Lieutenant François Garnier was a naval officer of great ability and merit; he had accompanied Captain de la Lagrée in his expedition up the Meikong River to explore a new route to the southern provinces of China and Thibet: and when that officer died he succeeded to the command of the party, and brought it safely through China to Hankow, and was preparing to prosecute his researches in Thibet when he was sent for by Admiral Dupré to take charge of an expedition to Tonquin.\n\n<<\n\nWhatever were Admiral Dupré's intentions in sending Garnier with an armed escort to Tonquin, certainly the Annamite Government considered it was for the purpose of removing Dupuis in accordance with their request. All, however, known about it was \"that it was sent to restore order\" but whether Dupuis was to be expelled or the Annamites supported, no one knew, but the title given him was Commandant-en-chef des forces de terre et de mer des côtes de Tongking, Envoi Extraordinaire de la Cochin-Chine.\" On the 10th of October the Annamite Envoys and Garnier and his party embarked in the \"D'Estrées,\" French man-of-war, towing a small gun-boat, the \"Arc.\" Calling at Tuson, two mandarins were sent from Huo to introduce Garnier to the Tonquinese authorities. The \"D'Estrées\" arrived at the Cua-cam River on the 24th of October, where Garnier obtained two junks, and left with his staff for Hanoi, which he reached on the 5th of November.\n\nA week before, another man-of-war, the 'Decrès, had been dispatched from Saigon, towing a gun-vessel, the \"Espingole.\" The \"Decrès \" arrived in the Cua-cam on the 7th of November, and the \"Espingole\" left at once for Hanoi with a crew of twenty-eight men, a medical attendant, Dr. Harmand, and a hydrographer, M. Bouillet, under command of an ensign, M. Baluy.\n\nM. Dupuis and his Chinese received Lieutenant Garnier, on landing at Hanoi, with military honours, and he at once penetrated into the citadel through one of the gates, and obliged the sentries to show him the house of Nguyen Tri-phuong, an old man with the title of Marshal or Commander-in-chief at Hanoi, and who had previously fought the French at Kihoa, and to whom he announced himself as the \"French Governor.\" Concealing his anger, Tri-phuong offered Garnier quarters in the native city, which he refused; but, frustrated in obtaining a house in the citadel, he accepted the building outside called the Examination Hall, and at present the French Consulate. As soon as he had left the city the gates were closed, and the officers who allowed him to enter were severely punished.\n\nGarnier at once began to negotiate. He said he had come at the request of Tuduc's Ministers; he had with him two mandarins sent by the Court of Hué, and had even been told he should meet at Hanoi a Minister Plenipotentiary, with whom he could treat. The Minister had arrived, but Nguyen Tri-phuong entirely ignored him, saying that Garnier had been sent not to make a Commercial Treaty, but to expel Dupuis.\n\nOn the day of his arrival Garnier issued a Proclamation. He said he was sent by France at the request of the Annamites, who had been asking at Saigon for help, and his mission was to destroy the pirates who attack vessels on the coast, and to facilitate commerce with Tonquin.\n\nIn the meantime, the \"Arc\" having been lost on the voyage to Tonquin, Admiral Dupré dispatched the gun-boat \"Scorpion\" to replace her.\n\nOn the 10th November M. Dupuis' steamer, the \"Manghao,\" brought a letter from Garnier to the captain of the \"D'Estrées,\" requesting reinforcements; and the following day the \"Scorpion,\" followed by the \"Manghao,\" proceeded up the river, the latter carrying a medical man, Dr. Dubut, and sixty men and three officers.\n\nThus the whole of the French forces at Hanoi on the 14th of November, 1873, not including Dupuis, were :\n\nThe \"Espingole,\" Messrs. Baluy, Harmand, and Bouillet, with 28 men. The \"Scorpion,\" Messrs. Garnier, Esmez, and Bouxin, with 50 men.\n\nThe detachment from the \"Decrès,\" Messrs. Bain, Hautefeuille, Perrin, and Dubut, with 60 men.\n\nThe 30 marines of M. de Trentenien.\n\nDr. Chedan and M. Lasserre, private secretary to Garnier. Altogether, 180 men.\n\n11\n\nOn the 19th of November, Garnier published a second Proclamation, making known the conditions of the intended Treaty of Commerce under French protection. Information had reached him that the Annamites were preparing to attack him, and he thought it would be better to strike the first blow himself; and, as the time he had given Nguyen Tri-phuong to communicate with the Court of Hué had expired, he resolved to attack the citadel the following day.\n\nAt daybreak on the 20th of November, the attack was made. A first column composed of 30 sailors with a gun, headed by M. Bain de la Coquerie, marched toward the south-western gate at 6 o'clock. A quarter of an hour later, Garnier himself left the Examination Hall for the south-eastern gate, with 3 guns, 40 sailors, and 30 marines.\n\nThe great\n\nThe Annamites, taken unawares, offered scarcely any resistance. difficulty in entering the citadel was to break open the gates made of hard wood, and it was necessary to bring the guns close to and fire at a distance of a few feet,\n\nWhile the southern gates were being stormed, the shells of the \"Espingole\" and the \"Scorpion were falling near the western gate, and, by frightening away the defenders of the place, contributed to the success of the day. M. Dupuis himself, though Garnier had declined his offer of service, was taking a share in the fight, and his soldiers, having managed to scale the Eastern Gate, entered the citadel first, and dispersed for pillage. Garnier, however, gave strict orders to stop all disorder, and by 7 o'clock, the citadel being entirely in his hands, he sent back all the troops to the Examination Hall, except the marines.\n\nSome 200 natives had been killed or wounded, while on the side of the French there was not a single casualty to report. A great number of officials were made prisoners, including the Envoy from the Court of Hué, who had been ignored by the Marshal, the Governor of Hanoi, the two sons of Phan Tanh-gian, who signed the Treaty of 1862 on behalf of Annam, and Nguyen Tri-phuong himself. The Marshal was found concealed in a house where he had taken refuge after receiving a wound in the thigh from a splinter of a shell, and from which he subsequently died.\n\nOn the same day Garnier reported to Saigon the capture of the citadel, and asked for reinforcements, and issued a Proclamation to calm the minds of the people.\n\nIt would occupy too much space to detail the subsequent proceedings of Garnier, and it will be sufficient to say he sent M. Balny with 15 marines to Towli, a town on the branch of the Song Koi above Hanoi to direct the authorities to submit; and, as he passed Hungyen, the Mandarins came out and offered their submission. After passing Fowli, Balny went to Haidzong, an important citadel in the Thai-dinh River, which he carried by a coup de main on the 4th of December.\n\nOn the 1st December Garnier sent a steam-launch under command of M. Haute-feuille, with instructions to M. Balny, and to require the submission of the Governor of Nam-dinh and Minh-binh, the latter of which he attacked with seven men, and captured it, taking the Tedoc or General prisoner. Garnier himself left Hanoi on the 4th December in the \"Scorpion,\" with M. Esnez and about 70 men, in addition to the crew for Nam-dinh, capturing a fort that opened fire upon him en route, and the town itself on the 10th of December, and he issued a fourth Proclamation to pacify the people. Thus, within a period of a month, Hanoi, the capital, Hungyen, Haidzong, Nam-dinh, and Han-dinh, all important cities commanding the delta of the Song Koi or Red River, had been captured.\n\nBut, after this, came the reverse. With a handful of men he had overrun the neighbouring country, but it required more than a handful to hold it. Constant attacks were made on the several positions thus occupied, and great difficulty was experienced in repulsing them. A rumour, too, which proved true, was about that Annamite troops were coming from the southern provinces. Tuduc, the King of Annam, was greatly incensed at the loss of Hanoi, and gave orders to the Viceroy of the Province of Nguyen to march against the French, and he himself sent every available soldier from Hué. These orders were partly executed when he changed his mind, and wrote to Saigon, giving his Envoys full powers to sign a Treaty of Commerce, and sent two Envoys to Garnier with full powers, and M. Sohier as Interpreter.\n\nGarnier, in occupying the forts situated on the delta of the Song Koi, had evidently in view the keeping open his communication with the sea, but he had not secured his rear by the capture of the military city of Soutay, some thirty miles west of Hanoi, where resided the Tong Thong, Hoang Ke-vien by name. This officer had increased his army by troops recalled from the north, where they were fighting the so-called rebels, but in truth the Black and Yellow Flag Chinese factions on the frontier, who were at war with each other.\n\n231", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 299398, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876", "page_number": 237, "title": "CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876", "content_text": "12\n\nI mentioned previously that the borders of Tonquin have for a long time been in a very disturbed state, being in possession of two clans of Chinese, distinguished as the Black and Yellow Flags. Now, while Garnier was over-running Tonquin, the Hwang Ki, or Yellow Flags, defeated the Hei Ki, or Black Flags, and obliged part of them to escape to Laoki, and part to descend the Song Koi and take refuge in Tonquin, and these fugitive Black Flags were enlisted by Hoang Ki-vien to fight the French.\n\nOn the 19th of December, the day after the arrival of Garnier at Nam-dinh, 300 or 400 of these Black Flags had joined the Annamites, but there was a rumour in Hanoi they numbered no less than 900, with 2,000 scaling ladders.\n\nGarnier, having decided upon action, immediately arranged for an attack upon Hoang Ki-vien. Dupuis, with his steamer, the \"Manghao,\" was to go up the river to prevent the descent of any troops. The \"Espingole,\" commanded by Balny, was to go a little below Soutay to fire upon the Annamites if they retreated to that fortress, whilst Garnier himself was to attack the Black Flags in front, but Balny being ill the attack was deferred to Sunday, the 21st December, but the day before- the 20th-Tuduc's two Ambassadors arrived. They were received in the citadel with honours, had full powers, and were willing to grant all that was asked, and a Treaty would soon be signed, and war was over. But Garnier was only being lulled into security, for it was reported that the Ambassadors had remained several days in the neighbourhood of Hanoi, and had several interviews with Hoang Ki-vien.\n\nThe citadel of Hanoi is surrounded by a narrow path about 600 or 700 feet from the walls known as the city enceinte. Into this path, almost opposite the West Gate, runs a small road which leads to Phu Hoai, and crosses a thicket at a distance of about 1,800 yards from its beginning. About three miles further another road traverses the Phu Hoai road, also an offshoot of the enceinte, on this road there is a grove of bamboos enclosing some cottages, and this was the spot attacked by Garnier himself, and where he was killed.\n\nOn Sunday, the 21st December, 1873, after having divine service at 8 o'clock, the officers were talking of the cessation of the war and the early settlement of affairs, and Garnier had gone to see the Ambassadors, when at 10 o'clock the interpreters came in great haste to announce that Hoang Ki-vien's troops (Annamites and Black Flags) were attacking the citadel. When Garnier was informed of the attack, M. Perrin went with two men to the western bastions, whence he saw a large body of Annamites and Chinese who, under shelter of houses and bamboo groves, were firing at the gate from a distance of 600 feet; Garnier, who thinking the attack was from several sides, had ordered M. Bain to go with some men to the north, arrived some time after with a dozen men at the same spot and sent M. Perrin for a gun.\n\nTen minutes later the gun was placed on the south-western gate, and M. Perrin in charge of it received orders to fire upon the enemy, while Garnier himself went to prepare a sortie.\n\nThe Commander of the \"Espingole,\" M. Balny, who, at the time of the alarm, was with his brother officers in the citadel, had rushed to his vessel to obtain reinforcements, and soon after he was seen with his small party of twelve men following the southern wall and passing the ditch of the fort.\n\nBefore the well-directed fire from the south-western gate, the Annamites had gradually fallen back to the high path or enceinte, and these dividing themselves into two lines, some continued to fire in retreating on the Phu Hoai road; while others turning to the right took the city road.\n\nBalny began at once to pursue the enemy, while the shells of the fort passing over his troops were scattering the Annamites with great havoc. During the same time Garnier had organized his party and sallied out from the south-eastern gate with eighteen men and a gun. Balny pursued the enemy to a small grove on the Phu Hoai road, some 2,500 feet from the citadel, and was there lost sight of from a depression of the road. The fire of the south-western gun was then directed to the first wood, situated on the road which leads from the city path to the Phu Hoai road, describing a sort of semi-circle.\n\nTowards that spot Garnier was proceeding, he was marching at the head of his men in a careless and excited manner. Before reaching the city path he left behind him the gun with two men and the master-at-arms of the \"Decrès,\" a great mistake, since the gun was rendered useless while Garnier's men were in front of it. The gun of the south-western gate was firing all the time on the circular road, and had Garnier used his own gun the place would have been entirely cleared of the enemy, but his march onward again prevented the citadel gun from continuing to fire. The men also were permitted to stray among the bushes and behind the houses in search of the Annamites, and, as the event proved, this mistake was fatal to the Commander himself. Garnier could be seen leading the skirmish with his men armed with bayonets. When Garnier neared the wood, he divided his troop into two bands, one headed by himself and the other under the command of a Sergeant of Marines; each column was to follow one side of the wood and both were to meet again at the end of it.\n\n13\n\nThe Sergeant of Marines kept his men closely together; they were walking slowly and carefully, and when they arrived at the limit of the wood only one had been wounded, but Garnier was not there. The Sergeant then came back by the way his Chief was to have followed, and at a short distance he found two headless bodies, one of them being his Commander. It appears that Garnier's foot having caught in a hole, he fell to the ground, and, before his men could join him, was surrounded by Chinese from behind the trees and speared, and his head severed from his body and taken as a trophy of victory. Sergeant Dagome, shot near Garnier, was mutilated in the same manner, and had one hand cut off. M. Balny with his party were still ahead, running after the Annamites on the Phu Hoai road, as far as a temple built at the junction of that path and the circular road, about three miles from the citadel. Here he met some thirty or forty Chinese who, far from retreating, came boldly on. Balny fired the six shots of his revolver and drew his sword, but was seen to fall backwards, while a shot killed his quarter-master at his side, named Lorre. The rest of the party took refuge behind the temple, and the Chinese having retired, Dr. Chedan led his companions, two of them wounded, back to the citadel, picking up on the way the body of Bonifay, also headless.\n\nBy 2 o'clock every one had returned to the fort, with the loss of Garnier, Balny, Dagome, Lorre, and Bonifay. Six others had been wounded, including the head gunner of the south-western battery.\n\nIt would make this despatch too long to go into details of the circumstances following this event, so I will merely state that Garnier, Dagome, and Bonifay, were buried with military honours behind the Hall of Ceremonies, on the 23rd of December, but it was not until the 4th of January, 1874, that the bodies of Bonifay and Lorre were sent by the Annamites; on the 6th of that month the five heads, after being carried in triumph through all the cities of Tonquin, were restored.\n\nAfter the capture of Hanoi Garnier sent the \"Decrès\" to Saigon with the prisoners, and asked for reinforcements. Admiral Dupré, embarrassed at the news, despatched, on the 7th December, M. Philastre, Senior Inspecteur des Affaires Indigènes, with one of the two Annamite Ambassadors, then residing at Saigon, to Hué to apologize for the capture of the citadel, and to obtain a Treaty of Commerce. At the same time the \"Decrès\" was receiving the reinforcements asked for by Garnier, and the news of her arrival in the Cua-cam reached Hanoi on the evening of the day of Garnier's death, the men being brought on to the citadel by the \"Scorpion.\"\n\nIt would occupy too much space to follow the events which led up to the surrender of the citadel of Hanoi, and the towns held by the handful of French after being captured by Garnier. M. Philastre on his arrival reversed all that Garnier had done, surrendered to the Annamites all the occupied places, and concluded a Convention, a copy of which I annex. Finally, a Treaty was concluded at Saigon, on the 15th March, 1874, between the President of the French Republic and the King of Annam, supplemented afterwards by a Commercial Treaty, dated 31st August, 1874, and with these conclude an episode which may be termed a romance.\n\nI have borrowed largely from M. Henri Cordier's pamphlet called \"A Narrative of Recent Events in Tonquin,\" for when at Hanoi I found it confirmed in every particular, and I doubt if I could have given so graphic a sketch of M. Garnier and Mr. Dupuis proceedings as I found in that pamphlet. I had described to me on the spot the citadel and the points of attack, and I stood on the small plot of ground at the rear of the Hall of Ceremonies where Garnier and his four comrades were buried, and I lived, during my stay, in the Examination Hall, which he first occupied. That he was a man of great dash, courage and ability, is evident; whether, however, he was justified in the course he took or acted upon his own responsibility, it is impossible to say; the result, however, I venture to think, has not been either politically or commercially a success to the French.\n\nOf M. Dupuis little remains to be said. The Saigon Government seized his vessels and he was ruined. His people, 136 in number, were supported for a few months by the Saigon Government, at a cost of 600 dollars a-month, and then dispersed.

Translation into Chinese.\n\nThe inhabitants of the sea-shore in tropical countries wait every morning with patience for the coming of the sea breeze. It usually sets in about ten o'clock. Then the sultry heat of the oppressive morning is dissipated, and there is a delightful freshness in air, which seems to give new life to all for their daily labours. About sunset there is again another calm. The sea breeze is now over, and in a short time the land breeze sets in. This alternation of the land and sea breezes—a wind from the sea by day, and from the land by night—is so regular, in the tropical countries, that it is looked for by the people with as much confidence as the rising and setting of the sun.\n\n# FIRST CLASS.

DICTATION.\n\nA majestic uniformity is the character of European woods, which often consist of only one species of tree; but in the tropical forests an immense variety of families strive for existence, and even in a small space one tree scarcely ever resembles its neighbour. Even at a distance this difference becomes apparent in the irregular outlines of the forests, as here a dome-shaped crown, there a pointed pyramid, rises above the broad flat masses of green, in ever varying succession. On approaching differences of colour are added to irregularities of form; for while our forests are destitute of the ornament of flowers, many tropical trees have large blossoms, mixing in thick bunches with the leaves, and often entirely overpowering the verdure of the foliage by their gaudy tints.\n\n# FIRST CLASS.

It is when in this state that the Sands are most dangerous; not only because ships that then strike on them gradually sink into the ooze, but also because then the sand shifts from place to place, so as to render charts useless for any length of time.\n\nIt is noble to seek truth, and it is beautiful to find it. It is the ancient feeling of the human heart, that knowledge is better than riches; and it is deeply and sacredly true.\n\nTo mark the course of human passions as they have flowed on in the ages that are past; to see why nations have risen and why they have fallen; to speak of light, and heat, and the winds; to know what man has discovered in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; to hear the chemist unfold the marvellous properties which the Creator has locked up in a speck of earth—it is worth while in the days of our youth to strive hard for this great discipline.\n\nA life of knowledge is not often a life of injury and crime.

There civilisation has struck its roots deepest, and stretched its branches widest. There the arts and sciences have reached their highest development. There the great mechanical inventions which have knit the world into one vast inter-dependent society have had their birth; and commerce, manufactures, and agriculture have been brought to the greatest perfection. Europe has laid the whole world under contribution for the supply of her physical wants. In return the whole world has been laid under obligation to her for not less real benefits.\n\n100 words usual length.\n\n### Class II.

It bound the king not to demand money from his people without the consent of the great vassals and of the burghers of the cities; it required that no one should be made an officer of justice unless he had a knowledge of the law, and that the chief court of justice should not move about with the king, but be always in one place.\n\nNor was the king to sell, refuse, or delay justice to any man, nor to seize the person or goods of any freeman without the lawful judgment of his peers,—i.e., equals—according to the law of the land.\n\n### Class IV. A.\n\n(Translate the first part only. End with the words “front ranks.”)\n\nSometimes the people turn out of the village which the locusts are approaching, and attempt to stem the torrent. They dig trenches, they kindle fires, they attack them with branches of trees, they sweep them back with brushes; but all to no purpose. The trenches become filled with living locusts, the fires are smothered with dead ones, and the vast column moves on in complete ignorance of the fate of the front ranks.\n\nAs for attempting to brush away this terrible enemy, one might as well expect to sweep back the flowing tide with a broom. Even the direction of the march cannot be changed. A common instinct seems to carry them right onward. They pursue their line of march with the regularity of a disciplined army.\n\n### Class IV. B.C.\n\n(Translate the first part only. End with the word \"fatigue.\")\n\nThe wise Romans made excellent roads, extending through all parts of their empire; and some of them can yet be traced in England, running along as straight as an arrow.\n\nOne of these is Watling Street, so often mentioned in history. After the fall of the Roman Empire their roads were neglected, they fell into decay, and the traveller could hardly proceed without great danger, or, at least, great fatigue.\n\nIt is so with all the crafts, and they are inseparably dependent one on another. The mason waits on the carpenter for his mallet, and the carpenter on the smith for his saw; the smith on the smelter for his iron, and the smelter on the miner for his ore. Each, moreover, needs the help of all the others—the carpenter the smith, as much as the smith the carpenter; and both the mason, much as the mason both. This helplessness of the single craftsman is altogether peculiar to the human artist. Amongst the lower animals it is not seen; and they have never heard of such a doctrine as that of the division of labour.\n\n100 words usual length.\n\n## DICTATION.\n\n### Class II. C.\n\nShot is made by pouring melted lead through a colander, from a great height, into water beneath. In the descent, the shot becomes globular, from the same cause that drops of rain assume that form in falling. In various manufacturing towns shot of all sizes is made on a large scale, more or less slowly falling into water beneath. The opposition of the air causes the roundness; and the coldness of the water does the hardening at once.\n\nAll but one of your horse plunged into a marsh, you came to a river, and the bridge was broken.

End with the words “her cottage window,”)\n\nThere was once a poor old widow, who, finding it hard work to get her living at home, thought she would like to go to the gold-diggings in Australia. So she crossed the sea to that far-off country, taking with her only the treasures she possessed. One of these was a pet skylark, which had been used to live in a small wicker cage, outside her cottage window.\n\nWhen she was at home, she and her neighbours used to sit under her door, taking their dinners. Day after day, the lark sang his happy song beside her door. She listened, and it cheered her. When she got to Australia, she hired a hut, and got her living by washing the gold-diggers' clothes, and it cheered her at her work.

The Railway System \n\nThe distance between Laokay and Yunnan-fu is understood to be about the same by either route - almost 300 miles.\n\nSome 20,000 coolies have been imported from China, and the work of infrastructure has commenced along the entire length. The laying of the rails will evidently be deferred until the line to Laokay is completed and handed over. Hopes have been expressed that the Yunnan Railway will be finished by 1908, but these seem rather optimistic, especially in view of the frequent reports of dissatisfaction on the part of the Chinese coolies at work on the line.\n\n### (c.) The Kwangsi Lines \n\nAs regards the extension of the northern system into Kwangsi, very little appears to have been done in the last year. The 34 miles from Porte de Chine to Lungchow have been surveyed, and surveys are in progress between Lungchow and Nanning (112 miles), and between Nanning and Kwangchow Wan (267 miles).\n\n## 3. The Hanoi-Saigon Line \n\nThe importance of the Hanoi-Saigon line, in view of rapid communication for the defence of the Colony, has lately forced itself on the attention of the Colonial Government, and it is probable that the filling up of the two great gaps in the line as forecast in 1898, namely, of 186 miles between Vinh and Kuangtri, and 372 miles between Tourane and Nhatrang, will shortly be authorized. On the other sections of the line, excepting the 203 miles between Hanoi and Vinh which have lately been opened to traffic, work has proceeded with extreme slowness, the natural difficulties in many parts of the ground to be traversed being augmented by difficulties in the labour market, causing disputes between the contractors and the Public Works Department, which have obliged the Government to cancel the contracts and put en régie the work on two sections of the line, namely, Hue-Tourane and Saigon-Tanlinh.\n\n### (a.) Branches to the Mekong Valley \n\nSeveral branches are projected from the trunk line to tap the Mekong Valley. A line is being surveyed between Vinh and Lakhon, on the Mekong, by way of the valley of the Se Bang Fai. This line is meant to serve a navigable course of 250 miles through fertile country and important markets, which course at present is useless owing to the rapids which obstruct the Mekong between this course and the sea. Another line is projected from Hanoi to the Mekong, for which the approval of the Minister for the Colonies has lately been obtained. No further information is to hand regarding the Khong-Kratie line or the proposed lines from the coast to Savannaket and Attopeu.\n\n### (b.) Branch to Langbian Plateau \n\nA more important branch line is that to the sanatorium of the Langbian Plateau. Phanrang has now been substituted, in place of Tanlinh, as the starting point of this line - an alteration which has diminished the length of the proposed line by half, the expense of construction being correspondingly curtailed and a saving effected of some 20,000,000 fr. on the Estimates of 1895. The Russo-Japanese war has drawn the attention of the French authorities to the importance of having a proper sanatorium for the acclimatization of troops on their arrival from France, and the construction of this line as far as Daulin was accordingly sanctioned in January of this year.\n\n## 4. The Southern System \n\nCochin-China has been rather neglected in the matter of railway construction. The Saigon-Mytho line has been running for almost twenty-five years, but enterprise appears to have stopped there. An extension from Mytho to Cantho was forecast in the Law of 1898, and received a vote of 10,000,000 fr. The surveys of this line are now completed, but construction is not yet begun, and may even be deferred in favour of works on the Hanoi-Saigon line.\n\n## 5. The Financial Aspect \n\nOf the loan of 200,000,000 fr. of 1898, the amount realized by the end of the year 1904 was 120,000,000 fr. There is still left, therefore, a sum of 80,000,000 fr., which will probably be realized this year. Of the 120,000,000 fr. already drawn, the balance which the Colony had in hand at the end of 1904 was 13,000,000 fr.\n\nAs already mentioned, the alteration in route of the Langbian branch railway is to effect a saving of 20,000,000 fr. on the estimate of 1891. Against this sum is to be set about 3,000,000 fr. excess of actual over estimated expenditure on other lines.\n\nThe following Table gives the present estimate for the construction of the railways decreed in 1898, for which the estimate then was 200,000,000 fr.:\n\n| Railway | Present Estimate (In Million fr.) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Hanoi-Laokay | 53 |\n| Hanoi-Vinh | 33 |\n| Hue-Kuangtri | 7.3 |\n| Hue-Tourane | 17.7 |\n| Nhatrang-Tanlinh | 28 |\n| Tanlinh-Saigon | 13.5 |\n| Langbian Branch | 20.5 |\n| Mytho-Cantho | 10 |\n| Grand total | 183 |\n\n1. Sketch showing general direction of the old and new surveyed routes of the Yunnan Railway.\n2. Map of Railway Systems of Indo-China.\n\n## II - The Agricultural Concession System \n\n### 1. Failure of French as Planters \n\nIn his Report for the March quarter 1903 Mr. Little pointed out that French planters were being encouraged by the Indo-China Government to settle in the Colony by means of assisted passages, grants of concessions, &c. He further added that some 675 concessions had been granted to Europeans, covering an area of about 660,000 acres. The number of planters he estimated at 350, accounting for the difference between this figure and the number of concessions by the hypothesis that a planter might hold more than one concession.\n\nIt would appear, however, according to a French writer,* that the greater part of the settlers who came out from France to take up these concessions were ignorant of the value of the lands presented to them, ignorant even of the exact situation of these lands, for they had been satisfied with the vague information of prospectuses, and, moreover, no maps of the interior on a large scale had yet been made. Many of the settlers, on arriving at their estates, found these would require expensive irrigation and other works before they could be made remunerative. Accordingly, after a semblance of exploitation, the cultivation of the lands thus conceded was given up, and they remain still undeveloped. It is probably for this reason, then, that the number of concessions granted is so greatly out of proportion to the actual number of planters.\n\nContrasted with this failure on the part of European settlers, those natives who received grants of land - a much smaller number than the Europeans - usually ...\n\n* \"L'Indo-Chine et son Avenir économique.\" A.

MacDonald to Sir Edward Grey.—(Received February 17.)\n\nTokió, January 18, 1908.\n\n(No. 10.) Sir,\n\nI HAVE the honour to forward to you herewith copy of a despatch which I have addressed to Sir J. Jordan on the subject of Japanese infringements of British trade-marks in China.\n\nAt the same time I would beg to lay before you the following remarks on the general subject of trade-mark imitations in Japan and China, and the legal remedies available against them. These remarks are based on a Memorandum drawn up by the Commercial Attaché of this Embassy.\n\nTrade-mark imitations in Japan may be divided into the following five classes:\n\n1. Where a trade-mark pirate has been successful in registering a foreign trade-mark, and is therefore legally entitled to use it on his inferior goods.\n\nA remedy exists in this case if the pirate's trade-mark resembles one already registered by another person, when cancellation may be demanded at the Patent Bureau (cf. Lea and Perrin case), or if the mark was in use prior to 1899, and three years have not elapsed since its registration. Otherwise the mark is unassailable, and the only alternative for the manufacturer whose mark has been pirated is to start an entirely new one for the Japanese market (cf. Winsor and Newton case).\n\n2. Where a pirate imitates a foreign trade-mark registered in Japan by the foreigner, but makes several differences in the mark and adds his own name and address.\n\nThe best procedure under these circumstances is to get a decision from the Patent Bureau as to whether the imitation resembles the registered trade-mark closely enough to enable the original owner to bring an action against the imitator with any chance of success. Should the Patent Bureau's decision be favourable, an action may then be brought. (This is the course which might have been followed with advantage in the \"Black and White\" whisky case.)\n\n3. Where a pirate imitates a foreign trade-mark registered in Japan, but makes either no differences, or very trifling ones, and carefully conceals his own name and address.\n\nThe only remedy is to set detectives to work to discover the pirate and bring an action against him. It is an expensive course, and foreigners are often reluctant to take the necessary steps. (A good example of this sort of imitation is Crosse and Blackwell's vinegar.)\n\n4. Where a pirate imitates a foreign trade-mark not registered in Japan. Nothing can be done to the pirate in this case. He can, in fact, usually succeed in registering the trade-mark in his own name if he wishes to, in spite of the provision of Article 2, clause 3, of the Trade-mark Law, that trade-marks in regard to which the apprehension exists that they will deceive people cannot be registered.\n\n5. When a Japanese manufacturer, to further his sales, uses a mark which, though not actually an imitation of any foreign trade-mark, is got up in foreign style, and arranged so as to lead an unsuspecting native to imagine that he is buying a genuine foreign article. The following may be quoted as examples of this class:\n\nBiscuits: These are put up in tins in a style which, though they would not deceive a foreigner for a moment, make the ordinary Japanese think he is buying a foreign article.\n\nSugar, which in its cube form is made to resemble that made by the Western Sugar Refining Company.\n\nInks: Caw's inks are not absolutely imitated, though the casual impression on looking at the Japanese production at a distance is that it is Caw's.\n\nPencils, studs, and sleeve-links, polishing powders, boot polishes, soaps, scents, hair-oil, sauces, paints, varnishes, &c., are made locally to look like the imported article.\n\n[2842 r-]\n\n-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 418877, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-355 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [1-3]", "page_number": 455, "title": "CO129-355 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [1-3]", "content_text": "On the occasion of the visit of the U.S. American Fleet to Wellington, to be found in the papers of 41,885/08.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\nHongkong.\n\n17.5.\n\nReply generally on proposal by Sir R.

Correspondence between your consulate, the Customs taotai, and the Shen P'an Ting has been endless, and we take this opportunity of thanking you for the forcible way in which you have brought our claims to the notice of the Chinese authorities, but as far as any practical result is concerned, we fear that our claims are no nearer settlement than when they were first handed to the Chinese authorities. This is entirely due, in our opinion, to procrastination on the part of the Chinese authorities, who are not making any serious attempt to bring pressure to bear on the defaulting native firms.\n\nIn all our dealings with these firms, we have rigidly carried out our contracts, and perhaps it would be as well to remind the Chinese that these contracts are mutual and involve obligations on their part as well as on ours. In making importations on behalf of the Chinese, we undertake serious responsibilities, and these responsibilities are no less binding on us because the Chinese wish to evade their part of the contract. Moreover, they are fully aware that in making contracts with us, they have the protection of the English law to ensure that we shall act up to our obligations, and all we ask now is similar protection from the Chinese legal authorities.\n\nWhen a foreign firm fails, unless some arrangements are made with the full consent of all the creditors, that firm becomes bankrupt and its assets are realised and distributed proportionately amongst the creditors. There are instances of this actually occurring in Tien-tsin at the present time, and as there appears to be no proper Chinese law of bankruptcy, we think we have the right to insist that Chinese firms against which we have claims should be dealt with in the same way as we should have been if we had failed to carry out our contracts with them. In this connection, it may be as well to enumerate article 7 of the Anglo-Chinese treaty of 1858:\n\n| Article 7 of the Anglo-Chinese Treaty of 1858 |\n| --- |\n| \"A British subject having reason to complain of a Chinese must proceed to the consulate and state his grievance. The consul will enquire into the merits of his case, and do his utmost to arrange it amicably. In like manner, if a Chinese has reason to complain of a British subject, the consul shall no less listen to his complaint, and endeavour to settle it in a friendly manner. If disputes take place of such a nature that the consul cannot arrange them amicably, then he shall request the assistance of the Chinese authorities, that they may together examine into the merits of the case, and decide it equitably.\" |\n\nTo a certain extent, this procedure has been adopted in cases which have been tried by the Shen P'an Ting, but, as we have said before, without any practical result. We need not dwell upon the various cases which have been tried by the Chinese judicial authorities, nor need we refer to the delays and postponements that have occurred, and even when judgment has been obtained, the failure to give effect to that judgment. Suffice it to say that we have tried to get justice and failed.\n\nWe now ask that the matter be referred to a higher authority. The Customs Taotai has proved himself incompetent or at any rate unable to deal with the situation. The Shen Pan Ting, with the native Chamber of Commerce acting as its guide, philosopher, and friend, has been worse than useless. We therefore suggest that the whole question be taken without further delay to the Viceroy, and we would like it to be made clear that we do not ask for any favours or preferential treatment---but simple justice. We maintain that if a Chinese firm has failed (and all those against which we have claims are in this position), that firm should be declared bankrupt, and its assets distributed proportionately amongst the creditors. The Chinese can insist on this being done---if they wish to---and we request that you will approach the Viceroy and ask him to give instructions to this effect.\n\nIf no satisfaction is obtained from the Viceroy within a reasonable time, we further request that the question be referred to a still higher sphere, viz., His Britannic Majesty's Minister in Peking, and that he be requested to insist that the Wai-wu Pu does something for the protection of our interests in terms of the Anglo-Chinese Treaty of 1858, a clause of which we have already quoted.\n\nIn conclusion, we would like to refer to the recently-instituted committee known as the relief commission. We understand that this commission is being fostered by German firms and backed by French and Japanese firms with the object of raising money to enable Chinese firms to tide over their difficulties, and incidentally to discharge their obligations to the aforesaid foreign firms. The object at first sight seems a laudable one, but we believe it is a fact that the better-class Chinese firms have not asked for and do not require relief. The native firms, which hope to benefit by this relief commission, are without exception firms of no standing whatever, whose business has only been possible by means of the credit system of dealing with foreign firms, which, owing to its abuse, has been made such a curse to the trade of this port.\n\nThe more we hear of this relief commission, the more clear it becomes that the primary object of its existence is to give relief to those foreign firms which have so largely overtraded with the Chinese, and in consequence now find themselves in difficulties.\n\nWe therefore wish to dissociate ourselves entirely from this relief commission and to request that it is in no way allowed to interfere with the prompt settlement of our claims against Chinese firms. If necessary, protests should be made to the German, French, and Japanese Ministers against the course of justice being delayed by this relief commission. If the commission thinks it is to the interests of trade to keep alive these bankrupt native firms, they should first buy out the British firms, and as we understand that the total British claims are not likely to exceed 250,000 taels approximately out of an estimated total among all foreign firms of 14,000,000 taels, there should be no difficulty, if the relief commission is worth anything at all, in raising such a comparatively small sum as would satisfy the British creditors.\n\nThe business morality of the Chinese until recently has been of a high standard, and we think it is a pity that they should lose their character for integrity and honesty for the sake of a few worthless Chinese firms which have been trading dishonestly on the credit obtained from foreign firms. In our opinion, it is not to the interests of the Chinese import trade to bolster up these rotten native firms; better that they should be weeded out, and clear the way for a good honest trade, which we may naturally assume will spring up as soon as the present crisis has been faced and a settlement effected, but not until then.\n\nThanking you to give our views your usual careful consideration, we are, &c.\n\n**Signed**\n\nWILLIAM FORBES AND Co. \nCOLLINS AND Co. \nMACKENZIE AND CO.

To speak of it being difficult to find employment for me in the Ordinary Clerical Subordinate service is simply most absurd and unfair.\n\nThe report from the Governor of Hong Kong seems to lead you to believe that I am not good enough for the P.W.D.\n\n...\n\nMr. Perrin, 275 High Street, Hough, Bucks.\n\n26.1.10.\n\nRcce Ref 27 JAN 10\n\nV413411909\n\nLith's\n\n2641", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-374 - Public Offices & Others - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 430097, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-374 - Public Offices & Others - 1910", "page_number": 289, "title": "CO129-374 - Public Offices & Others - 1910", "content_text": "26 703/1910.\n\nSir,\n\n6/2308\n\nReceived FEB 10\n\n4/o Mr Ferrin,\n\n73.

On Saturday a luncheon was given at the Kam Ling Restaurant, West Point, in honour of H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, and the affair was carried out with great success. About 180 gentlemen were present, including over 30 guests. The approach to the restaurant was most elaborately decorated in the Chinese manner, and the dining-room was a mass of beautiful flowers. Festoons added to the brightness of the room.\n\nFlags were used in the decoration. A large crowd had gathered in the streets to witness the arrival of the Royal party at about 12:30. The Duke, who was accompanied by H.E. the Governor, was received by Sir Shou-son Chow, Sir Robert Ho Tung, Dr. Tso, and other prominent members of the Chinese community. A number of Chinese gentlemen had the honour of being introduced to His Royal Highness, who shook hands with them and exchanged a few words of greeting. Lunch was then served immediately, and included the usual choice dishes offered on such occasions—birds' nest soup, turtle, shark fins, etc. There were no speeches, but the toast of \"The King\" was duly honoured. The Duke and party left at about 1:45, His Royal Highness thanking his Chinese friends for their hospitality.\n\nOther guests at the luncheon included members of the Prince's suite, the Governor's staff, Capt. Arbuthnot, of H.M.S. **Suffolk**, members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, and representatives of the leading business houses.\n\nThe following were among those present:\n| Name | Company/Organization |\n| --- | --- |\n| F.

One likes to think of sunshine and blue clouds for such occasions—but it may well be that Prince Henry may be remembered as \"the King's son who brought the rain in time of famine.\"\n\nThe day's events were luncheon at West Point as the guest of the Chinese community; participation in four races at the Jockey Club's fourth extra meeting, Happy Valley, and then the ceremonious leave taking. His Royal Highness, though he did not win any of the events at Happy Valley, proved again that he is a very fine horseman, and few indeed have done so well at their first attempt on the course with a China pony. A full account of the races appears elsewhere.\n\n### DEPARTING FORMALITIES\n\n#### SCENE AT QUEEN'S PIER\n\nPractically the same formalities, only in different order, were observed at His Royal Highness's departure as at his arrival. Accompanied by His Excellency the Governor, the Royal visitor, who wore the tropical uniform of the 10th Hussars, arrived by car followed by three cars containing other members of the staff. They were preceded as usual by members of the police flying squad.\n\nIn front of the pier the guard of honour was provided by 3/15 Punjabis Regiment, the band and pipe and drum band of the battalion also being present.\n\nOn the pier, as at the landing, were the members of the Legislative Council, a number of Senior Naval, Military, and Air Force Officers, including Vice-Admiral A. K. Waistell and Major-General Sandilands, and prominent members of the Chinese community.\n\nAfter the National Anthem had been played and the Royal Salute given, Prince Henry and His Excellency inspected the Guard.\n\nPage 66\n\nF.

Unfortunately, so far as I know, no decision has ever been given by the courts on the above argument, because the case has always gone off on some other ground, and there appeared to be an impression abroad that the defence was a good one, and some officers, in the belief that it would be useless to prosecute in such a case, might have failed to act. The position was much the same with regard to adopted children. In order to dissipate this impression, and also to place the legal position beyond all possible doubt, it was decided to amend the section so as to make the point clear. Accordingly, paragraph (e) of section 2 of this Ordinance provides that for the purpose of section 45 of the principal Ordinance, i.e., for the purpose of proceeding against the kidnapper, the adoptive parent of a child under fourteen, and the employer of a child under fourteen, including the employer of a mui tsai under that age, shall be deemed to have had the lawful care or charge of the child. The paragraph also provides (a) that nothing in the sub-section in question is to be construed as affecting any rights of guardianship vested in the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, and (b) that nothing in the sub-section in question shall be construed as conferring on any adoptive parent or employer any right of retaining possession of a child as against the child's parent or guardian or as against the child.\n\nPage 9\n\n3. The opportunity was taken of making two other amendments of the same section. One of these two amendments is effected by paragraph (a) of section 2 of this Ordinance. Section 45 of the principal Ordinance formerly read, \"Every person who unlawfully, either by force or fraud, takes away any child\". Some little difficulty has sometimes been felt about the words underlined above in the case of very young children where it could hardly be said that either force or fraud was necessary for the kidnapping. Accordingly paragraph (a) of section 2 of this Ordinance deletes the words \"either by force or fraud\" and substitutes the words \"by any means\".\n\n4. The other amendment is made by paragraph (b) of section 2 of this Ordinance. Section 45 of the principal Ordinance formerly provided that \"no person who has claimed any right to the possession\" of the child and no person who \"has claimed to be the father of an illegitimate child\", should be liable to prosecution on the ground of having taken the child out of the lawful charge of some other person. No doubt these words referred to bona fide claims but it has been thought better to provide expressly that the claims must be bona fide.\n\n5. Section 3 of this Ordinance is an attempt to legislate for a matter which has been discussed off and on for fifty years. This section makes it an offence to take any part in any transaction the object of which is to transfer the possession of any minor under eighteen for any valuable consideration, unless the accused can prove that the transaction was bona fide and solely for a purpose of a proposed marriage or adoption in accordance with Chinese", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-519-8 Offences against the Person Amendment Ordinance- 1929 23-9-1929 - 28-9-1929.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 520904, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-519-8 Offences against the Person Amendment Ordinance- 1929 23-9-1929 - 28-9-1929", "page_number": 9, "title": "CO129-519-8 Offences against the Person Amendment Ordinance- 1929 23-9-1929 - 28-9-1929", "content_text": "Page 10\n\ncustom. \n\nThe section also makes it an offence to be in possession, without lawful authority or excuse, of any such minor who has been so dealt with after the date of the first publication of the bill, whether such minor was so dealt with within or without the Colony. No doubt, proof that the transaction was for the purpose of a Chinese marriage or adoption would bring a person within the exception of lawful authority or excuse. An offender against the section may be sentenced to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars or to imprisonment for any term not exceeding one year, or to both such fine and such imprisonment. No prosecution can be instituted without the consent of the Attorney General.\n\n6.\n\nSection 3 also contains three subsidiary provisions as follows:\n\n(a) It empowers the magistrate to \"find\" the age of the minor whether evidence of age be given or not.\n\n(b)\n\n(c) It provides that it shall be no defence to a charge under the section that the minor consented to the transaction, or that the minor received the consideration or any part thereof, or that the accused believed or had reasonable ground to believe that the minor was not under the age of eighteen.\n\nIt also provides that nothing in the section is to be considered as recognising in any way whatsoever the possibility that rights of possession, custody or control over any person can be transferred or\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-519-8 Offences against the Person Amendment Ordinance- 1929 23-9-1929 - 28-9-1929.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 520905, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-519-8 Offences against the Person Amendment Ordinance- 1929 23-9-1929 - 28-9-1929", "page_number": 11, "title": "CO129-519-8 Offences against the Person Amendment Ordinance- 1929 23-9-1929 - 28-9-1929", "content_text": "conferred for valuable consideration for \n\nany purpose. \n\nIn my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His \n\nExcellency the Governor may properly assent in the name \n\nof His Majesty and on His behalf. \n\nAttorney General. \n\n11 END", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-519-8 Offences against the Person Amendment Ordinance- 1929 23-9-1929 - 28-9-1929.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 521002, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-520-11 Request for permit for entry into U.K. for Russian servant 30-1-1930 - 31-1-1930", "page_number": 1, "title": "CO129-520-11 Request for permit for entry into U.K. for Russian servant 30-1-1930 - 31-1-1930", "content_text": "72720\n\nCLOSED UNTIL\n\nPrevious\n\nSubsequent\n\nCR\n\nPEO\n\nMElles\n\nC\n\nco\n\n$30\n\n20 129/520/11\n\n10/1\n\n10/1\n\nMOORSIN\n\nADMISSION TO ENGLAND\n\nThEllis\n\nTel Sector\n\nCR\n\n572\n\n5\n\n87A\n\nby4 115\n\nAdref 18/1\n\nCD.\n\nGlover: 120/\n\nCR.\n\nIn mashin\n\nNo Ellis\n\n874\n\nCR\n\nCR\n\nAm martin\n\n2511\n\n27/1\n\n28\n\n2/1/2 1/2\n\n(70613) Wt. 17079A-20 10m. 11/29 P.

Any surplus of Government subsidy would be earmarked for capital expenditure on improvements.\n\nAfter discussing the above estimates in detail, Major Creagh suggested that a $1,000,000 company could assure Hongkong an excellent service, extending probably as far as Rangoon and Singapore, but he did not see that this was necessary yet. It would be better to experiment with smaller scheme and connect up with the French and Dutch. He was as British as anyone, but he did not want to be so inconveniently British he could not be International. International co-operation was the essence of peace and progress in this part of the world.\n\nOpportunity to Be First. \"From October next the French and Dutch will, between them, run a bi-weekly service to Europe, but, once the French get into Hongkong, our job becomes twice as difficult, because there will only be half the income for us to work on, and, if they do come here, they will not be satisfied to stop at Hongkong but will push on parallel with us in our extensions Northward and Southward. Now is our opportunity to act and show them our willingness, from the beginning, to co-operate and so prove to them that there is no necessity for them to come further east than the confines of their own Colonial Empire.\"\n\nMajor Creagh concluded by inviting the meeting to form itself into a body to foster commercial aviation in the Colony and to form a business organisation having for its object the definite inception of an air line as suggested in his address.\n\nAn interesting discussion followed.\n\nMr. A. Ritchie, invited by Major Creagh to state the views of the Far East Aviation Co. Ltd., of which he is a director, explained that the company has been working for nearly three years more or less on the lines suggested in the speech just delivered. Major Creagh was correct in assuming that the company had experience, qualified men and funds adequate to carry out investigations. At the moment they felt that their plans were not ripe to come before the public with proposals, but they were approaching the Hongkong Government, Imperial Airways and other bodies with a view to forming a Hongkong public company.\n\nCapt. W.E.F. Jones, who represents the aviation department of Messrs. Arnhold & Co., Ltd., mentioned that his company had gone so far as to file a scheme with the Hongkong Government. Air lines in China had often met with failure on account of the political insecurity of the country although, apart from that factor, the country was the most promising in the world from an aviation point of view.\n\nHe thought the time was very close when air lines must be operated from Hongkong, which he regarded as a base of considerable importance to the chain of Imperial Air Routes which would operate from England. Hongkong was probably the crux of eastern air lines because from here lines could radiate in several directions.\n\nA company so operating would look first of all to China, but in that country profit was still far off.\n\nThe question was \"whether it is possible to operate air lines, with Government assistance, over territory which is Chinese, from termini that are not in Chinese territory?\" Capt. Jones suggested that in his estimates Major Creagh had omitted a number of necessary items which would involve increased capital, but points like those could be considered and adjusted.\n\nAir Lines and Flying Club. Finally, Capt. Jones mentioned, with regard to the comprehensive proposals submitted by Messrs. Arnhold & Co., to the Hongkong Government for operating air lines radiating from Hongkong, and also for operating a Flying Club, that his figures were a little more encouraging than he could have hoped for, but he must still rely upon a Government subsidy.\n\nIn reply to Mr. J. A. Plummer (Chairman of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce), Major Creagh said that China had not so far entered into agreements with other countries permitting them to fly over her territory.\n\nMr. Ritchie remarked that the subsidy offered by the Hongkong Government was totally inadequate. He suggested that Capt. Jones had formed the same opinion; but Capt. Jones said that, in his remarks, he had not said this.\n\nMr. Ritchie: \"We have satisfied ourselves clearly that it is so.\"\n\nMajor Creagh said that on learning there were two schemes already in the field he withdrew at any suggestion of promoting a third competing company, but he thought that since, before a line could be actually started, either of the two companies would have to go to the public for their capital, the meeting might usefully form itself into a body to speed things up by consulting with established companies and strengthening their appeal to Government by its wider interests.\n\nThe opinion was expressed in several quarters, however, that there would be no advantage in forming a special organisation for such a purpose since the Chamber of Commerce was in a position to judge impartially and already had the necessary strength and representation vis-a-vis the Government. The Chamber of Commerce would not, of course, take sides but it could and should support aviation generally.\n\nMotion Adopted.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. W.E.L. Shenton suggested that the meeting might well pass the following motion:\n\n\"That this meeting approves in principle the establishment of an air line between Hongkong and Hanoi.\"\n\nThis motion was carried unanimously on the proposition of the Hon. Mr. Shenton, seconded by the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson.\n\nThe proceedings concluded with an expression of thanks to Major Brasier-Creagh for his interesting and instructive address and to Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co. Ltd., for the use of their board room for the meeting.\n\nThe meeting was attended by Mr. J. A. Plummer (Chairman of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce); the Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton and the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson (Members of the Legislative Council); Messrs A.L. Shields, P. S. Cassidy and G.

A direct advertisement appearing in the leading newspapers of Japan, Korea, Peking, Tientsin, Shanghai, Canton, Hanoi, Haiphong, Saigon, Manila, Sarawak, Sandakan, Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Batavia, Soerabaja, and possibly Rangoon and Colombo together with descriptive articles and photographs of Hong Kong would, we believe, stimulate enquiries and eventually bring additional visitors to the Colony.\n\nThe other side is to interest the globetrotter, the tourist, and those who embark on a pleasure cruise, and persuade them to spend a greater part of their time in Hong Kong For this purpose a brochure and posters, setting out the beauties and attractions of Hong Kong should be prepared and distributed in Great Britain and Europe generally, throughout America, South Africa and Australia. Shipping companies, organisers of pleasure cruises and various Travel Agencies should be approached to bring Hong Kong to the notice of their clientele.\n\nIn time to come the brochure might become an annual booklet and a monthly pamphlet could be added showing current and pending events of interest, additions and revisions. Advertising should also be undertaken at some of the leading Tourist Centres abroad.\n\n6. The next object of the Association should be to provide better facilities for recreation and amusement available for a visitor to the Colony. The various private clubs in the Colony, especially for golf and tennis should be approached and asked to give facilities for the introduction of temporary visitors. Dressing accommodation should be made available at various beaches to enable visitors to have a swim. Maps should be prepared showing particularly the paths available for walking, and signposts should be erected for guidance and to enable visitors to locate places of interest. The question of the provision of competent guides for visitors should be thoroughly investigated by the Association. We consider further that the provision of an Aquarium would add greatly to the attractions of Hong Kong\n\n7. The Association should enter into correspondence and make close contact with Travel Associations in other parts of the world.\n\n8. While action can be taken on the lines we have proposed without the direct employment of whole time staff, other than possibly a competent stenographer, we consider that it is very desirable if funds are forthcoming that a whole time officer be engaged as a publicity agent. The right type of man capable of writing interesting articles which newspapers, magazines, &c. would accept, and capable of organising effective publicity will not be easy to find. An adequate salary must be offered to attract a suitable man.\n\n9. An Information Bureau where visitors can receive first hand and up-to-date information regarding the Colony, impending events and facilities for recreation would be useful adjuncts to the Association. It would obviously follow on the appointment of a whole time officer and may be possible even before that appointment can be made.\n\n10. The Urban Council, when formed, will, no doubt, be of great assistance to the Association.\n\n11. We have not attempted to prepare a full estimate of all the expenditure likely to be incurred by the Association. We foresee the necessity for adequate funds to cover the rent of suitable premises, which should be located centrally and easily accessible to the travelling public, and the salaries of full time employees, in addition to the actual cost of advertising and the production of a brochure, &c. Some expenditure on broadcasting from Far Eastern Stations may be desirable and in this respect we note with pleasure that experimental transmissions are being made from Z.B.W. on short wave. Nothing could be more effective in bringing Hong Kong to the notice of peoples in other lands than a powerful short wave broadcasting station. The manufacture and exhibition of cinema films of Hong Kong and of Chinese life in Hong Kong would also be effective propaganda. We have had this expenditure in mind, however, in recommending the grant from Government mentioned in paragraph 4 as we consider an income of at least $50,000 to $60,000 per annum is essential if the Association is to make a proper start. Additional funds will be necessary to continue the work adequately.\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient servants.\n\nW. J. CARRIE (Chairman).\n\nG. C. PELHAM.\n\nR. D. WALKER.\n\nC.

C. S.,\n\nAbout the middle of August this year, Mr. Perrin,\n\nthe Manager of Thomas Cook & Son, Ltd., Hong Kong Branch,\n\nrang me up and asked for my advice with regard to the\n\nstorage of 22 Wagons-Lits coaches which were in course of\n\ntransit to the Colony and were expected to arrive early in\n\nSeptember. I told him that we had no storage space\n\navailable and could not undertake the lift from ship to\n\nshore as our 65-ton breakdown crane was inadequate for the\n\npurpose. He was advised to approach Messrs. The Hong Kong &\n\nWhampoa Dock Company Ltd. and Holt's Wharf who, between\n\nthem, might be able to provide the necessary lifting\n\nfacilities; after being placed ashore arrangements could\n\nbe made to rail the coaches to the Canton-Hankow Railway\n\nwho would, no doubt, be in a position to provide siding\n\naccommodation.\n\n2.\n\nMessrs. the Hong Kong & Whampoa Dock Company Ltd.\n\nwere unable to undertake the lifting work and, in consequence,\n\nwe were requested by Mr. Perrin to perform the lift from\n\nlighters to the Praya sidings near Kowloon Station.\n\nPerrin was told that this was impossible, as there was\n\ninsufficient space for slewing.\n\n3.\n\nOn August 30th, Mr. Perrin informed us that he\n\nhad cabled his Head Office in Paris telling them the Railway\n\ncould not store the coaches. He had received a reply asking\n\nhim to try again. He said he had now been informed by\n\nMessrs. Holt's Wharf that they could run the coaches over\n\ntheir wharf sidings, and as the ship's crane could lift the\n\ncoaches on to their rails wanted to know if we could haul\n\nthem to our Railway.\n\n4.\n\nOn September 1st the Canton-Hankow Railway, who\n\nhad been approached by us, telegraphed that they were\n\nprepared to stable the coaches at Sai Chuen Junction (just\n\nnorth of Canton).\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-565-6 Kowloon-Canton railway- sidings for rolling stock 26-10-1937 - 7-1-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 556571, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-565-6 Kowloon-Canton railway- sidings for rolling stock 26-10-1937 - 7-1-1938", "page_number": 11, "title": "CO129-565-6 Kowloon-Canton railway- sidings for rolling stock 26-10-1937 - 7-1-1938", "content_text": "2.\n\n11\n\n(A)\n\n5.\n\nMr. Perrin was in a quandary; the coaches were expected to arrive in a week or so, and he had been told that they must not be sent into China. To help him out, we agreed to store the coaches on the conditions laid down in a letter dated 7th September 1937, a copy of which is attached. These conditions were agreed to by him on September 9th and we started to put in a siding 500 feet long at our own expense to enable the work to be accomplished. The only way we could handle this storage with the limited means at our disposal was to lay a short length of temporary track at a suitable angle to this siding, lift one bogie on to this short track by means of our 65-ton breakdown crane, slide the coach forward after picking up the rear bogie, lower the rear bogie and finally jack up the coach, block it, and remove the temporary track for the next operation.\n\n6.\n\nThe 22 coaches came alongside Holt's Wharf on September 21st, and Mr. R.J. Januszowski, the Acting Far Eastern Representative of the International Wagons-Lits Company, now came into the picture. He wanted siding accommodation for the coaches, firstly because there was an element of risk in lifting and stacking them; secondly the insurance applied only whilst they were on rails; and thirdly they would need blocking up if taken off the rails.\n\n7.\n\nThe question was discussed by the interested parties in my office on September 23rd. Mr. Januszowski stated that he would require 1,840 feet of sidings for the accommodation of the coaches. He was shown plan D.O. 1700 P, which illustrated the only way sidings could be provided in the limited space available. The question of finance was worked out in an equitable manner, so that neither the Wagons-Lits Company nor the Railway would lose money by this new", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-565-6 Kowloon-Canton railway- sidings for rolling stock 26-10-1937 - 7-1-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 556572, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-565-6 Kowloon-Canton railway- sidings for rolling stock 26-10-1937 - 7-1-1938", "page_number": 12, "title": "CO129-565-6 Kowloon-Canton railway- sidings for rolling stock 26-10-1937 - 7-1-1938", "content_text": "3\n\n12\n\nnew arrangement, and agreement was reached as per my note dated 23.9.37 attached.\n\n8.\n\nThe coaches were stored temporarily at Shatin Station (7 miles from Kowloon), on the Passenger Roads at Hung Hom Sidings, and at the Locomotive Sidings. It was pointed out to Mr. Perrin that this arrangement could not continue for more than two or three days, as we wanted this space ourselves. In the circumstances we asked for an early purchase of second-hand rails to enable the new sidings to be laid.\n\n9.\n\nOn September 30th Mr. Perrin wrote asking us to kindly arrange for the cars to be stabled at intermediate stations pending a reply from the Canton-Hankow Railway as to whether they could supply second-hand rails. He quite appreciated our difficulties and said that Januszowski understood that, if rails could not be obtained, reversion to the original plan of storage on open ground would be necessary after a short period. He said \"I would like to thank you personally for all you have done for the Company. Letters have already arrived from Home expressing their appreciation of what has been done under difficult conditions.\" Soon after this letter had been received, the coaches at the Hung Hom and Locomotive Sidings were transferred as a temporary arrangement to sidings at Taipo and Fanling (13 miles and 18 miles from Kowloon respectively), since when further moves have taken place from time to time to suit Railway demands.\n\n10.\n\nAs the Canton-Hankow Railway could not supply any rails, Mr. Perrin asked us on October 1st to proceed immediately with the construction of the new sidings at their expense, the sidings to become the property of the Kowloon-Canton Railway when storage ceased. The only rails available were new 35 kilogram ones which belonged to the Chinese\n\n(c)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-565-6 Kowloon-Canton railway- sidings for rolling stock 26-10-1937 - 7-1-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 556573, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-565-6 Kowloon-Canton railway- sidings for rolling stock 26-10-1937 - 7-1-1938", "page_number": 13, "title": "CO129-565-6 Kowloon-Canton railway- sidings for rolling stock 26-10-1937 - 7-1-1938", "content_text": "(D)\n\n(E)\n\n(F)\n\n13\n\nChinese Railways Purchasing Commission and were stored on the Railway Reclamation.

After careful consideration of all the pros and cons, and in view of the fact that the sidings had proved to be more expensive than anticipated owing to inability to obtain second-hand material, the conclusion was reached that further concessions could reasonably be made. Mr. Perrin's letter to me dated October 20th 1937 and my reply dated October 21st 1937 gives details of these concessions.\n\n12.\n\nPlan No. D.O.1700P. (two copies of which are enclosed) shows coloured yellow the position of the Wagons-Lits sidings. Siding AB, coloured red, was put in by us at our own expense when storage \"on the ground\" was contemplated; second-hand materials were available for its construction but, if they had not been, the siding would have cost $4,780.00.

We feel, therefore, that we should consider what might be the best course of action in the circumstances.\n\nThat which the Hong Kong Government would prefer, i.e., that they should first put their...\n\nCopy to D.
