        "content_text": "\n\nARTICLE XIII. \n\nAll persons, whether natives of China or otherwise, who may wish to convey goods from any one of the five ports of Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, to Hong-Kong, for sale or consumption, shall be at full and perfect liberty to do so, on paying the duties on such goods, and obtaining a pass, or port clearance, from the Chinese Custom-house at one of the said ports. Should natives of China wish to repair to Hong-Kong to purchase goods, they shall have free and full permission to do so; and should they require a Chinese vessel to carry away their purchases, they must obtain a pass, or port-clearance, for her at the Custom-house of the port whence the vessel may sail for Hong-Kong. It is further settled, that in all cases these passes are to be returned to the officers of the Chinese Government, as soon as the trip for which they may be granted shall be completed. \n\nARTICLE XIV. \n\nAn English officer will be appointed at Hong-Kong, one part of whose duty will be to examine the registers and passes of all Chinese vessels that may repair to that port to buy or sell goods; and should such officer at any time find that any Chinese merchant-vessel has not a pass, or register, from one of the five ports, she is to be considered as an unauthorized or smuggling vessel, and is not to be allowed to trade, whilst a report of the circumstance is to be made to the Chinese Authorities. By this arrangement, it is to be hoped that piracy and illegal traffic will be effectually prevented. \n\nARTICLE XV. \n\nShould natives of China who may repair to Hong-Kong to trade, incur debts there, the recovery of such debts must be arranged for by the English Courts of Justice on the spot; but if the Chinese debtor shall abscond and be known to have property, real or personal, within the Chinese territory, the rule laid down in the fourth clause of the General Regulations for Trade shall be applied to the case; and it will be the duty of the Chinese Authorities, on appli- cation by, and in concert with, the British Consuls, to do their utmost to see justice done between the parties. On the same principle, should a British merchant incur debts at any of the five ports, and fly to Hong-Kong, the British Authorities will, on receiving an application from the Chinese Govern- ment officers, accompanied by statements and full proofs of the debts, institute an investigation into the claims, and, when established, oblige the defaulter or debtor to settle them to the utmost of his means. \n\nARTICLE XVI. \n\nIt is agreed, that the Custom-house officers at the five ports shall make a monthly return to Canton, of the passes granted to vessels proceeding to Hong- Kong, together with the nature of their cargoes; and a copy of these returns will be embodied in one return, and communicated once a-month to the proper English officer at Hong-Kong. The said English officer will, on his part, make a similar return or communication to the Chinese Authorities at Canton, showing the names of Chinese vessels arrived at Hong-Kong, or departed from that port, with the nature of their cargoes; and the Canton Authorities will apprize the Custom-houses at the five ports, in order that, by these arrange- ments and precautions, all clandestine and illegal trade, under the cover of passes, may be averted. \n\nXVII, OR ADDITIONAL ARTICLE. \n\nRelating to British Small Craft. \n\nVarious small vessels belonging to the English nation, called schooners, cutters, lorchas, &c., &c., have not hitherto been chargeable with tonnage dues. \n\nIt is now agreed, in relation to this class of vessels which ply between Hong-Kong and the city, and the city and Macao, that if they only carry passengers, letters, and baggage, they shall, as heretofore, pay no tonnage dues; but if these small craft carry any dutiable articles, no matter how small the quantity may be, they ought, in principle, to pay their full tonnage dues. But this class of small craft are not like the large ships which are engaged in foreign trade; they are con- stantly coming and going; they make several trips a month, and are not like the large foreign ships, which, on entering the port, cast anchor at Whampoa. If we were to place them on the same footing as the large foreign ships, the charge would fall unequally; therefore after this, the smallest of these craft shall be rated at 75 tons, and the largest not to exceed 150 tons; whenever they enter the port (or leave the port with cargo) they shall pay tonnage dues at the rate of one mace per tou register. If not so large as 75 tons, they shall still be considered and charged as of 75 tons; and if they exceed 150 tons, they shall be considered as large foreign ships, and, like them, charged tonnage dues, at the rate of five mace per register ton. Foochow and the other ports having noue of this kind of intercourse, and none of this kind of small craft, it would be unnecessary to make any arrangement as regards them. \n\nThe following are the rules by which they are to be regulated :- 1st. Every British schooner, cutter, lorcha, &c., shall have a sailing letter or register in Chinese and English, under the seal and signature of the Chief Superintendent of Trade, describing her appearance, burthen, &c., &c. \n\n2nd. Every schooner, lorcha, and such vessel, shall report herself, as large vessels are required to do, at the Bocca Tigris; and when she carries cargo, she shall also report herself at Whampoa, and shall, on reaching Canton, deliver up her sailing letter or register to the British Consul, who will obtain permission from the Hoppo for her to discharge her cargo, which she is not to do without such permission, under the forfeiture of the penalties laid down in the 3rd clause of the General Regulations of Trade. \n\n3rd. When the inward cargo is discharged, and an outward one (if in- tended) taken on board, and the duties on both arranged and paid, the Consul will restore the register or sailing letter, and allow the vessel to depart. \n\nThis Supplementary Treaty, to be attached to the original Treaty of Peace, consisting of sixteen Articles, and one additional Article relating to small vessels, is now written out, forming, with its accompaniments, four pamphlets, and is formally signed aud sealed by their Excellencies the British Plenipo- tentiary, and the Chinese Imperial Commissioner, who, in the first instance, take two copies each, and exchange them, that their provisions may be immediately carried into effect. At the same time, each of these high functionaries, having taken his two copies, shall duly memorialize the Sovereign of his nation; but the two countries are differently situated as respects distance, so that the will of the one Sovereign can be known sooner than the will of the other. It is now therefore agreed, that on receiving the gracious Assent of the Emperor in the Vermilion Pencil, the Imperial Commissioner will deliver the very document containing it into the hands of his Excellency Hwang, Judge of Canton, who will proceed to such place as the Plenipotentiary may appoint, and deliver it to the English Plenipotentiary, to have and to hold. Afterwards, the Sign Manual of the Sovereign of England having been received at Hong-Kong, likewise gra ciously assenting to and confirming the Treaty, the English Plenipotentiary will despatch a specially appointed officer to Canton, who will deliver the copy con- taining the Royal Sign Manual to his Excellency Hwang, who will forward it to the Imperial Commissioner, as a rule and a guide to both nations for ever, and as a solemn confirmation of our Peace and Friendship. \n\nA most important Supplementary Treaty. \n\nSigned and scaled at Hoomun-Chae, on the Eighth day of October, 1843, corresponding with the Chinese date of the Fifteenth day of the Eighth moon, of the 23rd year of Taoukwang. \n\n(L.S.) \n\nHENRY POTTINGER. \n\nSeal and Signature of the \n\nChinese Plenipotentiary, \n\nPußers \n\nPage 240Page 241",

        "content_text": "in 1134 Hongkong \n\nTHE CHINESE TARIFF. \n\n(FROM FELIX FARLEY'S BRISTOL JOURNAL, OCTOBER 28, 1843.) \n\n0.0. NOV, \n\nTO THE EDITOR OF THE BRISTOL JOURNAL. Sir, The vast importance of the Chinese Tariff requires that it should be reduced to English weights, measures, and monies, for the use of British merchants, and not having yet observed that this has beca done, I beg to trouble yon with such s table, toge- ther with a few observations upon the standard to be observed. \n\nThe definition and determination of the Chinese tael is ex- preased in several different ways. 1st. It has been generally in England taken to be one third of the pound sterling, or Gs. 8d., or 80 pence, making the mace its 10th, S., and the caudareen its 100th part, 8-10ths of a penny. This simple relation to our own money would be a great advantage to English merchants if it were fully established, but some, as Beawes, make the candareen Ed., reducing the tael to 62. 3d. \n\n2ndly. It is now, however, for the most part compared with the Spanish dollar. Thus the latest and perhaps the highest sathority, that of Mr. Pope, in the Yearly Journal of Trade for 1843, states 72 taels to be equivalent to 100 dollars. The Spanish dollar is commonly estimated at 4s. Gd., but her Majesty's proclu- mation (Yearly Journal of Trada, 1840, p. 391), issued for the West Indies, makes it equivalent to 48. 2d. The tael, therefore, will be 6s. 3d, if we take the former, and 58. 94d. if the latter, for our guide. \n\n3rdly. It was originally compared with the Chinese silver coin called mace, and their copper coin called cash, but the mase has been long disused; 1000 cash were once equivalent to one fuel, but the depreciation of these coins by deterioration of the metal and reduction of their weight, so amply illustrated in the highly interesting and most authentic work of Mr. Davis, has now rendered the tael equal to a much greater number of cash. By Sir Henry Pottinger's Hong Kong proclamation of the 29th of March, 1842, 1200 of them are declared equal to one dollar. In weight I have found them vary from about 85 graina troy to twice as much. Du Halde says that the French sou is equivalent to the 100th part of the tael, that is to the caudareen, and also that it is equal to 6 cash, instead of 10. \n\n4thly. The Chinese tael is a weight, and has its value expressed by European weights, either avoirdupois or troy, and this is the truest mode of determining its equivalent in fine silver, seeing that the references to English money do not agree, that dollars differ materially in value, and that the Chinese cash are still more different from each other in their weight and quality. Measra. Gordon and Crawfurd, in their admirable treatise upon Chinese commerce, give a table stating the tacl is equal to 1 1-3 ounce avoirdupois, or 579.84 grains troy. These, unfortunately, do not agree neither, for 1 1-3 oz. avoirdupois contains 437.5 and 145.8 1-3 grs., or 583.3 1-3 grs, troy, and not 579.84. Again, Beawez in his \"Lex Mercatoria,\" states that the tael was 1 oz. 2 dr., of course troy weight, which in 480 and 120, or 600 grains. The editor of \"Mortimer's Commercial Dictionary,\" in his “Universal Commerce,\" p. 64, says 100 taels should weigh 120 oz. 10 dwts. troy, or 57840 grs., or the single tael 5734, which is less than any of the above. He says, also, that 100 Spanish dollars should weigh 68 13 dwts.; that is, 42,552 grs., of which we take the 72nd part, according to Mr. Pope, the tael comes out 591 grs. Now, 16 taels make a catty, and 100 catties a pecul; all autho- rities, I believe, concur in making the pecul 133 1-3 ib. avoirdu- pois, or the catty I 1-3 B., for which reason I prefer taking the tael as 1 1-3 oz., or 183 1-3 grs. The English crown piece, or N. is so nearly an avoirdupois ounce that if we could make this the standard the tael would come out as at first 5a, and 20d., or 6s. 8d., or 80d.; but in China all silver coin is taken as bullion, and the duties of course will be paid in fullion. The real value of the tael must, therefore, be sought in the market price of stan- dard silver. This, at the present time, I find to bo da. 1110. per ounce troy, which is almost exactly 48. 6d, the ouuoo avoirdupois, or 6s. the tacl; and I have accordingly made this my standard in the following table, wherein I have reduced the Tariff to English weights and monies. I prefer this to taking the market price of the dollar, whether Mexican or Spanish, new or pillar, and using the multiplier 1,204, because I consider that the term \"syees” means \"perfectly pure.\" This word I believe to be originally Chinese, although the characters used by the Chinese to express it do not indicate its proper etymology. I have no doubt that it was originally, in the orthoepy of Morrison, \"tsuh sih,\" or \"full quality;\" but the characters commonly used for it mean \"fine silk,\" expressive of what minoralogists would call it's \"lustre sating.\"* \n\nI cannot conclude without suggesting that, at the present low price of copper, 1000 tona, costing 70,000Z. or 80,0007., might advantageously be coined into Chinese cash, weighing each a 1-3 gra. This would greatly relieve the distress of the neighbourhood of Swansea, and supply Hong Kong and the Chinese with a good currency during the present and the next generation; for, if neatly executed, it would be universally coveted and hearded up in abundance, and would be a good payment for tea, instead of opium. On one side of the coin I would have the words \"Victoria Regina,\" and on the other, as usual, “perforated token,\" with \"Iong Kong\" instead of the Emperor's name. \n\nBristol, Oct. 14. \n\nI am, Sir, your obedient servant, \n\nSAM.

CURVATURE OF THE SPINE. \n\nThey particularly recommend their greatly improved Apparatus, which is so adapted to the shape as to give every supporting assis- tance in Spinal Affections, and to rectify all Curvature of the Spine, with comfort and ease to the wearer; and so constructed as \n\nnot to be seen by other persons. \n\nINCLINED PLANES, INVALID BEDSTEADS, FOOTSTOOLS FOR CONTRACTIONS, &c. \n\nA Large Assortment of Back-Boards and Collars, Dumb-Bells, Mudge's and other Inhalers, Medicine Spoons, Nipple Shields and Teats, Arm Slings, Eye Shades, Rolling Bandages, Artificial Calves, for small or wasted Legs, Patent Renovaters, \n\nor Electrical friction Gloves and Belts. \n\nFRENCH, SPRING, AND OTHER CRUTCHES, ON IMPROVED PRINCIPLES. \n\nINCURVATION OF THE LIMBS, AND CLUB FEET. \n\nIn every case of deviation from the proper line of structure, the Apparatus is simple in its construction, worn without the least inconvenience as to pressure, and capable of progressive adjustment, till the incurvation is entirely corrected. CORK AND WOODEN LEGS, ARTIFICIAL ARMS, HANDS, &c. \n\nHERNIA, OR RUPTURE. \n\nAll kinds of Patent Self-Adjusting & Elastic Spring Trusses, to which important subject, they have directed great attention. In this department they believe their experience has not been exceeded by any house in the kingdom. In these cases they meet with the greatest success, many thousands of all ages, especially infants, having been cured and relieved. They particularly recommend their improved Truss, which can easily be regulated to give the greatest possible support, and is worn without the slightest inconvenience, enabling the wearer to indulge with ease, and safety in every requisite exercise. \n\nPROLAPSUS ANI AND UTERI \n\nIn every instance they have removed the oppressive sensations resulting from this distressing malady, and have lately succeeded most completely' in a very important case of more than 20 years standing, in the instance of a gentleman of this city, who haw kindly permitted a reference.-A third edition of this case (to which are added several letters received from other sufferers testifying the great benefit they also have experienced from adopting the same means of relief) is published, and may be obtained at their Establishment. \n\nSUSPENSORIES, OR RIDING TRUSSES, LACED STOCKINGS, KNEE, & ANKLE BANDAGES, MADE OF ELASTIC SPRINGS, \n\nAnd also of the newly invented Patent India Rubber, which afford regular and necessary support either in weakness, or a varicose state of the veins, and admit of the natural action of the muscles, \n\nELASTIC and PLAIN BANDAGES of every description; HUNTING BELTS, STRAIGHT WAISTCOATS, &c. \n\nLADIES' ELASTIC SUPPORTING BANDAGES. \n\nSo highly necessary before and after Accouchement; for general Abdominal Weakness and UMBILICAL HERNIA, or NAVEL RUP TUBE.

Unimportant—knows nothing.]\n\n(7)\n\nJUNG ACFORT, groom—I was horsekeeper to the late Captain Da Costa. I accompanied Dr Tweddell on Sunday night to look for my master. I visited the village of Wong-ma-kok. On returning from said village, when about as far as the Stanley barracks are from the village of Stanley, I picked up a three-pronged spear. I cannot say that it had marks of blood on it. I did not notice that the turf was stained with blood near where this spearhead was found. The night was dark. I do not think that cries of distress could have been heard from the spot by the villagers. I have lived with the late Captain Da Costa for three months. I have never been in the village of Wong-ma-kok before Sunday last.\n\n(8)\n\n3d March, 1849.\n\nCHARLES MAY Sworn, a Superintendent of Police. Having received intelligence on Monday morning the 25th of February, that Captain Da Costa and Lieutenant Dwyer were missing from the quarters at Stanley, I proceeded thither with a party of Police and Soldiers accompanied by Mr Caldwell. A soldier of the Ceylon Rifles mentioned that he had seen some drops of blood on a footpath. I accompanied him and perceived the blood distinctly on a path which I subsequently found led from the village of Wong-ma-kok to a fishing hut on the west side of the peninsula. I requested Assistant Superintendent Caldwell to trace the path downward, and I proceeded upward, and early observed the track of blood in single drops at average intervals of a yard apart for above 400 yards—in three or four places three or four drops were close together. The track of blood ended where the path entered between two low stone walls, leading to, and about 100 yards from the village. I searched carefully right and left, and in the path, but saw no blood. I then proceeded through the village, and at the east corner perceived several drops of blood on a stone. A path continued by this stone to the place where two spear heads were stated to me to have been found; this was about 200 yards on the east side of the village. For about 100 yards along this path near to the village there is a thick jungle, and a fire was then burning from the jungle to about thirty yards of the spot where the spear heads were found, and extended backward for more than one mile. I searched on each side the path and round about where the spear heads were found, but discovered no traces of blood, or of a struggle. Before I had entered the village I saw a man on the hill above, to whom I beckoned, and he came to me. I took him into custody, and ascertained his name to be Lo-asee-zoong. I examined his person and found a wound on the right side of the head—such a wound as would be caused by a heavy blow from a stick; had been recently inflicted, as upon pressing it, blood oozed out. On the string or band fastening up his trousers [string produced] I saw several marks of blood; also several spots of blood on his ankles, near the heels. He represented, by words and action, that this wound was occasioned by his falling on a stone. I and Mr Caldwell searched the village, and in three houses we saw wearing apparel hanging up, as if recently washed; they were scarcely dry. A piece of cloth used as a towel was hanging up in the house at the east corner; I saw spots of blood upon it, and evident signs of blood having been nearly washed out.\n\nThe next morning I landed at the fishing-hut accompanied by the Chief Magistrate Mr Hillier. We saw the lowest drop of blood on the footpath before mentioned, and examined another path diverging to the left. On this path I saw three drops of blood at some distance apart: the path led to a cave formed by large rocks resting on each other, in which several bundles of bedding and clothing, and a box containing clothing and some silver ornaments were found by me. A bundle containing clothing was found by Mr Hillier on the top of the rocks; and upon Police Constable Crevy examining it, a jacket on which were visible several marks of blood was found. I then proceeded up the path leading to the village before mentioned, and on which, about 90 yards in length, the track of blood was clearly seen. A very minute examination was made, and in front of the houses in the village three spots of blood were seen by me; and in the path leading from the village to the place where the spears were found I saw several drops of blood. I received information that blood had been seen on some rocks near the water, and upon proceeding there, found the spot to be about 300 yards from the fishing-hut; the path diverging from the path leading to the village, led by the place. There were large marks of blood in four or five places, as if a body had lain there some time, and on one prominent point of rock, there were marks of a body being dragged over.\n\nThe party were about leaving the place, having previously had a search made by means of boat-hooks in the sea near, when a broken spear found at the village fell from the Police-boat into the water: the boatmen were endeavoring to recover this, when the body of Mr Da Costa came to the surface and was brought ashore. When I arrived at Stanley on the morning of Monday the 26th February, three persons had been apprehended, and upon being questioned through the interpretation of Mr Caldwell, the first examined, Lo-akow, stated, that he lived in the village of Wong-ma-kok with his father; that he was at home the previous day. He did not see any Europeans, or any strangers in the village. I showed him some spears and spear-heads which had been found, and some broken sticks or handles. He identified a spear with a single blade as belonging to Tay-apo, but that it was kept in his father's house, a three-pronged spear as belonging to Chea-asam, who resided in the village, and a knife or clipper as belonging to Chea-thing.\n\nThe second prisoner, Lo-yet-show, stated, he lived in the village, but was from home fishing until dark; he did not see any Europeans or strangers that day near the village. He said the two spears exhibited to him were the property of Chea-asam, the knife or copper the property of Chea-apo, and the spear-ends to belong to Chow-asam.\n\nOne we found a towel on which were marks of blood, but it had been washed; there were several pieces of wet clothing found in one or two houses. On arriving at the village I found Lo-asee in custody of Mr May. I observed a wound on the right side of his head, which, on being questioned by me at the request of Mr May, he stated he received in falling upon a stone on the hill. The following day, having been informed that blood had been seen on some rocks near the water, I went with the Chief Magistrate and Mr May, and saw four or five spots† of blood on some rocks a short distance from the water. We made strict search, both on shore and in the water by means of boat-hooks, but discovered nothing. As we were about embarking, a portion of a bamboo pike on being passed into the boat fell into the water, and the man in the bows with a boat-hook trying to recover it, hooked up something white. I desired him to lift it up higher, and on his doing so I found it was the body of Captain Da Costa; I immediately called out. The swell being rather high, I went a short way into the water to secure the body; a rope was passed at it, and it was taken out of the water. I was requested by Mr May to question two boys and an old man whom we found in custody at the barracks on the morning of the 26th; the two former gave different statements as to whom certain spears and spear-heads, which were shown them, belonged. They all three denied having seen any Europeans in their village on the 25th.\n\nWhen the body of the late Captain Da Costa was taken out of the water, I felt for his watch, but it was not on his person, nor had he any rings on his fingers. On Monday, when I arrived at Wong-ma-kok, I observed that a fire was raging immediately behind the village. A spot was pointed out to me where some spear-heads were found a short distance from the village; the grass around was on fire. When I arrived at Wong-ma-kok, Mr May had an old man in custody, named Lo-Assee; he had a cut on his head, which he said he received in falling against a stone. I saw marks of blood on his waist-band, and also on his neck. The five men seized in the fishing-hut or boat might have seen the body of Captain Da Costa thrown into the water from their boat, but I think not. If it had been done in the day time, but I think not. If it had been done in the night time.\n\nI acted as Interpreter to Mr May when he questioned several prisoners that had been seized on Sunday at the village. I have heard the statement made by Mr May, and fully corroborate it, as to the questions put, and answers given by the Chinese.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\n(11)\n\nMR CALDWELL further states, that the following prisoners had been seized before his arrival at Stanley, and were landed eventually to the Police,—Lo-akow, Lo-yet-show, Chui-assey, Lo-assee alias Lo-yang-ghing. The following five men were seized in a fishing-hut near Wong-ma-kok,—Cauchi fook, Chuw-fook-tong, Cheng-keen-ee, Chan-we-tong, Chun-no-fat, Lo-lee-shi; the wife of Chai-apo, was brought into Victoria on Thursday night last by Police Constable Mars; Woog-sannie was brought into Victoria yesterday (Friday) by an Indian Constable.\n\n(12)\n\nLO-YANG-SHING alias Lo-asse, is arraigned as a prisoner.\n\n(Mr Caldwell on the request of the Jurymen is sworn in as Interpreter.\n\nThe nature of the preceding depositions are explained to him. He is duly cautioned, being informed that whatever he may say, it may be taken down in writing, and used as evidence against him at any future time.] He now states,—I am a native of Namchong, in Kwang-sheen. I am a husbandman, and have resided for many years in the village of Wong-ma-kok, on the island of Hongkong. On the 3d day of this month (corresponding with our Sunday the 25th February,) two English Officers came to the village of Wong-ma-kok about dark. They went into my house; myself was there, my wife was cooking, and my daughter-in-law was keeping the door up. One of the officers, the shorter one of the two, embraced my daughter-in-law, made motions with my hand for him to desist. The girl cried out; my wife went up and pulled the officer away. I also begged them to go away, when the tall officer struck me with a walking-stick on the head—a common stick. [produces a cicatrix on the right side of the head, which seems to be the result of the blow inflicted.] The villagers hearing the cries of my daughter-in-law, came in, and tried to get the officers away. As the villagers came into my house, they were struck by the officers. My head at this time was bleeding; blood came into my eyes; I could not see. A villager standing next door to me, named Chui-apo, with six of his men, came in; they armed themselves with spears; a conflict ensued between these men and the English officers. When it was dark. I could not see the issue of the encounter. The disturbance arose principally because Chui-apo and his men would not submit to the treatment displayed towards my daughter-in-law.\n\nI did not interfere. I think that was wrong. The names of Chui-apo's men are as follows,—Chow-ping, a native of Kwai-shien. Chui-abing, native of Nautow, Cheng-asam, from Kweishen, Chui-assey alias Chung-kek-sing of [illegible]. The names of the others I do not know. Chui-apo has lived in the village for 1 year; he was a sailor, and returned to his native place, San-chuen in Kwei-skeen. Hoy-yeen-ping has been in the village but one month; he has a license from the Government to make gunpowder there. Some of the others have been residents of the village for two or three years. They did not till the ground. They eat grass, and sometimes go out fishing. They are not regularly employed by Chui-apo. Seven or eight hundred took part in the scuffle with the English officers. It first began in my house; 5 or 6 men first entered. Their names I have given before. I do not know the others by name. The English officers did not fall in my house, but they were wounded there. I did not see any blood on the ground in my house. The officers rushed out of the house, but were pursued by the assailants. The name of my daughter-in-law is Lo-chow-sing; she is aged 18 years. She was taken from the village on Sunday night—at all events I have not seen her since. The officers used to visit the village usually. I never knew them to converse with my daughter-in-law during any of these visits. The two men on Sunday, before coming into my house, had entered Chui-apo's, where they had interfered with women, but they were driven out. In the house, during the struggle, the tall English officer wrested a spear from Chui-apo, knocked him down, and kicked him. In aiming a blow at Chui-apo, the spear broke. I do not know whether Chui-apo was wounded.\n\nI can identify the spear that was seen, who had been away from the village fishing for the day. [Several spears are then shown to the prisoner, and he identifies the broken one.] He identified a broken stick which he said belonged to Chow-chong, who broke it in beating a cow shortly after it had calved; he accounted for several spots of blood upon the handle from the latter circumstance.\n\nThe third prisoner, Chuy-see, said he foretold good and bad weather; he had been at the village of Wong-ma-kok lying with the Lo family about one month; he was in the house all day, and saw no Europeans or strangers. The village of Wong-ma-kok is situated on a level space of about five acres, near the top of the peninsula between Stanley and Ty-tam bay. There are four families living there, the heads of which are named respectively, Chou-sheeng, Tau-agar, Tai-apo, and Lo-see. These latter particulars I ascertain from the Assessment Return for Police Rate. I have compared the head of a spear found on the east side of the village by Police Constable Marshall, with the handle of a spear found by Lieutenant Maxwell 95th Regiment, and find the broken parts to correspond; on the handle there are marks of blood.\n\nWhen the body of the late Captain Da Costa was taken out of the water, there was not any watch on his person, nor had he any rings on his fingers.\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\nWILLIAM ROWLAND MAXWELL being sworn, states.—I am a Lieutenant in H. M. 95th Regiment. On Tuesday last, the 27th February, I visited Wong-ma-kok. In the village I found the shaft of a spear, apparently had recently broken. I found it thrust into a bundle of hay. The shaft now produced is the one I found; it bore marks of blood.\n\nWILLIAM ROWLAND MAXWELL, 95th Regiment.\n\n(10)\n\nwas found by the party of Dr Tweddell, a 3-pronged spear.] it was after the spear was broke that the officers shed out. When I was wounded, my wife shouted out, \"Help, help. save my life.\" The villagers then rushed in, but they did not come armed; they pulled the officers out, and in attempting to do so, they were struck with sticks. The villagers then got spears. The officers did not make any resistance before the conflict ensued and before the spear was broken to escape. In the house of Chui-apo there were two women, one aged 16, a married girl, daughter-in-law of Chui-apo; the other was an old woman his wife. I overheard the result of the conflict, nor do I know what has become of the officers. The Stanley officers set fire to the grass. Late on Sunday a party of officers and men came to the village and enquired what had become of the two officers. I replied that they had been interfering, and a disturbance had taken place, but that I did not know where they had gone to.\" I suspected that the two English officers had been killed, from the way they were fighting, but I was afraid to say so to those that came in search. My eldest son was outside my house during the conflict; he afterwards returned, but did not say anything. I have not had communication, nor yet seen any of the villagers who took part in the conflict.\n\n(13)\n\nLo-yang-sing, after having been duly cautioned in a similar manner to the last deponent, states,—I am a son of the last deponent, and reside at the village of Wong-ma-kok. On Sunday last, I remember two English officers coming to the village; at the time I was not in my father's house, having out-door occupation. I saw them going into several houses looking after women, and into my father's house amongst the rest. On my entering my father's house, I saw one of the officers embracing my sister-in-law; my father interfered, and desired him to desist. He would not; my father tried to pull him away, but could not. The villagers then came in; they were not called, they came of their own accord. They were then armed with spears and knives. They fought with the officers in the house. A spear was wrested from Chui-apo by the tall officer. I did not see any wound inflicted by this officer. I saw him aim a blow at one of the villagers.\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL Sworn, states,—I am Assistant Superintendent of Police. On the morning of the 26th ultimo (Monday), in consequence of information received at the Station that two officers were missing from Stanley, I accompanied Mr May to that place for the purpose of making search. One of the men of the Rifles having stated that he had observed spots of blood on a footpath, he took us to it. I was requested by Mr May to trace westward, that is down the hill towards Stanley bay. I observed single spots of blood along the footpath, about the distance of three and four feet apart. In some places several spots were together. I traced the blood to within about 50 yards from a fishing-hut, and about 100 yards from the water. I went to the hut, which I examined. I found Chinese there, whom I took into custody and sent to the barracks in charge of some of the Rifles. I afterwards examined a sampan in the water close to the fishing-hut. I examined it, but found nothing suspicious about her. I then retraced the footpath, and observed the single spots of blood all the way to within a short distance of the village of Wong-ma-kok. I searched the houses with Mr May. In one house I had been frequently at the village.\n\nQuery—Swears—Ed.C.M.\n\n11\n\naway, saying it was improper for them as other relatives with the villagers.

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.

Directed my boatmen to search opposite this place; they searched with a boat hook without discovering any thing for some time. There was a heavy swell, and in keeping the boat off the rocks the broken handle of a spear fell into the water; he ing one of the spears from the village, I ordered the boatmen to recover it, as it was part of the evidence, it had sunk and was entangled among the seaweed). While the boatmen were trying to recover it a body became visible among the seaweed, which I recognis- ed to be that of Captain DaCosta. There were several wounds on head, hands, and body, that in the eye appeared to have been inflicted by a triangular spear; the body was taken to Stanley Enrracks that night, and subsequently brought to Victoria.\n\nDanie!

Searched the pockets, found the watch has gone, the rings were also missing; touk the body Stanley, Corroborates the account of the state of body as to wounds on head, hands, and face, saw other wounds after the body was undraseed; } the body was taken from Stanley to Hongkong. Went to the village some days after with Lo-acow, who point- ed on the exact places where the others were killed, one was in a brick field; there was a pool of blood there.\n\nCrons examined,-The place where Captain Da Costa was killed was absent 74 yards from corner of house at the end of village.

Discovered three wounds inflicted by a knife or sword on the scalp, penetrating to the scull; at outer angle of left eye a perforated wound, made apparently by a spear. Such an instamment as the spear with a cutting edge might have inflicted the wounds on the scalp. There was a large wound on the right hip three inches long made by a cutting instrument, the esa kond of spear might have done it; there were very severe contusions, on the hands, face, and back, us if the body had been beaten. Think none of the wounds sufficient to cause death. Did not open the body from the advanced state of decomposi tion. Dr. Tweddell, agreed in my opinion. I think Captain DaCaste was thrown in alive and drowned. Probable that Captain DaCosta was either in a state of syncopé or altering from concussion of the brain when thrown into the water. I form this opinion from the appearance and nature of the wounds-the water would operate in the same way to came death whether the person suffered from syrempe or concussion of the brain---drowning would be the cause of death. Chain DaCosta if suffering from concussion ang't have remained in an insensible state for two or three days, if in syncopé could not remain so two 3 hours and live,\n\nCross examined,--The handle of the spear could i not produce the wounds on the body, the head of the y spear broken off, would not produce the cat wounds, it might produce the wound in the eye.\n\nThe Attorney General proposed to read the depositions of the absent witnesses,\n\nMr. Gaskell objected on the ground that the late Ordinance only applied to Chinese witnesses and ) was not retrospective.\n\nLieutenant Macdonald's filed deposition read.

Jardine, Matheson & Co.'s office and godowns; and they seemed to have had a good many friends who cried out sufficiently loudly on the injustice of condemning innocent men to death to induce Sir John Bowring to give the men a second trial before himself and the Executive Council.\n\nAfter a lengthened examination of witnesses during two days, we are informed by eye witnesses that the guilt of the men was, if anything, made more apparent.\n\nThe Governor has, however, in deference to popular clamor, seen fit to remit the punishment of death.\n\nBoth in the new trial and in the commutation of punishment, Sir John Bowring has acted in an exceedingly improper manner.\n\nHer Majesty has instituted an Order of Valor to be called the \"Victoria Cross,\" which is only to be conferred during acts of signal bravery before the enemy.\n\nAs to the trial, we have said that we have been informed by eye witnesses that the guilt of the men was, if anything, made more apparent.\n\nThe fire on board the Fiery Cross made such speedy work with the coin that Captain Thoms has to regret the loss of the whole of his cabin furniture and clothes.\n\nThe mail to 11th February is very strong as to the peace congress in Paris, and that is the sum of the news--all else is \"leather and prunella.\"\n\nThe Levant, of 382 tons, for Australia, formerly an American (U. S.) vessel but now flying the Hawaiian flag, was seized by orders of Sir James Stirling for a breach of the Chinese Passenger Act.\n\nThe offence committed is that she had not the requisite papers from the Emigration Officer.\n\nIf she had 320 passengers on board, as stated, she also committed a breach in carrying an excess of passengers.\n\nBut, in addition, she has no ship's papers--all of which, or even two of which, may be considered a good ground for proceeding to the utmost extremity of the law--forfeiture of the ship, and fine and imprisonment of the parties engaged.\n\nBut then arises the question--What are the passengers to do?\n\nWe have heard it stated that the charterer, or owner, or whatever character he holds, has received from 30,000 to 35,000 dollars for passage money, while it is asserted that the value of the ship at the outside is not 10,000.\n\nIt is not an agreeable position for the government to find themselves in, having deprived 320 men of their passage of the value of 30,000 say, and to find themselves with only 10,000 towards reinstating the unfortunate wretches in their former position.\n\nIt looks to us as if the \"Chinese Passenger Act\" is bad, or that it is badly administered; perhaps a little of both, but most likely more of the latter.\n\nIn the first place, the supervision of the ship is not compulsory on the part of the Government.\n\nSecondly, it is only to begin on the application of the Captain to the Emigration Officer.\n\nWas it not advisable to have interfered earlier?\n\nWe desire the death of no man, but so long as the statute book affixes death as the punishment of the highest order of crimes, so long ought these crimes to be punished with death.\n\nAnd we know no greater crime than that of armed gang robbery, where the life of the defenders of property is taken.\n\nIn the case of the Levant, the vessel came into harbor on 16th March, was laid on for passengers, and even when seized on the 23rd ultimo, had been given to the Emigration Officer.\n\nPROCLAMATION.\n\nJOHN BOWRING.\n\nGovernor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.\n\nThe Sentence of Death recorded against Wong-AKUT, convicted of murder at the last Criminal Session of the Supreme Court, is commuted to that of Transportation for Life; the Sentence of Death passed on Chan-Wah-Kong, Tam-Kut-Heng, Lo-Ah, Cha-Anboon, and Luk-AuH, also convicted at the above Sessions of the same crime, is commuted to that of Transportation for Life; and a Free Pardon is granted to Tam-AKUT, similarly convicted on the same occasion.\n\nBy His Excellency's Command\n\nW. T. MERCER,\n\nColonial Secretary.\n\nGOD SAVE THE QUEEN.\n\nGiven at Victoria, Hongkong, this 26th Day of March, 1856.\n\nLately there have been numerous desertions from the ranks of the 59th Regiment, and many more would doubtless have occurred and the means of getting from the island been as direct as they were when we had more whale-ship recruiting here than we have lately had.\n\nIt being suspected that a number of deserters were secreted on board the American whaler Canton Packet, Inspector Jarman with a party of police proceeded on board that vessel on the evening of the 27th, when nine were ferreted out of their hiding places.\n\nAbout three o'clock yesterday morning, it was noticed that the steamer P&O'slun, which has been lying here for the last five months undergoing extensive repairs, was on fire.\n\nTHE PUBLIC SCHOOL.\n\nThe Annual General Meeting of the Subscribers to the new Public School was held in the Agricultural Society's room on the 24th ultimo.\n\nA Statement showing the Progress and Attendance at \"St. Andrew's School,\" during the year 1855-6.\n\nApril ........ 16\n\nMay ........ 30\n\nJune ........ 36\n\nJuly ........ 38\n\nAugust ....... 37\n\nSeptember ..... 35\n\nOctober ...... 33\n\nNovember ..... 32\n\nDecember ..... 30\n\nJanuary ...... 28\n\nFebruary ..... 26\n\nMarch ....... 25\n\nTotal ....... 62\n\nAverage Attendance 16\n\nPresent: Messrs.

Before a coroner's jury held on view of ten of the bodies that had been brought here, the engineer stated that he chanced to be on deck at the time the vessel struck, that he heard the Captain saying \"stop her\" which was immediately done,—that in a minute or so, he heard the Captain again cry \"go on, all right,\" when the engines were put to work, but they had only made three revolutions when the water rushed into the engine room; that having again turned off the steam he was engaged in drawing the fires, but before he was enabled to do so, the water had reached his middle.

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.

If any new private instructions have been given to Contractors or others to set aside this Government order. 2. If not, it is a high disgrace that Government should allow its servants to employ labourers on public work on a \"day of rest.\"\n\nI merely state what I saw almost under the windows of our Lieutenant Governor's house and opposite the house of the Registrar General and the Collector of Police &c., several Chinese workmen were employed in repairing the road; lower down the street, near the house of the Attorney General, and just outside Formosa, on the 24th instant, spoke the American brig \"Getes,\" whose gang of workmen were busily employed in setting up the large iron gates at the bottom of Gough Street.\n\nVox Populi is not admissible on the ground, amongst others, that the writer falls into the errors which he condemns.

They run thus:\n\n1. \"Have nothing—I never took anything.\"\n\n2. \"I have not stolen anything.\"\n\n3. \"I have not stolen anything.\"\n\n4. \"Seen.\"\n\n5. \"Not a legal question—stole nothing.\"\n\n6. \"Stole nothing.\"\n\n7. \"Stole nothing.\"\n\n8. \"Stole nothing: the two hats Dr. Bridges said there was no bar in taking.

LL.D. &c. for so kindly furnishing us with the precis of the contents of the papers taken at the attack on Cowloon, &c.\n\nBetween that and \"stolen\" there is a mighty difference in the minds of some people. We will illustrate the difference by telling the following story:—A Leith wine merchant whose business had been declining, and upon whom a strong desire for military fame just at the same time fell, was glad to take service with Don Pedro when he contended with Miguell for the throne of Portugal.\n\nIt would have been for him had he in the course of his universal acquirements stumbled upon the precaution of the good Chamundas; or had looked nearer one at the protector-te of Olyfe the hammer, when the community was governed without Laws. Back leginnion, however, was not suited to the busy, meddling mind of Wilmi le Teary. On the contrary, he conceived that the true wisdom of legislation consisted in the multiplicity of laws. He accordingly had great punishments for great crimes, and little punishments for little offences. By degrees the whole surface of society was cut up by ditches and fences, and quickset hedges of the law, and even the sequestered paths of private life so hemmed by petty rules and ordinances, too numerous to be remembered, that one now] could walk a large within the risk of having off a spring-gun or falling into a man-trap—\"Knicker\"-bocker's History of New York.\"\n\nTo the Editor of the \"China Mail.\"\n\nThe COVENT, 1st April, 1857.\n\nDEAR MR.

The steamer had followed them up to this place which it appears they have made their rendezvous for some time past.\n\nThe result of a sharp and successful contest was the complete defeat of the Pirates who were compelled to retire, having about 200 killed, wounded, or prisoners, in the hands of the assailants. We have not heard of any serious casualties to any of the Sampson crew.\n\nXI.

        "content_text": "No. 17-APRIL 28, 1857.\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\n63\n\n72\n\nword \"abearing.\" but we would have been glad to see the boats that were to take them over nearly numbers of artificial and natural barriers to its free navigation, and an exact survey must also be made of all its creeks. All this will not be done concerning the Glinck Tartars whose villages he visited. The Chairman brought to the notice of the members, that no meeting of the Council had been held for some time; and it was agreed that the regular fortnightly meetings should be resumed.\n\nThe paper contained a sort of summary of some parts of the Coast of Tartary visited by the author in H.M. steamer Barracouta during 1856, and any interesting particulars concerning the Glinck Tartars whose villages he visited. The excuse by party motions in parliament, where the orator hid his face in his cambric pocket handkerchief to hide the tears he does not shed for the woes of the poor Chinese, while he winks at his followers to keep them alive to the capital party game he is playing for power and plunder.\n\nOn this basis we say the ordinance will not and cannot be carried out, at least not without an extra police force. Did any one ever before hear of the chief authorities must clearly understand that they are to act on this understanding, or leave the country, or be prepared for a continual recurrence of similar disturbances to the present.\n\nThe real birds were flown as is even thinner than that of the Russian. A vote of thanks was then passed to Dr. Tronson for his interesting paper, and the meeting adjourned.—China Mail, April 23.\n\nCHINESE POISONS.—We extract from the North-China Herald a paper on Chinese poisons by Dr. MacGowan of Ningpo. Dr. MacGowan does not aim at giving any scientific information on the subject of poisons, and his paper is therefore merely a popular, and we may add amusing essay, which will very likely be read with interest.\n\nThe Hongkong Government Gazette of 28th March 1857 furnishes us with the census of Hong Kong to the 30th December 1855. Taking it simply as we find it, without note or conjecture, it appears there are 69,251 of Chinese of all ages and sex on the island. Of these 45,602 are adult males and 12,001 adult females, with 11,558 male and female children. Of Houses we have 2,257 in Victoria and 972 in the Villages—a total of 3,239 houses, which will give on the average 322 number one, and 2,907 number two spies.\n\nA contemporary says he does not know fear, likely to experience something of a reverse due to the approaching season. Owing to the Chinese rebels to the north, the tea districts were so placed as to lie somewhat out of the way of the transmission of produce direct to Shanghae having been stopped by the advance of the rebels.\n\nMARKETS. Since the departure of the last H.M.S. \"RALEIGH.\" This vessel bearing the flag of Commodore Keppel, while almost in sight of her destination, struck on a sunken rock, and after a run of nearly twenty-five miles was beached on an island in the neighborhood of Macao. We say beached, but we ought rather to say sunk in 12 feet of mud and 3 fathoms water.\n\nORIENTAL BANK CORPORATION.\n\nEXCHANGE.\n\nOn London,—6 months' sight, 4s. 11d. Calcutta—3 days' sight. Rupees 23¼ per $100. Bombay, 8 days' sight, Rupees 23¼ per $100.\n\nCORTIT AND OTHER BILLS.\n\nOn England—58.—6 months' sight.\n\nOn Bombay,—3 days' sight, Rupees 23¼. On Calcutta—3 days' sight, Rupees 23¼.\n\nFoo-Chow. This port which has assumed a great position in the tea trade is, we fear, likely to experience something of a reverse due to the approaching season.\n\nThe poison used by the bandits who kill game with poisoned arrows seems to be something of the same nature, if in fact it is not altogether the same, as the South American poison Wourali.\n\nA contemporary says he does not know what the effect of this high-handed proceeding may be on the Chinese; but we well know that the effect it has on ourselves, i.e., to move us to derisive and contemptuous laughter.\n\nIt seems to be doubtful if she will be saved. The Commodore and men are however available as a \"Naval Brigade,\" and as such may do more service than as the crew of a heavy frigate unable to get up the Canton River.\n\nCORROX. Little business has been done, but sellers are firm. Bombay is quoted:—10.75 a 11.50 and Bengal $9.75 a 10.75.\n\nSHANGHAE. The rates at Shanghae on 20th inst. were: Patna $39 a 345; Malwa $358 × 360.\n\n69,251 spies, always excluding the little children who cannot speak, the numbers of which are not stated in the census. Well then, the first work in the morning is to collect the household spies, to ascertain what each of their neighbors had in the way of victuals, who called on them—what they said when they called—what was said in reply.\n\nThe Kapcheong, the tenth occupier, has done the same, and then he is waited upon by his nine neighbors who empty their buckets of gossip into his, and with that he trudges off to empty it into the general cesspool—the Register General.\n\nBy the time all the buckets are emptied into the general receptacle, the day will be well done—we should think. But then the framers of the ordinance will say, there will be no such need of so many reports; there must be honest men, there are plenty of Kaps. Granted, but will that exonerate the occupiers from a daily inquisition into his own household and into those of his neighbors if he wishes to evade the penalties of the law?\n\nON THE CHINESE SLAVE TRADE TO CUBA.\n\nThis disgraceful traffic has been exciting considerable attention here of late—see correspondence and leaders.\n\nNo one, not even the agents engaged in it, denies the atrocities committed in carrying it out— but what is the love of our neighbors to the love of ourselves? The whole matter is stated when we say, that money, and a great deal of money, is to be made in the trade.\n\nOne sanguine correspondent thinks that if matters are so bad asserted, the British Consul at Havana would take the case up. The British Consul at Havana has to look after his own countrymen, and certainly has no power to interpose with the Spanish Government to punish on behalf of the Chinese coolies after they are landed.\n\nWe trust no one will attempt to make upon it that so one but the most worthless fellow there seems to be a doubt whether more African slaves were lost in the middle passage than Chinese freemen on their passage to Havana.\n\nThere is however the concluding objection, were better off than the free men. When a slave owner buys a slave he becomes part of the wealth of his master, and to be cared for as his master's horses or dogs.\n\nA great part of the funds that had been sent up country for the purchase of teas have been returned to Foo Chow, and it is feared the trouble state the entry will parallel. The Vice-Roy has addressed a letter to M. Parker, U.S. Minister, assuring him that the murderer of Mr. Cunning ham has been strangled for the offence.\n\nThe duties which have been kept back by the 18 Canton authorities were about to be paid up.—Work—China Mail, April 18.\n\nSUPPOSED ATTEMPT AT INCENDIARISM.\n\nLast Saturday about sundown the two policemen on a beat to the West having captured a coolie suspected of incendiarism, left their beat to convey their captive to the station, and in their absence two boats filled with men were seen pulling in towards a very exposed shed of the P. & O. S. N. Co.'s containing coal and patent fuel.\n\nThe boats were fired on and they pulled back, but whether any one in the boats was killed or wounded does not appear. It is very clear to us what they intended to do. If the Compradore is generally a respectable man, we know too well what fearful retribution would eventually overtake him, to be guilty of a useless crime.\n\nOUR SECOND WAR WITH CHINA.\n\nLet the government think of the two opposite politicians the Earl of Derby and Mr. Cobden were honest men, instead of howling out sham grief and weeping crocodile tears over the miseries of the unfortunate Cantonese, they would be laboring to put a stop to this trade which has inflicted and will inflict more misery that even the worst effects of war in China at one blow, if at all, and the disgraceful carried on by us are ever likely to cause.\n\nDAILY REPORT.\n\n(Macau, 26th April, 1857.)\n\nCOTTON—Bengal - $10 a 10½ per picul.\n\nBombay -10¾ @ 11.\n\nMadras\n\nOPIUM—Patna New\n\nWe shall have to read on the 15th instant on the Ghilack Tartars by John M. Tronson Esq. assistant surgeon of H.M. Str. Barracouta.\n\nEna, the supposed murderer of Mr. Markwick, is now safely lodged in gaol for trial.\n\nAt a meeting of the China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society on Wednesday evening, 15th April.\n\nDr. Harland, Vice President, in the chair. The minutes of the previous Meeting having been read by the Secretary and proposed by the Chairman for approval.\n\nDr. Anstey rose, and proposed that in the sentence commencing with \"The Attorney General continued at some length and in very strong language,\" the words \"in very strong language,\" should be expunged.\n\nThe Attorney General explained that it might be inferred from these words that his language had been needlessly strong. This, he maintained, was not the case, and affirmed that he would have been justified in speaking still more strongly.\n\nThe general opinion of the meeting seemed to be, that the words in question properly characterised Mr. Anstey's language, but that it was not to be inferred from them that this language was stronger than the occasion warranted.\n\nIt was then put to the meeting by the Chairman. \"That the minutes be confirmed as they stand.\" For this resolution were. Drs. Harland, Lorrain, and Chadscoat, and Mr. T. A. Lane.\n\nAgainst it were the Hon. T. C. Anstey, Esq., and the Rev. Alex. Irwin.\n\nThe minutes were accordingly confirmed.\n\nThe Auditors and the Treasurer being absent, the Society's accounts were not presented.\n\nDr. Tronson's paper—\"Some observations on the Ghilack Tartars, their manners, customs, and the regions they inhabit,\"—was then read by the Secretary.\n\nAs soon as reliable information had been obtained, the Tepo, with his confederate the head watchman, and two other Chinese, were summoned to appear before the Magistrate here, to answer some petty charge or other.\n\nThe Tepo, however, proved too cunning, and declined to answer the summons; but one of the two men who had been summoned up along with him as a blind, got into a great fright, and disclosed several important facts.\n\nThe consequence was, that two expeditions were planned. One to Chek-chu on Saturday, to apprehend the Tepo and secure the stolen property; the other to Cowloong on Tuesday, to endeavour to get possession of the mandarin emissaries.\n\nThe arrangements in both instances were exceedingly well laid, and if they did not perfectly succeed, the failure is to be attributed to causes over which those who planned them could have no control.\n\nSee Supplement.",

We allowed ourselves great latitude as to the kind of evidence we admitted, and were obliged to do so particularly in the matter of hearsay evidence, though not to the extent which the Attorney General (who sent in a protest on the subject) considered justifiable or even necessary. We may observe here, that the same gentleman also forwarded a protest against the manner of taking Chinese evidence, as being in his opinion palpably favourable to Mr Caldwell. But we now repeat, what the Chairman stated at the time of the reception of the protest, that we consider the Attorney General's complaint totally unfounded.\n\nWe have experienced great difficulty in our labours: First, from the nature, arrangement, and wording of the charges—some of which it appeared unnecessary, as it certainly was most distasteful to us to inquire into; Secondly, from the reluctance of witnesses to give evidence; and Thirdly, and especially from the refusal of the Attorney General to act as accuser, or to recognize the charges as his charges. Under these circumstances, we considered it advisable to engage the services of Mr Day to act as examiner, parties interested being informed that he would receive at his Chambers any information which it was intended to bring before the Commission.\n\nOn the subject of our inquiry we report:\n\n| Charge | Result |\n| --- | --- |\n| 2 | has been satisfactorily met and explained by Mr Caldwell, though there existed strong prima facie grounds for bringing it. |\n| 4 | is not proved, but that there were grounds for bringing it. |\n| 5 | no proof whatever has been brought forward in support of it. |\n| 14 | is not proved as regards Mr Caldwell himself, though it appears that Mrs Caldwell has had transactions in land and houses for her sister since December last, when Mr Caldwell became Licenser of Brothels, but that there is no evidence that Mr Caldwell had any knowledge of such transactions. |\n| 15 | has not been proved. |\n| 16 | no proof has been given in support of it, but that there were grounds for bringing it. |\n| 17 | no proof whatever of it, and that there were no sufficient grounds for bringing it. |",

        "content_text": "# 451\n\nThat there were no grounds whatever for bringing charges 18 and 19. That there were no grounds whatever for bringing charge 3.\n\nThat with regard to charge 6, a long and intimate connection between Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong has been proved, but that there is no proof of any connection by affinity according to Chinese law or custom.\n\nThat with regard to charge 7, it is proved that Mr Caldwell has been in the habit, on Ma-chow Wong's unsupported information, of arresting persons; but that there is no evidence as to his confiscating or restoring property.\n\nThat as regards charge 8, there is no evidence of any connivance or procurements of Mr Caldwell; but that it is manifest that the Chinese are very averse to give evidence against him.\n\nThat as to charge 9, it has been proved that Mr Caldwell aided in the acceptance of Sze-kai, his former servant, as bail for Ma-chow Wong; and that Sze-kai had been imprisoned for debt for a few days a short time previously.\n\nThat we think it unnecessary to make any other observation regarding charge 10 than that there is no evidence of Mr Caldwell having deceived the Executive Council.\n\nThat with reference to charge 11, a partnership with Ma-chow Wong in a lorcha is proved, and in fact admitted by Mr Caldwell; but that there is no evidence as to payments to Mr Caldwell out of the produce of plunder made at sea.\n\nThat as to charge 12, there is no evidence whatever.\n\nThat the fact stated in charge 13, of the release of the men upon Mr Caldwell's representation as to their character, there is no doubt whatever; and that it appears incomprehensible how any person, with Mr Caldwell's knowledge of the Chinese language and holding the appointment he did, could have been ignorant of the character of the boats in which the men were seized, and that one at least of these men was a notorious pirate, particularly as it is in evidence that Ma-chow Wong was connected with the boats.\n\nThat with regard to charge 1, it being only a matter of inference, we find in support of such inference that a sum of money was offered by a Chinaman as a mark of gratitude to Mr Caldwell for being instrumental in the release of a lorcha seized by pirates, in which the man's father was; but that this money was refused by Mr Caldwell, and on such refusal, it was offered to Mrs Caldwell as a present for the children. A majority, however, of the Commission do not feel satisfied that Mrs Caldwell accepted this money. It has also been proved that a Chinese female named Shap Lok, who had been in frequent communication with Mr Caldwell (and is reported, but not proved, to be a sister by Chinese usage of Mrs Caldwell), received from the Foo T'ai pawn-shop the sum of $400 because the sentence on a pawn-broker belonging to the said shop had been mitigated, as was supposed, through her influence, and that she received a further sum of $50 for her personal trouble in the matter. Further, since the commencement of this inquiry, Mr Caldwell has, solely upon the information conveyed in an anonymous letter that certain property had been stolen, personally and without the assistance of the police, searched a room in the occupation of Assow, the Police Court Interpreter, whom Mr Caldwell knew to be about to give evidence before the Commission. Mr Caldwell, in the opinion of the Commission, acted in this matter injudiciously, to say the least of it. Notwithstanding these facts, coupled with the circumstance of Mr Caldwell's connection with so notorious a character as Ma-chow Wong, it appears to a majority of the Commission that, although Mr Caldwell's original appointment as a Justice of the Peace may have been injudicious, they do not necessitate so strong a measure as his removal from that office.\n\nFinally, we would state that in the course of the inquiry, it has come to our knowledge that previous to the appointment of the Commission, certain papers connected with Ma-chow Wong's trial, and which might have been of service to the Commission, have been destroyed; but it has been clearly proved that their destruction was ordered solely because they encumbered the Chinese Secretary's Office, while it appeared that they were then of no value and could not be further required.\n\nTo His Excellency\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\nYour Excellency's\n\nMost obedient humble Servants,\n\nSIR JOHN BOWRING, Kt., LL.D.,\nGovernor of Hongkong,\n&c., &c., &c.\n\nCHAS.

        "content_text": "# 453\n\nkind.\n\n(2)\n\nout that three of the 11 were specially mentioned as having been transferred to Chun-atsew previous to the payment of 26th February; from which I said it was perfectly clear that the other 8 had not been transferred. No explanation was given by the Governor, by the Acting Colonial Secretary, or by anybody whatever, in answer to this important document; nor could any one say who were Lum-ateen, the names having been spelt over to him by Mr Caldwell. I have made inquiry myself, not through Mr May or the Police, but through a Chinaman, who these people are.\n\n[Mr Anstey here offered to give the information, but Mr Caldwell objected to the evidence of the Chinaman unless he was produced.]\n\nThe debate that day, the 14th, closed with a renewed expression by the Governor and Dr Bridges of their high appreciation of Mr Caldwell's conduct, in the face of this evidence, and I have not heard that Mr Caldwell has attempted any further explanation. I have already put in the strong testimonial contained in Dr Bridges's letter of the 17th, which I take to be a further judgment upon this complaint. I have therefore a right to say, that the charges now under investigation have been already disposed of by the Executive Council. Even if the suggestion that there had been any mistake in the matter had not, under the above circumstances, already been proved to be false, I might point out to the Commissioners that it is on the face of it ridiculous and absurd, inasmuch as it is the daily and immediate duty of the Registrar General, by Section 5 of the Ordinance which gives him power to register Brothels, not only to ascertain correctly the actual state of their title and occupancy, but to record those particulars on the spot, and communicate the same to the Colonial Secretary. The Section requires, that in those records shall appear the names of the immediate Landlord or Lessor of the licensed brothel, and also of the Crown Lessee or Tenant of the plot of ground on which the same may be standing or built; and this is for the purpose of the speedy and summary conviction of these persons, whether they are the immediate offenders or not, against the Ordinance. I beg now to say, that I am ready to give the names of two witnesses who will be able to prove matters relating generally to this inquiry.\n\nThe matter then dropped for the time, but about half an hour afterwards, Dr Bridges having communicated with Mr Caldwell, Mr Caldwell himself made his appearance in an adjoining room, and sent in a written memorandum to Dr Bridges, which that officer, rudely interrupting the gentleman who was speaking, insisted on reading to the Council. He observed with an air of triumph, \"There, now — I thought so — Mr Caldwell says it's a mistake, and it is a mis-Chun-alai, and Chun-atsew — names which Mr Gilmour said take;\" and he read the memorandum to us, which purported to lay the blame on his lawyer, Mr Stace, who ought to have registered the transfer of this brothel lot from Mr Caldwell to a purchaser, but had not. He emphatically denied that he owned a single inch of land in the colony. I observed that Mr Caldwell had forgotten to say a word about paying the ground-rent with his own hands, which could not have been by mistake. Dr Bridges said he did not pay it with his own hands, and I understood he was speaking of Mr Caldwell. I said, \"In a matter like that, I would rather believe the evidence of an impartial witness like Mr Gilmour whom we had heard, than the simple denial of the accused person;\" upon which Dr Bridges said, that he had said nothing of the kind. Mr Forth, however, confirmed my statement of Mr Gilmour's evidence. I then asked His Excellency whether he really meant to say any charge brought by any person, above all a person in my position, could be disposed of or even met by the broad denial of it on the part of Mr Caldwell. The Governor said that he really thought Mr Caldwell had met it, — upon which the matter dropped. In consequence of this, I wrote my letter of the 13th, which has been put in.\n\nPrevious to the next meeting of Council, which was on the 14th instant, I received from the Colonial Treasurer the return of Crown-rents paid on 11 lots. I reserved this document until I should hear what would be the result of a discussion which I knew the Colonial Treasurer was going to commence on the subject of lot 241 B, and I advised him to say nothing about the remaining 10 lots. As I expected, the Governor read from the chair, in reply to the Colonial Treasurer, a letter (L) from Mr Caldwell, referring to lot 241 B, and reiterating the statements of his former memo.\n\nMr Forth had, on the morning of the 11th instant, brought into the Governor's room Mr Gilmour, who contradicted Dr Bridges's statement of his words used on the previous day — and said that the rent of this lot was paid, as I had asserted, in propria persona by Mr Caldwell on the 26th February. Consequently Mr Caldwell, unable any longer to deny this fact, admitted it in his letter read on the 14th May, but added, that he did this merely to oblige a poor Chinaman, who was ignorant of our language and customs, — which to my mind, as I told the Governor, was a confession of agency for a brothel. I then asked whether Mr Caldwell had made any explanation as to any other lots besides 241B, and was answered, No. Upon which I gave this document (List of Ground-rents, see appendix B in letter C) in to the Governor, showing that if there had been one mistake, there had been eleven mistakes, all in one day. I pointed...\n\nThe Chairman informed Mr Caldwell that he could put questions to Mr Anstey through him.\n\nMr Caldwell said that he had no questions to put on this head.\n\n## FREDERICK WOODS, — Called and examined.\n\n| Questioner | Question | Answer |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Chairman | Have you ever bought of Mr Caldwell land in Taipingshan? | No. |\n| Chairman | Have you sold any land to Mr Caldwell during this year or last year? | No. |\n| Chairman | Have you sold land to any persons through Mr Caldwell as agent? | I have sold lots through Mr Caldwell to Chinamen, about I think the latter part of last year. |\n| Mr Caldwell | Do you know why I parted with those houses? | I understood that it was on account of being in difficulties. |\n| Chairman | Have you re-bought any portion of this land through Mr Caldwell as agent? | No. |\n| Chairman | Have you any recollection where this property lies? | The numbers of the lots are 206, 263, 264. All; from the construction of the houses, all the lots are one. |\n| Chairman | At the time of the auction, do you remember seeing Lum Ateen bidding? | I do not. I did not know him then. |\n| Chairman | Did you believe that the lots were purchased by Lum Ateen, or that Mr Caldwell had any interest in the purchase? | I sold the property to Lum Ateen, and had no reason to think that Mr Caldwell had any interest in the transaction. |\n| Chairman | Did you not sell through Mr Caldwell a lot, one of the Western Market shops, to the same man? | I sold the shop, but do not recollect if it was to the same man. |\n| Chairman | Has the transfer been registered? | No. I have still possession of the deeds. |\n| Chairman | Can you give any reason why the transfer has not been completed? | I hold the deeds as security for the payment. |\n| Chairman | Have you sold any lots through Mr Caldwell as agent since the fire? | None. |\n| Chairman | Can you tell us who occupies these lots? | I believe they are occupied by Chinese. |\n| Chairman | Since the fire, have you sold any land through any one to Mr Caldwell? | No. None whatever. |\n| Mr Lyall | Have you purchased any land under directions from Mr Caldwell? | No. |\n| Chairman | Can you tell the Commission the name of the man for whom Mr Caldwell bought lot 206? | Lum Ateen was, I believe, the name. |\n| Chairman | Can you tell us who Lum Ateen is? | Relying upon the agency of Mr Caldwell, I believe him to be a respectable man.

He did not refer to any other property; he said he would speak to the Surveyor General on the matter.  \nChairman, Have you, within the last few days, been actively employed in making any inquiries regarding Mr Caldwell?  \nMr Lyons, No, I have not been actively employed, and have not been instigated to make any inquiry concerning Mr Caldwell.  \nChairman, Do you know Cheong Assow?  \nMr Lyons, I know Assow the Road Surveyor.  \nChairman, Have you been to him lately to inquire for a man named Lum Ateen?  \nMr Lyons, Yes.  \nChairman, Why?  \nMr Lyons, I went to him and asked him to get an Interpreter. He produced some papers of the Government Offices on several lots - not 206, but, I remember, lots 241 B and C. They were certificates of rent paid to the Government by Mr Caldwell on account of a Chinaman. The papers had a Chinese name, but I do not recollect it. The papers for lot 206 he told me were in the hands of Mr Stace. I told him then to see to the nuisance, and to get the drainage attended to.\n\nChairman, Will you tell the Commission if you ever saw Lum Ateen before?  \nMr Lyons, I do not know him.  \nChairman, How did you find where he lived?  \nMr Lyons, The tenants told me.  \nChairman, Where was it?  \nMr Lyons, In a lane at the back of Circular Buildings.  \nChairman, Have you any means of knowing what occupation Lum Ateen follows?  \nMr Lyons, I do not know - he was dressed well when I saw him first.  \nChairman, Why did you not go to Mr Caldwell, as you supposed him to be the landlord?  \nMr Lyons, I went to Lum Ateen, because he was the nearest, and I thought it possible the houses might have changed hands.  \nChairman, Did you go to any one else?  \nMr Lyons, I went to Yee Wo Fook the Coffin-maker, and asked him if he was the owner of lots 241 B and C. He told me that he was not; that he rented them from Lum Ateen. Lum Ateen told me that he owned all the lots, and that he sublet lots 241 B and C to Yee Wo Fook.\n\nChairman, Have you within the last few days had any conversation with Chinese females concerning Mr Caldwell?  \nMr Lyons, Yes.  \nChairman, What is the female's name?  \nMr Lyons, I think her name is Lin-hee.  \nChairman, Who is Lin-hee?  \nMr Lyons, She is the owner of some property in Taipingshan. She was building some houses there, which she asked me to look after because she was anxious to get the roofs on before the wet weather set in. I stayed there some time, and asked her if she was not a relation of Mrs Caldwell. She said, No, she was not a relation, but they had been companions from childhood together. I believe from what I see that this woman is a Procuress. She said that they both came from one place, Macao, but she had not spoken to Mrs Caldwell since she lived in the station. I went round yesterday to lot 206, and found that the space where the houses abut was filled with filth, also 241 C and B. I inquired who rented the houses of 241 C and B and 206. I could not find out, and was told the parties were out. I then directed the attention of the tenants to the nuisance, and asked them who their landlord was. Some of them told me Samkwei [Mr Caldwell], and some of them told me Lum Ateen.\n\nChairman, Have you any recollection how many houses there were?  \nMr Lyons, There were five or more. Some said that the proprietor was Yee Wo Fook the Coffin-maker. I went to Lum Ateen, and asked him if he was the owner. He told me, Yes, that he was owner of all the lots. I then thought that he was not telling the truth, and asked if Mr Caldwell was the owner. He said, No - that he himself had been owner for twelve months past. I spoke to him through an Interpreter.\n\nChairman, Did you ask her if she knew Shap-lok, a female?  \nMr Lyons, She said, Yes. I asked, was she a sister of Mrs Caldwell. She said, No, that she was a sort of god-sister. I then told her not to forget to put on the roof as soon as she could, as we might have some wet weather.\n\nChairman, Had you any conversation with any other Chinese female?  \nMr Lyons, I do not recollect any conversation.\n\n(5)\n\nChairman, Have you had any conversation with any Chinamen on the subject?  \nMr Lyons, Yes.  \nChairman, With whom?  \nMr Lyons, Awai, formerly an Interpreter at the Police Station.  \nChairman, When did this conversation occur?  \nMr Lyons, This morning.  \nChairman, Where?  \nMr Lyons, In Queen's Road West.\n\nRe-examined,—  \nChairman for Mr Caldwell, Had you any particular reason for inquiring about Lin-hee's relationship?  \nChairman, Was it with a view to give evidence before the Commission concerning Mr Caldwell?  \nMr Lyons, No. It was only with a view to protect myself.  \nChairman, Did you get the paper?  \nMr Lyons, No, I did not. The fact is, I have been in a lorcha myself, and I believe that most people who have been in lorchas have an inward feeling that Mr Caldwell can do them injury at any time; and I wished to get the paper to protect myself. I had no idea of being brought before this Commission.  \nChairman, To whom did the lorcha in which you were belong?  \nMr Lyons, To Achong, the P. & O. Co.'s Comprador. Beaver was with Akwai, not with me.\n\nChairman, Have you any cause for the belief concerning Mr Caldwell?  \nMr Lyons, She said she was a poor woman; to which I said, you are Mr Caldwell's cousin. My question concerning Shap-lok was merely an idle one.  \nChairman, Were the names Lin-hee and Shap-lok given you by Mr May?  \nMr Lyons, Yes.  \nChairman, Did Mr May ask you to make the inquiry?  \nMr Lyons, No. He asked me if I knew them.  \nMr Lyons, He asked me some days ago if I knew the parties, and I said that I knew them by repute.\n\nChairman, What was your conversation with Awai?  \nMr Lyons, I asked him if he knew Shap-lok. He said yes; I asked who she was, and he said she was Mrs Caldwell's sister.\n\nChairman, Did you make any further inquiry?  \nMr Lyons, No. That was the only conversation about Mrs Caldwell.  \nChairman, Was that an idle question?  \nMr Lyons, I asked him because he is a man who knows almost everything about Hongkong.\n\nChairman, Have you been lately at the Gaol making inquiries about Mr Caldwell?  \nMr Lyons, I have two days ago.  \nChairman, What inquiry did you make?  \nMr Lyons, I inquired concerning the man Beaver, having some reference to Mr Caldwell.  \nChairman, Of whom did you make this inquiry?  \nMr Lyons, I made it of the convict Boggs, because I felt convinced that he was with Beaver in the employ of Akwai [the pirate], for whose apprehension a reward is offered; and to learn as to the truth of a statement made to me by Beaver after he had been released, and whether he knew who was in possession of the paper which was laid on the table of the Supreme Court at the time of his (Eli Boggs') trial.\n\nChairman, Did you get your information?  \nMr Lyons, I did.  \nChairman, Had that paper any reference to Mr Caldwell?  \nMr Lyons, It was stated by Boggs to have been written by Mr Caldwell.\n\nChairman, What were the contents of that paper?  \nMr Lyons, I do not know personally what the paper was about. I was anxious to obtain the paper, thinking it might be of service to myself.\n\nChairman, Do you know in whose employ Beaver was before he was in Akwai's?  \nMr Lyons, In Mr Caldwell's, in the lorcha `Kee-loong-poon`.  \nChairman, Do you know who her part-owner was?  \nMr Lyons, Her register gave Mr Caldwell as the sole owner.\n\nChairman, Do you remember a piracy committed by Beaver on Achong?  \nMr Lyons, I only know it from hearsay. Beaver told me that he went on board Achong's lorcha, and asked whom the lorcha belonged to. They told him it belonged to Achong. His party then agreed with a party on board Achong's lorcha for a gun that was on board. He (Beaver) told them that the gun was sold, and an order for the money passed on some person in Hongkong.\n\nChairman, In what way would Boggs' paper have enabled you to make your defence if an accusation had been made against you?  \nMr Lyons, In case of my being brought up, I wished to be able to show by it that Mr Caldwell was connected with that sort of people himself. The paper was said to be written by Mr Caldwell, and recommended Ma-chow Wong, Mr Caldwell's brother, to the notice of the pirates for the purchasing of provisions and other matters. I can prove that Beaver said this, by another European who was present at the time.",

        "content_text": "# 456 \n\nC \n\n( 8 ) \n\nMr Dixson,—Mr James Stephenson was one—Mr Douglas Lapraik was another. I was requested to attend the Council, to furnish any evidence in my possession to substantiate certain statements in the **China Mail**. I may mention, that all my statements were borne out by memoranda produced by Mr May.\n\nabout it, and that he had advised him, as he was sure to lose the case, to pay back the money at once. I may say, that, as a friend of Mr Caldwell, it has vexed me exceedingly to see his connection with such a man, and I have repeatedly spoken to him on the subject. On one occasion, the last before Ma-chow Wong's apprehension, I said, \"Depend upon it, you will rue the connection with such a scoundrel.\" Caldwell's reply was \"Oh, you can frequently turn rogues to good account,\" or something to that effect. He thought that he was using Ma-chow Wong as a tool, and I thought that Ma-chow Wong was using him.\n\nChairman,—Do you know if Ma-chow Wong's investigation before the Council was got up at the instigation of Mr Caldwell?\n\nMr Dixson,—I do not know. I know that Mr Caldwell was exerting himself to accomplish the liberation of Ma-chow Wong, which I attributed to the very long acquaintance which had existed between them.\n\nChairman,—Have you had any occasion to change your opinion since?\n\nMr Dixson,—I think the only reason that I have to do so is, that, with such powerful evidence as was brought against Ma-chow Wong in the Court, I cannot comprehend how Mr Caldwell should still continue to advocate his innocence and strive to procure a pardon.\n\nChairman,—Did not Mr Caldwell, before the apprehension of Ma-chow Wong, tell you, in reply to your remonstrance, that the connection had ceased, or words to that effect?\n\nMr Dixson,—I am under the impression that he did, but would have forgot it unless the question had been asked.\n\nChairman,—Will you tell the Commission what took place at your examination before the Executive Council?\n\nMr Dixson,—I considered the line of examination adopted by His Excellency as Chairman of the Council was so one-sided and so unfair, that I told the Council it seemed as if I had been put upon my trial,—that I had come there voluntarily by request to testify what I knew regarding a notorious scoundrel, and to produce such proofs as I had in my possession; that if I was not allowed to tell my story my own way, I would close my note-book and leave the room.\n\nChairman,—Can you tell us if it has come to your knowledge that any endeavour is being made at present by Mr Caldwell to get Ma-chow Wong off?\n\nMr Dixson,—I am not aware of such attempt at present, nor have been for some time.\n\nChairman,—Did not you say just now that the Council was brought to a sudden close by the production of some memoranda of Mr May?\n\nMr Dixson,—Yes—Mr Caldwell and Stace, understood, got permission to take away any documents connected with Ma-chow Wong in the hands of the Police. That of certain of these papers, Mr May with the assistance of interpreters had taken memoranda. The papers were taken away from the station—I understood by Mr Caldwell and Mr Stace. I had learned something of the contents of the memoranda, and on informing the Council that I believed I could fully substantiate all the statements I had made in the paper, was astonished to learn that a translation of the papers, made by order of the Government, by Mr Caldwell assisted by Mr Mongan, contained no proofs, or but very trifling proofs indeed, of the correctness of the charges I had brought. The translation I heard read over in Council, and it proved an entirely different affair from what was shewn in Mr May's memoranda. All the members of Council expressed the utmost astonishment at such being the case, and Mr Mongan on being called could not account for it. The Council seemed to break up suddenly, and I have never heard from that day to this whether the documents were ever forthcoming or not.\n\nChairman,—What took place at the Council?\n\nMr Dixson,—The principal occurrences were, that His Excellency had drawn out four charges from passages in the **China Mail** (of 17th September, 1857,) and demanded of me to prove them. I said I thought I could do so; and amongst other things, produced a Bill of Exchange drawn by Ma-chow Wong upon one of the pirate-leaders at Shanghae. I mentioned the names of several parties who had expressed a willingness to appear before the Council to substantiate my statements. The Council was very suddenly broken up upon the production of certain memoranda by Mr May. I don't know why His Excellency did not summon the gentlemen I mentioned. They had expressed their readiness to come.\n\nChairman,—Do you agree to Mr Anstey's version of your conversations?\n\nMr Dixson,—On Mr Anstey's evidence being read over I confirm it with the following remarks:\n\nThe fire referred to (when the threatening gesture was made) was at the Police Station, not at Taipingshan. I know nothing of my own knowledge, good or bad, about Mr Caldwell's family; I have been introduced to the reputed adopted Brother and Sister of Mrs Caldwell. I know nothing of my own knowledge against Mrs Caldwell.\n\nChairman,—Of your own knowledge do you know if she was ever brought from a brothel?\n\nMr Dixson,—From my own knowledge I do not. I believe she never was a prostitute. I have heard the charges read over. Of the 1st, 2d, and 3d, I know nothing. The 4th must be very much qualified, except in the case of Ma-chow Wong. The 5th, I know nothing of. The 6th I don't know except by hearsay. As regards the 7th, I believe that the Police have been in the habit of arresting innocent men on the information of Ma-chow Wong. I don't know anything about the 8th—I don't understand it. No. 9, I know nothing of. With regard to 10, I have already said all I have to say. 11, there is one entry of money paid to Mr Caldwell in Mr May's memoranda of Wong Akee's books. Of 12, 13, 14, 15, I know nothing of. 16 I have already explained. Of 17, 18, and 19, I know nothing.\n\nChairman,—Did you not tell the Attorney General, last week or the week before, that you did not think that Mrs Caldwell had been a prostitute; but that you knew she had once been an inmate of a brothel, and that you knew a China-woman well who had lived along with her in a brothel?\n\nMr Dixson,—No.\n\nChairman,—Did not the Attorney General ask you if you would have any objection to be called to give evidence of these facts?\n\nMr Dixson,—I said that I should be happy to give evidence, not of these facts, but of facts connected with the general enquiry. What I said was, that I knew or had heard from a person who had lived in a house (not a brothel) with Mrs Caldwell, that she, Mrs Caldwell, had been brought up as a singing-girl in a brothel. I do not know this of my own knowledge—and am not inclined to give the name of my informant. I decline to bring any body here; but I believe the statement to be true.\n\n[The name of the informant was by request handed over to the Chairman.]\n\nCross-examined,\n\nChairman,—You have stated in your evidence that you were under the impression that Mr Caldwell had told you after the trial, that his connection with Ma-chow Wong had ceased. If such was the case, I wish to know if you are still under the impression that he is advocating his innocence?\n\nMr Dixson—It is not so in the evidence.\n\nChairman,—You have also stated that some of the papers taken in Ma-chow Wong's possession had been taken from the Police Station by Mr Caldwell and Mr Stace. Will you give your informant's name?\n\nMr Dixson,—I decline giving the party's name. I am; but I qualify it, believing that Ma-chow Wong never gave any information without having a selfish end in view. I know of a case, and brought a witness up to prove it before the Council, where Ma-chow Wong gave information for ships-of-war to attack pirates, and afterwards sent boats to collect loot from the pirate junks, after the men-of-war had done with them.\n\nChairman,—Do you believe that Mr Caldwell derived any pecuniary advantage from his connection with Ma-chow Wong?\n\nMr Dixson,—I do—in general terms.\n\nChairman,—Do you think that from any of the unlawful transactions, Mr Caldwell derived any share?\n\nMr Dixson,—I decline answering that question.\n\nChairman,—Have you known Mrs Caldwell for any length of time?\n\nMr Dixson,—I have, intimately.\n\nChairman,—Are you aware that some time ago she was baptised?\n\nMr Dixson,—Yes.\n\nChairman,—And that immediately afterwards they were married in the Cathedral?\n\nMr Dixson,—Yes.

I knew them before their public marriage, and considered them as much man and wife then as afterwards.\n\nChairman,—Have you ever seen anything in Mrs Caldwell's conduct which would tend to give you a bad opinion of her?\n\nMr Dixson,—No. I have never seen anything of the kind.\n\nChairman,—You are also aware that Mr May has been on very friendly terms with Mr and Mrs Caldwell for many years, visiting at the house?\n\nMr Dixson,—Yes.\n\nChairman,—You are aware that Mr May is a married man?\n\nMr Dixson,—Yes.\n\nChairman,—He is Superintendent of Police and Justice of the Peace?\n\nMr Dixson,—Yes.\n\nChairman,—Did you see the memo. of Mr May's before it was produced at the Council?\n\nMr Dixson,—I decline answering the question. I saw it at the Council.\n\nChairman,—You have known Mr Caldwell intimately a great many years?\n\nMr Dixson,—Yes—most intimately, and would probably have done so till this day, but for Ma-chow Wong.\n\nChairman,—Have you ever had any reason to suspect that Mr Caldwell ever derived any benefit from plunder at sea?\n\nMr Dixson,—Yes.\n\n[Some questions of Mr Caldwell's were here disallowed by the Chairman.]\n\nChairman,—With reference to charge 16, I think you say that you are acquainted with the family of Mr Caldwell?\n\nMr Dixson,—Yes.\n\nChairman,—Are you aware that he has a Sister-in-law?\n\nMr Dixson,—A woman has been pointed out to me as such.\n\nChairman,—Do you know if in 1855-6 she kept a brothel?\n\n(9)",

Paid by Mr Caldwell on account of another man-not in his own name: D. R. Caldwell on account of Lum Ateen, &c., for Lots 179, 241 B, 241 C, 242 B, and 262, £8, 14s. 7¼d.; on account of Cheu Alai, £2, 2s. 5d.\n\nChairman,-Have you ever heard that either Mr or Mrs Caldwell have been adopted by Ma-chow Wong?\n\nMr Dixson, I have heard that Mrs Caldwell was. I cannot produce any one who has told me.\n\nChairman, Do you believe that the brothel was kept by his supposed sister-in-law, or by a person of her name?\n\nMr Dixson, I believe it was kept by herself. Chairman, Will you give her name?\n\nMr Dixson, I do not know the name. I do not know her as Shaplok. Chun is the family name; Chun Atai, I think.\n\nIt was proposed by Mr Lyall, seconded by Mr Scarth, and carried unanimously, That the Chairman do communicate with Mr Day on the subject of the first resolution, and do make such arrangements with him as he may think necessary.\n\nThe Commission then adjourned.\n\n## THIRD DAY\n\nTuesday, 1st June, 1858, at 11 a.m.\n\nPresent,-All the Members.\n\nThe Chairman opened the Proceedings by stating that Mr Day had been engaged by the Commission as their Legal Adviser: that he had been instructed to conduct the inquiry neither for nor against Mr Caldwell, but with a view to elicit the truth. Mr Day would be happy to receive suggestions from any person at his Chambers as to the parties it might be desirable to summon, and the evidence they could produce. And further, that no person but Mr Caldwell would be allowed to make any remark except in answer to questions put to him as a witness. It was also proposed to investigate those charges only which referred to Brothels and Brothel Licenses, &c., comprised in Nos. 2, 5, 14, 15, 16, and 17.\n\nJ.

There are some lots paid for on 18th February, on account of Mr F. Woods by Mr Caldwell, on Inland Lots 206, 263, 264, 551, amount £4, 11s. 3¼d.; on account of Sin On Wo, 5th March, £9, 16s. 2¼d., for Marine Lot 33 D; and D. R. Caldwell on account of ... 4d. for Lot 552. Those are all I know of.\n\nJANUARIO A. DE CARVALHO,—Called and examined.\n\nMr Day,—What is your situation?\n\nMr Carvalho, I am employed in the Treasury Office as Accountant.\n\nMr Day, Will you look at that book-payments on 26th February, 1858?\n\nMr Carvalho, I received one amount on 5th March, on account Sin On Wo £9, 16s. 2¼d. On the 4th the Chinaman came himself, and on the 5th came accompanied by Mr Caldwell. He could not understand me regarding encroachments made on his Marine Lot; he therefore came next day with Mr Caldwell, and paid the money.\n\nMr Day, Did Mr Caldwell have any conversation with you respecting the Lot?\n\nMr Carvalho, I told Mr Caldwell the reason why for this half year an additional sum was wanted, which Mr Caldwell explained to the man.\n\nMr Day, Was the money then paid?\n\nMr Carvalho, Yes, by the Chinaman.\n\nMr Day, Is this entry \"received from Mr Caldwell on account of Sin On Wo\" correct?\n\nMr Carvalho, Yes.\n\nMr Day, Were you present when Mr Caldwell made any other payments to Mr Gilmour?\n\nMr Carvalho, I think I was.\n\nMr Day, Do you remember any conversation that passed on the subject?\n\nMr Carvalho, I do. Mr Caldwell said that he paid merely as agent. I can't recollect what number he referred to.\n\nMr Day, Did he say for whom?\n\nMr Carvalho, He gave the names of Chinamen which [on reference to memo.] are I think Lun Ateen, Chun-Alai, and Chun Atsew.\n\nMr Day, Did he make any request as to whose names the receipts should be made out in?\n\nMr Carvalho, He desired they should be made out in the names of those parties. I did not hear him say anything else.\n\n(11)\n\nLUM ATEEN,—Called and examined.\n\nCross-examined,—\n\nMr Day, Regarding the payment of 5th March, for lot... My name is Lum Ateen; I live at the Toong Hap shop, in the Sheong Wang-am a doctor, and keep a Drug-gist's shop at the entrance of the Western Market; have lived there since the third moon of last year. The medicine shop has only been open for a few months; have practised as a physician before that, and had a shop near Lee Kip-tye's house; have practised here as a physician for about 12 years.\n\n95th December last,\n\nMr GILMOUR,\n\nRecalled.\n\nMr Day, Can you find any further receipts of payment amongst my friends. Have attended Mr Caldwell's children, principally the children and the servants, also Mrs Caldwell. About seven years ago went to California, and was away eight months employed as a Ship's doctor; took medicines with me to sell-they cost about $300; took no money beyond a few dollars.\n\nMr Day, When the payments were made on 26th February, by Mr Caldwell, did he state anything?\n\nWhile in California practised as a physician. The result in a pecuniary point of view was good, I made upwards of $2000; brought back the money in Gold Dust which I sold in Canton 170 taels at $20 per tael, (say $3,400.) On my return I renewed my acquaintance with Mr Caldwell. Two years ago I had some transactions with Mr Caldwell regarding the steamer Eaglet. I acted as a sort of agent between some of my relations and Mr Caldwell; I had no share in the steamer. I left the money earned in California at interest with friends in Canton, in the first moon of the second of Hienfung, and got it back in about a year afterwards. I bought a lot of clothes, ear-rings, &c., to send to California by my young brother, who was coming and going from and to that country. My brother came back sick. I heard that the speculation had been a good one, but only got back $1,000. Invested only about $1,000. With the remaining money I lent out some at interest, and with some I bought shops from Mr Caldwell. I remember when Mr Caldwell became embarrassed.\n\nMr Gilmour, He told me to make them out as in certain names. I don't recollect that he gave any reason for so doing; he spoke to Mr Carvalho before he came to me.\n\nMr Day, Did he say in what capacity he made the payment?\n\nMr Gilmour, No; not to me.\n\nMr Day, With reference to the payment on 18th February, on account of Mr Woods. Does the same remark apply to it?\n\nMr Gilmour, I don't recollect about that payment. I could not have put in Mr Woods name unless desired to do so. Mr Woods was not present.\n\nCross Examined, Did you overhear what Mr Caldwell said to Mr Carvalho?\n\nMr Gilmour, I fancy that I heard him, on the 26th February, say that those lots were not his: that they were to be transferred, or had been transferred.\n\n[Mr Caldwell was asked to produce his Register of Brothels.]\n\nMr Caldwell, This is the Register of Brothels, and is at the disposal of the Commission, and will be handed into the Colonial Secretary when required. I acknowledge that I have been neglectful in keeping up this book. It has been impossible to keep the book up on account of numerous changes in the Brothels, which would take all my time to note.\n\nIt appears on reference to the book, that Brothel No 38 on the ground floor of lot 206, and that the keeper's name Wong Angun; Brothel 76 is on the upper floor of lot 306, keeper's name Ho Amoy; No 77, is on lot 206, keeper's name Leu Ayee; 78, Lee Wing Wo; 79, Lew Yee.\n\n| Brothel No | Location        | Keeper's Name |\n|-------------|-----------------|---------------|\n| 38          | Lot 206, ground floor | Wong Angun    |\n| 76          | Lot 306, upper floor | Ho Amoy       |\n| 77          | Lot 206         | Leu Ayee      |\n| 78          |                 | Lee Wing Wo   |\n| 79          |                 | Lew Yee       |\n| 48          | Lower Lascar's Row, Lot 249 B | Chun Wun Yow  |\n\nIn the 1st Registry of Brothel 48 there is an entry, \"Brothel 48; Number of house, 203; locality, Lower Lascar's Row; name of the keeper Chun Wun Yow; Number of Prostitutes, 6; Number of Lot, 249 B.\" In the column of Remarks this license is stated to be cancelled. There is an interlineation above it of another License Number 48, House 15; locality, upper street; name of keeper, Sow Atseen; no entry of Number of Lot.\n\nThere are a great many deficiencies in the Registry, the number of the lots, the name of the landlord or lessor, and the name of the Crown lessee being inserted in very few instances.\n\nHe owed me $2,000 for which I was getting interest. $1,500 was lent by me (as agent for a friend) to Mr Caldwell without interest. The $2,000 were lent at the rate of interest of $50 per month. I was told last year by Mr Caldwell, that he was going to sell off all his property, for the benefit of his creditors. He sent for me in the fourth month of last year, and told me that all the creditors were willing to arrange; that the interest of the money was to cease at the end of the previous month, and that I was to go to Siemssen & Co., to get my proceeds of property sold. I was asked to sign a paper stating that I was agreeable to the arrangement. Mr Caldwell informed me of the value of the property, and that the houses had been valued. The value stated was $4,700, and I was told the value of each house. I wanted to take ten houses, and set off the value against the money due to me; but Mr Caldwell said that the creditors would not agree to that; I afterwards bought ten of the houses for $2,200. I paid the money to Mr Caldwell at his house in Gough Street. Of the $300 I paid $150 to Mr Caldwell, and for...",

I told him that I had spent a good deal of money in repairing them, and that there were some rents unpaid, and I asked him to let them to me, I being responsible for the repairs. Lum Ateen said that I might have the seven houses at the same rate as before, $30, to which I agreed. The other house was agreed for the same day, for $25. My previous knowledge of Lum Ateen extended only to knowing him by sight. The house spoken of as being intended for a hospital has not been used as such; it is now a family house. I do not know how Lum Ateen got the money for the houses, and do not know anything of his pecuniary affairs, nor anything about his going to Macao.\n\n**TOMAS BERNARDO RIBEIRO**.-Called and examined. I live in Hollywood Road, house No. 300; have been there since January 1857. I took the house of Mr Caldwell's comprador, who told me that the house was Mr Caldwell's. I am keeper of a licensed boarding house; I pay the rent to the comprador, whom I last saw this morning. He came to my house about half-past 7 this morning of his own accord, and said, \"If any gentleman comes asking you, don't tell that this house belongs to Mr Caldwell. Say that it belongs to Mrs Caldwell, or a relation.\"\n\n[Mr Caldwell admits that he receives the rent of the house, but denies the ownership. He also admits that he is the reputed owner, or in other words, that people suppose him to be the owner.]\n\nI told him that the policeman had asked me who the owner of the house was, and that I told the policeman the comprador had told me the house belonged to Mr Caldwell. The comprador did not tell me that if anyone asked who the owner of the house was I was not to say Mr Caldwell. This conversation was in Manila language.\n\n**CHUN SAMCHUN**,-Called and examined. I am a broker, and reside in house No. 331; the number of the ground lot I don't know. I have lived there ten days, and took the house from a person called Lum Ateen, or rather his collector of the same surname who lives at the Cho Sow Tong. I know Mr Caldwell, but have not seen him at my residence. I do not know about Mr Caldwell having any interest in the house.\n\n**CHOU AH-CHEE**,-Recalled. I have brought my rent book. [Book examined, and found to contain entries beginning 20th December last, of $16 rent, paid to and acknowledged by Yee Wo.] Afook is the master of the Yee Wo shop.\n\n**FONG WEIKAI**,-Occupant of inland lot 250, and house 411,-Called and examined. I have occupied the house a few days, and took it from Yee Wo.\n\n**WONG AOON**,-Called and examined. I have occupied my present house (the same house as last witness) two months. I took it from Yee Wo. I do not know who the owner of the house is.\n\n**HO ACHOONG**,-Called and examined. No part of the house in which I live is used as a brothel. There is no brothel on the side of the street in which I live; there is one over the way. The comprador once said that unless I could pay every month I should be turned out. One time he took me down to Mr Caldwell's office. I have lived in the same house as last witness since the 15th January last. I took it from Yee Wo Fook, to whom my boarders pay the rent. I do not know to whom he pays it, nor who the owner of the house is. I said to Mr Caldwell, \"Excuse me this time, as soon as I get ships I will pay.\" Mr Caldwell said, \"I have nothing to do with it; you had better speak to the comprador.\" The comprador said, that I must pay or seek another house. On the 20th of this month I shall owe one month's rent; all the rest has been paid.\n\n**JOHN LYONS**.-Recalled. I have looked at the plan of houses in this colony, and find that house 300 is on lot 204. There are other 5 houses on the same lot, none of which are to my knowledge brothels. The other houses in this lot are numbered 301, 299, 249, 250, 248. Laurenço Pablo lives in a house 248 Lascar Upper Row, No. of license 22.\n\n**LAURENCO PABLO**.-Called and examined. I live in Lascar Upper Row, behind the house of Ribeiro. I keep a Boarding House, and have lived there sixteen months. I took the house of Mr Caldwell's comprador-Lai Sze-kai, who told me that Mr Caldwell was the owner. I pay the rent to the comprador, and last saw him at half-past 7 this morning, at which time he came to my house voluntarily. He asked me what the policeman had said to me, and I told...\n\n**LEONG CHEWKWONG**,-(Lot 204, house 301, Hollywood Road,)-Called and examined. I have occupied this house since the 24th December last, took it from Lai Sze-kai, master of the Tai Cheong shop. I pay the rent to him. He says that he collects the rent for a relation. He has never used Mr Caldwell's name in connection with it.\n\n**CH'UN KUNHEE**,-(Lot 204, house 299,)-Called and examined. I have lived in this house two years. I rented it from Lai Sze-kai of the Tai Cheong shop. I never paid any rent to Mr Caldwell.\n\n[The Commissioners at the request of Mr May proceeded to examine two witnesses on reference to charge \"4 in the second branch of the inquiry. Their evidence will be found printed with the rest of the evidence on the same charge.]\n\nAdjourned to 1 P.M. on the 3d.\n\n## FIFTH DAY,\nThursday, 3d June, 1858. Present,-All the Members.\n\n**GEORGE COOPER TURNER**,-Called and examined. I am a Solicitor in this colony. In December last I was, and still am, Solicitor to the Attorney General. Upon reference to document (M) I can state that, on the 3d January, 1857, I, as Solicitor for the Attorney General, obtained a transfer into his name in the land office, of lots 475, 476, 477, 478, 480, 483, 484, 485, and 507. These lots had been purchased by him from Mr Caldwell. Mr Anstey was very desirous in the latter end of December last, of selling these lots, and I applied to Mr Caldwell to point out where... I think at that time Mr Caldwell said, that he had a friend who was very anxious to buy one of these lots. When I replied, that I did not think it likely that the Attorney General would sell any one particular lot, as he wanted to get rid of the whole together. I made some enquiry as to the lot Mr Caldwell's friend wished to buy, and called on him afterwards to tell him, that the Attorney General would not sell any one lot; the purchaser, if he bought, must take the whole. The lot Mr Caldwell wished to buy was one near the Kulan obelisk; the others are in the neighbourhood of East Point. The whole were afterwards sold to Mr Strachan.\n\nI have collected rents for Mr Caldwell for 11 houses besides. They are not sold I know of my own knowledge that these houses belonged to a sister of Mrs Caldwell, whose name I do not know Chun Atsoo; I know they are the property of Mrs Caldwell's sister, because Mrs Caldwell told me so, and at one time offered to let them to me. Mrs Caldwell managed the affairs of this property. The rents of these 11 houses are paid to Mrs Caldwell, and have always been since I collected them. I collected rent on any other lots for Mrs Caldwell. In the month of February last, I spoke to Mr Caldwell concerning the payment of ground rent on Lum Ateen's property. Lum Ateen was going home he told me to pay the ground rents for him; I said, that I did not know what amount. I had to pay; Lum Ateen told me, I might go to my old master-Mr Caldwell-about it. I went to Mr Caldwell in the month of February, and asked him to give me a note for me to go and pay ground rents. Mr Caldwell told me that he himself was going to pay ground rents, and would wait till Lum Ateen's return, and hand the receipts over to him. He told me that the receipts were at the office; he would get them by and by. I know a Boarding House keeper in Hollywood Road called Tomas. I let him the house in which he lives. I saw him yesterday morning. I said to him, and all the Chinese tenants, \"Don't be afraid; if any inquiry be made, you may say that the houses belong to my mistress [Mrs Caldwell].\"\n\nCross-examined,-Mr Caldwell did not, at the time of the conversation with him, mention the name of the friend; nor do I know for whom the lot was wanted.\n\n**LAI SZE KAI**,-Called and examined. I was Comprador to Mr Caldwell. I ceased to be Comprador from the time Mr Caldwell ceased to be master of the `Eaglet`, about two years ago. Since then I have been partner with Low Ateem in a shop, and now myself keep a shop which is in Stanley Street. When I was Comprador to Mr Caldwell I went with the steamer; I also collected rents. I have had charge of four houses, but I do not know the numbers of the ground lots on which they stand. [The lot referred to is 197.] The present occupants are Lee Koon-tai, Ngow Poo, Chew Angee, Ch'o Ngu, Akwun, who keeps a Chair shop, and Yew Aon-there are eight tenants altogether. I received rents for Mr Caldwell until I went on board the steamer as Comprador, after which I believe Mr Caldwell's cook was collector. After I left the steamer I again collected rents for Mr Caldwell, and continued to do so up to the middle of December last, when the houses were sold to Lum Ateen, after that time I collected them for Lum Ateen as some of them still owed rent.\n\nI delivered to Mr Caldwell the rents as I collected them. When I was collector, for Mr Caldwell, the rents amounted to about $49 a month. The previous evening I went to collect the rents. I was not going to let the houses to them. One of the tenants came to me next morning, and so I went to all. They said some constables had been making inquiry as to the names and occupations of the tenants, and that this was their reason for being frightened.\n\nCross-examined,-The amount of rent due upon the four houses when they were transferred to Lum Ateen in December, was about $70; there is none of this due now. I was in Gaol about the 4th moon of last year, about a debt of my partner. I was 6 or 7 days in Gaol. I have never been in Gaol on a criminal charge. I do not know Chew Alai-nor have I heard the name; neither do I know Chun Atsoo. I had an interview with Mrs Caldwell's sister at Macao, about 4 years ago; I do not know her name. I do not know if she has a sister living in Hongkong. Six of the eleven houses are near the Joss-house in Hollywood Road, and the other are in Queen's Road West. It was after I left the steamer in July, 1856, that Mrs Caldwell offered to let me the houses. I have known Lum Ateen 3 years.\n\n| Name | House No. | Lot No. | Remarks |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Tomas Bernardo Ribeiro | 300 | 204 | Boarding House keeper |\n| Leong Chewkwong | 301 | 204 | Paid rent to Lai Sze-kai |\n| Ch'un Kunhee | 299 | 204 | Rented from Lai Sze-kai |\n| Fong Weikai | 411 | 250 | Took house from Yee Wo |\n| Wong Aoon | - | - | Took house from Yee Wo |\n| Ho Achoong | - | - | Paid rent to Yee Wo Fook |",

I recollect some three or four years ago having a con- versation with Mr Caldwell, in which it was mooted between us, that an arrangement by which he would be Superintendent of Police, and I Registrar General, would be very pleasant. I spoke to Mr Mercer about it. There would have been no net pecuniary benefit to me. I do not know what Mr Caldwell's salary is; my salary is £575, horse and quarters. I have since my family went to England, I may have dined 3 times with them on Christmas days—but not more than 3 times. I did all in my power to turn the brothel-keepers out, but was unsuccessful by reason of the then defective state of the law in that respect. I did not in any way ask additional powers from the Executive, but I received none. This matter was inquired into by the Government at the time, and they expressed their satisfaction with my conduct. I believe, but do not know, that Mr Caldwell resigned his appointment in 1855, because the Government refused to increase his salary; I know he applied for an increase, but on reconsideration I think he left the service because he purchased the Eaglet.\n\nBy inherent character I mean the making use of position and power to exact services rendered. The inquiries I made, and suggestions and advice I have given, were not prompted by any private motives, but from the desire for the public good—morality was not the subject of my thoughts. I remember in 1851 giving Mr Strachan information, which induced him to write an article in his paper regarding Mr Caldwell's informant, in reference to an attack on the steamer Hongkong. I know that the statement in the article was proved to be untrue. Mr Caldwell wrote a letter to the China Mail on the subject, and I reported that circumstance to the Governor. The result was a written apology from Mr Caldwell to me, relative to his conduct.\n\nCross-examined.—I have been on terms of acquaintance, but not intimacy, with Mrs Caldwell, since she resided at the Police Station—for about six years back. I went to their house on the occasion of their giving parties, between half-a-dozen times otherwise. Within the last six years, I may have dined with them on Christmas days—but not more than 3 times. I owned houses which were occupied as brothels to my knowledge, but not with my consent. I did not believe she was in any way connected with the business of a brothel, but only an inmate of one. Her manners and demeanour, and the management of her household, were always marked by strict propriety of conduct, and were those of a gentlewoman.\n\nFREDERICK WOODS, Recalled.\n\nReferring to my answer when previously examined, as to whether I had bought land from Mr Caldwell in Taipingshan, I have to state, that I did not purchase land of him, but that I did purchase at auction lots 206, 263, and 264, which were, I believe, Mr Caldwell's property in November last year. The part which I stated as mortgaged remains on the security of deeds. I have no anxiety about not being paid, and have no reason for supposing I shan't be paid.\n\nCross-examined.—I believe that Assow and Lum Ateen have it at home, and can produce it. I thought Ma-chow Wong was the informant; and this was one of the two grounds for believing that there was a brothel on lot 206, is the fact that every house in Taipingshan is more or less a brothel. I remember Mr Caldwell spoke to me of the purchase. It was within a fortnight after the Western market sale in November last that I resold one of the lots to a Chinaman through Mr Caldwell. I have sold more land this year to Mr Caldwell, or through him as agent. I told Mr May that the shops formerly belonged to Mr Caldwell. Mr May's question was, “Are these houses Mr Caldwell's;\" I said \"Yes,\" and he then went away. When I said this to Mr May, I did not recollect that Ateen had come for the rents. Lum Ateen gave me the receipt, and he is the landlord; Lum Ateen came to my house for the rent. About April or May 1857, Mr Caldwell was going to sell all his houses; and I went to him and asked him to sell me one of them, and he told me that he would only sell them all together. Mr Caldwell never wanted to buy from me.\n\nRe-examined. I had a section of lot 209 which I bought at Public Auction in the latter part of last year. At the time I bought it, it was in the name of Sheik Moosdeen. The section was sold at Public Auction, about a fortnight after the fire, and the transfer was made within a fortnight after that time; it was sold to Achong, the P. & O. comprador. I never heard Mr Caldwell's name in the matter.\n\nLEUNG ATAI.—Called and examined.\n\nI am aware that a relation of mine has lately wished to sell to Mrs Caldwell two shops, numbered, I think, 381 and 332. They were entrusted to me for sale. I first went to Mr May, who could not give me the price I asked. I saw Mr May himself; I do not know a woman called Aoi. Mr May only offered $400 and odd, and I asked upwards of $500. Afterwards I went to Sze-kai's shop; Sze-kai asked me where I had been; I said that I had been to Mr May's about the sale of my relation's houses. Sze-kai and I went to some negotiation, and Sze-kai dealt personally with him, but I was not present. I know that Sze-kai has bought the houses, because I asked my relation when Mr May requested me, and my relation told me they had been sold to Sze-kai's mistress, who is Mrs Caldwell, for $500, of which $400 had been paid, and the remainder was to be paid when the ground lease was transferred. This was about ten days ago.\n\nCross-examined, I went to the Central Police Station to Mr May; I was never offered $420 or any other sum by a Chinese woman in European clothes or any other female for the houses. When Mr May saw the houses, he said they were old and broken down, and not worth so much. I do not know whether Mr May wanted to buy the houses for himself, or as agent for anyone. My relation is called Tong Achewy and lived a little way below the Police Station.\n\nMARIA.—Called and examined.\n\nAdjourned till Noon, 9th June.\n\nSEVENTH DAY.\n\nWednesday, 9th June, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon. Present,—All the Members.\n\nOn the termination of the proceedings on the 7th instant, the Hon'ble the Attorney General handed in a letter of protest, against the manner of taking the evidence of the Chinese, as being wholly favourable to Mr Caldwell.\n\nFrom this opinion of the Honorable the Attorney General the Commission entirely dissent.\n\n[Mak Afook's account books of rents received produced.]\n\nJ. MONGAN, Assistant Chinese Secretary, Called and examined.\n\nThere is no entry in either of these books from which it may appear upon whose account the rents have been collected.\n\nMAK AFOOK,—Called and examined.\n\nThe rents of which there are entries in this book are in respect of the 22 houses, and of one of the other three.\n\nLUM ATEEN,—Recalled.\n\n[Produces five documents in Chinese, being copies of ground leases and mesne assignments, and also the receipt of the Colonial Treasurer for £2.2.5 received on the 26th February 1858, from Mr Caldwell, on account of Chew Alai, in respect of lots 238 C, 240, and 250; also, like receipt on the same date for £8.14.7 from Mr Caldwell on account of Lum Ateen, in respect of lots 179, 241 B, 241 C, 242 B, and 262, also of receipt on the 15th December 1857 by F. Woods of $1,500 from Lum Ateen, as part of purchase-money of lots 206, 263, and 264, sold to him for the sum of $3,000, with an agreement that the balance shall remain on security of the premises at interest; also, the receipts given by F. Woods to Lum Ateen for the interest on the said sum of $1,500, from the 15th December 1857 to the 31st May 1858; also, an acknowledgment by Siemssen & Co. of the receipt by them]\n\nI reside a little below Mr Strachan's house. Three doors from my house there is a house which formerly belonged to Mr Caldwell and which I heard was sold in the middle of last year. On the 19th April, I paid the ground rent to Lum Ateen. When Mr Rienecker was here I paid the ground rent to him; afterwards for about two years to Mr Caldwell; and the last six months rent to Lum Ateen. Lum Ateen came to me for the ground rent about the beginning of February last, when I said I had not the money. I am not certain that my house is Number 72 or 76. The reason I pay ground rent to Lum Ateen is, that my house is in the same lot with his, that he has more houses in the lot.",

        "content_text": "462\n\n(20)\n\nOn the 9th September 1857, of the sum of $300 for houses on lot 262 on account of Caldwell's estate; also a bill of sale in Chinese dated 16th December 1857 of three lots--238 C, 240, and 250, by Mr Caldwell to Chew Alai, for $450, and bill of sale by Mr Caldwell to Lum Ateen dated 16th December 1857, of lots 179, 241 B, 241 C, 242 B, and 262 for the sum of $2,050. The Magistrate did put questions to Mr Caldwell as well as would elicit these facts, which I intended to bring to the notice of the Governor. The facts were elicited; and also the belief of Caldwell that the woman living in the brothel had escaped therefrom into the house frequented by Mr May. On the following day a letter was received by me, being also addressed to the Attorney General and Chief Magistrate, making a violent attack upon Mr Caldwell for the insufficiency of the grounds upon which he had supposed that the woman could escape into the house already referred to, and also attacking the motives from which the statement had been made.\n\nWILLIAM THOMAS BRIDGES, Acting Colonial Secretary, Called and examined.\n\nI was Acting Colonial Secretary in the month of November. I remember the sale of the Western Market property. I attended the sale. Mr Caldwell was also present. During the progress of the sale, I saw a China boy come up and speak to Mr Caldwell, who was standing by my side at the time. Mr Caldwell turned round to me and said he had an authority or commission to bid. I asked him for which house and he pointed to one, but I do not know its number. He did bid after that, and I think I remember him signing the paper as purchaser. I think that the conversation referred to between Mr May and myself took place about three or four months ago. To the best of my belief, I was remonstrating with Mr May as to the objections he invariably made to any suggestion which originated, or which he supposed to originate, with Mr Caldwell. Then Mr May said he would have no objection to take Mr Caldwell's place, and that Mr Caldwell should take his. I do not recollect Mr May's saying anything about such arrangement benefitting Her Majesty's Government. When Ma-chow Wong was first apprehended, Mr May disavowed having any hostility toward Mr Caldwell, but not I think upon this occasion. I am certain that the remark as to Mr Caldwell's hatred towards Mr May was not made to me on that or any other occasion.\n\nI omitted to state that the woman Atai was convicted by the Magistrate.\n\nI remember an inquiry concerning a charge against Mr May of not putting down a notorious brothel. In March last, one Atai was charged before the Magistrate with keeping an unlicensed brothel out of the brothel district under the following circumstances: Having had my attention drawn by a person in no way connected with the government to the fact that certain brothels were allowed out of the district, and in particular to one in the neighbourhood of Mr Murray's house, I saw Mr May, and requested him to cause this brothel to be put down. We had some conversation on the subject, and about a week afterwards, finding that nothing had been done, I desired Mr Caldwell to do what I had requested Mr May to do. Mr Caldwell took certain steps which led to the keeper of the house being brought up before the Chief Magistrate. I had also certain reason to believe that Mr May was in the habit of frequenting a house in the immediate vicinity of this brothel, and I was determined that the fact should be elicited if possible, at the investigation before the Magistrate. I attended as a spectator, and as Mr Caldwell gave his evidence without in any way referring to Mr May or to such house, I said of the inherent character of the Chinese, I mean to apply that generally to Chinese, not to Mrs Caldwell particularly.\n\nCross-examined,-I took considerable part as a friend in the arrangement of Mr Caldwell's affairs, at the suggestion of His Excellency the Governor. I went round to the various creditors who appeared favourably disposed towards him, and the arrangement was in a great measure, I think, effected through my instrumentality. I did not undertake this professionally, only as a friend. I have no recollection of preparing documents connected with the settlement. I do not know whether that declaration was ever made, nor can I recollect ever having seen the draft; I may have drawn it myself, but have no recollection of so doing.\n\nWith reference to what Mr May said, the reason assigned by him was, that such employment of the Police would lead to their corruption. I have an impression that I have put this remark of Mr May in writing. Before the examination at the Police Court, Mr Caldwell communicated to me that Mr May's name was likely to be called in question. Mr Caldwell expressed his unwillingness to be brought into collision with Mr May, but I insisted on Mr May's conduct being brought forward, as I thought it a matter of public importance. I did not inform Mr May of the communication I had received from Mr Caldwell. Mr May could not have informed me that he was unwilling to interfere with Mr Caldwell in the carrying out of the Brothels' Ordinance, because it was part of the duty of the Police to do so. I do not remember any such occasion when I in reply to Mr May said, \"I suppose if it is my wish that you and the Police should assist in carrying out the Ordinance, it will be done.\" I am convinced no such conversation could ever have taken place.\n\nPersonally, I have not ascertained the exact relative positions of Atai's house, and the house said to have been frequented by Mr May, but I believe the one is two or three doors from the other. I do not know the houses by sight, and do not know whether they are in the same street. The Brothel Ordinance is as to part under the special Superintendence of the Superintendent of Police, and as to part under that of the Registrar General. The Registrar General has had much more to say to it than he would have had, but for the positive resistance offered by Mr May. Finding that I could not get anything done by one officer, I was obliged to resort to another. It is the sole duty of the Registrar General to license the brothels, and it is the duty of both Registrar General and Superintendent of Police to prevent any violation of the law; but it is the special duty of the Superintendent of Police and the Police force, to confine the brothels to the proper district, and take care that none exist out of it. I do not mean that this duty is expressly defined by the Ordinance, but it arises out of the general duty on the part of the Police to prevent any violation of any existing law. There are special duties assigned to the Registrar General by the Ordinance, such as Registration, licensing, receiving money, and sending women to Hospital. The only special duty assigned by the Ordinance to the Superintendent, is having charge of constables under the Ordinance, if such should be appointed.\n\nRe-examined, I heard Mr Grand Pré's evidence. I saw his letter of appointment. He was therein appointed as second in rank in the Registration Office, to have special charge of the Collection of Police Rate, and to assist when not so employed in the business of the Registration Office. I know of my own knowledge, that the houses let by Mr Grand Pré to Atsoo were not occupied by her till about or after the passing of the Brothel Ordinance. I am speaking from my recollection of a cursory reading of the letter. There was no connection between Mr Caldwell and Mr Rienaecker to my knowledge, except that they were jointly interested in the Eaglet.\n\nCHARLES MAY, Superintendent of Police,--Recalled.\n\nI know that the houses which I stated to be brothels were in fact so, from seeing prostitutes in the windows and doorways. I was Acting Assistant Magistrate from November 1856, to February 1857, and from June to November 1857. During those times, I had no opportunity of seeing the houses. At the other times, I am certain that 2 or 3 houses on lot 206 were brothels. With reference to the corner house of which I spoke, I do not know whether it has been in fact reconstructed in the manner in which Mr...\n\nOn the 9th or 10th of March last, my name had been mentioned at the Police Court, and been brought into question during the progress of the investigation of a charge brought by the Registrar General against a brothel keeper. I had not received any intimation from the Acting Colonial Secretary or from the Registrar General that my name or conduct was in any way connected with the inquiry. The reference to my name was that certain women were stated by the Registrar General to have escaped from the house of a brothel keeper, into a house in which I was said to have an interest. I positively disclaimed having any interest at all in any house in any way connected with the brothel keeper prosecuted by the Registrar General; and having examined a particular house said to be the house alluded to, I found it utterly impossible for women to have got from one house into the other. I thereupon wrote to the three Justices of the Peace who sat on the Bench at the time of the investigation, viz., the Chief Magistrate, the Attorney General, and the Acting Colonial Secretary, complaining of the untruthfulness of the charge as against the owner of the house, and begging that they would remove from the case any evidence supposed to connect one with the other. I also complained of the use made of my name wantonly, unnecessarily, and when not pertaining to the case at issue. I enclosed in that letter a report from Inspector Jarman, stating, as the result of his examination of the premises, that it was impossible women could have got from one house to the other. I got an answer from the three Justices of the Peace: two of them expressing their conviction that the alleged escape from one house to the other was incorrect, and I got a letter from the 3d Justice, the Acting Colonial Secretary, making no reference to my special...",

        "content_text": "## 464\n\n(24)\n\nhas sold this house,\" without mentioning to whom. The founded charge. Brothel 48 stands on lot 241 B, one of the lots sold by Siemssen & Co. through me to Lum Ateen. A man looked at me and walked away, without making any answer, and then we also walked away. There are two houses to the westward of this; and there are several others to the eastward. I do not know whether the house above alluded to was a brothel, but it had a ticket with large black figures 48 on a white ground. I spoke to no other person in that street.\n\nThe last witness is not the man with whom I had this conversation.\n\nJune, 1857. I sold 8 lots to Lum Ateen; they had been previously valued by Mr. Lapraik at $2,480. Lum Ateen gave $2,500. My instructions to Mr. Stace as to the amount of purchase-money being $2,150 for the five lots, was a simple error of mine in making the calculations when giving him the instructions; it should have been $2,050. At the time I sold the lots by private contract to Lum Ateen, and by auction to Mr. Woods, there were no brothels in either of the houses on those lots; there had been before but not at the time I purchased them in 1854.\n\nLum Ateen, at the time he purchased the ten houses from me for $2,200, wished to set off that amount against his claim on my estate—which was refused. At that time the leases of all those lots were in the hands of Chinese creditors, who had mortgages on them. I explained to Lum Ateen that until the dividends on my estate were paid, I could not give him up the leases. An arrangement was therefore made between us, that the completion of the transfer should be delayed for six months, the rent to be received by me in the meantime, and that I should pay him in lieu thereof $50 a-month, which arrangement was carried out and the bill of sale signed by me and delivered to him on the expiration of the six months—the 15th December, 1857. I gave them into his hands on that day. A day or two afterwards, I went to Mr. Stace and gave him instructions regarding the transfer, and gave him all the leases I had. There was no lease for lot 240; it was sold by the bailiff of the Supreme Court. From this time it never entered my head to speak to Mr. Stace on the subject. He told me on two occasions it would be necessary to get the bills of sale. The first time I forgot it, and did nothing. The second time I wrote to Lum Ateen at Macao before I heard of these charges, and told him to come over with them so that the transfer might be completed.\n\nThere was no private arrangement of any kind between Lum Ateen and myself that I should retain any direct or indirect interest in this property. I gave up the whole of my property for the benefit of my creditors. The dividend was 474 per cent, and I submit that it is not probable that had I retained any part of my estate, my Chinese creditors to whom I owed $12,000, or even Europeans, would voluntarily have accepted so small a dividend.\n\nCross-examined,—Mr. May did not tell me the object of his visit to Taipingshan, nor why he asked the question.\n\nRe-examined, The man with whom we spoke at brothel 48 was inside when we went and came out to us when we called. I did not see him until I called out \"to whom does this house belong,\" he then came out and stood at the door. Nothing was said about a range of houses with a brick front, and nothing about the fire. Two days ago, Mr. May told me to try and find the man I had spoken to. On the first occasion that I went for him, an old woman told me that he had come up to the Government Offices, and on the second occasion a girl told me that he had gone to Canton.\n\nWONG ASHUN,-Called and examined.\n\nCHARLES MAY,-Recalled.\n\nI have more evidence to give the Commission in this particular branch of the inquiry, but decline to do so. I consider that the Commission have asked questions of witnesses touching my private reputation, in no way pertinent to the inquiry, and not likely to tend to the slightest public good. I consider, further, that as the Commission has withheld witnesses from stating subjects as matters of repute, much which might have been elicited cannot by any possibility come otherwise before them. I will cite, for instance, the last witness Wong Ashun, who, when asked a question touching Shaplok and her relationship with Mrs. Caldwell, said, “I do not know; some people say so.\"\n\nAdjourned till to-morrow.\n\n## NINTH DAY\n\nSaturday, 12th June, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members.\n\nNG MUN SOW,-Called and examined.\n\nI am Interpreter at the Police Court. I have known a female in this colony called Shaplok about three or four years. She has no other name to my knowledge. I think she is married; she now lives in Queen's Road West. I last saw her about two months ago. She was once a keeper of a brothel in Hillier Street. I cannot say when she ceased keeping a brothel, nor do I know whether she keeps one now.\n\nI have known Mrs. Caldwell before Mr. Mitchell; the case was made upon the information of a prisoner charged with receiving stolen property. This was also dismissed. The charge was made upon the information of a prisoner who was convicted of unlawful possession of the property. The Magistrate made no remarks upon the case when he discharged me. I was formerly employed at Dr. Legge's mission house. I have never been discharged by him; but was suspended from Church fellowship. I decline to state for what reason I was suspended. Since I became Interpreter at the Chief Magistrate's Office, I have often interpreted before Mr. Mitchell and have been also examined as a witness by him.\n\nShaplok is an adopted sister of Mrs. Caldwell, and the following are the grounds for knowing. Before Mrs. Caldwell's conviction, she frequently came to my house to visit my wife. Shaplok also had a son who had been a pupil of mine for two years. Mrs. Caldwell told me she had a nephew and that she wanted him to go to school—his name was Akow, and he was the son of Shaplok. By the term \"adopted sister\" I mean that Mrs. Caldwell when a child was adopted by the mother of Shaplok. By Chinese usage, such adoption makes Mrs. Caldwell the adopted sister of Shaplok. There are two senses in which we use the word adopted; the sense in which I use it here means that the adopted child becomes the brother or sister of the real child. There is another expression \"pocket children\"—which applies to those who are purchased. I know of this adoption by having been told of it by Mrs. Caldwell and Akow. I do not know whether Mrs. Caldwell has another sister, and do not know the name Chun Atsoo. I know nothing of my own knowledge of Mrs. Caldwell's history previous to my acquaintance with her five or six years ago.\n\nALEXANDRE GRAND-PRE, Recalled.\n\nOn having my attention drawn to the letter of 2d December last from the Acting Colonial Secretary to the Superintendent of Police, I perceive that I am attached to the Registrar General's department second in rank and subordinate to the Registrar General, and that I and my staff are expected to co-operate generally in the service of the department when not employed in the discharge of our peculiar duties; but I desire to explain to the Commission that I have never been upon any occasion called upon by the Registrar General to assist or take part in the peculiar duties of his Office, nor have I ever done so. My time has been fully occupied in the discharge of my own duties.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL,-Called and examined as to charges 2, 5, 14, 15, 16, and 17.\n\nI know nothing of charges 2, 5, 14, 15, and 17.\n\nCross-examined,—I have personally visited Shaplok's brothel about eighteen months or two years ago. It was opposite the Taicheong hong. (Corrects himself.) I never was told by Mrs. Caldwell that she was the adopted daughter of Shaplok's mother. Mangtai told me so. Mrs. Caldwell only told me that Shaplok was her sister. The term used by her for sister might mean a sister by blood or by usage. Mangtai is a brother of Shaplok; according to his own explanation, he is an adopted son of Shaplok's mother. There is a custom amongst Chinese girls whereby they become sworn sisters of each other. There are sworn brothers also. The general object is to bind themselves together for mutual support and assistance. The children of sworn sisters have no relationship amongst each other.\n\nI remember having a conversation with Lyons at the Central Station about ten days ago when Aping the silversmith was brought in to Mr. May's private room by Lyons. Mr. May asked him what he had got to say; Aping asked me \"What for.\" I then directed his attention to Mr. May. I never told him, nor was Lyons said to him, \"did you not tell me that you knew something about Mr. Caldwell?\"—he said that he did not know anything except from hearsay; he did not say what he had heard. I was once charged with perjury about a month or two before I joined the Chief Magistrate's Office; before Mr. Mitchell the Assistant Magistrate. The Magistrate did not, to the best of my belief, say that he had no doubt of my guilt, but that from the conflicting evidence, he was compelled to discharge me. I will not say so positively.\n\nAbout the latter end of February last, my old Comprador Sze-kai came to me and said that he wanted to pay the ground rent for Lum Ateen's lots as he had requested him to do so. He asked how much it was and requested me to give him a note so that he might take the money to the Treasury. This reminded me that I had not paid the ground rent for Chun Atsoo's lots. I said, “the ground rent is about $50, and as I shall go up to-day to...",

INGLIS,--Recalled.\n\n(28)\n\nThe brothel of which I spoke to the Commission as the one in which I saw Mrs Caldwell, was situate in Taipingshan. I am not sure whether the whole of the houses had been removed from the Choong Wan at this time, but I am quite clear as to the situation of this house. I went to this brothel purposely to see the intended Mrs Caldwell, and this was the first occasion on which I did see her. I do not know anything about a formal marriage according to Chinese usage between this girl and Mr Caldwell. The first time I knew of Mrs Caldwell living with Mr Caldwell, Mr Caldwell resided at the Gaol. This may have been two or three weeks, or two or three months from the time I saw her at the brothel. I do not recollect now in what other place Mr and Mrs Caldwell resided after they left the Gaol, and before they went to the bungalow called \"Retreat.\" I do not recollect Mrs Caldwell's mother.\n\nwas watched by another interpreter; and further, that I would not now believe him on his oath.\n\nCross-examined,--On the 10th June instant, he was charged before me with receiving goods, which had been stolen about the 30th May, and was discharged because the prosecutor was a convicted felon, a notoriously bad character, and bore the marks of former floggings. The principal witness also failed to appear. I allowed the prosecutor's fellow-convict to go out with a Policeman, to find the man who the prosecutor said had gone with him to Assow's house—but he could not find him.\n\n### D. R. CALDWELL\n\nCross-examined,--I continued to pay the $50 a-month to Lum Ateen, up to the last day of the tenth Chinese month [14th December, 1857]. He himself has since then received the rent. I do not know what has become of the mesne assignments of the lots sold to Lum Ateen. I may have them still, but do not know. They were in Chinese. There was no deed or conveyance by which I surrendered my property in 1857 for the benefit of my creditors; it was done in a private manner, and I refer the commission to Siemssen & Co.'s letter. The title deeds of the property sold to pay my debts were not given up to Siemssen & Co., because they were mortgaged to Chinese creditors. The deeds relating to the lots sold to Woods, except lot 263, were also mortgaged, but were given up to the purchaser, upon Siemssen & Co.'s guarantee that the mortgagee would receive his share of the purchase money.\n\nCross-examined,--The time of my seeing Mrs Caldwell must certainly have been in 1844. I joined the Police Department in March 1844, and it was shortly after this that I saw her. I do not recollect Mrs Caldwell's being confined. Mrs Caldwell only lived in the Gaol a fortnight or three weeks. She then left because Awoon, (a Chinese woman who had previously lived with Mr Caldwell,) returned. It was not my impression that Mrs Caldwell was married to Mr Caldwell according to Chinese usage, because it is not customary in such cases; there was nothing whatever in her manner to denote that she was married; she was dressed as a Chinese.\n\nI recollect accompanying Mr and Mrs Caldwell to a picnic, which was about, but certainly after, the time of that visit. Mrs Caldwell, so far as I can recollect, was never in my house for at least a year-and-a-half after this time. I recollect her having been in my house in the Old Bailey, after my return from Check-chu.\n\n### WILLIAM HENRY MITCHELL,--Called and examined.\n\nI am Assistant Magistrate of Police. I knew Assow, the Police Court Interpreter, before he joined the Chief Magistrate's Office. I think he joined the office either at the end of 1855, or beginning of 1856, but am not certain as to the time. I recollect his being charged with perjury before me, in June 1855. It arose out of a case in which he had been to a certain extent a party concerned. I recollect discharging the case on the grounds of conflicting evidence, but was not satisfied that he had exculpated himself from the charge, and I believe I said I should not in future believe him on his oath. I think I could not have said I should not allow him to interpret for me, because he was not at that time attached to the office. I wish also to state to the Commission, that I have never since allowed him to interpret for me in important cases, when I could avoid it, unless when he was required to do so by the proceedings.\n\n### D. R. CALDWELL (Continued)\n\nI sold all my landed property under Siemssen & Co.'s directions—for account of the estate, and the purchase money was paid over to Siemssen & Co. I could never have mortgaged any of these lots twice over, because I had not possession of the leases. I cannot remember the numbers of the lots mortgaged, but the names of the mortgagees are Wong Cheeyun, Lum Ateen, and Low Ashü. I do not know in what way Mrs Caldwell may be speculating beyond what she tells me. Supposing she wished to deceive me, it is possible she might speculate in brothel property. She has invested money of her sister's in houses. I can state on my honour, that she has, to my knowledge, no connection nor interest of any kind, in any brothel property, or any houses to which prostitutes resort.\n\nI never heard or was aware of any rumours of Mrs Caldwell's coming from a brothel, and no one would have dared to tell me so.\n\nI was never in the house in which my wife lived up to the time of my marriage. I am quite certain that this house was not a brothel, because at that time I knew most of the brothels here, and that was not one. It was also to be a family house. In April and May 1844, I lived in the Gaol. When I speak of my wife living with me, I mean that she lived in a private house which I kept for her; she did not live in the Gaol with me.\n\nI recollect Boyle who was Deputy Inspector of Police, and formerly master of the lorcha Centaur. I cannot recollect having ever had a contest in the street with Inspector Boyle concerning Mrs Caldwell.\n\nI once brought up a Chinaman before the Police Court, for insulting Mrs Caldwell in the street.\n\nI generally know to within $10 what money Mrs Caldwell has of mine, as I have nothing but my monthly salary; but I do not know what she has of her sister's. I still pay $70 a-month regularly to Siemssen & Co. on account of Mr Riensecker, which leaves me $260 a-month.\n\n### WONG APING,--Called and examined.\n\nor 6th moon of 6th year of Hien-fung, [about June or July 1856]. During the time I have been Tepo she has not lived in Hillier Street. I do not know of her having kept a brothel. While she was living in Lee Kip-taï's house, I know that she did not keep a brothel.\n\n### YIP AWONG,--Called and examined.\n\nI am collector of rents of the row of houses opposite the Taicheong Hong in Hillier Street; and collect them for Lee Kip-tai. I know a female called Shaplok. I have collected the rents since 1852. Shaplok occupied one of these houses from 1852 to 1854. She has not occupied it since 1854. She occupied it as a family residence, and I am quite certain not as a brothel. I do not know where she removed to in 1854.\n\n### SOONG AHING,--Called and examined.\n\nI am a Rope-maker, and reside opposite the Circular Buildings, Queen's Road West. I know a Chinese female called Shaplok, and have known her a long time. She lives in my house, and has done so since the beginning of the 7th moon of the 6th year of Hien-fung [about July, 1856]. She is married; her husband has gone to Shanghae. She has no occupation, and is supported by her husband. She has never since she lived in my house kept a brothel, or used the rooms she occupies as such. I do not know whether she has ever kept a brothel. Before she came to my house she lived in Wellington Street, in Lee Kip-tai's house; but I do not know how long she lived there. She removed to my house because Lee Kip-tai's house was pulled down.\n\nCross-examined,--Lee Kip-tai was engaged in the Tientsin trade. The house Shaplok lived in was nearly opposite the Old Central Police Station. Shaplok went to Canton about the middle of April last, not the middle of May. I do not know if she is in any way connected with Mr Caldwell.\n\n### MARY AYOW CALDWELL,--Called and examined.\n\nMy maiden name was Chun Ayow. I am the wife of Mr Caldwell. I came to this colony in the 22d year of Taoukwang-1842. I was then a child, and came with my mother to visit some relations. My mother was called by others Tuk-fook-p'o. I have one elder sister named Chun Atsoo, whose residence is in Macao. She has been here three times on a visit. Atsoo is my sister by blood. I know Shaplok, and saw her mother when a child. Shaplok's mother and mine were sworn sisters. This does not, according to Chinese usage, make me and Shaplok sisters. There is no other connection between myself and Shaplok. According to Chinese usage, even good friends call themselves brothers and sisters.\n\nWhen I came with my mother, I lived a few months in a house in Sheong Wan, and I afterwards lived in Choong Wan, where I lived until I was married to Mr Caldwell. My mother and Shaplok lived in that house, and another person called Ayee. Mangtai did not live with them. He is the god-son of my mother; as my mother had no son, a relation gave her his son, whom my mother adopted. The lower part of the house was occupied by a tailor, and the upper part by a singing master and partly by myself and Shaplok as a family residence. From the time I lived in the house, till I left it as Mr Caldwell's wife, it was never a brothel. I was first married after the Chinese fashion to Mr Caldwell, in the end of the 23d year of Taoukwang-1843; all the ceremonies necessary according to Chinese usage to constitute a valid marriage, were adopted on that occasion. The ceremony was performed in a house belonging to Achow, in which I afterwards resided, and took place before I went to live with Mr Caldwell. I considered myself in all respects the wife of Mr Caldwell.\n\n### FOONG AFU, Tepo of Sheong Wan [Victoria west],—Called and examined.\n\nI know Mr Inglis, the Governor of the Gaol, and first saw him in the beginning of the 24th year of Taoukwang-1844, three or four months after my marriage with Mr Caldwell. I remember upon that occasion we went on a picnic party to Chek-chu. I am quite certain that I never saw Mr Inglis before. Mr Inglis never came to the house in which I resided before my marriage; no foreigner was allowed to enter it. Hillier Street is in my district. Before I was Tepo, I was Sergeant of Police. I have been Tepo since the 8th month of the 6th year Hien-fung, [September 1856]. I have known Shaplok four years. In 1852 she lived in Peel Street, and I saw her in Lee Kip-tai's house, about the 5th month of the 6th year of Hien-fung [about June 1856].",

        "content_text": "468 \n\n(32) \n\nThe omitted passages refer to the place of residence of the Chinese. I mention this only as an instance, but I could give many more, and Mr May is aware of three which were the subject of a conversation between us yesterday. When stated, they will show that since this inquiry began, Mrs Caldwell has been sending round to every person from whom she can recollect to have received what they call presents, and desiring them, if called upon, to deny having given such presents, for that the charges are false. \n\nMr May and the Chief Magistrate, who were the Committing Justices, will be able to inform the Commission who procured bail for Ma-chow Wong, and whether the Chief Magistrate warned Mr Caldwell that it would be more decent for him to stay away from the inquiry upon his sitting on the bench, and offering suggestions favourable to the culprit. It came out in evidence before the Chief Magistrate, while I was present, that the witnesses in one of the cases were threatened with personal violence by Ma-chow Wong's friends and I think either then or upon a previous day, as much as $1,000 was offered to buy off one or more of the Crown witnesses. The Chief Magistrate himself, and afterwards I, by his permission, addressed the Crown witnesses, and the Chinese audience through an Interpreter, and we dared them, at least I did, to execute their threats - telling them what would be the consequence to themselves if they attempted it. This was my last appearance in any Court before proceeding the following week to India on sick leave. Captain Twiss and Mr Hannen, who were with me, can confirm what took place in Court that day. \n\nIt was on that occasion that, as stated in my letter, some of the business accounts of the pirate's hong were produced and read. I distinctly remember several entries of monies entered to Samkwei's credit. The word \"Samkwei\" was the first word I heard upon entering the Court. \n\nAs to the bail having been but a month before in prison for debt - the man himself, Szekai, has proved that - and also that he was or had been Mr Caldwell's servant. \n\nThat Mr Caldwell was guilty of the denial referred to in my letter, is, I apprehend, admitted; it certainly is proved; whether it is audacious is a matter of inference, and I adhere to the expression. I heard His Excellency state on the 10th ultimo, as recorded in my letter of the 13th, that the reason why Ma-chow Wong was not pardoned was that his accounts and papers were ascertained to contain such evidence of the man's systematic guilt, as to make his pardon impossible. Mr Caldwell having denied that they contained any evidence of guilt, it follows that Mr May's two memoranda, and Mr Wade's certificate were the materials which His Excellency had before him, and on which he formed his judgment. I know that those memoranda were in existence within a week before. Mr Wade proceeded with Lord Elgin to the North. \n\nMr Wade and I had a long conversation about them and their contents about that time, and he told me there was no doubt that the accounts and papers contained the evidence of the convict's guilt. He further stated, \"By the by, I have finished my certificate upon the whole of those papers,\" and he added either that he had sent them in, or that he would send them in without delay. \n\nI cannot understand how, after my repeated and solemn references to the danger of employing Mr Caldwell in matters of State or Police - of which my official correspondence with the Executive Government subsequently to the proceedings in Executive Council, furnish some of the instances - His Excellency or any member of his government would venture upon the destruction of a single portion, much less the whole, of what I must pronounce to be the damning proofs of his guilt. I submit to the Commission, that this spoliation of evidence compels them to act upon the universal principle of all jurisprudence, \"Contra spoliatorem, omnia presumuntur.\" I make these observations, because I am informed that shortly before, or shortly after, the ventilation of the subject-matter of the present inquiry, Mr Mongan having consulted the Executive Government through one of its officers as to what was to be done with the Ma-chow Wong papers still in his hands, was directed to destroy them. Not a syllable of this transpired, until subsequent to Mr May's examination before the Commission in this case. \n\nI wish to add, if Mr May be asked he will disclose a still more flagrant attempt to leave Ma-chow Wong at liberty to escape, to which Mr Caldwell's present assistant, Mr Grand-Pré, was party. I refer to the fact of Ma-chow Wong having been allowed by Mr Grand-Pré to remain an entire night, more than 12 hours, at entire liberty upon his personal parole. This was immediately before he was called upon to find bail. \n\nAs to the proceedings in Executive Council, Mr Dixson has proved, Mr Lane and Mr May will prove, what took place there. Their correspondence with Mr Dixson, printer, in the **China Mail** of October last, will show the extraordinary method taken by His Excellency in dealing with the case, and which had the effect of putting at least one witness upon his trial on that occasion. I presume those papers are on record in the Colonial Secretary's office; if not the Newspaper will speak for itself. \n\nwho was sent for by the Commission on that occasion, and all that he told me was, that they had disappeared, and no one knew what had become of them. It was next suggested that they were probably in the hands of Mr Wade. I then volunteered my evidence to the Commission, which showed that that was impossible; and now at the last moment it is suggested they have been burned. \n\nEar-witnesses have assured me, that Mr Caldwell did admit at the trial at the Supreme Court his character of partner in a Lorcha with Ma-chow Wong and that his share in it was still undisposed of. I was then in India, but I believe the Commission have in evidence before them a letter from Mr Caldwell to the same effect. The entries that appeared in the destroyed documents, will be proved by those who read or prepared them. My charge against Mr Caldwell with respect to them, was not that the entries were true, but that he has always acted as if they were true, and although they were brought to his knowledge, continued to the last steadily and zealously to befriend the pirate, whose hand had recorded them, until it was mentioned by Mr May, in his letter on the occasion referred to.\n\nHis Excellency has not inserted amongst what he calls my charges, the application made by Mr Caldwell at the Police office for the residue of the pirate's books and papers mentioned in my letter of the 13th. That application having been made as a friend of the convict, was of necessity acceded to.\n\nAppendix A to my letter of the 13th May, is a document prepared from Chinese information with a view to the proceedings against Ma-chow Wong, and not with a view to any proceedings against Mr Caldwell. Mr May lent it to me for my perusal, and I thought it so important, that I copied it. It throws much light upon a great deal of my evidence of to-day. \n\nIn contrast with the course taken in the case of supposed pirates, I may mention another circumstance which occurred about the same time, and I think on the same day. A respectable Chinese trader, so it was represented to me by Mr Cooper Turner, his attorney, had arrived in the Colony with a quantity of merchandize. Before he could dispose of it he was seized by Mr Caldwell and thrown into prison under the deportation ordinance, as a suspected or dangerous character, and upon no other charge. Mr Cooper Turner applied to me for the liberation of the man upon heavy bail, not believing there was any opposition to it. I said, that when the application was made in form, I would grant it; it was made in form, and Mr Caldwell opposed it. He said, he believed that the man was a very bad character, and had been guilty of some offence which he did not specify; he was not prepared with any witnesses, but would have them in a few days. He said he could not give me an inkling into the case, for if he did, it would frustrate a great plan he had in view, for the detection and seizure of a great number of other offenders. I very reluctantly consented that the application for bail should stand over for a few days, when Mr Caldwell undertook to be prepared. He did not tell me that he had any intention to cause the man to be deported, or I should have liberated him on bail; but the **Phebe Dunbar**, which was then taking on board her Emigrants for deportation to Hainan, sailed in two or three days afterwards, having, as I was afterwards to my great indignation informed, the merchant on board.\n\nThe deportation ordinance was not intended to apply to any case where security for the good character of the suspected person was offered. The books - particularly the Visiting Justices book - of the Gaol, for the years 1857-8, contain other, and perhaps more glaring, proofs of the capricious and improper manner in which Mr Caldwell, as a Justice of the Peace, exercises his power of commitment. I suggest that the Commission send for those books. I refer particularly to a minute in the Visiting Justices' book during this year, signed by a member of this Commission (Mr Lyall) and myself.\n\nI therefore gave credit to Mr Caldwell's evidence of reputation in favour of the accused, and there was only evidence of the Police to reputation of the opposite kind. I discharged every one of those persons on his application, ordering at the same time their boats to be restored. I was sitting in my rota as Justice of the Peace, according to a then recently gazetted arrangement. The police brought them up, and charged them with being notorious pirates. The deportation ordinance was then in full vigour, and my thought was to send them before His Excellency in Executive Council for deportation. But Mr Caldwell came before me, and upon oath declared them to be peaceful traders, and not pirates nor reputed pirates. This was in January, 1857, I think. At all events I had not then formed more than a very unpleasant suspicion of Mr Caldwell as stated in my first examination.\n\nI therefore repeat what I said in my letter of the 13th on this subject, with what I have added there, viz., that within the last few weeks I had been informed by Mr May they were in fact pirates, and that the circumstances were such as to make it impossible for Mr Caldwell not to know of the fact. I am not certain whether I made any record of this case at the time, but if I did it will be found amongst the papers at the Police Court.\n\n## CHARLES MAY, Superintendent of Police, -- Called and examined.\n\nThe preliminary remarks regarding my intimacy with Mr Caldwell, which I made on my previous examination, apply to this branch of the inquiry also. The conversations I had with Mr Caldwell on the subject of what he considered the injustice of making him responsible at the time of the conversation, I had banished it from my recollection.",

        "content_text": "469 \n\n(34) \n\nactually missing, I had got information that they were being bought off. I was asked to interfere, but found I was powerless. I can produce witnesses to show the connection between Ma-chow Wong and Po Pak Shing's boat and family, and a witness to prove that the witnesses for the prosecution were bribed not to appear; I can also produce witnesses to show that Po Pak Shing is a notorious pirate, and I think the Commission can get evidence as to Shan-tung Wei's connection with Ma-chow Wong.\n\nWith reference to charge No. 3, I have to state that Mr. Caldwell made me acquainted with circumstances which I otherwise should not have known, viz: that he, Mr. Caldwell, had led a very wild life when at Singapore, that he was an outcast from his family there, and that he had fled from Singapore to China; that before entering into the Government service, he had had command of a boat manned by Chinese, employed in smuggling opium to Whampoa or Canton; that he earned money freely, and spent it as freely amongst the women at Canton, so much so that he acquired from them the name of Shang-kwei, which he told me meant \"teazing devil.\" The feeling held against him by Mr. Hillier was caused, as he imagined, by his having had connection with several Chinese women at the same time. The only other part bearing on charge No. 3 is his strict intimacy with Ma-chow Wong, from that intimacy leading him blindly into what may be assumed as a knowledge of other pirates. I wish to refer the Commission to my letter of the 20th July, 1857, written after the trial of Eli Boggs, as to the impression on my mind on this subject.\n\nAbout the 15th July 1857, when I was Acting Assistant Magistrate, I met Mr. Grand-Pré, who was Acting Superintendent of Police. He told me with an air of satisfaction, that he had a charge against Ma-chow Wong. He mentioned the incidents of the case which appeared to amount to a charge of confederation with pirates, and asked my advice. I told him that as the case appeared a good one, it was his duty to seize Ma-chow Wong's shops, and take Ma-chow Wong into custody immediately. He said he had made a diligent search for Ma-chow Wong, but could not find him. I recommended him to take personal interest in the matter, and indicated where I thought he could get information. He seemed equally anxious as I was to do all that was possible to apprehend him, and I left the case in his hands. The following morning, I learned from Inspector Jarman, that he had apprehended Ma-chow Wong, having met him at 10 o'clock that morning. I also learned from Mr. Jarman, confirmed by Mr. Grand-Pré himself, that he, the prisoner Ma-chow Wong, had been in Mr. Grand-Pré's house the preceding night, subsequent to the time he had promised me to devote all in his power to apprehend him.\n\nWith reference to charge 4, I can only speak from repute and general information.\n\nI now state, as I did in my letter of 20th July, 1857, that from my knowledge of Ma-chow Wong, for many years, he became, owing to his intimacy with Mr. Caldwell, of great power and influence in the Colony, that he exercised this power and influence especially in cases of piracy, that he became in fact almost an arbiter of the fate of those pirates who fell into the hands of the Police. He was the acknowledged head of the Sunon men or clan in this Colony, he had control over the class of fishermen who were mostly Sunon people, he payed a nominal sum for the lessee-ship of the Central Market, and he had directly under his personal control, the funds of the Sunon people, derived principally from landed property on Marine lot 16 in the Lower Bazaar. I believe from information I received, which information is contained in the letter of the 20th July, that Ma-chow Wong was in intimate connection with several well-known pirate chiefs, named Looka, Po Pak Shing, Shan-tung Wei, Tai-fai-ing, de woot, Momee-ma, and others. In January, 1857, two large and heavily-armed boats were pointed out to the Police by the then self-constituted local patriot. These boats were lying off the central part of the town, and were seized by the Police upon the information aforementioned. From what Mr. Grand-Pré told me, and from my recollection of the events at the time,—I was then Acting Assistant Magistrate,—Mr. Mercer directed Mr. Grand-Pré to refer to Mr. Caldwell as to the character of the boats. Mr. Caldwell went with Mr. Grand-Pré on board the boats, and because Mr. Caldwell positively expressed his belief from examination of the books and crew that they were reputable traders, the boats were released.\n\nFrom my recollection, I believe that the prisoners were again taken into custody upon the charge of a Chinaman, and appeared at the Police Court before the Justices sitting for the Stipendiary Magistrate. I do know positively that certain of the crew, Po Pak Shing, who was one of the first prisoners also, were apprehended on a charge made by a Portuguese, who positively identified Po Pak Shing as a pirate chief, and the others as pirates. That charge was investigated by the Chief Magistrate. Several witnesses were examined, and it appeared a prima facie case of piracy. After several remands, the witnesses for the prosecution were suddenly found to be wanting.\n\nThe prisoner, Ma-chow Wong, appeared at the Police Court on the 16th or 17th, and was admitted to bail, Mr. Caldwell appearing in the Court, and interfering in the case in the prisoner's favour. On the 18th of July, information was given to me upon oath, which led to my issuing a warrant for the apprehension of Ma-chow Wong, and search of his shops. The prisoner was apprehended and brought to the Central Police Station. On the 19th, or early on the morning of the 20th, some of these papers were examined by Tong Aku, the interpreter at the Court, in presence of Inspector Jarman, and I jotted down, in the shape of memoranda, matters as read to me by Tong Aku, which exhibited to me the bad character of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nTWELFTH DAY.\n\nFriday, 18th June, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,—All the Members.\n\nCHARLES MAY,—Recalled.\n\nSome few days before the examination, which lasted ten or a dozen days, I told the Chief Magistrate that I had some memoranda, and although not referring or relevant to the two cases before the Court, that I would place them in his hands, so that he might be acquainted with the matters therein stated. There were two cases before the Court—one taken exclusively by the Chief Magistrate, and the one which I initiated myself by the issue of the warrant, and in which I sat with the Chief Magistrate in the conduct of the inquiry. On the 18th July, after the information had been given, and the warrants issued, I went to the Acting Colonial Secretary, and exhibited to him the sworn information. I mentioned that the deponent was in extreme terror, but I believed it would be very difficult to induce the witnesses to come forward and give evidence in the case; that I knew that Mr. Caldwell's presence in the Court on the previous inquiry before the Chief Magistrate had been prejudicial to the interests of justice, and that seeing the importance of the case, and the well-known intimacy existing between the prisoner and Mr. Caldwell, that it was only proper he should not appear in Court. The Acting Colonial Secretary assented to this, and said he would intimate as much to Mr. Caldwell.\n\nThis was on the 18th. On the morning of the 20th, about 9 o'clock, I received a note from the Acting Colonial Secretary to the effect, that he thought it was advisable under all circumstances that the inquiry into the Ma-chow Wong case should be conducted by the Chief Magistrate. Before I answered the note, the Acting Colonial Secretary came to the Central Police Station, and I spoke to him on the subject of the note. I told him that I could not agree with him as to the advisability of my not taking an interest in the matter, because the Chief Magistrate had but newly arrived, and there was no officer of police willing and capable of conducting it. I instanced the incident as previously mentioned regarding Mr. Grand-Pré, and told him that I must insist upon going on with the case as I had commenced it, that I was reluctant to differ from him, and that if he thought it was a suitable plan, I would sit with the Chief Magistrate. From what the Acting Colonial Secretary said, I knew that Mr. Caldwell had imbued him with the idea, that it would be better I should not conduct the inquiry, having an antipathy to the prisoner. I was angry at the ridiculous idea, that I should be influenced by my presumed antipathy to the prisoner, and said that I had, from a long knowledge of the prisoner, a great dislike to him, and it was because of my knowledge of him I was so desirous to see the inquiry properly carried out, and that if I did not exhibit personal interest in the matter, it would be tantamount to the liberation of the prisoner.\n\nOn the 1st or 2nd day of the proceedings at the Police Court, the Attorney in the case, Mr. Stace, applied to the Chief Magistrate and myself for permission to see all the papers and books in possession of the Police, not at that time produced in Court, including those from which the memoranda had been taken. This was granted, and a time appointed for Mr. Stace to be at the Police Station with an Interpreter to make the examination. I know that the examination was made, for in returning that day from the Police Court, to the Central Police Station, I saw Mr. Stace, Mr. Caldwell, and an Interpreter, sitting in a small office at the Central Police Station, with the books and papers before them. Inspector Jarman was the custodian. The examination was not concluded the first day, and another day was appointed for the second examination. The following day, before the second examination, upon going to the Police Court, I found some books and some papers—the latter in Mr. Caldwell's hand-writing—which I directed to be sent down to the Police Station for the second examination.\n\nAfter the cases were committed for trial, and the deposition had reached the then Acting Attorney General, I had one or two conferences with that gentleman in reference to the cases committed, and I exhibited and read over to him, the memoranda that I have referred to. Previous to the trial of the prisoner, I was accidentally going out late from the Central Police Station, when I saw the Acting Colonial Secretary, and the Acting Superintendent of Police, in conversation; the latter spoke to me immediately I advanced towards him, and said, \"the Acting Colonial Secretary has directed me to deliver over the shops of Ma-chow Wong.\" I then spoke to the Acting Colonial Secretary, and urged that there should be no difference in this case from preceding similar cases, and I urged that the shops should not be given up, as it would have a dangerous tendency.\n\nPostponed till to-morrow at 12.\n\n(35)",

        "content_text": "(38)\n\nI do not recollect any more of the contents of the memo-worth of gold dust was found in the possession of different prisoners, and remained in the hands of the police. I believe, Tong Akü, to the effect that the petitioner was one of the emigrants who had been plundered at the gold dust robbery,—that neither he nor any of the real emigrants had ever received one fraction of the gold dust, which he understood had been recovered from the pirates—that he had been deputed by the other emigrants to make this representation. He told me that certain men had falsely represented themselves to be the emigrants, that these men had been obtained by Ma-chow Wong, and that each of them had received a small amount, but that the bulk of the gold dust went to him.\n\nI consider that what I have mentioned gives but a meagre account of what was contained in them. Many of the items as written on my memo, bore dates, but I have not the slightest recollection as to what they were.\n\nAs evidence of Mr Caldwell's intimacy with Ma-chow Wong: I have seen Ma-chow Wong seven or eight times within Mr Caldwell's house, and I have seen him very many times entering or departing from Mr Caldwell's house. I recall one instance, on one occasion, I saw him in a room used as an office in Mr Caldwell's house in Gough Street. I went there early in 1857, about a case then under inquiry, in connection with the conspiracy to carry off Colonel Caine. Ma-chow Wong, Mr Caldwell's servant, and Mr Caldwell were there. We had some conversation referring to the case.\n\nI have for very many years known Ma-chow Wong; I should say since 1849. I knew for years before that, of the existence of some man whom I afterwards knew by name to be Ma-chow Wong, and I knew that that man afterwards known as Ma-chow Wong was Mr Caldwell's principal and most relied-upon informant. During the whole of that time, whenever reference was made to Ma-chow Wong either by subordinate officers of Police, by old European residents, or by Chinese, they always coupled his name with some epithet having reference to his bad character. As a matter of repute and notoriety, I know that Ma-chow Wong has for years been considered an extortioner, a recipient of bribes from gambling-house keepers, a confederate of pirates, and a receiver of stolen goods.\n\nEarly in 1857, Mr Schaeffer, of Victoria, came to me, and gave one of the instances before, and now wish to give the other. When Mr Caldwell was in command of the Eaglet, I think the latter part of 1856, a peculiar case occurred of a man being seized in a brothel by the aid of a Police Constable, who said he was under the impression he was seizing a thief. A man who duped the Constable, and one or two confederates robbed the man of more than $100, and the thieves made their escape with the booty, leaving the Constable with the victim. That led to my knowing the affair, and also to obtaining information as to the plunderers. About a week after the robbery, a Constable got information that the man who had taken the principal part in the duping and robbery, a well-known bad character, was in the upper part of the house of Ma-chow Wong in the Central market. The Constable went into the house with the intention of seizing the man, but was met by Ma-chow Wong at the top of the stairs, who forcibly prevented his going further.\n\nIt was stated to me during the progress of the case, and has been stated to me since, and I think also by the Police Constable, that there was some connection between some of the prisoners in the gold dust robbery and Ma-chow Wong. The $1,000 worth of gold dust in the hands of the police taken from the prisoners remained in the same custody after the conviction, until some months subsequently I got an intimation from the Acting Colonial Secretary, that a petition had been presented through Mr Caldwell, for its delivery to certain of the returned Emigrants from whom it had been plundered. I immediately waited upon the Acting Colonial Secretary, and told him that I considered that as these men had in no way rendered assistance and Mr Caldwell. Ma-chow Wong was then seated in Mr Caldwell's office. Mrs Caldwell was there seated, and Mr Caldwell, we had some conversation referring to the case.\n\nI urged strongly that the property should not be given up, as it would be a dangerous precedent. I was over-ruled, and I then asked permission to deliver the gold dust to Mr Caldwell, so that upon his shoulders should rest the entire responsibility of its rendition to the claimants. This was assented to, and I subsequently delivered to Mr Caldwell at the Central Police Station the whole of the gold dust excepting a very small quantity—7 taels,—which was reserved for certain of the boat people who had had it in their custody, and been actually witnesses in the case.\n\nWhen I so delivered the gold dust to Mr Caldwell, I observed to him, \"I am indignant at this proceeding—there is the gold dust; I wash my hands of it altogether; I think you will have very great difficulty in finding out whether they are the emigrants or not, but it rests upon your shoulders.\" Mr Caldwell replied, \"I'll take very good care to obtain good security, but at all events Jack will take care of me.\" By Jack, I knew he meant Ma-chow Wong.\n\nAbout a month subsequent to the apprehension of Ma-chow Wong, a Chinaman presented to me a petition. I directed the man to go to Mr Caldwell with a note, which I then gave him, \"and if you are not satisfied with what is stated to you by Mr Caldwell, come back to me with the letter you speak of, and when I have that, an investigation shall be made.\" The man went away with my note; he returned bringing me a note (S) from Mr Caldwell, which stated that Mr Caldwell could not satisfy the man, because the security papers which he had taken were in the office of the Superintendent of Police.\n\nOwing to the security papers not being found in the office of the Superintendent of Police, I directed the man to come again on a subsequent day, being careful to bring the letter. Ma-chow Wong appeared next morning at the Police Court. Mr Mitchell was the sitting Magistrate. I heard at the time that Mr Caldwell was present at the investigation. I was not there. Ma-chow Wong was discharged.\n\nI sent an order, I think to Mr Grand-Pré, to deliver the seven taels to Mr Caldwell. About a month subsequent to this, I got a note (1) from Mr Caldwell, asking me to give him the remaining seven taels of gold dust, and I did so.\n\nAnother instance is that connected with the Gold Dust Robbery, a piracy committed in the vicinity of Hongkong, in 1856, in which about $5,000 or $6,000 worth of gold dust was plundered from some returned emigrants. There were some European, and some Chinese prisoners in the case; they were tried in the Supreme Court and convicted.\n\nOn the first day of my examination I stated, that I had on two occasions had differences with Mr Caldwell. I was standing in the Registration office at the Central Police Station, and saw Ma-chow Wong come into the office with five or six Chinamen, whom I understood to be the recipients of the gold dust. Some short time afterwards, I got a note from Mr Caldwell.\n\nPage 321 \n## \n30) \n471",

        "content_text": "472 \n\n(40) \n\nPANG WA PING.-Called and examined.\n\n\"Of cowards you must bear the consequences.\" I know, because of a reference I made to the documents of the case in the Supreme Court, and from hearsay and repute, that Ma-chow Wong was tried there in 1847, on a charge of receiving stolen goods. I have examined the depositions which appear to me to be strong, the stolen goods having been actually found in Ma-chow Wong's house. I know that in February or March of 1857, a petition was presented by Mr Caldwell to the Government, for the establishment of a monopoly of passage-boats. I knew at the time that Mr Caldwell strongly advocated the measure. I was consulted concerning the measure, and gave my opinion strongly against it. In my letter of the 20th July, I made reference to that proposed scheme. I made inquiry anterior to Ma-chow Wong's apprehension, and my informant told me that Ma-chow Wong was the secret mover in the affair, and was to be its conductor. I have stated that I always found that Ma-chow Wong was always interested either for or against pirates. I knew always from the position the case assumed in what scale was placed the influence of Ma-chow Wong. On the 18th day of the 3d moon of 4th year (April 1854), I had a lorcha, which was captured by pirates. A native of Tychow, an island near which the piracy had been committed, had bought rice from the pirates who had taken her, and he informed me of her capture. I gave information through a friend of mine—a Shroff in the Supreme Court—to Mr Caldwell. An English man-of-war, a screw steamer with two funnels (the Rattler), was sent in quest of her. The steamer came up with the pirates and re-captured the lorcha, and brought her back to this harbour when she was restored to me. The day after I went to Mr Caldwell's office, at the old Central Police Station, and paid upwards of $200 on account of the Coals expended by the steamer; this was in the outer office. I then went home, and in the evening of the same day I came back, and in an inner room I offered Mr Caldwell $100 on account of his exertions, the more especially as I had a father on board the lorcha, and I was afraid he would have been ill-used had not the lorcha been got back so speedily. Mr Caldwell refused the $100, made a gesture of indignation, and said, \"there is no such custom, I can't take it.\" I then said, \"I do not wish to give it to you, but to buy ornaments for your wife,\" Mr Caldwell again refused, and said Mrs Caldwell had enough ornaments. I then said \"well, to be given to the children.\" Mr Caldwell did not answer. I put the $100 upon the table, and Mrs Caldwell afterwards took the $100 inside. That money has never been returned to me. The money was paid on account of two lorchas, both of which had been rescued from pirates, one belonging to Acheong, the P. & O. Comprador. Not the slightest promise had been held out before that this money would be paid on the recovery of the lorchas, nor was money spoken of.\n\nMy knowledge of Ma-chow Wong arose from my knowing that Mr Caldwell used him as an informer. Every person connected with the Police Department, and the Chinese community generally, knew of the position in which Ma-chow Wong stood to Mr Caldwell. Up to the date of my letter of the 20th July, I believed, as I therein expressed, that Mr Caldwell was the dupe of Ma-chow Wong—and I judged this partly from believing that Mr Caldwell was under family influence. I knew he was careless and indifferent upon many points, and was subject to that family influence, and this knowledge partly led to my expressed opinion. When I found out, from the examination of Ma-chow Wong's books and papers, the extent and variety of the villanies of Ma-chow Wong, I was, very much against my will, and led by common sense, necessitated to alter my opinion about his being a dupe. When Mr Caldwell was in command of the Eaglet, on one occasion I asked him how marine affairs were getting on, and he told me that he was partner with Ma-chow Wong in a carrying trade carried on in many vessels, and that they owned several Chinese vessels. I observed, if you let the Eaglet be engaged in these expeditions against pirates, you will have a combination against you, and have the Eaglet snapped up; and he said, \"no fear of that, such is the fame and terror caused by the Eaglet, that many vessels have applied to us, and we are thinking of granting the Eaglet's flag as a pass of protection.\"\n\nThe same persons known to be in business and trade with Ma-chow Wong presented themselves time after time to bail persons charged with piracy and exhibiting interest for the defence in cases which broke down through the non-attendance of the witnesses. Upon that account I should like that the oldest interpreter at present at the Police Court—Assow—should be examined. I recollect in one case, that a fishing boat was attacked by pirates, and a man killed; the body was brought to Hongkong, and an inquest held. I was Coroner. The witnesses in the case said they could identify some of the pirates on the boat. A verdict of Wilful Murder against persons unknown was returned. Some days afterwards the principal witness pointed out a boat then anchored in Hongkong Harbour; the Police boarded and took the boat, and some four or five men into custody. Mr Stace appeared for the defence; the case began to assume the wonted complexion I have before alluded to; the witnesses having positively identified the boat and certain of the prisoners at the Police Station, said, at the Police Court, that they could not identify them, and the prisoners were necessarily discharged. That very same boat was the boat seized in the trial in which Ma-chow Wong was convicted. This was proved by the evidence in the Police Court.\n\nCross-examined,—When I spoke to Mr Caldwell about this $100, Mrs Caldwell was in the adjoining room, the wife's room, I saw her there. The money was in a small mat bag. When Mrs Caldwell took the money from the table, Mr Caldwell was walking to and fro outside in a verandah. I do not know that Mr Caldwell saw her do so; I spoke to Mr Caldwell, I said, \"I too much chin chin Mr Caldwell.\" \n\n(41)\n\nI told Mrs Caldwell about my father, and why I wished to give this present to her children. Mrs Caldwell said, she very much thanked me.\n\nJAMES MONGAN, Assistant Chinese Secretary,—Re-called.\n\nI remember on the 29th September, 1857, two baskets and three or four packages of books and papers being sent up from the Police Magistrate's office to the Chinese Secretary's office. Mr Caldwell was directed to make a translation of the books, and I was requested to afford Mr Caldwell every assistance in my power in the translation required, favourable or unfavourable to Ma-chow Wong. When they reached the office they were tied up and sealed. They were delivered by the messenger to Mr Morrison, who delivered them to me. One of the baskets had been opened, apparently for the purpose of seeing if the two packages which it professed to contain were there. The two packages were still sealed.\n\nCross-examined--I had the custody of the papers while they were under examination. As I finished the examination of each packet, I sealed it up again as well as I can remember; and I unsealed each packet, when its examination began. As far as I could see, the papers handed by me to Mr Caldwell were returned to me by him. I considered the papers were in my custody. I could not say I counted every paper I gave to Mr Caldwell; but I am not at all sure that I did not do so, because I was very particular about it. It is my impression that all the papers I handed to Mr Caldwell were returned by him to me.\n\nAbout two days afterwards I proceeded with Mr Caldwell to make the investigation. I was assisted by my Chinese teacher, and Mr Caldwell had his Chinese clerk. I and my teacher first sorted the papers, and in doing this ran over the contents, and any that were of a suspicious nature we put on one side. I understood my instructions to be, to look for any entries bearing on the statements made in the China Mail of the 17th September, 1857. The papers put on one side were then examined by Mr Caldwell, and the contents noted down. In doing this Mr Caldwell consulted me, and upon what he noted down. I think, but am not quite sure, that this examination occupied about three half days. As far as I was concerned, I should call it a cursory examination; I should not call it a searching one, unless I went over every item myself, and compared it with the books. Of this I am certain, that I saw nothing of a suspicious nature in the books which I did not put on one side, and I believe that all those so put aside were afterwards examined. I think it hardly possible, that anything of a suspicious nature escaped me, but I cannot pledge myself to the exact accuracy of every item noted down. I have read through the report made on the examination of the books by Mr Caldwell, and do not recollect seeing any entries of a suspicious nature not therein enumerated.\n\nWhen the examination was concluded, I tied up and sealed all the books and papers myself; and on the 13th of October, up to which time they remained in my custody, I sent them in the same state to Mr Wade. On the 12th October, I had been summoned to appear before the Council. I heard that in consequence of a discrepancy between the report of Mr May, and that of Mr Caldwell, they were to be sent to Mr Wade for re-examination. I sent them to Mr Wade's private house. They were returned by him to the office in the beginning of March last, when Mr Wade went to the North. They were returned exactly as I sent them. I am confident they had not been opened, for I put them up very carefully, and the tape and sealing wax were exactly the same as when I sent them. I was ordered up to Whampoa about this time, and when I came back I did not know what to do with them; they were an incumbrance in the office. I went to His Excellency Sir John Bowring, and asked him what was to be done. He gave me no instructions at all, but referred me to Dr Bridges, the Acting Colonial Secretary; I went immediately in to Dr Bridges, who said, \"they are mere rubbish, you may burn them, and I saw them burnt myself.\n\nTHIRTEENTH DAY, \nWednesday, 23d June, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent—All the Members.\n\nRe-examined, I do not exactly recollect whether Mr Caldwell consulted me on every one of the suspicious documents. I was present when some questions were put to Mr Dixson at the Executive Council; I was not present when Mr May was examined; he was just called in when I went out. I do not remember any memoranda of Mr May being produced. I was not examined in regard to them. I certainly did not say before the Council, that I could not account for the entries in Mr May's memoranda not having been discovered by me in the books and papers. I may have said so on other occasions when I heard of the memoranda, but I cannot say that I did ever say so.\n\nAfter hearing the evidence given on this point by Mr Dixson before the Commission, I still adhere to my statement, that the memoranda by Mr May were not produced at the Council in my presence, and that I was not called on to account for the discrepancy between them and Mr Caldwell's report. All I heard was, that Mr Dixson said that Mr May's memoranda would substantiate the statements in the China Mail. I may have made a remark on it, but I think I did not; I am quite certain that Mr May was not examined while I was in the room, and that I saw him coming in as I went out. Mr May's memoranda were never at any time then or afterwards in my hands, nor ever referred to me for examination or collation. I do not know whether they were sent to Mr Wade. I do not know what became of them after the Council broke up.",

        "content_text": "473\n\n(42)\n\nI believe between the 20th and 30th March, certainly before the month of May. When Mr Wade returned the books and papers to me, he did so without any observations; there was no letter from him. He never sent to the office any certificate or report upon them, or anything in the nature of a report. I never heard him say that he was investigating, or had investigated, them. There is not now a single book or paper sent to me to be examined, in existence. I cannot recollect seeing, when I was examined at the Council, any manuscript papers in His Excellency's hands, nor do I remember His Excellency referring to any such.\n\nI told His Excellency the way in which I examined the books, but I do not recollect using the word cursory. I am quite certain that Mr May was not in the room when I was examined, and I did not go to the Council room again.\n\n**CHARLES MAY,—Recalled**\n\nAfter reading my evidence given at last meeting, on the subject of what took place at the Executive Council, and hearing Mr Mongan's evidence now given to the Commission, I adhere to the statement I then made. As a minor incident, I may mention that Mr Mongan did not sit down, but stood at the Governor's elbow, and answered the questions he put. Mr Dixson did not say one word while Mr Mongan was in the room.\n\n**PANG WA-PANG,-Recalled**\n\nI adhere to my statement before made, that no promise was ever made to Mr Caldwell that this money would be paid, and I never told Inspector Roberts that such promise had been made. I now say, that before the steamer went out, I said to Mr Caldwell that I would make him some polite present, to which Mr Caldwell replied, \"that is not right, that is not right.\" This was the answer I gave to Roberts. Although I did not think Mr Caldwell would receive it, I was so very grateful, and the Chinese custom is so strong on that point, that I went again to offer Mr Caldwell the $100; half of this was on account of Achong. I am acting partner with Achong in the lorcha business, and I told him before I was going to do it. Achong told a man in his employ to give it to me, which he did. I carried the money in my own handkerchief. I am quite certain I did not take the money back with me, and that it has never been returned to me since.\n\nOn the first occasion, I would tell Mr Caldwell when he came back. I saw Caldwell after, and told him that the Commissariat people did not know me, and that Mr Caldwell and I had been long here, and that Mr Caldwell knew whether I was good or bad, and that if he thought I was good to write so and recommend me.\n\nMr Caldwell said he would recommend me according to what was true.\n\nI said nothing to him about the $1000; this was two or three days before my mother saw Mrs Caldwell. I also went the second day after my mother had been to Mrs Caldwell, and asked if that business had been settled. Mr Caldwell said he did not know,--it was Commissariat business. There was not on that occasion anything said to Mr Caldwell about the $1,000.\n\nOn the first occasion when I went to Mr Caldwell, I said I would give him some present according to politeness. Mr Caldwell replied \"Oh! I don't want it.\" Mr Caldwell had been ordered by the Commissariat to enquire after the men's characters, and I know he did write to them. I did not obtain the contract. I never paid the $1,000, or any part of it, nor made any present. I did go to Mrs Caldwell on the morning of the day on which it was to be decided who should be the contractor, and I alluded to the promise of my mother as to the $1,000, for which Mrs Caldwell said there was no necessity. I also mentioned that the tenders had been decided on, and that I had not obtained the contract. Mr Caldwell did on the first occasion tell me he had already made a report to the Commissariat about me and my securities, and could not write any more.\n\n10\n\nRe-examined,-The first visit of my mother to Mrs Caldwell on the occasion referred to, was on the 4th month of this year (May). My mother went to ask Mrs Caldwell because it was an affair between women, and that that was in accordance with Chinese custom. I did not think she had any power to get the contract. She went to her instead of my going to Mr Caldwell, because it was more convenient as I might not find him in, and she was to tell Mr Caldwell what my mother had said. It is not the custom for Chinese women to go to Mrs Caldwell, when they want anything from the Government. It is sometimes the case, but not a fixed custom, that Chinese women offer money, or a present, or valuables to Mrs Caldwell on such occasions. Mrs Caldwell does not accept these offers, nor does she, properly speaking, assist them in getting what they want, but they only go to speak with her about it, and use her influence with Mr Caldwell for this purpose. She is not in the habit of doing so, but I mean that people go to her that she may tell Mr Caldwell what they say. I have not had any conversation with Mr or Mrs Caldwell on this subject since my last examination. I have not seen Mrs Caldwell since, and only saw Mr Caldwell as he was going home that evening.\n\nCross-examined, I remember that I went to Mr Caldwell, and that my mother went to Mrs Caldwell, with a request that Mr Caldwell would write to the Commissary General, and obtain for me the contract for applying the troops with provisions. I sent my mother to Mrs Caldwell to offer her $1,000 if I obtained the contract. I did not order her to go, nor did I know before that she was going, but when she came back she told me she had done so. I did not say I would give the $1,000 because Mrs Caldwell sent my mother. I replied to my mother, \"If you said so, I should have given the $1,000, had my tender been accepted, I should have made some present, but as that had been refused. I never made or offered any present to Mr or Mrs Caldwell, except on these two occasions.\n\n(43)\n\n...they have neither of them sent to me nor desired me to come to them. I did not offer the $1,000...\n\n**KWOK ACHONG, P. & O. Co.'s Comprador.-Called and examined**\n\nI know the last witness, he never was my partner at any time--I had a half share in a lorcha three or four years ago; the other half was owned by several others. Last witness is not agent for me nor the other owners; he had a lorcha of his own. I remember both these lorchas-mine and his-being captured by pirates. My partner and last witness got the assistance of a man-of-war which brought the lorchas back; I did not go to Mr Caldwell. The last witness never came to me about paying expenses incident on the recapture. He never spoke to me about a present to Mr Caldwell; he spoke of a present to be given to the fishermen who brought the news.\n\nI had a conversation with Mr Dixson on the subject of the strange and mysterious interest which had been exhibited in favour of Ma-chow Wong, and expressing my inability to account for it. Mr Dixson said, \"Why, other government officers have had trade with Ma-chow Wong as well as Mr Caldwell.\" I said, \"I dare say that is true, I suppose you allude to little--\" Mr Dixson replied, \"I don't mean little anybody, I mean somebody much bigger,\" in a significant manner; I said nothing in return.\n\nI have no knowledge of my own of other Government officer than Mr Caldwell having trade with Ma-chow Wong. I do know that about two or three months back, a Chinaman, who, from all I had known bore an honest character,—he was called on board the men-of-war \"honest Jack,\" or some such name-who had been a Comprador for Her Majesty's Ships, was apprehended by Mr Caldwell. I know that on the occasion of his apprehension, the Acting Colonial Secretary and Mr Caldwell, without any Warrant from the Magistrate, and having taken the Police without any authority, went over with them to the mainland, and searched a house there with reference to the same case. I do not know the immediate cause of the apprehension, but a watch was found which was claimed by Mr Lapraik, who had lost it some years previously. The case was disposed of, and the man discharged. Another charge against him was brought forward-supported by the evidence of convicts. I think it can be ascertained by the Commission, that an examination was held in the Gaol by the Acting Colonial Secretary and Mr Caldwell, with reference to the charge against this man.\n\n**CHARLES MAY-Recalled**\n\n...a very large portion of the tin stolen was at one time in the colony in the possession of a Chinaman, and that notwithstanding the solicitation of Mr Hudson and Mr Mitchell to Caldwell to seize the tin, Mr Caldwell delayed to do so, acting, as he said, upon the advice of Ma-chow Wong, and that the result was that, with the exception of a few slabs, the entire of the tin escaped from the colony. This was about three years back. I think I may refer the Commission to apply to Mr Mitchell, as but the Chief Magistrate, who investigated both cases, can give certain evidence on this head.\n\nIn reference to the reason why this man was accused, it was told me--and I believe you will get direct evidence of it from Assow, the Police Court Interpreter, and I think Roberts and Lyons-that the man had incurred the enmity of Ma-chow Wong. I had a conversation with the Attorney General, as stated by him ultimately about the communication from Mrs Caldwell to certain parties involving a charge of a grave nature that they were to state that they had not given presents. In March, 1867, an English merchant (name you will get from the Police Chairman) put into my hands a Chinese letter, and requested me to take the best means of getting the contents be known, because letters of which he trusted...",

        "content_text": "## SEVENTEENTH MEETING.\n\nWednesday, 30th June, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nANDREW LYSAGHT INGLIS, Governor of the Gaol, called and examined.\n\nI recollect so far the general statement made in that letter, and that a day or two after, I was informed by the party from whom I got the information that the connection was the other way. I was applied to by the Governor for a report concerning Ma-chow Wong, and hence this statement. I am giving the matter as mere rumour from individuals, and I would rather decline answering the question who was the particular individual from whom I got this information. I understood Mr Caldwell had adopted Ma-chow Wong, but this particular information was only received through one. I cannot give the commission any general information, as I was absent from the Colony during the years in which the things happened which are now being investigated.\n\nI felt convinced of the fact of Ma-chow Wong's connection with Mr Caldwell when I told the Chief Magistrate of it. It was Mr Caldwell's statement in Court which convinced me I was in error.\n\nI do not, of my own knowledge, know what Mr Caldwell's business connections with Ma-chow Wong were - nothing further than from hearsay. I cannot name anyone who can give information. I don't know anything of my own knowledge about Mr Caldwell's connections with Ma-chow Wong. All that I know is from hearsay from Chinamen, and I believe that is not acceptable as evidence. I never saw Ma-chow Wong to my knowledge until he was handed into my custody.\n\nThe connection was rumoured to be in a variety of ways. I have heard it said that Mr Caldwell's former Chinese wife, Awoon, was exceedingly friendly with Ma-chow Wong in the early period of my residence. I have also heard it mentioned that Awoon had adopted Ma-chow Wong as her adopted son. Awoon is much older than Mr Caldwell; there could not be much difference in age between Awoon and Ma-chow Wong.\n\nFrom what I can recollect, I have since that time heard Mr Caldwell on oath in Court deny that connection in toto, and as I have nothing but hearsay to the contrary, on his having done so, concluded that I was misinformed. I do not know that I have heard it more than once. It was first when Ma-chow Wong was apprehended, when his affairs became the subject of conversation.\n\nI have heard there was a great intimacy between Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong for a number of years. I recollect that in my letter to the Acting Colonial Secretary on the 14th July, 1857, I made an erroneous statement that Ma-chow Wong was connected with Mr Caldwell.\n\nI found myself mistaken in one popular report in which I placed credence, and I might be wrong in others, and therefore do not like to mention other reports I have heard as I might be wrong in them as I was before. I think, probably, I had better decline answering questions as to reputed connections, as I have been already once mistaken.\n\nThe proceedings before the Police Court seldom come to my knowledge; the prisoners are sent into the Gaol on a warrant. I do not recollect the case in which a man was charged with stealing a watch from Mr Lapraik, beyond the mere fact. I do not know whether the charge was got up in the Gaol. I cannot say whether Mr Caldwell was in the Gaol getting evidence on it - Mr Caldwell, as a Justice of the Peace, has permission to enter the Gaol, but I can find out by reference to the books if the day was given me.\n\nInformation has been given to myself, to Mr Caldwell, and to Dr Bridges, by Ma-chow Wong since his conviction, in many different cases, only one case, which I can recollect, in which a man was actually arrested. The information has not invariably been through me in the first place. Ma-chow Wong has been sometimes up in my office and has given me information in the presence of Dr Bridges and Mr Caldwell - he has also given me information personally in the Gaol - he has also, I rather think, given Mr Caldwell information, who has come for that purpose to the Gaol.\n\nI recollect Akü, the Police Court interpreter, being charged with extortion, and that Pang Poi-yeen, a convict, and another convict gave evidence against him. I cannot say of my own knowledge that Ma-chow Wong had any connection with the case, but I recollect it was reported to me at the time by the turnkey, that Ma-chow Wong was very busy going about amongst the prisoners, and that the impression was in Gaol, that he was at the root of the matter.\n\nI think I have written notes to Mr Caldwell about information received from Ma-chow Wong, and I think there was a note written to Mr Caldwell in this particular case. I can't exactly say, there were so many conversations on this subject, but the information may have come first from Kum-yee - one of the political prisoners. The arrest of the prisoner in the case was certainly through information supplied by Kum-yee and Ma-chow Wong conjointly.\n\nRe-examined. When I say hearsay, I mean reputation or rumour current in this Chinese community, as to the nature of the connection between Ma-chow Wong and Mr Caldwell. I know one or two instances of adopted children, in which children adopted by the female are not considered as the adopted of the male, but I am not sufficiently conversant with Chinese usage in this respect to say, positively, whether the adoption by Awoon imports the adoption by Mr Caldwell or not.\n\nI would not consider in the case of a European living with a Chinese concubine, if such concubine had adopted another as her son, or been adopted by another as his daughter, such European would certainly not be deemed the son or father, as the case may be, of the person adopting or adopted by such concubine; but Mr Caldwell's was an exceptional case - not in the matter of his living with Awoon, but from his position with respect to the Chinese people - his intimate knowledge of their language and customs - he would be apt to be considered by the Chinese community to be more amenable to their customs, than any other European in this Colony.\n\nI understood Mr Caldwell to be under the impression, when he made the statement in Court on oath, that the report alluded to the present Mrs Caldwell. I don't at this present time recollect the exact words used by Mr Caldwell, further than that they were very explicit, and led me to believe that he denied any connection through any females of his family with Ma-chow Wong at any time. I personally heard him in Court say this.\n\nBeyond this denial of his own, I have never heard anything to cause me to doubt the story, which I at first believed. At the date of such denial, it was not the general impression that Ma-chow Wong had adopted him or his present wife. I had mistaken my informant on that point. In connection with this adoption, Mr Davies, I think, had heard from me of such adoption. He had been under the impression previously, that Ayow was the person meant, but I informed him as well as the Acting Colonial Secretary, that it was Awoon who was meant.\n\nThe spy Ashing has been employed through me, and Cock-eye has been assisting him in hopes of a reward for the apprehension of the robbers who robbed Mr Hazeland. They were in no shape employed through me at the recommendation of Mr Caldwell. I may also state that their employment in the first place had no connection with the capture of robbers, or persons of that description. They were employed by me at the instance of His Excellency the Governor for the public safety, more particularly in regard to the recent incendiarism, and for information of what transpired on the mainland of China, for the protection of the Colony.\n\nCross-examined. Regarding the Stanley murder case, from the information which I have received in the Gaol, I feel perfectly convinced that a murder has been committed. Mr Caldwell received the information upon which he acted from Ma-chow Wong in my presence, and in the presence of the Acting Colonial Secretary. I can give no reason for their coming down to make the inquiry, beyond their anxiety to carry out the ends of justice. I had, in the first place, communicated Ma-chow Wong's information to the Acting Colonial Secretary.\n\nI recollect, very probably since this enquiry began, restating this to the Attorney General, but I cannot recollect the date. I do not recollect how it was put to me by the Attorney General.\n\n[Handed in (R) a copy of the Notification appointing Mr Grand-Pre in Mr Caldwell's stead.]\n\nAdjourned till 12 o'clock to-morrow.",

        "content_text": "## 482\n\n(60)\n\n(61)\n\nFrom time to time in one and two or more. I recollect having a conversation at my office with Mr May regarding depositions, I mentioned to him that I considered the first case was the safer and surer of the two; he differed from me, and drew my attention to some points of direct evidence in the second case, which changed my opinion. It is the practice for the judge to arrange the order in which the charges come up; the Judge seeing in the first case an information covering both confederacy and conspiracy, and also seeing on the back of the information the names of many persons as witnesses, whose names were also on the back of the information in the second case, thought this information for confederacy and conspiracy covered both cases, and under that impression he put it first on the calendar. I had entered a nolle prosequi on the prisoner having been sentenced to 15 years' transportation.\n\nI recollect in a conversation with Mr May a few days after, I stated that I did not consider Ma-chow Wong's assistance of much value at the time, but that evidently he was endeavouring to place himself on the same footing as the political prisoners, so that he might derive advantage equally with them from the reward which they expected for their service to Government.\n\nmatter.\n\nquestion whether Mr Caldwell's reputed character was good or bad 20 years ago, when I first heard of him. I did not know him at the time; I was living at Macao, and he at Canton.\n\n**JOHN RICKETT,-Called and examined.**\n\nI wish to state that I dislike being examined on this matter. It is about 40 years since I first came to China. I cannot say positively when I first heard of, or saw Mr Caldwell; I heard of him 20 years ago. I decline answering the question whether Mr Caldwell's reputed character was good or bad... I recollect Beaver, who was charged with piracy. Beaver was several times up in my office. I rather think there was an investigation in Beaver's case, and that I was not present.\n\nI think I was present when Roberts was once examined in Beaver's case. I recollect an investigation taking place, not with respect to Mr Lapraik's watch, but with respect to the Acting Colonial Secretary's own watch, which was stolen. Ma-chow Wong has requested me to send for Mr Caldwell, and I have done so. I recollect first when Ma-chow Wong was committed to gaol, he requested to see Mr Caldwell, and, I think, I did send or wrote to Mr Caldwell mentioning the fact. It was before his trial, I think, and, I think, was for the purpose of seeing him concerning his defence, which is a privilege granted to all prisoners.\n\nI did not observe that Ma-chow Wong exhibited any confusion upon this. I differed in opinion from Captain Rickett, and based it on that of the Colonial Surgeon. I don't recollect the Attorney General inquiring whether Awoon could be found to be produced as a witness, and my saying that she could be found in Taipingshan. I do not recollect whether this was before or after the meeting of Justices.\n\nI am decidedly of opinion, that I must have mentioned it to the Attorney General as the original story. The Attorney General may have asked me whether Awoon or the present Ashing is at present in Gaol upon a charge of conspiracy, in connection with his services in Government. Ashing gave information against a merchant in the Lower Bazaar, and some person residing in a new street in the Queen's Road, which led to the Police forcibly entering their respective houses at midnight.\n\nI have not entered in my Journal any of the information given me by Ashing; it had no reference to Gaol affairs, but was simply temporary measures of the Government for the public safety of the colony.\n\nMrs Caldwell was intended. I don't recollect how the conversation commenced, and I may have answered to those questions. My restatement might have led the Attorney General to the impression, that I was under the same belief as when I originally made the statement. I certainly did not intend to convey such impression to the mind of the Attorney General, for after the statement of Mr Caldwell, I could not weigh his oath in open Court, as light as popular rumour.\n\nAs far as my recollection goes I adhere to all the statements made in my letter except on this point. Upon hearing it now read over, I adhere to it throughout, with the exception of what I have mentioned. I do not recollect the Attorney General stating to me with reference to a case, that he would not find a bill upon the unsupported evidence of convicts prepared by Mr Caldwell.\n\nI have a recollection of the Attorney General having stated something to that effect referring to a case. I recollect Mr Caldwell coming to the Gaol to examine convicts. I have sent notes to him on more occasions than one, at the instance of the Acting Colonial Secretary. I cannot say how many times he may have come on such business. He had several interviews by the Acting Colonial Secretary's authority, and the other occasions when he came for the purpose of examining prisoners committed for trial.\n\nI forget whether he applied to me for the permission, but Mr Caldwell has seen him on some occasions since his trial. I wrote once to Mr Grand-Pre a request from Eli Boggs wishing to see him, but I did not give any permission. I rather think that I have the order of admission filed, under the hand of the Acting Colonial Secretary. Mr Grand-Pre did see him.\n\nI recollect perfectly well of complaining of the number of prisoners sent in on Mr Caldwell's warrant. I said words to that effect, although these are probably stronger than I would use. I recollect perfectly well animadverting on the practice of sending in prisoners, and detaining them for lengthened periods of time untried, by Mr Caldwell. In consequence of that minute all the prisoners were nearly all discharged almost immediately after; there may have been one or two remaining.\n\nI think we have received other prisoners on Mr Caldwell's warrant, but there have been no more minutes nor liberations. Ma-chow Wong has not been long off work and in hospital on pretence of a bad eye. He is a hospital servant, and not off work-though I believe he is almost blind. I recollect the circumstance of Captain Rickett having expressed an opinion that the eye was not so blind as Wong Akee pretended it to be.\n\nFrom what I have since heard, I think it was fortunate that the course was adopted, because I have heard there was a defence to the particular points which linked the circumstantial evidence in the second case with the prisoner. I was not ordered by the Governor or Government to enter that nolle prosequi; I think the judge from the bench said \"Well, Mr Acting Attorney General, as you have got a verdict in this case I suppose you won't proceed with the other; to which I replied \"No, my Lord, I enter a nolle prosequi.\"\n\nThe Jury were in the room for about 20 minutes, and while they were in, there was a conversation between the Judge on the bench and Mr Day and myself at the bar, as to whether I should proceed immediately with the second case.\n\n## 11\n\n**HENRY KINGSMILL,-Called and examined.**\n\nI prosecuted Ma-chow Wong on behalf of the Crown in the first case. I drew two informations for the case of confederating with the pirates connected with the Macao lorcha No 29, I think. There was a particular class of evidence that I wished to get in, and for that reason I drew an information for confederating with pirates, with a count for conspiracy.\n\nFearful lest that information might be objected to on the ground of combining two charges, I drew another simply for confederating, for the same case or circumstances; but in the host of depositions taken before the Magistrates, there was a second and totally distinct case included; for that case I drew the third information for confederating.\n\nThe facts supporting the two cases were mixed up and down throughout the whole of the depositions, and I had a great deal of difficulty in selecting, and I might say in allotting, the evidence between the two cases. I may also mention, that in the case of the Macao lorcha No 29, there were from 15 to 20 pirates, I think, placed in the dock.\n\nThe pirate case was well known to me, for, at the preceding Sessions, I prosecuted four men weakly to conviction for the case of the lorcha, and at this particular Sessions having, as I have said, some 15 or 20 other men charged with the same offence-the facts of this case were very prominently in my mind; the evidence in Ma-chow Wong's case was purely circumstantial, and I thoroughly made up my mind before I would bring a lengthened case of this kind before the Court, on insufficient evidence.\n\nI had a conversation before the depositions came into my hands with the Acting Colonial Secretary. He said that this was likely to prove a complicated case, that he thought I would act wisely to sift it carefully. He expressed no opinion of the evidence at all, nor as to the innocence or guilt of the accused, but he said the second case was also mainly circumstantial evidence.\n\nHe expressed no opinion in favour of Ma-chow Wong. I felt perfectly free in the matter. I understood that he meant there was a good deal of personal feeling in the matter between Mr May and Mr Caldwell.",

        "content_text": "## 492\n\n(80)\n\nMr. Lapraik. The arrest was by Mr. Caldwell. Lün Cheong, I was Gaoler at the time of Eli Boggs' trial, and attended the prisoner, said that during Ma-chow Wong's investigation at the Magistrate's Office, Ma-chow Wong's family was living with him. One day he went home and said to Ma-chow Wong's wife that very likely Ma-chow Wong's case would be committed to the Supreme Court, and that Ma-chow Wong's wife was not pleased; he also said that some of the men had petitioned on behalf of Ma-chow Wong, and had gone round the town to get shops' signatures; that he himself being a native of Sunon refused to go to get signatures. Because of this he says Ma-chow Wong's wife had an ill-feeling towards him; he said he believed that Ma-chow Wong's wife herself complained to Mr. Caldwell, and for that reason he believes that he was prosecuted.\n\nI took down the depositions in Court as Gaoler on the occasion of his trial. To the Supreme Court, a tin box containing articles belonging to him was brought. I received the tin box from the Police, but do not recollect from which officer. It was placed on the table at the Court. I do not remember what was in it, nor do I remember anything being taken out. I was present when Eli Boggs made his defence. I think he had some papers in his hand. I don't remember whether he read from them. I am not certain whether the box was handed over to the Police: after the trial, if it had been taken back to the Gaol, it would have been deposited in the Store-room. I have never seen it since. I do not remember seeing or hearing at the trial any paper containing Mr. Caldwell's name read. I heard Mr. Caldwell's name mentioned by Boggs in his defence.\n\nCross-examined,—I recollect the examination in the Gaol Yard of the men who were sent to Hainan. There was a great number of men apprehended in Bonham Strand, some of whom were put in the Debtor's Gaol, and some in the Mill Yard. I remember a large number of these men being examined in the Debtor's Gaol Yard.\n\nI have heard from Kwei Ch'oi, a Chinese female, that she was sent for by Mrs. Caldwell. Mrs. Caldwell said, \"people are saying that you gave me a gold bangle. Did you give it me or not.\" Kwei Ch'oi replied that she had not given her one. I have not heard of any other person being sent for.\n\nCross-examined,—I went to Kwei Ch'oi's house on the occasion I speak of. I visit her now and then. I think this was about a fortnight ago, but I heard the report from several other women before. I did not go to her house for the purpose of questioning her about this. I asked her whether she had put a gold chain into a loaf of bread, and sent it as a present to Mrs. Caldwell. She said \"No.\" I asked about the gold chain because I had heard of it. I haven't heard about the intimidation of witnesses who were to appear before this Commission, but judge from my own arrest. I told Mr. May when asked that I was afraid to come before the Commission to say anything against Mr. Caldwell; if I should, no doubt I would get into trouble. I also heard that a man conversing with another said, \"I hear that Assow is going to give evidence against Mr. Caldwell; if he should, he will not get clear off himself.\" This man was the Chinese Sergeant of Police, Lo Ahing. I think it was about the beginning of last month that I was arrested.\n\nI do not remember the Attorney General being present. I remember Mr. May and Mr. Caldwell. The prisoners deported to Hainan were mustered by Mr. May—the list drawn up—and Mr. May and Mr. Cluff were present. I do not recollect the Attorney General or Mr. Caldwell being present. Mr. Caldwell came to me the day after and inquired about two men who had been sent away, who ought not to have been sent. Mr. Caldwell had nothing that I am aware of to do with the deportation of these men; it was conducted by Mr. May, who was then Acting Sheriff and Superintendent of Police. Mr. Caldwell mentioned the names of two men, but I do not remember the names. After I told him that they were gone, he appeared to be angry, and my reply to the best of my recollection was that I could not help myself, and that I was acting under the orders of my superior Mr. May.\n\nI made out a rough draft of the list of prisoners to be deported, and these were finally arranged by Mr. May. This occasion, on the morning of their embarkation, is to my knowledge the only one on which the prisoners were mustered.\n\nLEONARDO D'ALMADA E CASTRO, Called and examined.\n\nRe-examined,—I have never as Gaoler had reason to remark or complain upon the great number of commitments or liberations on warrants signed by Mr. Caldwell under the deportation ordinance. There was only one occasion on which we were very much overcrowded with prisoners. I think that about that time a great many prisoners were received from several justices. I think there were no more upon Mr. Caldwell's warrant than upon others. Mr. Caldwell has never, during my service as Gaoler, interfered in any way with the Gaol, the prisoners, or the officers. There was a difficulty in mustering the men for deportation, the names which some of them gave being different from those on the list, and I think that Mr. May called Mr. Cluff to interpret. I did not see Mr. Anstey present.\n\n[The proceedings of the several meetings of the Executive Council at which reference was made to the case of Ma-chow Wong were read to the Commission by permission of His Excellency the Governor, from which it appeared that Mr. Morgan was examined previously to Mr. May, and that the Council finally decided on rejecting the prayer of the Petition for the release of Ma-chow Wong, upon a perusal of the translation by Mr. Wade of the papers found on Beaver; Mr. Wade stating that he had not had time in any way to examine the papers referred to in Mr. May's memoranda.]\n\n## ROBERT EDWARD MACKENZIE, Called and examined.\n\nI am Clerk of Councils and Chief Clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office. I did not officiate as Clerk of Councils when the enquiry concerning Ma-chow Wong was being made by the Executive Council. My brother, who is now sick, officiated.\n\n## CHARLES MAY, Recalled at his own request.\n\n(81)\n\nI recollect the man Feaver being brought before me charged with piracy. Mr. Caldwell was the first witness and stated that from documentary evidence, which he would produce on a future day, he would show the prisoner's confederation was with pirates. I have referred to the depositions in the case, and I have no hesitation in stating my conviction that the case was grossly mismanaged, and that Beaver ought to have taken his position at the bar of the Supreme Court, and as far as I was concerned as sitting Magistrate, would have been committed had the documents been produced before me. The Acting Colonial Secretary in his evidence states that one of his reasons—I think he says his chief reason for referring Ma-chow Wong papers and books to Mr. Wade for re-examination, was to ascertain whether credibility was to be attached to Mr. Caldwell's translation, or to any memoranda, inasmuch as that was a thing apart from Ma-chow Wong's case. The destruction of the papers and books placed the settlement of that question beyond possibility.\n\n## WOHANG, Broker, Called and examined.\n\nI remember a Pawnbroker of the Foo Tai shop, in which I had a share, being convicted of receiving a stolen watch. I remember after he was convicted a petition being presented to the Governor for his pardon. His sentence was remitted from 14 to 2 years. A partner of the pawn-shop came to me and said that if I would pay a few hundreds of dollars to Shaplok, the man would be let off. He wanted me to write a paper to the effect that I would pay this money to Shaplok. Mr. Lane was in my shop at the time and advised me not to sign. I have never paid any money. It was before the trial at the Supreme Court that this man came. I do not know if anyone paid any money. The man came again, and I said \"it is no use saying anything about it, I will have nothing to do with it.\"\n\nThere has been no communication within the last month and a half from Mrs. Caldwell to me, or anyone belonging to my house, regarding this matter. I have heard of the present inquiry from Wong Ashing. I do not know who prepared the two petitions. After signature, one was brought up here and handed to one of the Chinese in the office, who gave it to Dr. Bridges, who directed it to be taken to Mr. Caldwell. It was accordingly taken to Mr. Caldwell, who told me to leave it with him. I do not know whether Mr. Caldwell supported it. When my partner asked me why I did not pay the money to Shaplok, I went to Mr. Caldwell and asked whether I had a right to pay the money to Shaplok. He answered, \"No, I did not authorize it.\" When my partner spoke about the payment to be made to Shaplok, he did not mention either Mr. Caldwell's or Mrs. Caldwell's name. I have not seen Shaplok for about a year.\n\nShaplok is acquainted with a good many people in the colony, but whether she is related to Mrs. Caldwell or not I cannot say. After the prisoner was in Gaol under sentence, the other pawnshop man came to me and told me that the money should be given to Shaplok, and that she would ask someone to take the case in hand; my partner did not say whom she would engage, and did not mention Mr. or Mrs. Caldwell's name. I did not suppose that Mr. Caldwell was concerned in it. I went to Mr. Caldwell because he was Protector of Chinese, and I took the petition there. It was after the case was decided at the Supreme Court.\n\n## JOHN ROBERTS, Recalled.\n\nI remember being instructed by Mr. May to take possession of a lorcha off Wanchi, which was supposed to be the Alma. I did seize her and found that she was not the Alma. I found about 36 cannon on board; there were certainly not less. I suppose she could carry about 2,000 piculs cargo. Some of the guns were mounted, and some were dismounted, lying forward. From what I was told on board, I went to Mr. Caldwell's office and saw Mr. Caldwell. There was with him at the time a man whom I did not know, but whom I have since known as Ma-chow Wong. Mr. Caldwell told me he had sold the lorcha and then commenced talking with the Chinaman, and told me she was not the Alma. I inquired about the guns. I don't recollect if he said to whom he had sold her, but it was evident from the manner in which he spoke and referred my inquiries concerning the guns to the Chinaman, that the latter was the owner or agent of the lorcha. I inquired about the guns, and Mr. Caldwell spoke to the Chinaman, and said they were guns of two junks which were either repairing or had been lost on the coast. I told him that it was not the Alma, and I would report it to Mr. May. After I left the office, this Chinaman came out and asked me if it would be necessary for the men to go to the Police Court, and I told him no. I then reported it to Mr. May and had the Police withdrawn.\n\nCross-examined.—Mr. Caldwell asked if there was a large vessel alongside, and I said that there was a lighter alongside, into which I thought they were going to hoist the guns. There are always a number of vessels at Wanchi.\n\nAdjourned till to-morrow at 12 o'clock.\n\n## TWENTY FIRST DAY\n\nSaturday, 10th July, at 12 o'clock Noon. Present. All the Members except the Hon. Mr. Davies.\n\n## JOHN BROWN COMPTON, Called and examined.\n\nI have resided in China since January 1834. I knew Mr. Caldwell when he first came to Canton, about July or August...",

        "content_text": "## 493\n\n(82)\n\n1834. I was not then in the house of Jardine, Matheson & Co. I was informed at the time of his arrival that Mr Caldwell came from Singapore, and that he had been in some Mercantile establishment there. I knew nothing particular of Mr Caldwell beyond meeting him occasionally in the neighbourhood of Canton. He was in the employ of Mr Keating, and subsequently in that of Mr Innes. I was under the impression that he had a letter either to Mr Jardine or Mr Matheson, and that it was one or other of those gentlemen who got him the situation with Mr Keating, and with Mr Innes. During the period of which I speak no circumstances whatever came to my knowledge reflecting in the slightest degree upon Mr Caldwell's character for honesty; he was rather gay going amongst the boats. I do not know why he left Mr Innes or Mr Keating. I am not aware that Mr Caldwell was ever mate of a receiving ship. In July 1834 he was detained on board the Hercules, being unable to get to Canton. I cannot say whether he was in a receiving ship at Macao in 1838. I lost sight of him after he left Mr Innes's employ.\n\nMessrs Jardine, Matheson & Co. have not to my knowledge ever made any inquiry into any reports concerning Mr Caldwell's character. It was in 1841 I joined their employ, and since then nothing has come to my knowledge concerning any such inquiry. I have heard of such reports. I have no recollection of Mr Caldwell being mate of a vessel called the Isabella, used as a receiving ship at Macao. I have been connected with Insurance business since 1835, and it is my impression that there was a small vessel of that name; but do not recollect any such vessel being used as a receiving ship. I never heard of a monthly policy on goods being determined by Messrs Dent & Co., through Mr Henry.\n\nThe case of the pawnbroker had been admirably got up by Mr May, members of whose firm were the prosecutors; and the chief evidence of guilty knowledge against the pawnbroker consisted in the proofs obtained by Mr Jarman of the measures taken by the pawnbroker, first to suppress all trace of the transactions, and next to put the Police on a false scent by the mis-description of the watch in the ticket. The petitions to the Government for pardon were not referred to me, but I know they were referred to the Chief Justice, for His Lordship mentioned the matter in Legislative Council in an under tone to the Governor and me in May last, and asked the Governor if it was true that the pawnbroker's sentence had been mitigated; and at the same time he turned to me and said, “If this is to go on, we might as well not pass sentence at all,\" or \"not pass proper sentence,\" I forget which; and he said that he had given his opinion against it.\n\nBesides the petitions mentioned by Wohang, two were presented to me by the same party, and their purport is mentioned in my letter. Those presented to the Governor, as I am informed by persons who translated them or read the translations of them, were mere copies of those presented to me, so that the Commission by reading my letter will judge whether the Governor should not have considered those very petitions as conclusive reasons for exercising the utmost rigor of the law against the culprit whom at last the Police had caught; and the rather, because another document which the Commission will do well to call for I mean a report presented about that very time by Mr May to the Acting Colonial Secretary, on the state of the law in regard to Pawnbrokers—entirely established the prevalence of pawnbroking frauds, to which the petition in question furnished the trace; and that report, as the Commission will see from the entire approbation of the Government, and was in fact made the foundation of the Ordinance No. 11 of 1858, which passed last Tuesday.\n\n## The Hon'ble Lieutenant-Colonel WILLIAM CAINE\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nI am Lieutenant-Governor of this Colony. I first came to China in 1840, and first knew Mr Caldwell in the same year. He was in the Commissariat Department, and came with me in the same fleet from Singapore to Chusan. I think this must have been in June 1840. I may say that I have almost known him uninterruptedly since that time. I have certainly known him uninterruptedly since he joined the Colonial service in 1843. I myself know nothing against his character for honesty and integrity during that period. I first held the Office of Chief Magistrate in this Colony, I was then Colonial Secretary and Auditor General, and afterward Lieutenant-Governor. I was appointed Chief Magistrate in May 1841, in the infancy of the Colony, and had the complete Superintendence of the Police at that time. I was ever satisfied with Mr Caldwell's conduct and considered him one of the most efficient servants we had, always willing and ready to do anything. No reports on which I can place reliance have ever come to my knowledge against him.\n\n### Cross-examined\n\nI cannot remember Mr Caldwell bringing to me and Mr Johnston some pirates who had attacked the brig of which he had command, but I would suggest that the Magistrate's case book be examined. The Police reports of the Colony will also shew, that Mr Caldwell has been constantly rendering services to the navy, and been thanked, and I remember right rewarded, for these services.\n\n### Re-examined\n\nI have never received any official complaints against Mr Caldwell; all the complaints I have heard have been merely idle rumour; that is what I mean when I say I have not received any complaints on which I could place reliance. I do not remember any objection to Mr Caldwell's taking office in the first instance. Since that the only circumstance which I have heard against him was his pecuniary difficulties which caused him to resign the service. I do not remember his pecuniary difficulties being urged as grounds against his taking office. I do not remember Sir George Bonham saying or showing that he had any reluctance to let Mr Caldwell remain in Government employ. Sir George never in my hearing expressed an unfavourable opinion of his character, and I am not aware of his having done so when I was not present. Mr Caldwell was made at my recommendation either Clerk or Interpreter to the Chief Magistrate, early in 1843, I think. That was his first post in the Colonial Service. The island had very few residents when I took him into the employ. I took him from my own knowledge, seeing that he was a smart person and possessed an excellent knowledge of the language. I did not at that time know anything against him. I saw him at Chusan and here, and sailed with him over to Macao, when he was in command of the Thistle. I do not hesitate in saying that everything I saw of him induced me to recommend him for Government employ, as he would be a useful servant. I would rather decline answering the question as to what I have heard about Mr Caldwell, from my acquaintance with this part of the world to the present time. I have only heard rumours, which made no impression on me. I certainly should not have recommended him to the Government service, if I had heard anything against him, and if I had not thought him peculiarly fitted for the Government service. I am not aware of the fact of a connection between Ma-chow Wong and the Police. I have heard of it, and seen it in newspapers. Neither am I aware, except in the same way, of a connection between Ma-chow Wong and Mr Caldwell. Besides seeing this in newspapers, I have heard it stated in the Council-room on one occasion—perhaps more than one occasion. I do not know that Mr Caldwell was in the employ of Wai of the Lower Bazaar before entering Government employ.\n\n## ONG KWONG-SIN\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nI am a partner in a Pawnbroker's shop, one of the partners of which was convicted a short time ago of receiving a stolen watch. I know the woman Shaplok; I do not know what she is, but only know of her receiving the money. I did not know her before. I know by report that Shaplok is a sister of Caldwell, but cannot tell if it is true. My partners told me that they had asked Shaplok to ask Mr Caldwell, and that if the Pawnbroker should be released $800 would be paid, if not released $400. Shaplok came to the back room of the shop, and settled about paying this before I came. My partner said that Shaplok was requested to ask Mr Caldwell, and that if released a sum of $800 would be paid and if not a sum of $400. The $400 was to get the sentence lightened if the man could not be released. This money was to be paid to Shaplok, who was to pay it to Mr Caldwell. I do not know what he was to do with it. $100 in Bank notes and $50 in Silver were paid to Shaplok two days after the sentence was lightened. The $50 was as a cumshaw to Shaplok for her trouble. I was present when this money was paid, and so were my partners Ch'o On, Low Sing-keet, and all the shopmen; it was paid at the shop. There was no receipt given at the time. Ch'o On was formerly comprador in the Government offices. Neither I nor any of my partners have received back any of the money, neither have we asked for it. I can produce account books shewing the payment. I never asked Wohang for any part of it, it belonging to the shop expenses; and I do not know if any of my partners went to Wohang to ask him to write a promissory note.\n\nI do not know whether any of my partners ever went to Mr Caldwell about the affair. Shaplok is I believe a Brothel-keeper. I do not know where she lives. I have heard that she has girls. She is about 30 years of age. I do not know whether she is now in the colony. I do not know where she was living at the time of this transaction. It was my partners who knew her; they settled the matter about the payment before I came here. Shaplok did not mention Mr Caldwell's name. The petitions were presented before my arrival here, and I did not sign them. I was told by my partners that they had signed and presented the petitions. They did not tell what was in them. I was told by my partners that all the shops in the town had signed; there might be about 100. I do not know who wrote the petitions. I cannot tell whether Mr Caldwell supported them, my partner knows. I know that Wohang refused to pay his share of the $450, because my partner Low Sing-keet did not first inform him of it. Wohang was first informed two or three days after the money had been paid. I do not know if Wohang went to see Mr Caldwell about the payment to Shaplok. I do not know that Shaplok has been prosecuted for receiving this money. We wanted to give Shaplok only $25 instead of $50, because Ch'o On said Mr Caldwell only received one-half and she also should receive another half. One of the shopmen went out to change the dollars into Bank-notes in order to pay to Shaplok who would not receive dollars.\n\n## CHO ON\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nI have a small share in the Pawn-broker's establishment in which Tong Kwong-sin is a partner. I remember the trial of one of the partners for receiving a Gold Watch which had been stolen.\n\n## The ATTORNEY GENERAL\n\nRecalled at his own request, to make a statement regarding the Pawnbroker's case.\n\nI refer the Commission to my letter of March last already before them. In addition to what is there, I would state that I have before me my own note on the March Calendar, for the sessions when the man was convicted. Mr Day was counsel for that prisoner. I had put him and another prisoner on their trial on a single count for compound larceny stealing in a dwelling house to above the amount of £5. It was for stealing the watch of Mr Perkins of the Ordnance, whose domestic servant the first prisoner Tong Asin then was. The first prisoner, a simple youth, who confessed the crime as soon as he was apprehended, gave up the pawnticket which he had received for the watch in the same day from the second prisoner the pawnbroker Ch'un Achong. The Chief Justice evidently quite agreed with me that the principal offender was the pawnbroker, for he said in passing sentence that \"if there were no receivers, there would be no thieves;\" the second prisoner having been convicted as receiver and not as thief. The first prisoner was sentenced to transportation for fifteen years; which sentence I believe has not been mitigated. The second prisoner received sentence of transportation for fourteen years, and the mentioned by Wohang having used their influence persons in his favour, that sentence has been reduced, first from transportation to imprisonment, and next from fourteen years to two years or three years at the utmost.\n\n(83)",

        "content_text": "## \n494\n\n## \n(84)\n\nI do not know a woman called Shap-lok. Nobody came after the sentence to the Fawn-shop that I know of to speak of getting a pardon. I have only a small share in the firm. $200 was paid to Mr Gaskell, I do not know of any other money being paid; I have not seen any money paid; Low Sing-keet the manager of the shop, knows. Low Sing-keet gave the $200 to me, and I went with Wong Ashing and paid the Money to Mr Gaskell at his office. I was never present at the payment of any other money, but I know that money was paid for feasts, and trouble in connection with the matter. I never saw $800 paid to a woman, but I saw a bill made out shewing disbursements to that amount. I do not know to whom it was paid; some of it was in feasting, some to buy shoes and cakes for presents. I did not see the money paid, and do not know if it was promised to be paid before it was paid. Low Sing-keet said money was to be paid to lawyers and others, I was not responsible for it. I did not make myself responsible to Mr Caldwell for that or any other sum.\n\nI do not know a female called Shap-lok. I have been treasury comprador 14 years. Wo-hang is a partner in the Pawn-broker's shop. I did not see any one ask Wo-hang to pay his share of the Money. There are entries in the account of the money expended, but it only states how much has been expended on the case of the watch being pawned by mistake. I do not know if Mrs Caldwell has a sister by blood or adoption; I never go to Tai-ping Shan, and do not know about that matter.\n\n## LOW SING-KEÉT,--Called and examined.\n\nI was managing shopman and have a share in the Foo-T'ai pawnbroker's firm. I recollect one of my partners being convicted of having received a stolen Gold Watch. After his conviction I was engaged in getting some seals put to the petition for his pardon. Shap-lok a female came to the shop when Ch'o On was present. She told Ch'o On to ask people to save the prisoner, and also that if the affairs should be completed, shoe-money, i.e. a present, should be given to Shap-lok. She spoke to Ch'o On, and I heard from Ch'o On that the sum of $450 was to be paid to her by him. When the conversation took place, I was not at home, but was sent for and told of it by Ch'o On, who said that Shap-lok was able to perform the business; and that $450 would have to be paid her.\n\nI do not know what was to be done for it. Ch'o On said that it was to be paid when my partner's business was settled. This was after the conviction, but I cannot recollect exactly when. The money was paid after the conversation; I was present, and handed the money over to Ch'o On. It was paid, $100 in Bank Notes, and $350 in Silver. I do not know what Shap-lok was to do with the $450, and do not know how she was to perform this business; it was Ch'o On who spoke to her. Ch'o On was security for the amount but only by promise.\n\nCh'o On's hand, and he paid it to Shap-lok. I do not know Shap-lok, nor where she lives, nor what her occupation is, have not heard what she is, nor to whom she is related. Besides the $450, there was money paid to Lawyers; I do not recollect how much; it was paid through Ch'o On. Mr Gaskell was lawyer; I did not accompany Ch'o On to make the payment to him.\n\nI did not hear my partner say anything about $800 to be given to Shap-lok, he only spoke of $450. I do not know why this woman was able to do anything in the matter. I was ordered by Ch'o On who has a large share in the business, to pay the money.\n\nThere were other persons present who saw me hand the money over to Ch'o On; I have no doubt of it. There is probably an entry of this payment in the books. I left at that time, and a person named Lum took my place.\n\n## CHARLES MAY,-Recalled.\n\nI produce the charge sheet in the case of Beaver, also that in the case of Boggs. [In the charge sheet 23d October, 1857, there is an entry,\" Henry Beaver, barkeeper at the Commercial Hotel, being charged by Mr Caldwell with federating with pirates; a paper mentioned as found upon his person; the charge was taken by John Roberts and was brought before Mr May as Acting Assistant Magistrate, by whom he was remanded for re-examination on the 31st, and was to be admitted to bail, such bail to consist of two householders in £100 each,”]-\n\nIt will be in the recollection of the Committee that at the beginning of the inquiry, reference was made to the Suwong Wo and to Mr Caldwell paying some amount of ground-rent into the Colonial Treasury on account of marine lot 33 D, the receipt mentioning from the Sunon Wo. I know that the Sunon Wo is a house belonging to the Sunon people, bought out of the public funds of the Sunon people, and that this house was in the hands of Ma-chow Wong as the head in Hongkong of the Sunon people. Owing to the increased value of house property in that neighbourhood, it has of late years been of great value. I have heard within the last two or three months that there has been a dispute between the Elders of the Sunon people and Ma-chow Wong concerning this property, and that placards have been posted up on the subject.\n\nI mean by the Sunon people the residents of Fok Shan coming from that district, chiefly the poor class, fishing and boat people. Many of them are fishermen employed in the markets. I have always been led to consider them as a lot of the worst people here. I do not know of any ruler of the District in Sunon. Ma-chow Wong is the only person I know of who has had any concern with them here.\n\nExamined with reference to charges 18 and 19. Some six or seven years back, perhaps. Mr Caldwell...\n\nWo-hang is a partner in the firm, and he was asked to pay his share. I went to inform him, and his relation also informed him; he mentioned to me, amongst other circumstances of his case, about him. He did not say anything; he was busy at the time. I did not ask him to sign a paper promising to pay.\n\nWhen the money was paid, Tong Kwong-sin, Lum Ayee, myself, and Ch'o On were present. The money was paid into...\n\n...career, that when at Singapore he was a member of a Secret Society. I do not know whether it was Malay or Chinese. The conversation was about the power of the Secret Societies at Singapore. More was said on the point, but everything but the particular fact of Mr Caldwell telling...\n\n...the Opium Farm Ordinance of this year, and not to the new Registration Ordinance. I am quite certain that I should...\n\nWith reference to charge 19: Upon another occasion, I should fancy three or four years ago, Mr Caldwell mentioned to me that if he did not receive presents with his own hands he should not object to his wife receiving them. I...\n\n...that it would be considered the same if discovered. Whether he took them or whether his wife took them. His reply was to the effect-with a significant laugh, “I should like to know how any one could find it out.\" I mentioned these circumstances to the Hon'ble the Attorney General at the time.\n\n## THE ATTORNEY GENERAL,-Recalled at his own request.\n\nAccording to Ordinances 1 and 12 of 1845, which are still unrepealed, Mr May is perfectly correct as to the duty of himself and Mr Caldwell of putting down all Secret Societies, impracticable as that duty may be. If the Commission really wish to know from a better authority than Mr May what are the laws of the Triad Society, I can refer them to the document itself.\n\nI presume this so-called charge (18) refers to what I said on the 10th May in the Legislative Council, when challenged by Dr Bridges to explain my allusion to Mr Caldwell's antecedents before his Chinese career began. My own account of them as given to Mr May was, that he had been a member of a Secret Society, and, as I understood, amongst the Chinese at Singapore.\n\nI know that all Secret Societies amongst the Chinese at Singapore, and any connection with such, are illegal by law of Singapore, for I have read it-eternal hostility to all foreigners, Tartar included, being at the bottom of them.\n\nWith regard to the other charge (19), I confirm Mr May's statement as to the conversation and assertions of Mr Caldwell's entire innocence from the Hon'ble the Acting Colonial Secretary, only observing, that it was apropos of the Opium Farm Ordinance then in Committee.\n\nI had heard so much of the connection subsisting between the Caldwell family and the markets and the passage and harbour boats and particularly a scheme for a monopoly of the former, which had been projected in 1857, but which I had been mainly instrumental in preventing from taking effect, that I was determined to prevent, if I could, any of the family or their people from having anything to do with that tremendous machinery which the new Opium Farm Ordinance was about to bring into play, and I therefore moved the disqualifying clause.\n\nCross-examined-I am not certain about the objects of the Triad Society. The rules bind the members to aid each other in obtaining some ends which I am not certain about, and to assist each other in carrying out enterprises under certain penalties, these penalties being the loss of life by various ways, and that each member is bound to carry out the verdict of the select of the society against any erring member, even to the extent of destroying his father, mother, child, or any relative. I wish to disclaim any belief on my part, or any idea, that Mr Caldwell told me that he was a member of the Triad Society. I recollect at one time there was a notion that Triads were very much to be feared, and to be driven out of the Colony; but the Triads never did any harm, and the feeling against them died away. There have been a dozen seizures of persons attending Triad meetings at Hongkong. Sometimes they were made by myself, sometimes by Mr Caldwell, and sometimes by Mr Inglis.\n\nI have heard that the Malays have a Secret Society, but do not know its name.\n\nThe part which refers to the Secret Society at Singapore mentioned at some subsequent date, because the Attorney General told me that when he made allusion to the repute and antecedents of Mr Caldwell, he met with violent opposition and assertions of Mr Caldwell's entire innocence from the Hon'ble the Acting Colonial Secretary.\n\nAn amendment was made to the words, \"wife and family\" by the Acting Colonial Secretary, and then it was I made the observation to which Mr May has today referred and which seemed to satisfy the Legislative Council, viz., that in this Colony oppressions and corruptions were tolerated in the Chinese wife, which could not be ventured with impunity by the European husband. That clause has been since adopted in at least three ordinances subsequently passed. I gave ready credit to Mr May's statement of Mr Caldwell's words, and the rather because my duty and that of Mr Caldwell's to put down all Secret Societies. So far as I have been enabled to learn, the rules of the Triad Society are such as I have stated.\n\nHaving twice experienced the indignity of an offer of a bribe as Attorney General, since my arrival, once personally by a Chinaman who spoke English, and once through my Comprador, by a Chinaman who could not speak English, I took effectual measures to prevent a recurrence, and I had the entire sanction of the Chief Justice for the course I took in the first case, and no doubt...",

        "content_text": "## (89) \n496 \n\nthe Police Court, if Mr May had not been there. Pré was certainly not equal to such a case. \n\n## Mr Grand \nI recollect, although I had quite forgotten it until shortly before this Commission commenced sitting, that Mr May lent me his \"memoranda\" for two or three days. As I found they had nothing immediately to do with the cases under investigation, which were already cumbered enough, I told Mr May that I thought he had better say nothing about them until some occasion should arise on which they would be clearly useful. I recollect also, when the efforts for obtaining a pardon for Ma-chow Wong were going on, that Mr May again asked me if he should mention them to the Government. As by that time I had learnt that Mr May was supposed to be actuated by jealous and hostile feelings towards Mr Caldwell, and as also the Government were in possession of the originals from which the memoranda were taken, I told Mr May that I should certainly not volunteer their production to the Government. I must confess, however, that my recollection of the memoranda is very imperfect indeed, and that they never made the strong impression upon me which they ought to have done. \n\n## JOHN SCARTH, Esq., a Member of the Commission \nCalled at his own request. \nI wish to make the following statement, as my name has been mentioned several times in the evidence and before the Commission. \n\nWhen the disturbances began in Canton at the end of 1856, a man came to me and told me that some pirate boats were said to have been taken outside by some of the ships of war, but that the boats were not pirate but rebel boats. He stated that he felt sure that Ma-chow Wong was using his influence against the men, and requested me to endeavour to have some inquiry made, as he heard the men were going to be given over to the Mandarins. My informant was one of the Shanghae rebels. I went to the Police Office and saw Mr Grand-Pré and Mr May. The bulk of the statement was heard by Mr Grand-Pré; Mr May came in just as I concluded. I told him that I had been told that Ma-chow Wong, who was formerly in close connection with the so-called rebels who held Shanghae, had turned against them, having been bribed by the Mandarins with a blue button and white buntos which they would find in the house of one of his wives. I did not notice any particular effect produced by Mr Caldwell's presence on the bench at the commencement of Ma-chow Wong's case. I did mention to the Acting Colonial Secretary, that I thought Mr Caldwell had better not sit on the bench during the enquiry against Ma-chow Wong, as he was likely to injure the rebels as much as he could. I said: but I did not speak at all strongly; and the Acting Colonial Secretary immediately said, “Oh, I have arranged about that; only, if anything very strong is said about him in Court, I hope you will send for him.\" Mr Stace brought up Ma-chow Wong's bail after his commitment. Lai Sze-kai was not one on that occasion. I really am afraid to say anything about my recollection of the contents of the memoranda; I recollect that their general nature has been correctly described. \n\nI was afterwards informed that several sailors had been kidnapped in a systematic manner, by engaging them in Lorchas and then handing them over to the Chinese Authorities for the rewards for heads. I went immediately and reported the circumstance to Mr Caldwell, requesting him to make it public, so as to prevent a repetition of such occurrences. I never heard anything more about it, until Mr Wade's translation of the papers found at Namtow proved that men had been taken. \n\nI rather think that there is a notice in Chinese characters outside the Magistracy that bribery is not allowed. \n\nI recollect in the debate on the Registration Ordinance, in Council, that the Governor said an order had been given to do something—I did not hear what—in reference to not proceeding with the second indictment; and I heard the Attorney General say, \"Nobody in the world has power to give such an order;\" but I cannot say whether the words \"Nolle prosequi\" were used. \n\nMy impression from what was said in Council on the 10th and 14th of May certainly was, that His Excellency and the Acting Colonial Secretary were convinced that Mr Caldwell had cleared himself from the charges then brought against him, and that there was no need of further inquiry. \n\nMy strong impression is, that I did hear the Acting Colonial Secretary say in debate, that he saw no harm in Caldwell's servants being interested in brothels, and, on being reminded that it might lead to improper persons being licensed to keep brothels, I certainly think I did hear him say... \n\n[The Chairman intimated that no further evidence being tendered in support of the charges, the Commission would proceed at the next meeting to hear Mr Caldwell's defence.]\n\n## TWENTY THIRD DAY \nWednesday, 14th July, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon. \n| Present | \n| --- | \n| All the Members | \n\nMr Caldwell being called on for his defence, made the following statement: \n\nThe only difficulty which presents itself to me in replying to the accusations brought against me by the Honourable the Attorney General and the Superintendent of Police is that, arising from the great volume of the depositions. It is that a person, inexperienced as I am in dissecting evidence, may, in going over the evidence of more than 40 witnesses, covering about 100 printed pages, omit some point apparently telling against himself, but capable of easy explanation. Should such prove to be the case, the Commission will, I trust, direct my attention to any charge not dealt with by me, for it is my desire to flinch from no portion of this extraordinary investigation. \n\nCharge No. 4 rests entirely upon the recollection by Mr Inglis of an isolated fact, which is supposed to have taken place about 14 years ago. The evidence adduced by me as to the date of the birth of my first child, and the situation of certain localities, will, I am certain, when added to the positive testimony of Mrs Caldwell and myself, convince the Commission that Mr Inglis has undesignedly made a mistake.\n\nCharge No. 5: It will hardly be necessary for me to detail at length the evidence which must have convinced the Commission, that although nominally I appeared in the Crown Books the owner of certain property in this Colony, yet that such was not in reality the case, and that my original statement on the subject, so much attacked by Mr Anstey, was the simple truth. \n\nCharge No. 14 has not, I believe, been attempted to be proved. \n\nBefore proceeding to the evidence, I must notice who and what the witnesses are who have been called in support of the charges. There is hardly one of any importance who can be considered independent or unbiassed. But there are Mr Anstey and Mr May, both on their trial equally with myself; Roberts and Lyons, who have, within the last three weeks, received great promotion in the Police Force on Mr May's recommendation; Assow, the Interpreter; then, Mr May's Lokong, and Yoong Ayoong, Mr May's own servant. \n\nOn these seven does the case for the prosecution mainly rest; and wherever an attempt has been made to travel beyond them, it has resulted in a contradiction or a break-down. \n\nCharge No. 15: Mr May comes forward in support of this charge, and states the fact to have been within his own knowledge; he is to a certain degree supported by Mr Woods, but the evidence of the latter is neutralised by his statement that all Tai-ping-shan houses were at the time brothels, which certainly was not the case, and Mr Woods assigns another reason for his belief. Mr May's testimony has been so unsatisfactory throughout this inquiry, that no reliance can, I trust, be placed upon him when unsupported; and I beg most solemnly to deny, that I have ever at any time been the owner of any brothels in this colony; and if the Commission require it, I am prepared to prove the untruth of Mr May's statement, in the most satisfactory manner. \n\nCharge No. 16: If Assow the Interpreter could be believed, this charge might be considered as made out. But the attempt to produce such a witness as Assow, and the gross untruths he has been convicted of, when produced, will, I hope, be considered by the Commission an important feature in the whole case. The groundless assertion that Shaplok is Mrs Caldwell's sister by adoption, rests on Assow's statement, and is denied by my wife and myself; but when Assow attempts to prove that Shaplok, within a certain time, kept a brothel in a certain street, which he personally visited, he is convicted of falsehood by Eep Awong, Foong Afie, Soong Ahing, and Wong Aping—and Mr Mitchell fixes an additional stigma on him. Mr May has evidently relied much on this witness, and it would have been worth his while to have ascertained his real character from Mr Mitchell before he was included among the seven witnesses. \n\nCharge No 17: No attempt has ever been made, I believe, to fully prove any receipt of rack-rents by me. I have fully explained to the Commission the circumstances under which Mrs Caldwell looks after her sister's property. But the mixing up of brothel-holding with this question of property is a malicious charge, for which there was never at any time any pretext.\n\nI will now proceed to go through the Charges, dividing them into three classes. \nEmbracing charges 2, 4, 5, 14, 15, 16, 17. \n-8, 8, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. 46–1, 28, 19. \n\nMr May having, through his servant, made inquiries of the tenant of a rice shop as to its owner, says that I was the owner of the adjoining house, not a syllable having in reality passed between the parties as to such brothel. I must also remark, that Lum Aleen was attempted to be brought forward...",

        "content_text": "498 \n\n( 92 ) \n\ngiven on this point. And further, as regards these 72 men, the information given to me, and on which I acted, was that of three men who had nothing whatever to say to Ma-chow Wong as far as I am aware. They went with us in the Niger to identify the boats, one being the father of a man then a prisoner with these people. The information given was to the effect that nine men had been put to death the day before, and the other prisoners were to be executed that day.\n\nThat the Registrar General, or any other official in this colony, can of his own power arrest and discharge persons, or confiscate or restore their property, is a simple impossibility; and I will not presume to occupy the time of the Commission by pointing out the absurdity involved in charge No 7. I am not aware that any evidence has been adduced in support of it, but I may as well state that on no single occasion has any arrest been made by me without either the accused being brought before the Magistrate in the usual course, or in cases under the Peace and Security Ordinance, without a specific report being at once made to His Excellency the Governor on the subject. I have no power to confiscate or restore any property, and have never done so except under orders from my superiors.\n\nI am certain that Ma-chow Wong had nothing at all to say to the gold dust case, and the securities given in connection with it. Even Mr May himself will, I think, now admit that his original evidence on the subject was incorrect. Instead of Mr May handing it over to me with strong moral observations, and in the presence of Ma-chow Wong, Mr Grand Pre is proved to have given it to me when both Mr May and Ma-chow Wong were absent. The question as to whether the gold dust should be appropriated by the Government, as suggested by Mr May, or handed over to certain petitioners, having been decided by His Excellency the Governor, I simply obeyed the instructions I received. But with regard to the subsequent applicant, it may not be useless to observe that he came to my office, that I sent for two of the securities - Apang and Foong-shan, and that upon inquiry it came out that he had lost dollars at the time of the piracy, but had never been possessed of any gold dust at all. Mr May constantly sees Foong-shan at the Supreme Court, where he is Shroff. Mr May knew that Foong-shan was one of the securities, as I gave Mr May the security papers myself, and therefore a very little investigation on Mr May's part would have spared the Commission much needless trouble on this point.\n\nTing-wa-ping's evidence stood unimpeached on any point, and goes to prove that I repeatedly refused to receive anything for official services performed by me, but that Mrs Caldwell, in my absence, did accept a sum of $100 as a free will offering. If this occurred, and with my consent either tacitly or otherwise, I think that I should be liable to censure as a Government servant; but I beg leave to deny most emphatically that this witness has given a true narrative against my character. Although, strange to say, Mr Anstey, the accuser general, was here during at least half the time. But I do say most confidently that it is false that any such feeling of terror exists. Were there any causes of complaint, would they not have been attracted long ere now by the bitter hostility of Mr Anstey, the self-avowed conscientious desires of Mr May for the public good, or the unscrupulous partizanship of the subordinate partners in this conspiracy against me?\n\nThe Tin charge, upon investigation, appears to have rested upon as little foundation as the gold dust and many other charges. Mr Mitchell was in the first instance very positive as to his statements, without having taken the trouble to refresh his memory by referring to the original documents in his office. Mr Mitchell has now amended his original statement, and the depositions and Jarman's evidence have satisfactorily established that there was no want of proper vigilance or activity on my part. In reality, it was a matter in which I took more than a usual amount of trouble, and the strict letter of the law was, I believe, stretched to recover the stolen property, and it is with considerable surprise that I find it revived after three years for the purposes of this prosecution.\n\nThe course pursued with regard to Boggs' paper will, I think, throw much light upon the manner in which charges have been attempted to be got up against me under this Commission. Relying upon the probability that Boggs would endorse any statement to my prejudice, Lyons, whom Mr May owns to having advised as to the mode of getting up evidence, imagines himself to have heard a letter read, connecting me with Ma-chow Wong and Boggs, and which letter ought to be in my handwriting: then visits Boggs in the Gaol, and the charge is started; but where it starts it falls. Boggs does not supply the wanting links. Mr Grand-Pre has seen the letter, and read it, and so did the Attorney General if he would but say so; for Boggs and Mr Grand-Pre prove it was read in his presence, and it had no more reference to me than to any one of the Hon'ble Commission. This would be bad enough, but Mr Market Inspector Roberts must needs come to the support of Mr Deputy Inspector Lyons, and revive the dying slander to its original heat. Roberts had also been taken into council by Mr May. Both Roberts and Lyons have been, during the Commission, promoted by Mr May's means.\n\nSuch a charge as the one numbered 8 is easily brought and somewhat difficult of disproof, on account of its intangible nature, but did it not occur to my accuser that there was nothing between July 1855, and November 1856, to prevent or intimidate any man, whether Chinese or not, from bringing charges against me? I held no official position; I was but the Captain of a coasting steamer, there appeared no probability of my returning to office, and yet during those seventeen months, who complained or said a word against my character?\n\nBy Klings, with ludicrous ignorance, Mr Anstey means half-caste Chinese, or Chinese born in the Straits. The Commission will hardly need to be informed by me that Klings are simply Madrasses. Did ever any one, but Mr May, hear of Malays forming secret societies? Certainly no one connected with Singapore, and I am convinced no one anywhere else, it being entirely contrary to their spirit and customs. When it is remembered that I was not 17 when I left Singapore, that I could not speak a word of the Chinese language then, nor for many months after, I am not likely to be connected with a secret society, and so does the Chairman of this Commission, and I hold the proud position of Master for the year of it - the Zetland Lodge of Freemasons.\n\nIf so, it has signally failed. Whether or not Shaplok or Cho On did, or did not, get $400 or $450 from these pawnbrokers, is a fact for which I cannot be in any way responsible, unless I was art or part in the matter, which I most earnestly deny. The Commission will remember that no connection has been proved between my family and Shaplok, that the latter has been for some time out of the Colony, and therefore cannot be produced here. Wohang denies having heard my name, or that of my wife, at all in the matter. Tong Kwong-sin and Low Shing-keet both were present at the payment, but up to its taking place, know nothing of their own knowledge of the circumstances which led to it; and the latter states himself to have been even ignorant of what was to be done for it. They neither of them heard Cho On mention my being in any way concerned, with one exception, and that is with reference to a statement made by Cho On. Cho On denies everything connected with the matter. Even if my name had been distinctly mentioned, and money fraudulently obtained on the strength of it, is not that a circumstance to which any public officer may be exposed, not only in this Colony, but elsewhere? The crime is not an unfrequent one, and it has occurred to me before, and I have prosecuted to conviction, before the Supreme Court.\n\nWith regard to the matter of the Eaglet, I shall say nothing more than that the statements of her officers given to the Commission are substantially correct, with the exception that I went in my boat out of curiosity, and the amount paid for taking the Mandarins to the village was $2,000.\n\nI should but needlessly occupy the time of the Hon'ble Commission with refuting charge No. 10. The prosecution here is based on a misconception, and my best defence is that the premises upon which it was brought were erroneous, and actually occurred. While chatting in a friendly way with Mr May in my own house, my wife and some others being present, I said, \"It is a great shame; the next time I shall ask them to give it to my wife.\" This was all that took place; and these trifling words, treasured up for four years by the conscientious Mr May, are reproduced as indicating a willingness on my part to consent to my own wife taking bribes.\n\nI have to thank the Commission for having, by limiting my power of cross-examination, prevented me from entering upon one line of defence, which would have almost degraded me to the same level as that on which Messrs Anstey and May now lie. Goaded beyond endurance by the attacks on my wife, and the unscrupulous betrayal of the confidence of friendly intercourse, I was tempted to retaliate and drag the details of their private morals before you, but I have been spared this error. Let them not, however, suppose that having informed Mr May that I deem such as theirs can pass without notice, and although I will not even in my own defence imitate their example, in which it was brought by the Attorney General, I deny this charge altogether. My proofs are ready, and can be produced whenever required.\n\nAnd now I have done: I shall call no witnesses unless the Commission require them, because it appears to me that nothing remains which requires explanation or disproof.",

I hand in some testimonials for my past services as the evidence of absent superiors, and submit myself to the impartial justice of this Honourable Commission, upon the charges referred to them.\n\n[Mr Caldwell handed in and read several letters received at various periods between the 11th December, 1846, and the 28th March, 1857, from the Naval, Colonial, and Home authorities, expressing their high appreciation of his services, especially in the suppression of piracy.]\n\nExamined with reference to the arrest of A. ssow, the Interpreter. With regard to the statement by Assow as to his arrest, I state to-day, that I was not aware of his arrest until I heard of it here. I had heard on the morning, of the fact of two men being apprehended for the robbery and possession of a barometer; and about 2 o'clock that same day, while in Mr Lapraik's shop, I overheard a gentleman explaining to him that, besides the barometer which he had lost a few days before, he had that morning missed a clock. When he got that far, one of my servants came in and said that I was wanted immediately. On going home, Mrs Caldwell gave me a Chinese letter written \"important\" outside. I opened it, and found it was an anonymous letter to the effect that a man had been taken in custody for having stolen a barometer, and who had also on a previous occasion stolen a musical box; that both these articles had been sold to Assow the interpreter, (the document calling him by his common name of Pock-marked Sow,) the former for $4, and the latter for $16; and that if I made haste and searched the room of a prostitute kept by Assow, named Pat-mui, whose room in a registered brothel faced the top of the staircase, I should find the musical box there. Knowing the speed with which all information from the Central Police Station and the Police Court flies through the city, I, without going to the Central Police Station for a Constable, started off immediately to search this room. Finding neither the musical box nor the girl Pat-mui, I asked the mistress of the brothel where she was. She pointed to the house opposite and said she was there. I asked for Pat-mui, and told her I wanted to search her room, which I did, but did not find the musical box; although when I mentioned about the musical box which Assow had brought there one of the women said, \"He took it home two days ago.\" I did not consider it prudent to search the house where his wife lives, and I immediately went to the Central Station and informed Mr Jarman of all I knew of the matter, and advised him to be careful and listen to what the prisoner said when he was questioning him. I do not know from whom the anonymous letter came. I have it yet, and can produce it.\n\nCross-examined, on his defence.--As to Mr May getting up evidence by means of Lyons and Roberts, I refer to Mr May's own evidence, and also to that of Lyons and Roberts. Lyons, who was formerly Sergeant of Police and Inspector of Nuisances, has been promoted to be Deputy Inspector of Police; and Roberts, from Deputy Inspector of Police to be Assistant or Deputy Inspector of Markets. Those promotions must have been approved of, but perhaps His Excellency is ignorant of what has transpired in this Commission.\n\nI should think that these promotions would certainly be made upon Mr May's recommendation, he being their immediate superior. I do not know how the Acting Colonial Secretary acted in the matter. I cannot say whether Lyons, who was a Sergeant of Police, and Acting as Inspector of Nuisances, could have been removed from the latter office without the sanction of the Surveyor General. My impression is that he was only lent to the Surveyor General's Department, and could have been recalled by Mr May for other purposes.\n\n[The Chairman, as Surveyor General, here states, that the Inspector of Nuisances is attached to that department, and is entirely under the orders of the Surveyor General, and not directly under those of the Superintendent of Police; and is also on the pay-list of the Surveyor General's Department.]\n\nThe property sold to Lum Ateen has been transferred. Mr Stace told me so yesterday or the day before, and requested me to tell Lum Ateen that he could get the bills of sale endorsed upon application to him.\n\nI was never in the employ of Akwai of the Lower Bazaar. On the contrary, Akwai was in the employ of the Commissariat Department of the expeditionary force, of which I was head Assistant, and had the sole control.\n\nAt the time of Ma-chow Wong's trial, the lorcha Kee-loong-poo-on was not registered in my name in the Colonial Secretary's Office. The lorcha was not in my possession on his apprehension. I gave up my interest in the Kee-loong-poo-on lorcha in the latter end of October 1856, as mentioned in my statement of to-day. At this time the lorcha was down in the Gulf of Tonquin, chartered. She did not return to Hongkong until some time in April, 1857, as can be ascertained from the Harbour Master's list of arrivals. I immediately procured the Register from the Harbour Master, and had it cancelled at the Colonial Secretary's Office.\n\nI am aware that the two political prisoners in the treason case, who were interested in the apprehension of the murderers at Stanley, were evidently trying to bring forward Ma-chow Wong in the matter; so much so that they suggested to me that Ma-chow Wong would go with me to Stanley, and point out the persons connected with the murder. Mr Inglis was present at every one of the interviews I had with these people, and I put the question to him, when he was here being examined the other day, whether I did not object to take Ma-chow Wong with me; and I did so for the very reason that I saw plainly they were trying to assist him as well as themselves; and further, that Ma-chow Wong had never lived in Stanley before, and could not have pointed out the people.\n\n(95)\n\nI did make particular reference to the Rebel chiefs, but I did not to the two men referred to by the Attorney General and Mr Cooper Turner as having been deported, because by the Attorney General's own evidence, it will appear that the men were only remanded upon my bringing a specific charge against them, and not committed under the Deportation Ordinance. I wish further to state, that having no hand in the matter of the deportation at all, was entirely ignorant of who were or were not to be deported.\n\nAlthough I was in the habit of consulting Ma-chow Wong in piracy cases, I did not consult him in the case of the 72 pirates handed over at Kowloong. There was no necessity for so doing, as the informants came to me direct.\n\nSome 16 officers in all were on board the Eaglet from daylight that morning, until about eight the same night, and about 150 sailors and marines. I was obliged to supply the whole of the wounded men with the mattresses belonging to the saloon of the steamer, all of which were entirely destroyed, being saturated with oil poured over the wounded men to keep their wounds cool; and as the officers came without any provision for the day, I had to supply them with two meals and refreshments, and from that time up to the present moment I have never received even a word of thanks for all that service from anybody.\n\nI am glad now to have the opportunity of giving publicity to the services rendered by me, and of which not the slightest notice was ever taken. Sometime in 1855, I think in the month of August, I was on my way in the Eaglet from Macao to Hongkong. I think the day previously I had parted from a convoy of 92 Chinese vessels, lorchas, junks, and others, from Hainan—and on nearing the South Western point of Lantao, I saw 15 piratical vessels, which had just captured three of my convoy, and had them in custody at the time. I recognized three—one of them a lorcha; they held the English flag over the stern. I altered my course towards them, thinking that the pirates might be intimidated and let them go.\n\nOn the contrary, three of the largest junks immediately altered their course, and bore down on the steamer, making every preparation for an attack. I immediately altered my course for Hongkong, and reported the circumstance to the Senior Naval Officer, Captain Fellowes, of H.M.S. Rattler. I consented to go with Captain Fellowes the next day myself—and went with him in the Rattler, and after the 4th day, chased the pirates into Kulan, the convoy junks being still with them. I informed Captain Fellowes that they would consider themselves quite safe from the shallowness of the water as we could not get near them, and I told him, if he liked, I would place the Eaglet at his disposal. We immediately returned to Hongkong. I took in coal and provisions, took three of the American steamer Powhattan's boats astern, having all their crews numbering about 100 men on board the Eaglet, made fast astern of the Rattler and proceeded down to Kulan. At daylight the next morning, I took the three boats belonging to the Powhattan and the four belonging to the Rattler in tow of the Eaglet, the Rattler being anchored in deep water, and took the Eaglet into Kulan Bay myself. We found the bay deserted, but knowing the land in that locality perfectly well, I discovered, under a point of land about six miles off, the mastheads of a number of Chinese vessels, and immediately steered for them. As we approached, two guns were fired at us from the junks, which was answered by a rocket put on board the Eaglet from the Ordnance Department, on which the boats left the Eaglet and pulled in. Another rocket and a shot fired from the Eaglet as the boats were pulling in caused them to get up their anchors and sails, and go farther up the lagoon into shallow water. I remained with the Eaglet to protect the entrance, the Rattler being then some seven miles off, and after a desperate resistance, in which six men were killed and about a dozen wounded on our side, 18 junks were captured and destroyed, and seven trading vessels, including the three which I had originally seen in the hands of the pirates, were liberated.\n\nI cannot say positively whether I presented the petition in the gold dust case, but it is very likely it came through me, because the Colonial Secretary refuses all Chinese petitions unless they come through me.\n\nI do not think that I have stated that Mr May knew of Lyons's visit to the Gaol.\n\nI think this was the only occasion on which I gave such information to the Government, and I cannot recollect any piracy cases in which I have appeared at the Police Court. I certainly never appeared in any to give evidence either for or against the prisoners.\n\nIn the case of the Pawnbrokers, and the $400 said to have been paid to Shaplok: Wohang came to my office one day, and said that Mr Lane was in his house on one occasion, when he was asked to subscribe his share to the payment of $400 to Shaplok, and that Mr Lane advised him not to do anything of the sort; that he was afterwards sent for by Mr Anstey, who told him what Mr Lane had said to him, and asked him if it was true. I immediately said, \"What has that got to do with me?\" And he then said, \"Oh, but she said the money would be paid to you,\" I laughed at it, and said, \"This is the first I have heard of it then;\" and I said \"Mind, I shall expect you to prove what you now say;\" he immediately turned round and said that it was not his affair, he could not prove it; that he did not pay the money, that it was paid by one of the partners of the shop who had gone to Canton, and that he was merely asked to contribute his share, being a partner. I told him I should certainly question Shaplok as soon as I could find her, and I supposed his partner could always be forthcoming if wanted. I think he then remarked, that he considered it his duty to come and tell me this, and I said that I would not forget it. I have taken every means to find Shaplok, and I know the Police are doing the same, for they have searched her house within the last three days. I inquired...",

        "content_text": "500 \n\n(96) \n\nabout Shaplok the same afternoon that Wohang came to Mrs Caldwell would answer her, that is all I can say. She never came as a friend to the house. I did not communicate with the Government or Police about it.\n\nIt is impossible for me to say whether Ch'o On would or would not pay $400 to Shaplok without thinking she had someone to back her. He has been fifteen years in Government service, and I should think that he would not be so stupid as to pay any money at all.\n\nI am quite ignorant of the circumstances relative to the capture or attempt at breach of the blockade of the Canton River of the boat to which the pass was granted mentioned by the Attorney General, in page 73.\n\nI have given many of such passes, so it is impossible for me to tell about this particular one.\n\nI did not consider it necessary to cross-examine Mr May upon his statement regarding my telling him about my wife receiving presents, because I considered the inference drawn from the words spoken by me was so absurd that I did not think it necessary.\n\nI did not know Po-pak-shing as a notorious pirate at the time I went on board his boat; I never heard of his name until that time.\n\nI most solemnly declare that I only know that the Sinon Wo ground lot is in the Lower Bazaar because it is marine lot 33. I suppose that Sinon Wo is the lessee's name. I do not think that Ma-chow Wong is the owner. I know he used to have the management. When this Sunon man (referred to in page 59) came and asked me about the increased rental of the lot, I knew that Ma-chow Wong had been connected with the Sinon Wo. I am sure that the land, so far as I have heard, did not belong to Ma-chow Wong. From what I have heard, Ma-chow Wong was the head of some committee of management; there were others.\n\nMr May's statement of the misunderstandings between us is correct. We have had no others. I do not consider Ma-chow Wong's conviction chiefly owing to the exertions of Mr May, but to the public mind and that of the jury being prejudiced against him by the local papers. Mr May did not, to my knowledge, apply for my reinstatement in Government employ. I did consider, and I am now more fully confident, that Mr May had a vindictive feeling towards me at the time of conducting the case of Ma-chow Wong connected with it. I do most decidedly deny the existence of any connection in any sense whatever, whether by blood, age, or adoption, between myself and Ma-chow Wong. I have particular reasons for not wishing to give my grounds for such belief on this occasion. As I have already stated in my evidence today, these reasons may form the subject of future complaints by me.\n\nWong is an inferior man, not an equal, and I consider this fact certain that nothing would give Mr May more pleasure than to see the situation of Registrar General become vacant for him by my dismissal, thereby making a villainous attempt to injure my reputation.\n\nThe very fact that the woman Awoon (who was not the wife of Ma-chow Wong, being some years younger than him) makes Inglis's statement of less value, because it is entirely according to Chinese usage or custom for a young woman to adopt a man older than herself as her son.\n\nAdjourned till Friday, the 16th, at 12 o'clock.\n\nTWENTY FOURth Day,\nFriday, 16th July, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members.\n\nHon. H. T. DAVIES,-Recalled at his own request to explain a part of his previous evidence.\n\nMr Caldwell is no doubt correct in stating that he did not procure the sureties for Ma-chow Wong; but when I said that I should require them, and that I would take their recognizances as soon as their validity had been ascertained, Mr Caldwell said \"they are here now,\" and pointed out some men. I asked him whether he guaranteed their validity, and upon his saying that he did, I took them at once.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL,-Cross-examination continued.\n\nI deny that any intercourse whatever has been kept up between any member of my family and Shaplok. She has been many times to my house to see me on business of different kinds, and as a matter of course, she has also seen Mrs Caldwell and spoken to her. I wish to state that when I married Mrs Caldwell, when she was converted, I threw off all Chinese connections. Shaplok came to me only on business matters officially. I suppose if she spoke to Mrs Caldwell...\n\nAfter the time of his apprehension and trial, I found Ma-chow Wong to be an honest man, and I believe that he always was an honest man up to his apprehension.\n\nWith regard to the case mentioned by Mr May in page 39, in which Ma-chow Wong is charged with resisting the Police, I refer the Commission to my letter to the Clerk of Councils dated 5th October, 1857. With regard to Mr May's statement in page 39, that a wealthy Chinaman came to him in secrecy and terror to complain of the manner in which petitions for Ma-chow Wong's pardon were got up; the rich Chinaman I believe to be Tam Achoy, and at my letter of 5th October last, I show why I think he had hostile feelings towards Ma-chow Wong. This I referred to at the time of Mr May's statement. The Commissioners must be mistaken in thinking that I said I would prove the petition in question related to another matter altogether.\n\nPang Wa-ping paid to the paymaster of the Rattler about $200 salvage for rescuing his boat, for which the Paymaster gave a receipt, I witnessing it. I saw Chinese documents belonging to Beaver after his apprehension at the Police Station. It was a kind of certificate from Chu Akwei, the Chief, but who styled himself a Rebel, showing that...\n\n(97)\n\n...had been in his employ, and mention was made there that Ma-chow Wong was closely connected with the Shanghae Rebels. I know that he went to Shanghae. I only know that Wong Kee was a man from Kongnam (Keanguan), I believe, to carry out the Rebel movements. I wish to state that the Wong Kee mentioned there was never intended for Ma-chow Wong. Both the characters were entirely different from his name; the Wong was different and the Kee also, and the fact of his being a Leangnan man made it the less likely. Ma-chow Wong was a Sun-on man.\n\nI do not know the man who accompanied Pang Wa-ping. I could make inquiry concerning him, but I am quite certain that Mr Wade may have gone by the sound, not knowing perhaps the characters of Ma-chow Wong's name.\n\nThis was a red paper folded, I think four times, similar to the paper on which petitions are written, but without the blue back to it. On casting my eyes over the document, this name Wong Kee made no impression on me at all, whereas had it been in the characters of Ma-chow Wong's name, I should certainly have been attracted to them. This was the only paper produced as found on Beaver which I saw.\n\nWith regard to the search of Assow's house, the anonymous letter was my only information that a musical box was stolen. I also knew that a man was in custody for stealing a barometer, which was referred to in the letter. Mrs Caldwell did not detain the messenger, and I took no steps to ascertain its author before acting upon it, as it was impossible to do so. I merely asked who brought it, and I was told it was a boy. I do not now know the author. I considered that, as a Justice of the Peace, and particularly...\n\nThe Master of the Masonic Lodge is elected. My predecessors have been gentlemen of unblemished character.\n\nWhile the lorcha Kee-loong-poo-on was in my name, I, as Registrar General, had authority to search the house. I employed her with European masters-Johnson and Ban-croft were the two-I let her out on charter.\n\nLai Szekai still collects the rents for Mrs Caldwell's sister under a lease which he has of the houses.\n\nI accompanied Mr Grand-Pré in searching the boats in one of which Po-pak-shing was; he was there on the spot, and was cognizant of the particulars himself. I was merely there to assist. I did not in any way direct Mr Grand-Pré; I acted as an Interpreter and explained all the matters to him, and examined the Registers and papers of the boats.\n\nI cannot say whether it was in answer to a question from myself, then sitting on the bench, that Mr Grand-Pré gave the answer which convinced the Magistrate as to the men's innocence. I found the Register and papers in order. I think the boat had a Chinese pass from the head of the Marine department at Canton.\n\nI was present with Mr Anstey, Mr Cluff, Mr May, Mr Brachan, and several others at the Debtor's Gaol-yard on the afternoon of the day on which Mr May apprehended the men on Bonham Strand. I was also up at the tread-mill yard on another occasion with Mr Cluff the morning I apprehended some 160 men, and on both these occasions, knowing the rapidity with which all information flies from the Police Court and the Police Station by the emissaries of the Interpreters and the Lokangs, I considered that I was only faithfully performing my public duty in hastening to the house to search for the article. I did not mean to say that I thought it not prudent to search Assow's house. I meant that I thought it useless, as the information would have got there before me.\n\nI know nothing about what Boggs says of the payment of mail by the pirates to Ma-chow Wong. I do not think it likely that pirates could have done so, because on occasions their fleets were attacked by our men. On my information received from Ma-chow Wong, I refer the Commission to mention made about in my letter of 5th October, 1857. I never heard that Ma-chow Wong was connected with the pirates.\n\nI don't recollect whether I wished Assow to interpret at Ma-chow Wong's trial. I have given him a certificate as Chinese and Malay Interpreter. I don't think I have given him one since Ma-chow Wong's trial. I consider honesty as necessary for an Interpreter. I considered him dishonest before his trial.",

Mr. May says in his evidence (p. 17) that \"to his certain knowledge\" Lot 206 was at one time owned by Mrs. Caldwell, then known as \"the three Brothers.\" The Commission having rejected \"charge 18\" as not proven, Mr. Day concludes that they must have disbelieved altogether this positive evidence of Mr. May, for by \"charge 15\", Mr. Caldwell is charged \"with having once kept three unlicensed brothels\" at a time. It is necessary to point out that the evidence of Mr. May may have been perfectly true, that's to say, the houses standing on land at one time owned by Mr. Caldwell (the houses themselves being possibly on lease to other parties) may (perhaps at some other time) have been used as brothels; and yet that the charge may be perfectly false, whereas all that the Commission reports is that it has not been proved.\n\n6. The assertion of Mr. May's, that the destruction of the Memoranda and papers of Au-chow Wong, and of the Books removed the possibility of proving the concluding part of \"charge 11\" appears next to have astonished Mr. May.\n\nThe concluding part of \"charge 11\" is as follows: \"that there were entries in Au-chow Wong's books, made by him, of monies paid to Mr. Caldwell on account of monies paid (or out of the produce of plunder made at sea)\".

        "content_text": "# Report\n\nA false charge against the man, and business tenement of Receiving stolen goods was entertained addressed by one one. Semelied by Mr. Caldwell in person and alone, and upon the unsupported evidence of an anonymous letter in Chinese alleged to have been addressed to Mr. Caldwell, and to have been received from some unknown person by Mrs. Caldwell in her husband's absence, and by her forwarded to him by the same messenger.\n\nThe Report of the Commission condemns the palpable offence against Common Right and justice. But how could the trembling Chinese witnesses, who after the 12th ult. were to be examined, divine from the silence of the Commissioners that their report \"The condemnation for their evidence\" or a similar statement was forthcoming? They listened...\n\nAnother difficulty, and I should have imagined the greatest of all, was the untoward destruction of the famous books and papers of Mak-sho-wong by order of the Acting Colonial Secretary, Dr. Bridges, in the month of March last.\n\nThese documents contained, inter alia, the scandalous particulars entered by Mr. May - \"Memoranda\" (which documents were laid before the Executive Council in October past and have since mysteriously disappeared) and enumerated by me in his letter to the Colonial Secretary of the 13th May.\n\nThat evidence is thoroughly mentioned by the evening of Mr. Dixon, Dr. Bridges himself, Witnesses, Minutes of God... 17th of the 28th, and the Chief Magistrate Mr. Davies, – and I need not remind you that the very day after I was called upon by His Excellency for my present defence, as an ascertainable means of the accuracy of Mr. May's recollection.\n\nLetter to the Colonial Secretary of the 13th May, 1858.\n\nMemoranda, as extracted from the other items, was forwarded by me officially to your Department to be used as evidence there in. Mr. May's reply of the 14th April 1868.\n\nWhereupon, in another case, in connection with that of the convict Mak-sho-wong, Mr. Caldwell's papers... No matter, as I liqued in my letter of the 13th May, whether the entries were made with or without Mak's authority. He knew that they were there and the knowledge diminished in no degree his zeal for the convict. On the contrary, he made those very documents the occasion of a low display of youth. He presented a Report upon them to the Executive Council, affirming that they contained nothing of any consequence, and when confronted with Mr. May and his two Memoranda, persisted in that statement.\n\nThis startling contradiction on Dr. Bridges' part gave immediate birth to another question: apart from Mak-sho-wong, were Mr. Caldwell and Mr. May credible persons? or which of them was not? And the papers were referred to Mr. Wade, who had not made any report before the proceedings were projected to the Public in February.\n\nNow, that painful question of credibility thus raised, and while waiting for a solution, the papers which alone afforded the means to one were destroyed by Dr. Bridges.\n\nAnd the Commission thereupon reported that they thought it crazy to make any other observation \"Regarding Charge lot, than there is no evidence of Mr. Caldwell's having deceived the Executive Council!\"\n\nBut at the very end of their report, and in proper sequence to nothing they had then stated, they further stated...",

But then she adds that according to Chinese usage, good friends call themselves brothers and sisters; which are simply unaccompanied statements.\n\nYet this is one of the charges said to be 'not proved', and are any material mis-statements? \n\nI had stated in my letter of the 12th May 1868, then laid before the Commission, and they left it extinct the least \"changes for themselves they would have been that the above facts completely bear out the incidental statement contained in that letter on the subject of brothel connections, and instead of recording the inconclusive finding of Not Proven they would have used these facts for the purposes to which the statement in question was directed.\n\nEnough, however, on this point. It is not my present duty to examine into the matter. Hereafter, if His Excellency shall think fit to lay the matter before the Executive Council, it will be my duty to see that the investigation is complete.\n\nWhen that time comes, I shall ask the Executive Council to go a little further and then a branch of enquiry to that which as yet I have not touched, a feature which the Minutes of Evidence such as they are, suggest. \n\n## 75 \n\nPage 75",

        "content_text": "That there were no grounds whatever for bringing charges 18 and 19. That there were no grounds whatever for bringing charge 3.\n\nThat with regard to charge 6, a long and intimate connection between Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong has been proved, but that there is no proof of any connection by affinity according to Chinese law or custom.\n\nThat with regard to charge 7, it is proved that Mr Caldwell has been in the habit, on Ma-chow Wong's unsupported information, of arresting persons; but that there is no evidence as to his confiscating or restoring property.\n\nThat as regards charge 8, there is no evidence of any connivance or procurements of Mr Caldwell; but that it is manifest that the Chinese are very averse to give evidence against him.\n\nThat as to charge 9, it has been proved, that Mr Caldwell aided in the acceptance of Sze-kai, his former servant, as Bail for Ma-chow Wong; and that Sze-kai had been imprisoned for debt, for a few days, a short time previously.\n\nThat we think it unnecessary to make any other observation regarding charge 10, than that there is no evidence of Mr Caldwell having deceived the Executive Council.\n\nThat with reference to charge 11, a partnership with Ma-chow Wong in a lorcha is proved, and in fact admitted by Mr Caldwell; but that there is no evidence as to payments to Mr Caldwell out of the produce of plunder made at sea.\n\nThat as to charge 12, there is no evidence whatever.\n\nThat the fact stated in charge 13, of the release of the men upon Mr Caldwell's representation as to their character, there is no doubt whatever; and that it appears incomprehensible how any person, with Mr Caldwell's knowledge of the Chinese language, and holding the appointment he did, could have been ignorant of the character of the boats in which the men were seized and that one at least of these men was a notorious pirate, particularly as it is in evidence that Ma-chow Wong was connected with the boats.\n\nThat with regard to charge 1, it being only a matter of inference, we find in support of such inference that a sum of money was offered by a Chinaman as a mark of gratitude to Mr Caldwell, for being instrumental in the release of a lorcha seized by Pirates, in which the man's father was; but that this money was refused by Mr Caldwell, and on such refusal that it was offered to Mrs Caldwell as a present for the children. A majority, however, of the Commission do not feel satisfied that Mrs Caldwell accepted this money. It has also been proved that a Chinese female named Shaplok, who had been in frequent communication with Mr Caldwell (and is reported, but not proved, to be a sister by Chinese usage of Mrs Caldwell), received from the Foo Tai pawn-shop the sum of $400, because the sentence on a pawn-broker belonging to the said shop had been mitigated, as was supposed, through her influence, and that she received a further sum of $50 for her personal trouble in the matter. Further, since the commencement of this inquiry, Mr Caldwell has, solely upon the information conveyed in an anonymous letter that certain property had been stolen, personally and without the assistance of the police, searched a room in the occupation of Assow, the Police Court Interpreter, whom Mr Caldwell knew to be about to give evidence before the Commission. Mr Caldwell, in the opinion of the Commission, acted in this matter injudiciously, to say the least of it. Notwithstanding these facts, coupled with the circumstance of Mr Caldwell's connection with so notorious a character as Ma-chow Wong, it appears to a majority of the Commission, that, although Mr Caldwell's original appointment as a Justice of the Peace may have been injudicious, they do not necessitate so strong a measure as his removal from that office.\n\nFinally, we would state that in the course of the inquiry it has come to our knowledge, that previous to the appointment of the Commission, certain papers connected with Ma-chow Wong's trial, and which might have been of service to the Commission, have been destroyed; but it has been clearly proved that their destruction was ordered solely because they encumbered the Chinese Secretary's Office, while it appeared that they were then of no value, and could not be further required.\n\nTo His Excellency\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\nYour Excellency's\n\nMost obedient humble Servants.\n\nCHAS. ST GEO. CLEVERLY, Chairman,\n\nH. TUDOR DAVIES.\n\nGEORGE LYALL,\n\nA. FLETCHER.\n\nJOHN SCARTH.\n\nSIR JOHN BOWRING, Kt. L.L.D.,\n\nGovernor of Hongkong,\n\n&c., &c. &c.\n\n325",

Mr Lyons,―The fire took place about the end of March this year.\n\nChairman, When was this conversation?\n\nMr Lyons,—Between the 15th April and the 1st May\n\nChairman, Do you recollect any further conversation with Mr Caldwell near Augustine Heard & Co.'s?\n\nMr Lyons,-No.\n\nChairman,-Do you recollect Mr Caldwell telling you that he had mentioned the matter to the Surveyor General? Mr Lyons,-I do remember some conversation at that time, the purport of which was, that Mr Caldwell had spoken to the Surveyor General concerning the building of the front wall,\n\nChairman, Did Mr Caldwell say that he or some one else was going to build the wall?\n\nMr Lyons, I do not remember Mr Caldwell saying that any one else was connected with the property.\n\nChairman, Are you certain that Mr Caldwell spoke of himself with reference to the matter?\n\nMr Lyons,—I am quite certain that he did. He did not refer to any other property; he said he would speak to the Surveyor General on the matter.\n\nChairman,-Have you, within the last few days, been actively employed in making any inquiries regarding Mr Caldwell?\n\nMr Lyons,-No, I have not been actively employed, and have not been instigated to make any inquiry concerning Mr Caldwell.\n\nChairman, Do you know Choeng Assow?\n\nMr Lyons, I know Assow the Road Surveyor. Chairman,--Have you been to him lately to inquire for a man named Lum Ateen.\n\nMr Lyons,-Yes.\n\nChairman, Why?\n\nMr Lyons,—I went round yesterday to lot 206, and found that the space where the houses abut was filled with filth, also 241 C and B. I inquired who rented the houses of 241 C and B and 206. I could not find out who was the proprietor. I went to Lum Ateen, and asked him if he was the owner. He told me, Yes, that he was owner of all the lots.\n\nCross-examined,——\n\nChairman, Will you tell the Commission if you ever saw Lum Ateen before?\n\nMr Lyons, I do not know him. Chairman,-How did you find where he lived? Mr Lyons,-The tenants told me. Chairman, Where was it?\n\nMr Lyons,-In a lane at the back of Circular Buildings. Chairman, Have you any means of knowing what occupation Lum Ateen follows?\n\nMr Lyons, I do not know—he was dressed well when I saw him first.\n\nChairman,--Why did you not go to Mr Caldwell, as you supposed him to be the landlord?\n\nMr Lyons, I went to Lum Ateen, because he was the nearest, and I thought it possible the houses might have changed hands.\n\nChairman,Did you go to any one else?\n\nMr Lyons,---I went to Yee Wo Fook the Coffin-maker, and asked him if he was the owner of lots 211 B and C. He told me that he was not-that he rented them from Lum Ateen. Lum Ateen told me that he owned all the lots, and that he sublet lots 241 B and C to Yee Wo Fook.\n\nChairman, Have you within the last few days had any conversation with any Chinese females concerning Mr Caldwell?\n\nMr Lyons,-Yes.\n\nChairman,-What is the female's name? Mr Lyons, I think her name is Lin-hee. Chairman, -Who is Lin-hee?\n\nMr Lyons, She is the owner of some property in Tai-ping-shan. She was building some houses there, which she asked me to look after because she was anxious to get the roofs on before the wet weather set in.\n\nChairman,―Have you any recollection how many houses there were?\n\nMr Lyons, There were five or more.\n\nChairman, Had you any conversation with any Chinese female?\n\nMr Lyons, I do not recollect any conversation.\n\n(5)\n\nChairman,-Have you had any conversation with any Chinamen on the subject?\n\nMr Lyons,-Yes. Chairman,--With whom?\n\nMr Lyons,-Awai, formerly an Interpreter at the Police Station.\n\nChairman, When did this conversation occur? Mr Lyons, This morning. Chairman,-Where?\n\nMr Lyons,-In Queen's Road West. Re-examined,\n\nChairman for Mr Caldwell,-Had you any particular reason for inquiring about Lin-hee's relationship?\n\nMr Lyons, She said she was a poor woman; to which I said, you are Mr Caldwell's cousin.\n\nChairman,-Were the names Lin-hee and Shap-lok given you by Mr May?\n\nMr Lyons,-He asked me some days ago if I knew the parties, and I said that I knew them by repute.\n\nChairman,—Did Mr May ask you to make the inquiry? Mr Lyons,-No. He asked me if I knew them. Chairman, What was your conversation with Awai? Mr Lyons, I asked him if he knew Shap-lok. He said yes; I asked who she was, and he said she was Mrs Caldwell's sister.\n\nChairman. Did you make any further inquiry? Mr Lyons,-No. That was the only conversation about Mrs Caldwell.\n\nChairman,--Was that an idle question?\n\nMr Lyons-I asked him because he is a man who knows almost everything about Hongkong.\n\nChairman,-Have you been lately at the Gaol making inquiries about Mr Caldwell?\n\nMr Lyons, I have-two days ago. Chairman, What inquiry did you make?\n\nMr Lyons, I inquired concerning the man Beaver, having some reference to Mr Caldwell.\n\nChairman, of whom did you make this inquiry? Mr Lyons,-1 made it of the convict Boggs, because I felt convinced that he was with Beaver in the employ of Akwai [the pirate], for whose apprehension a reward is offered; and to learn as to the truth of a statement made to me by Beaver after he had been released, and whether he knew who was in possession of the paper which was laid on the table of the Supreme Court at the time of his (Eli Boggs') trial.\n\nChairman,--Did you get your information? Mr Lyons, I did.\n\nChairman, Had that paper any reference to Mr Caldwell?\n\nMr Lyons, It was stated by Boggs to have been written by Mr Caldwell.\n\nChairman,--What were the contents of that paper? Mr Lyons,—I do not know personally what the paper was about.\n\nChairman,-Was it with a view to give evidence before the Commission concerning Mr Caldwell?\n\nMr Lyons.--No. It was only with a view to protect myself.\n\nChairman,--Did you get the paper? Mr Lyons,--No, I did not.\n\nChairman,--To whom did the lorcha in which you were belong?\n\nMr Lyons --To Achong, the P. & Q. Co's Comprador. Beaver was with Akwái, not with me.\n\nChairman,--Have you any cause for the belief concerning Mr Caldwell?\n\nMr Lyons,--Yes.\n\nChairman,--Do you know in whose employ Beaver was before he was in Akwai's?\n\nMr Lyons,-In Mr Caldwell's, in the lorcha Kee-loong-poon.\n\nChairman, Do you know who her part-owner was? Mr Lyons,-Her register gave Mr Caldwell as the sole owner,\n\nChairman,-Do you remember a piracy committed by Beaver on Achong?\n\nMr Lyons, I only know it from hearsay.\n\nChairman,-In what way would Boggs's paper have enabled you to make your defence if an accusation had been made against you?\n\nMr Lyons,-In case of my being brought up, I wished to be able to shew by it that Mr Caldwell was connected with those sort of people himself.",

        "content_text": "Page 330\n\n(8)\n\none—Mr James Stephenson was another. I was requested to attend the Council, to furnish any evidence in my possession to substantiate certain statements in the China Mail. I may mention, that all my statements were borne out by memoranda produced by Mr May.\n\nChairman.—Have you had any opinion since?\n\nChairman.—Do you know if Ma-chow Wong's investigation before the Council was got up at the instigation of Mr Caldwell?\n\nMr Dixson.—I do not know, I know that Mr Caldwell was exerting himself to accomplish the liberation of Ma-chow Wong, which I attributed to the very long acquaintance which had existed between them.\n\nChairman.—Did not you say just now that the Council was brought to a sudden close by the production of some memoranda of Mr May?\n\nMr Dixson.—I think the only reason that I have to do so is, that, with such powerful evidence as was brought against Ma-chow Wong in the Court, I cannot comprehend how Mr Caldwell should still continue to advocate his innocence and strive to procure a pardon.\n\nMr Dixson.—Yes—Mr Caldwell and Mr Stace, I understood, got permission to take away any documents connected with Ma-chow Wong in the hands of the Police. Certain of these papers, Mr May, with the assistance of interpreters, had taken memoranda. The papers were taken away from the station—I understood by Mr Caldwell and Mr Stace. I had learned something of the contents of the memoranda, and on informing the Council that I believed I could fully substantiate all the statements I had made in the paper, was astonished to learn that a translation of the papers, made by order of the Government, by Mr Caldwell, assisted by Mr Mongan, contained no proofs, or but very trifling proofs indeed, of the charges I had brought. The translation I heard read over in Council, and it proved an entirely different affair from what was shown in Mr May's memoranda. All the members of Council expressed the utmost astonishment at such being the case, and Mr Mongan on being called could not account for it. The Council seemed to break up suddenly.—and I have never heard from that day to this whether the documents were ever forthcoming or not.\n\nChairman.—Do you agree to Mr Anstey's version of your conversation?\n\nMr Dixson.—On Mr Anstey's evidence being read over I confirm it with the following remarks:\n\nThe fire referred to (when the threatening gesture was made) was at the Police Station, not at Taipingshan. I know nothing of my own knowledge, good or bad, about Mr Caldwell's family; I have been introduced to the reputed adopted Brother and Sister of Mrs Caldwell, I know nothing of my own knowledge against Mrs Caldwell.\n\nChairman.—Of your own knowledge do you know if she was ever brought from a brothel?\n\nMr Dixson.—From my own knowledge I do not. I believe she never was a prostitute. I have heard the charges read over. Of the 1st, 2d, and 3d, I know nothing. The 4th must be very much qualified, except in the case of Ma-chow Wong. The 5th, I know nothing of. The 6th I don't know anything about the 8th—I don't understand it. No. 9, I know nothing of. With regard to 10, I have already said all I have to say.\n\nAs for 11, there is one entry of money paid to Mr Caldwell in Mr May's memoranda of Wong Akee's books. 12, 13, 14 and 15, I know nothing of. 16 I have already explained. Of 17, 18, and 19, I know nothing.\n\nChairman.—Did you not tell the Attorney General, last week or the week before, that you did not think that Mrs Caldwell had been a prostitute; but that you knew she had once been an inmate of a brothel, and that you knew a China-woman well who had lived along with her in a brothel?\n\nMr Dixson.—No,\n\nChairman.—Did not the Attorney General ask you if you would have any objection to be called to give evidence of these facts?\n\nMr Dixson.—I said that I should be happy to give evidence, not of these facts, but of facts connected with the general enquiry. What I said was, that I knew or had heard from a person who had lived in a house (not a brothel) with Mrs Caldwell, that she, Mrs Caldwell, had been brought up as a singing-girl in a brothel. I do not know this of my own knowledge—and am not inclined to give the name of my informant. I decline to bring anybody here; but I believe the statement to be true.\n\n[The name of the informant was by request handed over to the Chairman.]\n\nCross examined—\n\nChairman.—You have stated in your evidence that you were under the impression that Mr Caldwell had told you after the trial, that his connection with Ma-chow Wong had ceased. If such was the case, I wish to know if you are still under the impression that he is advocating his innocence?\n\nMr Dixson.—It is not so in the evidence.\n\nChairman.—You have also stated that some of the papers taken in Ma-chow Wong's possession had been taken from the Police Station by Mr Caldwell and Mr Stace. Will you give your informant's name?\n\nMr Dixson.—I decline giving the party's name.\n\nChairman.—You say Mr Mongan was called up and questioned. Can you state if Mr Mongan explained how the examination of the papers was carried on?\n\nMr Dixson.—No. He said he had been instructed to assist Mr Caldwell in making the translation.\n\nChairman.—Did you see the memo. of Mr May's before it was produced at the Council?\n\nMr Dixson.—I decline answering the question. I saw it at the Council.\n\nChairman.—You have known Mr Caldwell intimately a great many years?\n\nMr Dixson.—Yes—most intimately, and would probably have done so till this day, but for Ma-chow Wong.\n\nChairman.—Have you ever had any reason to suspect that Mr Caldwell ever derived any benefit from plunder at sea?\n\nMr Dixson.—I know of none.\n\nI did not like his connection with Ma-chow Wong.\n\nChairman.—Do you not know that while he has been in the Government employ, he has done material service to the Government?\n\nMr Dixson.—I do believe so, most conscientiously.\n\nChairman.—Are you not aware that Mr Caldwell has been enabled to render most of this public service by means of Ma-chow Wong?\n\nMr Dixson.—I am; but I qualify it, believing that Ma-chow Wong never gave any information without having a selfish end in view. I know of a case, and brought a witness up to prove it before the Council, where Ma-chow Wong gave information for ships-of-war to attack pirates, and afterwards sent boats to collect loot from the pirate junks after the men-of-war had done with them.\n\nChairman.—Do you believe that Mr Caldwell derived any pecuniary advantage from his connection with Ma-chow Wong?\n\nMr Dixson.—I do—in general terms.\n\nChairman.—Do you think that from any of the unlawful transactions, Mr Caldwell derived any share?\n\nMr Dixson.—I decline answering that question.\n\nChairman.—Have you known Mrs Caldwell for any length of time?\n\nMr Dixson.—I have, intimately.\n\nChairman.—Are you aware that some time ago she was baptised?\n\nMr Dixson.—Yes.\n\nChairman.—And that immediately afterwards they were married in the Cathedral?\n\nMr Dixson.—Yes, I was present at the marriage. I knew them before their public marriage, and considered them as much man and wife then as afterwards.\n\nChairman.—Have you ever seen anything in Mrs Caldwell's conduct which would tend to give you a bad opinion of her?\n\nMr Dixson.—No. I have never seen anything of the kind.\n\nChairman.—You are also aware that Mr May has been on very friendly terms with Mr and Mrs Caldwell for many years back, visiting at the house?\n\nMr Dixson.—Yes.\n\nChairman.—You are aware that Mr May is a married man?\n\nMr Dixson.—Yes.\n\nChairman.—He is Superintendent of Police and Justice of the Peace?\n\nMr Dixson.—Yes.\n\n[Some questions of Mr Caldwell's were here disallowed by the Chairman.]\n\nChairman.—With reference to charge 16, I think you say that you are acquainted with the family of Mr Caldwell?\n\nMr Dixson.—Yes.\n\nChairman.—Are you aware that he has a Sister-in-law?\n\nMr Dixson.—A woman has been pointed out to me as such.\n\nChairman.—Do you know if in 1855-6 she kept a brothel?\n\n(9)\n\nPage 330",

I do not think that she is any relation of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nChairman, Have you ever heard that either Mr or Mrs Caldwell have been adopted by Ma-chow Wong?\n\nMr Dixson, I have heard that Mrs Caldwell was. I cannot produce any one who had told me.\n\nChairman, Do you believe that the brothel was kept by his supposed sister-in-law, or by a person of her name?\n\nMr Dixson--I believe it was kept by herself. Chairman,--Will you give her name?\n\nMr Dixson,--I do not know the name. I do not know her as Shaplok. Chun is the family name; Chun Atai, I think.\n\nIt was proposed by Mr Lyall, seconded by Mr Scarth, and carried unanimously, That the Chairman do communicate with Mr Day on the subject of the first resolution, and do make such arrangements with him as he may think necessary.\n\nThe Commission then adjourned.\n\nPresent,\n\nTHIRD DAY,\n\nTuesday, 1st June, 1858, at 11 A.M.\n\nAll the members.\n\nMr Day,--When made?\n\nMr Gilmour,--All made on 26th February, 1858. Mr Day,--On respect of Crown-rents due on 31st December, 1857?\n\nMr Gilmour--Yes. There are some lots paid for on 18th February, on account of Mr F. Woods by Mr Caldwell, on Inland Lots 206, 263, 264, 551, amount £4, 11s. 3¼d.; on account of Sin On Wo, 5th March, £9, 16s. 2d., for Marine Lot 33 D; and D. R.

Those are all I know of.\n\nJANUARIO A. DE CARVALHO,--Called and examined.\n\nMr Day,--What is your situation?\n\nMr Carvalho,--I am employed in the Treasury Office as Accountant,\n\nMr Day, Will you look at that book--payments on 26th February, 1858?\n\nMr Carvalho, I received one amount on 5th March, on account Sin On Wo £9, 16s. 2d. On the 4th the Chinaman came himself, and on the 5th came accompanied by Mr Caldwell. He could not understand me regarding encroachments made on his Marine Lot; he therefore came next day with Mr Caldwell, and paid the money.\n\nMr Day,--Did Mr Caldwell have any conversation with you respecting the lot?\n\nMr Carvalho, I told Mr Caldwell the reason why for this half year an additional sum was wanted, which Mr Caldwell explained to the man.\n\nMr Day, Was the money then paid? Mr Carvalho,--Yes by the Chinaman.\n\nMr Day--Is this entry \"received from Mr Caldwell on account of Sin On Wo\" correct?\n\nMr Carvalho,--Yes.\n\nMr Day, Were you present when Mr Caldwell made any other payments to Mr Gilmour?\n\nMr Carvalho,--I think I was.\n\nMr Day, Do you remember any conversation that passed on the subject?\n\nMr Carvalho, I do. Mr Caldwell said that he paid merely as agent. I can't recollect what number he referred to.\n\nMr Day,--Did he say for whom?\n\nMr Carvalho,--He gave the names of Chinamen which [on reference to memo.] are I think Lum Ateen, Chun Alai, and Chun Atsew.\n\nMr Day,--Did he make any request as to whose names the receipts should be made out in?\n\nMr Carvalho,--He desired they should be made out in the names of those parties. I did not hear him say anything else.\n\nCross examined,--\n\n(11)\n\nMr Day,--Regarding the payment of 5th March, for lot 552--at that time did Mr Caldwell not say that he did not know the name of the party to whom it belonged?\n\nMr Carvalho,--Yes. It was paid for balance of rent up to 25th December last.\n\nMr GILMOUR,--Recalled.\n\nLUM ATEEN,--Called and examined.\n\nMy name is Lum Ateen; I live at the Toong Hap shop. I am a doctor, and keep a Druggist's shop at the entrance of the Western Market; have lived there since the third moon of last year. The medicine shop has only been open for a few months; have practised as a physician before that, and had a shop near Lee Kiptye's house; have practised here as a physician for about 12 years amongst my friends. Have attended Mr Caldwell's children, principally the children and the servants, also Mrs Caldwell. About seven years ago went to California, was away eight months employed as a Ship's doctor; took medicines with me to sell--they cost about $300; took no money beyond a few dollars. While in California practised as a physician. The result in a pecuniary point of view was good,--I made upwards of $2000; brought back the money in Gold Dust which I sold in Canton 170 taels at $20 per tael, (say $3,400.) On my return I renewed my acquaintance with Mr Caldwell. Two years ago I had some transactions with Mr Caldwell regarding the steamer Eaglet. I acted as a sort of agent between some of my relations and Mr Caldwell; I had no share in the steamer. I left the money earned in California at interest with friends in Canton, in the first moon of the second year of Hienfung, and got it back in about a year afterwards. I bought a lot of clothes, ear-rings, &c, to send to California by my young brother, who was coming and going from and to that country. My brother came back sick. I heard that the speculation had been a good one, but only got back $1,000. Invested only about $1,000. With the remaining money I lent out some at interest, and with some I bought shops from Mr Caldwell. I remember when Mr Caldwell became embarrassed. He owed me $2,000 for which I was getting interest. $1,500 was lent by me (as agent for a friend) to Mr Caldwell without interest. The $2,000 were lent at the rate of $50 per month.\n\nMr Gilmour, He told me to make them out as in certain names. I don't recollect that he gave any reason for so doing, he spoke to Mr Carvalho before he came to me.\n\nMr Day,--Did he say in what capacity he made the payment?\n\nMr Gilmour,--No; not to me.\n\nMr Day,--With reference to the payment on 18th February, on account of Mr Woods. Does the same remark apply to it?\n\nMr Gilmour, I don't recollect about that payment. I should not have put in Mr Woods' name unless desired to do so. Mr Woods was not present.\n\nCross Examined,--Did you overhear what Mr Caldwell said to Mr Carvalho?\n\nMr Gilmour,--I fancy that I heard him, on the 26th February, say that those lots were not his: that they were to be transferred, or had been transferred.\n\n[Mr Caldwell was asked to produce his Register of Brothels.]\n\nMr Caldwell,--This is the Register of Brothels, and is sent into the Colonial Secretary when required. I acknowledge that I have been neglectful in keeping up this book. It has been impossible to keep the book up on account of the numerous changes in the Brothels, which would take up all my time to note.\n\n[It appears on reference to the book, that Brothel No 38 is on the ground floor of lot 206, and that the keeper's name is Wong Angun; Brothel 76 is on the upper floor of lot 206, keeper's name Ho Amoy; No 77, is on lot 206, keeper's name Leu Ayee: 78, Lee Wing Wo; 79 Lew Yee.\n\nThere are a great many deficiencies in the Registry, the number of the lots, the name of the landlord or lessor, and the name of the Crown lessee being inserted in very few instances.\n\nIn the 1st Registry of Brothel 48 there is an entry,--\"Brothel 48; Number of house, 203; locality, Lower Lascar's Row; name of the keeper Chun Wun Yow; Number of Lot, 249 B.\" In the column of Remarks this license is stated to be cancelled. There is an interlineation above it of another License, Number 48, House 515; locality, upper street; name of keeper, Sow Atseen; no entry of Number of Lot.]\n\nI was told last year by Mr Caldwell, that he was going to sell off all his property, for the benefit of his creditors. He sent for me in the fourth month of last year, and told me that all the creditors were willing to arrange; that the interest of the money was to cease at the end of the previous month, and that I was to go to Siemssen & Co., to get my proceeds of property sold. I was asked to sign a paper stating that I was agreeable to the arrangement. Mr Caldwell informed me of the value of the property, and that the houses had been valued. The value stated was $4,700, and I was told the value of each house. I wanted to take ten houses, and set off the value against the money due to me; but Mr Caldwell said that the creditors would not agree to that; I afterwards bought ten of the houses for $2,200. The lots were bought, but I do not know the numbers of the lots, but can find it by their receipts for rent. I paid the money to Mr Caldwell. I afterwards bought four houses in Tai-ping-shan from Siemssen & Co., assignees for Mr Caldwell, for $300. I paid the $2,200 to Mr Caldwell, at his house in Gough Street. Of the $300 I paid $150 to Mr Caldwell,",

Ateen, who said that he had bought the houses. I told him voluntarily. He asked me what the policeman had said to me, and I told him that the policeman had asked me who the owner of the house was, and that I told him the comprador had told me the house belonged to Mr. Caldwell. Lum Ateen said that I might have the seven houses at the same rate as before, $30—to which I agreed. The other house was agreed for the same day, for $25. My previous knowledge of Lum Ateen extended only to knowing him by sight. The house spoken of as being intended for a hospital has not been used as such; it is now a family house. I do not know how Lum Ateen got the money for the houses, and do not know anything of his pecuniary affairs—nor anything about his going to Macao.\n\nTOMAS BERNARDO RIBEIRO.—Called and examined.\n\nI live in Hollywood Road, house No. 300; have been there since January 1857. I took the house of Mr. Caldwell's comprador, who told me that the house was Mr. Caldwell's. I am keeper of a licensed boarding house; pay the rent to the comprador, whom I last saw this morning. He came to my house about half-past 7 this morning of his own accord, and said, \"If any gentleman comes asking you, don't tell that this house belongs to Mr. Caldwell. Say that it belongs to Mrs. Caldwell, or a relation.\"\n\n[Mr. Caldwell admits that he receives the rent of the house, but denies the ownership. He also admits that he is the reputed owner, or in other words, that people suppose him to be the owner.]\n\nNo part of the house in which I live is used as a brothel. There is no brothel on the side of the street in which I live; there is one over the way. The comprador once said that unless I could pay every month I should be turned out. One time he took me down to Mr. Caldwell's office. I said to Mr. Caldwell, \"Excuse me this time, as soon as my boarders get ships I will pay.\" Mr. Caldwell said, \"I have nothing to do with it; you had better speak to the comprador.\" The comprador said, that I must pay or seek another house. On the 20th of this month I shall owe one month's rent: all the rest has been paid.\n\nJOHN LYONS.—Recalled.\n\nI have looked at the plan of houses in this colony, and find that house 300 is on lot 204. There are other 5 houses on the same lot, none of which are to my knowledge brothels. The other houses in this lot are numbered 301, 299, 249, 250, 248. Laurenço Pablo lives in house 248 Lascar Upper Row, No. of license 22.\n\nLAURENÇO PABLO.—Called and examined.\n\nCHUN SAMCHU.—Called and examined.\n\nI am a broker, and reside in house No. 531; the number of the ground lot I don't know. I have lived there ten days, and took the house from a person called Lum Ateen, or rather his collector of the same surname who lives at the Cho Sow Tong. I know Mr. Caldwell, but have not seen him at my residence. I do not know about Mr. Caldwell having any interest in the house.\n\nCHOU AH-CHEE,—Recalled.\n\nI have brought my rent book. [Book examined, and found to contain entries beginning 20th December last, of $16 rent, paid to and acknowledged by Yee Wo.] Afook is the master of the Yee Wo shop.\n\nFONG WEIKAI,—Occupant of inland lot 250, and house 411,—Called and examined.\n\nI have occupied the house a few days, and took it from Yee Wo.\n\nWONG AOON,—Called and examined.\n\nI have occupied my present house (the same house as last witness) two months. I took it from Yee Wo. I do not know who the owner of the house is.\n\nHO ACHOONG,—Called and examined.\n\nI have lived in the same house as last witness since the 15th January last. I took it from Yee Wo Fook, to whom I pay the rent. I do not know to whom he pays it, nor who the owner of the house is.\n\nLEONG CH'EWKWONG,—(Lot 204, house 301, Hollywood Road,)—Called and examined.\n\nI have occupied this house since the 24th December last. I took it from Lai Sze-kai, master of the Tai Cheong shop. I pay the rent to him. He says that he collects the rent for a relation. He has never used Mr. Caldwell's name in connection with it.\n\nCHUN KUNHEE,—(Lot 204, house 299,)—Called and examined.\n\nI have lived in this house two years. I rented it from Lai Sze-kai of the Tai Cheong shop. I never paid any rent to Mr. Caldwell.\n\n[The Commissioners at the request of Mr. May proceeded to examine two witnesses on reference to charge 4 in the second branch of the inquiry. Their evidence will be found printed with the rest of the evidence on the same charge.]\n\nLAURENÇO PABLO.—Called and examined.\n\nI live in Lascar Upper Row, behind the house of Ribeiro. I keep a Boarding House, and have lived there sixteen months. I took the house of Mr. Caldwell's comprador—Lai Sze-kai, who told me that Mr. Caldwell was the owner. I pay the rent to the comprador, and last saw...\n\nAdjourned to 1 P.M., on the 3d.\n\nFIFTH DAY,\n\nThursday, 3d June, 1858.\n\nPresent,—All the Members.\n\n(15)\n\nGEORGE COOPER TURNER—Called and examined.\n\nI am a Solicitor in this colony. In December last I was, and still am, Solicitor to the Attorney General. Upon reference to document (M) I can state that, on the 3d January, 1857, I, as solicitor for the Attorney General, obtained a transfer into his name in the land office, of lots 475, 476, 477, 478, 480, 483, 484, 485, and 507. These lots had been purchased by him from Mr. Caldwell. Mr. Anstey was very desirous in the latter end of December last, of selling these lots, and I applied to Mr. Caldwell to point out where the lots were. I think at that time Mr. Caldwell said, that he had a friend who was very anxious to buy one of these lots. I replied, that I did not think it likely that the Attorney General would sell any one particular lot, as he wanted to get rid of the whole together. I made some enquiry as to the lot Mr. Caldwell's friend wished to buy, and called on him afterwards to tell him, that the Attorney General would not sell any one lot; the purchaser, if he bought, must take the whole. The lot Mr. Caldwell wished to buy was one near the Kulan obelisk; the others are in the neighbourhood of East Point. The whole were afterwards sold to Mr. Strachan.\n\nCross-examined,—Mr. Caldwell did not, at the time of the conversation with him, mention the name of the friend; nor do I know for whom the lot was wanted.\n\nLAI SZE KAI,—Called and examined.\n\nI was Comprador to Mr. Caldwell. I ceased to be Comprador from the time Mr. Caldwell ceased to be master of the Eaglet, about two years ago. Since then I have been partner with Low Ateem in a shop, and now myself keep a shop which is in Stanley Street. When I was Comprador to Mr. Caldwell I went with the steamer; I also collected rents of four houses, but I do not know the numbers of the ground lots on which they stand. [The lot referred to is 197.] The present occupants are Lee Koon-tai, Ngow Poo, Chew Angee, Ch'o Ngu, Akwun, who keeps a Chair shop, and Yew Aon—there are eight tenants altogether. I received rents for Mr. Caldwell until I went on board the steamer as Comprador, after which I believe Mr. Caldwell's cook was collector. After I left the steamer I again collected rents for Mr. Caldwell, and continued to do so up to the middle of December last, when the houses were sold to Lum Ateen. After that time I collected them for Lum Ateen as some of them still owed rent. I delivered to Mr. Caldwell the rents as I collected them. When I was collector, for Mr. Caldwell, the rents amounted to about $19 a month. They are now let by Lum Ateen to me for $50, and I sublet them for $57. None of the houses are brothels, nor are any of them inhabited by loose women. During the whole time that I have received the rents they have been all occupied as family houses, and none of them as brothels or by loose women. The houses belonged to Mr. Caldwell at the end of 1856.\n\nI have collected rents for Mr. Caldwell for 11 houses besides. They are not sold. I know of my own knowledge that these houses belonged to a sister of Mrs. Caldwell, whose name I do not know. I do not know Chun Atsoo; I know they are the property of Mrs. Caldwell's sister, because Mrs. Caldwell told me so, and at one time offered to let them to me. Mrs. Caldwell managed the affairs of this property. The rents of these 11 houses are paid to Mrs. Caldwell, and have always been since I collected them. I have never collected rent on any other lots for Mrs. Caldwell. In the month of February last, I spoke to Mr. Caldwell concerning the payment of ground rent on Lum Ateen's property. When Lum Ateen was going home he told me to pay the ground rents for him: I said, that I did not know what amount I had to pay; Lum Ateen told me I might go to my old master—Mr. Caldwell—about it. I went to Mr. Caldwell in the month of February, and asked him to write a note for me to go and pay ground rents. Mr. Caldwell told me that he himself was going to pay ground rents. I gave him a $50 note. About two days afterwards Mr. Caldwell said it was not enough, and that I must give him $2 and some cents more. Mr. Caldwell said, that he would wait till Lum Ateen's return, and hand the receipts over to him. He told me that the receipts were at the office; he would get them by and by. I know a Boarding House keeper in Hollywood Road called Tomas. I let him the house in which he lives. I saw him yesterday morning. I said to him, and all the Chinese tenants, \"Don't be afraid; if any inquiry be made, you may say that the house belongs to my mistress [Mrs. Caldwell].” The previous evening I went to collect the rents. The Chinese tenants were afraid I was not going to let the houses to them. One of the tenants came to me next morning, and so I went to all. I have had no conversation with Mr. Caldwell as to the evidence that had been given before this Commission. No one told me to go to these tenants. They said some constable had been making inquiry as to the names and occupations of the tenants, and that this was their reason for being frightened.\n\nCross-examined,—The amount of rent due upon the four houses when they were transferred to Lum Ateen in December, was about $70; there is none of this due now. I was in Gaol about the 4th moon of last year, about a debt of my partner. I was 6 or 7 days in Gaol. I have never been in Gaol on a criminal charge. I do not know Chew Alai—nor have I heard the name; neither do I know Chun Ats00. I had an interview with Mrs. Caldwell's sister at Macao, about 4 years ago; I do not know her name.\n\nI do not know if she has a sister living in Hongkong. Six of the eleven houses are near the Joss-house in Hollywood Road, and the others are in Queen's Road West. It was after I left the steamer in July, 1856, that Mrs. Caldwell offered to let me the houses. I have known Lum Ateen about 10 years. He is a druggist and...",

        "content_text": "1EE\n\n335\n\n(18)\n\nin Peel Street, and a Barber, next door but one to her house, who gave me information in answer to an inquiry of mine on this subject on the 11th or 12th of May last, should be called.\n\nThis inquiry was a voluntary one, and the result was communicated to the Attorney General. I never employed any person directly to make inquiries. I gave a suggestion, not a direction, to Lyons, about ascertaining from the occupants, who they considered were the owners. I inquired of Lyons if he knew if Mr Caldwell owned any property in Taipingshan. He said, \"I do; he owns lot 206.\" I asked him how he knew it, and he said Mr Caldwell had acknowledged himself to be the owner to him, when he had occasion to go to Mr Caldwell on business as Inspector of Nuisances. Inspector Roberts is a member of the Police force, and has made inquiries concerning the Ma-chow Wong branch of the inquiry; he has not done so by my direction, but in the pursuit of his inquiries he has acted upon my advice, as to the mode in which he should conduct them. Precisely the same remark applies to Lyons. I think it would be imprudent in the present stage of inquiry, were I to give the names of others from whom I have sought information regarding the Ma-chow Wong branch of the inquiry.\n\nCross-examined,-I have been on terms of acquaintanceship, but not intimacy, with Mrs Caldwell, since she resided at the Police Station-for about six years back. I went to their house on the occasion of their giving parties, within the last six years, since my family went to England, I may have dined 3 times with them on Christmas days-but not more than 3 times. During the time I was on these terms with Mr and Mrs Caldwell, I believed that she had been taken out of a brothel but by this I do not mean that I believed she was in any way connected with the business of a brothel, but only an inmate of one. Her manners and demeanour, and the management of her household, were always marked by strict propriety of conduct, and were those of a gentlewoman; but the inherent character of the Chinese, derived from education, manners, and custom, are not in my opinion in her, more than in any of her country women, eradicated by her marriage with Mr Caldwell. By inherent character, I mean the making use of position and power to obtain return for services rendered. The inquiries I made, the evidence I have given, and suggestions and advice I have offered, were not prompted by any private motives, but from the desire for the public good-morality was not the subject of my thoughts. I remember in 1851 giving Mr Strachan information, which induced him to write an article in his paper regarding Mr Caldwell's informant, in reference to an attack on the steamer Hongkong. I know that the statement in the article was proved to be untrue. Mr Caldwell wrote a letter to the China Mail on the subject, and I reported that circumstance to the Governor. The result was a written apology from Mr Caldwell to me, relative to his conduct, I have it at home, and can produce it. I thought Ma-chow Wong was the informant; and this was one of the two occasions on which I had a quarrel with Mr Caldwell.\n\nI was officiating as Registrar General and Protector of Chinese for five or six years up to the time that Mr Caldwell was appointed to those offices,-I have never since then expressed a desire to be appointed Registrar General. About eight or nine months ago, when I had a conversation with the Acting Colonial Secretary on the subject of Police, I stated that if it was considered by H. M.'s Government, that it would be for the interest of the public that Mr Caldwell should have the Superintendence of the Police, I would most gladly take the office of the Registrar General; I expressed no wish, but said it rather in irony than otherwise. I did not ask it in the slightest degree as a favour to myself. I did not say that such an arrangement would be the means of putting a stop to any hostility on my part towards, or disputes between, myself and Mr Caldwell, or anything to that effect. I have emphatically disavowed on many occasions, and I believe then, all hostility to Mr Caldwell, and I do so now. I did say that I believed the hatred of Mr Caldwell towards me arising out of Ma-chow Wong's conviction, would never cease, and I say so now. I recollect some three or four years ago having a conversation with Mr Caldwell, in which it was mooted between us, that an arrangement by which he would be Superintendent of Police, and I Registrar General, would be very pleasant.\n\nI have owned houses which were occupied as brothels to my knowledge, but not with my consent. I did all in my power to turn the brothel-keepers out, but was unsuccessful by reason of the then defective state of the law in that respect. I asked additional powers from the Executive, but I received none. This matter was inquired into by the Government at the time, and they expressed their satisfaction with my conduct. I believe, but do not know, that Mr Caldwell refused to increase his salary; I know he applied for an increase, but on reconsideration I think he left the service because he purchased the Eaglet.\n\nFREDERICK WOODS,-Recalled.\n\nReferring to my answer when previously examined, as to whether I had bought land from Mr Caldwell in Taipingshan, I have to state, that I did not purchase land of him, but that I did purchase at auction lots 206, 263, and 264, which were, I believe, Mr Caldwell's property in November last year. The part which I stated as mortgaged remains being paid, and have no reason for supposing I shan't be paid. My grounds for believing that there was a brothel on lot 206, is the fact that every house in Taipingshan is more or less a brothel.\n\nCross-examined,—I believe that Assow and Lum Ateen did come to me before or after-I think after-Mr Caldwell spoke to me of the purchase.\n\n(19)\n\nRe-examined, It was within a fortnight after the Western Market sale [in November last] that I resold one of the shops to a Chinaman through Mr Caldwell. I have sold no more land this year to Mr Caldwell, or through him to a Chinaman. I explicitly told the Colonial Treasurer and Attorney General, that I had not sold any lots to Mr Caldwell this year, either to himself or through him as agent. Mr Caldwell has no interest in any purchase of land by me this year. I had a section of lot 209 which I bought at Public Auction in the latter part of last year. At the time I bought it, it was in the name of Sheik Moosdeen. The section was sold at Public Auction, about a fortnight after the fire, and the transfer was made within a fortnight after that time; it was sold to Achong, the P. & O. comprador. I never heard Mr Caldwell's name in the matter.\n\nLEUNG ATAI,-Called and examined.\n\nI am aware that a relation of mine has lately wished to sell to Mrs Caldwell two shops, numbered, I think, 331 and 332. They were entrusted to me for sale. I first went to Mr May, who could not give me the price I asked. I saw Mr May himself. I do not know a woman called Aoi. Mr May only offered $400 and odd, and I asked upwards of $500. I afterwards went to Sze-kai's shop; Sze-kai asked me where I had been; I said that I had been to Mr May's about the sale of my relation's houses. Sze-kai and I went to my relation, and Sze-kai dealt personally with him, but I was not present. I know that Sze-kai has bought the houses, because I asked my relation when Mr May requested me, and my relation told me they had been sold to Sze-kai's mistress, who is Mrs Caldwell, for $500, of which $400 had been paid, and the remainder was to be paid when the ground lease was divided. This was about ten days ago.\n\nCross-examined,-I went to the Central Police Station to see Mr May; I was never offered $420 or any other sum by a Chinese woman in European clothes or any other female for the houses. When Mr May saw the houses, he said they were old and broken down, and not worth so much. I do not know whether Mr May wanted to buy the houses for himself, or as agent for any one. My relation is called Tong Achew, and lives a little way below the Police Station.\n\nMARIA,-Called and examined.\n\nThree doors from my house there is a house which formerly belonged to Mr Caldwell, and which I heard was sold in the middle of last year. On the 19th April, I paid the ground rent to Lum Ateen. When Mr Richaecker was here I paid the ground rent to him; afterwards for about two years to Mr Caldwell; and the last six months rent to Lum Ateen. Lum Ateen came to me for the ground rent about the beginning of February last, when I said I had not the money. I think that my house is Number 72 or 76, but I am not sure. The reason I pay ground rent to Lum Ateen is, that my house is in the same lot with his, that he has more ground than I, and that he collects it. In October or November last, Mr Caldwell and Ateen told me, that Ateen had purchased them, and that I was to pay the rent to him. I told Mr May that the shops formerly belonged to Mr Caldwell. Mr May's question was, \"Are these houses Mr Caldwell's;\" I said \"Yes,\" and he then went away. When I said this to Mr May, I did not recollect that Ateen had come for the rents. Lum Ateen gave me the receipt, and he is the landlord; Lum Ateen came to my house for the rent. About April or May 1857, Mr Caldwell was going to sell all his houses; and I went to him and asked him to sell me one of them, and he told me that he would only sell them all together. Mr Caldwell never wanted to buy from me.\n\nAdjourned till Noon, 9th June.\n\nSEVENTH DAY.\n\nWednesday, 9th June, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members.\n\nOn the termination of the proceedings on the 7th instant, the Hon'ble the Attorney General handed in a letter of protest, against the manner of taking the evidence of the Chinese, as being wholly favourable to Mr Caldwell.\n\nFrom this opinion of the Honorable the Attorney General the Commission entirely dissent.\n\n[Mak Afook's account books of rents received produced.]\n\nJ. MONGAN, Assistant Chinese Secretary,--Called and examined.\n\nThere is no entry in either of these books from which it may appear upon whose account the rents have been collected.\n\nMAK AFOOK,-Called and examined,\n\nThe rents of which there are entries in this book are in respect of the 22 houses, and of one of the other three.\n\nLUM ATEEN, Recalled.\n\n[Produces five documents in Chinese: being copies of ground leases and mesne assignments, and also the receipt of the Colonial Treasurer for £2.2s.5d. received on the 26th February 1858, from Mr Caldwell, on account of Chew Alai, in respect of lots 238, C, 240, and 250; also, like receipt on the same date for £8.14s.7d. from Mr Caldwell on account of Lum Ateen, in respect of lots 179, 241 B, 241 C, 242 B, and 262, also of receipt on the 15th December 1857 by F. Woods of $1,500 from Lum Ateen, as part of purchase-money of lots 206, 263, and 264, sold to him for the sum of $3,000, with an agreement that the balance shall remain on security of the premises at interest; also, the receipts given by F. Woods to Lum Ateen for the interest on the said sum of $1,500, from the 15th December 1857 to the 31st May 1858; also, an acknowledgment by Siemssen & Co. of the receipt by them on the 9th September ...",

There are two houses to the westward of this; and there are several others to the eastward. I do not know whether the house above alluded to was a brothel, but it had a ticket with large black figures 48 on a white ground. I spoke to no other person in that street. The last witness is not the man with whom I had this conversation.\n\nCross-examined, Mr May did not tell me the object of his visit to Taipingshan, nor why he asked the question.\n\nRe-examined, The man with whom we spoke at brothel 48, was inside when we went, and came out to us when we called. I did not see him until I called out \"to whom does this house belong,\" he then came out and stood at the door. Nothing was said about a range of houses with a brick front, and nothing about the fire. Two days ago Mr May told me to try and find the man I had spoken to. On the first occasion that I went for him, an old woman told me that he had come up to the Government Offices, and on the second occasion a girl told me that he had gone to Canton.\n\nWONG ASHUN,-Called and examined.\n\nI am Shroff and Assistant Collector of Police and Lighting Rates. I know Mrs Caldwell, and have known her since she resided in the Central Police Station, four or five years ago. I do not know her surname. I do not know if Mrs Caldwell has any Chinese sisters by adoption. [Some Chinese characters were shown to witness,]-This is the name Shaplok. I have known her about ten years. She has been married ever since I knew her. Her husband keeps an opium and cheroot's shop. I do not know if Shaplok ever kept a brothel. I do not know whether she is sworn-sister, god-sister, or sister-in-law, by blood or usage to Mrs Caldwell. I do not know whether she is any relation, or connected in any way with Mrs Caldwell.\n\nCHARLES MAY,-Recalled,\n\nI have more evidence to give the Commission in this particular branch of the inquiry, but decline to do so. I consider that the Commission have asked questions of witnesses touching my private reputation, in no way pertinent to the inquiry, and not likely to tend to the slightest public good. I consider, further, that as the Commission has withheld witnesses from stating subjects as matters of repute, much which might have been elicited cannot by any possibility come otherwise before them. I will cite for instance the last witness Wong Ashun, who, when asked a question touching Shaplok and her relationship with Mrs Caldwell, said, \"I do not know; some people say so.\"\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL,--Called and examined.\n\nWith reference to charge 2 that I have a scandalous connection with brothel 48, I deny it altogether; it is an unfounded charge. Brothel 48 stands on lot 241 B, one of the lots sold by Siemssen & Co. through me to Lum Ateen, in June, 1857. I sold 8 lots to Lum Ateen; they had been previously valued [put in valuation 0,] by Mr Lapraik at $2,480. Lum Ateen gave $2,500. My instructions to Mr Stace as to the amount of purchase-money being $2,150 for the five lots, was a simple error of mine in making the calculations, when giving him the instructions; it should have been $2,050. At the time I sold the lots by private contract to Lum Ateen, and by auction to Mr Woods, there were no brothels in either of the houses on those lots; there had been before but not at the time I purchased them in 1854. Lum Ateen at the time he purchased the ten houses from me for the $2,200, wished to set off that amount against his claim on my estate---which was refused. At that time the leases of all those lots were in the hands of Chinese creditors, who had mortgages on them. I explained to Lum Ateen that until the dividends on my estate were paid, I could not give him up the leases. An arrangement was therefore made between us, that the completion of the transfer should be delayed for six months, the rent to be received by me in the meantime, and that I should pay him in lieu thereof $50 a-month, which arrangement was carried out and the bill of sale signed by me and delivered to him, on the expiration of the six months—the 15th December, 1857. I gave them into his hands on that day. A day or two afterwards I went to Mr Stace, and gave him instructions regarding the transfer, and gave him all the leases I had. There was no lease for lot 240; it was sold by the bailiff of the Supreme Court. From this time it never entered my head to speak to Mr Stace on the subject. He told me on two occasions it would be necessary to get the bills of sale. The first time I forgot it, and did nothing. The second time I wrote to Lum Ateen at Macao before I heard of these charges, and told him to come over with them, so that the transfer might be completed. There was no private arrangement of any kind between Lum Ateen and myself, that I should retain any direct or indirect interest in this property. I gave up the whole of my property for the benefit of my creditors. The dividend was 471/2 per cent, and I submit that it is not probable that had I retained any part of my estate, my Chinese creditors to whom I owed $12,000, or even Europeans, would voluntarily have accepted so small a dividend.\n\nAdjourned till to-morrow,\n\nNINTH DAY,\n\nSaturday, 12th June, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members.\n\n'NG MUN SOW,-Called and examined.\n\nI am Interpreter at the Police Court. I have known a female in this colony called Shaplok, about three or four years. She has no other name to my knowledge. I do not think she is married- she now lives in Queen's Road West. I last saw her about two months ago. She was about two years ago a keeper of a brothel in Hillier Street.\n\n(25)\n\nI cannot tell when she ceased keeping a brothel, nor do I know whether she keeps one now. I have known Mrs Caldwell since about five or six years ago. I know that Shaplok is an adopted sister of Mrs Caldwell, and the following are my reasons for knowing. Before Mrs Caldwell's conversion she frequently came to my house to visit my wife. Shaplok also had a son who had been a pupil of Legge's mission house. I have never been told by Mrs Caldwell that she was the adopted daughter of Shaplok's mother. Mangtai told me so. Caldwell only told me that Shaplok was her sister. The term used by her for sister might mean a sister by blood or by usage. Mangtai is a brother of Shaplok; according to his own explanation he is an adopted son of Shaplok's mother. There is a custom amongst Chinese girls whereby they become sworn sisters of each other. There are sworn brothers also. The general object is to bind themselves together for mutual support and assistance. The children of sworn sisters have no relationship amongst each other. I was present at the Central Station about ten days ago when Aping the silversmith was brought in to Mr May's private room by Lyons. Mr May asked him what he had got to say; Aping asked me \"What for.\" I then directed his attention to Mr May. Lyons said to him, \"did you not tell me that you knew something about Mr Caldwell?\" -he said that he did not know anything except from hearsay; he did not say what he had heard. I was once charged with perjury about a month or two before I joined the Chief Magistrate's Office five years ago, before Mr Mitchell the Assistant Magistrate. The Magistrate did not, to the best of my belief, say that he had no doubt of my guilt, but that from the conflicting evidence he was compelled to discharge me. I will not say so positively.\n\nI do not believe he said that if ever I came to give evidence before him he would not believe a word I said; what I understood him to say was that he would never allow me to interpret for him.\n\nALEXANDRE GRAND-PRE-Recalled.\n\nOn having my attention drawn to the letter of 24 December last from the Acting Colonial Secretary to the Superintendent of Police, I perceive that I am attached to the Registrar General's department second in rank and subordinate to the Registrar General, and that I and my staff are expected to co-operate generally in the service of the department, when not employed in the discharge of our peculiar duties; but I desire to explain to the Commission, that I have never been upon any occasion called upon by the Registrar General to assist or take part in the peculiar duties of his Office, nor have I ever done so. My time has been fully occupied in the discharge of my own duties.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL,-Called and examined as to charges 2, 5, 14, 15, 16 and 17.\n\nI had not then, and I have not now, any direct or indirect interest in lots 206, 263, 264, or the lot in the Western Market purchased by Lum Ateen through me from Mr Woods. It was a bona fide sale and purchase between Mr Woods and Lum Ateen. I remember having a conversation with Lyons, as to the party-walls on lot 206, when I told him that the man to whom they belonged had requested me to speak to the Surveyor General, and that he wished to pull down the corner wall and rebuilt it. I never told him, nor was there anything in my manner which could have led him to suppose that I was the owner of, or in any way interested in, the house. I spoke to the Surveyor General,\n\nAbout the latter end of February last, my old Comprador Sze-kai came to me, and said that he wanted to pay the ground rent for Lum Ateen's lots, as he had requested him to do so. He asked how much it was, and requested me to give him a note, so that he might take the money up to the Treasury. This reminded me that I had not paid the ground rent for Chun Atsoo's lots. I said, \"the ground rent is about $50, and as I shall go up to-day to pay the",

INGLIS,-Recalled.\n\n(28)\n\nThe brothel of which I spoke to the Commission as the one in which I saw Mrs Caldwell, was situate in Taiping-shan. I am not sure whether the whole of the houses had been removed from the Choong Wan at this time, but I am quite clear as to the situation of this house. I went to this brothel purposely to see the intended Mrs Caldwell, and this was the first occasion on which I did see her. I do not know anything about a formal marriage according to Chinese usage between this girl and Mr Caldwell. The first time I knew of Mrs Caldwell living with Mr Caldwell, Mr Caldwell resided at the Gaol. This may have been two or three weeks, or two or three months from the time I saw her at the brothel. I do not recollect now in what other place Mr and Mrs Caldwell resided after they left the Gaol, and before they went to the bungalow called \"Retreat.\" I do not recollect Mrs Caldwell's mother.\n\nallowed him to interpret for me in important cases, when I could avoid it, unless when he was watched by another interpreter; and further, that I would not now believe him on his oath.\n\nCross-examined,—On the 10th June instant, he was charged before me with receiving goods which had been stolen about the 30th May, and was discharged because the prosecutor was a convicted felon, a notoriously bad character, and bore the marks of former floggings. The principal witness also failed to appear. I allowed the prosecutor's fellow-convict to go out with a Policeman, to find the man who the prosecutor said had gone with him to Assow's house--but he could not find him.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\nCross-examined, I continued to pay the $50 a-month to Lum Ateen, up to the last day of the tenth Chinese month [14th December, 1857.] He himself has since then received the rent. I do not know what has become of the mesne assignments of the lots sold to Lum Ateen. I may have them still, but do not know. They were in Chinese. There was no deed or conveyance by which I surrendered my property in 1857 for the benefit of my creditors; it was done in a private manner, and I refer the commission to Siemssen & Co.'s letter. The title deeds of the property sold to pay my debts were not given up to Siemssen & Co., because they were mortgaged to Chinese creditors. The deeds relating to the lots sold to Woods, except lot 263, were also mortgaged, but were given up to the purchaser upon Siemssen & Co.'s guarantee that the mortgagee would receive his share of the proceeds. I sold all my landed property under Siemssen & Co.'s direction for account of the estate, and the purchase-money was paid over to Siemssen & Co. I could never have mort-gaged any of these lots twice over, because I had not possession of the leases. I cannot remember the numbers of the lots mortgaged, but the names of the mortgages are Wong Cheeyun, Lum Ateen, and Low Ashû.\n\nI know in what way Mrs Caldwell may be speculating beyond what she tells me. Supposing she wished to deceive me, it is possible she might speculate in brothel property. She has invested money of her sister's in houses. I can state on my honour, that she has, to my knowledge, no connection nor interest of any kind, in any brothel property, or any houses to which prostitutes resort.\n\nI never heard or was aware of any rumours of Mrs Caldwell's coming from a brothel, and no one would have dared to tell me so. I was never in the house in which my wife lived up to the time of my marriage. I am quite certain that this house was not a brothel, because at that time I knew most of the brothels here, and that was not one.\n\nI lived in the Gaol. When I speak of my wife living with me, I mean that she lived in a private house which I kept for her; she did not live in the Gaol with me. I recollect Boyle, who was Deputy Inspector of Police, and formerly master of the lorcha Centaur.\n\nI cannot recollect having ever had a contest in the street with Inspector Boyle concerning Mrs Caldwell. I once brought up a Chinaman before the Police Court, for insulting Mrs Caldwell in the street.\n\n(29)\n\nCross-examined, The time of my seeing Mrs Caldwell must certainly have been in 1844. I joined the Police Department in March 1844, and it was shortly after this that I saw her. I do not recollect Mrs Caldwell's being confined. Mrs Caldwell only lived in the Gaol a fortnight or three weeks. She then left because Awoon, (a Chinese woman who had previously lived with Mr Caldwell,) returned. It was not my impression that Mrs Caldwell was married to Mr Caldwell according to Chinese usage, because it is not customary in such cases; there was nothing whatever in her manner to denote that she was married; she was dressed as a Chinese. I recollect accompanying Mr and Mrs Caldwell to a pic-nic, which was about, but certainly after, the time of that visit. Mrs Caldwell, so far as I can recollect, was never in my house for at least a-year-and-a-half after this time. I recollect her having been in my house in the Old Bailey, after my return from Check-chu.\n\nI generally know to within $10 what money Mrs Caldwell has of mine, as I have nothing but my monthly salary, but do not know what she has of her sister's. I still pay $70 a-month regularly to Siemssen & Co. on account of Mr Rienaecker, which leaves me $260 a-month.\n\nWONG APING,-Called and examined.\n\nI am a Rope-maker, and reside opposite the Circular Buildings, Queen's Road West. I know a Chinese female called Shaplok, and have known her a long time. She lives in my house, and has done so since the beginning of the 7th moon of the 6th year of Hien-fung [about July, 1856.] She is married; her husband has gone to Shang-hae. She has no occupation, and is supported by her husband. She has never since she lived in my house kept a brothel, or used the rooms she occupies as such. I do not know whether she has ever kept a brothel. Before she came to my house she lived in Wellington Street, in Lee Kip-tai's house; but I do not know how long she lived there. She removed to my house because Lee Kip-tai's house was pulled down.\n\nCross-examined, - Lee Kip-tai was engaged in the Tientsin trade. The house Shaplok lived in was nearly opposite the Old Central Police Station. Shaplok went to Canton about the middle of April last, not the middle of May. I do not know if she is in any way connected with Mr Caldwell.\n\nSOONG AHING, Tepo of Choong Wan, [the central part of Victoria,]-Called and examined.\n\nI know a female called Shaplok. In 1856 she was living in Lee Kip-tai's house opposite the Old Central Police Station, in Wellington Street. She lived there a few months, I saw her there in the 2nd moon of the sixth year of Hien-fung, [about March 1856,] and about the 7th or 8th month of that year, [about August or September 1856.] She left in consequence of the house being about to be pulled down. She removed out of my district to Sheong Wan, but I do not know to what house. During the time that she resided in that house she did not keep a brothel; several years before the house had been a brothel, but in consequence of a disturbance, the landlord would not permit it to be a brothel any longer.\n\nCross-examined,-I do not know what Shaplok was before the 6th year of Hien-fung. I know that she is a friend of Mrs Caldwell, but not that she is in any way related to her.\n\nYIP AWONG,-Called and examined.\n\nI am collector of rents of the row of houses opposite the Taicheong Hong in Hillier Street; and collect them for Akwai. I know a female called Shaplok. I have collected the rents since 1852. Shaplok occupied one of these houses from 1852 to 1854. She has not occupied it since 1854. She occupied it as a family residence, and I am quite certain not as a brothel. I do not know where she removed to in 1854.\n\nMARY AYOW CALDWELL,-Called and examined.\n\nMy maiden name was Chun Ayow. I am the wife of Mr Caldwell. I came to this colony in 22d year of Taou-kwang-1842. I was then a child, and came with my mother to visit some relations. My mother was called by others Tuk-fook-p'o. I have one elder sister name Chun Atsoo, whose residence is in Macao. She has been here three times on a visit. I have no other sisters, and no brothers. Atsoo is my sister by blood. I know Shaplok, and saw her mother when a child. Shaplok's mother and mine were sworn sisters. This does not, according to Chinese usage, make me and Shaplok sisters. There is no other connection between myself and Shaplok. According to Chinese usage, even good friends call themselves brothers and sisters. When I came with my mother, I lived a few months in a house in Sheong Wan, and I afterwards lived in Choong Wan, where I lived until I was married to Mr Caldwell. My mother and Shaplok lived in that house, and another person called Ayee. Mangtai did not live with them. He is the god-son of my mother; as my mother had no son, a relation gave her his son, whom my mother adopted. The lower part of the house was occupied by a singing master and a tailor, and the upper part by myself and Shaplok as a family residence. From the time I lived in the house, till I left it as Mr Caldwell's wife, it was never a brothel. I was first married after the Chinese fashion to Mr Caldwell, in the end of the 23d year of Taoukwang-1843; all the ceremonies necessary according to Chinese usage to constitute a valid marriage, were adopted on that occasion. The ceremony was performed in a house belonging to Achow, in which I afterwards resided, and took place before I went to live with Mr Caldwell. I considered myself in all respect the wife of Mr Caldwell.\n\nI know Mr Inglis, the Governor of the Gaol, and first saw him in the beginning of the 24th year of Taoukwang—1844, three or four months after my marriage with Mr Caldwell. I remember upon that occasion we went on a pic-nic party to Chekchu. I am quite certain that I never saw Mr Inglis before. Mr Inglis never came to the house in which I resided before my marriage; no foreigner was allowed to enter it.\n\nFOONG AFEI, Tepo of Sheong Wan [Victoria west], -Called and examined.\n\nHillier Street is in my district. Before I was Tepo, I was a Sergeant of Police. I have been Tepo since the 8th month of the 6th year Hien-fung, [September 1856.] I have known Shaplok four years. In 1852 she lived in Peel Street, and I saw her in Lee Kip-tai's house, about the 5th or 6th moon of the 6th year of Hien-fung [about June or July 1856.] During the time I have been Tepo she has not lived in Hillier Street. I do not know of her having kept a brothel. While she was living in Lee Kip-tai's house, I know that he did not keep a brothel.",

        "content_text": "342\n\n(32)\n\nThe omitted passages refer to the place of residence of the Chinese. I mention this only as an instance, but I could give many more, and Mr May is aware of three which were the subject of a conversation between us.\n\nThat Mr Caldwell was guilty of the denial referred to in my letter, is, I apprehend, admitted; it certainly is proved; whether it is audacious is a matter of inference, and I adhere to the expression. I heard His Excellency yesterday. When stated, they will shew that since this state on the 10th ultimo, as recorded in my letter of the inquiry began, Mrs Caldwell has been sending round to every person from whom she can recollect to have received what they call presents, and desiring them, if called upon, to deny having given such presents, for that the charges are false.\n\nMr May and the Chief Magistrate, who were the Committing Justices, will be able to inform the Commission who procured bail for Ma-chow Wong, and whether the Chief Magistrate warned Mr Caldwell that it would be more decent for him to stay away from the inquiry upon his sitting on the bench, and offering suggestions favourable to the culprit. It came out in evidence before the Chief Magistrate, while I was present, that the witnesses in one of the cases were threatened with personal violence by Ma-chow Wong's friends—and I think either then or upon a previous day, as much as $1,000 was offered to buy off one or more of the Crown witnesses. The Chief Magistrate himself, and afterwards I, by his permission, addressed the Crown witnesses, and the Chinese audience through an Interpreter, and we dared them, telling them what would be the consequence to themselves if they attempted to execute their threats. This was my last appearance in any Court before proceeding the following week to India on sick leave. Captain Twiss and Mr Hannen, who were with me, can confirm what took place in Court that day.\n\nIt was on that occasion that, as stated in my letter, some of the business accounts of the pirate's hong were produced and read. I distinctly remember several entries of monies entered to Samkwei's credit. The word \"Sam-kwei\" was the first word I heard upon entering the Court. As to the bail having been but a month before in prison for debt—the man himself, Szekai, has proved that—and also that he was or had been Mr Caldwell's servant.\n\nI cannot understand how, after my repeated and solemn references to the danger of employing Mr Caldwell in any matter of State or Police—of which my official correspondence with the Executive Government subsequently to the proceedings in Executive Council, furnish some of the instances—His Excellency or any member of his government would venture upon the destruction of a single portion, much less the whole, of what I must pronounce to be the damning proofs of his guilt. I submit to the Commission, that this spoliation of evidence compels them to act upon the universal principle of all jurisprudence, \"Contra spoliatorem, omnia præsumuntur.\"\n\nI make these observations, because I am informed that shortly before, or shortly after, the ventilation of the subject-matter of the present inquiry, Mr Mongan having consulted the Executive Government through one of its officers as to what was to be done with the Ma-chow Wong papers still in his hands, was directed to destroy them. Not a syllable of this transpired, until subsequent to Mr May's examination before the Commission in this case. I had made inquiries of Mr D'Almada, [Clerk of the Councils,] who was sent for by the Commission on that occasion, and all that he told me was, that they had disappeared, and no one knew what had become of them.\n\nI wish to add, if Mr May be asked he will disclose a still more flagrant attempt to leave Ma-chow Wong at liberty to escape, to which Mr Caldwell's present assistant, Mr Grand-Pré, was party. I refer to the fact of Ma-chow Wong having been allowed by Mr Grand-Pré to remain an entire night, more than 12 hours, at entire liberty upon his personal parole. This was immediately before he was called upon to find bail.\n\nAs to the proceedings in Executive Council, Mr Dixson has proved, Mr Lane and Mr May will prove, what took place there. These correspondence with Mr Dixson, printer, in the China Mail of October last, will show the extraordinary method taken by His Excellency in dealing with the case, and which had the effect of putting at least one witness upon his trial on that occasion. I presume those papers are on record in the Colonial Secretary's office; if not the Newspaper will speak for itself.\n\nWade. I then volunteered my evidence to the Commission, which shewed that that was impossible; and now at the last moment it is suggested they have been burned. Eye-witnesses have assured me, that Mr Caldwell did admit at the trial at the Supreme Court his character of partner in a Lorcha with Ma-chow Wong, and that his share in it was still undisposed of. I was then in India, but I believe the Commission have in evidence before them a letter from Mr Caldwell to the same effect. The entries that appeared in the destroyed documents, will be proved by those who read or prepared them. My charge against Mr Caldwell with respect to them, was not that those entries were true, but that he has always acted as if they were true, and although they were brought to his knowledge, continued to the last steadily and zealously to befriend the pirate, whose hand had recorded them.\n\n(33)\n\nAppendix A to my letter of the 13th May, is a document prepared from Chinese information with a view to the proceedings against Ma-chow Wong, and not with a view to any proceedings against Mr Caldwell. Mr May lent it to me for my perusal, and I thought it so important, that I copied it. It throws much light upon a great deal of my evidence of to-day. His Excellency has not inserted amongst what he calls \"my charges\" the application made by Mr Caldwell at the Police office for the residue of the pirate's books and papers mentioned in my letter of the 13th. That application having been made as a friend of the convict, was of necessity acceded to by Mr May, the Superintendent of Police, under His Excellency's orders. Mr May therefore is here the proper witness, and I do hope that he will be examined as to it.\n\nThe result of the surrender of the one set of documents and the loss or destruction of the rest, is simply this: The Commission must now have recourse either to secondary evidence of their contents, or, which would be the fairest and more reasonable method, to the rule to which I have already adverted, of presuming every thing against the despoiler.\n\nI have not charged that any wife of the pirate after his conviction found a shelter in Mr Caldwell's house, but that the statement had been made to me, and that the affair of the application at the Police office induced me rather to give credit to that statement. I say so still, and Mr May to whom the statement was made, did but repeat it to me. This I believe to be the woman who had been previously mentioned in one of my letters to the Colonial Secretary, now in evidence before the Commission. It is notorious that Mr Caldwell's house is the resort for numbers of the wives and families of the Chinese. I have seen them myself coming out of his house.\n\nIn contrast with the course taken in the case of supposed pirates, I may mention another circumstance which occurred about the same time, and I think on the same day. A respectable Chinese trader, so it was represented to me by Mr Cooper Turner, his attorney, had arrived in the Colony with a quantity of merchandize. Before he could dispose of it he was seized by Mr Caldwell and thrown into prison under the deportation ordinance, as a suspected or dangerous character, and upon no other charge. Mr Cooper Turner applied to me for the liberation of the man upon heavy bail, not believing there was any opposition to it. I said, that when the application was made in form, I would grant it; it was made in form, and Mr Caldwell opposed it. He said, he believed that the man was a very bad character, and had been guilty of some offence which he did not specify; he was not prepared with any witnesses, but would get them in a few days. He said he could not give me an inkling into the case, for if he did, it would frustrate a great plan he had in view, for the detection and seizure of a great number of other offenders. I very reluctantly consented that the application for bail should stand over for a few days, when Mr Caldwell undertook to be prepared. He did not tell me that he had any intention to cause the man to be deported, or I should have liberated him on bail; but the Phoebe Dunbar, which was then taking on board her Emigrants for deportation to Hainan, sailed in two or three days afterwards, having, as I was afterwards to my great indignation informed, this merchant on board.\n\nThe deportation ordinance was not intended to apply to any case where security for the good character of the suspected person was offered. The books—particularly the Visiting Justices' book—of the Gaol, for the years 1857-8, contain other, and perhaps more glaring, proofs of the capricious and improper manner in which Mr Caldwell, as a Justice of the Peace, exercises his power of commitment. I suggest that the Commission send for those books. I refer particularly to a minute in the Visiting Justices' book during this year, signed by a member of this commission (Mr Lyall) and myself.\n\nI think there were about five-and-twenty people, whom I discharged on the occasion next in question. I was sitting in my rota as Justice of the Peace, according to a then recently gazetted arrangement. The police brought them up, and charged them with being notorious pirates. The deportation ordinance was then in full vigour, and my thought was to send them before His Excellency in Executive Council for deportation. But Mr Caldwell came before me, and on oath declared them to be peaceful traders: upon and not pirates not reputed pirates. This was in January, 1857, I think. At all events I had not then formed more than a very unpleasant suspicion of Mr Caldwell as stated in my first examination. I therefore gave credit to Mr Caldwell's evidence of reputation in favour of the accused, and there was only evidence of the Police to reputation of the opposite kind. I discharged every one of those persons on his application, ordering at the same time their boats to be restored. I therefore repeat what I said in my letter of the 13th on this subject, with what I have added there, viz, that within the last few weeks I had been informed by Mr May they were in fact pirates, and that the circumstances were such as to make it impossible for Mr Caldwell not to know of the fact.\n\nCHARLES MAY, Superintendent of Police,—Called and examined.\n\nThe preliminary remarks regarding my intimacy with Mr Caldwell, which I made on my previous examination, apply to this branch of the inquiry also. The conversations I had with Mr Caldwell on the subject of what he considered the injustice of making him responsible at the time of the conversations, for actions and incidents of his early...",

        "content_text": "118\n\n345\n\n(38)\n\nI do not recollect any more of the contents of the memoranda; I consider that what I have mentioned gives but a meagre account of what was contained in them.\n\nMany of the items as written on my memo. bore dates but I have not the slightest recollection as to what they were.\n\nAs evidence of Mr Caldwell's intimacy with Ma-chow Wong: I have seen Ma-chow Wong seven or eight times within Mr Caldwell's house, and I have seen him very many times entering or departing from Mr Caldwell's house. I may instance, on one occasion, I saw him in a room used as an office in Mr Caldwell's house in Gough Street. I went there early in 1857, about a case then under inquiry, in connection with the conspiracy to carry off Colonel Caine and Mr Caldwell. Ma-chow Wong was then seated in Mr Caldwell's office. Mrs Caldwell was there seated, and Mr Caldwell. We had some conversation referring to the case. Upon another occasion I saw Wong Akee in Mr Caldwell's house, some time after he returned from Shanghae, I think in 1855. I cannot recall any particular times, but those two. I have never seen him there in the position of a friend—in the one case already mentioned, he was there, I believe, on business connected with the prosecution, and on the other occasion he did not appear to be there as a friend. I know that in 1855, when he came back from Shanghae, he brought some silks with him; Mr Caldwell told me so. I purchased one of the pieces of silk from Mr Caldwell. Ma-chow Wong's manner and bearing when I have seen him with Mr Caldwell were different from those usually exhibited by a Chinaman in an Englishman's house. I have not observed any other signs of intimacy when I have seen him in Mr Caldwell's house.\n\nI directed early in 1857, Mr Schaeffer, of Victoria, came to me, and said that he believed that his lorcha called the Alma, which had been taken by pirates, was then lying off the Seamen's Hospital, and he wanted Police assistance. Inspector Roberts, and a party of police, to seize the supposed Alma. In due time Mr Roberts returned and reported to me that he had seized the vessel, although he knew that it was not the Alma, because he found about 36 cannon on board—that he had left constables in charge of the boat—that from what the people on board told him he had been induced to call at Mr Caldwell's office, and that Mr Caldwell told him that the lorcha belonged to him, and I believe Ma-chow Wong; and that he wanted then my orders as to the further disposal of the boat. Seeing no cause of suspicion, and that Mr Caldwell claimed the boat, I directed that the Police should be withdrawn from her, without any further inquiry. I am not quite certain, but I think Mr Roberts said, Ma-chow Wong was with Mr Caldwell at the time he went to him.\n\nAnother instance is that connected with the Gold Dust Robbery, a piracy committed in the vicinity of Hongkong, in 1856, in which about $5,000 or $6,000 worth of gold dust was plundered from some returned emigrants. There were some European, and some Chinese prisoners in the case; they were tried in the Supreme Court and convicted. About $1,000 worth of gold dust was found in the possession of different prisoners, and remained in the hands of the police. It was a very difficult and complicated case: the Chinese concerned in it were men of considerable influence and wealth, and but for the zealous assistance given to me by Tong Aku, I am certain the case would not have arrived at a successful termination. I had great difficulty in getting witnesses to speak as to the identity of certain prisoners, and the actual losers of the gold dust—the returned emigrants—although repeatedly written to, and the case remanded from time to time in order to obtain their evidence if possible, persisted in non-attendance. It was stated to me during the progress of the case, and has been stated to me since, and I think Assow the Police Court Interpreter can say more, shewing that there was some connection between some of the prisoners in the gold dust robbery and Ma-chow Wong. The $1,000 worth of gold dust in the hands of the police taken from the prisoners remained in the same custody after the conviction, until some months subsequently I got an intimation from the Acting Colonial Secretary, that a petition had been presented through Mr Caldwell, for its delivery to certain of the returned Emigrants, from whom it had been plundered. I immediately waited upon the Acting Colonial Secretary, and told him that I considered that as these men had in no way rendered assistance in the conviction of the prisoners, in fact had purposely stayed away after their presence had been demanded, that in reason they ought not to receive the gold dust, and secondly that they had no legal right to it. Much more was said, but this was the purport of it. I urged strongly that the property should not be given up, as it would be a dangerous precedent. I was over-ruled, and I then asked permission to deliver the gold dust to Mr Caldwell, so that upon his shoulders should rest the entire responsibility of its rendition to the claimants. This was assented to, and I subsequently delivered to Mr Caldwell at the Central Police Station the whole of the gold dust excepting a very small quantity—7 taels,—which was reserved for certain of the boat people who had had it in their custody, and had been actually witnesses in the case. When I delivered the gold dust to Mr Caldwell, I observed to him, “I am indignant at this proceeding—there is the gold dust; I wash my hands of it altogether; I think you will have very great difficulty in finding out whether they are emigrants or not, but it rests upon your shoulders.\" Mr Caldwell replied, \"I'll take very good care to obtain good security, but at all events Jack will take care of me.\" By Jack I knew he meant Ma-chow Wong. At that time I was standing in the Registration office at the Central Police Station, and saw Ma-chow Wong come into the office with five or six Chinamen, whom I understood to be the recipients of the gold dust. Some short time afterwards, I got a note (R) from Mr Caldwell, asking me to give him the remaining seven taels of gold dust, and I did. I sent an order I think to Mr Grand-Pré, to deliver it to him.\n\nAbout a month subsequent to the apprehension of Ma-chow Wong, a Chinaman presented to me as Sitting Magistrate a Chinese petition. This was interpreted to me by, I believe, Tong Akü, to the effect that the petitioner was one of the emigrants who had been plundered at the gold dust robbery—that neither he nor any of the real emigrants had ever received one fraction of the gold dust, which he understood had been recovered from the pirates—that he had been told that certain men had falsely represented themselves to be the emigrants—that these men had been obtained by Ma-chow Wong—each of them had received a small amount, but that the bulk of the gold dust went to Ma-chow Wong, Mr Caldwell's servant and Mr Caldwell. I asked the petitioner whether he had been deputed by the other emigrants to make this representation. He said that he had, and that they had given him a letter stating what he had represented in his petition. I asked him to produce this letter; he said he had not got it with him, but he could get it. I then told the man that there could be no difficulty as to ascertaining whether the men who had received the gold dust were the real emigrants or not, because I was aware security had been taken for them. I said, \"You go to Mr Caldwell with this note,\" which I then gave him, \"and if you are not satisfied with what is stated to you by Mr Caldwell, come back to me with the letter you speak of, and when I have that, an investigation shall be made.\" The man went away with my note; he returned bringing me a note (S) from Mr Caldwell, which stated that Mr Caldwell could not satisfy the man, because the security papers which he had taken were in the office of the Superintendent of Police. Owing to the security papers not being found in the office of the Superintendent of Police, I directed the man to come again on a subsequent day, being careful to bring the letter with him; but he did not again make his appearance. My belief is that the security papers were not deposited in the office of the Superintendent of Police; they were not given to me, and to the best of my recollection I never saw them.\n\n(39)\n\nOn the first day of my examination I stated, that I had only on two occasions had differences with Mr Caldwell. I gave one of the instances before, and now wish to give the other. When Mr Caldwell was in command of the Eaglet, I think the latter part of 1856, a peculiar case occurred of a man being seized in a brothel by the aid of a Police Constable, who said he was under the impression he was seizing a thief. A man who duped the Constable, and one or two confederates robbed the man of more than $100, and the thieves made their escape with the booty, leaving the Constable with the victim. That led to my knowing the affair, and also to my obtaining information as to the plunderers. About a week after the robbery, a Constable got information that the man who had taken the principal part in the duping and robbery, a well-known bad character, was in the upper part of the house of Ma-chow Wong in the Central Market. The Constable went into the house with the intention of seizing the man, but was met by Ma-chow Wong at the top of the stairs, who forcibly prevented his going further, and while the struggle was going on between the Constable and Ma-chow Wong, the thief jumped out of the window and escaped. I directed Ma-chow Wong's apprehension, and he was brought to the Station, and I think, locked up. I went to the market to make personal inquiry and examine the place, and on my way back to the Station met Mr Caldwell coming down the hill in great haste and visible anger. He immediately accosted me with exclamations of the shame of the arrest of Ma-chow Wong, and saying, \"You think you've got him safe now.\" I recollect telling him that I had nothing more to do with Ma-chow Wong than any one else, and that he must be arrested if he hindered the police in the execution of their duty. Mr Caldwell said, \"I suppose you will let me bail him.” Ma-chaw Wong appeared next morning at the Police Court. Mr Mitchell was the sitting Magistrate. I heard at the time that Mr Caldwell was present at the investigation. I was not there. Ma-chow Wong was discharged.\n\nI have for very many years known Ma-chow Wong; I should say since 1849. I knew for years before that of the existence of some man whom I afterwards knew by name to be Ma-chow Wong, and I knew that that man afterwards known as Ma-chow Wong was Mr Caldwell's principal and most relied-upon informant. During the whole of that time, whenever reference was made to Ma-chow Wong either by subordinate officers of Police, by old European residents, or by Chinese, they always coupled his name with some epithet having reference to his bad character. As a matter of repute and notoriety, I know that Ma-chow Wong has for years been considered an extortioner, a recipient of bribes from gambling-house keepers, a confederate of pirates, and a receiver of stolen goods. I also knew that because of his well-known position with regard to Mr Caldwell, which every Chinaman in the colony very well knew, Ma-chow Wong was supposed to be in possession of great power, and was held in great dread. Of the extent of the dread I became fully aware, when it was my duty to investigate the cases against him. I spoke to very many Chinese of standing and property, and they all exhibited a knowledge of his evil character, but a reluctance to do more than own it. As an instance, at the time that an appeal was made to His Excellency for the pardon of Ma-chow Wong, I knew that a Chinese petition numerously signed had been presented in his favour. Late one evening, one of the wealthiest, perhaps the wealthiest, Chinaman in the colony came to me, and said that he also represented the feelings of another wealthy Chinaman. The man said in broken English, \"I am almost afraid to come to you, I come all same thief, but I want you to tell the Governor, that the Chinese who signed the petition dared not refuse to do so; but if the Governor really wants to know what those people mean, who signed it, let him give each of them one black ball and one white one, and there won't be very many in favour of Ma-chow Wong.\" I told him, \"I can't tell the Governor any such nonsense, if you are a race of cowards...",

I was ordered up to Whampoa about this time, and when I came back I did not know what to do with them; they were an incum- brance in the office.

He never sent to the office any certificate or report upon them, or anything in the nature of a report. I never heard him say that he was investigating, or had investigated them. There is not now a single book or paper sent me to be examined, in existence. I cannot recollect seeing, when I was examined at the Council, any manuscript papers in His Excellency's hands, nor do I remember His Excellency referring to any such.

I said nothing to him about the $1000; this was two or three days before my mother saw Mrs Caldwell. I also went the second day after my mother had been to Mrs Caldwell, and asked if that business had been settled. Mr Caldwell said he did not know,—it was Commissariat business. There was not on that occasion anything said to Mr Caldwell about the $1,000. On the first occasion when I went to Mr Caldwell, I said I would give him some present according to politeness. Mr Caldwell replied \"O! I don't want it.\" Mr Caldwell had been ordered by the Commissariat to enquire after the men's characters, and I know he did write to them. I did not obtain the contract. I never paid the $1,000, or any part of it, nor made any present. I did go to Mrs Caldwell on the morning of the day on which it was to be decided who should be the contractor, and I alluded to the promise of my mother as to the $1,000, for which Mrs Caldwell said there was no necessity. I also mentioned that the tenders had been decided on, and that I had not obtained the contract. Mr Caldwell did on the first occasion tell me he had already made a report to the Commissariat about me and my securities, and could not write any more.\n\nCHARLES MAY,-Recalled.\n\nAfter reading my evidence given at last meeting, on the subject of what took place at the Executive Council, and hearing Mr Mongan's evidence now given to the Commission, I adhere to the statement I then made.

Mr Dixson did not say one word while Mr Mongan was in the room.\n\nPANG WA-PANG,-Recalled.\n\nI adhere to my statement before made, that no promise was ever made to Mr Caldwell that this money would be paid, and I never told Inspector Roberts that such promise had been made. I now say, that before the steamer went out, I said to Mr Caldwell that I would make him some polite present, to which Mr Caldwell replied, \"that is not right, that is not right.\" This was the answer I gave to Roberts. Although I did not think Mr Caldwell would receive it, I was so very grateful, and the Chinese custom is so strong on that point, that I went again to offer Mr Caldwell the $100; half of this was on account of Achong. I am acting partner with Achong in the lorcha business and I told him before I was going to do it. Achong told a man in his employ to give it to me, which he did. No one accompanied me when I went there. I carried the money in my own handkerchief. I am quite certain I did not take the money back with me, and that it has never been returned to me since.\n\nCross-examined,——I remember that I went to Mr Caldwell, and that my mother went to Mrs Caldwell, with a request that Mr Caldwell would write to the Commissary General, and obtain for me the contract for supplying the troops with provisions. I sent my mother to Mrs Caldwell to offer her $1,000 if I obtained the contract. I did not order her to go, nor did I know before that she was going, but when she came back she told me she had done so. In my evidence, at page 56, I did not say I sent my mother. I replied to my mother, \"If you said so, let it be so.\" My mother told me that she had been to Mrs Caldwell.\n\nRe-examined,-The first visit of my mother to Mrs Caldwell on the occasion referred to, was on the 4th month of this year (May). My mother went to ask Mrs Caldwell because it was an affair between women, and that was in accordance with Chinese custom. I did not think she had any power to get the contract. She went to her instead of my going to Mr Caldwell, because it was more convenient as I might not find him in, and she was to tell Mr Caldwell what my mother had said. It is not the custom for Chinese women to go to Mrs Caldwell, when they want anything from the Government. It is sometimes the case, but not a fixed custom, that Chinese women offer money, or a present, or valuables to Mrs Caldwell on such occasions. Mrs Caldwell does not accept these offers, nor does she, properly speaking, assist them in getting what they want, but they only go to speak with her about it. She is not in the habit of using her influence with Mr Caldwell for this purpose, but I mean that people go to her that she may tell Mr Caldwell what they say. I have not had any conversation with Mr or Mrs Caldwell on this subject since my last examination. I have not seen Mrs Caldwell since, and only saw Mr Caldwell as he was going home that evening. They have neither of them sent to me nor desired me to come to them. I did not offer the $1,000 because Mrs Caldwell had accepted the $100 on the previous occasion. Had my tender been accepted, I should have made some present, but not have given the $1,000, as that had been refused. I never made or offered any present to Mr or Mrs Caldwell, except on these two occasions.\n\n( 43 )\n\nKWOK ACHONG, P. & O. Co.'s Comprador.-Called and examined.\n\nI know the last witness,--he never was my partner at any time. I had a half share in a lorcha three or four years ago; the other half was owned by several others. Last witness is not agent for me nor the other owners; he had a lorcha of his own.\n\nI remember both these lorchas-mine and his-being captured by pirates. My partner and last witness got the assistance of a man-of-war which brought the lorchas back; I did not go to Mr Caldwell. The last witness never came to me about paying expenses incident on the recapture. He never spoke to me about a present to Mr Caldwell.\n\nI had a conversation with Mr Dixson on the subject of the strange and mysterious interest which had been exhibited in favour of Ma-chow Wong, and expressing my inability to account for it. Mr Dixson said, \"Why, other government officers have had trade with Ma-chow Wong as well as Mr Caldwell.\" I said, \"I dare say that is true, I suppose you allude to somebody much bigger,\" in a significant manner; I said nothing in return. I have no knowledge of my own of any other Government officer than Mr Caldwell having trade with Ma-chow Wong. I know that about two or three months back, a Chinaman, who, from all I had known bore an honest character,--he was called on board the men-of-war \"honest Jack,\" or some such name.\n\nCHARLES MAY-Recalled.\n\nI know that a Comprador for Her Majesty's Ships, was apprehended by Mr Caldwell. I know that on the occasion of his apprehension, the Acting Colonial Secretary and Mr Caldwell, without any Warrant from the Magistrate, and having taken the Police without any authority, went over with them to the mainland, and searched a house there with reference to the same case. I do not know the immediate cause of the apprehension, but a watch was found which was claimed by Mr Lapraik, who had lost it some years previously. The case was disposed of, and the man discharged. Another charge against him was brought forward supported by the evidence of convicts. I think it can be ascertained by the Commission, that an examination was held in the Gaol by the Acting Colonial Secretary and Mr Caldwell, with reference to the charge against this man. I believe that Police Inspector Roberts was examined by the Acting Colonial Secretary within the Gaol, and gave important testimony as to the falsity of the charge. I am not certain whether his evidence was upon a second charge or upon a third charge, got up by convicts. To the best of my recollection, the same convicts who gave evidence against this man gave evidence in the false charge against Tong Akú as well.\n\nThe Chief Magistrate, who investigated both cases, can give certain evidence on this head. In reference to the reason why this man was accused, it was told me—and I believe you will get direct evidence of it from Assow, the Police Court Interpreter, and I think Roberts and Lyons—that the man had incurred the enmity of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nAbout February or March, 1857, an English merchant (name handed into Chairman) put into my hands a Chinese letter, which he requested I would take the best means of getting interpreted, without letting the contents be known, because it was one of a series of letters of which he trusted ultimately to become the possessor, involving a charge of a grave nature in reference to Ma-chow Wong and Mr Caldwell through his family. I got the letter translated, and it appeared from that translation to relate to a seizure of tea by one of Her Majesty's Ships, and contained reference to a demand for services rendered by Ma-chow Wong and Mrs Caldwell in causing the restoration of the tea to some claimant.\n\nThe Merchant who gave me the letter mentioned the name of the person who had given him the letter, and that is the name handed in. I desire to bring to the knowledge of the commission a matter, so that it may not be said I have abstained from giving them any information within my knowledge.\n\nI had a conversation with the Attorney General, as stated by him about the communication from Mrs Caldwell to certain parties that they were to state that they have not given presents. I shall, in the course of the investigation, endeavour to ...",

        "content_text": "355\n\n( 58 )\n\ntion which took place within the Gaol, in which the Acting Colonial Secretary took part.\n\nI have no recollection when Beaver was before me, of any documents or Chinese papers being produced against him, and I should say on the face of it, that none were; for if such had been the case, I should have committed him and handed him over to the Attorney General. I may mention that in any cases that Mr Caldwell brought before me, when there were Chinese papers, I have requested him to look into them and take charge of them, and if anything criminatory were found in them, to have it ready against the next hearing of the case.\n\nMr Caldwell appeared at the Police Court in a case in which Ma-chow Wong was charged with obstructing the police, and Mr May came up afterwards and expressed his regret that he was not up before the case was dismissed. Beaver's arrest must have been nearer October than June; I cannot fix the time. The first time he was brought before me by Mr Caldwell, then by Roberts. He has been frequently in the hands of the Police; he was rather of the Eli Boggs stamp.\n\nAdjourned till 12 o'clock to-morrow.\n\nSEVENTEENTH MEETING. Wednesday, 30th June, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent-All the Members, except Mr Scarth. [Handed in (R) a copy of the Notification appointing Mr Grand-Pré in Mr Calwell's stead.\n\nANDREW LYSAGHT INGLIS, Governor of the Gaol, ---Called and examined.\n\nI don't know anything of my own knowledge about Mr Caldwell's connections with Ma-chow Wong. All that I know is from hearsay from Chinamen, and I believe that is not acceptable as evidence. I never saw Ma-chow Wong to my knowledge, until he was handed into my custody. There is no end to the number of Chinese with whom I have spoken concerning Ma-chow Wong. I expect it was hearsay on hearsay on the part of the Chinese I have spoken with. [The Commission decided to let Mr Inglis state what he had heard, reserving to themselves the acceptance of it as evidence.] The connection was rumoured to be in a variety of ways. I have heard it said that Mr Caldwell's former Chinese wife, Awoon, was exceedingly friendly with Ma-chow Wong in the early period of my residence. I have also heard it mentioned that Awoon had adopted Ma-chow Wong, as her adopted son. Awoon is much older than Mr Caldwell; there should not be much difference in age between Awoon and Ma-chow Wong. From what I can recollect, I have since that time heard Mr Caldwell on oath in Court deny that connection in toto, and as I have nothing but hearsay to the contrary, on his having done so, concluded that I was misinformed. I do not know that I have heard it more than once. It was first when Ma-chow Wong was apprehended, when his affairs became the subject of conversation. I have heard there was a great intimacy between Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong for a number of years.\n\nI recollect that in my letter to the Acting Colonial Secretary on the 14th July, 1857, I made an erroneous statement, that Ma-chow Wong had adopted Awoon. I recollect so far of the general statement made in that letter, and that, the day or two after, I was informed by the party, from whom I got the information, that the connection was the other way. I was applied to by the Governor for a report concerning Ma-chow Wong, and hence this I am giving the matters as mere rumour from individuals, and I would rather decline answering the question who was the particular individual from whom I got this information. I understood Mr Caldwell to deny all connection in any shape or any way, by blood or usage, between himself or any female with whom he had connection, and Ma-chow Wong. No other person told me of the one fact mentioned in my letter, except the one alluded to. I received it from that person as being popular report. I have had conversations with several Chinese about Ma-chow Wong, but this particular information was only received through one. I cannot give the commission any general information, as I was absent from the Colony during the years in which the things happened which are now being investigated. I felt convinced of the fact of Ma-chow Wong's connection with Mr Caldwell, when I told the Chief Magistrate of it. It was Mr Caldwell's statement in Court which convinced me I was in error.\n\nI do not of my own knowledge know what Mr Caldwell's business connections with Ma-chow Wong were - nothing further than from hearsay. I cannot name any one who can give information. I found myself mistaken in one popular report in which I placed credence, and I might be wrong in others, and therefore do not like to mention other reports I have heard as I might be wrong in them as I was before. I think, probably, I had better decline answering questions as to reputed connections, as I have been already once mistaken. The proceedings before the Police Court seldom come to my knowledge; the prisoners are sent into the Gaol on a warrant. I do not recollect the case in which a man was charged with stealing a watch from Mr Lapraik, beyond the mere fact. I do not know whether the charge was got up in the Gaol, I cannot say whether Mr Caldwell was in the Gaol getting evidence on it - Mr Caldwell, as a Justice of the Peace, has permission to enter the Gaol, - but I can find out by reference to the books if the day was given me.\n\n( 59 )\n\nI cannot say I know anything generally of cases in which Chinese of good repute had been arrested, thrown into Gaol, and refused bail, upon charges got up in the Gaol, or whether Mr Caldwell has been personally present at such times. There have been numbers of prisoners in on Mr Caldwell's warrant, but I have not inquired into the particulars of the cases. Information has been given to myself, to Mr Caldwell, and to Dr Bridges, by Ma-chow Wong since his conviction, in many different cases - only one case, which I can recollect, in which a man was actually arrested. The information has not invariably been through me in the first place. Ma-chow Wong has been sometimes in my office, and has given me information in the presence of Dr Bridges and Mr Caldwell - he has also given me information personally in the Gaol - he has also, I rather think, given Mr Caldwell information, who has come for that purpose to the Gaol. I can say nothing further on this point. I recollect Akü, the Police Court interpreter, being charged with extortion, and that Pang Poi-yeen, a convict, and another convict gave evidence against him. I cannot say of my own knowledge that Ma-chow Wong had any connection with the case, but I recollect it was reported to me at the time by the turnkey, that Ma-chow Wong was very busy going about amongst the prisoners, and that the impression was in Gaol, that he was at the root of the matter. I do not know that Mr Caldwell was engaged in getting up evidence against Tong Aku. Pang Poi-yeen was in the habit formerly of writing many letters, which he sent through me to the Acting Colonial Secretary. They were generally long epistles, covering several sheets of paper, and I did not master their contents. All his letters related more or less to the gold dust robbery, but he was striving to exonerate himself.\n\nI recollect a particular reference to a watch which was stolen. The Acting Colonial Secretary at that time was in the habit of coming in to the Gaol every day or every other day, so that it is impossible for me to recollect any particular occasion. I do not recollect with respect to Pang Poi-yeen's statement, anything transpiring about a watch stolen from Dr Bridges, but afterwards there was a man in Gaol who was said to have stolen a watch - which I know had been stolen from the Acting Colonial Secretary.\n\nI do not recollect whether Ma-chow Wong mentioned the matter to me first. I think it very probable, and at that time I seldom went down into Gaol, but Ma-chow Wong volunteered some information on some point. My invariably shewing him a cold shoulder, at length led him to discontinue his communications, and I have had no information from him on any subject for many months past. I think I have written notes to Mr Caldwell about information received from Ma-chow Wong, and I think there was a note written to Mr Caldwell in this particular case. I can't exactly say, there were so many conversations on this subject, but the information may have come first from Kum-yee - one of the political prisoners. The arrest of the prisoner in the case was certainly through information supplied by Kum-yee and Ma-chow Wong conjointly.\n\nRe-examined. When I say hearsay, I mean reputation or rumour current in this Chinese community, as to the nature of the connection between Ma-chow Wong and Mr Caldwell. I know one or two instances of adopted children, in which children adopted by the female are not considered as the adopted of the male, but I am not sufficiently conversant with Chinese usage in this respect to say, positively, whether the adoption by Awoon imports the adoption by Mr Caldwell or not. I would not consider in the case of a European living with a Chinese concubine, if such concubine had adopted another as her son, or been adopted by another as his daughter, such European would certainly not be deemed the son or father, as the case may be, of the person adopting or adopted by such concubine; but Mr Caldwell's was an exceptional case - not in the matter of his living with Awoon, but from his position with respect to the Chinese people - his intimate knowledge of their language and customs - he would be apt to be considered by the Chinese community to be more amenable to their customs, than any other European in this Colony.\n\nI understood Mr Caldwell to be under the impression, when he made the statement in Court on oath, that the report alluded to the present Mrs Caldwell. I don't at this present time recollect the exact words used by Mr Caldwell, further than that they were very explicit, and led me to believe that he denied any connection through any females of his family with Ma-chow Wong at any time. I personally heard him in Court say this. Beyond this denial of his own, I have never heard anything to cause me to doubt the story, which I at first believed. At the date of such denial, it was not the general impression that Ma-chow Wong had adopted him or his present wife, I had mistaken my informant on that point.\n\nIn connection with this adoption, Mr Davies, I think had heard from me of such adoption. He had been under the impression previously, that Ayow was the person meant, but I informed him as well as the Acting Colonial Secretary, that it was Awoon who was meant. Besides, my letter which has been produced, shews expressly that Awoon was the party intended, and not the present Mrs Caldwell. I recollect, very probably since this enquiry began, restating this to the Attorney General, but I cannot recollect the date.\n\nCross-examined,-Regarding the Stanley murder case, from the information which I have received in the Gaol, I feel perfectly convinced that a murder has been committed. Mr Caldwell received the information upon which he acted from Ma-chow Wong in my presence, and in presence of the Acting Colonial Secretary. I can give no reason for their coming down to make the inquiry, beyond their anxiety to carry out the ends of justice.\n\nI had, in the first place, communicated Ma-chow Wong's information to the Acting Colonial Secretary.",

        "content_text": "208\n\n366\n\n(80)\n\nMr Caldwell. Lûn Cheong, the prisoner, said that during Ma-chow Wong's investigation at the Magistrate's Office, Ma-chow Wong's family was living with him. One day he went home and said to Ma-chow Wong's wife, that very likely Ma-chow Wong's case would be committed to the Supreme Court, and that Ma-chow Wong's wife was not pleased; he also said that some of the Sunon men had petitioned on behalf of Ma-chow Wong, and had gone round the town to get shops' signatures; that he himself, being a native of Sunon, refused to go to get signatures. Because of this, he says Ma-chow Wong's wife had an ill-feeling towards him; he said he believed that Ma-chow Wong's wife herself complained to Mr Caldwell, and for that reason, he believes that he was prosecuted.\n\nI was Gaoler at the time of Eli Boggs' trial, and attended in Court as Gaoler on the occasion of his trial. I took down to the Supreme Court a tin box containing articles belonging to him. I received the tin box from the Police, but do not recollect from which officer. It was placed on the table at the Court. I do not remember what was in it, nor do I remember anything being taken out. I was present when Boggs made his defence. I think he had some papers in his hand. I don't remember whether he read from them. I am not certain whether the box was handed over to the Police after the trial. If it had been taken back to the Gaol, it would have been deposited in the Store-room. I have never seen it since. I do not remember seeing or hearing at the trial any paper containing Mr Caldwell's name read. I heard Mr Caldwell's name mentioned by Boggs in his defence.\n\nI have heard from Kwei Ch'oi, a Chinese female, that she was sent for by Mrs Caldwell. Mrs Caldwell said, \"people are saying that you gave me a gold bangle. Did you give it me or not.\" Kwei Ch'oi replied that she had not given her one. I have not heard of any other person being sent for.\n\nCross-examined,-I went to Kwei Ch'oi's house on the occasion I speak of. I visit her now and then. I think this was about a fortnight ago, but I heard the report from several other women before. I did not go to her house for the purpose of questioning her about this. I asked her whether she had put a gold chain into a loaf of bread and sent it as a present to Mr Caldwell. She said \"No.\" I asked about the gold chain because I had heard of it. I haven't heard about the intimidation of witnesses who were to appear before this commission, but judge from my own arrest. I told Mr May when asked that I was afraid to come before the Commission to say anything against Mr Caldwell; if I should, no doubt I would get into trouble. I also heard that a man conversing with another said, \"I hear that Assow is going to give evidence against Mr Caldwell; he appeared to be angry, and my reply to the best of my knowledge was, 'well; if he should, he will not get clear off himself.'\" This man was the Chinese Sergeant of Police, Lo Ahing. I think it was about the beginning of last month that I was arrested.\n\nCross-examined, I recollect the examination in the Gaol Yard of the men who were sent to Hainan. There was a great number of men apprehended in Bonham Strand, some of whom were put in the Debtor's Gaol, and some in the Mill Yard. I remember a large number of these men being examined in the Debtor's Gaol Yard. I do not remember the Attorney General being present. I remember Mr May and Mr Caldwell. The prisoners deported to Hainan were mustered by Mr May—the list drawn up—and Mr May and Mr Cluff were present. I do not recollect the Attorney General or Mr Caldwell being present. Mr Caldwell came to me the day after and inquired about two men who had been sent away, who ought not to have been sent. Mr Caldwell had nothing that I am aware of to do with the deportation of these men; it was conducted by Mr May, who was then Acting Sheriff and Superintendent of Police. Mr Caldwell mentioned the names of two men, but I do not remember the names. After I told him that they were mustered under the orders of my superior Mr May, my recollection was that I could not help myself, and that I made out a rough draft of the list of prisoners to be deported, and these were finally arranged by Mr May. This occasion, on the morning of their embarkation, is to my knowledge the only one on which the prisoners were examined.\n\nLEONARDO D'ALMADA E CASTRO,-Called and examined.\n\nI am Clerk of Councils and Chief Clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office. I did not officiate as Clerk of Councils when the enquiry concerning Ma-chow Wong was being made by the Executive Council. My brother, who is now sick, officiated.\n\n[The proceedings of the several meetings of the Executive Council at which reference was made to the case of Ma-chow Wong were read to the Commission by permission of His Excellency the Governor, from which it appeared that Mr Mongan was examined previously to Mr May and that the Council finally decided on rejecting the petition for the release of Ma-chow Wong, upon a perusal of the translation by Mr Wade of the papers found on Beaver; Mr Wade stating that he had not had time in any way to examine the papers referred to in Mr May's memoranda.]\n\nROBERT EDWARD MACKENZIE,-Called and examined.\n\nRe-examined, I have never as Gaoler had reason to remark or complain upon the great number of commitments or liberation on warrants signed by Mr Caldwell under the deportation ordinance. There was only one occasion on which we were very much overcrowded with prisoners. I think that about that time a great many prisoners were received from several justices. I think there were no more upon Mr Caldwell's warrant than upon others.\n\nMr Caldwell has never, during my service as Gaoler, interfered in any way with the Gaol, the prisoners, or the officers. There was a difficulty in mustering the men for deportation, the names which some of them gave being different from those on the list, and I think Mr May called Mr Cluff to interpret. I did not see Mr Anstey present.\n\nCHARLES MAY,-Recalled at his own request.\n\nI recollect the man Beaver being brought before me charged with piracy. Mr Caldwell was the first witness and stated that from documentary evidence, which he would produce on a future day, he would show the prisoner's confederation with pirates.\n\n(81)\n\nI was asked for the promissory note. If the man was to be released, it was to be $800; if he was to be imprisoned, it was to be $400. I do not know if $400 were paid; my share has not been paid. My partner came to me for it, but I would not pay; I don't know whether he has paid or not. I told this story to the Attorney General without mentioning names. I mentioned Shaplok's name and the name of the partner who spoke to me. I only mentioned Shaplok's name to Mr Lane. It was not because I was afraid that I did not mention Mr Caldwell's name. The pawnshopman has told me that the $400 have been paid. He asked for $50 to be paid to Shaplok as a cumshaw. I heard that the $400 had been paid to Shaplok; the $50 was also paid to Shaplok.\n\nI do not remember a petition being sent into the Governor for the pardon of Ma-chow Wong, nor do I remember speaking to Tam Achoey about it. I recollect going to Mr May by request of Tam Achoey. I cannot recollect what I said to Mr May. Upon hearing Mr May's evidence read over, I now recollect having said to him what he states I said about the Ma-chow Wong petition.\n\nJOHN ROBERTS,-Recalled.\n\nI remember being instructed by Mr May to take possession of a lorcha off Wanchi, which was supposed to be the Alma. I did seize her and found that she was not the Alma. I found about 36 cannon on board; there were certainly not less. I suppose she could carry about 2,000 piculs of rice. Some of the guns were mounted, and some were dismounted, lying forward. From what I was told on board, I went to Mr Caldwell's office and saw Mr Caldwell. There was with him at the time a man whom I did not know, but whom I have since known as Ma-chow Wong. Mr Caldwell told me he had sold the lorcha and then commenced talking with the Chinaman, and told me she was not the Alma. I inquired about the guns. I don't recollect if he said to whom he had sold her, but it was evident from the manner in which he spoke and referred my inquiries concerning the guns to the Chinaman, that the latter was the owner or agent of the lorcha. I inquired about the guns, and Mr Caldwell spoke to the Chinaman, and said they were guns of two junks which were either repairing or had been lost on the coast.\n\nCross-examined-Mr Caldwell asked if there was a large vessel alongside, and I said that there was a lighter alongside, into which I thought they were going to hoist the guns. There are always a number of vessels at Wanchi.\n\nAdjourned till to-morrow at 12 o'clock.\n\nTWENTY FIRST DAY.\n\nSaturday, 10th July, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members except the Hon. Mr Davies.\n\nJOHN BROWN COMPTON,-Called and examined.\n\nI have resided in China since January 1834. I knew Mr Caldwell when he first came to Canton, about July or ...",

I have Ayeen, myself, and Ch'o On were present. The money was paid into Ch'o On's hand, and he paid it to Shap-lok. I only have a small share in the firm. $200 was paid to Mr Gaskell, I do not know of any other money being paid; I have not seen any money paid; Low Sing-keet the manager of the shop, knows. Low Sing-keet gave the $200 to me, and I went with Wong Ashing and paid the Money to Mr Gaskell at his office. I was never present at the payment of any other money, but I know that money was paid for feasts and trouble in connection with the matter. I never saw $800 paid to a woman, but I saw a bill made out showing disbursements to that amount. I do not know to whom it was paid: some of it was in feasting, some to buy shoes and cakes for presents. I did not see the money paid, and do not know if it was promised to be paid before it was paid. Low Sing-keet said money was to be paid to lawyers and others, I was not responsible for it. I did not make myself responsible to Mr Caldwell for that or any other sum.\n\nI do not know a female called Shap-lok. I have been treasury comprador 14 years. Wo-hang is a partner in the Pawn-broker's shop. I did not see anyone ask Wo-hang to pay his share of the Money. There are entries in the account of the money expended, but it only states how much has been expended on the case of the watch being pawned by mistake.\n\nI do not know if Mrs Caldwell has a sister by blood or adoption; I never go to Tai-ping Shan, and do not know about that matter.\n\nLOW SING-KEET,—Called and examined.\n\nI was managing shopman and have a share in the Foo-T'ai pawnbroker's firm. I recollect one of my partners being convicted of having received a stolen Gold Watch. After his conviction, I was engaged in getting some seals put to the petition for his pardon. Shap-lok, a female, came to the shop when Ch'o On was present. She told Ch'o On to ask people to save the prisoner, and also that if the affairs should be completed, shoe-money, i.e., a present, should be given to Shap-lok. She spoke to Ch'o On, and I heard from Ch'o On that the sum of $450 was to be paid to her by him. When the conversation took place, I was not at home, but was sent for and told of it by Ch'o On, who said that Shap-lok was able to perform the business; and that $450 would have to be paid her. I do not know what was to be done for it. Ch'o On said that it was to be paid when my partner's business was settled. This was after the conviction, but I cannot recollect exactly when. The money was paid after the conversation; I was present and handed the money over to Ch'o On. It was paid, $400 in Bank Notes, and $50 in Silver. I do not know what Shap-lok was to do with the $450, and do not know how she was to perform this business; it was Ch'o On who spoke to her. Ch'o On was security for the amount but only by promise.\n\nWo-hang is a partner in the firm, and he was asked to pay a share. I went to inform him, and his relation also informed him. He did not say anything; he was busy at the time. I did not ask him to sign a paper promising to pay.\n\nI did not hear my partner say anything about $800 to be given to Shap-lok; he only spoke of $450. I do not know why this woman was able to do anything in the matter. I was ordered by Ch'o On, who has a large share in the business, to pay the money.\n\nThere were other persons present who saw me hand the money over to Ch'o On; I have no doubt of it. There is probably an entry of this payment in the books. I left at that time, and a person named Lum took my place.\n\nCHARLES MAY,—Recalled.\n\nI produce the charge sheet in the case of Beaver, also that in the case of Boggs. [In the charge sheet 23d October, 1857, there is an entry,—\"Henry Beaver, barkeeper at the Commercial Hotel, being charged by Mr Caldwell with confederating with pirates; a paper mentioned as found upon his person; the charge was taken by John Roberts and was brought before Mr May as Acting Assistant Magistrate, by whom he was remanded for re-examination on the 31st, and was to be admitted to bail, such bail to consist of two house-holders in £100 each,”]\n\nIt will be in the recollection of the Committee that at the beginning of the inquiry, reference was made to the Sunon Wo and to Mr Caldwell paying some amount of ground rent into the Colonial Treasury on account of marine lot 33 D, the receipt mentioning from the Sunon Wo. I know that the Sunon Wo is a house belonging to the Sunon people, bought out of the public funds of the Sunon people, and that this house was in the hands of Ma-chow Wong as the head in Hongkong of the Sunon people. Owing to the increased value of house property in that neighbourhood, it has of late years been of great value. I have heard within the last two or three months that there has been a dispute between the Elders of the Sunon people and Ma-chow Wong concerning this property, and that placards have been posted up on the subject.\n\nI mean by the Sunon people the residents of Hongkong coming from that district, chiefly the poor class, fishing and boat people. Many of them are fishermen employed in the markets. I have always been led to consider them as some of the worst people here. I do not know of any ruler of them in Sunon. Ma-chow Wong is the only person I know of who has had any concern with them here.\n\nExamined with reference to charge 18 and 19. Some six or seven years back, perhaps, Mr Caldwell mentioned to me, amongst other circumstances of his early career, that when at Singapore he was a member of a Secret Society. I do not know whether it was Malay or Chinese. The conversation was about the power of the Secret Societies at Singapore. More was said on the point,\n\n(85)\n\nbut I forget everything but the particular fact of Mr Caldwell telling me of the circumstance.\n\nWith reference to charge 19: Upon another occasion, I should fancy three or four years ago, Mr Caldwell mentioned to me that if he did not receive presents with his own hands, he should not object to his wife receiving them. I said that it would be considered the same if discovered whether he took them or whether his wife took them. His reply was to the effect—with a significant laugh, \"I should like to know how anyone could find it out.\" I mentioned these circumstances to the Hon'ble the Attorney General in this wise: After the passing of the Registration Ordinance in the present year, the Attorney General told me that he had inserted a clause in the Ordinance preventing any Government servants or their families from participating in any benefits arising from the Ordinance. That part of the clause which referred to the families had been strongly objected to by His Excellency the Governor, and that the Attorney General's reply was, \"what a Government servant may not do with his own hand, it is possible he may do with his wife's.\" I replied “it is a singular illustration of what you state—that Mr Caldwell told me that he would not object to his wife's receiving presents.\" The part which refers to the Secret Society at Singapore I mentioned at some subsequent date, because the Attorney General told me that when he made allusion to the repute or antecedents of Mr Caldwell, he met with violent opposition and assertions of Mr Caldwell's entire innocence from the Hon'ble the Acting Colonial Secretary.\n\nTHE ATTORNEY GENERAL,—Recalled at his own request.\n\nAccording to Ordinances 1 and 12 of 1845, which are still unrepealed, Mr May is perfectly correct as to the duty of himself and Mr Caldwell of putting down all Secret Societies, impracticable as that duty may be. If the Commission really wish to know from a better authority than Mr May what are the laws of the Triad Society, I can refer them to the document itself.\n\nI presume this so-called charge (18) refers to what I said in debate on the 10th May in the Legislative Council, when challenged by Dr Bridges to explain my allusion to Mr Caldwell's antecedents before his Chinese career began. I said his own account of them as given to Mr May was, that he had been a member of a Secret Society, and, as I understood, amongst the Chinese at Singapore. I know that all Secret Societies amongst the Chinese at Singapore, and any connection with such are illegal by law of Singapore, for I have read it—eternal hostility to all foreigners, Tartars included, being at the bottom of them.\n\nWith regard to the other charge (19), I confirm Mr May's statement as to the way in which the conversation began, only observing, that it was apropos of the Opium Farm Ordinance then in Committee. I had heard so much of the connection subsisting between the Caldwell family and the markets and the passage and harbour boats, and particularly a scheme for a monopoly of the former, which had been projected in 1857, but which I had been mainly instrumental in preventing from taking effect, that I was determined to prevent, if I could, any of the family or their people from having anything to do with that tremendous machinery which the new Opium Farm Ordinance was about to bring into play, and I therefore moved the disqualifying clause. Great opposition was made to the words, “wife and family” by the Acting Colonial Secretary, and then it was I made the observation to which Mr May has to-day referred, and which seemed to satisfy the Legislative Council, viz., that in this Colony oppression and corruptions were tolerated in the Chinese wife, which could not be ventured with impunity by the European husband. That clause has been since adopted in at least three ordinances subsequently passed. I gave ready credit to Mr May's statement of Mr Caldwell's words, and the rather because of this circumstance: Having twice experienced the indignity of an offer of a bribe as Attorney General, since my arrival, once personally by a Chinaman who spoke English, and once through my Comprador, by a Chinaman who could not speak English, I took effectual measures to prevent a recurrence, and I had the entire sanction of the Chief Justice for the course I took in the first case, and no doubt should have obtained the same sanction...",

Grand-Pré was certainly not equal to such a case.\n\n(88)\n\nMr\n\nI recollect, although I had quite forgotten it until shortly before this Commission commenced sitting, that Mr May lent me his memoranda for two or three days. As I found they had nothing immediately to do with the cases under investigation, which were already cumbered enough, I told Mr May that I thought he had better say nothing about them until some occasion should arise on which they would be clearly useful. I recollect also, when the efforts for obtaining a pardon for Ma-chow Wong were going on, that Mr May again asked me if he should mention them to the Government. As by that time I had learnt that Mr May was supposed to be actuated by jealous and hostile feelings towards Mr Caldwell, and as also the Government were in possession of the originals from which the memoranda were taken, I told Mr May, that I should certainly not volunteer their production to the Government. I must confess, however, that my recollection of the memoranda is very imperfect indeed, and that they never made the strong impression upon me which they ought to have done.\n\nJOHN SCARTH, Esq., a member of the Commission, -Called at his own request.\n\nI wish to make the following statement, as my name has been mentioned several times in the evidence and papers before the Commission.\n\nWhen the disturbances began in Canton at the end of 1856, a man came to me and told me that some pirate boats were said to have been taken outside by some of the ships of war, but that the boats were not pirate but rebel boats. He stated that he felt sure that Ma-chow Wong was using his influence against the men, and requested me to endeavour to have some inquiry made, as he heard the men were going to be given over to the Mandarins. My informant was one of the Shanghae rebels. I went to the Police Office and saw Mr Grand-Pré and Mr May. The bulk of the statement was heard by Mr Grand-Pré; Mr May came in just as I concluded. I told him that I had been told that Ma-chow Wong, who was formerly in close connection with the so-called rebels who held Shanghae, had turned against them, having been bribed by the Mandarins with a blue button which they would find in the house, and a white button which they would find in the house of one of his wives. I stated that he had given the information about these boats being taken, and that he was now trying to injure the rebels as much as he could. I said that the man who informed me could bring evidence to show that the men were rebels. Mr Grand-Pré told me Ma-chow Wong was Mr Caldwell's informer, and that he would see about it. I told him that he had better tell Mr Caldwell. I heard nothing more of the matter until I saw the men given up at Kowloong. I was afterwards informed that several sailors had been kidnapped in a systematic manner, by engaging them in Lorchas and then handing them over to the Chinese Authorities for the rewards for heads. I went immediately and reported the circumstance to Mr Caldwell\n\nI did not notice any particular effect produced by Mr Caldwell's presence on the bench at the commencement of Ma-chow Wong's case. I did mention to the Acting Colonial Secretary, that I thought Mr Caldwell had better not sit on the bench during the inquiry against Ma-chow Wong, but I did not speak at all strongly; and the Acting Colonial Secretary immediately said, \"Oh, I have arranged about that; only, if anything very strong is said about him in Court, I hope you will send for him.\" Mr Stace brought up Ma-chow Wong's bail after his commitment, Lai Sze-kai was not one on that occasion. I really am afraid to say anything about my recollection of the contents of the memoranda; I recollect that their general nature has been correctly described.\n\nI rather think that there is a notice in Chinese characters outside the Magistracy that bribery is not allowed.\n\nI recollect in the debate on the Registration Ordinance, in council, that the Governor said an order had been given to do something-I did not hear what-in reference to not proceeding with the second indictment; and I heard the Attorney General say, \"Nobody in the world has power to give such an order;\" but I cannot say whether the words \"Nolle prosequi\" were used.\n\nabout it, until Mr Wade's translation of the papers found at Namtow proved that men had been taken,\n\nMy impression from what was said in Council on the 10th and 14th of May certainly was, that His Excellency and the Acting Colonial Secretary were convinced that Mr Caldwell had cleared himself from the charges then brought against him, and that there was no need of further inquiry.\n\nMy strong impression is, that I did hear the Acting Colonial Secretary say in debate, that he saw no harm in Mr Caldwell's servants being interested in brothels, and, on being reminded that it might lead to improper persons being licensed to keep brothels, I certainly think I did hear him say, that as any person wishing to become a brothel-keeper must be an improper person, that would be of no consequence.\n\ntendered in support of the charges, the commission would [The Chairman intimated that no further evidence being proceed at the next meeting to hear Mr Caldwell's defence.]\n\nTWENTY THIRD DAY.\n\nWednesday, 14th July, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members.\n\nfollowing statement:-\n\nMr Caldwell being called on for his defence, made the\n\ning to the accusations brought against me by the Honour-\n\nThe only difficulty which presents itself to me in reply-\n\nable the Attorney General and the Superintendent of Police, arises from the great volume of the depositions. It\n\nmay well happen that a person, inexperienced as I am in\n\n(89)\n\ndissecting evidence, may, in going over the evidence of\n\nof what he had said being so much more favorable to the\n\nprosecution than his own personal evidence.\n\nmore than 50 witnesses, covering about 100 printed pages, omit some point apparently telling against himself, but capable of easy explanation. Should such prove to be the case, the Commission will I trust direct my attention to any charge not dealt with by me, for it is my desire to flinch from no portion of this extraordinary investigation.\n\nBut\n\nCharge No. 4 rests entirely upon the recollection by Mr Inglis of an isolated fact, which is supposed to have taken place about 14 years ago. The evidence adduced by me as to the date of the birth of my first child, and the situation of certain localities, will, I am certain, when added to the positive testimony of Mrs Caldwell and myself, convince the Commission that Mr Inglis has undesignedly mistaken one person for another.\n\nBefore proceeding to the evidence, I must notice who and what the witnesses are who have been called in support of the charges. There is hardly one of any importance who can be considered independent or unbiassed.\n\nCharge No. 5: It will hardly be necessary for me to detail at length the evidence which must have convinced the Commission, that although nominally I appeared in the equally with myself; Roberts and Lyons, who have, within the last three weeks, received great promotion in the Police Crown Books the owner of certain property in this Colony; force at Mr May's recommendation; Assow, the Interpreter; Aheen, Mr May's Lokong, and Yoong Ayoong Mr May's own servant. On these seven does the case for the prosecution mainly rest; and wherever an attempt has been made to travel beyond them, it has resulted in a contradiction or a break-down.\n\nCharge No. 14 has not I believe been attempted to be proved.\n\nCharge No. 15: Mr May comes forward in support of this charge, and states the fact to have been within his own knowledge; he is to a certain degree supported by Mr Woods, but the evidence of the latter is neutralised by his statement that all Tai-ping-shan houses were at the time brothels, which certainly was not the case, and Mr Woods assigns no other reason for his belief. Mr May's testimony has been so unsatisfactory throughout this inquiry, that no reliance can, I trust, be placed upon him when unsupported; and I beg most solemnly to deny, that I have ever at any time been the owner of any brothels in this colony; and if the Commission require it, I am prepared to prove the untruth of Mr May's statement, in the most satisfactory manner.\n\nEven where, as with Pang-wa-ping, there is no ostensible connection between the Police and the witness, Roberts, or some one else, would appear to have been distorting his statements; and when I find Mr Anstey resting for his facts entirely upon Mr May, Mr May acknowledging to having given Roberts and Lyons advice and directions as to the mode in which the case was to be got up, Lyons attempting to put words into Boggs's mouth, and perverting conversations held with myself and others, Roberts laying a deliberate trap for the officers of the Eaglet, and Roberts and Lyons so speedily earning the reward of their energy and activity, I do not, without warrant, charge all these seven with a combined attempt to support the loose statements of Mr Anstey, by getting up evidence to fit them.\n\nCharge No. 16: If Assow the Interpreter could be believed, this charge might be considered as made out. But the mere attempt to produce such a witness as Assow, and the gross untruths he has been convicted of, when produced, will I hope be considered by the Commission an important feature in the whole case. The groundless assertion that Shaplok is Mrs Caldwell's sister by adoption, rests on Assow's statement, and is denied by my wife and myself; but when Assow attempts to prove that Shaplok, within a certain time, kept a brothel in a certain street, which he personally visited, he is convicted of falsehood by Eep Awong, and others, and I am supported by the evidence of Mr Mitchell.\n\nCharge No. 2 affords the most remarkable instance upon throughout this investigation, of the flimsy materials which Mr Anstey has based the most serious charge against me.\n\nIt appears from the evidence of Mr May, Yoong Ayoong, and Lum Aleen, the two first of whom contradict each other, that Mr May having, through his servant made some inquiry of the tenant of a rice shop as to its owner, informed Mr Anstey that I was the owner of the adjoining brothel No. 48, not a syllable having in reality passed between the several parties as to such brothel.\n\nFoong Afie, Soong Ahing, and Wong Aping-and Mr Mitchell fixes an additional stigma on him. Mr May has evidently relied much on this witness, and it would have been worth his while to have ascertained his real character from Mr Mitchell before he was included among the seven witnesses.\n\nCharge No. 17: No attempt has ever been made. I believe, I have fully explained to the Commission the circumstances under which Mrs Caldwell looks after her sister's property. But the mixing up of brothel-holding with this question of property, is a malicious charge, for which there was never at any time any pretext.\n\nI must also remark on the singular fact, that Lum Aleen was attempted to be made out to have left the Colony, the statement",

And further, as regards these 72 men, the information given to me, and on which I acted, was that of three men who had nothing whatever to say to Ma-chow Wong as far as I am aware. They went with us in the Niger to identify the boats, one being the father of a man then a prisoner with these people. The information given was to the effect that nine men had been put to death the day before, and the other prisoners were to be executed that day,\n\nbut he did not come alone; he came with another man, who carried the money in a basket, and who took it away with him. Mrs Caldwell can be produced if required by the Commission to contradict Pang-wa-Ping, but his credibility appears to me already destroyed by the contradiction given to him by Achong, who could have no motive to conceal the truth, and whose evidence is not to be reconciled with that of Pang-wa-Ping.\n\nThe Tin charge upon investigation appears to have rested upon as little foundation as the gold dust and many others. Mr Mitchell was in the first instance very positive as to his statements, without having taken the trouble to refresh his memory by referring to the original documents.\n\nThat the Registrar General, or any other official in this colony, can of his own power arrest and discharge persons, or confiscate or restore their property, is a simple impossibility; and I will not presume to occupy the time of the Commission by pointing out the absurdity involved in charge No. 7. I am not aware that any evidence has been adduced in support of it, but I may as well state that on no single occasion has any arrest been made by me without either the accused being brought before the Magistrate in the usual course, or in cases under the Peace and Security Ordinance, without a specific report being at once made to His Excellency the Governor on the subject. I have no power to confiscate or restore any property, and have never done so except under orders from my superiors. With regard to the gold dust case, and securities given,\n\nThe course pursued with regard to Boggs' paper, will, I think, throw much light upon the manner in which charges have been attempted to be got up against me under this Commission. Relying upon the probability that Boggs would endorse any statement to my prejudice, Lyons, whom Mr May owns to having advised as to the mode of getting up evidence, imagines himself to have heard a letter read, connecting me with Ma-chow Wong and Boggs, and which letter ought to be in my handwriting; he then visits Boggs in the Gaol, and the charge is started; but where it starts it falls. Boggs does not supply the wanting links. Mr Grand-Pré has seen the letter and read it, and so did the Attorney General if he would but say so; for Boggs and Mr Grand-Pré prove it was read in his presence, and it had no more reference to me than to any one else. I am certain that Ma-chow Wong had nothing at all to say to the matter. The question as to whether the gold dust should be appropriated by the Government, as suggested by Mr May, or handed over to certain petitioners, having been decided by His Excellency the Governor, I simply obeyed the instructions I received. But with regard to the subsequent applicant, it may not be useless to observe, that he came to my office, that I sent for two of the securities—Apang and Foong-shan, and that upon inquiry it came out that he had lost dollars at the time of the piracy, but had never been possessed of any gold dust at all. Mr May constantly sees Foong-shan at the Supreme Court, where he is Shroff. Mr May knew that Foong-shan was one of the securities, as I gave Mr May the security papers myself, and therefore a very little investigation on Mr May's part would have spared the Commission much needless trouble on this point.\n\nIn his own office. Mr Mitchell has now amended his original statement, and the depositions and Jarman's evidence have trust satisfactorily established that there was no want of proper vigilance or activity on my part.\n\nIn reality it was a matter in which I took more than a usual amount of trouble, and the strict letter of the law was, I believe, stretched to recover the stolen property, and it is with considerable surprise that I find it revived after three years for the purposes of this prosecution.\n\nIf Pang-wa-ping's evidence stood unimpeached in any way, it would go to prove that I repeatedly refused to receive a present for official services performed by me, but that Mrs Caldwell in my absence did accept of a sum of $100 as a free-will offering. If this occurred, and with my consent either tacitly or otherwise, I think that I should be liable to censure as a Government servant; but I beg leave to deny most emphatically that this witness has given a true narrative of what occurred. I distinctly remember his coming to my house, and tendering the present to me;\n\nof the Hon'ble Commission. This would be bad enough, but Mr Market Inspector Roberts must needs come to the support of Deputy Inspector Lyons, and revive the dying slander to its original heat. Roberts had also been taken into council by Mr May. Both Roberts and Lyons have been, during the Commission, promoted by Mr May's means.\n\nSuch a charge as the one numbered 8 is easily brought and somewhat difficult of disproof, on account of its intangible nature, but did it not occur to my accuser, that there was nothing between July 1855, and November 1856, to prevent or intimidate any man, whether Chinese or not, from bringing charges against me. I was but the Captain of a coasting steamer; there I held no official position; I appeared no probability of my returning to office, and yet during those seventeen months, who complained or said a word against my character? although, strange to say, Mr Anstey, the accuser general, was here during at least half the time, But I do say most confidently, that it is false\n\n( 93 )\n\nthat any such feeling of terror exists. Were there any causes of complaint, would they not have been attracted long ere now by the bitter hostility of Mr Anstey, the self-vouched conscientious desires of Mr May for the public good, or the unscrupulous partizanship of the subordinate partners in this conspiracy against me? If ever man had to stand a severe ordeal, I have had to do so for the last seven weeks, and if I have been enabled to arrive at a satisfactory termination, it has been solely because I have ever been a faithful and conscientious public servant.\n\nWhether or not\n\nThe money said to be paid to Ch'o On and Shaplok, in the matter of the pawnbroker whose sentence was mitigated, is, I suppose, brought forward as a case of corruption against me. If so, it has signally failed. Shaplok and Ch'o On did, or did not, get $400 or $450 from these pawnbrokers, is a fact for which I cannot be in any way responsible, unless I was art or part in the matter, which I most earnestly deny. The Commission will remember, that no connection has been proved between my family and Shaplok, that the latter has been for some time out of the Colony, and therefore cannot be produced here. Wohang denies having heard my name, or that of my wife, at all in the matter. Tong Kwong-sin and Low Shing-keet both were present at the payment, but up to its taking place, know nothing of their own knowledge of the circumstances which led to it; and the latter states himself to have been even ignorant of what was to be done for it. They neither of them heard Shaplok or Ch'o On mention my being in any way concerned, with one exception, and that is with reference to a statement made by Ch'o On. Ch'o On denies everything connected with the matter. Even if my name had been distinctly made use of, and money fraudulently obtained on the strength of it, is not that a circumstance to which any public officer may be exposed, not only in this Colony, but elsewhere? The crime is not an unfrequent one, and it has occurred to me twice to prosecute to conviction, before the Supreme Court, men charged by me with this very same offence.\n\nI should but needlessly occupy the time of the Hon'ble Commission with refuting charge No. 10. The prosecution must have learnt long ere this that the premises upon which it was founded were erroneous, and my best defence is the record of what actually occurred.\n\nAs to harbouring Ma-chow Wong's wife after his conviction, my answer simply is, that no wife of his ever ate a meal, or slept on any occasion, in my house.\n\nI now come to Charges 1, 18, 19.\n\nNo. 1.\n\nthinks it prudent to withdraw the locality to Singapore, and put back the time some 24 years, and to make even the people comprising such secret society doubtful, being either Chinese, Klings, or Malays. By Klings, with ludicrous ignorance, he means half-caste Chinese, or Chinese born in the Straits. The Commission will hardly need to be informed by me, that Klings are simply Madrassees. Did ever any one, but Mr May, hear of Malays forming secret societies? certainly no one connected with Singapore, and I am convinced no one anywhere else, it being entirely contrary to their spirit and customs. When it is remembered, that I was not 17 when I left Singapore, that I could not speak a word of the Chinese language then nor for many months after, the nuance of Mr Anstey, and the mixture of malice and ignorance in Mr May, are nowhere more thoroughly developed, than in their attempt, first to bring this charge, and secondly their mode of substantiating it. I do belong to a secret society, and so does the Chairman of this Commission, and I hold the proud position of Master for the year of it—the Zetland Lodge of Freemasons.\n\nCharge No. 19: In 1854, Mr Perkins' friends being of opinion that it was owing to me that his murderer was detected and executed, wished to present me with a testimonial. The local government refused permission without a previous reference home. I naturally thought this a hardship, and while chatting in a friendly way with Mr May in my own house, my wife and some others being present, I said, \"It is a great shame; the next time I shall ask them to give it to my wife.\" This was all that took place; and these trifling words, treasured up for four years by the conscientious Mr May, are reproduced as indicating a willingness on my part to consent to my own wife taking bribes.\n\nWith regard to the matter of the Eaglet, I shall say nothing more than that the statements of her officers given before the Commission are substantially correct, with the exception that I went in my boat out of curiosity, and the amount paid for taking the Mandarins to the village was $2,000.\n\nI have to thank the Commission for having, by limiting my power of cross-examination, prevented me from entering upon one line of defence, which would have almost degraded me to the same level as that on which Messrs Anstey and May now lie. Goaded beyond endurance by the attacks on my wife, and the unscrupulous betrayal of the confidence of friendly intercourse, I was tempted to\n\nLet them not The result of this inquiry can be the sole reply to charge retaliate and drag the details of their private morals before you, but I have been spared this error. however suppose that deeds such as theirs can pass without notice, and although I will not even in my own defence imitate their example, my proofs are ready, and can be produced whenever required.\n\nCharges No. 18: With having informed Mr May that I was a member of a Secret Society. I deny this charge altogether. The manner in which it was brought by the Attorney General can leave no doubt in the mind of any member of this Commission, that by Secret Society he intended the illegal Triad Societies to be understood, or else what was the use of saying anything about it. Mr May\n\nAnd now I have done; I shall call no witnesses unless the Commission require them, because it appears to me that nothing remains which requires explanation or dis-",

I hand in some testimonials for my past services as the evidence of absent superiors, and submit myself to the impartial justice of this Honourable Commission, upon the charges referred to them,\n\n[Mr Caldwell handed in and read several letters received at various periods between the 11th December, 1846, and the 28th March, 1857, from the Naval, Colonial, and Home authorities, expressing their high appreciation of his services, especially in the suppression of piracy.]\n\nExamined with reference to the arrest of Assow, the Interpreter. With regard to the statement by Assow as to his arrest, I stated to-day, that I was not aware of his arrest until heard of it here. I had heard on the morning of the fact of two men being apprehended for the robbery and possession...\n\nI\n\nCross-examined, on his defence.-As to Mr May getting up evidence by means of Lyons and Roberts, I refer to Mr May's own evidence, and also to that of Lyons and Roberts. Lyons, who was formerly Sergeant of Police and Inspector of Nuisances, has been promoted to be Deputy Inspector or Assistant or Deputy Inspector of Police; and Roberts, from Deputy Inspector of Police to motions must have been approved of, but perhaps His Excellency is ignorant of what has transpired in this Commission. I should think that these promotions would certainly be made upon Mr May's recommendation, he being their immediate superior. I do not know how the Acting Colonial Secretary acted in the matter. I cannot say whether Lyons, who was a Sergeant of Police, and Acting as Inspector of Nuisances, could have been removed from the latter office without the sanction of the Surveyor General. My impression is that he was only lent to the Surveyor General's Department, and could have been recalled by Mr May for other purposes.\n\n[The Chairman, as Surveyor General, here states, that the Inspector of Nuisances is attached to that department, and is entirely under the orders of the Surveyor General, and not directly under those of the Superintendent of Police and is also on the pay-list of the Surveyor General's Department.]\n\nThe ... of sale endorsed upon application to him.\n\nzaar,\n\nwhile in Mr Lapraik's shop, I overheard a gentleman explaining to him that, besides the barometer which he had lost a few days before, he had that morning missed a clock. When he got that far, one of my servants came in and said that I was wanted immediately. On going home, Mrs Caldwell gave me a Chinese letter written \"important\" outside. I opened it, and found it was an anonymous letter to the effect that a man had been taken in custody for having stolen a barometer, and who had also on a previous occasion stolen a musical box; that both these articles had been sold to Assow the interpreter, (the document calling him by his common name of Pock Sow) the former for $4, and the latter for $16; and that if I made haste and searched the room of a prostitute kept by Assow, named Pat-mui, whose room in a registered brothel faced the top of the staircase, I should find the musical box there. Knowing the speed with which all information from the Central Police Station and the Police Court flies through the city, I without going to the Central Police Station for a Constable, started off immediately to search this room. Finding neither the musical box nor the girl Pat-mui, I asked the mistress of the brothel where she was. She pointed to the house opposite and said she was there. I asked for Pat-mui, and told her I wanted to search her room, which I did, but I did not find the musical box; although when I mentioned about the musical box which Assow had brought there --one of the women said, \"He took it home two days ago.\" I did not consider it prudent to search the house where his wife lives, and I immediately went to the Central Station and informed Mr Jarman of all I knew of the matter, and advised him to be careful and listen to what the prisoner said when he was questioning him. I do not know from whom the anonymous letter came, it yet, and can produce it.\n\nI have ...\n\nKee-loong-poo-on lorcha in the latter end of October 1856, as mentioned in my statement of to-day. At this time the lorcha was down in the Gulf of Tonquin, chartered. She did not return to Hongkong until some time in April, 1857, as can be ascertained from the Harbour Master's list of arrivals.\n\nI am aware that the two political prisoners in the treason case, who were interested in the apprehension of the murderers at Stanley, were evidently trying to bring forward Ma-chow Wong in the matter; so much so that they suggested to me that Ma-chow Wong would go with me to Stanley, and point out the persons connected with the murder.\n\nMr Inglis was present at every one of the interviews I had with these people, and I put the question to him when he was here being examined the other day, whether I did not object to take Ma-chow Wong with me; and I did so for the very reason that I saw plainly they were trying to assist him as well as themselves—and further, that Ma-chow Wong had never lived in Stanley before, and could not have pointed out the people.\n\n( 95 )\n\nMachow Wong had never lived in Stanley before, and could not have pointed out the people. I did make particular reference to the Rebel chiefs, but I did not to the two men referred to by the Attorney General and Mr Cooper Turner as having been deported, because by the Attorney General's own evidence, it will appear that the men were only remanded upon my bringing a specific charge against them, and not committed under the Deportation Ordinance. I wish further to state, that having no hand in the matter of the deportation at all, I was entirely ignorant of who were or were not to be deported. Although I was in the habit of consulting Ma-chow Wong in piracy cases, I did not consult him in the case of the 72 pirates handed over at Kowloong. There was no necessity for so doing, as the informants came to me direct.\n\nI cannot say positively whether I presented the petition in the gold dust case, but it is very likely it came through me, because the Colonial Secretary refuses all Chinese petitions unless they come through me.\n\nI do not think that I have stated that Mr May knew of Lyons's visit to the Gaol.\n\nI am glad now to have the opportunity of giving public city to services rendered by me, and of which not the slightest notice was ever taken. Sometime in 1855, I think in the month of August, I was on my way in the Eaglet from Macao to Hongkong. I think the day previously I had parted from a convoy of 92 Chinese vessels, Jorchas, junks, and others, from Hainan-and on nearing the South Western point of Lantao, I saw 15 piratical vessels, which had just captured three of my convoy, and had them in custody at the time. I recognized three one of them a lorcha; they held the English flag over the stern. I altered my course towards them, thinking that the pirates might be intimidated and let them go. On the contrary, three of the largest junks immediately altered their course, and bore down on the steamer, making every preparation for an attack. I immediately altered my course for Hongkong, and reported the circumstance to the Senior Naval Officer, Captain Fellowes, of H. M. S. Rattler. I consented to go with Captain Fellowes, the next day myself--and went with him in the Rattler, and after the 4th day, chased the pirates into Kulan,--the convoy junks being still with them. I informed Captain Fellowes that they would consider themselves quite safe from the shallowness of the water as we could not get near them, and I told him, if he liked, I would place the Eaglet at his disposal. We immediately returned to Hongkong, I took in coal and provisions, took three of the American steamer Powhattan's boats astern, having all their crews numbering about 100 men on board the Eaglet, made fast astern of the Rattler and proceeded down to Kulan. At daylight the next morning, I took the three boats belonging to the Powhattan and the four belonging to the Rattler in tow of the Eaglet, the Rattler being anchored in deep water, and took the Eaglet into Kulan Bay myself. We found the bay deserted, but knowing the land in that locality perfectly well, I discovered, under a point of land about six miles off, the mastheads of a number of Chinese vessels, and immediately steered for them. As we approached, two guns were fired at us from the junks, which was answered by a rocket put on board the Eaglet from the Ordnance Department, on which the boats left the Eaglet and pulled in. Another rocket and a shot fired from the Eaglet as the boats were pulling in caused them to get up their anchors and sails, and go farther up the lagoon into shallow water. I remained with the Eaglet to protect the entrance, the Rattler being then some seven miles off, and after a desperate resistance, in which six men were killed and about a dozen wounded on our side, 18 junks were captured and destroyed, and seven trading vessels, including the three which I had originally seen in the hands of the pirates, were liberated. Some 16 officers in all were on board the Eaglet from daylight that morning, until about eight the same night, and about 150 sailors and marines. I was obliged to supply the whole of the wounded men with the mattresses belonging to the saloon of the steamer, all of which were entirely destroyed, being saturated with oil poured over the wounded men to keep their wounds cool; and as the officers came without any provision for the day, I had to supply them with two meals and refreshments, and from that time up to the present moment I have never received even a word of thanks for all that service from any body.\n\nI think this was the only occasion on which I gave such information to the Government, and I cannot recollect any piracy cases in which I have appeared at the Police Court. I certainly never appeared in any to give evidence either for or against the prisoners.\n\nIn the case of the Pawnbrokers, and the $400 said to have been paid to Shaplok: Wohang came to my office one day, and said that Mr Lane was in his house on one occasion, when he was asked to subscribe his share to the payment of $400 to Shaplok, and that Mr Lane advised him not to do anything of the sort; that he was afterwards sent for by Mr Anstey, who told him what Mr Lane had said to him, and asked him if it was true. I immediately said \"What has that got to do with me?\" And he then said, \"Oh, but she said the money would be paid to you.\" I laughed at it. and said, \"This is the first I have heard of it then;\" and I said \"Mind, I shall expect you to prove what you now say;\" he immediately turned round and said that it was not his affair, he could not prove it: that he did not pay the money, that it was paid by one of the partners of the shop who had gone to Canton, and that he was merely asked to contribute his share, being a partner I told him I should certainly question Shaplok as soon I could find her, and that I supposed his partner could always be forthcoming if wanted, I think he then remarked, that he considered it his duty to come and tell me this, and I said that I would not forget it. I have taken every means to find Shaplok, and I know the Police are doing the same, for they have searched her house within the last three days. I inquired about Shaplok the...",

        "content_text": "374\n\n(96)\n\nsame afternoon that Wohang came to me, and found that to Mrs Caldwell, Mrs Caldwell would answer her, this is she was in Canton, I did not communicate with the Government or Police about it. All I can say. She never came as a friend to the house.\n\nI am quite ignorant of the circumstances relative to the capture for attempt at breach of the blockade of the Canton River, of the boat to which the pass was granted mentioned by the Attorney General, in page 73. I have given many of such passes that it is impossible for me to tell about this particular one.\n\nI did not consider it necessary to cross-examine Mr May upon his statement regarding my telling him about my wife receiving presents, because I considered the inference drawn from the words spoken by me was so absurd that I did not think it necessary.\n\nI did not know Po-pak-shing as a notorious pirate at the time I went on board his boat. I most solemnly declare I never heard of his name up till that time.\n\nI only know that the Sinon Wo ground lot is in the Lower Bazaar, because it is marine lot 33. I suppose that Sinon Wo is the lessee's name. I know Ma-chow Wong is the owner. I know he used to have the management. When this Sunon man (referred to in page 59) came and asked me about the increased rental of the lot, I knew that Ma-chow Wong had been connected with the Sinon Wo. I am sure that the land, so far as I have heard, did not belong to Ma-chow Wong. From what I have heard, Ma-chow Wong was only head of some committee of management; there were others connected with it.\n\nMr May's statement of the misunderstandings between us is correct. We have had no others. I do not consider Ma-chow Wong's conviction chiefly owing to the exertions of Mr May, but to the public mind and that of the jury being prejudiced against him by the local papers. Mr May did not, to my knowledge, apply for my reinstatement in Government employ.\n\nI did consider, and I am now more fully confident, that Mr May had a vindictive feeling towards me at the time of the conducting of the case of Ma-chow Wong, but I have particular reasons for not wishing to give my grounds for such belief on this occasion. As I have already stated in my evidence of to-day, these reasons may form the subject of future complaints by me; but of this fact I am certain, that nothing would give Mr May more pleasure than to see the situation of Registrar General become vacant for him by my dismissal.\n\nAdjourned till Friday, the 16th, at 12 o'clock.\n\nTWENTY FOURTH Day,\n\nFriday, 16th July, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members.\n\nHon. H. T. DAVIES,-Recalled at his own request to explain a part of his previous evidence.\n\nMr Caldwell is no doubt correct in stating that he did the sureties for Ma-chow Wong; but when I procured said that I should require them, and that I would take their recognizances as soon as their validity had been ascertained, Mr Caldwell said \"they are here now,” and pointed out some men. I asked him whether he guaranteed their validity, and upon his saying that he did, I took them at once.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL,-Cross-examination continued.\n\nI deny that any intercourse whatever has been kept up between any member of my family and Shaplok. She has been many times to my house to see me on business of different kinds, and as a matter of course she has also seen Mrs Caldwell and spoken to her. I wish to state, that, when I married Mrs Caldwell when she was converted, I threw off all Chinese connections. Shaplok came to me only on business matters officially.\n\nI do most decidedly deny the existence of any family connection in any sense whatever, whether by blood, usage, or adoption, between myself and Ma-chow Wong. Ma-chow Wong is an inferior man, not an equal, and I consider this attempt to connect me with Ma-chow Wong nothing better than a villainous attempt to injure my reputation.\n\nAfter the time of his apprehension and trial, I believed Ma-chow Wong to be an honest man, and I believe now that he always was an honest man up to his apprehension.\n\nPang Wa-ping paid to the paymaster of the Rattler about $200 salvage for rescuing his boat, for which the Paymaster gave a receipt, I witnessing it.\n\nI saw a Chinese document belonging to Beaver after his apprehension at the Police Station. It was a kind of certificate from Chai Awei the pirate Chief, but who styled himself a Rebel, made showing that Beaver had been in his employ, and mention was there made of a man Wong Kee with another as having come from Kongnam (Keangnan), I believe, to carry out the Rebel movements.\n\n(97)\n\nI do not know the man who accompanied Pang Wo-ping. I could make inquiry concerning him, but I am quite certain that they were both there, and that I saw the basket with the lid to it.\n\nWith regard to the search of Assow's house, the anonymous letter was my only information that a musical box was stolen. I also knew that a man was in custody for stealing a barometer, which was referred to in the letter.\n\nI searched the house opposite Pat-mui's. Assow had interpreted here, and at my request, before I searched the house.\n\nLai Szekai still collects the rents for Mrs Caldwell's sister, under a lease which he has of the houses.\n\nI accompanied Mr Grand-Pré in searching the boats in one of which Po-pak-shing was seized; he was there on the spot, and was cognizant of the particulars himself. I was merely sent for to assist.\n\nI was present with Mr Anstey, Mr Cluff, Mr May, Mr Strachan, and several others at the Debtor's Gaol yard, on the afternoon of the day on which Mr May apprehended all the men on Bonham Strand.\n\nI never saw the men-either before deportation, when on their way to the ship, or when on board.\n\nI know nothing about what Boggs says of the payment of black-mail by the pirates to Ma-chow Wong.\n\nI have given Assow to interpret at Ma-chow Wong's trial. I don't think I have given him one since Ma-chow Wong's trial. I consider honesty as necessary for Interpreter.",

        "content_text": "188\n\n382\n\n(151)\n\nBesides the case above referred to, he appeared before our late Chief Magistrate once or twice in matters touching extortion. From his numerous delinquencies, Mr Hillier had a thorough abhorrence of the man. He was also apprehended upon a charge of obstructing the police and conniving at the escape of a man charged with felony, (afterwards ascertained to be a notorious pirate;) but his early patron still presided over the fortunes of Wong, bailed him out, and, attending at the Police Court, re-established the purity of his reputation; and once more Akee returned to his lair at the market, \"a wiser if not a better man.\"\n\nWhenever a case of piracy broke down at the Police Court, Akee's shadow was seen in the background, though his agents alone appeared bodily in court.\n\nAn outline of the case not tried at the late sessions of the Supreme Court cannot be other than useful intelligence to the public. In July last, a respectable trader chartered a junk to bring a cargo of sugar, blue dye, and sesame seed to the colony. On the 6th July, the day after sailing, the vessel was attacked and captured near Linting by a fleet of pirates, and during the attack, the wife of the master, the wife of the master's son, and two of the junk's crew, were killed, and the master and some others of the crew wounded. The pirates threw the dead bodies overboard, sailed the boat to Linting, and the same night trans-shipped the cargo into their own vessel, liberating the captured boat at about 3 A.M. of the 7th July. The latter got under weigh at daybreak and sailed to Hongkong, and at 7 o'clock the same morning information was given to the charterer, who, after sending word of the piracy to the police, went in quest of the plundered cargo.\n\nAt 9 A.M. the same day he found 110 bags of the sugar, and 15 tubs of blue dye, at Ma-chow Wong's shop in Bonham Strand. The man in charge of the shop referred the owner to Ma-chow Wong, with whom accordingly he had an interview at the Central Market. Ma-chow Wong, after decrying any appeal to the police, promised to restore the sugar in his possession, and to use his best influence to aid in the recovery of the remainder, stating that the person who had given him the sugar had left the colony. Accordingly, the sugar and blue dye were given up, but only after a demur subsequent to the first arrangement, and on understanding that the receiver was to give Ma-chow Wong a bonus of $100. The books of the shop prove these strange facts, that before and after the delivery of the sugar, Ma-chow Wong had been in direct correspondence and dealings with the pirates, having paid to the latter the $100 received from the owner of the sugar, the day subsequent to its delivery, and consequently at that time with a full knowledge that the recipient was a pirate. Another peculiar feature of the matter is, that as early as 7 A.M. of 7th July, (the day after the piracy,) a man from Ma-chow Wong's shop had effected a sale of the sugar to another dealer—a friend to the firm; so that if there had been any delay in the search, the sugar would not have been found.\n\nThe charges against Tong Aku, the interpreter, trumped up in consequence of the assistance rendered by him against Ma-chow Wong, resulted in his entire acquittal; and his accuser in each instance was so plainly convicted of perjury, that the Magistrate deemed it his duty to sentence the one not already a convict to pay a fine of £10, or suffer two months' imprisonment. As the money was of course not forthcoming, the scoundrel is now at work on the roads among the chain gang.\n\nWe have only further now to add, that we believe it to be quite true that Ma-chow Wong, and his partner in iniquity Wong Atung, have for some reason been allowed to retain their queues, when others, and much lesser criminals, have been deprived of theirs. This, we presume, will now be rectified, for so far as we understand, there is not the slightest hope of pardon—and it were a lasting shame to Sir John Bowring and his Council did they extend it to such a miscreant.—China Mail, 17th September, 1857.\n\nNow had you any doubt as to who was the party implicated and pointed at?—Had you then the least doubt that that article referred to Caldwell's participation with Ma-chow Wong and pirates?\n\nMr Mongan.—I do not like to swear as to what my opinions were at that time; I am not certain about it.\n\nAttorney General.—Did it not appear to you very strange that Sir John Bowring—that a just and honorable Government—should have selected Caldwell for this investigation of the documents?\n\nMr. Mongan.—It did not strike me at the time, but it did some time afterwards.\n\nAttorney General.—When?\n\n(150)\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes.\n\nI think all papers taken out were put back when examination was made.\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes.\n\nAttorney General.—You have rooms upstairs as well as down,\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes.\n\nAttorney General.—Now I will read you your deposition. (to Court)—Your Lordship will take—You had read this article in the China Mail (reads).——that down—That's a new fact—Are you sure of that?\n\n\"An alarm, groundless we believe, seems to prevail among the public, and especially the Chinese port that through a mistaken leniency on the part of Sir John Bowring, the convict Ma-chow Wong may be again let loose on the community.\n\nGovernment must be too well aware of the antecedents of this \"highly respectable\" and \"very ill-used\" individual, to permit him even a chance of escape. The books of the firm found in his shop are of themselves, we are told, quite sufficient to justify his deportation under Ordinance No. 2 of 1857, for they prove a direct communication with the mandarins, and especially with a lieutenant of the notorious Chan-kwai-chih. They also shew the purchase of such immense quantities—thousands of dollars' worth of munitions of war, including gunpowder, shot, guns, muskets, shields, stinkpots, &c., as could by no possibility have been employed for any purpose but that of piracy. He is there shewn also to have been connected in some manner with the robbery of Silk from Messrs Gibb, Livingston & Co.'s godowns, and to have likewise taken an active share in recovering pirate-vessels seized by H. M. ships-of-war. He has, besides, engaged extensively in a slave trade carried on in the Straits; and is shewn to have advanced money to, and actually assisted in the escape of, pirates. He seems to have been the universal agent in all matters connected with the defence of criminals, and the sums of money disbursed in the shape of lawyer's fees are enormous; in fact, one would almost be inclined to consider him the authorized protector of Chinese miscreants of every kind. Some money transactions with foreigners are referred to in his books, and others we warrant, of which for the present we will say no more, than merely to state, that in the \"gold-dust robbery alone,\" a sum of about $1000 out of $40,000 was recovered, and ordered to be handed over to the poor unfortunates from whom it had been stolen, and that its distribution was somehow made through Ma-chow Wong. How much stuck to his fingers, we cannot say; but we are assured that only about one-half reached those for whom it was intended, and that even that sum was not fairly distributed.\n\nWe have no means now of ascertaining particulars of his numerous appearances in public, but besides his having to disgorge $20 which he had extorted from a poor Chinawoman just returned from California, and the particulars of which will be found in the China Mail of February 15 and 24, 1853, we know that in 1847 he and several others were tried at the Supreme Court for breaking into the store of Mr Hall, and stealing children's wearing apparel, stationery, &c. Some of the clothing was afterwards offered to Mrs Clifton for sale, and this led to the apprehension of a man, who stated that he received the articles from Ma-chow Wong. The house of the latter was searched and other portions of the stolen property found under his bed; nevertheless he escaped conviction—for even in those days he had a friend in the council. From that time until he became fat upon his ill-gotten gains, Ma-chow Wong was considered as the orbit round which the satellites of plunder revolved, and to him as the centre of attraction came the booty. He became the recognized head of the turbulent class of Chinese people, and a man of might and power for evil; and even held subordinate situations under government, such as that of Tepo of Shek-pai-wan, from which he was summarily ousted by Mr Hillier in 1853.\n\nAttorney General.—Well, was there not enough space in those offices to accommodate such documents for a few weeks, until Mr Wade's return?\n\nMr Mongan.—There may have been.\n\nAttorney General.—There may have been. Why quibble in this way? You know there was ample room.\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes, certainly there was room to have accommodated them 'till Mr Wade came back.\n\nCourt.—There was room.\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes, my Lord, I suppose there was.\n\nAttorney General.—Did it not occur to you, during examination of those books, as something strange that you should be directed only to assist Mr Caldwell?!\n\nMr Mongan.—I knew nothing about Ma-chow Wong at that time—It may have appeared singular. Very likely I thought it singular.\n\nAttorney General.—You, a gentleman of your attainments, to assist the man who was affected by the libel in the Mail...\n\nMr Mongan.—I dare say it did occur to me then, and I know it occurs to me now.\n\nAttorney General.—Very well, that is all I want to know. You see the letter begins \"Mr Caldwell has been directed to make the translation—you to assist\"—and then the Chief Magistrate to send. \"What seal was it on those packages?\n\nMr Mongan.—I am not sure what seal was on them—\n\nAttorney General.—They were sealed, you say—you must know what kind of a seal it was.\n\nMr Mongan.—I do not mean to be positive about it.\n\nAttorney General.—When you sent them to Mr Wade, do you not remember what stamp was on them?\n\nMr Mongan.—No.\n\nAttorney General.—But you do not remember any stamp?\n\nMr Mongan.—At no time do I remember what stamp was on the wax.\n\nAttorney General.—Have you not sworn that the suspicious documents would not take up more than half a cubic foot?\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes, I have sworn so—I mean that if all the suspicious documents had been collected together they would not measure more altogether than half a cubic foot.\n\nAttorney General.—You were examined twice by the Caldwell Commission.\n\nMr. Mongan.—Yes—once on the 23d of June.\n\nAttorney General.—And with exception of a slight discrepancy, the 30th of September for 29th of September, you swore, at the Police Court, to the truth of those depositions.\n\nMr Mongan.—I did.\n\nAttorney General.—Well, what made you alter that statement at the Police Court—why those corrections?\n\nMr Mongan.—I know that I received the books the day after the letter forwarding them—I thought so—I had not the letter before me.\n\nAttorney General.—The letter is dated the 28th—What made you think this?—What induced you to correct?\n\nMr Mongan.—On referring to my memorandum book I found that I received the papers on the 30th.\n\nAttorney General.—You read the article in the China Mail?",

I will tell your Lordship all about the destruction of the documents when Mr Green asks me.\n\nActing Attorney General.--Proceed,\n\nDr Bridges.--My knowledge of the Ma-chow Wong papers amounts to this:--A petition having been presented to the Executive Council to relieve Ma-chow Wong from the consequences of the verdict found against him in this Court, an inquiry which lasted several weeks was held by the Executive Council to investigate the matter. During the progress of that inquiry, the books of the firm to which he belonged were examined by Mr Mongan and Mr Caldwell. They made a report as to the contents of such books, but it subsequently appearing that Mr May, who examined the books through the medium of an interpreter, had found entries in the books which made more against Mr Caldwell than appeared from this report, a further reference was made to Mr Wade, and I believe the books were sent to him. I never saw the books, nor...\n\nDr Bridges.--I was appointed on the 15th February 1857,--when the burning took place I cannot tell you.\n\nAttorney General.--Who first appointed you?\n\nDr Bridges.--The Governor, and the home people confirmed the appointment.\n\nAttorney General.--I believe the confirmation was all in the same year.\n\nDr Bridges.--Very likely--I can't remember.\n\nAttorney General.--It is also true that you were Acting Attorney General from the 28th February 1852, to the 13th February 1853, and again from the 13th April 1855 to 15th of January 1856.\n\nDr Bridges.--Yes, I believe you are correct with the dates.\n\nAttorney General.--You, then, being naturally so well versed in the laws of the Colony, an official person, and an \"expert\" can tell the Court and Jury whether the commission of Sir John Davis as Governor was under writ of Privy Seal, and that of Sir John Bowring, dated the 15th of April 1854, a warrant under the Queen's sign manual--You will see them here (hands up volume of the Laws of Hongkong) at page 22.\n\nDr Bridges.--Yes, I admit or believe it to be true as stated here.\n\n(122)\n\nThese were not proved--the most serious charge of all, 10, being burked by the destruction of books which, according to the Hon'ble Mr Anstey, contained the damning evidence of Dr Bridges's subordinates' complicity with thieves, robbers, murderers and pirates.\n\nActing Attorney General, (to the Court).--Should the Crown open the case by evidence to rebut the plea of justification, or should the defendant first show his justification?\n\nAttorney General.--My learned friend has opened his case and must go through with it.\n\nActing Attorney General.--In \"Regina v. Newman,\" Sir Fred. Thesiger opened the case for the prosecution. The principal witness, Achilli, was not called until the end of the case for the defence. No witness was called in reply.\n\nCharge 4 ran that through his wife he had an alliance with some of the worst Chinese in the Colony. It is only common justice to Mrs Caldwell to say that since she has been Mr Caldwell's wife, no lady in the Colony has conducted herself with greater propriety but it was shown to the Commission that one or more of Mrs C's relations had acted very shamefully, especially in one instance, when, under pretence of releasing a Pawnbroker from pains and penalties to which he was liable, she succeeded in extorting a sum of $450. The Commission, however, appear to have viewed Mr Caldwell's \"alliance\" as a circumstance over which he had no control.\n\nAttorney General.--I was present at that trial.\n\nActing Attorney General.--So was I.\n\nAttorney General.--My learned friend forgets that that was not a Crown case, nor was it for a seditious libel. My learned friend has exhausted the whole of his case at once in his address to the Jury, and like all other accusers must be called on to prove his words. I object to his first going into his entire case, and then asking to be allowed to go into only a portion of it.\n\nActing Attorney General, (to Dr Bridges).--You were Acting Colonial Secretary on the 28th of July last.\n\nDr Bridges.--I was.\n\nActing Attorney General.--You have seen the article in the Friend of China of the date mentioned.\n\nDr Bridges.--I have.\n\nActing Attorney General.--It shall be read to you.--\n\nThe Commission appointed to enquire into the charges against Mr D. R. Caldwell, Registrar General, have reported four out of the nineteen true--six not wholly untrue,--nine groundless.\n\nCharge 8 ran--That the Chinese dare not now complain of the connivances and procurements of Mr Caldwell, the patron of Ma-chow Wong. The impossibility of proving this was asserted in the charge itself.\n\nCharge 11 ran with 10, and was favoured as 10 was. A Partnership between Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong, in the absence of the books, could not be proved.\n\nCharge 14 ran that Mr C. bought land in the Colony after December last, when he became (the official) licenser of brothels. This was disposed of as not satisfactorily proved.\n\n16 Brought the Chinese sister on the tapis again; but nothing came of the appearance.\n\nIn a supplementary letter, the Commission express their opinion that the Hon'ble Mr Anstey and Mr May acted in perfect good faith throughout...\n\nI believe they were first in the custody of the Police department. The Police sent them up to Mr Mongan, who sent them to Mr Wade, I may have seen them; but to the best of my belief I never saw them. Ma-chow Wong's case came on soon afterwards, and was decided on a matter totally unconnected with these books. One thing besides I can say, that previous to the month of April, after Ma-chow Wong's case had been decided, Mr Mongan came to my office one day and said,--\"What is to be done with the Ma-chow Wong books and papers?\" I said to him \"You had better ask the Governor.\" He said, \"I have been to the Governor, and he told me I had better come and ask you.\" My reply was, \"They are mere rubbish; you had better burn them.\" As near as I can remember this was all that took place. Subsequently the Governor came to me one day while the Caldwell Commission was sitting, and asked me, how it was that those papers came to be burned. I said, \"Mr Mongan came to me, and asked for my advice and I gave it; the matter was not one belonging to my department.\"\n\nCourt.--That ended the matter?\n\nDr Bridges.--That is all. I have been examined about it since in the course of the Caldwell Inquiry.\n\nActing Attorney General (reads paragraph respecting the charge having broken down).--What did you understand by that term?\n\nDr Bridges.--I understood it to mean that the charges brought against Mr Caldwell had failed to be substantiated.\n\nDr Bridges.--I am perfectly willing to admit that.\n\nAttorney General.--Mr Masson, I wish you to produce the Court's Copy of the Colonial Service regulations. It is intituled.--\n\n(Rules and Regulations for H. M. Colonial Service, London, Queen's Printers 1856)\n\nWithin the Titlepage. \"This revised edition of the Rules and Regulations for H. M. Colonial Service has been compiled by the Secretary of State, and is now printed for the information and guidance of the Governors of H. M.'s Colonies, and of all H. M.'s officers subordinate to them....\n\nColonial Office, Downing Street,\n\nMarch 1856.]\n\nMr Masson.--Here it is.\n\nAttorney General.--Will you be good enough to refer to part 3, Section 4 defining the duties of Governors.\n\nMr Masson, (reads).--\n\n[III.

Do you produce it?\n\nDr Bridges.--No. I have been out of the service of the Government for nearly two months (Addressing the Court). I wish to put myself entirely in your Lordship's hands as to how far I am to go, with respect to revealing...\n\n7.--With being long and intimately connected with Ma-chow Wong, such connection still subsisting, the principal link being the bond of affinity by adoption according to Chinese laws,--\n\n9.--With having procured bail for Ma-chow Wong, such bail being a servant of his own (Mr C.'s) who had been a month before in prison for debt.\n\n13.--With inducing the Attorney General, at the beginning of 1857, to order the release of a great number of men whom Mr May knows to have been pirates, and whom Mr Caldwell ought to have known at the time were pirates.\n\nAs regarded the conviction on this charge, 13, the Commission expressed their opinion in no measured terms; almost amounting, in fact, to an accusation of connivance at crime.\n\nThe charges dismissed as groundless were 2, 3, 5, 10, 12, 15, 17, 18 and 19. The wording of some of these charges is so gross that we will not quote in full. In brief, without particularizing, it was asserted that he had a scandalous connection with brothels; speculated in such infamies; and at one time was owner of three unlicensed bagnios;--Received rack rents of certain lots on which brothels stand;--Passed part of his life among pirates and outlaws;--Deceived the Executive Council regarding Ma-chow Wong, audaciously denying that his books and papers contained evidence of his guilt--Harbouring Mah's wife after his conviction--Was a member of a secret society, and felt no unwillingness to his wife's exercise of an oily palm.\n\n...good faith throughout; and when we bear in mind that the principal charge broke down through a contemptible, damnable trick on the part of Government--a trick which should certainly be punished in some way or other, for it is farcical to say, we think it only proper that the thanks of the Community should be conveyed to Messrs Anstey and May, for their warm and disinterested efforts on behalf of the public. The destruction of the books is most unfortunate for Mr Caldwell--the honesty or otherwise of his aims is involved in greater mystery than ever.\n\nCharge No 1 was to the effect that Mr D. R. Caldwell was unfit to be a Justice of the Peace. The Commission returned as true the charges quoted in full, but, by a majority of votes, decided that he was not unfit to be a Justice of the Peace. We are accustomed to anomalies and apparent inconsistencies in Hongkong, and feel no surprise at this.--Friend of China, July 28, 1858.\n\nActing Attorney General.--What do you imply from that article?\n\nDr Bridges.--I understand that article to imply that the principal charge against Mr Caldwell broke down through the action of Government, in the destruction of certain books and papers. The principal charge was the connection between Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong, and that there was a partnership existing between them. One of the charges against Mr Caldwell was, that he was a confederate of pirates, and that certain papers tending to establish that charge were missing.\n\nPage 396\n\n(123)",

        "content_text": "# [70]\n\nwhich, whether true or false, have induced you to make use of the language employed by you in your letter of yesterday dated the 9th. Upon that letter I have nothing more to remark at present--I shall lay it, with the notes of the Chief Magistrate, and a minute of my own, before His Excellency the Governor.\n\nYou will therefore understand that my object in thus addressing you is to explain to you that what has been done in this matter by the Registrar General has not originated with him, but from my acting under the impression that it is my duty to attempt to alter what I conceive to be a scandal upon Police direction in this Colony.\n\n\"I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,\n**\"C. MAY, Esq.\"**, \nSuperintendent of Police.\n\n\"No. 12.\"\n\n66\n\nMr. May's rejoinder.\n\n66\n\n**\"W. T. BRIDGES,\"** Acting Colonial Secretary.\n\n## OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 12th March, 1858.\n\nSIR,-I have to acknowledge receipt of your letter No. 125, dated 11th March, written during the absence of His Excellency the Governor at Canton. The Circular referred to therein, as it shows upon the face of it, was written by me as a Justice of the Peace to three brother Justices, who were sitting on the Bench when an insinuation based on falsehood was uttered by a witness in a case under hearing, and which insinuation, if unnoticed by me, was calculated to injure my character, and be a lasting reproach to my honor. The Circular contained within itself and its accompanying report from Inspector Jarman ample refutation of all inferences injurious to me, and also expressed deep indignation, that I should have been thus wantonly assailed by an Officer of Government, who is well known to have a spirit of hostility towards me, caused, because in the necessary performance of my duty, I exposed to Her Majesty's Government that, for a series of years, he was either the dupe or the partisan of a man convicted of confederating with pirates--the notorious Wong Akce, alias Mah-chow Wong.\n\nI had hoped that the refutation would have obtained the desired end, but your letter painfully undeceived me, and I am therefore, after a service of twenty-three years in Her Majesty's Government, compelled still further to reply to so degrading an insinuation.\n\nI offer no reply to one part of your letter because I am assured His Excellency will not tolerate any invasion upon private reputation unconnected in any way with the public Service or Duty.\n\nYour letter states that you intend laying before His Excellency the Governor my Circular, together with the notes of the Chief Magistrate, and a minute of your own. I should like that the report of Inspector Jarman be also laid before His Excellency, and that, if the notes of the Chief Magistrate were written before he perused my refutation, that that Gentleman may have opportunity to state what were his opinions after such perusal, and I have no doubt but that His Excellency will think it proper to obtain the opinions or notes of the third Justice present at the utterance of the scandal.\n\nI have now only to reply to the last charge, viz., that it is deduced from inference that I knew of the existence of the brothel prosecuted by the Registrar General. I beg therefore to draw your recollection to a conversation I held with you ten days back on the subject of the said brothel. You then informed me that a Military Gentleman had told you certain particulars about the house, situated in a range of buildings, one of which was occupied by Mr. Almeida; and you described the position of the suspected house, stating that you believed it to be kept by a woman named Ahtai. You requested me to direct Inspector Jarman to look after the matter. I told you then, that I did not know of the existence of such a house, but would do as you desired. Showing that I complied with your request, I enclose a report from Inspector Jarman. Up to the time of your mentioning the subject, I was under the impression that the three houses, of which the suspected one is the centre, were all occupied by Parsee Merchants, and as regards my frequently passing the house and thereby gaining knowledge by observation, I beg to declare upon my honor, that I have not passed the house ten times in one month during the four months I resumed my Office of Superintendent of Police.\n\nI must further state that I cannot draw the inference you do from the relative position of the respective houses occupied by Mrs. Rozario and the prostitute Ahtai, that the occupant of one should be supposed to know the character of the other, inasmuch as both houses in regard to each other are four houses (round the angle of the range) distant from each other, in different Streets.\n\nTouching inference and deduction, however, on so grave a matter, I believe I need not have made reply. The reputation of a man is not to be placed at the hazard of inference.\n\nHaving thus respectfully, although feeling deeply injured, as much by your official letter as by the misstatement and insinuation of the Registrar General, I respectfully appeal to His Excellency the Governor to give me that justice which I can only seek at his hands. The only consolation I have is the full knowledge of the rectitude of my public conduct being understood and appreciated by the public, and I am assured, that even without defence, there is not one man in the Colony (not even the Registrar General) who can say that he ever knew me swerve from what I considered my duty.\n\n\"I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,\n**\"C. MAY,\"** \nSuperintendent of Police.\n\n## NOTE.\n\nI perceive from Mr. Jarman's report that he does not recollect my instructing him to look after the house; but my firm belief is that I did, because it is obvious that I could only have that intention. The matter was so curiously (and jocularly) mentioned by the Acting Colonial Secretary, that I never gave the subject a thought until I was astounded by the proceedings at the Police Court. **\"C.M.\"**\n\nThe Honorable The ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.\n\n**\"CHAS. MAY, Esq.\"**\n\n### Enclosure No. 1 in Mr. May's letter.\n\n## VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 10th March, 1858.\n\nSIR, In accordance with your request of this date I examined the residence of Mrs. de Rozario's, and am of opinion that it is quite impossible for any female to escape from Mrs. Attai's residence to that of Mrs. Rozario's.\n\nBut without much difficulty a female could escape from Mrs. Attai's to that of Mrs. Ah Yow's, the latter being the intermediate house between that of Mrs. Rozario's and Mrs. Attai's. I notice there is a side window to the house occupied by Mrs. Rozario, but as there are permanent window's bars to that window it would effectually prevent any person gaining entrance there.\n\n\"I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,\n**\"JAS. JARMAN,\"** \nInspector of Police.\n\n### Enclosure No. 2 in Mr. May's letter.\n\n## 12th March, 1858.\n\nSIR,-With reference to a conversation that took place about a fortnight ago, it runs as follows to the best of my recollection. I complained to you that one of the horse coolies had been neglecting a Police horse. You directed me to send for the Coolie, which I did.",

        "content_text": "## Memorandum\n\nwas. \n\nand immediately after you asked me if I knew whether a female named Attai was residing in any of the houses, in the turning west of the Union Chapel: I said that I believed she was residing there. That the last time I summoned her I heard that she had purchased a house from Mrs. Aliken in that Street. Some conversation further took place touching the identity of the woman Attai as having formerly dressed in European Clothes, and I stated that I believed the girls in her house were kept girls. I do not perfectly recollect whether I received any order on the subject of watching the house.\n\nI have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, \n\"JAS. JARMAN,\" \nInspector of Police\n\n\"CHARLES MAY, Esq.,\" \nSuperintendent of Police.\n\n## Mr. Bridges' Memo: to Sir John Bowring, with enclosures.\n\n\"SIR, I have the honor to submit to your Excellency the accompanying documents, being the Depositions taken by the Chief Magistrate in the case of Regina v. Ahtai, convicted of keeping a brothel.\n\n\"A letter addressed by Mr. May to Mr. Anstey, Mr. Davies and myself.\n\"An official letter from me to the Superintendent of Police, Mr. May.\n\n\"If I am correctly informed, the Superintendent of Police, being a married man, has been keeping a mistress within one door of a brothel kept open in violation of the Ordinance restricting such houses to a certain locality, and the fact of the existence of this brothel was notorious to all the surrounding neighbourhood, and a general subject of complaint. No attempt has been made by the Superintendent of Police to cause this violation of the law to be suppressed, and I am therefore bound to suppose him to sanction its existence.\n\n\"Ordinance 12 of 1857 did not, when originally suggested by me, meet with the approval of your Excellency, but since it has become law I feel bound to state that you have given me all the support which appeared necessary for the effectual carrying out of the measure. It will be however impossible for me to attempt to discharge the duties of my office with regard to this Ordinance if in addition to the tacit opposition which the Superintendent of Police has given to it in every possible way from the commencement, he be permitted to give positive encouragement to offenders in the manner I have above mentioned. The whole Police Force necessarily follow the lead set them by their Chief, and I am now at no loss to understand why my endeavours to carry out thoroughly what I believe to be a beneficial enactment, have never been aided by the Police, but solely by the Registrar General and the Inspector of Nuisances. Unless forced to do so I would be the last man to enquire how any servant of the Queen here observes or disregards the ordinary laws of morality, but now that this question has assumed an official shape I feel bound to call to the remembrance of your Excellency that Mr. May was for a considerable period a cause of great scandal to this community as the owner of the most offensive brothel property in this Colony. And I beg also to state that for many months (previous to my tenure of Office) he had this very same woman Rozario living and sleeping with him at his quarters, as Superintendent of Police, to the great offence of other married members of the Force.\n\n\"I attach so much importance to the conduct of the Superintendent of Police, and to the feeling evinced by him towards the Registrar General, who in this matter has only obeyed my official directions, that unless your Excellency is pleased to give me full support in carrying out what I conceive to be my duties, I must most reluctantly request your Excellency to relieve me from them.\n\n\"The subordinate executive machinery of this Colony rests almost entirely on the Registrar General and the Superintendent of Police. Of the former I have never had reason to complain; the latter has rarely given me satisfaction; I believe that he has by degrees amassed a certain amount of property, and the duties of his Office are generally sacrificed to his private concerns.\n\nAs far as I can ascertain, the ill-feeling evinced by Mr. May to Mr. Caldwell arises solely from the latter occupying a higher post than himself in the Government service, whereas he was at one time Mr. May's subordinate. The services of the present Registrar General are invaluable to the Colony, those of the present Superintendent of Police could be very easily dispensed with.\n\n\"Your Excellency is aware that I am not now for the first time expressing an unfavorable opinion of Mr. May, but each successive month confirms my views of his unfitness for his present post.\n\n\"I should be very unwilling that the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State for the Colonies should have reason to suppose that Ordinance 12 of 1857 failed from inherent defects, as after my warm advocacy of it my credit is to a certain degree involved in it. If therefore your Excellency declines to sanction by your approval the view which I have taken, I most respectfully request that all the documents may be forwarded to the Colonial Office for the information of Mr. Labouchere.\"\n\n\"W. T. BRIDGES.\"\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 11th March, 1857.\n\n## Postscript\n\nSince writing the above I have received a letter from the Superintendent of Police which I annex. Its tone towards myself and the feeling it exhibits towards the Registrar General are such as to confirm the views that I have herein respectfully submitted to His Excellency, and to render my farther tenure of office worthless to Her Majesty's Service in this Colony if the conduct of the Superintendent of Police is not visited by punishment.-\"W.

On Saturday night last, at 11 P M., I went to the house of 5th defendant in Hollywood Road outside of the districts where brothels are allowed. I knocked for some time, and while so doing I heard 5th defendant call out to keep the \"devils\" (foreigners) quiet. I heard the voices of women inside. I was kept there half-an-hour. I said who I was, and then the door was opened. In a room on the lower floor I saw three European men. I went upstairs, I searched the house but could find no women, except defendant, and one or two old women. I said to her that I must take her to the Station on the charge of keeping a brothel; she said if I insisted on her leaving the house she would go elsewhere, or that she would pay the fine at once, but asked me to be tender with her. There was a window where women could get out.\n\nI heard women voices; before I went in I had the house surrounded so that I am sure no women got out into the streets. They could only have got into a house No. 894.\n\n正月收銀七十五圓 卄收紙銀四十圓 四 \n\n322",

The increase of Revenue is derived from two items alone. The first is an increase on the returns of the Excise farms, which sold in April for £12,000 more than the rate of last year.

The course which Captain Osborne should probably have parsed, was to have reported insett, on his arrival in the Yangtexs river, to the Governor General of the Two King, and to have given him delivery of the Fleet. Mr. Lay, however, is reported to have de. manded the direct recognition by Prince Kuug of Capt. Osborne, and to have de clined delivering over the vessels to aby local provincial officer. Tseng Ko-fan, to whom the Chinese Governatont desired the vessels to be given, is a man of great note, and rulos over not less than 20,000,000 of people, beeides possessing most extensive infance in the Chinese Empire. Mr. Lay, of all men, was to have been expected to have avoided the mistake of ignoring this mandarin; and people hore are surprised \n\nto the cause; and, moreover, that, of tha later number, some still lanhl out in the different parts of the city.

        "content_text": "# Stoughtong, 3rd August, 1865.\n\nTHE solemn distribution, by His Excellency the Acting Governor, of the prizes awarded to the successful competitors in the examinations of the two previous days, the progress of which we have recorded, took place at St Saviour's College, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon in the presence of a number of distinguished visitors, among whom we noticed the Honorable the Acting Chief Justice, and Mrs BALL, the Honorable Mr WHYTE, the Honorable T. SUTHERLAND, JULIAN PAUNCEFOTE, Esq., C. C. SMITH, Esq., the Acting Spanish Consal, Dr RODRIGUEZ, Mr and Mrs SCOTT, Mr D'ALMADA, of the Colonial Office, &c.\n\nThe day's proceedings commenced with the delivery, by the Rev. T. RAIMONDI, of an introductory address, descriptive of the rise and progress of the Institution within whose walls they were then assembled, and a brief explanatory statement of the course of study adopted and pursued therein. The Reverend Gentleman read this address, a copy of which we have been fortunate enough to secure. We therefore give it entire. It was as follows:--\n\n**YOUR EXCELLENCY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,**\n\nSaint Saviour's College, which you have this day honoured with your presence, is not of very ancient date. Five years ago, we opened our first school for European children in a small house hired for the purpose. We began with 20 pupils and two teachers, one English, the other Portuguese. Two years later, the number of pupils having very considerably increased, we built two additional rooms for their accommodation, and, in the third year, we added another room for the Chinese children who wished to learn English.\n\nIt was only last year that we took possession of this new and handsome building specially designed for educational purposes, and named Saint Saviour's School. During the past year many pupils have been sent to us from the different ports in China, and the name has, consequently, been changed to Saint Saviour's College, which numbers now nearly 140 pupils, 27 boarders, upwards of fifty European, and about sixty Chinese day scholars. It is now two years since we first ventured to call public attention to our doings by instituting a public examination of the pupils and a solemn distribution of the prizes. On that occasion the Honourable the Acting Chief Justice did us the honour to preside, inspiring and delighting the boys by his kindness and affability. It is most gratifying to us who are doing our best to carry on these schools successfully, to see your Excellency and so many ladies and gentlemen assembled here to-day to do us honour. I thank you most heartily in the name of these children for your kindness, and I have no doubt, that they will derive new strength and courage from your visit, and be urged on and encouraged to pursue their studies with more ardour than before.\n\nFive languages are taught here, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese, Arithmetic in all its branches, Algebra, Mensuration, Book-keeping, Geography, History, Music, vocal and instrumental, and Drawing are also taught. The staff of teachers comprises eight individuals of different nations.\n\nSaint Saviour's is essentially a Commercial School. In an English colony, supported entirely by commerce, with a European population who must earn their bread by trade, it would be a manifest folly to instruct the youth in any branches of human knowledge not directly or indirectly required in the daily business of their lives.\n\nBut neither have we so strictly limited ourselves in laying down our plan of study as to cramp the intellect, or to render our pupils unfit for other and more purely intellectual employments. A sound knowledge of mathematics, of geography, of history, and of modern languages is a preparation for any position or employment however high. A youth thoroughly grounded in those branches has had his powers of reasoning fully and fairly developed, and the way laid open before him for the cultivation of all his mental powers.\n\nNeither have we neglected, in the pursuit of more solid accomplishments, those branches which in every sphere of life render men acceptable in society, and keep their hearts fresh and untainted by the selfish passions of maturer years. Music and drawing relieve and diversify the severer studies which, while they strengthen the reason, tend very often, to wither and dry up the heart and the affections. Living with our pupils not only during school-hours, but throughout the day, we give our whole hearts to the work. We endeavour, by precept and example, to strengthen their minds, to elevate their hearts, to render them gentlemen in every sense of the word, fit to take their places in the world and in society, good men and useful citizens. Such has been our aim; how far we have succeeded you will now have an opportunity of judging. You must not expect to find our pupils finished scholars. They are still only boys, although well disposed and not unworthy of the honour you have done them in coming here to-day. In conclusion, permit me to express our pleasure that in our school established under the protection of the British flag are to be found students from every port in China and in the East; Hongkong is the commercial centre and capital of these Eastern lands, We hope to see it the capital of science and of literature.\n\nThe Rev. Gentleman was listened to throughout with attention, and more than once vigorously applauded. Those who had been present at the examinations on the two previous days gave willing testimony to the truth of his assertions and to the progress that had been made by the boys in their studies.\n\nOn the Rector resuming his seat, a number of the little fellows stood forward and sung, to the accompaniment of the piano, with no small skill and taste. The Pianist, a youth of fifteen and a native of Manila, reflected the greatest credit on his instructors, by the ease and correctness with which he executed, during the course of the day more than one very difficult piece. In addition to being well taught, the boy must be gifted by nature with a very correct ear and a very considerable degree of talent for music. His performance was really wonderful.\n\nAt the conclusion of the song, declamations, recitations and musical exercises followed one another alternately. A scene from Shakespeare, a French poem, a Spanish ballad, an extract from some Portuguese poet, and a Chinese piece, were effectively rendered amid the applause of the audience. The youngsters fully deserved the cordial reception they received at the hands of their visitors. Then followed the distribution of the prizes, books carefully and well selected, which were handed to the victors in the several classes by His Excellency Mr MERCER with a few words of advice and encouragement. We give the list of prizes below. Each of the little fellows as he retired with his premium received the plaudits of his school-fellows and friends, but we missed the enthusiasm that would have prevailed among English boys on such an occasion. How well we remember the prolonged and noisy exclamations that used to greet, in our distant school-days, the success of some favourite of his school-fellows, and how difficult it sometimes was to preserve the necessary degree of silence and attention after the first three or four names had been read out.\n\nWhen the last book had been placed in the hands of the little Chinese boy whose prize it was, Mr MERCER rose, and addressing himself to the Rev. the Rector of the College, to the Vicar Apostolic Father Luis AMBROSI, and to the Gentlemen around him, expressed his gratitude to the Superiors of Saint Saviour's College for their kindness in inviting him to be present on that occasion. He had been very much pleased with everything that he had seen. He was happy to know that there was so good a School in the Colony, one so likely to be useful. He congratulated the Rev. Rector and the Officers of the Institution on the successful results of their labours. He had experienced a very great degree of pleasure in distributing the prizes among the pupils. He sincerely hoped that those who had that day been rewarded would be thereby encouraged to persevere in the honourable course on which they had entered, that those who had not received premiums would be incited to further exertions in the hope of obtaining similar rewards on a future occasion. In conclusion, he begged to return his very sincere thanks to the Rev. Father RAIMONDI for his kind invitation, and to the Gentlemen around him for their presence and support.\n\nThe Rev. Gentleman replied in a few well-chosen words, acknowledging His Excellency's kindness in presiding, and hoping to be able, on some future occasion, to exhibit a very marked improvement.\n\nThe proceedings terminated with God Save the Queen.\n\n[ \"Evening Mail\" 4th August, 1865 ]",

The following items are from the Japan Times:—\n\nWe are still unable to give the name of the new port on the West coast. We are glad to find that our fear that Tsurunga would be chosen was unfounded; the foreign Ministers have expressed themselves strongly against it. The Serpent, one of H.B.M.'s surveying ships, is now engaged examining all the apparently eligible harbours on the West coast, and some weeks must necessarily elapse before Captain Bullock can make his report.\n\nOur news from Osaka are by no means satisfactory; they augur anything but ease for the Shingoon and peace for the empire. Consequently, unless existing difficulties can be previously arranged, we cannot anticipate much advantage for ourselves when the ports are opened next year. The combination of Daimios against the Shiogoon, to which we alluded last mail, we have now ascertained to be an actual and threatening reality. They very naturally object to the extension of a trade in which they have no share, and the profits from which only strengthen an able and dangerous rival, whom they shrewdly suspect of a design to become their absolute master.\n\nIt appears that Osaka not being strictly his own port, the Shiogoon, by taking the responsibility of promising that it shall be opened in 1868, has so far committed himself that the Daimios opposed to him have just ground of complaint that they had not been previously consulted. They carefully avoided giving him any opportunity of consulting them, it must be remarked, by steadily refusing to attend the conference which he has repeatedly endeavoured to assemble for the purpose. They declare that Osaka shall not be opened, unless foreign trade is also permitted at certain points in their own dominions, and Satsuma, Chiosiu, Echizen, Tosa, and Kanga have declared that if Osaka be opened in 1868, they will themselves invite foreigners to trade at their own ports. It is difficult to say how this can be prevented with any show of right, and very easy to see that much evil will result from the fulfilment of their threat. Subjects of Powers having treaties with the Shiogoon can be punished for trading at any of his ports not opened by those treaties, but at ports out of his territory, and where his authority is not acknowledged, we can see nothing to prevent traders doing whatever business they can, particularly when specially invited by the Sovereign of that country.\n\nOn the other hand, foreign Powers will certainly never make a number of separate treaties with these individual Daimios, and, consequently, foreign traders repairing to their ports would have to do so on their own responsibility, and would be without the inestimable advantage of consular protection. Probably business trade, by means of coasting vessels, supercargos, and receiving ships, a system the evils and inconveniences of which are manifest. The development of the Japan trade has been so...\n\n#### PASSENGERS OUTWARD.\n\nPer P. and O. steamer Euxine, from Southampton, August 4-To Shanghai: Mrs. Algernon Wright and child.

        "content_text": "## \n\ntell the magnitude of the commerce that is transacted in this central entrepot of the China coast. And, gentlemen, this result can be explained by one word—the harbour. So long as no convulsion of nature sinks the island in the sea or chokes up its magnificent harbour, will Hongkong continue to advance, and without fear of a rival. In due course of time the iron horse—the inevitable iron horse—will find its way throughout the length and breadth of the land of China, and the question naturally arises, how will this affect Hongkong? It will, in my opinion, make it even greater than before. A railway from a Yangtse port, say Hankow, to the south of China will be a necessity as saving hundreds of miles of ocean and river navigation. Where shall its terminus be? It will doubtless reach Canton and bring up on the shore of Kowloon, and there the produce of the Celestial empire will be shot into ocean-going vessels lying alongside of convenient piers and landing-places. This is no vain notion. I firmly believe it, and I have confidently predicted it. But, gentlemen, there is a social point involved in your address, and on that a few words may be said. It has always been my aim since I first set foot on this island to practise and promote the amenities of society, for, with a large community dwelling like us in a space somewhat confined, it must happen that toes are at times trodden on, and to heal differences and increase good feeling should be the part of every one who wishes to do his duty to his fellow-men. This I have steadily and perseveringly endeavoured to do, and I am rejoiced to recollect that this is not the first time by many on which your approval has satisfied me that I have not essayed in vain. Painful as it is to part from well-known places and familiar associations—still more from friends who can give so convincing a proof of their confidence and regard as you now give me—the pain is somewhat tempered by the reflection that my memories of Hongkong will always be of a pleasant nature,\n\n## \n\nand not among the least agreeable will be the remembrance of this day, when you offer me a most distinguished compliment, for which I can but inadequately express my heartfelt thanks. Gentlemen, I wish you health, happiness, and prosperity as I bid you, one and all, farewell.\n\nThree cheers were then given for Mr. Mercer and another for Mrs. Mercer, and the meeting broke up.\n\n## II\n\nThis address from the Scottish Residents of Hongkong is here inserted, although its character may be said to be more special than public.\n\n## MR. MERCER AND THE ST. ANDREW'S CLUB\n\nAt the Hongkong Club on the 4th instant, an Address was presented to the Honorable W. T. Mercer, as President of the St. Andrew's Club from his \"Brither Scots,\" resident in Hongkong, in consequence of his intended departure from the Colony. Upwards of fifty gentlemen were present, and the address, which was read by Mr. Henry Murray, was as follows:\n\nTo the Honorable William Thomas Mercer, Esq., &c. &c.\n\n\"SIR,—In addressing you upon your approaching departure from Hongkong, we perform a very painful task, as well as a pleasant and gratifying duty. It will be with no ordinary feelings of regret that we shall witness the retirement from the colony of an intelligence which, exercised in the positions of the highest importance, has during three-and-twenty years most materially aided the wonderful development of which Hongkong can boast.",

An inquest was held at the Civil Hospital on Saturday afternoon (24th), F. Stewart, Esq., the Coroner, on the body of a Chinese emigrant who died in the Yee-Tsze Hospital.\n\nThe following were the Jury: Messrs Edwin Farrell (foreman), Otto Frederick, and A. Thompson.\n\nA juryman asked if witness knew that a doctor had ever visited the place?\n\nWitness: I was told that some of the patients were from the emigration houses; one or two were chair coolies; and the rest were from different parts of the town, from families and shops.\n\nThe Coroner: Describe the state of the Hospital.\n\nWitness: In regard to the state of the hospital, I can only say that the attendant there could not tell me without shaking any particular man, whether the man was alive or not.\n\nMy visit on the 22nd was not the first, but it was the first on which I had found any patients or dead bodies.\n\nThe Coroner: How many did you find used as wards for patients?\n\nWitness: I found four occupied by patients.\n\nThe Coroner: Did you go over each?\n\nWitness: The first room was not high enough to admit of a man standing up. It was about 4 feet by 3, with no window, but only slits on the wall, and they were covered.\n\nA Chinese bed was placed on trestles, at a height from the ground of three or four feet, and this board nearly filled the room.\n\nOn this board lay a man who, I was told, was suffering from diarrhoea.\n\nThe Coroner: Did you see any attempt to make the man comfortable, any medicine, for instance?\n\nWitness: There were no bottles of medicines. Vessels were at the place for the necessities of nature, but I was given to understand that the man had been shut in the room because he was delirious, and would not come out.\n\nThe Coroner sent Sgt Gray to get all the books belonging to this \"hospital.\"\n\nWitness continued: The room contained three people unable to speak or move. I do not think there were any mats on the trestles.\n\nThe Coroner: Was there any ventilation in this place?\n\nWitness: Only an opening in the door. There was no effective ventilation, so far as I could see.\n\nI saw a dead patient, and I saw a coolie offer some tea to one who was delirious.\n\nThe Coroner: What in your opinion is the motive for sending patients to such a place? Is it that they may be cured, or to die?\n\nWitness: The Chinese cannot get over their hatred of persons dying in their house, and these men, I believe, were sent to the place, not so much to be cured as to die, and so avoid dying in any person's house.\n\nThe Coroner: Can you assign any reason for the apparent carelessness in this case?\n\nWitness: Yes; from the number of persons brought by exceptional circumstances into the colony, who have no friends whatever in the place, or anywhere else.\n\nDr Cochrane said he visited the place early yesterday morning, but he saw nothing about it to indicate its being a Hospital.\n\nMr Lister: An Inspector of police might have gone down there a dozen times, and never have suspected that the place was other than a coolie residence.\n\nDr Cochrane said the place was utterly unfit for hospital purposes, and the chances of recovery there must be very small.\n\nThe Coroner: I shall ask for very strong proof of the possibility that anybody ailing could come out alive.\n\nThe Master of the Hospital, a man named Wong-chi-lam, said he knew the deceased, but was ignorant of his name.\n\nThe Coroner asked Mr Caldwell if he did so rely on this man.\n\nMr Caldwell: Yes, I have never asked him for any account. If he wanted any money for burial, he could have it.\n\nThe Coroner: I presume that as Mr Caldwell has seen the weak point in the coolie system.",

There was no doubt that in theory there was nothing better for China than emigration, when properly carried jont, but when brought into practice, it was found that abuses crept in, and eveu a man with the experience and knowledge of the Chinese, such as Mr Caldwell had been un able to prevent such abuses from entering into the system.

But the Jury would not be doing. all their duty if they merely recorded therr; interest in this subject-no inquiry had ereated so much interest for many a day-- and the Jury, as representing the public, would he hope become the public mouth piece. He would not dictate to them what the record of their opinion regarding emi- gration would be; but he would say that it would have to be in very strong terus ere be dissented from it. If Mr Caldwell was. fin future the conductor of the emigration system, he was sure that the abuses\" which had been before the Jury would not last- they would certainly be done away with.

        "content_text": "(42)\n\nThe Galatea, including Lord Charles Beresford, Lieutenant Fitz-George and E. Ponsonby, Esq., made an excursion to Victoria Peak which overhangs the City, and forms so striking a point of view to all visitors to Hongkong. The party were much struck by the position of Mountain Lodge, the Governor's summer residence, 1,750 feet above the level of the sea, and commanding a magnificent view extending far over the Mainland on the West, and upwards of fifty Islands from the West to the East. His Royal Highness expressed his surprise that the wealthy Merchant Princes of the Colony had not availed themselves of the vicinity to their City of a position offering so bracing a climate, in the hottest time of the year. It is certainly difficult to account for the comparative neglect of such a spot, as it takes only forty minutes to reach it, and less than thirty to return. The advantages of the site were, however, only recently demonstrated, and the security afforded there by a Telegraph and Police Station is quite a modern boon, not even yet completed. The future of the Peak, therefore, is still to be developed, though we are not so sanguine as to think that it will supersede trips to Europe!\n\nTuesday, November 16th.-It was officially announced that the Galatea would leave this afternoon; and, as a fitting termination to the Prince's visit, His Royal Highness had consented to lay the first Stone of a new Choir for S. John's Cathedral in the morning. At half past nine, the Clergy, in their canonicals, and the Choir, in their surplices, assembled in the Church, and a procession was formed to march to the Stone, for the purpose of receiving the Prince. About the same time, a guard of honour, provided by the 75th Regiment, was drawn up on the ground. Precisely at 10 o'clock, His Royal Highness arrived, accompanied by His Excellency the Governor and Lady MacDonnell, the Honorable E. C. Yorke, A. B. Haig, Esq., the Honorable C. C. Smith and Mrs. Smith. He was met at the foot of the Platform which had been erected, by the Clergy; the Honorable J. G. Austin, the Honorable W. Keswick, the Honorable E. H. Pollard, Q.C., and Messrs. Mitchell, Moorsom, and Pyke, Trustees; and several Officers of the Army and Navy. The Troops having presented arms, and played the National Anthem, the Prince ascended the Platform; and the Service was commenced with the 84th Psalm, \"O how amiable are thy Dwellings, &c.,\" sung by the Cathedral Choir, and the Congregation which had assembled to take part in the solemn Ceremony. The Colonial Chaplain then read the first portion of the 'Form of Prayer,' which had been prepared and printed for the occasion; after which, the Reverend R. O'Callaghan, Chaplain, R.N., read the Lesson, taken from Hebrews, X. 19-26. The Lord Bishop being absent from the Colony, the Canon Residentiary then, on behalf of the Trustees and Churchmen of Hongkong, requested His Royal Highness to lay the Stone, which will form the centre plinth of the Eastern end of the new Chancel.\n\n(43)\n\nA silver trowel having been handed to the Prince by the Surveyor General, His Royal Highness laid some mortar, and said:\"In the Faith of Jesus Christ, we place this first Stone, in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, Amen.\" After this he struck the Stone gently three times, and declared it to be \"well and truly laid.\" The Hymn, \"O Lord of Hosts, whose glory fills, &c., &c.,\" (from 'Hymns Ancient and Modern,') was now sung, and the suffrages from the Litany, for the Queen and Royal Family, &c., and two Collects referring to the special uses of the Chancel were said; after which, the Reverend Canon Beach, M.A., spoke as follows:-\" By permission\n\n(52)",

        "content_text": "134\n\nOne of Tang-kwo-fan's lieutenants is now here with an escort of 80 to 100 troops; with no ostensible object. It is somewhat curious that when Tseng-kwo-fan himself was down here last year, one of the reasons given for his visit was his intention to seize the French Consulate, it being Imperial property; and it is also noteworthy that when some of us in 1861 endeavoured to purchase this same property, we were told it could not be sold as it belonged to the Emperor.\n\n24th. The two Russian bodies were buried in the British cemetery yesterday afternoon, and shortly after, the body of the third Russian was found in the river, and was buried this morning. Yesterday the Chinese authorities sent down to the British Consulate five coffins containing bodies which were recognised as those of Mr. and Mrs. Thomasin of the French legation, M. Simon of the Consulate; Father Cheverier and a Chinese priest. M. Simon was so hacked as to be hardly recognisable. Mrs. Thomasin was cut in the back of the neck. She had her clothes on. These bodies, with the French Consul's, six in number, have all been placed to-day in the British cemetery pending instructions from the French authorities, as it was impossible to keep them above ground any longer.\n\nThe bodies of a young couple were found, whose wedding had been celebrated less than a week ago amid great rejoicings. The bodies were stripped, and the young wife, only about 16, had her arm broken and cuts on face and body, and three fingers cut off apparently for the sake of the rings. The freshness of these bodies is supposed to be due to their contact with the salt-stacks where they were killed. They had only been a short time in the water. Another body found at the same time could not be recognised and is believed to be Chinese. Since then, a fourth body found in the water, horribly cut about the head and face, and with part of one hand cut off, was recognised by two French subjects, Messrs. Borel and Coutris, who have made their escape from the city, as being the body of the French Consul, M. Fontanier; his socks also bore the initials H. F. This body was also stripped; at the time he met his death, he wore the Consular uniform. Yesterday, H. E. Chung-How said the Consul's body was one of seven taken out of the water and put in coffins. These bodies are to be kept until the arrival of the French authorities from Peking, expected here to-day or to-morrow.\n\nMr. and Mrs. Stamman, and Mr. Meyer, came down to the settlement this morning under an escort from Chung-How; they are believed to be the sole survivors of the foreigners who were in the city; twenty or twenty-one are dead or missing, and of these, twelve are women, nine sisters, Mrs. Thomasin, Mrs. Chalmaisin, French, and Mrs. Protopopoff, Russian. It appears the French Consul, on the attack being made, had gone to Chung-How's Yamen, and had induced Chung-How to accompany him to the Consulate. On their way thither, they met the Cheh-hsien, and Chung-How's story is that the Consul fired at the Che-hsien, whereupon the mob rose and cut him down, killing him on the spot. Mr. and Mrs. Thomasin were killed inside the Consulate. Mrs. Chalmaisin got on her horse and escaped, her husband being killed in his doorway as he was coming out. Mrs. Chalmaisin returned to the house in the evening in Chinese dress, but it seems the omission to change her foreign boots led to her detection, and she was slaughtered in the street. Full particulars of these transactions may never be known, but already a good deal of light is thrown on the affair from various quarters. We hear from a distance in the country, of ten days' journey, that proclamations were up against Catholics on account of their malpractices; but as the people could not discriminate between Catholic and Protestant, they were advised to take them all to the Yamen for examination.\n\nOn the 24th, the body of a Chinese woman was found in the river; by the ornaments about her neck, she was a Catholic, and believed to have been a teacher in the sisters' school. She was much cut and disfigured; the body was buried with the other six.\n\n26th. This morning, six coffins were sent down from the city, the contents of which, on examination, proved to be the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Chalmaison; of the remaining four, two contained bodies half burnt, one of which had evidently been in the water and had apparently been partially eaten; the second was in much the same horrible state; the remaining two were burnt to a cinder; in one, only the skull and a few bones remained. I forced myself to look upon these six, and hope I may never see...",

The six coffins were placed side by side with the other seven, one large mound covering the whole thirteen coffins. The Chinese who brought them said the four were Sisters; they lay close to the gates, first one, then two, then one; there were also Chinese bodies there which they had instructions not to touch; but there were no other foreign bodies there. \n\n27th.-Word has been sent down to the effect that no more foreign bodies are to be found; thus five sisters are still missing, allowing the four coffins sent to have contained the remains of four of them.\n\nA gentleman who has seen the whole of the bodies has kindly given me the following account of their condition.\n\nM. H. Fontanier.-Head and face cloven to pieces with sword cuts. One spear wound through the chest.\n\nM. Simon.-Head and face covered with sword cuts; body covered with numerous wounds; bowels protruding.\n\nM. Thomassin.-Head and face covered with sword cuts; a few spear wounds on the body.\n\nMadame Thomassin.-A deep sword cut through the back of neck.\n\nM. de Chalmaison.-Left side of the face cut away; eyes scooped out; numerous wounds in the body and extremities.\n\nMadame de Chalmaison.-A deep sword cut across the face, just below the eyes; left arm and side hacked with sword cuts.\n\nFather Cheverier.-Scull cloven in several places; chest and abdomen laid open; bowels protruding.\n\nThe coffins supposed to contain four of the sisters were filled with charred pieces of flesh and bone.\n\nMr Protopopoff, Russian.--Sword cut 5 inches long on the left side of head; a spear wound through the chest, and one on the left hip.\n\nMrs Protopopoff.--Body literally covered with sword cuts and spear wounds.\n\nMr Bassoff, Russian.--Head covered with sword cuts, chest pierced with numerous spear wounds.\n\nMost of the bodies were in an advanced stage of decomposition, having been probably a good deal exposed to the sun on the banks of the river. They were all more or less naked, except Mr Thomassin and wife.\n\nIt is reported that 180 children were brought to the yamên the day of the massacre; 30 children were found smothered in vaults, supposed to be those either of the church, or European Hospital. I consider that between 50 and 60 people must have perished in the sisters' places alone.\n\nAs a proof that the Chinese general knew of the intended attack, it may be mentioned that for several days previously parents had been coming by day and night to take away their children from the schools; so that out of about 450, only about 200 remained on the day of the fire. The 30 who were found smothered must have run into the vaults on the first alarm being given. The shop-keepers about the Sisters' place also had for some days been removing from their shops. The Chifoo or head city magistrate, had posted a proclamation similar to those at Chinkiang and tending to excite the people against the foreigners. H. I. M's. Consul called attention of Chung How to this proclamation on the 18th, three clear days before the outbreak, requesting him to pacify the people as the Chifoo's proceeding were creating great disturbance in the city. On the 20th he again wrote to Chung How, and for the third time, on the morning of the 21st, the Consul addressed an urgent despatch to Chung How, but received no reply to any of his communications.\n\nI have noticed Chung How's statement to the effect that he accompanied M. Fontanier on his way back to the Consulate. At the meeting of the Consuls he stated that M. Fontanier had twice fired on him. Another Mandarin told a foreign resident here that he was one of two who were deputed by Chung How to accompany M. Fontanier to the Consulate, that on the way M. Fontanier said he did not want them, but 200 soldiers to drive away the mob. A disturbance here arose close to the Cathedral and Fontanier and Simon were both killed. The story of Fontanier firing on Chung How looks extremely like a fabrication of the last named 'excellent' gentleman.\n\nThere can be no doubt at all about the connivance of the authorities at this dreadful massacre, for even if it did not originate with them, it was perfectly within their power to put down all display of bad feeling when they were first requested to do so. They did not choose to move a finger in this direction, but treated the urgent appeals of the British Consul with supercilious contempt. No sooner, however, had the atrocious deed been done than the authorities began to awake to a sense of what they had done, and to dread the consequences. This was first shown when they sent down the five coffins containing bodies, and with them three empty coffins. The Mandarin who brought them requested from the British Consul a receipt for bodies, naming the Consul's as one of them. Again on the following day Chung-How sent a special messenger to request a receipt for the six bodies, also mentioning the Consul's as being one of them, the request being of course still refused. Once more the demand was made, and the Mandarin on this occasion received for answer that the body of the Consul which he professed to have brought, had actually been picked up in the river on the previous evening; that it had been recognised by several of the deceased's friends, as well as identified by the initials H. F. on the socks. The Mandarin feebly attempted to maintain that the Consul's body was nevertheless one of the five which he had brought and for which he was ordered to bring back a receipt to Chung-How. It must be remembered that Chung-How had said the Consul was killed by his side, and that he had the body in his keeping.",

It is further agreed that, at the ports of Wen-chow and Wuhu, which are opened to British trade by Articles VI and X, British subjects shall enjoy the same advantages and immunities as they enjoy at the ports already opened to trade.\n\nIt is also understood that, in connection with the pilotage arrangements in Article X, China will take such measures as may be necessary for the lighting, buoying, and policing of the coast, rivers, and ports, and for the conservation of the same, the tonnage dues being charged with the outlay. A general statement of such measures, with the amounts expended, will form a part of the returns made public each year by the Inspector-General.\n\nThe Chinese Government is declared to have complete jurisdiction along its coasts and rivers, and the British Government will insure due respect on the part of British shipmasters and others, to such rules and regulations as shall be formed, necessary for the effective conservance of the ports and rivers open to trade.\n\nThis despatch, supplementing the Convention this day signed by the High Contracting Parties, is addressed on the same day to his Excellency the British Minister.\n\n## Inclosure 4.\n\nM. de Rehfues to Sir R. Alcock.\n\nM. le Ministre et cher Collègue,\n\nPeking, ce 25 Octobre, 1869.\n\nJ'AI reçu la note que vous avez bien voulu m'adresser relativement à la conclusion des négociations pour la révision du Traité de Tien-tsin, et je me suis empressé de la porter à la connaissance de nos collègues. Je vous félicite d'avoir enfin mené à bon port ces négociations laborieuses, et je ne doute pas que mon Gouvernement ne preuve un intérêt vif au résultat; mais avant d'adresser à cet égard un rapport circonstancié à Berlin, il faut attendre, ainsi que vous le comprendrez, le moment où je serais mis à même d'examiner le texte même de la Convention signée le 23 courant entre vous et le Gouvernement Chinois.\n\nSir,\n\n## Inclosure 5.\n\nJe saisis, &c. (Signé) REHFUS.\n\nSir R. Alcock to the Prince of Kung.\n\nPeking, October 6, 1869.\n\nI HAVE been instructed to represent to the Government of His Imperial Majesty the expediency of some relaxation of the rules by which the British merchant is at present prevented from importing salt into China.\n\nThe relaxation contemplated is this: that the Chinese Government allow the British merchants to import into the port of Shanghae a limited number of cargoes of salt, say a cargo per month, or twelve cargoes a year, for the period of five years. An import duty would, of course, be levied on the article, and by means of the foreign collectorate the trade could be put on a satisfactory footing.\n\nIt must be well known to your Highness that a supply of good and cheap salt for the people is a most important consideration, second only, indeed, to that of grain, quantities of which China is glad to receive from foreign countries.\n\nFifteen years ago the import of salt to British India was prohibited, and the salt trade generally in that country was on much the same footing as is that of China. Year after year the restrictions on its import have been gradually removed, and foreign salt is now admitted on payment of a fixed duty like other goods.\n\nThe results have been advantageous to Government and people; the salt revenue in India has doubled; the people can get good salt at a cheap rate; the duty is collected in one payment at the port of entry, so that the salt smuggler has ceased to exist. The labourer who produced the native salt, now produces jute for the English market, rice, and a variety of oil-bearing plants, working for a much higher rate of wages than he did previously, and becoming a producer instead of a consumer of food.\n\nI submit the above consideration to your Imperial Highness, and am satisfied that the experiment suggested will be highly advantageous both to the British salt merchants and to the revenue and people of China, while such an experimental concession would be received with satisfaction by Her Majesty's Government.\n\nI renew, &c.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n(Signed) RUTHERFORD ALCOCK.\n\n## Inclosure 6.\n\nThe Prince of Kung to Sir R. Alcock.\n\n**THE Prince of Kung makes a communication in reply.**\n\nON the 6th instant his Highness received a despatch from the British Minister requesting that, as an experiment during five years, one foreign ship per month - during the year twelve in all - might be permitted to bring a cargo of salt to the Port of Shanghae, the duties to be charged on the article being made the subject of arrangement between the two Powers, &c.\n\nThe Prince has to observe that, with regard to the import of foreign salt, memoranda exchanged while the Treaty was under revision were very explicit as to the impossibility of removing the prohibition; for there is a certain amount of salt produced in China, which is divided into a fixed number of lots; and if in addition to this quantity foreign salt were to be introduced, some of the native article must cease to circulate.\n\nThe amount receivable as duty on the foreign salt would not indemnify the losses of the salt gabelle.\n\nMoreover, the (number of) licensed merchants, the number of licenses issued for each locality, and the quantity of salt saleable under these, is by law prescribed. If the native article ceases to circulate in any district, then the permits issued there are bought to no purpose, and the licenses are subjected to very serious losses.\n\nThere are hundreds of thousands of the population, too, who make their living out of the salt, being either engaged in its manufacture or in its transport. Simple as the people of China are, these would certainly not submit to be, as the British Minister's despatch suggests, turned into cultivators of jute, abandoning a certain means of livelihood for wages in prospective, nor is there any quantity of vacant ground for them to till.\n\nThere is a Treaty provision prohibiting [trade in] salt, and it will be inexpedient to modify the regulations in this respect.\n\nDuring the course of this present year, an Australian merchant was detected bringing a cargo of salt to Tien-tsin. This case was leniently dealt with, by the confiscation of the salt only; the merchant was not punished, as this was his first visit to China, and he was not familiar with the Treaty. But, for the future, clandestine trade in salt by any and every foreign merchant will be punished as the Treaty requires.\n\nForeign salt cannot be put on the same footing as foreign grain, as the despatch under acknowledgment suggests.\n\nAs in duty bound the Prince addresses his Excellency the British Minister. A necessary communication.\n\nPRINTED AT THE FOREIGN OFFICE BY T. HARRISON.-1/1/70.\n\n292",

        "content_text": "808\n\nTHE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\nmeans we do not know. Why it is so we do not know. It behoves the Government to know whether any persons are engaged in introducing a false lead currency, depreciating the coin it has issued, and making endless trouble and anxiety to the masses of the poor people to take effective measures to protect the value of its currency to terrify forgers and prevent the issue of any currency that will destroy its credit and the value of its coin,\n\nThe province of Bahang was originally a Laotian region. During the wars with the Laos the Siamese conquered this region, and eventually placed over it a Siamese governor. It is now regarded as Siamese territory, and is the extreme limit of Siam proper on the north-west. Rahang on the west joins British Burmah; on the north it joins several Laotian provinces that are again subject to Chienguai. Chiengmai is a Laotian province, and is still governed by Laotian princes. His Majesty the King of Siam usually concurs in appointing the successor of any Chiengmai Laotian prince who may have deceased. Persons who may be obnoxious to the laws of Siam often escape to Chiengmai, and while there the Siamese do not usually succeed in gaining possession of their persons. Is Chiengmai a conquered province? Is it tributary to Siam, and to what extent; or is it simply under the protection of Siam, as was Cambodia? All these are questions full of interest.\n\nIt is said that Messrs. Vrooman and Culbertson made the distance from Bangkok to Rahang in twenty-two days. Last week the Rev. Mr. Culbertson returned from Rahiang to Bangkok in four days. This is very rapid travelling by the boats usually employed for such purposes.\n\nBORNEO.\n\nSARAWAK.\n\nWe learn from the Sarawak Gazette that the Qhop Estate and other property of Baroness Coutts, at Lundu, was sold by public auction on the 19th September, realising about $1,500. The house and plantations at Tanah Puteh were bought for $800 by Ken What, a Chinese merchant in the Bazaar, who intends to present a large piece of ground to his countrymen for a public burying-place, and keep up the house for the accommodation of pleasure seekers from Kuching.\n\nThe steamer Firefly, formerly the yacht belonging to the Honourable the Resident of Sarawak, is to run in the Rejang river, between Sibu, Kanowit, Matu, and Rejang, a run of rather more than one hundred miles.\n\n[Nov. 18, 1872\n\n4. The actual excess of revenue over expenditure for the year 1871 was $151,592.\n\n5. The sub-committee think this Supply Bill may be at once explored.\n\n(Signed)\n\nJ. W. W. BIRCH.\n\nJ. J. GREENSHIELDS.\n\nT. SHELFORD.\n\nThe Government, with a view to the public convenience, has procured a considerable quantity of silver and copper small coin, which the Treasury obligingly issues at par. The Kling money-changers, however, are turning this to account, by drawing coin from the Treasury, for which they charge 2 per cent. on issuing it in the square and elsewhere, persistently refusing to abate a single pie, on the ground that small change is very scarce. Even Chinese shopkeepers demand 1 per cent. It would be a boon to every chief if a plan were devised whereby this annoying imposition might be avoided.\n\nThe state of affairs in Deli is thus sketched in the Batavia Handelsblad. The reports as to how matters stand in Deli are far from favourable. The troops suffer much from sickness, above all from fevers, and as we have said before from diarrhoea and swollen feet. If the Hill Battas make common cause with the enemy, the situation will become an untenable one. As to the bentings, we are informed that they call forth admiration as well by their position as by their plan and strength. Without suspecting it, one finds one's self sometimes suddenly opposite a benting barely fifty paces off. These bentings are so built that grenades scarcely do any harm; by means of a thick bamboo covering, they have been made shell-proof. It will be seen that our brave troops have a hard task before them.\n\nA writer in the Straits Times says: In the eighth paragraph of the Governor's Minute on the sale of the land in connection with the building and repairing of the markets, laid before the Legislative Council on Sept. 26 last, his Excellency reports that at Malacca about 8,000 square feet of land near the Tron Bridge had been sold for $5,000, which sum is to be appropriated for the erection of a commodious market; I was at the spot very shortly after the sale, and was surprised to learn that a plot of land, containing, in my opinion, more than 8,000 square feet, adjoining the plot sold by Sir Harry Ord, had been given to a rich Chinese at Malacca by the Government for his sole use and benefit. The fortunate recipient of this noble gift has erected a block of substantial shops on the site, which is likely to yield a rental of $90 per mensem at least. It appears to me very desirable that the public should be informed upon what grounds such valuable public property has been given to a private individual. A commission is needed to inquire into, and report fully upon, the whole of the circumstances connected with this singular transaction, for which Sir Harry Ord is not responsible--the gift having been made, I believe, under the auspices of Capt. Shaw, the Lieut.-Governor, and Colonel Anson whilst officiating as Governor.\n\nWe cull the following items of News from the Penang Argus: Mr. Baumgarten, the Registrar of the Supreme Court here, is about to retire on a pension, and is to be succeeded by Mr. Bradford from Penang, Mr. Harvey taking the latter's post. Colonel Anson will be back from home by February next. The Government have extended the term of service in the Straits to enable him to carry out the Judicial changes which are forthcoming. Recent failures in Singapore tot up to $700,000, the Chetties suffering to the extent of $450,000.\n\nThe Sarawak Sugar Company's creditors have held a meeting in the Court House, when a first and final dividend of 0 per cent. was declared.\n\nThe Government advertise that the coal seams of Simonjan in the Sudong river and Silantek in the Batang Lapar, about four to five feet thick, may be worked by an individual or company on a payment of ten cents per ton brought to grass. The Simunjan seams are about 34 miles from a navigable river, and the Silantek seams are close to a small stream navigable for boats only, and about twelve miles from a large navigable river. The Governor has applied for a further extension of his offer. The Government offers a free passage by the S.S. Royalist from and back to Singapore to any person desirous of examining the seams.\n\nGovernment proposes to erect suitable building for a Sanatarium on one of the minor peaks of the Matang mountain, if there is any prospect of invalids availing themselves of such a locality. Dr. Houghton specifies the following advantages:-A S.E. aspect, temperature ranging from 66 deg. to 88 deg., abundance of excellent water, perfect accessibility from Kuching by water, a magnificent view over Sarawak, Lundu, Sudong, &c., and a gentle ascent from the foot of the mountain, admitting of invalids being carried up in chairs by coolies, always obtainable from the Rajah's Coffee plantation, through which the road passes.\n\nSTRAITS SETTLEMENTS.\n\nSINGAPORE.\n\nThe dates by this mail extend to the 13th Oct. No later mail had been received from London.\n\nCommercial Report.\n\n(For dates see first page.)\n\nIMPORTS.\n\nYOKOHAMA. There had been a good demand for Grey Shirtings and prices showed an improvement; sales had been on a good scale, and the market at the close was firm, especially for the heavier weights. Cotton Yarn had not met with so much inquiry, and prices were scarcely so high as those last quoted. Mousselines were lower, and with the exception of Black Velvets and Lastings, which were in good demand, there had been no particular change in other Woollen fabrics. Quotations:-Grey Shirtings, 7 lbs., $2.30 to 2.35 per piece; 8 to 8 lbs., $2.62 to 2.57; 9 lbs., $2.95 to 3. Cotton Yarn, No. 18 to 24, $40.50 to 42 per picul; Nos. 28 to 32, $47.25 to 48.25; Nos. 38 to 42, $45 to 48.\n\nHIOGO-OSAKA. Cotton Yarn: A fair amount of business had been done, and a good demand continued for Nos. 28/32. Nos. 1/24 were saleable, but owing to heavy stocks, prices were weak. Nos. 38/42 neglected. Grey Shirtings: The market showed some weakness during part of the month, and prices declined about 2c. per piece; they had since recovered, however, and closed firm. Taffachelas, Turkey Reds, and Velvets, in good demand; other Cottons more or less neglected.\n\nThe sub-committee appointed to consider the Second Supplementary Supply Bill for 1871, having examined the statements framed by the Auditor-General and published in the Blue-book of 1871, and which are separately laid before Council to-day, beg to report as follows:-\n\n1. This Supply Bill appears necessary to cover the only expenditure which exceeds the items provided for in the estimates and supplementary estimates of 1871.\n\n2. The sub-committee desire, however, to call the attention of the Council to the fact that the revenue for 1871 showed a net increase over that of 1870 of $26,055, and the expenditure a net decrease of $5,264.\n\n3. The actual revenue, as compared with the estimates for the year, showed an excess of $40,111—and while the expenditure was estimated at $1,870,006, it proved to be only $1,244,111, thus showing a net saving of $121,895.\n\nTo some extent\n\n204\n\n809\n\nwhich, with a sprinkling of Fychows, turned the bulk of the settlements. Only two or three chops of Pingsang had found buyers. The market remained quiet but firm.\n\nFoochow-Business during the week had been on a moderate scale and there had been no alteration in prices. No transactions had taken place in Oolongs. Congou: Settlements 12,732 chests at Tls. 5 to Tls. 20. The bulk of the transactions had been in Teas costing between Tls. 15 to Tls. 18, and the greater part was intended for the Continent. Settlements for England had been small. Arrivals, 18,750 chests. Souchong: 1,075 chests taken at Tls. 15% to Tls. 27. Arrivals, 700 chests. Oolongs: Owing to the continued firmness of holders no transactions had taken place. Arrivals, 4,950 half-chests. Scented Teas Settlements, 1,470 boxes at Tls. 17 to Tls. 20.4. Arrivals, 2,000 boxes. Flowery Pekoes: Settled 86 chests at Tls. 27. Arrivals, 150 chests.\n\nTIENTSIN. There had been a slight improvement at this port, not only were the waters on the plains no higher, but the dealers had made some small profit on their late purchases of Drills, Jeans, and common T-Cloths. Black Lastings and Velvets had been in some request, but Grey and White Shirtings were dull of sale, and rates unremunerative.\n\nHANKOW. Settling day had passed satisfactorily, but the subsequent improved demand previously looked for had not been realised. Holders were disposed to accept lower rates for all Cotton Goods. Of Woollens: Camlets was the only fabric wanted, but this article was scarce and H.D.B., of good assortment, had been placed at Tls. 16.40 per piece, to extent of 300 pieces. Lead: L.B. was quoted Tls. 1.60 to 4.65 per picul, but business had been very slack.\n\nSHANGHAI. The enquiry for Plain Cottons had continued, but the result, so far, had been unimportant, and had fallen far short of the business usually passing at this season of the year. Buyers had been deterred from operating in Shirtings and T-Cloths at all events as freely as they wished, by the quantities of goods forced upon them, and the consequent declining tendency of prices.\n\nGrey Shirtings: 7-lb. Grey Shirtings in fair demand and scarce, 8lbs. in good enquiry but easier; 7 lbs. Tls. 1.65 to 1.67; 8 lbs. Tls. 1.77 to 1.79 for Mildews; and Tls. 1.78 to 1.88 for sound common to best ordinary; Dewhurst's Eagle chop, Tls. 1.88. White Shirtings: 66-reed, Tls. 2.00; 60-reed, Tls. 1.80; lowest counts, Tls. 1.50. T-Cloths: Fair sales, but anxiety to realise had caused a further fall in value. Common 6 lb. Tls. 1.13 to 1.15; Dewhurst's T. quality Tls. 1.32; Mexican qualities, Tls. 1.45 to 1.52. A sale of 8lbs. Dewhurst's M.T., Tls. 1.72. Drills and Jeans: Both commanded a ready market at quotations; 13 lbs. to 15 lbs. Dutch and English Drills, Tls. 3.2 to 3.15; Jeans, Tls. 2.5 to 2.12 for English, Tls. 2.27 for 8 lbs. Dutch. Fancy Cottons: Chintzes, assorted, Tls. 1.41 to 1.60; Gentian Shirtings, Tls. 2.60; best Turkey Reds, Woollens: Tls. 2.60 per piece; other articles altogether neglected. Market dull; Camlets, Tls. 16 to 15. Other goods had received no notice. Metals: Scarcely anything doing.\n\nHONG KONG. The demand for Raw Cotton had strengthened with the approach of cool weather, and fair sales were being made at slightly better prices. Yarns were very little inquired for, and Nos. 16/24 and 28/32 could only be placed at lower rates. Drills only were in demand, and these were wanted at better values. In Woollens, Blankets had declined. All kinds of tin were slow of sale. Tin Plates were $1 per box lower. Quicksilver was steady. Rice had been in some demand for shipment to Swatow, but at the close the market was quiet at former quotations.\n\nFoochow. Sales had been effected of 1,000 pieces 8 lbs. Grey Shirtings at $2.77; 2,500 pieces 7 lbs. T-Cloths at $2.05 to 2.85; and 400 pieces 8 lbs. T-Cloths at $3.75.\n\nSAIGON. Although stocks were rather moderate, sales, with the exception of 6 lbs. T-Cloth could only be effected at reduced rates. Quotations: 8 lbs. Grey Shirtings, $2.62 per piece; 7 lbs., $2.20; 6 lbs. T-Cloth, $1.70; 5 lbs., $1.42; 4 lbs., $1.25; 4 lbs., $1.10.\n\nEXPORTS.\n\nTEA.\n\nYOKOHAMA. The amount of business done had about been on a par with that previously noted; settlements, chiefly of the medium grades, amounted to about 8,000 piculs, and had been made at gradually advancing prices, the market closing at fully $2 to 3 over last quotations for all except the finer grades, which remained as last stated. The quality had been fair; there was still a marked absence of common leaf, anything below medium being of very inferior quality. Supplies had been meagre, and stocks were reduced. The export had been as follows: Per P.M.S.S. Co.'s steamer China, to New York, 189,010 lbs.; to Chicago, 42,065 lbs.; to Boston, 6,100 lbs.; to San Francisco, 100,934 lbs.; per Emulation, for New York, 500,795 lbs.; per Etta Loring, for New York, 206,761 lbs.; per Leander, for New York, 707,702 lbs.; per Emma Augusta, for San Francisco, about 200,000 lbs.; and per Ceylon, for New York, 445,000 lbs. Including these two latter cargoes and that of the outgoing steamer, the export would be nearly two million pounds in excess of that of last season at the same date. Quotations:-Common, $5 to 28 per picul; good common, $20 to 31; medium $33 to 36; good medium, $37 to 40; fine, $41 to 43; finest, $44 to 47; choice, $50 and upwards.\n\nHIOGO-OSAKA A fairly active business had been transacted. Prices at the commencement of the month to within a few days of the close were easier, but owing to large purchases having been made, a hardening tendency was apparent at the close for all grades. Low grades were still scarce and dear. Settlements for the month from 15th Aug- were returned at 5,500 piculs, making a total of 26,000 piculs for the season, against 16,000 piculs for the corresponding period last year. Stocks were estimated at 5,000 piculs. The Caller On was loading for New York, and the Engelbert would take about 75 tons to San Francisco. The Jessie Isabel was about to sail for New York, with 293,064 lbs. Quotations Common, $16 to 20 per picul; good common, $21 to 25; medium, $26 to 30; good medium, $31 to 35; fine, $36 to 40; finest, $42 to 46; choice, $48 to 53; choicest, $54 and upwards.\n\nHANKOW. More business and a general advance of Tls. 1 per picul was reported. Settlements and reshipments for the week about 11,000 chests, Stock 3,300 packages, against about 1,400 last year.\n\nExport to date 51,000,000 lbs., against 53,000,000 lbs. last year at same time. Exchange, 6 m.s. Credit paper had advanced to 8.5 per tael, and the rates on Shanghai had risen to 3 per cent. for sight drafts and 3¾ per cent. for 10 days' paper.\n\nSHANGHAI. Black: The business in Congous had been unimportant, but former rates had been fairly supported by the extreme firmness of holders. Settlements for the week, 5,489 chests, at Tls. 14.50 to 30 per picul; stock, 29,120 chests, Green: No feature worthy of any special comment had presented itself; a little more had been done since exchange weakened. Attention had chiefly been turned to Moyanes.\n\nAMOY. Only about 1,000 half-chests of Ooloongs had been settled, and buyers were not operating owing to the uncertainty about the course of the exchange market. Tea-men were anxious to sell, but would not make a sufficient concession to counterbalance the advance in exchange. The steamship Teviot had sailed for New York with about 3,000 half-chests Amoy Ooloongs; the steamship Surprise was expected, and the Anglo-Saxon was the only vessel on the berth for that destination. Arrivals of Ooloongs to date, 174,916 half-chests: settlements 158,813, and stock 16,103 half-chests.\n\nCANTON. There had been but little inquiry for any descriptions, and the market had continued very quiet.\n\nSILK.\n\nYOKOHAMA. The market had continued to be fairly active, and a good business had been done, settlements amounting to about 1,800 bales, Hanks sorts as usual forming the bulk. Prices for both Hanks and Oshus (with the exception of Hamatskis which showed a still further decline) had advanced about $20 per picul. Quotations:-Hanks, Mybash and Sinchu, extra 32s. 6d., best 30s. 3¼d. to 31s. 0d., medium 28s. to 29s. 6d., inferior 24s. 6d. to 27s. 3d.; Oshu, extra 32s. 6d., best 31s. 6d. to 31s. 3d., medium 28s. 9d. to 29s. 10d., inferior 27s. 3d. to 28s.; Hamatski, medium 26s. 6d. to 27s. 6d.; Coshu, best 28s. 0d., medium 24s. 3d. to 26s. 7. Silk Worms' Eggs: Total arrivals to date about 750,000 cards, and settlements estimated at 450,900 cards; prices for green annuals quoted as follows- Best $8 to 9.75 per candil, good $2.50 to 3, medium $2 to 2.50, inferior $1.75 to 2; white annuals were worth $3 to 3.90 per card.\n\nSHANGHAI. At the close of last mail a considerable business was done, and buying had continued, partly stimulated by a lower exchange, and about 1,700 bales had found buyers at prices varying very little from those given in our last report. Good Silk had been steady and in fair demand, while common descriptions were neglected and declining. Tsatlee Market nearly cleared of Chop Silk, as also of good medium sorts, and in some instances contracts had been made for delivery of these latter for next mail. Hangchow: Sellers of medium at Tls. 400 to 465, but no buyers. Hainings: In consequence of the absence of demand for Raw Hainings last season, the bulk of the crop had this year been re-reeled. Export of Raw Haining little over 200 bales Stock of 1,100 bales last year, and holders of good Silks very firm. 250 bales included 100 bales of Fatmow's chop, which were held for Tls. 520 for No. 9 Taysaam: No settlements of Kaling reported. No. 3 to 3 Chincum bought at Tls. 400, Shaouhing at Tls. 380, and ordinary Laeyang at Tls. 345. Re-reeled: Fair Haining Tls. 500 to 570, medium offering at Tls. 510 to 550, Tsatlee still in over-supply, and prices weak.\n\nCANTON. Little or no change had taken place, and inactivity had prevailed. Prices were slightly easier, but no actual reduction had been made. The fifth crop, which continued to arrive, was of very poor quality--flabby but dry. The sixth crop, it was reported, will be no larger than the fifth, cold winds, which had come earlier than usual, having damaged the mulberry trees. The high rate of exchange and discouraging news from home still kept buyers out of the market, and in consequence the settlements were very small--under 50 bales; the present mail would, however, take forward some 300 bales of previous settlements. Stock, 2,000 bales Tsatlee, and with the sixth Crop and remainder of the fifth at least 3,500 bales more would be offered on the market this season. Several contracts for Rereels had been entered into, but for cargo ready for shipment there was no demand; some dealers were keeping back their stocks on the strength of the inferiority of the crops to arrive.\n\nThe Messageries Maritimes Co's steamer Pello, with the present inward French mail, arrived at Marseilles on the 12th inst. at eight A.M. She brings 68 passengers, 1,014 bales of silk, 1,912 packages tea, 309 packages copper, 1,868 bales tobacco, and 340 packages sundries for London. The cargo will be forwarded to London by the Company's steamer Copernic, and may be expected here about the 26th inst.\n\nBIRTHS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS.\n\nBIRTHS.\n\nALLEN-On the 10th Nov, at Singapore, Straits Settlements, the wife of Willworth Allen, Esq., of a daughter.\n\nBADGE-On the 20th Sept., at Hiogo, the wife of G.

Crs. suggest an explanation of his meaning and they submit that his interpretation of the law is erroneous\n\nI would point out that sec XIII of the draft Hong Kong Ordinance in 2003 (which is under reference to the For: Off:) confers upon\n\nthe Governor\n\npowers\n\nsimilar\n\nto what the Att. Gen. contends\n\nunder the abovementioned Act\n\nThe E. Crs. submit that sec XVII\n\nof the draft\n\nordinance was ultra vires in so far as it extended to foreign vessels This point has been referred to the FO with the concurrence of Mal Lord Kimberley we view with much reluctance the exclusion of foreign vessels from the operation of sec XIII.\n\n122/3\n\nIt would be idle to follow Mr\n\nHeugh\n\nMINUTE PAPER.\n\nthrough that part of his argument in which he renews his old proposal to prohibit Chinese Emigration altogether. If we thought it right to try to prevent Chinese from emigrating we could not do it. they\n\nare determined to emigrate if they\n\ncan and if they\n\ncannot be properly cared for they\n\nwill\n\ngo to other places under bad conditions\n\nPolynesia,\n\nWhat we have\n\nto do is to help\n\nthem to emigrate under favourable conditions.\n\nthe question then is how to prevent abuses\n\nin\n\nemigration which we desire to encourage. As far as British vessels and British Colonies are concerned\n\nwe can prevent ships leaving in contravention to such rules as\n\nwe like to lay down, by local ordinances. But Mr Secley's letter & Mr Laurence's opinion seem to indicate that this is not enough, and that we must follow British subjects to places in China\n\nand elsewhere (perhaps\n\nPeru) and it looks as\n\nif\n\nan\n\nImperial Act\n\nis necessary for this purpose.\n\nIt is to be regretted that the kidnapping Act 1872\n\nwas not made wide enough to cover\n\nkidnapping\n\nin any part of the world.

In Exchange the bias for the mail has been small; rates are finally higher; Bank bills 1/4% to 1-9/17, and telegraphic transfers 7-11 to 7-13/16. On Bombay bills we are ruling at 1/8 per cent discount on demand, and 1/4 per cent at 30 days' sight. On China a small business has been done at 205/8 to 206/8 for 30 days sight.\n\nFreights have been ruling quiet during the fortnight, and there is no special change to report. There has been a full supply of steam tonnage on the berth, and as a result light freights have been rather easier. By the Cape round freights business is doing at former quotations and there are not many vessels offering. The enquiry for the United States is languid, but there has been some demand for steam to Bombay.\n\nCHARTERS.\n\nFor Penang--\"Corabuta,\" arrived on the 8th instant, we previously chartered in England so much cargo; for Brudeaturwa\" 1,845 tons, was at £3-12-6.

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.

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.

        "content_text": "# The Daily Press. HONGKONG, OCTOBER 6TH, 1874.\n\n## AUDI ALTERAM PARTEM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE \"DAILY PRESS.\"\n\nSir,--It is melancholy to find intelligent men in treating of the terrible visitation we have just been subjected to ignoring reason and the evidence of their own senses through the miserable spirit of faction, for such I call the feeling which animates those who are attempting to hound down Mr. Deane, and make him a victim for the shortcomings of others. I have read the two letters in your paper of to-day, the one headed, \"Alteram Partem No. 2\" and signed \"More Fair Play,\" the other \"The Typhoon Scandal\" and signed \"Citizen,\" and I feel bound to say that two more flimsy, flippant, and illogical effusions I have never met with.\n\n\"More Fair Play,\" in reference to my first letter, expresses himself in doubt as to whether I wrote in fun or earnest. This writer's idea of \"fun\" seems peculiar, though indeed I do not believe any such doubt as he expresses ever entered his mind. He characterizes my letter as \"thoughtless,\" because he thinks I can only have written at random, and considers he has made a great point, in showing up what he no doubt thinks an inconsistency. Quoting from my letter he says, \"During the night of the typhoon a great portion of the Police Force was on night duty, and had to be relieved in due course. Here comes the triumphant point of this sage, which will utterly crash the writer and ring the death knell of poor Mr. Deane. Now,\" says he, \"if it was safe for policemen to be sent out as relief, there could have been no danger in sending them out to save life or extinguish a fire?\"--Sir, if your correspondent had read aright my letter, which, \"thoughtless\" as he calls it, was at least intelligible and plain, he must have seen that the main reason I adduced for not sending out a party to assist in saving life from shipwreck, was that a more paramount and necessary duty had shortly to be performed by them, namely, the relief of those who were then present on night duty. Those men, who must have been drenched and worn, and perhaps severely hurt from the falling tiles and debris, must have been relieved by fresh men, for it was absolutely necessary that this large straggling city, running as it is along the face of the harbor from three or four miles, should not be left on such a night without police, yet such must have been the case had Mr. Deane diverted the force at his command to the assistance of the debay and the other wrecks.\n\nAs to Mr. Deane's refusal to ring the fire bell, I think he did quite right in not doing so. It is now made clear that when asked to have it rung, he knew that sufficient aid was at hand, and that there was no necessity whatever for doing so. Why add to the horrors of that dreadful night by sounding a needless alarm of fire and helping to create a dangerous panic! \"More Fair Play\" would have the fire bell rung at any rate; just like the man who, having purchased a watering machine, persisted in using it, though Heaven was sending upon his garden bountiful showers. It really seems to me that \"More Fair Play,\" in his anxiety to cast blame upon Mr. Deane, would have written more cheerfully, if we had had a little of that \"bloodshed and plundering\" upon which he so flippantly writes, which happily for us we have not been visited with.\n\n\"Citizen,\" your other correspondent, takes a different view of my letter and unintentionally helps to prove the case I have successfully made out for Mr. Deane. My argument is, he states, that because Macao with its miserable scrofulous crews of Eurasians or something similar, was looted on the Typhoon night, that Hong Kong with its plucky and stalwart inhabitants ran the risk of being similarly treated, had not Mr. Deane acted as he did and confined his force up in the barracks. Now, Sir, what right has \"Citizen\" to insult the respectable Portuguese inhabitants of Hongkong and Macao in this manner? Many of them may be Eurasians but that is no disgrace. Take them all in all, the Portuguese are very good specimens of humanity. They have, I feel assured, as much \"pluck\" as Europeans. Macao until this unfortunate Typhoon was one of the best policed cities in the East. Life and property there were secure, but on that trying occasion, from a variety of causes, it is pretty clear the police broke down, and so there was looting, incendiarism, and bloodshed. The conduct of the police, the military and citizens since then deserve all praise. I should like to know where this person, who styles himself \"Citizen,\" was on that night. Sure I am that he was not one of the gallant five who risked their own lives so bravely in rescuing so many persons from the Albay - allude to Messrs. MacEwen, Baird, the Brothers Taufer and Lieut. Prior. Sure I am also that he was not one of the heroic band that turned out with Mr. J. McLeod to extinguish the fire.\n\n\"Unquestionably,\" continues \"Citizen,\" \"there was a great deal of petty plunder going on, which it is to the disgrace of the police that it was allowed, but even on the typhoon night there were sufficient young and able Europeans in the street to have rendered an attack on any one of the Banks a most hopeless proceeding.\" Now is this latter statement true or not? If true, how comes it that in the most central and conspicuous parts of the town, namely, on the Praya, before Douglas Lapraik & Co.'s wharf, where an appalling shipwreck was taking place, and the cries of the sufferers heard above the howling of the storm, there were only the five chivalrous young men referred to available to render aid to the sufferers, those five not being stray inhabitants, but living right opposite to the scene of the calamity. It is not true that there were many young and able Europeans in the street at this time. When the typhoon became really severe they were in their beds, scattered all over the Colony. Had they been in the streets, as \"Citizen\" states, there would have been no need for Mr. MacEwen to have craved the aid he is said to have sought from Mr. Lesne.\n\nThe more I have read and seen of this unfortunate typhoon, the more satisfied I am that Captain Deane's conduct has been blameless, and that he deserves thanks rather than condemnation. That \"petty plunder\" which \"Citizen\" admits took place, shows that if it was not for the perfect police arrangements made there would have been a great deal of serious plunder, and the public owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Deane and the officers and men under his command for their admirable conduct during the terrible typhoon we have been visited with.\n\n\"Citizen\" again asks \"More Fair Play\" even with his great admiration for Mr. Deane explain why he turned out at 2.50 a.m. when he would not turn out at 1 a.m. \"Why what miserable bosh is this? If his common sense cannot answer this question let him write a note to Mr. Deane, and I am sure that gentleman will enlighten him.\n\nTo wind up \"Citizen\" declares \"that from the whole tone of 'Fair Play's' letter he feels confident he does not hail from the British Isles although he claims them as 'home.'\" When Martin Chuzzlewit was on his way to the City of Eden he fell in with a Mrs. Major Homing, who asked him \"where did he hail from?\" Martin was obliged to plead ignorance of the question, when the lady commiserating his ignorance descended to the level of his poor intelligence, and asked again \"where was he born?\" Now to re-assure \"Citizen\" on the question of my nationality, although I cannot for the life of me see how it affects the questions at issue, I can tell him that had I been in Martin's place I could have given quite as satisfactory a reply as he did. I am a true Briton, and being such must assure \"Citizen\" that I would rather cut off my right hand, than use it to prostitute my pen to hound down and persecute an honourable, innocent, and deserving fellow-countryman, as he and a few others, who may be called the \"Stormy Petrels\" of the occasion, are doing. But how about your own nationality, Mr. \"Citizen;\" your language is certainly more transatlantic than European; America is a fine country, but too often one finds a mixture of races there. I trust you are pure Caucasian. I have not much prejudice against the Asiatic, but I am weak enough to dislike the African. We must draw the line somewhere, and I do so at Niggers.*\n\nIn proof of my alien origin \"Citizen\" declares that I write in complete ignorance of home Custom when I throw the odium of incompetence upon the military authorities, who require to be called upon by the civil authorities in all cases, and they cannot act without their requisition. And he positively declares that the military received no notice whatever, and then he states that it is said Colonel Smith is highly indignant at the way things were managed, and has said he would have turned out...\n\nPage 337",

(Séance du 1 août 1874.) \n\n**PORT** fait au nom de la commission (1) chargée d'examiner le projet de loi portant probation d'un traité conclu à Saigon, le 15 mars 1874, entre la France et le royaume d'Annam, par M. l'amiral Jaurès, membre de l'Assemblée nationale.\n\nMessieurs, il y a près d'un siècle qu'un projet de traité d'alliance entre la France et le royaume d'Annam fut signé à Versailles, par le ministre de Montmorin, au nom du roi Louis XVI, par l'illustre évêque d'Adran au nom de l'héritier légitime du royaume d'Annam. Par ce traité, qui porte la date du 28 novembre 1787, la France s'engageait à fournir au souverain annamite, pour l'aider à triompher des rebelles qui l'avaient dépossédé de ses États, un corps de troupes avec un matériel de guerre.\n\nDe son côté, le roi de Cochinchine cédait à la France, en toute propriété comme en souveraineté, la presqu'île de Touranne et l'île de Poulo-Condore; nous étions autorisés à créer dans le port de Touranne, qui devait appartenir concurremment aux deux puissances, les établissements jugés nécessaires, tant à notre navigation qu'à notre commerce, qu'à la réparation et à la construction de nos bâtiments; nous devions jouir d'une liberté absolue d'échange et de circulation dans tout le pays, à l'exclusion des autres peuples; les intérêts de notre religion étaient enfin sauvegardés.\n\nLe traité ne reçut qu'une exécution partielle, car nous n'envoyâmes pas de corps de troupes, et nous ne prîmes pas possession de la presqu'île de Touranne; mais, cependant, grâce au concours de quelques officiers français, MM. Chaigneau, Vannier, Ollivier et Dayot, dont les noms sont si populaires dans le pays, l'évêque d'Adran organisa quelques troupes solides avec lesquelles le roi de Cochinchine parvint à vaincre les rebelles et à restaurer sa dynastie.\n\nDès lors, l'influence de la France fut prépondérante en Cochinchine, et le christianisme y fit de plus rapides progrès.\n\nMalheureusement, à la mort du roi Gia-Long, en 1820, l'influence hostile aux étrangers prévalut; nos officiers furent obligés d'abandonner, en 1823, un pays où ils avaient exécuté les plus remarquables travaux d'art militaire, et les persécutions contre les chrétiens, suspendues sous Gia-Long, se ranimèrent pour se prolonger jusqu'en 1862.\n\nEnfin, en mars 1862, l'amiral Bonnard ajoutait à nos possessions la province de Bien-Hoa.\n\nLe 5 juin 1862, la cour de Hué acceptait un traité en vertu duquel les trois provinces occupées étaient abandonnées à la France, ainsi qu'une indemnité de guerre de 4 millions de piastres (1). Une partie de cette indemnité fut payée à l'Espagne, les troupes espagnoles qui avaient opéré avec nous évacuèrent la Basse-Cochinchine, et la France se trouva en possession d'une nouvelle et grande colonie.\n\nCependant trois provinces de la Basse-Cochinchine restaient encore sous la domination du roi Tu-Duc; séparées du royaume d'Annam par nos provinces, elles ne tardèrent pas à devenir le refuge des malfaiteurs et un centre d'agitation d'où des tentatives insurrectionnelles furent incessamment dirigées contre nous.\n\nAprès différentes expéditions, sur Go-Cong en 1863, sur Long-Raï en 1864, sur les villes de Gia-Phu et de Gia-Dinh en 1865 et en 1866, l'amiral de la Grandière, qui avait plusieurs fois informé la cour de Hué que si elle ne pouvait pas faire la police des provinces de l'Ouest, il se chargerait lui-même d'y rétablir l'ordre, dut se résoudre à occuper définitivement en 1867 les trois provinces de Vinh-Long, de Chaudoc et d'Hatien, qui vinrent s'ajouter à nos possessions.\n\nDans ce nouvel état de choses, une modification au traité de 1862 devenait nécessaire pour régulariser notre situation; des négociations furent entamées et poursuivies avec la cour de Hué en 1868 et en 1869; mais la guerre de 1870 éclata et tout resta en suspens.\n\nAussitôt après la guerre, les négociations furent reprises et le gouvernement annamite annonça qu'il était disposé à envoyer des ambassadeurs en France: ces ambassadeurs arrivèrent effectivement à Saïgon.\n\nL'amiral Dupré, gouverneur général de la Cochinchine, s'efforça alors d'obtenir que les clauses du traité à intervenir fussent débattues et arrêtées à Saïgon, afin d'éviter une perte de temps considérable.\n\nIl ne laissait pas ignorer, en même temps, aux envoyés du roi Tu-Duc, que la souveraineté de l'Annam devait renoncer à toute idée de nous voir abandonner les provinces de l'ouest de la Basse-Cochinchine, dont la possession était indispensable à la tranquillité et à la sécurité de notre colonie; mais il ajoutait que nous étions disposés, par une juste compensation, à faire le sacrifice des sommes considérables qui nous étaient encore dues en exécution du traité de 1862.\n\nUne circonstance fâcheuse, et qui aurait pu avoir les effets les plus déplorables, vint, sur ces entrefaites, rendre le séjour des ambassadeurs à Saïgon obligatoire.\n\nÀ diverses époques, avions-nous essayé de renouer des relations avec la Cochinchine et de protéger nos missionnaires; les tentatives faites par Bougainville en 1825, par le capitaine de frégate Laplace en 1831, par le capitaine de vaisseau Lapierre en 1847, aussi bien que la mission de M. de Montigny en 1852, avaient complétement échoué, et chaque fois, pour ainsi dire, à l'arrivée de nos navires dans la baie de Touranne, l'apparition de notre pavillon semblait être le signal d'un nouveau massacre de chrétiens.\n\nC'est ainsi qu'à la suite du meurtre de Diaz, mis à mort par ordre du roi, à Nam-Dinh, en 1857, sur la simple nouvelle qu'un navire français croisait en vue des côtes de la Cochinchine, la France fut conduite à envoyer dans ces parages une escadre commandée par l'amiral Rigault de Genouilly, qui s'empara de Touranne.\n\nPeu de temps après, par une heureuse inspiration, l'amiral Rigault de Genouilly allait reconnaître s'il ne se trouverait pas dans le Sud un point d'établissement préférable à Touranne, et montant avec la plus grande hardiesse la rivière de Don-Nai, s'emparait de la ville de Saïgon, capitale de la Basse-Cochinchine.\n\nLa guerre de Chine étant survenue sur ces entrefaites, nous abandonnâmes Touranne et nous nous bornâmes à Saïgon qu'un faible détachement gardait.\n\nLe lieutenant de vaisseau Garnier, qui avait enlevé avec 150 hommes la citadelle d'Hanoï défendue par cinq mille hommes et fait prisonnier le grand maréchal blessé; émoi de la cour de Hué, qui demanda des explications à l'amiral Dupré, lequel répondit que nous n'avions fait que déjouer des préparatifs d'attaque contre nous qui venaient d'être faits au Tonkin en conciliation avec la demande même du gouvernement annamite; mort de M. Garnier dans une sortie; envoi du lieutenant de vaisseau Philastre pour mettre fin à une situation fâcheuse de tous points.\n\nTout cela demanderait des développements que ne saurait comporter ce rapport; mais si nous avons rapidement indiqué ces faits, c'est à cause de leur influence sur la conclusion du traité.\n\nEn premier lieu, la volonté fermement exprimée par notre Gouvernement de rester en rapports d'amitié avec le gouvernement annamite et le soin constant pris par l'amiral Dupré de prouver aux ambassadeurs du roi la droiture de nos intentions et la loyauté de nos actes, firent, à n'en pas douter, la plus profonde impression sur l'esprit des ambassadeurs et aussi sans doute sur l'esprit du souverain.\n\nEn outre, par suite de ces événements, le séjour des envoyés annamites à Saïgon s'étant prolongé, il devait arriver infailliblement que ces mandarins, l'un et l'autre d'un mérite supérieur, seraient frappés des avantages que notre civilisation peut donner à un pays.\n\nComment, disait un jour à l'amiral Dupré le premier ambassadeur qui venait de visiter les environs de Saïgon, comment vois-je tant d'habitations où respire l'aisance, tant de petites maisons couvertes en tuiles, là où l'on ne voyait autrefois que des cases couvertes en chaume?\n\n«Deux mots suffiront pour vous l'expliquer, répondit l'amiral: Nous maintenons l'ordre et la justice, et de la protection du travail naît la prospérité.»\n\nLes ambassadeurs ne pouvaient manquer d'attirer l'attention du roi sur les progrès de notre colonisation et sur les bienfaits qu'elle entraîne pour les habitants de la Basse-Cochinchine; d'autre part, l'état de trouble et de désordre du Tonkin, l'impuissance du gouvernement annamite à réprimer les déprédations des bandes de rebelles chinois, l'affaiblissement chaque jour plus grand de l'autorité souveraine, tout ne devait-il pas rappeler au roi Tu-Duc que son bisaïeul Gia-Long avait dû à une alliance avec la France de voir son autorité rétablie et la tranquillité renaître dans ses États?\n\nQuoi qu'il en soit, après des négociations activement et heureusement poursuivies, un traité a été conclu le 15 mars dernier, et il nous est permis d'espérer aujourd'hui qu'à une ère de trouble et de défiance va succéder une ère d'apaisement, de confiance et d'estime réciproque.\n\nLa portion de territoire qui nous a été concédée est suffisante. La France n'en désire pas d'autre et la nature semble, du reste, avoir tracé elle-même les limites de nos frontières. Ce n'est donc pas un voisin ambitieux que le royaume d'Annam aura désormais près de lui, mais un allié qui sera fidèle à ses engagements et qui, là comme partout, aura à cœur de conserver son renom de noblesse et de générosité.\n\nIl nous reste, après ce rapide historique, à faire ressortir les avantages qu'assure à la France le traité en question.\n\nLa souveraineté pleine et entière de la France sur les six provinces de la Basse-Cochinchine est reconnue par le royaume d'Annam, et cette reconnaissance doit infailliblement donner un nouvel élan à notre colonisation, car l'incertitude qui existait à ce sujet favorisait singulièrement les excitations au désordre et à l'insurrection que quelques agitateurs prêchaient dans les campagnes.\n\nLes populations des trois provinces de l'Ouest, qui pouvaient jusqu'ici se demander si ces contrées resteraient à la France et si elles ne seraient pas persécutées un jour pour s'être attachées à nous, pourront maintenant, rassurées sur l'avenir, se rapprocher de ceux qui leur apportent les bienfaits si éclatants de la civilisation.\n\nAinsi que le dit si bien l'amiral Dupré dans un de ses rapports: «Sans doute, il faudra du temps pour faire la conquête morale d'une population fine et intelligente, capable d'enthousiasme, mobile d'humeur, qui nous observe avec étonnement sans bien comprendre encore où nous voulons la mener; il faudra beaucoup de prudence, de modération et de patience pour ne pas l'effaroucher et pour dissiper sa défiance; il ne faudra toucher qu'avec réserve à sa législation, à ses mœurs, à tout ce qui fait le fond de sa civilisation très-réelle, quoique bien différente de la nôtre; il faudra une inébranlable fermeté dans la répression des désordres: il faudra ne pas appesantir le joug et éviter de demander au pays plus qu'il n'était habitué de donner à ses anciens maîtres. Avec ces précautions, une administration juste et bienveillante arrivera à faire accepter notre souveraineté à la population indigène, qui appréciera...\n\n## Composition de la commission\n\nCette commission est composée de MM. l'amiral de La Roncière Le Noury, président; Cour-Poulard, secrétaire; de Belcastel, le comte Rességuier, Laboulaye, le comte de Kergorlay, le général Martin des Pallières, Warnier, Marne), Callet, l'amiral Jaurès, le comte Desmons de Richemont, Tirard, Bonnet, Fourcand, le comte de Chaudordy.\n\n(1) L'indemnité annamite a été fixée à 4 millions de piastres, payable en dix années, à dater du 5 juin 1862: sur cette indemnité, il n'a été payé que 1,800,000 piastres; il reste dû aujourd'hui 2,200,000 piastres, dont la moitié à l'Espagne. Tout paiement a cessé depuis 1867.",

His duties were to teach English in the forenoon, and Chinese in the afternoon. After the first six months, the numbers declined rapidly. At the end of the year they gradually increased again; but, by August last, the attendance had become almost nominal, and the master resigned in despair. Another monitor was appointed in his place, and the numbers slowly increased; but twelve months more must decide whether the experiment is to be continued or not. It may be that the locality was a bad one for the experiment, but it was the only one which was available at the time; and the result has been so unsatisfactory that, if it is necessary to revert to an ordinary Chinese teacher, it will be some time before a similar experiment is attempted elsewhere. This case shows pretty clearly that native masters trained after our ideas of training are not yet wanted in China. Such a fact may be much to be regretted, but such is the fact nevertheless.\n\n10. The Village Schools which are partly supported by Government have not recently given rise to much difficulty. A few of the masters are still discontented with the way in which the villagers carry out their part of the agreement, but the majority are content to let things remain as they are. The attendance increases very slowly, but it does increase; and that is perhaps as much as can be expected of these schools. Some of them, as the one at Ap-li Chau, maintain a high place in the order of efficiency. Others, as the one at Pok-fú Lam, are in anything but a satisfactory condition.\n\n11. The Central School more than maintained its place in point of numbers, in spite of the many difficulties which had to be encountered during the year from the resignation of two and the serious illness of one of the masters. These difficulties have been satisfactorily overcome. The staff of teachers is complete, and the result of the examinations showed that it is also efficient.\n\n21. The Basel Mission School, which was added to the list last year, has been established for the education of girls whose parents belong to the Mission churches in Hongkong and on the mainland. Girls are boarded at the Mission House, and are thus subject to constant supervision. In addition to instruction in Christianity, they receive through the medium of the Chinese language an ordinary European education during four hours every day, as required by the scheme. After school hours, they are trained in all the branches of ungue is tungest, con guy, including spinning, sewing, knitting, weaving for the discharge of their duties as wives and mothers in the humble homes from which they come, and to which they return on leaving school. Few institutions carry out their aim more effectually and less ostentatiously than the Basel Mission Girls' School.\n\n22. There were 62 scholars in the school last year, and the average daily attendance for that period was 50. On the examination day 42 were presented, in Standards ranging from I to V inclusive. Five out of the number only five failed. The thorough manner in which the work is done may be inferred from the following figures. In reading there were no failures, and in writing (from dictation) only one. In arithmetic there were thirteen failures. Twenty were examined in geography and one failed. History, in Standard V, was not taken, and had to be considered a failure, the Manager not having sufficient confidence in the way in which it had been taught.\n\n23. The results attained in this school are due to the strong teaching power which is employed. In addition to the Chinese Master and his assistant, the Revd. Mr. LOERCHER and Mrs. LOERCHER have their daily duties as teachers during all school hours. It is to them that the school owes its place in the class to which it belongs, and without their superintendence, the present high standard of education and discipline could never have been reached.\n\n12. The hopes entertained last year of the early commencement of a new building were entirely frustrated by the typhoon of September. No complaint can, therefore, be made of the delay. As the school has been but a short time in existence, the Third was the highest Standard tested. As a tacit submission to unforeseen circumstances might imply that the necessity had passed away, consideration of the condition of the present premises will not be out of place.\n\n13. The existing accommodation is limited to bare sitting room for an average of 100 boys, which is as many as can be seated in it. There is thus no means of efficiently working the school. Three or more masters have to teach simultaneously in the same class, whereas, with adequate accommodation, classes could be drafted off into side rooms, which would enable the masters to teach in greater quietness, and therefore with greater efficiency. This makes the result of the year's work all the more creditable.\n\n14. The present building has no unity of design. At first, four rooms of what was originally a dwelling house were converted into two class-rooms by the removal of the folding doors. Next, a class-room was built entirely separate from the main building, and without reference to future necessities. Then, another class-room was built on exactly the same plan. Finally, a third class-room was built between the former ones, but at their expense, as regards ventilation. There remains no space for the building of the additional rooms which are required; and, possibly, it is very fortunate that such is the case.\n\n15. In spite of much that has been done, three of the class-rooms are almost unbearable in summer from want of proper ventilation. They are so shut in by adjoining buildings that ventilating, such as they require, is an impossibility.\n\n16. To put an additional story on the three lower class-rooms is equally impossible, so insecure are the foundations. The north and west walls have sensibly subsided, and the partition wall between two of the rooms is visibly off the plumb. At the same time, it ought to be clearly stated that there is no immediate danger of an accident; but the effects of the earthquake and typhoon of last year, especially the former, quite shook all confidence in the permanent stability of the building. Any strain could not be frequently repeated.\n\n17. Outside the class-room doors and inside the school gates, there is barely standing room for the boys. Two of the upper class-rooms have to be left open during the morning and mid-day intervals for shelter from sun and rain. This prevents these two rooms from ever having the tidy appearance which class-rooms ought to have.\n\n18. Without further detail, it may thus be taken as proved that the present building is inadequate as regards size, insecure as regards its foundations, and unhealthy as regards ventilation. That being so, further discussion of the question is unnecessary.\n\n24. The Victoria Boys' School, having had an average daily attendance of 36, was admitted last year to participation in the grant. Twenty-four were eligible for examination, and, of these, twenty reached. In reading, there was but one failure; in writing, (from dictation), seven; and, in arithmetic, twelve. The nine presented in Standard III all passed in grammar.\n\n25. The examination showed that there had been much painstaking bestowed on the teaching. There are few English boys in the school, and English is therefore a foreign language to most of the scholars. The greatest difficulty the school has to contend with is irregularity of attendance. If the parents of the boys would insist on more regular attendance, the character of the school would rise in proportion to the benefit their children derive from it. It is unfair that a school should be impeded by an obstacle so easily removable. This point deserves the Manager's most careful attention.\n\n26. The same remark applies to St. Saviour's Day School, where out of 115 present during the year, and with an average daily attendance of 68, only 44 qualified themselves by attendance for examination. The Manager reports that many of the children are very poor, and no doubt that is a great obstacle to regularity; but, seeing that the education is free, and that only 200 attendances a year are required, the difficulties in the way would be fewer if parents were more careful. Irregularity, however, is not confined to the children of the very poor, and, in such a case, it is inexcusable. Parents should think of the energy which the teachers are expending in vain, from the want of a little more firmness in the treatment of their children. It is very discouraging to the teachers of such a rare school as this is to have the standard of their qualifications judged by so small a percentage of their labour.\n\n27. The 44 who were examined were ranked from Standard V downwards, the great proportion being in the three lower standards. Eight scholars failed. In reading, grammar, and geography, there were no failures; in writing (from dictation) there were 14, and in arithmetic 17. In this school, English is a foreign language to the great majority of the boys. The difficulties are therefore great enough without their being added to by irregular attendance.\n\n28. The London Mission Schools at Wán-tsui and T'ái-p'ing Shán had a large increase in numbers, more being enrolled in 1873 than in 1874. These two schools are admirably conducted, the only question about them being whether the masters are not overtaxing their strength by teaching so many. The Manager has the matter under consideration, and probably the number will be limited in future to about 60 each, to the benefit both of schools and of scholars.\n\n29. Although more scholars were presented for examination at T'ái-p'ing Shán than at Wán-tsai, the latter is a far superior school to the former, and consequently gained a larger share of the grant. This is not owing to any inferiority in the T'ái-p'ing Shán master, who is perhaps more experienced than the one at Wán-tsai; but, mentally and physically, the scholars at the latter place are superior to those at T'ái-p'ing Shán. There is an air of vigour and comfort among the boys of Wán-tsai, while effects of pinching poverty and neglect are but too visible among those of T'ái-p'ing Shán.\n\n19. The Morrison Scholarship, which was referred to last year as being involved in much difficulty, may now be considered as settled. Details have yet to be arranged, but no question of principle remains, and the school has already enjoyed the benefit of it. When the scheme for its administration is complete, a detailed account of it will be given.\n\n20. The Grant-in-aid schools increased from six to nine, and the number of scholars thereby rose from 442 to 632. One new school was added, and the three Baxter schools, previously classed as one, were in a position to be taken separately. The scheme continues to give satisfaction, and no practical difficulties have arisen in the working of it. The Managers who had grants during the year of its operation speak favourably of the good which has accrued from it to their schools.\n\n30. From these two schools 122 were sent up for examination. Of these, 28 failed. The fact that at neither school was any scholar examined in Standard I shows how well the schools are taught. At Wán-tsai two scholars were examined in Standard VI and both passed. The highest Standard at T'ái-p'ing Shán was the Fifth. Three were examined in it, but two of them failed. The failures in various subjects were:--in reading, 11; in writing, (from dictation), 20; in repetition, 8; in explanation, 11; in composition, 9; and in geography, 7.",

It adds that it was necessary to make the stipulations respecting it absolute as regards Annam, but that as regards foreign nations, it is plain that it was provided as an advantage of which they might avail themselves if they pleased, but which the French Government had never any idea of imposing upon them, and respecting which it intended to enter into explanations with foreign Governments.\n\nObservations of the same kind are made on the stipulations which confer on French agents the right to decide in concert with a native Magistrate disputes between foreigners and the Annamite Custom-houses.\n\nThe note affirms distinctly that other nations have the right to conclude Commercial Treaties with Annam, and to establish, in consequence, Consuls of their own; and it declares that the French Government understands that Foreign Consuls, so soon as they shall be established, will thenceforward have the duty and the care of providing themselves for the protection of their countrymen in Customs' matters as well as in questions of jurisdiction.\n\nThe good offices of France are offered to assist Great Britain in negotiating a Commercial Treaty with Annam.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) LYONS.\n\nM. l'Ambassadeur,\n\nInclosure in No. 86.\n\nM. Buffet to Lord Lyons.\n\nVersailles, le 8 Juillet, 1875. M. LE DUC DECAZES, en quittant Paris, m'a laissé le soin de répondre à la lettre que votre Excellence lui a adressée, en date du 26 Juin, au sujet de certaines stipulations des Traités conclus entre la France et le Royaume d'Annam. Mon collègue vous a déjà fait part verbalement des remarques que cette communication lui a suggérées, et je n'ai moi-même qu'à reproduire ici les explications dans lesquelles il est entré avec vous.\n\nLes observations du Gouvernement Anglais portent principalement sur trois points: les droits de juridiction attribués aux agents Français, en tant qu'ils s'étendraient aux sujets des nations Chrétiennes, le privilège en vertu duquel ces mêmes fonctionnaires seraient provisoirement appelés à prononcer sur les difficultés pouvant survenir entre des étrangers et l'administration des Douanes: enfin, les faveurs stipulées au profit des bâtiments chargés de marchandises provenant ou à destination de Saigon.\n\nLes explications développées, en dernier lieu, par votre Excellence, confirmant le Gouvernement Français dans l'opinion qu'il s'est produite, ainsi que M. le Duc Decazes l'a déclaré, un malentendu sur la portée de quelques-unes des clauses des arrangements intervenus entre la France et l'Annam. Il en est ainsi, notamment pour ce qui concerne les attributions dont les Résidents Français se trouvent éventuellement investis par le Traité Politique à l'égard des étrangers dans les nouveaux ports ouverts à la navigation. En effet, cette disposition a eu pour objet de satisfaire aux nécessités d'une situation temporaire en assurant à tous les étrangers, sans distinction de nationalité, auxquels le territoire de l'Annam est désormais accessible, la protection que l'Administration Annamite serait hors d'état de leur procurer, dans les premiers temps qui suivront la mise à exécution des Traités.\n\nVis-à-vis du Gouvernement Annamite, la clause devrait être absolue, car il s'agissait d'enlever ces étrangers à la juridiction locale; vis-à-vis des Gouvernements étrangers, au contraire, il était de toute évidence qu'elle constituait pour eux un avantage dont il leur serait loisible de profiter, mais qu'il n'entrait pas dans notre pensée de leur imposer; nous nous réservions d'ailleurs d'en faire ultérieurement l'objet d'un échange d'explications avec eux.\n\nC'est ainsi que le Cabinet Français entendait ménager aux négociants étrangers, dans les cas où il leur conviendrait de faire appel à l'intervention de ses Agents aussi bien qu'à l'égard de ses propres nationaux, un recours contre l'inexpérience et l'animosité possibles de certains fonctionnaires Annamites, tant qu'aucune autre Puissance n'aurait encore d'Agent Consulaire dans le royaume d'Annam.\n\n83\n\nOn ne doit pas oublier que si le Gouvernement Annamite s'est engagé à conformer sa politique extérieure à celle de la France et à ne rien changer à ses relations diplomatiques actuelles, cet engagement n'exclut ni la conclusion de Traités de Commerce, ni l'établissement de Consuls étrangers, qui en serait la conséquence naturelle. Rien ne s'oppose, en effet, à ce que le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique ouvre à ce sujet des négociations avec le Royaume d'Annam, s'il juge à propos de le faire, et le Gouvernement Français est même tout disposé à l'aider dans ce but de ses bons offices auprès de la Cour de Hué.\n\nCette stipulation, empreinte d'un esprit évident de libéralisme, ne saurait donc causer aucun ombrage, et nous pouvons ajouter qu'il en est de même de celle qui attribue à l'Agent Français le droit de statuer, de concert avec un Magistrat Annamite, sur les contestations entre les négociants étrangers et la Douane. Il suffira d'une simple observation pour écarter toute incertitude à cet égard. Le Cabinet Français entend bien que les Consuls étrangers, dès qu'ils seront installés, auront la charge et le soin de pourvoir désormais par eux-mêmes à la protection de leurs nationaux dans les matières de Douane aussi bien que dans les questions de juridiction.\n\nEn ce qui concerne la clause relative au port de Saigon, nous devons constater que le Gouvernement de la Reine s'est mépris sur les raisons qui l'ont dictée comme sur la portée qu'il convient d'y donner. Elle est ainsi conçue: \"Les marchandises expédiées de Saigon pour un des ports ouverts de l'Annam ou à destination du Yunnan, en transit par les Tsong-koï, et celles qui sont expédiées de l'un de ces ports ou du Yunnan pour Saigon ne seront soumises qu'à la moitié des droits frappant les marchandises de toute autre provenance ou ayant une autre destination.\"\n\nCe n'est pas à titre gratuit que le Gouvernement Français a réclamé et obtenu ce régime spécial pour sa Colonie de Saigon. Il a dû préalablement renoncer au reliquat des sommes encore dues pour l'ancienne indemnité de guerre et qui ne s'élèvent pas à moins de 5,000,000. Il a dû prendre l'engagement de fournir au Gouvernement Annamite l'appui matériel qui lui est nécessaire pour maintenir chez lui l'ordre et la tranquillité et détruire la piraterie qui désole ses côtes, lui promettre cinq bâtiments de guerre à vapeur, cents canons approvisionnés de deux cents coups et mille fusils à tir rapide: c'est à ce prix que la France acquérait un droit difficile à contester à des compensations temporaires et qui n'atténuent qu'incomplètement l'importance de ses sacrifices. Les tarifs actuels sont établis pour une durée de dix ans; ce laps de temps s'écoulera certainement avant que le Gouvernement Français ne soit rentré dans ses déboursés et le privilège qu'il revendique pour le port de Saigon, pendant ces dix années, n'est qu'un faible dédommagement de la somme considérable qu'il abandonne aux Annamites, du matériel de guerre qu'il met à leur disposition et des dépenses qu'il prend à sa charge.\n\nA l'expiration des tarifs actuels, il y aura lieu d'examiner si l'état de choses qu'ils consacrent doit être maintenu ou abrogé. Mais il est d'autant moins possible, aujourd'hui, de renoncer au bénéfice de ces dispositions, qu'elles ne sont nullement exclusives. Elles seront, en effet, applicables aux bâtiments étrangers comme aux bâtiments nationaux; Saigon est un port franc et il n'est que trop connu que les établissements de commerce Français créés dans ce port ne sont, ni les plus nombreux, ni ceux qui font le trafic le plus étendu.\n\nNous nous plaisons à espérer que ces explications suffiront pour rendre aux Traités conclus avec le Royaume d'Annam leur véritable signification. Le Gouvernement Britannique, mieux éclairé, rendra donc pleine justice à des arrangements qui ouvrent au commerce de toutes les Puissances de nouveaux et précieux débouchés, jusqu'à présent fermés à toutes les tentatives, et que la France n'a pu disputer à la barbarie qu'au prix de longs et cruels sacrifices. Le Gouvernement Français aurait peine à s'expliquer que celle de ces Puissances dont le pavillon occupe la plus grande place dans les mers de l'Inde et de la Chine, et qui est ainsi appelée à profiter le plus largement de cette conquête de la civilisation Européenne, voulût en contester les bienfaits et pût méconnaître l'esprit dont nous avons été animés dans la poursuite de nos efforts.\n\nAgréez, &c.\n\n(Signé) BUFFET, Chargé par intérim du Ministère des Affaires Etrangères.\n\nSC3",

Cette somme est destinée à indemniser la France et l'Espagne de leurs dépenses de guerre. Les 100,000 ligatures déjà payées seront déduites de cette somme.

        "content_text": "# EXPLOSION ON THE “YESSO.' \n## GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.\n\nA gloom was thrown over the town yesterday morning by the occurrence of a terrible accident on the steamer Yesso, Captain S. Ashton, from the Coast Ports. The vessel was being moored alongside Messrs. Douglas Lapraik & Co.'s wharf, between half-past seven and eight o'clock, when a terrible explosion took place, and the forward part of the ship was enshrouded in a dense cloud of steam. The pressure of steam at the time was 14lbs. One of the back plates of the starboard boiler had given way and was blown out. The steam rushed into the Chinese cabin and forecastle, and worked terrible havoc there. Twelve men were killed on the spot, and sixty-four were taken to the Hospital, the injuries of all of them being most serious, and deaths occurred hourly during the day. Many more are expected to die. Several others, who were also much scalded, were taken to the Tung Wah hospital, and others less severely injured went to their homes. One man was taken by his friends into a sampan, where he died in the afternoon. Only one European was hurt, the second engineer, Mr. W. Haggat, who, however, is not very seriously injured. It was a ghastly sight to see the dead and wounded lying about, and crowds soon collected round the steamer and at the doors of the Civil Hospital and the dead house. The wretched victims of the explosion were fearfully disfigured. On the deck of the steamer, the skin from their hands, feet, and legs was to be seen scattered about. Persons who have witnessed many appalling catastrophes were heard to say that they had never witnessed so sickening and distressing a scene before. All the corridors in the Hospital were filled with the wounded, whose piteous cries and groans resounded on all sides, and made up a most distressing scene. As the accommodation in the hospital was insufficient, the European mess-room in the gaol was fitted up as a temporary hospital, and the sufferers were removed there. As soon as the Admiral on board of the accident he signalled for all the men-of-war in port to render medical assistance, which they promptly did. Assistance in removing the bodies and extricating the wounded was afforded by the officers of the ships, the police, and a number of gentlemen who promptly hastened to the scene, and oil was obtained from Messrs. Lane, Crawford's store and freely used on the sufferers. The general cry amongst the scalded was for water. Most of the unfortunate people were in a state of complete helplessness, and several scarcely lived to reach the hospital. The number of Chinese brought down by the Yesso was a hundred and seventy-two. Two old women had the presence of mind to wrap themselves up in their bed clothes, and thereby escaped injury, while many round about them were badly scalded. One Chinese family who were in a cabin between decks had the forethought to shut the door, which kept the steam out, and they escaped unhurt. Numbers of those who were scalded were coolies who, on the steamer arriving at the wharf, rushed on board to obtain a job to carry the luggage for the passengers. The bulkhead on the end of the boiler is partly blown down, and the tea, which was stowed in the forehold, was scattered in all directions in the hold. The steam burst open the hatchway to the between-decks and the skylight on the upper deck. The boiler was built in Hongkong about three years and a half ago. The European passengers brought down by the Yesso were Dr. and Mrs. Rogers, Mr. Doagal, and one European deck passenger.\n\nOne of the fire engines was got out, under the superintendence of Inspector Orley, also the engine from the Hongkong Fire Insurance. The latter one is playing into the fore hatch where there was great heat. The police were actively at work to prevent robbery of the passengers' luggage during the confusion consequent on the disaster, and only one known case occurred. Every possible help was rendered by the naval and civil medical men, and one of the naval surgeons remained to assist the Colonial Surgeon all last night. His Excellency the Governor visited the gaol, the Civil Hospital, the Tung-wah, and the steamer Yesso. He gave orders for relays of attendants at the Gaol and Hospital, and for the relations and friends of the victims to be admitted in detachments of a dozen at a time to see them in order that there should be no crowding. He also, when at the Tung-wah Hospital, gave directions for the place to be properly ventilated, and otherwise looked after the comfort and well-being of the poor creatures.\n\n## THE INQUEST.\n\nThe inquest was opened at the Civil Hospital at four o'clock in the afternoon, by Mr. Russell, Coroner, Messrs. J. A. Moseley, V. L. Meyenberg, and R. H. Radecker being sworn as the jury.\n\nThe Coroner said-I presume you are all aware, gentlemen, of the circumstances under which we meet here to-day. A most unfortunate and sudden catastrophe occurred by the bursting of one of the boilers of the steamship Yesso when she arrived here this morning. Shortly after she came in and while lying alongside the wharf, a plate of the boiler gave way and was thrown off with great violence. The steam went into the hold, burst open the hatches, and burnt to death a great number of people. The return made by the police of the number of people brought up is eighty-nine, and there are now lying in the dead-house here thirty. First the wounded were brought here, but there being no accommodation, they were taken to the European mess-room in the gaol, as many as still survive are now lying. There were sixty there. Eleven have died since, and there are now remaining there, looked after by a number of surgeons, forty-nine. There are two men upstairs living, eight were taken to the Tung-wah Hospital, one of whom has died, and up to the present there are thirty-seven deaths. The whole number of persons accounted for is eighty-nine. At present I have only been able to get four bodies identified, one Malay and three Chinese.\n\nWe will see bodies here, then go to look at the steamship, then to the Tung-wah Hospital, and then we will adjourn until to-morrow. It is a very deplorable thing. Of course we don't know how it occurred, but in the course of the inquiry we will probably find out all about it, and it is perfectly useless to speculate about it now.\n\nThe jury then commenced their painful task of viewing the bodies. They first went to the dead-house in Hollywood-road, where the dead bodies ranged on the floor and on benches, presented a fearful spectacle, the skin hanging from parts of the bodies or being completely stripped off. A still more painful sight was that in the improvised hospital in the gaol, where forty-nine sufferers lay moaning on their beds. All that could be done to make them comfortable had been done, they had had the best medical attendance and their pain had been alleviated to the full extent of surgical skill, but it was heart-rending to hear their groans and observe their fearful sufferings. Most of them appeared unable to move at all, and it is feared that only very few of the poor fellows will survive. It was not only their external wounds they suffered from, but they had inhaled the steam and thus scalded their lungs. Having viewed a dead body here which had not yet been removed to the dead-house, the jury went to the Yesso, where Captain Ashton pointed out how the accident had occurred. The plate was blown out and thrown forward against a beam on the foreside of the bulkhead, which it had broken in the middle. The steam had forced up the hatchway to the between-deck, where about half the Chinese passengers were, and also the skylight on to the main deck. This skylight was thrown a considerable distance in the air. The main deck had been cleared, but the between-deck and hold remained in the same state as they were after the removal of the bodies. There were still lying about the skins of hands and feet, which had come off like gloves. Leaving the ship, the coroner and jury went to the Tung Wah Hospital, where they visited the injured who had been taken there and viewed three dead bodies. From the Tung Wah they proceeded to the Civil Hospital, where they went to see the two men under treatment there, one of whom is a Fat-shan mandarin. The inquiry was then adjourned until ten o'clock this morning.\n\nAt a late hour last night the deaths numbered sixty-two.\n\nPage 420\nPage 421",

        "content_text": "# SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS.\n\nThe opportunity of clearing themselves of the suspicion is well founded; the public must necessarily entertain an opinion that their interests have not been sufficiently vindicated in the inadequate punishment meted out to the culprits. Instant dismissal from the force, supposing the offence to be as grave as we have been led to understand, would not have been too harsh a measure.\n\nThe maintenance of the Cap-shui-moon Customs Station may have some slight excuse, as to a certain extent, but not wholly, it will be found most economical to recruit the force here from the home police, though the immediate outlay is much greater.\n\nWe are pleased to note that, since the affray in Wing Lok Street, measures have been taken to counteract the injurious impression which Mr. Hennessy's acts of lenity to criminals have created in the minds of the dangerous classes. The night pass system is now being enforced; Tam Atak pays the penalty of his dreadful crime this morning; sentry launches are to be hired by Chung Chow, and the Lammas there can be out except with the Water Police, and the Governor has in his minute on the police duties expressed a wish to exercise a close supervision over the police by having weekly reports sent to him.\n\nThe inefficiency of the Chinese police in the passage leads into Chinese waters amply demonstrated. They are, almost without exception, actuated by an exaggerated sense of the value of their own skins, and generally contrive to arrive at the scene of a fray or a burglary when everything is safely over. The Customs stations cannot be considered ports in any sense. The greater portion of smuggling is carried on from the opposite side of the harbour, across the mountain passes, to Mirs Bay and so into the Kwai Shin, Sua On, Wei Chow, and Hoi Fung districts, or after Dr. Atcheson's report on the effects of the knocks being exchanged there the native members of the force are conspicuous by their absence.\n\nThe Chinese contingent has its uses, and there are some members of it who have shown most praiseworthy zeal and courage in the discharge of their duties. For detective purposes, they are invaluable, and they are of great service in apprehending those numerous offenders against the law belonging to the hawker class. But the Chinese lukongs should not be numerically superior to the other contingents, for it is idle to suppose that for general purposes three lukongs are worth one good Sikh. If additions be made to the force, they should not be natives.\n\nA rather novel proposal of opium smugglers to augment the profits of their voyage has been handed to us for publication. This was brought by a respectable-looking West Indian, a British subject, who stated that there were about a dozen of his countrymen in the Colony who would be only too glad to take service in the Police Force. If they be men of good character, we see no reason why they should not be enrolled, for they speak fairly good English, are powerfully built fellows, and would no doubt prove effective guardians of the peace. They would certainly be preferable to any increase of the Chinese force.\n\n## COWARDICE OF CHINESE POLICE.\n\nIt will be remembered in connection with Wing Lok-street affair that the steam launch in which a portion of the pirates made their escape was sighted by two Police boats, and that shots were exchanged with one of them. A statement now reaches us to the effect that the two European constables in the boat fired upon the launch wished to do their duty, ascertain the character of the craft, and, if necessary, to arrest it. The Chinese lukongs, however, who were at the oars, upon the first firing immediately refused to row any farther, although the launch being a slow one, they could have kept up with her and intercepted her retreat. For this gross and cowardly refusal of duty, it is said that the men have been subjected to the paltry penalty of a forfeiture of half their month's wages.\n\n## SOME FACTS ABOUT SMUGGLING.\n\nAs the question of opium smuggling has been revived and an endeavour made to throw odium on the Colony in this matter, it may be as well to say something further on the subject. We have before attempted to show that Mr. Berdon's estimate of the drug smuggled from this port is greatly in excess of the real figure. Unfortunately, there are no returns available which place the matter beyond doubt. Mr. Berdon's figures are merely the result of an estimate, and it is not to be charged at the Police Court that there are no possible doubts that, with less than some half-dozen exceptions, every British and foreign resident in the Colony most fully endorses them.\n\nThe Chinese Authorities are perfectly justified in endeavouring to suppress smuggling in their own waters, but have no right to block our exits to the open main by the Customs Stations which they have established at various points of vantage and the large fleet of cruisers they maintain to worry the trade of Hong-Kong. If their only desire was to prevent smuggling, they would guard Mirs Bay, Deep Bay, and the passes from Chin Wan to the inland districts.\n\nThe Chinese Government has never been reconciled to the cession of this island, and there is only too good ground for believing, as Sir Arthur Kennedy remarked at his farewell banquet, that there are some Englishmen ready to advocate and promote its retrocession. Any encroachment, therefore, by the Chinese on British jurisdiction, or any interference with the trade of the Colony ought to be promptly resisted.\n\n## THE PUBLIC MEETING.\n\nThe public meeting held yesterday, on the requisition of sixty-four leading residents, was never in the history of the Colony has a larger or more influential meeting assembled; never has one been characterised by more thorough unanimity. Nearly every mercantile firm, every store, and every profession was represented. The meeting was marked by the utmost loyalty and the energetic and subtle supporters of the governmental party felt the truth of the proverb when the Chairman adjourned the meeting to the open air, where the circumstances to deserve it, in addition to the punishment already imposed by law.\n\nThe Commission can see no reason why this useful mode of punishment should not be extended indefinitely, and they hesitate to recommend that power should be entrusted to the hands of the resident judge at any Criminal Sessions to order a flogging.\n\nFor His Excellency, which was only to be expected from such an intelligent and orderly assemblage, though it must be admitted that the foreigners occupying the interior of a circle, while the natives remained on its outskirts.\n\nIt is a matter to be deplored that the opponents of the meeting could not but have a salutary deterrent effect. The attempt, however, to thus nullify the objects of the meeting resulted in an utter collapse, as all such unworthy schemes deserve.\n\nThe good temper and moderation of both the foreign and native community were expressed so definitely as to leave no room for doubt as to what they considered the causes which led up to the present deplorable state of affairs.\n\nThe community, both foreign and native, are to be congratulated that this attempt to set one class of the community against another, and thus inaugurate a strife of races, has failed, owing to the shameful and glaringly evident fact that some unscrupulous individuals had influenced the Chinese portion of the community, who were being used for a purpose inimical to their own true interests.\n\n## MR. HAYLLAR AND THE PUNISHMENT OF CRIMINALS.\n\nOf course, branding should be resorted to only in the cases of those men whose career, or the nature of whose crime, makes it evident that no reasonable hope of their reformation can be entertained. It must not be supposed, however, that the effect of fixing a stigma of this kind would be the same here as in England.\n\nWithin the Colony, it might, and in all probability would, deprive the branded man of the chance of honest employment. But there seems no good reason why it should have much weight of any kind on the mainland, except to arouse sympathy with the sufferer from the punishment of crime.\n\nThere are only too many, at any time, within the walls of the gaol, to whom, the Commission believe, it is idle to offer any ingenious panacea. For the most part, such are migratory strangers who only tie to this or any place is the opportunity for plunder. It is not to our laws or mismanagement that these radicals owe their criminal education.\n\nThe expressions contained in this quotation will be heartily endorsed by the community now, as they apply equally well to the state of the Colony at the present moment as they did when first penned by the learned Queen's Counsel, the Hon. T. C. Hayllar, Q.C., who was Chairman of the Police Commission which sat in 1872 and drafted the report.",

        "content_text": "## THE GOVERNOR'S STATISTICS.\n\n### SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS.\n\n## SPOTS OF INTEREST ON THE ADJACENT MAINLAND.\n\n### CHUEN-WAN\n\nCounsel, whose mind is of far too logical a nature, stands first. As was well said by the Hon. W. KESWICK in the Council Chamber some months ago, Hongkong ought not to be made the prison-house of South China. Such, however, it must inevitably become unless steps be taken to keep the Colony free from the habitual criminals from Kwangtung, instead of, by tender treatment and good board and lodging, practically holding out to them an invitation to pay the island periodical visits for purposes of plunder.\n\nThe other pass, known as the Shing-moon pass, leads to the eastward of the great Tai-mo-shan, the lofty mountain peak, by far the highest in the neighbourhood, at the foot of which Chüen-wan is situated, skirts the villages near Castlepeak Bay, passing through Shap-pat-heung, or the eighteen villages, which lie on the Eastern side of Deep Bay; then by the bank of the half canal half creek which gives junk communication between Sam-chun and San-hu, or new market, and thence into the heart of the Tung-koon district to Shok-lung, which communicates with Canton via Kaulung City and the pass beyond to the northward.\n\nThe intending traveller from Hongkong to Sam-chun crosses the harbour by the Yau-mak-tee ferry. From Yau-mah-tee he walks through Kowloon City to Chuen-wan, and sees to recant the opinions thus ably expressed in the report at the foot of which his signature leads to the eastward. We have had new and doubtful experiments tried, while some excellent provisions, the repressive character of which had been proved by the experience of many years, were relaxed, and groundless leniency shown to convicted murderers.\n\nHis Excellency the GOVERNOR mainly responsible for the present position of affairs-October 7th. It is important, when tracing the great increase of crime in the Colony to its sources, nor to lose sight of any conducing causes that have been overlooked, full credit will be given for them. Among other matters referred to in the schedule of documents laid before the Committee appointed to inquire into the Police Duties, is a reference to a despatch by Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY to Lord CARNARVON two years back in which he seems to anticipate a serious increase of crime consequent on the lowering of the fares by the Canton river steamers. Mr. HENNESSY certainly makes a point here.\n\nThe anchorage in Chüen-wan Bay is regarded by junk masters as a peculiarly safe one, with good holding ground, hence the selection of this spot in former days by pirates as their depot or stronghold, to which they repaired for refitting their craft or disposing of their ill-gotten gains, and for which purpose Chien-wan presents singular facilities in the fact that the two passes through the mountains into the Tung-koon and Wei-chow districts and the wealthy and populous towns to the northward and eastward may be approached either by Chien-wan.\n\nAfter landing, which is a somewhat difficult business on account of the mud, walk up past the villages by a stone-paved path, often shaded by trees, then, turning to the left, up the mountain side several pretty Chinese water mills may be seen. These water wheels are worked by a wooden shaft on which are projecting knobs which depress a lever, on the other end of which is a heavy stone pestle, which thus alternately elevated and allowed to fall, pulverizes the sandalwood or other substance contained in a large stone mortar beneath.\n\nIn the village of Chen-wan the manufacture of incense or Chinese joss-stick is carried on on a somewhat extensive scale, the principal ingredient being sandalwood powdered in the mills I have referred to. Chinese vermicelli is also made here.\n\nOr to those not afraid of the long Chinese walk, or provided with chairs, a visit to the lead mine spoken of before might not be without its interest. The locality is about half a mile beyond the village of Shing-moun, at the top of the pass. One able to endure the fatigue would be well repaid by the magnificent view of Tai-tú-shan with Mirs Bay, and its surrounding mountains, notably the curious saddle mountain, or Ma-on-shau, on the other.\n\nAs a few lines about the place where the robbers of Tuesday night, 24th ultimo, landed after committing their raid on the Cheung Shing goldsmiths shop may be of public interest at the present time we will in as few words as possible give a brief sketch of the place. Chien-wan Bay, called in olden times Pirates Bay, is a shallow inlet situated about a mile to the eastward of the Cap-shui-moon and some two miles or more to the northward and westward of Stonecutters' Island.\n\nThe bay itself is some half-mile broad, by about the same depth, and shallowing so gradually that sufficient depth of water for a launch could not be found at less than a hundred yards or more from the shore in any part. Chien-wan is approached from Stonecutters Island by a passage between the mainland and the Island of Chung-hü. This passage, after passing the large Island of Chung-hü, is termed Kai-chap-moon and is, after passing Ma-on Island, exposed for about half a mile, where it receives the protection of Ma-on Island.\n\nThis is the island which, situated between the large island of Nam-tai-o, or Tai-te-shan, and the mainland, forms the two passages leading over the mountains into densely populated plains. These plains are inhabited by an industrious, and, as Chinese go, honest population, but very turbulent and always carrying on clan fights amongst themselves, nearly every house or village being built as a fort.\n\nThe former is the passage taken by the Canton river steamers; the latter will be found convenient for boats or launches which are unable to make way against the strong tide running in the Cap-shui-moon, or for those who, dreading the pangs of sea sickness, wish to avoid the heavy seas which often have to be encountered when taking the more exposed route by Cap-shui-moon.\n\nPeople going out for an excursion would find the place not unworthy of a visit. The private residence of a wealthy Chinese well known as the Stanley great man is picturesquely situated amongst a grove of trees on a well-wooded hill side, and, although strangely built in the Chinese style of architecture, it was some years back captured by thieves, who after holding the house some hours, carried off everything of value, including the youngest and choicest of the unfortunate proprietor's concubines.\n\nThis Shing-moon leads down to the southern arm of Mirs Bay and so communicates by water with several nests of thieves and pirates in Mirs Bay or rather on the northern shore of the bay. These places thus referred to are at the extremity of passes through the mountains into the densely populated plains.\n\nThe Police report for `1877` showed an increase of `6.45` per cent. of serious crime and `23.86` per cent. of minor offences over the preceding year. In `1878` there was a much larger increase of serious crime, and since then things have gone from bad to worse, though attention has been called to the facts by the GOVERNOR in the Legislative Council and by the Press.\n\nHow, then, is it that a check has not sooner been given to this growth of crime? Mr. HENNESSY would seem to contend that the increase has been natural and inevitable; we maintain that its later and worst development is the fruit of His Excellency's mistaken policy. At a time when it was obvious that greater rigour should be observed in dealing with criminals, he indiscreetly denounced in strong terms the practice of former administrations and induced an impression among the criminal class that more lenient treatment would be dealt out to offenders in future, a notion that was still further confirmed by some highly judicious pardons granted by His Excellency.\n\nA reference to the return published in the Gazette of the number of pardons granted during fifteen months of Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY's administration and a like period of the present administration, it indicates nothing unless the relative numbers of conditional pardons be also published, if these are included, as we presume they are. Conditional pardons generally involve the absence of the pardoned from the Colony for a certain number of years.\n\n## DESPATCH.\n\n**No.** `13089`  \n**Date.** `14 OCT 78`  \n**Subject.** Midan Baraphrase of telegram from the Governor of Hong Kong.\n\nThe Crown Agents would be glad if the `15` constables on the usual conditions be engaged to fill the vacancies which may be expected at the end of the year.\n\n**(Minutes.)**  \nThere was scarcely any need for cipher.

        "content_text": "were made in the most remote of the buildings, and even in the succeeding block, in which the Club and the office of this paper are situated, for a sudden removal of effects. The firemen did their best, but with the miserable streams of water at their command, they could do no more than keep the walls of the house opposite to the roaring conflagration at Kows's wetted. The jets would not reach to the top of the building. To make matters worse the fire in the building about thirty yards higher up the hill became more intense, and at one period fire was discovered in the low building opposite, previously referred to, but was speedily extinguished.\n\nFortunately the wind was light, and a little later was blowing straight up the hill. Slowly the flames in the two buildings were reduced in intensity, and a mighty sigh of relief must have gone round when it was seen that the firemen had obtained control of the fire, and that the Hongkong Dispensary block and succeeding blocks were saved.\n\nA general feeling prevails that a gross lack of system or a lamentable want of harmony existed amongst the different bodies at work extinguishing the great fire of last night. Everyone appears to think that the flames ought to have been circumscribed to a very small compass, and that the bolder measures of making a cordon of gaps around the burning mass, by means of pulling down or blowing up neighbouring houses, ought to have been taken hours before they were attempted. It is admittedly easy to comment upon how the door was not fastened after the steed is miles away; and we should be sorry to point to any particular officials, civil or military, upon whose shoulders the blame ought to rest. The fresh breeze also may have had much to do with the alarming spread of the fire. The result, however, is the same. While battering ourselves for the last ten years that a fire had no chance against our Brigades and Engines, we have discovered to our horror and amazement that a fire can assume the mastery, spread from block to block and street to street, and baffle all the skill or preconceived notions of our Fire-Master and his assistants (Messrs. C. V. Creagh and J. P. McEuen). How the fatal delay to blow up the unburnt adjacent buildings, especially corner houses, was occasioned, we are not as yet in a position to say. The Fire-Master it appears gave his authority to destroy in order to save, early in the evening, but for some unaccountable reason the opportunity was lost, and the flames marched on unchecked. It burnt fiercely for about seventeen hours, devouring property roughly estimated at about a million of dollars. How the Brigade men, the military and naval detachments, and many volunteers, worked like lions, though their efforts were evidently misdirected or but ill-guided, will be readily admitted by all who saw them. Captain Deane, Mr Wodehouse, and many of the other local officials were also present, doing good work. The distress among the Chinese will, it is stated, be relieved by their own people, several offers having been respectfully declined by the leading Chinese merchants. Captain McKirdy, of the steamer Perusia, placed his fine steamer at the disposal of the authorities; but though comfortable quarters could have been thus obtained for 700 or 800, the Chinese refused to accept the offer thus considerately made. It is to be hoped that the homeless may be provided with shelter of some kind or other. During the day the 74th Highlanders have been doing patrol duty, and the soldiers, together with those of the Volunteers who have not been out all night, will share with the Police the arduous duty of patrolling the busy streets during this night. A friendly offer from the Spanish Consul of 100 men-of-war's men was declined by the Governor, with thanks, as being unnecessary under the circumstances; but a detachment from the Patino did good service during the fire.\n\nAs we go to press we observe that the fire shows signs of revival at several important points. It is stated that some of the engines have been sent home! Should a breeze arise, and an insufficient supply of water be on the spot, it is quite possible we may have a repetition of the scene of last night. The Magistracy is certainly threatened with conflagration at the moment we write (7 p.m.)\n\n## \"CHINA MAIL\" OFFICE, \nFriday, Dec. 27th.\n\nThe light breeze that arose about five or six o'clock last night revived the fire at several points, and, owing to the absence of engines and firemen, matters began at one time to wear a rather serious aspect, especially in the neighbourhood of the Magistracy. The breeze, however, did not strengthen, and when the engines were again got to work, the revived fires were quickly reduced to safe limits. This morning little is to be seen but ruined walls, and here and there smouldering fires—a terrible change in the bright and prosperous scene the same locality presented on Christmas morning. A walk through the ruined streets, from which the debris was being rapidly cleared away this morning, will enable an idea of the extent of the property destroyed to be appreciated. The boundaries and area of the fire we have accurately described in a previous article.\n\nA gentleman, who was among the first arrivals at Fisher's shop, where the fire originated, says that when he got there he saw sparks coming from the house, but that there were no flames for a time. The door was fastened, and there appeared to be no one in the house. He detected a smell of kerosine, and others present noticed it and spoke about it. This smell was observed fifty yards from the house. Very soon after the alarm was given the house burst into flames, and the fire rapidly extended into the Queen's Road. The occurrence of fires at three other places the same night, namely, Kowloon, Wong-nei-chong, and Stanley, certainly does seem a little singular, although there appears to be little ground for supposing that these disasters were the concerted work of incendiaries. What, for example, could be the object of a band of rascals in setting a wooden erection adjoining Mr Francis's bungalow at Kowloon on fire, or in starting a conflagration at Stanley, seeing that no general attempt seems to have been made to rob or pillage either in Hongkong, or the outlying places in question? Individual malice or interest may have accounted for one or two of the fires; and while on this subject we may mention one or two circumstances, which are evidence, at least, of a desire on the part of some individuals among the Chinese to spread the fire after it had originated. We hear on very good authority that one gentleman, who was taking an active part in the conflict against the flames, entering a native house threatened with the fire, he found a bale of goods standing in a room with a quantity of kerosine oil spread around it on the floor. Another gentleman states that he discovered, in one of the habitations he entered, a train of gunpowder terminating in a pile of inflammable chips. These circumstances point to the desirability of some enquiry being held both as to the origin and progress of the conflagration.\n\nBishop Raimondi and Father Burghignoli request us to tender their best thanks to the Fire Brigade and military and naval authorities for the efforts made to save the Roman Catholic Cathedral.\n\n438",

        "content_text": "# LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n## Hong Kong\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held yesterday afternoon. There were present-\n\nHis Excellency the **GOVERNOR**.\n\nHon. Sir John SMALE, Chief-Justice.\n\nHon. C. C. SMITH, Acting Colonial-Secretary. \nHon. C. MAY, Acting Colonial-Treasurer.\n\nHon. G. M. PRICE, Surveyor-General.\n\nHon. H. LOWCOCK.\n\nHon. W. KESWICK.\n\n## PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS\n\nHon. H. LOWCOCK. With reference to the grant for educational purposes, with reference to grants in aid, may I ask for one explanation of what they really are?\n\nThe **GOVERNOR**-My hon. friend is aware that Mr. Stewart drew up some years ago the grant-in-aid scheme and that scheme was somewhat elaborated before my arrival. The improvements and alterations he then made were entirely approved by Sir Arthur Kennedy, and his scheme as amended made a slight alteration in the grants in aid, which necessitates a slight increase in those grants this year. With respect to the grants-in-aid themselves, the number of schools actually receiving them appears by Mr. Stewart's list as eleven. There are the Basle Mission Girls' School, three Baxter Mission Schools, St. Paul's College School, two St. Stephen's Church Schools, two London Mission Schools, and two Victoria Schools. These now get the grants-in-aid. Mr. Stewart tells us the total number of children who avail themselves of the grants to these schools, and according to his report, which is thoroughly reliable, it appears to be on the increase.\n\nHon. H. LOWCOCK-Your Excellency has misunderstood me. What I refer to is an entirely different matter. I refer to the charitable allowances. I see I should be very loth under any circumstances to propose reducing either of those grants in any way whatever, but I think it my duty to bring to the notice of your Excellency, with reference to the vote of $600 to the West Reformatory, a circumstance which occurred in a publication issued from the Reformatory, published on the 3rd of this month, containing a most unwarrantable attack on certain officers - the Registrar-General and Surveyor-General - in reference to certain matters in Wellington-street. I should not say this sum should not be granted to the Reformatory, but I think we should ask for a guarantee that such attacks are not made on Government officials in future. Of course, I should not have alluded to this in any way had I not observed that the paper is published at the Reformatory by some one connected with it.\n\nThe article referred to by the hon. member was from the Catholic Register, and is as follows:-\n\nThe Honourable Mr. Price, as Surveyor-General, has done more useful work in the Colony than all his predecessors put together. Whatever he has taken in hand has not only been well done, but in a style and with a degree of finish that has added much to the beauty of our roads, streets, and bridges. There are very few portions of the Colony where his skill and taste are not in evidence, but there are still a few spots that seem to have escaped him. What has Wellington Street done that it should become like the bed of a mountain torrent and be permitted to remain? It certainly cannot claim to be a very reputable neighbourhood, thanks to the carelessness or indifference of the Registrar General's Department. Many houses are the residences of prostitutes, but it is an important and much frequented thoroughfare, and it is time something was done for it, both by the Surveyor-General, for whom there are many excuses, and by the Registrar General for whom there are none. It is a disgrace to the Colony that women of indifferent character should be permitted to reside and display themselves on a street which forms a principal thoroughfare between the lower and upper parts of the town, where the wives and children of many of us have to pass daily, and where stands a sacred edifice frequented by three-fourths of the foreign population of the island. If such people had shown themselves anywhere in the vicinity of St. John's Cathedral the Registrar-General and his Inspectors would long since have exercised their very summary powers to remedy the nuisance. It is useless to reply that private individuals have a remedy in their own hands if a nuisance exists. In this Colony vice is licensed and pays a handsome sum to the revenue, and has a department and officers specially charged with its regulation. Let the department and its officers do their own work.\n\nThe **ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY**-I am exceedingly obliged to my hon. friend for drawing attention to this matter, and as I am personally interested in the allegations made, I may, perhaps, be allowed to offer an explanation. The article in the paper, after drawing attention to the very able work of my hon. friend at the end of the table [Mr. Price], complains most bitterly of the very scandalous state in which Wellington-street now is and has been ever since... \n\nSince I have been in the Colony, I refer to a class of women who are living in the neighbourhood of a religious edifice, and who naturally attract attention. This is a scandal which ought to be suppressed. The Registrar-General is there charged with carelessness and indifference in not suppressing the scandal to which I above referred. I think the Council will learn this with some surprise - as I was struck with great surprise. This is a matter which has been under consideration - under personal consideration - between myself and the head of the Roman Catholic Church in this colony. The circumstances which brought the matter just now under consideration arise from a certain number of new buildings being put up opposite the Roman Catholic Cathedral, and several women of questionable character have taken up residences there. Now I have had terms with the right reverend prelate to whom I refer, and almost every clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church in this colony. When these houses were first erected, my right reverend friend drew my attention to a fear in his mind that they would be occupied by immoral women. I promised to look into the matter. Most unfortunately for him the houses were occupied by women of low character. This is a matter which comes under the cognisance of the Registrar-General, who superintends the working of the Contagious Diseases Ordinance. I immediately set the officers of the Department to find out who these women were, and whether they came within the provisions of the Ordinance. I found they did not, but were women living under the protection of certain gentlemen of this Colony. It is therefore beyond my power and authority to interfere with them in any way, however anxious I was to remove this scandal from such a locality. I went beyond my powers to send for the people, and I also sent for some of the gentlemen to whom I refer. I pointed out to them the scandal to which I refer, told them it could not be allowed, and that every possible means would be taken to remove such a state of affairs. This I informed the Right Rev. Prelate in writing and verbally, and for a certain length of time the nuisance was removed, but it cropped up again. I asked my locum tenens to look to it, though it was not within our powers, but the scandal continued and continues to the present hour. With that explanation I think they will agree with me that the attack made upon the Registrar-General was unwarranted - whether made upon me or my locum tenens. I presume it is on myself; I wish to free him from the attack. Such an article ought not to have appeared in a paper at an institution drawing Government allowance, published by a Roman Catholic priest, and under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church in this Colony. It says the Registrar-General would be actuated in a different way if the scandal were in the neighbourhood of St. John's Cathedral. I am sure that is not a point in which I need offer any defence before the Council or the community of Hongkong.\n\nThe **GOVERNOR**-This is the first time I have seen this, and I had no idea my hon. friend Mr. Lowcock or my hon. friend on the left, the Acting Colonial-Secretary, were about to address any remarks on the subject to-day. As this is the first time I have seen it, I will read a few passages from the article commented upon, because before taking any action we must be careful how we deal with the expression of public sentiment through any newspaper in this Colony, no matter what institution it may be connected with. The article says \"It is a disgrace to the Colony that women of indifferent character should be permitted to reside and display themselves on a street which forms a principal thoroughfare between the lower and upper parts of the town, where the wives and children of many of us have to pass daily, and where stands a sacred edifice frequented by three-fourths of the foreign population of the island.\" Now, the question is whether any newspaper published in this Colony is justified in making such statements. If the statements are libellous there is a remedy for them, but I think I will point out to my hon. friends that this is not the place in which to deal with them. I hope the Council will do me the justice to believe that to me it is a matter of indifference in what newspaper such statements may have appeared. Let us see whether there is any ground-work for them. My hon. friend the Acting Colonial Secretary has admitted that opposite to one of the Churches in this Colony, and opposite to a school where a number of children are being daily educated, women, as he says utterly characterless, whose characters must be known to everyone, are in the windows and doorways of these houses, and I may tell him that it has come to my knowledge...",

        "content_text": "ing steam launches, which provides the number of passengers they are allowed to carry. The ferry steamers plying between Victoria and Kowloon are licensed. I cannot remember the tonnage of all the launches. The document produced is a bill of sale of the Potan, transferring the vessel from Augustine Heard to the Company. It comes from the Harbour-Master's office. It gives the tonnage as 663.69. There are blank spaces both in the bill of sale and register. Supposing those blanks to be filled in, if she had the spaces, it would considerably augment her net tonnage. Applying the rule for steam launches to these large steamers, a much larger number of passengers might be carried in them, I should say. There is no practice in the office of registering a vessel's tonnage in parts of three tons each. The register is always given in one sum.\n\nBy Mr. Sharp-The blank spaces referred to by Mr. Brereton are in every register. Sometimes they are filled up and sometimes not, according to the circumstances. It is simply the form. Some of them are filled up in the case of the Kinshen, which considerably increases her tonnage. Had there been similar space in the other steamer, no doubt it would have been mentioned.\n\nInspector Matheson said-On the 17th instant, in consequence of instructions received, I sent four boats between the P. and O. and Canton wharves and gave them certain instructions. When the Canton steamer Kinshan arrived, I was standing on the wharf. I saw her approach through the junk anchorage. No one got on board of her there. The police boats were stationed there to keep people off. No one got on board when she arrived except a few coolies with the Company's uniform on. There were several constables on the wharf to prevent people going on board, and no one did get on board either from the shore or water side. There were police boats on the water side. People knew what was going to take place, and no attempt was made to get on board. There are three gangways. I stationed myself at the main gangway, Inspector Lindsay was at the forward gangway, and P.C. Campbell was at the after gangway. I proceeded to count the passengers. I had two constables and a sergeant on the gangway to assist me in preventing the passengers making a rush. I counted 898. This did not include the crew, as far as I am aware. I saw the crew afterwards on board.\n\nI am quite sure I am accurate in stating the number of people who passed the gangway. I received similar instructions with reference to Powan on the following day. The same precautions were taken with reference to her as with reference to the Kinshan. I was on that occasion stationed at the midship gangway. I counted the passengers in the same way as on the day before. 481 passed the gangway. I had particular instructions to be careful in my counting.\n\nBy Mr. Brereton-I saw the hull of the Kinshan first as she entered the junk anchorage, about a mile and a half distant. Some of the people I counted coming both from the Powan and Kinshan might have been members of the crew. It is usual when a steamer enters the harbour for her to be surrounded with boats. The gangway I was at was about 4ft. wide. The other Inspector and Constable who kept count stood at the other gangways. The Kinshan and Powan both had junks on each side as they approached. I will not undertake to say that from the time the hull came in sight, no one got on board. I could not say that no junks went alongside before the steamer rounded the point opposite the P. & O. Offices.\n\nP.C. Campbell deposed that he was on duty at the Canton Wharf, and had everyone, except the Company's servants and the police, cleared off the wharf before the steamers arrived, and no one else allowed on. He saw the steamers when they were abreast of the Sailors' Home, or about there, and was sure no boats went alongside. He was stationed at the after gangway, and counted 547 passengers leaving the Kinshan. On the Powan, he was stationed at the forward gangway and counted 236 passengers. These numbers, he believed, did not include any of the crew. No one was allowed to go on board again after leaving the steamers.\n\nBy His Worship-He had been on special duty at the wharf for about four years and went on board the steamers every day. After the passengers were out, there were about the usual number of people left on the steamers.\n\nBy Mr. Brereton-He knew most of the crew of both vessels. He could not say there were not any of the crew amongst the persons he counted as passengers. There was a bend in the harbour before the P. and O. wharf. As far as he could judge, when he first saw the vessels, they were abreast of the Sailors' Home. He could not say whether any boats went alongside before they reached there, but none went alongside afterwards.\n\nBy Mr. Sharp-The steamer does not come from the direction of Green Island, but almost across from Stonecutter's Island.\n\nInspector Lindsay said-From certain instructions received on the 17th instant, I took a party of constables to the Canton Wharf and placed them so that no person could come on. There were also some police boats guarding around and placed in the fairway of the Canton boat. I first saw the Kinshan on that day when she was near the Cap-sing-moon coming towards the wharf. I lost sight of her shortly afterwards until she was nearly opposite the Sailors' Home, and I then kept sight of her until she arrived at the wharf. No boats, with the exception of the Police boats, got alongside. When the Kinshan was swinging round at the wharf, I told the captain that I wanted to count the passengers. Captain Bonning then asked me how many gangways I should like, and I replied three. When the vessel was moored, two gangways were put out on the lower deck and one from the main deck. I was stationed at the fore gangway. Inspector Matheson and P.C. Campbell were at the other gangways. I had two lukongs with me to keep the passengers back in case they came out too quickly. The passengers came out slowly. I counted on the gangway I was at, 573 passengers. The gangway was then shifted to the main deck and three more passengers came ashore, making a total 576. No persons went on board from the shore with the exception of coolies with the company's badge on. I did not count these men when they came ashore. Whilst I was counting, the captain came to my gangway two or three times, as did also one of the officers. I also assisted in counting the passengers from the Powan on the following day, when I took similar precautions as I did on the day previous. I was stationed at the after gangway of the Powan. I counted 632 passengers and had no difficulty in doing so. On the 15th, I was on board the Ichang when her passengers were being counted.\n\nMr. Brereton objected to that question as it was irrelevant and had nothing to do with the Kinshan.\n\nHis Worship concurred with Mr. Brereton.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Brereton-The reason I say that the Kinshan was off the Sailors' Home is that I have seen the steamers come in so often and I judged the distance. The intervening time from where I first saw her until the second time I saw her was about half an hour. I cannot say if any Chinamen got on board the Kinshan during the time I lost sight of her. It might be possible. I believe there are four gangways to the Kinshan, and I think three to the Powan. I counted the passengers singly and noted down every hundred. I do not know any of the crew, and it was possible that some of them might have passed out amongst the passengers.\n\nBy Mr. Sharp-I cannot say at what speed the Kinshan was coming in.\n\nP.C. Paterson, P.C. Harper, and P.C. Zwart, in charge of police boats on the days in question, gave evidence to the effect that no persons got on board the steamer or left her before she arrived at the wharf.\n\nLeung Aking, a passenger on the Kinshan, said the vessel was crowded with passengers. It was very hard to walk about on account of the crowd. The vessel stopped at Whampoa and passengers came on board there in two large boats; there might be a hundred in each boat. He did not see any passengers land there or anywhere else before reaching Hongkong. When in the Cap-sing-moon, a steam-launch came alongside, but witness could not say whether any of the passengers got into the launch. When she got into the harbour, she was surrounded by several police-boats. No one got out to the steamer.\n\nBy Mr. Brereton-He was near the gangway when the steamer left Canton and he remained there all the time. No one asked him to take note of all these things.\n\nMr. Brereton asked the witness if he were not to be paid for what he was saying.\n\nMr. Sharp objected to the question.\n\nHis Worship thought the tone in which Mr. Brereton asked the question was improper.\n\nPage 314",

        "content_text": "# The Daily Press\n\n## HONGKONG, MAY 13TH, 1879\n\n### DEPARTURE OF GENERAL GRANT\n\nAt ten o'clock yesterday morning a deputation from the Chinese community, consisting of Messrs. Ng Choy, Leung On, Fang Tang, Hop Koe, Ho Amei, Lee Sing, and Chong Tsin Yeong, waited upon General Grant at Government House, to present him with an address previous to his departure.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor introduced the deputation to General Grant, and the Hon. A. E. Bois, Colonel Mosby, and Major Palmer, A.D.C., were also present.\n\nMr. Ng Choy, who had been deputed to present the address, began by saying a few words regretting that, owing to the time necessarily taken in preparing it, they had been unable to wait sooner upon the General for the purpose of presentation. He then handed him the address and read the translation of it, as follows:-\n\n**(Translation)**\n\nTo General Ulysses S. Grant, late President of the United States of America and Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army.\n\nOn the occasion of your honouring Hongkong with your presence we, the undersigned, on behalf of the Chinese Community, approach you to give you a hearty welcome and beg to present to you an address expressive of our high esteem and respect for you.\n\nDuring your Presidency, your great name and noble qualities were well known far and wide, and by the carrying out of laws and respect from you commanded admiration from all classes of people under your rule, we have been delighted to learn that in international questions you have shown a spirit of impartiality and fairness, treating Americans and Foreigners alike, and the Chinese who have been trading in the United States have sung, and continue to sing, praises of the many good actions done by you while in office. We had longed to see you, but being far away we were hitherto not permitted to realize our wish. Now that you have honoured us with a visit, we avail ourselves of the opportunity to present you with a scroll inscribed with these four words \"Benefit to Chinese People\" which we hope may serve as a souvenir of your interview with the Chinese Community of Hongkong.\n\nNg Choy  \nO Man Chai  \nKwok Aubeong  \nChing Sing Yeong  \nWong Kwau Tong  \nLoong On  \nKon Moon Walt  \nChum Sui Shug  \nSee mee Sang Kai  \ning Sart Yeong  \nYo Wni San  \nPan Fong Poo  \nPow Chung Hung  \nCha Sit Chuen  \nPoon Chi Kai  \nLee Sing  \nHo Amei  \nLeo Tuck Chong  \nFung Tang  \nChow Shing Lam  \nTung Ting Kam  \nLoo Lai Pang  \nWong Yu Yee  \nLee Pun Chee  \nSay Yeon Man  \nMing Koo  \nTung Tack Chan  \nLai Hong Chunan Yuen  \nCheong Wing  \nWing Mow Cheong  \nChong Woo Chan  \nLong Cheong Chan  \nWing Cheong Chan  \nYa Sang Cheong  \nMee Fook  \nMesa Cheong Wo  \nKwan Choong Lung  \nTeu Cheong Lang  \nKwong Lee Cheong  \nWing Cheong Phing  \nTon Hing Lung  \nKwong Man Fung  \nChun Wing...

It will be kept by me as a pleasing memento of the Chinese community of Hongkong. In other colonies during my recent travels I have also met countrymen of yours, and I have found the rulers of those colonies recognising your good qualities of frugality, industry, and enterprise. Such qualities go far to account for the prosperous condition in which I see you all here. I am now leaving Hongkong to visit your country, and I am sure I shall see much that will be very interesting to me. For this handsome address I must again thank you most sincerely, and I shall never forget the kindness shown to me by the people here. I wish that prosperity may continue to be enjoyed by you.\n\nAt the request of His Excellency the Governor, Mr. Ng Choy introduced the other members of the deputation to the General.\n\nThe deputation then withdrew. The address, which was sixteen feet long by four feet wide, an extremely handsome scroll, was embroidered in gold on a strip of crimson satin about ten feet long, with a rich deep border, exquisitely embroidered. The characters are written in Chinese. On the top of the scroll is written the address, on the right side is General Grant's name in Chinese, and on the opposite side are the signatures. In the centre are four large Chinese characters, viz:- \"Wai Kap Wa Man\" (Benefit to Chinese people.) The scroll was packed in a teak wood box.\n\nIn response to the invitation of His Excellency the Governor, the officials, naval, military, and civil, as well as a large number of the general community, assembled shortly before eleven o'clock a.m. at Murray Pier to see General Grant and party embark for the U.S.S. Ashuelot. There were present the Chief Justice (Sir John Smale), His Excellency Major-General Donovan; Commodore Smith; the Hon. W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary; Hon. J. Russell, Attorney-General; Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Acting-Colonial Treasurer; Hon. J. M. Price, Surveyor-General; Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. W. Keswick, and Hon. H. B. Gibb, Members of the Legislative Council; the Acting Puisne Judge; Hon. C. B. Plunket; Colonel Geddes, 27th Regiment; Colonel Sherwin-ton, Assistant Commissary-General; Colonel Moore, Commissary-General of Ordnance; Colonel Mosby, U. S. Consul; Mr. Taro Ando, Japanese Consul; Captain Kasama, H.I.J.M. corvette Nissin; a good sprinkling of naval and military officers and a number of the residents. The police, under Captain-Superintendent Deane, lined the road from Government House to the pier, upon which was drawn up a company of the 27th Inniskillings with their colours and band. Punctually at eleven o'clock the General and his party, with His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy, arrived at Murray Pier, when General Grant gave his arm to Mrs. Hennessy while the Governor escorted Mrs. Grant to the head of the pier. The guard of honour presented arms, and the band played as they passed. Arrived at the steps, the General and his party exchanged adieux with those present, and as they stepped into the Government launch Mr. Hennessy called for three cheers for General Grant, which invitation was warmly responded to, and one cheer more for Mrs. Grant added. His Excellency the Governor, Mrs. Hennessy, Colonel Mosby, Major Palmer, R.E., A.D.C., and Dy. Paymaster Eastlake accompanied the party to the Ashuelot. As the launch steamed away from the pier the band of the 27th played their Farewell March to Gosport, which included \"Over the Sea\" and \"Good bye, Sweetheart.\" On passing the Spanish gunboat Marques del Duero, and the German corvette Luise, the marines on both vessels were drawn up and saluted the launch, the band on the Luise playing \"Hail Columbia.\" Captain Mortimer L. Johnson, the new commander of the Ashuelot, received the General and party on board and conducted them to the hurricane deck, where there were in waiting Mr. and Mrs. Forbes, Admiral Polo (Spanish Navy), Captain Sobering (H.I.G.M. Navy), Dr. Von der Horck, and Mrs. Eastlake. After the final farewells had been taken, the Governor, Mrs. Hennessy, Colonel Mosby, and Major Palmer left in the Government launch. On His Excellency leaving the Ashuelot he was saluted by that vessel. The Ashuelot shortly afterwards left for Swatow.\n\nMr. Afong, the photographer, has taken an excellent view of the embarkation.\n\nPage 338",

        "content_text": "# THE DAILY PRESS.\n\n## HONGKONG, MARCH 10TH, 1880.\n\n### THE DISTRESS IN IRELAND.\n\n#### PUBLIC MEETING IN THE CITY HALL.\n\nA public meeting was held in the City Hall, on the 8th inst., for the purpose of inaugurating a subscription for the relief of the distress in Ireland. His Excellency the Governor presided, and the attendance was large and enthusiastic. Amongst those present were His Excellency Major-General Donovan, Sir John Smale, Chief Justice; Bishop Burden, Hon. W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary; Hon. H. O'Malley, Attorney-General; Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. Ng Choy, Mr. T. Jackson, most of the leading members of the mercantile community, and a large number of military and civil officers. Mrs. Hennessy and one or two other ladies were also present.\n\nThe GOVERNOR said, \"My Lord Bishop, ladies and gentlemen, the announcements which have appeared in the public press have informed you that I took the liberty to summon a preliminary meeting of some Irish gentlemen at Government House, to consider what steps we might recommend to our friends in this colony for dealing with the distress in Ireland. I may say that, although correct in the main, the report which appeared in the evening paper paid me this compliment, that it attributed to me the speeches of four or five other gentlemen who spoke at that meeting. We resolved to ask you to come together to-day, for the purpose of raising subscriptions to be sent to the Duchess of Marlborough's fund for the relief of the distress in Ireland. Now, you are men of business, and my first duty is to endeavour briefly to explain to you how it comes to pass that we have to ask you for subscriptions. I cannot deny that the loss of the crops took place in England as well as in Ireland, and that, in fact, the loss of the crops in England was actually greater than that in Ireland, but, nevertheless, the fact remains that the distress in Ireland is far more severe, and threatens a far more dangerous future, than the distress in England. Ireland, unfortunately, is a country subject to famines, and the special reason why Ireland suffers so much when distress of this kind occurs has been explained in a letter from the Duchess of Marlborough, which puts the whole case so clearly that, with your permission, I will read it.\"\n\nHer Grace says: \"The class whom I and those associated with me are endeavouring to assist is chiefly composed of small farmers holding from two to ten acres of land, extremely numerous in Ireland, as you are perhaps aware. These sorely tried people are excluded by law from obtaining relief under the poor rates unless they first give up their land, and, rather than yield to this necessity, it is well known that they will submit to inconceivable privations. Every caution is taken by the Committee of which I am president to obtain information from local sources of the most trustworthy character, in order that only the truly deserving shall receive aid from the funds at our disposal. Relief is administered, irrespective of creed, through the agency of local Committees, composed of resident proprietors, ministers of all persuasions, and the dispensary medical officers, who are intimately acquainted with the circumstances of the people. Not only has present starvation to be contended with, but also the preservation of the land from barrenness, by the distribution of seed, will be a future source of care to this Committee, and you will be able to form some idea of the extent of our operations and our needs when I state that we are now engaged in supplying funds to 37 local Committees, working in an area occupied by eight counties; and the demands for relief from other districts come thickly upon us every day. It cannot be doubted that the want throughout this land, if not promptly responded to by the voice of charity, will culminate in a famine, with the usual concomitants and successors of sickness and epidemics. Earnestly hoping that you may find it in your power to aid us in this crisis, I beg to remain, yours faithfully, FRANCES ANNE MARLBOROUGH.\"\n\nThe fact is, as the Duchess puts it in that letter, the Poor Law in Ireland is different from the poor law in England. According to the English poor law, it is sufficient if the relieving officers of the Board of guardians should be of opinion that any man is destitute; that gives him a claim on parochial relief. But unfortunately, in Ireland, there exists the addendum that the occupiers of small holdings, though the whole of their crops may have failed, though they may be absolutely starving, cannot get relief according to law. Perhaps I may mention here that an attempt was made some years ago to remedy this state of the law, and to assimilate the law of Ireland to that of England. A bill to that effect passed in the House of Commons. It was proposed by the Earl of Kimberley in the House of Lords, but, owing to the late period of the session, it did not pass. Subsequently, it was again pressed on the attention of the House of Commons, and again was passed after repeated debates and divisions. It was then moved in the House of Lords by the late Duke of Newcastle. He described that provision of the Irish poor law as a harsh and unjust provision, a provision which would always be fatal to the people of Ireland when distress arose. But, by a small majority of four, the bill was unfortunately thrown out. We therefore see that the poor rates of the country provided by the law of Ireland are not available for a considerable portion of the population. And if these rates are not so available, what is the meaning of an Irish famine, what are its consequences, what is it in reality? On looking around here to-day, I see some countrymen of mine, but perhaps there are few present who actually remember the events of the great famine of 1846 and 1847. I am sorry to say that I am old enough to remember them; and, though I was only twelve years of age at the time, I have a vivid recollection of the fact that I then saw in the streets of Cork one morning seven dead bodies lying not far from the residence of my father, a sight which has remained ever engraved on my memory. They were in two groups, one a group of five people lying dead, and another of two—a woman, apparently a young woman, and what appeared to me to be a very old but diminutive woman, but, on looking closely, I saw that it was in reality a dead child; it had died of starvation. Similar scenes were witnessed week after week by those who were in the south and west of Ireland. Some months rolled on, and another event occurred which struck me forcibly. I was walking not far from the city of Cork, and I came close to an old grave-yard where I saw a group of people collected round an open grave. Suddenly, there arose near at hand the lamentation for the dead, and a peasant who was standing in the road said to me, \"That, sir, is the pleasantest music that has fallen on my ears for many a day,\" for the preceding twelve months had beheld so many dead in Ireland—the famine-stricken people buried without coffins—that even the accustomed weeping for the dead was suspended, and the Irish peasant was delighted to hear once more the cry of lamentation. Well, years rolled on, but the effects of that famine were still felt in Ireland, and I have myself seen at Queenstown, stopping into the emigrant ships, strong men shedding tears on quitting their country, and carrying with them, wrapped up in their pocket handkerchiefs, little bits of green sod. What for? So attached to the soil are the Irish peasants that, when they leave the country and know they will never return—going to Canada or the United States—they carry with them little particles of their native earth to have them placed upon their graves. There is no man present but knows that the effects of the famine then afflicted the country might have been prevented, or at least mitigated. What we are engaged upon to-day is this; we are now meeting to do that which was not done with respect to the famine of 1846 and 1847; that is, we are meeting to prevent the famine.—(Applause) Prevention is better than a tardy and ineffectual cure, and if the Government of that day had but battled with the impending famine in Ireland towards the end of 1845 and in the year 1846, Ireland would not have lost three millions from her population.(Applause) Her population was then eight and a half millions; she has now five millions and a half. And, more than that, if her population had gone on increasing in the same ratio as the population of England and Scotland, Ireland would now contain twelve millions of people; and I believe that her fertile soil would provide ample food for that population. Now, with respect to the present distress, what evidence have we? We have, to begin with, the various letters which have been received from our friends, and the statements in the public press; and especially I may refer to...\n\nPage 450\nPage 451",

        "content_text": "# THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 10TH MAY, 1880.\n\nThe guests assembled in the drawing-room included Dr. and Mrs. EITEL, Dr. and Mrs. CLOUTH, Mr. and Mrs. ANDRÉ, Mr. and Mrs. POESNECKER, Mr. H. HOPPIUS, Mr. WONG KWAN T'ONG, Mr. C. V. CREAGH (Extra A.D.C.), and Lieutenant R. C. C. Cox, 27th Regiment, A.D.C.\n\nThe guests being assembled in the drawing-room, His Royal Highness entered at 1.15 P.M., wearing the Grand Cross, Ribbon, and Star of the Black Eagle of Prussia. He was accompanied by Baron von SECKENDORFF and Captain MCLEAN. At the same moment, the Royal Standard of Prussia was hoisted over Government House, and a Royal Salute was fired from the shore battery by the Royal Artillery and from the ships in harbour, the German men-of-war `Prinz Adalbert` and `Luise`, and Her Majesty's ships `Victor Emanuel`, `Comus`, and `Encounter`.\n\nThe guests having been presented to the Prince, His Royal Highness gave his arm to Lady HENNESSY, the Governor following with Lady SMALE, and the whole of the guests filed into the dining-room. During the banquet, the Band of the 27th Inniskillings played a selection of music; first German, with an intermixture of the popular Suabian melodies of the ancestral home of the Hohenzollerns, followed by some Scotch and Irish National airs.\n\nAt the close of the entertainment, His Royal Highness rose and proposed in a clear and ringing voice, \"Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland,\" the Band playing \"God save the Queen.\" Immediately after, the Governor proposed \"His Majesty the Emperor of Germany,\" whereupon the Band played the national anthem of Germany. The Prince then rose, and all present proceeded to the drawing-room, where those assembled for the \"At Home\" were presented to His Royal Highness.\n\nThe presentation lasted till nearly three P.M., when the Governor conducted the Prince to that part of the room where the picture of the Prince Consort was to be unveiled. His EXCELLENCY then, addressing the Prince, spoke as follows:\n\nMay it please Your Royal Highness: Ladies and Gentlemen, - In this eastern limit of Queen VICTORIA's dominions, I am about to unveil the portrait of the greatest Statesman-Prince of our age. There is something not inappropriate in doing so in the presence of his grandson and within sight of the shores of China. The laws and literature of the venerable Empire, whose mountains we behold from this house, inculcate filial reverence and domestic affection.\n\nI well remember that in the House of Commons, Mr. DISRAELI, in supporting a vote of condolence on the death of the Prince Consort, said that the Prince had discharged the highest public duties under the most difficult circumstances, and that he had elevated even the Throne of England by his domestic life. Next to THE QUEEN herself, who was it that shared most in the happiness and in the cares of that domestic life? THE PRINCESS ROYAL OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND AND CROWN PRINCESS OF PRUSSIA. (Applause.)\n\nAnd hence it is, Sir, illustrious Mother is enshrined in the hearts of the people of England. (Renewed applause.) Another British statesman of great experience, Lord GRANVILLE, has recorded the fact, that, in all his life, whether official or private, he never met with any person, in any class of society, who possessed a clearer understanding and whose intellectual faculties had been more highly cultivated, than the Prince Consort, no one from whom personally he had derived so much instruction in the most useful branches of statesmanship.\n\nRemembering what Lord GRANVILLE said, and reading now the last volume of the Prince Consort's life, we feel that, when Mr. DISRAELI spoke of the Prince discharging the highest duties under the most difficult circumstances, we may add with truth that he did so with complete success. (Applause.) We now know that in the long roll of English Sovereigns we never had a King who could rival Prince ALBERT in all that is truly Royal in character and conduct. (Applause.)\n\nSome of those who are present will no doubt remember that the Chinese Classics know no higher social duty than that of reverence for ancestors, and that the descendant, no matter how remote, who takes a leading part in the solemn homage at the ancestral shrine is named in that famous Book of Odes, composed three thousand years ago, \"filial grandson.\" Here, in this youthful Prince, in whose presence I now unveil this portrait, we have a living illustration of what those ancient pages teach. You, Sir, Prince HEINRICH, are \"the filial grandson.\" (Applause.)\n\nHis Excellency then unveiled the picture. Amid the applause of the assembly, THE PRINCE stepped forward, and, grasping the Governor's hand, said: I thank you, Sir, most warmly, for the way in which you have spoken of my beloved grandfather. Your words have touched me deeply. I shall never forget having assisted at this ceremony.\n\nHis Royal Highness then bowed to the assembled guests, and, accompanied by the Governor, Baron von SECKENDORFF, and Captain MCLEAN, left the room, and shortly afterwards started for Canton.\n\nPrinted and published by NORONHA & Co., Printers to the Hongkong Government, Nos. 5, 7, and 9, Zetland Street.",

We have waited and pressed for the foreman's long-promised improvement.\n\nWe should now want to think that it is quite unnecessary and unwise for Englishmen speaking Chinese for the higher posts in the long service, and assume that Mr. Lockhart's case was the exception here quoted.\n\nNow that our Wodehouse partner decided to fill Mrs. Plunkett's place, we shall have with Maj.-Gen. Hamilton's countenance, an understanding Chinese Interpreter who is competent, trustworthy, and employed.\n\nDec.",

NG CHOY.\n\nRev. Dr. CHALMERS.\n\nRev. R. LECHLER.\n\nP. R. SMITH, Esq.*\n\nDr. Wong, and\n\nDr. EITEL.\n\nDr. CHALMERS said that he presumed the\n\nInspector of Schools would ex officio act as Chairman, whereupon Dr. EITEL, as such, opened\n\nthe meeting by reading to the Board all the\n\ndocuments in C.S.O. 29 of 1881 which ex-\n\nplained how His Excellency the Governor came to appoint the Members of the Board as Examiners of the Government Central School on the present\n\noccasion, after the Masters of the School had, without the knowledge of the Governor, begun\n\nand nearly finished their own examination of the School. Dr. EITEL specially mentioned, that in 1879 the Governor had informed the Secretary\n\nof State of his intention not to allow the continuation of the system of having the Central School\n\nannually examined by its own Masters only, but that both in January 1880 and in January 1881\n\nthe examination was held in the same way as before, without the knowledge of the Governor,\n\nuntil the circumstances detailed in C.S.O. 29 of\n\n1881 drew His Excellency's attention to the matter.\n\nDr. EITEL further mentioned that after ordering\n\nthe Masters' own examination to be stopped, the Governor had been asked by the Acting Head\n\nMaster to allow the Masters to finish their\n\nexamination for their own satisfaction, but that\n\nthe Governor had decidedly refused to allow this\n\nexamination to be continued, as he wished the\n\npresent Board, appointed for the purpose, to\n\ninstitute an independent examination of the\n\nSchool de novo. With reference to the order of\n\nthe Governor that the Inspector of Schools should\n\narrange the preliminaries of the examination to\n\nbe held by the Board, Dr. EITEL laid before the\n\nBoard, and explained in detail, a scheme he had in consultation with Dr. STEWART and\n\ndrawn up,\n\nthe Acting Headmaster, Mr. ARTHUR, for the\n\nexamination of the Central School,-1stly in\n\nEnglish, 2ndly, in Chinese, and 3rdly, in certain\n\nspecial subjects, on the basis of the provisions\n\nlaid down in the Grant-in-aid Schedule.\n\nDr. CHALMERS said that whatever the object\n\nof the Governor might or might not have been\n\nin ordering the examination by the teachers of\n\nthe School to be stopped and in appointing\n\nseparate Examiners, he wished to propose the\n\nfollowing resolution for adoption by the Board:--\n\n* Added to the Board, on account of the illness of Mr. Justice SNOWDEN,\n\n局試考院書大家國湃甄\n\n錄記 行頒奪酌 日按 起日八十 月正由\n\n止二拜禮日 五十\n\n贊\n\n及\n\n復\n\n知\n\n由 二\n\n不來增補入局若及王君韜參贊歐總理共成\n\n至中途試事將故本局准他縠厥試事然後另行設法以試煉該書院專望局內諸公同心决斷云云\n\n不及知嗣閱一千八百八十一年第二十九號公文内附一摺方知所行與憶前事 陳列解明卽與掌院史署掌院鴉酌量遵從助賞義學規條而定之法以甄別大書院 英文 漢文 與及特狀\n\n•批准因 督憲特立本局實欲從新考該書院故至於 督憲監督學院預備舉行本局甄別之事故歐監督將所繕甄別之法 歐參贊復謂 督憲經筋該教師停考嗣准署掌院申陳稟請准該教師於當開考者完竣試事以俯帱安慰厥心但 督憲亦未 自行甄別院内生徒於一千八百八十年正月時習一千八百八十一年正月時該教師自行甄別生徒一如前法無異而 督憲猶 憲先已開考及將試故也要之 督憲嘗於一千八百七十九年星 藩政大臣調嗣後不欲香港國家大書院之教師如前每歲 八十一年第二十九號公文內載批語倡誦一遍卽解明制憲何邀集本局人員如此甄別國家大書院長以該教師未嘗請命制\n\n六位初集時湛牧師云本局必有主席之人監督學院原有衡文之任理官爲本局主席歐監督安居主席位考試局即將一千八百\n\n伍!叙牧師湛約翰收師黎力基叉狀師士滅即因按察司有恙\n\n湛牧師謂 督憲餅該書院教師停考另立考試局員不拘有無原故姑置勿論但欲倡議卽考試局查得大書院教師經已舉行甄別適\n\n\"That we, finding the teachers of the Central School were in the middle of a process of examination, nearly finished, permit them to finish that, and then take further measures to test the Shool.\"\n\nDr. EITEL reminded Dr. CHALMERS that the documents he had read to the Board showed that the Governor had appointed the Board for the purpose of instituting an independent examination on the basis of the Grant-in-aid Scheme, and that the Governor had twice ordered the discontinuance of the Masters' examination.\n\nMr. NG CHOY said he would second Dr. CHALMERS' motion, in consideration of the shortness of time and of the difficulties in the way of the Board examining the boys independently.\n\nDr. EITEL stated that this resolution, if passed, would put the Head Master into a false position, necessitating his disobeying the explicit orders of the Governor.\n\nDr. CHALMERs asked if the Members of the Board were forbidden to put the questions again, which the Masters, orally or in writing, had aiready put, to the boys.\n\nDr. EITEL replied that the Members of the Board had been asked to conduct a new and independent examination on the basis of the Grant-in-aid Schedule, that the examination\n\nbegun by the Masters was not in accordance with the rules laid down in that Schedule, and that therefore the Board was not asked to finish what the Masters had begun and then to test\n\nthe School somehow, but to conduct an entirely\n\nnew and independent examination on the principles of the Grant-in-aid Schedule.\n\nDr. CHALMERS said that he maintained that, as\n\na Member of the Board, he was free to ask the\n\nboys again the same questions which had been asked by the Masters, or which they were about\n\nto ask. Dr. CHALMERS wished to know decisively\n\nwhether or not he and the other Members of the Board could do so.\n\nMr. NG CHOY said that when he seconded the\n\nproposition he did not consider the words “permit\n\nthe Masters,\" and would suggest that Dr. CHAL\n\nMERS should substitute the words \"ask them to help us,\" in which case he would second Dr. CHALMERS' motion.\n\nDr. CHALMERS said what he wished was that the little portion of the examination held by the Masters which was left unfinished, be finished\n\nfor the convenience and help of the Board.\n\nMr. LECHLER remarked that the Board could not ask the Masters to continue an examination\n\nwhich the Governor had twice ordered them to discontinue.\n\nDr. CHALMERS said he wished to amend his previous motion, and moved -----\n\n\"That we, finding the teachers of the Central School were in the midst of a process of examination, nearly finished, instruct them to finish that, and then take further measures to test the School.'\n\nMr. NG CHOY declined to second this resolution.\n\nPage 83",

        "content_text": "## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nNo doubt, the repeated representations I ventured to address to Lord CARNARVON in 1877 against \"the Conditional Pardon and Deportation system, were mainly based on the clear evidence I had obtained that, however well intended or admirable in theory, it was a bad system, inconsistent with prison discipline, and that instead of checking crime it fostered and enlarged a criminal class on our Kowloong frontier and even within the Colony: but I was not insensible either to the sound general principles His Lordship had laid down on this subject in addressing the Governor of New South Wales in October 1874 in certain despatches, copies of which had been transmitted to my predecessor in 1875, and in which the Secretary of State had said :-----\n\nThe effect upon neighbouring Colonies, the Empire generally, or foreign countries, of letting loose a highly criminal or dangerous felon to reside in any part of the world except only that principally concerned to take charge of him, was a step which might clearly and not unreasonably give rise to complaints from without the Colony.\n\nTo release a criminal upon the condition that he should inflict himself either upon other Colonies and foreign countries or upon this country, was altogether in opposition to the theory now generally adopted.\n\nI am happy to say that, as the Chief Justice points out in his Report, Chinese criminals can be effectually dealt with in Hongkong without having recourse to this dangerous expedient.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed) J. 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.

If dad Him beley is satisfied as to the case, it might be well that the description given by the Chinese community, and by Dr. Eitel in his report of the 25th of October 1879, of the adguti for of children and domestic servitude in Chinese families, is true; and that any abuses that may occur will be exposed by the Chinese Society, with which, under your Lordship's instructions, the police are co-operating; that no further change is needed in the executive machinery now dealing with this matter; and that no alteration of the law on this subject is required.\n\nAs we have already stated, the bulk of the population of Hongkong up-dgeported the Governor in the view that there was nothing legal in the ordinary made of adoption of Chinese children in this Colony; but it be noted here that, although a considerable section of the European residents did think that something should be done in order to do away gradually with the power conferred by this system up well-to-do Chinese, Sir John Pope Hennessy expressed his opinion that no further change was needed in the executive machinery now dealing with this matter. This does not look as if Governor Hennessy were waging a war against the community for the abolition of Domestic Slavery!\n\nIf we turn our attention to the more revolting form of so-called slavery, commonly known as Brothel Slavery, it will be found, from the records of Governor Hennessy's administration in this Colony, that one of the most remarkable features of his five years' mis-vale was the neutralisation and disorganisation of the only Department that could deal effectively with this evil. In 1875, an Ordinance was passed, during Sir Arthur Kennedy's term of office, for the more effectual protection of women and children, under which person convicted of having brought any woman into the Colony for immoral purposes became liable to a severe punishment.\n\nThe greatest difficulties insurmountable existed in the way of obtaining evidence by which this crime could be brought home to the offenders—difficulties which appeared to become insurmountable when considered in conjunction with the low moral sense shown by all concerned in each transaction, and the prosaic and indifferent feeling which seemed to prevail amongst almost all classes of the Chinese Community on the subject. Still, some check was attempted to be placed upon these enormities by the Registrar General's Department, up to the time when Governor Hennessy began his efforts to destroy the Contagious Diseases Ordinances and to centralise or put an end to all healthy effort put forth by the Protector of the Chinese.\n\nThe grave complaints made by the Earl of Kimberley, as well as by nearly every medical officer of position belonging to the army or navy who had studied the object, against the supineness of Governor Hennessy as regards the application of the law affecting this subject, are on record. The Secretary of State has repeatedly called upon Sir John Pope Hennessy to cease his quibblings and to set to work to grapple with the difficulties, when this delicate but important question is being discussed.\n\nInstead of doing this, however, the Governor shut down, and wrote since his arrival at Home in England. It is a bold, some say an impudent, course to assert that the outcry against him in Hongkong arose from his uprooting a social evil. The war, therefore, which was waged, was not against Brothel Slavery, in this connection, by the young men, but against the very Department of Government which alone could make headway against the evil.\n\nWhile Sir John Pope Hennessy must be credited with having been instrumental in obtaining the assistance of the Chinese in detecting cases of kidnapping, he at the same time incurred the gravest responsibility by leaving all other means untried by which the great evils inseparable from the low morality of the Chinese might have been successfully dealt with. During the past three months, since the happy release of the Cuinny, the office of Registrar General and \"Protector of Chinese\" has been reorganised.\n\nThe Hon. James Russell, whose legal ability and administrative talent fitted him for its duties, is bringing great welminis trative ability and energy to the task of reorganisation; and there is every reason to believe that in a short time the office will exercise a more potent influence than it has ever yet done, for the unqualified good of the Colony.\n\nIt may be said that the ill effects of official friction and obstruction have sufficiently demonstrated how great good can be accomplished, at least through this one Department of the service; and now that a capable head has been fairly installed, with full powers to reorganise and reconstruct, and in all sympathy with the Head of the Executive, good fruits will doubtless be forthcoming in due course. Indeed, signs have not altogether been wanting already of an improved state of affairs, especially as affecting the department of work to which our remarks specially refer.\n\nThe C. D. law is being vigorously brought into force, and those concerned are now beginning to discover that a new hand has got hold of the reins, and that any regime very different from that under which they have been flourishing for some years past has entered upon work.\n\n## [No. 5900-June 15, 1882]\n\nMy Lord,--With reference to my view of the legal questions relating to the so-called slavery in Hongkong on which your Lordship points out, differed with the late Attorney General, Mr. Phillippo, in cases of bringing females to the Colony for immoral purposes, the Registrar General has succeeded in bringing home this charge in three cases during the last few days.\n\nWhilst I am clearly of opinion that there is nothing ilegal in the ordinary mode of adoption of Chinese children in the Colony, I still think that, in the particular case of Sang San Fat's child, I was wrong in instructing Mr. Phillippo to prosecute Loung 4 Tait, as in that case there appeared to be some evidence that the child was about to be taken out of the Colony, against the wish of the parents. This seemed to me to be an offence at common law.\n\n2. In reply to your Lordship's further questions, I have the honour to state that further enquiries confirm me in the opinion that punishment is always most effective with Chinese when it is swiftly denont; and these examples, together with others where girls of tender years were sold in Canton, will do much to open the eyes of the unprincipled people concerned that such offences cannot longer be tolerated.",

The personal property of a deceased debtor will be first applied to satisfaction of his debts, and if that be insufficient his real property may be taken, but no claim can be made on that of his relatives. It would also seem by implication that where the family property is held jointly that the various beneficiaries are severally liable for each other's debts.\n\n## DECISION OF WEN-USIA O-EST\n\n### Recovery of Debts\n\nIn this case, there is a debt of over Tls. 100, but no proof beyond a bare note, which is scarcely of more value as evidence than an old string of knotted cords, the more so as the debt was contracted in the time of Wan-leih many years ago, and the original parties to it are all dead, and not producible; as Pong-hnan says, \"how can you find out the facts if you don't know the man.\" We recommend the plaintiff to consider his claim like a burnt note, and as the ode says \"put it down to charity.\"\n\n## NOTE\n\n- A debt may be inheritable, and an action brought upon it although all the original parties are dead, but very clear evidence will be required to sustain it.\n\n## DECISION OF WEN TAI-CHING\n\n### Recovery of Debts\n\nHsü Lang-ching, the plaintiff, is a dealer in cotton from Honan; he supplied some by order to Shin Ai-men and Sun Tuan-cho, and although they have already worked it up into clothes, his money bag is still empty. At the hearing, defendants have no excuse and promise payment. We order them, in addition to be flogged for the greater security of strangers trading here.\n\n## NOTE\n\n- Delay in payment is punishable.\n\n## DECISION OF WEN-TAI-CHING\n\n### Recovery of Debts\n\nIn this case, Wu Shih-cho had obtained an order from the Magistrate Kuo against Tung Yen-ju to pay certain rent claimed, but he still delays payment, and as Yen-ju has no excuse to offer, we direct him to be flogged again for his disobedience.\n\n## NOTE\n\n- If the debtor does not obey the order of Court, he may be brought up again and flogged for disobedience.\n\n## OR. ALABASTER\n\n### SHORT NOTICES OF NEW BOOKS\n\n#### AND LITERARY INTELLIGENCE\n\nGeschichtlicher über Maass und Gewichts-systeme in China und Japan. Bemerkungen über die Theorie der Chinesischen Musik und ihren Zusammenhang mit der Philosophie. Von Dr. G. Wagener. Separat-Abdruck aus dem 12ten Heft der Mittheilungen der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Natur und Völkerkunde Ostasiens in Tokio. 1877.\n\nThe former of the two essays here combined, valuable as it is for students of Japanese weights and measures, offers but little to glean for purely Chinese studies, except the remarks made here en passant concerning the origin of the Chinese theory of music. Whilst tracing back the history of Japanese weights and measures to Chinese sources on the basis of notes supplied to him by a Japanese Sinologist Mr. Vinagawa Noritane, Dr. Wagener hit upon an explanation of Ling lun's system of music which induced him to take up the study of Chinese music and ancient Chinese philosophy in general. The second of the two essays, however, is a most important contribution to the history of Chinese music and philosophy. Dr. Wagener availed himself in these investigations, besides the notes of Mr. Vinagawa Noritane, of the Mémoires concernant les Chinoises, Ganbil's Shooking, MacClatchie's Yih King, and Eitel's Fong-shui, but especially also of the valuable essays of Dr. Müller on Chinese and Japanese music to which we have referred more than once (see China Review, Vol. V., p. 142, 269).\n\nWe have no room here to follow Dr. Wagener at length through his minute disquisitions on the practical origin and scientific development of the Chinese theory of music and on the relation which music bears in China to philosophy, notably to the system of diagrams and numbers, as exhibited in the Yih King, Ho-t'u, and Loh-shu. Some of his deductions are vitiated by erroneous conceptions derived from Canon MacClatchie's Introduction to the Yih King, as for instance the supposition, underlying a great part of Dr. Wagener's argument, that Fuhi had arranged the diagrams in a circle, an arrangement which is the characteristic feature of the modern school of Yih King commentators (founded by circa A.D. 990) and was entirely foreign to the ancient philosophy of China. But, thanks to the information derived from Japanese Sinologists, Dr. Wagener discovered, in several points, the untrustworthiness of Canon MacClatchie's assertions. Thus, for instance, referring to the following note of Canon MacClatchie's (Introd. VI., note 1), \"the original number of Heaven is Three and the original number of Earth is Six; but Heaven always includes Earth which is situated in his centre, and hence the number of Heaven in the Yih King is nine (3+6),\" Dr. Wagener remarks \"this explanation, even if it should have been derived from Chinese authors, is entirely inadmissible, for not the whole trigram of Heaven stands for Nine, but every single... \n\nPage 67\nPage 171",

        "content_text": "502\n\n4\n\nWe extract a few interesting passages from a recent article of the Paris Figaro regarding the Holy Father, Leo XIII, who puts in practice the advice given by an Italian Princess to a King of France: \"Now, my son, you must stitch\" (il faut coudre). The Pope has been stitching for five years with wonderful patience and perseverance. He has desired to bring back the Governments of Europe to himself, and everybody knows how he has succeeded. Envoys, more or less recognised by Mr. Gladstone, ascend the great Vatican staircase side by side with the Ambassador of the German Empire, with the Grand Duke Constantino Nicolavich, the Tsar's uncle, and Russian diplomats, greatly surprised to meet here. The venerable old man may congratulate himself on his work. At the price of what labour he thus guides the bark of Peter to port, we shall see.\n\nThe writer then describes a day of the Pope's life—his early Mass, his audience to the Secretary of State, Cardinal Jacobini, \"of rare political knowledge,\" and to the other Cardinal Secretaries, each of whom has his fixed day; the meagre one o'clock dinner of a plate of soup, one plate of meat, and cheese, lasting only a few minutes; his afternoon walk or ride, utilised in reading the reports of Bishops or Nuncios; his public and private audiences at four p.m.; his reception of Bishops in the evening; and then, at the end of his long day, his hours in his private cabinet: \"then it is that Leo XIII is able to work,\" concludes the writer.\n\nHis personal appearance and manner is thus described:\n\nTall, thin, dry, his face long, pale and wrinkled, Leo XIII is of delicate health, which he takes little care of.\n\nTHE CATHOLIC REGISTER.\n\nHONGKONG RATES OF POSTAGE.\n\nREVISED JANUARY, 1883.\n\nIn the following Statements and Tables the Rates are given in cents, and are, for letters per half ounce, for Books and Patterns, per two ounces.\n\nNewspapers over four ounces in weight are charged as double, treble, etc., as the case may be, but such papers or packets of papers may be sent at Book Rate. Two Newspapers must not be folded together as one, nor must anything whatever be inserted except loose file Supplements. Printed matter may, however, be enclosed, if the whole be paid at Book Rate. Price Current may be paid either as Newspapers or Books.\n\nCommercial Papers signify such papers as, though written by hand, do not bear the character of an actual or personal correspondence, such as invoices, deeds, copied music, &c. The charge on them is the same as for books, but, whatever the weight of a packet containing any partially written paper, it will not be charged less than 5 cents.\n\nThe sender of any Registered Article may accompany it with a Return Receipt on paying an extra fee of 5 cents.\n\nCommercial Papers to Foreign Post Offices is 4 oz. Patterns for such offices are limited to 8 ounces, and must not exceed these dimensions: 8 inches by 6 inches by 2 inches.\n\nCOUNTRIES OF THE POSTAL UNION.\n\nThe Union may be taken to comprise Europe, all foreign possessions in Asia, Japan, W. Africa, Egypt, Mauritius, N. America, Mexico, Salvador, Brazil, Peru, Chili, Venezuela, the Argentine Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad, Guiana, Honduras, Bermuda, French, Netherlands, Portuguese and Spanish Colonies.\n\nCountries NOT in the Union.---The chief countries not in the Union are the Australasian Group, and S. Africa.\n\nPOSTAGE TO UNION COUNTRIES.\n\nGeneral Rate, by any route:\n\nLetters,......... 10 cents per 1 oz.\n\nPost Cards...... 2 cents each.\n\nNewspapers, ............ 2 cents each.\n\nBooks, Patterns and Commercial Papers,\n\n2 cents per 2 oz.\n\nRegistration, ............ 10 cents.\n\nThere is no charge on redirected correspondence within the Postal Union.\n\nHis austerity is extreme. The spiritual sovereign of over 200 millions of Catholics does not spend £100 a month for his table. His highly-developed nervous system alone enables him to resist the fatigues of his vast occupations and labours. Sometimes he appears dejected or exhausted. Some of good news brought by telegram gives him new life. He is always grave and solemn, always the Pope. The Italians describe his exterior by the word \"ceremonious.\" Gravity is inherent in his nature. His contemporaries recognised this when he was a boy. He never abandons himself, and is not easily provoked to laughter. He would be thought severe, were it not that he tempers the solemnity of his address with the patient attention with which he listens without interrupting those who speak to him.... Leo XIII speaks with the same slowness as the Archbishop of Paris. If the Pope and the Cardinal have not received the gifts of the orator, they are, on the other hand, writers.\n\nIt is stated that not only does his Holiness submit his letters and encyclicals to the Sacred College, but he listens to advice, and frequently after long discussion, entirely re-casts encyclicals he has prepared. As he sleeps badly, he often spends hours in the night in writing these documents. Finally, the Italian ex-Minister Bonghi, said of Leo XIII, that he was \"one of the most evenly-balanced and most vigorous of characters: one who has realised the idea of a Cardinal as traced by St. Bernard.\"\n\nThere was hanged at Steinamanger, in Hungary, a peasant woman from Szordabely, named Lyukas Kathi, the perpetrator of a series of crimes which had excited universal horror. The criminal was fifty-two years of age, short in stature, and of a placid aspect.

        "content_text": "## REGINA v. LOGAN.\n\nkept lifting the revolver up and down from his side, but he did not use it. We went as far as Hing Kee's.\n\nWere you on or near the bridge together once or more than once that morning?-Only once.\n\nDid you see any Chinese woman near the prisoner's house asking him to cure her?-That was after we came back. After we went to Hing Kee's we returned to Mr. Logan's house. When we got back there I did not see Neilson still there.\n\nThe whole of that morning did you see Neilsen with any firearms?-No.\n\nDid you yourself at any time that morning use firearms?-No.\n\nWhen you got back to the prisoner's house from Hing Kee's what happened?-When we got to Mr. Logan's house I saw an old woman at the door.\n\nWas there anything the matter with her that you saw?-She said she was wounded, and I think she was wounded in the left shoulder. She said some people told her that she had been wounded by Mr. Logan; she was telling this in Chinese to a Chinese woman in the house. Mrs. Logan (the Chinese woman) said to Mr. Logan that the woman had been wounded by English. Mrs. Logan said nothing else. Mr. Logan said \"She may have been wounded somewhere else; tell her to go away.\"\n\nDid he do anything to her; did she go away?-I do not know, both I and Mr. Logan went into the house.\n\nDid anything else happen there while the woman was there?-No.\n\nWere there any Chinese about while the woman was speaking?-There were a few.\n\nWhen you went into the house what happened?-We sat down and the two revolvers were put upon the table. I picked up the white-handled revolver, and I asked Mr. Logan if I could draw the charges because it was not necessary to use them. He said \"yes.\" I took the revolver in my hand and I tried to open it by the back spring, but I could not. I asked Mr. Logan then if I might fire it off into a pond behind his house. He said \"yes,\" and I went to the back verandah and Mr. Logan came and stood beside me and I fired off I think five shots from the revolver. Then I handed the revolver to Mr. Logan, who laid it on the table. Then he said afterwards-\"I must load it again in case they attack me again after you are gone,\" and he did so.\n\nAfter you got into the house did you or the prisoner fire any barrels of the black revolver?-No.\n\nWas it reloaded by the prisoner in your presence?-No.\n\nNot counting the shots you fired into the pond how many shots did you hear?-I only heard one, when Mr. Logan fired in the street.\n\nCan you give us any idea of how the woman was wounded?-I do not know.\n\nWhen you got near the prisoner's house first there was a mob east and west of it?-Yes, on both sides.\n\nWhat chased away the mob to the west? You have said you chased those to the east.-I do not know, I was at the east all the time.\n\nAre you quite sure it was a revolver the prisoner had in his hand?-Yes it was the black revolver; he fired with it.\n\nYou have told us that two or three times you tried to persuade the prisoner not to make use of firearms?-Yes.\n\nThen you did not think there was any danger of your lives?-It was dangerous at first when the mob were throwing stones, but then they ran.\n\nWhen he was on bridge did you think so?-I thought it dangerous to fire, and I told him not to do so.\n\nDid you think at the time there was any necessity for firing?\n\nMr. Wise objected to the question:\n\nHis Lordship-That is not a proper question. Ask him what they were doing and let the jury draw their inference.\n\nMr. Francis-What was the crowd doing when he fired?-They were running away.\n\nWas anyone attacking you?-No, they were not attacking him nor me; they were singing out \"ta ta.\"\n\nWas there any attack made on the house while you were in it?-No.\n\nDo you remember clearly everything that passed that day, or not?-I remember nearly everything that happened.\n\nHow long was it after you left Neilsen's house at half-past six that you went to Hing Kee's?-I think it was about a quarter to seven.\n\nDo you remember seeing the Chinese boy or the Chinese woman you call Mrs. Logan that morning?-She was there when I saw the old woman. I did not see the black revolver loaded by anyone.\n\nDid the prisoner go on the bridge more than once?-I did not see him more than once.\n\nCould he have gone on the bridge before six o'clock?-I cannot say. I ought to have seen him if he had because he must have gone past me.\n\nDo you recollect seeing a Parsee and were you and Logan talking to him that morning on the bridge?-No.\n\nHave you any recollection of a dog being struck in the street?-No.\n\nWas the prisoner's door open or shut when you first arrived?-I don't recollect.\n\nI have no recollection while I was in the street of hearing anyone asking what was the matter.\n\nThere are other Europeans living in the same street close to the prisoner's house.\n\nLogan did not go away into the eastward after speaking to the old woman; he went right upstairs.\n\nCan you tell us if there were any stones or bricks inside the prisoner's house?-There were some stones in there, but I don't know how they got there. Logan's front door opens into an empty room.\n\nThe greater part of the time since the 12th August I have been in prison here, in the same cell with Neilsen and the prisoner at first, and when Neilsen went away, Logan and I were together.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Wise-Did you not say you did not see how the prisoner got the revolver?\n\nWitness-Yes. I did not see him load it. I went on duty on the `Kiang Ping`, at eight o'clock on Saturday morning, and remained there till twelve that night.\n\nHave you any idea of what Neilson was struggling with Chinese about?-No, but I have been told by Chinese that he kicked a dog. I am quite sure Neilsen had a blue coat and trousers on.\n\nDid you see the prisoner strike any coolies with a stick that morning?-No.\n\nShow me how Logan used this revolver that morning.\n\nWitness showed, pointing the revolver slightly upwards from the level of his face.\n\nDid Logan kneel down?-No.\n\nAre you sure?-Yes. Logan said nothing about frightening the Chinese when he said they were firing at him. I left Neilson at Logan's house, and when I came back from Hing Kee's he was gone.\n\nWitness-He went towards the bridge, but I did not see him go beyond Matsen's house.\n\nHow did Mr. Logan get the watchmen into trouble?-Some Chinese broke into his house about a week before and stole things and then Mr. Logan reported it and got the watchmen into trouble.\n\nA juryman-Do you know any of those watchmen who got into trouble?\n\nWitness-No.\n\nDid you go on board the `Kiang Ping` at eight in the morning, and remain till twelve at night?-Yes we board at Macao, and come up with her. Nothing is given us to eat on board.\n\nHis Lordship-Then why do you not take something? Have you any firearms in your house?\n\nWitness-No.\n\nHad Neilson any?-I do not know.\n\nHad the prisoner any besides those revolvers?-I did not see any.\n\nDid you see any other firearm in the street that day?-No.\n\nDid you not hear more than one report?-No.\n\n## 23\n\nMr. Theodore Bliss Cunningham said-I am an American subject, of the firm of Messrs. Russell & Co., and am Vice Consul for Sweden and Norway. The man Neilson was released here, and has gone to Shanghai. I have not seen him here since. I was present in court here with Dr. Hance during the preliminary investigation. I saw a revolver very like the black one produced at that examination. I put a little bit of silk handkerchief into the muzzle of it at the time, and the result was it was blackened, and I concluded from that the pistol had been fired since it had been cleaned.\n\nMr. Francis-Can you say whether it had been recently fired or not?\n\nWitness-I could not form an opinion.\n\nHow long were you going from the bridge to Hing Kee's and back?-About ten minutes.\n\nYou say there was a mob to the east and a mob to the west. Can you guess how that mob was caused?-I don't know, but when we went upstairs we were talking the matter over, I said, \"There will be some trouble about this\" and Logan said, \"I cannot help it; the Chinese have been breaking into my house, and stolen my property, and now they commence to stone me.\" He also said \"It is through those watchmen, because I have got them into trouble.\"\n\nWhere was Neilsen when you were first in the street?-He was with the crowd to the west.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Wise-The preliminary examination before the Consul lasted several days. I do not recollect the date Neilsen went to Shanghai.\n\nWhen you saw this crowd collecting were you frightened at first?-Yes, I was frightened at first.\n\nWas anyone hit besides yourself in this stone throwing?-Mr. Neilsen was hit.\n\nRe-examined by the Crown Advocate. Did Neilson go towards the bridge that day?\n\nMr. Wise said he wished to know it, and the matter being looked up, it was found Neilson was called as a witness at the preliminary hearing on the 31st August, and left Canton early in September.\n\n## 26\n\nSit Ming Kuk, being sworn as a Christian, said in English-I am a Chinese subject, and am an older in Nam Ngon-street, where I have...",

        "content_text": "HIS LORD BISHOP:-Gentlemen, we have now arrived at the end of another year, and I have to make a statement to you with regard to the work that has been done during the past twelve months. The number of boys in the school has been 44, and the average attendance 40. We have to deplore the loss by death of one of our boys, and also the withdrawal of several, some on account of ill-health, and some because their parents have left the Colony. We have, however, gained several new boys, and I think on the whole the numbers have been fairly maintained. The work of the school has been, I think, very satisfactory. The boys have worked well, and the masters have worked well too. We have had our usual routine of classes and examinations, and I am glad to say that the results have been very encouraging.\n\nIn addition to these we hope next year to teach Chinese and Latin. Boys who are growing up here will not be able to find employment in government offices unless they are acquainted with Chinese. I found that the want of this branch here has been the means of carrying off some of our elder boys to the Central School, and there they are put with Chinese boys to learn Chinese. I do not know exactly how it is done, but if it is anything after the fashion of Chinese teaching I think it absolutely useless for us. An entirely different system is wanted for the teaching of Chinese to English boys, and to put our boys with fifty or sixty Chinese all yelling out the Chinese classics at the top of their voices is simply useless. I have, therefore, engaged a teacher to commence next term with a class of some seven or eight boys whose parents have agreed to let them join such a class, making a small extra payment for it. The Chinaman does not know English, but the boys will have books that will contain both the English and Chinese. They will begin by learning the system of reading Chinese and also to write the Chinese character. They will learn the sounds and write them down in their own English character. They will therefore have the sounds and they will have books to give them the meaning, so I hope we shall be able to train boys not only educated in the branches of an English education but in Chinese too. Latin also will be taught, the language so much needed by all of us who want to know our own language.\n\nThe work that has been done this term has been examined most kindly by Mr. Jennings, Mr. Ost, Mr. Lee, Mr. Coughtrie, and myself. I have done very little indeed. I have so much work that I have had no more than time to examine in scripture. The Bishop then read a letter from Mr. Ost giving the result of the examination, and went on to say—I don't think I ought to close without thanking, in the name of the Committee, Mr. and Mrs. Hambling for their exertions during the year that has closed. I have had every reason to be satisfied with their work, which I believe to be thoroughly and conscientiously done, and I think we are exceedingly fortunate in having them at the head of the school. (Applause).\n\nAnd now, Sir, it remains for me only to ask your Excellency kindly to take the meeting in hand, and after your remarks, if you wish to make them first, to distribute the prizes to the boys. Yes, there is one thing more. The prizes have to be paid for. They cost $100. I have received $25. I shall be glad if friends will make this up so that the money shall not be taken out of the general funds of the school.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY:-My Lord Bishop, ladies and gentlemen, I am sure you all, like myself, have listened with very much pleasure to the very interesting remarks that have just fallen from the Bishop. As for myself, though still suffering, as the Bishop has said, from a severe accident, it gave me great pleasure to accept the invitation to preside here on this important and interesting occasion. It will always be alike my duty and my pleasure, in this, as in other colleges over which I have presided, to promote, by every means in my power, the great cause of education. (Applause).\n\nBefore proceeding to distribute the prizes, I will make a few remarks, in the first place, to the masters and professors in this and other colleges and schools in Hong-kong, for I speak to all, and, secondly, to the scholars whom I see before me. The true position of the instructors of youth has been laid down for all time in those beautiful and well-known verses of the Latin poet Juvenal:—\n\n\"Di majorum umbris et jus pondere terram,\n\nSpinatosque deos, et inania perpetuum ver,\n\nQui preceptorem sancti volera parentis\n\nHabeo.\"\n\nIn other words \"The preceptor should hold the holy place of father.\" I am sure the masters of this and the other colleges in Hong Kong will allow me to exhort them to follow the practice of one of the greatest teachers, perhaps the greatest, of any age or nation—I mean Dr. Arnold, who said that the master should ever seek to keep adding to his own stores of knowledge, so that \"the pupils may drink not from a stagnant pond, but from a fresh running stream.\" (Applause).\n\nDr. Arnold, you will recollect, was not only one of the greatest teachers of any place or age, but one who did much to exalt and ennoble the scholastic profession, both by his teaching and his general bearing. As for the scholars of many races who will be educated now and henceforward, in this and other institutions of a like kind, I would exhort them to prove by their diligence, energy, and good conduct, their appreciation of the many advantages secured for them by the wise liberality of the Colonial Government and Legislature and here by the liberality of many generous friends of education in this community.\n\nI will remind them, moreover, that I have notified publicly that the first appointments in the public service will be given by competitive examination, without distinction of race or creed. I am also about to propose to the Colonial Legislature that here, as in several other Crown Colonies, two or more young men chosen from the best scholars of the several colleges shall be periodically sent at the public expense to complete their education in Europe as members of the legal or medical professions or as civil engineers. (Applause).\n\nThese are the professions that will enable them to succeed best in life both in Hongkong, in the various settlements at the treaty ports, and hereafter probably, in the great neighbouring country, the empire of China. (Applause). You will thus perceive the future success in life of every pupil will depend mainly on his own energy and perseverance. Dr. Arnold once observed that in his long experience he had found that one boy does not differ from another so much in talent as in energy and perseverance. I exhort you to spare no effort to acquire a thorough knowledge of the English language, which, like the English race, is fast overspreading the world. 100 millions of the human race already speak the English language as their mother tongue, whereas not more than 40 millions speak the other two European languages most diffused after the English, namely, French and German.\n\nA French author said to an Englishman, a friend of mine, that if he were to begin to write again, he would write not in French, but in English, for a century hence that language will be spoken by 300 millions probably, whereas French will probably remain stationary. My remarks hitherto have been applicable generally to all colleges and schools in Hongkong.\n\nI am sure, ladies and gentlemen, as I have already said, we all listened with much interest to the remarks of the Bishop with respect to the special objects of St. Paul's College, under the roof of which we are now assembled. It is evident there must be in this Colony many English children whom, for various reasons, their parents do not desire to send home for their education, and it is most desirable that they should have an opportunity of being educated under the nurture of the church of their fathers and under the supervision of our Bishop. (Applause).\n\nIn conclusion, I would repeat that I believe we may reckon on finding in the whole body of masters here and elsewhere a conscientious zeal in the discharge of their important duties. Still, with whatever care and attention the studies may be chosen and directed, the successful result must rest mainly on the scholars themselves. My young friends, by every motive which can influence reflecting and responsible beings, by regard for your own welfare and happiness in this world, by the fear of future discredit, by the hope of future fame and success, by motives yet more urgent, by nobler and purer aspirations, by the duty and obedience we owe to the will of our Creator, by the awful account which we shall all have to render of the talents entrusted to us for improvement, by these high arguments, I exhort you and all of you so to number your days that you may apply your hearts unto wisdom.\" (Loud Applause).\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY then distributed the prizes as follows:---\n\nCLASS I.\n\nF. Shepherd. Reading, Composition, Algebra, Geology, History, Grammar, and Physiology.\n\nA. Möller. Arithmetic, Euclid, Physiology, Map Drawing, Freehand, Landscape, Geography, and Time Drawing.\n\nJ.

Il n'a fait l'objet d'aucun vote. Il est supprimé par prétérition.\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\npas moins pris sans retard toutes les mesures en son pouvoir.\n\nJ'ai immédiatement donné l'ordre d'expédier les transports qui doivent emporter les troupes en vertu de la loi que vous avez votée, et je me suis cru autorisé dans cette circonstance à ne pas attendre votre nouveau vote. (Très bien ! très bien !)\n\nJ'ai donné l'ordre, en outre, d'envoyer au Tonkin un officier général des plus distingués de l'infanterie de marine, le général Brière de l'Isle, commandant militaire de Cochinchine. C'est lui qui va prendre le commandement supérieur des troupes du Tonkin.\n\nLa commission du Sénat a élevé, contre cette partie de la loi que vous avez votée, des critiques sur le mérite desquelles le Sénat n'a, en effet, pas eu à se prononcer, puisque l'article 2 a été retiré avant le vote.\n\nJ'ai ensuite prévenu M. Thomson qu'il devait envoyer au Tonkin toutes les troupes dont il peut disposer, en l'avertissant que le Bien-Hoa, qui fait le service ordinaire et qui arrivera le 20 juin, lui amènera 450 hommes de renfort, ce qui lui permet de disposer dès à présent de 450 hommes qu'il pourra envoyer immédiatement au Tonkin avec la certitude qu'ils seront remplacés à bref délai.\n\nA cours de la discussion qui a eu lieu devant l'autre Assemblée, le ministre a abandonné l'article 2, mais il l'a défendu contre les attaques mal fondées, du reste, dont il était l'objet, et il a reproduit les déclarations qui en faisaient l'objet.\n\nCes circonstances ont paru à l'unanimité de votre commission, moins une voix, constituer une garantie suffisante et de nature à permettre sans inconvénient de supprimer le texte de l'article 2, dont l'esprit subsiste avec toute son efficacité pratique. (Très bien ! très bien ! à gauche.)\n\nJe dois faire connaître à la Chambre que, depuis l'ouverture de la séance, la commission s'est réunie et a reçu de M. le ministre de la marine une communication qui doit être connue de tous.\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. C'est au Gouvernement à faire cette communication !\n\nM. Blancsubé. Je suis autorisé à la faire de la part du Gouvernement, à moins toutefois que M. le ministre de la marine ne préfère la faire lui-même.\n\nVoix nombreuses. Oui ! oui !\n\nM. Charles Brun, ministre de la marine et des colonies. Je suis aux ordres de la Chambre. (Parlez ! parlez !)\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. le ministre de la marine et des colonies.\n\nM. le ministre de la marine et des colonies. Messieurs, le Gouvernement a reçu ce matin une dépêche dont je vais vous donner lecture, et qui a été déposée hier à cinq heures du soir à Saigon ; elle m'est adressée par M. l'amiral Meyer, commandant la division navale de la Chine, en ce moment sur les côtes du Tonkin. Elle est ainsi conçue :\n\nJ'apprends à l'instant la nouvelle d'une sortie malheureuse à Hanoi. Commandant Rivière tué. Officier supérieur mortellement blessé. Renforts considérables indispensables. 14 hommes tués, 22 blessés dans les compagnies de débarquement.\n\nJe me rends à Haï-Phong pour diriger renforts et organiser défense.\n\nLe Gouvernement avait reçu, il y a huit jours, une dépêche qui lui annonçait que cette sortie devait avoir lieu. M. Rivière faisait savoir qu'entouré par de nombreuses bandes anamites qui envoyaient sur Hanoi des coups de fusil et des coups de canon, il croyait nécessaire de se dégager par une sortie. Il n'avait avec lui que 400 hommes, ce qui était insuffisant pour le lui permettre. C'est alors qu'il a demandé à l'amiral Meyer l'appui des compagnies de débarquement.\n\nLe commandant Rivière ne demandait ces compagnies que pour quelques jours, et il semblait complètement assuré du résultat.\n\nNous attendons en ce moment des renseignements complémentaires.\n\nLa dépêche, comme vous le voyez, est extrêmement brève.\n\nTelles sont les mesures qui ont pu être prises dès à présent.\n\nEn présence des événements qui viennent de s'accomplir, le Gouvernement vous demande, messieurs, de discuter immédiatement le projet de loi qui revient du Sénat et de l'adopter sans discussion. (Nombreuses marques d'assentiment.)\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je demande la parole.\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Je demande la parole.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. Perin.\n\nM. Cuneo d'Ornano. Le Gouvernement n'a pas dit un mot de regret pour le commandant Rivière !\n\nM. le président. Ne prenez pas la parole sans l'avoir obtenue, monsieur Cuneo d'Ornano.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Messieurs, la triste nouvelle que M. le ministre de la marine vient de nous apporter relativement aux événements du Tonkin modifie sans doute la résolution de ceux de nos honorables collègues qui avaient cru devoir refuser le crédit, il y a quelques jours. (Applaudissements à gauche.)\n\nNotre liberté d'action, je l'estime, du moins quant à moi, n'est plus entière ; il ne s'agit plus en ce moment de savoir si nous devons occuper ou non le Tonkin.\n\nIl s'agit de tout autre chose : un devoir strict s'impose à la Chambre, c'est celui d'aller au secours des soldats français qui, à l'heure où je parle, sont engagés au Tonkin, et qui y seraient plus qu'engagés, qui seraient probablement perdus, si nous n'envoyions des troupes de renfort. (Nouveaux applaudissements à gauche.)\n\nJe crois que le Gouvernement comprendra la nécessité de faire toute diligence, et il ne faut pas qu'il rencontre d'obstacle du côté du Parlement.\n\nNous devons, messieurs, aller venger la mort du commandant Rivière et de ceux qui sont tombés vaillamment à ses côtés ; du commandant Rivière, officier distingué entre tous... (Applaudissements prolongés sur tous les bancs.)\n\nM. Haentjens. Le Gouvernement n'a pas eu un mot de sympathie pour les soldats tués. (C'est vrai à droite. — Murmures à gauche.)\n\nM. Georges Perin, se tournant vers la droite. Je suis surpris que mes honorables collègues de ce côté de la Chambre ne se contentent pas d'applaudir aux paroles que je viens de prononcer à propos du commandant Rivière et croient devoir reprocher au Gouvernement un silence... (Oui ! oui ! à droite) qui était le résultat de l'émotion bien naturelle...\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nVoix à gauche. C'est cela ! c'est évident !\n\nM. Georges Perin. Préoccupé de vous annoncer les graves et tristes événements qui viennent de se passer au Tonkin, très ému, je le répète, M. le ministre de la marine a négligé de reproduire ici l'éloge du commandant Rivière, éloge qui avait été déjà fait et par M. le ministre des affaires étrangères et par M. le ministre de la marine lui-même, éloge qui, d'ailleurs, était dans l'esprit de tous. Ne lui en faites pas un crime. (Applaudissements à gauche.)\n\nVoix à droite. C'était un devoir pour le Gouvernement de le faire.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Vraiment, dans ces circonstances, je crois qu'il est meilleur, qu'il est plus patriotique, permettez-moi de le dire, mes chers collègues, de nous unir tous (Très bien ! très bien !) pour déclarer qu'un grand devoir s'impose au Parlement : aller sans retard au secours de nos soldats en danger, venger la mort de ceux qui ont succombé et, entre tous, de cet officier de mérite, de cet homme distingué qui avait su, depuis quinze mois, au milieu des difficultés les plus grandes, sauvegarder notre situation au Tonkin, montrant dans l'accomplissement de sa tâche autant d'énergie que d'habileté et de prudence. Cette mort est, surtout à l'heure actuelle, une grande perte, et je la déplore profondément. (Applaudissements.)\n\nCeci dit, je n'ajouterai qu'un mot : c'est que ceux de mes honorables collègues qui n'ont pas voté primitivement le crédit et qui le voteront aujourd'hui ne le voteront pas parce que leur opinion se sera modifiée quant au fond. (Très bien à droite et sur quelques bancs à gauche)\n\nPour moi, messieurs, mon opinion est la même, et les malheureux événements qui viennent de se produire me donnent, hélas ! raison plus tôt que je ne croyais. (Réclamations sur quelques bancs à gauche.)\n\nJ'estime plus que jamais que l'expédition au Tonkin est plus complexe, plus difficile qu'on ne paraissait le croire, mais je me garde bien de revenir sur cette question.\n\nIl s'agit en ce moment de secourir nos soldats, de dégager notre pavillon. Sur ce terrain, il ne saurait y avoir de désaccord entre les membres de cette Chambre et je suis convaincu que tous nous voterons le crédit demandé. (Vifs applaudissements.)\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. Jules Delafosse. (Exclamations à gauche. — Parlez ! parlez ! à droite.)\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Messieurs, j'ai combattu, de concert avec l'honorable M. Perin, le crédit qui vous était demandé pour l'expédition du Tonkin. Je ne prends aujourd'hui la parole que pour m'associer à la déclaration... (Interruptions à gauche)\n\nAnnée 1885\n\n311\n\navec la Chine... (Exclamations à gauche. Très bien à droite.) ...parce que je crois que c'est de là que vient l'échec, et que c'est là qu'est le danger (Très bien à droite. - Aux voix ! aux voix !)\n\nM. le président. Je mets aux voix la clôture de la discussion générale.\n\nM. Blancsubé, rapporteur. Je demande la parole.\n\nVoix nombreuses. La clôture ! la clôture !\n\nM. le rapporteur. Je voudrais faire, moi aussi, une déclaration. (Non ! non ! - La clôture !)\n\nM. le président. Vous la ferez sur l'article 1er.\n\nM. le rapporteur, de sa place. Permettez-moi d'insister. Tout à l'heure, j'ai été interrompu, on a désiré que M. le ministre donnât lui-même connaissance à la Chambre d'un fait communiqué à la commission. Cette communication à la commission a fait tomber une opposition que j'avais maintenue jusqu'à présent en ce qui concerne l'article 2 du projet de loi. (Très bien ! - Aux voix !)\n\nM. le président. Je consulte la Chambre sur la clôture de la discussion générale.\n\nLa clôture de la discussion générale est mise aux voix et prononcée. -- La Chambre décide ensuite qu'elle passe à la discussion des articles.\n\nArt. 1er. - Il est ouvert au ministre de la marine et des colonies, au titre du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883, un crédit supplémentaire de 5,300,000 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(L'article 1 est mis aux voix et adopté.)\n\nArt. 2. Le ministre de la marine et des colonies rendra compte, chaque année, à partir du 31 décembre 1883, des opérations auxquelles donnera lieu le service du Tonkin, au moyen d'un rapport adressé au Président de la République et distribué au Sénat et à la Chambre des députés. » - (Adopté.)\n\nIl est procédé, sur l'ensemble du projet de loi, à un scrutin public dont le dépouillement donne le résultat suivant :\n\nNombre des votants.. 494\n\nMajorité absolue......... 248\n\nPour l'adoption................ 494\n\nContre...... 0\n\nLa Chambre des députés a adopté.\n\nSUITE DE LA DISCUSSION DU PROJET ET DES PROPOSITIONS DE LOI SUR LA RÉFORME DE L'ORGANISATION JUDICIAIRE.\n\nM. le président. L'ordre du jour appelle la suite de la discussion du projet et des propositions de loi sur la réforme de l'organisation judiciaire.\n\nM. le président. Messieurs, veuillez faire silence. Qu'y a-t-il, je vous prie de le remarquer, de plus noble et j'ajouterai de plus utile que ce qui se passe en ce moment...\n\nLa parole est à M. le garde des sceaux.\n\nM. Martin-Feuillée, garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice et des cultes. Messieurs, je... (Applaudissements), à savoir, la constatation, l'unanimité de la Chambre... (Nouveaux applaudissements) : Gouvernement, opposition, majorité, minorité, pour envoyer le témoignage de notre admiration à ceux qui ont si vaillamment combattu pour la France ? (Vifs applaudissements.)\n\nJe cueille ce témoignage, de quelque part qu'il vienne, et arrivez promptement au vote du projet de loi. (Marques d'assentiment.)\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Messieurs, les paroles de l'honorable président de la Chambre dispensent de m'expliquer plus longuement... (Interruptions à droite. --- Applaudissements sur plusieurs bancs à gauche.)\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je vous demande la parole.\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Je pense que l'honorable M. Ribot, comme M. le ministre de la marine...

Après le bombardement des forts de l'embouchure de la rivière à Thuapan et dans les environs, bombardement qui avait duré pendant les journées des 18 et 19, le 20 fut employé à enlever les forts du Nord et ceux de l'intérieur de la baie.\n\nDès le 20, au soir, les Annamites demandèrent la cessation des hostilités après avoir combattu avec un courage remarquable et digne d'un meilleur succès. La nuit du 20 au 21, les forts du Sud étaient évacués sous les yeux des envoyés de Hué qui constataient leur occupation, sans coup férir, par les Français. Nos pertes étaient à un matelot du Bazard, apparemment blessé, et à un officier, M. de Cairsoo, frappé d'une balle à la cuisse.\n\nLes Français, après le combat, durent donner la sépulture à 700 morts annamites. Ils évaluent à environ 400 ceux dont ils ont vu les tombes élevées dans les rizières; des cadavres nombreux sont, en outre, charriés par la mer et le Chateau-Renault en a trouvé encore à Tourne. Les Annamites avouent 1,300 morts. Il faut, en outre, compter 300 prisonniers.\n\nLors des négociations, les envoyés de Hué déclarèrent que deux faits surtout les avaient vivement frappés : l'ardeur mise par les Brailleurs annamites à combattre dans les rangs français et le débarquement des coolies venus de Saigon pour faire les charrois, fait dont ils ont conclu que toute la population était avec nous, ce qui leur a fait perdre tout espoir.\n\nLes clauses des préliminaires de paix acceptés de part et d'autre sont des plus nettes et des plus précises.\n\nLes Annamites voulaient bien nous abandonner en toute propriété le Tonkin, dans les mêmes conditions que la Basse-Cochinchine, et insistaient même pour le faire à la condition que nous renoncerions à toute prétention sur Raé et l'Annam.\n\nD'un commun accord, les deux représentants de la France refusèrent, et il fut stipulé qu'au Tonkin nous aurions la haute direction de l'administration, la suzeraineté de l'Annam étant nominalement maintenue et, pour nous servir de l'expression même du texte officiel, que la France ferait ce qu'elle voudrait au Tonkin.\n\nEn Annam, la situation est autre. Le représentant de la France y aura le contrôle notamment des finances, de la justice, des travaux publics; surveillera le recrutement et la composition de l'armée; en outre, dirigera directement les douanes établies par la France seule dans les ports ouverts et représentera seul l'Annam vis-à-vis des puissances étrangères.\n\nA ce sujet, un incident se produisit : les mandarins demandèrent qu'une mention spéciale fût faite relativement à la situation de l'Annam vis-à-vis de la Chine, et, sur leur demande expresse, il fut inséré une clause spécifiant que ni la France ni l'Annam ne reconnaissaient à la Chine aucun droit de suzeraineté ou de protection.\n\nLe courrier nous apporte des nouvelles du 20 août pour le Tonkin et du 4 septembre pour la Cochinchine.\n\nVoici d'abord des détails sur le combat des 13 et 16 août :\n\nLe 15 août, à trois heures du matin, trois colonnes de 600 hommes chacune partirent avec de l'artillerie en proportion. La colonne de droite était commandée par le lieutenant-colonel Bichot, celle de gauche par le lieutenant-colonel Revillon, et celle du centre par le lieutenant-colonel Coronnat, le tout sous les ordres du général Bouët.\n\nLe combat s'engagea dès que l'on fut en vue. C'était sur le champ de bataille du 1er mai. Les cinq villages fortifiés dont le feu avait été si funeste à la colonne du commandant Rivière furent pris maison par maison; une grande partie des Chinois qui les occupaient furent tués ou brûlés dans les cases incendiées par nos obus.\n\nLes abords du Phu-Hai ou notre possession, le fort lui-même fut moins de résistance; on y trouva plusieurs canons et des drapeaux.\n\nRepoussant plus loin sur la route de Son-Tay, on se trouva arrêté par un immense ouvrage en terre, flanqué de retranchements et de redoutes en grand nombre.\n\nLa France s'engage à défendre l'Annam contre toute résurrection de ces antiques prétentions de la Chine.\n\nLes mandarins ont demandé que, au cas où le vinh phuoc, le chef des Pavillons-Noirs, tomberait entre les mains des Français, on le fit exécuter, non au lieu de sa capture, mais à Hué même, sous les yeux des grands mandarins et qu'on fit en même temps exécuter un certain nombre de ses soldats. C'est, d'après eux, le seul moyen de prouver à l'Annam de renoncer à se servir de pareils auxiliaires.\n\nLe principe de l'ouverture des ports au commerce n'est pas étendu d'une manière générale à toute la côte annamite. Les ports à ouvrir seront nominativement désignés au traité. Jusqu'à présent, c'est le cap Padaran, nouvelle frontière de la Basse-Cochinchine et la frontière tonkinoise, il est seulement stipulé l'ouverture des ports de Quinhon, Tourane et Huon Dat; mais, comme ce point de détail est réservé pour le traité définitif, nous espérons qu'on n'omettra pas de stipuler aussi l'ouverture des ports de Camrong, Hon-Khu, Tai-Quit et Con-mong, ce dernier surtout qui rivalise avec Quinhon pour le trafic du Binh-dinh et l'exportation du sel.\n\nLe lendemain, 16 août, on fut forcé de battre en retraite, non devant les Chinois, mais devant l'eau qui envahissait nos positions de toutes parts. Les digues du fleuve étaient rompues et force nous fut de rentrer à Hanoi, sauf la colonne du lieutenant-colonel Bichot, qui se replia et se fortifia dans une grande pagode dite des Quatre-Colonnes, cette pagode se trouve sur le fleuve et commande la route de Son-Tay qui fait un coude à cet endroit et qu'on avait conquise sur l'ennemi la veille.\n\nNos soldats rentrèrent à Hanoi, clairons en tête, avec les pavillons pris à l'ennemi, et aux acclamations de la population annamite attentive.\n\nTous puissants, les souverains de Hué eurent devoir détacher de la vice-royauté tonkinoise une partie de l'ancien territoire pour faire une province royale partie intégrante de l'empire.\n\nLes négociateurs français firent remarquer que le protectorat français devait porter sur tout l'ancien royaume du Tonkin et qu'il était essentiel de revenir à l'ancienne frontière naturelle. Cette clause fut acceptée après de longues hésitations.\n\nCe succès a été d'un grand effet; nos troupes ont été admirables, officiers comme soldats; ces derniers, presque tous des jeunes gens qui ont à peine quelques mois de service, ont essuyé le feu terrible des Chinois sans broncher.\n\nLes trois colonnes ont rivalisé de bravoure; celles de droite et de gauche marchèrent l'une sur la route de Son-Tay, l'autre sur la digue, tandis que celle du centre traversait les rizières avec de l'eau jusqu'au ventre; elle a fait 10 kilomètres et est tombée à l'improviste sur l'ennemi, qui ne la voyait pas et qui concentrait toutes ses forces contre les deux autres colonnes, ne s'attendant pas à voir les Français arriver à travers la plaine inondée et sous une pluie de balles.\n\nLes tirailleurs annamites se sont très vaillamment comportés; les Drapeaux-Jaunes de même, mais ils tiennent moins bien feu que les tirailleurs; l'artillerie a été très éprouvée, elle a fait beaucoup de mal à l'ennemi.\n\nLes pertes, quoique sérieuses, sont minimes en comparaison de celles de l'ennemi évaluées à 350 morts et à environ 900 blessés, surtout quand on songe qu'il a fallu prendre plusieurs villages fortifiés et des redoutes défendues par des forces considérables.\n\nUn différend surgit encore au sujet de la frontière qui doit séparer l'Annam du Tonkin. Autrefois, lorsque le Tonkin était constitué en un royaume séparé, il s'étendait jusqu'à la ligne frontière de Toung-Khêa, comprenant ainsi en dehors de la province de Nghe-An, une partie de celle de Quan-Dinh. Après le renversement des Chua et l'annexion du Tonkin à l'empire annamite, quoique la frontière naturelle formée par les montagnes de Voung-Khoua eût été renforcée par une muraille et des fortifications très puissantes, les souverains de Hué eurent devoir de détacher de la vice-royauté tonkinoise une partie de l'ancien territoire pour faire une province royale partie intégrante de l'empire.\n\nTu-Duc, avant sa mort, avait désigné pour son successeur Duc-Duc, qui fut aussitôt reconnu roi, mais ne régna que pendant deux jours. En effet, à l'expiration de ce délai, la ba-hoang-tai, reine-mère du feu roi Tu-Duc, exposa au trien-dinh (Conseil des rites) et surtout le besoin de créer de bonnes relations avec la France exigèrent la déposition de Duc-Duc et le choix comme souverain, de Tan-Lan, fils adoptif de la reine mère et par suite frère adoptif de Tu-Duc.\n\nLes membres du trien-dinh acceptèrent ce projet, déclarèrent Duc-Duc déchu et Tan-Lan prit pour chiffre de règne la dénomination de Hiep-Hoa (concorde et paix). Ce prince est âgé de trente-sept ans et a toujours montré une certaine tendance vers le parti français. Tout fait donc présumer qu'il sera facile de s'entendre avec lui.\n\nUn mot enfin à propos du sort réservé probablement à la province du Binh-Thuan, qui est annexée à la Basse-Cochinchine. Il est bien certain que son administration devra être modifiée sur celle de notre colonie, mais cette assimilation ne se fera que progressivement et non par une suppression brusque des institutions établies dans cette province. C'est, dit-on, M. l'administrateur actuel de l'arrondissement de Baria, qui sera chargé de cette mission.\n\nUne autre lettre expédiée d'Haiphong le 31 août porte ce qui suit:\n\n« Aucun mouvement nouveau n'a eu lieu depuis l'importante affaire des 15 et 18 août derniers, dirigée par le général Bouët; les renseignements que le courrier de Saigon a apportés changent sensiblement le caractère que les premières versions vagues et contradictoires venues de Hong Kong avaient donné à cette affaire; ce n'a pas été, cela est réel, un succès dans l'acception ordinaire du mot, puisque le but poursuivi n'a été atteint qu'en partie, et que le gros des troupes du général Bouët a dû rentrer à Hanoi; mais ça n'a pas été non plus un échec, encore bien moins une défaite, comme le feraient croire les récits de certains journaux anglais, puisque les Pavillons-Noirs ont subi des pertes bien supérieures aux nôtres, qu'ils ont dû évacuer plusieurs de leurs positions, et que la pagode des Quatre-Colonnes, point stratégique très important, est restée entre vos mains. La retraite des diverses colonnes du général Bouët s'est, du reste, effectuée dans l'ordre le plus parfait, puisqu'elles ont toutes ramené leurs blessés et leurs morts.\n\nOn télégraphie de Toulon, le 12 octobre : le transport la Corrèze est parti aujourd'hui pour le Tonkin, ayant à bord 940 passagers, hommes d'équipage et au matériel de guerre considérable.\n\nInclosure\n\nin Lad hymn 20707\n\nexx.\n\nExtract\n\nJournal foret",

        "content_text": "1803\n\nLord Lyons No. 771 Inel.\n\nParis No. 10.\n\nTonquin\n\nColonial Office\n\n464\n\n\"Journal des Débats, 10 Novembre 1888. 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",

        "content_text": "The Daily Press. HONGKON, JANUARY 14TH. 14.\n\nPRIZE DAY AT ST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE.\n\nEnclosure\n\nSaturday was the great day of the year to the boys of St. Joseph's College, it being selected as the occasion for the annual distribution of prizes to the boys who have earned those distinctions at the examination. The boys and their masters, as on the corresponding occasion last year, got up an entertainment to render the occasion the more enjoyable to all, and to show what progress the boys are making in the lighter accomplishments, as well as their mastery of the English language. A very neat stage was erected at one end of the main school-room, which was furnished with an artistically painted proscenium and drop scene, and with foot lights, and all the usual paraphernalia of a stage on a somewhat small scale. At half-past three the schoolroom was filled with ladies and gentlemen, who take an interest in the progress of the pupils of the school and of the relatives of the boys. His Excellency the Governor presided, and Lady and the Misses Bowen were also present; the visitors also included the Very Rev. Bishop Raimondi, Very Rev. Father Burghignoli, Contre-Admiral Meyer, Major-General Sargent, the Colonial Secretary with Mrs. Marsh and Miss Thornton, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Fleming, Mr. Musso, Italian Consul, and Mrs. Mosso, Mr. and Mrs. A. Sath, Mr. A. G. Romano, Brazilian Consul, Mr. J. J. Francia, &c.\n\nThe National Anthem was sung as his Excellency entered the room, and an overture opened the programme.\n\nBishop RAIMONDI then delivered the following address—Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, the Directors and the pupils of St. Joseph's College gratefully greet your Excellency's coming among them for the second time. Your Excellency came the first time to visit the College and encourage the youngsters to thoroughly study the English language, and now you will be happy to see the good result of your excellent speech on the importance of studying the English language. The speech, I am glad to say, was reprinted from the local press into the leading Catholic newspapers in India, Europe, and America. The words which fall from the representative of our gracious Queen are never uttered in vain when directed to our loyal Catholic youth. St. Joseph's College is conducted by the well-known brothers of the Christian Schools, who came to Hongkong in 1875 to take charge of our schools, which at that time were in Wellington Street, at St. Saviour's College, the present College being the third building used for the education of our youth. It was a great relief to us to have been able to intrust the education of our youth to such a highly distinguished educational body, which is not of to-day but one which has fought for over two hundred years the battle of education and has won a golden reputation throughout the world. The parents of our pupils were highly pleased and the public, through the Press, highly complimented us on procuring such a valuable acquisition. The number of pupils, who were 75 when the brothers took charge of St. Saviour's College, rose in a short time to 150. St. Saviour's College became too small, and the Mission bought a second building in Caine Road, which took the name of St. Joseph's College. At that time our schools were not under the grant-in-aid system, although that scheme was already in force in Hongkong and the public was insisting upon our accepting it. It was only in 1879 that St. Joseph's College was received under the grant-in-aid scheme. St. Joseph's College, under Government inspection, prospered even more than it did before. The result of the examination held by the Government Inspector proved every year that the education imparted by the Brothers was extremely good. The number of the pupils doubled in a few years, and we were compelled to have this College built in this place where we stand. The College was opened last year by the worthy late Administrator, Mr. Marsh, who always took a great interest in it, with a staff of eight teaching Brothers, the majority of whom are English born, and three hundred pupils, and ourselves, feeling at that time the satisfaction of having during the last 20 years qualified not less than three or four hundred Portuguese and Chinese boys to occupy good situations, which they fill at present with the greatest advantage to their families.\n\nBut St. Joseph's College got something else under the grant-in-aid scheme. It was lately credited with having grown a wealthy institution. To one who is poor to be credited with being rich is a very good thing, but the fact is that the grant which St. Joseph's College, with its 300 pupils, annually received, although apparently a large one when compared with the grant which the other denominational schools, with their fewer pupils, received, can hardly cover a third of the expenses annually incurred by such a large College as St. Joseph's, and, far from having a fund of one thousand sterling pounds, St. Joseph's College has not even one thousand cash, nay, I tell you, confidentially, it is, I believe, in debt. People cannot understand how we, being poor, can do so much, and imagine that this College is backed by a very rich and wealthy corporation. I am afraid they mistook the corporation, as there is more than one corporation in Hongkong, and Catholic although they are one in matter of faith, each of them has the administration of temporal affairs quite independent of each other. But I will explain to you the mystery. We are rich in the sense that we are contented with what we have. We don't require any salary and all we ask from the Mission is to be fed, clothed and lodged. We have not many expenses, nor many bills to pay. For instance, we have not the bills from the millinery shop for ladies' dresses. All the profit of our economy goes to start and maintain schools.\n\nBut to come to the principal part, which is the result of the last examination, every one of you will agree with me that the surest and best way to test the proficiency of a scholar and the efficiency of a school are definite results by examination. The grant-in-aid scheme in force in Hongkong, which I believe was framed on a parliamentary act of England, the work of the most experienced men in educational matters, is entirely grounded on definite results. Now, before I tell you the result of the last examination I must caution you on the matter. The standards on which the boys are examined, which are required by our grant-in-aid scheme in Hongkong, are higher and a great deal more difficult than the standards of the grant-in-aid scheme in force at Singapore, at Ceylon, and I have reason to say even in London. Moreover, our good Inspector of Schools acknowledged that the questions which he put this year to the pupils of St. Joseph's College were unusually difficult. Having cautioned you thus, I come to tell you the result of the examination. I will say it in a few words: we presented 205 boys to be examined; of these 205, 180 were examined, and only fifteen failed, giving thus a percentage of 92. I think you will agree with me that the good Christian Brothers have reason to be proud of this. In London, I am told, a percentage of 90 is considered as very good. We got a percentage of more than 91, nearly 92, which we can consider as a great success. But the principal and most important feature of the result of the last examination is that in the highest standard, the sixth, in which English composition is one of the prominent subjects, we presented this year 19 boys, more than ever were presented before, and of those 19, all passed but one. St. Joseph's College was credited before with being strong in the lowest standards, but the result of the last examination proves that it is strong also in the highest standards. Ladies and gentlemen, the Directors of St. Joseph's College look for nothing but for facts; and you will agree with me that the results of the examination are enough to declare St. Joseph's College a first-class educational establishment, and institution of which the community may be proud.\n\nPage 61\n\nC.O. 2700\n\nRECP\n\nPEGT 16 FEB 84.",

        "content_text": "and of Liverpool.\n\nI have the honour to be, My Lord,\n\nYour Lordship's Most Obedient, Humble Servant,\n\nSMBowen\n\nEnclosure 1.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, MAY 19TH, 1884.\n\nIn view of the probable speedy opening to foreign trade of the three southern provinces of China, all our available knowledge of the existing trade routes to Yunnan, and conditions of trade and navigation on that valuable natural highway, the great West River, with its various affluents, tributaries, and channels, have for the time being become of paramount interest and importance. Despite the labours of the French commission in 1869, and the travels and works of poor MARGARY, and of GILL, DUPUIS, BABER, COLQUHOUN, and ROCHER, how very meagre our information on the subject really is! The Chinese officials, with that selfish exclusiveness which is so marked a characteristic of the native character, have jealously guarded the secrets of their waterways, their trade routes, and means of communication. More particularly does this remark apply to the old trade route to Yunnan via the West River. The stoppage, or rather, perhaps, more correctly speaking, the comparative disuse, of this route, has been variously attributed to the Taiping rebellion, the opening of Hankow to foreign steam navigation, and to the exactions and rapacity of lekin and other local officials who are located at many points along the entire course of the river from Yunnan even up to the very gates of Canton, each and every one of whom demands his squeeze more or less legal or illegal as the case may be. M. EMIL ROCHER, in his valuable work on Yunnan, mentions six ways of communication at present open for the transit of traders and their merchandise; of these he says some are long, costly, and difficult, and others impracticable on account of the lekin system; he states that one route only offers a navigable waterway right into the province of Yunnan and unites in itself almost all the desirable conditions, being short and easy, and consequently offering the advantage of great economy of time. This is by way of the Song-koi or Tonquin river. Three of the six routes mentioned are from the Yangtze, and with these we are not now concerned. Another is the route from Bhamo to Tali-fu.\n\nIt seems, however, to be now generally conceded, that, although the construction of a railway along this route is not physically impossible, yet the engineering difficulties in the way are so great as to put the project practically out of serious consideration. As Mr. COLBORNE BABER says in his work on the subject of Western China recently published under the auspices of the Royal Geographical Society, \"by piercing half a dozen Mont Cenis tunnels and erecting a few Menai bridges the road from Burmah to Yunnan-fu could doubtless be much improved.\" Mr. COLQUHOUN's route by Zimmé has lately been brought forward, but has still to be explored. M. EMIL ROCHER also mentions the route by the Canton River via Nam-ning-fu, but it is significant that no mention whatever is made of the West River route by means of which Mr. BABER says that foreign manufactures can be conveyed to Yun-nan-fu, so far as the physical obstacles of the country are concerned, with ease and rapidity from Canton.\n\nIt is true that the route mentioned by M. ROCHER via Nam-ning is on the lower part of its course by the West River, but the affluent or feeder of this great stream (West River) which is alluded to by M. ROCHER is that taking its course from Peh-sik near the frontier of South-eastern Yunnan and thence by the town of Nam-ning-fu in Kwang-si, ultimately debouching into the West River at Tsun-chau-fu, a departmental city in the same province, distant, following the course of the river, some seventy miles or more above the large trading centre of Wu Chau-fu, and does not in any way communicate with central or even mid-eastern Yunnan, but merely touches a point near the southern frontier of that province at the town of Peh-Shik, which, so far as the Wat-Kong, the stream mentioned, or as Mr. ROCHER terms it Bras Inférieur du fleuve de Canton is concerned, is the terminus and end of its traffic, as beyond this point the river is said not to be navigable even for boats.\n\nOn the splendid map of Yunnan which accompanies M. ROCHER's work the West River alluded to by Mr. BABER may be observed crossing the track taken by the late ill-fated MARGARY in the expedition which cost him his life. This river is there marked as Bras Supérieure du fleuve de Canton; but unfortunately M. ROCHER, being probably, and only naturally so too, as a patriotic Frenchman, more immediately concerned with the route through his own territory of Tonquin, does not appear to have given much attention to this Bras Supérieur du fleuve de Canton as he terms it, and his track does not seem to have come near it at any point.\n\nIn an article which appeared in these columns on the 19th February last we gave some details of this route, some of which it may be useful here to reproduce with additional information. Mr. MICHAEL Moss, who, at the expense of the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce, undertook an expedition up the West River between the months of April and September, 1870, appears by some unfortunate mis-conception to have left the main stream at the prefectural city of Tsun-Chau. Mr. Moss was in all probability misled by the statements of natives anxious to prevent his obtaining any useful information on the subject of his inquiry; for, in his report of the expedition, dated the 28th October, 1870, addressed to the Hon. P. RYBIE as Chairman of the Committee of the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce, he speaks of the great river down which comes the copper, gold, and silver, the musk and other costly merchandise, as \"the Pak-bo, or North River, which flowing down a powerful stream full of rapids, rocks, and shoals from its source in the province of Kwei-chow, passes Liu-chow-fu and running through wild mountainous regions, joins",

Soon after anchoring in Keelung harbour, the commander of the French corvette Villars came on board the Welle and asked the captain if he had any news. The captain gave him all the news he had, and the commander of the Villars then went on shore. Three or four hours afterwards one of the officers from the Villars called upon the Captain of the Welle, and delivered to him the following letter:\n\nTo Captain of German ship Welle.\n\n**KEELUNG, 2nd August, 1884.**\n\nM. LE CAPITAIN,--I have the honour to inform you that the convention entered into between France and China, until the expiration of the time fixed by the ultimatum shall have expired, reposes principally on the maintenance of the statu quo, that is to say, that everything remains as it is. Your cargo consists of objects that are above all things considered as contraband of war, torpedoes and fire-arms destined for the forts of Keelung. At the moment I had ... now expected, arrived at: in any other case I had to find myself compelled to absolutely oppose the debarkation. I have no doubt but that you will not voluntarily undertake the responsibility of disturbing the peace existing at the moment, and that this affair may be arranged amicably between us is my most earnest desire.\n\nI am about to advise the general commanding the Chinese troops that it is by my set that you find yourself unable to execute your contract.\n\nAccept, M. le Capitain, the assurances of my most distinguished consideration.\n\n(Signed) Captain de vaisseau, \nCommanding the Villars, \n**VIVIELLE.**\n\nThe captain of the Welle went and had an interview with the commander of the Villars, and they afterwards met the same evening at the Custom House, and the question of the discharge of the cargo was discussed with the Chinese authorities, and it is said to have been arranged that the cargo should not be discharged. The Commander of the Villars was satisfied, but the Chinese authorities were not. A change soon came over the aspect of affairs, as will be seen from the following letter:\n\nThe Commandant of the Villars to the Captain of the German vessel Welle.\n\nM. LE CAPITAIN,--I have the honour to inform you that in spite of the resolutions mutually entered upon by the Chinese mandarins and myself at the conference held yesterday at which you were present, the mandarin Son has intimated to me that it has been decided to discharge from your ship the cannons and munitions of war of which you were the bearer to Keelung. It is with great pleasure that I acknowledge the correctness of the attitude you have maintained, and I have full confidence in your word of honour that nothing shall be discharged from your ship until the question now pending between China and France shall be settled, and on my side you have seen how desirous I am to use persuasion only rather than have recourse to more coercive measures which might complicate the situation.\n\nYou are of course conversant with the duties of Neutrals whose commerce is absolutely free as regards belligerents except in cases where contraband of war is carried, which is your case. It appears therefore to me desirable for us to arrive at a friendly understanding in case the Chinese should endeavour by forcible means to disembark, in spite of you, the guns and munitions which you brought to them.\n\nYou are covered by the Law of Nations and the conventions entered into by the European Powers, to guarantee you against the enforcement of the mandarin's orders. Such a delivery could alone authorise or warrant compulsory delivery. I hold myself at your disposal to maintain by force, if necessary, your rights of command: at your first requisition I will come to your assistance.\n\nPerhaps it might be preferable in order to calm the excitement existing at the moment that you should put to sea, but in any case I would willingly take charge, under formal receipt made out to your order, of all your apparatus for discharging, without which the Chinese could not proceed to disembark their munitions.\n\nI would also point out to you that if war was declared your flag would not cover your cargo, but that the same would constitute a lawful prize.\n\nI have placed before you all the eventualities that can occur, animated as I am by the most conciliatory intentions; and if it should happen, which I can scarcely believe, that you are unable to maintain your position as master of the vessel, come on board the Villars with all your staff and such material as you choose to bring, and you will find a most sympathetic reception, while as to your vessel I will take such steps as will prevent it remaining long in the hands of the Chinese.\n\n(Signed) Captain de vaisseau, \nCommanding the Villars, \n**VIVIELLE.**\n\nThe two letters given above were written in French, and we have translated them for the benefit of our readers.\n\nThere were further negotiations between the commander of the Villars and the Chinese Mandarins, and it was understood that the latter sent to Tamsui for advice, and the answer was that the Welle was to go to that port to discharge her guns and munitions of war. This decision was communicated to the captain of the Welle by the Chinese, and he accordingly proceeded to Tamsui. A difficulty was thus averted. In case the matter had not been arranged in this way the commander of the Villars had expressed his willingness to the captain of the Welle to take all responsibility for the non-delivery of the cargo, the safety of the steamer, &c., upon himself, and we believe he even went so far as to put this into writing, the arrangement come to being that the Welle was to steam out beyond the harbour limits and there await the orders of the commander of the Villars, who was scrupulously polite in his dealings with the captain of the Welle, and calm but determined in his negotiations with the Chinese Mandarins. He told the captain of the Welle that he did not wish to have the least trouble with the German authorities, and was most courteous to him, fulsomely thanking him for his readiness to comply with his wishes. The captain of the Welle could scarcely do otherwise, seeing that the commander of the Villars accepted the responsibility of the occasion.\n\nOn the voyage to Tamsui, the Welle met the German schooner Johann Carl, Captain Schwartz, bound into Keelung; and the French ironclad La Galissonnière, Rear Admiral Lespes, and the gun-vessel Lutin arrived at Keelung the same day as the Welle left. At Tamsui the Welle discharged her guns and munitions of war into a Chinese transport and cargo lighters.\n\nOn the 4th instant Rear Admiral Lespes gave notice to the Chinese Mandarins and Military Commanders that unless the forts were surrendered to him by eight o'clock the next morning he should take them by force. It was known at an early hour on the 5th that the Chinese had decided not to surrender the forts and the majority of the foreign residents—seven, we believe—accepted an offer of Captain Schwartz, of the Johann Carl, to take them on board. There were two ladies, Mrs. Bentley and Mrs. Jack, and five gentlemen, including Mr. Bentley, Mr. Jack, Mr. Grant, and two Customs' employés. Subsequently they were transferred to a steam launch which started with them for Tamsui, but about midway they met H.B.M.'s gunboat Cockchafer, which took them on to their destination.\n\n### THE BOMBARDMENT\n\nThere was no surrender by the Chinese and the bombardment commenced shortly after 8 a.m. on the 5th. Keelung harbour is a bay formed like an amphitheatre; it is entered through a strait with headlands on either side, capital places for forts, but there were none there on this occasion, and the country round is mountainous. There were four forts, all at the head of the bay, two on promontories on the east side, and two on promontories on the west side. The forts on the east side had Krupp guns, one five and the other three, and those on the west side had guns made in China, three each. The Galissonnière was stationed a little further up the harbour than the landmark known as the West Cliff and immediately in front of the five-gun fort, while the Villars and Lutin were anchored further in, almost between the west and east forts, but the guns in the east fort could not be laid on them, and those two vessels blazed away at the forts without receiving a shot in return. A red flag was run up on board the Galissonnière, and the challenge was returned by a red flag being hoisted at the five-gun fort. The three French vessels commenced the bombardment by firing almost simultaneously, and the fire was immediately returned by the two forts on the east side, the forts on the west being silent. Three rounds only were fired from the two eastern forts. One of the gunners in the five-gun fort made excellent practice, his three shots striking the Galissonnière within a few feet of each other, just above the water line, and the balls are said to have penetrated.\n\nPage 201",

Dans la journée du 12 avril, elles se sont retirées après avoir incendié la ville. C'était sur la rivière Noire, qui se jette dans le fleuve Rouge, à 7 kilomètres au sud de Hong-Hoa, que le commandant en chef du corps expéditionnaire avait concentré ses forces. Le 12 avril, il a fait bombarder par des batteries de 80 et de 85 la citadelle de Hong-Hoa et les villages situés en avant de cette place. Les pièces ont tiré pendant six heures, et, tandis que le bombardement durait encore, les ennemis ont mis le feu à la ville et se sont dirigés vers le pont de bambous qui met Hong-Hoa en communication avec la rive gauche du fleuve Rouge. Comme les projectiles de l'artillerie française ne pouvaient atteindre le pont, la retraite des Chinois n'a pas été sérieusement inquiétée. Après avoir traversé le fleuve, ils ont remonté vers le nord dans la direction de Phu-Lang. Cependant, il paraît certain que toute la garnison de Hong-Hoa ne s'est pas retirée sur la rive gauche du fleuve Rouge; quelques détachements sont restés sur la rive droite et se sont dirigés vers Don-Vang, du côté de l'Ouest. Suivant le plan préparé par le commandant en chef, la brigade Brière de L'Isle devait manœuvrer de manière à tourner Hong-Hoa et à isoler cette place du massif montueux qui la sépare de Don-Vang.\n\nPour exécuter cette opération, le général Brière de L'Isle a traversé la rivière Noire à 8 kilomètres au sud du point où elle se jette dans le fleuve Rouge; mais, au moment où il a commencé ce mouvement, les Chinois avaient déjà évacué Hong-Hoa, et il n'a pu atteindre ceux des fuyards qui étaient restés sur la rive droite. Les Pavillons-Noirs ne paraissent pas avoir fourni de nombreux contingents à la garnison de Hong-Hoa. Le gros des troupes qui occupaient cette ville était formé de soldats de l'armée régulière de la province de Yunnan, qui étaient placés sous les ordres du mandarin Cham.",

        "content_text": "# Paris, 30 Avril '1884.\n\n## Journal Officiel 1er Mai 1884\n\n**Le ministre de la marine a reçu du général Millot le rapport suivant sur les opérations qui ont eu pour conséquence la prise de Bac-Ninh et la retraite de l'armée annamite et chinoise :**\n\nIl y avait deux partis à prendre : ou bien aborder de front les défenses accumulées sur la route d'Hanoï à Bac-Ninh, en faisant de ce côté l'effort principal ; ou bien tromper l'attente de l'ennemi, chercher à prendre ses positions à revers et menacer sa ligne de retraite, en concentrant tout le corps expéditionnaire entre le canal des Rapides et le Song-Cau, vers leur confluent, pour faire tomber la place sous l'effort combiné des deux brigades et de la flottille remontant le Song-Gay.\n\nDe ces deux solutions, la première devait fatalement entraîner de grands sacrifices d'hommes, la seconde semblait pouvoir être obtenue avec des pertes moindres et amener un résultat plus complet. Le général en chef n'hésita pas à adopter cette dernière. Il arrêta en conséquence les dispositions suivantes :\n\nLa 1re brigade partira d'Hanoi, passera sur la rive gauche du fleuve Rouge, longera le canal des Rapides, le traversera vers le marché de Chi et opérera sa jonction avec la 2e brigade. Celle-ci, quittant Haï-Dzuong par eau, débarquera au confluent du Song-Cau et du canal des Rapides, s'emparera des hauteurs de Tron-Cau et de Doson, prendra à revers les défenses des Chinois sur le canal des Rapides et favorisera ainsi le passage de la 1re brigade. La jonction du corps expéditionnaire une fois réalisée sur la rive gauche du canal des Rapides, les deux brigades réunies se porteront en avant et enlèveront successivement les deux lignes de défense ennemies s'étendant, la première, du massif important du Trung-Bon au barrage de Lag Buoi ; la seconde, de Bac-Ninh au barrage de Dap-Cau. La flottille combinera son action avec celle de la 2e brigade, en marchant à hauteur de sa droite.\n\n## DÉTAIL DES OPÉRATIONS\n\n### Journées de 7, 8, 9, 10 et 11 mars\n\n#### A) 1re brigade\n\nLe 7 mars, à 5 heures du soir, commençait le passage de la 1re brigade sur la rive gauche du fleuve Rouge ; opération suspendue pendant la nuit, reprenant le lendemain, dès la pointe du jour (5 heures), et, malgré des difficultés matérielles considérables, s'exécutant dans le plus grand ordre au moyen de soixante-quatre jonques et trois remorqueurs. Le 8 mars, vers huit heures du matin, la tête de colonne se mettait en marche.\n\nLes avis fournis par le service des renseignements avaient établi d'une façon positive que l'ennemi occupait Bac-Ninh avec le gros de ses forces, avait poussé de forts détachements vers le Song-Cau et le canal des Rapides, et tenait en particulier les directions et les points suivants :\n\n| Direction/Point | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| A) Route de Hanoi à Bac-Ninh | Des travaux de défense étaient échelonnés depuis Dinh-Ban jusqu'au canal des Rapides. |\n| B) Route de Bac-Ninh à Phu-Thuan-Thanh | Les points de Chi-nè et de Phu-Thuan-Thanh étaient occupés. Le village de Chi-nè était très sérieusement organisé. |\n| C) Hauteur du Tron-Cau | Plusieurs ouvrages se trouvaient sur cette hauteur. L'organisation défensive du Tron-Cau était complétée par les redoutes de Yen-Diah (sur le Song-Cau). |\n| D) Route de Bac Ninh à Lang-Son | Des retranchements existaient depuis Bac-Ninh jusqu'à Ben-Thuong (sur le Thuong-Giang). |\n| E) Hauteur de Doson | Couronnée par un petit fortin. |\n\nEn outre, deux barrages sérieux étaient signalés sur le Song-Cau : à Lag-Buoi et à Dap-Cau.\n\nLe 11, à deux heures cinquante minutes de l'après-midi, quatre jours après son départ d'Hanoi, la 1re brigade, suivie d'un immense convoi de deux mille coolies, était tout entière sur la rive gauche du canal des Rapides, qu'elle avait franchi au village de Xam. Le canal présente en cet endroit une largeur de 90 mètres. Le passage s'était effectué en moins de 6 heures au moyen de deux canonnières, de jonques remorquées et d'un pont de bateaux rapidement assemblé par les détachements du génie et de pontonniers.\n\n#### B) Marche de la 1re brigade\n\nLa brigade, débouchant du marché de Chi, se leva vers le nord, dans le double but de se rapprocher de la 2e brigade et de déborder par le nord les défenses du Trung-Son.\n\n#### B) 2e brigade\n\nLa 2e brigade, partie d'Haï-Dzuong par eau le 6, avait pris pied à la montagne des Sept-Pagodes (confluent du Song-Cau et du canal des Rapides), s'était emparée le 8, avec le concours de la flottille, de Tran-Cau, du fort de Naon, des ouvrages de Yen-Dinh et de la hauteur de Doson, après une série de combats vivement menés. Dès le 9 au soir, elle se mettait en communication avec la 1re brigade au moyen d'émissaires et de la télégraphie optique.\n\nA midi cinquante minutes, le général en chef donnait l'ordre au général commandant la 2e brigade de prendre ses dispositions de combat. Les bataillons se déployaient immédiatement, tandis que l'artillerie, traversant la rizière, allait prendre position et commencer à canonner les pentes du Trung-Son.\n\nAprès une préparation qui durait près d'une heure, la première ligne d'infanterie s'ébranlait, soutenue par une deuxième ligne formant réserve. Les villages au pied des pentes, les premiers sommets du Trung-Son sont enlevés avec entrain. Notre infanterie poursuit de ses feux l'ennemi qui cherche à gagner les pitons les plus élevés, et se porte bientôt en avant, pour briser la dernière résistance, sur la deuxième ligne de défense.\n\nQuelques coups de canon tirés sur Bac-Ninh suffisaient à briser la dernière résistance, et bientôt deux bataillons d'infanterie, sans sac, se portant en avant, entraient sans coup férir dans la place. A cinq heures cinquante minutes du soir, le drapeau français flottait sur la grande tour de la citadelle.\n\n### Journée du 12\n\nLe 11, à deux heures de l'après-midi, la concentration du corps expéditionnaire était un fait accompli. Le général en chef donna l'ordre suivant pour la journée du 12 :\n\nL'ennemi occupe une première ligne de défense dont la droite est appuyée à la hauteur du Trong-Son, et la gauche au Song-Cau, vers le village de Val. Entre ce dernier village et celui de Lag-Buoi, un barrage ferme le fleuve. La 2e brigade partira de Doson à six heures du matin et se portera sur la ligne ennemie. La flottille, partant de Yen-Dinh, remontera le Song-Cau, détruira le barrage de Lag-Buoi et appuiera l'attaque de la 2e brigade. La 1re brigade quittera son cantonnement de Xam à six heures et demie du matin ; elle se portera d'abord au marché de Chi, en suivant la rive gauche du canal des Rapides. Elle se dirigera ensuite sur le Trung-Son et s'en emparera.\n\n#### A) Description de la position ennemie\n\nLa position de l'ennemi, le 12 au matin, s'appuyait sur les hauteurs fortifiées de Trung-Son et au village retranché de Xuam-Hoa. En ce point, la ligne se brisait vers une direction ouest-est, pour couvrir une boucle accentuée du Song-Cau et le barrage de Lag-Buoi. Ce barrage était défendu par une forte batterie bien armée et par un fortin sur la rive droite, par des redoutes étagées sur la rive gauche. Entre le village de Xuam-Hoa et le barrage existaient sept redoutes carrées.\n\nC'est sur le Trung-Son que les Chinois avaient établi leurs principales défenses. Les sommets de ce massif étaient couronnés de quatre forts, dont les feux se concentraient sur la route d'Haï-Dzuong à Bac-Ninh qui passe à l'est de ses pentes. Cette route était également commandée par un cinquième fort, situé au sommet d'un cône isolé à l'ouest du massif.\n\n#### C) Marche de la 2e brigade\n\nLa 2e brigade, cantonnée dans les villages autour de ses positions de Doson, avait rompu à six heures trente minutes du matin et pris son ordre de combat en arrière des villages formant rideau, à trois kilomètres en avant de l'ancien fort de Doson, face à Xuam-Hoa. Les reconnaissances ayant permis de se rendre compte de la position de l'ennemi, le général commandant la 2e brigade s'était décidé à faire une fausse attaque sur les retranchements du barrage, et à percer la ligne ennemie à la cathédrale de Keroi.\n\nPendant ces mouvements de la 2e brigade, la flottille s'était avancée sur le Song-Cau. Elle avait pour instructions : maintenir sa tête en arrière du pavillon de rectification, porté par le corps de débarquement, qui était lui-même en échelon derrière la droite de la 2e brigade ; ouvrir le feu sur la batterie et les ouvrages du barrage ; ces ouvrages ruinés, diriger son feu sur les ouvrages de la rive gauche, s'avancer ensuite jusqu'au barrage et commencer aussitôt les travaux nécessaires pour obtenir un passage praticable aux canonnières et aux jonques.\n\nL'ennemi, qui comptait 25 à 30 000 hommes, s'était enfui en laissant en notre pouvoir une place où il avait accumulé depuis plusieurs mois des défenses sérieuses, où il avait envoyé ses meilleures troupes et ses chefs les plus renommés. Il nous abandonnait une centaine de canons, une batterie Krupp, quantité de fusils se chargeant par la culasse, des munitions (poudre et cartouches), et enfin de nombreux étendards.\n\nAu quartier général, à Hanoi, le 21 mars 1884.\n\n**Général MILLOT**",

Jules Ferry read in each House a declaration respecting the affairs of Tonquin and China.\n\nI have the honour to inclose copies of it herewith.\n\nIt contains the full text of the Convention of Tien-tsin, as received by telegraph.\n\n## Inclosure in No. 3.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) **LYONS**.\n\n**Extract from \"Le Temps\" of May 21, 1884.**\n\nDÉCLARATION DU GOUVERNEMENT.-Aujourd'hui, M. Jules Ferry, Président du Conseil, Ministre des Affaires Étrangères, a donné lecture à 2 heures à la Chambre, et à 3 heures au Sénat de la déclaration suivante, relative aux affaires de la Chine et du Tonkin:\n\n\"Messieurs,\n\n\"Vous connaissez déjà les clauses principales de la Convention signée à Tien-Tsin le 11 Mai, 1884, qui a mis fin au différend existant entre la France et la Chine, au sujet de l'Annam et du Tonkin.\n\n\"En attendant que l'instrument même du Traité soit entre nos mains et qu'il puisse être régulièrement soumis à la sanction du Parlement, nous vous devons compte des circonstances qui ont amené ce rapide dénouement et des motifs qui nous ont portés à engager dans cette négociation décisive la responsabilité du Gouvernement.\n\n\"Vous veniez à peine de vous séparer que la prise de Hong-Hoa, couronnant les brillants efforts du corps expéditionnaire, marquait le terme de cette belle campagne, dont les noms de Son-Tay et de Bac-Ninh conserveront le glorieux souvenir. Les opérations militaires étaient terminées; nous étions les maîtres du Tonkin; contre des ennemis bien supérieurs en nombre et pourvus de tous les moyens de défense de la guerre moderne, les troupes de la marine et de l'armée, rivalisant de vertus militaires, d'entrain, et de patience, de tactique et de valeur, avaient porté plus haut que jamais, dans l'extrême Orient, le prestige de nos armes.\n\n\"Au point de vue diplomatique, la situation restait obscure. Les relations avec la Cour de Pékin étaient, en Chine, rares et tendues; à Paris, sans être officiellement suspendues, elles étaient nulles depuis le départ du Ministre de Chine pour l'Angleterre. À Pékin même, le terrain politique semblait disputé entre l'esprit de sagesse et l'esprit d'aventure.\n\n\"L'esprit de sagesse devait l'emporter.\n\n\"Le 29 Avril, le Contre-Amiral Lespès, qui arrivait à Shang-haï avec son escadre, après avoir visité les ports d'Amoy et de Fou-Tcheou, recevait l'avis que le Vice-Roi du Tchili venait d'obtenir du Gouvernement Chinois le rappel du Marquis Tsêng, comme première satisfaction donnée à la France. L'Amiral était chargé de transmettre cette nouvelle au Gouvernement Français. Le Vice-Roi exprimait en même temps le désir de voir à Tien-tsin le Capitaine de Frégate Fournier, Commandant du `Volta`, avec lequel il était depuis plusieurs années en relations amicales, pour conférer avec lui de la situation.\n\n\"Le Commandant du `Volta` partait aussitôt pour Tche-Foo. Le 10 Mai, le Tsong-li Yamên annonçait officiellement à notre chargé d'affaires à Pékin la nomination d'un nouveau Ministre auprès des Cabinets de Paris, Berlin, Vienne, Rome, et La Haye. En attendant son arrivée, Li-Fong-Pao, Ministre de Chine à Berlin, venait représenter la Chine à titre intérimaire auprès du Gouvernement Français.\n\n\"Les 8 et 9 Mai, le Commandant Fournier, de Tien-tsin, et l'Amiral Lespès, de Shang-haï, nous faisaient connaître le résultat des pourparlers officieusement ouverts par le Vice-Roi du Tchili; les deux négociateurs avaient arrêté les termes d'une Convention préliminaire en cinq Articles, destinés à servir de base au Traité définitif; le Vice-Roi... \n\nPage 64\n\n[1474]",

La canonnière portait une aide et une protection sérieuses aux villages menacés ou attaqués. Ce rôle la désignait aux premières tentatives offensives de l'ennemi; aussi, dans la nuit du 8 au 9 septembre, une bande de 500 Chinois attaquait la canonnière; une vive fusillade révélait brusquement la présence de l'assaillant, qui ouvrait son feu à 400 mètres en amont et 150 en aval; en quelques secondes, la Hache ripostait de sa fusillade et de son canon-revolver, et, après une courte résistance, qui permit cependant à l'ennemi d'incendier en partie le village; la bande était mise en déroute avec des pertes sensibles.\n\nA la suite de renseignements obtenus par une nouvelle reconnaissance poussée jusqu'à Lam (18 septembre) et faisant prévoir que cette attaque ne demeurerait pas un fait isolé, mais que l'offensive ennemie allait se dessiner, la Hoche était renforcée de la Massue, capitaine Challier.\n\nLe mois s'écoulait sans nouvelle agression, les canonnières continuant leur rôle de protection des villages riverains, de police de la rivière et de transmission de renseignements. D'après ceux-ci, le commandement faisait préparer une colonne, composée de deux compagnies de légion étrangère, deux du 143° d'infanterie, une de tirailleurs tonkinois et deux pièces de 80mm de montagne, qui devait, sous le commandement de M. le colonel Donnier, refouler les bandes chinoises répandues dans la vallée de Loch-nan et dont le but paraissait être, en donnant la main à l'agglomération signalée à Bao-Loc, de s'emparer, au profit de l'armée de Lang-son, de la récolte de riz de cette riche vallée.\n\nUn télégramme du général Brière de l'Isle, en date du 2 décembre 1884, annonce qu'il a été trouvé dans un des villages du Loch-Nam une proclamation imprimée du vice-roi des deux Kouangs qui vise un décret impérial excitant à l'empoisonnement des Français.\n\nLe ministre de la marine a reçu du général Brière de l'Isle un rapport, en date du 23 octobre 1884, résumant les opérations qui ont eu lieu au Tonkin en octobre.\n\n### Rapport sur les opérations exécutées du 1er au 25 octobre 1884\n\nEn station dans la rivière de Loch-nan depuis le commencement d'août, la canonnière la Hache, capitaine Manceron, avait reconnu ces parages et donné la main à plusieurs petites opérations parties de Bac-Ninh.\n\nDu 5 au 9 août, elle arrivait au village de Lam, point extrême atteint par l'Aspic dans sa campagne hydrographique de 1876; du 20 au 25, profitant d'une crue, elle réussissait à monter jusqu'à Chu, en appuyant une reconnaissance faite par M. le chef d'escadron d'artillerie Palle, résident de Bac-Ninh, et participait à la prise et à la destruction de ce fortin.\n\nRevenue au mouillage de Loe-nan, sa mission consistait à empêcher les jonques de remonter la rivière pour porter des approvisionnements aux bandes signalées dans la haute vallée. Elle avait l'occasion de débander, de son canon-revolver, un parti de 300 Chinois; le lendemain, ses embarcations armées en guerre reconnaissaient l'arroyo de Dong-triên.\n\nDe toutes ces reconnaissances et de sa situation, ...\n\n|  |  |\n| --- | --- |\n|  |  |\n\nPendant cette période, une colonne, composée d'une compagnie d'infanterie légère d'Afrique et une de Tonkinois, sortait, le 29, de Haï-Dzuong, sous les ordres de M. le chef de bataillon Tonnoi, du 24 tirailleurs tonkinois, et, avec le concours des canonnières Mousqueton, capitaine Fortin, et Rafale, capitaine Babean, poursuivait des bandes tenant la campagne au nord de Haï-Dzuong et dans la vallée du Song-Kinh-thai. Cette colonne rentrait le surlendemain, ayant eu, sur la rive gauche du fleuve, le contact presque permanent avec les vedettes ennemies, mais sans pouvoir les atteindre. Une petite garnison était laissée à Lac-son pour surveiller le pays (rive droite du Song Kinh-thaï, entre les Sept Pagodes et Dong-trieu, à environ 3,000 mètres dans l'intérieur); elle se composait de 50 hommes du bataillon d'Afrique et de la compagnie de tirailleurs tonkinois; elle était sous les ordres de M. le capitaine Canivet, commandant cette compagnie.\n\nTelle était la situation le 2 octobre, lorsque les canonnières Hoche et Massue, en reconnaissance dans le Loc-nan, étaient furieusement attaquées près du village du même nom, par 4,000 Chinois. Le Mousqueton, en route sur le Song-thuong, appelé par l'intensité de la canonnade, prenait aussi part à ce combat, dans lequel nos canonnières, fusillées par un ennemi caché derrière les bambous et dans de hautes berges très fourrées, à une distance parfois de 30 mètres à peine, durent traverser à deux reprises les positions des assaillants en les mitraillant du feu de leurs pièces et de leurs canons-revolvers. Mais nos pertes étaient sensibles: la Massue avait perdu son capitaine, M. le lieutenant de vaisseau Challier qui, frappé le matin, à la montée, d'une balle à la gorge, mourait, l'après-midi, dans la descente; cinq hommes avaient été blessés. La Hache comptait six blessés, dont deux très grièvement. Enfin, le Mousqueton avait, dans son équipage, dix blessés, dont cinq grièvement, et, parmi le détachement du bataillon d'Afrique, d'escorte à son bord, dix blessés, dont trois grièvement.\n\nAprès la mise hors de combat du capitaine Challier, M. le capitaine Fortin avait pris le commandement de la petite flottille, et c'est sous sa direction qu'avait eu lieu la deuxième partie du combat à la descente.\n\nCe même jour avait été fixé pour la réunion de la colonne Donnier aux Sept-Pagodes où la trouvèrent les trois canonnières après leur engagement.\n\nLe même jour aussi, une colonne, sous les ordres de M. le commandant Servière, du bataillon d'Afrique, quittait Haï-Dzuong avec mission de prendre au passage la garnison de Lac-son et de se porter sur Dong-trien, important débouché de routes venant du nord. Il amenait avec lui une compagnie du bataillon d'Afrique et une de Tonkinois, et devait être appuyé par le Mousqueton. Le 3, à trois heures du matin, avant la jonction, Lac-son, attaqué par 500 réguliers chinois, repoussait brillamment l'ennemi sans pertes de notre côté. Rejointe par le commandant Servière, sa garnison entrait dans la composition de cette colonne qui, dans la nuit du 4 au 5, livrait un brillant combat à un fort parti ennemi qu'elle chassait du village de Thinh-ngai, où il s'était retranché.\n\nDevant ces diverses attaques, révélant nettement l'invasion, il devenait nécessaire d'augmenter les forces agissant vers la face nord du delta. Aussi, tandis que le lieutenant-colonel Donnier remontait le Loc-nan avec Lam pour objectif, le lieutenant-colonel Defoy quittait Hanoi, le 3 au soir, pour Phu-Lang-thuong, avec trois compagnies du 23° de ligne (la quatrième n'était pas encore rentrée de My-Luong), le bataillon du 111°, deux sections de 80 millimètres de montagne, la 3° batterie bis de 4 rayé de montagne.\n\nDe plus, une colonne mobile était préparée à Phu-Lang-thuong sous le commandement de M. le chef de bataillon de Mibielle; elle comprenait un peloton de tirailleurs tonkinois, un bataillon de tirailleurs algériens, deux sections d'artillerie et quelques cavaliers.\n\n### Composition des colonnes\n\n#### Colonne du lieutenant-colonel Donnier\n\n| Unités | Commandants |\n| --- | --- |\n| 2 compagnies du 143° | compagnie Fraissy-l'And et Cavellier |\n| 2 compagnies de la légion | compagnies Beynet et Bolgert |\n| 1 peloton de tirailleurs tonkinois | sous-lieutenant Bataille |\n| 1 section de 80 millim. de montagne | lieutenant Largout |\n| Détachement léger d'ambulance |  |\n| Canonnières | Hache, Massue et Éclair |\n\n#### Colonne du commandant de Mibielle\n\n| Unités | Commandants |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 peloton de tirailleurs tonkinois | sous-lieutenant Robard |\n| 3° bataillon du 3° tirailleurs algériens | commandant de Mibielle |\n| 2 sections de 80 millimètres de montagne | 11° batterie du 12°, compagnie Jourdy |\n| Détachement du génie avec deux mulets d'outils |  |\n| Détachement léger d'ambulance |  |\n\n### Opérations\n\nLe 5 au soir, la situation était la suivante : Les renseignements faisaient connaître que l'ennemi était partagé en deux groupes principaux: l'un sur le Loch-nan vers Chu, fort d'environ 4,800 réguliers chinois; l'autre, vers Kep, estimé à environ 3,200 réguliers. Ces deux groupes paraissaient reliés par un fort détachement signalé à Bao-Loc.\n\nEn conséquence, le général se résolut : \n1° A pousser le lieutenant-colonel Donnier dans la vallée du Loch-nan en lui donnant Chu pour objectif.\n2° A le faire appuyer par le commandant de Mibielle, qui avait l'ordre de se trouver le 6 au soir à Hoa-Phu, de manière à pouvoir le rejoindre en quelques heures, si c'était nécessaire. Le commandant de Mibielle devait, en outre, refouler vers Bao-Loc, mais sans les presser, les partis ennemis qui voudraient s'opposer à sa marche.\n3° A chasser l'ennemi de Bao-Loc pour le rejeter, d'un côté sur le colonel Donnier, de l'autre sur Kep. Cette attaque de Bao-Loc avait, en outre, pour but de permettre ultérieurement une attaque sur Kep. Il eut été, en effet, imprudent d'attaquer Kep avant de s'être assuré que Bao-Loc était libre, un corps ennemi placé à Bao-Loc pouvant agir sur les derrières d'une colonne opérant contre Kep.\n\nLe 3, M. le général de Négrier quittait Hanoi pour aller prendre la direction générale de toutes ces forces; il se rendait à Phu-Lang-thuong, pour marcher avec la colonne Defoy.\n\nLe 5 octobre, les troupes étaient ainsi réparties:\n\n#### Dans la vallée du Loch-nan\n\nColonne du lieutenant-colonel Donnier.\n\nLe lieutenant-colonel Donnier se trouvait, le 5 à midi, au village de Loch-nan, qui venait d'être attaqué par les Chinois. Les canonnières avaient pris le contact. Il remontait lentement le fleuve pour chercher un point de débarquement le plus près possible de son objectif, Chu.\n\n#### À Phu-Lang-thuong\n\nColonne du commandant de Mibielle : Troupes de sortie de la garnison.\n\nLe 5 au soir, à 4 heures 30, le général reçoit un courrier du commandant de Mibielle. Le commandant de Mibielle fait connaître qu'il a éprouvé dans sa marche les plus grandes difficultés et est en relation avec le colonel Donnier; il compte le rejoindre le 8.\n\nLa jonction de ces deux colonnes assurée et le pays de Bao-Loc vidé de l'ennemi, le général se décide à marcher immédiatement sur Kep. A cet effet, l'artillerie et deux compagnies d'infanterie, les malades de la journée et le quartier général se mettent en mouvement à 5 heures 30 pour bivouaquer à 8 heures 30 à la pagode Thomann. Le reste de l'infanterie, cantonné à Bao-Loc, a l'ordre d'opérer sa jonction avec les troupes de la pagode Thomann, le 8 au matin. Les pertes de cette journée étaient nulles. Quelques hommes atteints de coups de chaleur sont amenés à la pagode Thomann où ils sont gardés pendant la matinée du 8 par deux sections du 143° chargées de les escorter à Phu-Lang-thuong dès l'arrivée des coolies de transport envoyés par cette place.\n\n### Journée du 8. - Prise de Kep\n\nLe 8 au matin, le commandement n'avait que des renseignements vagues et contradictoires sur l'occupation de Kep par l'ennemi.\n\nSous la protection de l'avant-garde placée à 1,500 mètres en avant du carrefour des routes de Bao-Loc et de Kep, le gros avait pris la position de rassemblement.\n\nLa cavalerie dont disposait la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Les rizières donnent une belle espérance. Le sésame et les haricots ont été semés en mars, de même du maïs et de la canne à sucre qui ont été mis en terre en février. Le ricin commence à fleurir, le mûrier à se couvrir de feuilles.\n\n#### BAC NINH\n\nLa sécheresse de l'hiver passé a mis un peu les riz tardifs en souffrance; mais il y a lieu d'espérer que, d'ici peu, avec la tranquillité et les pluies qui ont commencé, l'agriculture va reprendre son niveau.\n\n#### SONTAY\n\nLes populations continuent à labourer les terrains élevés et à se livrer aux plantations des cultures diverses: maïs, sésame, patates, arachides et ricin.\n\n#### HAI DƯƠNG\n\nL'état des cultures est bon, les riz présentent une belle apparence.\n\n#### HAI PHONG\n\nLes riz de belle qualité ont subi une petite hausse sur leurs prix. L'immigration européenne reste stationnaire. On s'adonne, comme partout, aux soins que réclame l'agriculture.\n\n#### NINH BINH\n\nLes riz se développent. Les cotonniers sont sortis de terre. Les mûriers commencent à se développer. L'exportation du riz reprend son ardeur par suite des espérances que donne la prochaine récolte.\n\n### Note pour la mercuriale ci-jointe.\n\nLes différences trop accentuées que l'on a pu remarquer sur les diverses mercuriales depuis le commencement entre les prix de denrées dans les diverses résidences du Tonkin doivent être attribuées, à mon avis, à des erreurs commises dans la traduction des relevés sur les marchés, en prix du picul et des petits poids qui persistent et persisteront encore longtemps proviennent de causes locales ayant leur point de départ dans la pauvreté relative de quelques marchés en certains produits, ou en une demande plus forte de quelques produits, par suite d'agglomérations extraordinaires de consommateurs sur certains marchés.\n\nIndépendamment de la différence qui existe entre les prix des diverses provinces et qui est inévitable dans l'état actuel économique du pays, on doit tenir compte de l'impossibilité actuelle de confier à des Européens le soin de relever les cours des marchandises. Il faut nécessairement que MM. les résidents aient recours à leurs agents indigènes dont les indications sont parfois erronées, souvent intentionnellement par la croyance qu'ils ont que les Européens doivent payer plus cher qu'eux.\n\nOn a remarqué au Tonkin un fait qui mérite d'être signalé : c'est que là où la tranquillité est assurée par la présence d'une garnison française et où l'éloignement des fauteurs de désordre est considérable, les mêmes denrées sont plus chères que dans les lieux où la population peut avoir des craintes par le passage de bandes de vagabonds ou une certaine durée d'opérations hostiles; les habitants s'empressent, dans ce cas, d'écouler leurs divers produits aux premiers marchands qui les apportent dans les lieux où la présence de nos troupes suffit à en garantir la possession, dont la valeur se trouve alors augmentée de la somme de tous les périls et obstacles qu'elle a courus pour parvenir à sa destination.\n\nMais la pacification du pays se faisant à grands pas, la liberté du commerce d'exportation entrant dans les mœurs de ses habitants, l'outillage de transport sur les routes, fleuves et rivières se modifiant et s'augmentant, la propriété jouissant des garanties d'ordre et de justice par la présence du drapeau national, seront autant de facteurs qui prépareront dans un avenir prochain un nivellement des prix des diverses marchandises dont les écarts d'aujourd'hui de province à province font l'étonnement de critiques étrangers.\n\n### Renseignements divers. Culture de l'anis étoilé et fabrication de l'huile badiane.\n\nL'anis étoilé, ou badiane, que les Annamites appellent Bac Giai qua, ou Qua Hoi, est le fruit d'un arbre de haute taille qui pousse dans les régions montagneuses, sur les pentes vertes de terre. On le trouve très rarement à l'état sauvage ou isolé dans les forêts de la région. On le rencontre surtout dans les montagnes autour de Ha-Long, de Dong-Dang, de Nho-Quam et de Pho-Vi, qui sont les principaux centres de culture et de production.\n\nLa fabrication de l'huile se fait à Lang-Son, Ki-Lua, Dong Dang et Ha-Long; elle est soumise à un impôt que percevait le Tuan Phu qui était le fermier de la badiane pour la province.\n\nL'impôt variait suivant la quantité de fruits qui entrent dans la cuisson; pour une grande cuisson de 10 kilos annamites, l'impôt est de 3 ligatures; pour une cuisson de 3 à 4 kilos, l'impôt est 1 ligature et demie.\n\nL'huile est renfermée dans les récipients en fer blanc et vendue en Chine, à Luong-Chau; 100 kilos d'huile valent 12 barres d'argent de 100 ligatures, soit 171 piastres, le prix d'ailleurs varie au gré des marchands.\n\nAvant l'occupation française d'Hanoi et de Bac Ninh, une partie des produits s'écoulait par ces deux places dans le Tonkin, mais depuis les négociants de Chine sont demeurés les seuls maîtres du marché.\n\nLes Annamites affirment que le Qua-Hoi, ou arbre à badiane, ne se rencontre guère à l'état naturel dans les montagnes. Au village de Na-Nam, sur la route mandarine à environ 12 à 13 kilomètres de Lang-Son, il a été constaté de visu que les semis et les jeunes arbustes étaient l'objet de soins de la part des Annamites et entourés de bambous, et que les grands arbres sont plantés d'une manière régulière.\n\nUn arbre de 0,10 à 0,15 de diamètre donne environ 20 kilos annamites de fruits; un arbre de grande taille de 0,40 à 0,50 de diamètre donne environ 200 kilos annamites de fruits.\n\nLe fruit est vendu vert aux fabricants au prix de 4 tiens le kilo annamite (prix du village de Na-Nam).\n\nLa badiane est généralement exportée à l'état d'huile essentielle.\n\nAvant les derniers événements, elle valait sur le marché de Hanoi de 170 à 200 piastres le picul.\n\n| Année | Quantité exportée |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1876 | 8 piculs 14 |\n| 1877 | 18 -- 52 |\n| 1878 | 229 |\n| 1879 | 10 |\n| 1880 | 50 |\n| 1881 | 27 |\n| 1882 | 28 10 |\n\nCette huile s'expédiait par jarres de vingt à trente catties; c'était la maison Dat Chuong Long qui en faisait principalement le commerce et allait vendre ce produit sur le marché de Hong-Kong.\n\nIl s'en exportait aussi une certaine quantité par la route de Luong-Chau et de Nam-Ninh.\n\nQuant à la badiane à l'état de graine, il n'en sortait guère de dix à vingt piculs par an; elle vaut de 14 à 15 piastres le picul.\n\n### Province de Ninh-Binh.\n\nLa culture de l'anis étoilé et la fabrication de l'huile badiane se font principalement dans les régions montagneuses.\n\nLe territoire de la province de Ninh-Binh peut se diviser en deux régions bien distinctes: l'une située à l'ouest, très montagneuse et boisée, comprend le Phu de Nho-Quan et les pays Muong, jusqu'au Laos; l'autre, moins étendue, s'étend entre l'arroyo de Pha-Nho et la mer et a pour limite au nord la province de Nam-Dinh et le Day jusqu'à son embouchure et au sud la chaîne de montagnes qui la sépare de la province de Thanh Hoa.\n\nConsidérée au point de vue agricole, la première région, malgré sa grande étendue, est fort peu exploitée jusqu'à ce jour, n'offre qu'une surface de 73,410 hectares environ cultivée pendant six mois de l'année seulement à cause de l'inondation périodique.\n\nPendant 10 ans, le Bac Giai qua croît lentement; un arbre d'une dizaine d'années a de 2 à 3 mètres de hauteur et produit fort peu, ne donnant plus de 1 à 2 kilos. A partir de dix ans, sa croissance et sa production croissent rapidement jusqu'à 30 ou 40 ans, âge où l'arbre commence à dépérir et meurt.\n\nLes Annamites sèment la graine de Bac Giai qua dans la terre fumée; elle sort de les semis de 2 à 3 ans; quand l'arbre a de 0,20 à 0,30, c'est-à-dire de 2 à 3 ans, ils le déplantent et le repiquent; un arbuste de cette taille est vendu 7 à 8 tiens. L'arbuste repiqué est abandonné à lui-même.\n\nLa deuxième région, c'est-à-dire le bas du Delta, produit presque exclusivement du riz et du coton. Elle est limitée au nord-ouest par l'arroyo de Pha-Nho; au nord par la province de Nam-Dinh et le Day, à l'est par la mer, et au sud par la chaîne de montagnes qui la sépare du Thanh Hoa; elle est formée de terrains montagneux dans sa partie sud-ouest, et dans sa partie est de terrains d'alluvions qui s'accroissent de jour en jour.\n\nLes terres qui forment cette partie de la province sont légères, sablonneuses et également propres à la culture du riz, du coton, du mûrier et des plantes potagères annamites.\n\nL'agriculture fournit au commerce du riz, du coton et du thé annamite. Dans le huyen de Kim-Son, un commerce assez important de joncs pour nattes se fait avec la Chine.\n\nPendant ce mois, les agriculteurs se sont livrés au repiquage des rizières pour la récolte du cinquième mois, ont cueilli les diverses espèces de tubercules semés en mars, l'année précédente.\n\nLe prix du picul de riz ordinaire a été...",

Les différences qui existent entre le taux de la piastre de Ninh Binh et celui d'Hanoi et d'Haïphong font que ces prix sont intérieurement à ceux de ces deux places. Les nombreux achats de boeufs faits dans le courant de ce mois ont élevé leur prix au Thanh Hoa et l'ont porté de 50 ligatures à 65 et 70 ligatures.\n\nL'industrie dans la province est fort peu développée, on ne peut guère signaler que dans le Phu Nho une fabrique de fers forgés, nécessaires à l'agriculture, et de lances. Les Muongs fabriquent eux-mêmes dans les montagnes des fusils à mèche de forme spéciale, mais en bien petit nombre et ne pouvant faire l'objet d'un commerce. Il en est de même de leurs soies (Pha Lao), peut-être d'une qualité supérieure à celle des Annamites et qu'ils ne semblent vouloir produire que pour les besoins de leur consommation.\n\nLe commerce du riz, le plus important de la province, se fait un peu à Ninh-Binh, mais surtout à Phat-Diem et à l'embouchure du Day. Ce dernier point me paraît appelé un jour à être l'un des points les plus importants du commerce au Tonkin et peut-être le grand port de l'avenir. Les jonques de mer si nombreuses qui font le cabotage entre toutes les côtes de l'Annam et le Tonkin, pénètrent dans les provinces du Delta où elles vont échanger leur sel et leur saumure contre le riz qui leur manque, par l'embouchure du Day où les agents des grands centres de commerce viennent acheter leur cargaison. D'un autre côté, c'est par cette voie seulement que pendant une partie de l'année les fortes canonnières peuvent remonter à Hanoi. Un chenal creusé facilement dans la barre du fleuve le rendrait accessible aux navires à vapeur de fort tonnage et offrirait au commerce de tout le Delta des avantages incontestables que ne saurait leur offrir l'embouchure du Cua-Cam.\n\nUn moment interrompus, par suite d'une baisse considérable survenue sur le marché de Hong Kong, les achats de riz ont repris depuis quelques jours dans la province.\n\nPar suite de ces achats, les riz, dont les prix courants étaient de 7 à 8 ligatures, se vendent 9 ligatures le picul.\n\nPendant cette saison, les transactions sur les cotons sont à peu près nulles. Les grandes exportations qui se font couramment en Chine de coton d'Hainan sont ralenties en ce moment.\n\nLes bois de construction venant du Thanh-Toa sont toujours l'objet d'un grand commerce sur le marché de Phat-Diem.\n\n## AVIS & COMMUNICATIONS \n\n### Ministère de l'instruction publique, des beaux-arts et des cultes\n\n#### Académie de Paris.

Aux États-Unis, notamment, de nombreux imprimés provenant de France tombent en rebut pour ce seul motif.\n\nIl est donc recommandé, dans leur propre intérêt, aux expéditeurs et plus particulièrement aux éditeurs de publications périodiques, de revêtir les journaux et imprimés à destination des pays d'outre-mer, de bandes larges et assez consistantes pour résister au frottement qui se produit dans le trajet. Les paquets pesants et volumineux doivent, en outre, être consolidés au moyen de ficelles disposées de manière à être facilement dénouées.\n\nEnfin, la reproduction, sur l'exemplaire même, de l'adresse que porte la bande ou enveloppe extérieure, peut être considérée comme une précaution utile.\n\n## SÉNAT \n\n**Séance ordinaire 1888**\n\nMM. les sénateurs sont informés que les obsèques de M.

        "content_text": "# PRIZE DAY AT THE CENTRAL SCHOOL\n\n## Enclosure 3\n\nThe annual distribution of prizes took place at the Government Central School on Saturday morning in the presence of a considerable number of visitors. The prizes were presented by His Excellency the Acting Governor, who was accompanied by Mrs. Mash. Amongst those present were the Right Rev. Bishop Burdon, Hon. F. Stewart, L.L.D., Acting Colonial Secretary; Hon. W. Keswick, Hon. Wong Shing, Lieut.-Colonel Murray, A.C.G.O.; Mr. A. G. Romano, Consul for Portugal and Brazil; Captain Porter, A.D.C.; Dr. Eitel, Inspector of Schools; Rev. Dr. Chalmers, Rev. Dr. Faber, Rev. J. C. Edge; Brothers Cyprian and Williams, of St. Joseph's College; Mr. Granville Sharp, Mr. Hamilton Sharp, Mr. Wei Yuk, Dr. Ho Kai, Mr. J. H. Cox, and several ladies.\n\nMr. G. H. Bateson Wright, the Head Master, opened the proceedings by speaking as follows:-\n\nMay it please Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, the total number of boys on the school roll for the past year was 596. Of these 499 were present at one time in the month of March. It might be supposed that this increase of numbers was due to overcrowding of the school. It will be therefore as well to explain that the numbers in the Middle, Lower, and Preparatory Schools remained at their old figure; the increase must therefore be attributed to the Upper School and is the direct result of the higher standard of work introduced two years ago into the Middle and Lower Schools. Out of 412 boys just examined 95 per cent. passed, the same percentage as last year, but as more boys underwent examination and the papers were of a more searching character, I think the result may be considered of a higher order. This year I introduced as a novelty into the examination of the first class a \"general intelligence paper.\" The object of this paper was to discover how far the boys' minds were educated outside the general routine. 32 per cent passed, and, considering the novelty of the paper, I hope this may be considered satisfactory. In the past year we may note the arrival of Mr. Jones, from Chester Training College, and the resignation of Mr. Hutchison on leaving the Colony. Mr. Hutchison had for three years proved himself a most energetic, successful, and popular master, and we were all sorry to lose him. A scheme for articling six pupil-teachers, with a view to providing efficient Chinese assistants for the Central School, was approved by the Secretary of State, and we are only waiting for the new building to be fairly commenced to put it into execution. I am happy to be able to report that Mr. Bosman, who was sent home as Government scholar last February, is distinguishing himself at the engineering school in connection with the Crystal Palace. Before I sit down I must express a hope that Your Excellency will be able to make some statement respecting the progress of the new school.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-Mr. Wright, ladies and gentlemen, I confess it is with some feeling of disappointment that I find myself called upon to preside here again in this room at the annual distribution of prizes of the Central School, for, if I remember aright, on the last occasion when I presided here, now three years ago, I was able to announce that the Secretary of State had decided the long-vexed question whether there was to be a new Central School and had given instructions for the erection of a new and much larger building than the present on the piece of ground close by here, which was acquired for that purpose many years ago. I confess that at that time I entertained a hope that in three years' time the main building would have been ready, and that this distribution of prizes would have taken place in the hall of the new Central School, or Victoria College, as Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to allow it to be called. The plans were prepared and the ground got ready, and the foundations were laid. The work was then stopped. I believe I am to a certain extent responsible for that - partly responsible, for towards the end of 1884, when His Excellency the Governor was away from this Colony, the finances of the Colony were in rather a bad way, the revenue was not coming in so fast as usual, retrenchment became necessary, and I had to give directions for the suspension of the work. After that some modification of the plans was necessary, and then the officer of the Surveyor General's Department charged with the preparing of these fell seriously ill and I believe has now gone home. The work has been resumed during the past week, and I am informed there are 200 men at work this morning. A sum of $50,000 has been provided in the Estimates for this year for the completion of the building, and I earnestly trust there will be no further interruption of the work, and that by the end of the year, if the new College is not completed, it will, at any rate, be so far advanced as to render it possible without much delay to make use of the building. (Applause). I have in my hand the report of the Head Master for the past year and that report is a highly satisfactory one. The number of pupils attending the School, as the Head Master has just informed you, has been larger than in any previous year, and the percentage of those who passed was 95.38. I propose to read to you only one paragraph concerning a subject to which this Government has always attached great importance, viz., English education:-\n\nThe general result of the English Examination of 1885 is good. In spite of the large number, 412, examined, and in spite of the papers being of a more searching character than usual throughout the school, 95 per cent. passed, which reflects great credit on all the Masters and the Chinese Assistants. I think a special word of commendation is due to the two new masters, Mr. Dealy and Mr. Jones, who in one year have so readily and completely adapted themselves to their new surroundings.\n\nI think this Report, considering all the disadvantages which the School has to contend with owing to confined space, the want of proper ventilation and other causes, reflects great credit upon the management of the School, and I beg to congratulate the Head Master and his assistants on their success. I wish I could express the hope that the distribution of prizes would take place next year in the new building, but I am afraid that would be too sanguine a hope. At any rate, I think within two years' time there will be a very good chance of the building being completed. I will use every endeavour in my power to push on the work. I understand from the Head Master that there is a gentleman present who has been connected with educational matters in England for about 25 years, who takes some interest in this School and wishes to express his views on the subject. I call upon Mr. Hamilton Sharp.\n\n**Mr. HAMILTON SHARP**-Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, there is a little misapprehension. I had no wish nor any thought of intruding any remarks, for I am a mere stranger and visitor amongst you, and do not know much of the working of the school. In the most casual way I have had the pleasure and privilege of looking at the papers, and I remarked then that I only wished His Excellency could see them as I had seen them, but I never thought of being asked to make any remarks here.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-We shall be very glad to hear you, Mr. Sharp.\n\n**Mr. SHARP**-If there be any subject in the world I do understand, it certainly is examinations and examination papers, because I have for the last quarter of a century been very much mixed up with examinations held in England at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and London, at which I suppose some 20,000 of our youths and young men are annually examined. If that gives me any right to speak, I am very glad to say that I visited the school the other day, at least I hoped to do so, but I found the school dismissed, much to my regret, and I was turning away, when Mr. Wright saw me, came forward, and, to my great surprise, asked if I would like to see the examination papers. I at once seized upon the opportunity and spent an hour or two, through his great courtesy, in carefully looking through these papers, and I must say I never saw a series of examination papers - and I have seen a great many hundreds, or thousands - which gave me such unqualified surprise and satisfaction. My first thought was that it was all very fine to write these papers, but I would like to see them answered, because I have seen questions answered very indifferently. I timidly threw out a suggestion, because I knew that this might be a tender point, when to my surprise Mr. Wright at once put a hundredweight of papers before me with the cordial invitation to pick and choose amongst them at random, and I was as much surprised with the answers as with the papers, with the exception, of course, of English composition, which is not first-rate, but when you come to think that English to the Chinese is what Chinese is to us, there is no very great wonder that they write English as they do. I cannot praise the English as such, but otherwise the... \n\nPage 93\nFeb.",

        "content_text": "# Prize Distribution Event\n\nThe intelligence shown by the answers was extraordinary, and the knowledge likewise. They were not show papers, meant to mystify the public by appearing more difficult than they are. They are thorough testing papers, and evidently written with the view of testing the common-sense and intelligence of the boys as much or even more than their scholastic knowledge, which is a great point. The most interesting of the ordinary papers were those on history, geography, arithmetic, and grammar; but there was one extraordinary paper, the like of which I never saw in any school or college but one; it was headed \"**General Intelligence Paper**\". You might judge from that that the questions not only were not based on ordinary scholastic teaching or to test how much a boy knew, but rather his common-sense and his power to apply what he had been taught. I will just give you two questions, if I can remember them, which struck me very much. One was: \"Describe and distinguish between the functions of judge, jury, barrister, and solicitor.\" I am told the Chinese are very well aware that there is a great deal of law in Hongkong one way or the other, and it is rather important that the Chinese should grow up with intelligent ideas on that subject. Another was intended evidently to see if a boy could apply his mathematics, and was: \"If a kite were in the air and you wanted to ascertain its height, how would you go about it?\" This does not require any very abstruse calculations, but I am afraid many mathematicians would fail in it. I am detaining you too long, but I can say that if the work of the school can be at all fairly gauged from what I saw in cursorily going through the papers, you Hongkong people and you Chinese boys and men are most immensely to be congratulated. I say without hesitation, if I may venture upon such an assertion, that the education given here will compare favourably with the education given in the best schools and colleges in the old country. (Applause).\n\nAlthough the composition was poor as composition, it was wonderfully good for Chinese, far better than we can write in Chinese, and if the Head Master will allow me, I will have much pleasure in offering a prize next year to the boy who comes out top in English Composition.\n\nMr. WRIGHT - Mr. Bain of the *China Mail* gives a prize for that subject.\n\nMr. SHARP - Then may I change it to the other paper, that of \"**General Intelligence**\"? Would you kindly give the prize to the boy who comes out highest in that paper?\n\nMr. WRIGHT - With pleasure.\n\nMr. SHARP - And possibly I may be allowed the favour of putting in a couple of the questions myself?\n\nMr. WRIGHT - Certainly.\n\n...\n\nMr. SHARP - I have no more to say except one word to my English friends round me. Good Hongkong people are choosing to give such a wonderfully good education to the Chinese - and I should be the last to take exception to it - but if you are doing it - and you are - what are you going to do with your own sons to keep them abreast of it, and who ought ever to be ahead of it? And you Chinese men and boys, for I see there are both among you, may you prove worthy of this very grand education you are receiving. (Applause).\n\nHis EXCELLENCY then distributed the prizes, and at the conclusion of the distribution, said - The boys, I understand, will now go for their holidays, and return after the Chinese New Year. I take this opportunity of informing the visitors that they see present only a portion of the boys attending the school. This room will not accommodate more than 180, whereas there are 412 attending the school, so that you only see a small portion of those who are receiving their education here. When the new building is completed, I believe the Hall will be sufficiently large to admit of the whole of the pupils assembling.\n\nCheers for the Queen, the Administrator, Mrs. Marsh, the Head Master, Visitors, and Donors of Prizes brought the proceedings to a close.\n\n## Prize List\n\n### SPECIAL PRIZES\n\n| Prize | Winner |\n| --- | --- |\n| Morrison Scholar | Chaung Tsoi |\n| Stewart Scholar | Lo Sing-lan |\n| Senior Belilios Scholar | Lo Kit |\n| Junior Belilios Scholar | Ho Man Ying |\n| Translation into English | Lam Tsun Kwai, watch, by the Hon.

This is a clear case of purchase and sale, and is not a case of giving the boy as a set-off against debts. After the boy is once sold, Mr. C is permitted to bring him up to manhood, and give him a name. He must remain as Mr. C's adopted son for ever, and when he is grown-up, Mr. C is likewise at liberty to engage a teacher to teach him. If in future, he attains to fame or becomes illustrious, takes a wife or concubine, and has children and grandchildren, all these concern Mr. C's family. May he follow his (adopted) father's trade, and have a never-ending line of descendants! May he henceforth have a numerous progeny and everlastingly enjoy prosperity! Hereafter, the vendors cannot go back on their word, or redeem the boy, who is for ever prevented from taking back his own father's surname.

        "content_text": "did not expect from such rude blustering barbarians the decorum and sweet reason. ableness of the celestial family. Again and again in Chinese proclamations, addressed to the Co-Hong, for the information of foreign merchants, is the principle laid down, with brutal frankness, that barbarians should be ruled by mis-rule. We knew little about the Chinese in those days and they knew even less about us. And there is no doubt that the treatment was due to official ignorance of the outside world. Their training, their position as inheritors of an old and unbroken civilisation infinitely superior to the semi-savage states around them, made them the exclusive, self-conceited, and arrogant men they were, and believing as they did, and knowing how essential it was to their own personal advancement to keep matters among the barbarians smooth and quiet, it is not surprising to find them acting as they did. All the same, however, it was very unsatisfactory for the Canton merchants to find their persons and their property at the mercy of every whim and caprice of a Mandarin. Nous avons changé tout cela!\n\nThere was the name but in reality no freedom of trade. It was true that the monopoly of the East India Company—whose title, by the way, of \"Honourable Company\" is quietly adopted now-a-days by nearly every merchant who adds Co. to his firm name—had ceased three years before, but the merchants were still limited in their dealings to the thirteen merchants, a long suffering race of honourable men, on the whole, who in addition to being freely bled by the provincial authorities whenever money was wanted, were the only means of communication that foreigners had with the provincial authorities. The whole of the trade was confined to Canton; the Spaniards had a right of trade with Amoy, but it was seldom used.\n\nOn the 21st of June, 1837, the latest home date was London, Feb. 3rd. The whole amount of shipping, outward and inward, for the week ending the 20th of June, consisted of 10 vessels—3 from India via Singapore, and 2 from Java ports; 1 for the United Kingdom, 2 for Manila, and 2 for India. Letters were sent home by private ship or by the intrepid Wagner's overland route. Communication with the outside world was kept up by passage boats to Macao and Lintao. These only held eight or ten passengers, and were very uncomfortable. Messrs. Jardine, Matheson endeavoured to run a steamer, but as it was fired at when passing the Bogue forts, its time had not yet come.\n\nThere were few banking facilities in those days. Merchants paid in specie, which they kept in their own strong rooms, and obtained advances on produce from the East India Company, who were not above a little pawnbroking. The opium dispute, not to be settled till June in this year, kept the community lively. But what made all this life endurable was the immense value of the trade itself, as then estimated. It was in the hands of comparatively few. The British residents were about forty-five, many of whom doubtless were mercantile assistants, and they controlled among them the British trade, amounting to $6 millions of dollars per annum. Doubtless this is great, but it is only when we compare it with the trade of Hongkong with its outturn of forty millions sterling, and add to this the trade of the ports from Pakhoi to Newchwang and the riverine ports from Shanghai to Ichang, that we can realize the advance made in commercial matters alone during the half century.\n\nNor, do we think, will our rivals for this trade deny us the meed of praise, that it is to the persistent energy, aye, and to the blood of Britons, that this New World for commerce and enterprise has been thrown open to all the nations of the West.\n\n# THE CELEBRATION OF HER MAJESTY'S JUBILEE IN HONGKONG.\n\nThough later than other colonies in celebrating the Jubilee of the Queen-Empress Victoria, it must be admitted that in no part of Her Majesty's vast and widely scattered dominions has the event been more royally and demonstratively kept than in this the most eastern of her dependencies, and it will be worthily commemorated by the erection of a fine statue of the sovereign who for half a century has swayed the sceptre so beneficently and so well.\n\nA gigantic programme had been arranged for Wednesday and Thursday, the 9th and 10th November, and for its complete success fine weather and a still air were necessary. The colony was fortunate in this respect; each day dawned clear, bright, and unclouded, a brilliant sun lighting with its garish beams the manifold decorations, the oriental pomp and gorgeous magnificence of the Chinese procession, and imparting life and colour to the gay and varied scenes on which it shone; while the clear bright night on Wednesday was so still, yet cool, that the million lights which flashed from tower, roof, and front, or blazed luridly from the hill tops, or sparkled on the glassy surface of the harbour scarce flickered under the zephyrs that idly played across them. All circumstances favoured the occasion, and the projected splendour of the jubilation was amply realised.\n\nAll classes of the community—usually so intently absorbed in business—gave themselves up to pleasure and display, and the good city of Victoria resounded with the beat of drum and crash of cymbal, or thunder of cannon, or hiss and bang of fireworks throughout its waking hours with scarcely a cessation during the two days' round of rejoicing.\n\nThe Jubilee of the Queen-Empress will undoubtedly remain a red-letter day, especially among its younger population, who have certainly never imagined anything like it before, while many of the children of larger growth can truly say that some of its features are unequalled in all their experience.\n\nThe picturesque and beautiful situation of Victoria, with its long and curving sea frontage and its noble background of steeply towering hills, lends itself peculiarly to well-planned decoration and it is only fair to the executive of the Jubilee Committee to say that they made the most of the opportunities afforded them, with the result that soon after darkness fell upon the land on Wednesday evening a new world of glowing beauty and fairy-like loveliness sprang into existence, and afforded such a sight as never before had been seen on these shores, and will not soon be witnessed again.\n\nBut underlying all the beauty and magnificence of their material aspect one feature, reposing in sentiment, renders the events of the past two days of special significance, namely the universality of the demonstration. It was indeed the Jubilee of Britain's Queen, but in the rejoicing upon the suspicions occasion all united; the people of every clime and every race joined hands in doing honour to the Sovereign under whose protection they live and prosper.\n\nThe people were abroad in the streets early on Wednesday full of intense expectancy, and in the Chinese quarters preparations for their huge procession commenced with dawn.\n\nPage 528",

        "content_text": "## APPENDIX\n\nThe Hongkong Daily Press, evidently deriving his knowledge of General Sargent's war services from Hart's Army List, arrived at the erroneous conclusion that he was promoted for his services at the Battle of Inkerman. He was recommended for promotion in the words quoted, when serving with his Regiment during the siege, but he did not receive that honour until the fall of Sebastopol, when he was again wounded, as mentioned in Despatches; and in the return called for of officers of the 95th Regiment \"who served with zeal and distinction during the siege,\" General Sargent is shown as the senior of the three Captains named. Colonel Hume was then in command of the Regiment, and in his temporary absence, when it was commanded by Colonel Heyland, an order came for the submission of two names to receive the first two Crosses of the Legion of Honour to be given to the Regiment, and the names sent in were those of Captain Sargent and Private Abbott.\n\nLike the gentlemen who prepared and signed the Address, the Editor of the wharf about a quarter past three, and later his Excellency the Governor, attended by his Aide-de-camp, appeared on the scene. General Sargent, accompanied by Mrs. Sargent and the Misses Sargent, arrived in chairs some time afterwards. On the General's stepping out of his conveyance, the guard of honour presented arms, the Band striking up at the same time, after which three cheers and one, or rather three cheers more, were given for the gallant veteran. After bidding his military and other friends adieu, General Sargent, accompanied by Governor Bowen, General Cameron, and a number of other officers, proceeded to the launch, upon stepping on board of which the shore battery fired a salute. The Band was then marched down to the wharf and formed up at the landing place, and as the launch moved off from the pier, they struck up \"Auld Lang Syne,\" vigorous cheers being given at the same time for the departing veteran. The playing and the cheering continued until the launch had placed a long stretch of water between her and the wharf, the General during all this time standing up, with his face turned towards the pier and his right hand up to his head in military saluting fashion, while the Governor, General Cameron, and other officers remained on the wharf bareheaded, waving adieus to General Sargent. As the launch steamed past, salutes were fired from the Victor Emanuel and the U.S. flagship Trenton. A very large number of the leading and other residents of the various Nationalities in Hongkong had assembled on the mail steamer waiting for the General, the Volunteers being in force in full dress uniform. The upper deck, in fact, was crowded, and it was with difficulty one could push one's way through.\n\n(\"The Address, with list of names and the General's reply, here follows)\n\nHis war services, briefly summarized at the Horse Guards for submission to Her Majesty the Queen by His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, in the words published in the Army Estimates for 1875-76, under the head of \"Rewards for Distinguished Services,\" were as follows:--\n\"Served: In the Danubian Campaign of 1854, and in the Crimea; present at the Battle of Alma (wounded and mentioned for determined bravery); repulse of the sortie on the 26th of October; the Battle of Inkerman, where he commanded his regiment and brought it out of action, using a rifle himself with remarkable effect, and was wounded at the fall of Sebastopol (mentioned in Despatches, the Brevet of Major, Medal with three clasps, 5th Class of the Medjidie and Turkish Medal, and Knight of the Legion of Honour).\n\nAlso in the campaign in China in 1860 with the 3rd Foot, including the action of Sinho, in which he commanded the advanced guard, and the taking of Tonghoo; in command of the advanced outposts towards the Taku Forts, and as Allied Commissioner (most favourably mentioned in Despatches, Medal with Clasp and Companion of the Bath).\"\n\nAt the Battle of Alma, the 95th Regiment had six officers killed (including \n* This occurred in a very critical position, where every rifle was of the greatest importance, especially when cut off as he was for a time by another Russian column that occupied the ground whence the 95th had been ordered to charge the enemy down the hill; and his shot-holed great coat and forage cap, (the dress worn by the 2nd Division,) showed how hard the enemy tried to take his life.\n\nPage 212",

In the Pên taido, where this plant is both figured and described, and in the Chih wu, where only a description is given, it occurs under the name Wan t'o lo fa. The name Nao yang hua is also found in both these works, but, as a synonym of \n\nYang chih chu, a plant which from the excellent figure in the latter, is unquestionably a species of Azalen or Rhododendron. The observations of Tata- rinov prove that in the North of China a species of Datura is known by the first name:8 and the investigations of Lou- reiro, J. Russel Reeves, E. H. Parker and ourselves, establish, so far as the Kwang- tung province la concerned, the identity of the second name with the plant under notice. \n\nIn the Pên là'ao, the following occur as synonyms of Wan t'o lo hua, viz., \n\nal \n\nC.

In his Flora Cochin- chinensis, (p. 136)-a work defined by Dr. Bretschneider as 'a valuable monument of conscientious labour and considerable re- search—it is mentioned as a soporific, inebriant, and antispasmodic. The smoke of the bruised root is described as affording \n\n1. Pên ta'ao, Ch. XVII., Fig. No. 366; Chih wa, Pt. 1, Ch. XIV., p. 56 and Pt. 2, Ch. XXIV., p. 19 (figure). In the N. of China, there is stili some confusion surrounding the flowers known as Nao yang hua and Yang chih chu. In Ta- tarinov's catalogue the former are mentioned as derived from a species of Hyoscyamus (No. 309) and the latter are doubtfully referred to H. niger (No. 223). Porter Smith states that the n- dromeda, Hyoscyamus and Azalea are more correctly called by these nates.' (Cont. to Mat. Med., p. 84). Soubeiran and Dabry de Thiersant state that their specimens were solely those of an Azalea. (Mat. Méd., p. 191). 2. Cut, med, sin., Nos. 177 and 476. \n\n3.

In the Kwangtung pro- vince, it is used to produce stupefaction for the purpose of theft or kidnapping, and wa have seen many such cases brought before the courts. \n\nA plant called by the Chinese Nas yang hua had long been known to Police Magis- trates in Hongkong, as furnishing material in use by robbers to drug their victims; but, although frequently brought to notice in the Law Courts, we have failed to find any reference to warrant our assuming that prior to 1882 it had been identified by the authorities with the well-known Datura alba.2 \n\nIt is singular that in only one of the ex- tensive series of reports of Medical Officers to the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs, do we find any reference to the wao of Datura by the Chinese. This occurs in Dr. Dudgeon's report on the health of Pekin for the half-year ending March 31st, 1875,8 where it is stated to be recommended in all wind diseases (convulsions): when eaten, unconscious laughter is set up, and the person acts as if intoxicated. It may be used as an anaesthetic, and in infusion as \n\n1. We give Loureiro's account of the uses of Datura because of the high value of the ob- servations he makes on the medicinal virtues of the plants mentioned in his Flora. He remarks Ilabitat inculta per vias et hortos in Cochin- China, in China et in Africa, ubi a me sæpo examinata; but does not say to which country the uses subsequently detailed are applicable. The description tallies, however, with the ac- counts of more recent investigators. (See Bret- schneider, Ear. Eur. Res., for an opinion on the value of Loureiro's work in particular and that of the Jesuits in general). \n\n2.

On this point I will read what is said to me by a gentleman, whose position is one likely to render him specially well acquainted with the subject. \"The value of Marine and Inland Lots has not in my opinion declined since 1888. The intrinsic values of town and suburban lots have increased within the last two years to the extent of $2,000,000 at the least by new buildings and improvements. Even where no improvements have been effected, no house property in Victoria can be purchased now, under ordinary circumstances, at a less price than in 1888. House property in the villages has increased in value, particularly at Yaumati, and the only apparent depreciation is in suburban property, which is occasioned solely from over-building. A great increase in rentals took place in 1888-89, owing to the great number of two-storied houses which were then pulled down for the purpose of building houses of three stories in their place. During the period of pulling down and re-building, there was a dearth of house accommodation, and many families left the Colony, not being able to pay the higher rates demanded. I find that Chinese tradesmen formerly paying at the rate of $35 were compelled to pay $50 a month for rent or leave and lose their business. Then came the over-building, upwards of 700 new houses being built to meet a demand for about 150 houses. The reduction of rents followed, of course, but I do not find that rents in Victoria have decreased, except in cases where they had been previously raised to an almost prohibitive extent, and there is no general appearance of reduction in capital values.\"\n\nNow, though this gentleman may possibly be somewhat over-sanguine in his views, I myself have reason to believe them by no means far from the truth, and I know them to be correct as to the increased value of land in the villages. In any case, they make clear that some of the causes of depreciation are entirely consistent with the absence of any general decline of prosperity.\n\nTo sum up the situation. While it must be admitted (1) that a large sum of money has been lost to the Colony in outside enterprises, (2) that, owing to the great building operations of recent years, the supply of houses is now considerably in excess of the demand, and (3) that the value of land has consequently fallen below what I not indistinctly intimated as the inflated values of 1889; on the other hand, there are: (1) in the prosperous condition of all our leading enterprises and industries, (2) in the increased quantity of shipping at a time of unusual depression all over the world, (3) in the increase of the regular trade of the Colony, as evidenced by the Imperial Customs returns—and considering all things (4) even in the small decrease, if there be any decrease, in the Bank deposit accounts—there are, I say, in all these things indications of distinctly favourable promise for the future, and such, I venture to think, as give strong grounds for the belief that any depression that exists is merely temporary, and, as on many former occasions in the history of Hongkong, is only the precursor of still further increase of prosperity at no distant time. It may be judged, therefore, from what I have said that I do not at all share the gloomy anticipations of the Honourable Member. You no doubt have frequently observed that the organisers of Chinese processions, in order to make a more imposing show of followers, will engage coolies whose labour-soiled rags are barely hidden by coats thrown over them, resplendent in gold and colour. Now, it seems to me that the Honourable Member has reversed this process, and has succeeded, for the moment, but only I trust for the moment, in throwing a squalid covering over the brilliant uniform in which Hongkong usually appears to the outside world, and which I shall still venture to believe is rightly belonging to her.\n\nBefore coming to the financial position of the Colony, which the Honourable Member regards as so unsatisfactory, I think it right, however invidious may be the duty, of touching on another subject, akin to it, respecting which the Honourable Member's statements, if left without criticism, would do a serious injury to the credit of the Colony, if, as is probable, it should shortly become necessary to raise a loan for Public Works.\n\nAfter giving various reasons why the Revenue was likely to dwindle, and why, presumably, if confined to its present sources, it would be insufficient to meet existing charges on it, he proceeds to say that the taxes are already very high, and that, though rates at 13 per cent. on the rental appear moderate, they are in reality heavy, inasmuch as rents are here about three times as high as in England; in fact, he gives the impression to the outside world that the taxation of the Colony is already exceedingly burdensome, and that the Government relations with the people of Hongkong are analogous to those of a landlord with rack-rented tenants. I venture to think that in this matter he has given a very wrong impression; and, in fact, speaking from experience which is by no means a narrow one, I can state the confident belief that, with probably the single exception of the people of the Straits Settlements, if that be an exception, the people of Hongkong are less taxed, and probably far less taxed, than any other equally or more important community in the whole world, having a pretension to civilised Government. There are, indeed, within my experience, very few cases where an urban population has not to pay other heavy direct or indirect taxes, besides all the rates and taxes in an equal or greater degree which are paid by the people of Hongkong. To take the case of the mother country, with which the Honourable Member has instituted a comparison in the matter of rents. There are few, if any, important commercial or manufacturing towns in England where the rates are less than 6/- in the £, or 30% on the rateable value, and this independently, where it has not been commuted, of some -/9 in the £ inhabited house tax on the actual rental; and I was informed only the other day by a proprietor of houses in the City of Norwich that the rates there were 18/- in the £ (90%) on the rateable value, or some 80 per cent. on the actual rental. I do not forget what the Honourable Member alleges as to rents here being about three times as high as in England, but there, as in other passages of his speech, I am disposed to think that he has unwittingly used the language of hyperbole. No doubt, there may be found places in England where houses are cheaper by thirds than here, but, on the other hand, I know well that there are other places where they are not only not cheaper but considerably dearer than here, and, judging from what I have learned from a gentleman specially experienced in this matter, I apprehend that the case would certainly not be understated if rents here are estimated at double those of England for houses of equal size in equally favourable situations as regards similarly important centres of business. The mere rates of Hongkong, independently of the inhabited house tax, are therefore certainly not above, and probably below, the average rates of commercial towns in England, and considerably less than half those mentioned in the case of Norwich; and, in this view, it is scarcely necessary to point out that the rate-payer of Hongkong is in an incomparably more advantageous position than the English rate-payer. For the latter has to pay, in addition to his local rates, not only all other taxes that are paid here in an equal or greater degree, but he has also to pay income tax, property tax (in addition to the inhabited house tax before mentioned), servants' tax, succession duties, sometimes tithe rent charge, besides heavy duties on his wine, spirits, tobacco, and tea, from all of which the Hongkong rate-payer is entirely exempt. Indeed, if it were fully understood here how heavy are the burdens on people in England in similar positions with those of the people of Hongkong, I am unable to conceive that there would be the same display of opposition to the increased Military Contribution. For, however unpleasant it may be to be asked to pay for what has hitherto been obtained free or for a comparatively small payment, I do not think there would be begrudged a contribution, which is, after all, but a small proportion of the cost of defence, if it were understood that our fellow-countrymen at home are far more heavily taxed than we are, and it were borne in mind that they are alone paying the debt which enabled Great Britain and her people all over the \n\n## \n464",

        "content_text": "# MATERIALS FOR A HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN HONGKONG,\n\nMr. Stanton. Forty English children (23 boys and 17 girls) received here a purely English education, at an expense of $657. During the same year the R. C. Society de Propaganda Fide organized a School for English children, commencing with 7 scholars, taught by Mr. Cane, at an expense of $169. The Anglo-Chinese School of the Morrison Education Society, taught during this year by Mr. Brown assisted by Mr. Bonner and a Chinese Master, had this year (since 10 March, 1845) brought as many as 30 boys (all boarders) under instruction, at an expense of $2812. Mr. Donald Matheson undertook the treasurership, the popular Police Magistrate Mr. C. B. Hillier acted as corresponding secretary. But, although Sir John Davis, the new Governor, also lent his influence to the Society by becoming its Patron, the annual grant from the Superintendency of Trade (under direction of the Foreign Office) was discontinued at the close of the year 1845, and the ardour of the friends of this Society was considerably damped by a conspicuous falling off of local public subscriptions, ascribed to the depression of trade which set in about this time. The School, however, continued to make good progress and was examined month by month by a standing Committee appointed for the purpose. In the absence of Dr. Legge, the London Mission Society's Anglo-Chinese College was taught during this year by the Rev. W. Gillespie, assisted by a Chinese Master, and cost the Mission in 1845 the sum of $2025. In addition to these English and Anglo-Chinese Schools, 9 Chinese Schools were reported as at work in Hongkong, with a total of 149 Chinese boys in average attendance. Three of these native Confucian Schools were reported as located in the Western District (Sheungwan and Saipingpan) of Victoria and one School in each of the following villages, viz. Aberdeen, Little Hongkong, Stanley, Taitamtuk, Sookonpoo, and Wongnaichung. As to the future St. Paul's College, the Rev. V. Stanton was informed by the Colonial Secretary (8 April, 1845) that a site would be allotted for the College he intended to build, immediately behind the Harbour Master's Hill and between the part occupied by Lieut. Pedder's house, which had been set aside for the Church, and the upper road leading from the Government offices across the ravine to the western part of the town, and that the Surveyor General would be directed to mark off the boundaries as soon as Mr. Stanton's plans were sufficiently in progress to enable him to state distinctly how much ground he required for his establishment.\n\n## 1846\n\nUnder the tuition of the Rev. S. B. Brown, assisted by a new teacher obtained from America, Mr. G. Maey, who took Mr. Bonner's place, the Morrison Education Society's School, now attended by 22 Chinese boys, was favourably reported upon by the monthly examiners. The expenses of the School amounted in 1846 to $2812. The Anglo-Chinese College, under the Rev. W. Gillespie, added during this year a Girls School to its establishment and had 19 boys and 7 girls on its roll, costing the Mission the sum of $2025. Mr. Stanton's Children's School was throughout this year under the tuition of Mr. F. Drake and Mrs. Bright, with an average attendance of 18 boys and 15 girls, who received an English education at a cost of $661. The other English School in the Colony, that of the R. C. Propaganda, was likewise continued with a change of teachers, Dr. A. Balbiani having undertaken the tuition of the School which was attended by 21 European and Chinese pupils and cost the R. C. Mission $675. As to the elementary Chinese Schools, 12 Schools were at work during this year in the same localities as during the preceding year and included an average attendance of 181 Chinese boys.\n\n## 1847\n\nDuring this year, Mr. Stanton's English Children's School, under the tuition of Mr. F. Drake and Mrs. Lambert, and attended by 24 boys and 24 girls, continued to flourish. The cost of the School amounted to $900. The R. C. Mission discontinued its English School but continued their Seminary preparing Chinese and others for the Roman Catholic priesthood and giving to 20 boys, under the tuition of Mr. Theo. Turby and one of the priests, an ecclesiastical European education in the Chinese language with Latin in addition. The expenses of this Seminary, which has been continued ever since down to the present day, amounted in 1847 to $787. This School eventually succeeded in training a native clergy. As to the Anglo-Chinese School of the Morrison Education Society, the Rev. S. B. Brown left Hongkong for the United States (4 Jan. 1847) taking with him 3 scholars to complete their studies in America and was succeeded by Mr. W. Maey who continued to give to 23 Chinese boys efficient instruction. But the funds of the Society, whose expenses rose in 1847 to $2646, were now in such a state that grave apprehensions were entertained as to the stability of the institution. The Anglo-Chinese College, supported by the London Mission, continued its previous course under the direction of the Rev. J. T. Cleland, with an attendance of 19 boys and 8 girls, and at an expenditure of $873. As to the elementary Chinese Schools, there appears to have been a slight falling off in the number of Schools during this year, as only 9 Schools appear to have been at work with 175 boys in average attendance.\n\nBut the close of this year has become historically noteworthy for the establishment by the Government of a Grant-in-Aid System, which has come down to the present day, though with important modifications. On 6 November, 1847, the Governor, Sir John Davis, appointed Mr. C. B. Hillier (Chief Magistrate), the Rev. V. Stanton (Colonial Chaplain), and Mr. A. L. Inglis (Registrar General) a Committee for inquiring into the present state of the Chinese Schools at Victoria, Stanley, and Aberdeen, with the view to measures being taken to encourage one Chinese School at each of the three aforementioned places under Government supervision. The Committee were at the same time informed of the intention of the Government to grant a contribution of $10 a month for each School and requested 'to report upon the method which, in the opinion of the Committee, may be most beneficial for the appropriation of the said grant.'\n\nAs the principal educationist on this Committee, Mr. Stanton, was known to be in favour of no other but religious education, and as the chairman, Mr. Hillier, was understood to hold the same views, the Government added to their instructions the following vague caution: \"Care must be taken to impress upon the minds of the parents of the students that no interference is to be permitted with their religious prejudices, such being the terms on which the contribution (of $10 a month for each School) is to be made.\" The Committee were fully reminded that the two points to be ascertained by them were, first the most worthy objects for the contribution or grant, and second the most certain means of preventing an abuse of funds.\n\nThe issue of this remarkable document, signed by Colonel W. Caine, who was then Colonial Secretary, and addressed to Mr. Hillier, constitutes an important turning point in the history of local education. The action of the Government, in resolving to establish a system of Grants-in-aid and in assuming this peculiarly lenient attitude towards religious education, merely guarding its secular position in relation to the Chinese by an undefined caution in place of a distinct conscience clause, must be read in the light of what transpired in the Imperial Parliament during this same year. For it was in the year 1847, when the annual educational vote, which Lord Melbourne's administration had, in 1839, placed under the dispensation of the Educational Committee of the Privy Council, came before the House of Commons, that the question of religious education in Schools receiving a Government grant... \n\nPage 7 \nPage 3720",

The studies in the outside Schools were to consist of the same books as above, including books prepared by foreigners, but this was to be done warily but firmly. While these rules, devised by Dr. Legge, were observed, the Central School turned out youths as well grounded in their own language as in English, but of late years these rules have unfortunately become a dead letter.\n\nThe strictness with which the Board kept the Headmaster in their leading strings will be seen from the fact that not only was the whole organization of the School under Mr. Mackenzie's Memorandum and Dr. Legge's foregoing Minute imposed upon the Headmaster, but the latter, though graciously allowed by the Board (7th April, 1863) to appoint monitors at his own discretion, could not admit new boys into the School except under Dr. Legge's approval. Yielding at last to the reiterated recommendations of the Board, the Government secured towards the close of the year, the engagement of an English Assistant-Master through the Colonial Office, which selected Mr. Willcox as Dr. Stewart's Assistant. A suggestion by Dr. Stewart (3rd November, 1863) to require the parents of scholars to enter into bonds for their attending school for a definite period was disallowed by the Board. In their report, for the year 1863, the Board refer to the separate establishment of Aided Schools in four villages and to the institution of a gradation of rank and pay among the Masters of all the Schools as having been found salutary measures. As the attendance of the Aided Schools is not reported now, the average attendance of the Government Schools in 1863 fell to 406 scholars, among whom there were but 20 girls in the Government Girls School which had been opened during the year 1863.\n\n### 1864\n\nSt. Paul's College School, attended by 42 boys (of whom 5 were Europeans, the rest Chinese), was under the tuition of Mr. Reeve, and cost $3,000 during the year 1864. At the Diocesan School there were 35 Chinese girls receiving an English education in the English language under Miss Euton (expenses not recorded). Miss Baxter placed her Staunton Street Schools, with 20 boarders, under the tuition of Miss Oxlad, assisted by Miss Ainsworth. Her Chinese School, with 27 girls, was continued as formerly, at an expense of $840. In Bonham Road (at the house which has ever since been known as Baxter House and at present is used as a Police Station) Miss Baxter, assisted by Mrs. Thompson, established her Eurasian Boarding School with 48 boys and 14 girls, costing her $3,600. The London Mission, having closed their Girls School, continued their two Boys Schools, one at Taipingshan with 40 Chinese boys, and the other at Wantsai with the same number of scholars, at a cost of $108. The Berlin Mission School now numbered 20 girls under Miss Heidsiek.\n\nThe three Roman Catholic Schools of the Propaganda Society in Wellington Street were continued as before. Mr. Terry had 45 boys in the English School which cost $840. The Portuguese School, under Mr. V. Pereira, was attended by 35 boys, costing likewise $840, and Mr. Tuen Lau gave 30 boys a purely Chinese education at a cost of $144. But a new School appears to have been added, in 1864, by the Propagation Society, as Mr. Yadia Geu (P) taught a R. C. English School for Chinese boys in Wellington Street at a cost of $210. The same Society continued also its Aberdeen School, with 18 boys under Mr. Stepbanns Chu, at a cost of $144. The two Seminaries were also continued. The one in Pottinger Street under Bishop Raimondi and Fathers Favini and Origo was attended by 11 students, costing $600. The other at Soukonpoo, under Père Jacquemin, counted 16 students and cost $720. A new institution, which has come down to the present day, was added, in the year 1864, to the list of Roman Catholic Schools, viz. the Westpoint Reformatory, under Ignatius Ip Uen, James How, Aloy Leang and Asam Wan. Here 45 Chinese boys were taught various Chinese industries (shoemaking, carpentering, tailoring, bookbinding etc.), at a cost of $1,400. This is the first and, up to the present, the only industrial School ever started in Hong-kong. The Sisters of the Italian Convent continued their three Schools in Caine Road at a cost of $1,800. The English School under Sisters Aloysia and Antoinetta was attended by 24 girls. The Portuguese School included 53 girls under Sisters Virginia and Maria. In the Chinese School, Sister Magdalena had 50 girls under instruction. The same Convent continued also its Home in Spring Gardens as a Chinese School under Sister Cecilia Leang at a cost of $144. Under the direction of the Asilo de la Sainte Enfance, Sister Magdalena taught at Spring Gardens 50 Chinese girls at a cost of $600, whilst Sister S. Lucien instructed 55 girls at a cost of $624. We observe that Roman Catholic educationists had by this time outstripped in activity their Protestant competitors, and the sequel will show that they continued to hold the first rank until the introduction of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme revived the energies of Protestant Missions.\n\nDuring the year 1864, the Board of Education, virtually under Dr. Legge's inspiration, passed several resolutions of interest. In reply to a complaint by the Headmaster of the Central School, who had observed that some of his most valued scholars left him to join the English classes of St. Paul's College and therefore made renewed suggestions as to preventing this defection, the Board resolved (5th January, 1864) that the prevention of boys leaving the Central School to enter St. Paul's College is beyond the powers of the Board and that the objects of the two institutions need not be regarded as dissimilar (a strange assertion, considering that St. Paul's College was started to raise a native ministry) or antagonistic and that the Board have no doubt but that the Central School will ere long acquire a sufficient status of its own. So it did, as soon as it was out of the leading strings of the Board. A month later (2nd February, 1864) the Board resolved (and this resolution has remained in force to the present day) that the sum of $200 be set apart for the purchase of prizes to be given among the Schools, and that such prizes be distributed after a public examination in the last month of every year, the appropriation of them being determined by proficiency in studies, general conduct and regularity of attendance. Another resolution (which has also remained in force ever since) was passed (13th July, 1864) to the effect that, in accordance with the Governor's suggestion, a system of fees should be introduced in the Central School and applied to all scholars attending the English classes from 1st January, 1865. Public interest in the doings of the Board appears to have been rapidly waning, for all through this year it happened frequently that no quorum could be obtained at the meetings of the Board. The Inspector of Schools was therefore informally asked to take a seat on the Board and was thenceforth its most regular attendant until the Board (12 months later) died of inanition.\n\nIn their Report for the year 1864, the Board recorded, besides 142 scholars in the Central School, a number of 469 scholars as attending eleven outside Schools, showing thus a great falling off as compared with the attendances of former years. The Board hardly recognized the significance of this falling off and attempted to explain it by referring to the low moral tone of many of the Masters, the extreme indifference (?) of the poorer classes of Chinese in this Colony to the education of their children, and to the prejudices they entertain against any change in their own system of education. The Board also point out that the more respectable Chinese seldom bring their families to the Colony (a fact happily changed now), and that so long as this is the case, it is greatly to be feared that education will not make that progress here which those interested in it could wish to see.\n\nPage 390\nPage 391",

        "content_text": "## MATERIALS FOR A HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN HONGKONG\n\nThe cause of this change lay simply in giving the Mission Schools free scope under the Revised Scheme of 1879.\n\nAs to the Protestant Schools at work during the year 1873, they exhibited, quite apart from the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, renewed activity. The Diocesan School with 16 boys and 9 girls continued under the tuition of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur, and cost $4,475. The Colonial Chaplain (Mr. Kidd), following the example of Union Church, started a Sunday School at St. John's Cathedral, attended by 53 boys and 34 girls, and added, moreover, a regular night school for 25 boys taught by himself and his Scripture-reader. At the Berlin Foundling House, Miss Schroeder had 15 Chinese girls under tuition, and the Basel Mission Girls School under Rev. J. G. Loerober gave instruction to 58 Chinese girls (boarders) costing $1,088. The London Mission Schools at Wantsai and Taipingshan were attended, the former by 51 and the latter by 36 Chinese boys. St. Stephen's Boys School at Taipingshan (under the Church Mission) was attended by 56 boys. To the foregoing Schools the Female Education Society added, in 1873, three new Chinese Schools, all named after Miss Baxter, and superintended by Miss Oxlad, viz. one in Staunton Street, attended by 30 girls and costing $168, a second in Hollywood Road, attended by 13 girls and costing $180, and a third in Second Street, Saiyingpun, with 19 girls, costing $310.\n\nAmong the Roman Catholic Schools of the year 1873 we refer first to St. Saviour's College. This School, now taught by Messrs. J. Terry, J. M. da Silva, Kwok Sin and How Chin (a sensibly reduced staff), was attended by 120 scholars and cost the Propaganda Society $2,100. Only the English Division (taught by Mr. Terry) was placed under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. The same Society continued also its Spring Gardens School, under Mr. Leung Yow, attended by 30 Chinese boys and costing $54. The Seminary is not mentioned in the records of this year. At the Italian Convent 40 girls were under tuition in the English School, 35 girls in the Portuguese School and 49 boys (under 10 years) in the Anglo-Portuguese division. The Chinese School of the Convent is not mentioned in the statistics of the year 1873. At Spring Gardens the Italian Sisters had under their tuition, in their Anglo-Portuguese and Chinese Schools of St. Joseph's Convent in Francis Street, 8 boys and 10 girls. At the Asile de la St. Enfance there were 9 boys and 81 girls under the instruction of the French Sisters of St. Paul de la Croix.\n\nThat the Protestant Schools were now coming up closely in number of attendances to the Catholic Schools, is evident from the foregoing returns which show that (not counting the Cathedral Sunday School) there were, in 1873, 184 boys and 144 girls attending Protestant Schools as compared with 207 boys and 186 girls in Catholic Schools.\n\nAs to the Government Schools, Dr. Stewart's report for 1873 counts 1,667 boys and 171 girls enrolled in Government Schools at a net cost of $14,477.90 (or $7.88 per head), as compared with 309 boys and 134 girls in Grant-in-Aid Mission Schools costing the Government $285.10 (or 59 cents per head). Dr. Stewart reports, as a new experiment, that he started during this year an Anglo-Chinese School at Aberdeen.\n\n## 1874\n\nAmong the Protestant Schools of the year 1874, nearly all of which exhibited a marked increase of attendances, we mention first the Diocesan Home and Orphanage School, under the tuition of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur. It was attended by 18 boys and 18 girls (all boarders) and cost $4,900. St. John's Cathedral Sunday School was attended by 16 boys and 30 girls (among whom there were 5 Chinese children). The regular night classes under the direction of the Colonial Chaplain (Mr. Kidd) were attended by 24 boys. The Church Mission's St. Stephen's School at Taipingshan had 88 Chinese boys on its roll, costing $200. The Baxter Schools, under Miss Oxlad, flourished. Staunton Street School, with 43 girls, cost $420. Hollywood Road School, with 53 girls, cost $240. The Saiyingpun School, attended by 32 girls, cost likewise $240. The Berlin Foundling House School, under Miss Schroeder, had 36 girls under instruction, and at the Basel Mission School there were 1 boy and 49 girls attending the school supervised by Mr. Loercher, which cost $1,032. The London Mission Schools at Wantsai, with an attendance of 72 boys, and at Taipingshan, with 74 boys, cost $120 each. Not counting the Cathedral Sunday School, the regular Schools under Protestant management were attended by 278 boys and 220 girls, during the year 1874. Seven of the above Schools (3 Baxter Schools, 2 London Mission Schools, the Church Mission and the Basel Mission Schools) were under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme.\n\nAs to the Roman Catholic Schools of the year 1874, the only School under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme was St. Saviour's College with an average attendance of 75 boys, under the instruction of Messrs. J. W. Terry, J. W. Cullen and W. Kelly. The College was now separated from its former Chinese Division and its Anglo-Chinese Division appears to have been dropped. Thoughts were already entertained by the Propaganda Society of ceding to the Brothers of the Order of St. Joseph the duty and responsibilities of giving to the Catholic boys of the Colony an English or Anglo-Chinese education. The Chinese School in Wellington Street, under Mr. Leung Kwok-yin, was attended by 20 boys and cost the Propaganda Society $360. In St. Francis Street (Spring Gardens) the same Society continued also their Chinese School, attended by 15 boys. The Italian Convent reported, for this year, only two Schools in operation, costing $360, viz. a School of 50 boys and another of 80 girls. At the Asile de la Sainte Enfance there were 20 boys and 181 girls under instruction, the cost being reported as having amounted (probably for the whole Convent) to $1,950, but the Government made this year a grant of $60 a month to this Convent. The total of scholars, reported as having been under Roman Catholic instruction during the year 1874, amounted to 411 children (180 boys and 261 girls), or 61 children less than those under Protestant instruction.\n\nIn the secular Government Schools there were under instruction, during this year, 1,931 children (viz. 1,759 boys and 172 girls) of whom 528 attended the Central School—a very great increase. The typhoon of 1874 frustrated Dr. Stewart's hope of seeing soon a new Central School Building erected.\n\nDr. Stewart also refers, in his report, to the need of the preparation of an Arithmetic book for the Chinese Schools outside the Central School, a need still felt and still unfulfilled. Likewise also the need of a Training School, referred to in the same report, is still an unsupplied desideratum. A Morrison Scholarship, on a provisionally secular basis, was connected with the Central School by the Trustees (Rev. J. Lamont, Dr. Stewart and Dr. Eitel) after much hesitation, as Mr. Lamont and Dr. Eitel naturally insisted that a Scholarship commemorating the famous pioneer of Christian Missions in China should not be established on an exclusively secular basis. But Dr. Stewart again proved inexorable and a compromise was effected to avoid litigation. Among the Schools under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, one undenominational School (Victoria English Boys) is mentioned, taught by Mr. Huulon and attended by 48 boys. It received a Grant of $84. The total amount of Grants-in-Aid paid by the Government for the year 1874 amounted to $1,391.50 or $2.20 per scholar enrolled. The net cost of the Government Schools amounted to $14,585.32 or $18.32 per scholar enrolled at the Central School and $3.59 in the outside Schools.\n\n## 1875\n\nThe Diocesan Home and Orphanage School, under the tuition of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur had, during the year 1875, an increased attendance of 23 boys and 13 girls,",

        "content_text": "# MATERIALS FOR A HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN HONGKONG.\n\n## 48\n\nGrant-in-Aid Schemes expressed the dissatisfaction generally felt, by Protestants as well as Catholics, with the sacrifice of principle which the ultra-secular character of the Scheme demanded of Missionary School-managers. Dr. Stewart now proposed, in order to retain at least the Protestant Mission Schools under the Scheme, to raise the values of passes and to give a capitation grant on the basis of the average attendance.\n\n1877. St. Paul's College School, under the tuition of Mr. A. J. May, was continued, during the year 1877, with an attendance of 183 boys, under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. This was probably the highest attendance the School ever had. The Diocesan Home and Orphanage School, under Mr. and Mrs. Arthur, was this year also placed by Bishop Burdon under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, attended by 33 boys and 15 girls, costing $4500. The institution received from Government its usual grant of $100 and the School moreover earned a grant of $226. St. John's Cathedral Sunday School was attended by 35 boys and 16 girls. The two Chinese Schools of the Church Mission, at St. Stephen's and at Suiyingpun, were attended by an aggregate of 175 boys, costing $622. The four Baxter Schools, whose expenses were up to the preceding year defrayed by the Baxter family, were now entirely provided for by the Female Education Society. They had, under the superintendence of Miss Oxlad, now assisted by Miss Johnstone, an aggregate attendance of 243 Chinese girls and cost $962. At the Berlin Foundling House, 40 girls were under Miss Schroeder's instruction, and a branch school was opened in High Street by Mr. Wong Chim, but the attendance is not recorded. The Basel Mission had three Schools at work, during this year, under the Rev. G. Reuach, who thenceforth was most energetic in promoting the educational interests of this Mission. The Girls School had an attendance of 51 girls (all boarders), costing $770, the new Boys School had 35 scholars costing $158, and the Shaukiwan School costing $117 was attended by 13 boys and 4 girls. The two London Mission Schools had an aggregate attendance of 110 Chinese boys in Wantsui and Taipingshan, and cost $370.\n\nSt. Joseph's College, under Brother Hidalph assisted by 6 Brothers of the Order, had an attendance of 198 scholars and cost $3,200. The Italian Convent Schools, having been re-organized, were now divided into a Young Ladies Boarding School with 22 scholars, a Boys Day School with 20 scholars, a Girls Day School with 115 scholars, an Orphan School with 136 girls, an Infant School with 39 girls and a School for the Blind with 7 girls under instruction. The cost of the whole institution is given as amounting to $6,000, but how much of this sum is purely educational expenditure is not recorded. The Propaganda Society continued its four Schools, viz. the Seminary with 10 students under the instruction of Bishop Raimondi, an Anglo-Chinese School with 32 boys under Mr. L. Leung, a Chinese School (in Wellington Street) with 34 boys under Mr. T. Leang, and the Spring Gardens Chinese School with 23 scholars under Mr. A. Leang. These four Schools cost the Society $1,810. The Industrial Schools of the Reformatory, under Brother Isfried and two Assistants, were attended by 61 boys and cost $4,600. The former Government grant appears now to have been withdrawn. At Spring Gardens, the Italian Sisters continued their two Day Schools (connected with the Hospitium of St. Joseph), attended by 10 boys and 33 girls under the instruction of Sister Galli and 2 Assistants. These Schools cost $800. The French Sisters of the Asile de la sainte Enfance had 4 boys and 130 girls under instruction and received from Government a donation of $720. Mr. Ryrie having resigned (27th April, 1877) the managership of Mr. Hanlon's Secular School, this School (Victoria Boys School) now came under Roman Catholic management, through Mr. J. J. dos Remedios, together with Mrs. Hanlon's Girls School (Victoria English Girls School) and a new Portuguese School started by the Misses Remedios. These three Schools had an aggregate attendance of 66 boys and 68 girls.\n\n## 49\n\nNot counting the attendances of the Cathedral Sunday School, we find that in the year 1877 the Roman Catholic Schools once more outstripped their Protestant competitors in educational energy, there being 1001 scholars (481 boys and 540 girls) under instruction in Roman Catholic Schools and 864 scholars (501 boys and 353 girls) in Protestant Schools.\n\n| Category | Number of Scholars | Boys | Girls | Cost |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Government Schools | 2148 | 1891 | 257 | $19,137 |\n| Grant-in-Aid Schools | 998 | ... | ... | $3,753 |\n\nIn the Government Schools 2148 scholars (1891 boys and 257 girls) were enrolled at a cost of $19,137, the cost per scholar on the roll being $15.87 at the Central School, $7.55 in the outside Schools and $4.25 in the Aided Village Schools. On 998 Protestant and Catholic scholars in 14 Grant-in-Aid Schools the Government further spent $3,753 or $3.78 per scholar. In his report for the year 1877, the last of Dr. Stewart's regime as Head of the Education Department, Dr. Stewart referred to the amendments made in the Grant-in-Aid Scheme (by raising the monetary value of passes) and remarked that the knowledge that the Amended Scheme was to contain more advantageous terms than the Original Scheme acted as a powerful stimulus to both Managers and Masters and the results were very satisfactory. No wonder: the value of a pass in the lowest Standard in purely Chinese Schools ($2 at the present day) had been raised from $2 to $5.\n\nBut this very increase of the value of passes in the lowest kind of Schools called forth renewed complaints on the part of Protestant and Catholic Managers who had Schools of a higher grade to bring under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme but were deterred from doing so by the determination of the Government to force all Schools accepting State Aid into the strait-jacket of an exclusively secular Grant-in-Aid Scheme. Among the protests put forth against the secular system adopted by the Government was a pamphlet published by an anonymous Roman Catholic author, entitled 'Dates and Events connected with the history (1857 to 1877) of education in Hongkong. Hongkong, 1877.' Another anonymous pamphlet, 'The Central School-Can it justify its raison d'être,' probably by the same writer, argued that the Government should confine itself to provide elementary Schools for the education of the poor and leave the well-to-do middle classes to pay for the education of their children in higher grade Voluntary Schools. The writer urged the adoption of a policy which would give more scope to a liberal Grant-in-Aid Scheme instead of turning the Government into a schoolmaster.\n\nAll the flaws of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme referred to in the above pages were eagerly taken notice of by the newly-arrived Governor Sir John Pope Hennessy, and when Dr. Stewart left the Colony on furlough, early in 1878, the offices of Headmaster and Inspector were separated and an advocate of 'secular education for Government Schools and religious education for Missionary Schools' was appointed Inspector of Schools and Head of the Education Department. The Grant-in-Aid Scheme was now, with the approval of the Secretary of State, stripped of both its elementary and secular character, simply by striking out the words elementary and secular wherever they occurred in the Code. The limit of 20 scholars in attendance was also abolished, and Building Grant regulations were added. Otherwise the Scheme was left as it stood. The effect was very great. When Dr. Stewart retired from the Inspectorate of Schools, in March 1878, there were 12 Mission Schools and 2 Catholic Private Schools under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, with a total of 996 scholars. The revised Scheme came into force in 1879, and in 1880 there were 27 Mission Schools (4 of which were Catholic) with 1,808 scholars under the Scheme.",

'Petrolia' near Blaye. We beg to inform you that this was caused by crude oil from vilchi every explosion on a tank steamer live chison, and as you know, both the Quay regulations & the rules prevailing at Hong Kong itself, ensure that only refined Petroleum is carried on tank steamers.\n\nWe have now before us the Arthur memorial under date of July 1st.,1922. There is no point in this which is not fully dealt with in the copy of correspondence published by the Foreign Office, a copy of which we addressed to you by last mail, and you will at once see that your memorialists have been arguing upon entirely false premises. The trade at present carried on in cases is doubtless far more dangerous to shipping (if indeed there is any danger) than is the transit in bulk. The reason of the inception of the bulk business is the proved risk arising from shipping oil in the rail packages in which it now travels, leakage having in some instances amounted to twenty-per-cent. This, as a matter of fact within our knowledge, oil is at present carried 'in bulk' viz,-from accumulation of leakage during the voyage, in steamers absolutely unfit for this. It permeates below the ceiling and down into the bilges, besides frequently saturating the greater part of the cargo of wooden cases with oil, rendering them highly inflammable.\n\nA steamer with the quantity of cases a Tank Steamer carries would be about 20 days discharging, with the grave risk of collision to lighters, taking those dangerous packages from the ship to the shore, and again handling them there. Whereas the cargo of a tank steamer is never for a single moment exposed but goes direct from the vessel, through pipes, into the tanks, and this in a space of less than 24 hours as compared with 20 days occupied by a cargo of cases.\n\nThe fallacy of your memorialists' arguments cannot...\n\nPage 63",

        "content_text": "406\n\nMr. Leach in opening the case, said the facts briefly were as follows. The prisoner was employed by Messrs Arthur and Co., whose manager here was Mr. Ogilvie, and he owed them a sum of about $900. Mr. Ogilvie in January last pressed for payment and the prisoner told him that although he had not the cash he would give a promissory note backed by a guarantee. Chan Yau Lok was mentioned as the surety and it was expressed, his willingness to sign. A promissory note was drawn up by Mr. Ogilvie and signed by the parties, but later on it was found to be worthless by the fact that it was unstamped. Mr. Ogilvie went to the office and told the prisoner that the note had no value and that a new one would have to be drawn up on duly stamped paper. The original document was returned to the prisoner, and a new promissory note was made out. The prisoner went to Chan Yau Lok to get it signed as his guarantor and returned with the signature. From what Mr. Ogilvie learned afterwards, however, it transpired that Chan Yau Lok denied the signature and disputed his liability. The prisoner was therefore charged with forging Chan Yau Lok's signature and uttering the forged note.\n\nEvidence was then taken.\n\nThe jury returned a unanimous verdict of guilty and His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.\n\n22nd May.\n\nIN ORIGINAL JURISDICTION. BEFORE HIS HONOUR J. ACKROYD AND A SPECIAL JURY.\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND\n\nFIRE IN QUEEN'S ROAD WEST,\n\nTHE NATIONAL BANK OF CHINA, LIMITED, V. HIM KEE ALUM This was an action brought by the National Bank of China, Limited against Him Kee Alum, trader, of Foochow, to recover £2,460 4s. 5d. or its equivalent in dollars, due by the defendant on shares held by him in the plaintiff company, and for interest thereon at the rate of ten per cent.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., and Mr. H. E. Pollock (instructed by Mr. Wright, of Mr. V. H. Deacon's office) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. E. Robinson (instructed by Mr. Bowley, of Mr. H. L. Deacon's office) represented the defendant.\n\nThe following special jury was empanelled: Messrs. H. M. Joseph, M. S. S. Sassoon, J. T. V. Vernon, J. B. Donghtyric, J. J. B. Heemskerk, B. C. Wilcox, and W. B. Loxley.\n\n(May 24, 1894.) DEFEAT OF THE ANTI-FOREIGN PARTY IN JAPAN,\n\nWe learn that a telegram has been received from Tokyo stating that in the House of Representatives the motion for the adoption of an address to the Emperor, of which the prominent feature was the Radical idea of the strict enforcement of the treaties, has been defeated.\n\nOn the morning of the 15th inst., about 6 o'clock, a fire broke out at No. 127, Queen's Road West, occupied by a second-hand clothes dealer. The outbreak centred on the ground floor, attributable, it is said, to the upsetting of the inevitable kerosine lamp, and the flames quickly spread to the upper stories. When the Brigade under Mr. H. Wodehouse and Deputy Superintendent Horspool arrived they found the whole place in a blaze. The fortunate circumstance that there was little or no breeze was somewhat discounted by the difficulty in getting water, as in the pre-treaty stipulations, which would preclude foreigners from residing outside the lists of the treaty ports and how difficulties in the way of travel in the interior.\n\nWith very praiseworthy briskness, however, the steam was got up on the engines and in a few minutes, some good streams of water from the half-an-hour's work sufficed to remove all danger as the coolies were playing on the flames. About the whole of No. 137 was destroyed and the adjoining houses suffered slight damage by fire and water. The contents of No. 137 were insured for $4,400 in the Hamburg and Bremen Fire Insurance Company, for which Messrs. Carlowitz & Co. are agents.\n\nTHE BOTANICAL AND AFFORESTATION REPORT.\n\nThe following report of the Superintendent of the Botanic Gardens, report on this department for the year 1893.\n\nHongkong, 7th May, 1894.\n\nSir,\n\nI have the honour to submit the annual report on this department for the year 1893.\n\nBOTANIC GARDENS.\n\nAfter the fire had been extinguished, the partition wall between No. 137 and No. 139 fell down, and six men and women, who had entered the basement to recover some of the damaged goods, were buried under the debris. The police at once set to work to rescue the unfortunate people and, strange to say, found that only one man was at all injured, and he not seriously. The others were almost unscathed. The injured man was removed to the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nAt the Magistracy on Thursday Mr. H. E. Wodehouse opened an enquiry into the circumstances of the fire at 137, Queen's Road West, which occurred on the 15th.\n\nMr. G. C. C. Master (of Messrs. Johnson, Stokes and Master) represented the fire insurance agents, Messrs. Carlowitz and Co.\n\nInspector Mackie is in charge of the case for the police.\n\nI am the wife of Wong A Pui, a dealer in fish at Chau Tai, Singapore. I reside in a house in Queen's Road West. I was at No. 137 on the morning of the 15th, sleeping in a room with my three children.\n\nA light which I saw through a hole in the floor of my room attracted my attention, and looking through it I saw a man with a piece of lighted paper in his hand standing over a heap of clothes on which he was pouring kerosine. A moment or two afterwards he applied the light to the clothes and they immediately blazed up.\n\nI shouted \"Burn everyone in the house!\" I got up about 2 o'clock. He made no reply and the other people in the house then ran out. I had been awake some time before I got up and had noticed a smell of kerosine. The hole through which I looked was about a foot long and an inch wide. I could see quite distinctly. I am not acquainted with the people on the ground floor.\n\nThe grounds, plant-houses, buildings, fences, walks and elections of plants have all been maintained in good order, and improvements have been effected in various directions.\n\nIMPROVEMENTS.\n\n1. An additional glass-roofed plant-house 50 feet long by 12 feet wide, situated in the nursery, has been completed. The woodwork has been chiefly made and fitted by our carpenter who is on the staff.\n\n2. Certain walks in the Botanical and Government House Gardens have been concreted. These additions now finish all that is needed in this kind of walk formation.\n\n3. Extensions have been made to rockeries where circumstances rendered these necessary.\n\nLAWNS.\n\nTowards the end of the summer the moths and caterpillars mentioned in paragraph No. 14 of my last report again appeared, but having learnt by past experience the habits of these pests their advent was anticipated, and on their first appearance remedies for their destruction were at once applied and maintained at regular intervals until the termination of their season of activity. By these means the lawns were preserved from injury.\n\nDr. A. Gunther, F.R.S., Keeper of the Department of Zoology, British Museum (Natural History), to whom I sent specimens of the larvæ, chrysalids, and moths for determination, has very kindly informed me that its name is Thialleta signifera (Walk.). The chief injury to the grass is caused by this species, but another one, which appears simultaneously with the Thialleta is also responsible for some damage.\n\nThis one Dr. Günther has also determined from specimens which I sent. It is Pharazia bicarnea (Wlk.).\n\n6. Children continue to run over places where grass should be, but which they have long ago worn away. As the attendants and police are unable to prevent this, it would be advisable to provide low iron fences on the margins of walks where children chiefly congregate, of sufficient height to prevent the children leaving the walks.\n\nMr. Pollok opened the case by reading the pleadings filed and the answer. From these it appeared that when Messrs. Russell and Co. failed the firm was indebted to the defendant for a sum of $10,000 and defendant was indebted to them for $50,000. Besides carrying on their ordinary business as merchants at Foochow, however, Messrs. Russell and Company were the agents for the plaintiff bank, and the plaintiff bank tried to induce the defendant to acknowledge that he was indebted to it for $50,000 instead of to Messrs. Russell and Co. The defendant, however, would not recognise this liability at all. Towards the end of 1891 the defendant was desirous of selling all his shares to Mr. Weeks, a broker at Foochow. Mr. Weeks asked for a transfer of the shares and expressed his willingness to pay any outstanding claims. The bank claimed a lien on the shares and refused to allow the transfer until the $50,000 alleged to be due was paid.\n\nMr. Francis on these pleadings asked for judgment for the full amount claimed. Even supposing all the facts alleged were admitted, he submitted that there was no equitable defence. The only defence really set up was that the bank refused to allow a transfer of the shares, but that was no ground of defence in this case, but only a possible case of action for damages.\n\nMr. Robinson then addressed the Court at great length, first stating that he had not anticipated that a legal point would have been raised until the whole of the case had been laid before the Court and the verdict of the jury obtained.\n\nWodehouse concluded the enquiry into the fire at No. 127, Queen's Road West.\n\nAt the Magistracy, on Saturday Mr. H. E. Wodehouse concluded the enquiry into the fire at No. 127, Queen's Road West. Mr. G. C. C. Master (of Messrs. Jobson, Stokes and Master) appeared for the insurance agents, Messrs. Carlowitz and Co. Mr. J. F. Reece represented the shopkeeper.\n\nP.C. McEwen said that when he forced his way into the shop on the alarm being given he found a quilt on the counter in flames, but the fire spread up the side of the wall and the whole place was eventually destroyed.\n\nThe premises were released.\n\nUltimately the case was adjourned until the next day.\n\nPittosporum tobira on the terrace below the fountain died during the year. This caused temporary incompleteness in the arrangement, but new plants have been put in the place of those which died.\n\nMay 24, 1894.\n\nHONGKONG.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\nThe Hon. T. H. Whitehead leaves to-day by the Empress of Japan.\n\nAt the Magistracy on Tuesday before Commander W. C. H. Hastings a coolie was fined $75, with the option of three months' imprisonment, for having in his possession 29 taels of opium.\n\nThe plague has during the past week continued to claim 30 or 40 victims daily, notwithstanding the heavy rains and the measures which have been taken by the authorities to mitigate the disease. There are indications now, however, that the plague is becoming less virulent, and the returns show a diminution in the number of fatal cases.\n\nH.E. Sir William and Lady Robinson returned to the colony on the 15th inst. after a very enjoyable sojourn in Japan.\n\nMr. Cyril Platt, Private Secretary to His Excellency, has left for Shanghai in order to catch the homeward French mail and thereby avoid the difficulties of booking from Hongkong. Mr. Platt is going home on six months' leave, and during his absence the duties of Private Secretary will be discharged by Capt. Sterling, A.D.C.\n\nIn the fire which occurred near the new reservoir for the Taikoo Sugar Refinery on the 13th inst. even large matsheds were destroyed. A coolie who was endeavouring to save his property was rather seriously burnt about the hands and face and was removed to the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nOur Anjer correspondent writes:-On the night of the 2nd inst. the German ship Christine, from Philadelphia to Hyogo, took the ground at Old Anjer and remained fast for three hours, without any further assistance. The ship apparently made no water, and the captain decided on proceeding on his voyage.\n\nOn Thursday morning a large stone was seen on the tram line as the motor car was descending.\n\nThe breaksman gave the signal to stop the engine and at the same time let go the break. The stone was removed and the break having been unscrewed the car resumed its journey. There was only a momentary delay, and the next car left punctually at its proper time, 12:30.\n\nA meeting of the Odd Volumes\" was held on Friday night, at which a good number of members were present.\n\nMr. J. Stuart Harrison delivered a very interesting lecture on \"The Telephone,\" illustrated by diagrams and practical illustrations.\n\nAt the Magistracy on the 15th inst. A. H. C. Rao, a telegraph clerk employed at the Kowloon Police Station, was fined $10 for removing certain property from his house, which the Supreme Court bailiff had seized under a distress warrant for rent.\n\nThe fine was paid.\n\nOn Saturday evening a smoking concert was given in the Theatre by Mrs. Potter and Mr. Bellew, assisted by several amateurs. It was decided to commence the tournament on June 1st and the first round will be completed by July 31st. The second round will then commence and the entire tournament will conclude on September 30th.\n\nA set of rules regulating the competition were passed and a committee, consisting of Messrs. H. Humphreys, T. H. Reid, and H. E. Pollock was appointed to make the necessary arrangements.\n\nMr. Quong Tart, who arrived from Sydney by the Menmuir, had quite an enthusiastic send-off when the vessel left. The poop was gaily decorated with flags, etc., and the city band was present.\n\nSir George Dibbs, the Premier of New South Wales, was amongst those who attended to wish the traveller bon voyage, and in responding to the toast of prosperity to New South Wales, with which his name was coupled, he remarked that if Mr. Tart succeeded in establishing the wool trade between the two countries, as he was about to try and do, he should have a statue erected in his honour 10ft. high.\n\nIn replying to the toast of his health, Mr. Tart said that he would do his best to further the interests of the wool trade while he was away.\n\nThe health of Captain Craig, the popular commander of the Menmuir, was also honoured.\n\nTart is accompanied by Mrs. Quong Tart and family, and the principal object of his voyage is to pay a visit to his mother, who resides near Mono.\n\nA correspondent writes:-I see in a Trinidad paper which has just reached me a report of a meeting of the Legislative Council, at which was read a letter from Mr. Osbert Chadwick on the water supply and sanitation of Port-of-Spain.\n\nIt is notified that on Friday, the day appointed for the celebration of Her Majesty's birth, His Excellency the Governor will hold a levée at Government House from 12 to 1 p.m.\n\nThe steamer Dvochis, which arrived on Monday from Saigon, reports that the steamers Bengice, Bucephalus, Bantam, Holstein, Decima, and Jacobs were lying in quarantine at Cape Vin.\n\nMr. H. P. Tooker has been appointed Acting Director of Public Works during the absence on leave of Mr. W. Chatham.\n\nWe understand that the Hon. J. B. Stewart Imokhart, who was elected Chairman of the Victoria Recreation Club for the ensuing year, has declined the honour.\n\nA meeting of chess-players was held on the 15th inst. at Bank Buildings in connection with the recently formed Club, for the purpose of arranging a tournament.\n\nMr. H. E. Pollock presided.\n\nThere were 729 visitors to the City Hall Museum last week, of whom 93 were Europeans.\n\nEarly on Monday morning a junk was capsized at Murray Pier in a squall. No lives were lost.\n\nThe lung Wah Hospital and its temporary branch at the Glassworks have been connected with the telephone system.\n\nFor some time past the villagers of Yau Ma Tei and Yaumati have brought reports of devourings by two tigers and these grew so numerous that at length a party headed by some European sportsmen, armed with a few rifles and miscellaneous weapons, set off in search of the other tigers still supposed to infest the district.\n\nWell, the tigers were tracked to their lair in a rare and they were wide enough not to get choked at two miles from the boundary and shot.\n\nSome trouble has been given by a demonstration of native prejudice and ignorance, this on Saturday and day last giving rise to disturbances in the Pakwanshan district.\n\nThe Government mitigated the trouble by granting permission to place the patients in a hospital on shore under Chinese direction.\n\nOur Tientsin contemporary gives the following particulars:-\n\nMr. James Cantlie, F.R.C.S. Eng., of Hongkong, with Mrs. Cantlie, and Mr. Ernest L. C. Berger, arrived in Tientsin on Wednesday, 9th inst., and left the following morning for Peking and the Great Wall.\n\nThe Glenugle arrived at Woosung on the 13th inst., 39 days from London, including all stoppages. She will be the first steamer this season to lead tea for New York, via the Suez Canal.\n\nMISCELLANEOUS.\n\nAn order has been sent to Europe for two iron towers for the Manila cathedral to replace the stone ones destroyed in the last great earthquake.\n\nThe animals at the Pokfulam Dairy Farm are now quite free from the pleuro which recently broke out there, and only one animal, which is segregated at a distance, is now under treatment.\n\nThe cattle are being inspected by Mr. C. Vivian Ladds, Colonial Veterinary Surgeon, and already 120 have been treated, generally with complete success.\n\nThe annual general meeting of A. S. Watson and Co., Limited, was held on the 19th, the report and accounts being passed without discussion.\n\nOn the 22nd the general meeting of the Humphras Estate and Finance Company, Limited, was held.\n\nMrs. Potter and Mr. Bellew are still performing at the City Hall Theatre and will leave for San Francisco next week.\n\nI am quite satisfied that the separate system of drainage and nothing else is the cause of the plague. Formerly, when all house sewage ran into the storm water channels, it was deponent sayeth not.",

        "content_text": "## C. O.\n\non the subject of the necessity for extending the boundaries of Hongkong.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nI have the honour to be Your Lordship's most obedient humble Servant.\n\nWilliam Robinsy\n\n**REC?**  \nProf 13 MAY 95  \n103\n\n### Honghong Telegraph. 9th April 1895\n\n## ARE WE SAFE?\n\nThe Home Government propose to spend a very considerable sum of money in improving the naval establishments in Hongkong and the construction of docks is spoken of as one of the special works likely to be taken in hand at an early date. Well and good so far, but where are those docks to be constructed so that they shall be out of range of an enemy's guns in time of war? How can they be reasonably protected from capture and destruction by an enterprising enemy, and how are they to be defended? The whole range of hills on the mainland on the northern side of the harbour is Chinese territory. The water ways leading to it are half Chinese - to the mid channel line - and in case of war, let us say by way of illustration, with Japan, would be neutral waters, and Japanese men-of-war might sail in under the guns of the Ly-ee-mun forts and \"fetch up\" where we have repeatedly seen the Chinese fleet at anchor, opposite Chinese Kowloon, and within a couple of miles of Hungham Docks and within gun-shot of every part of the harbour and yet be all the time in Chinese waters and, theoretically at least, entitled to lie there unmolested.\n\nOf course, in case of war their passage through the Ly-ee-mun would be resisted and the channel closed by an effective torpedo defence and mines, but we could not do that without violating the neutrality of China and either rendering her hostile or authorising our enemy to violate that neutrality also, to our serious disadvantage. The Ly-ee-mun Pass is not half a mile wide. The Ly-ee-mun Batteries might be successfully attacked and silenced from the hills on the Chinese side, which command the batteries, and which are easily accessible from Mirs Bay to the north. The entire south side of the island of Hongkong is undefended and within easy distance to the south lies Lamma with deep bays and sheltered harbours under the protection of which hostile ships might assemble out of sight of any of our stations and from which a descent might be made on our shores before the presence of the enemy could be notified in town and men sent out to oppose a landing.\n\nAs far as modern artillery is concerned, how many spots are there in Hongkong waters which are out of range of hostile fire from commanding positions on Chinese territory - hostile territory in the event of war with China, neutral territory if we were at loggerheads with any other Power, but neutral territory which no enemy would under existing circumstances hesitate to violate and utilize against us? China is unable and will be, for many years to come, unable to cause her neutrality to be respected.\n\nIn the event of war between any great naval power and ourselves - say with France, Russia, Germany, the United States or Japan - and any active operations being threatened against Hongkong, the occupation of Lamma Island to the south and of the opposite mainland to the north, or, of certain points on it, would be absolutely indispensable for the successful defence of the city and harbour; for its safety as a place to which our fleet could come to dock, refit and provision; and if this is so would it not be as well, before large sums of money are spent in making docks and increasing the naval establishments to meet the uncertain contingencies of war, to consider carefully whether Hongkong, with its present boundaries, would, in time of war, be a secure place for ships to dock and repair, and, if not, whether it would not be as well - while we may and can - to take or obtain possession of such more extended boundaries as would ensure us against all risk and of which we would most certainly take possession in case of war on the plea of absolutely necessary self-defence.\n\nHongkong is not even reasonably safe to the south, as Lamma is in Chinese hands. Victoria Harbour is not a safe harbour while the hills opposite the Ly-ee-mun and at the back of Stonecutters' Island are open to and at the mercy of an enterprising enemy at no greater risk than that of violating Chinese neutrality, and while an enemy's squadron might, till war was actually declared or warlike operations had actually commenced, lie at anchor in neutral waters within easy gun-shot of our arsenal and magazines. For many reasons, the time has come either for us to think seriously of extending our boundaries a little more widely, or make up our minds to forfeit our claim to the title of the \"Malta and Gibraltar of the East.\"",

        "content_text": "# Kucheng Massacre Meeting in Hong Kong\n\nThe Theatre was crowded in every part by ladies and gentlemen of all nationalities, except Chinese, to mourn the harrowing details of the Kucheng massacre in the neighbouring province of Fukien, which occurred on Thursday, the first instant.\n\nThe proceedings commenced with a few words from Dr. Cantlie, who moved that the Hon. the Chief Justice, Sir Fielding Clarke, take the Chair. The Hon. E. R. Belilios, C.M.G., seconded the motion, and amidst loud applause, Sir Fielding Clarke took his seat at the centre of the table on the stage. The Right Rev. Bishop Burdon was seated on the left, and Mr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., on the right side of the Chairman. The other speakers, Mr. T. Jackson, Mr. G. B. Dodwell, and the Hon. A. McConnachie, were also seated in the front part of the stage, while at the back were Mr. A. G. Wise, Captain W. C. H. Hastings, the Hon. C. P. Chater, the Hon. E. R. Belilios, C.M.G., the Hon. J. J. Bell-Irving, Messrs. E. N. Mehta, H. N. Mody, M. D. Ezekiel, G. Sharp, Dr. J. C. Thomson, and Drs. Cantlie, Hartigan, and Stedman, and other prominent residents. Among those seated in the stalls and pit were Captain Stirling, A.D.C., Mr. G. C. C. Master, Captain A. Tillet, Captain A. W. Miller, R.N., Mr. A. G. Romano (Consul General for Portugal), Mr. J. Kramer, Mr. G. G. Brady, and a very large number of well-known residents, while in the dress circle were a large number of ladies.\n\n## Chairman's Address\n\nSir Fielding Clarke, who was received with cheers, said: \"Ladies and gentlemen, I feel greatly honoured at having been called to the chair upon this melancholy occasion; and I very willingly do so. When these outrages had been made known, I know perfectly well it stirred the deepest and strongest emotion in the hearts of you all, and it is obviously right and proper that the public views of Hongkong should be expressed in a public manner in a way it can be in a meeting of this sort (Applause). The programme I have to submit to you is one of a very limited character—it is to express by your attendance here the sentiments which we all of us feel about this dreadful disaster, and in the forefront of the notice, you will have observed the first thing that can occur to us is to express to the relatives and friends of those poor, innocent, and helpless victims our heartfelt sympathy; sorrow for those who suffered, sympathy for those who are at the present moment in the direst distress. Following and accompanying the softer sense of sorrow, it is now proposed that this meeting should express deep and stern indignation (loud applause) at the treatment of our fellow subjects in a country which is, politically speaking, on friendly terms with Great Britain. Ladies and gentlemen, in attending this meeting here to-day, you are joining in a universal shout which is going forth from the Democracy in England—a shout of indignation (Applause).\"\n\n## Resolution Proposed by Mr. Jackson\n\nMr. Jackson said: \"Ladies and gentlemen, I am sure you will agree with me that in the whole course of the history of our colony, its inhabitants have never been called together on such a sad and melancholy occasion as the present. I remember at the time of the Tientsin massacre, this colony was stirred to the very depths of sympathy for those poor people who suffered, and a similar feeling now prevails throughout the whole community; one universal outburst of deep sorrow for those ladies and poor little children and the one man, the Rev. Stewart, who was wounded and killed. It seems difficult to conceive how these wretches who made the attack could have withheld their sympathy from the appeals for mercy as they hacked and cut up those poor women and children.\"\n\nHe then moved the resolution: \"That this meeting desires to express its sorrow at the cruel murder of so many British subjects, and to pass a vote of sympathy and condolence with the relatives and friends of the deceased.\" He read a Reuter's telegram stating that the soldiers sent by the Viceroy of Fukien to protect the missionary property in Kucheng had instead looted the house of the late Rev. Stewart and plundered everything of value.\n\n## Seconding the Resolution\n\nMr. G. B. Dodwell seconded the resolution, expressing his heartfelt sympathy with the victims and their families. He advocated for moderation in speech to convince the Government to take strong steps. He mentioned that the reports of the massacre and subsequent telegrams showed that the attack was an organised affair, and the Chinese Government was incapable of coping with the disturbance.\n\n## Adoption of the Resolution\n\nThe Chairman declared that the resolution was unanimously passed and would be conveyed to the relatives and friends of the deceased through Bishop Burdon.\n\n## Bishop Burdon's Speech\n\nThe Right Reverend Bishop Burdon said: \"It is very difficult to feel or speak calmly on such a subject as we have before us to-day. Many of the murdered were personal friends of my own. The brutal massacre at Kucheng is only to be paralleled with that of Tientsin in 1870. It arose from the intense hatred of the foreigner. The blow fell like a bolt from the blue, although there had been mutterings of threats for months before, directed against the native Christians.\" He described the events leading up to the massacre, including the Vegetarian Society's enmity towards native Christians and the failure of the local magistrate to intervene.",

        "content_text": "303\n\n(6)\n\nwith the women of the villages and hamlets where they worked. There is no such thing as religious rancour, as we understand the expression, in China, least of all among the poor women among whom the sisters worked. The Chinese, as a people, are simply non-religious. They have a religion of their own, but it has to do with luck and profit in their earthly concerns. There are no religious fanatics among them. When fanaticism does arise in reference to foreigners, it is directed against them as such, and not against the foreigners' religion. I know there is a strong feeling in the mind of many, if not against the propagation of Christianity by missionaries, at least against many of their methods. No doubt missionaries, like merchants, make mistakes. I have myself found fault with some of the modes of working of the missionaries. But God help us if we are to be massacred for our mistakes! The sisters, the children, and Mrs. Stewart were massacred or hacked at simply because they were foreigners and helpless, and now what are we going to do? What steps shall we urge on our Foreign Office? We must urge our Government to re-consider the whole question of diplomatic dealings with China. For long years past, our Foreign Office has been treating the Chinese Government as if it were a civilized Government alive to its responsibilities to its own people and to peaceable foreigners residing by Treaty rights in various parts of the Empire. They have regarded the Chinese Government as having, by its various Treaties with foreign nations, entered the comity of nations. We here know what an utterly false view this is. The Chinese Government, whether at Peking or throughout the Provinces, has not the slightest sense of responsibility with reference to the treatment of foreigners in China. Where foreigners can help themselves, as at the Treaty Ports, things go on smoothly, but where they are defenceless, they are exposed to be robbed or killed by ruffians while the Local Government looks on and does nothing. Since 1890, outrage has followed outrage. In the Yangtze valley, property has been destroyed and lives have been lost repeatedly. In Sz-chuen, lately riots went on for days unchecked, though soldiers were close at hand and might have easily dispersed the rioters. Over a hundred Christian teachers were in imminent peril of their lives. And now, very close to us, comes the ghastliest outrage of all. What are we to do? Are we to be satisfied with the falling off of a few or many heads of coolies or with a douceur of cash? God forbid! (loud applause) What are we to do? Let us place these facts before Lord Salisbury in all plainness that he may understand the sort of Government with which he has to deal. Let him understand that the present Government of China has neither the moral nor the physical power to check these riots against foreigners. I feel I am on delicate ground and think it would not be wise to enter much into particulars; but, if the whole case can be thoroughly represented, there ought to be some severe dealing with high officials and occupation for a longer or shorter time of the offending region. (applause and cheers.)\n\nThe Chairman: Mr. Francis will now move the second resolution.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, who on rising was loudly applauded, said: Ladies and gentlemen, this meeting has been called not merely for the purpose of expressing our deep sorrow at the atrocious crime that has been committed and our sincere sympathy with the survivors of that massacre and with the friends and the relatives of those who are gone, but to express, and I hope express strongly, our bitter anger and indignation—(applause)—not so much at the unfortunate men who, misguided in their ideas as to Europeans, and as to their position and objects in China—not so much against the actual perpetrators of the offence, but against the Chinese so-called civilized government (\"hear, hear,\" and applause) whose officials for so many years have assisted in and connived at the most atrocious outrages against the persons and properties of Europeans in China, to do what, as members of what our Chairman called the Democracy of England, we have a right to do—to express our views and our opinions as to the conduct of the Chinese Government. We are the Democracy of England, however few we may be here as its representatives, and we, the people, the Democracy, are the governors, and not the Ministry, of England, and if, as the Chairman indicated, the Democracy of England call out loudly enough and clearly enough, every Ministry, every Government, must attend to their behests. I ask you gentlemen who are resident in China, who have studied and are intimately acquainted with the Chinese, and who know more or less the history of the last fifty years—I ask you to-day to express clearly your opinion as to the conduct of the Chinese Government; to join in the representation to the Home Government that, in our opinion, every Government official in China, from the Viceroy downwards, is cognizant of what is going on and cognizant of the anti-foreign movement, and sympathizing with it and conniving at it. (Cheers.) We have had abundant evidence that in the recent disturbance in Szechuen, the Viceroy of that province and the highest officials in charge of the Government of that province were not merely cognizant of what was going on but, by their proclamations and their reports which were put in circulation, were permitting the disturbance and urging on the people. We have it from the last speaker that, with reference to this massacre in Kucheng, the officials, from the Viceroy downwards, were aware of what was going on and the threats made against the missionaries. The officials took no precautions to protect the helpless persons resident under treaty in their midst. (applause.) We have not only to express our opinion as to the guilt of the Chinese Government and its officials but we have also to point out to the authorities in England that, in our opinion—an opinion fully justified by the facts—the officials of the Chinese Government have not the power to stay the storm that they themselves have raised. (loud applause.) These outrages are not being committed without their knowledge; they are fully acquainted with them; they are urging the people on. Sometimes a disturbance goes far beyond what they themselves desire, or what they think prudent; and when it does, they are powerless to check it. They have no forces at their disposal to carry out and give effect to the treaty rights which they have granted to Europeans. They are helpless and hopeless; and we might well say that China, in its present condition, is not capable of being reformed. (loud cheers.) A revolution of the deepest and far-reaching character is absolutely necessary; and until the Empire has been broken up and cast into a crucible and melted down, no effective reform of the Government or of the people of China is possible. (\"hear, hear\" and prolonged applause.) Now it is well to be indignant with the Chinese and with the Chinese Government, but if all these facts, if the weakness and impotence of the Government and the connivance of the Government officials in all these outrages have been known to us in years past, they have been also known to our own Government, and we may justly feel indignant with the English Government and with the English Government officials because, in the past, they have neglected their duty towards their subjects resident in the treaty ports in China (applause) and because it is in consequence of that neglect that the recent massacres and outrages have occurred. (applause.) When a crime is committed in any country, punishment ought to follow. If an offence is committed against foreigners in our own country, punishment follows almost automatically by the operation of our laws and by our courts of justice. If our Government officials fail in any part of their duty in any part of the world, they are removed from their posts and incapacitated from further service for the State. What we do ourselves, we are in the habit of demanding from other nations. If a Consul is insulted and offended, an enormous indemnity is demanded, and if not paid, 'blue jackets' are landed and take possession of, say, a town in Central America. (Laughter, cheers, and applause.) Why has not the Chinese Government been treated in the same way? (deafening applause.) As his Lordship the Bishop has pointed out, this is not by any means the first outrage that has occurred in China. There has been a perfect succession of outrages of different degrees of enormity year after year. Compensation has sometimes been given to the sufferers; but has any effective punishment been imposed upon the Chinese Government or demanded by our own; or if demanded, has not that demand been a simple farce? It has never been put in force. (loud and prolonged applause.) The individual sufferers may be compensated and their property restored, but is that a proper amend to the Government whose subjects have suffered, and whose power and government it is? It is not simply sufficient that there should be a restitutio in integrum of the property destroyed; it is necessary that there should be a public apology; it is necessary that officials who have been found guilty, and who have been negligent in their duties, should be removed, and permanently removed; and as between nation and nation, when those demands are not carried out, what are the remedies? In China, as I have said before, compensation has often been given. Some poor coolies, as his lordship the Bishop said, have been executed, but never the actual criminals. (applause.) Censure has been bestowed upon officials, and they have been removed for a day, but promoted the very next, and our Government, satisfied with the removal of them, have never found out that next day they are rewarded by higher promotions. Are we not entitled to ask ourselves to look round and see if any other Government in the world but the English Government would have tolerated outrages such as those which have been committed in China and demanded so little from the Chinese Government? (applause.) I put it to you that the English Government have neglected their duty in regard to the protection of their subjects in China. They have not taken effective measures to protect their representatives in the interior of China. They have a right to be in the interior of China under the treaties, and the missionaries who were murdered the other day at Kucheng had just as much right to reside in the interior of China as we have to reside here, or as any traveller who passes through the country. Their occupation has nothing to do with the question. (applause.) They were British subjects; and it is not a question of what they were or how they got there, or how they were conducting themselves. If they were misconducting themselves—and I am perfectly certain they were not—there is provided by treaty a means by which they might have been punished; but they were murdered in cold blood—murdered by a cruel, heartless mob. (cries of \"shame\" and applause.) And the only redress demanded by our Government is that one of our Consuls should be sent to conduct an enquiry on the site of the massacre, and that he should be escorted to the place by Chinese armed troops. (hisses.) And as you have heard from the telegram just read, the Chinese armed troops which were sent to protect the missionaries on their arrival immediately distinguished themselves by further plunder and destruction of the missionary premises! (hisses.) Now there is but one remedy. The Chinese Government are absolutely unable to give us or the English Government adequate satisfaction; therefore, as between nation and nation, there is but one remedy; satisfaction must be taken. (loud and prolonged applause.) Investigation by Chinese officials is a farce; the investigation must be conducted at the place by a competent European commission and properly supported by an armed force. (cheers.) To rely upon the Chinese authorities for the protection of that Commission...",

Jan 4 1896\n\nEnclosure.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, JANUARY 20TH, 1896.\n\nTHE PO LEUNG KUK SOCIETY'S NEW HOME.\n\nLAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE.\n\nOn Saturday afternoon, His Excellency the Governor, Sir William Robinson, K.C.M.G., performed the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new home for women and girls which is being built by the Po Leung Kuk Society. 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. After tapping the stone, His EXCELLENCY said: \"Ladies and gentlemen, I declare this stone to be well and truly laid, and I ask you now to adjourn to the Tung Wa Hospital Committee Room.\"\n\nA photograph of the group was then taken, and Hon. Ho KAI called for three cheers for His Excellency, which were heartily given.\n\nPage 57",

        "content_text": "406 \n\nby heart, which are very evidently not understood, should be strongly discouraged. On the whole this very important subject is very feeble and disappointing in a school which aims at giving an English education to Chinese boys. Some adverbs are elequar\" can scarcely convey any meaning to the boy who wrote it, and requires some ingenuity for its elucidation.\n\nHistory. The English History papers exhibit a considerable acquaintance with the phraseology of the text-books, but when this is coupled with a very slight ability to explain its meaning it may be doubted whether the system of learning passages by heart is altogether conducive to a satisfactory knowledge of History. It is evident, however, that considerable trouble has been taken by the boys themselves or by their teachers, whereby a large number of facts have been committed to memory. The neatness also of nearly every paper was remarkable, and with few exceptions the writing was excellent.\n\nIn this subject the memories of boys seemed overburdened with details crammed from books. They could repeat what they had learned, and when a question could be answered by doing so, they reproduced exactly paragraphs from their text-books.\n\nGeography. The general impression produced on reading the papers is that the teaching of geography might be greatly improved by the more frequent use of blank maps. In a number of instances sketch-maps of more than ordinary merit were drawn by boys in Class J. Few candidates gave satisfactory answers to the questions in Physical Geography.\n\nShakespeare. Three Acts from \"Henry V\" were offered by Class 1. The papers exhibit painstaking and careful work both on the part of Masters and boys. The best average was obtained in section I. C, A.; in this section every boy passed; one received 90 and another 82 per cent marks. It is worthy of note that a question requiring candidates to summarise in their own words the argument of a long speech was answered by the majority with marked success.\n\nLatin. Of the Latin papers the less said the better. In the divisions I. C, A. and I. C, B. one boy, and one only, came anywhere near the standard offered for examination. All the others failed in the very elements of grammar, where also, with two exceptions, the third divisions failed also. For boys who cannot recognise the parts of speech—far less parse the simplest words—for these to offer several sections of \"Cæsar\" is absurd. In no language more than in Latin are the early grammatical rules important; but we think it unwise that the study of this subject should be continued at present.\n\nBook-keeping. Classes I. and H. were examined in this subject. Papers from Class I. were very good indeed, and those from Class II. fair. The style throughout was satisfactory.\n\nGeneral Information. A paper was set to Classes I. and II. only, affording scope for a variety of information upon current, local, and general topics. Though in accordance with the custom of previous years the marks awarded are used in calculating the total number of passes and failures we do not think it necessary to comment on the relative numbers. The questions at least gave an opportunity to boys of showing how far they understood the meaning of them, and how far they could express themselves when they had anything to answer. Some of the papers were fairly well done, but the majority of boys in Class II. produced many absolutely unintelligible answers. Some answers afforded the examiners considerable diversion amidst a mass of monotonous work.\n\nArithmetic. Classes I.A., I. C, A., and II. C, A. on the whole did very creditably. We think that II. C, A. should be grouped with a higher Class than V. In several Classes there was a deplorable exhibition of careless and inaccurate working. An examiner expects to find the majority of boys did satisfactorily. Boy's seem to be pushed on too rapidly, and before they have thoroughly mastered, so as to be able to accurately apply, the simpler rules. What is required is the use of a very large number and variety of examples carefully graduated and illustrating each rule, as it comes under notice. Few, if any, books contain a sufficient number or variety, but the masters ought to be able to supply them. If this be done there might be more thoroughness.\n\nAlgebra. This subject has evidently been carefully and well taught in Classes I., II. and III. Very creditable papers were sent up by I. A., II. A., III. A. B., and the majority of the work was characterised by neatness and accuracy. Only a few bad answers were sent in by ignorant or careless boys. The unevenness in the percentages of passes in different Classes is not due to difference in the difficulty of papers, for where the questions were, in the opinion of the examiners, thought to be unequal, due allowance was made in the marking. In contrast to the Arithmetic, there were here few of the common blunders, and it is evident that the careful teaching has been appreciated. Without wishing to detract from the conspicuous merit of much of the work in this subject, we think that one of the causes of success is due to the fact that an accurate knowledge of English is not so essential here as in such subjects as Grammar, History, and Composition.\n\nEuclid. The Euclid offered by Classes I., II. and III. is very disappointing. Any boy could have passed by doing accurate work on the First Book only; and yet but 44 boys passed out of 160 examined. Only six boys out of 45 in Class I. could write the sixth proposition correctly. With the exception of Class I. A, the whole work is very weak. There is little grasp of the subject at all, and much evidence of attempted learning by heart: such attempts when they led, as they often did, to nonsense, were, as they deserved to be, severely marked; hence the low percentage of passes. Over and over again boys wrote, or attempted to write, a proposition which they were not asked to write; and very few could apply I. 4 and 8 properly. If boys cannot do better than they have done, we think it undesirable that any time whatever should be spent on this subject, except in a few special cases. But if it is taught, care must be taken to discourage in every way possible the rote-learning which destroys all the value and the beauty of geometry. Boys should not be pushed on, even to the middle of Book I., till they have mastered the early propositions. Much more use ought to be made of the application of such propositions as 4 and 8 to the simplest kind of problems, of which a master should be able to supply a large store. In writing out a proposition scarcely any boys paid any attention to punctuation—this may seem a small point but it is very essential if boys are to make any use of the arguments of Euclid. The method, too, of writing continuously in one paragraph is bad, but care should be taken, if the method of writing each sentence on a separate line be adopted, that each line is not necessarily begun with a capital letter. It was impossible to tell, in some cases, whether the argument was right or not in the mind of the boy; it was certainly not correct on paper. All the old confusion in the use of \"but\" and \"and,\" \"therefore,\" and in the data and quærenda in the particular enunciations appeared again and again. There was a general lack in neatness in writing and arrangement, and sometimes the figures were lettered differently from the arguments which referred to them. Euclid being such excellent and simple English Prose, it seems desirable that it should be taught, but at present the time spent upon it is, in the majority of cases, wasted.\n\nEnglish to Chinese. A number of boys showed both knowledge of English and ability to write Chinese. In the middle and lower classes there was a good percentage of passes. The difficulty Chinese boys have in understanding the meaning of English words was, however, manifest in all classes. The following may serve as illustrations: In Class I. 15 boys out of 26 mistook the word \"what\" used relatively for the same word used interrogatively. In Class II.B. 13 boys out of 28 mis-translated the word \"highroad,\" making it mean a road at a lofty elevation. In the lower and middle classes much work was spoiled by boys, who could read English, being unable to write Chinese. Characters having a sound and tone like the Chinese equivalents of English words in the passages set, but with totally different meanings, were used, often in such a way as to destroy all the sense of the passage. Thus in VIII.A. 17 out of 39 boys wrote in Chinese words meaning \"close\" or \"quiet\" instead of the word \"bees.\" In IV.A. 9 boys out of 39 wrote the word for \"yellow\" instead of another word of the same sound and tone meaning \"locusts.\" In IV.B. boys were required to translate the phrase \"straight as an arrow\"; 4 wrote \"straight as fighting,\" 4 \"straight as scissors,\" and typical instances. In the paper of IIIB. the word \"creased\" occurred, and no boy attempted to translate \"straight as virtue.\" These are illustrative instances. The practice of many boys is to use reading books in which above the English words Chinese equivalents have been written. It is, we think, a practice to be condemned; but if it is continued, the Master should see that the characters written in the books are such as really translate the English.\n\nArithmetic. ... able to do simple questions in vulgar fractions, decimals, and reduction, where these come within the range of a Class's reading, but in Classes 1. to V., except those mentioned above, there was a conspicuous failure in the work in these elementary rules. A few boys did very well indeed, showing that the subject has been successfully taught to them, but we expected to see greater average proficiency shown by a whole class. The papers were carefully set on the pages offered. Every question was correctly answered by one boy or another, but many papers were disappointing. The methods employed do not always seem to be the best. One noticed the old stumbling blocks—the place of the decimal point in division, the order of operation of various signs in compound fractions, cancelling in l.c.m., and the order of terms in proportion—causing boys to offend, as well as very long methods where shorter ones are available. The unitary method in proportion might be advantageously employed. Here and there a boy successfully grappled with a comparatively difficult problem, but on the whole the work was poor. The lower Classes, VI., VII., and VIII., with few exceptions, did satisfactorily.",

A strong pull at the rope by the sailor fastened the hook deep in the shark's body. At once the creature struggled desperately to get free. But the rope was strong and the men held fast and pulled with a will. The shark was caught at last and killed. Then once more the ship spread her sail to the breeze and bounded on her course.\n\nThis method of catching the shark is often practised on board ships sailing across the sea.\n\n## Class VI. A.\n\nThe farmer's wife was always telling him that he ought to get the latch mended; but he used to say that it would cost six-pence, and that it was not worth while. He said that the children might well be driving the sheep and poultry in and out of the yard and the field as they were doing nothing. So the gate remained without the latch. One day a fat pig got out of its sty, and, pushing open the gate, ran into the field, and then wandered to a thick wood. The pig was soon missed.\n\n## Class VI. B.\n\nThe fly has no jaws or teeth with which to chew its food, but it has something which does quite well. Its lips are made into a fine tube, and it sucks up its food, just as we have often sucked up water through a straw.\n\n## Class VIII. A.\n\nIt is good for you and for me to rise with the sun, and the birds, and the bees. The bees are at work near the hive. They have been up a long time. Make haste, that we may go and watch. Let us kneel down, and thank God that He has kept you all through the night. Ask to bless and keep you safe all day long.\n\n## Class VIII. B.C.\n\nThis is the tree where the bird has its nest. Let us look in it now. Here it is. Lo, see three young ones in it - one, two, three. How soft and warm they are! We may look at them, but we must not take them out.\n\n## SHAKSPEARE. HENRY V.

C.\n\nA poor woman, in one of the cities of India, had a stall in the market-place, where she sold fruit. An elephant used to go by, and always stopped to look at her stall. She knew how fond the elephant was of fruit; and she used, now and then, to give him some.\n\n## Class VII. A.\n\nOne day the window was open, and the bird flew out. Its master thought it was lost; but it soon came back. After that, it was allowed to fly in and out as it pleased. It always took care to be in at meal times, when there were crumbs for it to pick up.\n\n## Class VII. B.\n\nAmong the bushes and high grass near the water the swan builds its nest. It is made of sticks or rushes and is placed on the ground. Here the swan lays its eggs. As soon as the young ones are hatched, away the little creatures run to the water! They need no schooling and teaching, for God has made them so that they can swim at once.\n\n## GENERAL INFORMATION.\n\n1. What is Constitutional History?\n2.

        "content_text": "85\n\nand this we reached at 10.15 a.m.\n\n(2)\n\nHere we were obliged to anchor and have one of the house-boats caulked and tinkered up as she had been leaking badly during the night. At noon we essayed to make a start, but some rapids, at the junction of the Kum Chuck Creek with the West River, proved too much for us, and our launch towing two heavy house-boats could make no headway against them, and so we had to put back and wait for a higher tide. These rapids will prove a very serious obstruction to steamers choosing the Hamilton Creek route, in fact, I should think almost an insurmountable one, and for that reason the Futshan Creek route will probably be the one preferred. At 3.25 p.m. we made another start, the tide being nearly full flood, and this time were successful in getting over the rapids. At last we were on the West River, and a noble river it certainly looked, fully 800-900 yards broad, and a long straight reach before us showed this breadth to be uniformly kept as far as the eye could see.\n\nStill the country on either side was flat and monotonous, but there were hills and mountains in every direction in the far distance.\n\nIt was in the afternoon that I noticed the river traffic seemed somewhat to have diminished. Here the West River joins the North River, at 7.35 p.m., when we passed Sam Shui junction. I am told it is a very fine broad river with possibilities of trade nearly as great if not equal to those of the West River. Your Excellency will be glad to know that that pioneer of commerce, Mr. John Andrew, is at present exploiting this river with a view of ascertaining what the prospects may be as regards future trade. The town of Sam Shui itself, from what one could see, seemed a large and important one, in fact, quite the largest and most important from all outward appearances of any of those that we had hitherto come across in our journey.\n\nX'mas morning broke muggy and warm with cloudy overcast sky, but it was fine. On either side were well-wooded hills reaching right down to the river's edge, wonderfully pretty and much resembling some of the prettiest portions of Japan. I did not notice that the river had narrowed much, in fact, it was quite remarkable how uniform it kept its width. I did notice, though, as we went along, how the volume of trade seemed to diminish. I was disappointed not to see more of it. I had been led to expect brisk river traffic right up as far as Wu-Chau-fo, but certainly the epithet \"brisk\" could not be applied to all that I saw.\n\nIn order to have a short walk on shore, we landed after breakfast at a Likin Station called Sa Ching, and there interrogated the Chinaman in charge as to the chief articles of commerce on which he levied duties: he replied \"Firewood, medicine and a certain kind of grain.\" \"Is business good?\" He replied, \"No, it is not.\" This confirmed what was apparent. Certainly we had noticed many junks loaded with firewood passing us, but if firewood is the chief staple industry, there is not much to be made out of that. I do not lose sight of the fact that possibly we may have chosen an unfortunate time of the year to ascend the river, when the trade was lax. Mr. Fraser, the Acting Consul at Canton, informs me that there is a large trade done in piece goods. All I can say is I did not see much sign of it, neither did my companions.\n\nThe Chinese are noted as farmers and tillers of the soil and in the short time that we landed and walked into the country, I observed that every available inch of land was cultivated: the peasants busy at work in the fields, and all seemingly happy and contented and prosperous looking. Everywhere they were exceedingly civil to us, and we exchanged mutual greetings of goodwill whenever and wherever we met them. I can confidently say that farm land in China if put up for sale would not fetch the starvation prices that are now being offered for similar land in England.\n\nAt 9.30 a.m., we embarked again and proceeded on our voyage, but there was nothing worthy of interest to relate. The scenery certainly was fine, and it was pleasant to sit on the deck of the launch and watch the ever-varying aspect of the country, with low-lying well-wooded hills, with dales and vales, descending right to the water's edge, and hills behind these, and yet again hills, and mountains topping these, fading away into the far distance.\n\n(3)\n\nAt 1.30 p.m. we sighted Wu-Chau-fu, and at 2 p.m. we arrived opposite the town and anchored. It had taken us exactly 27 hours, exclusive of stoppages, to steam from Canton: averaging about 6.5 miles an hour. We considered this fair going, especially as for the last 100 miles or so, the tide had been against us, with, the pilot reckoned, a 2-knot current running.\n\nFrom the deck of the launch looking at the town, we were certainly disappointed with the size of it. It is situated on only one side of the river—the left bank. There were a great number of junks moored along the shore, and up a creek which skirted the town on one side, but none of them of any great size. Two of them we noticed carrying Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co.'s flag and evidently laden with Kerosene oil. We learnt afterwards that Jardines had an Englishman called Watts resident at Wu-Chau-fu, who superintended the sale of the oil and any other merchandise they sent up.\n\nJardine, Matheson & Co. were the only European firm represented in the town.\n\nWe went ashore at 2.15 p.m. to visit and inspect the town. As on our way up we saw telegraph posts all along the river's edge, we concluded the Imperial Chinese Telegraph had an office in the town. We made straight for this on landing, a friendly native guiding us, in order that we might send telegrams, one to Your Excellency from Mr. Whitehead and myself, the other to Sir Robert Hart from Messrs. Bredon, Beauclerk, and Whitehead.\n\nOn arriving at the office, after having passed through a most frightful succession of offensive smells in the streets nearly necessitating Mr. Beauclerk's return to the boat, we were astonished to be greeted in the most fluent English by the Chinese clerk. On enquiry, he told us he had been educated at Queen's College, Hongkong, and I must say he did infinite credit to the teaching staff of that college. He was most intelligent. His fellow clerk had also been trained at the same college and spoke English equally well.\n\nOn leaving the telegraph office we walked along the city wall to get some idea of the size of the town. It did not strike us as very extensive, and we computed the population to be about 30,000. We then descended into the streets; they were narrow, dirty and exceedingly odoriferous. However, in these respects they were not dissimilar from those in other Chinese towns. The shops, selling the usual heterogeneous mass of Chinese commodities, were small and I did not notice any big hongs: however, doubtless these will follow as the place is opened up.\n\nFrom the streets we wandered to the foreshore to see if we could discover the site that Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co. had bought in anticipation of the opening of the port. We found it after a time, just outside the town, and most conveniently situated, directly on the river's edge with a clear water frontage. I am told that they bought this piece of land for a comparatively trifling sum, their astuteness in being so early in the field should bring them ample reward, as there is not the slightest doubt that the value of land will increase very much as soon as the place is opened to foreign trade. I did not notice any other site so \"eligible\" as this one. We tried to discover the site which Messrs. Butterfield and Swire had bought, but failed to do so.\n\nIt now being late in the afternoon, we retraced our way to the boat. All this time we had been followed by an ever-increasing crowd of natives, mostly children, who were very annoying, as they pressed round us and would not keep a respectful distance. Occasionally the children raised the cry of \"fan quai\"—foreign devil—and once if not twice, a few stones and mud were thrown, but this was quickly suppressed by the more...",

        "content_text": "468\n\nI\n\n(4)\n\nMr. COOPER asked Mr. DANBY if he had considered the construction of a road from Taitam Tuk to Taitam Gap along the slopes of the hills to the south of the present road, as it appeared to him such a route was the more favourable one. Mr. DANBY replied that he had not.\n\nMr. DANBY did not consider that the construction of the road proposed by Mr. STEWART would open out any sites for the erection of buildings for manufacturing purposes.\n\nMr. LEIGH also attended the Meeting of the Committee on the 12th instant, and stated that he considered the road from Kennedy Town to Deep Water Bay at a level of from 20 to 25 feet above sea level would be protected from the action of the sea during typhoons.\n\nMr. LEIGH estimated the cost of the portion of the road from Kennedy Town to the Waterfall at $20,000 a mile, pointing out that some difficulty would be experienced owing to the steepness of the slopes below the Sanitarium at Pokfulam. The remainder of the road to Deep Water Bay and on to Stanley he estimated at about $15,000 a mile. He had not specially considered the further extension of it, but roughly estimated the total cost from Kennedy Town to Shaukiwan at $220,000.\n\nMr. LEIGH did not think that building sites would be opened out by the construction of such a road and pointed out how, in the absence of shade, the first section of the road would be exposed to the rays of the setting sun.\n\nCollege of Medicine for Chinese.\n\nDr. THOMSON was questioned by the Committee with regard to this scheme and the opinions of Dr. JORDAN and Dr. ATKINSON were also ascertained.\n\nDr. THOMSON explained that the object of the College was to train students in Western Medical Science so as to fit them for helping to improve the sanitary conditions of the Chinese in Hongkong and also to spread a knowledge of Western Medicine in China. He stated that all the students who had been trained in the College had left the Colony as greater inducements had been offered to them to go elsewhere, but that there are at the present time engaged in study at various stages of the curriculum 14 students. In reply to questions asked by the Committee, he and Drs. ATKINSON and JORDAN further stated that want of a knowledge of English on the part of the students had been found to be a difficulty, but Dr. THOMSON was of opinion that there was now an improvement in the preliminary training of students.\n\nDr. JORDAN declared himself to be in favour of the training of Chinese in Western Medical Science as they would be especially useful in connection with the registration work of the Registrar General's Office.\n\nDr. ATKINSON stated that he was of opinion that the best plan would be to train a few students here for two years and then send them to England to complete their education. He pointed out that even Chinese partially trained in Western Medicine would be useful in the case of an outbreak of an epidemic.\n\nThe cost of placing the College of Medicine on a sound basis is estimated as follows: -\n\nCost of site and building $40,000 to $50,000. Annual Expenditure $5,000 to $6,000.\n\n(5)\n\nDrs. THOMSON, JORDAN, and ATKINSON were all of opinion that students had not sufficient opportunity of qualifying for the general practice of Medicine and Surgery in the Colony and that the certificate granted could not be placed on the same footing as those granted by similar institutions in England.\n\nDr. THOMSON stated that, if the College of Medicine were self-supporting, he was of opinion that the majority of students would have to seek employment elsewhere than in the Colony.\n\nDr. THOMSON further stated that, in order that the students should have the best opportunities the Colony could offer for teaching them locally, it seemed desirable that the College of Medicine should be attached to the Government Civil Hospital, but he thought to effect that a change in the present constitution of the College would be needed.\n\nHospital for Women and Children.\n\nThe following gentlemen were asked to express their views with regard to the scheme proposed by Mr. MAY, viz. Mr. MAY himself, Drs. JORDAN and ATKINSON; and also Mrs. BELL-IRVING.\n\nThey are of opinion that a hospital for women and children is much needed in this Colony; that, if one is to be built, the construction of this Hospital would render available for the treatment of Asiatic males the accommodation now reserved for women and children in the Civil Hospital; it should not contain fewer than 44 beds, as recommended by Mr. MAY in his letter to the Committee of the 29th March last, and that it should be connected with the Civil Hospital and should be under the control of the Colonial Surgeon.\n\nFrom the opinions obtained by the Sub-Committee, it appears that the accommodation at the Civil Hospital is at present insufficient for the requirements of the Colony as regards women and children. For them, there is at present only one general ward with accommodation for 14 patients and 2 private wards; into the former are admitted women of every nationality and children. The undesirability of children being treated in a general ward with adults was pointed out, and it was stated that this fact was found to prevent parents and guardians availing themselves of Hospital treatment for children.\n\nThe Sub-Committee were also furnished with the following figures showing the increase in the number of females admitted into the Civil Hospital: -\n\n1894, ... ... 254.\n\n1895, ... ... 326.\n\n1896, ... ... 397.\n\nAs to the site of the proposed Hospital for Women and Children, two sites were mentioned - one above the Bonham Road; the other in the immediate neighbourhood of the Sisters' Quarters at the Civil Hospital.\n\nThe medical gentlemen questioned were in favour of the latter site on the ground of convenience of administration and also because they regard the Bonham Road site as malarious.\n\nAll those questioned were in favour of the proposed hospital being under the control of the Government in order to guarantee that it would be permanently maintained.",

The question is, shall we give up men who have been only a month or two in the colony, to be tortured? Is such a proceeding right? You would not hud any Consul in China who would give security that the men should not 'og' tortured. I have spoken to many of the Consula about the matter.

        "content_text": "\"neither the Government nor its officers, either directly or indirectly, encourage prostitution: no act of theirs can justly be taken as encouraging vice.\" \n\nIf ordering a number of prostitutes for the use of the soldiers, providing them with free quarters, paying their cost of transit from place to place, voting them money from cantonment funds, paying a procuress to collect and organise them, is not encouraging vice, words have lost their meaning and we have before us an example of the extraordinary power of self-deception possessed by the human mind.\n\nIt may be said by some of you, \"After all, this was a long time ago.\" It is true these things happened in 1886, eleven years ago.\n\nBut it takes much more than eleven years to root out the results of so much wrong-doing. But if you want it I can bring before you evidence of what happened much more recently than in 1886. Between 1886 and 1893 two American lady missionaries, Mrs. Andrews and Dr. Kate Bushnell, reported what they had seen going on in ten stations in India, viz., the prostitutes' quarters provided at Government expense in close proximity to those of the soldiers; the paid procuress at their head; the expense of their transit defrayed from public funds, and so forth. These reports were published in several of the religious papers at home, and much indignation was expressed. Lord Roberts, who had just returned from India, where he had been Commander-in-Chief, was questioned by an interviewer as to the accuracy of statements made by the lady missionaries, and he said that they were \"simply untrue.\" A considerable amount of public excitement still continued to find expression, and the result was that in 1893 the Government appointed a small departmental committee to enquire into the truth of the allegations. The report of this committee entirely confirmed the accuracy of the statements that had been made. Lord Roberts himself acknowledged that they were \"in the main correct,\" and apologised to the ladies for his former assertion. It is quite true that the departmental committee was not unanimous. There was a minority report; but this minority report acknowledges the \"sincerity and intelligence\" of the lady missionaries, so that the accuracy of their evidence was in the end fully established.\n\nPage II\n\nThis brings us to 1893; and if you want more recent evidence still that the spirit we are warring with is not extinct in India, I would refer you to an article which appeared in the Allahabad Morning Post on August 26th, 1896, little more than a year ago, urging that a sort of philanthropical society should be formed for the purpose of starting disorderly houses in every cantonment, where vice could be practised without risk to health.\n\n\"If money were available,\" says the article, \"there would be little difficulty in getting responsible people to support and conduct well-managed establishments in every cantonment, and we cannot see how this would infringe any enactment on the subject. The fanatics, of course, would shriek; but are their shriekings at all worth considering?\"\n\nThe reason why I have brought all these things before you, is to make you realise the real character of the fight that has been going on for the last twenty-five years, and what we are now struggling against. I do not take any credit for the ground that has been gained. Others have borne the burden and heat of the day, and I have been for the most part only a spectator, though a deeply interested spectator, of the fight. But the real force at the back of this movement is the desire, openly expressed by many of our opponents, to re-enact the Contagious Diseases Acts both in England and India. That is the reason why, in the words of the resolution, we view with alarm the new rules which have been introduced, and I think every candid person must admit that the evidence I have laid before you of\n\nPage 139",

        "content_text": "$2 \n\nThe spirit in which the Indian Government has dealt with these matters justifies our alarm.\n\nThere is no need, however, to exaggerate the gravity of the existing situation, and I think we are justified in dwelling with a considerable degree of satisfaction on the paragraph of Lord George Hamilton's despatch to the Government of India (April, 1897), in which he gives definite instructions to that Government that:--\n\n1. Nothing is to be done which can be interpreted as an encouragement to vice.\n2. No provision of women for immoral purposes is to be made by any authority, civil or military.\n3. There is to be no registration of prostitutes, no granting of licences to practise prostitution, and no compulsory and periodical examination of women.\n4. Prostitutes are not to be allowed to reside in regimental bazaars, or accompany regiments on the line of march.\n\nAll these orders are extremely good, and if words and actions were always in exact correspondence, we ought to be completely satisfied. But unfortunately words and actions are not always in complete correspondence, especially when the words are spoken by a Member of Parliament in London, directly responsible to the English people, and the actions are carried out by officials in India far removed from the control of any public opinion except that of their own departments. I have already given you an example of how one high military official in India interprets the expression that no act of the Government or its officers can justly be taken as \"encouragement to vice.\"\n\nAnd there is another circumstance which must make us pause before we can rest with complete satisfaction on the assurances of Lord George Hamilton's despatch. It has all happened once before. The C. D. Acts in India were unanimously condemned by resolution of the House of Commons in 1888, and the Cantonment Act was passed in 1889. Sir James Stansfeld, then the leader on this question in the House of Commons, and Mr. Stuart took alarm at once, and pointed out that this Cantonment Act would render it possible to reintroduce many of the worst features of the C. D. Acts. Lord Cross, then Secretary of State for India, and Sir John Gorst, the Under Secretary, gave the most solemn assurances, no doubt quite honestly, that this would not be the case, and that the new Act would be worked in an entirely unobjectionable manner and in accordance with the resolution of the House of Commons. But we know as a matter of fact that the doubts of Sir James Stansfeld and Mr. Stuart were more than justified, and that the horrors to which I have already alluded in connection with the reports made by Mrs. Andrews and Dr. Bushnell, were carried on under the Cantonments Act.\n\nI urge then that we have ground for refusing to be entirely satisfied with words in this matter; that there is real ground for alarm, and that our alarm is increased by finding that the first Act of the Government of India on receipt of Lord George Hamilton's despatch, forbidding the objectionable practices which I have just recited, was to repeal the Act of 1895, which alone makes these objectionable practices illegal. This legal barrier to the re-imposition of the horrors of the system pursued up to 1893, has been repealed, and Lord George Hamilton has sanctioned the repeal, and we have now nothing between us and the evils which formerly existed, but the interpretation placed by the Government of India on the new rules and Lord George Hamilton's despatch.\n\nThe Act of 1895, now repealed, contains the following: \"Provided that no such rule shall contain any regulation enjoining or permitting any compulsory or periodical examination of any women by medical officers or others for the purpose of ascertaining whether she is or is not suffering from any venereal disease, or is or is not fit for prostitution, or any regulation for the licensing or special registration of prostitution or giving legal sanction to the practice of prostitution in any cantonment.\"\n\nPage 13 \nPage 140",

How long after your arrival in the colony?-Gambling ceased during the remainder of the month of October. Then it began again. To the best of my knowledge and belief it went on until I raided the place.\n\nI am speaking about Kwai Wa Lane-All I can say about Kwai Wa Lane is that after the end of November I received no more complaints about gambling in that lane.\n\nMr. Francis--I have one question, your Worship. Does Rule 73 apply to the Inspector whom you have put in charge of these different sections for the purpose of suppressing gambling? Have they a right to send a man into a house for the purpose of finding out if gambling is going on?-Yes. The rule does not apply to those Inspectors.\n\nEach Inspector has a complete right to take whatever steps he thinks necessary to suppress gambling in his district. That is so.\n\nHis Worship-Has that been the practice in the Police Force?-The prohibition against entering these gambling houses applies to constables only.\n\nThat has been the practice?-Yes.\n\nDefendant-That is how you construe the regulation. Will you kindly look at it from a common sense point of view.\n\nHis Worship here read the regulation.\n\nDefendant-That rule affects the whole Force, from the Captain Superintendent downwards.\n\nWitness-An Inspector of Police constantly sends an informer into a gambling house to obtain information; otherwise he would not get a conviction.\n\nIs there an order prohibiting Inspectors employing informers or sending constables into these gambling houses, and have there not been prosecutions in which Inspectors have entered these houses and people have been killed and the Inspectors charged with manslaughter at the Supreme Court?-I do not know of any such order prohibiting Inspectors employing informers. With regard to the last part-\n\nHis Worship-That is all.\n\nWitness-There is a second question.\n\nHis Worship-No, there is no second question. Sign the depositions, please.\n\nCheng On, who was brought up in the custody of Acting Chief Inspector Mackie, was the next witness. He said:\n\nI am Chinese, an Excise Officer in the employ of the Opium Farm. I have been in that employ thirteen months. Before that, I was a detective in the Hongkong Police Force. I am acquainted with all or nearly all the Inspectors, and as Excise Officer, I was frequently up at the Police Court. I know defendant, Inspector Witchell. He is known as \"No. 12\" amongst the Chinese. I have paid him money. Sometimes if he was not at home, I paid his wife. From the 14th of March to the 17th of June, I have paid him $12.60 every week, each Monday. I got that money from Tung Kum. I always got this money from Tung Kum, who is the keeper of the Yee Yuon mercer's shop, Hollywood Road.\n\nBefore the first payment was made by me to the defendant, on 11th March, he invited me to his room. I went with him and conversed with him in the Inspector's quarters. Mrs. Witchell was present; she was going in and out of the room. I was speaking half in Chinese and half in English. Defendant speaks Chinese. This conversation had reference to the money payments afterwards made.\n\nHe said, \"In going round on my duty, I saw a lot of people standing at the entrance to Chung Hing Lane and Wa Lane. Then I used my stick to drive them away. Then a Chinese abused me, and said 'No. 12 is proud.' Then I ran after a Chinaman. That Chinaman ran up to the first floor and called me to come upstairs, waving his hand. As I had no warrant, I dared not go upstairs. He wanted to disgrace me.\n\nI went away and a lot of people jeered at me. I do not know who taught the Chinese to treat me in this way. They think I cannot arrest them, but I can arrest them. If I arrest them, Mr. May will be very pleased with it. I have known these gambling houses for a long time. I know that some of my fokis received some money to spend, therefore I do not wish to arrest them. If I go to arrest them, it will spoil the business of my fokis, which is a very foolish act to do. I do not wish to do such an act; I do not know why the Chinese treat me in this way. In my section, I know a house was open for two days, and the people have petitioned to Mr. May.\"\n\nI asked him, \"Who told you all this thing you have told me?\" He said, \"An old man, Saug Yung, between fifty and sixty years of age.\" I told him not to have any conversation with that man now; he is not a proper man and he does not know how to speak.\n\nOn one occasion, there was gambling going on in Kwai Wa Lane, and defendant said, \"I do not know which took Mr. May up to a house in Jervois Street to look into the second floor of a house in Kwai Wa Lane where the gambling was going on. After looking at the place, Mr. May came back to the office and sent someone to call me. Then Mr. May said to me, 'There is gambling in your place.' I replied to Mr. May, 'Sometimes.' Mr. May answered, 'Gambling going on just now.' Then Mr. May said, 'Take out a paper at once to arrest.'\"\n\nHe told me all this news. Then defendant asked me if I knew the \"fat child.\" I said, \"Yes, I know him.\" He said, \"When I go round on my duty, this man follows me and wants to speak to me.\n\nAs there were a lot of people in the street, I did not wish to speak to him.\" Witness asked Inspector Witchell, \"How do you know him?\" \"I know him,\" he replied, \"because he is the master in Chang Hing Street.\" Then Inspector Witchell said, \"I do not know why the man wanted to speak to me. I think he wants to speak to me about gambling in Kwai Wa Lane.\" I said, \"If the man were to offer you anything, don't promise him.\" He said, \"Mr. May has great power, because he had arrested once before.\" I said, \"That place cannot be kept as a gambling house.\"\n\nMr. Francis-Tell me what he said about money.\n\nDefendant--Your Worship, will you direct the witness to tell the story in his own way?\n\nMr. Francis-I am entitled to examine the witness as I like.\n\nHis Worship-I think Mr. Francis's question must be put.\n\nWitness (continuing)-The defendant said, \"I receive not a cash from this place.\" Then defendant asked me, \"Do you know those gambling people?\" I said, \"I do.\" The defendant said, \"I have a lot of children and the expenses are large. My money is not sufficient. Will you kindly go and see those persons to get some expenses for me.\" I said, \"I am afraid that the people might refuse because they are not in your section.\" Defendant said, \"If they are in my section, I won't let them keep open. As they belong to another person's section, I am not afraid. As people are eating flesh, I want you to pick up some bone; I shall be obliged if you will ask these persons for me.\"\n\nI went and saw Tung Kum, and A. Yeun or Sam Yeun. I had a conversation with Inspector Witchell about Sam Yeun. In consequence of that conversation with the Inspector, I told all I had heard to Tung Kum, who told Sam Yeun. I was there when he told Sam Yeun. Sam Yeun replied, \"Very little.\" I said, \"How much.\" He said, \"$1 a day.\"\n\nThe Magistrate-Is this evidence, Mr. Francis?\n\nMr. Francis-Yes, your Worship, I think so. He is the authorised agent of the defendant.\n\nDefendant-I object to that remark; it is nothing but humbug from beginning to end.\n\nWitness (continuing)--I told defendant what sum had been mentioned. Defendant said, \"Maskee.\" I further told him people want 10 cents for labour; I was referring to Tung Kum. I was not referring to myself. Then defendant said, \"All right, I am satisfied, I will pay him ten cents labour.\" Then I said to Mr. Witchell, \"If a man is willing to give, are you willing to receive? It is not my affair.\" The Inspector said, \"I receive.\" In accordance with that arrangement, I received $12.60 a week.\n\n445",

        "content_text": "week from Tung Kum. I took the money every Monday and paid it sometimes to the defendant and sometimes to his wife if he was not there. The $12.60 was from two gambling houses—one at Chung Hing Street and Wa Lane—$1 from each house a day and ten cents off for labour. I would know Sham Yeon again if I saw him.\n\nSam Yeon, the master of the house in Wa Lane which was raided was here brought into court in custody and witness identified him.\n\nThis concluded the witness's examination and it was decided to take Mr. Brewin's evidence before the cross-examination was proceeded with.\n\nMr. A. W. Brewin, Acting Inspector of Government Schools, said—I have knowledge of Chinese, both of the spoken language and the character. No. 1 entry in the book is, \"No. 12, $1.10; handed to Cheng On.\" Entry No. 2 reads, \"No. 12, $1,\" then there are characters signifying, \"Handed to Cheng On.\" These are crossed out. Then there are the characters, \"Handed to Tang.\" I am not certain of the last character; it is abbreviated.\n\nCross-examined—The characters, \"Handed to Cheng On,\" have been crossed out; there is a round mark over them.\n\nRe-examined—I do not know whether the Chinese book-keepers or accountants make use of that mark over an entry in a day book to show that the account has been transferred to another book.\n\nDefendant—Your Worship, I see that the Chinese witness has been taken away.\n\nHis Worship—Who has taken him away? Defendant—Inspector Mackie.\n\nMr. Francis—The witness has no right to leave the court.\n\nDefendant—The prosecution have got him in their hands to do what they like with him.\n\nHis Worship—I will see that you have a fair trial.\n\nThe adjournment for luncheon was then taken. Defendant asked to be allowed out at liberty. He had been locked up since four o'clock the previous afternoon.\n\nMr. Francis intimated that there was no objection to the defendant being allowed bail. He could insist upon bail if he liked.\n\nHis Worship asked the defendant to get bail during the adjournment.\n\nThe Captain Superintendent of Police intimated that he would make arrangements for the defendant to be at liberty during the adjournment.\n\nAfter the adjournment the defendant cross-examined the witness Cheng On.\n\nDefendant—Are you at present an Excise Officer for the Opium Farmer?\n\nWitness—Yes.\n\nHave you been arrested under a banishment warrant?—I do not know.\n\nHave you been detained in the gaol?—Yes.\n\nSince you have been in gaol you have been brought before the Captain Superintendent?—Only once.\n\nWho was present at the time?—Mr. Deunys, the solicitor.\n\nNo one else?—No.\n\nIs that where you made the statement you made to the court this morning?—Yes.\n\nYou say you remember coming to my quarters on the 14th March last?—On the 11th March.\n\nWas that the first time you had been there?—That was not the first occasion.\n\nOn what date did you go there before?—I do not remember. I went there last year.\n\nWhat did you go there for last year?—I went to see you about a case in which Pang On made a false charge against three of my elusmen.\n\nWhat did you have to say about that?—You told me you knew it was a false case and you said you would speak straightforwardly.\n\nIn what month was that?—Between the 7th October and the 4th December.\n\nHad you been to my house, or did my wife and I meet you in the street a few days previous to the 11th?—I do not remember.\n\nDo you remember going to my quarters on the 9th?—I do not remember.\n\nYou seem to be very forgetful just now.\n\nDo you remember meeting me and my wife on the afternoon of the 9th at the corner of Wellington Street and Lyndhurst Terrace?—I did not meet you and your wife.\n\nWas anything said to you in the street on that occasion about getting some samples of silk?—It was not in March; it was in the 4th moon—May, when something was said about silk.\n\nDid you come to my house on the 11th March?—I did.\n\nWhom did you see?—You and your wife were there and the children were running about. Was anyone else there?—There was no one else.\n\nWhere did you sit down?—Near the fireplace in the room next to the dining room.\n\nWhich way did you come in?—By the back, up the steps.\n\nYou are quite sure you did not see anyone else there?—I did not see anyone else.\n\nDid you bring any pieces of silk on the 11th?—I did not.\n\nI mean samples, not pieces.—No; it was in May that I took some samples.\n\nYou did not show any samples to anyone on the 11th March?—You had not mentioned about buying things then.\n\nWhen did you go again after the 11th?—On the 13th March, between 2 and 3 p.m.\n\nWho asked you into the sitting room on the 11th?—You were in the sitting room and you asked me to come in.\n\nWas anyone else there besides myself?—Your wife came in afterwards.\n\nYou are sure I was in the sitting room when you came?—Yes.\n\nI was not upstairs?—No.\n\nI was not called downstairs?—No.\n\nBe quite sure. There was no one else in the room besides myself, my wife, the children, and the cook?—The children and the cook were not in the room.\n\nBut there was no one else there?—No.\n\nDid I say anything to you on the 9th March about a friend going home to England and that I wanted to send some silk with him?—No.\n\nDid I tell you the Clerk of the Gaol—Mr. Watson—was going home to England?—No.\n\nI did not say anything to you about Mr. Watson?—I don't remember that you did.\n\nYou did not meet me in Lyndhurst Terrace on the 9th March.\n\nAnd you never got any samples of silk at the end of November or the beginning of December last year for me?—No.\n\nDid I show you a photograph on the piano of a lady to whom I was going to send the silk—the photograph you dropped on the floor?—Yes, I remember that and also dropping it on the floor.\n\nWas that at the end of November or beginning of December?—It was this year and not last.\n\nDid you ask me if the lady was my mother?—No.\n\nDid I show you a photograph of a gentleman?—No.\n\nDid I tell you that gentleman was Mr. Falconer, Magistrate at Lorne, South Wales?—No.\n\nDid I tell you it was his lady?—No.\n\nDid you remark \"It's very handsome?\"—I said it was pretty good.\n\nOn the 11th, when you went in, who met you in the passage way?—I walked along the passage and when I got to the room you said, \"Come in.\"\n\nIt was rather familiar for you to come in like that?—I went to look for you.\n\nDid you ask where I was?—There was no one in the house when I went there and so I did not ask.\n\nWhat are you talking about?—I walked up to your room and saw you there.\n\nHow long do you say you stayed there on the 11th?—Three quarters of an hour.\n\nDidn't Mrs. Witchell tell you to sit down and she would call me?—She was upstairs; she came down afterwards.\n\nShe was not in the room?—No.\n\nYou said we were all there. Did you say to Mrs. Witchell on the 11th, when she said \"she would call me,\" \"Oh, never mind, I've brought that piece of silk for you to look see?\"—No.\n\nDid Mrs. Witchell say that was not the kind of silk she wanted?—No.\n\nYou went out at the back, didn't you?—Yes.\n\n446",

H. Stewart Lockhart (Colonial Secretary), who was sitting on the bench, and then said that another Magistrate would be appointed while this case was proceeding.\n\nIt was then agreed to resume the hearing at 9 o'clock this morning.\n\nMr. Francis - With regard to the defendant - His Worship - I think he is entitled to bail. Have you any remarks to make about the amount?\n\nMr. Francis - We leave it entirely in your Worship's hands.\n\nDefendant - I have a wife and family and household goods and there is not much fear that I shall run away. I have nowhere to run to.\n\nHis Worship - You will have no difficulty in finding bail?\n\nDefendant - I think I can find bail.\n\nHis Worship - Bail in one surety of $500.\n\nThe Court then adjourned until this morning.\n\nDaily Press 20th July 1897.\n\nTHE POLICE SCANDAL,\n\nINSPECTOR WITCHELL COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.\n\nAt the Magistracy yesterday, before Hon. H. E. Wodehouse, C.M.G., the hearing was resumed of the charges against Inspector Witchell. The charges are:-\n\n(1) That he, being an Inspector of Police in and for the colony of Hongkong, did, at Victoria, in the said colony, on the 7th March, 1897, and on divers dates thereafter, unlawfully and in breach of his duty as such Inspector as aforesaid, neglect to report to the Captain Superintendent of Police the existence of unlawful gambling houses in Wa Lane and Cheung Sha Wan Lane, Victoria, aforesaid.\n\n(2) That he, being an Inspector of Police in and for the colony of Hongkong, did at Victoria in the said colony, on the 11th March, 1897, and on divers days thereafter, unlawfully, wilfully, and corruptly accept divers sums of money from the keepers or managers of sundry unlawful gambling houses in Victoria aforesaid to refrain from reporting to the Captain Superintendent of Police the existence of such gambling houses and to protect the said gambling houses.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Attorney-General, being instructed by Mr. H. L. Dennys (Crown Solicitor). Mr. H. W. Looker appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of a party interested.\n\nWhen the case was called on defendant said - Your Worship, I am not a solicitor and I would ask your Worship to assist me in this case. There were a lot of leading questions asked and hearsay evidence produced on Saturday which should not have been allowed.\n\nHis Worship - Draw my attention to what you think is improper evidence.\n\nDefendant - Perhaps you are better acquainted than I with that evidence.\n\nHis Worship - I am not aware of any improper evidence so far. I will watch the case to the best of my power.\n\nDefendant - Thank you, your Worship.\n\nThe defendant then proceeded with his cross-examination of the witness Cheng On.\n\nDefendant - How long were you in the Police Force?\n\nWitness - Between 15 and 16 years.\n\nIn what branch of the Force were you? - When I joined the Force I was in the Water Police. In two years I was transferred to the Central Police Station, where I was for several months on charge room duty.\n\nWhat did you do after that? - After that I was attached to the detective department.\n\nWhy did you leave the detective department? - I was told to find a witness. I could not find him and I was reported to Inspector Matheson for sending the witness to Canton.\n\nYou were reported for that? - Yes. I did not see the witness.\n\nIn what case was that witness concerned? - In a case in which a constable was accused of snatching dice.\n\nAnd snatching anything else? - Fourteen cents.\n\nWas that all? - And a dice cloth.\n\nWhy did you leave the Force?\n\nHis Worship - One moment. Who is in charge of this case now?\n\nInspector Duncan - I am, your Worship.\n\nHis Worship - Are any of those people outside the door witnesses?\n\nInspector Duncan - No, your Worship.\n\nDefendant - There might be some witnesses there.\n\nHis Worship - I am told there are not; that is sufficient.\n\nDefendant (to Witness) - Why did you leave the Force?\n\nWitness - I was transferred to Yaumati and I resigned.\n\nDid you resign on a pension? - Yes.\n\nHave you a pension now? - No.\n\nWhy? - I took the whole lot at one time.\n\nHow much? - $174 or $176.\n\nFor 15 or 16 years' service? - Yes.\n\nWas that all you were entitled to? - I do not know. The Captain Superintendent makes up the amount.\n\nYou do not know whether you were entitled to more or not? - In the first class I was entitled to more.\n\nWhy was your pension reduced? - I was in the second class.\n\nWere you entitled to more in the second class? - I do not know.\n\nWere you reported before you resigned? - While at Yaumati I was fined 50 cents at roll call.\n\nWas that the reason why you sent in your resignation? - No. After 10 years' service I could resign when I liked.\n\nWhen did you resign? - In 1892.\n\nDid you have a character at your discharge? - Yes.\n\nCan you produce it? - It is at my house.\n\nWhat does that character say? - \"Fair.\"\n\nAnd you are quite sure you were not entitled to a bigger pension after 15 or 16 years' service? - One cannot calculate the pension at all. If a man is reported he is sure to get less pension.\n\nIf you had not been reported what would you have been entitled to? - I do not know.\n\nYou are not conversant with figures? - Yes. I know how to calculate.\n\nDefendant here intimated that this concluded his cross-examination and witness's evidence was then read over.\n\nHis Worship also read over part of the witness's evidence and asked him to verify the dates, which he did.\n\nIn reference to the statement that the witness's wife told him the Inspector had sent for him, defendant submitted that such a statement was not admissible.\n\nMr. Francis - The answer was given in answer to defendant's questions. He must take the consequence of that.\n\nThe witness was then re-examined.\n\nMr. Francis - Mr. Witchell has asked you about some silk samples?\n\nWitness - Yes.\n\nFrom what shop did you get those samples? - Chu Lun, Jorvois Street.\n\nDid you buy silk for Mrs. Witchell or did you only get samples? - She asked me to bring some samples and I brought some.\n\nAnswer the question. - I did not buy any silk for Mrs. Witchell, but I brought some samples for her.\n\nCan you fix on the day when she first spoke to you about any silk? - It was four or five days before Dr. Ayres went away - before he gave a tea party.\n\nHave you got samples for Mrs. Witchell on more than one occasion? - On two occasions.\n\nYou have told us the one occasion; when was the other? - On the following day or the day after.\n\nDid you get the two sets of samples from the same shop? - Yes.\n\nThis concluded the witness's evidence, and he was, on the application of the defendant, detained in court.\n\nSam Yeen, who said he had no other name, was then called. In answer to Mr. Francis he said - I am now a prisoner in Victoria Gaol. I was convicted the other day of keeping a gambling house in Wa Lane. The sentence was nine months' imprisonment and a fine of ...",

        "content_text": "You bad authority to put the names in the list P-Yos, because I looked after the accounts. When the raid was made were all the books seized or were some saved?-Nothing was saved; all the books and papers were taken possession of by the Police, but some other papers were burned before then.\n\nDoes that list show the total daily payments to Tung Kam?-Yes.\n\nIt does not show the names of the people to whom he was to distribute the money-\n\nthe names appear in the other book,\n\nNo,\n\nIs that the sort of account kept with Tung Kum?--And the others as well.\n\nWhat is the total daily payments?- $146.88. His Lordship-It is no wonder the business did not pay.\n\nThe Foreman of the jury-Does the $116.88 paid daily appear in the general account as one lump sum or as so much money paid away?\n\nWitness-The daily payments of these expenses do not appear in the ledger, but in this bundle of papers.\n\nHow did you strike a balance?---I struck a balance by making out the accounts from these papers.\n\nHow did the proprietors know the amount when it is not shown in the books? These bills have to be produced and shown to the masters.\n\nSo you have no proper books kept for the proprietors?\n\nMr. Francis, by permission of his Lordship, asked a few questions in regard to the keeping of the accounts and their Lordship said it would be better if the Court interpreter examined the books.\n\nMr. Robinson said the Crown were not entitled to farther time in this matter. They had had the documents in their possession since June, and he submitted in a case of this sort they ought to have had every document translated for the use of both parties and the Court. His Lordship said it appeared there was very little in the books relating to the defendant, and he thought it would not be desirable to put the Crown to the trouble and expense of translating those books. Of course Mr. Robinson could also have access to the books.\n\nMr. Robinson said his point was one of general procedure. The Crown ought to have referred to those documents before they came into court. Mr. Francis said the books could not have been put in as evidence for the Crown at all. Therefore the Crown had made no preparations, as they did not expect the books to be referred to.\n\nThe Attorney-General intimated that the case for the Crown was practically finished unless the jury wished to ask more questions on the books. They had also the silk mercer in reserve to give evidence if called upon.\n\nThe Court had now sat from 9 o'clock until 2.10 without an adjournment, and his Lordship said he had an engagement of a semi-public nature at four o'clock. If the jury wished he would resume the hearing about five o'clock if it was possible to finish the case that day.\n\nMr. Robinson said he might have several witnesses or he might have only one to call; that depended on circumstances and his judgment at the time.\n\nHis Lordship thereupon said the case could not be finished that afternoon and the Court adjourned until 10 a.m. to-morrow.\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nSUPREME COURT.\n\n3rd August.\n\nCRIMINAL SESSIONS.\n\nBEFORE SIR JOHN CARRINGTON (CHIEF JUSTICE).\n\nTHE CHARGE AGAINST INSPECTOR WITCHELL.\n\nVERDICT AND SENTENCE.\n\nThe trial of Job Witchell, Inspector of Police, charged with accepting bribes from gambling house keepers, was resumed.\n\nHon. W. M. Goodman (Attorney-General) and Mr. J. J. Francis, Q.C. (instructed by Mr. H. L. Dennys, Crown Solicitor), prosecuted and Mr. E. Robinson (instructed by Mr. G. C. U. Master) defended.\n\nThe following was the special jury ----Messrs. R. Marten, W. H. Potts, A. Findlay Smith, T. I. Rose, St. C. Michaelsen, E. W. Mitchell, and F. G. Collins.\n\nMr. Francis said that by his Lordship's direction, Mr. A. Seth, Deputy Registrar, with the assistance of the Court interpreter, had made an examination of the books with reference to which the jury had made an inquiry on the last day of the trial.\n\nHis Lordship said Mr. Seth had better be called as a witness.\n\nMr. A. Seth, Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court, was then called. He said that since the last hearing he had examined the books produced at that hearing and also eighteen slips. The eighteen slips each contained a day's receipts and expenditure. The receipts consisted of cash and pledges. The expenditure consisted of cash, \"peace\" money, and sundries. The accounts were balanced daily, so that each slip showed the daily balance to credit or debit. Those daily balances were carried to what might be called the ledger. At a certain period the total losses or profits were struck and carried into the year's account. The books showed that in the 11th and 5th moons the total profit was $34,681.08 and the total loss $39,336.61. Having examined the books witness was able to say that the items of commissions charged in the daily sheet were carried through the whole set of books.\n\nIn cross-examination by Mr. Robinson witness said there was no statement of the year mentioned. The name, Tung Kum, did not, as far as witness knew, appear in the documents, nor did the name of No. 12. The wages averaged $17 or $18 a day, sundries averaged $15, and there was a daily average in the fifth month of $150 for commission.\n\nIn answer to his Lordship witness said that the term \"commission\" would cover payments made in the way of hush-money. Each of the eighteen slips dealt with one day. The ledger dealt with the period from the 29th day of the eleventh moon to the 19th day of the fifth moon. From those slips a person could get an idea of what was going on in the business. The books did not appear to be fabricated or unreal.\n\nSam Yeon was then re-called to state that the slips were the daily account for the fifth Wan fat Lau business. They related to the fifth moon of this year. The item \"commission\" included hush-money. The gaming house was open from 6 a.m. until 12 p.m. Before he said the house was open from 6 p.m. until midnight.\n\nThis concluded the case for the Crown.\n\nMr. Robinson said he did not intend just then to address the jury at any length because he had witnesses to call. He would call Mrs. Burnett, who would prove that on the very day on which Cheng On said he had the conversation with Inspector Witchell in defendant's house Cheng On called at the house with samples of silk and he did not see the defendant that day because he was upstairs all the time. He only saw Mrs. Witchell (whom counsel could not call) and Mrs. Burnett in the dining room. Therefore Cheng On told a deliberate falsehood when he said he had a conversation with the defendant. The reason why silk was wanted was because defendant wished to send some home to a friend. The whole case rested on the evidence of Cheng On, who was utterly unworthy of belief. The evidence would show that Cheng On did not go to the house to talk about bribes, but to take samples of silk. Counsel then pointed out the relative positions of the two men, Witchell and Cheng On. Witchell was, as the jury had heard, one of the smartest and most zealous officers in the Police Force, while Cheng On was the chief excise officer, that is, the chief native officer over the native excise officers under the Opium Farmer. The defendant knew that by being on friendly terms with the chief excise\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364",

The defendant could procure through him \"tips\" which would be useful to a police officer. Another point was that the gambling houses presented a double aspect to the people connected with them. There was the capitalist who put his money into the concern, there were the police to find it out, and there were fokis who were the fokis were there for what purpose? there simply for love of gambling or to make money? They were there to make as much money as they could out of the capitalist who put his money into the illegal business. Their object was to line their own pockets. How was that done? Let the jury take Sam Yeen, who had during the past five years followed the occupation of a gambler. Bribes were paid to the police. After a time the bribes increased and increased until they came to $150 a day, or between $4,000 and $5,000 a month. Did the jury think that all that money was paid to the police, or did they think it found its way into the pockets of Sam Yeen, Tung Kum, and Cheng On? Possibly some of the native police were in the pay of the men. Was it not possible that something was done at the Magistracy, from which the warrants were issued? It was easy to see that the gamblers could easily get information from the Magistracy without the Europeans being able to do so. Counsel put it that the $150 a day was not all paid out to the police; it simply went into the pockets of Sam Yeen, who gulled the partners and persuaded them that they paid the money to the police. Clever Sam Yeen and clever Tung Kum! When the capital was lost there would be a cessation of business and a new partnership would be worked up and a new syndicate would carry on the business. The jury had it that the gambling houses were a source of great profit. So they were. But \"for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the heathen Chines is peculiar.\" It was very clear how the money went. Men of the kidney of Sam Yeen, Tung Kum, and Cheng On encouraged the syndicate to put in their money, which they disposed of. The list represented the trick of the fokis who were cheating their employers. The partners had no check on their tokis, and the partners were absolutely in the hands of the fokis. The partners were the milch cows. From a common sense point of view the list was absolutely to be disregarded. Take the Government House entry. A lukong in the employ of Government House says, \"Pay me 30 cents; if you do not I am in a position to give information.\" The money is paid because the lukong is in a position to give information. Sam Yeen had said, \"Not a cent would I have paid Cheng On if he had come on his own account.\" That was certainly an economy of the truth, because Sam Yeen had perhaps forgotten that he had already admitted paying to Cheng On on his own account $3.50 every five days or 70 cents a day. Cheng On said to himself, \"I have got the entrée to the Inspector's house; I see him at the Magistracy; I make a point of going to him and speaking to him; I am a friend of the Inspector and these gambling people know I am a friend. I will tell them my friend the Inspector wants some money and they are bound to believe me, and I will put the money in my own pocket.” If they thought he was not an emissary of the Inspector he could say to them, \"All right, you can see me go into the Inspector's house.\" Cheng On had ingratiated himself with the Inspector and the Inspector allowed him in his house because he could obtain good information from Cheng On. Where was the proof that defendant was paid the money? If such evidence was to convict a respectable man counsel was of opinion that there was not a firm in the place but must be under suspicion. Counsel did not know if a man like Cheng On could touch the gentlemen of the jury in civil life, but in official life every policeman in Hongkong could not help feeling that his character was in the hands of the Chinese; that is, if evidence of Chinese was to be believed. And such Chinese, too! One was a convicted gambler and the others associates of professional gamblers.\n\nIn regard to Cheng On, he was in custody under a banishment warrant. His only escape from that banishment was by telling this story. He had been the chief excise officer and he knew that the officers of the Imperial Maritime Customs of China were all round the Chinese frontier to stop the smuggling of opium. By whom? Cheng On would not like to go over the Chinese border; he had every inducement not to go and he resolved to save himself at the expense of another. He had arranged this matter. Cheng On's only chance of escape was by accusing Witchell for his own protection. He was told to tell the truth. When that was said by a high executive officer to a man under banishment, and who knew the consequences of being banished, it amounted to telling him to give incriminating evidence. He could hardly help himself because he had given himself away to Sam Yeen in saying that he came on behalf of the defendant. If Cheng On had told the truth would his case have been considered by the Government? Who was to be the judge of the truth? Counsel then said that supposing by chance Mr. Francis, who had a great reputation amongst the Chinese, had a client who kept a gambling house and he wanted to get something good out of Mr. Francis. If that man went to the gambling house keeper and said, \"If you do not pay me something I will tell Mr. Francis and he will tell the Chief of Police and make it pretty hot for you.\" In that case the jury would have found in the book the entry- Francis, $1.\"\n\nMrs. Barnett was then called. She said she went to the defendant's house on the 11th March, when Cheng On took some samples of silk there. Mrs. Witchell saw him, but defendant did not. Cheng On remained in the house about ten minutes. Defendant was upstairs during all that time.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Francis-The samples of silk were left in the house by Cheng On.\n\nActing Chief Inspector Mackie was the next witness. He said-P. S. McIver and his wife went home on the 25th March last in the P. and O. steamer Kaisar-i-Hind. I know Watson, the clerk at the Goal.\n\nHis Lordship thought that this was going rather outside the case and Mr. Robinson asked no further questions.\n\nThis concluded the evidence for the defence. The Attorney-General then asked permission to call the silk mercer.\n\nHis Lordship thought it was not admissible to call that man as the silk might have been bought from somebody else in March.\n\nMr. Robinson finally addressed the jury and said that a few words would be sufficient to put the defendant's view of the case before the jury. He had already addressed them on the main points and there were only a few incidental points that he need refer to. Counsel referred to what he called the growth of the case since the hearing at the Magistracy and commented upon the discrepancies in the evidence of Sam Yeen and Cheng On and also upon the fact that the list, which was said to be three years old, was not in the least dirty or frayed, while the ink was in parts bright. \"The books of account were put in for the purpose—\n\nMr. Francis said that the defence called for the books; the prosecution did not put them in. Mr. Robinson submitted that as the counsel for the Crown in his opening statement referred to a complete set of books being found in the gambling house giving the accounts of the business it followed that they became evidence.\n\nHis Lordship said the prosecution could not have put in the books.\n\nMr. Robinson-Then how very reprehensible to refer to them.\n\nHis Lordship said Mr. Francis had merely given a description of the books.\n\nMr. Robinson-Essing made that statement and it having been published in the Press from the Magistracy downwards, it would have been like shirking, bilking, and being afraid of them if an attempt had been made to keep them out. I was not afraid of them.\n\nHis Lordship--If Mr. Francis had tendered these books as evidence against the defendant I should have refused to receive them and I should have directed the jury, in my summing up, to dismiss from their minds all they had heard or read of any entries.\n\n475",

        "content_text": "Mr. Robinson-Conventionally, my Lord, that would have been perfectly satisfactory, but practically\n\nHis Lordship-Then you do not give the jury any sense for getting rid of a thing they have heard.\n\nMr. Robinson-I can only speak from my own experience; it is very hard to get rid of what one has heard.\n\nContinuing his speech, counsel said the fokis had to say, \"We must corrupt the police,\" in order to get the hush-money from their employers. The employers were helpless and they said, \"All right, we will pay the police.\" The story was merely a stalking horse behind which the fokis, the servants, under the pretence of bribing the police, put most of the money into their own pockets. In regard to Cheng On's story of his interview with defendant, the jury had heard the statement of Mrs. Burnett. The jury had seen Cheng On and had noticed his demeanour; they knew that Inspector Witchell had faithfully and zealously served in the Police Force for fifteen years, and they had the statement of Mrs. Burnett, who was an honest English woman, that she knew Cheng On, that she saw him on the 11th March, that he did not see the defendant. The jury had to judge between that man, Cheng On, and that woman.\n\nMr. Francis then addressed the jury and said that while a good character was valuable to a man and he was entitled to the benefit in a doubtful case, no matter how good his character might be or how long continued he may have borne that character, if the witnesses satisfied the jury beyond reasonable doubt that he was guilty of the offence with which he stood charged, that good character could not be taken into consideration. If there was a doubt in any case, a defendant was entitled doubly to the benefit of the doubt if he was a man of good character. The jury would weigh the evidence very carefully and say whether the defendant had accepted hush-money not to report the existence of the gambling house. It was clear that there were three or four gambling houses carrying on an extensive business in the colony quite unchecked by what was considered one of the best police forces in the East, and there must have been a considerable amount of corruption in the Police Force before that state of things could have existed. Counsel submitted that whether the books were ill-kept or not, there was no doubt they were perfectly bona fide. After their seizure by the Captain Superintendent of Police, what was his duty? He suspended officers, banished Chinese detectives, and instituted a general inquiry into the state of the Police Force. There was a special inquiry against Inspector Witchell. The three men were arrested and they were detained to give evidence, but there was absolutely no malice shown against the defendant. Counsel again referred to the fact that the Police Force must have been corrupted or these gambling houses could not have kept open from dawn till midnight.\n\nHis Lordship asked Mr. Francis to confine himself to the case of the defendant and to argue that he must have known of the existence of the houses.\n\nMr. Francis, continuing, said that if a single charge had been brought against a member of the Police Force, the jury would have required the strongest and most unmistakable proof as the thing would have been improbable. Here the jury had had it brought home to them that as regards any member of the Police Force, it was not, to put it mildly, impossible that he may have been cognizant of the existence of the houses, and it might be capable of proof that the defendant was one of the persons who received bribes to shut his eyes to the existence of the houses. Beyond that, counsel did not ask the jury to attach any importance whatever to the facts which had been proved. The defence set up was that Cheong On did not pay bribes to Inspector Witchell, but pocketed them himself. There was not a tittle of evidence to support that suggestion, and it was a pure effect of imagination, and a very poor one, too. Did the jury think that the men keeping the gambling houses did not ascertain whether they were being swindled? The fact that daily balances were struck showed that they looked after their own interests and ascertained where all the money went to. Counsel also referred to the letter which the Captain Superintendent of Police received from someone stating that gambling existed in Kwai Wa Lane and which he mentioned only to Inspector Witchell and Mrs. May, and to the evidence given by Cheng On that the defendant asked who wrote the letter to the Captain Superintendent. Cheng On could not possibly have given that evidence unless the defendant had asked the question. There was absolutely no reason why Cheng On's evidence should be disbelieved. As regards Mrs. Burnett, it was quite possible that her story was true with the exception of the date. Did they think that she could recognize Cheng On after having seen him only once? It was highly improbable. Cheng On had said he had never seen her, but it was possible that Cheng On had seen her but had forgotten her. No evidence had been given that any silk had been forwarded to any friend of the defendant.\n\nDefendant-My Lord, here is a letter showing the receipt of it in South Wales.\n\nHis Lordship asked the defendant not to interrupt.\n\nMr. Francis, continuing, said that if the jury had no reasonable doubt of Cheng On's evidence, he asked them in the interests of justice to find the defendant guilty.\n\nMr. Robinson said that from the point of view so becomingly and properly uttered by his learned friend, \"in the interests of justice,\" he asked whether there would be any objection to the letter mentioned by defendant being produced.\n\nHis Lordship thought that such a course would not be regular.\n\nMr. Robinson said of course he could not prove the letter else he would have done so, but he could produce the letter and the envelope, with the postmark.\n\nHis Lordship said the letter could not be admitted at that stage.\n\nHis Lordship commenced summing up at 5.20 and said that as a late hour had been reached and the jury had followed the evidence so carefully, he would be less particular in going into all the evidence that had been given. After explaining the law on the question and detailing various points in the information, his Lordship said the contest took place with reference to the receipt of money by the defendant. If they thought that the money was received under the circumstances referred to, there could be no doubt that the defendant was guilty. His Lordship could not help thinking that the length of the case had been greatly extended by the fact that the defence had taken upon themselves the burden of the police case generally, having an eye, so to speak, to the position of the members of the Police Force. He founded those observations on two reasons. In the first place, Mr. May underwent a very long and severe cross-examination; he was under cross-examination for practically a whole day. The other reason was the introduction of the books and papers. Both those points and the way with which the points were dealt made him think that the defendant had committed an error in judgment as they very much prolonged the case and made it more embarrassing to arrive at a right conclusion. His Lordship's own view in regard to the books was that if the books were ruled not to be corroborative evidence in any way against the defendant, then the result was that the defendant had set up a bogey in order to knock it down, and he had taken a great deal of time to do it, whereas if the jury arrived at the conclusion that the books did corroborate the story, the defence had undoubtedly admitted an enemy in the camp by asking for the books. If the books had not been produced, his Lordship would have asked the jury to dismiss from their minds anything they might have heard or read in the newspapers regarding the entries in the books, and he was quite certain the jury would have acted on those instructions. So also in regard to the general position of the police. There was no need to make out that Captain May had mismanaged the police in regard to the gambling.\n\nPage 476",

Mrs Witchell does not come very often to my house - she has a family and I have none. I have not seen very much of Mrs Witchell since defendant was suspended. I was impacted, I suppose. I can't say how often I have seen her. He was suspended on the 16th July. I saw Mrs Witchell on the Monday after he was suspended. I was asked on that Monday to come and give evidence. Mrs Witchell asked me. The baby is a year old last February. I can't remember the day he was bad. I can't remember the day I last called on Mrs Smith or Mrs Wingent. I looked over the new house before I went in. I can't tell you the day in which I did so. They were samples of silk that Ah Seng On produced. I don't know how many. They were left behind by Ah Seng On. I did not call on Mrs Witchell on the day after the 11th March. It may have been the next day. I am not positive.\n\nThe sofa is by a window. There are two windows in the room. They look on to the road going to the Police Station. I had been in a very few minutes when Ah Seng On came. I did not shut the door after I went in - it is always left open. I saw which way Ah Seng On went out. Mrs Witchell had had fever - she wasn't well. I had been to the house nearly every day before that day. On the Monday, Mrs Witchell told me that I should be wanted. I can't repeat the conversation between us. I remember the conversation when I asked her if that was the day that the Chinaman brought the silk for her to see. She said \"yes\", that was the day. I had a good idea, but I wanted to know if that was really the day. I had then read the report of the case in the papers. I had seen in the papers that the date was the 11th March. Yet I asked Mrs Witchell if that was the day the Chinaman brought the samples.",

        "content_text": "# ENCLOSURE\nExtract from the \"Daily Press\"\n\n## THE BELILIOS REFORMATORY\n### FOUNDATION STONE LAID BY H.E. THE GOVERNOR\n\nOn Saturday morning, 29th Jan., His Excellency the Governor, Sir William Robinson, G.C.M.G., laid the foundation stone of the new reformatory at Causeway Bay, the funds for the building of which have been provided by Hon. E. R. Belilios, C.M.G. The site seems to be a most suitable one, being on a spur of Morrison Hill and close to Kennedy's stables and the new cotton mill. The ceremony took place in a watshed, which was prettily decorated with flags. There was a large attendance, amongst those present being, in addition to His Excellency the Governor, Hon. E. R. Belilios, and a large number of ladies, Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart (Colonial Secretary), Hon. W. M. Goodman (Attorney-General), Hon. R. M. Rumsey, Hon. F. H. May, Hon. R. D. Ormsby, Hon. J. J. Bell-Irving, Hon. Ho Kai, Hon. Wei A. Yuk, Mr. W. Chatham, Dr. Bateson Wright, Captain Phillips, A.D.C., Mr. N. J. Ede, Mr. J. R. Mudie, Mr. M. N. Vandrawalla, etc.\n\nHon. E. R. Belilios said - Your Excellency, I esteem it a privilege as well as a pleasure to be here to-day to take part in what must necessarily be one of the farewell ceremonies of your long and successful administration. (Applause.) It has never, at least in my rather lengthened experience, fallen to the lot of any of your Excellency's predecessors to lay the foundation stone of a new and useful institution in the seventh year of a continued residence in the colony. That alone is an interesting fact; it gains, however, in interest by being coupled with the circumstance that this is the second educational institution of which you will have laid the foundation stone, -(applause)- the first of which you have seen for some years satisfactorily working. For my own part, I am glad to say that the suggestion made to me by my honourable friend the Colonial Secretary that I might assist in the work met my instant approbation. I always have been an earnest advocate of education. I believe most fully in its humanising and elevating effect, and I would like to see it placed within the reach of the poorest, a consummation I hope some day to witness. There are now, however, many children who still wallow in the mire of ignorance, and it is from them that the ranks of the criminals are mainly recruited. To restrain and deter from crime we are compelled to support a huge and costly gaol, where the social outlaw has to be taught that he cannot commit crime with impunity. Victoria Gaol is, however, hardly the place where a Chinese criminal can be reformed, and, unfortunately, the youthful offender against the law too often emerges from its cells more hardened than when he entered. He suffers contamination from association with older and more depraved criminals. This is almost unavoidable under the present system, it being impossible to segregate all the criminals, though the discipline is excellent so far as it can be carried out. Years ago a reformatory for boys was a necessity, but it did not then appear urgent. The good fathers of the Italian Mission supplied the want, as far as lay in their power, for many years, but the requirements have now grown beyond the means of the Mission institution at West Point, and the Government having agreed to provide a suitable site, I have been only too happy to supply the funds for the erection of the building. (Applause) I feel sure it will meet a want, and I sincerely trust it will be the means of saving many a lad from persevering on the downward and easy road. It is a duty we owe to civilization no less than to poor humanity, to show to the people of China that we provide for the reformation of the young as well as for the punishment of the adult law-breaker - that under the Union Jack mercy tempers justice. (Applause.) Your Excellency, with this trowel and mallet I beg you kindly to lay the stone of the proposed reformatory. (Applause.)\n\nMr. Belilios handed His Excellency a handsome silver trowel and a blackwood silver-mounted mallet with which to perform the ceremony. The mallet bears the crest of His Excellency, and the following inscription is engraved on the trowel - Presented to His Excellency Sir William Robinson, G.C.M.G., to lay the foundation stone of the Reformatory, a gift of the Hon. E. R. Belilios, C.M.G., to the colony. Hongkong, 29th January, 1898.\n\nThe stone bears the following inscription:- \"Foundation stone laid by H.E. Sir William Robinson, G.C.M.G., Governor, 29th January, 1898. Building presented to the colony by the Hon. E. R. Belilios, C.M.G.\"\n\nHis Excellency, after laying the stone, said - Ladies and gentlemen, I have much pleasure in pronouncing this stone to be well and truly laid. This is the last public act which I shall perform before leaving Hongkong, and it is a most pleasant one to me and a most interesting one to the colony. I did not expect Mr. Belilios would make such a long and eloquent speech as he has done in asking me to lay the foundation stone of what will hereafter be known as the Belilios Reformatory. (Applause.) As you know, the essential functions of these institutions are for the better training of juvenile offenders. They are institutions of comparatively recent growth and are the result of humane endeavour to rescue children from evil courses already embarked upon. To be effective, industrious habits must be engendered in these institutions, and a means must be given to the inmates of earning an honest livelihood. (Applause.) The mere fact of this site having been selected near the large cotton mill being built in the immediate neighbourhood seems to point to the introduction into this new reformatory when it is erected of some species of work connected with cotton spinning. But, ladies and gentlemen, you will doubtless want to know how it is that Mr. Belilios is mixed up with this affair. What he said was not exactly a correct statement; he is very shy and timid and refrains from giving himself laudation. (Applause.) We found the building at West Point was thoroughly unsuitable for a reformatory. We patched and heightened the walls and put the Right Rev. Bishop Piazzoli and the Italian Fathers in charge, but still we could make nothing of it, so we decided to build a reformatory. Mr. Belilios came to me and said \"Sir William, we must have a proper reformatory. I will give you $12,000 towards the building.\" Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have the Belilios scholarships, the Belilios medals, a Belilios school, which is the finest school in the colony, and soon we shall have a handsome Belilios Reformatory. (Applause.) Ladies and gentlemen, I consider the colony is deeply indebted to Mr. Belilios - a debt which can never be extinguished. (Applause.) The name of Belilios will be handed over in Hongkong to a grateful posterity. It will be my last public act on Monday to sign a despatch as Governor of this colony, to be sent to the Secretary of State requesting that he will bring this most generous and noble gift to the knowledge of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen. (Applause.) I ask you now to give three cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Belilios and family.\n\nAfter the cheering had ceased, Mr. Belilios said - Ladies and gentlemen, a hearty good cheer for His Excellency the Governor. We are sorry that he is leaving us, and we hope to meet him in the old country as hale and hearty as he is to-day.\n\nThree cheers and a \"tiger\" were heartily given and the proceedings concluded.\n\nPage 110\n9.07\nof the 31st January 1898.",

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nYesterday a meeting of the Hongkong Legislative Council was held in the Council Chamber at the Government Offices, there being present:\n\nHis EXCELLENCY the **ACTING GOVERNOR**, Major-General BLACK, C. B. (Officer Commanding the Troops).\n\nHon. T. SERCOMBE SMITH (Acting Colonial Secretary).\n\nHon. R. MURRAY RUMSEY (Harbour Master).\n\nHon. F. H. MAY, C.M.G. (Captain Superintendent of Police).\n\nHon. A. M. THOMSON (Acting Colonial Treasurer).\n\nHon. R. D. ORMSBY (Director of Public Works).\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER, C.M.G.\n\nHon. Dr. Ho Kai.\n\nHon. E. R. BELILIOS.\n\nHon. J. J. BELL-IRVING.\n\nHon. WE A. YUK.\n\nMr. J. G. T. BUCKLE (Clerk of Councils).\n\nThis being the Acting Governor's last appearance at the Council meeting, a number of ladies and gentlemen belonging to the outside public attended.\n\n## THE ACTING-GOVERNOR'S FAREWELL\n\nHis Excellency MAJOR GENERAL BLACK, before the commencement of the ordinary business, said: -- All business firms, whether large or small, take stock once a year, and call a momentary halt to see how they stand before girding up their loins for the work of the coming year. Governments, which are but large business firms working for the public weal, in the same way review each year their position, and not only put forward their balance sheet but indicate with modest satisfaction schemes which have run smoothly and well, and gloss over those which, however well laid, though they may have gone agley. I take, then, no unusual course in asking you to listen while I briefly touch upon some of the events which have made the ten months I have had the honour to hold the reins more eventful than many like periods of your past history.\n\nAlthough less severe than in 1894, the Plague has this year claimed 1,163 victims out of 1,320 stricken. Wisely abandoning the too stringent application of Western methods, the Government erected suitable hospital buildings at Kennedytown, placed them in charge of the Tungwa Hospital, and induced the Chinese to carry their sick to that benevolent institution. While deeply deploring the loss by this dread visitation, I am glad to congratulate the medical profession, and the other Government officials whose duty connected them with the suppression of the plague, for the strenuous and unselfish efforts with which they carried out their humane duties. Three of the sisters caught the infection at the post of duty, of whom two died, giving up their lives as nobly as men who die on the field amid the din and excitement of battle. (Applause.)\n\nThe outbreak of war between Spain and America --- two countries in friendly relations with England --- threw on this Government the onerous task of maintaining the laws of neutrality. A little island stored with good coal, and all the munitions of war in great abundance lying off a coast indented with harbours, is naturally a convenient spot where belligerents might replenish their stores of coal and food, and it is a source of satisfaction to this Government that, thanks to the energy and tact with which the officials carried out their duties, the laws of neutrality were strictly enforced, and yet the end of the war found us on as friendly terms with either belligerent as at the beginning. The changes that this war may bring may deeply affect this colony, but they still lie in the future and are not yet within our ken.\n\nA social incident not without its bearing on a great national movement was the arrival in Hongkong of a German Prince charged for the first time with high command in Eastern waters. The Prince of Prussia would have found a welcome for his own sake. Courteous, kind, and capable, yet every inch a Prince, he was welcomed by the whole community of Hongkong, and the English inhabitants did not forget in their welcome that he and his wife are grandchildren of our beloved Queen. (Applause.)\n\nHongkong has long felt the anomaly of its position, with the northern side of its magnificent harbour actually belonging to another power, its forts at the eastern entrance commanded at short rifle range by the Devil's Peak, and the end of its mine fields almost touching the Chinese soil, the Bay of Kowloon within the precincts of its harbour but outside its jurisdiction. In June last, a Convention was signed by which our boundary line is pushed some 13 miles to the north, thus sweeping away these anomalies, giving Hongkong room to expand, and more than all presenting the passing into other hands of the roads of Lantau, and the spacious harbour of Mirs Bay. (Applause.)\n\nMuch interest is naturally felt in Hongkong as to the position of the stations of the Maritime Customs. It seems to me only just and necessary that these should recede with the new boundary --- (Applause) --- for it would be an abdication of sovereignty if a foreign power were allowed to exercise control within British waters. At the same time, I recognise that it is right that we should aid the friendly Government of China in her task of protecting her revenue, made so difficult by the indented nature of the coast line, and to this end, I have suggested that opium should be stored in Government Godowns, and only issued on Government permit.\n\nIn legislation, much useful but unobtrusive work has been done. I may instance --- The Trade Marks Ordinance. The Liquor Licences Ordinance. The Bank Note Ordinance. The increased issue of Bank notes has, from causes well known to you all, been long demanded, and the enlarged circulation is proving a great boon.\n\nThe Queen's Recreation Ground Ordinance is the last in which I have taken a great interest, and I have some right to look upon it as a bantling of my own. The recurrence of the plague has forced on every thinking man the need of letting light and air into the blocks of Chinese houses, which, full of human beings in many cases, literally stand back to back in the City of Victoria, containing rooms into which the sun never enters, and where the fetid air has no motion. Doctors and physic, good though they be by themselves, are powerless to cure, while sun and air are a sure preventive; and great as the task may be of bringing these natural agents into this reeking mass of humanity, their admission must be secured by law. A bill is now before you which I admit does not go far enough, but it will at least be the beginning of a great reform.\n\nMany complaints have been made as to the shortcomings of the Post Office; a great deal of the confusion comes from retrenchment having been carried too far, and from the business having outgrown the building. I have submitted recommendations to the Secretary of State which will, I trust, produce great improvement in the department, in whose well-being every individual is concerned.\n\nNearly allied to the Queen's Recreation Ground is the reservation of the rocky bluff on which stands the boulders called Sung Wang Toi or the \"Watch Towers of the Sung\", which, as far as I can gather, is the only historical monument which links modern history with the old-world time. To make its reservation more certain, I applied to the Secretary of State for leave to bring in a bill to this end, and his permission is now on the sea. I regret that I will not have the pleasure of giving assent to it.\n\nA survey has been made of the Jubilee Road round the Island; it has been traced with gradients easy and offers, in the section between Aberdeen and Deep Water Bay, an important sanitary reform, for part of the scheme is to fill up and turf over the festering inlet to which the leading medical men of the colony point as the source of the malaria which has so long marred the health of Aberdeen and the neighbourhood of Magazine Gap.\n\nI have nothing but the good of the community at heart, and I emphatically state that if you believe medical testimony, it...",

        "content_text": "# MEMORANDUM ON INDIAN TRADE WITH WESTERN CHINA, AND ON THE RESOURCES, TRADE, AND TRADE ROUTES OF YUNNAN AND ADJACENT PROVINCES.\n\nIndia Office, October 1898.\n\n(Based on Various Authorities.)\n\n## Indian Trade with Western China\n\nThe general interest that has been aroused in the last few years in Chinese affairs seems to render the present time opportune for investigating the special problems that arise out of the contiguity of Burma and Yunnan. It is proposed in this memorandum to trace the course of Burma-China overland trade since 1890-91, and then to consider, with some fullness of detail, the existing resources of Western China, and the ways of penetrating the land-locked provinces which it comprises, viz., Yunnan, Kueichou, and Ssuchuan (Szechuan). The subject will be treated in two sections:\n\nI. Burma-China Overland Trade.\n\nII. Yunnan. Its Resources, Trade, and Trade Routes, including (1) area, physical features, and population; (2) agriculture, mining, and manufactures; (3) trade; (4) trade routes; (5) rivalry with France; (6) conclusions. Kueichou and Ssuchuan will be considered mainly in their relation to Yunnan.\n\nThe facts and figures with regard to Burma and China trade are derived from the monthly reports on Indian overland trade, from Mr. O'Conor's annual reviews of Indian trade, from the reports on trade between Burma and the adjoining countries, and from the administration reports on the Shan States. In the section on Yunnan an endeavour has been made to survey, with tolerable exhaustiveness, the more recent works on the subject. Some of the authorities quoted in the following list do not appear to be accessible except at the British Museum, while a few articles could be found only in the library of the Royal Geographical Society. These authorities necessarily vary in importance, while their discrepant statements about facts and their conflicting opinions often render it difficult to determine how much value should be attached to their testimony, but the qualifications of the writers have been weighed as far as possible.\n\n## Authorities Consulted\n\n* Letter on the Provinces of Chili, Shansi, Shensi and Sz'chwan; with notes on Yunnan and Kweichau.

On 81208, on which no act decision has yet been taken, a proposal was sent & when she is put to imperium in Imperic will not last long but mean while the Hongkong Govt must be put to that expense. Ought not the Imperial govt to help the Colony if it involves unremunerative expense through the extension of her boundaries, the terms for the extension of which I am informed have been arrived at.\n\nThe O.A.G has submitted a despatch circulating here with various proposals for reorganising the Police Force site. They propose to meet certain necessary increases of Salary by abolishing the Native post at Kowloon, one night patrol and the Police posts at Aberdeen & Shauchiwan, & also by reducing the number of Police Constables. If the Hongkong Police have to guard against smuggling in the newly leased waters, I should say that in the first place the economies proposed above (amounting to $5500-6000 per annum) could be effected & new fatives & in the second place a considerable increase of Staff is likely to be necessary.\n\nIf the acquisition of the new territory involves, as it apparently will involve, very heavy expenses, I do not see how the gov't is to meet them. The Estimates showed such an unsatisfactory state of financial condition this year that Mr Chaubertain had to insist on their being cut down. He pointed out that extra expenditure of $30,000 was probable and that more would probably soon be necessary.

        "content_text": "## THE FINAL ASSAULTS.\n\nAbout 2 p.m. the look-outs reported the departure of the Dordogne and Heungshun escorted by the Seaborg (which had returned with the French fleet) by the Shingshimoon Pass, round D'Aguilar and thence North, past the Ninepins, evidently bound to Mirs Bay. At 4 p.m. the three men-of-war assembled off Tytam Head, the Eclaireur escorting her prizes, the Verona and Sungkiung, the two latter being sent off to S.E. Bay, Lama Island. The Triomphante and Descartes proceeded slowly Westwards. The Eclaireur entered Tytam Bay, preceded by two torpedo boats, the first about three-quarters of a mile and the second about half-a-mile ahead of her. The Eclaireur stopped about three-quarters of a mile from the entrance to the Inner Harbour.\n\nIf they had contented themselves with watching the enemy from the redoubt on the hill, they would have done well, but unfortunately opening fire with their Nordenfelts on the hill, though they sank the other boat, they unmasked their battery. The Eclaireur at once rained a shower of shell on them, knocking the redoubt and the Nordenfelts to pieces, and killing half the men before they had time to run down the hill.\n\nAbout 2 p.m. the Hankow and Canton were seen to come out of the Capsuimoon pass, flying the British flag, and shape the usual course as if for Hongkong, and directly the loading boat rounded the point, going dead slow, she was blown to pieces by the fire of the Swift and Rattler. The Tommy Atkins, a military launch, was sent to where the wreckage floated and fortunately rescued both Captains Lloyd and Spencer Wilde, some dozen of the prizes' crews and a few Chinese were also picked up. The Hankow's passengers had been landed at Capsuimoon.\n\nCol. Yardhill was, however, so much impressed with the value of the redoubt on the hill that he sent De Horsey out another Nordonfelt in the evening, with orders to plant it just below the crest, on the West face, where it commanded the Shankiwan Road.\n\nThe Triomphante and Descartes, steaming slowly West, stopped between Round Island and Aplichau, and, firing at the new earthworks on the crests of the hills above Deep Water Bay, had their fire promptly returned by the 40-pounders in position, the same fatal mistake as was made at Tytam. Our guns were no match for those of the ironclad and cruiser. In half an hour four of our guns were dismounted, and the labour of the day—as far as the battery was concerned—wasted. Beyond knocking away some of the spars of the ironclad no material damage was done to her. The Descartes continued her attention to the guns at the Hacienda, dismounting both—but suffered somewhat herself from the plunging fire until the guns were silenced, part of her upper works and port bulwarks being knocked away, and damage was done to her quick-firers. Fernside, Genora, Kellett's Spur, and the houses on the East side of Mount Kellett were knocked into shapeless ruins.\n\nGeneral White ordered the guns above Deep Water Bay to be retired, otherwise every one would have been dismounted. The battery further East, commanding the Tytam Road, was sheltered from sea fire. Proceeding West outside Aplichau, the ships disabled three of the guns at Pokfolum Gap and demolished the stone wall across the road. One gun at Victoria Gap was dismounted, and the Tram station, which had escaped the Harbaroesk's fire, destroyed. It must be confessed that the ships made excellent practice, whilst great part of our fire was wasted. Our casualties amounted to six officers killed—of the Regulars two, both R.A. (Capt. Rawford and Lt. Hatthews), and four of the Home Guard—and 40 men, gunners and Home Guard. Wounded, 4 officers of the Home Guard, amongst them poor Cæsar Rawkins, and 27 men Regulars and Home Guard.\n\nIt had a very depressing effect on the Defenders; there was no element of personal strife, it was simply an Artillery duel in which we were hopelessly overmatched. Our losses were before our eyes, and the smell of blood in our nostrils. We could not see how, or if the enemy suffered, to cheer us up. That evening was pretty wretched; there were some attempts at jollity here and there; as you know the average Hongkong man of our day was cheery in the jaws of death—through which most of us passed in the next few hours—still we were so intermingled, the married men with the single, that for the most part the light-hearted were swamped by the heavy-hearted. Not that the latter fought one whit the worse next day—possibly better, though that could not be said either, where all did so well. It is impossible to deny, however, that the man whose hat covers his family can, and in some cases does, face inevitable death more cheerfully, than the man who leaves behind those that are dearer than life. The General, 'the soldiers, whose duty 'tis to die,' and some youngsters, got up a few songs; but on the whole the waiting was pretty wretched.\n\nThere was plenty of room in the Hospitals; already many of the cots and mattrasses had been vacated, and a temporary cemetery established in the West Borks parade ground, along the retaining wall of the Cathedral compound and below Beaconsfield House. As soon as it was dark we set to work repairing our earthworks, and taught by experience threw an embankment across the Pokfolum Road, in lieu of the stone wall destroyed, the splinters from which had been most destructive. Sungahs, or small redoubts, were thrown up on spurs, below the batteries on the hills.",

Every gully and nullah in the sand hills, where the Hacienda had stood, were sunk where the soil permitted. If we had had a week, we would have made the place impregnable, but though we had been in possession 50 years, like the foolish virgins we slept, till it was too late; still, even at the eleventh hour, we did our best to provide a fitting welcome. The French, now that all chance of surprise had passed, and taught by the rough experience of the Russians, were evidently going to play the game by rule.\n\n## \nand 100 of the Home Guard (English and Portuguese), choosing those whose snipe (and tiger) shooting excursions had often taken them over this very ground--he divided them into three mixed parties, under respectively Capt. Rerger, and Lieutenants Bowcroft and Banderson, with a Native and a House Guard officer each, and despatched them to heat up the French. Banderson was given 20 minutes' start of the others, leaving at 9.40-going to the N. W. with orders to go as far round the enemy's right as possible without alarming the outposts. Rerger and Bowcroft went off at 10-all the officers having compared their watches-Rerger for the French centre and Bowcroft for their left. At 11.15 p.m., having approached the camp as closely as possible, Rorger and Boweroft were to fire on them, and whilst the enemy were reassembling to repel the supposed attack on their left and front, Banderson was to attack their right. Hung Hom North and Kowloon West were to drop shell wherever the enemy burnt lights or fired rockets by.\n\nThe sight of Yaumati burning, the frequent explosions as the Docks were destroyed, and what they learned from the aliens in the Powan, demonstrated that the resistance to be still overcome was not likely to be feeble or wavering. The Lion's whelps were savagely at bay. No attempt was made at any time to force a pass into the Harbour-perhaps the naval force was too slender,-the fact remains the front door, fortified with such care, was never knocked at, whilst all the time the proverbial scullery window at the back was left open for the burglar to enter in assembling.\n\n## \nBefore 5p.m. the French, under General Renard, in Mirs Bay, had landed 2,000 men, and were joined by the 300 Russians guarding the line to Tolo Harbour, as well as the detachment from Capsuimoon. By six our scouts, after exchanging shots with the French skirmishers, scampered down the hills and back to our lines. A few shell were fired from Hung Hom North at the crest of the hill, but in the dark the fire was doubtless wasted and soon discontinued. The enemy were close down to the frontier, and bivouacked for the night by 9 p.m. amongst the sand hills north of our territory.\n\nTristful, however, had no mind that they should have a quiet night's rest to recover from their sea sickness. Selecting fifty of the Home Guard (English and Portuguese), he...\n\n## \n...desultory fire from the gullies been kept up, but no more rushes being made. He still had some 300 men, having commenced the action with 400 (Pathans and Home Guards). The enemy's loss, however, as could be seen, had been six or seven times as great. Half his field guns were blown to pieces and the rest had to be withdrawn to avoid a similar fate. Our people were in excellent spirits, they could see the fruits of their labour. On the island, on the other hand, the tide of battle seemed to be louder, rolling higher and nearer.\n\n## \nTowards daylight the enemy were reported on the move, and our pickets were driven in. By 5, when it was fairly light, the assault was delivered in real earnest, the storming party coming on with great gallantry to the attack of the hill, the key of Tristful's position. A very large number of guns were also brought into action by the French. The enemy suffered severely, especially from the fire of the Hung Hom guns, both large and small, again batteries, numbers of their guns being destroyed by the heavy 10\" shell.\n\nHad it not been for the broken nature of the ground they would not have had a field piece in action by 7 a.m. Time after time they swept up bravely, only to be mowed down and torn to pieces, by musketry, the quick-firers from Tristful's hill and the flanking fire from the forts. Red breeches climbing up the sea front whilst the men were busy firing N. W. on the storming party attacking Tristful, rushed the forts and exterminated the Garrison.\n\nTristful's position was untenable, with overwhelming odds in front; the Hung Hom forts along the open shore would have been suicidal insanity. The Hung Hom guns were raking his lines from East to West, smashing his quick-firers and killing his men. Rerger, his second in command, was already dead; the Subadar-Major (Firoz Khan), and four native officers had been killed; the hill had to be abandoned. Tristful retreated Westwards in squares. Once off the hill they were sheltered from the awful fire of the Hung Hom guns, and then began a duel over their heads.\n\nIn Kowloon West they had seen how things had gone--the evacuation of the hill and the cause of it--and at once turned their fire on the Eastern forts, who very readily returned it. Tristful had stationed 25 of the Home Guard in the Hung Hom forts and 25 at Kowloon West, to assist and cover the Gunners.\n\n## \nFor nearly three-quarters of an hour the assault on Tristful's position had slackened... \n\nPage 28 \nPage 29",

        "content_text": "## THE FINAL STRUGGLE.\n\nWay to Knutsford Terrace. Bowcroft place that they anticipated was in Tytam seized the Observatory and Banderson Harbour. The Heungshom, which had re- turned during the night from Mirs Bay, was loaded with men and run right on to the beach in Stanley. The Fatshan and the Honam were also respectively run into Chunghom and Tsimshui Wan bays; at the latter place the landing proved to be difficult, but as it was unopposed delay only ensued.\n\nAll the steamers were accompanied by torpedo boats. The life rafts and pontoons of the captured vessels were of the greatest assistance in rafting guns and ammunition ashore. The Pasig, escorted by six torpedo-boats and followed by the Eclaireur, entered Tytam Bay; the Eclaireur searching the crest of the hill with shell to see if the redoubt had been re-armed.\n\nIn the duel between the forts the Western had all been silenced, and only one 10\" gun in the Eastern could be fought when it was over. The torpedo depot was in ruins, the Admiralty coal depot, the Kowloon Godowns, and Tsim-Tea-Tsui Police Station were all one roaring mass of flames. Gigantic pillars of fire were soaring up from the petroleum tanks at Tai-kok-tsui, canopied by a dense pall of black smoke.\n\nChater's bungalow; there they fought with savage stubbornness from house to house in the Terrace, from room to room in the Bungalow and Observatory, till it seemed that assailants and assailed would be annihilated together. In hand-to-hand fighting the under-sized Crapauds were but a poor match for the long lean Pathans and beef-fed Britishers; moreover, the slight shelter our fellows had prevented the enemy overbearing them with weight of numbers and fire. About 10.30 the enemy drew off, when a few rounds from one of the Hung Hom forts crushed Bungalow, Observatory and Terrace into shapeless ruins as if they had been built of cards.\n\nDirectly the Pasig was round the point she was met by a storm of shell from the Swift; with her bows blown in, she sank within 50 feet of the stem of the Swift.\n\nThe few survivors of the British forces from the ruins attempted to make their way to Kowloon West; before, however, they could reach its shelter, the swarms of the enemy closed round and surged over the little scattered groups as they died fighting desperately, the victorious enemy rushing on to the ruined Western forts to be met by a feeble musketry fire from the remnants of the garrison. Directly, however, that the Jack was down, Rookshank from Stonecutter's East opened on them, literally blowing the enemy out of the fort--then, turning his attention to Hung Hom, soon silenced the sole surviving heavy gun there.\n\nFrom the island about 3 a.m. the enemy were observed to be moving out of S.E. bay. The only resistance at any landing was at Deep Water Bay...\n\nDe Horsey had fully expected that he would be torpedoed and made his preparations accordingly; one of his reasons for hauling his crafts into such shoal water, where they had scarcely a foot of water under their keels, he had further moored his vessels head and stern with anchors laid out broad on each bow and quarter, and hove his chains taut as bars. In addition he had lashed spars at intervals of about 30 feet perpendicularly to the side, through the ports, with their heels resting on the mud, so that the ships were practically on stilts.\n\nThe Swift had a great hole blown in her port quarter, but the blow having been a glancing one, the torpedo had not gone through her, or blown off the poop. The water rushing in the ship settled, tautening the lashings of the shores as she took the ground upright; still as a fighting machine or stationary battery she was uninjured. The Rattler, on the other hand, was cut in two and her after guns disabled.\n\nBy 7 a.m. the allies had 8000 men landed. The Demoures and Triomphante were vigorously engaging the batteries above Deep Water Bay, and searching the crest of the hills with time shell and shrapnel.\n\nTaught by experience the 'Hacienda' gun (only one had been replaced) did not reply and indicate her position till the Tai On entered the Aberdeen Passage, when it opened with such excellent effect that the vessel had to be beached on Aplichau sand, from whence the troops she conveyed had to be ferried across to Hongkong. Landing was also effected from two of the troopers in Telegraph Bay; here, however, the enemy suffered severely from the fire of light guns sent forward by Col. Rordon, who commanded at Pokfolum, Col. Yardhill commanded on the Tytam Road, where the heavy attack was expected. General White was in the centre.\n\nRordon was left severely alone till about 8 a.m., when the men-of-war appeared off Sandy Bay, battered his earthworks and dismounted his 40-pounders without suffering commensurate loss. By 9 the allies had every available man ashore,- 8,000 French regulars, 2,000 Russians, and nearly 1,000 seamen and marines from the ships of war and transports. Far from underrating the resistance, General Morbleu rated it high, and his estimate was amply justified. The main assault was on Yardhill's position, the enemy coming up the Tytam Road and along the crest of the eastern hills bounding the road.\n\nThe first discharge from the Swift had been the signal for the enemy some thousand strong to push along the Shaukiwan Road, when they were met by a fierce fire from the Nordenfelt in the redoubt below the crest of the hill and from the gun in the fore top of the Rattler. The remaining torpedo boats backing and turning, discharged their torpedoes again, struck the remains of the Rattler, bringing down her foremast, blew up the remainder of the wreck, and were themselves sunk by the Swift's fire. The Eclaireur had a number of troop boats in tow, but dared not let them proceed till the Swift's resistance had been overcome.\n\nThe two other boats both struck the Rattler abaft the funnel. One struck the Swift on the port quarter---a slanting blow---and was sunk herself; another also, as she shot past for the Rattler, was cut in two. The Rattler herself sank, and another running over the chain from the Swift's port quarter, lost her port propeller, and swinging round to port broadside on to the stern of the Swift was sunk by her fire.\n\nThe lashings of too many shores had however been cut, and the ship rolled over to port in deep water, swamping one of the cutters of the French as they boarded, killing and drowning both boarders and boarded.\n\nBy ... the allies had 8000 men landed...\n\nThe first discharge from the Swift had been the signal for the enemy...\n\nBy 9 the allies had every available man ashore.\n\nPage 30\nPage 31",

        "content_text": "# PRESENTATION TO MR. NORTON KYSHE\n\nTwo interesting presentations took place in the Registrar's room at the Supreme Court at noon yesterday. The Registrar, Mr. J. W. Norton Kyshe, leaves for England to-day in the Ceylon on leave, and it says much for the faithful manner in which he has discharged his duties and his unfailing urbanity towards all who have come in contact with him that not only was he the recipient of a token of the esteem in which he is held by the Court staff, but also of an exceedingly flattering testimonial from the Chinese community of Hongkong. The latter presented to him a splendidly prepared address bound in green velvet and mounted in silver, and the former an address in an oakwood frame. Each address made a complimentary reference to the valuable work which was but recently issued from Mr. Kyshe's pen - \"The history of the laws and courts of Hongkong\" - a work which has been received by a chorus of eulogiums throughout the colony, and a work which will serve as a lasting monument to the author. We feel sure all our readers will join with us in re-echoing the hope that Mr. and Mrs. Kyshe will have a pleasant voyage and will be all the better in health for their well-earned holiday.\n\nThe first address presented was that from the Chinese merchants.\n\nMr. CHAU TSENG FAT said - I have been asked by the Chinese merchants to call upon you and to present you with an address. During the few years you have been in this colony as Registrar of Supreme Court, Registrar of Companies, Official Administrator and Land Officer, you have rendered valuable assistance to the Chinese, especially to those who came in contact with you. We cannot allow you to leave us without expressing our gratitude to you, and also to wish you and Mrs. Kyshe a pleasant voyage, and we sincerely hope that you will soon be promoted to a higher position. On behalf of the Chinese merchants who are now before you, I beg to hand you the address, and trust you will be pleased to accept it. But before handing it over to you, I wish you will be good enough to allow one of your officers, Mr. Mok Man Cheung, to read the address.\n\nMr. MOK MAN CHEUNG read the address, which was in the following terms:\n\n\"Hongkong, 12th December, 1898.\n\n\"JAMES WILLIAM NORTON-KYSHE, Registrar of the Supreme Court, Official Administrator, Registrar of Companies, and Officer, &c., &c., Hongkong.\n\n\"We, the undersigned, take the liberty to acknowledge the valuable services which you have rendered to the public in this colony during the time you have been Registrar of the Supreme Court of Hongkong. We can testify that you have performed your various duties with fidelity and unremitting attention, and that the public here are loud in their praises of your ability and faithfulness to duty. We appreciate you not only for your fidelity and integrity in the discharge of your duties as a public officer, but also for your kindness and civility towards us whenever we have had occasion to approach you. We have noted with great pleasure that you have so ably compiled and published a very valuable work designed \"The History of the Laws and Courts of Hongkong.\" The work will certainly ever prove a monument of your industry and will moreover be of use, not only to ourselves, but to the rising generation of English-speaking Chinese. We also note with equal gratification that in all matters both public and private, you have ever been ready and cheerful in affording us the benefit of your advice. Your candour and frankness have ensured for you the good-will of all nationalities, especially the Chinese who have been thrown in contact with you, and all those who know you always feel happy to cultivate your friendship. Your unquestionable ability undoubtedly must have induced Her Majesty's Government to appoint you to the Registrarship of this colony from Singapore, where we have heard you were very much respected and esteemed.\n\n\"Now as you are about to proceed to England with your family, we cannot but express our regret at your departure.\n\n\"We beg to present you with this address as a testimony of the sincere good-will and respect entertained for you, and we venture to hope you will do us the honour of accepting it as an acknowledgment by ourselves of your valuable services.\n\nWe avail ourselves of this opportunity to wish you and your family a pleasant, calm, and safe voyage; and sincerely hope that you will derive rest and great benefit from your sojourn in England. We have the honour to be, Sir, Yours most truly.\"\n\n(Here follow signatures and chops.)\n\nThe address is bound in green plush, with silver corners of dragon design, and a central shield bears the following inscription: - \"To James W. Norton-Kyshe, Registrar of the Supreme Court of Hongkong, from the Chinese merchants, on his departure from the colony, December, 1898.\"\n\nMr. Kyshe said - It is gratifying to me as a high official of the Supreme Court to find by the magnificent testimonial which you have presented to me - unknown of your intention but a few moments ago - that you so fully acknowledge the services which I have been able to render to yourselves and countrymen as a public servant in the faithful discharge of his duties. In no department of the service is an official in a better position to make himself appreciated than that connected with the administration of justice, and so far as I am concerned I can assure you that no stone have I left unturned which could make you understand that when entering my office you were there to find yourselves on a footing of equality with any of Her Most Gracious Majesty's subjects seeking what assistance our benign laws could confer upon you. These were my positive instructions to my subordinates on my assumption of duty in Hongkong, and I am pleased to think that on no occasion has it ever been brought to my notice that you were deprived of that assistance whenever you sought for it. For my part, I have done for you what right consonant with justice demanded. Those of you who have sought my advice from time to time well know how earnest I have been in discouraging litigation whenever it was possible to avoid such, and I am glad to know that in several instances I have been successful. I appreciate your testimonial for the little I have been able to do for you. Your allusion to my career in the Straits Settlements brings back very pleasant reminiscences to my mind. I laboured for fifteen years in that colony. There, as here, my services were appreciated by your fellow countrymen, and I now hold up to your view two addresses which were presented to me by the Chinese and other nationalities in Singapore so long ago as in 1884 when I relinquished magisterial duties in that settlement. Although a stranger to Hongkong itself, on my arrival I soon found that the people were no strangers to me. Here, as in the Straits, the backbone of the population is Chinese, and except for change of scene I soon found myself completely at home; and hence the reason probably why, if I may be allowed to say so, I have been able to make my services appreciated. Believe me when I tell you under no Power could the Chinese be a more free people than under British rule. I have often spoken to some of the leading Chinese on the subject, and it is satisfactory to know how much those in that vast empire from which you come appreciate the benefits they derive from being connected with us. This is a matter, gentlemen, that I need not go into further. During my stay here, I have done in my own quiet way, not as a judge in public, but as a Court official sitting in his own Chambers, what good I could, and your kind reference to my recently published work is fully appreciated by me. I shall now carry away with me the highest memento that I could possibly have received, namely, the knowledge that as a public servant specially appointed by the Home Government I have done my duty faithfully towards those who constitute the majority of Her Majesty's subjects and of the foreign community of Hongkong. I thank you for your kind wishes to myself and family and particularly for your magnificent address which I shall hand down to my family as an heirloom.",

Chamberlain, M.P., Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs, dated the 13th September last, and further with reference to an inquiry instituted on the first day of October, 1897, at the Victoria Gaol by the Honourable Captain Superintendent of Police, as to a charge alleged against me by one Tse Leung of his having paid to No. 586, that is to me, in my official capacity of \"Indian Inspector in the Hongkong Police Force\" the money of a Gambling House last year, I have now the honour, most respectfully to forward with this for the due consideration of His Excellency the Governor my Statutory Declaration made before Mr. A. P. Stokes, a notary public of this Colony, denying that I have ever received any money by way of bribe from anybody in this Colony. I have also the honour to further enclose with this a Statutory Declaration made before the said notary public by Mr. William Stanton, late Inspector in the Hongkong Police Force, with reference to the deposition verily believed to have been given by the very same person, Tse Leung, as the one who was deponent against me at an inquiry held on the 24th and 25th days of August, last by the Honourable Captain Superintendent and Mr. Dennys, Crown Solicitor, in connection with certain charges alleged against Mr. Stanton of not discovering and reporting a gambling house at No. 2, Wa Lane, Victoria, in this Colony.\n\nMr. Stanton in his declaration states on oath that the Chinaman Tse Laung at the aforesaid inquiry in August last made a diametrically opposed statement to the one he made in the inquiry held against me, and that in that previous inquiry, whilst under cross-examination by Mr. Stanton, he stated that he had never received any monies from gamblers or gambling houses for the purpose of paying the same to any of the Indian Policemen in the Hongkong Police Force. Just to quote the words of Mr. Stanton's declaration: \"He,\" that is Tse Loung, \"further stated to me that he had never paid any monies to such Indian Policemen by way of bribe. I pressed him in cross-examination and in answer to my questions he stated that he had never paid any monies by way of bribes to any members of the Hongkong Police Force. He further stated that if any person had so informed me (this Deponent) such information would be false and untrue.\"\n\nAs this part of the deposition of Tse Loung is in flagrant and entire contradiction to that given by him in my case, I most respectfully submit that the inference cannot be gainsaid that Tse Leang had been, to say the least of it, deliberately falsifying himself before the Honourable Captain Superintendent in the inquiry held against me, and as I verily believe that the evidences given by the said Tse Loung at both the inquiries have been recorded by the Honourable Captain Superintendent, the information of the contradiction as pointed out above, His Excellency the Governor will be pleased to call for, with a view to give adequate and equitable consideration to any report sent or to be sent by the Honourable Captain Superintendent of the inquiry held against me, and I also pray and entreat that if papers relating to the alleged charge against me are sent to the Right Honourable the Colonial Secretary, the enclosed Statutory Declarations, in justice to one who was an humble servant of the Crown for eighteen years, His Excellency the Governor will be pleased also to send to the Right Honourable Gentleman.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\n**Sir,**\n\nYour most obedient servant,\n\nUTTER SINGH, \nLATE INDIAN SERGEANT-MAJOR \nHONGKONG POLICE FORCE.\n\n## \nI, Alfred Parker Stokes, Notary Public, duly authorised admitted and sworn, residing and practising at Victoria, in the Island and Colony of Hongkong, Do Hereby Certify that I was present on the first day of November instant in my office, No. 2 Queen's Road Central, and did then and there see Utter Singh, the person named in the annexed Statutory Declaration duly sign and declare before me the said Statutory Declaration through the interpretation of Hormusjee Ruttonjee, of Victoria, aforesaid, who was present at the same time, and that the said Hormusjee Ruttonjee did duly declare before me that he had truly, distinctly and audibly interpreted the contents of the said Statutory Declaration to the said Utter Singh, and that he would truly and faithfully interpret the declaration about to be administered unto the said Utter Singh. AND I FURTHER CERTIFY that the name or signature \"Utter Singh\" subscribed to the said Statutory Declaration is of the proper handwriting of the said Utter Singh, AND THAT the name or signature \"A. P. Stokes\" subscribed thereto as the notary public before whom the said Statutory Declaration was made is of the proper handwriting of me, the said Notary.\n\nIN TESTIMONY whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed my seal of office this first day of November, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven.\n\nA. P. STOKES, \nNOTARY PUBLIC, HONGKONG.\n\n## \nIn the matter of the Humble Petition of Utter Singh, of No. 12, Hollywood Road, Victoria, Hongkong, Sergeant Major in the Police Force of that Colony, presented to the Right Honourable Mr. J. Chamberlain, M.P., Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs, Downing Street, London, on the Thirteenth day of September, 1897, and \n\nIn the matter of the Statutory Declarations.\n\nI, Utter Singh, of 19, Hollywood Road, formerly of No. 12, Hollywood Road, Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong, Late Sergeant-Major in the Police Force of that Colony, do solemnly and sincerely declare and say as follows:-\n\n1. On the 1st day of October, 1897, The Honourable Francis Henry May, C.M.G., Captain, Superintendent of Police, directed me to attend before him at Victoria Gaol on the same day at 4 p.m., and I attended accordingly.\n\n2. The Captain Superintendent of Police, who is at the present time also Superintendent Victoria Gaol, first confronted me with a Chinaman, a Prisoner dressed in prison clothes, and whom I do not know, and saw for the first time on the day in question. This man was asked by the Captain Superintendent of Police through an Interpreter to read a paper which was written in the Chinese language. He read out in Chinese, which was interpreted by Interpreter to the Captain Superintendent of Police, the figures 572 and 586.\n\n3. The Captain Superintendent of Police further asked him \"What else was written on the paper?\" And he replied \"$1.55.\"\n\n4. On being asked what the figures 572 and 586 meant, he replied \"These are the numbers of certain Indian policemen,\" and that the last item, viz., $1.55 meant the sum paid to one Tse Leung for payment to these policemen, Nos. 572 and 586.\n\n5. The Captain Superintendent of Police asked, \"To whom did you give these sums?\" and the Chinaman replied \"Tse Leung told me to give it to no one and ask me for money.\"\n\n6. The Captain Superintendent of Police then asked the Chinaman for what purpose was this money given? And he replied, \"They (meaning Policemen Nos. 572 and 586) may have asked Tse Leung for it, but I do not know as to this.\"\n\n7. He was then asked, \"Is there anyone here present who you would recognise as No. 586?\" and the Chinaman replied \"No.\"\n\n8. After this the Captain Superintendent of Police asked me if I wished to ask this Chinaman any question. I replied \"No, I do not wish to ask this man any question.\"\n\n9. This Chinaman was then told to go away and another Chinaman, who was called Tse Leung by the Interpreter, was called forward.\n\n10. The Chinaman Tse Leung whilst the deposition of the before-mentioned Chinaman was being taken was alone in an adjoining room the door of which room was not closed and no one was watching or looking after him.\n\n11. He may or may not have overheard the statement made by the first witness.\n\n12. This man was called forward and answered to the name of Tse Leung.\n\n13. The Captain Superintendent of Police shewed him the same papers as was shewn to the first witness, and asked him to read the entries or what was there written.\n\n14. He read out the numbers 572 and 586 and \"$1.55.\"\n\n15. The Captain Superintendent of Police asked him to explain what these figures meant. He replied, \"It is the money of a gambling house.\"\n\n16. He was then asked, \"What did you pay to No. 586?\" He replied \"$10 a week.\"\n\n17. He was then asked, \"How is $10 a week arrived at?\" He replied, \"70 cents a day from one gambling house,\" the paper or account of which was then before him, and 70 cents a day for another gambling house whose paper or account was not before them.\n\n18. He was then asked, \"Who was No. 586?\" He replied, \"He was the Indian Inspector.\"\n\n19. He was then asked, \"What sort of uniform did Policeman No. 586 wear?\" He replied, \"A uniform similar to Indian Police constables with the distinction by a red sash round the shoulder.\"\n\n20. The next question was, \"When were you to pay this sum?\" He replied (to be prompted by the Captain Superintendent of Police), \"last year.\"\n\n21. He was then asked by the Captain Superintendent of Police \"Why did you pay money to the Indian Inspector?\" He replied, \"Because otherwise he would have beaten me.\" \"Did he ever beat or strike you?\" He replied, \"No.\" \"What was your work or employment?\" He replied, \"I was a watchman to gambling houses.\"\n\n22. After this the Captain Superintendent of Police asked me what I had to say to this. The Captain Superintendent of Police then informed me that the statement of the two above-mentioned Chinamen would be forwarded to His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong.\n\n23. I was then told I could go, and left the gaol.\n\n24. I say that I never saw or had any communication or dealing with either of the two above-mentioned Chinamen and it is absolutely untrue that I received the sum of $10 a week or any other sum or sums of money from both or either of them.",

        "content_text": "# 352\n\nI had a person come to me and say that the Italcover firm give bonds for the property that belonged to my husband, and further said that Matthew had told him that my advocates acquiesce with Matthew and were unfaithful to me.\n\nSome time after a sale to the property was made, a good security for the said property came to me and said Matthew was about closing the deal. On this information, on the 5th March 1883, I had a piece put in the Hong Kong Daily Press newspaper.\n\n## To Whom It May Concern\n\nMr. H. J. Falcover bought out the deceased Matthew Halconer's widow's interest in the firm of Geo. B. Halemer & Co, Watchmakers and Jewellers, Hong Kong.\n\n### Case Details\n\nMr. H. J. Halconer  \nChicago  \nUS America.\n\nAlthough my case is entirely separate from my husband's birthright claim, I was put off by Mr. Francis and the Crown Solicitor, who insisted that I must have my husband present. This I was unable to accomplish until after the death of Matthew, who died in Japan on 17th Sept 1888, and he, my husband, died a few months later in Chicago.\n\nThere can be no question that the Crown Solicitor and Mr. Francis knew that the British Government and the American Government do not uphold people in violating the laws of their country, nor persuade them to sell property that does not belong to them, or to keep on giving documents after they have been transferred by them, nor in obtaining money and goods through false pretences, be it to a great or a small amount. And yet, they did nothing to check this transgression, but looked on while I was wronged, falsified, kept from my rights, and thus reduced to poverty and want, while on the other hand, they allowed criminals to violate the laws and escape punishment.\n\nWhen I took my papers out of the Crown Solicitor's hands, I went to another law firm. I did not tell the solicitor then how long I had been in the Colony, nor that the Crown Solicitor had had my papers. He looked at the documents and papers, said they were right, and told me to come the following day, and in the meantime, he would see Bradley, the agent for his mother, and the manager of the firm. When I saw him, I asked what Matthew had to say for himself. He replied that Matthew, rather excited, said, \"What do you push her case for? Sharp would not do it, and if you law firm will, they will eventually tire out and have to leave the Colony. Her case is but one, and I can throw many suits into your hands.\"\n\nHowever, the solicitor said that if they represented in court to turn over who the bill of sale calls for, it was a clear case of obtaining money by false pretences, and the Crown Solicitor was the person who ought to have attended to it. Although he would like to see me get my rights, still he did not wish to take up a case that might cause unpleasantness between him and the Crown Solicitor.\n\nAllow me to say that the state of affairs could not happen in Chicago. There is no end to lawyers and plenty of courts. When my husband came, Mr. Huart, the U.S. Consul, entreated Mrs. Francis and Solicitor Holmes to take up my case. I saw Mr. Francis, who was only pretending and misleading; he had no intention of bringing up a case that might expose gross neglect and lay himself open for censure.\n\nI petitioned the Court under *pauperis*. The Hon. Sir Fielding Clark, Chief Justice, appointed Mr. Robinson barrister and Mr. Holmes solicitor. But after the Hon. Sir Fielding Clark's departure, matters fell back into the old groove, and Mr. ... \n\nMy last appeal was to His Excellency the Governor. Then I learned that the Falconer firm's books had been spirited away. Francis said Matthew Wilson (alias) Falconer had got all the money out of the Falconer firm and squandered it, so that there was nothing for us to get, even if we won the suit. Consequently, the barristers joined in with Mr. Francis, saying it would be a pity to take up so much of the Court's valuable time for nothing. So no barrister would sign a certain document that would give us a chance to air our claims before the Court here.\n\nMy husband's claim is ... I appeal for an investigation and to see who is in fault for allowing a man without principle, bonds, or security to get other people's property and squander it. And if my claim is established, they should be called on by the Government to make good the amount they have allowed the Halconer firm to get out of reach.\n\nNow Mr. J. J. Francis, Queen's Counsel, says that my bill of sale is good in English Law. I say it is good for what it calls for, had it been taken before a Court. Then if the Falconer firm is not good, it was not...",

The highest of these is the Taipang Hip or colonel commanding at Taip'ang, a town to the north-east of Mirs Bay. This officer has also quarters at Kowloon, and for this reason is commonly known as the Kowloon Mandarin. He is under the control of the General or of the Kwongtung province, and has under his command several officers and some troops. \n\nMap VII shows where the various officials are stationed. It will be observed from this map that, as a rule, the petty military officers, who control the islands, do not reside on them, but have their headquarters at Taip'ang, on the mainland. \n\n## PRISONS \n\nThere is one main prison, situated at Namt'au, and under the control of an officer entitled Tien Shih. The prison is built to accommodate 120 persons, but is seldom occupied by more than 30 or 40. In addition to the prison, there are six lock-ups, one for each of the four Tung or Divisions into which the district is divided, and two under the control of the deputy magistrates, for detaining persons pending trial. \n\n## POLICE \n\nThere are two classes of police in the district. One class, called ch'ai or runners, is stationed in the district city under the control of the magistrate. They are about 60 in number and are sent, as occasion requires, throughout the district for a variety of purposes, including the making of arrests, the collecting of the land tax, and acting generally as the eyes and ears of the magistrate. They receive no pay from Government, but manage to earn a fair livelihood by illicit squeezes. \n\nIn addition to this class of police, there are, in each village throughout the district, at least two kang fu or village constables, who are appointed by the village, and paid out of contributions made by the villagers according to the extent of their holdings in land. Large villages have five or six constables, the head constable being styled `p`. Their duty is to keep watch, especially at night. They have the power of arrest, which is deputed to them by the gentry and elders of the village. \n\n## LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN THE VILLAGES \n\nIf a person is arrested by a village constable, he is taken before the gentry and elders of the village, who assemble in a place specially appointed for the purpose. The gentry and elders, who are the representatives of the clans inhabiting the villages, are selected by the inhabitants to deal with cases in the village council. \n\nThe usual cases are those of theft, disputes about land, domestic squabbles, and cases of debt. Most of these cases are summarily dealt with by the village council, and, as a rule, the decision of that council is accepted as final. But if either of the parties to a case is dissatisfied, he can appeal to a council of the Tung, or to a general council made up of representatives of the different Tung. A reference to Map VI will show how the newly leased territory is divided into Tung or Divisions. Each council of a Tung contains representatives of the villages which make up the Tung. In addition to a council of a Tung, there is a general council for the whole of the Tung Lo or Eastern Section, which is practically that portion of the district of Sanon contained in the map attached to the Convention (Map I). This general council is styled the Tung Ping Kuk or Council of Peace for the Eastern Section. It has its council chamber at the market town of Sham Chun, which is regarded as the centre of the Eastern Section. \n\nIf the decision of the council of the Tung or of the General Council is not regarded as satisfactory, an appeal lies to the magistrate of the district. \n\n13 \n\n## THE PROPOSED FUTURE GOVERNMENT OF THE NEWLY LEASED TERRITORY \n\nI am of opinion that, in the future government of the newly leased area, the organization at present in existence should be, as far as possible, utilised. In order to effect this, I recommend that the head of the Administration should be a Resident Commissioner, subordinate to the Governor of Hong Kong, but in all other respects independent. His headquarters should be in the neighbourhood of Taipohui, which seems the most central position, where all the Government Offices and prison should be established. He should be assisted by an Executive Council, consisting of himself, the Treasurer, the Head of the Police, and by an Advisory Council, made up of himself and native representatives, one selected from each Tung or Division. The native representatives should be granted some title, as is done in Ceylon, in order to make them regard the position of member of the Advisory Council as one to be coveted. In addition to a Resident Commissioner, who will, of course, require a Secretary, the following staff will be necessary: \n\n- A Treasurer. He should collect taxes, fees, and all other items of revenue, and pay all salaries and other items of expenditure. In the department of the Treasurer should be a Land Officer, to whom should be entrusted the important duty of having all claims to land properly surveyed and registered, and leases duly issued. The work of this Officer will, for some time to come, be very heavy. Land is held in small allotments, and in many cases, the amount of land mentioned in the lease is not in agreement with the actual holding, and a good deal of land is held without any proper title. I think it would be well to appoint as Land Officer someone who has had practical experience of surveying, and to place under him native surveyors, such as can, I am informed, be obtained from Ceylon. The cost of this staff may be somewhat excessive to begin with, but it is of great importance that the question of titles to land should be settled as soon as possible. I am of opinion that at least eight (8) native surveyors will be necessary. It is unnecessary to point out that the sooner the titles to land are definitely settled, the easier it will be to collect the land tax. Indeed, until such titles are decided, it is impossible to know exactly what land is really available for Crown land. \n\n- The chief work of the Public Works Department will be to erect buildings and to construct roads and piers. A staff consisting of one assistant engineer, a draughtsman, two clerks, and a few overseers would suffice at first. The officers of this Department should, I think, be under the supervision of the Director of Public Works of Hong Kong, so that the new territory may have the benefit of the experience and advice of that officer. I may mention that the present Director of Public Works, Mr. Ormsby, is of opinion that the supervision of the public works in the new territory can, without difficulty, be arranged from Hong Kong. \n\n## POLICE \n\nA European should be appointed as head of the police, and should have under him a Chief Inspector, 4 European Sergeants, and an Indian Sergeant, to act as Jemadar of the Indian Police. A force of at least 30 Chinese and 20 Indians should be enrolled and stationed at headquarters or other convenient places, from whence they could patrol the territory in different directions, in order to maintain peace and good order, and to protect the lives and property of the inhabitants. This force should be properly drilled and partially mounted. A detective force of 15 men will also be required. The existing system of village constables should be maintained, the T, or head constable, being held responsible to the Watch Committee of the village for the good order of the village. The number of these village constables in the Tung Lo, or Eastern section, must be over 1,000. Their pay, which is at present defrayed by the villages, is very small, and will, no doubt, have to be increased in order to secure efficiency. It is hoped that this large force may be gradually improved and converted into a well-disciplined force of military police. To begin with, however, it will be necessary to take them as they are, and make the best possible use of their services. \n\nThe village council should, for purposes of police, act as a watch committee, and control the village constables, the T being in the first instance responsible to them. \n\nWith regard to the policing of the islands, an Indian and 3 native Chinese should be stationed on the island of Cheung Chau, and the same number of men at Tai-O, in the island of Lantao. These police should be under the immediate supervision of a superior officer.",

        "content_text": "Jaime Shan \n\n22 \n\nThe burning of coral or shells is, as a rule, better for building purposes, so the absence of rock limestone, if such turns out to be the case, does not matter. A lead mine was worked for some years on the side of Tai-Mo Shan, but the working discontinued for some reason about 6 years ago. Galena was also found near Kowloon, and on the north side of Lantao, and elsewhere. These workings should be examined by a mining expert, and the richness of the ore ascertained. The natives also speak of alluvial tin being found. Silver and lead were worked on the south of the island of Lantao within recent years, but without success financially, possibly due rather to Chinese official interference and bad management than to the absence of a paying richness in the ore. Expensive buildings were erected on the sea-shore, and machinery said to have cost 100,000 dollars imported and erected. Even when the speculation collapsed, the plant was valued at $30,000, all of which is said to have been abandoned. Only the foundations and cement floors of some of the buildings remain, and the brick chimney shaft of the smelting works.\n\nOn the Tai Mo Shan range, gneiss, syenite, and trap rocks predominate. Massive boulders of gneiss of a bluish grey or greenish colour are scattered over the mountain side and in the ravines. On the slopes in which the best pasturage is found, there is a stiff yellow clay, with veins of quartz gravel.\n\nThe smaller Lantao Island is chiefly granite on the south face and trap rocks on the north, the latter being consequently much better covered with vegetation and trees. Islands, such as Cheung-chau, P'ing-chau, and Lamma, seem to be almost entirely granite.\n\nIt will be understood that as only 12 days in all were spent in the exploration of the mainland and islands, no accurate or close geological survey was possible; the predominating rocks were judged as much from the stone used in the paved footpaths, stream crossings, sea walls, and houses, as from the bed rocks on the hill sides, usually difficult of access. This geological description of the country is, therefore, of a very sketchy and imperfect character, and a closer and more careful examination by a professional geologist, or an expert in mineralogy, will doubtless bring to light much that has escaped my observation.\n\n## Appendix No. 3.\n\n### TABLE SHOWING THE DISTRIBUTION OF RACES.\n\n| No. | Division | Punti | Hakka | Total Population in each Division | No. of Villages | Population |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 4 | Cn-Long... | 9918 |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  | Punti |  | 5,000 | 4 | 5,000 |\n| 2 | Sham Chun | Punti | 20 | 12,900 |  |  |\n|  |  | Hakka | 6 | 1,180 | 26 | 14,080 |\n| 3 | Sha Tau Kok | Hakka | 51 | 8,530 |  |  |\n|  |  | Punti | 1 | 70 | 55 | 8,600 |\n|  |  |  |  |  | 49 | 20,980 |\n|  |  |  |  |  | 10 | 2,040 |\n|  |  |  |  |  | 59 | 23,020 |\n| 5 | (How Loon) |  |  |  | 60 | 10,210 |\n|  | Kau Lung (Koudron) | Punti | 22 | 5,830 |  |  |\n| 6 |  | Hakka | 32 | 9,200 | 54 | 15,030 |\n| 7 | Islands | Punti | 5 | 9,150 |  |  |\n|  |  | Hakka | 31 | 4,460 |  |  |\n|  |  | Tanka | 7 | 110 | 43 | 13,720 |\n| Total |  |  |  |  | 423 | 100,320 |\n| 5 | Sheung Ü | Punti |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  | Hakka | :: | :: | 10 | 23 |\n\n## No. 4\n\n### Report on Appendix\n\nOne of the first and most pressing needs is a good cart road on an easy trace from the shores of Mirs Bay, where it approaches nearest to Kowloon city, over to British Kowloon. Such a road can readily be made as a continuation of the road already constructed on the west side of the peninsula to Mong-kok-tsui. The trace would pass through Tai-kok-tsui and along the sea coast past Lai-chi-kok, Kei-pa-kang, &c., rising by an easy gradient until it passed round the end of the southerly mountain range, and entered the valley leading down towards Sha-tin Inlet in Mirs Bay. Leaving Sha-tin on the right, the trace would pass the villages of Tai-Wai, Cheung-Lung, Fo-tan, and keeping up by Kau-to, drop again to the important centre of Tai-po market, Tai-po Hiu at the head of Tolo harbour. From there, the road should follow the existing Tai-po paths up the valley to the north-west to Sham Chun. The line I have indicated only scales 22 miles on the map, and I am of opinion that a good carriage road trace would turn out to be not more than 25 or 26 miles. I put this road first, as I consider it far and away the most important; it would pass through the centre of the territory, and not only would afford rapid and easy access to Hong Kong markets for villagers with produce to dispose of, but would render the administration of the new territory simple. Besides this, there is daily communication by junks from different points on Mirs Bay with Tai-po-hiu and Sha-wai-tin.\n\nNext in importance, I would put a road from Sham Chün to Sha-au-kok or Starling Inlet. This road would be about 10 miles long and on very easy gradients, the greatest elevation between these two towns being only 80 feet above sea level.\n\nThe road on the east side of British Kowloon through Hung-Ho should be carried on to Kowloon city, and generally following the existing footpath through a low pass in the chain of hills, be continued on to the important town of Sai-Kung on the shores of Port Shelter. This road should eventually be continued across the dividing range to the shore of Tolo Harbour in Mirs Bay.\n\nThe roads so far described should, in my opinion, be what I would designate as second-class carriage roads, 12 feet wide, all rivers and streams permanently bridged with stone or iron structures, stone cross drains, and surfaced with the best gravel or disintegrated rock obtainable locally, all soft ground having a bottoming of large stones; 1 in 18 should be the steepest gradients permitted. On such roads, Chinese ponies in light two-wheeled carriages could readily accomplish 8 miles an hour, bringing Sham-Chun within a three hours' drive of Kowloon. I roughly estimate the cost of such roads at $10,000 a mile, but in the absence of surveys and sections, this must be considered rather of a guess.\n\nBesides these, some good bridle roads should be constructed, the most important being one leaving the first main road above described where it enters the valley leading to Sha-tin, skirting the hills close above Tsun-wan, following the telegraph line path through one of the gaps on Tai-Mo-Shan down into the Pat-heung Valley, and so on to Un-long-hiu and Ping-shan by Kam-tin. A road joining Lung-hau with Sham-Chun would also be desirable. Another useful road would be one connecting Pat-heung Valley with Tai-po-hiu through the Lam-tsün valley, a low ridge of hills between the two making this a simple matter. These bridle roads should be 6 feet wide, with stone culverts over the smaller streams, and paved fords over the larger ones, to save expense in bridging. The gradients should be limited to 1 in 10, but carriage road gradients adopted if possible, with a view to future developments. The natural surface might be left. I estimate that such roads should not cost more than $2,000 a mile.",

Also, reformatting tables and lists, and ensuring that file references are correctly formatted without spaces.\n\n## Step 9: Address the specific requirements for output\nSince the output needs to be in HTML and the input is a complex mix of text, the focus should be on preserving the original information while correcting errors and improving readability.\n\n## Step 10: Realize the complexity of direct conversion\nDirectly converting the given text into a coherent HTML format while correcting OCR errors and following the specific rules provided is highly complex due to the text's nature and the mix of languages.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nSan-on-in \n\nPakshel \n\n'Tho-tsun \n\nyung \n\nCheung-ha \n\nKen-diau \n\n+++ Ma-Eck-we \n\n*** \n\nTaishan 1. \n\nTun-tan O \n\nAcung· \n\nChili wan \n\n...\n\nathaches were \n\n25 ft \n\ndelivered nu \n\ntobili \n\nA \n\nItalim now being \n\n& perpred \n\nItation \n\n47 \n\nbuilt \n\nhow the \n\nMing Couchuulid \n\nAAA \n\nhivshad \n\nWan ha \n\n# \n\n22ft \n\nisft \n\n+ \n\nSai-he \n\ndeung-chi hok \n\nMud banks \n\njuf't \n\nBluck rink \n\nDEEP \n\nBAY \n\nSha-ho \n\nShut-mi \n\nSan-tau \n\nOyster \n\nbeds \n\nKong ho \n\nWony-Bang \n\nShek-ha \n\nShui Woi \n\nMud \n\nM u d \n\n banks \n\nNgai hem \n\n-the Lad \n\nSan Wai \n\nTai-slati \n\nNam-vita \n\nis not \n\nPale-long \n\nTuk \n\nTang-ku 1. \n\ndang \n\nShiu-chau \n\nLang \n\nNot wai \n\nba \n\n\" \n\n$ \n\nLong-Ising \n\nf \n\nM \n\nShap-pal hening \n\nTaising \n\nHa-mi \n\nWang-chan \n\nShe \n\n6/ \n\nHa-Tu \n\nSa's Kha \n\nTang-shan... \n\n** Chrung uk-tuz \n\n• Piany shan+a \n\nGrewing po \n\nKak \n\nIn \n\nPaddy \n\n1 d \n\nVin-long-hi \n\nPak-ut. \n\nCheung-ah-chann \n\n0 \n\nYou-tin \n\nTi-same \n\nLo-ún \n\nShan Tung wi \n\nCL \n\n@Sui-hang O \n\nTing du wei \n\n*Tong-x-uni \n\nSt-Lin \n\n2000 \n\nThe TOURISTS GUIDE \n\nwith \n\nto HONG \n\nKONG \n\nSHORT TRIPS to the MAINLAND of CHINA \n\nREFERENCES \n\nPROGRAMMES \n\n℗ Mandarin Station & Village.

As a rule it will be found safe to leave for Deep Bay on the first of the flood or at dead low water in Hongkong.\n\nINTRODUCTION.\n\nThe map here introduced describes the most southern portion of the Sun On District situated in that part of the Kwangtung Province immediately adjacent to the British Crown Colony of Hongkong. The object with which it has been compiled is to encourage and assist the Hongkong resident, as well as the tourist, to become acquainted with a neighbourhood or district that, at no far distant date may assume a position of special interest and show unmistakable signs of a very rapid development.\n\nAlthough on a first introduction to the landscape there appears to be little else than barren hills plentifully besprinkled with black looking objects, which on closer examination prove to be weather-beaten, sun-burnt granite boulders, yet behind these ranges of hills there are many thousands of acres of rich valley land where rice and a variety of other cereals and tubers are extensively cultivated. Besides these, sugar cane, ground nut and sweet potatoes thrive on the lower slopes and patches may occasionally be seen on portions of rising ground surrounded by the flooded paddy fields. Garden fruit and vegetables of the usual varieties may also be met with in the larger villages, about the confines of which, they are cultivated mostly for home consumption. In the neighbourhood of Deep Bay, more particularly to the eastward, the lichee is abundantly grown and in the Bay itself will be found the most extensive oyster beds in this part of the province.

I stated that I was not anxious to have the man back again in the Colony, and I advised that the consideration of Wong Kwok's offer should be deferred. That was accordingly done.\n\nOn the 3rd inst. I again reported that I had been informed by one of the Chinese detective staff that Kwok was still anxious to make the declaration referred to in my report of last year, and on the terms mentioned therein. I thought that it would be valuable to have such a declaration, and I asked for authority to obtain it.\n\nAt an interview with the Officer Administering the Government, His Excellency expressed his reluctance to accede to the condition stipulated by Wong Kwok. Thereupon I sent to inform Wong Kwok that the Government would not make the promise he desired, and to ask him if he would make a declaration unconditionally.\n\nThe reply was brought down by Wong Kwok's wife, who apparently wished to satisfy herself as to the authenticity of the verbal communication from me, and on the 15th instant I reported that Wong Kwok adhered to the condition imposed by him. I had not myself interviewed Mr. Wong Kwok on the 15th inst. as I was unwell, and was not well enough to do so till the 18th instant.\n\nOn the 19th inst. I reported to you that I had informed Mrs. Wong Kwok that I could hold out no promise of any remission of her husband's term of banishment, and that I had received no instructions from the Govt. on the subject, and that I had told her that if her husband liked to go to the British Consul at Canton and make his declaration I would forward it to the Government, but that I was not in a position to hold out any hope of indulgence being extended by Government to her husband.\n\nP.C. 137 Hau Han returned with Mrs. Wong Kwok to Canton to convey my answer to her husband. On the 20th inst. the Constable returned with Wong Kwok's declaration which I at once forwarded to You. The Constable's report of how it had been obtained reads as follows:-\n\nI left Hong Kong for Canton at 6pm",

        "content_text": "- important\n\nexpended, I hope to lay before you supplemental returns which will be necessary for the carrying on of these works. There is one question raised in this memorandum which I consider is unfortunate, inasmuch as it is a matter of principle. Section 4 of the memorandum reads \"Whilst we are ready to concede that certain of the contemplated works in the New Territory may be defrayed out of the general revenue, we are most decidedly of opinion that the principal works for developing it should be provided for by a loan. The public works on this island have been long deferred for want of funds, and now that they are available for proceeding with the most important of these works we feel bound to deprecate, in the strongest manner, any proposal to divert such funds to any other purpose whatever.\" Now my instructions are very definite from the Secretary of State, and those instructions are that the revenue of the New Territory shall be a portion of the general revenue of the colony, and that being the case the necessary expenditure on the New Territory must come out of the general revenue of the colony. Apart from the fact that Her Majesty's Government do not consider that a loan is advisable for these works in the New Territory and I may say at once that I concur entirely in the opinion of the Secretary of State, the fact remains that we have a certain amount of money over what we require. There is a prima facie necessity in the New Territory. That prime necessity is a road to connect this place with the deep water at Mirs Bay. That road having been made and the police stations built or well in hand, I do not know that, with the exception possibly of the Kowloon Water Works, there are any other important works for which money will be required for the present. I know that it has been proposed that we shall make a number of roads, and I believe that in the future a number of roads will be made, but I think it is well to know by experience what it is absolutely necessary to spend in the first instance. No doubt it will be necessary to connect these roads in the future, but I do not think any burning necessity exists at present except for that particular road to Mirs Bay, which will give me immediate command of the district. Police Stations of course are necessary. As you know, the amount of money required for the policing of the New Territory is a good deal in excess of what was estimated at the time Mr. Lockhart first saw the country. We thought a very few police would be sufficient; now we know the condition of the country and that from time immemorial clan fights and armed robberies have been the order of the day. I admit that one of the works it will be necessary to go on with in the near future is the Kowloon Water Works. Then the question of a loan may be finally considered if we have not the money to go on with the work, but at the present moment we have plenty of money for the works we propose to take in hand.\n\nThen there is another question, a question of principle, and one which will have to be considered later. That is the question as to how far we are justified in the colony, in asking for public works which are not works of permanent utility, like waterworks or sanitary works, in considering the premia derived from land sales as available for the purpose. It must be admitted by you gentlemen, who are business men, that in using premia we are using the capital of the colony, and the question arises as to whether that or a certain portion of it should not be put to a reserve fund in view of ...\n\nThat is a matter which requires very careful consideration, especially at a time like the present when we derive a very large income from land sales. I am not at all sure that that large income is going to continue in years to come. This is one of those matters which will have to be considered here and also in London.\n\nWith regard to the fifth paragraph in the memorandum, I am entirely in accord with it, and I think I may say the same with regard to the memorandum as a whole. I am as anxious as you that these works should be carried out. I see the honourable member for the Chamber of Commerce was anxious about a New Post Office, a shelter for chair coolies at the Peak, and public latrines. I entirely agree with him. It is my intention that a shelter for chair coolies at the Peak shall be put up next year, it is my intention that as many latrines as possible shall be built next year, because I think they are of cardinal importance; these money ... future requirements.\n\nPage 391",

On the 5th inst. a body of rebels attacked a force of Chinese troops in the village of Sha Wan, whom they defeated, killing it is reported 8 men. The rebels are reported to be armed with modern rifles. They did not plunder, but levied blackmail, seized arms, and endeavoured to enlist the people. They retired to Tam Shui from Sha Wan, leaving untouched the village of La Loi, where the Basel Mission has a station, and which is but a few miles west of Sha Wan.\n\n3. I communicated with Her Majesty's Consul-General at Canton, who informed me that troops would be sent to Sam Chow, close to our territory on the borders. M. Admiral Ro arrived at that town from the Bogue forts with 1000 men and was joined by another force of 1000 men on the 10th.\n\n4. On the 9th, a force of 800 soldiers marching from Wei Chow was surprised at Ta Mo Kong by the rebels, who are reported to have killed 40 and captured 3 of them, who were at once beheaded.\n\nRight Honourable \nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.",

He is hardly the class of person I anticipated to see. The salary offered led me to believe someone of the type of Trade Warder in the Gaol would accept the post and no doubt that was the intention of the Superintendent of Police in fixing the salary. Mr Bullin is a married man of 43, with a wife and a young adopted child. According to his statement, he was Superintendent of the Mile End Old Town Schools from 1898 to October, 1900, and previous to that, for six years, Superintendent of a private Institution called the Orphan Homes of Scotland at Bridge of Weir. He has also been business manager of a Training Home for girls, restaurants, and mission-halls maintained, I understand, by Lady Ashburton. At Mile End, Mr. Bullin's salary was £100 a year with Board and Lodging, and Mrs. Bullin's £40.\n\n2. \nIt may be barely possible for Mr. Bullin, if he observes the strictest economy, to live on his salary, which, with Exchange Compensation, amounts now to $75 a month. But when the hot weather commences, he will have to buy summer clothing, of which he has none, and the allowance given him for furnishing is insufficient. In fact, in a few months' time, as far as I can see, Mr. Bullin must be in debt, and I do not see how he can ever get out of it.\n\n3. \nMr. Bullin has made no application for an increase of salary; perhaps he hardly realises his position. He has already spent the $75 allowed him for furnishing and has to show for it a bad and spring mattress, a dining table, washstand, dressing table, meat safe, and commode, and he now applies for a further $75. Is the Government to grant the $75 asked for, or to wait until Mr. Bullin applies for an increase of salary before taking any further steps, or to anticipate the application and grant him a small increase of salary at once?\n\n4. \nA married man, but without children, and who is well known to live very economically, puts his monthly expenditure...\n\n|             | \n|-------------|\n| Stewart-Lockhart, C.

        "content_text": "108\n\nHongkong, but I have got many ideas about what Hongkong will be in the future, and I cannot help thinking myself that Kowloon will some day very shortly surprise everybody by the extraordinary strides it will make. I think you, Mr. Ho Tung, yourself in the speech you made at the laying of the foundation stone, referred to Kowloon as a suburb of Hongkong. Well, it has been a beautiful suburb of Hongkong. It still is a very pretty suburb of Hongkong, but I cannot help thinking that in the near future, before very many years, anybody coming to describe Kowloon will talk about it as the workshop of Hongkong. I think it is impossible not to see how these strides will go in Kowloon, and therefore I think that a gift of this kind, which will increase the educational facilities of the residents of Kowloon, is an enormous boon to those residents.\n\nI congratulate you also, Mr. Ho Tung, on the choice of the headmaster, Mr. James. As was said by Mr. Pearce, Mr. James is no stranger to Hongkong. But from what I know, and from all I hear of him, I fancy that we have got a most excellent man to do the work that is set before him, and I also hope that that work will not be uncongenial to him. When Mr. James left Hongkong to take up another appointment he left the Colony alone. He has returned to the Colony with Mrs. James, and I venture to say from what I know and from what I hear of Mrs. James, that she will be a fitting helpmate to him in the work that lies before them both. I think we are very fortunate indeed in having secured both their services in this excellent public school. (Applause.)\n\nLadies and gentlemen, I do not propose to detain you very much longer. I will only say this. I think anybody who sees, as we all see here, the enormous strides that are being made every day in this Colony, will recognise that of all things we should keep pace with these strides in the matter of education. I certainly am strongly in favour of giving all possible facilities for education. When one finds the number of people that come to Hongkong and Kowloon increasing, one must feel that these must bring with them a number of parents whose children are growing up in Hongkong; and the boon that it will be to those parents to get education for their children on the spot—it is impossible almost to say how great that boon will be.\n\nWell, if you agree with me that we have every reason to be grateful to Mr. Ho Tung for his munificent present, your way of showing your gratitude will be by patronising thoroughly the school, by giving it every chance of success; and as I prophesy that before many years are out this school, as it appears to us to-day, will scarcely be sufficient for the wants of Kowloon, I need only say that the record of Mr. Ho Tung's generosity will find others equally liberal-minded and equally generous with himself to follow in his footsteps, and, if occasion requires, to make equally munificent and practical bequests. (Applause.) Ladies and gentlemen, I would like now, if I may, to lead you up to the school so as to declare it formally open. (Applause.)\n\nThe company then walked up to the door of the school, and His Excellency performed the ceremony of unlocking it and declaring the school open, the consummation of the ceremonial being greeted with cheers.\n\nCake and wine were afterwards served in the large classroom, which was decorated for the occasion. Here,\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY proposed the toast of prosperity to the school and the health of Mr. Ho Tung in the words—I drink prosperity to the school and also the health and prosperity of its giver, Mr. Ho Tung.\n\nThe toast was duly honoured.\n\nMr. Ho Tung in reply said—Your Excellency, I thank you most heartily for the honour you have done me in proposing the toast of my health, and you, ladies and gentlemen, for the kind manner in which you have received it. I trust that the school will prosper and be a boon to the inhabitants of Kowloon. (Applause.)\n\nThis concluded the proceedings, and the company afterwards dispersed. A body of Indian police under Sergeant Garrod was present to receive His Excellency General Gascoigne.",

        "content_text": "later, you took your seat at the Legislative Council of the Colony, and in 1891 at the Executive Council. In 1894 you filled the office of Acting Colonial Secretary, and in the succeeding year took up the position of Colonial Secretary and Registrar-General, since which period you have discharged the duties of the high office which you are now relinquishing. Further, in the year 1898, you were appointed Special Commissioner to report on the extension of the Colony's boundaries, and in 1899 Representative of Great Britain for the delimitation of those boundaries. For the way in which you carried out these important functions you, upon each occasion, received the thanks of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State. On numerous Committees, dealing with matters of interest and moment to the Colony, you have served as Chairman or Secretary, and your national love of sports, especially in connection with the Victoria Rowing Club and the Hongkong Football Club, is too well known to call for more than a passing word. You are leaving us now to assume the Commissionership of Weihaiwei, the eastern advance-post of Great Britain, and we look forward with confidence to your future, in the hope and belief that there lies before you a distinguished career in positions of still greater importance than those you have been already called upon to occupy.\n\nWith regard to the various questions which had to be dealt with, from time to time, in the Legislative Council, you not only displayed both ability and tact, but you showed an unfailing courtesy to those whose opinions differed from your own. Your knowledge of the Chinese language, and the pains you have taken to make yourself intimately acquainted with the feelings and customs of the Chinese people, have greatly facilitated the harmonious official intercourse which has existed between the Government and that numerous and important section of the community. In bidding you farewell, we have desired to limit the signatories to this momento to those whose lives have been cast in the same Civil Service as your own and to the Unofficial Members of Council who have had special opportunities of appreciating your arduous work,\n\nHon. J. H. STEWART LOCKHART—Mr. Goodman and gentlemen, It is exceedingly difficult for me, I can assure you, to respond in any way adequately to the very kind words that you, Mr. Goodman, have used with regard to me and to the very kind wishes which are expressed in the address which you have just been good enough to read. No one, sir, can be more sensible of my own shortcomings than I am myself. It makes one sad, in looking back over the number of years I have resided in this Colony, to think what a number of opportunities one has lost and of the many things one has neglected that one might have done; but it is cheering, although one feels one's shortcomings so keenly—it is cheering to find one's friends rally round one on the eve of one's departure and wish him all the good wishes that you have wished towards me.\" (Applause.) I need hardly say that my regret at leaving Hongkong is very keen indeed; but the bitterness of parting is to a great extent mollified by the recollection that though I am leaving Hongkong I am leaving behind me in Hongkong loyal and trusted friends who during many years have shown me innumerable kindnesses which I shall never forget and here today is another illustration of their kindness, in meeting me and presenting me with this address and their good wishes. The members of Council and my fellow Civil Servants have all one object in view, and that object is the prosperity of the Colony. (Hear, hear.) Differences of opinion may arise at various times as to how that prosperity is to be best advanced, but our object is always the same; and so long as the members of Council and the Civil Servants co-operate heartily together there is no doubt that the prosperity of this Colony, already so great, will become greater still. (Applause.)\n\nTo the members of the Civil Service I can only say I am proud indeed to have been a member of this Service for so many years. If every Colony possesses a Civil Service like Hongkong I think they are indeed to be envied, and nothing do I more regret than having to leave behind me my colleagues in the Civil Service, who always most heartily and loyally co-operated with me when I was a junior and when I became head of a Department latterly, being promoted to the office of Colonial Secretary, and I am glad to take this opportunity to thank them all individually for their kindness to me during the whole of my period of service in Hongkong. Mr. Goodman has referred to \"good fish in the sea\" and the difficulty of landing really good fish. But I think in Mr. May, who is to be my successor, a very excellent fish has been landed. (Applause.) Mr. May is a very old friend of my own. I have known him during almost the whole of my service in Hongkong, and he is also well known to the community of Hongkong; and therefore it does not require any words from me to commend him to this Colony. I feel perfectly certain he will make an excellent Colonial Secretary and aid and promote every good work that has for its object the promotion of the welfare of Hongkong. You have referred, sir, to my departure for Weihaiwei. Weihaiwei is more or less at present an unknown country. I only trust that under the aegis of the British flag it will be made to prosper. I can promise you I shall do my best to make it prosper, and when the day arrives—if it ever does arrive—when it has to have a Civil Service of its own, I trust it will be as fortunate in that respect as Hongkong is today. (Applause.) I feel it is impossible for me to thank you sufficiently for all you have said to-day and all you have done in the past. All I can say, gentlemen, is I thank you from the bottom of my heart. (Applause.) The proceedings were brought to a close with three cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Lockhart, proposed by the Hon. Murray Rumsey.\n\nBANQUET IN THE CITY HALL. In the evening the Chinese community entertained Mr. Lockhart to a banquet in the City Hall. Nearly a hundred Chinese gentlemen were present, and amongst those sitting at Mr. Lockhart's table were the Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hon. A. M. Thomson, Hon. A. W. Brewin, and Messrs. Tao, Lau Chupak, C. Clementi, R. F. Johnston, Ho Tung, Fung Wa Chun, Ho Fook, B. Hancock, Wei On, and Mok Man Cheng. The band of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers had been engaged for the occasion, and discoursed at intervals throughout the evening under the conductorship of Bandmaster Moir, who at a later stage in the proceedings was thanked by Dr. Ho Kai for his services.\n\nThe company having honoured the usual loyal toasts, Dr. Ho Kai called upon Mr. Fung Wa Chun, in the unavoidable absence of the Hon. Wei A Yuk, to propose the toast of the evening, that of their guest, Mr. Lockhart.\n\nMr. FUNG WA CHUN said, Mr. Chairman, with much pleasure I rise to propose the toast of the evening, namely, the health of our distinguished guest, the Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart. For nearly 20 years I have known Mr. Lockhart, and during that time I have had many opportunities of studying him, both as an official and as a private individual. The conclusion I have arrived at after these long years is that he is an able official, a worthy man, and a sincere friend. The public services he has rendered to this Colony are well known to you.",

        "content_text": "280 \n\n7. Having established Police Stations, and arranged for the patrol of the territorial waters by Police launches to check armed robberies ashore and afloat, the question of Crown Rents and Taxes had next to be considered.\n\nThe district is a poor one, and almost entirely dependent upon agriculture and fishing, and, north of the range of Kowloon Hills, the main source of revenue must for the present be the Crown Rent upon land. This necessitated a survey, and demarcation of the holdings, for which purpose a staff of Surveyors and Demarcators were obtained from India. At the same time a Land Court was established to deal with all claims and grant leases to those who could prove title by deeds, or, in the absence of adverse claim, by occupation. To understand the difficulties of the Demarcators it must be remembered that much of the cultivation is on hilly ground, the small rice plots, which must be perfectly flat to admit of periodical flooding when the rice is sown, being terraced in patches, some of which are but a few square yards in area. Up to the 31st March the total number of such farms demarcated was 283,975, while the total number of holdings for which claims have been presented to the Land Court was 219,517. In this Land Court I determined that Solicitors and Barristers should not have a right to appear without the special permission of the Court, as the claims were for small amounts and I felt that substantial justice would be done at the smallest cost to the claimants. In the performance of this duty, Mr. Gompertz, Assistant Colonial Secretary, who has from the beginning been a Member of the Land Court, has done excellent work. His report, given in Appendix No. 2 forwarded with the report on the Territory for 1900, shows some of the difficulties that presented themselves in the settlement of these claims, and the attached map of a portion of the map of claims for the land and village of Sam Shui Po, in the Kowloon Peninsula, now before the Land Court, will further show how these claims overlap in apparently inextricable confusion. Here the assistance of Counsel has been permitted as the claims represent very large sums, the value of land south of the Kowloon range having enormously increased since the taking over of the Territory. An exemplification of this is given in the case of a portion of the shore of Devil's Peak Peninsula, west of Lyemun Pass. The claimant obtained about eleven years ago a right to about 127 acres for the purpose of establishing fishing ponds. The consideration was five dollars per annum. Having paid one or two years' rent he was five years in arrear when the first whisper was known that the land would probably be ceded to Great Britain, upon which rumour he paid the arrears, and in due course laid his claim before the Land Court, which confirmed his grant. The total amount paid by him was about thirty dollars. As soon as his claim was confirmed he sold it to a local company for fifty thousand dollars, as the bay, a portion of which is included in the claim, is suitable for the construction of a dock. I hope that the labours of the Land Court may be concluded by the end of this year, when Mr. Gompertz will revert to his substantive appointment of Assistant Colonial Secretary.\n\n8. The Revenue collected from the Territory during the year was $45,334.03. I question whether the revenue to be derived from Crown Rent at the rate fixed at present will exceed $60,000, so far as the New Territory is concerned, outside the portion between the Kowloon range of hills and the Harbour; but for this portion I look forward to a steady development as soon as the claims to the land have been settled. As will be seen in reference to Appendix No. 1 p. 19 of the report forwarded with my despatch No. 61 of 19th February, 1900, the right to alter the amount of Crown Rent there laid down for the three classes of cultivable land was reserved, but, having regard to the density of the population and their condition, I question whether any general increase will be found advisable. The area of the New Territory is about 370 square miles, of which the cultivated area is about 45,000 acres or 61 square miles. The estimated population is 100,000. Therefore, although the population shows but 270 persons per square mile of the total area, the population per square mile of cultivated area is 1,639, and while to the produce of the land must be added the result of the fishing, in which a considerable number of the inhabitants are engaged for a portion of the year, it is evident that, having regard to the density of the population, there can be but little taxable margin in the absence of other than agricultural industries. Although up to the present the hills have not been utilised for pastoral purposes, I am not without hope that by the introduction of more succulent grasses the 200 square miles of now barren hills may be made to support cattle sufficient to supply the demands of Hongkong, now dependent upon the import of cattle from the North and West River—sources that recent action of the Governor of Kwang Si in prohibiting export has shown to be somewhat precarious. The Botanical Department is at present examining into this question. For the improvement of agriculture, sugar canes have been imported from the Straits Settlements and Honolulu, and over eleven thousand plants distributed among the Chinese, and improved sugar mills have been introduced, while a wealthy and enterprising Chinese gentleman has established an experimental farm, in the conduct of which the Botanical Department is giving him assistance and advice.\n\n9. The Expenditure was for the year 1901, $326,668.73, of which $103,741.11 was chargeable to the Land Court and Public Works Extraordinary—charges that will soon cease. It may, therefore, be roughly taken that the normal expenditure of the Territory will be about $162,000. With the certain development of New Kowloon and the probable improvement of the pastoral capabilities of the hills, I am of opinion that within seven or eight years the Revenue and Expenditure of the New Territory will quadrate, and later on the Territory will materially assist in the General Revenue.\n\n10. So far no systematic geological examination has been made either of the mainland or of the large island of Lantao, but as a silver mine has been worked on the latter, it is possible that when the state of the revenue justifies the employment of a Geologist, minerals may be found in payable quantities, in which event the congestion of the agricultural population would be relieved and new conditions established that would increase prosperity. At present our most serious difficulties are armed robberies on shore and afloat, which, though steadily diminishing, are still of too frequent occurrence. They are the most common offences in the Southern provinces, and, so far as I can learn, the Provincial Authorities do not attempt to deal with such cases until some village is reported as being specially notorious as harbouring robbers, when, if the Authorities do not consider them too strong, a force is sent out and as many as possible arrested or the village destroyed. But at this moment there are on the Canton Delta two towns well known as being the headquarters of organized gangs that commit the piracies of the West River. As, however, they can muster over one thousand fighting men, the Canton Viceroy does not dare to interfere with them. Such habits and customs cannot be controlled at once without a much larger Police force than we have at present, but the Police have, by a judicious system of patrolling, materially reduced the number of those offences, and a fair proportion of the perpetrators have been made amenable and are undergoing punishment, while the people, who were at first disinclined to appeal to the Police, now show a readiness to come forward and give assistance in the work of detection.\n\n11. The education in the New Territory has up to the present been left in the hands of the village teachers; but a school is about to be established in the large village of Un Long in which English will be taught by a competent Chinese Master.\n\n12. On the whole I consider the development of the New Territory satisfactory. There have been some difficulties experienced by the Public Works Department in carrying out their operations, but they have been surmounted without friction with the inhabitants, and without extravagance. The Taipo Road has opened up a beautiful country round the shores of Mirs Bay, free from the fog that makes residence on the Peak so trying in the spring and early summer, and eight to ten degrees cooler than Hongkong. It is probable that in years to come country houses will be built in this district, and other developments take place, that will conduce to the comfort and well-being of the Colony.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\nGovernor, etc.",

        "content_text": "# VICTORIA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND JUBILEE ROAD. OPENING CEREMONY.\n\nOn Saturday afternoon the Victoria Memorial Hospital was formally opened by His Excellency the Governor, Sir Henry A. Blake, G.C.M.G., and the Jubilee Road handed over to the Government by Hon. Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., on behalf of the Jubilee Committee. The ceremony took place at the Hospital in Barker Road. Among those present were Lady Blake, Sir John Kennaway, Bart., Private Secretary; His Honour Sir William M. Goodman, Chief Justice, and Lady Goodman; Hon. Sir Henry S. Berkeley, Attorney-General, and Lady Berkeley; Mrs. May; Hon. Dr. J. M. Atkinson, Principal Civil Medical Officer, Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, C.M.G.; Hon. W. Chatham, Director of Public Works; Captain F. W. Lyons, Acting Captain Superintendent of Police; Dr. G. H. Bateson Wright, Mr. J. Dyer Ball, Mr. L. C. Rees, Mr. B. Brotherton Harker, Mr. J. R. Michael, Dr. E. A. R. Laing, Mr. H. W. Bird, Mr. Ho Fook, Mr. S. W. Tso, Mr. Ho Kom Tong, and Mr. Hately.\n\nPublic memorials of the gracious Lady Victoria may justly be described as the greatest Queen in history. I will go back to the commencement, when it had been resolved to worthily celebrate, in an enduring manner, this great occasion. Subscriptions were invited from the community in 1897 on the understanding that a Hospital for Women and Children and a Nursing Institute should be erected, and that the first section of a road to encircle the main portion of the island of Hongkong should be constructed. These works, I am glad to say, have now been completed, so far as the Hospital and the section of the road are concerned. Many difficulties, which could not have been foreseen by the Committee, have been encountered, necessarily delaying the work, but, as will be seen, they were overcome at length, and we now have the pleasure of recording their completion. The amount available from the sum subscribed, after defraying the cost of the local celebrations of the event, was $182,424.00, and this divided equally between the two projects, giving for each $91,212.\n\nI propose, for the sake of convenience, to deal separately with them, and will refer first to the Hospital. The building was finely decorated with flags, the decorations having been carried out by Leading Signalmen F. Ransted and W. Foster, of the *Tungur*, under the superintendence of Mr. J. Coyle of the Public Works Department.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor having taken up a position on the steps leading to the door of the Hospital,\n\nHon. Sir Paul Chater said: - Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, - The Committee formed for the purpose of carrying out for this Colony an adequate and suitable permanent memorial of the late Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, or such few of them as are left after a six years' interval, have invited your Excellency to meet them here to-day to take over, as head of the Government, this building and a new road recently constructed. The Committee was formed in 1897 to consider what form the memorial subscribed for by a loyal population should take, and how best to carry their wishes into effect, and now, in the closing months of 1903, having brought their labours to a satisfactory conclusion, they ask to be relieved of their responsibilities. After much discussion, it was agreed to have two memorials, one, in deference to the late Queen's well-known predilection for works of mercy, to take the form of a Hospital, and the other, to meet a widely-expressed wish, to be a carriage road to encircle the island. These works were to commemorate, in a lasting manner, the sixtieth anniversary of her late revered Majesty's glorious reign.\n\nAs the scheme for this commemoration originated during the administration of your Excellency's predecessor, Sir William Robinson, I think it will be both interesting and appropriate to briefly recapitulate the circumstances attending the inception of the plan and subsequent creation of these memorials.\n\nThe scheme originally provided for the erection of a building in the grounds of the Government Civil Hospital, and included a Nursing Institute, which was to form an adjunct of the staff quarters of that institution. Competitive designs were invited, and were in due course sent in by the local architects, but before any decision had been arrived at regarding these, a letter was received from the Principal Civil Medical Officer urging that the proposed Hospital should be erected at the Peak and suggesting that \"Craigieburn\" might be acquired for the purpose. This letter was considered by the Committee, and though the suggestion for the purchase of \"Craigieburn\" was not adopted, there was a consensus of opinion in favour of acquiring a site on the higher levels instead of erecting the building in the Civil Hospital compound. A resolution to the effect that a site not lower than Robinson Road should be selected was accordingly carried.\n\nSome difficulty was experienced by the Committee in finding a desirable site, but fortunately Barker Road was then under construction, and after examination of those sites available, it was decided to apply to the Government for the ground on which we are now assembled. You, Sir, readily consented to grant the site, and the Committee then concentrated its energies on securing the best building possible for the funds at its disposal. Owing to the greater cost of building on the high levels, and the necessity of providing quarters for the staff required, the Committee found that the funds were not sufficient to erect both the Hospital and the Nursing Institute as well. It became necessary, therefore, to refer the matter to the Government, and your Excellency, recognising the difficulty, kindly consented to recommend to the Secretary of State for the Colonies that an adjunct to the Government Civil Hospital be erected for a Nursing Institute. This sanction having been obtained, and the Hospital being now completed, it remains for the Government to carry out your Excellency's recommendation, and speaking for the Committee, I hope it will be done in good time.",

        "content_text": "# Extract from Hongkong Daily Press of 23rd November 1907\n\nOur own 80 placed before the Viceroy, but it is due to him to say that when they were presented to him he acquiesced with a readiness that did him honour. And in considering the custom that seems to us so inhumanly cruel and fraught with injustice, we ought not to forget that hardly a century has passed since cruelties as terrible were possible under laws, until at length our eyes were opened to the injustice and uselessness of the barbarous practices. (Applause). I wish that I could accept the assumption that the Improvement Trust has actually been founded. The scheme has gone home for the consideration of the Secretary of State, with my strong advice that it shall be adopted. (Applause). But great as is the importance of the structural improvement of Hongkong, there is a matter of greater and more pressing moment that I wish to bring forcibly before you in these last moments before I leave your shores. That is the pressing necessity of utilising the British concession that has been granted for a railway from Canton to the borders of our territory. (Applause). That concession has been granted to a British syndicate, and it is their duty to utilise it and supply the natural seaport terminus to the great arterial line in Hankow, lest possible developments be inimical to the interests of Hongkong (hear, hear). We have not built up our Empire by being laggards in the race for developments necessary for the expansion of the trade of the world, and letting \"I dare not\" wait upon \"I will\" has never conquered a position nor retained it for either men or nations.\n\nAnd now, ladies and gentlemen, I will touch upon a statement that has been reiterated many times during the term of my administration. That is that I am too pro-Chinese in my views. Well, I hardly know how to answer this. If it means that I have favoured the Chinese members of the community at the expense of the Europeans, I deny it most strenuously (applause), and this beautiful address in which Chinese and non-Chinese have joined supports my denial. What is the duty of the British Government, and what is the duty of His Majesty's representative in Crown Colonies, whose prosperity depends upon the common action of the best men among its population? Not to destroy social distinctions, nor to decrease the respect and consideration that ought to be the reward of the educated, the upright, the honest and successful man of every race, but to give equal protection to all, and to bring home the feeling that under the British flag, justice is pure and unpurchasable, and every man through all the grades, from the highest to the poorest coolie whom we meet with dull eye and patient industry toiling up from the sea to the Peak with his loads of sand or bricks, is free to think what he likes, to speak what he thinks without let or hindrance so long as he obeys the laws that have been made for securing the protection and comfort of the whole community. (Applause). This is the estimate that I have formed of my duty, and I have endeavoured to carry it out with a keen and abiding sense of my responsibility to my King, to this community, and to my own conscience. (Applause).\n\nAnd now that I am about to hand over the reins of government to my friend the Colonial Secretary, for whose industry, ability, and honesty of purpose I would gladly vouch were it necessary in a community to whom he is so long and so intimately known (Applause), I and my wife bid you good-bye with heartfelt wishes for your happiness and prosperity individually and collectively, and our earnest prayer that the dark cloud of plague that has hung over the Colony for ten long years may be dissipated by the efforts of the devoted workers engaged in combating its ravages, and that the great port of Hongkong may once more become as healthy as it is beautiful. Good-bye! (Loud applause). I will only add, ladies and gentlemen, that I wish I had seen the sun on the last day of my stay in Hongkong as Governor, but the sorrow and regret with which we leave it on so wet a day has its solace, and that is, that my friend, Mr. May, will enter upon his administration under the beneficent influence of a rainy day which will improve the vegetation, and I hope, replenish the reservoirs and providently save this Colony from the dangers, the difficulties and the troubles of a water famine like last year. (Loud and continued applause).\n\n## THE DISTRICT WATCHMEN\n\nThe company then dispersed, and proceeding to the entrance of the City Hall, H.E. addressed a body of the District Watchmen, some 80 strong, his remarks being interpreted in Chinese by Mr. Ho Fook.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said--District Watchmen, I determined to say a word of commendation to you before I left the Colony. I think it most creditable to the Chinese community of the Colony that, outside the regular police force, they have, by voluntary contributions, raised a special force of district watchmen for the purpose of assisting in the work of the police. I hear that you are over 80 strong at the present moment, and from the Registrar-General, who is one of the committee, I learn most excellent accounts of the manner in which you have done your work. Some of you have been highly commended, and during the past year several have received rewards. It is a useful thing to have a body of men like you, and probably in the course of time, some of you will be ready to go on from this District Watchmen Force into the regular Chinese police force of the Colony. I am very glad to have the opportunity of seeing you here to-day and saying \"good-bye\" to you. One last word. If you continue to do your duty faithfully, you may be always sure of that consideration and respect from your Chinese friends in the Colony and from the European residents that make life very pleasant to every man. I now say \"good-bye\" to you, and I hope that, in the future, you will continue to be worthy of the high commendation that I have heard of you from the gentlemen of the committee and from the Registrar-General to-day.\n\n## THE FAREWELL\n\nFrom the City Hall, His Excellency, Lady Blake, and Sir John Keane proceeded, in chairs under an escort of eight Indian constables in charge of Sergeant Abley, to Blake Pier, where a guard of honour of the Sherwood Foresters was drawn up and the band of the same regiment. Thousands of people flocked to the vicinity of the Pier to bid farewell to the Governor, and the Pier itself was crowded by very many prominent people in the Colony. The Governor's party, including Hon. F. H. May and Mrs. May, then boarded the launch `Victoria` (which flew the Hongkong flag and the Blue Ensign), and the farewell words having been spoken, they set off for the `Malta` amid rousing cheers from the crowd, the boom of cannon from the `Tamar`, the noise of numberless crackers (the figure was stated to be ten millions) let off on shore and on the craft in the Harbour, and the strains of \"Auld Lang Syne\" from the band. About a score of launches accompanied the Governor to the `Malta`. Upon landing at the gangway, the party were received by Captain Daniel, the commander. Many hundreds came aboard to shake hands for the last time with Sir Henry, and it was not until the last minute that the visitors took their leave. As the launches sailed away, they each circled round the liner and the passengers gave cheers for Sir Henry and Lady Blake, who stood upon the hurricane-deck. As the `Malta` started on her journey, another salute was fired from the `Tamar`.",

June Quarter, 1903.-(Received at Foreign Office, August 17.)\n\nHE Customs Returns for 1902 show a considerable expansion in all branches of Commercial trade with the exception of the transit trade with Yünnan, in which there was a decrease in 1902.\n\nThe decrease was largely due to the disturbed state of that province during a portion of the year.\n\nThe following is a summary of the figures:-\n\n  \n    Total trade\n    £28,118,000, an increase of £1,708,000\n  \n  \n    Imports\n    £8,552,000\n  \n  \n    Exports\n    £7,356,000\n  \n  \n    Coast trade\n    £932,000\n  \n  \n    Transit trade with Yunnan-\n    \n  \n  \n    To\n    £708,000, a decrease of £187,000\n  \n  \n    From\n    £349,000\n  \n\nFrance secured almost the entire benefit of the increase in imports, while the increase in exports was apparently exclusively due to larger shipments of rice, mostly to the northern provinces of China, where a succession of bad crops had caused great scarcity. The chief features of the trade with the mother country were a large increase inriages, arms, metals, rails, and machinery, and a heavy fall in textiles; and of the trade with foreign countries, a considerable increase in opium, oil, and gunny bags, and a decrease in yarn.\n\nThe total tonnage entered amounted to 1,119,500 tons, but, a change having been made in the method of compiling the Returns, I am unable to say how these figures compare with those for the year before. It is to be noted that British shipping shows a slight decrease and German a considerable increase.\n\nIt may be mentioned here that the imports into Singapore from French Indo-China declined from over 10,000,000 dollars in 1897 to under 5,000,000 dollars in 1901, being now confined almost entirely to articles intended for local consumption. The trade consists of goods for France and other countries which-apparently on account of subsidies to French shipping and Tariff Regulations requiring transport in French ships-it is cheaper to ship direct from Indo-China. The exports from Singapore, valued at somewhat over 2,500,000 dollars, seem to maintain their position.\n\nThe Laos country bordering the Mekong is said to be very rich in valuable timber. A certain amount of teak is already being obtained from that region for use in public works. Logs of the value of a few thousand dollars were floated down the Mekong in 1902, and it is expected that the value of the trade will amount to several hundred thousand dollars in the course of three or four years. It is noteworthy that the ironwood of Cochin China ranks first in the classification by the Paris authorities of the various woods now in use for street paving.\n\nThe following particulars of two plantations in Upper Tonquin may be of interest as illustrating the methods and results of French colonization in that country:-\n\nAt Tuyenquang a French planter has settled on his Concession a number of families brought up from the delta, letting the land to them on the metayer system. He provides buildings, stock, and also the necessaries of life till the first harvest, and the tenants contract to cultivate every year from 15 to 20 acres. During the first two years they repay the advances made to them, and subsequently give half the crop as rent for their buildings. In this way 500 acres have, in the course of two or three years, been brought under cultivation, and several hundred more are being broken up.\n\nIn the same neighbourhood a Concession of some 12,000 acres is owned by three Frenchmen, who live on the estate. They own 1,000 head of cattle, have planted 100,000 caoutchouc trees (also referred to as rubber plants in other parts, but here it is more specific), 10,000 coffee-trees, 5,000 rubber plants, 250 aniseed-trees, and are experimenting with tea, jute, and the rearing of silkworms.\n\nThere appears to be a large area in this region open to settlers. Tonquin, to the depth of 180 kilom. from the sea, is almost fully occupied, it being estimated that only about [2090 r--6]\n\nPage 337\n\n...\n\nPage 338\n\n is not present, hence not included.",

Your Petitioners submit that in order to effectually secure the object they have in view it is necessary directly to prohibit Chinese, other than servants, from occupying houses built in the Hill District, and further that, in imposing this limitation of residence, no hardship would be inflicted on the Chinese for hitherto they have shown no desire to occupy houses in that district and, as they are living here in their native climate, they do not suffer from the oppressive heat of the lower levels during the summer months as Europeans do. To show how pressing is the need amongst the European section of the community for securing dwellings at the Peak, your Petitioners may mention that the rent of houses there is on the average nearly treble that which was paid ten years ago and this notwithstanding the fact that the number of houses has very greatly increased in the interval.\n\n7. The extension of the principle of Ordinance 16 of 1888 for which your Petitioners ask is not very great and their request for this reservation is made solely out of regard for the welfare of those who belong to non-tropical countries and who are now compelled to live in this enervating climate for the best part of their lives. It was the European section of the community that opened up and developed the Hill District. They were impelled to do so by considerations of health alone for the locality is more expensive and less convenient to live in than the lower levels. The number of reasonably available sites for houses in the Peak District is limited. Already the large majority have been built upon and very few remain for additional houses. Your Petitioners desire that this small proportion of Hongkong shall be reserved as a place of abode for those who cannot dwell in equal well-being elsewhere upon the Island, and they submit it is for the advantage of a community as a whole that each section of it should live in the environment to which it is best adapted.\n\n8. In conclusion, your Petitioners submit that the future welfare of this Colony, the welfare, that is, of its inhabitants as a whole, and its consequent value to the Empire, depends to a very large extent on the well-being of the European section of the community whose health it is therefore essential to preserve, and that every year conditions render it more and more important that this section should be able to reside in a district where its members can live under the most favourable conditions possible and where the rising generation may spend their childhood amidst the healthiest obtainable surroundings.\n\nYour Petitioners therefore humbly pray that your Excellency may be pleased to consider favourably their request and to take prompt steps to preserve the Hill District as a residential quarter for the non-Chinese residents of the community.\n\nAnd your Petitioners will ever pray, etc.\n\nDated 22nd day of February, 1904.\n\nJ.

        "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]",

Things appeared, however, to be working smoothly. I had no complaints against the water police either from the Harbour Master or other authorities from the public, while the casualties to the launches seemed fewer than there were under Map.

Lyons was new to the place and all too busy to undertake any fresh duties; the previous arrangement continued up to the time of my departure, and Cass.

        "content_text": "## 518 \n\n2 \n\nThe policy of the Yunnan Government has been to reduce to the lowest point even the pretence of a military force. The few soldiers who existed in West Yunnan declined to leave their homes, and the forces, as finally constituted, were made up of all the beggars, loafers, and \"dead-beats\" off the streets, none of whom had the smallest idea of any sort of discipline, or of even how to fire off a rifle. Straggling anyhow along the road in groups of five or six, laden with pumpkins, corn, and vegetables which they had purloined, these dirty rascals resembled votaries of Ceres rather than of Mars. Proclamations were put out that \"a great army is passing, but not even the chickens need be frightened.\" In point of fact, the chickens all along the route had the liveliest cause for alarm, and if the soldiers slay as many lamas as they have stolen chickens, the rebellion will very speedily be suppressed. The provincial Ti-t'ai, or Commander-in-chief, at Ta Li had only thirty or forty men, most of whom flatly declined to budge, and his Excellency had to start for the wars at the head of a motley crowd or verminous ragamuffins, driven off the streets into his yamên.\n\nThe appearance and behaviour of the detachment, nominally of 500 men sent down from Yunnan-fu, was no better. The original detachment of some 700 men which accompanied the Wei Hsi Sub-Prefect to Atentse in June was well armed with an old type of Mauser; but the missionaries at Tseku report that discipline was conspicuous by its absence, and, as Mr. Forrest puts it, the whole affair became a \"squeezing\" and a looting expedition from the start.\n\nOwing to the practice of seizing transport animals without payment, and of pillaging the bazaars, trade is almost at a standstill, even in this district, while at and near Wei Hsi the inhabitants have fled into the mountains, removing their beasts and stores of grain. Thus famine is threatened in addition to other miseries.\n\nThe total force now collected near Wei Hsi, including the original Atentse detachment, is some 2,500 men. Every one—and no one more vigorously than the Prefect of Ta Li—denounces their total want of discipline, and ascribes to their misconduct the troubles which have taken place. For the scandalous condition of the forces the Governor-General at Yunnan-fu is most certainly responsible, as he had received repeated and ample warning of the approach of trouble from his own officials and from the French missionaries.\n\nWhen the Wei Hsi Sub-Prefect reached Atentse early in May, he began by treacherously beheading the Chief Thibetan of the place. This incident seems to have been far more important than I had previously reported. The executed Headman is said by the French to have been meditating rebellion, but the Chinese traders from Atentse and Wei Hsi declare that this was not true. However this may be, this treacherous execution, though, as it is reported, authorized by a secret warrant from Yunnan-fu, had a most unhappy effect, and was not followed up by vigorous action on the part of the Chinese, who, on the contrary, sat down at Atentse and made no further political move.\n\nThe unfortunate chief who was thus summarily put out of the world was the brother of one of the leading lamas of Atentse, and a relative by marriage of one of the leaders of the Batang sedition. After the execution the Atentse lamas dispersed in various directions to raise their dependents, and stir up the other lamaseries in the neighbourhood. The Chinese seem to have been too busy in extorting money to pay attention to what was going on, or to take measures to keep open their communications. The wife of the murdered Chief took a leading part in fomenting the revolt, which broke out in the middle of July, as soon as the barley harvest had been gathered in. The Chinese troops appear to have made little or no resistance, and were driven in, it is said, with some slaughter, to the little town of Atentse, where they were surrounded and remained cut off for over six weeks, when the bulk of them, together, it is reported, with the Wei Hsi Sub-Prefect, escaped by mountain tracks to Wei Hsi, eight stages to the south. News of their escape only reached Ta Li on the 7th.\n\nIt seems to me that their conduct, or their misconduct, requires more explanation than the Chinese Government is ever likely to get. The insurgent lamas in Yunnan do not probably number more than 4,000 or 5,000.\n\n## Events on the Mekong; murder of Europeans; position of the Li Chiang Prefect\n\nAt the same time that Atentse was surrounded, the roads along the Mekong, between Wei Hsi and the Mission at Tseku, were destroyed. As these roads are but narrow tracks along precipices, in some places carried past the cliffs on brackets of wood, their total destruction was an easy matter.\n\nThe Prefect of Li Chiang, Li Hsing Sheng, who had established himself at Wei Hsi since the departure of his subordinate, the Sub-Prefect of Wei Hsi, for Atentse, \n3 \n\naddressed a series of telegraphic reports to Yünnan-fu, but it now appears that these reports were mainly based on mendacious statements of villagers or frightened refugees. The country north of Yetehe was wholly cut off from about the 18th July to the end of August. The worthy Prefect also spoke of his \"cavalry\" and his \"batteries,\" but there was no cavalry, no battery, no infantry. The Prefect had been solemnly promised a force of 500 well-armed troops from Yunnan-fu in May, and it was on the strength of this that he had sent all his available forces and arms forward to Atentse, but the Viceroy at Yunnan had played him false, and the unlucky Prefect was left almost entirely alone and without support at Wei Hsi till nearly the end of August, and then he was provided, as I have described above, with a rabble consisting of the scum of the thieves and loafers of West Yünnan. Prefect Li is the man on whom the brunt of the responsibility will fall, but he is really far less to blame than the Viceroy, who is guilty of gross negligence and misgovernment, or the Wei Hsi Sub-Prefect, who is guilty of systematic misconduct. The Prefect is an honest man, who has always, during a long and hitherto successful administration of a difficult post, had a definite policy of asserting Chinese authority over the lamas. But he has committed serious errors of judgment. He trusted his superiors at Yunnan-fu, and his subordinates at Wei Hsi, and in both cases was deceived. He greatly overrated the efficiency of his troops and underrated the strength of the lamas and their adherents. None of the French missionaries believe for a moment that Prefect Li would have willingly permitted or abetted the murder of Europeans, and in this opinion I concur.\n\nThe lamas having collected their barley and their dependents, and having cut off the troops at Atentse, proceeded to descend to the Mekong and attack the large French mission station at Tseku. The fathers, deceived by several of the local Headmen, who were secretly in the interests of the lamas, had been lulled into a feeling of false security. A guard of forty soldiers with rifles had been provided, but had been withdrawn to Atentse early in July by the Wei Hsi Sub-Prefect. It was only on the 17th July that the fathers became seriously alarmed, and urged Mr. Forrest, their English guest, to depart. Mr. Forrest refused, and determined to stand by them. All the missionaries except the aged Father Dubernard and Father Bourdonné (who appears quite to have lost his presence of mind at the last) were absent at an out-station when the crisis came. Those two missionaries and Mr. Forrest, with the native Christians, escaped on the night of the 19th, only two or three hours before the lamas appeared and destroyed the mission house.\n\nIf the refugees and made the best use of their legs, as Mr. Forrest urged them to do, they would all have escaped south along the right bank of the Mekong, but they stopped to rest, to cook rice, to weep over the destruction of their homes, to negotiate with treacherous Headmen, and so lost twelve hours of precious time. The country south of Tseku consists of a series of valleys or bays in the hills, each cut off north and south by high sharp ridges, and closed to the west by lofty precipices, and to the east by the roaring flood of the Mekong. The lamas, knowing the mountain tracks, got ahead of the refugees and occupied a ridge, thus hemming them into a valley some 4 miles by 1 to 2 broad. In the rush which followed Mr. Forrest became separated from the rest. His servant bolted, and he was left alone with his rifle and some cartridges. For seven days he was tracked and hunted like a wild beast by the lamas; he had to throw away his boots to prevent being tracked, and with the exception of a few ears of corn, he was entirely without food. The lamas patrolled the crest of the valley with dogs, and lit bonfires at night, which made escape impossible until some of them finally gave up the search, and Mr. Forrest was rescued from his perilous position by the pluck and skill of some Lisu tribesmen. Later he was succoured by the friendly Headman of Yetehe, further down the Mekong. At last he arrived at Wei Hsi, 90 miles south of Tseku, twenty-one days after his flight. The worthy Prefect did all he could to alleviate his sufferings, and supplied him with money, food, clothing, and escort.\n\nPère Dubernard, who seems to have been unwilling to survive the destruction of the Mission, where he had lived for forty years, was, it is reported, brutally murdered and decapitated, while it is said that Père Bourdonné met a like fate, but there is no trustworthy eye-witness of the murder, and the only reason for believing that the fathers are dead is the extreme improbability that they can be alive.\n\nThe bitter hostility of the lamas against the French missionaries is easy of explanation. Directly any disturbance arose in the country, it was certain it would take an anti-missionary direction. The existence of the Mission, the lives led by the missionaries, and the great influence which they had gained in the country-side all...",

The Chamber, realizing the immense danger to foreign trade if the currency is not regulated, venture to commend the question generally to the earnest attention of the Ministers, and especially to the Representatives of the great trading nations.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nM. le Consul-Général,\n\n(Signed) WILLIAM D. LITTLE, Chairman.\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nDoyen of Consular Body to Senior Consul.\n\nPékin, le 28 Septembre, 1905.\n\nPAR votre lettre du 23 Août vous m'avez envoyé une lettre du Président de la \"Shanghae General Chamber of Commerce\" du 21 Août, concernant la frappe démesurée de la monnaie de cuivre.\n\nJe n'ai pas manqué de soumettre cette lettre de Mr. Little à mes honorables collègues, mais par suite d'objections de part et d'autre une démarche collective ou identique du Corps Diplomatique dans le sens désiré par la Chambre de Commerce s'est trouvée être impossible.\n\nPar contre, plusieurs des Ministres ont jugé bon de faire des représentations en leur propre nom au Gouvernement Chinois, qui a mis la question à l'étude.

O.\n\n191\n\n[December 2.\n\nSECTION\n\n2 JAN 06 639\n\nSir E. Satow to the Marquess of Lansdowne. (Received December 2.)\n\n(No. 339.)\n\nMy Lord,\n\nPeking, October 16, 1905.\n\nI HAVE the honour to inclose, for your Lordship's information, copies of a correspondence with the Wai-wu Pu, referring to the landing of a party from His Majesty's ship \"Iphigenia\" in the British Concession at Amoy during a riot on the 30th August last.\n\nIn their letter of the 11th October the Wai-wu Pu drew attention to this landing of sailors in no very courteous terms, and requested me to forbid any repetition of the proceeding at any place in China without the permission of the Chinese Government. I replied on the 13th October stating the facts, which amply justified the action of His Majesty's Consul and the Captain of the \"Iphigenia,\" pointing out that instead of the objection lodged by the Wai-wu Pu our authorities deserved the thanks of the Chinese Government for averting a disaster, and declaring that under similar circumstances at any Treaty port similar action will be taken by British Consuls and British naval authorities for the due protection of British life and property.\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) ERNEST SATOW.\n\n## Inclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nPrince Ching to Sir E. Satow.\n\nPeking, October 11, 1905.\n\nON the 30th August last a strike took place at Amoy, in consequence of which some damage was done to the Customs-house. While the local civil and military officials lost no time in proceeding to the Customs-house to restore order, a British man-of-war, lying at anchor at Amoy, suddenly landed sixty men and sent them to the Customs (also). The Tartar General at Foochow telegraphed this news to this Board at the time. The whole question has now been settled by Delegates of the Tartar General, and the normal conditions of peace and order have been restored. But the action of landing men from the British man-of-war gave rise to great disquietude and surprise in the minds of the people. Fortunately, by the energetic efforts of the Chinese authorities order was restored and the people admonished, so no disturbance broke out; but I must request your Excellency to communicate with all officers commanding British men-of-war to the effect that in future they should on no account take it upon themselves to land men at any place without the express consent of China, lest out of some misconception a troublesome situation should ensue.\n\nYour Highness,\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nSir E. Satow to Prince Ch'ing.\n\nPeking, October 13, 1905.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Highness' letter of the 11th October in regard to the recent riot at Amoy, in which it is stated that the landing of a party of sixty men from one of His Majesty's ships of war created a general feeling of alarm, and I am requested to warn the British naval authorities that they must not in future presume to land men under any circumstances at any place without the express permission of the Chinese Government.\n\nAccording to reports received from His Majesty's Consul at Amoy the facts are as follows:—",

In the case of a few of the largest and most important, the inverts are lined with ashlar masonry, 10 inches in depth, set and grouted in cement mortar.\n\nThe object of the training work originally carried out was to protect property from the serious damage caused by heavy rainstorms, which frequently produced landalips and washed down large boulders in the case of the untrained channels. It was also found useful for enabling building lots to be laid out with a greater degree of regularity than was otherwise possible. During the past 6 or 7 years however the chief object of the work has been to remove the breeding-places of the anopheles mosquito and many channels which had hitherto been allowed to remain in their natural condition have now been trained for that purpose only.\n\n2nd.

At present to \n\nreach this place they have to go by launch through Lyemoon Pass \n\nand the sea is often very rough. The fare is about 60 cents \n\nfor the trip. When the Railway is open, they will travel by rail to Taipo and go by launch from there avoiding the rough sea met with East of Iyemoon. Very much more than 14 cents a mile could \n\nbe charged to passengers booking through to Sha U Ching, but I would not advise this unless the Railway care to start running \n\nthe launch. I do not think the ordinary passenger travelling \n\nto Taipo would pay more than this amount. \n\nFrom this you will see that the rates per mile for the 3rd. class passenger must vary according to the way in which there is competition with the steamers and I will endeavour to prove that \n\nwith careful adjustment of rates a fair profit can be made by dividing up the gross earnings of each class by mileage without going to the extreme of making it a sine qua non that the earnings \n\nbe divided in the ratio of the capital cost. \n\n* \n\nThe cost of running this section will be expensive and I \n\ndo not want to take too sanguine a view now when I am estimating \n\nthe profits. \n\nSir Matthew Nathan has made a note that an endeavour should \n\nbe made to get the Chinese to agree to run both sections as one line under a joint board of management. This of course would \n\nbe the best plan under ordinary circumstances and every effort \n\nmust be put forward to try and get such a scheme agreed upon by \n\nthe Chinese. \n\nIt will be necessary to have a Traffic Manager, a Chief Engineer and an Auditor and if the pay of these officers and their \n\noffice establishment can be divided up over 120 miles instead of \n\nover 20, the working expenses per mile would be greatly reduced. \n\nAll the same it is necessary to look at it from a Chinese point \n\nof view. It would pay the Chinese much better and suit the \n\ngeneral feeling in the country more if the Chinese section of the \n\nKowloon Canton Railway were worked as a branch of the Canton \n\nHankow Railway. \n\nThis",

It is in fact rather a system of payment by piece-work than a contract. As the nature of the work varies constantly (rock being met with in the top heading when there was none in the bottom heading and so on) and as these persons, whether European or Chinese, who accept this piece-work system are working men with no capital, not only is frequent (weekly) payment necessary in order that they may pay their men, but if any unexpected obstacle is met with, the terms must be relaxed for the 'Contractor' could not afford the loss.\n\nThe Chief Resident Engineer therefore demanded a freer hand in making these piece-work bargains (misnamed \"Contracts\") and complained that the system of audit was such as to tie his hands and over-burden him with book work. He desired to be able to give bonuses for accelerated progress, to relax conditions and increase payment if necessary without reference.\n\nHe urged that Audit rules applicable to works from Revenue were not applicable to works from Capital Account and that in India wholly different rules were made in the one case from those which governed the other.\n\nThe Hon. Director of Public Works suggested that the Chief Resident Engineer should name the sum agreed upon for the piece-work and that if he desired any increase of the payment, a recommendation to that effect approved by the Governor would suffice for the Auditor's requirements.\n\nI agreed that any means by which unnecessary clerical work could be reduced was highly desirable, especially for instance that the signature (over a certificate) of a responsible officer at the foot of a pay roll of labourers was sufficient instead of requiring the mark of each illiterate.\n\nI look indeed on the latter system as an inducement to, instead of a check on, a fraudulent person. It was agreed to refer this point to the Hon. Treasurer and the Local Auditor for report as to what means might be adopted to meet Mr. Ives's requirements and reduce accounting work. They will be good enough to consult with him.\n\nOn the more general question",

If this is approved by His Majesty's Minister, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha will be responsible for its fulfilment, and for the breach will be liable for damages.\n\nShould this form not be approved, and the original form consequently remain in force, the Council can call upon the Nippon Yusen Kaisha to pay the dues leviable upon your steamers (as stated in the Land Regulations and Licence contract) and also any sum assessed by me as damages, all of which payments the lessees may recover from your Company.\n\nThis is how the matter stands at present, and you will see, therefore, that it is impossible for the Municipal Council to accept your offer to pay to them the same duty as that paid by the lessees of the frontage in question, since this frontage has already been leased by the Council to those lessees for their exclusive use on the conditions stated in the Bund frontage licence, by the terms of which both parties to the contract are compelled to abide.\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) E. C. WERNER.\n\n## Consul Werner to “Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation.”\n\nKiukiang, March 1, 1907.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th ultimo relative to the question of the use by your steamers of a hulk moored off the British Concession at this port, usually known as \"MacBains' hulk.”\n\nOn the 1st January of this year a new King's Regulation came into force with regard to this Concession. Before this, the Municipal Council were in the habit of levying a fee (the amount of which was fixed at each annual meeting) on the connection placed between a hulk moored in the river and the Concession Bund. Under the new Regulation the British Government authorizes the land-renters to issue licences to moor hulks opposite the portion of Bund frontage specified in the licences. The terms of these licences are drawn up by the Municipal Council in conformity with the wishes of land-renters, as expressed at the meeting, and are subject to the approval of His Britannic Majesty's Consul.\n\nBy these licences a certain number of feet of Bund frontage at so much per linear foot is assigned to an applicant by vote, and he then has the right to moor his hulk opposite that portion and connect it with the shore.\n\nAt the annual meeting on the 30th January last, 500 feet at the west end of the Bund were allotted by vote to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha. Before the vote was taken, an understanding was arrived at by the meeting as to the conditions under which the frontages should be leased (i.e., the conditions to be embodied in the licence), and it was decided that only the steamers under the management of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha should be admitted under the Japanese licence. This was done because it was naturally considered that British interests suffered through the competition of foreign lines subsidized by their Governments.\n\nIn clause 2 of the licence form adopted by us under the new King's Regulation, provision is made by which, on certain conditions and payment, occasional extra steamers (such as chartered steamers or steamers temporarily taking the place of those named in the licence) may use the frontage, but this clause was adopted on the understanding that it would not admit a whole line of steamers regularly running, belonging to other owners, flying a different flag, and competing with the British lines trading at this port. Notice was accordingly given to the agent of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, and through him to your Company, that the steamers of the \"Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation\" could no longer make use of MacBains' hulk. In spite of this, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha in Shanghae informed their agent at this port that you intended to use the hulk without their consent, and on the arrival of your steamer, the \"Li Fong,\" on the 10th ultimo, the captain brought the steamer alongside the hulk and refused to leave, in spite of the protest of the agent of the Nippon Kaisha and myself, who accompanied him at his request.\n\nThis unwarranted and forceful breach of the terms of the licence rendered the Nippon Yusen Kaisha liable to the Municipal Council for breach of the agreement, and the matter having been referred to me, I reported it to His Majesty's Minister at Peking, in whose hands it now is.\n\nI may inform you that, in order to carry out the wishes of the land-renters, the Municipal Council has adopted a wording of clause 2 of the licence form by which...\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\n\"Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation\" to French Consul-General at Shanghae,\n\nM. le Consul-Général,\n\nShanghai, le 7 Mars, 1907.\n\nNOUS avons eu l'honneur de vous communiquer, par notre lettre du 25 Février dernier, la lettre que nous avons adressée à Mr. E. C. Werner, Consul-Général d'Angleterre et Président du Conseil Municipal de Kiukiang.\n\nIl ressortait des explications qui avaient été fournies à M. le Ministre de France à Pékin par le Ministre d'Angleterre, explications dont vous avez bien voulu nous donner communication par votre lettre du 24 Février, 1907, que le Conseil Municipal de Kiukiang ne pouvait avoir en vue de causer quelque vexation à notre Compagnie, et que la question se réduisait en somme pour la Municipalité de Kiukiang à une simple question de préjudice financier.\n\nNous conformant à l'avis que vous avez bien voulu nous donner, nous écrivîmes immédiatement à Mr. E. C. Werner, offrant de payer à la Municipalité de Kiukiang, pour l'utilisation commune du frontage alloué à la Compagnie Japonaise avec laquelle nous avons fait un Accord, une taxe égale à celle que la dite Compagnie payait elle-même, et cela à partir du 1 Janvier, 1907. La Municipalité de Kiukiang devant recevoir, de ce fait, pour le dit frontage, une double taxe, elle ne pouvait plus arguer d'un préjudice financier qui lui était causé, et il nous semblait que notre proposition ne pût qu'être acceptée.\n\nNous avons l'honneur de vous remettre sous ce pli copie de la réponse qui vient de nous être faite par Mr. E. C. Werner, lettre datée de Kiukiang 1 Mars, 1907, qui oppose à notre proposition et à notre très légitime demande un refus catégorique.\n\nAinsi que vous nous l'avez très justement écrit le 24 Février dernier, ce refus prouve, d'une façon indubitable pour tout le monde, le mauvais vouloir de Mr. E. C. Werner.\n\nCe mauvais vouloir est d'ailleurs très explicitement avoué dans la lettre de Mr. E. C. Werner, et nous n'en voulons pour preuve que le prétexte (nous n'osons dire la raison) invoqué, et que nous trouvons dans le passage suivant de la lettre en question\n\n\"Ceci a été fait parce qu'il a été naturellement considéré que les intérêts Britanniques souffraient de la concurrence des lignes étrangères subventionnées par leurs Gouvernements.”\n\nEt, plus loin:-\n\n\"Je dois vous informer que, en vue de mettre à exécution les désirs de contribuables, le Conseil Municipal a adopté une rédaction de la clause de la licence, par laquelle vos navires seront absolument exclus,\"\n\nEn ce qui concerne le premier de ces paragraphes, nous devons dire que le prétexte invoqué ne résiste pas à l'examen. En effet, la Compagnie Japonaise que le Consul d'Angleterre a autorisé à accoster est elle-même très largement subventionnée par son Gouvernement, tout le monde le sait, et sa concurrence est considérablement...",

After crossing the Namti bridge, the rails bifurcate, one pair running straight ahead to the west of the shed to form a customs siding.

Behind the station buildings, now complete, are the temporary store-houses of a French provision dealer, and these premises, I understand, will also shortly be available for customs purposes. In short, the present intention of the Chinese Customs Service is to conduct operations at Hok'ou, in Yunnan territory, and by no means at Phomoi, 6 miles or more on the French side of the frontier.\n\nThe Customs staff have, as it happens, already taken possession of their new examination shed; for, on the 24th March last, their offices were accidentally burnt down and the opportunity was welcomed to move into the shed.

But it is also assumed that one month in six will be sufficient. I am not aware on what facts this calculation has been based, nor can I say whether it will be sufficient. I have no doubt that appeals will increase in number, and I do not know what provisions it is contemplated to make if the month is insufficient for hearing all the appeals which are set down. The month will not provide more than 12 working days, which will allow for 3 or perhaps 4 appeals, but not more.\n\n## Question \nThe following statistics bear upon this question:\n\n| Date Began | Duration (days) |\n| --- | --- |\n| June 29th | 11 |\n| July 29th | 3 |\n| August 4th | 4 |\n| August 18th | 6 |\n| August 27th | 2 |\n| September 9th | 8 |\n\nOn June 29th, I began a case which lasted 11 days; and the appeal to the Full Court, which began on August 3rd, lasted 5.4 days. \nIn every one of these an appeal is possible, and I understand that in the three long ones the cases have gone home for advice as to whether there should be an appeal.

        "content_text": "4\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nMr. G. J. Marshall to Messrs. Porteous Tyler and Rowe.\n\nMy dear Mr. Porteous Tyler and Rowe,\n\nKanchow, October 7, 1907. YOU will have heard by wire of the riot here. I don't know where to begin or how to end in writing you, and I know you will be longing for news from Kanchow. You are, we know, praying for us, and we so need your prayers at this time; pray on. On Thursday at 3 o'clock A.M., Shu-Hsieh-teh, the Roman Catholic priest in charge here, came to see me. I was awake, and got up to see what the dogs were barking so much about, and found Mr. Shu in a very excited state. He told me that Kiang Sheng-fu of Ta-O-Li had been killed and the place burned (you know Ta-O-Li is the Roman Catholic village, about half way between Nan-Kang and Tang-Kiang), and that there was sure to be great trouble. There were two small officials and two or three soldiers killed. An Sheng-fu escaped and got to the city about 8 A.M. I do not know how many Roman Catholic converts have been killed; over 100 are reported killed, but I think that is exaggerated. Thursday, at daylight, 200 or 300 Roman Catholic converts, and perhaps a lot of bad characters, entered the city. The Roman Catholic premises were just full of men, women, and children. Their converts must have come from all directions, and soldiers were guarding their doors and a crowd collecting. By noon the crowd began to shout and clap their hands and throw stones, &c. At about 1 o'clock they broke in and began to plunder, and at 2 o'clock the place was in flames. Su Tel-Ren and I kept our door wide open all day, and invited all who came in to sit down and not stand about the door and gather a crowd. Many of our people came and went, and all said do not be afraid, there will be no trouble here; and all the people seemed friendly. When I saw the roof of the Roman Catholic place fall in I thought it was time to get ready to escape, if necessary, so I told the Halls and Mrs. Marshall, and we got ladders ready to climb the wall into the neighbours joining the school, and there Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Marshall and a lot of Chinese sat under the tree waiting. About 4:30 o'clock the Hsien came and wanted us to go to the yamên. I told him we preferred to go to the Dao-Tai Yamên, and he was pleased, but never offered his chair for the ladies, nor did he send his men for bearers, so I sent for bearers, and when they came I escorted Mrs. Marshall to the yamên with a host of women and children. We passed the Roman Catholic place, and through Ri Ja-li the crowds were terrible, and we had to go slowly, but they opened the way for us, and no one seemed to want to hurt us. The Hsien did not even send one of his men to escort us. After Mrs. Marshall got to the yamên we sent the chair back for Mrs. Hall. The Roman Catholic priests, I think five in number, were also here, so at dark the Dai-Tai sent us to the Fu Yamên; we found Mrs. Home there. You may be sure we were all tired, but not able or ready to sleep. The Chi-Fu was exceedingly kind (he is the nicest Chinese official I have met). He spoke of sending us all away that night, so at midnight Mr. Hall and I, with a few Chinese, went to our place to get some necessary things for the journey; and if we only had expected a riot the next day, I assure you I would not have stopped till I had cleared our place of everything that could well be carried away.\n\nWe got the friends off at about noon the next day (Friday). Mr. Home and I returned to the West Gate, the people on the street still seemed friendly. I called a small chair and went over to our place, and I saw by the looks of a few Lu-Lans who were there that they were not gathered for any good purpose, so I went at once to the Dao-Tai and told him the place needed protection. He said he had (Fen-Fu) commanded the officials to look after our place. I had not been here long till word came the crowd had started to loot our place. You can imagine my feelings better than I can tell you. I comforted my heart that God was in and above all and decided to remain here. The Chinese begged me not to go to the chapel. The looting at the West Gate began perhaps an hour later than at the East Gate. There was not one person at our place from any of the yamêns to keep the crowd away. I believe if there were a few men at our place they could have protected it. There is not a door or window or bit of furniture or a book left, all swept away, the school is a complete ruin, the walls of the chapel and our house, and the roofs are in good condition. Oh the West Gate is such a ruin, the house will have to be rebuilt, more than half of the roof is gone, the other half hanging, all the wooden partitions have been carried away, and some of the posts that support the roof badly damaged and some taken away. The women's quarters and the place where the school was is very badly wrecked.\n\n5\n\nThe chapel roof and walls are all right, there is not one door left. Hu, the rice shop; Fu, the former barber; Chong, the medicine shop; Ny, the butcher and rice shop; Mrs. Chong, the cloth shop; and Fu-Shao-Gi have been looted and lost their all.\n\nThe Chen-Tai came out and wounded four men and Fu-Shao-Gis, who were looting (two have since died), and this put a stop to the looting. He would have opened fire on them, if the Dao-Tai was willing. The Dao-Tai was afraid it would cause further trouble and he had not sufficient soldiers to protect his yamên. The next day early the Dao-Tai put up Proclamations all over the city that any one attempting to cause any trouble would be killed on the spot, and all has been very very quiet since. The four men who were wounded at Fu-Shao-Gis are Feng-cheng-Hsien men from the Carpenter Street, and men who were arrested with the West Gate things the day of the riot are all Kan-chow men, Lu-Lans. They have been terribly punished and will likely be executed or die in gaol. One Kan-chow man was caught last Friday with a few things (of little value to us now) from the East Gate. He was also punished. So far as I know and have heard, the looting of our place was done mostly by the Lu-Lans and the Feng-Cheng carpenters. Feng-Shan was burned the day after our places, the old watchman saved twelve tables and Mr. Powis' bed. Nan-Kang, Tang-Kiang, Feng-Kang, Hueng-shih-tsing, and a large number of the country Christians and inquirers have been looted, and in some cases burned. Sin-Feng and Long-Nan and La-Ti were safe the last we heard. We thank God for all. There are about thirty of us here in the Dao-Tai Yamên.\n\nHis comfort and care, and I am specially thankful that there has been so little murmuring. One cannot but ask, What shall the harvest be of all this suffering and loss? May it be a harvest of souls being saved and spiritual blessing to us all! My heart aches when I think of all the time that has been spent in this city and district and on Feng-Shan buildings, and now they are ruined. My earthly belongings were but few, I think they will be less in the future, why we seek to lay up treasure in Heaven.\n\nYou will be glad to know Mr. Home seems comforted and is well. We have but little spare or quiet time these days and am sorry we have not been able to write you all,\n\nSoldiers are arriving almost every day and 1,200 are expected to-day from the capital; when they come the Dao-Tai is going out to Tao-Ti and Tang-Kiang to deal with the Boxers there, he means business, I think. We hear orders have come from Peking to exterminate the Boxers and rioters. I am going to the East Gate this morning with a few Chinese to clean up broken glass and begin a few necessary repairs. We hope Mr. and Mrs. Tyler be along soon, they will be much needed here.\n\nWith every good wish to you all. \"Let not your heart be troubled.\"\n\nYours in Christ,\n\n(Signed) GEO. J. MARSHALL.\n\nP.S.--Please send to Shanghae.\n\n(Extract.)\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nRev. W. S. Home to Mr. Mills.\n\nChina Inland Mission, Kanchow, November 6, 1907. YOU will be glad to learn that Mr. Marshall and myself have just returned from the country this morning. All has been satisfactorily arranged. We find that sixty-three families have suffered in all; an indemnity of 13,503 dollars is to be paid to them, which is a very moderate sum for so many sufferers. Some have lost heavily. The Taotai Keung-or, rather, Judge-is still in the Nankang district; he is doing all in his power to restore order in a wise and permanent way. He is just the man for this crisis.\n\nHe has looked after our interest, and we are very thankful to him for the speedy and satisfactory settlement of our affairs. Some of that money is to be paid in a few days and the balance shortly. We are so thankful for settlement; this sets us free for reconstruction of the ruins.\n\nHope Mr. and Mrs. Tyler may soon be here, and also Mr. Rowe. The Meikles also may come along any time. It must be a comfort to them that their place has escaped. We have a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Seiple; they are safe, although they have gone through a great storm of rumours.\n\n24",

        "content_text": "14\n\nplotting (with British subjects), not only is a breach of China's laws committed, but the dignity of the British flag is also affected. I must therefore request that the practice be entirely done away with so as to stop abuses,\n\nI have now examined in detail the records of last year's \"Sainam\" piracy case. Over ten of the pirates concerned have been arrested, and also Liang A-chiu, the actual murderer of Dr. MacDonald, and all have been executed. Two of the rifles lost by the steamer have also been recovered and returned. Thus pirates guilty of robbery have been punished, those who injured human beings have paid the penalty with their lives, while of the booty lost rifles have been recovered. According to Treaty if the local officials do all in their power to arrest the offenders and recover the booty, there is no ground for giving compensation. In view, however, of the Admiral's statement that Dr. MacDonald, after spending over twenty years in China doing good, had been suddenly murdered, leaving behind a wife and children without means, I have been moved to compassion, and, having in view the friendliness of China and Great Britain, specially consent to pay a compassionate allowance for the death of Dr. MacDonald as evidence of commiseration.\n\nI think the above course of action will convince you and his Excellency the Admiral of my exceptional friendliness.\n\nCompliments.\n\nSir,\n\nInclosure 13 in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Mansfield to Admiral Sir A. Moore.\n\nCanton, November 28, 1907.\n\nI HAVE the honour to inclose translation of a despatch received last night from Viceroy Chang, which is a reply to your official of the 23rd instant.\n\nIt appears thoroughly unsatisfactory in every way, merely repeating the arguments advanced by him and by his predecessors over and over again. I may mention that when I first claimed compensation on account of the \"Sainam\" piracy, Viceroy Ts'en's Secretary in conversation stated that they were willing to direct the Benevolent Societies to provide a few thousand dollars as a compassionate allowance to Mrs. MacDonald, but when I informed him that the Secretary of State had estimated her indemnity at 6,000l., and that other claims had to be met, he declined to discuss the matter further.\n\nI have telegraphed the gist of the Viceroy's despatch to Sir J. Jordan, and have the honour to inclose copy of the telegram. This deals in part with the question of the Wai-wu Pu's reference to two vessels under Customs control, which form the subject of your telegram just received. The only previous mention of these two vessels is contained in a telegram dated the 12th instant, from Sir John Jordan, copy of which I inclose, and which was submitted to you when in Canton.\n\nYou will note that this telegram infers that the two vessels spoken of are to be employed in the prevention of piracy, whereas in the Wai-wu Pu's Memorandum of the 11th instant, on which the telegram is based, such employment is not clearly stated.\n\nYou will find some reference to an additional two cruisers in reserve in Mr. King's Memorandum on the Viceroy's proposed Regulations.\n\n15\n\n3. Right of Navigation of West River and Inland Waterways.-This was granted under the West River Regulations of 1897 and the Inland Water Navigation Rules of 1898, supplemented by the Mackay Treaty of 1902, Annex (C).\n\nRemarks. It was at the instigation of and owing to pressure put upon the Chinese by the British Government that the Regulations mentioned under 3 were formulated, and it is a matter for serious consideration whether any great curtailment of the use of the British flag would not be a political mistake.\n\nThe navigation of the inland waterways is comparatively recent, and its development has led to the discovery of much that is objectionable and requires amendment. It cannot be denied that the so-called British owner is largely merely an agent for Chinese, and that his control of the launches flying the British flag and registered in his name is quite inadequate. At the same time these launches, when not towing, carry passengers about the delta who are engaged in trade, and, when towing, are assisting the movement of merchandize. They thus have their part in the general trade of Canton, the delta, and the West River, of which the British share is very considerable.\n\nPiracy. It is obvious that, if there were not a general state of disorder and lawlessness in Southern China, the repeated piracies which have always existed, and which have obtained more prominence since the year 1897, as they now affect the foreign shipping permitted under 3, would not exist. They must and do bring great injury to trade, and if the use of the foreign flag is instrumental in securing their suppression it will be to the benefit of foreign and native commerce. In the absence of foreign pressure, the right to exert which is mainly afforded by the use of the flag, serious action by the local authorities is not to be expected. If the British flag is withdrawn, launches will be driven to the use of that of other Powers less particular, less disinterested, and having less power of Consular and judicial control than that possessed by the British Consul-General.\n\nChinese Measures for Suppression. It is submitted that, if the Provincial Government is compelled to acknowledge its liability to pay compensation in the case of every piracy on British launches; this responsibility will go a long way towards spurring on the local officials to eradicate the disease. Continued and energetic action by the civil and military officials on shore is a sine qua non, and, in addition, an effective patrol along the waterways is an absolute necessity. Neither will, it is submitted, be achieved unless there is some foreign control, and it has been decided that this can best be secured by the employment of suitable cruisers under the Imperial Maritime Customs. The number promised by the Wai-wu Pu, four, is inadequate, but is a move in the right direction. If the patrol is constant and effective, it should not fail to be productive of valuable evidence pertaining to the movements and whereabouts of the pirates and to the energy or otherwise of the local authorities on shore and afloat.\n\nControl of British Launches.—His Majesty's Consul-General has already reported how in his opinion this can best be secured, and particulars of his recommendations have been given to Commander Majendie, R.N. There seems no reason to doubt that, if the powers requested were given him, there should be no great difficulty, due discretion being exercised, in weeding out the good from the bad.\n\nCanton, November 15, 1907.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nR. W. MANSFIELD.\n\nInclosure 14 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum by Mr. Sly respecting the Registration of British Launches plying on the Canton Waterways and the use of the Flag.\n\n1. Registration.-Authority to register, the result of representations made by the Chinese Government to His Majesty's Minister aiming at this end, was given by Sir N. O'Conor in 1886.\n\n2. Flag. Authority to use the red ensign came from Sir Claude MacDonald in 1898, who gave it as his opinion that its use must have been contemplated when the authority to register was given.\n\n(No. 61.)

        "content_text": "4\n\nin China have enjoyed the special privilege of the protection of their trade-marks in China even before the time that the Chinese Trade-mark Protection Law came into force, and in virtue of their privilege they are entitled to demand from the Chinese authorities the prohibition of the sale or the confiscation of imitations of foreign goods.\n\nThere are instances in which the sale of Japanese goods has been stopped on this ground. As an instance, he quotes the case of a lamp chimney made in Osaka bearing a trade-mark consisting of a cow's head and a combination of two Chinese characters, \"So-ko.\" The sale of the chimney in question has been prohibited on the ground that the trade-mark is an imitation of that used by a German firm for a lamp chimney, though that mark is a deer's head and a combination of two Chinese characters, \"Tai-ko.\" The sale of a Japanese imitation of a German lamp, for which there was a large demand, was also prohibited, as it had a combination of two Chinese characters-\"Ken-shin\"-as inscribed on the German lamp.\n\nSome of the dishonest Japanese merchants who have placed imitations on the market have, it seems, actually made demands upon the Consulate-General that action should be taken for the removal of the prohibition which now exists. He cannot, however, he says, officially make a protest against the action of the Chinese authorities, since many of the trade-marks used by the Japanese are almost analogous in design with those used by German merchants, it being impossible to make a distinction between the two at a glance.\n\nThe Acting Consul-General deplores the fact that such dishonest practices should have been resorted to by the Japanese, pointing out that it can only impede the progress of Japanese industry, which continues to grow rapidly, and he suggests that the suppression of such practices is particularly necessary in the case of trade with China. He fears that, should foreigners retaliate by violating Japanese trade-marks in the future, Japan will be involved in heavy loss. He goes on to say that imitations are largely found among perfumed waters, soaps, and other toilet goods imported from Japan, and he believes that there are many dishonest men in and about Osaka who are exclusively engaged in manufacturing imitations of foreign goods.\n\nIn considering all the circumstances, he finds that the imitations have been made only in comparatively few cases by the Japanese themselves; but generally speaking the Japanese have been acting on orders received from unscrupulous Chinese merchants. (These unsophisticated Japanese again!) However, it is a fact to be lamented that Japanese imitators, tempted by temporary profits, have been acting as agents for dishonest Chinese merchants, sacrificing their own reputation and confidence. The Acting Consul-General is determined to take action against the importation of these imitations of foreign goods from Japan if the practice does not cease. We are glad to hear it, for the offence has been perpetrated for a good many years now without anything having been done to check it. “JAPAN CHRONICLE.\"\n\n5\n\nTrade-mark complaints coming from the foreigners' side have not been infrequent of late, and it seems desirable that a thorough investigation be instituted with the object of removing the whole cause of the trouble. Hitherto in many trade-marks disputes the complainants appear to have lost their case on mere technicalities, and that is the unsatisfactory feature of the matter. True, it is for the owners of trade-marks to overlook no technicalities in order that their interests may be fully protected. But a trade-mark law-like any other law containing many loopholes to be taken advantage of by unscrupulous persons to the injury of those whom it aims to protect is certainly not a good law, and should be revised. Not that we are prepared to point out such defects in our present Trade-mark Law, but seeing that there exists discontent against its working, it seems unwise to take no notice of it. Let the impression go abroad that it is very difficult to get trade-mark violators convicted under the law, the consequence will be very serious. The victims of sharp practices will stop going to law, with the result of encouraging the nefarious trade of the makers of imitation goods. The upshot will be a dangerous blow to the reputation of Japanese manufacturers in general. Or view the matter from another point. Should the insecure feeling about our trade-mark administration become general, there is no telling what may happen as the time approaches for the opening of the Grand Exposition of 1912. It is possible that foreign manufacturers will refuse sending their goods for exhibition, and it will be needless to say why. To be prepared against these eventualities it appears urgent that active measures be taken to make the evasion of the law impracticable and bring its evaders within the reach of adequate penalty. Or at least full explanation should be issued for the benefit of those who seek registration, so that there may be no chance of their suffering from the omission of nice technicalities.\n\nWhile we are on the subject, a word is due to Osaka manufacturers. In spite of its being the chief manufacturing centre of the country, Osaka has long since won an unenviable notoriety for sending abroad cheap and shoddy goods. Now it is in danger of becoming a centre of spurious manufacturers. Some say Osaka worships money and commercial morality is at very low ebb there. It is inconceivable, however, that Osaka, with a population of nearly a million and a prosperous business, is a home of sharpers and swindlers. The bulk of her inhabitants, including her principal citizens, are no doubt honest, hardworking people. These should see that the good name of their city is threatened, and it behoves them to rise in protest and league themselves against the dishonest parties. A stain to Osaka is a stain to Japan, and the curse of the nation will fall on her if her influential business men and bankers should fail to recover her reputation.\n\nInclosure 8 in No. 1.\n\nInclosure 7 in No. 1.\n\nExtract from the \"Japan Times\" of November 30, 1907.\n\nTrade-mark Frauds.\n\nFROM Osaka comes a report that the Commerce Bureau of the Southern Prefecture has just issued a note warning the local export merchants against the practice of making fraudulent use of trade-marks. The action taken is said to be the result of advices received from the Japanese Consuls in China in reply to inquiries sent out by the Central Patent Office, the information being to the effect that spurious imitation goods were most numerous among imports from Osaka. It is said further that the specific instances quoted in the Consular Reports all refer to the cases of infringement of trade-marks registered by foreigners. The revelation cannot fail to be very painful to those who cherish the hope that Japan will be able to build her international commerce solely on the principle of a fair field and no favour, and it is a national hope. In view of this, the step taken by the Osaka Commerce Bureau is not untimely; but we think it not enough-the central authorities should move in the matter.\n\nup\n\n(No. II.). Sir,\n\nSir A.

        "content_text": "4\n\nAs I saw no reason why I should not be frank on this subject with Mr. Kawakami, and inasmuch as he already knew my position, I replied in substance as follows, after informing him that I had as yet received no instructions whatever from my Government regarding the matter, and therefore the position I had taken should not be considered as necessarily the views of Government.\n\nmy\n\nThe grounds upon which I based my refusal to recognize the Railway's administration were:-\n\n1. Article 3 of the Portsmouth Treaty, which restores entirely and completely to the exclusive administration of China all portions of Manchuria excepting the Liaotung Peninsula, and stipulates that Russia does not have in Manchuria any territorial advantages or preferential or exclusive concessions in the impairment of Chinese sovereignty, or inconsistent with the principle of equal opportunity;\n\n2. The opening of Harbin by China to international trade and residence without a protest being made from Russia or the railway, or the announcement that either held any special rights of administration, which should be interpreted to mean that if any such rights were previously held they were waived or had been nullified by the Portsmouth Treaty; and\n\n3. As the status of the Railway was private or non-political, it was incompetent to exercise the municipal administration over a place open to international trade and residence that would in any manner interfere with the Treaty rights of other nations. The Railway Company certainly held extensive interests in Harbin, but as it was not a political body, its rights could be only private. It being created by the Chinese Government on one side and the Russo-Chinese Bank, a private corporation, on the other, it is difficult to see how it could take upon itself the exercise of political functions from the Russian Government which is legally known only indirectly in its affairs.\n\nWhile the Railway Company was, in a legal sense, a private or non-political body, it seems true that before the late war the Japanese Government considered it the chief instrument by which the Russian Government was endeavouring to extend its influence in Manchuria. When the conditions now existing in the North extended over the whole of Manchuria and appeared to threaten China's sovereignty, Japan considered the situation of so grave importance that she went to war with Russia, in her declaration of which she clearly set forth as one of the chief causes the fact that China's sovereignty in Manchuria was threatened. At the conclusion of the war, as a guaranty that Russia would not again attempt to infringe upon China's sovereignty in this region, Japan secured from her the clear and unequivocal pledges to completely evacuate Manchuria, to restore it entirely and completely to the exclusive administration of China, and that she (Russia) had in the region no territorial advantages or preferential or exclusive concessions in the impairment of Chinese sovereignty, or inconsistent with the principle of equal opportunity, as stipulated in the Portsmouth Treaty. This Treaty having been made known to the different Powers, must naturally be considered as the most important fact regarding the true political status of Manchuria.\n\nEvidently in order to give additional strength to the \"open door\" policy in Manchuria, in Article 1 of the Supplementary Agreement to the Treaty between China and Japan, signed 22nd December, 1905, Japan secured from China the Agreement to open Harbin, as well as other places in the North, to international trade and residence. That Japan did not recognize Russia's (or the Railway's) absolute and exclusive right of administration in Harbin, but considered China as the proper authority to open the place, is shown by the fact that Japan made the Agreement with China. If we consider China as competent to open the place, in my opinion we must consider her as the competent authority to administer it; else the opening of Harbin by China is farcical. As is well known, there is no other Harbin than the railway town, and therefore could not have been any other town or locality that was meant. Harbin is different from Tsingtao and other places leased to foreign Governments. The Railway Company which claims this place is a private Company and supposedly under Chinese sovereignty.\n\nBeing accredited only to the Chinese Government, and not having been officially informed that China had extended any administrative rights to this private Company, if I recognized in it the rights of administration as against those of China, that Government would have just cause for complaint at my actions. The Russian Government has here a Consular Representative whom I consider as the regular and competent officer for the treatment of all political questions. To divide his functions with a private Railway Company appeared to me wholly irregular and unwarranted, at least until I was officially informed of its true status, and that it was competent to perform the functions that it claims, and could be held responsible for its administrative conduct.\n\nAt any\n\n5\n\nrate, as the situation now stood, and until I received other instructions, in my opinion, I could only consider that China had opened Harbin, and that my Consulate was in here on an equality with the other Consulates. This, however, depended upon the instructions that I should receive from my Government.\n\nI then asked Mr. Kawakami if he could inform me upon what grounds he had recognized the Railway Company's administration in Harbin. His answer was a bit incoherent, or, perhaps, I failed to grasp the meaning of his reply or the idea that he intended to convey.\n\nHe referred to Article 6 of the original Agreement between China and the Russo-Chinese Bank for the construction of the railway, and also said that I would, of course, understand that their interests required such action. He added that, in his opinion, the reciprocal recognition by the Japanese and the Russian Governments of the other's Railway Administration brought no advantage to Japan, as there were practically no Russians or Russian interests in the South, while there were a large number of Japanese with considerable interests in the North which would probably increase.\n\nSince the opening of his Consulate-General in March of last year, Mr. Kawakami's actions regarding the political situation here have been erratic. At the time of his arrival here he took a stand against the Railway Company's administration of the town. After making a short trip to Japan in June he became passive until the end of October, when he again showed a rebellious spirit against the Railway Company, and at that time suggested to me that we work together to compel the Railway Company to relinquish its claim to the Administration. I outlined to him my views much as I have expressed them above, and told him I should be pleased to work with him along those lines. I heard nothing further of any energetic action being taken by him against the Railway's scheme of administration; but about the end of the year he threw himself socially and officially into the arms of the railway officials, and he has since been an intimate associate of General Groubchefsky, the Chief of the Company's civil affairs, the most devoted worker for its cause.\n\nIn an interview yesterday with the Acting Taotai of Harbin he expressed acute disappointment that the Japanese had failed to support him in his protest against the bringing in of the Railway's scheme for the administration of Harbin. He told me that Mr. Kawakami had pledged him his support in case the protest was made; to his great surprise, he had received official notification from Mr. Kawakami that the Railway's administration would be recognized by him, and that he had notified his nationals accordingly. He added that, had China done such an act, serious results would no doubt have followed.\n\nI have been privately informed that Mr. Kawakami, before interviewing me on the 10th instant, called upon the other Consular Representatives in Harbin to obtain their opinion as to the Railway's administration, i.e., the French Consular Agent, the Belgian Vice-Consul (honorary), and a Spanish Commercial Attaché, who is here to study the situation and open a Consulate if warranted. I am assured that their personal opinions were all unfavourable to the Railway's scheme.\n\nIt is clear that the Japanese Government is doing everything it can to instal the Railway's administration here. At first the assistance it gave was of a semi-private and secret nature, which has now developed into open support of the Railway's policy. This is, without doubt, the manifestation of a complete understanding between the Russian and the Japanese Governments as to their respective intentions regarding the \"door\" policy in Manchuria.\n\nopen\n\nIn my opinion the time has arrived when, if the \"open door\" policy in Manchuria is to be anything more than idle fiction, it must receive earnest support from the nations that wish the term interpreted in its true meaning. Russia's intentions in the North, it appears to me, cannot be mistaken. General Gronbehefsky, the Chief of the civil affairs of the Railway, has informed the local Chinese authorities that Chinese police must not enter the Railway's territory. The Russian Consul-General, in a recent interview with the Harbin Taotai, stated that Harbin must be considered as a purely Russian town. In this high-handed conduct Russia, of course, is bluffing. It only lies with the Powers that oppose Russia's course to meet the situation squarely by taking a firm stand in China's behalf until she can instal her rightful administration. opinion, there could be no serious menace in such a stand taken by the other Powers. When Russia realizes that earnestness is meant, she will come down. She knows too well the dangers that lurk in the revolutionary spirit that permeates her whole political structure from one end to the other, even to her army and navy, and which is waiting for an opportunity to burst forth. With her Near Eastern difficulties, provincial strifes, and financial and other domestic problems, she cannot now afford to take another\n\nIn my\n\n801",

        "content_text": "Enclosure 6.\n\nTHE RAILWAY ESTIMATES.\n\n[TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY PRESS.]\n\n\"HONGKONG\n\nHongkong, 18th May 1909,\n\nSIR, The Committee of the China Association conceive it to be in the public interest to endeavour to dissipate an erroneous impression that Hongkong is being called upon to pay for the Colonial section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway considerably more than the work is worth.\n\nThe prevalence of this impression is indicated by certain Press comments upon His Excellency the Governor's speech in Council on the increased estimates. From the general tone of these it might almost be assumed that mismanagement had led to the doubling of the legitimate cost of construction. There appears to be a popular idea that the original estimate was for some 5 million dollars; that the work ought not to have cost much more; but that gradually, owing to a series of blunders, the figure has risen to 11 millions. This belief that the cost has been doubled by mismanagement has naturally led to severe criticism being directed against those responsible for the undertaking. I venture to submit that it is not borne out by the full circumstances of the case.\n\nThe first important fact to note is that the estimate of 5 million dollars was a mere rough estimate made by Mr. Bruce on his original survey. The line beyond Shatin planned by him, was a single line throughout, to run along the edge of the sea shore from Lokloha to Taipo.\n\n110\n\nThe alignment which he proposed, and on which this rough estimate was based, had subsequently to be altered because the typhoon of September 1906 showed the shore edge to be unsafe. That typhoon was a revelation in many ways. It taught several lessons to others besides Railway engineers, and there is particular blame attaching to anyone for not having foreseen the possibilities of destruction reposing in the sheltered waters of Mirs Bay. If we can all now see that Mr. Bruce's original alignment was a mistake we ought in fairness to remember it was at least excusable under the circumstances.\n\nThe change in the alignment, removing the track out of reach of the sea, entailed much heavy cutting not contemplated by Mr. Bruce, and the boring of three additional tunnels, of which that undertaken at Taipo is in itself a considerable enterprise. It is also important to remember that it was subsequently decided to build all bridge cuttings, and the three additional tunnels, wide enough to admit of a double track being laid, should the necessity for that hereafter arise. Mr. Bruce had not made provision for costly developments of this sort. It was not his business to do so. His business, as described by His Excellency the Governor in the Legislative Council on the 6th February 1908, was \"to make a preliminary survey and to base upon it a preliminary estimate.\"\n\nHow rough an estimate it was may be gathered from His Excellency's comment upon it in the same speech, in relation to the cost of earth work. He said \"it is difficult to know exactly what rates Mr. Bruce had calculated at, because no drawings or calculations of quantities and rates were supplied with the estimate.\"\n\nIn justice to Mr. Bruce it should not be forgotten that the first and by far the most important duty which fell upon him was to decide upon the main route of the railway. At one time the Deep Bay route had been recommended. He had to determine which of three different routes should be adopted, and it stands to his credit that his decision on this vital point has been generally admitted to be sound.\n\nThe first detailed and authoritative estimate made was that submitted by Mr. Eves in his report dated 4th February 1908, and laid before the Legislative Council on the 22nd of the same month. If this estimate is compared with that made by Mr. Bruce it will be seen that the increase is mainly due to five factors:\n\nThe estimates for land resumption was increased by $1,186,038\n\nFor earthwork by $729,003\n\nFor tunnels by $579,555\n\nFor bridges by $620,927\n\nWhile the expenditure on Plant, Rolling Stock, Salaries and ballast (for which Mr. Bruce had made no estimate at all) was estimated by Mr. Eves at $1,191,647\n\nTotal... $4,306,170\n\nThe reasons for the increase in these items have already been alluded to, with the exception of that due to land resumptions in Kowloon, incidental to new and larger ideas of what will be required at the terminus. Over and above this there remains an increase of roundly $500,000 accounted for by increases under the other subheads.\n\nWith regard to the difference between Mr. Eves' estimate, dated 4th February 1908, and his estimate dated the 9th March last, and laid before the Legislative Council at its last meeting, the excess of the latter over the former is just under $1,150,000. Of this nearly $1,000,000 is due to increased expenditure on Beacon Hill Tunnel. The net increase on the remaining items, as compared with Mr. Eves' first estimate is just under $150,000 - not a very formidable sum. One reason for the increased cost of Beacon Hill tunnel is to be found in the varied character of the excavation, and another in the phenomenal hardness of the rock met with in parts of the hill, necessitating the use of specially heavy drills and an enormously increased use of explosives.\n\nThe fact that the estimates have exceeded - a common experience in all such undertakings - should not be interpreted to mean that the work could have been executed for less. Unless this can be proved there is no justification for...\n\n25670\n\n483\n\n3) JUL 09",

And the Master prefers these risks to the certainty of detention on the other side\".\n\nAfter receiving this report, on the 8th July, 1902, the Colonial Secretary wrote to Mr. W. A. Rublee, the Consul-General for the United States inviting his attention to an irregularity, which took place in the examination of the crew of the British Ship \"Knight Companion\" in November, 1901, when bound from this port to Manila. It appears that the passengers and crew of the vessel were inspected by the Doctors attached to the United States Consulate, and that one of the crew failing to pass the Medical examination was obliged to leave the ship and was in fact illegally discharged, since his discharge did not take place before the proper officer as required by law. For such action the master of the vessel rendered himself liable to a fine under Section 16, subsection (12) of Ordinance 26 of 1901 and made the seaman he unlawfully discharged also liable to a fine under subsection (11) of the same section. The Colonial Secretary, therefore requested Mr. Rublee to give such instructions as would preclude the commission of such a breach of the law, adding that, if it occurred again, it would be followed by a prosecution of the Master.\n\nMr. Rublee replied on the following day, admitting that one of the members of the crew of the British Steamer \"Knight Companion\" which sailed from Hongkong for Portland, Oregon, U.S.A., on the 14th November, 1901, was rejected by the Doctor of the United States Marine Hospital Service attached to the Consulate. The man had fever and the Doctor advised the Captain not to take him as he would otherwise be",

Ewens and Harston\n\ndiscovered that a petition had been sent by Yiu Chow to the\n\nRegistrar-General in October, 1889, which put an aspect on the\n\nmatter quite different from that shown in Mr. Bruce Shepherd's\n\nevidence on the trial, and drew the attention of the Govern-\n\nment to the judgments of the Hongkong Court and the Privy\n\nCouncil, and the petition.\n\nMessrs. Ewens and Harston took Counsel's\n\nopinion on the whole matter and were advised to ask His Excel-\n\nlency the Governor to sue on behalf of their clients to compel\n\nChu Ping to carry out the agreement signed by Chu Chuen on 19th.\n\nDecember, 1889, and the agreement signed by Chu Ping in 1903.\n\nMr. Sercombe Smith, then Acting Colonial\n\nSecretary, went very fully into the matter, and considering\n\nthat Chan and Pun had a real grievance advised the Governor to\n\naccede to their request, and after correspondence the present\n\naction was commenced.\n\nAt the trial Mr. Pollock for the Plaintiff\n\ntried to put in evidence Yiu Chow's Petition and various\n\nminutes dealing with it, but the Chief Justice excluded this\n\nvery important evidence, on the ground that (as was unfortunately\n\nthe case) no witness was produced to prove that the Petition\n\nwas\n\nPERENCA ANT",

On receipt of this telegram arrangements\n\nwill be made to relieve Mr. Lillie of his present duties: as he\n\nwill require a little time to settle up his private affairs\n\nhere, the date he will sail for Hongkong will probably be about\n\nthe middle or end of August.\n\n6.\n\nTo prevent any misunderstanding it will be\n\nperhaps best to recapitulate the terms on which Mr. Lillie\n\nwould be placed at your disposal. He would be lent by the\n\nGovernment of India and on the termination of his engagement\n\nwith you he would return to our service. The conditions of\n\nservice with you would be:-\n\n(1). Engagement to be for three years, commencing\n\nfrom the date Mr. Lillie sails from India.\n\n(2).

Case.\n\nImperial Bank of China v. Loung Shia King.\n\nThe amount involved in this case was some $350,000. The Bank asked for a special jury, the defendant's Counsel opposed this on the ground that there would be a prolonged examination of accounts and the Chief Justice supported this contention (under Section 290 Sub-section 3 of Code.)\n\nAs a matter of fact although a large amount of evidence was taken by commission in Shanghai &c., there was no very prolonged examination of accounts as the whole case only occupied a few days in the hearing. Judgment was postponed and delivered after the Chief Justice had called in a Chartered Accountant.\n\nIt is open to argument whether this Section of the Code should have been applied in this case.\n\nThe sum involved was a very large one, and several questions of fact were raised. Under these circumstances, it would appear that a special jury composed of leading business men of the Colony would have been a more satisfactory assistance to the Court in deciding these questions of fact than a single accountant.\n\n4th.

In the\n\nfirst place the sum shewn as Military Expenditure in the\n\npublished Financial Statements, represents only a portion\n\nof the total cost of the Forces. Medical services, trane-\n\nport, defence, and barrack buildings are included under the\n\nheads of Expenditure, while accounting and clerical work,\n\nand many other services are rendered by civil departments.\n\nIn the second place it is not easy to distinguish in many\n\ncases between the Military and the Police services. Armed\n\nConstabulary form part of the defensive force, yet perform\n\nsome civil duties. Adding one third of ordinary Civil\n\nExpenditure to cover the former (which is probably too low\n\nan estimate) and excluding Police except where shewn de-\n\nfinitely as Constabulary, and even then debiting only half\n\ntheir cost to Military Expenditure, a very rough approxima-\n\ntion of the proportion which Military Expenditure bears to\n\nGeneral Revenue may be arrived at. So far as it has been\n\npossible to make this calculation from available data, it will be found in Table 14\n\nIn\n\nSince this Memorandum was written application has been made to the different Colonies and Protectorates for the figures necessary to complete this table, and copies of their replies are attached. From these it will be seen that with the exception of Northern Nigeria, (the figures from which place are, I think, based on calculations made by myself when there), the data regarding indirect expenses of defence are so vague,(where given at all), that they are useless for purposes of precise calculation. Northern Nigeria gives full figures, and may be taken as a fair type. accurate calculation can probably only be made at the Colonial Office where full data are available. I am on the whole inclined to think that my rough approximations above are probably fairly correct. They are based on my exper-\n\nlence in a Protectorate providing its own defence.\n\nAn",

Jordan,\nWuhu, November 24, 1908.\n\nI HAVE the honour to transmit herewith copies of despatches which I received yesterday from Captain Nugent, of His Majesty's ship \"Flora,\" giving details of the recent mutiny of Anhui troops at An-ching.\n\nSo far, there are no signs of the movement spreading to this port, and the few troops there are here are, apparently, under good control; it is reported, however, that there are a good many revolutionaries here whose actions will be guided by the course of events in the capital. Although there is much excitement, principally amongst the students, consequent on the recent developments in Peking and An-ch'ing, business is being carried on as usual, and there are no indications of trouble. It is reported, however, that some of the defeated mutineers from An-ch'ing have fled to Lu Chow Fu and other cities, where they have commenced looting, and this news is causing some anxiety.\n\nThere are some hundred foreigners here, many of whom, principally missionaries, reside some little distance from the customs jetty; and in view of the disquieting news from An-ching the foreign community met yesterday at the Consulate to arrange with the Senior Naval Officer as to what steps should be taken in the event of trouble occurring. The steam-ship \"Wingsang,\" which is temporarily taking the place of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Co.'s hulk at this port, is, at the request of the Senior Naval Officer, lying with banked fires, and she would be able to raise steam and slip her moorings within an hour should the necessity for such a step arise.\n\nAs reported in my telegram No. 7 of the 18th instant, the Wuhu Taotai died suddenly on the evening of the 16th instant, and the charge of the port devolved on the Magistrate, a man by no means capable of dealing with the present situation. The papers announced that Kuo Ch'ung Kuang had been appointed acting Taotai, but it was reported that owing to family affairs he would not arrive here for a month or so. It seemed to me that the presence of a responsible official in the port was essential at such a time as the present, and yesterday I telegraphed to the Governor urging him to send a Taotai here without delay. Last night I received a telegram from his Excellency saying that Kuo Ch'ung Kuang would leave An-ch'ing to-day to take up the post of acting Taotai of Wuhu, and he added at the end of his message that the revolt at the capital had been entirely suppressed.\n\nSir,\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) **HERBERT GOFFE**.\n\n## Inclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nCaptain Nugent to Consul Goffe.\n\nI HAVE the honour to inform you that the situation here is as follows:-\n\n\"Flora,\" at Anking, November 22, 1908.\n\nTwo thousand soldiers belonging to the Anhui Province revolted on the 19th November, and attempted to seize Anking city. They occupied East Fort and surrounded the walls, but were driven out of the fort by shell fire from four small Chinese cruisers and from the vicinity of the river on the 20th instant.\n\n2. I arrived at 5 P.M. on the 21st; East Fort was considerably damaged by the bombardment. Everything appeared to be quiet and the Chinese General Ta Fong Yu was on board the cruiser \"Tsch-Tien\"; he stated that all the rebels had been driven to the hills.\n\n3. The Secretary to the Governor of Anking came on board \"Flora\" about 6:30 P.M., and he stated that the rebels were still firing on the north side of the city, and that the soldiers who had revolted were mostly recruits, also that nine camps of Nanking and Hankow troops were advancing to suppress the revolt.\n\n4. I received a letter from Mr. Westwood of the China Inland Mission stating that there were twelve men, two women, and two children in the city. As he seemed anxious to be taken off, I requested the Governor to have them safely conducted on board His Majesty's ship \"Flora.\"\n\n5. I have no news of the Military Attachés. They are supposed to be at Tai-ho, about 60 miles from here; I am endeavouring to communicate with them by letter, and will get them away if possible.\n\n6. At present the revolt appears to be confined to the Anhui soldiers, and it remains to be seen how far it will extend.\n\n7. His Majesty's ship \"Britomart\" reports that the missionary at Tatung stated that the soldiers there intended to revolt on the 20th, but there are only a few soldiers at that place, and the Customs official, Mr. Hance, said he knew of no trouble at Tatung.\n\n8. I will remain here for the present.\n\nFull reports by telegram from Tatung have been sent to British Minister Peking, and to Commander-in-chief, Hong Kong.\n\nSir,\nI am, &c.\n(Signed) **ROWLAND NUGENT**.\n\n## Inclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nCaptain Nugent to Consul Goffe.\n\n\"Flora,\" at Anking, November 22, 1908.\n\nTHE following missionaries were embarked on board His Majesty's ship \"Flora\" this afternoon :—\n\n| Name | \n| --- | \n| Mr. McCarthy | \n| Miss Ogden | \n| Miss Barber | \n| Miss Tomlinson | \n| four children | \n| Mr. Taylor | \n| Mr. Linston | \n| Mrs. Westwood |\n\nMrs. Westwood is taking passage this evening in Japanese steamer to Shanghai. The remainder are going to Hankow at first opportunity. All the other male missionaries are remaining on shore here for the present.\n\n**(No. 26.)**\nI am, &c.\n(Signed) **ROWLAND NUGENT**.\n\n## Inclosure 6 in No. 1.\n\nConsul Goffe to Sir J. Jordan,\n\nSir,\n\nWuhu, November 25, 1908.\n\nIN continuation of my immediately preceding despatch, I have the honour to transmit herewith copies of further despatches received this morning from Captain Nugent at An-ch'ing, a résumé of which was contained in my telegram No. 1 of to-day's date.\n\nSome of the mutineers who fled from An-ch'ing have been arrested here, and last evening there were some looting and rioting in the immediate vicinity of the port, which were suppressed, not without difficulty, by the military. The police are now provided with rifles at night, and armed bodies of troops patrol the principal streets of the city and suburbs, visiting the hotels and inns en route.\n\nOver 100 local troops left here this morning for Lu-chou Fu, about 250 li to the north-west of Wuhu, where serious trouble is reported; but owing to the interruption of... \n\nPage 39",

The Chinese Government and the railway company have thus each their representative on the municipal council, but their powers do not stop there for the president of the Chiao Shi Chu and the director of the railway are, by articles 13 and 14 of the agreement, given a general right of control and personal supervision over the doings of the assemblies of delegates and can veto all decisions of the municipal committees, subject, however, to these decisions being sent back to the assemblies for further consideration and being made effective if adopted by a majority of three-fourths of the members.\n\nEven these official safeguards are not considered sufficient, and a still further check upon popular government is introduced into the 10th article, which stipulates, with what seems to be almost superfluous caution, that important questions having reference to public interest or the finances of the municipalities shall, after discussion by the assemblies of delegates, be referred for consideration and approval of the Chinese president of the railway company and the head office of the company at St. Petersburgh.\n\nSeeing that article 10 empowers the assemblies to deal with all local questions of public utility, it is at first sight hard to see how \"important questions of public interest\" can, consistently with that provision, be referred to the decision of another and higher body.\n\nThe explanation given to me by the Russian Minister is that article 15 is intended more especially to apply to municipal loans which it was not thought wise to entrust to interested people on the spot.\n\nIt should be remembered in passing that no Chinese president of the railway company at present exists, the 1st article of the 1896 agreement having fallen into desuetude. The idea in reviving the appointment is apparently to provide an equipoise on the Chinese side to the influence exercised by the head office of the railway at St. Petersburgh.\n\nArticle 16 limits the administration of the railway company to the properties specially set apart for railway purposes, and may thus be taken to define authoritatively the extent of \"le droit absolu exclusif de l'administration de ses terrains,\" which the company claimed under the 6th article of the original agreement of 1896.\n\n## \nArticle 17 is far the most important of all, and forms, together with the exchange of notes, the one essential safeguard for the protection of the treaty rights of other Powers. Much will depend upon the nature of the \"detailed regulations which it is proposed to elaborate, and, as they will deal with police organisation and taxation, it is to be presumed that they will be drawn up in consultation with the representatives of other Powers, or, at all events, be subject to their approval. Otherwise, as I have informed the Russian Minister, they will not be enforceable on the subjects of other nations through our consular courts.\n\nIt seems to me almost impracticable to graft upon the present agreement any rules which will give these municipal bodies a truly international character, but it may perhaps be possible to devise some means whereby other foreigners may be able to live and trade with a tolerable degree of freedom and comfort under a species of Chinese and Russian condominium, tempered with a certain amount of self-government.\n\nThe Russian Minister here realises that other Powers will expect to have a voice in the framing of the \"detailed regulations,\" and, in view of all the interests at stake, it seems important that the American and British Ministers in particular should be authorised to watch the negotiations, and do what is possible to protect the Treaty rights of their nationals.\n\nIt is important to note that, pending the framing of \"detailed rules,\" the existing municipal regulations, to which such serious exception has been taken, are to remain in force, subject to certain modifications provided for in article 18 of the present agreement. Considering the difficulties which are likely to be experienced in framing the \"detailed rules,\" this provisional arrangement may last for some time, and its working will be required to be carefully watched.\n\nThe recognition of Chinese sovereign rights over the railway territory, which is so positively affirmed in this agreement, is, I understand, viewed with considerable concern by the Japanese Minister, who foresees the possibility of the extension of the principle to the Japanese settlements on the South Manchurian Railway.\n\nAs China succeeded in obliging Japan to accept the terms of her arrangement with Russia for telegraphs in Manchuria, so she doubtless hopes by the same means to secure the adhesion of Japan to this modified interpretation of the 1896 railway agreement. But the task will be a much more difficult one, as the Japanese communities have taken firm root on the soil of China, and Japan has always shown a marked disinclination to join in any form of international settlement wherever her people could find a way of living apart under their own institutions. Politically, too, she will probably see strong objections to recognising China as the paramount lord of the railway territory.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n## Inclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nJ. N. JORDAN,\n\n**Preliminary Agreement, signed at Peking, May 10, 1909.**\n\nDES divergences d'opinion s'étant produites dans l'interprétation du contrat pour la construction et l'exploitation du Chemin de Fer de l'Est de la 22° année de Kuang Hsu, 8 lune, 2o jour (27 août, 1896), les Gouvernements de Chine et de Russie ont arrêté, au sujet de l'organisation des municipalités sur les terrains du dit chemin de fer, les dispositions générales suivantes :-----\n\n1. Comme principe fondamental, les droits souverains de la Chine sont reconnus sur les terrains du chemin de fer; aucun préjudice ne peut leur être porté.\n\n2. La Chine prend toutes mesures émanant de ses droits souverains sur les terrains du chemin de fer, et la direction du chemin de fer ou les municipalités ne peuvent sous aucun prétexte s'opposer à ces mesures tant que les dites mesures ne sont pas contraires aux contrats conclus avec la Société du Chemin de Fer chinois de l'Est.\n\n3. Les contrats du Chemin de Fer chinois de l'Est actuellement existants demeurent en pleine vigueur.\n\n4. Les lois ou ordonnances et les mesures législatives résultant des droits souverains de la Chine sont rédigées et publiées par les fonctionnaires chinois sous forme de proclamation.\n\n5. Les hauts fonctionnaires chinois et agents officiels visitant les terrains du chemin de fer seront accueillis par la direction de chemin de fer et les municipalités avec tous les égards et la déférence de rigueur.\n\n6. Des organisations municipales sont établies dans les centres commerciaux d'une certaine importance situés sur les terrains du chemin de fer. Les habitants de ces centres commerciaux, suivant l'importance des localités et le nombre des habitants, nomment par voie d'élection des délégués qui choisissent un comité exécutif; ou bien, les habitants eux-mêmes participent aux affaires municipales et un représentant est élu parmi eux, lequel se charge d'exécuter les résolutions prises par l'assemblée de tous les habitants.\n\n7. Il n'est fait aucune différence sur les terrains du chemin de fer entre la population chinoise et celle des autres nationalités; tous les habitants jouissent des mêmes droits et sont soumis aux mêmes obligations.\n\n8. Le droit d'électeur appartient à tout membre de la communauté qui est propriétaire d'un immeuble d'une valeur fixe ou qui paye un loyer et une taxe annuels déterminés.\n\n9. Le président est élu par l'assemblée des délégués et choisi parmi eux, sans distinction de nationalité.\n\n10. Toutes les questions locales d'utilité publique sont de la compétence de l'assemblée des délégués. Les institutions qui n'intéressent qu'une partie des habitants, telles qu'églises, chambres de commerce, écoles, établissements de charité, etc., sont entretenues par cette partie des habitants, au moyen de cotisations.\n\n11. L'assemblée des délégués choisit dans son milieu et sans distinction de nationalité les membres chargés de la gestion des affaires municipales; leur nombre ...",

        "content_text": "# \nBut it was not sufficient to add to this calculation the 8,000,000 dollars required by M. de Rijke and ask the Chinese Government to supply the difference. It was necessary that we should have a complete financial plan to present to them, and we could not draw one up until we knew such essential details as the dates upon which the extra sums would be required, the amount which it was estimated would probably be necessary for conservancy work after the period of five years, during which period M. de Rijke hopes to complete his present scheme, the funds available from 1911 for the repayment of the loan of 4,500,000 taels, &c.\n\nThe diplomatic body approved of my views and authorised the dean to write to the senior consul at Shanghae for a statement in this sense.\n\nM. de Carcer accordingly submitted a draft letter, copy of which I have the honour to inclose. Although it appeared to me that this letter did not explain sufficiently what was required, I have not pointed this out, but have written a despatch to Sir Pelham Warren, copy of which is also inclosed, in which I have asked him to see M. de Rijke and set forth the exact position and the nature of the financial plan which is desired.\n\nThe manager of the Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank at Shanghae has written the inclosed letter to Mr. Hillier, which that gentleman has kindly communicated to me. I have written privately to Sir Pelham Warren, authorising him to discuss the proposals therein contained with Mr. Hunter, and I hope, at the next meeting of the diplomatic body, to be able to make some definite proposal for a loan on this basis for the acceptance of my colleagues and presentation to the Chinese Government.\n\nCopy of a despatch from Sir Pelham Warren, transmitting a report by M. de Rijke on the urgent necessity of closing the ship channel, is also inclosed for your information.*\n\nI have, &c.\nM. le Doyen,\n\n## Inclosure 1 in No. 1.\n### M. von Mutius to Doyen of Diplomatic Body.\n\nPékin, le 14 juin, 1909.\n\nMe référant à la circulaire No. 88, concernant la correction du Whangpoo, je me permets, par ordre de mon chef, d'attirer l'attention du corps diplomatique sur les inquiétudes qui se sont prononcées parmi les commerçants de Shanghaï et dans le corps consulaire au sujet de l'œuvre entreprise par M. de Rijke.\n\nUne grande somme a été dépensée pendant les dernières années sans que le résultat obtenu soit de nature à rassurer complètement sur l'efficacité de l'œuvre de M. de Rijke.\n\nIl me semble sous ce rapport très significatif que la Chambre internationale de Commerce à Shanghai, tout en exprimant sa confiance en M. de Rijke, s'est décidée à faire des démarches pour une revision du projet Rijke par une autorité technique indépendante.\n\nD'autre part, le corps consulaire de Shaughaï a résolu dans la session du 11 mai, par une majorité de 8 contre 3 voix, d'exprimer vis-à-vis du Conservancy Board le désir que le \"ship channel,\" qui sert actuellement de communication entre Shanghai et la mer, ne soit détérioré sauf sous garanties que le \"junk channel,\" qui, d'après le projet Rijke, lui sera substitué, soit mis en état de le remplacer complètement.\n\nBien que cette résolution ait été annulée par une autre majorité dans la session du 25 mai, elle peut servir de document pour les appréhensions d'une minorité considérable du corps consulaire de Shanghai.\n\nIl me semble indiqué que le corps diplomatique, au moment d'approcher le Gouvernement chinois pour obtenir de nouveaux moyens, devrait tenir compte de la situation susmentionnée. Je me permets donc de mettre en discussion s'il ne serait pas utile d'exprimer dans la réponse à donner au corps consulaire de Shanghai que le corps diplomatique considère comme désirable:-\n\n(1.) Une revision du projet Rijke par une autorité technique indépendante.\n(2.) Conservation du \"ship channel\" dans son état actuel jusqu'au moment où la somme nécessaire à l'achèvement des travaux sera assurée.\n\nVeuillez, &c.\n\npour\nG. VON MUTIUS.\n\n## Remarks on above by Sir J. Jordan.\n\nI regret that I cannot concur in the proposal made by M. Mutius on behalf of his Excellency the German Minister.\n\nBritish shipping and commercial interests generally are, so far as my information goes, quite satisfied with the progress of the conservancy work, and have full confidence in the ultimate success of M. de Rijke's scheme. The Shanghae Chamber of Commerce seems to share these views, as they state that their object in taking the steps to which M. Mutius refers \"is not due to any want of confidence in the carrying out of his scheme by M. de Rijke, but rather that the good work done by him may be confirmed by a competent expert.\"\n\nI do not see, therefore, the necessity for adopting the first suggestion made by M. Mutius, and, as regards the second one, I venture to think that the diplomatic body are scarcely in a position to issue instructions respecting the technical execution of the work.\n\nJ. N. JORDAN,\n\n31.\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1.\n### M. de Carcer to M. Siffert.\n\nLe corps diplomatique, à qui j'ai soumis votre lettre du 27 avril écoulé, après avoir considéré la demande de 8,089,765 dollars pour l'achèvement des travaux à faire dans le Whangpoo, me charge de vous dire qu'avant de présenter une telle demande au Gouvernement chinois, il désire être en possession d'un plan financier détaillant la façon dont le Conservancy Board veut recevoir cette somme, beaucoup trop considérable pour la demander d'une seule fois, c'est-à-dire, dans combien d'annuités et leur montant, afin que le corps diplomatique puisse le faire savoir au Wai-wou-Pou.\n\nVeuillez, &c.\n\nDE CARCER.\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n### Sir J. Jordan to Consul-General Sir P. Warren.\n\n(No. 48. **Confidential.**)\n\nSir,\n\nPeking, July 18, 1909.\n\nThe question of the conservancy of the Whangpoo was discussed at the last meeting of the foreign representatives held on the 9th instant. M. de Mutius, in the name of the German Minister, withdrew the proposal that the plans of M. de Rijke should be submitted to the examination of experts, and there therefore only remains the question of the provision of funds for the work contemplated. In this connection I pointed out that it was not sufficient merely to ask the Chinese Government to supply the lump sum mentioned by M. de Rijke, namely, 8,000,000 dollars odd. The financial situation of the Conservancy Board was not quite clear to me, and I did not yet understand, from the statements of the receipts and expenditure which I had received, how the money was to be raised, at what dates it would be required, and how provision was to be made for the repayment, not only of the loan, which presumably would have to be contracted, but also of that of 4,500,000 taels, repayment of which begins in 1911.\n\nYet it was absolutely necessary that these details should be known before we could approach the Chinese Government, and that we should be in a position, not merely to ask for a particular sum, but to present to them a regular financial scheme, indicating the dates on which the money would be required, and suggesting, if possible, the manner in which it might be raised.\n\nThe foreign representatives approved my views, and the dean of the consular body in Shanghae will shortly receive a vote asking for information from the dean of the diplomatic body here. I have, however, seen a copy of this draft note and I do not think that it contains a sufficient indication of what is required. It would therefore be an advantage if you could inform M. de Rijke of what is really wanted,",

Korostovetz, je n'ai pas manqué de demander par télégraphe le gérant de notre consulat à Harbine de me donner des renseignements précis sur l'incident mentionné dans votre communication.\n\nLe gérant du consulat général me télégraphie que la police russe est entrée dans le magasin du sujet anglais Craig and Co., ayant pour but de saisir quelques objets appartenant à un sujet autrichien et déposés par un nommé Sidoroff, sujet russe en service chez Messrs. Craig and Co., dans le magasin susmentionné.\n\nEn apprenant cet incident, le gérant de notre consulat général s'est mis en rapport avec le consul britannique à Moukden, et l'affaire paraît être terminée à l'amiable après des pourparlers entre ces deux fonctionnaires.\n\n## Acting Consul-General Willis to Prince Mestchersky\n\n### Mukden, August 13, 1909.\n\nSir and dear Colleague,\n\nI RECEIVED a telegram on the evening of the 11th instant from the agent of Messrs. Craig and Co., a British firm established at Harbin, to the effect that the Russian police authorities at the instance of an Austrian subject, without any process of law, had taken possession of their warehouse. They were thus prevented from delivering goods sold and continuing business, to the serious detriment of their credit.\n\nI telegraphed to you yesterday protesting, provided the facts were as stated, against such action by the police authorities.\n\nBoth General Horwath and yourself have stated to me that the Russian Government never had any intention of claiming jurisdiction over the subjects of the other treaty Powers in the railway territory; I am at a loss, therefore, to understand the action of the police, which seems to me, from the facts at present before me, to conflict with any principle of law or treaty with which I am acquainted.\n\nI feel constrained, therefore, to confirm my telegraphic protest, and to state that I must hold the police authorities responsible for any loss or damage caused to Messrs. Craig and Co. by their unwarrantable action.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**ROBERT WILLIS.**\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\n(No. 29.) Sir,\n\n**D. Abrikossov**\n\nVeuillez, &c.\n\n## Acting Consul-General Willis to Sir J. Jordan\n\n### Mukden, August 13, 1909.\n\nWITH reference to your telegram No. 6 of the 12th instant and my reply of to-day's date, I have the honour to report as follows:\n\nMessrs. Craig and Co.'s agent at Harbin telegraphed to me on the evening of the 11th instant to the effect that their warehouse had been taken possession of by the Russian police authorities at the instance of an Austrian subject without any process of law. The firm were thus prevented from delivering goods already sold and continuing business, and their credit, the agent alleged, was being seriously damaged.\n\nI telegraphed in reply on the morning of the 12th advising the firm to complain against the action of the police authorities at the Russian consulate-general, and at the same time I telegraphed to Prince Mestchersky, who is temporarily in charge, General Horwath being on leave, protesting, provided the facts were as stated, against the action of the police.\n\nThis morning I received a further telegram from Messrs. Craig's agent informing me that on the evening of the 12th the police authorities had offered to return the keys of the warehouse, but that no explanation of their action had been given him. The offer of the keys had been refused by Messrs. Craig and Co. pending reference to me, but as I did not see how the case could be compromised by their acceptance of the offer, I telegraphed to the firm in this sense.\n\nI have also confirmed my telegraphic protest to the Russian consul-general in a letter, copy of which I have the honour to enclose.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**ROBERT WILLIS.**\n\n## Inclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\n(No. 30.) Sir,\n\n## Acting Consul-General Willis to Sir J. Jordan\n\n### Mukden, August 14, 1909.\n\nIN continuation of my immediately preceding despatch with reference to the case of Messrs. Craig and Co. at Harbin, I have the honour to state that yesterday evening I received a telegram from Prince Mestchersky, the acting Russian consul-general at Harbin, to the following effect:\n\nThe keys of the warehouse in question had been taken care of by the Russian police in consequence of a quarrel between Craig and Co.'s representative, a Russian subject named Klementasky, and one Oettinger, an Austrian, the father of Craig and Co.'s former agent, now deceased.\n\nBoth these gentlemen were in possession of a key of the warehouse, and according to Oettinger's statement, Klementasky opened the warehouse intending to take away effects belonging to Oettinger.\n\nAfter the misunderstanding had been cleared up, the keys were offered to Klementasky, who refused to receive them except through the hands of the British consul. The keys were now at the Russian consulate-general, and Prince Mestchersky suggested that I should instruct Klementasky to accept the keys.\n\nI telegraphed in reply that I had already advised Craig and Co.'s agent to receive the keys, and added that, in my opinion, the proper course would have been for Oettinger to have sued Klementasky personally in the matter.\n\nIf the facts are as represented by Prince Mestchersky, it appears to me, considering that Klementasky is a Russian subject and that the Austrian Oettinger had apparently the right of entry into the godown, that the action of the police cannot be considered altogether indefensible, and I do not therefore propose to take any further steps in the matter pending instructions.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**ROBERT WILLIS.**",

Sir,\n\nMr. Carnegie to Sir Edward Grey.--(Received December 6.)\n\nParis, December 5, 1909.\n\nON receipt of your despatch No. 466 of the 23rd ultimo, His Majesty's Ambassador addressed an enquiry to the French Government with a view to learning how they regard the suggestion of the United States Government that an international conference should be held at The Hague to conventionalise the resolutions adopted by the commission which was held at Shanghae last February to investigate the opium trade and opium habit in the Far East.\n\nI have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of M. Pichon's reply, stating that, as French interests in the question are much less important than those of Great Britain, though of the same nature, his Excellency proposes to adopt the same course in the matter as that taken by His Majesty's Government. M. Pichon expresses the opinion, however, that the assembly of a conference on the opium question would, in present circumstances, be premature, since only the measures taken by China herself would have any real effect in repressing the opium habit. M. Pichon proposes, moreover, to have the matter submitted to the Governor of French Indo-China with a view to ascertaining his views thereon.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nL. D. CARNEGIE.\n\n### Inclosure in No. 1.\n\nM. l'Ambassadeur,\n\nM. Pichon to Sir F. Bertie.\n\nParis, le 1er décembre, 1909.\n\nPAR un office en date du 27 novembre dernier votre Excellence a bien voulu me faire savoir que le Principal Secrétaire d'Etat de Sa Majesté pour les Affaires Etrangères avait été pressenti par l'Ambassadeur des États-Unis au sujet de la réunion éventuelle d'une conférence internationale à La Haye destinée à conventionnaliser les résolutions prises par la commission de l'opium réunie à Shanghaï en février dernier.\n\nVotre Excellence a bien voulu, en me faisant connaître en même temps que le Gouvernement britannique examinerait à loisir cette proposition, dont les conséquences doivent être auparavant examinées avec soin par le Gouvernement des Indes, me demander quel serait l'accueil fait par mon Gouvernement à la même suggestion qui m'a été soumise d'autre part par l'Ambassade américaine à Paris.\n\nMon département pense adopter vis-à-vis du Gouvernement américain une attitude analogue à celle qui a été prise jusqu'à présent par le Gouvernement britannique, intéressé, dans les mêmes conditions que la France, mais dans des proportions plus importantes, à ce que la question de l'opium ne soit pas posée dans des conditions de hâte illégitimes et contraires à ses intérêts.\n\nDe même que le Gouvernement des Indes doit être, avant toute décision, consulté par le Gouvernement anglais, j'estime que pour la France le Gouvernement de l'Indo-Chine est, bien plus que le Gouvernement de la Métropole, intéressé par la question de l'opium, et pour cette raison je me propose de consulter sur la suggestion américaine M. le Ministre des Colonies, qui, de son côté, ne prendra sans doute aucune décision sans avoir fait étudier la question par M. Klobukowski.\n\nEn toute hypothèse, je considère comme prématurée la réunion d'une conférence de l'opium dans les conditions présentes; seules les mesures prises par la Chine elle-même peuvent avoir une action efficace sur la répression de l'opiomanie. Il convient donc, avant tout, d'être bien certain non seulement que le Gouvernement chinois a pris les dispositions nécessaires pour supprimer partout la culture du pavot, mais... \n\n[2553 ƒ-1]",

This must be so even in an English Court where matters are not usually complicated by differences of language. How much more so when the accused himself and most of the witnesses are Chinese, and not knowing English, and the latter speak a dialect which neither the prisoner himself nor his advocate can understand. The first suggestion therefore falls to the ground. As to the second point of waiver by counsel, I think that if in criminal matters, when the plea is not guilty, the client himself is not competent to bridge, by acquiescence, gaps in the case against him, nor to condone irregularities by consent, then a fortiori his counsel can assume no such responsibility for him. It is true that the quasi-civil character which the early law attached to mere misdemeanours has occasionally led in their case to slight relaxations of the rule. Thus on a second trial of a charge of manslaughter, the evidence of a witness at the first trial has been, by consent of the prisoner, and to save time merely read out by the judge from his notes, and then assented to en bloc by the witnesses.\n\nIt is unnecessary, I suppose, to labour the point that if the consent of counsel is not sufficient to bind the prisoner on a trial for misdemeanour when the latter, perhaps, if he so expressly desires, can bind himself, then on a trial for felony where the prisoner ex hypothesi can consent to nothing, the consent of counsel purporting to be given on the prisoner's behalf can be of no avail. I am unfortunately then compelled to the conclusion that there was a grave irregularity running through the whole conduct of the trial; an irregularity which was beyond the competence of the prisoners or of their counsel to waive or condone, and which is sufficiently serious to vitiate the whole proceedings. It necessarily follows that I must hold that there was a mis-trial, and that the conviction should therefore be quashed. I have arrived at this result perhaps by reasoning along somewhat narrow and technical lines, but in a case of this importance, it is urgently necessary to keep fundamental principles rigidly in view. On general grounds, however, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the present case, I venture to think my conclusion is based upon the broad principles of justice.\n\nFor the purposes of the judgment, I have assumed throughout that counsel for the prisoners was consciously aware of the irregularity that was being committed. As a matter of fact, however, I should think it exceedingly unlikely that it came to Mr. Calthrop's notice while the evidence for the Crown was being given that evidence was not being interpreted to his clients. He was entitled to assume, as the Court and the Attorney-General must have assumed, that the proceedings were being regularly conducted, and that everything that the law required would be done. It appears as if the irregularity escaped his notice altogether up to the middle of the case for the defence, when he very properly reserved the point and took time to consider the suggestion thrown out by the Court. It would clearly be a monstrous thing, if, when men were being tried for their lives, the Crown was entitled to reply that it was the duty of counsel to notice earlier what was going on, and that because he had not done so, an objection of such weight must be overruled as coming too late in the proceedings.\n\nNow, again, is it possible to hold that the prisoners, unlettered and ignorant men, had any notion that they were consciously abandoning a right the law entitled them to claim? Suppose the case of an Englishman who should be on trial on a capital charge when travelling in a foreign country, of whose language and procedure he was entirely ignorant. Suppose that, either by the efforts of his friends or by the good offices of the foreign government, he should be provided with an advocate to assist him at the trial. Surely the first request of an educated man possessing the least familiarity with courts of law would be that the whole of the evidence at the trial should be carefully interpreted to him. If, being illiterate, he should through ignorance or timidity refrain from making that request, and forbear calling the attention of his advocate to the matter, surely he would not think it consonant with the principles of justice for him to be told after conviction that he had waived his rights by not insisting on them earlier, and that having already heard the gist of the evidence at the preliminary proceedings in an inferior court, he had not in fact any real cause of complaint.\n\n## The Chief Justice \nThe convictions **must be quashed**.\n\n176 \n\n## The Attorney-General \nHaving regard to your Lordship's decision I have now to say that I intend preferring an indictment on the charge of murder against both prisoners.\n\n## The Chief Justice \nYou are at liberty to do that. The administration of the criminal law is in your hands, and you may instruct the police as you think fit.\n\nMr. Calthrop asked for the discharge of the prisoners.\n\n## The Chief Justice \nI have discharged them. Mr. Calthrop stated that in a case recently decided by the Court of Crown Cases Reserved it was held that prisoners could not be re-tried after their discharge.\n\n## The Attorney-General \nMy friend can argue that when the case comes on for trial.\n\nThe prisoners were re-arrested leaving Court.\n\nWhen the decision of the Full Court was given in the Peak Murder trial yesterday quashing the verdict of the jury, the prisoners left the dock and sat down in the body of the Court. Before the Chief Justice left the bench, he drew attention to another irregularity. The prisoners had not been told that they were discharged, and the Court interpreter was instructed to inform them. When he told them that they were liberated, they passed out of the Court, but were re-arrested before they left the precincts of the Court.",

        "content_text": "## SANITARY INSTITUTE, HEALTH PRIZE PRESENTATION\n\nThe Hongkong Daily Press, on the 13 preceding days, reported that the number of deaths was 38, and out of that, just about one half had died of infectious diseases. That, gentlemen, is a standing reproach to this Colony, and I am convinced we shall never succeed in putting a stop to it until we get the co-operation of the Chinese, and get them to show us how we can stop this thing without wounding their prejudices and violating the sanctity of domestic life. That is why I say to you that I hope those who have gained all the represented technical knowledge which is borne in mind by these certificates will bear in mind that a very great deal can be done by tact, common sense, and a little give and take in their dealings with those on whom they have to impress the primary laws of sanitation.\n\nThe local branch has done good work in trying to get the community to understand the value of sanitation, and to try to get them to work with us, and not to work against us. Mr. Carter is still the life and soul of the branch; he has all along had the interests of the branch at heart and has done all in his power to foster it. Our thanks are due especially to him and also to our local Secretary, Mr. Ralphs.\n\nA new departure has recently been made whereby lectures on special subjects shall be delivered at the room of the Institute by competent lecturers. These are open to anyone to attend. The President of the Hongkong Branch, His Excellency the Governor, who was supported by Lady Lugard, presided at the distribution of prizes of the Hongkong Sanitary Institute held two days ago.\n\nHis Excellency, in addressing the gathering, said: \"Gentlemen,—As Chairman of the Examiners, I thought it would be of interest to review the work accomplished by the local branch of the Royal Sanitary Institute since its formation five years ago, especially in connection with this movement to present the certificates. There are twelve in all; seven were obtained at the January Examination last year and five at the October Examination. Since then, a regular course of six lectures has been delivered, the attendants numbered 3441, giving an average of Inspectors' lectures. In addition to the lectures, practical demonstrations have been given at the Nuisance Depot and Slaughter Houses by Mr. Gibson and at the Station by Drs. Clark and Pearse. Visits have also been paid to the New Kowloon Waterworks, Green Island Cement Works, Aberdeen Brick and Electric Power Station, Wanchai Dairy Farm, and to new buildings under construction, etc.\n\nLectures on various practical subjects have been given by Messrs. Joseph Albert Buller, Harry Counts, Thomas Hynes, Robert Gardiner McEwan, Charles Walter Thornton Brett (Sanitary Dept.), John Mackay, and Samuel Robert Boyd Willis (Police Force), George Sergeant Major Hutton, and Sergeants Walter Henry Jones and Harry Williams (R.A.M.C.).\n\nThe following candidates have passed the Sanitary Science Examination: Mr. Albert Victor Parker, Public Works Department.\n\nThe following have lectured on Food Inspection: Messrs. Williams & Shinkwio, Mr. Gibson, Veterinary Surgeon, and Dr. Clark, Darby, and Grey of the P.W.D.\n\nThe Council have arranged a Syllabus for those who intend to become Sanitary Officers. The practical examination is for those who wish to obtain from the Institute a certificate certifying their knowledge of Sanitary Science. The Local Government Board, London, accepts this certificate as evidence that the person possessing it is qualified for the office of Inspector of Nuisances by urban or rural district councils outside London; it is also recognized by the Local Government Boards in Edinburgh and Dublin.\n\nThe following officers of the Sanitary Department have passed the Examination for Inspector of Nuisances since the formation of the local branch: J. Reid, W. H. Jolley, G. W. Coysh, C. W. Ward, R. Loan, C. E. Frith, D. J. Mokerzie, D. J. Falloran, R. G. McEwen, H. Coombs, J. A. W. Brett, T. Hynes, J. Mackay (since transferred to P.W.D.), G. Willis (since transferred to Police Dept.); H. J. Gidley, S. Gilley (who have left the Colony).\n\nThe following officers of the Public Works Department have passed this Examination: Messrs. Longstaff and S. R. Boyd.\n\nThe following officers of the R.A.M.C. have also been successful: Sergeant Major Hutton, and Sergeants Williams and Jones.\n\nSeveral candidates from the Army are attending the present course of lectures.\n\nThe following candidates in private employment have passed the Examination: Messrs. H. Lett, Naval Yard Extension Works; G. Phew, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire; C. Langton, Naval Yard; J. B. Winter, Hongkong Gas Company.\n\nIn all, there have been 39 candidates, 26 of whom were successful, a percentage of 66.6 passes.\n\nAt the conclusion of the presentation, His Excellency said: \"Ladies and gentlemen, it is some years now since certificates won by students of the Hongkong Branch of the Royal Sanitary Institute have been distributed publicly. The last occasion was, I think, in 1904, and on that occasion, my predecessor made a long speech in which he told you generally of the objects of the institution and the work which had been done. It was instituted in 1903 on the suggestion of Mr. Carter, and it took shape owing to the energy and organizing ability of its President, Dr. Atkinson, and of various other members of the Body of Examiners, many of whom are still on the Board.\n\n\"I think, gentlemen, that the value of an institution like this, affiliated to a great institution in England, is immense. The certificates can be obtained here and are recognized throughout the British Empire, and they can be obtained without the expense of a voyage home to a higher standard than the Inspection in England. They can be obtained in their leisure hours of the evening by the men who are still doing their work and earning their salaries. These are very great advantages.\n\n\"The Hongkong Branch has led the way in adopting that great principle of affiliation with institutions in England, which I think is of immense advantage to the Colonies, and of which I should like myself to see the Colonies take much more advantage. It is the principle which underlies the Oxford Local Examinations which we have in our schools here; it is the principle upon which the Hongkong College of Medicine intends to frame its future; and it is, as Dr. Atkinson said, the principle which I hope will find still further expression in the Hongkong University of the future (applause).\n\n\"The Sanitary Department of the Government absorbs a great deal of the revenue of the Colony, and consequently has a very considerable staff, and there are architects, builders, and others in the Colony who also require certificated engineers, and the number of these appointments offers inducements to candidates to come and learn and obtain certificates at this branch of the Royal Sanitary Institution.\n\n\"I think, therefore, that the governing body of the Board of Examiners of the Hongkong Branch may feel that they are rendering a great public benefit to the Colony, and I think that our thanks are most heartily due to the body of gentlemen who give their time and thought gratuitously, without any remuneration, to conducting these lectures day by day on these difficult subjects (applause).\n\n\"When I look, as I did just now, at this syllabus of lectures, the different themes of the lecturers appear to me to be so practical and so sound that I honestly wish I had the time myself to be admitted and to come and learn some of these things and endeavour to obtain a certificate (applause).\n\n\"I will not speak to you, gentlemen, now, on the necessity of encouraging sanitation in Hongkong; I will not give you a discourse on the lessons to be learned from the great outbreak of plague or of the great value of having an object lesson here in Hongkong for China. All these are great subjects, but they have grown somewhat hackneyed, and you have heard them discussed by speakers who have more authority than I have.\n\n\"I will only refer briefly to the labours of the Sanitary Commission who have spent their private time and laid this Colony under a great debt of gratitude to them. You have heard, no doubt, a great deal of discussion on their report, and I can tell you you are likely to hear a good deal more within the next week or two.\n\n\"There is only one point which I will allude to before I sit down, and it is this: I will say to those gentlemen I have just had the honour and pleasure of presenting with these certificates, that in their greater wealth of sanitary knowledge, they should not lose sight of the saving grace of common sense (applause). I think that sensible toleration is the most valuable sense a man can have; our rules are good, but not always easy to realize. By the exercise of common sense, a little give and take, and tact, men may often achieve results that are more valuable than all the rules of the text books. You may obtain these results without wounding the prejudices of others. It is your business here to endeavour to impress upon the Chinese community the value of sanitation.\n\n\"The local branch is now established in a suitable room at 7, Beaconsfield Arcade, where members can study. It is here that the lectures are given, and we have the nucleus of a library there. Another important fact is that it is now self-supporting. Generally speaking, the work of the Institute has been well supported.\n\nA vote of thanks to His Excellency, proposed by Mr. Parkins, seconded by Mr. Owen, was carried in the usual way, ended the proceedings.",

This refers to A-2 balance $82.93. Having regard to the nature of the items this seems improbable, but anyhow Mr. Williams has not paid it. He appears to intend to make some sort of counter claim. I have seen Messrs. Brewer who assert emphatically that the goods were supplied to the Victoria School. But if Mr. Williams pays, we need trouble ourselves no further in the matter.\n\nMr. Williams apparently intends to communicate again with the Colonial Secretary's Office with the intention of proving that I made false statements about him actuated by personal ill-will. I trust that he may be called upon to do so without delay.\n\nThe second letter marked B. Mr. Williams says that these items are also for his private account, and have been paid for. He does not say whether he holds a receipt. I do not know how these vouchers came to be presented at the Office, as they came in after I left.

Passing of emigrants does not take place daily but only according to sailing of ships carrying emigrants. At the Harbour Office, only those emigrants classed as free are passed, indentured labourers, women and children being passed at the\n\nRegistrar-General's Department.\n\nOnly free (or unassisted) emigrants are presumed to\n\npass at the Harbour Office, but from the appearance of some of them it seems very highly probable that many assisted emigrants\n\nare passed\n\nAs regards emigrants for Canada the U.S.A. and Australia, These countries, and the steamship lines carrying them to destination, take such particular precautions to see that none evade the Stringent immigration laws of these countries, that the examination at the Harbour Office is unnecessary and need only be such as to be the minimum requirements.",

        "content_text": "[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n6\n\nVotre Altesse ajoutait qu'elle allait demander des explications à l'Administration de l'Octroi.\n\nLes plaintes devenant plus nombreuses, le corps diplomatique a, de nouveau, examiné la question, et mes collègues me chargent de présenter à votre Altesse les observations et les déclarations suivantes:-\n\nLa perception de taxes particulières sur les marchandises d'importation étrangères munies de passes de transit est absolument contraire aux traités. Il est, en effet, nettement stipulé dans ceux-ci que ces marchandises ne peuvent être frappées d'aucune taxe intérieure de quelque nature que ce soit, et en quelque lieu que ce soit.\n\nLa taxe dite d'octroi\" perçue à Fengtaï est donc une innovation contraire aux traités, et par conséquent tout à fait illégale; le Gouvernement Impérial n'avait pas plus le droit de l'établir qu'il n'a celui de modifier l'une quelconque des stipulations des traités sans un accord préalable avec les Puissances. Le corps diplomatique est donc résolu à ne l'admettre à aucun degré.\n\nLe traitement appliqué, d'autre part, aux marchandises d'importation étrangère, destinées à l'intérieur même de la ville de Pékin, n'est pas moins illégal.\n\nEn ce qui les concerne, le corps diplomatique doit, tout d'abord, protester contre la défense qui a été faite au Commissaire des Douanes maritimes Impériales de Tien-tsin, de délivrer des passes de transit aux marchandises étrangères destinées à la ville même de Pékin. Cette défense ne peut se justifier en aucune manière; elle est contraire aux accords de la Chine avec les Puissances; il est donc nécessaire que le Gouvernement Impérial donne des ordres pour que les passes de transit réglementaires soient accordées aux marchandises étrangères adressées à Pékin.\n\nEn second lieu, il n'est pas moins certain que la taxe d'octroi\" illégale à Fengtai, l'est, au même degré, à Pékin même.\n\nToutefois, considérant que les droits perçus à l'entrée des murs de la ville ont pu être, en effet, tolérés, pour diverses raisons, depuis un certain temps, les représentants des Puissances ne se refuseraient pas à envisager la possibilité d'admettre sur ce point un arrangement avec le Gouvernement Impérial.\n\nCet arrangement serait établi sur les bases suivantes :\n\n1. La perception d'une taxe d'“octroi” sur les marchandises de provenance étrangère serait strictement limitée à la ville de Pékin, c'est-à-dire à l'étendue habitée entourée par les murailles.\n\n2. La taxe ne devrait pas dépasser le taux actuel de 3 pour cent ad valorem et devrait être calculée sur l'évaluation faite par les agents des douanes maritimes, telle qu'elle serait portée sur les passes de transit et suivant le cours du Haïkouan tael. Le calcul serait établi de telle façon que la taxe ne puisse jamais dépasser les trois cinquièmes des droits d'entrée actuellement payés par les marchandises étrangères aux douanes maritimes. La perception de la taxe ne pourrait avoir lieu qu'aux portes même de la ville.\n\n3. La taxe ne serait applicable qu'aux seuls commerçants.\n\n4. Les agents de l'Administration de l'Octroi devraient tenir pour exactes les déclarations portées sur les passes de transit. Leur rôle se bornerait à vérifier si les colis présentés sont bien ceux indiqués sur la passe de transit; ils devraient s'abstenir de toute perquisition intérieure.\n\n5. La concession ainsi faite par les Puissances ne pourrait, en aucun cas, être invoquée par le Gouvernement Impérial pour prétendre établir des taxes d'octroi ou autres quelconques aux marchandises étrangères sur aucun point de l'Empire.\n\n0\n\nAFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[23858]\n\nSir,\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[July 4]\n\nSECTION 4.\n\nMr. Max Müller to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received July 4.) (No. 197.)\n\nPeking, June 15, 1910.\n\nWITH reference to my despatch No. 193 of the 11th instant, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith a copy of a despatch from His Majesty's consul at Changsha commenting further upon the situation in that city, and stating that the condition of affairs there is even more threatening now than it was before the recent outbreak.\n\nMr. Hewlett is certainly very pessimistic as to the immediate future, but I cannot help feeling that the impression of his still recent experiences and his evident disappointment that the gentry were not more severely dealt with, and that it has proved impossible to take advantage of the disturbances to force a settlement of the questions to which he has devoted so much trouble and labour, incline him to take too gloomy a view of the situation. He is, perhaps, also rather prone to interfere in matters which concern the Chinese authorities rather than His Majesty's consulate.\n\nIt appears to me that, in regard to the masons' and carpenters' guilds, we should for the present rest content if there is no further interference with the construction of the new consulate.\n\nAs regards the pretensions of the gentry and provincial assembly, I would prefer to wait and see how the new governor will deal with these pretensions before endorsing all that Mr. Hewlett says on the subject. The provincial assembly is, I understand, to meet shortly in special session, and this may bring matters to a head, and show whether Hunan is to be governed from Peking through the governor or by the assembly and the gentry.\n\nIt is quite natural that alarmist rumours should continue to fly about in Changsha, and that the work of the gangs of bandits, who are still active in Hunan, should be exaggerated, but, to judge from the accounts received from other sources, I feel that Mr. Hewlett is hardly justified in writing of the \"present absence of any effective precautions on the part of the provincial authorities.\"\n\nOn receipt of Mr. Hewlett's telegram of the 10th June, which I repeated to you in my telegram No. 111 of the 11th June, I made private enquiries of the Wai-wu Pu whether they had any confirmatory information. Two days later they communicated to me the enclosed telegram from the governor, which would appear to prove that Mr. Hewlett's information had not been quite accurate, and that such troubles as had occurred had been adequately dealt with by the authorities.\n\nI have already stated my opinion that the penalties inflicted on the four members of the gentry should have been more in keeping with the forcible and outspoken indictment of their conduct in the memorial, and I took an opportunity of expressing this opinion yesterday at the Wai-wu Pu, when I suggested that a good way to make the gentry suffer would be to make them disgorge a portion of their ill-gotten gains to pay the indemnity claims. I explained that my object in making this suggestion was not vindictive; all we desired was that the Chinese Government should assure us that the penalties inflicted and the measures adopted would prove a sufficient deterrent to prevent similar outbreaks in the future.\n\nI added that it was a matter for regret that the second decree, replying to the protest of the assembly (see my despatch No. 193 of the 11th June), had not been published. Liu Yu-lin, with whom I was talking, replied that it was couched in the severest and most imperative terms, and would be sure to have a good effect. I replied that that only made it all the more regrettable that it had not been made public. I then proceeded to express the hope that in future our treaty rights would not be set at naught by the Changsha gentry as had hitherto been the case, and that when we applied to the Central Government for redress they would prove equal to giving us justice and not allow themselves to be openly defied by the gentry.\n\nMr. Liu begged me not to raise any question unnecessarily just at present, but to give the governor time to consolidate his position; as to future disturbances, he assured me that the Government felt that they were masters of the situation, and were equal to preventing any...\n\n[2827 d-4]\n\nB\n\n395",

        "content_text": "Foochow The taotai's visit was made in the early part of January. He travelled in the steamer \"Shutung,\" which was specially chartered for the purpose, with a large retinue and some soldiers, making a stay of some ten days in Foochow.\n\nInspection of the crops seems only to have been carried out near the city and along some of the high roads. In these places the farmers either concealed the plants then but a few inches above the ground by covering them with soil or rooted them up voluntarily, but in so tender a fashion that all could be replanted when the inspection was over.\n\nThe taotai was thus able to send a good report regarding what he saw to the Viceroy. How much it was worth may be judged by the fact that large quantities of opium were to be seen growing without any attempt at concealment on both banks of the Yang-tsze, the main highway, for some 210 li (70 miles) in the Foochow jurisdiction when Mr. Claxton passed down in April.\n\nThe magistrate in charge at the time of the taotai's visit was dismissed and sentenced to a fine of 10,000 taels, which has not yet been paid.\n\nHis successor issued proclamations, couched in fitting terms, regarding the suppression of cultivation, but found himself powerless to carry them out and to uproot any of the poppy which was growing everywhere throughout his jurisdiction. To save his face he gave out that it was all to be uprooted within sixty days, an order which has been scrupulously obeyed, the time limit being one within which the crop would have been harvested and the soil prepared for the usual spring crops in any circumstances.\n\nThe consequence is that nearly as much poppy was grown during the 1909-10 season in the Foochow district as before the orders for a reduction in the amount cultivated were issued, and the people have been allowed to remain in possession of their harvest, all with impunity.\n\nFoochow has never taken the anti-opium movement seriously; the viceregal proclamation prohibiting cultivation is not regarded otherwise than as a nominal order. In this view the people have been confirmed by the result of the taotai's visit, which has proved to have been worse than useless. Flagrant disobedience has gone unpunished and the people have every intention, which they openly announce, of continuing the cultivation next season. The feeling seems to be that if so high an official as the taotai, with a foreign steamer and troops to aid him, could do nothing this year a visit from the Viceroy next year will probably have a like result.\n\nIn Wanhsien, Chungchou, and P'a shun ssu (to the west of Chungchou), Nanchuan and Changshou, very little opium has been grown during the 1909-10 season, and that only in secluded spots. This confirms the information given in my report of the 28th February in regard to all these places, and, in the case of Changshou, is corroborated by Père Lorain.\n\nIn Fengtu, according to Père Lorain's information—based, as stated before, on native reports—about half as much as usual has been grown; but Mr. Claxton, on the strength of personal observation, thinks that the amount which has been cultivated is very much less.\n\nIn Tienchiang, Père Lorain states that little progress has been made, which contradicts the information given in my report of the 28th February, where the district is credited with no opium at all.\n\nIn Shih Chu most of the opium was stated to have been cut down in January, while Père Lorain says there is as much as formerly, except near the high roads. Mr. Claxton tells me that in many places in this district the opium crop is abnormally late. This is due to the fact that farmers at first prepared their fields to sow other crops; later, seeing the impunity with which Foochow was allowed to cultivate opium, they changed their minds at the last moment and sowed poppy.\n\nAt Yu Yang, Père Lorain states that 80 per cent. of the poppy planted has been cut down.\n\nMissionaries who travelled in the south-west district of Eastern Szechuan from Suining, through the Hochou T'ungliang and neighbouring magistracies during the flowering season tell me that no poppy was then to be seen.\n\nMr. Claxton says that in all the magistracies bordering on Foochow, the impunity with which that place has been allowed to disobey the Viceroy's proclamation and the futile result of the taotai's visit has had a very bad effect. Farmers make no secret of their intention to try and cultivate poppy next season, and quantities of seeds are now being bought by them in Foochow for the purpose.\n\nIn these circumstances, if the existing policy of totally suppressing cultivation next season is pursued, the elements of possible trouble present themselves—trouble which would the more easily break out should landowners not meet the wishes of cultivators by effecting a considerable reduction in rentals, to pay which the farmer has hitherto relied on his opium crop.\n\nWhile the information above given does not entirely coincide with all that was stated in my report of the 28th February, it does not vary the general assertion which was made in it—that there has been an immense reduction in the cultivation of the poppy during the 1909-10 season in the district of Eastern Szechuan as a whole, a conclusion drawn with the fact in view that the production in Foochow would probably be nearly as great as in previous years.\n\nIn this conclusion Père Lorain agrees, and the actual state of affairs would seem to be best expressed in his words: \"Il résulte de l'enquête faite parmi le clergé indigène que la culture du pavot a disparu entièrement de presque tout le Szetchouen oriental. Il y a, cependant, plusieurs sous-préfectures dans lesquelles le pavot existe et même est cultivé sur le même pied que les années dernières.\"\n\nAPPENDIX.\n\nReport drawn up (from information given by Native Priests) by Père Lorain, Procureur of the Mission catholique at Chungking.\n\nIl résulte de l'enquête faite parmi le clergé indigène que la culture du pavot a disparu entièrement de presque tout le Szetchouen oriental. Il y a, cependant, plusieurs sous-préfectures dans lesquelles le pavot existe et même est cultivé sur le même pied que les années dernières; parmi ces districts Fouchou tient la première place.\n\nMalgré le voyage du taotai, on trouve le pavot partout et en grande quantité. Le peuple, bien malgré lui, s'est contenté d'arracher les plants qui étaient trop en évidence sur les bords du grand fleuve ou le long des grandes routes, ce qui a diminué la culture d'environ un dixième. Le mandarin a été cassé et puni d'une amende de 10,000 taels. Son successeur (qui n'est qu'intérimaire) a fait quelques voyages à travers les campagnes et, ne pouvant faire détruire le pavot, a proposé au Vice-Roi d'imposer chaque once d'opium de 200 sapèques dans le but d'amasser ainsi une bonne somme d'argent qui serait distribué au mois d'octobre aux cultivateurs qui cesseraient cette culture. Le Vice-Roi a rejeté la proposition, a ordonné de détruire le pavot, ce que le mandarin n'ose pas faire.\n\nDans la sous-préfecture de Tien chiang le sous-préfet a travaillé en vain pour obtenir une diminution de la culture du pavot. Les notables n'ont pas écouté ses avis, les cultivateurs ont semé le pavot comme les années précédentes et ont refusé d'arracher les plants. Donc peu ou point de progrès dans cette sous-préfecture.\n\nA Fengtu, malgré édits et proclamations lancés de bonne heure, les semailles du pavot se sont faites comme autrefois. Le sous-préfet a lui-même parcouru les campagnes, fait détruire les plants le long des routes parcourues, convoqué les notables, puni des délinquants, menacé les réfractaires, et malgré ce vrai surmenage n'a réussi qu'à détruire ou faire disparaître la moitié de cette culture.\n\nA Shih Chu le pavot a été aussi semé comme les années dernières. Le mandarin a fait arracher les plants qui se trouvaient près des grandes routes. Partout ailleurs dans les montagnes et les plaines un peu éloignées des grands centres la culture du pavot est aussi intense qu'autrefois.\n\nA Chang shou on ne trouve de pavot que sur les confins de Tien chiang et Lin shui dans les ravins cachés par les montagnes. La culture n'est pas entièrement détruite mais le plus possible à l'abri des regards.\n\nA Yu Yang le pavot a été semé en grande quantité. Le préfet de Yu yang a fait arracher la majeure partie des plants. Pour lui tous les moyens ont été bons, il a accepté la délation, a récompensé satellites ou gens du peuple qui lui ont indiqué des plantations de pavot. Actuellement les huit dixièmes des plants ont disparu.\n\nPartout, c'est-à-dire dans tous les districts, on a semé le pavot, et s'il a été détruit presque partout, on le doit surtout à la jalousie des cultivateurs. Ceux dont l'espoir d'une récolte d'opium était disparu, parce que les plants de pavot avaient été détruits par le mandarin, se sont acharnés à anéantir la culture de leurs voisins, sûrs qu'ils étaient de l'impunité.\n\nJ. LORAIN.\n\nChungking, le 18 avril, 1910.\n\n443",

        "content_text": "# Diplomatic Corps in Peking\n\nSweden. - Wallenberg, the Swedish Minister, is accredited also to Japan, where he resides nearly all the year round, only coming to Peking for a few weeks in the spring. He belongs to the banking family of Wallenberg, in Stockholm. He is a most charming man socially, but a small negotiation in which I had to assist him in the spring did not give me a great idea of his powers as a diplomatist.\n\nPortugal. - Baron Sendal, the Portuguese Minister, and M. de Brederode, the Portuguese chargé d'affaires, have already been described by Sir John Jordan, in his despatch No. 159 of the 17th April, 1909. Both Sir John and I suffered greatly during last winter and spring from M. Brederode's \"great dread of responsibility,\" which took the form of an insuperable reluctance to send a telegram to his Government, or address a note to the Wai-wu Pu, unless it had received the imprimatur or approval of the British Legation. In spite of that, he would sometimes confess to me that he had sat up half the night cyphering to his Government an article from the \"Peking Daily News\" which contained the usual course of abuse of Portugal and everything Portuguese.\n\nRussia. - I have nothing to add to Sir John Jordan's remarks about M. Korostovetz, the Russian Minister, whom I have found a most obliging colleague, straightforward, and willing to impart information. I have reported, in recent despatches, how disgusted M. Korostovetz was with the failure of the policy of conciliation which he had pursued, under instructions, since his arrival in Peking, and he expressed himself very freely on the ingratitude of the Chinese before his departure, on leave, in June.\n\nMme. Korostovetz left Peking last autumn, and it is rumoured that she would not return on account of marital differences. Socially, their presence or absence makes no difference in Peking, as they entertain very little except in the way of giving a few very large dinners where, in order to do off as many persons as possible at a time, the guests are placed so close at table that neighbours have to take it in turn to eat. The whole Russian staff keeps very much to itself, and mingles little in general diplomatic society.\n\nM. Stchékine, who is at present in charge, is an uncouth but undoubtedly very able man. He was formerly head of the Far Eastern department in the Russian Foreign Office. He is not on good terms with his chief, and is working for all he is worth to snatch as many laurels as possible during M. Korostovetz's brief absence.\n\nJapan. - Mr. Ijuin, the Japanese Minister, has also been described by Sir John Jordan. I have found Mr. Ijuin a most obliging and helpful colleague, always willing to give advice and information to a degree unusual in a Japanese diplomatist. He certainly exercises the greatest influence of any Minister here, and his intimacy with the Grand Secretary Na'tung, President of the Wai-wu Pu, further strengthens the obvious advantages that the representative of Japan has over his colleagues. He has lately gone into a large new legation house, and, assisted by Mme. Ijuin and a numerous staff, does his social duties very well, though unfortunately, outside official business, it is difficult to have many interests in common with him.\n\nHolland. - The Dutch Minister, M. Beelaerts van Blokland, is an amiable man with no striking characteristics. He has no work to do beyond settling the minor questions which arise over the Chinese living in the Dutch East Indies, and he also takes a certain interest in the conservancy of the Whangpoo, owing to the chief engineer being a Dutchman. Before coming to Peking as Minister, he was secretary to the States-General at The Hague, and owes his appointment, I understand, to the court influence of his wife, who was a lady-in-waiting.\n\nBrazil. - M. Gonçalves Pereira, the Brazilian Minister, is also accredited to Japan, and has not been in Peking this year.\n\nFrance. - M. de Margerie, the new French Minister, is an old friend of mine, as we were together for nearly six years in Constantinople. He is a delightful man of the world, of considerable experience and of great culture, and it is as pleasant to transact business with him as it is to be a guest in his house. He has charming manners, always does the right thing, and is totally free from affectation or punctiliousness. M. de Margerie is ready at any time to co-operate loyally and frankly with his colleagues, and he brings to the discussion of any question the qualities of sound mind and temperate judgment. In the entertainments which he frequently gives, he is ably seconded by his wife, who is a sister of Edmond Rostand, and who has brought into the somewhat uniform and commonplace symphony of Peking society a welcome note of originality. M. de Margerie has managed to group round him a delightful staff, and altogether the French Legation is far the most attractive of the foreign legations, and is the centre of social activity in Peking.\n\nSpain. - Spain is certainly most unfortunate in her choice of representatives in Peking. M. de Carcer, who left last year, was socially agreeable and very popular, but there is little doubt that his sudden recall was due to the fact that his Government became aware of the more than lenient attitude which he adopted towards gambling hells and other like resorts opened by Spanish subjects in the various treaty ports. M. de Pastor, his successor, came from Washington last January, and brought with him an attractive American wife, who, however, could not stand the society of her lord and master for more than a few weeks, when she returned to America. Not one of my colleagues has a good word to say for M. de Pastor, who, while his wife was here, went about a good deal, till his strong partiality to over-indulgence in alcoholic refreshment became generally known. Now he is never seen, but appears to sit at home and drink by himself, and hardly ever goes outside the door of his legation.\n\nThe United States of America. - It is difficult as yet to give any definite opinion as to the new American Minister, Mr. Calhoun. He arrived at a time when American interests in China had been subjected to a process of forced hot-house culture, under the immediate superintendence of a triumvirate of three energetic but inexperienced men, representing in order of influence the press, finance, and diplomacy, namely: Mr. Ohl, the correspondent of the \"New York Herald,\" Mr. Straight, the representative of the American financial group, and Mr. Fletcher, the American chargé d'affaires. The immediate result of the new departure in American policy appeared at the time of Mr. Calhoun's arrival to be the indefinite postponement of the construction of the Hankow-Canton and Hankow-Szechuan railways, and the closer association of Russia and Japan for the protection of their interests in Manchuria. Mr. Calhoun's task had not been facilitated by the indiscreet declarations of Mr. Crane and the consequent cancellation of that gentleman's appointment as Minister here. Like Mr. Crane, Mr. Calhoun hails from Chicago, where he practised as a corporation lawyer. He appears to be a quiet, retiring man, with a mind of his own. He is much disappointed with Peking, which is evidently very different from what his imagination painted it, and he has been in poor health since his arrival here, and openly deplores his folly in leaving the comforts of his native city, at the age of 62, for such strange and uncongenial surroundings. He does not understand a word of French, and at the meetings of the diplomatic body, he sits next to me in order to have everything translated. He frankly confesses that he understands very little of most of the questions discussed, but is very conscientious and wishes to form his own opinion by his own independent study and observation. He appears to me to be scrupulously honest and straightforward, and, if he recovers his health, ought to prove an agreeable and interesting colleague.\n\nMrs. Calhoun is, I am given to understand, a literary lady, but she has hitherto appeared very little among her colleagues, principally, I suppose, on account of Mr. Calhoun's state of health, but she has every intention of doing her duty as a diplomatic hostess.\n\nItaly. - The new Italian Minister, M. Barilari, arrived just at the commencement of the hot summer. He is a man of 68, who has spent all his official life at the Foreign Office in Rome, where he occupied a post corresponding to that of chief clerk. The legation here was offered to him under the impression that he would be sure to refuse and could then be retired. To everyone's surprise, he accepted. He already regrets the ease and comfort of the Italian capital, and is so loud in his complaints of the disadvantages of Peking that the members of his staff attend at his house with reluctance. His knowledge of French is limited, and he is manifestly very ill-suited to his post, but fortunately, Italian interests in China are of small importance. Mme. Barilari talks French even worse than her husband, and is not likely to prove an addition to the diplomatic society of Peking.\n\nBelgium. - M. Cartier de Marchienne, who was for some time secretary of the Belgian Legation in London, has been appointed Belgian Minister here to...\n\nPage 157",

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nIf the Council is to adopt a particular form of business with regard to this Bill, I use the word \"discredited\" in its most complimentary sense, because these two gentlemen urged their opinions on the English Government, who refused to be convinced by them. Why should this Government act upon evidence of that kind? Moreover, if they took the trouble to read Mr. Franklin's minute, they would see that it practically amounts to a general condemnation of all condensed milk as unsuitable for children. Taken as a whole, the minute amounts to quotations from persons—I won't call them faddists—but persons who have particular views, which are not those of the majority and which summarily condemn all condensed milk as being unsuitable for children.\n\nThe proposition that I laid before the Committee is that it lies upon those who assert that it is a danger to the life or health of children in feeding them upon condensed skimmed milk to show there is greater danger than there would be if the children are fed, as some of the witnesses whose names appeared in the sessional paper seemed to think, upon rice water, and other things. Some of the witnesses had said that children were fed upon rice-water pap and other worse stuff. The alternative must be assumed. If words are placed upon these tins of milk, which are within the reach of the poor, and if by reason of those words they are prevented from buying them, the effect must be, not to make the poor buy the more expensive milk, but to drive them to worse things such as rice-water pap.\n\nIt would be farcical for this Council to assume that because the poorer classes are warned against this milk, they will not use it, but would use the condensed whole milk. It is illogical, because if, in the first instance, they are rich enough, they will buy the dearer article. If, on the other hand, they cannot get the cheaper, they will go to something cheaper still. Now, in dealing with this matter, the Colonial Secretary very properly said that the real question was one for experts, and he read to the Council a minute by Mr. Franklin, who may be regarded as the Government's expert on the subject.\n\nIf your Excellency and gentlemen of the Council will look at that minute, you will find that it simply consists of two quotations from two writers upon the subject, the two writers who for the last ten or fifteen years have been urging His Majesty's Government in England to pass legislation on the subject. I am almost entitled to say that Mr. Franklin's minute is based upon the evidence of two discredited experts. I cannot conceive how it is possible to say that if the English Government could be justified in refusing a label to be attached to condensed skimmed milk, how it is that this Government is justified in not taking a similar course, which I suggest should now be taken by deleting the words \"Should not be given to children under one year of age.\"\n\nAll the evidence quoted by Mr. Franklin was given in 1896, 1899, 1900, and 1908, before various Commissions, and that, notwithstanding all that, no legislative action in England followed. What is the logical conclusion? Surely it is that Mr. Franklin's witnesses, as I may call them, the gentlemen whose opinions he states, do not accurately represent the views of the majority of opinion in England. We know that a large section of the community regard as anathema condensed milk and condensed whole milk, and notwithstanding that fact, the majority must be of the contrary view, because, as I submit, it is inconceivable that H.M. Government would have for fifteen years declined to legislate if it were true that condensed skimmed milk as a food is a danger to the life and health of children.\n\nYou will find in that minute that Mr. Franklin states that it means \"starvation and death.\" If you make reference to the letter in the Hongkong Daily Press, written by a firm in this Colony interested in the sale of a rival product, you will find that the matter was brought up in the House of Commons and the President of the Local Government Board was questioned in 1909 on the subject as to what the Government proposed to do. The quotation is here in the Dairy World. The President replied that he was aware that condensed skimmed milk was deleterious to infants, and it might be found on consideration that a case had been made out for requiring a special label calling attention to the fact.\n\nIn July, 1908, when Mr. Masterman, the President of the Local Government Board, was pressed upon the subject, he expressed his own opinion that the milk was deleterious, and perhaps a case might be made out after enquiries. Well, we are now in the year 1911, and I submit that it is only reasonable to assume that had it been possible to make out a case, such as had been presented to Mr. Masterman, the legislation which was asked for would have been introduced into the House of Commons and become law long before now. The only inference possible is that on consideration, it had been found that a case had not been made out for requiring a special label.\n\nOur case does not rest upon the destruction of the case for the other side. I wish to read to you extracts of opinions of experts, from which it will appear that this article is a valuable food for infants as well as adults. If you will look at Sessional Paper 6, you will find a minute by Dr. Clark, in which he negatively supports the contention I put before you. He says that \"this milk is most unsuitable for infants unless supplemented by cream, which would be outside the means of people who buy the stuff.\"\n\nOf course, the language in which that gentleman speaks of the milk can hardly be called a judicial weighing of the value of this article. (Laughter.) However, it amounts to this, that it is suitable if supplemented by cream. In other words, it is not accurate to say that condensed skimmed milk should not be given to children under one year of age under any circumstances, whether supplemented with cream or anything else.\n\nTake the evidence of other experts, Drs. Muller, Justi, and Hoch, a respected firm of German doctors here. They state in the sessional paper that the \"milk on which they report is not a perfect substitute for whole milk, but as the poorer class of people are bound to feed their children on a very doubtful class of goods, such as rice water and even worse stuff, because a good and cheap whole milk is not obtainable for them, we are of the opinion that under the circumstances, the Baby Brand milk is very fit for use as a substitute for cow's milk.\"\n\nSurely you must give some attention to such an expression of opinion. Here is a firm of doctors well-known in the community pledging their professional reputation to the fact that where you cannot get better, where you are not rich enough to buy condensed whole milk, that condensed skimmed milk is a good substitute for cow's milk.\n\nAnother precedent has been quoted by the writer of that letter, who are the agents of the Anglo-Swiss Company. That precedent is Jamaica. It is true that in Jamaica in 1908, legislation took place, and words almost identical to those objected to in the Bill before the House had been inserted. That precedent means nothing more than that, while the British Government was taking time to consider whether a case had been made out to provide for legislation for such a label, the Jamaican Government hastily adopted the proposal.\n\nThe Jamaican Government could have had no better medical advice than was available for Mr. Masterman. Jamaica is indeed the only one of the widespread British communities which has legislated in the direction suggested. Surely this is a strong argument against the action which the Committee is asked to take? I submit, therefore, that you will do a serious injury to an important trade if you pass this Bill as it stands.\n\nThere is a duty, and a high duty, upon condensed milk and condensed skimmed milk, and the duty on the latter is higher. The sole reason for its introduction is that there is a large dairy industry in South Africa, and it was introduced as a protection of the industry and not because it was a danger to the community by feeding children on condensed skimmed milk. There is no legislation of this kind in South Africa.",

Blackhead & Co. \nHongkong, April 6th, 1911 \n\nPresent \n310 \n\nDear Sirs, \n\nAs requested by you, we herewith beg to submit to you our report on your \"Baby\" Brand Milk. \n\nWe start with a parallel between the \"Baby Brand\" Milk, analysed by Messrs. A. S. Watson & Co. Ltd. as per report enclosed, and whole or unskimmed milk, reduced to 87.17% of water, same as the \"Baby Brand\" Milk. \n\n| Constituent | Whole (or unskimmed) Milk | \"Baby Brand\" Milk |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Fat | 3.69% | 0.22% |\n| Proteids | 3.55 | 2.33* |\n| Ash | 0.71 # | 0.44* |\n| Milk Sugar | 4.88 # | ... |\n| Cane Sugar | ----- | 14.30\" |\n| Water | 87.17* | 87.17 N |\n\nThis shows that the richness of fat of the Baby Brand Milk is less compared with the fat of whole milk, so we consider the Baby Brand Milk a skimmed milk. Cane sugar represents in 100 grammes a nutrition of 410 calories, so 14.30 % equal to 59 calories, and this nutritive power gives the Baby Brand Milk at least the same nutrition as whole milk. On the other hand, cane sugar is considered not as good a material for feeding babies as the greater proportion of fat in whole milk. In consequence, Baby Brand Milk is not a perfect substitute for whole milk, but as the poorer class of people are bound to feed the children on a very doubtful class of goods, such as rice and water and even worse stuff, because a good and cheap whole milk is not obtainable for them, we are of the opinion that under the said circumstances the Baby Brand Milk is very fit for use as a substitute for cow's milk. \n\nWe are, \nDear Sirs, Yours Faithfully, \nDrs.

P.\n\nBURMAH Government telegraph as follows:—— \"Heliographic message from Hertz sent about the 8th instant from Hpare states that Hpimaw is reported to have been occupied by 300 Chinese troops. Although it is a matter of conjecture, it is rendered probable by latest information about Chinese troops, as given in my telegram dated the 5th instant, that the 500 modern troops who were diverted at Yungchang have reached Hpimaw, and possibly that there may also be at that place the second 500 troops who were stated to have left Tali on the 1st instant for Tengyueh. Telegraphic instructions have been sent to Hertz by Burmah Government to return to Htawgaw and wait until half battalion 89th Punjabis arrive there. Latter should reach Htawgaw in about four days; they are now advancing from Nangu. On arrival at Htawgaw of half battalion there will be about 400 Native infantry, with two Maxims, as well as 450 military police, at Hertz's disposal. Pending further orders Hertz will halt at Htawgaw, and in the meantime will get all the information he can about position at Hpimaw. The question for consideration is whether, if commanding officer thinks it practicable on information available, combined column should return to Hpimaw and expel Chinese, if necessary by force. Regular troops will be employed on both sides, so that the situation is serious. As stated in your telegram dated the 2nd instant, Sir J. Jordan has informed Chinese Government that we are administering the Hpimaw tract. View of Lieutenant-Governor is that, if it is considered practicable by commanding officer, column should return to Hpimaw and expel Chinese, if necessary by force. Orders to advance to Nangu have been given to a double company of the half battalion at Myitkyina.\"\n\nWe have replied to Burmah Government's telegram as follows:-----\n\n\"Hertz should be instructed to remain until further orders at Htawgaw. Until instructions are received from Government of India no advance to Hpimaw is to be made.\"\n\nIt appears undesirable that a conflict with the Chinese should be provoked except with an overwhelming force by which issue would be placed beyond a doubt. No such force is available, and some doubt as to how many troops there are at Hpimaw appears to exist.\n\nIn these circumstances I think that Hertz should now remain on the defensive. It appears to have been a wise precaution to move a double company from Myitkyina to Nangu.\n\n(Repeated to His Majesty's Minister, Peking.)\n\n[1909 -3  \n-3]\n\nToutefois, considérant que les droits perçus à l'entrée des murs de la ville ont pu être, en effet, tolérés, pour diverses raisons, depuis un certain temps, les représentants des Puissances ne se refuseraient pas à envisager la possibilité d'admettre sur ce point un arrangement avec le Gouvernement Impérial.\n\nCet arrangement serait établi sur les bases suivantes :--\n\n1. La perception d'une taxe d'octroi sur les marchandises de provenance étrangère serait strictement limitée à la ville de Pékin, c'est-à-dire à l'étendue habitée entourée par les murailles.\n2. La taxe ne devrait pas dépasser le taux actuel de 3 pour cent ad valorem et devrait être calculée sur l'évaluation faite par les agents des Douanes maritimes, telle qu'elle serait portée sur les passes de transit et suivant le cours du Haïkouan tael. Le calcul serait établi de telle façon que la taxe ne puisse jamais dépasser les trois cinquièmes des droits d'entrée actuellement payées par les marchandises étrangères aux Douanes maritimes. La perception de la taxe ne pourrait avoir lieu qu'aux portes même de la ville.\n3. La taxe ne serait applicable qu'aux seuls commerçants.\n4. Les agents de l'Administration de l'Octroi devraient tenir pour exactes les déclarations portées sur les passes de transit. Leur rôle se bornerait à vérifier si les colis présentés sont bien ceux indiqués sur la passe de transit; ils devraient s'abstenir de toute perquisition intérieure.\n5. La concession ainsi faite par les Puissances ne pourrait en aucun cas être invoquée par le Gouvernement Impérial pour prétendre établir des taxes d'octroi ou autres quelconques aux marchandises étrangères sur aucun point de l'Empire.\n\nEn priant votre Altesse Impériale de me faire venir bientôt la réponse du Gouvernement Impérial, je saisis, &c.\n\nKUCZYNSKI.\n\n**[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government]**",

There is only one of any real importance \"No. 25\", and that is wrong; no note was required \"accounting for the disappearance of s. II*, there was merely a misprint of \"10\" for \"11\", and the section had not disappeared. \n\nOf the 29 in Volume II, 8 are in the corrigen- \n\n3 -da and 6 in the Index; one had already been mentioned to me,, are criticisms, none of which are of any value; the only real objection in the whole list is to the \"slip\" in the University Ordinance. With the \"slip\" on which No. 11 of 1905 is printed I have, as I have already explained, nothing to do. \n\nThe Attorney-General's list therefore as a serious list of errors disappears entirely. He has only pointed out some additional printer's errors, and a very little considera- \n\n-tion will I have no doubt lead you to the conclusion that they should have been pointed out in quite a different fashion, and in \n\nquite a different spirit. \n\nPrinter's errors in references and short \n\ntitles are I agree objectionable, and I shall treat them in the same spirit that I have treated every other serious error I detected in the process of verification.

At the utmost 3 or 4 only were legitimate criticisms. The animus with which the list had been drawn up was manifest: to make it as long as possible in order to carry out the sarcasm of the heading.\n\nAnnexed to Mr Severn's letter was also a memo. from the Treasurer containing some criticisms, most of which were erroneous. As to the letter itself the hostile spirit which actuated it was manifested by the piling up one on top of the other the errors which I knew of and those which had been alleged but not inquired into. Further it laid to my charge the mistake of omitting the Railways Loan Ordinance which was omitted on the authority of Government itself. But piled together in this reckless way it made a famous list on which to frame the indictment of inaccuracy. But apart from this the letter was wanting in the most elementary courtesy. There was no occasion to play Bombastes; on the contrary, having in view the position of the author and the circumstances in which the work had been done, and the magnitude of it, it was essentially a case in which the greatest consideration ought to have been shown. The mistakes were regrettable; no one regretted them more than I, as I had shewn by withdrawing the Volumes in order that they might be corrected. The course which courtesy and gentlemanly feeling demanded was, not to jump into the breach and brandish a wooden sword, but to point out that it was impossible for the Council to approve the Volumes until they had been corrected and to request me to correct them; a course which not only I was bound to, but should have agreed to without demur. I was not a Chinese contractor who had done work badly and insisted on its being accepted, but I was treated like one, and a hostility displayed at once which was entirely out of place. For instance, Mr Clementi asked me \"how I accounted for the mistake in the Official Signatures Ordinance?\" There was no question of \"accounting\"; it was a mistake, and one which could have been easily rectified. Another instance of this hostility was the attempted Mr Clementi that the Railways Loan Ordinance had been printed as a slip which is a fact after consultation with the Colonial Secretary's Office, The mistake about the slip was that the printers had omitted a page number, but this could have been put straight by hand-stamping.\n\none,\n\ndenial by",

        "content_text": "M Jamieson, Consul General Canton, thinks that the present Govt. would be worth bolstering up, and give a good Gov. Gent. some support a Chinese application for such assistance.\n\nAccording Para 7 Yeung Tsun Kai has suggested that foreign intervention is the only cure & the E. has little doubt that the merchants of Canton at Hong Kong would welcome the reorganisation & the Provincial administration \"under tactful and unostentatious British supervision & advice\" Financial assistance If one million a month might be wanted for a year but with English advisers the Cantonese would be ready to proceed without borrowing from it Mrs.\n\nThe Gov. finally advises that if the Six Power Loan falls through Am. G. shall make a small loan to Canton - if necessary through Hongkong [as in the case of the Hon. Chang Loan] - on condition that the Govt accept the advice & financial supervision of English officers & perhaps that anew and fit men in place of the present incompetent officials be appointed.\n\nCertainly the question is how far (a) the Cantonese will accept the situation quietly or (b) they have a good word for it? (c) the poor scheme doesn't lead to twists from other sources (d) the other interested powers Don't try to start protectorates over other provinces.\n\nIt would no doubt be an excellent thing for Hong Kong Canton to get the Province straight. But London is much afraid that either (a) or (d) or both would happen. Italy is intriguing with Germany Japan & Russia just now in the scramble: Of course the Powers which hold strong views on the integrity of China will come in.\n\nHowever\n\nDuplicate copy to F.D.

Mr. Chamberlain was not satisfied with this report and on the 20th August, 1903, informed Sir H. Blake that he had impressed this view on Mr. Badeley. Finally on the 7th November, 1903, Sir H. Blake (who had had personal experience in police work) wrote a very strong despatch expressing lack of confidence both in Mr. Badeley as Captain Superintendent of Police and in Captain Lyons, Deputy Superintendent. Mr. Badeley has been absent on leave for the past nine months, and he therefore is not responsible in any way for the recent conduct of Police administration. He is due back on December 13th, and I shall be extremely glad when he relieves Captain Lyons for he has the confidence of his men, and he speaks Chinese. I am in hopes that he will throw himself energetically into the very difficult work which awaits him.\n\nPage 3",

Aussitôt que toutes les ratifications, tant pour les Puissances elles-mêmes que pour leurs colonies, possessions, protectorats et territoires à bail, auront été reçues par le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas, celui-ci notifiera à toutes les Puissances qui auront ratifié la convention la date à laquelle il aura reçu le dernier de ces actes de ratification.\n\n8. Si à la date spécifiée à l'alinéa 6 les ratifications de toutes les Puissances qui ont signé n'ont pas été déposées, le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas invitera toutes les Puissances qui auront signé la convention ou le protocole à envoyer des délégués à La Haye pour délibérer sur les conditions dans lesquelles la convention pourra être mise néanmoins en vigueur en totalité ou en partie.\n\nLois, Règlements, etc., prévus par la Convention.\n\n9. À l'égard des lois, règlements et autres mesures prévus par la présente convention qui exigeraient le concours des Parlements ou des corps législatifs, il est convenu que les projets requis à cet effet seront proposés par les Gouvernements au plus tard six mois après la date mentionnée dans la notification du Gouvernement des Pays-Bas visée à l'alinéa 7.\n\nLa date à partir de laquelle ces lois entreront en vigueur fera l'objet d'un accord entre les Puissances signataires, sur la proposition du Gouvernement des Pays-Bas.\n\n10. Dans le cas où des questions surgiraient relatives aux lois, règlements et autres mesures que la convention comporte, le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas, si ces questions ne pourront pas être résolues par d'autres moyens, invitera toutes les Puissances qui auront signé la convention ou le protocole à envoyer des délégués à La Haye pour arriver à un accord immédiat sur ces questions.\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n489\n\nOPIUM.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[January Co\n\n[2276]\n\nNo. 1.\n\nSECTION 2. 2386\n\nNEGE 24 JAN 12\n\nBritish Delegates to International Opium Conference to Sir Edward Grey.---- (Received January 17.)\n\n(No. 10.) Sir,\n\nThe Hague, January 16, 1912.\n\nIn continuation of our despatch No. 9 of the 14th instant, we have the honour to forward a revised draft, drawn up by the \"Comité de Rédaction,\" of the clauses relating to the signing, ratification, and enforcement of the convention. You will observe that the amendments referred to in our previous despatch have been accepted in substance, as also the French amendment which we foreshadowed, and which places administrative action on the same footing as legislation for the purposes of what are now paragraphs 10-12.\n\nThis being so, we are at a loss to understand, with reference to your telegram of the 15th instant, why the procedure proposed can be still regarded as not fully satisfactory by the Board of Trade. We submit that it does effectually meet the conditions on which they laid stress in their letter of the 12th January, since no country is now obliged to bring laws into force, or take equivalent administrative action, without consultation with the rest, which of course implies knowledge of what they propose to do, any difficulties which may thereupon arise being solved if necessary by a conference ad hoc. We cannot devise any better means likely to be accepted by the conference as a whole, of ensuring that British trade interests shall not suffer by restrictive action which might not be taken to a like extent in other countries, while the position which might be created by important countries remaining outside the convention is adequately provided for by paragraphs 5 and 6 of the present draft.\n\nWe take this opportunity of stating, with reference to your telegram No. 2 of the 12th instant, that, after further informal discussion with us, the German delegation proposed to the conference to-day their amendments to articles 10 to 16 of the original draft of the convention on the subject of morphine and cocaine, and that the articles as they proposed to redraft them will be found in the second enclosure to this despatch. We made it clear in the debate that ensued that our Government deprecated these amendments, but we eventually accepted them with reluctance as the sole means of arriving at an agreement. After some discussion the amendments were provisionally accepted with some slight verbal modifications.\n\nThe next business before the conference is now the consideration of the revised draft of the \"Comité de Rédaction,\" referred to in the first paragraph of this despatch, and we hope that we may be at once placed in a position to say that our Government authorises us to accept this solution.\n\nWe have, &c.\n\n(For British Delegation to Opium Conference), W. S. MEYER.\n\nEnclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nCONFÉRENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L'OPIUM,\n\nComité de Rédaction.\n\nProjet modifié en tenant compte des Suggestions de leurs Excellences de Marees van Swinderen et Asser et de la Délégation britannique.\n\nSignature supplémentaire.\n\nLes Puissances non représentées à la conférence seront admises à signer la présente convention.\n\n2. Dans ce but, le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas invitera immédiatement après la signature de la convention par les plénipotentiaires des Puissances qui ont pris part à la conférence, toutes les Puissances non signataires de l'Europe et de l'Amérique à [énumération], à désigner un délégué muni des pleins pouvoirs nécessaires pour procéder à La Haye à la signature de la convention.",

        "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. Elles coopéreront avec les autres Gouvernements afin d'empêcher leur usage pour tout autre objet. |\n| **ARTICLE 10** | Les Puissances contractantes limiteront, par des lois, aux seuls établissements et locaux qui auront été désignés à cet effet, la fabrication de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs. |\n| **ARTICLE 11** | Les Puissances contractantes exigeront que tous ceux qui fabriquent, importent, vendent, distribuent et exportent la morphine, la cocaïne et leurs sels respectifs, soient munis d'un permis pour se livrer à ces opérations. |\n| **ARTICLE 12** | Les Puissances contractantes exigeront des fabricants et commerçants munis de ces permis la consignation sur leurs livres de toutes transactions concernant la fabrication, l'importation, la vente, la distribution et l'exportation de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs. Cette règle ne s'appliquera pas forcément aux prescriptions médicales, et aux ventes faites par des pharmaciens dûment autorisés. |\n| **ARTICLE 13** | Les Puissances contractantes entreprendront de faire contrôler ces fabricants et commerçants ainsi que les bâtiments où ils exercent cette industrie ou commerce. |\n| **ARTICLE 14** | Les Puissances contractantes prohiberont dans leur commerce intérieur toute cession de morphine, de cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs, à toutes personnes non autorisées. |\n| **ARTICLE 15** | Les Puissances contractantes interdiront, en tenant compte des différences de leurs conditions commerciales, l'importation de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs à d'autres qu'à des personnes autorisées. |\n| **ARTICLE 16** | Les Puissances contractantes s'engagent à prohiber, par des conventions spéciales ou autrement, l'exportation de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs de leurs pays et colonies vers les pays, colonies ou territoires à bail des autres Puissances contractantes sauf dans le cas où le destinataire aura reçu un permis accordé conformément aux lois du pays importateur l'autorisant à importer ces drogues. Cependant tout Gouvernement désirant profiter des stipulations de cet article devra donner de temps en temps aux Gouvernements des pays exportateurs des renseignements relatifs aux personnes auxquelles des permis d'importation auront été accordés pour la morphine, la cocaïne et leurs sels respectifs. |\n| **ARTICLE 17** | Les Puissances contractantes appliqueront les lois et règlements de fabrication, d'importation, de vente ou d'exportation de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs :<br>(a) A l'opium médicinal;<br>(b) A toutes les préparations (officinales et non officinales y compris les remèdes dits anti-opium) contenant plus de 0.2 pour cent de morphine ou plus de 0.1 pour cent de cocaïne;<br>(c) A l'héroïne, ses sels et préparations contenant plus de 0.1 pour cent d'héroïne;<br>(d) A la codéïne, ses sels et préparations contenant plus de 0.4 pour cent de codéïne;<br>(e) A tout nouveau dérivé de la morphine, de la cocaïne ou de leurs sels respectifs ou à tout autre alcaloide de l'opium qui pourrait à la suite de recherches scientifiques donner lieu à des abus analogues et avoir pour résultat les mêmes effets nuisibles. |\n| **ARTICLE 18** | Les Puissances contractantes examineront la possibilité de prendre des mesures rendant passible de peines la possession illégale de l'opium brut, de l'opium préparé, de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs, à moins que des lois existantes n'aient déjà réglé la matière. |\n\nPage 265  \nPage 27  \nPage 9  \nPage 1665]  \nC 2",

Previously to his leave in 1908, Cotton treated his wife well. On his return he took to drink and treated her at times very brutally. On one occasion he turned her and her children into the street (Queen's Road East) in their bed clothes.\n\n3. Since he went home Cotton has written to other people in Hongkong asking them how his wife is living. In one letter which Mrs. Cotton has seen, he suggests that she is living with another man.\n\nMr. Kemp has been good enough to visit Mrs. Cotton for me at her house.

        "content_text": "## B 277\n\n2\n\n**PHOTOGRAPHY IN NATURAL COLOURS**\n\nThe Polychromide System\n\nEffort to produce photographs in the actual colour of nature have attracted earnest attention during recent years, and the works of the Lumières and others were valuable stepping-stones on the road to progress. 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. Mueller, the Consul General at Tabriz, is proceeding to Urga as Consul-General, the consulate there being upgraded to a Consulate-General.\n\n## ENDER ENTIRELY NEW SIGN ON KHEN\n\n**EXCELLENT COLON**\n\nModerate Rates\n\nM.

It was frequent from 16th Mch as Ms B. says she told her, it would seem that she was not a lady with strong prejudice against kissing. I do not see how the statement as to pregnancy can be verified without medical examination which there is no power to insist upon. Mr Ballain never spoke with his J. was may, and the trial was on the 13th of May, and it is evident from Ballin's also examination of the witnesses that he was aware of what had passed between Mr. X. and his wife - witness his questions as to Havers' temper and his relations with fraucic? Yet he acted no question as to the cloth, nor in his Memorial - said with precis for him by a lawyer - does he raise the point. Even if M. B. did not tell her husband till the warning of the trial 13th May as to Mrs B's alleged pregnancy, Ballain won the decision on was not quite in titl zid June.

We went round together, and while Mrs. Xavier was telephoning I borrowed 50 cents from the compradore, which I gave back to him as Mrs. Xavier said her husband would be back at 5 o'clock and asked me to wait for him. On the way back to the house (it was then about 4 o'clock) she said, \"My husband is very jealous of me, and will not allow me to go out of the house without him.\" When we returned her sister had left the house. She then told me that when she told her husband the inspector kissed her he was very angry, and said he would beat the inspector when he came again to inspect the house; he would get a half holiday and wait for him. He asked her when he was coming back, and she said in three days' time. When her brother came in to dinner the same evening he told him what he intended doing, and they arranged to hide until the inspector got into the place and beat him. I was very sorry I told him about the inspector, and asked him not to do that, but if the inspector came again to let the amah scold him. But they would not hear of this.\n\nShe also told me that her husband had told her the inspector had been familiar with the woman he kept for six years, and warned her against him, and she said she did not know, but the amah would know him as he used to give her 30 cents every time he came and she had been in his employ all the time. I asked her how she knew it was my husband knocking on the door on the Friday, and she said her husband and brother made her lean over the verandah and watch for him, and when she saw him coming she told her husband and brother.\n\nHer husband got into a wardrobe, and her brother got under the bed.

There are stamps on declarations (2) of the Printers and Publishers register in which stamps paid in March were not cancelled till 4th July: I think the 4th. July was the date \n\nwhen Alim Khan paid the money (82 in all). The Auditor looked at \n\nthe fee-books (I have asked him). \n\nThere was a case in which stamps were on the file but had not \n\nbeen cancelled; it was a long time, perhaps a year or more: this was an oversight. In Shek Fuk's case I was wrong as there is no entry in the Fee-book but there is an entry in the Probate (on \n\nPetition) register dated 8th. May, 1913. \n\nI don't know if this Probate register was sent out as a \n\nChit Book. I never knew cash was paid to any clerk for copying \n\nfees: open cheques may have been sent to me when the amounts were \n\nbig by Solicitors. I do not remember sending these cheques to the \n\nclerks. In Company cases I don't remember holding up monies, I \n\ndon't remember Mr. McElderry reporting to me in Lay that you had reported to him that you were holding up the money in pauper cases. \n\nGabnava Singh's case: letters of administration: an Indian died and \n\nhe had a wife in India: I was official administrator: amount due to \n\nestate #213.19; a cheque for this amount was received from Treasury \n\nby me on or about 17th. April, 1913: I sent the cheque with the direction to the shroff who returned it to me chopped; chopped on \n\nthe receipt and on the cheque for me to endorse the cheque and \n\nsign receipt: I endorsed the cheque (Order cheque) and handed it \n\nto the No. 1 messenger to give to the shroff. It was one of Mr. \n\nMcElderry's cases. \n\nI received a letter dated 31st. July, 1913, from Deputy \n\nCommissioner at Hoshiarpur (marked F). \n\nI answered it (letter not produced). \n\nI received a reply covered a document dated 17th. April, 1915, purporting to be signed by Mr. McElderry (marked G). \n\n„Elei „156...avel Trib \n\n.(beunitnoa) nærði milk yɗ bani.urre-BBOTO JBUBİ¡. „Tai \n\ndool 300 en deud mas (nomugs syu.

I have never seen you receive money although I knew you did receive it and sold stamps. You received money in cash to my knowledge. I did not know you did not apply it immediately.\n\nI should as a rule, see that stamps were affixed before I signed; but not always; I don't remember ever being told you had the cash or stamps would affix them afterwards.\n\nProbate file No. 75/13. I signed the papers on 15th February, 1913, without the stamp being on: I did this for convenience of the people: but I did not know you had the money but I do not know that I remember this case.\n\nI remember that there was a complaint about too much work in the office. I have a hazy recollection that you complained about having too much work and much delay in the way of the pauper estates. It was common knowledge that in many pauper cases there was much delay due to sureties not being satisfactory.\n\nI don't remember in the H. K. & S. B. case where there were $12 to pay you told me that you had the $12 and were going to return it pending the completion.\n\nMr. Charles Alexander Dick Melbourne: Deputy Registrar and Appraiser: since September, 1909: Mr. Alim Khan was there when I went. I was away on other duty all this year till August and practically all last year. I have dealt with Probate and Letters of Administration cases and they all passed through my hand. All pauper cases went to Mr. A. K. first and he, after getting permission, prepared the papers. There would be certain fees payable: I thought the shroff received the fees; I was unaware that Mr. A. Khan received cash. I didn't know how the stamps got on the documents. The shroff kept the stamps. Exhibit G: I cannot say if it is in the ordinary form.\n\nI believe I have signed documents without the stamps, but I should have asked Mr. Alim Khan (if he brought the papers) if the shroff had received the money for the stamps. Mr. Alim Khan was a good clerk.\n\nJ\n\nCross-\n\ni",

        "content_text": "222\n\n5\n\n4\n\nCouncil. The first week in November was, as usual, observed as the annual \"Y. W. C. A. Week of Prayer\" and we were fortunate in having with us on that Tuesday Miss Paddock, National Y. W. C. A. Sec: for China. Miss Paddock conducted the prayer meeting and gave an instructive and helpful address. Other Y. W. C. A. visitors passing through Hongkong, whom we have derived benefit from, were Miss Wheeldon going to Bombay who took a Tuesday Bible Class and Miss Radford returning from Calcutta on furlough who addressed a special Drawing Room Meeting.\n\nSecretary. One of the difficulties which had to be faced during the year was that the Secretary from England, Miss Jacob, was only with us for six months. She arrived in January but resigned in March, and left in June. The vacancy thus caused was filled pro: tem: by Mrs. Edkins who now, at the end of the year, retires and is succeeded by Mrs. Kydd. Mrs. Kydd is well-known to many of us as she acted as Hon: Sec: in 1908 while the Sec: was at home on furlough. Mrs. Kydd proved at the time her value to the Y.W.C.A. and is heartily welcomed back among us.\n\nIn the death of Miss Eyre last September the Hongkong Y. W. C. A. lost its Founder, and a most devoted and hard working Secretary. The Council take this opportunity of once again expressing their deep appreciation of the excellent work she did for so many years among the young women in the Colony.\n\nPremises. At present the Y. W. C. A. in Hongkong can only provide Social rooms open daily. The one occupied in Beaconsfield Arcade since 1909, was given up during the summer months last year, but it is not proposed that summer closing should become a rule. One good thing, however, that the closing of that room did last summer was to prove how absolutely necessary a suitable and convenient room is to the work of the Society. In September the Council were fortunate in being able to rent a small suite in the building known as Beaconsfield. Members were most kind in contributing to the extra furnishing which the enlarged quarters necessitated; the rooms were opened by Lady May and have given fresh impetus to the work of the Society.\n\nIt is with very great regret that we have just learnt that we cannot continue in these rooms after Dec: 31st. The building has changed hands and the new landlord requires the whole of the accommodation. Enquiries are being made for other premises which we trust may be found before this report has been many days in the hands of our members.\n\nIt was Miss Eyre's great desire to see in Hongkong some sort of lodging accommodation under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. for women passing through en route to other places, as well as for residents needing temporary shelter. The Council are fully in sympathy with the idea because they know the need is a real one. The past year alone has given instances of this. At present sufficient funds for such a scheme are lacking, but it is hoped that in the near future the necessary money may be forthcoming and that ladies travelling alone may find in Hongkong something of the same kind of lodging accommodation as is provided for them in Colombo, Singapore, Bombay, Calcutta, and Shanghai, and for which we are constantly being asked.\n\nWINIFRED EDKINS\n\nHon: Sec:",

Denison, Ram and Gibbs, but these must necessarily be carefully checked. A case was brought to my notice in which the working drawing of a steel roof truss was inaccurate and I was informed that such cases were not infrequent. Detailed drawings were also in course of preparation for Kowloon Point Market, and sundry other services such as the New Stairway to Government House Ball Room.\n\nI am quite satisfied that Mr. Fisher and his Staff are fully employed for the current year; just at present they appear to be particularly busy and can hardly keep pace with the work. I was somewhat surprised to find that an Executive Engineer was burdened with so much detail. There are no clerks and no drafts-men in his office, the only assistance given being 2 Tracers. The result is that he is practically tied to his office and though in charge of some new works at Tai Po can only visit them about once in three weeks.\n\n(i).\n\nPublic Works Extraordinary under r. Jaffe.\n\nThe estimated cost of work is about $220,000: and the cost of Staff about $18,069: percentage about 8.2%.\n\nWith regard to the Staff I was informed that 2 Overseers had not yet been appointed as the work at Mong-kok-tsui Breakwater was not sufficiently advanced to necessitate their presence.\n\nThe cost of the breakwater is estimated at over 1 million dollars. A large amount of detail work has been got through in taking and plotting extremely accurate soundings and the preparation of plans. Alterations to the original scheme have involved further work. At present dredging is proceeding and the assistant engineer's time is chiefly taken up in supervising this work and taking further soundings for the depth of trench to be excavated for the foundation of the breakwater. In the meanwhile bills of quantities and further details are being prepared previous to calling for tenders for a contract.",

So far as Sir Kai is concerned the question of salary is now gone and the benefit remaining for his family, if the scheme should materialise, will be the free share and the piece of land. But even if the scheme should become successful it would take at least two years before any result could be obtained, and, in the meantime, the question of how the family will be supported and the children educated becomes very serious. For the next few months, however, Sir Kai's family will be supported by the fund which was subscribed immediately after his death by Messrs. Au Tack, Cheung Sun Too, Chan Kang Yue and S.W.Tso who each contributed a sum of $750 for funeral and other immediate expenses. After this fund is exhausted I am afraid there will be very hard time in store for the family.\n\nAs to the house No.45B Robinson Road in which Sir Kai resided it was bought for $22,500, of which sum $10,000 belong to Madam Wu Ting Fang and $12,500 to Mr. Au Tack. No rent had been demanded from Sir Kai during his life time, and steps are being taken to ascertain whether Madam Wu will take up the whole house and allow Sir Kai's family to continue to reside there.\n\nThe above are the facts I have gathered, but before concluding this letter I feel I ought to make clear a certain remark addressed to me at Sir Kai's funeral, that is, that \"Sir Kai had money but lost it all through the Revolution in China\". First, Sir Kai never had at any time money to lose on anything as the facts above stated point to its impossibility. Secondly Sir Kai had, in all his life, been in favour of Reformation and not Revolution in China. His writings and publications testify to his principles. He gave his advice for the better government of China to anyone, whether a Manchurian Official or a Reformer or a Revolutionist, who approached him on the subject, but never received a cent from any one of them as fees, retainers, or otherwise, or derived any benefit directly or indirectly to himself or his family whatsoever. Sir Kai",

Hoisang, as was also the compradore of the Tai On, who was also picked up and brought into Hongkong early on Tuesday. On arrival off Green Island, the police were called and attended under Inspector Gordon. Mr. McCartney was removed to the Government Civil Hospital, and the rescued Chinese were taken charge of by the Water Police.\n\nCaptain Wetherell sustained no injury from the pirates, though he received a nasty blow in the chest from a detonator that he exploded when the attack commenced. He was badly singed. Having killed the man who endeavoured to climb onto the bridge, Capt. Wetherell searched him for signs of identification and papers but failed to secure any clues from him.\n\nThe three officers concerned in this new outrage are all well known in the Colony. Capt. Wetherell has been on the West River for about two years. First, he was the mate of the s.s. On Lee. Later, he went with Capt. Holmes to the Tai On and was Chief Officer on that boat. Shortly after that, when Captain Holmes left the ship, he became master, a position which he has held ever since. He has a married daughter in Hongkong, who was saved from the wreck of a boat in Nagasaki Harbour some twenty-five years ago, when Mrs. Wetherell met her death.\n\nMr. Evans was in India before he came to join the River steamer traffic at Hongkong and was at one time with the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company.\n\nMr. McCartney has been on board the Tai On for many years past and was in the last piracy of the ship.\n\nThe authorities, on hearing of the outrage, took prompt steps in connection with it. Two torpedo boats, Nos. 035 and 037, were immediately placed under orders to proceed there with armed guards, and they left shortly after ten o'clock for Ki O, which is about thirty miles from Hongkong. The Governor's yacht, Stanley, was also commissioned, and in this, Commander Basil Taylor, Harbour Master, left for the scene of the outrage. The Hon. Mr. McI. Messer also left in one of the torpedo boats with a police guard. There is at present no information as to how all the pirates fared after they had fired the ship. No one seems to know whether they succeeded in getting away from the ship with any booty, and apparently, no junks were seen in the vicinity. Their fate is at present the interest of the authorities, who have despatched police in the torpedo boats, with food, to deal with matters on the spot. The fact that food has been ordered for the force that has been despatched seems to show that they are expected to be away some little time.\n\nLater in the morning, the s.s. Shun Lee and the Shiu On arrived in the Harbour and took up anchorages opposite the Harbour Office. Armed police guards were at once put on board. No one was allowed to leave the vessel, and a police patrol boat was told off to cruise round, keeping craft from approaching them. Representatives of the Telegraph went out and, while allowed to pass by the patrol, were forbidden to board. However, in a few words that were passed between a European officer on board and the press representatives, the former was able to express doubts as to the condition of Mr. McCartney before the visiting sampan was hurried off by the police. The Chinese brought in by the s.s. Hoisang were conveyed to the Water Police to await enquiries.\n\nAnother story of the occurrence states that at about eleven o'clock, the s.s. Wo Kwai saw the s.s. Tai On ablaze near Ki O. She went within two hundred yards of the vessel and was instrumental in saving the Captain, the Chief Engineer, and seven others, four of whom were found clinging to the rudder. The piracy was first made known to those on the bridge by the sound of shots below. The Captain, with a shotgun, and the Indian Guard, of whom there are four carried on board, taking watches, defended the bridge. The Pirates, finding that they could not take the vessel, set fire to it. The Chief Engineer received shot wounds, and Officer Evans is missing.\n\nSpeaking with an officer engaged in the West River trade, the Telegraph learnt that the district in which the piracy took place is nearly in the centre of the district commonly reported to be infested by pirates.\n\n\"If you stood on Wangmoon and drew a circle of thirty miles radius,\" he said, \"you would map out the district where the pirates are to be found.\"\n\nThis officer, speaking of the resistance that had been offered to the pirates, did not agree with it. \"It is the feeling along the wharves that it will be a bad time for Europeans at the next piracy,\" he said.\n\nThe long scroll of piracies in the waters of south China has had a further addition in the attack on the Tai On near Ki O; but there is one satisfactory side to the story - that is the fact that four of the pirates, alleged, are lying in the Government Civil Hospital in Hongkong suffering from gunshot wounds in three instances and from severe burns in the other. It is very likely that one of the men who received a shot in the chest, practically blowing it away, will not live much longer, and from him, little information is ever likely to be gained.\n\nWhen the Telegraph called at the Hospital on Tuesday, Dr. Bell intimated that the men could not be seen, as they were in a special room under an armed guard of Indians. One man had been shot in the shoulder, and the other in the left thigh. The damage to the thigh was, from his observation, of a very serious nature, and at the moment, the patient was about to be operated upon. The wounds were of a spreading nature, that it appeared as though they were inflicted with a shotgun. Engineer McCartney had been to the Hospital that morning suffering from a slight wound in the lower part of his back, but, though he was invited to stay, preferred to leave the hospital after being attended to.\n\nThe men, said Dr. Bell, who were alleged to be the pirates, appeared to be of the Chinese common class, and neither of them appeared in any dress other than that of the artisan or boatman. As far as he knew, no arms had been found upon them, but it was practically certain that they would have been subjected to a search before being brought to the hospital.\n\nThe Telegraph eventually succeeded in interviewing Capt. Somerville of the s.s. Shun Lee. The Captain gave a most graphic description of the truly horrifying scenes that he witnessed.\n\nThe Shun Lee left Hongkong, said the skipper, at 5:30 on Monday; the weather was cloudy and squally. They passed Kwongmoon at 9:00, and the s.s. On Lee passed them at 10:10. Shortly after the On Lee had passed them, the Liantan passed up and gave word that the Tai On was on fire. At 10:20, Capt. Somerville, from the bridge of the Shun Lee, observed distress rockets going up on his starboard bow. A quarter of an hour later, he saw the Tai On ashore sending up rockets and blowing her steam whistle. Capt. Somerville slowed down his engines and made towards the Tai On, blowing his steam whistle in answer.\n\nAt 10:50, he anchored in twelve feet of water; it was very dark at the time, and he could not get very near to the Tai On. He sounded down about four cables' lengths off, just inside half a mile.\n\nAt eleven o'clock, a fork of flame shot skywards from one end of the Tai On. At the moment, he could not say whether it was stem or stern, owing to the darkness. He immediately put out the lifeboats of the Shun Lee, with the object of rescue work. At 11:30, three boats pulled towards the burning ship, and from then until four o'clock in the morning, the men worked with unceasing vigour, bringing half-drowned persons to the haven of the Shun Lee. By this time, no less than 116 persons were rescued from certain death.\n\n\"Of what use are our grillages now, or our bullet-proof protectors for the bridge,\" feelingly exclaimed Capt. Somerville, \"if they are going to burn our ships from under us and plunder us while we are sinking slowly and helplessly into the treacherous mud of the West River?\" The scenes in and about the Tai On, he continued, \"were almost indescribable; the flames shot mast-high, and the smoke hindered greatly the rescuers in their work and to a great extent obscured vision. The wails and cries from the hundreds in the water were heartrending, and as the boats drew close by the Tai On, desperate people clung to the sides of the boats and made frenzied efforts to gain security from the muddy waters.\"\n\nThe fact that they set fire to the ship, said Capt. Somerville, proves the treacherous nature of the gang of pirates that make it their business to molest ships on this particular run. Finding the heroic defence of those on the bridge of the Tai On too great for them, from sheer desperation and lust for blood, they set fire to the vessel, caring not for the loss of hundreds of lives - the lives of fellow countrymen - so long as they avenged themselves on the sturdy and stalwart defenders of the Tai On's commanding quarters.\n\nA peculiar feature of the affair is that not a junk or a sampan was seen alongside the Tai On during the whole of the night, and the only other craft that got near her was the rescue party.\n\nIt is quite probable, however, that when the ship was fired, the smoke would obscure the movements of craft about the stern of the vessel. The Captain did turn the ship round so that the flames would be carried from the ship by the wind instead of onto it. It is believed by those on board that many of the pirates mixed among the passengers in the disorder that followed, and in that case, many have either perished or have been rescued with the passengers. The authorities are inquiring into the matter, however, and no doubt their investigations will lead to a better understanding as to how the pirates escaped.\n\nThose who have first-hand information of the occurrence tell the most glowing stories of the gallantry of the guard on the Tai On, who did so much courageous work during the fighting between the pirates and the ship's officers. Twice the pirates suffered reverse, and it was not until they found the fire from the officers so fatal to their numbers that they determined to set fire to the ship. The Captain of the Tai On had but a shotgun with which to take up his stand, but this he did, gallantly assisted to a man by his loyal assistants. In one case, a pirate received a full charge of small shot in the chest at a few yards' range, and terrible injuries were inflicted.\n\nThe two Portuguese watchmen on board the Tai On are named Dias and Leocadie Jorge da Silva. The former was a soldier in Macao for a time and from there went to Shanghai, later returning to Hongkong. The latter is a young man with a wife and mother in Hongkong.\n\n## Page 472\n\n# HONGKONG TELEGRAPH SUPPLEMENT",

        "content_text": "# Page Four\n\n## An Imaginary Interview With Carnival Director Dean\n\nMills Dean, the Director General of the 1915 Carnival, was finally located by our reporter at the rehearsal of \"Defending Their Homes\" on the Carnival grounds. He was in earnest conversation with Dr. Cox, Dr. Robinson, Mr. Batchelder, and Col. Johnson from Rome, Georgia, boyhood friend of Mrs. Wilson and now here directing the census. Mills explained to the scribe: \"You see, this spectacular drama must not only be attractive but it must be historically accurate in every detail. This pirate Tamah is fierce, and I would like to have Mr. Batchelder take that role, but he wishes to have a sea scene, the sinking of a passenger ship. We can't have that. He wants to save the ladies by putting life-belts on them. I don't want a sea drama. I want his views on how the fierce wild tribes ought to act. I want expert advice on savages from him. Then Col. Johnson is from the South and these Tamah pirates are supposed to come up from the south. He wants to have them all stop fighting and do a buck and wing dance and have a glee club quartette sing 'Georgia, Georgia, Over All', but you see how impossible it would be to give it local U.S.A. color. Dr. Robertson suggested that one side be chosen from the subscribers to 'Consolidacion Nacional' while the other be selected from the Vanguardia readers and arm both parties with stuffed clubs and let the tocsin ring and the people would get their money's worth, but this does not appeal to me. I want to have harmony. Dr. Cox has some of the clearest views, but I am sorry I cannot incorporate them into the show. He wants the dialogues written in the ancient Polynesian-Indico-Ibernica language which, according to undisputed authorities, might have been spoken here 1635 years ago or more correctly 280 A.D. He contends, and I think with force of reason, that all the private colleges would come and it would be a feast of reason as well as a flow of soul. But I think the general public wants something stirring so we have all collaborated and have produced this last word in dramatic art.\"\n\n\"I must express my admiration of the beautiful scenery and large conception, Mr. Mills.\"\n\n\"Oh, that was done by our esteemed and talented Sr. José Viñas of the Spanish Opera Co. He also has taken great pains to coach me in acting all the leading parts. You see, I stand ready to fill any part. It may be that one of the actors wants to go to a ball on a certain night, and if that happens you will find me right there with the goods and take his part without a hitch. Oh, it is not only in this great drama that I have become proficient, but I have made it a duty to be an understudy for every attraction in the Hubbub. I state it modestly that I am prepared to take Mme. Garcia's place in the bell-defying plunge through space in the dinky automobile. I have also given lots of attention running the Old Dutch Windmill. Boss La Pointe has volunteered to be understudy for Wa-wa, the Borneo missing link. I had some difficulty in successfully learning the parts in the Chinese playhouse. Of course, you know I would only be called on to play the leading parts because the minor parts can be filled by others and if they bungle it won't be so noticeable. These Chinese dramas continue on for two weeks and unless one gets thoroughly into the spirit of the play he cannot do it justice, but I may not be called on to act. I shudder to think of how I would correctly act the part of the Samar twins. It has been suggested that if they are indisposed and cannot show that act be suspended and I have about decided that this is the best solution because it would never do to only act half of the twins or in any other way do less than perfection.\"\n\n\"Mr. Dean, then nothing has been left to chance. You are bound to make it a success. What other features do you emphasize?\"\n\n\"There are the three parades. I have given them personal attention. I wanted Major Hartigan to take complete charge but he begged off. He said he wished to be foot loose and frisk about and have some fun with the boys. I have got a lot of real startling effects for the parades. The Japanese have taken a hold in great style as have the Chinese and when the boy scouts are masqueraded and their identity is hidden they will 'cut up dog' for fare-ye-well. Oh, it is all doped out and is going to be a hummer. Of course, the balls each night are a specialty by themselves. I shall naturally have to shape their course and destiny and now that the constabulary band is not here I will have to give special attention to the music. I have thought some of having a snare drum in the orchestra to keep up the spirit of the Escuela de Baile. Opinion is divided. There are those who declare they cannot dance without the drum while others want variety and have the drum cut out. I have been giving several hours a day with the brass bands putting life and ginger into them. Their technique is fairly good and if I get their morale improved I will have gained much.\"\n\n\"Mr. Dean, I really had no idea of the vast amount of work you have done. How did you ever dare to undertake it?\"\n\n\"Well, as one becomes accustomed to responsibilities one gets to carrying a few more on an ever-increasing ratio until the whole frame becomes a machine to do more and there is then no longer any limit to what the will power can force the unwilling body to do, but as each day sees its task well done there is the compensating reward of a contented mind. And now if you will please excuse me I see a duty before me. I have daily taken the young ladies who sell the chocolates on an imaginary round to accustom them to the routine and I see they are waiting for me as usual and the most possible must be made of the few days to insure thoroughness in every detail.\"\n\n## O'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\n### One On Cooper\n\nOle Olsen, the descendant of Eric the Red, the Viking king that beat Columbus to America by a century or two, now and then between times when he is shipping cigars to the States by the million or so, indulges in a little visit to the house of a friend out near the new reservoir. Ole went there last Sunday and spent some little time in looking over his friend's garden patch. Ole is some farmer himself. He says that when he was living back in Norway on the side of an iceberg, he often used to see pictures of trees and flowers and grain growing in the green fields and he thought that if he could ever get some place where winter did not last eleven months and a half every year he would turn farmer. Ole has a nice little garden around his place near the gas-house and quite frequently he attires himself in some old clothes that he had especially imported from the States to do the part right in, and ambles forth among the cabbage patches and the cucumber vines to fool the birds. Ole is the original thing in scarecrows when he gets properly togged out in his farmer costume. Well, to get back where we started. Ole was looking his friend's place over when he noticed that the pump would not work. Immediately he called his host's attention to the fact and suggested that he buy one of Henry Cooper's hot air pumps. His friend replied that Cooper was a pretty regular caller and thought that there was no necessity for buying a pump as Cooper's conversation could be used and this would cost nothing.\n\n### The breeze has been blowing some cooler Plaza Moraga this week.\n\n### Clever\n\nThat story printed in one of the daily papers about the possibility of the Igorot Scouts not being permitted to take part in the military parade because of their lack of pants, was certainly a clever piece of publicity. All over town people were talking about it and some of the rumors were that Major-General Barry had delivered an ultimatum that if the scouts from the hill country could not parade then there would be no parade of any of his troops. Quite a little excitement was stirred up about the matter. The carnival publicity man deserves a medal for putting that one over.\n\n### Paper Suppressed\n\nDublin, Ireland, Dec. 3. - The newspaper Sinn Fein did not appear today. The publishers of this journal refused to print in consequence of having been warned by the authorities that they would be liable to prosecutions for the publication of treasonable matter.\n\nThis is the second step in the suppression of Irish publications which have been opposing enlistment and expressing pro-German sentiments. The police last night raided the office of the Irish Freedom, a monthly publication, and confiscated all copies of the paper offered for sale on the news stands.\n\n## O'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\n### Manila Ethics\n\nCommissioner Dennison has decreed that a municipal doctor, paid by public funds, can refuse to attend any call for his services even in critical cases, if it is contrary to his established code of professional ethics.\n\nFor the benefit of those who have not seen the account of the case in question we will briefly state the main facts. An infant child of Capt. Hill of the Cavite naval ferry was taken with severe convulsions during the Captain's absence. Several women who live near went to the assistance of Mrs. Hill, and one was sent out to summon a doctor. This woman saw Dr. Catalino Nicolas, municipal doctor of Cavite, sitting in the drug store smoking and talking, and she rushed to him. She stated to him that Hill's baby was very sick and asked him to come at once. This doctor, paid out of public funds presumably to attend urgent cases, refused and stated as they had Dr. Victoriano before let them get him again and he would not go. Thanks to a merciful Providence the child did not die and this cold-blooded doctor did not have the joy of telling everybody in Cavite what an awful mistake it is to ever hire the other doctor because the other doctor turned up just in time and saved the child's life.\n\nThe public of Cavite asked Capt. Hill to report this matter because if this is the kind of spite that is worked out on a paying patient, what hope is there to get this doctor to visit a poor patient in time of need?\n\nThe accused doctor simply smiled when the charges were made. He knew that the influence that put him in office would keep him there. In answer to the charges he said he \"understood\" that he was merely wanted for consultation and that he did not want to look after somebody else's patients. His superior, Com. Dennison, figuratively speaking, patted him on the back and intimated to him that when an urgent call comes and he does not wish to violate professional ethics all he needs to do is to telephone the undertaker and coroner to go to a certain house and his ethical duties as municipal doctor will be quite fully and satisfactorily discharged.\n\nOh! for one hour of stern Worcester, whose shadow falling on Dennison would make that pigmy look like a man.\n\n### From Another Angle\n\nThe \"Free Press\" publishes the following just appreciation of agricultural specialist Prautch, but seems to err in thinking that Prautch has been the chief sufferer in not being paid a salary. We desire to interject this idea. The people have been deprived of more than Mr. Prautch has; they have lost possible crops and prosperity.\n\nWe fully concur with the \"Free Press\" as far as it goes and print the editorial to give it wider publicity:\n\n#### Prautch Redivivus\n\n\"A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country. For ten years past a man by the name of Prautch has been dinning into our ears that in spite of the sad fate of Lipa, coffee can be grown in the Philippines and on a large scale with every assurance of success. Now a Mr. Strauss, a practical planter from Java, confirms what Mr. Prautch has been saying. The trouble with Mr. P. is that he was not born in Kansas and can't qualify as a \"boy expert.\" It is not so very long ago that 19,000 was paid Professor Waters from Kansas, who never saw the tropics till he came to the Philippines, to come over and tell us all about the land we live in. It was the old story of what was new was not good and what was good was not new, among the \"new\" being a fairy tale to the effect that locusts take a trip down from the hills once every ten years. And that is just about the length of time that Mr. Prautch has been \"doing his voice-in-the-wilderness stunt.\" But he never got any twelve thousand pesos. No, he is just a prophet, not a professor, and he doesn't hail from Kansas.\"\n\n# Page Five\n\n## Answers To Correspondents\n\n| Name | Response |\n| --- | --- |\n| Burdett | The mistake you made was very natural.

Lacks, whose husband is a merchant in San Francisco. She arrived on the Italian liner Regina d'Italia.\n\n\"I was visiting in Ropczyce, a town not far from Lemburg,\" she said. \"On October 10th word was circulated that the Russians were coming, and that all women would better leave before their arrival. Many women went, but many others, myself among them, did not believe the stories of shameful treatment of women by Cossacks and remained in our homes. The Russians entered the town October 15th.\n\n\"They seemed well enough behaved and seemed to justify our confidence that stories about them were all untrue. So far bad timidity disappeared among the people that everybody went to church on Sunday as though there were no Russians in town.\n\n**But soon after the services began Cossacks appeared at the doors of the churches, interrupted the services and ordered all men, including priests, and all children to leave. The doors were guarded and no women were allowed to get out. Then the doors were locked, and there was a more awful orgy than I believed this world could know.\n\n\"Those outside could hear the women screaming, and the howls and laughter of the Cossacks.\n\n\"One old man who had left his daughter, found the door in the church which was unlocked, and tried to fight his way to her. The Cossacks caught him, crucified him on one of the pillars, and as he screamed in agony, went on with their orgy.\n\n\"By the grace of heaven I did not go to the church. I ran away from the town as soon as I knew what was going on, and made my way to Italy.\"\n\n## How to Live Long\n\nNew York, December 14. Moses Wohl of the Bronx today began his 101st year of life, with this recipe for reaching further milestones:\n\nDrink beer and ale every day, sometimes a little wine; smoke at least seven cigars each day; take a good long walk without a cane; read all the newspapers and don't worry.\n\nWohl, who was seen surrounded by four sons and his daughter, fifteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, said he regretted he was a little too old to learn to tango.\n\n## O'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\n### Want Irish Republic\n\nA curious commentary and interesting sidelight is shown in the recent opposition to John Redmond at contested parliamentary elections in Ireland at present.\n\nSir Roger Casement, Professor McNeill and fully ninety per cent of those opposing Redmond are Irish Protestants.\n\nThis party is seeking to have an Irish Republic or at least a measure of Home Rule given to Ireland as enjoyed by Canada, Australia, or South Africa. To gain their ends, Sir Roger Casement went to Berlin a few weeks ago and presumably made things right there. Sir Roger's party are dead against all recruiting in Ireland until their demands are granted. He has a large following in the Volunteers, particularly in Dublin, Cork and the other principal cities. What a complete answer this is to the old cry of the Orangemen of religious intolerance by their own countrymen, for which the British Government were ready to give all Ulster to the Orange party.\n\nOf course, anyone who knows Ireland and Irish History, knows that many of her greatest leaders and best loved sons were of the Protestant Faith, for instance Wolfe Tone, Emmet, Lord Edward Fitzgerald, Mitchell, Smith O'Brien, Parnell. All venerated and idolized in Ireland to-day and all Protestants.\n\nGod prosper Casement.\n\n## Advertisements\n\n### Have You Got the Carnival Spirit?\n\n#### Old Razors Made New\n\n40 cents each\n\nIf your old razor pulls and irritates your skin let us make a New, Soft, Velvety Edge on it.\n\nThe New American Razor Sharpening Machine will put a Sweet, Keen Shaving edge on the Dullest Razor in a very few minutes.\n\nBring or send AT ONCE.\n\n**Better Than New!**\n\nIs what many of our customers say on trying our Re-Sharpened Safety Razor Blades!\n\nWe re-edge and re-sharpen all makes\n\n70 cents dozen\n\nSee these two wonderful new patented machines at work in our Escolta Stores.\n\nWe return all work promptly, Postage Paid.\n\nWalter E.

        "content_text": "513\n\nHONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nwhat I said on that occasion, because it has a very direct bearing on the subject. I said: In view of the number of hospitals now in existence in the Colony, the number of nurses at present engaged by the local Government seems to be altogether inadequate. The result of working short-handed is that the nurses are often subjected to an undue strain owing to long hours, having to attend to too large a number of patients at one time and with entirely too little opportunity for the rest and recreation which is so necessary to women engaged in so arduous and important a profession, while we understand it is not infrequently the case that a nurse engaged in maternity cases has at the same time to attend to other patients. The matter has recently been much discussed in private circles and the unofficial members are aware that considerable feeling is felt in certain quarters that whatever may be happening in other departments of the Government service, here at all events there is reason to believe we are very shorthanded. **Now, since then the staff has been still further reduced by two nurses. Probationer dressers, although they are very useful, cannot possibly take the places of nurses. Those nurses have got to be in charge of a certain number of wards and patients, and that pure nurses' work which was considered two years ago to be too onerous is still more so now. Therefore, the unofficial members can only view with the greatest possible regret this reduction in the staff. In such a climate as this, good nursing is of the utmost importance, and surely it is one of the last, if not the very last, sections of the Government staff in which economy should be exercised. Good nursing, of course, cannot be obtained unless nurses have ample leisure during working days and a reasonable time for leave,\n\nThen there is another point. Although the figures put before us for next year show two private nurses, as a matter of fact, I am assured that for some considerable time past only one nurse has been available for private nursing. Two members of the unofficial body told me that of their own knowledge, and I also heard it out. The greatest possible difficulty has been experienced during the last few months in getting the advantage even of one private nurse, owing to the demand made in the Government Civil Hospital. Now that, we maintain, is an absolute breach of faith on the part of the Government. Whatever economy ought to be exercised, there ought to be no economy in the two nurses to be permanently available and the chief call on their time must be for outside nursing. I think it has some connection with The Queen Victoria Jubilee Fund, when there was a fund raised to start a Nursing Home under the auspices of Mrs. Chamberlain, and some nurses were imported here and the experiment was made. It was not an altogether satisfactory one, and after some time it was decided that it would be for the greater good of the Colony to hand the Fund over to the Government to be administered by them in the interests of the public, and the two nurses should always be available for public service. A sum of $10,000 or $20,000—the balance of the Fund—was handed over to the Government to that end. I trust that this matter—it is the second time I have had to bring it up—will receive the very serious consideration of your Excellency,\n\nWith regard to Education, there is a small increase of which we entirely approve. We know that of late years greater care has been bestowed upon the control of the numerous Schools—Chinese and others—in the Colony, and we entirely support the policy of the Government in carrying out that reform. Still, I regret to say that I have been informed by people who ought to know what they are talking about, that the supervision of the vernacular schools is not what it ought to be, and that is a matter which might have further consideration. After all, the amount spent on our Education is only 3 per cent. of the total income—not an excessive amount—and any other calls your Excellency wishes to make upon the Colony to encourage the education, supervision, and training of the Chinese children of the Colony will be gladly supported by the unofficial members—the more so as during the last twelve months we have seen and heard how much harm has been done in China by the strenuous German propaganda carried on there. The only way to counteract that is to encourage the education of the Chinese children in this Colony, in such a way that they will be taught, by unbiased masters, the difference between right and wrong.\n\nAnother point which I wish to refer to is the railway. At present, the net revenue of this railway is merely less than 1 per cent. on the invested capital.\n\nPage 83\n\n \n\n(continue from previous page)\n\n...the invested revenue of this railway is merely rather",

They\n\nsaid that they were working for the Canton syndicate and I think there\n\nis little doubt that in a sense they were. In one case they undertook\n\nto take the opium to Canton in a Chinese Gunboat.\n\n12. A large quantity of opium has been purchased in India for\n\nKexico. The money for this has been paid by Hongkong Chinese interested\n\nin the syndicate. Joseph Gould I believe effected the purchases in\n\nCalcutta through M. Sassoon and both are known to me in connection withi\n\nPersian opium smuggling. The opium has been shipped to Kobe and a\n\nspecial steamer is being chartered to take the opium from there. I\n\nunderstand that at some period the opium will be brought to this neigh-\n\n-bourhood and transferred to Chinese Gunboats outside the waters of the\n\nColony. 250 chests are now on the sea and I believe there are 200 cheste already in Mexico for which Canton is the destination. Lee Hyson of the Yu Hing opium case is I believe at the back of this particular venture.\n\n13. Attempts are being made to get Persian opium lying in the Colony into Kuangtung. The method to be employed is the old one of substitution. One such attempt was made recently, the opium being removed from E. D. Sassoon's go down to Kowloon Godowns for no other reason but to attempt substitution in the harbour. I issued a permit, but had the opium conveyed across the harbour in the Revenue Launch. The applicant accompanied the opium, but had no idea of how to proceed on arriving in Kowloon. I have also heard of negotiations for the purch:ee of a considerable quantity of opium from Hemazee. This is to go up to Canton, in a gunboat, though nominally the export is to London. Nemazee is demanding a price very considerably higher than that which he could get in London, but beyond this will have no share in the transaction.\n\n14. It is said that supplies will also come from Kwongchauwan and\n\nMacao,\n\nand that smuggling from these places will have official protect-\n\n-ion. Some of the Macao Farm have share in the syndicate. The brokers for the Blue Funnel smuggling also expect assistance.\n\n(Sd.) R. 0. Hutchison,\n\nS.I.E.\n\n26.11.15.",

His Excellency concluded by saying that he believed that the breakwater would add materially to the prosperity of the port. Junks and engaged in loading unloading steamers would be able to work a longer time when they could fly to the Refuge for protection in case of storms. He hoped the time would soon come when the prosperity of the port and the increase of the small craft would compel the construction of still another and yet larger refuge. (Loud applause.)\n\nislands and on the shores of the main land he had no more modern appliances than two steam crane barges. He had four barges with hand-cranes, and the rest of the plant consisted of the most ramshackle set of junks I have ever seen anywhere. (Laughter.) He bought them up in Canton, Macao, and elsewhere, like a very wise man, as cheaply as possible. The junks were fitted with derricks made of not very solid-looking timber, and fitted with ropes, which I have a strong suspicion, were bought at the auction at the Naval Yard when condemned to the public. (Laughter.) No one looking at the very primitive appliances that he has used would think that the work could possibly be done in the time and without accidents involving a very considerable loss of life. I have watched the work and watched the reports of accidents, and during the five years that this work has been under construction there has not been one single accident either to a junk, or of parting of a rope, or of the slipping of heavy stone. There was only one life lost during the whole of the period, and that was through an accident to an old woman, who was killed by a splinter of stone during blasting operations on one of the islands where stone was being collected. That is, I think, a wonderful record for a work of this magnitude.\" (Applause.)\n\nCheers were given at the call of His Excellency for Messrs. Jaffé and Duncan, and \"Efficient John Chinaman\" (the contractor).\n\nPRINCE OF WALES' FUND.\n\nSUBSCRIPTION LIST NO. 1.\n\nMr. and Mrs. G. L. Platt (December)\n\nMr. B. Swenson Police 4th Sub.)

J. Boland, $5; Mr. Percy K. Hazlitt, $10\n\nIt was very interesting to consider how these stones were handled, proceeded H.E. the Governor: The two steam crane barges were moved out to some of the islands or adjacent shores for the purpose of dealing with the heaviest stones only, 5-ton stones, of which there were many in this work. The cranes would lift as many of these 5-ton stones as were within their radius, and deposit them on to the junks, in which they were brought to Mongkoktsui, and lowered by the derricks of these junks into the water. When the 5-ton stones were not within reach of the crane, the junkmen would get hold of a long chain from the hand cranes, and the stone would be dragged down to the beach, fastened to the stern of a flat-bottomed sampan, and towed to a junk. The stone, of course, effectively weighed half its weight on land when suspended in the water, and this weight was counter-balanced by stones placed in the bow of the sampan.\n\nThey came to inscribe the legend on the stone, he (the Governor) considered they should have a Chinese inscription as well. It was suggested to him by H.M.'s Consul-General in Canton that the Civil Governor of the Province was an extremely erudite Chinese scholar. So he (the Governor) wrote to His Excellency Chang Ming Chi and asked him to write an inscription for this memorial stone. His Excellency undertook it with great good nature. The words are \"Kwong Lan Po Cheung,\" which mean \"A Bulwark against the raging waves.\" They might like to know where these words came from. The first two characters, \"Kwong Lan,\" mean \"raging waves,\" and are quoted from \"Holding back the raging waves that have rolled forward\" in the Tsun Hok Kai by Hon Yu (A.D. 788-824), of the Tong Dynasty. The other words, \"Po Cheung,\" mean \"bulwark,\" and are quoted from \"The City Shing is the bulwark of the clan of Mang\" in a record in \"Tao Chun\" of the events in the 13th year of Duke Ting of the Lo State (B.C. 50).

Treasurer.\n\nHongkong, 16th December, 1915,\n\nFUND TO BE CLOSED.\n\nAt a meeting of the Committee of the Prince of Wales' Fund, held at the Council Chamber Hongkong, on December 18th, it was decided on the motion of H.E. the Governor, who presided, to close the fund on December 31st.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said that he had called the members together to propose that the fund should be closed at the end of the month. When the war broke out it was anticipated that there would be a good deal of unemployment in the United Kingdom. That anticipation was realised for some time, but then a different set of circumstances supervened with the withdrawal of large numbers of men from the labour market and the large amount of work necessary for the Government, and instead of there being a shortage there was an excess of employment with a shortage of labour. That had continued, and out of the large amount subscribed to the Fund only a small sum had been expended in relief of distress. The remainder, over £500,000 sterling, had been invested and would be used at the conclusion of the war for the relief of distress which might supervene when the labour market would again become considerably disturbed, or for other reasons.\n\nIn the meantime it did not appear necessary that the fund should be added to by subscriptions from this Colony, at any rate, where many people had bound themselves to monthly subscriptions not thinking that the war would last so long, and being in many cases unable to afford those monthly subscriptions. There were other funds for various charitable purposes connected with the war, and there was also no doubt that presently they would be asked to subscribe to another national loan. Those two objects, the charitable and the patriotic, assisting the Government with funds to carry on the war, were both objects to which people might very usefully subscribe. In those circumstances it seemed proper to close the fund.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. WEI YU seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously, while Mr. N. J. Stabb, as Hon. Treasurer, and his staff were thanked for their services, on the motion of H.E. the GOVERNOR, seconded by the Hon. Mr. H. E. POLLOCK.\n\nA smoking concert held under the auspices of the Nanking branch of the Patriotic League of Britons Overseas recently realised $825, in aid of the fund for sending Christmas presents to the troops at the front.\n\nA most successful Pianoforte Recital was given on December 11th Shameen by Mr. Denman Fuller, supported by Miss Wilkes, who was ably accompanied in her songs by Mrs. Adams. The audience, though a small one owing to the inclement weather, was highly appreciative throughout the whole programme. Lovers of music had a treat also on Sunday evening, when Mr. Denman Fuller very kindly gave an Organ Recital at Christ Church.\n\nThe proceeds of the two recitals, amounting to about $500, are being devoted to various War Funds, and remitted to London, £29,000 ... $323,605.84.\n\nResidents of Shameen are fortunate in having had Mr. Fuller's voluntary assistance for this purpose.\n\nPage 507\n\n...\n\n9/4/16\n\nStran\n\n139.\n\nSu May\n\nStrele\n\n9/47.\n\n16\n\n834\n\nStay\n\nthe receipt &\n\n9 Feb 76\n\nL\n\n+\n\nhave se to ach:\n\no You\n\ndeep\n\nNo 419 of the\n\n30-De\n\nin which your recommend to my notice the Excellent work done by Ch.

        "content_text": "42\n\nEn vue de l'information de M. van Deventer et de la nécessité pour la Délégation de la Grande-Bretagne de demander de nouvelles instructions, le Président retire sa première proposition et propose de renvoyer les différentes résolutions au Comité de Rédaction et de convoquer une nouvelle séance aussitôt que le Comité de Rédaction aura fini son travail.\n\nCette proposition est adoptée à l'unanimité.\n\nM. Denby, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, donne lecture du rapport suivant :\n\nMr. President and Gentlemen:\n\nI beg to call your attention to the legislation for the control of opium and narcotics in the United States.\n\nIn 1909 the U. S. had already on her statutebooks a law excluding from the U. S. opium except for medicinal purposes. In accordance with the proposed Convention which we now have under discussion this law has been during this year radically amended. These amendments provide:\n\n1. For absolute prohibition to have smoking opium in possession or to transport the same, further for the punishment of any person who having knowledge of opium being held or transported shall fail to advise the authorities thereof.\n\n2. That no opium for smoking shall be admitted into the U. S. for transportation into another country.\n\n3. That no opium or derivates thereof shall be exported from the U. S. to any country which regulates their entry, unless in conformity with the regulations of such country.\n\n4. That penalties for violations of above provisions shall be not more than $5000 fine or two years imprisonment.\n\nThe law is drastic in its terms, possession of opium will be sufficient evidence to convict.\n\nOther domestic laws of the United States are:\n\nAn act which became effective January 1, 1910, and which empowered the postmaster general to close the U. S. mails to cocaine and other drugs, and further, laws and projects of laws which regulate the production, distribution and manufacture of habit forming drugs.\n\nAs to opium in the Philippine Islands.\n\nA law controlling the import and use of opium in the Philippine Islands came into force March 1, 1908.\n\nThe effect has been immediate and convincing as to the efficacy of prohibitory legislation;\n\nin 1905 the amount imported in kilogrammes was 121,600, in 1906 68,100, in 1907 77,000, in 1908 28,000, in 1909 52 kilogram.\n\nPrior to the above legislation the sum of 300,000 dollars per annum was derived from duties. In 1909 only 274 dollars were derived from this source. The increased value of the drug has been an incentive to smuggling but to show how effective has been the control, it is to be pointed out that in 1909 only 1388 kilogrammes were seized in attempts at illegal importation. If all smuggled opium were not seized and if we assume that twice as much more came in undetected, we have only about 4000 kilogrammes per annum unlawfully admitted as compared with ten, twenty, or thirty times that amount lawfully admitted in previous years.\n\nIt is fairly to be presumed that with a worldwide control of the traffic under the terms of the Convention which is under consideration even this small extent of smuggling could be stopped. The laws of the United States as to the Philippines leave little to be desired in control of the opium and drug traffic, but to make those laws perfectly effective, the United States Government does depend on the cooperation of the other powers.\n\nTurning to legislation as to American exterritorial jurisdiction in China, I am able to inform you that projects of laws now before the Congress of the United States ready for enactment and partly enacted, carry out fully the provisions of the Convention as to the control which the United States exercises over American citizens in China. One bill controls American pharmacies in American consular districts in China and regulates the administering of morphine and other drugs. Long before the first opium conference in Shanghai in 1909, namely in 1880 the United States had by treaty with China debarred the opium trade in China to American citizens. It was made unlawful for an American citizen to buy or sell, ship or handle opium in China and in fact for decades the flag of the United States has covered no part of this traffic. The Convention which we now discuss provides for certain legislation as to Foreign Concessions in China. The United States has no concessions there. The Convention further provides for control of Foreign Post Offices in China as to receiving opium and drugs. The United States has but one post office in China, that at Shanghai, and that is effectively covered by the powers given to the Postmaster General of the United States by the law which became effective on January 1, 1910.\n\nIt cannot be made too clear that in urging the other signatory powers to put the Opium Convention into effect, we are urging something which the United States has already done. The provisions of the Convention are to a great extent the law of the United States to day, and they will certainly be entirely enacted into law, and we hope that all other parties to the Convention will do likewise. Only by your cooperation can worldwide control be established and only by your cooperation can our legislation be entirely effective, even within our own borders.\n\nSur la proposition du Président il est décidé que le discours de M. DENBY sera inséré en anglais dans les procès-verbaux.\n\nSon Exc. M. Marcellin Pellet, Délégué de France, voudrait demander une explication. L'article 23 de la Convention, dernier alinéa, porte:\n\n\"Aussitôt que les ratifications de toutes les Puissances signataires, tant pour elles-mêmes que pour leurs colonies, possessions, protectorats et territoires à bail auront été reçues par le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas, celui-ci notifiera à toutes les Puissances qui auront ratifié la Convention la date à laquelle il aura reçu le dernier de ces actes de ratification.\"\n\nEt le premier alinéa de l'article 24 porte:\n\n\"La présente Convention entrera en vigueur trois mois après la date mentionnée dans la notification du Gouvernement des Pays-Bas, visée au dernier alinéa de l'article précédent.\"\n\nLa date de la mise en vigueur est donc précisément fixée et subordonnée à la ratification. Nous ne pouvons pas en ce moment modifier ces dispositions de la Convention.\n\nLe Président attire l'attention de Son Exc. M. MARCELLIN PELLET sur le deuxième alinéa de l'article 23:\n\n\"Dans le cas où la signature de toutes les Puissances invitées n'aurait pas été obtenue à la date du 31 décembre 1912, le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas invitera immédiatement les Puissances à cette date, à désigner des Délégués pour procéder, à la Haye, à l'examen de la possibilité de déposer néanmoins leurs ratifications.\"\n\nC'est en vertu de cette disposition de la Convention que la deuxième conférence a été convoquée et celle-ci a décidé on trouve cela dans le Protocole de Clôture sous le chiffre III \"que dans le cas où la signature de toutes les Puissances invitées en vertu du paragraphe de l'article 23 n'aurait pas été ...\n\n43\n\n...obtenue à la date du 31 décembre 1912, le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas invitera immédiatement les Puissances à cette date, à désigner des Délégués pour procéder, à la Haye, à l'examen de la possibilité de déposer néanmoins leurs ratifications.\"\n\n289",

        "content_text": "Trading with the Enemy.\n\nThe China Contingent.\n\nThe War: China and\n\nalate menta,\n\nXVIII.\n\nAnd here it may be well to add that at no time did the Committee wish for, or advocate, the removal of a single restriction which in their opinion might jeopardise the national welfare. But in suggesting the limited use of private codes, by selected firms, under heavy monetary guarantee, they could foresee no more danger than is to be apprehended from the use of public codes, inasmuch as the cyphers in both public and private codes, and for that matter, plain English words, can be used. However, the Censor could not take that view, and the Committee could only bow to his decision, particularly in view of a hint that further insistence might increase, rather than lessen, existing difficulties.\n\nnational safety as conceived by the Censor.\n\nThe Committee have addressed the Foreign Office on this question, pointing out the discrepancy between the advice given by the Board of Trade to British subjects that it is undesirable to enter into commercial transactions with enemy subjects in China during the continuance of the war, and the provisions of the Trading with the Enemy Act under which we understand such transactions are permissible in certain cases. The matter is still under consideration.\n\nA\n\nBritish subjects resident in China have every reason to feel proud of the Contingent which has come home to join His Majesty's forces. Helping hand from men overseas at this crisis is welcome and deeply appreciated by everyone in the old country, and we congratulate our branches in the Far East on the part they have taken in organising the movement. The Committee have endeavoured to keep in touch with the members of the Contingent by registering the units to which they have become attached, and have afforded them what assistance it has been in their power to offer. (Appendix pp. 50/58.)\n\nIn November last the Association received from the Central Committee for National Patriotic Organizations an enquiry whether the Committee would assist in the work of instructing public opinion in China regarding the war, particularly by getting one or two of the most important pamphlets issued in England translated into Chinese and distributed throughout that country. In view of the gross mis-statements circulated by Germans in China regarding the war and the responsibility for it, the Committee considered it most desirable that an authoritative statement should be published stating clearly and concisely the true facts of the case. Accordingly, a pamphlet of some 40 pages entitled \"The Great War: its origin and the responsibility for it,\" has been compiled under the auspices of the Association and has been sent out to Shanghai for translation into Chinese by the Christian Literature Society, and subsequent circulation in China. The text of the pamphlet is included in the Supplement to this Report, and will be found at pages 14/52.\n\n429\n\nNorth China\n\nThe Committee have great pleasure in congratulating the North China Daily News upon its fiftieth anniversary, and in expressing cordial good wishes for its continued prosperity. This Association was founded 26 years ago largely through the instrumentality of Mr. R. S. Gundry, who for many years had been the Editor of that paper, and throughout all these years we have been greatly indebted to its weekly edition, The North China Herald, for much valuable information in connection with events in the Far East.\n\nThe Committee are glad to have this opportunity of bearing testimony to the independent attitude, sound judgment, and high standard of journalism continuously maintained by this, the oldest foreign paper in China. A large proportion of the members of this Association were formerly resident in China, of which they have the kindliest remembrances, and desire to acknowledge the influence of the North China Herald in maintaining their interest in current events there.\n\nChinese.\n\nThe Annual Report of the Committee of Management on the progress of the School of Chinese, and Statement of Accounts to the 31st December, will be found on pages 7/13 of the Supplement.\n\nThe annual examination of the School was again undertaken by the Rev. W. E. Soothill, whose interesting review of the work done during the year forms part of the Committee's Report. In last year's Report, it was noted that Mr. Edmund Backhouse had been offered the appointment of Professor at the School rendered vacant by the death of Professor Owen. Mr. Backhouse was, however, unable to accept the offer, which was later extended to, and accepted by, the Rev. S. B. Drake, whose efficient services the Committee have been pleased to acknowledge.\n\nLest members should think the correspondence in the Report not only bulks less year by year, but also becomes less interesting, the Committee...",

Of course the Vancouver city list is a very large one, and I presume the man's application slipped through accidentally.\n\n\"As soon as the matter was reported to me, I put the case in the hands of Crown Prosecutor McKay, instructing him to lose no time in investigating and acting if he determined that a prosecution would lie under the circumstances. Mr. McKay is at this moment searching at the office of the registrar of voters for the original application form on which Rahim swore that he was qualified as an elector in the Vancouver City electoral district.\"\n\n## RAHIM ADJOURNED ON $10,000 BAIL.\n\nHoussein Rahim, a Hindu merchant of Vancouver, was brought before Magistrate Shaw in the Police Court charged with perjury. After the charge had been stated, His Worship fixed bail at $10,000 and adjourned the case until Monday (1st April, 1912).\n\nThe detectives who made the arrest also executed a warrant of search of the effects of Rahim. To a representative of the Vancouver Daily Province, Detective Thompson said: \"We found among Rahim's papers a quantity of Industrial Workers of the World literature, also a petition signed by a number of Hindus for the removal of Mayor Findlay from office.\"\n\nRahim was arrested yesterday afternoon on a warrant signed by Arthur Sampson, chief of the provincial police of this city, and executed by Detectives Thompson and Levis of the city force. The warrant alleges that Houssein Rahim did on the 14th day of September, 1911, swear falsely before William E. Flumerfelt in that he was a qualified elector in the Vancouver electoral district.\n\nThe maximum penalty for conviction on such a charge is fourteen years' imprisonment.\n\n## RAHIM COMMITTED ON PERJURY CHARGE.\n\nThere was political color and an echo of the recent elections in the preliminary hearing of the charge of perjury against the Hindu, Houssein Rahim, who was committed for trial by Magistrate Shaw, on April 1st. Mr. W. M. McKay, Crown prosecutor, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. G. E. McCrossan for the accused.\n\n| Name | Role |\n| --- | --- |\n| Mr. Geo. D. McKay | Registrar of Voters |\n| Mr. W. E. Flumerfelt | Commissioner for taking affidavits |\n| Detective Thompson | Detective who arrested Rahim |\n| Mr. William Hopkinson | Dominion immigration officer and Hindu interpreter |\n\nMr. Geo. D. McKay, Registrar of Voters, admitted placing Rahim's name on the list from an affidavit signed by Mr. Flumerfelt, whom he knew to be a commissioner duly appointed for taking affidavits under the Provincial Elections Act. He said he had no suspicion in placing the name on the list, as there were Russian and other foreign names somewhat like it, and where you had between 20,000 and 25,000 names to deal with, it was impossible to scrutinize each closely.\n\n\"So you let this name pass?\" said Mr. McCrossan. \"Yes, I did.\" \"Well, I am not blaming you,\" said Mr. McCrossan. \"It is the system.\"\n\nMr. W. E. Flumerfelt admitted that the signature attached to the affidavit was his. \"And did this Hindu, Houssein Rahim, appear before you on this occasion?\" asked Mr. McKay. \"No,\" said the witness, \"he never appeared before me at all. I think somebody has tried to play me and get this application in. I suppose in looking over the papers as I do each evening before placing them in the vault I found that this had been slipped into my papers, and I, glancing over it, thought, 'This has escaped me. I do not see how I have forgotten it, and I had better sign it up.'\"\n\nDetective Thompson said he had arrested Rahim. When he had given him notice of it, he had said, \"there was nothing to it, and it would be the best boost ever given to the cause.\" \"But you did find a great deal of Socialistic literature?\" said Mr. McKay. \"It is no crime to be a Socialist,\" said Mr. McCrossan.\n\nMr. William Hopkinson, Dominion immigration officer and Hindu interpreter, said that Rahim had come to Vancouver from Honolulu on the S.S. Moana in January, 1910. He had represented himself as a tourist going through to Montreal and New York, and had been allowed to land. Two months later, he saw him again, and he told him that he had completed his trip to Montreal, and was returning. Rahim said he was born in Delhi, India. He spoke three Indian languages: Hindustani, Punjabi, and Gujerati.\n\nMr. McCrossan said he had no desire to make political capital out of the case, nor, he was sure, had his learned friend. His client was simply being tried on a criminal charge, and he contended that there was no evidence that would justify even a committal for trial. All the evidence they had that the accused was a Hindu was the statement that he had been born in India, but that no more made him a Hindu than being born in England made a man an Englishman.\n\nMr. McKay promptly produced the interpretation of \"Hindu\" under the Elections Act: \"Any person born in India, not of Anglo-Saxon parents.\" Mr. McCrossan said that anyhow the charge of perjury must fail, because it had never been proved that his client had been sworn before the commissioner. On the other hand, they had the direct testimony of the commissioner himself that he never had been sworn.\n\nAfter some further argument, Magistrate Shaw said that he must commit the accused for trial.\n\n## THE WHITE MAN'S TITLE DEEDS.\n\nThat ancient theory of the equality of mankind receives a rude jolt when people talk of keeping this \"a white man's country.\" Australia is doing the same. In South Africa, once a black man's country, the new white people are raising the same banner. Where did these white men get their title deeds?\n\nToday, Mr. Stevens, the member for Vancouver in the Dominion House, warns Eastern Canada against sympathizing with the desire of the Sikhs to bring in their wives and children. He says that no man who supports this request can be elected a pound-keeper in the province of British Columbia. But who gave the whites the title deeds of Alberta and British Columbia, or any other settled or unsettled portion of the earth?\n\nThe Earl Dudley, late Governor-General of Australia, points out that in Australia four and a half million people control three million square miles of territory, and refuse to admit the people who are not absolutely white. He questions their ability to successfully maintain that position should Great Britain once cease to control India and the peace of the East. Apparently, he foresees a time when the white population will be asked to show their title deeds.\n\nIf Great Britain finds the Sikhs the most valuable portion of the Indian army, why shouldn't Canada, Australia, and South Africa bring in a certain number of these big men from the Punjab to help defend the title deeds? They have proved themselves loyal, courageous, exemplary under discipline. They would add much to the defensive forces of the different Dominions. There are only two millions of them in the Punjab, and the surplus there will not allow many for each Dominion, but even a few would help. Moreover, it would show that Canada is limiting oriental immigration on moral and national grounds rather than on a mere colour prejudice. It would be at least a partial justification of our Christian principles and our interest in foreign missions. *The Canadian Courier*.\n\n## 'TIS A DIVINITY THAT SHAPES OUR ENDS ROUGH HEW THEM HOW WE WILL.\n\nReferring to the case of Mrs. Bhag Singh and Mrs. Bawant Singh and their children, who are under orders for deportation, Prof. Teja Singh has written the following letter to a Vancouver paper:\n\n\"The calumnies and the direct and indirect lies uttered about the Sikh have for the time being produced the result that the manufacturers of these stories aimed at. But such a success is always ephemeral, as all race prejudice ultimately reacts upon those who are moved by it.\n\nFor the experience of India and all other nations has shown that those communities or nations who, being blinded by some external superiority of color, social, political, or economic position, begin ostracizing other peoples as barbarians, savages, or undesirables, are ultimately overwhelmed by those very races whom they looked down upon.\n\nThe ancient Aryans of India when they became so narrow-minded were ultimately conquered by those very people whom they called the Malechhas (the untouchables and the impious); the civilized Romans overrun by the barbarians at whom they sneered; and the Persians by the nomadic Turks whom they styled as rude and illiterate freebooters.\n\nThus has the divine law, which is slowly and steadily bringing all the races together for enabling them to acquire a real spirit of charity and brotherhood, always broken the pride of those who, blinded by their material power and superficial civilization, have worked against the marching tide of human atonement.\n\nHistory is repeating itself on an immensely larger and broader scale, and the Dominion of Canada, the U. S. A., and the Southern Republics of America are destined to be the meeting place of all the races of the world.\n\nThe tidal waves of racial union are part of a great world movement, and any artificial barriers... \n## Page 612",

        "content_text": "## CANADA AND INDIA\n\ntonomy.\" Local self-government should not be a mere sham, but based on real foundations as contemplated by that noble Viceroy, the Marquis of Ripon. The Arms Act must disappear from the statute book, and no limitation should be laid on the entry of Indians into any public service. Volunteers should be enlisted freely from all classes. Agriculture must be improved and commerce and industry helped. Education will have to be free and compulsory. I have refrained from laying down any cut-and-dry scheme of self-government. I suggest that there should be unanimity on these questions amongst all the people of India, and I can conceive of no better agency than that of a joint deputation of the Congress and the League, which would place our demands before the British public and the British Government.\n\n### SELF-GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE\n\nOne of the most important resolutions passed was that moved by Mr. Jinnah for the appointment of a Committee to formulate a scheme for self-government after conferring with other political bodies. Mr. Jinnah said that his object was that the two representative organizations, namely, the National Congress and the Muslim League, should, without the slightest prejudice to their interests and with due regard to the needs of Mussulmans, formulate a scheme and go to the authorities, those responsible for the administration of India, and say, 'Here is a demand in the united name of India.\"\n\nMr. Iaque, in seconding the resolution, said: \"It was stated that the view expressed by the National Congress was the view of all communities, minus the Mohammedans. But the Muslim League represented 70 millions of Mohammedans, and the united demand from the Congress and the League must be, according to common arithmetic, the united voice of the people of India.\"\n\nThe resolution was passed unanimously.\n\n### INDIAN SOCIAL CONFERENCE\n\nThe 29th Indian National Social Conference was held Dec. 30th in the Congress pandal, Bombay. A special feature of the session was the large number of Indian ladies present, about 1,600, and six of them were among the speakers.\n\n### INDIA'S GREATEST NEED\n\nProfessor Karve, in his Presidential address, which dealt very widely with the subject of education, said:\n\nComing now to the practical questions that are constantly knocking at our social doors for solution, I must say at the outset that to my mind the greatest need of Indian society at the present day is education. I do not know if you will all agree with me in placing education at the forefront of social questions. It may, perhaps it does, have a political aspect. But looking at it socially; want of education is the one canker that has been eating up the vitals of India. If there is injustice and wrong in society, it is because society is mostly buried deep in ignorance. Evil is the offspring of darkness, and there can be no darkness blacker than that of ignorance. No wonder if the Indian social world appeared to an outsider to be a scene of discord and division. What else can it be when that light which reduces all chaos to order is denied to it? Ninety per cent. of the population live and move and have their being without any opportunity of drinking at the living fountain of knowledge? The inner eye, with them, is never opened. Life to them is no more, no higher, than a struggle of hungry creatures, where might has a right to crush all weakness out of existence. The first thing that we ought to look to, therefore, is universal education. No re-adjustment of the social polity is possible unless every man, woman and child in the land is able at least to read, write and reckon.\n\nOn the political platform, the cause of universal elementary education was first emphatically espoused by my friend, the late Hon. Mr. G. K. Gokhale, and I hope the late patriot's efforts, backed by the unanimous voice of the country, will not fail ultimately to bear fruit. But we cannot afford to wait till the Government of the land are pleased to take up the question. We ought to bestir ourselves to supplement the endeavors of Government wherever we can.\n\nResolutions were adopted urging the abolition of the caste system, and advocating intercaste marriage, the education of girls, re-marriage of widows, raising of the marriageable age of girls to sixteen years, abolition of the purdah system, education and training of widows, elevation of the depressed classes, protection of minor girls, social purity, and condemning the system of indentured labor.\n\n### MOHAMMEDAN EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE\n\n#### FREE AND COMPULSORY EDUCATION\n\nThe Mohammedan Educational Conference met at Poona, December 28th, in a spacious building erected for the occasion.\n\nThe president of the Reception Committee, in his opening remarks, said: \"So long as the scope of primary education is not widened, the progress of the Mohammedan community is impossible, and in order to achieve this object, it is necessary that the Government should make primary education not only free, but compulsory.\n\nOne of the most important resolutions passed by the Conference was \"That the principle of free and compulsory education should be recognized, and that as a step towards it the municipalities of the larger cities be empowered to levy an educational cess with a view to instituting free and compulsory education.\" In seconding this resolution Hon. Mr. Justice Abdur Rahim said that both Hindus and Mohammedans had impressed upon the Government the absolute necessity for this step. He instanced the State of Baroda, which had introduced free and compulsory education, and said that a beginning should be made in the larger cities in British India.\n\n### INDIAN WOMEN AND NATIONAL WEEK\n\nThe Indian National Social Conference had 1,600 ladies in attendance and six women speakers. Mrs. Sarojini Naidu was invited to speak before the Mohammedan Educational Conference, the Industrial Conference and other organizations. Fifty ladies attended the Hindu Intercaste Dinner, and let the superior West observe that these did not look down from a gallery upon the dining men, but sat down with them.\n\nThere were 750 ladies, delegates and visitors in attendance at the National Congress. A choir of Hindu, Mohammedan and Parsi girls opened the daily proceedings with singing. Mrs. Sarojini Naidu sat upon the platform, and spoke in support of the leading resolution that for self-government. A band of lady volunteers assisted in looking after the guests. In the words of an Indian reporter: \"Women acted as volunteers, women chanted the invocations before the Congress proceedings began, women attended the Congress as visitors and delegates, and women spoke with their musical voices from the Congress platform not merely on questions affecting women's interests alone, but of the Indians as a class. One's heart thrills with joy when such things happen. God's blessing on them.\"\n\n## CANADA\n\n### CANADA AND INDIA\n\nBoth Canada and India, after the war, are destined to have more important places in the Empire than they have hitherto commanded. Their loyal devotion and sacrifice at this time have won for them those higher places, and it does not require a prophetic voice to give assurance of their being called to higher duties. But if Canada and India are destined for higher places in the mother's house, they should be drawn together more intimately as children in that house, and in practical life give evidence of their relationship. We do not pretend to know all the ins and outs of the question, but we feel sure that there must be some way for dealing with the Hindu and Sikh question in Canada that will evidence brotherliness and Christian principles to a greater extent than has yet been experienced. - \"The Canadian Baptist.\"\n\n### THE SIKHS IN CANADA\n\nAlbert Ernest Stafford writes in the \"World\":\n\nThere is no reason to suppose that the Sikhs have any other object in coming to Canada than to establish themselves in an agricultural community. In a country such as Ontario, where settlers are at a premium, it might be thought they would be welcomed in the northland wastes. In British Columbia, there should be plenty of room for millions like them. The more men there are on the land, the more food there will be for the artisan and mechanic, and instead of fearing competition, the labor men should find their wages enhanced in value by the greater agricultural output. The big railways may discover the advantage of getting agricultural settlers of this highly cultivated type, and should they do so, the prairie provinces will quickly respond to the stimulus of such settlement. But the shameful problem in British Columbia at present is the refusal of the church people, the labor men, and the politicians to permit the Sikh settlers to have their wives and children brought from India. For not less than five years, and some of them for longer, these Sikh men have been separated from their families by the desire and act of our Christian community. They came over here in good faith, and invested their funds in land. Many have gone back at great loss, but 2,000 or 3,000 still remain. They are British subjects, and they are denied their rights. They are industrious and thrifty, and these virtues are regarded as crimes. They have a lofty and spiritual religion, and they are branded as heathen. And we are mightily offended when the Germans tell us that we practise hypocrisy. Our treatment of the Sikhs is one of the weak spots in our armor, and while we have no business politically to say anything to British Columbia, I am satisfied that the stronger our views are privately on the matter, the better for us as a nation. The women of India, the Sikh women and children, divorced from their husbands and fathers, challenge our caste worship. And what poem shall Sarojini Naidu write about British Columbia?\n\n### THE HINDU IN CANADA\n\nDr. Sunder Singh writes in \"The Christian Guardian\":\n\nThe people of Canada are not aware that the unrighteous and un-Christian treatment given to the Hindus in British Columbia (and especially the well-known and yet so little understood Komagata Maru episode) is really accountable for almost all the recent trouble in India about which we hear so much.\n\nIn the interests of the Empire, and Canada in particular, we should be more liberal in our desire to remove the barriers which are preventing a better understanding of India. We can do this by investigating the truth, and in the meantime discourage the exaggerated and apparently biased reports which are circulated from time to time. Let us remember how much India is rallying to the aid of the Empire's battles. This she is apparently doing without stint.\n\nWould it not be a wise thing for our ministers to investigate the truth of the British Columbia charges, with a view to bringing together the representatives of India and Canada on a fair and equitable basis after the war, and in the meantime resolve that they will remove, in the interests of morality and justice, the barrier to the families of the Hindus domiciled in Canada joining them? India has stood by us in this great war, so let us at least show a little appreciation by permitting the families of the Hindus in Canada to reach their husbands and fathers. Then the question of Oriental immigration can be dealt with, and a definite standard erected that will give the Hindus a common footing with the Japanese, Chinese, negroes, Bulgars and others. At present, gross discrimination against the Hindu appears to prevail. Surely this matter can be settled from a Christian and ethical standpoint.\n\n### THE STRONGEST OF ALL BONDS\n\n\"Canada and India,\" a journal published in Toronto, takes as its motto the words, \"The strongest of all British bonds are knowledge and sympathy.\"\n\nThese are true words, and they should be considered deeply, and applied to all our relations. What, after all, is the fundamental reason for the British unity that has been shown in this war? It is sympathy - a sense of brotherhood as between the people of Canada and the other outlying commonwealths of the British Empire and the people of the United Kingdom. We think of India too much as an abstraction. We think of India, but not enough of Indians as human beings and fellow-Britishers. In order to have a true British union, we must break down the prejudices of race and creed, and dwell only upon the common bond of humanity. Remember that the natives of India are three-fourths of the people of the British Empire. - Toronto Star.\n\n### VEDANTA SOCIETY\n\nDr. Sunder Singh lectures every Sunday afternoon in the Foresters' Hall on the religions of the East.\n\n### CANADA INDIA COMMITTEE\n\nThe Committee has been carrying on very successfully a series of drawing-room meetings in the city. About twenty have already been held, resulting in much interest and a large increase of membership.\n\nIn consequence of a fire, the Committee was obliged to remove from the room on Richmond Street to 158 Bay Street, Toronto. Information and literature may be obtained there on personal application or letter to the Secretary. Visitors and workers are always welcome.\n\n### WHAT FRIENDS MAY DO\n\nFriends interested in bringing about a better understanding between India and Canada may give time and attention to study the movement.\n\nThey may give effort in public speaking and in organizing their communities.\n\nThey may use the local press, the men's and women's clubs, young people's organizations, churches, missionary societies, or any social or literary organization to inform the public.\n\nThey may make personal effort among their acquaintances. They may write to lawmakers, asking support of bills for making just laws on this question.\n\nPage 626",

        "content_text": "## GREAT BRITAIN\n\n## CANADA AND INDIA\n\n### THE KING AND HIS INDIAN OFFICERS\n\nHis Majesty the King, accompanied by the Queen, received on February 11th, at Buckingham Palace, a loyal address presented by twenty-six Indian officers, who were about to return invalided to India.\n\nIn his reply His Majesty the King-Emperor said:-\n\nI welcome your presence as a symbol of the unity of the Empire and as setting a seal upon the heroic efforts and sacrifices in which my Indian soldiers, yourselves among them, have borne a common part with all my Forces from Overseas and from the Mother Country.\n\nI am deeply touched by your declaration of loyalty and gratitude to myself; but not less by the generous recognition which you pay to the kindliness and brotherly feeling which you have met at the hands of all your fellow subjects, the inhabitants of these islands. They are conscious, as I am, that the loyal devotion of India to the common heritage for which we are fighting—a devotion to which we have never looked in vain—has been consecrated afresh by the blood of India's sons, shed far from their homes and in a quarrel which, whilst the might of the Empire protects India's shores, does not come near to the lives and fortunes of their kith and kin. But the liberties of the Empire were put into the scale and with them the liberties which India has enjoyed under our rule, and which, please God, she will enjoy in increasing measure as she advances in the path of social improvement and political experience.\n\nI welcome the expression of your thanks for the careful and scrupulous regard which all my officers under my directions have paid to the requirements of your religious usages. I honour the concern which you tell me you felt lest the circumstances of your life in a strange country might imperil the due observance of the rites which are sanctified for you by the dictates of your religions and the immemorial customs of your forefathers. I recall to mind the words in which my revered predecessor, the Queen-Empress Victoria, declared to her Indian subjects of whatever creed on assuming sway over their lives her will that \"none be anywise favoured, none molested or disquieted by reason of their religious faith or observances; but that all shall alike enjoy the equal and impartial protection of the law; and We do strictly charge and enjoin all those who may be in authority under Us that they abstain from all interference with the Religious Belief or Worship of any of Our Subjects, on pain of Our highest Displeasure.\"\n\nIt will ever be the cherished duty of my House and Throne to guard the sacred promise then given in the letter and in the spirit.\n\n### THE HINDU UNIVERSITY\n\nOn February 4th there took place in Benares an event of unique importance in the history of India—the laying of the foundation stone of the Hindu University by the Viceroy. This impressive function was the culmination of twelve years of effort. The scheme of an All-India Hindu University was first projected at a meeting held under the presidency of the Maharajah of Benares in 1904. In 1911 the Hindu University Society was formed for its further development. In 1912 it received the approval of the Secretary of State for India, and in 1915 the bill for the establishment of Benares Hindu University was passed into law. The main features of this University, which distinguish it from the existing Universities, are, first, that it will be a teaching and residential University; secondly, that while it will be open to all castes and creeds, it will insist upon religious instruction for Hindus; and thirdly, that it will be conducted and managed by the Hindu community and almost entirely by non-officials.\n\nThe idea of an All-India Hindu University has appealed to all classes of the Indian people, and contributions, large and small, have poured in. A long list of Maharajas and other prominent men have donated a lakh of rupees ($33,000) each to the funds. Large amounts have been collected at meetings held in different parts of India. At a recent meeting in Madras 60,000 rupees ($20,000) were collected. The Government of India also has given a grant of one lakh of rupees a year. So that the university will begin its career with a substantial financial backing. The site chosen extends over 1,200 acres, and was selected as affording especial facilities for the progressive development of a great University.\n\nLord Hardinge, in his reply to the address read by the Maharajah of Darbhanga, said:—\n\nThis foundation stone will mark a definite step in the advance towards an ideal that has stirred to its very depths the imagination of India. The demand for enlightenment and educational progress grows ever stronger, and the ceremony we are gathered here to perform offers no small response to that demand, and may perhaps pave the way for its more rapid fulfilment.\n\n### ITS HIGH AIMS\n\nHere, at any rate, in this city is a cause where we can all stand together upon a common platform, for no one can dispute that the Benares Hindu University will add to the facilities for higher education and to some extent lighten the pressure of the existing institutions, while it is the proud boast of at least one of those who have so successfully engineered this movement, that the degree of the Benares Hindu University shall be not only not lower, but higher in standard than those of the existing Universities. It has even been claimed that this University will only justify its existence when the education given within its precincts shall make it unnecessary for Indian students to go to foreign countries for their studies and when such expeditions will be limited to advanced scholars and professors, who will travel abroad to exchange ideas with the doctors and learned men of other continents in order to make the latest researches in all branches of knowledge available to them. That is a great and noble aim which I hope may be fulfilled in this University, and think all will admit that the Government have not been backward to give their co-operation and assistance to a scheme so full of promise.\n\n### REVIVAL OF ANCIENT IDEAL\n\nPerhaps I was wrong to say that these principles are new to India. Though in ancient time there was nothing quite like a modern University, its prototype may be dimly discerned in the far distant past, and the tradition that has come down to us is one of thousands of students gathered round the great teachers as Vasishtha and Gautama, and indeed the whole Indian idea of education is wrapped up in the conception of a group of pupils surrounding their Guru in loving reverence and not only imbibing the words of wisdom that fall from his lips, but also looking up to him for guidance in religion and morality and moulding their characters in accordance with his precept and example.\n\nYou hope in the not far distant future to see preserved and fostered all that is best in Hindu ideas of life and thought, all that is noblest of Hindu religion and tradition, culture and civilization, and grafted upon that tree, healthy and strong in its own natural soil, you hope to see growing in it and of it all that is good and great of Western science, industry and art so that your young men may go forth not only inspired with pure and noble ideals, but also equipped for the development of their mother country along the more material lines of progress and prosperity.\n\nOn the two days following the stone-laying ceremony, lectures were given by distinguished Indians, among others the world-famed scientists, Dr. J. C. Bose and Dr. P. C. Roy.\n\nIn the course of his address on \"Invisible Life\" Dr. Bose spoke as follows:-\n\nTo be organic and vital, our new University must stand primarily for self-expression, and for winning for India a place she has lost. Knowledge is never the exclusive possession of any particular race, nor does it recognize geographical limitations. The whole world is interdependent, and a constant stream of thought has been carried out throughout the ages, enriching the common heritage of mankind. Although science was neither of the East nor of the West, but international in its universality, certain aspects of it gained richness by reason of their place of origin. Has India then any great contribution to offer for the advance of human knowledge?\n\nIn the West there has been no check or limit to the competition for personal gain and lust for power in exploiting the application of knowledge, nor so much for staying as for causing destruction.\n\n### POWER OF DETACHMENT\n\nThis gives us a new look at the innate restraining power that governs Indian life and culture. We may call it the force of detachment, or, for want of a better phrase, the impulse of spirituality. Let us see how this common heritage rests on the Indian mind.\n\n### THE EXAMPLE OF ASOKA\n\nAs an extreme case let us see how one of the greatest of warrior kings became suddenly changed under its dominating influence even at the moment of his greatest victory. In the ninth year of his reign his arms were successful, and the extensive territories of Kalinga were incorporated with his Empire. This is what the Emperor Asoka writes on the imperishable stone as the record of his triumph: \"His Majesty feels remorse on account of the conquest of the Kalingas. Although a man should do him injury, he holds that it must be patiently borne. His Majesty desires for all security, peace of mind and joyousness, and the chiefest conquest is through righteousness.\"\n\n### MAN DEDICATED TO KNOWLEDGE\n\nSo much about the man of the world; as regards the other man who truly dedicates his life for the quest of knowledge in our country, any longing for personal gain or misuse of his knowledge would be worse than sacrilege. Poised as he is between the infinity of the past and the infinity of the future, between the universes of the worlds and the universes of atoms, can anything be worth his while, for so sorry a price can his mind be satisfied with anything less sublime than to be merged in the rhythmic sweep of the world-spirit itself! The excessive specialization in the West has led to the danger of our losing sight of the fundamental truth that there are not sciences, but a single science that includes all.\n\n### WIDER SYNTHESIS POSSIBLE TO INDIA\n\nIndia is perhaps through her habit of mind better able to realize a wider synthesis. One of the greatest contributions in the realm of science would undoubtedly be the establishment of a great generalization, not merely speculative, but based on an actual demonstration of an underlying unity, amidst bewildering diversity. Shall this great glory be for India to win?\n\n### EDUCATION IN INDORE MADE COMPULSORY\n\nFollowing the good example set by Their Highnesses the Gaekwar of Baroda and the Maharaja of Mysore, His Highness the Maharaja Holkar of Indore has made elementary education compulsory throughout his State, and thus has earned the gratitude of his people. His Highness has made adequate provision for building and maintaining additional schools for the fulfilment of his object, and as soon as these schools are ready this order will take effect.\n\n### EXPERIMENT IN BARODA\n\nAn interesting experiment in the progressive State of Baroda in the matter of providing free refreshments for school children has proved a splendid success.\n\nHis Highness the Gaekwar appointed a commission some time ago to suggest changes in the system of education in Baroda. The commission, among other things, pointed out the growing physical degeneracy of the youth, and thought that the reason was that the boys attending school at ten in the morning had to stay in school till the evening without refreshments in the interval. The system of providing free refreshments to boys was introduced in a model school and tried for the last four months, with the result that there has been a marked improvement in the condition of the boys.\n\n### WAR AND EDUCATION\n\nUnfortunately the movement to curtail educational grants is now in full swing, and it is growing apace without the slightest opposition from the people. One by one all the Local Governments have announced curtailments of expenditure. There will be no State-aided buildings for existing or new schools, there will be no grants for improving laboratories or libraries, and possibly the newly-started schools may not receive even teaching grants. The total educational grants in the country had been smaller this year than last year, and owing to the new decision for further retrenchment, there will be a further fall, so that I should not be surprised if the total State assistance for 1915-16 should be less than in 1913-14, or than what it was when Lord Hardinge announced his first large instalment of grants. This is by far the heaviest blow of the war so far as this country is concerned.\n\nThe first question for consideration is whether retrenchment is necessary. In England they have fought it, so far as education is concerned, and they have succeeded to no small extent. Why should we not follow their example?\n\n### INDIAN DRAMA\n\n#### A NEW PLAY AND A NEW MOVEMENT\n\nIn January there was performed at Calcutta by the pupils of the Bolpur Brahmacharya Ashram a new play by Sir Rabindranath Tagore, called \"The Cycle of Spring,\" which promises to be epoch-making. Concerning this dramatic venture, \"New India\" writes as follows:-\n\nIt is a notable feature of intellectual activity that no renaissance is ever limited to one phase. A political upheaval is sure to be accompanied by some revival in the Arts; a dramatic renaissance will find itself reflected in a quickened National perception. It was so in Ireland, fifteen years ago. It is in process of being so in India, to-day. There is a new India in politics, a new India in painting, and a new India is beginning to express itself on the stage. To-day at Calcutta, in a secluded ancestral square off a busy street, a number of schoolboys will enact a new play written for them by their Guru. That Guru is Rabindranath Tagore, and he himself will play one of the parts.\n\nSuch is the simple fact; but the significance of the matter is that the world-famed poet has taken over the work of the evolution of the drama, which the sword of Mars has struck from the hand of Europe. From the dull artificiality of the late Victorian cup-and-saucer drama, the stage was saved on the side of its subject-matter by Bernard Shaw. The Irish movement added a soul to Shaw's brain. India will, we believe, bring the Spirit into the drama.\n\nSuch a development of dramatic consciousness must necessarily bring about changes in method. When the drama was dealing simply with the outer world of desire, which is the circumference of the mental world, its craft was on a single plane. The adding of soul to the brain put another story to play construction. The coming of the Spirit calls for a more responsive medium of expression, a medium that will not obscure but reveal \"the more than man\" and woman that has been seeking entrance to all the Arts.\n\nWe see such an instrument in the delicate and luminous method which Sir Rabindranath has adopted, and we rejoice that it is being developed in his own native Bengali. From such a centre of vivid life a sincere art will be carried forward and will react profoundly on the entire dramatic world. The four scenes of the play are entitled Outburst, Search, Doubt, and Discovery. The final chorus is as follows:\n\nCome and rejoice!\n\nFor April is awake.\n\nFling yourselves into the flood of being bursting the bondage of the past.\n\nApril is awake.\n\nLife's shoreless sea is heaving in the sun before you;\n\nAll the losses are lost and death is drowned in its waves.\n\nPlunge into the deep without fear with the gladness of April in your blood.\n\nFor those who want to know more about India, we call attention to the following books, which, as well as copies of *Canada and India*, can be obtained from McAnish & Co., Ltd, publishers, 4 College Street, Toronto: *\"The Web of Indian Life,\"* and *\"Footfalls in Indian History,\"* by Sister Nivedita (Margaret Noble); *\"Religion of the Sikhs,\"* by Dorothy Field.\n\nJust published: *\"True Story of the Hindu Case in Canada.\"* Price 7c., postpaid.

        "content_text": "# TO INDIA. \n\n## AN ANTHEM OF LOVE. \n\n### CANADA AND INDIA \n\nTwo hands are we to serve thee, O our Mother,  \nTo strive and succour, cherish and unite;  \nTwo feet are we to cleave the warring darkness,  \nAnd gain the pathways of the dawning light.  \nTwo ears are we to catch the nearing echo,  \nThe sounding cheer of Time's prophetic horn;  \nTwo eyes are we to reap the crescent glory,  \nThe radiant promise of renascent morn.  \nOne heart are we to love thee, O our Mother,  \nOne undivided, indivisible soul,  \nBound by one hope, one purpose, one devotion,  \nTowards a great, divinely destined goal.  \n—Mrs. Sarojini Naidu.  \n\n### ISSUED BY \n**CANADA INDIA COMMITTEE** \n158 Bay \n\n## AUSTRALIA AND INDIA. \nBy the Rev. C. F. Andrews. (From the \"Modern Review.\")  \n\nI have been trying to study carefully the dominant ideas underlying modern Australian life in their relation to India, and have been surprised to find how small is the margin of conflict. I have had to modify considerably some of the points that I regarded as axioms, and in certain fundamental ways to change my thoughts concerning Australians themselves.  \n\nBy accident of fortune, trend of circumstance, and hard-fought conflict combined, Australia has become more and more the working man's close preserve, his unchallenged estate. The laborers, who found it difficult to win even one of their rights and privileges in England, have entered into them all with extraordinary ease and rapidity in Australia. There have been many wild adventures and brilliant successes of capitalists, as some new gold mine has been discovered, or some new patent cold-storage has been invented; but, notwithstanding all this, the country has never got into the capitalists' hands. The laborers have struggled to their kingdom, and have won it so securely that now they have the capitalist almost at their mercy.  \n\nIt may be that the pendulum has swung too far; that labor has got too completely the upper hand; that there has been much that is sordid and selfish in the labor policy. This may be readily granted; yet the victory has been a signal one all the same. It is one of the new landmarks in the history of the world, and it is of far greater significance to humanity than the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, or the German invasion of Belgium.  \n\n### THE CRY FOR A \"WHITE AUSTRALIA.\" \nBut how, then, comes in this cry for a wholly white Australia? ... our fear of the \"color prejudice,\" but that in the exigencies of warfare they soon become not only next-door neighbors, but also the best of comrades (I am certain this last part is true, every word). Invariably, whenever I told that story to Australians, their comment was that in those conditions there would have been no objection among them at all to \"colored\" men, and they were quite misunderstood on the \"color\" question. They pointed out to me how glad Australians were when they heard that Indian troops were going out to fight along with the British at the front—quite a different mood from a considerable volume of English opinion in South Africa which rather resented it and thought it might lower the dignity of the white man.  \n\nI think it may be fairly said that actually, in daily life, there is no more color prejudice in the \"Anzac zone,\" down here at the Antipodes, than there is in England itself—and for the same reason, because there is no experience. I would go further, and give very high praise to the New Zealander, where there is experience. For his treatment of the Maori has been recently almost exemplary. To open the door to full citizenship in fifty years to this different race; to give them the fullest facilities for education and to allow them to carry arms and take rank in the army where merit has been shown; to take them into the comradeship of sport; to cast no slur upon the children of intermarriage; to accomplish all this in fifty years is no small achievement.  \n\n### AN ECONOMIC OBJECTION. \nWhat, then, is this cry of \"White Australia\"? We must go back to our earlier historical setting, and study more carefully the labor struggle and the labor victory. At every point in this great, historic struggle the capitalist has endeavored to bring in, entirely for his own profit-making business, the colored man, who can work and live more cheaply than the white man. If the capitalist had been able to effect this, then the whole battle of Australian labor would have been lost. The capitalist to-day would have become master of the situation, and the laborer to-day would be his helot. There would be slums and foul places, and foul, unhealthy conditions in Australia to-day such as still exist, almost unheeded, in Europe. Labor has won its great battle on one condition, and one condition only, by fighting against the import of cheap industry from outside. That is what \"white Australia\" has meant hitherto.  \n\nIt is an evil term, and it should never have been used. It is a term which, every year, becomes more and more morally dangerous; for it tends to foster in the minds of young Australians a color-pride which is next-door to color-prejudice. It is a term which ought to be dropped as soon as possible, for it is grossly insulting to other races: and India and Japan and China are quite right in resenting its use most strongly. But, on the other hand, as I have tried to show, in its origin it is wholly, or almost wholly economic. In its origin it differs as widely as possible from that color-hatred in Africa, which is only in a small part economic, and is in a far greater measure a hardened racial instinct.  \n\n### INDIAN INDENTURED LABOR IN FIJI. \nHow, then, does this reading of Australian history affect the problem of Indian indentured labor in Fiji? Very materially indeed. For, if my argument has been followed, it will be seen that India has the whole of the victorious sentiment of Australia (which has won its own way out of labor-serfdom) on its own side. Australia, as a whole, would like to see indentured Indian labor in Fiji abolished to-morrow. Australia, as a whole, hates the very thought of such cheap, sweated, profit-making business as the great sugar factories are carrying on in Fiji. From one side of Australia to the other, and in New Zealand also, I have only heard one opinion when I have broached the subject: and that is, \"Abolish indenture in Fiji as soon as possible!\" If I say to them that the largest company in Fiji (the practical monopoly there) is an Australian company, they reply at once, \"We hate monopolies in Australia, and we would like this one smashed, as well as every other monopoly in the land.\" If I say to them, \"Would you be ready to stand up for the rights of colored labor in this matter, as you would for the rights of white labor?\" they will answer, \"We have no hold on Fiji at all, because it is a Crown Colony. But if it were to come under Australia we would do all we could to abolish it.\"  \n\nThere are many other sides of this widely ramifying question which I have consciously passed over in order to make one point clear. Australia and New Zealand are, both of them, in principle bound to support us in our own struggle to abolish the indenture system.  \n\nI have been obliged to talk about \"white\" and \"colored\" in this article, because these are the present Australian terms. I hate them myself, because they always seem to imply arrogance in the appropriation of the word \"white\" by the European. I believe we shall not get rid of the evil and hateful sentiments behind the use of the words until we give them up altogether and talk about our different nationalities without referring to \"color\" at all—at least for so long as \"white\" implies an arrogant and unwarranted assumption.  \n\nRabindranath Tagore's play, \"Chitra,\" was staged most successfully by the Arts and Letters Club of Toronto, on March 4th.  \n\n\"Canada and India\" is published every other month.

        "content_text": "# THE SIKHS IN CANADA\n\nMany of the Sikh community here have seen active service in the Indian Army and wear medals awarded for special bravery.\n\nA large number of them are engaged in agriculture, and of the remainder the majority are employed in railroad construction and maintenance, and in land clearing, factories, and lumber mills.\n\nBy industry, enterprise, and inherent temperate habits, they have succeeded in making a competency for themselves. They own their dwelling houses and other property in the cities of Vancouver and Victoria and round about these places. They have invested in British Columbia in real estate and business several millions of dollars.\n\nThe authorities in Canada have found them law-abiding and peaceful citizens.\n\n## HOW THE DIFFICULTY AROSE\n\nIn 1908, there was put into force by the Canadian Government in the Immigration Department restrictive legislation of such a character that immigration from India was practically stopped. This is shown by the fact that in the following years, only 117 have entered Canada according to immigration reports, and many of these only after considerable litigation.\n\nWhen the Indians had had time to get settled in Canada, they naturally, as do other immigrants, began to think of bringing their wives and children to share their lives here. They then found that the restrictive legislation made this impossible. This is shown by the following cases: In 1911, Mr. Hira Singh, an ex-soldier, settled in Canada, went to India to bring his wife and child. On his return, he was admitted as a Vancouver resident, but his wife and child were detained under a bond of $1,000 and were admitted only after three months' litigation, and then as an act of grace.\n\nIn 1912, Mr. Bhag Singh, who had served in the 10th Indian Cavalry, and Mr. Balwant Singh, at one time a soldier in the 36th Sikhs Infantry, had similar experiences. They had to give cash bonds for $2,000 and undergo more than three months of costly litigation before their wives and families were allowed to land in Vancouver and then as an act of grace.\n\n## EFFORTS FOR REDRESS\n\nIn 1911, a deputation of three Sikhs and one Canadian approached the Canadian Government with a petition in which it was said, \"The restriction that most presses and needs very immediate redress is the regulations that make it impossible for the wives and children of the Hindustanis residing in Canada to join them. The compulsory separation of families is punitive and in itself penal, and can only lawfully be applied to criminals by any civilized nation. It is contrary to every human instinct and jeopardizes the existence of the family life, which is the very foundation of the British Empire as a whole.\"\n\nIn 1912 and 1913, petitions of a like nature were presented to the Canadian Government.\n\nIn 1913, three Sikhs were sent as representatives of the Indians in Canada to present their case to the Imperial and Indian Governments, and especially to call attention to the fact that the restrictive legislation of Canada \"has the effect of placing the present Indian settlers in great hardship by precluding them from calling over their wives and children.\"\n\nThe Sikhs in British Columbia have given much effort and have spent over $200,000 in their endeavor to call attention to this disability under which they suffer.\n\n## EXPRESSIONS OF OPINION\n\nDr. Lawson, in \"Daily Colonist,\" Victoria, 1913, said: \"It was my duty to make a thorough physical examination of each emigrant at Hong Kong. I refer in particular to the Sikhs, and I am not exaggerating when I say that they were 100 per cent cleaner in their habits and freer from disease than the European steerage passengers I had come in contact with. The Sikhs impressed me as a clean, manly, honest race. I have not yet seen one good reason why they should not be permitted to bring their families in as freely as a European immigrant. Justice, humanity, and morality all cry for the removal of the restrictions which prevent the Sikh's enjoyment of home life.\"\n\nMrs. I. R. Broad, in \"Daily Colonist,\" 1913: \"The patience of the Sikhs as British subjects is being sorely tried. I wonder how many in British Columbia consider how galling it must be to those men who have so often proved that their loyalty is of great importance to the British Empire to see the Chinese and Japanese enjoying home life here while they are debarred from the enjoyment of this great blessing. They understand the objections that can be raised against their coming in large numbers, but why not admit the families of those who are here?\"\n\nElizabeth Ross Grace, Sask., in \"Christian Guardian,\" 1915: \"Three times during the past winter a Syrian Mohammedan pedlar has been at my door. The presence of these foreigners from an enemy's land has forced to attention questions of our immigration policy. Why are these Turkish Mohammedans allowed to enjoy the privileges of Canada with their wives and children, and our imperial brothers of India excluded? Why should the domiciled Hindus be refused the right of having with them their wives and children?\" \"Such questions our Canadian soldiers will have asked themselves by the side of the soldiers of India.\"\n\n## TIME FOR CHANGE\n\nThat many Canadian citizens are in sympathy with the efforts of the Indians to obtain the right to have their wives and families with them is evident from the expressions of opinion which have appeared from time to time in the Canadian press and elsewhere.\n\nPage 633",

        "content_text": "# THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS\n## 15th September, 1916.\n### THE HELENA MAY INSTITUTE FOR WOMEN.\n#### OPENED BY LADY MAY.\n##### SPEECH BY THE GOVERNOR.\n\nThe Helena May Institute for Women was opened by Lady May last evening with a golden key, in the presence of a large and representative gathering. Those present included: H.E. Governor and Lady May; Miss May; the Bishop of Victoria (Dr. Lander); Sir William and Lady Rees Davies; the Colonial Secretary (Hon. Mr. Claud Severn); the Hon. Mr. J. H. Kemp (Attorney-General) and Mrs. Kemp; the Hon. Mr. H. E. Pollock, K.C., and Mrs. Pollock; Mrs. Edkins; Sir Robert and Lady Ho Tung; the Hon. Mr. Lau Chu Pak, Mr. E. Relphs, etc., along with the two generous donors, Mr. Ellis Kadoorie and Mr. Ho Kom Tong.\n\nSpeaking from the steps of the building, Mr. Ho Kom Tong said:—\"Your Excellency, Lady May, ladies and gentlemen, It is a pleasure as well as an honour to me to be the spokesman on this occasion on behalf of Mr. Kadoorie and the others of us who have made ourselves responsible for the purchase of this site and the erection, furnishing and part endowment of this building. It is only fair to say at once that the brunt of the burden has been shouldered by Mr. Kadoorie, who has, from the beginning, devoted himself heart and soul to the completion of the project, and he therefore deserves the lion's share of the credit.\" (Applause.)\n\nNow let me explain what the project is, and how it originated. Early in 1914 the gracious lady whose name this Institute is to bear, Lady May, interested herself in the movement for the foundation of a hostel for women, the need for which had long been felt, and Mr. Kadoorie, on his own initiative, made his first generous offer which brought the scheme at once within the range of practical politics, stipulating only that if the funds required were secured and a building were erected it should be called after Lady May.\" (Applause.) He felt, as we all feel, that in asking her to allow her name to be associated with the Institute the honour was hers not to receive but to bestow. (Applause.) In fact, we are all glad that an opportunity has been brought into existence some tangible and permanent manifestation of the high esteem and affectionate regard in which her Ladyship is held in this Colony (applause) and I venture to think that this handsome building upon the portal of which her name is to remain in perpetuity, bids fair to be emblematic of her all-embracing sympathy and kindly concern for the welfare of every one with whom she is brought in contact. (Applause.)\n\nIn its inception, no doubt the paramount idea was to provide headquarters for working women either resident in or passing through the Colony, on the lines of similar places to be found in Colombo, Singapore and elsewhere in the East. But as the scheme took shape, and this site was found, it became clear that something rather more ambitious, and, at the same time, more comprehensive in its scope might with advantage be undertaken—an Institute that would offer to all alike opportunities of social intercourse, mutual helpfulness, improvement and recreation.\n\nI believe all formalities in connection with the legal transfer of the site and building to the \"Helena May Institute for Women\", with Lady May as the first President, have already been completed. The furnishing and equipment of the building have been considerably delayed by the difficulties of obtaining various articles from England under present conditions of shipping, but to all intents and purposes the Institute is now complete and ready for the purpose for which it is intended. It is a great pleasure to all of us who have been associated in its promotion to see the result of our efforts so satisfactorily attained, a result for which we owe a special debt of gratitude to our architect, Mr. Ram, and I now leave it to Mr. Kadoorie, to whom this special privilege undoubtedly belongs, to make the formal presentation of the key of the building to His Excellency Sir Henry May, whom it is our delight to honour. (Applause.)\n\nMr. Ellis Kadoorie, in handing the key to the Governor, said: \"Your Excellency, I am proud to have the privilege of handing you this key, with which I ask your Excellency to be graciously pleased to open this Institute, which I ...",

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\n## Moorings in Victoria Harbour\n\nRegarding Financial Minute 27, recommending a vote of $35,000 for the raising, renewing and re-arrangement of moorings in Victoria harbour.\n\n**Minute**\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said--With regard to Financial Minute No. 27 I would like to say a few words. The sums asked for are required to complete the payments for the purchase of the buoys and moorings in Victoria Harbour and for raising and renewing some of them.\n\nMembers will remember that I addressed the Secretary of State on this subject in August, 1914, and received his approval of the scheme on the 6th October, 1914. The correspondence is printed in Sessional Paper No. 17 of 1914. Owing to financial reasons the carrying out of the scheme was postponed during the first half of last year, but in October last I was able to report to the Secretary of State that the revenue receipts were so satisfactory that I had sanctioned the carrying into effect of a portion of the scheme involving the purchase of twenty C-class buoys at a cost of $85,000, and the relaying of some of them in the coal and rice anchorages at a cost of $5,000. A sum of $140,000 was also provided in the estimates of the current year for the purchase of further buoys and moorings and a sum of $10,000 for relaying some of them. The scheme has now been satisfactorily completed at a total cost of $252,437. With this sum 45 moorings have been purchased as compared with an estimate of $250,000 for 40 moorings. Great credit is due to the Acting Harbour Master (Commander Beckwith) and the Acting Assistant Harbour Master (the late Lieutenant Davey) for this successful result, but I would remind you that the suggestion to acquire the moorings was first made by Commander Basil Taylour in the year 1902. The sum of $30,000 now asked for is to complete the sum of $252,431 referred to and to provide a sum of $2,539, which will be used, in addition to the $5,000 for other charges, to complete the work of raising and renewing moorings.\n\nTHE COLONIAL TREASURER seconded, and this was agreed to.\n\n## Hon. Mr. Pollock, K.C., and the Government Civil Hospital\n\nHON. MR. H. E. POLLOCK, K.C., asked the following questions:\n\n1. With reference to the new allocation of Sisters in A Block of the Government Civil Hospital, which was made by His Excellency the Governor at the last meeting of Council on the 3rd August, will the Government answer the following questions, namely:\n   - (i). Did not Sister Kelsey, pursuant to permission granted prior to the said Meeting of Council, leave this Colony on long leave, on the 9th August?\n   - (ii). Have not the services of one of the Private Nurses been requisitioned for private nursing, so as to render her unavailable for Hospital work? During what dates between the 3rd August and the date of these Questions (21st August), have the services of such Private Nurse been required for private nursing?\n   - (iii). On what dates between the last Meeting of Council (3rd August) and the date of these Questions (21st August) have there been two Sisters on duty in the morning in A Block, namely, one Sister on each floor?\n   - (iv). On what dates between the said dates has there been a Sister on duty, attending to the operating theatre exclusively?\n   - (v). Is not Sister Gorham, pursuant to permission granted to her prior to the said Meeting of Council, due to go away from the Colony on long leave on the 30th August, 1916?\n   - (vi). When will Sister Sloan complete her present current period of 1 years' Service?\n   - (vii). Have the Government secured the service of any, and, if so, what Sister or Nurses since the last Meeting of Council?\n   - (viii). Has Sister Jacobs resigned from the Government Hospitals Service in this Colony?\n\n2. With reference to the re-arrangement of the Staff in B Block of the Government Civil Hospital, which was announced at the said Meeting of Council, under which re-arrangement the nursing of patients in B Block is left entirely to Probationers and Japanese Nurses, will the Government state the respective lengths of Service of the Probationers who are left in charge of B Block? And will the Government also state whether such Japanese Nurses, and, if so, how many of them possess a sufficient knowledge of English, written as well as spoken, to render them independent of the aid of an Interpreter into English, in the discharge of their duties? Are the Japanese Nurses in charge of the wards in B Block or are the Probationers in charge of such wards?\n\n3. Was not the stock of drugs and disinfectants kept in store at the Government Civil Hospital considerably reduced by the present Principal Civil Medical Officer before the War?\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY replied as follows:\n\n1. \n   - (i). Yes.\n   - (ii). One of the private Nursing Sisters went out to a case on 3rd August and remained with the case until the 12th September. \n   - (iii). From August 15th to 21st.\n   - (iv). From August 15th to 21st.\n   - (v). Yes. Sister Gorham was granted leave to go as soon as she desired to do so and she went on the 8th September.\n   - (vi). Sister Sloan completes four years' resident service on the 13th December. She does not know at present whether she will go in December or later.\n   - (vii).

Miss Jacobs was transferred by the Colonial Office to the Federated Malay States while on leave.\n\n2. Probationer Nurse Smith appointed 1st November, 1915. Probationer Nurse Roberts on the 12th November, 1915, and Probationer Nurse Meadows on the 4th April, 1916. As to the knowledge of English possessed by the Japanese Nurses the Superintendent writes as follows: All of them possess quite a fair knowledge of writing English and are able to do so intelligently. Nurses Mishima, Sakamoto, and Tsuchimoto understand spoken English quite well, but the other two not quite so well. They all have some difficulty in reading the written language. At present they do require some amount of interpreting, but I have no doubt they will improve with daily practice in hearing and in speaking the language. Under date of the 8th of September the Matron reported as follows: I find they are improving daily and their nursing is excellent. I am quite satisfied with their progress. The last two arrivals are very good indeed and speak English quite well; they both appear to be well-trained nurses. Dr. Moore expressed his opinion to me that the nursing has been done quite satisfactorily in B Block by these nurses.\n\n   As regards the nursing generally in B Block, Under date of 20th September the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital reported as follows: \"I have no adverse criticism to make on the work of Japanese Staff Nurses and Probationary Nurses. I know of no instance in which patients have not been properly nursed.\"",

I shall be very thankful to them also to still receive the same money, as I am quite satisfied it was not with any intention of getting more money or to gain money by any deceit.\n\nI am well aware that should the 30/- be stopped at any time and I had nothing from War Office that I have no means whatever to keep me from the Workhouse as the son I lost was the only one to help me.\n\nI do hope there has been no misunderstanding why I sent to the War Office at the same time as I wrote to Crown Agents 8 months ago and that I had no thoughts whatever of trying to impose on any kindness given to me. I am sorry to trouble you with this letter but I think there must be a mistake somewhere if on my part I am quite willing to rectify it if possible.\n\nI am etc.\n\n(Sgd) R. Smith (Mrs)\n\nPage 135",

Colonial Secretary\n\nALFRED WILLIAMS ENCLOSED\n\nThe widow of this man, who was a Government School master, has applied to me for advice as to how she can obtain possession of £30 £4.10.0 % War Stock 1925-1945, which is, apparently, only transferable by personal application at the Bank of England.\n\nIn the ordinary course the widow would have to appoint an attorney in England to take out Letters of Administration and then deal with the stock, but it occurs to me that, seeing that she knows no one in England and that the deceased's only estate is this £30, the Colonial Office might be asked to approach the Bank of England with a view to its accepting a transfer signed by me, coupled with a guarantee against loss given by this Government to the Bank. If the Bank agree, the Crown Agents could sell the stock and remit the net proceeds to the Colonial Treasurer.\n\nI attach the following documents which should be sent to the Colonial Office if you can see your way to move in the matter:-\n\n1. Receipts for $20 and £10, £4.10.0 % War Stock 1925-1945\n2. Transfer signed by me as Official Administrator.\n3. Letter from the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank herein.\n4. Affidavit of Mrs. Williams.\n5.

Mr. Noronha did not subscribe to the above opinion but placed the following on record:\n\n\"I am also of the opinion that the existing institutions, especially the two Convents, should receive further support from the Government, but I still maintain that a League would be able to do much useful work in Hongkong.\n\n\"The rate of infant mortality in the Colony is abnormally high, and the field is large enough for several institutions doing similar work.\n\n\"The League would not work in opposition to the existing institutions but in conjunction with them. One of its objects would be to overcome Chinese prejudices and enlist their sympathy, and there need be no interference with domestic matters.\n\n\"No valid argument has been advanced against the formation of the League and I do not therefore agree with the views of the majority that such a step is inadvisable\".\n\nThe existing Institutions to which the Committee referred are the French and Italian Convents, the Government midwives under the supervision of a lady Doctor, the Maternity Hospitals, and the Chinese Public Dispensaries.\n\n4.\n\nI caused the Committee to be thanked for the work it had done, and at the same time I appointed a smaller Committee consisting of the Principal Civil Medical Officer, Secretary for Chinese Affairs, Mr. E. J. Noronha, Mrs. Hickling, the Honourable Mr. Ho Fook, and Mr. Chan Kai-ming to advise the Government from time to time as to how the existing organisations for arresting infant mortality may",

Later, except in the case of such be paid by cheque or cash in this office, the shroff called and collected the sums due, giving his receipt. There were no means of knowing what bills had or had not been paid, nor how much money was in the hands of the shroff. Such money as he had collected but had not paid in to the bank, was kept in a safe at the Sailor's Home, of which he alone had a key. When money was paid in to the bank, which it was on alternate days, the shroff was supposed to produce to the accountant all the money he had collected since the last paying in day, and this amount was entered on the paying in slip, the money paid in to the bank, and the bank's receipt handed to the accountant. The theory appears to have been that if any money was short, the shroff's sureties would make good the loss to the Government, and this was their only security.\n\n4. As Assistant Harbour Master I was not in a position to object to the system, but when I became Harbour Master in 1907, I pointed out that the sum in which the shroff was secured was insufficient and recommended that it be increased to a sum commensurate with those he was in the habit of handling. This was not approved. I then gave instructions that the shroff was to collect no money outside the office, at the same time issuing a circular to all firms and others who had, or were likely to have, financial dealings with the Department, requesting them to pay all sums due by cheque, or if in cash, to this office only, as the shroff had no authority to collect any money elsewhere, or to give a receipt. I also arranged that any money remaining in hand, received after banking hours, should be deposited in a safe in this office, the Chief Clerk holding the key. This, I conceived, was the best I could do, under the circumstances, to secure the safety of",

        "content_text": "## January till June 1920\nI have been highly satisfied with his services in that capacity, and say with pleasure that he is a man in every way qualified for such or similar posts, both by his personal character, which is entirely reliable, and of a high order, and by his attainments. Mr. Esler showed great interests in his patients, and has a very sound knowledge of medicine which he constantly endeavoured to widen and strengthen, and is cautious in dealing with doubtful cases. In every way I can strongly and confidently recommend Mr. Esler and wish him success for he well deserves it!\n\nDr. Leonard G. Mackey writes \"Dr. Esler has recently held the post of House Physician at Queen's Hospital, and during part of that time has acted as my House Physician in charge of beds and out patients. It gives me great pleasure to say that I have found his work satisfactory in every respect. Not only is he kind, sympathetic, patient and painstaking with his patients, but he is industrious and conscientious in his work, and has an excellent all-round knowledge of treatment, and makes a sound diagnosis. He has quite an expert knowledge of Venereal disease and is able to carry out the most modern methods of treatment. He is well acquainted with laboratory methods used in clinical diagnosis and knows how to apply his knowledge of bacteriology in vaccine therapy\".\n\nMr. Donald D. Day writes (1914) \"Mr. A.R. Esler has been my House Surgeon for nearly a year. I have been well satisfied with the thoroughness of his work and the way he has managed his wards. He has a good knowledge of Surgical work in all branches. His operations have been done nicely. He understands giving Anaesthetics of all sorts. I have every confidence in him and can recommend him for any post requiring a good knowledge of Surgery. He is a capital colleague to work with\".\n\n## Medical Appointments Committee\nThe Committee noted that his general condition and medical qualifications were good; that his physique was above the average; that his war work was highly spoken of, and that he has held resident appointments in this country. They considered him a man of decided character, and considerable ability, very suitable for work in the Colonies. He was classified B, very suitable for appointment.\n\nNOTED.\n\nPage 309\nPage 513\n\n`grs3075/20`\n`M-278`\n`30715720`",

        "content_text": "## KOWLOON AND ITS HINTERLAND\n\nfactories, I make bold to assert that the hundreds, nay thousands, of women and children engaged in this industry at Kowloon exhibit an air of contentment and physical well-being that might well be the envy of countries where Factory Acts are in operation to safeguard the interests of the working classes. The complaint is a common one, and has not arisen from the people for whom Mr. Bowley advocates, but curiously enough from promoters of industries, that restrictions against the starting of new industries and the exactions from Government are such as to deter the employment of capital and the undertaking of enterprises in the Colony.\n\nOn a recent occasion, the editor of **The Rock** and myself had the opportunity of meeting leading representatives of the Chinese community in Hongkong. We were struck by the remark from one, blessed with much of this world's riches, that the \"law\" of Hongkong was what he so greatly admired. By contrast, it seems strange that a Britisher, whose profession places himself in a special position to set a correct appreciation on the value of our laws, should be the one to cavil at the inadequacy of its provisions to safeguard the interests of the Chinese themselves.\n\nThe creation of the department of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, which is none other than one for the protection of the Chinese, with an efficient head in the person of the Hon. Mr. S. B. C. Ross, is a sufficient guarantee that the abuses which Mr. F. B. L. Bowley complains of cannot exist to the extent which his paper might lead those not conversant with conditions prevailing in Hongkong to believe. Mr. Bowley's intentions are undoubtedly good, but the method he has adopted to carry them out may be open to objection.\n\n## Kowloon has been favoured by the gods\n\nKowloon has been favoured by the gods at the annual Race Meeting just concluded. Out of the three big prizes in the sweepstakes for the race for the Championship, the second and third prizes went to Kowloon residents. The second prize, which is worth $6,880, was won with ticket No. 1500 by Mrs. G. A. Yvanovich, Jr. The third prize was of a value of $3,440 and went to Mrs. Wheeler, wife of Captain Wheeler, of the Indo-China S. N. Co., and Urquhart, in partnership. The first prize of the very next race (Consolation Stakes) was won by Mr. F. E. Carvalho and his son Mr. Fernão Carvalho, both residents of Kowloon. The prize was worth $3,000. Mrs. Farias won a prize over $3,000 on the first day, and Mr. Farias one of $400 on the second day.\n\nA singular circumstance connected with ticket No. 1509 for the Champions is related by the lucky winner of the prize. Mrs. Yvanovich had a bag of flour bought some time before the races. When the bag was emptied of its contents and while hemstitching the piece of cloth, the design of this special brand of flour attracted her attention. The trade mark is that of the Yueu Fong Flour Mills Co. and depicted a telephone box superscribed with the number 1509 in large figures. The next day she enquired of Mr. U. Rumjaha if that number was available for the Champions. Thus it was that the number which drew the favourite brought its purchaser the handsome gift of early seven thousand dollars.\n\n## \"Catholic Press Day\"\n\n### ST. JOSEPHIAN\n\nHis Lordship the Bishop has decreed that there shall be special prayer at the Holy Hour on Thursday, March 31st, for the prosperity of our Catholic Press. All who are interested—and who is not?—in this important matter should make it a point to carry out His Lordship's wishes by being present in the Cathedral and praying for this intention. On the following Wednesday, the 6th April, the Bishop will call a meeting at the Mission House of the Promoters and friends of **The Rock** and the **Religião e Patria** to discuss means of obtaining better support for these two papers.\n\n## GIRL SLAVERY IN HONGKONG\n\nThe views I made to the papers in the views mentioned above I will repeat in principal features in the belief that it is of sufficient importance to merit reproduction here.\n\n### The Meaning of Slavery\n\nThe word slavery can, in my opinion, be taken in a broad sense, and all depends on how it is used. In a sense, we are all slaves to some person or to some thing. The question as it is now under discussion has already been investigated by the Registrar General (now termed the Secretary for Chinese Affairs) with the assistance of the leading Chinese. The matter has been laid fairly and squarely before the public who now, I think, understand what is really meant by the term \"slavery\" when it is employed in this connection.\n\n### Not Legally Allowed\n\nThere is no slavery in China to-day in the legal and technical sense of the term, nor has the buying and selling of human beings been tolerated by law in recent years, as is clearly proved by the wording of documents used in such transactions. Parents are willing instinctively to part with their children, and nothing but stress will make them bow to this sinful necessity. But this does sometimes occur, as the following instance has come under my personal notice to show.\n\n### A Personal Experience\n\nAs I was leaving my house one day, I saw a poor woman with a daughter about ten years old weeping bitterly at my gate. On enquiry, I found they were nearly starving. Her husband had died three years ago, leaving her with two daughters, one of whom she had fortunately sold to a couple of good disposition. With the proceeds, she had succeeded in building a shack. But now it was tumbling to bits, and she and her girl were unable to earn a sufficient livelihood to support themselves. She begged my people to buy her child; and though refusing the request, we offered her money, she still continued with tears to solicit us to look after the girl.\n\nNow, what, in a case like this, is the law to do? Punish the helpless mother and place the child in a convent or charitable institution? Most of the cases of 'child-slavery' or so-called \"Mui Tsai\" are similar to this.\n\n### Treatment of Girls and Safeguards against Cruelty\n\nIt must be remembered that girls sold into other families as adopted daughters or servant-girls are looked upon as members of the family. They are better fed and better clothed, and do lighter work than with their own parents. Indocile and mischievous girls, no doubt, are punished on occasion, but so are one's own children. But they have their remedies here as on the mainland of China. They can complain to their parents or guardians when these come to visit them, which is always one of the stipulations of their contract.\n\nIn Hongkong, moreover, they have the Chinese Secretariat, the Police, and the Society for the Protection of Women and Children (called the Po Leung Kuk, of which we reproduce a photograph), to all of which the girls are able to carry their complaints, certain of receiving prompt attention. On the mainland of China also, there are charitable institutions where elders of clans and other influential bodies attend to similar complaints; while in Hongkong again, notices are posted up officially in brothels and elsewhere impressing on the girls the necessity of reporting ill-treatment and the fact that they are free agents, so that all Chinese are well aware that cruelty to servants is not tolerated.\n\n### Humanitarian Point of View\n\nSpeaking then from a humanitarian point of view, I am clearly of opinion that unless the wealthy classes and the Government of China agree to co-operate in establishing foundling homes and poorhouses in every district to gather in the poor, support, and finance them, it would only make matters worse to force the common people to end a practice to which stress of circumstances alone has forced them and which it is beyond their power to resist.\n\n### No alteration possible or desirable yet\n\nAs a representative of the Chinese, I fail to see how I could, in view of existing circumstances, lend any useful help in suppressing what is complained of. It is a mode of life adopted from time immemorial.",

To try to inflict fines for spitting in public I would be useless for several reasons: firstly, the offenders cannot afford to pay \nfines; secondly, the native police are every bit as bad offenders in this respect, as the rest; thirdly, I am convinced that it is the expectoration on the floors of the rooms in which the people live that is the chief source of the bacilli, so that, even if expectorating in public out of doors were stopped--\"a consummation devoutly to be wished\" on other accounts than the risk of disseminating tubercular bacilli--there would be no deterrent to a man exercising the privilege in his own rooms, unless his wife objected, and this she would not do, seeing that she also freely avails herself of a like privilege. We are, therefore, reduced to the slower but more certain method--Education, and the question naturally follows: How and by whom? \n\nEuropean doctors would be of little if any use directly. They do not come into contact with the poor to any extent and they would not be listened to even if they could succeed in making themselves understood. The Chinese doctors would have a better chance, and, therefore, much may be hoped from the locally qualified practitioners who come more into contact with the people both at the hospital during their years of training, and also after they graduate and go into practice. \n\nBetter still would it be to attempt to instruct the people in their houses and this, I venture to suggest, could be accomplished in the following way. The Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A., to which many of the better educated classes belong, have courses of lectures from time to time on various subjects. Like all the laity they are interested in medical questions and there is no reason why popular (or, to use Huxley's preferable term, People's) lectures and demonstrations should not be given at these institutions, and such lectures on medical subjects never fail to draw. This would form a nucleus, and from among the members, the women more than the men, some would certainly be found to spread the glad tidings of the gospel of health, at first in their own homes among their servants, and later tactfully to promulgate the doctrines they had been taught. After a time a regular system of district visitors (in the medical sense) might be inaugurated; these would not only instruct the mothers in child welfare and the dangers of feeding their children in the way indicated earlier, but would instil into the adults, and, through them, the growing children health principles generally, the teachers of the Chinese attending British schools might also with advantage incorporate elementary hygienic principles as object lessons for their pupils. \n\nThen, and not too soon, for 'festina lente' is the motto for all social and health...",

We feel it is of vital importance to us that we should have a station of sufficient power and magnitude so far as is practicable—to communicate at long distances, in order that we may have in time the very latest commercial information at our command and coming through British sources.\n\n## \nAsked by the Chairman to give his views, Lieutenant R. R. Stewart (H.M.S. *\"Alacrity\"*), said :- \n\nMr. Chairman and Gentlemen, the kind remarks which Mr. Holyoak has said about me are not quite true. My job out here is wireless officer of the fleet, and as such my duties are to make myself conversant with all wireless telegraph stations out here. I merely co-ordinate the views of experts on the subject, and that is what I propose to give you this morning.\n\n## \nI think the best way of dealing with the matter is to try and answer three points (1) Can Stonecutters compete with commercial traffic home to England? (2) The question of the installation of a powerful installation at Hong Kong, and (3) to give you some general remarks on the subject.\n\nIn order to bring out my first point I would like to say what has happened with regard to wireless stations. Before the war the question was brought up for the installation of a chain of stations connecting England with the Colonies. War broke out, and a hurried station was erected at Stonecutters. This was fitted with spark gear, and the power of the station was about 30 kilowatts giving about 1,000 miles communication. This gave a total distance of the link in the chain of 2,000 miles or more. That met certain necessities for communicating with ships at sea, but they found they could not communicate satisfactorily with home through the intermediate stations. So they installed a Poulsen arc, which was a step further in wireless transmission, and which gave out a continuous wave enabling them to get a further distance with less power.\n\nIt is necessary for me to point out here that wireless communication is not so easy as the ordinary man would believe. If you have a wireless station at Hong Kong trying to get into touch with Sumatra, you do it through Singapore. Then first you have got to get into touch with Singapore. Hong Kong fires off its message. Singapore replies message received and then gets into communication with Sumatra, so you will see that Singapore has a lot to do. Then there is the question of atmospherics. Atmospherics are things about which we do not know a great deal at present, but atmospherics in connection with traffic are a continual source of trouble. The message from Hong Kong to Singapore might meet with a great deal of trouble. I have known of a message of ninety groups taking an hour to pass, and that is not going to be much good for commercial needs as they stand. The Admiralty sent out messages by wireless to relieve the cables, and I have known messages take as long as fourteen days to come out. Those, however, were routine messages, and merely sent out that way to relieve the cables.\n\nThe next thing I want to point out is that the wireless station at Hong Kong has a very busy time. There is the communication with Singapore, communication with the Yang-tsze gunboats and communication with the flagship. A great deal of work goes from Hong Kong to the flagship, not only telegrams, but matters upon which the Commander-in-chief's approval is required. Really Hong Kong is the centre of naval activity in the Far East, and the programme at Stonecutters is very full. When D'Aguilar was started as the commercial station, I pointed out to Mr. Fletcher that the receiving gear was in rather a bad state, and he replied that they would be only too pleased to make it efficient. We have installed at D'Aguilar a set giving superior transmission from the naval supplies, new gear is being purchased and D'Aguilar will soon be more efficient, and Stonecutters will be having a little more time in which to do its own work.\n\nWireless stations have to compete with telegraph offices in which rapidity, cheapness are absolutely essential factors, but you would not get rapidity in messages passing through the Hong Kong wireless station.\n\n35 \n\nThere is another point which I would bring to your consideration, and that is that you would not get the Hong Kong wireless station to pay. The Navy would be only too pleased to take commercial messages if they could squeeze in the time, because it would help to pay for their installations. Now, with the new organisation, I believe the Commander-in-chief is prepared to squeeze in time in the Hong Kong routine by which commercial people in Hong Kong could carry out shore to shore traffic. It would not be a commercial proposition, but if they wanted to get into touch with Manila, Swatow or Saigon, we could introduce into the daily routine say a quarter of an hour every four or five hours in which they could actually communicate with those stations or the coast.\n\n\"My second point to be brought out is the establishment of a powerful station at Hong Kong. Now we come to the Imperial Conference scheme. When we first came out here we wrote home to recommend certain wireless stations to be put up, and the answer to the letter was that we got out the report of the Imperial Wireless Committee which has been presented to Parliament from which I will give you a few notes. But before I do so I would state that the letter we wrote home showed that we pointed out that it was necessary to bring commercial requirements into line with naval requirements, because they would have to be dealt with separately though the two would be dealt with by one large organisation, whereby the requirements of all services would be met.\n\nThe first thing that was pointed out in the report was that wireless is not like telegraphy. A good deal of trouble comes in the transmission and receiving, and consequently delay, and though reliability, speed and cheapness were essential factors the installation had to be made to pay. They got the Post Office to keep a listening watch on the main European systems of wireless, and they found that transmission across the Atlantic was not all it was commonly thought to be, and that there was a great deal of repetition going on. Hours were spent merely in repetition. That was a loss of money. The thing was not a commercial proposition. They then went on to discuss methods of transmission—the spark, the Poulsen arc, high frequency alternators, high frequency oscillators, which have the same effect as the continuous wave, and the thermionic valve, which is the latest development of wireless transmission. They came to the conclusion that the thermionic valve was the best thing to use.\n\nEvery wireless scheme which has come into being has been on the principle of trial and error. Marconi tried with 23 kilowatts to communicate across the Atlantic. That was not found sufficient. In 1906 it was increased to 70 kilowatts and the Poulsen arc was introduced with 13 kilowatts. The spark was then pushed up to 200 by Marconi. That did not have much effect, and the Poulsen was pushed up to 250 kilowatts. The whole demand was for more power. Germany, Nauen, has a 400 kilowatt installation, and they are thinking of increasing that.\n\n## \nBefore I came here this morning I was able to get for the Admiral the Nauen press from the Nauen installation of 400 kilowatts. This was done by hand operation, and it is only sometimes that we can get it out here. Now, business people, for whom the trial and error system has no appeal, realising that it is no good for commercial purposes have to determine what distance they are to get with absolute certainty. My people want to get a distance of 4,000 miles which will allow of communication from England to India and Australia. That was what people wanted. People say we are getting wireless signals from Mars, that must take an enormously powerful installation and cannot be a commercial proposition at all. When, however, they came to work out wireless telegraphy as a business proposition, they came to the conclusion that 2,000 miles with the thermionic valve would give reliable communication, and the cost would be considerably less than a station with a distance of 4,000 miles; they would get more traffic, more words passing through per day. The result was that they decided upon two 2,000 mile steps for India at a capital cost of £483,000, and an annual cost of £185,000. Then they discussed how much traffic they could expect and they came to the conclusion that they would lose on the stations for five years at first, after which they would make up.\n\n\"I may say that this scheme of 2,000 mile step allows for stations at Egypt, Cairo, Poona, Singapore, a branch to Hong Kong and Australia. Already they are putting up an arc in England and another in Cairo, and they will have another valve in England and Cairo. Hong Kong may consider that the branch from Singapore rather puts them out of it, but the whole question is whether the thing can be made to pay. If it is found that Hong Kong cannot pass the messages with the installation it gets, it will be the simplest matter in the world to erect another...\n\n503",

In my own town, as the result of education, there has been a decided reduction in the number of patients applying for treatment. I have dealt with the subject from the medical aspect, and am now going to ask Mrs. Rolfe to explain the subject from the educational and economic standpoint.\n\nMRS. ROLFE. You have heard, and a great many of you know the serious consequences of these diseases. I know to you out here it is rather a strange thing for a woman to participate in this campaign, but now that you realise how this disease is spread right through the women of the country; how knowledge on our part is necessary if we are to protect our children... it is a very strong feeling to take the responsibility of sharing that knowledge with one's fellow women. To deal with the question adequately, men and women must work together; silence has not proved successful; I ask you to give an open mind to the question of men and women considering it jointly.\n\nThe War has given us perhaps a clearer sense of values. We realise what things in life matter, realise that ignorance and innocence are not the same thing. Two subjects have to be considered: cure and non-infectivity of these individuals infected. We have to consider and reduce the risk of infection of a large majority of the population.\n\nWhen dealing with the problem of treating those infected, it is only necessary to accept the principle of free treatment, and that the public should be instructed as to the advantage that will accrue from making use of such facilities.\n\nWhat is almost of as great importance is prevention... \n\n344",

        "content_text": "# E HEALTH COMMISSION\n\nThe visit of Dr. Hallam and Mrs. Rolfe Hur to give an impetus to the movement for combating the dreadful havoc wrought by venereal disease. Dr. Hallam says that the whole subject should be viewed simply from the point of view of health, and Mrs. Rolfe says that syphilis and gonorrhoea must be dealt with \"just like tuberculosis and smallpox.\" That is precisely the point of view we have lately insisted upon in contradistinction to the moralist view that on no account must anything be done that would give \"public recognition\" of immorality. Half the patients in lunatic asylums, hospitals are there in consequence of venereal disease, and when thousands of perfectly innocent women are victims of the scourge, it appears to us to be nonsense to talk of \"public recognition.\"\n\nThe simple truth is that the abomination has been ignored, and if anything is undone that will tend to check its ravages, those who are responsible for the neglect are really guilty of a crime against the community. One point will illustrate what we particularly mean. The moralists insist that all brothels should be closed because it is impossible to tolerate them. Dr. Hallam, we understand, is also of the opinion that they should be closed but his reason is quite different.\n\nHe holds, speaking, of course, of European experience, that the toleration of these houses, even when they are under medical inspection, tends to increase the incidence of the disease, and every reasonable man will say that if this view can be substantiated, the brothels must go. Practically, the moralist view is quite the opposite, because the moralist holds that even if brothels, conducted under a system of inspection, lowered the incidence of the disease, they ought to be closed in order that there may be no public recognition of immorality. Frankly, our view is that the moralists have been blind obstructors of measures essential for the preservation of public health. We fight smallpox by compelling notification of every case and isolating the sufferer until he is incapable of contaminating others, and, following Mrs. Rolfe, we are to deal with venereal disease in the same way; old-fashioned ideas about non-recognition must be thrown over the wall.\n\nConsider what the present state of the law is. An immoral woman may be known to be reeking with disease and almost every man who has to do with her may become a centre of infection. The woman is a danger but there is no power to seize her and put an end to the mischief she is doing. We are told that the power of conveying infection is very much greater in women than in men, but this is a technical question which we are content to leave the doctors to deal with. Certainly, it is a fact that one diseased woman infects scores of pure men, though it would be rather an extreme assertion that one impure man infects scores of pure women. He can do mischief enough in all conscience, but not on the same scale as the woman. Once we take the matter on a perfectly sane and rational basis, medical science will have a fair chance, and of late years great advances have been made in the treatment. The nature of the disease has been proven, and the cure is believed to be available.\n\nWhat a man will undoubtedly do is to conceal the injury suffered in the pursuit of vice. The whole natural tendency is to conceal injury suffered in the pursuit of vice.\n\nWe believe that local conditions differ widely enough from conditions elsewhere to warrant most careful investigation before action is finally determined upon. Therefore, it is wholly to the good that the medical conference which met on Thursday under the presidency of Dr. Watson passed a resolution in favour of a local Commission being formed. The report of the Royal Commission to which Dr. Hallam has made frequent reference is a most valuable document and may be taken as full and authoritative as far as it goes. A local Commission need not traverse the same ground. Its chief function would be to discover any circumstances, purely local, which may warrant contraction or expansion of the methods the Royal Commission has suggested for combating the disease.\n\nApart from anything that such a commission may recommend, we have no doubt whatever that there is room here for all that the S.C.V.D. or the S.P.V.D. can do. There is room, also, for much more education, and for our own part, we would like that to be systematised to a degree which has never, so far as we know, been attempted outside the American army. There is absolutely no reason why every lad who has reached maturity should not be legally required to attend a course of health lectures - say a dozen or twenty at which full and accurate information would be given to him, and no employer should be allowed to have a lad of a certain age in his service unless he possesses a certificate of having passed the course. With the aid of the film, everything could be made clear and plain to the meanest understanding, and the effect, supplemented by free treatment, would be incalculably beneficial.\n\nWe are not in the very least degree hostile to the operation of moral agencies. They should be used to the uttermost to emphasise the advantages of chastity, and to exalt men's conceptions of themselves and of their duties in life. But it is from the public health point of view more especially that we urge the giving of lessons bearing upon the care of the body. It is no exaggeration to say that thousands of young men are ruined through sheer ignorance. Certainly, it is true of Europeans, and we do not think it is less true of Asiatics. Few parents are really capable of giving their sons the information and the warnings that every young man ought to have, but a health course might be made profoundly interesting, and it would give every man a chance of acquiring knowledge of how to safeguard his own body and the safety of his wife and children.\n\nOne of the most dangerous characteristics of the worst form of venereal disease is that it incubates very slowly and that it gives very little trouble to the sufferer in its earlier stages. It may be quite innocently neglected until the whole body is corrupted to a degree that leads ultimately to mental and physical destruction. If it were sudden and violent, medical aid would, of necessity, be called for earlier, but being slow and insidious, even the provision of free treatment may fail unless the young man has been prepared by education to recognise the earliest signs of danger, or to take precautions even before there is knowledge that injury has occurred.\n\nOur visitors have given a vigorous rousing up to local opinion and we think the public owes them thanks for their efforts. We want to solve our own problem but we can fully appreciate the skill with which, thanks to them, the grave problem has been expounded by Dr. Hallam and Mrs. Rolfe.\n\n476",

        "content_text": "# HEALTH COMMISSION, SINGAPORE COUNCIL TO BE FORMED.\n\nUnder the auspices of the N.C.C.V.D. a conference was held, by kind permission of His Excellency, yesterday at Government House. His Excellency presided and the meeting was well attended by representatives of the Government Departments concerned in the question of public health, of organisations, etc.\n\nHis Excellency briefly introduced the two speakers, Mrs. C. Neville Rolfe, O.B.E. and Rupert Hallam, members of the National Council for Combating Venereal Diseases.\n\nMrs. Rolfe, in the course of her address, said that the problem of venereal disease should be considered entirely as a public health question. She stated that she could unhesitatingly say that the lines of administration which had proved most successful were in those countries which had progressed on these lines. There were many steps that could be taken in any community that had a civic conscience to reduce the social evils, but there were no steps that could be taken usefully by means of legislation to combat venereal disease. If the issue is once confused we shall defeat our object. In speaking of legislation, the speaker pointed out that in the legislation of New Zealand a clause directed medical practitioners to issue certificates of cure or non-infectivity. This was a great danger to public health, and that clause had to be repealed, and it has now been made an offence to give certificates of that nature, a large number of those given were used for purposes of advertisement by women in a position to spread infection to the detriment of public health. She had reason to believe that the Colony, following the example of the progressive nations of the world, was taking steps to provide facilities for free diagnosis and treatment. It was insufficient, however, to provide facilities for treatment unless the provision of these facilities was accompanied by a campaign of public enlightenment in order that the best use might be made of those facilities. She therefore wanted to suggest to those present the advisability of strengthening the hands of the administration by providing the machinery that will enable all parts of the population to be reached. The difficulties encountered in such a campaign made it necessary for any organisation established to be of a semi-official character.\n\nMrs. Rolfe then described the organisation and work of the National Council for Combating Venereal Diseases, in Great Britain, showing how the movement had progressed, and urged that a Singapore Council for Combating Venereal Diseases should be established, linked up with the organisation at home, the aims and objects of which would be similar. The Dominion and Colonial Councils thus formed were completely autonomous, the only condition being that they did not publish literature antagonistic to the policy of the Council. The problems were different in each place and could only be dealt with by those with a knowledge of local conditions. In Singapore, there were special problems and very special difficulties that would have to be met. On the educational side, the result of the conferences she had had the privilege of holding with the educationalists, showed that there was much to be done on existing educational lines, on the lines of co-operation between parents and teachers in the education of the rising generation in the knowledge of the facts of life, by the introduction of nature study into the schools and by the extension of the syllabus of the Training College for Teachers to include information on this subject. There were certain aspects of the question, certain sides of social work that need stimulating, which a Council is in the position of being able to draw the attention of the Government Departments to, and also they can render services, if they are efficient, to those Departments in the same way as the National Council at home.\n\nBesides considering the formation of a local Council, she also urged their considering an enquiry, quite separate from anything to do with the formation of a local Council, into such social conditions as lead to an artificial stimulus of the demand for promiscuity.\n\nDr. Hallam spoke in support of the proposal and dwelt on the excellent results achieved at Home, emphasising the extraordinary decrease in the disease recorded, and in some of the large towns, the reduction in the numbers receiving treatment for the first time, due to the excellent facilities provided and to the spread of knowledge among the community as a whole.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor stated he considered the aims and objects of the Council were of common interest and applicable to all countries. He moved that those present should form a Council for combating venereal disease, stating that he and Lady Guillemard were willing to act as Presidents. Steps were being taken to appoint Vice-Presidents and to invite representatives of organisations and prominent individuals in Singapore to become members of the Council.\n\nDr. Dexter Allen and Capt. Hacker, R.A.M.C. were appointed temporary Hon. Secretaries.\n\nThe resolution to form a Council in Singapore was seconded by Dr. Lim Boon Keng, the proceedings terminating with votes of thanks to the speakers.",

He reminded the members of the fact that the question of the provision of free diagnosis and treatment for the seafaring population of all nations was to be discussed at the conference of the health section of the League of Nations to be held at Geneva in February, 1921. Dr. Hallam then outlined the recommendations which have been approved by the National Council for Combating Venereal Disease, namely: the provision of free diagnosis, the provision of free treatment, early treatment centres, and a campaign of education of the general public. He pointed out that on matters of prophylaxis and prostitution, personal opinion and the opinion of the Society were in favour of early treatment rather than personal prophylaxis, and suppression rather than segregation. In support of these views, he quoted a letter by Colonel Harrison on the results of the experiences with prophylactic packets in Rhine Army and he also drew attention to Flexner's views on the subject. He pointed out that in all countries where a public health policy was adopted, very active measures were being taken to provide modern treatment for venereal diseases and also the segregation of prostitutes. He cited the fact that even in Japan, the public health department were in favour of suppressing brothels, and cited as an instance the improvement in one of the counties of Japan in which the law had been already enforced.\n\nDr. Hallam realised that the conditions in these Far Eastern ports differed considerably from those found in Europe, nevertheless he wished to impress on the members of the medical profession here that the views of many experts were opposed to recognised methods, and that these views were supported by many recorded facts which were worthy of the most profound consideration before coming to a final opinion. In conclusion, he asked for the approval of the members of the Association in giving approval to the proposals mentioned above.\n\n### Position in Malaya\n\nDr. Galloway in his reply gave full approval to the establishment of free diagnosis and free treatment, and although approving of a campaign of education of the general public in principle, he was of opinion that little could be done on that score in Singapore. He then proceeded to point out the great divergence which existed between the actuality as existing here and the commonly accepted ideals, which were held on this subject in civilised countries. He laid stress on the fact that the social and economical conditions in the Straits and F.M.S. were probably unique and that it was futile to attempt to apply methods based on evidence or experience gained in other countries to the conditions which obtained here. He urged that the only way by which any useful measure could be evolved to deal with the evil was by a careful study of the local conditions and, to that end, he moved the resolution:-\"That this Association do memorialise the Government of the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States to cause full inquiry to be made as to (a) the prevalence of venereal disease, (b) the cause of that prevalence, (c) means of treatment, (d) means of prevention, and (e) the subject of prostitution generally.\"\n\nDr. Rattray, in seconding Dr. Galloway's proposal, stated that for the past year he had been making efforts to establish a kindred society in Malaya, viz., the S.P.V.D. These efforts had been crowned with success and his society is established here on a sound foundation. Dr. Rattray considered that his society went a necessary step further than the N.C.C.V.D., namely, in giving greater prominence to the value of disinfectants as a preventative of venereal disease.\n\nDr. Hoops joined the discussion and thought that the seafaring population should receive greater attention. He gave his experiences of the value of anti-venereal clinics which he had established in Kedah.\n\nDr. Hacker gave an account of his experiences with the Garrison in Singapore. He was in favour of early treatment.\n\nIn the subsequent discussion, Dr. Candrick, Dr. Glass, Dr. Dawson, and Dr. van Dort joined.\n\nDr. Hallam replied briefly and the proceedings were terminated by the unanimous adoption of Dr. Galloway's resolution.\n\nThe council and members of the Malaya branch of the British Medical Association entertained the Commissioners to dinner at the Europe Hotel at night. There were present:-Dr. Malcolm Watson (President, Malaya branch B.M.A.), Mrs. Rolfe, Miss Grant, Dr. Hallam (Commissioners of N.C.C.V.D.), Mr. Haynes (Secretary to the High Commissioner, Malay States), Mrs. Haynes, Dr. Hoops, Mr. and Mrs. Cavendish, Dr. and Mrs. Brooke, Dr. Lim Boon Keng, Dr. Hunter, Dr. Fry, Dr. and Mrs. Taylor, Dr. Dexter Allen, Dr. and Mrs. Black, Dr. and Mrs. Rattray, Dr. Stookes, Dr. Scharff (hon. sec.

B. DE FREITAS on \"Some difficulties of medical practice in British Guiana.\" He referred to the large size of the districts, to the insanitary state of the villages, and to the fact that in cases requiring hospital treatment, the patient's friends were often unwilling for him to go into hospital owing to prejudice, ignorance, the great distance to be covered, and lack of means. Frequently, a doctor was called in too late, and the ignorance of the people of the means of spread of infection made many difficulties. There were myriads of flies, there were no latrines, and drains were often stopped up. Frequently, in infectious cases, the district medical officer was not called, and the first intimation he had was a telegram from the medical officer notifying the case. Sometimes contacts were not inoculated owing to the delay in notifying the district medical officer of the diagnosis. Drinking water was of bad quality and insufficient quantity. There was a lack of trained assistance at childbirth, and there was difficulty in prosecuting unregistered midwives owing to lack of evidence. The examination of meat exposed for sale, in which tubercle might be present, was neglected. There was a lack of control of venereal disease. Building sites were often unhealthy, and the dwellings of the people were overcrowded. There was insufficient control of cow-byres and swine; cow-byres were frequently close to the houses and swarmed with flies, and thus food was contaminated. In uncontrolled areas, vegetation often blocked the public roads. In country districts, deaths were often uncertified; the villages were visited once a week by the Government Medical Officer, and in his absence, the police N.C.O. decided if the death should be reported to the coroner or not. The discussion revealed the fact that there was no registration of deaths in Barbados, and that the infantile mortality there was the highest in the West Indies. \n\nMiss CLAPHAM subsequently read a valuable paper on \"Nursing in the West Indies,\" and pointed out that the provision of a nursing home was essential, and the introduction of a few trained English nurses would be most beneficial. Dr. MINETT referred to the excellent beginning made in local teaching by the appointment of a board of examiners by the Royal Sanitary Institute in Barbados, Trinidad, and British Guiana; he considered that hygiene ought to be taught in the schools. The interesting statement was made that there was little tuberculosis or leprosy and no filariasis in Grenada, but there was malaria there. On the contrary, filariasis, tuberculosis, and pellagra were prevalent in Barbados, and leprosy was found there, but no malaria. The papers by Mrs. MINETT, M.D., and Dr. WISHART on infantile mortality and child welfare were interesting and up-to-date, and Dr. Wishart also read a valuable paper on the sanitary and health problems of Georgetown. Dr. WOLFF said that the infantile mortality was lower in Paramaribo than in British Guiana, although more organized work was done in the latter. He put it down to the fact that midwives had two years' training at the military hospital at Surinam. \n\nAt the conclusion of the discussions of the different subjects, the delegates to the Conference passed the following series of resolutions, which were forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Colonies: \n\n1. The most modern methods of promoting infant welfare, personal and public sanitation, and hygiene should be introduced. \n\n2. In the interests of the health of an immigrant population in the West Indies, there were recommended: (a) the provision of a pure water supply, (b) efficient surface and soil drainage, (c) a properly organized system of disposal of refuse and excreta, (d) effective control of mosquitoes, and (e) the stringent enforcement of Public Health Ordinances and Regulations. \n\n3. The West Indian Governments (i) should instruct their Agricultural Departments to promote the rearing of small livestock by the labourers, to provide a suitable proportion of animal protein for their daily dietary; (ii) should introduce educational propaganda in the schools to promote a knowledge of food value; and (iii) should consider the question of subsidizing local food industries, such as fishing, and the relaxation of duties on imported protein foodstuffs. \n\n4. A survey of individuals in various districts of different colonies should be made to obtain information concerning local and racial factors which result in poor physique and industrial inefficiency. \n\n5. A system of control of midwives should be inaugurated, including methods of training, registration, and supervision by a central authority. \n\n6. The registration of stillbirths should be instituted, with confidential notification of miscarriages, in connection with measures for infant welfare. \n\n7. The West Indian Governments should adopt school medical inspection as a routine procedure. \n\n8. Restrictive measures for venereal diseases were required, to include educational propaganda and the provision of free and confidential treatment at existing institutions. \n\n9. Alastrim (recently epidemic in Jamaica) should be regarded as small-pox, and research as to its nature should be undertaken. \n\n10. Revaccination of the population should be brought into force. \n\n11. For the control of malaria, there were recommended: (a) strict observation of the anti-mosquito ordinances, (b) special attention should be given to the value of screening houses and institutions, and (c) mosquito netting should be generally used. \n\n12. The diagnosis of yellow fever should be based on clinical signs and symptoms until an accurate diagnosis by laboratory methods was discovered, but there should be no relaxation of anti-mosquito measures. \n\n13. The isolation of lepers after notification should be instituted, and arrested cases of leprosy should not be discharged from leper asylums under any conditions. \n\n14. A supply of antitetanic, antidysenteric, and other serums and vaccines should be provided. \n\n15. A united West Indian medical service should be established for the following reasons: (a) to provide for the granting of leave to medical officers at regular stated intervals, and for definite periods for considerations of health and for post-graduate study, thereby increasing the efficiency of the service; (b) to provide a recognized procedure for effecting promotion, which under present conditions, especially in the case of smaller colonies, does not exist, thereby supplying inducements to good work and securing contentment; (c) to provide for the easy transfer of medical officers from one colony to another for limited periods for the interchange of ideas, and for enabling such officers to become acquainted with the varying conditions of practice in colonies other than their own, to the mutual benefit of the colonies concerned; and (d) to provide means to secure for the benefit of all the colonies the advice of officers specially qualified in all matters relating to medical and sanitary organizations. \n\n16. The other colonies should adopt the recent leave regulations of British Guiana. \n\n17. The early appointment of a sanitary commissioner for the West Indies was necessary, to be under the Imperial Government, and independent of local control. \n\n18. The provision of an adequate whole-time staff for the Government Bacteriological Laboratory was necessary. \n\n19. The training of the medical staffs in the Schools of Tropical Medicine should be compulsory for all officers before entry into the service. \n\n20. All officers already in the service should take such a course, and be provided with free transport, full pay while taking the course, and the time so spent should not be regarded as leave of absence. \n\n21. A West Indian medical magazine should be published and circulated. \n\n22. The Colonial Office should approach the London School of Tropical Medicine to undertake research in the West Indies. And the Colonial Governments should secure local support for the specialists. \n\n23. A West Indian medical conference should be held every three years. \n\nThe Acting Governor congratulated the delegates on their resolutions and welcomed especially those recommending improved drainage and the provision of a supply of pure drinking water in British Guiana. He announced that a local loan of five million dollars for a permanent sea defence scheme was about to be raised, and said that he regarded it as an insurance, and the necessary preliminary to any effort to drain adequately the coast lands. He pointed out that the area now colonized in British Guiana was partially a reclaimed swamp, 4 ft. below the level of high spring tides. \n\nOn the one hundred and sixteenth commencement day of Bowdoin College, the Bowdoin Medical School, U.S.A., closed its doors after an existence of more than one hundred years. The reason is that the college officials feel that they are no longer properly able to maintain the medical school with the financial support available. The degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred on the last commencement day upon only eight students. \n\nAccording to the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, California, which has just added Anaesthesiology to the \"minimum requirements for a physician and surgeon certificate,\" is the first State in the United States of America to place anaesthesia on the list of required subjects in the medical curriculum. The hope is expressed that it will shortly be transferred from the \"elective\" to the \"required list\" in every State in the Union. \n\nFOR CIRCULATION :- \n\nMr. Grindle, W.I.

Motta, rapporteur de la sixième Commission, prennent place à la tribune).\n\nJe prie Monsieur le rapporteur de la sixième Commission de donner connaissance à l'Assemblée des conclusions de la Commission.\n\nM. MOTTA (Suisse), rapporteur de la sixième Commission. — L'Assemblée me dispensera sans doute de la lecture du rapport qui a été distribué. Je me contenterai de lui présenter un résumé très succinct des conclusions auxquelles la Commission est arrivée et de dégager les grandes lignes, je dirai même les pensées maîtresses de la question qui nous occupe en ce moment.\n\nDans la séance du 9 septembre, M. Nansen avait demandé à l'Assemblée de se prononcer sur deux points. Il proposait, d'abord, de décider si l'Assemblée devait adresser un appel aux États pour qu'ils accordent des crédits officiels, en vue de porter secours aux populations affamées de la Russie.\n\nLe deuxième point à examiner était de savoir s'il fallait prier le Conseil de mettre à la disposition de l'œuvre de secours les services de l'organisation des crédits internationaux qui a été créée, sur la suggestion de l'Assemblée, par le Conseil de la Société des Nations.\n\nTelles étaient donc les propositions que la Commission a eu à examiner à la suite de la motion de M. le Docteur Nansen.\n\nLa Commission n'a pas pu entrer dans les vues du Docteur Nansen. Elle a cependant dû se demander, au cours de ses discussions, s'il était loisible à l'Assemblée de la Société des Nations de se renfermer dans une attitude d'indifférence et en quelque sorte d'abstention absolue. La Commission a estimé que l'abstention totale, que la froide indifférence serait nuisible, et elle est arrivée aux conclusions qui sont à votre connaissance.\n\nVoici les éléments du problème; je n'en dis que les choses absolument essentielles, laissant de côté tout ce qui est polémique, tout ce qui est secondaire ou accidentel.\n\nLa Commission a d'abord constaté que l'étendue et la gravité du mal sont incontestables, que, sur ce point, toute discussion serait en quelque sorte oiseuse. Elle a constaté ensuite que le problème n'est pas seulement d'ordre humanitaire, mais aussi d'ordre social et économique, qu'il y a une solidarité qui lie tous les peuples et les rend, particulièrement aujourd'hui, tous intéressés à l'économie de la Russie.\n\nLa politique a également été mêlée au débat. La Commission estime et je voudrais insister fortement sur cette pensée qu'il est désirable que la politique soit tenue absolument à l'écart. Sans doute, il y aura une tentation toute naturelle d'examiner dans quelles mesures le désastre de la Russie est dû à la responsabilité — disons le mot — la faute des hommes et dans quelles mesures il est plutôt la conséquence de la guerre et du jeu éternel des lois de la nature.\n\nMais un examen de cet ordre ne pourrait que diviser les esprits et passionner le débat. Or, il est du devoir de chacun, au moment où le fléau grandit, où il menace de prendre toujours des formes plus aiguës et de se prolonger non seulement au cours de cette année, mais aussi durant les années qui viendront, il est de l'intérêt de tout le monde d'éliminer de l'action de secours tout ce qui pourrait en paralyser l'élan.\n\nIl faut éviter toutes les discussions qui ne sont pas absolument nécessaires et avoir toujours dans l'esprit ce proverbe que la sagesse romaine a exprimé en ces termes: Dum Romae consulitur Saguntum expugnatur ! Il ne faut pas entrer dans des polémiques qui pourraient entraver l'élan et empêcher la générosité des peuples qui veulent aller au secours de ceux qui ont faim.\n\nVers la mi-août de cette année, une conférence s'est réunie à Genève sur l'initiative du Comité international de la Croix-Rouge et de la Ligue des Croix-Rouges. Cette conférence a pris un certain nombre de mesures : elle a constitué une Commission mixte; elle a nommé deux Hauts Commissaires, M. le Docteur Nansen et M. Hoover. M. Hoover n'a pas pu accepter cette mission et M. le Docteur Nansen se trouve aujourd'hui le Haut Commissaire de la Conférence de Genève, délégué de la Commission mixte.\n\nEn même temps, le Conseil suprême des principales puissances s'est saisi de la question. Il a nommé à son tour une Commission internationale de secours pour la Russie.\n\nM. le docteur Nansen, en sa qualité de Haut-Commissaire, s'est rendu à Moscou. Il a mis immédiatement en œuvre ses grandes et magnifiques vertus d'homme d'action. Il est même arrivé à conclure avec le Gouvernement des Soviets des accords sur lesquels je vous dirai un mot tout à l'heure.\n\nAu moment même où M. le Dr Nansen déposait ici sa motion, la Commission apprenait qu'une conférence d'États était convoquée sur l'initiative de la Commission internationale de secours nommée par le Conseil suprême et présidée par M. Noulens. Cette conférence va se réunir le 6 octobre, à Bruxelles. J'ajoute ce détail sans doute inédit: hier encore, en ma qualité de chef du département politique du Conseil fédéral de la Confédération suisse, j'ai reçu une invitation de M. Noulens pour cette conférence et j'ai pu constater que les États invités à cette conférence sont au nombre de vingt-sept, parmi lesquels se trouvent, entre autres, les États-Unis et l'Allemagne; le Vatican lui-même est invité à s'y faire représenter. Je donne ce détail à titre d'information.\n\nNous sommes donc à l'heure actuelle en présence d'une convocation des États qui vont se réunir à Bruxelles pour s'occuper de cette question des secours. Il est certain dès aujourd'hui que cette conférence doit étudier toutes les formes possibles sous lesquelles l'aide doit être apportée à la Russie. Parmi ces formes, il en est une qui, en quelque sorte, prend la tête de toutes les autres: c'est la forme des crédits officiels à ouvrir par les États.\n\nLa question s'est donc posée, devant notre Commission, de savoir ce que devait faire la Société des Nations dans cette circonstance. Après de longues discussions, nous sommes tous tombés d'accord pour reconnaître que nous devions constater en premier lieu qu'une conférence d'États s'étant saisie d'une manière précise de la question, la Société des Nations ne pouvait pas, sans violer le grand principe: ne bis in idem, envahir un champ qui n'était pas soumis à sa compétence. Notre Commission a eu la crainte de voir se produire une confusion regrettable entre deux organisations, si la Société des Nations se mêlait de trancher une question qui devait être résolue dans un autre lieu.\n\nÀ cette manière de concevoir le problème, on a objecté que nous formons, nous aussi, une grande Assemblée et que nous représentons les États. Cela est exact, mais notre rôle est beaucoup plus général, notre compétence est infiniment plus abstraite, si j'ose dire, et plus vaste. La conférence de Bruxelles, au contraire, a une mission précise, concrète et déterminée.\n\nAutant nous sommes d'accord pour admettre que l'Assemblée de la Société des Nations doit être un corps agissant et vivant, qui sait prendre des initiatives, autant nous devons penser qu'il faut empêcher, entre la Conférence d'États de Bruxelles et l'Assemblée de notre Société, des conflits, même en apparence, et des confusions qui pourraient entraver l'action de l'une et de l'autre.\n\nIII. RELIEF WORK IN RUSSIA.\n\n(Report of the Sixth Committee)\n\nADDITIONAL RESOLUTION PROPOSED BY LORD ROBERT CECIL.\n\nThe PRESIDENT. — We will now take up the question of the Relief Work in Russia. We will examine the conclusions contained in the Report and the draft Resolution moved by Lord Robert Cecil.\n\nM. Motta, Rapporteur, will now address the Assembly.\n\nM. MOTTA (Switzerland), in presenting the Report of the Sixth Committee, said:\n\nGentlemen, I think you will all agree that I need not read the Report, because it is before you, but I should just like briefly to summarise the results achieved by the Committee. You will remember that at the meeting on September 9th, Dr. Nansen suggested that the Assembly should decide on two points. First, should an appeal be made to all States to grant official credits for Russian relief, and, secondly, should the Council be asked to put the services of the International Credits Organisation created by the Council of the League of Nations at the disposal of the Russian Relief work.\n\nThe Committee could not altogether agree with Dr. Nansen's proposal, but it saw that it was utterly impossible for this Assembly to pass the question by with indifference. It would be very harmful if we did not show that we realise how very serious this question is. Nobody disputes the extent and the seriousness of this disaster. The problem is not only a humanitarian one, but it is also a social and an economic one, and I realise that what happens in Russia affects all other peoples.\n\nPolitical considerations were brought into the debate at one moment, but we of the Committee thought—and I should like to emphasise this point—that we must keep any political considerations or political ideas out of this matter. Of course, the question may be raised as to how far this disaster is due to the war, how far it is due to natural causes, and how far it is the fault of certain men, but it is not for us to discuss that matter. When this danger is spreading, and when it seems likely to continue not only this year but possibly next, we must not think of any political considerations whatsoever; we must only think of saving the lives of men. We must remember the Roman proverb, Dum Romae consulitur Saguntum expugnatur \"While men were discussing and debating at Rome, Sagunto was being stormed.\"\n\nWell, Gentlemen, about the same time that Dr. Nansen brought forward these proposals we heard that a Conference had been summoned at Brussels. There had been a previous Conference on this subject in August at Geneva. This was called on the initiative of the International Red Cross and the League of Red Cross Societies, and they appointed a Commission and two High Commissioners, Mr. Hoover and Dr. Nansen. Mr. Hoover did not see his way to accept; Dr. Nansen accepted. Dr. Nansen went to Moscow, and concluded certain agreements with the Authorities there. In the meantime, the Supreme Council of the Principal Allied Powers appointed a Commission to deal with the subject, and it was this Commission which took the Initiative in summoning this Conference for Brussels.\n\nYesterday, as Head of the Federal Political Department of Switzerland, I received an invitation for Switzerland to be represented at this Brussels Conference, and then also I heard that twenty-seven States will be represented, including Germany and the United States, and that there will also be a Representative of His Holiness the Pope. This Brussels Conference is going to deal with all possible methods by which the relief might be given to Russia. And of course, it will deal with the efficacious means by which relief can be brought.\n\nWe were of opinion, therefore, that inasmuch as the Brussels Conference was already to deal with this matter, it would not be advisable for the League of Nations to take any direct action. We must be careful to avoid duplication. It is true that we are Delegates of States, but our rôle is a more general and a more vague one than that of the Delegates who will attend at Brussels, and we should be well advised to avoid any confusion or conflict between our work and that of the other Conference.\n\nTherefore, Gentlemen, your Committee was of opinion that at present it should not deal with the question of Credits, but should wait for the Brussels Conference.\n\nWith regard to the agreements which Dr. Nansen has concluded with those in power in Russia, I have only this much to say: We wish to pay the highest tribute to Dr. Nansen, and to express our very high opinion of his abilities, and to make our acknowledgment of his previous successes. We are aware of the great success which he achieved in the repatriation of prisoners, and we have every reason to hope that in this question also he will achieve the same success.\n\nBut can the Assembly give its official sanction to these agreements? Dr. Nansen entered into them as representative of the Geneva Conference, and therefore he is responsible, not to us, but to that Conference, and it is to that Conference that he will give an account. There is also the fact to be considered that political questions might possibly be raised if we gave a definite approval to these agreements.\n\nWe are perfectly ready to express our confidence in Dr. Nansen, but we are asked to do more than that, we are asked also to express our confidence in the other party to these agreements, and I do not think that we can express such confidence in the other party.\n\nBut we can—and it is recommended—act as follows. We must address an urgent appeal to charitable bodies to give every assistance. In the second place, we must appeal to the Governments for every assistance, both of a moral and material kind, to be given to those charitable organisations. Then we should also point out that relief is required, not only in Russia, but in Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaidjan.\n\nAnd there is another suggestion which we should make to the Governments; it is that they should use the very simple and easy means of doing something immediately by placing at the disposal of suffering Russia the very large stocks of material left on their hands as a result of the war.\n\nLord Robert Cecil desired us to strengthen our action by turning into Resolutions, paragraphs 3 and 6 of the Report; that is to say, he wished us definitely to state our belief that Dr. Nansen will be successful in this matter, and also to disengage the responsibility of the League of Nations, in view of the statements made by certain Delegates, that they did not think that at the present moment their Governments would be able to grant official credits.\n\nHe wished us also to put in a Resolution our feeling that it would rest with the Council of the League to take up the question should circumstances so demand.\n\nAs Rapporteur, I shall have to make certain reservations, because I cannot speak in this matter on behalf of my colleagues, but I can say that what we desire is that there should be a unanimous movement of sympathy for Russia to proceed from this Assembly, and if Lord Robert Cecil thinks it very desirable that these Resolutions should be adopted, and other Members are able to meet his wishes and agree with him, I myself think that I could agree to these Resolutions as he desires to propose them.\n\nThere is one other point. The Chairman of the Committee, the Delegate for Spain, suggested that he should communicate the text of the Resolutions passed by us to His Holiness the Pope. The Committee enthusiastically approved of this proposal, and I am sure the Assembly will do the same. (Applause.) We are particularly glad of the noble act of His Holiness the Pope, because it shows the sympathy His Holiness feels for those ideals of justice, freedom, and charity for which the League of Nations stands.\n\nThe PRESIDENT. — Dr. Nansen, the Delegate for Norway, will address the Assembly.\n\nDr. NANSEN (Norway).—Mr. President and Gentlemen, I think the Assembly expects me to say a few words on the Report which has been so ably presented by the Chairman of the Sub-Committee, M. Motta. This Report deals with the Resolution which I ventured to lay before this Assembly in the very early stages of its deliberation, and I take this...",

        "content_text": "256\n\n1\n\nVoilà pourquoi la Commission est arrivée à cette conclusion - étant donné surtout que les délégués, au sein de la Commission, ont presque tous déclaré que leur gouvernement n'était pas en état d'accorder aujourd'hui des secours officiels que la situation présente dégageait la responsabilité de la Société des Nations et qu'il convenait d'attendre les résultats de la Conférence de Bruxelles.\n\nA cette occasion s'est posée la question des accords conclus par M. le Dr Nansen.\n\nLa Commission a été unanime pour rendre un hommage sincère, je dirai même éclatant, aux vertus du philanthrope et de l'homme d'action. La Commission a pensé que les succès antérieurs vraiment admirables que M. le Docteur Nansen a réalisés et que la dernière œuvre qu'il vient d'accomplir entouré de la reconnaissance du monde entier du rapatriement des prisonniers de Russie, sont des raisons pour la Commission, comme d'ailleurs pour le monde entier, d'espérer que les accords conclus par lui pourront l'amener à réaliser les buts humanitaires qu'il s'est proposés.\n\nDès lors, cette question a surgi: l'Assemblée peut-elle voter en quelque sorte l'approbation, peut-elle donner sa sanction officielle aux accords du Docteur Nansen ? Après de longs débats, la Commission est arrivée à cette conclusion que cette approbation ne rentre pas dans notre compétence. M. le Docteur Nansen a agi comme mandataire de la Conférence de Genève. C'est à elle qu'il doit rendre compte de la manière dont il a exécuté son mandat. Nous ne sommes pas ses mandants. Nous avons avec intérêt tout ce qu'il a fait, mais nous n'avons pas qualité pour exprimer une approbation quelconque.\n\nD'ailleurs, cette approbation soulèverait nécessairement des problèmes politiques les plus délicats et les plus compliqués. Nous pouvons affirmer notre confiance dans le Docteur Nansen, mais en approuvant ces accords, nous, Assemblée politique, nous risquerions d'affirmer d'une manière indirecte notre confiance dans la contre-partie du Docteur Nansen. Or, je ne veux rien dire qui puisse froisser qui que ce soit, mais il me semble qu'il est impossible de demander à l'Assemblée de la Société des Nations d'émettre un vote de confiance à l'adresse de la contre-partie de M. le Docteur Nansen. Alors que faire ?\n\nLa Commission a estimé qu'il fallait adresser un appel à l'opinion publique, afin qu'elle aide dans toute la mesure du possible les organisations charitables qui se sont formées et qui ont déjà agi en faveur de l'aide aux populations affamées. La Commission a pensé qu'il fallait tout particulièrement adresser cet appel aux organisations de la Croix-Rouge. Elle a cru également qu'il fallait l'adresser aux gouvernements, afin que ceux-ci aident de leur appui matériel et moral les organisations charitables, en laissant en suspens la question des crédits officiels qui doit être tranchée dans un autre lieu, dans une autre conférence.\n\nElle a cru, en outre, nécessaire de signaler que la nécessité de l'aide n'est pas seulement bornée à la Russie proprement dite, mais qu'il y a des pays infiniment intéressants auxquels s'adresse notre sollicitude et, en quelque sorte notre tendresse, tels que l'Arménie, l'Azerbaïdjan, la Géorgie.\n\nIl fallait les mettre en lumière pour que l'on sût que la Société des Nations désire voir l'effort de solidarité humaine s'exercer également en faveur de ces petits peuples libres, dont elle souhaite l'affranchissement et la souveraineté.\n\nNous avons pensé aussi que nous devions indiquer aux gouvernements qu'ils avaient un moyen très facile de contribuer à l'œuvre de secours : c'était de lui abandonner des stocks de vêtements militaires et autres approvisionnements, accumulés par eux pendant la guerre, et qui se trouvent encore à leur disposition.\n\nEnfin, nous avons pensé qu'il fallait affirmer l'idée de la coopération de l'œuvre de secours avec la Commission instituée par le Conseil pour la lutte contre les épidémies.\n\nTel est, Mesdames et Messieurs, le sens des résolutions qui vous sont proposées. Je viens d'apprendre et vous le savez par le texte imprimé qui vous a été distribué...\n\n... opportunity of expressing to M. Motta and his colleagues my sincerest and deepest gratitude for the sympathetic attitude they have taken. I know that M. Motta has done everything that he can to help the work we have so much at heart. But at the same time, I cannot conceal—and I shall make no attempt to conceal from the Assembly my disappointment at the result of this Report. Frankly, I regret the attitude which has now been taken. The purpose of the Resolution which I brought forward for your consideration was to secure the co-operation of the Governments in the great international undertaking to relieve Russia and save that country from famine. It was not my purpose merely to strengthen the appeal to private charities. That I consider to be unnecessary. I think that the famine in Russia is of such dimensions that in itself it constitutes a sufficiently strong appeal, and no word from this Assembly can strengthen that appeal. It was an appeal to the Governments which I was making, and in that appeal I have failed.\n\nLet me remind the Assembly in one sentence of the situation which I laid before you. There are at this moment between 20 and 30 millions of people who are threatened with starvation and death. If help is not forthcoming within two months from now, their fate is sealed. Everything that is needed to save them is only a few hundred miles away. The necessary transportation can be available at a moment's notice. Agreements have been made for the perfect control and distribution in Russia of the supplies that we may bring. The methods for the execution of those Agreements are ready. There has been raised in the Committee no valid objection against those Agreements or the methods proposed for their execution. \"No more is necessary to avert appalling disaster than the provision of a relatively small sum of Government money. It is no great sums that we ask for; we have only asked for £5,000,000. If we get that we think indeed, we feel convinced that it is possible to carry out very important work before Christmas, and to save the situation to a great extent.\n\nThe Governments have said that they cannot do it. Let me remind the Assembly that, from the very beginning, the charitable organisations themselves urged their absolute incapability to deal adequately with this disaster. The Conference which was called a month ago in this City, and on behalf of which I act as High Commissioner, represented sixty-seven charitable or voluntary organisations and thirteen Governments, and that Conference said the same thing. Its very first Resolution which was placed before us pointed out the necessity of Governmental action if anything really adequate for the disaster was to be done.\n\nThe Governments now throw back the whole responsibility on to the voluntary organisations. I cannot think that that is right. I cannot think that that is wise. I cannot think that it is anything but a disastrous mistake. None the less, we shall go on with our appeal to private charity. We have already made a start. You know, every one of you, that Mr. Hoover's organisation is only ready to feed three million children in Russia. Our organisation has received many gifts. From the Pope we have received one million lire. From the \"Save the Children\" Fund in Great Britain we have received a declaration that they are now willing to feed one-quarter of a million children in Russia. The Second Internationale, in Amsterdam, has given ten million marks. Contributions are being received from many communes in France, and innumerable smaller sums have been received and are being received. The Swedish Government, through the Red Cross, is already starting an expedition, in co-operation with our plans, to Russia in order to work there under our scheme and through our machinery. We shall go on striving through the great voluntary organisations which have accomplished such splendid service in the cause of humanity during the last few years, to do what is possible to mitigate a small part of the misery which is now in front of Russia.\n\nBut I fear that it is my duty—and it is a duty which I cannot carry out without deep regret—to make again some observations which I have already had the opportunity of making in the Committee.\n\nWe are doing what we can through private charity, but even our charity is being impeded and is being very seriously impeded by the campaign of misrepresentation which is being carried on. There are any amount of lies being circulated. I may remind you of one story that went to the papers...\n\n12\n\n...contribué que lord Robert Cecil a désiré compléter les résolutions que nous vous soumettons en transformant en résolutions les paragraphes 3 et 6 de l'exposé des motifs du rapport que vous avez sous les yeux. Il s'agirait d'indiquer, dans les résolutions elles-mêmes, d'une part, qu'à notre avis l'activité du Dr Nansen est un gage de ses succès futurs, d'autre part, que la réunion d'une Conférence d'Etats à Bruxelles dégage en quelque sorte la responsabilité de la Société des Nations.\n\nIl s'agirait de dire ensuite que le Conseil de la Société des Nations pourra, s'il le juge bon et si la situation vient à se modifier, intervenir ultérieurement dans la mesure et la forme qu'il estimera les plus utiles et les plus efficaces.\n\nMon rôle de rapporteur m'oblige à faire quelques réserves au sujet de l'attitude de mes collègues de la Commission.\n\nPersonnellement, je voudrais donner un gage de ma bonne volonté et de mon esprit de conciliation à lord Robert Cecil et lui dire que je désire avant tout que se produise ici une manifestation unanime de l'union complète des cœurs et des esprits et, comme je constate que ce qui est dit dans l'exposé des motifs pourrait être exprimé sous forme de résolution, si lord Robert Cecil attache une importance particulière à cette dernière forme, je n'y ferai, quant à moi, aucune opposition.\n\nSi tout le monde accepte ce point de vue, nous serons heureux de voir s'affirmer dans cette grande question, beaucoup plus importante qu'elle ne l'est en apparence, l'unanimité des membres de l'Assemblée.\n\nM. le Président de la Commission, M. le comte de Gimeno, a demandé à l'Assemblée de décider qu'elle enverra à sa Sainteté Benoit XV, par l'entremise du Président de l'Assemblée, communication des résolutions que nous allons prendre. La Commission s'est associée avec élan à cette proposition de son président. Je pense que l'Assemblée agira de même. Il est juste qu'elle applaudisse au geste généreux de Benoit XV, ce grand souverain des âmes.\n\nIl nous plaît aussi de constater qu'en s'adressant à nous, Benoit XV a accompli un acte qui dépasse la pure et simple courtoisie et qui a une grande importance morale.\n\nPar son geste, il a affirmé d'une manière éclatante la sympathie qu'il éprouve pour la Société des Nations et pour les idées de paix, de collaboration et de fraternité qu'elle entend représenter dans le monde. (Vifs applaudissements).\n\nM. le Dr NANSEN (Norvège). (L'orateur en montant à la tribune, est accueilli par les applaudissements de l'Assemblée).\n\nL'interprète :\n\nJe pense que l'Assemblée attend de moi quelques mots sur le rapport qui vous a été présenté si admirablement par M. Motta.\n\nCe rapport est présenté par la Commission au sujet de la résolution que j'ai soumise moi-même à cette Assemblée et je tiens à remercier très spécialement M. Motta pour les paroles qu'il a bien voulu prononcer sur mon œuvre et pour la manière si conciliante dont il a dirigé les débats de la Sous-Commission.\n\nD'autre part, en toute franchise et il n'y a pas de raison de ne pas parler franchement - je ne puis pas cacher ma profonde déception devant les décisions qui ont été prises. Je regrette, de tout mon cœur l'attitude adoptée.\n\nLe but de mon intervention était d'assurer une coopération des gouvernements pour sauver la Russie de cette terrible famine. Je n'avais pas comme but d'adresser un nouvel appel à la charité, car j'estime que la famine elle-même fait son appel qui doit s'imposer à la conscience des gouvernements et des peuples. Je souhaitais un appel aux gouvernements, je n'ai pas réussi.\n\nVingt à trente millions d'êtres humains sont menacés de mourir de faim, si l'on n'arrive pas à leur porter secours dans les deux mois qui vont suivre. Tout ce qui pourrait aider, toutes les provisions nécessaires sont là, elles existent: elles sont tout près de la Russie; le transport est possible, il est préparé. Le contrôle est assuré...\n\n...which you all remember, namely, that the first train that Mr. Hoover sent in to feed the Russians was looted by the Soviet Army in Russia. It was a lie; but still the same story is repeated over and over again in the Press of Europe. I was abused for having sent an expedition to Siberia, and I understand that it was said that I was bringing arms for a revolution. It was a lie. I have seen it in the papers. It is said that my friend, Captain Sverdup, was in command of it, but all that he was doing was carrying agricultural machinery to Siberia. That was not so very dangerous, after all. There are many similar stories being circulated. It is perfectly evident that they come from some central agency; I do not know where. It is from somebody who seems very interested in preventing anything being done to save the starving people of Russia. I think that I know what is the underlying thought in this campaign. It is this, that the action which we propose will, if it succeeds, strengthen the Soviet Government. I think that that is a mistake, I do not think that we shall strengthen the Soviet Government by showing the Russian people that there are hearts in Europe, and that there are people there ready to help the starving Russian people. But supposing that it does strengthen the Soviet Government: Is there any Member of this Assembly who is prepared to say that rather than help the Soviet Government he will allow twenty million people to starve to death? I challenge this Assembly to answer that question.\n\nThe central point to which the campaign has been directed seems to be the agreement that I made with the Soviet Government. Let me say a few words about that agreement. It is said that by allowing the Soviet Government to have an equal representation on the executive of two men which I propose to establish in Moscow, I am enabling the Soviet Government to impose upon our undertaking a vote preventing us from doing what we wish.\n\nIt has been urged that this agreement, which establishes such an executive, would give the other representative greater freedom and greater control. But I ask this Assembly to judge whether I, dealing with one representative of the Soviet Government, shall be more free than Mr. Hoover, who will have to deal with many and deal with the whole Government. I ask them to say whether any agreement can override the necessity for the free consent and co-operation of the Soviet authorities. My purpose is to carry out the relief without bringing in any kind of politics, and without dealing with any political party if it is possible to avoid it. But no relief can be carried out in any country, and least of all in Russia, against the wishes of the Government authorities. Mr. Hoover's agreement, no less than mine, depends, and must depend at every moment, on the goodwill and the consent and the co-operation of the Soviet.\n\nIt is not because they are mine that I am so anxious to secure the approval and the support of this Assembly to the agreement and the plan which I have made. It is needless to say that I will sacrifice them any moment, and would do so gladly if only there were anything to take their place. But I see nothing. There is no other plan, and there can be no other plan, and those precious weeks that we now have before us are so vital for successful action before they are passed.\n\nWe have heard a great deal in the Committee about the Conference at Brussels, which has been asked to meet on October 6th. The Members of the Committee expressed their warmest confidence that this Conference, which is called a Conference of Governments, will solve the financial problem of bringing help to Russia, I hope, and sincerely hope, that they are right. I hope nothing so ardently as that the Brussels Conference may fulfil every hope that is reposed in it; but I may point out that great doubt has been expressed as to whether the Conference in Brussels will be able to do anything. Unless the Governments reverse the decision which they have now taken, I do not see how that Conference can attain anything. Let me warn you that if that Conference should proceed, first by sending a Commission of Enquiry into Russia, and then when it has received the Report of that Committee has prolonged negotiations with the Soviet Government in order to attain a new agreement for action instead of mine, and if when that agreement has been made, they are to create a new machinery for the execution of the agreement, their surety and help inevitably will come too late.",

Every endeavour will be made to include a visit to the Peak in the programme as the Prince has expressed a special desire to see how the once-barren mountain has been made habitable.\n\nThe Hongkong Automobile Association has arranged to place a certain number of cars at the disposal of the Prince and his staff during their stay.\n\nTHE PRINCE'S STAFF.\n\nThe names of the Prince's staff are as follow:\n\nComptroller.-Vice-Admiral Sir Lionel Halsey, R.N., K.C.M.G., C.B.\n\nMilitary Secretary.-Brig.

Smith won one and lost three, scoring 18 games. Total: 30 games.\n\nGOLF.\n\nLADIES SECTION.\n\nThe results of recent competitions are as follow:-\n\nELECTIC COMPETITIONS.\n\nHappy Valley.

Some time ago some of the parents of those boys approached the management of the Club and complained of the high wages the boys were able to earn as caddies. It was thought that the boys had become unmanageable at home owing to the fact that they were able to earn more than their parents, who worked in the fields. This presumption is evidently true to-day, when the boys can afford to stay away when it pleases them from earning easily made money. As will be seen from our advertising columns, the Committee have taken the only course open to them, and members are forbidden to engage local caddies at Fanling until further notice. Private caddies are still doing their duty but as boys at this time may offer themselves for engagement as caddies it is laid down that no new private caddies should be engaged meantime.\n\nMembers are requested to use the course as much as possible—carrying one's own clubs is no great hardship. Private servants or caddies may be brought from Hongkong. The Superintendent has instructions to see that the above rules are strictly enforced.\n\nBILLIARDS.\n\nLuz, 500; Kwok, 474.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nTHE LAW COURTS\n\nCRIMINAL SESSIONS.\n\nYAUMATI PAWNSHOP ROBBERY.\n\nA great deal of valuable jewellery was displayed in Court on March 20th, when Li Cheung and Ho Yee were indicted, before Mr. Justice Gompertz, for robbery, with an alternative charge of receiving.\n\nMr. A. Dyer Ball prosecuted for the Crown and Mr. Chou, instructed by Mr. F. X. d'Almada, defended Ho Yee. Both prisoners pleaded not guilty.\n\nThe following were empanelled as a jury:- Messrs. E. C. Bell, A. A. Bolton, W. H. B. Muskett, F. A. S. Loureiro, E. Grossman and G. A. E. Musitano.\n\nMr. Dyer Ball said that this was a pawnshop robbery of a somewhat important and serious nature. The robbery was said to have taken place at night, on February 13th, from the Yau Tai pawnshop at 280, Shanghai Street, Yaumati.\n\nIn describing the incidents of the night, Mr. Dyer Ball said the Crown was of opinion that a newly engaged assistant in the pawnshop—Lai Nam Po—was in league with the robbers, admitted them to the premises and was the only one not bound up. The assistant entertained three nocturnal visitors to tea and cigarettes; they suddenly produced revolvers, intimidated the coolies, kept them under guard all night and, with others of the gang who arrived later, went systematically through the valuables in the place and made a big haul. The prisoners were found afterwards in possession of a great quantity of jewellery, identified as having come from the pawnshop. The new assistant could not now be found or he would be in the dock too.\n\nEvidence was then called.\n\nEach prisoner was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment with hard labour and ordered to receive twelve strokes of the cat.\n\nASSAULT AND ROBBERY. Three men who assaulted a boatwoman in order to rob her (and who had a narrow escape at the time from lynch law at the hands of a mob) were sentenced to three years' imprisonment with hard labour and ten strokes of the cat.\n\nMAGISTRACY.\n\nMOTORISTS' RIGHT TO PASS.\n\nMr. H. A. Lammert, who brought a summons about a year ago on the subject of obstruction by slow-driving motorists on the road to Repulse Bay, had a similar complaint to make in the Police Court, on Mar. 21st, with regard to Castle Peak Road. Last time the defendant was a well-known police official; this time it was a Chinese chauffeur. The charge was \"obstructing the roadway.\"\n\nTraffic Inspector Garrod said that on the Castle Peak Road, on Sunday evening, March 12th, the driver of car No. 432 was overtaken by Mr. H. A. Lammert in car No. 391 who alleged that he repeatedly asked, by the usual method of sounding the horn, to pass the defendant's car, which was going along at a very slow pace. The defendant ignored his request and went along at this slow pace for a considerable time.\n\nMr. H. A. Lammert, in evidence, said that when he overtook the defendant's car it was about 100 yards behind another car. He gave three \"toots,\" which was the usual signal for permission to pass. The defendant immediately increased his speed, but still kept to the centre of the road. A man sitting beside the driver turned round to look at him; witness could perceive this through the glass pane at the back of the hood, which was up. On two or three occasions the other car drew ahead of him, and, thinking he had a chance, he sounded the horn. On occasion, the defendant speeded up to the other car, but never gave a chance to pass. In Nathan Road, as the road was wide, he was able to pass.\n\nIn reply to the Magistrate, Mr. Lammert added that his speedometer was out of order, but, reckoning by the time, which was 40 minutes for the nine-and-half miles, he thought the speed he was forced to keep at was between fifteen and twenty miles an hour.\n\nA fine of $10 was imposed.\n\nWHITE-CLOUD MOUNTAIN MURDER CASE.\n\nMURDERER SENTENCED TO 12 YEARS IMPRISONMENT.\n\nThe Canton Times reports that in the final hearing of the Local Court, on March 19th, Chen Bing-sing (Chairman of the Seamen's Guild in Hongkong at the beginning of the recent strike), who murdered his wife at the foot of the White-cloud Mountain about one month ago, was sentenced to imprisonment for a period of twelve years. He was also ordered by the judge to pay $1,300 as compensation to the court policeman, whom he wounded when he was arrested in the Yet Wah Hotel.\n\nChen declares that he will appeal to the Higher Court.\n\nTHE FALKLAND VICTORY.\n\nAIDED BY HONGKONG NAVAL ACTIVITIES.\n\nVice-Admiral Anstruther, who was Commodore in Hongkong during the war, is claiming recognition from the Admiralty for the service he rendered at Hongkong which, he claims, brought about the annihilation of Von Spee's Squadron.\n\n\"I am in a position to know how Von Spee was foiled,\" says Vice-Admiral Anstruther, quoted in the China Express and Telegraph. \"I was in command of the British Naval Forces at Hongkong when the war broke out. My business was to look after the British Naval defences in the Far Eastern waters and to protect the trade routes between Hongkong and Singapore. I say that we, at Hongkong, stopped von Spee's supplies, and thus caused delay and prevented his achieving the object he had in view. All his supplies were at Manila, which was then a neutral port.\n\n\"We sent ships down to prevent the nineteen steamers there getting out. We showed the flag outside that port, and they never did get out. The result was that when Von Spee got to the Marquesas Islands he found himself short of supplies. He was delayed something like four or five weeks before he could get fresh supplies. He had to arrange this by wireless, and he had to get those supplies on the coast of California.\n\n\"The consequence was that he met Cradock on the west coast of South America instead of on the east, where he expected him. If von Spee had got there even 24 hours earlier, Sturdee would have been too late. I say, therefore, it is rather a poor compliment to say that Lord Fisher lured von Spee to the Falkland Islands merely to destroy him in revenge for Coronel. I think that my command at Hongkong did very real service in stopping von Spee's supplies. I have made representations to the Admiralty claiming recognition for that service.\"\n\nSPEEDY AIR AND WATER CRAFT.\n\nThe Daily Mail reports the introduction into French Colonies of powerful river transport machines embodying the features of watercraft and aeroplanes, which have proved most successful. The craft is known as Hydroglisseurs. They have a flat hydroplane hull and are propelled on the surface of rivers at the speed of an express train by means of propellers exactly similar to those of an aeroplane. Cochin China Hydroglisseur reduced what takes some days' journey ordinarily to nine hours. On the Niger a thousand mile journey was accomplished at the average speed of 36 miles an hour.",

Tai, stevedores, who was shot at mid-day on the Praya on February 24th, and is generally supposed to be a victim of revenge for actions connected with the Seamen's Strike.\n\nThe presiding Judge was the Chief Justice (Sir Wm. Rees Davies). The Attorney-General (the Hon. Mr. J. H. Kemp, K.C.) conducted the case for the Crown and Mr. F. C. Jenkin (instructed by Mr. G. K. Hall Brutton) defended.\n\nThe prisoner entered a plea of 'not guilty,' and a special jury \"to ascertain whether he be guilty or not guilty\" was empanelled forthwith. This consisted of Mr. H. W. Bird (who was chosen to act as foreman), Mr. A. S. Gubbay, Mr. W. B. Walker, Mr. W. Sinclair, Mr. H. S. Bennett, Mr. John Arnold and Mr. A. E. Crapnell.\n\nOn March 21st, the case for the Crown was concluded in the trial of Leung Wo who is indicted for the murder of Leung Yuk Tong, on the Praya, on February 24th.\n\nThe Attorney-General prefaced his account of the shooting incident on the Praya and the chase through Statue Square, with the arrest, finally, of the prisoner, by mentioning that the deceased was connected with Messrs. Jack A Tai, who were concerned, during the strike, in getting away three steamers belonging to the Ocean Steamship Co. The Attorney-General understood that the defence was that a mistake had been made in identity.\n\nThe whole day was occupied in calling the witnesses whose evidence, given in the Police Court, has been so recently reported, very fully. It was noticed, by the way, that learned counsel were making great use of the Daily Press report to supplement the Police Court depositions.\n\nThe principal witness, of course, was Capt. David Morgan, master of the s.s. Kwongsing, who said that, walking along the Praya \"in a brown study,\" he heard the crack of a shot and then saw a ricksha drop and its occupant fall out. A man who was within a few feet of the ricksha, and who had a wisp of smoke in front of him, ran away through Statue Square and up Wardley Street. Witness chased him and later saw him on the ground with a man standing over him.\n\nIn cross-examination, Mr. Jenkin elicited that, on the Praya, Capt. Morgan did not see the face of the man he chased. If this man had not run at once he would not have suspected him of firing the revolver.\n\nMr. Jenkin: I am going to establish out of the mouths of a number of Crown witnesses that there were a number of other Chinese running.\n\nMr. Jenkin asked Capt. Morgan what his brown study was about. Was he, like the rest of us, wrapped in contemplation of the temporary beauties which now adorned Statue Square?\n\nCapt. Morgan: No, I believe I was wondering whether I had won any money in the sweeps.—(Laughter.)\n\nMr. Jenkin: Are you prepared to swear that you did not lose sight of this man on more than one occasion before he turned into Wardley Street?\n\nWitness: You are cutting it too fine, Mr. Jenkin.\n\nIn the morning, before the hearing was resumed, Judge, jury and counsel visited the scene of the shooting and of the chase. The Court was again largely attended by Chinese, who were searched by the police before admission.\n\nA number of witnesses were called to complete the Crown's case; to trace the finding of the revolver, for instance, and to record its passage from hand to hand until it became an \"exhibit\" in the trial.\n\nMr. H. C. Resker, assistant manager of Taikoo Sugar Refinery, said Jack A Tai's were their coolie contractors. About February 1st some of the men supplied by the deceased, Leung Yuk Tong, threatened to strike. Deceased undertook to stop the strike and it was averted.\n\nMr. A. B. H. Phillips, chemist at Taikoo Sugar Refinery, spoke to being in telephonic communication with deceased in connection with the food supply to temporary labourers.\n\nHaving made these preliminary observations, Mr. Jenkin said the case for the Crown would stand or fall by Capt. Morgan's evidence.\n\nThe defence was that a mistake in identity had been made. Capt. Morgan—a man of 63 years of age—had shown great pluck in taking up the chase in the way he did but Mr. Jenkin said he intended to show that Capt. Morgan had mistaken his man.\n\nThe crucial test of the Captain's evidence, Mr. Jenkin suggested, was his recollections about Mr. Green. When first called he said Mr. Green was at the railings near the City Hall but now he said Mr. Green was not standing there. If Mr. Green were on a charge for an assault committed at the top of Wardley Street, how could he possibly be convicted on Capt. Morgan's evidence? Capt. Morgan said he identified Mr. Green by his face and his clothes, yet he put him in the wrong place. It was, therefore, quite possible that he put the prisoner—whom he could not recognise, either by his face or his clothes—in the wrong place, also.\n\nMr. Jenkin also suggested that if Capt. Morgan once lost sight of his man during the chase his identification was of little value. He went on to say that Captain Morgan lost sight of the running man on three occasions—when he ran behind the pillars near the Praya, into Wardley Street; secondly, when Capt. Morgan was jumping over the obstacle of which he spoke, near the Statue; thirdly, when the man entered the part of Wardley Street between the Bank and the City Hall.\n\nMr. Jenkin reminded the jury that when they visited the locus in quo, that morning, he drew their attention to the fact that the temporary pillars blotted out Wardley Street from the spot where he and the jury were then standing, which was on alongside the Bank pavement Garden. Capt. Morgan must have lost sight of the man he was chasing since the big pillars in the Square had not been erected on February 24th. Mr. Jenkin then put in photographs showing that the pillars were there on that date.\n\nCapt. Morgan was then recalled and further cross-examined by Mr. Jenkin.\n\nCapt. Morgan: I did not see anybody throwing a revolver over the railing—No; I did not.\n\nFung Chi, the fireman, in examination, said four men running up the street, were Chinese; three were running on the left side and one on the right. He lost sight of the three men and the man who was running alone was caught.\n\nCapt. Morgan said that when the shot was fired he was in a brown study, thinking about race results and counsel hoped to show that the witness's powers of observation were such as not to justify any certainty as to what he said.\n\nThe evidence for the defence would be this: As the ricksha came along the Praya, three men came out from amongst the pillars in Wardley Street. A big...\n\n[March 25th, 1922]\n\nThe Judge asked, was the man running alone the prisoner? The witness could not say.\n\nAfter Mr. A. H. Barlow and Mr. Ho Cheuk had repeated the evidence they had given in the Police Court as to the finding of the revolver in the Bank Garden, the case for the Crown was closed.\n\nADDRESS FOR THE DEFENCE.\n\nIn opening his address for the defence, Mr. Jenkin remarked that the case had excited a good deal of feeling, owing to the labour troubles at the time. There were people who said that the man ought to have been executed on the spot. The jury, however, must not allow themselves to be swayed by passion but must decide according to the evidence.\n\nMr. Jenkin also said that he had been criticised, openly and covertly, for taking part in the case, but it was the duty of counsel, if he were retained, to do all he could for his client, within the ordinary rules governing the members of the Bar. If he had been assigned by the Crown, instead of being retained, he would have fought the case just as strenuously.\n\nDuring the examination of Mr. Pereira, who knocked down the running man, the Chief Justice told the witness: \"I think your action does you credit, whether you struck the right man or not. You were right in assisting in the administration of order.\"\n\nMr. Jenkin questioned the witness as to what he would do if someone knocked him down without apparent excuse.\n\nThe witness replied that he would demand satisfaction from his assailant.\n\nThe Chief Justice elicited that the witness understood Chinese perfectly well and he was sure that the man he knocked down said nothing at all.\n\nCapt. Morgan admitted that it was possible he might have lost sight of the man when a pillar intervened, but, later, he said he did not believe he lost sight of him at all. It would have been possible for two men to have run ahead of him and the man he was chasing and for one of them to throw a revolver into the garden.\n\nMr. Jenkin suggested to witness that three or four Chinese were in the vicinity of the ricksha and rushed across into Wardley Street.\n\nCapt. Morgan: I did not see anybody.\n\nWitness was certain that there was nobody running on the pavement, unless they were behind him, but there might have been people running on the road.\n\nMr. S. D. Begg, of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, said Jack A. Tai's were their stevedores.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Did you not see the man throwing a revolver over the railing—No; I did not.",

        "content_text": "March 25th, 1922.]\n\nAs regards the third point—mis-direction in reply to questions by the Jury—I see no mis-direction whatever in it. My direction to the Jury was that if they accepted the evidence of Capt. Morgan as a whole they would be entitled to convict beyond reasonable doubt. They now ask me if they have any right to convict, irrespective of the fact of whether as he fired the shot fired\n\nThe Attorney-General: At this stage, I should like to refer to Capt. Morgan's evidence. He did not actually see the prisoner fire the shot. He saw there; he saw the smoke.\n\na man\n\nMr. Jenkin: A wisp of smoke, and he never saw him throw away the revolver and there is evidence, contra, that somebody else fired the shot. Running away is not murder.\n\nThe Chief Justice (continuing his reply to Mr. Jenkin): You have your remedy in a petition to His Majesty's Privy Council. I see no reason whatever for reserving the point.\n\nMr. Jenkin: May I apply to your Lordship—I do not quite know what is the usual practice—that the judgment on this man be suspended while I make this application?\n\nThe Chief Justice: I see no reason whatever to suspend it. I shall certainly pass sentence upon him.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Certainly my Lord; if that is your Lordship's opinion I shall sit down.\n\nSENTENCE PASSED.\n\nThe prisoner was then asked, in the usual form, if he had anything to say why judgment should not be passed upon him. He said he had, but he wanted to make his statement from the witness-box.\n\n\"No, you cannot do that,\" said the Judge. \"What you wish to say you must say from there.\"\n\nThe prisoner then began to repeat the evidence he had already given. After some sentences of this, the Judge said, \"You have told us all this before. Unless you have anything to say in addition, it is a waste of time.\"\n\nPrisoner: In that case I have nothing else to say, but I must ask you to act according to reason.\n\nThe Judge: Is that all?\n\nPrisoner: I do not know how to say anything else. I must leave the matter in your hands, to have mercy on me and to do things according to reason.\n\nThe Judge then donned the black cap and addressed the Prisoner:\n\nLeung Wo.—The Jury, after a very patient hearing and after a very able defence on your behalf, have found you guilty of murder, and in that verdict I entirely concur. It was a dastardly crime and you took away the life of a man, for some motive best known to you, and, so far as we know, a man who had done you no harm. For the offence of murder there is only one punishment known to the law and it is my duty to pass sentence upon you. Sentence of death was then pronounced.\n\nI committed no offence: I must say something more before I die.\"\n\nThe Chief Justice ordered him to be removed: he resisted violently and in spite of his small stature it took three or four burly policemen to remove him to the cells below the dock.\n\nThe Court rose at a few minutes past six o'clock.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT —\n\nTHE AMOY BOYCOTT WITHDRAWN.\n\nDISPUTE THAT DRAGGED ON FOR FOUR MONTHS.\n\nThe N.-C. Daily News of March 4th says:-\n\nWe are pleased to announce that a settlement has been arrived at in the Amoy dispute. Yesterday a telegram was received by Messrs. Butterfield & Swire stating that the boycott had been completely withdrawn. The terms of settlement have not yet been received. It would seem that much credit for the settlement is due to Mr. Eastes, who was recently appointed to Amoy as Consul in the place of Mr. Tours, who has gone on home leave, and judging from the tone of a telegram despatched to Shanghai by the People's Association of Amoy, his manner of approaching the subject placated the more restless of the Chinese and smoothed the way for a settlement. Of course, Mr. Eastes had the advantage of coming absolutely new to the crisis, untrammelled by all that had gone before.\n\nThe dispute has dragged on since about the middle of November last, when objection was taken to the construction of a pier connecting the B. & S. hulk and the Bund. As we have already shown, Messrs. Butterfield & Swire were perfectly within their rights in undertaking this work, and it was not until some time afterwards that the discovery was made that the real cause of the agitation was the existence of walls constructed for purposes of defence on the boundary of the British concession and the Chinese city. Thus Messrs. Butterfield & Swire were made the victims of a dispute which really concerned only the British Consulate officials and the Chinese.\n\n  \n    It is now understood that an agreement to remove the offending walls paved the way to a compromise, and it is to be hoped that the matter has been settled once and for all. Messrs. Butterfield & Swire's shipments of goods to Amoy will be resumed at the end of the present week.\n  \n\nESTIMATE OF JAPAN'S WEALTH.\n\nPREPARED FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS.\n\nThe Asahi says that the Japanese Government, in compliance with a request from the Board of Councillors of the League of Nations at Geneva, appointed a special Commission to fix the standard valuation of the wealth of Japan and make a report to the League.\n\nSome time ago Sir Eric Drummond, of the Board of Councillors of the League, through Viscount Ishii, Japanese Ambassador in Paris, asked the Tokyo Government to present statistics showing the wealth of Japan, and accordingly the Government instructed the Census Bureau to make investigations.\n\n  \n    35\n    225\n  \n\nInvestigations made by the Census Bureau last year show that the wealth of Japan is valued at Y.86,077,070,000. This shows an increase of Y.54,034,140,000 as compared with the year valuation in 1913, before the outbreak of the war. Of the total cost above, the land in Japan Proper, Formosa and other over-seas territories is valued at Y.33,085,660,000, the mines at Y.6,412,820,000 and buildings at Y.8,560,060,000, while the lake, rivers, gulfs, etc., are valued at Y.4,598,980,000. Gold and silver coins and bullion are put at Y.2,359,910,000. The property of the Court Imperial is estimated at Y.345,942,900, of which the land is valued at Y.307,510,100, buildings at Y.14,440,300, furniture, etc., at Y.7,220,100, and live-stock at Y.298,800.\n\nJAPAN'S ATTITUDE IN CHINA.\n\nGENERAL HIGASHI'S STATEMENT.\n\nSTRICT NEUTRALITY IN CHINESE POLITICS.\n\nPEKING, March 9th.\n\nThe following statement by General Higashi, Japanese Military Attaché in Peking:-\n\nSince Marshal Tuan Chih-jui removed his residence to Tientsin some time ago there have been in circulation all sorts of rumours regarding his motive and activities, and some of the Chinese papers from time to time circulated reports purporting to show that some Japanese Militarists were behind the alleged activities of Marshal Tuan and his followers. In some instances my name was mentioned as being in the alleged Japanese support of one party or the other.\n\nIt was reported by a Shanghai paper that Colonel Honjo, of Mukden, came to Peking some time ago to act as intermediary between Marshal Tuan Chi-jui, Marshal Chang Tso-lin and Mr. Liang Shih-yi and myself to secure Japanese military assistance in an alliance to be formed against General Wu Pei-fu and his party. It was also reported in another paper that I was involved in a scheme to transport Chinese arms kept in Shanghai to Hunan with a view to giving assistance to General Chao Hung-ti.\n\n\"These are only a few examples of the astounding stories that have been circulated by some interested party to alienate Japan from one party or the other. The fallacy of these reports is fully proved by the fact that Colonel Honjo has never been in Peking during the last seven or eight years, and that I have never been asked by anybody to assist in the alleged transport of arms to Hunan. Apparently there is a force at work all the time, which is trying to benefit itself by circulating these baseless reports.\n\n\"It is hardly necessary to point out that the attitude of the Japanese Government on the political situation in China is one of strict neutrality. When the reports of Marshal Tuan Chih-jui's removal to Tientsin reached Tokio the Japanese Government semi-officially announced its intention to remain strictly neutral on the situation.\n\n\"Friendly neutrality towards the political situation in China is not only the declared attitude of the Japanese Government but is also the unanimous demand of public opinion in Japan, and it is needless to repeat here that the Japanese Military Representatives in China are acting strictly in accordance with instructions from their Home Government. In fact, it is impossible for them to act otherwise.\"",

        "content_text": "September 3rd, 1921.]\n\nGovernment is satisfied that it is a bona-fide enterprise. \"If it proves successful it will relieve Chinese and foreign shipping in South China from the serious handicap imposed by dependence on imported coal.\" What further impressed the Under Secretary of State is the fact that the \"agreement has been negotiated with the provincial authorities strictly in accordance with the Chinese Government's rule that the terms must be settled with the provincial authorities before ratification by the Central Government.\" There is opposition of some sort to practically every agreement made in China, said Mr. HARMSWORTH, but \"in this case there had not been any marked opposition other than that instigated for political purposes.\"\n\nThe Canton authorities will not admit, of course, that their opposition is instigated entirely for political purposes, but, all the same, they are making use of the incident to impress upon the British Foreign Office a clearer realisation of the present chaotic state of government in China.\n\nSome such development as the CASSEL Syndicate contemplate would clearly give an enormous fillip to industrial and trade enterprise in South China, and we trust it may still be possible to speedily reconcile the aims of the Syndicate with those of the Government at Canton. We hold no brief for the Syndicate but we think it is a thousand pities that the progress and development of the province on an important scale should be thwarted and arrested as it is by political strife.\n\nWEDDING IN KOWLOON.\n\nFORBES-SUMMERS,\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nRANDOM REFLECTIONS.\n\nThe manifold sins and wickednesses of the Press are a perennial topic with the clergy and ministers of all denominations. The reason is probably to be found in the fact that the Press is an institution which, conscious of its power, usually treats these attacks with the easy indulgence of the navvy, who, when asked why he allowed his little wife to scold him perpetually without protest, replied: \"Well, it pleases her and it doesn't hurt me.\"\n\nAs a rule, too, the indictment is couched in such general terms that those newspapers—and they constitute the vast majority—which know themselves to be above reproach do not deem it worth while to offer any defence, while the others have no defence to offer.\n\nTo judge by its contents, the British Press of Hongkong would appear to be in the first category. The community would appear to be paragons of propriety, untouched by the breath of scandal and dividing their time judiciously between commercial transactions, social gatherings, religious and philanthropic effort, and out-door sports. We have, in fact, nearly realised Sir Edwin Arnold's ideal that a newspaper should be like a sun-dial and record only the bright hours of existence.\n\nThe Rev. J. Kirk Maconachie, however, thinks otherwise. Glancing over a number of copies of our local journals, while on his way out to the Colony, he says, he gained the impression that the main pre-occupation of the place must be Police-court cases. That was before the war. Since then the contents have been rather more diversified, but, even so, he hopes that neither our mentality nor our morality will be judged a century hence by the seeming proportion in which our attention is given to sport, crime, scandal, business, and the public good.\n\nIf our grandchildren take our Press as a whole they will form a pretty just conception of us and our tastes, for the Press is a mirror as well as a mouthpiece, and if you don't like your reflection in it that is largely your own fault.\n\nThe wedding was solemnised, on September 1st, at the Rosary Church, Kowloon, of Mr. R. F. Forbes (of Messrs. Mustard & Co.) and Miss Eva Margaret Summers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Summers (of the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co.).\n\nThe ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Spada, Bishop Pozzoni also being present.\n\nThe bride, who was given away by her father, wore a gown of ivory charmeuse with an overskirt of embroidered net and a long embroidered train, carried by the bride's little niece, Evelyn Summers. The bride's veil of old lace, lent by one of her friends, was caught up with orange blossom. Her shower bouquet was of white cadema d'amour tube roses and eucharist lilies.\n\nThe bridesmaid was Miss Ethel Mary Packham, who wore a dress of white net over pink crepe de Chine and a hat of pink georgette. She carried a bouquet of pink cadema d'amour.\n\nThe duties of best man were discharged by Mr. J. H. Brister (of Messrs. Reiss & Co.).\n\nAfter the ceremony a reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents. Later, the newly-wedded couple left for their honeymoon, the bride's going-away costume being of brown floral net over brown crepe de Chine and net, with brown lace hat to match.\n\nEnthusiastic crowds greeted the Prince of Wales on his arrival in Liverpool, last month. At the Cotton Exchange, Col. J. J. Shute, the president, in welcoming his Royal Highness, described him as \"the greatest democrat of us all.”\n\nPersonally I am more concerned about the world we live in than about the impression which will be formed of us a hundred years from now. Some of us are so comfortably placed that but for our newspapers we should know nothing of the temptations, trials, and tribulations of our less fortunate fellowmen. The publication of facts unpleasant in themselves enables those who live in a world apart from the toiling masses to realise the need that exists for the efforts of Ministers of the Gospel and philanthropists, and often constitutes a greater terror to the evil-doer in high places than the punishment inflicted by the law. As the Rev. A. N. Rowland remarked at Shanghai last month, \"so long as we have our newspaper we shall never cease to be religious, for by the aid of its mirror our sins are kept ever before us.\"\n\nMr. Maconachie, on the other hand, fears that the effect on the vast majority of the \"distorted news\" they read is bound to be in the direction of vitiating the mind and degrading the appetite. The minds that are so easily affected must, I fear, be already defiled and debilitated. I have never understood, for example, that our Judges and Magistrates were an unusually depraved class. So far as the \"lower orders\" are concerned, it may be doubted if they read in the newspaper anything worse than the dramas they are compelled to see enacted before their eyes. The moral of even the worst criminal or divorce case is that \"the way of the transgressor is hard.\"\n\nIf the masses, like most of us, are attracted by \"the human interest\" there are invariably other less \"objectionable\" items provided for their edification and acceptance—the powder concealed in the jam, as it were. The Einstein Theory, even though garnished with bright and vivacious missionary news, would \"leave them cold,\" I fear, at present, just as religion did till the Salvation Army popularised it with red jerseys, tambourines, and hymns set to music-hall tunes to the horror of the staid and respectable.\n\nWhen Mr. Maconachie laments the space which the newspaper editors devote to the outré, the abnormal, and the distorted, he should derive comfort from the reflection that there are some things, such as the death of Queen Anne, which are taken for granted, and quite properly so. Imagine the consternation that would be caused if this journal appeared one morning with such announcements as the following:\n\nYesterday passed without an earthquake.\n\nMessrs. Ellis, Dee and Co are, our advices lead us to believe, still solvent.\n\nThe s.s. Typhoon, which left London last week with a full passenger list for Hongkong, is, we rejoice to learn, still afloat.\n\nMr. ... Our esteemed fellow-townsman, Beer, was perfectly sober last night.\n\nThe Municipal Engineer did a good honest day's work yesterday.\n\nThe manager of the Cash Bank has not disappeared and is still at large.\n\nMr. Blank, our readers will be glad to know, was seen yesterday spending a portion of his hard-earned wages in buying boots for the baby, while his wife was heard singing cheerfully at the wash-tub.\n\nThe only difficulty about this sort of \"news\" lies in the possibility of somebody discovering an innuendo in it, and of anyone who should happen, by an oversight, to be omitted from the review, regarding the omission as an oblique reflection on him. The Law of Libel robs the Press of much potential brightness.\n\nIn England it is the invariable practice to hold an inquest upon the body of every person who comes to a violent end or dies suddenly without medical attention. In Hongkong there is no such rule, the matter being left entirely to the discretion of the coroners, who are also the magistrates. From most points of view the Home practice seems to be the better of the two, for, though the immediate cause of death may be perfectly obvious, there are often surrounding circumstances that call for investigation, and blame can be apportioned or sinister rumours silenced.\n\nBy way of illustration let me recall the fatal accident which befell a European boy a week or two back when returning with his mother by the launch run, I believe, under the aegis of the Government to and from Stonecutter's for the convenience of bathers. The published reports stated that the little fellow overbalanced and fell into the water, and that no trace of him could be found till next day, though the launch was stopped and several people dived in to rescue him. Rumours now in circulation are in direct conflict with this statement. What degree of credence is to be attached to them I do not know, owing to the absence of any sworn testimony, but it seems pertinent to ask, at least, how the boy ...\n\n217",

Biucbell.\n\nThe s.s. Pyrrhus, Blue Funnel line, arrived in port on September 1st with the English mail of July 28th. She did the voyage from Liverpool to Hongkong in thirty-three days.\n\nThe Bishop of Victoria (Dr. Duppuy) returned to Hongkong on August 29th, after an absence of two months on tour of his extensive diocese, which extends to Yunnanfu.\n\nThe South Staffords go from Singapore to Maymyo relieving the 2nd K.O.R. (Lancasters) Regiment, while the 2nd Wilts go from Hongkong to Bangalore in the Spring relieving the 2nd Dorsets.\n\nRural building, lot No. 175, adjoining Villa Miramere, Pokfulum, having an area of 37,100 sq. ft., was sold this week to Mr. E. T. H. Bunje for $4,800. The upset price was $2,226, or 6 cents a sq. ft. No fewer than fourteen lots of Crown land (including the four lots on which the old Post Office and Supreme Court stand) are advertised for sale by auction. Six of these are on Mount Davis.\n\nAnnouncement was made on Sept. 1st of the appointment of Mr. J. H. Taggart as Managing Director of the Hongkong Hotel Co., Ltd.; of Mr. H. N. Beaurepaire as Secretary; and Mr. E. W. Alderson as Sub-manager.\n\nThe King held an Investiture at Buckingham Palace on July 19th. Amongst those introduced into the presence of the Sovereign was Sir Charles Addis, who received a Knight Commandership of the Order of St. Michael and St. George.\n\nThe financial statement of the Colony for the month of May, published in the current Gazette, shows a revenue for the month of $1,484,925.43 and an expenditure of $963,561.46. The balance of assets over liabilities is given as $5,573,420.44.\n\nA very desirable public improvement is foreshadowed in the Government Gazette by a call for tenders for the construction of a reinforced concrete public pier, 160 feet 8 inches long by 41 feet 4 inches wide, and approach at Queen's Statue Square.\n\nFollowing the seizure by the police of a revolver and 48 rounds of ammunition, a European named Sydney Spalding, living at No. 6, Observatory Villas, was arrested by the police but was afterwards found to need hospital treatment. He is now in the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nMr. John J. Gorman, manager in the Far East of the Admiral Line, was a passenger by the s.s. Keystone State. Mr. Gorman is on a visit to the Company's agencies at Hongkong and Manila and will return to Seattle on the same steamer. Mr. Geo. A. Heyburn, assistant manager, will be in charge during the absence of Mr. Gorman.\n\nIt will interest old Hongkong residents to know that among those mentioned as possible successors of Mr. Crane as United States Minister to China was Dr. Stuart Thomson. A New Jersey paper says: \"Dr. Thomson was formerly manager at Hongkong, China, of the Pacific Mail and Toyo Kisen Kaisha Trans-Pacific Steamship Company's office, in which position he succeeded the Far East veteran, John Sheffield Van Buren, nephew of President Van Buren.”\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS &\n\nImprovements at Government House for which tenders are being invited include the erection, on the site of the existing stables and outbuildings, of a garage, laundry and custodian's quarters, and the forming of a new carriage drive involving alterations to the eastern entrance.\n\nTen robbers, armed with rifles and revolvers, broke into the Kwong Wo Yuen grocery shop, in Leungshanwan village, Saikung district, on the night of Aug.25th. They stole a large quantity of clothing, jewellery, money and provisions, and took away with them the proprietor, and his son, whom they are holding for ransom.\n\nTo mark the anniversary of the birthday of Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands, the Consul-General for the Netherlands held an \"at home\" at the Holland Club, on August 31st. H.E. the Governor and the Colonial Secretary were represented and the foreign consuls and a large number of the Colony's Dutch residents attended.\n\n189\n\n[September 3rd, 1921.] Many friends of the Rev. Charles Bone, who for seventeen years was the pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church at Wanchai, will regret to read the announcement of the death, in England, of Mrs. Bone, on August 26th. It is a little more than five years since they left the Colony. At present their three married daughters are all in England, on leave from Hongkong and from West Africa. The only surviving son is with Messrs. Butterfield & Swire in Shanghai, the younger son having been killed in the war. Much sympathy will be felt with the husband and family in the loss they have sustained.\n\nThe new Sharebrokers' Association formed by the \"outside brokers\" was inaugurated on September 1st, when there was a gathering of brokers and investors at the offices of the Association in Ice House Street to launch the Association in the customary way with Mr. A. H. Carroll, who has been one of the moving spirits in organising this Association, explained that the membership of the Hongkong Stockbrokers' Association was severely restricted and a desire had long existed among the outside brokers for the formation of another Association. The desire was now fulfilled, and he was glad to be able to announce that the new Association was supported by some of the largest investors and speculators in the Colony. The Association would meet at the same hour as the older body, so there would be no possibility of \"cribbing\" quotations. The Association intended in the near future to include in its list many stocks—especially Chinese Bank stocks—not at present quoted on the local exchange.\n\nRevised rates of postage on parcels posted in Hongkong to various parts of the world came into force on September 1st. A list occupying a couple of pages appears in the Government Gazette. The rates to the United Kingdom are not affected by the revision, but the list includes a number of British Colonies and possessions in Africa and America.\n\nA small railway platform is being built at Ho Mun Tin and we understand that, from the 16th inst., two trains in the morning—at 8.15 and 9.00—and two in the evening—from Kowloon at 5.27 and 7.09—will stop at this halt. Residents at Ho Mun Tin express themselves as highly gratified by this consideration on the part of the Railway Administration.\n\nA bathing party had a gruesome experience in Junk Bay a few days ago. While the bathers were in the water they observed a dead body rise to the surface. It was the truncated body of a European which bore indications of having been in the water many days. Evidently the man had been drowned while bathing, as the body was covered with a bathing dress. No report had been made to the police of any European being missing, and it is presumed that the body is that of a sailor from a vessel who may have been taking a lonely swim and lost his life unobserved by any one, and his disappearance from the ship may have been regarded perhaps at the time as desertion.\n\nThe newly-formed Society for the Protection of Mui Tsais held a meeting in the hall of the Tung Wah Hospital on August 27th under the chairmanship of the Hon. Mr. Lau Chu-pak. There was an attendance of about 200 interested Chinese gentlemen, the majority of whom were members. On the Chairman's suggestion, the membership fee was fixed at $2. It was decided that an annual subscription was unnecessary because whenever the Society needed money it could appeal to its members who would subscribe whatever amount was required. Office bearers were appointed as follows:—Patrons: Hon. Mr. Lau Chu-pak and Hon. Mr. Ho Fook: Chairman: Mr. Wing-kwong; Vice-Chairman: Mr. Kwok Shiu-lau: Hon. Treasurer: Mr. Simon Tse Yan and Hon. Secretary: Mr. Wong Kwong-tin. A Committee of thirty was appointed, including the committees of the Po Leung Kuk, Tung Wah Hospital, and the District Watchmen Committee.\n\nMUI TSAI IN HONGKONG. ANOTHER QUESTION IN THE COMMONS.\n\nIn the House of Commons, on July 6th, Lord H. Cavendish-Bentinck asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he could give the names of the Chinese ladies appointed to consider women and girls, especially the mui tsai, matters connected with the protection of in the Colony of Hongkong?\n\nMr. Wood: The information is not in my possession, but I will inquire of the Governor.\n\nTHE SANITARY BOARD.\n\nPREVALENCE OF RABIES.\n\nA meeting of the Sanitary Board was held on August 30th, Mr. G. R. Sayer presiding. There were also present: The Director of Public Works (the Hon. Mr. T. L. Perkins), Mr. C. G. Alabaster, Dr. Graca Ozorio, Mr. Chow Shou-sen, and the Secretary, (Mr. C. M. W. Reynolds).\n\nBeyond business of a routine character, the only item of interest was a discussion concerning the prevalence of rabies, in regard to which the procedure of notification of such cases or suspected cases was dealt with. It was mentioned that a dog recently, suspecting it of rabies, the owner shot his dog through the brain. This made it difficult for the bacteriologist, as it was necessary to an examination for suspected rabies that the brain should be left intact. Dogs suspected of suffering from rabies should be handed over to the Police and killed by shooting through the chest.",

E. Lindsell at the Police Court today. The defendant was arrested at the Star Ferry Wharf at Kowloon yesterday, and on the way to the Water Police Station is said to have at first offered a bribe of $15 and then to have added a similar sum, with the promise of a further sum as a condition for his release. The Indian constable, Alla Bux, took both sums but did not refrain from marching the prisoner to the Station, where a charge of being in possession of $25 worth of opium was preferred against him.\n\nP.C. Alla Bux said that he saw the prisoner with the parcel containing the drug tucked under his arm, and his movements suggested to him that here was a case worth examining into. On being interrogated, the prisoner said that he had something good to eat. The \"something good\" was shown to be two tals of opium when the parcel was opened. To avoid discovery, the prisoner is said to have attempted to divert the attention of the constable by pointing to another man who, he said, also possessed \"something good to eat.\"\n\nMr. Lindsell was of the view that the charge of bribery was one to be committed for trial and he ordered an adjournment for the evidence of the Sergeant Interpreter of the Water Police Station who took down the prisoner's statements when charged.\n\nDEATH OF MR. A.A. DOS REMEDIOS.\n\nOne of the oldest and most respected members of the Portuguese community passed away early this morning, in the person of Mr. Adalino A. dos Remedios. The deceased, who was 74 years of age, had been for no fewer than 41 years in the employ of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co., Ltd. and was very highly esteemed and respected by all his fellow employees. Only three days ago he attended the office as usual, but was obviously unwell, suffering from a chill. He went home and later developed influenza which led to pneumonia. He passed peacefully away this morning, at his home in Caine Road.\n\nThroughout his long association with Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co., the deceased had been a valued servant. For many years he was in charge of the Shipping Office, but for the past three years he served in the Indo-China Book Office. Of a quiet and retiring disposition, the late Mr. Remedios, who possessed a particular charm of manner, will be mourned by all with whom he came into contact.\n\nHe leaves a widow and two children to mourn their loss. His son is Mr. J. S. Remedios, of the Post Office, his daughter being Mrs. J. F. Tavares. The funeral takes place to-morrow afternoon, at 6 o'clock.\n\nSHANGHAI'S MIXED COURT.\n\nWith reference to the Mixed Court at Shanghai, the Sinwanpao contains the following report:-\n\nMembers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs met on Tuesday to discuss the many questions connected with the return to China of the Mixed Court. Two suggestions were offered: (1) To reform the Court; (2) To return it to the Chinese for sole administration. It was decided that members of the Ministry should confer on the matter with the British, American and French Ministries.\n\nCANADIAN POTATOES\n\nFine, Choice, Mealy.\n\nPRICES RIGHT.\n\nTHE DAIRY FARM, ICE & COLD STORAGE CO., LTD.\n\nKOWLOON\n\nTHEATRE\n\nThe only entirely European Cinema in the Far East\n\nJ.

An excellent game resulted in a win for St. Joseph's by 3 goals to 2. In the return match on Thursday afternoon, the Drummers won by the only goal in the match.\n\nThe King's second team played South China \"B\" team in a friendly match last Saturday afternoon on Causeway Bay ground. The King's led by 1 goal to nil at half-time and an excellent goal from their centre forward put them further ahead soon after the change of ends. South China were seen to better advantage after this and managed to level up matters towards the end of the game. Result 2-2.\n\nIn the Company League, the Machine Gun Platoon sustained their first defeat in the competition when they were defeated by \"B\" Coy, the score being 1-0. They still, however, have a good lead in the League table and should win the championship.\n\nOn Wednesday afternoon, \"1\" Coy defeated the Band and Drums 2-1.\n\nA match between the Regimental Team and the Hongkong Police has been arranged for Saturday afternoon, on Murray Parade Ground.

A report from Wuchow states that troops commanded by Lo To and Chang Hoi-yue are moving down to Chunchow and that traffic between Wuchow and other cities in Kwangsi is unsafe.\n\nChan Cheong-po has been ordered by General Chan King-ming to take his force to the West River, as far as Dosing, to maintain order.\n\nThe Provincial Treasurer has decided to form a Finance committee for the improvement of the paper currency. He has invited the leading merchants and gentry to become members, and hopes to have publicly announced the exact number of notes in circulation.\n\nIt is reported that the Gunboat, Control and the Water Police Departments are to be abolished and a new body created to be known as the Sea and River Defence Headquarters, of which Chan Wing-son will be the chief.\n\nRAILWAY OFFICER'S \"FIRST DUTY.\"\n\nTo Attend Court.\n\nIn a case of larceny of two lengths of chain from the Railway Station at Kowloon, it was stated by Inspector C. Aris that Mr. G. Walker, the Traffic Superintendent, who prosecuted in the case, was unable to appear in Court on account of pressure of work. However, if his presence were urgently wanted, he would turn up.\n\nMr. E. W. Hamilton (to Inspector Aris)- Give my compliments to Mr. Walker, and tell him that if he does not appear I will discharge the man. It is his first duty to attend the Court.\n\nThe case was adjourned until to-morrow morning for the attendance of Mr. Walker.\n\nACCIDENT TO CHIEF JUSTICE.\n\nFalls and Breaks Arm in Typhoon.\n\nThe Chief Justice (Sir Wm. Rees-Davies) met with a nasty accident during the typhoon on Wednesday night. He and Mr. H. A. Nesbit went up in the Peak Tram. They were walking together with arms linked, in Cham-bers Road. The wind was very strong. One gust was so sudden that it took the Chief Justice off his feet. He fell on his right side and in so doing broke his right arm.\n\nIt was Sir William's intention to go to Japan to-morrow, but owing to the accident he will probably not be able to make the trip.\n\nEntertain your friends with a VIC TROJA\n\nAsk about our easy payment system.\n\nMOUTRIES:- Exclusive Distributors.\n\nTUESDAY ONLY\n\nCAROLYN THE CORNER\n\nSKIM MILK\n\nWHAT IS IT?\n\nWEDNESDAY & THURSDAY\n\nMARRIED LIFE\n\nMore Big Pictures to follow!\n\nALERT\n\nIt is milk from which most of the fat (cream) has been removed.

It contains all the nourishing elements - the casein, etc., which ordinary milk contains (less the fats only), and is far more easily digested than whole milk because it is not rich in fats. Skim Milk is a low-priced milk, specially suitable for making Puddings and thickening Soups. It also has many other uses.\n\nTRY IT!\n\nYou will soon be ordering it by the gallon.\n\nA plentiful supply always on hand. Skim Milk is loaded with the now famous VITAMINES. Regular milk drinkers seldom suffer from diseases due to lack of Vitamines.\n\nMilk for the kiddies is a builder of bone and muscle.

        "content_text": "3\n\n(4\n\nmui trai lie firmly embedded here; and the \"Anti-Muitsai Society\" merely aims the only way to remove the evil lies in at setting all these unfortunate girls the eradication of the roots through Gov. adrift without any further thought on their welfare. The first step in emancipation is to cancel all documents of sale. ernment action in cancelling these documents of sale and refusing to recognise their validity. The buying and selling of human beings in this British Colony would thereby receive its death-blow, and the mui tsai would be liberated. Instead of proceeding in this direction, opponents of reform talk of devising ways and means to prevent cruelty to the mui tsai, overlooking the fact that they preserve the poison in the system through neglecting the source of the disease. It is common knowledge that, in spite of such protection as is afforded by the Law, the vigilance of Police and the supervision of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, cruelty to mui tsai is still rampant, and, where Constituted Authority has failed to remedy an evil, it is obviously far-fetched to expect success from the propaganda of private citizens and the scrutiny of charitable institutions.\n\nThe girl's purchase price is to be considered as money advanced to her parent, and, for this consideration, the mui tsai will have to remain to work for her owner for a certain number of years to be fixed by a Commission before she regains her freedom. The power of appointing all commissions or individuals to further the work of emancipation will, of course, be exercised by the Government, whose co-operation in founding a temporary industrial home, as in Egypt, has also to be sought. With a little assistance, the unfettered mui tsai can be self-supporting and will eventually be absorbed into the ranks of domestic servants and factory hands. It will also be necessary to form an Employment Bureau to facilitate this absorption. Moreover, protection is efficacious only when it comes from those to whom cruel treatment is meted; and to promote a society of mui tsai owners for the prevention of cruelty without assisting those liable to ill-treatment to liberate themselves may be aptly compared to the formation of a league by cats in the interest of the mouse. The only way to prevent ill-treatment lies in making a clean sweep of the instruments of sale by which one human being is permitted to hold in his hand the destiny of another. It is our strong conviction that reform by persuasion is futile when applied to the mui tsai system.\n\n(V) TENTATIVE PROPOSALS TO EFFECT ABOLITION.\n\nIt is often said that the mui tsai system should be abolished, and it is often asked, \"How is abolition possible without a constructive scheme?\" What is to be done with the liberated mui tsai, and how are we to supervise those who are permitted to remain with their owners form the pivot to which almost all arguments in this burning question finally converge. It is, however, ridiculous to assume that...\n\n(a) The Anti-Muitaai Society\" seeks to assist the public to realise their mistake in continuing the evil practice of keeping mui tsais by means of literature, by holding public meetings and by giving lectures with the object of effecting abolition of the mui tsai system in the British Colony of Hongkong.\n\n(b) The Anti-Muitsai Society\" needs to petition the Hongkong Government:\n\n(1) to legislate, cancelling all documents of sale and refusing them validity irrespective of whether the girl is bought as a mui tsai or as an adopted daughter.\" It is necessary to point out, that, although the buying and selling of human beings is technically illegal in Hongkong, the law is a dead letter and the official recognition of documents such as \"presentation cards,\" etc., leaves a loophole for the traffic to flourish. Unless cancellation of such documents is enforced, girl-slavery cannot be said to be extinct in this British Colony.\n\n(2) to legislate, requiring compulsory registration of all mui tsais and \"adopted daughters.\" The distinction between a mui tsai and an \"adopted daughter\" is great and should be observed. In genuine cases of adoption, the girl should be permitted to remain with the adopted parent under certain guarantees as to education and treatment. With the cancellation of the document of sale, the mui tsai ceases to be such and it should be incumbent upon the owner to inform every member of his or her household that the former will no longer be known as mui tsai but as \"yung nui\" i.e. servant girl. The servant girl will then remain to work with her owner for a certain number of years, to be fixed by a Commission so that the owner may be compensated by service for the outlay in buying the girl. At eighteen years of age, the servant girl regains her liberty. Should the period of service fixed by the Commission expire before that age limit is attained, she may elect to remain with her owner at a monthly wage or seek the assistance of the Employment Bureau for a change. Until she regains her liberty, the servant girl will be under the supervision of inspectors, preferably of the gentle sex, having a knowledge of colloquial Cantonese.\n\n(3) to provide a building for ten years as an industrial home in which the inmates will be taught work of a vocational nature, washing and cooking included. Admission into this home is to be open to servant girls of tender years whose owners may find it troublesome to keep or difficult to manage them and to those who are temporarily out of employment. In the management of this refuge, the assistance of a missionary body should be invoked. A thorough subscription campaign amongst all members of the community, coupled with an annual subsidy from the Hongkong Government, should remove the difficulty of finance.\n\nCONCLUSION.\n\nIn conclusion, it is imperative to point out that the pernicious mui tsai system, into which the plea of necessity does not really enter, is doomed to elimination in this outpost of Western civilization and at the present stage of social development. It is the duty of a civilized community to raise its fellow citizens out of a state of degradation and oppression. When those who have a claim to sympathy happen to be helpless little girls of tender years living amongst strangers and in what, to them, is often a strange country, no denial of succour is possible without outraging our feelings of humanity. It is against a Briton's sense of right that children living under the British flag should be treated merely as goods and chattels. Finally, it is, therefore, fervently hoped that the charitable public will support this Society in its effort to assist thousands of subjugated girls to obtain a glimpse of the light of day and in removing a blot from the administration of Hongkong-one of the bright jewels in the British Crown.\n\nMrs. MA YING PIU\n\nC.

Stubbs that he was protecting the Chinese against the \"campaign\" of an English lady.\n\nIn the interests of justice will Mr Chamberlain call for the first letter on this subject, addressed by Sir R.

        "content_text": "And so it is really deplorable, that the financial crisis of our country makes it impossible to work with such energy as would be desirable and properly speaking necessary.\n\nIn the meantime we can only hope for better times, and prepare for them.\n\nSo, I think, that in our country, when our Society: Red Cross, or Red Star, will have grown on account of native membership, this Society could organize propaganda-campaigns by means of a cinema-auto, as Singapore and some States of America are said to have done, showing moving pictures, while a propagandist could deliver a lecture in the national language, as simple as possible, with reference to the picture, and could sell books on the same subject.\n\nFor our Javanese I have already proposed to the Government, with the co-operation of the Javanese Princes, to make a film of a performance by the princely actors of \"a wayang wong\", which shows a \"lakon\", a stage-play, in which the old Javanese legends are told, but in which also three, seemingly comical personages act, who can speak upon every subject they like, and thus could spread better hygienic ideas among the people, which is very fond of these performances, and as we would photograph the best company, which exists in Java, we would also encourage the old national arts.\n\nWe are intending also to photograph a performance by the \"wayang kulit\", the Javanese shadow-play, wherein the \"dalang\", the narrator, who also works the figures, can give his hygienical teachings to his countrymen, which teachings we will project as text, while during the show, we shall make the \"gamelang\", the native orchestra, play. Of course our Society can take over this plan, when its financial circumstances are perhaps relatively better than those of the Government, of which I cannot judge, and the Government will in this case undoubtedly lend its officials and its apparatus gratuitously. In this manner the propaganda will become very beloved in the Javanese country, and so we will have the best results.\n\nMoreover, I repeat once more, one of the most difficult things we have to cope with, is, that the population and the Government as also our Society are not of the same race nor of the same religion, and thus often a silent, subconscious opposition is raised, even by acts meant for the best, as if they know the Virgilian verse:\n\n\"Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes\"\n\nand, alas, in times of old, it was often not without reason, so that we now suffer for it, but in the way I have just suggested, I think that distrust will not be raised.\n\nIt may be, that my suggestion will also be useful to the delegates of other countries, where a similar difference between the Government and the population exists, and therefore I have given many details, which were not at all pleasant for me to tell, and I hope, that my colleagues also will give full information, that I may learn, how they have overcome the same or similar difficulties.\n\nThen it seems to me of the utmost importance, that already in the primary schools the children learn the principles of hygiene, very simply in the beginning, but more advanced and profound as the children grow older. So I have seen it in the Philippines, it being the American educational system. But one thing, I think, will be of the greatest importance for the future of manhood especially in the tropics, I mean the sex-education. But it seems to me, that we can learn many things in regard to these problems, from the native population, which looks upon sexuality in a more natural way and with less prejudice, even upon sexual anomalies, than we do.\n\nAs a beautiful example of what I mean, I will give you a specimen of Javanese poetry, a verse, written in Dutch by a Prince of the House of PAKOE ALAM in Djokjakarta, Raden Mas NOTO SOEROTO, in his \"Melati-knoppen\" (\"Buds of Melati\").\n\nIt is dedicated to his sister:\n\n\"Why I call you my darling-sister?\n\nWithout knowing I have prophesied to mother That her prayer would be granted in my whispering desire.\n\nPage 49",

M. Marcel Olivier Bérubé, the French prisoner, still wearing the ribbon of the Croix de Guerre in his buttonhole, awarded for his exploits in the 113 Flight Escadrille in the French Army, arrived late this afternoon, from the bandit camp at the foot of Paotzeku, on a \"leave of absence\" of 24 hours. He gave a graphic account of the trials and sufferings of his companions at the hands of the bandit hordes during the past ten days.\n\nMrs. Verea arrived exhausted and soaked with rain. She says: \"It is all a nightmare too terrible for words. They took me away from my husband at first but when I begged to remain with him, they allowed me to do so. His hair gone white and he was on the verge of a collapse. We were separated from the others after the first night, then forced to march day after day, sometimes all night. The first three nights we were huddled with the bandits and slept on a dirty floor, infested with vermin, but hardly asleep when we were ordered on. They pushed and kicked us to make us go fast. I was clothed only in stockings and a heavy coat over my nightdress, with only the bandits' slippers.\n\nFOREIGNERS' COURAGE SPLENDID.\n\nOn the second day a Chinese ahead of us slipped and fell over the cliff. In the hill camp we were alone but never had privacy. The bandits caroused, drank and smoked opium.\n\nThe first week we were fed twice daily but were too afraid to eat. Then when the food from the Rescue Mission came it was like food from Heaven. The courage of the foreigners was splendid. They tried to make light of the most perilous times and smile.\n\nI came to tell you all that the troops have not withdrawn as had been promised, and as a result, the bandit chiefs are threatening serious reprisals. During the past two days we marched day and night, and have only rested for very brief intervals. The bandits are desperate, especially when we are on the march, and if we do not walk fast enough we are prodded either with the rifle butt or bayonet. Even now many of the men are without shoes, while others have their feet so swollen that marching is torture.\n\nDuring the past three days we have covered about 30 miles and are encamped within the walls of an ancient Taoist temple, which is situated at the base of Paotzekou but at an elevation of about 800 ft. above sea level. On the mountain across the valley may be seen large numbers of troops continually on guard, and the bandit chieftain told me before leaving this morning, that the soldiers out-number the bandits about ten to one, and as a result the bandits are about at the end of their patience.\n\nTHE BANDITS WOULD SHOOT.\n\nI asked Mr. Bérubé to tell me how he knew that the bandits were desperate and he replied that he was sure that the bandits would not hesitate a moment before shooting any of the foreigners.\n\nOn Wednesday last five of the Chinese captives were lined up and shot, merely because they refused to obey the bandits' commands quickly enough, when the order was given to move on, and, it was said afterwards, attempted to offer resistance.\n\nMr. Bérubé then described the state of the individual captives. He stated that Mrs. Verea had borne up remarkably well under the continued marches, and had remained continually at her husband's side despite several offers of release. She now wears foreign clothes and appears in good spirits.\n\nMajor Pinger, U.S.A. has been elected senior commanding officer. He is wearing a pair of Mr. Musso's trousers which are several sizes too large for him.\n\nMr. Bérubé stated that Mr. W. Smith, of Manchester, who is 63 years of age had a narrow escape from death on Sunday, when he nearly slipped over a narrow path which spanned a deep chasm. He is clothed in flannel pyjamas, and wears a large straw hat and carries continually a broken walking stick.\n\nMR. MUSSO SUFFERING.\n\nMr. Musso is suffering more than any of the others and has to be moved in a sedan chair. During the march he fainted twice and was revived with difficulty. His left leg has been paralysed owing to a severe fall last Monday, when he lost his eye glasses.\n\nThanks to the ministrations of Dr. Martens, Mr. Musso has recovered much of his strength but still is regarded as being in a serious condition.\n\nThey were terribly angry and threatened reprisals if the firing continued. After the parleys with the Government agents the bandit chiefs were furious. They ordered the Americans to the summit of Paotzekou and ordered the others to follow today. Then the foreigners urged my husband to make me return and gave me great cheers as we said goodbye. But I am desolate. Please ask all foreigners in China to insist on the release of their comrades in Paotzekou before it is too late.'\n\nMrs. Verea is dainty and charming, an aristocrat. Her emotion is too deep for tears.\n\nBANDIT CHIEF AS REFORMER.\n\nA Special Chinese Correspondent, who has been to the scene of the bandit outrage for the North-China Daily News sent the following telegram to his office in Peking:\n\nPEKING, May 19th. I have interviewed the bandit leader, Sun Mei-yao, who says that the action taken by the bandits is honest and honourable with the wish to better the country's condition. He says that the bandits will hold their prisoners until the Government shall abolish the Tuchunships, disband superfluous troops, adjust the country's finances, declare a condition of internal peace, and issue a future programme with regard to troops.\n\nThe bandits, he says, demand that they shall not be interfered with by the regular army, and freedom of action for the betterment of China. They do not want enrolment in the regular army, and are willing to surrender their prisoners if the Government will accept these terms; otherwise, they will continue to hold the prisoners captive.\n\nThe bandits state that the country's future must be protected if they are to live and China to stand. Among the bandits are many prominent Chinese, including a number of returned students from America.\n\nThe Premier, Chang Shou-tseng, states that there are only 1,200 tufei, but the leader whom I interviewed says that there are no fewer than 3,000. The Premier is optimistic as to an early settlement of the matter and thinks that Wu Yu-lin, the Minister of Communications, should offer himself as a hostage. He states that in order to protect the foreigners, the troops have been ordered not to fight and the aviators not to drop bombs. However, the bandits are surrounded on a plateau.\n\nMr. Bérubé said that Messrs. Powell, Rowlatt and himself were in the best of health and that they had suffered but comparatively little from swollen feet.\n\nThe Premier says that Dr. Wellington Koo will immediately assume office, but Dr. Koo refuses to accept the post until Parliament confirms the appointment. Dr. Koo realizes the importance and gravity of the situation, but has seen too many of his predecessors fail, and therefore will not assume office until his appointment is confirmed.\n\nPlans are seriously being considered to send General Feng Yu-hsiang's Christian troops to fight the bandits and drive them away or suppress them altogether, as was done by Feng's troops in Honan last year. Chang Hsueh-liang, the son of Chang Tsu-lin, is reported to have offered to take troops personally to fight the bandits. Chang is a man of courage, firmness and determination and, although only 23 years of age, has taken part in several wars, not to mention many fights with bandits. He is probably the most promising leader in the North at the present time. The people in the North love him and swear by him.\n\nThe present camp is situated in three pagodas of a Taoist temple, but all the pagodas, though at a small distance from each other, are intercommunicating and the captives are allowed to pass freely from one enclosure to another. Major Allen commands one group and Mr. Young J.B. Powell another. The life is in a sense pseudo-military in character, and the captives are forced to eat and sleep with their own group. They are divided as follows:\n\nPagoda No. 1: Major Pinger, Solomon, Bérubé, Rowlatt, Chang (Interpreter).\n\nPagoda No. 2: Mr. Powell, Friedman, Henly, Musso, 2 Chinese.\n\nPagoda No. 3: Major Allen, Genshurger, Saphier, Elias, Mr. and Mrs. Verea.\n\nMr. Bérubé is leaving about noon tomorrow to return to camp before sundown, when his parole will elapse. He appears in vigorous health and little the worse for his experience, stating that long service in the trenches during 1914-15 fitted him for anything.\n\nMRS. VEREA'S EXPERIENCES.\n\nThe President's Office is angry with the North-China Daily Mail and refuses to make any comment on its statement. The President is accused here of lack of interest and action in connexion with the outrage at Lincheng.\n\nFIEUZAL GLASSES.\n\nOut of doors there is nothing so restful and comfortable for the eyes as the light reflected from green fields and trees, the absorption of the ultra-violet and orange rays by the chlorophyll of the leaves. Hence the introduction of Fieuzal Glass, yellowish green in colour, which is produced in several shades, and lenses made of this may be worn as a protection by over-sensitive eyes where it is desirable to tone down excessive light and glare. Fieuzal lenses of any prescription, either regular or Toric forms are manufactured by the Hongkong Optical Co., successors to Clark & Co., Manufacturing and Refracting Opticians, Queen's Road Central.—ADVT.\n\nPage 160",

The proposal in paragraph 105, if adopted, would in no way delay the demolition and reconstruction of houses which are so old or dilapidated as to require reconstruction. \n\n107. The housing of employees, already dealt with under Branch I, paragraph 27, will also tend to diminish rents, not merely by providing more houses but also by diminishing the number of people who are at present obliged to compete for houses to live in. \n\n108. There is now only one aspect of the problem left to be dealt with by us. It is the question of how best to protect the various classes of the community from being, as they have been in the past, forced out of certain parts of the Colony, in which they have for years been residing, by economic pressure from outside. \n\n109. It is the opinion of the Chairman and Mr. Bailey that the only means of attaining the desired result is the creation of reservations for all sections of the community; and the views and recommendations contained in the following paragraphs relative to the subject are their views and recommendations. Mr. Kotewall, recognising that the question is not one of racial discrimination, and that, like the British residents, the Chinese and Portuguese permanent residents of the middle and working classes have suffered severely from the economic pressure caused by periodic influxes from the neighbouring Provinces, agrees to the principle of Reservations for British residents and for those Chinese permanent residents and residents of other races, who desire such Reservations. \n\nMr. Kotewall, however, considers that the area comprising the Kowloon foothills together with the hills behind as marked green in Enclosure 7, which is recommended in para. 121 for a European reservation, is far too large for the purpose. In para 118 the Government is already asked to reserve for the same purpose \"the whole of the foothills surrounding and forming part of King's Park on the West, North and East side, and also the hilly area immediately adjoining such foothills;\" and it is believed that fully 100 houses, with garden space around them, could be erected on this amphitheatre. Even if the eastern side of the area were required for Military Officers' quarters (vide para. 120), the remaining portion thereof would still seem to be sufficient to accommodate nearly all the British residents who have recently been or will soon be dislodged from their houses. Those who cannot be accommodated in this area could then go to the Kowloon foothills. But the area of the latter which is recommended to be reserved for the purpose is, to Mr. Kotewall's mind, unnecessarily large—larger, it appears from the map, than the whole of the developed portion of the Kowloon Peninsula which has taken about 80 years to reach its present size and prosperity. The total British population of the Colony, according to the Census taken in April, 1921, is about 8,000, the majority of whom are already fairly well housed in different parts of the Colony; and judging by the rate at which that population has grown during the last two decades, it seems unlikely that in the next two decades or so it would increase greatly out of proportion to the past rate, or to such a number as would actually need the enormous area proposed to be reserved for them. Apart from other considerations, it is economically unsound to detach a vast area of good building land from a locality which is rapidly developing, and to set it aside in order to meet the needs of a section of the community who requires Mr. Kotewall only a very small portion of it for a long time to come. \n\nis therefore of the opinion that only such an area in that locality as will adequately meet the present needs of the British residents, should be reserved for them, with a reasonable margin of land allowed for recreation grounds and for future expansion. \n\n110. The question of the setting aside of reservations for different sections of the community has received the most anxious consideration of the Commissioners; and they are of opinion, after carefully studying the very special circumstances prevailing in this Colony, including its proximity to the teeming populations of the adjacent disturbed provinces, who in times of disorder in China flock down to Hongkong in tens of thousands, that it is the bounden duty of the Government to make reservations, by means of demarcations of areas and special conditions of sale, in such areas for (a) British residents, and (b) permanent residents of other races respectively. (See also paragraphs 123 and 124). \n\n111. As regards the British residents in the Kowloon Peninsula, the need for measures being urgently taken by the Government is manifest. The Southern portion of the Peninsula, which up to about 10 years ago was happily free from the attentions of the land speculator, has lately been passing through a severe land boom which, unfortunately for the general body of tenants, who in the long run are the sufferers, still continues. The result of this boom has been that the properties in what is the centre of the district mainly inhabited by Europeans, have in the course of the last two years soared from about 2 dollars to over 7 dollars a square foot on sale prices; and at Yaumati to an even greater height. \n\n112. This boom price of land in Kowloon forms a sharp contrast to the Hill Districts on the Island of Hongkong where land is being put up to auction by the Government at 12 cents a square foot, and where it is the custom for the applicant for the land not to be bid against, a custom which we recommend the Government to convert into a fixed and immutable fact by selling land in future in the Hill District to the first applicant without any auction whatever, because he has in most cases been to some trouble and expense in selecting the site). \n\n113. The recent huge sale prices of land at Tsimshatsui where British residents have been accustomed to live for years past, and at Yaumati where Chinese residents of the middle and working classes make their homes, must be regarded as a positive disaster to the tenants; and this situation calls for immediate and drastic action on the part of the Government, in order to protect permanent residents who, surely, have the right in a British Colony to expect decent housing accommodation at a rent which bears some reasonable proportion to their incomes, and to be protected from the economic and other consequences caused by the influx into the Colony of tens of thousands of Chinese from the mainland. \n\n114. The question of the necessity of making European reservations has been pressed upon the Government by leading articles in all the four British newspapers in this Colony, and also in the speech of the Vice-Chairman at the last Annual General Meeting of the Kowloon Residents' Association (see Enclosure 6 containing printed extracts from those articles and that speech); and it has been shown that the question is not a racial question. It is primarily an economic question, but it is also one involving the health and reasonable comfort of Europeans living in a climate which is hot and trying in the summer. \n\n115. European Reservations are also advocated in letters (38), (40) and (42) in Enclosure 1. \n\nA side argument in favour of European Reservations is that, in times of strike or other internal commotions, an aggregation of British residents in one district renders it easier for them to take common action for the defence of the whole community against disorders. \n\n116. We feel that such reservations are more especially necessary in Kowloon on economic grounds, having regard to the fact that the British residents in the Peninsula are, generally speaking, less wealthy and consequently less able to pay a high rent than those who live in the Hill District. \n\n117. The position of affairs as regards housing accommodation for British residents at Kowloon is one of great gravity, because wealthy Chinese have bought up, during the last few months, at high prices, several rows of buildings, situate in the District between Nathan Road on the West and Chatham \n\nPage 368\n\n...\n\n...\n\n...",

You asked whether we had left any organised body that could carry on the work begun by the Commission. We had taken steps to form a Hong Kong Council for Combating Venereal Disease on which the Bishop of Hong Kong, the Assistant Harbour Master, the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the representative of the Y.M.C.A., Miss Pitts, Head of the Seamen's Institute, the Catholic Bishop of Hong Kong, the Chairman of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, Dr.Hickling, a British woman doctor, and various others had consented to serve as members of such a voluntary organisation, and had all been called together for the purpose of forming themselves into a properly constituted body the day before the Commission left. In the morning of that day we had had our interview with the Governor.\n\nIn this interview Sir Reginald Stubbs expressed a wish that no voluntary organisation should be formed but on the other hand he would appoint a small official committee consisting of the Colonial Secretary, the Principal Civil Medical Officer and the Director of Education to take charge of propaganda material and to deal with the whole problem and that any voluntary organisation wishing to organise propaganda would receive cooperation and assistance from this body.\n\nWe have not heard whether this organisation has been appointed but we do know that no additional supplies of propaganda material...",

Ormsby-Gore, M.P.,  \nParliamentary Secretary to the Colonies,  \nColonial Office,  \nDowning Street, S.W.1.\n\nDear Mr. Ormsby-Gore,\n\nIn reply to your letter of the 20th October, I have now had an opportunity of reporting to a special sub-committee of our Imperial and International Questions Committee on the special points arising out of the Report from the Government of Hong Kong relative to venereal disease in the Colony.\n\n1. My Committee highly appreciate the material advance that has been made by the insistence on the part of the local medical profession and the Committee of the Council that it is desirable to provide for the free diagnosis and treatment of venereal diseases, and they trust that the additional facilities recommended by the Committee will be carried into effect with as little delay as possible.\n\n2. They would especially urge that the disinfection depots and facilities for treatment for members of the Mercantile Marine should be made available at the earliest convenient moment. Such facilities are already available at Shanghai, Singapore, and Colombo, and it is felt that there is a serious lack so long as Hong Kong is not equally well equipped.\n\n3. We would be very glad if the attention of the Committee could be called to the fact that the figures quoted in the Bradford Report (page 4) are not accepted as accurate; that an enquiry into the incidence of syphilis in infants has recently been carried out by Dr. Eardley Holland, under the aegis of the Ministry of Health (\"Report on the causation of Foetal Deaths\" published by the Ministry of Health, 1922), where the incidence of syphilis in 300 cases of foetal deaths amounted to 14%.",

Unfortunately, the telephone message I received from your Secretary the day the Committee met was to the effect that the Report must be regarded as strictly confidential. I did not, therefore, feel at liberty to do as you have now kindly suggested I might, that is, to put the special points arising out of it to the members of the Committee.\n\nI am, therefore, arranging to secure the presence of the Chairman and the two members of the Committee who would be most useful for this particular purpose, to meet here and go through these special points. After we have had this consultation, I will forward our comments to you. Under the circumstances, I will delay despatching you the personal letter I had prepared until after this meeting.\n\nI have received a very interesting letter from the Bishop of Hong Kong and understand from him that Sir Claude Severn is still over here and also that the new Medical Officer has been appointed but has not yet arrived at Hong Kong. If he is still in England, it might be rather helpful for us to meet him before he takes up his appointment.\n\nWith very many thanks for your help,\n\nYours very truly,\nBrusselle Kolls  \nGeneral Secretary.",

        "content_text": "## Enclosure 2.\n\nExtract from Hongkong Daily Press dated 1.8.24.\n\n**LIBELS ON THE COLONY RESENTED**\n\nThe Hon. Mr. HOLYOAK, in accordance with notice previously given, moved the following resolution:-\n\nThat the following resolution be forwarded to the Secretary of State :-\n\nThat having regard to the announcement by the Press that an Advisory Body has been appointed by the Secretary of State for the Colonies to advise and enquire into the Maisons tolérées and Social Hygiene in Hongkong amongst other places, the Unofficial Members of this Council welcome any enquiry which has the object of improving the conditions of life in and upholding the good name of the British Empire and Colonial Possessions, but resent the fact that the inclusion of Hongkong in this enquiry should have resulted from malicious, misleading and exaggerated representations to the Government which have been widely circulated in England for some time past.\n\nThe Hon. Member said: I rise, Sir, to propose the resolution standing in my name. I need scarcely say, Sir, that it is distasteful to me to go into detail on this subject, nor is it necessary to do so. For months past, Sir, a tissue of libels, which I personally can only describe as malicious, and perhaps inspired, have been circulated at Home in connection with this Colony, both as regards the Mui Tsai system and what is called the \"Social Evil Conditions,\" the bulk of which, I do not hesitate to state, are not borne out by the facts as we know them. That there has been growing public indignation here at these libels has been evidenced in the Press and it would certainly have found voice in public meetings if the present opportunity had not occurred. There is evidence of the misinterpretation of facts even by those who were supposed to know. I would recall to Your Excellency's mind and to the minds of hon. members of this Council that some two years ago we had a visitation from a Commission inquiring into vice in the Eastern ports and a statement was published in one of the most prominent medical journals over the name of Mrs. Neville Rolfe, a member of that Commission, who spent some time inquiring into conditions here, containing assertions which were so definitely considered not only a gross misrepresentation of the facts, but libellous in its references to the state of disease in this Colony that a well-known private medical practitioner here took upon himself personally to contradict the statements, with the result that Mrs. Neville Rolfe was moved to retract the statement. These and many other such statements have led to the incorporation of Hongkong into the appointment of an Advisory Body to inquire into the **maisons tolérés** and social hygiene of Hongkong and other places. I submit that it could be fairly recognised that this is totally unnecessary, so far as Hongkong is concerned at any rate. In the second place, I think I express the unanimous opinion of hon. members when we resent interference in what we consider to be the internal affairs of the Colony of Hongkong. The Government might with no greater reason have desired to appoint a Committee to advise upon the hospital system of Hongkong and we, with equal impropriety, might demand enquiry into the conditions of vice existing at Home. As an old resident of many years standing and as one who has stood outside the Government and occasionally criticised it, I can say that the system of registration here is a system not to protect vice, but to protect women and children from vice. Finally, so much has been said and circulated at Home which has been misrepresentation of the truth, possibly having some little substratum of truth, that we would urge that the Home Government, so far as Hongkong is concerned, at any rate, should appoint to the Advisory Body some resident of long standing in Hongkong familiar with the facts, life and conditions here, and therefore calculated to give sound advice thereon. I cannot too strongly express the extreme resentment of this Colony that its name should have been fouled, unjustly fouled, by the statements which have been made concerning it.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. H. W. BIRD: I wish to fully endorse the remarks that have fallen from the senior unofficial member. It would seem that no matter how irresponsible they may be, he or she has only to say something derogatory to Hongkong, and notice is promptly taken of such things without any attempt to find out whether the statements are true or not. I strongly support the suggestion of my colleague that this Colony should be represented on this advisory body by someone who has close knowledge of the facts that exist here, so that in the event of statements being made regarding local conditions that are incorrect they could be promptly contradicted. With these remarks, I beg to support the resolution.\n\nHon. Mr. KOTEWALL: Sir, I support the resolution, though I should have been glad to see the word \"malicious\" omitted, for I am inclined to the belief that the action of those whose activities have brought this Colony so unpleasantly and unfairly into the limelight has been actuated by excessive zeal for their cause rather than by any unworthy motive. I wish, however, to associate myself in this public protest against such action which has undoubtedly tended to create a false impression of conditions in Hongkong.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. CHAU SI KI: I agree with the remarks made by my hon. friend Mr. Kotewall.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. C. G. ALABASTER, rising to support this resolution, would like to draw the attention of the Council to the fact that during the last five years or so the Secretaries and the Under-Secretaries of State have been called to answer questions relating to...",

CHAU SIU-KI-I agree with the remarks made by my hon. friend Mr. Kotewall.\n\n## 12\n\nHON. MR. C. G. ALABASTER-In rising to support this resolution, I would like to draw the attention of the Council to the fact that during the last five years or so the Secretaries and the Under-Secretaries of State have been called upon to answer questions relating to Hongkong underlying which there has been an innuendo or slur on the good name of the Colony. These questions, we cannot believe, are asked maliciously by the honourable members who ask them. We are forced therefore to believe that these questioners are mere marionettes dancing vigorously though unconsciously to the wire-pulling of Empire breakers at Home and abroad. It is time that the resentment against these charges should find expression. The resentment is not confined to unofficial members; it is a resentment which pervades the whole community, and is shared by officials as well. We also would like to see that those who advise the Secretary of State on this and other important questions have an intimate and actual knowledge of the place on which they are advising. Otherwise, there is a grave danger that they will be talking through their hats. We would like to see some official or unofficial who has retired from the Colony and knows it well, on this advisory body. We are not afraid of the results of any enquiry that may be made into the social life here, because we believe that Hongkong is a clean city, socially and morally. It is a town of over a million inhabitants, one of the largest ports in the world, a garrison town, a naval station and the abiding place-temporarily or permanently-of people of all sorts and conditions and of every race and tongue; nevertheless, we are prepared to say that morally it can stand in favourable comparison with any town of its size in the five continents or the seven seas. I therefore beg to add my support to this resolution.\n\nH.E. THE GOVERNOR-This motion being the expression of the views of the Unofficial Members, it would be out of place and out of order for Official Members to express an opinion on any point except as to whether it should be forwarded to the Secretary of State, and the votes of Official Members are confined entirely to that question.\n\nThe motion was agreed to.\n\n## The Piers Ordinance\n\n45\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the first reading of a Bill entitled an Ordinance to amend the Piers Ordinance 1899. That ordinance, he said, gives the Governor in Council power to revise the schedule of pier rents contained in the ordinance, but owing to the wording of the section that gives that power no such revision can take place before 1950 unless it takes place before the end of this year. We do not wish to revise the rents at present, but we may have to do so later, and the object of this Bill is to preserve the right to revise the rents and to keep it alive up to the end of the year 1949. Power is not taken to make more than one revision before the year 1950 because the policy of the original ordinance was that any revision made before 1925 was to remain in force up to the end of the year 1949.\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the first reading of the Bill was agreed to.\n\n## Supplementary Appropriation\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY--Your Excellency, I beg to move the first reading of a Bill intituled an Ordinance to authorise the appropriation of a supplementary sum of $2,038,038 and 3 cents to defray the charges for 1923. Hon. Members will observe that the bulk of the sum required comes under the heads of Miscellaneous Services and Public Works Recurrent. Under Miscellaneous Services unforeseen expenditure included the balance of the Government donation to the University with interest which was $176,000 over the amount voted, $85,000 as compensation in respect of the Yaumati Ferry Service, $200,000 for the War Memorial Nursing Home, $250,000 for the British Empire Exhibition, nearly $200,000 for loss on subsidiary coins, and a donation of $250,000 to the Japanese Earthquake Hongkong Relief Fund. The large sum required under Public Works Recurrent is almost entirely due to the heavy expenditure on Typhoon and Rainstorm damage owing to the typhoon on the 18th August and the phenomenal rainfall at the end of October. I am afraid several large sums remain to be expended this year on account of this typhoon and rainfall. I beg to move the first reading.\n\nTHE COLONIAL TREASURER seconded, and the Bill was read a first time.",

It is only too easy to frighten a native community, and to progress backwards; it must be educated to new ideas very gently, with all the local knowledge and experience available and most especially is this the case in any question that affects the women and children.\n\nIt should be added that the Chinese Public Dispensaries is a Chinese Institution, financed by voluntary contributions (except for a Government grant of $2,000 a year) and managed by an active Committee of prominent Chinese under the Chairmanship of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs. The idea has always been carefully fostered among the Chinese that it is \"our own place run by our own people to whom we can always readily appeal or complain\" and with an absolute minimum of government interference.\n\n2. \n\nThe effect of this careful policy has lately been shown in the new steps it has been found possible to take. Room was found in one of the Dispensaries for a Maternity Hospital under the same management, except that Mrs. Hickling (a lady doctor with full British qualifications and a knowledge of Chinese: ex Church Missionary Society) was put in supervising charge by the Government direct.

I enclose a copy of his letter herewith. He has also sent me a copy of the Report. As you see, he says that the evidence is being kept as confidential out there, but the Report is apparently in circulation. I conclude, under the circumstances, that the Colonial Office can take no exception to my showing the Report to the members of our Committee.\n\nI should also like to send you a copy of the Memorandum which has been circulated to the members of the deputation that are waiting on Mr. Thomas tomorrow. You will see the lines along which it is proposed to go, and I also enclose a draft of the Memorandum on the Relationship between Venereal Disease and Regulation.\n\nI think it would be really helpful to the Colonial Civil Servants if a Memorandum on somewhat similar lines could be circulated for their information. This also we shall raise at the deputation tomorrow.\n\nYours sincerely,\nC. Neville Rolfe\nGeneral Secretary.",

        "content_text": "# \n\nDear Mrs. Neville Rolfe,\n\nI had your letter of January 8th addressed to me in Ceylon forwarded here and received a few days' ago, and I am now in a position to give you information on the points you ask about, both in Ceylon and here.\n\nFirst of all as to Ceylon.\n\nWomen are prevented access to vessels in Port, and this is done by the Board of Emigration and Quarantine, which has an ordinance which makes it compulsory to have a written permit signed on behalf of the Chairman before any person is allowed on board. As far as I can judge this is rigidly carried out. This ordinance I find dates from the War period and was found so useful that it has not been abrogated.\n\nThen as regards the Police. All the members of the Force are treated for Venereal Disease. They are encouraged to take treatment in hospital or otherwise free, and there is no penalisation. I have this direct from the Chief of Police whom I interviewed in Colombo.\n\nIn Colombo, three Venereal Disease Clinics are working: one for men at the General Hospital, one for women at the Women's Hospital, and one in the Port. They are, I hear, using 5000 doses of neo-salvarsan and allied compounds per month for gonorrhoea and syphilis.\n\nI endeavoured to find how the branch of the N.C.C.V.D. was going on. They have translated pamphlets into Tamil and Cingalese, but otherwise I think they are in a state of suspended animation. I have formed an opinion why this is so, but will wait till I come to England and see you before explaining.\n\nSince I have been in the F.M.S., I have done a good deal of work enquiring how things are going on here. I have interviewed the Senior Health Officer and many practitioners and have visited three hospitals. As a result, I do not think at present that the Venereal Disease problem is particularly acute (in the Federated Malay States). Much less so, I should say, than in Ceylon. There is very little doing in the way of a crusade.\n\nHere there is a very different state of affairs. Last week end, I had a special journey to Singapore. Things, I should think, especially among the Straits-born Chinese, are about as bad as they can be. I saw the Senior Health Officer for the Municipality of Singapore and also the Health Officer, and had long interviews with them. I obtained a copy of the Report you ask about and forward it in separate cover.\n\nThe evidence given before the Commission is strictly confidential, but I have been permitted to read it (which I have now done throughout). There is practically a consensus of opinion that registration of all brothels, regular and otherwise, is absolutely necessary under the circumstances.",

        "content_text": "# 144\n\n\"Come up top bridge\". I complied and he ordered me to steer a course for Breaker Point and to keep the ship 80 miles outside Hongkong. At the first signs of the attack I heard a fusilade of shots a little later things seemed to have quietened down but I cannot say what was going on at the other part of the ship.\n\nA quartermaster steered the ship and things became more or less normal and I was allowed to go to my room and eat and sleep when desired, but 2 pirates kept up patrol round my room while the 2 others kept watch at the bridge. The other officers were released and we were allowed to remain on our part of the deck. Things went on like this until noon of the 15th when the pirate leader ordered me to change course and steer for Chilang Point Light and instructed me to inform him when it was sighted.\n\nIt was sighted at 23.45 hours when about 4 armed pirates rushed up to the bridge and appeared to be very excited. The ship was then darkened and I was ordered to steer to Ping Hoi. I steered for Mendoza Island, which place was reached at 04.00 hours on the 16th inst. At this stage a man who appeared to be acting as pilot for the pirates took charge but I was still forced to remain on the bridge. He steered for outside Single Island apparently in error thinking it was Bate Island which is at the entrance to Bias Bay.\n\nWe reached there at 05.00 hours and the ship was headed for Mirs Bay. Dawn was now breaking and the pilot appeared to realise that he had made a mistake and ran down from the bridge and returned with about 20 pirates who seemed to be in a great panic. We were now abreast of Sha Mun being about a mile off. The quartermaster at the wheel told the pirates that I knew how to get the ship clear and I was ordered to take charge. The pirates then went below, except one who remained at my side. He said \"Suppose you not take ship through I kill you and I kill myself\". We were now clear of Sha Mun and were headed into Mirs Bay when I saw a small launch steaming from Sha Mun towards us. By this time the pirates were in a terrible state of panic and 7 or 8 of them rushed back to the bridge.",

        "content_text": "# CABLES.\n\n## LATEST CABLES. [THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.]\n\n### EIGHT-HOUR DAY BILL.\n\n#### RATIFIED BY THE FRENCH CHAMBER.\n\nPARIS, July 9th.\n\nThe Chamber unanimously adopted a Bill ratifying the Washington Eight hour-day Convention. The Bill contains a rider to the effect that the convention will not become effective in France until it has been ratified by Germany.\n\n## FAR EASTERN NEWS.\n\n### CABLE [THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY].\n\n#### UNREST IN THE NORTH.\n\n**THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, JULY 10TH, 1925**\n\n## REVOLUTIONS NOT SUPPRESSED WITH ROSE WATER.\n\nH.E. the Governor reviewed the present position in the Colony at the meeting of the Legislative Council yesterday afternoon, and heartily congratulated the community upon the evidence already given that \"we are not so helpless as our enemies had assumed.”\n\nAt the conclusion of the routine business of the meeting His Excellency said: Before we adjourn I think it would not be out of place for me to say a few words as to the situation with regard to what, for lack of a better phrase, we must call the Strike.\n\nAs I said at the last meeting of this Council, the present movement cannot be called a \"Strike\" in any proper sense of the word since those who have ceased to work have not done so with a view to attaining any definite object.\n\nIt has become increasingly clear that my own way is the right way by process of argument. But it takes two sides to make an argument and if the other side has no reasons to advance to support its point of view the possibility of argument ceases to exist and it is necessary to take other measures.\n\n### UNDESIRABLES.\n\nWe find now that people will not work. They have no reason to advance therefore we cannot discuss the matter. All that we can say is \"Very well, if you don't want to work, don't, but we cannot cumber this small area with idle mouths. If you will not work, you must leave us.\"\n\nThe Government has taken power to remove such idle mouths from the Colony. We have started on a small scale and invited some of those whose presence can most easily be dispensed with to seek other spheres of inactivity, to the number of about 100.\n\nIf necessary this process will be continued and intensified. If it were necessary I should have no hesitation in deporting from this Colony every adult who did not show by working that he was a useful member of the community.\n\nRevolutions, as the proverb says, are not made with rose-water. Neither are they suppressed by it, and this movement amounts to revolution against law and order.\n\nIt would appear from what has happened during the last fortnight that the main reason for the spread of the strike has been the cowardice and folly of the working classes, who allow themselves to be intimidated by the merest shadows of threats.\n\n### COWS CONFISCATED.\n\nShanghai, July 8. The situation continues hopeful. The day has been quiet except for further kidnapping of servants employed by foreigners and the confiscation by strikers of hundreds of cows as well as foodstuffs intended for foreigners' consumption. The tramway services have been curtailed.\n\nLondon, July 8. Commenting on the summaries of the report of the Tripier Mixed Commission, published in France blaming the British Police and the American Chairman of the Municipal Council in connection with the shooting in Shanghai, the **Daily Telegraph** diplomatic correspondent says:- \"The evidently calculated leakage of news should at least have the salutary effect that Britain cannot longer tolerate the comedy of a commission of three under penalty of seeing our prestige destroyed in China as, by not dissimilar methods, it was destroyed in Turkey.\"\n\n### \"MR. CHAMBERLAIN REPLIES.\"\n\nLondon, July 8. In the House of Commons, replying to questions, Mr. Chamberlain stated that he had not received any request from Shanghai that the British Government should forcibly intervene to restore normality in Shanghai.\n\n## HONGKONG STRIKE SITUATION.\n\n### FOOD SUPPLIES FOR EUROPEAN COMMUNITY AMPLE AND EASILY REPLENISHED.\n\nH.E. the Governor during the course of a welcome and reassuring statement made by him on the strike situation at yesterday's meeting of the Legislative Council said: As regards the present aspect of affairs, it is difficult to say anything definite. There are, I think, signs that the strikers are coming to their senses. Many are still going out but many are returning to work and I am not without hope that common-sense will shortly prevail over ignorance and fear.\n\nMeanwhile, we have got to carry on and see this thing through. The prospects are not such as to cause any alarm. Food supplies so far as the European community is concerned, are ample and can easily be replenished.\n\nThe inconvenience is not entirely on one side and I trust that the strikers will shortly find that the game is not worth the candle. We have had to take somewhat drastic measures to deal with the situation. If necessary those measures will become more drastic.\n\n### ATTACK ON LAW AND ORDER.\n\nIn this matter Hongkong stands by itself. An attack has been made upon us, as representing the existing standards of civilization by the agents of disorder and anarchy. No doubt we have been selected for attack because we are supposed to be a small and powerless community, and also because of our propinquity to a district which owing to a long period of war and mis-government has become a fertile soil for the cultivation of all the worst growths of Bolshevism, anarchism and communism.\n\nThe attack is not against this Government as a British Government, nor against foreigners as such. It has not even the excuse of being a nationalist movement. It is aimed against all law and order as may be seen from the fact that the respectable Chinese here are as much the object of attack as the European community.\n\n### SEDITIOUS LITERATURE AND INTIMIDATION.\n\nThe following regulation was made by the Governor-in-Council on Thursday under Section 2 of the **Emergency Regulations Ordinance, 1922**:\n\n1. Every person who-- \n   (1) prints, publishes, circulates distributes or has in his possession any seditious matter as defined in the **Seditious Publications Ordinance, 1914**; or\n   (2) by violence or threats of violence prevents or endeavours to prevent any other person from doing any act which he is legally entitled to do; or\n   (3) commits any offence against the provisions of section 22 of the **Summary Offence Ordinance, 1845**,\n   shall be liable upon summary conviction before a magistrate to \n   (1) imprisonment with hard labour for any term not exceeding two years; and \n   (2) flogging.\n\nBefore Mr. S. B. B. McElderry at the Central Magistracy yesterday, two Chinese were sentenced for having joint possession of a seditious pamphlet.\n\n### SEAMEN'S UNION.\n\nThe men were arrested near the Central Market on Tuesday evening, the seditious leaflet being found in the possession of one of them, who pointed out the other man as being the original owner of it.\n\nHis Worship said that he considered the case against the defendant who originally possessed the document as the more serious of the two. The sentence in his case would be six months' hard labour and he would further be bound over to be of good behaviour for one year on a $200 bond in two sureties.\n\n### CHINESE MERCHANTS' CORPS.\n\nA special Chinese Merchants' Corps is now being organised. It is believed that such a corps will relieve the police of a great deal of normal work.\n\nThe merchants will undertake to police the districts in which their shops are situated, various groups being responsible for specified streets.\n\n### PRESENT ASPECT OF AFFAIRS.\n\nAs regards the present aspect of affairs, it is difficult to say anything definite. There are, I think, signs that the strikers are coming to their senses. Many are still going out but many are returning to work and I am not without hope that common-sense will shortly prevail over ignorance and fear.\n\nMeanwhile, we have got to carry on and see this thing through. The prospects are not such as to cause any alarm. Food supplies so far as the European community is concerned, are ample and can easily be replenished.\n\n### DEALING WITH INTIMIDATORS.\n\nThe other way is this. Will you do your best to explain to your servants and to anyone over whom you have influence that the proper way to deal with an intimidator is to intimidate him? If you send your servant to market and, as often happens, somebody threatens him, make it clear to him that his proper course is to argue the matter out on the spot and that the best argument is a good stout bludgeon.\n\n### HOW TO HELP.\n\nI would, in conclusion, appeal to the community to help the Government in two ways. The first is this: Do not listen to, or believe and not to pass on stories about rumours.\n\nThe city is full of rumours. For instance last week, a man was found dead near the Central Market. It was at once spread abroad that he had been killed by the \"Dare to die\" band.\n\nThe second way is this. The European community has acted as everybody, except perhaps the originators of this trouble, knew that they would act and has shown a resolute will to see the strike successfully broken.\n\n### GENERAL NOTES.\n\nEighteen girls are operating lifts in the Dairy Farm Ice and Cold Storage buildings.\n\nChinese papers contained notice yesterday according to which Chinese posts in certain central districts are not obliged to call at the Post Office for letters as delivery arrangements have been made for their distribution in their districts.\n\nThe **Sai On** will not sail for Canton today.\n\nThe a.s. **Empress of Canada** leaves this morning for Vancouver, via Shanghai, Kobe, Shimidzu and Yokohama.\n\nThe a.s. **Kong Sai** arrived in Hongkong yesterday morning from Canton and brought down 187 Chinese passengers.\n\n### KOWLOON PROSECUTION.\n\nBefore Mr. E. W. Hamilton at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday, Mr. B. Wylie, of No. 7. Torres Building, Kowloon, prosecuted his former house coolie on a charge of having absented himself from his employment on June 24th with out notice.\n\nComplainant stated that defendant left with his other servants on June 24th.\n\nHis Worship said that the paying of servants $3 a day was a matter for the Kowloon Residents Association to deal with.\n\n### RE-UNION AT WEMBLEY.\n\nReference has already been made to the Press luncheon given by Mr. E. R. Hallifax to Press Representatives at the Hongkong Section of Wembley on June 5th.\n\nCommenting upon the function the **China Express and Telegraph** says:- \"What the pressmen did not learn at that informal, though none the less very agreeable, little gathering about the Peak, was that the attack is not against this Government as a British Government, nor against foreigners as such. It has not even the excuse of being a nationalist movement. It is aimed against all law and order as may be seen from the fact that the respectable Chinese here are as much the object of attack as the European community.\"\n\nA typical Chinese meal was served by \"boys\" in blue coats, as in Hongkong, and a Chinese band did its utmost to provide harmony. Beside each plate were chopsticks, and, after a vain attempt to use them on shark's fins, the guests were told they might use forks and knives and pocket the ivories as a souvenir of the occasion.\n\n### SIR FREDERICK LUGARD'S VISIT.\n\nYesterday morning all the men at the Russell Street Garage had left. Hongkong was expecting a visit on June 9th from Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York, and as one of the signs of anti-British feeling were on all sides, says the **China Express and Telegraph**.\n\nThe visit was timed for shortly after 2 p.m., at which hour both Mr. Hallifax, the Commissioner, and Sir Robert Ho Tung, awaited the Royal visitors at the entrance to the Pavilion.\n\nAt 2.30 word came that Hongkong and Ceylon had been cut out, the community was relieved too far on the Royal visitors' route.\n\nThe Dairy Farm Ice and Cold Storage Company are carrying on very well at all depots with their voluntary assistants.\n\n### CAFE WISEMAN.\n\nThe lady volunteers at the **Café Wiseman** are working splendidly.\n\nOn the average 1,000 meals a day were being served at the **Café Wiseman**. The bakery which is now wholly staffed by Europeans turns out 5,000 pounds of bread a day.\n\n### EXPORTING MONEY.\n\nChinese crossing the border are employing a clever ruse in their attempt to export more than $5 from the Colony. Money is distributed amongst children who may be on the train.\n\nAt the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday, a Chinese was charged with exporting money in excess of the sum permitted. Sergeant Hallam stated that he saw the defendant hand $5 to a small child. The $5 which had been given to the child was forfeited.\n\n### DRAINAGE.\n\nThe drainage gratings should be kept entirely free from paper and other rubbish which might choke the drains.\n\nThe city is full of ... \n\nThe European community has acted as everybody, except perhaps the originators of this trouble, knew that they would act and has shown a resolute will to see the strike successfully broken. All these will learn with gratification that if necessary every adult non-worker in the Colony will be deported.",

        "content_text": "# CABLES.\n\n## LATEST CABLES. [THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.]\n\n### EIGHT-HOUR DAY BILL.\n\n#### RATIFIED BY THE FRENCH CHAMBER.\n\nPARIS, July 9th. The Chamber unanimously adopted a Bill ratifying the Washington Eight-hour day Convention. The Bill contains a rider to the effect that the convention will not become effective in France until it has been ratified by Germany.\n\n## FAR EASTERN NEWS.\n\n### CABLE (THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY).\n\n#### UNREST IN THE NORTH, COWS CONFISCATED.\n\nShanghai, July 8. The situation continues hopeful. The day has been quiet except for further kidnapping of servants employed by foreigners and the confiscation by strikers of hundreds of cows as well as foodstuffs intended for foreigners' consumption. The tramway services have been curtailed.\n\n### TRIPIER COMMISSION.\n\n#### THE REVOLUTIONS NOT SUPPRESSED WITH ROSE WATER.\n\n**H.E. THE GOVERNOR'S REVIEW OF THE PRESENT SITUATION, IF NECESSARY ALL ADULT NON-WORKERS WILL BE DEPORTED.**\n\nHONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, JULY 10TH, 1925.\n\nI am, as you know, a man of peace. I admit that I am as fond as most men of getting my own way but I have always preferred to do so by convincing others that my own is the right way by process of argument. But it takes two sides to make an argument and if the other side has no reasons to advance to support its point of view the possibility of argument ceases to exist and it is necessary to take other measures.\n\nH.E. the Governor reviewed the present position in the Colony at the meeting of the Legislative Council yesterday afternoon, and heartily congratulated the community upon the evidence already given that \"we are not so helpless as our enemies had assumed.\"\n\nAt the conclusion of the routine business of the meeting His Excellency said: Before we adjourn I think it would not be out of place for me to say a few words as to the situation with regard to what, for lack of a better phrase, we must call the Strike.\n\nAs I said at the last meeting of this Council, the present movement cannot be called a \"Strike\" in any proper sense of the word since those who have ceased to work have not done so with a view to attaining any definite object.\n\nWe find now that people will not work, they have no reason to advance therefor we cannot discuss the matter. All that we can say is Very well, if you don't want to work, don't, but we cannot clutter this small area with idle mouths. If you will not work, you must leave us.\n\nThe Government has taken power to remove such idle mouths from the Colony, we have started on a small scale and invited some of those whose presence cannot easily be dispensed with to seek other spheres of inactivity, to the number of about 100.\n\nIf necessary this process will be continued and intensified. If it were necessary I should have no hesitation in deporting from this Colony every adult who did not show by working that he was a useful member of the community.\n\nRevolutions, as the proverb says, are not made with rose-water. Neither are they suppressed by it, and this movement amounts to a revolution against law and order.\n\n## HONGKONG STRIKE SITUATION.\n\n### FOOD SUPPLIES FOR EUROPEAN COMMUNITY AMPLE AND EASILY REPLENISHED.\n\n#### SOME MOTOR MECHANICS AND FITTERS COME OUT.\n\nAs regards the present aspect of affairs, it is difficult to say anything definite. There are, I think, signs that the strikers are coming to their senses. Many are still going out but many are returning, to work and I am not without hope that common-sense will shortly prevail over ignorance and fear. Meanwhile, we have got to carry on and see this thing through. The prospects are not such as to cause any alarm.\n\nFood supplies, so far as the European community is concerned, are ample and can easily be replenished.\n\nThe inconvenience is not entirely on one side and I trust that the strikers will shortly find that the game is not worth the candle. We have had to take somewhat drastic measures to deal with the situation. If necessary those measures will become more drastic.\n\nThese words were spoken by H.E. the Governor during the course of a welcome and reassuring statement made by him on the strike situation at yesterday's meeting of the Legislative Council. The whole speech, which is reported in full in our columns today, is precisely what has been wanted by the European community, and other loyal members of the population, who are combining with their everyday occupations a variety of irksome and unaccustomed activities in a spirit of resolute will to see the strike successfully broken. These will learn with gratification that if necessary every adult non-worker in the Colony will be deported.\n\nAn advertisement in our issue today announces that all adult males (other than members of the Government, Naval and Military services and of the medical profession) resident in the Peak district who are not rendering active assistance to Government or the public, are called upon to attend before a Magistrate at the Peak Club at 6 p.m. today to be enrolled as special constables.\n\n### SEDITIOUS LITERATURE AND INTIMIDATION.\n\nThe following regulation was made by the Governor-in-Council on Thursday under Section 2 of the Emergency Regulations Ordinance, 1922:—\n\n1. Every person who---\n   (1) prints, publishes, circulates, distributes or has in his possession any seditious matter as defined in the Seditious Publications Ordinance, 1914; or\n   (2) by violence or threats of violence prevents or endeavours to prevent any other person from doing any act which he is legally entitled to do; or\n   (3) commits any offence against the provisions of section 22 of the Summary Offence Ordinance, 1845, be liable upon summary conviction (1) imprisonment with hard labour for any term not exceeding two years; and (2) flogging.\n\nIt would appear from what has happened during the last fortnight that this movement is nothing else than an attack, organised by agencies outside the Colony, on existing standards of civilization as represented by law and order.\n\nIt is believed that now the pretence that it was a strike to show sympathy with the Chinese who suffered as a result of certain incidents in Shanghai and other parts of China has apparently been dropped.\n\nLondon, July 8. Commenting on the summaries of the strike report of the Tripier Mixed Commission, published in France blaming the British Police and the American Chairman of the Municipal Council in connection with the shooting in Shanghai, the Daily Telegraph diplomatic correspondent says:— \"The evidently calculated leakage of news should at least have the salutary effect that Britain cannot longer tolerate such intimidators, and under a regulation which has been issued to-day they will in future be dealt with in a manner which will be likely to appeal to their best feelings—that is by the cat.\"\n\n### ATTACK ON LAW AND ORDER.\n\nIn this matter Hongkong stands by itself. An attack has been made upon us, as representing the existing standards of civilization by the agents of disorder and anarchy. No doubt we have been selected for attack because we are supposed to be a small and powerless community, and also because of our propinquity to a district which owing to a long period of war and mis-government has become a fertile soil for the cultivation of all the worst growths of Bolshevism, anarchism and communism.\n\nThe attack is directed not against this Government nor against foreigners as such. It has not even the excuse of being a nationalist movement.\n\n### SEAMEN'S UNION.\n\n#### SEDITIOUS PAMPHLET.\n\nBefore Mr. S. B. B. McElderry at the Central Magistracy yesterday, two Chinese were sentenced for having joint possession of a seditious pamphlet.\n\nThe men were arrested near the Central Market on Tuesday evening, the seditious leaflet being found in the possession of one of them, who pointed out the other man as being the original owner of it. This defendant admitted possession of the document and said that he received it from a small boy in the street. He read the characters on it and passed it on to his fellow lodger, and was not aware that he was committing a crime by doing so. The other defendant said that he put the leaflet in his pocket for reading afterwards. He was not aware that it was of an inflammatory nature.\n\nHis Worship said that he considered the case against the defendant who originally possessed the document as the more serious of the two. He had read what the document contained, and knowing its nature, had passed it over to the second defendant. The sentence in his case would be six months' hard labour and he would further be bound over to be of good behaviour for one year on a $200 bond in two sureties. Failure to produce these sureties would entail a further term of a month's hard labour. The other defendant would be fined $10 and also be bound over to be of good behaviour for one year and find similar security.\n\nWhile the influx from Canton into the Colony by way of the West River boats continues, the exodus has not decreased to any appreciable extent.\n\nThe s.s. Kwony Sai arrived in Hongkong yesterday coming from Canton and brought down 467 Chinese passengers, most of whom were women of the amah class. The vessel also brought down a few Europeans, including a number of missionaries.\n\nWhen our representative went on board her he was told that all was quiet in Canton at present, despite the underlying feeling that trouble is imminent in Canton and may break out at any moment in open conflict between the Reds and the anti-Reds.\n\n### MR. CHAMBERLAIN REPLIES.\n\nIn the House of Commons, replying to questions, Mr. Chamberlain stated that he had not received any request from Shanghai that the British Government should forcibly intervene to restore normality in Shanghai.\n\n## RE-UNION AT WEMBLEY.\n\n### \"THE EMPRESS OF CANADA.\"\n\nThe s.s. Empress of Canada leaves this morning for Vancouver, via Shanghai, Kobe, Shimidzu and Yokohama. When the vessel arrived here on Monday all the Chinese crew left the ship, but their places were quickly filled. Large numbers of volunteers offered their services—both Europeans and Chinese—and the vessel was soon fully staffed. Ladies are taking the places of strikers in the first class saloons. Of the crew on strike, not one returned to offer his services.\n\nOn the waterfront yesterday the general topic of conversation was the action which the Chinese Seamen's Union are said to have taken or to be contemplating taking. According to all reports, after one day no seamen will be allowed to man the river boats. To counteract this action, orders were issued yesterday on the arrival of the Kwony Sai for her to proceed to `GR1178/1922/32(III)` without further orders.\n\n## GENERAL NOTES.\n\n### EXPORTING MONEY.\n\nAccording to police reports, Chinese are doing the work are employing a clever ruse in their attempt to export more than $85 from the Colony. Money is distributed amongst children who may be on the train.\n\n### CAFE WISEMAN.\n\nMr. R. L. Bridger, manager-director of the Café Wiseman, told a Daily Press representative yesterday that on the average 1,000 meals a day were being served at the Café Wiseman. The bakery which is now wholly staffed by Europeans turns out 5,000 pounds of bread a day.\n\nThe lady volunteers at the Café are working splendidly.\n\n### HOW TO HELP.\n\nI would, in conclusion, appeal to the community to help the Government in two ways.\n\nThe first is this: Do not listen to, or spread, rumours. For instance last week, a man was found dead near the Central Market. It was at once spread abroad that he had been killed by the \"Dare to die\" band.\n\nThe city is full of rumours. If you hear a story of this sort, do not believe it until you have asked me or the police or the Colonial Secretary's office whether it is true and do not pass it on, whether you believe it or not.\n\nThe other way is this. Will you do your best to explain to your servants and to anyone over whom you have influence that the proper way to deal with an intimidator is to intimidate him? If you send your servant to market and, as often happens, somebody threatens him, make it clear to him that his proper course is to argue the matter out on the spot and that the best argument is a good stout bludgeon. Remind him that he has the law on his side. If the intimidator injures him the cat will redress the balance. If he injures the intimidator, it is the intimidator's fault and he himself will not only be held blameless but, if he hands the man over to the police, will receive a handsome reward.\n\nIf these measures are adopted I am confident that intimidation will quickly cease and we shall all be able to go about our business in peace.\n\n### KOWLOON PROSECUTION.\n\nBefore Mr. W. Hamilton at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday, Mr. B. Wylie, of No. 7, Torres Building, Kowloon, prosecuted his former house coolie on a charge of having absented himself from his employment on June 24th without notice.\n\nComplainant stated that defendant left with his other servants on June 24th, his servants being amongst the first of the Kowloon servants to leave their employment. Defendant was later found working in Knutsford Terrace, where it was understood that emergency servants were being paid $3 a day.\n\nHis Worship said that the paying of servants a day was a matter for the Kowloon Residents Association to deal with. As the complainant still owed the defendant 23 days' pay and as the accused owed one month wages in default of notice, he ordered the accused to pay complainant $3, with one week's imprisonment in default. Defendant was further fined $25 with the alternative of a month's hard labour.\n\n### DRAINAGE.\n\nNow that the road cleaners of the Sanitary Department are on strike, there is one important direction in which householders can assist the authorities and also safeguard their own comfort.\n\nThe drainage gratings should be kept entirely free from paper and other rubbish which might choke the drains.\n\n### MR. E. R. HALLIFAX ENTERTAINS THE PRESS.\n\nReference has already been made to the Press luncheon given by Mr. E. R. Hallifax to Press Representatives at the Hongkong Hotel.\n\nA typical Chinese meal was served by Chinese \"boys\" in blue coats, as in Hongkong, and a Chinese band did its best to maintain \"harmony.\" Beside each plate were chopsticks, and, after a vain attempt to use them on shark's fins, the guests were told they might use forks and knives and pocket the ivories as a souvenir of the occasion.\n\nThe menu included Sam Shi shark's fin, fried pork and bean sprouts, minced chicken and bird's nest soup, orange broth, lychee-syrup, chow chow, coquet, and melon seeds and roast almonds.\n\nSIR FREDERICK LUGARD'S VISIT.\n\nHongkong was expecting a visit on June 9th from their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York, and as one too traversed the Court the signs of anticipation were on all sides, says the China Express and Telegraph. The visit was timed for shortly after 2 p.m., at which hour both Mr. Hallifax, the Commissioner, and Sir Robert Ho Tung, in his rich silk costume, awaited the Royal visitors at the entrance to the Pavilion.\n\nBut at 2.30 word came that Hongkong and Ceylon had been cut out, the visits to the other Courts having encroached too far on the Royal visitors' time. Compensation came for the disappointment in the shape of a visit from Sir Frederick Lugard, a former Governor of Hongkong, who visited every section, and was as much delighted to meet old Hongkong hands as they were to welcome him.\n\n| Service        | Status            |\n| -------------- | ----------------- |\n| Kowloon Ferry  | Still operating   |\n| River Boats    | On strike         |\n| Tramway        | Curtailed services|\n| Laundries      | Some closed       |\n\nThe twenty-minute ferry service is still being run by men of the mercantile marine. Up to yesterday about 150 Chinese had registered as special district watchmen.\n\nA large number of Chinese laundry workers went out on strike yesterday and a number of the laundries closed down.\n\nFitters and mechanics of some motor firms are swelling the ranks of the strikers. Yesterday morning all the men at the Kowloon Resident Association's Russell Street Garage had left.\n\nThe Dairy Farm Ice and Cold Storage Company are carrying on very well at all depots with their voluntary assistants.\n\nAltogether over 200 idle Chinese have now been arrested, and many of these have already been sent out of the Colony.\n\nPage 218  \nPage 617  \nPage 48  \nPage 51  \n\n`XCR(85)72`  \n`GR1178/1922/32(III)`",

        "content_text": "## 35095\n\nWith care\n\nIt is a somewhat interesting commentary on the situation that Mr. Wu Hon-man, the new Minister for Foreign Affairs in Canton, who is rabidly anti-British, has recently sent his daughters back to the Colony.\n\n3.\n\nI telegraphed to you on the 1st August regarding the situation on the frontier. I attach a copy of a Police report regarding the shooting of women at a ferry on the Sham Chun River. On the 26th July a Mr. Smith, Manager of Messrs. Whiteaway Laidlaw and Company, walked with his wife across the frontier railway bridge into Chinese territory, where they were arrested by a labour picket. Mrs. Smith was permitted to return across the bridge, but Mr. Smith was taken to the Military headquarters at Sham Chun, where he was thoroughly searched. After some hours detention he was sent back into British territory.\n\nMost drastic steps are taken to prevent Chinese from reaching the Colony, and those in authority in Canton are doing their utmost to enforce an embargo on all food-stuffs and other goods, in spite of which some small quantity of supplies continues to reach Hongkong from various parts of the Delta. Efforts are being made to obtain cattle and pigs from Hoihow and Kwong Chow Wan.\n\nAs I have already reported, the export from\n\n4.\n\nthe Colony of rice, flour, tinned and preserved food-stuffs, coal, and petroleum and petroleum products have been prohibited, except under special licence. It has been found however that this prohibition, while undoubtedly inflicting hardship upon Canton, has at the same time had a detrimental effect upon the Colony's trade. For example, rice of a value of $6,000,000, the bulk of which ordinarily goes to Canton and the Delta, was locked up and deteriorating, while fresh supplies ceased to come forward. The embargo was accordingly removed and the trade is beginning to...",

        "content_text": "PIRACY OF THE S.S \"HONG HWA\"\n\n29\n\n13th Jan. 1925. The S.S HONG HWA which left Singapore on January 7th, 1925, for Hong Kong, with 357 passengers and a general cargo, was held up in Lat. 14.53 N., Long. 110.24 E., by 34 armed pirates who travelled as passengers. The Captain was ordered to steer a course for Breaker Point, and to keep the ship 80 miles outside of Hong Kong.\n\nAt noon on the 15th January, the pirate leader ordered the course to be changed for Chilang Point Light. This point was sighted at 11.45 p.m., the ship was darkened, and the Captain was ordered to steer to Ping Hoi. Mendoza Island was reached at 4.0 a.m. on the 16th.\n\nAt this stage, a man who appeared to be acting as pilot for the pirates took charge of the ship. The Captain was forced, however, to remain on the bridge. He steered for outside Single Island, apparently in error, thinking it was Bate Island at the entrance of Bias Bay. The ship reached Bias Bay at 5.0 a.m. and was headed for Kirs Bay. Dawn was breaking and the pilot appeared to realise that he had made a mistake, and ran down from the bridge and returned with about 20 pirates who seemed to be in a great panic. The ship was now abreast Sha Mun, about one mile off. The Quartermaster at the wheel told the pirates that the Captain knew how to get the ship clear, and the Captain was ordered to take charge. The pirates then went down below except one who remained at the Captain's side. He said \"Suppose you not take ship through, I kill you and I kill myself\". The ship cleared Sha Mun and was headed into Mirs Bay.\n\nA small launch steamed towards the ship from Sha Mun.\n\nBy this time the pirates were in a state of panic, and 7 or 8 of them rushed back to the bridge, among them being the leader, who said \"Suppose launch come, I put Captain, officers and Engineers in boat and set fire to ship. I have put kerosene in all the holds\". The launch did not come alongside.\n\nTsang Chau Island was reached at 8.0 a.m. when the Captain was ordered to stop the ship and lower two boats. This was done, and the Captain was directed to send the Second Officer in one of the boats with the sailors.\n\nThe leader bid the Captain good-bye, and said \"I'll see you in Hong Kong\". The gangway was lowered down and the pirates got into the boats, taking with them a varied assortment of boxes, bundles, bags, etc., and as they cast off from the ship they all waved their hats.\n\nThe pirates were armed with automatic pistols, revolvers, daggers, and choppers, added to which were two revolvers and two Colt automatics and 738 rounds of ammunition which were stolen from the ship.\n\nThe point where the ship stopped is about two miles from the point, which distance they were rowed by the ship's crew.\n\nWhen they landed they sent the boats back but remained on the beach until the boats returned to the ship. The ship returned to Hong Kong.\n\nNo persons were injured as the result of the piracy. During the whole of the time the pirates had charge, the Captain and officers were treated well. Regular watches were kept.\n\nIt was impossible to offer resistance owing to the completeness of the pirates' plans and the suddenness of the attack. The Wireless gear was dismantled immediately the attack commenced.\n\nThe Chief Pirate told the Captain that they had expected to find bullion on board, and that they had waited five weeks for this ship. He further said, his gang had pirated seven other ships.\n\nThe losses incurred by the Ship's Officers amounted to $319.",

        "content_text": "6\n\ntrived; and this is a matter which may well engage the attention of that section of the Faculty of Arts in the Hongkong University which devotes itself to the study of the Chinese language and literature.\n\nand the French child Cantonese child \"yan\" (人). But if I write alphabetically the word \"magnanimity,\" English, French and Cantonese children, provided they can spell, will all give it much the same sound. Now this fact has had an important historical result in China for it is the reason why the Chinese spoken language changes from province to province, although the written language is the same throughout the length and breadth of the land. Let me take for instance, a Chinese word, which has been adopted into the English language and which is constantly on our lips, the word tea. The ideogram for this word (茶) is pronounced ch'a both by Cantonese and Pekingese and thence comes the Russian chai, doubtless because the Russians got their tea from the Chinese of the north. But the same ideogram in Fukien is pronounced ti; and, as British traders first brought tea to England from the Fukien province, it was natural that they should bring with them its Fukienese name and hence the English word \"tea.\" Now it is evident that two Chinese, who wish to talk about tea, will not easily understand each other if, while one speaks of the beverage as ti, the other calls it ch'a: and this is only one instance of the strangely different sounds given by Chinese in different provinces to the same ideogram in a very great number of cases. Consequently, whereas the written language has been a bond of union between the Eighteen Provinces, the spoken language divides various sections of the Chinese race quite as much as different languages divide the several nations of Europe. The inconvenience of this fact can be readily experienced by anyone who moves among the Chinese population of Hongkong. Most people here speak Cantonese, but the chair-coolies are generally Hoklos, the villagers are often Hakkas, and many of the Chinese police are from Shantung and speak the dialect of that province. I have myself heard two Chinese in Hongkong talking to each other in 'pidgeon English or lingua Franca, because one was from the north and the other from the south, and therefore they could not understand each other's native speech. For the future of China, if it is ever to have national unity, few things are of greater importance than that a speech common to the Eighteen Provinces should be con-\n\nMISTRANSLATION OF BUDDHIST SUTRAS.\n\nBut the difficulty, which I have just described, is only one of many which beset the Chinese language, whether spoken or written. The object of human speech is, of course, to give utterance to human thought; and the various human languages differ in merit according as they are capable of expressing each and every thought which enters into the mind of man. Language should also be capable of translating accurately the speech and thoughts of one people into those of another people. Now it is possible to render into English and into several other languages with very reasonable accuracy anything that the Chinese write or say; but from early times the Chinese themselves have experienced difficulty in translating the works of other peoples into their own language. Let me take first the case of a famous Chinese mis-translation from the Buddhist sutras. In the Sanskrit version of the sutras, from which the Chinese translated, Buddha is very frequently called avalokiteçvara. This is a compound word and it may be analysed as follows: ava is a preposition and means \"over\": lokita is the participle of the verb lok to look\" and ava-lokita means \"over-looking.\" Now there is in Sanskrit a set of phonetic laws, called Sandhi, governing the manner in which vowels and consonants are combined; and one of these laws prescribes that, when the vowels a and i meet, they merge into the vowel sound e. Bearing this law in mind and resolving the letter avalokiteçvara into its component parts, we find that the latter half of the compound is the word içvara meaning \"sovereign.\" The whole compound, therefore, is a description of Buddha as the sovereign who overlooks mankind from above. But the Chinese translators knew nothing of sandhi, and they also failed to take note of the fact that there are in Sanskrit three sibilants, which western scholars transliterate S, Ç and Sh respectively. Accordingly they analysed the compound avalokiteçvara into two component parts avalokita and çvara, which they translated as \"looking\" (觀) and \"sound\" (音), of course, the phrase \"Overlooking Sound\" makes nonsense: but nevertheless the words Kun-yam or in Pekingese Kuan-yin and in Japanese Kwannon have now a very wide vogue and form the name of a much-worshipped goddess in the Buddhist pantheon. May I, however, explain to you the reason why I have gone into such detail concerning this mistranslation? It is because I defy any Chinese scholar, be he a hon-lam or even a chong-yün to translate what I have just said into Chinese. The Chinese language is such that these thoughts cannot be expressed in it and that Chinese words for much of what I have just said do not exist. The Chinese translators of the Buddhist sutras felt this difficulty themselves. There was a time in the earlier period of my service in Hongkong when I amused myself by making a detailed comparison between some of the Sanskrit sutras and their Chinese translations. All that I then did went to the bottom of Hongkong harbour with several other manuscripts in the typhoon of 1906; but I well remember that time and again, as I read the Chinese version, I came upon passages which seemed entirely meaningless until I turned to the Sanskrit original, when I found that the Chinese was at these points not a translation but a transliteration from the Sanskrit. The baffled Chinese translator had, in fact, contented himself with reproducing the sound, and not the sense, of the Sanskrit words.\n\nclear that no works on such subjects can be translated into Chinese without adopting the whole system of numerical and mathematical notation invented in the west? The fact is that the Chinese language and the Chinese script form an excellent medium for the study of things Chinese, but that Chinese mono-syllables and Chinese ideograms are a kind of linguistic bed of Procrustes, into which thoughts and words that are alien to the Chinese can only be forced by such drastic choppings and changings as to render them unrecognizable.\n\nWORK FOR THE FACULTY OF ARTS.\n\nNow, inasmuch as no true educational advance in China can be made without an assimilation of western knowledge, it follows either that the Chinese spoken and written language must be modified by the addition to it of an alphabet in a manner similar to that in which the Japanese kana supplements the Japanese ideograms, else that the Chinese people must become bilingual and teach their children some alphabetic foreign language in addition to their mother tongue. A decision between these alternatives will have very far-reaching effects upon the future of China: and I suggest that this problem also may with advantage be studied by the Faculty of Arts in this University. It is a problem which must certainly be faced by the Government of Hongkong in connection with the vernacular schools for which we are responsible both in the Colony and in the New Territories: and upon its solution will depend the future of our vernacular education. The old, time-honoured methods of Chinese education have been destroyed with a startling suddenness and no other well thought-out system has yet taken their place. Chinese children no longer begin their school days by committing to memory the Sam Tsz King and the Ts'in Tsz Man and thereafter the Four Books and the Five Classics. The old respect for the essay eight-legged has vanished and the ancient scheme of examinations for provincial and national degrees has been abolished. But no text-books or authoritative curriculum have far replaced the methods of bygone days; and here again I think that the Faculty of Arts in this University has before it a wide field for\n\nTRANSLATION OF MODERN WRITINGS.\n\nNow I venture to think that, if we pass from ancient to modern times, the difficulties met by the Chinese translators of the Sanskrit sutras will be felt in an even greater degree by any one who to-day attempts to translate, say, Hegel's Logic or the writings of Einstein into Chinese. But it may justly be said that these works are so abstruse that they present great difficulties in respect of translation into any language whatsoever. Take, therefore, instead such writings as the simplest text book of English grammar, of modern geography, history or science: how are they to be translated into a non-alphabetical script? Or consider the case of arithmetic, algebra and trigonometry; is it not\n\n44",

        "content_text": "OVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nSaturday, July 17.\n\nTELEPATHY.\n\n[No. 2998. July 22, 1926,\n\nto whom such treatment is likely to be of benefit are few and far between and associated with the use of them are many dangers. Psycho-analysis has yet to prove that continual mind probing and analysis of the motives actuating one's every action do not create as many \"complexes\" and abnormalities as the science sets itself to remove.\n\nThat fact is now clear from his masters at twenty-four hours' notice. Moreover, he pointed out that \"the Company had always considered it of prime importance to get their officers on able terms for its members in the gathering of Civil Servants.\" But that \"the employment of Chinese companies knocks on theory that a Government gets the kind of Press that it deserves.\"\n\nIf Prof. Langsner can substantiate his claim that by auto-suggestion or hypnotism he can cure stammerers, no matter how long standing, then he will confer lifelong benefit on those undoubtedly suffering from this handicap.\n\nWe are all familiar with the head in the certain exercised by the Justices of the Peace and the General Chamber of Commerce. There are Press rights and Press dignities to be upheld and preserved equally with those of Governors and other high officials of the Service.\n\nThe Press has a duty to perform toward the public that is on a plane equally as high as that of the head of the Administration. Furthermore, Governors come and go; their policies change. But the Press remains; its policy for the common weal is unalterable.\n\nApparently, it is not worth anyone looking on the Mercantile Marine as a profession, so far as Chinese-owned vessels are concerned. Hundreds of pounds may be spent on working one's way from the bottom of the ladder to the position of chief officer or master of a vessel, only to find that employment on a Chinese-owned vessel is impossible.\n\nSTORM HAVOC.\n\nAt the moment of writing, it is too early to attempt to assess the damage caused by the great storm and unprecedented rainfall that followed in the wake of the typhoon. The Colony has escaped the greater danger—that of the typhoon—is naturally a matter for congratulation.\n\nThat it should emerge from the violent storm that raged all during the night could not perhaps be expected, particularly in view of the incessant fall of rain. The only thing to marvel at is that the casualty list is not considerably higher than has been so far reported.\n\nWithin the memory of the oldest European resident, nothing like the all-night storm has ever been experienced, alike for the continuity of the lightning and the vivid flashes, which literally enclosed dwellings in one great sheet of flame on two sides.\n\nThe sensation was nothing if not weird and eerie. It certainly excelled the best description of lightning ever penned in a novel. But even in the dense and Chinese quarters of the city, there was nothing approaching a panic, even when the storm was at its zenith; indeed, by many, it was treated with contumely and indifference.\n\nNo. 2998-July 22, 1928.]\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\n237\n\n3\n\nThe difference. And evidence of the lighter side of the storm was forthcoming from certain European houses to the effect that their servants slept soundly right through the night and innocently enquired this morning when the thunder started!\n\nAs the rain has not yet spent itself, it is obvious that the tale of damage is not concluded. Houses are in danger of collapse, and retaining walls and bridges are menaced.\n\nThat, again, is only what can be anticipated with a rainfall that exceeds anything known in the history of the Colony since meteorological records were first taken.\n\nWe can merely pray that the Colony will be spared a repetition of the Po Hing Fong disaster exactly a year ago on July 17—when a retaining wall at the back of a block of houses came down during a heavy thunderstorm and demolished five houses, killing 78 persons and injuring 2.\n\nKnowing the danger of boulders in general during rainstorms in the Colony, it would have been thought that in the passing of plans for public works and dwelling houses, it would be deemed imperative to remove all boulders in the vicinity by means of blasting.\n\nAgain, at the end of Russell Street, two immense boulders fell down the hillside in a minor landslide, one of them crashing into the corner pillar of a house, breaking off this support almost at the top where it joined the first floor.\n\nWhen the plans for this particular house were passed, did no one in authority regard the proximity of these two immense boulders in the light of a possible menace during a storm? Did no one suggest that they ought to be removed by blasting before building operations were commenced?\n\nTuesday, July 20.\n\nSTORM PRECAUTIONS.\n\nPublic interest created by the great storm is still very great and is not likely to be diminished for some time.\n\nThe existence of such forms of telepathic or teleplastic powers gives the capacity of seeing things in a dream its scientific designation—cannot be denied, although they are confined to isolated cases in which particular natures are concerned.\n\nWhether the mental processes involved can be analysed as sufficiently to allow of the evolution of theories capable of general application is a problem in regard to which scientists may express opinions, but which time alone can decide.\n\nFriday, July 16.\n\n24 HOURS NOTICE.\n\nMonday, July 19.\n\nMenace.\n\nIn what other profession would such an intolerant and vexatious condition be imposed? It is not enough to say that because one man accepts such a condition without cavil, others should do the same.\n\nThe whole principle is utterly wrong and grossly unfair to the whole Mercantile Marine, and the sooner the practice of engaging master mariners with the implied or mutually agreed condition of liability to dismissal at twenty-four hours' notice is done away with, the better.\n\nWednesday, July 21.\n\nBOXER INDEMNITY FUNDS.\n\nThe disposal of the Fund has been discussed by the Associated Chambers of Commerce of China and Hongkong; and local educational and religious circles have seen in it a fit and proper subject for debate.\n\nFrom the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, we learn that the Advisory Committee at Home has already approved one of the Delegation's recommendations, which His Majesty's Government has adopted in principle, subject to Parliamentary approval—namely, that after the general lines of expenditure are laid down, the control and administration of the Fund shall be entrusted to a joint Board of Trustees in China, which shall submit an annual statement of receipts and expenditure to the Governments of China and Great Britain.\n\nIt is with regret that we have to record the death of Mrs. J. Fraser, wife of Mr. J. Fraser, formerly of the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs and now District Officer North, Talpo.\n\nMrs. Fraser, who came to Hongkong seven years ago as a medical missionary in connection with the London Missionary Society, was then Dr. Gladys Turner. She was attached to the Alice Memorial and Maternity Hospital (Nethersole and Affiliated Hospitals) and rendered invaluable services in connection with that institution.\n\nIn addition to her usual perils of foods and landslides, the menace of lightning was added to the frightfulness of the storm.\n\nAnd yet the number of killed and injured, so far as is officially known, can be counted on both hands.\n\nNow that the storm has passed, attention will be confined to the work of rehabilitation.\n\nPage 237\n\nPage 238\n\nPage 239",

W. Kew went into the accounts at considerable length, punctuating his questions with sarcasm and comment. Another shareholder, Mr. F. S. Harrison, also joined in. Mr. A. H. Rowe, managing director, gave most of the replies while Mr. H. Birkett (chairman) also answered Mr. Kew.\n\nBesides those mentioned, there were present Messrs. Sum Pak-ming, T. N. Chau (directors) and H. M. Kew, A. Nissim, C. A. Fulcher (shareholders).\n\nLast Year's Features.\n\nThe outstanding items in the report for the year ended April 30, 1926, are:-\n\n11 lakhs depreciation written off in 26 months.\n\n$40,000 profit last year instead of $46,000 loss, as result of farming out the fleet of taxis.\n\nConcessions obtained from the International and French settlements, Shanghai: 50 taxis will be sent up from Hongkong.\n\n...\n\nMr. Birkett observed that $15,000 for salaries and wages was not a big item for twelve months. Mr. Kew - \"No, when you say it slowly.\"\n\nIn Deep Water?\n\nMr. Kew said, \"The best course, take it from me, is to wind up before further trouble. This is a one man show, run for the benefit of Mr. Rowe.\"\n\nOn being accosted by a constable at Reclamation Street on Saturday night, a Chinese dropped a sack he was carrying and escaped. The sack contained eight revolvers and 800 rounds of ammunition.\n\n[No. 2995. July 22, 1926.\n\nCOMING HERE.\n\nJuly 19.\n\nThe Hongkong office of the Asiatic Petroleum Company have received information that the Marchese de Pinedo is shortly commencing a new flight from Pisa, Italy.\n\nIt will be remembered that Pinedo passed through Hongkong last October during his flight from Rome to Australia and Japan and back to Italy.\n\nFor his new flight Pinedo intends to use a seaplane and his route will cover 60,000 miles, as follows: From Pisa across Spain to Lisbon, thence by way of the Azores to Newfoundland and New York; from New York he will fly to Seattle and down the coast to San Diego and thence across country to New Orleans. From New Orleans he will pass through the West Indies to British Guiana, and strike inland across Brazil to Rio de Janeiro and on to Buenos Aires, and across the Andes to Valparaiso.\n\nHis route afterward will be as follows: Easter Island, Mangareva, Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji Islands to New Caledonia, New Zealand and Australia. Afterwards he will touch at various points in the Dutch East Indies, Manila and North China, flying inland to Hankow and still inland to Saigon in French Indo-China. The remainder of his route covers Rangoon, Calcutta, Ceylon, Chagos Islands, Seychelles, Mauritius to Beira, then round the coast of South Africa as far as Boma to the Belgian Congo; he will then strike inland to Tanganyika, and flying through Uganda and up the Nile to Cairo, along the coast to Tripoli and back across the Mediterranean to Pisa.\n\nThe Marchese de Pinedo expects to arrive in Hongkong early in November on the return part of his flight.\n\nAt the request of the Marchese, the \"Shell\" organisation are making all the necessary fuel arrangements for the entire flight. \"Shell\" aviation spirit is again chosen on account of the excellent result obtained during his last flight when 34,000 miles were covered without the slightest mishap.\n\nMOTOR MISHAP.\n\nJuly 19.\n\nMr. R. M. Johnson, of 17 Humphrey's Buildings, Kowloon, reports that while driving a motor car along Castle Peak Road on Saturday in the direction of Tsim Sha Tsui, a woman ran from the hillside and was caught by the fender, sustaining minor injuries. She refused to go to Hospital and was compensated.\n\nMr. M. Manuk returned to the Colony from Australia on Thursday by \"... Taiping\"\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nWELL DONE.\n\nJuly 19.\n\nThe bazaar which was recently held at the University in aid of the New Building Fund of St. Stephen's College resulted in a net profit of over $5,400. On this result, the students and all who helped in the organising are to be congratulated, and especially the Old Boy whom they invited to be Chairman - Mr. Chiu Ying-po.\n\nA room in the new school will be named after the 1926 Students in accordance with the privileges granted to subscribers to the New Building Fund.\n\nThe Committee wishes to thank the following patrons and Companies who kindly contributed to the bazaar:-\n\nPatrons: Mr. Sir Shou Son-chow, S.S.G.C.

Yang, Chiu Wong Chung-hau, Cheung Sum-woo, Chan Tay Han-wa, Kwong Kwui Co., My Edward Dispensary, China Dispensary.\n\nDOWN SOUTH.\n\nPresent-day conditions in New South Wales under the Labour Government are portrayed by a letter which Mrs. Maud Woods has received from her sister, dated June 23:-\n\n\"I have my money in industrial shares, steam, coal and breweries, etc., but I'm in for a bad time with reduced dividends - which are inevitable, owing to this Labour Government making gods of the workman. It is a new set of State insurance laws, operating on July 1, and is killing every ... but the working ... is 31. For instance, a gardener, for whom one paid 18s. per annum insurance against accident in the past, has now to be paid £5; a man employed in a brewery, formerly 13s. 6d. per annum, now 78s. 9d.; bakers, similar trades, and so on, and milk carters from 40s. to 140s.; a miner from £10 to £50; and there are hundreds and hundreds, close to a thousand, all taxable. If I can get a paper (I have to keep the one I have) will send it to you. It is really unbelievable.\n\n\"The Insurance Companies will reap a harvest and I don't own one share in them. Just imagine, say, in Farmer & Co., something like 1,000 hands employed, having to pay 48s. 9d. instead of 10s. per head, and I see in the list that domestic servants have to be insured at 52s. 6d. a head, instead of 5s. Every trade, musicians included, are in the list. A boy who delivers newspapers costs his employer 70s. instead of 12s. a year. I could go on for the next hour and never finish.\n\n\"Wharf labourers, who are paid by the Steamship Companies (I have a lot of shares in those) are increased from £8 to £40 annually. So the poor shareholders in all those Companies will suffer. Clerical workers are let down the lightest, so the shares in offices and banks will not be affected.\n\n\"My broker told me about the disastrous time that's ahead!\"",

Z. Koo, who is head of the Y.M.C.A. work among University, College and Middle School men in China, passed through the Colony on Saturday, en route to Swatow, to attend the student summer conference.\n\nMr. Koo represented China at the Opium Conference last year, and had ten days' meetings in Hongkong schools during March of this year.\n\nThe Association's bathing parties have begun, the second one to be held this Saturday afternoon.\n\nThe launch will leave the Pottinger Wharf at 3.30, and go to Big Wave Bay.\n\nAbout 60 members went on the first party two weeks ago.\n\nH.K. ANGLING CLUB.\n\nJuly 15.\n\nWe are informed that, weather conditions permitting, a deep sea fishing competition will be held towards the end of this month for members of the Hongkong Angling Club.\n\nFull particulars regarding the exact place of contest and the conditions under which the competition will be held will be announced later.\n\nMembers wishing to take part in the competition are requested to send their names in, as soon as possible, to the Hon. Secretary, Mr. E. B. C. Hornell, care of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., Ltd.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nAPPEAL COURT.\n\nJuly 15.\n\nJudgment was reserved at the conclusion of evidence and legal argument yesterday in the Full Court of Appeal case in which the landlord applies for the setting aside of a judgment in the Summary Court under which he was made liable for certain acts alleged to have been committed by his rent collector.\n\nLi Sang, the rent collector, gave evidence and said that the only reason he went to the premises on that day was that information was received that the tenant, who was in arrears with his rent, was moving certain goods away.\n\nMr. Potter, in his final argument, remarked on the fact that the rent collector had gone to the house at 9 o'clock at night, which was hardly consistent with his paying an ordinary call to collect rent.\n\nMr. Potter stated emphatically that there was nothing whatever to show that the rent collector or his agent took away property from the premises.\n\nMAIL ABOUT SWEEPS.\n\nTo the Editor of the \"China Mail.\"\n\nSir—As your turf correspondent, I have been asked to give my views on that interesting local topic, the running of cash sweeps.\n\nFirst of all, I must insist that in no way do I pose as a legal expert.\n\nI merely intend to give a few facts.\n\nOn points pertaining to the law, I crave your readers' indulgence.\n\nThere are many kinds of cash sweeps in the Colony.\n\nSome are of absolutely the highest integrity.\n\nThey are above reproach, even when compared with the most popular in the world.\n\nIt is invidious to quote names, but those who are genuinely interested in the turf and their interests are bona fide, will know the ones I mean.\n\nIn one or two, tickets are not obtainable—it being necessary to sign one's name in a book.\n\nIn the contract (given out to the contractor), it is expressly stated that property other than building material must be returned.\n\nThe intention, of course, being that the Hotel would get back what it owned, while anything belonging to residents would be restored as far as possible.\n\nI have also seen sweeps, run by clubs, in which the \"body corporate\" stood to benefit, but no commission was paid to agents to dispose of tickets.\n\nBy this, I mean that the sweeps which are known to be \"good\" need hardly pay any inducement to sellers.\n\nThe question of commission to sellers also crops up.\n\nI am of the opinion that a cash sweep has a better name in ratio to the lack of commission paid to agents.\n\nHONGKONG HOTEL.\n\nJuly 15.\n\nRumours concerning the finding of valuables in the Hongkong Hotel building, as a sequel to the New Year's Day fire, have proved to be exaggerated.\n\nOn reference to Mr. W. J. Hawker, managing director of Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Ltd., a \"China Mail\" representative was informed that only a few trinkets had been recovered.\n\nThey were of small value, and the residents deemed them not worth applying for.\n\nA decision had also to be arrived at as to how many storeys would be rebuilt.\n\nAccordingly, it is impossible to say when the Des Voeux Road corner would be in use again.\n\nQUARANTINE RESTRICTIONS.\n\nQuarantine restrictions have been imposed against arrivals from Yokohama on account of plague.\n\nMURDER CASE.\n\nThe case in which a bricklayer of Aberdeen is charged with the murder of his wife was continued at the Central Magistracy on July 15.\n\nA woman, Todger, gave evidence of overhearing a previous quarrel between the couple—and a scream on the morning of the murder, when defendant was seen to be getting away from the cubicle.\n\nThe case is proceeding.\n\nTWO MOTOR ACCIDENTS.\n\nMotor cars driven by Professor Roffey, of the Hongkong University, and Mr. W. A. Hannibal were involved in a collision on Repulse Bay Road, near Deep Bay, shortly after 7 p.m. yesterday.\n\nOne of the cars received slight damage.\n\nIn another accident on the Shaukiwan Road, a Chinese received injuries to both knees by walking out of the bathing shed at North Point into a car driven by Mr. H. E. Goldsmith.\n\nThe injuries, however, were not serious, and the man refused to go to hospital.\n\nJUNK PIRACY.\n\nJuly 15.\n\nThe case in which three men were charged with the piracy of a fishing junk of Lantau Island on May 29 concluded at the Central Magistracy yesterday before Mr. R. E. Lindsell.\n\nIt was stated at the first hearing that three women occupants of the junk were pushed overboard.\n\nThe men were not charged with murder, as none of the bodies had been recovered.\n\nA small boy, the only survivor, who escaped by swimming ashore, identified some of the defendants.\n\nAll the defendants implicated each other yesterday, while a fourth man, not in custody, was stated to have forced one of them to take part in the attack.\n\nThe second defendant said that if the small boy still implicated him in the piracy and murder, he must ask the boy to do so on oath.\n\nFIRE AT SEA.\n\nLOSS OF A FRENCH STEAMER.\n\nBOUND FOR CHINA.\n\nDjibouti, July 14.\n\nThe Messageries Maritimes mail boat Fontainebleau, bound for Ceylon, the Straits Settlements, China, and Japan, has been destroyed by fire.\n\nThe passengers and crew, and a small part of the cargo, have been saved.\n\nThe mail sacks have been lost.\n\nReuter.\n\nA cable has also been received intimating that the passengers had been landed at Djibouti.\n\nFurther news is awaited by way of Saigon-Shanghai-Hongkong.\n\nCAFE INCIDENT.\n\nJuly 15.\n\nArising out of an incident, which occurred at the Cafe Restaurant Parisien in Pedder Building last night, Mr. L. G. Taylor, the manager, was charged before Mr. R. E. Lindsell at the Central Magistracy this morning with \"disorderly conduct.\"\n\nHis Worship adjourned the case until Monday morning, remarking that he understood further proceedings were pending.\n\nDAYLIGHT ROBBERY.\n\nJuly 15.\n\nWhile Mrs. Grantham, of Queen's Gardens, was walking in Des Voeux Road, near the Sincere Company, at noon yesterday, a Chinese snatched a silk bag she was carrying in her hand and made his escape.\n\nThe bag, valued at $20, contained, in addition to a few articles, a sum of $18 in money.\n\nA report of the loss was subsequently made to the police.\n\nFRANCE'S DAY.\n\nJuly 15.\n\nLast night, a large crowd gathered at the Cafe Restaurant Parisien to celebrate in fitting style the 14th of July.\n\nThe Cafe was tastefully decorated with the flags of the different countries, and the tables were decorated with red, white, and blue bunting.\n\nAll kinds of novelties were presented, such as horns, caps, false faces, streamers, and confetti, and about closing time, the Cafe took on a real carnival aspect.\n\nA very fine dinner was served, and Syncopators at their best, everybody seemed to enjoy himself immensely.\n\nCADET SHIPS' VISIT.\n\nJuly 15.\n\nH.E. the Governor and civil, military, and naval officials were entertained last night at the Hongkong Hotel in connection with the visit of the two Japanese training ships, the \"Yakumo\" and \"Izumo.\"\n\nThe host was the Japanese Consul-General, Mr. Y. Murakami.\n\nThe toast of H.M. the King was submitted by the Japanese Consul-General, and H.E. the Governor proposed the toast of H.M. the Emperor of Japan.\n\nTO-DAY'S SALUTES.\n\nJuly 15.\n\nThe \"Hai Yung,\" under orders from the Chinese Government, arrived in Hongkong.\n\nShe saluted \"the country,\" and a reply was sent from Blackhead's signal station.\n\nSalutes were also interchanged with the Commodore, the Japanese Naval Imperial training squadron, and the U.S.S. \"Helena.\"\n\nPRATAS ISLAND.\n\nWith the typhoon season having practically started, even the layman and the landlubber will turn their attention to Pratas, that spot 180 miles to the south of Hongkong, from which meteorological reports are broadcasted.\n\nThe Chinese Admiralty has erected a station, with wireless, on Pratas Island.\n\nBy reason of its position, being in the track of the majority of typhoons which come up this way—Pratas is of great importance.\n\nIt is, of course, a part of Chinese territory.\n\nA trip was suggested on which the Director of the Royal Observatory, Hongkong (Mr. T.

        "content_text": "240\n\n24 HOURS.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nMr. John Melville Anderson, master mariner, was the plaintiff in a Supreme Court action this morning in which he claimed $1,515 damages from the Man Wing Steamship Company, this consisting of three months' salary in lieu of notice.\n\nMr. H. G. Sheldon, instructed by Mr. J. A. Gordon Leask, was for the plaintiff and Mr. F. C. Jenkin, instructed by Mr. D. McCallum, was for the defendants.\n\nMr. Sheldon said that Mr. Anderson joined the employ of the chief officer of the company \"Haitan\" in December, 1923, and in January of the following year was appointed master, continuing in that capacity until November of that year. His appointment as master followed the proceeding home of Capt. Jones and it was on Capt. Jones's recommendation that Mr. Anderson was appointed.\n\nThe interview at which the appointment was made took place in the presence of Mr. Chang, the managing director of the Company, and Mr. Ho, an interpreter. Capt. Jones and Mr. Anderson being the only others present.\n\nAt that interview, Mr. Anderson would tell the Court that there was no question of notice discussed at all.\n\nThere was no written agreement but it was verbally agreed that Mr. Anderson should take over at the same wages and emoluments as Capt. Jones.\n\nNo Reason Given.\n\nIn November 1924 when the ship returned to Hongkong, said Mr. Sheldon, Mr. Ho came on board and handed Mr. Anderson a letter terminating his engagement. No reason was given and Mr. Ho said he could give none. It was not his doing but the decision of the owners.\n\nMr. Ho offered Mr. Anderson a month's wages which Mr. Anderson refused. Mr. Anderson had an interview with the Harbour Master also with the secretary of the China Coast Officers' Guild as a result of which he saw solicitors.\n\nMr. Anderson had not been able to get employment after his dismissal until January of the following year when he accepted a position as third officer on one of Jardine Matheson's coastal boats.\n\nMr. Anderson then went into the witness box and bore out counsel's opening remarks. He had had twenty years' experience of the China coast, he stated, eleven of which had been with Messrs. Butterfield and Swire as second and chief officer.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Jenkin, witness said that his salary with the employ of defendants worked out to about $237 a month. He joined Jardine Matheson's after he left the defendants on January 17, 1925.\n\nMr. Jenkin: So you were employed for 37 days of the three months in respect of which you make your claim.\n\nWitness: Yes.\n\nMr. Jenkin: That reduces your claim to $1,234.48.\n\nIn answer to further questions, witness said that as chief officer with the defendant company he had been on a 24 hours' agreement.\n\nAn Old Friend.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Capt. Jones was a very old friend of yours?\n\nWitness: Yes.\n\nMr. Jenkin: And do you mean to tell us that he neither mentioned to you nor did you know of your own knowledge that he was on a 24 hours' notice agreement?\n\nWitness: Yes. It was not until his return that I found that out. He said he forgot to tell me.\n\nMr. Jenkin: The question of the period of your service and of possible length of notice is one of the most important points to consider when entering into an engagement, is it not?\n\nWitness would not commit himself in reply to this question.\n\nThe evidence of Mr. Anderson having concluded the case for the plaintiffs, Mr. Jenkin briefly addressed the court before calling Mr. E. Chang to give evidence. He spoke of the practice followed by the defendant company in engaging masters on 24 hours' notice and said that it was incomprehensible that this very important factor would have been entirely omitted from the interview, as a result of which Mr. Anderson was appointed.\n\nMr. Jenkin put it to Mr. Anderson that what had taken place at the interview was that he had been engaged \"on the same agreement\" or \"on the same terms\" as Capt. Jones.\n\nThis witness denied and said that only the question of wages and emoluments was discussed. The interview only lasted a few minutes, Mr. Chang could not speak English and Mr. Ho interpreted and told witness that Mr. Chang was agreeable to his being engaged on the same wages and emoluments as Capt. Jones.\n\n\"Allee Same Agreement.\"\n\nMr. Jenkin: I put it to you that Mr. Chang said to you and Capt. Jones in broken English \"allee same agreement. Capt. Jones: 24 hours notice,\" and that you, or at any rate Capt. Jones, said \"Yes.\"\n\nWitness: No, that is not so.\n\nMr. Chang did not speak even in pidgin English.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Would you have taken the position if it had been offered you on those terms?\n\nWitness: No.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Why not?\n\nWitness: I would not consider it a proper agreement for a master.\n\nAsked what ships other than the \"Haitan\" he had been master of on the China coast, Mr. Anderson replied that he had been master of the \"Chuen Chow,\" a river boat, and of vessels in Australia.\n\nThe whole question hinged on the interview at which Mr. Anderson was appointed, said Mr. Sheldon. Mr. Anderson had no knowledge as to what notice Capt. Jones was on. It was not until after his dismissal that Mr. Anderson found out that Capt. Jones had been on a written agreement under which he was liable to 24 hours' notice.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Were you not under a 24 hours' notice agreement as master of the \"Chuen Chow\"?\n\nWitness: No.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Were you on a 24 hours' notice agreement as junior officer?\n\nWitness: Yes.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nIn his final address on behalf of the owners at yesterday afternoon's hearing of the case in which Mr. J. M. Anderson, master mariner, claimed $1,515 from the Man Wing Steamship Company as wages in lieu of notice of termination of a verbal agreement for his captaincy of the s.s. \"Haitan,\" Mr. F. C. Jenkin dealt with the element of hardship which might appear on the face of things. He would like to point out, though, he said, that Mr. Anderson by the fortuitous fact that Capt. Jones went home on private affairs in 1924 stepped into a job whereby his salary was doubled for a period of ten months.\n\nMr. Jenkin said it was inconceivable that, although Mr. Anderson was working on the same ship as Capt. Jones and was a very great personal friend of his, he was not aware of the conditions of Capt. Jones's employment whereby he could be dismissed at 24 hours' notice.\n\n[No. 2998-July 22, 1926]\n\nIt was thought that there would have been discussion of terms of employment. It was also remarkable that in handing Captain Anderson a letter dismissing him at 24 hours' notice, Ho should have offered him a month's salary in lieu of notice. In the first correspondence between the solicitors, there was no mention of this.\n\nThe first letter from the plaintiffs was to the effect that the claim was for wrongful dismissal and that Captain Anderson was entitled to three months' notice. It was remarkable if the solicitors had known of this that they should not have mentioned it in their letters. Had they done so, it would have strengthened plaintiff's case.\n\nCaptain Jones, whose place plaintiff took, was in fact on an agreement determinable at 24 hours' notice and he found it difficult to understand how, when the four men met, Captain Anderson was not in possession of this information.\n\nIt was to him a matter of regret that neither side had called Captain Jones.\n\nThe question of 24 hours' notice was evidently present in the mind of Chan and it appeared reasonable to suppose that this important matter was mentioned at the interview.\n\nHe came to that conclusion without finding that Captain Anderson had deliberately attempted to deceive the court, because the meeting seemed to have been short and informal and it was possible that the plaintiff did not fully apprehend all that took place.\n\nHe entered judgment for defendants, with costs.\n\nCAPT. MACINTOSH.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nCapt. W. MacIntosh of the pirated s.s. \"Tungchow,\" (seized in January last by Cantonese pirates near Weihaiwei, taken to Bias Bay and then abandoned) is leaving for Home.\n\nCapt. MacIntosh is one of the China Navigation Co.'s best-known skippers, and he left Shanghai last week for England on the P. & O. He had to have a foot amputated, as a result of the wound he received when the ship was seized.\n\nThe pirates tried to compel Capt. MacIntosh to surrender. As a consequence, he refused to do so. The pirates shot at him, and Capt. MacIntosh was wounded.\n\nThere was evidence before the court that he was on a practically ever 24 hours' agreement with the same company.\n\nThree men arrested on a sampan were identified as members of the pirate gang and were put to death recently before a firing squad in the native city at Shung-shan.\n\n\"Remarkable Version.\"\n\nHis Lordship in delivering judgment said Captain Anderson's version of the interview was remarkable, notice being three months.\n\n[No. 2998-July 22, 1926]\n\nTHOUGHT FEELING.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nProfessor Maximilian Langsner, a Pole who has devoted his life to the study of telepathy (\"thought feeling,\" as he prefers to call it) and hypnotism is at present in Hongkong in the course of a world tour.\n\nThe practice adopted by Prof. Langsner is to make a prolonged stay in each country for the purpose of carrying out observations which will enable him to perfect his art. He realises that this cannot be accomplished in the space of a few weeks such as might enable a novelist to write a passably good novel with certain local colour.\n\nHis study of the psychology of the peoples of the various countries included in his itinerary is extended over a considerable period. He has been on his travels for some years and intends to devote another two or three to life in China and Japan.\n\nThe countries he has visited in the course of the present tour are Greece, Egypt, Persia, India, and Indo-China.\n\nProf. Langsner has given demonstrations in Telepathy in some of the places he has visited. Such demonstrations are not, however, the main purpose of his visit.\n\nHe emphasises that his feats are not illusions, in fact he prefers to have a sceptical audience. If it should be practicable for a local demonstration to be given, Hongkong people will have the opportunity of witnessing the remarkable powers which Prof. Langsner undoubtedly possesses.\n\nIn Indo-China, according to the Press, \"his claim to read the mind of another was genuinely proved. It was the most convincing demonstration of telepathy yet given to a theatre audience.\"\n\nConfirmed By Reuters.\n\nSimilar appreciation is reported from the other places he has visited, glowing accounts being given of his almost incredible demonstrations, sceptics who challenged him being reported as entirely convinced of the genuineness of his claims and subsequently becoming his friends and advocates.\n\nIn Calcutta, where he was challenged to make a long-distance telepathic communication, he detailed what was happening in certain streets in Paris and London, events which were confirmed by the manager of Reuters in Calcutta.\n\nIn Cairo, before a packed audience, five lions placed in an arena were mesmerised and, in the words of one of the newspapers, \"became as quiet as the docile cats of Angora.\"\n\nWhilst in Persia, the Professor was awarded the order of the \"Sun and Lion\" by the Shah and presented with a pair of Persian carpets.\n\nAnother test to which he was subjected in Indo-China was to drive a car blindfolded for a long distance, the occupants of the car being French officials.\n\nKIDNAPPING CASE.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nFurther evidence of a railway porter from Taipo and a woman occupier of a house at Second Street was called at the Central Magistracy this morning in the case in which a Chinese woman was charged with alleged kidnapping of an eleven-year-old boy.\n\nMr. E. S. C. Brooks appeared for the defence.\n\nEvidence was given by the constable of firing four shots with the intention of stopping the man who escaped after discarding his coat.\n\nPrevious to that, the detective had carried out a KIDNAPPING CASE.\n\nAfter hearing evidence, Mr. Lindsell considered that the charge could hardly be maintained, as the defendant had made no secret that the boy accompanied her on the train and in fact had told the principal tenant about it.\n\nOne very strong corroborating point was the evidence regarding the character of the deceased. No one had come forward to identify him.\n\nDealing with the use of firearms, Mr. Lindsell said that shooting was permissible in certain circumstances such as in chasing a man who is suspected of having committed a felony.\n\nIf it be believed the constable's story that the dagger was found on the man, then it was not an unreasonable assumption that the man was a felon, although the police had not been able to prove that a felony had been committed.\n\nIf the constable was justified in firing to stop him, and further, if he killed the man, then the killing was in law justifiable.\n\nThe Verdict.\n\nThe following were the questions to the jury and their answers:-\n\nHad the constable during the pursuit reasonable cause to suspect that the man had committed a felony? Yes.\n\nIf so, could he have effected an arrest by any other means short of firing? No.\n\nMr. Lindsell: On those answers, I return a verdict of justifiable homicide.\n\nPUPILS WORK.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nThe end of the term at Victoria British School (East Point) was made the occasion of an open day, parents and friends visiting the premises this morning and taking advantage of the opportunity of seeing the work done by the young pupils during the term and of observing the excellent system on which the school is run.\n\nThe basis on which the methods of instruction are founded is that the pupils should actively co-operate with the teachers as much as possible.\n\nIn this particular, the representation of material particulars which are under study by means of tableaux constructed by the pupils themselves is worthy of mention.\n\nThe pupils are encouraged to cut out from picture books the several ingredients to the scenes, the idea being that, pictorially represented, they convey a deeper meaning than mere words can do.\n\nSpecimens of the work of the scholars in needlework, designing, stencilling, etc., were on display, also some of the examination papers. These were the object of much interest by the parents and other friends who were welcomed by Mrs. E. M. Clark, Headmistress, and conducted over the premises by the staff and pupils.\n\nMrs. Clark, in welcoming those present, thanked the parents for their co-operation in the conduct of the school and the training of the children and expressed the hope that they would continue working together to the ends. Mrs. Clark also mentioned that she was always willing to co-operate in with a caution training for pupils particularly gifted along certain lines.\n\nA very pleasing programme of dances was then gone through, \"The Pipes of Pan\" to the accompaniment of the gramophone and \"Sleep Fairies\" and \"Bubbles\" to the pianoforte accompaniment of Miss A. E. Hendry, in charge of classes 6 and 7.\n\nThe younger scholars gave \"The Pierrots\" and the older pupils gave \"The Big Chief\" to the pianoforte accompaniment of Miss Hendry.\n\nThe pupils taking part were:-\n\nClass 6: Marie Clarke and Sidney Fowler.\n\nClass 7: Douglas Mackay, Douglas Taylor, James Clark, Alex MacFarlane and Albert Moss, William MacFarlane.\n\nClass 8: Mary Taylor, Ernie Fowler and Alison Mackay.\n\nInfants (\"B\"): Florry Fowler, Stella Stevenson, Eric Stone,\n\nInfants (\"A\"): Jean Clark, Robert Glen and Billy Gegg.\n\nFATAL WOUNDING.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nThe inquiry into the death of a Chinese who was shot by a detective was resumed before Mr. R. E. Lindsell and a jury at the Central Magistracy to-day.\n\nIn his summing up to the jury, Mr. Lindsell said he saw no reason to doubt the evidence of the constable which was corroborated in material particulars.\n\nHe held that the boy accompanied the woman of his own accord and he did not believe the story that he was dragged into the train.\n\nThe defendant was discharged with a warning and the boy's brother, who was present in court, was ordered to look after him in future.\n\nDEEP-SEA FISHING.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nA local deep-sea fishing competition will be held towards the end of this month for members of the Hongkong Angling Club if the weather permits. Particulars as to conditions will be announced later.\n\nMembers wishing to take part are requested to send their names in, as soon as possible, to the hon. secretary, Mr. E. B. C. Hornell, c/o Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., Ltd.\n\nA Chinese push cyclist was charged at the Kowloon Magistracy on July 15 with using a motor horn on his machine. Defendant pleaded ignorance and was discharged with a caution.\n\nA Chinese, charged with the murder of his wife gave evidence at the Central Magistracy on July 15, stating that the woman accidentally plunged a chisel into her throat. He was committed for trial at the Sessions.\n\nThe practice adopted by Prof. Langsner is to make a prolonged stay in each country for the purpose of carrying out observations which will enable him to perfect his art. He realises that this cannot be accomplished in the space of a few weeks such as might enable a novelist to write a passably good novel with certain local colour.\n\nProf. Langsner is a gifted linguist, speaking no less than six languages. He was a personal friend of the late Enrico Caruso who was also a student of the occult.\n\nWriting to him on one occasion the great singer said \"You hypnotise the world with your eyes. I hypnotise the world with my voice. We are both hypnotisers.\"",

Polishwalla & Kotwall, cotton and yarn brokers, in their report on the Indian yarn market, state:-\n\nHongkong, July 20,\n\nSince our last report of June 21, much activity has continued in our yarn market, due to good inquiries from consuming centres, which has resulted in substantially large sales both in \"spot\" and \"to arrive\" at an advance of $2 to $5 per bale.

The grounding of the motor boat in Deep Bay is of such frequent occurrence that I did not anticipate any danger in that quarter, as she has hitherto always got clear with the next tide. However, in case she might have gone aground up the river I instructed P.S. Rogers to take out a patrol and search the river northwards. This he did and remained out the greater part of the night without any trace of the boat or crew.\n\n3. At 07.30 hours, 21.7.26, P.S. Rogers telephoned and informed me that he had just heard from Lowu that the motor boat was aground in G.1., above Lowu, and that the whole of the crew had been arrested by strike pickets and taken to Sham Chun. This information was later amplified by a message I received from S.I. Hoare, who had just seen Mr. Davidson, of the Chinese Customs, who had witnessed the grounding of the motor boat the previous afternoon, but kept the knowledge to himself. Mr. Davidson said he was not aware that there was a telephone at Lowu Railway Station, but even so he could have at least informed the police on duty there.\n\nUpon receipt of the message from P.S. Rogers acquainting me of what had happened I at once telephoned and informed the U.S.P. (K) who instructed me to stand-by for orders. At 10.30 hours I received from him a communication in the form of an ultimatum, which I was required to have translated and sent to Sham Chun with all possible speed. The following is the communication referred to:-\n\nFrom Hon. Captain Superintendent of Police.\n\nTo Officer Commanding Troops at Sham Chun.\n\nYou are hereby called upon to return the whole crew of No. 10 Police Motor Boat to Lowu bridge, British Territory, immediately.

        "content_text": "J\n\n10\n\n—\n\nWe need scarcely say that we do not ask that any voluntary abstention should be \"suppressed by force\". All that we ask is that an involuntary abstention should not be maintained by force or artificial means. We do not wish to be misunderstood here. We fully realise that a year ago many Chinese believed, erroneously as we think, that they had reason for making a protest against the action of various foreign nations in connection with the incidents referred to above. If they had such reason, which we deny, they have made that protest, in various ways, but we are convinced that the great bulk of the people, always excepting those whose interest it is to maintain the boycott, would now gladly resume normal relations.\n\nIt is further alleged in the statements of the Chinese delegation that \"the practical blockade which the Government of Hongkong instituted against Canton and the rest of the province was a powerful predisposing and later continuing factor in the maintenance and enforcement of the anti-British boycott,\" and that \"this Hongkong severance of economic relations with Canton suggested the precise form in which patriotic retaliation for June 24 should express itself.\" This is a good example of putting a bad construction on perfectly innocent actions. The Hongkong Government did not institute any blockade of Canton or the rest of the province. Hongkong did not sever economic relations with Canton. The prohibition of the exportation of certain foodstuffs was a measure dictated by common prudence for the purpose of conserving the food supplies of the Colony. By the 22nd June the shipping strike had already begun, and no one knew how far the importation of foodstuffs into the Colony might not be interfered with. If this was a blockade by Hongkong, it was a blockade of the whole world. The object of the prohibition was shown by the notification of the 11th August, which announced that licences would be given freely for the exportation to all destinations subject to adequate reserves being maintained in the Colony, and the embargo was wholly removed on the 9th October. The prohibition of the exportation of coin, bullion and notes was a measure of ordinary financial prudence for the protection of the currency and financial system of the Colony.\n\nThus purely defensive measures, imposed on Hongkong by the strike, are twisted into an attack on Canton. In fact, the statement of the Chinese delegation on this point seems to us to be a desperate attempt to find an excuse and an explanation for the institution and maintenance of the boycott against Hongkong, a community which had not been concerned in any way with the incidents previously described.\n\nFinally, we take this opportunity to enter an indignant protest against the attempt which has been made by means of unscrupulous propaganda throughout the course of this unhappy trouble to throw the blame on Hongkong and on the British nation. In truth, the malady of which the Chinese delegation speak is an internal one and will not be cured by attacking the British people, who of all others are most desirous of seeing a happy, prosperous and independent China with whom they can conduct their trade.\n\nWe fully appreciate the fact that the whole outlook of large sections of the Chinese people has changed in recent years, and we sincerely sympathise with the ambition of the Chinese nation to take that great place in the world to which its genius entitles it. The Government of Hongkong, in particular, is prepared to assist in the development of those provinces with which the Colony is brought into immediate contact, in any way which may be of mutual benefit, and it is in this direction that we hope a solution of the present difficulties may be found.\n\nPage 347\n\nNo. 6.\n\nSTATEMENT\n\nMADE BY THE\n\nCHINESE DELEGATION\n\nAT THE\n\nMEETING OF Wednesday, the 21st July, 1926.\n\n347\n\nAs trustees of power on behalf of the Chinese people in the Liang-Kuang, the Nationalist Government sets the utmost value on publicity both as a means of public information and of mass education and discipline. The beneficiaries must know if we, as trustees, are in serve and not merely to dominate and exploit them, reason of policy that the Chinese Delegation cannot share the objection of the British Delegation to the immediate publication of statements embodying final, and not purely tentative, views on a question of such commanding public interest as the anti-British Boycott. There is also a specific reason. For more than a year the British press and publicists have exacerbated the public opinion of the world adversely to Canton which has been consistently mis-represented as a centre of senseless hostility and agitation against the British.\n\nIt must surely serve the interests not only of historical truth but of this conference if fiction is replaced by fact, and public opinion is rightly informed as to the true Chinese reasons for the existing anti-British trouble in this territory. We, at any rate, believe in open diplomacy as a necessity of modern government and in publicity generally as the foe of the idols of Occidental prestige and Oriental \"face\" than which there are no greater obstacles in the transaction of international affairs in the Far East.\n\nIt is clearly not within the scope of this Conference to review the Shanghai shooting on May 30 in the sense of an immediate cause of the anti-British boycott in the Liang-Kuang. Reference was made to it in the Chinese statement as but one of the massive features of the **causal background** out of which sprang the tragedy of the Shameen on June 23. And it is strictly in this sense that we have to traverse the version of the incident set forth in the British statement and, referring to the so-called vindication of Inspector Evanson by the Shanghai Judicial Enquiry, to emphasize the refusal of the Chinese people as a whole to have anything to do with the investigation. We agree that \"previous experience was utilised in dealing with the anniversary crowd of May 30 at Shanghai, which conclusively proved that a Chinese crowd can be dispersed without invoking the application of the doctrine of the preventive measure. As regards what happened at Hankow the British statement is incomplete without a reference to the double fact that the Chinese crowd was unarmed save as to sticks and poles and that the British forces included British marines armed with quick-firing machine-guns.\n\nWe have stated and we repeat that the anti-British boycott has been the immediate and direct outcome of the shooting off the Shameen on June 23. This is the case. If the boycott is to be ended, its cause must be dealt with. But while a consideration of this cause involves the question of responsibility as a vital issue, it is impossible to accept seriously as evidence on the point the allegation that it was definitely stated in Chinese circles in Canton and Hongkong on June 23rd that an attack was to be made on Shameen on the following day, and prominent Chinese actually took refuge in Hongkong and made other dispositions to meet such an eventuality. This presumably is a repetition of part of the then British Consul-General's disputable story of the events preceding the actual shooting on June 23. The baseless reports in \"Chinese circles\" and \"prominent Chinese\" (wealthy and therefore unduly nervous) running to Hongkong for refuge should be accepted as evidence of a plan of \"attack on Shameen\" is rather a sad commentary on human credibility. But this Shameen gullibility also testifies to the existence of a state and condition of the official mind on June 23 which explains why the events of the day marched to their tragic ending. To the then British Consul-General, an attack on the Shameen was an article of faith and, naturally he detected the diabolic intention in most things that came within his range of vision during the fateful hours immediately preceding the enactment of the tragedy.",

SIR SHOU-SON CHOW Sir,-It is with deep sorrow that I endorse the remarks that have fallen from Your Excellency. My friendship with the late Mr. Ho Fook extends over a period of nearly twenty years and I always regarded him with esteem and admiration. A distinguished member of a distinguished family, he played no small part in the social and public life of the Colony during the last two decades. At the early age of twenty-six he was made a Justice of the Peace and so highly was his worth as a public man esteemed by the community that in 1917 the Government appointed him to be a member of the Legislative Council-the highest position to which a Chinese could aspire at that time. The outstanding characteristics of Mr. Ho Fook were simplicity of nature and ability to see more than one side of a question. He always brought to his official duties the same quiet energy and the same resourcefulness which so distinguished him as a business man. Although he nominally retired from public life about four years ago he never relaxed his interest in all matters concerning the welfare of the Colony. It was only about ten days before his death that he took an active part in a matter affecting the Chinese community and contributed materially towards its satisfactory settlement. Truly it can be said that he served Hong Kong faithfully and well to the end. On behalf of my Chinese colleague the Hon. Mr. Kotewall and myself and in the name of the Chinese community, I support the motion proposed and respectfully associate ourselves in the expression of sympathy with Mrs. Ho Fook and her family.\n\nThe motion was passed, all members of the Council standing.\n\nPapers\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY, by command of H.E. The Governor, laid upon the table the following papers:-\n\nOrder under section 7 of the Rating Ordinance, 1901, on 30th September, 1926.\n\nOrder under section 8 of the Naturalization Ordinance, 1902, on 7th October, 1926.\n\nRegulation under section 3 of the Post Office Ordinance, 1926, on 7th October, 1926.\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the second reading of the Bill intituled, An Ordinance to enable the Governor to appoint such person as he may please to be Registrar of Marriages.\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the Bill was read a second time.\n\nCouncil then went into Committee to consider the Bill clause by clause. No changes were made in Committee and upon Council resuming,\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the third reading of the Bill.\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the Bill was read a third time and passed.\n\nVolunteer Ordinance\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the second reading of the Bill intituled, An Ordinance to amend the Volunteer Ordinance, 1920.\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the Bill was read a second time.\n\nCouncil then went into Committee to consider the Bill clause by clause. No changes were made in Committee and upon Council resuming,\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the third reading of the Bill.\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the Bill was read a third time and passed.\n\nnext\n\n# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nHong Kong and Canton\n\nH.E. THE GOVERNOR-Gentlemen, Before the Colonial Secretary moves the first reading of year's Supply Bill, it is proper to state that the circumstances under which the budget was drafted differ considerably from those in which it is introduced. The budget was drafted at a time when this Colony was, for no fault of its own, subject to an anti-British boycott, instigated by Bolshevik intrigue and conducted in open defiance—I will not say of treaties—but of the most elementary principles upon which civilized society is based, and as a kind of guerrilla warfare. But on the auspicious \"Double Tenth,\" five days ago, the Canton Government declared this boycott to be at an end, and all armed strike pickets were withdrawn from the frontiers of this Colony and from Canton. The information at present in my possession would not justify a statement that anti-British manifestations in Kuang-tung have ceased, and the position at Swatow appears to be less satisfactory than at Canton. But it is certain that a very definite step has been taken by the Canton Government to curb the lawless activities of strike pickets, and we may reasonably hope that a determined effort will now be made by the Cantonese authorities to re-establish law and order in the territory which they control and to stamp out piracy and brigandage.\n\n58\n\nThereupon flourishing trade with the Liang Kuang provinces. Trade cannot flourish in these provinces unless law and order are maintained; and the maintenance of law and order postulates the existence of a strong and stable government. Hong Kong desires to see in Kuang-tung and Kuang-hsi a strong, stable and enlightened Government. Of such a Government we should gladly be close friends and staunch supporters.\n\nAnother matter which is near our hearts is to see the curse of Bolshevism removed from China. The ideas permeating Bolshevism are wholly alien to the Chinese mind: and a moment's thought should suffice to convince the Cantonese authorities that in the development of the Liang Kuang provinces by the peaceful and orderly processes of trade and commerce Great Britain and the British Colony of Hong Kong can give more effective and lasting assistance than can the Russian Soviet. We uphold ideals which are dear to the Chinese mind, peace, good government, commercial enterprise, learning and literature, loyalty to the honoured traditions of the past and an orderly advance towards all that the future promises. But the Bolshevik record is at present a blood-stained page of revolution, terrorism, anarchy and intestine war. The civilized mind recoils with horror from its contemplation; and throughout China, I am thankful to say, there is now a growing abomination of all that Bolshevism means. It is our earnest hope that the Chinese people may pluck out this evil by the roots and cast it from their country.\n\nI think I may safely say that this Colony's most ardent desire is to see law and order re-established, if possible in China as a whole, but at least in the Liang Kuang provinces. There has, since the downfall of the Manchu Empire, been enough, and more than enough, bloodshed in these two provinces. Civil war has raged almost incessantly throughout their length and breadth. Pirates have infested the coast, the delta and the principal inland waterways. Brigands have been a constant danger to the roads, the villages and even to large cities. Trade and travel have become hazardous. Life itself is nowhere safe. From all these horrors the Colony of Hong Kong was a secure haven of refuge and it, therefore, prospered exceedingly. But prosperity due to such causes cannot last. True and enduring prosperity for this Colony can only be founded upon flourishing trade with the Liang Kuang provinces.\n\nYoung China now-a-days is prone to neglect the classic lore of Ancient China. Nevertheless the rival War Lords would do well to remember the words of Sun Tzu, a writer on the war in the 5th century B.C., that \"there is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged war.\" Mencius, at a time when China was, as now, divided into many warring satrapies, is still more emphatic. He said: \"There are men who say I am skilled in warfare. I am not. Those who are skilled in battle are great criminals. Those who are skilled in battle should suffer exemplary punishment.\" The old philosopher Lao Tzu wrote:-",

As was reported, the Kuomintang Joint Conference recently decided to create Ministries of Communications and Justice, and Messrs. Sun Fo and Hsu Chien were mentioned as heading the new departments. Last evening a mandate was issued by the Government appointing Mr. Sun Fo as Minister of Communications and Mr. Hsu Chien as Minister of Justice. The same mandate orders the abolishing of the Judicial Administrative Committee (hitherto the highest judicial administrative organ in Canton) as soon as the Ministry of Justice be established.\n\nThe Nationalist Government issued another mandate last evening promulgating the constitution for the provincial government of Kwangtung, which is reorganized. Messrs. Chan Shiu-yan, T. V. Soong, Sun Fo, Hsu Sung-ching, Hau Pak-cheun, Li Chai-sum, Chan Fu-mok, Li Lok-chao, Chau Pei-chen, Mrs. Liao Chung-kai and Kam Nai-kwong are appointed members of the Provincial Government Committee of Kwangtung.\n\nAnother mandate orders the abolishing of the posts of commissioners for different administrative areas of Kwangtung.\n\nThe new Provincial Government of Kwangtung will be inaugurated to-morrow morning at the Treasury Building, when the new commissioners will take their oaths of office.—F. A.

(Reprinted from the Hongkong Telegraph of June 26th, 1925.)\n\nA Telegraph representative had an interesting chat with Mrs. J. D. Pugh, who until recently was temporarily on the staff of the Canton Christian College. Mrs. Pugh had crossed over to Shameen, and was staying with some friends for a day or two before coming down to Hongkong. Asked what was her impression of the tragic affair of last Tuesday, Mrs. Pugh said: “As one who has had an opportunity of watching the trend of events closely in Canton, I am convinced that the present chaos is simply the fruit of Bolshevism rampant. The students have allowed false sympathy to run riot, and, as a class, they prove an unfortunately fertile medium for the dastardly work of the Russian revolutionaries. From personal experience, I would say that the younger students were ignorant that last Tuesday's parade would end in bloodshed. I saw with my own eyes the expressions of horrified surprise on their faces just before they scurried away for cover. The elder students were without doubt quite aware of the intention of the cadets who brought up the rear of the procession, because their horrible antics denoted complicity. They jumped about yelling extremely hostile remarks towards Shameen, such as \"Kill the foreigners, cut their throats, cut their hearts out!\" Mrs. Pugh further stated that she had read the dispatches of Sir James Jamieson, and she would be prepared to swear on oath if necessary that everything therein was strictly true. \"I cannot understand how both Sir James and the British naval officer escaped from the rain of bullets which was deliberately fired in their direction, after an officer had given a signal which caused the cadets to face Shameen and open fire.\"\n\n( 21 )\n\n## APPENDIX L.\n\nStatement made by Miss Julia Meadows, an American Missionary. (Reprinted from the South China Morning Post of 1st July, 1925.)\n\n\"The firing on the Shameen was deliberately started by Chinese students under the leadership of a Russian. For the preservation of lives the firing was returned.”\n\n## APPENDIX M.\n\nIn view of the Resolutions issued by the American Staff of the Canton Christian College on June 24th, the following letter of June 18th, which appeared in the China Press, is interesting.\n\nSir,-As citizens of our own countries, also working in a college that seeks to promote the welfare of the Chinese nation and foster international friendship, we wish to say something, however inadequate, about the present situation in China, especially in view of recent events in Shanghai.\n\nWe find it impossible to express with sufficient emphasis how deeply we regret that these things should have happened.\n\nWe are not competent at the present juncture and with the information at our disposal to pass judgment and assign responsibility for these particular actions; we were not present and we do not know the full facts. We do, however feel that in addition to expressing our sympathy with all those who are suffering, the time has come to make clear somewhat more publicly what we have often less formally said to our Chinese friends and among ourselves-that, historically, the policies.",

(Reprinted from the South China Morning Post.)\n\nDear Mr. Baxter,\n\nMay I say that your published statement implying some measure of responsibility for the resolutions passed by the Americans at the Canton Christian College, June 24th, and published in the papers as such, must have been due to some confusion as to the various meetings held and documents drawn up.\n\nThese resolutions were those of the American staff and were drawn up and passed at a meeting held just after you had left the grounds. They should therefore in no way involve you.\n\nI should like to add that the Americans in that meeting did not know that their own nationals, the American Marines, were not responsible for a full share of the fighting. At that time we supposed that they most probably were, but we had no idea that the British would afterwards be singled out as the responsible parties. I still see no reason for that development since other nationals were involved.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\n(Sgd.) H. B. GRAYBILL.\n\n(31)\n\nAPPENDIX S.\n\nLetter dated the 30th June from Mrs Pugh. (Reprinted from the Hongkong Telegraph of 1st July, 1925.)\n\nSir,\n\nSince your representative interviewed me, I have had several chats with three or four members of the staff of the Canton Christian College, and I am sorry to say that they appear to still persist in their attitude proclaimed in the surprising letter signed by \"Seventeen Americans.\" One of them told me that it was necessary to defend the Chinese, right or wrong. \"Right or wrong?\" I replied, and the answer I received was, \"Yes, because if we didn't the Chinese staff would ask us to resign upon our return when the trouble is over.\n\nMr. Baxter, who bore the brunt of the whole thing, has not received any support from the other signatories; in fact, one of the seventeen told me that Mr. Baxter has already been requested to resign. I am writing this because I believe that it should be widely known that most of the signatories to the letter of protest are still defending their action as just, although how they can reconcile their consciences is quite beyond me.\n\nYours, etc.\n\nELIZABETH PUGH.\n\nHONGKONG, June 30th, 1925.\n\nHONGKONG, June 27, 1925.",

Mrs. Atwell was appointed to the Staff in September for physical culture. This subject was quite new to the girls; we were therefore rather apprehensive as to the reception it would be given, but were quickly reassured as the girls showed their enjoyment from the first, and its beneficial results soon became apparent. It is noticeable that the games with which the lessons close tend to promote a larger measure of free play amongst the pupils during the hours of recess and it may generally be said that the deportment of the girls has distinctly improved.\n\n## LIBRARY\nA small room has been arranged as a library and a study for the senior pupils.\n\n## GENERAL SCHOOL ACTIVITIES\nThe Victoria Nursing Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigade still continues to be a very live interest in the school. Dr. Minett lectured during the year on First Aid and Home Nursing: in October fourteen candidates were examined by Dr. Hickling and all passed. Members attended two parades in 1926, one on the occasion of H.E. the Governor's inspection and the other on the investiture of His Excellency by H.R.H. Prince George. Pupils have expressed a wish that the School should become identified with the Girl Guide movement, and three members of the Staff together with two former pupils are training as officers with this end in view. It is hoped that patrols will be formed in March and the School is grateful to Mrs. Remington for the help she is giving.\n\nAn Old Girls' Association has recently been formed. This new manifestation of esprit de corps is most welcome, and the work Miss Lewis has done in connexion with the Association is much appreciated.\n\nYet a further departure is the founding of a School Magazine, which will be produced twice yearly.\n\n## CONCLUSION\nIn conclusion I desire to place on record my appreciation of the harmonious atmosphere which has existed during the period under review. I cannot speak too warmly of the loyalty of all branches of the Staff, and of the support extended to me throughout the year. Such whole-hearted co-operation has considerably lightened the work of administration, and I feel constrained to tender my thanks to all concerned.\n\nH. F.

        "content_text": "## The Belilios Public School Girl Guides Company\n\nThe Company holds a weekly meeting at the School every Wednesday from 4.45 to 5.45; this is followed by a Leaders' meeting until 6.15. A court of honour takes place on the first Wednesday in the month.\n\nThere are now three Patrols, the Carnation Patrol with Miss Tso as leader, the Narcissus Patrol under Miss Wei, and the Chrysanthemum Patrol led by Miss Fok. In its earlier stages the Company was under the charge of Miss Wanklyn, but she and Miss Trotter left for England at the beginning of March, greatly to the regret of all the Guides. Mrs. A. C. Way was then appointed to the Captaincy of the Company, with Miss Olivia Xavier (transferred from the 1st Hongkong Company) and Miss D. Lopes as Lieutenants.\n\nMrs. Way resigned on May 1st for reasons of ill-health, and Miss Xavier was appointed Acting Captain.\n\nThirteen members of the Company were present at the Cathedral Service on Empire Day, when five companies under Mrs. Southorn and escorted by the President, Lady Clementi, attended. Lady Clementi paid an unofficial visit to the Company on April 18th and she came accompanied by Mrs. Remington.\n\nThe account of the formation of a Girl Guide Company at Belilios cannot be complete without reference to the never-flagging interest and enthusiasm shown by Mrs. Southorn, and it is largely due to her inspiration and encouragement that B.P.S. has its Company of Guides.\n\n## The Belilios Old Girls' Association\n\nAlthough it has had a life of only six months, the Belilios Old Girls' Association has established itself and has grown with a vigour that proves without doubt how welcome it was. In the past the Old Girls have come back occasionally to visit the School and those who have had sisters or cousins at school have come often, but there was never a definite bond between the past students themselves and the School. The year 1927 is therefore memorable in that the B.O.G.A. has come into being.\n\nThe first meeting was held at the School on January 5th; as a result of it the Association received its title and arrangements were made as to its constitution. There are four Officers of the Association, elected annually at a General Meeting. For this year they are:\n\n| Position | Name |\n| --- | --- |\n| President | Miss Skinner |\n| Vice-President | Miss Lewis |\n| Hon. Secretary | Mrs. B. R. Kew |\n| Hon. Treasurer | Miss Heang |\n\nThere is also a Committee elected annually, of which the following are members:\n| Name |\n| --- |\n| Miss Sheen |\n| Miss Lopes |\n| Miss Bertha Yuen |\n| Miss Fok Kum Ho |\n\nThere are to be four meetings in the year; a picnic in the summer, a Christmas party, an annual dinner, and a lecture and friendly meeting in the summer.\n\nThus no great part of the year will be allowed to go by without a reunion of the Old Girls. The objects of the Association are stated to be \"to promote social intercourse among its members and to maintain and strengthen the feeling between past and present pupils of the school\"; and judging by the success of the meetings already held these objects are well fulfilled. The first meeting was a Chinese dinner which was combined with a farewell to Miss Skinner, who was due to leave for England a few days later. The dinner took place on February 16th, and was an unqualified success; the cheerfulness of the meeting was in pleasant contrast to the inclement weather without. The arrangements for the dinner were well made and the two classrooms used were gay with decorations; for these Miss Heang, Miss Lopes, and Miss K. H. Fok were responsible. The menu was in the care of Miss Bertha Yuen, and the tables were laid for forty guests. The Medical Officer for Schools, Dr. Minett, was amongst those present. The dinner itself was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Shortly after the beginning the Hon. Secretary, Mrs. Kew, rose to propose the health of Miss Skinner. Miss Skinner in the course of her reply spoke of the widening of the School activities as shown in the setting up of the B.O.G.A., and of the pleasure it gave her to be present at the Inauguration Dinner. She thought that a number of those present must have been at Belilios in the time of Mrs. Tutcher, the first Head Mistress, and Miss Skinner spoke of the satisfaction that Mrs. Tutcher would have felt at the sight of such a gathering which was representative of the whole history of the School. At her suggestion pens and paper were produced forthwith, and a message of greeting was written to Mrs. Tutcher, bearing the signatures of all present. This was sent, and we print here a copy of Mrs. Tutcher's reply:",

        "content_text": "# To my Old Girls.\n\nMy dears,\n\n**Hotel International, Nice.**\n**3.4.27.**\n\nFor old times' sake, when sheaves of your examination papers used to pass through my hands (sometimes giving me great pleasure, and sometimes the reverse), I thought I must send you my message on foolscap. But it is almost impossible for me to express what I am feeling, for I have not yet properly assimilated the fact of the great honour you have done me in making me one of the Patrons of the new B.O.G.A. I send you my most grateful thanks for that, and for sending me your signatures to gladden my old heart, and to remind me as I read over the list of names of many things connected with each one of you which come back to me in association with your dear names. I have been mentally putting each one of you before me as I read, and am astonished to find how much of the past comes to my memory, and such a pleasant past. Had it been possible I should have liked to send a separate letter to each of you, but you will understand that this collective acknowledgment means just as much. That your new Association may prosper is the dearest wish of your old friend, **E. TUTCHER, Patron, B.O.G.A.**\n\nTo return to the dinner; when the meal was over, a short informal concert was given, songs being sung by Mrs. Gutierrez, Miss Olivia Xavier and Miss Mow Fung; we greatly enjoyed all the songs.\n\nThen followed games, including strenuous musical chairs, made all the more exciting because the chairs showed a distinct tendency to turn round with the players. Then someone was inspired to think of a flash-light photograph, and while we waited for this to be taken we sang part songs with great fervour under the direction of Miss Xavier. We gave a most spirited rendering of old favourites like \"Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree,\" familiar to Guides, and \"Three Blind Mice\"; and we extended our knowledge of the Chinese language by wrestling with the Chinese Version of \"Three Blind Mice,\" best written, I think, as \"Sam ko mang lo shü.\" Unfortunately we could not agree on the whole verse, so we must wait for the next B.O.G.A. dinner to complete our knowledge.\n\nAfter the Photograph had been taken, the meeting ended with \"For she's a jolly good fellow\" and good wishes to Miss Skinner; then with \"Auld Lang Syne\" and a vote of thanks to Miss Lewis, the Vice-President of the Association.\n\nIt was altogether a delightful evening, and great credit for its success must be given to those responsible for the arrangements.\n\n## THE B.O.G.A.'S SUMMER PICNIC\n\nIt was originally intended to have an outing to Shatin by train on the 11th June, but unfortunately owing to the poor response from members, due no doubt to the very warm weather, it was decided to have a launch picnic instead.\n\nOn the 17th June, a party of over 60 members and their friends left Queen's Pier by a double-decker launch at 5.30 p.m. for Seaton. The journey took about ¾ of an hour, by which time the swimmers had donned their bathing suits ready for the water. These spent a very enjoyable dip, especially the children, of whom there was a large number. Those who did not swim went ashore and spent a very pleasant time rambling in the garden and on the slopes of the hills around Seaton. Upon returning on board, refreshments were served, the catering being in the hands of Messrs. Lane, Crawford. During the journey home, the songsters rendered several items, and it was not until a late hour that the merry party returned to Hongkong.\n\nThe outing was a decided success, so much so that members voted for another one. This second picnic took place on the 30th June, but it was not so well supported, as at the last moment the weather looked threatening and kept quite a number of subscribers away. However, the keener members braved the elements and the launch duly sailed at 5.30 p.m. when fortunately the weather cleared.\n\nThe venue this time was a small bay near the Kowloon Docks. The swimmers found the water very enjoyable and everybody spent a most pleasant afternoon. This time the catering was kindly undertaken by Miss Delminda Lopes, who unfortunately could not attend at the last moment owing to the death of her cousin. She has the sympathy of all B.O.G.A. members. Miss Marian Yuen very kindly came forward and volunteered to look after the catering and she made a very energetic and capable substitute.\n\nThe Editor of the Belilios Journal hopes to make the Magazine a means of keeping the Old Girls of B.P.S. in touch not only with the present girls but with their own contemporaries. In every Magazine there will be a section devoted to the meetings of the B.O.G.A., but we would like to have one part also for the news of Old Girls themselves. Members of the B.O.G.A. are therefore urged to send to the Hon. Secretary of the Association any news of themselves which will be of interest to their friends; this will be passed on to the Editor of the Belilios Journal. News of engagements and marriages, of new positions gained, of new work...",

We also have been taught how to vaccinate a person. When smallpox cases occurred in Hongkong, we volunteered to vaccinate the poor people. From now on, we will have our First Aid and Home Nursing Examinations alternately every year, as long as we belong to the division.\n\nThus, we have found that this St. John Ambulance Association not only teaches us to help our injured neighbours but also makes us very useful to our households in time of peace, as well as to our country in time of war. Therefore, we hope that other Chinese girls' schools in this Colony will someday turn their attention to the art of Home Nursing for the benefit of our own country and countrymen.\n\n## Uma Tarde\n\nCerto dia tarde, quando um velho árabe voltava a casa, encontrou no caminho uma pobre mulherzinha a chorar e na maior aflição, porque alguém lhe roubou um saco de farinha.\n\nComo naquele sítio estavam algumas barracas habitadas pelos árabes, o velho árabe suspeitou que um deles tinha praticado o roubo. Ele então deu ordens para que todos os árabes que aí estavam aparecessem.\n\nE disse-lhes que possuía um remédio eficaz para descobrir o ladrão, e para isso era necessário que todos se submetessem a uma prova, senão que fizessem queixas às autoridades. Todos eles negaram terminantemente, mas submeteram-se à prova da seguinte maneira: O bom árabe cortou alguns pedacitos de palha, todos do mesmo tamanho, e distribuiu a cada um deles um pedaço. Depois, de uma maneira muito misteriosa, disse-lhes: - Cada um de vocês precisa guardar este pedaço de palha até ao dia seguinte e depois o traga para cá, a fim de eu os medir, pois um bocadito de palha havia de crescer durante a noite uma polegada na pessoa que fez o roubo. Quando os árabes apareceram na manhã seguinte, o verdadeiro criminoso cortou o seu pedacito menos uma polegada, porque tinha receio do bruxedo, e assim foi descoberto o roubo, e o saco de farinha foi restituído à mulherzinha.\n\nTradução feita pelas seguintes alunas de classe portuguesa: Bertha Remedios, Frankie Gomes, Cissie Santos.\n\n## 21\n\n### A LAUNCH PICNIC\n\nIt was so hot on the 29th of May that we decided to arrange a launch picnic. Some of our friends were invited. We met at the Queen's Pier, started off in a launch at 3:30 p.m., and went to Repulse Bay.\n\nThe day was fine, the water was smooth, and the breeze, as it blew past us, had a refreshing and cooling effect. From afar off, we saw the sun shining on the water, which sparkled like many silver stars. Some white clouds travelled slowly above our heads, while others clung to the mountain tops.\n\nAn hour had passed before the bay was in sight. Having changed into our bathing costumes, we waited until the launch was at anchor, then we got down into the water. The water was cool and lovely. There were many swimmers; the men were dressed in black or dark bathing costumes, but there were lady swimmers with their many coloured swimming costumes. The colours were so bright that the water of the bay was like a mixture of colours instead of a greenish one. Groups of two or three were seen lying on the sand sun-bathing. We swam and played in the water for a long time, then went back to the launch. Tea was prepared by our friends who were on board. While we were taking our tea, the launch sailed homewards.\n\nBy that time, the sun was setting in the west, casting its rays over the sky like a huge, many-coloured fan, while the waves danced like so many coloured beads; the clouds close to the sun formed a mixture of colours that was very pleasing to the sight. As we went on, the night fell. The lights in the fishing junks near by were like the stars in the sky. The scene was so lovely that I can hardly describe it. Soon the harbour was in sight. The harbour of Hongkong has been praised by many tourists, but even we, who live in Hongkong all our lives, could not help praising its beauty. The lights cover nearly all the hills, and they cast a beautiful reflection upon the harbour.\n\nWe landed at 7:30 p.m. and went home. Thus ended one of the most pleasant days in our lives.\n\n**CHEUNG YUK CHAN, Class 1**\n\n### DESCRIPTION OF THE SUNSET\n\nThe sun is glowing along the western hill, and the sky is as blue as the ocean; while the clouds near the setting sun are slowly disappearing behind the hills. Still, the sun...",

        "content_text": "## 28 \n\n**THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A PAIR OF SPECTACLES** \n\nI am a pair of spectacles, so people call me, and I think everyone in the world knows what a pair of spectacles is. Spectacles is the name given to my family, and as I have no particular name, I just call myself Spectacles. \n\nI cannot remember much about my childhood and my parents. Someone told me that I was an orphan when I was a baby. There is one thing that I shall never forget in my life, that is, I was burnt, cut, put into moulds, and pierced by some sharp-pointed thing by the cruel creature—the man. At last, I was framed in a golden frame, and put into a glass case in an optical shop. This was the happiest time in all my life. \n\nI looked very handsome and fashionable in my frame; I was free, I had many friends there, and I had little work to do; I talked and slept as I liked, and nobody interfered with me. \n\nOne day, a customer came into the shop. I was put on his nose for a short time, and I tried my best to help him to see clearly, for that was what he wanted me to do, I thought. He liked me very much, and bought me for about twenty dollars. I was then put into a shining metal case and brought away by him. \n\nHe was a young, learned man, and never was angry with me. Every day he wiped me with a piece of snow-white cloth gently, and I helped him to see every tiny thing distinctly. I tried to learn how to read and write from him, though he never taught me a single word; and this is why I can write my story now. \n\nI was with him for about seven years, then he said I was out of fashion, and really I was, for people were wearing another kind of spectacles then; but my looks had never changed, I never grew old; it was people's sight that had altered. He locked me in a drawer, and bought another pair of my family; and this was not unkind of him, for one should follow the fashion. \n\nI do not remember how long I have been locked up. I have never been touched since then. I can see no friends, no relatives, nothing at all except myself and the shining metal case in which I am. I long to see the world, the stars, the moon, the sun, and the clear, blue firmament again. But it is impossible, I think. Then I wish to die, and it is also impossible, for I have heard that a pair of spectacles will never die however ill he may be. Oh, what shall I do? I write my autobiography during my solitary hours, and I hope I can find some other things to do when I finish writing this. Oh, may people have constant minds and let nobody suffer in the universe! \n\n**SUNG NGAN LUI. Class 1.** \n\n## A FABLE \n\nThe crow which the Chinese called \"Wu ah\" lived with her friend in the roof of a house for a few weeks. Every day, when she stood on her nest, she would cry out \"chuck chuck.\" Her voice was so hateful that people in the opposite house would stare at her and the little children throw stones at her. For it was and is said that the voice of a crow is an omen of misfortunes, and most people believed in this. \n\nIn the verandah of the house where the little children lived, there was a canary in a cage hung on the wall. \n\n\"Mrs. Crow, what are you talking so busily with your friend?\" the Canary asked. \"I am talking about moving, Mr. Canary,\" she answered. \"Why!\" the Canary said, \"it seems quite a peaceful place for you to live in.\" \n\n\"So you may think,\" said the Crow, \"but there's something you don't know.\" \"May I hear it?\" asked the Canary. \n\n\"The children in your house always throw stones at me whenever I speak and make it uncomfortable for me to live here,\" said Mrs. Crow, \"If this goes on, my life will end.\" \n\n\"But why should they dislike your voice?\" asked the Canary. \"Because,\" said she, \"people believe that the voice of a crow foretells bad happening.\" \n\n\"If that is the only reason, there is no need for you to move. It's the same wherever you go, for it is your voice that troubles you. If you don't want to be disturbed, you must change your voice, if not, the only thing you can do is be careful when you speak,\" advised the Canary. \n\nThe Crow, after listening to these words, felt shamed and was speechless. \n\n**TSE TONG TAI, Class 2.** \n\n## IMPRESSIONS OF EXAMINATION WEEK \n\nThe most uneasy time which every student has to pass through is examination week. When I went to sit for my first examination at the University, I felt rather worried at the beginning as everything had to be well prepared a few days before.",

They have, however, no real grievance against Great Britain or Hongkong, and if they desire to promote a patriotic object, how can they do so better than by giving their support to projects for the development of Kuang-tung Province? That would be real patriotism, whereas the demand for strike pay is merely a request that the individual labourer be paid for his patriotism. I suggested to Mr. Sung that he should discuss with the Canton Council of Government a proposal for settlement on these lines, and also use his influence with the Strike Committee to obtain the consent of the labourers to such a scheme. Mr. Sung, whose attitude was most friendly and cordial throughout, agreed that he would do this directly he got back to Canton.\n\nThis morning I informed the Executive Council of this conversation and the members unanimously concurred in the suggestions I had made to Mr. Sung. I do not know whether Mr. Sung will carry the matter further. If he does, I shall inform you by telegram; and I should in any case be glad to learn from you by telegram, when this despatch reaches you, whether HM's Government would agree in principle to negotiation on these lines.\n\n4.\n\n5.\n\nI may add that Mrs. Sun arrived in Hongkong this morning but left immediately for Canton, as she wished to get there before nightfall.

        "content_text": "# SECRET\n\n## NUMBER AND DATE SHOULD BE QUOTED IN REFERENCE TO THIS LETTER\n\nSir,\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 8th January, 1926.\n\n190\n\nWith reference to my secret despatch of yesterday, I have the honour to inform you that Mr. Sun Fo arrived in Hongkong to-day, having travelled from Shanghai in a ship other than that which brought Mrs. Sun, who is not his mother, being the second wife of the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen. He called at Government House and took tea with me, bringing with him General Ng T'it-sheng. There were also present Mr. A.G.M. Fletcher (who leaves for Ceylon tomorrow), Mr. E.R. Hallifax (who will succeed Mr. Fletcher as acting Colonial Secretary), Sir Shou-son Chow, and Mr. R.H. Kotewall.\n\n2.\n\nWe had a very friendly conversation. Mr. Sun Fo told me that he proceeds to Canton tomorrow; that he still regards himself as being a member of the present Canton Government, from which he was absent on leave during his stay in Shanghai, and that he expects to resume the post of \"Minister of Reconstruction\" in the Kuang-tung Province. He spoke as if he had been out of touch with Cantonese affairs for some time and he certainly was not au fait with the recent developments.\n\nThe Right Honourable Lieutenant Colonel L.C.M.S. Amery, M.P.,\n&c.,\n&c.,\n&c.",

Accordingly Mrs. Sun has published a communique for the information of all Chinese of her sex.\n\n\"To all my dear sisters. Our country was very wealthy a century ago, and the people were very well off. How happy they were, living and pursuing their occupations in peace! But now we are in quite a different condition. The country is in fact full of poor peasants and workmen, toiling all day long in a miserable condition. They cannot earn enough to support their families, and we can see everywhere starving people benumbed with cold. What has brought about this condition? Perhaps none of you knows it. It is the economic victimisation the Imperialists have practised on our country which has ever made business so dull for us. The most serious exploitation of us they have practised has been by means of the unequal treaties. The first of all unequal treaties with foreigners, was contracted in consequence of the opium wars, I refer to the Nanking Treaty (1842), by which 5 commercial ports were opened. It is over 80 years since then, and many more ports have later been opened to commerce. When the Sino-British Commercial Treaty was made in 1842, we lost in addition our Tariff Autonomy, and because of that we have no power to check the influx of foreign goods.\n\nLater",

It is not likely that all this enormous number of banknotes will be issued, for the Bank is not likely to last long. No bank whose sole object is to find money for military expenditure (such as that of this Central Bank) can gain the confidence of the people.\n\nMembers of the Nanking and the Hankow Governments.\n\n## 23. \nThere is nothing to choose between the men in the Hankow Government and those in the Nanking Government. Sun Fo, Wong Ching-wei, Hu Han-min, Koo Ying-fan and even Mrs. Sun Yat-sen are all of the same nature. Is not Sun Fo the son of Sun Yat-sen? Is not Sung Ching-ning the widow of Sun Yat-sen? Was not Wong Ching-wei one of the most trusted followers of Sun Yat-sen? How is it that these three persons find themselves in the Wuhan camp, while two other equally trusted followers of Sun, Hu Han-min and Chiang Kai-shek, are in the opposite camp? The answer is, because they each and all work for self-interest, for power and gain. Such people, no matter how closely they may be working together for a time, are bound to fall out in the end.\n\n-- Eugene Chen.\n\n## 24. \nEugene Chen has given his soul to Borodin.

He has no backbone; the backbone that he has occasionally shown was a prop furnished from behind by someone else.\n\nPage 40  \nPage 41",

        "content_text": "INTERVIEW WITH SECOND ENGINEER.\n\nMR. D. S. GOLDIE.\n\nThe Second Engineer, Mr. D. S. Goldie, was seen leaving the ship in company with Mrs. Goldie who had come to meet him, and very kindly gave a few interesting facts to the Daily Press reporter. He was in a hurry to get home, and could not say very much. He was down in the engine-room at the time, and a little after eight bells in the morning watch, when he was due to be relieved he came on deck, only to be confronted by a pirate with a revolver. Resistance was useless. He was taken to the mess where he found his fellow officers in the same predicament. The pirate who covered him with the revolver, spoke Chinese and later made signs which Goldie finally understood meant that he wanted his revolver. The pirate ransacked the cabin and found it. He also helped himself to other articles in the cabin. Later Mr. Goldie was sent down to the engine room with the other engineers, and saw little of what happened after that. However, he remarked that the Second Officer (Mr. J. G. Forster) was rather lucky. He was shot at on several occasions by the pirates, but fortunately all the shots went wide. Mr. Goldie said that he met the pirate chief who spoke excellent English.\n\nHOW THE \"YUENG SHING\"\n\nFOUND OUT.\n\nSecond Officer P. F. Shaw, of the Yueng Shing said that their launch was at anchor in Samun Bay just off Bias Bay, when the signalman at the Signal-Station on shore informed them that the s.s. Tean was heading towards Bias Bay in a suspicious manner. They immediately weighed anchor, cleared for action, and pursued the s.s. Tean to Bias Bay. On drawing close to the Tean they noticed that H.M.S. Somme was there at anchor. The Tean suddenly swung right around, and headed for a little cove between Bluff Point and Lok Sui Point. There she stopped and as the Yueng Shing came up they fired several shots across the bows of the pirated ship. The pirates lowered two life-boats and made for shore. The Yueng Shing then came alongside the Tean and took control of her. Meanwhile two armed parties under Capt. W. H. Poole and Mr. Shaw were landed and pursued the pirates. It was rough at the time and one of the stolen life-boats was smashed while being beached. A suitcase, which contained the loot sank with the boat but was later salvaged. The pirates herded their captives ashore, and tried to escape inland. One of the passengers was unable to keep up with them and he was pushed over a cliff, and fell to the bottom, a distance of 300 feet. He was found later by Mr. Shaw and taken back to the s.s. Tean. Meanwhile the pirates were pursued and shots were exchanged. The pirates saw that they were being overtaken and left their prisoners and fled, dispersing in all directions. Most of the loot was recovered and the passengers and officers were taken back to the ship. The s.s. Yueng Shing then accompanied the s.s. Tean to Hong Kong.\n\nSUPERINTENDENT OF CHINESE CUSTOMS.\n\nAmong the passengers aboard the s.s. Tean, who were taken ashore by the pirates was Mr. Ping Kwan Foo, Superintendent of Chinese Customs at Hoihow. He was accompanied by a friend at the time, who was also taken prisoner. These two gentlemen were rescued by the party under Mr. P. F. Shaw.\n\nThe Loot.\n\nThe pirates were not very satisfied with the loot they made. It is estimated that the robbers' total haul was something about $12,000, of which $4,000 was in cash. The balance was made up of jewellery and clothing. When they were chased by the pursuit party from the Yueng Shing the pirates dropped a suitcase containing $3,000 which has been recovered.\n\nThe European Passengers.\n\nAmong the three European passengers were Mr. and Mrs. Drummond. Mr. Drummond is connected with the A.P.C. at Hoihow and was coming to Hong Kong with his wife. It is understood that Mr. Drummond had been through a piracy ordeal previously. He was asleep last night and as our representative was told that he and his wife also had a very trying time, he was not disturbed.\n\nSeveral Suspects Detained.\n\nIt is understood that several men were detained by the Police on suspicion.\n\nThe s.s. Tean, is one of the China Navigation Steamers, and has for years plied between Haiphong, Hoihow and Hong Kong. At the time she was carrying a cargo of cattle and general merchandise. The local Agents of the vessel are Messrs. Butterfield & Swire. She is commanded by Captain E. H. Histed, with Mr. J. Roberts as Chief Engineer. Other officers are: Chief Officer, Mr. A. Mills; 2nd Officer, J. G. Forster; 2nd Engineer, D. S. Goldie; and 3rd Engineer, Mr. J. J. Thompson.\n\nPage 158",

        "content_text": "## 13.\n\nThe fighting which is inevitable between Chiang Kai-shek and the Kwongsi-ites would be most unfortunate for the country. Let me now tell you a bit of inside history. Towards the end of last year, Chiang Kai-shek came to a secret agreement with Feng Yu-hsiang for an alliance against the Kwongsi-ites, as Chiang was bitter against Peu Chung-hsi. Mrs. Li Chung-jen, who is a great personal friend of Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek, heard of this arrangement, and the Kwongsi-ites immediately set to work with the help of Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek to counteract Feng Yu-hsiang's influence, with the result that Chiang dropped the scheme, leaving Feng isolated. Yen Shi-shan, who is not a friend of Feng's, heard of this also, and exerted his influence with Chiang against Feng Yu-hsiang, which made Chiang less anxious to ally with Feng, whom in reality he suspects and fears. When Feng Yu-hsiang found himself forsaken by Chiang, he left Nanking on the plea of ill-health, and gave out that he was going abroad to recuperate.\n\n## 14.\n\nIn the meantime, the Kwongsi-ites realised how perilous their position had been, and set to work to improve it. They found that they would not be safe even in Hunan as long as Lu Ti-ping, a nominee of Nanking, was at the head of the government of the province. They therefore had him removed by what they conceived to be a constitutional method, so that they would not have an enemy in their own home, as it were, should there be fighting between them and Chiang Kai-shek. This move came as a surprise",

They were resisted by the officers and guards, and a fierce fight ensued, resulting in a number of casualties. The first officer, Mr. R. Perry, was wounded, and the third officer, Mr. K. A. Woodward, was killed by a shot through the heart. Two Indian guards, several Chinese passengers (among them a small girl), and a number of the pirates were killed.\n\nAt least six Chinese passengers were wounded and a score injured. The pirates finding they could not capture the bridge set fire to the ship. While the fight was proceeding some of the crew and passengers launched a lifeboat, which capsized, several persons being drowned.\n\nThe master, Captain Ø. H. Farrer, succeeded in sending out a wireless message stating what was happening, and the British destroyers Sterling and Sirdar, which happened to be in the vicinity, went to the rescue. The Sirdar placed a party aboard the Haiching, arrested all the Chinese, and put out the fire. The Haiching was brought in here by the warships this evening. The local police went on board, and the wounded, numbering 26, were sent to hospital. Nearly 300 passengers were detained in order that the pirates, six of whom were known to be among the wounded, might be sorted out. The ship bore signs of the fierce encounter, which lasted for an hour.\n\nMr. G. C. Perdue, who is a Hong-kong police official and was on board the warship, was accidentally shot in the foot by a naval rating.\n\nPage 14A \n\n# TIMES \n\n10.12.29 \n\n## THE HAICHING PIRACY \n\n### GALLANT DEFENCE BY THE SHIP'S COMPANY \n\n(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT) \n\nHONG-KONG, DEC. 9 \nOn the arrival here of the British steamer Haiching, which had been the object of a piracy off the Chinese coast [as reported in The Times yesterday], the authorities would allow no one to go on board; nor would they give any account of the fighting which had taken place on that vessel. It was not until this morning that particulars became available.\n\nThe surviving officers give graphic accounts of how the pirates, finding that the element of surprise had failed and their efforts to get past the grille, which was defended by Indian guards, were unsuccessful, made three attacks on the bridge. Only one man reached it. He shot down Mr. Woodward, the third officer, and was in turn shot down by Mr. Perry, the first officer. The pirates suffered heavily under the steady fire of the officers and guards. When the steamer was set on fire by the pirates, who poured kerosine oil over the deck, the defenders found themselves in a perilous situation. The bridge began to burn from below and was rapidly becoming untenable when, just after dawn, the British destroyers arrived.\n\nIt is stated that a big ship passed within four miles of the blazing Haiching but failed to come to her assistance. The identity of this vessel is unknown. The Chinese wireless operator stuck to his post throughout, and, in fact, the whole crew, some of whom were killed, behaved in a most gallant fashion.\n\nAmong the passengers were three American women, Mrs. J. W. Campbell, 70 years old, and her daughters, Louise and Dorothy, who are connected with the Baptist Mission in the Swatow district. They were coming to Hong-kong. When the fire was at its height they approached a lifeboat [which afterwards capsized] in which some Chinese were getting away, but there was no room in it for them, and they awaited their fate most calmly. They were later rescued unhurt.\n\nMr. Woodward was buried this afternoon, and was accorded full naval honours by the orders of Vice-Admiral Sir Arthur Waistell, Commander-in-Chief, China Station, who visited the Haiching this morning.\n\n**A Lloyd's message from Hong-kong says that the Haiching reached port under her own steam. Her superstructure was damaged by fire; holds Nos. 1 and 2 were burnt out and the cargo destroyed.**\n\nPage 30\nPage 31",

        "content_text": "# THE TIMES, FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1929\n\n## COURT PROCEEDINGS\n\n'This is my garage.' \n\nThe witness said nothing. \n\n## CHILD LABOUR IN THE EAST\n\nLORD LYTTON, who presided, said the work of the International Labour Organization of the League of Nations was helping the peoples of the world to realize their responsibilities for the conditions under which manufactures and foodstuffs were produced. The history of Britain's factory legislation had shown what abuses could arise in the early industrial organization of a country and how even parents might connive at the enslavement of their children. Generally speaking, in all the industrial countries of Europe legislation had been introduced for the protection of women and children, and in those countries conditions of their employment were approximating to something like a general standard. In countries in the East which had become industrialized, and in others which were in course of becoming industrialized, conditions existed analogous to those which had passed in the West. Voluntary societies were keeping alive public opinion on the question, with the advantage of the experience of the countries of the West to guide them. Though Japan had not ratified the Forty-eight Hours Convention, restricting the hours of employment of women and children, that country had introduced many reforms.\n\nLADY CHATTERJEE, wife of the High Commissioner for India, said that under the stimulus of industrial developments conditions were changing rapidly in certain areas in India. Overcrowding in tenements was one of the results, with a consequent high death-rate. The infantile death-rate under one year for Bombay was 316 per 1,000 births, but in certain wards it was between 300 and 500 per 1,000 births. The infantile death-rate for 1927 was 326 per 1,000 in Calcutta. Improvement trusts in both Calcutta and Bombay had improved housing conditions very considerably for industrial workers, and recent legislation, largely influenced by international labour conferences, had improved very considerably the lot of women and children by restricting the working hours and age of employment. Two difficulties that hindered the further expansion of industry were lack of imagination and the ignorance and apathy of the workers themselves. To overcome the illiteracy of the workers meant making primary education compulsory throughout India. What was needed was realization of the fact that the problems of industry were not the concern only of the organizers of industry or Government, but of the nation as a whole.\n\nDAME ADELAIDE ANDERSON, dealing with women and child labour in China, mentioned that the new draft legislation of the Nanking Government for factories provided for the establishment of a factory inspectorate, which alone marked the proposed legislation as a more serious plan than that of the defunct Peking Government. She described the existence of a world-wide system of slavery so far as women were concerned. In many parts of the world women were still regarded as property, and it was time that women were given equal representation on all committees of the League of Nations to deal with such problems.\n\n## LABOUR SYSTEMS ANALOGOUS TO SLAVERY\n\nMR. E. BATESON, a former Judge of the Egyptian Mixed Courts, presided at the afternoon session during a discussion on \"Labour Systems Analogous to Slavery.\" \n\nMR. W. BENSON, member of the Diplomatic Division of the International Labour Organization at Geneva, stated that it was expected that next year the International Labour Conference would adopt a series of international agreements relating to forced labour, but the ratification of any convention by national Parliaments would depend on the public opinion aroused in the countries represented.\n\nMR. CHARLES ROBERTS said he thought that through the channel open to them at Geneva people of good will in all countries had a lever in their hands to raise industrial conditions throughout the world.\n\nMR. JOHN H. HARRIS, Secretary of the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines' Protection Society, declared that there were three outstanding instances of slavery to-day—the natives around Lake Chad, the pearl divers of the Persian Gulf, and the \"mui tsai\" of China. Among systems analogous to slavery he mentioned the prevalence of \"pawning\" in Liberia and Sierra Leone, where a person could put a relative in pawn for a period in return for a sum of money. An officer whose duty it was to deal with a certain form of slave traffic, which involved the sale every year of some 5,000 boys and girls, had suggested to him that one of the best preventive measures would be for the Powers to fix a limit of ages for pilgrims who should be allowed to go to Mecca. This, the officer thought, would stop parents from India, the East Indies, and Africa taking their children to Mecca for sale.\n\n## AUTOMATIC TRAIN CONTROL\n\nColonel A. C. Trench, in his report to the Ministry of Transport on the accident at London Bridge Station on December 27, when a steam train from New Cross Gate to London Bridge came into sidelong collision with an electric train, stated that responsibility rested with the driver of the steam train, who made a mistake in reading the signal in error for an adjoining one.\n\nThe Inspector stated that the support of one of the girder structures for overhead electric wires was displaced and a portion of a girder fell on to the roof of another electric train. Some of the parapet wall of the viaduct was thrown into the street. Four trains were involved, but owing to the officials' prompt action none of the succession of accidents was serious.\n\nHe thought that a possible cause of the driver's error might have been that for a moment he forgot on which line he was travelling. He could only describe it as a serious case of careless driving, which fortunately was unattended by graver results.\n\nThe accident provided a strong case in favour of automatic train control in congested areas with dense traffic. Up-to-date installation of colour light signalling was particularly conspicuous. If an experienced driver carelessly permitted himself to misread such indications, owing to momentary mental aberration, and if disciplinary measures failed to have the necessary deterrent effect, it seemed difficult to provide against failure of the human element other than by automatic means.\n\n## DOMESTIC SLAVERY IN CHINA\n\nThe REV. W. W. CLAYSON, a missionary, dealt with the question of domestic slavery in China. He described in particular the \"mui tsai\" system, by which poor parents, under economic stress, sold their children into domestic slavery. The best Chinese opinion was opposed to the system, and the Nationalist Government's programme provided for its abolition.\n\nMR. CHARLES ROBERTS, president of the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines' Protection Society, stated that seven years ago Mr. Churchill gave a pledge on behalf of the Government to abolish the “mui tsai” system in Hong Kong, but his society had discovered quite recently that it was still in force. He appreciated the Government's difficulties in dealing with the private households of Chinese in Hong Kong, but he thought it was fair to expect the redemption of the pledge and the removal of the scandal.\n\n## HOUSE PURCHASE SWINDLER SENTENCED\n\nSentence of 12 months' imprisonment, in the second division, was passed by the Common Serjeant (Sir Henry Dickens, K.C.) at the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday on ARTHUR LEAF, 41, an estate agent, formerly in business at Southend, who was found Guilty of fraudulently converting to his own use £375 and £450 entrusted to him for the purpose of purchasing houses at Southend. He pleaded \"Not Guilty.\" Mr. Tindal Atkinson prosecuted; Mr. Claude Grundy and Mr. P. M. Beecheno defended.\n\nIt was stated by Detective-sergeant Fletcher that Leaf was unemployed for some time at Southend, and he acted as chairman and spokesman of the local unemployed. Later he carried on various small agencies.\n\nThe COMMON SERJEANT directed that £200 found in Leaf's possession on his arrest at Grimsby, should be divided equally between the two complainants.\n\n## LONDON POLICE COURT\n\nTwo youths, a 10-year-old page boy and an 18-year-old porter, appeared at London Police Court charged with stealing by finding a gold ring stated to be worth £45. They said they picked it up in Glasgow. They came to London to get work, and the police, no owner having come forward to claim the ring, numbers of people having inquired about it, and in fact, Glasgow people seemed to have given it up (Laughter.), the youths were bound over in the sum of £5 on condition that they left London.\n\nMRS. PETHICK-LAWRENCE, Women's Freedom League, said that underneath all questions of forced labour and contract labour there was... \n\nPage 148",

From time to time we have received reports from complainants calling for our help, and in response we have never failed to come to their assistance. Among these we may mention those who have been freed and returned to the custody of their parents without being required to give a refund to their masters or mistresses. These are the daughter of Poon Fung Lin, the daughter of Mrs. Kan, and Lau Choi-ying. There have been some cases in which the mistresses tried to demand big sums of money as redemption from the mui tsai's parents, and through the Society's influence they promised to give up their demands, when some institution intervened with arbitration, making the parents pay half the redemption; these being the cases of So Cheuk-Kiu, Li Hung, and Tse Sham-koo. This was, of course, much against our will and purpose, which always aims at complete emancipation by acting on the Government's instructions without paying any redemption, or any part of it, by the parents.\n\nVery often reports of cruelty had been found true and confirmed by inquiries made by the Society, but the detectives sent by the authorities to make the necessary enquiry would return with contrary reports and entirely different stories. With a view to overcoming this difficulty, however, the committee of the society has approached the Government to get permission to allow our English secretary to go together with the detectives to make enquiry into any case dealt with by the Society, so that the real state of affairs may be investigated and a true and reliable report be made. But whether this step of procedure will be approved still remains to be seen.\n\nSupport Needed.\n\nMeanwhile, should any case of cruelty occur, our committee would have no right to interfere and investigate unless the case should also come to the notice of the police authorities. At a meeting of the committee last month, a resolution was unanimously passed that the Government be approached again in order to enforce the registration of mui tsai, so that present ones might be given safe protection, while the sale of innocent daughters as slave girls might also discontinue. This is what we have done so far in furthering our cause, and we now enlist your support and assistance.\n\nAs to the financial standing of the society, it is by no means sound as its income depends largely on subscriptions from its members. Some time ago we started to collect the subscription for this year, but the results were poor and rather disheartening. Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Ma Luk and Mrs. Fung Heung-chuen, our efforts were rewarded, for they each donated $50 to the Society's funds. The expenditure of the Society is rather small, since we have only to pay for advertisements, printing, and some stationery. However, the work of the Society is decidedly burdensome, and it is up to you to see it through; therefore whether we can achieve our object of getting rid of this inveterate social evil depends on how you will respond to the appeal voiced by us now.\n\nThe Discussion.\n\nThe chairman invited discussion on the proposals he had outlined in his opening address in regard to the registration of both mui-tsai and adopted daughters.\n\nA member said that they should enforce registration through a penalty clause and he pointed out that such had been overlooked in the proposals. He suggested that failure to register within the prescribed period of six months be penalised by a heavy fine, to be followed by the giving of complete freedom to the girls without such consideration as compensation to the owner.\n\nAnother member said that much effective work could be accomplished by personal investigation as in the case of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He discovered a similarity in the work of the two Societies with the exception that theirs had the greater claim to official backing, in the fact that it was a human being whose life's burden they were seeking to lighten. The authorities had displayed a praiseworthy attitude when they co-operated with members of the S.P.C.A. in these personal investigations. He recalled that quite recently, lady members of that Society went round to the various bird-shops in the town to look into cases of cruelty and that they were on that occasion accompanied by a police officer. If the same procedure was adopted in their own case, and members of the Anti-Mui-tsai Society were allowed to accompany a police officer in order to investigate fully a report of cruelty, much of the objectionable features to which reference was made by the Chairman in his speech would cease.\n\nElection of Committee.\n\nAfter further discussion it was agreed to incorporate this suggestion as well as the one for a penalty clause, in the main body of proposals. In their revised form, the proposals were then put to the meeting and passed, the meeting giving full powers to the Executive Committee to present them at the proper time before the authorities.\n\nThe revised Articles of Constitution of the Society, which had been in the hands of members for some time, were also passed.\n\nThe election of members of the Executive Committee was then proceeded with, and some 30 members were appointed. The Chairman proposed the appointment of Mr. J.D. Bush as Hon. English Secretary. The post was a responsible one, and Mr. A.G. Anderson, who recently resigned from it owing to pressure of business, deserved the thanks of the Society for the able manner in which he had filled it. Mr. J.D. Bush was unanimously appointed Hon. English Secretary, and Mr. Ngan, Hon. Chinese Secretary.\n\nBefore the meeting terminated, the Chairman said it was their unanimous hope that the aims of the Society would soon be realised, and he urged the newly-elected members of the Committee to do their best to bring this about. The mui-tsai system had existed in their midst as an evil. It was always condemned and put out of the law by the Chinese Nationalist Government in a recent edict and he hoped that the Government of this colony, which had been responsible for many beneficial reforms, would not be long in falling into line and dealing with a practice which admittedly had many evils.\n\n28",

THE GOVERNOR\nDoes any hon. member desire to address the Council?\n\n## HON. MR. P. H. HOLYOAK\nYour Excellency, I crave your permission to dilate somewhat more at length on the remarks which I made in the Committee stage of the Bill at the last meeting of the Council, namely, on the gross misrepresentations of fact which have been made almost throughout the public press at Home, in what I can unhesitatingly describe as a malicious campaign of propaganda,-whether for political purposes or otherwise I know not; but I do know that statements have been made quite publicly at home in connection with this subject which ought not to remain unchallenged by this honourable Council in defence of the fair name of the Colony and the good government which it represents. If the statements of wholesale slavery and of the selling of slaves were as true as they have been depicted, then, Sir, I think there is little doubt that it would stand for a judgment not only upon each successive Governor of the Colony who has allowed it to remain but upon the British people of the Colony who have lived under it for the last 70 years. I am not concerned, however, in discussing in detail the subject of mui-tsai. I have voted already for the first reading of the Bill and I am prepared to vote for its final stages, principally because it adds to the annals of the Colony and the laws of the Colony, an Ordinance which is in keeping with other Ordinances of the British Realm. For my own part I do feel sincerely that in a large degree it was perhaps unnecessary because, in practice and in spirit, officially and otherwise, the practice has never received official sanction from beginning to end in the history of The Colony and therefore it seems unnecessary to legislate on the subject. Nor would it have been necessary but for the gross misrepresentation in an agitation representing a somewhat horrible state of affairs which, in fact, does not exist in practice and in the experience of those of us who have lived very many years in this Colony and who know somewhat of the inside of Chinese affairs. I do not think the situation of the mui-tsai in a Chinese household differs so very largely in actual practice from that of a similar practice obtaining at home of adopting an orphan from one of the many orphanages and using her as a domestic assistant and providing her with home, food and clothing Nor do I think that the ill-treatment which has been so largely described to us is any more widely-spread than that revealed in the ordinary practice of a Magistrate's Court in any large town in England. It is because I have so recently come from home and because both from press and platform and even from pulpit one has heard such atrocious mis-statements of fact that I feel they cannot be passed without challenge by this Council, affecting as they do the reputation of the Council and the reputation of the Colony.\n\nPage 80\nPage 81",

        "content_text": "# THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1929.\n\n## D. REGISTRATION MUI TSAIS.\n\n(Continued from Page 4.)\n\nWe concentrate our attention on the problem of all problems, namely Mui-tsai and social evil. It is our heartfelt desire to fulfil our duty as citizens, to relieve poor innocent girls of their misery and to warn their oppressors against breaking the law. We cannot but hope that they will awaken to their duty to humanity and cease from doing evil. As long as the Mui-tsai system exists, it will be a blot on future local generations. It only remains for me to urge you to help uphold a good cause, and spare no pains to support great principles, to win over more members to the Society, and if possible, to report every possible case of cruelty so that the enforcement of registration of Mui-tsai may soon be an accomplished fact.\n\n## SECRETARY'S SPEECH.\n\nMr. J. D. Bush said the Chairman had touched on many valuable points in his speech, and no better figure could illustrate his undying devotion to the cause than that of the true knight of old, who was on his oath and honour to rescue and save his oppressed lady. He feels that it is as much his duty to defend the weak and redress the injured, as it is of the savage and the brutal to usurp and use others.\" Mr. Bush continued:—\n\n### Tribute to the S.C.A.\n\n\"In passing, it may be also mentioned that more gratifying results have been achieved than hitherto in representations made to the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs concerning cruelty or ill-treatment of Mui-tsai or bond girls. During the past six months, most cases have been taken up and examined with the quickest despatch.\n\n### Mrs. Haslewood on Registration.\n\nThe Chairman has dealt at length with the question of registration. It only remains for me to quote these words of Mrs. Haslewood, relating to the same issue, during a conference held at the British Commonwealth League. They urged registration. They said that it was the only way to find out how many there were, where they were, and how they were. They may be doing it now, but we have not heard so. At the docks, when the Chinese flow in from Canton, they should be made to register at once and not allowed to land unless they make a complete and true registration.' Then Mrs. Haslewood was asked the question, 'Is it true that there is a British officer whose job it is at the ports to ask certain girls who are being sold for definite purposes, whether they are satisfied with their conditions?' Mrs. Haslewood's reply was:- 'Absolutely true. They have been taught what to answer for weeks beforehand under the most dire penalties. There should be a Chinese Christian woman there to talk to these children, and assure them that they have nothing to fear if they tell the truth.' Another question was: 'Are there homes ready to receive the children?' to which Mrs. Haslewood replied:- 'There is a refuge (Po Leung Kok). It is a most soul-less official place, which no timid child would dream of going to. I begged years ago for a nice refuge, run by English people, who would try to help the children. It is badly needed.'\n\n\"I have no doubt many of you at this meeting can readily visualise in your mind's eye the mountains of difficulty surmounted and the stern trials met by the Chairman during the past eight years. In return for his efforts in this Steyphian task, he has reaped only invective and hatred and been branded, perhaps, as a fomenter of trouble. I make mention of this fact by way of telling you how un-deserved I am of the tribute that the Chairman has paid me. The credit rests entirely on him for devoting all his time and energy to this great task of emancipating the Mui-tsais of the Colony.\n\n### The March of Progress.\n\nAt this stage, it seems to me that the issue of abolishing the Mui-tsai system still hinges on the ancient struggle between 'may' and 'must,' the conservative and progressive. Those who insist on conservatism aim at holding fast or advancing at a snail's pace. The progressive reformer goes for the better, for the ideal. In short, one is inclined to lay stress on keeping still and the other on advancing. But advance we must, for that is the law of life. We must change for the better in every way, day by day. As the great American philosopher says, 'Over and above all the mists of poverty and appetite is the instinct of man to rise, and the instinct to love and help his brother.' The same philosopher also tells us, 'If slavery is good, then is lying, theft, arson, homicide each and all good, to be maintained by union societies.' As practical idealists we are bound to range on the side of humanity and Justice and burn our boats upon the review.\n\n### CANTON'S CO-OPERATION.\n\nIt was pointed out at the meeting that one of the arguments against registration was that it was difficult to enforce. If, for instance, a Chinese family came from Canton to Hong Kong, it would be difficult to differentiate between the daughter of the family and the Mui-tsai, and that would mean that every one would have to be stopped and questioned on the pier or landing place.\n\nThe answer to this objection, it was pointed out that in Hong Kong there are laws against smuggling and in order to prevent it an elaborate search system has been installed and heavy penalties inflicted when delinquents were caught. The same could be done with wilful evaders of registration. It was also pointed out that the authorities in Canton are working towards the amelioration of the position of the Mui-tsai and a Social Welfare Bureau had been recently established. The local body hoped to get in touch with both the Canton Government and the `Ruzer11`.\n\nThe Chinese secretary in reviewing the year's work pointed out that a number of people have shown their willingness to support the Society and some have written in offering their advice, amongst them being Mr. Yau Lit, who is now living in the New Territories, and who had once been a colleague of Dr. Sun Yat Sen.\n\n### No Better Solution Than Registration.\n\nIt is a question, then, whether the Mui-tsai shall be gradually emancipated, by finding the best solution possible, or let them go on being regarded as chattels or as pieces of money. We have time and again invited the best-thinking citizens of the Colony to offer a better solution than registration, but up to this moment none has ever come forward with a more effective remedy for the festering evil. Instead, some few carping critics have stood by the roadside croaking at us with this cynicism: 'Virtue, I have followed thee through life, and I find thee but a shadow.' As virile idealists we cannot allow the Mui-tsai system to be upheld for the convenience of a few. As the Chairman has intimated, we must not grow weary of well-doing. We should push on with the good work.\n\nSince the last annual meeting of October 22, 1928, the Society has been able to establish close co-operation with The Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society in London, and the British Commonwealth League, the primary object of which is \"To secure Equality of Liberties, Status and Opportunities between men and women in the British Commonwealth of Nations. Thanks to the kind efforts of Mrs. C. B. L. Haselwood and Commander C. B. L. Haselwood, R.N. (Retired), we are able to get in the closest touch with the above organizations and allied Societies which take a serious view of all issues relating to equal citizenship.\n\nIt was also announced that Dr. Ma Luk had made a generous donation to the Society and that the Chinese Press are co-operating by inserting advertisements, free of charge.\n\n## BRITISH AVIATION TRIUMPH.\n\n### REMARKABLE ENGINE IN SEAPLANE FOR HONG KONG.\n\nThe Manager of the Far Eastern Aviation Company, Mr. Vaughan Fowler, has received information that the Cirrus Aero Engine Company, London, one of whose engines is fitted in the Avian Hermes seaplane, due to arrive here next week, won a remarkable triumph at the Newcastle Air Pageant on October 5.\n\nCirrus engines won the following air races:-\n| Cup | Position |\n| --- | --- |\n| Society of British Aircraft Constructors' Challenge Cup | 1st, 3rd |\n| Grosvenor Challenge Cup | 1st |\n| Air League of the British Empire Challenge Cup | 1st, 3rd |\n\nThe fastest time of the day was obtained by a Cirrus-Hermes Widgeon. It will be remembered that the Hermes is the latest development of the Cirrus and gives 105/113 h.p.",

Armt/Q.M.S. Grossman R.A.O.C. and Armt/Staff/Sgt. Biss R.A.O.C. presented themselves for examination and both candidates carried out all the tests in a very efficient manner. The examination is by no means an easy one, and it reflects great credit on these two candidates that they gained a very high percentage of marks in all the tests.\n\nThe examiners are having a busy time this week; on Sunday last, a class of four candidates from the 20th Heavy Battery R.A. was examined at Stonecutters, and did very good work in the Proficiency Certificate and Bronze Medallion Examinations. This is a good start at Stonecutters, and it is hoped to see many more of those fine swimmers gaining the Society's certificates.\n\nDuring this week, another class of K.O.S.B's. are being examined for Bronze Medallions, and a Silver Medal Examination is also being held. This activity among the Services plainly shows that the Society's Awards are worth going out for, not merely for any intrinsic value, but for the useful knowledge gained.\n\nThe following recommendations have been forwarded to London:\n- Award of Merit: Armt/Q.M.S.

The Italian Cycling Champion, Alfredo Binda, created a new world record for the 50 kilometres, which he covered in 1 hour 10 minutes 43 seconds.\n\n**100 Miles Unpaced**\n\nAdelaide, Sept. 24. Hubert Opperman created a new cycling record for 100 miles unpaced on a dirt track at the Payneham oval today. His time was 4 hours 39 min. 34 sec., beating the Australian previous best by 8 min. 8 sec., and the world's record by 23 min.

After several unsuccessful efforts by other boats, a Yarmouth steam drifter landed a giant tunny yesterday morning at Scarborough and confirmed the story of other fishermen that there are many of these giant fish off Scarborough.\n\nIt measured about nine feet nine inches, and its estimated weight is between 600 and 700 lb. It was caught about fourteen miles east by north of Scarborough at eight o'clock and landed on the lighthouse pier at noon.\n\nThe skipper, Mr. King, fed the tunny with herring, whilst S. Nicholls, of Great Yarmouth, hooked it with a special hook he made himself. Above sixty fathoms of thick 2½ in. rope was paid out after the giant had been hooked, and it took an hour before the tunny was hauled up to the bow of the vessel.\n\nNicholls said that they had dumped three or four this trip, but decided to bring this one in to prove the contention that the tunny is much more plentiful off Scarborough than sceptics admit.\n\nThe demand for talking pictures apparently shows no abatement. Up to August 24, the Western Electric apparatus had been installed in 165 British theatres, and it is estimated that the number will reach 600 by the end of the year.\n\nMiss Maisie Gay, the English character comedienne, who has reached London, is frankly critical of Australian stage methods. She says that she went to Australia with \"This Year of Grace,\" but was sent to play in \"cheap vaudeville and revue and involved in all sorts of arguments.\" Never in her 27 years on the stage had she experienced such treatment. Despite her appreciation of Australian audiences, she would not dream of going to Australia professionally again. She had known artists who were ready to wipe the slate as long as they got their fares to England.\n\n\"I received definite instructions to go to New Zealand,\" she said. \"I gave up my flat in Sydney, but within 24 hours the management altered the plans seven times. The Australians are charming people, but I had to go 13,000 miles to meet experiences which are unique in my stage life.\"",

        "content_text": "# OUTSIDE THE CITY HALL.\n\n## CROWD AND ROYAL GUARD.\n\n(2)\n\n### Expectant Crowds.\n\nIn perfect unanimity, the blue-jackets and soldiers were called to attention. Then the crowd swayed expectantly as the noise of an approaching motor-cycle was heard. The arrival of a Chinese detective with a European colleague in the sidecar caused warning commands to be given. Long before the anticipated time of the arrival of His Royal Highness at the City Hall, little knots of spectators began to gather. At 10.15, a detachment of bluejackets arrived, led by a tall bearded Commander. The fickle sunshine glinted upon their polished bayonets and the brass fittings of their accoutrement. They lined the approaches to the City Hall and the crowd watched their movements with intent interest.\n\nA bevy of ladies took up a position of vantage on seats to the front of the parade ground opposite the City Hall, and employees of the various banking institutions in the vicinity forsook their desks and ledgers to watch the proceedings from verandahs. The rhythmic beat of drums, the skirl of pipes, and the measured tread of marching feet announced the arrival of the Royal guard provided by the K.O.S.B.\n\nThe swing of red kilts caught the eye as the detachment swung into the square formed by the blue-jackets, and the click of heels, slap of hands on rifle butts, and the crash of arms upon the ground followed the hoarsely-shouted commands as the guard came to attention at the halt, turned right and formed two-deep, ordered arms and stood easy.\n\nA brief respite, and then came a slight shuffling in the centre of the lines as the guard were called to attention and dressed by the right. \"Present Ar-r-r-ms!\" \"Swish! Click! Slap!\" As one man, the guard became galvanised into action, sloped arms, and stood steady, awaiting the next command.\n\n### Four Big Cars.\n\nAlmost silently, it seemed, four big cars swung into the square. Guards were called to attention as a tall, blue-sashed figure clad in white uniform, bedecked with medals, stepped out of the leading car, accompanied by His Excellency the Governor, their Aides-de-Camp, and Chiefs of Staffs.\n\nCame another command, rifles clashed as the Guard presented arms, the colours were lowered in Royal salute, and then the band crashed forth the strains of the National Anthem. The Duke had arrived. Followed an inspection of the Guard, and then the party entered the City Hall for the presentations of addresses of welcome.\n\nThe electric candelabra caused the gold braid of the naval and military officers on the platform to glitter and added brilliance to the scene. Obviously pleased with his reception, His Royal Highness took his seat after the band of the Punjabis had played the National Anthem. Came a brief hush as His Excellency the Governor, Sir Cecil Clementi, rose and bowed to the Duke. The Governor then briefly introduced His Royal Highness and called upon Sir Henry Pollock to present the address of welcome from the British community.\n\nAs the moments passed, the crowd around the City Hall increased and the fortunate ones who possessed tickets of admission into the Theatre began to arrive in little groups, the brilliant dresses of the ladies setting off the trim morning coats, silk hats, and striped trousers of their consorts to the best advantage.\n\nLow-lying clouds swirled around the top of the Peak and many anxious glances were directed skyward. But rain held off and, occasionally, the rays of the sun penetrated the grey panoply overhead. The crash of guns broke the expectant stillness and reverberated among the hills, and the distant strains of the National Anthem, followed by echoed cheers, indicated to the crowd that His Royal Highness had landed at Statue Pier.\n\nAt similar functions at Home, one could exchange good-humoured badinage with the proverbial \"London Bobby,\" but, on this occasion, we who waited had to be content, for obvious reasons, to admire the pipe-clayed topees of the blue-jackets and the burnished instruments of the band.\n\nThe address was an exceedingly skilful piece of illuminated work on parchment. The casket containing it was contained in a silver and blackwood casket made by Messrs. Lock Hing from a design by Lieut. Col. L. G. Bird, D.S.O., O.B.E. The casket bore on its lid the Arms of the Colony, in silver, whilst the front was embellished with a representation of a Chinese junk in full sail, also in silver.\n\n## AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE.\n\n### GIFTS FROM CHINESE AND JAPANESE COMMUNITIES.\n\nOn arrival at Government House, Prince Henry inspected detachments representing the St. John Ambulance Brigade under command of Mr. E. Ralphs, the Girl Guides under Commissioner Mrs. W. T. Southorn, and of Boy Scouts under Commissioner the Rev. T. G. Waldegrave, who were drawn up on the lawn. The Prince stopped and spoke to Mr. Ralphs and enquired the strength of the Brigade and what work they were doing, and also addressed a few words to Mrs. Southorn and the Rev. T. G. Waldegrave.\n\nThe Royal Visitor was then entertained to tiffin at Government House, following which two presentations were made to him on behalf of the Chinese and Japanese communities. Sir Shou Son Chow on behalf of his compatriots presented a Chinese porcelain dinner service with a blackwood tray inlaid with silver and suitably inscribed. The Consul-General for Japan, Mr. Y. Murakami, presented, on behalf of the Japanese community, two albums of photographs of beauty spots of his country which the Prince will visit during his stay.\n\n## POLO AT CAUSEWAY BAY.\n\nThursday afternoon's polo games at Causeway Bay attracted a considerable number of residents to the scene. Of ten chukkas, His Royal Highness played in four. Rain threatened at intervals but did not fall in real earnest until the end of the ninth chukka. The ground made going hard for the ponies but, nevertheless, there were many thrills for the onlookers and riders.\n\nThe commanders of the naval and military detachments exchanged salutes and then both parties stood quietly at ease, awaiting the arrival of His Royal Highness.\n\nThe first chukka in which H.R.H. appeared resulted in a win for his side. Comyn took a shot passed to him by H.R.H. and scored neatly. The Duke's side scored the first goal in the next chukka but the Whites speedily equalised and scored a second time toward the end of the chukka.\n\nThe Duke rode a stocky grey and appeared to find it difficult to get fully away at times. He made some fine shots on occasion. His mount for the next chukka was a speedier animal and enabled H.R.H. to give a fine display of his riding powers. On one occasion, he took the ball and rode down the field with it at a fast pace and almost scored for the Reds.\n\nThe address from the Chinese Community was mounted on a massive blackwood screen of four panels, standing some six feet in height. This screen, which was specially made in Canton, was beautifully carved and on the opposite side of the panels bearing the Chinese text of the address there were typical embroidered silk designs representing birds, animals and rural scenes. Accompanying the Chinese version of the address was an English translation, enclosed in a blackwood case inlaid with silver. The address was read by the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow.\n\nDuring the brief interval which elapsed between this chukka and the next, H.R.H. chatted for a few moments with the umpire, Mr. W. D. Fiddes Wilson.\n\nIn the seventh and last chukka in which H.R.H. played, the Reds won by two goals to nil. The first goal was scored by Thomas, the Duke sending the ball between the posts for the second goal.",

E. the Governor.\n\nThe Prince is staying at Government House as the guest of His Excellency.\n\nThe following guests were entertained by His Excellency at dinner at Government House on Thursday evening:- H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, Mrs. Southorn, Hon. Mr. Creasy, Mrs. Tratman, Captain Whyte, Mr. Dyer, Very Rev. Dean Swann, Mr. Thomas, Mrs. Dyer, Hon. Comdr. Hole, Mrs. Skinner, Hon. Mr. Southorn, Mrs. Creasy, Hon. Dr. Wellington, Captain Has-\nkard.\n\n## Japanese Fireworks\nAll points of vantage in the city, on the Praya Reclamation in Wan-\nchai and in the open spaces in Kowloon were thronged with people at night, when the Japanese community entertained His Royal Highness, the Duke of Gloucester with a fireworks display.\n\nThe fireworks started at 10 p.m. and the display was kept up for an hour. Altogether about fifty rockets were fired and the colour combinations produced pretty effects. Red, blue, green and white lights were the predominant shades.\n\nThe rockets were discharged from the Volunteer Parade Ground at intervals of about three minutes and a strong westerly wind carried most of the lights past the city to the Western district, where the Chinese scrambled for the remains of the rockets as they came to earth. Each light is suspended on a paper parachute which is weighted down with a good number of cash and it is this last which is naturally the main cause of the scramble for the parachutes.\n\n## GUESTS AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE\nThe following were guests at Government House:- \n| Name |\n| --- |\n| Sir Robert Ho Tung |\n| Lady Ho Tung |\n| The Earl of Airlie |\n| Mrs. J. R. Wood |\n| His Honour Mr. Justice Wood |\n| Lady Marcia Miles |\n| Hon. Mr. Hynes |\n| Mrs. Ferguson |\n| Colonel Skinner |\n| Colonel Bird |\n| Major Miles |\n| Captain Kerr |\n| Mr. Scott |\n| Captain Sillitoe |\n| Captain Perfect |\n| Mr. Ferguson |\n| Mr. Tratman |\n| Mrs. Swann |\n| Hon. Dr. Tso |\n| Mrs. Tso |\n| Commodore Hill |\n| Mrs. Wellington |\n| Mr. Arbuthnot |\n\n## AT FANLING\n### INFORMAL FOURSOMES PLAYED\nThe Duke of Gloucester enjoyed a quiet foursome at Fanling on April 26, partnered by the Hon. Mr. Major-General Sandilands and Mr. E. Elles partnered Mr. H. L. Smith against Rear-Admiral Meade and Capt. the Hon. W. S. Leveson-Gower, while the Earl of Airlie and Mr. R. H. B. Hancock played against Mr. Lloyd Thomas and Mr. A. Cameron. The foursomes were quite friendly and informal, and no scores were taken.\n\nIncluding His Royal Highness and H.E. the Governor, the majority of the party wore khaki shorts, drill jackets, and khaki topees.\n\nOn arrival at Fanling, the Royal party were welcomed by Mr. L. S. Greenhill, Captain of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club, and members of the Committee.\n\nLieut. Col. E. D. Matthews, secretary of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club, who had gone out overnight to make arrangements, was in charge at Fanling, where the distinguished visitors were entertained to tiffin.\n\n## Interest In Kowloon\nWhen H.R.H. passed at 9:30 a.m. on Friday morning along Nathan Road on his way out to the Fanling Golf Course very few people were about. However, Sir Cecil Clementi had given notice that he would be passing about that time and thousands lined Nathan Road waiting patiently for his arrival.\n\n## \"TO MEET PRINCE HENRY\"\n### GARDEN PARTY AT H.K. CRICKET CLUB GROUND\n### PAVILION BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED\n\"His Excellency the Governor requests the pleasure of your company at a Reception on the Ground of the H.K. Cricket Club on April 26, at 4:30 p.m., to meet His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester, K.G., G.C.V.O.\"\n\nTwo thousand members of the colony of Hong Kong were thrilled to receive a large card headed with the Royal crest in gold which invited them to meet Prince Henry. And the joy spread further, for frock and hat shops were invaded in order that the ladies of Hong Kong might do honour to the Prince.\n\nMeanwhile the Committee of the Cricket Club had also been busy, and their lovely ground was transformed by banks of flowers, the pavilion hung with bunting, and flag-decked marquees erected in a large semi-circle round the outskirts facing towards the pavilion. In the marquees tea and refreshments were served to the guests, while in front of the pavilion, behind a row of magnificent pot plants, was the \"high table\" and a series of striped umbrellas, at which His Excellency the Governor sat with the Guest of Honour and the Government House party.\n\nThe Prince was received inside the pavilion by Mr. R. Hancock (President) and members of the Committee of the Club, and appeared on the steps with Sir Cecil Clementi at about 4:50 p.m. His appearance was heralded by the band of the K.O.S.B., who were grouped in the middle of the ground, playing \"God Save the King.\"\n\nHis Royal Highness was introduced by H.E. the Governor to the Government House party and then went forward to shake hands with a number of Indian officers who were lined up to meet him, before sitting down to tea.\n\nDuring the tea interval the Pipe Band and the Regimental Band of the K.O.S.B. played alternately. The Pipers marching up and down as they played, with their kilts and ribbons swinging, added considerably to the gay and picturesque effect.\n\nThe following were Sir Cecil Clementi's guests at tiffin on Thursday at Government House :- \n| Name |\n| --- |\n| H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester |\n| Mrs. Waistell |\n| The Rt. Rev. the Bishop of Victoria |\n| General Sir Hugh Elles |\n| Captain Whyte |\n| Mr. N. S. Brown |\n| Capt. Wolfe-Murray |\n| Mr. Hornell |\n| Hon. Sir Shou Son Chow |\n| The Earl of Airlie |\n| Mrs. Shenton |\n| His Honour Sir H. Gollan |\n| Hon. Mr. Shenton |\n| Mr. Braga |\n| Mr. Alabaster |\n| Captain Kerr |\n| Captain Sillitoe |\n| Mr. Scott |\n| Colonel Comyn |\n| Mr. Thomas |\n| Hon. Sir Henry Pollock |\n| Hon. Mr. Mesny |\n| Mr. Murakami |\n| Mrs. Strachey |\n| General Sandilands |\n| Lady Pollock |\n| E. Admiral Waistell |\n| Lady Chow |\n| Hon. Sir Joseph Kemp |\n| Mrs. Kotewall |\n| Admiral Meade |\n| Hon. Mr. North |\n| Mr. Li Yau Tsuen |\n| Captain Strachey |\n| Captain Perfect |\n\nAs the crowds of women and children broke through the barrier and rushed onto the pier waving and cheering to the Duke who smilingly replied by raising his hat and waving in return, the scene, with the gay frocks of the ladies, the green grey buildings and big trees, may have reminded H.R.H. of the beautiful grounds of Buckingham Palace.\n\nOur representative was told that His Royal Highness was immensely pleased with his trip around the New Territories, and deeply interested in all that he saw.\n\n46 \n14",

        "content_text": "# \nI regret to say that we have not succeeded in influencing the Government to put through the registration of mui-tsai with the proper authorities, and consequently this cursed system has not yet been wiped out from the community. Reports of cruelty and ill-treatment to mui-tsai are no less often heard than before. As our attempt failed at the eradication of this evil, we have now directed our efforts to cope with it by way of diminishing the individual cases of cruelty. We have advertised in two vernacular papers to the effect that all suppressed mui-tsai who have been badly treated by their masters or mistresses may appeal to this Society and make the complaint to the Chairman, who would then bring their grievances before the Government and have them redressed. The complainants may state their names and addresses, which the Society will undertake to keep confidential. At this juncture, I have the pleasure to mention that the expenses involved in such advertising for the whole year have been defrayed through the generosity of Dr. Ma Luk, to whom our hearty thanks are due.\n\nNot in Vain.\n\nThis advertising of our cause and appeal to the public has not been in vain, and has carried its weight wonderfully. From time to time we have received reports from complainants calling for our help, and in response we have never failed to come to their assistance. Among these we may mention those who have been freed and returned to the custody of their parents without being required to give a refund to their masters or mistresses. These are the daughter of Poon Fung Lin, the daughter of Mrs. Kan, and Lau Choi-ying. There have been some cases in which the mistresses tried to demand big sums of money as redemption from the mui-tsai's parents, and through the Society's influence they promised to give up their demands, when some institution intervened with arbitration, making the parents pay half the redemption; these being the cases of So Cheuk-Kiu, Li Hung, and Tae Sham-koo. This was, of course, much against our will and purpose, which always aims at complete emancipation by acting on the Government's instructions without paying any redemption, or any part of it, by the parents.\n\nVery often reports of cruelty had been found true and confirmed by inquiries made by the Society, but the detectives sent by the authorities to make the necessary enquiry would return with contrary reports and entirely different stories. With a view to overcoming this difficulty, however, the committee of the Society has approached the Government to get permission to allow our English secretary to go together with the detectives to make enquiry into any case dealt with by the Society, so that the real state of affairs may be investigated and a true and reliable report be made. But whether this step of procedure will be approved still remains to be seen.\n\nSupport Needed.\n\nMeanwhile, should any case of cruelty occur, our committee would have no right to interfere and investigate unless the case should also come to the notice of the police authorities. At a meeting of the committee last month, a resolution was unanimously passed that the Government be approached again in order to enforce the registration of mui-tsai, so that present ones might be given safe protection, while the sale of innocent daughters as slave girls might also discontinue. This is what we have done so far in furthering our cause, and we now enlist your support and assistance.\n\nThe financial standing of the Society is by no means sound as its income depends largely on subscriptions from its members. Some time ago we started to collect the subscription for this year, but the results were poor and rather disheartening. Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Ma Luk and Mrs. Fung Heung-chuen, our efforts were rewarded for they each donated $50 to the Society's funds. The expenditure of the Society is rather small, since we have only to pay for advertisements, printing, and some stationery. However, the work of the Society is decidedly burdensome, and it is up to you to see it through; therefore whether we can achieve our object of getting rid of this inveterate social evil depends on how you will respond to the appeal voiced by us now.\n\n## The Discussion.\n\nThe chairman invited discussion on the proposals he had outlined in his opening address in regard to the registration of both mui-tsai and adopted daughters.\n\nA member said that they should enforce registration through a penalty clause and he pointed out that such had been overlooked in the proposals. He suggested that failure to register within the prescribed period of six months be penalised by a heavy fine, to be followed by the giving of complete freedom to the girls without such consideration as compensation to the owner.\n\nAnother member said that much effective work could be accomplished by personal investigation as in the case of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He discovered a similarity in the work of the two Societies with the exception that theirs had the greater claim to official backing, in the fact that it was a human being whose life's burden they were seeking to lighten.\n\nThe authorities had displayed a praiseworthy attitude when they co-operated with members of the S.P.C.A. in these personal investigations. He recalled that quite recently, lady members of that Society went round to the various bird shops in the town to look into cases of cruelty and that they were on that occasion accompanied by a police officer. If the same procedure was adopted in their own case, and members of the Anti-Mui-tsai Society were allowed to accompany a police officer in order to investigate fully a report of cruelty, much of the objectionable features to which reference was made by the Chairman in his speech would cease.\n\n### Election of Committee.\n\nAfter further discussion it was agreed to incorporate this suggestion as well as the one for a penalty clause, in the main body of proposals. In their revised form, the proposals were then put to the meeting and passed, the meeting giving full powers to the Executive Committee to present them at the proper time before the authorities. The revised Articles of Constitution of the Society, which had been in the hands of members for some time, were also passed.\n\nThe election of members of the Executive Committee was then proceeded with, and some 30 members were appointed. The Chairman proposed the appointment of Mr. J. D. Bush as Hon. English Secretary. The post was a responsible one, and Mr. C. G. Anderson, who recently resigned from it owing to pressure of business, deserved the thanks of the Society for the able manner in which he had filled it.\n\nMr. J. D. Bush was unanimously appointed Hon. English Secretary, and Mr. Ngan, Hon. Chinese Secretary.\n\nBefore the meeting terminated, the Chairman said it was their unanimous hope that the aims of the Society would soon be realised, and he urged the newly-elected members of the Committee to do their best to bring this about. The mui-tsai system had existed in their midst as an evil. It was always condemned and put out of the law by the Chinese Nationalist Government in a recent edict and he hoped that the Government of this Colony which had been responsible for many beneficial reforms would not be long in falling into line and dealing with a practice which admittedly had many evils.\n\n## Enclosure 4 in No. 18.\n\n**Report on the working of the Female Domestic Servants Ordinance, 1923.**\n\nThe objects of this Ordinance were mainly two: the first to make it quite clear that the payment of money to the parent or guardian or employer of a female child confers no rights in the child and to strengthen the existing powers given to the Secretary for Chinese Affairs under `Ordinance 4 of 1897`; and the second to reinforce the law dealing with cruelty to children. So far there is nothing in the Ordinance which was not provided for in existing legislation. What is new is the prohibition under Section 4 of the taking into employment of mui-tsai as defined in the Ordinance.",

A breach of this law should be penalised with imprisonment, while persons directly connected with the unlawful deal should be liable to a heavy fine.\n\nAnnual Report.\n\nThe annual report of the Anti-Mui-tsai Society was then read by Mr. K. Y. Ngan. He said :-\n\nLadies and gentlemen, your presence at this meeting to-day has filled us all with extreme pleasure, and I am sure your showing up here now proves the very deep interest and concern you always entertain in the cause and affairs of this Society. Since the general meeting we convened in July of last year, more than a year has elapsed; but I am glad to say that all the time those on the committee have done their very best in carrying on the work of the Society and, above all, in promoting its worthy cause; and what they have done may partly have been evinced by reports in newspapers, while part of it had to be kept secret and confidential when circumstances so required. We always take to heart the heavy burden on our shoulders and at the same time bear in mind the hard conditions of the mui-tsai. In this you will join us in showing sympathy.\n\nI regret to say that we have not succeeded in influencing the Government to put through the registration of mui-tsai with the proper authorities, and consequently this cursed system has not yet been wiped out from the community.

Hynes.\n\nWhilst we, as shareholders, must regret that the sterling bonus for the year has been reduced from £2 to £1 per share, we feel bound to quiesce in the decision of the Board when we reflect that, at the low exchange of 1s/7½d to the dollar, the final payment to us of £4 per share costs only about $40,000 less in dollars than the payment of the final of £5 per share cost us for the year 1928 at the then exchange of 2s. 04d. to the dollar. Moreover, those shareholders, who think in dollars, can derive comfort from the fact that for the year 1929 they are receiving, in dividend and bonus combined, $80.37 per share as compared with $79.02 per share for the year 1928.\n\nThree years has been Chief Manager. These three years, as you all know, have been exceptionally difficult ones, and the results at face of these difficulties speak more for Mr. Hynes' zeal and ability in the service of the Bank than anything I could possibly say.\n\nI feel sure that you would wish to join me in offering a warm farewell to Mr. Hynes and in wishing him enjoyment of a well-merited rest after his long and successful career in the Bank.\n\nAnother old colleague of mine, Mr. V. M. Grayburn, has been appointed to be Acting Chief Manager when Mr. Hynes leaves in two or three weeks' time. Here again I feel sure that you will join me in offering him a hearty welcome and every success.\n\nIn regard to the disturbed state of affairs in China, shareholders can only join with our Directors in deploring the continued persistence of civil war in China with its accompaniment of famine and brigandage and of the oppression of the Chinese merchants and masses by irregular taxation and interference with the arteries of trade in so many Provinces of China.\n\nAlso the molestation of shipping by pirates is still unfortunately with us, and we trust that the preventive measures, which have recently been initiated by the Government Kwangtung, will shortly bear fruit.\n\nIn conclusion I would ask you to confirm the Directors' vote of a bonus to the staff of 5 per cent. on their salaries. The reduction from 10 per cent - the figure of several years past - has been made to correspond with the halving of the Shareholders' bonus.\n\nI now beg to propose the adoption of the Report and Statement of Accounts.\n\nAfter the proposal has been seconded and before placing the motion before the Meeting, I shall be pleased to answer to the best of my ability any questions that shareholders may have to ask.\n\nTHE SECONDER'S SPEECH.\n\nThe Bank and its Sterling Position.\n\nSeconding, the Hon. Sir Henry Pollock, K.C., said. Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen. In rising to second the adoption of the Report and the Statement of Accounts, I do not propose to occupy many minutes of your time, especially in view of the very full and interesting speech which has just been made from the chair.\n\nThe first point which strikes one as satisfactory is the fact that, in spite of difficult trade and banking conditions during the past year, our earnings in silver for 1929 exceeded by some seven lakhs of dollars our earnings in silver for the year 1928.\n\nYet another point for congratulation is that our Directors by transferring 5 million dollars from our silver reserve at the very favourable rate of 2/- to the dollar, have raised our sterling reserve to six and a half millions sterling, and when we call to mind that only 10 years ago, at the beginning of 1920, our sterling reserve stood at one and a half million pounds only, it will be readily appreciated how much the Bank has strengthened its sterling position during the last ten years.\n\nWe are also transferring $500,000 to our silver reserve and $750,000 to Bank Premises Account; and it is pleasing to hear from you, sir, that our investments stand at well under market quotations.\n\nExtrality Abolition.\n\nAs regards the abolition of extrality, one can only express the hope that the powers-that-be in Nanking will realize the desirability for proceeding slowly and gradually, so long as Chinese Judges have no security of tenure of office, and so long as such Judges are liable to dictation and interference by political and military officials.\n\nAll shareholders will most cordially indorse the bonus of 5 per cent. to the Bank staff on their salaries, and will very much regret the necessity for reducing the same.\n\nIn conclusion, Mr. Chairman, I desire, on behalf of the shareholders, to echo your words of appreciation of the very valuable services which have been rendered to the Bank by retiring Chief Manager, Mr. Hynes, during the past three extremely difficult years, and we join in wishing him, and Mrs. Hynes also, many years of happiness to come.\n\nWe likewise desire to endorse your words of welcome to the incoming Chief Manager, Mr. Grayburn, and to wish him every success in his arduous task.\n\nThe report and accounts were unanimously adopted.\n\nBusiness Matters. Mr. R. M. Dyer proposed and Mr. D. J. Lewis seconded the appointment of Mr. J. P. Warren, Mr. T. H. R. Shaw, Mr. M. T. Johnson and Mr. T. E. Pearce to the Board of Directors, and the re-election of Mr. W. L. Pattenden, Mr. A. H. Compton and Mr. B. D. F. Beith to the Board. This was carried.\n\nMessrs. C. Bernard Brown, A.C.A., and John Fleming, C.A., were re-elected as auditors, on the motion of Mr. F. C. Hall, seconded by Mr. J. W. Bonham.",

CHAN MING-SHU.\n\nFUNCTION AT TAIKOO DOCK A SUCCESS.\n\nA 3,300 TON BOAT.\n\nWith a large crowd cheering heartily, the 3,300 tons s.s. Tsinan, slipped down her supports into the water at 4.15 p.m. yesterday and was successfully launched.\n\nThe Tsinan, which has just been constructed by the Taikoo Dockyard, is the sister ship of the s.s. Taiyuan, and has been built to the order of the China Navigation Company. She was launched yesterday, after Mrs. Chan Ming-shu, the wife of H.E. General Chan Ming-shu, had performed the time-honoured custom of breaking a bottle of champagne.\n\nThere was a very large crowd present at the Taikoo Dockyard for the ceremony, including Lady Clementi, M.B.E., Sir Shouson Chow, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Southorn, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Hallifax and the Misses Hallifax, Hon. Mr. C. McI. Messer, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Creasy, Hon. Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Kotewall, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. L. Shenton, Hon. Commander G. F. Hole and Mrs. Hole, Sir Henry Gollan, Mr. Justice and Mrs. Wood, Hon. and Mrs. J. P. Braga, Vice-Admiral Sir A. K. Waistell, Commodore Hill and General and Mrs. Chan Ming-shu, who were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Au Young-ki, Mrs. Chun-chan, Mr. and Mrs. Leong, Mr. Mark Yin-chun, Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Wong.\n\nOthers noticed were Mr. T. H. R. Shaw (China Navigation Company), Mr. C. de Bruyn, Mr. and Mrs. Woo Hay-tong, Captain Duncan, Capt. Arthur, Capt. and Mrs. C. B. Riggs, Mr. H. B. L. Dowbiggin, Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Wilson, Mr. Lo Kai-hong, Captain Ashby, Col. and Mrs. Skinner, Mr. Ho Kwong, Mr. Li Yau-tsun, Mr. and Mrs. W. Bloomfield, Mr. Chau Yue-teng, Mr. Chau Tung-sang, Mr. Chan Pik-chuen, Mr. Kwok Chuen, Mr. Wing Lok-ting, Mr. Ho Leung, Mr. Yue Sze-wing, Mr. Choy Chong, Mr. Lo Kai-hung, Mr. Mok Kon-sang and Mr. T. N. Chau.\n\nThe Launching Ceremony.\n\nThe main party, consisting of Lady Clementi, General and Mrs. Chan Ming-shu, Mr. T. H. R. Shaw and members of the Legislative Council and the official party from Canton, assembled on a specially erected and gaily decorated dais at the keel of the boat, and at a given signal, the supports were released and Mrs. Chan Ming-shu broke the bottle of champagne, which was also bedecked with multi-coloured ribbons, across the boat, and with a roar, accompanied by enthusiastic cheering, the huge boat dipped gracefully into the sea, and out in full sight of the onlookers.\n\nBoth Mrs. Chan Ming-shu and Mr. T. H. R. Shaw, the manager of the China Navigation Company, were the recipients of many congratulations on the successful launching.\n\nSubsequently the guests adjourned for tea, where, at the outset, the success of the newly floated Tsinan was toasted in champagne.\n\nMr. Shaw proposed the toast. He extended grateful thanks to General and Mrs. Chan Ming-shu for their attendance that afternoon. He referred to the fact the Tsinan was the sister ship of the Taiyuan, and went on to pay a tribute to the manner in which the Taikoo Dockyard Company had built the vessel. The China Navigation Company, he said, ordered a ship to be built similar to the Taiyuan, but the Taikoo Dockyard Company had exceeded their expectations and had built a ship with more room, extra tonnage and less coal consumption. He thought the Company should be congratulated on such a record. In addition, they had extra accommodation and storage, but the only thing they had not got, was extra room for pirates. Every precaution had, in fact, been taken to minimise the danger of pirates. He was glad to see that the Canton authorities had recently sent down three naval experts to consider the question of preventing piracies and he was sure they wished them every success in their efforts in that direction.\n\nMr. Shaw then handed to Mrs. Chan Ming-shu a little souvenir of the occasion and the success of the Tsinan was drunk with enthusiasm.\n\nMrs. Chan Ming-shu Returns Thanks.\n\nIn reply Mrs. Chan Ming-shu said that it gave her great pleasure to be present on an occasion like that. She wished to express her thanks for the very magnificent gift Mr. Shaw had given her and she asked them to join with her in wishing the Company which Mr. Shaw represented, great prosperity in the future.\n\nGeneral Chan Ming-shu also spoke briefly and said what a great pleasure it was to his wife and himself to be there that day. He had great pleasure in not only wishing prosperity and long life to the new boat, but also success and prosperity to the Company, because the prosperity of the Company meant more prosperity and peace in China, which would coincide with the prosperity of the world. He proposed the health of Mr. Shaw and the China Navigation Company.\n\nThe Tsinan has been constructed to the order of the China Navigation Co., Ltd., and is 325 feet in length, with a beam of 45 feet and depth moulded to upper deck of 24 feet 9 inches, carrying a deadweight of about 3,300 tons on 18 feet draft.\n\nThe vessel is built on the deep framed system and has two complete decks and poop, bridge and forecastle. The scantlings of the vessel have been approved by the British Corporation and generally supervised during construction by the Hongkong Government to obtain their Passenger Certificate.\n\nAccommodation for the crew has been arranged forward. A second class saloon and state rooms for 34 passengers have been provided, the staterooms being large and airy, each being provided with two side scuttles. The first class saloon and eight single berth cabins have been arranged at forward end of bridge deck while the officers and engineers are berthed at aft end of bridge. Captain's house, chart room and wireless room are on the boat deck. The compradore's staff have been accommodated aft in the poop.\n\nThe vessel is provided with steam windlass and capstan forward, also a warping capstan aft on poop. Steam steering gear is housed in poop and actuated from the bridge by telemotor gear. Eight steam winches have been provided to work 8 steel derricks, one 15-ton derrick and one 30-ton derrick.\n\nThe vessel is rigged as a two-masted schooner and fitted with reciprocating engines driving one shaft and capable of driving the vessel at a speed of over 11 knots loaded.\n\nMachinery and boilers have been constructed entirely by The Taikoo Dockyard. The \"Tsinan,\" which is a sister ship of the s.s. \"Taiyuan\" launched on the 21st September, 1929, is the second ship to be built of the \"T\" class and will be engaged on the Shanghai-Canton run.\n\nFriday January 24th 1930.\n\n1\n\n60",

We value this donation, not only because it is a substantial contribution to the solution of this question, but also because it is further evidence of His Excellency's abiding interest in, and support of, the Tung Wah, to which I have ventured to refer.\n\nStarted Ten Years Ago, The original scheme of having a new hospital for the Eastern part of the City, which started about 10 years ago, took the form of having an independent hospital at Wan Chai. It was soon realised that such a scheme would not be satisfactory, and that the hospital should not be independent of, but under the control and form part of, the Tung Wah Hospital. Since then 10 successive Boards of Directors, with their respective Chairmen, Messrs. Ho Kwong, Li Wing-kwong, Li Yik-mui, Lo Chung-kui, Wong Ping-suen, Ma Chi-lung, Ma Tsun-chiu, Tam Woon-tong, Li Hoi-tun and Tang Shiu-kin, have made their respective contributions to the gradual working out of the scheme.\n\nAdmiration of the splendid situation of the hospital was expressed on all sides yesterday, when a very large crowd gathered in a huge matshed in the grounds for the opening ceremony. This was attended by leading merchants and business people, both European and Chinese, members of the Councils, officials, and scores of Chinese residents. The matshed was brilliantly illuminated. On the lawn the band of the K.O.S.B. rendered selections, at the conclusion of the addresses, and refreshments were served in the marquees facing the main building.\n\nAmong those present, in addition to His Excellency the Governor and Lady Clementi, were the Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn, Hon. Sir Joseph Kemp, K.C., C.B.E., Mr. E. Ralphs, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Hallifax, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Creasy, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. L. Shenton, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. C. North, Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. B. D. F. Beith, Hon. Mr. E. D. C. Wolfe, Mr. and Mrs. P. Jacks, Mr. C. A. D. Melbourne, Hon. Dr. and Mrs. A. R. Wellington, Dr. and Mrs. W. B. A. Moore, Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Pope, Dr. and Mrs. R. E. Tottenham, Mr. and Mrs. P. P. J. Wodehouse, His Hon. Mr. Justice and Mrs. J. R. Wood, Colonel and Mrs. Skinner, Captain C. de Linde, R.E., Mr. and Mrs. K. E. Greig, Mr. W. L. Pattenden, Col. and Mrs. L. G. Bird, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Tarart, Mr. and Mrs. R. Sutherland, Messrs. Jardine Matheson & Co., Ltd., Mr. and Mrs. C. E. H. Beavis, Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Potter.\n\nThe address of welcome made to His Excellency by Mr. M. K. Lo, after which His Excellency and the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow, spoke. Sir Cecil Clementi's speech and that of Mr. Lo were translated for the benefit of the many Chinese present, while Sir Shou-son Chow spoke in his native tongue.\n\nMr. M. K. Lo, the Chairman of Directors, in introducing His Excellency said, in part: The foundation stone of this Hospital was laid by His Excellency the Governor on the 4th May, 1928. His Excellency then reminded us that the foundation stone of the parent Hospital was laid on the 9th April, 1870, by the then Governor Sir Richard Macdonnell. The formal opening ceremony of the parent Hospital, which took place on the 14th February, 1872, was also performed by Sir Richard.\n\nMuch effort had been expended in choosing a suitable locality, and it was in 1926, during Mr. Tam Woon-tong's Chairmanship, that the present site was found. In 1927, Mr. Li Hoi-tung and his colleagues took in hand the important question of the design of the building, and the task of drawing the necessary plans was entrusted to the well-known firm of Messrs. Palmer and Turner. This imposing building is convincing testimony of their architectural skill. The building contract was signed on the 29th March, 1928, during Mr. Tang Shiu-kin's Chairmanship, the contractors being Messrs. Hang Sun Co.\n\nHis Excellency Sir Cecil Clementi has won the affection and esteem of the Chinese community, not only by reason of his intimate knowledge of the Chinese, their character and language, but above all by his innate kindness and sympathetic understanding of the Chinese viewpoint. Ever solicitous of promoting the welfare of the Colony, His Excellency has been unsparing in his support of worthy objects. This Hospital, like its parent, is under a very great debt of gratitude to His Excellency for his sage counsel and potent support, and for his ever kind and indulgent consideration of its numerous problems. We therefore rejoice that His Excellency should be able to honour us with his presence today, and to perform the opening ceremony of this building.\n\nAs I have said, the foundation stone of this Hospital was laid by His Excellency less than two years ago. I venture to hope that this Hospital, which can thus claim the historic parallel of the Tung Wah in having the foundation stone laid, and the opening ceremony performed, by the same Governor, will also, in the years to come, be able to claim the further historic parallel of the Tung Wah...",

Paragraph 6 simply shows that the Governor has failed to understand what is being accomplished in the Straits Settlements.\n\nAs regards paragraph 9, it appears that in November, 1929, the Government passed regulations prohibiting the use of vessels for the purpose of prostitution. Vessels means \"all trading junks, fishing junks, lighters, cargo boats, fishing drying hulks as well as any other hulks and all small boats other than pleasure boats.\" Since the receipt of our despatch containing Mrs. Neville Rolfe's strictures, the Government has passed a second regulation prohibiting the use of launches or motor boats for such purposes. We may hope that this will stop that particular abuse, but if there are any pleasure boats which are not launches or motor boats, it is obvious they could still be used to transport prostitutes to ships without contravening the regulations.\n\nIn",

We have no means of judging how far his defence is justified. The report of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs for 1929 is not very informative. It says that the Justices of the Peace \"on no occasion found cause for adverse comment\", and that \"the Matron reports favourably on the conduct, health and industry of the inmates during the year.\" The Secretary for Chinese Affairs nowhere states that from his own knowledge the institution was well run. I also note from the report that the average number of inmates was 69, that their food cost only $5,496, and that the bulk of the assets, viz., $20,000 was on fixed deposit or mortgage with a plus Ma Lei Ho Shi. The activities of the Po Leung Kuk will clearly come within the purview of the International Commission and we shall hear in due course if the Commission is satisfied that it is working well.\n\nIn paragraph 12, the Governor admits that the facilities for free treatment of Venereal Disease are inadequate. It is a step in the right direction that they propose to increase these facilities.\n\nFinally, in paragraph 13 the Governor makes his concrete proposal, viz., that Government",

I refer to the constant movements of thousands of Chinese daily in and out of the Colony and the difficulty of dealing effectively with the international traffic in women and girls in the event\n\nof the abandonment of the system of toleration. It is comparatively easy in Malaya to exercise a large measure of control in respect of women entering the country as they arrive in limited numbers by large vessels or by rail from the direction of Siam. The same control is impossible in Hong Kong where thousands may arrive daily in river steamers, junks or by land.

But this is only a first step, and there is yet much to be done to reach the goal of complete emancipation. Why? Because, according to our original estimate, the number of mui-tsai in the Colony were about 8,000 or more, out of which only 4,299 have registered. What has become of the remainder? We know that the more kindly owners have set free a goodly number possibly before the enforcement of registration, yet there must be a huge number being sent away surreptitiously elsewhere, while others have purposely ignored registration. It is the fate of the unregistered about which we are most anxious. This explains what I mean when I say that our work is incomplete.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE EFFORT\n\ntection of the Female Domestic Ordinance. Anyone following closely the reports in the local English and Chinese Press could not but take note of the punishment meted out to the stubborn cases of cruelty and flagrant breaches of the law in non-registration and in buying and selling mui-tsai. The two outstanding cases which deserve more than passing notice were: One was fined $500 for buying and selling, and the other met the stern penalty of six months' imprisonment for treating a child of six in a brutal fashion. The melancholy condition of the child really horrified everyone in Court at the time. Our Chinese Secretary has dealt in detail with the number of cases reported to the Society during the past twelve months, and it is unnecessary for me to dwell on that point further.\n\nPleasures and Perplexities.\n\nFear and Ignorance.\n\nI will, however, supplement the remarks of the two previous speakers by acquainting you with other gratifying results and other perplexities still confronting the Society. There yet remains much to be accomplished. The public in the Colony and in Canton have to be educated and inspired anew to realize the social ignorance, the callous indifference and apathy towards child-welfare.\n\n\"When we registration and therefore dare not go to the S.C.A. to register. Then, also, there must be scores and scores of mui-tsai, who though registered, are still groaning under the brutal hands of their mistress. Something must be done to help these poor girls out of their fear and ignorance. This is the second reason for saying that our work is incomplete.\n\nAs a Chinese proverb has it: \"To conquer a city is not mightier than to captivate the heart of the people\" (a similar expression in English is \"Opinion is queen of the world, whilst force is only its tyrant\"). This remark applies forcibly to the present owners of mui-tsai, who must be made to realise the sufferings of the slaves in their hands. The enforcement of the law is, after all, only partially effective.\n\nThe hardest task before us, therefore, is to educate and awaken the public conscience to the wrongs done to mui-tsai, and it is hoped that the word will be soon dropped out of the Chinese vocabulary completely. This is my third reason for telling you that our work for emancipating the mui-tsai is still incomplete.\n\nENGLISH SECRETARY'S ADDRESS.\n\nThe following is the speech of the Hon. English Secretary, Mr. J. D. Bush:\n\nFor all this our heart is grateful. It is hoped that there will be contributions forthcoming from various quarters to keep up and carry on the good work of this Society.\n\n\"A glistening tear in a child's eye\" has called forth our own Society, into existence. It is the pressure of this force that makes the appeal all the more urgent.\n\nThis Society also wishes to thank you, in a spirit of gratification, that considerable success has attended the efforts to get into close touch with the Social Service Bureau in Canton. The ready response to our appeal for enforcement of regulations in Canton is appreciated. Similar relations with the Government in Macao are hoped to be achieved in the immediate future. Returning to our work in Hong Kong again, relations with the S.P.C.A. are excellent, and most cordial co-operation has been established between the two Societies. This arises mainly from the fact that the officers in charge have exercised the utmost patience and adopted the most tolerant and helpful attitude towards cases brought before them.\n\nOf course, the Society's desideratum is that a rigid system of operandi may be found in dealing with cases concerning the \"adopted daughters\" and cases of ill-treatment. Anonymous communications, however reliable informants may be, have proved to be fruitless.\n\nHow greatly are the services of absolutely disinterested men whose instincts must be for the good of the children wanted? With this qualification it is impossible to expect the general public to take an interest in child-welfare unless this Society is used by reporting cases of cruelty to it for redressing the wrongs raised against the helpless and inarticulate mui-tsai.\n\nThis leads me to further consideration of the Child Welfare Society of Hong Kong. We are heartily glad of its coming into existence during the past year. But we like to see it live up more to the ideal of being the Champion of the Child which it sets out to achieve. Instead of having just one young lady fulfilling the duty of an Inspector, there should be at least a dozen or more officers (men and women), selected and trained because of their special aptitude for the posts they have to fill. Then, also, there should be more men who are thoroughly interested in championing the cause of every child, regardless of mui-tsai or any sort of neglected child, who suffers.\n\nThere is no denying that these cases are complex and therefore require skilful handling. Time and again, in so far as regards these cases, the S.P.C.A. have been led to raise the question: Why don't these anonymous informants report direct to this Office? They would if they could, but in general, people laying the information of cruelty in a certain neighbourhood do not wish their names to be disclosed. There is a shrinking fear - human nature is the same all the world over - on the part of many people against giving their name and address, so as not to run the risk of being called upon to appear in the police-court to give evidence.\n\nWe want genuine and enthusiastic supporters of child-welfare work in the Colony. So far as there is a difference between the work of the Child Welfare Society and our Society at all, it is a difference in thoroughness, although we have the same aims and objects in view. I offer these remarks in the spirit of friendly criticism, without the least intention of being flippant and cynical.\n\nSalvation Army Work.\n\nLooking back on the records of work of this Society, there is legitimate cause for satisfaction at what has been accomplished during the year under review. Registration is now an accomplished fact, with 4,299 mui-tsai actually registered and the Courts in the Colony are active in enforcing the law and bringing to justice any gross acts of extreme brutality. On the whole, these neglected children are placed under more effective protection.\n\nThe Salvation Army Women's Industrial Home, on Prince Edward Road, Kowloon, has come into existence since we met here last year. There are at present thirteen girls in this Institution. The Hong Kong Government is contributing $200 monthly towards its upkeep.\n\nLet me have the pleasure of bringing to your notice a book from the pen of Lieut.-Commander and Mrs. H. L. Haslewood on the mui-tsai question in Hong Kong. I commend it highly to those of you who desire to have a complete record of this most complex and perplexing issue. As it is announced in the preface of the book that \"authors' profits will be devoted to the cause of the mui-tsai\", I would like to see many of you here take a copy each. The book is obtainable from Messrs. Kelly & Walsh, Ltd.\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31",

These people practically live on the doorsteps of the local banks, and not a day passes without they enter contract or other, either directly with the banks, or through representatives of those institutions, for the banks cannot recognise all and sundry.\n\nThese men follow the slightest change in quotations with the greatest interest, for they are gamblers all—in the business interpretation of the term.\n\n\"Are you worrying about the exchange also!\" was the query put to a merchant.\n\n\"I should say I am. I am just waiting for the bank manager to give me a rate. Who will send anything to Hong Kong at our prices?\" was the reply.\n\nAn Unquoted Rise. Passing on to another bank our representative met a Chinese well versed in exchange matters, and not a little interested in the fluctuation of the Hong Kong dollar.\n\n\"Have you heard?\" he asked, on sighting the Daily Press man, \"Exchange has gone up half a farthing, but the banks are not quoting it?\"\n\n\"No, I haven't heard,\" the writer replied, \"but why do you think the banks are not quoting it?\"\n\n\"A further drop is anticipated, my friend, that is why!\" was the cryptic answer he gave as he passed on.\n\nHighest\nLowest\nHighest\nLowest\n\n1887\n474\n1884\n3/93\n28\n\n1888\n431\n1885\n8/7\n3/33\n\n1889\n442\n418\n1886\n3/43\n2/11\n\n1890\n548\n41.15.16\n438\n1887\n3/41\n3/01\n\n1891\n483\n43\n1888\n3/1\n2/113\n\n1892\n432\n37%\n1889\n3/23\n2/114\n\n1893\n38.13-16\n30}\n1890\n3/102\n3/01\n\n1894\n31%\n27\n1891\n3/5\n3/08\n\n1895\n31.5-16\n27.3-16\n1892\n3/0\n2/82\n\n1896\n31.9-16\n292\n1893\n2/87\n2/2/\n\n1897\n29.13-16\n23@\n1894\n2/3\n1/11/\n\n1898\n98%\n25\n1895\n2/23\n1/11\n\n1899\n99\n265\n1896\n2/23\n2/1\n\n1900\n301\n27\n1897\n2/12\n1/92\n\n1901\n29.9-16\n25\n1898\n1/113\n1/93\n\n1902\n26\n21.11-16\n1899\n1/11\n1/10\n\n1903\n28\n\n1900\n2/1\n1/11\n\n1904\n28.9-16\n\n1901\n2/1\n\n1905\n30.5-10\n21.11-16\n1902\n\n1906\n331\n\n1903\n1/94\n1/108\n\n1907\n32.7-16\n\n1904\n1/61\n1/10.11-16\n\n1908\n\n1905\n2/11\n\n1909\n243\n\n1906\n1/64\n1/11.9-16\n\n1910\n261\n\n1907\n1/8\n\n1911\n261\n\n1908\n\n1912\n29.11-16\n\n1909\n1/92\n1/81\n\n1913\n293\n29\n1910\n1/10\n\n1914\n271\n221\n1911\n1/10\n\n1915\n271\n22.5-16\n1912\n2/1.1-16\n\n1916\n37\n261\n1913\n2/0.15-16\n1/11\n\n1917\n55\n35.11-16\n1914\n1/11\n1/81\n\n1918\n493\n42!\n1915\n1/11\n1/9\n\n1919\n79%\n47.7-16\n1916\n2/41\n\n1920\n89,\n381\n1917\n3/20\n2/3\n\n1921\n433\n303\n1918\n3/8\n2/11/\n\n1922\n37\n30\n1919\n5/2\n3/02\n\n1923\n33.11-16\n303\n1920\n6/2\n2/11\n\n1924\n\n1921\n3/12\n2/2\n\n1925\n\n1922\n2/7$\n2/23\n\n1926\n\n1923\n2/4/\n2/21\n\n1927\n\n1924\n2/51\n2/23\n\n1928\n\n1925\n2/51\n2/27\n\n1929\n26.7-10\n21.5-16\n1926\n2/43\n1/98\n\n1927\n2/03\n1/113\n\n1928\n2/1\n1/113\n\n1929\n2/01\n1/7!\n\n1/9.13-16\n\nA Very Happy New Year. A good many of these people are looking forward to a very happy Chinese New Year through a stroke of fortune or through their close association with the banks and intensive study of daily quotations, they figured on a drop in the Hong Kong dollar, and entered into commitments with this end in view.\n\nWhether they foresaw the present abnormally low rate is open to question, but it was learned on good authority yesterday that profit amounting to three, five and seven lakhs has been made by different number of speculators, while others have \"small\" profits of from $50,000 to $100,000 to show.\n\nThere were a few speculators who did not believe in the continued fall in the Hong Kong dollar, and these have been caught, but not too badly, as the bulk of the profits, so it is reported, have been made out of the banks.\n\nWhen the dollar on Thursday touched the lowest record to date, a pitiful scene was witnessed outside one of the local banks.\n\nMR. AND MRS. MAN-IN-THE-STREET.\n\nLOOK AT THE FALLEN DOLLAR.\n\nCOST OF LIVING AND FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES.\n\nWhile bank managers and professional, or amateur financiers, are discussing the silver basis, China's currency and the bank rate, Mr. and Mrs. Man-in-the-Street are asking themselves what the fall in the value of the dollar is going to mean to them. And they generally discuss the problem with long faces.\n\nThe cost of living will quite inevitably go up, though probably not to any appreciable extent until March. Six weeks from now, if the dollar still stands at 1/6, the cost of living will have increased by from 25 to 30 per cent.\n\n\"The evil-minded grocer will not be to blame. He will have to pay for his goods in sterling, and pay more dollars for his sterling than he did six months ago. If he is to continue in business he must increase his prices. The same applies to every form of retail trade.\n\nAt one of the banks an Indian merchant was seen in long conference with one of the officials.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nIt looks Not So Gloomy.\n\nAn Optimistic Note. A discussion of the situation with the leading retail merchants the Colony revealed some interesting facts.\n\nTheir general outlook not nearly so black as that of the man in the street and his wife. While realising that their standards will be adjusted to meet our incomes. There will be less indulgence in luxury certainly for a month or two, possible for longer, but probably little actual want.\n\n\"At first people stopped buying anything but necessities, but after a time they will accept the new prices as normal,\" a representative was told.\n\nThe retailers anticipate doing on the whole a smaller volume of trade during the coming year, but they do not seem to anticipate suffering very heavy consequences.\n\nSome are considering the policy of buying only enough stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock.\n\nHOW THE COLONY WILL GAIN.\n\nAN OPTIMIST'S VIEW.\n\nAmid general depression about the dollar, especially among those of us who live on \"fixed\" salaries it is, perhaps, good to have a little optimism, such as that conveyed by a well-known authority to a Daily Press representative yesterday.\n\nwas\n\nIn answer to the interviewer our authority agreed that with the depreciation of the dollar it naturally prophesied by several leading business magnates and newspapers that 1930 in Hong Kong would be a gloomy year.\n\n\"We always find \"destructive critics the world over,'\n\n\"but when constructive ones are wanted, they are rarely found. Coming down to hard facts\n\nInfluence of \"Jack Frost.\" But there are compensatory factors for the retailer. The cold spell for one.\n\nIn one of the most important European shops dealing in Oriental curios and objets d'art, our representative was told that while there had been less than the usual demand for jewellery and expensive wall pictures, there had been unusually good sales of Pekin and Tientsin carpets.\n\nOther merchants are experiencing good sales of woollen garments, coats, scarves and travelling rugs. Then there is what might be termed to borrow a war-time phrase the food-hoarding instinct.\n\nThe January sales should prove even more popular than usual this year.\n\nNo Increase In Prices! Mr. H. Overy, of Messrs. Wm. Powell, the well-known firm men's tailors and outfitters, viewed the situation with confidence and even optimism.\n\n\"We shall not put \"We buy our prices up,\" he said. only twice a year, in September and March. Our September goods were bought at the rate of 1/11d., and our customers will have full benefit. If the dollar does not rise-which I think it will-of course our March buyings must be affected.\n\nWe have no intention of buying goods in any but our usual British market and the price of small haberdashery articles will in any case remain what it is at present. There is no direction in which the fall of the dollar helps us.\n\nTrade Prospects.\n\n\"As I have already mentioned, men must live, therefore there will always be a demand for goods. The sudden drop of the dollar naturally sets the heads of business-houses thinking and waiting until matters improved before taking further orders.\n\nThus temporarily their business is at a standstill and, what is more a man is apt to cry out louder when in pain than from pleasure and so it is here.\n\nNow if the intrinsic value of the dollar is low, foreign investors and financiers will invest in the Colony, because they will get more dollars as the equivalent of their own currency.\n\nOne can always get 8 or 10 per cent. even more on investments locally,- shares, property mortgages, etc.\n\nWith the money market easy naturally the prices of the various investments will increase by leaps and bounds.\n\nTherefore, I can see a very bright silver lining to the clouds in the near future.\n\nA colony with a stable and well-established government like ours, where every- one has a pretty fair deal-a shelter for political refugees from neigh- bouring places, a harbour of world- renowned fame, where millions come and go, of all colours, races, and religions a Mecca of trade with hundreds of princely merchantmen constantly coming and going—such a Colony can never languish.\n\nThe sun never sets on the British Em- pire; where the British flag flies one rarely find her sons with cold feet- so let there be none among us!\n\nCORRESPONDENCE.\n\nTHE FALL OF THE DOLLAR.\n\nTo the EDITOR HONG KONG DAILY PRESS.\n\nSIR,-I should not have thought it possible that so many editorial and interviews with comments could authorities \"anonymous have exhibited such a complete lack of comprehension of fundamental facts as has come to light on this subject.\n\nOne authority, who granted a long interview, implied that if the Hong Kong dollar had been fixed at about 2-, we should, by our geographical position, have had a sentimental effect on Shanghai and prevented the drop in silver!\n\nIt is hardly necessary to dwell upon the absurdity of such a view.\n\nMost of the commentators obsessed with the idea that if it were not for some imaginary conspiracy, we in Hong Kong would really be basking in prosperity, with a 2/- dollar, and surveying with aloofness the fate of China's silver currency.\n\nTheir arguments and comments overlook the fact that this Colony has always been on a silver basis.\n\nOur Hong Kong dollar is a silver dollar and our bank-notes promise to pay the bearer on demand the amount expressed in silver dollars.\n\n...\n\nPage 108\n\nTHE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS &\n\n...\n\nPage 109",

London Office: 53, Fleet Street, E.C. 4.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONG KONG, JUNE 21, 1930.\n\nADEQUATE SALARIES.\n\nNo Concern With Economics,\n\nThe constitution of the Legislative Council, with its permanent unofficial minority, makes it inevitable that, although the Government really desires measures to be passed, approved it certainly will be. The \"Opposition\" is by force of circumstances definitely numbered, and cannot force an issue with any hope of success division, but it can give public expression to opinions which to some extent reflect the ideas formed on current affairs by those members of the community who are in no way associated with the Administration.\n\nThat such speeches can influence the Government to any great extent, once its mind is made up, is not to be expected, but opportunity is given for non-official opinion to be voiced, and possibly enlighten the official mind as to the viewpoint taken by the ordinary citizen.\n\nIn the course of a most interesting address on Thursday Mr. OWEN HUGHES quoted a statement attributed to the late Chief Justice which appears to give the key to the official outlook on the position. As Chairman of the Salaries Commission, Sir HENRY GOLLAN said it was not a question of economics which they had to consider, but the adequacy of salaries.\n\nIn other words, the remuneration to be paid to Civil Servants was regarded as a matter quite outside the scope and influence of economic conditions.\n\nCutting Coats to the Cloth.\n\nSince when has it been possible to consider questions of wage payments without considering the surrounding economic factors? From what source comes the money for these salaries-does it fall upon the ground as the gentle dew from heaven, or is it drawn from some reservoir the rise and fall of whose level depends upon the economic prosperity of the Colony?\n\nIt is absurd to pretend that the remuneration of Civil Servants has nothing to do with economics as it is to pretend that the dollar can be stabilised at any figure we like to name, regardless of economic conditions.\n\nEconomics may be briefly but accurately defined as the practical science of the production and distribution of wealth, and while all branches of the Civil Service may not be directly concerned with the production of wealth, they are all very vitally interested in the distribution of it.\n\nThe private employer-to quote Mr. OWEN HUGHES-must cut his coat according to his cloth; he cannot follow Sir HENRY GOLLAN's line of action and ignore the question of economics.\n\nThe Coming Reaction.\n\nThe problem with which the Colony is now faced is not solved by the simple process of raising an additional 16 lakhs of revenue.\n\nThere is no doubt that in Hong Kong taxation is too light to be called a burden, and there are many untapped sources of revenue which could be drawn upon without very seriously reacting upon the general cost of living.\n\nBut if a stenographer in a Government Department is to receive $447 a month for work which a woman in a business office does for $150, if a Chinese draughtsman in the public service is to get $233 for work similar to that done elsewhere for $100; if Government clerks are to receive $767 for work which is paid for elsewhere at $405, and men in the Public Works Department are to be paid $703 for services which can be engaged by private employers at $389-if all these larger salaries are to be paid...\n\nAt a moment when the one topic of local interest is the cost of public services, it is very interesting to recall that exactly eighty-eight years ago to-day England was ablaze with indignation at the imposition by Sir ROBERT PEEL of a tax on incomes.\n\nSays a well-known historian: It is hardly possible for us to realise the general horror in which this hated impost was then enveloped.\n\nThe fact of BROUGHAM procuring the destruction of all the public books and papers in which its odious accounts were recorded illustrates the intensity of the common sentiment.\n\nFrom 1842 to 1874 the question of the income-tax was the vexing enigma of public finance.\n\nWe take leave of this interesting aspect of English history by recalling that in 1860 Mr. GLADSTONE expressed the hope that the state of the nation's finances would soon make it possible to abolish the income-tax.\n\nThat day has not yet arrived, nor is it likely to come.\n\nRoom For Retrenchment.\n\nNow that it has been recognised by the Government that the recommendations of the Salaries Commission are justified, and that a general rise in the salaries of Civil Servants is warranted in order that they may receive an equitable remuneration for their services, we may expect to see a general demand for increased salaries among persons employed by private firms.\n\nThe Hong Kong community, however, is naturally much more concerned about what Sir WILLIAM PEEL said to the Legislative Council on June 19, 1930, than in Sir ROBERT PEEL's apologetics on June 21, 1842.\n\nThe Governor of Hong Kong has said-and none will disagree with him-that the payment of fair and adequate salaries is one of the first commitments of an employer, for a contented and adequate staff is an essential part of any undertaking.\n\nSir WILLIAM proceeded to make another statement on which there will not be such unanimity of opinion.\n\nHis Excellency, speaking with the proper reserve of one who realises he is not yet fully familiar with the facts, said he could not help feeling that we are somewhat overloaded in the matter of personnel, and that, further, there is room for retrenchment in other directions.\n\nFor this reason Sir WILLIAM PEEL adopted the suggestion made by Mr. OWEN HUGHES that a Retrenchment Committee be appointed to ascertain whether, where, and how money can be saved in administering the affairs of the Colony.\n\nEfficiency and Economy.\n\nThe point as to whether or not this Colony is in fact very lightly taxed compared with the burden imposed upon other communities has no bearing whatever upon the question whether our public services combine economy with efficiency of working.\n\nIt may be probably is- perfectly true that Hong Kong is one of the most lightly taxed places in the world, but that is no reason why the money raised by taxation should not be expended with the utmost regard for economy.\n\nBefore Mr. R. E. Lindsell yesterday, a Chinese messenger, employed at the Colonial Secretary's Office, was charged with the theft of a pair of trousers.\n\nHe told the Court that he took the trousers away from the complainant's property because the latter owed him $2.\n\nThe police, however, stated that when he was questioned earlier, the defendant had told a different tale.\n\nHis Worship remanded the defendant until this morning and, in doing so, warned him that if he still persisted in lying, he would be sent to gaol.",

To-day, it occupies an increasingly important position in the eyes of the world mainly by virtue of the fact that time has tested and proved the efficacy of its teaching.\n\nYesterday afternoon's Twentieth Congregation and conferment of degrees presented an unusually animated scene. The lawn adjoining the tennis courts of the University was thronged by a representative gathering of leading members of the European and Chinese communities who fraternised to the accompaniment of music played by the band of the King's Own Scottish Borderers and the rattle of teacups.\n\nThe Chancellor (His Excellency the Governor, Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G.) and the Vice-Chancellor of the University (Mr. W. W. Hornell, C.I.E.), gave prominence to many points of interest in addresses which were, as usual, of very great interest to all educationalists. Of special importance was the Governor's plea for the Chinese and English peoples to make greater efforts to study and understand each other's physical, mental, and spiritual aspirations in order that perfect accord and unanimity in the ideals and aims of both nations could result.\n\nAN IMPOSING PROCESSION.\n\nTo the impressive strains of Mancinelli's march, \"Cleopatra,\" a procession of some length filed into the Great Hall at 5 p.m. The congregation remained standing until His Excellency the Governor, in the black and gold robes of the Chancellor, declared the Congregation opened for the conferring of degrees.\n\nTHE PROCESSION.\n\nThe procession presented an imposing spectacle and was formed as follows:-\n\nHis Excellency the Chancellor, The Mace Bearer,\n\nThe Vice-Chancellor and The Hon.

        "content_text": "32\n\nTHE CHILD'S GUARDIAN.\n\nCHILDREN'S SUNDAY.\n\nISLE OF WIGHT. Children's Sunday was again celebrated in the Isle of Wight on March 2nd, and, as in former years, was most successful. The Society's claims were voiced from the pulpits of no less than seventy-eight places of worship throughout the Island during the day, and the publicity thus given to the work will be invaluable. In the morning Mr. J. T. Griffiths occupied the pulpit at Garfield Road Wesleyan Church, Ryde, and a well-attended Mass Meeting was held at night at the Town Hall, Ryde, under the patronage of the Hon. L. Mabel Gough-Calthorpe and Admiral of the Fleet the Hon. Sir Somerset A. Gough-Calthorpe. The Mayor presided over the gathering, and was supported by a number of Clergy and Ministers of the district. Miss N. M. A. Carey, the indefatigable Hon. Secretary to the Ryde Ladies' Committee, was again responsible for the arrangements, and is to be warmly congratulated on them.\n\nWATFORD.\n\nThe first Children's Sunday at Watford was celebrated on March 2nd, when references to the Society's work were made in a number of places of worship in the town and district. It is to be hoped that this initial effort will result in Children's Sunday becoming an annual feature in the activities of the Branch. The Society's thanks are due to Mr. H. Minton, the energetic Hon. Secretary, for his kindness in connection with the arrangements.\n\nGRATIFICATION.\n\nThis month sees the commencement of the Flag or Flower Day Street Collection season. Many friends have their arrangements well in hand, while those of others only await confirmation of the dates from the authorities.\n\nIt is very pleasing and encouraging to find that a number of Committees have responded to the appeal made in the December issue of this paper, and are arranging this form of collection for the first time in their respective areas. Grateful thanks are expressed to them and to all friends who are continuing this most lucrative method of augmenting the Society's funds. The opportunity is still open to those in the smaller towns and villages where applications for efforts of this nature are not so numerous to apply to their local authorities for sanction to hold Flag or Flower Day Collections. An appeal is, therefore, made that consideration be given to this form of effort.\n\nThe expenses of a Flower Day are negligible compared with the financial benefit accruing. All material is supplied from the Central Office, and full information will gladly be sent to anyone willing to arrange such an effort.\n\nCINEMA FILMS.\n\nThe Society's new film is now available for exhibition purposes, and we shall be most grateful if our friends throughout the country can prevail upon the proprietors of the cinemas in their districts to exhibit same, and if possible permit a collection to be made in aid of the Society's funds.\n\nThe film effectively illustrates the work of the Society, and is a considerable advance upon previous productions. Instead of being \"still-life\" photographs, the pictures are actual cinematograph pictures and make a very strong appeal.\n\nThe film is 445 feet long and takes about six minutes to show. Where it is possible to obtain consent to exhibit the film we should be glad if early intimation could be given of the dates and whether a collection is to be taken, for which purpose special collecting boxes will be sent.\n\nIn addition to the film mentioned above, the Society has two copies on sub-standard film (16 mm. size) for use in \"Kodascopes,\" Ensign \"Silent Sixteen,\" and many other home projectors. These are available to anyone interested in the Society's work who has the necessary apparatus for projection. It is an excellent way of seeing in the home what the Society is doing on behalf of children.\n\nAPRIL, 1930.\n\nTHE HOME IN THE FIELD.\n\nIn the heart of rural Essex, two miles from the main road and in the middle of an area nearly three miles from any lane, an Inspector had to surmount various difficulties before he could relieve the children whose case he had gone to investigate. Heavy rains had rendered road, path and field almost impassable. Twenty yards inside the first field the bicycle wheels became clogged with mud. The Inspector then had to carry it through deep mud and clay and over ditches and stiles. Practically cut off in the winter from village and town alike, this almost inaccessible house was found to be occupied by a farm labourer whose weekly earnings were 30s., out of which he paid 6s. in rent. The two children were delicate, their heads were \"crusted with dirt,\" and they presented every appearance of neglect. The Inspector attributed the condition of things generally to the ignorance of the mother, whose own state of health prompted him to secure the interest of the District Nurse, that she might come into town for the birth of her baby. Having rendered practical service to the children, the Inspector cycled nine miles to the railway station, covered in mud, \"as if,\" he reports, \"he had been engaged all day digging trenches in the clay.\" A passenger, noting the Inspector's clay-covered clothes, remarked: \"I thought your Society only dealt with children in towns.\" There cannot be many who entertain this opinion—if so, this case will help to correct it.\n\nAFTER FORTY YEARS.\n\nOne\n\nThe Certificate of Merit awarded by the Central Executive Committee to Mr. Reuben Saunders, of Leeds, in recognition of his long and valued services on behalf of suffering children, has just been presented to him by the Leeds Branch Hon. Secretary, Mr. Crawford, in the presence of the Workpeople's Committee and members of the Branch Executive Committee. Mr. Saunders has retired under the age-limit after serving the Society for forty years, the last nineteen of which have been spent as Clerk-in-charge of the Leeds office. Both Mr. and Mrs. Saunders have done valuable work in the City and district, and warm tributes were paid to both. The Chief Constable of the City (Mr. R. L. Matthews) and the Medical Officer of Health (Dr. Jervis) sent expressions of their appreciation of Mr. Saunders's efforts for the children of the City, and Mr. Crawford voiced the thanks of the many friends of the Society, and regret at the severance.\n\nMr. Crawford told how he had been closely associated with Mr. Saunders nearly the whole of the time he had been in Leeds, and recalled his own appointment as Branch Hon. Secretary in 1912, \"when the N.S.P.C.C. was not very popular in Leeds, and it was hard to raise enthusiasm.\" Referring to the formation of the Leeds Workpeople's Committee, Mr. Crawford said Mr. Saunders had done some of his best work in connection with this body. He had been its guide, its philosopher and friend, ever ready with his experience and advice, and had not spared himself in long and strenuous hours of labour in connection with the task the Workpeople's Committee took into its hands, and in raising very large sums of money by means of Flower Days and other efforts. Thanks largely to this Committee, said Mr. Crawford, there were now three Inspectors as against two seventeen years ago. During these years public interest had increased greatly, the Society enjoyed the confidence of Magistrates and public officials, and the Branch Executive was now well attended, and keen interest was shown in the work. In conclusion, said Mr. Crawford, \"may I add a personal note? I feel to-night I am saying 'good-bye' to a fellow-worker who has been associated with me for many years. Mr. and Mrs. Saunders will leave us with our sincere wishes for their welfare, and I hope they have before them many years of happiness and contentment.\"\n\nMr. Saunders, in his reply, said his work had been one of love, and but for the help of his wife in the early days he could not have carried it to a successful conclusion.\n\nPublished by WILLIAM J.

Tributes were paid to them by the Hon. Mr. H. T. Creasy, the Director of Public Works and H. E. Mr. W. T. Southorn.\n\nThe first part of the ceremony was carried out at Queen's Pier, where Mr. Southorn was met by the Director of Public Works, and Mr. R. M. Henderson, his Assistant, who is in charge of the Water Works. His Excellency was accompanied by Mrs. Southorn, together with Sir Henry Pollock, Sir Shouson Chow, Hon. Mr. E. D. C. Wolfe, (Inspector General of Police), members of the P.W.D., and Legislative Council.\n\n## A Proud Achievement\n\nThe Hon.

Many portions of the Scheme have already been completed viz: - The Intake Reservoir, The Tunnels and Conduit, The Reception Reservoir, The Mechanical Filtration Plant, The Land Pipe Line conveying the Shing Mun River water to Kowloon Point, The Service Reservoir now under construction and lastly the Harbour Pipe Line now completed and connected with the Hongkong City Mains.\n\n\"To have brought works of such magnitude to a successful completion is an achievement of which any Civil Engineer might well be proud.\n\n### Difficulties and Delay\n\nThough other portions of the Scheme were proceeded with there was considerable delay in deciding the method that should be adopted for the Harbour Pipe Crossing, more elaborate and expensive schemes were proposed and indeed it was suggested that the Pipe should be laid in the often proposed Tunnel under the Harbour if, and when, constructed.\n\nMr. Henderson's proposals for the Harbour Crossing were recommended and referred to the Consulting Engineers to the Crown Agents. Early in 1929 Mr. Henderson proceeded Home to consult with both Prophet and Sage and he \"heard great argument about it and about\" with the result that his method was approved and he hurried back to put the work in hand.\n\nIn spite of difficulties augmented by the late delivery of materials (the prompt delivery of which had been promised) this work has been brought to a successful completion at a cost of $260,000 which is considerably under the original estimate.\n\n## The Pipe Line\n\nThe total length of the Harbour Pipe Line from Kowloon to Hongkong is 5,914 ft., or nearly 1 1/8 miles.\n\nThe internal diameter of the Lapwelded Steel pipe is 12.265″ or approximately 12 1/4″, it is 7/16″ thick and is protected by double Hessian wrapping impregnated with hot bitumastic solution. The Pipe Line is made up of 63 sections with 66 Albion loose flange joints and was manufactured by Messrs. Stewart and Lloyds, Glasgow.\n\nThere are 23 flexible ball and socket joints and 4 valves, these specials being provided by Messrs. Glenfield and Kennedy.\n\n| Description | Quantity | Weight/Details |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Anchor blocks | 15 | 17 tons each |\n| Reinforced Cement Concrete anchor piles | 11 pairs |  |\n| Rubble foundations |  | 1,370 ft.

The payment of a wage of about 4d per week is small enough, but of its actual payment there appears to be no evidence.\n\n2. Hours of Labour. Following upon the question of wages, we suggest that the Administration might now place a more rigid restriction upon the hours of labour. In the opinion of our Committee, no child should be compelled to labour for longer than a few hours each day.\n\n3. Inspection. Our Committee attaches great importance to the question of inspection. Here again we have not observed that the Governor has taken any administrative action upon the question of Inspection and Control, as instructed in your Despatch of 22nd August, 1929. In this connection we have noted with interest that a sub-Committee of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children was appointed as far back as 28th April of last year, in order to examine and report upon the question. We trust that the Report of this sub-Committee is now in the hands of the Government and that without delay suitable persons will be secured to undertake this inspection of treatment. We are informed that Lady Chow and Mrs. R.H. Kotewall have been giving some oversight to the girls taken to the Po Leung Kuk, and it is probable that they would be willing to place their experience at the disposal of the Government in order to assist in securing a suitable inspection of the 4,000 Mui Tsai already registered.\n\nWe have not observed that any steps are being taken to provide adequate accommodation for Mui Tsai who may be abandoned or who may be the victims of ill-treatment, but our information leads us to fear that if and when adequate inspection is organised, this need will be continue...",

Yes, to them.\n\nTo any other item?\n\nYour Compradore paid $45,000.00 in cash on the 30th\n\nI can hardly believe that he paid cash $45,000.00.\n\n$45,000.00 I do not know whether he did or not.\n\nYou say you will not believe our cash books because it has these items, because you dislike the way it is done?\n\nYes.\n\nIs there anything in these transactions in the cash books which you don't like, which is antagonistic to the explanations given in the Public Examination?\n\nNo.\n\nAnd you are satisfied that those entries in the books are not inconsistent with the statement? The cash book is consistent with the explanation given.\n\nIs consistent?\n\nYes.\n\nI am going to put it to you that the correct definition of cash is \"coin or the right to command coin.\" Would you accept that as a sound definition of cash? I do not think I am in a position to define cash.\n\nIn your opinion is that a fair definition of cash?\n\nHis Lordship's\n\nThat is a matter for the jury.\n\nRE-EXAMINED BY MR.

How was it done?\n\nThe chief item was the repayment of the loan of $432,000.00 by Mrs. Brewer.\n\nSo that apart from that $432,000.00 how much would it have been reduced by? Can you give me that?\n\n...\n\nNo, I cannot give it you.\n\nDo you know who reduced that loan besides the $432,000.00 which nearly accounts for the whole? No, I cannot tell you.\n\nYou say you cannot name anyone who reduced their loan?\n\nNo, I cannot tell you unless I go through the books. I am dealing with two different dates and did not anticipate that you would ask me these together. At the time of the Balance Sheet I divided these loans up and some are under the heading of Promissory Notes and others are under the heading of Collateral Security Loans.\n\nBY COURT\n\nA\n\nA\n\nDid this repayment go through the cash book? No, my Lord, it went through the Journal.\n\nIt did not go through the cash book at all; it is merely the reverse of a different entry?\n\nThe loan was repaid according to the Journal by cash but cash did not go through the cash book as it should have done.",

The Shekhi îrench opened on the 27th of March, 1928 and the Instone Trading Company was incorporated on the 21st of April, 1928. Then we formed this Trading Company, we had no wish that the benefit of all our efforts should be entirely reaped by outside shareholders who would simply come in and purchase, so before putting the shares on the market we arranged for the exchange of shares between the Instone Bank and the Instone Trading Company, which would enable us to maintain control of the Trading Company. The fact that Mrs. Brower was holding shares of the Company as trustee, made it natural that we should pick on these shares to exchange with the Instone Trading Company, and we did that and thus were enabled to get rid of this trusteeship. But had Mrs. Brewer never held a share in the Company, it would still have been considered desirable by the Instone Bank to effect this exchange of shares solely to keep control of the Company which we had given a start in life.\n\nBefore adjourning, you have given evidence with reference to Yu Kee Kan's account showing that the shares were taken up on or about the 16th April when the cash deposit was paid and the loan was not taken out before the 10th June. I am interested in the fact that the findings were not of even date. Will you consider that point.\n\n(COURT ADJOURNED 1 p.m.)\n\n(REASSEMBLED 2.15 p.m.)\n\nBefore the adjournment you were dealing with Mrs. Brewer's account.\n\nThe majority of these loans were effected on June the 10th, 1927 irrespective of the initial 5% received for them. Five per cent was payable on application and by a resolution of the Directors, another 5% was made payable on the 10th June, 1927. Prior to June 10th, 1927 only 5% was payable. Yu Kee Man's loan was on the 10th of June. On that date twelve loans were made and there were five others during the month of June, 1928.\n\nWhy were the loans postponed?\n\nBecause the people concerned were not present at the meeting on that date. In the case of Dorothy Brewer the postponement was due because it had not been decided whether she should take up the shares. On the 10th of June she was not in possession of the shares.\n\nDid she not apply?\n\nI cannot recall that. According to the books Mrs. Brewer entered into the contract of the loan on the 20th June. 10% was paid on the 21st June. The loan was delayed owing to the question of her indemnity.\n\nI have explained how Mrs. Brewer got her shares, why the Instone Banking and the Instone Bank wished to exchange shares. I will now explain how it was done. With a desire to \"kill two birds with one stone\", the Instone Trading Company purchased all shares from Mrs. Brewer. She held $450,000.00 worth of shares.\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31",

Your refund was to the Company, the only people who could deal with the refund had to be the Company.\n\nIt is being held for and on behalf of the Company. The Company can direct anything they like to be done with their own money. (Resolution read re the power to allot shares) That placed the whole matter in your hands. You and you alone were given power to allot shares. Why were you willing to take the money in advance of calls, that is to say the extra 90%?\n\nI was not willing to take it, I was only willing to take it if they reborrowed it.\n\n(Reading Chow Quei Ming's application) He comes and asks for a loan. Why do you say these people are thrusting money on you? It is perfectly rightly wording it, but you are misinterpreting it. I say that these people came with the intention of paying the money in full, I said I will only accept the money if you will accept the loan, because it is the most satisfactory way of settling it. (Mr. Brewer read the application form).\n\nIf a man comes with the money and is ready to pay, the man says \"I apply for a loan, etc.\" (Reading application form).\n\nIt is worded this way because it is the clearest way of saying we have a lien on the shares.\n\nIf what you say is true, he has not borrowed it to pay for the shares, he had paid for the shares and is borrowing for his own advantage.\n\nWe were anxious to put the transaction in the clearest form. The essence of the transaction is, he makes a loan which will be a lien on his shares.\n\nIs not the real reason that you had not the money to pay?.\n\nAll these men are men of standing, we had no men who could not afford to pay $9,000.00 I think your attempts to get money were not very successful?.\n\nIt is not business to say whether these demands have or have not been effective. You bought a building, why did you not pay for it?.\n\nBY COURT\n\nDid the Instone bank buy the building?.",

The agreement would be about April, 1927\n\nWhat was the agreed price? $240,000.00.\n\nWhere was the building? 25, Des Voeux Road Central.\n\nHow did you manage to pay for it? $150,000.00 was allowed to remain on mortgage. And the balance, we paid in cash.\n\nHow was it you left so much on mortgage? We paid $90,000.00 off.\n\nDid you pay it at once? It was paid from time to time as called for by the bill of sale.\n\nWas not the building the property of one of your Directors? Not to my knowledge.\n\nIt originally belonged to the original bank? Yes, it was sold to us through a broker.\n\nFrom whom did you get the assignment? I believe it was from the Official Receiver.\n\nWhat about Lui Vai? I can't say without looking up the documents. Nobody has made any money out of this bank to my knowledge.\n\nYou did not buy direct from the original bank? No.\n\nDid not Yow Fun(?) buy it for $205,000.00 and sell it to you for $240,000.00? I don't believe it.\n\nA little later on, October, 1928, you wanted money in advance? After Canton and Shekki had closed down.\n\nYou had all those advances still in existence and the only way you could raise $20,000.00 was on a mortgage on which you had to pay 24%? Not the only way, but the quickest way and if you will consult the Directors' Minutes, you will see that I was ordered to do it.\n\nWhat I am pointing out is that these people were so well off and you had about three lakhs still there, yet you had to pay 24% on a mortgage. (Mr. ... read the Minutes concerning the mortgage) After the Canton and Shekki branches were closed the only way we could collect was through the Law Courts, and that is a very slow way.\n\nThere is only one, Yu Ki Han, you sued. No, there were none.\n\nDid the arrangement between Mrs. Brewer and the Bank arise through the failure of the people in payment, not doing as you expected? When did you first know they were not going to pay? I should say we did not give up hopes until about January, 23.\n\nThe negotiations had not fallen through? No.\n\nYou formed the Instone Trading Company in April? Yes.",

He was under the obligation of paying the loan. You did not receive sufficient at all.\n\nThis $55,000.00 that Mrs. Brever had, where was it obtained?\n\nI would like to mention that it was explained in my Public Examination. (Explanation given as per the Public Examination, also the letter to the Directors read).\n\nWe have heard next mention as regards a competent manager which was to be appointed. There was Mr. Chow Sing Chor, he was a director of ours and held $100,000.00 worth of shares in the Company. He was the manager of several banks in Canton and they were very keen on getting him and he from time to time promised that he would do so but kept putting it off. I pestered the Directors to provide me with this manager. There was another general manager who was being considered, so that on March 22nd I gave Mr. Chow Sing Chor a last chance to accept this position of managership or refuse. He wrote a letter refusing, whereupon we invited the second man on the list and his application would be accepted. The man who was invited was compelled to put it off until after the audit of the books. He was the auditor of our firm.\n\nSince the audit, we had the Canton and Shekki trouble and so the matter lapsed.\n\nThere was never any intention of advertising in the open market, so to speak.\n\nNo, because the Directors wanted Chow Sing Chor and nobody else. They preferred to keep one interested in the bank.\n\nI do not understand how the business was carried on, but when there is practically no margin of interest between the loan and money paid in advance, it seems extraordinary that a President and ten Directors were working for love. How did they consider that a good working arrangement?\n\nThere was no attempt to make any profit out of this system of borrowing and lending money. The whole object was simply to transfer a debt which could be called upon. We made our profit working as a bank, declaring $95,000.00 net profit for the first year's working. The clerical work was very minute.\n\nI should have thought it would have been a considerable amount of work.\n\nYou must remember that the people who benefited by these transactions were the bank and not the shareholders. Because the shareholder is obligated to pay 10% not more, whereas they voluntarily offered to pay the full 100.\n\nThey gained nothing for it?\n\nThe only argument which I could induce them to do this was for the good of the firm. The directors when we started really considered the idea of building up the firm.\n\nHis Lordship:\n\nThe advantage to prospective shareholders was they expected to share all the profits of the firm.\n\nMr. Thomson: You say you had applications for $2,800,000.00 a lot of which people were willing to pay up more than 5 or 10%.",

You told me that yesterday. And I said, I would like to refer to the cash book. I am not trying to trap you. You stated yesterday that you might have taken money. You did not receive money in the form of cash or cheque, did you? In what form did you receive it? I did not receive banknotes or cash, I received a Compradore's Order.\n\nMr. Fitzroy:\n\nI received a Compradore's order and did not present it, pending negotiations.\n\nHis Lordship:\n\nYou said in your letter you were prepared to refund $55,000.00 and as you never received it, is the result, not because you never received it, but you surrendered your right to call that $55,000.00?\n\nMr. Fitzroy:\n\nNo, because I had received a Compradore's order which was as good as cash, which is the same as a cheque. I actually handed back that Compradore's order and handed to the bank the equivalent.\n\nHis Lordship:\n\nWhen you handed back this Compradore's order to the Directors?\n\nMr. Fitzroy:\n\nThat is right, don't you?\n\nHis Lordship:\n\nQuite.\n\nI only want to get this clear. That Compradore's Order was never cashed?\n\nMr. Fitzroy:\n\nIt was never cashed but the money was there and that is the origin of the amount of $45,000.00. The Compradore paid $45,000.00 in cash to me.\n\nHis Lordship:\n\nWith regard to the $48,000.00 which Mrs. Brewer paid, that was nothing more than a book entry. Mrs. Brewer never had $48,000.00 in her possession?

I was lucky not to be tied down.\n\nYou took up $20,000.00 worth of shares?\n\nMr. Fitzroy:\n\nI paid $30,000.00 for them - shares to the value of $20,000.00 fully paid up shares. 10% and 90% in advance.\n\nHis Lordship:\n\nYou paid $20,000.00 and that included 90% in advance?\n\nMr. Fitzroy:\n\nYes.\n\nHis Lordship:\n\nI understand how $13,000.00 was paid but how was the $7,000.00 balance paid?\n\nPage 40\n\nPage 41",

Yes, for which a receipt has been exhibited. I have a receipt for $10,000.00. That is quite correct. (Exhibit KK referred to) Is that the document you referred to, or another?. That is the document.\n\nIs that the document?. This is the receipt of the transaction?. That is the receipt but the original was for $7,000.00. That is a combined receipt as I explained. Where is the other receipt?. That was returned.\n\nThis is the first mention you have made of this compradore order. In your Public Examination you said :- (Public Examination read Page 27, 4th paragraph) (Mr. Brewer was allowed to refer to a Copy)\n\n(Exhibit Al \"Ledger\" and Ex.

It was.\n\nNot a word about you surrendering the compradore order to Mrs. Brewer at all.\n\nI think if you will read that you will see that it is quite clear.

It seems much more reasonable to me that the books should show the time after you have received the letter, when you did something.\n\nI am quite prepared to accept it. It is immaterial.\n\nThe only thing I am trying to get from you is, that you never said one thing about the compradore order before. (Continued reading Public Examination)\n\nat maker $10,000.00 as to that receipt?. Yes.\n\nDo you know whether Mrs. Brewer actually drew $55,000.00 in actual cash from the Compradore?.

I presume she did not.\n\n42\n\nHow was it you did not explain this compradore order in the Public Examination?\n\nI could not because I was continually being told off for saying more than I ought to, but you can see from the language I used.\n\nYou said you had a right to demand cash.\n\nI had the right to pay this into my account; I cannot pay an agreement into my account.\n\nI don't think anybody had the slightest idea, and I don't think anybody suggested that there was a compradore order in existence until today.\n\nYou will admit that there is nothing antagonistic to that in the statement.\n\nI am not questioning the fact that the comprador order will explain matters, but I do say that it is very regrettable that you did not say it before.\n\nThis compradore order, do you know what became of it?\n\nI presume it is also among the cash documents of the firm. Mr. Agassiz can tell you whether it is there or not.\n\nThe compradore made a special payment of $55,000.00 into the cash account.\n\nWas that under security?\n\nIt was under the heading of \"Private Security\". Were you drawing on the Compradore's security to pay the Company's debts?\n\nIf the Compradore approves it would be perfectly legitimate.\n\nDid he approve?\n\nThe money remained under his control and if he disapproved he need never pay it.\n\nDo you know whether he approved or not?\n\nIt was never paid as far as I know.\n\nYou say $7,000.00 was paid out?\n\nThat was paid out of my own pocket.\n\nSo the Compradore security was the only way by which the 48,000.00 could be met?\n\nAt that particular time.\n\nThe $48,000.00 was met, if there was money paid out for the shares at all. We know these shares were taken up by Mrs. Brewer.\n\nI can only say that I don't know that the compradore order was ever actually cashed. I am prepared to admit that at the time the only money in the firm that would have met it would have been the compradore's money.\n\nBut I can say that it could not have been done without the consent of the compradore. If it was not cashed it was not met?\n\nA.\n\nI consider that the compradore order was cashed; the company is prepared to accept its own cheque as cash, and I see no reason why it should not.\n\nI\n\nQ.\n\nA.\n\nQ.\n\nA.\n\nIt is an order on the Compradore and not the Company. The Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank will issue a compradore order as their own cheque.\n\nI don't think they would issue one for $55,000.00 if they have only $9,000.00 or so in hand. That is another matter. Presumably before that compradore order was issued to me the compradore's consent was obtained. I see no reason to doubt it.",

I presume that the Company accepted its own compradore order.\n\nYou are the person allotting shares and you have to be satisfied that this money was paid in cash. Did you satisfy yourself or did you assume it was all right?.\n\nI satisfied myself that the books showed the money had been paid in cash, because cash payments did not come through me. I was not the cashier. Surely you must know how shares were allotted to Mrs. Brewer?.\n\nAll that is brought along to me is a receipt, brought along to me the same as any other shareholder.\n\nDo you remember any receipt for this $48,000.00. Do you remember or don't you?.\n\nI would not like to swear that I definitely remember the individual transaction, but I must have seen a receipt otherwise I would not have issued the shares. My point is that before I issued any share script I saw a receipt.\n\nA\n\nI think there is no real dispute as to the facts of this. Firstly there is an agreement you signed to the Company, that is the whole item of value up to Mrs. Brewer's payment of the shares, the Company took over the agreement and agreed to pay you $68,000.00. You agreed to accept $13,000.00 and to forego $55,000.00. As to the whole of it you received a compradore order for $68,000.00. The compradore order you assigned to your wife. I endorsed and handed it to my wife.\n\nYou endorsed it over to your wife?.\n\nShe there\n\nI endorsed the balance over to my wife, for she held it as $55,000.00 on behalf of the Company and it was the portion of this $55,000.00 appear in on this compradore order passing through the books of the bank to pay for the shares which she took up.\n\nThe only item of value was the value to be placed on the agreement you assigned to the bank. You told us that the people who took up these shares were ready and willing to pay their money.\n\nCan you possibly say Mrs. Brewer was ever ready at any time to hand over $432,000.00?.\n\nMost decidedly. If the firm had required her to pay over the money on her debt, she would have at once proceeded against the people who indemnified her against it.\n\nCan you say at any time she was in possession of $432,000.00?.\n\nMrs. Brewer was never in possession of $432,000.00 and she would never accept such a liability. How much could she have paid?.\n\nA few thousand or so. $15,000.00.\n\nShe might have paid $15,000.00?.\n\nYes.\n\nIn your statutory Report you include this $432,000.00 as having been received in cash by the Company. Yes.\n\nYet you knew perfectly well that all that money had not been received, that at least $400,000.00 could not possibly ever be recovered?.",

Yes.\n\nIf you see shares in the Share Register in the name of a given person and nothing on record of a trust, would you be prepared to accept the shares as property of the person named? Certainly.\n\nIf you find that the shares have been paid for in cash as to 10% would you not assume that had been paid by the owner, with his or her own money? Certainly.\n\nAnd if no notice of a trust appears on the Company's records, would the Company have to acknowledge having received cash? Certainly.\n\nQuestioned by Mr. Thomson, Foreman of the Jury.\n\nA. Q.\n\nA.\n\nQ.\n\nA.\n\nBY COURT.\n\nQ.\n\nA.\n\nCan you see any reason why shareholders should have been asked to fill in these forms? I could not answer that question.\n\nWhen the Company was founded the applicants were asked to pay $5. A little later they were asked to pay a further $5, apparently they were in need of ready cash but instead of actual cash being paid on the second call, they were allowed to fill in a promissory note.\n\nI could not answer that question, it is entirely a matter with the Bank. I would only be too pleased to get my share capital into some solid security, provided the people were people whom I could call on demand.\n\nYou would accept a mere signature as a security? Yes.\n\nYou have only $5.00 can you see any reason for using the form? The Directors were in the unique position by being able to call up the whole of the 95% on demand. Far better than calling up on capital? Yes, I think so.\n\nWould you not have called up more capital in the first place? Here is little more than 5% on some and 10% on some, I would.\n\n(Statutory Report referred to) You say you might have drawn that Report up different. Can you suggest how? I might have added a rider to the extent of this, That included in the amount of $876,750.00 a portion of that amount was paid for by loans made to the shareholders for which personal security had been given. My whole idea of this transaction is this, once the transaction took place of transferring capital to loan, in my opinion, are fully paid up shares.\n\n(Mr. Brewer said that Mrs. Brewer was at the disposal of His Lordship and Mr. Fitzroy but it was decided that Mrs. Brewer's evidence was not required).\n\n(COURT ADJOURNED 3.30 p.m.)\n\n(Legal Parts).",

They intended to pay us cash, and we intended to lend them cash.\n\nJudge:- As a matter of fact, when you purported to make these advances of over $600,000.00 out of what did you make these advances? Out of payments by shareholders.\n\nIn what form did they pay? They paid by They would have paid in cash if I had been willing to accept. They paid all their calls in bank notes.\n\nJudge:- The expectation of their paying up what they undertook to pay is what you call cash? No, My Lord. They came in prepared to pay bank notes.\n\nmoney.\n\n$600,000.00 worth of bank notes? I don't know. The first ones to come in came in to hand me the full amount of their shares. There was $2,800,000.00 worth of shares out. I did not want to receive that amount of money within inexperienced bank officers. I said I would only accept money in advance of call if the man making it would take out a loan upon which I could call in 24 hours.\n\nJudge:- How did they pay. They had come along and said \"I want to pay this money\"? I gave them a cash receipt, and there and then made a loan.\n\nIncluded in this 6 lakhs was there a loan of $432,000.00 advanced to Mrs.Brewer? There was, but as you are aware there is a full explanation of that.\n\nI would be glad to hear it that was not paid in Cash? No.\n\nIt was included in your cash book? It followed the custom of the bank.\n\nThat was advanced on no security? She was trustee of those shares and advance of call and took out e loan\n\nOn her having paid.\n\nshe paid her money in in respect of that.\n\nYou seriously say Mrs. Brewer paid $48,000 to the bank? Not in bank notes - she paid it in exactly the same way as was laid down. There is a long story leading up to it which I will give if you desire.\n\nI put it to you during the month of June you received no actual cash when you lent 6 lakhs you received actual cash for shares $16,400.00. I will take that to represent the amount of bank notes received, and the rest was proceeds of there loans made by the company? Bot the proceeds.\n\nI put it to you that nothing was ever received by any of the shareholders except a promissory note? If nothing was received by the Company, we could not pay anything out.\n\nthat was\n\nThe Company made loans against Promissory Notes the beginning and end of the transaction? I disagree.\n\nIn the month of July, 1927, you granted further loans to your shareholders to the extent of $142,000.00? Very likely, I think it is probable.\n\nWould you like to look at any book? If you wish me to make it definite.\n\n(Journal handed\n\n... \n\nI would like to have it clear please? to witness) Loan in July amounting to $142,000\n\n22.\n\n29.",

It was just what we wanted.\n\nYou were to issue bonds on which a small amount was payable each month as long as those payments were kept up you would not call in the loan? That was the intention behind the whole system, because that brought us in a revenue steadily, instead of a whole lump sum.\n\nThe point being to give shareholders 10 years to pay for their shares? Yes, and we would have constant money coming in.\n\nDo you think a loan payable in that time is correctly described as a short term on call? No, had the bonds been taken out they would not be described that way.\n\nWas no advantage taken of this offer? By one man only.\n\nCan you suggest any reason? No, I have always tried to point out the advantage of it and they could not see it. Right from the start I have been at them all the time. I would certainly have done it myself.\n\nNext item. Mortgage and Long Term Loans $266,630.00 that was a cross-entry in your book? I think you are right. It is difficult for me to make a definite statement on that point. I did not know it at the time this balance sheet was made out.\n\nI say it was not a mortgage or long term loan. It is just a cross-entry? I say that if I made this myself I would have found it, but reasonable inspection would not have discovered that, because it is an error on both sides.\n\nI am going to put it to you further - that this asset of $260,000 did not exist? That is quite possible.\n\nIt was merely a cross-entry? It was not deliberately done. The balance sheet was made out by the auditor. I subjected it to a reasonable inspection, but I don't think it is unreasonable to overlook a double entry; that should have been wiped off, but no reasonable inspection could have discovered it.\n\nHow can you bring yourself to describe an inter-branch transaction as a Mortgage and Long Term Loan it is a large item? It is not in amount of $1,000,000.00. I probably ought to have discovered it but I did not because that balance sheet exists in the Hong Kong branch and the Head Office.\n\nBy no possible stretch of imagination could they be described as they are described it is not a mortgage? That is the way they appear in the Branch book.\n\nAn ordinary business man looking at this would assume that it was a perfectly good asset? Quite, it should not be there. I did not stop it.\n\nNow, the next item. \"Stocks, Shares and Other Investments\". $484,831.80 $415,000.00 of that amount represents shares in the Instone Trading Co.? Yes.\n\nThat was a private company? Yes.\n\nThe two original shareholders were Mrs Brewer and P.C. Leo? Mr. Li Yuk Ting?\n\nYes.\n\nThe Memorandum and Articles of that Company were prepared by\n\n25",

That is correct.\n\nAnd that $48,000.00 was used by her to pay the allotment and first call on the 4800 shares held by her? That is correct.\n\nSo Mrs Brewer was a trustee for these shares? She must be regarded as a trustee she has no beneficial interest.\n\nThese arrangements were made in April, 1927? Yes.\n\nThis answer if made (which I doubt) is unsound. See date of letters previously read. Earliest is dated 28th May, 1927 (page 27 para 14).\n\nOn the 12th May, 1927, a directors meeting was held - the following resolution was passed \"That the shares Nos 1 - 4800 remain unallotted at present and held in reserve for Mr Instone Brewer or his nominee and shall be allotted to him if and when he make application for same.\" Why were these shares held in reserve for you or your nominee? That was just when this point was being decided. Because I was going to take them if I got the whole consideration money and if I did not keep the whole consideration money, I was not.\n\nWere these shares allotted to Mrs Brewer? were allotted to Mrs Brewer.\n\nAfterwards they\n\nAnd this reservation of shares was in fact in part payment of the consideration money in Agreement A? Until it was known how much consideration money I was in fact receiving, I was unable to say how many shares I was prepared to purchase - therefore these particular shares were held up in the allotment until the question of a refund of consideration money had been settled one way or the other.\n\nMrs Brewer paid the allotment on first call - $48,000.00 was part of the consideration money in that agreement? Yes.\n\nIt was not paid in cash in my sense of the word? No.\n\nthat\n\nOn June 28th, 1927, according to your Loan Register, a loan of $432,000.00 was made to Mrs Brewer? I know it to be true.\n\nWhy was that loan made? In order to fully pay the shares.\n\nIf you\n\nWhy did you want to fully pay the shares at that time?\n\nread the letter, you will see these shares were to be sold fully paid to the Peking buyers.\n\nBy a book entry of a loan to Mrs Brewer, they became fully paid? The process was identical to what had been done with the other clients. You see it is quite clearly set out in that letter, what is to be done.\n\nThe Peking people never did take up the greater portion of their shares. 4500 out of 4800 shares remained on Mrs Brewer's hands and those 4500 were the shares of the Instone Banking Corporation which she sold to the Instone Trading Co.? Correct.\n\nThe arrangement with the Instone Trading became necessary because the arrangement with the Peking people did not go forward, and you wanted to get rid of these shares somehow, and so you transferred them to the Instone Trading? That is a reasonable statement.\n\n29",

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.

A. Mollison, of four days seventeen hours by ten and a half hours and that despite nine hours lost at Benguella owing to lack of oil pressure, due to sand getting into her engine while crossing the Sahara.\n\nThe King sent his hearty congratulations on her splendid achievement.\n\nLast May Miss Amelia Earhart achieved lasting fame as the first woman to fly the Atlantic alone, and she was awarded the American Distinguished Flying Cross by President Hoover. We hope that our own country will be no less generous in bestowing on Mrs. Mollison a suitable honour.\n\nUniversity Woman's Appointment\n\nMiss A. Margaret Tillyard, M.A., has been appointed by the chief officers of the Halls of Residence as one of their representatives upon the Court of Governors of the University of Manchester.\n\nWoman Chairman of Health Committee\n\nMiss K. M. Worrall has been selected as chairman of Birkenhead Health Committee. She is the first woman in Birkenhead to occupy that position.\n\nWoman's Advertising Post\n\nMrs. Simmonds has been appointed as their advertising manager by Messrs. Wolsey, Ltd., the British hosiery manufacturing firm. This is said to be one of the biggest appointments in the world of advertising. Mrs. Simmonds for some time previously had been conducting market research for this firm. She was formerly private secretary to Sir William Crawford, head of one of the big London advertising agencies.\n\nWoman Sculptor Wins Again\n\nMiss Helen V. Mackay has for the second year in succession been awarded the £100 prize given annually by the Feodora Gleichen Memorial Fund for the best piece of work by a woman sculptor.\n\nWomen to Make Films\n\nTo-day's Cinema reports that an organisation of women has just been formed to produce films. The company is being registered as the British Women's Picture Corporation. The president will be the Dowager Lady Raglan.\n\nWOMEN LAWYERS\n\nLast week six women were among the ninety-one successful law students called to the bar in the hall of the Inns of Court. They were: Mrs. Alice G. Morrice (Lincoln's Inn); Miss E. I. Froggatt (Inner Temple); Miss Ursula B. C. Newell (Middle Temple); Dr. Flora H. M. Calder (Middle Temple); Miss Marie M. Delage (Gray's Inn); Miss Mary R. Tabor (Gray's Inn).\n\nMiss Newell was called at the same time as her elder brother, and is the daughter of a retired County Court Judge. Dr. Flora Calder, M.A., M.D., Ch.B., Edin. Univ., D.P.M., Royal College of Physicians, Eng., is an assistant medical officer of the County Mental Hospital, Winwick, Warrington. Miss Mary Tabor is a municipal officer of the Norwich Corporation. She has been in the city engineer's estates department since March.\n\nThe following women were among the successful candidates at the Intermediate Examination of the Law Society (for solicitors), held on November 2nd and 3rd. A candidate is not obliged to take both parts of the examination at the same time:\n\nPassed: Mabel Harold.\n\nThe following passed the legal portion only: Hilda M. Charbonnier, Freda Gaukroger, Dorothy Hedges, Agnes W. Knight, Annie D. Litten, Joan L. S. O'Connor.\n\nThe following passed the trust accounts and book-keeping portion only: Anne E. James.\n\nFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1932\n\nTHE BEGUM SHAH NAWAZ\n\nThe Begum Shah Nawaz, the only woman among thirty-two Indian representatives appointed to attend the third Indian Round Table Conference, arrived in London last Saturday. She then stated that she hoped to help to do great things for India, and particularly for the women of India. Things were improving, she said, but there was need for much further advance.\n\nThe Conference entered upon its detailed work at the House of Lords last Monday.\n\nA NEW CECIL HOUSE\n\nThe thrill of a fifth Cecil House for homeless women is the hope of the immediate future. To collect funds for this a meeting was convened by Mrs. Cecil Chesterton and her supporters at the Cambridge Theatre (London) on November 18. It was marvellous, for there were nine speakers and more, and not a touch of dullness! The aim was its own plea. A warm glow of generous love seemed to flood the packed theatre, and every word from the platform increased it. Already a site has been found and secured across the river—in Tower Street, S.E.1. To set it going £5,000 is needed, towards which a creditable sum was raised.\n\nThere were two M.P.s—Mr. Adrian Moreing, a Londoner, in the chair; and Mr. D. G. Somerville, who, with Miss Helena Pickard, ably raked in cheques and \"promises,\" and new subscribers. Both members shed all the trappings of Parliamentary eloquence and became inspiringly human and direct in this heart-warming cause. Mr. Louis Golding made a tender, poetical speech, paying special tribute to the old women uprooted in the storms of life, to whom the Cecil Houses are such a boon; of their charm, and their subtle spiritual relationships. \"All things they have in common being so poor.\" Miss Sheila Kaye Smith followed, with what he had called her \"Green Apple\" eloquence, and spoke of what it meant to every woman to come back to a bed after a long, tiring day—even more than it meant to a man: \"Women must have what they call a home.\" It is essential to the feminine nature.\n\nAnd at a Cecil House it is \"home\" with bed, warmth, and food for 1s. a night. No forms to fill in—the need of shelter passport enough. But some have the shilling and can't get in. Mr. J. B. Priestley, introduced by Mr. Moreing as a \"Good Companion,” also said a few sympathetic words.\n\nMr. Ernest Milton, who had been over two Cecil Houses, said how much he was struck by their brightness of colouring, and by the atmosphere of confidence and friendliness and self-respect. He described the attitude of the matrons as more like that of \"a pleasant buxom hostess of a solid provincial hotel.\"\n\nWhen Mrs. Chesterton entered a house with a cheery \"Good evening, ladies,\" she came as a woman and a friend.\n\nThe Chairman presented Mrs. Chesterton as the \"heroine of the work.\" She spoke in moving words of what could be done for the \"down-and-outs\" in giving them back their self-respect and fighting spirit. And she told how at the Harrow Road House they were getting new recruits of a different class: trained nurses, girl clerks, and others, unemployed and cut off by poverty from their own kind. Dainty Miss Pickard related a personal experience of being stranded in Hanley (Staffs) when on tour, and how she had longed for a Cecil House.\n\nE. M. E.\n\nSIXTEEN WOMEN MAYORS!\n\nAlderman Mrs. Keynes, Mayor of Cambridge, points out an omission in our list of Women Mayors—Mrs. Carr, Mayor of Godmanchester. This brings the number of women mayors up to sixteen—six of whom are in East Anglia.\n\nPage 379\n\nFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1932\n\nChild Marriage\n\nTHE VOTE\n\nIN PARLIAMENT\n\nMISS RATHBONE (Ind., Eng. Universities) on November 14 asked the Secretary of State for India whether the Census Reports for 1931 are sufficiently available for him to supply figures showing whether and to what extent, the practice of child marriage in India has decreased since the previous census.\n\nSIR SAMUEL HOARE: I regret that I am not yet in a position to supply this information.\n\nMISS RATHBONE asked the Secretary of State for India (1) if he will supply figures showing the number of prosecutions that have taken place under the Sarda Act in Restraint of Child Marriage in the years 1930, 1931, and 1932 respectively; (2) if he can now report the result of his inquiries on the question whether, and to what extent, the provincial governments are carrying into effect the administrative measures recommended by the Joshi Committee three years ago as being necessary for the successful enforcement of the Sarda Act in Restraint of Child Marriage.\n\nMR. GEORGE HALL (Lab., Aberdare) asked the Secretary of State for India how many prosecutions have taken place under the Child Marriage Restraint Act, No. 19 of 1929 (the Sarda Act), and with what result.\n\nSIR S. HOARE: I am not in possession of figures showing the numbers of prosecutions and convictions under the Sarda Act, but I will obtain them. The result of the inquiries made of local governments regarding the recommendations of the Joshi Committee have not yet been received, but I will inquire how the matter stands.\n\nMISS RATHBONE: Does the right hon. gentleman not think that there has been great dilatoriness on the part of the provincial governments, inasmuch as it is two years since the inquiry was circulated and that a year ago he undertook to remind the provincial governments of it; and, in view of the fact that the Act was passed with the strong approval of the Government at Delhi, as being necessary to remove \"a great and corroding evil\"—I think those were the words—does he think that the provincial governments are showing enough zeal in seeing to it that the Act is not made a dead letter?\n\nSIR S. HOARE: The hon. lady knows that the Act raises many important questions, and I think she would not expect me to express an opinion as to the attitude of the provincial governments. I am having compiled for her the information for which she has asked, and, as soon as I have it, she will get it.\n\nMaternity and Child Welfare (Grants)\n\nMR. PARKINSON (Lab., Wigan) on November 15 asked the Minister of Health what grant will be made towards maternity and child-welfare services during the current year; and what was the amount in the year 1931.\n\nMR. SHAKESPEARE (Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Health): Under the Local Government Act, 1929, separate grants for maternity and child-welfare services, other than the training of midwives and health visitors, ceased to be payable in respect of any year after the financial year 1929-30.\n\nThe amount of the discontinued grant formerly paid by the Exchequer in respect of these services was included in determining the loss on account of grants under the Act.\n\nHouse of Lords\n\nMR. MANDER (Lib., Wolverhampton E.) on November 17 asked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce legislation dealing with the reform of the House of Lords on the lines of the report recently issued, or on other lines.\n\nTHE PRIME MINISTER: The Government have not considered this question.\n\nNIGHT EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN\n\n\"The Times\" reports that the Permanent Court of International Justice recently delivered its advisory opinion on the following question, submitted to it by the Council of the League of Nations at the request of the Governing Body of the International Labour Office:\n\nDoes the Convention concerning employment of women during the night adopted in 1919 by the International Labour Conference, apply, in the industrial undertakings covered by the said Convention, to women who hold positions of supervision or management and are not ordinarily engaged in manual work?\n\nBy six votes against five the Court answered this question in the affirmative.\n\nThe question had its origin in a difficulty which the British Government had encountered for several years past in the application of Article 3 of the Convention: “Women, without distinction of age, shall not be employed during the night in any public or private industrial undertaking, or in any branch thereof, other than an undertaking in which only members of the same family are employed.\"\n\nBritish Government regarded this provision as applying to all women, without exception, employed in industry, but at the same time they considered that an exception ought to be made in favour of women occupying posts of supervision or management. They therefore proposed that the Convention should be revised in that sense.\n\nThe Court rejected arguments which had been put forward to show that the natural meaning of the Article might be disregarded. The first of these was to the effect that the Washington Convention, being a Labour Convention in the sense of the Labour portions of the Peace Treaties of 1919, ought to be interpreted as applicable solely to manual workers. The next was that the circumstances in which the Convention was adopted in Washington furnished adequate grounds for restricting its application to women engaged in manual work, more especially because the Washington Convention was merely an extension and application of the Berne Convention of 1906, an instrument which was concerned solely with women performing manual work. Lastly, there was the argument that the Convention of Washington did not cover women occupying posts of management, because in 1919 such cases were very few in number, and therefore were not under consideration.\n\nWOMEN'S WORK IN THE CHURCH\n\nIn his first presidential address to the Southwark Diocesan Conference, held recently, Dr. Parsons, Bishop of Southwark, referred to the problem of the shortage of trained women workers in the Church.\n\nHe said that at present a commission which had been appointed by the two archbishops were considering the matter. Personally, he was convinced that the life and work of the Church would never be as healthy and as efficient as it should be until educated and specially trained women were given scope and opportunity for their talents and ministrations in the Church's service as full and free as was given to men of similar education and training.\n\nIt was a matter of very grave concern that at a time when larger opportunities of service and of influence were opening out to women in so many other directions, in the Church, just when a supply of women duly qualified to serve it was forthcoming, the demand for that supply should be diminished.\n\nYOUNG WOMEN AVIATORS' ENTERPRISE\n\nMiss Joan Page, daughter of Sir Arthur Page, and Miss Audrey Sale Barker, recently flew to South Africa, where they carried consignments of Cow and Gate milk food to introduce to South Africans.\n\nPage 20",

        "content_text": "THE VOTE\n\nProprietors: THE MINERVA PUBLISHING CO. LTD. Offices: 144, High Holborn, W.C.1 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1932\n\nNOTICE.-Letters should be addressed as follows:-\n\nTo the Advertising Manager on advertising.\n\nTo the Secretary on all other business, including VOTE orders, printing, and merchandise, etc.\n\nTelegrams: \"DESPARD, Holborn 9301, London.” Telephone: Holborn 9301.\n\nEDITORIAL.\n\nThe Editor is responsible for unsigned articles only. Articles, paragraphs, or cuttings dealing with matters of interest to women generally will be welcomed. Every effort will be made to return unsuitable MSS. if stamped addressed envelope be enclosed, but the Editor cannot be responsible in case of loss.\n\nTHE KING'S SPEECH\n\nThe new Session of Parliament was opened by the King in State last Tuesday.\n\nThe text of the King's Speech expressed the hope that the forthcoming World Economic Conference would ease the present economic situation, and that the Disarmament Conference would attain the greatest possible measure of general disarmament. Reference was made to the third Indian Round Table Conference. Careful supervision over public expenditure, both national and local, was stated to be necessary. The promise was made that the Government would continue to do everything in their power to stimulate the recovery of trade and that further plans would be taken to enable agriculture as a whole to take its proper place in the economy of the nation.\n\nUnemployment, the gravest of our social problems, was specially mentioned. The fact that many young men and women had never in their lives had an opportunity of regular employment was referred to, and notice was given of the Government's intention to bring forward measures dealing comprehensively with Unemployment Insurance and the treatment of those unable to obtain work.\n\nA promise was made of the introduction of Bills relating to Scotland to amend the procedure governing private legislation, to facilitate the administration of civil justice, and for other purposes.\n\nIt was further stated that measures dealing with Rent Restriction, London Passenger Transport, and other matters of importance will be introduced and proceeded with as time and opportunity offer.\n\nA WOMAN'S NATIONALITY\n\nMrs. Grace Tyndall, of Newent, near Gloucester, was summoned last week for failing to register as an alien.\n\nShe married in 1910, and both she and her husband were British subjects. In October, 1931, the husband obtained a certificate of naturalisation in America, and became an American citizen. He returned to this country in July this year, registered as a foreigner, and was given certain instructions as regards his wife. Mrs. Tyndall, however, refused to register, and told the court that if she registered as an alien she really became a woman without a country. She had been to the American Consul, and he told her she was not an American, and the British Consul said she could get no help from him. \"In time of war I can look nowhere for help. My property would be interned, and I should be turned into the streets.\" Mrs. Tyndall said she had written to the Home Office to see whether it was possible for her to return to her nationality, but had received a reply in the negative. She was not an illiterate foreigner. She said, \"I am British, and will not give up my country. I have never signed the oath of allegiance to America, and I never will.\"\n\nThe chairman of the bench said Mrs. Tyndall had been guilty of an offence, and would be fined 20s., or seven days. Her father, an ex-police sergeant, advised her to do the seven days. We only wish that every British woman married to a foreigner would refuse to register as an alien in this country, refuse to pay any fine, and elect to go to prison for any length of time the court might impose. Nationality is a fundamental right, and it is monstrous that it should be taken away from any adult person without that person's consent.\n\nMUITSAI IN HONG KONG\n\nOn July 15th last we reported in THE VOTE that Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister, Secretary of State for the Colonies, in reply to a question by Mr. Rhys Davies (Lab., Westhoughton), declared that the mui-tsai system in Hong Kong had now been abolished; that the girls who were mui-tsai had been registered, and their status changed to that of free paid domestic workers.\n\nLast week we received at this office several Press cuttings from the \"South China Morning Post,\" dated August 4th, August 13th, September 8th, September 22nd, September 29th, and October 6th, reporting prosecutions for not registering mui-tsai, for ill-treating them, and in one case for selling a girl into prostitution. All these cases were brought into court by a man inspector, and the extraordinary thing is that the fines imposed were so inadequate—50 dollars being the biggest sum mentioned. A Hong Kong dollar is worth 1s. 3d., so that a 50 dollar fine can hardly be looked upon as a deterrent for slave owning in the British Colony of Hong Kong. At the present time there is only one inspector (a European police officer), who has two Chinese women assistants, to deal with abuses of this character. It is estimated that there must be quite 20,000 mui-tsai in the colony, though only about 4,000 are registered. It seems to us that a trained British woman inspector ought at once to share in the work of securing the complete abolition of this mui-tsai system, both for the sake of the children and for the credit of this country. We cannot wholeheartedly rejoice in the anti-slavery centenary celebrations when there is this slavery of children in a British Crown Colony.\n\nWe would also draw attention to another point. So-called \"adopted daughters\" have never been registered to this day, and apparently by the law of Hong Kong it is legal to buy a girl for bona fide adoption, as the following extract from a letter sent out by the Colonial Office under date February 18th, 1932, will show:\n\nEvery person who takes any part, or attempts to take any part, in any transaction the object or one of the objects of which is to transfer or confer, wholly or partly, the possession, custody, or control of any minor under the age of eighteen years for any valuable consideration shall be deemed to be guilty of an offence against this section, unless such person proves beyond reasonable doubt that the transaction was bona fide and solely for the purpose of a proposed marriage or adoption, in accordance with Chinese custom.\n\nLeading authorities are agreed that there is no such bona fide adoption of girls under existing conditions in Hong Kong. We urge, therefore, that the registration of adopted daughters shall be enforced forthwith, as these transactions are merely a subterfuge for obtaining mui-tsai as in the past. Obviously, too, the present registration of mui-tsai is glaringly incomplete. We call the attention of the Colonial Office to the fact that the system of mui-tsai in Hong Kong has by no means been abolished, and we recommend that effective steps be taken to ensure the immediate registration of all mui-tsai and \"adopted daughters\" in the colony, a much more thorough system of inspection of the houses where they are lodged, and the imposition of far heavier penalties on those who infringe the law.\n\nGREEN, WHITE AND GOLD FAIR, 1932\n\nAn unusually fine attendance on the first day, and the news of Amy Johnson's triumph on the second, added to the spirit of success which pervaded this year's Fair.\n\nIn contrast to the November gloom outside, Caxton Hall was gay with banners full of significance to many present, and attractively decorated stalls. On Thursday afternoon the proceedings opened with the particularly apt song by Miss Marjorie Bagge, \"Lads and Lasses, Won't You Buy?\"\n\nIn presiding, our President, Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence, read a telegram from Mrs. Hilton Philipson, deeply regretting that the alteration of a matinee at Bristol prevented her from opening the Fair. Our President was, therefore, not only chairman, but opener. Suffragettes, she said, were well trained to rise to emergencies, and in the spirit of the verse,\n\n\"I am the cook and the captain bold\n\nAnd the mate of the Nancy Brig,\n\nAnd the seamen bright and the midshipmite\n\nAnd the crew of the captain's gig.\"\n\nshe would endeavour to combine both functions.\n\nMrs. Pethick-Lawrence explained how good it was to-day to belong to the Women's Freedom League. While everywhere else there was a lack of continuity, in our League, where the Green, White and Gold Fair, Mrs. Despard's birthday party, the Annual Conference, and so forth took place year after year, we had the solid earth beneath our feet.\n\nEvery woman who had taken part in the fight for the vote had played a part in the emancipation of women in all parts of the world. The phenomenal progress made by Turkish women in the last ten years is part of this revolution.\n\nThe present position of the world is unstable. When the new world is evolved the work women are doing will tell; the full harvest of our sowing we shall never know.\n\nMrs. Pethick-Lawrence expressed warm thanks to all who had helped in the work of the Fair, and most of all to Miss Berry, our Honorary Fair Organiser.\n\nMiss Underwood maintained that the members of the Women's Freedom League were not downhearted when they contrasted the position of women at the time the League was founded and the position to-day.\n\nThe closing of the first Session of Parliament brought the next General Election one year nearer. We needed more branches and greater strength in our branches, so that when the opportunity came we could help to secure the return of more women members.\n\nThe Reform of the House of Lords was under consideration. The Women's Freedom League wanted women in that House on the same terms as men.\n\nWe were urging that reference to the nationality of married women should be made in the King's Speech; we were delighted to learn that a British woman married to an American had chosen to go to prison rather than pay a fine for not registering as an alien.\n\nThe Women's Freedom League claim equal political, economic, and social status with men.\n\nMrs. Ward made an urgent appeal for more subscribers to THE VOTE—a paper packed with interesting news concerning women in all parts of the world.\n\nA hearty vote of thanks to Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence was proposed by Dr. Knight, seconded by Mrs. Dore, and carried enthusiastically.\n\nOn Friday the chair was taken by Mrs. Sadd Brown. She felt it an honour, she said, to be presiding at a Fair organised by the Women's Freedom League—a League which pursued a line of continuity and never forsook its ideals. The Women's Freedom League worked with a resolute persistence, its activities were always going on, and although the world might know little about this work, it received the benefit. The League was able to carry on because of its unflagging courage and dogged determination.\n\nThe Hon. Mrs. Franklin said she had been studying Ruth Drapper's delightful sketch on how to open a fair, and would proceed accordingly.\n\nAlthough not a member of the Women's Freedom League, she had a great respect for our First President, Mrs. Despard, and for THE VOTE, which, in her opinion, entirely fulfilled the requirements of a feminist paper. She congratulated the editor on the attention given to the new avenues opening up to women.\n\nThe paper was small, handy, and concise, and gave just the information wanted.\n\nAt the moment there was a certain wave of pessimism concerning the future. One reason women had always wanted to help in world affairs was to procure peace. Public opinion was now behind the Government in asking for peace.\n\nIf anything had been learnt during the last years it was that no nation was sufficient unto itself; it was ridiculous for one nation to fight another. Women wanted the vote for no other reason than to be in a position to fulfil their duties. Mrs. Franklin hoped that women would work in truth for the betterment of the world. Now, like Ruth Drapper's lady, she would declare the Fair open.\n\nMiss Underwood said how proud we were of the achievement of Amy Johnson. She then briefly recapitulated the aims of the Women's Freedom League, and stressed the importance of the appointment of women to administrative posts that they might fit themselves for office at the League of Nations.\n\nMrs. Ward made a spirited appeal for subscribers to THE VOTE. Miss Anna Munro proposed a vote of thanks to all speakers, and Mrs. Whetton, in seconding, said that until women had equal opportunities with men they would not be able to give of their best to the community.\n\nRound the Stalls\n\nBRENTFORD AND CHISWICK STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Watling, Mrs. Yeomans, Mrs. Fairley, Mrs. Haines, Mrs. Tubbs, Mrs. Jinks, and Mrs. Hurrell, is to be complimented on a fine display of delicious confectionery made by Mrs. Watling.\n\nGOLDERS GREEN STALL, in the charge of Miss Aickman, Mrs. and Miss Muriel Pierotti, and Mrs. Stammers, had a good assortment of aluminium ware and brushes.\n\nHAMPSTEAD STALL, in the charge of Miss Lyndon, Miss Trotter, and Miss James, had a varied collection of dainty and useful handkerchiefs.\n\nHIGHBURY STALL, supported by Bradford Branch, in the charge of Mrs. Bateman, Miss Beatrice and Miss Marie Bateman, made a good show with a variety of useful articles, each for the small sum of 1s.\n\nMINERVA CLUB BRANCH STALL, in the charge of Miss M. I. Neal, Mrs. Surrey Dane, and Mrs. Evans had a good show of hosiery and general goods.\n\nMID-LONDON AND BARNSBURY STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Anderton and Mrs. Potter, gave a speciality of hand-made waste-paper baskets and bags made by Miss Horniman, and had a good assortment of stationery.\n\nPORTSMOUTH STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Whetton, Mrs. Brading, and Mrs. Curtis, made a special feature of initialled towels, and had a good collection of household linen.\n\nSOUTH-EASTERN STALL, in the charge of Miss White and Miss Bentley, is to be specially congratulated on a display of Rye pottery, made and presented by a Rye member. It also had a good show of dainty shopping-lists, handsome silk scarves, hand-made baskets, and Japanese goods.\n\nSCOTTISH AND NORTHERN BRANCHES STALL, in the charge of Miss Anna Munro, Mrs. Graves, and Mrs...\n\nPage 20\n\nPage 21",

McFarlane referred to a list of names of young women who had come out of college and said there did not seem much possibility of their getting posts. He thought they might replace some of the married teachers. 'Some of the married teachers have husbands who hold good positions,' he said, 'and I do not think it is fair to girls who have come out of college and have been on the list for some time.'\n\nThe Chairman, Councillor John Mason, suggested the matter might be referred to the staffing sub-committee. There were great complications involved, and they must give careful thought before deciding upon anything.\n\nCouncillor McFarlane said he was agreeable to this course, which was adopted.\n\nWe ourselves would like to think and say if a body of women systematically applied this kind of means test to all men's employment.\n\nIt is reported that the question of the employment of married women on the staff of the B.B.C. has recently been raised again to the consternation, so it is said, of the hundreds of secretaries and stenographers at Broadcasting House.\n\nMarried women have always been employed by the Corporation and its predecessor, the old Broadcasting Company, and many of them have married during their service. It is absurd that this question should be settled on any other ground than that of efficiency.\n\nFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1932\n\nTHE VOTE\n\nBRANCH NOTES\n\nWomen's Freedom League\n\nBARNSBURY AND DISTRICT\n\nOffices: 144, HIGH HOLBORN, W.C.1.

        "content_text": "32\n\nTHERE is, to me, nothing more dreadful or soul-searing than the spectacle of a child ill-used, over-worked and under-fed. I always feel in some way as if I were responsible, as though I had neglected to do something that would prevent such an enormity.\n\n\"FREE THESE GIRL SLAVES\n\nsays Mrs. Cecil Chesterton\n\nThis is how I felt in Hong Kong when I was suddenly brought up against a condition impossible, one would have thought, within the British Empire. To-day thousands of female children and young girls are living as chattels, the property of the owners who have bought their flesh and blood.\n\nIt commenced a hundred years ago. When we first took possession of the island the Government encouraged the Chinese to come and settle there, undertaking that their religious rites, ceremonies and social customs should not be interfered with. So the Chinese came, bringing with them large numbers of young female slaves-Mui Tsai as they are called-which they had purchased from the starving peasantry on the mainland, who preferred to sell their babies rather than see them die of hunger.\n\nLaw is a Farce\n\nThe tragic children were bought and sold, and sold and bought, over and over again. They had no wages and no rights, and very often, helpless and hopeless, were consigned to a life in a brothel.\n\nCases are on record where small children of six and seven did the work and the washing of an entire family, minding the baby at nights; unfortunates sold into prostitution who tried to commit suicide; victims of ghastly cruelty who, having escaped, were found by the police and returned to their owners.\n\nI am always very proud to think it was a woman who, in 1930, forced public opinion to centre on the scandal. Lady Simon organised huge protests from Women's Societies, addressed hundreds of meetings, penned innumerable articles and finally, in the publication of her book, \"Slavery,\" focused political attention both inside and outside the House of Commons.\n\nAs a result the Government moved at last. The Governor of Hong Kong was instructed that girl slaves must no longer be brought into the Colony and that those already there must be registered, inspected and paid wages. Re-sale was absolutely prohibited, and any slave who wished to leave her owner was free to do so.\n\nAnd now that \"slavery\" is no longer officially admitted in Hong Kong, let us see exactly what happens. There is a law compelling registration of a Mui Tsai, but the penalty for breaking it is so slight that it makes little difference. Generally speaking it means a fine of from twelve to twenty-five shillings. As a result many people do not register at all.\n\nRe-sale, though prohibited, still continues, and for the same reason. The penalty for selling a girl, either as a domestic servant or to a brothel keeper, is never more than a few dollars-a dollar being worth 1s. 3d. in English money-a very small part of the purchase price received.\n\nBut the thing which, to my mind, is the most shameful is that even in cases of cruelty the punishment is still a fine of a few dollars. When I was in Hong Kong cases came up where a Mui Tsai had been horribly maltreated.\n\nA small child of eight, with a badly bruised face, gave evidence. Information was dragged from her with the greatest difficulty. Her owner was listening. The girl knew what she might expect if she told the truth. It was a large family, but the Mui Tsai did everything, heavy washing, scrubbing, cooking and cleaning. No, she didn't get any wages, but at the New Year she was given a few cents.\n\nOnly One Inspector\n\nThere was a case where a girl of fourteen had been re-sold, and another where a Mui Tsai asked if she might really leave her owner. She had been told she could not go until she had worked out the price paid for her as a baby. It would take a long, long time. She only got 20 cents a month!\n\nThen, again, Mui Tsai are still imported. Not under that name, but as the niece, cousin, adopted daughter of their owners, who in nine cases out of ten get away with the tale. It is impossible to keep track of all these attempted impositions.\n\nThere is a Chinese population of some 600,000 in Hong Kong, mostly of the poorer and lower-middle class, who invariably keep a Mui Tsai. This means that there must be quite 20,000 female slaves, though only 4,000 are registered. But even these cannot effectively be safeguarded. The Government employs one inspector and two assistants, which means that only the very small proportion of reported owners can be visited.\n\nSurely it is time for British women once more to declare a crusade and demand that this shadow of blood-guiltiness shall be wiped from our national escutcheon.\n\nPearson's Weekly.

I fear that in many cases this is her use as a wageless servant or later as a possible concubine, or as the source of a fair-sized dowry when she has attained a suitable age for marriage.\"\n\nHe ends by quoting Command Paper 3424 to show conclusively the necessity of registering \"adopted daughters\" and girls obtained under similar types of transactions.\n\nAnd now to turn again to Hong Kong-\n\nAs has been frequently pointed out, the registration in that Colony only includes acknowledged Mui Tsai, and the sale and purchase of girls for so-called \"adoption\" continues and is in fact legalised by the Ordinance quoted in this letter, and such transactions are neither registered nor controlled.\n\nIn view of the honest official exposure in the speech of the Acting Secretary for Chinese Affairs in the Straits, I submit that similar comprehensive measures should be taken in Hong Kong.\n\nThe present Cabinet and Government contains a particularly large number of those who have condemned publicly and in the House of Commons the inadequate steps so far taken in Hong Kong to deal with the whole Mui Tsai and kindred systems.\n\nMy submission is that the strength of opinion now available should be used to insist upon the systems in Hong Kong being dealt with at least as comprehensively as those contemplated by the Straits Ordinance.\n\nNo. 92612/32\n\nSir,\n\nI beg to remain,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\nH.

Not being able to take care of their own daughter owing to the high cost of living, they are willing to present her to someone. At first, their relatives were asked to take her, but none could or would do so. Then A-Y-L, a go-between, introduced her to C-Y-L, who agreed to adopt her as a fostered daughter, and he further agreed to reimburse the parents of the girl a sum of $95, being the cost of ginger and vinegar (maintenance expenses). It was arranged and agreed by the three parties, and full payment of the sum of $95 was made on this day to deliver the child to C-Y-L.\n\nAfter the child has been handed over to the C--- Family, C-Y-L will take good care of her, and when she comes of age, she will be married by order of C-Y-L, and at the same time, her parents will be informed of her marriage so that they may have the right of visit thereafter.\n\nIn case of any misfortune befallen the girl, it is Heaven's decree.\n\nLest words of mouth should not be sufficient, this Presentation Note is given to C-Y-L as proof.\n\n### QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. February 22nd, 1933.\n\n#### HONG KONG (MUI TSAI SYSTEM).\n\nMr. LUNN (Lab., Rothwell) asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the number of Mui Tsai in Hong Kong now and what was the number at the end of 1932; if he will inquire into the possibility that young girls are imported as adopted daughters and other designations to evade the law; whether registration and inspection are carried out, and how many inspectors are engaged in the work; and when it is intended that the system shall be abolished.\n\n| Question | Answer |\n| --- | --- |\n| Number of Mui Tsai in Hong Kong | 3,017 (as of Nov 30, 1932) |\n| Number at the end of 1932 | 3,017 |\n| Inquiry into evasion of law | ... |\n| Registration and inspection | Efficient inspection is carried out by three inspectors. |\n| Abolition of system | The Mui Tsai system has been abolished in Hong Kong. |\n\nSir PHILIP CUNLIFFE-LISTER: As I informed the House in July last, the Mui Tsai system has been abolished in Hong Kong. The number of former Mui Tsai who remained on the register on November 30th, 1931, was 3,810, and on November 30, 1932, was 3,017. Their status is now that of free paid domestic workers. Registration ceased in 1930, and since that date, it has been illegal to employ girls as Mui Tsai.\n\nMr. LUNN: Is the right hon. Gentleman quite sure that Mui Tsai are not being imported into Hong Kong probably under other designations than Mui Tsai?\n\nSir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER: I think that the system is really very satisfactory today, and from all accounts, inspection is working very satisfactorily.\n\nMr. LUNN: When does the right hon. Gentleman imagine we shall come to an end of this kind of slavery in Hong Kong; and what part are the British Government going to take in the centenary celebrations this year of the abolition of slavery under the British flag?\n\nSir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER: We have already anticipated it by abolishing the system of Mui Tsai.\n\nTHANK YOU, MR. LUNN.\n\nWe need to be very grateful to Mr. Lunn for again raising the question in the House.\n\n...\n\n### MORE ABOUT THE HOME FOR ABANDONED CHILD-SLAVES.\n\nby\n\nMRS. M. M. DYMOND (of Yunnan-Fu, China).\n\nWe have for long heard that a declaration of the rights of the Chinese children similar to that of the League of Nations was being prepared. \"That slaves were to be emancipated,\" \"that to buy or sell a child was to become a criminal offence.\" \"that as is the acorn, so will be the oak, and no country is greater than its children.\"\n\n...\n\nThe Chinese are becoming alive to the necessity of ridding themselves of this dreadful evil. The war so far has hardly affected the South of China, for North and South are often antagonistic to another. In the South, the brigands have been quite cleared off some of the roads, and the Government is urging reform along many ways.\n\nThe two greatest hindrances to the abolition of slavery are opium smoking and foot binding: these two curses still persist in the interior, while women smoke opium and suffer from the crippling of bound feet, the slave will always be looked upon as a necessity, and be the helpless victim of shocking cruelties at the hands of women little less than fiends when the craving is on them. The abolition of slavery chiefly rests with the womanhood of China.\n\nA prominent Chinese woman, writing, says, \"Women have always had an influence in the affairs of China, but mostly behind the curtains. Chinese men have a natural respect and belief in women, in spite of social customs. In China, the question is more one of changing customs than changing attitudes of mind.\"\n\nThe churches of China and missions should make a firm stand against slavery, instead of being apathetic. With faith in the world's Emancipator and Saviour, victory would soon be accomplished; there is nothing too hard or impossible with God, but there is often defeat with Government and International effort only.\n\n### CORRESPONDENCE.\n\nYunnan.\n\nSouthcroft.\n\nHenleaze.\n\nBristol Feb. 8th.\n\nEnclosed is the copy of a letter I received yesterday. It seems a very beautiful and touching incident, that 24 little girls, some of them living below the poverty line, should become \"thrilled\" enough to make an effort to support a little slave girl themselves, a tribute to the value of your paper, and a great encouragement to work on. God is in it all.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nM. M. DYMOND.\n\n#### (Copy of Letter.)\n\nTelephone: East, 1200.\n\nThe Children's House.\n\nEagling Road.\n\nBow, E.3. 6th February, 1933.\n\nDear Mrs. Dymond,\n\nI do not know whether you may know of us through Mrs. Haslewood, but my little girls down here have taken a very great interest in the Mui Tsai. When we saw the account in the \"Slave Market News,\" with the picture of the little girls in the home, and the statement that 5/- a month served to support such a child, they decided they would like to raise a weekly offering to be able to support one. The first 5/- will be in by next week. They are East End children, and many of them are living far below the poverty line, so it is a big thing for them to do. They are very thrilled indeed about it, and are very keen to know if they can know the name of the little girl and make her gifts.\n\n...\n\nBelieve me,\n\nYours very sincerely,\n\nDORIS LESTER.\n\n### WHO WILL MAKE THE FACTS KNOWN?\n\nWe shall be pleased to send separate copies of \"The Slave Market News\" to any address required at 2d. per copy; or to supply parcels for distribution at the following special rates:\n\n| Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 dozen copies | 1s 9d |\n| 2 dozen copies | 3s 0d |\n| 3 dozen copies | 4s 6d |",

        "content_text": "## C. S. O. M.F. 237.\n\nThe Dominion of Canada cordially associates herself with the Crown Colony of Hong Kong by participating in the British Empire Fair which is opening to-day. It is gratifying to the Canadian Government, and particularly to myself, as Minister of Trade and Commerce, that Canada has been accorded such excellent facilities for thus displaying before the citizens of Hong Kong and South China samples of her natural products and manufactures, with a view to further extending inter-Imperial trade between these two sections of the British Commonwealth of Nations. It is particularly fitting that this Fair should open on May 24th, the anniversary of the \"Mother of the Empire\", the late Queen Victoria, and a day celebrated throughout the British Empire as indicative of its solidarity and its devotion to the Crown.\n\nThe Crown Colony of Hong Kong and the Dominion of Canada have much in common. It was in 1841, during the reign of Queen Victoria, that Hong Kong became a Crown Colony and began to flourish under the Union Jack. It was in the same year that Canada had its first democratic government. Direct steamship services between Canada and Hong Kong provide a means of greatly increasing the volume of trade between, and linking closer together, these at one time distant parts of the Empire. Their products and manufactures are to a large extent complementary, and it is to the advantage of both countries that this trade should be considerably increased. Hong Kong is at the spearhead of a large and practically unexploited trade territory which will, when the existing difficulties have passed, provide Hong Kong with a market for many of Canada's products and which in return may provide for many of Canada's wants.\n\nIt is natural that Hong Kong, due to its location and the unexcelled facilities offered by its harbour, should serve as a centre of distribution for Canadian products which will eventually be consumed in the Southern part of the Chinese Republic. It is our hope that the importers of Hong Kong will give the fullest consideration to the opportunities offered to them by Canadian producers.\n\nIt was with the object of promoting greater trade between Canada and this territory that the appointment of a Trade Commissioner was made in 1929. It is to the advantage of Hong Kong importers to prepare for the future. Canada can provide them with many of their requirements and since it is to their advantage to cultivate a trading partnership with that Dominion.\n\nI congratulate the Chairman and Committee on their efforts to make the Fair a success and feel sure that they will be fully justified by the results obtained.\n\n**N.Z's. BEST WISHES.**\n\nMr. Williamson read the following message from Mr. Masters, the Minister of Industries and Commerce in the New Zealand Government:- Please express best wishes of the New Zealand Government for the success of the Empire Fair and appreciation of the efforts of Government, committees, Hotel company and others to further Empire trade. Also express our thanks for the assistance rendered to New Zealand in this connection.\n\n**FROM AUSTRALIA.**\n\n**Prime Minister's Cable Of Appreciation.**\n\n\"EVERY SUCCESS.\"\n\nMr. J. A. Tonkin delivered the following message from the Minister of the Commonwealth Government of Australia:\n\nOn behalf of the Commonwealth Government, I wish the Empire Fair every success and hope it will mark the opening of many new avenues of inter-Empire trade. Appreciation is expressed to the Government of Hong Kong for the encouragement and assistance in launching the Fair, and to the Fair Committees, the Hotel Company, the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga, and those organisations and associations whose activities have been responsible for this display of Empire products. Your Fair will be successful and beneficial to all British and Dominion participants.—Lyons, Prime Minister.\n\n## THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.\n\n**Trade Commissioner From Home.**\n\n**WHAT OF TARIFFS?**\n\nFormally declaring the Fair open, H.E. the Governor said:- Mr. Paterson, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am very pleased to have the privilege to-day of opening the second Empire Products Fair held in Hong Kong. As you know, the idea was started last year as the outcome of a letter addressed by Mrs. Amery, the wife of a former Secretary of State for the Colonies, to my wife, in which among other things she suggested an all-British food day.\n\nThe proposal to have an Empire Products Fair was taken up with great enthusiasm. My wife assisted in the preliminary stages, but to our regret we were unable to be here for the Fair itself. We were however greatly interested in the accounts which were sent to us. There was no doubt that it was a great triumph, and I take this opportunity of congratulating all those who helped to achieve that success.\n\nIt was indeed so successful that it was quite rightly decided that another Fair should be held this year, and there is no need for me to say that that decision has been amply justified, and that this year's Fair will greatly surpass that of last year.\n\nSuch Fairs have been instituted in many parts of the Empire. The British Industries Fair was started in a modest way in London soon after the War, and has grown to be of the greatest commercial value. Another Fair of the same kind has been held at Birmingham for the last fourteen years and yearly gains increasing popularity. Many of the colonies participate in that held in London, Fiji being one of the latest notable additions; and I hope that at no distant date Hong Kong will be able to participate, showing the people at home that this Colony is developing valuable industries of its own.\n\n**Local Industries.**\n\nIn a recent edition of a very interesting journal called \"The Crown Colonist\", I noticed in a map showing the various sources of Empire products that Hong Kong was marked \"Local industries and trans-shipment for China”. A few years ago the words \"local industries\" would probably not have been written, Hong Kong then being considered very little more than a mere transit port. Industries are now growing up in this Colony, one of the most notable perhaps of recent ventures being the brewing of beer! Only recently I was informed by the head of a well-known Hong Kong firm that they had a very large order from England for rubber-soled shoes manufactured here.\n\nThese Fairs are great factors in the commercial life of the Empire, and help to make us realise what a great Empire is capable of producing. It is wonderful how little many of us know of its great resources. I had an opportunity of visiting the Fair in London in 1928, and I must confess to great surprise at many of the things I saw there.\n\nThe British Empire has held a high position in trade, but owing perhaps to over-confidence has tended to sink in a slough of conservatism, in spite of considerable technical advances in industry. Where we really have to some extent failed is in actual trading.\n\nWe have been inclined to stand on a past reputation of the excellence of our goods, which has always been high, and have been extraordinarily unwilling to investigate changes in demand. Suppliers seem to hold the view that they should decide on what the consumer should take, ignoring the adage that he who pays the piper has the right to call the tune. This tendency, as far as the Far East is concerned, was recognised by the Economic Mission which visited the Far East over two years ago, and also by Mr. Beale, now Commercial Counsellor to our Peking Legation, who drew attention to it in a report which he wrote on trade in Malaya some years ago, when I first met him there. There is no doubt that many of our large suppliers have followed fortuitous methods, and have not appreciated the necessity of studying their markets. I think that I can truthfully say that great improvements have now been made in our methods. The quality of our goods has always been of a high standard and with a better realisation of the customers' needs, I feel that there is every prospect of a considerable increase in trade. If however suppliers wish to achieve a maximum of success I think that they should employ what I might term special Trade Commissioners of their own to carry out continuous investigation of the needs and desires of those whose custom they wish to retain and develop.\n\n**British Commissioner.**\n\nAt the same time I must say that I think that it is time that we had something in the nature of a British Trade Commissioner here to represent the Home Country and those parts of the Empire which are not at present represented, and I am in hopes that such an appointment may materialise in the not far distant future.\n\nMajor Duclos, the Canadian Trade Commissioner, has been with us for some time, and I congratulate him on the success which he has made of his appointment. I also would like to offer him our especial thanks for the very great assistance he has given both at last year's Fair and this Fair. He has indeed been a tower of strength to the organisers.\n\nWe greatly appreciate the friendly message from the Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of the Department of Trade and Commerce in Canada, which Major Duclos has just read. It is a message which indicates that true Empire spirit and desire for co-operation at the development of which we should all aim. I think there is a great deal to be done in fostering trade between Hong Kong and Canada, and I agree with Mr. Stevens that we have many interests in common. I passed through Canada on my way Home last year, but had very little time to study conditions there. I was impressed however in particular by three products which I thought could with advantage be exported on a larger scale to Hong Kong, namely motor-cars, fruit and beer. However with the establishment of a local brewery perhaps I had better not extol the value of Canadian liquor!\n\n**Advertising British Goods.**\n\nTrade between Australia and New Zealand and this Colony is growing, and I congratulate Mr. Williamson, who has acted as honorary agent for those Dominions, on this successful development. I also thank him for his valuable assistance in connexion with this Fair.\n\nWe greatly appreciate the friendly messages from Australia and New Zealand which he and Mr. Tonkin have just conveyed to us. I take this opportunity of welcoming to Hong Kong Mr. Tonkin who has just arrived as the representative of the Commonwealth of Australia.\n\nIf the whole Empire will buy British goods, things will become easy and less effort be necessary.\n\n**Tariff Question.**\n\nOur great Empire must be nearly self-supporting, and certainly should be capable of being made so. In spite of the old tradition of free trade, we have been driven to some extent to tariffs, but there is a school, and a very powerful one, which is not satisfied that that is the proper line to follow. At all events I have no hesitation in saying that the imposition of tariffs must not be allowed to depreciate efficiency and economy in production. Fundamentally it is most important that we should learn to produce goods which can compete successfully with similar goods of other countries, and at an economic price to the consumer. Tariffs would be entirely bad if they were to militate against this.\n\nHong Kong, while undoubtedly growing industrially, is still mainly a transit port, and there is no doubt in my mind that tariffs would on the whole therefore probably do more harm than good. It would be fatal to impose tariffs to help one or two industries, if by surrendering the principle which we have followed for many years we for the sake of one or two industries were to ruin the main trade of the port.\n\nMoreover it must be remembered that this Colony is not, except to a small extent, a primary producer and that in regard to its industries it is largely dependent on imported material. In these circumstances I need hardly stress the danger and difficulty of tariffs.\n\nI have not yet had an opportunity of seeing the exhibits to-day, but from what I have learnt there is no doubt that this Fair affords considerable evidence of what can be obtained from Empire sources, and also what this Colony is capable of producing.\n\n**New Territories.**\n\nI am very glad that there is such a fine exhibit of produce from the New Territories, and I trust that substantial purchases will be made. One cannot but be struck by the great local industry and ability of the agriculturist in producing what he does. The Territories have long been noted for producing some of the finest rice in the world, and to-day they are able to produce many varieties of fruit and vegetables, but more requires to be done in the direction of proper marketing, and I should like to see the principles of co-operation developed in this respect. It has been proved that pineapples can be successfully grown, and I should like to see an up-to-date canning factory for this form of fruit developed in the Colony. To compete however with the canned products of other countries such as Hawaii and Malaya, improved methods must be introduced and new strains of pineapple imported.\n\nIn the matter of advertisement, too, we British have been behind other nations. Lulled perhaps by an excessive feeling of confidence and faith in our own products and achievements, we have tended to consider it unnecessary to advertise and push those products. In these days however it must be conceded that if we are to capture the markets, it is necessary to advertise our goods.\n\nIn opening this Fair to-day, I appeal for a greater support for British products, and in that term of course I include the products of this—a British Colony. The number unemployed at home and in other parts of the Empire is very large, due partly to economic depression and partly to the fact that new inventions often diminish the need for man-power. It is necessary therefore, in order to cope with this problem, to develop to the full the resources of the Empire. Team work is called for and we should realise that in supporting British industries we make a valuable contribution to the solution of a difficult Imperial problem. It is essential however that such industries should aim at efficiency and economy and not allow themselves to be lulled into a wrong sense of security under the impression that if the whole Empire buys British, they will be safe.\n\nThe industrial tendency is undoubtedly growing in this Colony, and in spite of the slump and the fact that some factories have had to close.\n\nIt would take too long to mention by name the many residents who have helped towards the organisation of the Fair, but I desire especially to thank the Directors of the Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels for again allocating to the Fair such a large amount of space in the Peninsula Hotel. Mr. Taggart has helped in innumerable ways towards the successful organisation of the Fair, and the Hotel staff has co-operated in every possible way.\n\n**Prime Movers.**\n\nThe Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson has ably presided over meetings, but on the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga and his sons, Mr. H. Braga and Mr. A. M. Braga, has fallen the brunt of the work of organisation of exhibits, to which they have given a great deal of their time for months past. In this they have been supported by Mr. Key as Honorary Secretary. The Military authorities have greatly assisted the Committee to keep down expenses by lending a considerable quantity of military equipment which has been used for the erection of stalls. In this connexion I would especially mention the help of Mrs. Borrett, Mrs. Kinnaird Watson, Mrs. Hoare and the numerous ladies who are working under their leadership. The organisers of the several sections—the list is again too long to permit of individual mention—deserve our thanks.\n\nThe necessity of building two large pavilions on the adjoining land has involved special electrical difficulties, in handling which the China Light and Power Co., Messrs. Callender's Cable and Construction Co. Ltd., and Messrs. Wm. C. Jack & Co., have most helpfully collaborated in a way that has placed the Committee under a great obligation. To-night you will see the attractive lighting effects which have been installed.\n\nThe Telephone Company has gone to considerable expense and trouble to install the Public Address System which greatly helps speakers in this large building and will doubtless be found useful to exhibitors for broadcasting announcements within the Exhibition area.\n\nSeveral firms and Public Companies—both British and Chinese—have given transport facilities and many more have distributed advertisements all over the Colony. All the English newspapers and several Chinese newspapers, have rendered essential assistance by placing their columns freely at the disposal of the Committee. I may perhaps conclude this incomplete resume by thanking the many exhibitors on whose combined support the Fair depends.\n\n**Canton Visitors Welcomed.**\n\nI extend a very hearty welcome to H.E. Mr. Lin Yun-koy and our other Canton friends, who have done us the honour of coming here to-day to attend this Fair. Their presence here affords further proof of the excellent relations which exist between Canton and this Colony. This Fair is primarily held on behalf of British products, but many of these, I am happy to say, are purchased by Canton. In some things there is a healthy trade rivalry between Canton and Hong Kong, but speaking generally our interests are closely interwoven, and the prosperity of the one is largely dependent on the prosperity of the other. It is a matter for congratulation therefore that the friendship between the two places is so happily maintained.\n\nI have much pleasure in declaring the Fair open and in wishing it great success.\n\n## C. S. O. M.F. 237.\n\n### SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST. THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1933.\n\n**OFFICIAL OPENING.**\n\n**'GOVERNOR'S PLEA FOR GREATER EMPIRE CO-OPERATION.**\n\n**WELCOME TO OFFICIAL GUESTS.**\n\nWith full ceremonial, the Empire Fair was officially opened by the Governor, Sir William Peel at noon.\n\nThe Governor and Lady Peel were welcomed at the main entrance of the Hotel by the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson, Chairman of the Committee, who escorted them through a guard of honour comprising Boy Scouts and Girl Guides to the first floor.\n\nHis Excellency entered with Mr. Paterson, while Lady Peel was accompanied by the Vice-chairman of the Fair Committee (Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga). Then came Mr. S. T. Williamson (honorary agent for the Australian and New Zealand Governments), Major Duclos (Canadian Trade Commissioner), the Hon. Dr. Kotewall, Mr. M. F. Key (Secretary of the Fair Committee) and Capt. Walter, A. D. C. to the Governor.\n\nThe Chairman was supported on the dais, on the right, by H.E. the Governor, the Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government (Mr. Liu Yun-koy), H.B.M. Acting Consul-General (Mr. E. G. Jamieson, C.B.E.), Mr. J. A. Tonkin (representing the Department of Commerce of the Australian Commonwealth Government), Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga (Vice-Chairman and principal organiser of the Fair Committee). On the left were Lady Peel, the Mayor of Canton (Mr. Liu Chi-wen) and Mrs. Liu Chi-wen, Major V. E. Duclos (Canadian Trade Commissioner in Hong Kong), Mr. S. T. Williamson (Hon. Agent for New Zealand) Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall, C.M.G. (Vice-Chairman).\n\nOthers present included the General Officer Commanding, Major-General O. C. Borrett, C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., C.B.E., and Mrs. Borrett, H. H. the Chief Justice and Mrs. J. R. Wood, representatives of the Consular Body, officials from Canton, the Commodore and Mrs. Marrack, members of the Executive Council, Government officials, members of the General Committee of the Fair, and exhibitors.\n\nA tableau, representing Britannia was staged behind the dais.\n\nWhen we found, however, that we were going to put up a show four or five times as large as before, covering an area of over an acre, we felt that we need not be quite so modest. Seeing that the Empire goods shown to-day are all intended for the great market of South China, we invited the Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, Mr. Lin Yun-Koy; the Mayor of Canton, Mr. Liu Chi-Wen and Mrs. Liu Chi-Wen; the Inspector-General for Foreign Affairs for Kwantung, Kwangsi, etc., Mr. Kan Chieh-Hou and Mrs. Kan Chieh-Hou; the Commissioner of Public Safety, General Ho Lok; the Counsellor to the 1st Group Army Headquarters, Colonel C. W. Leung, the Municipal Counsellor and Secretary to the Mayor, Dr. Wu Paak-Shing and Mrs. Wu Paak-Shing; the Secretary to the Chairman of the Kwantung Government, Mr. Chow Hok-Tong and the Secretary to the Commissioner of Public Safety, Mr. W. S. Lun, to accept our hospitality and be present here to-day.\n\nTherefore it is my privilege this morning, in the first place, to welcome His Excellency the Governor, who has taken the greatest interest in this project and who kindly promised some months ago to perform the Opening Ceremony. Secondly, as this is, I think, the first large gathering which Lady Peel has attended since her recent illness, I am sure you would wish me to express on your behalf our congratulations on her recovery and our pleasure that she is here to grace the occasion.\n\n**Canton Guests.**\n\nNext I wish to thank, in the name of the General Committee of the Empire Fair, the Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, the Mayor of Canton and the other distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen from Canton who have honoured us to-day by accepting our invitation to the Fair. We trust that what they see here will be of great interest to them and that their visit will further strengthen the friendly relations between South China and Hong Kong.\n\n**Mr. Paterson's Welcome.**\n\nAddressing the gathering, the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson said:- Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen: The first Empire Fair in Hong Kong, held a year ago, though it called for a great deal of work from organisers, was smaller than the Fair we present to you to-day. We made the Opening Ceremony a local affair. I believe His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton was the only visitor from the outside world.\n\nThe Kwangtung Provincial Government, the Mayor of Canton and the other distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen from Canton who have honoured us to-day by accepting our invitation to the Fair. We trust that what they see here will be of great interest to them and that their visit will further strengthen the friendly relations between South China and Hong Kong. As the Fair has so greatly outgrown the space which the Hotel Company has so generously placed at our disposal, I have to express my regret that it is impossible to provide seats for all who are present. The best amends I can make is to be brief. Let me therefore extend a cordial welcome to His Majesty's Acting Consul-General at Canton, Mr. Jamieson and to our local guests. In particular I wish to take this opportunity of expressing, in all sincerity, grateful thanks to the hundreds of workers and exhibitors for their support. I want also to thank Mr. Taggart and the Directors of the Hongkong & Shanghai Hotels Ltd., for their invaluable assistance, the general public for their attendance and to express the hope that \"dividend warrants will soon be ready\" in the shape of a large increase of British trade as the result of this Fair.\n\nI will now call upon Major V. E. Duclos, Canadian Trade Commissioner in Hong Kong, to read a message from the Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of the Department of Trade and Commerce of the Dominion of Canada.\n\n**CANADA'S MESSAGE.**\n\n**Minister's Greeting Read By Major Duclos.**\n\nMajor Duclos then read the following message from The Hon.

        "content_text": "## PIRACY\n\n10. There were three piracies on ships during the year as compared with one during 1932. None of these occurred on a British ship, the ships affected being one Danish, one Norwegian, and one French.\n\nThe Danish passenger steamer \"**Gustav Diederichsen**\", 1,353 tons, was pirated about nine miles East of the Nine-Pins when on a voyage from Hong Kong to Bangkok via Swatow. The **Gustav Diederichsen** belongs to Messrs. Jebsen and Company, and was chartered by the Chin Seng Hong of Bonham Strand West. She had wireless, but no grilles, guards, or scheme of defence. The ship sailed from Hong Kong at 4:30 p.m. on the 27th of February, having on board forty-nine passengers, of whom eight were pirates. The ship was not searched by Police, as it was stated in her clearance that there were no passengers. About 7 p.m. on the 27th February, the pirates took charge and sailed her into Mirs Bay to a point close to Ping Chau Island. At 6:30 a.m. on the 28th February, the pirates left in a ship's boat and went on board a small one-masted junk, taking with them three Chinese male passengers together with property of the officers, crew, and passengers to the total value of $5,741.50. The Chief Officer (Mr. R. Nielsen) was wounded in the abdomen when the pirates first showed themselves. Two of the pirates were later arrested and executed in Canton, and two persons were banished from Hong Kong.\n\nThe Norwegian passenger steamer \"**Prominent**\", 1,377 tons, belongs to Messrs. Karsten Larssen and Company, and was chartered by the Nam Tai Loong of Wing Lok Street. The ship has wireless but no guards, grilles, or scheme of defence except for two rifles and four pistols kept in the Captain's cabin. About 8 p.m. on the 23rd May, the ship sailed from Hong Kong for Saigon with eighty-nine deck passengers and one 2nd-class passenger, of whom about fifteen were pirates. The ship was searched before leaving Hong Kong. At about 1:30 a.m. on the 25th May, when about twenty-five miles north-east of the Paracel Islands, the pirates appeared from among the passengers and took charge of the ship. The officers resisted, and the pirates fired three shots, one of which wounded the Captain in the leg, while the Second Officer received a chopper wound. The pirates seized all the ship's arms and painted out the Chinese characters on the side of the ship and altered the colouring of the funnel. At 10:30 p.m. on the 26th May, the ship was steaming into Mirs Bay with no lights showing when she was sighted by No. 4 Police Launch, who signalled her to stop. Shots were fired from the Police Launch, which was warned that if it did not cease firing, the ship's officers would be murdered. About midnight, the pirates left the ship in a ship's boat, taking with them property of the officers and passengers valued at $4,054.00. However, in their haste to make off, no passengers were kidnapped. No arrests have yet been made.\n\nThe French passenger steamer \"**Commandant Henri Riviere**\", 1,525 tons, is owned by the Societé Anonyme Pannier of Haiphong, the local agents being the Sing Kee Coal and Shipping Company. The ship has wireless and four unarmed Annamite Guards, eight rifles, and three pistols with ammunition being kept locked in a cupboard on the bridge. The ship sailed from Hong Kong for Hoi How at 11 a.m. on the 24th November with fourteen second-class and one hundred and ninety deck passengers, between twenty and thirty of the latter being pirates. The ship was searched by Police before sailing. About 4 p.m. when the ship had reached a point thirty miles south-west of Gap Rock, the pirates took control of the ship and seized the ship's armoury and a pistol and shotgun belonging to the Second Officer. At 11 a.m. on the 25th November, the ship was stopped off Chilang Light, and the pirates commandeered a passing fishing boat in which they left the ship with four passengers and loot valued at $13,298.00, belonging to the officers, crew, and passengers, and landed in Hie Che Chen Bay just off Chilang Point. None of the pirates have been arrested.\n\nNative Craft. Two piracies on native craft were reported during the year as against four in 1932. On the 17th February, Sampan No. `2245.K` was pirated between Lung Shun Wan and Kau Sai by four men armed with revolvers and daggers, who sailed away in their own boat with loot valued at $231.00. No person was injured. On the 8th July, Trading Junk No. `T3825H` was pirated by eight men armed with two revolvers when in Chinese Waters off Deep Bay. The crew of the junk were landed near Tai O on Lantau, and the pirates sailed away in their junk with their cargo and personal belongings valued at $351.50.\n\nCompared with 1932, there was an increase of two cases in the number of piracies on ships, and a decrease of two cases of piracy on native craft.\n\n## SPECIAL BRANCH\n\n11. Following extensive raids in the Colony during the latter part of 1932, the local Communist Party was reduced at the beginning of the year under review to a state of inactivity. However, in the early part of the year, an effort was made to re-organise the Party, but this attempt was short-lived owing to the arrests of certain members of the \"Working Committee\".\n\nDuring the remainder of the year, there were no indications of any renewal of communist activity on a large scale in the Colony, although arrests of communists were made from time to time.\n\nOn one occasion, inflammatory documents were distributed in an industrial centre, but there were no communist demonstrations, and no strikes or serious labour troubles due to communist agitation occurred.\n\nPage 170  \nPage 171",

J. Hayden comprised the Court of Criminal Appeal.\n\nMr. J. A. Fraser, Assistant Attorney General, assisted by Mr. W. J. Lockhart Smith, appeared for the Crown, and Mr. T. P. K. Kemble, of Messrs. Wilkinson & Grist, instructed Mr. R. C. H. Lim, Counsel for the accused.\n\nDealing with the point raised by the appellant that in the absence of Mary Pine, the main witness for the Crown, the evidence of Mrs. Fairburn should not have been put to the jury, Mr. Fraser said the point was not raised, as it should have been, at the trial, and it was not competent now for the Court of Criminal Appeal to deal with it.\n\n\"She said she saw him throw two children into the nullah and jump in himself. Where are we going to stop if we are going to exclude such evidence?\" asked the Assistant Attorney General.\n\nA conviction could not be quashed on this ground if the jury were warned against being prejudiced by the accidental mention of certain facts, and in this case, he himself and Mr. Lim and the trial Judge had warned the jury.\n\nIn the afternoon, dealing with the question of bruises mentioned by Mr. Lim, Mr. Fraser submitted that a person who was going to murder a child was likely to grasp her anywhere, fiercely and forcibly. Although there was nothing in the evidence to connect the appellant with the marks, there was strong circumstantial evidence that he was responsible. Mr. Fraser submitted that from the directions given to the Jury by the trial judge, there could have been no misunderstanding that there was no direct evidence to connect the appellant with the bruises. How then could the jury have come to a wrong conclusion?\n\nMr. Fraser concluded his address in the afternoon, and the case will be resumed this afternoon when Mr. Lim will reply.\n\nJudgment Reserved\n\nAfter a hearing lasting over four days, the Criminal Court of Appeal reserved judgment in the case in which Ng Loi Yuen is appealing against the sentence of death passed upon him for the murder of Michael Pine.\n\nIn reply to a question from Mr. Justice Hayden, Mr. Fraser said there was sufficient evidence in the case apart from Mrs. Fairburn's testimony, and it could not matter in what order the witnesses were placed.\n\n\"If you exclude the evidence of these two children being thrown in, the Crown case is still the same because you cannot exclude her evidence that she saw the accused on the bridge,\" he added.\n\nOn the point of mentioning Mary Pine's evidence in his opening, Mr. Fraser said that some of what he had mentioned had been later contradicted by Crown witnesses, and as to the remainder, the Court must consider whether the minds of the jury must have been influenced by it, or whether there were sufficient other grounds on which decision.\n\nThe Court consisted of Mr. Justice P. Jacks and Mr. Justice J. J. Hayden. Mr. R. C. H. Lim, instructed by Mr. T. P. K. Kemble, appeared for the appellant, and Mr. J. A. Fraser, instructed by Mr. W. J. Lockhart Smith, was for the Crown.\n\nYesterday's proceedings were confined to the reply by Mr. Lim to the points raised by Mr. Fraser. In the course of his speech, he said that regarding the admissibility of Mrs. Fairburn's evidence, the Crown had raised the point as to why the defence had not raised any objection at the time of the trial. Mr. Lim said that the fact that Mary Pine was not going to give evidence took the Court, Counsel, and the Jury by surprise. He was not prepared for such news, and under that circumstance, he submitted that although objection was not taken at the close of the Crown case, that the objection should be allowed before the Court of Appeal.\n\nMr. Lim went over at great length the law points quoted by Counsel for the Crown. At the conclusion of his address, Mr. Justice Jacks announced that the Court would make its decision known next week.\n\n18",

She was under medical treatment for ten days.\n\nCross-examined, witness said the doctor took a serious view of the injuries to Mary's spine and throat.\n\nMaster Gunner Pine, father of Michael, described how he was disturbed by shouts and ran out of the house to meet Mary being carried home after her shocking experience.\n\nOther Evidence\n\nEric Davies, aged eight, gave evidence after earnestly affirming that he understood what was required of him and would tell the truth.\n\nEric told the court that he was with the other children at the bridge where some of them were throwing stones into the water. No-one else was there and after a time he walked away to get a drink. He then heard a scream and ran back to see Fay Brompton in the water and the little boy Flood in the nullah bed.\n\nMr. Lim said that, without making any inference whatever against these last two witnesses, the jury would be interested to know that they were giving evidence for the first time.\n\nMrs. Fairburn repeated the evidence she had given previously that whilst on a lower bridge she saw a Chinese, whom she later identified as accused, throw two children into the nullah and then climb the rail and drop in himself.\n\nSeventeen witnesses were called in the afternoon, some of whom gave evidence in connection with the rescue of the children while others spoke as to the arrest of the accused.\n\nThose who gave evidence were Cheung Kam, a chair coolie, Hau Luk, a fitter, Lo Chung, a car cleaner...\n\n(Continued on Previous Col.)\n\nPage 21\n\n6",

The jury retired at 12.20 and at 1 o'clock the Chief Justice, His Honour Mr. A. D. A. MacGregor, inquired from the jurors in open Court whether there was any likelihood of their coming to a verdict in the course of the next few minutes. The foreman replying in the negative, the Chief Justice directed that the Registrar should order some tiffin for the jurors, and adjourned the Court until 2.15 p.m.\n\nThe Jurors, however, did not come into the Court again until 3.05 p.m., when the foreman announced that the jury found it impossible to agree upon a verdict.\n\nHis Lordship: Do you think if you are given further time for consideration the result will be the same?\n\nThe Foreman: Yes, my Lord.\n\nHis Lordship: You have been away for two-and-a-half hours and you see no way out?\n\nThe Foreman: I am afraid so.\n\nHis Lordship: I am sure that each of you appreciates how unfortunate such a position is, but as such a position has arisen and persists, I don't think there is anything more we can do.\n\nJury Exempted For Two Years\n\nHis Lordship then consulted the Assistant Attorney General with regard to the best course to be taken for the re-trial. He said that he was quite prepared to have the case taken next week, if it was necessary, since the occurrence was two months ago and human memory was not always infallible, the trial could take place the sooner the better.\n\nMr. Fraser agreed with His Lordship.\n\nHis Lordship (To the Jurors): I thank you for your services. I shall have to discharge you. It can't be helped. In view of the lengthy trial, I have pleasure in exempting you from further jury service for a period of two years.\n\nThe Summing Up\n\nIn the course of his Summing up, the Chief Justice said:-\n\nIn Hong Kong, we are all members of a very small society, and a case such as this, with a considerable amount of dramatic interest, arouses an emotional amount of tension and a degree of publicity which is, from one point of view, a little unfortunate but quite inevitable.\n\nI have no doubt that there must have been many stories and rumours, and it is likely that some of them have come to your ears. I want to ask you most earnestly to do your utmost to forget all that you have heard except what you have heard within the four corners of this court in the last two days. I want you to recall to your minds the terms of the oath which you have taken to return a verdict in accordance with the evidence--nothing else matters. Stories and rumours have nothing to do with your responsible duties.\n\nNo Racial Conflict\n\nSecondly, please put out of your minds entirely any feeling that may have been aroused or instilled in your minds that there is a racial conflict in this case, or still more, by the fact that the person whom the accused is alleged to have killed, was a little boy. Emotionalism, though it does credit to the heart of each one of us, has no place in a court of justice. The accused is entitled to a fair trial and a just verdict at your hands, and there can be no question of retaining anything of that sort any more than in an ordinary case before the court.\n\nThirdly, remember what the learned Counsel for the accused very properly stressed yesterday. It is a cardinal principle of British justice that an accused person is innocent until he is found guilty.\n\nIt is for the Crown to satisfy you of his guilt, and it is their bounden duty to put before you a case which, taken as a whole, will lead each one of you, as reasonable men, to say: \"I have no doubt of his guilt.\"\n\nThe Point At Issue\n\nIn this case, we have a very curious set of circumstances, in that there is alleged by the Crown an action involving five children, and it is possible that some of you may be inclined to think: what the accused did to the other children. The accused does not stand before you on a charge of inflicting any injury on any child but Michael Pine. The evidence of the other children may be relevant and very cogent, but what you have got to get in the forefront of your minds is the treatment he meted out to Michael Pine.\n\nHis Lordship then gave a resume of the evidence before the Court. Referring to the depositions of Mrs. Fairburn, he stated that from her evidence, it was known that two children were thrown into the nullah. The evidence showed that two children were picked up. \"But,\" he added, \"it does not necessarily follow that these were the same two children, because as we follow the nullah downstream near the third bridge, we find there were many other people in the nullah who had been caught in the torrent and carried down by it.\"\n\nDealing with the rescue of the other children and of the accused, His Lordship said there was evidence which identified the man who was swept down the nullah and the man who was taken out from just inside the tunnel, who was at present charged before the Court, as one and the same person.\n\nIt was a significant fact that when the accused was being brought out of the nullah, he struggled hard. At the hospital, he was found to have a slight crack or fracture of a thigh bone, and the leg was put into a plaster of Paris splint. On that day, two prisoners...\n\nAugust 30, 1934\n\nDecide\n\n22\n\n5\n\nAc-",

        "content_text": "August 30, 1934\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nJURY UNABLE TO DECIDE\n\nEscaped from the detention ward of the Government Civil Hospital where prisoner was also confined, prisoner was found to have soaked off his splint with the escaping.\n\nidea of\n\non\n\nThe jury would not draw unfair inferences from that on the ground that it did not appear to be the action of an innocent man for it was also reasonable to think that if accused woke up to find himself detained under a serious charge and then hears that two other prisoners are planning an escape, he would try to get away himself and thus rid himself of the whole business.\n\nMary Pine\n\nWith conspicuous fairness, the Assistant Attorney General had said that with reference to the actual charge against accused, he did not place much reliance on the evidence of little Mary Pine. It was important, however, to follow her testimony when she described the children being thrown over and said it was done by a Chinese who was the accused.\n\nbeen seriously advanced, and in view of the observation that was kept on the nullah banks from the moment of alarm, he would certainly have been seen. The theory that accused may have been attempting to rescue the children had also not been propounded.\n\nThe Letters\n\nAccused was a man of strange ideas as the letters in the case showed, a man who, if these letters were to be believed, honestly thought it a glorious thing to kill a man and was determined to commit suicide. He was rankled at having been cheated in Swatow, being out of work and without money. The Crown had asked the jury to put these factors together and say \"What glorious consolation was his than to commit suicide in that nullah and take with him these children. That he thinks puts the Crown's proposition in a nutshell.\n\nCounsel for the defence had said that they could not attach any great importance to these letters. Anyone may have put them in the bag. They may never have been in that parcel until five minutes before he was handed over to the Police. No one had been called to say accused has preached, practiced or discussed such dreadful views. Learned Counsel had mentioned that with great force. Further, Counsel had asked whether it was conceivable that any man, no matter what he purported to be his beliefs or how deep-rooted his intentions to commit suicide, could go to his death with children. \"I can imagine” Mr. Lim had said \"a man who really believed what was set forth in these letters\n\nHer evidence was corroborated to a remarkable extent when at an identification parade she pointed out the accused immediately and then acting on a child's instinct, ran to her mother, hid her face in her mother's dress and cried.\n\nThe story was a strange one. It would not have appeared possible for one person, no matter how diabolical his intentions, to throw five children one after the other into the nullah. It was a point of view worthy of consideration that the ordinary child seeing one or more of its companions seized in this way, would probably run away.\n\nRoland And Oliver\n\nNone of the other children had been called to give evidence the Crown probably being influenced by the good reason that they were too young for them to give evidence sufficiently cogent and conclusive for the jury to act upon.\n\nMrs. Fairburn had said that the children were not playing in the nullah but were thrown in from the road. The defence had submitted the improbability of the accused throwing the children in one after the other as alleged and put forward the suggestion that they were actually down at the water's edge when they were swept away. Against this was the improbability of the children being all swept away at the same time and the further coincidence that just at that moment accused jumped in from the bridge.\n\nThe hypothesis that there may have been another man with him had not been seriously advanced... There was the improbability of the children being all swept away at the same time and the further coincidence that just at that moment accused jumped in from the bridge.\n\nTheory Of Intoxication\n\nBut there is another aspect of this case. I do not quite know how to put it. A good deal has been said about it and is a matter of considerable importance in the event of certain happenings. The defence is that it was an accident. If you accept that and say Michael Pine was probably playing about and was carried off his feet by the current, that is the end. Your proper verdict then is one of \"Not Guilty.\"\n\nIf you come to the conclusion when marshalling all the facts, and weighing all the evidence, that you cannot resist the conclusion that accused by an unlawful act caused the death of Michael Pine, then and then only, we come to this other aspect of the case. That is the theory or hypothesis of intoxication.\n\nLet me remind you what this is based on. In a shop in Pedder Street the employees had a morning meal which was shared by the accused. We know that at that meal no wine was consumed. We are entitled then, I think, to assume that accused went out sometime that morning, after the meal without having up to that moment taken any intoxicants. We know nothing of his movements until late that afternoon.\n\nAsked For Wine\n\nWe do know, however, that his capital could not exceed more than $2 at the moment. We next come across him in the nullah and the first we hear of intoxication is from the Ambulance boy who took accused over and travelled with him to the Government Civil Hospital. The Ambulance boy states that accused said to him \"Yum Chow\" which the ambulance boy understood to mean \"I want more wine.\" Dr. Valentine had said that accused was suffering from immersion, injuries, and drink. At the time of the incidents at the nullah he could only have been moderately under the influence judging from the urinal results. He would not have been, say, drunk enough to walk in front of a tram car. The contents of the urine may have been emptied in the nullah, and their examination might have shown a higher degree of intoxication. However, accused had not offered evidence to this and the onus of establishing a defence of intoxication was on him.\n\nIn law drunkenness was not a defence but in certain types of cases as this one, such a defence could reduce the offence.\n\nAn essential ingredient of a crime was intent - as it was here - and if accused was proved to the satisfaction of the jury to have been so much under the influence of alcohol as to have been incapable of forming that intent, the offence was reduced from the major offence to the minor; in this case from homicide to manslaughter.\n\nThe jury had three alternatives before them. They could return a verdict of \"Not Guilty\" because death was accidental or was not caused by accused; They could return a verdict of \"Guilty\" if they were satisfied that accused threw Michael Pine into the nullah and that somewhere in that nullah he had sustained the fractured skull which killed him, or 'Guilty of Manslaughter\" if they accepted the submission of intoxication, which meant that they were satisfied that the accused was so drunk that he was not capable of forming the intention to kill the boy.\n\nPage 271\n\n23\n\nE",

Hamilton at Central Magistracy on Wednesday in the case in which a Chinese named Ng Loi Yuen, \"alias\" Ng Yick Lam, \"alias\" Ng Yick San, aged 28, unemployed is being charged with the murder of Michael Pine and with the attempted murder of Mary Pine, Tony Flood, Fay Bromley and Norman Stone by throwing them all into the Albany Nullah, near the Lower Peak Tramway Station the afternoon of June 22.\n\nMr. J. A. Fraser, Assistant Attorney-General, appeared for the Crown, and the accused was represented by Mr. R.C.H. Lim, instructed by Mr. J. M. Hall of Messrs. Lyson and Hall.\n\nMrs. Lillian Maud Vincent told the Court that on the afternoon in question she was walking up the steps near the sentry box in Murray Path in the company of Mrs. O. M. Thomson when she saw a crowd near No. 3 bridge. She went to the scene and looked down into the nullah towards the tunnel where she saw a sailor's straw hat. She also saw a little boy in the nullah, whom she did not recognise. She then looked upwards and saw another little boy floating on his back. She recognised him as Michael Pine. He had a wound on the right side of the forehead, and appeared to be unconscious. He went on past the bridge and witness's attention was then drawn to a little girl who was following some way behind. She recognised her as Mary Pine. Close behind the girl came a Chinese who was a good way above the bridge. Mary was going down the nullah, screaming and in a sitting position. She and the Chinese both passed under the bridge and then witness fell sick and did not see any more.\n\n\"In Sitting Position\" Later she saw on the other side of the sentry box, that Mary had been rescued. After that she and Mrs. Thomson walked down Murray Path right to the end where the tunnel was. There she saw a Chinese being brought from the tunnel. She recognised him as the man who came down the nullah behind Mary Pine.\n\nContinuing, Mrs. Vincent said that she later saw a boy whom she did not recognise being brought up from the point just below the bridge. She now knew him to be Norman Stone. The Chinese was wearing white upper garment and black lower garment.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Lim, witness said that the Chinese was in a sitting position, facing down the nullah when she first saw him. She did not notice any wound on his head. Before this incident, she had known Michael Pine and his parents for about three or four months.\n\nMrs. O. M. Thompson who was with the previous witness at the time of the incident, then gave corroborative evidence. She added that when she saw the Chinese she was under the impression that he was trying to save the girl as they were so close together.\n\nSergeant L. F. Gaywood, R.A.O.C., said that on the afternoon in question he was standing outside his bungalow in Murray Barracks when he saw Corporal Giles running past. He did not take much notice then but immediately afterwards his attention was attracted someone looking into the nullah. He went there and saw some people in the water near the mouth of the nullah. Mr. Bowles was then walking up the nullah with a little girl. Witness helped to pull them up. He then got a torch and went inside the tunnel as he heard that a boy was being washed down.\n\nFell Into Water\n\nwas\n\nhe was unconscious, very limp and had a cut on the head.\n\nMichael Rescued\n\nSimilar evidence was also given by Bandsman Glover who added that accused was suffering from the effects of swallowing water and shock. All his muscles were trembling.\n\nThe way in which Michael Pine was rescued was then related by Pte. William O'Kelly who said that as soon as he heard that a boy had been washed down the nullah he ran down the Murray Path to Queen's Road where he met Pte. Sellers. Together they went to the V.R.C. where he saw a boy floating about twenty yards from where he was and about fifty yards from the mouth of the tunnel. He jumped into the water and caught hold of the boy who gave a groan. The boy had a deep gash at the back of the head and a swollen forehead. He later accompanied him to the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nAfter walking a short distance he heard voices and turned in his torch. He found three soldiers and a Chinese there. The soldiers were holding the Chinese who was lying on his back. Witness took hold of his left wrist with the intention of raising it, but the Chinese attempted to bite his hand. He then suggested rolling him over on his stomach, taking a leg and hand each so that he could not bite. The man struggled and at one time managed to get his right hand free.\n\nAs a result, he fell into the water and a struggle ensued but they picked him up again. Eventually the Chinese was taken out of the nullah and was given artificial respiration.\n\nPte. T. McCarthy of the South Wales Borderers testified that he went down into the tunnel with Pte. Simmons, and assisted in taking the Chinese out of the nullah.\n\nPte. A. E. Burgess, who was the first to give artificial respiration to the accused, said that when the man was taken out of the nullah.\n\nHis Worship (to Mr. Fraser): This man and Pte. Sellers acted with commendable promptitude.\n\nMr. Fraser: Yes, and great presence of mind too.\n\nLance Sergeant W. G. Giles told the court that he rescued one of the girls just outside the mouth of the tunnel.\n\nHui Wing Han, a \"N.A.A.F.I.\" boy said that just as he caught hold of one of the girls he was washed away. The girl was later rescued by Mr. Bowles.\n\nThe case was then adjourned until 11.30 this morning.",

        "content_text": "August 9, 1934\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nNULLAH OUTRAGE\n\nCHINESE CHARGED\n\nCHARGED WITH MURDER OF MICHAEL PINE\n\nStory Of Dramatic Rescue\n\nThe sensational incident in Albany nullah, opposite the Lower Peak Tramway station on the afternoon of June 22 when five British children were thrown into the nullah, was recalled at Central Magistracy yesterday when a Chinese named Ng Loi Yuen, alias Ng Yik Sang was charged before Mr. E. W. Hamilton with the murder of Michael Pine, aged 8, and the attempted murder of the other children.\n\nA dramatic story of the rescue of the children was related by the Assistant Attorney General, Mr. J. A. Fraser, in his outline of the case, and the medical evidence given by Dr. D. J. Valentine was to the effect that the accused smelled strongly of alcohol on admission to the hospital and that he had endeavoured to escape from the prison ward.\n\nThe children concerned, it will be recalled, were Michael and Mary Pine (twins), Fay Bromley, Tony Flood, and Norman Stone.\n\nHow Accused Was Arrested\n\nMr. J. A. Fraser, Assistant Attorney General, appeared for the Crown, and Mr. R. C. H. Lim, instructed by Mr. J. M. Hall, represented the accused.\n\nOutlining the facts of the case, Mr. Fraser said that on the afternoon of June 22, five children, Michael and Mary Pine, Fay Bromley, Tony Flood, and Norman Stone were playing on the bridge which carried the path below the railway bridge just opposite the Lower Peak Tram station across the nullah called the Albany nullah.\n\nWoo Lai, the gateman of the tram station, saw these children playing and immediately afterwards they were thrown over, one by one, by a Chinese alleged to be the accused. After throwing the last of the children into the nullah, he jumped over himself.\n\nMrs. Fairburn, who was going down past Garrison School, saw the last two children being thrown from the bridge which crossed the nullah a little way down. The children were thrown in between the road and the railway bridge, actually on the west side of the road bridge.\n\nFrom that bridge, one could see another bridge lower down. Mrs. Fairburn was approaching that bridge from the east side and saw this man throw over two children and then jump into the nullah. As the man threw the children, he faced away from Mrs. Fairburn, standing somewhat nearer to the south end.\n\nThe nullah was flowing strongly at the time. There had been a great deal of rain and the nullah was at least over knee-deep in water for grown-up persons. Apparently, by the time Mrs. Fairburn had seen this incident, three children had already disappeared.\n\nThe Rescue\n\nThe evidence was that the children were thrown over. Two of them, Fay Bromley and Tony Flood, were almost immediately rescued by two chair coolies, Ching Kam and Woo Hay, who were called by Mrs. Fairburn. Fay Bromley was handed over to Inspector Andrews of the Peak Tramways. A fitter engaged by the Peak Tramways rescued Tony Flood, who was then just below the bridge and got stuck on the other side, but Fay Bromley remained kneeling on a small step in the nullah there.\n\nThe third bridge was some 150 or 200 yards further down the nullah, opposite St. John's Cathedral. Some workmen employed by a military contractor were at work there. There were altogether six Chinese and a foreman. The foreman was on the bank when he saw a boy carried down the nullah. This boy must have been Norman Stone. The foreman called out to the workmen, one of whom jumped in to rescue the boy. Both of them were washed away, but the workmen stuck together and pulled the boy out of the nullah. The boy was handed over to the foreman, who knew him and took him back to his home.\n\nSEQUEL\n\nMr. Fraser said: Continuing, connecting the two stages, we have Lo Ching, a car cleaner who saw a European boy being carried down. He saw a Chinese and the European boy being swept down the nullah. By this time, there were shouts and people were attracted.\n\nA \"boy\" employed by the N.A.A.F.I. saw a girl, whom we now know to be Mary Pine, being carried down the stream. He jumped into the nullah. At the point where he jumped in, it was about fifteen feet deep. He himself was carried away.\n\nMr. Bowles was attracted by the shouts and he also jumped in a little lower down. He stretched himself across the nullah, making a sort of dam against which the girl could lie and crawl out. It was partially successful because when the girl reached him, there was a momentary check. She was not the only person in the nullah, for Michael Pine also came against this dam, and then the N.A.A.F.I. \"boy.\" So far, all went well. But there was a fourth body, whom we do not know, it must have been the accused. It came up against this dam, and all were swept away. Michael and Mary Pine were swept past Mr. Bowles, who saw Michael swept into the nullah and Mary to the side.\n\nCorporal Giles, of the South Wales Borderers, saw what happened and jumped into the nullah. He saw the N.A.A.F.I. \"boy\" trying to rescue the children and saw the children being swept away. He picked up Mary Pine and handed her over to Mr. Bowles.\n\nThe sentry on duty at the same bridge, Pte. Sellars, saw a Chinese holding on to a boy in the water and passed together into the tunnel. On the other side, Pte. Linton heard the noise and came to the nullah. Pte. Sellars called to Pte. Linton, who rushed down to the Murray Path, got into a rickshaw, and went to the Victoria Recreation Club with the intention of rescuing the boy.\n\nPte. O'Kelly, also of the Borderers, saw Corporal Giles and the others in the nullah. Giles called to him, and he also went to the V.R.C.\n\nMichael O'Kelly saw Pine floating in the water about twenty feet from the wall outside the V.R.C. He rescued him, rendered first aid, and took him to the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nPte. McCarthy and Pte. Simmons, who were in the Barracks at the time, also heard the commotion. They went down the west side of the nullah but met no one at all. They came to the exit where the nullah entered the sea. Someone told them that the boy had been taken out. They returned by the east side of the nullah.\n\nThere are three manholes somewhere about the Naval Yard. The nullah is dark except...",

Mr. Wang Ching Wai, President of the Executive Yuan, in his declaration, said that the Tangku Agreement included only military and not political matters. Since then, the Japanese made use of this Agree- ment and forced Nanking to carry out the \"through traffic and through mail\" provisions, while Gen. Huang Fu and Mr. Wang Ching Wei, during that time, still stated that there was no secret stipulation included in the Tangku Agreement, so no outsider could apprehend the mystery of the Agreement. Mr. Hu was of the opinion that the agreement tained more than has been divul- ged to the public.\n\ncon-\n\n\"A certain diplomatist who had recently returned from Europe, has said: 'Since the Japanese Foreign Office had issued the \"Hands-off China Policy\" on April 17th, all the Chinese ministers in Europe had received special instructions from Mr. Wang Ching Wei, pro- hibiting them to make any state-\n\nthe accused.

        "content_text": "168\n\nTHE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS &\n\nAugust 9, 1934\n\nAugust 9, 1934\n\nADMISSIBILITY OF CHILD'S EVIDENCE\n\nTO BE DECIDED AT SUPREME COURT\n\nGrave Allegation Against Young Chinese\n\nThe Nullah outrage case in which Ng Loi Yuen, alias Ng Yick Lam, alias Ng Yick San, aged 28, is being charged with the murder of Michael Pine, aged 8, and the attempted murder of Stone, Norman, Tony Flood, Fay Bromley, and throwing them all into the Albany Nullah, near the Lower Peak Tram Station, on June 22, was continued before Mr. Hamilton at Central Magistracy on Friday.\n\nThe feature of the hearing was the evidence given by Mary Pine, the twin sister of the unfortunate lad, who, standing beside His Worship, pointed out the accused as the man who threw her and her playmates into the nullah.\n\nMr. J. A. Fraser, assistant Attorney General, instructed by Mr. W. A. Lockhart-Smith, assistant Crown Solicitor, appeared for the Crown, and Mr. C. H. R. Lim, instructed by Mr. J. M. Hall, was for the accused.\n\nMurder Of Michael Pine\n\nMr. V. C. Branson, Government analyst, testified that on June 23, he received from Dr. D. J. Valentine a bottle containing urine. He examined it and found that alcohol was present, and the amount was 110 milligrammes per 100 cubic centimeters.\n\nMr. Hamilton: What is that, it does not mean anything to me.\n\nMr. Fraser: It does not matter, it only shows that alcohol was present.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Lim, Mr. Branson said that he received the bottle at 9:48 a.m., and tested it at about 11 a.m. He tested the urine in the usual way.\n\nMr. Lim: Is it your opinion that if the urine had been tested immediately after it was taken, would there be more alcohol?\n\nMr. Branson: I cannot express any opinion whatsoever.\n\nMary Pine\n\nMary Pine, aged 8, the twin sister of Michael, was then called. His Worship enquired of Mr. Fraser about the admissibility of her evidence.\n\nMr. Fraser said that the question would be decided at the Supreme Court.\n\nHis Worship: Are you suggesting that I should administer the oath?\n\nMr. Fraser: I see no reason why it should not be made. The child is eight years of age.\n\nMrs. Pine, who was present, said that her daughter had been to Sunday school and understood the Bible.\n\nMary Pine was then put into the witness-box and was put through a test by Mr. Fraser, who asked: Do you know what is a lie?\n\nMary Pine replied: When you say something which is not what it is.\n\nYou have been to Church, Mary? - Yes.\n\nDo you know what happened to people who tell lies? - No.\n\nMr. Fraser then told His Worship that the Lord Chief Justice of England had taken evidence from a child beside him, and he had also seen the same thing done by the learned Recorder of London.\n\nMary was then taken to stand beside His Worship together with her mother.\n\nHis Worship enquired if evidence could be taken from a child without being sworn.\n\nMr. Fraser: There is, your Worship. It is up to your discretion whether to take the evidence or not.\n\nHis Worship then asked Mary: You know what truth is?—Yes.\n\nDo you know what an oath is?—Yes.\n\nHis Worship: I think we will take it at that. She told me she realised that lies are very wicked.\n\nI am satisfied that she understands the difference between lie and truth, but I doubt if she understands the oath.\n\nMr. Fraser: Mary, do you live with your mother at No. 4 \"B\" Block, military married quarters, Kennedy Road?\n\nYou remember one day you were in the nullah, Mary?—Yes.\n\nHow did you get into the nullah? A man threw me in.\n\nWhere were you when he threw you in?—I was on the bridge by the Peak Tram.\n\nWho else were there?—Norman Stone, Tony Flood, Fay Bromley, and my brother Michael.\n\nWhat were you doing before you were thrown in?—Playing on the bridge.\n\nWho was it who threw you in?—That man standing in the dock.\n\nDid you see what he was wearing? A white coat and black trousers.\n\nWas he wearing a hat?—Yes. A flat straw hat.\n\nDid he do anything else, besides throwing you in? He threw the others in too.\n\nHow do you know that?—I saw him.\n\nWho did he throw in last?—Me.\n\nDid you see what happened to the man afterwards?—Yes. He was holding me all the time when I was in the nullah.\n\nHave you ever seen the man again? I saw him in the police station on another day when I tried to find out who threw me in.\n\nHow many men did you see at that time?—I saw nine.\n\nMr. Fraser smilingly informed His Worship that the number was correct.\n\nMr. Fraser (to Mary Pine):—Who was the man you picked out? That man over there (Accused).\n\nWhy did you pick him out?—Because I thought he was the one who threw me into the nullah.\n\nDid you again go to the police station and were shown a number of straw hats?—Yes. I picked out one which I thought was the one the man was wearing.\n\nFormal Question\n\nBefore opening his cross-examination, Mr. Lim remarked: I understand she will be giving evidence in the Supreme Court if this case were committed. In that case, I have one or two formal questions; I don't want to ask her many questions.\n\nMr. Lim (to witness):—How long have you been playing before you saw this man?—When we came to play on the bridge, the man was there already.\n\nWere you playing at the playground first and then came to the bridge? Yes.\n\nWhere was the man when you first saw him?—On the bridge.\n\nDid you remember what he was doing? Just walking up and down.\n\nWho was thrown into the nullah first? Tony Flood.\n\nDid you see him being thrown yourself or somebody told you about it? I saw him myself.\n\nDid any of the other children see Tony Flood being thrown into the nullah? Yes.\n\nWhat did you do when you saw him doing it?—I did not do anything.\n\nWere you frightened?—Yes.\n\nDid you call out for help?—No. I tried to run away. I managed to run a little bit.\n\nDid you see who was thrown in after Tony Flood?—Norman Stone, and then my brother Michael.\n\nWhere were you when this man got hold of you and threw you into the nullah? I was at the far side of the bridge.\n\nWong Shu Kai, accountant of the Swatow Drawn work in Peanut sweet, said that the accused had been working in the firm about four years ago. He worked for a few months, and after that, he did not see him again until June 21. Accused was wearing a white jacket and black trousers and a straw hat at the time when he saw him. He brought a rattan suitcase with him and told the witness that he intended to go to Singapore. He did not see anything unusual in his appearance.\n\nKam Cheng, public chair coolie, told the Court that on the day of the incident, he was in the chair coolies' shed in the Lower Peak Tram station when he heard a girl crying. He went out and saw a girl in the nullah. He pulled her out and handed her to Injector Andrews of the Peak Tramways.\n\nHave you ever been down in the nullah before?—Yes. I have been down before but not on that day.\n\nDid you go to the hospital to see this man at all?—No.\n\nDo you remember what kind of dress he had on that day? Witness could not describe it, but said she could recognise it if produced.\n\nAt the police station, you saw nine men together, do you remember what position this man was in? No. They were all standing up in a row.\n\nHow did you pick him up?—Because his face was pallid.\n\nYou remember anything else besides his face?—No.\n\nDid you notice any wound on his head?—No.\n\nHow did the man look, was he happy or unhappy?\n\nMr. Fraser interrupted by saying that the witness could hardly expect to tell of a man's happiness or unhappiness.\n\nHis Worship: There is a possibility of some look which prompted recognition.\n\nMr. Fraser: I don't object to the question in that form.\n\nMr. Lim (to witness):—Was there any sort of look in his face that made you recognise him?—No.\n\nDo you remember what kind of dress he was wearing at the Police station?—He was wearing black trousers and a white coat.\n\nDid you see any other of the men with the same dress?—There were some men, but I don't remember how many.\n\nMr. Fraser informed His Worship that the girl was Fay Bromley.\n\nIn reply to Mr. Lim, witness said that he was called by a European lady to go into the nullah. He could not identify that lady.\n\nHau Luk, a fitter employed by the Peak Tramways, said that he was working in the storeroom when he heard a child crying out. He went out and saw a boy in the nullah just below No. 1 bridge. He jumped in and pulled the boy out.\n\nThe case was then adjourned until Tuesday afternoon.\n\nMORE SUPPORT WANTED\n\nFor Australian And N.Z. Association\n\nThe first annual meeting of the Australian and New Zealand Association was held on Friday afternoon at the Jacobean Room of the Hongkong Hotel, with Dr. J. D. Mathews in the Chair, supported by Mr. J. M. Kelleher (Treasurer) and Mr. N. Stockton (Secretary).\n\nIn surveying the work of the Association's first year, the Chairman said that the Association had a membership of 85, but as nine of their number had left the Colony, the effective membership was 76.\n\nBeing its first year, the Association had had to feel its way. It had endeavoured to work where possible for Australians and New Zealanders' interests and to promote the social life of the members.\n\nA question was raised as to the possibility of increasing membership, and it was thought that members might personally make an effort to \"rope in\" other Australians in the Colony.\n\nThe Chairman informed the meeting that many Australians did not join because they said there was no clubhouse, but if the Association had its clubhouse, these people would perhaps still keep away.\n\nOne of the reasons, said the Chairman, why there were so many people who had not joined was that the Club was open to non-British Australians.\n\nThe election of officers which followed resulted in Mr. J. D. Matthews being re-elected Chairman, Mr. J. R. Way Vice Chairman, and Mr. N. Stockton, Hon. Secretary. There were no nominations for Hon. Treasurer.\n\nThe General Committee was as follows: - Messrs. A. E. Hughes, J. Hunter, A. W. Ingram, J. M. Kelleher, R. J. McNeill, F. J. Neill.\n\nThe monthly tiffins had been a popular feature and provided an opportunity for fellowship, and the Chairman thought they served a very useful purpose.\n\nThere was a doubt latterly as to whether these tiffins were a hindrance rather than a help, and they have since rather fallen out.\n\nPersonally, the Chairman thought that was a mistake. At some of these tiffins, members had the pleasure of meeting Australian guests.\n\nOther functions included a dance on Anzac Day and two launch picnics.\n\nThe Chairman congratulated Mr. J. R. Way upon his appointment as Commanding Officer of the Anzac Company.\n\n\"I feel sure,\" he said, \"that in Mr. Way's hands, the company will continue to flourish.\"\n\nIn connection with the Anzac Company, the Chairman appealed to Australians in Hongkong to do what they could to forward the interest of that Company.\n\n\"We owe a duty to this Colony and to our Homeland to make that Company thoroughly efficient and thus uphold the name of our country and our people, and moreover, we will thus be able to take an active part in any defence of the Colony that may unfortunately become necessary.\n\nClubhouse Desired\n\nA lengthy discussion followed with regard to the question of a clubhouse for the Association.\n\nThe meeting was informed that such a scheme would cost at least $1,000 (Continued on Previous Column)",

About the middle of the page. \"Mary was then brought in etc.\" \n\nMr. Hayden: Have you referred to this in your grounds?\n\nLim: This is taken generally on the first ground of appeal. \"It may be no more than that\" I submit that sentence is misleading. I submit \"It can be no more than that.\" The jury might think that it might mean she identified the appellant as the man who threw her in. In the absence of Mary's evidence, the defence would be prejudiced.\n\nMr. Hayden: It is a nice refinement of language. (Discussion and Mr. Lim said if nothing had been mentioned of what Mary Pine would say then this summing up would be free from any criticism.) (Further discussion as to how Mary Pine's identification mentioned in the opening of Crown's case would imply appellant as man who threw her in. Mr. Fraser said that as far as he remembered was that accused would be identified by Mrs. Jairbum and Mary Pine.)\n\nMr. Lim: Roscoe on Cr. Evidence page 121 - 2nd para. 15th edition, under the headings \"Inadmissible evidence.\"\n\nMr. Hayden: That is a misrepresentation of evidence; this is not in this case.\n\nMr. Lim quotes Dibble's case. One Criminal Appeal p.155. Then Judgment of the case on p.157\n\nMr. Hayden: That goes to show that each case depends on its own circumstances.\n\nMr. Lim: Yes, but the main point is this. That however strongly the learned trial judge might have cautioned the Jury, once evidence which should not have been before the jury, had been before the jury, that mischief is done and cannot be undone, unless the Crown can say that the jury were not in any way influenced by the opening in reference to Mary Pine's evidence.\n\n(Discussion as to how jury must have been affected by the mention of Mary's evidence in the Crown's opening).\n\nMr. Lim: The Crown say this. There were these children on the bridge. One of them left at a certain time and was going home. It was at that time that the appellant threw these three other children into the nullah. Whatever happened must have happened during the time that Eric Davies left the other five children, to go home and have a drink, and the time that his attention was attracted by a Korean. The Crown gave evidence that during that short space of time at least two children were seen to be thrown by appellant. During the time that Eric Davies left them and the time when the appellant threw the first of the two children into the nullah, no one knew what happened; they were asked to guess. Now, the Crown say, you have to infer from that that the accused must have thrown or pushed the other three children into the nullah. The defence say this: \"During that short space of time, that same short space of time, it was equally possible that the children who were playing, throwing stones in the nullah, may have fallen over. Then the cause of death would be equally consistent with the opinion of Dr. Valentine. The Crown ask the Jury to infer one thing that the children were pushed or thrown into the nullah.\n\nMr. Hayden: The question for the Jury was which was the more likely to happen.\n\nMr. Lim: If both the theory put forward by the Crown and put forward by the Defence are equally consistent then...\n\nMr. Hayden: Is it equally consistent? that is the point.\n\nMr. Jacks: That is a matter for the Jury.\n\nMr. Lim: I submit that the sum total as a whole or separately was not wholly inconsistent with the appellant's innocence.\n\nMr. Hayden: The appellant was seen to throw in two of the five children. You want the jury to believe that the other fell into the nullah accidentally.\n\nMr. Lim: Is that not equally consistent?",

I will now refer you to the authority of King v. Stoddart 8 Cr. App. R. 844 – last paragraph, Judgment. The point I would like to submit there is although there was strong evidence against appellant to support the view taken by the Jury, yet the Court could not see that the facts established are inconsistent with innocence. In other words, if they could have said that, they could probably have said that the proviso under section 4 could have applied.\n\n(Discussion on one)\n\nMay I now refer Your Lordships to two or three other cases in which although the trial judge warned the jury to disregard certain pieces of evidence which was admitted to be inadmissible, the conviction was quashed.\n\nKing v.

Hemmingway → Vol. 8 at page 49.\n\nJudgment.\n\n(Mr. Lim states inadmissible evidence was put to the Jury and Mr. Fraser states that to his knowledge no such inadmissible evidence was ever put before the Jury). Mr. Lim reiterates that evidence re Mary's Fine evidence which was not forthcoming, was inadmissible. If the Jury had not heard the reference to Mary Fine's evidence in the Crown's opening, they would not have returned the same verdict.\n\nMr. Hayden: That is really the point.\n\nDr. Lin: Yes, I submit they would not. R. v. Borrissey, 23 Cr. Reports p.189. That is the conclusion of my case on the first point. - The defence was seriously prejudiced.\n\nThe next point is on misdirection as appearing on the notice of appeal that the Learned Trial Judge has not with sufficient clearness stated to the Jury what the main defence was. Namely, that one or more of the three children other than those seen by Mrs. Fairburn were either playing in the nullah or accidentally fell into the nullah while throwing stones. I refer to the evidence which was adduced before the trial judge and the jury.\n\nThe Crown put up the theory that during the time the appellant left the children and during the time Mrs. Fairburn saw the man throw the two children into the nullah, the appellant must have thrown the other children into the nullah. The defence is that the three other children might have fallen in while they were throwing stones, or the three other children might have gone down into the nullah to play and were accidentally washed away by the strong current.",

The defence did not for one moment contradict the evidence of Mrs. Fairburn as to whether she saw the boy and girl thrown in or not.\n\nPage 13 of Judge's notes. Cross examination on page 15.\n\nThe statement in the summing up that Mrs. Fairburn remained unshaken in cross-examination showed to the jury that although we attempted to show that the Appellant did not throw the two children into the nullah, we failed to prove that Mrs. Fairburn was not telling the truth, whereas the defence was that we accepted that the Appellant was seen by one of the Crown witnesses to have thrown two children. We accepted that, but as to the other three children we do not agree with the Crown. That was our case and to say that Mrs. Fairburn was \"unshaken\" must have conveyed a different idea to the Jury, especially if you read on the same page \"She has told you she saw a Chinese man...etc.\" I suggest there was no question in my cross-examination which was directed to contradict Mrs. Fairburn's statement that she saw the boy and the girl thrown into the nullah.\n\nMr. Fraser: - depositions\n\nMr. Jacks: -\n\nMr. Fraser:\n\nMr. Lim:\n\nWill your Lordships look at the cross-examination on page 14.

(What Mrs. Fairburn said discussed).\n\nMr. Hayden: It seems to me that the trial Judge's summing up was very fair.\n\nMr. Lim: As Your Lordship pleases. The next point is on page 15. 3rd paragraph of the summing up. \"The alternative is not to accept at the moment Eric Davis' evidence\". To say this is to suggest that the theory put up by the defence is an absurd one. That being so, I submit that the main defence was not put up to the jury with sufficient clearness to show what the defence was. The jury had been confused particularly in reference to the summing up on page 15. The defence say whatever happened must have happened between that period of time when the Crown said one thing and the defence another.\n\n3 Cr. Appeal p. 77. King v. Dinnick. Then Judgment page 79.\n\nMr. Hayden: - That case was decided in 1909. The case which I referred to was decided in 1921 bearing on the same point.\n\nMr. Lim: But this case was not overruled by that case. I might find that the facts do not all agree but this principle of law still stands. \"However weak the defence is, it should be fairly put before the jury. And when it was said that the defence would be to contradict Eric Davis' evidence, I submit that the defence was not properly put to the jury. This case is confirmed in R. v. Imer. 3 Cr. Appeal p. 22. p. 24. 2nd para. of the judgment. (Mr. Fraser requests Mr. Lim to read on: whereupon Mr. Lim states it is for Mr. Fraser to read out anything if he finds it wrong). (Discussion).\n\nI take the view that taking the summing up as a whole, the defence was not fairly put to the jury. The defence put up is consistent with the rest of the evidence.\n\nKing v. Sovosky. 1 Cr. Appeal page 99 - Judgment.\n\nMr. Hayden: - How is that in point?\n\nMr. Lim: - This is in reference to that statement in the summing up on page 15. that the alternative is not to accept Eric Davis' evidence.\n\nMr. Hayden: - That would be straining the language very much.\n\nPage 20\n\nPage 21",

He cannot have a fair trial owing to the fact that the jury had tried him and returned their verdict had heard what the evidence of Mary Pine would be.\n\nThe next ground which is my last ground is the additional ground. The evidence of Mrs. Fairburn in the absence of the evidence of Mary Pine was wrongfully admitted and put to the jury. No objection could possibly have been taken at the trial because the defence was conducted on the admission that the Crown was going to call Mary Pine to give evidence.\n\nI submit in the absence of Mary Pine's evidence the evidence of Mrs. Fairburn was not admissible on the ground as put forward, because the evidence of Mrs. Fairburn as to the throwing of the two children could be classified as falling under the heading of \"similar act\". I submit evidence of similar acts cannot be given in any trial unless the Crown has first of all made out a prima facie case against the appellant.\n\nI refer to only one authority. R. vs. Smith Vol. 11 Cr. Appeal page 229. Judgment. Statement on Law on page 237. About the middle of page... \"It is sufficient if the whole judgment is read.\n\nMr. Hayden: Would that not be evidence of \"similar acts not committed at the same time\" - that is the whole point of the case.\n\nIf there is evidence to prove any one of the three children had been thrown by the appellant then these two points are admissible on the ground that that formed part of res gestae.\n\n(Discussion on how case compares with present case and Mr. Hayden does not agree it compares).\n\nAdjourned to 2.15 p.m.\n\n2.15 p.m.\n\n9.10.34.\n\nMR. FRASER.\n\nMy Lords, the case for the appellant has been put by my friend with great length with his usual eloquence and it is incumbent on me to put the case at your Lordships' request, for the respondent.\n\nIn the first place may I apologise for having interrupted the proceedings of this Court so often during my friend's proceedings. I was led into that course by what was rather unexpected to me, the attributing to my opening speech a great many things which had no place there.\n\nThat being so I feel it also incumbent upon me to define as shortly as possible what was said or what could have been said and first of all I would direct your Lordships to the statement which is before you at paragraph (a) - the statement is that Mary Pine would say some of the children etc.\n\nNow that is the only statement in which direct mention is made that any witness will say a particular thing and from this contiguity of the two statements - Eric Davis and Mary Pine, Your Lordships will see the reason for putting it in that form. It was an attempt by me to anticipate in the minds of the jury any confusion that might arise between these two statements and I put it to them straight away.",

I may have said \"A man threw Mary in.\" \"He threw the others in too.\" or \"The defendant threw the others in too - that of course includes Michael - that is the second uncontradicted statement in my opening address. After that \"Defendant was the man\" that arises out of the identification. These are the only three statements of Mary which are not mentioned in other evidence. \n\nIf your Lordships will look at the notice of additional evidence, there that has got \"Defendant was already on the bridge. About the 12th line down. That is another thing that may have been said. \n\nThen after that Your Lordships will have read the notice of additional evidence - this is the gist of it \"Mary turned round and saw the man push Michael Pine and the two other boys from the bridge into the nullah....etc.\" \n\nI am going to show how much or how little of that could have affected the Jury had there been no warning at all. \n\nThat is all that I can find either in the depositions or in the notice of additional evidence that could have been said depending on the evidence of Mary alone. My friend has not put it to you but I am putting it to you. (Additional evidence not given to Judges). \n\nLet me call your attention to these statements. The statement Mary Pine will say some of the children were standing on the second rail. That is contradicted by the evidence of Eric Davis. The evidence Eric Davis gave before the Court of trial was that all the children were standing on one side of the bridge on the concrete. \n\nAs to the statement that the defendant was already on the bridge. Eric Davis did not see him. There was evidence given about that. That was contradicted in the Crown Case. There was evidence given about that. \n\nAs to the rest of it \"that Mary went round and saw the man etc.\" \n\nThat is flatly contradicted by Mrs. Fairburn who says that the two children appeared to be standing looking over. There is evidence on all these points in direct contradiction to what any Counsel would have been justified in opening - so if I did say those words I brought evidence to contradict or corroborate every one of them, except these two. \n\n(1) The man threw Mary in. (2) The man threw the others in - the others meaning the first three children. These two statements are the only two statements which depend entirely on the evidence of Mary Pine. I don't say they were made they may have been made. (Mr. Fraser explains at length). \n\nNow on the points of law that the case should have been withdrawn from the Jury on the application of the defence and that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence. I will deal with that together. \n\nThen that the judge should have discharged the Jury when Mary Pine was not produced. I will deal with that as a separate point. \n\nThen with the new point of law that Mrs. Fairburn's evidence is inadmissible in the absence of Mary Pine's. I shall deal with the law under those three heads in that order. I shall deal with the questions of fact under two heads - the first head as to the miscarriage of justice and the mentioning of Mary Pine prejudicing the defence, and then of the points on misdirection under a separate head.",

When I say there I refer to his being at some time on the bridge. That was definitely proved. He was not there on the bridge we know from Eric Davies, but he was there on the bridge, we know from Mrs.Fairburn.\n\nMr.Lim: From the evidence it was quite clear there was no evidence the appellant was on the bridge until he was seen by Mrs.Fairburn.\n\nMr.Fraser: The first person who saw him on the bridge was Mrs. Fairburn he must have come to the bridge between the time Eric Davies left and the time Mrs. Fairburn came.(Mr.Fraser then enlarges upon the appellant's intention to commit suicide and Dr.Valentine's evidence).\n\n(Short time elapsed between Eric Davies' departure and Mrs. Fairburn's arrival discussed - and Mr. Fraser explains how improbable it was for the children to have gone down the nullah steps etc.Steps were photographed and commented upon.)

        "content_text": "-18-\n\nThursday\n\n11.10.34\n\n11 a.m.\n\n30\n\nMr. Fraser: My Lords; With regard to the last point of law that with the absence of the Crown's witness, Mary Pine, the evidence of Mrs. Fairburn was wrongfully admitted and put to the jury. This point was not raised at the trial and my case is that it is not competent for this Court now to deal with that point. I shall deal with that later. The evidence of Mrs. Fairburn, I contend is admissible from several angles, admissible as part of the res gestae, it is admissible to explain how the accused got into the nullah; and it is admissible to rebut the defence of accident.\n\nThe part I am dealing with of course is the part of Mrs. Fairburn's evidence which says that she saw the accused throw two children into the nullah and also that the accused jumped into the nullah.\n\nWhere are you going to stop if you are going to exclude the evidence from part of the res gestae. Are you going to exclude the fact that she saw two of the children thrown over or are you going to exclude the fact that he jumped over? The evidence that he jumped over apparently has nothing whatever to do with the pushing or throwing or dropping of Michael Pine into the nullah. The law of res gestae - Halsbury Hailsham edition Vol. 13 pages 528 to 529, also at page 551. The words \"Any fact forming part of the transaction being enquired into is sufficiently connected therewith to be provable although it may not in itself be issuable\".\n\nImportant. Page 551 \"Facts in issue\". It was distinctly stated in the Judgment that what the jury were deciding was not what the prisoner did to the other children; it was stated over and over again that that was not the point; the fact they were determining was whether the accused threw Michael Pine in or not.\n\nPhipson 6th Edition pages 57 and 70. Under the heading \"Accompanying Facts\". That is what happened in this case; they accompanied and tended to explain the main fact. Consider the transaction; this may have taken a very short time. Obviously it did from the evidence given. The only possible explanation of its taking place in such a peculiarly short time, the Crown will say, is that these children were in a position which rendered them peculiarly liable to be thrown over or pushed over; there was no time for the other two, those who were lifted over, to escape, and that the whole thing formed part of one transaction.\n\nMy friend has enlarged somewhat on the difficulty of lifting 5 children one after the other without any of them running away or escaping. Your Lordships pointed out that they may have been paralysed by fear. There is another more reasonable explanation; perhaps it would require no more than one push to send three over if these children were all bunched together over the bridge.\n\nMr. Lim: There is no evidence of that. This is merely surmise.\n\nMr. Fraser: The Crown says that it is the only reasonable explanation for this. That one or two pushes must have been administered to push these three children in in that short space of time. The matter of res gestae is thus clearly established.\n\nPhipson page 70, 6th Edition (7th Edition page 68).\n\nThese are exactly the circumstances where the Crown says the present evidence of Mrs. Fairburn should be admitted.\n\nMr. Hayden: Was there a prima facie case established against her before she gave her evidence?\n\n(Discussion as to there being a prima facie case).\n\nMr. Hayden: In the case of Smith it would appear that they held her evidence of the subsequent incidents or deaths to have been admissible only after a prima facie case had been established. In that case\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31",

There must be a prima facie case without Mrs. Fairburn's evidence. If a prima facie case was not established then the whole thing would have to go.\n\nMr. Hayden: Cr.\n\nRefer to for the Crown\n\nMr. Fraser: R.\n\nAppeal Reports Vol.11 at p.229.\n\nthe judgment of Lord Reading and also to the Counsel\n\nMr. Bodkin.\n\nv. Armstrong 16 Cr. Appeal Reports p.149.\n\nI would refer Your Lordships back to the case of Smith page 237. \"It is sufficient to say that it is not disputed and could not be disputed that if as a matter of law there etc...\n\nMr. Hayden: I put it to you like this. Apart from the evidence of Mrs. Fairburn, apart from her evidence, there is a prima facie case made out?\n\nMr. Fraser: Certainly. The evidence apart from Mrs. Fairburn's was this: The defendant was depressed beforehand and was excited with drink. He previously considered committing suicide and murder. The child Michael was perfectly alright a short time before. The defendant was seen just below the bridge. The accused got into the water at least within 50 yards or so of the bridge. That is where he got into the water. He was there about the time. The accused and three children were washed down together so that all the children must have got into the water together. There is the evidence of his subsequent conduct in the nullah which the Crown say tends to prove guilty knowledge. That is to say his getting out of the water in the tunnel and there, it is suggested, concealing himself.\n\nSmith's was decided on a different point. I am contending Mrs. Fairburn's evidence is evidence of the actual transaction which took place. Mrs. Fairburn's evidence is part of the evidence which must go in and to show that she saw the accused on the bridge. I have actually proved he was on the bridge. You cannot exclude that. If you exclude these two acts of throwing the other two children over, the case is just the same as before. The man was there; he was the only man who had the opportunity of throwing these children in to throw Michael Pine in. There is evidence that he attempted to commit suicide because he jumped over the bridge himself. That is not suggested should be excluded? The only evidence that my friend says should be excluded is that of Mrs. Fairburn saw the accused throw the other two children over.\n\nMr. Lim: At least that...\n\nMr. Fraser: If you are going to exclude that then where are you going to stop? Your Lordships pointed out to my friend yesterday in the course of his argument that these acts were contemporaneous with the act charged and not after the lapse of some considerable time.\n\nThe Smith case does not arise as to whether this particular point should be considered under the heading of \"Similar Acts\" and I am contending it is not. After a lapse of 15 minutes it was held to be a case of res gestae. I am not trying to show that this man had a system. It was not part of a system that he threw the children in. It is all part of one act. (Reads case again).\n\n(Mr. Fraser again asserts prima facie case was established, and that Mrs. Fairburn's evidence was admissible).\n\n(Compare how case is applicable with R. v. Armstrong).

To show how the learned trial judge regarded the evidence. \"Let me next remind you that the charge against the accused is murder of Michael Pine and it does not matter here and now what you may be satisfied he did to the other children etc.\" That passage clearly shows that the learned Chief Justice was warning the jury against any wrong inference that might be drawn as to the accused's conduct. That is a warning on the same lines as the warning which I read to your Lordships and it is a warning very proper in the circumstances.\n\nNaturally His Lordship the Chief Justice did not direct the jury on the ground on which to consider the facts admissible. It is not for the trial judge to explain to the jury why he admits the evidence. It is sufficient that he considers it admissible and the question for Your Lordships is if the evidence of Mrs. Fairburn that she saw the appellant on the bridge is admissible, I do not see why she could not say that she saw the accused throw the children in. “Ex hypothesi two children might have been Michael Pine.\n\nMr. Lim: There is no evidence on that to the contrary in fact.\n\nMr. Fraser: Mr. Fraser states how Mrs. Fairburn came to the conclusion that the children she saw rescued were the same as those she saw thrown in. Mrs. Fairburn did not know others had been thrown in and it was quite open to the Jury to infer one of the two children she saw thrown in was Michael Pine.\n\nMr. Lim: The question before the jury was - Was one of the children thrown in Michael Pine, and if the jury had given the verdict \"Yes\" then that would have been against the weight of evidence.\n\nMr. Jackson: That point was not raised by the Chief Justice.\n\nMr. Fraser: He referred to it in general terms only, for him to point out that she might have made a mistake.\n\nAt top of page 8 of the summing up.\n\nIt was proper (Mr. Lim interrupts and says that from the evidence of Mary Pine the last two children were girls, Mrs. Fairburn has specifically stated that one of these two children might be Michael Pine. We must say it could not be Michael Pine as Mary stated the last two children according to her evidence, were Jay Bromley and herself.)\n\nMr. Fraser: Am I wrong in making this submission because I would like to continue to make this submission.\n\nMr. Jackson: No.\n\nMr. Fraser: There was evidence on which the Jury might have come to the conclusion that either of these two children might have been Michael Pine, but necessarily it was put in very careful terms used by the learned trial judge at page 8. If you remember Mrs. Fairburn said that she thought one was a boy and one was a girl.\n\nLame 3 Cr. App. Reports page 259, page 262. Concluding passage.\n\n\"It was argued that certain evidence was improperly admitted etc. Objection to this evidence could have been taken at the trial. That is clear and no objection was taken, I don't say objection could have been taken. Mrs. Fairburn went into the box but it certainly could have been taken when the Crown case closed and no objection was then taken so that evidence at the trial.\n\nParkinson 14 Cr. Appeal Reports page 9 - on the same point. page 10. King v. Cairns 20 Cr. App Reports p. 44.\n\nIf objection must be taken at the same time how much more must objection be taken to the evidence at the Court of trial.\n\nThen the next point. With regard to the mentioning of Mary Pine's evidence in my opening address, prejudicing the defence.\n\nRoscoe 18th edition page 121 and 297.

Mrs. Fairburn was attracted to the bridge. The accused got on the bridge and then got down as far as Mr. Bowles within two minutes. Mr. Andrews got off that Peak Tram at 18 minutes past. He was attracted by screams. Mr. Bowles Watch stopped at 20 minutes past. The distance between the bridge and the married quarters where Eric Davies says he lives is shown on the plan.

The distance is not 200 yards.\n\nMr. Jacks: It was impossible to get the amount of time very accurately but it was a short time.\n\nMr. Fraser: The only submission is that it was very short and that admission so far was unattacked and I have not heard anything else suggested until now. The learned trial judge has tried to help the defence in saying \"Now don't believe Eric Davies if you don't believe him you can see how easy it is for the defence to be right. That, I submit, is the proper construction to put on the words, and it does not say because Eric Davies has said such a thing the defence must be wrong.\n\nPages 19 and 20. \"Three of the children slipped into the nullah and two little ones who were left on top fell in\".\n\nMr. Lim: My suggestion is that the two on top called out to someone for help,\n\nMr. Fraser: And the learned trial judge said \"That is so, that roughly is the case\". I don't believe that my friend quarrels with that statement? I have never heard that statement contradicted by my friend.\n\nMr. Jacks: I think we will adjourn at this point to 2.30 p.m.\n\nThursday, 11.10.34\n\n2.30 p.m.\n\nMr. Fraser: This morning I indicated to the Court (expounds on case being res gestae as against res inter alios acta as maintained by Mr. Lim).\n\nByrne's definition read out.\n\nTaylor on the same point Vol.1 Chapter 7 11th Edition last para. p.582. Under the heading of \"hearsay\" - and distinguishes res gestae from \"hearsay\" pages 401 and 402. paragraph 591. There was a prima facie case as soon as Mrs. Fairburn said she saw the accused on the bridge that was sufficient for me.\n\nR. v. James Greenley 10 Cr. Appeal Reports p.273. Judgment p.275\n\nI submit the whole of Mrs. Fairburn's evidence, particularly the throwing in of the two children is res gestae. It is admissible also to disprove acts which is the defence in this case. Even if it were said, which I do not admit, that the evidence should have been postponed, until the other evidence had been given, even if that were so, it still would be admissible, because there was a prima facie case on the evidence without it.\n\nMr. Lim: That is not quite the fact. We object to the whole of the evidence of Mrs. Fairburn, and particularly to that part of the evidence where the accused was seen to throw the two children over.\n\nMr. Fraser: Then that strengthens my case. You cannot exclude the evidence of Mrs. Fairburn that she saw the accused on the bridge.\n\nR. v. Lwith. Women found in baths. Evidence as to how they got into the bath was irrelevant, was the submission. In that case there is a lapse of time between the killing of each wife. In this case it was a continuous act. Even in Smith's case the evidence was admitted.\n\nSumming Up\n\nPart of the defence was suicide. That was dealt with on p.10 bottom of page 10. The defence apparently was that he did commit suicide from the bridge but he only made up his mind to",

They are on the two questions of fact No. 1 and 2 (a). I consider both these matters are so related that they must be dealt with together. My reason for forming this opinion is that so far as I can see, there is no particle of evidence at the trial to show that the marks or bruises on Mary Pine's neck were caused by the Appellant, for all I know to the contrary it may have been caused by her rescuer who said that in his first attempt at rescue she slipped from his grasp. It is even possible that they may have been caused by contact with some inanimate object. Having regard to this fact can you explain how the learned trial judge came to use those words \"There is one piece of direct evidence which from the point of view of circumstantial evidence is of considerable importance etc.\n\nMr. Fraser: Immediately after those words he goes to the words which I am now referring to.\n\nMr. Hayden: Was not the damage done by stressing this point. The considerable importance of those bruises. They could only have been connected with the act of the accused. Is the importance of value to the accused or to the Crown? Mr. Fraser: You must read from the top of the page about 6th line down: Is it fair to say that after the learned trial judge has dealt with that point and told the jury they must give it their gravest consideration and also told them that there is no evidence at all to connect that with accused, and quite put it out of their minds as far as that is concerned is it fair to say that this is a misdirection? It is of great \"circumstantial importance\".\n\nMr. Hayden: Your point is that the remarks of the Chief Justice as to the bruises is that they were important as circumstantial evidence?\n\nMr. Fraser: That is so. It is clear, it is absolutely clear. He tells them they must fit it in with the whole. He does not tell them where to fit it in. It was perfectly open to the jury in the absence of the evidence of any witness including Mary Pine, to infer where those bruises had been received. It was extremely unlikely from the position and nature of the marks that they were inflicted by an inanimate object. (Mr. Fraser continues with how the bruises were caused and that no murderer would treat his victim lightly. Mr. Fraser also points out that the learned trial judge pointed out that there were improbabilities on both sides).\n\nMr. Fraser: I was very careful not to put Mary Pine's evidence",

Mary must have seen accused on bridge).\n\nPoint of Mrs. Fairburn's evidence where she said she was convinced that the children were in the same position as she expected when they were rescued.\n\nMr. Bar: This point is important. It was not in the Judge's note, one of the reasons she thought that the children were the same because they were in the same position where she expected them to be. I remember that evidence very clearly.\n\nMr. Fraser: Mrs Fairburn thought these children were the same on two grounds - (1) they were the same position in which she would expect to find the children and (2) because they were wearing similar clothes. She said she could not see the nullah from the bridge, also that she could not see the accused after he jumped in the nullah. I put it to the jury that they were open to think these two children were the same Mrs. Fairburn saw thrown in i.e. Mary Bromley and Tony Foo.\n\nWhere\n\nI am sorry to have taken up so much time.\n\nThere are some points which my friend raised and which I think I must answer,\n\nwith regard to Cohen's case that was mentioned by my friend. 2 Cr. Appeal Reports p.197, s. 4 ss 1 of the Cr. Appeal at p.207.\n\nMy friend read this out to you so I will not read it again. I would point out that to bring the beginning of that paragraph into effect there must be a wrong decision of a question of law. Assuming a wrong decision of a question of law then the rest of the paragraph takes effect. These words \"If there is a wrong decision of law\" govern the whole paragraph, That explains the difficulty which your lordship suggested to me when I read to you para 401 of Halsbury Vol. 9 p. 28.\n\nThere has been only one murder case in which an appeal has been set aside on that ground and that is the case of Ko Va - al lace which has already been quoted. There is another case which fits in with that case and that is the case of Winrles Sison,\n\n7 Cr. Appeal Reports page 45. That is a case where the conviction has been quashed where the verdict could not be supported by the evidence. There was also a misdirection.\n\nThe Wallace case is a step in advance of any case that has been taken before. That is as far as a Court of Criminal Appeal have so far gone.\n\nThere is the case of R v. Barron which was mentioned by my friend, 3 Cr. Ann. sal Reports p. 238, page 239. That case has already been read by my friend and I ask Your lordships to consider the whole of that page when making up your minds. That was a case of sodomy. Nothing was said in the summing up about the necessity for corroboration, and evidence of a previous examination of the same boy in June was improperly admitted.",

JELA (Discussion that evidence has equally consistent with innocence as with guilt - and there was no case to go before jury). Mr. Maven The question is - did the Crown produce a prima facie case?\n\nMr. Mini 1 am much obliged.\n\nIn this case I submit the jury might have been satisfied that the conclusion put forward to them by the Crown, (that is that the appellant must have pushed or thrown the other three children into the nullah including Mary Fine). That is not enough they must be further satisfied that all the evidence as put forward by the Crown are not inconsistent with any rational conclusion and the other rational conclusion is the conclusion put forward by the defence that these three children might have fallen over.\n\nMr. Bergue is my friend asking your Lordships to retry this case. Mr. Jackale cannot do that.\n\nI am asking your lordships to take all the evidence as put forward by the Crown as a whole and say whether they are not equally consistent with the conclusion put forward by the defence. I agree it has been put to the Jury, but I am putting it to this Court - I submit the jury was wrong in coming to that conclusion. They might be wrong in this – they may say \"We are satisfied that the fact as put forward by the Crown as a whole are consistent with the conclusion the Crown has asked us to come to\". They must consider further whether taking the evidence as a whole there is no other rational conclusion which is equally consistent with that which the Crown has asked them to come to.\n\nMr. Ezraori - kodukk Exkarday» ìut don't understand what that statement of the law has to do with this appeal?\n\nMy ground of argument is that there is no case to go to the jury and the verdict is against the weight of the evidence.

He might have fallen over and for all we know, died accidentally.\n\nMr. Hayden: It might be a very good argument as regards evidence\n\nof similar Acts.\n\nMr. Fraser's submission here is that it is not a similar act but that it is a connected action - part of the same transaction.\n\nWhat is the transaction?\n\nMy submission: Part of the offence which happened on that afternoon. The explanation of part of the whole is to show how the appellant came into the nullah.\n\nSuppose that Michael Pine and the other children were seen by Mrs. Fairburn had fallen in.\n\nMr. Jack: He has not given tant evidence.\n\nMy submission: The Crown has not given evidence that Michael Pine was thrown in or that he died when he was thrown in. The defendant is not charged with the death of Michael Pine but with his murder. There is the evidence that Michael Pine was murdered. In every case we can say it is part of res gestae if either there was evidence that deceased was murdered or if there was a prima facie case to show he was murdered.\n\n(Discussion regarding res gestae and similar acts. Murder of Michael Pine is part of the same transaction.\n\nInference non-existent without Mrs. Fairburn's evidence. Mr. Hayden correctly said that is why Mrs. Fairburn's evidence is admissible - because it is evidence relating to the point in issue.

My submission is this: The evidence of Mrs. Fairburn is not res gestae. At the very most to say it is accompanying facts - and not part of res gestae.\n\nEven assuming that Michael Pine was thrown in by appellant - that act is a clear distinct act by itself.\n\nMr. Fraser: Is my friend suggesting that we stop there?\n\nI do. If it had been proved that appellant pushed or threw Michael Pine, that is an act by itself and that he threw the other brother children are two other acts distinct from the act that he threw Michael Pine into the nullah. They are not acts of a similar nature.\n\nDocument similar\n\nMr. Hayden: Even if there is no time limit\n\nin 1- I submit time does not matter at all.

The learned Trial Judge informed the Jury that they should fit this piece of evidence into the jigsaw of pieces, but warned them to pay no attention to the suggestion made by Counsel for the Crown as to how she came by them, and stated that there was no evidence to support that suggestion; he left them with no explanation as to how she came by them.

TUNGCHOW was over 24 hours overdue at Hai Hai Wei, and that Messrs. Butterfield and Swire had heard nothing of her since leaving Shanghai, there were several possibilities to be considered, namely -\n\n1.\n\n2.\n\nA breakdown or navigational mishap on her normal route to the North.\n\nPiracy with subsequent landing either in the vicinity of the Yellow River mouth, 600 miles north of the Yangtse, or in the vicinity of Great Sands, 200 miles north of the Yangtse, or anywhere down the China coast as far as and including the vicinity of Hong Kong.\n\nThe movements ordered in my 1102 and 1103 were to meet as many of these eventualities as possible with the ships available, while keeping H.M.S. GRIMSBY at Shanghai for communication purposes.\n\n6.\n\nThe able Commodore, Hong Kong (Commodore F.Elliott, O.B.E., R.N.) at 1145 on 1st February made a signal to the anti-piracy patrol to \"Proceed with despatch to establish patrol off Chilang Point and endeavour to intercept the S.S.TUNG CHOW which may have been pirated while en route from Shanghai to Chefoo. She could arrive off Chilang today, Friday\".\n\n7.\n\nAt 1830 on 1st February I received information from the SUFFOLK in a signal timed 1804 to the following effect :-\n\nTO : C-in-C.\n\nFrom : SUFFOLK.\n\nIMPORTANT.\n\nbegins :-\n\nThe following signal just received Cape d'Aguilar from S.S.

HERMES, which was carrying out flying exercises to the eastward of Hong Kong during the forenoon of 1st February (when the anti-piracy destroyer was ordered to proceed with despatch to Chilang Point at the eastern end of Hong Hai Bay) flew off two flights of aircraft at 1346 and 1436 respectively, which searched the coastline and 30 miles to the seaward, from Mirs Bay as far as Breaker Point, the latter being about 60 miles eastward of Chilang Point. It was one of her aircraft which alarmed the pirates and caused them to land and bolt inland without taking any hostages and with practically no loot.\n\nThe Commodore, Hong Kong, in addition to giving orders to the Anti-Piracy Patrol, had also rung up Canton",

He lived through stirring times in European and Colonial history, but through them all he showed that unique detachment of mind which is more interested in the nesting habits of the nightjar than in the Declaration of Independence; is more affected by an unusual cloud of insects than by the French Revolution. He left us two interesting observations. One of these, in May 1777, was on earthworms. About a hundred years later Charles Darwin took up the hint then dropped and gave us \"The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms.”\n\nIn the second observation, about a year later, Gilbert White says:-\n\n\"Of all sorts of vegetation the grasses seem to be most neglected, neither the farmer nor the grazier seem to distinguish the annual from the perennial, the hardy from the tender, nor the succulent and nutritive from the dry and juiceless. The study of grasses would be of great consequence to a northerly and grazing kingdom. The botanist that could improve the sward of the district where he lived would be a useful member of society: to raise a thick turf on a naked soil would be worth volumes of systematic knowledge; and he would be the best commonwealth's man that could occasion the growth of 'two blades of grass where only one was seen before.'\n\n21\n\nMrs. Arber has now taken the hint and given us this monumental work on the grasses.* The work, of course, has not come a ready-made and completed miracle from the brain of Mrs. Arber as Athena came from the head of Zeus. For more than a generation the public has been indebted to her for her monographs and studies on the grasses and other families: botanists have requisitioned her erudition and research on monocotyledons, water-plants, and indeed over the whole range of morphological studies. And now after more than thirty years of intensive study she has epitomised her researches in this masterly volume, utilizing in her path all the scholarship and research which the great band of agrostologists from all over the world have placed at the disposal of the scientific scholar. But how few there are who could have used this mass of material with the wonderful skill and appropriateness which Mrs. Arber has displayed!\n\nThe study of the grasses embraces so much and is so far-reaching in its effects from the creation of the world to the flora of the New Jerusalem; from the diet of palaeolithic man to the food questions of President Roosevelt; from the latest news from Lord's or Wimbledon to the state of our digestion after a breakfast of shredded wheat or puffed rice—that any work dealing with the whole subject must stretch out into volumes.

Journal\n## British Empire and China Trade Fair Organiser's Visit to Provinces\n\nMany bookings, definite and provisional, have been made for the British Empire and China Trade Fair, scheduled to take place at Hong Kong in December. Mrs. Beatrice Thompson, the organiser, last month visited half a dozen leading industrial towns; and in Leeds, Leicester, Nottingham, and Birmingham, the local Chambers of Commerce promised to sponsor participation if sufficient firms indicated their readiness to join. One interesting result of Mrs. Thompson's visit to Manchester was that one of the biggest cotton manufacturing firms, which at the outset had been pessimistic about prospects in South China, decided, in consequence of Mrs. Thompson's more sanguine outlook, to send a representative to Hong Kong immediately and to book provisional space at the Fair.\n\nIn the course of a letter answering manufacturers who have asked how the Fair would benefit the sale of their products, Mrs. Thompson writes:—\n\nThere can be no dispute at this late date as to the buying power of the South China market lying practically entirely with the Chinese. If one cannot sell to them, directly or indirectly, one cannot sell enough to pay the salary of one European out in Hong Kong. It is said that the Chinese have no money to buy. May it not be, as we contend, that the Chinese are not told what to buy and where? The alternative to the Trade Fair appears to be (1) waiting for something to turn up; (2) waiting for Chinese to come to importers asking to be supplied with imported goods. A bleak prospect indeed! As a result of correctly using the Trade Fair, manufacturers have for the first time a very definite plan for the development of sales and are well on the way to establishing direct contact with a new market in the Interior.\n\nWhat manufacturers, importers, and the organisers of the Fair alike want are:\n\n| Item | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | The field of demand to be expanded. |\n| (b) | The Chinese consumers to be reached so that the manufacturer can be put in touch with as large a number as possible at an economical cost. |\n| (c) | The Chinese—the ultimate consumers of all imported goods—to be assisted in their buying power by the provision of better channels for their exports, so that they will have more money to spend. |\n\nThe Trade Fair meets these needs in the only way in which they can be met.\n\nBookings close on March 30th.",

        "content_text": "# Trade with China\n\n## Bright Prospects of Hong Kong Fair\n\n### SUCCESSFUL B.I.H. MEETING\n\nMany bookings have already been made for the British Empire and China Trade Fair, which is being organised in this country from British Industries House by Mrs. Beatrice Thompson, Managing Director of the Advertising and Publicity Bureau Ltd., of Hong Kong. Among the bookings is one by the Medical Section of British Industries House, and some tenants of which are co-operating in a joint exhibit. There are probably other tenants who would like to participate, and these are asked to communicate with Mrs. Thompson at British Industries House. Thompson is at present on a tour of the provinces, where meetings with manufacturers are being arranged for her by the Chambers of Commerce.\n\nA highly successful meeting of more than 100 manufacturers was addressed by Mrs. Thompson at British Industries House on January 24th, Sir Francis Goodenough, C.B.E., presiding. In an interesting discussion which followed, a remarkable confirmation of Mrs. Thompson's views as to the strength of the Chinese \"class\" market was forthcoming from Mr. D. W. Tobin, a manufacturer who commenced selling in South China twelve months ago. The products they sold, he said, were the most expensive of their kind. It was impossible to make them less expensive because the most up-to-date and scientific machinery and the best material were used. Yet his firm was making progress far beyond expectations. He was much impressed by a letter from his representative saying that he was surprised at the way the Chinese were buying during the period of financial stress. He thought that whereas in good times the Chinese might not mind so much what they bought, today they were carefully choosing the expensive article under the conviction that it would prove more economical in the long run.\n\nMrs. Thompson observed that this was precisely the point she was trying to bring home.\n\nAt the outset, Sir Francis Goodenough read a letter from Sir Thomas Southorn, K.B.E., C.M.G., Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong, introducing Mrs. Thompson and asking for support for the Fair. The Fair would, he was sure, be of great benefit to British trade.\n\nSir Francis said that the Fair needed at this stage the support of British manufacturers, and in giving this, manufacturers should bear in mind the increasing competition from other countries now evident in South China.\n\nIn her address, Mrs. Thompson spoke first of the radical difference between the Southern and the Northern Chinese, and what this implies in terms of trade. Southern Chinese, she said, formed 50 per cent. of the total population of Malaya and controlled 90 per cent. of the trade. This meant that the whole of this territory became, from the merchant's point of view, one homogeneous trading area.\n\nNow (she continued) the fact that a rich section of the greatest undeveloped market in the world, peopled by the most enterprising section of the Chinese, is linked so closely with the British people, is surely one that merits our closest attention. What are we in Great Britain doing to profit by this opportunity? Do we even realise what a specially favoured position we hold in South China? Admittedly, there are many obstacles hindering the development of British trade with the Chinese—political, economic, and social. Supposing every one of these were to be swept away by a stroke of the pen, very little improvement would be shown, unless and until British exporters altered their methods to those which are, rightly considered, essential when desiring to do business with any other country in the world.\n\nThose methods may be summed up in the phrase: Establishing Direct Contact with the Customers. Direct Contact implies a knowledge of the customer's needs, habits, likes, and dislikes: how to dress up the sales story, so that he will stop to read it and act on it. Where and how to place this sales story so as to reach the maximum number of potential customers with the minimum of waste.\n\nIf this Direct Contact could be established, it would be found that many of these obstacles that today prevent the expansion of our trade with the Chinese were not so insuperable as they now appear; many of them would yield easily to treatment and difficulties would fade away. In brief, Direct Contact would bring first-hand information and knowledge of the Southern Chinese Market to Britain and the Empire.\n\n## UP AND DOING\n\nBritain and the Empire need China as a market and therefore must take the necessary steps to call the attention of the Chinese buyers to what they manufacture and produce in competition with the rest of the world, and must study the needs of these potential customers, and further, it is equally important that the British should buy more from China to enable her to show the British Empire how greatly she has progressed in her production. She needs all the assistance and co-operation that the West can give in strengthening and rebuilding her shattered trade. Why should it not be British co-operation? The British Empire and China Trade Fair will provide the opportunity for each of the two great trading people to apply their great trading and business ability towards the solving of their mutual problems.\n\nWe have in Hong Kong an outpost of British influence and culture set right at the entrance to a wonderfully rich and friendly portion of China. But we must not leave it to Hong Kong to act as our mouthpiece, or to take the initiative in interpreting Young China and the New Britain to each other.\n\nAll that has happened in North China is making it easier for us to form closer connections with the Chinese people through South China. It may be that we have to sit back and watch our markets in North China destroyed—who can say? Are the British going to allow their special standing in the South, the proffered friendship of the Southern Chinese people who know us best, and the accumulated goodwill of years, to go for naught—for lack of the vision to see that Young China is going through the throes of a new birth, and is seeking for all the sympathy and understanding she can find?\n\nIs it not significant that only a month ago the German ambassador to China spent many days visiting the Kwangtung Province? German experts and German goods are found in all the Government's numerous offices and bureaux? Is it not significant that at the beginning of December, the Japanese Foreign Office took steps to establish a Japanese News agency in Canton, for the dissemination of news to the Chinese press and with the professed object \"to pave the way towards Sino-Japanese friendship and co-operation\"?\n\nThe genesis of the British Empire and China Trade Fair was the realisation of facts such as these (said Mrs. Thompson). Having described how the Fair was suggested by her firm, how it gained the support of the Hong Kong Government and had since got influential support in this country, she described the steps that will be taken to bring buyers to the Fair, and continued:\n\nI have had flung at me in Manchester that Lancashire's trade in China has alarmingly diminished. Granted, it is no use playing ostrich and pretending otherwise. Manchester has definitely lost that market for cheap grade textiles, but certainly not for her high-class lines which Japan has not yet taken up—even if Japan did try to get in on high-class textiles, she would not meet with any measure of success with the wealthy and educated classes who will not buy Japanese if they can help it. I propose that Manchester manufacturers take a combined stand at this Fair to sell the better-class Chinese the quality goods she produces, to meet and discuss Manchester problems with these Chinese, extend all possible help to increase China's exports so that there may be more money with which to buy imports.\n\nIn brief, why Manchester should take part in this Trade Fair is not solely for what she can sell from her stand, but to enable her leaders to meet the Chinese leaders, and arrange future dealings on a basis of mutual benefit and particularly to seize the opportunity of coming out and seeing New China of 1936 at first hand.\n\n### APPEAL TO LANCASHIRE\n\nManchester has been told many conflicting things about China, the stories being backed unfortunately by glaring statistics. Figures must, of course, be taken into consideration, but all the same, what is Manchester going to do about it—and how does she propose to deal with these facts? Is she proposing to fold her hands and say, \"Allah's will be done?\" She says she has been told certain conditions exist in China—well and good. Then I urge her to use this Trade Fair for testing for herself the truth of what she has been told, and secondly, for devising means on the spot to cope with the condition of affairs existing today. Our ancestors did not build up their businesses by only listening to what they were told.\n\nThis Trade Fair must be looked upon as a means to an end and not as an end in itself—a vital link in the development scheme.\n\nThis is the first step. Immediately the Fair is closed, when all the visitors have returned to the country and whilst what they have seen and heard is still fresh in their minds, a systematic follow-up publicity campaign should be put into force in the interior of South China where there are ten million potential customers for Western products to be found.\n\nIn conclusion, Mrs. Thompson said: I am convinced that the spirit of British enterprise that our forefathers had in building up our great Empire is in you as well. If after all I have said to you today you are still hesitating to take the necessary step forward, let me tell you as one who has worked for thirteen years amongst the Chinese in every progressive and even primitive town of the interior of South China, introducing well-known British lines, that the potentialities are there to be developed if you will only adopt the right methods.\n\nOn Sir Francis Goodenough's vacating the chair to fulfil another engagement, Mr. A. J. C. Walters (Controller, British Industries House) took the chair, and explained that British Industries House was supporting the Fair in pursuance of its duty to assist manufacturers with any proposition that was likely to assist trade.\n\nAfter Mrs. Thompson had answered a number of questions, Sir Cecil Clementi, former Governor of Hong Kong and of the Straits Settlements, spoke on the necessity of British traders preparing themselves for the Southern Chinese markets. They should learn the requisite Chinese language—not so difficult as might be thought. He was entirely in favour of the Fair, he said, and thought it was overdue. Manufacturers who exhibited would have an entirely friendly welcome and, moreover, an honest deal. It was not only the case, he added, that the Japanese were succeeding in China only with cheap goods, but also with better-class goods, in which British manufacturers should be better able to meet them.\n\nMr. D. W. Tobin then gave (as recorded at the beginning of this report) the happy experience of his firm in selling high-class products in South China.\n\nThe meeting then carried unanimously a resolution to the effect that the Fair is worthy of the sympathetic attention of British manufacturers. Thanks to the chairman and speakers were expressed by Mr. Donnelly (British Celanese).",

        "content_text": "## SALARIES DEBATE \n### THE DILEMMA \n\n**THE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS & ...**\n\nThe Honourable the Senior Unofficial Member who seconded the motion has been given, in answer to his remarks regarding Government's refusal last autumn to fix exchange forward for its sterling Commitments this year, the reply that he hoped very much would not be given. That is because it is the true and only possible reply. I was not here at the time, but I have read the correspondence and from it emerges very plainly the dilemma in which Government found itself. It was on the one hand, as the Honourable Member expressed it, the trustee of the taxpayer; and it was on the other the Keeper of the public conscience.\n\nThe fact that the advice for fixing exchange forward was tendered unanimously by the Unofficial Members of this Council was proof enough that the proposal was not morally indefensible. But there are matters in which a Government should not allow itself to be placed in a position where a defence of its morality may be even called for. For Government to have fixed exchange forward with an exclusive foreknowledge of relevant future events to be brought about by itself might, I consider, have created a situation in which official scrupulousness could have been questioned; and questionings of that kind might have done the Administration greater injury than it would have reaped financial gain by fixing exchange forward. That is all I have to say on this motion but before putting it to the vote I would ask the Honourable proposer to consider whether his purpose has not been adequately served by this debate; if it has, there is hardly any need to proceed to a division.\n\n**MOTION DEFEATED**\n\nSir Henry Pollock intimated that the Unofficial members desired to leave the Council Chambers to deliberate over the matter, after an absence of ten minutes, the Hon. Mr. M K. Lo addressing His Excellency the Governor, said that while he thanked Colonial Secretary and Dr. Wellington for their comprehensive statements, he was not convinced Government had taken steps in retrenchment.\n\nIt was impossible for him to reply at a moment's notice, but he felt that he had the support of the Unofficial members on this point. Mr. Lo said that he was particularly grateful for what His Excellency had said and the manner in which he had taken the motion. That the Civil Service was overstaffed was not only his opinion, but that of the general public. In addition it was condemned generally by Civil Servants themselves.\n\nIn view of His Excellency's assurances, he wished to submit that the idea of his motion was to record his view and intimated that he wished the motion to be put to the division. The motion was defeated by nine votes to six.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga abstained from voting. He said that to his mind the statements made by the Government were satisfactory, and the assurance that they would undertake to keep an eye on the problem, met with his approval. Before the vote was taken Sir H. Pollock informed His Excellency that the Unofficial members were in entire agreement with the views expressed.\n\nThe Council meeting then adjourned sine die.\n\n### SIR ROBERT'S PARTY \n#### Farewell To Sir Wm. Shenton \n\nA farewell luncheon party was given by Sir Robert and Lady H Tung on Monday at the Hong Kong Hotel in honour of Sir William Shenton who will shortly be leaving the Colony on retirement with his daughter.\n\nThe following guests attended: The Bishop of Hong Kong, Commodore and Mrs. Sedgwick, The Hon. Sir Thomas Southorn, The Hon. Sir Henry and Lady Pollock, Sir William Hornell, The Hon. Sir Shouson Chow, The Hon. Mr. and Mrs. R.A.C. North, The Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga, Mr. and Mrs. Ho Kom Tong, Hon.

Lo, Mr. and Mrs. G.

Hawkins, to Government House and were greeted by His Excellency the Governor and Lady Caldecott.\n\n## Luncheon Party\n\nA luncheon party was held at Government House in honour of the visitors, but the invitations were confined to those assisting in the organisation of the arrangements for the visit of the officials and to those who were unable to attend the banquet held at night.\n\nThose present at the luncheon were:\n\n| Name | Title/Relation |\n| --- | --- |\n| His Excellency the Governor and Lady Caldecott |  |\n| H.E.

The effort of the Chinese in giving so large a donation is the more appreciated considering the current trade depression in this part of the world.\"\n\nReferring to improvements to the municipal administration of Kwangtung, the Mayor said that the chief evils of opium smoking and gambling are being suppressed by the efforts of the new government. Other problems which will come to the immediate attention of the Government are education, public health and road construction. Meanwhile the authorities will endeavour to preserve order and peace in all parts of the province. Economic developments in various fields will be pushed ahead to the utmost in relation to the ability and financial position of the officials.\n\nAll developments which have bearing on the prosperity of Canton and Hongkong will be particularly attended to.\n\n\"I hope that in this connection the Chinese in Kwangtung will have the full co-operation of the Chinese in Hongkong. The Canton Government is very willing to receive constructive advice from the Hongkong and overseas Chinese and from the Press.\"\n\n## VISIT TO RESERVOIR\n\n### Governor and Canton Guests At Shing Mun\n\nIn the afternoon, His Excellency the Governor and Lady Caldecott accompanied the distinguished guests on a motor-car journey to Shing Mun, where the party was received and entertained by Mr. G. B. Gifford Hull and shown round the Jubilee Reservoir.\n\nSpecial traffic arrangements had been made to suit the party's convenience, and Inspectors Chester Wood and F. E. E. Booker were in charge of a squad of police and detectives.\n\nAt 4.45 p.m. eleven cars brought the party to where tea tables had been laid out on a lawn overlooking the big dam. Mr. Gifford Hull greeted the party, who comprised, besides Sir Andrew and Lady Caldecott, His Excellency General Huang Mu-sung, His Excellency Mr. Tseng Yang-fu, and Mrs. Tseng Yang-fu, Dr. Philip Tyau, the Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall, Mr. H. R. Phillips and Miss Phillips, General Gaston Wong, Col. Li Fong, and others.\n\nFollowing tea, Mr. Gifford Hull conducted the party to the dam wall, where the visitors were most interested in the colossal reservoir scheme and the plant which is still completing the job.\n\nCars then conveyed the party to the foot of the steps leading to Mr. Gifford Hull's bungalow, where cocktails were taken. As the party was leaving after a most enjoyable visit, flood lights which had been placed to light up the dam face were switched on, creating an excellent effect which has not hitherto been attempted. The party returned by car.\n\n## BANQUET AT NIGHT\n\n### Hongkong-Canton Amity Stressed in Speeches\n\nAN INTIMATE NOTE\n\nA brilliant description of the visit that he and Lady Caldecott had paid to Canton, and reference to the great hospitality received there, was given by His Excellency the Governor, Sir Andrew Caldecott, at a banquet in honour of the distinguished visitors at Government House last night.\n\nIn proposing the toast to the visitors, Sir Andrew spoke of the friendly relations between Hongkong and Canton. Other toasts honoured were \"The Republic of China,\" proposed by the Governor, \"The King\" proposed by General Huang Mu-sung, \"Canton,\" proposed by the Governor, and \"Hongkong,\" proposed by Mr. Tseng Yang-fu.\n\nIn proposing the toast to visitors, Sir Andrew said: \"I must ask your permission to introduce the toast of 'Our Distinguished Visitors' on an intimate rather than an official note, because I want to say how personally delighted my wife and I are to be able to reciprocate, albeit inadequately and imperfectly, the wonderful welcome and princely hospitality which we received on our recent visit to Canton. We can never forget the incidents of those two days: that evening meeting with the Generalissimo and his charming and gracious consort at Whampoa, when the magic sluices of the sunset let loose on land and river such a flood of gold that the very earth and sky seemed to reflect the rich warmth of their kindly reception of us.\n\nAnd then came that moonlit journey up the river by launch until the great city of Canton rose up on either side of us in tiers of coloured light and shade; high junks towered against the stars in patches of dark silence, while all around the water teemed with the sleepless traffic of smaller craft.\n\nThe next morning saw us at the splendid University of Chungshan where Learning dwells, not cramped by the confines of city tenements, but crowned by the hills and sky in a spacious country seat of broad acres and lordly halls. Nor can anybody who has once seen them ever forget the triumph of modern Chinese architecture in the stately Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall or the elegance of the Municipal Building in which our guests of this evening entertained me at lunch in true gargantuan style.\n\nAnd finally, as though this treasure store for the memory were not a sufficient gift to their visitors, our hosts presented us at parting with ornaments of exquisitely chased rare Chinese craftsmanship in ivory and metal, which I invite you all to see for yourselves in the drawing-room after dinner.\n\n\"Abiding Friendship\"\n\nBut what my wife and I treasured most of all was the conviction that we carried away with us not only these beautiful memories and souvenirs but the abiding friendship of our hosts; and so it was that we were emboldened to greet them this morning as already old friends, and we are especially delighted that His Honour the Mayor, who was unfortunately indisposed at the time of our visit, is thoroughly restored to health and able, together with his charming lady, to grace our board this evening.\n\nThe greatest of philosophers has placed the good things of life in three categories: those that are good in themselves, those that are good by reason of their results, and those that are good both in themselves and in their results. Friendship, Ladies and Gentlemen, is in the third category. The need for co-operation between Canton and Hongkong is, thank God, so universally recognized by all of us in this Colony that there is no need for me to repeat here last to-night what I said at the session of our Legislative Council.\n\nMutual Understanding\n\nBut you cannot have co-operation without mutual understanding, and one's first duty to one's neighbour is to get to know him and his needs and to let him get to know you and yours. This process requires, just as all physical processes require, suitable conditions of temperature and atmosphere; the essential psychological condition for the establishment of mutual understanding, and thereby of co-operation, is, believe me, a friendship. And therefore I pray and hope and trust that, whatever faults or imperfections there may have been in the organisation or...",

The facts contained in these two declarations have been confirmed. In the second paragraph of the despatch the step-father of Mr. Lowing is called Chow King, and is said to have been a member of the Hong Kong Police Force. Records in the Police Department confirm that the second husband of Tsang Koon Tse, called Tsau Hing joined the Police Force on the 11th of October, 1887, and retired on pension on the 11th of October, 1907. I am satisfied that the apparent discrepancy in the spelling of the names is merely a variant in the romanization of identical Chinese characters and does not detract from the value of the declarations.\n\n3. In the course of the investigations Tsang Koon Tse produced letters and two postmarked envelopes from Eva Lowing and A.

(Missing text indicator not needed as the numbering starts from 2)\n\n2. The minutes of the last meeting were confirmed, subject to verbal amendments.\n\n3. Date of next meeting. The date of the next meeting was fixed for Thursday, 18th March, and that of the following meeting was provisionally fixed for Thursday, 22nd April.\n\n4. Secretary's Notices.\n\nMR. MAYHEW reported the following:-\n\n(a) As a result of a visit recently paid to Jamaica by Mrs. Neville Rolfe, Secretary-General of the British Social Hygiene Council, arrangements were being made, with the approval of the Governor of Jamaica, for Mr. Lee, Educational Officer of the Council, to pay a short visit to Jamaica in order to lecture to teachers on the teaching of biology and hygiene and to advise in the framing of school courses in these subjects.\n\n(b) A report had been received from the President of the John F. Slater Fund, U.S.A., of a visit that he paid to British Guiana on the invitation of the then Governor, Sir Edward Denham, to visit the schools, meet the teachers and consult with them as to the possible introduction of Jeanes School work into the Colony. The visit was made possible by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation, U.S.A. A copy of the report would be circulated during the meeting and a few spare copies were available for members who might wish to have one.\n\n(c) University of Hong Kong: The Governor of Hong Kong, taking into account the present financial position of the University and the annual government grant of $350,000 to that University, had appointed a Committee of Inquiry (1) to investigate the present, and probable future, financial position of the Hong Kong University, and to advise whether any changes were desirable in its staffing, personnel, salary scales and organization; (2) to enquire and advise if any such, or other, changes were desirable in the interest of its utility or prestige; (3) to tender any other advice or suggestions for the future of the University.\n\nThe Governor was of opinion that the peculiar local conditions and circumstances made it necessary in the first instance to appoint a local Committee and to consider its findings before considering the expensive proposition of obtaining expert outside opinion. The Committee consisted of the Colonial Secretary, the Honourable Sir Shouson Chow (Senior Chinese Member of Council), Mr. J. R. Masson (member of the firm of Messrs. Butterfield and Swire) and the Honorary Treasurer of the University.\n\n5. Missionary Work in the Copperbelt of Northern Rhodesia. MR. MAYHEW drew attention to a Memorandum prepared by Dr. Oldham on this subject which had been circulated to the Committee for information. (`A.C.E.C. 17/37`.) THE CHAIRMAN, welcoming the Bishop of Northern Rhodesia on behalf of the Committee, said that he was sure that members would like to hear more from the Bishop regarding the plans described in the memorandum.\n\nTHE BISHOP, referring to the proposed co-operation of Missions in this work said that it would be necessary for the U.M.C.A., while gladly co-operating in educational and welfare work, to maintain its separate ecclesiastical work. The Roman Catholics and the Dutch Reformed Church Mission had found it necessary to stand out of the scheme altogether.\n\nPage 57  \nPage 60  \nPage 61",

        "content_text": "# Speech of Sir William Hornell, Kt., C.I.E., LL.D., M.A. (Oxford), Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong\n139\n\nNineteen hundred and thirty-six has been a year of tragedy and mourning, and the University has had its share of unhappiness. We lost Mr. Wong Kwong-tin and Mr. Kwok Siu-lau. Both were staunch supporters of the University, and to the latter we owe the Biological Department.\n\nOn the 1st April, Maurice Alfred Cooper died. As Lecturer in Commerce and indeed generally as a member of the University Staff, and for a time the Warden of a University Hostel, Cooper did devoted work. His untimely death was a severe shock to us all. Those who came into contact with Cooper will not forget him.\n\nOn the 2nd November, there passed the Rev. Father Daniel John Finn of the Society of Jesus. Father Finn was the University's Lecturer in Geography. But to the University and to the Colony, he was far more than this. His investigations into the prehistorical and proto-historical remains of Hong Kong and its Islands, as set forth in his published articles, and expounded by him to the recent World Conference at Oslo, have put this Colony prominently on to the map of the World's earliest records. There died a genius, but withal, a man of profound humility and great charm—a Christian scholar and gentleman.\n\nMr. W. H. Bell retired and left the Colony. He was a member of the University Court for many years, and always the University's generous friend.\n\nOn New Year's day, Sir Grafton Elliot Smith died in London. As Head of the Department of Anatomy of University College, London, Sir Grafton helped this University in many ways. I take this opportunity of recording the University's grateful tribute to the memory of a great scientist to whose kindly interest and encouragement many an anatomist owes his career.\n\nTo the Chair of Anatomy, which was rendered vacant by the retirement of Professor J. L. Shellshear, Dr. Louis Rudall Shore, M.C. has been elected. To the junior lectureship in English—held until last September by Mr. A. B. Reynolds—the Council has appointed Mr. Keith William Salter. Professor Shore comes from the Anatomy School of Cambridge; Mr. Salter from the University of Bristol. Dr. and Mrs. Shore, and Mr. Salter, are going to be happy here; they are the sort of people who know how to be happy. Each one of them is, moreover, going to be a success not only in the University but also in the Colony. I do not often prophesy; here I dare assert.\n\nMr. Reynolds (who also came from the University of Bristol) did excellent work here. He deserves to do well and I am sure that he will.\n\nOur Chinese Staff was further strengthened last year by the appointment to it as Lecturer of Mr. Ma Kiam, M.A. of Columbia University. Mr. Ma Kiam has taught in the Peiping Union Medical College.",

In connection with finances, he said that he had decided to appoint a small Committee to investigate the financial position of the University, to enquire whether any changes are advisable in staffing, personnel, or salary scales, and to tender any other advice or suggestion for the future of the University.\n\n### Staff Personalities\n\nOn December 21, 1936, the enrolment was 412—139 in the Faculty of Medicine; 133 in the Faculty of Engineering, and 140 in the Faculty of Arts. Three hundred and forty-eight of these students were Chinese. In 1921 there was one woman undergraduate; to-day there are 76. I have once again to pay to the students my grateful tribute for their loyalty, discipline, and for the goodfellowship which prevails not only amongst themselves but between them and their teachers. The cynical might learn much from a visit to the night school which is conducted by the students.\n\nIn the Boxer Indemnity Scholarship Examination held early last year, two of our graduates appeared, and each won a scholarship. Miss Lai Po Kan came first in a competitive examination in Chinese and English Philology, and she is now reading in Oxford for the honours school English language and literature. Forty-five candidates sat for the scholarship examination. The other winner was Dr. Woo Kai-fun; his subject being pathology. He is now working in London. The Boxer Scholarship Examination was first held in 1934. Our record is four competitors and four winners.\n\n### Students Abroad\n\nDr. H. C. Ku, who won a Boxer Scholarship in 1934, has been elected a Fellow of the Edinburgh Royal College of Surgeons. Dr. Lee Hah-liong and Dr. Lim Gim-kheang (medical graduates of ours) have gained respectively the London Diploma in Child Health and the London Diploma of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Miss Irene Ho has secured the London University Doctorate in Philosophy. Mr. Donald Anderson now holds the London University degree of Bachelor of Laws. Mr. E. B. Ahmed and Mr. Eric Wong Tape have qualified to be Associate members of the Institute of Civil Engineers, the former being top of the list of those who were successful at the examination qualifying for membership. Mr. Gan Kee-poon has been awarded the Diploma of the Imperial College, London. Mr. W. J. C. Fletcher has won the Parsons Memorial Prize—a prize awarded to the best apprentice by Messrs. C. A. Parsons & Co. Ltd., Newcastle-on-Tyne, in whose works Mr. Fletcher is working as an apprentice.\n\nTo the Chair of Anatomy, which was rendered vacant by the retirement of Professor J. L. Shellshear, Dr. Louis R. Shore has been elected. To the junior lectureship in English—held until last September by Mr. A. B. Reynolds—the Council has appointed Mr. Keith William Salter. Professor Shore comes from the Anatomy School of Cambridge; Mr. Salter during his career from the University of Bristol.\n\nOn New Year's day, Sir Grafton Elliot Smith died in London. As Head of the Department of Anatomy of University College, London, Sir Grafton helped this University in many ways. I take this opportunity of recording the University's grateful tribute to the memory of a great scientist to whose kindly interest and encouragement many an anatomist owes his career.\n\nPaying a tribute to Sir William Hornell, Sir Andrew Caldecott said he declined to conclude his speech with the word \"Goodbye,\" as had been the tribute to a great Vice-Chancellor, but would merely say, \"Thank you.\"\n\nSir William Hornell in his address drew attention to the successes which had been achieved by sons and daughters of the Alma Mater during the past year, and the brilliant work done by Professor Ride, whose work on human physiology and pathology had won for him the right to supplicate for the University of Oxford's degree of Doctor of Medicine.\n\nSir William also mourned the losses suffered by the University during the year, by the death of a number of its supporters and brilliant graduates, and drew attention to the distressing lack of playing fields for the undergraduates and the lack of a real connecting link between this university and English universities.\n\nTea was served in the University grounds from 3:45 p.m., and at 5 p.m. the Procession, including members of the Court, Council, Senate, and Faculties of the University, entered the Great Hall, and the members took their places on the dais.\n\nMr. Shore, and Mr. Salter, are going to be happy here—they are the sort of people who know how to be happy. Each one of them is, moreover, going to be a success not only in the University but also in the Colony. I do not often prophesy; here I dare assert.\n\nMr. Reynolds (who also came from the University of Bristol) did excellent work here. He deserves to do well and I am sure that he will.\n\nOur Chinese Staff was further strengthened last year by the appointment to it as Lecturer of Mr. Ma Kiam, M.A., of Columbia University. Mr. Ma Kiam has taught in the Peiping Union Medical College and he came to us from the Yenching University where he was Professor of Chinese. Mr. Ma Kiam's reputation as a scholar and teacher stood high in Peiping.\n\nThe Procession was led by H.E. Sir Andrew Caldecott, the Chancellor; followed by the Mace Bearer, Mr. I. Day, the Vice-Chancellor, Sir William Hornell, and the following: Treasurer and Dean, Faculty of Medicine; Dean, Faculty of Engineering, Dean, Faculty of Arts; H.E. Major-General A. W. Bartholomew, the Registrar; H.H. Sir Atholl MacGregor, Hon. Mr. N. L. Smith; The Rt. Rev. Bishop R. O. Hall, The Rt. Rev. Bishop Valtorta; Hon. Mr. C. G. Alabaster, Hon. Mr. R. A. C. North; Hon. Mr. Edwin Taylor, Hon. R. M. Henderson; Hon. Sir Henry Pollock, Hon. Sir Shouson Chow; Hon. Dr. A. R. Wellington, Hon. Mr. S. H. Dodwell; Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga, Hon. Mr. Ts'o Seen-wan; Hon. Com. G. F. Hole, R.N., (Retd.), Hon. Mr. Chau Tsun-nin; Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall, Hon. Mr. T. H. King; Hon. Mr. Lo Man-kam, Hon. Mr. A. W. Hughes; Mr. Eu Tong-sen, Mr. Mok Kon-sang; Mr. Ho Kom Tong, Professor C. A. M. Smith; Professor K. H. Digby, Professor G. T. Byrne; Professor F. A. Redmond, Professor L. Forster; Professor W. L. Gerrard; Professor W. C. W. Nixon, Professor L. R.

Herklots, Dr. Li Shu-fan; Mr. D. W. Morley, Mr. B. G. Birch; Mr. D. F. Davies, Mr. A. H. Fenwick; Mrs. M. Ring, Mr. R. A. Hill; Mr. K. W. Salter, Dr. D. J. Valentine; Mr. Chan Kwan-po, Mr. A. H. Paterson; Mr. S. V. Boxer, Mr. Ma Kiam; Dr. J. S. Guzdar, Miss Baxter; Father B. C. Kelly, S.J., Rev. G. K. Carpenter.\n\nWhile the Procession entered the Great Hall, the Band of the 2nd Battalion, The East Lancashire Regiment, played the Processional March.\n\nWhen all the members had taken their places on the dais, the Chancellor declared the Congregation open, and the Vice-Chancellor delivered his address. Sir William said:\n\nNineteen hundred and thirty-six has been a year of tragedy and mourning, and the University has had its share of unhappiness. We lost Mr. Wong Kwong-tin and Mr. Kwok Siu-lau. Both were staunch supporters of the University, and to the latter we owe the Biological Department.\n\nOn April 1, Maurice Alfred Cooper died. As Lecturer in Commerce and indeed generally as a member of the University Staff and for a time the Warden of a University Hostel, Cooper did devoted work. His untimely death was a severe shock to us all. Those who came into contact with Cooper will not forget him.\n\n### Dr. Ride's Success\n\nMention has already been made of the visit which the University's Professor of Physiology, Dr. Ride, made in 1931 and 1932 to Borneo in connection with his genetic researches. In 1933 the University granted Professor Ride study leave, and the Rockefeller Foundation asked him to tour America and to report on the present study of genetics and heredity with special reference to their application to problems of human physiology and pathology.\n\nThe thesis which Professor Ride wrote has been accepted by the University of Oxford and, in the language of that ancient institution, he may now supplicate for the University's degree of Doctor of Medicine.\n\nIn 1927 there were 292 students on the University's roll. On October...\n\n...some millions of dollars to bequeath (this, I regret to say, is pure hypothesis and not a prospect) I should certainly want to know two things; whether the institution which I selected for endowment was...\n\n(Continued on Page 9.)",

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG UNIVERSITY \n\n(Continued from Page 8.)\n\nThe endowment was being run in a sound, economical, and businesslike manner, and whether the most was being made of its public utility. Now it is because I have had doubts expressed to me by responsible persons on both these points as regards this University, because also its present finances afford room for considerable concern, and chiefly because the Colonial Government is now contributing to them annually a sum of no less than three hundred and fifty thousand dollars that I have decided, as Governor and with the full approval of my Executive Council, to appoint a small committee of inquiry.\n\n## Committee of Inquiry\n\nI to investigate the present, and probable future, financial position of the Hongkong University and to advise whether any changes are desirable in its staffing, personnel, salary scales, or organization;\n\nII: to enquire and advise whether any such, or other, changes are desirable in the interest of its utility or prestige;\n\nIII: to tender any other advice or suggestions for the future of the University.\n\nI have heard the suggestion made that we ought to get an expert out from home for this investigation, but I feel certain myself that our local conditions and circumstances are so peculiar to ourselves that the first thing at any rate, to do is to bring good, clear local brains to bear on the problem and to have their summing up of the position and their advice regarding it before we consider the expensive proposition of obtaining outside opinion which, however expert on the subject of University organization, would not be expert in regard to the special circumstances and requirements of the Far East.\n\nThe gentlemen who will be invited to serve on the Committee will be the Honourable Mr. N. L. Smith, Colonial Secretary, the Honourable Sir Shouson Chow, Mr. J. R. Masson, and Mr. A. Morse, Honorary Treasurer of the University. The membership is small, because I do not believe in unwieldy committees, but the committee will take the evidence of all who respond to its invitation or volunteer to appear before it.\n\n## Scholarships\n\nThe scholarships awarded were:\n| Scholarship | Recipient |\n| --- | --- |\n| The Ng Li-hing Medical Scholarship | divided between S. Bard and V. N. Vargassoff |\n| The Ho Fook and Chan Kai-ming First Medical Scholarship | V. N. Vargassoff |\n| The Ho Fook and Chan Kai-ming Second Medical Scholarship | For May 1936, Wu Hung-tak; For December, Cheng See-yan |\n| The Anderson Scholarship for 1936 | Cheng See-yan |\n| The Chan Kai-ming Engineering Scholarship | Chan Bing-hung |\n| The Chan Kai-ming Arts Scholarship | Li Shi-yi |\n\n## Congregation Details\n\nThe Great Hall was filled to capacity with invited guests and friends and relatives of those who were receiving degrees. Among those present not on the dais were Lady Caldecott, Captain W. J. R. Cragg, A.D.C. to His Excellency, Mr. Secretary to His Excellency; H. E. H. J. Cruttwell, Private Secretary to His Excellency; Vice Admiral Sir Charles Little, and Lady Little, H. E. Maj.-Gen. A. W. Bartholomew and Mrs. Bartholomew; and Rear Admiral C. G. Sedgwick.\n\nWhile tea was being served in the grounds, the Band of the 2nd Battalion, The East Lancashire Battalion, played selections. The programme included: \"March of the Peers\" from \"Iolanthe\", Sullivan; \"The Merry Widow\", Lehar; Selection from the Musical Play; Valse, \"Amorettan Tanze\" Gung'l; Entr'cte, \"Humcresque\", Dvorak; Selection, \"Merrie England\", German.\n\n## SIR WILLIAM HORNELL\n\nSir William Hornell, who has been Vice-Chancellor of the University since 1924, was formerly in the Indian Educational Service. A son of the late Mr. Robert Hornell, Barrister-at-law of the Inner Temple, he was born in 1878 and educated at Radley School and Trinity College, Oxford, where he graduated Master of Arts. In 1901, he entered the Indian Educational Service, and the following year was appointed Professor of English at the Presidency College, Calcutta. Transferred to Bengal, he rose there to be Director of Public Instruction. For some years, he was attached to the Board of Education, Whitehall. In 1918, he was honoured with the C.I.E., and in 1933, he was created a Knight Bachelor. In 1931, he was presented with an honorary degree of Doctor of Law by the Hongkong University.\n\nFor twelve years, he has been building on its foundations and without any edifice of bricks and mortar but the lives and careers of hundreds of young men and women. He has made himself extremely popular in the Colony, and has associated himself with many local organisations. He has confessed to a sense of frustration: He was largely instrumental in securing for the University a share in the Boxer Indemnity Fund.\n\nNobody realises defects in foundation, in lay-out, or in materials more than the master-builder, and the appointment of my small committee will provide the opportunity for the master-builder to come forward and advise as an architectural consultant for the University's future.\n\nSir William has confessed also to a sense of isolation. So far as contact with the British Universities is at present lacking or ineffective, I am bold to prophesy that, when he is back home, Sir William will personally achieve a proper and effectual liaison. He will be, I am confident, this University's apostle to England. But as regards the loss which his departure will spell for us in Hongkong, I can find no words of comfort at all. It is, alas, proverbial that great men leave great gaps. Sir William Hornell has been not only a great Vice-Chancellor but a very human one, so that the gap which he leaves will be a gap not only in the list of Hongkong's distinguished residents but in that innermost circle of public friends which the Colony has taken warmly and gratefully to its heart.\n\nHe ended his address to us this afternoon with the sad word \"Goodbye\"; I refuse now to anticipate our parting with him by returning that salutation but, at this, his last Congregation, and on behalf of all present, I will conclude my remarks by addressing to him two words, two simple little words which can nevertheless be charged with all our infinity of obligation, admiration, and affection towards him--Thank you, Sir William.\n\n## The Graduates\n\nThe following received the degree of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery:\n- Cheng See-yan\n- Miss C. Wong\n- Lee Hua-ngak\n- L. Gosano\n- Teng Pin-hui\n- Szeto Eng-kee\n- Ong Ewe-hin\n- Kho Pek-po\n- Kong Sau-yui\n- P. R. T.

No, Japan, you can \"fool all of the people some of the time\" but even those who are not aware of the brazen falsehoods spread by the Japanese propagandists in their effort to win some sympathy from the civilised world in their undeclared war against China, feel constrained to express indignation at the latest effort by their Navy Department, namely their plea of innocence in regard to the bombing, by Navy planes, of open towns and cities which resulted, as we already know, in the deaths of thousands of civilians.\n\nWe are indignant because it is such an insult to our intelligence for the Navy Department at Tokyo even to hope, for a moment, that we would swallow every statement they make. The Japanese naval authorities strongly resent the criticism levelled by some Powers and the League Advisory Committee against the air raids, contending that these criticisms are not based on sure ground. Fools in the world refuse to be fooled all of the time, in spite of the fact that your Navy Department \"hopes that the outside world will place confidence in the good faith of the Japanese Navy and show itself proof against reports of this kind.\"\n\nWhile the powers-that-be in Tokyo are busy, dividing their time between sending troops to North China, devising 'more effective' ways and means of subduing a nation that is fighting gallantly to protect its territorial sovereignty, and denying \"malicious reports,\" Japanese propagandists are less busy trying to \"take in\" the world with their cunningly worded statements. For instance, one went so far as to say that \"in raiding their objectives Japanese planes dive low, and in the face of heavy anti-aircraft fire, in order to ensure that their bombs hit their marks and nothing else.\" The reply to this is, if the Japanese planes did fly low at all, the purpose was to make doubly certain that their bombs and machine-guns would miss nothing, not even innocent civilians, women, and children.\n\nReports and photographs published in our columns during the past few weeks, all obtained from authentic sources, showed what havoc amongst the civilians these air raids had wrought in other open cities. Thousands have been rendered homeless as the direct result of these unprovoked and barbarous assaults on a defenceless people, and yet the Navy Department in Tokyo has the brazen effrontery to protest against the criticism made against the despicable methods adopted by their air force.\n\nThe Japanese sea lords then go one better. They have formally and emphatically denied the report in the foreign Press to the effect that many Chinese fishing boats were recently sunk by Japanese submarines in South China waters. How can this be when the Japanese Navy is constantly under orders not to attack defenceless craft? It is a protest that is so vigorous and so persistent that it is calculated to inspire nothing more helpful to Japan than resentment and suspicion.\n\n## THE DRUG TRAFFIC\n\nThose sections of the Report of the Fifth Committee of the League of Nations on the traffic in narcotics, laid before the Assembly at the end of September, which deal with the clandestine production of opium and similar drugs, make highly disagreeable reading for all Governments which are alive to the dangers of the illicit importation of great quantities of cheap narcotics from what are now the chief centres of their production. These centres, beyond any question, are Manchukuo and those parts of Northern China where Chinese authority had been undermined by the Japanese before the outbreak of hostilities.\n\nThe drugs are manufactured in the Japanese concession in Mukden and in Dairen but bear marks of Chinese origin. The Japanese laws do not allow the export of drugs from or through Japan or Korea; those therefore which are exported to America, Europe, and other regions are shipped nominally from Chinese ports.\n\nThe danger to other countries if this vast production of narcotics is allowed to continue unchecked need hardly be emphasized, and an offensive on a large scale is required unless the good work of the League of Nations is to be undone and the world is to be poisoned.\n\nThe contrast between the attitude of China and Japan towards the sale of narcotics is remarkable. In most provinces, China is taking drastic measures, even including the death penalty, against the vendors of opium, and there have been cases of the execution of addicts. In Manchukuo, on the contrary, the traffic in drugs is an open business, conducted under the auspices of the Government's opium monopoly. In Northern China, Tientsin has been the centre of a vast distributive trade conducted under Japanese official protection.\n\nThe comparison speaks for itself. All that need be said here is that it is disquieting to learn that a nation which still professes its desire to regenerate the Far East by its example should be so blind to the moral and physical damage which is being wrought under its aegis.\n\nThe Chinese, whether of Northern China or of Manchukuo, have been and still are the principal sufferers from this deplorable state of affairs. But there are limits to their absorptive capacity, for the drug habit sooner or later impoverishes its victims and a large-scale production of narcotics requires an expanding market. Here lies the danger to other countries. And here too lies a new danger to the prestige of Japan, which has already been gravely impaired by the ruthless violence of its militarists. No Government, however powerful, can afford to incur the suspicion that it encourages the development of the most disreputable of industries on an unprecedented scale.\n\n(Continued from page 606)\n\n## DONATIONS\n\nThe Director of Ambulance has the honour to acknowledge with grateful appreciation and thanks the receipt of the following donations:\n- $100.00 from Messrs.

Mr. Stanley Dollar, a typical American university graduate, is on a round trip in the President Hoover which leaves Hong Kong to-day for the United States. He is a member of the Dollar Steamship Lines and does not intend to go in for politics. Ships, shipping, and the sea is in his blood, he says.\n\nMr. Dollar discussed the situation as affecting the United States quite freely. There was no doubt, he said, that trade was hit, and shipping even worse, by the Sino-Japanese hostilities and there was a rising tide of sympathy with the Chinese people all over America.\n\n\"But the American people,\" he continued, \"are, as a nation, totally against war so far as America is concerned, and I do not think they will take any sides in this war.\"\n\n### UNTIL OTHERS DRAGGED IN\n\nAs an afterthought, however, Mr. Dollar added these significant words: \"At any rate not unless and until others have been drawn into it.\"\n\n\"But do you not think a policy of isolationism is quite incompatible with the present order of things in this world? Aviation, wireless telephony, and other modern inventions—what one might call twentieth century progress—have made the world so much smaller that the nations are so inter-dependent and inter-connected that it has surely become impossible for any one of them to be disinterested in the others, at any rate among the great powers?\" asked the pressman.\n\n\"America will stay out of trouble and do her very utmost to prevent trouble elsewhere as long as she can,\" replied Mr. Dollar, \"but if anybody expects her to rush into this Far Eastern trouble as an active participant he is mistaken. The Americans feel they had enough of war the last time and they will not be dragged into another one easily. They are a peace-loving people and the great masses of the United States do not know and do not, I dare say, care to delve into the intricacies of international politics. But, of course, they are a very emotional people.\"\n\n### AMERICA NOT BOUND\n\nAs an example of this line of thought Mr. Dollar cited President Roosevelt's famous Chicago speech and said that the speech had not by any means created a favourable impression in the United States in so far as it tended to convey the impression abroad that America was committed to any line of action. On this score, it had been very strenuously criticised in the United States.\n\nWith regard to conditions in the United States, Mr. Dollar said there had been a distinct decline in trade of recent months but the country was certainly sharing in the general prosperity since the inception of the arms race a few years ago.\n\nOpinion in America, he thought, while being against war, was fully alive to the necessity of being adequately armed, in a world armed to the teeth, purely for defensive purposes. To this extent, the navy appropriations, huge as they have been, had not met with very great opposition, but it was not to be expected that America would go all out to create a record in the armaments race.",

        "content_text": "# 608\n\n## RELIGION AND SCIENCE\n\nDr. Jones Addresses Rotarians\n\nDr. Stanley-Jones, the world-renowned evangelist, gave an inspiring address to Hong Kong Rotarians at their weekly luncheon meeting on Oct. 19 at the Hong Kong Hotel, at which Major Walker, President of the Club, was in the chair.\n\nDr. Jones took as his subject \"A Judgment Hour in History.\" He said that at various times in history, the feeling that a change in the affairs of the human race was coming, a feeling that a period of transition was at hand, had been evident. But nobody living today could look upon these present times without feeling that this period was particularly so. And particularly was this so in regard to religion.\n\nAt such a time, what had religion to say? asked Dr. Jones. Was it to retreat behind its Cathedrals and Churches and let the tragedy go on? That would amount to abdication. There were the great forces of Fascism and Communism contending against each other. The alternative was the doctrine of the Kingdom of God in the nature of an order against man's system.\n\nSpeaking of science in the light of religion, Dr. Jones said there was no clash between the two because they realised their own province. But behind the doctrine of science, they had to have religion and the spirit of religion. If the two were put together, he thought, they could remake the earth. He thought religion was giving that spirit to science and that science was thereby getting the power of religion. It was essential that the two must come together.\n\nRotarian Ingram proposed a vote of thanks to the speaker.\n\n## Talk On Discipline And Conduct\n\nAt the St. Andrew's Church Hall on Oct. 19, a large assembly listened to an enlightening talk by Dr. E. Stanley Jones. It was one of a series of lectures and discussions which the eminent preacher and author is conducting during his visit.\n\nDr. Jones spoke of the need of discipline in life and conduct. Discipline did not restrict a man, said the speaker; it taught him the path to real freedom. A man who knew not the fundamentals of music and who sat down to play at random on the piano would make chaos, but the musician who first disciplined himself in the rules could later find creative freedom in his art.\n\nSpiritual discipline was vitally necessary: a man without it might be compared to a wayward swamp, whilst he who possessed it was like a river which had course. It was not an easy thing to do, said Mr. Jones, but it was the only way to reach a fuller spiritual life.\n\n## JAPAN\n\n### No More Foreign Films\n\nNo further imports of moving picture films will be allowed this year.\n\nOctober 29, 1937\n\nIn connection with the exchange control, the Department of Finance recently restricted the import of foreign films at the same time notifying the various foreign film companies in Japan that the permission of the Japanese Government is required for imports of films.\n\nRecently the Government summoned representatives of the \"Jisshakai,\" an organization including all the principal foreign film companies in Japan and informed them that in view of the prevailing situation, the Government has decided to prohibit the import of foreign films, except news reels, until the end of the year.\n\nIt is pointed out that as the various companies' stock amounts to over 50 films (foreign), the prohibition will not cause as much inconvenience as might be expected this year. However, the step will render impossible the customary import of \"extravaganza\" films for the New Year.\n\nAs regards the question of imports next year, the Government's policy will depend upon developments in the China affair. At any rate, it is considered certain that at best, the import of foreign films will be considerably restricted in future.\n\nIn this connection, a Shochiku representative told reporters: \"In accordance with national policy, we will have to readjust our methods of disposing of stock. Furthermore, we will have to give more consideration to the release of Japanese pictures.\"\n\n### Cutting State Expenditure\n\nThe Government is to cut down the State expenditure for the current fiscal year either through economies or by postponing various schemes. The matter is now being discussed by the Finance Ministry and the various Departments concerned.\n\nIt is stated that the Finance authorities desire to effect a cut of at least ¥100,000,000 in expenditure. If so, as a natural increase of about ¥100,000,000 in revenue is predicted, there will be a \"surplus\" of ¥200,000,000 in the budget. In other words, it will then be possible to reduce the loan issue by this figure.\n\nThe work of framing the budget estimates for the next fiscal year is being delayed by the China affair. The provisional claims of all Departments were received by the Accountants Bureau only on September 22nd. From next week on, the Finance authorities will interview representatives of all Departments, and receive an explanation of these claims from them.\n\nAlthough the new claims of all Departments, including the Services Departments, amount to a fairly large sum, the Finance authorities are resolved to examine them along the lines fixed at the Cabinet meeting on August 24th, that is to say, to confine approval to claims directly connected with the China affair as far as possible. Even those items already approved will be re-examined and postponed, if not disapproved, if they are not considered imperative from the point of view of national defence. The entire budget will thus be put on a war-time basis.\n\nApropos of the War Expenditure Special Account, the Finance authorities are willing to submit a supplementary budget in the next session of the Diet if necessary.\n\n## PHILIPPINE REVIEW\n\n### Filipinos Wake Up\n\nPresident Quezon, of the Philippines, who for many years has insisted upon the independence and sovereignty of the islands, having attained his end through the passage of the McDuffie-Tydings act, which goes into full force and effect in about nine or 10 years, is now not so anxious to cut the ties with this country and take to the rolling deep of international politics.\n\nHe has begun to doubt the expediency of complete and immediate independence. What he now wants is autonomy under American protection. He wants to have the Filipinos independent, completely self-governing, no longer under any restraint, but at the same time safeguarded by American warships and the moral force of this country. He is against any interference but in favour of plenty of protection.\n\nLong ago, Theodore Roosevelt declared that the two things were incompatible. If the Philippines were to be cut adrift, he rightly insisted, they must row their own canoe. This country could not afford to let them carry on their own affairs without the slightest semblance of control, and at the same time lean upon America for support in every emergency.\n\nMr. Quezon has his wires crossed. He must accept one horn of the dilemma or the other. He cannot achieve complete independence and at the same time claim the rights of a ward. The United States would be guilty of the greatest folly to accept such a situation.\n\nLong ago, those most competent to judge foresaw that the Filipinos could not stand alone, and opposed the bill that was finally passed. Now Senator Tydings, co-author of the measure that granted independence, having visited the islands, expresses the view that it was a mistake to enact the legislation. He believes that the Philippines will become the prey of Japan.\n\n### Aid For Unemployed\n\nThe unemployment council created last week by Pres. Quezon started attacking the problem of how to provide work for Manila's estimated 20,000 jobless as well as for those of other cities, at a meeting at the Bureau of Health offices of Dr. Jose Fabella, chairman.\n\nThe first task faced by the council was to listen patiently to a score of leaders of organizations of jobless expound their views on how to provide work for the unemployed. The meeting assumed the nature of a public hearing during which members of the committee and spokesmen of the unemployed exchanged views on ways and means of meeting the problem.\n\nAfter a two-hour discussion, the council adjourned and will meet thereafter every week until some concrete plans are formulated whereby the government can minimize, if not entirely solve, the social difficulties created by unemployment throughout the country. The views advanced by the leaders of the unemployment associations were more or less haphazard with respect to proposed solutions and, according to Dr. Fabella, did not quite tally with the ideas of the council.\n\nThe leaders of the labourers' organizations naturally wanted work immediately and, if possible, employment of more or less permanent nature.\n\n## LOCAL ESTATES\n\nFrederic Eugene Henri Koch, late of Rue du Dr. Olivier, Ziguinchor in the French Colony of Senegal, who died intestate on June 27, 1924, left a local estate to the value of $3,200. Letters of administration to the estate of the deceased have been granted by the Supreme Court to George Noble Tinson, solicitor, for the use and benefit of Rose Marie Oenise Emiliene Bajac.\n\nLocal estate sworn under $4,500 was left by Wong On, alias On Wo, late of Ashcroft, British Columbia, Canada, who died intestate on December 9, 1936. An application by George Gwinnett Noble Tinson, solicitor, for sealing certified copy of the Order Appointing Administrator of the estate of the deceased has been granted.\n\n## \"WHERE TO STAY IN ENGLAND\"\n\n### LONDON\n\n**RUSKIN MANOR & BESSEMER GRANGE HOTELS**\n\nDENMARK HILL, LONDON, S.E. 5\n\n15 minutes by Bus or Tram to Centre of London.\n\nOwn 40 acres Grounds.

CHILDE FAREWELL RECEPTION\n\nA reception to bid farewell to the Rev. Donald B. Childe and Mrs. Childe, who are proceeding home on leave by the s.s. Carthage, was held at the Sailors' and Soldiers' Home on Oct. 24.\n\nThe Rev. Mr. Childe has been acting as Minister of the English Methodist Church and President of the Sailors' and Soldiers' Home since the departure of the Rev. E. C. H. Tribbeck. He came out to China in 1930 after leaving Handsworth College, and was until early this year stationed at Shiuchow attached to the South China District of the English Methodist Church.\n\nThe Rev. Mr. Childe is being succeeded by the Rev. J. E. Sandbach, who was present at the gathering last night.\n\nIn the course of the evening, a presentation was made to Rev. and Mrs. Childe by Mrs. A. P. Glanville and Mrs. J. H. Gelling, on behalf of the committees and members of the Church and the Home, the presentation taking the form of a leather suitcase and an inscribed mantel clock.\n\n# 609",

        "content_text": "## 622 \n\n### CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT \n\n### MR. H.R.B. HANCOCK AGAIN PRESIDENT \n\n#### Annual Meeting Of Hong Kong Cricket Club \n\nProposed by Mr. T. E. Pearce and seconded by Mr. H. Owen-Hughes, Mr. H. R. B. Hancock was unanimously re-elected President of the Hong Kong Cricket Club at the Annual General Meeting held in the Clubhouse last evening.\n\nThe Committee, comprising, in addition to the President, Messrs. P. M. Hodgson, A. W. Hayward, A. C. I. Bowker, T. E. Pearce, J. R. Collis, V. R. Gordon, H. Owen-Hughes, E. J. R. Mitchell, and G. W. Sewell, were also re-elected en bloc.\n\nMessrs. Linstead and Davis are again to be the Club's auditors at an annual fee of $100.\n\nIn his speech, the Chairman (Mr. H. R. B. Hancock) said:-\n\nGentlemen:- From the accounts before you, you will see that our Profit and Loss account, after allowing for the necessary depreciation, shows a loss of $4,206.30, though actually the loss for the year was $791.44, as there was a small profit last year of $423.01. There was a loss in our working account of $148.56, against a profit last year of $1,229.07, accounted for by a reduction in income of $1,113.71, and an increase in expenditure of $304.43. Subscriptions were down by $561.71. On the debit side, there was a decrease under the heading of Squash Court Expenses of $841.05, and an increase in re-turfing of $705.03. There is not much change in the other items. I regret to see subscriptions down so much. Lately, however, the number of new members has been encouraging.\n\nTurning to the Profit and Loss account, you will notice that our depreciation written off amounts to $3,414.86, as against $3,574.32 last year. Turning to the Balance Sheet, overdue accounts amount to $1,903.28. We have since collected $1,503.25, and the balance is good, whilst against August chits of $2,893.95, since the account was made up, $2,483.67 has been collected, and the remainder is in course of collection.\n\n### CLUB'S FINANCES \n\nThe question of the Club's Finances has for some time past been receiving the earnest attention of your Committee, and your Committee, whilst the position on the whole shows no cause for alarm, has been seeking ways and means whereby we can improve matters and bring the Club back to a paying basis again, which we must do. You may remember I have alluded to this matter for the past two years. The price of drinks, which were far too low, have been put up, and even now are cheaper than at most Clubs, and after considerable thought, your Committee has decided that the Subscription must be raised.\n\nThe proposal, therefore, is to raise this $1.00 per month for playing members and subscribers and to leave the non-playing members as at present, $100.00 per annum. This means that from January 1st next, the subscription for all playing members, including subscribers, will be $3.00 per month, or $36.00 per annum, instead of at present $2.00 per month, with a maximum of $24.00 per annum, and the subscription will be collected monthly, instead of half-yearly as at present, which I am sure members will prefer.\n\n### SPORTS ACTIVITIES \n\nWe had a moderately successful Cricket season, and I am hoping that this year, with the addition of new recruits, we shall have a very successful year. We shall run two teams as usual, and I would appeal to the younger members of the Club to give the Captains of the two sides their keen support.\n\nThe Entries for the Annual Lawn Tennis Tournament were well in advance of the previous year, but I am sorry to say the gate receipts showed a sad falling off, due in some measure to the fact that there were no new outstanding players, and to the absence of our ex-Champion Tsui Wai-pui, also I think in some degree to a too high charge for admission to the stand. The Tennis Sub-Committee have this latter matter in hand, and I think a satisfactory scheme will be formulated before the next tournament takes place. I should like to take this opportunity of congratulating Tsui on representing Hong Kong in the Davis Cup matches in England this year. We have rather a particular interest in him, as his father was for many years a very loyal and valued servant of this Club. We have a new Champion of the Colony, Mr. H. D. Rumjahn, and the Rumjahn cousins once again won the doubles championship of the Colony.\n\n### CRICKET INTERPORT \n\nWe sent a Cricket side to Shanghai last October and lost the match by 217 runs. It was, however, a good game, and much better than the actual result would lead one to believe. Our team thoroughly enjoyed their visit, and our best thanks are due to our friends in the North for the wonderful kindness and hospitality extended to them during their stay in Shanghai.\n\nWe were greatly looking forward to a visit from Shanghai next month, but owing to the unfortunate state of affairs there, it is of course impossible for them to come down. Our sincere sympathy goes out to them in the harrowing experiences they are undergoing, and we can only hope that peace will reign again in the not very distant future.\n\nThere is only one more matter I want to refer to, and that is to thank our Honorary Secretary, Mr. Mackenzie, for all his hard work on the Club's behalf during the past year. I am quite sure all members are deeply sensible of the good work he has done for us, and we are very grateful to him.\n\nMr. Hancock then proposed the adoption of the Report and Accounts. This was seconded by Mr. P. E. Baskett and passed unanimously.\n\nImmediately after the Annual Meeting, an Extraordinary General Meeting was held, at which the proposal for raising the subscription, referred to by the Chairman in his speech, was put to the members present. Proposed by Mr. Hancock and seconded by the Hon. Mr. R. M. Henderson, the motion was carried.\n\nOctober 29, 1937\n\n### H.K. REFEREES ASSOCIATION \n\n#### Half Monthly Meeting \n\nA half-monthly referees' meeting of the Hong Kong Football Association was held at the Gloucester Building last night.\n\nA letter from the Association informing that there would be no reduction in fees was read, after which a general discussion took place.\n\nOctober 29, 1937\n\n### CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT \n\n## 623 \n\n### ITALY AND JAPAN: Clearing Up A Few Points \n\n(To The Editor, \"The Hong Kong Daily Press\")\n\nDear Sir,- News which has appeared lately in the Press and the prominent display given to them in local papers tend to give the impression that Italy is definitely helping Japan, in spite of the official denials given by the Government of Rome, which are always printed in very small types and hidden away in the midst of a multitude of other news.\n\nAs a Chinese, ready to die for my country and its noble cause, but being also a lover of justice, I would like some space in your paper in order to state a few facts which of themselves are refutation of these tendentious news.\n\n(1) On the last celebration of the Double Tenth, the Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek awarded medals and decorations to seven Italians in Nanking. \n(2) Dr. H. H. Kung on his return trip from Europe travelled on the Italian liner Victoria. \n(3) I learn from an official source in H.K. that an Italian bomber of the latest type will soon be delivered to Canton by two Italian aviators. \n(4) The story of Italian aviators in Japanese airplanes at Canton has been discounted as ridiculous even by the conscientious Chinese Press. \n(5) Dr. H. H. Kung, in an interview with a representative of the Central News Agency on Oct. 20th, extended his thanks to Italy as well as to other nations for assistance rendered to China. \n(6) It has been officially denied that Italy intends to withdraw its advisers and aeronautical experts. Over 100 Italian officers are at present in Nanchang building airplanes for the Chinese air-force. I need not point out how all Japanese reports of presumed help given to Japan have, without exception, been officially denied by Rome. Even the latest news from Japanese sources, of course, that Italy will support Japan at the Nine-Power Conference is obviously ridiculous when one reflects that Italy has not yet signified her intention of participating at the conference.\n\nProbably Italy might refuse to apply sanctions against Japan, who supported her in the Abyssinian war, but this would still be far from offering military aid to Japan, as the posters of local newspapers loudly proclaimed a few weeks ago. The sympathy of the Italian people and of all the Italians in China is unquestionably for China, and these malicious news tending to alienate the old ties of friendship between the two nations should always be read with a grain of common sense by those Chinese and foreigners who, loving their country, love also justice and truth.\n\nYours, etc.,  \nLEI CHONG PING.  \nHong Kong, October 21, 1937.\n\n### LEPER MISSION HEAD En Route To Manila \n\nDR. C. L. WONG ENTERTAINED \n\nDr. C. L. Wong, medical superintendent of the National Leprosarium at Shanghai, which is operated by the Chinese Mission to Lepers, was a through passenger for Manila by the liner \"Victoria,\" which left for that port on Saturday night.\n\nDr. Wong was entertained by Mr. Li Chor-chi, the chairman of the local auxiliary of the Mission to Lepers, at the St. Francis Hotel last Friday evening. Those present included Mr. William Yinson Lee, former president and now a member of the board of directors of the Mission, Dr. Sargent of the Kwangchi Hospital, Hangchow, Mrs. Wing-chan, treasurer of the local auxiliary, and others.\n\nThe National Leprosarium at Tszang was undamaged up to three weeks ago, according to Dr. Wong, but as some of the fiercest fighting has been going on in that sector, there is little hope of saving this $120,000 institution.

        "content_text": "626 \n\n## THE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS & \n\n### MEDICAL RELIEF WORK IN CHINA WAR \n\n#### Illuminating Talk By Dr. W.S. Fu \n\nThe Hong Kong Chinese Medical Association were hosts at a reception given at the Chinese Merchants' Club on Oct. 22 in honour of Drs. W. S. Fu and C. Y. Wu, of Shanghai. Dr. Li Shu-pui, president of the Association, welcomed the guests on behalf of his colleagues, and there were also present Dr. Wu Lien-teh, the famous plague prevention expert and Director of the Chinese National Quarantine Service, the Hon. Dr. Li Shu-fan, and Drs. Ma Luk, W. K. Fok, Arthur W. Woo, Chau Wai-cheung, F. I. Tseung, Edward Sun, Eva Ho Tung, S. N. Chau, T. C. Wong, T. Y. Li, S. F. Cheung, Y. K. Wong, L. S. Shin, K. C. Cheng, C. W. Lam, P. I. Chan, K. D. Ling, N. P. Karanjia, K. T. Loke, H. C. Tan, K. F. Ko, Y. Y. Tang, K. C. Cheam, and K. L. Cheung.\n\nThe Chairman said: On behalf of the members of the Association, I take great pleasure in welcoming two well-known doctors here this afternoon.\n\nDr. W. S. Fu, as you know, is the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Chinese Medical Association of Shanghai, but you may also be interested to know that he is also Chairman of the Medical Relief Committee of the Association, of the Medical Supply Committee, Medical Supply Department, of the Shanghai Emergency Medical Relief Committee, and Chairman of the Medical Supply Department of the International Red Cross Committee in Shanghai.\n\nHis experiences in Shanghai will be needed in Hong Kong for guidance in our future work of medical relief amongst soldiers and the civilian population.\n\nDr. C. Y. Wu is no stranger amongst us. A distinguished graduate of the University of Hong Kong, his work on preventive medicine has benefited China a good deal. Now he is staying in Hong Kong to represent Dr. J. Heng Liu of the Ministry of Health and also head of the Chinese Red Cross. While he is here, I am sure we shall do our best to assist him in whatever way he desires. (Applause).\n\n### PRESENT CRISIS \n\nDr. Fu, called upon to address the meeting, gave an illuminating and informative account of medical relief conditions since the beginning of the crisis. He said that the war was thrown upon China all so suddenly that the Shanghai profession found itself quite unprepared to cope with the large number of casualties both amongst soldiers and the civilian population.\n\nThe first few days after the outbreak at Shanghai were days of hard work and feverish activity in the organising of emergency hospitals in the Settlement. They had more or less overcome the initial difficulties when at 4 p.m. on August 14, now generally known as 'Bloody Saturday,' bombs landed near the Palace Hotel and also on Avenue Edward VII. There were over 1,500 civilians wounded, apart from the dead, which number completely filled up the emergency hospitals as well as the regular centres. They certainly had a lot on their hands, and the situation was made worse by the closing of the shops, which made the procuring of medical supplies practically impossible.\n\n#### PLANS FOR RELIEF WORK \n\nSubsequently, members of the profession had got together and made certain plans for the work of relief. The general character of how medical relief was being undertaken in Shanghai since then had been: (1) caring for the wounded soldiers; (2) caring for the wounded civilians; (3) caring for the war refugees; (4) the combating of epidemics; and (5) the collection and distribution of medical supplies.\n\nIn the beginning, it was rather difficult to get the wounded soldiers into the Settlement. They found that only those soldiers wounded in the upper body, that is to say those that could walk, came for treatment; there were wounded soldiers lying in the areas of fighting who could not help themselves, and the Red Cross stretcher teams got them in only after much delay and difficulty.\n\nRelief work was more centralized now, and the task had been made easier.\n\n#### SUFFICIENT DOCTORS \n\nDr. Fu said that there were at present sufficient doctors and surgeons in Shanghai. There was a scheme, however, to send the wounded soldiers to base hospitals away from Shanghai, in which case more Chinese doctors would be required as those in Shanghai would be needed at the base hospitals. In this matter, the foreign doctors in Shanghai had agreed to conduct the relief work in the Settlement to the utmost extent possible.\n\n#### NO SHELL-SHOCK CASE \n\nThe speaker said that it might interest people to know that though the Chinese soldiers suffered sometimes from many things, not one case of shell-shock had yet been reported. The Chinese soldiers, he said, were not afraid of bomb or shell, but they did not like dirty water, mosquitoes, and the food.\n\nThe food problem had been a serious one, and had engaged the attention of the Government as well as those undertaking medical relief. Chinese nutrition experts had now perfected a biscuit, which had been approved by Nanking, 15 of which as constituting the diet for one day would be sufficient to produce over 2000 calories in food value.\n\nGauze and bandages are now being produced by Chinese cotton mills in Shanghai, and in this respect, they were self-sufficient. They were short of ether, alcohol, morphia, and anti-tetanus vaccine, said Dr. Fu.\n\n#### COST OF WORK \n\nGiving an idea of the cost of the relief work, the speaker said that the initial cost of a bed was about $20 and the maintenance was 67 cents per day.\n\nThe problem of medical relief for the refugees was largely being undertaken by the Shanghai Municipal Council Health Department, whose doctors were giving every possible attention to the various refugee camps. A hospital for the care of refugee children had just been opened.\n\nThe Chinese Medical Association was empowered to receive actual medical supplies and donations, said Dr. Fu. A plan had been evolved and approved by the National Government, whereby donors of medical supplies and of money handed in to the Association would be given in return the equivalent of their valuable help in National Salvation Bonds. Hong Kong, he suggested, might start a drive in this way to assist the suffering soldiers and others.\n\n#### ACUTE PROBLEM \n\nDr. Fu emphasized in conclusion that the problem was an acute one, and would become even more so as the war went on, and he appealed to all Chinese in Hong Kong and friends of China to help in the humane work that was being carried on. He also appealed to all Chinese doctors to volunteer their aid. It was, he said, very encouraging to see how much Hong Kong had done in the way of medical relief, but he hoped that greater assistance would be forthcoming.\n\nDr. C. Y. Wu, who is a nephew of Dr. Wu Lien-teh, then recounted his experiences during a train journey to Nanking while Japanese were bombing the country along the railway line.\n\nIt struck him as most impressive that the Chinese soldier today was different from his brother in the past. He met some wounded Cantonese soldiers on the train, and the change in their spirit and discipline was wonderful.\n\n#### FOOD PROBLEM \n\nDr. Wu laid great emphasis on the food problem amongst the refugees. He said that the food now consisted of two bowls of plain rice each day, with perhaps a little salted turnip. This diet prolonged over a long period would produce beri-beri and other diseases, and would be most harmful. He hoped that the biscuit mentioned by Dr. Fu might solve the problem, for they might later, if the war continued indefinitely, have to draw on the refugees to serve as soldiers, and it was therefore essential that they should be fit. He reminded the gathering that amongst other things, clothes for refugees were urgently needed now that winter was approaching. He appealed to all for gifts of clothing, which could be distributed where they were most needed.\n\nNews of three Hong Kong doctors who had volunteered their service was supplied by the Chairman, who said that Drs. S. C. Ho and Li Ho-tien were now with the 4th Route Army (Cantonese) at the front, whilst Dr. L. Sung was with the 23rd Emergency Hospital in Shanghai.\n\nOctober 29, 1937 \n\n## CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT \n\n627 \n\n### MEDICAL RELIEF WORK IN CHINA WAR \n\n...\n\n### If Gossip We Must \n\n#### (BY ELSPETH)\n\nDear Kate,\n\n... having mixed up my voice for several months in querulous plaint against one Hong Kong climate, I now must eat my words and agree with the residents that October, and I believe November and December weather, can compensate one for typhoons, steam, and any other Act of God. The sudden tang in the air last week sent us all flying prematurely, as it proved, to fur-lined coats and furs. How lovely to push one's tired and limp summer wardrobe into the background and blossom forth in something fresh.\n\nThe cocktail party given by the Deep Water Bay residents was one of the first occasions for the airing of cool weather clothes. The setting for this lovely party was a veritable dream. The sea comes right up to the garden wall, and the moon and fairy lights did all they could to convince nostalgic Shanghai-ites that what Hong Kong loses on the night clubs she makes up on the view. Every lovely person in Hong Kong seemed to have been bidden and to have come.\n\nI saw pretty Mrs. Whitham looking exquisitely soignee in a long tunic of dull metallic brocade. Mrs. Reis Evans clung to white—a colour which suits her admirably. Mrs. Neale, another attractive person, came in something slim and dark. As I arrived late and had to dash on to a dinner party on the Peak, I had no time to do much other than to gasp at the view, swallow an excellent cocktail, and make my regretful adieu.\n\nAgain, I had to drag myself away before I had nearly enough time to enjoy the gay and cosmopolitan crowd with which this popular young couple have already surrounded themselves.\n\nOn Saturday night, after a delightful dinner on the Peak, we betook ourselves to the Grips to dance. The place was packed to capacity, and if our thoughtful hostess had not booked a table well in advance, we should have had either to sit on the stairs or to invade the sacred mysteries of Bessie's Bar. I saw the lovely Mrs. Hobkirk dancing with her tall, good-looking husband. Miss Judith Smith, in a printed dress, was in a coterie which included the Countess de Courseulles and her sister, Miss Chieri. At the same party, we also saw Mrs. McAvoy and her husband and Miss Gerrard. Miss Pestonji was wearing petunia effectively. I saw Mrs. Crokham looking lovely in a graceful printed dress dancing with Mr. Jack Macgregor, who has just come back from Shanghai.\n\nThe amusing entertainers Mahon and Rucker were doing an energetic turn vaguely reminiscent of the circus as we arrived, and I could not but applaud the fortitude of Miss Rucker on the repeated occasions when she was hurled through the air, and then the floor skidded about in a highly painful manner. The panther trainer cracked his whip in a realistic manner rather trying to shell-shocked ears. I saw Mr. Lawrence Kadoorie dancing with Miss Gubbay, who looked charming in white.\n\nThe southern side of the Island drew us all again on Thursday to the Lido for the cocktail party given by the newly married Delaneys. What an asset they are to the community, and how welcoming was the atmosphere of American hospitality which engulfed one on arrival. Mrs. Delaney welcomed her guests in a lovely cocktail tunic of taffeta worn over a slender black skirt. Mrs. Donovan looked delightful in a dark dress and black hat. Mrs. Abbott was wearing something gay and rather South American in colouring.\n\nThe crush was enormous, and not half enough people took advantage of the Terrace to allow me to view the lovely clothes. One lovely person was in pink with masses of white fox fur.\n\nMy dear Kate, my pen has run away with me. I must gird up my loins and flee to Shek-O to bang a golf-ball about.\n\nLove,\nELSPETH,\n\n122",

        "content_text": "43\n\nhappened to us. In the G.C.H., there was most probably a high percentage of deaths amongst the convalescents. The symptoms were those of acidosis, and in all cases, the blood chemistry showed high blood urea. Once the blood urea rose to 100 mgs per cent, there was nothing we could do to save the patient; our problem, therefore, was either to prevent the onset of this condition or to detect its onset earlier. The routine method of prevention is, of course, Rogers bicarbonate transfusion, but all these cases had already had that, and we felt the addition of more salts to the blood was adding an additional load to the already failing kidneys. By this time, the epidemic was on the wane, and we were able to spend more time on the fewer cases, and the next important step arose; it is interesting to note, not out of a laboratory finding but out of a simple clinical observation; we found all these cases had suppression of urine. I shall refer to another aspect of this point later.\n\nOwing to the fact that vitamin B1 has been shown to increase the utilization of oxygen in the kidneys of avitaminotic animals and also to the fact that these patients showed B1 deficiency as explained above, we began treating these cases with large doses of Betuxin intravenously, and the results were very encouraging. A number of cases with blood urea of over 100, and in some cases 200, which before were certain to die, started passing urine again and recovered. Unfortunately, by this time, the epidemic was almost over, and we had to cease our intense labours, so that the scientific proof afforded by large numbers and by controls was not forthcoming, but a prima facie case has been made out for this treatment, and I personally think that this finding alone made our work worthwhile; and it is to be hoped that Government, who gave us a grant which was largely used for buying Betuxin, will agree that it was money well spent.\n\nIf figures are of any use in describing this work, it might be added that this biochemical investigation was carried out on about 175 patients and involved many thousand separate tests in total.\n\nThere are a few general observations that I feel I should like to make, and in so doing, I hope it will be realised that they are not made in any critical or fault-finding spirit, but in the hope that if and when another epidemic visits us, we shall benefit by our experience of 1937.\n\n1. Mortality was high compared with epidemics in other places, such as Shanghai; but I think the reason is that in Hong Kong, quite rightly, the patients were kept in hospital till they had negative rectal swabs and were not discharged, as in other places, as soon as the acute stage was over. A large percentage of our deaths were these anuric cases occurring during convalescence, and it was with all these cases that our best scientific work was done.\n\n2. Nothing but praise can be given to the way in which the doctors and nursing staff carried out their extremely arduous tasks in the face of large numbers of patients and a deplorably equipped hospital. You will remember that the simple clinical finding of suppression of urine, and not an abstruse laboratory investigation, gave us the clue to what we think were important findings; but under the conditions prevailing early in the epidemic, the doctors and nurses could not begin to treat cases as ordinary patients are treated; no notes could be made, or even a temperature taken; they were too busy with mere rule-of-thumb treatment; but under such circumstances, how can any doctor be expected to give anything but the merest routine treatment, or how can any nurse give but the most meagre attention to her patient? Such conditions are not fair to the medical service, nor to the colony.",

SEPTEMBER FRIDAY, 3, 1937.\n\nCHINA AND JAPAN\n\nBasic Facts Reviewed By an Observer\nPEACE IN EUROPE\n\nLittle Entente Policy Announced\nWAICHOW UNEASY\n\nFear of Air Raid Causes Exodus of Residents\nMY COFFEE MUST BE A FINE BLEND\n\nWELL, I THINK IT'S MORE IMPORTANT.\n\nTO HAVE IT REALLY FRESH\n\n13\n\nBUT I INSIST ON HAVING IT GROUND JUST RIGHT\n\n32\n\nWaichow, Sept. 1. It is reported that a bomb was dropped from a Japanese airplane flying over Au-tau, at the head of Bias Bay, fifty or more miles from Waichow. Yesterday, it is further rumoured that Waichow is one of the several places to be attacked from the air, which of course causes much uneasiness. Quite a number of women and children have previously retired to the village and others are leaving the city pursuant to these unfavourable reports.\n\nCHANGE OF VIEWPOINT\n\nThe motives which urged the Japanese to take advantage of the Lukouchiao and Shanghai incidents to start the present war are explained by a competent observer, Mr. E. M. Gull, in a letter to the Manchester Guardian. He says:\n\nSir, May I begin this letter, which I have been wanting to write for some time, by congratulating the Manchester Guardian on its presentation and treatment of the conflict between China and Japan? It needed real knowledge and insight to see and considerable courage to declare, as you did in your issue of July 13, that \"there is every reason to believe that, should the Japanese go forward, political necessity as well as his personal inclination will force General Chiang Kai-shek to fight at last.\" You were, I felt convinced, absolutely right, and so too, I thought, had been your correspondent in Nanking in the admirable messages which he had been sending to you.\n\nBucharest, Sept. 1. Members of the Little Entente have issued a communique on their policy, which is based on the same principles as the United States.\n\nMost observers in England, among them persons who had recently been in China, thought that China would not fight—not, some said, in any circumstances, and among them were men for whose respect I had a high regard.\n\nWashington, Sept. 1. Asked whether the United States and Britain contemplated further joint action in the Sino-Japanese crisis, Mr. Bingham replied that any statement would have to come from the Department of State.\n\nReports that British and American naval commanders at Shanghai were discussing the possibility of convoys to escort vessels were treated with circumspection by the Department of State, which takes the view that such a step would require Mr. Roosevelt's approval.—Reuter.\n\nTension Relieved\n\nUpon its presentation and treatment of the Far Eastern crisis \"to some extent.\"\n\nIt is expected that American cargo and passenger ships will be permitted to enter freely into Chinese waters soon, but Mr. Roper added that the American Government had to proceed upon a daily, and nigh an hourly basis, dependent on developments as they occurred.—Reuter.\n\nChinese Make Amends\n\nWashington, Sept. 2. The State Department has announced that the American Ambassador to China, Mr. N. T. Johnson, has cabled advising that Marshal Chiang Kai-shek has officially apologised in connection with the mistaken bombing of President Hoover and made amends.—United Press.\n\nBritish Co-operation\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (7 p.m.). Admiral Yarnell, interviewed by Reuter, expressed his appreciation of British co-operation in the present difficulties. He stated that he was conferring with Vice-Admiral Little frequently on questions of common interest, keeping the river open to navigation, and he described the help given by H.M.S. Cumberland to the United States supply ship Gold Star as a sterling example of Anglo-American co-operation.\n\nThe Basic Facts\n\nI say all this not by way of sending you an agreeable letter but because it enables me to state what I conceive to be the basic facts in the present situation. First, the Chinese are not temperamentally fighters, and they have a moral and intellectual antipathy to violence. The commonest coolie will describe as \"too fierce\" the threatening, blustering type of person, and once that has been said three or four times of a man, he is marked as inferior \"for keeps.\" But what the Chinese feel today transcends this constitutional dislike. They feel that unless they fight Japan, they will become a second-rate people, dominated by an inferiority complex, under the influence of which they could accomplish none of the tasks which they know must be undertaken and completed before they can rank again as a first-rate people.\n\nThe communique states that the development of the economic and political relations with the Danubian countries is increasingly hopeful.\n\nThe communique praises M. Paul Van Zeeland's efforts for international economic accord.—United Press.\n\nETHIOPIAN CONQUEST\n\nBelgrade, Sept. 1. Semi-officially, the newspaper Vreme reported that members of the Bucharest conference agreed that the question of recognising the Italian conquest of Ethiopia should be liquidated as soon as possible.\n\nIt is believed that members of the Little Entente are ready to originate a common move for the recognition of the conquest, and eliminating the subject from further European consideration.—United Press.\n\nHAILED IN FRANCE\n\nParis, Sept. 1. The country has hailed the results of the conference at Bucharest as the greatest victory of French foreign policy since Herr Adolf Hitler's policy changed the international line-up.\n\nAttention has been drawn to the communique, which endorses every principle of French foreign policy. It is said that the \"Hands-off Spain\" policy adopted at Bucharest is a direct blow to the Italo-German interference doctrine that in the civil war is justifiable because of the danger of the establishment of an extreme Leftist regime in Spain.—United Press.\n\nOPIUM PROBLEM\n\nCase of the British Colonies\nFUTURE CONTROL POINT\nA plea for the closest co-operation between the United States and this country in regard to the opium traffic was made at a gathering in Westminster by Mrs. Howell Morrhead, of the Foreign Policy Association, U.S.A., who for twenty-two years has been making a close study of the opium problem, discussing it with experts in many countries, and watching the work of the League of Nations Opium Advisory Committee.\n\nMrs. Moorhead spoke of a conference that would be held at Geneva in about two years, a conference of plenipotentiaries of the various Governments, to consider the drafting of a treaty to limit the supply of raw materials to the needs of doctors and scientists.\n\nMedical and scientific needs are already known, but to arrive at the world requirements of raw material, the League must also know the amount of raw material required by the opium-smoking monopolies and how long that need is to continue.\n\nIt should therefore also know what policy Great Britain intended to pursue in regard to such of her colonies as still allow opium-smoking. In some of those colonies, there are only a few—the smoker is registered but not rationed; in some, he is rationed, and in some, the registered list is closed, though new names may be added on medical authority.\n\nMrs. Moorhead, who made it clear that she was not speaking for her Government, said that the one point at issue between opinion in the United States and in Great Britain was the indefinite continuation of the opium-smoking monopolies in certain British colonies.\n\nAPPEAL TO MAYOR\n\nSan Francisco, Sept. 1. Teamsters throttled waterfront longshoremen's gangs attempting to unload ships here today, and cargoes are not leaving the docks.\n\nIn Clashes\n\nJerusalem, Sept. 1. Four more persons were killed today as a result of clashes between Arabs and Jews.\n\nJewish leaders have issued a proclamation in similar terms used by the Arab Higher Committee yesterday, urging their people to keep calm. Police and aircraft are standing by for emergencies.—Reuter Bulletin.\n\nMartial Law Threat\n\nA spokesman for the shippers asserted: \"Outbound ships will soon be without cargoes. All shipping will be badly crippled. We are not party to the dispute but are watching developments closely.\n\nJerusalem, Sept. 1. Two more Arabs have been shot to death. The toll for the 72 hours is seven Arabs and three Jews. The British authorities have threatened martial law.—United Press.\n\nAppeal to Mayor\n\nArab Killed\n\nJerusalem, Sept. 2. Shots were fired at the British High Commissioner's summer camp today, killing an Arab constable.\n\nSan Francisco, Sept. 1. Seventy-five women, mostly the wives of longshoremen, some leading and others carrying children, marched to the offices of the Mayor, Mr. Angelo J. Rossi, and appealed to him to terminate the embargo.—United Press.\n\nThe High Commissioner is at present residing there.—Reuter Bulletin.\n\nThe meeting agreed that the problem of Hongkong, where the control system has broken down, would require separate consideration.\n\nAMOY MAYOR QUITS\n\nAmoy, Sept. 2. Mr. Li Shih-lin, the mayor of Amoy, resigned today. It is reported that Mr. Kao Han-chiu will be appointed to succeed Mr. Li.—Central News.\n\nThe Canton-Hankow Railway has now resumed its regular service, which was lately interrupted by flood in Hunan, says the Canton Gazette. The large quantity of Hunan rice intended for Kwangtung and held up by the flood is gradually pouring into Canton.\n\nPage 13\n\nPage 13\n\nPage 13\n\n...\n\nPage 32\n\nPage 32\n\nPage 32",

Holt, M.D. Longmans Green. Pp. 174. Charts. Price 8s. 6d. net.\n\nThe author of this book is described as practising at The Hague and Utrecht, so presumably his data are derived from Continental women.\n\nThis may account for some of the peculiar statements made in these pages.\n\nIn the spate of books on the variously named \"safe period\" this takes a relatively serious place. Obviously its compilation has involved considerable work, and the author's efforts to be thorough include the starting point of Genesis and a few notes from old Indian sources. One of the most interesting features of this and other recent books on the \"safe-period,\" is the criticisms they contain of other writers' \"safe-periods.\"\n\nWhile they all agree in advocating some infallible rule for the estimation of a \"safe-period,\" they vary both as to which it is and how to arrive at the dates for specific women.\n\nDr. Holt, for instance, speaking of Siegel's oft-quoted work, says, \"These calculations cannot serve as a serious scientific work.\" On the very next page he makes us smile himself by saying, \"There are no women who have their menstruations regularly every twenty-eight days,\" and it is a striking mistake of Dr. Siegel's investigations that he took his records from women who had. He states the American, Dr. Dickinson. \"Dickinson and Bryant's published statistics cannot be considered to be founded on a sound basis.\" Dr. Ogino has his turn too, and our author says, about deviations of the cycle, that it is strange that \"Dr. Ogino who has always avoided this statistical error should now fall into it himself when referring to the influence of a psychological shock on menstruation.\"\n\nSpeaking of what he calls \"ovulation bleeding,\" which sometimes is mistaken after childbirth for menstruation, he says, \"Even doctors make this mistake, and one of the errors that follows is the belief that the period during which a woman is most apt to be fecundated is at or near menstruation.\"\n\nIn short, this book emphasizes the extreme care required in the \"research necessary to establish the 'safe-period' in any woman.\n\nThe author himself puts the following into italics. \"For women who wish to use the 'safe-period' it is necessary that: Every new case should be controlled monthly by an expert, i.e. at every menstruation, for six to twelve months. After that a report should be issued after every third cycle. Any prescription will only be valid provided the woman remains in her usual circumstances during the period which we will call the period of attention.\" \"It is not a simple method,\" says our author, and heads a section of his book in capital letters. \"To be assured of success the method should not be applied without the advice of a physician.\"\n\nThe number of undesired and unpremeditated pregnancies reported in the chapter dealing with Test Cases makes one wonder at the credulity of the public. The enemies of the true scientific birth control are now eagerly putting about the idea that birth control is difficult and unreliable and must be in charge of a doctor! We suppose some day all the world will realize the simplicity of really scientific contraception as demonstrated at the C.B.C. Clinics.\n\nOctober, 1937\n\nVol. xvi, No. 3.\n\nBIRTH CONTROL NEWS\n\nCORRESPONDENCE.\n\nTwelve Children.\n\nDEAR MADAM,\n\nI am writing to ask you for your Birth Control, as I have had 12 children, and being 42 years of age, I don't feel fit to have any more as I get worried at times, and should like your advice.\n\nYours truly,\n\nMrs. W.\n\nMalta's High Rate.\n\nInfant Death\n\nIn the British Medical Journal the following very interesting letters appeared during the summer.\n\nHealth Problems in Malta.\n\nSIR,\n\nIn your issue of June 5 (p. 1179) Dr. G. Arbour Stephens raised the problem of the high mortality rate among the infants and children in Malta, which he attributes to defects of feeding caused by an insufficiency of good milk and fresh vegetables.\n\nMay I point out from the start that the problem is a much complicated and difficult one to solve? Among the factors responsible the following should be remembered: (1) The overcrowding caused by a population of 2,434 persons per square mile; (2) the high birth-rate of nearly 34 per 1,000; (3) the inclement weather during hot rainless summers which exceed four months in duration; and, (4) the limited economic resources, which entail a low standard of living among the poorer classes. Many mothers lack a good education, but it is always difficult for them to pay enough attention to their infants when they must cater as well for a family of six or seven other children with only their husbands' very limited earnings.\n\nThere is also the problem of proper feeding. Goat's milk is not used for infants on such a large scale as might be supposed; and if it were it might be preferable to many of the cheap artificial milks actually on the market.\n\nI am, &c.,\n\nWALTER GANADO.\n\nFloriana, Malta.\n\nSIR,\n\nI read with particular interest the letter of Dr. G. Arbour Stephens dealing with infant mortality in Malta, in which he attributes the high mortality-rate among children to lack of vitamin B in their diet. As a local medical man who has had the opportunity to study the question on the spot, I beg to differ. Of course, lack of vitamin B in foodstuffs and bad nutrition in general, both in the pregnant mother and in the child, play a part, and a good one at that, in bringing about that appalling death-rate which reflects so badly on our sanitation; but this is a contributory cause. The real cause of infant mortality in Malta is over-population; all other causes (bad feeding, uncleanliness, infections, &c.) follow in its wake and help to increase its ravages. Malta is a small island with the densest population in Europe, and a birth rate which surpasses by far that of any other country, and is out of proportion to our own economic wealth. Our birth-rate, which needs no alleviation of taxes and distribution of prizes to be encouraged, as is done in other countries, is very high and alarming; only the usual indifference of the British Government and the fatalistic attitude of our own are not alarmed.\n\nHigh infant mortality follows invariably overcrowding...\n\nI am, &c.,\n\nJos. BONNICI.\n\nValletta, Malta.\n\nPage 35",

        "content_text": "2\n\nANNUAL REPORT, 1936-1937.\n\nGeneral: The Hong Kong Eugenics League has emerged successfully from its first year of trial, and may shortly be expected to play a noteworthy part in relief of poverty in the Colony and, by its example, in the neighbouring provinces of China, one of the parts of the world where the provision of contraceptive knowledge and facilities is the sorest necessity.\n\nAs Lord Horder said in a letter to the \"Times\" in October, 1936, \"Birth Control clinics are needed to enable parents to space and limit their families. If quantity is lessened quality becomes even more important and any sane population policy must include planned families.”\n\nSpeaking in the House of Lords on November 10th, 1936, Lord Dawson said: \"It is a fact that the smaller families of to-day have a higher proportion of fitter children and the mothers of those children are as well as, and in my judgment better than, those of any previous generation.\"\n\nThe League's primary objects are:-(1) the provision of advice for women, and particularly women of the poorest classes, whose health makes pregnancy medically undesirable, and (2) the provision of clinics for women whose circumstances are such that both public policy and their individual good demand family limitation.\n\nSome of those who deplore falling birthrates oppose the spread of contraceptive knowledge. To adopt such a course would be to set the clock back; every new invention brings with it the possibility of abuse. Mere opposition to contraception implies a readiness to force people to become parents against their will. The futility of such an attempt is proved by the admitted increase in criminal abortion--a convincing proof of the lengths to which women will go if knowledge of birth control is denied them. A restriction of such knowledge might lead to a number of unwanted children but would certainly lead to a more widespread use of quack methods of family limitation and to an increase in illegal abortion.\n\nNature has her own rough and ready methods of reducing population when it exceeds what a region can support; they are war, pestilence and famine,--all linked directly with the existence of a population in excess of what a country, in the state of development attained, can provide with the means of life. Contraception aims at keeping population within the bounds dictated by economic development by means more humane, and raising so the standard of population that nature's cruder forces of reduction may cease to operate.\n\nHistorical: Considerable interest in the subject having been aroused by the visit to the Colony in March, 1936, of Mrs. Sanger and Mrs. How-Martyn, the Reception Committee which had arranged the agenda of the visitors while in the Colony decided to seize the opportunity thus presented to consider the establishment here of a clinic, with the object of placing a knowledge of modern methods of contraception within reach of the classes of the community most in need of them.\n\nThe constituent meeting was held on 1st April, 1936, when the decision was taken to proceed with the formation of a League to put into effect that aim. Thereafter the League's Committee met monthly to settle procedure and the details of its constitution. The terms of the constitution were finally agreed at a meeting on 26th June, and simultaneously the practical work of the clinic began, the details of which are to be found under the medical section of this report.\n\nThe Executive Committee has continued to meet monthly to discuss matters of concern to the League. At a meeting held on 7th January, 1937, Dr. Nixon informed the Committee of the success of the League's application for affiliation to the International Birth Control League (of London and New York), to the National Birth Control Association (of London), and to the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau (of New York).\n\nPage 33",

J. Sloss, C.B.E., M.A., referred to the lack of a hostel for the girl students, who had increased in numbers, and the insufficiency of playing fields generally. In a generous tribute to his predecessor, Mr. Sloss mentioned that a considerable number of books had been donated to the University by Sir William Hornell.\n\nThe Procession marshalled in the robing room soon after the Chancellor arrived and then, led by the Mace Bearer, walked through the cloisters.\n\nThe Chancellor declared the Congregation open, and the Vice-Chancellor made the opening address.\n\nMr. Sloss said: It has been customary for the Congregation to comment upon the events of the preceding year. As I have been here only two months I cannot do this, and therefore I shall limit myself in the main to obvious and non-controversial issues.\n\nA Royal Patron\n\nHis Excellency said: The past year has been notably eventful. During its passage the University lost a Chancellor in Sir Andrew Caldecott who, though his tenure of his office was short, took a keen interest in the welfare of the University.\n\nThe General Library of the University has been enriched by a gift of about 2,000 volumes from Sir William Hornell. Many of the books in Sir William's gift would now be difficult to obtain, and they increase the value of the Library.\n\nThe Chinese part of the Library has also found friends. Two large collections of good books, some in rare editions, lent from Canton for long periods of use in this Library.\n\nTo this I would like to add a few words to recall Sir William's eminent services to education before he came here—the achievements, in fact, with which were the use of his coming to Hongkong. He entered the Indian Education Service early in life and after seven years' distinguished work in Bengal he was recalled to the Board of Education in London where he worked in the Department of Special Enquiries and Reports with distinguished colleagues such as Sir Frank Heath and Mr. C: W. Twenty-four years later he came to Hongkong as Vice-Chancellor.\n\nSir William's hospitality was a fine influence in the University. His genial and kindly nature endeared him to his friends, and the memory of his geniality and his \"fairy god-mother\" kindnesses, which endeared him to a wide circle of friends and, not least, to the students of this University.\n\nOne of the oldest of Sir William's colleagues writes of him: \"During his thirteen years of office as Vice-Chancellor Sir William Hornell had many perplexities and problems to face. Throughout all these difficulties he always tried to do whatever he could to make members of his staff more efficient at their work and more contended in their conditions of service.\"\n\nHe returned to India in 1913 as Director of Public Instruction in Bengal.\n\nThe story of this University has been a story of transitions from crisis to crisis, and Sir William worthily filled a Vice-Chancellor's place.\n\nWilliam's place has been worthily filled by a Vice-Chancellor whose ripe experience makes him peculiarly welcome at the present juncture.\n\nThe Chancellor made a studied reference to the deliberations of the Committee which recently published recommendations for changes in the University administration, but laid most stress on the need for greater attention to the teaching of hygiene and the need for accommodation for girl students.\n\nThe University's great annual event was favoured by the weather, and the number of graduates in the University in 1937 has risen from a normal 50 to an actual 77.\n\nSeating and standing space and inside the Great Hall was fully occupied long before 5 p.m.\n\nThe Deans of the Faculties of Medicine, Engineering, and Arts then presented their graduates in succession, and the Chancellor conferred the respective degrees on each graduate, as they stepped forward with new hoods, and afterwards shook hands with each of them.\n\nThe Vice-Chancellor next read out the names of students in absentia on whom degrees were conferred, and presented the scholarship winners, with whom the Chancellor also shook hands.\n\nThe Graduates\n\nThe graduates of 1937 were:\n\nDegree of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery.—R.

R. T. Naidu and G. A. V. Ribeiro, the Ho Fook and Chan Kai Ming Engineering Scholarship, G. M. Cornfeld.\n\nThe Ho Fook and Chan Kai Ming Arts Scholarship, Wu Hei-tak.\n\nPhysical Training\n\nIn one respect, I am advised, student life at the University might be quickened and that is by devoting a little more time and thought to generally collective Physical Training.\n\nAs is well known, modern thought to-day, puts into practice a growingly closer alliance between the mind and the body, and it would be wise to encourage and help members of the staff to attend scientific conferences in other parts of the world and the students of the University to travel for purposes of study.\n\nChancellor's Address\n\nHis Excellency said: I turn for a moment to a material need of the University which is becoming more and more urgent year by year. 90 were women. For them the University so far, has not been able to provide a residential hall, nor even a hostel in which they could be housed collectively.\n\nThus on the one hand they are without the discipline and tutelage which are essential conditions of sound student life, and on the other they are deprived of the experience of a corporate life which supplies a great stimulus to, and widens the horizon of, those who are fortunate enough to live in University colleges.\n\nMr. Sloss, the Vice-Chancellor, has just spoken of Sir William Hornell's many services to education and I would like to render a tribute to those members of this University who engage themselves in social activities in the interest of other less fortunate than themselves.\n\nI refer, of course, to the Education Society, the Medical Society, the Christian Association and the other bodies within the University which have as their aim the betterment of the poorest classes of the community.\n\nTheir service of love builds better than they know: for love alone is creative and ever transcends its conscious objectives.\n\nCommittee's Report\n\nBefore I end this address I would like to render a tribute to those members of this University who engage themselves in social activities in the interest of other less fortunate than themselves.\n\nCertain of them, for example the advice to invest most of the Superannuation Fund in the general funds of the University, appear to me to be non-controversial and to call for immediate implementation.\n\nThe report contains, however, many suggestions and recommendations concerning finance and organization which pertain to the Finance Committee and the Council rather than to the Senate and I trust that these will be considered by the former authorities while those concerning the curriculum are being considered by the latter.\n\nThe Courage with which (Applause).\n\nHis Excellency then declared the Congregation closed.\n\nProcession List\n\nThe Procession which comprised Members of the Court, Council, Senate and Faculties of the University and Wardens of the Hostels, was as follows:\n\nHis Excellency the Chancellor, preceded by the Mace Bearer, and followed by the Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Dean, Faculty of Arts; H.

Edwards at the Central Magistracy yesterday and pleaded guilty.\n\nDet, Sergeant Davies stated that defendant was employed by a firm on the third floor of the Marina House. On the morning in question, he went down to the first floor and entered a vacant office where some electrical repairs were being carried and so forth. That done, he took two lead pipes and placed them across the alleyway to the St. Francis Hotel, and started to walk across to the hotel. Midway, the pipes gave way, and he fell, from a height of about 30 feet, and had to receive medical attention. The defendant admitted that his intention was to commit a larceny in the hotel.\n\nHis Worship bound defendant over in the sum of $50 to be of good behaviour for a year, and remarked that he had learned a good lesson.\n\nHOUSEBREAKING ATTEMPT\n\nMr. D. Keys, of 3 Cameron Road, reported to the police on Tuesday that some person attempted to enter his house between 10 p.m. on January 3 and 8 a.m. on January 4, by boring a hole in the front door.

        "content_text": "7. A magnificent piece of work was done in having accommodation available for 500 persons within 36 hours of instructions being received to go ahead\". Two thousand camp beds were ordered of which 200 were later taken over by the Peninsula Hotel for the dormitory accommodation arranged at that hotel. Blankets, linen and stores were lent by the Hong Kong & Shanghai Hotels, Limited, and were placed in charge of Mrs. A. K. Taylor, as Matron, who had had previous experience in this work.\n\n8. Mr. B. A. Proulx was placed in charge at the Happy Valley Centre and worked continuously there until the Centre closed down on 10th September. He was of excellent service during the very trying period when the refugees were arriving from Shanghai and his previous knowledge of the building was of immense assistance in adapting the premises for their new use.\n\n9. Mr. F. W. Kendall was of great help also in supervising the installation of beds, etc. He has a flair for getting the utmost done in an emergency.\n\n10. As stated earlier, accommodation was available for 500 persons by the evening of 19th August. Subsequently it was clear that we could accommodate at Happy Valley about 780 persons with a further 300 if the stables, attached to the Stand were brought into use. There were of course obvious objections to this latter addition.\n\n11. Meanwhile, however, at the suggestion of Brigadier H. G. Seth-Smith, the new Central British School was prepared for the reception of further refugees by the Headmaster, Mr. D. M. Richards, Mrs. Richards and members of the School staff, Mr. Crozier, Mr. McLellan, Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Hill and Miss Curtin. Work was commenced on Saturday, 21st August, and some 40 refugees were transferred from Happy Valley to the new Central British School on Sunday, 22nd August. Mattresses, blankets and sheets were borrowed from the Military Authorities and for the first day or so until camp beds were sent over from Happy Valley the refugees slept on the floor. Catering was undertaken by the firm of Kay Lee.\n\n12. The main difficulty at the commencement of our work arose from the fact that we had no knowledge how many of the refugees would require accommodation to be provided for them.\n\n13. By the s.s. \"Rajputana\", which arrived in Hong Kong on the evening of 19th August, 679 women, 346 children and 4 men came to Hong Kong. Out of this total of 1,029 persons, only 273 sought accommodation at Happy Valley on the morning of 20th August—the remainder having found accommodation elsewhere with friends, in hotels and boarding houses or in the separate centres arranged by the big business houses with interests throughout China. In some cases also the refugees stayed only a few days in the Centre and, having found accommodation elsewhere, left.\n\n14. The \"Empress of Asia\" brought 1,368 refugees to the Colony and arrived on Saturday, 21st August, but, partly due to departures to private accommodation and partly due to the excellent arrangements made for the staffs of large business firms, the numbers in the Centres only increased by 296.\n\n15. It is easy to be wise after the event but such uncertainty prevailed on Sunday, 22nd August, that steps were taken to explore the possibilities of other buildings in the Colony for further centres. Inquiry was also made from Singapore whether accommodation was available there in the event of our being swamped here.\n\n16. As things turned out there was ample accommodation at Happy Valley for all who sought board and lodging from Government and the Centre at the new Central British School need never have been opened. Accommodation was made available by the Military Authorities for men at Hankow Barracks, Shamshuipo, as it was impossible to provide separate accommodation for men at Happy Valley.",

        "content_text": "75\n\n26\n\nMrs. Colter (of the British Women's Association in Shanghai) investigated every case and recommended what grants should be made to allow each a little pocket money. The amounts varied from $2 to $5 per week according to their needs and number of children. Mesdames Dicken, Gerrard, and Wolf afterwards visited the Centres weekly to distribute these allowances. At one time the recipients numbered over ninety, but these were gradually decreased as the total refugees diminished. In all, $4,580 was distributed in this way. The Committee spent a great deal of time investigating the individual cases and deciding what help should be given.\n\nPassages, etc.\n\nThere were several cases of refugees who, for business, family, or health reasons, wished to return to Shanghai or to go to Singapore, but who had not the requisite funds. In some cases, refugees who wished to go to England could find part but not all of the fares. The Committee felt that they should help in this matter, as the cost would otherwise fall on the Government. Only the cheapest passages were provided, and the total spent was $1,999.\n\nGrants were also made, to a total of $1,635, for landing expenses, railway fares, etc., on arrival at their destinations. On the final repatriation to Shanghai of the remaining refugees, similar grants were made, which are included in the above total.\n\nHelp to Mothers.\n\nMany of the refugee mothers had four or five children to look after, and in cases where the youngest were only babies, the Committee paid for an amah and provided rattan perambulators. When a mother was unable to look after her child, the Committee paid for its maintenance at the French Convent.\n\nDental Aid.\n\nSome refugees needed dental attention, and the Committee paid for this.\n\nFresh Fruit.\n\nIt was felt by the Committee that fresh fruit was necessary for the children, and as this was not supplied by the caterer at Laichikok and Central British School, this was purchased from welfare funds and distributed twice a week. During the cholera epidemic, only imported oranges and apples were given, but later Dr. Valentine authorized bananas and pumeloes.\n\nMilk.\n\nKlim was provided by the Committee for babies, young children, and patients in the Laichikok hospital. Lactogen and \"Cow and Gate\" were also supplied when necessary; also fruit, milk, and eggs to a few refugees in outside hospitals.\n\nMiscellaneous.\n\nThree mattresses were bought by the Committee for the hospital at Laichikok, and the Matilda Hospital very kindly donated 12 hot water bottles.\n\nConclusion.\n\nBefore closing this Report, the Welfare Committee wish to express their deep gratitude to Mr. J. H. Taggart for his magnificent donation, without which much of their work would have been impossible.\n\nThey also express their thanks to all others who, in various ways, helped in the work, by gifts of money or in kind, by providing entertainments, and by personal service.",

She has been informed of the date of his arrival in London.\n\n(3) WHO PAYS HUMMUS: I deposited £16.9.9. and 3 odd with the Purser for the purpose, and you saw the receipt. I told the Purser's Officer that the money was for the purpose of paying Captain Reynold's escort, and would be paid by you if you were satisfied with the latter's conduct. The balance of the money - there are a few Dollars as well - is to be handed over to Mrs. Ross on Captain Reynolds' arrival in England. I also spoke to you in your cabin about it and showed you the receipt.\n\n(4) VERY UNSATISFACTORY ARRANGEMENTS: I don't agree with you \n(a) You know all about him. \n(b) The escort has been provided. \n(c) You have the money to pay the escort. \n(d) Capt.

He was admitted with a chronic ulcer of his leg, which has now healed, but has had a stroke during his stay in hospital and his mental faculties are somewhat deteriorated. His sister, Mrs. Ross, is in England and is very anxious for his return to England. He is not in any way a lunatic, but is somewhat senile and will require some attention on the voyage to England. I believe he has some funds in the bank, but I do not know how much. £300 hard sterling and a few Dollars are with the Purser in s.s. `Chitral`.\n\nI have been instructed by the Hon.

(Applause).\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY.-Your Excellency,-The only point which has arisen to which an answer seems required is the suggestion of racial discrimination within the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps. I am grateful to the Honourable Mr. Lo Man-kam for the opportunity to state that his fears on this subject are groundless.\n\nThis Government fully agrees that all members of the Corps should receive equal treatment in every respect and at all times. (Applause).\n\nH.E. THE GENERAL OFFICER COMMANDING.-Your Excellency, Last week when this Bill was read for the first time in this Council I was away in North China, I therefore take this opportunity to assure Hon. Members how much importance I, as Fortress Commander, attach to it.\n\nNo one can forecast the future in the present circumstances and nobody can say what will happen. It may be that this Fortress will be attacked. If it is attacked, we shall resist to the full power of our resources and strength.\n\nI mention this point because it is possible that rumours to the contrary may have reached the ears of Hon. Members-rumours spread by those ill-disposed towards us. I wish to point out that these rumours are entirely false. It is our intention to defend the Colony to the end, and those who proclaim to the contrary are making mis-statements.\n\nIt is my duty to bring to the notice of Hon. Members any questions which I consider are important to the defence of this Colony. This Bill I consider to be essential in order that the British European man-power may be organised and distributed in the best way possible.\n\nIt is possible that Hon. Members may be in doubt on the rather vexed question of key men, and I think they will be glad to hear how it is proposed to solve the problem of those Members of the Volunteers who are now in fact key men. I have pointed out on various occasions in the past that, in my judgment, the number of key men who will remain in a real emergency will be comparatively few, but the fact remains that there are undoubtedly a number of essential services and civil organisations which must be maintained in any circumstances and are as important and, in some instances, more important in war than in peace.\n\nAt this moment there are undoubtedly a number of members of the Volunteers who are key men and whose services will be required in their civil occupations in war, either permanently for the initial\n\nPage 21",

        "content_text": "## 2. \n\nIt may be incidentally mentioned here that when the Inspector General met Mr. T.V. Soong in Hongkong in November last year, he (Mr. Soong) expressed his earnest desire that the Customs Frontier Stations should not be re-opened as an \"occupied port\" - no matter what the consequences might be, and pointed out that such a step could but incur adverse criticism and possible serious consequences from Chungking.\n\nThe Japanese Military authorities, however, withdrew their forces from the Kowloon Frontier in December, 1939, and the question thus solved itself for the time being.\n\n## SITUATION IN JULY, 1940\n\nThe Kowloon Frontier was again occupied last month by Japanese Military forces, and on this occasion the occupation was gradually extended (for a brief period) to include Mirs Bay, where the Customs establishment at Shauchung, the main trade route between the Colony and free China, was burnt. Within a few days, however, the Japanese withdrew from the Mirs Bay District, but maintained their occupation of the Frontier area from Namtao to Shatowkok only, and the Customs are again operating at Shauchung in Mirs Bay as elsewhere in free China.\n\nOn 15th July, 1940, the Japanese Consul-General in Hongkong renewed his \"request\" to the Kowloon Commissioner to administer the Kowloon Customs District - including the Head Office in Hongkong and the (unoccupied) Mirs Bay Frontier Stations - as an \"occupied port\". The requirements were identical with those of last October, and were accompanied with the same threat that failure to comply would necessitate the Japanese re-opening the Frontier Stations under an independent regime, thus jeopardizing the integrity of the Customs administration (vide Kowloon Commissioner's telegram No. 818 to the Inspector General, copy of which was forwarded to H.M. Ambassador under cover of the Inspector General's letter of 16th July, 1940).\n\nThe Inspector General stated that he was not in a position to acquiesce in administrative changes unless effected by actual force majeure pressed locally upon the Commissioner; and that in the case of the Head Office, situated in Hongkong, it was difficult for him to understand how effective force majeure could be exercised.\n\n## REVIEW\n\nThe Kowloon Commissioner endeavoured to work on the lines of the instructions issued to him in the autumn of 1939, i.e., that the question should remain in abeyance for the present and receive further consideration if, and when, the Japanese were in permanent control of the whole Frontier. He further pointed out that it was within the competence of the Japanese Authorities to force the re-opening of such Customs Stations as were located in occupied territory by placing them under the control of some other \"occupied\" port, e.g., Canton, to which the revenue collection could be remitted and banked with the Yokohama Specie Bank; but that he (the Kowloon Commissioner in Hongkong) could not properly be compelled to deposit revenue in the Yokohama Specie Bank which had been collected at Customs Frontier Stations in the unoccupied Mirs Bay area. (The present revenue collection at the unoccupied Mirs Bay Stations is estimated at about $100,000 a month, while, except on the Canton-Kowloon Railway which is not...",

Colonies telegram No. 548, 4th September, repeated to Shanghai telegram No. 182, Chungking telegram No. 122, Tokyo telegram No. 96.\n\n42\n\nI have been asked how the Government would regard appointment of a Japanese liaison officer under Commissioner of Chinese Customs who administers from Head Office in Hong Kong certain Customs establishments on and near the frontier.\n\nExcept as regards most of the senior posts I cannot object on racial grounds to staffing arrangements of this international machine but I foresee serious difficulties particularly since only some of the frontier stations administered by the Commissioner from Hong Kong are at present situated in occupied territory remainder operating as in free China.\n\nI understand the general practice of the Customs in territory under Japanese control is to yield to Japanese demands of this nature under force-majeure. Clearly this principle cannot apply in Hong Kong where the Japanese are not in a position to employ force and the Chinese Government would therefore be likely to resent such a concession by the Customs in Hong Kong. On the other hand if the Japanese are not in a position to apply force-majeure in Hong Kong they can and do threaten to disrupt the customs administration in other areas in their control if their demands are not granted and the Inspector General of Customs considers he can no longer resist this concession without incurring serious risk of collapse of the entire customs administration which has only been preserved with the greatest difficulty in face of continued Japanese pressure.\n\nIt would be within the competence of the Japanese to compel the customs to yield under force-majeure to a demand for customs posts in occupied territory to be reopened under administration of an occupied port e.g. under commissioner stationed at Canton but it would appear that Japanese are not prepared to follow this course as they are determined to get their man into Hong Kong office.\n\nIt would naturally ease the situation for the Inspector General of Customs were the Hong Kong Government to demur but he appreciates that they might find it embarrassing to take such a line and he is anxious not to appear in the light of endeavouring to persuade Hong Kong to pull his chestnuts out of the fire.\n\nPossibly time might be gained and situation be thus eased were Hong Kong Government to reply in somewhat vague terms such as \"question is under consideration but appointment of a senior Japanese official would seem to involve some modification of long accepted practice of appointing only British members...\n\n(message corrupt from here to end.

Mobilizations (Contd.)\n\nRecruitment of Officer personnel from out-ports to meet increasing commitments has proceeded throughout the year.\n\n### 5. Evacuation\n\nOn 1st July, on forty-eight hours' notice, one hundred and forty-two women and children, families of mobilized and unmobilized members, were evacuated under a scheme modelled on the naval scheme and prepared in advance by officers of this Force. By agreement with the Commodore, these families were treated in all respects as civilian evacuees. It is considered that the scheme operated smoothly and with a minimum of inconvenience.\n\nIt has been reported to me by husbands whose families were evacuated under the H.K.R.V.V.R. scheme and by many others that by the steadiness of two members of that party, Mrs. J. Petrie and Mrs. R. J. Vernall, and by their constant efforts in looking after the welfare of the party, excellent service was rendered at a time of considerable emotional upset to all evacuees. Had these ladies not been the wives of the two Senior Officers of this Force, I should have made this the subject of special mention earlier. This report would, however, be incomplete if I did not record the fact.\n\n### 6. H.M.S. Cornflower\n\nOn 17th August 1940, the sloop, H.M.S. \"Cornflower\", was handed back to the Admiralty, and the River Steamer \"TAI HING\", loaned by Sir Robert Ho Tung for the duration of the war, replaced her as temporary Headquarters and Depot Ship. On 7th September, by authority of the Admiralty's signal to Commodore timed 2116/7/8/40, the \"Tai Hing\" was named \"H.M.S. Cornflower\". That signal approved the Commodore Hong Kong's proposal \"to retain the name 'H.M.S. Cornflower' in perpetuity for use of the H.K.R.N.V.R. Headquarters whether afloat or onshore\". This change \"can only be in the nature of a temporary expedient and the need for a shore Headquarters is as pressing as ever\".\n\n### 7. Expense of Operation\n\nAs reported last year, the Admiralty is bearing the charter fees, expense of operation, and upkeep of Auxiliary Patrol Vessels and wages of taken over civilian crew with these vessels, and upkeep of the three Shore Stations all under my command. Government bears the pay and cost of uniforms, etc. for volunteer personnel and the maintenance of H.M.S. Cornflower.\n\n| Category | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| Pay Roll April 1940 to March 1941 inclusive | $788,537.86 |\n| V. bed plus S/V's. | $84,896.00 |\n| Expended (approx.)

Commanding Officer.  \n1941\n\nPage 9\n\n## HONG KONG ROYAL NAVAL VOLUNTEER RESERVE  \nH.M.S. CORNFLOWER,  \nHONG KONG.  \n30th August, 1940.  \n**CONFIDENTIAL**  \nA.S.R. 71/40.  \n(Auxiliary Services Routine)\n\nIn A.S.F. 9 (1939), I gave a review of events within the Force over the first week after mobilization. Today, four days before the Empire has the anniversary of its entry into the war, we have the anniversary of our first mobilization. I would like to review events over that year in the confidence of A.S.R's.\n\nThe first few weeks after mobilization are remembered as weeks of work at highest pressure in the heat of summer. The adjustment to some semblance of order and routine was hard work, but it was accomplished with remarkable harmony and good-temper, and I owe a great deal to the excellent spirit that prevailed then and prevails now.\n\nTo the sea-going members, the first few weeks were occupied by officers in getting to know ships. It was not a case of getting to know their own ship because there was not any; they were given a different ship almost every day until they knew them all. To the Seamen Ratings, the first few weeks seemed as sublimely uneventful as life in general seems to the mass of Chinese, but to the Communication Branch Ratings, the acquiring of \"sea legs\" was a painful process.\n\nThe Minewatching Branch began watchkeeping and has gradually developed to a full degree of maintenance and control of stations, which was never envisaged in time of peace.\n\nThere was a shortage of mobilized officer personnel due to the main effect of the war not having reached Hong Kong. A balance between local sea defence requirements and the needs of employers to retain their staff had to be found. The Admiralty needed the men, but the Home Government stated that trade must be maintained - result, the formation of a local Reference Board to assess the claims of both parties. Other avenues for recruitment of officer personnel were therefore explored, notably Shanghai, from which port many officers have now arrived.\n\nSome more of the hurdles we have cleared:\n\n(a) Rapid expansion, greater number and variety of duties, more and larger ships.\n\n(b) Refitting of new vessels for service - difficulties due to heterogeneous collection of craft and initiation into the wondrous ways of the Naval Dockyard.\n\n(c) Due to the number of new ships refitting, necessity to send half-trained officers to sea, thereby interrupting their training and, at the same time, throwing more work and responsibility on trained officers.\n\n(d) Officers transferred to other naval services and replaced.\n\n(e) Disorganisation due to failure of some, in fact most, of the old A.P.V's to stand up to unaccustomed heavy duty.\n\n(f) No cooking facilities in ships. Improvised living quarters.\n\n(g) During the last six months, the worst weather ever experienced in Hong Kong, in ships providing inadequate shelter.\n\n(h) In the flotilla, there are single right, single left, twin inturning, and twin outturning screws - surely a world record for one flotilla.\n\n(i) The transfer of headquarters from H.M.S. \"Cornflower\" to the new H.M.S. \"Cornflower\" and the months of preparatory work required.\n\n(j) The hazard of typhoons (fortunately none really severe) and the attendant disruption of patrols and re-adjustment to a new roster.\n\n(k) Variety of guns to fight and minesweeping gear to use.\n\n(l) The embarkation for evacuation of our wives and families carried out by an organisation prepared by ourselves.\n\n(m) Many of us long overdue for Home Leave (that is a hurdle which we cannot expect to clear until after the war) and duties so arduous that local leave has been almost impossible.\n\n(n) The loss of our Officer Instructor to the Royal Navy last October and the organisation and training of new mobilized members undertaken by volunteer officers, a duty which had never been envisaged.\n\n(o) The formation, expansion, and training in the evenings of the newly-formed European Seamen Gunners Branch, in addition to training of other unmobilized members.\n\n(p) To H.K.R.M.V.R. was given the duty of carrying out Admiralty Equipment and Running Trials of M/S gear of R.C.S. \"VITI\".\n\n(q) The setting up of a base at Middle Island, where we established our own Signal Station and W/T communications and operated as a detached unit during Combined Operations.\n\n(r) The organisation by ourselves of attacks on the Island during Combined Operations - in one instance with fourteen ships in two divisions.\n\nThere was one hurdle we did not clear, that was the maintaining of the Examination Service by H.K.R.N.V.R. Officers. The need for four more patrols came when the minefields were laid, and we had insufficient officers to undertake both duties. Five of our master mariner officers were, however, given commissions in the R.N.R., and the balance required for the Examination Service was recruited by the Naval Authorities. Later, as numbers gradually built up, we gave in lieu seven officers to other naval services, as mentioned in (d).\n\nWhen we look back to 1939, we realize that we have travelled a long, long way.\n\nA word about the future:\n\nWe are impatient to be \"in it\" at home. Our unmobilized members want to be mobilized. All over the Empire, unmobilized men want to be mobilized; mobilized men want active engagement with the enemy. This World War is today being actively fought by a privileged few - a handful of H.M. Ships, R.A.F. planes, and A.A. Batteries. It is also being fought less spectacularly but no less decisively by others, of whom we are part.\n\nThose who served in the last war know how seldom the average man is in contact with the enemy, even in the famous Dover patrol of the last war. He knows these weeks, months, years of waiting and the self-discipline entailed.\n\nPage 10  \nPage 11",

Lat. 22°46'N.) at 12.00 hrs. on 21.10.1941 bound for Hong Kong. Altogether there were 16 persons on board including myself and the two deceased, Tsui Yum and Kwok Chi Chiu.\n\nOn 22.10.1941 at 04.00 hrs. my junk was fishing about 1 mile north of Tam Kon Shan (Long. 114°19'E. Lat. 22°4'N.). I saw a Japanese trawler approaching from the east. The trawler was painted dark grey, one funnel; when the trawler was about 150 yards away the Japanese opened fire with a machine-gun. All on board hid in the holds, and then the trawler shone a searchlight as it came closer.\n\nI saw two Japanese dressed in khaki uniform who tried to pass two ropes over to my junk. The two deceased went to the bow to try to catch hold of the two ropes from the Japanese. The searchlight was still shining and I heard one shot and both the deceased who were standing close together fell to the deck. When I reached the two deceased both were dead. The trawler sailed away in what direction I did not take any notice. Kwok Chi Chiu (deceased) was standing nearest the trawler. The shot entered the back of the neck and came out at the side of the right ear. Tsui Yum (deceased) who is my son was shot in the middle of the back with the same bullet.\n\nWe set sail and arrived at Aberdeen on 22.10.1941 at 07.30 hrs. I reported at Aberdeen Police Station at 08.30 hrs. Later the two deceased were removed by the police launch to Kowloon Public Mortuary. I was taken to the Water Police Station with three of my fokis.\n\nI always operate my junk from Aberdeen and my fishing grounds are off San Mei. My catches I sell at Aberdeen. No Japanese boarded my junk when the attack took place. My junk is not armed.

Many women have since had babies, and many have since married and since we have been here, and started their homes in the Colony - many women have obtained permission to return to the colony, but how it is done, we cannot find out, or I for one should try to get back. This week alone Mrs. Hazeland, a woman of over 70, is returning to the Colony, also a Mrs. Cameron and her infant son, and her Mother have just left for the Colony, and a Mrs. Ashby and her two children have returned to the Colony. We consider this discrimination most unfair and our husbands are all fed up too, but seem unable to do anything. I felt that if the facts were put before you, perhaps you could do something about the matter.\n\nAlso when we British women were ordered to leave the Colony, hundreds of other white women were allowed to stay, such as Americans, French and other nationals, and they can still go into the Colony; also there are thousands of half-castes and Chinese women in the Colony, yet we were deported from our own homes.\n\nThis evacuation has meant great hardship for us all - we get no financial help from the government (although I understand that Army and Navy wives are helped financially) and so it means that our husbands have two homes to keep going, and in my case and many others, it means three homes, as we have a son at school in England. Cost of living has risen very much in Hong Kong and there are more taxes now too, and most men try to give every month to the war funds; and here we also find that living is higher than we were told and everything very expensive.\n\nLife continues as usual in Hong Kong; there are big social gatherings and nothing is on a war-like footing. A new big amusement park has just been opened with the approval of the Government.\n\nWe claim that we should be allowed to return to our husbands and homes. We want to know why we could not stay and face whatever might come; we should have been given the choice of staying or leaving, the same as the women of England have been given the choice over evacuation. We too, are British women and capable of doing our bit just the same as the women at home have done and are doing; in fact, we should be happier if we could do something to help.\n\nThis breaking up of families is all wrong, and through this evacuation, many homes will be broken up - unhappiness caused through it already.\n\nThe men in Hong Kong formed a committee to try and get us back and a petition was sent to the Secretary of State, the late Lord Lloyd, but it was refused; however, the evacuation order was then cancelled, that meant no more women were evacuated, but we were not allowed to return.\n\nI quote the following from the Hong Kong Overland China Mail of the 14th May, 1941, as follows:\n\n\"Dean Wilson also visited St. Andrews to bid goodbye, but we still think his best farewell effort was his letter on the evacuation when he said that \"until the deep-seated mistrust...",

Mrs. Black comes within the second category, namely a person who had left the Colony. There is therefore a clear distinction between her case and those people to whom the Governor refers.\n\nI had assumed that the Governor was in a position to deal with her under the **Defence (Entry Restrictions) Regulations** for which there is a precedent in the case of Mrs. Blair, and which have been held to be valid by the court in Hong Kong. I hope it is not correct, as Mr. Monson thinks, that the Governor will have to use the Regulation of June, 1940, because I should feel some doubts as to its validity. If, however, as I thought Mrs. Black comes within the same category as Mrs. Blair, I do not know why one should be deported and not the other, especially as Mrs. Black's is a deliberate case of refusing to abide by an undertaking which the other case was not.\n\n13.6.41.\n\nI think action should be taken against Mr. Black.\n\n### Min Gent\n\n13.6.41\n\nI think we ... this is important.\n\nThis decision... takes ...\n\nP.T.O.",

In forwarding this, Director of Medical Services points out that on the basis of only two inoculations, yearly, additional staff as follows would be necessary: 1 Health Officer in Charge, 10 Health Officers, 40 nurses, 20 clerks: estimates cost between $450,000 to $500,000: while not minimising the value of anti-cholera inoculations in general, he does not recommend course suggested. In these circumstances G.O.C. does not favour the proposed measure.\n\nYour 3rd paragraph. I agree, though I venture to say that comment does not quite meet my point.\n\nYour paragraph 5. I am not sure how fully you are aware of the strength and extent of anti-evacuation feeling here. One of the principal cries is \"discrimination\", and in my opinion if attempt is made to expel these women, several of whom are in full-time employment, while those who defied the Government successfully last year remain here, there will be accusation of victimisation and widespread condemnation of Government action. So far as Europeans are concerned, local term \"discrimination\" has two applications: \n(1) to exemptions made here in June and July last year; \n(2) to inferred preferential treatment resulting from decision in your predecessor's telegram No. 655, which it is claimed placed evacuation on voluntary basis for recalcitrant women remaining in Hong Kong, whereas the same choice is denied to those who obeyed H.M.G.'s wishes.\n\nG.O.C. presses for action against these women and considers that \"failure on the part of the Government to take action against them has brought discredit on the Government.\" In my view, he has misread the general tenour of the criticisms which are directed against \n* (1) alleged original mishandling of evacuation and discrimination; and \n* (2) ...\n\nPage 20  \nPage 21",

Northcote), Hong Kong Registry  \n**TO:** Secretary of State for the Colonies  \n**D.** 23rd June, 1941  \n**R.** 23rd June, 1941, 22.05 hrs.\n\nYour telegram No. 563.\n\nPerson named is liable to removal under Regulation 6B of the regulations mentioned by you. There are eight other women in similar case, all having entered the Colony in transit and then refused to leave.\n\nI feel, however, that I should state certain other difficulties and doubtful points that may arise in practice if forcible removal is attempted.\n\n(a) Only one has a valid cholera inoculation certificate, and legislation enforcing inoculation with a view to deportation is undesirable. This precludes removal of others to Shanghai and Manila.\n\n(b) In any case, I doubt whether British women should be compelled to go to Shanghai or, for that matter, in the present circumstances, to Manila.\n\n(c) This leaves Australia as the only practical destination, but how far the authorities there would co-operate in forcibly detaining recalcitrant women in the Dominion is open to doubt.\n\n(d) Direct sailings to Australia are infrequent. It is to be expected that, on being warned that removal to Australia is impending, the women concerned would hide among sympathisers until the steamer had again sailed. To prevent this, prior arrest and detention would be possible, but this would mean the setting up of house detention for European women, engagement of wardresses, and so forth.\n\n(e) Several hold, and all could obtain, medical certificates from sympathetic doctors to the effect that they should remain here.\n\nAttorney-General advises against prosecution as an alternative to forcible removal, but on the grounds stated above, he is reluctant to advise the latter course.\n\nFeeling is running high among many, but far from all, husbands whose families were sent away last year. In this connection, see Norton's two points in his telegram No. 703 of last year. Nevertheless, I cannot avoid the belief that to attempt forcible removal to Australia is to court defeat and bring the Government into worse disrepute than these known evasions have caused.",

(Hotels in Montreal, for example, cost 30/- per day without food: the repatriates, even on full pay, are not equipped to face unavoidable expenditure on this scale).\n\n(a) Whether they (and their families) may be medically examined and undergo whatever treatment is necessary at government expense.\n\n(e) In the case of Mr. Morris and Sgt. Fyffe, definite arrangements for them to proceed to Australia and Scotland respectively, as soon as possible.\n\nIt is in my opinion important to convey authoritative decisions on these points to them as urgently as possible.\n\n## 7.\n\nAll complain (among other things) of loss of memory and very few were prepared to say in detail what their salaries were on December 8th, 1941. I asked each to think it over and to report what details they could by letter to the High Commissioner's office as soon as possible.\n\n## 8 \nBrief accounts of their interviews with me are attached. Except for Mrs. Zaitzeff they have little of first-rate importance to report. It is obvious that outside contacts are very scarce in the camp.\n\n## 9. \nPoints on which there was complete unanimity are as follows:\n- (a) All have been sternly warned of reprisals against those remaining in Stanley if any of the exchange prisoners talks against the Japanese or discloses information damaging to them. None of the repatriates thinks the Japanese are bluffing about this and each pleads that anything he or she says or writes may be treated with the utmost discretion. \n- (b) Conditions in the camp are very bad and are approaching a crisis with this coming winter. Further exchanges or an almost instantaneous alleviation are imperative.\n\n(c) No one in the camp has any doubt about how the war is going. None of the government servants doubts but that he and his dependents are being and will be looked after.\n\n(d) The reactions to American bombing are indescribable. The flight of the P.38's over the camp is the greatest moment in these people's lives. Asked what would have been the result had the P.38's been R.A.F. Spitfires, words failed the repatriates: I can describe their attitude to this thought only as one of awed wonder and prayer. None thinks it is feasible for planes to drop anything in the camp without previous arrangements approved by those inside.\n\n(e) All have lost weight (the average is upwards of 30 lbs. per man) and in varying degrees they suffer from impairment of vision and memory. \n- (f) All deeply appreciated (as an earnest of the authorities continuing interest in them) the fact that the Colonial Office had taken the trouble to send an officer to meet them: and all, with the exception of Dr. Greaves, are anxious to return to the Far East to attend to \"unfinished business\" as soon as may be.\n\n(g) None could suggest any new technique of raising morale in the camp. \n- (h) It was possible from what they did not say to deduce that Mr. Gimson is having a hard and thankless task as commandant of the camp. I tried without success to draw indirectly from them any suggestions for strengthening his position from the outside, vis-a-vis the rest of the internees.\n- (i) The internal politics of the camp are not worthy of repetition here but when the day of liberation comes I am afraid that the air will be thick with charges and counter-charges, and old scores to be settled.\n\n(j) Mr. Zindle, the Red Cross representative is no good. The general feeling is that, great as the difficulties are, a more resolute man would achieve far greater results.\n\n64251-1",

Sergeant Mann, making full allowance for all his many difficulties, says that he is no good. One of the difficulties seems to be that the Japanese Foreign Affairs Department in Hong Kong does not recognise that the Swiss Legation in Tokyo represents British interests in the captured territory of Hong Kong.\n\nSergeant Mann, whose duties prior to the war were in the Special Branch (Japanese) of the Police Force, speaks both Japanese and Cantonese. He was twice questioned by the Japanese as to his former activities, once in regard to a spy case in 1938 where he had figured prominently. The suspected spy on that occasion, whom Sergeant Mann had questioned repeatedly and at length, turned out to be a Lieutenant-General in the Gendarmerie and it was this Lieutenant-General himself who sent for Sergeant Mann and, in his turn, questioned him. The Japanese appeared to be moved by personal curiosity only. He wanted to know how Sergeant Mann had got on to him in 1938. The Sergeant parried and stalled to the best of his ability and in the end the interview terminated amicably. The Lieutenant-General complimented Sergeant Mann on his courtesy and consideration during the 1938 case. On the second occasion, Sergeant Mann was questioned in the Foreign Affairs Department and asked to arrange for the transfer of the Hong Kong Police Alien Registration records to the Japanese Department; having secured R. Pennefeather-Evans' approval of what was by then a harmless task, he went ahead as ordered by the Japanese and on completion of the job was returned to Stanley.\n\nIn view of his special qualifications, there is a prospect of Sergeant Mann being offered employment with one of the Canadian war agencies: I told him to report this to Ottawa and to await further instructions from London.\n\nMiss E. C. K. Clarke (wife of Sergeant David Clarke)\n\nMrs. Mann was married in 1941. She has been employed for ten years as a confidential secretary in the Hong Kong Civil Service; she is still a member of that Service. She qualifies, I think, for the normal marriage gratuity which has not yet been paid to her owing to the exigencies of war; she also continues on the payroll as the Government refused her resignation in 1941.\n\nShe awaits further instructions.\n\n# Page 10",

        "content_text": "# \nGas stoves are unobtainable and electric current is rigidly controlled. Penalties for exceeding the meagre allowance are severe and most people sit long periods in darkness, or with one candle if they can obtain it, to avoid incurring them. Public transport is cut to the minimum. Buses have been taken off the road and trams run on a much reduced schedule; they are always overcrowded owing to the fact that all Japanese in uniform (i.e. practically all Japanese in Hong Kong) are entitled to travel free. In Kowloon, transport is reduced to rickshaws, horse-drawn vehicles (apparently using specially imported Mongolian ponies) and bicycles; with the bicycles, the technique is for the coolie to ride, carrying his passenger astride in the carrier.\n\n## \nGovernment House is being rebuilt in an exaggerated style of Japanese architecture, presumably as the official residence of the Governor.\n\nFerries are run on a half-hour service except in rush hours when the schedule is every twenty minutes; sail-driven junk ferries have also made their appearance. There are very few cars in the streets: Kotowall and Shou-Son-Chow, who seem to vie with each other in pro-Japanese fervour and anti-British advocacy, are two rare exceptions to the rule that no one in Hong Kong now runs a car. These two gentlemen are much in the public eye. The Kotowall girls are among the few women who seem able to shop for anything save the bare necessities of life. (Mrs. Zaitzeff adds grimly that the other non-essential shoppers are the prostitutes from Wanchai). Some significance may attach to the fact that the three remaining Zimmern brothers, one of whom is engaged to the younger Kotowall daughter, have now been released from internment. (Two of the original five Zimmern brothers were killed defending Hong Kong.)\n\n## \nThe Police have been reinforced by fresh Chinese contingents drawn apparently from the north. Since the first American bombings, the Indian police have grown markedly more polite to foreigners. At first, they were hostile: now Mrs. Zaitzoff frequently finds on pushing her way on to a crowded train that an Indian constable will instantly rise and offer her his seat, regardless whether Japanese are present or not. Shortly after the first American bombings, also a strange metamorphosis was observed in the Japanese Commandant of the Shan-Shiu-Po Volunteer Internment Camp. This gentleman, for the first time in eighteen months, suddenly became concerned whether his prisoners had sufficient shelter from driving rain or beating sun: forthwith had a near-by godown opened and cleared and arranged to let his charges shelter there if the rain was too heavy or the sun too hot.\n\n## \nCinemas are open in the town and show either Japanese films or pictures of the triumphs of Wang Ching Wei; when the show is frankly propagandist, admittance is free to all. Many posters have been affixed to buildings in busy parts of the town: those depict a Chinese mother standing in an attitude of protection over her children while glancing fearfully at the sky. The caption reads \"Remember that it is American planes which are killing innocent women and children\". So far as Mrs. Zaitzoff could see, those posters had no appeal whatsoever. The bombings are in fact welcomed, even when a near-miss at the Central Police Station killed upwards of 150 Chinese, including children. The successful bombing of the oil tanks at Laichi Kok was a seven-day wonder in the town. Few ships now enter the harbour: those that do frequently anchor close to the Sham-Shui-Po internment camp, presumably on the theory that they won't be bombed. The bombings have also caused a good deal of labour trouble, especially at the docks: the workers walked out and held firm against a threat of starvation. Finally, a compromise was reached whereby they now work from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. (bomb-free hours).\n\n56\n\n## \nOnly two of the air raid tunnels appear to be in use: one which opens below Battery Path behind the Hong Kong Bank; the other on Queens Road East at the entrance to Wanchai. Both are reserved for Japanese: guards at the entrances permit no one else to enter during raids, and in fact, no non-Japanese now attempts it. All large buildings in the city are being sand-bagged and the entrances protected with brick screens made from the blocks used in 1941 by the Colonial Government to construct blast-shelters for the public in open spaces. Those shelters have now been dismantled.\n\nMrs. Zaitzoff had no opportunity to see the New Territories, but they are said to be deserted, partly owing to fear of bandits and partly owing to the difficulty of getting supplies. In Kowloon, the section between the Old Kowloon Police Station and Kai Tak had been laid flat to permit an extension of the airport. Only three old planes appear to use Kai Tak regularly, and on each occasion, they have been observed to take off and disappear some minutes before the air raid warning is given.\n\n## \nAs to Zindle, Mrs. Zaitzoff considers him sincere but ineffectual through lack of courage and resolution. Mrs. Zaitzoff worked for many months on a scheme hatched by Dr. Selwyn Clarke whereby she, and a dozen Chinese ladies, called twice weekly at a local hospital, and then picked up and delivered to the camp parcels of food and medicines ostensibly addressed to individuals as presents from friends. The parcels were collected in the first instance from funds which Dr. Selwyn Clarke had persuaded...\n\n64251-1\n\n28",

        "content_text": "57\n\nCertain wealthy Chinese to make available.\n\nOnly one of Mrs. Zaitzoff's friends has had a glimpse of Dr. Selwyn Clarke since his arrest: he was exercising in the prison yard at Stanley, supported by two guards and looking in bad shape.\n\nDependents of volunteers still interned who have hitherto been paid 50 yen a month, with 30 yen for the first child plus 20 yen for each additional child, have now been ordered to proceed to the Seminary on Stubbs Road (the section known, I think, as Rosary Hill) for internment. The diet is to be the same as for Stanley and Dr. Canaval and his wife, Dr. Helen Canaval, have been instructed to act as medical supervisors. The Canavals have made attempts to be allowed to remain in Stanley, thus far without success. Incidentally it is interesting to hear that the Chinese volunteers who were released from internment came out most reluctantly: first because, poorly as they ate inside the camp, they were not sure of eating at all outside; and second because they had no desire to work for the Japanese.\n\nThere are a fairly large number of short wave transmitters still in use in the Colony. They seem to be concealed mostly in attics and in basements (the Sham Shui Po camp had two, one of which is still working). Mrs. Zaitzoff had no trouble at all in getting up-to-date news from her friends. The stations most listened to are B.B.C. through New Delhi, Chung King, San Francisco and the Russian station in Shanghai.\n\nOn one point Mrs. Zaitzoff was emphatic. She found the prevailing feeling in the Colony to be a longing for the British to return and convert Hong Kong back to something approaching its former state. They regard the days gone by as a sort of golden age and their hopes and prayers are fixed on their return. I questioned Mrs. Zaitzoff very closely on this. She stuck to it that it was the British they wanted (not American and not Allied) and she repeated that the feeling was very general. This contradicts opinions expressed by other members of the Hong Kong party; but Mrs. Zaitzoff was in a better position to form an accurate judgement and her account carries a certain weight. She also said that no Chinese had any doubt about how the war was going or how it would end. They are well abreast of the news.\n\n64251-1\n\n29",

She sought permission one day from the Japanese authorities to have her baby shown to its imprisoned father. The request was summarily and brutally rejected and Mrs. Zaitzoff returned to her rickshaw outside Japanese Headquarters in a distressed condition. Several times on the way to the ferry the rickshaw coolie ventured a backward glance at her tears; having deposited her at the pier and made certain that no one was observing him, he gruffly refused to accept her fare for which previously he had driven a hard bargain.\n\n58\n\nThe other incident concerns a Chinese who won the largest cash sweep of the day at one of the recent race meetings: the total was in the neighbourhood of $75,000 yen. On going to collect his money he was first \"invited\" to donate 75% of it to Japanese military charities and then severely warned to be careful how he spent the balance - no jewellery or canned goods or luxuries. And then, just to make sure, his house was unceremoniously entered and searched several times on the following weeks to make sure that he had not bought and concealed anything in disregard of Japanese orders.\n\n\"People,\" Mrs. Zaitzoff repeated, \"want Hong Kong back just as it was before.\"\n\n64251-1\n\n30",

        "content_text": "# REPORT OF MESSRS. W. VALLESSUK, H. KVAMSO, and R. BRODERSEN.\n\n## ESCAPE FROM HONG KONG.\n\nCaptain H. KVAMSO and the undersigned had for some time been discussing the possibilities of getting away from Hong Kong. The inactivity and the complete waste of time had for months caused depression and dissatisfaction among the unfortunate people in Hong Kong. The wildest rumours went around, particularly after each escape from the various Camps or from other parts of Hong Kong.\n\nThe first difficulty to overcome was to get in touch with the right people, and in the end, I was fortunate enough to contact Mr. MONAGHAN, who is carrying on his own broker business. As Captain KVAMSO and myself approached Mr. MONAGHAN on the 3rd of February 1943, he told us that he was making arrangements for a Russian Radio Engineer, Mr. W. VALLESSUK, who intended to get away on or about the 10th of February, as arrangements for his escape had already been made from WAICHOW, and that another two people might be included in the same scheme. From that moment everything went according to plan, without a hitch.\n\nOn Wednesday, the 10th of February, 1943, all three of us arranged to meet at some Norwegian friends' house, 226 Prince Edward Road, Kowloon. At 5 p.m. two Chinese turned up. We left the house and followed the Chinese up to a certain house on TAI PO ROAD. From there, one Chinese took us back to Hong Kong by the Star Ferry, caught the tram car down to SHAUKIMAN. There was a blackout, and plenty of searchlights were in action. We jumped off the tram somewhere between Taikoo Road and Shaukiwan terminus, were met by another Chinese who led us down a narrow dark lane. Two sampans were waiting; we jumped on board, lay down flat, face down, and off we went quickly but swiftly, straight across the harbour. After 28 minutes of intense anxiety, we reached the shore on the other side at CHOI KI LEN. Shortly afterwards, a group of armed Chinese turned up. At first, we thought they were Japanese but on closer examination, I noticed that one of them was wearing a Chinese uniform, and that settled our doubts. After half an hour's march along the shore and up through a valley, we arrived at a small village, MAH LAU TONG, where a nice Chinese meal was prepared for us. There we were introduced to KONG SHUI, the Guerilla Chief. After the meal, we proceeded to another village half an hour further along. There we were put up for the night and spent the whole of the next day inside the house. At dusk, our guide, KONG CHUN HON, turned up with our baggage. He had been walking overland with it.\n\nOn we went from there down to the beach, took a sampan across JUNK BAY to HANG HOW, where we had a cup of hot coffee to cheer us up. Walking over the hills of the peninsula we eventually came to another boat, this time a bigger junk, sailing between the islands along the shore, and at 2 a.m. stepped ashore. Had half an hour's walk up to a small village where we were put up for the night. Spent the next day inside or in the immediate vicinity of the house. Were introduced to HENRY TAM, the local Guerilla Chief. He tried to impress us with original letters written by people who have escaped before, and we had to sign a letter of appreciation for the assistance granted us so far. At about 8 p.m. we started off on the toughest part of the journey, a 2 hour's walk over some high mountains down to a village on MIRS BAY. Armed sentries met us, and an escort of six went with us on the junk. Got past the dangerous point of KUN MOON, but no Japanese vessels were to be seen. At a few miles from the other shore, we were transferred to a small sailing sampan, and after nearly 2 hours in penetrating cold and pitch darkness, we anchored up in the bay on the Free China side of MIRS BAY. Stayed on board until daybreak. Got ashore, passed through the Chinese fort, and walked up along to SHAYUCHUNG, where we were met by a couple of runners sent down from WAICHOW. Thence by chair to TAMSHUI, where we stayed overnight in a Chinese Hotel.\n\nPage 151",

RIDE.\n\n79\n\nFrom interviews with Volunteer Escapees, we have learned that many people in Hongkong know that I am here and that there is some sort of British Army organisation based here, but apparently no details are known; it must therefore be assumed that the Japanese also know of us, because we have the names of a number of 5th columnists amongst the Volunteers. We are taking great care to detect signs of people amongst the refugees who may have been sent out specially to contact us.\n\nThe first on the list comes Mrs. Kendall. She and Miss Constance Lum were the only Chinese permitted by the Japanese to live on the Peak. Before the war she was closely connected with Dr. Selwyn-Clarke - Director of Medical Services - through her husband who worked with Clarke on a number of schemes. She is clever, cunning, crooked and unscrupulous to a degree and has gained great commendation from all the people in Hongkong by remaining free and helping the internees by playing up to the Japs and beating them at their own game; my view of the position is that anyone who carries out work (no matter how humane) for the enemy is liberating one more Japanese to fight against us; Clarke is doing this work to save his own skin and saved the discomfort of the concentration camp; and what price does he pay? He still has a room in his old office along with Colonel Eguchi, and his lady friend, Miss Constance Lum, is living in his old house on the Peak, which is officially occupied by Colonel Eguchi. Mrs. Kendall states that the Japanese Colonel never lived there too, but they occupied the house although he was going to do so in the summer; Mrs. Kendall and Miss Lum used to go up and down in a car supplied by the Japanese M.E.D. and the former has told me of dinner parties in the house attended by both Clarke and Eguchi.\n\nThe Japanese have not made concessions to Clarke on this scale for nothing and it was through him that Mrs. K. proposed making all her contacts with the camps! She wanted to come and live in the new house here (Alan was asked to approach me about it but I turned it down) and do all our typing; she knows far too much about the group and asks far too many indiscreet questions about our organisation. Her statements about Scriven talking too much are not absolutely true, because some of the information she alleged was definitely not in Scriven's possession.\n\nShe has helped out by the Tommies; two officers came to the border to see her safely through.\n\nPage 80\nPage 81",

Alabaster and secretaries, (with the exception of Miss Harrop) were brought into internment About 15.3.42. Previously no contact between Fraser at Stanley end Secretariat for some weeks**\".\n\n## Paragraph 11\nI have typed on a separate piece of paper with extra copies in case you consider it advisable to let the Dutch and American Embassies have copies.\n\n## Paragraph 12\nPersons not interned. Thompson's notes read \"**Very few - Dr. and Mrs. Selwyn Clerk (Dr. Selwyn Clerk is Director Medical Services in Hongkong or was) were still out when we left but reported that he was anticipating early internment at Stanley. I must mention the splendid work Selwyn Clark has been doing. We have to thank him for a regular if small ration of bread daily. Also for outside news earlier on, before the Japanese closed down on him visiting the Camp. Also for the work he and certain doctors and health officers have been doing to clean up Hongkong - The men in North Point Camp have to thank friend Dr. George Ingram Shaw for the work he did cleaning up the fly menace in that area - Selwyn Clark has worked magnificently - I wish I could say the same for all Heads of Departments. Apart from Selwyn Clark there are a few officers of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and National City Bank out still. I know nothing of their circumstances except that they are confined in some Chinese Hotel and marched to and from Office daily**\". \n\nSome of the Chase Bank Staff as well are also out and I understand all the Bankers not interned are in the Sai or Mee Chow Hotel. I am not quite sure of this name but it sounds like that. Thompson goes on to say \"**Dr. Mackie and one or two other doctors are out - I cannot recollect their names. Lynne Jones and four or five BW men are also at liberty. I don't know why or how Arthur Lay is with Lynne Jones**\".\n\n## Paragraph 13 - Conditions of Europeans since fall of Hongkong\nI will give you Thompson's notes here. I have written quite a lot but I, after being turned out of the building in which I was by the Japanese, went off up the Peak as I did not like the idea of going into a Chinese Hotel, particularly as they told me I was to go in with forty other women and I understood the Japanese Army was in the next building but one. At this time, it was not compulsory to go into the Chinese Hotels; it was just a case of finding somewhere to go when you found yourself sitting with your baggage in the street.\n\nThompson's notes, which you will recall are addressed in letter form to me, read \"**For the first week, nothing much happened; we more or less stayed where we were. The Police Force, as you will recollect, was in the Gloucester Hotel - then orders came to report at Murray Parade Ground with 'What you can carry'. We stayed put, but the British etc. who went were marched off in droves to Chinese Hotels along Connaught Road. Conditions in these Hotels were disgraceful. 5, 6 and 7 people to a small cubicle, men, women and children all mixed up; no exercise permitted; food revoltingly cooked and very short. People slept where they could, and got in extra food from outside according as they could afford it. They were without bedding and most without beds; no effort was made to supply the common decencies of life. About 3/1/42, the Police Force was marched off - 123 of us to the Luk Hoi Tung Hotel, the rest elsewhere. We had the foresight to take as much as we could with us in the way of food, clothing and bedding, with coolie assistance at prohibitive rates. There we were incarcerated for three weeks**\".",

We are reported to be holding our own, but I fail to see how we can in view of the large numbers of enemy troops on the island. We are vastly outnumbered.\n\nLooters are rife. Wherever enemy troops have been, looters have followed and stripped everything. Telephone communications are also interrupted. Lines are down and telephones to private houses have been cut off to facilitate connections to military and necessary essential services.\n\nStreets downtown and Central market district machine-gunned by planes and rice queues machine-gunned.\n\n23rd December, 1941.\n\nL.L. appeared today. Reports she was stranded at A.R.P. post in Happy Valley. Tells me Ah Sze has been killed and bayonetted/raped. 14 people in Tang's flat bayonetted, including Lam Min Fan and Lam's eldest son. 40 people killed altogether in our house, including Leung (from 42C) of Chu King Govt. Wong (Ministry of Communications) also seriously wounded. She also reports that looters have broken into the flat and stripped it of everything; there is nothing left. Mafoos from Jockey Club appear to be largely to blame for looting. Ah Sze's death confirmed by Felix Mody.\n\nReports from L.L. of raping of women at Race Course Emergency Hospital. C.G. escaped by fainting. Miss H. raped three times and is in serious condition.\n\nRecaptured Mount Cameron and situation once more reported in hand, although further landings are reported at Repulse Bay and Stanley.\n\nCannot confirm story of wholesale killing at B.P. Road. Tang reported safe at Eu Tong Sen's house.\n\nLate this evening, contacted Tang who told me the story. A party of several (number unknown) enemy troops arrived at the house at about 10.0 pm. Thinking they were looters, Tang refused to open the door. Troops broke open the door and entered. Lined up women on one side of the room and men on the other. Marched the men outside and lined them up (facing the nullah which runs alongside the house) and used bayonets on them. No shots were fired. Tang fell into the nullah and managed to crawl inside it, where he stayed until the troops had left, and then managed to make his escape. The women were all raped, including his wife and my amah. His wife and my amah many times. The same thing happened at Hsu's house in the next block. Mrs. Hsu, however, was saved by her chauffeur, who claimed her as his wife. Cannot find amah.\n\n24th December, 1941.\n\nXmas Eve and what a thought. Bombings and shelling all day. M.K. came in today and the plans for certain events were discussed in my room between M.K. and S.K. Yee. (Details of this cannot be written down). The police have suddenly had their militia status cancelled. I hear it is due to the fact that several of the Supers. have objected and sent in a petition; they do not want to be treated as troops and refuse to fire on Japs. Do not wish to be treated as combatants. Special order from The Gov. changing their status back to normal. Great deal of discord and dissatisfaction amongst them.\n\n25th December, 1941.\n\nSomething strange; after the first early morning bombing, there has been quiet. No shelling or very little. About 11:30, Peggy Sharp came in and told me there was a two-hour armistice. Nobody seems to know the reason. Just after lunch, somebody brought in a Chinese baby which had been abandoned at No. 2 police station. They evacuated the station today for the second time. They have held it for several days but have been ordered to leave it today. Went down to find a woman to take care of the child.",

She was a slight, slender woman, with beautifully strong capable hands, that knew how to handle babies, holding them gently in the curve of her arm. She had a book or papers; they had nothing. Black eyes snapped as she told the story.\n\nShe had got a very definite amount of fun in her encounter with the Japanese, and laughed softly about it.\n\nThey had taken the wealthy Chinese away next day, and when he was returned a week later both his thumbnails were gone, burned off with electric needles, and he shuddered when he talked about the Japanese. His wife was a rather pretty French woman in her late twenties. She had been living in an apartment not far from the Convent, with the four children, all pretty little things, two girls and two tiny boys. Earlier on, about four weeks before, the Chinese husband had been away and she had been alone with the children and some servants in the apartment. Gendarmerie officers had discovered her, and after two weeks, in desperation she had gone to the Mother Superior of the Convent and begged her to take them in, saying that she would kill herself otherwise. That is the sort of thing that is going on in Hong Kong. And no one knows what the husband had to pay to get away. Some say $30,000, some say a good deal more. It is a painful business being a rich Chinese in Hong Kong these days.\n\n**By Base**\n\nSir Arthur and Lady Blackburn were at the French Hospital on the 22nd, returning to Stanley on the 23rd. Sir Arthur had been for some time in the Tweed Bay Hospital, as he had been far from well, and was brought in for X-ray of his injured leg. Through a misunderstanding they had been told to pack up their belongings and be ready for a trip to Shanghai. On their arrival at the hospital, they found that this was not correct, and Sir Arthur begged to be allowed to stay over an extra day and to be permitted to see Mr. Oda. Unfortunately Dr. Selwyn-Clarke could not see his way to doing this and they were taken, bag and baggage, back to Stanley at 2 o'clock. I arrived from St. Stephen's at 4 o'clock and was very sorry indeed to miss them. I particularly wanted to see them and try and persuade them to come to the French Hospital, from Stanley Prison. I felt sure in view of the very great kindness shown me by Mr. Oda, that he would extend the same privileges to the Blackburns and wanted to see them to make sure that they would come before taking the matter up with Mr. Oda, because I had heard that Sir Arthur refused to leave Stanley as long as the Riches and Vans remained there.\n\nLady Blackburn left a note for me to thank me for parcels of food I had sent out to them. She said they were entirely without money and greatly appreciated what I had sent. And that they found it difficult to share a room with eight people and a baby without friction. This from Lady Blackburn, who is one of the kindest and sweetest tempered of women, surprised me. She would rather die than complain.\n\nI have heard since from a number of people who saw the Blackburns frequently in Stanley, and in particular, from Mrs. Knapper who played bridge often with Lady Blackburn, that they are in the dining room of a flat. That there are eight people in the room and a baby, that the quarreling in the room seems to be directed against the Blackburns due to the inferiority complex of a Mrs. Wait, that life is being made unbearable for them by this woman, that the Blackburns have just the corner of the room occupied by their own three-quarter bed, with no privacy whatsoever. This bed is without a mattress, just bare boards covering the springs, with a steamer rug over it. And that they did not know what they would have done without the food I had been sending them regularly. This news reached me after we embarked on the same Maru. But Dr. Court, the Superintending doctor in charge of the French Hospital, came to tea with me the day after I arrived there, together with Dr. Griffith and Mr. Vane. He had decided to operate on Arthur and ...",

Later when my turn came to be examined he brought over the Gendarm in charge and talkedwith him in Japanese, flicking through the despatch box of papers, and the other cases and not bothering about the bad rolls at all. \n\nI wan passed without a word, papers and all. I could have smuggled out any amount of things. Some peoplewere searched very carefully indeed, Mr. Neprad, in particular, also r. Gibson. But Mr. Oda, knowing me, had again seen to it that I was looked after. \n\nOur journey the next day by bus from the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank was a most interesting one, all the way to Stanley Prison where we were aghin examined and embarked on the Asama Maru. \n\nBut before I go on to it I wish to put in a bit about Bir Vande leur Grayburn and his wife, and conditions under which they are all living at the Sun Wah Hotel. I saw Lady Grayburn several times, and made a special trip to the hotel to see for myself how things were, In fact, what I have written here is practically all what I have seen with my own eyes. I have heard so many things, often from first hand witnesses, but have not put them in. I saw the Grayburns on the Sunday before we left, we went on Monday and I had gone over to see Mr. and Mrs. Compton to say goodbye and found them there. \n\nThey are so very very bitter about things, so terribly bitter. Sir Vandeleur has lost 55 pounds, and looks as gaunt and gray as a timber wolf. He hates the Japanese so that he can scarcely speak of them, although he speaks of them all the time. He would exterminate the race if he could. The cubicle they live in at the Sun Wah Hotel is exactly 7 x 9 feet, and has a tiny washbasin with cold water in one corner. It is inside a long very narrow room, all cubicles of the same sort, with narrow passage way running from a small front verandah to the rear of the building. How those people stand it in the 'heat of a Hongkong surmer is more than I can understand. In fact there not standing it at all. They were falling ill, and ten of them went down the week before I'left, and four had to be brought to hospital. There seems to be a sort of jaundice going around among them, and a fever of unknown origin. They are all so mutinous at the treatment they are receiving that they are threatening to go on strike and refuse to do any banking work at all. \n\nBir Vandeleur receives $200 a month. He is the last person to be allowed contact with the Japanese, he hates them so. Mr. D.C.Davis, who is I understand No. 3 in the Bank is doing invaluable work as liaison an, he is well liked by the Japanese, is outstandingly sensib e, efficient and helpful, and the Japanese all respect him and like him, and he is sent for about everything. \n\n• \n\nAfter all, it is worth having a man like that to handle difficult matters. The British are entirely in the hands of the Japanese, who can inflict the most unbearable inhumanities on them if they wish. So many things need adjustment, and can be adjusted and put right by men with peralatence, tact and patience. We owe a great debt of gratitude to Mr. Gibson, and the bank people to \"r. Davis. A good liaison man is invaluable. \n\nAnd at this point some mention should be made of Dr.Selwyn-Clark. He is a strange character. His enemies fear and hate him, they say that every thing he has done has been with an eye to the gallery, that he is working with one aim and one sim only, to receive a decoration after the war from the British Government. He is known as Sir Percy. reputed to never do anything in a sté Ight way if it can be done by devious methods. They say so many things against him, particularly the people of his own group. And the Japanese treat him with the scantiest regard, he has to swallow humiliation after humiliation, the Japanese are good at making people lose face. And yet he keeps on and on. He gets milk, what the re is of it, for the hospitals still open, and bread, and anything else he can think of. He has established himse \n\nHe is \n\n\nHospital,",

It appears that as soon as the Japanese came, the workers started looting and took away all valuables from the offices. Unfortunately they were not apparently interested in drawings or plans which they left scattered on the floors. The foremen appear to have worked under some arrangement whereby the tools were their property, probably it was merely their responsibility that no tools were stolen. In any event it is asserted that because they had tools stored in the Dockyard they all went back to work for the Japanese. The Japanese policy was to first employ the number one of each department plus a token staff. These men spent almost a month getting ready to re-start work. At the end of this period work was started. See special report and map.\n\nINDIAN S.\n\nThe Indians are now in the words of one refugee \"belong one people\". In other words they are receiving excellent treatment from the Japanese.

The Japanese appear to be using them cleverly as a battering ram.\n\nAn Indian Independence League was formed at a very early date by one MOBIL KHAN, who came to Hong Kong after the surrender. He appointed two people to run the League No. 1 D.M. Khan (late H.F. Medical Dept.) and ATIK resident of Hong Kong. It is rumoured that C.J. Ruttojee, his son, Abbas Khan and Ferozali (Supt. of Mails) and some 16 other Indians were arrested at 0400 hrs. on 30th March because they refused to join the Independence League. To have no knowledge of how long they were detained.\n\nA refugee states that on two separate occasions he saw Indian soldiers drilling on Murray Barracks parade ground under a Japanese officer and Chinese Interpreter who gave the orders in English. This is not confirmed by any other sources at the moment.\n\nPage 160\n\nPage 161",

He gives us his source \"a friend recently arrived from Hong Kong.\" (Note. The Lingnan University has had hospitality in Hong Kong since the taking of Canton in 1938.)\n\nJ. A. KEMPF, Reformed Presbyterian Mission, Takhing, West River, which is in Kwantung not very far from Hong Kong, says on 9.2.42 that Chinese who have drifted down from Hong Kong report that all missionaries are concentrated at a large missionary boarding house in Kowloon under restrictions. The food supply is very short and many Chinese are starving. He makes no mention of any atrocities or ill-treatment.\n\n\"MARY\", writing from Kukong, N. Kwantung on 11.2.42 states that some British men who had escaped had arrived there and she mentions one of the men referred to in para 8 above. She confirms their report exactly and adds that medicine is denied to sick men.\n\nROCLR ARNOLL of Y. M. C. A., Kweiyang on 19.3.42 says that more Britishers have escaped from Hong Kong, which is marvelous as the internment camps are on the island. They say little about how they got away, presumably not to cramp the style of future escapers. He makes no mention at all of conditions there or of atrocities.\n\nMRS. H. W. WORLEY writing on 1.3.42 from Foochow says that reports from Hong Kong as to the treatment of the 'whites' there are pretty terrible. One of the seminary graduates had arrived from Hong Kong the previous day. He had left on June 23rd and said that hundreds of British and American and Dutch men had been sent to Formosa for hard labour. Conditions were pretty bad. (Note. This Formosa story has been printed in a paper in Halay some time ago, I believe early in January, but I have not heard it elsewhere.)\n\nThere are five writers who give no source for their statements. MISS C. H. GREEN of the Methodist Hospital, Kunning, says on 18.2.42 \"news had come through that day that thirty of the H. K. Electric Co. staff had been lined up and beheaded... the Japs went to the hospitals and raped all the foreign nurses. Those who made a fuss were taken out and shot..... many of our men were bound hand and foot and bayonetted through their middles. It was a common sight to see Britishers being slapped in the face by Japanese sentries for failing to salute.\" This lady is probably a missionary and will certainly hear rumours among the Chinese. It is not so likely that she has actually met British escapers, as the missionaries in Kunming used to have little social contact with the British circle there, and if she had had first-hand news, she surely would have been more definite about her source. Experience has shown in this war that the Chinese are very susceptible to rumours and that rumours move and grow among them very fast indeed. The hospital story is an easy step from a report of the two authentic cases given above.\n\nCIRUTH E. BANKIRK of Chengtu, Szechuan in the far West, gives as her source unspecified eyewitnesses, \"both foreign and Chinese\". She writes on 28.2.42 that these people who have escaped \"tell everything that is happening to foreigners and Chinese in Hong Kong - a repetition of N.anking. Truck loads of foreign women taken to the Japanese barracks. One Chinese man protesting against the rape of foreign women got his eyes gouged out so that he would not see what was happening and then when they finished with the women he was killed.\" She recounts a case of rape and murder in a Chinese household. It seems unlikely that this American (her English betrays this) lady missionary in so distant a place has had personal contacts with escapers, the reference...",

I can assure you that your report has been very interesting to us and has definitely added details to our necessarily scanty knowledge of what happened in the last hours of resistance at Hong Kong just over a year ago. For instance, we have been rather puzzled by the appearance among the civilian internees at Stanley of the names of some men whom we know were in combatant forces, like the Volunteers. Your story of events at Repulse Bay now makes it clear how they got there. Again, we know that the Japanese had sent one of their \"peace offers\" on Christmas Day to the Governor through a member of the Executive Council whom they had taken prisoner. We were not aware before that this was Mr. Shields.\n\nI will try and see if the Military Authorities here can contact Sapper Bob Heath's family and let them know of your generous tribute to his conduct at Repulse Bay.\n\nOur Enquiries and Casualties department state that your husband's name is included in the list of civilians interned at Stanley Camp which has recently been telegraphed by the Japanese Prisoners-of-war Bureau at Tokyo. No further information has yet been received but they have noted your address in their records so that you will now be kept informed of any further news.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nMRS. ALOHA R.

They were also told of the great strength of the Japanese Army on the island and how much of the island they already held. Mr. Shields and Major Manners estimated that there were at least 20,000 Japanese soldiers on the island and they were all splendidly equipped. As the Japanese General had made such a point of the bad treatment the Japanese internees were getting at British hands, Mr. Shields insisted on getting a statement from the Japanese Counsel. Mr. Pennyfeather-Evans, Commissioner of Police, volunteered to get this which he did and Mr. Shields was able to take that statement back to the Japanese General who seemed to be impressed with it. After considerable discussion, the Governor told Mr. Shields that he refused to surrender and he and Major Manners left to take the message to the Japanese General.\n\nWe were afterward told by members of the Defense Council, interned with us at Stanley, that after Mr. Shields and Major Manners left Government House, they remained in session and that within a very short time the Governor decided to surrender to the Japanese, which he did himself at three o'clock that afternoon. When Mr. Shields and Major Manners returned to North Point and told of the failure of their mission, the interpreter told Mr. Shields that it was not the custom of the Japanese to thank anyone, but that the General considered a very brave act had been performed by Mr. Shields and Major Manners. He said the General desired to know if there was anything he could do for them. Mr. Shields asked that our home at 37 Repulse Bay Road be preserved and Major Manners asked the same for his apartment in Kowloon. They readily agreed to this and gave assurance that nothing would happen to either of these places. The reliability of the Japanese word can be estimated by the fact that our home and that of Major Manners were among the worst looted in the Colony.\n\nThe Japanese General then said that all the people then held in the Duro Paint Company were not prisoners but were in the Japanese custody for their own safety and said they were sending us to Kowloon to the Peninsula hotel, which is the best hotel in the Colony, where we would be well taken care of. We were put in trucks and driven to the Taikoo docks where we were put on horse barges and sent over to Kowloon. When we got there they again put us on trucks and we were driven for hours all over Kowloon for the delectation of the Chinese. They then drove us to the Peninsula Hotel where we started to disembark but they started off with us again and finally arrived at the Kowloon Hotel, which was nothing more than a brothel. We were taken out there and herded into the large lounge. A Japanese spokesman got up and told us that we were prisoners of war, that we were in a Japanese Concentration Camp and that they would give us some food, for which we would have to pay, that we must hold no communication whatsoever with the outside world and that we must obey absolutely the gendarmes or we would be shot. I think that was the worst moment we had gone through. Everyone was absolutely crushed and frightened. As the first and second floors of the hotel were already occupied with prisoners taken in Kowloon, we were sent to the third floor where we were put as many in a room as the room could possibly hold. They then told us it was too late to give us any dinner, so",

The important thing however, in the event of Hong Kong falling into enemy hands will be that the effective control of the operations of the Bank outside Hong Kong should be in non-enemy territory and it is obviously preferable that that control should be exercised in London. Morse has therefore been authorised to assume immediately position of Acting Chief Manager and is telegraphing to all branches in following terms. Begins.\n\nUnder authorisation of Government and in accordance with Grayburn's wishes received from Governor of Hong Kong as a temporary measure London Office becomes Head Office and I have taken charge as Acting Chief Manager. Re foregoing no further instructions to be taken from Hong Kong until authorised from here. Advise your agencies and acknowledge receipt of this message by cable. Ends.\n\nPublic announcement is being made accordingly.\n\nMorse is confident that branches will accept this arrangement but in due course Morse's actions will have to be validated either by subsequent confirmation by Grayburn as substantive Chief Manager or by legislation either in the form of a Hong Kong Ordinance or an Imperial Order in Council. Immediate legislation does not appear to be necessary.\n\n(Sent via War Office and G.O.C. Hong Kong)",

Cash borrowed from the Hong Kong Bank was at the rate of 4HKS to 1M.Y.\n\nHowever, I can remember that M.Y.23,650 (i.e. HK$94,600) was sent to Government Servants in STANLEY and passed on to Mr. E.W. Pudney.\n\nI cannot remember how much was sent to Prisoners-of-War Camps, but I do know that the balance with me at the time of Dr. Selwyn-Clarke's arrest was HK$4,400.00 (M.Y.1,100.00) and that the sum of HK$31,760.00 (M.Y.7,940.00) was owed to Dr. Selwyn-Clarke and that I intended getting sufficient cash from the Hong Kong Bankers to repay Dr. Selwyn-Clarke. He had to seize every opportunity of sending cash to Shamshuipo Camp and was unable to wait until he could get it from me.\n\nThe loan of HK$10,000.00 for sending to Prisoners-of-War Camps was also received from Mr. E. Landau (Approved by Hon. Colonial Secretary).\n\nThe record I was keeping in a code, known only to myself, was destroyed as soon as I was informed by Dr. Selwyn-Clarke that the Japanese were in the building looking for him.\n\nNO.5 ACCOUNT\n\nWhen the Foreign Auxiliary funds which were used for the purchase of Milk for Camps (See Account No.9) were exhausted the sum of HK$40,000.00 was borrowed from the Hong Kong Bank and used so that this service should not be discontinued.\n\nNO.6 ACCOUNT\n\nNo balance.\n\nA reserve of HK$80,000 (M.Y.20,000.00) was kept hidden in the French Hospital to be available at any time in case the Red Cross Delegate was unable to keep up payments to dependants. This cash which was received from Hong Kong Bank was left with Sister Camille of the French Hospital to be given to Miss Helen Ho for sending parcels to the Prisoners-of-War Hospital. Miss Ho received this money and used it as directed. See letter attached from Dr. P.C. Lai and Miss Helen Ho.\n\nIn addition, Dr. P.C. Lai borrowed M.Y. 20,000.00.

The memorandum also contains proposals as to how the capital sum of £1,066,000 and the additional annual expenditure of £85,000 estimated as necessary on Page 26 of the Committee's report might be divided as between Hong Kong Government funds, C.D. and W. Central funds and Imperial funds.\n\nThe amount proposed from Hong Kong revenues is being discussed with the Governor by telegram and as soon as his views have been obtained I will arrange for a copy of the memorandum to be sent to the Foreign Office.\n\nMeanwhile you wish to have some idea of the figures involved. I cannot give you final figures but I can give you an assurance that the capital sum for which I suggest that we should make a joint approach to the Chancellor of the Exchequer will not be more than half the total required, that is not more than £500,000 (spread over at least ten years) and that the recurrent figure which we have in mind to propose is £30,000.\n\nIf, as I hope, you agree with the Committee's recommendations, I hope you will also agree that these sums would represent a recognition on the part of H.M.G. of the Imperial interest in the University and of the foreign element in its student population.",

        "content_text": "# \n\nThat had been stated clearly in para. 4. by the British Government, it would continue no matter what the political changes of any kind whatever might be in the Far East.\n\n## \n10. Sir Edward Gent said it was difficult to answer this.\n11. Mrs. Forster said it was unlikely that America would withdraw financial support of higher educational institutions in China and she did not see why the British Government should not be just as willing to support British institutions even if Hong Kong did not belong to us.\n12. The Chairman said it was not within the purview of the Committee to take account of the position if the assumption that Hong Kong would remain British proved to be incorrect.\n\nIn this connexion, the Chairman would like to refer to two points arising out of the papers. No. 1-A and No. 7 was a letter from a former Governor, Sir Andrew Caldecott, who in this capacity was Chancellor of the University. As members of the Committee would have noticed, Sir Andrew had expressed considerable doubt as to the wisdom of initiating the reconstruction of the University until a spontaneous demand for it came from the Hong Kong end. (The Chairman said he should explain that this letter was written when Sir Andrew's services were sought in connexion with the earlier Committee). He thought that at some time questions might be raised by the Committee with regard to this letter and that it might be useful if they could know from Sir Edward Gent how much importance ought to be attached to the points raised in it.\n\nSir Andrew Caldecott -\n\nSir Edward Gent said that this letter represented an extremely pessimistic view, but it was written at a time when Sir Andrew was in a state of personal distress. He was sure Sir Andrew would be glad to come to London to meet the Committee who could then judge whether his morale was still in the same condition as it was when he wrote the letter in question.\n\n14. The Chairman's second point was connected with Paper No. 2, which was the report of yet another Committee that met in the Colonial Office in 1943 when the war in the Far East looked like going on for a very long time. This Committee reviewed the future of higher education both in Malaya and in Hong Kong and inclined to view favourably the possibility of one university for both territories although they were evenly divided as to whether such a university should be located in Hong Kong or Malaya. They decided however that they were not competent at that time to make any pronouncement on the question and recommended a Commission of Enquiry after the war to advise upon the full development of the higher educational systems in Hong Kong and Malaya in the light of the post-war situation. They had advised that in the meantime the activities of Hong Kong University should be revived as soon as possible in a certain order of priority. It seemed to the Chairman that this had an important bearing on the present policy of the Colonial Office of going back to the Founder's original vision of a University in Hong Kong which, as an instrument of British policy in China, should cater for more than Colonial needs.\n\n15.",

I have had under consideration the question of the date to be notified in the Gazette as the end of the \"war period\". You will appreciate that during the period of the Japanese occupation and shortly after the defeat of Japan, I was obliged to authorise certain types of expenditure not covered by existing legislation and regulations; and individual items of expenditure of those types are still being authorised by the Colonial Office without prior consultation with you. The expenditure concerned is mainly that relating to members of the local defence forces; members of passive defence services and temporary Government officials, and passages of ex-internees. This ad hoc war-time procedure must of course be brought to an end as soon as possible, and the pre-war practice reverted to whereby the Colonial Office did not authorise expenditure from Colonial Government funds without prior reference to the Colonial Governments, except in certain routine cases or cases of small amounts. In the light of the above facts, I should be glad of your views as to the 31st December 1946 being a reasonable date for the end of the \"war period\". In the meantime, I am reviewing the position regarding the categories of expenditure in question and memoranda setting out the bases on which the expenditure has been incurred will be prepared at an early date and transmitted to you before 31st December in order that .../provision",

        "content_text": "# FISHERIES\n\n## 16 - 98\nThe scheme for the wholesale marketing of fish which was started under Dr. Herklots shortly after the Japanese surrender has met with considerable success. A certain amount of opposition from the fishing \"laans\" became evident recently, but negotiations are in progress and it is not anticipated that the development of the scheme will be impeded.\n\n## 99\nThe value of the fish handled during the three months period stands at some $2,300,000. The lack of ice has resulted in the fishermen having to salt a large proportion of their catch, with the result that the supplies of salted fish are in considerable excess of those of fresh fish. The supplies of fresh pond fish have so far been disappointing but measures are now being taken whereby the full benefit of the catches will be available on the open market.\n\n## 100\nThe chief result of the fish marketing scheme has been a marked fall in wholesale and retail prices and the regular and not unsatisfactory supply of fish of all kinds to the markets.\n\n## 101\nApart from the success of the marketing scheme, the progress towards the general rehabilitation of the fishing industry has not otherwise been impressive owing to the severe shortage of craft, fishing nets and other necessary gear. A survey of the junk building industry has already been completed in respect of most areas in the Colony, and a survey of the junk-yards at Shekki and Macao will be carried out in the near future. It is hoped to obtain considerable supplies of general fishing requirements from the Shekki neighbourhood.\n\n# BOTANICAL & FORESTRY\n\n## 102\nThe Colony has been denuded of flowering shrubs, but it is proposed to start a nursery in the new Botanical Garden with a view to creating a new stock for planting next spring.\n\n## 103\nThe general forestry position is unsatisfactory owing to extensive damage and unrestricted cutting carried out during the occupation. Various seeds and young trees are, however, available. Seeds have been collected and pine seeds purchased, and these are now being sown in the nurseries. Within the limits of common humanity, steps are being taken to control the illicit felling of trees by a population starved of firewood. Some firewood for domestic consumption is being obtained from the Deep Bay area, but the main hopes still lie in Borneo.\n\n# NEW TERRITORIES\n\n## 104\nThe re-occupation of the New Territories was accomplished in three stages: first, the parts of the mainland easily accessible by road, then the outlying parts and finally the islands. The occupation of Lantau and of Feng Chow in Mirs Bay was completed by about the third week in November.\n\n## 105\nAmong the Administration's first acts was...",

        "content_text": "# ESCAPE FROM HONG KONG PEACE CONFERENCES\n\n(Continued from Page 3)\n\nAfter this I had no idea where I was to go, but as my escort boarded one of the buses I got on at the other off. At last we began to breathe freely but, to my disappointment, my escort got off and we only sailed across Three Fathoms Cove to another village called Sam Chung. Here we stayed for two days and nights and, as it was only one more day to Chinese New Year, we almost gave up hope of reaching Free China. Late in the afternoon of the sixth day after the start of my journey, however, we proceeded as far as Tong, and when my escort alighted I started to sail down Tolo Channel.\n\nNear the mouth of the Channel we anchored at about 10 p.m. We were then spent about the most uncomfortable night that I can ever remember. There were 17 people, with luggage, crammed into the small well at the stern of the junk. The floor space was approximately 36 square feet, so there was little more than 2 square feet per person. I think very few of us slept more than a few moments that night.\n\nAt the crack of dawn we were off again, and soon came in sight of the pretty islands at the mouth of Tolo Channel. At last we sighted Tap Mun, the island home of my mythical patient. Fortunately, I never had occasion to produce the letter summoning me to visit a hypothetical patient on Tap Mun island, and I started off in the wake of my guide who took the road which led towards Kai Tak airport.\n\nThe guide, who had been twice over the road, had already ascertained at what points Japanese sentries were posted, and at what times they changed guard. The guards at the entrance to the airport changed duty at 8 a.m. and it was planned that we should pass by at that time, when presumably the soldiers would be somewhat less intent on scrutinising the passers-by.\n\nThe plan worked perfectly, and the incoming guard marched past us a few moments before we reached the entrance to the airport. I was instructed, in a note handed to me by my second guide, to send a message to my friends after passing the island of Tap Mun in safety. I scribbled the following message on a piece of paper: \"Patient on island is well. Anticipate satisfactory progress.\" The star (*) was a pre-arranged signal indicating my name and continued safety. I handed the note to my guide, and over a year later learned that the message had been safely delivered.\n\nFrom Tap Mun we steered north-east across Mirs Bay towards Peng Chau Island and then almost due north to Sha U Chung. I carried a small watch-chain compass in my waist-coat pocket and, sewn into my inside parts, I had a map of the whole area, extending as far north as Kukong, which I had cut out of a Postal Atlas. These two things were of the utmost value during the rest of the journey, and I still count them among my most treasured possessions.\n\nLater we picked up a small sailing boat and made somewhat quicker progress. Two days before reaching Lulong I was able to send a telegram to the British Ambassador in Chungking telling him of my escape and asking him to inform my family in Australia, and at the same time to request my wife to cable out some much-needed money. On the way up we ran into two or three parties of men who had escaped from North Point and Shamshuipo camps and were delighted to make their acquaintance and to hear their stories. Some of them, I am glad to say, are back in Hong Kong again at the present moment.\n\nAfter reaching Lulong we felt, for the first time, that all risk was over. We had reached a point where motor transport was available and there was a well-made road leading to our immediate destination of Kukong.\n\nAt Lulong, we parted company. Marsman, Lavrov, and their remaining Chinese friend had an opportunity of travelling by private car to Kukong, so they went ahead. I proceeded by the somewhat more tedious transportation offered by a salt truck. It was my first experience of the devious methods necessary for obtaining the privilege of joining the crowded mass of humanity on one of these trucks, and I shall always be grateful to a young student of Lingnam University who initiated me into the technique.\n\n## Journey To Kukong\n\nOn the journey to Kukong was the inevitable breakdown of the boat and made somewhat quicker progress. Two days before reaching Lulong I was able to send a telegram to the British Ambassador in Chungking. The weather was extremely cold and there was actual snow on the hills above Sha U Chung. I felt very glad that I had sewn an old goatskin into my raincoat.\n\nWe passed through beautiful country, and some of it reminded me forcibly of parts of Surrey. If it had not been for the circumstances of our journey we could have imagined ourselves on somewhat strenuous walking tour.\n\nThe hospitality of the villagers was amazing. We met with nothing but the utmost kindness, courtesy, and generosity at their hands. We were robbed by a lone bandit, who robbed us each in turn of wrist watches, fountain pens, and money. I only lost my fountain pen; I had no money and my Rolex wrist watch was pushed above my elbow and covered by a bandage over skin painted with mercurochrome.\n\nMy time has already gone and I shall not attempt to tell the story of the Hong Kong University students in China, as that has already been told in full elsewhere. But I think there is no time to tell the story of the rest of my experience in ex-China.\n\n## Guide Turns Up\n\nOn the following morning my permanent guide turned up. I recognised him at once by the fact that he was carrying my suitcase and a bundle containing my Jaeger sleeping bag. For the rest of the journey, about 4 p.m. on the afternoon of the fourth day, there was a great commotion in the village. Villagers dashed about excitedly and soon gunboats had apparently come up from Hong Kong, and at last I was able to get into touch with friends whom I knew.\n\n## Reach Wai Chow\n\nWe reached Wai Chow after five strenuous days of walking and on the third day after leaving Lulong. It had taken me twenty days to complete the journey from Hong Kong.\n\n## Future of University\n\nUltimately some 346 Hong Kong University students, out of a total student body of about 600, made their way into Free China, of whom no fewer than 319 continued their studies at 17 different Chinese Universities.\n\nIn Chungking I went to see the British Ambassador, Sir Horace Seymour, and Mr Han Lih-wu, of the Sino-British Cultural Association. As a result of conversations with them, and with the Chinese Minister of Education, I returned almost immediately to Kukong, via Kweilin, carrying relief money for the students from British Government funds.\n\nThe addition of Marsman and his friends made the party six, and my plans had all been made on the assumption that a party of two could make good speed and would attract little attention. However, as things turned out, we had a very unpleasant experience during the second night. The guerillas and the crew of the junk slept on shore, leaving only the five of us who were refugees to sleep on the boat.\n\nAbout 3 a.m. I was awakened by the blinding light of an electric torch shining in my face and the barrel of a revolver pointed straight at my head. It was the first time I had been confronted with this particular type of situation and I must say one feels in rather a weak and essential position to be suddenly awakened out of a confused sleep to face such circumstances flat on one's back!\n\nThe lonely robber then dropped from the side of our junk into a waiting boat and was rowed away into the darkness.\n\nAt the Hosai Hospital I could literally say that I was penniless. I shall never forget the warmth of the welcome I received, nor the luxury of lying on a real bed again after sleeping for three weeks on bare boards, boat decks, and stone floors.\n\nAfter three hours I was taken up to the school on the hill and here, to my surprise, was ushered into a room where Messrs Marsman and Lavrov and two of their Chinese colleagues were waiting.\n\n\"No Impossible Problems In Pacific\"\n\n## FRASER IN AMERICA\n\nMr Fraser said he wanted such a conference immediately to follow the Paris Conference which would draft the peace treaty for the war in Europe.\n\n## SWORD SURRENDERED\n\nJapanese Commander At Malaya Ceremony\n\n### SERVICE CHIEFS PRESENT\n\nWashington, Feb. 25.\n\nOne of the highest-ranking Japanese officers in South-east Asia General Itakgaki, Commander of the 7th Area Army, embracing Malaya, Java, Sumatra, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and parts of Siam and Borneo, has formally surrendered to the General Officer Commanding in Chief, Malaya Command, General Messervy, at a ceremony at the Command Headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, witnessed by a large gathering of Service chiefs.\n\nBe-ribboned, greying Itakgaki, at the head of a line of his staff officers, was marched onto the parade ground and halted between the lines of British and Indian guards to come to attention as General Messervy took up his position at a flag-draped table and called on him in a loud voice to surrender his sword.\n\nAt a slow, halting pace, the Japanese commander advanced to the table bearing his sword, encased in a colourful cloth bag tied with purple ribbon, and offered the sword across the Union Jack, after which General Messervy announced that the remaining 12 senior Japanese officers, headed by General Itakgaki, would hand over their swords to Brigadier C. P. Jones, C.B.E., M.C., the General's Staff Brigadier, at Malaya Command.\n\nMr Fraser foresaw \"no impossible problems in the Pacific. There will be problems, naturally. China has her many problems. There are other problems of organising the so-called trusteeships. There are also the economic and political problems concerning the stability of all Asia.\"\n\n## DANISH KING BETTER\n\nCopenhagen, Feb. 26.\n\nIt was officially announced today that King Christian's condition has improved.-United Press.\n\nPage 60\nPage 61",

        "content_text": "# SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST\n## 23rd MARCH, 1944\n### UNIVERSITY CEREMONY\n\n**Degrees Conferred On Medical Graduates In Great Hall Ruins**\n**C-IN-C SPEAKS ON CIVIC SENSE**\n\nIn the ruined, roofless Great Hall of the Hongkong University, the Degree of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery was conferred upon 23 candidates by the University of Hongkong Medical Degrees Emergency Committee yesterday.\n\nThe Degree was also conferred upon 10 candidates \"in absentia.\"\n\nThe ceremony—the first held for four years—was without the usual pomp and splendour of former years, but was nevertheless impressive.\n\nIn an address the C-in-C, Hongkong, Vice-Admiral Sir Cecil Harcourt, said that every effort was being made to open the University for first-year classes in October. He also spoke on the importance of self-discipline which was, he said, the equivalent of civic sense. \"For it is only by the gaining of this civic sense that stable self-government can be achieved... Only in this way can genuine self-government be established in Hongkong and the people be prosperous, happy and free,\" he declared.\n\nThe candidates present were: Au Wai-man, Au Kit-man, Bun Pak-sun, Chan Sing-boon, Chan Wai-kai, Ho Hung-kin, Ip Yee, Lam Tang Wong Shu-kee, Leung Yau-shun, Li Hin-lun, Li Fook-kuen, Ling Tak-chu, Loke Choong-she, Look Mang-wai, Oh Kim-seng, Tong Hon-chiu, Tong Kwok-kee, Mook-foo, Wong Siao-bu, Wu Kay-hau, Yap Meow-foo, Yeoh Oon-thor, and Yu Shiu-on. Those honoured \"in absentia\" were: Cheung King-ho, Fung Kam-tat, Hooi Peng-kwan, Hui Kwan-lun, Kaan Sze-kin, Lam Yu-shing, Siu Ka-hee, Tan Kim-hoang, Tsai Kam-fong, and Yap Jin-yau.\n\nThe University lacked the machinery for awarding and conferring degrees. Obviously something had to be done about it. His Majesty the King in Council decided, just as less august bodies decide when in difficulties, that there must be a committee to deal with the matter.\n\nAccordingly, it was ordered that there should be constituted a Committee, to be known as the University of Hongkong Medical Degrees Emergency Committee. This Committee was empowered to exercise, in so far as they relate to medicine and surgery, the powers of the Senate of the University to determine what examinations and courses of study in other universities or places of learning should be deemed equivalent to examinations and courses of study in the University of Hongkong.\n\nAmong those present were Sir Shouson Chow, the Right Rev. Bishop R.O. Hall, Mr Leo D'Almada, Sir Robert Kotewall, Lieut-Col Wm Kay, Mr M.K. Lo, Dr and Mrs G.H. Thomas, Mr S.A. Gray (PRO), Col W.T. Ware, Mr Mok Kon-sang, Mr George She, Major D.F. Davis, Mr Chau Tsun-nin, the Rev. Frank Short, Major R. Lee, Major H.L. Ozorio, Mr and Mrs B.C.K. Hawkins, the Rev Cheung Wing-ngok, and a large number of University undergraduates.\n\nMembers of the University of Hongkong Medical Degrees Emergency Committee were Mr T.M. Hazelrigg (Chairman), Mr G.P. de Martin, Col J.P. Fehily, Col T.R. Rowell, Lieut-Col Gordon King, and Mr B.C.K. Hawkins.\n\nThe once Great Hall is a skeleton structure with only the bare walls standing. The window frames, the wooden flooring, and every vestige of woodwork have been looted. The roof has been removed and only the iron rafters now hold the walls together. Where flags and pennants hung on doorways, empty gaps now greet the eye.\n\n### Chairman's Address\n\nI wish to make it quite clear that each candidate for a degree must, as heretofore, have completed a five years' course of study at a University or place of learning, including at least two years at the University of Hongkong, and that no degree can be conferred without examination.\n\nThe principal function of the Committee has been to ensure that the course of study completed and the examinations passed by the candidates were equivalent to the comparable courses of study and examinations at the University of Hongkong.\n\nIn respect of each of the candidates upon whom degrees will be conferred to-day, the Committee is satisfied that the requirements of the Statutes of the University and of the Order of His Majesty in Council have been fulfilled.\n\nOne final point. It is particularly declared by the Order in Council that degrees conferred in accordance with its provisions shall be deemed to have been conferred at a Congregation of the whole University.\n\nShortly before 3 p.m., the Procession, headed by the successful candidates, and followed by Sir Cecil and members of the Emergency Committee, entered the Hall. The candidates took seats on either side of the Hall while Sir Cecil and the Emergency Committee took their positions at the official table, which was unadorned and without a covering.\n\nAfter he had declared the gathering open, Mr Hazelrigg said:\n\nWe are fortunate in having with us to-day Mr G.P. de Martin, who at one time acted as Registrar of this University and who is, I believe, the oldest surviving member of its Court. Mr de Martin has kindly consented to support the Committee, and I now call upon him to address the Meeting. (Applause).\n\nMr de Martin said: Before concluding this part of to-day's proceedings, it is my privilege to thank our visitors for their presence here. By joining with us in this necessarily truncated function, you bring with you a message of friendship and encouragement.\n\nThe events of December 1941 disrupted the lives of the undergraduates and called a halt to the activities of this University. Many of the undergraduates, however, escaped into China and pursued their studies in the Chinese Universities amid great difficulties. Some of the medical students, after passing their examinations, went on to render valuable services in their profession.\n\nWhen the dark days ended, the University career of these students was consummated by the conferment of degrees.\n\n### The King's Recognition\n(Continued on Page 8)",

OF S., COLONIES.**\n\nSent 7th July, 1948. 12.30 hrs.\n\nYour despatch No. 100 of the 7th May and your savingram No. 412.\n\n1948-1949 Estimates have been discussed with Follows and I now approve generally. I have, however, following comments in anticipation of fuller discussion in despatch which will follow.\n\nRevenue has been estimated on conservative basis and allows for recession of trade as compared with 1947-48. I appreciate, therefore, that if levels of trade and general prosperity are maintained, estimates of revenue should be exceeded and a further revenue surplus earned. I should be glad to know whether it is yet possible to judge from revenue receipts in the first quarter how far revenue is actually being maintained as compared with last year.\n\nEven Estimates as presented, however, provide for no significant addition to the Colony's surplus funds. Allowing for some recession of trade, I should have hoped that it would have been possible to make some such addition as provision against heavy demands which the Colony will undoubtedly have to meet re capital and rehabilitation expenditure in the next few years, to say nothing of need for developing additional social and other services in the near future. I feel, therefore, that it is still necessary to give permanent strengthening to the revenue structure and should be glad if you would consider further as early as possible what measures can be taken to that end. Although I appreciate that at this early date after its introduction increase in effective rates of Earnings and Profits Tax would not be feasible, I should not have thought it impossible to make further increases in taxes on liquor and tobacco, and no doubt more extended purchase tax and other possibilities will be closely examined.\n\nI trust that possibility envisaged in paragraph 32 of your despatch of effecting some reduction of estimated expenditure, and in particular immediate staff reductions following on preliminary investigation referred to in paragraph 13 of your despatch, will be pursued energetically.\n\nCopies sent to:~\n| Name |\n| --- |\n| Treasury |\n| Mr. Pitblado |\n| Mr. H.

Senior officers are displaying signs of increasing discontent at being asked to opt for revised terms of service in cases where they do not know what rate of high cost of living allowance they will draw, or how their new total emoluments will compare with their present emoluments. Time limit for exercise of option is three months from the date of notification of revised basic salary, and since conversion letters have already been despatched to all permanent officers in the colony whose scales have been approved, the position is becoming increasingly embarrassing. Evidence of indebtedness of senior officers to banks is growing. Establishment officer has already received numerous enquiries from banks as to probable final position of officers who have been allowed to borrow pending settlement of their arrears of salary. European Civil Servants Council is displaying an antagonistic attitude towards the Salaries Commission's recommendations, and has put forward strong representations against inadequate total emoluments proposed by Commission and, in particular, against the rate of cost of living allowance recommended. More than two months have elapsed since the general acceptance of the Commission's recommendations was announced, and financial uncertainty is having a serious effect upon the morale of senior officers who have not only to contend with an abnormal volume of work, but also with greatly increased expensive living conditions. The effect of prompt implementation of the Commission's recommendations as far as local officers were concerned, was encouraging, but unless a decision is reached soon on outstanding questions, much of the value of the Commission's recommendations will be lost as far as senior expatriate officers are concerned.\n\nG.

I agree that Sister Tutor allowance should be abolished and that scale for Qualified Sister Tutor should commence at £700 per mensem, rising to maximum of $860 per month. \n\nPoint (f) I am not in favour of substitution of efficiency bar for promotion bar between Nursing Sister and Senior Nursing Sister Grades until it has been shown more clearly how local Nursing Sisters will be able to rise to the responsibilities of the higher grade. I suggest that the position should be reviewed in five years' time. \n\nPoint (g) In view of the varying number of beds in small hospitals, the proposals made by the Salaries Commission are more adaptable to local conditions than would be a fixed scale for Assistant Matrons. \n\nPoint (h). The basic salary scales for Principal Matron and Matron, Grade I, correspond very closely to the Rushcliffe recommendations for a Matron, 1,000 beds and over and 599 beds respectively. As basic scales for local Nurses who are entitled to register in England have been fixed according to the Rushcliffe scales, it is reasonable that the basic salaries of these two officers should also correspond and I am strongly in favour of the rates recommended. The Principal Matron, Hong Kong, who is in charge of Queen Mary's Hospital, appears to have similar responsibilities to Matron, General Hospital, Singapore, and not to a Grade I Matron in Malaya. Different uses of similar titles in Malaya and Hong Kong and the absence of the Senior Nursing Sister grade in Malaya tend to accentuate the difference in the two Commissions' recommendations. \n\nI shall be grateful for a telegraphic reply on the above points in order that officers concerned may be able to convert to the revised salaries as soon as possible.",

Following paragraphs contain the views of the Governors of Malayan Union and Singapore.\n\n1. As regards basic salaries, Hong Kong proposals (for approval of) expatriation pay are generally more favourable (Singapore say much more favourable) than Malayan proposals in all grades. This is particularly the case in regard to minima of scales and shorter length of time scales. As referred to in paragraph below, this feature will tend to place Hong Kong in more favourable position than Malaya in regard to overseas recruitment.\n\n2. Regarding cost of living allowances, Hong Kong proposals are much higher than those recommended by the Malayan Commission. It seems to us most difficult to justify this difference in view of the figures available here of the average prices in both Territories, which show that the average in Hong Kong is below (repeat below) that in Malaya.\n\n3. Until we can study Hong Kong's full report, which has just arrived, we are not yet able to say how far the more generous proposals in Hong Kong referred to above will affect Malaya in regard to the recruitment of officer personnel, particularly professional officers. Singapore will send further comments on this question later.\n\n4. There is little doubt that if Hong Kong proposals are ante-dated to either of the dates at present under consideration, there will be an outcry from the public servants in Malaya for acceptance of the same date here.",

We have also referred to the reports of various recent Salaries Commissions in other Colonies and in particular to those dealing with the public services in West Africa and Palestine.\n\n## 21.\nAnother subject which has figured prominently in our deliberations has been the assessment of the permanent decrease in the purchasing power of money since the war. We have reluctantly, but unavoidably, had to put on the prophet's mantle in the perhaps foolhardy attempt to state how much of the present rise in the cost of living is due to temporary dislocations caused by war, such as the shortages of essential foodstuffs, textiles, and transport, which can be expected to right themselves in time, and how much of the rise might be regarded as permanent. Cost of living indices for Hong Kong for the period after the First World War are not available, but those for Singapore show that the cost of living for Asiatics rose to 110 above the 1914 level in 1920, gradually declined to 50 in 1922, and remained at about 50 to 60% above the 1914 level until 1930, when the effects of the world slump began to make themselves felt. The cost of living for Europeans in Singapore in 1920 rose to about 90, and in the next ten years settled down to about 55 to 60 above that of 1914. Similarly, in the United Kingdom, it is understood that the decreased purchasing value of money after the First World War was reflected in a 35 to 40% increase in salaries and wages. The rise in the cost of living which has occurred in the Far East after the Second World War has been on a far greater scale. The whole economy of the area has been disrupted by the tide of war, and it has seemed to us reasonable to assume that it will take longer than it did after the First World War for stable economic conditions to be regained. It is clear that for some time to come, it will be necessary for Government to pay, in addition to revised salaries, which will to some extent reflect the decrease in purchasing power of money, a variable cost of living allowance, bearing in mind that the total emoluments of officers in the public service should be sufficient to keep them on a reasonable standard of living appropriate to their status. With this consideration in view, we have, if anything, erred on the conservative side in making our general recommendations for revised basic salaries, in the knowledge that it is always easier to adjust upwards than downwards. The effect of the price of rice on the economy of South East Asia is of such fundamental importance and so far-reaching that a policy of caution appears to us to be essential, since it is obvious that great damage could be done to the economic position of the Colony if the maximum rates which we prescribed proved either to be too high to enable Hong Kong concerns employing staff of similar grades to Government to compete in world markets, or to have a general inflationary effect in the Colony. We are indebted to Professor R. Robertson, Professor of Economics in the Hong Kong University, and to Mr. W.M. Thomson, Director of Supplies, Trade, and Industry, for the information and advice which they gave us on probable price trends and on the general post-war economic position, and to the Labour Officer for his views on post-war wage rates and wage tendencies. Our conclusions on this subject are that it is unlikely that the minimum wage for unskilled labour will within the next...",

Grantham)\n\nSent 14th May, 1948. 17.15 hrs.\n\n36\n\nYour despatch No. 3 of the 23rd February.\n\nRenewal terms for holders of certain Crown Leases.\n\nParagraph 4 of statement dealing with Crown rent gives two bases agreement which are prima facie contradictory. I assume, however, from paragraph 6 of your despatch that it is, in fact, intended to charge Crown rent at the conventional rate normally charged by Government for new leases in the same district and not on the alternative basis of the full and fair value of the land. Indeed, it is difficult to reconcile the basis of full and fair value for rental with the proposal in paragraph 5 for charging a premium also based on current land values, since that would appear to be charging for the value of the land itself twice.\n\n2\n\nI take it, therefore, that the operative proposal is to charge a rent in accordance with current practice at a conventional figure and require payment of a premium which will represent the balance of the undeveloped value of the land over and above that rental.\n\n36\n\nThis involves a complete withdrawal of any claim to a premium based on the developed value of the land, to which it has previously been held that Government is entitled. I am inclined to think that the concession suggested in paragraphs 4 and 5 of Lord Moyne's despatch of 17th March, 1941, was unnecessarily generous to leaseholders, since whatever is done in the case of these leases is bound to be a precedent when question of renewal of the 99-year leases and 75-year renewal leases comes up. I feel that paragraph of Lord Moyne's despatch referred to understated the importance of the issue. I should, therefore, be glad to know the reasons for the further concession proposed to leaseholders and to know, if it is possible to make such an assessment, how the terms now proposed under which the premium will be based solely on the undeveloped value of the land will compare in practice with those proposed in Lord Moyne's despatch under which in effect 50% of the total premium on the developed value was to be remitted.\n\nConcession offered in 1946 was approved specifically on the basis that it would encourage quicker redevelopment of damaged properties. I do not think, therefore, that it should be regarded as a precedent for permanent concessions to all leaseholders and available information suggests that there is in any case no need at present to offer any special additional incentives to building development in the Colony which present conditions make so exceptionally profitable.",

Some uncertainty is felt owing to confused and conflicting reports about timing or recognition of Peking Government by H.M. Government. Present Communist attitude towards Hong Kong remains one of non-interference, but events such as Chinese Air Lines defection (see paragraph 9 below) may force them to take more active interest.\n\n2. Unconfirmed report received of arrival of a further 200 irregulars in uniform in border area, possibly to assist in an attempt to prevent smuggling. There are however no signs of a build-up of regular P.L.A. forces east of Canton. Former East River guerillas are reported under (corrupt group - ? absorption) into regular units. Communists have occupied San Chow Island but majority of Communist forces previously reported opposite to the Island have been withdrawn and are thought to have moved further west. It is still thought there is no immediate threat to Macao.\n\n3. Parades were held in Canton on 11th and 13th November to celebrate liberation of Canton and anniversary of Russian October Revolution. Marked lack of enthusiasm on the part of the civilian population. Parades included artillery and infantry with large variety of weapons. All ranks appeared well fed, fit and cheerful. Canton still suffering from lack of administrators, Crime rife owing to disarming of police. Business reported almost dead. Some Hong Kong press reports of impending rice shortage there.\n\n4. Communists have advanced down Luichow Peninsula and it is thought most of the Nationalist forces have moved to Hainan. Communists claim to have penetrated outer defences of Wuchow and city is possibly in their hands.\n\n5. Forces moving up from Wuchow are developing rear threat to Kweilin. Kweiyang is reported to have fallen and a further thrust has developed in north-westerly direction towards Tsun-i on Chungking Kweiyang Road.

COLONIES.\n\nSent 17th September, 1947. 15:30 hrs.\n\n65し\n\n59\n\nNo. 1492\n\n1.\n\nYour telegram No. 1152.\n\nLoan.\n\nI am prepared to agree that Government should borrow up to $150 million in all, but for reason given below provision will have to be made in loan legislation for full $150 million and not (repeat not) for $100 million as proposed in paragraph 4 of your telegram No. 889.\n\n2. Suggest that prospects of success would be increased if loan were floated in three parts, viz:-\n\n(a) Tap issue up to a maximum of (say) $50 millions in first case at 3% per annum with Sinking Fund of 1½% per annum.\n\n(b) A premium bond issue of say $50 millions bearing interest at 1% per annum. A small number of the bonds to be redeemed each year at prices above the issue price, the premium being met from the saving of 2% interest. A copy of Palestine Ordinance, No. 27 of 1944, authorising the issue of premium bonds is being forwarded by savingram for your information.\n\n(c) The balance to be held in reserve for further issue as either (a) or (b) became fully subscribed.\n\n3. You would doubtless be able to decide in the light of local conditions how the $150 million could best be divided amongst (a), (b) and (c) above.\n\n4. Suggestion in your telegram No. 1152 for borrowing from Exchange Fund has been very carefully considered in light of paragraphs 2 and 3 of your telegram. In present circumstances, however, any recourse to the Exchange Fund which could only mean a reduction in the sterling securities which the Fund would otherwise hold, would have precisely the same effect on general sterling position as direct borrowing in the London market. I am satisfied therefore that it would be undesirable to pursue this proposal at present.\n\n5. As regards paragraph 5 of your telegram No. 1152, enclosure (b) of my savingram No. 115 provided for the annual sinking fund contribution to be remitted to the Crown Agents for investments to be approved by me; and (c) of my telegram No. 220 envisaged use of the Fund to purchase loan if price of loan fell below par. Crown Agents point out that in fact conditions may be such that even above par the loan may be the best investment of the sinking fund; but it would be inadvisable to include provision for making the purchase obligatory.",

R. 9th\n\n13.30 hrs.\n\nNo.622 Secret.\n\n(3) on 5365-2147\n\n116\n\n46\n\nAs indicated in my telegram No.533, the £100,000,000 authorised in your No.1079 of 1946 for the loan will suffice, in the light of more accurate information now available, to meet expenditure still necessary to complete the rehabilitation of the Colony. Special expenditure incurred during the financial year just ended, together with rehabilitation expenditure approved by the Legislature for the coming year, will total just under $100,000,000, and this does not take into account railway equipment already ordered which will not be delivered until the middle of 1948, or the balance of the building programme and repairs to drainage, port works, etc., which will not have been completed by 31st March, 1948. Moreover, as I pointed out in my telegram under reference, considerable expenditure on water conservation scheme will be necessary during the course of the next eleven years.\n\nThe total cost of rehabilitation of various Government services, including repairs to buildings damaged and the replacement of those destroyed, is very roughly estimated at $206,500,000, but this figure may be capable of some reduction. This excludes expenditure on the new Reservoir Scheme and on any other development schemes which may be recommended by the Development Committee. It is clear that this Colony cannot afford to borrow on such a scale, and it is difficult to see how the much-needed extensions to the water supply can be carried out unless generous assistance from the Colonial Development Funds is forthcoming, but there is the complication that the water works will in due course become a municipal responsibility. At the same time, the rehabilitation programme cannot be closed down at the end of the present year,",

I am not, repeat not, clear how you have assumed from my telegram Nos.498 and 499 that legal liability will necessarily arise only in respect of requisitioned vessels. As regards denial measures in general, I would refer you to the advice contained in paragraph 3 of your savingram No.651 of 22.10.47, from which I observe that any liability for compensation in respect of denial measures up to 25.12.41 is held to rest with the Hong Kong Government and hence not with H.M.G.\n\n2. Having regard to the present circumstances of the United Kingdom, and to the assistance already afforded Hong Kong by means of the free grant of £1 million \"to assist the Colony in resolving problems arising out of expenditure connected with the war\", H.M.G. could not consider giving Hong Kong further financial assistance in respect of denial claims.\n\n3. Whether the U.K. Service Departments can properly accept charges arising in connection with each claim, can only be shown after examination in the light of the existing practice of the respective Departments and of the facts in each case.\n\n4. I propose, therefore, to arrange for the claims for which you have asked H.M.G. to accept liability, in paragraph 5 of your telegram No.437, to be expeditiously examined by local representatives of the U.K. Departments concerned, in consultation with the Hong Kong Government. The officers will ascertain the facts and report back as soon as possible. Instructions are being sent by Service Departments accordingly.\n\n5. I have been very much concerned at the opening sentence of your telegram No.426 and would urge you to do everything within your power to prevent outstanding issues from obscuring the very real assistance which H.M.G. is affording Hong Kong, including as it does the £1 million to which reference is made in paragraph 2 above. You will be aware from my telegram No.532 of the assistance which, following paragraph 3 of your despatch No.281 of 29.1.47, H.M.G. has under consideration for certain persons who have suffered losses through war damage in Hong Kong.",

TINSON\n\nI am sorry to inform you that, according to information which I have received from the Colonial Office, it is the intention of the Ministry of Pensions in this country to cancel the pension they allow Mrs. Tinson in view of the fact that she is now in receipt of an \"income\" of £200 p.a. from your fund.\n\nI need hardly tell you how strongly I feel about this. It was only because of the inadequacy of the pension which they were giving this lady that your fund was originally called upon to help, and it was only because she has incurred, and is incurring, heavy medical and hospital expenses that your allowance was recently increased. Furthermore, your grant is \"in the nature of a gift from the fund, and is liable to be discontinued without notice at any time,\" (See your letter to Mrs. Tinson of March 23rd, 1948).\n\nThe Colonial Office are trying to arrange with the Ministry of Pensions to withhold action until your Committee has had an opportunity to consider these new circumstances. Were it not for the fact that Mrs. Tinson would be a heavy loser, I would recommend your Committee to cancel their allowance, so as to prevent the Ministry of Pensions avoiding their responsibility, but, as things are, I have no alternative but to express the hope that, if and when the Ministry of Pensions take the action they contemplate, your Committee will increase the allowance to an extent sufficient to compensate Mrs. Tinson for the loss of the pension, viz. 35/- weekly.\n\nI shall be grateful if you will let me have your Committee's observations at an early date; meantime, I shall do my best to get the Ministry of Pensions to hold their hand.\n\nYours faithfully,\n\n(Sgd.) O.S. Mitchell  \nSecretary & Vice-Chairman",

Stores.\n\nFollowing for Follows. Begins.\n\nWe have no information as to how the estimate of B.H.A. stores was made up, and this still is the only information we have as to value of stores supplied. Presumably War Office will provide a breakdown, but we assume estimate covers all stores intended for retention, by Government Departments included among those listed in Schedule \"A\" to War Office Memo B.C.A. 13/734 of 23rd August, 1945; four copies are recorded as distributed to Colonial Office. In addition, you will see from Appendix I. that we have assumed that the Ordnance stores included cost of coal from India not charged elsewhere.\n\nThis schedule, which included harbour craft (page 54) and vehicles (pages 49 and 50) and also railway equipment, set out stores which H.M. Government (War Office) undertook to provide as requirement for first six months of military administration. Arrangements to supply had not been completed by the time interned officers reached London, and Schedule A was amended by cancellation and reduction of items. Morris, for example, made wholesale cancellation of electrical items while Jardine Matheson arranged for commercial procurement of some port equipment. Our copy also refers to a document used in London reference R.S.M. 102533/46 as authority for many substantial reductions. Three indents were also placed on Crown Agents at the same time by Planning Unit for goods required by Government Departments, the cost of which were a charge on Hong Kong funds (not B.M.A.). Crown Agents' indent placed before 1st May, 1946, which began to come forward towards the end of 1946, amounted to:\n\n(a) Departmental indents £323,614 (sterling)\n\n(b) Brett programme £82,154 (sterling)\n\n(c) Miscellaneous Governmental £10,954 (sterling).\n\nThe magnitude of expenditure borne by this Government in reprovisioning Departments is indicated by following figures for payments by Stores Department alone for unallocated stores received in these years:\n\n(a) 1946/1947 $20,167,579\n\n(b) 1947/1948 $24,325,000\n\nincluding...",

        "content_text": "SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1950.\n\nMONGKONG UNIVERSITY CONGREGATION\n\n(Continued from Page 3)\n\nWhatever idea in this very place, in the Colony of Hongkong.\" freedom to the less remember your University is always here to help you in your problems; use her as much in your post-graduate life as you did before.\n\nSome of you are destined to become leaders of your fellow men, others followers. In your lives we do not expect you to accept slavishly and blindly what you were taught here, but having been taught to think, to discern, to discriminate, and to reason, we are confident that you are equipped to choose your own way of life. May you live wisely, remembering always our creed, what of many other equally heroic restoration of the playing field ever our standard of learning, exploits performed in China; surely in this year of grace 1950, lads who fearlessly penetrated occupied Hongkong: who lived for months in the hills over-looking Kowloon, where one magnificent gift of $35,000 towards the pavilion by Mr and Mrs Leung Yew. By September next, 80 of our 180 women graduates will be able to live in the new hostel built through the generous gift of one million dollars by Sir Robert Ho Tung.\n\nHe then went on to tell the audience, which crowded this Great Hall, how he got the idea. He said that during his studies, while at the College of Medicine in Hongkong, more than 30 years previously, after his school work and lectures, after his book reading, he used to stroll the streets of Hongkong, it being known to only very few people. About the middle of 1942 we were visited by an officer of the R.A.F, who was planning a secret mission to the Netherland Indies and Malaya. At this stage of the war such missions had hitherto never been attempted in the Far East; they were in every sense of the word penetrating and hazardous unknown. One of the reasons for the visit of this officer was to recruit a dependable companion. He chose Lau Teng-kee, one of our undergraduates.\n\nAttainments\n\nNow what of our attainments in the training of good citizens? In practically every profession, in practically every walk of life, that humility is the essence of wisdom.\n\nLau knew full well the measure of paper which was a scarce and valuable commodity not couched in a completed form. It is therefore fitting that the new School of Engineering and Architecture building, that I shall be opening later this afternoon, should be named after him: thus his memory perpetuated.\n\nAlthough Dr Sloss' departure was a loss, we were very fortunate in securing the services of Dr Ride as his successor. Apart from his capabilities and personality, is the fact that he has been with the University for more than twenty years, and so knows all our aspirations.\n\nIt is very pleasing to have with us to-day, the Chancellor of the University of Malaya, the Right Hon. Malcolm MacDonald. I warmly welcome him. The University of Malaya was inaugurated on October 8, 1949, on which occasion I had the pleasure of sending a message of greeting to the Chancellor.\n\n\"I also express with the united hopes of the Hongkong University, which is the university of this British Colony that is mainly supported by the Colony, but the services it renders far beyond our small confines. It is uniquely situated at the door of China and thus it brings to the people of China the best that British and western culture can offer. Our doors are open to entrants from China, as well as from Hongkong and Malaya. We offer them our facilities freely and we ask for nothing in return. This is in accordance with the vision of our predecessors. If we succeed in carrying out our aim, we will have done something to foster a mutual appreciation between the inheritors of two of the world's most important cultures. (Applause).\n\nThere are two reasons why the University has made good progress. First and foremost, I would put the inspiring leadership given by the last Vice-Chancellor, Dr Sloss. Time and again he wanted to retire but at my urgent request he carried on.\n\nThe second reason, why such good progress has been made, is that the University has many friends not only amongst the alumni, but also amongst the citizenry of Hongkong. Most public life in this Colony, you will find our graduates playing an ever increasingly responsible and honoured part.\n\nIn closing, I feel I cannot do better than quote the message of another Vice-Chancellor, Sir John Medley, at the University of Melbourne in 1940.\n\n... my wishes which are the University's wishes to you are particularly important, with the University's wishes to you are in the customary very welcome increase mere fifty miles, He thought of liberally to found and maintain the beautiful streets, the artistic parks and wondered why and faith is more than justified incredible difficulty of landing was stolen from its hiding place success and prosperity in all your There are two reasons why the University made good progress.\n\nWhat Better Proof? What better proof could one desire than this of the statement I made a few minutes ago that a University is something more than a mere teaching institution. It was not what he was taught here that made Dr Sun Yat-sen \"give up his profession of curing men and spend his time curing his country\": but it was the effect on him of the life he shared with others, his teachers and his fellow students, in a British institution of learning in a British Colony.\n\nAs Father Ryan said in his talk before the Rotary Club last November, the youth of our educational institutions is \"the most important export of our Colony.\"\n\n(2) There must be 101s Chinese who are shareholders of the company. I could easily find out what percentage of them are Chinese by looking at the shareholders' returns in their file with the Registrar or availing myself of section 98 (1) of the Companies Ordinance of 1932. But I don't care to take the trouble at the present. Since the Chinese are the main sufferers, they should make their voice heard at the shareholders' meeting.\n\nM. H. TANG.\n\nView of the dais during the conferring of degrees at Hongkong University yesterday when the first official Congregation since the war was held. — (Staff Photographer).\n\nGovernor's Speech\n\nAfter the conferment of degrees, His Excellency the Chancellor, before declaring the Congregation closed, addressed the gathering.\n\nThe Recipients\n\nThe recipients of degrees were:\n\nMaster of Surgery - Kwan Su-yee\n\nBachelor of Science in Engineering - D B Izalt in absentia (posthumously)\n\nBachelor of Arts - Algernon Ho\n\nBachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery - Kwan Kui-lun, Yip Tai-hing, Yue Pui-lam.

E. the Governor said: What a period of tragedy the world has gone through since the last Congregation nine years ago. Although I say this in no sense of self-pity, we in Hongkong were certainly one of the major sufferers. Even to-day in this hall we can see the ruin and devastation of war.\n\nThe University had to be abandoned physically in 1941, its spirit carried on and the light of learning was not extinguished. This was only made possible by the kindness of our friends in China, who took in some of our students, and thus enabled them to continue with their studies.\n\nThe progress at first seemed slow, and as late as 1948, that is only two years ago, I said in an address to the Court that the University was then in the position that it was in 1916.\n\nPerhaps I was unduly pessimistic, for in fact the progress that has been made is quite remarkable. As an instance of this might quote the figures of the number of students. In 1941 there were 572; in 1948 507; in 1949, 620. This number for 1949 represents the complete faculties and Medicine, but still lacks two years of medical students.\n\nOur Medical Faculty this and next year, our undergraduate strength will be at least 800.\n\nThanks To Government\n\nWe acknowledge with grateful thanks the help of the Hongkong Government. This University is already been filled, and it is proposed that Government department; we have no claim for financial help that have no claim for financial help.\n\nMay I in conclusion now say a few words to those who are the youth of to-day's ceremony, our Graduands. It has always been a matter of wonderment and of not a little amusement, to me, that when our Chancellor declares the Congregation open for the conferring of degrees, the story of the exploits in Malaya of one of our former undergraduates, Lim Bo-seng, loyalty; as long as we maintain your graduation is but the end of one stage in the school; but there is a difference. While here you have had the protection and guidance of your academic mother but now you are equipped to stand alone. Never be victims of such evil to stoop so low but will act Courageously and with courage and resolution.\n\nDAYA KHANRA.\n\nNanette Ho Kam Tim-cheng.
