A branch of the \n\nTai-tam\" road will lead to this town. \n\nTracing one's steps westward as if continuing round the island, one at length comes to \"Heongkong\" proper, a small agricultural village situated in a remarkably pret ty, and the most extensive valley on the island. \"Shek- pae-wan,\" often called by the Chinese \"Heongkong, Shek-pae-wan,\" would seem to be the sea port of Hong- kong proper, and to have once been a more flourishing place than it now is. There is here, on an isolated spot the largest Chinese temple to be found on any part of the island. The port of \"Shek-pae-wan,\" though small, is nearly land-locked; and having both a northern and a southwestern entrance, it is pretty easy of ingress and egress. An island of about two miles in circumference, called \"Tap-lee-chow\" protects it from southwest to north, and the island of Hongkong completes the circle. There is abundance of water for a line-of-battle ship, and is only fault is in being too small as an anchorage for many European vessels, yet there may be nearly as much anchoring ground in it as in the Inner Harbour of Macao. There is at present a small detachment of the Madras native iufantry with two officers and one doctor stationed at this place; and the road has been projected and parti- ally finished, from \"Kwun-tai-loo\" to it across the hills, \n\n■ distance of 3 to 4 miles. \n\nThere are other villages on the island, but as no pub- lic works are carrying on, at or near them, at the present date, it has not been thought necessary in this short sketch to make mention of them. \n\nVarious materials have been used in building. At the commencement no one thought of anything better than houses constructed of fan palm leaf, called by the Chinese kwai, the next stage, was having them boarded and made with doors and windows that could open and shat; then occasionally was found one room of brick, and the rest of the house of the aforementioned description. The first who set the example of a stone and brick house, was Mr. Matheson; government soon after commenced the magis- tracy and prison, others followed in their train, and now few Europeans think of a palm leaf house, except with cer- tain forebodings of fever and ague. \n\nSome wooden houses have been imported from Singapore, and are at present being erected upon a lower story of stone; but for large buildings such as barracks, where space and solidity (should no objection on the score of wholesomeness exist) are the principal considerations, a material made of the common soil or disintegrated rock of the place, sifted and mixed with lime, and then pounded between >trong boards into solid walls, seems to be as good as any- thing else, and costs about half what brick or stone would do. From the great thickness of the walls, also, this ma- terial is better adapted for keeping out the heat in suru- mer and the cold in winter; but it must be covered in- side and out with a thick coating of plaster. This being well done, and care taken in having the material well mixed and pounded together, there is every reason to expect that a building so constructed will last a very long time, and indeed attain additional solidity the older it becomes. \n\n| \n\nrope. \n\nmaterial is called ni-cheun by the Chinese at Hongkong, taipa by the Portuguese at Macao, and the manner of making it answers to the description of the pisé of Eu- Stone is, however, best adapted for building near the sea, and it will be found to cost as little as brick. \n\nSome wood has been brought from Singapore and Manila, but as it is dearer than Chinese wood now, and requires much more labour to work it, the latter seems to be preferred. Nothing but cheapness would induce one to use the Manila and Singapore wood for other purposes than floorings, as it is excessively heary; and for roofs the Chinese timber will last as long as the tiles. \n\nThe productions of the Island are at present not very numerous. Round most of the villages both on the northr and the south side of the island are found very fine Mango trees. The \"Lichee,\" the Longan,\" the Orange, and the Pear-trees seem also to thrive very well, the soil being deep between the rocks, and, (according to the opinion of some of the gardeners from the gardens near Canton) of an excellent quality for trees of every sort, some of which have been already planted. There is not much rice-cultivation on the Island, and what there is, being only on the level parts, is likely soon to be discontinued for the cultivation of vegetables more sought after by Europeans, or to be purchased and turned into spots for building upon. \n\nSweet potatoes, and a few of the other Chinese vegetables are likewise grown; and, doubtless, when the agricultural part of the inhabitants begin to find a demand for other than Chinese vegetables, others will be produced. Some small additional patches of ground on different parts of the Island, previously unproductive, have since its occupation by the English been brought into cultivation. Fish is abundant, and much of it is cured at \"Chek-chu,\" as well as at other fishing villages. \n\nOwing to the Roads and paths that have already been eut, parts of the Island are now easily got at where for- merly it was difficult to go; and the dry coarse grass and fern which abounds in the bills is brought down in large quantities, and with such facility as to render it cheaper, combined with other circumstances, for Chinese boats to careen at Hongkong, than at any neighbouring places. The grass and fern are need by the Chinese for killing the insects that have eaten into the bottoms of their boats. \n\nMany little arts are now practised among the working portions of the population, which three months ago were not known at Hongkong. Every house that is building of stone gives employment to an itinerant blacksmith, who is required to point the stone cutter's tools. Mattrass- makers may also be seen cleansing their cotton with their oddly constructed bow-and hawkers of every description ahound, as well as the various sort of fortune-tellers, jugglers, quacks, and actors, that are seen in all well populated Chinese towns. \n\nLime-kilns have necessarily increased, and there are many places where the soil is adapted for bricks, so that we may some day see the art of brick making introduced. Tanning is likewise carried on pretty extensively, and the cattle that are consumed by the European classes. afford the hides. \n\nThe Population has often been estimated at about 15.000 souls, and it is probable this number is by no means an over-estimate. Until the population, however, gets regularly fixed, it will not be easy to obtain a censur. They are bard-working, industrious, and cheerful, as the Chinese usually are; and they appear to be too much en- gaged with their own affairs to have time for idleness and graver crimes--which of late have been anything but of frequent occurrence among them.. \n\nThere are not more than a dozen horses un the island, \n\nand one carriage; a few small flocks of sheep and some goats, Cattle for the consumption of the Europeans are easily obtained, and some of the cows have been found to afford rather a good supply of rich milk, when taken care of and fed with grain. \n\nThe ancient houses at Macao as well as the Many of the complaints about excessive heat, and ex- walls of the city are made of this material; and the Chi-cessive cold and dreadful uuhealthiness, are being for- \n\nnese may occasionally be seen, when it is required to gatten, except among those who have little else to occupy pull some part of one of them down, cutting out bits of it their attention-amidst the general bustle and activity of with wedges and pickaxes, as if it were stone.

The Government offices are in a temporary building which is falling to pieces; the General commanding has hired an inn for his residence. There is only one small barrack in Victoria, and that has been recently erected; it is not possible to rent a decent house under 160 to 180 dollars per month, about 400l. sterling per annum.\n\nThe Church Service is conducted in a mat shed; the civil and military officers are glad to get a location or even a room in any spot on any terms; and the prices of living and of servants, &c., (see Documentary Appendix) are enormous: while the whole population of the island is entirely dependent for its daily supply of food on the Emperor of China's subjects on the main land of China.\n\nCommerce.-There is no trade of any noticeable extent in Hong Kong: vessels occasionally touch here on their way to Canton, or on their return thence, when laden and about to proceed to Europe for orders. Vessels also proceeding to or coming from the ports to the northward sometimes touch here, for instructions from the owners or consignees, but very few \"break bulk\" at Hong Kong. There is a considerable business done in opium. Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Co. have a large opium receiving-ship, the \"Homanjee Bomanjee,\" moored the whole year round in this harbour: Messrs. Dent and Co. have also a large vessel, the \"John Barry,\" for a similar purpose. These receiving-ships contain the opium brought from India, whence it is transshipped to smaller vessels, and sent up the coast. Messrs. McVicar, Burn, and Co., Fox, Rawson, and Co., and a few smaller houses, also deal to a limited extent in the opium trade, which requires a large ready-money capital. The smaller houses who have no vessels of their own consign opium to agents at the Consular ports, but it is kept on board the receiving-ships moored off or near those ports until the agents sell the opium to some Chinese broker-at Shanghai, for instance, who then receives an order for the delivery of the opium from the receiving-ship at Woosung.\n\nThere are no native junks trading here from the coast of China; there are none belonging to the port; and a few fishing and passage boats, which form a safe asylum for ladrones and vagabonds of every description, constitute the native craft of Hong Kong. Even if natural impediments did not exist to the establishment of a native coasting trade, the Articles 13, 14, and 16, in the Supplemental Treaty, would effectually prevent any Chinese junks resorting to Hong Kong. Not only are the junks prevented proceeding thither from any places but the five Consular ports, but they must also obtain special passports for a voyage to Hong Kong, and when arrived there the British Government are to act the part of spies for the Chinese Government, and to report every vessel, the name of her proprietor, the nature of her cargo, &c., to the authorities at Canton. It is now well understood what was the object of these clauses; no passes will be readily granted; and junks that might proceed to Hong Kong, would certainly be punished by the Chinese authorities, who are exceedingly jealous that anything should occur for the advantage of Hong Kong. These and other circumstances, together with the fear of pirates, the want of a Chinese commercial community, the dearness of provisions, and the absence or high price of any trading commodities, will be sufficient to prevent any coasting trade at Hong Kong.\n\nDr. Gutzlaff, whose knowledge of the Chinese character and proceedings is certainly unsurpassed, says, \"So long as the trade is mainly...\n\nPage 480\n\nPage 481", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-018 - Others - 1846.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 224727, "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": "CO129-018 - Others - 1846", "page_number": 634, "title": "CO129-018 - Others - 1846", "content_text": "Deen the 2006 Remission of Ground Rent for \n\nA \n\nDullas Si \n\nChapel solicits. see also.

One man of reputed wealth, named Chinam, who had been engaged in the opium trade, came to Hong Kong, built a good house and freighted a ship. He soon returned to Canton, and died there of a fever and cold, contracted at Hong Kong. It was understood, however, that had he lived he would have been prohibited returning to Hong Kong, the policy of the mandarins on the adjacent coast being to prevent all respectable Chinese from settling at Hong Kong, and in consequence of the hold which they possess on their families and relatives, this can be done most effectually; at the same time I believe that they encourage and promote the deportation of every thief, pirate, and idle or worthless vagabond from the main land to Hong Kong.\n\n\"It\n\nThe Rev. Dr. Gutzlaff, who has been engaged in making the recent census appended to this Report, referring to the fishermen, who formed the greater part of the population of the island on our arrival, says \"They are a roving set of beings, floating on the wide face of the ocean with their families, and committing depredations whenever it can be done with impunity.\" \"The stone-cutters have been working here for many years before our arrival; the majority of these men are unprincipled. They cannot be considered as domesticated, and are in the habit of going and coming, according to the state of trade.\" \"The most numerous class who have since our arrival fixed themselves on the island, are from Whampoa; many of them are of the worst character, and ready to commit any atrocity.\" The capital of the shopkeepers is very small; the most of them live from hand to mouth, and lead a life of expedients without principle and self control.\" is very natural that depraved, idle, and bad characters from the adjacent main and islands should flock to the colony where some money can be made.\" Dr. Gutzlaff, whose prepossessions are strongly in favour of the Chinese, concludes this portion of the memorandum with which he has favoured me, as follows: \"The moral standard of the people congregated in this place (Hong Kong) is of the lowest description.\" This observation is fully borne out by the numerous murders, piracies, burglaries, and robberies of every description which have taken place during the last three years, and with almost perfect impunity; for the Chinese are formed into secret societies for the mutual protection of villains, and no man dare inform against another. At this moment (July 1844) the European inhabitants are obliged to sleep with loaded pistols under their pillows, frequently to turn out of their beds at midnight to protect their lives and property from gangs of armed robbers, who are ready to sacrifice a few of their number if they can obtain a large plunder.\n\nThis state of things was long ago predicted. In the Canton Register of 23d February 1841 it was stated, Hong Kong will be the resort and rendezvous of all the Chinese smugglers; opium smoking shops and gambling houses will soon spread; to those haunts will flock all the discontented and bad spirits of the empire; the island will be surrounded by Shameens, and become a Gehenna of the waters.\"\n\nThree years have completely fulfilled this prediction, and neither time nor circumstances will now ever alter the character of the place. No Chinese of the humbler class will ever bring their wives and children to the colony. He must be sanguinely visionary who expects that Hong Kong will ever contain a numerous and respectable Chinese population. And, as regards the present inhabitants, (if a migratory race who are constantly changing deserve that epithet), their diminution by one-half would be satisfactory, for then a control by registration might be exercised, and life and property be rendered in some degree secure. The daring character of the population and its worthlessness for all useful civil purposes in the formation of a colony, will be seen in the following incident.\n\nOn 27th September 1843, the Honourable Major Caine, the chief magistrate, issued a proclamation for pulling down some mat sheds which harboured a gang of ruffians who were nightly engaged in plundering the town. In the beginning of October 1843, the Chinese robbers posted a counter proclamation on the gate of No. 1 Market-place, in the chief thoroughfare, declaring that if they left the island themselves they would \"compel others to do so, taking with them their merchandise and property, and warning people to be cautious how they ventured out after dark, lest they meet with some unexpected harm.\" At the same time the Government coal depots were set on fire; the mat barracks of the 41st Regiment, and the Market-place No. 1, were attempted to be burned; and at noon a number of Chinamen, armed with knives, entered the market, threatened all around, wounded a European policeman, and then walked away unmolested. The number of prisoners in the gaol of Hong Kong averaged, during 1843-44, from 60 to 90 a month; nearly every prisoner was Chinese, and the crimes with which they were charged were invariably piracy, murder, burglary, robbery, &c. There has been no diminution of crime; the number of prisoners in the jail have increased, and the nightly robberies are as frequent, if not more so, than they were three years ago. The shopkeepers do not remain more than a few months on the island, when another set takes their place. There is, in fact, a continual shifting of a Bedouin sort of population, whose migratory, predatory, gambling, and dissolute habits utterly unfit them for continuous industry, and render them not only useless, but highly injurious subjects in the attempt to form a new colony.\n\nThere cannot be said to be any other coloured race in the colony; a few Lascars seek employment in ships. The European inhabitants, independent of those in the employ of government, consist of the members of about 12 mercantile houses and their clerks, together with several European shopkeepers. A few persons have arrived here from New South Wales, to try and better their fortune, many of whom would be glad to return thither.\n\n[17]\n\nAppendix.\n\nReport on the\n\nIsland of Hong Kong.\n\nThe principal mercantile firms are those engaged in the opium trade, who have removed thither from Macao, as a safer position for an opium depot, and which they frankly admit is the only trade Hong Kong will ever possess. The opium belonging to the two principal firms is not, however, lodged on shore, it is kept in receiving ships, the \"Hormanjee Bomanjee,\" belonging to Jardine, Matheson & Co., and the \"John Barry,\" belonging to Dent & Co. Even the money in use by those firms is not entrusted on shore, but is kept in the receiving ships. These firms, and the three or four others partially engaged in the opium trade, carry on this business in Hong Kong. The tea trade is carried on distinctly at Canton, by members of the firms resident there. Excepting the six firms engaged in the opium trade, the other six houses are small, and are principally agents for manufacturers, &c. in Great Britain. The expense of establishments, the high rate of interest of money, and the want of trade, will, it is said, probably ere long compel the removal or breaking-up of several of the small houses. There is scarcely a firm in the island but would, I understand, be glad to get back half the money they have expended in the colony, and retire from the place. A sort of hallucination seems to have seized those who built houses here; they thought that Hong Kong would \"rapidly out-rival Singapore, and become the Tyre or Carthage of the Eastern hemisphere.\" Three years' residence, and the experience thence derived, have materially sobered some of their views. Unfortunately the government of the colony fostered the delusion respecting the colony. The leading government officers bought land, built houses or bazaars, which they rented out at high rates, and the public money was lavished in the most extraordinary manner, building up and pulling down temporary structures, making zig-zag bridle paths over hills and mountains, and forming the Queen's-road of three to four miles long, on which about 180,000 dollars have been expended, but which is not passable for half the year. The straggling settlement called Victoria, built along the Queen's-road, was dignified with the name of city, and it was declared on the highest authority that Hong Kong would contain a population \"equal to that of ancient Rome.\"\n\nThe Surveyor-general, in an official report to Sir Henry Pottinger, of 22 pages, dated 6 July 1843, proposed building an entirely new town or city, in the Woonichung Valley (which may be aptly called the valley of death), with a grand canal and many branch canals, &c. &c.; two ranges of terraces of houses, &c. &c.; courts of law and various other offices; acclimating barracks; additions to the present government house, for the secretaries and personal staff of the Governor, isolated from all other buildings; a space of land to be reclaimed from the sea for a public landing place, with an esplanade or public walk; a magnificent promenade of four miles to be made on ground now covered by the sea, which was to be excluded by a sea wall, at a cost of 35 dollars per lineal yard, exclusive of filling in, &c.; a circular road over hills and ravines, round the entire island, &c. &c., adapted for carriages, and for moving troops with speed and facility to any part of the island where they may happen to be required for the protection of the different villages. (These villages, be it remembered, containing nothing but a few hundreds of a thieving, piratical population.) I refer to the Government archives for full details of these and other most ridiculous projects, involving a vast expenditure of public money, which none but the wildest theorists or self-interested persons could have projected or entertained.\n\nOn 17th December 1843, the Surveyor-general laid before Sir H. Pottinger the elevation of a building for a government office, &c. with a front of 360 feet in length, by 50 feet in depth, and which would probably cost 30,000l. sterling. There seemed to be the greatest possible desire to spend a large part of the Chinese indemnity money on this wretched, barren, unhealthy, and useless rock, which the whole wealth, energy, and talent of England would never render habitable, or creditable as a colony to the British name.\n\nIn illustration of the mode in which the public money was proposed to be spent, I give the following, which is a portion of the estimate of public works in Hong Kong, for 1844, and which Sir H. Pottinger transmitted to England for approval:\n\nCompletion of Queen's-road from West Point to the east side of Wong-nichung Valley\n\nDitto, to godowns of Jardine & Co.

The Jurors consequently proceed to the Central Station, for the purpose of proceeding with the inquisition.\n\nCHARLES G. HOLDFORTH,\n\nCoroner.\n\nHONGKONG, TO WIT - Information on behalf of our Lady The Queen, touching the death of Frederick Augustus Hippolito Da Costa, now lying dead at the house known as the Military Hospital, within the township of Victoria, in the colony of Hongkong, on Thursday, the 1st day of March, in the year of our Lord 1843, and in the 13th year of the Reign of her gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, before Charles Gordon Holdforth, Gentleman, one of the Coroners of the said island of Hongkong, on an Inquisition then and there taken on view of the body of the said Frederick Augustus Hippolito Da Costa, then and there lying dead.\n\nWILLIAM MORRISON, Colonial Surgeon, being duly sworn, states, - I examined the body of the late Captain Da Costa, now lying in the dead-house of the Military Hospital. There are three wounds on the scalp, which penetrate to the skull. These wounds are from 2 to 2½ inches in length. One, the most severe, is on the crown of the head, the Lesser one is near to and parallel with this, and the third is on the upper part of the head, where the parietal bones join the frontal bone. The wounds, in my opinion, have been inflicted previously to death, by a cutting instrument. There is a wound on the outer angle of the left eye. This wound has passed over the ridge of the orbit - the bone of which is broken slightly and behind the eyeball. It has been inflicted apparently by the point of a spear, which having cut the bony edge of the orbit, has passed into the cellular tissue behind the eyeball. There is a contused wound on the upper lip, inflicted perhaps by a blow from a stick. There are very severe contusions about the eyes, as if heavy blows had been inflicted by similar contusions, and superficial scratches about the hands, as if inflicted in the act of self-defence. There is a most severe wound on the right hip, a little behind and parallel to the joint. Superficially this wound, which was apparently inflicted by a sharp instrument, is about 3 inches in length, and in depth about 1 inch. I do not think any important arterial branch has been wounded, but there is no doubt it has been the occasion of great haemorrhage. The back and other parts of the body give evidence of slight bruises, shewing a prolonged and severe struggle. I do not think any of the wounds or injuries were sufficient to cause instantly death. I am of opinion that deceased, in a state of insensibility, either from syncope or concussion of the brain, was thrown into the water and drowned. The bones of the nose are fractured, shewing that the blows on the face have been most severe. I have no doubt whatever that the Injuries received were the cause of death, though not the immediate cause; it is probable that deceased was rendered senseless by the blows and wounds received, and then thrown into the water. I am of opinion that a post mortem examination would be unnecessary.\n\nBy Mr Gray - Would an examination of the brain go to shew that deceased was in a state of insensibility from syncope or concussion when thrown into the water? I think not. Whether the action of the water on the vital organs would be the same, the subject being in a state of insensibility or sensibility when thrown into the water? Yes.\n\nBy Mr Bevan - Is it possible that deceased could have walked after the injuries he appears to have received, were inflicted? No.\n\nWILLIAM MORRISON, Colonial Surgeon.\n\nFENWICK MARTIN TWEDDELL being sworn, states. - I am a Surgeon attached to the Ceylon Rifle Regiment, and am at present quartered at Stanley. I made an examination of the body of the deceased Captain Da Costa on Tuesday night, the 27th of February, about seven o'clock. I made the examination at the quarters of deceased at Stanley; the body had just then been taken out of the water. [This witness fully corroborates the statement made by the Colonial Surgeon regarding the nature of the injuries received by deceased, and further adds, that he fully agrees with the causes given by the Colonial Surgeon to the various questions put.] It is customary in the army for the medical man to make a post mortem examination of all Europeans who meet their death by violence or otherwise; but in this instance it is not my intention to do so, being fully satisfied as to the cause of death, as before described by the Colonial Surgeon.\n\nBy Mr Dale - At whose discretion is the post mortem examination made in such cases as you refer to? At the discretion of medical officers in charge.\n\nF. M. TWEDDELL, Asst. Surgeon, H. M. Ceylon Rifles.\n\nFENWICK MARTIN TWEDDELL, being again called and sworn, states - I am a Surgeon attached to the Ceylon Rifle Regiment quartered at Stanley. On Sunday afternoon last, the 25th of February, I left my quarters in company with Lieutenant Dwyer, Captain Da Costa, and Lieutenant Grantham, for the purpose of taking a walk. I accompanied the party some short distance, perhaps a quarter of a mile, and then separated, as did Lieutenant Grantham. I returned to my quarters about 20 minutes past 5; Captain Da Costa and Mr Dwyer proceeded towards the village of Wong-ma-kok, which is situated about a mile and a quarter from our barracks. We dine at 7 o'clock; as Captain Da Costa and Mr Dwyer did not return to dinner, I became anxious, and went out to look after them, with a sergeant, corporal, and three men. We proceeded to the village of Wong-ma-kok. I saw nothing to excite suspicion. I saw an old man there, who was very civil, and gave us oil for our lamps. In answer to some questions I put to this old man relative to the missing gentlemen, he said that he had not seen any Europeans about; I consequently returned homewards. When about 200 yards from the village, close to the pathway, I found a three-pronged spear-head broken short off, which I now produce. I took the spear to our station, and reported to Lieutenant McDonald, being the senior in command. He with a party of soldiers went out in order to make further search; I did not accompany them; They returned about 2 o'clock on the following morning. On Monday morning Mr May with a party of police arrived at Stanley; I accompanied them, in order to shew the road which the missing party had taken. We separated in various directions. I first discovered marks of blood in the immediate vicinity of the village of Wong-ma-kok - [Corrects himself] I first discovered marks of blood about 600 or 700 paces on the far side of the village, which I traced close into the village: from thence to the sea-side, which is perhaps but a mile from said village. The water was deep where we traced the blood, near to which place, say about 900 yards, the body of Captain Da Costa was discovered in the water. I did not see the body taken out of the water. I have very frequently visited this village, but always armed. The villagers have seen that. I was armed. I have always received civility. Captain Da Costa, when he left his quarters, was dressed in a white shooting jacket, a Chinese felt-cap turning up all round, blue striped cloth trousers, and common shoes. He had with him a gold watch and small gold pocket chain slightly exposed to view. I think he had two gold rings on his fingers, one of considerable value. He wore the rings on his left hand. Both hands are bruised; I cannot say that one more than the other. He had no fire-arms on him, but had a Malacca cane loaded with lead, say about 13 oz, drawn to 20%; it was a powerful weapon. I am not aware that he had any money on his person, &c. Lieutenant Dwyer had a gold hunting-watch with a gold guard-chain, and a locket on his neck, both of considerable value. The chain was slightly exposed to view. He had no fire-arms about him. Had a Malacca cane - no money.\n\nBy Mr Mitchell - Was the spot where you picked up the spear-head which you have stated to be about 200 yards from the village, in sight of the village? No, it was shut out by trees in the road and the wood. - Could the cries of men struggling for their lives be heard at the village where you took the old man into custody, from the spot where you picked up the spear-head? I am of opinion they could not be heard; am not precise as to the distance being 200 yards, but think it was sufficiently far to preclude human cries from reaching the village. The spear-head I picked up had the appearance of being recently broken; I cannot say with any degree of certainty that any of its prongs had blood on it at the time. On Monday last Mr May took a man into custody at Wong-ma-kok. He had a wound on, I think, the right side of his head, over the parietal bone, which had apparently been inflicted by a stick - such a stick as Captain Da Costa carried would be a likely instrument to inflict the wound. It appeared to have been inflicted 12 or 15 hours. He had marks of blood on his left leg and foot, also on the band of his trousers, which is produced. On my return home from the village of Wong-ma-kok on Sunday night, I did not see any fire whatever, save that which I myself caused along the pathway from the village. The fire was entirely extinguished before I left. I fired the grass to clear my way more clearly, the night being very dark. That fire which I afterwards saw at a later period on Monday was not a continuation of the ignition caused by me. It appeared to have been kindled in many places at one and the same time.\n\nBy Mr Strachan - When Captain Da Costa left his quarters on Sunday, he was in his usual good spirits. He was not excited by wine. The same remark applies to Mr Dwyer.\n\nF. M. TWEDDELL, Asst. Surgeon, H. I. M. Ceylon Rifles.\n\nCHARLES CALDWALL GRANTHAM, being sworn, - I am a Lieutenant in the Ceylon Rifle Regiment at present quartered at Stanley. On Sunday last, the 25th of February, I, in company with Captain Da Costa, Lieutenant Dwyer, and Dr Twaddell, took a walk at our quarters at Stanley about 2 o'clock. At about 4 o'clock we all four left for the purpose of taking a walk. I accompanied them for about half a mile, and on feeling tired, sat down to rest. They intended to walk as far as the village of Wong-ma-kok. When they left me they branched off the beaten track, and ascended the skirt of a hill, in a direction for the village. I saw them for some distance, and heard them laughing and talking. They must have taken the path along a ravine, which is perhaps about 120 yards from the beaten track. After this I lost sight of them. I never saw Captain Da Costa alive since that time. When I regained my quarters, it was perhaps half past six. Dr Tweddell had just arrived before me. We waited dinner for our comrades, but as they did not make their appearance at 7 or 8 o'clock, we became alarmed. Dr Tweddell then went out to look for them, accompanied by a sergeant and some privates. He returned about 11 o'clock, after a fruitless search. I, in company with Mr McDonald, left our quarters in search. We took a number of soldiers with us. Mr McDonald took a different course to what I did. We met at the village of Wong-ma-kok. Nothing particular occurred to me on my way to said village. At the village we enquired for our missing comrades. We saw there only 2 boys, 2 old women, and 2 old men. The village had the appearance of being deserted. On the boys being questioned, they said that they had not seen any Europeans about the village that day. On making search, I picked up in the village a spear; I cannot say that it had any blood on it. One of my men picked up a broken shaft of a spear, which had marks of blood on it, apparently quite fresh. I searched the houses; in some were heavy sticks, and several spears, and a great quantity of gunpowder of Chinese manufacture; in one of the houses I found an elderly man and woman. We took prisoners this old man and one boy. They did not make any further statement, than that they had not seen any Europeans about the village that day, and that the villagers had gone out to fish. When we took the old man and boy into custody, another old man followed on to Stanley, who was afterwards discovered to have a wound on his head. The next morning (Monday) I saw this wound on the old man's head; it appeared a fresh cut. He said he had fallen down, and cut his head against a stone. He, the former old man, was very dilatory in opening the door of his house. When Captain Da Costa went out on Sunday evening he had with him a Malacca cane loaded with lead; it was a very likely instrument to have inflicted a wound like the old man had on his head. He had no fire-arms about him. He had a gold watch and chain, and two rings on his fingers. I regained my quarters about 2 o'clock on Monday morning, without anything more having occurred. I did not notice any fire on the ground at this time, as it was very dark. At daybreak I again went out, and in the direction along the line, which I thought Captain Da Costa must have taken towards the village. I learnt nothing additional during this trip. I only saw one old woman at the village. I, with my men, scoured the neighbourhood of the village in search of the missing party, but without success. I did not perceive any fire in my beat. I did not at this time observe any marks of the country having been fired. I returned to my quarters about 9 o'clock A.M. Early on Monday morning Mr May with a party of Police arrived; I then with some of the men of the Rifles scoured the country again. When in the neighbourhood of the village, on a path leading from it towards the water side, blood was discovered. The blood was first distinguishable on this track about 150 yards from the village. If a struggle had taken place at this spot it would not have been perceived by the villagers; cries could have been heard. On some parts of the path, I perceived a considerable quantity of blood, apparently as if the person from whom the blood flowed had been resting there. The country round the village at this time (about noon) was in a blaze. I returned home about 5 o'clock P.M., and did not go out again on that day. On the following morning a body was taken out of the water and conveyed to Stanley; this body I identified as that of the late Captain Da Costa. The place where it was found was about 100 yards to the left of the terminus of the path which leads up to the village, as I am informed; it was covered with wounds. The spot where Dr Tweddell picked up the spear-head has been pointed out to me. I should say it is about 120 yards from the village of Wong-ma-kok. Between this spot and the village there is a thick wood, with a pathway leading through it. I should most certainly say that the cries of men struggling for their lives could be heard from this spot by the villagers of Wong-ma-kok. The quantity of gunpowder found in the village was about 100 lbs; quantity of bamboos, which are said to be loaded with powder and used by the Chinese in warfare; also a quantity of saltpetre and pounded charcoal. We had little conversation with the villagers, which was carried on through my servant boy, a native of China named ...\n\nCHARLES C. GRANTHAM, Lieutenant Ceylon Rifles.\n\nTHOMAS FRANCIS FREDERICK AUGUSTUS MACDONNELL, sworn. This witness corroborates the statement made by Mr Grantham, as regards their going out in search of the missing party on Sunday night; and further adds. - When I approached within about 20 yards of the wood in the immediate neighbourhood of the village, I found one spear-head, apparently but recently broken off from the shaft. On this spear-head I discovered blood, apparently fresh. The spot where this was found is that at which Dr Tweddell picked up the three-pronged spear. I shewed him the spot afterwards. This place I should say is about 200 yards from the village of Wong-ma-kok. In my opinion the cries of people struggling for their lives could be heard by the villagers from the spot. I cannot say that beyond the finding of the spear-head, there were any marks of a struggle having taken place at this spot. On proceeding onwards, in the village, there were found one or two more spears. There was also the shaft of a spear found in the village; it had the appearance of being recently broken; there were marks of blood. On a pathway leading from the village to the water side, I discovered tracks of blood. The blood was first distinguishable on this track about 150 yards from the village. If a struggle had taken place at this spot it would not have been perceived by the villagers; cries could have been heard. On Monday morning, in addition to the spear-heads that were found at the spot before described, there was found a small hatchet hid under a tree. I was present at the time. I cannot say it had any blood on it. I saw on Tuesday evening the body that had been taken out of the water, lying at Stanley. It had several severe wounds on it.\n\nMT", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-028 - Bonham - 1849 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 228645, "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": "CO129-028 - Bonham - 1849 [1-3]", "page_number": 373, "title": "CO129-028 - Bonham - 1849 [1-3]", "content_text": "J\n\nit. I identified it as the remains of the late Captain Da Costa. I myself took a walk on Sunday evening. I went in a westerly direction from Stanley towards Wong-ma-kok.** My way lay along the beach. I must have been within 800 or 900 yards from the spot where the spear-heads were found above referred to. I did not then see anything to attract my attention, except that I observed two large boats with boarding-nettings up. They appeared to keep aloof from the other small boats about.

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.

After this work was finished, it was found to be beneficial that I was further informed by Mr. Napier that some of the gentry were very desirous that the road should be continued for about a mile further, and that the inhabitants would subscribe for the purpose generally, and he estimated that he should be able to collect from them on this account £250, whereupon I agreed to contribute on the part of the Government £100 more. It appears, however, Mr Napier was only able to collect from the inhabitants £115, upon which, that Mr Napier might not be a loser by the transaction, I authorised further payment on account of Government of £70, making £245 in all.

Several seamen and soldiers\n\nforeigners.\n\nwere searching; towards evening heard that one of the seamen had seen some blood on the rocks near the water; went to the place and found two or three large pools of blood, and in one place as if a body covered with blood had been dragged over the rock, this place was about 200 yards from fishing station, and in same direction in which the blood was traced in the morning. 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!

We went hack next morning to Wong-ma-kok; found a portion of spear in the village with marks of blood in consequence of a report that a large quantity of blood had been seen near the water, we all went dawn corroborates Mr. May's statement as to find- ing Captain DaCosta's body; jumped into the water, and brought it on shore by a rope round the arts; returned, finding that further search was useless as it was becoming dark. 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. Could not see from the house the price where Captain DaCosta was killed, there were trees intervening. The place where Jasze-\n\ntenant Dwyer was killer is about 150 yards further, from where Captain DaCosta was killed. Could not see the place where Captain DaCosta was killed until within 30 yards of it.\n\nRe-examined. When the boy pointed out the spot where Captain DaCosa was killed he said he was an eye-witness to the killing\n\nW. Morrison, Colonial Surgeon, sworn,Examined the body of Captain DaCoste on or about the 29th, in Conjunction with Dr. Tweddell, at the dead house of the Military hospital, Vistoria, dll not make an exact post- mortem. 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.

The defendant, under the provisions of Lord Campbell's Act, having pleaded “Not guilty—that all he had stated was true, and published for the benefit of the public,\" the case went to trial, and ended in an acquittal; the present Chief Justice telling the jury that, \"it was for them to judge if there was a necessity, first, to publish the facts; secondly, was it necessary to publish the commentary\" directions authorized only by Lord Campbell's Act. \n\n8. It is presumed that the Plaintiff is aware of this case, and having retained the only efficient Barrister and the best Attorney in the Colony, he must rely on the above quoted 4th Section of the Ordinance of 6th May, 1846, Your Memorialist is not a lawyer, and, though on the present occasion constrained to conduct his own case, does not pretend to argue technical points of law; but for years past he has taken some interest in discussions in Parliament and elsewhere, on constitutional questions, affecting the rights and liberties of British subjects. He is thus enabled to turn to a debate on the Cape Constitution, (July 15, 1851,) in the course of which Lord Lyndhurst, having been appealed to as a great lawyer, is reported to have thus opened his speech : \n\n*** \n\nWhen this House takes an opinion on a question of law, that opinion should be pronounced with as much fairness by the legal members of your Lordship's House as if they were stating it in a court of justice;\" and referring to Lord Mansfield's judgment in the Grenada case, the same high authority said,— \n\nNow, when the Crown granted a franchise or liberties of any description, whether to the inhabitants of a district or a colony, the grant was irrevocable; it could only be put an end to by surrender, by Act of Parliament, or by forfeiture established by proceedings in a court of justice; and there was neither of these here.\" (Spectator, July 19, 1851.) \n\nAccording to another report, His Lordship gave as the essence of Lord Mansfield's \"most elaborate judgment, pronounced in the most distinct terms-terms that could not be misunderstood,”- \n\n\"That if the element of the franchise were once given-if the power to legislate were once considered-- it any popular right were once bestowed, anything that was to be a check upon the Government— then, in that case, the Crown had not the power to revoke what it had once granted,\" (Morning Herald, July 16, 1851.) Your Grace took part in that debate, and would appear, both by your speech and vote, as well as by your subsequent policy towards the Cape, to concur in these views, which seem also to be in accordance with those laid down by Lord John Russell in his speech on Colonial Policy, published, by his authority, in 1850. \n\n9. Presuming therefore that the doctrine applied to Grenada and the Cape is considered sound, I submit that it receives additional force in the case to which your Grace's attention is now more immediately requested; for, it is humbly submitted, that Lord Campbell's Act was not only one of those liberties and privileges which, once conferred, could not be arbitrarily taken away, but it had actually been enforced in the Courts of Hongkong, by virtue of two Ordinances confirmed by Her Majesty in Council, by whose authority the Council that passed them is constituted. \n\n10. Should it nevertheless be held that the 3d Section of the Ordinance 5th May, 1846, took away from the Colony the privileges and protection of the laws of England passed subsequently to 5th April, 1843, then it follows that another, locally still more important, Act of Parliament, which received the Royal assent on August 22, 1843, two days before Lord Campbell's Act, is also abrogated. It is entitled, “An Act for the better Government of Her Majesty's Subjects resorting to China,\" and is set forth in the preamble to the first Ordinance, (called Consular,) as giving virtue to Her Majesty's Letters Patent, authorizing the Governor of Hongkong as Superintendent of Trade to legislate for Her Majesty's subjects in China; the said first Ordinance (24th January 1844) rendering them \"subject in all matters to the Law of England, (as much as in the Colony of Hongkong, § 1,) and to extend the jurisdiction of the Courts of justice at Hongkong over the same.” \n\n11. Surely it could never have been intended, by means of a single clause in an otherwise unimportant Ordinance, to sweep away from the Colony three years of the Laws of England, Your Memorialist has within these few days read a report of an appeal to the House of Lords (May 6, 1853,) as to the right of way through Campbell of Blythswood's policies. It was pleaded, in bar of an immemorial right of the inhabitants of Renfrew,— \n\nThat in 1787 and 1835 Acts of Parliament had been passed for improving the navigation of the river Cart, and under these Acts a towing path had been formed along the banks of the Cart, and the river trustees were directed to erect and had erected a rubble wall and iron railing along the towing path, enclosing the appellant's lands, and these Acts declared that no one was to be allowed to go into the said lands except with the consent of the heir in possession of Blythswood for the time being.\" \n\nIn delivering judgment against the appellant, Lord Chancellor Cranworth said,- \n\n\"The main point, therefore, to be first considered is, whether the statute puts an end to the right. Now, it would be much to be regretted if the House were to be bound to construe that statute so strictly as was contended for by the appellant. Indeed, it would be a monstrous thing to hold that a public right which had existed up to that time from time immemorial could by a side-wind-by such a clause as that statute contained, be thus swept away and extinguished. His Lordship then quoted the statute, and concluded with saying, that it was not to be construed strictly, but was merely intended to make an arrangement between the trustees of the river navigation and the appellant; but as to the rights of the public to the ways in question, it just left these rights where it found them-it neither gave nor took away.\" (Scotsman, May 11, 1853.) Upon the same principle your Memorialist would respectfully submit to your Grace, that \"it would be a monstrous thing to hold that a public right which had existed up to that time (from the first day of the Colony,) could by a side-wind-by such a clause as that Statute (Ordinance) contained, be thus swept away and extinguished;\" and that too under show of amending the laws and government of British subjects, for \"amend\" and not \"repeal\" is the term used in the title and preamble, -the 29th Section of Ordinance of 5th May, 1846, \"constituting a local Court of Error and Appeal,\" being the only one expressly repealed. \n\n12. Under the circumstances now set forth, your Memorialist approaches your Grace, beseeching that, if it should appear to the legal advisers of the Crown that Hongkong has thus been deprived of important rights and privileges, steps may be adopted for restoring them; and whether or not the present operation of Lord Campbell's Act within the Colony be considered doubtful, your Memorialist humbly suggests, that, in order to put it beyond the power of any one to vex the lieges, under an old law, which the Lord Chief Justice of England said recently, (Sir Charles Napier v. Murray,) was often vexatiously and tyrannically enforced, a declaratory Order or Ordinance should be passed, authoritatively setting the question at rest, \n\n13. Your Memorialist, desirous to have a decision regarding Lord Campbell's Act by the Hongkong Court, made a proposal to that effect; but the Plaintiff, under the advice of his lawyers, being confident that it is not in operation here, objects to have the question mooted to the Judge before the day of trial, which, from the absence of material witnesses on the way to England and elsewhere, will probably be postponed for several months. \n\n14. Your Memorialist begs to state, that in June 1850, the Orion Steamer was wrecked off the coast of Scotland, under circumstances very similar to those attending the wreck of the Larriston, the number of lives lost in the latter being Thirty-one and in the former Forty-seven, through the neglect of the officers on duty and the insufficiency of the boats. The Captain of the Orion and the second Mate, who was officer of the watch, were indicted criminally, and brought to trial before the high Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh on the 29th and 30th of August following, and being convicted, the Captain was sentenced to Two Years' Imprisonment and the second Mate to Seven Years' Transportation. In summing up, the presiding Judge, the Lord Justice Clerk, remarked, that \"he did not doubt that the greatest public benefit would accrue from the disclosure of the facts,\" and in pronouncing sentence on the Mate, his Lordship further remarked, that \"the sentence is no doubt one that must produce a great impression.\" Entirely concurring in these sentiments, your Memorialist conceives that he was only consulting the public benefit in alluding to them; and that no one should have the power, by a doubtful or defective state of the law, to bring actions against an editor for so discharging his duty. \n\nEntreating your Grace to give such effect to the premises as may seem meet, \n\nYour Memorialist will ever pray, \n\nHONGKONG, July 21, 1853. \n\nAnd there \n\n78", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-043 - Sir Bonham - 1853 [7-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 233573, "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": "CO129-043 - Sir Bonham - 1853 [7-12]", "page_number": 82, "title": "CO129-043 - Sir Bonham - 1853 [7-12]", "content_text": "# Memorial to the Governor of Hong Kong\n\n8.

The defendant, under the provisions of Lord Campbell's Act, having pleaded \"Not guilty that all he had stated was true, and published for the benefit of the public,\" the case went to trial, and ended in an acquittal; the present Chief Justice telling the jury that, \"it was for them to judge if there was a necessity, first, to publish the facts; secondly, was it necessary to publish the commentary\" directions authorized only by Lord Campbell's Act. \n\n8. It is presumed that the Plaintiff is aware of this case, and having retained the only efficient Barrister and the best Attorney in the Colony, he must rely on the above quoted 4th Section of the Ordinance of 6th May, 1846. Your Memorialist is not a lawyer, and, though on the present occasion constrained to conduct his own case, does not pretend to argue technical points of law; but for years past he has taken some interest in discussions in Parliament and elsewhere, on constitutional questions, affecting the rights and liberties of British subjects. He is thus enabled to turn to a debate on the Cape Constitution, (July 15, 1851,) in the course of which Lord Lyndhurst, having been appealed to as a great lawyer, is reported to have thus opened his speech :— \n\nWhen this House takes an opinion on a question of law, that opinion should be pronounced with as much fairness by the legal members of your Lordship's House as if they were stating it in a court of justice;\" and referring to Lord Mansfield's judgment in the Grenada case, the same high authority said,—— \n\n“Now, when the Crown granted a franchise or liberties of any description, whether to the inhabitants of a district or a colony, the grant was irrevocable; it could only be put an end to by surrender, by Act of Parliament, or by forfeiture established by proceedings in a court of justice; and there was neither of these here.\" (Spectator, July 19, 1851.) \n\nAccording to another report, His Lordship gave as the essence of Lord Mansfield's \"most elaborate judgment, pronounced in the most distinct terms-terms that could not be misunderstood,\"- \n\n\"That if the element of the franchise were once given-if the power to legislate were once considered- if any popular right were once bestowed, anything that was to be a check upon the Government—then, in that case, the Crown had not the power to revoke what it had once granted.\" (Morning Herald, July 16, 1851.) Your Grace took part in that debate, and would appear, both by your speech and vote, as well as by your subsequent policy towards the Cape, to concur in these views, which seem also to be in accordance with those laid down by Lord John Russell in his speech on Colonial Policy, published, by his authority, in 1850, \n\n9. Presuming therefore that the doctrine applied to Grenada and the Cape is considered sound, your Memorialist submits that it receives additional force in the case to which your Grace's attention is now more immediately requested; for, it is humbly submitted, that Lord Campbell's Act was not only one of those liberties and privileges which, once conferred, could not be arbitrarily taken away, but it had actually been enforced in the Courts of Hongkong, by virtue of two Ordinances confirmed by Her Majesty in Council, by whose authority the Council that passed them is constituted. \n\n10. Should it nevertheless be held that the 3d Section of the Ordinance 5th May, 1846, took away from the Colony the privileges and protection of the laws of England passed subsequently to 5th April, 1843, then it follows that another, locally still more important, Act of Parliament, which received the Royal assent on August 22, 1843, two days before Lord Campbell's Act, is also abrogated. It is entitled, \"An Act for the better Government of Her Majesty's Subjects resorting to China,\" and is set forth in the preamble to the first Ordinance, (called Consular,) as giving virtue to Her Majesty's Letters Patent, authorizing the Governor of Hongkong as Superintendent of Trade to legislate for Her Majesty's subjects in China; \n\nthe said first Ordinance (24th January 1844) rendering them \" subject in all matters to the Law of England, (as much as in the Colony of Hongkong, § 1,) and extending the jurisdiction of the Courts of justice at Hongkong over the same.” \n\n11. Surely it could never have been intended, by means of a single clause in an otherwise unimportant Ordinance, to sweep away from the Colony three years of the Laws of England. Your Memorialist has within these few days read a report of an appeal to the House of Lords (May 6, 1853,) as to the right of way through Campbell of Blythswood's policies. It was pleaded, in bar of an immemorial right of the inhabitants of Renfrew,- \n\n\"That in 1787 and 1835 Acts of Parliament had been passed for improving the navigation of the river Cart, and under these Acts a towing path had been formed along the banks of the Cart, and the river trustees were directed to erect and had erected a rubble wall and iron railing along the towing path, enclosing the appellant's lands, and these Acts declared that no one was to be allowed to go into the said lands except with the consent of the heir in possession of Blythewood for the time being.” \n\nIn delivering judgment against the appellant, Lord Chancellor Cranworth said,-— \n\n\"The main point, therefore, to be first considered is, whether the statute puts an end to the right. Now, it would be much to be regretted if the House were to be bound to construe that statute so strictly as was contended for by the appellant. Indeed, it would be a monstrous thing to hold that a public right which had existed up to that time from time immemorial could by a side-wind-by such a clause as that statute contained, be thus swept away and extinguished. His Lordship then quoted the statute, and concluded with saying, that it was not to be construed strictly, but was merely intended to make an arrangement between the trustees of the river navigation and the appellant; but as to the rights of the public to the ways in question, it just left these rights where it found them-it neither gave nor took away.\" (Scotsman, May 11, 1853.) Upon the same principle your Memorialist would respectfully submit to your Grace, that \"it would be a monstrous thing to hold that a public right which had existed up to that time (from the first day of the Colony,) could by a side-wind-by such a clause as that Statute (Ordinance) contained, be thus swept away and extinguished;\" and that too under show of amending the laws and government of British subjects,--for \"amend\" and not \"repeal\" is the term used in the title and preamble, \n\n-the 29th Section of Ordinance of 5th May, 1846, \"constituting a local Court of Error and Appeal,\" being the only one expressly repealed. \n\n12. Under the circumstances now set forth, your Memorialist approaches your Grace, beseeching that, it should appear to the legal advisers of the Crown that Hongkong has thus been deprived of important rights and privileges, steps may be adopted for restoring them; and whether or not the present operation of Lord Campbell's Act within the Colony be considered doubtful, your Memorialist humbly suggests, that, in order to put it beyond the power of any one to vex the lieges, under an old law, which the Lord Chief Justice of England said recently, (Sir Charles Napier v. Murray,) was often vexatiously and tyrannically enforced, a declaratory Order or Ordinance should be passed, authoritatively setting the question at rest. \n\n13. Your Memorialist, desirous to have a decision regarding Lord Campbell's Act by the Hongkong Court, made a proposal to that effect; but the Plaintiff, under the advice of his lawyers, being confident that it is not in operation here, objects to have the question mooted to the Judge before the day of trial, which, from the absence of material witnesses on the way to England and elsewhere, will probably be postponed for several months. \n\n14. Your Memorialist begs to state, that in June 1850, the Orion Steamer was wrecked off the coast of Scotland, under circumstances very similar to those attending the wreck of the Larriston, the number of lives lost in the latter being Thirty-one and in the former Forty-seven, through the neglect of the officers on duty and the insufficiency of the boats. The Captain of the Orion and the second Mate, who was officer of the watch, were indicted criminally, and brought to trial before the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh, on the 29th and 30th of August following, and being convicted, the Captain was sentenced to Two Years' Imprisonment and the second Mate to Seven Years' Transportation. In summing up, the presiding Judge, the Lord Justice Clerk, remarked, that \"he did not doubt that the greatest public benefit would accrue from the disclosure of the facts,\" and in pronouncing sentence on the Mate, his Lordship further remarked, that \"the sentence is no doubt one that must produce a great impression.\" Entirely concurring in these sentiments, your Memorialist conceives that he was only consulting the public benefit in alluding to them; and [submits] that no one should have the power, by a doubtful or defective state of the law, to bring actions against an editor for so discharging his duty. \n\nEntreating your Grace to give such effect to the premises as may seem meet, \n\nYour Memorialist will ever pray, \n\nHONGKONG, July 21, 1853. \n\n265", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-044 - Public Offices - 1853.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 234732, "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": "CO129-046 - Lieut.

In the Construction of this Act, the Term \"Chinese Passenger Ship\" shall include every Ship carrying from any Port in Hong Kong, and every British Ship carrying from any Port in China or within One hundred Miles of the Coast thereof, more than Twenty Passengers, being Natives of Asia; the Word \"Colony\" shall include all Her Majesty's Possessions abroad not being under the Government of the East India Company; the Word \"Governor\" shall signify the Person for the Time being lawfully administering the Government of such Colony; the Term \"Legislature of Hong Kong\" shall signify the Governor and Legislative Council or other Legislative Authority of the same for the Time being; the Word \"Ship\" shall include all Sea-going Vessels, the Terms \"Commander\" and \"Master\" of any Ship shall include any Person for the Time being in command or charge of the same; the Term \"Emigration Officer\" shall include every Person lawfully acting as Emigration Officer, Immigration Agent or Protector of Emigrants, and every Person authorized by the Governor of any British Colony to carry out the Provisions of this Act; and the Term \"British Consul\" shall include every Person lawfully exercising Consular Authority on behalf of Her Majesty in any Foreign Port.\n\nII. It shall be lawful for the Legislature of Hong Kong, by any Ordinance to be by them enacted for that Purpose, to make Regulations respecting Chinese Passenger Ships, and, in the Case of British Ships, respecting the Treatment of the Passengers therein while at Sea; and until such Enactment, the Regulations contained in Schedule (4.) to this Act annexed shall be in force. Provided always, that no such Ordinance shall come into operation until Her Majesty's Confirmation of the same shall have been proclaimed in Hong Kong by the Governor thereof.\n\nIII. It shall be lawful for the Governor of Hong Kong to declare, by Proclamation, for the Purposes of this Act and of the said Regulations, what shall be deemed to be the Duration of the Voyage of any Chinese Passenger Ship, and by such Proclamation to alter the Scales of Dietary, Medicines, and Medical Comforts contained in the aforesaid Schedule (4).\n\nNo Chinese Passenger Ship to clear out on Voyage of more than Seven Days without Emigration Officer's Certificate and Copy of Regulations, nor until Bond be given to Crown.\n\nIV. No Chinese Passenger Ship shall clear out or proceed to Sea on any Voyage of more than Seven Days' Duration until the Master thereof shall have received from an Emigration Officer a Copy of the aforesaid Regulations, and a Certificate in the Form contained in Schedule B. to this Act annexed, or in such other Form as may be prescribed by the said Legislature, which Copy and Certificate, with any Documents to be attached thereto (hereinafter designated as Emigration Papers,) shall be signed by the said Emigration Officer, nor until the Master shall, with Two sufficient Sureties, to be approved by the said Emigration Officer, have entered into a joint and several Bond in the Sum of One thousand Pounds to Her Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, in the Form contained in Schedule C. to this Act annexed, or in such other Form as shall be prescribed by the said Legislature.\n\nV. The said penal Sum of One thousand Pounds shall be due and recoverable notwithstanding any Penalty or Forfeiture imposed by this Act or by the aforesaid Regulations, and whether such Penalties or Forfeitures shall have been sued for and recovered or not.\n\nVI. It shall be lawful for the Commander of any of Her Majesty's Ships of War, or for any Emigration Officer, Custom House Officer, or British Consul, to enter and search any Chinese Passenger Ship (being a British Vessel or within British Jurisdiction) so long as such Ship shall have any Passengers on board, and for Forty-eight Hours afterwards, and in case such Ship shall be engaged on a Voyage of more than Seven Days' Duration, to require the Production of the Emigration Papers of such Ship, and to examine all Persons on board of the same, in order to ascertain whether the Provisions of this Act and of the Regulations aforesaid have been complied with; and any Person who refuses to allow, attempts to avoid, or obstructs any such Entry, Search, or Examination, or who knowingly misleads or deceives any Person lawfully making any such Search or Examination, or who, being the Master of the Ship or having the Emigration Papers in his Custody, fails to produce the same when required as aforesaid, shall be deemed guilty of a Misdemeanor.\n\nVII. In case of any Neglect or Refusal to comply with any of the Provisions of this Act or any of the Regulations aforesaid, or to perform any Stipulation in any of the Contracts made with the Passengers, the Master of the Ship, and any other Person who may have been guilty of or have aided or abetted such Neglect or Refusal, shall each be deemed for each Offence guilty of a Misdemeanor.\n\nVIII. If any Chinese Passenger Ship clears out or proceeds to Sea on any Voyage exceeding Seven Days in Duration without such Emigration Papers as aforesaid, or if the Emigration Papers of any Chinese Passenger Ship are forged or fraudulently altered, such Ship shall, if she is a British Ship, or if, not being a British Ship, the Offence is committed and the Ship is seized in Her Majesty's Dominions or in the Territories of the East India Company, be forfeited to Her Majesty.\n\nIX. Every Person who commits or aids or abets in committing any Act or Default by which any Chinese Passenger Ship may become liable to Forfeiture shall be liable to a Penalty not exceeding One hundred Pounds for each Offence.\n\nX. It shall be lawful for any Commissioned Officer on Full Pay in the Military or Naval Service of Her Majesty, or any British Officer of Customs, or any British Consul, to seize and detain any Ship which has become subject to Forfeiture as aforesaid, and bring her for Adjudication before the High Court of Admiralty in England or Ireland, or any Court having Admiralty Jurisdiction in Her Majesty's Dominions or in the Territories of the East India Company, and such Court may thereupon make such Order in the Case as it thinks fit, and may award such Portion of the Proceeds of the Sale of any forfeited Ship as it thinks right to the Officer bringing in the same for Adjudication, or to any Persons damaged by the Act or Default which has rendered the Ship liable to Forfeiture.\n\nXI. No such Officer as aforesaid shall be responsible, either civilly or criminally, to any Person whomsoever in respect of the Seizure or Detention of any Ship that has been seized or detained by him in pursuance of the Provisions herein contained, notwithstanding that such Ship is not brought in for Adjudication, or, if so brought in, is declared not to be liable to Forfeiture, if it is shown to the Satisfaction of the Judge or Court before whom any Trial relating to such Ship or such Seizure or Detention is held that there are reasonable Grounds for such Seizure or Detention; but if no such Grounds are shown, such Judge or Court may award Payment of Costs and Damages to any Party aggrieved, and make such other Order in the Premises as he or it thinks just.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-054 - Sir Bowring - 1856 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 239448, "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": "CO129-058 - Sir Bowring - 1856 [8-10]", "page_number": 86, "title": "CO129-058 - Sir Bowring - 1856 [8-10]", "content_text": "M.

No. 12 of 1856.\n\nBY His Excellency Sir JOHN BOWRING, Knight, LL.D., Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same, Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary and Chief Superintendent of the Trade of British Subjects in China, with the Advice of the Legislative Council of Hongkong.\n\nAn Ordinance to regulate Chinese Burials, and to prevent certain Nuisances, within the Colony of Hongkong.\n\n[12th June, 1856.]\n\nWhereas the increase of Population and Buildings in the City of Victoria has made it necessary to provide other arrangements for the Interment of the Dead, and whereas there exist certain Nuisances which the Laws hitherto in force have failed effectually to prevent: Be it therefore enacted and ordained by His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, in manner following, that is to say:\n\nPreamble.\n\nInterpretation of terms.\n\nI. For the construction as well of this Ordinance as of Ordinance No. 14 of 1845, the Ordinance No. 2 of 1854, the Ordinance No. 8 of 1856, and the Ordinance No. 11 of 1856, the following Rules of Construction shall be observed in addition to whatsoever other Rules are by the said Ordinances respectively provided, that is to say:-\n\nThe expressions \"Public Officer\" or \"Public Department\" shall extend to and include His Excellency the Governor and every Officer or Department invested with or performing duties of a public nature, whether under immediate control of His Excellency or not.\n\nThe expression \"Lawful Authority\" shall extend to and denote any Permission which may be lawfully given by a Public Officer or Department or by a Private Person.\n\nWhere no specific Description is given of the Ownership of any Property, the word \"Property\" shall be taken to apply to all such Property of the kinds specified, whether owned by the Crown, by a Public Department, or by a Private Person.\n\nThe Governor in Executive Council to appoint Sites for Chinese Cemeteries, &c.\n\nII. It shall be lawful for His Excellency in Executive Council from time to time to select and appoint, and by advertisement in the Hongkong Government Gazette to notify, sufficient and proper Places to be used as Cemeteries or Places of Burial for the Chinese; and from time to time to alter, vary, and repeal the said Notifications by others, to be advertised in the like manner; and in such Cemeteries or Places it shall be lawful for the Chinese, in conformity with the Provisions of the Notifications actually in force, to bury their Dead, yet so as that any person who shall use for that purpose a Grave of less than Five Feet in depth from the ordinary surface of the ground to the uppermost side of the Corpse or Coffin therein deposited, shall for every such Offence forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding Fifty Dollars, nor less than Five Dollars.\n\nPower to close Chinese Cemeteries.\n\nIII. His said Excellency in Executive Council is authorized from time to time to notify, by advertisement in the Hongkong Government Gazette, that any Chinese Cemetery or Burial Ground shall, from a time in such Notification to be specified, be closed, and the same shall be closed accordingly; and whosoever after the expiration of the said specified time shall bury any Corpse in the said Cemetery or Burial Ground shall, for every such offence, forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding One Hundred Dollars nor less than Five.\n\nPenalties on Burials elsewhere than in Cemeteries, &c.\n\nIV. Whosoever shall bury any Corpse or Coffin in any Ground not being a Cemetery or Burial Ground authorised under this or any other Ordinance, shall (except in cases provided for by Section Three of this Ordinance) for every such his offence forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding One Hundred Dollars nor less than Five.\n\nFurther penalties on Burials being Nuisances, &c.\n\nV. The penalties in Sections Three and Four specified shall be deemed to be cumulative and not substituted penalties, in any case where the commission of any of the Offences to which the same are applicable shall occasion a Nuisance within the meaning of Ordinance No. 8 of 1856, Section Fourteen.\n\nNuisances punishable, at the discretion of the Court.\n\nVI. The Offences next hereinafter specified shall be deemed to be Nuisances within the meaning of all Laws, at any time in force within this Colony, for the better repression of Nuisances, save that the Court or Justices before whom any person shall be found guilty of any such offence, in lieu of all other punishment for the same, shall order him for every such offence to pay a penalty not exceeding One Hundred Dollars nor less than One Dollar, that is to say;\n\n1. The Felling, Cutting, Destroying or Injuring of any standing or growing Tree, Shrub, or Underwood, any Grass-sod or Turf, or any Fence or Portion thereof (except in cases where any such offence shall be proved to have been committed with a felonious intention).\n\n2. The doing any act whereby Injury or Obstruction, whether directly or consequentially, may accrue to a Public Road, Path, or Walk, or to the Shore of the Sea, or to Navigation, Mooring, or Anchorage, Transit or Traffic, or whereby any other Nuisance within the meaning of Ordinance No. 8 of 1856, Sections Fourteen, Fifteen, and Sixteen, whether directly or consequentially, may happen.\n\n3. The trespassing, by Man or Beast, upon or in any Messuage, Tenement, Cemetery, or Land being vested in or under the control or management of any Public Officer, or Department whatsoever.\n\nAnd 4. The obeying the calls of nature on any Way or in any public exposed or other improper Place, to the annoyance of others.\n\nWhipping may be substituted in the case of offences against Section VI Divisions I and 4.\n\nVII. It shall be lawful for the Court or Justices before whom any person shall be found guilty of any offence against Division One or Division Four of Section Six of this Ordinance, to order him, in lieu of all other punishment, to be once or twice publicly whipped, yet so as that no Offender shall receive in all for any one such offence more than Fifty Blows nor less than Five.\n\nExtension of penalties to Accessaries.\n\nVIII. Upon proof made to the satisfaction of the Court or Justices that a person accused of any Nuisance or Offence under this Ordinance, or any of the said enumerated Ordinances, is in fact guilty of having procured, permitted, connived at, or continued any such Nuisance or Offence, or of having neglected or refused to perform any Duty cast upon him by Law for the prevention or repression of the same, the said Court or Justices shall find the said person guilty of the said Nuisance or Offence, and shall award against him the penalty or other punishment to which persons guilty of the said Nuisance or Offence are or shall be liable.\n\nIncorporation with former Ordinances.\n\nIX. This Ordinance shall be read together with the Ordinances enumerated in Section One, and shall be incorporated therewith.\n\nExcept in case of illegal works, &c., any Complainant may be heard.\n\nX.

I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination. And Sir James Perry said, the other day, of Sir Joha Franklin, that, \"If he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger, yet of that tenderness, that he would not brush away a Mon- quito,\" Even for tusir highway men the same virtues is elclmued, and Robin Hued tomes described to us an altissimus prædimum, the gentlest thief. But they know where their war.dogs le Crowell, Blake, Maribo- rough, Chatham, Nelson, and Wellington are not to be trified with, and the brutal strength which lies of the hottem of society, the animal ferocity of the quays and Cockpits, the builies of the costernongers of Shoreditch, Seven Dials, and Spitalfields, they know how to wake up. They have a vigorous health, and inst well into middle and old age.

Good feeding is a chief point of na- tional price among the raiger, sad, in their carlemmer, they represent the Preschman as a poor starved body, It in curiose that 'Tacitus found the English beer already i use ang the Germans: they make from barley or whest s drink corrupted into some resemblance to wine.\" Lord Chief Justice Purlesque, in Henry VI.'s time, sayu * The Inhabitants of England drink no water, valens at certain fizuen, on a religions score, and by way of pen. acer.\" The extremes of poverty and ascetic penance, it\n\nROBERT FRANCu, Mudras, ot Joas ROBIE.

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. In addition—the letter is anonymous.\n\nJ. BOWRING,\n\nTo the Honorable COLONEL DUNLOP,\n\nThe Colonel issues the following Memo., attaching to it the Governor's letter, which requires that all the stolen property be forthwith returned to the Government Office:\n\n[No. 17—APRIL 29, 1857.]\n\nMemo. The undersigned offers notice that parties who have any articles which were taken at Cowloon will immediately return them to this Office. Officers are requested to state their names, or that they have returned all to this Office.\n\nBy order,\n\n(Signed) JOHN KING, Captain,\n\nTown Major.\n\nTOWN MAJOR'S OFFICE, 25th April, 1857.\n\nThe officers naturally felt annoyed at having such accusations made against them, and their several replies are amusing enough. 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. I have already returned.\"\n\n9. \"I have stolen nothing.\"\n\n10. \"Has stolen nothing.\"\n\n11. \"I took nothing away from Cowloon.\"\n\n12. \"I have not stolen anything.\"\n\nThis was not all; one of them afterwards wrote a letter demanding an apology under the threat of \"court of inquiry.\" We have not this intermediate correspondence, but the fellow who signs himself \"X X X\" in the China Mail, has said, so it has come to pass, the Registration Ordinance is progressing, and we have an altered and amended—if not improved draft copy of the Ordinance in the last Government Gazette.\n\nThe Band of the 59th Regiment will be performing to-morrow on the Parade Ground, weather permitting, at 4½ p.m., the following pieces:—\n\nMarch—\"Souvenir des Alpes\"—Leitzer.\n\nPolka—\"Jalve.\"\n\nSelection 4—\"Quadrilles Mouton.\"\n\nWaltz—\"Auf dem Lufte, Gung'—Strauss.\n\nGallop—\"Corsa\"—Kulorer.\n\nWe beg to return our sincere thanks to His Excellency Sir John Bowring Knt. 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. F——\n\nMy wife (who can fight anticly for my peace of mind) derives her views of Hongkong politics from the Friend of China. Upon the ideas of the mild expositor of Sir John's responsibilities, she grafts a few of her own, and the following shortly shadows forth the result.\n\nWas Colony ever at such a pass\n\nWhat with poison, Sed riots, de dear that gas.\n\nA pretty large role of ill it will sum to\n\nThe taxes increasing, such a state the police in,\n\nAnd coolies refusing to carry our chairs;\n\nIf you'd know why this was, it is simply because\n\nThat horrid Sir John's authe Board of affairs!\n\nHe has truly thrown things in a terrible mix,\n\nAnd no wonder it is that with ge we are tow'ring;\n\nLa jury pays a,\" when the public\n\nWhy, who is the party to blame but Sir John?\n\nThe responsible man.—if your servants are capable,\n\nIf your carriage raptures, or child falls down stairs,\n\nFor sourbour, bad potatoes, or premature babi\n\nIs that dreadful old man at the head of affairs!\n\nJust look how he went and black-holed those poor bakers,\n\n(As it must be admitted they'd given you cause,)\n\nAl then four out Murrow & Co. to be breakers\n\nBy housing some coolies) of liberty's laws.\n\nFor struggling young orlenists ain't le a rush nares.*\n\nNor Christian nor Pagan is safe from his energet\n\nHet in happy to heap our dear chaplain's dham Gua\n\nThis cruel old man at the head of affairs!\n\nIf the ad come too late, or fire catches a chimney,\n\nIf our sleep is histure'd by a noisy cock,\n\nEve it a man-of-war strikes on a rock.\n\nf the sun is too hot, or the street lamps burn dim—nay,\n\nthe bugs at the school of St Andrew are lousy,\n\nOr the 59th Band plays unpopular airs;\n\nIf offcids are idle, or paracas are affils!\n\nIt's all the old as it the head\n\nBy his hobbies not only the clothes get se mangled,\n\n\"That buttons and darts take the wake of one's timiz,\n\nBut we're liable, too, in our beds t\n\nto be strangled,\n\nAnd he won't hang the man who emitted the crime.\n\nJould know how his sid yazilation\n\nIf he the load of ane's family rates,\n\nIncremes\n\nHe would practise (what I can't, fin enre) resignation,\n\nAnd put that dear end at the head of affairs.\n\n(Morita loquitur)\n\nAnd now. you've done, pray let me have a word to\n\n(That politics sextainly not a good hand)\n\nI would have you remember it's very absurd, to\n\nTalk about things that you don't understand.\n\nIf he'd three heads, His Cerberas, still be'd have reason\n\nTo say he's tough work to grizzle his air;\n\nAnd I really believe, in' you'll think it high tresom,\n\nWo might have a wote inan at the head of affairs.\n\n*Tron, WELDA.\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\nHONGKONG, TUESDAY, 26 APRIL 1857.\n\nRooms, where such documents as the government desires to make known are supplied for the use of all the papers without respect to party or color. It would of course be expecting too much from a man who was only a radical member of parliament any such liberality—that style of individual does not act in such a way. All his liberality is expended in clap-trap, and when the time of action comes, he is found to be nothing but a windbag—As for the Mail we could expect no courtesy from it in such a case.\n\nThe Coromandel returned to harbour on the morning of the 26th, from the survey of the rock on which the unfortunate Raleigh struck. The survey was made by Captain Bates, who was accompanied by Mr. Williams, Master of the state that so well known Raleigh, and when then for him.\n\nAs we are a day behind the for, thanks to our kind friends, the above firm, we think it unnecessary to republish the documents, but we call attention to the reasonable inference drawn by the\n\nThere is one drop of comfort in this bucket of filth—the Ordinance never will be carried out, not even when the gloss of novelty is upon it. There is no staff of officials to carry it out.\n\nWe may therefore rest satisfied that the minds of the Chinese will not be undermined by this Ordinance, and the only bad effect of it will be to disgrace a British Statute book. Spies there are, and will be—like other vermin they are useful and can be dispensed with; but the more we can do without them the better, and we hope never to see the day when the inhabitants of a whole colony shall turn spies, and no one however respectable be safe.\n\nThe Sampson has had an engagement with pirates near Mi-chin bay, to the South of the entrance of the Straits of Hainan. 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. A Chinese Houses shall be divided into things or Káp of Ten Houses each, wherein every Occupier of a House shall answer to Her Majesty for the good conduct of the occupiers of the other nine; and Occupier of a House shall be Kápcheong or Thingman to be elected by common vote of the said Tithing or Kap to that office, subject to the approval of this Government, and he shall be the proper Representative of the said Tithing or Kap, and be distinguished by some Badge to be appointed by His Excellency, and he shall hold his said office during one year; and no other person shall assume the title or badge of Kápcheong of such Tithing or Káp.\n\nXIV. It shall be the duty of every Occupier of House to report to his Kápcheong without delay, to the utmost of his skill and knowledge, all Cases, Suspicions of Crime, committed or to be committed, and respectively, for all the purposes of this Ordinance, to be aiding and assisting to the said Kápcheong in the execution of the same; and further, to do his utmost to prevent all crimes, felonies, and misdemeanours, and to apprehend all persons whom he shall find in the actual commission of the same.\n\nIV. It shall be the duty of the Kápcheong to communicate forthwith to the Registrar General all such reports as in Section Fourteen are mentioned, when the same are received by him; and likewise to report to him to the utmost of his skill and knowledge, all Cases, or Suspicions of Crime, whether reported from the Kap or not; and in all other respects to discharge the duties and exercise the powers of a Constable of the Police Force of Hongkong, so as the same are altered by this Ordinance.\n\nThis is the spy system on which the Ordinance rests.\n\nWe give below part of a correspondence between Sir John Bowring and the officers who were employed on the descent lately made on Cowloon, powerful in her armament and crew as the Sampson is.\n\nGovernment Office, 25th April, 1857.\n\nMY DEAR COLONEL—I have been quite shocked to hear that, among other things, the official sent were eiti- Register\" or \"Register's Advertiser, please address to the \"Printer and Publisher\n\nWe further learn that the Chinese captured have been given up to the Mandarins at Amoy, and that the Portuguese taken are to be handed over to the Macao Authorities.\n\nThe expedition to Chek-chun was accompanied by Mr. Wan and acquainted with only one of the inculpating facts by surprise. A large number of \"braves\" were found concealed in the city, and a few house before the attack.\n\nThere is no evidence that poisoning as an art has been practiced in China, and we search her annals in vain for a case parallel to that of Hongkong.\n\nThe pith failed through the dilatoriness of the mandarins sent for distribution among a portion of the attacked force, & quantity of a perennial creeper found on the hills of the central provinces. Its botanical character, as well as its precise physiological action, we have yet to ascertain.\n\nIts active principle appears to be highly volatile, and great exactness is needed in preparing it. Several of Mr. Markwick's gold wristlets were found concealed in a two watchkeys, a ring, and a gold watch and chain had also been pawned to pay a gambling debt, but were not in league with the police.\n\nThe expedition to Cowloon was accompanied by Dr. Bridges, Mr. Caldwell being confined to his room with illness and though the inslemency of the weather prevented it from starting till day light, several hours after the time contemplated, the soldiers were within a hundred yards of the fort ere the Chinese thought of even closing the gates.\n\nThe doors were instantly scaled, the gates opened, and the fort taken possession of, without the longest violence being used towards the Chinese.\n\nIt is said that not far from every poison tree the antidotes were ordered from the Pacific to join Commandant was of course in a state of great alarm.\n\nNOTICE TO MARINERS.\n\nShanglus, 23d March, 1857.

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

Here is the step-by-step reasoning and the corrected output in HTML format as requested:\n\n1. **Format**: The original text is not in Markdown, and the task requires outputting in HTML. The text has been formatted into paragraphs using ``.\n\n2. **Reasonable adding of words and re-ordering**: Some words were missing or unclear due to OCR issues. However, without clear context, minimal changes were made to ensure the original intent was preserved.\n\n3. **Correct spelling errors**: Obvious spelling errors were corrected, such as \"Aupply-\" to \"Supply-\", \"Cheskolindustry\" remains as is due to lack of clear correction, \"Ihade\" to no change, \"bolbaine\" potentially to \"Allowance\", \"Measury\" potentially to \"Treasury\", \"Mauch\" to \"March\", \"Apul\" to \"April\", \"bivil\" potentially to \"Civil\", \"Lynal\" potentially to \"Lunatic\", etc.\n\n4. **Fix spacing issues**: Extra spaces were removed, and missing spaces were added where necessary.\n\n5. **Rejoin broken sentences**: Sentences split across lines were rejoined where logical.\n\n6. **Restore paragraph breaks**: The text was formatted into paragraphs based on the original line breaks and content flow.\n\n7. **Indicate missing words**: No clear instances of missing words due to OCR damage were identified where `...` could be inserted without speculation.\n\n8. **Do not rephrase or rewrite**: The original text's style, tone, and word choice were preserved as much as possible.\n\n9. **Format in HTML**: The output is in HTML using `\n\n` for paragraphs.\n\n10. **No translation of text**: The text was not translated.\n\n11. **Format of File Reference**: Not applicable as there were no file references in the provided text.\n\n12. **Page numbering**: Not detected in the provided text.\n\n13. **Newspaper reordering**: The text does not clearly indicate it is from a newspaper, and reordering was not necessary based on the provided content.\n\n14. **Data in tables**: The text does not contain clear table data that needed reorganization.\n\n15. **Chinese writing direction**: The text contains some Chinese characters but not in a context that required reordering for writing direction.\n\n16. **No comments**: No comments were added to the text.\n\nThe corrected HTML output is as above.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 250647, "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": "CO129-080 - Sir Robinson - 1861 [1-3]", "page_number": 208, "title": "CO129-080 - Sir Robinson - 1861 [1-3]", "content_text": "Point out portion that aren't clear:\n\nThe original text contains several unclear portions due to OCR errors, including:\n\n\"lery of State reprefend his life Bat Butish autaitin Sepeeseed hätied mit aller themselees to be formed it was citing auth in mul Commited Easten Fandards.\"\n\nThis section appears to be heavily corrupted and requires significant correction.\n\nOther unclear portions include:\n\n\"af forten men C.\", \"Math lace allowan be the Kalite of conci- Wized persons\", and \"deng that in Fr Hercules Robinson to The Duke of Newcastle.\"\n\nThese sections seem to be fragmented or contain OCR errors.\n\nThe rest of the text appears to be a historical document, likely a letter or correspondence, with some recognizable phrases and names, such as \"Sir Hercules Robinson\" and \"The Duke of Newcastle.\"\n\nA corrected version of the provided text in Markdown format is as follows:\n\n## Correspondence\n\nSir,\n\nWith Head quarters, Houghtong, February 22nd 1861-\n\nReference to the recent trial and conviction of Two Sikh Soldiers, Bhanksh and Corunditten, of the 8th Purjaut Infantry of the crime of manslaughter, I have the honor to lay before your Excellency.\n\nSir Hercules Robinson, Governor and Commander-in-Chief, etc. etc. Ho...\n\nPage numbering and other metadata should be preserved as per the original scan.\n\nOther parts of original text are not clear, re-organisation is needed.\n\nFor example, the text \"3 Inclouures.

The primary task is to reconstruct sentences and paragraphs, but the given text doesn't seem to contain complete sentences.\n\n## Step 5\nGiven the lack of clear sentence structure and the presence of what appears to be a mix of different languages and codes, the best approach is to correct obvious errors and preserve the original content as much as possible.\n\n## Step 6\nLet's attempt to correct and format the given text according to the instructions. The text \"Si I Argen Path.11. alimi 1815 89. گی کنم A 75\" doesn't seem to have clear paragraph breaks or sentences to reconstruct.\n\n## Step 7\nSince there's no clear indication of how these elements should be rearranged or what they originally represented, we'll present the text in a basic Markdown format, correcting minor issues like spacing.\n\n## Step 8\nThe text can be presented as is, with minor adjustments for readability: \"Si I Argen Path.11. alimi 1815 89. گی کنم A 75\". There's no clear table or column structure to reconstruct.\n\n## Step 9\nAs per the instructions, we should not add commentary or explanations. The task is to proofread and format the given text.\n\n\nSi I Argen \nPath.11. \nalimi \n1815 89. \nگی کنم \nA \n75", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 254212, "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": "CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9]", "page_number": 315, "title": "CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9]", "content_text": "## L. D'A e Castro Esq.\n\n**FIR,**\n\nClerk of Councils,—Hongkong.\n\nCanton 27th March 1862.\n\nHaving reference to your reply of the 10th ult to my letter of the 31st January, in which you inform me that the Minutes of the Civil Service Abuses Inquiry having been printed merely for official and private use, my request for a copy upon which to form a prosecution for the libel, in said minutes, perpetrated on me by D. R. Caldwell, er Registrar General, and J. Scott, Governor of Victoria Gaol, cannot be complied with—I have the honour to inform you that before I received your answer, a gentleman, to whom a copy of the Minutes had been given for his private use, was so good as to make me a present of it, coupled with no conditions whatever, So that, were I so disposed, it would be quite competent in me to prosecute the Government, through its printer, for the libel as propagated in official and private circles.\n\nHaving, however, given full consideration to the circumstances of the case, I have come to the conclusion that the libellers, Scott and Caldwell, had a graver object than my mere annoyance in view, and that if there is to be a prosecution at all, it must be a criminal one, at the instance of the Crown itself;—certainly I shall take no further steps in the matter,—Scott's allegations of any intimacy with the prisoner Shum Aling being so absurd that I cannot bring myself to believe any reasonable person, having a knowledge of me, can give credence to a single word of it.\n\nI feel certain too that my reputation is so safe in official quarters that I can afford to treat the matter with the fullest scorn; and but for your informing me that the minutes have been printed for private as well as official use, the matter might stand without further notice. But the time will come, no doubt, when the Minutes in question will be laid before Parliament, and then what may be thought if I take no steps to rebut the ridiculous calumny upon my character?\n\nIn this view, I think I am not unreasonable in asking the President and Members of the Council, by whose orders the Minutes containing the libel were printed for official and private use, to print and circulate with the Minutes a Supplement containing the printed correspondence of which I enclose you two copies.\n\nI have &c.\n\nW. TARRANT\n\nP. S. The gentleman who gave me the copy of the minutes spoken of, has since expressed a wish to see it for some private reference; and you will oblige by letting me have a clean copy to give to him, mine having some private marks which I do not desire others to see.\n\nCANTON, 27th February, 1862.\n\nThe Hon. JOHN SMALE, Esq., M. L. C.—M. F. C.\n\n&c, &c, &c.\n\nHongkong.\n\n312\n\nSIR,\n\nI beg leave to address you as Grand Jury of the Colony of Hongkong, and crave your attention to the following narrative. The Executive Council of the Government have recently given publicity to a volume intituled Minutes of Inquiry into Civil Service abuses before the Executive Council, 1860-61, and printed by D. Noronha, Government Printer.\n\nAlmost all these minutes refer to an enquiry into an alleged intimacy between Mr. D. R. Caldwell, late Registrar General and Protector of Chinese, and one Mah-chow Wong, a Convict undergoing sentence of transportation for piracy; the result of the enquiry being a finding by the Council that there had been a long and intimate connection between them, and it was of such a character as to render him, (Caldwell,) unfit for the public service, which they recommended his dismissal from.\n\nThe enquiry of which this was the result was ordered by His Grace the Duke of Newcastle in compliance with the prayers of certain public bodies in England; and that it would take place after the arrival in Hongkong of Governor Sir Hercules Robinson, was generally known some time before the Commission of Enquiry was organized. In 1858 there had been a similar Inquiry, and it was because the finding of that Commission was incompatible with the evidence that the public bodies to whom I have referred memorialized the Government, and prayed further investigation. I am particular in drawing attention to these premises, in order to show that D. R. Caldwell, knowing what was about to occur, had strong reason for desiring to remove from his path every person likely to be able to give evidence of the intimacy which had existed between him and the convicted pirate.\n\nForemost among such was a Chinese of the name of Shum Ahing—This man had been over thirteen years in constant business connection with the convict—he had built a hong in Hongkong, in which the pirate had a pecuniary and peculiar interest;—was related to a person at Kupchee with whom the pirate had business relations; was so far implicated with the pirate on one of the charges of which he was convicted", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 254227, "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": "CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9]", "page_number": 330, "title": "CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9]", "content_text": "## Shum Ahing being in prison, and not yet sentenced by Tai-kot (the Supreme Court) wrote a letter and employed Mr. Ka-la-ma's (Grandpre's) boy to carry it to Sam-qui (Caldwell)\n\nThe import of the letter was to this effect; that a shop of Kate-ae-lung was built jointly by Shum Ahing (the writer) and Kani-ne-lang. Formerly Sam-qui said that this shop should be given up to Wong Akoe's wife that she might receive the rental, and \"if this were not done evil would come out of a refusal. I, Shum Ahing, have considered whether holding this house and being in prison were better than to give it up and be free, and conclude to give it up as my best way.\n\nTherefore I write this letter to request (beg) Sam-qui not to employ that \"Pig seller\" to bear false witness against me in Court, in order to my condemnation, and I will make over the shop to Wong Akoe's wife, and also from money on my person pay Sam-qui $100. I myself have written this letter and await an answer.\n\n(Signed) **SHUM AHING**\n\nAfter several days Sam-qui replied: That he had received the letter and understood the whole matter. Formerly, said he, I ordered you to give up that shop and you would not obey, hence your trouble. Now, I have forced this head man to testify against you before the Court (Tai-kot) who will sentence you to hard labor in prison for life. \"Now you say in your letter that if you can get out of prison you are willing to give up this shop, and also make a present of $100 to me, and this you propose to do after you get out of prison. Now since this witness resides with me he requires large sums for expenses, and $400 is not enough. But if you will send your younger brother, who is not in prison, with $600 to me, I will not require this man to bear testimony against you, but when you come to trial I will require him to reverse his former testimony, and you will of course be set free.\n\nYou should complete the matter speedily and not delay. You know my name, I need not write it.\n\nShum Ahing received this letter, and because he could not raise all the money demanded, Sam-qui contrived the false testimony, in conjunction with the head man (Pig man*) to secure his being imprisoned for four years.\n\nI beg of you, Sir, to understand that I only put in this paper, and I give you the original also (which contains something more) as an explanation of the way in which I got my knowledge. That Shum Ahing did write to Mr. Caldwell I do not doubt; but whether his letter reached the party to whom it was addressed, and whether that party answered, as stated, are things of which I have no proof. At all events, there can be little doubt but Shum Ahing thought Mr. Caldwell got his letter; and that he believed the charge would drop if the money demanded were paid; and this, on the expectancy that his friends would raise the money for him, accounts for his not having employed a lawyer to defend him.\n\nBut it was his conviction and removal from his path that Caldwell wanted not his money.\n\nWell, Shum Ahing had no money and does not his very poverty form strong presumptive evidence of his innocence of the charge laid to him? Why, if he had sold 45 men into slavery, at the low price of say $27 each, he would have had at command nearly double six hundred dollars to purchase his release!\n\nTo proceed. To furnish His Excellency the Governor with such proof of Shum Ahing's innocence as may be sufficient to satisfy the justice of the Crown in giving him his release, I have to ascertain:--\n\n1. Whether Soong, the informer, were or were not an impostor as was alleged.\n2. Whether it were true that the thirty-two men that left the Sun-Look-tye hong for the *Entilie Pireire* were really part of the forty-five taken to Macao.\n3. Whether the five men released were really five of the forty-five.\n4. Whether Kwon-sun-kwan, who gave evidence at the Courts, was also an Impostor (and Shum Ahing in his statement to me said he knew nothing at all of him; he believed that he was a man paid by Caldwell and Mah-chow Wong's wife's brother to give false evidence.)\n5. Whether Caldwell were aware of the impostorship of the men put forward as witnesses.\n6. Caldwell's knowledge of the Impostorship being assumed,--what was his motive?\n\nThe result of my investigation was as follows:-\n\nAs to point 1-Whether Soong the informer were or were not an Impostor-I found, on the general evidence of Mr. Marquis and other officers of the Macao Government, per letter to Mr. Marquis and his reply marked `A` and `B` appended, that **ASOONG WAS AN IMPOSTOR**, and this Impostorship is further proved by the evidence of Delfino Xavier (enclosure marked `C`)* and that of Cheang Achun (marked `G`.†)\n\nPage 330\nPage 331", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 255163, "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": "CO129-089 - Public Offices - 1862", "page_number": 317, "title": "CO129-089 - Public Offices - 1862", "content_text": "objected to issue \n\nConsidering the habitual appearance among \n\nZ \n\nuse in large quantities then she would also and that the with lapses of time \n\na \n\nMint to take steps for coining out an amount is my \n\nHim to them \n\nAccessary of bronze coins. \n\nI apprehend that the Dept. will also be prepared in the Master of the Mint's superintendence to procure 2000k / with \n\nLondon, in case East Indies for Bombay, there the Wch satisfied that the coin cô. be dissatisfied \n\nthat H.M. do send out a large quantity of it uncurrent, with the specimens d made \n\nmash, to HK. for the consideration of \n\nBritish Cast, \n\nH.M. who note the refuted in \n\nby 2444.

Wherever there is a National Administration, the Administration has shared, though with prudence and reserve in expression, the feelings of the legislature and the nation.\n\nRussia ought to take into account these sympathies, and profit by the lesson which they teach.\n\n3. Prince Gortchakoff lays much stress on the fact, which cannot be denied, that \"the insurgents demand neither an amnesty, nor an autonomy, nor a representation more or less complete.\"\n\nBut it would be a mistake to suppose that in cases of this kind there are only two parties, viz., the Government occupied in suppressing the insurrection, and the leaders of the insurgents busy in fomenting and extending it. Besides these parties there is always in such cases a large floating mass who would be quite contented to see persons and property secure under a just and beneficent Administration. The confidence of this great mass has not been obtained, and their continued inaction can hardly be depended upon.\n\nHer Majesty's Government must again represent the extreme urgency of attempting at once the work of conciliation which is so necessary for the general interest.\n\nIn profiting by the loyal and disinterested assistance which is offered her by Austria, France, and Great Britain, the Court of Russia secures to herself the most powerful means towards making ideas of moderation prevail in Poland, and thus laying the foundations of permanent peace.\n\n4. In referring to the Treaty of Vienna, Prince Gortchakoff says that \"we should not be far from the truth if we affirmed that the 1st Article of the Treaty of Vienna was prepared by and directly emanated from His Majesty the Emperor Alexander 1.\"\n\nHer Majesty's Government readily admit the probability of this supposition. In 1815, Great Britain, Austria, France, and Prussia would have preferred to the arrangement finally made, a restoration of the ancient Kingdom of Poland as it existed prior to the first partition of 1772, or even the establishment of a new independent Kingdom of Poland, with the same limits as the present kingdom.\n\nThe great army which the Emperor Alexander then had in Poland, the important services which Russia had rendered to the Alliance, and, above all, a fear of the renewal of war in Europe, combined to make Great Britain, Austria, and Prussia, accept the arrangement proposed by the Emperor Alexander, although it was, in their eyes, of the three arrangements in contemplation, the one least likely to produce permanent peace and security in Europe.\n\nBut the more Her Majesty's Government see in the decision adopted the prevailing influence of Russia, the more they are impressed with the conviction that the Emperor of Russia ought to be, of all Sovereigns, the most desirous to observe the conditions of that arrangement.\n\nIt would not be open to Russia to enjoy all the benefits of a large addition to her dominions, and to repudiate the terms of the instrument upon which her tenure depends.\n\nIn stating these terms Prince Gortchakoff says that the only stipulation which can have made it appear doubtful that the Emperor of Russia possessed the Kingdom of Poland by the same title as that by which he holds his other possessions, the only one which could make his rights dependent upon any condition whatever, is contained in two passages, which he proceeds to quote.\n\nBut there is another passage which he does not quote. It is found in the beginning of the 1st Article, and says:—\n\n\"The Duchy of Warsaw, with the exception of the provinces and districts which are otherwise disposed of by the following Articles, is united to the Russian Empire, to which it shall be irrevocably attached by its Constitution, and be possessed by His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, his heirs and successors in perpetuity.\"\n\nWere not a national representation intended by this Article it would have been sufficient to say, \"to which it shall be irrevocably attached,\" without any mention of a Constitution.\n\nIt is, therefore, evident that the Constitution is the link by which Poland was connected with Russia. It is important to know what this Constitution was which united Poland and Russia. It was not prescribed by the Treaty; it was not promulgated by the European Powers; its construction was left entirely to the Emperor Alexander but nevertheless, when once promulgated, it must be taken to be the Constitution meant by the framers of the Treaty of Vienna.\n\nIt was for this reason that Her Majesty's Government proposed as the second of the six points laid before the Government of Russia, \"national representation with powers similar to those which are fixed by the Charter of the 3rd November, 1815.\"\n\n5. Passing to the specific propositions of Her Majesty's Government, Prince Gortchakoff says in regard to the six points, that the greater part of the measures which were pointed out by the three Powers \"have already been either decreed or prepared on the initiative of our august Master.\"\n\nTowards the end of the despatch an allusion is made to \"the measures which His Majesty adheres to, both in the germs already laid down, and in the development of them which he has allowed to be foreseen.\"\n\nThis passage, though far from being a definite assurance either of a national representation with efficacious means of control, or of a national administration, gives some hope that the Emperor Alexander will ultimately listen to the inspirations of his own benevolent disposition and to the counsels of Europe.\n\nThe proposal of a suspension of hostilities is rejected in justice to the Emperor's faithful army, to the peaceable majority of Poles, and to Russia, on whom these agitations impose painful sacrifices.\"\n\nThe proposal of a Conference of the Powers who signed the Treaty of Vienna is rejected, and with it the prospect of an immediate and friendly concert.\n\nIn the place of this fair and equitable proposal, the Russian Cabinet suggests that the three Powers who proposed the separate Treaties between Austria and Russia, and Prussia and Russia, previously to the General Treaty of Vienna, should meet together, and that France and Great Britain should be afterwards informed of the result of their deliberations.\n\nThere are two reasons, either of which would be sufficient to condemn this suggestion :-\n\n1. The Treaties in question, taken apart from the provisions inserted in the General Treaty of Vienna, have reference only to material objects, the use of the banks of rivers, the regulations for towing paths, the free passage of merchandize from one province to another, and such other matters of convenience and of commerce.\n\nNo political developments or details are contained in them.\n\n2. It is obvious that such a Conference would place Austria in a false position, and be inconsistent with her relations to France and Great Britain\n\nHis Majesty the Emperor of Austria, therefore, with a proper sense of his own dignity, has at once rejected the Russian proposal.\n\nIn communicating their views to Prince Gortchakoff, it remains to Her Majesty's Government to discharge an imperative duty.\n\nIt is to call his Excellency's most serious attention to the gravity of the situation, and the responsibility which it imposes upon Russia.\n\nGreat Britain, Austria, and France have pointed out the urgent necessity of putting an end to a deplorable state of things which is full of danger to Europe. They have at the same time indicated the means which, in their opinion, ought to be employed to arrive at this termination, and they have offered their co-operation in order to attain it with more certainty.\n\nIf Russia does not perform all that depends upon her to further the moderate and conciliatory views of the three Powers, if she does not enter upon the path which is opened to her by friendly counsels, she makes herself responsible for the serious consequences which the prolongation of the troubles of Poland may produce.\n\nI am, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nRUSSELL.\n\n4475\n\nnations, have proved insufficient to satisfy the requirements of modern navigation; and whereas various alterations in such rules and practice have from time to time been made by different nations, but the rules so altered have been found to be in some cases inconsistent with each other, and in other cases to have the force of municipal law only; and whereas certain regulations for the purpose aforesaid have been sanctioned by \"The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862,\" and are contained in the table C, in the schedule to that Act; And whereas for the purpose of correcting certain clerical errors the said regulations have, in pursuance of the provisions in the said Act contained, been modified by an Order in Council bearing date the 9th day of January, 1863, and the said regulations, so modified, are appended to the said Order, and to this Order; And whereas by virtue of the said Act and of the said Order the said regulations so appended as aforesaid, so far as relates to British and French ships and also so far as relates to other foreign ships when within British Jurisdiction, came into operation on the first day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three; And whereas it is provided by the same Act, that, whenever it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the Government of any foreign country is willing that the regulations for preventing collision contained in Table C in the schedule to the said Act, or such other regulations for preventing collision as are for the time being in force under the said Act should apply to the ships of such country when beyond the limits of British Jurisdiction, Her Majesty may by Order in Council direct that such regulations shall apply to the ships of the said foreign country, whether within British Jurisdiction or not. And it is further provided by the said Act than whenever an Order in Council has been issued applying any regulation made by or in pursuance of the said Act to the ships of any foreign country such ships shall, in all cases arising in any British Court, be deemed to be subject to such regulation, and shall for the purpose of such regulation be treated as if they were British ships: And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that the following Governments, that is to say :-\n\nThe Government of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands, and\n\nThe Government of the Argentine Republic,\n\nare willing that the said Regulations appended to the said Order, and to this Order should apply to ships belonging to their respective countries when beyond the limits of British jurisdiction.\n\nAnd whereas it has also been made to appear to Her Majesty, that\n\nThe Government of His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway\n\nis willing that the said Regulations appended to the said Order and to this Order should, on and after the first day of September, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, apply to ships belonging to Norway when beyond the limits of British jurisdiction;\n\nNow, therefore, Her Majesty, by virtue of the power vested in Her by the said recited Act, and by and with the advice and consent of Her Privy Council, is pleased to direct,\n\nThat the said regulations appended to the said Order in Council, bearing date the ninth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and to this Order, shall from the date of...\n\nAT THE COURT AT WINDSOR, the 12th day of September, 1863.\n\nPRESENT,\n\nThe QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.\n\nIT is this day ordered by Her Majesty in Council, that the Parliament which stands prorogued to Wednesday, the fourteenth day of October next, be further prorogued to Tuesday, the first day of December next.\n\nArthur Helps.\n\nAT THE COURT AT WINDSOR, the 12th day of September, 1863.\n\nPRESENT,\n\nThe QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.\n\nIT is this day ordered by Her Majesty in Council, that the Convocations of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, be prorogued from the day to which the same now stands prorogued, to Wednesday, the second day of December next.\n\nArthur Helps.\n\nAT THE COURT AT WINDSOR, the 12th day of September, 1863.\n\nPRESENT,\n\nThe QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.\n\n158", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-095 - Public Offices - 1863.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 257674, "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": "CO129-095 - Public Offices - 1863", "page_number": 231, "title": "CO129-095 - Public Offices - 1863", "content_text": "Hongkong\n\nto sanction\n\nto\n\nyou\n\nit's delivery\n\nas jusqurti in you letter pagment of the\n\nSu\n\nne\n\nwhich would\n\ncharged\n\nhave been promet if\n\nit had been sent\n\nas\n\nCi\n\npancel by\n\nThe Overland Steamer.\n\n1\n\nSongsong\n\nN 4453\n\nWills Exy Cuth\n\nMINU.\n\n\"Rolium MAY.\n\nI\n\nActing for\n\nM.

The Contractor undertook the repairs of the Murdun, Quarry Bay, and Stanley Roads, and as the system appears to answer it is proposed again to let these repairs by Contract for the whole of the Year, the Quarry Bay road being extended to Porticwan. The specification includes metalling and repairs to retaining walls, the employment of a good Chinese Overseer on each road, supply of tools and erection of workmen's Sheds. Payment will be made Quarterly after inspection and approval by the Surveyor General.\n\n| Description | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1.

Hyphenation or line-break artifacts will be corrected.\n5. **Rejoin broken sentences** — Sentences split across lines or columns without logical reason will be merged.\n6. **Restore paragraph breaks** — The text will be formatted into proper paragraphs where the OCR has incorrectly merged or split them.\n7. **Indicate missing words** — If a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage, `...` will be inserted in its place.\n8. **Do not rephrase or rewrite** — Only unambiguous errors (spelling, spacing, obvious joins) will be corrected without changing style, tone, or word choice.\n9. **Format in Markdown** — The text will be formatted using standard Markdown syntax.\n10. **No translation of text** — The text will not be translated.\n11. **Format of File Reference** — File references will have no spaces inside parentheses.\n12. **Page numbering** — \"Page XX\" lines will be kept as is if they appear exactly six times (three at the top and three at the bottom).\n13. **No explanation** — No explanatory text will be added to the output.\n14. **Newspaper reordering** — Texts from newspapers will be reordered if necessary.\n15. **Data in tables** — Data clearly in table format will be organized properly.\n16. **Chinese writing direction** — Horizontally written Chinese text starting from right to left will be reversed to left to right if observed.\n17. **No comments** — No comments will be left in the text.\n\n## Step 3: Re-examine the original text and apply the rules\nUpon closer inspection, the original text appears to be a historical document with OCR errors.

According to Treasury Rules, such a fact would be fatal to all claim for Honduras pension; but the Secretary of State specially modified the rule in the case of some professional men at Malta; and I also understand from Mr. Fairfield that pensions have been granted to Attorneys General in the West Indies, although they were allowed to have Private practice.\n\nIt seems indeed to have been considered an advantage that Attorneys General should have Private practice.\n\nMr. Fairfield has also pointed out that in Mr. Ball's letter of the 23rd June last, on the subject of his contemplated retirement, he indicated an expectation that a pension would be allowed in respect of his Honduras service. No objection was made to this (the point having been passed in silence), and I should think it would be a strong measure to tell Mr. Ball now that the Honduras service would not be allowed to count.\n\n5/1/70 \nTaking all the above points into consideration, I think Mr. Ball should have the pension of £875 per annum from Honduras and £975 from Hong Kong.\n\nAuth Dall Yes K12 \nMr. Hubert \nSee Minute by des Bunde § 143 H.

As the lantern will most likely have sixteen sides, it is recommended that the light room should be a sixteen-sided polygon, to be composed of cast iron plates so as to form, when lined inside with wood, a circular chamber 12 feet in diameter. Fifteen plates to have each a circular orifice to be furnished with a hit-and-miss plate; one plate to be provided with a door leading from the light room to the outside gallery balcony. A suitable iron handrail is required for this outside gallery.\n\n5. The usual inner service gallery of perforated cast iron plates is to go round the inside circumference of the lantern upon plates or walls. Iron steps leading up from the light room floor into the lanterns. The steps to be provided with a light suitable handrail; brackets to be bolted to the vertical iron.\n\n6. Tole plate to fit on the top of the blocking is to be roughed and to project 12 inches so as to form a path outside and round the lantern for a man to walk or stand upon while cleaning the glass. The sole plate will also form a cover to shelter the light-room ventilators against rain.\n\n7.

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. His debts amounted to a large sum, some say 100,000 dollars, which he had proposed to liquidate by his trade up the Songkoi to Yunnan. I heard, however, when at Haiphong,\n\n[608]\n\nE\n\n232", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 299412, "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": 251, "title": "CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876", "content_text": "246\n\npurposes generally attributed to European Consulate.\n\n1\n\nHis Ex'ty's foot, however, considers it an\n\nduty to prevent the Chinese Auth's\n\nimprescriptible\n\nfrom obstructing, by practices hardly legal, the\n\nCommerce\n\nmessung\n\nof the Colony, & from continually\n\ninterests\n\nof\n\nvarious grades and\n\nKinds which the Portuguese Govt is bound\n\ninterests alike, and the views and\n\nHis Ex'ty Govt &\n\nprinciples maintained\n\nby\n\nthat\n\nthe Queen identical in regard to their\n\nrelations with China, His Ex'ty's foot\n\nconsiders\n\nto the\n\narrangement wate\n\nthat it would be highly advantageous two countices if\n\nam\n\nmade between the two Govts for\n\nsimultaneous action toward the Chinese\n\nho\n\nprotect.

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.

This tender is $205,000 per annum for three years, and, as the farm was last let for $132,000, the Government secures an increase of revenue from this source of $73,000 a year. The new farmer gives, we are informed, excellent security, and will pay the rent monthly. His Excellency the Governor is certainly to be congratulated upon the outcome, so far, of his struggle with the old monopolists.\n\nWhen Mr. Hennessy resolved to endeavour to obtain what he considered would be a fair price for the Farm, he knew there were great difficulties in his path, but he scarcely anticipated all the trouble there would be in gaining his end. When tenders were first advertised for, the only ones that came in showed very little increase on the old one, and the former farmers loudly protested that they could not give more than $150,000 per annum. His Excellency, however, would not entertain these offers, but still no higher tenders came in until the Singapore and Saigon Farmer was induced to visit the colony. He, after consideration, offered $192,000, upon which the local farmers advanced to $200,000. It was then decided that sealed tenders should be sent in, and these were opened yesterday morning at eight o'clock, when it was found that the Hongkong Farmers had offered $201,000 for one year, while their rival had offered $4,000 more for three years. His tender was, of course, accepted.

This tender is $205,000 per annum for three years, and, as the farm was last let for $132,000, the Government secures an increase of revenue from this source of $73,000 a year. The new farmer gives, we are informed, excellent security, and will pay the rent monthly. His Excellency the Governor is certainly to be congratulated upon the outcome, so far, of his struggle with the old monopolists.\n\nWhen Mr. Hennessy resolved to endeavour to obtain what he considered would be a fair price for the Farm, he knew there were great difficulties in his path, but he scarcely anticipated all the trouble there would be in gaining his end. When tenders were first advertised for, the only ones that came in showed very little increase on the old one, and the former farmers loudly protested that they could not give more than $150,000 per annum. His Excellency, however, would not entertain these offers, but still no higher tenders came in until the Singapore and Saigon Farmer was induced to visit the colony.\n\nHe, after consideration, offered $192,000, upon which the local farmers advanced to $200,000. It was then decided that sealed tenders should be sent in, and those were opened yesterday morning at eight o'clock, when it was found that the Hongkong Farmers had offered $201,000 for one year, while their rival had offered $1,000 more for three years. His tender was, of course, accepted. Both parties stipulated that the more stringent provisions of the new Opium Ordinance should be carried into effect.\n\nThe successful competitor is a British subject, speaks English fluently, and is reputed to be very wealthy. He has now acquired the monopoly of the preparation of the drug in the three colonies. Mr. Hennessy has thus successfully broken down a combination which had been laboriously built up, and held together for a long series of years, with so much tenacity and closeness that it has been impossible to make any estimate of the value of the Farm, and for years the farmers contrived to get it at their own price.\n\nPage 365\n\nC.0. 18690\n\nRECP", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 309932, "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": "CO129-195 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "page_number": 58, "title": "CO129-195 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "content_text": "world still be available, & bank\n\nHere is no reason\n\nintelytapt of fielding bald fut enjoy the ample:\n\nTawn\n\nWorks in addition to\n\nwhy the Vy\n\nshould not be and\n\nadimpers\n\nin trimes\n\n...\n\nof peace.\n\nother donnees\n\nMoreover\n\nThe nodef\n\nwheme authors\n\nto conpicturations of this native and Camera hat will be\n\nTherese\n\nThewlet\n\nto\n\nand by myself of\n\nmust deliberation\n\nallowed for delay ph glartgear, de\n\nof\"\n\nworks\n\nthe carrying out of these wordified\n\nJ\n\nlayer\n\nconfire\n\nth\n\nresurran ay\n\nContemplated, and thin te pian\n\nschen which have Co.\n\nIndeel in is not\n\nobtained anoddalimat imputable that\n\nbeen sanctioned fre\n\nJen\n\nFattaik\n\nAffly of water\n\nfrom\n\nthe skirting und\n\nI have\n\nthe Fylam talley.\n\nMmilarly he open an memy's atta in time yWar.\n\nate.\n\nNo.\n\n22\n\ngious Paper,\n\n-H&S1030)\n\nHongkong\n\nNo.\n\n20373\n\n(Subject.)\n\nDESPATCH.\n\nco.. 20373 be\n\nReg. 21 Nov. 8.\n\nLighting of the Barracks and other wo\n\nAsperly with has.\n\nTransmits printer copy corven expecting.

But assuming that I am bound by the Regulations, I would beg to submit that, having been suspended on February 23, 1880, at the suggestion of the Chief Justice, and in order to avoid a public scandal which they appeared to be imminent, I arranged with the two Deputy Registrars to undertake the duties of my office during the leave of absence for which it was contemplated I should then apply, and having furnished their declarations in writing, which I am ready to produce, they are not in a position to claim the pay during the first two months of my absence, or more than half the pay during the succeeding two months, and that therefore the Clause quoted in your Lordship's letter does not apply.\n\nUnder these circumstances, I trust that your Lordship will reconsider my application.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nMar 25, 1881\n\nYour Lordship's\n\n2 Eaton Gardens, Clapham.\n\nMost obedient Servant,\n\nH.

Neither can his Excellency permit a member of the Bar, and one who enjoys the position of a Queen's Counsel, to advance such charges against the Chief Justice, couched in language so strong, without calling on him either to withdraw those charges, or adopt the most legitimate means for substantiating them.\n\nIt appears that Mr. Pollard, in accordance with a suggestion of the Governor, petitioned the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, before whom the Chief Justice appeared by counsel, and the proceedings complained of were reversed. None of Mr. Pollard's allegations were denied by the Chief Justice, as appears by the case as reported. (See `2 Law Reports, Privy Council Appeal Cases, p. 116`.)\n\nI may be permitted to give an extract from a leading article in the **Hongkong Daily Press** of July 27, 1880, to the editor of which I am a total stranger. \"Of the merits of the squabble we cannot express an opinion; that we leave to professional hands: but of the absolute impropriety of the scene enacted yesterday even the most indifferent spectator or the most partial of Sir John Smale's partizans and admirers cannot fail to form a very sound estimate. We have never heard the fons et origo mali of the existing feud between the parties concerned in the scene referred to; and, therefore, in whom the offence lies cannot be arrived at; yet we are not without some guide whereby to form a judgment; for while one of the parties is a newly arrived gentleman, of whom we know nothing, save that he seems a most efficient and industrious officer, and of whom those competent to express an opinion affirm that he is the best Registrar that ever held office in this colony; the other is a dignitary subject to ebullitions of passion giving birth to outbursts of intemperance and caustic remarks, some of which have been placed on record in the journals of the colony.” \n\nI may further give one other extract from the **Hongkong Daily Press**, dated January 12, 1881, the day on which I left the colony, as an illustration of public opinion. \n\n\"It was indeed an ill moment that gave Mr. Gibbons the opportunity of joining the official staff of this colony. After a lengthy and honourable professional career in England, the circumstances were indeed calamitous which induced him to leave the path he had thus far safely trod. No doubt in the expectation of greater advantages, he left home and friends to join a community remarkable for intelligence and courtesy, there to lend the aid of his experience and learning to the furtherance of the sacred objects of justice and order. The realization of his dreams proved but the wildest nightmare. In the guise of justice he found oppression, and order he learned to be but an euphemism for contention and strife. Such was the disillusionising of this hapless man.\n\n\"It may be conjectured than in the usual course an inquiry will be held upon the Registrar's conduct. Perhaps for the sake of the gentleman himself it were well that such an inquisition should be made, when he will have an opportunity of making known to Government and the public under what extraordinary circumstances it became possible that a man of years, of learning and activity, a man indefatigable in duty, an official specially selected by the home authorities to set right the entangled condition of the Registry, and the ablest Registrar the colony ever possessed, came, regardless of all personal consequences, to appeal to the public and the press as his only protection.\"\n\nI have endeavoured to be concise at the risk of being obscure, and I have omitted to mention many matters which would be relevant had I any other object in view \n\nPage 272", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-196 - Public Offices & Others - 1881.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 310711, "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": "CO129-196 - Public Offices & Others - 1881", "page_number": 289, "title": "CO129-196 - Public Offices & Others - 1881", "content_text": "Amate \n\nL \n\nfull disclosure. \n\nThe success of the plan was contingent upon \n\nPouc \n\nthe petitioning auditor's debt being extant, a previous adjudication having been annulled by reason of defect in that particular \n\nI had arranged to obtain judgment on a debt which could not be disputed and by this means the whole of Huffkins' affairs would have been investigated \n\nOffice or individual. \n\nbbons. \n\nDate. \n\n1881 \n\nof a small capture and all the \n\nhair been recovered \n\nInvous \n\nunexpanded \n\nwrits \n\nLü \n\nII have the honor to be \n\nYour most obedient Servant \n\nHr And Tibbous \n\n2 Exton Gardens \n\nEaling 20 May 10- 1881. \n\nHongKong No 9744 \n\n(Subject.) \n\nDOMESTIC. \n\nC.

You are eighteen or nineteen, but you talk like a baby; you make me half-mad.\" Li-ch'ing said, \"If I did kill him it would be only one life, and what is that worth?\" Hsi-chen said, \"You may throw away your life, but I do not want to lose you; I am over fifty, and I have been looking to you to get a good husband, who may be a support to me; by talking like this you hurt me more than I can express, now the thing is interminable, I can but hand you over to him, I fear all is not quiet, and think how hard this is to hear.\" Li-ch'ing was quiet for a bit then said, \"Your child has a plan ready.\" Hsi-chen asked what it was.\n\nLi-ch'ing said, **Out of thirty-six plans, that plan for departing is the best; why should we not run off to a hiding place, and you Papa take your child away with you, things having come to this pass.** Hsi-chen said, \"I fear your plan won't do, my child, for you can't get off; that Hao-chin holds military authority over the five walls and thirteen gates: 800,000 of the guard are there all under him; if he goes against me, I cannot escape even if I have wings; recollect of all the men he has wished to ruin only one, Wang Shih, has escaped; as for your military prowess, think of that fine fellow Lin Chung who was so bothered by him, that he could neither run away from his home nor get out of his country. He will but use stratagems against you, get you into the meshes of the law, and how can you guard against all he can do. It was well said in olden times, if the nest be turned over not an egg in it will be whole; when a minister with authority uses his influence, a man cannot say where he may die. My child I cannot let you go, but I cannot tell what will happen to us or where we are to go.\" Li-ch'ing at first kept her lips firm, but after listening a bit she got frightened, then said, \"You cannot mean surely to throw your child into that dung-heap; I am determined to confront him, and if I kill the brute my reputation will be made, but your child cannot abandon you, dear Papa; Jam your child-whatever you want me to do, I will do in the hopes there may now be no trouble. I only want you to be in safety.\" Thus she spoke, and then pearl-like tears rolled down her face: she bent her knees and wept aloud. Ch'en seeing that his child knew the truth, looked at her for a bit and then with a psha smilingly said, \"Get up, and I will tell you the truth.\" Li-ch'ing rubbed her eyes and got up. Ch'en told her to sit down and listen. \"You say to leave is the best plan, and in this you have guessed aright, I also think we must go, but it is not easy. The associates of Kao Chin are both obstinate and artful; you having got me into this trouble I fear he is sure to be on his guard against our escape, when time comes and we can't get off then the whole affair will come out. If we want to go we ought to go in a day or two to be any good, but it is difficult to arrange. I have to sacrifice, to burn incantations belonging to the live elements, which will not be finished for fifteen days; since meeting with this obstruction half my labour is nought, nor do I know how soon I may have another opportunity. I must act as he acts, and invite those creatures to a wine-shop and calm them down with honied words; these fools don't forget the mutter and design some evil against me. Kao Chin has already been my debtor, and has still a good feeling to me.\n\nHalf a month may elapse without his doing any violent act, or there being any need to look out; when that time arrives, I will fly to a distance with you, and what can he then do to me; this may be called, the calling for tallies when measuring rice plan.\" Li-ch'ing on hearing this said delightedly, \"Papa, how did you contrive just now to quiet him?\" Ch'en replied, \"I said that my daughter's disposition was passionate but that it quickly came round, that if I went home and spoke to her a little she would beg pardon for her fault to Ya-nui whenever he might come to my house. The creature firmly believed me, said he would be sure to come to my house to pay his respects and after saying a number of polite things he went off, highly delighted. Sooner or later he is sure to come here bothering, and when he does come you must act as I shall tell you. The beast, though cunning enough, is not likely to find out my trick, but will follow my path. Do you agree?\" Li-ch'ing was much pleased and gave a complete assent.\n\nAfter chatting a bit, a knock was heard at the outside door. Ch'en went out to look, the old woman also went out to open the door when she saw three men come up and ask whether Lieut. Ch'en was at home. Ch'en on seeing him recognized Fan T'ien-hsi, and on seeing the other two greeted Fan saying, \"You seldom come here, come in and sit down\" the three did so, and after ceremonies and each taking their respective places Tai and Chou noticed that Ch'en's eyebrows were like the outline of hills, his eyes were liquid as water in autumn; he was eight feet high, with vermilion lips, and thoroughly bearded all over his face with waving hair; he wore his hair done up with a date tree wood pin and a seven-starred cap: he wore a long crane robe of yellow bound round with a nine-skeined girdle; he wore curling shoes and he moved gracefully as a god; although past fifty he had not a single white hair. Ch'en said, \"What are the eminent names of these two gentlemen?\" Fan said, \"Both are called Li; they are two great friends; this one comes from Kwangsi, that one from Ho-hsing; they live with me and have come here to do some business.\" Tai and Chou said they had long known the Lieutenant by reputation, and it was an unspeakable consolation to them to be able now to pay him their respects. Ch'en told the old servant to go and get tea. Ch'en then turned and said with a smile to Fan, \"Why do you, who are on such good terms with me, try to deceive me? Do you think I don't know that this gentleman is Mr. Tai, of Liang Shan Po?\"\n\n## THE TANG NOU CHI\n\nThe three were much startled, and Fan said, \"I must ask your benevolence to us.\" Ch'en said, \"Don't talk about it more, but come inside.\" The three much pleased went in, and noticed the excellence of the blue pinewood furniture. The old woman brought tea, and Ch'en said, \"You go and look after the door, when I call you, come.\" She went out and Ch'en said, \"That gentleman I however don't recognize.\" Tai said, \"He is Chou-t'ung, but where did you ever know me?\" Ch'en said, \"Be careful; some years back I went to Chiang Chou on public business together with an official messenger of those parts; we were drinking tea at a music place when I saw you with a criminal dressed for going into punishment, a little dark man; a tall dark man was also there at wine. My dark friend pointed you out to me and said, 'That is Mr. Tai; he can go 800 li in a day;' I was frightened, but seeing you so tall wanted to go forward to have a look, but I was prevented by my work and could not act rashly; shortly the tall man got into a fight with a fisherman and I went away; hence it is I am able to recognise you.\" The three burst out laughing, and Tai said, \"I had lost knowledge of you; the man in prison clothes going into exile was Lord Sung, the timely rain-bringer who was then in Mongsi.\" Ch'en said, \"I did not then know who he was unfortunately. You two gentlemen have come here for some reason: what is it? Why has Fan come with you?\" Fan then read out the letter asking him to join the band which he had received from Hsu-hsing, and then said, \"These two gentlemen have just seen the attack made on your darling by Ya-nui; the road did not look safe, and they want to help you; but fearing Ya-nui's influence and that his friends might be implicated, and also seeing your darling had gained the victory, I prevented them by force from assisting. They are however still very uneasy and wanting to come to your house both first to pay their respects, and secondly to hear what line of conduct you intended to pursue in this matter: anything... \n\nPage 33\nPage 159", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 317957, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "page_number": 208, "title": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "content_text": "## Governor.

But we have no confidence in the result of a war with France. They would be sure to exact a heavy indemnity with, possibly, certain territorial concessions, and probably we should have some new stipulation regarding Roman Catholic converts and the powers of bishops. But we doubt if they would trouble themselves much about concessions to trade or further freedom of intercourse, judging, as they would probably do, and rightly too, that the benefits would not go into their pockets. They would probably say: 'though we have had to put our hands in the fire we shan't pull out any chestnuts for you.'\n\nStill, all things considered, we incline to think that a war followed by a speedy settlement is perhaps the best thing that can happen. The only danger is the indirect results on China. The Empire holds together at present, with so little coherence that it is possible the shock of a foreign conflict might break up the mass altogether. Bad as the present Government is, the chaos which would ensue would be ten times worse. Another period of civil war would leave the country a barren wilderness. If there were any prominent candidate for the Throne who could command the suffrages and confidence of any considerable portion of the Empire, the expulsion of the Manchus might be looked for with certainty, with the hope of a considerable improvement in the system of government in the near future. But we know of no such candidate. Li Hung Chang is much too old to attempt anything of the kind now. Besides, he has had many chances and has never shown the least symptom of disloyalty. There is no other prominent official we know of who would have the least chance of success. So the best thing to wish for is that the present Government may be retained and improved. If a war did not upset it, we think it would in all probability improve it. It would show the Chinese that their trust in big guns and forts is vain and hopeless, and that China is and must be for a long time a third-rate Power in the world. If she frankly accepts this position, and endeavours to improve in the only true path of progress, that is by furthering the material wealth of her people by all the aids of modern science, she may in time hope to obtain a better place in the scale of nations.\n\n518", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 325518, "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": "CO129-216 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [5-6]", "page_number": 107, "title": "CO129-216 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [5-6]", "content_text": "1065\n\nJeopen writer he witter amhrdly\n\n5, the Surveyor General, and Ca ose. that individuals duly apply...\n\n4\n\nin\n\nling for building permits.

As to workmen, if they should, in spite of this proclamation, still repair ships, they also will be punished according to the law regarding rebellion. Let each observe this, disobey it not.\n\nThe Attorney-General opened the case to the jury at considerable length. The first three counts were based upon Sec. 4, Ord. 4 of 1865, and the last upon Common Law. The first three counts charged him with encouraging, soliciting, &c., the readers of the paper to commit the crime of murder, and if the jury should be satisfied that the actual case against the defendant answered to any of these descriptions, it would be competent to them to find a verdict of guilty against him. The fourth count charged him with inciting to kill. The Section of the Ordinance provided as follows:-\n\n| Section | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| All persons who shall within this colony conspire, confederate and agree to murder any person | whether he be a subject of Her Majesty or not, and whether he be within the Queen's Dominions or not |\n| and who shall within this colony solicit, encourage, or endeavour to persuade | any person to murder any other person, whether he be a subject of Her Majesty or not, and whether he be within the Queen's Dominions or not |\n| shall be guilty of misdemeanour | and being convicted thereof, shall be liable, at the discretion of the court, to be kept in penal servitude for any term not more than ten and not less than three years, or to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years with or without hard labour. |\n\nThe Attorney-General said he might at once intimate that all representations made through the press should be considered as coming within the meaning of this section—which was exactly the same as the Imperial Act—as when made personally. This proclamation appeared at a time when certain well-known events were passing in this colony, which would, no doubt, have some bearing in the minds of the jury when considering the issue before them. The defendant published the proclamation in the `Wah Tat Yat Po`, a Chinese newspaper having a large circulation among the Chinese population of this colony. At that time there were a considerable number of French men-of-war in the harbour, and of French officers in the colony, the state of affairs now prevailing between France and China was prevailing then, and as they were aware, there was a considerable amount of feeling and enmity among the Chinese portion of our population towards the French. About that time Chinese workmen refused to repair the French ships in dock, and the coolies refused to work at loading or unloading French vessels, which were evidences of the strong and not unreasonable feeling of enmity the Chinese here regarded the French with. The jury were doubtless also aware that a large portion of the Chinese population of this colony was to a great extent indirectly under the influence of the Chinese authorities in Canton, as many of them had wives and children or property on the mainland. The jury would understand how the officials could punish Chinese in this colony for disobedience through these indirect means. They could bring this influence to bear on the Chinese population here, already enraged against the French, and it was under these circumstances that the defendant thought fit to publish this proclamation in his paper, giving it first an introductory heading commending it to his readers.\n\nThe Attorney-General then proceeded through the whole of the publication complained of, giving comments on the different parts, and with regard to the greater part of it, he said he had no complaint to make. He could not conceive that there was anything objectionable in any civilised power appealing to its subjects, wherever they might be, to refrain from assisting the enemy of their country and threatening to punish those who did so, but the objectionable part was contained in the few lines at the end in which those who had behaved traitorously would be forgiven, and rewarded as all other Chinese subjects here would be with money and honours if they were to secretly kill some French commander, or destroy by fire their munitions of war, &c. It offered rewards to Chinese living here under the jurisdiction of our laws for secretly killing any French officer they could in this colony. If all this had been published merely as an article, a matter of argument and opinion from the editor as to the proper course of the Chinese in Hong Kong, he took it that would be a deliberate inducement by the defendant to his readers to commit the crime of murder. How much more powerful in its effects on the readers must it be when it purported to be an authoritative command from the rulers of the Two Kwang.\n\nHaving regard to the presence of a number of French ships in this harbour at the time this proclamation was published by the defendant, he put to the jury that it was an incitement to murder French officers in this colony.\n\nHis Lordship pointed out that there would be a distinction between the people ashore and such as might, as the proclamation stated, be serving on board the French men-of-war.\n\nThe Attorney-General said that was so, and if the jury were of opinion that the proclamation only referred to Chinese in that position, or enlisted into the French army, they could hardly find the defendant guilty upon any of the counts upon which he was charged. He submitted, however, that the reasonable construction to put upon the proclamation was that which such men as would read it would put upon it. It was not likely that they would draw any such fine distinctions, but they would take it to be an incitement for them to secretly kill French officers in this colony—to commit the crime of murder. If the jury took that view, they would find a verdict of guilty.\n\nThe Attorney-General proceeded to call Ho Afuk, translator in the Registrar-General's Department, who produced the copy in question of the `Wah Tat Yat Po` published by defendant. The paper was supplied to the Registrar-General's Office from day to day, and the one produced was supplied on the 17th September. It contained a proclamation purporting to emanate from the Viceroy of Canton, of which he had made a correct translation. He believed the paper had a large circulation, 2,000 or 3,000 a day, including the ports.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Francis—The same notice appeared in all the other three Chinese newspapers in this colony.\n\nThe Attorney-General said that was his case.\n\nMr. Francis then addressed the jury for the defence, and he said his contention would be that the defendant had not, by the publication of that article, incited his readers to commit the crime of murder, or any crime which could be dealt with by the laws of this colony. No doubt they would be told by the Attorney-General that a man was assumed to intend the natural consequences of his acts, but the jury must consider all the circumstances in deciding what a man's intention was. The Attorney-General had told them that the greater part of the proclamation was perfectly legitimate and unobjectionable; why then did he attempt to prejudice their minds by calling their attention to the alleged result of that proclamation in the refusal of the Chinese to work for French ships? The Chinese Authorities had acted in accordance with international law, and if individuals had gone beyond the laws of this colony it was not their fault. He asked the jury, as sensible men, to consider the proclamation from beginning to end, and what would be the effect of it. Was it reasonable to suppose that the defendant had published the proclamation in his paper on account of the condition of affairs in the colony at the time, when it was only issued on the 15th and published by him and the other Chinese newspapers in this colony on the 17th? He published it as soon as he got it as an item of general news to his subscribers, not with any regard to the circumstances passing at the time, and he would have published it had there been no French men-of-war in the harbour at the time. The proclamation was not addressed simply to the Chinese in Hongkong, but to those in Macao, and all the adjacent coast. If the jury could place a construction upon this proclamation by which all that it contained was perfectly legitimate, it was not for them to twist it so as to take it otherwise, and the defendant was entitled to claim that the most favourable interpretation should be put upon it.

It was found that of this half (viz: $46,550) only $23,406 of the vote had actually been expended, so that a balance of $23,143 had lapsed to the Colonial Treasury, while the second grant of $113,158 had only $8,065 expended, leaving a balance to the treasury of $35,093 (actually $105,093 is not stated but $113,158 - $8,065 = $105,093).

Many skeletons lay around, and some of the soldiers, with grim jocularity, stuck them up here and there on baxibong, or over the doors of the Kenyuhs (native barracks). I mention this in case such an incident should be distorted into a tale such as that which was circulated in regard to Kep, with respect to which, by the way, I may say I have learned that the Annamite soldiers, like the Chinese, do not scruple to decapitate their enemies, having the belief that a headless man is a hapless one; his head being cut off, he is cut off from the abode of bliss.\n\nOn the 8th instant, there was some liveliness in the camp, occasioned by the continuous infantry fire amongst the hills higher up the valley, a body of Chinese troops, detached from the army, and no doubt the same body, or a portion of it, which afterwards gave trouble by attacking two companies of the Foreign Legion, who formed the advance guard. The Foreign Legion have had very hard work several times during the recent campaign, and on each occasion they earned a good name. Perhaps the most obstinate resistance met with in taking the forts in the defile leading up to Dongaon, was from one captured by the Foreign Legion, in doing which they suffered serious loss. I have previously stated that amongst the officers, the Commandant was killed and a lieutenant wounded; the latter, an Italian Prince, has since died. I have at a later date witnessed the Legion bearing for hours the brunt of a hot fire. On the 8th they had to stand a sharp attack from picked Chinese troops. It was in this attack that a discipline and skill was shown which has not hitherto been displayed by Chinese troops. At one period of the fight, indeed, they were almost successful in turning the position of the Legion. While these were opposing the main body of the enemy, the Chinese suddenly appeared within 150 yards of them, almost in rear. A soldier of the Legion happened to see them, gave the alarm and rushed upon them with his bayonet. He lost his life, but saved the fight; the enemy being beaten off at a cost to the Legion of 8 men wounded, and a narrow...\n\nOn the 10th instant, the Staff started at 8 a.m., the press, a very small detachment, closely following. Soon we were split up, however, by the artillery, mules, ambulance train, and various detachments of troops who had preceded us. Having in time succeeded in passing these obstacles, we found a good road, when compared with the broken tracks which pass for roads in the East, in fact broad as a good mountain path in the West, and evidently made recently by the Chinese previously to bringing the troops and cannon down from the North, our track followed the course of the stream for some hours through a narrow valley, which reminded one of parts of the district around Bolton Abbey, with a whole circle of hills above, and luxuriant growth of trees below. The trees themselves might not, for the most part, appear to the uninitiated eye to differ much from English trees, but the excessive abundance of parasitical plants, with tendrils depending from every branch in trailing masses, would tell the traveller that he was in a region warmed at some season of the year with a hotter sun than Albion boasts; whilst the monkeys here and there disporting themselves amongst the leafy boughs would tell him he was nearer than he would be in England to the home of his, as we are told, remoter, if not remotest, ancestors.\n\nAscending the valley continuously without other interruption than that occasioned by rather steep descents and ascents at the crossing places of the stream, we got upon the right bank; the trees gradually disappeared and left the hills bare on both sides of us down to the stream beneath. At four o'clock the valley opened out a little into a close amphitheatre, to which a dark hill crossing the valley, and on which stood a fort commanding the entrance, gave the appearance of a cul de sac. Heading our horses down a steep descent, and pulling them over the rugged bed of the narrow stream, we followed the General-in-Chief and staff up the hill on which stands the fort, beside which we camped for the night. All within the fort was a mass of charred debris, its recent tenants, the last of whom were making off as the advance guard arrived, having burned what was readily combustible before their departure. The walls were well constructed, and surrounded by a double trench, but the place was perfectly useless for defence being commanded on either side by heights of greater elevation.\n\nSome idea may be formed of the length of the column of 6,000 troops with some 1,500 or 1,800 coolies, marching in single file through a mountainous country without interruption, with a halt for the coolies of 10 minutes every hour, when I state that though the staff reached the camp at 4 o'clock it was 9 o'clock before the last of the baggage train arrived.\n\nOn our arrival, my fellow countryman and myself, who mess together, managed to collect a few scattered bamboos which had escaped the flames within the fort, and made the framework of a rude hut, open at the front and sides, but sheltered at the back by the breast-work of a fort trench, on to which sloped our roof. The roof was thickly covered with grass, and protected us fairly well from the drenching mist which enveloped the hills during the night.\n\nIt was a pretty sight that day, to see the column defile through the hills, breaking up into battalions, companies and sections, which halted far down in the valley, or mounted to various positions on the upper slopes around, and to see the camp fires flaming in the darkness up to the high ridges on which our outposts were placed. It was a rare opportunity of seeing the whole column at one view.\n\nFrom this point two roads branch off towards the North, one following the valley to the right, and the other leading to the left. The better road followed the larger stream to the right, but by an early reconnaissance made on the morning of the 11th, it was ascertained that it had been so broken down by the retreating Chinese as to be impassable by the artillery. The column, therefore, moved along the road to the left, following the lesser stream. More than an hour after it started, the staff, and ourselves in its train, followed the higher road from the valley, along the ridges of the bleak hills, and at length joined the route in the ravine. Here we got entangled in the column for a time, but about 11 o'clock we came upon the two Generals and their staffs assembled at a point where the route, leading on through narrow gorges, sent off another route round the sides of the hills to meet it again further on. It was evident that something was expected. There was a galloping to and fro of aides de camp; an occasional Chasseur was sent up the high route to reconnoitre; the artillery, the detached pieces of the guns and ammunition being carried by mules, was brought forward as expeditiously as possible, and was followed by the 143rd regiment of the line, and they by the ambulance corps, and that again by the battalions of the marine infantry; after these came the baggage train, which, again, was followed by the Zephyrs and Turcos, with the others to follow. It was 11 o'clock. General Negrier was having for his breakfast a cigarette, which he lighted from the pipe of one of the Chasseurs halted beside the staff. Presently they were off, for it was the younger General's brigade which was in front on this day. Whilst the column deployed before him, General Briere de L'Isle and his staff seated themselves on the hillside and breakfasted off tinned meats, &c. At 12 o'clock we followed, again in the General's train, moving slowly at first, as we squeezed our way amongst the line of troops on the narrow track, but more rapidly by and by as the ravine gradually opened out into a widening valley to give space for fields of paddy. We heard the report of the fire just ahead; a prisoner has been brought in, and he is shot in the field below.\n\nAt 1.10 p.m. a cannon shot is heard. \n\nPage 425", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-220 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1885 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 328467, "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": "CO129-221 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1885 [4-6]", "page_number": 242, "title": "CO129-221 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1885 [4-6]", "content_text": "I have greatly reduced but if you will ensure proper discipline the number of coolies & boys employed duplicated the work you have refrained will be softened the unwholesome eaten food issues to them all and largely improved.

There are noble exceptions, men like Parkes whom we have just lost, strong and capable men, never fearing to speak out the truth to the Government they serve, however unpalatable or inconvenient it might be. But they are sadly few, and such men are only tolerated in the public service when special abilities and qualifications make them indispensable.\n\nThere are many who think that the nearer we approach to democracy the less capable will be our management of national matters, especially that of foreign questions involving expenditure abroad. The democracy, they say, will not pay the insurance on prospective advantages. They will always prefer immediate and parochial reform. Will the statesmen who are to lead the coming democracy make it the business of their lives to guide them in the right path? Unless they do it is to be feared that the country will pay more and more attention to domestic affairs, and will not make the necessary sacrifice for national defence. If so, there can be no doubt what the result will be. It is a case of organization and consolidation, or disintegration. There is no alternative.\n\nIn conclusion, I believe every Englishman who earnestly cares for his country will agree with Lord Overstone when he said \"if we prove too apathetic to take the necessary precautions, or make the necessary sacrifice, we must bow to the fate which the whole world will declare we have deserved.\" To that I for one say, Amen.\n\nOffice or Individual \n**Office** \n\nDate \n1885 \n7 July \n\nLast previous Paper \n`Rov 11830` \nfor, wit... 11.9 July \n**Hong Kong** \nNo. \n`11888` \n(Subject) \n`Post Office Ord: 11/85` \n424 \n**DOMESTIC** \n\n| CO 11833 | IRELY |\n|-----------|------|\n| **REGO 7 JUL 85** | Thanks for copy of.

Très puissant autrefois à l'époque où, sous le nom de Ciampa, il comprenait toute la Cochinchine française, l'Annam méridional jusqu'à Hué et le Cambodge augmenté de provinces aujourd'hui siamoises; riche et florissant dans ces temps reculés, témoins les admirables ruines des monuments d'Angkor; le royaume des Khmers semblait toucher, vers 1859, au dernier terme de la décadence. Pressé entre deux voisins plus puissants que lui, le Siam au nord et l'Annam au sud, foulé tour à tour par leurs armées, démembré, menacé d'absorption, il avait fini par reconnaître la double suzeraineté de Bangkok et de Hué. Le roi Ang-Duong, couronné en 1848 après une lutte acharnée dans laquelle les armées siamoises avaient soutenu sa cause, avait reçu l'investiture du monarque annamite et du monarque siamois.\n\nAng-Duong, en vue de se soustraire à la double sujétion qui pesait sur lui, eut un instant la pensée de faire appel à la protection de la France. Cette velléité n'eut pas de suites immédiates, les intrigues et les menaces de la cour de Siam ayant empêché le roi Ang-Duong de recevoir M. de Martigny, ministre plénipotentiaire, envoyé à Campot en 1855, par le gouvernement français, afin de répondre aux ouvertures faites auprès de notre consul à Bangkok par un mandarin cambodgien émissaire du roi.\n\nAng-Duong mourut à Oudong en 1860. Les troupes françaises occupaient déjà Saïgon. L'Annam, absorbé par son conflit contre nous, n'intervint pas au Cambodge, en cette circonstance. L'influence de Siam y fut dès lors exclusive et prépondérante. Le fils aîné du défunt roi Ang-Duong, Prea-ang-Vodey, qui adopta plus tard le nom de Norodom, reçut l'investiture siamoise et régna d'abord sans opposition sous la tutelle de la cour de Bangkok.\n\nNo 3482\n\nLe jeune roi, il n'avait que vingt-quatre ans, et était obbareach (second roi) depuis trois ans, après avoir été bonze à Siam durant quelques mois, ne tarda pas néanmoins à voir son autorité sérieusement ébranlée. Il avait deux frères. Le premier, Si-Savat, (l'obbareach actuel) était gardé à peu près comme otage à la cour de Bangkok; mais le second, Si-Votha, dévoré d'ambition, soutenu par des mandarins influents, ne tarda pas à se poser en compétiteur au trône de Norodom.\n\nUne rivalité de harem précipita la guerre entre les deux frères (1). Les partisans les plus zélés de Si-Votha, Snang-Sor et Juthéa, surnommé plus tard Rama, à la suite de ses exploits militaires, alliés l'un et l'autre de la famille royale, soulevèrent les provinces au commencement de 1861. Norodom, après des péripéties diverses, fut forcé de s'enfuir d'Oudong, alors capitale du Cambodge, et d'aller se réfugier à Siam.\n\nSa restauration ne s'effectua qu'en mars 1862, grâce au concours intéressé des Siamois et à quelques secours donnés par le gouverneur français de la Cochinchine. L'insurrection toutefois ne fut complètement étouffée qu'à la fin de cette même année 1862, après la mort de Rama et la capture de Snang-Sor. Quant au prétendant, Si-Votha, il avait réussi à se mettre en sûreté.\n\nC'est vers cette époque que M. l'amiral Bonnard, gouverneur de la Cochinchine, remonta, pour la première fois, le Mékong, à bord d'une canonnière et se mit en relations avec le jeune monarque restauré. Un court séjour à la cour d'Oudong suffit pour permettre à l'amiral de se convaincre que le général siamois, représentant de la cour de Bangkok, auprès de Norodom, était le véritable roi du Cambodge.\n\nDevenus limitrophes de ce royaume depuis notre établissement à Saigon, et substitués par le fait de la conquête aux anciens droits de co-suzeraineté de l'Annam sur le Cambodge,\n\n(1) Voir Moura, Le royaume de Cambodge.\n\n121", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 329862, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885", "page_number": 185, "title": "CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885", "content_text": "## Destruction of Chinese Junks by French Naval Auths.\n\n**Copy desp from Acting Cons at Sariaw**\n\nW Meade\n\n**Date.** \nMar. 885\n\n**Previous Paper.** \nNo. 4997\n\n**(Subject.)** \n**(REC)** \n**DOMESTIC.** \n**C.

Here there was once a flourishing silver mine, but the workings were buried by a landslip many years ago, as the natives said, since which the ore has only been worked by squatters, who wash it and send it away in small quantities to be smelted: the ore is said to yield both zinc and silver.\n\nSince scaling the plateau up to Hui-shui-t'ang the rocks have been the same, namely, limestone, generally argillaceous, and shale with sandstone only at the bottom of the deep valleys beneath the limestone. After Hui-shui-t'ang the argillaceous limestone is supplanted by a harder rock, apparently siliceous limestone. The gorges, bluffs, caves, and underground rivers that filled the landscape with romantic nooks and picturesque surprises now give way to broad valleys and hills, hard, round, and desolate. The villages are terribly poor. Some, as Yao-chang, were evidently once more considerable, for there are well-hewn blocks of limestone lying about that would not disgrace a London warehouse. But over a pile of such stones there are now nothing better than brushwood shanties, into which an English farmer would scruple to put a cow.\n\nOn the 18th November we reached Wei-ning Chon, which was burnt several times during the rebellion, a wretched place, commercially speaking, but interesting from its position on a lake, and from the fact of its being one of the highest towns in this part of the world (7,330 feet). I have put the lake into my sketch as it appears on the District Magistrate's Map, where it is described as follows:\n\n\"This was formerly a marsh, but has now become a water domain (lake), with a circuit of 100 miles (much indented). There are hills all round, much rock and sand, and a poor soil, cold and barren, not worth cultivation.\"\n\nI gathered from the people who came to gossip as I stood on the wall overlooking the lake, that the water encroached to its present size only in 1858. Before that date there had been no more than an inundation of a narrow basin round the river in summer, much the greater part of the present area of the lake being planted with mao pui (identified at Kew as *Panicum frumentaceum* Roxb., *P. Crus-Galli* var.). The same year an attempt was made to drain the lake to the north-west, and a hill was cut through with that object; but the attempt failed, for hail or other like phenomena always stopped the work, showing that it was the will of Heaven that their fields should remain flooded. It is probable that the cause of the lake's extension is the blocking up of an underground channel as at T'ung-tzŭ Hsien (see last part of this Report).\n\nOn the way down to the lake at Wei-ning we noticed for the first time a deposit which is a distinctive feature of the Yunnan plateau—a loamy earth of a warm red colour which lies high up in the hills in sheltered places—in gullies, for instance—as well as on the floor of the valleys where it has been cut through by water as by a knife, leaving vertical sides often more than 100 feet in height. Sometimes it bears clear evidence of deposit by water and sometimes appears almost granular, so as to remind one of descriptions of the loess of Shansi. It has evidently never been subjected to pressure. Wherever it has been washed away limestone appears beneath. This bright-coloured earth, pleasant to walk and ride upon and well stocked with game, is one reason amongst many which make the plain of the Yunnan lakes a pleasant land to the European traveller.\n\nA large sheet of water is always interesting to dwellers in mid-continent; but this lake supplied us with bodily as well as mental food, so as to impress itself on the memory of the whole party; the water-fowl were easy to get at and of excellent flavour; while the question where all this water came from baffled comprehension and excited curiosity. A few miles to the south-west, at Lien-san-p'o, the road reaches an elevation of 7,770 feet, the highest point touched during the present journey, beyond which the country drains towards the K'o-tu River. On the north side the line of water parting appears to be only a few miles distant from the lake, and the lake is said to drain off towards the north-west. There may be very high land somewhere on the east to reward the traveller of the future's time to leave the road.\n\nFrom Lien-san-p'o to the K'o-tu River, a distance of about 27 miles, there is a descent of 2,550 feet. This stream is about 30 yards across where we passed it, but with a bed at least 100 yards broad, strewn with blocks of shale, sandstone, and limestone, but of no rocks of igneous or volcanic origin.\n\nThe boundary between the Yunnan and Kuei-chou Provinces is formed by a brook that joins the K'o-tu River on its left bank, and then by a range of hills that meets the river west of the crossing. The bridge referred to in the name K'o-tu-ch'iao is that over the brook. On the way down to the river we passed two human heads in cages, blackened by months' exposure. They had belonged to men in General Pao's force, who had plundered an officer's baggage. These heads had done good service, for the whole army had the advantage of passing within two yards of them.\n\nThe descent to the river much resembled that to the Ch'ih-shui River, but was shorter and steeper.\n\nAs soon as the K'o-tu River is crossed the inevitable ascent begins, and in 8 miles, covering an ascent of 2,100 feet, the water parting between the K'o-tu and the T'ang-t'ang streams is reached at an altitude of 7,420 feet above the sea; and a further 7 miles, covering a descent of 1,590 feet, the latter part very steep, bring us to the dilapidated village of T'ang-tang, once a famous mining township. There are many disused copper-mines, but very little is being done at present. The same story was told us here as everywhere else, that nothing was wanted but capital.\n\nI should have mentioned that on the 12th November, at Ta-che-p'ing we met numbers of Lolos, or, as they are here more politely called, I-chia (barbarian families) (see Lolo Vocabulary, No. 1). They are very numerous in this part of the plateau; the men wear the Chinese dress, and can usually speak Chinese. There being no mining to inspect at T'ang-tang, I went for a walk with my Chinese clerk to inquire about the Lolos, and if possible discover a man who could write their character, when, while standing in the dry bed of the stream that runs past the village, I saw a man riding down a mountain-path towards us on a good pony, with big brass stirrups, and two mounted servants behind him. A boy who was following me thereupon said, \"You were asking about the I-chia; look, there is the T'u-ssŭ (aboriginal Chief) coming into town.\" I went back to the inn at once, and sent my writer to make friends with the T'u-ssŭ, and, if possible, bring him in to see me, which he succeeded in doing.\n\nThe T'u-ssŭ was a heavy-featured, stolid man, with whom it was difficult to make way. After time and native spirit had taken the edge off his dulness and suspicion, he gave us an account of the wrongs he and his tribe had suffered lately at the hands of the Mahommedan Chinese who were encroaching on his lands, ending with a request that I would go and see a youth of his tribe who had just been half-killed in an affray. We found a youth of 18, who had just been brought into the village for treatment, lying on a leather mattress spread on the floor in the middle of the room, alongside a wood fire. He had bad sword cuts on the shin, knee, and wrist. The wounds had been covered by an aboriginal practitioner with a plaster of simples, which it would not have been prudent to remove, so I gave him the safe advice not to drink and smoke too much, and left some carbolic oil to be applied when the dressing was removed. The T'u-ssŭ was now my friend, and invited me to go back with him to his place in the country, within a few miles of which there lived, he said, a perma, or sorcerer, who could write the Lolo character.\n\nWhen I got up next morning it was raining cats and dogs. However, the chance was too good to be lost, so at 7 A.M. I went round with one servant. The T'u-ssŭ was in bed, and we had the pleasure of seeing him make his toilet. I was now very much afraid that he would delay our departure, because of the rain which was falling in torrents; not at all; our stolid friend walked straight out and had the horses brought round, without even remarking that it was raining. We followed a bridle-path that crossed torrents and wound round the edge of precipices, sometimes riding through water up to the horses' knees, sometimes toiling on foot through mud over the ankle. We had gone on thus for about three hours, but our host still said his house was far ahead. About 11 o'clock my servant urged that we could go no further, as we should not have time to get back to the inn, a matter of some importance to him, for he would not touch food in the houses of the Lolos, for fear of being poisoned. Just as I had decided that we must turn back we came in sight of a cottage, which our host indicated as the abode of his sorcerer, where I persuaded him to introduce us. The perma was unfortunately thirty miles away, officiating at a funeral, but his wife and brother were in the house, and five or six other Lolos soon arrived from cottages higher up the hill. The distance of the Chief's house still remaining an uncertain quantity I excused myself from going further, and set to work to learn what I could from the Lolos present.\n\nAs it was cold and we were wet through, wood was thrown on the fire, round which we sat eating walnuts—the only food to be got. The Chief lay down and smoked opium. About the sounds given in the Vocabulary (Lolo No. 2) of these people's language I am fairly confident, because the six or seven Lolos present were all agreed about them. The perma's brother, our host, could not write; but he professed to be able to pick out a character here and there in his brother's MSS. I copied the following characters from his indication, but he was not very clear about them, and they must be accepted with some doubt:\n\n# 3", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-235 - Public Offices - 1887.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 335822, "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": "CO129-235 - Public Offices - 1887", "page_number": 438, "title": "CO129-235 - Public Offices - 1887", "content_text": "## had time to develop their resources and to organize a system of land transport the concessions that have been granted to the French need be regarded for the moment as what the French have had principally in view, necessarily handicapping our commerce.\n\nSince it was determined to carry on and consolidate M.

The Tonquin Credits of, I think, 30,000,000 fr., were at the time pending before the Chambers, and M. de Freycinet's argument had a great deal to say to their being voted. Still, these Credits have, unless I am mistaken, steadily remained at the same figure, and looking to the opposition they encounter on each occasion of the Estimates being submitted to the Chambers, it is not surprising that efforts should be made to increase by every available means the local sources of revenue in Tonquin and Annam.\n\nThis will account for M. Constans' anxiety to obtain the withdrawal of the prohibition on the importation of Chinese opium into Tonquin by way of the frontier.\n\nIn addition to the export duty to be collected by China, such opium will, of course, be taxed on its arrival in Tonquin.\n\nHad M. Constans succeeded in persuading the Chinese Government to allow salt to pass from Tonquin into China, the French would have charged an export duty; and he has succeeded in getting their consent to Chinese products, transiting Tonquin to an Annamite port, for export to a country other than China, being subjected to the Franco-Annamite Tariff rates.\n\nAs regards the further reduction in the frontier import and export duties by the **frd Article** of the Additional Convention, it is in reality so slight that possibly it will be held by Her Majesty's Government as not more calculated for the moment to injure British trade entering China by the Treaty ports under the Maritime Tariff, than the previous reduction of one-fifth and one-third obtained under the Convention of the 25th April, 1886.\n\nThis point was thoroughly investigated by Her Majesty's Government, in consultation with the Board of Trade and the Chambers of Commerce in England on the occasion of the signature of the Treaty of Peace of the 9th June, 1885, and the Commercial Convention of the 25th April of the following year, and taking the despatches marked in the margin as a record of the opinion formed at the time, it would seem to have been admitted that, looking to the defective means of internal communication in the French Protectorates, the difference of duty need not be looked upon as conferring any material preference or advantage on France over the other nations interested in the Chinese Treaty ports, provided that corresponding advantages are secured to Great Britain with respect to the frontier trade of Burmah and the navigation of the southern rivers of China.\n\nWhile the negotiations between the Chinese Government and M. Constans were going on, I took an opportunity of letting the Ministers of the Tsung-li Yamên understand that, although it was neither my duty nor my intention to throw any obstacles in the way of their coming to a satisfactory arrangement with my French colleague, which, on the contrary, I earnestly desired, I thought it only right to caution them against making any concessions to France which would give her an unfair advantage over other friendly Powers, and so cause embarrassment to China. In such an eventuality, I should unhesitatingly take steps for the protection of British interests and their Treaty privileges.\n\nThe answer to my message was to the effect that the most-favoured-nation clause in existing Treaties with China referred solely to intercourse between foreign nations and China through the Treaty ports, and could not, therefore, be made available for securing privileges granted to any Power in connection with overland intercourse.\n\nI did not push the matter further, because I knew China to be in great straits on account of the occupation of the French of the Paklung territory, and also because I had no reason whatever to doubt that, when the moment arrived for a definite arrangement of the trade between Burmah and Yunnan, China would be perfectly prepared to give us a not less favourable Tariff than she had conceded to France.\n\nA great deal has been said about the advantages to be derived from opening a port on the West Canton River. I am inclined to think that those who are in favour of such a plan may not impossibly have exaggerated the commercial benefits to be derived from it, which would, moreover, be equally shared by the French and other nations having Treaties with China.\n\n## SKETCH OF THE PAKLUNG DISTRICT\n\n| Location | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| A | From X to Pei Shih, the frontier line is under discussion. |\n| B | From Pei Shih (river frontier to sea and then short sea frontier, Blue and Red line) to Chu Shan (Chu Shan is Chinese Territory) the blue and red line is accepted by both sides as the Frontier Line. |\n| C | From Chu Shan the line dotted red to Tombeau and from Tombeau to A is the line traced by the French as being their frontier line, but they propose to run it to B only, provided the Chinese agreed to their line of frontier from Chu Shan to Tombeau (Chinese did not agree). |\n| D | Chinese run their line of frontier from Chu Shan to Cape Paklung (blue line); and of course embracing Cape Paklung. |\n| E | Though French maintain their right to frontier to point A, they limit disputed (contested) territory to the horse shoe shaped tract of country from Chu Shan to Cape Paklung, passing by Tombeau and point B. |\n\nPage 4\n\nKamoon & Huth, Lith.

The scheme does not present any serious engineering difficulty. The design of the proposed new breast-wall may be the same as that adopted in 1877 when the Praya was re-built. Pierre-perdue foundations may be used provided the blocks on the outer slope average at least a yard cube. This form of foundation would be inadmissible if the work were exposed to the impact of ocean waves, but the harbour of Victoria is land-locked, and in the absence of any offing or reach of sea, there is no undue exposure to high waves capable of clawing down the rubble mound. An embankment-wall on pierre-perdue foundation that in England might be classed as a better sort of river-wall, may, as far as I am able to judge at the moment, be ventured on, but this point will require careful investigation. It is an important point, for the adoption of the expensive form of ordinary foundations for sea-walls exposed to the ocean, i.e., piles with concrete in mass, or concrete in blocks lowered into place would so seriously add to the cost as to discourage the Marine Lot-owners from embarking in the scheme.\n\n14. In 1865 this Government built a short section of 900 feet of Praya wall in the vicinity of Wing Lok Street, and founded the masonry in 20 feet of water on a pierre-perdue mound. This wall has stood over 20 years, without so far indicating any sign of weakness. Settlements there have been as was to be expected. This wall withstood the great typhoon of 1874, and was one of the few sections that showed no injury to the foundations, and it may be accepted therefore as practically demonstrated that the storm-waves in the harbour of Victoria have not the force to undermine the pierre-perdue substructure if built to an adequate slope with large blocks. An additional circumstance favourable to pierre-perdue foundations is the fact that the sea-bed is silting up by reason of the great quantities of detritus washed down every year (during the tropical storms of summer) from the mountain range behind the town, and that there are no tidal currents in the harbour likely to be induced by the change of coast line or likely to scour out the sea-bed.\n\n15. The Lot-owners expressed wish to be allowed to carry out the reclamation themselves through their own Engineers cannot be entertained. The Government must insist on the work being executed by its own Engineers for the reason that the subsequent maintenance of the structure will remain as a permanent charge on the Government and not on the Marine Lot-owners. It is the Government therefore that is most interested in securing a degree of stability that will preclude any later recurring outlay in maintenance.\n\n16. The great business activity of the port, and the yearly increasing shore traffic require that a wide marine roadway should be made. I would stipulate for nothing less than 75 feet of width, but of these 75 feet I would allow the owners of frontage to utilize 10 feet with their verandahs and arcades over the public foot-path (e.g., Government land) leaving 65 feet for vehicular and chair traffic and for the landing and embarking of cargo.\n\n17. The proposed City tramways could not be conveniently built along the proposed new embankment, for the cars would have to run athwart an incessant cross traffic between the lighters and the warehouses. The trainways would be far better placed along the present Praya which would become an inland thoroughfare. To admit of double-lines of tramway without danger of inconvenience to the public a minimum width should also be stipulated for in respect of this thoroughfare. I would insist on a width of 75 feet again allowing the frontagers on both sides 10 feet for their verandahs and arcades over the public footpath, and leaving 55 feet from kerb to kerb for the tramways and carriage traffic.\n\n18. A glance at the map will show that the proposed new reclamations will form nothing less than a new town, and the repetition in this new town of the narrow lanes that disfigure the old town should be carefully avoided. We want wide streets for light and ventilation and to prevent the spread of fires. Wide streets are all the more a necessity to us, that there is a tendency now among builders, owing to the increased value of ground, to add to the height of houses, and it is certain that four and five storied houses will become the rule. In laying out new streets these eventualities should be considered. Taller houses and increased traffic demand that no main artery of traffic be less than 75 feet wide and no cross street of any importance less than 40 feet wide.\n\n(5) \n\n19. The length of the proposed sea-wall will be 3,400 yards or nearly 2 miles. Of this length the frontagers will have to pay for 2,800 yards and the Government 600 yards. These 600 yards represent the frontage of the Crown lots tinted yellow. I am informed that if the Government would not care to go to the expense of embanking the 600 yards the Lot-owners themselves would be glad to relieve the Colonial Treasury of this charge on condition of their keeping the land reclaimed. Such a relinquishment of its own rights, however, on the part of the Government, would be equivalent to making the frontagers a present of no less a sum than one and a half million dollars.\n\n20. Mr. CHATER who has gone very minutely into the matter calculates the cost of the sea-wall, including sewer extensions and all contingent masonry-work at $300 per yard lineal of sea-frontage. My own opinion is that the cost will be more like $360 per yard lineal, and at this higher figure, I estimate the 600 yards of wall would cost the Government $216,000. From this I deduct $50,000 for the stone available from the present old wall, reducing the Government outlay on masonry works to about $166,000.\n\n21. With regard to the cost of filling in behind the 600 yards of wall for the formation of the five sites shown tinted yellow on the map, and which comprise an aggregate area of 300,000 square feet I am of opinion that it will not exceed $179,000, or say in round numbers $180,000 making a total Government outlay on works of $346,000.\n\n22. A light railway may be laid along the Praya from the Sulphur Channel to the Gas-works, at which point the new reclamation begins. The Kennedytown cliffs and steep hillsides fronting the Sulphur Channel may be excavated down and the material (red loam) used for the filling in, the cliff excavations along Sulphur Channel being so conducted and finished off as to leave level building sites for auction sale on the completion of the works. In this way I calculate that an area of 300,000 square feet of hillside may be excavated down and levelled at Kennedytown and left available for auction sale after the reclamation works are finished. The sale of these additional 300,000 square feet of levelled sites would at $1 a square foot yield the Government another $300,000 in premiums and $7,200 a year in Crown Rent, and to the latter figure may be added subsequently about $10,000 more for rates and taxes on buildings. The total profits to the Colonial Treasury from Kennedytown excavations will be therefore as follows: proceeds from land sales $300,000, and subsequent yearly revenue $17,200. These profits are of course additional to those set forth in paragraph 5.\n\n23. It should be made clear to the promoters of this scheme that although the Government will carry out the works, the cost of administration, of railway, plant and rolling-stock, machinery, and all contingent expenses must be borne by them and the Government respectively in the relative proportions of the areas which it will fall to each to reclaim, and that any stone and old building materials available from the present wall will be retained for itself by the Government and utilized on those sections of the proposed new wall which the Government will build on its own account. This arrangement is only fair, since it was the general rate-payers who paid for the old stone and who are therefore entitled to the benefit of it in the new works.\n\n24. In this Colony extensions to marine lots have always been allowed by reclamation from the sea provided the lot-owner carried out his reclamation in accordance with plans approved by the Government. No premium has ever been charged for such extensions. The Government has always contented itself with the increased Crown Rent corresponding to the area reclaimed. Sir HERCULES ROBINSON and Sir JOHN BOWRING dispensed with money premiums, and deemed it best to satisfy themselves with the yearly Crown Rents. The largest reclamations were made during the administration of these two Governors, and their policy seems to have been adhered to and continued by their successors.\n\n25. But though premium may have been dispensed with in money, it has in reality always been claimed in land as an equivalent of money, and the frontagers have been permitted to make sea reclamations only on condition of their surrendering to Government a portion of these for public use in the shape of roads and streets.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-238 - Governor Des Voeus - 1888 [7-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 337587, "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": "CO129-238 - Governor Des Voeus - 1888 [7-8]", "page_number": 618, "title": "CO129-238 - Governor Des Voeus - 1888 [7-8]", "content_text": "apparatus which he prefers.\n\nI have the honour to be, \n\nMy Lord, Your Lordship's Most Obedient \n\nHumble Servant, \n\nG.

The rainy season of the south west monsoon appears to have set in earlier this year than usual. During the month of April over 12 inches of rain fell, and of this quantity nearly 7 inches was due to a storm on the 29th and 30th of that month, causing considerable damage to streets and roads which the Acting Surveyor General (Mr. COOPER) estimated at $3,400. The first half of May was comparatively dry. I arrived at Hongkong on the 18th of May. The night after my arrival there was a very heavy thunderstorm, several buildings were struck by lightning, and 5.94 inches of rain were recorded during the day ending 10 A.M. on the 19th. On the three following days there was an aggregate fall of 5.88 inches, and there were showers at frequent intervals until the 28th. Early in the morning (2 A.M.) of 29th the rain began and continued almost uninterruptedly (although with greatly varying intensity) until 5 P.M. of the 30th. Appendix A shews the daily rainfall for the first half of the year, and Appendix B the hourly rainfall on 29th and 30th of May.\n\n3. On the morning of the 29th I was at the Peak, and such was the violence of the storm that (with some others who were staying at the Hotel) I had to wait a considerable time before the chair coolies would venture on the descent, owing to the force of the wind and rain. About 9 A.M. however we started; I shall not readily forget the journey down. I followed the road as, all things considered, it appeared to me a preferable route to the tramway. Along the upper levels the gusts of wind threatened to carry us off the mountain path. During the descent the water rushed in sheets down the steep mountain slopes, the nullahs were full, and the side drains and culverts of the road were overflowing. I arrived at the Government Offices about 10 o'clock. Shortly afterwards Mr. BAYNE, Overseer (then in charge of streets, since deceased) came to report that the great Glenealy culvert (which carries the storm water and sewage, and traverses the centre of the City, passing through Wyndham and Pedder's Streets, where several of the more important offices, and public buildings are situated) had burst in several places. Before there was time to ascertain full details a watchman arrived to report that the service tank of the Tytam Waterworks was in danger. Accompanied by Mr. COOPER I proceeded at once to the site. We arrived there a little before Noon, and found that the tunnel, or great culvert, 192 square feet in transverse area, which conveys the water of the Albany Nullah under the Tytam service tank was blocked, and the water that should pass through it was pouring over the concrete wall of the tank, and had washed away a large portion of the earthen bank on the down stream side of the wall, as well as parts of the Bowen and Garden Roads, and had caused considerable damage to the banks of the Ravine. As the concrete walls of the tank were not designed, without the aid of the earthen bank, to resist the pressure of the water, there was good reason for taking immediate precautionary measures, so as to be prepared in the event of the failure of the tank. As the Murray Barracks are situated near the Harbour, in the bed of the same valley, 400 feet below the tank which holds some 35,000 tons of water, I requested Mr. COOPER to give immediate notice to the officer in command of the Regiment there quartered, and I proceeded forthwith to inform His Excellency the General Commanding of the critical state of affairs. Orders were at once issued to clear the basement floors of men and stores.\n\n4. I find on referring to the hourly record of rainfall kindly furnished, at my request, by the Director of the Observatory (Dr. DOBERCK) that the rain began between 2 and 3 A.M. of the 29th and continued until about 1 P.M., up to which time 10 inches of rain had fallen, of which 7 inches fell in the three hours before Noon (10 A.M. 3.06 inches, 11 A.M. 3.35 inches, 12 (Noon) 1.27 inches). There was then an interval of two hours without rain, after which it rained moderately until near midnight.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-242 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1889 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 339479, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-242 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1889 [8-12]", "page_number": 70, "title": "CO129-242 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1889 [8-12]", "content_text": "69 \n\n17. Although more or less damage occurred in almost every street and road in the Colony, the chief scenes of disaster were (1) the Albany Nullah, from its commencement downwards (2) the Glenealy Nullah (marked respectively A. and B. on plan) and (3) the heavy landslips which, having their origin in the steep slopes above the Tytam Aqueduct, swept down the mountain side, carrying away the masonry of the Aqueduct itself in three places. In the case of the heaviest of these slips, the torrent carried the debris straight through the Public Cemetery, and landed the greater part on the race-course in the Happy Valley below. I propose in the first place to describe these principal accidents with some amount of detail, and for further particulars, and a full description of damage outside the City and in Kowloon, I beg to refer to Mr. COOPER's reports.\n\n## Damage in the Albany or Military Nullah\n\n18. I have already alluded to the very serious damage which occurred on the morning of the 29th May to the service tank and filter beds of the Tytam Waterworks, situated at C. on plan. On further investigation, the cause was obvious. Excavations on a large scale were carried on during the past year in preparing a site for a house on the summit of the ridge above the service tank (at D. on plan, Rural Building Lot No. 7). A large portion of the debris was deposited on a very steep slope immediately below the house. On the morning of the 29th (I am informed at 11:40 A.M.), a great mass of this spoil bank, amounting at the lowest estimate to 10,000 tons, became detached and was precipitated down the ravine. This mass started from an elevation of about 1,400 feet above sea level and must have travelled with fearful velocity down slopes varying from 1 to 1, to 3 to 1, until its course was arrested by the obstruction formed by the service tank, which had been constructed across the bed of the valley, a passage for storm water being provided by means of a great culvert or tunnel carried under the bed of the reservoir or service tank. The distance traversed horizontally by the avalanche before its course was arrested was about 2,200 feet; the fall vertically was about 1,000 feet. It naturally swept everything before it, clearing a passage through pine woods and scrub, from 150 to 200 feet in width, and leaving the hill side, previously covered with luxuriant vegetation, as bare as a ploughed field. Huge boulders strewn in the bed of the nullahs and on the mountain side were swept down, and it was one of these, measuring 350 cubic feet and weighing about 25 tons, which effectually blocked the tunnel mouth.\n\n19. At about one-third of its downward course, the path of the avalanche crossed the line of the tramway which connects the City with the Peak district. The tramway, including two bridges and other works, was swept clean away for a length of about 100 yards, and the rails and girders were twisted and contorted in a very remarkable manner. The cars could only have completed their last journey a few minutes before the catastrophe occurred. The greater part of the ironwork was subsequently recovered from the debris lodged on the upstream side of the service tank. Photograph No. 1 gives some idea of the course of the avalanche.\n\n20. At the service tank itself, this vast mass of rocks and earth first filled up the bed of the valley above the tank to the level of some 20 feet above the coping. It would then appear that the rush of water down the nullah burst this temporary obstruction and caused a great wave to sweep over the service tank and some of the filter beds. To this great and sudden rush of water may be attributed much of the damage sustained by the Bowen and Garden Roads and the earthen embankment outside the masonry walls on the downstream side of the tank and filter beds.\n\n21. The yet heavier rainfall during the night and early morning of the 30th caused a very heavy rush of water across the service tank and over the wall on the north or downstream side, which had now to serve as an overfall or weir, a purpose for which it is hardly necessary to observe it was not designed. This great flood brought down with it enormous quantities of sand and other material. During the 29th and 30th, about 18,000 cubic yards of earth were washed away from the slopes of the service tank and filter beds, and probably an equal quantity from the banks of the nullah below the tank, the bed of which has in consequence been greatly enlarged. The rush of water also carried away the bridge over the nullah on the Kennedy Road. During the night of the 29th and 30th, a formidable slip had occurred in the lower part of the nullah. A mass of earth fell from the cliff at the northwest angle of the Head Quarter House onto the open space east of the Officer's quarters at the Murray Barracks (at E. on plan). This dammed the valley; the large open masonry conduit, 22 feet wide and 12 feet deep, was filled up, and the flood of water carrying mud and sand spread along the Queen's Road right and left, flooding the ground floors of the barrack rooms and leaving a solid deposit, consisting chiefly of clean quartz sand, on the roads and barrack yards adjoining, to a depth of from two to four feet. From 15,000 to 20,000 cubic yards of debris were here deposited, and a far larger quantity was carried into the Harbour and formed a formidable bank at the mouth of the nullah. The effects of the flood in the neighbourhood of the Murray Barracks are shown in Photograph No. 3.\n\n* Photograph No. 2 shows damage below service tank.\n\n## Damage in the Glenealy Nullah\n\n22. The water of this nullah discharges into the Harbour 700 yards west of the mouth of the Albany Nullah. It is a natural ravine down to the point marked B. on plan. From this point, the water is carried to the sea through a masonry culvert varying in sectional area from 12 to 26 square feet. This culvert passes down Wyndham and Pedder's Streets, of which it forms the main drain. The gradients are very rapid; the fall from the upper end of the culvert to the Clock Tower being 200 feet in a horizontal distance of 1,400 feet, average gradient 1 in 7. The first damage which was reported during the storm occurred to this culvert. The volume of water on the morning of the 29th being greater than could be discharged through the culvert, the hydraulic pressure blew up the crown of the arch in several places. Large quantities of debris were deposited in Queen's Road and Pedder's Street, and the ground floor of several buildings was flooded. But during the greater downpour in the early morning of the 30th, some heavy landslips occurred in the ravine just above the upper end of the culvert. These dammed up the flood waters in the valley until their accumulated force broke through the temporary barrier, and they swept down towards the sea, damaging the culvert more or less throughout its whole length. Huge stones of all sizes up to a ton were transported by the force of the water to the level portion of the culvert in Pedder's Street, where, owing to want of fall, the heavier masses of the debris were arrested, thus effectually blocking the drain, so that the water had to be discharged along the surface of the streets. Stones of at least a ton weight were lifted about 10 feet from the bed of the culvert and deposited on the side path in Pedder's Street. The valley above the bridge on the Caine Road at F. on plan, which had been terraced and laid out with great taste by my predecessor as a public garden, was completely wrecked, and trees, shrubs, flower beds, flights of granite steps, and entrance gates were swept clean away. In the road at G. on plan, the bursting of the drain formed a huge hole in the centre of the roadway, 55 feet in diameter and 19 feet deep. Photographs Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7 show the destruction wrought by the flood along the line of the Glenealy drain. During the night, a portion of the Glenealy flood water forced a new channel for itself down Zetland Street into the Queen's Road at H. on plan, where its onward course was blocked by the houses on the north side of the road. A considerable deposit of sand was here formed, and the neighbouring premises were flooded.\n\n23. On the 29th, when the first damage occurred to the Glenealy drain, it was evident that the culvert was completely blocked for a considerable length by the debris of rocks and building material. As the removal of these obstructions must necessarily occupy a considerable time, my first care was to make such temporary provision for the passage of storm waters along the surface of the streets as to prevent, if possible, any further damage to neighbouring buildings by flooding. This was effected by forming protecting banks of stone on either side of the stream. I was not free from anxiety as to the effect a further heavy rush of water down such steep declivities might have on the foundation of the houses. In Zetland Street, the torrent tore up the roadway and ploughed up the bottom to a depth of 5 or 6 feet in a very short space of time. Instructions were given accordingly to watch the line of the Glenealy torrent night and day, and arrangements were made that should serious damage threaten the buildings in one street, to divert the flood in another direction or to divide it, and thus minimize its destructive action.\n\n24. Owing to the precautions taken, no further injury occurred through the flooding of the basements of buildings in this locality, and although some dissatisfaction was expressed at the length of time the debris was allowed to remain in some of the streets, it is obvious that the slight inconvenience arising from this cause was as nothing to the serious consequences that must have resulted had the banks been removed before the culvert was completely cleared. This was effected, and the debris removed from Pedder's Street and Queen's Road on 26th June.\n\n25. In connection with the flood in the Glenealy Nullah, I should explain that it was found on examination that the quantity of water coming down this ravine was considerably augmented owing to the works in progress in connection with building operations on Building Lots 1146 and 1147 at J. on plan. A catch-water drain had been constructed many years ago along the line marked J.K. on plan to divert the water from the upper slopes, which would naturally find its way down the Glenealy Nullah, into the Albany Nullah. But during the progress of the building operations referred to and the construction of an aqueduct to take the place of the original open drain, which traversed the site sold as building lots, it was found impossible to carry the intercepted water into the Albany Nullah, and it therefore had, previous to the storm, been diverted into its original discharging channel, i.e., the Glenealy Nullah, and thus necessarily tended materially to increase the flood volume.\n\n26. It is, I think, apparent even to a casual observer that the development of the City was not foreseen by the Government of the Colony during its earlier years, nor by its technical advisers. Situated as the City mainly is on a strip of low-lying land overhung by steep mountain slopes, liable to excessive rainfall, it would appear obvious that a primary element of safety was to convey the water from the various nullahs through the habitable area by open masonry channels constructed along the natural course of the torrents. Instead of this, however, the water courses have, with few exceptions, been enclosed in culverts carried down the main streets, and when thus covered over, have been converted into sewers for the discharge of house drainage, a purpose for which they are obviously unfitted, and instead of the natural and straightest course having been adopted, these subterranean", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-242 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1889 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 339484, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-242 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1889 [8-12]", "page_number": 75, "title": "CO129-242 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1889 [8-12]", "content_text": "# Appendix E.\n\nHONGKONG, 27th July, 1889.\n\n## Appendix E.\n\n**STATEMENT** shewing approximate cost of repairing Damages caused by the Rain-storm of 29th and 30th of May, within the City of Victoria.\n\nHon.

Lower portion of lightning conductor carried away.\n\nOne panel in door of service room situated in tower below light room was broken to allow the water which entered the Tower through the damaged lantern to escape.\n\nThe eastern window of oil room in tower 106 feet above mean sea level was knocked in, this window was secured to masonry by four screw bolts screwed into cast iron sockets built into masonry. Two small windows on staircase gangway from lower building to Tower and Lightkeeper's Quarters broken, level above mean sea level 100 feet.\n\nOn the upper floor of the lower building 95 feet above mean sea level windows in bathroom and Chinese quarters facing north and east respectively broken.\n\nOn ground floor of lower building level 84 feet above mean sea level window of Telegraph Office facing east and entrance door facing north broken, the typhoon bar of the latter, dimensions 3′.0\" × 3 × 24\", being broken in two at centre.\n\nBoiler house door 75 feet above mean sea level broken.\n\nThe railing along the eastern side of the embankment leading from Tower to landing was bent level with the ground. The railing along the path down the western side of the Rock and the derrick used for landing situated a few feet above mean sea level were carried away.\n\nThe old water tank situated near the north end of the embankment which had been converted into a hen house was carried away.\n\nThe door of the pump house and some thirty feet of piping situated on the west side of the Rock a few feet above mean sea level were carried away.\n\nWith the exception of the old water tank which had been converted into a hen house and five of the coping stones and masonry chimney of the lower building, the masonry work has not apparently suffered.\n\nThe internal fittings, and crockery in the Lightkeepers' Quarters suffered to some extent owing to the water which found its way into the buildings through the broken lantern, windows and door.\n\nThe short length of land wire in connection with the telegraph was displaced.\n\nThe salt water carried on to the roofs found its way by means of the down pipes into the fresh water tank.\n\nTEMPORARY ARRANGEMENTS,\n\n2. The Harbour Master informs me that the Lightkeepers fitted storm glasses in the lantern and The windows exhibited two lighted oil lamps in the Tower on the night of the 3rd, which are still in use.\n\nin the Chinese Quarters and telegraph room have been boarded up and the telegraph land line repaired.\n\n3. I regret that I have no evidence to enable me to state definitely the immediate cause of the lantern glazing giving way which led to the damage of the dioptric apparatus.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nThe Honourable\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY.\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\nFRANCIS A.

Nevertheless, of the 10,000 children now under instruction in the schools of this colony, hardly one-fifth attend those Kaifong schools, whilst over 8,000 children, mostly Chinese, are crowding into the schools established by Church and State. Moreover, those Kaifong schools are now, so far as accommodation and scope of teaching is concerned, in the same cramped and slipshod condition in which they were 50 years ago, and as oblivious of the needs of female education as ever. On the other hand, the Mission schools and the Government schools, largely patronized by the Chinese people, are from year to year steadily improving their accommodation, their organization, and their methods of teaching, and drawing into the education net both boys and girls of all nationalities. Lest among the audience some of the leaders and representatives of the Chinese community, and I would earnestly call upon them to reconsider their attitude of isolation, not merely apart from, but virtually in opposition to the main drift of the educational movement of this colony. I would ask them to consider that the onward sweep of the world tolerates no longer any standing still, in matters of education no more than in politics, trade or civilization, that in the increasingly keen competitive struggle for individual or national existence, the victory is now with the educated, while the illiterate remain ciphers in society or become the dangerous tools of designing agitators; that, as Chancellor Kent put it, the parent who sends big sons into the world uneducated (in the modern sense of the word) defrauds the community of a useful citizen and bequeaths to it a nuisance.\" I would add that he who does not send his daughter to school must be regarded as an enemy of coming generations. By all means, I should say, let the leaders of the Chinese community strike out a path of their own in matters of education, but let them remember that the welfare and success of the Chinese people of this Colony require girls' schools as much as boys' schools, demand English as well as Chinese teaching, and necessitate a modern and moral rather than an antique or merely intellectual training of the people. Sir, I have spoken of the three great educational agencies at work in this colony, the people, the Church, and the State. It is to Mr. Belilios that we owe the addition of a third educational agency, as important, as powerful, as necessary as the others, the agency of private generosity in creating educational endowments. The endowed schools of England have hitherto been and still are the backbone of England's educational system. I will go further and say the endowed Schools of Europe were and are the mainsprings of European civilization and greatness. Hongkong, I am sure, needs educational endowments as well as the agencies of Church and State. Mr. Belilios has taken the initiative in creating several educational Trust Funds, for the encouragement of medical studies among the Chinese, for the promotion of female education among all classes, and so forth. The interests of the colony call upon others, whom God has blessed with worldly goods, to follow and, if possible, improve upon, the example set by Mr. Belilios, by creating educational endowments. In conclusion, I commend to Your Excellency the acceptability of the building, which accommodates over 600 children. Mr. Belilios has generously erected it on ground provided, with equal generosity, by the Government and which he desires to hand over to the unrestricted control of the Government, under the name of \"The Belilios Public School.\"\n\nHis Excellency said-Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very pleasant task to perform this afternoon, and that is to accept, on behalf of myself and all future Governors of Hongkong, this princely gift which has been presented to the public of Hongkong by the Honourable Emmanuel Raphael Belilios. (Applause). I may mention in connection with it that several years ago Mr. Belilios offered to build a school for girls if the Government on its part would provide a suitable site. This offer, for reasons which were doubtless sufficient, was declined by my immediate predecessor, Sir William Des Vieux. Shortly after my arrival here in December, 1891, that offer was repeated, and after consultation with the Director of Public Works and the Inspector of Schools I gratefully accepted that offer. Having inspected this building, ladies and gentlemen, and looking at it from this standpoint, I must say that I consider myself very fortunate in having, even to a very slight extent, been associated with Mr. Belilios in this charitable and benevolent undertaking. Mr. Belilios has made the question of education, and especially of female education, his own in Hongkong. This building is capable, as Dr. Eitel has just stated, of holding between 600 and 700 girls, and that it will be of immense benefit to the Chinese community goes without saying. But Mr. Belilios's generous acts did not commence with this School, and I trust they are not terminated with it. He has established several scholarships here at a cost of $14,000. He has given a site to the Committee of the Medical College valued at least at $15,000, and has pledged himself to erect a College thereon at a cost of $34,000 if the maintenance of that building can be guaranteed either by private or public support. I do not wish to make any promise in regard to that project, but I shall only be too happy if, during my tenure of office, I should find myself in a position to take it into favourable consideration. This building has cost $30,000. Now, for the last fifty years the community of Hongkong has been distinguished for its liberality in subscribing towards private and public charity, and from time to time many wealthy individuals have given large sums for private and public objects. But I believe I am right in saying there is no single instance of one public institution having been founded and erected by one single individual. That is the case with the Belilios School. Such remarkable benevolence and generosity are not common in Her Majesty's colonies, though they are not infrequent in the great dependency of India, and I venture to think on this account that Mr. Belilios is not only entitled to the thanks of the present generation but that he is entitled to and will gain the respect and admiration of the community of Hongkong in all time to come. (Applause). He has spent a portion of his wealth most nobly, and the good results which will flow from his munificence will be a lasting record of his great efforts in the cause of education and public health. I am sure, ladies and gentlemen, you will all be pleased to hear that our most gracious sovereign the Queen has been made acquainted with Mr. Belilios's liberality, and I am instructed by the Secretary of State, and in giving me that instruction he has expressed his own personal pleasure, I am instructed to say that Her Majesty has approved of the honour of the Companionship of St. Michael and St. George being bestowed upon our worthy and honoured citizen. (Loud applause). No way in Hongkong is more worthy of that honour, and no man in Hongkong, I am sure, will value it more than Mr. Belilios will do. I only now have to accept, on my own behalf, and on behalf of future Governors of Hongkong, this building, and I also have to accept the responsibility which its maintenance entails. I say, and I am sure you will all say with me, may the Belilios Public School flourish; may it be the means—and I am sure that is Mr. Belilios's chief wish—may it be the means of elevating the social scale of many of the Chinese girls of Hongkong, and of spreading amongst them and their relatives on the mainland a fuller knowledge of Western methods of thought and Western educational and civilizing influences. I have only to congratulate you, sir, upon the opening of this building, and to congratulate you most heartily, Mr. Belilios, upon the honour your most gracious sovereign has been pleased to confer upon you. (Applause.) His Excellency amid loud applause cordially shook the Hon. E. R. Belilios by the hand.\n\nThe Hon. E. R. Belilios said-Your Excellency, Lady Robinson, ladies and gentlemen. Before handing over the keys of this building I have to thank Your Excellency and Dr. Eitel for the flattering remarks you let fall when alluding to what you were pleased to regard as acts of benevolence on my part to this colony. I can assure you, sir, that what little I have done in the past and whatever (God willing) I may be able to do in the future has been and will be undertaken, not with any thought of self-glorification but purely and simply for love of this island, where I have spent the best years of my life, and from esteem for that great book, the Bible, which solemnly imposes on man as one of his first duties to do good to his fellows to the best of his means and ability. This honour of the Companionship of St. Michael and St. George which you have just conferred on me is a pleasant surprise to me. If I had known it was coming I would have detained my family from going home in order that they should have been present to have witnessed the ceremony performed and to have participated...\n\n475", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-260 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1893 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 353455, "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": "CO129-261 - Public Offices & Others - 1893", "page_number": 443, "title": "CO129-261 - Public Offices & Others - 1893", "content_text": "Alingel \n\nSony Rory you for \n\nthe persect of a contortions patent in the england \n\nfor \n\nav \n\ninvention patented \n\nIshfel besped \n\nYou to receife a respet \n\nwpon the matter, as, \n\nIn the absence of any explanation, the I do not See sufficient justification for the \n\ncourse taken by the \n\nColonial Secretary \n\nis not apparent. \n\nI havs \n\nMr Wilson shet Lucas & \n\nMi \n\nHer Roy \n\nalication for certain letters patust \n\nletter sending application to bolay \n\n441 \n\n8 Lef17893 \n\n\"I am directed \n\ndirected by \n\nthe Marquess of \n\nRipon teach the \n\nreceipt your \n\nletter of the - instant the papers \n\nenclosing \n\ngetter from Col Lec Phony returning noted in the \n\npapers \n\nand \n\nyou \n\nI \n\nAuth \n\nmargin, to reform \n\nthat the papers \n\nhave been sent in \n\noriginal to the for \n\nof the Hong Kong, but that his Lordship.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-261 - Public Offices & Others - 1893.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 353486, "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": "CO129-261 - Public Offices & Others - 1893", "page_number": 474, "title": "CO129-261 - Public Offices & Others - 1893", "content_text": "inclusive, auth\n\nyou concur,\n\nIf the money to you, an\n\ninstruct the brown pinion that the\n\n...\n\n!\n\nAgents\n\nlobe\n\nrestricted\n\nto Pay vertenson\n\nthe amount due\n\nI leave it to\n\nyou\n\ndecide whether the\n\nmoney should be paid\n\nto him or retained as a\n\nShave\n\nset off against the facing\n\nG.\n\nDRAFT.\n\nHauson\n\nMr.\n\nMINUTE.\n\nMr. Wilson 25\n\nMr. Lucas 25\n\nMr. Fairfield.\n\nMr. Wingfield.\n\nMr. Bramston.\n\nMr. Meade.\n\nMr. Buxton.\n\nMay 15 1893\n\nI am directed by\n\nthe Marquess of Ripon.\n\ndraft\n\nto ack the receipt\n\nof your letter of the 16th instant tendering\n\nyour resignation from\n\nas Constable\n\nin the Hong Kong Police\n\nForce and to inform\n\nyou that a copy", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-261 - Public Offices & Others - 1893.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 353659, "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": "CO129-262 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1894 [1-4]", "page_number": 49, "title": "CO129-262 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1894 [1-4]", "content_text": "3056\n\n47\n\n2.\n\nبود\n\nYes\n\nChinese adults 10% Malay\n\nasiattes Women\n\nchildren\n\nMorally\n\ndont know\n\nho\n\nBil\n\n4.\n\n6.\n\n7.\n\n8.\n\nDistinction Cannot till.\n\nThysically Socially\n\nYes\n\nYes\n\nEat\n\nchiefly smoke\n\nvery buth\n\nDecoction do\n\nEffects can be distinguished if taken in\n\nforme\n\n>\n\nYes\n\n2\n\nみ\n\nMalays 45 af males 10 af females wo\n\nchildren\n\nSelfish and self sufficient ennuing wear Constitution and a sosial outcast of not\n\nwell\n\n(2) что\n\nlo\n\nalo\n\neto distinction.\n\nSmoke it Never seen the drinking of decoction, Never seen any other shind\n\nof\n\nModeration practised in most cases\n\na limit- according\n\nSmokers following\n\nto purse or live at disposal.\n\nIncorrect to say\n\ndiff\n\nYes\n\n7\n\nMajority of them do become slaves & become\n\nopum solo in afford.

The project for constructing a new dam at Tytam should also be studied. \n\n64. In conclusion, I would point out that in 1893 the minimum water consumption at any time was 93 gallons per head per day. I have no information as to the minimum consumption in 1894, but I venture to believe that the Chinese population received far more water than they ever did prior to 1890. If my memory serves, Mr. Price estimated the water supply which the Chinese population received at about 3 gallons per head per day. On this subject, I would refer you to my report on the Sanitary Condition of Hong Kong dated 18th June, 1882, paragraphs 74 to 84. The state of things therein described remained practically unchanged to 1889. Then the water was only turned on from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m., or for three hours daily, the minimum time in 1893.\n\nI am of opinion that nine and a half gallons of water per day, the minimum given in 1893, should suffice if properly applied for all the essential requirements of life, including flushing well-constructed house drains and sewers. I see that a statement was made by an officer of the Works Department, to the Sanitary Board, that only a very small proportion of the house drains in the infected area had been remodelled, and connected to the new sewers. Practically, therefore, within this area, the sanitary condition of the people is little different from that described in 1881 and 1882; unless, indeed, overcrowding had increased.\n\nI have the honour to be, \n\nGentlemen, \n\nYour obedient Servant, \n\n**OSBERT CHADWICK** \n\n| Office or Individual | Date | \n| --- | --- | \n| C Agents | 1894 28 Sept | \n| Treas. | 3 Oct | \n| como | 16:5 bet | \n\n**Previous Paper** \n\n`Freds 15672` \n`Ac Treas. imf` \n\n**Subsequent Paper** \n\n| No. | \n| --- | \n| 171261729 | \n| 17550 21746 | \n\n## (Subject.) \n\n**Silver Coin $200000 Colony** \n\n10 cent pieces proposes to comply \n\n**(Minutes.)** \n\nM.

I do not understand it has any bearing on the currency question at all. In fact, it cannot have any bearing on that question, for the Mexican dollar will of course pass here merely at its bullion weight. But the Mexican dollar, as the Senator from Colorado [Mr. TELLER] has pointed out, is the recognized dollar of China. The Chinese are a conservative people. Dollars in other forms have not been acceptable there, and the Mexican dollar is.\n\nI do not know whether it is by her influence that the mints of Persia have been closed, but as it is we can see in her own Indian exchanges, in her failure to sell the council bills, the effect of her policy. We can see in the failure of Guatemala to pay her bonds, in the threatened failure of Mexico to meet her interest, what is coming from gold monometallism carried to the extreme to which it is now being carried. It seems to me that if any opportunity offers for us in any direction to attack England, which is the only way we have ever found it possible in the past to come to any agreement with her, either by discriminating duties or by an effort like this to open a wider market to silver, it is clearly in the best interests of the United States to do it.\n\n**Mr. DUBOIS.** Mr. President, I shall not pretend to make any extended remarks. As I am going away from the city and will probably not be here on Monday, I desire simply to record my wish that the resolution may pass. I think it is of much more advantage in every direction than the seigniorage bill or any legislation of that kind.\n\nThe Mexican dollar at this moment, I understand, sells for a small premium in London for the purposes of the China trade. The demand is greater than the supply. Now, if we can make an arrangement by which we can put our silver into the form acceptable in China, we facilitate its export. We also enable ourselves, it seems to me, to make our payments directly through San Francisco in our own commodity, put into this most desirable form, the teas or the silks or whatever else it may be that we import from China.\n\nSo far as I am concerned, I hope that no legislation like the seigniorage bill will be brought before the Senate or the House again. I think the silver advocates should stand squarely for free coinage and accept no intermediate legislation. As it now is, we pay for our China teas very largely by way of London; that is, by the purchase of bills upon London. If we put our silver into these dollars in this convenient form, on which there is to-day a premium, it seems to me, on all chances, indeed on all reasonable expectation, we shall open a method by which we can send our silver directly from San Francisco into China to pay for our imports from that country.\n\nI have not much faith in England agreeing to an international arrangement. We are, I think, unfortunately placed in this country. Almost all of the Republican party, at least the leaders of that party, and a great many Democrats of standing and influence, agree with England in her financial policy, while the whole Democratic party agrees with her in regard to her free-trade propositions. On the one hand, England benefits by our gold standard; on the other hand, she is benefited by the free-trade proclivities of our Democratic friends. She is gaining the advantage, no matter which party is in power in this country. She has been struggling ever since 1816 to put the world on a gold basis. Now that she has succeeded and is reaping the benefits of it, it does not seem to me probable that she will give up this advantage and agree with us as to bimetallism. Therefore, I think we must fight this battle out alone. We must either make an arrangement with the silver-using countries or take a firm stand ourselves in favor of bimetallism.\n\nThis proposition does not at all interfere with our financial laws. It has no effect whatever on our financial system. The Mexican Government, of course, will be responsible for these Mexican dollars. Almost all of our silver mines are closed. I do not see any prospect of their being opened soon, unless through some such arrangement as the one now proposed.\n\nIt does not occur to me that any possible harm can come from it. I do not believe any one financial interest will suffer at all by passing such a measure; and I am rather inclined to think that it would make a market for all of the silver which is produced in the West and restore prosperity in a measure to that part of the country.\n\nBut it seems to me there is another side to this matter which so makes this experiment worth a trial. If we can pay China directly from San Francisco, it will throw into our hands a certain amount of trade that now passes by way of London, leaving there the product. This seems to me an important consideration. However we may differ as to what is our best domestic policy in regard to silver, there is one thing I think all are agreed on, whether they favor immediate free coinage or the effort to restore silver by means of an international agreement, and that is that it is England which is to-day the great enemy of any effort for the restoration of silver to the currency. I do not mean the whole of England, but the bankers and the mighty moneyed interests of London. They are the people who to-day stand across the path of any intelligent movement for the restoration of silver. The people of England are divided among themselves. There is a great cry to-day from all engaged in the Eastern trade, from all the manufacturers of Lancashire, that something should be done for silver.\n\nEngland is held in her present position by the banking and moneyed interests of London, speaking in a broad and general way. She is in great difficulty with her Indian exchanges; she is in great difficulty with her manufactures. She needs relief. No one who has followed the English newspapers or the discussion of the Indian currency question can fail to see that the movement in favor of silver is growing in England all the time. But England is governed in her attitude towards silver solely by her own interests. She is not engaged in maintaining the gold monometallic standard because she is in love with what some persons declare to be an economic truth. She is engaged in maintaining it because her bankers and her capitalists believe it pays. The rest of the world stands either ready or anxious to do something for silver, and the gold monometallic policy of Great Britain now in force among all great civilized nations is, I believe, the great enemy of good business throughout the world.\n\nThe Chinese do not care for bars of silver bullion. They do not like to use it in that form, but they will accept and use the Mexican dollars. Perhaps the reason why they will use the Mexican dollars and will not use our trade dollars is that the Mexican mints are opened to the unlimited coinage of silver. I am rather inclined to think that is the reason why those countries prefer those dollars to our trade dollars or to the French trade dollars.\n\nMr. President, this is all I desire to say, as I see the hour of 2 o'clock has arrived.\n\nNevertheless, wholly apart from the question of free trade or protection involved in the Wilson bill, or from the merits of the bill, it seems to me it is to the American interest, if we can touch English business or English interests in any point, to strike at that point at this moment.\n\nI think the experiment contemplated in this resolution is worth trying. I think we may injure her in that way. But I would go very much further than that. I would strike her on those points where she would feel it most, on her colonial trade. In the interest of silver (I am not speaking now with the slightest reference to protection or free trade) I would strike her with prohibitive duties, if necessary, on her Cape diamonds. I would strike her in the same way on her Assam and Ceylon teas. I would put discriminating duties on her Australian wool. I want, if we can, to force England to take the view of the silver question which we believe is not only for our interest, but for the interest of trade, of good prices, of better wages all over the world.\n\nThere is only one way to deal with England on this question, that is to make her feel it in her pocket. If, on the other hand, we help her by opening to her wider markets, we shall simply confirm her in her present attitude in favor of gold monometallism and against all efforts to widen the use of silver among the nations of the world. She has closed the mints of India.\n\nI am inclined to believe that the Mexican Government would agree to this proposition. They would collect their seigniorage of 4 cents on the 100 cents, and as we could take our silver now to their mints and have it coined, I do not believe they would object to opening our mints to the coinage of their dollars.\n\nLast year, as the Senator from Colorado has said, some `25,000,000` Mexican dollars were used chiefly in the Chinese trade. Some seven or eight million dollars were so used in Singapore and the Strait Settlements. He has no doubt correctly stated that there is not a great deal of silver in China; and with the great mass of people there it is altogether probable. It seems to me that they could use `50,000,000` or `60,000,000` of these Mexican dollars.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-265 - Public Offices & Others - 1894.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 357219, "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": "CO129-267 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [4-6]", "page_number": 76, "title": "CO129-267 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [4-6]", "content_text": "## 74 DESPATCH\n**C.

The chief products of Quelpart are, as he observes, ponies, oxen, hides, edible seaweed, awabé, and medicines, particularly a drug called the \"Nu Pak.\" There is no export except to the Corean mainland, the greater part of the hides going to the shoemakers of Seoul. The natives in winter wear, he notes, not only skin coats and hats, but boots and even stockings of skins. Quelpart also produces oranges, and these and its diminutive ponies form its \"local tribute\" to the King. It is said that the arrival of the first consignment of the golden fruit at Seoul, five centuries ago, created such a stir, that the magnates decided to celebrate the occasion in an eminently characteristic way, and hold a quagga (\"Koa-kê\"), or examination. Ever since that day a quagga has taken place at Seoul on the day of the 11th moon, upon which the tribute oranges reach the city.\n\nWhere export trade is so slack, imports are necessarily few. A native broker consulted by the pressmen stated that of the consignment of kerosene he had imported from Fusan he had in three years sold but a hundred tins or so, despite the fact that there are two or three merchants of standing at the city. The population of Chei-ju is set down at 2,000 families; that of the whole island at some 7,000 or 8,000, but these are only approximations.\n\nWe left Chei-ju at noon, and steered due north for the Ping-yang inlet and Chennampo. We arrived off the Sir James Hall group at nightfall of the 23rd, and lay to for a short time, making the mouth of the Ta-dong about 7:30 A.M. on the 24th. At Oripo, which we passed at some distance, were lying one Japanese steamer and the Japanese commissariat steam-launch I had noticed on my previous visit.\n\nWe dropped anchor at Chennampo at 10 o'clock, where we found a transport, the \"Hinode,\" engaged in taking on board the rails which had formed the tramway between that port and Ping-yang. I learnt that the rails, which are of the ordinary portable pattern, were to be shipped to Formosa, and I observed, when I came to land, that they had been taken up as far south as the barracks in the village. The rest of the line from the wooden jetty to the barracks and the creek-head was still in position, and I hope will, with the embankment on which it rests, be permitted to remain for the common benefit of the coming community.\n\nI happened to mention in the hearing of the ship's local agent that I proposed to go ashore. On this he observed that he feared I should be stopped. I naturally asked, by whom? He replied, by the Japanese sentry at the jetty. I might, however, ask for a permit from the Commandant, Major Kaizu. I could not well do that, I answered, as I did not recognize Major Kaizu's right to interfere with my movements on Corean territory. It would be as well, indeed, if the agent were to see that I was not stopped.\n\nIn the afternoon I went on shore, but was in no way interfered with; though, as some justification of the agent's anxiety, there stood at the jetty-head a sentry box and sentry, with a notice, dated the 20th July last, \"Henceforward, landing is prohibited without the permission of the Garrison Commandant.\" I called on Major Kaizu, of whose courtesy and geniality I had heard much from Mr. Osborne, but to my regret found him too ill to receive me.\n\nAll the commissariat stores I had on my earlier visit observed on the reclaimed ground by the jetty had disappeared, and I learnt that the \"Ilyenik\" was to take away some 12,000 bags of rice and over 1,000 boxes of shrimps, which had been disposed of by auction to private Japanese. The store stacks in the village were also greatly diminished, and the very shops (walls, roofs, and all) of most of the local Japanese traders had disappeared. I was told that all their fellows of Ping-yang had come away, fearing trouble after the withdrawal of the garrison, and that those at Oripo and Chennam would shortly follow.\n\nI took the opportunity to make a more extended observation of the surrounding country than had been possible at my earlier visit. The creek, I noticed, was largely availed of despite its narrowness, and the fact that it runs dry at low water. A sloping stone roadway had been constructed at its head, to which the rails of the tramway still lead. On the hill to the north-east the wooden penthouse between the two old trees and the careful terracing were, the natives told me, the work of the Japanese, who had dubbed the place \"Kyoku Oka\" (Sunrise Mount), and had so ticketed it by means of a great wooden slab. To the north of this hill, running up towards the west, is a valley filled with paddy-fields. Along the dyke that divides these from the mudflats runs the yard-wide high road to Ping-yang, occupied until now by the tramway. Beside the road stand eight well-carved stone pillars commemorating the virtues of departed Prefects and Governors, with the usual four-syllabled couplet, into which the Corean condenses his opinion of his officials, good or bad. Behind and beyond the valley lie a succession of hills and dales, the former covered with what is so seldom seen here, veritable copse and spinney.\n\nThe harvest this year promises to be a fine one, whether of rice or of dry-field cereals. The country, at any rate, in August, is undeniably lovely, and the abundance of trees gives it a more home-like appearance. I returned towards the ship by way of the hill at whose foot stands the jetty. This hill, as I have ventured to suggest in my earlier Report, should be included in the future general foreign Settlement, and it would be advisable, I would submit, to come to some understanding as to the protection, as far as possible, of the trees that form its chief beauty. The extreme southern portion of the ridge, as marked off by a path leading to a Japanese sanatorium on its western slope, might be in the first instance quarried for filling in material, and, finally, made over to the Customs. The first portion of the foreshore to be filled in will no doubt be that lying between the tramway embankment, the main creek, and a minor creek running at right angles into the latter some 300 yards above the jetty. Ultimately, the whole foreshore west of the main creek will be reclaimed.\n\nCargo stowing continued throughout the 24th and 25th, and I had a good opportunity of observing the tides. We lay about 150 yards abreast of the jetty, with two anchors down, and banging to our sides were at one time as many as seven lighters. The ebb was very strong, some 5 knots or more at its worst, and one of our anchors \"came home.\" Both, however, held, and we shipped our cargo. Flood tide was quite another matter. For the whole six hours it seemed slack water, the flood rising from the bottom. During flood, indeed, the anchorage abreast of the jetty is an excellent one; for the ebb an equally good anchorage could be found on the other, the southern, side of the river.\n\nWe left Chennampo at 6 A.M. on the 26th, stopping off Oripo to receive and deliver mails. We were boarded there by a Japanese pratique boat, with a medical military officer in command. He did not, however, that I heard of, claim or exercise any authority in respect to us, though there is no doubt that the Japanese commanderies on the Ta-tong, as at Wênsan and to some extent Fusan, have undertaken the enforcement of Quarantine Regulations. There was no time in any case for me to have visited Oripo, which, as seen from the ship, presented much the same appearance as in June, except that the little harbour was now almost empty. We know, from advertisements in the local papers, that the stores here are being sold off, and it is probable that the extensive wooden sheds will shortly also disappear.\n\nThe \"Hyenik\" arrived at Chemulpo on the morning of the 27th.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW.

I hope I may, in conclusion, be allowed to make a forecast, by trying to penetrate how the future is likely to shape itself if the demand for **100,000l.** is insisted on.\n\nOur revenue is about **4,000,000 dollars**. The minimum required for civil charges at exchange of **2s. 3d.** is over **3,000,000 dollars**, but now that exchange is **2s.**, and with exchange compensations and extras (which will always spring up) about **3,300,000 dollars**. Every decline of silver will add to this amount, leaving the Colony with a balance of maximum **700,000 dollars** for Military Contribution, the unforeseen, or public works, which latter cannot cease for ever.\n\n17. **100,000l.** at today's exchange will mean, without building barracks, **1,000,000 dollars**. Where are the million dollars to come from? The finances of the Colony are now, that is certain, approaching a crisis. There are no more reserves to draw from and the Budget does not balance. Money would have to be found by loan annually. Would Her Majesty's Government use the machinery of the official vote to force the Colony into such loans? It is almost useless to ask that question, because the moment it becomes known amongst investors as a certainty that the Colony would be forced to pay **100,000l.** annually, the Colony would not be able to borrow. Investors would not take long to see that in a short time the Colony must stand in bankruptcy. The Colony would have no credit. The idea of making the Colony pay through raising loans would, therefore, have to be abandoned.\n\n18. To raise the rate of exchange is beyond the power of Her Majesty's Government, and Lord Ripon has vetoed, in his despatch of **27th October**, the aspirations of the Colony to a fixed currency, so that this issue, which was opened to India under less distress, is likewise closed to the Colony through the action of the Liberal Government.\n\n39\n\n19. Can the civil charges be further reduced? The recommendations of the Retrenchment Committee, it is considered, have already gone too far in that direction.\n\nIt is hardly possible to go further, unless it is to weaken efficiency, ultimately leading to a decline in revenue, thus increased inability to pay.\n\nOn the contrary, the demands of the subaltern service, as far as they are just, for increase of salaries in lieu of exchange compensation have to be taken into consideration. The civil charges will, therefore, have to be further increased in the near future.\n\n20. There remains increased taxation. Fresh taxation also could only be had, if contemplated to any extent, by forcing it through Council by the official vote. That would lead to the greatest dissatisfaction and, almost for certain, to great trouble. The revenue we have now rests on free trade, and the lower the taxation the more that trade will prosper, and the more our revenue will expand. Heavy taxation would lead to the collapse of the Colony, the cessation of all revenue, and in the end the Colony would not be able to contribute anything at all. The whole of the military charges would then fall on the British taxpayer. It should not be lost sight of that the revenue raised in the Straits is already now about **14 rupees per head** as against **3 rupees per head** in India. Further taxation of any consequence would be suicidal in any respect.\n\n21. \"Assuming that the conditions remain normal,\" it seems, therefore, that the Colony cannot in the future meet the demand even of **100,000l.**.\n\nThe results, it seems, as far as hard cash is concerned will be the same whether an equitable basis is fixed, thereby closing the question, or whether the demand is insisted on.\n\nThe only difference seems to be this:---\n\n22. If the percentage system or other practicable basis is allowed to the Colony by Her Majesty's Government, content will return, and the Colony will settle down again to steadiness and harmonious working. Being able to gauge the amounts available for civil purposes, the Colony will by a wise and cautious husbanding of the same be able to proceed in the path of progress, thereby paving the way for the possibility of the future contribution being even larger than the amount now demanded.\n\n23. If on the other hand the demand of **100,000l.**, and more is persisted in, it will remain hanging over our heads and will create a feeling of hopelessness, paralysing all energies.\n\nNobody will believe any more in the future of the Colony. Agitators will follow in the wake of the present protesters, with what results it is impossible to say.\n\nThe finances of the Colony will be crippled through the very uncertainty of the position. The credit of the Colony will be gone. Goods of foreign manufacture, distributed by competing Colonies, favoured by our mistakes and self-made handicap, will be supplied to neighbouring countries. The downward course will commence to the detriment of the Colony, of the British taxpayer, and of British trade.\n\nSINGAPORE,\n14th January, 1895.\n\nA. HÜTTENBACH,\nMember Legislative Council,\nStraits Settlements.\n\n## THE MILITARY CONTRIBUTION\n\nA great Public Meeting approves the Action of those who have resigned as a Protest against the continued Exaction.\n\nA public meeting was held yesterday afternoon in the Town Hall of Singapore under the auspices of the Straits Settlements Association, to approve the action taken by members of the Legislative Council, Justices of the Peace, and members of the Chinese Advisory Board, in resigning their offices as a protest against the decision of Her Majesty's Government in regard to the amount of the Military Contribution demanded from the Colony. The meeting was open to all; all of the polyglot community of Singapore was invited to attend. As anticipated, there was an exceedingly large attendance, fully representative of all classes; and, in point of numbers, the attendance probably excelled that of the meeting of 1891, called to protest against the same demand. Unfortunately the rain was pouring heavily throughout the whole afternoon, and at the time of meeting. But that circumstance did not tend to keep away many, because the hall was packed in every available part—a significant instance that the whole community were desirous of showing their approval of the action taken, and an evidence of their desire by their presence to protest against the unfair treatment which the Colony is receiving at the hands of Her Majesty's Government.\n\nAmongst those present were: Messrs. T. Shelford, T. C. Bogaardt, and Seah Liang Seah, ex-M.L.C's., who have resigned in consequence of the Military Contribution; Messrs. W. Nanson, Stringer, John Anderson, James Millar, Burkinshaw, \n\n## Page 523", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-269 - Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1895 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 359422, "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": "CO129-270 - Public Offices & Others - 1895", "page_number": 193, "title": "CO129-270 - Public Offices & Others - 1895", "content_text": "or equivalent to £3, for there were others they \nduty this would amount to £9 extent \n\nJay This \n\nat.

It is computed that fully fifteen thousand spectators witnessed the unveiling ceremony. The military, to the number of considerably over two thousand, were placed in position to receive His Excellency, the colours of the Hong Kong Regiment being placed at the entrance to the passage down the ranks at Wardley Street.\n\nAs far as the contour of the ground would allow, the troops were drawn up in line formation (open order), commencing on the right with the Royal Navy; then followed the Royal Marines, Royal Artillery, Hong Kong Artillery (Asiatic Companies), Royal Engineers, including Chinese Company, Hong Kong Regiment, and the Rifle Brigade. The Field Battery of the Hong Kong Volunteer Corps and a Battery of Asiatic Artillery were accommodated on the Cricket Ground, and the Hong Kong Maxim Gun Company and the Maxim guns of the Rifle Brigade and the Hong Kong Regiment were drawn up near the Praya Reclamation Office.\n\nRepresentatives from every Regiment in the Colony were arranged with very pretty effect at the base of the statue.\n\nA few minutes before 6.30 the blast of a bugle announced the arrival of H.E. the Governor. The Governor, accompanied by Captain Sterling, A.D.C., and his native Aide-de-camp,—preceded by Captain A.P. Weiman, A.S.C., who acted as orderly officer—walked through the ranks, the whole of the troops shouldering arms. The troops were in command of Colonel Anstey, Commanding Royal Engineers, in the absence of Major-General Black. When His Excellency reached the Grand Stand, the Royal Standard was unfurled on the flag post at the Grand Stand. His Excellency was received by the Hon. C.P. Chater, as Chairman of the Jubilee Committee, and was escorted to the platform in front of the statue by the Hon. J.H. Stewart Lockhart, Colonial Secretary (Hon. Secretary to the Committee), Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hoa, T.H. Whitehead, Hon. E.R. Belilios, Commodore Boyes, R.N., Mr. F.R. Waymouth, R.N., Mr. T. Jackson, Mr. A.P. MacEwen, Mr. J.J. Francis, Q.C., Mr. H.N. Mody, &c., &c. Upon arrival at the platform, Mr. Chater called upon His Excellency to unveil the statue, the spectators on the Grand Stand standing with uncovered heads whilst the speeches, unfortunately inaudible beyond a small circle, were being delivered.\n\nThe Hon. C.P. Chater said: Your Excellency: As Chairman of the Jubilee Committee, and on behalf of the Community of the Colony, I have the great honour of asking you to meet us to-day for the purpose of unveiling the Statue of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. I need not enlarge upon the interest, the fervent and loyal interest, which the residents of this Island take in this ceremonial. I need not state that we are met together to discharge a most unusual and exceptional function. I need hardly remind you, sir, that the event which has given birth to these proceedings is one which, only a few years ago, stirred to the depths the hearts of the British race in every quarter of the world, for was not that great the Jubilee of Our Most Gracious Sovereign? If any proof were needed of the feeling which dominates us at this moment, I would ask you to look at this concourse of Her Majesty's subjects, gathered here to offer their loyal and respectful homage to the Throne. I would ask you to look at the Representatives of the other Powers, who, with fellow-subjects of theirs, who are resident here, have come to do honour to this auspicious event.\n\nYour Excellency, as we all know, Her Majesty's Jubilee occurred in the year 1887, and it will perhaps be not unfitting if I mention the reason why this Statue has not been erected before. It was not because Hong Kong was one whit behind other British Colonies in wishing to prove its dutiful regard for Her who reigns over us; it was not because we did not desire to have in our midst a Memento of the Ruler to whom we owe allegiance. No, Sir. It was because we recognised that such a Statue as this should be placed in an appropriate and conspicuous spot, a spot worthy, if that could be so, by its very position to do honour to the occasion, and until this great work, this reclamation on which we are now standing, was practically finished, we had no such place to offer. Under your Government, this portion of the reclamation has now been happily accomplished, and here in this commanding position, in the best part of this City, named after our Queen, we feel that our Statue could find, in all this Island, no more ennobling site.\n\nSir, with the exception of Newfoundland, which was occupied about 1500, it was not until the early part of the 17th century that Great Britain first began to colonise in earnest. Thenceforward, however, down to the present time, Colony after Colony was acquired, changed by the test existing to-day, her earlier acquisitions were, in the nature of things, comparatively unimportant; but England's Colonies have strengthened with England's strength, and grown with her commercial prosperity and power, until, one Possession after another emerging from its incipient doubts and difficulties, they have gained their present status, and culminated in forging the magnificent chain, which, starting from the Mother Country, now girdles the earth with British soil. Of this chain Hong Kong forms one of the links, a strong and a lasting one, we may be permitted to hope, and to those assembled here, and to you, Sir, as their Governor, it cannot but be interesting to remember that, after Her Majesty's accession to the Throne, this was the first Colony that Great Britain acquired.\n\nYour Excellency, it is not possible to predict from the shadows which the future is casting before what Hong Kong will yet develop into. It is not possible to surmise with any accuracy the part which will ultimately be allotted to her to play in the international theatre of the world. These questions lie in the womb of the future, and the future alone can answer them; but that she is destined to be always an important factor in both Imperial and local concerns, I for one have no doubt whatever. Such is her natural position, lying, as she does, on the fringe of the adjacent Empire; such is her mercantile value, being, as she is, the Eastern gate through which must pass the commerce of the West, that it is hardly too much to believe that she must of necessity always constitute an element to be carefully and fully weighed.\n\nGreat and important movements have lately taken place in the Far East, possibly greater and more important changes yet are even now in contemplation which will enforce the gravest attention of Diplomacy, and Her Majesty's Government, in its decision upon those events, in its determination of the path to pursue, can hardly omit Hong Kong from its serious consideration. In saying this, I do not forget that her place in the Colonies of the Crown, if won in some part by her own vigour, is largely due to her standing in line with those other Colonies which together constitute the Brotherhood known to-day as Greater Britain.\n\nSir, in the evolution of time, generation will succeed generation in Hong Kong, new firms will arise, new projects will be formed; new personalities will seek to advance the Colony's influence and promote her enterprise, long after names, familiar enough now, have vanished into ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-272 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [5-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 360696, "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": "CO129-272 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [5-9]", "page_number": 187, "title": "CO129-272 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [5-9]", "content_text": "C. 183 has been sent to Line by the Office.\n\nWe venture to suggest to you that it should be left to get the War Office to be good enough to send the condition as that the work will be finished in place you.\n\nIt is a great disadvantage.

It is a matter which touches national and domestic life at its very quick. The example of France in regard to these matters is sometimes quoted as if it were one which encouraged us to follow on the path which has been pursued in that country for nearly 100 years. To my mind the example of France is one which should serve for warning rather than for encouragement. If we look at modern French art, whether the drama, fiction, or painting, we cannot but observe a tone of what Matthew Arnold called \"lubricity\" in it, that makes French art, notwithstanding its high technical merits, too often degrading rather than elevating in its general influence.\n\nAlarmist statements are made by the advocates of the legislation which we are opposing in regard to the evil influence of venereal disease on the general health of the population. It is no doubt perfectly true that the disease in question is a fruitful source of many other physical ills, and many maladies are now attributed to its influence which at one time were looked upon as entirely dissociated with it. But if the C. D. Acts were an effective means of coping with it, France, which has had the system not merely for military centres, but throughout the whole population for nearly 100 years, ought to compare favourably with England, which during the same period had the system in force in a few limited areas only for about eighteen or twenty years. But we know that the reverse is the case. The death rate in France varies about a mean of nearly 24 per 1,000; the death rate in England in 1894 (the lowest yet recorded) was only 16.6 per 1,000, and the mean over a series of ten years is much lower than the death rate of France. With regard to the birth rate, the English statistics again compare favourably with those of France: in England the birth-rate varies about a mean of 29 or 30 per 1,000. In France it is only a little over 22 per 1,000; and is thus actually lower than the death rate; so that the population of France is declining, except for immigration. And yet the advocates of legislation on the lines of the C. D. Acts never tire of extolling for our emulation the example of France!\n\n23\n\nA mistake that is sometimes made is to mix up two things that are entirely distinct: control of the streets and the C. D. Acts. The first of these two has nothing whatever to do with the second. I would heartily support any well thought out plan of dealing with the outrage on decency presented by Piccadilly in the late hours of the evening and small hours of the morning. I believe that the powers possessed and exercised by the University authorities for the control of the streets are absolutely necessary, and that they are beneficial in their influence. To punish vice by harrying the vicious of both sexes is the principle of the provisions for maintaining order in the streets.\n\nTo render provisions for maintaining order in the streets safe for vicious men by compulsory examination and detention of vicious women is the principle of the C. D. Acts.\n\nIn some of its aspects this is particularly a woman's question because of its influence on character and through character on the home. I therefore make no apology for bringing it before the General Committee of this Association. But from another and a truer point of view it is not a woman's question, but a national question; to go right in these matters is of the most vital national importance. To go right means that men should be true men, and women true women; and though of course there will always be some lapses and failures, do not let us throw ourselves on the side of those who believe that prostitution is necessary, and that it is impossible for the British soldier to be anything but a brute. We know that he is capable of magnificent physical courage, and this encourages us to\n\n145", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 363332, "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": "CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8]", "page_number": 169, "title": "CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8]", "content_text": "Governor.\n\nNo.\n\n14.\n\n1897\n\nJuly\n\nPrevious Paper.\n\nHong Kong\n\nNo. 17229\n\n(Subject.)\n\nLand at Kowloon\n\n7662\n\nPut ...\n\n1100-749-1906-11-98\n\nSubsequent Paper.\n\nDESPATCH.\n\n17229\n\nRECEIVED\n\n168\n\nREGP 7 AUG 97\n\n...\n\nadmit\n\nMr Perry's claim for\n\ncompensation\n\n(Minutes.)\n\nIn Lucas\n\nI do not see\n\n...\n\nperous the water put ...\n\nPuth.\n\nthan\n\nprocess in writing again this Perry.\n\nCP£9\n\nat once\n\n9/8", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 363382, "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": "CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8]", "page_number": 219, "title": "CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8]", "content_text": "8.8 % 9.\n\n10\n\n8. 11 to 18.\n\n17.\n\n18.\n\nMars. 19 to 22.\n\n213\n\nThe welfare of the Garrison of Hong Kong should be dearer to Englishmen than that of the inhabitants of Saigon, Tokyo, Manila and Canton.\n\nHouses are constantly changing hands at the Peak and this, more than anything else, tends to its development; the soldiers also want a cooler air and they would have been deprived of it if the gentlemen and ladies who now sign the Petition had bestirred themselves to acquire it during the two years in which this Hotel has been for sale.\n\nThe ordinary members of the Civil community have never lived at the Peak and have not the means of affording themselves this pleasant change.\n\nThe drainage of the Mount Austin Hotel is carried down the Northern slope to the harbour: the hills and valleys are now open to the troops to roam about.

The force of the wind is also different according to the dimension of the typhoon. On average, within 35 miles of the centre, the wind has force 12, at 50 miles force 11, at 75 miles force 10, at 100 miles force 9, at 125 miles force 8, at 145 miles force 7, at 180 miles force 6, at 220 miles force 5, and at 250 miles; but it blows force 6 at 300 miles from the centre.\n\nThe angle depends also upon the distance from the centre. At 25 miles it is 10 points (very uncertain), at 75 miles it is 11 points, at 125 miles it is 11¼ points, at 150 miles it is 11¾ points, at 200 miles it is 12 points. At distances greater than 300 miles, the centre bears perhaps about 15 points (very uncertain).\n\nWithin from 2 to 15 miles of the centre, the wind calms down, or nearly so, and the sky usually clears overhead, more or less, at sea (or over an island), being now covered there by only very thin clouds or haze, through which the sun or the brighter stars are visible. The sea is often seen to boil, like a cauldron. Its surface has been whipped into foam, and a lot of air has been caught by the waves. These rules fail, however, near some shores if the centre is not very close.\n\nThus there often blows a steady E gale along the S coast of China when a typhoon is crossing the China Sea. The typhoon blows into the China Sea through the Balingtang Channel and blows along the $ coast of China. If the centre is passing to the southward at a distance of several hundred miles, this reminds one of the N monsoon, but now it blows harder the lower the pressure falls, while in the NE monsoon it blows harder the higher the pressure rises.\n\nIt has been found that the calm followed some 20 miles after the lowest barometer reading, but such is not always the case, and the reverse has been suspected on more than one occasion. Very deceitful lulls occur during the raging of a typhoon. They last sometimes long enough to be mistaken for the central calm, but when the wind rises again it comes from nearly the same direction.\n\nThe diameter of the central calm in a low latitude in summer is about 4 miles, and the sea is mountainous from all directions, but farther north or late in the year the diameter reaches sometimes from 40 to 50 miles, and the sea then often goes down together with the wind. As far as Hongkong is concerned, the following table gives the details.\n\n| Wind at the Observatory | Wind at the Peak | Clouds | Centre |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| E by N | E | NE | S |\n| NNE | ΝΕ | N | SE |\n| NW by N | N | | N |\n| W by N | | E | E |\n| SW by W | NW by W (?) | NW by W | NW by W |\n| S by W | NE | W by S | WSYW |\n| SE by S | W by S | WSW | N |\n| ESE | SW by S | SW by S | SW by S |\n| W | NW | S by E | S |\n| | S | W | SE by S |\n| | SE | SE | SW |\n| | | N | N |\n\nWhen the wind rises in a typhoon it blows in gusts and the mercury heaves in the barometer. When the wind has reached force 11 it blows in fierce squalls of sometimes about 10 minutes' duration, while the mercury heaves up and down as much as a tenth of an inch. The mercury gives a jump upwards as the wind begins to veer in a squall. Then it drops down and gives another upward jump as the wind comes back to nearly its old direction.\n\nThe wind does not return to quite the former direction, except just in front of the centre. At times when the centre is nearest, a fierce squall is usually felt, and in that squall the direction of wind changes considerably, and the barometer begins to rise.\n\nAs the air comes rushing down the rain drops evaporate in the hotter stratum near the earth's surface, and owing to the increased tension of water-vapour, the barometer (after a fall caused by the cold of evaporation) begins to rise. The wind veers towards the direction of the wind above, which latter is known from the motion of the clouds.\n\nIt is a fact that more damage to vessels is caused by the fearful seas than by the wind. Fortunately, masters of ships are now making use of oil to calm the waves, a remedy which has been used with good effect for the last three thousand years. Thick oil is best—mineral oil is of no use—and it should be allowed to ooze out of canvas bags half full of cotton waste and slung from the weather bow, or it may be left to ooze out of other openings, such as water-closets.\n\nOn shore, perhaps as much damage is caused by rain as by wind; but, of course, the former gives impetus to the latter. The wind blowing from all sides into the centre raises the level of the sea there, and the sea-surface is also raised about a foot for every inch the barometer falls below its height outside of the typhoon.\n\nThe incurvature of the wind in a typhoon depends upon the monsoon. In May, June, July, August the angle between the wind (direction whence coming) and the bearing of the centre is 10 points in front of the centre, 10 points in the right-hand quadrant, 12 points behind the centre, 11¼ points in the left-hand quadrant. During September, October, and November it is 11 points in front, 11 to the right, 12 in rear, and 11 points to the left.\n\nThis shows that the monsoon blows towards the centre and combines with the cyclonic winds. It will be remarked that the wind blows across the path in front and helps a vessel to run across the path in front of the centre, keeping straight. In rear, the wind blows more strongly towards the centre.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 366007, "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": "CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3]", "page_number": 342, "title": "CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3]", "content_text": "## \nVery low clouds in a typhoon move with the wind, but if the clouds are higher they move against it, especially if the typhoons that recurve in the China Sea are not taken into account.\n\nA vessel having the centre in front and to either side, but more in towards the centre in rear, experienced a typhoon. A heavy nimbus is not likely to fall in with it again after it has recurved, but it happens to cause heavy squalls, veering or backing regularly; and to windward it has the opposite effect on vessels in the Pacific, especially to such as have suffered damage and been carried all round the centre. The cause of this is obvious when they first met the typhoon.\n\n0.08 to 10, 0.09, 0.10 and 0.11 to 11, 0.12 and above this to 12.\n\n## \n336\n\nThe wind blows from a region where the air pressure is higher towards one where it is lower. Typhoons cease to exist, except as minor depressions, as soon as the centre enters the mainland. It is, however, deflected towards the right in the northern hemisphere. The force of the wind depends upon the difference of pressure between one place and another situated in the direction where the barometric slope or gradient is greatest. The gradient is measured in hundredths of an inch per nautical miles. The force of the wind corresponding to a certain gradient is greater the hotter it is, and is different in a typhoon from what it is in the trade, owing to the path of the air particles.\n\nThe centres of different typhoons often enter the coast in the same place: where it is low, as for instance, the Lien-chau peninsula; near Hailingshan; the Canton river, etc. The typhoons originate storms in hot and damp places near sea-level and over the sea. The steepest gradient usually occurs in the Philippines or crossing Formosa moving from S towards N.\n\nOn the contrary, open channels such as the Balingtang Channel, the Formosa and Korea Channels, have much greater effect on the path. The typhoons are almost logarithmic spirals, but somewhat different from such curves. A gradient of 0.01 corresponds to force 4, 0.02 to 6, 0.03 to 7, 0.04 to 8, 0.05 to 9, 0.06 to 9½, 0.07 to 10, 0.08 to 10, 0.09, 0.10 and 0.11 to 11, 0.12 and above this to 12. It has already been remarked that the progression of a typhoon is the effect of the wind prevailing at the time at or near the earth's surface. Now, the wind rushes with such force through open channels, with high mountains on both sides, as to deflect the typhoons and accelerate their speed. Such velocities are not common at an altitude of 2,000 feet in severe typhoons. Anything above 80 miles per hour is called a typhoon. It is seen that there is as great a difference between the force of one typhoon and another as between a calm and a storm which nearly reaches typhoon force.\n\nWhen a typhoon is blowing it is of great importance to have a house well shut-up. Windows and doors should be firmly locked, bolted and barred. Damage is frequently caused by shutters being out of repair. Once the wind enters a broken window, it begins to blow through and its force is quickly felt. As long as all apertures are thoroughly shut on both sides a fearful howling or whistling is heard, the rain blows in through the smallest openings and the house may shake, but damage is seldom done. Should a fierce squall get the chance to blow into a house, the roof is often the first part to give way. It is believed that pressure falls so quickly outside that the air confined in the house bursts through the roof like an explosion, but there is no foundation for that belief; it is more likely that a fierce squall would break through the windows and doors and through the roofs as well. But if any fear is entertained of the air being confined inside, it is merely necessary to leave the chimneys open so that pressure inside will be nearly the same as on the outside.\n\nIn many typhoons the barometer, reduced to the temperature of freezing water and to sea-level, does not fall below 28.80 inches. In others it falls as low as 28.50. Lower readings are rare, but sometimes it falls much lower.\n\nMost often...\n\nNo typhoon ever stands still. As soon as it is formed, it is carried forward by the prevailing wind. That is why the isobars are elongated, except near the centre where the force of the prevailing wind is of no account. The isobars could be circular only in a stationary typhoon. This is also why typhoons move so as to keep the areas of high barometer on their right, and so as to recede from areas where the barometer is high, and so as to approach low-pressure areas. Typhoons that originate in the Pacific to the East of the Philippines or Formosa move Westward first, then NW, then N, then they recurve to the NE, and beyond Japan they move Eastward. This is under the influence of the high-pressure area in the Northern Pacific, which they rotate around in the same direction as the hands of a watch. When there are two typhoons about at the same time, they rotate round each other in the opposite direction, that is, abstracting from the influence of high-pressure areas, which may cause them to move somewhat differently from this simple rule.\n\nIn the China Sea there is sometimes a low-pressure channel between high pressures in China and in the Southern part of the China Sea. A typhoon in the Pacific at such times is attracted towards the China Sea and passes along the low-pressure channel, because the winds blowing to either side of the channel agree with the winds round the centre of a typhoon, and they move according to the principle of least action. During the typhoon season typhoons follow each other quickly, and there are several at one time raging in different parts of the Far East. Then they cease, and there are maybe none for several weeks; but during the height of the season in August and September that is unusual.\n\nAs explained above, the paths of typhoons in the Pacific look often like parabolas, but those in the China Sea are quite different and the difference must be due to the distribution of land and sea. The latter do not as a rule recurve, i.e., move North-eastward after having moved North-westwards or Northward. Some of them, in fact, disappear in the China Sea after turning to the SW. They recurve between 20 deg. N and 40 deg. N, and between 115 deg. E and 180 deg. E. Dog lighthouse at the Northern entrance to the Formosa Channel is the centre of the region of recurvature.\n\n### \n* Curved lines drawn on a map through places from which the same height (corrected and reduced) of the barometer is reported, between those that report a slightly higher and lower pressure are called isobars. The gradient lies at a right-angle to the isobar. Isobars are one of the most important elements for forecasting the weather. The curvature of isobars indicates the existence of depressions beyond the area where the telegraphic reporting stations are situated, but it is of course impossible to lay down the centre accurately from such data. On land and sea its position and motion can only be guessed at, not known with certainty.\n\n| N | E | Barometer Reading |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 5 | 10 | 29.50 |\n| 6 | 10 | 29.40 |\n| 5 | 9 | 29.59 |\n| ... | ... | 29.30 |\n\n## Typhoon in the Formosa Channel\n1884 August 21-22.\n\n10 \n10", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 366008, "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": "CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3]", "page_number": 343, "title": "CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3]", "content_text": "# § 2.-HOW TO MANAGE YOUR SHIP IN A TYPHOON.\n\nLong before the nature of hurricanes was understood it had been remarked by mariners that it was safer to heave to in a storm than to run, but the reason for that was not apparent. When the law of storms was first discovered it did not all at once mend matters, for, according to the old eight-point rule, all you had to do when a typhoon approached was to run with the wind on the starboard beam under as much canvas as your ship could carry, except when on the path right in front and the centre moved quicker than the vessel. That should have taken you out of the neighbourhood of bad weather, but it did not always do so, and since typhoons have been investigated, we know that the wind never blows round the centre in a circle, and that the eight-point rule, laid down by Redfield, Reid, Thom, and Piddington, is very far from the truth. It is just as much out as Espy's rule, according to which the wind blows always straight towards the centre. According to the twelve-point rule, which I have proved to obtain in typhoons (see \"Observations and Researches made at the Hongkong Observatory in 1883\") you must still run on the starboard tack, but you must keep the wind only four points from the stem. It is possible to keep a vessel going ahead under square sails nearer than about six points to the wind. A steamer can do so easily enough, but a sailing vessel cannot within two points run straight away from the centre and her risk is much greater than it would be if the old rule had proved true. The twelve-point rule may be stated as follows:- Stand with your back to the wind and you will have the centre on your left and about four points in front of your left-hand. It appears that a ten-point rule obtains in about 30 degrees latitude and a sailing vessel can then just manage to steer, fall and by, a course that will take her straight away from the centre; but in a tropical hurricane we see that the danger is much greater even if the force of the wind were not stronger.\n\nThe force of the wind and the appearance of the weather do not furnish a trustworthy guide to determine the distance of the centre of a typhoon. The dimensions are different in almost all typhoons and near land the strong winds are often so irregularly distributed that in a place near the centre less wind may actually be experienced than at some distance farther away from it. In such cases the approach of the centre is judged of by the fall of the mercury in the barometer. But on the high sea the increase or decrease in the strength of the squalls, and the state of the weather and sea, enable the approach of the centre to be known, and this, together with its direction which is known from the direction of the wind and perhaps also from the clouds, enables the master of a vessel at sea to lay down the path of the typhoon, with reference to his vessel, with more or less accuracy.\n\nThe average rate of progress of the centre of a typhoon in 11 deg. latitude is 5 miles an hour. In 13 deg. it is 6½. In 15 deg. it is 8. In 20 deg. it is 9. In 25 it is 11. In 30 deg. it is 14. In 32¼ it is 17 miles an hour. South of 13 deg. the speed does not vary perceptibly, so it is likely to be increasing or decreasing in violence and the barometric depression getting steeper or filling up. To the eastward of the Philippines and near their western shores the former is likely to take place, while the latter would probably happen near the western shores of the China Sea. The great difficulty is, that the typhoon may be increasing or decreasing in violence and the barometric depression getting steeper or filling up. In 32¼ deg. N latitude the rate of progress varies from 6 to 36 miles an hour, so that you cannot be sure that a typhoon encountered there will move at anything like the average rate of speed. We have not traced the centre of a typhoon nearer the Equator than about 9 deg. N. But a very slightly falling barometer, a squally SW wind, a less sea, and some swell, may at times be traced nearly all the way down to the Equator.\n\nOnce the bearing of the centre has been ascertained from the direction of the wind, you require to know in which semi-circle your vessel is situated if in the right-hand semi-circle the wind will veer, i.e., shift with the sun, and in the left-hand semi-circle it will back, i.e., shift in the opposite direction. But this rule fails if your vessel is moving with the typhoon and quicker than the centre moving. Then the rule may be reversed. Masters of vessels are therefore advised to heave to early and observe how the barometer behaves and how the wind changes; but it is so dangerous to lose time in a storm that carries you into the centre, that this should not be done except when absolutely necessary. It also causes the wind to blow more level with the path in front of the centre and to blow more across the path in the rear. It also makes the weather heavier after the centre is past than before. You may happen to be right in front of the centre and lose your chance of getting out of its track.\n\nHere it is that a knowledge of the paths of past typhoons such as have been usually published from this Observatory during the past fourteen years, becomes so useful. That will enable you to know at once in which semi-circle your vessel is situated, e.g., with NE wind in the Sea you are pretty certain to be in the right-hand semi-circle. The wind shifts faster the nearer the centre you are, but the direction of the sea does not change so fast as the wind. If the typhoon overtakes your vessel, the wind bursts again from the opposite quarter, and with perhaps greater violence than before, that is, when the centre is past. Very deceitful lulls occur during the raging of a typhoon and last sometimes long enough to be mistaken for the central calm, but in such a case the wind bursts again from about the same direction as before.\n\nAt a still higher level the air, which has been carried in towards the centre and raised every area where it is raining, blows away from the centre, and as the friction of air against air under pressure is insignificant, it sometimes rushes away with such speed as to cause the upper current to act upon the rate at which the latter is travelling. You cannot therefore safely draw conclusions concerning the amount of wind to be expected from the rate at which the barometer is falling, but to some extent that may be done. Remember that at sea when the barometer has fallen to the lowest and is beginning to rise again, you may expect as much, if not more, bad weather than you have already gone through although it will be, on the whole, improving.\n\nTyphoons originating in the Pacific in a low latitude (say 13 deg. N) are very small and the isobars are nearly circular, as the centre moves very slowly, and the incurvature is 45° in all directions; but there is this important difference between a typhoon and a tornado - that the latter is taller than it is broad, whereas the former forms a flat disc. As typhoons reach a higher latitude their dimensions become greater, the violence of the wind increases and then nothing distinguishes them from storms originating in northern latitudes. This makes it unlikely that the latter originate from causes at all different from those which give rise to a typhoon.\n\nThe right-hand semi-circle is called the dangerous semi-circle; there you are carried not only towards the centre, but also towards the path in front of the centre; besides, the force of the wind is greatest in the same direction as it veers with the progress of the typhoon. Here you must make up your mind at...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 366009, "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": "CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3]", "page_number": 344, "title": "CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3]", "content_text": "## Navigating Typhoons\n\nWhen navigating through typhoons, the course of action depends on the type of vessel and its position relative to the typhoon's center. For a sailing vessel, if you are within a point or two of the path of the center, it is generally impossible to know in which semi-circle you are.\n\n### Actions for Sailing Vessels\n\nEither heave to on the starboard tack (if there is no chance of the center approaching too near), or run with the wind on the starboard quarter, three points from the stern. If you are in the front quadrant of the dangerous semi-circle, you can carry sails till they blow away to steady the ship. A sailer usually behaves better when running across the path in front of the center into the left-hand semi-circle.\n\n### Characteristics of Typhoons\n\nThe left-hand semi-circle is called the manageable or navigable semi-circle. Here, you are carried more or less parallel to the path of the center, but at the same time, the wind carries you towards the path. The most dangerous typhoons have been encountered in the Pacific in a low latitude, say 12° or 14° N, and longitude 130° or 140° E. They move WNW-ward, and you are safest to the SE-ward of them.\n\n### Signs of an Approaching Typhoon\n\nIf after leaving Singapore bound for Hongkong in the SW monsoon, you find that the barometer falls more than it ought to, the monsoon begins to freshen in squalls, and you notice a cross swell, a lumpy sea, and other signs of a typhoon, then you ought to shape your course to the south-eastward, so as to sail round the centre and benefit by the favourable SE wind behind the centre.\n\n### Navigating Through Typhoons\n\nWhen running to the southward across the path of a typhoon moving westward, you will likely be to the eastward of your dead reckoning from the effect of uncompensated heeling error. If bound for Yokohama, you may afterwards shape a northern course along the east coast of Formosa, where the Kuro Siwo current occasionally sets fast towards the NE.\n\n### Precautions for Steamers\n\nShips between Foochow and Ningpo are liable to experience the NW gales that precede a typhoon traveling westward and about to strike the coast in that neighbourhood. If you do not like to expose your vessel to the high confused seas round northern Formosa, you should run into shelter early and wait there till the barometer rises and the weather improves.\n\n### Adjusting for Magnetic Deviation\n\nWhen on the magnetic equator, where there is no vertical force, you should always adjust your permanent magnets by acting as a short horizontal soft iron bar. Between Shanghai and Japan, you are liable to fall in with a typhoon traveling in a direction between WNW, N, and E. You are therefore safest to the S of the centre, but that may be in the dangerous semi-circle.\n\n### Heaving To\n\nWhen hove to on the proper tack, you should, if you are on board a steamer, keep the engines going ahead dead slow and use oil to calm the sea and prevent it from breaking on board. A steamer with insufficient engine power may resort to a home-made deep-sea anchor.\n\n### Loading and Stability\n\nMuch has been said against overloading, as many vessels have been lost for lack of ballast or from shifting ballast, as from being overloaded. A heavy roller might possibly even be safer than a vessel that keeps very steady from having its center of gravity high up near the metacentre and consequently little stability.\n\n### Anchoring in Typhoons\n\nWhen at anchor in an open anchorage or near a lee shore, such as in Formosa, you must be ready to run to sea at very short notice. When you then experience a N gale and a falling barometer, by far the surest signs of an approaching typhoon, and appearances quickly get worse, you must run to the inner harbour of Takow.\n\n### Behavior of Vessels in Typhoons\n\nA vessel with a hurriedly prepared hawser may pay out a long hawser to check her way, but still, it is not known how high waves rise in a cross sea near the centre of a typhoon. Waves on the open sea do not exceed thirty feet in height, measured from trough to crest. A sailing vessel may, when drifting before the wind, pay out a long hawser to check her way, but it would be dangerous to try that on board most screw-propelled steamers.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 366361, "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": "CO129-282 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [3-4]", "page_number": 217, "title": "CO129-282 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [3-4]", "content_text": "# Most important.

Although, considering the great returns to small capital and primitive appliances, large capital and scientific engineering should give greater results, he thinks that the want of easy access to markets and the risk that companies will be unable to secure honest returns upon their capital must handicap effective enterprise. \n\nThere can be no doubt that the mineral resources of Yunnan are considerable, but there is little immediate prospect that Yunnan will become rich and prosperous on account of its mineral resources. The Chinese themselves, quite apart from the obstructive Government policy which represses mining throughout China, have not the capital, the knowledge, or the energy required to develop their mines, and the commoner metals will not repay long transportation by land. But the exorbitant fiscal demands alone are sufficient to retard development. \n\nIf it is impossible to prophesy fair things of agriculture and mining in Yunnan, the case of manufactures is not much better. The metallurgical industry is said to have flourished before the rebellion, and to have largely decayed upon the abandonment of the mines. Foundries still exist at Linan and Yunnan-Fu for brass and iron utensils, &c., while copper foundries at Yunnan-Fu turn out ingots for coinage purposes. There are said to be several workshops for treating argentiferous galena. Ningchow produces earthenware, and steel is made at Laolukuan and Chintong. Mr. Turner says that an immense quantity of good strong paper is made from bamboo and gaupi, and is by far the largest article of manufacture in Yunnan, while fibrous products (twine, string, and rope) made at Yungchang probably form the only articles of local manufacture exported from Yunnan in any considerable quantities. Silk reeling and the weaving of silk goods once flourished, but were ruined by the rebellion. Signs of revival, however, are reported by the French Consul at Mengtsz, especially in the prefecture of Tsou-Hsion. The authorities have set up looms in Yunnan-Fu, and brought weavers from Ssuchuan to instruct the inhabitants. Coarse flannels and strong silks are manufactured from native produce. Raw cotton from the Shan States is transported on pack animals to various parts of Yunnan. Cotton cloths of narrow width, of coarse texture, and of light or dark blue colour, are worn almost universally. The natives prefer home-made to foreign cotton cloths. Foreign (Bombay) yarn is used as the warp in weaving cloth, thread spun locally from imported cotton forming the weft. The native cloths differ; some of native yarn are extremely coarse, while those with an intermixture of foreign yarn are said to be superior in warmth, regularity, and strength. Rocher says that the cloths of Hohsipu are famous throughout Yunnan for fineness, durability, and regular texture. Although the native cloths are said to be warmer and more durable than foreign shirtings, foreign goods, at present little used, would find a market if they could be sold cheaply, for native cloths are dear and often beyond the means of the people, who consequently appear ill-clad. Grey shirtings are gaining on white, which are tending to disappear. The Blackburn Mission report a remarkable increase of weaving in Yunnau-Fu in recent years, owing to the large importation of Indian yarns and the immigration of Ssuchuanese, and a benevolent society undertakes to teach the art. The Indian yarns come chiefly via Mengtsz, and in S. Yunnan generally cotton weaving is rapidly progressing. The light taxation imposed both on the raw materials and the finished articles tends to encourage the industry, which is capable of still further growth. Sinhingchow, Kutsing-Fu, and Hosi are the largest weaving centres. They make light, plain, narrow cloths. Ssumao is also a centre for spinning and wearing cotton. Mr. Turner says that Tali-Fu has recently become a centre for calico-weaving from Bombay yarns under the direction of Ssuchuanese weavers, and looms and other appliances are being made at that place. The calico they manufacture is very narrow, 14 inches. He suggests that the supply of Bombay yarns should be better organised by the establishment of a house at Momien. \n\n## Kueichou \n\nA few words about Kueichou must conclude this section. In Kueichou there is little cultivation except in the bottoms of the valleys, and only enough grain is grown to feed the population. Opium is as prominent a crop as in Yunnan, but inferior in quality. Many of the indigenous tribes now grow it. Other important crops are rice, maize, wheat, beans, and millet; cotton, sugar, and indigo in the south towards Kwangsi, tung oil and varnish trees in the north, coarse tea on the Yunnan frontier, tussa silk at Tsuni, paper mulberry producing pith for paper in the south, and white wax. Coal, iron, copper, and mercury are especially abundant, and lead, zinc, silver, and mineral oil are found. The broken nature of the ground often brings the minerals to the surface. All the minerals, however, are imperfectly worked, and many coal and iron mines are hopelessly flooded. There is no ready outlet for mining produce. In Kueichou people prefer native cloths to finer and better finished imported goods. Every town and village manufactures cloth from raw cotton or from Indian yarn. The Bombay yarn, cheap, coarse, and easy to manipulate, has ousted the hand-spun native yarn, and is used for both warp and weft. Counts of 12 and 14 are preferred. The Miaotzu and other aborigines engage in weaving. The chief centre is Anshun, where the looms turn out several thousand pieces weekly, and the demand for yarn exceeds the supply. Hpangtsaopa is said to import 400,000 lbs. of Indian yarn annually via the West River, and to employ 2,500 looms. Other weaving centres are Hsincheng and Tushan. Bark paper is an important staple of production. Ipangtsaopa has a large manufacture of sun hats. In Kueichou, as in Yunnan, capital and labour are greatly needed, together with improved communications. The tools of agriculture and industry, buildings, &c., were largely destroyed in the rebellions, and the replacement of capital out of meagre savings from insignificant incomes must be a tardy process. \n\n### (3.) Trade \n\nPage 553-564 \n\nJust as the physical features of the country determine the agricultural and other industrial conditions of Yunnan, so do these conditions determine its trade. If rich natural resources really exist they are undeveloped, and trade is consequently backward. The ruins of towns and villages, abandoned irrigation and mining works, and partly uncultivated valleys bear silent witness to the devastation wrought by civil strife and by frequent visitations of pestilence. Owing to the rudimentary material development, the poverty of the sparse population, the official discouragement of mining, and the vexatious taxation of goods in transit, there can be no important exchange of commodities. Even if these radical causes of restricted commerce were removed, the lack of favourable openings for the sale of products would be a serious hindrance. All transport is by means of coolies or pack animals, except in certain districts. Richthofen says that the trade of Yunnan has never been great. \n\nAgain, Yunnan possesses only a small number of routes, which the traveller must necessarily follow. According to Mr. Turner, land that is taken for roads is not paid for, so that landholders are not likely to encourage the cutting of broad highways. A good authority states that there is no road in the European meaning of the term from one end of China to another. Those used are merely customary tracks, never macadamised, and affected by all the natural irregularities of the surface. They follow the lines of least resistance through valleys, across plateaux, and up and down the most feasible mountain passes. They are never bounded by fences, are often undefined and tortuous, and generally undrained. In Yunnan the roads, or rather pathways, are bad, steep, and toilsome, and during the rainy season (May to September) they are often impassable for days together. They are usually ill-paved and neglected paths, although there is said to be official provision for their repair. They require to be straightened, widened, and levelled. Some of the chief trade routes are impracticable for horses, and coolies must be employed. The accommodation for man and beast is inadequate and wretched everywhere, and brigands attack the caravans on some of the main tracks. The malarial fevers engendered by the marshy ground on some of the routes hinder trade at certain seasons. \n\nWhen we consider these numerous obstacles to traffic, the force of Richthofen's remark becomes apparent, that the general trade of Western China must be excluded from consideration, and Yunnan commerce regarded... \n\nPage 6531 \nE", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368756, "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": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 577, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "# \n559 \n\n## Hlaindet to the Takaw Ferry. Mekong Routes.\n\nThe railway schemes of Messrs. Colquhoun and Hallett.\n\n28 \n\nand also a large local trade. Mr. Turner also says that the Burma-Kunlon line presents no immediate prospect of success owing to the lack of merchandise to convey--what is large for mule transport being small for an expensive railway. At present there are few articles of export and none in large quantities, and little promise of any. He describes the road between Shunning and Tali as bad, with only one place of importance on the way, the busy little town of Menghua-Ting, situated in a plain growing a large quantity of rice and opium. There is considerable agreement that Shunning has little trade except in the necessaries of life. But the country generally is not unfertile, for Prince Henry says that though the right bank of the Mekong is poor up to Mienning, beyond that town and up to Tali there are beautiful, populous, and very rich plains recalling that of Tunghai in south Yunnan. Lieutenant Roux goes even further, and, after referring to Mienning as a small town with a rather important trade with Burma, he says that beyond it he traversed one of the richest parts of Yunnan, passing through several important commercial centres such as Yincho, Shunning, and Menghua. Captain Daly holds that the area to be served by the Kunlon line will probably be eventually confined to western, central, and south Yunnan, with Shunning as the centre. The chief trade centres of west Yunnan are, he says, Yungchang and Lungling, a town south-east of Momien, by which a large traffic used to pass. He believes that when the Kunlon line is opened the trading community of Lungling will move en masse to Kokang (which is, in Mr. Scott's opinion, the richest tract in the Shan States), with its thriving market town of Malipa (Tawnio), only 25 miles from Kunlon Ferry, and connected with Yungchang by a fairly good road. Panlong is another trading centre of importance not far from Kunlon. Other towns which the railway to Shunning would render more accessible are Tali (with Atentzu and Yungpei to the north) and Ssumao, from which it may possibly divert some trade. Indian yarn might be delivered in Yunnan via Kunlon when the line is opened at least as cheaply as through Tonkin. Many officers and civilians, however, doubt whether the line can be a commercial success for many years, though Mr. Bagley, the chief engineer, expects that the traffic with the Shan States alone will make it pay.\n\nNo direct route from Kunlon to Yunnan-Fu has ever been explored. There is said to be a trade route via Shagwe (on the Mekong), Chintong, and Gokia to Hsinhsing and thence to Yunnan-Fu, but the distance is not known. Even if the railway were constructed to Yincho, several marches would remain to be done by road. Only west Yunnan, then, need be considered as to trade and communications.\n\n## (c.) Hlaindet-Mone-Takaw Ferry Route.\nThis is the only path besides the Bhamo route that is much frequented. Hlaindet is 80 miles south of Mandalay, and the route to Takaw (via Kyaniykon and Natit) occupies 21 days from Mandalay. Takaw, 130 miles south of Kunlon, is a narrow defile. From Takaw to Kenghung via Kengtung takes 19 days. But the difficulties of this route are great. There are said to be fifteen ranges of mountains between Hlaindet and Kenghung, and the likin duties beyond Kenghung are stated to be heavy. In spite, however, of these drawbacks, Chinese caravans come to Mone from Tali-Fu, Puerh, Ssumao, and Yunnan-Fu.\n\n## MEKONG ROUTES.\nIt appears desirable to devote a short section to those of the routes by the Mekong which do not go direct from Burma to China. The Mekong is navigable up to, and a little within, the borders of Yunnan, in passing through which it traverses for the most part wild solitudes where cultivation is impossible. Here and there on its banks are likin stations, with a few miserable cabins. Lieutenant Roux speaks of travelling near the river for eight days north from Dayakeu and passing two fine plains, Mong Pan and Mong Ka, situated amid wild and desolate mountains. Navigation is practicable in parts of the river, but rapids and cascades, especially those of Khong and Kemmarat, render through traffic impossible. One of the best-known Burma-China railway schemes, that of Messrs. Colquhoun and Hallett, was designed to tap south-west China by the Kenghung route to Ssumao. Mr. Hallett has argued that any line to China north of Mandalay is out of the question, and that the Chinese Government would not construct a railway from Kunlon to the Mekong because of the physical difficulties. The proposed line would go from Moulmein through Zimmé (in Siam), thence towards the Mekong, which would be touched at Kenghsen, and afterwards to Kenghung and Ssumao. It is contended that Ssumao is admirably situated for trade; that the railway can be constructed at a reasonable expense; that valuable plains would be opened to commerce; that the line would tap a rich and prosperous part of China and enable us to compete with France; and that, if the line were carried to Ssumao, this town would become the starting point of a railway system for south-west China. M. Chailley Bert remarks that this route is shorter and has less steep ascents than the Hlaindet route, but it would traverse Siam and also a rough, mountainous, and little-known country on the right bank of the Mekong, or else abut on French Laos. It is worth noticing that the trade of the Upper Mekong is comparatively insignificant; only ten or eleven caravans passed through Zimmé from Yunnan in 1896, with goods valued at £2,250. But the paramount objection to this scheme is the political one that the railway would traverse territory not under the control of the British Government, and this objection has become strengthened since the French advanced to the Mekong. It therefore appears unnecessary to criticise Messrs. Colquhoun and Hallett's statements about the richness and populousness of south-west Yunnan and the commercial importance of Ssumao, or their proposal for carrying a railway beyond Ssumao to the valley of the Yangtze. A railway even as far as Ssumao would be very long, and difficult and costly to construct, and could hardly compete successfully with lines from Haiphong and Bangkok. A Siamese railway to Korat is nearly completed.\n\n## Routes.\n\nThere are two Siamese routes, both passing through the Shan States. Siamese By the Mekong route traffic passes to Kenghung and Ssumao, but the difficulties are very great. By the Menam route boats can reach Zimmé in three weeks from Bangkok, though goods rarely take less than six weeks. But both these routes involve a long transit and a number of likin payments, which means a heavy price for laying down goods in Yunnan.\n\nThe French have attached importance to a route by the Mekong, but find The French navigation difficult. The valley of the Namu, which branches off from and the Mekong. the Mekong above Luang Prabang, offers to commerce an easier and shorter way than that of the Upper Mekong, but its length is sufficiently great to be a drawback. It is said by a recent French writer that gunboats can go up to Luang Prabang and even to Kenghsen for at least part of the year, and it is claimed that this route is diverting trade from Siam to Cambodia and Cochin China. According to M. Macey, English products penetrate to the Upper Mekong by many routes, and the French hope to bring back to their territory the ancient caravans, and to establish agencies and depôts in Muong-Lu. Navigation is at present slow, but it is asserted that the improvements projected will make the river navigable at any time on the borders of French territory. But M. Rocher and others declare that the Mekong will never be a way of penetration into China for the French at all comparable with the Red River, and that the sooner they renounce their illusions about it the better.\n\n## Kenghung via Ssumao to Yunnan-Fu.\nThe Mekong routes are directed Kenghung to towards Ssumao through Kenghung, the road from which reaches Ssumao, Yunnan.Fu. after traversing a rich cotton and tea country, in seven days. The whole journey from Kenghung to Yunnan-Fu takes 22 days, according to General Mesny, over very rugged roads. This route is known as the \"great route.\" Beyond Ssumao the country is extremely difficult, a belt of mountains 130 miles wide forming the watershed of the Red River and its chief tributaries. For eleven stages there are difficult ascents and descents. The road goes via Puerh and Talang (an important market in south Yunnan) to Yuanchiang-chou, a squalid town in a malarious plain. (The Yuan River, or Upper Red River, has a sharp fall and steep and precipitous bluffs, and is never likely to serve the purposes of commerce.) The country traversed has many ruined villages, little cultivation, and a small population, mainly Shans and Lolos. Beyond Shibping-chou, a prosperous and important town, the road joins the main route from Tonkin to Yunnan-Fu. Kreitner suggested a railway by this route.\n\n29 \n\n## \n570", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368758, "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": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 579, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "# Progress of Red River\n\n## French activity\n\n32\n\nthan the route via Mengtsz furnishes. By going straight to Kaihua (which takes five days) instead of through Mengtsz, merchants will save several days, cost of transport will be diminished, and importation and exportation will be facilitated. The road from Laokai via Manhao to Mengtsz is very difficult, a succession of craggy ascents and stony ravines, which make the prospect of a railway remote. Between Manhao and Mengtsz (2 days' journey) the road rises from 510 to 6,150 feet. A new route is now being surveyed from Laokai to Mengtsz direct, which, it is anticipated, will effect a great saving of time. Consul Jamieson thinks that a light railway between Laokai and Mengtsz is practicable, and, considering the volume of trade, might pay.\n\nYet the commerce is by no means insignificant, despite the numerous hindrances to trade. This fact is largely explained by the activity of the French Government in securing concessions from the Chinese. They have obtained the opening of four towns within the Chinese frontier—Mengtsz, Lungehow, Ssumao, and Hokou. All commodities, native and foreign, entering China over the Tonkin frontier enjoy by treaty the right to claim exemption from inland taxes by payment of transit dues at the Customs; all imports not on the ad valorem list pay only ½ and exports of the same category only ⅓ of the regular tariff rates in force at coast and river ports (reductions not applicable to transit dues). All products of Chinese origin coming across the Tonkin frontier from Yunnan and Kwangsi have free importation and transit, except opium (unless it be sealed by the French Customs). Mr. Bourne says that the import trade in foreign goods has almost entirely shifted from the West River route via Pose to the Red River route, and he ascribes this to the vigorous enforcement of transit passes to cover goods to Yunnan-Fu. The result is that English goods in the capital are cheaper than formerly, though the French themselves impose heavy customs duties (substantially those of the metropolitan tariff) on British goods passing through Tonkin, together with miscellaneous charges somewhat arbitrarily levied. These duties amount to 10 or 11 per cent. on piece goods and 3 per cent. on yarn. A piece of grey shirting pays nearly twice as much to the French as to the Chinese Government. M. Leroy Beaulieu, the eminent authority on colonial questions, asserts that the French Customs system, \"which is for ever examining merchandise, opening packages and not closing them properly, and spoiling the goods under the pretence of guarding against smuggling,\" is enough to make all traders shun the Tonkin route. It should be noted that the Red River trade is almost wholly a transit trade from Hong Kong, with some similar trade from Saigon and Singapore. Indian yarn constituted more than two-thirds of the imports in 1896. The attempt to stimulate Chinese exports by the Red River has not met with much success, and the imports into China remain double the exports. M. Chailley Bert says that Tonkin should repudiate the régime of Customs duties which bars this route to European transactions in Western China.\n\n## Progress in 1897\n\nDuring 1897 the facilities for trade were greatly improved in the neighbourhood of Laokai, and Chinese merchants have been encouraged to attend the fairs recently re-opened there. Bonded warehouses have been established at Hanoi, Laokai, and Langson (in addition to one already opened at Haiphong) for foreign goods in transit through Tonkin. The Government is now undertaking works for the improvement of the navigation of the Red River, and the organisation of a towage service is spoken of. According to the Saigon Consular Report for 1897 tenders have been invited for the construction of a metre line from Hanoi to the Chinese frontier, presumably to Laokai, a railway which could, it is said, be constructed without difficulty, and would do much to promote trade. But Lieutenant Roux says that it would not pay to spend the necessary £4,000,000 on a railway if it saved only three or four days in the transport of merchandise. Rocher has pointed out that the Tonkin route, though shorter and cheaper than others, has to compete with well-established and long-frequented routes, that bring merchandise suitable to the people at rates relatively low, considering cost of transport, &c., and especially with the Yangtze, which must, he says, always be the greatest commercial artery of the Empire. It appears clear that China will increase her exports of tin through Tonkin. Tin formed four-fifths in value of the exports in 1896. In return, the French will probably supply south and south-east Yunnan and the region up to Yunnan-Fu with foreign goods. The heavy protective duties, which have made the French share of Tonkin trade larger than it was, have adversely affected British interests in Hong Kong. But the progress of Burma trade with West Yunnan may do something to redress the balance. The French talk of cultivating cotton in Tonkin, and exporting it to Yunnan. They claim that the cotton of Laos is superior to that of Burma. Prince Henry says that Tonkin could do a great trade in exporting cotton yarn and cloth, apparel, silk, salt, and tobacco, and in importing metals, opium, and musk.\n\n## Trade Routes\n\nThe more enthusiastic advocates of a forward French policy in Yunnan have dilated on the numerous regions that may be tapped from Tonkin—south Yunnan to Ssumao, and the tea regions S. of that town; west Yunnan to Tali and even Tibet; Kueichou and Kwangsi; Yunnan-Fu and N. to Ssuchuan and the Yangtze. It will be sufficient to touch on two routes, those through south Yunnan to Ssumao and through central Yunnan to the capital, for present indications do not point to the development of any great trade with Kueichou and Kwangsi, or with Ssuchuan.\n\n### Mengtsz to Ssumao\n\nThe trade route is a circuitous path which strikes the Mengtsz to \"great route,\" already described (page 29), at Yuanchiang. The country to the immediate N. of the Tonkin-Yunnan frontier is a wide and almost unknown region of mountains, inhabited by Shans and Lolos living in practical independence under native chiefs. Prince Henry and Lieutenant Roux explored this region, keeping to the right bank of the Red River. They traversed a very intricate country by means of mule tracks, and found no wide plain between Mengtsz and Ssumao. There was little cultivation, and the villages were few and miserable. Lieutenant Roux speaks of their passing five or six villages a day, and considers this not a small number for south Yunnan, which he describes as in the main a poor country—thus agreeing with Mr. Bourne and disagreeing with M. Rocher. They passed the town of Isa, a place fairly well peopled and having a brisk trade in salt, sugar, tobacco, &c. Another place of some importance was Muongle, situated on what the Chinese call the \"little route\" between Upper Laos and the Red River. This route, along which tea and cotton are carried, is only practicable in the dry season—the damp at other times causing fevers. Muongle is about 10 miles north from the Tonkin frontier, which is here constituted by the chain that divides the Namu from the Black River. The town has a native industry of black cotton stuff, and a trade in raw cotton and opium. There is said to be an easy route from Muongle north-west to the Mekong basin. After traversing savage and mountainous country the travellers reached Ssumao. Prince Henry says that the Ssumao district is richer than that of the Upper Red River, but the latter has copper and tin, and more varied cultivation.\n\n### Mengtsz to Yunnan-Fu\n\nThis road (nine stages) is one of the best roads in the province, and easier and more expeditious than that from Pose. After crossing a small pass and a high mountain chain with a good road and gradual ascent, and then another mountain pass with a well-paved road, the route to the capital is good and fairly level. This route passes several towns of some little importance, including Tunghai, Kiangchuan, and Tsinning. The Lyons Mission found many ruined villages as far as Kuangsi, after which the country changes, and there are rice, wheat, and other crops, irrigation canals, and populous plains. Linan or Lingan-Fu is a large place in a fertile plain, much ravaged by plague. It is here that the \"great route\" from Kenghung and Ssumao joins the Mengtsz-Yunnan-Fu route. Very diverse accounts of Linan are given by Rocher and Colquhoun. Mr. Bourne found that Tunghai, three days N.-W. of Linan in a fertile opium-yielding country, has a larger trade than Linan in foreign goods from Pakhoi. Hsinhsing-chow is in a valley rich with indigo and rice.\n\n## Railway Projects\n\nOn 11th April 1898 the Chinese granted the French the right to construct a line to Yunnan-Fu. Rocher says that a railway from Tonkin to Yunnan-Fu would be superior in advantages to one from Pose (on the West River) to Yunnan-Fu. It should not go via Mengtsz, but by the Red River, and... \n\nPage 561\nPage 572 \nPage 6531", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368761, "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": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 582, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "## Chungking and the Yangtze trade\n\n38\n\nSsuchuan produces silk, tobacco, tea, sugar, maize, oil seeds, millet, paper fibres, hemp, indigo, various medicines, ramie, white wax, &c. An increased area is being devoted in Ssuchuan to opium cultivation, which is more lucrative than that of rice and pulse, which it is displacing. But Ssuchuan opium is inferior to the produce of Yunnan. The poppy fields of Ssuchuan, Yunnan, and Kueichou together are said to be ample enough to meet the requirements of nearly the whole of China. Opium is retailed all over Ssuchuan at 140-200 cash (about 6d. or 7d.) per ounce. In Lower Burma, the retail price of opium is about 13 rupees per tola, or nearly 60d. per ounce.\n\nThe commerce of the province is capable of very great development. The trade in silk, the culture and weaving of which are encouraged, might especially be increased. Ssuchuan is almost cottonless, and as the people wear cotton cloths all the year round, there is a great demand for cotton piece goods, and still more for Indian cotton yarn, which they weave into cloth, some of the manufactures being sent to Yunnan and Kueichou. At present, there is stated to be great ignorance of foreign goods, and only the difficulty of getting them, it is said, prevents a largely increased consumption. Good stout sheetings, cotton scarves and tape, red blankets, quinine, soap, and candles would be favourable articles of import in exchange for silk (the only important article so far sent to Europe), opium, wax, drugs, salt, tobacco, and musk.\n\nThe opening of Chengtu to foreign trade would have important results, while a steamer service to Sui-Fu would do much to develop trade. There are ample supplies of coal for steamers near the Yangtze. The mineral wealth of Ssuchuan is thought to be enormous, coal, iron, lead, salt, copper, &c. Salt is one of the chief products of the province, the output of the Tzulinching wells being valued at £2,500,000 annually. But European methods must be applied for the effectual development of mining in Ssuchuan.\n\nChungking (with a population of 300,000) is the commercial key of Western China, the sole wholesale market for foreign goods in Ssuchuan. It has been described as a \"perpetual Nishni Novgorod.\" It is remarkable for the volume of its trade, and the number and wealth of its merchants. Chungking is reached from the sea by the Yangtze, steamers bringing goods 1,000 miles up the river to Ichang, whence junks (estimated to number 7,000 annually) ascend over a part of the river that is troubled with rapids to Chungking (400 miles from Ichang). The journey down stream from Chungking to Shanghai occupies from 12 to 14 days, the up-journey about two months.\n\nSince Chungking was opened as a Treaty Port in 1891, endeavours have been made to establish steam communication with Shanghai, but not until the Treaty of Shimonoseki with Japan (1895) was this privilege conceded, and not until last May did a steamer (that of Mr. A. J. Little) reach the city. Chungking is not only the distributing centre for foreign goods but also an emporium for inter-provincial trade. It is connected with every important town in Ssuchuan by such busy waterways as the Tokiang, Minkiang, and Sulinho.\n\nHitherto, commerce from the sea-board has been impeded by the necessity of transhipping goods into junks at Ichang, and the time, labour, and risk attending this operation have curtailed the traffic. Freight to Chungking has cost 10s. per ton and 1s per ton per mile beyond, so that foreign goods have been heavily handicapped, especially as customs and transit dues have had to be paid in addition. If commerce is already considerable at Chungking—and according to the Customs Report, the exports in 1897 were over £1,000,000 and the imports £3,250,000—safer, speedier, and cheaper communications with the coast must largely increase the demand for foreign goods in Ssuchuan and also stimulate exports.\n\nAt present, the import of foreign manufactures is small considering the population. Mr. Bourne considers that skilled control of the navigation is necessary for permanent steam communications. Other important trading towns in Ssuchuan are Chiating, with 150,000 people, a very active agricultural and commercial city, the centre of the silk and white wax industries and of a large salt and timber trade; Hochow, with great traffic in silk, cotton, &c.; Wan Hsien, which is said to have doubled its trade and population in the last 20 years; Fuchow, Fengtu Hsien, &c. Steamer service would probably be practicable up to Sui-Fu, and thence up the Min River to Chiating.\n\nSui-Fu, situated at the junction of the Min and Chin-sha Rivers, is 17 to 30 days up from Chungking. It is the mart of Central Ssuchuan, and is in the midst of a district producing coals, salt, &c. Its dense population of 180,000 are engaged in different branches of silk culture. The shops offer a great variety of European goods, cottons, cutlery, toys, &c., in a word (says a member of the Lyons Mission), every bad bauble that Leipzig or Nuremberg can export. It enjoys a large and profitable transit trade, being the entrepôt for products between Ssuchuan, north Yunnan, and Thibet.\n\n39\n\n## Routes from the Yangtze to Yunnan-Fu\n\nThere are five routes from the Yangtze to Yunnan-Fu.\n\n### (a) Hankow to Yunnan-Fu\n\nThis is the chief official route. It goes by Hankow to the Tung-ting Lake and up the Yuankiang to Chenyuan-Fu, just within the borders of Kueichou. Here, after 40 days' journey, the boat navigation ends. Then the route lies overland through a mountainous region to Kueiyang-Fu (reached in 8 days), and traverses the rest of Kueichou through more fertile country. Yunnan-Fu is reached in 18 days from Kueiyang. Thus the total journey is 66 days. This route, known as the Mandarins' route, is but little used for commerce, as the likin duties payable on entering Hunan, Kueichou, and Yunnan, combined with freight charges, render produce too costly for sale in Yunnan. But goods (e.g., opium) required for Hunan and Kwangsi come from Yunnan by this route, while cotton goods from Hankow for Kueiyang-Fu traverse it. Better conditions in respect of transport and taxation would increase the trade in foreign goods. At present, these charges involve an addition of 20 per cent. ad valorem to the cost of cotton yarn and shirtings.\n\n### (b) Chungking to Yunnan-Fu via Kueiyang-Fu\n\nThe first town of note on this route is Chichiang Hsien, an important trade depot for north-west Ssuchuan-Kueichou, especially for salt. It is in water communication with Chungking, but navigation ceases at Chichiang. Kanshui, near the Kueichou border, is in a well-cultivated district producing coal, iron, and copper, and is famed for the manufacture of iron pans. Towards Kueichou appears a sea of bare rocky mountains. The precipitous banks of the Sungkan River must be crossed and also a pass 3,000 feet high before Tungtzubsien is reached. Passing coal mines and poppy fields, the traveller comes to Tsuni, a prosperous place with manufactures of very hard and strong silk cloth. There is much poppy cultivation before reaching the capital, Kueiyang (15 days from Chungking). Kueiyang-Fu is a large city with an active commercial population.\n\nThe road from Kueiyang-Fu to Yunnan-Fu traverses the valley of Langtai Ting, prosperous and full of houses, and famous for superior opium. The country continues difficult, and carts are not seen till the frontier of Yunnan is crossed. Ping-i-hsien (in Yunnan) lies in a large well-watered plain and has abundance of coal, which is found all the way from Kueiyang-Fu to Yunnan-Fu. Chan-i-chou is in a vast plain well cultivated with rice, and famous as the breeding ground of Yunnan ponies. Thence the route is by Yanglin to the capital.\n\n(An alternative route is from Hokiang on the Yangtze to Kueiyang-Fu. It proceeds up the Chishin-ho to Jeahuai-ting, a town with important salt traffic. There are several large and busy towns along this route, such as Tushan, trade being mainly in salt and opium. Anshun, a prosperous place S. of Kueiyang, reached by fairly good roads, is the second city in Kueichou, and has a brisk trade in local products, especially cotton cloths and whitewax insects, and in foreign goods.)\n\n### (c) Chungking via Luchow to Yunnan-Fu\n\nFrom Luchow, a town with a great business in transhipment of salt and extensive opium cultivation, the route proceeds to Nachi (nine days) and thence by boat up the Yungning River to Yungning Fu (four days), whence it goes overland through a part of Kueichou, and reaches Yunnan-Fu (21 days). This route is shorter than the Sui-Fu route (d). Moreover, the country is easier and the path better. But almost all the trade goes by Sui-Fu, because the Yungning route crosses a corner of Kueichou, which involves an additional likin, while on the Sui-Fu route Yunnan and Ssuchuan are conterminous. Goods from Chungking through Kueichou are said to pay three likins and twelve prefectural taxes before reaching Tali, while by the Sui-Fu route they pay only two likins and seven prefectural taxes. Yungning-hsien, being on the frontier of Ssuchuan...\n\n564 \n575", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368762, "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": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 583, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "## (d.) Sui-Fu (Hsüchou-Fu) to Yunnan-Fu\n\nThis is the main trade route between the Yangtze and Yunnan (25 to 26 stages). General Mesny speaks of the route as the most important and least costly of trade routes from central China to Yunnan. Mr. Bourne calls it the only great commercial route between north Yunnan on the one hand and Ssuchuan and the Eastern Provinces on the other, and states that it has a large transit trade. From Sui-Fu the route goes to An pien-chang and ascends the Keng River, which contains many rapids and rocks, and the navigation of which ends at Hengchiang. Goods come up the river by boat and are then carried by coolies to Laowatan (77 miles in four days through a difficult mountain district by a bad road), at about 5d. to 6d. per ton per mile. In Ssuchuan a large part of the transport is always done by coolies, who can live very cheaply. Laowatan, 137 miles from Sui-Fu, is the great likin station on this route, the chief import through it into Yunnan being native cotton cloth, with some foreign cottons, tobacco, salt, and drugs, while the chief export is opium, with tin, lead, copper, tea, and drugs. Likin is rigidly enforced, and the officials are especially extortionate and unreasonable with small traders. At Laowatan the goods brought by coolies are re-packed and sent on by mules and ponies. There is an ascent of 2,500 feet in nine miles to Li-shan-ting, and a descent of 2,000 feet to Tou-sha-kuan in the next nine miles. Here begins a district of great poverty, with scanty vegetation and few houses. Beyond Takuan-ting the path ascends 2,800 feet in 45 miles. The country traversed is poor and difficult, the houses miserable and ruined. According to Soltau the ranges between the Takuan valley and Chaotung are extremely difficult, with dangerous precipices and deep ravines. Near Chaotung (6,580 feet) carts are found. The town lies midway between the two chief sources of cotton supply, Hankow and Burma, so cotton is dear and the people ill-clad. Chaotung has 40,000 people, but it is not noted for any special product. It depends on agriculture and through traffic. The foreign goods are few, and are sold by itinerant vendors. Its plain produces opium and large quantities of indigo. Chaotung serves as a distributing centre for goods (especially medicines) from the Yangtze to north-west Ssuchuan via Huilichou and even up to Tali, and east through Weining. Beyond Chaotung the country is a dry, bare, almost rainless plateau with no rivers. The descent to the Nuilan valley is by a road indescribably bad and steep through a wretched district. Except the small town of Chiang-ti there is hardly a house for 46 miles. The winds are specially injurious in this region. The rebellion has left deep and frequent traces in ruined villages and uncultivated valleys. Tungchuan-Fu (7,150 feet), five stages from Chaotung, has long been famous as a mining centre, and in the district there are said to be still rich mineral deposits of iron, coal, lead, zinc, and copper, though only copper is worked. Its population is small, poor, and hard worked. There is little demand for foreign goods, though a few come from the West River, the Red River, and the Yangtze. (A route runs through very mountainous country from Tungchuan to Tali via Huilichou. This route crosses the Chinshakiang at two stages from Tungchuan). From Tungchuan to Yunnan-Fu there are seven stages. Mr. Bourne says that in one day he travelled 25 miles without passing a single village, and that during 20 days he traversed a miserable country of alternating bare and wind-swept downs and precipitous cañons. At three points the path ascends to 7,830, 8,426, and 9,993 feet. Transport animals frequently die of the hardships they experience on this route. The Lyons Mission spoke of wandering through a wilderness of mountains and rough valleys. The roads often run along the mountain sides, and are strewn with boulders.\n\n## Page 41\n\nFrom Laowatan to Kungshan (305 miles) the country is at present of no possible value for commerce, according to Mr. Bourne. The people are very poor, and, if clad, clad in Shashi cloth. After Kungshan the country improves, and fertile plains are traversed to Yangkai, beyond which poppy fills the whole cultivated area. A vast plain stretches from Yangkai to the prosperous market town of Yanglin, said to be one of the richest in Yunnan, and containing numerous villages with an active population and a great number of cattle.\n\nIn spite of the many obstacles to traffic, this is the principal trade route from the Yangtze valley to Yunnan-Fu, though a member of the Lyons Mission states that since the opening of the Kueichou and Tonkin route, the present route is little frequented, being used only by few and small caravans with tobacco and indigo from Ssuchuan, medicines for Ssuchuan, and cotton for Huilichou. But no confirmation of this statement can be found. In any case, a route along which the main path is too narrow for bulky goods and is generally broken and uncared for, a route which traverses sterile, thinly peopled, and even in parts uninhabitable tracks, crosses high ridges and deep ravines, and goes along the beds of streams, hardly offers much scope for an extensive trade in foreign goods. Trade is further hampered by taxation, amounting to 12 per cent. on the Shanghai value of cotton goods.\n\nKreitner proposed a railway from Yunnan-Fu via Hsuntien, Tungchuan, and Chaotung to Sui-Fu. But M. Brenier, Secretary General of the Lyons mission, says that a railway is held by experts to be impossible on account of the nature of the country and of the forests. He says that it is impossible from a practical standpoint, for it would cost enormous sums which the present and prospective traffic would not repay. It would, moreover, cost more for freight by such a line from Tonkin than the existing freight by the Yangtze route. The commercial members of the Blackburn Mission thought that the rates charged on a line through a country presenting such great engineering difficulties would be as high as the present charges for pack animals. Although a railway might be possible from Yunnan-Fu as far as Kungchai, the tremendous ascents and descents for the rest of the way would be insuperable barriers. Similarly a project for a railway from Yunnan-Fu via Tungchuan up to the bend of the Chinshakiang to the S. of Huilichou is impracticable, for any line must cross the watershed between the West River and the Yangtze basins, while even if the river were reached by railway it would, owing to innumerable rapids, be found unnavigable, except for small boats, down to Pingshan.\n\n## (e.) Chungking viâ Chengtu-Fu to Tali-Fu\n\nThe route to Chengtu-Fu proceeds overland or by boat. The overland road passes the important towns of Jungchang-Hsien and Lungchang (centre of the grass cloth trade), and the salt wells of Tzulinching. A busy and populous district with many large villages lies between Yuting-pu and Tzu-chou, noted for salt, sugar, and grass cloth, and Chien-Chou, famous for opium. Beyond Chengtu-Fu the first town to be noted is Yachou, in the midst of a great tea-growing district. Consul Litton speaks highly of the strategic importance of Yachou, the possession of which would give an enemy from the West a clear run down the valley of the Ya River to Chiating, which is in the Min Valley, and in the heart of Ssuchuan. Yachou is a place of importance as the starting point of commerce to Tibet, in tea and cotton, which are exchanged for musk, wool, furs, gold, goat-skins, medicines, &c. At Yachou is prepared all the brick tea sent to Tibet. The tea trade with Tibet, valued at a million taels, goes by pack coolies along a difficult route with huge forests and mountains (one pass of 13,000 feet, and two of over 9,000 feet) to Tatsien-lu (Tachien-lu), a town of great commercial and strategical importance on the Tibetan frontier, a journey of 15 days. (There is another route which Mr. Litton considers is easier and more direct, only one obstacle, the Ma Ngai Pass of 9,700 feet, having to be surmounted. It is coming into favour with the tea carriers.) Drugs are produced and coal and iron are worked at Yachou. Over a high pass, and also within the tea region, is Jungching-Hsien, where coal and iron are mined and agricultural implements, &c. manufactured.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368763, "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": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 584, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "## Claims and Treaty Rights\n\n### 4.2\n\nCrossing the lofty Ta Hsiang Ling Pass (9,300 feet), the path descends to Chungchi-Hsien, the meeting point of the main road from Tibet to China and the road from Yunnan via the Chienchang valley (Marco Polo's Caindu). Fulin has communication with Chiating-Fu by means of the Tatu River, available only for rafts on account of the falls and rapids. There is great trade here in white wax insects, which are carried to Chiating, and also in copper from the S. and cotton and salt from the N. The route between Yachou and Ningyuan passes near the territory of the independent Black Lolos, who commit frequent depredations, especially in the autumn. After traversing the Hsiao Hsiang Ling Pass (9,800 feet) the road is cut through a gorge till near Luku, beyond which it ascends a low plateau, enters the Chienchang valley (almost surrounded by lofty mountains), and runs towards Chienchang-Fu or Ningyuan, a town with numerous pack animals. The plain between Luku and Ningyuan is well irrigated, and is noted for its fertility throughout Western China. It produces rice, poppy, cotton, tobacco, medicines, dyes, &c., together with minerals. It exports silk to Yunnan and pine boards to the N. But the chief product is the white wax insect. The people wear Tibetan and Lolo fabrics, or cottons from Hankow. Imports from the Yangtze are expensive on account of high freights and likin, and Mengtsz is said to be getting the trade owing to the use of transit passes. There is at present incessant traffic between Yachou and Ningyuan, but little between Ningyuan and Tali. (An important road connects Ningyuan with Huilichou, five stages, and a less frequented one connects it with Likiang). This district might well be supplied from Burma via Tali. There is little cultivation beyond Ningyuan until Huili-chou. Yenyuan is the capital of a district bordering on Yunnan, rich in copper and salt and white wax insects. Carts are here used for transport. From Paiyenching to the Yunnan frontier, a distance of 40 miles, Mr. Hosie's journey occupied five days, the route traversing almost impenetrable pine-covered mountains and uncultivated country. Yungpei Ting is important only as the place where Burma trade by way of Tali-Fu stops. Before the rebellion a broad highway is said to have connected Tali-Fu with Ssuchuan along this route.\n\nBut it seems probable that the Chienchang valley, the most important part of the route, has been rather overrated, and that this direct but difficult road from Tali-Fu to Ssuchuan is, and can be, of little commercial importance.\n\n## (5.) Rivalry between England and France\n\nOwing to the contiguity of their territories to Yunnan, England and France both have claims to share in its trade, and it is the desire of each to attract the trade of Western China generally. France has hitherto proceeded mainly through Tonkin, while England has operated from Burma and from the West and Yangtze Rivers. M. Gaston Rouvier contends that England has conquered Burma and occupied the Shan States only in order to attack China; and he asks if there is any means of preventing England from taking Yunnan except for France to forestall her. The present position of affairs is this. By the declaration between England and France of 15th January 1896 relating to Siam and other matters (Article 4), all commercial and other advantages that have been or may be conceded in Yunnan and Ssuchuan to either party shall be rendered common to both. This arrangement put the two nations on an apparently equal footing. But it has not prevented them from improving their relative positions. England has replied to the French advance upon the Mekong (which M. Brenier admits was political rather than commercial in its objects) by a re-adjustment of the Burma-Yunnan frontier and by the opening of the West River up to Wuchow. France has rejoined by prolonging the Langson railway towards Lungchow, and, what is much more important, by securing the concession of a railway from Pakhoi to Nanning. In the immediate future the contest must be on the West River.\n\nIn constructing a line to Lungchow the aim of the French has been partly to get the direct traffic (mainly aniseed), partly to attract the trade of Kwangsi, and partly to divert the trade which passes into Yunnan and other provinces from Pakhoi. A railway from Pakhoi to Nanning, if controlled by the French, must give them a yet stronger hold over the upper waters of the West River and also give them priority in the trade with east Yunnan, south Kueichou, and Kwangsi. When the Chinese Government proposed at the request of the British Ambassador to open Nanning as a Treaty Port, the French Chargé d'Affaires protested violently (telegrams 21st, 25th, and 31st January 1898), thus showing that the object of the French is to oust British trade from the Upper Sikiang. M. Brenier says plainly that if the French are to hinder England from draining part of Yunnan by the West River, the Langson-Lungchow line must be extended to Nanning or even Pose, which is the great market of Kwangsi and feeds the whole of south Kueichou up to Ngan Chouen. He states that all cotton yarns for Kueichou go through Pose, and that at Tcheulin, a stage before Ngan Chouen, there are 25 shops doing business in cotton yarns supplied by Nanning merchants. He considers that a railway would bring Pose within four days of the port of Haiphong in Tonkin, and suppress any possible foreign competition in the regions it would traverse. According to the Customs Report on Lungchow (1897), civil engineers are engaged in surveying rival routes of penetration from Tonkin into China in order to report to the French Government. It is reported that French officers and a band of Annamite soldiers are exploring Yunnan on the pretext that it is the hinterland of Tonkin (*Times*, 21st October 1898).\n\nAt present the British are fortunate in having secured the opening of the West River to Wuchow and a tardy enforcement of transit passes. Their goods can thus be more cheaply laid down in Kwangsi, Kueichou, and Yunnan. But a French railway from Pakhoi, unless French and English goods can be transported on equal terms, will be a serious competitor with the river route, and the only possible way for England to redress the balance and save her trade is by firm insistence on the opening of Nanning and Pose as Treaty Ports.\n\n### Ssuchuan\n\nPage 566 \nPage 577\n\nThe French are endeavouring to improve their position in Tonkin, and Tonkin railways are projected not only to Yunnan-Fu, but from Hanoi to Laokai, Mengtsz, and Ssumao. Although, however, the more sanguine spirits count on trade being opened up even as far as Ssuchuan and Tibet, it is hardly probable that much of the traffic will penetrate beyond Yunnan-Fu, for the opening of Chungking has given to the Yangtze routes the trade of north Yunnan. It deserves special notice that the important Lyons Commercial Mission (which included engineers, silk specialists, a cotton expert, and an expert in fibres) devoted attention mainly to Ssuchuan, making a thorough investigation (*enquête approfondie*) of its resources and particularly inquiring into the production, qualities, prices, &c., of silk. The cotton expert mentions plain and figured satinettes, printed drills, &c., as cotton goods in which the French might compete with the British. The Lyons Mission with thirteen delegates traversed over 10,000 miles, while the Blackburn Mission of three delegates (with no experts except in cotton) traversed only 4,300 miles. There appear to be many indications that France is now directing special attention to Ssuchuan and the Yangtze valley, and the necessity that England should secure a stable footing in that region becomes more and more urgent.\n\nThe French are also coveting territory on the Upper Mekong, and writers in French reviews strongly advocate the annexation of the territory to the N. of French Laos. A French gunboat has ascended the Mekong as far as Kenghung. England surrendered to China certain rights over Monglem and Kenghung by treaty of 1st March 1894 (Art. 5). China has already alienated a part of this territory to France in contravention of the treaty, and it has been once more agreed in a fresh treaty (4th February 1894) that neither Monglem nor any part of Kenghung on the right bank of the Mekong, nor any part of Kenghung now in the possession of China on the left bank, shall be ceded to any other nation without previous arrangement with Great Britain.\n\n## (6.) Conclusions\n\nAmid many diversities of opinion about Yunnan, writers agree that no route gives ready access to all parts of the province. The nature of the country, the bad roads, and the present modes of transport must prevent trade from penetrating far from Burma, Tonkin, or any other countries on the frontier except on a limited scale. Still less can it be expected that any important trade can take place between Burma and Ssuchuan, which are 60 marches apart. A still longer transit would be necessary for goods...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368934, "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": "CO129-287 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "page_number": 110, "title": "CO129-287 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "content_text": "## DOMESTIC.\n### HongMong \n#### No. 11109 \n**REGE/PM/98** \n**(Subject.)** \nWar between U States & Spain. \nManila \nRequests tel to Hong Kong parand at \nthat span.

It then decreases in elevation in the direction of Castle Peak, which is 1,800 feet high, but has a lower spur to the north, forming the southern arm of Deep Bay, in which there are two peaks rising to an elevation of 1,200 feet.\n\nBesides these two main ranges, there are cross ranges of lesser altitude, which divide the watershed between Mirs Bay and Deep Bay, with low hills in some of the valleys.\n\nThe heights of the mountains are taken from the map, sketched by Lieutenant E. G. Young, R.E., which gives a clear idea of the mountain system of the new territory, (Map. IV.)\n\n## WATERSHEDS\n\nThe watersheds of the territory being as a rule close to the east and south coasts, the more extensive valleys and plains lie to the west and north, and drain into Deep Bay. Such are the valleys of which the town of Sham Chun is the centre, and the valleys and plains of Pat Heung and Shap Pat Heung, lying to the north-west of the range of Tai Mo Shan. A remarkable feature in the Shap Pat Heung plains is the abrupt and clearly-defined line between hill and plain. The plain extends from the shores of Deep Bay for some miles into the interior, never reaching an elevation of more than 10 or 15 feet above high water mark, but from this point the hills rise abruptly at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees.\n\n## RIVER SYSTEM\n\nThe river system, like the mountain system, is divided into two sections—a northern and a southern. The chief river of the northern section and the largest in the territory is the Sham Chun river,* which has three branches or tributaries, a northern, an eastern and a southern. The northern branch rises in the mountains on the borders of the Sin Kun and San Tin districts, flowing in a south-westerly direction, joins the main river to the west of Sham Chun; the eastern branch rises in the low hills west of Starling Inlet, and flows in a westerly direction, joining the main river to the east of Sham Chun; the southern branch has its source in Kau Lung Hang, to the north of Tai Po Kau, and flows in a north-westerly direction, falling into the main river a mile below Sham Chun. All these branches are good-sized mountain streams, and most valuable as irrigators of the cultivated land through which they flow. They are, however, of no value as highways of trade, as they are too shallow to be navigated by even small craft. The Sham Chun river, from the town of Sham Chun to its mouth, is at high tide from 60 to 80 feet wide, has a depth of 7 to 12 feet, and is navigable for junks and launches. The bar at its mouth is about 6 or 7 feet in depth, and is reported at low tide to be only 3 feet in depth.\n\nThe Sham Chun river system is separated from the Un Long and Kam Tin, or southern river system, by the Kai Kung Tau range of mountains. The Un Long river rises in the northern slope of the Tai Mo Shan range, and, flowing in a northerly direction, empties itself into Deep Bay. The Kam Tin river, which has its source at the foot of Tai Mo Shan, flows in a north-westerly direction, joining the Un Long river at the village of Sheung Shui. The Un Long river is navigable by small junks as far as Un Long, a market town three miles distant from Deep Bay to the north.\n\nThe Kam Tin river has a depth of from three to six feet at high tide all the way from its mouth in Deep Bay to the town of Kam Tin, a distance of about six miles.\n\nThe first steamer that ever went up this river was the pinnace of H.M.S. Plover, which had no difficulty in conveying the members of the Commission as far as the market town of Kam Tin, with a cutter in tow.\n\nWithin the basins of these two river systems are found the most fertile soil and the most populous villages in the area about to be leased.\n\n## WATER SUPPLY\n\nThe water supply appears to be excellent everywhere. During the month of August, when the inspection of the territory was made, there were streams of water pouring down the hill sides in every direction, and the villages' wells contained ample water, as a rule within six or eight feet of the surface. Sufficient water to raise two crops of rice a year seems always to be available throughout the district.\n\nIt is probable that the high mountain ranges attract more rain clouds from the China Sea during the south-west monsoon than is the case at Hong Kong, where the average rainfall is 90 inches. Mr. Ormsby is of opinion that in many places the construction of storage reservoirs, if required, will be a simple matter. He considers that the construction of such a reservoir on the southern or eastern slope of Tai Mo Shan for the supply of Kowloon is very desirable, in order to meet the wants of the rapidly increasing towns on that peninsula, by gravitation, and thus set free the large acreage now reserved as a catchment area, and render it possible to dispense with the present expensive pumping establishment.\n\n## IRRIGATION\n\nIrrigation of the paddy fields is effected simply by leading the water along the sides of the hills by means of channels, from which the water is allowed to run on to the terraced fields as required. In addition to the ordinary paddy fields in the valleys, works of reclamation have been carried out, by which a large quantity of land has been reclaimed from the sea. Walls of rough rubble, backed by earth, have been constructed to keep out the water. Along the top of these embankments there is a foot path, and sluices made of timber planking sliding in grooves cut into the stone side walls enable the villagers to keep out the sea and get rid of their surplus fresh water at low tide. By the improvement and extension of such works of reclamation, many large areas could be brought under cultivation.\n\n## GEOLOGY\n\nAn interesting report by Mr. Ormsby on the geology of the district will be found in `Appendix II`.\n\nI agree with him that a mining expert should be deputed to examine and report on the minerals in the territory. There is no such expert at present resident in Hong Kong, so it will be necessary to secure the services of a suitable person at home.\n\n## SOIL\n\nThe soil is formed from the decomposition of volcanic trap rock in the north-east and east, and is alluvial in the broad valleys drained by the Sham Chun and Un Long rivers. It is generally fertile, and yields annually two crops of rice. Even the hillsides are in many places brought under cultivation, and rice was found growing at a height of over 1,200 feet.\n\nBy the Chinese the soil is divided into three classes, and is taxed according to its quality. The first class is supposed to pay about 36 cents per acre; the second class about 24 cents, and the third class about 15 cents per acre. In reality, fully double these amounts are levied, though not officially accounted for.\n\nPayment in kind is also made, but this payment is commuted for a money payment at the rate of 4.8 taels, or 6.67 dollars per picul of rice (a picul is equal to 1 bushel 2 pecks 2 quarts).\n\n## PRODUCTS\n\nRice is the principal article of cultivation,* and the quality of this product is so highly esteemed that a quantity of it is exported to San Francisco for the use of the Chinese residents there. There is also a large area of land devoted to the growing of sugar cane, indigo, hemp, peanuts, potatoes of different varieties, yam, taro, beans, sesamum, pumpkins, and vegetables of all kinds.\n\nExperiments are now being made to ascertain whether the cotton plant will flourish in the newly-leased area, and there seems to be no reason, as far as soil and climate are concerned, why these experiments should not succeed. If they are successful, the cotton mill which is now being erected in Hong Kong would find this a convenient source of supply for at any rate a portion of its raw material.\n\nPage 4\nPage 5\nPage 18", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 370133, "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": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "page_number": 216, "title": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "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.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 370375, "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": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "page_number": 458, "title": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "content_text": "## \n\n444 A \n\nHat Insinuation to Gaol in Their Ranks appears to be perpetrated with vindictiveness against him by Chemail, who but at the same time says: \n\nb. for him the longest proportion of the stay is comparable.

Proceed by launch or boat to the landing place just beyond the Cosmopolitan Docks for Cheung Sha Wai, where you will find a good path leading up over the hill to a not very high gap, on passing through which, keep to the right, as the road winds round the back of the range of high hills which on their southern front face Hongkong Harbour. After about two hours, having kept to the right all the way with a full view of Mirs Bay in the distance, you will suddenly come upon a good road leading up from the valley below. This is the main road over the range to Kowloon City; follow it and in less than two hours you should arrive at the ferry for Hongkong unless you are very tired when the launch can be taken from Kowloon City.\n\nR\n\nPROGRAMME No. 2.\n\nNOTE. When the passage of the Cap-Siu-Moon pass is contemplated it would be as well to consult the tide table; as, to attempt such passage in a Hakka boat on an ebb tide without the aid of a steam-launch would prove a very patience trying job.\n\nProceed to Castle Peak and on leaving the boat, give instructions as to her destination. If very early in the season land on the right hand side of the bay, (if later, say October, the left hand side might be used\n\n671\n\nas there are generally quail to be got within a few yards of the shore) taking the route as starred in the map, passing the village of Sau Ka Wai, immediately after which, snipe will be found in the paddy fields and on the marshes. The bed of a stream here sometimes proves useful for waterfowl and a little further on a small lagoon has been known to yield well, even to the blue heron. If the weather is not too hot and a full day is decided upon, we must proceed rapidly taking just the cream of the sport until the market village of Peang Shan is reached, thence across a low sort of pass where the range of hills on our right has all but fallen away. This brings us into the Shap-pat-Heung valley where we turn to the right and follow the red starred route, shooting at leisure, to the foot of the hills, taking a neat little pass which, as we approach, will be plainly visible. This pass lands us at the village of Un-tan where, according to the instructions given to the Hakka boat, we can proceed to Tai-Lam-Chung, or by the much shorter route to the village at the back of Ma-wan, thence to Hongkong in a couple of hours, according to tide.\n\nPROGRAMME No. 3.\n\nThis is, properly speaking, a picnic trip, and perhaps the most interesting out of Hongkong. Have an early breakfast and leave by steam-launch for Tsin Wan, about one hour's steaming—land by native boat in the bay and proceed through the village or on the embankment. It is a good plan to hire a village lad as a guide, who will also assist in carrying the tiffin basket, always keeping him on ahead.

When about half the way up you leave the main path for a sort of coolie track on the right, thereby making straight for what appears to be the summit. An hour's steady climb will undeceive you, as you will suddenly discover a further height apparently only a few hundred yards above. This is the final summit, having a little flat top about one acre in extent. The elevation here is nearly 1,200 feet above anything in the immediate neighbourhood, hence the view in all directions is unsurpassed. Tiffin should now be partaken of and after an hour's rest the descent may be commenced down the eastern slope of the hill through the village of Lam-Fong-To until the rocky bed of a stream is reached with several pretty cataracts as we proceed. We are soon again amongst the patches of cultivated soil on the hill sides, and shortly find ourselves in the village, where, if time permits, some native industries may be inspected. A dip from the launch if the water is not too cold will prove refreshing before steaming away for Hongkong.\n\nPROGRAMME No. 4.\n\nProceed over night to Deep Bay by steam-launch accompanied by a sampan and a small punt or dingy. Instruct steam-launch as to destination. Land at daybreak on the southern shore as near as possible to the village of San Wai which is situated close to a low hill and is well shaded by banyan trees. The very extensive paddy fields in this neighbourhood afford excellent cover for snipe, which in the early season are abundantly plentiful. Follow the beaten track skirting the many villages, direction almost due south, and with shooting all the way, you will, in a few hours, find yourself on the shores of Castle Peak Bay where your steam-launch should be in readiness to convey you back to Hongkong.\n\nPROGRAMME No. 5.\n\nThis is one of the longest and most important trips and should not be undertaken unless one is thoroughly fit.\n\nProceed by steam-launch, or having due regard to the tide, by Hakka boat accompanied by sampan, to Deep Bay, approaching as near to the head of the bay as soundings will allow. Rise at daybreak and after a substantial meal and the necessary arrangements for a like substantial tiffin to be consumed en route land from the sampan at the head of the first creek in the river on your right, about one mile from the entrance. Shooting begins immediately with water fowl; curlew, plover, duck, teal, and sometimes geese. Snipe are always to be found from August until March, and spring snipe even later. Having secured the quantum of such as the river, marshes and paddy fields have to offer, we must now strike inland, making for the nearest village, Maipo, where we may, if the season is well advanced add a few pigeons to the bag. From this point our tramp begins, skirting the base of the hills on our left and passing from village to village giving to each a modicum of our time and attention. About 10 o'clock should bring us to the ancient walled market town of Kam-Tin-Ho, a very formidable looking place, well situated in the centre of an extensive and beautiful valley. Here a halt might be called for half an hour. From this point, we proceed leisurely so as to tiffin at Ma-On-Kong which place we leave at 3 o'clock following the telegraph wires over the hills, until about 5.30 should find us in Tsin Wan, one hour from Hongkong by steam launch.

Being intimately acquainted with the matter in all its bearings, I have obtained the permission of Government to address you, and through you the public, including I should hope all or nearly all of the subscribers.\n\n3. The necessity for this arises from the fact that owing to what I may term an unfortunate resolution passed at a meeting of the Jubilee Committee on April 26th, 1897, and subsequent to which subscriptions towards the proposed memorials were received, the Committee feel bound to a course of action which seems most undesirable in the interests of all concerned, as I hope to be able presently to demonstrate.\n\n4. That resolution was as follows :- \"That the money so collected together with an equal amount promised by the Colonial Government be deposited at interest in the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank in the name of the Jubilee Committee, and be disbursed by them after paying for the local celebrations - one half towards the erection of the Hospital for Women and Children, and the training of nurses, and the other half towards the construction of the first section of the carriage road from Kennedytown to Aberdeen, which the Government undertakes to commence forthwith and to carry on the remaining portion of the road until completed.\"\n\n5. I emphasize the portion of the resolution which I term unfortunate in view of further experience and the present aspect of the question.\n\n6. I understand that legal opinion has been taken and that it is considered, as matters now stand, that work can only be commenced on the section of road between Kennedytown and Aberdeen and that until that section is completed nothing can be done towards constructing a carriage road between Aberdeen, Stanley, and Shaukiwan. But, at the same time, I believe it is admitted that a general meeting of subscribers can, if so disposed, or if it is the wish of the majority, rescind the latter portion of the above resolution, and leave it open to the Jubilee Committee, at whose disposal it must be understood the money now lies, to sanction commencement of the work elsewhere.\n\n7. Bearing in mind that what was desired as a carriage road round the island, the existing road from the city by Pokfulam to Aberdeen should not be ignored. The rise from Queen's Road level to Vaine Road or Bonham Road is necessarily steep, but the distance is short and the hill is by no means impracticable; from this to some distance beyond Douglas Castle the gradients are easy; then a short steep hill occurs, but one that can easily and at no great expense be improved; so that even now we have a fairly good carriage road six miles in length from the city to some distance beyond the Paper Mills at Aberdeen. By beginning at Shaukiwan or Aberdeen, or at both, the desired end would be much more rapidly attained than in any other way, and then would come the time to consider whether a level road round Mount Davis was worth the expense.\n\n8. A carriage road has been traced round the island, at such gradients as will meet with the approval of drivers, riders, and cyclists, an estimate has been framed and plans drawn, and it only remains to call for tenders and enter into contracts to ensure the work of construction being actively pushed on.\n\n9. The total length between Shaukiwan and Kennedytown is a little over 18 miles, which for convenience of working has been divided into three sections, namely, Shaukiwan to Stanley 7 miles, Stanley to Aberdeen 8 miles, Aberdeen to Kennedytown 5½ miles. The estimated cost of these sections respectively is $114,170.20, $95,406.00, and $145,612.80; total for the whole road $355,189.00, or an average of $19,199 per mile.\n\n10. The shortest section is much more difficult than either of the others; it passes along the precipitous rock-bound coast at the base of Mount Davis, involving an enormous amount of rock blasting and building, which is clearly indicated by the difference in estimated cost. Thus the average cost per mile from Shaukiwan to Stanley is $16,310, from Stanley to Aberdeen $11,901 (corrected from $15,901), and from Aberdeen to Kennedytown $26,475.\n\n11. The money now lying in the bank towards the construction of the road is about $92,000. This would suffice to make four miles from Shaukiwan towards Stanley, or nearly to Tytam Tuk, and two miles from Aberdeen towards Stanley to Deep-water Bay, the latter two miles including the reclamation of the Aberdeen tidal flat of evil repute, the bug-bear of Magazine Gap; or it would make the whole of No. 2 Section from Aberdeen to Stanley.\n\n12. The six miles I indicate first would provide a nearly level carriage road from Aberdeen to Deep-water Bay golf links, doing away with the steep circuitous existing bridle path by Little Hongkong, and at the other end would provide a carriage road of easy gradients from Shaukiwan to Tytam Tuk, thus avoiding some of the steepest and worst parts of the existing path round the island.\n\n13. In fact if, owing to lack of funds, nothing more was done for years, the circuit round the island would be enormously improved. The driver of carriages would have a good road from Victoria viâ Pokfulam and Aberdeen about 8 miles in length to Deep-water Bay golf links, and on the other side an equally good road from Victoria to Tytam Tuk, the centre of probably the most beautiful part of the colony, 14½ miles in length, while to the average cyclist the circuit of the whole island would be an easy matter, as the only portion of the old road to be negotiated would be that from Deep-water Bay to Tytam Tuk, quite half of which is easy going.\n\n14. I repeat that if the latter part of the above quoted resolution is rescinded, and the Committee give the Government a free hand, the money now in the bank will suffice to substitute for six of the worst and most difficult miles of the existing path, six miles of smooth well-graded carriage road 18 feet in width.\n\n15. Now to look at the other side, The money in the bank will pay for the making of about 3 miles from Kennedytown towards Aberdeen, say to form a junction between the large Plague Cemetery and the Sandy Bay Plague Cemetery, useful I will admit should there unfortunately be again necessity to enlarge and extend these burial grounds, but scarcely the drive that ladies and children or jaded city workers would select, bearing in mind that it is exposed to the full glare of the afternoon and evening sun and that it would lead nowhere but would have to be retraced in returning.\n\n16. Years would probably elapse before the $53,000 odd still necessary to complete this one section to Aberdeen could be spared from general revenue, and I may safely predict that none of the present generation would see the sections from Aberdeen to Stanley and Stanley to Shaukiwan opened to traffic.\n\n17. Whether it would be wise to render 5 miles of rock-bound coast, defended now by nature from the landing of enemies, more accessible to a possible foe, is a question for military experts; common sense seems to point to leaving it alone.\n\n18. I therefore, sir, would urge through your columns the calling together of a public meeting and a fresh expression of opinion on the part of the majority of the subscribers as to the disposal of the fund.\n\n- I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant,\n\nR.

(Hear, hear).\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER seconded.\n\nThe Hon. C. P. CHATER, C.M.G. — I have much pleasure in supporting the resolution, and in doing so, I may state that at a time like this when our gallant troops are freely shedding their blood, and when half the families of the United Kingdom and members of those in the Colonies are sending out some representative to take part in the struggle for supremacy in South Africa, Hongkong must not be backward in sending assistance. Our little quota of volunteers freely offered was not needed, it is true, but we can and we will contribute of our substance in helping the families of those who are fighting for our cause on the African veldt. This vote, as the Hon'ble the Colonial Secretary has said, will have the cordial approval of my unofficial colleagues and I am sure it will be endorsed by the official members of Council, and by the whole community. (Applause).\n\nThe Hon'ble Dr. HO KAI - I beg to support the vote which has been proposed and seconded. At the present emergency in South Africa, I think it is quite right that we should do something to show our actual sympathy and practical support. This vote will show the British Government that we in Hongkong are not behind in expressing our feelings in this substantial way.\n\nI am glad to be able to say that not only the British but the Anglo-Chinese community of this colony are well to the front in giving practical expression to their sympathy. Therefore, I have great pleasure in supporting the resolution. (Applause).\n\nThe Hon'ble E. E. BELILIOS, C.M.G. - The suggestion my colleague and senior unofficial member of the Council has made is one that will find general approbation in this colony. What he proposes this colony should do has been done in the Straits Settlements, and I am of opinion that though the contribution is a large one, the colony can afford it. If the money is to be fairly distributed, I fear it will be needed. The difficulties in the path of our brave soldiers are so exceedingly great, owing to the formation of the country and the mobile character of the enemy's forces, enabling them to move with great rapidity and occupy strategic positions that we have only too much reason to believe that thousands of valuable lives will be sacrificed before peace is attained. Seeing this to be the prospect, it behoves us to encourage our soldiers and to stimulate others to join the ranks, and show that the nation, in the event of the father falling in the discharge of his duty to his country, will at once protect his wife and little ones. At any rate, I am sure of this that the thought that the dear ones at home will be safely provided for will lift a load from the minds of the sick and dying soldier. Therefore, I have great pleasure in supporting this motion.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY the GOVERNOR — There are two motions before the Council. The first is that the Orders of the Day be set aside to allow of the second motion being put.\n\nThis was agreed to.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY the GOVERNOR - Now with regard to the motion that you have heard read, I think it only fair that the public should know that the generosity of the Unofficial members representing various sections of this community has gone even beyond the handsome vote of $50,000. The first proposal made to me by the senior unofficial member, with, I believe, the concurrence of his colleagues, was that this Council should vote a sum equal to the entire sum subscribed by the colony for this purpose. That sum, as you are aware, has reached $98,000; Still, I need hardly say I was obliged to ask for the concurrence of the Secretary of State in this matter, and on thinking it over, I came to the conclusion that this vote of $50,000 would be very handsome indeed. I suggested that to the Secretary of State, who, however, authorised a vote of $30,000. I replied that the unofficial members of this Council would be very much disappointed if they were not permitted to vote $50,000, to which the Secretary of State then gave his sanction. I think it well that the public should know that the unofficial members of this Council did not limit their generosity to the very munificent amount now to be voted but were quite prepared to vote a sum equal to that provided by all sections of the British and Chinese communities of this Colony. You will understand that the amount of money subscribed by the colony up to the present has been devoted exclusively to one fund - the Soldiers and Sailors' Families' Association branch of the Relief Fund. The Lord Mayor has pointed out that there are other funds. That particular fund has been very well looked after in England and elsewhere, and there are other funds which equally call for assistance. He suggests in case of further contributions which may be sent that it should be left to the discretion of the Lord Mayor to devote it to any particular fund that may be most in need of assistance. Therefore, it will be left to the discretion of the Lord Mayor and his Committee to devote the money to what purpose he thinks necessary. (Applause).\n\nThe motion was then carried unanimously.\n\nPage 120\nPage 121", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-298 - Governor Sir Blake Administrator Major Gen Gascoigne - 1900 [3-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 376045, "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": "CO129-298 - Governor Sir Blake Administrator Major Gen Gascoigne - 1900 [3-4]", "page_number": 247, "title": "CO129-298 - Governor Sir Blake Administrator Major Gen Gascoigne - 1900 [3-4]", "content_text": "# MEMORANDUM RE INLAND NAVIGATION\n\nIn order that the nature and meaning of these restrictions may be fully understood, it is necessary to enter into somewhat lengthy details, but the importance of the stake at issue will, we think, form ample apology for doing so. At the opening of the West River to foreign trade, two lines of steamers were started by us to engage in the carrying trade of it—one for the direct trade between Hongkong and Wuchow via Samshui and the \"ports of call\"; the other between Canton and Wuchow, also via Samshui and the \"ports of call.\" On the direct route, the advantage accruing to merchants from the payment of a fixed sum for import duty and transit dues, which franked their goods through to the remote parts of Yunnan and Kweichow, caused a considerable rush of imports to find their way in from Hongkong by water carriage instead of via the Pakhoi overland route, etc., which they had followed previous to the opening of the river. The lekin authorities have from time to time held out threats of reducing their import duty on goods, thus diverting them from foreign to native craft, but although the Canton provincial authorities have adopted these tactics with the success which usually characterizes their actions of this sort, there has been, up to date, no systematic attempt to extend them throughout the length of the West River, so that to a large extent, the competition we encounter, although keen, is but the natural result of rivalry in trade.\n\nWhen the inland waters of China were first declared to be open, a good deal of doubt existed as to the conditions under which the navigation of them would be allowed, and with a view to gaining information on this important point—important to us, not only from the expansion of trade that would result, but also that it might seriously modify the plans of vessels we were then contracting to have built—we applied to the Imperial Maritime Customs at Samshui to register the steamer Kongpak for inland navigation. After reference to Peking, this was refused by the Inspector-General of Customs, whose decision on the matter is given in the Samshui Commissioner's letter, copy of which is attached. While we still think that the privileges asked for might be accorded without danger to the safety of the revenue of China, we must at the same time admit that there are considerable difficulties in the way, and that probably the only effective way of meeting them would be to open Kongmoon or some other place situated at the mouth of the river as a treaty port, whence, and also from Samshui and Wuchow, after payment of duties, goods would be free to find their way inland, carried either by the importing or other steamer, as was found most convenient.\n\nSo far, we have only dealt with the effect the opening of waters has had on the direct trade with Hongkong, the craft engaged in which come under the heading of vessels engaged in trade with ports outside Chinese jurisdiction, and are therefore excluded from any direct participation in the benefits which should result therefrom. There still, however, remains the Canton-Wuchow trade, the steamers on which, being vessels engaged in inter-treaty-port trade, are also, by the Inspector-General's ruling, debarred from inland water privileges. It is to this decision, as affecting this class of vessel, that we would beg your most earnest attention, as we are of the unanimous opinion that if enforced, it will, as we have already stated, render the whole concession valueless.\n\nFrom the beginning, our vessels on the Canton-Wuchow line have been subjected to such restrictions that it seemed quite hopeless for them to attempt to compete with their more favoured Chinese rivals, who, by means of specially constructed lighters towed by steam-tug-launches, secure the great bulk of the cargo and, until recently, of the passengers. The system adopted at the treaty ports is for those lighters and their cargoes to come under the lekin administration, and the steam-tug, which is merely the means of propulsion and carries no cargo, comes under the M. Customs, a dual system of control, which gives the advantage of the quickness of steam transit and an elastic tariff for the payment of duty on the cargo carried on the lighters. Nor is it so much the fact that the lekin collected on this cargo is less than the one and a half duty which would be levied by the I.M. Customs if it were carried in our steamers, as it is that, if so carried, lekin taxes before shipment and after discharge would be payable in addition to the Customs duty and a half. The foregoing facts are only too well known and have been frequently commented on, notably by H.B.M. Consul at Canton in his trade report for 1897; but if further proof be needed, it is abundantly supplied by the fact that the only domestic trade of which we secure the carriage is a few piculs of goods between Samshui and Wuchow, whereas the merchants refuse to ship the same goods by our vessels between Wuchow and Canton, even although the freight charged be the same in both cases! That is to say, taxation and cost of transport being equal for both distances, they will ship by our vessels over the shorter one, but steadily refuse to do so over the longer one! The explanation of this is simple. At Samshui, by vigorous protests made at the opening of the port, the native goods carried in foreign vessels are to a certain extent exempt from lekin taxes before shipment and after discharge, while at Canton, the reverse is the case, and as the bulk of the domestic trade of the West River districts is destined for or comes from Canton, as being the great centre or mart of trade, the final result of this differential taxation is that our Chinese rivals secure the carriage of the whole of it. Nor does the evil stop at this, for knowing that our earnings must be made out of the carriage of foreign goods, into which, as far as the carrying in steamers between treaty ports goes, the question of taxation does not enter, they can either conform to our rates of freight and compete against us, or by lowering them slightly, get the monopoly of the carriage of these, as they do of the domestic trade.\n\nAlthough the subject of this representation is the disadvantages under which we suffer as British Shipping Companies engaged in the carrying trade of China, we will, for the moment, waive this question and look at it from the broader standpoint of trade in general. From the foregoing, it might be argued that, although we, as individual concerns, suffer, the free circulation of goods is facilitated by steam traffic. Were such the case, we might well find compensation for our losses in the general prosperity that would result, but it is only to the privileged few that permission is given to run this class of vessel, and any attempt to encroach on the monopoly thus secured, either on the part of Chinese or Foreign steamers, is rendered nugatory by differential duties in the manner we have shown.\n\nAgain, with the passenger traffic, the Chinese vessels had the option of using all routes connecting Canton with the West River, whereas we were confined to one only, laid down by the Customs, entailing an increase in the distance traversed of some thirty miles. They were also privileged to stop at any and all places en route for the embarking and disembarking of passengers or cargo, while we were confined to the four ports of call (See Canton Commissioner's Trade Report, 1897, pars. 4 and 7).\n\nThe question of opening the shorter routes to foreign vessels was made the subject of representation to H.M. Consul at Canton, but so scandalous had the disabilities under which we laboured become, and so heavy the losses incurred in running steamers practically empty, that the question of withdrawing them altogether from the trade was being seriously considered when the throwing open of the inland waters gave the I.M. Customs the chance, of which they gladly availed themselves, of attempting to place us on terms of equality with our opponents. This equality, in respect to the carriage of passengers, we now enjoy, and we were not without hopes that, by Clause 5 of the Supplementary Rules under Inland Steam Navigation... \n\nPage 246", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-298 - Governor Sir Blake Administrator Major Gen Gascoigne - 1900 [3-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 376062, "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": "CO129-298 - Governor Sir Blake Administrator Major Gen Gascoigne - 1900 [3-4]", "page_number": 264, "title": "CO129-298 - Governor Sir Blake Administrator Major Gen Gascoigne - 1900 [3-4]", "content_text": "**King Kong Confidential File**\n\n**Government use only**\n\n31 March 1900\n\nWith reference to your open dispatch of ...\n\nThis date upon the subject of the waste...\n\nAdmiral ...\n\nRev.

It would be more in accordance with modern practice to remove it from beneath the bank, constructing it as a tunnel. In determining its section, provision should be made for carrying off the perennial flow of the streams, and even of considerable floods, during construction. It will scarcely be possible to complete the dam during one dry season. If it be not carried up to the full height before the first monsoon so that the permanent bywash can come into play, then during the monsoon the incomplete dam may be overtopped, and if earth be the constructive material, considerable damage will result. One of the advantages of concrete is that if an incomplete dam is overtopped, no serious damage ensues. If a masonry dam is adopted, the arrangement at Tytam may be followed.\n\n(7) The size of overflow should be proportioned to the area of gathering ground in the ratio which obtains at Tytam. This sufficed to carry off the extraordinary flood of 1889, one that is not likely to be exceeded. According to the figures given in the report, the area of overflow will probably suffice.\n\n(8) The proposed arrangement of filter beds and service reservoirs, is as far as can be seen from the plans, thoroughly sound; also the proposed distributary-system.\n\n## Madonment of bld works.\n\n(9) The existing works will doubtless be abandoned ultimately, if for no other reason, because the gathering ground will be wanted for occupation.

The education of a boy or girl depends in the main on two elements. The direct instruction given and received; and the indirect influences under which a child is placed whilst receiving that education. In the master and mistress of the Kowloon School, Mr. and Mrs. James, the community and the Government have warrant and assurance both as to the teaching itself and as to the indirect influences under which that teaching will be given. Mr. James is known in the Colony. The efficient service he rendered at Queen's College and the position he won there in the esteem of masters and boys points him out as the right man in the right place. (Applause) In Mrs. James, whose high qualifications and experience fit her for the task she has undertaken, the Government has secured an accomplished schoolmistress. The success of the school should be manifest from the beginning and should be greater as Mr. and Mrs. James continue their labours, which we trust they may be spared to do during many years. Your Excellency will observe that in this building everything is provided that may contribute to the discipline, comfort, and decency of the school.\n\nI think we are justified in the hope and expectation that the institution will prosper, that Mr. Ho Tung will see his generous gift used to the best advantage, that here will be trained many loyal patriots, faithful citizens, and good men and women, who by the instruction they receive in this school will be fitted to adorn any station in life to which they may be called, and so contribute largely to the well-being and prosperity of the Colony. (Applause) Mr. Ho Tung will now, with your Excellency's permission, hand over the school building to you for behoof of the Colony. (Applause.)\n\nMr. HO TUNG said—Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen.—It is not quite two years ago since His Excellency Sir Henry Blake was pleased to perform the first public function in connection with the building standing before us now, by laying its foundation stone on the 20th July, 1900. And to-day, in the absence of His Excellency in England in connection with that most auspicious occasion for the whole of the British people, the coronation of our King, your Excellency as Officer Administering the Government has kindly consented to identify yourself with its next most important function—the formal opening of the institution which will hereafter be known as the Kowloon School. It is specially pleasing that this ceremony can be associated with Your Excellency's temporary administration, inasmuch as your presence here to-day furnishes a practical evidence of your Excellency's desire to pursue the same progressive policy in the matter of education which His Excellency Sir Henry Blake keenly advocates. This manifestation on the part of your Excellency of a sympathy not only with the material but also with the intellectual advancement of the young people of this Colony, is, I feel sure, very highly appreciated.\n\nI have now the honour and the pleasure to hand to you, sir, the key and to ask you formally to open the Kowloon School. In handing the building over to the Government I cannot but express my sense of very great pleasure that this small gift to the Colony of Hongkong has been accepted as a result of a satisfactory compromise between the Government and myself. There can be no doubt that the ultimate issue of this compromise will be the better education of the Chinese in the Peninsula—a betterment commensurate with the success which must inevitably follow the enthusiasm evinced by the parents of those children for whom this school is to be maintained. I see Mr. James, the Headmaster of the Kowloon School, is here present to-day. He will, no doubt, see that his school places within the reach of the youths of Kowloon easy means for the acquisition of knowledge: one, I say, of the ends of the educational efforts of our schools and colleges. But above all, I trust that he will regard as its chief end the formation of these right moral habits which experience has shown to be of real value in maintaining a true manhood, in the midst of the traps, pitfalls, and allurements of modern life, and without which an essential part of a true education will have failed of attainment.\n\nBy a true and complete education is meant that education which has been defined as \"a growth, a development, an evolution\" (using the term evolution in a restricted sense) \"of all the possibilities which God has implanted in our nature; the unifying of these possibilities subordinating them all to the control of the will; in short, the crystallisation of all these possibilities into a pure and noble character.\" The acquisition of such an ideal education is, as one must be only too conscious, difficult of accomplishment; but nothing really worth having can be obtained without some earnest effort: and these efforts must be directed not by teachers only but by parents and pupils themselves with whom rest the power and the will to justify the establishment and the maintenance of the very first institution in the Colony to inaugurate an important departure from the path hitherto pursued in regard to education in Hongkong. (Applause.)\n\nIt is now my honour and privilege to ask you to accept this key with which to open the school and this tray as a souvenir of the occasion. (Applause.)\n\nThe key, made of silver, bore the following inscription: \"Kowloon School, opened 19th of April, 1902, by His Excellency Major-General Sir William Julian Gascoigne, K.C.M.G., Officer Administering the Government of Hongkong.\" A similar inscription appeared on the silver tray.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY—Mr. Ho Tung and gentlemen, I can assure you it has been a very great pleasure and privilege to me to be asked to come here to-day to take part in this ceremony—a ceremony unique of its kind, inasmuch as I understand that this is the first civil European school that has been opened not only in Kowloon but in the Colony of Hongkong. I can assure you, Mr. Ho Tung, that I have watched with a great deal of interest the growth of this building from the time that His Excellency Sir Henry Blake two years ago laid the foundation stone, and I was looking forward with considerable anticipation to the day when the last stone would be laid and the building declared open to those pupils for whom it was intended; and I feel I am extraordinarily lucky in that that day has occurred during my short term of administering the Government.\n\nLadies and gentlemen, there are certain features about this school I should wish to call special attention to. This school originates in the magnificent generosity of a gentleman—a Chinese gentleman by birth and a British subject—who has identified himself in every way with the interests of the community. Well, the gift to begin with was a magnificent one. But after the gift had been made it was thought by the Government—I thought—I should approach Mr. Ho Tung with a view to modifying in some way the conditions on which it was first presented. Well, ladies and gentlemen, when any one makes a very handsome gift and then after it has been accepted the person accepting it begins to make conditions, it would be not natural perhaps that the giver might have a certain feeling, not perhaps of annoyance, but a sort of feeling of surprise. On the contrary, Mr. Ho Tung, having heard the arguments of the Government, with a liberal-minded generosity that I think is seldom surpassed, at once came into these views.\n\nWe approached him somewhat diffidently, but he met us more than half way, with the result that this school—this magnificent school as it appears to me—which you see now, is to be used by European children, and the Government, on its side, has pledged itself to take care of the Chinese resident in the neighbourhood. So that Mr. Ho Tung in his munificent generosity has not only got what he desired, a school that would benefit Europeans and Chinese alike, but he has met the Government in a double sense; and I feel sure that such an exhibition of generosity, liberal-minded generosity, will appeal most strongly to every one of my hearers to-day. I congratulate you most heartily, Mr. Ho Tung, on the site you have chosen.

Distant though we are from that impressive scene, we who live in this far-off portion of your Empire, the Masons of Hong Kong, reverently desire to join in the solemn yet happy wishes of the hour, and to add to those of others our own profound congratulations.\n\nBack in the cycle of time, a thousand years and more before the Christ was born, there in the Holy City, was built the temple of Solomon the King. In Nature's earth deep were its foundations laid, and slowly rose its majestic walls, its stately columns, the gate they called the Beautiful, the exquisite semblances of flowers and fruits and palms, the wondrous roof of gold and spikes of precious metal, wrought and fashioned all by the craftsmen of the time, and tested in their places with the level, the plumb, and the square. Upwards, ever upwards, under the guiding care of our Grand Master Hiram the Architect did the sacred pile progress, until the work was done and beneath the wings of the sculptured Cherubim rested the Ark of the Covenant in the mansion of the Triune God. Thereafter, from man to man, from the monarchy to the serf, from the strong to the weak, from the old to the young, down the path of time, Masonry passed through the Ages, bearing on its banners the profession of the faith, the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, until jewelled with charity, a priceless gem, it reached the Masons of to-day.\n\nSo, as the Temple emerged from disorder to order, from shapeless materials to symmetry, and perfect art, as the Brotherhood grew from its infancy of the past to its manhood of the present, the Monarchy of Britain has advanced through hundreds of years from the tumults and unrest of the darker ages to the system of right and law which is now Great Britain's heritage. From the Monarchs before the Conquest to the dynasty of the Normans, from the Plantagenets to the Standards of the Roses, from the Tudors and the Stuarts to the Hanoverians, it has been built stone by stone and arch by arch, until to-day, on foundations which have borne it through the stress of the centuries and the burden of everlasting time, with walls which are cemented by freedom and columns which rest on the rock of truth, England's Monarchy sits on England's throne, the symbol of justice to all who shelter beneath its flag, and the haven where, secure from storms, ride the argosies of humanity laden with all that man considers his dearest and his best.\n\nTo members of the Craft Your Majesty's Coronation is of especial interest, for we are privileged to call you one of our Brethren. In 1869 You were installed Grand Master of the Templars of the United Kingdom, and in 1873, Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England. Nor did the sympathy in Masonry of England's Royal Blood stop at your assumption of this high office, for His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, following your footsteps, has embraced the precepts of the Order and succeeded you as Grand Master.\n\nAlthough enrolled in our Masonic ranks are many who, not being subjects of the British Crown, owe their loyalty to other Powers, we all are fettered by fraternity's bond, and in brotherly affection and deep respect we venture to hold out to your Majesty the hand of fellowship across the seas and send you greetings from the East, joining in prayer to the Great Architect of all that He will have your welfare in His keeping until the hour, predestined by the King of Kings, when through mortality's portals you will pass to the Eternal Elohim, and hear for evermore the Voice that said “Let there be light.”\n\nHere followed signatures.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY formally accepted the Address.\n\nThis Address, which was about the same size as that from the general community, was bound in Royal purple and heavily mounted in gold. The centre piece was the Royal Arms; in the corner-pieces the design consisted of the shamrock, thistle, and rose, intertwined with compasses and set-square and with the Chinese emblem which carries with it wishes for long life. The inside lining of the cover was electric blue. The Address was printed in blue and gold. At the top of the first page—the Address ran to four—was the Masonic emblem for the square and compasses. The border contained the four national emblems already mentioned, with the Masonic between them. The Address, which was encased in a suitable box, was also the work of Messrs. Kelly & Walsh.\n\nHon. Dr. H. KAI next approached the Governor's table to present the Chinese Address. He said—May it please your Excellency, I have the honour to present on behalf of the Chinese Community an humble address to His Most Gracious Majesty King Edward VII, our Sovereign Lord. The address has been prepared in joyous anticipation of His Majesty's Coronation. It is composed in Chinese and carved on wood. An English translation of it is contained in this silver casket, and we would respectfully request your Excellency to forward both to His Majesty for his gracious acceptance. The Chinese Inhabitants of this Colony are over sensible of the many and immense benefits they have received from the British Crown; they acknowledge with gratitude their heavy indebtedness to the British Government for much of their happiness, prosperity, and advancement; they cherish with profound reverence and lasting affection the memory of our late beloved Queen Victoria the Great and Good; and they look forward to the Coronation of Their Majesties the King and Queen with great and exceeding joy. All His Majesty's loyal Chinese subjects in this Far Eastern Colony have learnt with sorrow and deep sympathy the recent illness of their King, and they earnestly pray that His Majesty may, under the blessing of heaven, be speedily restored to health. They desire most respectfully to assure His Majesty of their devotion and loyalty to his person and throne, and they humbly pray that His Majesty may have a long, happy, peaceful, and glorious reign. I crave your Excellency's permission to read the English translation of the Address.\n\nHon. Dr. Ho KAI went on to read the Address as follows:-\n\nA Humble and Reverend Address presented to HIS MAJESTY KING EDWARD THE SEVENTH of the United Kingdom, of Great Britain and Ireland, by the Chinese Community of Hongkong.\n\nOn the twenty-sixth day of the month of June, in the year 1902, the ceremony of Your Majesty's Coronation will be celebrated. Throughout the circuit of the wide world, on whatever place the sun and moon shine, wherever, by land or by sea, the British Flag floats, there will not be one household that will not be filled with worship, there will be no one who will not join in singing songs of joy and praise. From far and near all will unite in wishing Your Majesty a long life in which to make your people happy and prosperous.\n\nThe pen of the readiest writer would fail to give full expression to the feelings of affection and loyalty which stir the hearts of Your Majesty's Chinese subjects in Hongkong. But, with a humble obeisance, we venture in this hymn of praise to touch upon what we feel.\n\nDivine was the wisdom of Her Majesty the Late Queen. She drew men of all nations to her by her kindness; she treated those from afar with benevolence. Her fame reached to the East and to the West. The innermost hearts of all were moved by it. Not even by the sages of antiquity were her virtues equalled.\n\nYour Majesty has inherited her justice and Her wisdom, Eternal good will spring from this succession of virtues.\n\nMajestic was Her late Majesty's renown; her dominions were enlarged, and from far and near willing homage was paid to her. Under her rule the sea slept smooth as glass, the land rested undisturbed, Her armies maintained peace and kept inviolate the circle of her kingdom.\n\nStanding at her side Your Majesty has learnt the truth of the maxim that firmness and kindness are equally necessary to ensure success. Her late Majesty had closely at heart the development of commerce. She well knew that food is all-important to the people, and that riches make a nation strong, that unless the granaries and storehouses were well filled her subjects could not be protected nor civilisation and righteousness promoted and maintained.\n\nYour Majesty has learnt the secret of...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-312 - Acting Governor Major Gen Sir Gascoigne Governor Sir Blake - 1902 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 386101, "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": "CO129-313 - Governor Sir Blake - 1902 [10-12]", "page_number": 181, "title": "CO129-313 - Governor Sir Blake - 1902 [10-12]", "content_text": "## DESPATCH\n**C.O. 40710**\n\nin Hang Kay,\" a trawlmift sport rich accomfamid you desf.

This question seriously affects all in the Colony, with the exception possibly of the natives, who may be affected in a lesser degree, or who may conceivably benefit to some extent from the cheaper silver, but I take it that what we are chiefly concerned to consider is how any such proposed change as a resort to a gold basis, or other means of arriving at a fixity of exchange, is likely to affect the trade of the place as a whole, a question of the most complex nature, and one requiring the deepest insight of the most learned experts in such matters. It appears to me that there is too great a disposition shown on the part of some writers in the public Press to ignore or to gloss over the serious difficulties in the way, and to propound measures which sound alarmingly simple, but which would be totally unworkable in actual practice, whilst others give utterance to vague complaints that \"something must be done,\" but at the same time suggest no remedy. Naturally, we are all prone to look at things from our own personal point of view. I feel quite assured, if our dollars are to be demonetised, and the currency placed on a gold basis, there will be a fearful bill to meet in disposing of our demonetised currency, which is estimated at many millions—how many millions there are some of our banking friends may possibly be able to guess—and how this loss is to be met I cannot well conceive, nor do the complainants in the papers venture to suggest, at all events they are discreetly silent on the point. I doubt very much whether the Government would foot such a bill. This is one of the \"Lions in the path\"—and a monster he is—which complainants should first show us their ideas about disposing of. We should no doubt each of us like to see our dollars converted into a fixed sterling sum, possibly above today's parity, but the great question with which we here are concerned is, would that benefit or ruin our trade as a whole? We seem, from the nature of things, inextricably bound up with China in the matter of trade and currency, and till that great Empire goes \"Gold\" I fail to see how we can take such a course. \"What is one man's meat is another man's poison,\" and so, as in previous years was pointed out to our Singapore friends, \"the positions occupied by the two Colonies are very different.\"\n\nMy own personal view, therefore, is that, although a gold basis would no doubt benefit many individuals here, the Colony, from its peculiar situation, would inevitably suffer, and heavily so, in its trade by adopting any other currency than that in which the foreign trade with China is conducted, and that if a change be made, we shall see a gradual setting away from us of the trade to ports and places on the mainland with a gradual tendency to leave Hongkong like a ship stranded on a reef with the tide gone down. That would not in the end benefit the individual, and would be a very great calamity indeed to the Colony at large. Then, how would the adoption of a gold basis suit the native traders of the place? I am quite prepared to hear some of the public urge that this is a British Colony and that in such matters the native does not require much or any consideration as against the foreigners' necessities or requirements, but, as Government assistance would be necessary before any such change could be brought about, I do not for a moment think that the interests of the native traders would be ignored, but that they would be given the fullest weight to, and, if I do not misjudge the position, I hazard the opinion that the interests of the natives here are bound up with cheap silver, and, since they would have in one way or another to pay their share of the heavy cost of demonetizing the dollar, to which I have already referred, is it at all likely, as things are, that such a change would be brought about, or assented to by the Government to the damage of the native trading interest? As to the chances in favour of China \"going gold\" there are so many factors to be taken into consideration that one would require to write volumes, and have a vast store of special knowledge to deal with such a mighty problem. As regards the liquidation of her foreign gold indebtedness, the institution of a gold currency would at first seem to simplify matters, but, with all her currency arrangements in such a chaotic state, and the general backwardness of her fiscal and other institutions, I hardly think anyone is bold enough to tackle such a problem just now, nor in the future until unheard of reforms can be introduced. For the present at all events it appears to me that her interests are entirely bound up in silver, as she can only hope in the end to pay for her imports and indebtedness by her exports, and with cheap silver these last are placed in a position of unique advantage vis-a-vis those of the gold-using countries of the world. There can be no doubt that the present low price of silver will stimulate the export trade of China (although that may be a plant of slower growth than we should like to see) and as a consequence China must absorb more and more of white metal, and same should at least have a steadying effect on our exchange. The Straits Settlements may decide to adopt gold, but I submit that their position as a country with steady and valuable exports is so different from that of our small island with absolutely no production of our own to speak of that we cannot possibly follow unless the lead is taken by China, of which country, for all practical purposes, we are simply the principal southern port. Currency questions are usually considered to be work for experts, but I think there can be little doubt that these would all, for once, have no difficulty in agreeing to this, viz.—That Hongkong is in no position to dream of a standard for herself apart from China. I have endeavoured in the foregoing to give some of my views, but am ready to avow that the subject is one which calls for much more insight and special knowledge than I possess, and is one about which even experts of the first rank might possibly be found to differ, so I am quite prepared to find much diversity of opinion on the part of the general body of our members, as well as among the public generally in spite of the conclusions we may arrive at round this Committee table. I shall be glad to listen to any views on this subject which you, gentlemen, may choose to express. I must add that Mr. Shewan has written a letter to the Secretary regretting his inability to attend the meeting today, but has been good enough to write down his views on this subject, which are as follows:\n\n\"I am in favour of a gold currency for all countries except for Hongkong until China adopts either a gold currency or a gold standard. If we adopted a gold currency in Hongkong, the exchange banks would be driven to open Branches and do their business in Canton, and with the departure of bank business, other business would follow, and the result would be that the trade and industries of Hongkong would suffer a severe blow. The prosperity of this Colony has been built upon very slight foundations, and I do not think we should be wise in running any risk of hurting it.\n\n\"Whatever Singapore may decide to do is no criterion for Hongkong. The conditions there are different from those here. They chiefly depend upon countries using a gold standard, but we upon a country using silver exclusively.\n\n\"I fully sympathise with those people of moderate means who particularly feel the pressure of increased cost of living. This, however, will only be temporary, wages out here have risen and will continue to rise as the sterling value of the dollar falls, and if a man receives for his dollar less to remit home than he did before, he will, on the other hand, have more dollars with which to buy his remittance, so the thing remains as broad as it is long. As the sterling value of silver falls, so, I think, will the cost in dollars of labour and commodities and though in a lesser degree perhaps, of land and other property, rise. These conditions will thus continue to adjust themselves until the limit, which cannot be very far off now, is reached.\"\n\nThe **VICE-CHAIRMAN**—As Mr. Smith was not present at the last meeting when the subject was under discussion, I suggest that he might give the Committee his opinions regarding same from a banker's point of view.\n\n**MR. SMITH** Speaking generally, I am in accord with the views just expressed by the Chairman, whose remarks appeared to me to cover most of the ground. Looking at the question more particularly from an exchange and financial standpoint it must not be forgotten that a large portion of the internal trade between North and South China is financed through Hongkong, and that practically the whole of the great trade of Canton and South China with other countries is at present centred here; the possession and retention of which is of vital importance. Currency flows to and from Canton freely according to the movements of trade and the state of the money markets, and I am strongly of opinion that the adoption of a monetary standard in Hongkong different from that of China would not benefit this Colony as a great commercial centre, but would inevitably result in that all-important trade gradually leaving Hongkong.\n\n**MR. WILCOX** asked how many millions of dollars would be let loose in this Colony if the Straits Settlements started a gold currency.\n\n**MR. SMITH** replied that he was not in a position at the moment to give an accurate estimate; he did not know how they would be dealt with there.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** put the question whether the Committee wished to depart from the attitude of the Chamber expressed in the letter to the Singapore Chamber in 1897.\n\nThe **VICE-CHAIRMAN**—When the matter was discussed at the last Committee Meeting it was agreed that nothing had arisen to alter the position then taken up and that this special meeting has been called to give the absent members a chance to discuss the matter and to decide whether it was advisable to get the opinion of the whole of the Chamber in general meeting, and also, in the event of a general meeting being called, whether the Committee should express their views on the subject for the consideration of the members as a whole.\n\n**HON.

That experiment, he assured them, had not been undertaken from mere curiosity, but from an anxious desire to investigate into this scourge of plague, whose annual recurrence carried away so many valuable lives and inflicted such injury upon the business of the Colony. He ventured to enter upon that experiment because he felt that as a layman he might dare to attempt that from which professional men would probably shrink. For over ten years now, plague had swept over the Colony annually, like a typhoon, sweeping away thousands in its path, and before its ravages, sanitary precautions and medical science had alike been ineffectual.\n\nAs regarded the memorandum, His Excellency proceeded, he might therein have said something that perhaps some of those present thought would have been better left unsaid, but he was of opinion that in framing it, it would be better both for the public and for them that nothing should be omitted which might render more complete or effective any arrangements made for carrying on the business of fighting this epidemic in the future. To begin with, he was quite satisfied that no sanitary arrangements which could be made would ever be efficiently or economically carried out until the co-operation of the people had been secured.\n\nHere, as elsewhere, it had been the habit to say that this co-operation of the people was not possible, that it could not be attained. The speaker had been intimately associated with the government of all sorts and conditions of men, from his own mercurial countrymen to the Esquimaux of the Far North of Labrador, the negro of the West Indies, and now the representatives here of the Chinese race, whose civilisation had existed for thousands of years longer than ours; and he found that if the people were only approached in a proper spirit, they could be induced to follow the course marked out for them. Human nature was very much the same, in the East as in the West.\n\nAs Shylock said-\"If you prick me, will I not bleed; if you tickle me, will I not laugh; if you poison me, will I not die; if you wrong me, will I not avenge?\" In Labrador, the nomad Esquimau had been taken possession of by sympathetic action; the Moravian Mission established there had, by its exertions, transformed these nomad Esquimaux, who possessed among themselves no elements of higher feeling, into a respectable, law-abiding, trading community.\n\nWhilst in the West Indies, continued His Excellency, he remembered that a great scare of cholera occurred in the Bahamas. There, all the water was procured from surface wells, which were very dirty. The general idea was that the position was desperate, because the islands were inhabited by a primitive population of negroes. His Excellency got those people together and asked them to do something for themselves. He explained to them where the danger was and told them what to do - to get their wells cleaned and keep them clean. Arrangements to that end were carried out; the wells were cleaned and made perfectly safe.\n\nIn Jamaica, as in most places, the negroes were very improvident; their farming was conducted on very primitive lines, and they had no idea of progress. Here again, they were got together; an agricultural society, with small branches, was established; leading local men gave their assistance, and trained men were secured to teach the negroes what they ought to do. Now, that agricultural society at Jamaica was the most flourishing institution in the island; the people were improving their methods, and the island was becoming more and more prosperous.\n\nIn Hongkong, His Excellency said, they had been faced with the same conditions; they were face to face with a great difficulty, but they entered upon their task with the determination to leave nothing undone that money could accomplish in the effort to try to reduce the ravages that plague was responsible for. That the Colony had not been skimped in the matter of sanitation would be realised when it was stated that in 1897, the expenditure on sanitation was about $96,000; in 1898, in round numbers, it was $105,000; and the estimated expenditure for next year was $181,000. Nobody, therefore, could say that money had been spared or denied on sanitation in Hongkong, but so far as concerned this particular disease - plague - we were just where we were in 1897.\n\nThe people, however, were now more inclined to extend their help, but there still existed a doubt, a suspicion, a distrust of authority that was not confined to the Chinese alone, but was really found in certain classes in all countries. It was His Excellency's experience in other countries that if the people were approached in the proper spirit and trusted a little way, they would respond, and if the gentlemen present read the memorandum placed before them, they would find that in that small area in the Western district handed over to His Excellency, an area picked out as being amongst the worst in the Colony, and inhabited by a very poor class of Chinese, the people did respond, and responded most satisfactorily.\n\nHe had no hesitation in saying, went on His Excellency, that the co-operation and activity of the kaifong were worthy of any people of their class in any country. It behoved them, it behoved the members of the Sanitary Board, as the people in whose hands the carrying out of sanitary...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-318 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [7-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 389443, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-318 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [7-10]", "page_number": 346, "title": "CO129-318 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [7-10]", "content_text": "# 343\n\n**DESPATCH.**\n\n**C.O.**\n\n32761 **RECU**\n\nNo. 32761\n\nAss! **SEP 03**\n\nGovernor.

French Railway.\n\nIn April there were three French survey camps along the proposed new railway, tracing from Mengtse viâ A-Mi and I Liang to Yunnan-fu. I learn that nothing really definite has been decided as to what route the railway is to take from Mengtse to Yunnan-fu, and I should not be surprised if in a few months the plans are all changed again. It seems, however, to be decided that the line to be adopted from Laokai up to the Yunnan plateau is to be the Nan Hsi route, and not the Hsin Hsien route selected by M. Doumer. The Viceroy Ting is obstructing; he wants to see a plan of the Nan Hsi route before he will consent to a service road being made there. The French reply that the country is under dense jungle, and that no plan can be made unless they are allowed first to cut a path; \"but the path may disturb the graves,\" replies the Viceroy, and so on.\n\nMeanwhile the money of the \"Compagnie des Constructions des Chemins de Fer\" flows like water.\n\nComplaints are rife in Tonquin that an excessive number of Italians have been imported into this concern. \"We are ruined by Italian cheap labour\" is the cry. It was the same in Algeria, Turkey, and Asia Minor; nothing could be done without the Lombards. These people are skilled workmen of a special character. They are temperate, thrifty, and avoid rows about native women; they can handle either a theodolite or a shovel, and can teach unskilled native labourers how to use a pick or a spade. If they are discarded the railway scheme becomes more nebulous than ever, and the labour difficulty already serious will become acute.\n\nThere have been some unimportant collisions between the French and the people at A-Mi Chou,\n\n3. Frontier.\n\nThe frontier districts on the Chinese side are in a state of confusion. Serious raids over the frontier into Burmah have, I am happy to say, wholly ceased, and the indemnity of 26,000 rupees for damages sustained by British villages up to January 1902, has been fully paid by the Teng-yueh officials. Cattle-lifting, pony-stealing, and a few broken heads, continue to be reported from time to time, but from the international point of view the state of the frontier is much better than it was two years ago. The Bhamo-Teng-yueh-Ta Li trade route has remained open and quiet but the internal condition of the Chinese Shan and Kachin districts is one of anarchy. In the Shan Chinese States of Meng Wan and Meng Mao which border on Bhamo district, the native Chiefs are at war with their hill Kachins; many villages have been burnt and Chinese troops have gone to the spot nominally to attempt to restore order, but more probably to join in and increase the general confusion. These Kachins, I have good authority for believing, are anxious to make their submission to the British, but as they are on the Chinese side of the frontier, such an idea is not to be encouraged.\n\nKeng Ma, a Chinese Shan State, near the Kun Long Ferry, was in April raided by a number of Wild Wa head-hunters from the hills on the east of the Salwen. These warriors consider the head of an old woman shot sitting in a padi-field to be as valuable as the head of an enemy killed in fair fight, and my information is that Keng Ma has been much cut up by this raid and by a sort of civil war with its neighbour State of Meng Ting. Chinese troops have been sent from Mien Ning.\n\nFurther south, the Chen Pien Sub-Prefecture, west of Pu Erh city in south-west Yunnan, is the scene of a general revolt against the extortions of local Mandarins by the La, Lobei, and Shan tribes. The Assistant Sub-Prefect was murdered in March, and the other officials took to their heels. The Pu Erh Taotai died early in March, and Hu, the new Taotai, has declined to leave Yünnan-fu for his post on the ground that \"there is money in it, and considerable personal risk.\"\n\nThe Upper Red River, north of Laokay, or rather north of Lung Po, after which place both banks are in Chinese territory has been the scene of numerous piracies which for about three weeks in April blocked the trade route to Manhao and Mengtse, to the benefit of Teng-yueh merchants who took up caravans of foreign goods to Yunnan-fu by the Bhamo Ta Li route at a heavy profit.\n\nIt is clear that a bale of yarn is not an object that a Chinaman can carry off without being noticed, and it is notorious that these piracies on the Upper Red River are worked in collusion with the petty local Mandarins who are supposed to protect the trade. It is only the \"dead-beats\" of Yunnan officialdom who will go to the unhealthy Red River ports of Manhao, Ho ko'u, &c., and they expect, if they do go, to make money by opening gambling dens, smuggling, and if occasion serve, pirating on their own account.\n\nThe result is that the scum of the earth has settled down at those places and constant disturbances occur. The present Viceroy takes no action in such cases and the remonstrances of the French Consul have not been of a very energetic character. The fact is that he uses these frontier Mandarins to give him secret information regarding the proceedings of the French Colonial authorities, and he therefore winks at their mal-practices, all the more so as the trade which suffers is really Hong Kong trade.\n\nIn other matters the French Consular authorities seem lately to have adopted a policy of shutting their eyes to the \"squeezes\" and abuses practised by the Chinese officials, hoping thereby to gain the goodwill of the Mandarins and disarm opposition to the railway. I understand that the French Consul-General supported the Chinese in the resistance which they have offered to the removal of the exactions against which I have been protesting.\n\nTaotai Wei was absent on duty at Kwang Nan in the south-east of the province when the Red River trade route became blocked. I suggested that he should proceed to Mengtse, which he did, and as he is a man of energy, he soon succeeded in putting things straight.\n\nFor the present Yünnan continues to be free from Kwang-si rebels, but part of the Kwang Nan district has been depopulated, and trade with Canton by the West River continues to be at a standstill.\n\nA sketch map is attached.\n\nSketch of part of Burmah-Yünnan Frontier, to illustrate Memorandum on Yünnan Affairs.

Burmah gets the off-sweepings of Yunnan in the way of ponies-the halt, the maimed and the blind.\n\nAt present, for ponies, the best, but probably also the dearest, market is Yünnan-fu itself, where there is a much wider choice of animals than anywhere else.\n\nAt Hsia Kuan the number of ponies sold is small, but all over the part of Yunnan which I traversed, ponies and mules are bred in considerable numbers, and hardly any village is so poor as not to have a few ponies and donkeys.\n\nThe Chien Chang (south-west) corner of Szechuan is also an important pony-breeding ground, and I have seen a very few mules from the same district which would, I think, be large enough for batteries, prices asked being 60 to 80 taels (now 120 to 160 rupees).\n\nI also met several caravans of ponies (30 to 50 in each) en route from the Chien Chang to Burmah via the Kun Long Ferry; many were mares in foal, and for the rest their obvious destiny was to draw a ticca gharry in Mandalay. There is a steady movement of animals from these districts down to Yung Chang and Teng Yueh to supply transport for the Burmah and the salt trades. It is, however, very hard to get exact numbers, because animals are mostly privately sold, and not exposed on the open market, so as to avoid those official exactions which ruin the internal trade of China, and especially of Yunnan. One dealer, who was taking ponies to Mandalay from Hui Li, in the Chien Chang, told me that by dodging the cities and markets he managed to get across the province without paying taxes more than five times, or, in all, 4 rupees per beast, which represents about 12 per cent, ad valorem at his home.\n\nAt Hoching, five days north of Ta Li, there is a specially good class of mule engaged in the salt trade. He is hardly big enough for a battery, but he carries 215 lbs. over very severe mountain roads an average of 15 miles a-day, day in and day out.\n\nBut the main source at present of the Burmah pony supply is Chung Tien, ten days north of Ta Li, across the Yang-tsze, the inhabitants of which are Thibetans known as Ku Tsung men. I have not yet been able to visit their country, but it is stated to supply a large number of a strong, though not elegant, type of pony. They seem, however, not to thrive in a hot climate, and receive so little attention on their long journey down that they usually reach Teng Yueh in a very poor condition. Besides horse-dealers, a number of other Ku Tsung men come down to West Yunnan every year with beasts which they let out for hire for transport, and take back to their homes at the end of the spring.\n\nThe Fowl's Foot Mountain is near Ta Li.\n\nLeaving Pin Chuan by the North Gate, we followed the road down the valley towards the Yang-tzse for a mile, and then turning west across the stream which inadequately waters the plain, marched slightly west of north across downs and foot-hills which fringe the west side of the valley. The road is cut at intervals by several streams flowing from the mountains which shelter the east shore of the Ta Li Lake, eastward into the Pin Chuan Plain, and along these streams there is garden-like cultivation and picturesque villages. After three hours' march we crossed a road leading from Nui Kai to Wa Ch'i, a market on the east shore of the Ta Li Lake, whence a boat can be taken across to Ta Li Fu.\n\nPassing the market of Lien Tung, which is situated above the rich padi valley of Fu Tien Chuang, whose fields are mostly owned by the monks of the Chi Tsu Shan (Fowl's Foot Hill). On the grassy slopes near our camp, pheasants, quail, and partridges abounded.\n\nAll day long we had seen in front of us a huge hog-backed mountain rising up from the Pin Chuan Valley in a west direction across fifteen points of the compass, and terminating on the west in an isolated castle-like pinnacle, on the summit of which could be seen the white glitter of a temple.\n\nOn the next day we continued over-hill and down towards the great mountain, having on our left the range which hangs over the east shore of the Ta Li Lake, and after two and a-half hours' march we emerged from a forest into the beautiful valley of Sha Chi, which nestles along the south foot of the Fowl Mountain. The broad flank of the mountain is densely clad with forest, amid which may be discerned the roofs and pagodas of the lower temples, and a pellucid stream flows past the padi terraces of Sha Chi in an easterly direction towards the Yang-tzse. In the afternoon we ascended the hill to 7,800 feet through dense forest, and then, turning east along a good path, reached the beautiful temple of Shih Tan Ssu, entirely surrounded by virgin forest.\n\nThis is the residence of the Seng Cheng Ssu, or Controller of all the temples and monks on the hill. He administers corporal punishment, or in bad cases can expel the offending bonze from the precincts of the hill. The office is now filled by a pleasant old monk of about 60 years old, who has spent all his life on and near the hill, and, having lived through the Panthay rebellion, during which the temples were alternately and impartially pillaged by the followers of the Prophet and the followers of Confucius, has many tales of adventure to relate. At present he seems to be more interested in getting in his rents than in attaining Nirvana, and in the price of the drugs which his hill produces, than in the Buddha, the law, or the order.\n\nTwenty-nine temples are shown on a native map of the hill; they are all, with the exception of the summit shrine, situated on the south slope of the mountain, and buried in a magnificent growth of forest, but many are now abandoned and in ruins.\n\nFrom Shi Tak Ssu a good cornice road leads along the mountain slope in a west direction to Chin Lan Ssu (Golden Orchid Temple), which is at the foot of the west pinnacle. Besides this main road, there are wood-cutters' paths in all directions, and pleasant walks through the cool depths of the forest, where the stately silver pheasant and the elegant Amherst pheasant may be seen strutting in their native wilds.\n\nWhen the winter sun of Yünnan floods the whole hill with light, the view of forest and mountain is so superb that it is easy to believe that a spot so conspicuous, so accessible and so beautiful, must have attracted the religious devotion of men from the time when they were first moved by the conception of the spiritual or the sublime. Legend attributes the earliest temples to the Tang dynasty, and the Chi Kwang Ssu is even stated to have been founded by Han Ming Ti, who sent a Buddhist Embassy to India; A.D. 58. But, in point of fact, there is nothing in the buildings at present standing to take the dedication of the hill to Buddha further back than the Ming dynasty. The style of the architecture of these temples strongly resembles that of the Ming tombs near Peking, save that in some of them there are graceful bell-towers of wood built into the main structure on the right and left of the first court. There are also some good specimens of the ornate carved eaves, such as are to be seen in the British Legation at Peking, and these I take to date only from the early days of the present dynasty. From tablets and inscriptions still to be seen in the temples, it is clear that there was a powerful Buddhist movement in Yünnan in the reigns of Tien Chi and Wan Li of the Ming, 1573, 1621.\n\nMany of the wooden tablets are of great size, and of value as specimens of Ming calligraphy; it is said—and it is quite likely—that there were also valuable collections of altar furniture and pictures which were looted during the Panthay rebellion. In the Shih Tan Ssu, the residence of the Controller, are the usual Wan Sui, or 10,000 year tablets in honour of the reigning Emperor, and also tablets which are supposed to secure the prosperity of the high provincial officials, each of these dignitaries having a separate tablet with his titles and the characters \"lu wei\" (seat of official prosperity) inscribed thereon. Apart from this, the images in the temples are all purely Buddhist. The three precious Buddhas, representing the Buddha, the law, and the order, Kuan Yin in a side shrine, and the Ju Lai Fo, are the commonest of the idols. The usual Chinese heroes and demi-gods are conspicuous by their absence. Thibetan influence is very marked, and, indeed, the impulse of Buddhism probably came here from Thibet. The walls have been scribbled over with Thibetan script by pilgrims from the north. Thibetan charms dangle from the walls, and the main court of Shih Tan Ssu is adorned with Thibetan tiles.\n\nIn all the chief temples morning and evening services are celebrated, but there is little or no knowledge of the faith among the Bonzes. The total number of the holy men on the hill is about 300; the Shih Tan Ssu has about thirty and Hua Yen Ssu forty.\n\nThe rents of Shih Tan amount to 300 piculs of grain yearly, derived from lands in the neighbourhood. Hua Yen Ssu is also fairly well off, but on the whole the Bonzes have fallen on bad times and begging, or the subscriptions of visitors at the end...\n\n[2021 - 1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391290, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 251, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "6\n\nof the year, the time of the great pilgrimage form their chief means of subsistence, and most of the buildings are falling into a sad state of disrepair.\n\nAnother feature of the Shih Tan Ssu is a balustrade of Ta Li marble, some 30 yards long, before the chief shrine which contains three colossal Buddhas. Leaving Shih Tan Ssu and following the main cornice road to the summit in a westerly direction through the forest, we first passed the minor temples of Hsing Hsien Ssu and Wan Sheng An, and so arrive at Ta Chueh Ssu (Monastery of Great Perception), which is one of the Wa T Ssu or five great temples (Ta Chueh, Shih Tan, Chin Lan, Hua Yen, and Mo Ni An).” Ta Chueh Ssu consists of three courts in a tumble-down condition. Close to Ta Chuch is Chi Kwang Ssu, which claims to be the oldest of all the shrines. In it are seven images of the Jn Loi Buddha, with the mystic symbol on their breasts; also a small Buddha on a white elephant, and two enormous rice boilers of bell-metal dating from the Ming Emperor, Tien Chi. The forest then opens out, allowing fine views of the valley of Sha Chi and of the large Hua Yen Ssu, situated lower down the hill on a wooded height. After ascending 2,000 feet in 5 miles we arrived at the foot of the western pinnacle of the mountain, and put up in the comfortable Chin Lan Ssu, otherwise known as Chia Sha Ssu, where we found only three monks. From this temple the ascent to the Chin Tien, or Golden Shrine, on the summit takes about 1 hour. Winding up a steep stone path between limestone precipices, we passed several caves in which holy but dirty monks lay in wait for the cash of the faithful. A few hundred feet below the summit is the Tung Fo Ssu, a small temple dating from this dynasty with a roof of copper. A steep and dizzy climb brought us from this to the top, at an elevation of 11,800 feet. The Chin Tien is a tumble-down little temple in the centre of the chief court, of which is a shrine with door and roof of copper, and surrounded by a Ta Li marble balustrade, closely resembling the copper shrine at Wu San Kwei's temple near Yünnan-fu.\n\nIn front of the shrine is a large and artistically-shaped incense burner of bell-metal, about 5.8 feet high.\n\nThe view from the summit of the Chi Shan is of surpassing magnificence, and embraces a large portion of the Ta Li Prefecture. To the east the ridge of the Chi Shan slopes away to the Pin Chuan Valley, while its forest-clad heights slope gradually down to the valley of Sha Chi at the spectators' feet. To the south-east were the mountains which we had crossed in our journey from Ta Yao, running north and south in parallel ranges. To the south are the masses of hills between the Ta Li Lake and the plain of Yunnan Hsien. To the west a magnificent view is obtained of the isolated range of the Tsang Shan, which, with its nineteen peaks, rising to about 13,000 feet, forms a vast screen on the west side of the Ta Li Lake. No snow was visible in early December, and, indeed, the attitude of this range is well under the snow-line in this part of Yunnan. Glimpses of the lake are obtained, and though the city of Ta Li is hidden, the pagodas outside the north gate of the city can be seen. But the most conspicuous object of all in the whole panorama is to the north, where the great white dome of the Lichiang snow-peak, towering high above all rival summits, glitters in the winter sun. From the Chi Shan it is distant 65 miles in an air-line.\n\nLeaving the Ka Sha Ssu and passing through the forest for a mile, we cross a col, 9,200 feet, and descend in a north direction down a beautiful glen, where slopes of bracken and fields of oats are diversified with shrubberies of rhododendrons and pines. On the north side of the mountain there is only one temple, the Feng Chen Ssu, inhabited by a villainous-looking bonze, who apologized for the disordered state of his temple because he had only just come out after six months in the Teng Chuan Gaol. Some mules, it appeared, had vanished from near the holy man's abode, and here, as elsewhere, the world is very censorious. From this undesirable spot my muletcer hastened us down a rough road, with views of bare mountain ranges to the north in front of us, down to the bed of a small stream, along the banks of which runs the high road from Ta Li to Yung Peh. This stream flows east into the Yang-tsze, and we followed up its course in a west direction, along a narrow strip of cultivation, until we found a camp-ground at the little village of Ta Wang Miao. The next day, at [F] miles, we passed out of the valley and over a grassy col, insignificant in itself, but important as being the divide between the Yang-tsze and the Mekong. Shortly after the north end of the Ta Li Lake came into sight- the flourishing villages, dense cultivation round the fringe of the lake, the numerous fishing-boats, and the flocks of wildfowl forming a striking contrast to the bare, lonely slopes of the mountains above. We struck the lake near a marshy pond full of mallards, which enabled us to replenish the larder; and after an easy and interesting walk past the flourishing market of Chiang Wei (where excellent fowl and snipe shooting is to be had) and past flourishing villages, we crossed the bridge of boats\n\n7\n\nwhich spans the river which feeds the north end of the lake, and marched into Shang-Kuan under the shadow of the Tsang Shan.\n\nThe influence of Buddhism-of which the temples on the Chi Shan are the outward and visible sign-is still strongly marked in the Ta Li valley, which is popularly spoken of as the \"Land of Buddha.\" A number of military officers come from Ta Li, Hoching, and Lichiang: and most of them (including Chiang, the late provincial Commander-in-chief) are devotees of Buddha. Their piety is sometimes usefully and elegantly displayed by the construction of bridges and the ornamentation of temples. Sometimes it breaks out in inconvenient places. Thus, the military authorities in Yunnan are very fond of forbidding the slaughter of animals for food, though whether their motive is, as they state, \"respect for heaven-given life\" or the prospect of a squeeze \"for permitting breaches of their own regulations, I leave to be determined by those who know the mandarins. Shortly before I arrived the Captain of the City Guard at Ta Li had issued a strange Proclamation. After pointing out that \"all the myriads of created beings love life,\" he proceeds to assert that eels and magpies in particular have a \"meng,\" or destined course of life, with which it is impious to interfere. Accordingly, it is strictly forbidden to catch these creatures, and all and sundry who would indulge in the surreptitious pleasure of fried eels, or the more doubtful joys of magpie shooting, are warned that the eye of the Captain of the Guard is on them.\n\nCC\n\nTu Li-fu and the Valleys near it.\n\nIt is.\n\nfrom\n\nThe importance of Hsia Kuan, at the south of the Ta Li Valley, as a centre both of foreign and native trade cannot fail to strike the traveller; it is the commercial capital\n\npasses of West Yünnan, and if we can insist on respect being paid to transit Burmah, will soon become the largest market in the province. The li-kin is one of the best in the province, the amount collected chiefly on native opium being from 40,000 taels to 50,000 taels per annum. The town is increasing rapidly, and rents are far higher than at Ta Li, the greater part of the latter city being still in ruins, and being cursed by the presence of a number of officials. Hsia Kuan has a population of over 12,000, nearly all of whom are engaged in trade; the town is situated on both sides of a small river which flows out of the south-west corner of the Erh Hai or Ta Li Lake, and The ruins of the old rans west into the Yangpi River, and so to the Mekong. Rivan, or fortified wall, which ran from the foot of the mountains to the lake, are still standing in picturesque dilapidation on the north bank of the river.\n\nNot only is Hsia Kuan a resort of merchants of all kinds-dealers in foreign goods from Tengyueh, cloth-sellers and opium buyers from Lin Au (South Yünnan), Canton opium buyers, pedlars from Szechuan, Thibetans, and Li-chiang traders with ponies, mules, woollen cloth, drugs, and musk to exchange for tea, salt, sugar, and cottons-but it is an important centre of opium production and general consumption. I estimate that at least half of our imports from Burmah go up to Hsia Kuan.\n\nThe mountains press close on the east shore of the lake, while on the west the feet of the great Tsang Shan range are only 15 li, or 4.4 miles from the water, but the Ta Li plain, though narrow, is very thickly populated, and to the north and south of the lake are a series of rich agricultural valleys. The district of T'ai Ho Hsien, which comprises only the plain between lake and mountain, and between Hsia Kuan and Shang Kuan- say, 44 miles by 30 miles-has nearly 250 villages, besides the towns of Ta Li and Hsia Kuan; and the population can hardly be under 100,000. The sub-Prefecture of Chao Chou at the south end of the lake and of Teng Chuan at the north head of the lake have a large area of rich agricultural land and an abundant supply of water; further south are the plains of Meng Hua, 20 miles by 4 miles, and Hung Ai, 18 miles by 5 miles, which resemble the valleys of Szechuan in their richness; while to the north of Teng Chuan are the plains of Lang K'ung, Chien Chuan, Hoching, and Lichiang.\n\nI estimate that quite 1,250,000 persons and the best-to-do in the province are supplied from Hsia Kuan, and in a province the whole of which does not probably contain more than 10,000,000 inhabitants, this is a high figure. I would advocate the establishment of a Chinese agency at Hsia Kuan by some foreign firm. If arrangements can be made to send opium to Canton via Burmah, the prosperity of the country will be greatly increased.\n\nThe great majority of the peasants in the Ta Li plain and the valleys to the north are Minchia. They are, however, especially in the Ta Li plain, very mixed with Chinese. It is said that between the lake and the mountain there are only two villages of pure Minchia, but the majority of the population along the actual shore of the lake\n\n247", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391293, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 254, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "Hei Shui Ho.\n\nChu Lo.\n\n12\n\nIndia the range is shown as following round the concave side of the river bend; but I believe the surveyors did not actually explore the bend, and the trend of the range is different from what is shown on the map. Across the top of the north section of the Lichiang plain the mountain runs in a north-east and east direction. The ramifications of these spurs fill up a great part of the bend, but immediately at the north foot of the Snow Mountain there is a valley sloping down from east to west to the Yang-tsze, while the main back-bone of the range is continued on the left bank of the river in northerly direction towards Chung Tien, and so on to Thibet. The Yang-tsze has forced its way through the range by a stupendous gorge, and the snow mountain of Lichiang may be described as the tip of one of the tails of the Himalaya, cut off by the river from the back-bone connecting it with Thibet.\n\nI commenced my exploration of the bend, which I regret that time did not permit me to complete, in splendid weather. On leaving the town of Lichiang there is a view of the other or west side of the valley. From the col which is crossed by the Ashi road, a rocky spur rises up in a north direction; as it rises it becomes more bare and jagged, and finally culminates in a great precipice, on the top of which is a snow nevé, and, apparently, a glacier; above this are six tooth-like peaks of snow, the third of which, counting from the east, is the summit, which I believe to be somewhat over 17,000 feet. On the east of and below the main peaks, there are a number of perfectly naked, needle-like pinnacles. The mountain, as far as I could observe, is wholly composed of limestone.\n\nWe marched up the lonely valley north of the city in full view of this majestic sight. After four hours' march the valley narrows, and we crossed a low spur (10,400 feet) into a wide grassy plain on the east flank of the mountain, which was covered with fir trees up to the foot of what I christened the Great Eastern Glacier; by this glacier I think that a skilled mountaineer would reach the summit without much difficulty. If ever a Yünnan Alpine Club is formed, here is a peak worthy of its virgin ambitions.\n\nAt six and a-half hours we turned slightly east, and descended through a forest of pines to a stream issuing from the east side of the mountain, and here we camped at 10,000 feet. I shot a specimen of the large wood snipe, the only living thing to be seen at this height. A furious wind blew down from the mountain all night, and in grey, raw weather we resumed the march on the next day, first crossing a forest-clad spur to Hei Poa Shao, which consists of a single log shanty, where copper from a neighbouring mine is smelted, and then ascending another great spur, along the side of which we continued to march till 3:30 P.M. We did not see a human habitation; the pine forests, festooned with moss, and the bamboo brakes inclosed us for miles, only here and there opening to give glimpses of wooded spurs descending east to the Yang-tsze. The road, however, is frequented by a small, but constant, traffic of Thibetan caravans bringing drugs and musk to Lichiang, and taking tea, salt, and sugar and cloth back to Thibet. Emerging from the forest in the afternoon, we saw a wall-like precipice of limestone, distant about 10 miles to the north-east; there was evidently a river at the foot of it, and the guide informed me that it was the Yang-tsze flowing in a south direction to Yung-peh.\n\nOur regular stage would have been Min Yin, 34 miles from Lichiang and 34 days from the north of the Yang-tsze bend, and 4 days from Yung Ning, on the other side of the Yang-tsze, where there is a native Chief with the rank of Prefect. Instead of proceeding to Min Yin we turned west, and after a mile's walk through maize and buckwheat, we found good quarters in a Lashi village. The people here confirmed what we had learned at Lichiang about the bend. They offered to take us to the riverside in a short day's march, going either east or west from their village. If we went west we should find the river flowing north, and if we went east we should find it flowing south. We accepted the former alternative.\n\nThe village was at the head of a wide funnel-like valley, which appeared to cut across the north feet of the great mountain. Down this valley we proceeded with the snow hill on our left, and a confused mass of lower ranges on our right. After four hours' easy march past several Lashi villages and much cultivation, we reached the considerable village of Taku, situated in a wide fan-shaped plain, but there were no signs of the river. However, our guide took us across some downs beyond the village, and quite suddenly we came upon a precipitous defile, with sides some 100 feet deep, at the bottom of which was the Yang-tsze flowing due north with a steady current. The high-water mark was 20 feet above the December level; there is no regular ferry here, but it is possible to scramble down to the water's edge and then be floated across on four inflated sheep-skins, the motive power being supplied by a naked Charon, who swims and pushes the skins and the passenger on the top of them before him as he goes. One mile south of this primitive ferry the river issues from the stupendous gorge by which it has cut its way through the snow range, and at about 1 mile further north it enters another gorge.\n\n13\n\nThis remarkable open valley of Taku is largely composed of gravel and conglomerate. It would seem to have been the bed of an ancient glacier, descending from the Snow Mountain.\n\nThe next day the hills were covered with mist, and a steady rain was falling, but as time was limited we started an ascent of the mountains due south of the village, apparently towards the main summit. At 7,000 feet the rain became heavy snow, and a fierce and bitter wind assailed us from all quarters. No path was visible, and it was impossible to know where we were going, except that we were making a continuous ascent in a south direction. After 6 hours of this kind of thing the question of what was to become of us in this desolate storm-swept forest became interesting, but luckily we had a reliable guide, who at length brought us safe through the whirling mist and snow out on to our former route, near Hei Poa Shao, and we were forced to share the hospitality of that tumble-down hostelry with a number of Thibetans. These interesting people, with their red woollen mantles and embroidered leather boots, are better studied in the open.\n\nUnder a roof they exhale a very ancient and fish-like smell. On Christmas day the dazzling sunshine returned, and we went back over our old route, through deep snow to Pei Sha market, 5 miles west of Lichiang, where the gentry placed at our disposal the temple of the God of Literature. This market has a population of about 800, and is a good example of the manner in which Chinese influence has worked upon the Minchias and Lashis. The people have adopted clan names in the Chinese fashion, but they are clearly not Chinese clan names—e.g., Mu and Ho. At the door of the Chinese temple were floating Thibetan flag charms, and some of the literati who have got Chinese degrees can hardly speak the language of Han.\n\nFrom Pei Sha I passed over westward into the plain of Lashi, where a Lashi farmer put us up in his clean and comfortable wooden house. The circular lake in the middle of this plain is receding, and the alluvial soil round it gives excellent crops of rice, wheat, and opium.\n\nOn the 27th December, undeterred by a heavy fall of snow, I set out to visit the ferry of Ashi, on the Yang-tsze. We ascended another wooded spur of the great mountain which closes the west side of the Lashi Valley to 9,400 feet, and as we descended through pine forests by a rough stone road the weather lifted and we were rewarded by glimpses of the river, a terraced valley along its banks far below us, and, on the other side of the river, the cloud-capped mountains which block the way to Thibet. In the scrub under the pines as I descended I killed two fine silver pheasants.\n\nJust at the bottom of the descent the high road from Lichiang to Weisi (six days) branches off to the west from the Ashi road, which latter we followed, winding through a large village and passed many terraced fields to the water's edge.\n\nThe little valley of Ashi is famous for its opium. In the open season and when the Chunglien road is not closed by snow, there is a considerable mule traffic passing the Yang-tsze at this point; ponies, drugs, wool, furs, musk come out, and cottons, sugar, salt, tea, and wheat wine, for which Lichiang and the district round is famous, go in to Thibet.\n\nThe Yang-tsze at Ashi is far more like the river in Szechuan than it is at Taku. The ferry is well served by a large flat-bottomed barge. In December the river here was 120 yards broad, but in the summer it must be over 200 yards; both banks are fringed with a narrow but fertile valley, but about 2 miles north of Ashi the banks contract, and the river enters the vast and impassable gorge, from which it issues at Taku for a short space. I made the height at Ashi to be 5,450 feet, or 150 feet higher than at Taku.\n\nThe Yang-tsze is known all over North-west Yunnan as the Chin Chiang (Gold River) or Chin Sha Chiang (Gold Sand River). In the bend it is also known as the Ashi River, because the chief ferry is at Ashi.\n\nThe geographical and ethnological features of this country deserve a thorough exploration by competent traveller with plenty of time. The late autumn and the early spring are the best times for travelling; in the dead of winter I suffered from the cold, and was hampered by constant snowstorms. It is necessary in the bend country to inquire beforehand if or where there is a village or grass near the end of the stage to be performed.\n\nReturning from Ashi to our farmer's house for the night, we started the next day in a south direction, skirting the west shore of the lake, with flocks of fowl flighting over the water on the left of us, and pheasants crowing on the hills to the right. Passing some large villages and a handsome lamasery, we said good-bye to the Lashi, and...\n\n[2021 h-1]\n\nE\n\n1.\n\n250", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391295, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 256, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "cliffs, to the sides of which clung coniferæ, while at their feet were rich forests of bamboo. On every side was heard the gurgle of mountain streams, while, here and there, were grottos full of great icicles. After three hours' march we crossed a low col and came to an open patch in the forest where the salt caravans rest, and soon after reached the crest of the range, and descended along a deep cleft in the west flank of the mountain, whence occasional glimpses of the trans-Mekong range were to be had. At 8,500 feet we emerged into more open country, between two vast cultivated spurs, with villages of mud and wattle huts perched on impossible ledges, and accessible only by paths fit for goats. A succession of bold and magnificent mountain views was unfolded, until from the gorge far beneath us we saw a column of smoke rising up from the salt wells of La Shi, to which we descended, and put up in a temple commanding a view of the little town situated in the depths of the gorge, and containing about 400 houses. Some eighty families are engaged in cooking the salt, and each can produce about 550 lbs. per day. The transport of these and other wells near is in the hands of Pei Ti Ping mule-owners, who are, in many cases, of the gentler sex. At La Shi there is one small street of shops, supplied by Szechuan pedlars. A stream runs down the bottom of the gorge, and the wooden huts of the salt boilers cling along its sides.\n\nFrom Lashi we continued along a narrow path on the south side of the gorge, sometimes by the stream and sometimes high above it, and sometimes making detours to the left to get round side ravines. Soon after passing the Minchia village of Wan Ten, we caught sight of the Mekong, and descended to the little market of Ying Pan Kai. There is no ferry to the other side (west or right bank), but only a bamboo rope sling.\n\nThe sons of the late General Yang Yi Kuo live and rule at Ying Pan. Their attitude was so unfriendly that we moved a mile to the south of the market and camped by the farmstead of a hospitable Minchia, some 500 feet above the river, which is here ... feet broad, of a rich deep blue, and with a strong, but not violent, current. On the opposite side of the river, no less than seven great spurs, any one of which would be considered a first-class mountain in Europe, descend sheer to the river. The little villages, half hidden in their folds, looked like rabbit-hutches. Nature here works on her grand scale, and man and his works are reduced to insignificance.\n\nYing Pan and the Lashi Wells are under the direct control of the Lichiang Magistrate, whose ordinary jurisdiction also extends down the east or left bank of the Mekong to Hsiao Tsa Tsu, 13 miles south of Ying Pan. The fringe of villages on the lower slopes of the mountains on the west or right bank, together with the left bank south of Hsiao Tsa Tsu and north of the Yün Lung Chou boundary, are under the control of a t'u ssu or hereditary Chief, known as Lo t'u kuan. He is a native of Lan chou and a Minchia, but his official residence is at Tu Wo (see below) on the right bank. The upper slopes of the great range on the west of the Mekong, opposite Ying Pan, are inhabited by Lou Tzu, a tribe described by the Chinese officials as utter savages, who live by rapine, and nothing else. But the mandarins commonly speak in these terms of any non-Chinese who object to being controlled or squeezed by the Celestial Government. The Lou Tzu enjoy a wild independence in these inaccessible mountains, and are not above an occasional raid. Last year they crossed the Upper Mekong and looted the Wei Hsi official when he was on his way to his post. The Lou Tzu, the Lisaw, and the Minchia on the banks of the Mekong use cross-bows which shoot a poisoned arrow about 1 foot long. The poison looks like putty, and Chinese informed me that it is a species of \"u t'ou\" or taro, which causes paralysis and speedy death if it enters the blood. To be efficacious the poison has to be gathered at the tops of the mountains and in the dead of night, \"light Hecate's root of hemlock digged in the dark.\"\n\nWhen I passed by, Lo t'u kuan (the Minchia hereditary official) was on the war-path against the Lou Tzu, but his attempts to bring them under control were meeting with no success save that he had burned one village which had refused to accede to his extortionate demands for tribute; it seems that a sort of \"war\" is always going on in these hills, yet Chinese traders occasionally penetrate into them, and the Lou Tzu occasionally come out to the Ying pan to exchange gold, drugs, beeswax, skins, hemp, and lacquer against salt, cottons, tobacco, &c.\n\nFrom Ying pan down the banks of the Mekong to the Fei Lung Bridge is a march of five days (64 miles) along the precipitous sides of the river bank, between the vast ranges which press close to the water on both sides. On the first day we reached the village of Hsiao Tsa Chu (12 miles) the narrow path leading up and down high above the river through magnificent scenery, bare and imposing. We met several bands of Lisaw women in their shell-embroidered caps and hempen kilts; they live chiefly on the west bank, the few villages on the east bank being Minchia. Just before reaching our stage progress was blocked by a formidable razor-like ridge of limestone projecting into the Mekong, and round which the river makes a bend and forms a rapid. This obstacle was only passable by a narrow and dizzy path, and the mules had to make a detour round the hills at the back. Hsiao Tsa Tsu consists of a dozen log huts, situated on a slope steep as the roof of a house, and we only just found room for a tent by a small temple built in Chinese fashion and dedicated to \"the Black God of the Hills.\" The Headman was friendly, and, after a day's rest, he guided us along a path which ascended through a wilderness of mountains till we were 1,600 feet above the river, while above us were vast slopes and precipices with their summits crowned with snow; then descending past the log huts and narrow rice terraces of Shi Ping, we descended to a comfortable camp by the banks of the river near the village of Lamati. Here we found a double bamboo rope sling across the river, and a primitive \"dug-out\" or rather \"burnt-out\" boat made of the trunks of two trees hollowed out by fire and lashed together. A number of Minchia women crossed in the evening with loads of salt and tobacco on their backs, for villages on the west side. On the following morning the water was so cold that the mules refused for a long time to cross, and we were not all landed on the west bank till 10 A.M. At this point we joined Prince Henri of Orleans' route from Fei Lung Bridge north to Atentse.\n\nFollowing the narrow path down the west bank, through a fringe of trees about 50 feet above the river, we soon reached a difficult corner, where to encourage us the guide informed me that Prince Henri had lost two mules overboard into the river. 3 miles from La Mati the country on the west bank opens out a little and forms the valley of Tu Wo, where there is considerable padi cultivation. The few places available for rice terraces along all this part of the Mekong are carefully cultivated, and the rice is of excellent quality.\n\nThe village of Tu Wo, the capital of Lo t'u kuan, consists of about 100 log huts, and a small yamên built on a ridge in the valley. The population consists of Lisaw, Minchia, and a few Chinese. In the afternoon's march the mountains closed in again to the riverside, and we had to feel our way along and round the edge of a beetling cliff. It was like walking round the neck of a champagne bottle; the loads had to be carried on men's backs and the mules led. It was with a feeling of relief that we reached our camp at the little village of Ku Li. After passing Tu Wo we constantly met bands of traders, some of whom had been among the Lou Tzu and the Lisaw of the Upper Salwen, and some of whom had been to Teng Yueh. From Tu Wo there is a path leading west into the hills; indeed, difficult though the country is, there are communications in all directions, and the natives seem to consider any slope less than 45° as level-going. The Tu Wo traders clad in hemp, armed with broad swords in univalve scabbards, and cross-bows with quivers of poisoned arrows, look far more ferocious than they really are. Many wear haversacks like the Kachins, but without the embroidery, people here know the Salwen not as the Lu Chiang, the ordinary Yünnan name, but as the Hei Lung Chiang (\"Black Dragon River\").\n\nAfter edging round a difficult cliff just south of Ku Li, we got into more open country, where the river makes a series of majestic curves, and horse-shoe shaped valleys on the west bank admit of cultivation.\n\nThe most considerable of these is the Valley of Piao Tsuen. The village is situated 1 mile back from the river and has 150 mud and log huts, enclosed by an old mud wall.\n\nWe here passed out of the jurisdiction of Lo t'u kuan and entered that of the Yun Lang Sub-Prefect. From Piao Tsuen there is a well-beaten track west up into the hills past the village of Sung Ping, and so to the Salwen at Luku, the wild Lou Tzu not extending so far south as this.\n\nIn the afternoon we got round another formidable cliff, and camped at the little river bank hamlet of Tsao Yao, where we saw Chinese Proclamations for the first time since leaving the salt wells. One poster by the Provincial Judge was noticeable. It warned the non-Chinese inhabitants of Yunnan generally against practising the gentle arts of witch-craft and poisoning.\n\nThe people of Tsao Yao go to market at the Fei Lung Bridge, but for our tired caravan it was too long a march, and after passing through forest and long grass along a fair track high above the river for 15 miles without seeing a human habitation except the deserted guard-house of Tie Men, perched on the top of a cliff, we camped at Iron gate. Miao Wei, a village of some fifty houses, situated on a broad cultivated terrace high above the Mekong, and commanding a superb view of the great precipices which hang over the east bank.\n\n[2021 A-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391296, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 257, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "18\n\nMiao Wei is chiefly Chinese, and from this point to Fei Lung Bridge, 5 miles, there is a strip of open country along the west bank, and the road leads past Chinese hamlets, clumps of bamboos and extensive padi-fields, until a turn in the river disclosed the Flying Dragon (\"Fei Lung\") Bridge, slung like the thread of a spider's web across the river.\n\nThere is a small market of twenty shops here, at the west end of the bridge, and a considerable traffic of caravans for the districts to the north of Teng Yueh, laden with salt and sugar.\n\nBesides the salt wells of Lashi and some smaller brine wells at Pei Ti Ping, there are near the east bank of the Mekong in the Yün Tung Sub-Prefecture no less than nine places where salt is won. From these districts the whole of North-West Yunnan is supplied.\n\nThe Mekong from its exit from Tibet (approximate latitude 28° north) down to the great suspension bridge on the Burma-Ta Li road (latitude 25° 17′ north) is remarkable for the straightness of its course, for the uniformity of its breadth, for the absence of any considerable tributaries, and, above all, for the continuous and regular ranges of lofty mountains which close it in on both sides. It is like a huge conduit-pipe, down which the waters of Tibet are poured into the Southern Ocean.\n\nIn winter the water is of a rich blue and very cold. At my camp at Lama Ti the surface temperature was 39° Fahrenheit. I saw no boats on the Upper Mekong save the ferry at Lama Ti, but there are long reaches which a skilful canoist could safely negotiate. If the Mekong and Salwen in Yünnan flowed through broad valleys instead of close gorges, and if their navigability had been in proportion to their volume and length, how entirely different might have been the history of Asia!\n\nThe following approximate figures give some idea of the course of the Upper Mekong:-\n\n \n Place\n Latitude\n Height\n Breadth\n \n \n Near Tseku\n 28° 0' N.\n 6,100 Feet\n ❤ Yards\n \n \n Ying Pan Kai\n 26° 30' N.\n 5,200 Feet\n 70 Yards\n \n \n Fei Lung Bridge\n 25° 45' N.\n 4,500 Feet\n 70 Yards\n \n \n Great Suspension Bridge\n 25° 17' N.\n 4,300 Feet\n 60-80 Yards\n \n\nFrom Fei Lung Bridge we continued down the west bank, passing a series of fertile terraces to the considerable village of Chiu Chou, which, like all the residences of local Chiefs in this country, is built on a ridge in the valley. Chiu Chou is the seat of the eldest of the Tuan brothers, who are of sufficient importance in this part of the world to merit some account. According to my information, their ancestor was a Chinese adventurer, who established his authority between the Salwen and the Mekong in the early days of the present dynasty, and was afterwards recognized as a hereditary Tu ssu, or Chief, by the Yunnan Government. The family has now split up into five branches, and the patrimony is thus divided; the head of the eldest branch is at Chiu Chou, on the Mekong; the second at Luku, on the east bank of the Salwen; the third at Lao Wu, in the mountains west of Piao Tsuen, between the Salwen and the Mekong; the fourth at Mao-tsao, on the west bank of the Salwen, near Luku; and the fifth at Tengkeng, on the west bank of the Salwen, rather south of Luku. None of these places are more than large villages, and, excepting Lao Wu, which is in the hills, these Chiefs only have a small strip of territory between mountain and river. The first three are subject to the Ta Li Prefect, and the last two to Yung Chang Prefect.\n\nAt Chiu Chou we said good-bye to the Mekong, and turning west commenced the ascent of the great range on the west bank. The way at first led up a side valley carefully terraced and narrowing as we advanced. The last village is Ma Chia Ping (10 miles, 6,600 feet), and then commenced a very trying ascent through primeval forest by a very narrow and dilapidated road. In two hours' scramble we only advanced 3 miles, when we reached the wattle hut of Tou Tao Shou, where we found a petty military officer, and just room to pitch a tent on the top of a ridge in the forest. The only water was 500 feet below us, and there was no feed for the mules; to complete our discomfort a storm of sleet came on, and lasted most of the night.\n\nThe next morning we reached the top of the pass after a climb of two hours through dense forest and over frozen snow. At the summit there is a small plateau covered with rhododendrons and bamboo scrub. From here the slopes which we had ascended appeared impassibly steep, and the east side of the crest of the range bristles with jagged precipices. But on the west slope our descent was far easier, leading gradually down a broad spur covered with dense bamboo brake, and lower down with pine forests. At 9,500 feet we passed another small guard-house, and then travelled down through bracken and grass, shooting pheasants as we went till we reached the open plain of Tsao Chiang. The range of mountains on the west bank of the Salwen—to all appearances not a whit less formidable than that which we had just crossed—had been in full view during the descent.\n\nPage 19\n\nThe plain of Tsao Chiang is shaped roughly like a pear, with the stalk to the north, and is about 6 miles long, surrounded by lofty mountains. There is some good pasture here, and mules constitute the chief source of wealth of the mixed population of Chinese immigrants and Minchia natives, who trade with Yung Chang and Teng Yueh. There is also in this valley a considerable iron industry; the ore is brought from the hills 15 miles to the south, and made into agricultural implements and salt pans. In the chief village, which contains about 3,000 inhabitants, and is built on a ridge in the middle of the plain, there is a busy market. There was formerly a native Minchia Chief here, but he has been suppressed, and the place is now under the ordinary jurisdiction of Yün Lung. The great range which we had crossed is, farther north, the water-parting between the Mekong and the Salwen, but, to our surprise, we found that it is not so at the point where we crossed it, as the stream which waters the Tsao Chiang plain flows into the Mekong. The hills directly to the north of the Tsao Chiang plain are inhabited by Lisaw, who are not under control by the Chinese Government.\n\nLeaving the Tsao Chiang Valley in a south-west direction, we entered the broken hilly country which reaches to the Salwen and camped on the top of a slope near a Minchia village, whence an extensive view of the surrounding country showed that the Salwen-Mekong water-parting is at this point an irregular and split-up range which makes a loop westward towards the Salwen, and quite lacks that imposing dignity and compactness which is a distinguishing feature of the range on the west bank of the Mekong. We passed into the Salwen system and the jurisdiction of Yung Chang the next day by an easy col 7,800 feet, and from the hamlet of Shui Ching looked down into the depths of a cavernous gorge, which runs due west down to the Salwen. On descending to the level of this gorge by a steep path, we found ourselves at the village of Sun Chu and in an almost tropical climate. The direct road down the gorge to the Salwen was barely passable for pedestrians, and quite impossible for mules, so we had to make a detour to the south up a side valley richly cultivated by the peasants of Sun Chu, and then again west into the mountains, where we camped at the picturesque market and hamlet of Wa Ma.\n\nHere everybody spoke Chinese, though there is clearly a large admixture of Shan blood, and we had passed beyond the land of the Minchia. Wa Ma is situated amid the limestone peaks which overhang the east bank of the Salwen; deer, which are hunted for their meat, and bears, which are hunted for their paws, are said to abound. There is a track leading from Wa Ma to Yung Chang in three days.\n\nFrom Wa Ma we wound our way in a north-west direction through mountain valleys, well wooded and with frequent patches of cultivation, until we reached a height of 7,300 feet, and descended to the Shan hamlet of San Kung Wa.\n\nHere the hills open and disclose a broad funnel-like defile, the bottom of which was densely clad with rich green vegetation, running straight down to the Salwen. Descending sharply to the little stream which waters the defile, we found the road practicable for mules, and passing the picturesque but dirty hamlet of La Pa (Shan), we approached the great river. The defile opened out and the hills on both sides became less abrupt until we debouched into the valley of the Salwen at the fever-stricken village of Meng Ku. There is here an alluvial valley 1 mile broad by the river bank, but only a small proportion of it is cultivated, while the rest is covered with rank grass. We halted by the river bank under a sun which made us regret the snows which we had left a few days before. The altitude of the river here is but 2,900 feet, while its breadth is 100 yards.\n\nAs compared with the Mekong at this latitude, the Salwen is a wider and more winding river. It is, as a rule, shallower, and though, like the Mekong, it is enclosed in a gorge, the country on both banks is more varied and open and there is more room for cultivation. Of course, the most remarkable point about the Salwen is the extraordinarily low altitude of its bed. The mountains on both banks rise to over 7,000 feet above it.\n\nWe crossed the Meng Ku ferry in a boat, which took our mules as well as ourselves, and proceeding north up the west bank to the padi-fields, and market of Man Ying. We camped at the foot of the mountains, which are here clad with dense semi-tropical jungle.\n\n253", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391297, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 258, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "20\n\nMan Ying is a Shan village, but there are a number of Chinese squatters here, and also at Lien Ti, 14 miles further north in the river valley (where there is a Chinese hereditary \"t'u-ssu\"), and further north, beyond Lien Ti, at Luku, Teng Keng, and the villages which are the property of the Chinese Tuan clan. (See above.)\n\nChinese cannot live permanently in the Salwen valley at the latitude of the suspension bridge, on account of the deadly malaria—famous from Marco Polo's description. Yet, at Mengku, only 30 miles further north, we find \"John Chinaman\" flourishing, and bullying the Shans after his manner. I was solemnly assured that, except in the autumn, when it is dangerous to travel, there is no such disease as malaria known north of the suspension bridge!\n\nThe Chinese do not, according to my information, extend north of about latitude 26° 30′ in the Salwen valley; beyond that the population is Lisaw. But I was told at Man Ying that the river banks further north are very precipitous, so probably there is not much population of any kind. I may further mention that, north of Luku (which was visited by Prince Henri), the Salwen valley is quite unexplored. Here is a chance for some of our enterprising geographers and travellers. Unluckily, Consular officers rarely have time for so long and difficult an expedition. Perhaps the Government of India will see to it that this blank in the map is filled up. A Chinese merchant at Man Ying told me that it would be difficult, but quite possible, to ascend the course of the Salwen for \"several tens of stages,\" but that the track would not be possible for mules. Precipices and lack of supplies would, I was told, be a greater obstacle than the inhabitants.\n\nup\n\nOn starting from Man Ying up the range which hangs over the west bank of the Salwen, and which divided us from the Irrawadi basin, the worthy Headman warned us against the robbers on the slopes and the poisonous herbs on the summit, which would infallibly kill our animals if allowed to feed there. The whole morning we ascended steadily, passing through a series of zones of vegetation, till we reached the terrace of Hui Po (7,700 feet). After a halt here we were told that there was a camping-ground a little higher up, at Ta Lan Pa, and, while ascending a steep spur to that place, we came upon the robbers, sure enough. At a spot where the road is only a few yards broad, with precipices on both sides, a petty officer, stationed there to guard the road, had erected a couple of gateways at a short distance from each other. These formed a sort of trap, and any porters or mules passing by (and the number is considerable) are held here until they have satisfied the demands of the gallant officer. A large salt and sugar caravan of some fifty mules was in the trap when I arrived on the scene, and a terrific hubbub was going on. However, as soon as the officer saw a foreigner he at once opened the gates, and we proceeded to the camping-ground with our rescued friends. The camp was a small, open plot on the top of the spur, at 8,900 feet, where a bitter wind raged furiously all night, banishing sleep; so, at the very top of the morning, we continued our toilsome ascent along a narrow path, with a ravine on both sides of us. The whole mountain-side is covered with a dense forest of pines, rhododendrons, and other shrubs, and there are no human dwellings above Hui Po. The last half-hour to the summit of the pass, which is known as the Ma Mien Kuan, was comparatively easy going over snow, through one of those dense bamboo brakes which are usually found on the upper slopes of the great ranges in this part of Yünnan. The summit of the Ma Mien is 10,000 feet, and the total ascent from the jungles on the banks of the Salwen to the snows on the top of the pass required six and a-half hours of march. The view from this pass to the west comprises all the northern part of the Teng Yueh district. At the spectator's feet are the upper valleys of the Shweli (or Lung Chiang) and the Ta Ho (or Ta Ping) Rivers. To the south-west the crater-like summit of the Ta Yin Shan mountain, which hangs over Teng Yueh, is conspicuous. To the west the trend of the valley of Ming Kwang can be made out, and in this direction the prospect is closed by a long and well-defined range with a snow-powdered peak. This is the range on the east bank of the N'maikha branch of the Irrawadi, and the peak is Ming Kwang Pum, so well known to the Kachins. This Ming Kwang range is, in fact, their frontier, and should be made the frontier of the British Empire. To the north and north-west were spread confused masses of hills beyond the head-waters of the Shweli. These are inhabited by the wild Lisaw, who admit no man as their lord.\n\nthe\n\nThe Salwen-Irrawadi divide, which we crossed at the Ma Mien, is a very conspicuous object from Teng Yueh. The Burmah-Ta Li trade route crosses it on the second stage out from Teng Yueh—a tough ascent, but nothing like the Ma Mien Kwan.\n\nWe descended to the Upper Shweli Valley from the Ma Mien Kwan, at first by a steep and difficult corkscrew path littered with stones. At 10,000 feet there is a small temple where benighted wayfarers may rest. The descent here is so steep that there is hardly any snow, and it continues down and down to a dark defile, along which flows a mountain stream. Then the path leads by the banks of the stream through a damp and sunless forest, where the moisture favours the growth of great tree-ferns. At 8,300 feet the defile becomes impassable, and the road has been skilfully taken up to the shoulder of a spur on the south of it, whence, after three hours' march from the top of the pass, we emerged from the forest at 7,800 feet. From this point a good path leads down to the valley, through plantations of the shrub locally known as \"kou shu\" (though it is not the real \"kou,\" but Edgworthia Gardnerii), from the bark of which an excellent paper is made. This industry occupies 150 families in the valley. After passing the tax station of Shan Yao we wound down into the heart of the valley, and struck the east branch of the Upper Shweli at the little town of Chiao T'ou (100 houses), where we camped after a long march of nine hours.\n\n21\n\nThis valley is watered by the most easterly of the three streams, which join to form the Shweli or Lung Chiang River, which, sweeping round in a south-west direction through the Lung Ling district, and receiving many tributaries as it goes, forms the frontier between the Chinese Shan State of Meng Mao and the Burmese Northern Shan States for some distance, and finally flows through Burmah and joins the Irrawadi, of which it forms one of the most important tributaries.\n\nThe east head-stream of the Shweli is locally known as the Ta Tang River, because it issues from the mountains of Ta T'ang, 15 miles, or one day's journey north of Chiao Tou. Chinese jurisdiction only extends to the head of this stream.\n\nThis upper valley of the Shweli is certainly one of the most beautiful in Yünnan. A series of ridges descending from the imposing Ma Mien Kwan range cross it, and it is broken up into well-wooded knolls and terraced slopes, abundantly supplied with good water, and in the folds of which are numerous villages and farmsteads surrounded with bamboo clumps. The population is dense and entirely Chinese.\n\nMoving down the valley in a southerly direction for 5 miles, we reached Kai T'ou, a market with 200 houses and a yamên, the residence of a petty civil official, who is under the sub-Prefect of Teng Yuch. From Kai Tou, Teng Yueh city can be reached in two easy days, following the Ta Tang Valley for 15 miles, and then by a gentle col passing into the Ta Ping Valley, and entering the city by the North Gate. We, however, desired to see the other head-waters of the Shweli, and moved out of the Kai Tou in a west direction, crossing the river at [] miles by an elegant camel's-back wooden bridge, and then up the western slopes which fringe the valley of Kai Tou, and so to a pass 7,100 feet, from which there is a good view of Ming Kwang Pum, with its winter cap of snow.\n\nof\n\nDescending through a gorge at 9 miles from Kai Tou the path divides, one route bearing north-west into the Ming Kwang Valley, and the other which we followed, south-west to the bamboo huts of the village of Hokow, which is by the banks of the second or middle head-branch of the Shweli. This is a shallow stream, 30 yards broad, flowing over a pebbly bottom; its source is in the hills north of Ming Kwang Valley, and it is locally known as the Ming Kwang River. From Ho K'ou to Ming Kwang is only half a day's journey. In the hills near Ho K'on village silver is worked, and the ore is smelted at a small establishment by the roadside. The output is said to be inconsiderable.\n\nWading our beasts across the Ming Kwang stream, we marched south, along a good road, first by some padi-fields and then over bare downs, the stream being lost in a gorge to our left. At 16 miles we looked down on the extensive Hsi Lien Valley, and could trace across the plain the winding course of the Ming Kwang stream and of the third, most westerly and smallest, of the three head-streams of the Shweli; the two streams join in the south-east corner of the Hsi Lien Valley, and so flow on to their junction with the Ta Tang stream, from which point the Shweli proper may be said to begin. We descended to Ku Tung, the chief market of the Hsi Lien Valley, which contains much uncultivated land, though there is a fringe of villages along the banks of the streams, and irrigation works would do wonders for the whole valley. From Ku Tung to Teng Yueh is a long day's march, through not very populous upland valleys, in sight of the Ta Yin Shan hill the whole way until the traveller passes the north shoulder of that conspicuous mountain and descends into Teng Yueh.\n\n[2021-1]\n\nQ\n\n254", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391355, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 316, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "Office or Individual.\n\nweigh\n\n$1903\n\nLepi\n\nas in previous Paper.\n\nHONG KONG\n\nPREC\n\nNo. 33553\n\n(Subject.)\n\n0.\n\n33553\n\n(Red 9 SEP 03)\n\nAlleged irritation in Canton\n\n312\n\nLevedo copy despatch from Consul reporting\n\nMexent\n\n(Minutes)\n\ntion dur\n\n?

I counted in the day several flocks of over 100 sheep and several heads of over 50 ponies. The mutton and beef of Yunnan is almost as good as at home. Mules are bred in the hills north of Teng Yueh, but the sires are very small jackasses, and saw none but the ordinary small transport mule, which does the Bhamo carrying trade. Many of the people here are solely occupied in tending flocks and herds; but there is also a good deal of cultivation in the uplands---buckwheat, maize, wheat, and opium in sheltered spots being the chief crops. The land is prepared by a sort of skinning process, 4 to 6 inches of soil, containing all the roots of the grasses, being stripped off the land and piled in heaps over its face. These piles are then set on fire, and allowed to smoulder, the ashes serving as manure.\n\nOn the afternoon of our march from the Hsiang Yang Bridge we descended from 8,400 feet by a very steep path from the downs to the Valley of Ta Hsi Lienu, near its chief market town, Ku Tung Kai. Near Ku Tung there are several large and flourishing villages, All the country, indeed, between Ku Tung and the Ta Ying Shan north of Teng Yueh presents a most pleasing appearance, the villages being surrounded with ample orchards and pastures. The excessive droughts of the winter and spring in Central Yunnan are here tempered by local spring rains, which is a great boon to the shepherd folk, who have no difficulty in finding grass for their herds.\n\nNear Ku Tung I halted a day, at the request of the villagers, to shoot wild (bar-heads), which do great harm by browsing on the young opium and wheat shoots, and I disposed of fifteen of these marauders. We then marched west from Ku Tung up a lateral valley and over a pass 8,500 feet, leaving the Shweli Basin, and passing into the Valley of Ku Yung, which belongs to the Taiping system. This track is so narrow as to be impassable at some places for mules laden, and the packs have to be carried, but a little spade work is all that is required to broaden it out. The chief botanical features of this and of the other neighbouring ranges which I traversed are rhododendron trees, sometimes growing to a height of 30 feet, and covered in March with masses of rich red blossoms, a small lilac-coloured oxslip, which fills, not unworthily, the place of the home primrose, and in high, damp, sheltered spots a small and graceful primula of a delicate mauve colour. The folds and summits of these ranges are still covered with dense forest, but there is little timber of much value. Teng Yueh is, however, supplied with wood from these hills. The Kalej pheasant is by no means rare, and on the lower slopes the common pheasant of the country (Stone's, or Phasianus elegans) is frequently met with.\n\nThe country through which I passed is a country in compartments, consisting of valleys divided from each other by broad mountain ranges. The further north-east the nearer to the headwaters of the Taiping and Shweli Valleys-I was able to penetrate, the narrower and smaller were the valleys, and the more extensive and complicated was the mountain system; but a description of one of the passes from valley to valley would apply to nearly all the others.\n\nKu Yung is a market of fifty houses in a long and narrow but fertile and populous valley about 10 miles by 1 mile. It is the starting-point of the main track to the Upper Irrawadi, Mytkina, and the Burmah jade mines via the Kao Liang Pass (10,000 feet), and a number of the Ku Yung people are in the habit of going over into Burmah on petty trading expeditions. The pass is still infested by robbers, though there are supposed to be 200-and really are some 90-soldiers at Ku Yung, and a post of 15 men at Tatto, where the ascent of the Kao Liang commences. There is also a Lisan headman, the agent of the \"Fu yi,\" or Lisaw Chief of Tan Tsa-Lan Ma, but hitherto we have quite failed to get redress for robberies committed on this part of the frontier.\n\nOn the 5th March we moved up the Ta Ho, at the junction of the Ka Yang stream with the Taiping River, which here runs through wild country over a rocky course (20-25 yards wide in March) with some fine pools; it is almost like a salmon stream at home, but though there are salmon in Monmouth and in Macedon, there are none in Yunnan, and in the upper waters of the Taiping mahseer are very difficult to catch.\n\nOn the 6th March, in heavy rain succeeding nocturnal thunderstorms, we marched up the Ta Ho gorge in a northerly direction, and then turned east up a stiff ascent to 7,800 feet, whence there was a good view of the precipitous mountains whence the Taiping River takes its source. San Cha Ho, 5 miles north of Ta Ho, and consisting, like it, of a few scattered Lisaw huts, is the junction of the three head-waters of the Taiping River, which are:-\n\n1. The Ta Ho, which springs from the mountains not far from the sources of the Shingaw River, which flows into the N'maikha (the eastern branch of the Irrawadi);\n\n2. The Tan Tsa stream which comes in from the north; and\n\n3. The Lun Ma stream which comes from the east of San Cha Ho. There is a route over into the Shingaw Valley from Ku Yung, viâ San Cha Ho, by which the N'maikha can be reached in four days. By this pass, the watershed is crossed close to the mountain Manung Pum, which is the most northerly point of the demarcated frontier. This track was reported to me as not being passable for mules, and as being used only by a few Lisaw porters. There is also stated to be a route into the N'maikha Basin from Tan Tsa over a snow mountain, which is difficult, and in bad weather impassable even for porters; this track would, after passing into the N'maikha Basin, strike the head-waters of its tributary the Tummaw. The population in these hills round the head-waters of the Taiping is very scanty, and so far as I could find out, the Chinese have at this point no pretensions to any jurisdiction in the N'maikha Basin.\n\nThe little Plain of Lun Ma, which we reached in five hours' rough mountain march from Ta Ho, is only 2 miles by a mile, and contains only two villages, one Chinese and one Lisaw. The Plain of Tan Tsa is situated about 5 miles to the north of and is even smaller than Lun Ma, but it is the residence of the local Lisaw \"fu yi,\" or hereditary Chief.\n\nAs we entered the Lisaw country near Ta Ho, I may give a few notes on these people. They chiefly inhabit the higher valleys and slopes at an altitude above the Kachin villages on the N'maikba side, and above the Chinese villages on the Yunnan side. They are mostly scattered about in small hamlets of three to five families; they have been expelled from most of the padi lands which they once possessed, and now live chiefly on maize and buckwheat. The commercial activity chiefly consists in bringing down hemp, firewood, wheat, and the bark of the Koutree (Edgeworthia Gardneri), from which paper is made, to the Chinese hazaars in exchange for salt, cotton, clothing, rice, and opium. They mostly grow their own tobacco; their houses are of bamboo wattles, and divided into three partitions and thatched with dried grass. In the Kuyang Lun Ma district they claim to have come from either Pa Chiao or Sima, near the British frontier, and they assert that their principal Chief used to reside at Meng Ka, near Sima, in the old days before the appearance of the Kachins; but their real origin must be looked for elsewhere. It is almost certainly to be found in the valley of the Upper Salwen, where the bulk of the population is still Lisaw. The Lisaw race is probably, like the Kachins, an offshoot from the south-eastern edges of the Thibetan plateau. About Meng Ka and Lun Ma there is obviously a strong strain of Chinese blood in the Lisaws, but on nearing the Upper Salwen the Thibetan type and physique is strongly marked. It does not appear that there is any tradition of the Lisaws ever having been in possession of any of the main valleys; indeed, they themselves state that they put in an appearance in these parts after the Chinese, but before the Kachins. The Lisaws near Ku Yung have adopted Chinese habits and language to such an extent that they can hardly understand their cousins from the Salwen, but even those who have adopted Chinese dress preserve the hempen gaiters, tightly bound under the knee and falling loosely to the ankle, which are a characteristic feature of their national dress. Cotton garments are an innovation. The \"black,\" or wild Lisaw of the Upper Salwen, of whom I saw a few specimens, were entirely clad in coarse hemp, and wore rude turbans of the same material; the gaiters, the long robe and short trousers completed the costume, while their ornaments consisted of light silver bracelets and necklets of plaited straw, from which hung small shells, pebbles, and bits of silver. The Lisaw always goes about armed with his heavy, broadsword in a univalve wooden scabbard, and with his crossbow and bundle of hardened bamboo-arrows, which will penetrate an inch of deal at a distance of 30 yards. Some part of his person, the strap of his sword, or even his pigtail, if he has one, is invariably adorned with small shells, though in other respects he may be a \"short coat,\" i.e., if he is dressed in Chinese fashion and has discarded the hempen or \"long coat\" of his ancestors. The women dress very differently in nearly every community which I visited, but their heads and bodies are always adorned with shells, bits of deers' horns, and odds and ends of silver and pebbles. The real Lisaw female dress is a hempen kilt and short hemp jacket, with a cap encrusted with shells, but in Upper Ming Kwang the kilt has become a tightish petticoat worn under a long cotton robe, with a broad cotton belt adorned with patchwork of red, green, and white.\n\nThe Lisaw coolie carries 50 lbs. on his back, and is a good porter in difficult country.\n\nPage 366", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395034, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 371, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "who made the first settlement in Ming Kwang. It appears that from early times the Tso family have been in the habit of interfering in Kachin affairs over in the N'maikla watershed. A tributary of the N'maikha—which I identify with some doubt as the Klan Sheng River—is known to the Ming Kwang Chinese as Kun Ma,\" or Rolling Horse River; and the legend is that once when, in the reign of Kang Hsi, early in the present dynasty, the Tso were on the war-path over the watershed, their General, Hsu Erh Ye, rode a very valuable horse, which tumbled down the precipice, and, rolling into the river, was seen no more.\n\nTso Erh Kuan, who met his death from a Mauser bullet at Hparé, was a Jingo, and seems to have had a great local reputation as a fighting man, though he was not well informed as regards modern weapons of precision. He was constantly in the habit, in alliance with Yang's people from Lower Ming Kwang, of trading, raiding, and smuggling as far as the N'aikha, and beyond. Now, it is quite impossible that the late Tso can have put in the field anything like the numbers which opposed Mr. Hertz. His people, all told, must be under 2,000, and they are all of them timid and simple-minded peasants, who certainly have no liking for villainous saltpetre. The fact seems to have been that Tso's reputation was such that he was able to collect round him all the dacoits, smugglers, and bad characters of the country-side, and it is an open secret that he received moral and material support from Teng Yuel. There is, I think, not the least fear that the present Teng Yueh officials, or the present heads of the Tso family, will take any action likely to cause a recurrence of such an incident as the Aparé fight. The Tso family is obviously out at elbows, and their control, even over villages on their own side, is of a very shadowy description.\n\nOn the 12th March, in very wet weather, I commenced an inspection of the upper waters of the Ming Kwang River by a march to the crest of the watershed at the pass known as Ta Ya Kou, which leads to Hparé. We ascended the valley along the banks of the main Ming Kwang River, known as the Ta Ho, for 14 miles, and then turned up a side valley in a north-west direction and ascended by a small stream known as the Cha Shan Ho. The track was a good mule-path, leading up a broad valley with patches of copse and bracken, and surrounded by snow-powdered mountains. We passed four or five Lisaw huts, until, at 6 miles, we mounted through dense bamboo jungle by a steep and difficult path to the lesser pass (8,900 feet), where, in the dense virgin forest, there is a small fort, about 20 feet square and 12 feet above ground, with a cellar 5 feet below the ground. This fort is loopholed and commands the approach from Hparé. It can only be entered from behind by an underground passage some 20 yards long, with two sharp corners in it. This fort was built by the Lower Ming Kwang Chief, Yang, after the fight with the British at Hparé in 1899. It is said to have employed 100 men for a month, and I can well believe it. Descending from the small pass through a wild forest we crossed the brook of Hsiao Tang Ho, and then, ascending over snow by a tedious but not difficult slope, reached the watershed at 9,500 feet, about 12 miles from Ta Chai. The summit of the pass is covered with forest trees and huge rhododendrons, festooned with lichen. The trees and the mist prevented anything like a view towards the N'maikha, and the damp was such that we quite failed to light a fire. There are no inhabitants between the main valley of the Ming Kwang and the top of the pass, except the few Lisaws mentioned above; but camping-grounds and the remains of fires prove that the route is frequently used. The first village on the N'maikba side is Shang P'a Li (Upper Hpare), which is said to be about as far from the divide as the divide is from the Ming Kwang River.\n\nThe general name used by the Chinese for the country on the N'maikha side, east of the Chung Shan i.e., the valley of the Upper Khan Sheng—is \"Cha Shan\" (Tea or Camelia Hills). Ming Kwang men occasionally go over to barter salt and cotton clothes to the Kachins for hemp, sandals, beeswax, \"huang lien\" (the rhizomes of a jungle plant used as medicine), and other jungle produce.\n\nOn the 13th March I struck camp from Ta Chai and proceeded up the main Ming Kwang Valley, here about 1 mile wide, with forest-clad hills on both sides. Here I noticed an old proclamation by the Teng Yueh official, which threw some light on the politics of Ming Kwang after the Eparé affair. This document recites a petition received from the widow of Tso Erh Kuan, in which she states that her husband having died in defence of his country, she wishes to spend the rest of her life in mourning. Her son was an infant, and the soldiers sent from Teng Yuch to Ming Kwang (there are none there now) were so disorderly that a lone woman like herself could no longer keep the public peace. It seems to have been in consequence of this that the lady's brother-in-law was appointed \"regent.\"\n\nPage 7\n\nFor the first 2 miles we passed pádi fields and three villages of the Tso clan; then the country became wilder, with only very sparse cultivation, but with extensive pastures.\n\nAs we approached nearer to the watershed the scenery became very grand. The valley itself consists of wide bracken slopes, with patches of grass and marsh dotted with clumps of bamboo and oak scrub; pheasants abounded, and I shot several of the large wood-snipe. At 5 miles from Tar Chai we passed a wide lateral valley formed by the Hsiao Tang Ho River (see above), up which runs the track to Tzá Chu. The huts of Lisaw peasants and a few recent Chinese squatters were spread about, and we passed several shepherd's encampments. All around us were great forest-clad hills with snow-powdered summits. At 7 miles, still marching east, we passed another stream, the Lai Shih Tou Ho, which flows down from the divide. At 8 miles we passed the Lisaw hamlet of She Li Shu (ten houses) situated on the further side of the Ming Kwang stream, and shortly after through a gap in the hills to the north-east we caught a glimpse of the snow-clad Salwen divide with peaks rising to 12,000 feet. Here the Ming Kwang Valley contracts for about 4 miles, and bearing round to the north we entered on the narrow plain (1 mile broad) of Ta Chu Pa, which leads straight up to the head-waters of the Ta Ho, or Ming Kwang, River, undoubtedly the true source of the Shweli. Ta Chu Pa is sparsely inhabited by some twenty Lisaw families. We passed the house of the local headman subject to Ming Kwang, and after a march of 13 miles camped by a stockade at 7,300 feet. Inside the stockade we found the Chinese agent of a Teng Yueh coffin-wood firm, \"Fu Sheng Hsiang,\" who arranges for the transport of the timber from the banks of the Ngaw Chang, tributary of the N'maikha, to Teng Yueh, mostly on the backs of Ming Kwang coolies. He complained bitterly of having to live in such a place, like Ovid among the Getae, stockaded against bandits and wolves, and with no society but that of a few Lisaw. Personally I found the Chu Pa Valley a delightful spot. There was hardly any cultivation, the whole being covered with bamboo jungle, marshes and bracken, where there was excellent pheasant shooting. The mountain scenery all round the valley is especially grand and impressive. There is excellent camping ground, and abundance of water, fuel and grass, but no supplies. As regards the bandits, it is undoubtedly true that the whole of this country and the Upper Salwen Valley are unsafe and infested by small bands of Chinese outlaws and \"black\" Lisaws, who are impelled by famine to resort to pillage on passing coolies. I met two small parties of these gentry, but saw little of them save their heels; they would seem to be respecters of persons. I do not think that a prudent and well-armed foreigner runs much danger of being attacked. At Ta Chai I was solemnly assured that there were forty robbers on the pass above Chu Pa; I got to Chu Pâ, and then, according to the Chinaman there, these forty had dwindled down to four, and when, on the next day, I ascended the pass itself not one even of these four men in buckram put in an appearance.\n\nThe coffin-wood firm mentioned above has recently spent 600 rupees in making the pass of Ta Ho Toú (\"source of the main river\") and the track beyond it down to the Ngawchang River passable for mules; the agent valued the turnover of his firm at about 6,000 rupees annually.\n\nThe day after arriving at Ta Cha I resolved to follow up this track to the watershed. We marched up the right bank of the Ta Ho, here little more than a brook, and over some marshy land, and then through a very dense bamboo brake in a narrow gorge between cliffs—a fit place for treasons, stratagems and spoils. Leaving on our right a trail which leads east to the Salwen divide, we ascended in a northerly direction. The weather was very bad, sleet and snow falling continuously. The dense forest through which we passed was soaked and dripping with moisture, and the rough track was a foot deep in slush, snow, and mud. It would be hardly passable for mules except in dry weather. After three and a half hours we reached the watershed at the Ta Ho Toú pass, 9,100 feet, in a very bedraggled condition. The source of the Ming Kwang River, and therefore of the Shweli, is a few miles to the east-north-cast of this pass. By this route there is constant communication between Ming Kwang and the Upper Ngaw Chang. The first village reached on the maikho side is Pien Ma, which appears to be a Kachin village at a considerable elevation, as the Chinese say it is as cold as Ta Chu Pa. Pien Ma is two days' journey for a man from Ta Chu Pa, the night being spent in a cave; but laden mules require three days. Mules, I was told, can go beyond Pien Ma, descending to I Tung, a Kachin village on the banks of the Hsiao Chiang (small river) which I identify with the Ngaw Chang. I was told that it was possible to follow up the Hsiao Chiang for four or five days until the Ni Mo River is reached, after which the\n\nPage 368", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395035, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 372, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "country is uninhabited and impassable. The Ni Mo is clearly the Lamaw tributary of the N'maikha, as \"l\" and \"n\" are interchangeable in Chinese.\n\nThe district round Pien Ma and I Tung, situated to the north-east of Ch'a Shan, is known to the Chinese as I Shan (hills of the barbarians). The lower country near the N'maikha is referred to by the Chinese as Langsu. I did not meet any Ming Kwang people who had actually been to Langsu, but they all described it as hot, feverish, and inhabited by wild men (i.e., Kachins), who rob travellers, who do not know the use of money, and who are under no sort of control by any Government. The Ch'a Shan and T Shan, however, which seem to comprise the whole of the upper country (on the N'maikha side of the divide) near the various head-waters of the Shweli are constantly visited by Chinese from Ming Kwang.\n\nAs I wished to examine the path from the Ming Kwang Valley to Tzu Chu, I moved my camp back on my tracks to the point 5 miles from Ta Chai, where the Hsiao Tang Ho joins the Ta Ho, and, on the 16th March, the first fine day for a week, we marched up the valley of the Hsiao Tang Ho.\n\nThis is a wide (2 miles) and beautiful valley, the combination of snow, pine trees, and rich green forests of bamboos on the mountain sides contrasting with the rushing stream and the pastures and bracken by its banks.\n\nThere were several large herds of cattle, sheep, and ponies, and in the bracken I shot six brace of pheasants (Stone's) in a very short time. At 3 miles from Ming Kwang Valley, after passing a tumble-down fort with an underground entrance similar to that described above, we came to a point where the Hsiao Tang Valley curved away to the west towards the mountains which we had ascended on the 12th at Ta Ya Kon. Our track, however, continued in a northerly direction along a small stream which flows through a close gorge; then ascending a steep spur we reached the Tzu Chu Ti Pass in four hours—10 miles—from the Ming Kwang or Ta Ho River. The height is 9,200 feet. On the N'maikha side the first village reached is at Tz'u Chu Ti, which is said to be 12 miles from the top of the pass. Tzu Chu Ti consists, I was told, of three small villages of Kachins (one of which is probably the Lagwi of Captain Pottinger's map*), situated on a small stream which flows into the Hparé River. I asked a number of persons if there were any Chinese residents there, or anywhere else on the N'maikha sides of the watershed, but though every one agreed that Ming Kwang men were constantly going over to trade, no one could give me any information of a permanent settlement.\n\nImmediately to the north of the Tzu Chu Pass, and 1,000 feet above it, is a hill on the watershed, which, as it is free from forest, I ascended. From this point there is a view of a steep range jutting out from the divide, and situated apparently between the Hparé and Tz'u Chu streams, which join to form the Khan Sheng River. There is also a wide panorama of forest-clad ranges trending generally in a north-east direction towards the N'maikha. The mountain marked on the Burmah maps as Mien Kawng Pum (Ming Kwang Hill) is between the Ta Ho To'u and Tzu Chu Passes. It was covered with snow in March, but from the China side it is not a very well-defined peak; I even doubt if it is really on the watershed at all, and believe it to be on the N'maikha side. Time and weather did not permit me to visit it, but it must be at least 12,000 feet.\n\nMy next move was back to Ta Chu Pa, but owing to torrential rains I took two days to reach my former camp. The Ming Kwang Valley was temporarily reduced to a swamp.\n\nI had made previous arrangements with the Lisaw Headman to provide five porters who knew the road, and would take me over the great divide into the Salwen Valley, a track which was reported (and proved to be) impracticable for mules.\n\nMy object was to pass as near as possible to the sources of the Ta Tang, or east branch of the Shweli River, and to find out where the water-divide between the head-waters of the Shweli and the N'maikha joins and becomes merged in the great divide between the Salwen and the N'maikha.\n\nA severe thunderstorm prevented a start being made from Ta Chu Pa before 9:30 A.M. on the 19th March. The Lisaws carried their loads on their backs in bamboo baskets secured to a wooden yoke which was supported on the nape of the neck by a bamboo strap passing over the forehead.\n\nLeaving the track to the Ta Ho To'u Pass and Pien Ma at 1 mile from the Chu Pa stockade, we turned east along a narrow path and ascended through a dark and dank forest. After 2½ hours we emerged on an open ridge running east and closing the head of the Ta Tang Valley from which rises the east branch of the Shweli. To the east in front of us rose the slopes of the great Salwen divide, which stretched north and south as far as we could see; to the left or north of us was dense forest stretching up to a well-defined ridge jutting out from the main divide. This ridge was some 5 miles north of the ridge where we were standing, and the guides asserted, what certainly seemed to be the case, that it was the Ming Kwang N'maikha water-divide.\n\nPage 9\n\nThe forest between the ridge where we stood and this divide is watered by a small tributary of the Ming Kwang River; accordingly, the Ta Tang Valley does not reach up to the Shweli-N'maikha divide, but there is a bit of the basin of the Ming Kwang River intervening; thus the Ming Kwang River has every claim to be regarded as the true source of the Shweli.\n\nDescending to the brook of Tang Pieng Ho, which flows east for a short distance and then describes a semicircle to the north-east, and flows round to the west to join the Ming Kwang, we attacked the main Salwen Range by a steep and rough path through dense forest, much encumbered by roots of trees. We reached the divide at a height of only 9,400 feet. Then we proceeded along a marshy gully known as Ta Li Shu, the waters of which flow down to the Salwen by Lien Ti, and, after wading across several side streams found no help for it but to camp after six hours march on a wet patch of snow in the middle of the forest. We had much difficulty in lighting a fire, and snow or sleet fell at intervals through the night. The next morning we continued our route in a heavy snowstorm, and, after an ascent of one hour, reached the highest point of the pass at 9,900 feet. The track was full of quagmires and encumbered by roots of trees. The beginning of the descent to the Salwen was very steep and over deep snow: the upper slopes of this, the east side of the range, are covered with very heavy virgin forest. We passed two open patches used as camps, but nowhere on the higher slopes of this pass could more than a dozen men find camping room.\n\nContinuing our descent down a steep spur, with a mountain torrent far below us on the right, we crossed a stream from the left at 7,800 feet, after two hours' descent. From this point there is a very difficult section consisting of steep ups and downs over lateral spurs. The track was at places so steep and slippery that we had to haul ourselves up by clinging to shrubs and roots. After a fatiguing march of five and a-half hours we emerged from the dense upper forests, and, bearing to the north round some grassy spurs, we reached the Lisaw hamlet of Hsiao Ho (7,000 feet) situated in a fold of the hills by a small stream under the shadow of the great range. After a rest in this picturesque little valley we continued the march in a northerly direction by a stiff ascent of a spur to 8,400 feet. From this point we caught a glimpse of the Salwen far away below us.\n\nThough from the crest of the divide to the river is not in an air line more than 6 miles, the difference in altitude is 7,000 feet, and the intervening country is filled with an extremely complicated system of spurs and folds and bays in the mountains, so that the superficial area is large. Between 7,000 feet and 4,000 feet the number of villages and hamlets is very considerable, while the upper slopes are entirely destitute of inhabitants, and the traveller along the river bank at 3,000 feet passes but few villages, a circumstance of which the malarious climate is the probable explanation. The population of this part of the Salwen Valley is chiefly Lisaw, but they mostly speak Chinese and have partially adopted Chinese costume. By the riverside, however, there are remnants of a Shan population, and Chinese households are to be found in nearly every village.\n\nAfter ascending the spur above Hsiao Ho, we wound along a ridge in a northerly direction and after a long march of eight and a-half hours camped at the Lisaw village of To To, the Headman of which tried to make out that he was a Chinaman—a strange ambition. From this village there is an extensive view of the Salwen-Irrawadi divide range. It stretches in the same well-defined, regular and stately manner as far north as the eye could reach, and seems to have been planted there as a \"heaven-made boundary between two Empires. On the range nearly opposite, i.e., west of To To, there is a conspicuous gap or pass.\n\nA well-known track leads from the Salwen at Teng Kong (the village on the right bank immediately below To To) up to this pass, from the summit of which Pi'en Ma (see above) can be reached in a little more than a day, and I was informed that lightly-laden mules can be taken over. I inquired about passes over from the Salwen into the N'maikha Basin further north and was informed that two days' march north of Teng Keng (the village on the Salwen just\n\nPage 11\n\n[illegible text]\n\n369", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395036, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 373, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "10\n\nbelow To To) was Mao Chao on the right bank, the seat of a petty Chinese Chief, but that the Mao Chao people who have to cross the range must descend along the river and start from Teng Keng. But one day's march up the river north of Mao Chao is Cheng Kan; here there is said to be a very difficult track used only by Lisaw coolies carrying salt over the range into the Kachin country of Pai Pa (a name which I cannot identify, but it is probably near the headwaters of the Laking Kha, tributary of N'maikha).\n\nAs to the Salwen Valley beyond Cheng Kan (which should be in about north latitude 26° 40′)I could get no definite information save that it was inhabited by wild and famished \"black Lisaws,\" who looted travellers and were under no sort of control by anybody. None of the local Chinese had ever attempted to go so far, and in fact it was a country beyond the perception of the popular consciousness.\n\nOn the left bank of the Salwen, in the far distance, we saw some very lofty mountains which were covered with what appeared to be perpetual snow.\n\nWe descended from To To to the Salwen, passing along the side of a spur which bangs over a small stream along the banks of which is the path leading from the Salwen to the Pien Ma Pass. The bed of the great river where we struck it in latitude 25° 50′ north is at an altitude of 3,000 feet. The water had already lost its rich winter blue, and was a dirty grey, discoloured probably by melting snows. The summer rains turn the water to a muddy yellow.\n\nFrom the village of Ch'a Shan, on the river bank, we marched for two days along the right bank of the Salwen. The weather had cleared at last, and the Lisaw porters suffered severely from the heat. The road along the right bank is perfectly good for mule traffic, but the population is apparently scanty, being hidden in villages situated in the folds of the hills higher up. At 2 miles from Ch'a Shan we stopped for a mid-day halt at Teng Keng, a Chinese village of twelve houses with a tumble-down yamên, the residence of the local Chief, a Chinaman of the Tuan family, which has five branches; the head of each branch respectively rules the scanty territories of Chiu Chou, on the Mekong; Lu K'u, Mao Chao, and Teng Keng, on the Salwen; and Lao Wo in the hills between the two rivers. The territory of Teng Keng is said to contain 1,000 families, though I am bound to say that I take this to be an exaggeration. The present Headman is a boy of about 14, the sixth of his line. His affairs are managed—or, rather, mismanaged by his relatives. Mao Chao is said to have only 300 families, while Lu K'u is stated to be twice as extensive as Teng Keng. The Chief of Lu K'u lives in a fairly well-built village, 5 miles below Teng Keng, but on the opposite or left bank. There is a ferry here served by a boat. Marching past the Lu Ku ferry we camped that evening at the village of Lai Mo subject to the ordinary jurisdiction of the Yung Chang official, and situated in a horseshoe-shaped padi valley by the river bank. On the 22nd we reached Wan Chiao, situated in a similar valley, after passing only two small villages in the day's march. On the 23rd we followed two sharp bends of the river and emerged on to the valley of Man Yin, where there is a small and dirty but important bazaar. There is no market anywhere in the Salwen valley north of this.\n\nThe left bank of the Salwen, between Teng Keng and Man Yin is very thinly populated, as lofty and precipitous cliffs descend nearly straight to the water's edge.\n\nThe part of the Salwen valley through which we passed is known as Shang Chiang (upper river). On the Burmah map attached to the N'maikha Exploration Column's Report this is written \"Sanjang,\" and by error is marked as being in the Shweli Valley. From Man Yin we again passed the main divide by the tedious but well-trodden Ma Mien Kwan (10,500 feet), which is daily traversed by salt porters. The weather had by this time cleared, and snow only remained in small patches. Descending into the Shweli Valley we were glad, after a tiring excursion of six days to rejoin the camp which had come down from Ta Chu Pa to meet us at the west foot of the Ma Mien, which is only two long marches by the direct route from Teng Yueh.\n\nOn the 25th March we moved north to explore the Ta Tang valley, across the head of which we had passed while ascending the west slope of the Salwen divide. The Ta Tang Valley comprises little or no level plain land, but is broken up by spurs and foot-hills jutting out from the Salwen divide. The country is well-wooded and fertile, copses and pastures affording a pleasant variety to the padi fields. Numerous streams descending from the divide give perennial supplies of water, and the peasants are numerous and well-to-do. Indeed, the idea that the part of Teng Yuch which is close to our frontier is sparsely populated must be abandoned. The only valley suitable for Chinese cultivation which is still uncultivated by them is the head of the Upper Ming Kwang and Ta Chu Pa valley, and even there a few families of Chinese squatters have already begun to put in an appearance. I should think it extremely probable that in a few years' time the Chinese peasant will spread across the divide into the upper slopes of the M'maikha basin.\n\nThe Headmen of Ta Tang are two brothers of the Liu clan. Though the whole of the valley from Shan Yao tax station, at the foot of the Ma Mien, northwards, is known as Ta Tang, the Ta Tang Headmen only control the upper head of the valley, or about 350 households, the other villages being under the ordinary jurisdiction of Teng Yueh. The Headmen reside at two villages of twenty houses each situated close to each other at 12 miles from Shan Yao; they are rather less out-at-elbows than the Headmen of the other valleys.\n\nIn the afternoon of the 26th March we forded the Ta Tang River, and camped at the end of a romantic gorge along which we marched the next day in a northerly direction. In two places the track was blocked by rocks, and loads had to be unsaddled; otherwise the going is easy. At 7 miles from Ta Tang, and after an easy ascent to 7,500 feet, we reached a col and passed again into the Ming Kwang valley. Descending through thick bamboo jungle, at 9 miles we struck the Ming Kwang stream at the Lisaw village of Shé Li Shu, and from this point returned to Teng Yueh by the Ming Kwang valley and Ku Tung market.\n\nII. Claims of Chinese Headmen in the N'maikha Basin and observations thereon.\n\nI did not think it advisable to discuss with the Teng Yueh officials or with the local Headmen the nature and extent of their claims in the N'maikha basin, nor did I think it prudent myself to pass over into that basin. I do not wish to indicate that I should have run any great personal risk by so doing; indeed, the coffin-wood people were most anxious that I should go with them to the Ngar Chang; probably they wanted the protection of a foreign rifle. Further, I had no escort of Chinese soldiers with me, as they would, with their customary insolence, infallibly have got to loggerheads with the Lisaw Headmen, to whom I trusted for guides and for my personal safety, but as I was by way of travelling in China and under Chinese auspices, I thought that any extension of my journey towards the M'maikha might open the door to future misunderstandings.\n\nI collected, however, a good deal of information regarding these claims from Chinese and Lisaws who are constantly going over the watershed; the particulars given me by different people in different places agreed so well that I venture to think that I can now submit an accurate account of what these claims really are. If in future the Yunnan Government puts forward more extensive demands, we may, I think, safely put down such as fraudulent afterthoughts.\n\nI would, in the first place, observe---\n\n1. That the statement made in London by the late Sir Lo Feng Lu, to the effect that it is well known that in this region the frontier of China is the Irrawadi (i.e., N'maikha branch) is wholly without foundation. On the contrary, it is well known, and was asserted to me, both by the Tso family and by all the local people, that the lower slopes of the hills on the left bank of the N'maikha-\"Langsu,\" as they usually call it, \"where money is not known \"-are wild man's land, and under no control whatever by anybody.\n\n2. It is to be noted that there is no a priori reason why Chinese influence should not in the past have reached beyond the head-waters of the Shweli into the N'maikha basin. Of course, the watershed is, from the geographical point of view, quite unmistakable, but communication over it is not by any means so difficult as to prevent intercourse. Indeed, it must always have been much easier for people starting from an upland valley like Ming Kwang, at 6,000-7,000 feet, to get across these easy passes to the country about the upper waters of the left-bank tributaries of the N'maikha than for people ascending through difficult mountain tracks from the low level of the N'maikha itself.\n\n3. There are at present no villages within some 6 miles of either side of the watershed, and there are no regular settlements or villages of Chinese on the N'maikha side at all. On the other hand, the Ming Kwang people have long been in the habit of crossing over on trading expeditions. Though their notions of geography are hazy, they know the names of the villages, the distance from village to village, and similar details with some approach to accuracy,\n\nPage 370", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395237, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 574, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "571\n\n&\n\nItalian contractor near A-mi Chou complained to me that, whereas in January he had 2,000 coolies on his \"lot,\" he had then (20th May) but a couple of dozen; if he could retain the full number his \"lot\" might be finished, the main tunnel excepted, within four months.\n\nThere have been many discussions on this subject of labour between the French Consulate General and the Local Government. The latter fear the introduction of men from the Two Kuang as being likely to lead to disturbances, and they advocate a system of native official recruitment amongst the Yunnanese, particularly of the north-east. The contractors have at present to find their own coolies, but there is much discontent among them, and I believe that they are awaiting the return of Herr von Kapp to ask that the Société de Construction should relieve them of this obligation.\n\nIt is in the Nam-hti Valley that the difficulty is most felt. The Yunnanese will not willingly descend the plateau to work there, so great is their dread of its insalubrity. The dread seems to be justified if it is true, as I am told, that, besides a great number of natives, some sixty Europeans have, from first to last, died victims to the malaria of the valley. \"Valley\" it hardly deserves to be called, but rather \"gorge.\" So steep in many places are the sides that to mark out the track men had to be lowered by ropes, their movements directed by signals from the other side of the ravine. There are, it is true, portions of the tract north of Mi-la-ti, and not inconsiderable portions, that are almost as precipitous, but the labour problem is not so acute in the northern division, and there are several intervals of comparative, or even positive, plain. It is agreed, in short, that the northern division will be completed, as far as earthworks are concerned, before the southern.\n\nFor their rails both divisions must wait until the Tonquin line reaches Laokai. According to the Agreement between the Government of Indo-China and the Railway Company, this line should reach Laokai by the 1st May next.\n\nThe question is whether it can do so. M. Guillemoto, head of the Travaux Publics in Indo-China, who has been energetically pushing this work, has just gone home on sick leave. According to a M. Laumonier, one of the leading contributors to the \"Courrier d'Haiphong\" (the 14th May, 1904), the line from Yenbay to Laokai \"amène avec elle tout un cortège de déceptions et de mécomptes.\" \"Although there are no tunnels, no aqueducts, nothing, in short, out of the common, despite the assertion of M. Borreil, alter-ego of the grand chef of the Travaux Publies, the line will not be handed over by the agreed date.\" This is the view of another correspondent, writing from Than-ba on the 19th April, who says: \"The actual condition of the work unfortunately does not justify the hope that the line can be handed over in time.\" If it is not so handed over, Compagnie du Yunnan will claim, this correspondent affirms, heavy damages from the Colony. I may add that an Italian “conducteur\" whom I met, and who had only lately come up to Yunnan from the Yenbay-Laokai section, told me that, in his opinion, two years would be necessary to complete that section, both on account of the mechanical difficulties and for reason of the lack of workmen. As far as Traibutt the difficulties are not grave, but above that point they are, he said, most serious.\n\nThe causes assigned (by a M. Debellonnière in the \"Courrier\" for the 6th April last) for the distaste shown by Chinese labourers to work on the railway line in Tonquin are:--\n\n1. The excessive cost of rice.\n\n2. The restrictions on opium.\n\n3. The fact that the coolies are not treated as freemen, but are \"gardés comme des prisonniers à la cangue par des soldats.\"\n\nThanks to Annamese informers, many of the Chinese coolies, who cannot work without opium, have been heavily fined or imprisoned by the French authorities for smuggling the drug. These Chinese (Kuangtung men) are not, the writer declares, deterred by toil or maladies, and would work willingly enough if the Government provided them, as in Madagascar, with rice and opium at reasonable rates and allowed them a measure of liberty.\n\n(If his conclusions are correct, as I believe them to be, they may be commended to the Government of the Transvaal.)\n\nIt should be mentioned, in connection with the Tonquin line, that the first locomotive arrived at Yenbay on the 25th April of this year, and that the section Viétri-Yenbay was formally opened by the Governor-General during the first week in May. Various writers in the Tonquin press declare that both this section and that to Laokai are so full of short curves that the working of the line will be at a great disadvantage. Not only can no great speed be attained, but the wear and tear on engines and rails will be excessive. It is affirmed that the object of the Travaux Publics, which has had to take over the track from the bankrupt contractors, has been to economize both in time and money. They have therefore avoided tunnelling, and in some instances have run their line dangerously close to the river.\n\nIf the Tonquin Railway reaches Laokai by the 1st May next, then the Construction Company are bound to complete it within two years more to Mengtse, and that is to say, it must reach Yunnan-fu within a further three years.\n\nWhether it will do so, opinion widely varies. Yunnan-fu by the 1st May, 1910.\n\nM. Guibert, Directeur des Travaux, and M. Prud'homme, Chef de Division--both of whom ought to be in a position to form a correct judgment--told me that the line could be completed to Yunnan-fu in three years, that is by the summer of 1907, always provided that there are no more disturbances, such as that of Lin-an last spring, to interrupt the work. Others, less highly placed, speak of five years; a few, of ten. It is agreed on all sides that the line must, and will, be completed eventually.\n\nMy personal acquaintance with the track begins, as I have said, at the Mi-la-ti divide, where is to be found the only tunnel, as far as I am aware, that is receiving its facing of dressed stone. Ordinary labourers, I may remark, receive 1 dollar for four days' work, except in the Nam-hti Valley, where wages rule higher--usually 35 cents a day. Masons are paid 40 to 50 cents a day. For the greater part of the \"tracé,\" lying as it does among the mountains, stone is abundant; and the masons of Yunnan are fairly skilful, in great contrast to the carpenters, whose work is crude and clumsy. Along M. Peragliè's evidence, no bridges had yet been made, though quantities of dressed stone were stacked in readiness. Several large culverts had been completed, in one of which I saw a beggar had taken up free quarters, stopping the superfluous entrance with a pile of brushwood.\n\nMy first intention was to follow the railway track from this point to A-mi Chou, but the distance (some 60 kilom.) is too long to be easily done in one stage; so I decided to take the road through the Mengtse Plain and over the pass of Shui-tang. For the first few miles the railway cutting could be plainly seen, descending gradually along the western slope of the range until it vanished behind a spur. Thence forward until A-mi was reached there were no signs of its presence other than the occasional distant report of a \"coup de mine.\" As a reference to the detailed plan of the line will show, the railway pursues a very devious course in its descent to the A-mi Plain. It has, in fact, to make its way in and out of a tangle of little valleys, particularly between kilom. 200 and kilom. 218.\n\nA-mi Chou once reached, the line follows down the \"Lin-an River\" for a short distance, then, diverging to the left, passes by means of a tunnel into the valley of the Pei-ta Ho. My own path led me, as I have said, back across the Mengtse Plain to the nearest \"sea\" (lakes in Yünnau are dignified into \"seas,\" even though, as in this case, they are mere dwindling swamps), by which I had descended to Mengtse, and crossed the long stone causeway over the thence into a side valley, whose northern limit is the village of Lei-kung Ssú, where my convoy offsaddled for tiffin. From this point to the head of the pass that leads down into the A-mi Plain the country seems very desolate, though the pass itself is picturesque. A-mi \"Patzu\" (the Plain of A-mi) as seen from the \"col,\" is particularly striking. In the far distance, though looking deceptively close—is A-mi town, while a pagoda away to the north-east marks roughly the point of entrance of the railway.\n\n+1 sea;\n\nThough I left Mengtse at 8 A.M. I did not reach A-mi till sunset. The headquarters of this section of the railway occupy a temple outside the east gate of the town. The \"chef de section,\" M. Garcia, and his wife, I had left at Mengtse, but by their courtesy I was assigned the guest-room in their residence, originally the main hall of the temple. Everywhere where possible along the line temples have been rented, and, without injury to their structure, converted into comfortable dwellings. No particular difficulty, as far as I could learn, has been experienced in securing these numerous temples, nor are excessively high rents demanded. A temple once obtained, outbuildings are run up in the compound, it being understood that these and all other innovations shall be removed when the permanent buildings--the station-masters' dwellings--are erected.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395362, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 699, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "Office or Individual.\n\nForeign\n\n1904\n\n23 Mar\n\nLast previous Paper.\n\n37457\n\nHONG KONG STRAITS\n\nNo 40058\n\n(Subject.)\n\n\"State Prisoners.\n\nthat sentence\n\nsho an\n\nThe bypa\n\nAuso 27 Janos 2227 10645\n\n695\n\nDOMESTIC.\n\n40028\n\nSECO\n\n&\n\nRest 25 NOV 04\n\naccepto decision of Co. asto macestian\n\nthe expiration of their be sent to thing Sis, barb regrets that objectors an held to apply & the\n\nlatte Tolary also Minutes.)\n\nChinese in the\n\nhit Fiddes Cox Lucas\n\nThe Franquillity of the\n\nJ\n\nmwe\n\nthe Straits T Fluf\n\nimportance\n\ntwo socalled reformers.\n\nthat the lens\n\nAs a matter of\n\nfact they und stand\n\na\n\nvery good chance\n\nof being assassinated in Singapore.\n\nKang You wei nearly they might try\n\n5.

This State, with the exception of the outlying town of Manwyne, which came into the family by marriage, is poor. The main valley is only 9 miles by 2-3 miles, but the side valley of Man Tung, situated beyond the hills to the east, is larger and richer.\n\nThe Nan Tien Sawbwa is thought to be at the bottom of the intrigues which the Chinese have started against his neighbour of Kangai.\n\nKangai, which includes the richest part of the Taping Valley, is situated between Nan Tien and the frontier. The clan name is also Tao. The old Sawbwa, who is about 55 years of age, is supposed to have abdicated according to Shan custom in favour of his son, a man of about 30, who represents the twenty-eighth generation in a direct line from the first Sawbwa. Both father and son are men of intelligent and benevolent disposition, who, considering the circumstances, govern their State well. They are both, but especially the father, devout Buddhists. The State is rich, but is sometimes subject to destructive inundations.\n\nThe main Tengyueh-Bhamo trade route passes straight through Kangai and Nan Tien. There are not many Kachins in this State, and those few give but little trouble. The main Kangai Valley is about 35 miles long by 4-5 miles broad.\n\n### 3. Chanta, or Santa\n\nThis includes a small portion of the Taping Valley on the right bank and a section of hill country behind it to the north. The Sawbwa is a child. His father was robbed and then executed some years ago by the Tengyueh official on a false charge of treason with the British. The government of the State has since been in disorder. The Kachins in the Santa Hills are under no sort of control.\n\n### 1. Laksa and Hosa\n\nThese are two small States in an upland valley at an altitude of 4,000-5,000 feet, along and above the east side of the Taping Valley; the beautiful Lahsa-Hosa Valley is watered by the Nau Sa, a small tributary of the Taping. The inhabitants are not Shan; they have a language of their own, and are known as Ashang. They are probably of Maru Kachin origin, with an admixture of Chinese and possibly of Burmese blood. They have attained a considerable standard of civilization, and are both industrious and peaceable; they have a great reputation as blacksmiths, and go down to Burmah to seek work. The Hosa Sawbwa is a minor; the Lahsa is an old man who has four sons, the eldest of whom manages his affairs; the administration is not bad, but the Sawbwa has little authority, and both ends of the valley are subject to Kachin raids. There is a fair path down the valley and through to Burmah, but it is only used by local traffic. The valley is some 30 miles long by 2-3 miles broad.\n\n## (B) Shan States in the Shweli or Lung Chiang Valley, on the right bank\n\nThe Shweli is an important affluent of the Irrawaddy; it rises to the north of Tengyueh, and joins the main river from the left side, near Ratha, in Burmah.\n\n### 5. Meng Wan\n\nThis is the basin of the Nam Wan, a small tributary of the Shweli. The valley is over 30 miles long and 5-6 miles broad at the broadest part; it is very fertile, but malarious; the administration was for years in the hands of the mother of the present Sawbwa, a young man of 23, who took over the Government four years ago. Since then the condition of the State has been going from bad to worse. The young Sawbwa is drunken, licentious, violent, and superstitious. He harbours quacks, gamblers, and criminals from Burmah and other places, while the numerous Kachins on both sides of his valley are under no sort of control. They are constantly thieving and cattle-lifting on the British side. Several large Kachin villages above the north-east of the valley have openly revolted and expelled the lawful Shan owners from the rice fields, which they are now cultivating themselves, without paying any taxes. In 1903 the Chinese Commandant of the frontier regiment, Ma Wu Hsiang, a Panthay, was stationed at the Sawbwa's residence for some time, and composed matters; but this season I find that the young Sawbwa has again begun his reckless courses, he has been taking medicines which are supposed to render him bullet-proof, he has shot several persons in a drunken fit, and he has taken to seizing Kachin maidens and confining them in his harem for some time, a proceeding which demonstrates both his imprudence and his bad taste. Further disorders may be expected, and the Tengyueh officials do nothing to restore order. This State is consequently poor. A secondary trade route from Burmah to Tengyueh runs the length of the valley. The Meng Wan Sawbwa's principal wife is a daughter of Nan Tien.\n\n### 6. Meng Mao\n\nThis State is situated along the right bank of the Shweli above the confluence of the Nara Wan. It consists of some hill-land and a rich valley, some 27 miles by 5 miles, a large part of which is uncultivated. The hills at the back of the town between the State and Meng Wan are thickly populated by Kachins, who are under no sort of control, and levy blackmail or pillage in the valley. The Sawbwa, a man of about 30, is weak but not vicious; he cannot make much headway against his Kachins, and he has scanty resources in the way of money, but he has recently shown some activity in his administration. This State is off the main route; the town of Meng Mao (about 250 houses) has an old wall, and in the Burmah wars of the middle ages is said to have been the headquarters of a Taotai.\n\n## (C) Shan States in the Shweli Valley, on the left bank\n\n### 7. Chefang or Sefang\n\nThis State is limitrophe with the British Northern Shan States; it consists of the lower part of the basin of the Meng Kwan River, a tributary of the Shweli and of the surrounding hills, which are inhabited by very unruly Kachins. Even the main valley (20 miles by 4) is poor and thinly populated as it is subject to had inundations, and, even in the dry season, consists mainly of a reed-covered swamp. The Sawbwa is a man about 30, of the same original stock as the princely families of Meng Mao and Meng Wan; the administration of the State is fairly good; none of the Chinese Sawbwas has worse Kachins or makes such serious efforts to control them. The late father of the present Sawbwa was a believer in drastic measures, and it is said that he used to boil his Kachins in oil, or roast them over slow fires, in order to persuade them to better courses. An important trade route from Burmah, the Ruby Mines, and the Shan States to West Yünnan leads straight through the Chefang Valley. The road is well maintained, and, in spite of the Kachins, serious robberies hardly ever take place along it.\n\n### 8. Meng Kwan\n\nMeng Kwan, or, in Chinese, Mang Shih, situated north of Chefang, comprises the valley of the Upper Nam Kwan River and the hills surrounding it. The main valley of this State, which on the east is limitrophe with the Chinese sub-Prefecture of Lung Ling, is some 16 miles by & in extent, and is both fertile and densely populated. With the possible exception of Kangai, the State is considered to be the richest near the border. Near the Sawbwa's residence there is a considerable bazaar resorted to by numerous Chinese caravans in the cold weather. The main Burmah Chefang-Lung Ling road goes through the State. The town, like all Shan towns (which are merely large villages), has a dilapidated appearance; lean pigs, ruined pagodas, heaps of cow-dung, majestic pipul trees, mean mud or bamboo wattle huts, lofty bamboo groves, and slatternly women exuding betel chew from their dirty mouths. This valley is very feverish; the hills round it, however, have been settled by Chinese from West Yunnan, and there are but few Kachins. The Sawbwa (clan name Fang) is a young man, weak and superstitious Buddhist, but his rule is not oppressive. The Sawbwa and the State have recently been brought to the brink of ruin by the \"squeezing\" operations of the Chinese Mandarins, of which I shall speak later at length.\n\n### 9. Meng Ting\n\nMeng Ting is another State further to the south, to which I may refer, though it does not otherwise come within the purview of this report. Meng Ting comprises the low-lying valley of the Nam Ting River which joins the Salwen from the east at Kunlong ferry. The State is a small one and is in a condition of disorder owing to the neglect of the Chinese, the incompetence of the Sawbwa, and the influence of the bad counsellors by whom he is surrounded. Notorious dacoits are constantly harboured in this State, and the Sawbwa is always quarrelling with his neighbours. Representations concerning Meng Ting have been made at Yunnan-fu, and a Chinese Deputy has been sent, who will meet the British Superintendent of the Northern Shan States, and endeavour to settle outstanding cases, and to suggest some means for the better government of the State in the future. If the Kunlong Railway ever materializes, it will run along this valley which is marshy, tropical, and malarious.\n\nThe population of the Shan States under China can only be given in the form of a rough approximation to the number of families who pay taxes and are supposed to ...\n\nPage 422", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 397989, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905", "page_number": 479, "title": "CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905", "content_text": "## DOMESTIC.\n**C.O. 12829 REGIS APR 05**\nN/2824 \n472 \nHONG KONG \nFreen \n1905 \n\nor Individual. \n\nRussian capture of the \"Arabia\"\n\nPrevious Paper. \n\nLeuss HOM capture of the \"Arabia\" copy deep from 8: Petersburg reporting that to Rennie's clave For compeuration has been submitted to Russian \n\n(Minutes.) \n\nmor Collins \nThis get \n?

Lilley, the Engineer-in-chief selected by the Government of India for the survey of this line, and his staff, did not reach Bhamo till April. It was therefore impossible to complete the work before the commencement of the rains rendered further operations impossible, but I understand that some progress was made towards a detailed survey between Bhamo and the Chinese frontier by Mr. Lilley's assistants.\n\nMr. Lilley, who has much experience in this particular kind of work, made a reconnaissance as far as Teng Yueh, and returned to the frontier after having spent about four weeks on the Chinese side.\n\nIt would, of course, be out of place for me to attempt to anticipate his official report; but I may mention that his first impressions appear to be favourable. He is of opinion that the line is quite feasible and would not be excessively expensive, though there are two short sections which would undoubtedly be costly; but the total length from Bhamo to Teng Yueh would probably not be over 125 miles.\n\nAs a quite rough estimate I understand that Mr. Lilley puts the cost at £750,000, but this depends largely on an uncertain quantity, namely, the amount and the quality of local labour available. Comparing the populousness and fertility of the country which the line would traverse with districts already traversed by Indian railways, Mr. Lilley is of opinion that the line may reasonably be expected to pay; such an opinion from an officer of so much experience is important. Mr. Lilley's suggestion to me was that he should, as soon as the rains are well over, say in November, return with his party and make a final and definite survey, including the pegging out of the line. Such a survey would necessitate the cutting of a path along the cliffs near the Taping River in Chinese territory in places which would otherwise be inaccessible.\n\nIf, as I anticipate, a favourable report is received from Mr. Lilley, I am of opinion that, in view of the progress which the French railway is now making, the policy of pressing forward the final survey of the Bhamo-Teng Yueh line will probably commend itself to your Lordship and to the Government of India.\n\nIn this case, I would venture to point out that, in order to avoid loss of time, it is advisable that the negotiations necessary to obtain the requisite concession for the construction of the line from the Chinese Government should proceed concurrently with the detailed survey, and that the character of this survey should also be explained to the local authorities, as otherwise they may raise objections to the cutting of paths and the planting of pegs in their territory.\n\nIn view of the concession granted to the French for a railway to the provincial capital, the Mandarins can hardly refuse to us this concession for 90 miles in a remote part of their territory which is chiefly inhabited by non-Chinese tribes; but that there will be obstruction, delay, and tergiversation may be accepted as exceedingly probable. I understand that the Viceroy of Yunnan has already mentioned to the Consul General that the Yunnan Government would probably wish to construct the part of the line which would traverse Chinese territory themselves, as it is out of the question that they could raise the capital, or if they could raise the capital that they could construct the line, or if they could construct the line that they could manage it when constructed; such a proposal must be regarded as a Chinese device to stave off the whole scheme.\n\nAs the line is in some measure an answer to the French railway, it is essential that it should be constructed as quickly as possible; as the total length is only to be some 125 miles, it is essential that the whole line should be under one control, and that that control should be British.\n\n`[2079 r-1]`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 403221, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "page_number": 130, "title": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "content_text": "## DOMESTIC.\n\n### C O\n\nfee or Individual.\n\n**HONG KONG**\nNo 24154\n\n**(Subject.)**\nRECO 24154\n(REG: 12 JUL 05)\nCanton Kowloon Railway\n\net previous Paper.\n\n70\n128776\n\n... copy comes with or therese Corporation\nat liking:\nas to votiation of their repre\n\n**(Minutes.)**\nBar Fiddes\n?

Under the Lang Ya peak, there is a track leading from Tan Tsa to Ma Li Pa at the head of the Tien Tan Valley (see below) by a pass often closed by snow (10,800 feet) and so over to the headwaters of the Chi Pwi River. \n\nBetween the Manung Pum and the Lang Ya tracks, there is no recognized path over the hills. \n\nNo claims were seriously put forward to any territorial or other rights beyond the watershed on behalf of the Tien Tan Headman. \n\n## II. Tien Tun and the Chi Pwi River. \n\nA surveyor having been detailed to map in the Tan Tsa Valley, our party proceeded in sections, and by various routes, eastwards to the Tien Tan Valley, which is watered by the most westerly of the three main sources of the Shweli or Lung Chiang, the other two being the Ming Kwang (the middle or main source) and the Ta Tang or eastern source. The Ming Kwang and the Tien Tan join near Ku Tung bazaar, 22 miles north of Tengyueh, and the river so formed joins the Ta Tang Stream near Chuchih bazaar, 16 miles east of Tengyueh, from which point the joint river is known as the Lung Chiang to the Chinese. \n\nThe Upper Tien Tan, the Ming Kwang, and the Ta Tang are little more than mountain streams; except after heavy rain, they are everywhere fordable, and nowhere more than 50 yards broad. \n\nThe Tien Tan Valley is under Headman Tsai, who represents the eighth generation of his dynasty. He has no sort of administrative force or machinery except that he has a few village Headmen under him; his feebleness and incompetence even in such matters as levying his subjects to repair the roads excited the Taotai's bile, and Tsai came to me, as an old friend, to ask how he had best deprecate the great man's wrath. \n\nOur camp was formed at Ma Li Pa (6,500 feet), the last village on the track to the Chi Pwi, situated in a very beautiful valley surrounded by hills and under the east flank of the Lang Ya Mountain. Just below Ma Li Pa, the three brooks which form the Tien Tan Stream join: \n\n1. To the west, issuing from the east of the Lang Ya Mountain, is the Mo Shih (\"Stone-grinding\") Brook. I ascended this through dense jungle to the crest of the N'Maikha watershed, 7 miles from Ma Li Pa. On the pass, I met three Lisu, who said that proceeding by this track to the N'Maikha, theirs would be the first village reached, and it was three days' march for a laden coolie. \n\n2. To the east, the Main or Hei Tao Yuan source of the Tien Tan, which springs from a hill on the watershed known as the Sisters Hill, and flows through a romantic gorge past several small villages subject to Tien Tan to Ma Li Pa. \n\n3. Between these two, the Pau Wa Brook, which flows from the pass leading from the Tien to the Chi Pwi Valley in the N'Maikha basin. \n\nThe Headman Tsai made the same statement to me as he had made the year before, namely, that he claimed a kind of overlordship over a few villages of Lisu along the headwaters of the Chi Pwi, based apparently on the occasional exchange of presents and on the fact that Chinese incursions over the watershed had occasionally taken place. He admitted, however, that since the disturbances caused by the Panthay rebellion fifty years ago, no such exchange of presents had taken place, and that most of the Lisu on the Upper Chi Pwi had dispersed. The number of 100 Lisu families subject to him, which he had given me last year, included all those who had moved over from the Chi Pwi to the Tien Tan side. \n\nThe following day, however, the Taotai gave me a \"map\" of Tien Tan, which professed to have been drawn up by Tsai. It was a work which possessed the merit, if not of accuracy, at least of imagination, and went to prove that the Taotai's geography, like Dogberry's reading and writing, comes by nature. With the exception of a part which had been \"cribbed\" from me, the map was totally inaccurate, but it showed the whole of the valleys of the Shi-Ngaw, Tumi-maw, and Chi Pwi Rivers as subject to Tien Tan. This includes part of the ordinary jurisdiction of the Myitkyina district. The Taotai further informed me that the Mali-kha was the true Irrawaddy and the proper frontier. This was so contrary to Tsai's statement to me the day before that I inquired what had happened, when it appeared that the map and the claim was the work \n\n7 \n\nof Mr. Chu, the Taotai's interpreter, who had been on the Southern Boundary Commission with General Liu and had given much trouble by his obstructiveness and impertinence. Shortly after, however, this young gentleman was discovered by the Taotai to be levying a private contribution in the neighbouring bazaar, as was the custom in the good old days of General Liu. The Taotai ordered him out of the camp in disgrace, and we heard no more of him. \n\nI told the Taotai that these so-called claims of Tien Tan were entirely beyond discussion, and that I must refuse to talk about them. The Taotai acknowledged that Tsai had no sort of control over the country in question and no documentary evidence to support his map, that Tsai was hopelessly incompetent, and that the claims might be considered as withdrawn. I therefore hope that no more will be heard of them or of the Mali-kha frontier. \n\nThe claims of Tien Tan to the headwaters of the Chi Pwi seemed to call for examination on the spot. So, accompanied by Mr. Lakin, one of the surveyors, and a Chinese deputy, I went over the Pau Wa Pass towards the N'Maikha. This pass is the easiest of all those which cross the divide, being only 7,800 feet and approached by a broad track ascending across downs. The crest is only 7 miles from Ma Li Pa, and after a short descent on the other side, we struck one of the headwaters of the Chi Pwi. The country is very wild and grand; precipitous mountains covered with patches of dense forest and bamboo brake descended to the narrow broken valley of the river. A lofty snow-capped ridge which forms the divide on the right bank of the Chi Pwi was a conspicuous object. It is known locally as the Kao Liang Kung, a common name for a high peak in this country. The first village passed on the N'Maikha side was Chang Yin Kon, 6 miles from the Pau Wa Pass. It consisted of three small wretched huts, inhabited by Lisu. Five miles further on, we passed Chung Shan, which used to give its name to the whole district, but now consists of only four huts and some deserted gardens. Descending along the Chi Pwi for 4 miles further, we passed Lu Pi, where we found extensive remains of orchards and paddy-fields, a fact which seems to support the statement that formerly the valley was cultivated by a considerable population of Lisu. \n\nThree miles beyond Lu Pi is, or rather was, Shi Pao; this was the last Lisu settlement down the Chi Pwi. We found that the only inhabitants were a cock pheasant and a covey of partridges, the villagers having all dispersed. Doubtless much of this desolation was the work of the Chinese, who came over and ravaged this country in 1902. \n\nFrom Shi Pao, the surveyor ascended the Kao Liang ridge to a pass 9,000 feet, whence he was able to connect his work with the first Kachin (Maru) village of Lachang, the position of which had already been fixed by Mr. Hertz's party in 1900. We then returned to Ma Li Pa after a pleasant excursion of five days; on the way, we met a party of Marus from the Lower Chi Pwi, who had been across to the Tien Tan Valley to trade. \n\nNone of these Lisu hamlets on the Chi Pwi now give anything to Tien Tan, for various reasons, of which the principal is that they have nothing to give. There are no permanent Chinese residents in the Chi Pwi Valley, but in the open season, some wood-cutters go over from Tien Tan. \n\n## III. Ming Kwang Valley, Hparè, and Teu Chu. \n\nFrom Ma Li Pa, the main camp was then moved east across the hills into the Ming Kwang Valley, where the Taotai took up his abode at the official residence of Tso, the Fu Yi or Chief of Upper Ming Kwang, while Mr. Leveson and I formed camp about 14 miles higher up in the Valley of Cha Shan Ho, a brook which runs down from the pass leading from Ming Kwang over the watershed to Hparè. \n\n| Event | Location | Description |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Taotai's abode | Official residence of Tso, Upper Ming Kwang | Fu Yi or Chief of Upper Ming Kwang |\n| Mr. Leveson and I formed camp | Valley of Cha Shan Ho | 14 miles higher up, brook runs down to Hparè |\n\nThe arrangements which the Regent of Ming Kwang (the Fu Yi being a minor) made for the Taotai were no better than Tsai's in Tien Tan, and the Regent felt a good deal of the rough side of the Taotai's tongue. Neither he nor the young Fu Yi came to see us, though I understand that this omission was by order of the Taotai; but several Lashi Kachins from Hparè, who had been to the Ming Kwang bazaar, came into Mr. Leveson's camp, including one of the Headman's sons. They gave valuable information, which persuaded Mr. Leveson that we should meet with a friendly reception at Hparè, if the Chinese could be kept from insulting or molesting the natives. \n\nA survey party having been despatched to map in the watershed along the west of \n\n436 \n\n31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 403538, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "page_number": 447, "title": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "content_text": "440 \n\n14 \n\n[The Chinese firm pay one in ten—at least, so they told me—but I expect that they and the Lisu often evade payment.—G. L.] \n\n\"Beyond collecting toll and tribute Teng Keng never exercises any authority on the N'Maikha side of the watershed beyond the Salween divide. \n\nThe Upper Ngaw Chang Valley consists of steep grassy slopes, with pines and chestnuts, and very little cultivation. Mules from Ming Kwang are sometimes sent here to graze, and I met a few Szechuanese peddlers with their trade loads. Below Kang Fang there are some narrow strips of paddy-land on both sides of the river.\" \n\n## VI. The Lisu Country on the Upper Salween. \n\nI was accompanied from Pien Ma to the Salween by Surveyor Lachman Jadu; my object was to collect such further information about the main Salween-Irrawaddy divide as would enable His Majesty's Government to press for the definition of the frontier north of the point (about latitude 25° 50′) where this main divide is joined by the minor divide between the Ming Kwang and Ngaw Chang Rivers, or, what is the same, the divide between the Shweli and the N'Maikha. \n\nFrom Pien Ma the track ascended steeply in an easterly direction across open grassy hills. At 8,500 feet a magnificent view was unfolded. East of us the lofty snow-clad range between the Salween and the N'Maikha stretched away towards the north; to the south of us the crest of the divide between the Ngaw Chang and the Ming Kwang Rivers stood clearly out against the sky for many miles. Nothing could have shown more clearly than this view the fitness and convenience of the frontier which we claim. \n\nBelow us lay the scattered village of Pien Ma with its narrow valley of paddy-fields stretching down to the dark gorge in which flows the Ngaw Chang. Beyond, and hanging over the right bank of the Ngaw Chang, was another majestic range of snow-clad peaks forming a barrier between the Lashi (Chinese, Cha Shau) country, which we had been exploring, and Lang-su, as it is known to the Chinese. \n\nLang-su is a general term indicating all the wild Maru country beyond the Ngaw Chang and west of the great Salween divide. It appears to be generally recognized by the Chinese as not being under their control, and no claims were put forward in respect of it. The N'Maikha above the junction of the Ngaw Chang is known to the very few Chinese who have been there as the Laug-su River. \n\nWe crossed into the Salween basin by the Pien Ma Pass at 10,500 feet. This pass is usually practicable for mules, but we found the narrow path along the hill-side leading down from the summit deep in loose wet snow, across which it was impossible for animals to proceed. We were accordingly compelled to send the mules round by the Ma Mien Pass, a détour of twelve days, and do as best we could with coolie porters. The descent on the Salween side was very steep along the gorge of the Ku Tan Stream, which joins the Salween just north of the village of Teng Keng, after a rapid course of 12 miles. After camping in the jungle some 4 miles above the scattered village of Ku T'an, we climbed up a very steep spur on the left of the stream till we reached 6,500 feet, or 3,500 feet above the Salween, whence a long half-day's march of 8 miles northwards along steep bare hill-sides with several steep ascents and descents brought us to the Lisu village of La Chang (thirty houses), situated at 6,000 feet on a wooded terrace high above the Salween. \n\nHere we reached the fatherland of the Lisu tribe, for the Lisu villages scattered about the hills further south are all emigrations from the Upper Salween. Very few of the inhabitants of La Chang can speak more than a few sentences of Chinese. At Mao Chao, the next village to the north, only the attendants of the semi-Chinese Headman can speak the language of Han. Beyond Mao Chao there are no Chinese at all except two families resident at Cheng Ka, by the banks of Salween, latitude 26°, a small village with some paddy-fields, where there is a rope sling-bridge and a ferry-raft for crossing the river in low water. \n\nWe advanced three marches north of Lu Chang, camping at the villages of Mao Chao, Shih Pai Lai Ti, and Pai Pa; fortunately, lucid moments between the perpetual thunderstorms which swept down the valley in quick succession enabled the surveyor, by advancing above and beyond Pai Pa, to map the river and the high snow-clad divide between it and the Irrawaddy as far as latitude 26° 30′. \n\nI may therefore here put together in brief the information which I have collected on this and other journeys concerning the Upper Salween—i.e., above the iron suspension bridge on the main Burmah-Ta Li road. \n\n15 \n\nFrom the bridge northwards as far as Teng Keng, latitude 26°, the river, though its basin is only some 20 miles across, flows through comparatively open country, the great mountains on both sides breaking down to the banks in open rolling downs with ample room for rice cultivation, but, owing to the extreme unhealthiness of the valley, only a small part of it is cultivated by a mixed population of Shans and Chinese. There are, however, numerous Chinese villages along the upper slopes. The principal ferry in this section is at Meng Ku, latitude 25° 36', near the market of Man Yin, on the right or west bank, which is the last bazaar on the Upper Salween, and is situated in a broad paddy-valley at the foot of the Ma Mien Pass over to the valley of Ta Tang (Upper Shweli). \n\nFrom Teng Keng, in latitude 26° northwards, to about 27° 40', the river, which maintains an equal breadth of 100 yards for a great distance, is enclosed in a gorge as precipitous as the cañon of the Mekong. From about latitude 26° the range on the west bank forms the main divide between the Salween and the Irrawaddy, and its array of peaks is covered with snow for at least eight months of the year. This range is also an important ethnographical boundary, forming a barrier between the Maru country along the east of N'Maikha and the Lisu country along the west bank of the Salween. The Salween Lisu seem to regard this range as the frontier, and speak of their own Liso country—i.e., the Salween Valley—in contradistinction to Langsu, the Kachin country on the other side of the range. \n\nThe gorge section of the Salween appears to be entirely inhabited by Lisu, a tribe closely allied to the Lolo, and probably of Thibetan origin. They are well aware of the unhealthiness of the river banks, and nearly all their villages are 3,000 feet above the bottom of the gorge, even though the paddy-fields have to be squeezed into the few gaps in the cliffs by the river banks. \n\nThe characteristic of this gorge of the Salween is the tremendous series of sharp steep spurs which come straight down from the snows to the river in an endless succession of parallels. It must be remembered that while the river itself here flows at 3,000 feet, and the mountains between it and the Irrawaddy basin on the west, or the basin of the Mekong on the east, rise to heights from 10,000 feet to 13,000 feet, the whole width of the valley from crest to crest of the two ranges is only some 18 miles in an air-line; from native information it appears that the spurs which descend to the N'Maikha on the west side of the great divide are quite as numerous and difficult as those which we negotiated on our journey northwards from Lu Chang. \n\nFrom about latitude 27° 40′ northwards to the confines of Thibet the valley of the Salween is again somewhat more open. Wide stretches of country are covered with tall grass, and the bulk of the population in this section consists of Lu Tzu, a tribe in a very backward condition and probably closely allied to the Ching-paw or Kachins. \n\nThe French `Missions Étrangères` have recently sent a priest to work among these people, and he has established himself at Chongra on the left bank at about latitude 28°. He has seen and even ascended the Salween-Irrawaddy divide, which is here the boundary between the Lu and the Chiu tribes, who inhabit the eastern sources of the Irrawaddy. This same divide was crossed by Prince Henri of Orleans at an altitude of 12,800 feet, in latitude approximately 27° 40'. \n\nIt is therefore submitted that it may be regarded as established that a high regular range divides the Salween from the Irrawaddy basin as far as the sources of the latter river, and that north of the point (about latitude 25° 52′) where the Ming Kwang-N'Maikha divide joins it, this main range is not only the most convenient frontier, but also the only frontier which His Majesty's Government can accept, and that the sooner the Government of Peking can be brought to comprehend this the better. \n\nTravelling in the Lisu country is a series of steep climbs up the almost perpendicular sides of spurs, followed by break-neck descents on the other side. The scattered villages of rude log or bamboo huts with grass thatching are generally situated near the ridges of the spurs. The streams between the spurs are violent mountain torrents crossed by rickety plank bridges, and the bottom of each little valley is occupied by a hot and steamy jungle, whence the perspiring traveller climbs painfully up to the breezy ridges. The Taotai with much difficulty got a small mountain chair as far as Mao Chao, but there had to call a halt while I and the surveyor proceeded `pedibus cum jambis`. \n\nCultivation on the steep hill slopes along the river is extensive but precarious, as the fields are liable to be swept bodily away into the Salween; paddy-fields are few, and are...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 404131, "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": "CO129-332 - Public Offices & Others - 1905", "page_number": 393, "title": "CO129-332 - Public Offices & Others - 1905", "content_text": "# Bench Ian ove \n\nC.O. \n\n10002 \n\nRips PEC? \n\nTREG 29 \n\n150 \n\n2 path In arch\": \n\n391 \n\nI greatly appreciate and thank you for your courtesy in directing to be sent in sequence an extract from a letter from Sir Mather Nathan in regard to the Re-forestation question in Hongkong.\n\nA letter had been received in Hongkong from one disapproving of what had been done.

(Signed)\n\nERNEST SATOW\n\n(No. 16.) Sir,\n\nInclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nConsul Fox to Sir E. Satow.\n\nIchung, November 19, 1905.\n\nMR. OTTEWILL, in his Intelligence Report for the March quarter, 1905, referred to the construction of a tracking path through the Yang-tsze gorges between Ichang and Kueifu. He mentioned that a sum of 30,000 taels had been subscribed by various officials, and that the work had been put in the charge of Fu Ting Chen, Brigadier-General of Lehang.\n\nWith this money a considerable stretch of new road has been constructed and existing paths have been repaired. With the object of raising a permanent fund for the upkeep of these paths and other improvements, the original subscribers, headed by Li Min Chen, Provincial Treasurer of Hupei and Yu Shao K'ang, the late Ching Chou Taotai, both natives of Szechuan, have obtained the Viceroy's permission to establish a Pao Lu Chu, or Road Maintenance Office, at Ichang, which will be authorized to levy a small fee on all vessels proceeding up-river; proceeds to be devoted to the upkeep and extension of existing pathways and the erection of certain aids to navigation, such as hand-capstans with wire hawsers, at the most dangerous rapids. The expectant Prefect, Chan Te Ping, until lately Department Magistrate at Kuei Chou, has been appointed Deputy in charge.\n\nThe Ching Chou Taotai, in a despatch to my predecessor dated the 29th October, copy and translation of which I have the honour to inclose, outlines the scheme and asks me to approve of the proposed fees being levied on vessels chartered by British firms. The ten Regulations he refers to, wherein the scheme is discussed in detail, have since undergone considerable alteration, and as I am promised a copy of the amended rules in a few days' time, I do not inclose the original draft, but will forward copy and translation of the new Regulations as soon as I receive them.\n\nThe proposed levy of 4 cash per tiao (1,000 cash) of freight, to be divided between shipper and junk-master, was soon found to be quite impracticable. I understand that the foreign Customs have now been asked to undertake the collection of these \"subscriptions,\" undoubtedly the only practical method of raising the money. The levy will in effect take the form of a small increase in the port dues at present collected by the Maritime Customs on behalf of the Chao Kuan, or Native Customs. The present dues amount, roughly speaking, to 150 cash per ton measurement on junks under 10 tons, and 200 cash per ton on junks exceeding that tonnage. It is proposed to collect an additional four-tenths, making the total dues payable 210 cash and 280 cash per ton respectively. Separate receipts will be issued, and the money thus collected will, as at present arranged, be handed over to the Pao Lu Chi. As chartered junks will naturally be included in the levy, it becomes, as a matter of fact, a small additional tax on foreign goods.\n\nThe question naturally arises, have the Chinese authorities the right to impose such extra tax, however small and however worthy its object, without the consent of\n\n[1878 ua-1]\n\nB", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 406906, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "page_number": 202, "title": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "content_text": "the foreign Representatives in Peking? Further, if such consent is necessary, will it be accorded in the present instance? It is on these two points that I have the honour to ask for your instructions.\n\nAs regards the first, I have been unable to find in the archives of this Consulate any definite ruling on the subject. Article 6 of the Revised Yang-tsze Regulations says, \"Native craft owned or chartered by British merchants on entry into any port will pay port dues according to Chinese tariff,\" while the Chungking Agreement (Article 4) differentiates between foreign-owned and chartered junks, the former to pay tonnage dues according to Treaty, the latter port dues, as above stipulated. (I should here mention that there are at present no foreign-owned vessels plying between this port and Chungking.)\n\nThe Commissioner of Customs, with whom I have discussed the matter, is of opinion that the levy in question need not, and should not, be regarded as an increase in the port dues; that it should be considered as a special contribution made by all vessels using the upper river to an object in which they are directly interested; and that as long as a sufficient portion of the revenue derived from the Native Customs is devoted, in the terms of the Final Protocol, to the payment of the indemnity, no objection can be taken to the Chinese authorities levying an extra tax in the manner and for the purpose indicated.\n\nHis argument appears to me to be eminently reasonable, but, as a question of principle and of precedent, I venture to think that your consent is necessary to these fees being levied on vessels chartered by British firms at Ichang and Chungking.\n\nAssuming this view to be correct, I would submit that, with certain reservations, the scheme proposed by the Chinese authorities might well be given a trial. It should be distinctly understood that, as the collection is to be in the hands of the Maritime Customs, that Department must have some, if not the whole, control over the expenditure. One might even go a step further and suggest that the Commissioner of Customs at Ichang, with the expert assistance at his disposal in the Coast Department, should direct the operations of the Pao Lu Chu. This arrangement was recommended by Lieutenant-Commander Watson, of His Majesty's ship Woodcock, in December 1901. (Hydrographic Department Reports No. 181, Yang-taze No. 2.)\n\nIt is, I venture to think, necessary to guard against the Chinese authorities prejudicing, by ill-considered and imperfect attempts at bridling the rapids of the Upper Yang-tsze, the Treaty right of foreign shipping firms to effect the necessary improvements themselves. On the other hand, we should, perhaps, do well not to discourage the somewhat new and unusual interest now being displayed by the local authorities in this important question.\n\nI have briefly replied to the Taotai (copy and translation of my despatch inclosed) intimating that your approval is necessary before I can agree to any further fees being levied on chartered junks, and in conversation with Mr. Chang, the new Deputy, who has called on me, I have assured him that any practical scheme for the improvement of the waterways above Ichang will most certainly have the sympathy and support of the British Government.\n\nDr. Müller, the German Consul, has written to the Taotai in a similar sense.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) HARRY H. FOX.\n\nThe special rate, if levied impartially, on native junks would appear to be within the province of the Chinese authorities.\n\nE. H. FRASER.\n\nHankow, November 24, 1905.\n\n(Translation.)\n\nSir,\n\n(Signed)\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nChin Taotai to Acting Consul Ottewill.\n\nKuang Hsü, 31st year, 10th moon, 2nd day\n\n(October 29, 1905).\n\nTHE rapid flow of the waters of the upper river is a constant source of danger to life, and, accordingly, vessels greatly dread the journey, owing to the fact that, the banks on both sides being precipitous, there is no room for a proper tracking path, so that trackers have the greatest difficulty in passing the dangerous places. Last year my predecessor, Yü Taotai, obtained permission from the high authorities to raise a fund (for the purpose of constructing a road), and, in conjunction with the Provincial Treasurer Li and a gentleman of Chiang Hsia, named Han, collected the money required. They appointed Chang Te Ping, late Department Magistrate of Kuei Chou, and others to place in thorough repair the tracking paths through the gorges. A year was spent in completing this work.\n\nIt is obvious that work of this kind, to be of any real value, must be continued and not allowed to drop; if these paths are not kept in good repair they will certainly not last, and the labour spent on them will be in vain.\n\nMr. Chang has therefore, in accordance with his instructions, drawn up a set of proposed Regulations, ten in number, whereby an Office, to be called Pao Lu Chu, is established at Ichang, and all vessels proceeding up-river, whether chartered by foreigners or native-owned, shall pay a fee based on the amount of their freight—viz., 2 cash per 1,000 (tiao) to be paid by the shipper, and 2 cash per 1,000 by the junk-master, the proceeds to be devoted to the annual upkeep of the tracking paths. As this proposal will affect chartered junks, he asks me to request the Consul to be good enough to instruct all owners of British chartered junks to pay in accordance with the above Regulations.\n\nI am\n\nI have the honour to observe that a levy of this kind is a worthy undertaking for the benefit of merchants, and, moreover, the subscription of 2 cash on every 1,000 cash worth of freight is extremely light. Knowing well the great interest you take in commercial matters, I am sure (the proposal) will meet with your approval. Addressing a similar despatch to the German Consul and the Commissioner of Customs, and I beg to inclose, for your information, a copy of the Regulations referred to.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Seal of Taotai.)\n\nSir,\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nConsul Fox to Chin Taotai.\n\nKuang Hsü, 31st year, 10th moon, 20th day\n\n(November 16, 1905).\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch addressed to my predecessor, Mr. Ottewill, dated the 29th October, in which you state that, in order to maintain in good repair the tracking path through the gorges constructed last year, it is proposed to levy a small fee on all vessels, both foreign-chartered and native-owned, proceeding up-river. You add that for this purpose an Office named Pao Lu Chü will be established at Ichang, and you ask me to instruct British owners of chartered junks to subscribe in accordance with the Regulations, copy of which is inclosed.\n\nI have the honour to observe that, all dues paid by foreign-owned and chartered vessels being regulated by Treaty and Agreements concluded between our respective Governments, I myself have not the power to consent or to withhold my consent to any additional levy being made; this is a matter for settlement between the Wai-wu Pu and the British Minister in Peking.\n\nI am accordingly forwarding copy of your despatch and the proposed Regulations for the consideration of the Minister, and on the receipt of his reply I will again communicate with you on the subject.\n\nThe scheme of maintaining in good repair the tracking path through the gorges and providing capstans and hawsers at the most difficult points for the assistance of ascending vessels is undoubtedly a most excellent one, benefiting alike native and foreign merchants and travellers. If hereafter it is mutually agreed to raise funds for the purpose, the simplest way, in my opinion, would be for the Foreign Customs at Ichang to undertake the collection of subscriptions, on behalf of the Pao Lu Chu, as a temporary measure.\n\nThe Foreign Customs have for some years past collected all dues on both foreign and native shipping at this port, so that their so doing in the present case would on the one hand save expenses, and on the other be more likely to meet with the approval of the merchants concerned.\n\n(Signed)\n\nI have, &c.\n\nHARRY H.

The steamer touched at Yun Ki, Mahning, Kumchuk and Kaukong taking 9, 2, 31 and 37 passengers at these places respectively. Dinner was served in the saloon at 6 p.m., the Captain, F.W. Joslin, the Chief Engineer, J.W. Seggie, and Dr. MacDonald being present. At about 6.45 these three were talking together on the dack outside the saloon door on the port side when they saw one of the Indian watchmen running forward towards them pursued by a Chinese with a revolver. Captain Joslin hurried aft to the watchman's help and knocked down his assailant who however sprang up and fired at him at close quarters. The bullet struck him full in the middle of the body. A number of men armed with revolvers came running up the ladder. The three Europeans accompanied by the watchmen turned back and made for the ladder leading to the wheelhouse where the arms were kept, but were headed off by a second band of pirates who had come up on the starboard side. They took refuge in the saloon, but the pirates began to pour their fire through the windows to avoid which the four men got under the table a solid teakwood one. A \"stinkpot\" was however thrown in, burning the Engineer considerably and rendering the position untenable. Dr. MacDonald, Captain Joslin and the Indian watchman went out by the starboard door and Mr. Seggie, the Engineer, by the port door.

Some regard it as an attempt on the part of the Peking Government to show the world that Confucianism is still a living force, and will shortly be adopted by the Throne as the State religion of China. They wish the world to understand that neither Western Christianity nor Japanese Buddhism, nor any imported creed, is desired in China, as Confucius is the coequal of Heaven, and his teachings have the force of heavenly doctrines. The step savours, some argue, of the spirit of \"China for the Chinese,” and is mainly directed against foreigners and their religion.\n\nBut to our mind the step has different and far greater significance. It implies the triumph once more of conservatism and reaction over progress and reform. It means the returning ascendency of the old, ignorant, and obstructive forces over those of enlightenment, liberty, and truth. It means a sop intended for the pacification of those old officials, scholars, and others who detest the introduction of Western education and civilization into this country, and are dissatisfied with the abolishment of the old system of literary examination, and the introduction of the new.\n\nThe proposal was originated from Chang Chih-tung, China's oldest and at heart the most Conservative Viceroy, and he has been ordered to revise and reprint the Confucian classics with a view to preventing young students from being misled by advanced foreign education and becoming unsuitable for Government service.\n\nIf the movement is all that appears on the surface, it need not cause any serious alarm to the friends of China, as it is quite natural and reasonable for the scholarly class to desire to preserve the classics in their pristine glory and perpetuate the memory of the great Confucius to all ages to come. But the elevation of an earthly being, however wise, excellent, and virtuous, into a coequal with Deity, and requiring the same sacrifice as that offered to heaven and earth, will hardly tend to convince the world of the enlightenment of those in power in Peking.\n\nBut we feel convinced that the step has been taken, not so much with the object of elevating and perpetuating Confucianism as the desire to stem the influence of Western learning in China. The Confucian scholars are becoming alarmed. The old system of examination, which was the only path to officialdom and fame and riches has been done away with, and a new system of examination in which Western learning and knowledge form the principal requirements has been substituted. No wonder these scholars have tried their best to belittle these examinations and nullify their effects. According to the old system, successful candidates at the examination mean official preferment in the Government service and special privileges according to the rank of the literary licentiate. In the last examination the successful candidates were given honorary degrees which merely confirmed their status as literary, legal, medical, or technical men, but no official appointments were conferred. We have heard that some of the successful candidates have been given posts in Peking, but not before they had purchased a Taotai rank. Mr. Chen Chin-tao, who obtained first honours at the recent examination, has been given posts in the Ministries of Education and Finance, but he had to purchase a Taotai rank first, the degree he obtained at the recent examination being regarded of no official value whatever. Another of the recent successful candidates who obtained the degree of Chinshih has been given a high post in the Ministry of Posts and Communications, but it was because he was already in possession of a Taotai rank.\n\nThus it will be seen that the conservative forces at Peking evidently do not intend that Chinese of Western education and training shall step into the Government service unless they obtain the right to do so through purchase or by climbing up from the lowest rung of the official ladder. What educated men may expect is empty degrees, which confer on the holder neither special honour nor substantial privileges.\n\nWe believe, therefore, that it was the spirit of protest and restlessness against Western education and learning which has prompted officials to recommend to their Majesties the issuance of the Decrees noted above.\n\n## 3\n\nBut the Conservatives, in the eagerness of their zeal to obstruct reform and progress, are disregarding the teaching and policy of their master, the great Confucius. According to the ultra-Conservatives, the Confucian teachings are all-embracing and all-sufficing, and in the Confucian school that is to be established at Chu-fu, nothing else shall be taught. No foreign languages, no foreign education of any kind whatsoever, shall be allowed to pollute the pure, heavenly teaching of the wise Sage. Confucius himself, however, never regarded himself as omniscient, nor taught his disciples as such. He repeatedly taught his disciples that there were many things in philosophy and ethics, and even among the commonplaces of life, which he did not know, but in which he was willing to be taught by others. He travelled far and wide in search of information and of men who could impart to him information. Disappointed in one State in getting what he sought for, he travelled to another State, and so continued to teach and be taught all through his life. It devolves upon his so-called disciples of the twentieth century to proclaim and act upon the dogma that Confucius was all-wise and all-knowing, and consequently his teachings are all-sufficient for China.\n\nPage 575", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-343 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 411976, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 476, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## DOMESTIC.\n### HONG KONG\nNoo 26447.\n\n**REC 25 JUL 07**\nC.C 26447\n\nfor Individual.\n\nreqi. 1907 \n14 July \n424 \n\n(Subject.) \nin Canton waters \net previous Paper.\n\n70 \nPutty \nJuful \ncob further dest foron thing as to \nWur Fiddes \n\n(Minutes.) \n- The prospects of anything bring dove \nmuste. \nCoppy has \nSR2 \nto Hong Kong. \nSone \n?

The Chinese Engineering and Mining Company was originally founded as a Peiyang official concern, and our Government has never recognized its transformation into a Limited Liability Company. Some time since I ordered Taotai Chang Yi and the Customs Taotai to consult with the Representative of the Company with a view to devising some satisfactory scheme for winding-up the affairs of the Company which I could report to the throne to decide on, but as the matter has dragged on for two years without any solution coming into view, I have merely done my duty and exercised an authority which is rightly mine.

In the meanwhile it is regarded as a \"job\" on the part of the Board of Ceremonies, a Ministry which has been shorn of most of its functions in recent years, and which has devised this method of obtaining a grant from the Treasury of 20,000 taels (£3,000) for initial expenses, and an annual allowance of 30,000 taels (£4,500) for upkeep and salaries.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nJ.

Past Emperors of our dynasty have attached prime importance to the improvement and elucidation of the teaching of ceremonies. In the reigns of Chien Lung and Tao Kuang several revisions were made of the \"Cyclopædia of Ceremonies\" for the guidance of the people. At the present time the ceremonies proper in schools, in the army, in the treatment of strangers, need to be adapted to the times, and among the people mourning, sacrifices, the assumption of the cap of manhood, marriage, utensils, palanquins, and clothes all need to be brought into due order. Some time ago the Board of Ceremonies, after requesting the sanction of the throne, established an office for the study of ceremonies, and has now submitted for our perusal a plan which it has considered and drawn up. It is hereby commanded that its proposals be put into effect. It is the duty of the President and Vice-Presidents of the Board to guide the members of that office in considering ancient and modern times, making researches into the customs of the people, and discriminating among them till they are quite as they should be. They should then memorialize the throne, and ask for their scheme to be promulgated, so that all men may enter upon the right path. It is our earnest hope that \"the unchanging rule will be rectified, and the people roused to virtue,\" thus doing their part towards our purpose of establishing a Constitution.\n\n[2652 i-5] \n\n## AFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL.**\n\n| Column 1 | Column 2 |\n| --- | --- |\n| 0. | 34181 REC 139 [September Ep 07 |\n| (This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Governmekt.] | |\n\n2 \n\nChinese Engineering and Mining Company (Limited), cannot allow confiscation of the Company's property.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nL.

Public opinion was making itself felt everywhere, new ideas were permeating the masses, and to put the matter frankly, there was a national awakening with which the statesmen of to-day had to reckon. The people had awoken from their long sleep and were taking stock of the situation.\n\nTurning to the specific causes of complaint which I had brought to his notice, his Highness said that a settlement of the Shansi difficulty was, he thought, in sight. He had personally conferred with Ting, the Judge of the province, and they had agreed upon a plan of action which, on the Judge's return to Shansi in about two months' time, would be submitted to the Agent-General of the Syndicate through the Shansi Bureau of Commerce. The Governor of the province was not a man of sufficient grit to deal with the question, but he had confidence in the Judge's capacity to bring it to a successful solution. The Syndicate itself was not altogether without blame for what had occurred as it was very slow in taking any steps to work its Concession at the outset.\n\nHis Highness regarded the condition of the railway negotiations as much more hopeful than I had described it. The Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze line was, he understood, making good progress between M. Cordes and his Excellency Liang Tun-yen, and he foresaw a speedy settlement of that question.\n\nThe Soochow-Ningpo extension presented greater difficulties, but there also he contended that the Imperial Government had given practical proof of its desire to expedite matters as much as possible. Two months ago the question had been placed in the hands of Wang, the late Minister in London, whose position and experience rendered him peculiarly fit to deal with it. He had received his instructions immediately he landed in Shanghae a fortnight or so ago, and had since been actively engaged in paving the way for the opening of negotiations. The Prince regretted that Wang Ta-jên was prevented by illness from being present to give an account of his doings. In conclusion, the Prince desired me to convey an earnest assurance to His Majesty's Government that the Imperial Government would faithfully carry out all its engagements.\n\nI said that it would be my duty to do so, but that I should be glad if the Prince could furnish me with some more definite statement, as a general assurance coming even from his Highness could scarcely be expected to carry much weight after all the promises which had been transmitted in the past. What was now required was, not fresh promises, but performance, and nothing short of this would remove the grave feeling of disappointment felt by His Majesty's Government.\n\nThe Prince expressed a hope that I did not doubt the sincerity of his assurances, and said that his wish was to treat us in the most friendly manner. Other Powers had quite as good grounds for grievances as we had, and he appealed to me as one who had had long experience of China to have patience with the Chinese Government in its difficulties.\n\nThe Prince, I remarked, had spoken frankly about the national awakening, the state of feeling in the provinces, and other recent changes which rendered the task of the Central Government difficult.\n\n## Page 23\n\nHe would in return concede me the privilege of laying frankly before him some of the views which the altered situation suggested to others. The so-called national awakening was largely the work of students who had returned from Japan with a dangerous smattering of knowledge. Their sentiments formed the \"public opinion\" on which the policy of the Central Government was based. The students ruled the provinces, and the provinces ruled Peking. What struck the foreign observer as the essential difference between the China of to-day and the Japan of some thirty years ago was this:---\n\nIn her elder Statesmen Japan had a central authority which guided the country and exercised the right, when occasion required it, of imposing its will upon the people. In Peking the Wai-wu Pu was content to meet its Imperial engagements by the admission that it could give counsel, but not orders to the provinces. I had no hesitation in saying that twenty years ago the conduct of business was much easier with the old Tsung-li Yamên than it is with the reformed Wai-wu Pu, and the Prince as President of both Boards could pronounce upon the justice of the assertion.\n\nHis Excellency Na Tung, who was present, was disposed to demur to this statement and professed inability to understand our anxiety about railway concessions which appeared to him to be progressing favourably. As the active member of the Wai-wu Pu who was now largely responsible for its work, he would guarantee to do his utmost to see that they were put through as soon as possible.\n\nI pointed out that we had not used our Concessions as other Powers had for the advancement of political objects, and that the return we received for this disinterested action was that, while other nations were running their own railways on Chinese soil, we were debarred from constructing railways on terms which, as the recent Canton-Kowloon Agreement demonstrated, were conceived in the best interests of China herself. I considered myself justified in pressing for some definite assurance that effect would be given to our railway engagements within a limited space of time, but all I could extract was a statement from Na Tung that he hoped within a few days to be able to tell me how far Mr. Wang was in a position to enter upon the negotiations for the Soochow-Ningpo line. The consideration of the Thibetan question, which I had discussed on the previous day with Na Tung and on which I am reporting in another despatch, was continued at this interview, and I adduced the indifference which China had shown with regard to her engagements under the Adhesion Agreement of the 27th April, 1906, as another of the incidents which had produced a very unfavourable impression upon His Majesty's Government. In agreeing to accept payment of the indemnity from China, in fixing the date for the opening of trade-marts, in consenting to negotiate the amendment of the Trade Regulations with China and Thibet, instead of with Thibet alone, and in numerous other ways we had given substantial proofs of our desire to act in a spirit of friendly co-operation with China. This was not a case in which the Chinese Government could plead the exigencies of public opinion as an excuse for their action, and yet despite all the assurances of the Central Government, their officials on the spot had for months pursued a policy of gratuitous obstruction.\n\nThe Grand Secretary, Na Tung, interposed with the suggestion that we should let bygones be bygones on this question and look forward to smoother relations in the future. I reciprocated the wish and took my leave after an interview of nearly two hours.\n\n## Page 3\n\nThe question of bringing pressure to bear upon China to secure the fulfilment of Railway and Mining Concessions is a peculiarly difficult one. There is undoubtedly a strong public feeling on the subject which has means of making itself felt in ways that were unknown a few years ago. The American boycott and the Shanghae riot are recent instances of concerted retaliation of this kind. The correspondence forwarded in your despatch No. 214 of the 28th May will already have shown you the apprehensions which the Peking Syndicate's case has caused amongst the missionaries in Shansi, and several of them have assured me personally that any attempt to enforce the Syndicate's claims by material pressure would endanger the lives of all foreigners in the province, I think, therefore, it may be safely said that so far as Mining Concessions are concerned the interests involved, great as they are, are not sufficient to justify the risk of attempting to enforce them by other than ordinary diplomatic methods.\n\nOpinions will probably differ as to whether pressure of the kind indicated is likely to retard or hasten the completion of our railway negotiations, but there are many other considerations to be taken into account. Even if we force the Central Government to accept the Concessions on paper, the provinces can give us infinite trouble in carrying them into effect, and without their good-will even the purchase of the land might be a matter of difficulty.\n\nBut the advice which I have ventured to offer in my telegram No. 132 is largely based upon the belief, which events may not possibly justify, that with patience and perseverance we shall eventually secure the fulfilment of our railway obligations.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) J.

Another section of Robinson Road, Kowloon, extending from Market Street to Waterloo Road was undertaken and the removal of the hill North of Yaumati Theatre was continued, the material being used for private reclamation work North of the Naval Coaling Depôt. The extensions of Conduit Road in Easterly and Westerly directions and of the road past Kowloon City mentioned last year were completed, and a further section of the latter road extending to its junction with the Chin Lau Chu Road was undertaken. A new path, connecting Barker Road with May Road, as the extension of Conduit Road in an Easterly direction has been designated, was completed. \n\nThe extension and reconstruction of the Albany Filter Beds was continued, fair progress being made with the work. \n\nThe total amount expended on Public Works Extraordinary, exclusive of Advance Accounts and Deposits not Available, was $784,320 and on Works Annually Recurrent, $538,041. By the transfer of the item \"Typhoon and Rainstorm Damage\" from the former head to the latter, the first-mentioned sum has been diminished by $106,659 whilst that last-mentioned has been correspondingly increased. \n\nGood progress was made on the British Section of the Hongkong-Canton Railway the cost of which is being defrayed by a Loan. \n\nDuring the year 1907 the re-alignment consequent on the detailed survey by the Construction Engineers was completed and work commenced over the whole length. The reclamation for a site for Kowloon Station Yard was started in June. The actual heading driving in Beacon Hill Tunnel may be said to have started on January 1st, 1907. During the year two thousand one hundred feet of heading was driven from both ends and from the shafts sunk at both the North and South sides and four hundred and sixty-five feet of tunnel fully lined. About two-thirds of the compressor plant was in working order, the headings not being far enough advanced to necessitate special ventilating plant. There was difficulty experienced at first in obtaining sufficient labour for work underground but towards the end of the year on the rates being raised slightly a large number of skilled mining coolies returned from South Africa flocked to the work. \n\nBridge building progressed steadily all through the year as well as Earthwork and the minor tunnels, there being no very great difficulties to contend with except in one of the latter. A temporary metre gauge line was laid from the sea front at Lokloha to the North face, the shaft (278') was completed and a considerable number of houses for Staff erected. The systematic issue of quinine to all rail employés resulted in a diminution of malarial fever. \n\nThe expenditure on the work during the year amounted to $2,314,915. \n\n## VI-GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS\n\n### (a) HOSPITALS\n\nGovernment Hospitals consist of the Civil Hospital to which is attached an isolated Maternity Hospital, the Victoria Hospital for Women and Children, the Kennedy Town Infectious Diseases Hospital, and the hulk \"Hygeia\" used mainly for the treatment of Small-pox. \n\nThe Civil Hospital contains 150 beds in 19 wards. 2,711 in-patients and 17,302 out-patients were treated during the year 1907. \n\n243 cases of Malarial Fever were admitted as against 239 in 1906 and 267 in 1905. The Maternity Hospital contains 6 beds for Europeans and 4 for Asiatics. 87 confinements occurred during the year. The Victoria Hospital at the Peak contains 41 beds. During 1907, 211 patients were under treatment. Kennedy Town Hospital contains 26 beds. In 1907, 63 cases were treated, of which 16 were Plague. On the \"Hygeia\" 167 cases were treated, of which 96 were Small-pox. \n\n### (b) LUNATIC ASYLUM\n\nThe Asylum is under the direction of the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital. European and Chinese patients are separate, the European portion containing 8 beds in separate wards and the Chinese portion 16 beds. 222 patients of all races were treated during 1907, and there were 13 deaths. \n\n### (c) THE TUNG WAH HOSPITAL\n\nThis Hospital, opened in 1872, is mainly supported by the voluntary subscriptions of Chinese, but receives an annual grant of $8,000 from the Government. Only Chinese are treated in this institution which takes the place of a poor-house, and hospital for Chinese sick and destitute. Various other services not appertaining to a Hospital are performed by the Institution such as the free burial of the poor, the repatriation of destitutes, and the organisation of charitable relief in emergencies. Chinese as well as European methods of treatment are employed in accordance with the wishes expressed by the patients or their friends. About half the number are now treated by Western methods and the number is steadily increasing. The Hospital is managed by a Committee of Chinese gentlemen annually elected, their appointment being submitted to the Governor for confirmation; is under the direct charge of a Chinese Resident Surgeon, paid by the Government; and is under the supervision of a Visiting Physician who is a member of the Medical Department. \n\n## VII--INSTITUTIONS NOT SUPPORTED BY GOVERNMENT\n\nAmong institutions recognised and encouraged but not to any considerable extent supported by Government may be mentioned the Pó Leung Kuk, the College of Medicine for Chinese, and the City Hall. \n\nThe Pó Leung Kuk is an institution, incorporated in 1893, presided over by the Registrar General and an annually-elected Committee of 12 Chinese gentlemen, for the protection of women and children. The inmates of the Home receive daily instruction in elementary subjects and are allowed to earn pocket-money by needlework. During 1907, a total of 345 persons were admitted. Of these, 85 were released after enquiry, 5 were released under bond, 131 were placed in charge of their husbands, parents or relations, 1 was placed in charge of the Japanese Consul, 1 in charge of the French Consul, 22 were sent to charitable institutions in China, 16 were sent to School, Convent or Refuge, 12 were adopted and 38 were married. Thirty-four persons remained in charge of the Society at the end of the year. \n\nThe Hongkong College of Medicine was founded in 1887. The government of the College is vested in the Court, of which the Rector of the College, who has always been a Government official, is President. 102 students have been enrolled up to the end of 1907, and of these 33 have become qualified licentiates and have obtained various posts under Government and elsewhere. The institution is of great value in spreading a knowledge of Western medical science among the Chinese; and in addition to the employment of certain of the licentiates in the public service, and in the Chinese Dispensaries the senior students have frequently been made use of for various purposes during epidemics. A Government grant-in-aid of $2,500 is made to the College, to be used as honoraria to the lecturers, who are either Government officials or Medical practitioners in local practice.

Coming as it did so soon after the heavy rains of the previous week, which culminated in a severe thunderstorm on the 24th, the damage done on land was very great, and most of the houses in the Colony suffered some damage. At \"Kingsclere\" Hotel, a chimney was blown down, which, falling through the roof, caused considerable damage, and the débris buried a European for some hours. I have received a letter from Messrs. Showan, Tomes & Co. thanking the Police for their \"splendid work in rescuing him\". The party was in charge of Chief Inspector Baker. A similar mishap in King's Buildings caused a collapse, which was doubtless made more serious by the presence of some heavy iron safes on the upper floors. Fortunately, no loss of life occurred. A number of old houses collapsed at Yaumati and Shaukiwan, resulting in 66 deaths. Several Mission houses in Cheung Chau were blown down. Trees suffered severely everywhere: telephones and telegraphs also. With the exception of the loss of the S.S. \"Ying King\", which foundered in Castle Peak Bay, the damage done afloat was not so serious as might have been expected. Several ships went ashore, including H.M.S. \"Whiting\", or dragged their moorings. Seven launches were sunk and seven went ashore. A water boat and several lighters were sunk. Three of the Police launches were damaged. They sheltered at the Naval Yard Camber with the kind permission of Commander Penfold, R.N. Many junks were reported sunk or missing. The total number of drowned and missing being 532, of whom 5 are Europeans and one a Japanese. The Secretary of the H.K. & K. Godown Company has written to tender thanks for the services rendered by Inspector Langley and the Water Police.\n\nThe crew of the H.M.S. \"Astroa's\" cutter gallantly rescued six Chinese and were assisted ashore by two Officers of the Middlesex Regiment and a Civilian. The Police in the Eastern District did good work under Inspector Fenton. Sergeants Clarke and Devney and P.C. Ogg received some injuries, and P.C. Pepperell, in charge of a launch, is suffering from Bronchitis in consequence of the inclement weather. Sergeant Boole, in charge of No. 1 Launch, fell overboard in the Naval Yard Camber owing to the launch heeling over from the impact of another launch, and was pulled up by Seaman 465 Lam Kun Hoi, just in time to avoid being crushed by a launch; this seaman deserves recognition for his prompt action. The Police had the misfortune to lose their Club matshed, which was completely wrecked.\n\n## Enclosure 5.\n\n### Botanic Gardens\n\n* Old Gardens.—A large proportion of the big trees damaged, several destroyed.

Some affirm that the French have been the less careful to keep down expenses, because they desired to put it beyond the power of China to repurchase the line, or, if, per impossibile, the latter did raise the money for repurchase, because they looked to China to pay the piper. Since the Peking Government would expect Yunnan to provide the greater part, if not the whole, of the purchase price; since France is not likely to ask less than 6,000,000l.; and since Yünnan, unaided, could hardly raise a tithe of that sum, it would seem as if the negotiations now said to be on foot between the Chinese Minister at Paris and the French Government are not to be taken very seriously.\n\nTo return to the Reports. You will notice how even so very unimportant a question as the transference of an iron bridge from one position to another has to be submitted to the Governor-General of Indo-China for sanction. You will observe, also, the distrust felt by the Construction Company of the action of the Chinese authorities; in particular, the conviction that nothing will be done to protect the line from theft. Attention, too, is drawn to the constant landslides from which the permanent way suffers during the rains, notably in the Namhti Valley.\n\nThese landslides have, indeed, so delayed progress that for the three weeks ended the 15th September last, no rails could be laid down. Railhead is at the present time (the 24th October) at about kilometre 64 above Laokai. By the 1st January next it is expected that the line will, nevertheless, be in full working order up to Lahati (kilometre 71), and will be to this extent handed over to the concessionary Company. It will, however, be noticed that a change is proposed in the site for this station (Report No. 42, section 5).\n\nThe rest of the Report needs little comment. Pi-che-tehai (Pi-se Chai) is the point where the railway descends to the Mengtzu plain, and where the customs station for Mengtzu is to be situated (see my despatch No. 11 of the 9th June last). Tche-ts'ouan (Chih-ch'uang) is the station for Mi-la-ti (kilometre 156), a plateau, 5,578 feet above sea-level, that has been suggested as a possible health resort for Tongking. Amitchéou (A-mi Chou), whose insanitary condition is deplored, is designed to be the first railway stage from Yunnan-fu—the stage where travellers by rail will have to spend the night. As regards the question of the reservation of a towing-path between the Yunnan-sen (Yunnan-fu) station and the river, I have not heard the result of M. Arnould's conference; but the land remains unoccupied. The river empties into the K'un-yang Lake (the largest of the Yunnan lakes), and if properly canalized could bring cargo-boats right up to the station—hence the importance to the Railway Company of keeping its approaches open.\n\nI have, &c.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.—(Received December 14.)\n\nPeking, October 30, 1907.\n\nThe accompanying letter from Mr. Bland, the agent of the British and Chinese Corporation, deals with a question which is in serious need of adjustment in view of the extension of railway construction in China. The report which Mr. Bland incloses from the Traffic Manager of the Shanghae-Nanking Railway shows how that line is affected by the discrimination in favour of water-borne traffic in the matter of li-kin charges and similar difficulties are certain to occur wherever the two means of communication come into competition with each other. What is really wanted is a uniform tariff and system of collection adapted to the altered conditions consequent upon the development of railway construction, but the Board of Communications has, by the composition of its personnel, been singularly unfitted from the outset to deal with this and other pressing problems.\n\nIt will help us to furnish an answer to the continual complaints which the Chinese make about the Shanghae-Nanking Railway being an undertaking which can never hope to prove remunerative owing to the extravagant outlay in its construction. This is one of the arguments which they have repeatedly used against being obliged to embark in the Soochow-Ningpo extension.\n\nThe Shanghae-Nanking line will be the first railway in China, with the trifling exception of the Canton-Samshui line, to form a link of communication between Treaty ports, and some arrangement will have to be made for assimilating the duties charged upon goods carried by it to those levied under the Maritime Customs Tariff on steamer-borne produce.\n\nMr. Bland has submitted the whole question to the Board of Communications and asked for the appointment of a Director-General with whom the matter may be discussed and arranged, but as long as his Excellency Ch'ên-pi remains at the head of that Board there is little hope of a satisfactory solution.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) \nJ. N. JORDAN\n\n### Inclosure 1 in No. 1.\nMy dear Sir John,\n\nMr. Bland to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nPeking, October 24, 1907.\n\nHerein I send you the Shanghae-Nanking Railway Traffic Manager's Report on the question of li-kin, wherein he describes a state of affairs that seriously prejudices the railway's chances of success, and which constitutes, as he points out, a breach of the Loan Agreement. The Chinese have frequently complained that the expenditure involved in the construction and equipment of this line as a first-class railway in accordance with the British standard prevents it from being a remunerative undertaking. There is some justification for this point of view (although in the Loan Agreement this system of construction was stipulated), and they have used their grievance in this matter as leverage to obtain the abolition of the Board of Commissioners and substitution therefor of a system of control similar to that which exists on the Northern Railways. The Corporation, recognizing that control by Board of Commissioners against the will of the Chinese could only prolong a state of friction prejudicial to the interests of the railway, has agreed, experimentally, to this change, provided that it involves no infringement of the rights of the bondholders, &c. But before it actually comes into effect, I think (and I hope you will concur) that the Chinese Government should give some satisfactory proof, by remedying these li-kin abuses, that their object in desiring the change is not simply to secure Chinese control of the line, but to improve its administration.

Itinerary.\n\nGeneral Description of Country,\n\nALTHOUGH the country around Ichang is of a very broken and mountainous character, there are on all sides many fertile valleys, which are the home of an industrious and not inconsiderable population engaged in agricultural pursuits. The journey I am about to describe lay through these valleys and across the intervening passes, the total distance covered being between 150 and 200 miles.\n\nCrossing the river (Yang-tsze), which even here, 1,000 miles from the sea, is about three-quarters of a mile wide, we immediately struck the main road to Shih-nan-fu, which is also the highway to Szechuan. For China this road---in reality only a path---is fairly good in dry weather, being in places paved with flagstones along the centre, but a fall of rain converts it into slimy mud which makes travelling very difficult. Over the passes it is entirely paved and in excellent condition; at one point there is a stretch of a thousand stone steps, and at another we climbed up a flagged road almost as steep as the roof of a house for well over an hour. For some four or five hours our route lay through a populous and well-cultivated valley, broad at first, but gradually narrowing as we progressed. The road was crowded with country people taking market produce into Ichang and with coolies carrying goods to more distant parts. The latter were frequently met during the journey, and were laden with all sorts of merchandise---foreign matches, foreign piece- and fancy-goods, raw cotton, and cotton cloth from Shasi, and various kinds of native medicines from adjoining districts. Some of these porters were going as far as Wanhsien, a journey of between 150 and 200 miles, a good illustration of the dangers of the water route, which runs...\n\n[2846 y-2]\n\nB\n\n149", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415988, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 153, "title": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "almost parallel only a few miles distant. The loads, which often weigh as much as 120 catties (say 160 lbs.), but usually 80 catties, are carried in baskets slung on the shoulders, and the journey is divided into long and short stages of about 30 and 20 miles respectively. The cost of porterage works out to about 7d. per cwt. per stage of 20 miles. The strain of carrying such heavy burdens over steep passes for mostly cultivated, whilst the higher parts were covered with extensive woods. The\n\ndays or even weeks in succession must be very severe, and it was apparent in the distressed look noticeable in the faces of many of the coolies. The roads are apparently too rough for pack animals, for we met none throughout the journey, but we occasionally saw a pony or two in the fields. For agricultural purposes cows and oxen seem to be almost exclusively used.\n\nThe scenery was very picturesque, the most conspicuous feature of the landscape being the beautiful tallow tree, which at this season (beginning of November) is at its best. I think I have never seen anything more beautiful in the way of colouring than the ruddy tints and white seeds of this tree, which is found scattered through all the valleys and on the lower slopes of the hills. The summer crops—rice, sesamum, cotton, and corn—had lately been gathered, and the fields were already beginning to look green with autumn-sown wheat and beans. In many places the banks and lower slopes were gay with a pretty yellow flower, which is supposed to be the parent of the chrysanthemum. Another interesting plant frequently seen was the black-berry, the stems of which are covered in the winter with a white wax, presumably for protection against the cold, as it disappears in the summer. The berries are not eaten.\n\nTowards dusk we arrived at our halting place for the night, having covered some 20 miles and reached an altitude of about 1,200 feet.\n\nFrom this point onwards the country became more rugged and the population more sparse and scattered. At first our road lay along the banks of the Ching River, whose clear and sparkling water formed a delightful contrast to the turbid waters of the Yang-tsze, into which it flows at Itu, a few miles below Ichang. In the summer rafts of cypress, which grows in abundance on the hill-sides, and is extensively used for building junks, are floated down it to that place. Here are also seen occasional groves of liquid amber, and plantations of small bamboo, used for making paper. For two days we ascended and descended passes of from 1,500 feet to over 3,000 feet. The hill-sides were extensively cultivated, even in places which seemed too steep to stand on. I was told that sometimes the men have to be suspended by ropes whilst working. There were certainly many cultivated spots steeper than the roof of any ordinary house. The crops seemed to be much the same as in the valleys, except that rice was replaced by Indian corn, and the sweet potato was more common. Thick woods of pine, oak, and beech abounded everywhere. On the fourth day we had a stiff climb up a bleak and barren range of hills, overgrown with long grass, and broken here and there by a field of Indian corn or a patch of vegetables. On the summit—about 5,000 feet—we found a quarry where tombstones were being cut. At the moment the men were engaged in polishing a stone, which they do by pouring lime and water on it, and then pushing over it backwards and forwards a heavy slab of granite. From here we made an abrupt descent to a small hamlet named Kuan Pao, lying in a sort of basin enclosed on all sides by hills. These basin-shaped depressions are very common, and, judging by the marshy condition of one we saw, would appear to be the sites of former lakes. The weather, which had hitherto been very warm, was now cold at night, and the ground was covered with white frost every morning. In the front room of the inn the thermometer fell to freezing point. The low temperature was probably in some measure due to the proximity of a range of mountains, close on 7,000 feet high, which forms a solid and unbroken barrier for many miles. We climbed up a precipitous path through woods of oak and beech, with an undergrowth of hazel and rhododendrons, to the top of this range, and found on the other side an undulating grassy plateau, for the most part uncultivated and uninhabited. Foxes were said to be abundant, and tigers, leopards, and wild pig are occasionally seen. A few miles distant there is said to be an iron mine, from which the needs of the inhabitants of the district are supplied. I was told about fifty men are employed in it, and that there are ten smelting furnaces, each employing about fifteen hands. We saw iron ore from this mine in two or three villages, but I have not the necessary knowledge to express any opinion as to its quality. In the neighbourhood there is also said to be a red earth which appears to be used for colouring purposes. I was unable to obtain any definite particulars about it, and had no time to visit the place of production. Shortly after leaving Kuan Pao we began the descent of a steep pass with precipitous and well-wooded hills on either side.\n\nFor some distance the vegetation was most luxuriant, and the colouring of the trees beautiful beyond description. I have seen nothing to beat it even in Japan. Our path then lay by a gradual ascent up a long slope, the lower portion of which was wild; rose bush seemed to grow everywhere, and masses of red berries made the slopes gorgeous with colour. The persimmon, with its golden fruit, was a conspicuous feature of the landscape, and in the neighbourhood of the cottages hedges of quince, which is used for medicinal purposes, were common. Although at about the same altitude as Kuan Pao, and only about 15 miles distant, we found the temperature here at night nearly 20 degrees higher. A further short climb, followed by a very precipitous descent for several miles, brought us back to the main road to Shih-nan-fu, which we had left on the morning of the fourth day. In this neighbourhood (between Lanping and P'u-tzu) a few white bark pine trees are found growing in a wild state. I am told this tree is known to grow wild in only one other place.\n\nVegetable Products.\n\nAs being the more convenient arrangement, I have reserved for separate treatment several products of the district traversed which seem to be of some interest from an economic point of view.\n\nTallow Tree. Method of making Tallow.\n\nThe tallow tree (locally called \"mu tzu shu\") I have already mentioned as abounding in the valleys. It seems to flourish best up to an altitude of about 1,500 feet, and is not found above about 2,000 feet. The seeds are coated with a white substance, and it is from this that the tallow is obtained by the following process: The seeds are steamed, then pounded whilst still warm, and sifted, the white coating passing through the sieve in the form of a coarse brown powder, which, after being ground, is again steamed, placed in straw bags, and pressed in a press. The resulting oil, called \"pi yu,\" is poured into tubs, where it quickly hardens and resumes its original white colour. It is then placed in wooden buckets, and when quite hard turned out in blocks and packed in straw ready for transport. In this form the tallow is mixed with rape or varnish oil or animal tallow before being actually made into candles, the two oils being used for fine candles for religious purposes (burning in temples, &c.), and animal tallow for candles of a coarse quality for domestic purposes.\n\nTallow Oil.\n\nAfter the white coating on the seed has been taken off, there remains the actual seed, from which another oil, “tzu yu,” is extracted, by a process somewhat similar to that above described. The outer shell and the heart, which is white, are separated by being ground between two mill-stones. The hearts, which remain intact, are then crushed under a large stone wheel pulled in an erect position by an ox or mule around a circular stone trough. They are then steamed, roasted, made into cakes in iron moulds, and pressed in a press similar to the cider press still used in country districts in England. The resulting oil, \"tzu yu,\" is used for illuminating purposes.\n\nSometimes the whole seeds, i.e., without removing the white exterior, are crushed and turned into oil, which is called \"mu yu.\" This is also used for making tallow for candles of a coarse quality such as are burned in lanterns. Candles of this quality are manufactured at Ichang.\n\nThere are thus two kinds of tallow and an oil obtained by varying the process of extraction. The refuse cakes are used as a fertilizer, and the husks as fuel.\n\nValue of Tallow Tree, &c.\n\nA good tallow tree bears about 20 lbs. of seeds, which yield 25 to 30 per cent. of (oil from the pure tallow (tallow from the exterior coating), 20 per cent. \"tzu yu\" hearts), or 60 per cent. \"mu yu\" (tallow from the whole seeds). The local price of tallow is, at the present time, about 3½d. per lb. for first quality, and a fraction over 2d. per lb. for second quality, and of the seeds from ¾d. to 1d. per lb. According to the Customs valuation the price is about 11s. 6d. per cwt. (nearly 3d. per lb.), but the different kinds are not distinguished.\n\n[2816 y-2]\n\n* This is also the term for tallow", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 416167, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 332, "title": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "327\n\nDOMESTIC.\n\n1\n\nJelena (2,977) ... mori mergeleT to sasviq878 ... we IqA batab\n\n(Pass)\n\n... of and lo voreotV e mori risteqeed A svider y baik)[ơng red Bart fartgried to fajosT\n\nafa #98uerqxe vons[Isox at now t Teqeqawon JB of boonsa aeruabem end je nottomiaitea dauorolít\n\nmolaasnqque wid Tol wat teem 'areyaqejet jn9o6T Aríð\n\n„JmomaIjj52 eft nt asavori mulqo to fco or Individual.\n\nbreign\n\n1908\n\n3 April\n\nast previous Paper.\n\nyou. 588\n\nHONG KONG\n\nNo.14279\n\n(Subject.)\n\n14279\n\nREC?\n\n*\n\nREG 24 APR 08\n\nPiracy on West River\n\nLends cops deep from Peking reporting acceptance by viceroy of conditions mean which Admiral was prepared to withdraw wcreaed\n\nPort Auth' at Mecas be moved to amist patrol, suggesting\n\nотделе imprevention of smugling.\n\n(Minutes.)\n\nat by.\n\nMirtisses\n\nWe have seen other correspondence in the Thea Prints which have\n\nJone\n\nHongkong\n\nsuppose that matters will be bitter now until the Chinese authorities\n\nagain get stack them the same questions will\n\n?

It is therefore most essential to regard the stage of development of the people in order to judge whether the inauguration will come early or late. The Sovereign and the Ministers of State, the governing and the governed, all should diligently investigate the question and study it point by point, so that when constitutional government is established it may be for the general happiness and advantage of all. But wherever the Sovereign of any country has granted a Constitution, the chief power in most cases remains vested in the Throne, while the system of administration rests generally upon public opinion; but the practical working of the administration and the control of public opinion still remain under the sovereignty of the Throne, and meetings of the people, associations, and all expressions of thought, whether verbal or in writing, are subject to fixed legal limitations. No country has ever founded its Constitution by breaking all the restraints of duty and offending against the first principles of right; and, moreover, China hitherto has set a high value upon ceremonious conduct and courtesy, and has set up a high standard of social duty. In now choosing from what is best in the legal systems of other countries, our own social and religious obligations must be preserved.\n\nThe desire of the Throne to prepare for a Constitution is profound, but in the last years the gentry, merchants, scholars, and people of various provinces (though there have been, of course, plenty of dutiful and law-abiding exceptions) have shown a strong tendency towards frivolous and ill-considered criticisms and with a total ignorance of the subject to cry for constitutional rights over no matter what political question, domestic or foreign. By leading one another on to interfere, a hundred soon re-echo the words of and the mischief is reverberated from one mind to another, misrepresentation follows upon misrepresentation, and, as the days pass, more profound is the danger that this swarming mass of misstatement, by which white is turned to black, may burst forth into disorder. With the people usurping what the authorities let slip from their grasp, and with a reckless defiance of the social order, the foundation of constitutional government cannot but be impeded, and, with the general prospect of peaceful administration revolutionized by a spirit of disorder, the hope of a Constitution becomes even more remote, and the opportunity for consolidating the country passes still farther out of sight.\n\nNow, popular feeling cannot, of course, be ignored, but the people must on no account give vent to their feelings by angry clamour. In a constitutional State the authorities and the people must loyally adhere to their respective functions and preserve a peaceful and harmonious attitude. The object of a Parliament is to choose what is good from the sentiments of the people, but those who elect parliamentary representatives as well as those who are elected as representatives have, severally, fixed rôles to play, and fixed rules are provided both for the assembling of deliberative associations and for their dismissal. The subjects which may be discussed are also confined within distinct limits and restricted by carefully drawn regulations. The various powers and functions being thus clearly defined, it is by no means the case that any individual is at liberty to discuss affairs, nor is it the case that every subject can be deliberated upon.\n\nAt present commands have been issued for the establishment in Peking of the \"Tzu Cheng Yuan\" (Senate), and in the provinces of the \"Tzu Yi Chu\" (Consultative Bureaux). These are intended to form the foundation of parliamentary institutions. In future the interests of the various provinces should be carefully investigated and discussed by the Consultative Bureaux, and if they arrive at any definite resolution they can request the high authorities of their province to communicate with the Senate and submit the matter for the consideration and action of that body. They must not, however, usurp powers which they do not possess and overstep their functions, thereby introducing confusion into governmental affairs. Still less may they provoke agitation by captious criticism and so disturb the peaceful administration of the country.\n\nThe Board of Laws and the Board of the Interior have already been commanded to frame satisfactory press laws without delay, and it is now commanded that the Office for the Investigation of Constitutional Reform shall co-operate with the Board of the Interior in drawing up rules in respect to the limitations to be observed by all Associations which concern themselves with political affairs, and to submit such rules, which shall be derived from Chinese and foreign legislation on this subject, for approval to the Throne at the earliest possible date. Should there be busybodies who meet together and instigate men's minds towards the outbreak of disorder, the law of the land is here, ready to deal with them, and they shall on no account be spared, but must be prevented and punished with the utmost rigour.\n\nAll Government Offices and Departments in Peking and the provinces are further commanded to see that their subordinates scrupulously observe and give effect to the provisions of this Decree. If they venture to neglect it, or fail to exact obedience there, and trouble develops in consequence, the Office or Department concerned will not be able to repudiate its direct responsibility.\n\n(Translation.)\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nExtract from the \"Peking Gazette\" of December 25, 1907.\n\nDECREE ISSUED IN THE NAME OF THE EMPRESS DOWAGER.\n\nTHE State, for the encouragement of virtue and talent, has made selections from the administrative acts of former dynasties and from the established practices of foreign nations, and has inaugurated a series of graded schools.\n\nImperial orders have been issued to the high educational authorities to prepare careful Regulations and submit them for the Imperial sanction and subsequent promulgation by Edict.\n\nPerseverance in the proper path has been encouraged, and much forethought has likewise been expended in the imposing of restrictive measures, as, for example, the prohibition to interfere in political matters, to stray into irrelevant issues, to form Associations, and to address public meetings; all of which have been strictly prohibited by proclamation.\n\nIt was our hope that the educated classes would keep themselves under proper discipline and devote themselves to the training of their minds. The State had thus formed the greatest expectations from these people. Of late years, however, there have been signs that the scholars have been going greatly astray in their conduct. It constantly occurs that they fail to concentrate their attention on their studies and to confine their efforts to becoming good Confucianists. They frequently step beyond their proper sphere, and interfere in external affairs. They heap contumely upon their officials and professors, and rebel against properly constituted authority. They infringe the precepts of Confucius, and make unauthorized changes in their curriculum and traditional costume. They dragoon their village communities, and, worse still, refuse to acknowledge the high provincial officials. They endeavour to force the Government to accede to their wishes in important affairs of State. They habitually send anonymous telegrams to the Council of State in the name of the whole school. Without weighing the merits of a case, they utter scurrilous criticisms, and by the force of their example lead the ignorant masses to adopt their views. Persons of bad character and malcontents seize such opportunities to incite disorder, to the great detriment of right principles and the disturbance of the popular mind.\n\nSuch practices as these have been unheard of in former times, and even heretofore in our own dynasty, while abroad evils of such a nature are unknown in schools.\n\nScholars form the highest of the four classes of the population. Whatever the attitude of the scholars, that also will be the attitude of the people. The people are bound to follow any evil practices the scholar section may inaugurate, and the effect of this on the whole question of government in the future will be hard to calculate. The only way to wean the scholars from their evil courses is to impose severer legislative measures.\n\nLet, therefore, the Board of Education issue instructions to all offices concerned with educational affairs to publish restrictive Regulations and cause them to be very stringently enforced. Any omissions in existing rules dealing with the examination and supervision of scholars are to be filled in and such rules put strictly into force under due penalties.\n\nThe guidance of scholars is a duty shared by the Governor of Peking, the provincial Viceroys and Governors, and the Educational Commissioners. These officials are, however, in the habit of permitting the scholars to overstep their bounds and win applause by being faithless to their principles. In order to gain the good opinion of the scholars leniency is shown towards them, and talented men are ruined in the making.\n\nRecently there have been many examples of schools both in the capital and in the provinces having assembled, created disturbances, and dispatched nonsensical telegrams.\n\nPage 371", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 416212, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 377, "title": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "3725.\n\n6\n\nThere remain, however, some provinces whose schools have not left their proper sphere and acted with impropriety. It is therefore apparent that the results of the system of teaching bear a proportionate relation to the goodness or badness of the teacher. Of this there is sufficient proof.\n\nFor the future, the Governor of Peking, the Viceroys and Governors of provinces, and the Commissioners of Education are carefully to select capable men for principals or teachers of schools, and to instruct them to conduct their schools in a satisfactory manner. In short, the Confucian religion is to be honoured, the polite arts to be encouraged, everything to be kept within the bounds of right and law, and patriotism to be made a force useful to the State. One who then ventures to leave the true path will prove himself a person who quarrels with those in authority and disturbs the peace and order of the State. For though a man's attainments in the polite arts be poor, he can supplement them and persevere in them. Though his knowledge be restricted, he can enlarge it by observation. But if the foundation is wrongly laid, then all is lost. Unorthodox teaching must therefore be got rid of, to prevent the masses from being corrupted. Offences against the laws must be treated with increased severity, in order to nip them in the bud.\n\nIt is further commanded that the Board of Education from time to time appoint inspectors to keep a conscientious watch in all places. If anywhere the study and explanation of the classics has been abandoned, or if the practice of the national literature is neglected, and the teachers regard it with indifference, or if in cases of bad conduct or meddling with outside matters those in charge do not inflict punishment or dismissal, not only are the students to be immediately expelled and punished, but the teachers and persons in charge are also to be awarded severe penalties, which will on no account be remitted. If the Governor of Peking, the Viceroys and Governors of provinces, and the Commissioners of Education continue to be neglectful, and regard educational affairs as a matter of no urgency, and thus through want of firmness and fear of unpleasantness convert what is intended to foster learning into a channel of disorder, not only will investigation be made into the schools concerned and punishments assigned to the teachers, but the Governor of Peking, the Viceroys and Governors, the Commissioners of Education, together with Military Governors or Lieutenant-Governors who may be in charge of education, will be liable themselves to incur heavy censure for such serious dereliction of duty. Let them all, therefore, reverently obey this Decree, in order that in all schools respectability and zeal for learning may prevail, and conduct become habitually excellent, while men of genius and learning will multiply, and thus will be fulfilled the earnest wish of the Throne for the cultivation of scholarship and the tranquillity of the people. It is commanded that all offices having authority over schools, and all universities and schools, hang up a copy of this Decree in their halls, and that it be printed upon all diplomas of graduated students as evidence of the rules which they must follow.\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government. 114855]\n\nCHINA RAILWAYS.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[4698]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[February 10.]\n\nSECTION 1.\n\n26 APR\n\nSir J.

Sir,\n\nI HAVE the honour to forward herewith the copy of my despatch No. 36 of to-day's date, addressed to His Majesty's Minister at Peking, on the subject of the steps being taken by the Governor-General of Yünnan to check the production and consumption of opium.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) E. C. WILTON,\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\n(No. 56.) Sir,\n\nActing Consul-General Wilton to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nYünnan-fu, September 1, 1908. REFERRING to my despatch No. 34 of the 17th August, I have the honour to report that the Governor-General sent a telegraphic Circular to the provincial authorities on or about the 23rd August, ordering them to prevent the passage of opium through any customs or li-kin barriers within their jurisdiction on and after the 21st September next.\n\nIn my despatch No. 34 I inclosed the copy of a Proclamation, issued by the Governor-General on the 21st July last, forbidding the production and consumption of opium after the end of the current Chinese year, the 21st January, 1909 (Inclosure 2). The effect of this Proclamation, coupled with the present orders, if faithfully carried out, will be that opium will cease to have a marketable value in this province, and that illicit trade in this article will entail very heavy penalties after the 21st January, 1909. One result will be a serious loss of revenue to Yunnan of 1,500,000 taels annually. The return of opium for this year is estimated at 21,000 cwt., as against 47,000 cwt. in 1906.\n\nThis amount, however, does not include opium consumed by the local farmers in the opium-producing districts, or the quantities smuggled from one place to another within the province, or the opium employed in contraband traffic on the frontiers—an average annual total of about 13,000 cwt. The loss of this revenue will be seriously felt in so poor a province as Yunnan, which even now receives an annual contribution of 480,000 taels from Szechuan.\n\nThe Governor-General, a man of somewhat impatient temperament, appears to be determined to eradicate opium from the province with but little delay, and has been endeavouring to take practical steps to further his object.\n\nOn the 28th July, Liu chün, ex-Prefect of Yunnan-fu and Acting Taotai designate at Tengyueh, left for his new post with orders to report fully on the state of affairs in regard to opium at Ch'u hsiung, the eastern limit of the Western Circuit. He was also directed to visit Meng hua ting en route, and to stay some days at Yung chang, in order to investigate the measures taken to check the consumption and cultivation of opium.\n\nThe deputy sent secretly to examine into the opium question in outlying districts returned a few days ago. His report was so confused and misleading that the Governor-General threatened to have him executed.\n\nChinese public opinion condemns, albeit in a whisper, Hsi Liang's action as hasty, rash, and ill-advised. I am informed that the people in Western Yunnan, where more than one-half of the whole opium crop is produced, have been roused into declaring that they will oppose with force any attempt to prevent the cultivation of the poppy.\n\nThe path the Governor-General has set himself to tread is very difficult and dangerous. Moreover, the district officials appear to be so indifferent and faint-hearted that I venture to think the task is beyond his powers.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) E. C.

Your Excellency,\n\nPeking, November 16, 1908.\n\nI HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency that on the 15th November the following testamentary announcement of Her Majesty the Empress-Dowager Tz‘u-hsi, &c., was reverently received \n\n\"Of little worth, I was the respectful recipient of the Emperor Hsien-fèng's commands appointing me to a position in the Palace. Later, the Emperor T'ung-chih succeeded to the Throne in his infancy, at a time when rebellion was rife and there was a crisis of disorder, the Taiping and Nienfei rebels, Mahommeians and Miao tribes, devastating the land, while the sea coast was harried. The people were destitute and suffering, the eye everywhere. In accordance with the Emperor Hsien-fêng's dying mandate, I and the Empress-Dowager Hsiao Chên Hsien [the first Consort Empress of Hsien-fêng Translator] with united hearts soothed and consulted, night and day cared and laboured, urging on the servants of State and great war leaders throughout the Empire to measures of good government, and listening to the remonstrances of the wise to retrieve disaster and assuage the afflictions of the people. Eventually, with the favour of Heaven, the great dangers were removed, and peril became safety. Then the Emperor Tung-chih passed away, and when the Emperor lately deceased ascended the Throne difficulties increased with the greater burdens of the people. Internal troubles and external calamities crowded upon us, and I had no course left but to resume the helm of State. The year before last a Proclamation announcing the preparation for a Constitution was published, and this year the limit of time for the completion of this preparation was made known to all. My energies were wholly spent in devotion to the myriads of affairs, but I was fortunately possessed of a constitution sufficiently strong to sustain the toil. From the summer and autumn of this year, however, State events of great importance were constantly occurring, which left me no rest, and sleep and nourishment failed me. Though, as the days wore on, my forces were gradually weakening, I dared not withdraw myself one day from the burden. Suddenly plunged into the sorrow of the death of the Emperor on the 14th of this month, I felt unable to sustain the blow, and my illness was aggravated beyond hope of recovery. Looking back on the anxieties and misfortunes of the last fifty years, I recall that there was no time when I was free from alarm. Now there is some prospect of reform in the State, and the infancy of the Emperor in succession affords full scope for advance in the right path.

He then asked me at what\n\ntime I would be for duty, and I told him 10 o'clock, No. 4\n\nSection, No. 12 and 13 beats, the same as he had seen me on\n\nthe previous night. Then he left, going down by the tram\n\nstation. When I came off duty at 10 o'clock, I reported the\n\nmatter to the Deputy Superintendent. He referred me to the\n\nC. D. I. I saw the latter at about 12.15 p.m., and he arranged\n\nwith me what to do. I saw the C.D.I. when going on duty at 10\n\np.m. and carried out his instructions. I went on No. 4 Section,\n\nNo. 12 and 13 beats. I was in Hollywood Road, working my beats\n\nby the left, and met Jemadar Gulab near Peel Street, as I was\n\ngoing towards Graham Street. He stopped and so did I. He did\n\nnot ask me allright about my beats, but at once said: What\n\nabout it now. I put him off by saying that it was too soon,\n\nbetter make it 12 o'clock. He said: Best go to Ezra Lane. I\n\nsaid it is too well lighted, and plenty of people go in and\n\nout there. He then said: Where then ? I said: Come to me at\n\n11.45, and I will arrange a place. He then went away westward,\n\nand I went eastward on my beat. At about 11.30 p.m. I met\n\nP.S. Terrett and P.S. Murison in Lyndhurst Terrace near Tun Wo\n\nLane,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-356 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 419161, "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": "CO129-356 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [4-6]", "page_number": 270, "title": "CO129-356 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [4-6]", "content_text": "Y 10% \n\nentate dalvo rehamel\n\n.0.0 d‡łw oral edt mt aav I darid Jirths I\n\nRef\n\nt\n\none[Isox aik Jand geď I dzaya? tusenysä yď baďtroneh as (888o aint nt vanselo air salonexe or sit o98 YAM KONTAvon ads ni,dit excède oil na noluneq dove no anhten of em woll bna {n}‡178 oft að aðivide Intddist masy, IS vri to moždarabianoo\n\nto nolanaq a no #rizer bluron I (amid Junkerq and di\n\nLet s not auth ed hirow I salt arsey S ni bus inom a 08 .■я (añošanoн suid ni ensay (I barnea ovad 1 .36 .ed to notaneg orfa sved I «Proyur vna duoridiw #rsey EI need evart bus,soflo¶ .VITIA Brið nå ansoy A beviea\n\nAtkarl\n\n30.\n\n126\n\nGovernor DRAFT.\n\nLugard\n\n„dalluð kabaret (.ba)\n\nSix;\n\nCo\n\n21387/25\n\nD.\n\n259\n\nDowning Street,\n\nJul og\n\n9 q s\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No: 136\n\nOf the 21st May, forwarding a memorial from Gulab with regard to his dismissal from the Hong Kong Police Force.\n\nI approve the action taken in this case.\n\nMINUTE.\n\nMr. Milübh\n\nMr. Just.\n\nMr. Antrobus.\n\nMr. Cox\n\nSir C.

I believe that since then the Self Government Society has approached the Portuguese Consul General direct asking him to withdraw certain statements he made against the Self Government Society in his despatch or despatches to the Viceroy.

T. Liang, wrote to me on the 16th instant pressing me for a reply with regard to this business, and adding that, if we were not prepared to take it up, they would have to consider other arrangements. I passed this on to you through head office, asking for a further expression of your views in the light of my more recent advices. Your reply merely confirmed your previous opinion, and you asked whether I had communicated the same to the Chinese Government, and what were their own views on the subject of provincial loans. Whatever may have been the views of the Chinese Government with regard to provincial loans, it has been difficult for me to consult them in the present instance without appearing to go over Mr. Liang's head, and thereby risking my relations with him. On receipt of your telegram, however, I called privately on Liang Tun-yen, Vice-President of the Wai-wu Pu, and explained to him the difficult position in which we were placed by Mr. M. T. Liang's pressure on the one hand, and our concern for the credit of the Chinese Government on the other. He quite grasped the point, and promised to speak to Yuan Shih-k'ai. The reply of the latter was that the Government was already alive to the necessity of putting a stop to promiscuous borrowing, and of controlling all such operations through one official channel; they were especially dissatisfied with the recent conduct of the Yu-chuan Pu in hawking about a loan for 100 lacs of dollars, which no one would look at. A Memorial had therefore been prepared by the Board of Finance, and was to be presented to the Throne in a few days, urging that all future loans, whether for account of the Peking Boards and Departments of State, or of the provinces, should be negotiated and concluded with the Board of Finance alone. It is an admirable Regulation if they will stick to it; at any rate, it furnished me with the material for a reply to Mr. M. T. Liang, and I inclose copy of my letter to him herewith.\n\nApart from this, however, there are growing indications that the Government is being forced irresistibly towards the path of financial reform. The Prince Regent, Yuan Shih-kai, and the best men in the Government realize that this must come, and, what is still more hopeful, that effective and real reform cannot be carried out without the assistance of expert foreign advisers. Liang Tun-yen spoke to me on the subject with great frankness and common sense, and what he says may fairly be taken as representing the growing opinion in higher official circles.\n\nRailway Negotiations.-Mr. Bland reopened the Hankow-Canton Railway negotiations with the Grand Secretary, Chang Chih-tung, this week by a four hours' sitting. They do not appear to have got beyond generalities, and, of course, a good deal of nonsense was talked by his Excellency Chang. The subject of negotiation was the Hupei-Hunan section of about 400 miles. Chang wants `£3,000,000`; he wants it on the same or better conditions than the recent loan to the Yu-chuan Pu, and he wants to deal with the British alone. At the same time, which is not very consistent, he threatens competition from the Belgians, Japanese, and Germans. All these nations have in fact colourable claims to an interest in the undertaking, and we may look forward to long and complicated negotiations before the business is completed. A hopeful sign, on the other hand, is the fact that Chang is prepared to consider the principle of construction by contract; if he can be persuaded to adopt this system and place the construction of the line in the hands of a reputable firm of British railway contractors, the agreement will be immensely simplified. Within the last few days an Edict has appeared giving Chang Chih-tung supreme control of the financing and construction of the Hankow-Szechuan as well as of the Hankow-Canton line, so we...\n\n[2104 -3]\n\n*Not printed.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422000, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 29, "title": "CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "# AFFAIRS OF CHINA\n## CONFIDENTIAL\n(2150)\nC.O. 12195\n### [January 17.]\n#### SECTION 1.\n\nREG 4PR OC No. 1.\n\n**Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.—(Received January 17.)**\n(No. 27.) (Telegraphic.) P. MACAO, Peking, January 17, 1909.\n\nI have communicated to the Chinese Government the Portuguese proposal, of which you informed me in your telegram No. 13 of the 14th instant. The Viceroy at Canton is being informed, and I am told that every effort will be made on the Chinese side to remove all obstacles in the path of the proposed Commission by the withdrawal of the military posts.\n\nThe Chinese Government, however, are anxious that His Majesty's Government should understand that the Viceroy is faced by strong popular excitement at Canton consequent on the aggressive action of the Macao authorities, and they would be grateful if you would use your influence with the Government at Lisbon with a view to checking the activity of the local Portuguese authorities in that direction pending the appointment of the Commission. According to the Viceroy's telegrams which arrive in Peking daily, the Macao authorities continue to levy taxes and to compel the Chinese living in the disputed zone to sign documents whose purport is unknown to them. They are stated to be contemplating dredging operations within the disputed waters, in anticipation of which a Portuguese man-of-war is reported to be at present engaged on a survey. The Viceroy is especially perturbed at the news sent him by the Chinese Representative at Lisbon to the effect that two cruisers have received orders to sail for Macao waters, one of them being indeed reported to be on its way.\n\nThe Chinese Minister in London has been instructed to interview you on the matter, and has been fully informed by telegraph of his Government's views.\n\n**(Confidential.)**\n\nThe conduct of these negotiations here is rendered difficult by the fact that we have no direct channel of communication with Macao, without which it is impossible to accept responsibility. The Portuguese Chargé d'Affaires is not a diplomatic officer in the proper sense of the word, confining himself to transmitting his Government's notes to the Wai-wu Pu and vice versa, nor is he in close touch with the Chinese officials.\n\nFor these reasons the dispatch to Macao of a Consular officer from Canton would, I suggest, be of great assistance to me, were the Portuguese Government to agree to such a step, for, with the co-operation of the Government of Hong Kong, he would be able to ascertain the facts on the spot and forward them direct to this Legation.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422718, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 121, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "8 \n\nSome of the Company had formed the impression that certain individuals were behind the Company, but I was assured that such was not the case. I venture to think that the difficulties the Chinese have in these matters are due to the knowledge that the money behind the Company is provided by the Russo-Chinese Bank, who have also probably bought off the Bogdo's opposition, and that it is this knowledge which is the real cause of the Amban's opposition.\n\nThe educational wave which is spreading over China has reached Kalgan, and at one time the services of a Japanese were engaged as foreign professor; they were not, however, satisfactory and were dispensed with. The Chinese then applied to the Protestant ministers for lectures, but these could not see their way to acceding to the request.\n\nLess snow falls in winter than in Peking; this season lasts, however, considerably longer than in the capital.\n\nThe main street of the Shangpu (upper citadel) is a torrent bed which is dry for the greater part of the year. It is dotted with Chinese booths selling goods of every kind. In summer, the street is liable to inundations, and many lives are lost annually, despite which the foolish Chinese continue to make use of the street for their shops. These inundations, which occur sometimes in the finest and driest season, take the form of a wave as much as 10 feet high, which dashes down without any warning, sweeping away everything in its path. This inundation is due to the nature of the country between Kalgan and the Mongolian plateau; Mr. Campbell has described the nature of this so accurately that I beg to quote an extract from his Report:\n\n\"To the Kalgan gap, the waters draining from some 2,000 square miles of the Mongol escarpment converge, and the quantities of eroded rocks and boulders cumbering the depths of the valley, and the bed of the Tung chiaoho suggest torrents of magnitude. Two ravines descend the heights and join at the gap; the smaller ravines and depressions run into these two, and they in turn have their branches and so on until the watershed is reached in minute folds and cuttings. The deciding rim averages 4,800 feet above the sea and Kalgan is 2,700 feet, but the distance from the rim in places is scarcely over 12 miles, and whenever a monsoon thunderstorm bursts over the ramification of ravines, the floods descend too rapidly for the capacity of the exit, and the waters are backed up at the gap.\"\n\nApril 11 - Although the journey to Kweihuacheng from Kalgan only takes from six to seven days by the route outside the Great Wall as compared with eight by that to the south of the wall, I decided to travel by the latter, thereby being enabled to visit the large cities of North Shansi.\n\nWe left Kalgan by the great high road of North Shansi, and kept in a south-westerly direction down to the valley of the Yangho and up on to rising ground on the other side. The country is dry, bleak, and dusty. We passed plenty of traffic all day long, carts, mules, and donkeys all bringing goods to the great distributing centre of Kalgan. Many Mongols overtook us during the day, riding rapidly to the Wutaishan. Soon after noon, we halted at Hochiatun, having had to climb for an hour through loess country and low foot hills to the mountains. Continuing up the well-watered valley of a tributary of the Yangho, the mountains on either hand are bleak and bare, and cultivation and trees are confined to the plain. In many places on the stream, there were stretches of ice a foot or so in thickness. From time to time along the valley, numerous well-kept temples, nestling on seemingly inaccessible crags, testified to the piety or fear of past and present generations of credulous country folk. We slept the night at Chin Hwainan.\n\nApril 12 - An interesting feature of this village is a large and very ancient willow tree in the main street, which stretches one arm across the road; this tree is covered with red paper decorations and inscriptions, and at its foot, an ignorant peasantry have erected an altar, at which joss sticks are burnt daily before carts start on a journey, and in front of which the peasants kowtow. It is an interesting relic of tree worship, of which I have already seen one other example on the southern descent from the Wutaishan.\n\nA good road through loess defiles and across open country brought us to Hwaian, a small district town surrounded by a high wall. The town looks busy, thriving, and well-to-do, but is considerably smaller inside than its length of wall would lead one to expect from the outside. Like so many walled cities in China, the founders made provision for an expansion which time has not justified. We arrived at Hwaian in time for a large funeral, which was accompanied by the usual scattering of paper cash, models of the deceased's house, pony, chair, and by the wailing hired mourners, and banging of cymbals and letting off of fire crackers. The coffin was followed by a cart full of women of the house howling noisily; all of which, as the tree worship this morning, caused my boy, a 4 years' convert to Christianity, to express his wrath. Personally, I agreed with Emerson that I was glad the pagan idols died hard. On leaving Hwaian, we overtook a line of over 200 carts, each drawn by one mule, carrying tea from Kalgan to Kweihuacheng; this and the fact that we passed to-day many mules and camels laden with wool and tobacco show that there is a steady flow of traffic along this difficult road, and points to the real need of a railway. The road was good to-day for the most part, but muddy and spongy in places; this resulted in our coming badly to grief in one place, the cart getting stuck in the mud at a very dangerous angle and the front mule aggravating the difficulty by pulling too sharply and breaking a shaft rope. This was serious, as the process of refitting the rope necessitated the carter crawling underneath the cart like a chauffeur to a motor car, and the cart was in thick greasy mud; it was unpleasant for the carter. A great deal of the road was in the loess country, and some of the ravines were very beautiful, though, as the road was usually too narrow to permit of two carts passing, disagreeable incidents occurred. From Hwaian, we ascended the Tsebi örr ling Pass, and then descended through loess to the quite small walled district town of Tientschönn on the Nan Yaugho valley. A Swedish missionary affiliated to the China Inland Mission is stationed here. The valley is well-watered, fertile, and well-cultivated with a certain amount of timber. A lieutenant and thirty soldiers are stationed here from head-quarters at Tatungfu. Late in the evening, the officer called, asked to see my passport, and insisted on providing an escort for the morrow. At Tientschön, carters have to change the width of their wheels for continuing the journey into Shansi; the roads in this latter province differing from the width of those in Chibli, or rather the width of the ruts being different, and no self-respecting Chinese cart can travel except in the recognized ruts. The width of the cart roads in Chihli and Shansi Provinces is 3 ft. 6 in. and 4 ft. 7 in. respectively, while it is interesting to note that the width of the road in Shensi differs yet again, and is 4 ft. 2 in.; the method of changing the width is to remove the wooden pole connecting the wheels and replace it by another of the standard width; the Chihli pole is kept at the inn until the return journey; no expense is involved in exchanging the poles beyond a small sum for the labour of removing and refitting the wheels.\n\nApril 13 - Three soldiers arrived early to act as escort, but contented themselves with seeing us out of the town. We drifted over the plain to the west, the road being good except where the river or any small tributaries had to be crossed, when the ground was almost impassable, and great détours had to be made to avoid morasses; the carts were, however, once so badly bogged that nothing but spades and poles as levers could extricate them. After passing Errshib li po, we kept along the right bank of the Nanyangho ascending steadily, but almost imperceptibly, to Yangkau another small district town with good walls. The Great Wall of China could here be seen a couple of miles away to our right, not as usual on the top of the mountains, but more than half-way down the ridge. As far as could be seen, the wall here is in excellent condition. There is a Roman Catholic mission-station at Yangkan, but it has a native and no European superintendent. Steadily rising to cross the ridge which serves to part the upper waters of the Nanyangho and the Sangkanho, we pushed on in a south-western direction to Wangkwantun through a well-timbered country.\n\nApril 14 - Ascending gradually to slightly beyond Tsulo, we descended by a good, easy road into the Tatungfu basin and the Sangkanho system, and crossing the Yubo by a bridge half a-mile from Tatungfu, reached a good inn outside the east gate before sunset. During the last 2 miles, many Mongols passed us singly and in groups to the south to bow the knee to their spiritual head, the Dalai Lama, now in residence there. Some were in charge of caravans laden with presents for his Holiness. The Mongols are a great feature of Tatungfu, to the inhabitants of which they are by no means strangers, as they come in hordes every year en route to their Mecca. In spite of their somewhat wretched appearance, they are well-to-do, and as they spend their money freely, chiefly in buying the brass for which Tatungfu is famous, and which costs half what it does in Peking, they are welcome to the inhabitants. Special inns are set aside for them outside the south gate of the town.\n\nTatungfu.\n\nTatungfu is a prefectural town with strong walls in good repair. It is 217 miles from Peking and 240 from Taiyuanfu, the capital of the province. The town is situated between the Yuho and a range of hills. A broad plain stretches to the south.\n\nPage 9 \n[2155 6-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422731, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 134, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## 34\n\nSinganfu to Hankow, and reach Shanghae in a month. An Englishman residing at Singanfu is at present in charge of the district. Unfortunately, there is too little business at Ninghsiafu to make the post-office pay its own way, and this argument is used as a reason against the opening of new offices.\n\nFew foreigners visit the town; among these few an occasional Russian merchant from Alashan may be seen. He finds a sale for cottons (coloured and plain), hardware, and cutlery. Except for some English cottons, the only goods not of Chinese manufacture which I noticed were Japanese—cheap looking-glasses, combs, coloured photos of singing girls, photo frames, matches, and towels. All supplies in the town are dear, and the inns even charge for the use of water for cooking and washing purposes.\n\nUnlike the country outside the walls, the city has never recovered from the Mahommedan rebellions, and much of the area inside the walls is either unbuilt on or covered with ruins. There are a few fine trees, and some of the streets have narrow streams of water flowing through them. The poverty of the town is probably entirely due to the universal opium smoking. The population is said to be under 5,000.\n\nThe chief trades are carpet and felt-making, for which Ninghsia has been famous for centuries. Wood shops are very numerous, and coffins, kang tables, and pails are turned out in great quantities. There is also a large straw hat industry. The oil used for lighting purposes is of local manufacture and growth (bean oil). The local tobacco is not good for cigarettes, and is only used for pipes, millions of cigarettes being imported from the coast to meet the growing demand for them. I was told that the Russian Agent from the Alashan shop sold 1,000 taels' (150l.) worth of goods this year in Ninghsia. The Chinese expressed a strong dislike of him. Coal is used for firing but is not plentiful. It is mined in the Alashan range, and is expensive, costing 5 cents a catty, as against 1 cent. in Tatungfu. The native banks in Ninghsia are good and reliable.\n\nThe Taotai is a kindly man and very courteous to foreigners. He has, however, little strength of character, and stands in considerable awe of the large Mahommedan population. Ninghsia is also the residence of a Chentai, or General, who is said to have 800 soldiers of the old \"brave\" standard under him. The large number of these probably exist only on paper.\n\nMay 25.—Arriving in Ninghsia in almost a penniless condition, I was obliged to take the humiliating step of appealing to the Taotai for assistance, which was readily given. I explained the full circumstances and the rascality of the camelman. The Taotai begged that I would not mention what he had done for me, as he did not wish to be obliged to do the same for every traveller, but I said I should not fail to bring his courteous action to the notice of His Majesty's Minister. A small official subsequently accompanied me on my return to Kweihuacheng, and the loan (97l.), 60 taels, was repaid there; as the state of the country is too unsettled to allow an official to travel with so large a sum with safety to himself, this officer, on the Taotai's instructions, bought carpets and other goods at Kweihuacheng to the amount of the loan.\n\n## Ninghsia to Alashan\n\nHearing in Ninghsiafu that a number of Russians had recently arrived in Alashan I considered it advisable to pay a rapid visit to the capital of the Prince of the country.\n\nThe Chinese official at Ninghsia insisted on sending a small escort—a captain and three soldiers—with me.\n\nAs there were said to be inns along the road the tents and most of the baggage were left behind at Ninghsia.\n\nLeaving the town by the west gate we maintained a westerly course across the plain toward the Alashian range. The number of farms is even greater, if possible, this side of the city than between the river and the town and one and all are surrounded by fine trees and richly cultivated fields. Not only were no ruins visible but many new farm-houses were being built besides several temples. The road is deflected by the many small irrigation canals which are eventually crossed by wooden bridges in a fairly good state of repair. After travelling some 6 miles we reached Hsincheng, the annex to Ninghsiafu, which corresponded to Hsincheng, the annex to Kweihuacheng. This town, which is walled and has four gates, is reserved for Manchu residence. Five hundred soldiers are said to be quartered here and to be of the new type. The Manchu governor lives in the centre of the town; the population is small and the area inside the walls is by no means all built on. Entering by the east gate we left again by the north gate and continued in a north-westerly direction, passing half a-mile later a delightful garden where the high official has a summer retreat. Shortly afterwards the belt of trees abruptly comes to an end and the road runs straight across an uncultivated, uninhabited country with no trees or scrub growing anywhere.\n\nThe day had been burning hot with no mitigating breeze and it was a pleasure to stroll over the iris-strewn ground and enjoy the evening air heavy with the scent of fragrant trees and flowers which was wafted right across the plain from the belt of cultivation. It was a pleasure which Chinese etiquette did not allow me to enjoy long, for so long as I walked the escort had to do the same, and a petition was soon sent me to ride again.\n\nPassing the ruins of an old Chinese town, the capital of a former kingdom, the lines of the mud walls of which can still be traced with some difficulty, we reached—18 miles from Ninghsiafu—the small village of Changpeipo, with a moderate inn. The inhabitants were all enjoying their evening opium after the long day's work and were mostly stupefied with it, the inn resembling indeed an opium den.\n\nChangpeipo is a small, mud-walled village resembling a fort, and the ruins of another hard by show that there have always been people here, probably to protect the entrance to the pass over the Alashan range. A sergeant and four men form a garrison.\n\n## 35\n\nMay 27.—The sergeant conceived it his duty to send an extra man to show the road into the mountains.\n\nLeaving in a west-north-westerly direction we kept over bleak, barren ground, level at first but then gradually sloping up to the magnificent range. The road is good for carts until it approaches the mountains, when it becomes excessively stony, especially where two dry torrent beds are crossed. There are no trees or habitations on the plain, but occasional temples may be sighted nestling among a few trees at the very foot of the mountains. Three hours' marching brought us to the small, miserable hamlet of Shíkon, situated among trees in the entrance to the pass. Here a small brook issues from the mountains and, though only one and a-half feet wide, has abundance of water in it.\n\nThe Captain who is in charge of the escort gets as pay 6 taels (19s. 6d.) a-month; of this sum practically nothing is squeezed. He has to provide everything himself, including clothes, uniform, and boots, and gets no rations. A Captain at a place like Huamachi, which we passed some days ago, gets some 100 taels (15l.) a-month, but then he has a yamên and can \"make\" money. A plain soldier here gets 1 tael (3s.) a-month and miserable rations. On joining, a rifle and a pony are provided for him.\n\nThe rifles are old German pattern, marked \"Spandau,\" and are single cartridge. There is never any inspection of arms, and these are in consequence as dirty as they can possibly be.\n\nI was assured that all the soldiers at Ninghsia are supplied with the same pattern of rifle. The ammunition is kept in a large open case from which anybody can take as much as they like when they care to do so. They never have any rifle practice. For the journey to Alashan and back the Captain carried eighty rounds wrapped up in his bedding.\n\nChinese administration ends at the foot of the mountains, and we now entered the kingdom of Alashan.\n\nAscending the pass for some 4 miles, we halted for the night at Changsze, a solitary inn in the gully.\n\nThe pass is stony and strewn with boulders. It is impassable for carts, and even camels find great difficulty in making their way along. The gully is never more than 100 yards wide, and rarely, indeed, more than 80 yards. Steep, rugged mountains close it in on either side; these are almost unscalable; they are inexpressibly grand, and at times assume wonderful shapes. The pass winds a good deal, but the general direction is west-north-west. There is no traffic down it, with the exception of an occasional pedlar and a few donkeys labouring down with long fir logs bumping down fastened to their sides.\n\nA little vegetation grows on the mountains, but there are no trees or shrubs except in the gully; here yellow roses, white hawthorn, and a yellow gorse grew to no great height, while the ground is dotted with a small prickly plant which grows a few inches high and bears small pink and white bell-shaped flowers. Irises and the flower of the wild bean are also to be seen. There are few birds in the gully, but the voice of the cuckoo may be heard at times and the ubiquitous magpie sighted. At Changsze the hills become for a short distance a little less impregnable. The inn accommodation is of the scantiest and there are no supplies.\n\nMay 28.—Continuing north-west up the stony path the ascent becomes gradually", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422740, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 143, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "52 \n\ncould have reached it even sooner with a little haste. I spoke to the carters about the price, and when they said they did not expect to get as much as 1 tael a-day a-piece for entire expenses and wages, I took pleasure in telling them the amount I had paid the cart-owner. They informed me that a large portion of that amount would find its way to the official's pocket.\n\n## Preparation for Journey, Loss of Money and other Questions\n\nThe four and a-half days during which I was detained at Kweihuacheng awaiting a solution of the transport question were spent in a constant interchange of visits with the greater and lesser Chinese authorities, in making the necessary preparations as regards stores for the journey across the Gobi, and in dealing with some tiresome questions which arose.\n\nAmong the latter was the severe illness of a servant, which had been contracted in the Ordos desert, and made worse by the hardships which he had had to endure. At one time it seemed necessary to send the man back to Peking, which would have meant a serious delay to myself in obtaining another. However, he recovered sufficiently to proceed, and got completely well in the Gobi. Another tiresome question was the loss of 90 taels in the street en route from the native bank to the inn. It was an ordinary case of what we call in England carriage theft, but it might have proved a real embarrassment, as I had no means of procuring a further supply of money than what I had still left in the bank. I report on it as instancing the goodwill of the high official towards the traveller. The theft was reported at once to the police yamên, and I expressed a certain amount of censure on the attitude of the policemen attached to the street in which the theft occurred, in having allowed dense crowds to collect round my cart while I was making some purchases in a shop. The taotai called to express his regret, and his intention of making me a present of the amount, and would not hear of my refusing it or of my considering it a loan. He naïvely observed that he had already done the same thing in the case of British officers being robbed, and that the money had in both cases been eventually returned. On reaching Uliassutai I informed His Majesty's Legation of the occurrence, and Sir J. Jordan kindly undertook the task of the repayment of the loan.\n\n## Another necessity before starting was the official task to travel on the Government road\n\nThis was obtained from the Tutong. A letter from the Chiangchun was also necessary. This was obtained from the taotai, who was doing the Chiangchun's work pending the arrival of the successor to the disgraced official.\n\n## Climate across Gobi\n\nWhatever terrors the month of July may have in other years for the traveller across Gobi, that month in 1908 dealt with us very gently. Having experienced a good deal of discomfort from the heat and glare of the sun, both in Alashan, Ordos, and the Yellow River valley in June, it was with no little anxiety that we embarked on the journey across the desert to Urga. All fears as to heat were, however, groundless, for the weather throughout was mild and bordering on cold. The difference of temperature between the Kweihuacheng plain and the Mongolian plateau is so marked as to be really dangerous to travellers who are inexperienced in these regions, and the summer clothing, which, in spite of its lightness, was almost a burden at Kweihuacheng, became almost a deathtrap on ascending on to the plateau. As the Mongols spoke of this July as an ordinary one, as regards heat, it may, I think, be assumed to be the most comfortable month for travelling for those who dislike extremes of temperature. As regards rainfall, this year seems to have been unusually favourable. Rain fell on thirteen out of the twenty-one days which we took between Kweihuacheng and Urga, and in each case was accompanied by thunder and sometimes hail, one storm on the 8th July being exceedingly violent. The heaviness of the storms was proved by the fact that for some hours after the rain had ceased pools of water stood in the desert. Even on the days when no rain fell along our line of march it was visibly falling in the near distance and was accompanied by thunder. The storms came as a rule from the north-west or south-east direction, very occasionally from the south-west. They were invariably accompanied by high winds, which got up just before the storm, and subsided almost at once afterwards. The days when no rain fell were accompanied by a light breeze, usually from the north-west. This tempered the warmth of the sun considerably, though I proved to my cost that the latter had great power notwithstanding. The nights were often chilly and we were never able to sleep under less than three blankets, while on one occasion (the 30th June, two days after reaching the plateau) a stove was a real comfort in the evening.\n\n53 \n\n## The People, their attitude, habits, food, &c.\n\nUntil the last Chinese settlement, two days north of Kweihuacheng, was passed, we neither sighted a Mongol yurt nor met a single Mongol on the road. Afterwards we came into daily contact with them. Throughout the whole route they were extremely friendly and courteous. Greeting us at first as officials, i.e., somewhat stiffly, they threw off all reserve when they found we meant no harm by them. In this respect it was a great assistance to be able to speak to them in their own language. Small presents of knives, pocket looking-glasses, strings of beads, matches, candles, &c., were also a great aid in establishing good relations. While other travellers may have had a less happy experience I felt instinctively that they were wholly to be trusted. They live universally in the usual style of Mongol yurt, which is removable in five minutes' time. Their occupations are connected with their vast herds of ponies, oxen, sheep, goats, and camels, and the preparation of the hair, wool, and skins of these for the Chinese or Russian merchants. The Chinese traders make periodical tours of the districts to purchase what they require. Some of the Mongols take their skins, &c., to Kalgan and Kweihuacheng for sale. The life they live is one of blissful idleness, the only activity displayed being when they are on horseback. To this they are, of course, accustomed from childhood; they carry this habit so far that they even tend their flocks on horseback.\n\nThe greater number of the men whom one meets are lamas. Many of these by no means observe the rule as to keeping the head shaved, and consequently resemble closely-cropped Europeans. They are extremely pious and superstitious. What chiefly strikes one is the intimate knowledge the Mongols have of the country. To the uninitiated eye all looks the same, and slope follows slope, without there being seemingly any point or object which the eye can grasp as a land-mark, and yet all of a sudden one of the party will ride off rapidly to the east or west, over trackless downs, and disappear homewards, or else another will cross our path, coming from the east from apparently nowhere, accompany us for half-an-hour, and hear our news, and disappear as rapidly to the west as if on a high road.\n\nThe women cannot ever be described as graceful or pretty. The hard life they lead, and the perpetual existence in the saddle, probably prevent them from being the former, while constant exposure to the elements tans and wrinkles their faces till even the girls look elderly women. The curious head-dresses which the married women wear, and which are distinctive of the tribe to which they belong, give the women often an attractive appearance.\n\nThe same care which the women spend on their head-dresses the men spend on their saddles. These are hard wooden things with a high peak before and behind. The seats are studded with solid silver stars, and the rims to the peaks are also frequently of silver.\n\nAll the money which a family possesses goes either to the wife for her head-dress, or to the men for their saddles, or to both for tobacco. The men all take snuff also. The tobacco comes from China, and certainly costs double what it does in Kalgan. I came across no cases of opium-smoking, and few of drink. The latter is probably too expensive for anyone except Princes.\n\nEveryone of both sexes and of every age smokes, but not to excess.\n\nIt is rare that one sees a Mongol child, except the lama boys in the temples, and the reason probably is that the race is dying out. One can hardly be surprised. The life of a Mongol family is not adapted to the well-being of babies or little children, especially as the latter are expected to fend for themselves very early in life, and to pick up what they can in the way of food from the family pot. This, combined with the fact that there are no doctors, and that in the event of illness a cure is attempted either by the Chinese needle system or by suspending a Buddhist amulet round the neck, can only tend to the survival of the strongest constitutions.\n\nThe food of the people is simple and inexpensive. It consists almost entirely of cheese and dried milk, with an occasional cupful of rice. This latter is obtained from Kalgan in exchange for skins. Tea is an expensive luxury, but a great deal is drunk. Milk is always obtainable. Mutton or beef are eaten occasionally, but by no means daily. Salt is an expensive necessity, costing 50 cents a catty. The Mongol is not particular how his meat is cooked. At one place I disturbed a small official while he was breakfasting, and a close inspection of his fare showed that it consisted of...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422749, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 152, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "150 \n\n70 \n\nand so the inhabitants, not only of Northern Mongolia, but also of the whole territories of the Princes, i.e., right down to the Chinese line, would look to Russia as the predominant power.\n\nThe above report had been sketched out previous to crossing the Altaishan: I have therefore considered it best to let it stand, and merely to add this supplementary but important information regarding a new colony, which has been founded by the Chinese Government in pursuance of their policy of the development of their distant dependencies by Chinese. The settlement of Altaishan, Sharasumé, or Cheng-hwa-ssu, lies on the southern slopes of the Altai range, some 190 miles west of Kobdo, 60 north of Buluntogoi, 6 days east of Zaisan post (in Russian territory), 19 north north-west of Manas and Guchen respectively, and 15 north-east of Chuguchak. Two years ago no buildings existed here, except that of a ruined Lama temple (Shara sumé, i.e., Yellow Temple). A number of Hassacks and Turkis inhabited the district with their nomad tents and herds. Hither came a Manchu officer dispatched by the Central Government, took up his abode in the ruined temple, housed his staff and soldiers in tents, and began the work of the construction of a settlement. This work has been going on steadily since, so that now the yamên is a respectable building, there are numerous low houses for the staff and soldiers (all of mud and wood) and a small town has been built, though it only consists, as yet, of two streets at right angles. Merchants have been begged to come, some eight or ten have responded, these being branches of Peking and Tien-tsin shops, and a fair number of Turkis have also arrived. The merchants have their shops and ground free; the former they find ready for occupation, for the building goes on ceaselessly, and the number of empty houses is considerable. The garrison numbers 1,000 men, 600 Mongols, and 400 Chinese, who are also carpenters, bricklayers, tailors, &c. Six German guns arrived in September. The colony is eventually to be established on the plain 30 miles to the south, and is only here provisionally. The present site was selected because of the few buildings already in existence. It is three-quarters of a mile from the Kilingho river, and is situated on rising ground among low hills, which lie in their turn among the mountains. A small canal brings water from the stream winding round and among the hillocks.\n\nA study of this colony shows that the Chinese Government are in earnest as regards their policy.\n\nIn connection with this, extracts from my diary under a later section will interest.\n\nUrga.\n\nThe first signs that the traveller approaching Urga from Sair Ussu is nearing his goal may be seen in the change of scenery two days to the south. Here the plains and gently rolling downs which have characterized the Gobi become transformed into narrow valleys and low hills over which the track climbs by numerous little passes, usually very abrupt. Most of the valleys have pools of water or marshy ground in them, and the pasturage is exceedingly good. On this a large nomad population lives. Possibly the proximity of the sacred town of Urga has something to do with the increase in the number of yourts. On reaching a cairn on the summit of a small pass some half-way between the third and fourth post-stations from Urga the Bogdo Ula become visible. It is with some pleasure that one sights its wooded heights, for it must not be supposed that the change in scenery has brought with it any change as regards trees, and the valleys and hills are just as devoid of these as ever the Gobi was. One is also led to hope that there will be an end of this treeless state, but herein one is disappointed, for although there is an enormous amount of timber on the mountains north of Urga there is not a single tree visible from the city in or around Urga except on the Bogdo Ula. Having sighted the ridge the track bends slightly to the north-west to get round its flank, and for the last 12 miles runs due east. The sacred town itself is visible from a point 8 miles to the west, where the road crosses a small spur of the range to descend into the Tola valley. At this point there are two obos, unusually fanatically decorated with prayer flags and bones. From here onwards Urga is constantly in sight, and the path runs first over ground gently sloping down to the river, then along the river itself, finally crossing the stream and a number of backwaters and creeks, and reaching the town over a plain 1 mile broad.\n\nThe Tola flows down the valley from east to west under shelter of the Bogdo Ula. The day we first forded it (for there is no bridge) it was split up into numerous channels, which embraced several stretches of good pastureland to which cattle had managed to reach. The main stream at that time was about 200 yards wide and 2 feet deep with a swift current.\n\n71\n\nThe ford is somewhat peculiar. About 100 yards across a course upstream to the north-east has to be taken; sheep and goats are towed across, and have to swim for their lives; they reach the opposite shore in a most exhausted and lamentable plight. Except where the stream passes immediately under the shadow of the Bogdo Ula the banks are flat. The second time we crossed the river—nine days later—circumstances had entirely changed. Very severe rains had fallen in the meantime, and for most of these days the river had been unfordable. As there is no boat or ferry on the river communication with the south was temporarily suspended. The day before we attempted to cross it had been entirely clear until evening, when such violent rain ensued for two hours that it seemed that the hope of crossing in the morning would have to be abandoned. However, the river, which before the previous day's rain had been reported to be in no better state, took a turn for the better during the night in spite of the rain, and we found a native resident on the banks who was willing to risk a crossing. As in all the creeks and backwaters the water had been up to the ponies' chests it was rather anxious work, the stream being considerably broader than usual, and as the water was swirling down at a great pace. The heavily-laden camels had great difficulty in keeping their footing—fortunately the bed is stony and not mud or sand—and my small cart was entirely submerged. The crossing was an anxious piece of work which we were glad to see finished.\n\nUrga or Kuren or Da Khure, the God Lama's encampment, can only be described as a vast camp. The oldest portion is that which lies on rising ground above the river bed. This portion, however, has overflowed to the east into the broad bed, dry except in the rainy season, of a mountain stream which unites with the Tola. This lower portion is known as Gandan. At the eastern extremity of this district is the Amban's residence and, 300 yards to the north-east of this, the barracks. A mile further to the east, past ground little built on, brings the traveller to the Russian Consulate, post-office, &c.; after another couple of hundred yards the Russo-Chinese Bank is reached, and a mile further on the most easterly point of all, the original Chinese trade borough, \"Maima-chin,\" where is the Chinese telegraph station. A good road, but stony, connects all these places, passing over numerous well-kept wooden bridges spanning the numerous mountain torrent beds.\n\nThe need of these bridges was very apparent during our stay in Urga, as each bed was transformed into a raging torrent, some only for a short space of time, others for several days. The heavy rain, unfortunately, had little effect in improving the state of the narrow lanes and paths which serve as streets in Urga, the filth of which it is quite impossible to describe. The only attempt at sanitation seems to be in Maimachin, where the streets are better kept.\n\nThe chief centre of trade seems now to be Gandan, where the market-place is, and round which are the Russian and Chinese shops—for the day is passed when the Chinese were confined to Maimachin to trade. The only Chinese inn to be found, a miserable place, was also in Gandan, and the market-place is daily the centre of bustling activity. One end of it is reserved for the pony market, and another holds the booths where nothing but Mongol boots are sold. These are of Russian leather, and are made locally. The ladies who sell Mongol hats have reserved another corner for themselves, while everywhere booths are scattered about at which such cheap things are displayed as may tempt the Mongols' fancy. These things are chiefly those that glitter, bright metal match boxes, cheap gaudy rings, &c. Even when the usually dry torrent bed had become a raging stream, a number of booths still managed to retain their position. All the Chinese shops seem to sell everything from cheap snuff boxes, good silk and cloth, Chinese shoes, and blue enamel ware, to really good skins, such as sable and fox. The prices for everything are as varied as the number of goods sold. Everything depends on who the purchaser is, how great his need, and also how trade is going, and whether the article is in demand or not. If not, then some of the stock must be got rid of at no matter what price. Sometimes the merchant can get ten times the usual price for any article. A young lama comes in to buy a snuff bottle on behalf of a big lama, who wants to make a present at once. The bottle must be bought at no matter what price. So up this mounts till it cannot recognize itself. The merchants are chiefly men from Shansi or Peking. Some I was told few I met had been established at Urga for more than twenty-five years. that no Chinese who is a bad character can settle in the town.\n\nThis means that some one has to guarantee every new arrival. Formerly, merchants could make several thousands of taels a-year, but those good days are gone, and trade is now very bad. Sometimes shops have to be closed, and the firms recross the Gobi. The land belongs to the Mongols, and if anyone wants to buy land on which to erect a shop, he has to apply to the Mongol Amban. Most new comers, however, rent them.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422764, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 167, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## latter do come over to the north side \nin summer it is only for four months and in no great numbers, while even these few stay in the higher regions far from the Mongols. They thus rarely come into contact with each other, and as they rarely speak each other's language they are as strangers, and view each other as enemies, for the Hassacks are sheep-stealers and camel-lifters by profession, even pilfering from each other when there is no stranger to rob.\n\nIt was with real regret that we said good-bye to the Mongols, among whom we had lived for over four months, and this is a good opportunity to say a few words about them. They are a marvellously hardy race; they can ride for 30 or 40 miles on nothing but a drink of tea, although their daily diet does not appear to be at all sustaining; they can endure being thrown violently from their ponies to the hard ground without a murmur; even if half stunned their friends only shake them up again, and they remount as if nothing had happened. In spite of this, they are a timorous race, and this defect, apart from their lack of power of co-operation and lack of military training, render it highly improbable that they will ever be able to take the field again. They seem entirely incapable of any deep emotions either of gratitude, love, or sorrow, while they have no reverence whatever for their dead.\n\nThe mountain Mongols are jolly and independent and happy, though how they can find life pleasant during six months of winter it is difficult to see. They possess a childlike simplicity, and, like children, are pleased with anything novel or glittering; their timidity requires great patience to overcome. They are hospitable and careless to a fault, and, so far as my experience goes, absolutely honest and trustworthy.\n\n## September 5\nHeavy snow fell during the night. Wandering about the fir forests I came unexpectedly across fruits which I had difficulty in believing real with deep snow on the ground. There were gooseberries like our own, but slightly smaller and not so ripe, black currants growing singly on a stem and not in clusters, and a red berry, with little taste, growing in circular clusters on a long stem with a long narrow leaf; these somewhat resembled our ash berries; the natives eat all these fruits, as also a small dark purple berry not unlike a grape, but more oval and not so large; this grows singly on a stem.\n\n## September 6\nThe Hassacks shave their heads and wear a closely fitting cap with, over this, a variegated bonnet with flaps for the ears and neck, originally intended only for winter use, the natives now use this in summer also. They wear baggy trousers, either so short that they end well above the ankles, or so long that they almost conceal the whole foot. Some of the trousers have embroidery work on them. For coat they wear a loose big garment somewhat like our frock coat, this sometimes has a coloured border; this coat is tied loosely at the waist, and is sometimes trimmed and lined with fur.\n\n## September 7\nLeaving the basin of the lake in a westerly direction we passed a ruined log cabin, and at once (within half-a-mile) began to ascend, and after crossing some very stony broken ground descended slightly to a comparatively large lake at mile 24, which drains by a chain of smaller lakes to Daunngor. We now began to ascend steadily up the valley of the stream which feeds the above-mentioned lake. It took us five and a-half hours to reach the summit of the Ermektu Daba (daba meaning pass). For the last couple of miles the whole face of the range was a watercourse from the melting snow, and travelling was difficult; in addition to this, it was excessively steep, and consisted of nothing but loose slate, shale, and stones. The fir plantations soon came to an end after starting, and were succeeded by a low scrub 1 to 2 feet high, resembling our bilberry, only not so thick. On the west side of the range this was more profuse. Both on the ascent and descent many purple and yellow pansies, common dandelions, and buttercups were to be seen among the snow. Contrary to expectation, there is a little view to be obtained from the top of this pass over the main range.\n\nDescending sharply by an equally difficult track we reached a tiny lake a mile below the summit, whence flows a small stream, one of the head waters of the Kran, to join the Irtish. Descending rapidly down this valley we reached the station of Ermektu balak after a total march of 18 difficult miles. This station is out of the main valley and on a brawling mountain torrent which rushes down to join the stream we had left. One of the camels was so exhausted descending the pass that it had to be abandoned.\n\n## September 8\nWe had a long and difficult day during which we descended several thousands of feet by a series of valleys and mountains, the camel track sticking at nothing, but going straight ahead over hill and dale; the general direction was south-west. Crossing the Ermektu gol we kept at the same height for 2½ miles, dropping then to a valley, out of which we climbed again; at mile 6 we reached a valley down the stream of which we kept to mile 12; passing a collection of Hassack graves here and crossing another mountain torrent we climbed a steep fir-clad range in front of us.\n\nThese were the first firs seen on this side of the range; from now onwards the valleys were full of these groves, and it is here that bear are to be found. At mile 20, after crossing several ranges and passes, we found ourselves on the top of the last pass on this side of the Altais, and were able to enjoy a view over the plains which blinding snow had denied us from the loftier passes. From here we descended abruptly into a gully stretching to the west. At the head of this was the camp of Uliassuta. A more delightful spot than this narrow cañon flanked by high fir-clad hills and watered by a mountain burn could hardly be imagined. We were thoroughly exhausted by our march of 21 miles, for the day could not have been more disagreeable.\n\nThe morning opened cloudy, and an hour after the start was made the weather broke, and after coquetting with us with hail, sleet, and snow for an hour or so, the wind bringing it from every quarter in turn, heavy thunder being also heard in the distance, snow settled in definitely, and for two hours a blizzard raged from the west, entirely concealing the track, and making marching horrible. We left the snow in the valley above us, and at Uliassutu found heavy rain had fallen all day long.\n\nThe camels were exhausted by the march, and this goes to show that the Chinese Government would find it difficult in case of need to maintain a continuous transport service for stores or ammunition along this route, for the animals could not do two heavy days consecutively.\n\nIn addition to the pansies found growing among the snows to-day there is also a creeper which grows in the greatest profusion, it somewhat resembles ivy but the leaf is not glossy; the leaf is small and inclined to turn red in the autumn. In addition to the firs there is a mass of fir undergrowth.\n\nThe range on this, the west side, is much narrower than on the east side, as will be noted from the fact that we descended from the top of the pass in two and a-half days while the ascent to the same took seven and a-half marching days.\n\nThe mountains on this side are a confused mass with really beautiful valleys and the descent is much more picturesque than was the ascent. There are few lakes but innumerable streams.\n\nThe women (in the mountains) go unveiled but they wear a white linen covering to the head drawn tightly over the forehead, it can be drawn over the face at will. A long green coat and a short variegated petticoat with boots like the men's complete their dress. They are very shy.\n\n## September 9\nThe warmth in the cañon struck me very forcibly after the cold in the mountains above. We descended the gully for some 4½ miles and I warrant it would be difficult to find a prettier scene than this. At the same time we were gradually descending to summer again and the day being still and cloudless the sun shone with all the force of September. On the south side the valley was thickly covered with firs while along the babbling stream grew willows, birches, poplars. On the north side were low bushes many covered with wild berries and turned to autumnal red and gold; among these the track wound. Butterflies of all the commoner varieties known in Europe were chasing each other in the sunlight, insects humming everywhere, gorgeous dragon flies flitting about while the air was fragrant with the scent of the firs. Added to these were the chattering of the pies, the cawing of rooks, and the merry song of the woodcutter and ginseng hunter (for a coarse variety of this plant so prized in China grows here in some profusion). Even on the north side a few firs were to be seen but these decline to face the south and, when they are found there, are small and puny. Squirrels were darting across the path no longer condemned to bury themselves in the ground away from the sunlight.\n\nAt mile 4 we turned out of the gully and dropping over low hills covered with low bushes into valley after valley we reached the new Chinese colony of Sharasumé at mile 13½.\n\nLet me add that the track is an extremely difficult one to find, winding as it does in an unusually intricate manner among these scrub-covered hills, and it is essential to have local guides; it may be mentioned that even the natives sometimes lose their way in the maze of hills.\n\nDuring the morning we killed a snake 1·4 feet long of greenish brown colour. The Hassacks said it was a highly poisonous one.\n\nPage 100\nPage 101 \n\n(2355 6—1) \n2 D \n\n185 \n\n1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422776, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 179, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "# 177 \n## 124 \n\nOctober 20.-This place was built by a general as a picket 30 years ago and then abandoned. The present keeper does not pay taxes. He says that water is brought from a distance of 10 miles in troughs but I did not verify this.\n\nThe day was vile, snow falling heavily all the morning. We ascended steadily all day and travelling was terrible. We halted after 20 miles at Santai (3rd tai) on the shores of Sairam Noor, a wonderfully picturesque lake in its present cold setting of snow-clad mountains. The natives say it takes two days to go round the lake.\n\nWe had now reached a height of 5,900 feet above sea level, the ground was deep with snow and the cold intense. Some fir forests on the mountain slopes provide plenty of firewood.\n\nOctober 21.-Snow fell steadily all day, and being driven by a southerly wind penetrated to every corner of the carts. Keeping along the lake for some little distance, we parted company for a short time to descend to it again at mile 10, at the picket of Kosekou at the foot of the short steep pass of Talki. Here we had to halt for an hour, to allow some carts in the narrow gorge leading up to the Talki pass from the south to emerge. The distance from the picket to the top of the pass cannot be more than a quarter of a mile, but we took 1 1/4 hours to climb it. The track, which is really steep, zigzags up the hill, and even at ordinary times must be a hard pull for the Chinese carts; with heavy snow on the ground the ascent is slippery and still more difficult. To add to our troubles we fell into a snow-drift some 3 feet deep, and all the flounderings of the mules availed nothing. They had to be unharnessed and the cart dug out; there were two other carts going over and three coming down; as we were all in the same plight, we formed a mutual aid society. Immediately on reaching the top of the pass we descended into the Talki gorge, so famous for its beauty. Descending steadily the whole time the road winds down the coils of the dragon-like gorge, which is scarcely more than 30 yards wide. The steep sides are covered with firs. The mountains retain their height as the traveller descends, and they become more gigantic and splendid at each turn of the road. The roadway, which is artificial, judging by the stones and staves which mark its course, is excellent, except that in winter the snow entirely conceals the edge. Even in summer the traveller is in danger of being hurled into the rock-strewn stream below, but in winter the danger is vastly greater. Strong wooden bridges, in an excellent state of repair, cross the stream at times, their position being indicated by posts. The snow was, however, very difficult, and drifts several feet deep threatened to stop us.\n\nWe struggled through to Errhtai (second tai), some 32 miles down the gorge. The inn and the few other buildings were almost concealed by the snow drifts, and the yard so blocked up that entry was almost impossible. The inn was one of the most wretched I had ever seen.\n\nOctober 22.-The day was superb; what little of the sky that could be seen from the gorge was a deep blue, and the whole ravine sparkled in the sunlight. The cold had been so great during the night that our breath froze on the outer rug of the bed. The mules looked miserable for their sheds were open buildings. We continued our mutual aid society and left—a long line of ten carts—for some of the carts of the Hassacks had to be used to relieve the heavily-laden carts of the bigger loads. The day was, however, wasted as regards travelling, for we had only ploughed our way through deep snow (checked every 20 yards or so by a 5-foot deep drift, which had to be spaded away) for half a mile, when we were stopped by a drift which even, after three-quarters of an hour's work, was too big to allow us to pass. Although it was nearly as difficult to turn, for on either side of the track were deep dangerous drifts into which the mules floundered, we had to risk being hurled down the precipice, and returned to the inn for the rest of the day. The picket of fifteen men were sent forward to open the road; these were joined by the carters. There are said to be fifty soldiers looking after the road, and, as this is their only duty, I had no compunction in sending them out. We must pass to-morrow for we have run short of provisions.\n\nA long line of camels passed up from the south in the evening, and it was reported that the big snow only lay for another 2 miles. In the late afternoon two workers reported that the road was passable.\n\nOctober 23.--We could not leave till late, for the reason that the Hassacks had sat up all night gambling and slept late. When they had to pay their bill, one of them had no money, having lost it all to his colleagues. They were all quarrelsome, and complaining of the food, the prices, and the fodder. There was thus all the makings of a row, and we had to let the brutes move about at their own pace, for fear of their knives.\n\nThese Hassacks come here in the winter and summer to make money by their carts in the heavy snow and rains when the ordinary heavy travelling carts have to pass light, and, indeed, unload altogether. The big Hassack carts are more easy for the road. They charge 33 taels a-piece, and only carry two boxes each. They could really charge what they liked, for one has got to get through somehow. Every one pays a little to the pioneer cart to go first; if he decides to go back they must all go, and if to go forward they must all follow suit.\n\nWhen we did start we got along all right as far as where we were stuck yesterday. Their idea was just but the soldiers' idea of an open road entirely differed from ours, to clear a narrow track for foot-passengers; this was quite useless for carts, so we stuck again, and after many efforts to get through the Hassacks voted for return to camp. We got the best of them, but more by threats of personal violence than by any other kind of persuasion. It was simply a question of the first cart getting through, and the rest could follow. We therefore concentrated our attentions and energies on the first cart (and carter!). The soldiers were said to be working on ahead (their only implements were wooden spades, and they were resting a good deal, being weedy opium sots), but we gradually forced our way through to them. They were working on the last bad bit, an upward incline of some 40 yards, and had to cut through drifts 8 feet high. Even when the path was cut it was terrible work for the mules, for they were practically pulling the whole time belly deep in the snow. It took seven horses to pull the first cart through, but, once done, all was over, for the snow beyond never lay more than 2 feet deep, in addition to which we met hundreds of camels coming up, and these are capital animals for treading down a track.\n\nPassing a couple of habitations down the gorge we reached Totai at mile 8. From Totai there are only soldiers here and no inn, so we had to continue the march. Later we got a view of the plain to the south and over across this to the mountains beyond.\n\nDescending very abruptly after leaving Totai we were out on the plain 12 miles later. We had spent so many hours battling with the snows that night had already fallen as we emerged from the Talki gorges. Keeping over the plain 9 miles we reached Lusakou, one of the hsien cities which form the Government district of Ilifu. Of two inns here one was full; we could obtain no supplies at the other, and the shops were all closed and refused to sell us anything; we therefore had to go to bed supperless.\n\nOctober 24.-We only got through the mountains in time, for heavy snow fell on them all day. We got rid of our Hassack carts here, and resumed our heavy baggage. Two of our ponies died in the night from exposure in the mountains; they had been ailing all yesterday.\n\nThe chief officer of the town and also the colonel sent cards early in the morning with the usual inquiries. Two soldiers of different types called. The one was the representative of the old school. He told me there were 100 soldiers here, 50 cavalry and 50 infantry, but I doubt there being more than the old type, and they only do escort and such work. Besides which 100 on the register by no means indicates the real strength. The other man was more interesting, for he was of the Luchün. He was a sergeant, and told me that seven men were stationed here; 700 had come last year from Hupei, trained by the Hupei military school. Of these 700, 240 had been sent to Ili, the rest being retained at Urumtsi. His pay was 25 taels a-month, that of a soldier 5 t. 20 c. He was dressed in a neat tight-fitting black uniform, and carried a sword. His high boots were of leather, and his cap of foreign type, black, with plenty of gold braid. He was excellently disciplined, very respectful, and stood at attention the whole time we were talking.\n\nKeeping towards the south-east over rough uninteresting ground we reached at mile 9 the line of trees which marks Suidun and entered the town at mile 14 4. The busy trading quarter of Suidun lies to the south of the small walled portion of the town. The inns do a tremendous business, but accommodation is wretched. It is entered by wooden gates and protected by a low mud wall.\n\nIn this town reside the Chentai (General) and the Chibfu. I called on the latter on the 24th October. He is an amiable old gentleman of 66 years, thirty-four of which he has served in Sinkiang. He speaks no foreign language. He confirmed what I had already heard that the Russians keep a guard of a sergeant and ten men at Suidun, in the interests of trade. He seemed to think it quite natural. I subsequently called on the Chentai's secretary, the Chentai being, as I knew, still absent on his Chuguchak trip. The secretary, a military official, is a man of 58, friendly and amiable, but does not speak any foreign language.

Sir, \n\nTengyueh, June 9, 1909. \nI HAVE the honour to inclose duplicate of a Report, which I am forwarding to-day to His Majesty's Minister at Peking, containing an account of a recent journey in south-west Yunnan to ascertain the measures which have been taken to effect a decrease in the opium crops. \n\n### Inclosure in No. 1. \n\nI have, &c. \n**ARCHIBALD ROSE.** \n\n## Report of a Journey into the Opium Districts of South-West Yünnan, with an account of the Annual Fair at Talifu. \n\n### Object of Journey. \n\nON the 22nd April, 1909, I left Tengyueh to make a flying tour round the districts in the neighbourhood of Tengyueh, the territory under the jurisdiction of the I-Hsi Tantai, which is estimated to produce 45 per cent. of the total opium crops of the Province of Yunnan. The routes taken by myself and two Chinese assistants are shown on the inset map, and pass through the tracts which in the past have proved most favourable to the growth of the poppy. \n\n### Routes. \n\nLeaving Tengyueh in a due easterly direction I followed the main road for three days, then branched off on to a bridle path leading south-east in the direction of Shunning Fu. Thence I turned north and reached Talifu by way of Meng-hua Ting, returning to my post through Yung-chang Fu. The consulate writer accompanied me as far as Shunning Fu, then proceeded to Yünchou and took a more easterly road to Talifu. The third route lay to the south of Tengyueh, through territory administered by the Shan Sawbwas.\n\n### Description of Country. \n\nThe track by which I travelled lay across a plateau from 5,000 to 6,000 feet above the level of the sea, with frequent rises and falls, some of the passes being at an altitude of over 8,000 feet, whilst the Salwen Valley is but 2,200 feet above the sea. In dry weather the firm, sandy path made walking or riding very pleasant, but in the heavy rains, which overtook us on several days, the steep slopes were almost impassable, and we were obliged to struggle up and down in straw sandals, whilst the mules found great difficulty in keeping their feet and made slow progress. Our small party did double stages over practically the whole route, and it was therefore impossible to carry tents or heavy kit of any description. As a result, we were dependent for a rude shelter on the occasional mud huts by the way, and were often obliged to carry our own food and fodder. The nights are cold and inhospitable in these mountain regions, and, after a march from dawn till dark, there was a comfort in the wood fire built on the floor that made one forget the dirt, the crowding humanity, and the smoke that stung our unaccustomed eyes. The country is wonderfully beautiful, a succession of fir-clad uplands with great mountain ranges stretching beyond them; far below, the Shweli, the Salwen, and Mekong, the Red River...\n\n* Not reproduced. \n\nB \n[2363 t-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422918, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 321, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## DOMESTIC\nC.O 79275 \nCPI SEP 09 \n\nHory Nory huiverenty \nLeeds copy desp from Peking reporting Chinese for sub-oftails 10000.\n\nA 992 \nMr. Stubbs \n3-A. & F.

There were present at the interview Mr. Liu Yuk-lin, of the Wai-wu Pu, and myself.\n\nMr. Chirol, in reply to questions, said that this was his fourth visit to China. He was greatly interested in the political problems which were unfolding themselves, and commented on the changes which had taken place, and especially upon the remarkable alteration in the relations between the provinces and the Central Government. The increased authority of the provincial governments and corresponding diminution of the central control were signs of the times which much impressed him.\n\nThe Grand Secretary agreed that the central authority was not what it was. Since 1900 there had been a change, and the provinces were more independent in their attitude and less disposed to take their orders from Peking. That was the great difficulty of the Chinese Government at the moment.\n\nMr. Chirol mentioned that he had just come from Japan, where the problem of reform had not been the same. There reform had come from above; here it was coming rather from below. The absence of a middle class in Old Japan facilitated matters at the beginning, but it had no doubt made them more difficult later on. While the initial difficulties in China were greater because of the numbers and importance of the middle classes, it was probable that the path of reform would be the smoother in the future because of their presence.\n\nHis Excellency demurred to the statement that reform in China was coming from below. The Court took the greatest interest in reforms generally, and parliamentary reform in particular, and there had been numerous decrees of the late and present reign which proved that change was being directed from above. He asked Mr. Chirol, as an expert in political affairs, what particular steps he would advise China to take at the present juncture in the direction of reform.\n\nMr. Chirol said that he could have no hesitation in answering such a question. It was quite clear that a reform of the currency and finance of the Empire must precede all others, and must form the foundation of effective progress. If there was any one lesson that Western experience had taught us it was that. And finance had the advantage of being an exact science which, in the hands of experts, was capable of mathematical results. The benefits to be derived from financial reform were as certain as that two and two made four, and he had been unable to understand why it was that the Chinese Government had not thought of enlisting the services of foreign experts for the purpose of securing these benefits as soon as possible.\n\nHis Excellency agreed that financial reform was the first essential. Everybody in China recognised that it was, but there was a strong party against the employment of foreign experts, who raised the objection that such agents would gradually acquire power and become a serious political danger. Of course well-informed persons were not apprehensive of any such result.\n\nMr. Chirol enquired whether this apprehension arose from the precedent of the abnormal position of the Imperial maritime customs in China, and Na Chung-tang said he did not think so. The opinion was held, as regards experts, in all matters, but he repeated that it was not held by the well-informed, and arose in the main from ignorance.\n\nTo show how unnecessary such apprehensions were, Mr. Chirol mentioned the example of Japan in the matter of experts. Japan had gone to Western countries, had engaged the best she could find, had assigned them suitable positions, had kept them until everything they could teach had been learnt, and, when the terms of their engagements expired, parted with them in a friendly manner which did honour to both parties. He saw no reason why China could not follow Japan's example.\n\nThe Grand Secretary acquiesced generally. He had been to Japan in 1901, and had been told then what had been done. The Japanese Government began by sending 500 selected men abroad to study modern institutions, and when the successful of these returned—some 250 or so—foreign experts were invited with them to collaborate in reforming Japan.\n\nAsked what was actually being done at the present time in China as regards finance, he said he understood that the Board of Finance was investigating the conditions throughout the Empire and obtaining reports, and that no decision would be taken until the facts were ascertained.\n\nIn reply to an observation of the Grand Secretary, Mr. Chirol said that for many years he had taken a deep interest in the political evolution of Eastern countries. East and West were as two rivers which had been flowing far apart in parallel directions for ages, but the waters of which were now mingling, and the problems arising were of absorbing interest to him as a student of the history of the human race.\n\nHis Excellency expressed himself as highly honoured and pleased to have had the opportunity of a conversation with such a renowned authority on the politics of the Far East as Mr. Chirol.\n\nC.

It is now therefore necessary to draw the required revenue from other sources. This is particularly difficult in a year when the resources of the Treasury are particularly low, and the needs of the country correspondingly great. Appropriations for the army and the navy are the most pressing needs, but in addition there is the expenditure incidental to the reform movement as well as to other most important measures, from none of which is it possible to divert funds. In the present year there are also extraordinary items of expenditure, such as the erection of His Majesty the late Emperor's mausoleum, the raising of the new guard regiments, military expansion in Yünnan, the opening of trade-marts at Kirin and Chang-ch'un-- items amounting in all to well over 12,000,000 taels. There is already grave danger therefore of supply not being equal to demand, and there is certainly no surplus in the Treasury from which to draw so large a sum. \n\nIn view, however, of the grave importance of naval requirements to the expansion of the country, and in pursuance of the desire of the throne to strengthen the fighting forces of the country, in our capacity as at the head of the finances of the Empire, we felt it our duty to examine thoroughly the resources of the entire country. Since we realise, however, that these are in a precarious condition in every district, we consider that efforts should be confined for the present to laying the ground-work of a navy, and no attempt can be made to form an efficient fighting unit. \n\nUpon a minute consideration of all possible sources of supply, we have resolved that on repayment by the Board of Communications of Kuei Ping 5,000,000 taels, borrowed from the Treasury by that Board for the redemption of the Peking-Hankow Railway and repayable between the years 1911-1915, the whole shall be devoted to naval purposes. \n\nAs regards the viceroys and governors of the various provinces, to whom we sent instructions to make contributions in accordance with the sums named and the times fixed in the original memorial of the naval commissioners, the substance of their replies is as follows:- \n\nYünnan, Kueichow, Kansu, and the New Dominion plead their position as frontier provinces and their poverty as excuses for making no contribution whatever. The remaining eighteen provinces promise contributions towards the initial expenditure required to a total amount of 11,340,000 taels, with an annual subsidy of 1,680,000 taels. A detailed list of these contributions is set out in the attached memorandum.* \n\nThe sum required for naval purposes is a large one. In addition, the time given for its collection is not wide. The provinces have offered their help, but the contributions still fall short of the sums mentioned in the original memorial. There is no question but that the finances of the country, both with the Central Government and in the provinces, are in a very weak condition; the surplus in the Treasury is completely exhausted; in the provinces, whatever methods were adopted to raise the shortage, no scraping or paring could achieve the desired result. Again, in the telegrams sent to our board from the various provincial Governments, with the exception of Hunan and Honan, no source of revenue is earmarked for this naval contribution; the remaining Governments ask that more time be given them, either to raise their contribution or to devise some means for diverting moneys used for other objects to this purpose. Though expressing their utmost readiness to make any contribution possible, they at the same time fully recognise the many difficulties that beset their path. Any sums now lying in the provincial and customs treasuries are already fully earmarked for the upkeep of the army or for other essential and national requirements, and cannot in any way be diverted for this purpose, under risk of causing delay and friction in the whole machinery of government. \n\nIt is our humble opinion that orders should be given by the Throne to the naval commissioners to reconsider their programme, and to accept the fact that the contributions promised are all that can now be obtained. They should select the items on that programme which they consider the most necessary, and carry them out as far as funds will allow, on the principle that every foot gained brings them nearer the completion of their object. We, on our side, will take every possible step to ensure the amounts promised being paid punctually by the provinces concerned into the treasury, where they will lie at the disposal of the commissioners. A similar procedure will be adopted with the loan funds, now in the hands of the Board of Communications, as they fall due. \n\nAppended is a complete list of funds at our disposal, and of amounts promised by each of the provinces.* \n\n* Not printed. \n\n## AFFAIRS OF CHINA \n\n**CONFIDENTIAL** \n\n`[41854]`\n\n### No. 1 \n\n2 DEC 09 \n\n### SECTION 2 \n\n186 \n\nSir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received November 15.) (No. 390.) Sir, \n\nPeking, October 25, 1909. I HAVE the honour to transmit herewith copy of a despatch from His Majesty's acting consul-general at Mukden, describing the attempt which is being made in Manchuria to introduce a boycott of Japanese goods as a retaliation for Japanese action in commencing the reconstruction of the Antung-Mukden Railway without awaiting the approval of the Chinese Government. \n\nThe movement is unlikely to assume serious proportions, but the fact that it has been made at all has a far-reaching significance. Manchuria is mainly inhabited by an immigrant population, amongst whom the guild system is far less effectively organised than in the central and southern regions of the Empire, and the Japanese are especially fortunate in having been able to select such a region for the enforcement of a strong line of policy. Had the scene been laid elsewhere in China, it is safe to assume that the experience which followed the \"Tatsu Maru\" incident would have been repeated. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nJ. N. JORDAN. \n\n### Inclosure in No. 1 \n\nActing Consul-General Willis to Sir J. Jordan. \n\n(No. 55.) Sir, \n\nMukden, October 23, 1909. THERE can be little doubt but that since the decision of the Japanese Government early in August last to commence the reconstruction of the Antung-Mukden line without awaiting the conclusion of the negotiations, there has been a gradual recrudescence of anti-Japanese feeling in Manchuria. It is of course well known that the high provincial authorities strongly disapprove of the terms of the China-Japan Manchurian convention recently concluded at Peking, and under the circumstances it was only to be expected that an attempt would be made to introduce an anti-Japanese boycott. \n\nDuring the past six weeks Mukden has been placarded with proclamations urging a strict boycott; Japanese policy in Manchuria, especially with reference to the Antung-Mukden Railway and the Chien-tao question, is denounced in the most virulent invective, and Chinese merchants who deal in Japanese goods are branded as traitors to their country, and described as little better than animals. \n\nThe proclamations are signed \"Manchurian Japanese Boycott Society\" or \"The Peoples' Society,\" the organisation of which bodies is generally attributed to Cantonese students. \n\nAs a result of the representations of Mr. Koike, the Japanese consul-general, official proclamations forbidding the boycott have recently been issued by the Commissioner of the Education Department, the Commissioner of the Interior, and the taotai in charge of the Board of Agriculture, Industry, and Commerce. \n\nIn Mukden itself the boycott up to the present seems to be a somewhat half-hearted affair, although Major Sato, the director of South Manchurian Railway affairs at Mukden, recently informed me that it was causing considerable inconvenience. At Antung, Mr. Savage informs me, a determined attempt to promulgate the boycott was started by emissaries from Mukden; but the commercial relations between Japanese and Chinese at that port are so intricately connected that the boycott society has met so far with but little success. \n\nIt is reported, however, that in Kirin province the feeling is much stronger, and it would seem that the strenuous efforts that are being made by the provincial authorities to obtain control of the bean trade are prompted largely by a desire to thwart Japanese enterprise. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nROBERT WILLIS. \n\n`[2495 p-2]`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 423638, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "page_number": 242, "title": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "content_text": "36\n\nA great deal of opium smoking is prevalent in Shansi owing to the way the people have of consuming large quantities of half-cooked food.\n\nEnquiries as to the popular sentiment with regard to the anti-opium measures generally elicited the reply that the people were on the whole glad that they were being obliged to give up the habit; they could not help realising its pernicious effects, but lacked the moral courage to abandon the drug of their own initiative. There is, however, a section of the community, chiefly of the student class and gentry, who are rather inclined to regard the action of the State as an unnecessary interference with the liberty of the individual, and would prefer to be left in peace to the enjoyment of their pipe.\n\nThe enormous increase in the marketable value of opium in Shansi has had the effect of widening the area under cultivation in the adjoining province, and a missionary, writing from Meihsien on the Wei River, in Shensi, states that the poppy is now grown to such an extent in the Wei Valley that the farmers have actually had to import wheat for their own consumption from other parts of the province—a very unusual state of affairs. It is believed that the prohibition will be extended to Shensi in 1910, so the people are making the most of their opportunities.\n\nIn Honan, less opium has been grown this year than last, especially near the main roads, and none was visible from the railway, but I am told that a considerable amount is still being cultivated in various parts of the province.\n\nThe energetic action that has been taken in Shansi is worthy of the highest praise, and it only remains to be seen whether the results are to be permanent or not. The regulations governing the election of representatives in the new scheme of constitutional government expressly exclude all opium smokers from holding office, so it is to be hoped that a safeguard against any reintroduction of the poppy will be afforded by the presence of a body of men in the councils of the capital whose desire for the welfare of the province is unhampered by considerations of a personal nature.\n\nIn conclusion, I would like to express my gratitude to the Protestant missionaries of Shansi, from whom I always received the greatest hospitality and assistance, and to whom I am indebted for much of the information contained in this report.\n\nJ. F. BRENAN.\n\nPeking, June 26, 1903.\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\n### Report of a Journey into the Opium Districts of South-West Yunnan, with an Account of the Annual Fair at Tali-fu\n\n#### Object of Journey\n\nOn the 22nd April, 1909, I left Tengyueh to make a flying tour round the districts in the neighbourhood of Tengyueh, the territory under the jurisdiction of the Hsi Taotai, which is estimated to produce 45 per cent of the total opium crops of the province of Yunnan. The routes taken by myself and two Chinese assistants passed through the tracts which in the past have proved most favourable to the growth of the poppy.\n\n#### Routes\n\nLeaving Tengyueh in a due easterly direction, I followed the main road for three days, then branched off on to a bridle path leading south-east in the direction of Shunning-fu; thence I turned north and reached Tali-fu by way of Meng-hua Ting, returning to my post through Yung-chang-fu. The consulate writer accompanied me as far as Shunning-fu, then proceeded to Yunchou, and took a more easterly road to Tali-fu. The third route lay to the south of Tengyueh, through territory administered by the Shan sawbwas.\n\n#### Description of Country\n\nThe track by which I travelled lay across a plateau from 5,000 to 6,000 feet above the level of the sea, with frequent rises and falls, some of the passes being at an altitude of over 8,000 feet, whilst the Salwen Valley is but 2,200 feet above the sea. In dry weather, the firm, sandy path made walking or riding very pleasant, but in the heavy rains which overtook us on several days, the steep slopes were almost impassable, and we were obliged to struggle up and down in straw sandals, whilst the rules found great difficulty in keeping their feet, and made slow progress. Our small party did double stages over practically the whole route, and it was therefore impossible to carry tents or heavy kit of any description. As a result, we were dependent for a rude welcome on the occasional mud huts by the way, and were often obliged to carry our own food and fodder. The nights are cold and inhospitable in these mountain regions, and, after a march from dawn till dark, there was a comfort in the wood fire built on the floor that made one forget the dirt, the crowding humanity, and the smoke that stung our unaccustomed eyes.\n\nThe country is wonderfully beautiful: a succession of fir-clad uplands with great mountain ranges stretching beyond them, far below the Shweli, the Salwen, and Mekong, the Red River, the Hsia-kuan River, and the Yangpi that go whirling through their deep beds, one flanked by tropical jungle, the next by steep rocky gorges, whilst the Hsia-kuan can be seen for miles winding between grassy slopes, a white and foaming torrent descending 1,600 feet over rocks and boulders, in one day's march. The tropical sun is tempered by the mountain breezes, and the country was full of familiar northern flowers growing in vigorous profusion; the hillsides were bright with rhododendrons, red and white, with azaleas of many colours and long sprays of clematis, whilst roses and meadow-sweet grew in luxuriance in the sheltered valleys.\n\nThe country is unlike the east and south and north of China in that its mountains are covered with forests and its streams run clear over their rocky beds, whilst for days at a stretch there is little sign of human habitation, save in the well-cultivated and populous valleys. Such people as we met between the towns were, however, friendly and willingly offered their rough hospitality; their faces, their homes, and the unbound feet of their women mark the people as tribesmen with a slight mingling of Chinese blood. In the Menghua district and along the northern route, many of them are of pure Lolo race, though the handsome, clean-cut faces of the Szechuanese Lolos are seldom seen. All, however, who have the slightest tinge of Chinese blood claim to belong to the \"family of Hau,\" and there is little wonder that they cling to the traditions and name which represent, on the one hand, all power and wealth whilst treating with a relentless contempt the \"barbarian\" of the hills.\n\n### Opium\n\n#### Opium Centres\n\nIn dealing with the production of opium, this circuit may be divided into two distinct spheres, the first comprising the districts under the direct control of the Chinese territorial officials, the second consisting of the frontier regions under the rule of the Shan sawbwas, including the fertile, low-lying valleys, and the Kachin Hills, for which the sawbwas are nominally responsible. It was generally admitted that the Shan valleys were still under opium crops this season, and I therefore decided to send a Chinese assistant to get any possible information in this direction, whilst proceeding myself to the east of the circuit where the Taotai claimed that the preventive work had been successfully carried out. My route was chosen through the greatest producing areas of the district and timed just before the opium harvest.\n\n#### Destruction of Opium Crops in Chinese Sphere\n\nSpeaking generally, the work of prevention inaugurated by His Excellency Hsi Liang, governor-general at Yunnan-fu, has been carried out in the Chinese sphere with vigour and success. It was naturally impossible to penetrate into the remoter regions during the short period at my disposal, but, by careful enquiry and by watching the local markets for the drug, it has been possible to gain a fair estimate of the conditions of the present season. From the high passes of these districts, one can obtain a broad view of the surrounding country, and the unmistakable colour of the poppy crops may be detected from a considerable distance when they exist to any extent. In the course of my journey, however, I did not see a single field of poppy, and the only evidence of cultivation was in the straggling flowers, which were freely scattered over the fields and were evidently the few survivors after the crops had been uprooted by order of the officials.\n\nThe consulate writer reports similar conditions in the country lying between Yunchou and Menghua Ting. I have also reliable information from Mr. Coggin Brown, of the Geological Survey of India, and from other English sources, that, in the country to the north-west and north-east of Tali-fu (under the jurisdiction of the sub-prefects of Yunlung Chou and Pinchuan Chou), the main crops have been vigorously destroyed, though a little cultivation is reported in the remoter districts, which are difficult of access for the preventive officers.\n\n#### Local Riots\n\nDuring December and the early part of this year, the prefects and junior officers of the circuit were constantly under orders from the Viceroy, first to exhort the people to devote their land to other crops, then to destroy the crops if their earlier orders had been disobeyed. In many cases, the latter course was necessary.\n\n[2494 p-1] \n241 \nC \n37 \nL", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 423646, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "page_number": 250, "title": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "content_text": "10 \n\nIndian yarn; while it is evident that the poorer the people the smaller their taxable capacity.\n\n6. Difficulties and Prospects.-The difficulties in the way of opium reform in Szechuan have been mostly indicated when considering the preventive smoking measures, the position of the farmer, the question of taxation, and the effect which total prohibition will have on commercial and fiscal arrangements generally. Hence the existence of secret opium dens and other conditions entirely at variance with official proclamations and protestations. As things now stand, proclamations and regulations are of little solid account. The important point is whether the total prohibition of cultivation is, at the present time, a practicable possibility. There is room for very considerable doubt, and it is the irony of fate that complete suppression will fall most heavily on the three distant provinces of Szechuan, Kweichow, and Yunnan. The communications in all are bad and difficult, and the two latter are in their present undeveloped state poor provinces, each receiving a large annual contribution from Szechuan.\n\nFollowing in the footsteps of Hsi Liang, the last Viceroy of Yunnan, the Viceroy of Szechuan has sent forth a fiat ordering that no poppy shall be planted this autumn in the province under his jurisdiction. A viceregal proclamation, dated the 4th August, and posted in Chungking, threatens that the poppy will be trampled down, and that land-owner, tenant, and headman will all be fined and punished. It does not, however, carry a threat of confiscation of the land as does a proclamation recently issued by the Pa Hsien, which also asserts that guarantees have been furnished by the headmen of the various localities undertaking to prevent cultivation. Time alone will show to what extent these commands have been obeyed; but it may be mentioned that the Pa Hsien is shortly to vacate his post, and it is not of good augury that in Ch'uan Tung the progress made towards the restriction of cultivation the season before last was sacrificed in 1909, and that no effective steps have been taken to check indulgence in the drug.\n\nA somewhat more hopeful story is told by Mr. Smith's correspondence in his thirteenth opium report, and a considerable improvement is noted at Shih Ch'uan, Ngan Hsien, Paoning, Kuan Hsien, Tzu Chou, and Mien Chu. All these places, however, are in the silk district, while Tzu Chou has sugar and Kuan Hsien medicines. Important, perhaps, still is the fact that, with the exception of Paoning, they are all in the circuit of the Cheng-Mien-Lung-Mao taotai, which office is now associated with the taotaiship of industries, the incumbent being resident at Ch'engtu under the eye of the Viceroy. I am told also that none of these districts are considered to be large opium-producing centres, and the same is said of Suifu, Luchow, and Fushun. The two former report a largely reduced area under cultivation, and Fushun no poppy at all. It may be here permitted to allude to one of these anomalies which ever beset the path of enquiry into things Chinese, namely, that at Suifu, which is at the junction of the land and water route to and from Kweichow and Yunnan, most of the opium consumed comes from the former provinces. In fact, in Szechuan generally the well-to-do classes prefer the Yunnan drug, which, though more expensive, is superior in quality to the local article.\n\nA factor which cannot be neglected in considering the difficulties in the way of the opium reform movement in Szechuan is the will of the people. Mr. Phillips in his report on the subject for November and December last, instances the case of Yung Ch'uan Hsien, where a newly arrived magistrate showed himself over-zealous, and had to be removed to appease the populace. The Chinese up to a certain point, and within somewhat extended limits, are a patient race; but the degree to which they will tolerate the increased taxation rendered necessary by opium and other reforms is a cause of some anxiety. Leaving aside the addition of 3 cash a catty on salt, three new taxes have been introduced at Chungking since my arrival in April last. The first, a tax on pigs of 100 cash per head, was imposed for the benefit of the self-government assembly; the second, a charge on tea-shops of 10 cash per table per diem, was necessitated by the loss of revenue attendant upon the closing of the opium dens, and is levied for the purpose of the new police force; the third is the further levy of 200 cash on pigs for remittance to the Board of Finance. A fourth impost is that reported by my predecessor in his intelligence report for the December quarter 1908, and is in form somewhat similar to a graduated income tax, the proceeds to go to the self-government assembly. What do the people get in return for these imposts? Opium, their most valuable crop, is threatened with extinction, and for the rest, allowing that something has been done for the beggars, vagabonds, and needy poor, and in the matter of street-lighting, the city of Chungking is, as stated in my intelligence report to which reference has already been made, as dirty and malodorous as it was five years ago, while the new police have sadly degenerated.\n\n11 \n\nThe question as to what is to take the place of opium has already received some attention, and the ideas of various correspondents have been stated. Silk is the staple industry of Szechuan, and that it is capable of expansion would seem to be beyond doubt. Sir Alexander Hosie, in his report on the province (“China,” No. 5, 1904), which was written before the question of opium suppression had arisen, expressed the opinion that \"the present number of trees could be quadrupled without injury to the usual crops, and the silk production correspondingly increased.\" In another place, speaking of the methods of reeling, he says: \"It seems to me that foreign reeling plant might be introduced into the province with advantage to home engineering establishments and the natives engaged in the silk industry.\" Chinese authorities would appear not to be in ignorance of the possibility of further development, and some steps have been taken, in the shape of schools, for instructing the uncultured in the methods of sericulture. Private enterprise, too, has not been wanting. It would, however, be unwise to be optimistic. The radical change in the commercial and fiscal conditions of Szechuan which I have shown will result from the abolition of opium is a serious matter, and capitalists and markets are not found in a day. In so far as Ch'uan Tung is concerned, there is, as has been previously stated, every reason to think that, should the poppy not be allowed, its place in the near future must mainly be taken by the customary winter crops of pulse, cereals, and rape.\n\nIn the light of all that has been said, it will be easy to realise that the task which the Chinese authorities have set themselves to perform in Szechuan is one of exceeding difficulty. We know that the order has been given that no poppy shall be planted this autumn, and can only wait upon events. Personally I do not consider that total prohibition is possible, and the opinion of a Chinaman who has given some thought to the matter is that the cause of opium reform in this province rests very largely on the adequacy or otherwise of the measures now taken. He holds that total prohibition of cultivation is the only effective measure, and that, if the area under poppy is reduced 70 or 80 per cent. during the coming winter, and if there is no relaxation thereafter, success will be attained, but that if there is to be further vacillation and laxity on the part of the officials failure will threaten.\n\nIn conclusion I may state that, the report of impending total prohibition having reached the south, orders were recently received from Kuangtung, Kuangsi, and elsewhere for supplies of opium to the value of 700,000 taels or more.\n\nH.

Sir,\n\nSir A. Nicolson to Sir Edward Grey~(Received December 6.)\n\nSt. Petersburgh, November 26, 1909.\n\nI called on M. Kokowtsoff yesterday, as he had returned from the Far East a few days previously. After having given me an account of the assassination of Prince Ito, he was good enough to impart to me the general impressions which he had gathered from his visits to Harbin and Vladivostock. He said that during the war an artificial stimulus had been given to Harbin, which had been flooded with speculators and contractors of all kinds. Flour mills had been erected with feverish haste, and, as everyone expected that the war would continue for a year or a year and a-half longer than was the case, there arose a keen desire to make fortunes rapidly, with a complete disregard of prudential business considerations. The results were that on the conclusion of the war a collapse occurred and many were ruined. During the last year or two Harbin was recovering, and there were evident signs that before long it would enter on a path of comparative prosperity. He had been much struck with the energy and confidence which animated the Russian colony there, and he had been surprised to find a town so well equipped and so prosperous in a locality which but a few years ago had been an uninhabited district. The town had been created solely by Russian capital and Russian enterprise, and he was surprised and pained that foreign Powers, by what he could but term their unjust protests, were raising difficulties in the way of the development of the place.\n\nThe question of municipal administration was one which naturally preoccupied the Russian residents, who had complained bitterly to him that foreigners declined to pay rates and taxes, and threw all the burden on the Russians and Chinese, while benefiting from the conveniences which the municipality afforded to them. This was a question on which he would like to speak to me more fully on his return from Livadia, whither he is proceeding to-morrow to make his report to the Emperor.\n\nHe was highly satisfied with the railway administration, though he recognised that the railway rates were high. This was inevitable, as the up-keep of the line was an expensive undertaking in those distant regions.\n\nHe had been assured by all those whom he had seen both at Harbin and at Vladivostock that a great deterrent to more active development of commerce and industry was the want of confidence which was felt in the immediate future. He had been surprised to find universally a great anxiety as to the intentions of Japan, and there was a general feeling that Japan was making active preparations for a fresh war. Her railway construction and other measures were, in the opinion of all whom he had met, evident proofs that she was employing all her energies for a fresh campaign, and until they could rest assured that Japan had no hostile intentions merchants and others hesitated to embark capital in new enterprises. He had done his best to reassure his compatriots, but he doubted if he had met with much success.\n\nHe himself did not believe that Japan could be so foolish as to be meditating a fresh war with Russia. Even in the most favourable circumstances she could not gain anything by a war, and she had not the means to incur the huge expense which a fresh campaign would entail. Even supposing that she was able to capture Vladivostock, he did not see that this would be a gain commensurate with the risks and the sacrifices, as that port, though of great importance to Russia, would be of little advantage to Japan. The most successful war would never bring a rouble into the Japanese exchequer, as whatever might occur Russia would never pay an indemnity, and he could not conceive that Japan would wish to incur the undying enmity of an Empire of 150,000,000 inhabitants. He therefore excluded the idea of a war, and his explanation of all that Japan was doing was that she would entirely incorporate Corea within her dominions, and at a favourable opportunity annex the whole of Southern Manchuria. His prognostic might be wrong; he was not a diplomatist, and had no great intimacy with matters of foreign policy; but after mature reflection, the conclusion which he had reached seemed to him to be the most probable.\n\nPage 310\nPage 311", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 423734, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "page_number": 338, "title": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "content_text": "## (c.) Army and Navy\n\nGuns.--The new Krupp mountain guns were tried at the end of September in presence of the acting governor-general, who has invited me to attend the next trials.\n\nMilitary Hospital--The site for the new military hospital has been chosen outside the south gate, and building has commenced. Mr. Feng, the staff-surgeon of the Lu-chun, tells me that he will be placed in charge of this hospital as soon as it is ready.\n\nSatisfactory.\n\n## (d.) Relations with Chinese Officials\n\n## (e.) Movements of Chinese Officials\n\nCommissioner of Customs.--M. Grevedon, commissioner of customs at Mengtse, visited Yunnan-fu in September to arrange for the purchase of land for the use of the Imperial Maritime Customs. He secured two pieces, one in close proximity to the French railway station (outside the south gate), and the other adjoining our consular site outside the north gate. The deeds have been drawn up and the purchase-money handed over, but they have not yet been signed, as a difference of opinion arose at the last moment whether the land should be held in the name of the Inspector-General of Imperial Maritime Customs or the Shui-wu Ch'u. The matter has been referred to Peking.\n\nAdministrator of Foreign Affairs.--Shih Tseng, the provincial judge, has been appointed Administrator of Foreign Affairs for Yünnan. It is believed that he has also been recommended for the post of Chinese Minister at Paris by Hsi Liang, and he may yet get that post, which he desires greatly. His appointment as administrator is unfortunate for Yunnan, I think. In spite of his many amiable personal qualities, he is too nervous for the post and too ignorant of his work. He is withal a man of no strong character or unusual ability, and has on more than one occasion endeavoured to cover his mistakes by playing on his colleagues' ignorance of things European.\n\nPrefect Liu.--Liu-chun, formerly prefect at Yünnan-fu and afterwards acting taotai at Tengyueh, has returned from his investigation of the murder of Dr. Brunhueber and M. Schumitz. He is now confirmed in his appointment of Prefect of Yünnan-fu. The acting governor-general told me privately that he is not satisfied with the present taotai at Tengyueh, and was thinking of recommending Liu-chun for the post.\n\nTseng Taotai has been replaced by Kung-hsin-chan, who speaks English. I have not yet met Mr. Kung.\n\nThe French consul tells me that there is an understanding between the French Legation and the Chinese Government that the Administrator of Foreign Affairs shall always be a French-speaking official.\n\n## (f.) Movements of Foreign Officials\n\nFrench Minister.--M. de Margerie, the French Minister designate at Peking, arrived at Mengtse on the 27th September, and left after a stay of twenty-four hours. He did not come to Yunnan-fu.\n\n## (g.) Reforms\n\nMint.--I have revisited the mint, arsenal, and new prison. At the mint rupees bearing the inscriptions \"Yünnan province\" - \"silver coin,\" and nothing else, either in Chinese or English, are being struck. The coin is intended to deceive the Burman, and it is hoped that it will pass current as a rupee in Burmah.\n\nArsenal--Some new machinery has arrived for the arsenal, but the working superintendent, Mr. Wei, seems discouraged by the lack of official interest.\n\nNew Prison.--The industrial department of the new prison has now been organised. Chairs, tables, metal cups, common tools, and writing paper are being made under skilled supervision.\n\nGeneral--At the close of fifteen months' stay at Yunnan-fu, I venture to submit the opinion that the reform programme has little practical result to show at the present time. There is, however, a great deal to display on paper, and I do not doubt that Yunnan reforms bulk largely in the pigeon-holes at Peking. The high officials at Yunnan-fu, with whom I have had the opportunity of mixing freely, are a capable lot, taken as a whole. Their weakness appears to be in proposing too many and too ambitious schemes for which the province is not yet ready--but that way promotion lies. It is not so much the apathy of the Yunnanese or the poverty of the province which drags Yünnan down from the path of reform. The misfortune of Yunnan is the gentry of Yunnan-fu. Their anti-foreign attitude might be pardonably mistaken for patriotism, but the ignorance, conceit, and corruption of their leaders--Ch'en-yung-ch'ang, ex-Literary Chancellor of Kueichou, and Wang-hung-t'u, the millionaire parvenu, are perhaps unsurpassed throughout the rest of China.\n\nI regret to have to report that during my stay at Yunnan-fu I have not been able to see any certain signs of an enlightened public opinion or a genuine desire for reform on Western lines.\n\nE.

The Honourable Dr. Ho Kai, CMG., in his speech, went more than the truth when he declared that His Excellency had seen the Colony through the most trying times and had placed it once again on the high road to prosperity and success. It is proverbially difficult to please everybody, but Sir Frederick Lugard has overcome all obstacles, even those which at first sight appeared to be insuperable. Hongkong is not yet out of the financial straits into which, in common with other dependencies of our Empire, it has been driven by the time-serving Nonconformist-conscience-ridden vote-catching policy of a deplorable Government. Everything that could be effected by a clear intellect and resolute will was carried through by the Governor during, perhaps, the worst crisis in the fortunes of this outpost of Empire since first the Union Flag was planted at its shores. Misunderstanding, misrepresentation, and opposition from within and from without hampered and thwarted him at every step, until his consciousness of right and tenacity of purpose triumphed. Here he was blindly accused of being too willing to acquiesce in the extravagancies of the faddist régime at Westminster, and there he was calumniated in Parliament and accused of wilful disobedience to and evasion of the orders of the Imperial Government. It must have been discouraging uphill work for His Excellency, who depended, of course, upon the leading lights in the community for so much - for information first, even for advice, and always for help.\n\nAbout three years ago, when Sir Frederick Lugard fired his inaugural shot by getting the new rifle range at the Peak, and on being informed that he had scored a \"possible,\" he exclaimed: \"Is that true?\" This expression of doubt, disconcerting perhaps to those who arranged such functions, was not, as we remarked at the time, without its significance. A newly-appointed Governor arrives in a Colony where \"his work is cut out for him.\" He is too often apt to accept the views and adopt the policy of his entourage, especially of those who have served his predecessors, and have all details at their fingers' ends. Sometimes these subordinates are men whose insight, sympathy, and breadth of view, joined to their experience, render them of invaluable assistance to the new Chief. Sometimes the latter becomes the signing-machine and the mouthpiece of a fossilized bureaucracy. But not this time. Sir Frederick's exclamation, \"Is that true?\" was, as we rightly surmised, an indication of his mind. Disdaining to see with other men's eyes, he has always insisted on seeing for himself. He has neither disregarded nor worshipped precedent. He has deigned to consider the views of those around him, and has been guided by the path that seemed most wise.\n\nHe found Hongkong in desperate straits, with divergent views and serious disagreement. He had a long, lone furrow to plough. The firmness and high courage with which he carried the new taxation measures, the calm resolution and patient toil with which he set himself personally to investigate the angle of the enormous increase above the estimated expenditure on the Kowloon-Canton Railway, his diligence in carefully and personally working through the nearly fatal typhoon losses are still fresh in the public mind. So many causes for decreased revenue, so many new demands for expenditure. The disaster to the Colony's purse by the loss on opium (without any visible corresponding real advantage), and the decrease in the value of rateable properties caused partly by the enforcement of the Public Health Ordinances of his predecessors, the unsatisfactory state of trade, and the financial losses caused by an appallingly destructive typhoon, had to be met by novel expedients - indeed, experiments. But his singleness of purpose, and the rapidity with which he gathered the threads of the knotted and twisted net of Hongkong affairs, soon convinced all classes that \"his heart was in it.\" It became known that there was no hole-and-corner business with Sir Frederick, who must have everything on a straight basis. His care for the sufferers in the typhoon is especially to be seen in the Taikoo-tsui refuge, which it is hoped will be completed at an early date. His solicitude for the requirements of all is shown in every direction in the prosecution and improvement of public works, no less than in the reduction of expenses. The Tytam reservoir is a great and necessary work which he will not leave unfinished.\n\nThe Chinese and Europeans of the educated classes have been brought nearer by the wise and statesmanlike policy of Government House towards the Chinese under his regime. It is unnecessary here to dilate on the great advances that he has made, and how for the first time the Chinese of the highest class are at last coming into social contact with Europeans of the same social circle, and in the relations of the Government with that of Canton, the finest tact and determination not to disagree have marked His Excellency's administration.\n\nOne of his greatest and most enduring achievements is one noble in its purpose, vast in its ideals, and successful in its steps. How deeply and widely the University of Hongkong will influence China it is hardly daring to prophesy, but it will, without question, become the centre of Western education out here, and the meeting place of the civilised thought of East and West. While Brigadier-General Sir Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, K.C.M.G., C.B., D.S.O., goes home to get that rest to which three of probably the hardest years in his life (harder perhaps than lion-hunting in Nyassa-land or administering Uganda) have richly entitled him, he leaves behind in the stones and spirit of the Hongkong University an imperishable name.\n\n## The Governor's Departure \n\n### HIS ADMINISTRATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS \n\n(Special to the \"Hongkong Telegraph.\")\n\nWith the departure on leave to-morrow of Sir Frederick Lugard, the Colony loses temporarily an administrator whose term of service has been marked in more ways than one by the development of its interests and the furtherance of its progress. His Excellency assumed the reins of government on the 25th of July, 1907, in succession to Sir Matthew Nathan. There is a proneness on the part of Crown Colonists to take exception to military Governors, but certainly in the case of our last two Governors, nothing was there to be found fault with. Few Governors of the Colony made themselves more popular or did better work than Major Sir Matthew Nathan. Nor has Brigadier-General Sir Frederick Lugard failed to keep up with the high ideals set by his predecessor. His Excellency carries away with him the best wishes of this community combined with the hope that he will soon be amongst us again in full fettle and in continued good health.\n\nDuring His Excellency's administration, many very important movements connected with Hongkong's welfare have been projected or carried out. When he arrived in the Colony nearly three years ago, it was suffering severely from trade depression and in a financial sense appeared to be verging on bankruptcy.\n\n### ON BANKRUPTCY \n\nThe first consideration, therefore, which our new Governor had to face was the ways and means for the raising of funds. This all-important problem was made more difficult of solution because of the fact that just about that time the Liberal Government had sent out its fiat that the opium traffic had to come to an end. This, of course, meant a big reduction of revenue, for the opium trade had for years represented one of the most productive of Hongkong's feeders of the public purse. Though the stoppage of the opium imports was to be gradual, its effect was immediately felt by the Colonial Treasury, and His Excellency took up the prudent policy of approaching the Colonial Office and demanding that Hongkong should receive compensation for the loss of trade revenue caused by the restrictions put upon her by the Home Government. His representations proved to be so powerful and to the point that guarantees were given of an imperial grant partially to cover the deficit which their opium decree had served to create.\n\nAs it was very happily put in the address presented yesterday by the Chinese Community: \"Since Your Excellency came to give peace in this state, all the business of administration has been carried on by you with success, but you have regarded the development of education and the encouragement of talent as your most important duty, and all your energies and faculties have been devoted to its establishment of a University; now the foundation stone has been duly laid and the magnificent project is on the way to realisation. We feel confident that in the future the result of the education given in the University will fulfil all expectation.\"\n\nCertainly, the greatest project with which Sir Frederick Lugard's name will remain associated for all time is the history of Hongkong - the University scheme. From the very day that he arrived in the Colony, His Excellency lost no opportunity of impressing upon the people that the establishment of a University was one of the most crying needs in our midst. Whilst not belittling by any manner of means the excellence of existing scholastic institutions, he was of the sound and definite opinion that Hongkong required a University of her own. So forcible did his arguments prove that they penetrated to the hearts of all, and now, through the generous liberality of Sir Hormusjee Mody and the Chinese communities of Hongkong and Canton, as well as that of local merchants, we have witnessed the materialisation of Sir Frederick's scheme, which not very far distant date was generally regarded as visionary and impracticable.\n\nSir Frederick Lugard has enjoyed the pleasure of seeing his hopes fulfilled and of himself laying the foundation stone of Hongkong University. It may be that he will yet be occupying the Governorship of the Colony when the time comes for it to be opened, and such a consummation would be entirely fitting and gratifying to all concerned. At the presentation of the Chinese address yesterday, Hon. Dr. Ho Kai expressed the hope that during his sojourn in England, Sir Frederick would be able to obtain still further donations towards the University scheme and its endowment, and His Excellency assured his hearers, with characteristic terseness, that he would do his best, though pointing out at the same time that the matter is one that primarily affects us out here.\n\nBut it is not only in the case of the University that His Excellency has left his distinctive work upon our Colonial administration. To the matter of the Canton-Kowloon Railway, and especially of the British section, he has shown intense interest and endeavour to speed on the work and keep down expenses, which unfortunately have amounted to so much more than the estimates. His Excellency has kept himself in constant touch with the progress of the line and has made many journeys along the track in order to see for himself how things were proceeding. His last visit was made only a few days ago, on which occasion he was accompanied by the principal Government officials. The party traversed the whole route to the boundary by rail, with the exception of No. 4 bridge, which had to be crossed on foot. So that Sir Frederick will be able to report favourably, when he reaches home, upon the constructional progress if not upon the stated costs.\n\nOne could dilate almost endlessly upon the many public measures that have been effected under the aegis of Sir F. Lugard. Space permits of dealing with only a few of the more important. But this article would be incomplete without reference to the financial policy initiated by His Excellency when the funds of the Colonial Exchequer had become depleted and the revenue was still falling. Some bold step was obviously necessary to make ends meet.\n\nPage 383", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 425406, "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": "CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5]", "page_number": 431, "title": "CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5]", "content_text": "# \n\n! \n\n| 1 \n\nI am acting for 4 Elegrafite. \nHe approves generally that the draft convention is satisfactory, \nbut his particular comments are as follows. \n\nIn & hungard, he considers it undesirable that the rights of the Imp. \n\"er.

If import is prohibited new distilleries will spring up.\n\nThe distilleries at Sheung Shui and Sha Tau Kok now complain of the amount imported but you will understand that without a chroff and a receipt book on all the path leading into the Territory it is impossible to collect fees. I therefore recommend that the import of Chinese wines and spirits into the Territory be entirely prohibited unless notice has been previously given and the duty paid. I put in this proviso because total prohibition may be illegal.\n\nB. has been proposed to me by Tang Wal Tong but though it would in some ways be a convenience I do not recommend the formation of a new farm.

I have never been able to understand why a man who has five stills like the Sun Hing Loong pays no more than a shop which has only one. The fee is $25 and it does not seem to matter how many stills are employed. One of the objects of the proposed Tong at Un Long is that the Tong will have some twenty stills in operation but will still pay $25 only.

There is no objection to the site proposed, provided a proper path be opened from the main road up to the nearest point to the site. The path must be wide enough to admit of the passage of a hearse.\n\n2. We wish to have the site for a chapel and crematorium, the area of which would be 60 feet by 120 feet, levelled at the expense of the Colonial Government, while the cost of the erection of the buildings will, of course, be borne by the Japanese Community.\n\n3. We hope also the Government will give the Japanese Community some extra grounds immediately adjoining the site mentioned above, for the purpose of laying out gardens round the buildings, as we are anxious to make the whole as artistic in appearance as possible.\n\n4. We also desire that the Colonial Government will bear the cost of the erection of a suitable boundary fence round the whole area.\n\nIn conclusion, I beg to point out that we are not unaware that the preparation of the site will involve the Government in some expense, but in this connection, I have to state that the death rate among the Japanese community reaches an average of 25 per annum, and that it would be more economical...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-368 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 426730, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-368 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [8-9]", "page_number": 510, "title": "CO129-368 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [8-9]", "content_text": "Lanes of \n\nADHATNAK or \n\nher Larsehbar mic I ON U Chiron or el e \n\nmontovan elle y botuasi movi \n\nyeh batin kresne mand nad wod to nå .unst et maken atrodas \n\nmi \n\nBig Shened atribes\", IS \n\nat when other ths tongong bag bestunnon good and w \n\nDet er!! \n\nK \n\nstedto ben am Totes le \n\nHell de 09.4 90 \n\na eolas M ads of perioo \n\naðnale alderot & \n\nI nalog lovit in. \n\npr \n\nwhale me bopset, bro Monu Qui \n\nanovs torta resoc naleau“. \n\nPALIT GEGGng 79:20 on not ou tudo. \n\ned Jibu yale) Juni wild kon has \n\nOROS COM NA AUCT \n\nHeart pu” .hastullin end fih brit es to net on ong \n\nIs Brewtot code and charira. on enuh. \n\nd.

The revised lists were drawn up early in May, in which month they were sent to the polling stations, and the elections of the delegates commenced. For each member ten delegates were elected, making 1,030 for the province. The polling was not heavy, probably not over 50 per cent. of the voting list, and supplementary elections were necessary in many cases.\n\nSecond Election of Members.-The second elections for the provincial assembly were held on the 27th and 29th June, all the delegates voting among themselves for the selection of one out of every ten of their number. The successful were duly declared elected members. Prominent notables headed the list everywhere. The senior member for Chinan-fu is the chairman of the Grand Chamber of Commerce and formerly president of the local Tien-tsin-Pukow Railway Bureau.\n\nPresident, Vice-Presidents, and Standing Committee.-The members assembled in Chinan-fu in the course of August, and proceeded to elect a president and two vice-presidents, and a standing committee of twenty members. The remaining members returned to their constituencies, there to start deliberative councils for the purpose of getting into touch with local public opinion. A voluminous programme had already been drawn up of subjects for discussion in the assembly, embracing every conceivable topic of public interest, including foreign relations. This last was divided into nine sections--\n\n1. The leased territories.\n\n2. The foreign settlements.\n\n3. Foreign missions.\n\n4. Foreign industrial undertakings in the interior.\n\n5. Extra-territoriality.\n\n6. Railways.\n\n7. Mines.\n\n8. Sea fisheries.\n\n9. Articles of foreign manufacture in the interior.\n\nOpening Ceremony on the 14th October.--The formal opening of the assembly took place, according to the rules of the 24th July, 1908, on the 1st day of the 9th moon (14th October), and was an impressive function. In addition to the governor and members, the chief provincial officials were all present, and special seats were reserved for metropolitan officials, foreigners, and officials from other provinces. Accommodation was also provided for the press and the public, and it is estimated that about 1,000 persons were present.\n\nThe president opened the proceedings by asking the governor to address the meeting. His Excellency read a formal speech, in which he dwelt on the fact that the desire of the court to associate the people with the government of the country had at last been carried out, and the president followed by reading a formal reply of thanks on behalf of the members. The governor then made a second address, which has been widely published, and merits quotation in full.\n\nNot the least interesting feature of it is the outspoken commendation of Yuan Shih-k'ai's action during the Boxer outbreak, and it is difficult to believe that a governor whose touch with the central Government is so close would venture to express his views so openly on such an occasion without some knowledge that they were seasonable.\n\nGovernor's Speech. On the occasion of the opening of this assembly to-day there are two points to which I should like to direct your attention. The first is that Members in no case should the difficulties of any question be lightly underrated. elected for the first time must needs lack experience, and may act rashly without due consideration of the real facts of a case, and like lucky drawers in a lottery, rush into foolish courses which may overstep legal bounds. Such persons, though they appear to be merely over-enthusiastic, are really rash by nature, and do far more harm than good--let me warn you against them.\n\nMy second point is that there should be no fear of adverse criticism. In the conduct of affairs, once a definite policy has been determined on as essential--and without decision no achievement is possible--it should be strenuously adhered to in spite of all difficulties and faithfully pursued until the desired aim is reached, regardless of any adverse criticism that may be encountered meanwhile.\n\n\"Let me quote examples from among the eminent officials who have served the Empire since it recovered from the troublous times of the Great Rebellion--the glorious achievements of the Marquis Tseng Kuo-fan are known to young and old throughout the land, yet when he was Viceroy of Chihli he incurred such adverse criticism from the people of that province on account of his action in the Tien-tsin Missionary Riot case that he could not continue in office there, and was transferred to the Liangkiang province; the Marquis's own statements at the time showing the intensity of the feeling against him when he said, 'I have offended both my own conscience and public opinion.'\n\nAgain, take the late Li Hung-chang, whose diplomatic skill may be said to have been almost unrivalled. He was stigmatised as servile to foreigners for advocating peace in the China-Japan war, and later public censure of him increased as foreign affairs multiplied; but it is only after death that the true verdict on a man is pronounced, and the name of Li Hung-chang, though censured during his lifetime, is now enshrined in the national history with a lustre that a myriad ages will not dim.\n\nOr, again, look at Yuan Shih-k'ai, when he was governor of Shantung, at the time of the outbreak of the Boxer rebellion. At that period high officials both at the capital and in the province, believing in the Boxers, were following their lead, and Yuan alone regarded them as a heretic sect, and took measures against them. The ignorant people who also believed in the Boxers abused Yuan, but before long the Boxers were overthrown and the province of Shantung, thanks to his energy alone, was preserved in peace; this was a benefit experienced by yourselves as inhabitants of this province who can thus confirm my words.\n\n\"The public are capable of appreciating the benefits of an accomplished fact, but not of planning for its accomplishment. Men of ability do not need to be guided merely by public approval in their conduct of affairs; it is only necessary for them to consider the final results of action, and if these are good the adverse comment endured for a time is of no consequence.\n\nJust as it is necessary to remove the skin of a fruit in order to taste its sweetness, so in dealing with affairs it is necessary to weigh carefully the pros and cons of any measure, and in order to do this it is essential that there should be calm and dispassionate investigation.\n\nThe assembly, in discussing any given subject, should first carefully examine all the surrounding circumstances and not act in any rash or hasty manner, in order that the true bearings of the matter may be discovered and action taken without subsequent hindrance.\n\nDivergence of views there must be, but difference of opinion should be carefully distinguished from obstinacy. Obstinacy is the greatest obstacle to all progress, and I would earnestly warn you against it.\"\n\nPresident's Address.-The president then delivered an address in which he traced the development of parliamentary institutions in western countries from the earliest times down to the present day, dwelt on their recent extension to Japan, and concluded by pointing out that China had at last taken the first step on the path of constitutional reform.\n\nThe rules of procedure and other regulations of the assembly have since been published. They are minute and detailed, but present no original features, being closely modelled on those of western countries. Every subject for debate has to pass three readings, and is to be discussed clause by clause, each individual motion or amendment being voted on separately. Provision is also made for special committees to which questions may be referred from the full assembly.\n\nProgramme of Government Business.--The governor has placed a variety of questions before the assembly for discussion, and it is evident that he intends to occupy their attention fully by matters of official suggestion.

In order to ascertain the facts of this raid and the actual conditions prevailing in this inaccessible territory I was instructed by His Majesty's Minister to proceed to Tengkeng on a tour of enquiry, and with this object I left my post at Tengyueh on the 7th April, 1910, accompanied by an escort of ten soldiers from the regular Chinese army which was considered necessary for my safety by the Taotai, as the route ran through the ill-reputed country of the Lisu tribesmen. It may be presumed that the Taotai had reported to the Viceroy at Yünnan-fu the representations which had been made through me regarding the raid, and his refusal to consider the request of the Government of Burmah for the punishment of Tengkeng and the payment of compensation to the villages; in notifying my departure he ventured the suggestion that, although my journey might have been planned merely for purposes of mahseer fishing, he had shrewd suspicions of ulterior motives, as the Salween Valley could scarcely be regarded as a pleasure resort at this season of the year.\n\nJourney through Mingkuang.-On leaving Tengyueh a series of long and narrow valleys, divided by steep and well-defined ranges, and watered by branches of the Taping and Shweli Rivers, run in a due northerly direction till they are blocked at their ends by the range, which strikes east from Manung Pum till it joins the main Irrawady-Salween Divide, and which itself forms the watershed between the N'Maikha and Shweli systems. After reaching Kutung Kai I advanced along the route through the Mingkuang Valley, which rises in a chain of cultivated and well-watered \"patzu\" or plains of gradually increasing altitude till it meets the cross range at its northern extremity. The consulate writer, who accompanied Mr. Litton in 1905, did not cease to exclaim at the progress made by the Chinese settlers since his previous journey; flourishing markets have sprung up along the route, every available acre is under cultivation, and there remain but a few miles to the extreme north where the original Lisu population retain possession of the land, and where grazing grounds are still available for the wandering herds of cattle, sheep, and ponies. The remaining four valleys to the north of Tengyueh are thickly populated and cultivated to the limit of the frontier line, but, although Mingkuang is advancing more slowly in agricultural development, it is undoubtedly the richest of the five belts, and the recent journeys of Mr. Coggin Brown of the Geological Survey of India prove that it is an intensely mineralised area, rich deposits of gold, silver, iron, and copper lying in close proximity to the frontier range, and in many places these are now being worked with Chinese labour and native methods. At the head of this valley one passes from the zone of bare, treeless hills and intense cultivation to a country in which the masses of limestone cliff rise from the pines and evergreens of forest-clad slopes, the foaming torrent of the Mingkuang stream winds a white course through the bracken, the calls of pheasant, sambur, and barking deer break the silence of the morning, and rhododendrons of rich red and white, briar roses, and pyrus japonica, gleam out with a wonderful brilliancy of colour from the grey mists that herald the coming rains, whilst in the forest clearings the ground is carpeted with a purple glow of dainty primulas and ground orchids, raising their heads above the tawny masses of last year's bracken. Even the Chinese were moved to wonder at the beauty of the land, and they twined garlands of flowers in the bridles and packs of the mules, or round the muzzles of their Mauser rifles, which have fallen sadly from their high estate since they were issued new and bright in the year of our Lord 1871.\n\nTa Chu Pa. The fifth day's march brought us to the end of the valley at Ta Chu Pa, where a scattered population of eighty Lisu families eke out a scanty subsistence, and five strongly stockaded Chinese houses form the head-quarters of a thriving trade in coffin planks, which are brought from the forests beyond the range. Here we halted for a day in the hope of getting some information regarding the recent raid, and Hsü Linhsiang, one of the Chinese timber merchants, informed me that he was in part responsible for the petition for assistance, reported in my despatch of the 24th February, but that he could add nothing to his original information as the Tengkeng Sawbwa had threatened to behead him, and that he was therefore banished from his home in the N'Maikha Valley. On the following day the son of the Pienma headman arrived at Ta Chu Pa, and sent a message that spies of Tongkeng and the Pao-shan magistrate were in the village, and had threatened his life if he had any dealings with me; during the night the Chinaman Hsü was kidnapped by these men, and hurried away to Yungchang-fu, and I realised that, as the Chinese had taken such precautions to block my enquiries in Ta Chu Pa, it would be of little use to proceed to Tengkeng. I decided therefore that my only hope of ascertaining the true facts of the case would be to make a forced march across the passes to Pienma, and see for myself what had actually happened. It appeared unwise to proceed into the unadministered territory with a Chinese escort, and in view of the fact that the expedition of 1905 had lost thirty mules on the first day's march, the road was proved impossible for a heavily equipped party. The escort was therefore dispatched in charge of all heavy baggage by the road running through Chinese territory to Tengkeng, and I managed to engage a number of Lisu porters to carry sufficient kit for a week for myself and my personal servants; there was little enthusiasm for the journey, and it was difficult to decide who felt the more aggrieved, the escort who were \"being deserted,\" and left to face the terrors of the road alone, or the men who were to penetrate the \"inner land,\" relying on the protection of a shot-gun, and an assortment of various medicines, the latter of which I have found an unfailing passport to the affections of the frontier tribesmen, the application of salts and embrocations ensuring perennial mental gratification even if their virtues were somewhat misapplied for purposes of physical relief.\n\n3\n\nJourney to Pienma.-On the seventh day we commenced the ascent of the range, the track lying through miles of tangled bamboo brake and dense forest jungle, through which an advance guard of Lashi Kachins hewed a way with their dhas, whilst the ponies struggled and slipped on the steep mountain paths, scrambling over the trunks of great fallen trees, and wading through the rocky torrents. This track is regularly used for a few months of the year by Lisu and Lashi porters, carrying coffin planks from Kangfang down to Mingkuang, but their path was scarcely discernible in the jungle, and the heavy rains which had fallen for several weeks had made of the low-lying portions a hopeless morass. After a long climb we reached the Pass of Ten Shui-ling, and here I was somewhat surprised to find that the tribesmen had a very clear and definite idea of the principle of the frontier. Pointing to the two streams which trickled in opposite directions down the mountain sides they explained that the parting formed the border line between Great Britain and China, and gave me such an insight into the practical meaning of a Divide, as would have proved a liberal education to those distinguished officers of the Chinese Government who in 1904 committed themselves to the statement that in this district the watershed lay at the foot of the mountains. Then with a certain courtesy that went to the heart of the situation, the Lisus handed me over to the Lashis as their guest, and we continued our journey down into the valley of the Ngawchang Kha (known by the Chinese as the Hsiao Chiang). On arrival at the first camp the weather broke, and for five days and nights the rain poured down in ceaseless torrents. The little single-fly tents could not resist the storm, clothes and bedding were sodden, the weight of the porters' loads was greatly increased, and the poor fellows spent their nights in the open, with no protection from the wet ground, or from the beating rain, save a layer of palm fibre. After seeing the hard lives that these tribesmen lead, and the triumph of the elements in their mountain homes, one wonders little at the animism forming the basis of all their faith, or at the fact that the rain and thunder, the lightning, the wind, the forest, and the mountains are all held by demons of malice, whose wrath can only be appeased by offerings and sacrifice. On one day we were obliged to march from dawn till dark without a halt for rest or food, as we found no clearing in the jungle, and the country was reported by the natives to be full of poisonous herbs which the ponies would eat if they halted, with fatal results, and it was therefore with intense relief that we at last saw the Pienma villages on a distant hillside, and felt that the worst of the journey was past. For one brief moment a glimpse of a magnificent snowy range to the north-west marked the division of the Lashi country from that of the Wild Marus, and shortly afterwards we were met by a number of headmen and villagers from Pienma (Hpimaw), who had come out in spite of the storm to offer a welcome.\n\nThe headmen had heard of my approach and evidently believed that Litton had come back, for they said they had waited five years for my return, and there was evident disappointment when they found that there was no army of occupation at my back.

It was also felt that the development of that territory would be of great importance to China, as her prosperity depends to a great extent upon the development of her exports.\n\nThe committee of the China Association has no definite information as to the precise nature of the contract for this railway, though it is generally understood that it was to be financed by an American syndicate, that China proposes to build the line herself, and that the construction was to be entrusted to a British firm of contractors, who will purchase a considerable proportion of the materials in this country.\n\nBut, apart from the particular interests involved, what the China Association desire is that the obstacles which have supervened, and which have apparently blocked the project for the time being, should be removed, and that China should be left free to develop her railways in her own way.\n\nThe objections to this particular railway have come from Russia and Japan, both of whom claim separate but similar rights to intervention or participation, but the extent and nature of such claims, so far as the association is aware, are still vague and undefined.\n\nThe association has also noted a statement in the \"Times\" and other newspapers to the effect that His Majesty's Minister at Peking \"had called the attention of the Chinese Government to the necessity of consulting the Russian and Japanese Governments before concluding arrangements for the construction of the Chinchow-Aigun Railway.\"\n\nThe committee assume, of course, that His Majesty's Government had good and sufficient reason for tendering this advice to China, if, in fact, it was so tendered, but the result unfortunately has been to make an impression among a large number of members of the association that legitimate British interests are being sacrificed to the susceptibilities of these two Powers, and that the settled policy of \"the open door\" has not been maintained.\n\nThe committee fully admit that Russia and Japan may reasonably claim to have some right to be consulted as to railway development in Manchuria, but, on the other hand, it is contended that neither of them can, by merely putting forward vague claims, bar the path of progress indefinitely.\n\nThe committee therefore respectfully urge that the time has come for His Majesty's Government to obtain from the Russian and Japanese Governments definite information as to what is the nature of their objection to the construction of this railway, or what rights of participation they claim. The objection cannot be based on strategic grounds, because, by article 7 of the Treaty of Portsmouth, both Powers bound themselves to exploit their respective railways in Manchuria for commercial and industrial purposes, and not for strategic purposes.\n\nIf Russia alleges the Scott-Mouravieff Convention of 1898, it will not be overlooked that that convention was an agreement between England and Russia, by which China is in no way bound; that we are not seeking for a railway concession within what was then the Russian sphere, but merely claiming that China should be allowed to develop\n\n[2813 -1]\n\nPage 17\n\n[End of Page]\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government\n\n16\n\n[B]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429135, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 476, "title": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "2\n\nthese various chiefs, but, in view of the difficulty of obtaining supplies for any length of time, I am of opinion that Tengkeng could scarcely bring more than 500 men, whilst 500 might be raised by the combined forces of Mingkuang, Tien-tang, and Tatang. Such forces would be poorly armed and badly organised, and they would have little eagerness for action.\n\n3. Under the third head the nearest troops to the frontier would be 200 men of the 11th Ying, who are stationed at Kuyung Kai. These men all carry Mauser magazine rifles (nine cartridges), which are in good order, and they are the best of the Tengyuch brigade. Their commandant, Major Ma, is an intelligent Mahommedan, and his men show better discipline and better spirit than is usual with the Chinese forces. The ying includes a number of Kachins (Chashans) from Sansi, who speak a dialect almost identical with that of the Pienma Lashis. The 4th and 5th Ying are stationed at Tengyuch, and comprise together about 500 men, chiefly armed with single-loading Mausers, which are antiquated and in poor condition. They are led by Chinese officers of the old school, and have had no Japanese training, though they show a marked improvement on the troops of a few years ago both in physique and discipline. I had an opportunity a few days ago of witnessing their target practice, and they showed an invariable tendency to shoot low, though I have seen men of the 11th Ying showing excellent marksmanship. Colonel Chiang, one of the officers stationed at Tengyuch, is a man of undoubted energy and courage, reputed a tribesman by birth, and showing a forceful personality which is entirely un-Chinese.\n\n4. There are 1,500 troops at Talifu, and I have information that many of their officers are in reality Japanese, though they speak Chinese fluently, and the greatest secrecy is observed in regard to their nationality. They would be able to reach Hpimaw through Yun-lung Chou, crossing the Mekong by the Feilung Bridge and the Salween by the ferry below Tengkeng. It is probable that they could reach Hpimaw in about the same time as troops from Myitkyina, but I have been unable to gather any reliable information as to their transport and commissariat. Large numbers of mules are, however, constantly available at Talifu, the roads are fair, and local supplies would be obtainable until they crossed the watershed. A detailed account of these troops is given in my despatch of the 3rd March last (printed report, p. 18).\n\nI am of opinion that the Chinese would be unlikely to move up regular troops either under heads (3) or (4) to the unadministered territory, and think that the only probable resistance would come from the Lisu irregulars reported under head (2).\n\nLines of Advance.\n\nThere are eight possible lines of advance for the Chinese into the unadministered territory. From west to east they are as follows:--\n\n1. From Ku-yung Kai by San Cha-ho, across the watershed near Manung Pum, and into the Shingaw Valley,\n\n2. From Tan-tsa, across the Lang Ya Pass, into the Tummaw Valley.\n\n3. From the Tien-tang Valley by Malipa, across the Pan-wa Pass, to Chang Yin-kou on the Chipway River. Malipa is 8 miles to the south and Chang Yin-kou 6 miles to the north of the pass. This is probably the easiest route from China, Tien-tang being cultivated up to the head of the valley.\n\n4. Along the Mingkuang Valley, striking off at Ta-chai, then up the Cha Shan Ho to Ta Ya-kou Pass-12 miles from Ta-chai. This leads to Hparé, which is 9 miles beyond the pass. This is also a comparatively easy track, and, with No. 3, would probably be open for lightly-laden mules throughout the dry season. Supplies would be abundant right up to the watershed. Lisu porters are generally available throughout this district, and can carry from 60 to 70 lbs. in the baskets on their backs. They are most satisfactory in this capacity, uncomplaining in spite of hard marches and heavy weather, requiring no bedding, as fast as mules, and unfailingly cheerful.\n\n5. Also from Mingkuang. About 5 miles north of Ta-chai, the Hsiao-tang Ho Valley leads off from the main valley to the north-west; the track follows the river and crosses the pass at 10 miles from the Mingkuang Valley, then leads down to Lagwé (Tzu-chu), which is 12 miles to the north of the pass.\n\n6. From Mingkuang, at Ta-chu-pa, across Fen Shui Ling Pass, to Hpimaw, 28 miles. This is the track I followed, but it is regarded as the most difficult, and mules should not be taken unless weather conditions are most favourable; they would then need to be very lightly laden, and an advance guard would be necessary to clear the track. Three days' journey, the second very hard, as animals cannot stop all day, owing to the poisonous herbs in the jungle.\n\n7. From the Salween Valley, at Tengkeng, westwards up the Ku-tan Ho Valley, across the pass to Hpimaw; one and a-half days' journey. Difficult track, but open for lightly-laden mules in favourable weather conditions; path very steep and narrow, and difficult streams to cross. The Tengkeng levies would come from this direction, also any troops from Talifu or Yungchang.\n\n8. From the Salween, at Chengka (latitude 26° 15'), by Pai-pa, into the north of territory. This route is little known, and is not likely to be used.\n\nOf the above eight routes, 3, 4, and 7 are those which would in all probability be chosen in the event of any expeditions from the Chinese side. They could all be watched without difficulty, and the main party in the unadministered territory could be kept constantly in touch with news from the passes. This could be arranged from the Burmah side of the watershed more easily than from Tengyueh, as it would be difficult to obtain reliable men among the Chinese, whereas the Kachins proved themselves during my recent visit to be both eager and quick at gathering and carrying news. I could arrange for trustworthy information from Talifu and Tengyueh in regard to movements of troops, and possibly also from Ku-yung Kai, but it would be preferable, whenever possible, to use men for intelligence work whose homes are in Burmah, and who would be able to get through to Sima or Sadon in the event of any difficulty with the Tengyueh-Bhamo telegraph line.\n\nARCHIBALD ROSE,\n\nHis Majesty's Acting Consul.\n\nTengyueh, May 24, 1910.\n\n473", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429163, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 504, "title": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "I am sources. It is clear that the fields cannot lie fallow for ever, as there is a steady increase of population by immigration from the crowded districts on the borders, and it is clear also that the people must be clothed, though all attempts to produce cotton have in the past resulted in failure. The officials and people have as yet advanced little beyond the stage of bandying the question, \"What is to be done?\" A few of the more vigorous leaders have been busily engaged in planting mulberry trees and breeding silk-worms, and I have been able to send to the Indian markets samples of the first year's produce, which give hope of some success. I am also obtaining from India some seed of the shrub cotton Bombax malabaricum L which may thrive at this altitude and would help to stimulate local industry and provide employment for the empty fields. In the Kachin hills and the tribal country generally, however, the abolition of the crop will cause a more serious loss than even in the Chinese zone, for the tribesmen are generally unable to produce on their steep mountain-sides sufficient crops of cereals or of hemp to provide them with the barest necessaries of life, and at present no remedy has been foreseen for this part of the district.\n\nDuring my frontier tour I crossed at one point a route which had been followed by the taotai on his annual tour of border inspection. After the misfortunes of the sub-prefect last year he had taken the precaution to travel with a large armed escort, and he had boldly attacked the opium farmers along his route. For a day's march we had followed an unusually good track, and it was therefore with some surprise that we found the way suddenly barred, the road cut away in front, and the sheer precipice barring further progress. We were obliged therefore to turn off on to another road, and by the camp fire at night the reason of the obstacle was explained by one of the angry tribesmen. It appeared that the villagers along the road had worked for ten days and had made the excellent track which we had crossed. Unmoved by this service the taotai had turned out his escort, and at the bayonet's point the farmers had been made to uproot their poppy crop, which was then a span high. The old man who told the tale burst into tears as he recounted the loss.\n\n\"It is all that we have, this opium, we eat it and drink it, it makes our clothes and builds our houses; no other crop will grow, no rice, no millet, no hemp; for our opium crop we should have had silver for our food and our clothes, and now we are left to a barren and hungry year.\" But the Kachin is a man of spirit: the men of the next village had continued the road through their country, but the news spreads fast, and, when the taotai arrived at the point where the two districts met, the narrow path vanished over the precipice, and there was neither explanation nor expedient, save to take another road as we had done. He retired into the valleys below, leaving one tract of poppy at least unmolested, nor was he able to punish those who had defied him, and it is unlikely that his action has increased the prestige of Chinese officialdom in that outpost of empire.\n\nThere is one other point at which the loss of the poppy crop cuts deeply at the institutions of the tribesmen. Many of the sawbwas and minor chiefs are in the habit of collecting the greater part, or even the whole, of their revenues from their people by means of opium; each house contributing a given quantity of the drug, which can be readily transported and converted by the over-lord. It can be imagined, therefore, with what consternation the chiefs have watched the vigorous measures of their intending Chinese officers, and there is no doubt that they will stand by their people in any effort to conceal the cultivation or to encourage the smuggling traffic to those centres which still contrive a flourishing though illicit trade.\n\nIn the meanwhile, a small proportion of the more level lands have been put under winter crops of wheat, beans, peas, or maize, and a considerable number of the farmers have sought employment, during the dry season when their rice-fields need no attention, by taking service on the road works in the Shan States and in Burma, or in the silver and lead mines of Baudwin, and in the ruby mines or other centres of industry beyond the border. There seems, indeed a probability that the most pressing needs of the farmers will be met during the opium crisis, not by the introduction of some new crop, the development of which will need time and capital, but by an influx of money from British territory, brought into the province by the migration of labour during the winter season from the overcrowded plains of Yunnan to the mining and industrial centres of Burma—a consummation which is certainly to be desired for the mutual advantage of the two countries.\n\nProducing Centres.\n\nSpeaking generally, the purely Chinese zone of Western Yunnan has produced little opium during the past season, and the poppy has been entirely absent from the level and accessible areas; the only instances of cultivation which have been reported by reliable witnesses are in the remote regions of the Irrawaddy-Salween divide and in the hills between the Chinese and tribal zones, districts which are inhabited by lawless Chinese, many of them fugitives from justice. The fact that a harvest has been reaped from a few fields actually adjoining one of the main roads between Tengyueh and Yungchang, however, is evidence that the Chinese contention that the poppy has entirely disappeared is not strictly correct. A small amount of the drug has also been gathered in the Chinese district of Lungling, though the district official has since been removed, nominally as a punishment for his laxity in this respect. In the districts of Shunning-fu, Menghua Ting, Talifu, and Likiang-fu the prohibition measures were strictly enforced. Pu-ehr-fu and Ssumao Ting, in the south-west, were also well controlled.\n\nIn the tribal zone it is not possible to give such an encouraging account. In the hills surrounding the Shan States of Nantien, Changta, Kangai, Lungchuan, Mengmao, Ta Meng-tung, and Hsiao Meng-tung and in the territories of the Kachins, Lahu, and Wa there has been extensive cultivation, though there is no doubt of the marked decrease in the acreage since the inauguration of the measures of prohibition.\n\nEstimates of Acreage and Amount of Opium Produced.\n\nIt is difficult to estimate the exact acreage under poppy cultivation in Western Yunnan, as the mou or other generally recognised land measure is unknown in the district, and both rice and poppy lands are calculated on the basis of the \"measure of seed\" required to secure a full crop. After careful enquiry, however, I think that 50 ounces (Chinese) of opium may be expected as an average return from a mou of land in the hilly districts. From my own observation, from information gathered from various reliable sources, and from a strict watch on the markets and prices, I estimate the yield of the past season for the entire district (including the tribal territory) at 5,000 piculs, and on the above average this would account for 27,000 acres (English) under the poppy crop, figures which appear to me to give a very fair idea of the extent of the present cultivation.\n\nSupplies.\n\nLarge supplies of opium are still available at all the big centres, notably Tengyueh, Talifu, Lungling, and Shunning-fu, and it is estimated that the stocks would hold out for from four to five years, even if they were not supplemented by illicit means. In some of the cities these stocks are held by men who cannot easily be reached by the district officials, and at Lungling the holders resort to the expedient of stocking part of their supplies at inaccessible villages on the frontier line, thus ensuring greater freedom and security for distribution. The smuggling operations in this direction appear to have been so successful that there has been a steady movement of stocks to the Lungling base during the past few months.\n\nConsumption.\n\nA few years ago it was estimated that 80 per cent of the population of the district was addicted to opium, though, as stated above, the people are well-fed and show no physical defects as the result of the consumption. The vigorous action of the past two years has had the effect of stimulating prices, and holders of stocks now find a very favourable market, the price of the drug having risen within the last three years to three or four times its former standard. In 1908 crude opium could be brought in Tengyueh for 12 tael cents an ounce, whereas it cannot be obtained for less than 35 cents now; the prepared drug has risen from 18 cents to 50 or 60 cents; and old opium, which has matured and mellowed, commands as much as 2 taels an ounce (1 tael equals approximately 2 rupees). Whilst the wages of the coolie class stand at 12 cents a-day, and of artisans at about 20 cents a-day, it will be seen that it must be difficult for them to obtain the drug, provided that they are dependent on the ordinary channels, and there can be no doubt that larger numbers of the poorer classes are gradually reducing their daily allowance, and that many have abandoned the habit entirely. The fact that many of the Yamén runners and the \"Old\" or \"Green Banner\" troops continue to smoke regularly would appear to give evidence of some source of supply which is at present free from official vigilance. The soldiers of the \"New\" army at Talifu do not smoke, but a considerable percentage of them swallow opium pills, a practice which is becoming very general; whilst it is noticeable amongst the local Chinese who have given up the drug, that they have acquired a quite extraordinary ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429420, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 157, "title": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "Page 6\n\napprobation pour qu'on agisse d'après l'exemple des villes du Chantong et du Hounan.

He is a man of agreeable manners, good intentions, and limited capacity. It is thus pleasant to dine with him, but very wearisome to have any work to transact with him. As Austrian Minister his work was practically nil, but the assumption of the \"décanat\" has opened up fresh fields to his activity. Unlike his predecessor, who looked upon his position of doyen as purely honorary, M. de Kuczynski takes his duties most seriously, and as all his little fishes are big whales, the most trivial question--such as the completion of a new list of the diplomatic body, or a proposal that a path shall be laid out on the international glacis-is of sufficient importance in his mind to induce him to call upon some foreign colleague and discuss the matter in all its bearings, with a consequent waste of time not at all welcome to the overworked heads of some of the other missions, meetings of the diplomatic body M. de Kuczynski often acts as the spokesman of the views of the German Legation which the German Minister is unwilling to advocate openly himself. I do not think, however, that this is due to any duplicity on the part of M. de Kuczynski, who is a man without guile, means thoroughly well by everyone, and has shown himself particularly friendly to me since I have been in charge.\n\nAt\n\nMme. de Kuczynska is a pleasant-looking lady of the German bourgeoisie, who makes up in amiability and vivacity of manner what she lacks in tact and discretion. She has literary tastes, and is at present engaged on the composition of a drama which, according to her husband, will make a sensation in the Germanic world. She spends as much of her time as possible in Europe.\n\nGermany.Count Rex, the German Minister, conceals under a cloak of bluff heartiness and apparent indifference to anything except a good dinner, a considerable amount of ability and astuteness. He is of imposing proportions, and his physique is a great help to him in the role which he plays as a representative of the Bismarckian policy of \"action not words.\" His national fondness for food and the good things of this life have not really made him slothful or neglectful of his country's interests. He has, I am assured, a good position with the Chinese. He never worries them over trifles, but speaks out when necessary, and certainly is fairly successful with them. He is distinctly anti-British, but I am all the same on excellent terms with him. He is a little apt to overreach himself when he attempts too much diplomatic finesse, and after comparing notes on one or two occasions the French Minister and I have discovered that he is not trustworthy.\n\n[2893 t-1]\n\nPage 156", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429522, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 259, "title": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "HONG KONG C.O. 32447 RLC3 REG 4 OCT 10\n\n3244 258 Foreign 1910 १२ Recr Last previous Paper. 10181690 Carton Tonation on force in operis athen Leuds Euces copy of desk prom Peking note to bhuine for complaining of further action of excurs for Auth\".

It seems hardly necessary to comment on the idea that the United States and Germany are going to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for China without ample compensation, but in China's present mood she is inclined to form exaggerated estimates.\n\nThe climax of exaggeration and folly was reached in the recent reception of the business men from the Western States, who were accorded almost Royal honours not only by Chinese commercial classes, but by the Chinese Government, and whose doings and sayings have been recorded with a minuteness of detail and with such appreciative comments as can hardly be rivalled during the approaching visit of the German Crown Prince.\n\nThe ostensible object of the tour was the promotion of trade relations between the two countries, and as in the case of the Japanese business men, who made a similar tour last June, it may be welcomed as another step in familiarising China with the outside world.

If they were left more leisure to utilise the opportunities furnished by their tour they would carry home with them a valuable budget of commercial intelligence, instead of an exaggerated impression of Chinese hospitality and good-will towards foreigners in general and Americans in particular. As it is, they gain superficial and false ideas of China's progress in the path of civilisation and reform, and, worse still, they also instil these ideas into the minds of the Chinese themselves, who certainly are already not wanting in self-sufficiency and conceit. I fully agree with Mr. Fox that to pour indiscriminate panegyrics on all the efforts of the Chinese to fall into line with modern civilisation, as, for instance, to say publicly that the Shanghai-Hangchow-Ningpo Railway is as efficient as any line on the American continent, must, with a nation like the Chinese, be productive of far more harm than good.\n\nI further agree with Mr. Fox in his remark that this visit is not likely to produce any tangible result in the direction of increased trade between China and the United States, and the speaker who described it as \"the beginning of novel business relations between the two countries and a great factor in their political relations\" was guilty of postprandial exuberance of speech.\n\nIf I have written at such length on the subject of these American visits to China and of the warmth of the reception accorded to the visitors, it is because I feel that this strong pro-American sentiment in China is a factor in Far Eastern politics with which it is necessary to reckon. There has been a great deal of inspired newspaper talk and exaggerated after-dinner speaking, but there is a real feeling at the bottom of it all, and the demonstrations of good-will and friendship in the case of the American business men are not due to Government direction, but to individual good feeling. The mere gratitude of the Chinese nation for past favours received is a broken reed to lean on, and even this year there has been talk in Canton of a boycott of American goods on account of the ill-treatment of some Chinese in California. There is something more than gratitude for returned indemnities and other alleged benefits to account for the undeniable sincerity of these pro-American demonstrations, and that is, as Mr. Fox says, the recognition of the possibilities afforded by the disinterested friendship of one of the great nations of the world. There is at the present moment in China a widespread feeling that all the Powers, excepting the United States and perhaps also Germany, are directly or indirectly bonded together against her, and that the United States are China's only friend and bulwark against foreign aggression. I do not go so far as to say that responsible Chinese statesmen look to America for active support, but they probably feel, rightly or wrongly, that in a few years the opening of the Panamá Canal will place in the hands of the United States the hegemony of the Pacific Ocean, and that, therefore, friendship with the United States should form the basis of China's foreign policy.\n\nIn estimating the strength and probable duration of such friendship, at all events from the side of China, we must not leave out of our calculations the strong pro-American influence of the already large and steadily increasing number of Chinese who have received their education in America. So great a patriot as Cecil Rhodes in founding the Rhodes scholarships at Oxford for students from the colonies, the United States of America, and Germany, gave concrete expression to his opinion that \"educational relationships form the strongest tie\" and a sure basis for a good understanding between nations.\n\n3\n\nThe dominating feature of the American attitude in the Far East is the instinctive friendliness felt for and shown to China, not always, as we saw last winter, in a manner most judicious or most likely to conduce to the real interests of China herself. There can be no doubt that the support of American diplomacy tends to encourage China to adopt an attitude of stubborn opposition towards the advice and requests of other nations, and it is natural that diplomatists in Peking should regard with some suspicion what we, rightly or wrongly, consider as the too complaisant attitude of the American Legation towards the Chinese Government. I have before now commented on the lack of success, from the Chinese point of view, that attended the first incursion of the United States financiers supported by their Government into Far Eastern affairs. The results achieved hitherto, leaving out of consideration the loan for 10,000,000l. at present being negotiated, have been the indefinite postponement of the construction of the Hankow-Canton and Szechuan Railways and the agreement between Russia and Japan in Manchuria.\n\nIt is difficult at this distance to judge how far the fierce campaign in the American press directed from Peking by the \"New York Herald\" correspondent, Mr. Ohl, according to which Great Britain was represented as sacrificing America's friendship, China's interests and her own position in the Far East to her infatuation for her Japanese ally, in connection with the Chinchow-Aigun Railway scheme, either represented or affected public opinion in the United States. The financial group concerned, or rather their representative out here, Mr. Straight, made use of Mr. Ohl to continually attack our policy, and as Mr. Ohl was in close touch with the \"Peking Daily News\" and the Press Bureau at the Wai-wu Pu, hardly a day passed without violent diatribes being published in the Peking press in regard to our alleged unfriendly policy towards China and our disloyalty to the United States. Mr. Ohl summoned other yellow journalists to his aid, including a Mr. Millard, who published an article in the July number of the \"Forum\" on the subject of the Chinchow-Aigun Railway. The article in itself does not merit much attention, but it is noteworthy as containing the text of all the notes addressed by the various foreign legations in Peking to the Wai-wu Pu in regard to the railway scheme in question, these notes, I understand, having been communicated by some high official in the Wai-wu Pu, said to be his Excellency Liang Tun-yen, to Mr. Millard for publication. The style of Mr. Millard's reasoning can be gathered from the following sentence: \"I unhesitatingly declare my opinion that the issue raised in the matter of the Chinchow-Aigun Railway, broadly viewed, is one on which any self-respecting nation, if forced by antagonistic diplomacy into a position where it is squarely put, ought to go to war about.\"\n\nFortunately, there are other interests of greater importance than the construction of a railway of 800 miles in Manchuria, professedly a purely commercial venture, that determine the relations between Great Britain and the United States of America; and it certainly looks at present as if the furious press campaign got up in the interests of a financial group had missed fire.\n\nIt may be hoped that the visit of the delegates of the chambers of commerce may show them that there are other spheres in China besides Manchuria where American financiers can invest their capital with equal advantage to themselves, provided they are really desirous of assisting China in this manner, and do not merely aim at bringing forward political issues which place China in a difficult position vis-à-vis other Powers, where she cannot help herself, and where she cannot, in spite of the fulminations of the yellow press, look for material and effective help from her American friends.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW.

The financial group concerned, or rather their representative out here, Mr. Straight, made use of Mr. Ohl to continually attack our policy, and as Mr. Ohl was in close touch with the \"Peking Daily News\" and the Press Bureau at the Wai-wu Pu, hardly a day passed without violent diatribes being published in the Peking press in regard to our alleged unfriendly policy towards China and our disloyalty to the United States. Mr. Ohl summoned other yellow journalists to his aid, including a Mr. Millard, who published an article in the July number of the \"Forum\" on the subject of the Chinchow-Aigun Railway. The article in itself does not merit much attention, but it is noteworthy as containing the text of all the notes addressed by the various foreign legations in Peking to the Wai-wu Pu in regard to the railway scheme in question, these notes, I understand, having been communicated by some high official in the Wai-wu Pu, said to be his Excellency Liang Tun-yen, to Mr. Millard for publication. The style of Mr. Millard's reasoning can be gathered from the following sentence: \"I unhesitatingly declare my opinion that the issue raised in the matter of the Chinchow-Aigun Railway, broadly viewed, is one on which any self-respecting nation, if forced by antagonistic diplomacy into a position where it is squarely put, ought to go to war about.\"\n\nFortunately, there are other interests of greater importance than the construction of a railway of 800 miles in Manchuria, professedly a purely commercial venture, that determine the relations between Great Britain and the United States of America; and it certainly looks at present as if the furious press campaign got up in the interests of a financial group had missed fire.\n\nIt may be hoped that the visit of the delegates of the chambers of commerce may show them that there are other spheres in China besides Manchuria where American financiers can invest their capital with equal advantage to themselves, provided they are really desirous of assisting China in this manner, and do not merely aim at bringing forward political issues which place China in a difficult position vis-à-vis other Powers, where she cannot help herself, and where she cannot, in spite of the fulminations of the yellow press, look for material and effective help from her American friends.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nEnclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nW.

This course has been adopted in other similar cases, a modified premium being imposed in respect of the extension of the period of the lease.

The spacious building was filled with a devout congregation, and the proceedings were of a solemnity and impressiveness that affected all worshippers and helped them to realise the importance of the great event. Low Pontificial Mass was celebrated by his Lordship Bishop Pozzoui, assisted by Monsignor P. de Maria, Rev. L. Robert, and Rev. Father Noval, while the Rev. G. M. Spada and the Rev. A. Placzek were Masters of Ceremonies, the former acting for the clergy and the latter for the congregation. The order of service was as follows:\n\n* Coronation March, Rich Eilenberg, by members of the Sociedade Philharmonica, conducted by Prof. F. Gonzales.\n* Mass of the Day with collect for the Elected King.\n* During the Mass the following music was rendered:\n\t+ Veni Creator, German Core, by the Cathedral choir and friends.\n\t+ Andante Religioso, Francis Thome, by the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n\t+ Sanctus, Perosi, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Largo e Mesto, Beethoven, by the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n* During the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, the following hymns were sung:\n\t+ O Salutaris, Webb, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Te Deum, Gregorian, by the choir and clergy.\n\t+ Tantum Ergo, G. Mercanti, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Laudate Dominum, by the choir and friends.\n* The service closed with the singing of \"God save the King,\" by the choir, clergy, and congregation, accompanied by the band of the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n\n## THE JEWISH SERVICE\n\nAt the special service held in the Ohel Leah Synagogue, the following prayer was offered after the sermon and the opening of the Ark:\n\nAlmighty God and everlasting King! From the place of Thy habitation Thou lookest upon all the indwellers of the earth. By Thee kings reign and princes rule. Thou establishest their throne, and in Thy hand is their glory and their might.\n\nPrayer for the King and the Royal Family,\n\nMay He who giveth salvation unto kings and dominion unto princes, Whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, Who delivered His servant David from the hurtful sword, Who maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters - may He bless, protect and exalt our Sovereign Lord, King George, Our Gracious Queen Mary, Alexandra, the Queen Mother, Edward, Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family.\n\nMay the Supreme King of Kings in His mercy preserve the King, guard him, and deliver him from all trouble, sorrow and hurt. May He make his enemies fall before him, and in whatsoever he undertaketh may he prosper. May the Supreme King of Kings in His mercy put a spirit of wisdom and understanding into his heart and into the hearts of all his counsellors, that they may uphold the peace of the realm, advance the welfare of the nation, and deal kindly and truly with all Israel. In his days and in ours may Judah be saved and Israel dwell securely; and may the Redeemer come unto Zion. O that this may be His will, and let us say, Amen.\n\nThe Ark was then closed.\n\n## THE PARSEE SERVICE\n\nAlmost all the members of the Parsee Community were present at their Club premises at the corner of Elgin and Shelley Streets at 4 p.m. in the afternoon for a religious service. A special prayer was recited by the Priest, the whole congregation remaining standing. The following is the translation of the prayer from Gujarati:\n\n1. Blessed be the name of Holy Abura-Mazda! Almighty Abur-Mazda, Holy, Heavenly, Pure; give ear, we beseech Thee, to the prayers of Thy Mazdayaçnian servants, and satisfy us with Thy Mercy.\n2. Receive our heartfelt thanks, O Almighty God, that Thou art pleased this day to set a peerless crown upon the head of our Gracious Sovereign, King Emperor George.\n3. Vouchsafe to him, Merciful Creator, Thy majesty. Thou hast set Thy servant, George, upon the throne of his fathers. Thou knowest his heart, that it has ever been his desire and happiness to seek the welfare of his people and to execute Thy laws in the land.\n\nBehold, the day hath come that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it, the day on which he has been anointed King, when the crown of sovereignty has been placed upon his head, the day when he lifted up his hand to heaven and took the oath, that he would rule over his people according to the Statutes of the realm, and cause Law and Justice in Mercy to be executed.\n\nTherefore we have come into Thy house, and worship toward Thy holy temple. Hearken unto the voice of our cry, our King and our God, for unto Thee do we pray. May it please Thee to bless our Sovereign Lord the King: O God, save the King! May the King live! May the King live for ever! May Thine arm strengthen him to bear the heavy yoke of governance.\n\nEven as Thou hast set a diadem of fine gold upon his head, so crown him with honour and glory, with mercy and loving-kindness. Anoint him with the oil of gladness. Vouchsafe unto him the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of knowledge and fear of Thee, so that all the nations that dwell beneath his sceptre, the sceptre of righteousness, may abide in peace and tranquillity.\n\nPour out the riches of Thy heavenly goodness upon Queen Mary, who standeth at the right hand of the King in gracious majesty. Verily on her tongue is the law of kindness. Her eyes are upon the poor and upon those that are bruised in spirit. Her heart goeth out to those that are stretched upon the bed of languishing. Give her the desire of her heart, and do not withhold the request of her lips. Bless the Queen Mother, Heir Apparent, and all the members of the Royal House.\n\nWithdraw not, we beseech Thee, Thy loving-kindness from this realm. Shield the indwellers thereof. Remove from them pestilence, sword, famine and sorrow. Spread the days when peace will flourish throughout the world, when the earth will be full of the knowledge of Thee, as the waters cover the sea.\n\nGrant unto our Sovereign Lord the King, the spirits of heavenly piety, as also Thy spirit of wisdom for his guide and Thy arm for his strength, so that in his godliness, and in his unfained spirit of wisdom and strength, Justice, Truth, Peace and Love may flourish in his days to promote the well-being, solidarity and unity of his various subjects of all classes and creeds.\n\n4. We pray unto Thee, O Merciful Mazda, to bestow upon our illustrious Sovereign splendour and glory, health, vigour and victoriousness of body, wealth which may bring all prosperity, a long line of descendants gifted with intelligence, a long life and the best, brilliant and glorious life of the Pious.\n\n5. We beseech Thee, O Bountiful Giver of all Good, to be favourable to our ruler, and to bestow of Thy bounty upon his head the full blessings of the annihilation of famine and pestilence wherever prevailing in his wide dominions, and to endow, in his vast Empire, the happiness and cheer of fruitful peace and gladsome plenty.\n\n6. We supplicate Thee, O Merciful Creator, to crown the fulness of his days with the fulness of Thy divine blessings, grace and love, and receive our humble prayers, O Almighty God, that those and all Thy other gifts may be long continued, and crown him with immortality in the life to come.\n\n7. Listen, we pray Thee, to this earnest invocation of Thy servants of the Zoroastrian faith in Hongkong, and grant us our wishes.\n\n8. Merciful and Gracious Abura-Mazda, we again beseech Thee to give ear to our prayers and to extend Thy divine blessings, favour and love, out of Thy bounteous grace, upon our Gracious Queen Mary.\n\n[June 22, 1911]\n\n## THE PUBLIC MEETING\n\nThe public meeting to endorse the telegraphic addresses to be sent to Their Majesties took place in the City Hall shortly after noon. As was to be expected, the building was taxed to its utmost, all sections of the community being represented in the large gathering. Among those present were the American Delegates from Manila, who were accompanied by Captain Agg, K.O.Y.L.I. Sir Francis Piggott, Chairman of the Coronation Committee, on the entrance of His Excellency, proposed that the Governor preside over the meeting.\n\nHis Excellency then said: - Ladies and gentlemen, - To-day in both hemispheres, in every part of the world, and in every sea where the British flag flies, the subjects of our King are uniting to do homage and to wish him prosperity in his Coronation. They testify their loyalty and reverently and earnestly express their hopes that his reign may be long, prosperous and peaceful. To-day the Crown of his ancestors - that Crown which is the symbol of unity of the Empire - will be placed upon his head in the historic hall where a long line of British kings have been crowned, with all the pomp and circumstance of the old-time ritual. We in Hongkong do not come second to any British community in our loyalty to our King and the Throne. (Applause) We are celebrating to-day this historic event with rejoicing and with prayer. We desire to transmit to His Majesty our expressions, our heart-felt good wishes and congratulations, and our desires for his long and prosperous reign. I have, therefore, asked you to meet here in the City Hall to-day that you may hear the telegrams and addresses, and may approve them which it is proposed to send.\n\nThe Executive and Legislative Councils, in joint session with the Judges, send the following telegram:\n\nThe Executive and Legislative Councils of Hongkong, and the Judges of Hongkong, on behalf of Your Majesty's subjects in the Colony, beg most humbly to offer their loyal and respectful congratulations to You on the Occasion of the Coronation of Your Majesty as King and Emperor, and of Her Majesty Queen Mary. We pray that the event which is celebrated to-day may inaugurate a long and glorious reign for Your Majesties and an era of happiness, prosperity and honourable peace for Your Majesty's Kingdom and Empire.\n\nThe Coronation Committee, on behalf of the community, and on behalf of every race and nationality, has submitted the following telegram:\n\nHis Majesty's subjects in Hongkong present their loyal homage to the King, and the people of other nationalities within the borders of the Colony join with them in offering respectful congratulations to Their Majesties and in wishing them a long and happy reign.\n\nThe Chinese community propose to lay before the King at his Coronation at Delhi, which I hope to attend, a beautifully embroidered scroll expressing their loyalty and good wishes. The translation will be read to you presently by Mr. Chan Kai Ming.\n\nI may add that I received this morning by mail intimation from the Secretary of State that it was the intention of the King to present to this Colony portraits of himself and the Queen. (Applause)\n\nHis Excellency then asked the gathering to express their approval by holding up their hands. There was a full show of hands.\n\nMr. Ng Hon Tsz then read the Chinese address in the vernacular, and Mr. Chan Kai Ming read the translation in English as follows:\n\nTO HIS MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY GEORGE THE FIFTH\n\nBy the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India, Supreme Lord in and over the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\n\nAll the Chinese subjects and Chinese residents in Hongkong with uplifted hands and bowed heads dutifully present this address.\n\nBoth speakers were warmly applauded. Hon. Dr. Ho Kai asked His Excellency to present the embroidered copy of the address bound in red morocco to H. M. The King.\n\nOn the call of His Excellency three hearty cheers were given for the King, and the meeting dispersed.\n\n## ADDRESS FROM THE FREEMASONS\n\nThe Masonic bodies in Hongkong are sending the following address:\n\nTo HIS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY KING GEORGE V - By the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.\n\nThe Order of Freemasonry was cradled in that divine Faith whereof Your Majesty is the Defender, and is founded on the purest principles of piety and virtue. It teaches those heavenly principles of our duty to God, our duty to our neighbour, and our duty to ourselves, and reminds us of the constant need in our daily life of the practice of those truly kingly attributes Benevolence and Charity.\n\nThe Freemasons of this remote District rejoice greatly therefore that Your Majesty has been graciously pleased to become the Grand Patron of our Charities, and that Her Majesty the Queen has consented to be their Grand Patroness.\n\nLoyalty, Fidelity and Obedience have ever been among the watchwords of our Orders, and Your Majesty has no more devoted subjects than those who range under our banners.\n\nMay the Great Architect of the Universe grant, in His infinite wisdom, that Your Majesty's life may exceed the span of man's allotted term and that Your reign may be blessed with every Happiness for Your Majesty, for our beloved Queen Mary and for the members of Your Royal Family, and with Peace, Joy and Prosperity for Your Majesty's loyal subjects in all lands.\n\n## THE ROYAL SALUTE\n\nAt noon the warships in the harbour, both British and foreign, and the shore batteries, joined in a royal salute.\n\n## THE CORONATION PARADE\n\nOwing to the unsettled state of the weather, the review which was fixed to take place at 8 a.m. yesterday was postponed until the afternoon. The postponement proved propitious, for the rain held off and the parade was participated in and watched under pleasant weather conditions. A cloudy sky obscured the sun's rays and minimised the heat. An exceptionally large crowd surrounded the race course, and the quantity of bunting displayed gave the Valley the holiday appearance which it wears during race week. The troops were massed in the enclosure, and as they went through their preliminary evolutions presented an imposing appearance.\n\nAt four o'clock His Excellency the Governor arrived, and a royal salute was fired by the guns of two batteries, one stationed at the north, and one at the south end of the enclosure. His Excellency, accompanied by Major-General Anderson, Colonel St. John, Major Tulloch, Captain Grotton, Commodore Eyres, Captain Taylor, Captain Simson and an Indian A.D.C., inspected the troops and then returned to the saluting base. Preparations were made for the march past, and when all was in readiness the order was given, and to the strains of \"Sons of the Sea\" and regimental airs the naval brigade and the different regiments marched past in column.\n\n| Unit | Strength |\n| --- | --- |\n| Royal Marines | 513 |\n| Royal Navy | 176 |\n| Royal Garrison Artillery | 407 |\n| H.K.S.B., B.G.A. | 209 |\n| Royal Engineers | 175 |\n| K.Y.L.I. | 422 |\n| 8th Rajputs | 708 |\n| 126th Baluchis | 713 |\n| Total | 3,468 |\n\nAfter the march past the European troops were formed into a hollow square around the saluting base, with the K.O.Y.L.I. band near the flagstaff. His Excellency read the messages of congratulation and loyalty which were forwarded to the King, and then the troops raised three hearty cheers to His Majesty which reverberated among the hills.\n\nAn impressive drum head service followed. To the music of the K.O.Y.L.I. band the troops and the spectators joined in the hymn, \"O God, our help in ages past.\" Lessons were read and prayers offered by naval and military chaplains, and the service closed with the singing of the first verse of the National Anthem, in which thousands of voices joined.\n\nThe Indian regiments then gave three lusty cheers for the King, after which the troops, four deep, marched through the city to barracks.\n\n## ENTERTAINING THE CHILDREN\n\nThe school children were entertained in their various schools yesterday morning. The address of H.E. the Governor, in which he appropriately referred to the lessons of the Coronation, was read, and the medals were distributed to the children, after which they were treated to refreshments, etc.\n\n## THE DECORATIONS\n\nThe decorations were on a most extensive scale. In the harbour practically every vessel was beflagged from stem to stern, and foreign merchantmen joined with British in making a display of bunting. The Monmouth, Astræa, Flora and Tamar had a profusion of bunting, and the visiting American and Japanese gunboats contributed to the colour scheme on the water.\n\nAshore the principal decorations were on the water front, in Queen's Road, and at the various barracks. In the city the centre of attraction was Statue Square. Here various coloured standards had been erected, and from these were suspended festoons of greenery, each standard also bearing a green circle of foliage. Bannerettes also fluttered in the breeze. The buildings facing the harbour were embellished with the national colours, Japanese lanterns, etc., while practically every office showed a flag. As usual the Chinese made a brave display, and the quaint arches erected in various parts of the city were very striking indeed.\n\n## ILLUMINATIONS\n\nThe buildings on the water front and in Queen's Road were covered with lanterns which showed up very effectively. York Buildings had a beautiful frontage of red lamps, and the buildings along the Praya had their illuminations which added to the general effect. On Kowloon side the illuminated arch was very conspicuous, but the most picturesque sight was presented by the warships which were outlined with lights, the American ship _Ralston_ introducing a striking contrast with red lamps. The _Fatshan_ was hung with lamps, and smaller craft had their illuminations also. The grand scheme of illumination will not be seen until to-night.\n\nChinese fireworks were set off from the Parade Ground and in front of the Hongkong Club, and Japanese fireworks from the Public Gardens. The pyrotechnic display appealed to all sections of the community and was greatly appreciated.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 432479, "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": "CO129-379 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [8-9]", "page_number": 229, "title": "CO129-379 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [8-9]", "content_text": "## Table: Lease Information\n\n| No. of Lot | Commencement Date of Lease | Name of Present Owner | Situation | Area in Sq.Ft. | Term of Lease |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 170 | 26. 6. 43 | Li Yuen Cheuk | Hillier Street and Jervois Street | 3,040 | M.L. |\n| 28B | 10. 9. 45 | Tsoi Lo Shi and another | Burd Street and Jervois Street | 1,444 | |\n| 227 | 5. 11. 44 | John H.

The total cost of this road, 24.1 miles in length, up to the end of this year is put down at $140,000, including purchase of land. Adding the sums of $36,000 and $5,000 required to complete the two unfinished sections (San Tin-Au Tau and An Ha-Sha Tau Kok), its entire cost will be $181,000, to which we may add $54,107 for further light line. It is money well spent, not only as a feeder to the railway and for administrative and police purposes, but also because it is a legitimate and proper benefit to the taxpayers of the New Territory. I do not propose to broaden the road beyond Fauhung where it forms the track of the light line. The cost of broadening the remainder to the full 14 feet is estimated at $62,000 only. In addition to this, I propose to construct a short branch from Au Tau to the large village of Kam Tin on the same principles, at a cost of $9,000, which is now provided. This may in future years be extended to the foot of the hills towards Taipo and thence cross the gap by a bridle path.\n\nThe length of the present section is one mile. A sum of $4,000 will complete the work shown under \"Flushing Tanks and Iron Pipes.\"\n\nThe total vote for \"Roads, New Territory\" therefore stands at $224,000.\n\n## Hongkong Roads and Nullahs\n\nThe vote for roads and streets in Hong Kong, hitherto called \"Forming and Kerbing Streets,\" stands at $30,000. Of this, $15,000 is for a road to connect Chamberlain Road with Plantation Road, and onward to open up some new sites at an estimated cost of $17,000, of which $2,000 will be spent this year out of the vote \"Forming and kerbing streets.\" As there was some divergence of opinion regarding the route this road should follow, I referred the matter for the advice of the Public Works Committee, whose report has been laid on the table today and whose recommendations have been adopted. Other items under this heading are the diversion of the Bonham Road at No. 2 Taukok ( $3,000 ), where a large depression has been filled in and a valuable site made available; a continuation of the scheme of improvement at Taihang Village, $2,000; improvements near the junction of Bonham and Pokfulam Roads, $3,000, and the improvement of a further stream near the first bridge on the Pokfulam Road, $7,400 for two nullahs at Shankwan, and $600 for one on May Road. These are recommended by the Sanitary and Principal Medical Officer as being the most urgent and are all situated in districts where the most malaria has occurred. $19,000 is provided for nullahs in the vicinity of Wanchai or Bowen Road, but it has not been definitely decided which of them will be taken in hand first.\n\n## Drainage and Survey\n\nThe Miscellaneous Drainage Vote includes a sum of $5,000 for necessary works in connection with the large reclamation scheme at Shamsuipe; and $7,500 to complete, at a total of $13,500, the Craig Road sewer which is being made to intercept the sullage water from houses situated within the catchment area of Aberdeen reservoir, and to conduct it to Wanchai Gap, where it may either be treated by filtration or connected with the city sewers. $2,500 is set aside for the sewerage system at Shaukiwan West in connection with developments occurring there; $1,400 in connection with reclamations at Yaumati, and $1,850 for the extension of the storm water drain near 'Blackhead's Point.\n\nThis leaves a balance for works in connection with new sewers and general purposes in 1912 of $9,250, of which $1,100 will probably be required for a drain near the Anatomical Theatre, and $1,000 to substitute 12-inch for 9-inch pipes between Garden Road and the City Hall. Total vote, $27,500.\n\nFor the triangulation survey, $5,000 was provided this year. Of this, about $2,000 will be spent, making an estimated total to December 31st of $4,283. $1,500 is provided for 1912, and I am glad to say that this very greatly needed survey of Hong Kong Island, of which, after seventy years of occupation, we possess no even tolerable map, is making fair progress.\n\n## Royal Square\n\nThe iron fencing around the garden plots in Royal Square will cost $13,880. The class of fencing which should be adopted has been much discussed, and unless during this debate other views should be expressed, I propose to adopt the recommendation of the Public Works Committee and order railings exactly similar to those at present on the western side of the Square. Personally, I think that it would have been preferable to take the heavy railings from the seaward lots and to use them for the southern unfenced plots opposite the Law Courts, so that they would be symmetrical on either side, and to fence the two plots east and west opposite the Hong Kong Club and nearest the sea with a somewhat lighter class of fencing and with fewer masonry pillars, so as not to detract from the sense of open space which it is most desirable that the Square should convey to the eye, and to allow the view to sweep upwards from the sea front unimpeded by small plots highly palisaded. It is, however, a matter for the community to decide as it may please.\n\n## Water Supply\n\nThe expenditure on the Kowloon Water Works, which have cost the Colony a total sum of $1,279,379, has now ceased with their completion. They are indeed a magnificent undertaking, and the supply of water which they provide is so much in excess of present demands that we may feel some confidence that a considerable time will elapse before the Colony has to trouble about the water supply on the other side of the harbor. The new scheme for a better water supply to Shaukiwan was approved by the Council last year at an estimated cost of $60,000, of which $40,000 was voted, and $17,000 will have been spent this year. $30,000 has been placed on the estimates to carry on the scheme.\n\nSimilarly, $30,000 was voted last year for an additional service reservoir at West Point, and as the Council has approved the proposals, I need not recall the reasons for the work. It has not, however, been found possible to do more than prepare plans and estimates this year. It is proposed to begin the work at an early date. $50,000 is provided.\n\nFinally, we propose to commence the new reservoir at Tytam Tuk, spending $100,000 on it next year; more than this cannot, I am told, be spent by the engineers in the first year of work. The scheme for this reservoir, which, when completed, will put an end for a long period of years to all our water troubles and make us independent of Pokfulam, is not yet finally settled, and it will in due course be laid before the Public Works Committee. I am sincerely glad that this undertaking, which will cost upwards of two million dollars, should be inaugurated while I am in the Colony. Like the Typhoon Refuge, it will be an immense boon to the Chinese, who at present are annually placed on a restricted water supply during a considerable portion of the dry season.\n\n## Piers\n\nLast year, a sum of $30,000 was provided for a pier opposite the Square. The work has not yet been taken in hand. I think myself that it is open to question whether another pier at Kowloon is not a more urgent necessity than this. But, it is difficult to decide at what point such a pier could be most advantageously placed until we know definitely where the main railway station will be located. This is a subject upon which opinions differ radically, and after much discussion, it was decided to hold the matter over until we have some idea, not only of the nature and the amount of the through traffic to Canton, but also at what hours of the day chief pressure will occur, and consequently in what manner the railway can best be served by the ferry. I hope to lay papers on this subject shortly so that the Council and the Public may form their own opinion on the merits of the various schemes which have been advocated. In the meantime, I think it is better to hold over the construction of the pier, the more so that the question of whether one is required at Royal Square and, if so, of what class its roofing should be, is also a matter of some controversy, and the question does not press. If before the end of next year a definite view finds general approval, either for a pier on this side or on the other, we can commence construction on a supplementary vote.\n\n## Other Works\n\nThe vote for Miscellaneous Works stands at $20,000. The minor works foreseen are few. They include $1,000 for ricsha stands and $1,000 for walling in the area at the junction of Arbuthnot Road and Wyndham Street, with $860 for two other small works. The balance of the vote is for unforeseen minor works during 1912.

The Imperial Government have come to the conclusion that a continuation of the long-existing friendly ties between Russia and China is impossible if the Chinese Government maintain such an attitude towards the treaty of 1881. As they are desirous of maintaining and strengthening those ties, they consider it necessary to make this statement and to request the Chinese Government to consent without delay to observe the following points which are drawn up in strict accordance with the provisions of the treaty of 1881, and with the principles which form the basis of the treaty relations between Russia and China.\n\n(Then follow the six points enumerated in M. Sazonow's memorandum.)\n\nThe Imperial Government consider it necessary to warn the Chinese Government that they will regard a refusal to consent to the obligations set forth in the above six points, or in any one of the points, as proof of an unwillingness to maintain good and neighbourly treaty relations with Russia. In such an event the Imperial Government reserves to itself the right to take such measures as it may deem necessary for the restoration of the treaty rights of the Russian Government and of Russian subjects, rights which are being trampled on by the Chinese Government.\n\n## Enclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum.\n\nIN view of the statements in the Russian press that the Chinese Government are refusing to allow the establishment of a Russian consulate at Shara Sume, in the Altaishan, and, \"in addition to their other conditions, the Russian Government will insist on establishing a consulate at Shara Sume,\" it may be of use to your Excellency if I put on record some information respecting this place, which is not marked on any map, which is a source of grievance on the part of the Russian Government against the Chinese Government, and which is likely to be alluded to again fairly frequently in the course of the next few years.\n\nFor some years previous to 1908 the Russian Government had made complaints to His Majesty's Government that the Chinese Government were trying to alter the status of Mongolia, to bring it more directly under the control of Peking, &c., and I offered to go and see what foundation there was for this Russian complaint.\n\nI left Peking in April 1908. My route was by Kalgan, the cities of Northern Shansi, Kweihuacheng, the Ordos tribes, Ninghsiafu, Alashan, across the Gobi to Urga, Uliassutai, Kobdo, Shara Sume, Chuguchak, and Kuldja.\n\nThough I found many traces en route of the endeavours of the Chinese to bind Mongolia more closely to them, it was not until Shara Sume was reached that the inward meaning of the Russian complaint became evident.\n\nAbout 1906 a Manchu official, a henchman of Yuan Shih Kai and Natung-tan, arrived in the Altais with a force of 1,000 men, with orders to found a new colony similar to Kobdo, Uliassutai, &c. The site chosen was Shara Sume (schera = yellow, in Mongol, and sume = temple), where there were the ruins of a Mongol temple lying about a mile from the Kilingho (the Kran in some Russian maps), a tributary of the Irtish, among the folds of the lower slopes of the Altaishan. A twelve days' march by a bridle path over the Ermektu Daba (daba = pass) connects the settlement with Kobdo.\n\nHere the expedition set to work to build with great activity, and soon a small village, the houses of mud and wood, was ready for occupation. Tien-tsin and Peking merchants and Turki merchants from Guchen were encouraged to open branches of their home shops, and everything was done to foster trade.\n\nI stayed there five days, and had long and frequent conversations with the enlightened governor and his officials (one of the latter spoke English). The governor was most friendly; he was evidently weary with the cares of constructing his colony, and before I left he had even invited me to stay and help him in his task.\n\nHe said that the colony was really eventually to be built 15 miles or so to the south-west, out of the mountains, on the plains, still by the banks of the Kilingho. I passed the future site some days later. The governor said that even when the latter colony was built the present one would still have its uses. He was trying to induce his Government to allow him to lay a telegraph line to Guchen (twenty-one days to the south). At present he had to send his telegrams by mounted messenger to Chuguchak (ten days to the south-west) to be despatched. The Chinese Government expected everything reported now-a-days, and all this was a waste of time. One official told me that the object of the new colony was to settle and open up the country, to bring order where chaos had hitherto reigned, to educate the Mongols and Turkis, to examine the mineral wealth of the mountains, to make surveys, paths, &c.\n\nThe officials said that the governor was a keen supporter of the forward movement in Mongolia, but that his Excellency realised the necessity of moving carefully. \"We must go slow, otherwise if there is any trouble, we shall have the Russians over the frontier and shall never get them out again.\" The Russian consul at Uliassutai was very eloquent on the subject of the new colony. He had visited it and had had a sharp passage of arms with the governor. The consul at Chuguchak was equally angry about Shara Sume, and both the consuls were working for its downfall.\n\nThe chief grievance of the Russian Government is doubtless that the colony is provided with six new German guns. They arrived in sections while I was there, and were to be put together by a young Chinese captain. The transport of the guns over the mountains from Kobdo, where the hundreds of cases (ammunition, &c.) had littered the courtyard of my temple, had, indeed, considerably impeded my own movements.\n\nThe general attitude of the governor leaves no doubt that the Chinese Government are in complete earnest with regard to the new policy to be followed with respect to Mongolia.\n\nThere were some disturbances among the natives at first, but this was quelled by the soldiers. It might break out again, as the governor's edicts comprise such things as education of children and decent burial of Mongol dead; these edicts strike a blow at cherished customs.\n\nThe governor's sway extends to Buluntogoi, into which district he hopes to bring some discipline.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-382 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 434615, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 29, "title": "CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "## DRAFT\n\n70.\n\nMINUTE.\n\n3.0.\n\n`11360/11`\n\nTo take advantage of the **Penal Code & Nationality Ordinance** to draft \n\nthe necessary **Circular rationality**.\n\n1.

The several lines proposed are shown on the sketch map which I attach to this note.\n\nIt must be noted that the map now sent by the consul-general was made by him, and is not signed or in any way vouched for by Mr. Hsia.\n\n## Enclosure 6 in No. 1.\n\n**Memorandum by Lieutenant-Colonel Willoughby.**\n\nA point worthy of note is that the maps produced by Mr. Hsia were the War Office map of Yunnan of 1906 (compiled by Major Davies) as well as a Chinese map; from which it is evident that the Yunnan authorities were well aware of Pienma being within the boundary claimed by Great Britain.\n\nAnother point, however (and perhaps a somewhat unfortunate one), is that the War Office map in question shows (and I think fairly and with reason) a very considerable stretch of the Irrawaddy basin, further north, viz., some 55 miles of the head waters of the N'mai Kha itself (latitude from about 27° 38′ to 28° 23′ north) in the neighbourhood of Chamutong, as well as the sources of the Meh Kha, its eastern large affluent, in the Chiutzu country (Khanung), as being within Yunnan, i.e., on the Yunnan side of the as yet undelimited frontier (marked only by a dotted line). I think it will be found that the Chinese claims to this Chiutzu region will, later on, when the question comes up for discussion, be found to be at least as strong as those put forward with regard to Pienma. In this connection, I would draw attention to the report of M. Gaston Péronne, mentioned in consul Rose's despatch No. 15, dated Tengyueh the 11th May, 1910. M. Péronne's head-quarters had been for the past year at Atuntzu, \"which is now the centre of activity for the Chinese along the north section of the Yunnan border.\" One of His Excellency Chao Erh Feng's agents was then at Atuntzu on special duty; said to be a man of considerable intelligence and activity and believed to be pioneering the proposed \"Third Province\" (comprising parts of Szechuan, Yunnan and Thibet) in an endeavour to include territory as far south as the Atuntzu district, which would strengthen the hold of the Chinese on the tribal lands dividing China from the sphere of British administrative control.\n\nHe went with a considerable escort into the \"inner country\" in the autumn of 1909 and remained three months. \"There seems little doubt that he penetrated at least as far as the Hkamti Shans.\" Since his return, he had been busy making the Atuntzu-Chamutong road, and there were many evidences of the intention of the Chinese to push forward their influence in these regions, which until the last few years were entirely beyond their control. They were sparing no pains to restrict lama influence: establishing schools at the larger centres, and insisting on a regular return of presents from the tribespeople, who include \"black Lisu,\" Lutzu and Chiutzu, in addition to the Thibetan groups. From other sources Mr. Rose learnt that deputies sent out by the sub-prefect of Wei Hsi crossed to the Chiutzu country on the west bank of the Salween and collected tribute during the autumn of 1909; also that two companies of Likiang troops were under orders for the Wei Hsi district (one to be stationed on the Salween and one at Atuntzu).\n\nIt is satisfactory to know that Mr. Barnard's expedition to Hkamti (at the head-waters of the Mali Kha) started from Kamaing on the 10th December, to confer a \"sanad\" (patent of rulership) on the present Sawbwa of that State. Here, at any rate, we are on quite firm ground, as there is ample documentary evidence in support of British suzerainty over Hkamti. As far back as 1892, the then chief was in possession of a document from the deputy commissioner of Bhamo acknowledging his right to the protection of the British Government, and proclaiming his territory to be part of the district controlled by the deputy commissioner of Bhamo.\n\nA point of considerable importance in connection with the question of the upper waters of the Irrawaddy is brought out by a journey made by Mr. E. C. Young from Yünnan through Pienma and Hkamti to Assam in the winter of 1905-6 (vide \"Geographical Journal\" for August 1907). According to his diagrams, the volume of the N'mai Kha considerably exceeds that of the Salween, in about the same latitude, and both are much bigger than the Mali Kha. The measurements are so remarkable that they leave room for doubt as to the sources of the N'mai Kha being within such reasonable distance as to admit of our claiming the whole of the head-waters of the Irrawaddy basin as being in Burmah, and so in British territory. Unfortunately, our knowledge of the geography of the upper waters of the N'mai Kha is very limited, but, at any rate, it would seem to be impossible that its source can be north of a point somewhere in the latitude of Mekong, as the Indian explorer Krishna (A. K.), in crossing to Rima from the Salween, not far north of Mekong, seems to have found no other large stream in his path, but \"proceeded up a small affluent of the Salween, over a 'divide by the Ti La pass (16,100'), and finally down an affluent of the Zayul or Lohit till he reached Rima without much difficulty. We thus possess certain information that between the head of the Assam valley and the Salween, there is but one pass.\"-(Sir Thomas Holdich's \"Thibet the Mysterious,\" p. 213.) No such doubt exists with regard to the head-waters of the Mali Kha, the high snowy barrier of the Nam Kiu mountains, which separates them from the Lohit basin, precluding any possibility of any of them taking their rise farther north. This snowy range seems obviously indicated as the boundary line between Upper Burmah and Thibet along the north of the Hkamti State.\n\nTo revert to the question of the delimitation of the boundary from the southern end of the undelimited portion: I anticipate the most strenuous resistance on the part of the Wai-wu Pu to admitting the Irrawaddy-Salween divide as the boundary northward--at any rate, of the southern confines of the Chiutzu country, about latitude 27° 35' north (for the reasons I have given above, and other reasons set forth below); and it is possible that they may even be able to put forward reasonable claims (that we as yet know nothing of) to some measure of control over portions of the intervening Mara country between the Khanung and Pienma.\n\nThe eastern branch of the head-waters of the N'mai Kha (the Chiu-chiang) appears, as I have mentioned above, to rise in the Tsarong district of Thibet, somewhere near Mekong (on the Salween, in latitude 28° 35′ north), and for three marches up-river from Tulong, the inhabitants of the valley (Chiutzu) pay tribute to the Yei-chih \"mokua\" (in the Wei Hsi sub-prefecture of Yunnan), and northward of that point, they are tributary to Tsarong (Thibet). (See \"From Tonkin to India,\" by Prince Henri d'Orleans, pp. 413, 414.)\n\nI think, therefore, it must be recognised that we may be unable to claim the whole of the waters of the Irrawaddy basin--in fact, that it may be necessary to recognise the \"southern confines of Thibet (mentioned in Sir F. Satow's despatch of the 1st May, 1906, to the Wai-wu Pu) as being somewhere about the latitude of Chamutong, i.e., approximately latitude 28 north (so far as the head-waters of the N'mai Kha are concerned). Furthermore, as below that point proceeding down-river to at least the Chiu Chiang Telo confluence, the inhabitants are tributary to Yei-chih and Wei-Hsi; at Tulong, in 1895, Prince Henri d'Orleans found a deputy from the Wei-Hsi sub-prefect), it would seem, perhaps, the simplest plan to consider that point, viz., the confluence, as a suitable point of departure of the frontier line west-wards from the river N'mai Kha.\n\nDuma on the Reun-nam (which is apparently the most easterly affluent of the Mali Kha) also appears from Prince Henri's narrative to be tributary to a Lisu chieftain subject to Yunnan, but this claim, at this rate, ought, I think, to be contested or compounded for by a payment or some compensation elsewhere. The Reun-nam (affluent of the Mali Kha (?)) is separated from the Telo (affluent of the N'mai Kha) by a very few miles only, and by a single mountain ridge, and it is along this ridge that a suitable frontier line might perhaps be found. From the top of this ridge, Prince Henri remarks \"in the west, a high white range running north-east and south-west was identified by us as the alps of Zayul, on the other side of which lies the basin of the upper Brahmaputra in Thibet. This high white range,\" the Nan Kiu mountains is not more than about 50 miles distant, in a straight line, from the Chiu chiang (N'mai Kha)-Telo confluence.\n\nPage 5\nPage 164", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 435277, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-384 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 57, "title": "CO129-384 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\n[23581]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n## SECTION 3\n\n### Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-Received June 16.\n\n(No. 229.)\n\nPeking, May 29, 1911.\n\nIn the course of the negotiations with the Chinese authorities in respect to the duty treatment of the large stocks of Indian Opium which had accumulated in Shanghai and other ports prior to the conclusion of the new opium agreement, my attention, and I have reason to know the attention of the Chinese Government, has been forcibly drawn to a matter which may prove to be a serious obstacle in the path of China's progress towards the complete suppression of the use of opium. I allude to the danger of uncertified opium sold by the Indian Government for consumption in non-Chinese countries being smuggled into China, where the high prices that are likely to be paid for the drug for some time to come will prove a strong incentive to the opium smuggler whose activities are at present for the most part confined to countries such as the Philippines, the United States, and Australia where total prohibition already exists.\n\nIt has been urged by the British opium merchants in China, with what degree of truth I am unable to say, that the proportion of the total annual sales allotted by the Indian Government to non-Chinese markets, namely 16,000 chests, is unreasonably large and constitutes a menace to the legitimate trade as the bulk of this opium will inevitably find its way to China. They consider that the Indian Government should agree to reduce their annual sales to proportions commensurate with the demand existing in non-Chinese opium smoking countries.\n\nI deem it my duty to lose no time in bringing this matter to your notice because, as other countries are of necessity becoming parties to the new opium agreement, I need hardly point out that international complications of exceptional gravity are likely to arise should Indian opium become the object of smuggling on a large scale.\n\nI have no doubt that the Indian Government will, if the merchants' fears prove to be well founded, in fairness to them and in pursuance of their declared policy of co-operating with the Chinese Government in their programme of opium suppression, take such steps as may be necessary to minimise the risk of Indian opium being smuggled into China.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ.

Colonial Secretary,\n\nThe Principal Land Surveyor visited the neighbourhood of Sookumpo with Mr. Funatsu.\n\nHe enquired whether a site on the hill above the old Belilios Reformatory was available. It was explained to him that the Government was not prepared to dispose of that land.\n\nHe eventually agreed that a site adjoining and to the N. of I.L. 1718 (Mt. Caroline Ex. for storing funeral urns) would be suitable.\n\nI attach a plan showing the lot in question coloured red. The area is about 75,170 square feet. Mr. Funatsu wished to extend the area to the North East, but it was explained to him that it would not be advisable to have the path to the cemetery and Tai Hang Rifle Range passing through the lot and there might be objections to its diversion.\n\nHe is, I understand, satisfied with the area shown and would like it as a free grant (i.e. $1 per annum).\n\nThere is, I think, no objection to this as it is unlikely that the Government will require it and its sale is improbable as it is out of the way and inaccessible. Any extension to I.L.1718 would be to the South.\n\nThe value is assessed at:-\n\nPremium 75,170 s.f. at 8 cents. $6,013.60\n\nCrown Rent 75,170 s.f. at $200 per acre equals $346 per annum or 7% capitalized at 14 years/7 years $4,943.00\n\n$10,956.60\n\nInland Lot 1879 was valued at a premium of 15 cents per square foot and crown rent at $300 per acre but this area is fairly level land close to main roads, whereas the one now applied for is steep hillside and somewhat inaccessible.

They were to be admitted in batches for examination. The Harbour Office coolies and seamen were removing a spare propeller across the road from a launch. The Police on duty had to clear a path through the crowd. While engaged in doing so, stones were thrown by the crowd, and one Chinese seaman was struck on the head. There were 4 Indian Police there, and they were forced to draw their revolvers. On their doing so, the crowd dispersed. The stones came from the middle and back of the crowd, whom the Police could not get at. There were probably a good many loafers and boarding house runners mixed up with the emigrants.\n\nIn the afternoon a Chinese emigrant was brought up to the Central Station, and charged with assaulting I.P.C. 868 Pakhar Singh while in the execution of his duty. This affair took place inside the Harbour Office while emigrants were being passed. The emigrant refused to obey an order and struck the Indian Police Constable. The man was let out on $100 bail and failed to appear at Court this morning. The bail was estreated.\n\n7th January, 1912: A man was sent to Hospital this afternoon having had his right hand seriously injured in an explosion at No. 14, Cresson Street, Wanchai, 1st floor. This floor had been occupied until a day or two ago by people who came there from Canton about 2 months ago. Since then the floor has been vacant. The injured man is a carpenter who had been sent to this floor to make some alterations in a partition. While engaged in doing so he appears to have struck some substance which exploded. The explosion was not a large one and no damage to speak of has been done to the room in which it occurred. The Police have found a small mould there, which seems to have been used for manufacturing bombs, and also a piece of a label of Nobel's Explosives. It seems probable that the departed tenants of the floor, who had got a notice stuck up over the door that entrance was strictly prohibited (or words...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-389 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1912 [3-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 437871, "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": "CO129-390 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1912 [5-6]", "page_number": 77, "title": "CO129-390 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1912 [5-6]", "content_text": "73.\n\npastor, the Mission have appealed for some special consideration in the matter and taking all the circumstances into account, I think their appeal is reasonable.\n\n13.\n\nI would therefore submit for your favourable consideration that the cross-hatched portion of the area coloured red on plan 2 comprising about 12,570 Square Feet should be sold to them, without public auction, on the following terms:\n\n(a) Term of lease 70 years, commencing from the date of a letter notifying the approval of the Secretary of State, renewable for one further term of 75 years at a Crown Rent to be fixed by the Surveyor of His Majesty the King.\n\n(b) Premium $3,500 or approximately 4 cents per Square Foot, to be paid into the Treasury within 7 days of the date of the letter mentioned in (a).\n\n(c) Crown Rent $850 per acre, commencing from the date of the letter mentioned in (a).\n\n(d) A sum of not less than $7,500 to be expended on buildings which are to be completed within 24 months of the date of the letter mentioned in (a).\n\n(e) The purchaser to construct substantial retaining walls where necessary to obviate landslips in the event of his cutting away the hill to level the lot.\n\n(f) In the event of the purchaser constructing any buildings fronting on the Western boundary of the lot, he will be permitted to form a path on Crown Land between the said boundary and the nullah to westward of same for access to such buildings.

The average attendance at all these Lower Grade Schools is 2,196. The total average attendance, \n\nat both grades of school, is 6,303, \n\nThe revenue derived from school fees was $76,056.25 (of which $40,435 was from Queen's College). \n\nTwo schools are limited to children of British parentage. Both these schools (one for boys, the other for girls) are under the Government. In 1911 the combined average attendance at them was 76. \n\nHigher education is represented by the Technical Institute, where instruction is given in the evening in Mathematics, Machine Drawing, Building Construction, Field Surveying and allied subjects; in Chemistry and Physics; in the English and French languages, Book-keeping and Shorthand. There is also a Teachers' Class, at which the junior Chinese masters of Government and Grant Schools are expected to attend. A Kindergarten Class has also been started for teachers in Girls' Schools. The Institute is furnished with a well-equipped laboratory. The lecturers are chiefly Civil Servants recruited from the European staffs of Queen's College and the Public Works Department. These officers receive fees for their services. \n\nThe Hongkong University building, the gift of Sir Hormusjee Mody, was almost completed at the end of the year and was opened in March, 1912. It is expected to be open for teaching in the autumn of this year. The first chairs will be those of Medicine, Engineering and Arts. On 31st December, 1911, the Endowment Fund amounted to $839,970.11 in Hongkong currency and a sum £40,098 7s. 3d. in sterling. \n\nV-PUBLIC WORKS, \n\nOf the important works in progress, the Post Office was completed by the middle of the year and the following departments were accommodated on three floors of the building :-Post Office, Treasury, Registrar General's Department, Sanitary Department, Education Department, the District Office for the South of the New Territories and the Audit Department. The extensive basement was partly utilized for postal purposes and partly for the storage of materials required by the Sanitary Department. A fourth floor, which is intended to provide for future expansion, remains unoccupied, but it has been decided to let it for offices in the meanwhile. The Law Courts were practically completed. Substantial progress was made with the Mongkoktsui Breakwater, but all the work executed was invisible, being below low water level. A contract for the reconstruction of the old Western Market was let in September, and fair progress with the foundations had been made by the close of the \n\nyear. \n\nThe following buildings were completed:-Kowloon Market; Additions to No. 2 Police Station; Staff Quarters, Kennedy Town Hospital; Police Station, Ts'un Wan; Reconstruction of Government Pavilions; Hospital at the Quarantine Station, Lai Chi Kok; Workshops and Sheds for Ambulances at the City Disinfecting Station; Coal Shed, Tai Po; Latrines in Mee Lun Tang and Rutter Street and a Trough Closet in Queen's Road West under the ramp leading to the Government Civil Hospital. The following building-works were in erection --Sanitary Office in Wanchai District; Additional Storey and Extensions, Yaumati English School; Market and Slaughter House, Aberdeen; Stables, Yaumati Disinfecting Station; Quarters for Searchers, Imports & Exports Office; Lighthouse and Quarters, Kap Shing Mun; an extension of the Maternity Hospital and the Reconstruction of Coolie Quarters at the City Slaughter Houses to admit of the provision of further accommodation for slaughtering pigs. \n\nThe diversion of Wongneichong Road past Inland Lot 1698 was completed and extended northwards to join the permanent alignment of that section of the road which had previously been formed. The area formerly occupied by No. 2 Tank was filled in. A path from Bowen Road to May Road, bifurcating towards the latter road, was completed and paths from Boundary Path to Kennedy Road and from Chamberlain Road to Plantation Road were in progress. A diversion of Bonham Road to admit of an extension of Inland Lot 751 was also in progress, the necessary works being executed at the expense of the lessees of the lot mentioned. A road to the site of a proposed Japanese Crematorium in Sookunpoo Valley was completed. In the New Territories, the sections of road extending from Ping Shan to Au Tau and from San Tin to Au Ha Gap were completed. As it was decided to utilize the last-named section for a light railway, to extend from Fan Ling Railway Station to Sha Tau Kok, the necessary extension of the road to the latter place was abandoned, a track for the light railway taking its place. The construction of this track and the laying of the light railway were carried out by the Railway Administration. A pier was constructed in Castle Peak Bay and connected with the road to Ping Shan and Au Tau. \n\nThe training of some of the nullahs between Bowen Road and Magazine Gap to the eastward of the Military Hospital was completed, and a considerable amount of such work was executed to the south of Magazine Gap in the valley below the Military Sanitarium, the Military Authorities sharing the cost of the latter work. A considerable length of the nullah at No. 12 Bridge, Shaukiwan, was also trained and the stream past Pokfulam Village was channelled and otherwise improved. In Kowloon, an extension of the nullah in Waterloo Road to the north of No. 4 Railway Bridge was carried out. Underground tanks were constructed at the junction of Arbuthnot Road and Wyndham Street and in Stone Nullah Lane for the purpose of flushing the low-level sewers, the necessary connections with the sewerage system being made. The laying of a sewer in Craig Road to intercept the drainage from houses on the southern slopes of Mount Gough, &c., was undertaken and connections with a number of the houses were carried out. Extensive drainage works were also executed in Shaukiwan West and Shamelippo. \n\n13", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-391 - Acting Governor Claud Severn Governor Sir May - 1912 [7-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 438273, "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": "CO129-391 - Acting Governor Claud Severn Governor Sir May - 1912 [7-8]", "page_number": 42, "title": "CO129-391 - Acting Governor Claud Severn Governor Sir May - 1912 [7-8]", "content_text": "I think it advisable that there should be a clear statement of the facts which have occurred in connection with the dispute which has arisen over the Revised Edition of the Laws of the Colony in consequence of the unfortunate attitude which the Government has chosen to assume in regard to my work. That attitude may be briefly but accurately summarised thus: that I have put forward an imperfect work and have insisted on its being accepted, and that the Government, on the other hand, has refused to accept the work as the Laws of the Colony on account of its alleged inaccuracy. So far as I am concerned, nothing could be further from the truth.\n\nMy attitude is very clearly defined in the Preface, and I should have thought it incapable of being misunderstood except by people who do not wish to understand. I have had too long an experience of printing work, and also of revision work, not to know how liable one is, in the multitude of little details that have to be looked after, to make mistakes. The conditions under which this work especially was done made pitfalls in the path at every turn, and I have always been conscious of the possibility of errors creeping in. It was for this reason that, when six months ago the time came to begin verifying the work, I asked for the assistance of the Heads of Departments concerned. As there seems to be a good deal of misconception on this point, I will deal with it first.\n\nI wrote to the Government (the exact date has escaped me, but it is not material) suggesting that, as the Revision Ordinances had become very complicated, it would be better that each Department should take its share of the process of verification. I went as far, I think at the Attorney General's request, as grouping all the Ordinances under different heads, assigning to each Department those which specially concerned it. The suggestion met with no support; the Departments were too busy (there seemed to be a lurking suspicion that I was trying to shirk my own work); the Attorney General grumbled that he had not time, and so I was compelled to withdraw the suggestion. When what has been called the \"independent scrutiny\" was said to be necessary, I naturally referred to the fact that six months ago I had myself proposed it without success, and that to insist on it now, before paying the final instalment or considering the question of extra remuneration, was most unfair.

If we examine its evil effects we find they are the destruction of trade and physical health in the individual, the ruin of the country and the extinction of the race in general. In the last years of the late dynasty, the restrictions on the cultivation and the tax on the prepared drug were taking effect, and the smoking habit was gradually disappearing. With the foundation of the republic, however, came a rush of work in connection with military matters, and there has been no time to attend to other questions, so that there is every reason to fear that fraudulent merchants and unscrupulous officials will seize the opportunity to look on the old regulations as effete and recommence their old tricks. A young and enlightened people should at once throw off a curse of this sort, and not have illicit recourse for rest of mind to such a deadly poison. I have notified the whole nation by proclamation of the prohibitions on the drug, and I hereby command the Ministry concerned to make immediate investigations as to the opium-prohibition mandates of the late Ching dynasty. Such as are capable of being put into effect should be communicated to the provincial tutus (governors) with instructions to order their subordinates to enforce them as before with the utmost severity and without the slightest relaxation; while such as need addition or amendment, as well as such questions as were left over, must receive the most careful consideration at the hands of the aforesaid Ministry, and, in the meantime, temporary regulations must be drawn up and put into force, so as to cut off at the root in the shortest possible time an evil of a century's growth, to produce a strong China and a powerful race.\n\nEnclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nExtract from \"Nanking Government Gazette” of March 14, 1912.\n\n(Translation.)\n\nORDER BY YUAN SHIH-KAI,\n\nOPIUM-SMOKING is an evil of very long standing, but of late years restrictions and prohibitions have been placed on the use of the drug, and, as the people have daily become more alive to its dangers, the terrible habit has happily grown less. But since the outbreak of the revolution, the restrictions have been somewhat relaxed, and there is cause to fear the evil may spread again. It is necessary, therefore, to reissue the most stringent instructions as to the restrictions on the drug, and the higher local officials will be held responsible for the continued enforcement in the strictest possible manner of the former restrictions on the cultivation, transport, and consumption of opium. Proclamations must also be issued that all may understand that the abolition of opium is intended to save the people and free them from a grievous danger.\n\nLet the whole nation exhort and encourage each other to suppress it. Let them not blind themselves to its frightful dangers for the sake of short-lived gain.\n\n3\n\nEnclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nExtract from “Peking Daily News\" of March 18, 1912.\n\nTHAT President Yuan Shih-kai is taking hold of the helm of State with a wise and firm hand is evidenced by the promulgation on the 14th of the order against the relaxation of efforts for the eradication of the opium evil. The fact has long been known to the world that in President Yuan and Premier Tang, China has had her two strongest champions against the evils of the opium habit, and that to them belongs the credit of not only having initiated the present anti-opium movement, but also given to it their wholehearted interest and support. The marvellous results already accomplished in China in this moral crusade are matters of common knowledge. At the International Opium Conference recently held at The Hague, China was able to announce to the delegates of the twelve Powers therein represented the gratifying fact that, taking the Chinese Empire as a whole, the industry of poppy plantation had been reduced 80 per cent. It was also stated that in addition to the three Manchurian provinces and the provinces of Shansi and Szechuan, which were declared officially clear of the poppy, Chih-li, Fukien, and several other provinces in which opium cultivation had never occupied much of the people's attention, were likewise free from the poppy. There was no disposition on the part of the delegates of the participating Powers to question the truth of these gratifying statements, although they still require official proof before they could be accepted as facts by the Governments of those Powers which are directly or indirectly interested in the opium trade.\n\nFrom the deliberations of the conference and the resolutions which were finally accepted and signed, it was evident that the world had at last come to recognise the evils arising from the use of opium except for medicinal purposes. All the Powers, with the exception of two unimportant countries, also declared themselves ready to make every sacrifice to rid mankind of the curse of opium. These exceptions were Portugal and Persia, the former having its trade in both raw and prepared opium in Macao to foster and protect, and the latter being still dependent upon the revenue derived from the export of Persian opium to meet part of her expenditures. But to the credit of Persia, it should be stated that her Government fully realises the evils arising from the improper use of opium, and, in future, her efforts will be directed to the growth of a high-grade opium, suitable for medicinal purposes only.\n\nIn August 1911, the Netherlands Government had passed a Bill providing for the elimination from their budget the income hitherto derived from the opium trade in their East Indian possessions, and not to allow the consideration of revenue to influence the adoption of any measures that might be deemed necessary for the speedy suppression of the abuse of opium. France was also taking hold of the opium question in her Far Eastern possessions with earnestness and sincerity, and willing to sacrifice the revenue she has been receiving for so many years. Japan is successfully overcoming the evils of opium-smoking among the Chinese and aborigines in Formosa, and the revenue derived from the opium monopoly has been reduced from 3,000,000 to 1,000,000 yen per annum.\n\nBut it is not too optimistic to say that with such a splendid spirit animating the Governments of the world's great nations, the opium question which has been agitating the minds of China's moral reformers for so many years would have soon come to an end if things had been allowed to pursue their normal course. Unfortunately, the revolution in China and with it all the attendant disorders and chaos have stepped in to complicate the situation. Reports have been received that the lawless elements in Yunnan and Szechuan have again taken up the growing of the poppy as a more profitable means of livelihood. Later advices have confirmed the earlier reports, and now it is beyond doubt that the vast plains of Yunnan, which were recently covered with useful crops, are again being given over to the cultivation of the beautiful but poisonous poppy.\n\nIn Szechuan also, the people in some of the districts are taking advantage of the present transitional period, and are again turning their lands into poppy fields. It is seriously apprehended that unless this disposition to disregard the law against poppy plantation be checked at once, and the guilty parties...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-395 - Public Offices - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 441024, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912", "page_number": 360, "title": "CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912", "content_text": "# Enclosure 6\n## (COPT)\n### 356\n15th August, 1912\n\nJ.

These figures have been arrived at by returns furnished by the Collector of Customs at Manila. \n\nThe fines in question of course involve a severe business loss to the shipping companies concerned as pointed out by Messrs. Smith, Bell and Co. (See Enclosure 3) and, in view of the dissatisfaction expressed by the Acting Collector of Customs, I felt it advisable to enquire of the Governor of Hongkong whether something could not be done to relieve the situation in the interests of British shipping. \n\nIt appears that where fines have been levied by the Customs at Manila for the carrying of unmanifested cargo in the form of opium that such opium has generally been secreted on board at Hongkong by agents or employees of Chinese opium syndicates which are alleged to be operating in Manila and that, on arrival of the vessel, after search has been made by the Customs and Opium is discovered on board for which there is no known owner, the ship has often been fined for having unmanifested cargo on board. \n\nI note that the Acting Collector of Customs remarks in Enclosure No. 3 that fines will be imposed on vessels arriving from Hongkong on which opium is found unless it is shown that adequate steps were taken to prevent its being placed aboard while in the harbour at Hongkong. This of course is very difficult to prevent entirely and in this connection you will observe in Paragraph 6 of the Governor's letter the steps which are taken by the Hongkong Authorities to prevent the illegal exportation of opium which seem to be of a very thorough nature. \n\nMessrs. Smith, Bell and Co. suggest in their letter as a remedy (See Enclosures 2 and 3) for the suppression of opium smuggling that severer penalties should be imposed and this is a suggestion in which I heartily concur. \n\nI note with gratification that this principle has been recognised in the **\"Opium Amendment Ordinance 1913\"** issued", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-401 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 443223, "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": "CO129-401 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [5-6]", "page_number": 261, "title": "CO129-401 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [5-6]", "content_text": "## Conditions for Lot 239 and Inland Lot 1355\n\n(f).

The people are now reduced to poverty and the town already bears evidence of decline, which appears to show that the trade has really suffered a fatal blow. A small quantity is still smuggled in by the small roads in the Yuan-chou district and distributed from Hung-chiang with the greatest precaution, but the most liberal estimate places the amount annually introduced at about one-tenth of that originally dealt with.\n\nIt will be extremely difficult to eliminate the trade in, and the consumption of, opium from centres such as this, and the slightest relaxation of official measures will probably lead to the recrudescence of a trade in which officials, farmers, merchants, and people have so great a stake.\n\nThroughout the journey we received the greatest courtesy from the officials and gentry, who did their best to ensure our comfort and to afford us protection. Vigorous efforts were made at first to hamper my movements, to confine me to the main roads, and to prevent my penetration into the tribal country. I was inclined to attribute this to a fear that poppy might be discovered in the loosely administered mountain country. The result of a careful search, however, appeared to show that official opposition was dictated either by the anxiety of the local officials for our safety or by the natural reluctance of our Chinese colleagues to undergo the hardships of a mountain tour. We walked most of the way, after abandoning our ponies and finding our sedan chairs too exciting, but to the Chinese delegates, unaccustomed as they are to any form of exercise, the exhausting marches and the comfortless nights proved a terrible experience. The fact that they completed the tour in a friendly and helpful spirit was therefore very gratifying.\n\nTo sum up the results of the tour, we have conducted a searching examination of the province of Hunan, and we have neither seen any poppy nor obtained any evidence of cultivation. The campaign of destruction has evidently been carried over several years, and although a certain amount was sown this year in the remoter districts, in the mountains and in tribal country, I am of opinion that little, if any, remains, and that a certain amount of the heroic measures of the last few months have been successful. Smuggling from the neighbouring provinces still continues, but it is inconsiderable and decreasing. A certain number of people still use the drug, but the high prices and the severe punishments meted out to smokers have had far-reaching results.\n\nHunan is in a favourable position for the elimination of the drug, in that it is fertile and prosperous, other crops being economically possible in most of the country, though the mountain districts will suffer considerable loss from the campaign. The agricultural and mineral wealth of the province is so marked, however, and the water transport is generally so good, that the province will be better able than many of the other provinces to tide over any loss in connection with the opium trade, should the present policy continue. At the same time, the high prices of the drug now prevailing, and the demand which still exists, will form a great temptation to producers, and the least slackening of the repressive measures may lead to an immediate recrudescence of cultivation.\n\nThe student-class in the big towns of Hunan are reported to be really desirous of eliminating the drug, and they have voiced their opinions through the medium of the press. The bulk of the people, however, are frankly interested in it, either as producers, consumers, or tax-collectors, and they constantly expressed the opinion that the drug could never be entirely abolished. A number of the gentry, the most powerful element in the province, remarked one day that the question at issue was surely that of Italian opium, not of opium pure and simple, and I have little doubt that he expressed the general opinion of the people of Hunan. Whatever may be their motive, however, there is definite evidence for the moment of a sincere desire on the part of the Government to free the province from the cultivation of the poppy and, after an experience of the opium question in several other provinces, I am able to report that Hunan has dealt with the problem with unexpected thoroughness and success.\n\n**ARCHIBALD ROSE**\n\nMay 25, 1913\n\n## Enclosure 3 in No. 1\n\n### Report on Journey in Hunan (Eastern Section)\n\nA careful search and exhaustive enquiries have alike failed to disclose the existence of any poppy crop this season.\n\nMy investigation began at Ch'i-yang Hsien, which was reached from Changsha viâ Pao-ching Fu, and ended at Hsiang-Yin Hsien, 40 miles due north of Changsha. The journey falls into five distinctive divisions, which are as follows:\n\n| Division | Route | Distance (li) | Distance (miles) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | Ch'i-yang Hsien to Liang Tien | 415 | 1384 |\n| 2 | Liang Tien to Kwei-yang Hsien | 165 | 55 |\n| 3 | Kwei-yang Hsien to Lung Tang | 205 | 683 |\n| 4 | Lung Tang to P'ing-chiang Hsien | 785 | 261 |\n| 5 | P'ing-chiang Hsien to Hsiang-Yin Hsien | 185 | 613 |\n\nThe first division comprises lands which are favourable to poppy growing, and which have produced poppy in former years to a considerable extent.\n\nThe second is a fair example of those remote and outlying districts in which the poppy is generally supposed to be still in evidence. The path I travelled was an unfrequented one—well away from the beaten track.\n\nIn the third stage, my road ran parallel to the Kiangsi border at a distance of 10 miles from it. The lands passed through were mountainous border lands with cultivated valleys.\n\nThe fourth division comprises border districts, but of more open and less mountainous aspect.\n\nThe fifth stage surveys the country from the Kiangsi border district of P'ing-chiang Hsien, eastwards to a point 40 miles due north of Changsha.\n\n### Poppy Cultivation\n\nPoppy was successfully grown in the season 1911-12 in some of the districts through which I have passed; in others, the officials intervened, the crop was torn up, and the grower punished. At P'ing-chiang Hsien, for instance, in April 1912, a grower was fined 1,000 tiao (about 720 dollars) and his crop destroyed.\n\nDuring the summer of 1912, proclamations were issued and notables sent round to impress on the local officials, elders, and landowners of the province that no poppy would be tolerated in the coming season, and that the provincial authorities would shrink from no extremity of action to ensure the final freedom of the province from opium.\n\nSince November last (the sowing season), all the districts through which I have passed have been visited from time to time by search parties of soldiers, with orders to root up any poppy found, to arrest the growers, and to shoot down all opposition. A landowner in the Chien-chou district was shot in January 1913 under such circumstances, though I understand that he was the victim of a false accusation.\n\nSecrecy of cultivation is scarcely possible, conditions being such as they are in country districts in China; and discovery was rendered doubly sure by the offer of rewards to informers, and by the posting up of boxes for the receipt of anonymous denunciations.\n\nThe Tzu Chih Chu (local government councils) and the Tuan Tsung (militia captains) have been made collectively and individually responsible for their districts. And finally, notables have been sent out periodically by the General Opium Suppression Bureau. The activity of this bureau has rendered impossible any apathy on the part of the district officials; and this result has been assisted by the fact that since the revolution, local authority is vested no longer in one man, but is divided between three officials respectively: the magistrate, the judicial officer, and the commandant of the local troops.\n\nPoppy cultivation in this province is only possible, in my opinion, where the local landowners are in a position to defy their officials; in none of the districts visited by me does such a state of affairs exist. All these districts are well supplied with troops of the regular army, and are within easy reach of the provincial capital.\n\n`[2965 q-1]`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-406 - Public Offices - 1913.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 445623, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-406 - Public Offices - 1913", "page_number": 94, "title": "CO129-406 - Public Offices - 1913", "content_text": "# Foreign \nکو \n1913 \n5 Aug \nLast previous Paper. \n26153 \nauf \nJing \nCornes W. \nTo For tel caus \nBia 70 \ny any \nof 9 \nواضحه \n`(68,131)`.

I BEG to acknowledge receipt of your letter informing me that energetic progress has been made in the prohibition of poppy cultivation in Fukien, and that the work has now met with complete success. You request me to assist you by reporting (to the British Government) the strenuous efforts which we have made to get rid of the drug.\n\nThe whole world admires the loftiness of the meritorious desire to set in order the evil customs of an abuse to get rid of those who have wandered from the path and are on the \"black list,\" to change a fiery pit into a lotus field, to remove a dreadful poison, and reform its victims. Your association has my warm sympathy and felicitations, and I have long ago reported to my Government as to the methods adopted in prohibiting opium. Now that I have received your letter I shall be happy to report from time to time as to the future progress of your work, in order to assist you in the good work which you have undertaken, to exhibit virtue, and to conform with your desire.\n\nEnclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nMr. Alston to Wai-chiao Pu.\n\n(Compliments.)\n\nMR. ALSTON has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the memorandum, dated the 7th July, from the Wai-chiao Pu requesting him to consent to the prohibition of the import of Indian opium into the provinces of Chekiang and Fukien.\n\nIn regard to Chekiang, Sir John Jordan wrote on the 29th May that the evidence in his possession would not justify him in placing the province on the prohibition list until he had made fuller and more detailed enquiries, and that His Majesty's legation would communicate again with the Wai-chiao Pu on the receipt of reports from His Majesty's consuls at Hangchow and Ningpo, and on the 17th June Mr. Alston repeated the sense of Sir John Jordan's memorandum.\n\nReports have now been received from His Majesty's consulates at Hangchow and Ningpo, and Mr. Alston is unable to accept the statement of the Wai-chiao Pu in their memorandum of the 7th June that Chekiang had absolutely cleared herself of native opium.\n\nWhile regretting that he is unable to place Chekiang on the prohibition list forthwith, Mr. Alston is ready, in accordance with article 4 of the Opium Agreement of 1911, to arrange for a joint inspection of the conditions of opium cultivation and importation in that province next spring on the lines of the joint inspections carried out in Shantung, Anhui, and Hunan this year.\n\nIn regard to Fukien, Mr. Alston would state that the consular reports referred to in his memorandum of the 10th June are not yet to hand. On their receipt Mr. Alston will again communicate with the Wai-chiao Pu on the subject of their request to have this province included in the list of provinces into which Indian opium shall not be conveyed.\n\nPeking, July 28, 1913.\n\n(No. 7.) Sir,\n\n3\n\nEnclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nActing Consul Pearson to Mr. Alston.\n\nNingpo, June 13, 1913. IN reply to your despatch No. 4 of the 29th May last, instructing me to furnish information on the attempts of the local Chinese authorities to suppress the cultivation and import of native opium, I have the honour to report that, upon receipt of your circular letter to all British missionaries within my district calling for information on the subject, the response was very meagre, and may be summarised as follows:-\n\nProclamations have been issued in numbers, but it would seem that in the outlying districts opium has been under cultivation to some extent during the spring, although strenuous efforts towards suppression have been made by the local officials.\n\nIn the neighbourhood of Ningpo itself the suppression has been very thoroughly carried out, and I am informed by Dr. Score Browne, of the Church Missionary Society hospital here, that after enquiries among his patients and workers he is unable to elicit any information as to the growth of any opium in the adjacent country, and that although it is surmised that a certain quantity is smuggled into the province from Shanghai for local consumption, there is no definite information on this point.\n\nOpium smokers are scarcely met, although Dr. Score Browne was requested in April to open an opium refuge at Leh-ko-lu for thirty patients. He added in his letter on the subject:\n\n\"On all sides I hear that opium smokers are being compelled to abandon their habits.\"\n\nIn a letter from Archdeacon W. S. Moule, D.D., he stated :-\n\n\"I have just returned from Hangchow, where I distributed your circular letter to the members of our mission, and asked them to communicate direct with you. As regards Ningpo, I should say that opium growing is completely suppressed in the country round here. In the city of Tzuchi, which used to be full of opium shops, these have entirely disappeared. One hears of hospitals being opened in several places for smokers who are breaking off their habits.\n\nOn the other hand, one hears that a good deal of opium is smuggled in and smoked in secret. This is, I suppose, to be expected.\n\n\"There have been several stringent prohibitions against both the growing and smoking of opium posted at the city gates, but I have not secured copies.\n\n\"I should say that there can be little doubt of the sincerity of the provincial Government to suppress the practice.\"\n\nAs a comment on the above, I may mention that no actual seizure of smuggled opium has been made by the customs at Ningpo for several months.\n\nI have personally questioned all of the provisional Chinese officials with whom I have come in contact, and have been assured, without exception, that opium smoking has been absolutely suppressed within the immediate neighbourhood of Ningpo itself.\n\nAs to the outlying districts, the history of the attempt at suppression is as follows:-\n\nLinghai-In December of last year an official was sent from Hangchow to supervise the suppression of cultivation. He found a large tract of country, accessible only by very difficult mountain routes, well planted with poppy, accompanied by 100 troops from Haimen, forced the cultivators to root up the crop, but this was not accomplished until one of them, a literate, had been shot, and a riot had ensued, during which the soldiers were deprived of their guns. The arms were returned, but subsequently the gentry became panic-stricken and apologised. They stated that they were powerless to prevent the cultivation by the farmers. The deputy returned to Haimen. The commandant telegraphed to Hangchow for further troops, and with the Linghai magistrate and opium deputy proceeded to the spot with 200 soldiers, a demonstration which has proved effective.\n\nTaiping. At Taiping an example was made of ten of the leading literati who were known to be smokers. They were summoned to the yamên by the magistrate and ...\n\nB 2 [1836 8-8-1]\n\n248", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-406 - Public Offices - 1913.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 445968, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-406 - Public Offices - 1913", "page_number": 439, "title": "CO129-406 - Public Offices - 1913", "content_text": "Foreign \n\n1913 \n\n31 Dec \n\nHONG KONG \n\n5 13/14 \n\n437 \n\n5 \n\nJAN 14 \n\nLighting of Paracels Reef \n\nLeeds \n\nсоку \n\nletter to Imperial \n\nstating \n\nLast previous Paper.

The German army then\n\noccupied a strong position behind the river Aisne where an enor-\n\nmous and probably the decisive battle is being fought. As far\n\nas the result can be foreseen, the battle will be favourable to\n\nthe German arms.\n\nThe German army had lost, up to September 14th, altogether\n\n55,000 killed, wounded and prisoners. On the other hand, there\n\nare now more than 500,000 prisoners in Germany, amongst them\n\nabout 9,000 British, 100,000 French, 150,000 Russians and 50,000\n\nBelgians.\n\nThe losses at sea, so far, are as follows: The British\n\nfleet has lost the armoured cruisers Monmouth (9,550 tons) and\n\nWarrior (18,750 tons), the cruisers Amphion (8,500 tons), Path-\n\nfinder (8,000 tons) and Amethyst (3,050 tons), the mine layer\n\nSpider and several destroyers.

The road will connect the village of Sha Kong Hui situated at Deep Bay, with the main road from Castle Peak to Fan Ling, and is necessary for the proper policing of the district.\n\nItem 79 is a contribution of $1,000 by the Government, being one-third of the cost of a bridge which is being erected by the villagers over the Shatin River.

This large increase is only apparent, as the expenditure for the current year which was estimated at $481,000 will probably be exceeded by a sum of $107,600, so that the estimated expenditure for next year, which has been framed with a view to avoiding the necessity for supplementary votes, is rather lower than the expenditure for the current year.\n\nIn the estimates for next year an important change has been made by including under the heads \"Buildings\" and \"Communications\" special votes for improvements.\n\n## Public Works, Extraordinary\n\nWith regard to Hongkong under the heading \"Buildings\" the sums provided for the first fourteen items are to complete the works mentioned therein.\n\nUnder Item 15 a sum of $60,000 has been provided for commencing the erection of quarters for certain married European Subordinate Officers, for which it is proposed to charge rent.\n\nThis is an entirely new policy on the part of the Government, and has been brought about by the very high rents which have to be paid in Hongkong and which weigh heavily on officers with families.\n\nIt is estimated that the rents which are to be charged will yield a fair return on the capital expended. An excellent site at the back of Leighton Hill has been selected for the quarters, of which there will be twelve, six containing five rooms and six containing four rooms in the form of flats.\n\nItem 16. — Housing of European Subordinate Officers, $50,000. The total estimate of $80,000 includes a sum of $30,000 for an addition to the Harbour Office Buildings, which will contain on the ground floor a new Liquors Office and on the first and second floors quarters for two married or four single Revenue Officers. The quarters now in occupation at Breezy Point have proved entirely satisfactory.\n\nItem 17 refers to much needed extension of the Central Police Station, details of which will be laid before you when you consider the Estimates.\n\nUnder the heading \"Communications\" a further extension of the road from Victoria Gap to High West is provided for at a cost of $10,000. It has been decided to call this road \"Lugard Road\" after the late Governor. A sum of $36,000 is provided for completing the road from Aberdeen to Deep Water Bay. The road will be twenty feet in width with easy gradients.\n\nA sum of $60,000 is provided for paving the main roads in the City of Victoria in accordance with a scheme which you will remember was contained in the Report of the Public Works Committee dated the 2nd March, 1914, and laid before this Council on the 4th June, 1914. The scheme has received the approval of the Secretary of State, and it is proposed to make a beginning next year.\n\nProvision has also been made for a pathway from Kennedy Road to Macdonnell Road, the want of which has been much felt, for an improvement of the sharp corner at the bottom of Garden Road, and for a path from Queen's Road East to Kennedy Road to give access to sites which have been sold recently in that neighbourhood.\n\n## Drainage\n\nYou will observe that under Item 26 a considerable sum is to be devoted to training nullahs and for Miscellaneous Drainage Works.\n\n## Miscellaneous\n\nUnder this head a sum of $8,000 is provided for another telephone cable across the harbour. The capacity of the present cable is already taxed almost to the utmost, and with the continued extension of the telephone system in Kowloon and the New Territories it has become necessary to provide a new eight-core cable.\n\nA sum of $3,000 is required for continuing the survey of the Colony, and $1,000 for purchase of boundary stones, under a new system whereby the stones are paid for by the Government and sold as required.\n\nThe improvements to the record-room in the Colonial Secretary's Office, for which a sum of $1,200 is provided, consist of rendering half the present library fireproof, and it is intended to place there the more valuable records of the Colony in order to preserve them from destruction.\n\nItem 45 Resumption of Piers $10,500 is the first step towards improving the ferry services between Hongkong and Yaumati and Shamshuipo. A Bill dealing with the scheme, which is the outcome of the report of a Committee appointed by me early in the year to consider this important subject, will be laid before you shortly.\n\nPage 120\n\nThe Director of Public Works will be glad to show you the plans of the road programme when you consider the Estimates. The section now provided for is that from Ta Ku Ling to join the Fan Ling-Shataukok road.\n\n## Kowloon\n\nTurning now to Kowloon, a new market is provided for at Shamshuipo at a cost of $18,000 and an extension to the Kowloon British School of two classrooms costing $7,500.\n\nA sum of $6,500 is provided for certain necessary additions to the Royal Observatory.\n\nItem 56 represents an extension of the scheme of Rented Quarters, to which I have already referred, and is intended to provide a building containing two flats in the grounds of the Royal Observatory for the Chief and First Assistants.\n\nItem 57 is for six quarters for European subordinates.\n\nUnder Lighting provision is made for a considerable extension including a row of lamps down the middle of Salisbury and Nathan Roads. Under \"Miscellaneous\" a sum of $212,000 is provided to complete the Typhoon Refuge at Mongkoktsui, and a sum of $29,000 to complete the Repairing and Coaling Yard for Government Launches.\n\nThe item of $1,000 for resumption of piers is in connection with the improvement of the ferry service to which I have already alluded.\n\nA new filter bed, which is much needed, is provided for at a cost of $18,000.\n\n## New Territories\n\nUnder Buildings provision is made for completing the Police Station at Lok Ma Chau and for beginning the erection of a station at Ta Ku Ling.\n\nA market at Tai O is provided for at a cost of $4,500.\n\nUnder Communications you will observe that under Item 78 (b), (c), (d), and (e) it is proposed, if the Secretary of State approves, to embark on a large programme of road construction, and widening of existing roads. After careful consideration it has been decided that a minimum width of formation of twenty feet should be adopted for all new roads.\n\nItem 78 (f) provides for the improvement of a portion of the road from Kowloon to Taipo by cutting back the banks at sharp corners and improving the curves.\n\nItem 79 is a contribution of $1,000 by the Government, being one-third of the cost of a bridge, which is being erected by the villagers over the Shatin river.\n\nThe total sum which it is proposed to expend on Public Works Extraordinary is $2,229,785, exceeding the amount in the previous year by $98,985. The programme has been carefully revised, and works which were not of great urgency, although desirable, have been postponed. Notwithstanding this the total is higher than in any previous year, and so far as I am able to judge there is little hope of any considerable reduction until the completion of the Tytamtuk Scheme.\n\n## Post Office\n\nA sum of $1,440 has been entered for three additional 5th Grade Postal Clerks, who are required in connection with the establishment of branch Post Offices at Shaipingwan (likely \"Saiyingpun\"), Wantsai, and Yaumati. Provision has also been made for Radio-Telegraph Staff for the Wireless Station at Cape D'Aguilar and for the Staff at the General Post Office. The total under this head is $18,499, and a sum of $253 is provided for miscellaneous expenditure for the same purpose. The staff includes two 4th Grade Telegraphists, one 5th Grade Telegraphist (to be 4th Grade in 1915) and one Messenger, transferred from the Harbour Office.\n\n## Kowloon-Canton Railway\n\nThe Estimate of Revenue and Expenditure for 1915 is as follows: Earnings $435,600 and working expenses $323,455, leaving a balance of $112,145 net profit. Compared with the estimate for the current year this shows an increase of $10,754. The experiment of running night trains has been tried during this year, but has not proved successful. Footnote (3) to Appendix II shows the estimated result of next year's working. The deficit to be made up from General Revenue is $458,510 as against $469,264 last year.\n\n211", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-414 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 449674, "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": "CO129-414 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [10-11]", "page_number": 356, "title": "CO129-414 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [10-11]", "content_text": "861 Avenue\n\n8.

The first step is to identify any coherent text or structure within the given output.\n\n## Step 2: Look for recognizable patterns or text\nUpon closer inspection, certain patterns and words can be discerned, such as \"DRAFT\", \"MINUTE\", \"Gov. Way\", \"Mr. Beckett\", and \"Jan 16\". These suggest that the text might be related to a historical document or meeting minutes.\n\n## Step 3: Apply the rules for formatting and correction\nGiven the rules, the task involves correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, and reformatting the text into proper paragraphs and structures using Markdown.\n\n## Step 4: Reconstruct the text based on recognizable elements\nLet's start reconstructing the text based on the recognizable parts:\n- The presence of \"DRAFT\", \"MINUTE\", and names like \"Mr. Beckett\" suggests an official document.\n- \"Gov. Way\" and dates (\"Jan 16\", \"18-1-1\") indicate it might be related to government or official correspondence.\n\n## Step 5: Format the recognizable text\nGiven the fragments, a possible reconstruction could involve:\nDRAFT.\n\nMINUTE.\n\nGov.

Has decided that the deposit of ratifications may now take place.\n\n2. Has unanimously adopted the following resolution:--\n\nDesiring to pursue, in the path first entered on by the International Commission of Shanghai of 1909 and by the first Conference at The Hague of 1912, the progressive suppression of the abuse of opium, morphine, and cocaine, and of the drugs prepared or derived from these substances, and more than ever convinced of the necessity and on this matter, the Second International Opium Conference,\n\n(1.) Resolves that the Government of the Netherlands may be pleased to inform the Governments of Austria-Hungary, Norway, and Sweden that the signature, ratification, preparation of legislative measures, and the enforcement of the convention, constitute four distinct stages which allow these Powers to proceed at once to supplemental signature.\n\nIndeed, it is provided by articles 23 and 24 that a period of six months may elapse between the enforcement of the convention and the preparation of bills, regulations and other measures contemplated by the convention. Furthermore, the third paragraph of article 24 allows the contracting Powers to come to an agreement after ratification as to the date of the enactment of such legislative measures. It must be observed that the difficulties anticipated by Austria-Hungary, Norway, and Sweden, as regards their legislation, were foreseen by the delegates of the signatory Powers, and were, indeed, the subject of thorough examination by the twelve contracting Powers. Almost all the signatory Powers are in the same position as the above-mentioned Powers, and have not yet formulated all the measures contemplated by the convention.\n\n(2.) Resolves that the Government of the Netherlands may be pleased to communicate to the Governments of Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, Peru, Roumania, Servia, Turkey, and Uruguay, the following resolution:--\n\n\"The Conference regrets that certain Governments have as yet declined or failed to sign the convention. The Conference is of the opinion that the abstention of these Powers would prejudice most seriously the humanitarian ends sought by the convention. The Conference expresses the firm hope that these Powers will alter their negative or dilatory attitude.\"\n\n(3.) Resolves that the Government of the Netherlands may be pleased to inform the Swiss Government that they are mistaken in their belief that their co-operation will be almost valueless. Contrary to the view expressed in the letter of the Federal Council of the 25th October, 1912, the Conference believes that the co-operation of Switzerland will be most useful, while its abstention will jeopardise the results of the convention. As for the consideration advanced by the Federal Council concerning the respective fields of federal and cantonal legislation, it may be observed that similar difficulties confronted the first Conference, which took them into account while drafting the text of the convention.\n\n(4.) Invites the signatory Governments to instruct their representatives abroad to support the above-mentioned representations of their Netherlands colleagues.\n\n3.

In view of the fertility of our soil and the abundance of our productions, no one can fairly call China a poor country. Raiment, food, and lodging are all that humanity needs, and silver and gold are merely counters. But shortage of money implies lack of the medium of exchange, for without gold and silver the necessary counters are unavailable. Thus, in order to develop industry by means of the necessary capital, we must needs have recourse to our neighbours who possess an ample supply of the medium of exchange. When the resources of the land are exploited, there will be no waste soil and no unemployed. Hence after repayment of loans a surplus will accrue out of the gains made on the original capital. This is surely preferable to burying one's treasure and then bemoaning one's poverty? Hence I am anxious for the influx of foreign capital in order to develop our industries. \n\nThe introduction of foreign civilisation and capital is a cosmopolitan as well as a national policy, for the essence of world civilisation is simply to supply the deficiencies of others from our own surplus, so that society everywhere may benefit. Divisions between countries thus practically disappear, as Confucius meant when he spoke of universal harmony. China is now a republic and must rid herself of the antiquated notions appertaining to her period of seclusion. Our citizens who obey the law of their own land must needs know also the law which all nations hold in common; their intercourse with other nations they must beware of any prejudice towards foreigners in violation of right principle and resulting in severance, but must behave after civilised standards. \n\nThe attitude of foreign Powers towards us has of late been pacific and just; as occasion arose, they have often rendered us assistance, and while this affords an evidence of the civilisation of the world, we are none the less grateful to the friendly Powers for their good-will. It is essential that our citizens should appreciate this point and make a point of consolidating international friendships by manifestations of sincerity. I hereby declare that all treaties, conventions, and official engagements contracted by the former Manchu and the Provisional Government with foreign Governments shall be faithfully observed, also that all contracts duly concluded by the former Governments with foreign companies and individuals shall be strictly observed, and further that all privileges, rights, and special immunities enjoyed by foreign subjects in China by virtue of international engagements, national enactments, and established precedent are hereby definitely confirmed, so as to promote international amity and maintain harmonious relations. Our people must recognise that this is nothing less than a duty in international relations, since proof of genuine amity on our part must needs conduce to the exercise of mutual courtesy. \n\nSuch, then, are the main points of the declaration which I am making to the nation, but in order to amplify my meaning in the widest sense only one word is needed, namely, \"morality.\" This word is so comprehensive that even the greatest sages have failed to exhaust its whole significance in thousands upon thousands of words, but what I understand by the term may be briefly comprehended under the four characters, loyalty, trust, steadfastness, and sobermindedness. \n\nThe original meaning of loyalty is loyalty to the State and not to the individual. Only by making the stand of his loyalty the country and not confining it to one individual or House, can one assure the benefit of the race in preference to personal considerations of advantage. The pursuit of power must be disregarded and duty made the paramount consideration. The interests of the State must not be sacrificed for the selfish interest of one man. \n\nConfucius said: \"Without trust no nation can stand.\" Civilised nations look upon deceitful conduct with contempt and the stigma is even as a flogging administered in the public square. Washington, when a lad, thanks to his father's discipline, never uttered a lie. In the past China has always laid stress on trust and righteousness, but of late a sad degeneracy has set in and wild exaggeration has become a second nature. Without trust no man can stand upright: how much less a nation? Tseng Kuo-fan under the late dynasty remarked: \"The foundation of conduct is to tell the truth.\" Therefore trust is necessary in all our relations of life. What is steadfastness? Civilised countries spare no pains in preserving their national traditions and without impeding their advance on the path of progress will not allow a name or an institution to pass into oblivion. For China, Confucianism has always been a great moral safeguard and the changes and chances of 4,000 years have certainly left the essence of the doctrine secure from the ravages of time. But there are those who are deluded by theory and lightly forsake their own heritage. They indulge in high-flown catchwords without accomplishing any practical result; while abandoning their own national traditions they...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-416 - Public Offices - 1914.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 451059, "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": "CO129-416 - Public Offices - 1914", "page_number": 641, "title": "CO129-416 - Public Offices - 1914", "content_text": "**C.O.** \n23308 \n634 \n**REC** \n\nRea? 26 JUN 14 \n\n**Board of Trade,** \n**(Commercial Department),** \nGwydyr House, \nWhitehall, \nLondon, S.W. \n26 JUN 1914 \n\nKuth ...we, 1914. \n\nI am directed by the Board of Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your letters of the 20th and 23rd June (`Jon. 27587` and `27870`), with their enclosures, relative to the International Opium Conference. \n\nThe Board observe with regret that the ratification of the Convention by Germany may be made dependent not merely on the accession of Austria-Hungary (a matter respecting which they themselves considered some guarantee desirable) but of Turkey also.
