There are some that start regularly every day, one to Nan-tow, another to Tue-pang, and a third to Whampoa and Canton. The regularity of service to the other places there is perhaps twice a week. They carry on a great deal of trade, and always have small boats come here for exchange of their goods. More than two hundred enter every month. They have mostly all taken out a permit, and are numbered:\n\nThe larger importing boats are nearly all mandarin craft, being very numerously manned. In the sugar season, we have from 8 to 25 a month; this depends entirely upon the prices and the demand for the article.\n\nThe junks bound for this port, with cargoes from Formosa with camphor, from Maowgan and Chang-peo with alum, or from Amoy with salt. There is also some bound from vessels from Hue hong importing poultry and pigs. Latterly some from Hai nan have also made an attempt to dispose of provisions, but they will not be able to come during the winter.\n\nThe best trade now carried on at this place is that in salt. It is principally brought in smaller kind of junk from Tam shway and various other places of Kwei-shen district. There are seldom under 30 of these vessels at the East point anchorage, and they now and then amount to 40. The salt is bought here by fishermen for immediate use, or smuggled by Portuguese lorchas into the interior.\n\nRegular monthly returns are sent in by the salt-weigher.\n\nThe junks that touch here in their way the north or south are very numerous, varying from 10-70 vessels per month. They often take from here a good many goods for the adjacent harbours. The far greater number belongs to Pokeën, and next to them the Teo cheu junks. We have also had vessels from the Straits, which transhipped here their principal cargo to be carried to Canton. Only one junk...",

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

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

        "content_text": "# 12\n\nHONG KONG.\n\nREPORTS EXHIBITING THE PAST AND PRESENT\n\nEnclosure 12.\n\nMEMORANDUM on the JUNK TRADE of HONG KONG, during the Year 1851.\n\nVictoria, Hong Kong, 20th January 1852,\n\nChinese Secretary's Office.\n\nIt was explained in a Memorandum of the 14th March 1850, upon this subject, that no information, at all reliable, could be obtained respecting the native Junk Trade in any anchorage except that of Victoria.\n\nMonthly returns drawn up in the manner described in the same document show that in 1851 Victoria Harbour was visited by 1,004 Marine Junks, carrying sundry cargoes; an increase of nearly 20 per cent. upon the monthly average of 1850.\n\nThe monthly returns of the salt monopoly state an import of 280,300 piculs of that article in 543 junks. The quantity is not above four fifths of the import of 1850, and the far greater number of salt junks can only be accounted for by the fact that much of the salt has been imported by vessels carrying a mixed cargo. These have doubtless been included by the salt monopolist in his total of salt junks.\n\nIn the stone trade there is a slight increase; the monthly returns of the stone monopoly showing an export of 565 cargoes from the Colonial quarries.\n\nThe subjoined table will give some idea of the monthly progress of the native trade during the year under review. The larger portion of it by far is done by junks from small towns and villages along the coast of the Kwang Tung Province, east of the Canton River. These send areca nut, betel leaf,\n\nMarine Junks belonging to\nJanuary\nFebruary\nMarch\nApril\nMay\nJune\nJuly\nAugust\nSeptember\nOctober\nNovember\nDecember\nTotal\n\nTien-tsin\n\n7\n\nPuh-kien Coast,\n\n98\n1\n\nAmoy\n\n1\n\nFormosa\n\n786\n\nKwang Tung\n88\n268\n268\n29\n\n47\n\nCanton\n\n100\n000\n10\n1\n\n40\n\nKwang Tung West\n\n80\n54\n\n41\n\nHainan\n28,400\n40\n104\n17\n\n1\n\ng\n\n&\n\n113\n91\n44\n\n4\n\n24,500\n23,800\n23,800\n21,200\n19,700\n\n1\n\n90\n41\n60\n41\n\n1,004\n\nMonthly total of Salt Junks\n75\n46\n70\n\n83\n47\n\n543\n\nMonthly total of Imported Salt\n21,700\n41\n72\n40\n\n280,300\n\nMonthly total of Stone Cargoes exported\n24,500\n40\n76\n47\n24,300\n10\n101\n46\n24,000\n\n70\n41\n19,900\n562\n\ncharcoal, cotton, cloth, crockery, and ready-made clothes, new and second-hand, drugs, dried fruit, dried meat, eggs, firewood, grass-cloth, hams, hardware, iron, lard, linseed, livestock, nankeen, oil, potato flour, pease, coarse paper, rice, sugar, saltfish, salt, skins, sugar canes, shoes, silk, soy, tobacco leaf, vegetables, fresh and salted, wine and wheat.\n\nThe junks from Canton and the coast west of it bring much the same cargoes. The latter more properly speaking, belong to the districts along the west bank of the river.\n\nThe Tien-tsin junks brought rugs, cotton cloths, cotton, skins, deers horns, deers sinews, lams, dried fruits, pears, cabbages, pease, beans, wine, and drugs.\n\nThose of the Fuhkien coast and Amoy, alum, camphor, coal, salt, and sulphur, cotton, cotton cloth, grass cloth, nankeen, sheep skins, shoes, bricks, tea, sugar candy, pease, beans, and potato flour.\n\nA single junk from Formosa, coal and sulphur.\n\nThose from Hai-nán, bark, wood, rattans, sandalwood, skins, drugs, soy, salt beef and mutton, salt, barley, beans, rice, oil, cocoa nuts, areca nuts, live stock, dried fish, sharks fins, rock-suckers, and biche-de-mer.\n\nThe Cochin Chinese carried cloths, cotton yarns, rice, and drugs.\n\nThe three Siamese junks, nutmegs, Brazil wood, peppers, skins, areca nuts, bark, drugs,\n\nglasses, rattans, sandalwood, dried fish, rice, and biche-de-mer.\n\nThe four Singaporeans, the same, as also cotton yarns and opium.\n\nThe single Penang vessel, drugs, nutmegs, pepper, and sandalwood.\n\nThe Tien-tsin junks are said to take away opium in no small quantities, and much is of course carried in the Kwang Tung coast junks, some of which, belonging to the nearer ports, make as many as six voyages in the year to and from Hong Kong.\n\nThere is nothing to account for the great decrease of the salt imported. The stone trade is considerably above what it has been for the last two years, and the marine junk trade, which is of the chief consequence, better than it has been for the last three years; as will be seen by the following table :--\n\nJunks and Cargoes\n1848\n1849\n1850\n1851\n\nMarine, average per month\n80\n72\n83\n\n83\n\nSalt Junks\n524\n334\n456\n543\n\nImported, piculs salt\n207,050\n335,350\n345,050\n280,300\n\nStone junks\n777\n407\n\n562\n\n(Signed)\n\nTHOMAS WADE,\n\nAssistant Chinese Secretary.\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nEnclosure 13.\n\nLIST of WHALERS arrived in HONG KONG. 1851-1852.\n\nSTATE OF HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.\n\nVessels Names\nMasters\nWhere owned,\nAgents or Owners,\nMonths out\nSperm Oil, in Barrels of 31 Gallons old Measure\nWhale Oil, in Barrels of 314 Gallons old Measure\nBone\nArrived\nSailed,\nWhere bound\nConsignees in Hong Kong\n\nGeorge and Mary\n\n4,400\n\nDec.\n\nCruise\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nMetacom\n\n74,174\n\n4 Jan. 19\n\nCruise\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nHibernia\n\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nCondor\n\nFeb. 12\n\nCruise\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nStephania\n\nCruise\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nRhone\n\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nHercules\n\n244\n2194**\n\nMount Wollaston\n\nNew Bedford\n\nMorca\n\nHobomok\n\nHarvest\n\nSt. George\n\nFrancis\n\nWilliam Hamilton\n\nGeneral Pike\n\nFriends\n\nBrougham\n\nWashington Roman\n\nIllinois\n\nCharles\n\nCarrol\n\nAdeline\n\nCossack\n\nMalherbe\n\nHavre\n\nTaber\n\nAllen\n\nMiller\n\nPhillips\n\nGraham\n\nBailey\n\nHammond\n\nWeaver\n\nSwift\n\nWing\n\nWoodbridge\nHathaway\n\nNew Bedford\n\nG.

He saw the Master of the boat take a Foreigner's person and watch from the cabin and give it to his wife. They then lifted him up and threw him overboard. The course was then altered to the Broque where they arrived at Shaw kow the following morning. Perkins' boxes were opened and thrown overboard. Witness examined the boat then in custody. Some of the boards were scraped and rubbed over with some greasy substance (a bad odour emitted). Just then, figures were handed to Witness - three brand marks 1329 - they are issued from such as are at the Register General's office to boats at Hongkong - and some clothes, three pocket handkerchiefs marked George Perkins.

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

Why the Gaol brigade.\n\nThey step well together, and they carry their arms as if they know how to use them, neither of which assertions can be made of the rest of the police force.\n\nAnd what does this smart active clearly appear to arise from, but from discipline.\n\nThey are in barracks; they have good wholesome food: they are properly drilled, and the result follows, which always follows when men are well cared for, and well disciplined.\n\nA contemporary recommends a mounted patrol.\n\nThe Times are serious, and perhaps it might cheer the spirits of the colonists to see a mounted policeman with his trousers half way up his leg. his legs swaying backwards and forwards like pendulums, in what the equestrian, audaciously, imagines is rising to the trot of the bony police charger; while by his side clatters a word, that he could not draw—or use if he drew.\n\nWe have no fault to find with the policeman, nor with Janier Burton, who captured the two lads, nor with his superiors who were trying to see out a\n\nWe record without either regret or astonishment the above event.\n\nIt is another sign and are we less amused at the figure of certain superior officers who lean back to prevent the jar of the canter on their spinal column.\n\nAmusement is sometimes very useful, and we expect that amusement would be the extent of the utility of a mounted patrol.\n\nWe have given serious advice about the police, and finding that of no avail we have attacked them by ridicule; but they are thick-skinned animals, and we fear we are far from having pricked them into watchfulness by our sting.\n\nWe will not give up our task however, knowing how much depends on the vigilance of the police, and as vigilance is not natural in them, as it certainly is not, we shall try and establish it as an exotic which perhaps with due care may become a thriving plant.\n\nFirst then, the whole system of the police is wrong.\n\nThe day duty extends from six o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock at night, and night duty from ten o'clock at night until six o'clock in the morning.\n\nAll the changes of the day and night duty being effected from the central police station.\n\nThe hours of patrolling of each constable on night service is for the whole extent of the time.—night hours.\n\nWe believe this is the London system; and may for anything we know answer very well there; and perhaps it would answer very well here, if all the conditions were the same as they are in London, which they are not.\n\nOfficers,\n\nServants\n\nHank & Pike\n\nArtificers,\n\nFollowers 22, servants 18,\n\nDATA.\n\n2. 37.N.T Art.N.L\n\nDepartures.\n\nNovember 28th Armitage, for Shanghai: 23, Countess of Rarfield, for Shanghae; December,\n\n8, Mencide, fur Sigita\n\nThe amount of bills drawn by the East India Company on their respective Presidencies, from the 26th ult. to the 9th inst, is as follows:-\n\n£  s. d.\n\nBengal......442,920 12\n\nRate of Exchange. 91 2.

The whole operation was effected with a loss of two men of the Fifty-ninth killed and about six wounded; the latter are doing, worth attention.\n\nOn the 14th I went over to the E-sing shop to have conversation with Ahlam about that contract only\n\nQuestion—Then Sir, do you mean to say you did not know that E-Bing had a bakery near the American Naval Store.\n\nAnswer—What have I to do as an Editor of Newspaper with B-ring's stores.\n\nI wanted to say that I know of a bakery being near the Dutch Fallyly were repulsed, and the Admiral bombarded the city from the Fort and the Niger\n\nOn Sunday night, the 18th instur, an attack against foreigners, us against their own Government, was made by large force of Chinese on the Dutch Fallyly were repulsed, and the Admiral bombarded the city from the Fort and the Niger\n\nIt is a remonstrance made by, know that E-Bing had a bakery near the American Naval Store.\n\nRead, however, distinctively, it shews the prejudices which have to be overcaico before English: Commerce can again take its fitting intration of laying, be had only put it up to deceive the mandrains, who had been troubling him.\n\nI told him, the garden and, after establishing his quarters in Jous WAY-fam stoward the Sultana, I know the Tee-to-tum fort, came down here on the 23d\n\nMARKETA—Notwithstanding the warlike operations which have been carried on since the departure of the Calcutta steamer on the 28 ult.

I was a little in advance of the main body, forty yards.\n\n\"Jones\" I called to one of the two nearest Convicts to stop but he continued to pull - the Convict boatmen pulled as hard as they could as if they were pulling for a race - the Convicts pulling the boat got to the opposite shore about three minutes before my boat arrived.\n\nJones and Turnkey landed. The Convicts in our boat were Short sentence men and in reply to my question said they would not run. I trusted them, and Jones and I went in pursuit of the escaping Convicts who were ascending the hill. I could see that they had a musket and two revolvers with them.\n\nI cut at him with my Sword and wounded him in both arms he turned and made a blow at me with a hard wood Carrying poke but was partially broken in strength by an Chinese bamboo hat that I had picked up, having lost my Cap - the blow inflicted a Contusion on my forehead (exhibits the wound on my forehead).\n\nAt that instant Turnkey Jones approached and fired at the Convict who was attacking me, wounding him in the back.",

        "content_text": "# Jn 275\n\nTo His EXCELLENCY SIR HERCULES G. R. ROBINSON, Knight, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same.\n\nThis Memorial of Residents in the Colony of Hongkong humbly Sheweth: That the Memorialists whose names are hereto subscribed respectfully lay before Your Excellency their anxious desire that the Law of Limited Liability of Shareholders in Joint Stock Companies as prevailing in England may be carried into effect in this Colony.\n\n2\\. Your Memorialists are aware that an Ordinance embodying this principle and described as the \"Companies' Ordinance of 1864\" was lately rejected on its second reading in the Legislative Council by a majority of one vote, but your Memorialists are led to believe that this circumstance simply arose from a misapprehension of the views held on this important question by the great majority of this Community.\n\n3\\. Your Memorialists are deeply interested in the prosperity of the Colony and are convinced that its welfare can be largely promoted by Joint Stock Associations formed for the purpose of carrying out such enterprises as cannot be undertaken by single individuals or by Mercantile firms. And your Memorialists clearly perceive that such combinations of private Capital can only be attained through the influence of a measure which will limit responsibility of Shareholders to a fixed extent.\n\n4\\. It is most respectfully submitted by your Memorialists that there always is in this place and in the neighbouring Ports of China a certain accumulation of private means not actively used in Commerce, and which could in many ways be advantageously employed were the desired Law in force. There is also a large stream of wealth constantly leaving China, some of which would assuredly remain here for permanent investment, by means of the facilities created under the operation of the said Law. An amount of outside Capital would thus be attracted to the Colony which would greatly stimulate its industrial character. It is moreover highly probable that nearly all the public Companies at the open Ports of China, would in course of time, avail of the privilege of registration in this Colony which would thus become the Official Head Quarters of many important enterprises, and attain a more eminent position in connection with the trade of China than belongs to it now.\n\n6\\. Lastly your Memorialists confidently believe that there is nothing exceptional in the character of Hongkong as a place of business, so as to render it unfit to possess the desired facility for local enterprise, and your Memorialists earnestly pray Your Excellency to consider with favour this petition, and again lay before the Legislative Council the \"Ordinance of 1864,\" together with this prayer of the Inhabitants that the said Ordinance may become the Law of this Colony. \"Companies' And Petitioners humbly pray, &c.,\n\nyour\n\nGeorge J.

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

        "content_text": "# DAILY PRESS- 4th APRIL, 1868.\n\n## The Chamber of Commerce Meeting.\n\nA general meeting of this Chamber was held yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, for the purpose of considering the effect of the present system of Licensed Gambling on the Trade of the Colony. The following members were present: Mr. Ryrie, occupying the chair, Messrs. Taylor, Hitchcock, B. Pallanjee, Rowatt, Lapraik, Kaye, Macauley, Zimmern, Pyke, Duncanson, Deacon, Bosman.\n\nIn opening the meeting, the **Chairman** said that they would have all seen from the circular what was the object for which they had met to-day, and before the resolutions which he understood had been prepared were put to the meeting, he should, with their leave, say a few words. He confessed that when the question of licensing gambling in this colony was first mooted, he was of opinion that it would not do any harm, and that it might be the means of doing some good; but since the system had been in operation, and instances of its evil influence had come under his personal knowledge, he had seen reason to alter his opinion, and he now thought that it was a system which was working an incalculable amount of harm, and that the Government of this colony would be studying its best interests by abolishing it altogether. During the last two or three months, he had made it a point of asking the opinion of nearly every respectable Chinese with whom he had come in contact, and they one and all denounced the system as one which was creating much mischief to the trade of the colony, and this was the ground on which it came within the province of the Chamber to endeavour to abolish it—that is, of course, if the information the other members had obtained led them to the same conclusion as that to which he had arrived. He understood that one member of the Chamber was in possession of information showing that the gambling had diminished very materially the number of traders with small means—men who were in the habit of buying 20, 30, or up to 50 pieces of shirtings, and taking them for sale to the various towns and villages in the neighbourhood. These men, seduced by the allurements of the gambling hells, had abandoned their former occupation, and taken to the less laborious and seductive, although risky, occupation of gambling. He must say that this view of the case had only been put before him by one or two of his Chinese friends. The great evil which he would urge, and the one which they already had, and could obtain more ample proof of, was the number of robberies from employers by shroffs and others engaged in collecting money, and he felt confident that many of the robberies would not have been committed were there not these public gambling-houses invitingly open. On this ground alone, he meant the danger to which the monies of persons in trade were exposed, he thought it was the duty of the Chamber to express a strong opinion against the system. On the bad moral effects of the system, he need not enter, as the views on this head had already met able exponents. The Lord Bishop of Victoria, and he believed the whole clergy in the colony, of all denominations, were entirely opposed to licensed gambling. It had been said that it is utterly impossible to stop gambling altogether. But the same might be said of any other crime or evil practice, and would it, therefore, be an argument to do away with police entirely? Certainly not. A good deal has been said of late about the great efficiency of our police, and if that really was the case, he considered that with the assistance which the better class of the Chinese community would gladly give, gambling could be almost entirely prevented, and, in any case, it could be reduced to such a small compass that it could be only carried on in out-of-the-way dens, which would be resorted to by the very dregs of the population. He then said he should leave the matter in their hands, to give such expressions of opinion and pass such resolutions as they might think fit.\n\nMr. TAYLOR said that being the proposer of the present meeting, and that this matter should be brought before the Chamber, he now wished to offer a resolution, which he would introduce with a few remarks. He had found in his experience that it was a very difficult thing to get correct information from the Chinese. When questioned on any subject, they almost always first endeavoured to find out what you wanted to get at, and then endeavoured to reply in such a manner as they supposed would please you. More especially was this the case, he thought, when they were dealing with any persons in authority. With this fact in view, he could not but think but that the Governor had been misinformed when making inquiries, and in this way had been led into the measure which all respectable Chinese condemned as most pernicious. In all the inquiries that he had made lately on the subject of the gambling ordinance, he had received but one emphatic answer from the Chinese, and that was that it was bad. The removal of the fear of apprehension and punishment could, he thought, have but one result, and that was to very widely and indiscriminately increase gambling in the colony. There were now a set of men in existence who endeavoured to attract as many to the gambling table as possible; these were the gambling farmer and his associates, for it was notorious that the present farm was carried on by a joint-stock company, and it was their interest to encourage legitimate gambling to the greatest possible extent. The Government found this man and his associates a very convenient tool, but it could hardly be expected that he would serve the Government any further than his own interests were directly concerned. He had first to make the sum of $260,000 to pay his fee, and a commensurate income with this must be over $100,000, a sum of money that represented a vast amount of misery, and one which, if employed in legitimate trade, would do much to dispel the pernicious vice. Within his own personal knowledge, he knew of the direst effects of this ordinance, some of which he would mention. His compradore could no longer trust a shroff to go out alone to collect money, on account of the attractions offered by the gambling-houses, and he was now obliged to send out two, hoping that one would be a check upon the other. The Chinese were complaining on every side, but above this was to be considered the temptations that were offered to others of quite a different class. There were owners of ships in both England and America who were in the habit of entrusting the captains in their employ with large sums of money, and if these places were open, these men did and would go into them, and what, he would ask, might be the temptation to risk large sums that did not belong to them and perhaps lose? There could be no question, but that Licensed Gambling was most injurious to the trade of this colony, as many had found out by dear-bought experience. He would offer the following resolution: “It is the opinion of the Chamber that licensed gambling is affecting the trade of the colony injuriously by encouraging dishonesty amongst large portions of the native population engaged in business and amongst the native employés of foreign firms.”\n\nMr. HITCHCOCK, in rising to second this resolution, said that, unfortunately, owing to the fact of there being no custom-house or official returns of the trade of the colony, it was impossible to find out with any certainty what effect this legalised vice was having upon trade. In the absence, therefore, of official data, they had to fall back upon information gathered from the natives themselves, and he would relate some that had come within his knowledge. He had questioned a very respectable and intelligent Chinese merchant as to what he thought about gambling, and had received in reply that he thought it was very bad. He could not estimate how bad the effects were, but he could say they were so bad that he could not estimate them. Trade, to his knowledge, had fallen off 25 per cent among the small traders, who had no doubt given up their business because they thought they could make an easier living at gambling. They also found a great deal of dishonesty among their shroffs and employés. One shroff he had known of was sent to collect $6,000. Having obtained the money, he stopped on his way back at a gambling-house, and there lost $690 of this very money. Mr. Hitchcock mentioned another instance of which he himself knew. The shroff of a very large steamer running between here and Shanghai was found with a large deficit in his cash account a short time since, and on inquiring into the matter, it was found that gambling had been the cause.",

His Royal Highness then ascended the dais prepared for him in the Reception Room, and the private Entrée, at which the higher Officials, Civil and Military, were presented, commenced. The Prince was observed to address a few words to the Senior Naval Officer of the U.S. Navy, and it was understood that he expressed to that gentleman his sympathy with two of the sailors on board the U.S.N.S. Iroquois, who had been injured while firing the salute on his landing, an event which caused general regret, but which was fortunately the only contre-temps that occurred during the Royal visit.\n\nThe general Levée followed, and upwards of three hundred gentlemen, representing several nationalities, were presented to His Royal Highness. His Excellency Vice-Admiral De Souza, the Governor of Macao, and Suite, arrived about this time, and were received by the Prince with much cordiality, His Excellency remaining till the termination of the Levée on the dais beside Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell at the right hand of the Prince. The effect produced by the splendid suite of Rooms in which the Reception took place and the number of British and Foreign uniforms, Civil, Military, and Naval, was the subject of general remark.\n\nWhen the Levée was over, but in the presence of almost all who had attended it, Thomas Pyke, Esq., entered at the head of the Committee appointed to present an Address on behalf of the general Community of Hongkong. The Address, with the Prince's reply, which was delivered with much feeling, will be found in the Appendix, (B).\n\n(13)\n\nThe Parsee deputation was next introduced. Mr. D. Ruttunjee, who had been selected as spokesman, expressed the sentiments of reverence which he and those whom he represented entertained towards Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family, including His Royal Highness, and begged permission to read an Address, which he did in a particularly clear and distinct manner. Vide Appendix, (C).\n\nThe Registrar General, (who is also Protector of Chinese) the Honorable Cecil C. Smith, at the head of a deputation of the Chinese Community, next appeared, and requested His Royal Highness to accept the very respectful Address which they had drawn up as an expression of their admiration and affection for himself, and as a token of their appreciation of the laws and institutions of this portion of Her Majesty's dominions, where they had found a home.\n\nThis was one of the marked incidents of the occasion; several of the Native gentlemen presented being apparelled, after the fashion of Mandarins, in long silk robes, and decorated with peacock's feathers, and making obeisance after the most approved rules of propriety; and the Address which they presented being very elaborately composed, both as to wording and external appearance. It was of rich yellow satin, lined with crimson damask silk, and was about three yards in length and one in breadth. The outer edge of six inches or more was embroidered with the Imperial Dragons (with five claws) worked in gold thread; and within this border was one somewhat narrower made of flowers, and peacocks and other birds, the whole having a very life-like appearance. The Address was written within these borders in vermillion, and was a masterpiece of penmanship. An admirable translation of it, together with the Prince's reply which was much appreciated by the Native community, whose representatives\n\n35",

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

We believe that 'except the Lord build the House, they labour in vain that build it,' and therefore we look up to Him for his blessing upon an undertaking whose sole object is His honour and glory. But we, on whom the responsibility of setting it on foot rests, have faith also in you. We believe in your Christian zeal and liberality; and, so believing, we feel sure that you will not be satisfied until the Work now begun under such favourable auspices is brought to a successful conclusion. As to our guest, I am sure you will most heartily join me in thanking His Royal Highness, for his great kindness in consenting to inaugurate this pious Undertaking, and for the skilful manner in which he has executed it. We were all prepared to receive him with respect and loyal affection as the son of our beloved Queen, whose throne is securely founded in the hearts of her people. But we now know him personally, and I am sure I express the sincere sentiments of all present, when I say that His Royal Highness has won for himself, during his too brief stay here, by his frank, genial, and affable bearing, a place in all our hearts. You will without exception, I am persuaded, join me in wishing him a safe and prosperous voyage, and in bidding him 'God speed.'\" Then, turning to the Prince, the Reverend Gentleman said:-\" Your Royal Highness, On behalf of the Clergy and Laity of this Cathedral City, I beg to present to you our most respectful and cordial thanks for your presence here to-day. We are sorry that you are so soon to leave us. We shall always think of your visit with feelings of unmixed satisfaction; and as, \n\n( 45 ) \n\ncontinually, in this Holy Place, we pray for 'all the Royal Family,' our thoughts will often revert to yourself. \n\nI can only offer you in conclusion, that which the Kings and Princes of the earth, and none more than those of your Royal House, have been wont to consider worthy of their acceptance, what I believe you also will highly value, -the Blessing of God's Priest, and the Prayers of God's Church. May the Lord of the Ocean speed you and your gallant crew in the good ship Galatea, in all her voyages! may He who, eighteen hundred years ago, calmed the sea of Galilee be your Pilot and Guide! may hope, the bright hope of the Christian, be your anchor in every port! and may you 'so pass the waves of this troublesome world, that finally,' without loss or damage, you may come to the land of everlasting life, there to reign' 'world without end'! Amen.\" \n\nThe Reverend Canon then gave the Benediction, and His Royal Highness departed, the guard presenting arms as before and the National Anthem being performed by the band. Among those on the Platform, in addition to His Excellency the Governor and Lady MacDonnell, were Commodore Oliver J. Jones, E. Sharp, Esq., Registrar of the Diocese, Mrs. Pollard, Mrs. Sharp, Mrs. Pyke, Mr. Sassoon and many others. Under the Stone were deposited coins of Hongkong mintage, and copies of the Daily Press and Overland China Mail. \n\nHis Royal Highness soon after visited His Excellency Major-General Whitfeild, Commanding Her Majesty's Forces in China, who had been prevented by illness from appearing during the Prince's visit, and subsequently His Royal Highness honoured in a similar way Acting Chief Justice Pauncefote. On this day many elegant and costly souvenirs were presented on behalf of the Prince to his Hongkong friends. A sum of £150 was also left by His Royal High-\n\n33333\n\n53",

        "content_text": "2\n\nSUPPLEMENT TO THE\n\nin print, and the date of Your Excellency's departure from China, is too brief to admit of the Chamber dealing with the subject as fully as its importance deserves. They are now engaged upon it, and shortly propose to transmit their views in a despatch to be addressed to Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign affairs.\n\nHowever, the opportunity of Your Excellency being in this Colony is one that they are reluctant to allow to pass without endeavouring to obtain fuller information regarding several clauses in the convention, than can be gathered with certainty from the printed copies of it already referred to; and it is with this object, and also with a desire to express their own views on the subject, that the Chamber now beg that Your Excellency will do them the favour of granting an interview to a deputation from their members, at such time as you may be pleased to appoint. The Chamber, in the hope that the interview will be granted, take the liberty now of bringing to Your Excellency's notice some parts of the Convention, about which they would be glad to be accurately informed.\n\nFirst, as regards those parts of the Convention that directly affect this Colony:\n\nBy Article II. China may appoint Consuls at all ports in the British dominions.\n\nIt may therefore be fairly assumed that, amongst the first places to which they are sent, Hongkong will be selected. This, threatening to create an Imperium in Imperio, affects the status of the Colony politically, and it appears to the Chamber more advisable at present to leave it to be dealt with by His Excellency the Governor.\n\nAccording to Article V. native produce landed in Hongkong, and afterwards sent to a treaty port must pay full duty and all Inland dues; whilst on the other hand, such produce sent from one treaty port to another pays only half import duty, Hongkong thereby being placed at a disadvantage to the extent of half the import duty. In like manner, whilst native produce can be sent to Foreign countries paying only the export duty and 50 per cent. additional for Transit dues, similar produce if sent to Hongkong for shipment must pay export duty at the treaty port, and all the inland dues on the way to it, however much those dues may exceed one half of the export duty.\n\nOn the other hand, the Chamber are gratified to find that the former practice of granting at treaty ports exemption certificates for goods to be transhipped at Hongkong to other treaty ports, and which concession towards placing her on an equality with those ports has for some years been withdrawn, is to be again permitted.\n\nBy Article VI. Kiungchow, in the rich island of Hainan, is to be removed from the list of treaty ports. The Chamber regret that they can only look upon the closing of this place as a most unfortunate step. A number of merchants have been desirous to carry on trade with Kiungchow, but have been unable to do so, inasmuch as no Consulate of any nationality has been established there. Not only is the island rich in products, and its trade one that would rapidly increase if regulated by the same conditions as obtain at the treaty ports of the mainland, but it promises soon to become a much more valuable market, as the government of Annam is about to throw open several ports to foreign trade, in which event there would without doubt be considerable commercial intercourse between Annam and Kiungchow, and between both and Hongkong. To a Chamber that has always advocated a much more extended intercourse with China, it is of course gratifying to learn that Wuchow will be opened to British trade. It nevertheless regards it as inferior in importance to Kiungchow, and if the privilege of doing business at the one has been obtained at the cost of one right to trade at the other, we fear that the advantage of the exchange has not fallen to British interests.\n\nThe arrangement for the commutation of all transit dues upon British goods by the payment of 50 per cent. in addition to the Import duty, on Imports, and of 50 per cent. in addition to the Exports duty, on Exports, is one that the Chamber should hail with much satisfaction, could they take any assurance to themselves from past experience, that the Chinese would faithfully observe their part of the agreement. The Chamber do not hesitate to state that they regard their promises in this matter with the greatest distrust, and would respectfully suggest that either the payment of the 50 per cent., additional to the Import and Export duties be made contingent upon a faithful observance by the Chinese of their part of the agreement, or that her Majesty's Government determine to follow up every known breach of the engagement with uncompromising persistency.\n\nWithout such an understanding, the revised conditions bearing in this matter will be as inoperative as those stipulated for in the Treaty of Tientsin, and the Chamber could only regard the arrangement for the commutation of the Transit dues as an additional burden of 21 per cent., on the value of British trade with China. With reference to Rule I. of the Supplementary Rules, the Chamber deem it a matter of paramount importance to have it clearly understood between Britain and China that British merchandise shall pass into any port of the interior upon the payment of Transit Dues of 50 per cent. of, and in addition to the Import duty, without any further exactions whatsoever, and irrespective of the ownership of the goods, and should such be met by the rate in question, a great boon will have been gained. In the case of British merchants resorting to the interior markets for the sale of imports, the prohibition against exhibiting on the houses rented by them their Hong name or the style of their firms, and the provision that such merchants shall not interfere to protect the landlords of such houses from the incidence of charges for which the Chinese may say the same are assessable, must in the opinion of the Chamber to a great extent nullify what advantages appear to be offered, it being left to the Chinese official to levy illegal charges upon the landlords of the houses in question.\n\nWith regard to Rule I. of the Supplementary Rules the Chamber consider that native produce brought from the interior for sale and exported to a foreign Country should be exempt from transit dues of every description over and above half the export duty, whether brought to the port by British or by native merchants. But it does not appear from the text that Chinese merchants bringing down the produce are to be dealt with as favourably as the British, a condition of matters that would not be allowed to appear in the text were there not means of evading the stipulations.\n\nThe Chamber respectfully enquire in regard to the last clause of Article IV, whether native produce shipped from one treaty port to another, and afterwards exported to a foreign country, shall not be entitled to a refund of inland dues and charges levied in excess of 50 per cent. of the export duty, such for instance as on teas or other produce shipped from Hankow or Kiukiang to Shanghai.\n\nThe Chamber would further respectfully enquire whether under Article III. metals and opium are included.\n\nThe questions about lighthouses, beacons, pilots, measures for the suppression of piracy, the navigation of the Poyang Lake by British-owned steamers instead of merely by Chinese-like sailing vessels, tonnage dues on hulks and passenger boats, the opening of places on the Yang-tsze above Hankow to foreign trade, of erecting manufactories at the Treaty ports, of working mines, of the increased duty on silk and opium, of trading in the interior with passports, of railroads and telegraphs, and the time during which it is proposed that the Supplementary convention will remain in force, are highly important, and Your Excellency will greatly oblige the members of the Chamber by giving any information about them that you shall feel at liberty to convey.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient Servant,\n\nJ. B. TAYLOR.\n\nVice Chairman.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN stated that Sir Rutherford Alcock had replied that he would receive the deputation at 2.30 P.M., at which time they intended waiting upon him.\n\nMr. RYRIE said it might be desirable to ask the meaning of Art. I. He had read it through, and could not understand its meaning, which was certainly very vague.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN said simply that British subjects would have to agree to the terms attaching to any privileges. He thought it applied chiefly to the Russians, who had Hongs in the interior, and that it meant if we had the same privilege granted, it must be in the same terms.\n\nMr. RYRIE thought the article was useless, and that the old clause as to the most favoured nation was quite enough, and was also distinct and unambiguous.\n\nMr. KRESSER enquired whether the Russians did not hang out their Hong names. He certainly understood that they were not submitted to the same restrictions as the British. British subjects, it was now arranged, could only reside temporarily in the interior; the Russians, he understood, could do so permanently.\n\nMr. PYKE thought it most objectionable that British subjects could not in any way interfere with anything that the local officials might choose to do to Chinese, who were in their employ.\n\nMr. HETHERINGTON thought the terms of residence, as in the convention, were not of so much importance, as we could fall back on those granted to the Russians. If they were allowed to reside for a space of six months, others would be allowed to do the same.\n\nMr. RYRIE said that was so before. It would be better to ask what time would be allowed.\n\nMr. PYKE thought it would be best perhaps to ask how long the Russians were allowed to reside in the interior.\n\nMr. DELBANCO considered it better not to ask too many questions. If the Russians were allowed to stay in the interior, then we should be so also. He thought the letter of the Chamber was too comprehensive. As respected the Import of Shirtings, &c., this matter had already been taken up by the Bradford and Manchester Chambers of Commerce. There was one subject, however, which in Hongkong was especially important, namely, the increase in the Opium Duty, to which allusion should be made.\n\nMr. PYKE said it was certainly important that British subjects were not allowed to hang out their Hong names. Although no tax might be placed upon the goods, they would be imposed on the proprietor of the house.\n\nMr. DELBANCO observed that everywhere people had to conform to the taxes of the country.\n\nMr. PYKE replied that the duties were limited by Treaty, and could not, therefore, be with propriety exceeded.\n\nIn reply to Mr. DelbanCO, the CHAIRMAN stated that the Duty on Opium was to be Tls. 20 more than before.\n\nMr. BELILIOS could not see the justice of allowing the Chinese to put any tax they liked upon Opium, or why the trade in this article should not be guarded as well as that in other goods.\n\nMr. DELBANCO considered that taking notice...\n\nPage 263\n\n3",

        "content_text": "264\n\n4\n\n# SUPPLEMENT TO THE\n\nof this point was specially our duty in Hong Kong, because other nations, not having an Open trade, would not do anything in the matter. The subject was the more important as the largely increasing native culture of opium was steadily interfering with the foreign trade.\n\nAfter some conversation, the CHAIRMAN read out Art. I, and a desultory discussion with respect to it ensued. Messrs. Kresser and Ryrie pointing out that, by the present convention, the Transit Dues clause was limited to only the Treaty Port provinces, whereas formerly it was provided that foreign goods could be carried all through the interior.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN certainly considered it would be desirable to bring forward this question.\n\nMr. PYKE here suggested that a public meeting was convened for 11 o'clock, at which it was desirable to be present, and after an intimation that the deputation would meet at Government House at 2.30, and a vote that Reporters from the Press be invited to be present, the meeting broke up, the majority of those forming it going on to the City Hall.\n\n# PUBLIC MEETING\n\nAbout 50 or 60 gentlemen, including many of the most influential residents in the Colony, assembled on 3rd Jan. at the City Hall, pursuant to notice from Mr. Hazeland, Deputy Sheriff, for the purpose of taking into consideration a memorial to Sir Rutherford Alcock, upon the subject of the convention with reference to the Revision of the Treaty.\n\nMr. HAZELAND said that, as customary at public meetings, the first duty would be to elect a Chairman.\n\nMr. Pyke then proposed, and Mr. Ryrie seconded, that the Hon. Mr. Pollard be elected. This was unanimously carried.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN stated that Mr. Dennya, Sec. to the City Hall, had kindly consented to act also as Secretary of this meeting. He then went on to say that it had been impossible to give proper notice of it, in consequence of there being no papers on New Year's Day. He imagined those present represented all those who had seen the posters, but did not represent the strength of the community. As one of the oldest residents and having great interest in all that concerned the Colony, he was glad to be able to assist. There was only one opinion in this Colony with regard to the terms of the new convention with China, namely, that it was most prejudicial not only to China generally, but to Hongkong particularly. It was with this latter that this meeting had more particularly to do. The trading interests of Hongkong depended on its being an Emporium at which trade could be carried on between the rest of the world and China; and it was therefore obvious that anything that affected China also affected the interests of this Colony.\n\nThe convention contained also several clauses particularly affecting the trade of Hongkong; and, among these, there was first the article with reference to the appointment of Consuls to all British possessions. It was certain that the very first use of this would be to appoint a Consul to this Colony—a step which would most seriously affect its trade; as it was certain that it was nothing else than the completion of the scheme of policy of putting revenue cruisers round this port, so persistently attempted by the Chinese officials. It was, in fact, the only remaining link necessary to render Hongkong such a trading port only as would be desired to be seen by its enemies.\n\nIt was said that this was excusable, on account of the national right of China to protect her Imperial revenue; but this objection was completely answered by the well-known fact, too often overlooked, that China does not behave itself in such a way as to entitle it to those privileges, which are accorded to Western powers. The least that could be expected in return for recognising her as entitled to those privileges, was that Western nations should be allowed to trade at all ports of the Empire, instead of being able only to trade at a limited number, and at those only under very great restrictions.\n\nIf we admitted that ten years had been sufficient to educate China to take a position side by side with other nations, we might at least expect in compensation that we should be allowed to ship whatever goods we liked to all the Coast of China. The proposal to put a Consul at Hongkong was, there was too much reason to believe, neither more nor less than an attempt to tax the trade, which China cannot get a revenue from at her own ports.\n\nHe recollected what had been said by Lord Clarendon in 1864, with regard to the question of our aiding in the collection of the Imperial Chinese revenue, then said it was not part of British duties; and the speaker could not but believe, if it were not for a certain apathy of the mercantile community, he would not have listened to counsels, which have rendered him disposed to believe in and to espouse, a policy, so entirely different to that which he entertained before.\n\nThe Government at Home now seemed to believe only those, whose object chiefly was to do all that tended to glorify the diplomatic service in China; but fortunately, the subject was still open, and there was no question that attention would be paid to a representation, if made with sufficient energy and weight. It was certainly an exception for a nation to give everything to another power, and to get hardly anything in return, and in fact to allow China to cripple the trade of one of her colonies.\n\nIf there were a Chinese Consul here, he would be in such a position that he would be able to tax here, and the inevitable result would be that trade would not come to the colony, as the natives would not send their goods when they are taxed. The Consul would, in fact, be a local spy, who would give such information as would enable the Mandarins to squeeze the trade.\n\nIt, therefore, needed very little to show that this provision would be most prejudicial to the interests of the colony. The next matter for consideration was the provisions of article 5th of the new convention, which there could be no doubt was designed by the Chinese in order to make our institutions subsidiary to collect their revenue.\n\nAccording to it, native produce shipped from Hongkong to a Treaty port would be subject to the same squeeze through the country as if it belonged to native merchants, and, in fact, be liable to all such squeezes as the local Mandarins might choose to levy upon it. This provision also, it was certain, would be most prejudicial not only to our immediate interests in Hongkong, but to all interests in China.\n\nThe first part of the article provided privileges, which, however, could not be considered in any way an equivalent for the injury that this portion of it would bring about. The next point demanding notice was article 6th, doing away with Kiungchow as a treaty port.\n\nIt was notorious that goods sent down to Hainan paid heavy dues to the native authorities, which, however, did not go to enrich the Imperial Revenue of China, but went instead into the pockets of local Mandarins. This consideration, so far as the Chinese were concerned, was no doubt at the bottom of it. If Kiungchow were opened, the moment it became a treaty port, all the trade that goes to it would flow from Hongkong; and it would seem that the whole object of the measure was to the damage of this colony.\n\nBecause they saw fit to open a new port in the North, that surely was not a just reason for closing one in the South; and especially so where it was obvious that it would tend to the injury of Hongkong, at which there was an enormous amount of capital sunk on the faith that this place would be made a depot for the trade in the South of China.\n\nThere were points which would be more appropriately alluded to by the Chamber of Commerce, such as that one clause of Art. XII. agreeing to an increase in the duty on opium as the price of the privileges which were set forth—not one of which would be of the slightest value to any person in China.\n\nThey were put forward as a sort of sop to induce the Minister to agree to further concessions to the Chinese; and he must say he could not see upon what valid ground, the increase in the tax on opium was sanctioned. The theory was that China objects to the smoking of opium, and that it had been forced upon her by foreign nations.\n\nThe truth was that the taste for the drug was so strong that in defiance of all restrictions the Chinese will have opium, and the result of the tax imposed upon it was, like all protective duties, simply and designedly to stimulate the growth of the native drug.\n\nAgainst this, it was fair to protest, as it was one of the things which militated not only against the interests of China, but also those of India. This port was the natural channel through which the trade flowed, and if the duty was increased, the import would be diminished, and injury result, we could not say in how many ways, not only indirectly, but directly.\n\nIt was, therefore, only right that the public should not only avail themselves of the opportunity of the British Minister's passing through the colony to lay their views before him, but that they should also remonstrate against this convention being passed, and ask H.E. the Governor to communicate the matter to the Home government, which the speaker was sure he would do not only warmly, but also most ably.\n\nMr. RYRIe could not add much to what had been so ably brought forward by Mr. Pollard. There could be no doubt the provisions he alluded to were levelled against the interests of the Colony, and that no exertions should be spared to induce our authorities to take steps to make them less injurious to our interests.\n\nHe therefore begged to propose the following Resolution:\n\n\"That the Community of Hongkong, believing that several of the Articles of the proposed Revision of the Treaty with China are certain in their effect to be most prejudicial to the Colony and the interests of all connected with it, and calculated most seriously to affect and diminish the trade of the port, without giving any adequate benefit or compensation, either to its residents, or to commercial interests in China generally, do take measures to remonstrate against the ratification of the proposed Revision by Her Majesty's Government, and to protest respectfully against such an injury being inflicted upon them.\"\n\nThis was seconded by Mr. Macgowan, and carried unanimously; the Chairman observing that the circumstance was significant of the extent of the feeling in Hongkong, as it was very seldom that a resolution was passed without some dissentients.\n\nMr. AUGUSTINE HEARD then begged to propose:\n\n\"That a Committee be appointed to draw up a Memorial to Her Majesty's Government, setting forth the reasons which necessitate such a remonstrance, and request His Excellency the Governor to forward the Memorial, and urge its being taken into due consideration.\"\n\nThis was seconded by Mr. Crichton, and was carried unanimously.\n\nMr. Pyke then rose and proposed:\n\n\"That the Committee be also appointed a Deputation to wait upon His Excellency Sir R. Alcock, and bring to his notice the feeling of the Community upon the subject, and their intention so...\n\nJANUARY 7, 1870.\n\nW38\n\n5",

Leman, and carried unanimously.\n\nHon. J. B. TAYLOR then mentioned that it was agreed that the deputation from the Chamber was to wait on His Excellency at half-past two, and he supposed the two should go together.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN understood that both were expected at half-past two, whether they should go together or not would have to be ascertained. It would be desirable to appoint a committee, and he, therefore, begged to propose the following resolution:---\n\n\"That the following gentlemen be requested to act as such Committee and Deputation:-The Hon.

Sir Rutherford Alcock, K.C.B., Her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary to China, to respectfully address him with reference to the convention as to the revision of the Treaty of Tientsin, agreed to on the 23rd October, 1869. After the deputation had been introduced, Sir Rutherford said that he was very glad of the opportunity which was afforded him of meeting the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and the Community of Hongkong.\n\nHis Excellency then went on to say that it was only right to notice a circumstance that was too frequently overlooked in the comments made with reference to his conduct, namely, that he could not do more than obtain from the Chinese the best terms compatible with his instructions. He was not a free agent, but Her Majesty's Minister.\n\nAs far as he was personally concerned, he would be glad to show the deputation the nature of all that had been done; and so far as he felt authorized to do so, he would frankly state to them the nature of the long negotiations which had terminated in the convention. They had extended over more than eighteen months, and he thought that the specimen of printed papers which he held in his hand, which embodied the dispatches that had been passed during that period on the subject, showed that at least considerable attention had been paid to it.\n\nHe was at liberty to quote to them such portions as were of most interest, as showing the circumstances under which the revision was effected. It would be desirable to give some explanations as to particular clauses.\n\nHe held in his hand a document (a memorandum from the Board of Trade), from which he might without indiscretion quote certain passages. First, he would show under what conditions alone it was possible to negotiate, and would read extracts from the memorandum, illustrating the nature of the instructions under which he had acted.\n\nThe subject was to be considered under two divisions; first, as to the existing treaty; and, secondly, as to the modifications which it was designed to introduce in it by the revision.\n\nThe most important point under the first heading was the arrangement as to transit dues, and the right of protection in the interior as originally contemplated by the treaties.\n\nUpon this point Her Majesty's Government was of opinion that all that could be claimed under the Treaty of Tientsin was that at the Treaty ports the importer had the right to sell his goods in the market, and to send them into the interior free from more than the tariff and Treaty duties; but that when out of his hands, they had to take their chance.\n\nHe hoped that the terms now agreed to might operate in removing these restrictions.\n\nTheir general character might be summed up as being, first, to allow all foreign goods to circulate freely throughout China on payment of the tariff and transit dues; secondly, that refund was to be made of any charges paid in excess of such tariff and transit dues; and, thirdly, that with regard to such articles as formed the subject of monopolies, British subjects should be allowed to deal in them upon the same terms as the Chinese.\n\nThe Chinese authorities took up a ground which was certainly very fair. They said: We cannot give your nationals any exclusive privileges, but they shall be placed at perfect liberty to trade on the same footing as our own people.\n\nWith respect to the concession of inland navigation, although they refused the right to foreign vessels and His Excellency was not aware of any country that conceded such a right-they were yet willing to allow such navigation on the same footing as it was pursued by their own subjects.\n\nForeigners might navigate the inland waters in vessels of the same type as those used by the Chinese; and it was further important to note that the restrictions as to steam would be removed whenever the Chinese themselves commenced to employ steamers, when foreigners would be at equal liberty to do so.\n\nJANUARY 7, 1870.\n\nThe correspondence which had taken place showed that the Home Government was inclined to think all steps in this direction would be most dangerous and calculated to bring about complications; while the Chinese, except under a system of penalties and licenses tending to prevent such results, strongly deprecated that foreigners should go into the interior in steamers under their Treaty rights, until the people had become more familiar with foreign ways and foreign appliances.\n\nThe Deputation would thus see that His Excellency's hands had not been free to do as he might wish in such questions.\n\nIt was the habit to speak on all occasions as of this, that, or the other act of Sir Rutherford Alcock, but the paper from which he had already quoted contained a strong expression against demanding any such concessions as were urged by the mercantile communities and the Press, and censured the Minister for the language which he had used in respect to them.\n\nIt would thus be seen that the only censure which His Excellency had received was for going too far in the direction of advocating commercial concessions.\n\nThe provision respecting a tug on the Poyang Lake, which had been the subject of a great deal of comment, such as showed it was not properly understood, was of importance, as the beginning of a system which might ultimately be worked into practical use.\n\nNext, with respect to travel in the interior, His Excellency quoted from the Board of Trade Memorandum, which was to the effect that their Lordships thought this question was an act of Chinese administration, and beyond this, they took no notice of the matter, except to express their opinion that the present arrangements were all that are required in the interests of commerce and peace.\n\nWith respect to the concessions asked, first, to establish stores and residences in the interior; next, as to steam navigation; and finally, as to the working of mines, the minute set forth, that while giving due credit to Sir Rutherford Alcock for his efforts in this direction, their Lordships were unable to regret that he failed in obtaining concessions on these points.\n\nThey believed the first of them, namely the right of residence, would with the exterritoriality arrangement in existence, be attended with great danger.\n\nIf there were only one foreign power concerned in the matter, it would no doubt be easier, though even then, they would advise the concession not being urged; but with a large number of foreign nations, all claiming exterritorial rights, there could be nothing more calculated to bring about complications.\n\nWith respect to railways and telegraphs, they could not be allowed as Treaty rights, and should at first be introduced only as experiments, and any general scheme should be inaugurated by the Chinese themselves.\n\nNo new attempts should therefore be made at obtaining privileges in this direction.\n\nHis Excellency, as Her Majesty's Minister, was bound to take his instructions from Her Majesty's Government, and to negotiate under the conditions which they provided for, and Her Majesty's Government had deliberately come to a different opinion to that of the Mercantile Communities in China.\n\nThey might be sure that Her Majesty's Government earnestly wished, so far as they could, to further the trading interests of the country, and no doubt had formed their opinion upon careful consideration, and for weighty and sound reasons.\n\nSuch were the general conditions under which the negotiations had been conducted, and His Excellency would now be glad to give any explanations in his power on such points as the deputations desired to have explained.\n\nHon. J. B. TAYLOR said he had been deputed to speak on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, and they could not but feel that, as the provisions of the original Treaty had proved completely inoperative, it was to be feared that those of the convention would not prove more successful, unless there were some guarantee that they would be carried out in good faith.\n\nBritish merchants were allowed to resort to the interior for trade, but the privileges would be rendered abortive by their being prohibited from putting up the names of their Hongs, and being allowed to reside only for a short period.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY thought he could explain this point.\n\nIt was very often the case that when the Chinese agreed to terms in writing, they underrated the importance which the terms actually conveyed.\n\nFor example, the Russians had no more trading rights than British subjects, but yet there were Russian Hongs established in the interior.\n\nThere were a few above Hankow, in the Tea districts.\n\nThey spoke Chinese, and had half Russianised Chinese in their employ, and assimilated themselves very much to the people, to the extent in some instances of adopting their dress.\n\nThey gave no trouble to the authorities, and the authorities gave none to them.\n\nIt was His Excellency's firm belief that British subjects could do the same.\n\nIf they would be prepared to trade under the same conditions, there need be no trouble or disturbance.\n\nThe object of the provision was this, that the local authorities might be disposed not to admit...",

P. Ryrie, Senior non-official J.P.\n\nPresent: Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. R. Rowett, W. Wilson, Esq., T. G. Linstead, Esq., S. J. Gower, Esq., G. McLean, Esq., T. Pyke, Esq., E. Arthur, Esq., E. D. Sassoon, Esq., J. Berwick, Esq., J. M. Vickers, Esq., and E. R. Belilios, Esq.\n\nMr. RYRIE stated that it had been thought advisable to call a meeting of the Justices of the Peace, who were not officially connected with the Government, to consider whether, under the circumstances of the alarming increase of crime in the Colony, and the apparent powerlessness of the police to prevent it, or even to discover and arrest the offenders, some steps might not be taken on behalf of the Community at large, to ascertain the cause of the existing state of matters and inaugurate some reform for the future. His attention had long been directed to this subject, and as a member of the Legislative Council, he had some time ago endeavoured ineffectually to procure an investigation, with what result the following correspondence would show:-\n\n#### HONGKONG, 16th November, 1870.\n\nMy dear Mr. Austin,— \n\nAs it is my intention to propose at the next Meeting of the Legislative Council, that a commission be appointed, composed of a certain number of Government Officers and non-official Justices of the Peace, to enquire into the entire system and management of the Police Force, I shall feel obliged if you will inform me if any previous notice of such is required to be given. The complaints of all or nearly all the owners of property in the place, of the inefficiency and very heavy expense of the Police are so loud, that I feel it my duty, as a Member of Council, as well as a private individual, having a large amount of house property belonging to friends under my management and care, to call for a thorough investigation.\n\nYours truly,\nP. RYRIE.\n\nIn reply to this, an intimation was given that any such information should be applied for officially, and an official answer would be given.\n\nMr. Ryrie accordingly addressed a letter dated 30th November, 1870, to the Colonial Secretary, which, with its reply, was read:\n\n#### HONGKONG, 30th November, 1870.\n\nSIR,— There exists in the Colony at present so much dissatisfaction regarding the manner in which police work is conducted, as also with regard to the very great cost of the force, that I consider it my duty to propose that a commission be appointed to enquire into the entire system of police management, said commission to be composed of equal numbers of Government officers and non-official Justices of the Peace, and its proceedings to be open to the public. It is my desire to make the above proposal at the next meeting of the Legislative Council, provided, of course, that the same meets with His Excellency the Lieut.-Governor's approval.\n\nI have, &c., &c.,\n(Signed) P. RYRIE.\n\nTo the Hon. J. GARDINER AUSTIN,\nColonial Secretary, &c., &c.\n\n#### COLONIAL-SECRETARY'S OFFICE.\n\n#### HONGKONG, 2nd December, 1870.\n\nSIR,— I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 30th ultimo, and to acquaint you in reply, by desire of the Lieut. Governor, that as in accordance with instructions received from the Secretary of State, full police reports have been already transmitted to Downing Street, and no changes whatever can therefore be made until replies have been received, His Excellency cannot consent to any motion being made by you in the Legislative Council, for the appointment of a committee to enquire into the state of the police.— I have, &c., &c.\n\n(Signed) J. GARDINER AUSTIN,\nColonial-Secretary.\n\nThe Hon. PHINEAS RYRIE, &c., &c.\n\nSome conversation then ensued, wherein the unanimous feeling was confirmatory, and in extension of the Chairman's remarks, and the great cause of complaint existing in consequence of the police inefficiency.\n\nIt was then proposed by Mr. Maclean, seconded by Mr. E. D. Sassoon, and carried unanimously:\n\n\"That the whole body of non-official Justices of the Peace, waits on H. E. the Governor by appointment, and ascertain if any, and what, immediate steps are being taken by the Government with regard to the reformation of the Police Force.\"\n\nIt was then proposed by Mr. T. G. Linstead, and seconded by the Hon. P. Ryrie, and carried unanimously— \n\n\"That H.E. the Lieut.-Governor be also requested to appoint a commission consisting principally of residents not official members of Government, with full power and authority to enquire into the existing state of the Police Force, the result of such enquiry to be made public, and that the former official report of the commission of 1869 be as a preliminary placed in the hands of the commission now desired to be appointed.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN consented to ascertain when H.E. the Lieut.-Governor would receive the deputation, and the meeting then adjourned.\n\nPage 1\n\nI argue. I would lay some stress on the inconvenience of appointing a commission of inquiry at the time when a change of governorship is imminent, and who Col. O'Brien would be a good officer to serve under. I think his position could be improved as to salary. \n\nCol. O'Brien receives salary £1,000, House allowance £200. Also £200 as Poor Law Commissioner.

THE LIEUT.-GOVERNOR.\n\nA deputation, consisting of the following gentlemen, waited on H.E. the Lieut.-Governor on Saturday morning - Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. B. Rowett, W. Wilson, T. G. Linstead, S. J. Gower, G. Maclean, T. Pyke, E. Arthur, E. D. Sassoon, J. Berwick, J. M. Vickers, and E. R. Belilios, Esquires.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE (who acted as spokesman of the deputation) stated that, from his letter to the Colonial Secretary, His Excellency had no doubt been made aware of the object of the present deputation, and he thought that H.E. would admit that the present insecure state of the Colony, the numerous crimes and attacks on persons and property which had occurred, and continued to occur, with increasing frequency, unchecked, undiscovered, and unpunished, the great alarm thereby occasioned among the residents of the Colony, fully justified the public feeling which led to the recent meeting of non-official Justices of the Peace, resulting in two resolutions, which he would lay before His Excellency. Mr. Ryrie then proceeded to read the first Resolution, which is as follows:-\n\n\"That the whole body of non-official J.P. wait upon H.E. the Lieut-Governor by appointment, and ascertain if any, and what, immediate steps are being taken by the Government with regard to the reformation of the Police Force.\"\n\nHis Excellency the GOVERNOR said that he would lay the Resolution before his Council, which he would at once summon for the purpose, and that a reply would be given in due course.\n\nMr. RYRIE then introduced the second Resolution, stating that the inefficiency of the Police was a fact which hardly anyone in the Colony would attempt to deny, and that it was a most expensive establishment; every householder in the place knew to his sorrow when he had to pay up extraordinarily heavy assessment for Police rates. The opinions as to the cause of this inefficiency were various. In one quarter, it was stated that it was owing to the bad materials of which the body of the Force was composed; in another, it was the inefficiency and inexperience of the heads of the department; in a third, that all the troubles were owing to interference with the heads of the Police by the heads of other departments. But whatever the cause might be, the fact remained that the Police was certainly inefficient and very expensive; and the only way to arrive at the truth was by a fair inquiry in which the community (out of whose pockets the money came) should participate. The second Resolution was then read: it is as follows:-\n\n\"That His Excellency the Lieut.-Governor be also requested to appoint a Commission consisting principally of residents not official members of Government with full power and authority to enquire into the existing state of the Police Force, the result of such enquiry to be made public, and that the former official report of the Commission of 1869 be as a preliminary placed in the hands of the Commission now desired to be appointed.\"\n\nMr. RYRIE explained that he was in doubt whether the Commission referred to was held in 1869 or 1870; but the one to which he referred was held after the Shekwan murder.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY gave the same reply as before, viz., that he would consult his Council, and after he had done so would state his intentions.\n\nThe deputation then retired.\n\n## 69",

Ryrie (who acted as spokesman of the deputation) stated that, from his letter to the Colonial Secretary, His Excellency had no doubt been made aware of the object of the present deputation, and he thought that His Excellency would admit that the present insecure state of the Colony, the numerous crimes and attacks on persons and property which had occurred, and continued to occur, with increasing frequency, unchecked, undiscovered and unpunished, the great alarm thereby occasioned among the residents of the Colony, fully justified the public feeling which led to the recent meeting of non-official Justices of the Peace, resulting in two resolutions, which he would lay before His Excellency.

The Honorable **PHINEAS RYRIE**, in the Chair.\n\nProposed by Mr. DIXWELL.\nSeconded by Mr. COXOS.\n\n**RESOLVED.** That life and property in Hongkong have never been more insecure than at present, and that the prevalence of serious crimes and the reckless daring of the criminal classes is the natural result of the defective composition and total disorganization of the Hongkong Police Force, and of the inadequacy of the Colonial Police Law.\n\nCarried unanimously.\n\nProposed by Mr. DENNIS,\nSeconded by Mr. HAYLLAR.\n\n**RESOLVED.** That, in the opinion of this meeting, there is no reason why, with the large annual expenditure for Police purposes, the Force should not be as efficient as any body of Police in the East, and that there is urgent need for a searching inquiry into the Police Law of the Colony, the numbers and composition of the Force, its organization, its defects and their causes, into the action and result of the employment of all bodies openly or secretly connected therewith as well as into the regulations now in force regarding Police action at the Gambling Houses, into the details of the enormous expenditure out of Colonial Funds on the present ineffective system, and into the justice of the prevailing opinion that the existing Criminal Law of the Colony does not provide powers stringent enough to enable the Courts and the Authorities to deal with the vast number of bad characters belonging to the habitual criminal classes who flock here from the mainland of China.\n\nCarried unanimously.\n\nProposed by Mr. FRICKEL\nSeconded by Mr. COUGHTRIE.\n\n**RESOLVED.** That no inquiry can be satisfactory, or complete, which is not conducted by a Commission composed, in great part, of members of the Community unconnected with the local Government, and armed with full powers to examine all classes of witnesses, whether Members of the Government or otherwise, to call for and compel the production of papers of every description, and to deal with the question of crime, its causes and the means of prevention in all its branches.\n\nCarried unanimously.\n\nProposed by Mr. DEACON,\nSeconded by Mr. DADABHOY.\n\n**RESOLVED.** That this meeting approves of and adopts the action of the non-official Justices of the Peace in their meetings on the 30th of August last, and on the 11th instant, and views with indignation the inertness of the local Executive and the treatment accorded to the Deputation of the Justices and to their representations, as evidenced by the Colonial Secretary's reply to their address of the 2nd instant.\n\nCarried unanimously.\n\nProposed by Mr. C. MORGAN.\nSeconded by Mr. J. J. DOS REMEDIOS.\n\n**RESOLVED.** That the thanks of the community are due and are hereby given to the Honorable P. RYRIE and to his brother Justices, for their prompt action in the matter of the recent alarming increase of crime in the Colony.\n\nCarried unanimously.\n\nProposed by Mr. CRAWFORD.\nSeconded by Mr. J. K. DAVIS.\n\n**RESOLVED.** That the Community of Hongkong are entitled as of right to a full investigation into the causes that have led to the present deplorable state of affairs in the Colony, to a full explanation of the conduct of the Government in relation to the Police Force, and to a voice in the disposal of the large sum annually contributed by them for the purpose of preventing, detecting and punishing crime.\n\nCarried unanimously.\n\nProposed by Mr. MELCHERS.\nSeconded by KAIN.\n\n**RESOLVED.** Lastly, that the Secretary of State for the Colonies be memorialized on the subject, and that a Commission of Inquiry be prayed for in accordance with the terms of the 3rd resolution; that the Draft Memorial prepared by the Justices aforesaid, and circulated through the Community is approved of by this meeting, and that a Committee be now appointed to complete and forward the same with the least possible delay through the proper channels, and to take all proper steps for ensuring that due attention be paid to its prayer.\n\nCarried unanimously.\n\nProposed by Mr. PYKE\nSeconded by Mr. MACLEAN.\n\nThat the following gentlemen be appointed on the Committee to complete and forward the Memorial:\n\n| Name |\n|------|\n| Mr. A.

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA MAIL, HONGKONG, THURSDAY, OCT. 8, 1874.\n\n## THE MEMORIAL TO H.E. THE GOVERNOR RESPECTING THE CONDUCT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE DURING THE LATE TYPHOON\n\nTHE following is the text of the memorial forwarded to H.E. the Governor by the Residents who condemn Capt. Deane's action during the late typhoon.\n\nHONGKONG, 5th October, 1874.\n\nTo His Excellency,\n**SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B. Governor of Hongkong &c. &c. &c.**\n\nMAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,\n\nWe, the undersigned inhabitants of Hongkong, humbly beg to lay before your Excellency the following statement.\n\nThat on the night of the 22nd and the morning of the 23rd ultimo, a Typhoon of unprecedented violence did much destruction to life and property in this City and Harbour.\n\nAmong the many casualties of that dreadful night, two of the most remarkable are the wrecks of the steamers Albay and Leonor.\n\nBy the mercy of Providence, and the humane exertions of some private citizens, the crew of the Albay were saved from death, but although the Leonor sank only about fifty yards from the shore, nearly 100 persons perished, and only about 12 were saved from the ship.\n\nBefore the Leonor was wrecked, it was reported at the Central Police Station to the Captain Superintendent of Police, that a number of men had been rescued from the Albay, and that another steamer was coming on shore, but although there were a large number of available men at the Station, the Captain Superintendent refused to allow any of them to go out to render assistance.\n\nAt the time when the Police were thus confined to the barracks, they were also much needed to repress robbers who were plundering shops and warehouses, which had been broken open in various parts of the town and particularly on the Praya.\n\nDuring the height of the storm, a house in the Chinese portion of the City caught fire.\n\nThe circumstance was reported to the Captain Superintendent of Police, who not only refused to send any assistance, but declined to allow the Fire Alarm Bell to be rung, and he also failed to inform the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendents of the Fire Brigade, Messrs. C. May and J. Russell, that a fire had broken out, though it was his duty to do so at once.\n\nFortunately, Mr. C. V. Creagh, the other Assistant Superintendent, was present when the report was made, and, aid having been refused, he went alone to the Fire Engine Station and, with the help of a few volunteers, mostly private individuals, after much difficulty, the fire was subdued.\n\nThis colony pays a large sum annually for the maintenance of the Police Force and the Fire Brigade, for the protection of the lives and property of its Citizens, and it is grievously disappointing to find that, in an emergency, when lives were being lost by thousands in the Harbour and the whole City was threatened with a conflagration, the Chief of the Police not only was inactive himself, but withheld others from rendering that assistance which they were able and willing to give.\n\nHad timely aid been given, it is very possible that many of those who perished in the Leonor might have been saved, and valuable assistance might have been given in other quarters; and this inference is strengthened by what took place at the various outlying Police Stations both on this island and at Kowloong, where the detachments, not being checked from exertion, behaved in a manner which merits the gratitude and praise of the whole community. The names of Inspectors Burns, Grimes, and Youngson have come prominently forward among those who were most active in saving life.\n\nThe conduct of the Police at the Out-stations thus affords a gratifying proof of the willingness of the men to do their duty nobly, where they were not restricted by the orders of their chief.\n\nOur confidence in the discretion and wisdom with which the Police Force is directed has thus been seriously shaken, and we therefore pray that, in view of the circumstances herein set forth, Your Excellency will be pleased to institute a Public Inquiry into these matters, that the truth may be more fully known.\n\nWe have the honor to be Your Excellency's most obedient humble Servants,\n\nSigned by:- Jas.

BOWETT.\n\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,\nHongkong, 13th October, 1874.\n\nSIR, --I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 8th Inst., and to acquaint you in reply that the allegations contained in the Petition which accompanied it have been the subject of careful investigation by His Excellency the Governor, who has failed to discover sufficient grounds to justify the institution of a public enquiry into the conduct of the Captain Superintendent of Police.\n\nI have also the honor to inform you that, whilst deeply regretting that any portion of the community should have had their confidence in the direction of the Police Force shaken, His Excellency feels it incumbent upon him to state that at no time in the history of the Colony has the character and efficiency of the Police stood higher.\n\nI have the honor to be, Sir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\nJ. GARDINER AUSTIN,\nColonial Secretary.\n\n## Editorial from The Hongkong Times\n\nTHE HONGKONG TIMES,\nOctober 1st, 1874.\n\nIN THE MATTER OF CAPTAIN DEANE.\n\nWE ARE extremely gratified at being able to place before our readers the official correspondence that has taken place with reference to Captain Deane's conduct during the late typhoon. By those letters, we are enabled to grasp the subject in all its bearings; for our own part, we are exactly of the same opinion now as we were before we knew anything whatever of the correspondence going on. We disagree from the ideas of the Honourable Mr. Rowett altogether, but we do not fail to thoroughly appreciate that gentleman's motives in undertaking to try and rectify what he thought was wrong. We do not consider Captain Deane to be impeccable; and, at different times, we have raised a voice against both his action and his inaction when we thought he merited a little censure, but, in this instance, we consider him free of fault and we certainly intend to uphold his behaviour against which the Honble. Mr. Rowett and some others of the Colonists complain.\n\nThat unfortunate fire business has, however, yet to be explained. There is a vast deal of difference between trying to oppose a typhoon and attempting to put out a fire, and unless Captain Deane can give good reasons for not assisting at the conflagration, it will become the painful duty of the Governor to take him to task on this score.\n\n## Correspondence between Hon. R. Rowett and Hon. J. G. Austin\n\nTHE HON. R. ROWETT TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN,\n\nHong Kong, 23rd September, 1874.\n\nMY DEAR MR. AUSTIN,—Permit me to bring the following circumstances to your consideration in connection with the typhoon of last night.\n\nAt a little before one o'clock this morning, the steamer `Albay`, from Manila, came ashore on the Praya, inside Douglas Lapraik & Co.'s wharf, and just opposite my office. The typhoon was at its worst at the time. Loud cries were heard coming from the ship, when lights were displayed and a rope was thrown on board.\n\nThe Captain, officers, crew and passengers, to the number of 40 in all, were thus enabled to get on shore, and were placed for shelter in the Engine House of the Hongkong Fire Insurance Company. The Captain stated that when he arrived in port last evening, there were 400 persons, all told, on board his vessel.\n\nThese facts were reported at the Central Police Station, by Mr. A. P. McEwen, at about 1.30 a.m., and a statement was taken down in writing, by Captain Superintendent Deane, who, instead of sending assistance to the shipwrecked men refused to allow any of the Police to turn out, on the ground of its being dangerous for them to leave their quarters in such weather; and this, notwithstanding the fact of which he was also informed by Mr. McEwen, viz., that another steamer was coming on shore at the time he left the Praya.\n\nMr. McEwen then returned to the scene of the wreck, and, together with Lieutenant Prior of H.M. 80th Regiment, and Mr. G. W. Baird, once more went to the Police Station, with 30 of the shipwrecked men, the Captain of the `Albay` and his three officers remaining at the engine house. The men, who were all natives of Manila or Malays, except two European passengers, were then taken care of by the police for the night.\n\nMy object in drawing your attention to these facts is to enquire whether you do not consider that it is the duty of the police to be alert in moments of great public danger, and whether it would not have been more in accordance with the object the Government have in maintaining such a force, that they should have been sent wherever their aid might have been needed to save life or property, than that they should have been kept in barracks, while private individuals were able and willing to assist their suffering fellow creatures at some risk to their own lives?\n\nBelieve me, Yours faithfully,\nR. ROWETT.\n\nCAPT. SUPERINTENDENT DEANE TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN.\n\nVictoria, Hongkong, 24th September, 1874.\n\nIMMEDIATE.\n\nSIR, In reply to H.E. the Governor's minute on C.S.O. No. 2799, I have the honor to report that I did refuse to risk the lives of the Police under my command by ordering them to leave the Barracks in the height of a typhoon at 1 a.m. on the 23rd instant.\n\nMr. Rowett entirely overlooks the fact that the danger did not so much arise to persons living on the Praya going outside their doors to render aid, as to a body of men taken through the streets of the city, when, in the words of a local newspaper, \"the atmosphere was principally composed of tiles, brickbats, jalousies, verandah-beams and foliage.\"\n\nAt 2.30 a.m., however, when the barometer showed that the heaviest blasts of wind had passed, I did turn out the men, and we went over all parts of the town: in some places over our waists in water, and experiencing the greatest difficulty in passing along the roads.\n\nI have further to observe that at least 36 of the crew of the `Albay` had been already saved when the report was made, and that the danger of a second steamer was a mere conjecture.\n\nPage 335",

        "content_text": "## MEMORANDUM\n\nI have read the papers mentioned in His Excellency the Governor's Minute of the 30th ultimo, relative to the Colonial Secretary's duties, and I have conferred with Mr. MARSH on the same subject. I feel some diffidence in expressing an opinion, from the fact that I held the office, but for a very short time. My experience, however, such as it was, I now proceed to give :-\n\n2. I began my duties with two resolutions, first, that the day's work was to be done within the day; and secondly, that all the information I could get was to be obtained and recorded, before a document on which departmental knowledge or previous correspondence could throw light, was submitted for the Administrator's decision.\n\n3. In recording my own opinion, I was very cautious, because I saw that I had much to learn. When, however, there was any subject on which I thought myself qualified to offer an opinion, I did not hesitate to record it.\n\n4. With the exception of purely routine duties, I felt it necessary to have all other business in my own hands. I saw that I could not keep the run of the work, unless I got familiarized with every document that was transmitted from the various departments.\n\n5. As the Secretariat is the Office towards which all public business conveys, and as few questions that present themselves stand isolated, but are nearly always more or less connected with others that are occurring, or have already occurred, it appeared to me that all documents should pass through the Colonial Secretary's own hands, not merely pro forma, but with the view of ascertaining their exact purport and bearing it in mind. It seems to me that this cannot be attained without an inspection of every document, however formal, as it arrives at the Office.\n\n6. The Colonial Secretary should, under the Governor, have the virtual direction of the various departments; and with a view to the smooth working of every branch of the service, it is necessary that documents should be attended to, circulated, minuted and returned with all possible despatch. To do this occupies much time. I was always in the Office punctually at ten o'clock; I never left it during the day; and yet I can remember only three occasions on which I got away shortly after 4 P.M.\n\n7. A good deal of my time was occupied with personal interviews; but this cannot be avoided for, if it hinders work in one direction, it forwards it very much in another, and is in many ways very useful.\n\n8. As regards Audit work, I was generally so preoccupied with other matters that I felt that I was by no means fit to consider the questions I had to attend to as Auditor; and with the exception of a few points on which the Administrator specially requested my opinion, I may say that the Administrator himself performed the duties of Auditor. He also prepared the Estimates for 1880, which should properly have been drafted by me.\n\n9. With regard now to the question as to what part of the general administrative work might with advantage be imposed on the Colonial Secretary, I cannot speak without some hesitation. It seems to me, however, that the question turns on what the Colonial Secretary's duties really are; and on this point, I do not know what, if any, general regulations have been laid down by the Colonial Office. My own idea of the matter is that, if the Colonial Secretary is responsible for the conduct of public business, he should take part in everything connected therewith; and that on questions which require elucidation by reference to Heads of Departments and to previous documents, he should collect and summarize all the available information, and put the papers before the Governor when the points involved in them are ripe for decision. This would certainly be a great saving of the Governor's time; and if the Colonial Secretary's opinion accompanied the documents, this, while in no way binding the Governor, would, in the case of an experienced Officer well posted in the traditions of his department, be of great service in the final decision.\n\n(Signed) J. Poke Hennessy \n30th October 1879.\n\n(Copy) \n**2421 FO 662**: the Colonial Secretary imposed with his views as to what part of general administrative work, from his experience of the office, might with advantage be imposed.",

        "content_text": "No. 11.\n\nREPORT OF THE COLONIAL SURGEON ON HIS INSPECTION OF THE TOWN OF VICTORIA,1 AND ON THE PIG LICENSING SYSTEM. HONGKONG, APRIL 1874.\n\nCOLONIAL SURGEON, DR. AYRES, TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN, COLONIAL SECRETARY.\n\nHONGKONG, 15th April, 1874.\n\nSIR,\n\nI have the honour to forward to you a report on the result of my rounds with the Sanitary Inspectors, for the information of His Excellency the Governor.\n\nAs I have already stated in my reports on the inspection of brothels, there are many things brought to notice there that are equally applicable to private houses, such as bad drainage, deficient ventilation, foul privies, filthy condition of houses, &c., &c.; but if I was astonished at the state of the brothels, they did not at all prepare me for what I was to find in private houses.\n\nAs was the case with the brothels before I came, so it is with the back slums of the town; little or no superintendence has been thought of over the Inspectors. The Inspectors of Brothels, the Sanitary and Market Inspectors, have all been left pretty much to their own devices, as I have shown and shall show, nor does it seem to have come within the province of my predecessors to do this work.\n\nPigs are universally kept in the houses all over the town, the usual place for their reception being the kitchens, but they are by no means confined to that part of the house; if the droves are too large or the kitchens too small, they are kept in the same rooms the inhabitants of the house occupy, and are as frequently to be found in upper stories as on the ground floors; a very favourite place for them is under the bed. I have seen four of the usual divisions the Chinese make in one room, each division having a bed, and underneath each bed a pig-sty, containing from five to seven pigs, the occupant of the house having a Government Licence to keep pigs, and having no other place to keep them in. Attached to this report I send eight Licences,* by the authority of which the occupants of the houses kept pigs under their beds, and two others where the pigs, though not kept under the beds, were in the same room the people slept and lived in.\n\nI could send many others.\n\nNo. 130.\n\nA\n\n*SPECIMENS OF LICENCES ENCLOSED.\n\n  \n    NOT TRANSFERABLE.\n    \n    C. C. Smith\nRegistrar General\n  \n  \n    REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE, VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 5th January, 1872.\n  \n  \n    WONG A-FUNG is licensed to keep Three Pigs, on her Premises No. 4. Cross Street, till further notice.\n  \n  \n    No, 74.\n    No.\n    \n  \n\n  \n    NOT TRANSFERABLE.\n    \n    CECIL C. SMITH.\nRegistrar General.\n  \n  \n    REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE, VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 8th September, 1871.\n  \n  \n    LI A-LAI is licensed to keep Four Pigs, (4) on her Premises No. 7, Hing Wan Lane, 15th June, 1875, till further notice.\n  \n  \n    CECIL C. SMITH,\nRegistrar General.\n  \n\n1. This licence is only issued for the number of Pigs stated on it.\n\n2. If any more than that number are kept, all the Pigs will be confiscated.\n\n3. If the Pig-styes are not kept clean, the holders of the License will be fined, and the Licence will be cancelled.\n\n4. If any Pigs are found in a house the owner of which has no Licence for keeping them, the Pigs will be confiscated, and the owner fined.\n\n  \n    NOT TRANSFERABLE.\n  \n  \n    REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE, VICTORIA. HONGKONG,\n  \n  \n    187\n  \n  \n    is licensed to keep\n  \n  \n    stated on it.\n  \n  \n    until further notice.\n  \n  \n    Registrar General,\n  \n  \n    3. If the Pig-styes, or other places where the animals are kept, are not clean, the holders of the Licence will be fined, and the License will be cancelled.\n  \n  \n    3. If any Pigs, or other animals injurious to the public health, are found in a house the owner of which has no Licence for keeping them, the animals will be confiscated, and the owner fined.\"\n  \n  \n    Miller\n  \n  \n    449\n  \n\nThe construction of this class of houses is against every sanitary rule as regards drainage, ventilation and cleanliness, which is rendered impossible to the inhabitants, which you will easily understand by what I shall show you. Many houses, being built back to back, have no yards; having only windows in front, there is nothing to promote a current of air through them. In others which are not built back to back, no yard is provided, but a narrow gully exists between the backs of the two sets of houses, about a yard wide, not used for passengers, but down which an open sewer exists, in which foul and fetid matter lies in pools, or slowly trickles from one pool to another, a slight descent assisting. The private drains existing are of the most complicated description, beginning in the kitchen of the house, and terminating goodness only knows where,—in but too many cases in the earth itself (with no outlet), through which the filth percolates till it finds the water level.\n\nThe upper floors of the houses are made with very thin boards, which, not lying close together, render it impossible to attempt to wash them, as that would result in giving the inhabitants of the rooms below a dirty shower bath. The ground floors are, for the most part, mud, though sometimes badly tiled or covered with stone; on this mud floor, every imaginable filth falls, from saliva to the pigs' urine draining from the pens, so that the earth is saturated with decomposing animal and vegetable matter of all descriptions, and the floor cannot be washed or cleaned.\n\nI don't think the value of this sort of property is known, or the enormous prices for which these houses let. Repairs cost little or nothing yearly. In nearly every room three or more families reside, up to as many as six or eight; the rooms being partitioned off, each partition pays a dollar and a half to two dollars a month rent, and a house with three rooms about fourteen feet square, with miserable little kitchens attached, will fetch from £55 to £70 a year; if it is a brothel, from £80 to £100 a year. I saw one room with four partitions, for which the woman of the house paid $16 a month rent, the girls paying her $9 a month for each partition. So that it is evident, it is better to own property of this description, which requires little or no repair, than to own houses in better quarters, which pay less rent and require frequent repair. I mean that the inhabitants have no choice in the one instance, and the landlord none in the other, as to whether repairs shall be done or not, when they are required.\n\nI now proceed to give a few notes of things I saw in certain localities, which notes are applicable to many other places.\n\nFuk On Lane.--Ground floors of most houses are mud; upper floors, open spaces between the boards, so that neither floors admit of proper cleaning; kitchens, poky little holes, overcrowded, and occupied by pigs. Steps at the upper end of this house were out of repair, underneath which are cavities containing liquid black and putrid filth.\n\nOpen space below Hospital Road, and east of Tung Hing Theatre, used as a place to shoot all sorts of rubbish, and a disgusting stench pervading the place.\n\nPound Lane.--South end filthy; no drainage; four cases of small-pox occurred here this year. Houses with broken floors, containing puddles of filth, from which a stench arose enough to make any one sick; outside, standing pools of filth in open drains. Tanks sunk in the ground floors of these houses containing filthy water, in which vegetables were being washed for the markets; also cake-making going on in these rooms, for sale in the markets; as many as from seven to twelve pigs kept in the kitchens here, the people having Licences.\n\nRutter's Lane consists of a passage about four feet wide, paved with large stones, with large cavities beneath them into which I could poke my walking-stick up to the handle without finding bottom, these cavities containing black and putrid liquid filth. The houses horribly filthy, and having pigs in them; in one house three children just recovered from small-pox.\n\nAt the top of this Lane is an open space, in which all sorts of rubbish are shot. Four wells in this space, which all, more or less, receive the drainings from the rubbish collected about. From three of these wells, the water only being used for cleaning clothes and vegetables, and the fourth used for drinking. Downspouts of the houses generally in a bad state of repair, and badly made.\n\nAlong the back of the houses in Upper Station Street runs a horizontal wooden trough, about six feet above the ground, which is used for conveying refuse water from the houses; this is not in good repair...",

        "content_text": "## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nNo doubt, the repeated representations I ventured to address to Lord CARNARVON in 1877 against \"the Conditional Pardon and Deportation system, were mainly based on the clear evidence I had obtained that, however well intended or admirable in theory, it was a bad system, inconsistent with prison discipline, and that instead of checking crime it fostered and enlarged a criminal class on our Kowloong frontier and even within the Colony: but I was not insensible either to the sound general principles His Lordship had laid down on this subject in addressing the Governor of New South Wales in October 1874 in certain despatches, copies of which had been transmitted to my predecessor in 1875, and in which the Secretary of State had said :-----\n\nThe effect upon neighbouring Colonies, the Empire generally, or foreign countries, of letting loose a highly criminal or dangerous felon to reside in any part of the world except only that principally concerned to take charge of him, was a step which might clearly and not unreasonably give rise to complaints from without the Colony.\n\nTo release a criminal upon the condition that he should inflict himself either upon other Colonies and foreign countries or upon this country, was altogether in opposition to the theory now generally adopted.\n\nI am happy to say that, as the Chief Justice points out in his Report, Chinese criminals can be effectually dealt with in Hongkong without having recourse to this dangerous expedient.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed) J. POPE HENNESSY.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nin these cases it turned out that if a prisoner expressed a wish to go to Sydney, Brisbane, or any other port of Australia, the practice, Mr. DEANE said, was for the Police to see that man on board the emigrant steamer or ship, and, having seen him safely on board, to make sure, as far as they could, that he left the Colony. I think one witness-not Mr. DEANE, but one of the Inspectors-told the Committee he had seen thirty or forty, at all events a considerable number of the deported criminals, on board one ship.\n\nThe Chief Justice.-What date was this ?\n\nHis Excellency.-This used to go on regularly up to two and a half years ago, when I put a stop to the practice. I recently called for a report from Mr. DEANE upon this subject, and he says-(His Excellency read the report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, to the effect that if a deportee desired to leave for any place to which a steamer ran, he was seen on board by a Constable, who remained until his departure; if he desired to go to any native village to which a passage boat plied, the same course was pursued; if he wished to go to Kowloon City, he was escorted to the boundary and there released). The Committee of which my honourable friend (Mr. RYRI) was a member, not only took the evidence of Mr. DEANE and one of the Inspectors, but in their report they touched upon the subject, and, if I remember rightly, disapproved of the encouragement of the Emigration of Chinese criminals to Australia. However, I have not allowed that, and not one deportee has gone to Australia since my arrival in this Colony.\n\n## Extract from the “Daily Press\" of 24th November, 1879.\n\n### LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. Hongkong.\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held on 22nd November, 1879. There were present:-----\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Chief Justice.\nHonourable W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary.\nHonourable J. RUSSELL, Acting Attorney General,\nHonourable M. S. Tonxoguy, Acting Colonial Treasurer.\nHonourable P. Ryrie.\nHonourable W. KESWICK,\n\nOn the Chinese Emigration Ordinance Amendment Bill, His Excellency the Governor said :--- Now, there was another proposed emigration about which I refused to issue my license, and that was the emigration of skilled artizans to Sydney and other parts of Australia, which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. put before me. Some members of my Executive Council appeared to think favourably of this scheme, and we had a good deal of discussion on the subject, but I adhered to the opinion which, on looking at the papers, I had originally formed that I should not relax in any way the rules of this Colony with respect to contract emigration with the object of facilitating the traffic which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. had in view. The idea of sending to Sydney or other parts of Australia a number of skilled Chinese artizans from Hongkong, would, it was pointed out to me, benefit considerably those Chinese who should be so taken, but I had to look to other considerations. I had to consider how far it was desirable for the Governor of this Colony to do anything in the way of relaxing the strict letter of the law so as to facilitate the emigration into Australia of Chinese workmen or labourers, at the very time when it seemed to me that the Governments of Australia were more or less embarrassed by this very question. Accordingly I refused to issue my license, and it happened that six or eight months after some trouble did occur at Sydney with the very steam-ship Company in question, owing to the fact that though I did not give my license in the form they had sought, yet some Chinese were conveyed in another way not in violation of our Ordinances, and the fact of these people arriving in Sydney led to disturbance and caused the local Government no small trouble.\n\nThere was another form of emigration to Sydney, Queensland, and other parts of Australia, against which I set my face in this Colony the moment I saw its possibility, or knew that it had overtaken place. That comes under the category more indeed of another subject recently discussed at this Council,--the deportation of criminals, than under that of emigration properly so called, and it is referred to by Mr. DEANE in his evidence before the Committee on Police and Crime. Mr. DEANE tells the Committee that some of the deportees or criminals who received conditional pardons were sent to Australia. The practice was: in the event of an emigrant ship being about to sail, these Chinese criminals were asked where they would like to go to, because neither the conditional pardon nor the deportation warrant of the Governor recited the place to which the criminal was to be deported; it simply stated in the one case the man was willing to leave the Colony and not to return for life, and in the other case he was ordered to leave and not return for five years, as the case might be.\n\n## POST OFFICE NOTICE.\n\n### Unclaimed Correspondence, 30th July, 1880.\n\n| Name | Letters | Registered Letters | Papers |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Adshood, E. | 1 |  |  |\n| Ashik, Autlerson, R.

        "content_text": "169 \n\n1 \n\nI saw one room with four partitions, for which the woman of the house paid $16 a month rent, the girls paying her $9 a month for each partition. So that it is evident, it is better to own property of this description, which requires little or no repair, than to own houses in better quarters, which less rent and require frequent repair. I mean that the inhabitants have no choice in the one instance, and the landlord none in the other, as to whether repairs shall be done or not, when they are required. I now proceed to give a few notes of things I saw in certain localities, which notes are applicable to many other places.\n\nFuk On Lane.- Ground floors of most houses are mud; upper floors, open spaces between the boards, so that neither floors admit of proper cleaning; kitchens, poky little holes, overcrowded, and occupied by pigs. Steps at the upper end of this house were out of repair, underneath which are cavities containing liquid black and putrid filth.\n\nOpen space below Hospital Road, and east of Tung Hing Theatre, used as a place to shoot all sorts of rubbish, and a disgusting stench pervading the place.\n\nPound Lane.- South end filthy; no drainage; four cases of small-pox occurred here this year. Houses with broken floors, containing puddles of filth, from which a stench arose enough to make anyone sick; outside, standing pools of filth in open drains. Tanks sunk in the ground floors of these houses containing filthy water, in which vegetables were being washed for the markets; also cake-making going on in these rooms, for sale in the markets; as many as from seven to twelve pigs kept in the kitchens here, the people having Licences.\n\nRutter's Lane consists of a passage about four feet wide, paved with large stones, with large cavities beneath them into which I could poke my walking-stick up to the handle without finding bottom, these cavities containing black and putrid liquid filth. The houses horribly filthy, and having pigs in them; in one house three children just recovered from small-pox.\n\nAt the top of this Lane is an open space, in which all sorts of rubbish are shot. Four wells in this space, which all, more or less, receive the drainings from the rubbish collected about. From three of these wells, the water only being used for cleaning clothes and vegetables, and the fourth used for drinking. Downspouts of the houses generally in a bad state of repair, and badly made.\n\nAlong the back of the houses in Upper Station Street runs a horizontal wooden trough, about six feet above the ground, which is used for conveying refuse water from the houses; this is not in good repair and leaks, the filthy water trickling down and polluting the walls of the houses.\n\nThe foundations of these houses look anything but safe; the inhabitants expect them to tumble down before long, as the houses in front of them have already done.\n\nBack of Market Street, Tai-ping-shan, a gully three feet wide, down which an open drain runs, the black and putrid filth trickling slowly along or standing in puddles.\n\nBack of Tank Lane, a gully with no name. Pigs in the upper and lower stories, and in holes let into the foundations of the houses. Place filthy, baskets of putrid rubbish standing about outside the houses. In the midst of puddles of filth in the broken pavement, saw a hole sunk in the ground, with a machine for pounding rice in it opposite to the doorway of a hole which could not be called a room, as it was not more than seven feet square, and was only large enough to contain a bed, in which a family slept, and underneath which were a lot of pigs.\n\nAnother gully with no name, one end of which opened into Caine Road, just below Dr. ADAMS' house; the other end into Market Street. This gully is floored with a platform of boards, raised about two feet above the ground; the earth below is sodden with black liquid filth, and underneath this footway fowls are kept, which afterwards go to the markets. The houses here are cramped-up little hovels, with filthy floors, and the inhabitants are licensed to keep pigs, as many as ten each.\n\nFirst Street, Sai-ing-poon, is a wide street, in which the houses look well from the front; pigs kept, of course. At the back of these houses are gullies of the foulest description, the stench from which is horrible, and in the rooms in these gullies the people keep pigs.\n\nWai On Lane.- A gully at the back of, and composed of the basement floors of Third Street; nearly every room contained pigs, there being nearly a hundred in the place. I could not stay to inspect it properly, as the stench drove me out retching violently. These places, taken from different quarters of the town, are quite sufficient to illustrate what I have said.\n\nAn intimate acquaintance, during the course of my student life in hospital practice, with the worst quarters of Lambeth, Waterloo Road, St. Giles and Somers Town, enables me to say that I do not believe there could be found in London worse places than are to be found in Hongkong, if so bad, and in Indian towns filth of the description found here would not be permitted by the \"Caste\" of the inhabitants.\n\nHere the people inhabiting the worst quarters are not so poverty-stricken; they wear good clothes and pay high rents, indeed, exorbitant rents, and nowhere have I seen anything approaching to the poverty I have seen in London or India.\n\nFew European residents of this generally supposed clean town know of or would believe the things I have brought to notice in this and my report of the brothels, and it is no wonder, under the circumstances, that, in their ignorance, they think the town is clean enough and more water is not required, seeing, as they do, only the best quarters, and those that are fair enough outside but foul within and behind.\n\nIn many places the people have to go long distances for water, or else get it from foul wells; so that they have to do without it as much as possible, not because they don't want it, but because it is a great deal of trouble to procure. They never wash or clean the floors of their houses, because the construction of the floors does not admit of it; so water is not used in this way.\n\nI am of opinion that, in the town, there is no fit or proper place for pigs to be kept at all, and this, at all events, should not be sanctioned by Government; but that places should be found out of town, over at Kowloon, and the pigs brought to market when required.\n\nNo house in the town should be permitted to have floors so constructed that they cannot be properly cleaned; in upper floors the boards should be well fitted together, so that they can be washed, and all ground floors should be well tiled and kept in repair. For the same reason, no mud floors should be permitted; every house should be well whitewashed within, ceilings and all, every six months, or at least every year. The landlord should be held responsible for these things, and for the drains being in proper order that belong to the house.\n\nIn some cases, however, the house drainage cannot be managed, as there is no proper drainage to the streets or gullies.\n\nIn future, no houses should be built without sufficient yard space at the back, and in no case should they be built back to back.\n\nWith such a state of things as I have reported here, no one will dispute, I think, that there is good reason for my prognostications as regards typhus and typhoid fever, and it is not to be wondered at that cases become more and more frequent. I have seen three this week. A cholera epidemic here would be something too dreadful to think of, and small-pox, crowded as the inhabitants are, is by no means to be thought lightly of.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\n**Honourable J. G. AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.**\n\nYour most obedient servant,\nP. B. C. AYRES, Colonial Surgeon.\n\n**BANK BUILDINGS, HONGKONG, 6th August, 1874.**\n\nSir,- Several applications have been made to me for ground to the westward for the purpose of keeping pigs, and I propose to prepare two considerable areas for this object, viz., Inland Lots Nos. `671` and `674` Shek-tong-tsui.\n\nAs these places are almost close to the slaughter house and removed from the neighbourhood of foreign residences, will you have the goodness to inform me whether the locality would be deemed unobjectionable.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n**Honourable C. C. SMITH, Registrar General.**\n\nSir,\nYour most obedient servant,\nGRANVILLE SHARP.",

To facilitate the hauling up of boats in bad weather, the northern bank or edge of the Causeway should be finished off with a gentle slope extending down to the water's edge. The slope should be rough paved between low water and high water marks, with the stones which abound in the neighbouring quarries. This item will cost $3,000, making the total estimate $30,000.\n\n7. The entire foreshore to the north of the Causeway will be dredged down to 2 feet below low water spring tides in accordance with the original design of 1878. The dredging, however, comes under the contract for the break-water, so that its cost is not included in the present reclamation project. The mud dredged from the sea-bed will be utilized for the filling in and will be of considerable help. Most of the material for the reclamation will, however, be red clay excavated from the hills overlooking the spot; convict labour, if properly regulated, may be used with advantage on this work.\n\n8. To ensure good surface drainage, the reclamation should be finished off in one uniform slope or inclination towards the sea, of 1 foot vertical to 200 feet horizontal. The stream at present meandering through the swamp should be diverted into a straight course through an open dyke. For the present, it is not intended to do more than make the reclamation in a rough and ready manner. More expensive works of road making and drainage may follow later when the lands are taken up on leaseholds and are yielding some revenue to the Government.\n\n9. I think it but just to the Sanitary Officers of the Colony to record the fact that the present foul and insanitary condition of Causeway Bay was brought about by the direct action of the Government in 1879, in forbidding the Sanitary Police to interfere with the boat population when the latter began to establish themselves permanently on the foreshore and to form the boat village which has been only recently dislodged. These boat people have now all been turned away, but each boat has left behind it, all around the berth which it so long tenanted undisturbedly, a four years' accumulation of putrid refuse. When the tide recedes and this expanse of fermenting organic matter is exposed to the direct rays of the sun, the effluvium is sickening beyond description, and I have no doubt that it is the cause of the fever prevalent in the neighbourhood.\n\nPUBLIC RECORD OFFICE.\n\nOne Document, being...\n\nPlan of proposed reclamation\n\nhas been removed to\n\n13/1/2\n\nR75547/844 3m 4/74 P\n\nMPG.793.\n\nTake Cammeray Bay\n\n24th June, 1883.\n\nJ.

This Ordinance may be cited as The Arms Ordinance, 1886.\n\n2. In this Ordinance the expression arms includes any description of fire-arms, also any sword, cutlass, spear, pike, bayonet, dagger, or other deadly weapon, also any part of any arms as so defined.\n\n3. Every Chinese who shall without reasonable excuse, the proof of which shall lie upon him, carry any arms about him, whether by night or day, shall be liable on Summary Conviction thereof, to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or to imprisonment with or without hard labour for any period not exceeding six months, and such weapon shall be forfeited to the Crown.\n\n4. The Governor in Council may from time to time at discretion grant to any Chinese licences to carry arms subject to such conditions to be specified in the licence as to the Governor in Council may seem fit, and may from time to time at discretion revoke any such licence.\n\nProvided that this section shall not prevent the owner of any trading or fishing junk who has given security to the Harbour Master under section 38 of Ordinance 8 of 1879 from having without licence on board of his junk such arms as are reasonably necessary for the protection of such junk on the high seas.\n\n5. Any Chinese carrying or reasonably suspected of carrying any arms in contravention of this Ordinance may be arrested without warrant by any Police Officer, and conveyed as soon as reasonably can be, before a Magistrate in order to his being dealt with according to law.\n\n6. Every person who shall have in his possession any spear, bludgeon, or other offensive weapon or any crowbar, picklock, skeleton key, or other instrument fit for unlawful purposes, who shall be unable to give satisfactory account of his possession thereof, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding one hundred dollars, or in the discretion of the Presiding Magistrate to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding one month.\n\n7. It shall not be lawful for any person, without the permission in writing of the Governor, to keep for any time however short within any house, store, godown, or other place on land, a larger quantity of gunpowder than fifteen lbs.

        "content_text": "epidemic disease. This year again the anxiety has been renewed, and, as we meet in Cardiff, a port which, owing to its intimate shipping connection with the Spanish ports, is of course proportionately liable to the introduction of the epidemic, it may not be considered inappropriate for me instead of entering into any lengthened exposition of the etiology of zymotic diseases, to explain the practical lessons in sanitation which are, I think, to be learned from certain previous outbreaks of cholera and zymotic diseases which have come under my observation during the time I have had the privilege of advising the authorities of this town.\n\nThen he gives you a history of the three epidemics of cholera in Cardiff, and the measures which had been taken, and this is the result of his experience:—\n\nThe experience of Cardiff may, therefore, be taken to prove that by increased sanitation cholera is robbed of its chief terror. In the outbreak of 1849, there were all the unsanitary conditions of soil, drainage, polluted waters, and general circumstances which could contribute to the spread of the epidemic, and we see that then it was limited mainly to the area in which it throve with such fatal vigour. In 1854, the second outbreak came before there was improvement in the drainage or water supply, and again we find the same area to be the centre from which it spread, modified, however, by the change in the location of patients, and by the prohibition of the use of polluted water. In 1866, again it visited the town in as virulent a form as before, but was met and checked at once by the improved sanitation and water supply; while the only striking incident of the epidemic was one isolated case which demonstrated the enormous power for evil which polluted water possesses. The lessons are the same as those to be learned in other places and countries, but here they are, however, perhaps, more sharply inculcated. Foul water, running kennels, noxious cesspools, open drains, stagnant pools, and all noxious abominations which, in the former times, abounded, are the conditions under which zymotic germs live and thrive and multiply; and cholera is a powerful enemy to be dreaded. Change these conditions, give pure water, good drains, and healthy arrangements, and its power is gone.\n\nThen in the discussion which followed Mr. Dyke says-Cholera had its source in filth, if this were removed cholera ceased.\" Again, Surgeon-General Cornish, of Madras, says-\" He laid special stress upon the practical fact that both in India and in England sanitary measures, improved water supply, drainage, and better housing had enormously improved public health and diminished the liability to cholera.\" There was another paper read by Dr. Aitkin, about the Quarantine Congress then sitting in Rome, and the great faith set in quarantine. He says-\n\nMost of these smaller states have not even tried to institute any sanitary administration; and where they possess the rudiments of such a service, the health officers themselves are not educated to believe in the value of local sanitation.\n\nIt is useless to try to impress on such men that they must free their subsoil from pollution by a thorough system of drainage, must keep their water supply and the air of their city and villages uncontaminated by the products of the decomposition of organic matter, and must house their teeming populations somewhat better than their pigs, when their one notion is that typhoid fever and cholera spread exactly in the same way as scarlatina or small-pox. The views of the two schools are hopelessly divergent that many years must pass before we can expect any general concurrence in our belief that a thoroughly practical and well-considered system of hygiene, efficiently carried out, is the one method by which such diseases as typhoid fever, diphtheria, and cholera can be banished from our midst, or, when accidentally introduced, be confined within the most modest limits.\n\nThe editor of the paper says, \"There is much that is mysterious in cholera, but this one point is clear, that by the removal of these local unsanitary conditions and by the proper management of imported cases, towns and districts may be effectually defended from its epidemics.\" These, sir, are facts, and facts which should greatly encourage all those who have to deal with sanitary matters. I have no doubt you will have to meet some opposition, which all sanitary reforms at one time or another encounter. I trust I have redeemed, though at a length which I greatly regret, my promise to show the necessity of the legislation which we propose and the benefits which, judging from the experience of others, we may confidently look forward to derive from any sacrifice which the legislation may impose upon us. I now pass to the Ordinance itself. It is divided into nine parts. The first contains the definition clause, and the constitution and powers of the Sanitary Board. You will find by section 13, the Board has power to make regulations concerning no less than twenty-six different matters, the most important of which I consider are numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 14, and 15. I will not mention what these are because honourable gentlemen have the Ordinance before them. All the bye-laws made by this Board are to be submitted to the approval of the Legislative Council, and looking at the importance of the matters dealt with, I think you will all agree this is a very proper condition to make, in order that the bye-laws may receive publicity and discussion. Among the powers given to the Board are those of entry on any premises on suspicion of the existence of a nuisance; the issuing of notices requiring the abatement of any nuisance, and if the terms of the notice are not carried out, the execution by the Board itself of all necessary works.\n\nPart 2 deals solely with the measures to be taken in case the Colony is threatened with any formidable epidemic. Part 3 deals with house drains. It may be said that a great many of these details might have been dealt with in the bye-laws, but looking at the importance of the matter, the principles involved, and the fact that this is the first serious attempt to deal with this question, it is deemed advisable to incorporate them in the Ordinance, in order to afford the opportunity of full discussion thereof. By section 48 power is given to the Board whenever it has reason to believe the drains of any house are in a defective state, to enter the premises and open the drains. If they are found in satisfactory condition, the drains are to be replaced at the cost of the Board, and if not, they are to be repaired at the cost of the landlord.\n\nPart 4 relates to the windows of domestic buildings, the space underneath the floors, and the size of the windows. Part 5, which is very important, deals with buildings erected on a level site excavated out of a slope or declivity, and from the extracts I have read from Mr. Chadwick's report it will easily be seen some legislation on this point was necessary. Any person who shall erect on a site excavated out of a slope any building shall leave between his wall and the slope a clear intervening space of four feet. If the basement story of the building is intended for cellarage or purposes other than human habitation it may abut against the hill to the height of the basement story. But if the basement is intended for human habitation that is not to be permitted.\n\nPart 6 relates wholly to privies. Part 7 regulates the space to be left in front of and behind domestic buildings. Fifteen feet is to be left in front of the house, and along the entire back of the domestic building, a clear space of at least 10 feet in width is to be left. A modification is made in the case of those houses which have in accordance with section 56 left a space of four feet between the external wall and the slope of the hill side. There is a provision contained in section 71 whereby the enactments of the two preceding sections may be modified if they cannot be adhered to without undue sacrifice of property.\n\nWith respect to buildings erected on land purchased of the Crown after the passing of this Ordinance, they are obliged to leave a backyard of ten feet for one storey, fifteen feet for two storeys, and twenty-five feet for three storeys. That is a condition which can easily be imposed, because everyone purchasing the land will know beforehand the restrictions imposed on him, and will pay for the land accordingly.\n\nWe now come to a very important part of the Ordinance, dealing with overcrowding. You have seen from Mr. Chadwick's report that the place is greatly overcrowded, and you have seen, in outbreaks of cholera and other diseases, the ill effects of overcrowding, and therefore we have laid it down that every domestic building found to be inhabited in excess of a proportion of one adult to every 300 cubic feet of clear internal space shall be considered to be in an overcrowded condition and be deemed a nuisance. This matter has been carefully considered by the Sanitary Board and they have come to the conclusion that the minimum space to be allowed is 300 cubic feet for each individual. If this were put into force and carried out strictly at once, it is calculated it would turn out about 20,000 people; therefore it is not intended to carry it out all at once, but bit by bit. This section will therefore only apply to certain districts named in an order of the Governor in Council. The Government hope to be able to place a large quantity of land at the disposal of builders, and so provide for those turned out by this Bill, and so, by acting with tact and moderation, it is hoped no hardship will arise.\n\nSection 87 says that no person who shall erect a domestic building shall let the same until it has been inspected and certified as having been built in compliance with the provisions of the Ordinance, and as being in every respect fit and proper for human habitation. At the end of the Ordinance you will find some bye-laws for the proper maintenance of common lodging houses. I do not think any great principle is involved in these bye-laws.\n\nPage 60\n\nPage 35",

This allegation is also untrue. When I held the post of Assistant Superintendent, I operated in a good many cases at the Hospital, such as opening of abscess, tapping for ascites, passing catheter, etc., etc. Whenever the Superintendent had to perform capital operations, it was I who generally administered anaesthetics, and there was not a single fatal accident during the whole time I was in the Hospital. Twice I performed craniotomy at the Civil Hospital without the assistance of another medical man. In one case of hydrocephalus, the mother made a very good recovery. In the other case, the woman was already very weak on her admission, and died a few hours after the operation.\n\nSince I took charge of the Gaol Hospital, I found difficulty in making arrangements for me to be present at the operations at the Civil Hospital, because they were generally performed before noon, when my time was taken up with my proper duty. Since my transference to the Gaol Hospital, this difficulty has greatly increased.\n\nDuring part of the time when I was in the Civil Hospital as Assistant Superintendent, Dr. J. Stockwell, and afterwards Surgeon-Major Murray, were appointed Acting Superintendents, and I am not aware that they ever made any complaints against me.\n\n### Colonial Surgeon's Annual Report for 1885\n\nThe subjoined paragraph is taken from the Colonial Surgeon's Annual Report for 1885:- \n\"This year the Superintendent was absent on sick leave for five months.

        "content_text": "# The \"Hyenik\" was on the berth for the mid-August trip, and I took passage by her on the 18th instant. I found, however, that, despite the announcement in the Gazette that she was bound for Fusan, her agents here had altered, at the last moment, her destination.\n\nShe would, I was informed, call at Kunsan, Mokpo, and Chei-ju, but on quitting Chei-ju would proceed, not to Choa-sei Yêng and Fusan, but to Chennampo, on the Ping-yang inlet. The change, embarrassing as it might have proved, was not unwelcome, as it gave me an opportunity of again examining Chennampo, the other suggested Treaty port.\n\n## Departure from Chemulpo and Journey to Kunsan\n\nWe left Chemulpo on the afternoon of the 19th instant for Kunsan. A month earlier, on the occasion of a further experimental cruise round the coast, special correspondents of the local Japanese newspapers, the \"Kanjo Shimpo,\" of Seoul, and the \"Shin Chosen\" of Chemulpo, had accompanied the steam-ship \"Hairiong.\" The results of their inquiries are now appearing in their respective journals, and as they represent the views of those not least interested in the Corean coast trade, I shall have frequent occasion to refer to them. Mr. Osborne, moreover, the Commissioner of Customs here, who visited Mokpo at the same time as Mr. Kodera, has kindly placed at my disposal his most useful notes.\n\n## Kunsan\n\nIn common with all the ports (Chemulpo hardly excepted) on the west and south coasts of Corea, Kunsan cannot be entered except by daylight. There are no lights along those coasts, or for that matter elsewhere in the peninsula. Recently, it is not clear on whose initiative, a small Japanese Government steamer has arrived in these waters, and has commenced to make note of the various points at which lighthouses or beacons should be erected. Their erection, if it is really contemplated by the Corean Government, must in any case be a matter of time, as sufficient funds for the maintenance of the forty or fifty lights which the \"Shin Chosen\" calculates to be needed can hardly be provided out of the present tonnage dues.\n\nThe absence of lights obliged the \"Hyenik\" to anchor, or at least lie-to, until daybreak before attempting to enter the successive ports. Further delay is caused on this west coast by the obligation to wait upon the tides. Kunsan cannot be approached at dead low water, while Mokpo, as will be explained, for a few days in each month, is only safely to be entered at slack water.\n\nWe anchored, then, at 1 A.M., off the mouth of the Keum Kang, North Brown Island, bearing east, and Helen Island, north-north-west. At 9-30 we weighed, as the flood was beginning to make, and steamed up the channel. Captain Benzenius, of the \"Hyenik,\" pointed out to me, as we proceeded, certain rocks which are not marked in the Admiralty charts. Two of these are of importance, as they are close on the fairway (126° 36′ 5′′ east, 35° 59′ north). A third higher up, also on the south edge of the channel, is of less consequence, since it lies off the track, and the same may be said of a fourth on the north shore opposite Kunsan. The rock in Kunsan Harbour shown in the charts is actually some way further east. In any case, Kunsan should not be entered without a pilot or very explicit sailing directions, and it would be, even with these, a difficult harbour to navigate for vessels of any considerable size.\n\nTo the north of the channel stretch mile-long sand-banks, over which the sea breaks heavily in the winter monsoon. The port itself is formed by the Keum Kang or Satin River, flowing here east to west. The river forms the boundary between the two Provinces of Ch'ung-ch'èng and Chulla, and is the waterway by which the important cities of Kong-ju in the former province and of Chên-ju in the latter are approached. Properly speaking, the town, which is on the south or Chulla shore, is a \"chin\" or guard-station in the Prefecture (\"Kun\") of Ok-ku, in the new department or county of Ch'ên-ju. It has hitherto been the residence of a \"Sei-kun Ch'emsa,\" or naval Captain, whose public office is picturesquely situated on the top of a wooded bluff facing the river.\n\n\"The present Ch'êmsa,\" says the \"Shin Chosen,\" \"is, for a Corean official, not a bad fellow, and has undertaken to do his best for the regular steamers.\" His office, however, is in a sad, but by no means unique, state of disrepair, \"worse than many an old temple in the hills.\" I saw nothing of it, or him, for we only stayed long enough to land four passengers. It was high noon, and, as far as I could observe, neither the inhabitants at large nor the accommodating Ch'emsa took the slightest interest in our proceedings. This insouciance is characteristic of the Corean, in office or out.\n\nAs long as he has rice to eat, tobacco to smoke, and a \"gesang\" to sing to him, the Corean would rather not be troubled with trade, still less with steamers, and time-tables are a mystery and a weariness. This disposition of his, antiquated but enviable, is the great hindrance to the development of the coast trade, which, with a more vigorous race, would long ago have attained noteworthy dimensions, where both fields and waters are so prolific.\n\nIt would be a mistake, however, to despair of the future of the many ports of the peninsula, especially when regard is had to the growth of Chemulpo during the twelve years it has been opened. Kunsan, though offering no great facilities for steamer traffic, is the port for the two most fertile provinces of Corea. At present, it is practically a storehouse for Government rice, which, until the changes of the past twelve months, had to be sent hence on Government account in bulk to Seoul.\n\nSome 30 miles up stream, at a point accessible by junks of 800 piculs (50 tons) burthen, is the entrepôt of Kang-Kyeng, a place even now of considerable trade. It is, it may be remarked, a noteworthy feature of Corea that all, or almost all, of her chief towns are situated some miles from the sea, so that a very imperfect idea of the commerce or population of the country could be gathered from a review of her coasts, the only access possible till two decades ago. In this lies, indeed, hope for the future prosperity of her ports, which, however unfrequented now, may be expected under favourable conditions to attract what traders there are from the inland cities to the coast.\n\nThe present population of Kunsan is set down as seventy or eighty households, or some 350 souls. \"The people,\" says the \"Shin Chosen,\" \"are mild and tractable in disposition, and submissive to foreigners, towards whom they indulge in no vituperation or abuse.\" The staple article of export, as has been said, is rice; other goods are screens (from Ch'ênju), fans, paper, and hempen cloth.\n\n## Pêpsêng and Mokpo\n\nThe next place of importance along the coast to the south of Kunsan is Pêpsêng, which is not on the list of ports visited by the regular steamers. The town is, nevertheless, a busy centre of native trade, and a congregating place for fishermen. The anchorage, however, is bad, as there is not sufficient water for steamers to approach the shore.\n\nI may remark, in passing, that the anchorage is not situated off the \"Popsong\" of the charts, but by two islets west-south-west of Mujang. We did not visit it, but pursued our way southwards, anchoring for the night between Fire Island and the Clump group. Weighing at daybreak (4·30) we reached Mokpo at 9 A.M.\n\nThe course followed has only been surveyed as far as the South Tivin, and even where it has been surveyed, the charts leave certain dangers still unmarked. The approach, of which a more reliable survey has been made, that through Lyne south to the south of Mokpo Forks, I shall have occasion to refer to later.\n\nWhat, through ignorance of its native name and self-restraint, or failing imagination on the part of the Hydrographers, I have called \"Mokpo Forks,\" is a narrow and deep cleft which forms the only steamer entrance to Mokpo. The south bank is the mainland, lofty hills covered with pines; the northern is an island almost equally beautiful, the larger of two which shut in the Mokpo River. The strait is only some half-mile long, and 500 yards or so in breadth, but it is the main exit for the waters of the Yong-san-kang, and the wide basin into which they empty.\n\nThe tides at Mokpo, 7 miles from the Forks, rise 12 feet at springs, and all the vast body of water such a rise implies, or nearly all of it, has to find its way twice a-day through that narrow channel. The consequence is, that for some four hours for two or three days after each full and change, a current races through the Forks which a steamer of 12 knots can hardly stem. Once through, close attention to the sailing directions of the China Sea Directory will bring the vessel by a zigzag course to Mokpo.\n\nThe chief, if not the only, danger is a shoal, marked on the chart, near the northern end of the bend above the Forks, formed doubtless by the swirling of the water round the remarkable wall of cliffs opposite to the Mokpo Peninsula.\n\nThe chief feature of that peninsula is the hill of Yu-tal, 750 feet in height. Round this, as a centre, the river winds through an arc of 90 degrees until, at a point some 2 miles south-east of the hill-top, it is joined by a creek from the north. At the junction of the two is the tiny walled town of Mokpo.\n\nThe accompanying sketch plan will give some idea of the surroundings of this townlet. Mokpo is built upon two boulder masses, which together must have at one time formed an island. The erstwhile island is now connected with the peninsula by two causeways, one running, roughly speaking, north from the north-west angle of the town, the other west from the south-west angle. All between these two causeways, that is, all space west of the town, but east of the mainland hills, is reclaimed or reclaimable ground, covered, as I saw it, with paddy, except that just above the southern dyke are the usual waterpools and beds of rushes. South of that dyke, which is some 300 yards long, stretches at low water a bank of mud, but at high water the whole of this is covered.\n\nThe creek east of Mokpo town is a most promising element in the port, for even at low water springs it is, in the reach alongside the town, from 20 to 30 feet deep. The one drawback to Mokpo as an anchorage—a drawback it shares with all ports on the east coast—is the strength of the tide, particularly the ebb-tide. But in the creek this is less felt. Eastward of it, at low water, stretches a wide mudflat, in the middle of which are...\n\nPage 437",

        "content_text": "that the deficit is largely due to the action of his countrymen in ousting the islanders from their fisheries. 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. H. WILKINSON.\n\n## Page 440",

This was a measure I felt myself justified in adopting: it was within my power & my instructions & the visit would at least give them a sense of our power. The night turned out fearfully wet: the troops were completely drenched, but the visit had been kept secret & the badness of the weather caused all the people to be indoors. No arms whatever were found: except one pike.\n\nSuch is the account of this alleged murder. I say alleged murder because there is no proof positive that a murder was committed: no body found: nothing definite to go upon were the place where the outrage was committed Her Majesty's dominions with all the force of law in full swing.

I happen to be the Chairman of the Committee and Rev. Dr. Paton and W.

Jordan.\n\nYunnan-fu, January 16, 1907.\n\nI HAVE the honour to inclose a brief Memorandum—too brief to be styled an Intelligence Report—on Kueichow affairs.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)  \n**W. H. WILKINSON.**\n\n### Memorandum\n\nof Foreign Affairs. He was told that things had somewhat quieted down, and that unless more serious news came to hand, of which the Department would inform him, Mrs. Windsor could proceed. A fortnight or so later the Department wrote to him, saying that missionaries and converts in Tu-yun, Tu-shan, and Li-po districts should keep at home as much as possible just now, and that the Department cannot accept responsibility if their advice is disregarded. Mr. Cecil-Smith, in reporting this to me, suggests that the observation was probably provoked by the refusal of the French priest in Tu-shan to return to the town from a country station where trouble is threatened. He adds that the latest reports state that things are quieter, and that Mr. Pike believes the back of the rising is broken.\n\n(Signed) **W. H. WILKINSON.**\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\n### Memorandum respecting Kueichow Affairs for December Quarter, 1906.\n\n#### Chinese Officials.\n\nTHE Governor-Designate, Pang Hung-shu, is expected daily at Kueiyang. The Financial Commissioner, Yuan K'ai-ti, left some time ago for audience, and it was reported that he had died on the journey to Peking. As a matter of fact, he has retired, being upwards of 80 years of age, and his post in Kueichow has been filled by the promotion of the Judicial Commissioner, Hsing-lin. The latter, who spent more than twenty years in Yünnan, has been acting as Governor of Kueichow for the past several months. The post he has vacated of Judicial Commissioner is filled by Sung-o, late Intendant of the Eastern Circuit (\"Kuei-tung Tao\"). It is expected that the Home Prefect, Yen Chin-hsi, now Acting Grain Taotai (Senior Intendant), will succeed him. The substantive Grain Taotai, Ling Ch'ing-yun, will, it is thought, retire; in which case the Prefect of Anshun, Ch'u Hung-hsi, now Acting Intendant of the Eastern Circuit, will probably be promoted to that post.\n\nA Taotai named Hsiang arrived at Kueiyang some time ago in connection with the new opium levy; but as he ignored the provincial authorities, these last are deferring action until Pang fut'ai arrives.\n\n#### Vernacular Journals.\n\nThe \"Kueichow Gazette,\" which formed the subject of my report of the 26th August, 1906, was discontinued after its third issue. The Educational Department at Kueiyang (the \"Hsüeh-wu Kung-so\") is now publishing a monthly magazine entitled the \"Kueichow Pedagogues Gazette\" (\"Kueichow chiao-yu kuan-pao\"), the first two numbers of which have reached Yunnan-fu. It is reported that another magazine, or perhaps a newspaper, is to appear in the next Chinese year (the 14th February, 1907).\n\n#### Rising of Aborigines in Tu-yun Prefecture.\n\nIn the early part of 1906, the Miao in Tu-yun Prefecture rose, as a protest against the \"foreign learning\" (\"yang-hsüeh,\" the new Government schools) and the \"foreign propaganda\" (\"yang-chiao,\" in this instance, Catholic proselytism). The irritants were squeezing and oppression on the part both of underlings of the Tu-yun Prefect and of native Roman Catholic catechists. As too often happens in China, the trouble was not properly dealt with, though the Prefect, Pan Chai-yi, was recalled to the provincial capital, where he committed suicide. His successor was also recalled, but the unrest spread to Tu-shan Chou, Li-po Hsien, and northward to Kueiting Hsien, in the Kueiyang Prefecture. Mr. and Mrs. Pike, British subjects in the China Inland Mission, are at Tu-shan; and Mrs. Windsor, of Tsunyi, arrived on the 9th December, 1906, at Kueiyang, on her way to nurse Mrs. Pike. Mr. Cecil-Smith, feeling that their safety was a matter that could not well await an application through me, made inquiries at the Department",

Siffert.\n\nOffice of the Whangpu Conservancy Board, Shanghae, July 31, 1907.\n\nSir,\n\n**IN** accordance with the stipulations of Article 4 of the Agreement, signed in Peking on the 27th September, 1905, regarding the establishment of a Board, and with reference to our Report of the 20th April and previous Reports on this subject, we have now the honour to write as follows for the information of the Consular Body regarding conservancy matters for the period 1st April to the 30th June, 1907 :--\n\n2. **Appointments, &c., to Conservancy Staff.**—(a.) Foreign Staff-Mr. E. A. Smith (British) was appointed storekeeper from the 1st May, 1907; M. G. Frederickson (Swede), overseer from the 1st June; also M. G. Kipke (German).\n\n(b.) Native Staff-Mr. Kuang Han Kuang was appointed to the Pay Department from the 1st April; Mr. Shao Wei Tang, head tracer, resigned from the 15th June on account of ill-health; Mr. Y. T. Fon, survey clerk, from similar reasons, was replaced by Mr. K. S. Pai. There were a few other unimportant changes.\n\n3. **Land purchased at Gough Island.**-Fifteen title-deeds, representing mow 607.0.7.9 of land purchased at either end of Gough Island for 18,212:37 Shanghae taels, were sent by the Taotai to the Conservancy Office and deposited in the Secretary's safe.\n\n4. **Tenders for Large Works.**-On the strong recommendation of the Engineer-in-chief, M. de Rijke, it was decided to accept the tenders of the Dutch firm, Messrs. Ten Bokkel Hainink, Korthals Altes, van Thiel de Vries and Co., for the construction of the large training jetty at Woosung, to cost about 2,000,000 Shanghae taels, and for dredging purposes to expend a similar amount.\n\n5. **Work accomplished, &c.**—The following details are from M. de Rijke's Report to the Conservancy Board for the June quarter:---\n\n(a) Shore defence above Telegraph Creek.-Though gabbioni dumping preventing undermining by currents, the high water bank fell away in places on account of the wash of steamers. In order to prevent this, ballast stone was thrown, so as to form moles above low water. This stone can be recovered and used elsewhere when the route of the shipping is directed to junk channel.\n\n(b) Shore defence at Bar Mark-Here the under shore has been fortified by dumping 164 gabbioni in tiers over a shore length of 300 feet; 20 of these gabbioni in the lowest tiers are 30 feet long instead of the usual 24 feet. The slope above low water has been dressed with brush-wood and stone. Although the receding of the Pootang shore is much less than last year, it is found that more defence works will be necessary before the stream along ship channel can be sufficiently restrained.\n\n(c) Shore defence lower end of Gough Island. During April, for a length of 150 feet, the shore had to be dressed with brush-wood and stone to stop caving caused by wave action.\n\n(d) Shoals below Gough Island.-Dumping the gabbioni, which form the edges of the parallel dams, and of the six cribs on junk channel side, was completed by the end of April.\n\n(e) Sink Work. The sinking and placing of the bottom layer of brush-wood (\"zinkstuks\") in the long parallel dam was commenced on the 19th April, and had since continued uninterruptedly. By the end of June, 17,830 square yards of \"zinkstuks\" had been sunk, covering a length of 1,150 yards from the island to about 210 yards from the end of the dam. The breadth of the bottom layer is 45 feet, the usual measurements of the \"zinkstuks\" 120 by 45 feet. It is very satisfactory to note that a large part of the brush-wood has already silted up and become indestructible.\n\n(f) Crib Work on the South Side of Junk Channel.-The large training work below \"Duke End\" consists of three cribs, connected with a parallel dam, and having an aggregate length of nearly 1 mile. Dumping gabbionis for the bottom layer of this was commenced early in May with three pontoons, and completed in June. In order to check the currents in this (the wrong) direction, which are still tending to increase, dumping gabbionis on the top of the bottom layer has been vigorously continued. The proper and economical method of raising the crib works would be with layers of \"zinkstuks\" along the gabbioni, but this is impossible till the twelve sinkworkers engaged in Holland arrive. They are due in August. For the two double cribs at and below \"salient,\" gabbioni dumping commenced early in June; the bottom layers are nearly completed.\n\n(g) Gough Island Dyke and Store Places.-The new dyke from one end of the island to the other is now complete to its full height of 17 feet above low water. At the upper end of the island, inside the new dyke, a space of ground, occupying an area of about 15 mow, has been raised from 8 ft. 5 in. to 15 feet above low water for storing materials. The large bamboo shed and materials in store near Telegraph Creek have been brought here and new supplies of brush-wood landed. At the lower end of the island a much smaller space has been raised for similar purposes. Great difficulty is experienced in the Gough Island reach in landing and storing materials on account of the shoals, and because the land lying so low is flooded by high tides. No materials that float can be stored on the Pootung side of the island till the land is raised. Four culverts were built underneath the dyke in order not to interfere with the drainage of the cultivated land on Gough Island.\n\n6. **Houses, &c.**-The dwelling-house and office near the Woosung forts will probably be ready by the end of July. The Messageries Maritimes Company having granted us permission to build on their property near Woosung Station, as well as giving us a new lease for five years on very liberal terms, estimates have been made, and a contract drawn up for building a large house for the staff on this side.\n\nIn this connection it may be mentioned that the Shanghae-Nanking Railway Directors have kindly consented to establish a flag station at this junction instead of the present station, which is, we understand, to be done away with.\n\n7. **Plant.**-Two more pontoons have been built and fitted for dumping gabbionis, so that we have now five pontoons regularly at work. Two launches, the \"Chun Pao\" and a hired one, are daily in use transporting materials and coolies and towing \"zinkstuks\" to where they are sunk. The small launch \"Lee Chi\" is steadily at survey work. Eight hired cargo boats were at work in April, twelve in May, and sixteen in June, besides sampans.\n\n8. **Survey Work.** A new survey of junk channel, lately commenced, will soon be ready and mapped out, but from the soundings it is clear that the stream along junk channel, especially during the flood, has increased, but not in the desired direction between the normal lines, where, on the contrary, more silting is perceptible. As no dredgers are yet available, all that can be done to remedy this is to dump gabbioni in the dyke end crib work, where, as noted above, three pontoons are daily at this work.\n\nMr. Muller's quarterly survey report states the survey of the river has been completed from the arsenal to 3,400 feet above Lung Hua Pagoda Creek, a distance of 2 miles. The shore line from Pheasant Point to Fisherman's Cross remeasured and sounding lines run 400 feet apart from Pheasant Point to Kajow Creek.\n\nThe zeros of all tide gauges (15) have been fixed to permanent marks on shore. Two lots of land outside Woosung Lighthouse and two between signal station and limit beacon have been remeasured. The normal line has been marked outside the Mitsui Bussan Kaisha property below Yangking Creek. The Ocean Steam-ship Company and China Navigation Company properties above Yangking Creek were measured to ascertain the area of reclaimed land to be gained by building out to 50 feet inside the normal line.\n\nThe land between the native waterworks and French waterworks was measured and levelled.\n\nTwo sounding lines were run three times between the cribs outside the dyke end station (junk channel) to learn the effect laying gabbioni has had. A survey of the land between Woosung Lighthouse and Woosung Fort was completed and plotted. The large scale (1:500) maps of the whole survey-Woosung outer bar to above Lang Hua Pagoda Creek, a distance of 19 miles--have been reduced to a scale of 1:16,000, and can now be printed.\n\n9. **Detail of Works.**-Workmen employed during the quarter-coolies, boatmen, watchmen, fascine workers, &c.--represented :-\n\n| Month | Days' Wages |\n| --- | --- |\n| April | 4,997 |\n| May | 5,476 |\n| June | 7,217 |\n| Total | 17,690 |",

(Signed) W. H.

Yunnan-fu: Rev. J. Graham, September 30, December 26.\n\n2. Ch'uching: Rev. H. A. C. Allen, October 2.\n\n3. Pingyi: Rev. W. J. Hanna, October 1, December\n\n(b) Kueiyang Province-\n\n1. Kueiyang: Rev. G. Cecil-Smith, October 2, December 4.\n\n2. Anshun: Rev. B. C. Waters,\n\n3. Tushan: Rev. D. F. Pike,\n\nOctober 29.\n\nOf the above reports only one, Mr. Allen's, was dated; the dates of the rest are those of covering letters or of postmarks. As regards the reports from Tushan, these were sent in the first instance to Canton \"without covering letter, date, or signature.\" The former reached Mr. Mansfield on the 19th September; the latter, from internal evidence, cannot have been written later than the 4th November. It was apparently received at Canton about the 15th November.\n\nThe general impression left by these reports is that at Yüunan-fu, and also, but to a less extent, at Kueiyang-the two provincial capitals-a genuine effort is being made to stamp out opium smoking and poppy growing. Elsewhere, although Proclamations are from time to time issued, very little attention is paid to them, even by the officials themselves.\n\nAt Yüunan-fu, I may add, the Governor-General, who took upon himself to reduce the cultivators' time of grace from ten years to three, has now ordered the Home Magistrate to pull up all poppies found growing in the K'unyang district. This will increase the existing dissatisfaction at his Excellency's arbitrary government, as the farmers say that it is now too late to start an alternative winter crop.\n\n1. Proclamations.\n\nYunnan-fu.\n\n(a.) July 19, 1907: Poppy cultivation to cease after three years.\n\n(b) August 9 (by the Home Prefect and Magistrate): Opium dens to be closed by August 18.

        "content_text": "The Governor and Committee then crossed the square to the shrouded statue of the Princess of Wales, which was next to be revealed. All round the enclosed statue were squads of the Buffs, and in close vicinity were the Hongkong Volunteers, who were in charge of Captains Andrews, Wolfe and Craik.\n\nThe enclosed square from which the unveiling ceremony was conducted was occupied by His Excellency the Governor, Major General Broadwood and Commodore Lyon, and by Mr. H. N. Mody, the generous donor of the statue. Mr. H. N. Mody said:-Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is with the greatest pleasure that I now call upon your Excellency to unveil, and take over for the community, the statue of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. The embellishment of the very few open spaces we possess in this Colony is, I think, an object worthy of the attention of those who have the good fortune to be able to take hand in doing so, nor can this object be better attained than by the erection of statues of those to whom we owe allegiance, devotion and love. It was, therefore, with the greatest pleasure that, on the opportunity being afforded me to do something in this line, I offered, subject to the sanction of His Majesty Our King and to the consent of the Royal Personage immediately concerned, to present to the Colony the statue you are now about to unveil. His Majesty's sanction was readily granted, and Her Royal Highness very graciously consented to give the necessary sittings to Mr Wade, the sculptor selected whose works of art are numerous and well known, and I am given to understand he has produced a very speaking likeness, which it is now my proud pleasure to present to this Colony. We may well be proud of the fact that we hold the honour of possessing the very first statue of our Gracious Princess that has as yet been erected, though one is now being prepared for India. Like our present Gracious Queen, the Princess of Wales has always shown a keen interest in all works of mercy and charity. Long may she be spared to do so. With these few remarks I now ask your Excellency to unveil the statue.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said Mr. Mody, Ladies and Gentlemen,-The addition of this statue of H.R.H. the Princess of Wales completes the group which forms our \"Royal Square,\" and so soon as the building sheds, which I regret will still for some time disfigure it, are removed, this Square will form a worthy and dignified approach to the Colony from the sea. The statue has been presented by Mr. H. N. Mody, who is ever ready to come forward to promote the welfare and add to the beauty and utility of the Colony, in which he has spent the greater part of his life. In the name of the Colony I thank him for his generous gift. Of Her Royal Highness and of the Prince of Wales it may be said that no prospective King and Queen of England have ever travelled so largely and seen so much of the British Empire as they have. It is significant of the increased importance with which the British Colonies are now regarded by the Mother country that their Royal Highnesses should thus have made themselves personally familiar with the sister nations whose destinies are linked with those of the British Isles, and with the Colonies, which, like Hongkong, are so important to the trade and to the naval supremacy of Great Britain. We are also proud that our future Queen will be the first for many centuries to be British-born. May Their Royal Highnesses be spared by Providence long lives, so that in due course they may reign over a united and loyal and patriotic Empire! At the request of the generous donor I now unveil the statue, and present it in his name to the Colony to which in so many ways he has been a benefactor.\n\nA bugle then sounded, the shroud enclosing the statue fell, and four Union Jacks were run up to the corner poles of the scaffolding which had enclosed the Princess. The band then played, a royal salute was given and all hats were doffed to the revivified Princess.\n\nTHE MARCH PAST.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, the General Officer Commanding, the Commodore and the General Staff then mounted the steps of the Queen's Statue to view the march past,\n\nThe Union Jack Was unfurled on the flagstaff, and naval gunners near Queen's Statue Pier fired a salute. The booming of the guns and the cheers of the spectators proved a hearty \"Health to His Majesty,\" and the troops started on the march past.\n\nThe Bluejackets, with their machine-like evolutions, well filled the premier post in the pageant, while the marines took second place with no less distinction. Then followed the Royal Artillery, the H.K.S.B.R.G.A., the Royal Engineers, the Buffs with their historical colours, the Volunteers, the Mahrattas and the Rajputs, the two latter displaying banners which have earned the adoration of all Britons.\n\nTHE NAVAL REVIEW.\n\nThe end of the march past concluded the proceedings in Statue Square, and the spectators then wended their way to the Naval Yard. The impassable gates of this usually secluded quarter were thrown open, and a large crowd of spectators filled the compound to witness the evolutions of the first defence of the Empire. Those in charge of the parade were Commodore Lyon, Commander J. Nicholas, H. M. S. Flora, Commander Smith H.M.S. Monmouth, Commander Acton, H.M.S. Tamar, Commander Pyke, H. M. S. Monmouth, Lieut. Chilcott and Lieut. Dukes Hughes.\n\nA bugle call announced the arrival of H. E. the Governor at the Naval Yard, simultaneous with which the big Union Jack at the saluting base and the two White Ensigns were unfurled. A royal salute followed, and then his Excellency inspected the bluejackets and marines.\n\nPage 563",

His Excellency inspected the lines, and also the guns placed on the harbour wall. It is, we understand, four years ago since a naval review took place at Hongkong, and it is to be regretted that they are not more frequent. Besides giving the general public an idea of the efficiency of our Navy, such exhibitions as that given yesterday help to cement the feelings between the civilian and the sailor more closely together. This was clearly evidenced yesterday, as on several occasions the patriotism of those present found expression in repeated applause. The sight was indeed a fine one, and the tars showed themselves to be exceptionally efficient in their duties. Their marching was excellent, and the smartness with which the firing parties acquitted themselves was loudly applauded. Commander Pike gave the necessary words of command. A Royal Salute was fired, after which the yard resounded with three hearty cheers from the men. The march past in extended column was a splendid sight, the men then forming into two compact squares. During the review, the guns from which the Salute had been fired headed the march, and lent additional splendour to the whole scene.\n\nParties were afterwards entertained on board the warship in the dry dock.\n\n575",

Sir,**\n\nInclosure 9 in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Sir Pelham Warren to Sir J. Jordan,\n\nShanghae, June 1, 1909.\n\nI HAVE the honour to transmit to you herewith copies in triplicate of the statement of Whangpoo Conservancy work during the quarter ended the 31st March, 1909.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nPELHAM L. WARREN.\n\n### Works made under Contract\n\nWoosung Outer-bar Training Works.--Contract No. 1 with the E.A.D. Company.\n\n- Zinkstuks sunk: 2,038 square yards in the harbour bunding.\n- Mattress work land above low water:\n  - 1,071 square yards in the sea-dyke.\n  - 822 square yards in the harbour bunding.\n\nThe base work of the sea-dyke has been completed to the end, excepting a gap 15 feet wide left in the mattress work as an outlet for the waste water when pumping dredged matter into the space behind the harbour bunding.\n\nPiling: Driven in during the fascine base work:—\n| Location | Number of Piles | Length of Piles |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Jetty | 258 | 50 feet |\n| \" | 91 | 45 |\n| \" | 16 | * |\n| Sea dyke | 788 | 40 |\n| \" | + | 45 |\n| \" | 24 | 51 |\n| \" | 31 | 2 |\n| \" | 20 | \" |\n| Harbour bunding | 328 | 15 |\n| \" | 1 | A |\n| \" | 396 | 18 |\n| \" | 35 | 31 |\n| \" | 222 | 15 |\n| \" | 215 | 22 |\n\nOver a length of 4,320 feet.\n\n|  | Length |\n| --- | --- |\n|  | 3,750 |\n|  | 1,270 |\n| + | +5 |\n|  | 90 |\n\nRubble mound.--During this quarter great masses of rubble stone have been dumped on the fascine base between the piles both of the training work at Princes Wharf and in the first and second section of the jetty, where the mud bottom was found to be extremely soft and yielding.\n\nThe ridge of rubble stone underneath the work staging, now invisible at low tide, is being raised considerably higher than shown in the plan so as to get an extra load on the fascine base in order to settle the work as much as possible before the top work is made, and thus prevent after-settling. The same is being done with the sea-dyke.\n\nAs soon as the outer row of piles in the jetty is driven in, the surplus stone between the staging piles will be shifted outwards to the proper shape of the rubble mound.\n\nSettling observed by gauges.--Before stone dumping was commenced, gauges (gas-pipes with a foot about a square yard, made of wood) have been carefully placed vertically on the base of zinkstuks. Thus far two such gauges are placed in the training dyke, four in the first section, and six in the second section of the jetty.\n\n- Sinking of the gauges—that is, of the base—in the training work at the end of December last: one gauge, 0.583 feet; the other, 9.503 feet.\n- In the beginning of April: 0.708 feet, 9.690 feet.\n- Jetty, first section, sinking at the beginning of April: 0.40 feet, 9.32 feet, 0.361 feet, and 0.416 feet.\n- Jetty, second section, in the beginning of April: 0.80 feet, 0.257 feet, 0.424 feet, 0.326 feet, and 0.132 feet.\n\nThe observations thus far may be considered as very satisfactory; evidently it is not much more than the settling of the brushwood itself.\n\nIt should be remembered that the three layers of zinkstuks underneath are all constructed extra strong, that without this flooring the greater part of the masses of rubble stone dumped would have sunk away into a mud bottom like this, and that afterwards the superstructure would have caused another sinking—always unequal—and repairs almost impossible to estimate.\n\n## Inclosure 10 in No. 1.\n\nDirectors of the Whangpoo Conservancy Board, Shanghae, to M.

For raising higher different cribs and dam works in the Gough Island reach- together, 8,218 tons; of this quantity 3,343 tons were taken from the conservancy's own stock, thus far used as platforms on which to store brushwood in places on shore overflow at high tide, and 4,905 tons supplied by the contractor. In the interest of the works, more especially in that of the new fairway through the junk-channel, the latter quantity should have been more than ten times as much. The reason why no more stone arrived is that nearly all the stone junks available delivered in the Woosung fort jetty, sometimes 3,000 tons per day.\n\nCargo Materials---\n|  | (1) In stock the 1st January | (2) Arrived and accepted this quarter | (3) Used in this quarter | (4) In stock the 1st April, 1909 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Brush wood bundles | 813,395 | 1,300,363 | 792,000 | 678,000 |\n| Stakes | 879,958 | 12,049 |  | 169,500 |\n| Reeds | 5,424 | 392,790 |  | 15,200 |\n| Bamboo baskets | 25,972 | 19,347 | 14,800 | 1,800 |\n| Ballast stone | 1,884 | 1,116 |  |  |\n| Poles of different length | 9,782 | 21,958 |  |  |\n|  |  | 24,296 |  | 247 |\n| Native rope, 2-thread, 1-in. | 27 | 41 |  |  |\n| Galvanized iron wire | 2,271 | 2,230 | 10,382 | 28,750 |\n|  | 55,500 | 29,142 | 4,990 |  |\n| Seizing wire | 1,400 |  | 43,075 | 30,240 |\n|  |  | 12,991 | 60,324 |  |\n\n## 11\nPlant in use.-As before.

This triple crib, with a depth of water in front of over 30 feet at low water, is one of the most exposed to strong currents, especially the north side, crib C, nearest to the Kajow Creek. This C crib is now raised to above low tide over its whole length to the normal line (557 feet), and its head, made entirely of strong zinkstuks, has been completed. The top of the head is 160 feet long. The other two cribs, A and B, built out with gabbioni, are also raised to about low water. The head of A raised with layers of zinkstucks to about 15 feet low water. The parallel work in the normal line between A and B raised to 15 feet low water, and between B and C to above 10 feet; all with gabbioni on a flooring of zinkstuks. Sufficiently for the present to ward off the main stream from this shore, this important work had to be left for a while incomplete because of more urgency with the dam works in the upper end of ship-channel.\n\nDamworks at Upper Gough cross the stream of the ship-channel.\n\nDam I-The two feet of zinkstuks on either side of this dam have been raised all over to an average height of 23 feet below low water.\n\nDam II-A double layer of zinkstuks has been sunk in the lower foot of this dam about 120 feet in the deepest part on the Pootung side.\n\nDam III-A single layer of zinkstuks has been sunk in either foot of this dam over about 250 feet on the Pootung side.\n\nParallel dam along the normal line.-Bottom layer of zinkstuks, 120 feet wide, extended to 2,405 feet stream upward from mark-pile No. 2, that is, from the end of the high dyke enclosing the mud deposit. Second layer, 84 feet wide, extended to 1,720 feet from mark-pile 2. The dam of zinkstuks previously raised to above low water has now been further raised with stone to 6 feet above low water to 875 feet from mark-pile 2.\n\nShore protection at Upper Gough, junk-channel side.-Both high and low water protection against the stream along this concave has been extended to 620 feet below the Upper Gough station.\n\nParallel dam, Lower Gough.-The lower end of this dam near the passage over the inner bar was being raised to above the low water level, but by want of stone little could be done, so that still too much of the stream during flood-tide flows over it into ship-channel.\n\nCribwork, left side of junk-channel.--Raising higher and levelling up the works bere and there was continued this quarter.\n\nProgress in the fairway through junk-channel.-Lower part, in cross-sections VIII to XIV, where the new channel or fairway runs along the left shore, which is slightly concave. The following is from a survey made in the beginning of this month of April-\n| Cross section | Breadth of channel in feet | Depth at low water in feet deepest |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| XIV, 229 feet | 600 | 18 |\n| XIII, 20-1 | 310 | 17 |\n| XII, 17.7 | 1,040 | 15 |\n|  | 360 | 12 |\n|  | 1,130 |  |\n|  | 1,500 |  |\n|  | 840 |  |\n|  | 1,110 |  |\n|  | 270 |  |\n|  | 1,060 |  |\n|  | 1,190 |  |\n\nIn this is not counted a depth to over 18 feet found a little outside the regular track but within the 15-feet curves.",

        "content_text": "## Breadth of channel in feet.\n\nThe following table is made from the ship-channel survey made in November 1908, and compared with that made in March last or four months later:—\n\n| Cross section | Depth at low water in feet | Breadth of channel in feet |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| XI | 18.5 | 150, 380, 700, 1,230 |\n| X | 18.5 | 230, 370, 730, 1,050 |\n| IX | 18.1 | 130, 230, 650, 1,080 |\n| VIII | 20.0 | 500, 620, 830, 1,360 |\n\nThese figures speak for themselves; the only dredging done during the quarter in this part is a little on the edge of the shoals opposite to widen the channel just above Ó.U. base, cross-section XII; so that any increase in depth and breadth of the channel is almost entirely owing to scour.\n\n## Upper part.-Cross-sections I to VIII.\n\nThis includes the \"passage\" from concave to concave, or from the left to the right shore. It should be borne in mind that the ultimate breadth of the new channel between the normal lines—here about 2,000 feet apart—is calculated for the whole of the Whangpoo stream at low water, whilst as yet a considerable part flows the other way through ship-channel.\n\nAs explained more than once, the transfer of stream has to be done gradually so as to prevent any tide killing. Now in this upper part the stream along the \"passage,\" not guided on the one or other side, and, of course, training works between the normal lines being out of the question, naturally must be liable to shiftings, especially in a stream-bed like this. The only possible way left to force the stream in the direction desired, i.e., in that of the leading marks already placed by the harbourmaster, is dredging, and lately it was necessary to have all the three powerful dredgers at work in this part.\n\n| Cross sections | Cross section area. Sq. ft. | Greatest depth. Feet | Cross section area. Sq. ft. | Greatest depth. Feet |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| About 900 feet below Fisherman | 27,289 | 38.0 | 26,167 | 30.0 |\n| 2,800 feet lower down | 27,351 | 42.6 | 25,862 | 26.5 |\n|  |  |  | 25,170 | 38.5 |\n| 2,000 feet lower down | 25,289 | 37.5 | 24,905 | 30.0 |\n| Opposite Lower Gough |  |  | 24,312 | 37.5 |\n|  |  |  | 23,344 | ... |\n| 1,700 feet lower down | 23,686 | 29.5 | 26,277 | 25.6 |\n|  |  |  | 23,940 | 36.0 |\n|  |  |  | 24,018 | 31.0 |\n| At Taiking Creek | ... | ... | ... | ... |\n| Just below Lower Gough mud deposit | ... | ... | ... | ... |\n| November 1909 | ... | ... | ... | ... |\n| March 1909 | decrease 1,072 | ... | ... | ... |\n|  | increase 1,489 | ... | ... | ... |\n|  | 1,330 | ... | ... | ... |\n|  | decrease 977 | ... | ... | ... |\n|  | 1,561 | ... | ... | ... |\n|  | 2 | ... | ... | ... |\n\nFrom this we may conclude that, though not much, natural silting has commenced over the whole length of ship-channel, mainly by narrowing of the channel. Fisherman and up to the Kajow Creek, before an open space of water, the depth of water increased with from 2 feet to 3 feet in these four months. This has been caused by contracting the stream between the works made there. For the same reason the depth of water over the inner bar is now marked more than it used to be.\n\n## Opening junk-channel\n\nThe opening of junk-channel for most of the shipping would relieve much the sinking parties now hard at work in the upper end of ship-channel. As to depth of water no difficulties would be met with except for the deepest ocean steamers, but on account of the shiftings above-mentioned—it being found necessary to have all the dredgers at work in the upper part of junk-channel, and these with their spread of anchors just in the line of the new fairway—it is considered better to postpone such an opening yet for a while.\n\nJOHS DE RIJKE.\n\n| Cross section | Depth at low water in feet |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| VII | 19.2 | 440, 680, 1,190, 1,380 |\n| VI | 19.4 | 760, 800, 870, 1,600 |\n| V | 25.4 | 310, 500, 860, ... |\n| IV | 29.3 | 560, 530, 1,100, ... |\n| III | 27.4 | 300, 570, 1,160, ... |\n| II | 26.8 | ... | ... | ... |\n| I | 28.3 | 500, 870, 890, 1,010, 970, 1,080 |\n\nAll the cross-sections are 1,200 feet apart, the fourteen together thus a length of stream of 16,800 feet.\n\nTaking the new river over its whole width between the normal lines, I can say that also in this upper part not any silting has been found. But the latest soundings show a loss in depth here and there in the route indicated by the leading marks in the \"passage,\" as also a narrowing of the channel once formed along the concave at and above Upper Gough. This has been caused by shifting, or matter replaced during high flood tides running strongly over the flats left of the old junk-channel bank. The flats on the left side, with less than 9 feet of water at low water still extend downward to about 1,300 feet below Upper Gough section, and, I fear, will cause more or less trouble yet for some time.\n\nThe only remedy besides enforced dredging is by going on vigorously in restraining the flow along the ship-channel, and thus diverting more and more of the ebb tide into the junk-channel.\n\n## Stream along the ship-channel\n\nThe ship-channel may be taken as commencing from the upper end of Gough Island, as it was in 1907. We know about how much the stream along the junk-channel has increased already by dredging and training and, as a matter of course, the stream along the other way—the ship-channel—must have decreased. The capacity of a stream is determined by the wetted perimeter of the channel and the velocity. That the velocity has decreased in a marked degree is found in preceding reports, but from this does not follow at once a decrease in cross-section. The latter means silting, and with the very fine matter in suspension, as here the velocity must decrease considerably before any settling can be expected.\n\nShanghae, April 23, 1909.\n\n## Survey\n\nJunk-channel was sounded three times during the quarter. Lines run 300 feet to 400 feet between the normal lines. In January from storm to signal, in February from storm to half-way between salient and limit, and in March from storm to Pheasant Point; besides this eleven lines of soundings were run at salient and two lines between salient and limit. Fourteen lines were run from the shore to the normal line between Dyke End and storm, and eight lines of shore soundings were taken 300 feet apart from Dyke End Crib. Twenty-five lines of soundings were run into deep water from the two Dolphin poles at the inner bar. That part of the river between Signal and Joss House Jetty was sounded. Lines 300 feet to 400 feet apart, and sweeps (fifteen lines) taken at Princes and Fort Jetty station. Twenty lines, 80 feet apart, were run around Woosung Spit buoy.\n\nThe shore line was surveyed from Pheasant Point to two stones, and the land from Woosung Creek to Joss Range was surveyed from the shore to about 500 feet inland. Forty-seven lines of shore soundings were taken between Kajow Creek and the Standard Oil Company's wharf.\n\nThe grass line between Black Creek and the Flour Mill point was measured, and fourteen lines of shore soundings, 750 feet apart, were run into deep water. The ship-channel was sounded from Telegraph to Kajow Creek, lines 400 feet to 500 feet apart.\n\nShanghae Harbour.—The bund line between Birts wharf and Soy Chee cotton mill was checked. The frontage of B.C. Lot No. 2,703 was measured to ascertain the area of land to be reclaimed.\n\n## Office Work\n\nAll the above surveys have been plotted on the standard maps, and various tracings were prepared for the engineering department.\n\nH. CHR. MÜLLER.\n\nPage 430",

In the same report, M. de Rijke suggested, as improvement of the river below Upper Gough, the cutting of an entirely new channel from this point to the Yang-tsze. Whatever may be the engineering aspect of this proposal, it was abandoned as impracticable, in consequence of the opposition which was anticipated from the Chinese authorities, to the removal of the mouth of the river from the neighbourhood of Woosung, where forts had been constructed and custom-houses established, and also on the ground that, by the adoption of the project, Woosung, itself a treaty port and important native town, would have been cut off from the sea.\n\nMessrs. Franzius and Bates' Report.\n\n52. In 1902 a German engineer, M. Ludwig Franzius, in conjunction with an American engineer, Mr. Lindon W. Bates, submitted a general report on the river, and put forward, as an alternative to M. de Rijke's scheme, a proposal for the development of the Ship Channel as the main navigation track to Shanghai. One of the principal contentions in this report was that the Ship Channel could be improved and maintained at much less cost than the Junk Channel.\n\nVI—FINAL SCHEME OF IMPROVEMENTS.\n\n53. As already stated (paragraph 26), it was not until 1905 that it was definitely decided to improve the river, and that M. de Rijke was appointed engineer-in-chief. An entirely new survey was proceeded with, it being found, in some reaches, that great changes had occurred.\n\n54. M. de Rijke was not requested to submit a general plan of the works to be constructed prior to the same being commenced, nor was an estimate of their cost prepared, the improvements being carried out generally on the lines laid down in his 1898 report, no modifications of any magnitude or importance being considered, by reason of such changes in the river as had taken place in the meantime.\n\nCommencement of Works.\n\n55. The works were commenced early in 1907, those portions which appeared at the moment to require priority in attention being first taken in hand, the most important being the training works at Woosung and those at the lower end of Gough Island.\n\nThe latter were necessary for the maintenance of Ship Channel and the depth of water over the Inner Bar as then existing, until the time arrived for opening the Junk Channel for navigation. Other subsidiary works for confining or enlarging the channel were also designed at Pheasant Point, Pootung Point, and the Chinese city at Shanghai, as well as many small protective works to the banks at threatened places.\n\n\"Normal Lines.”\n\n56. From the upper limit of the river near Kiangnan Arsenal to the Yang-tsze \"normal lines\" were laid down by M. de Rijke, the width between the same being based on that of the stream in Black Point Reach, which was considered to be the best naturally maintained portion of the river below Shanghai. M. de Rijke's proposals included the cutting back or bringing forward of the low-water margin to confine the stream as far as practicable within the \"normal lines.\" These lines have been adopted by the Whangpoo Conservancy Board, and all structures such as wharves erected in the river, have rightly to be carried out in conformity with the same.\n\nVII—DESCRIPTION OF WORKS ALREADY MENTIONED.\n\n57. The works referred to in this section are shown upon the accompanying drawings Nos. 1 and 2, those coloured green are entirely or almost entirely completed, those coloured red are further proposals considered essential by M. de Rijke but not yet commenced.\n\n58. It should here be mentioned that in the following description the term 'parallel work\" is applied to any structures lying longitudinally with the axis of the stream, whilst the expression \"crib\" is used for any structure at a right angle to the river bank. A \"crib work\" is a combination of a length of \"parallel work\" with one or more \"cribs.\"\n\n59. Generally speaking, the whole of the training works have been carried out on the Dutch system of mattresses loaded and protected with rubble stone. The various forms of fascine work comprising \"zinkstuks,\" \"gabbioni,\" \"laag work,\" referred to in the following paragraphs are described in detail in the appendix to this report.*\n\n60. We propose, in the first instance, to describe the works mentioned above and coloured green, being those which are already either completed or well in progress.\n\nWoosung Fort Jetty.\n\n61. The works at Woosung consist of a training pier known as \"Fort Jetty,\" commencing at the shore lines on the left bank of the river and projecting for a length of about 4,500 feet towards the Yang-tsze, on a curve of 75,000 feet radius. The object of this work is to confine the tidal flow over the site of the outer bar, and to cause the currents to have a true lead into and out of the Whangpoo. At the inner end of the jetty a small \"work harbour\" has been formed for the accommodation of craft engaged in connection with the improvement works. The jetty has also been extended up the river on the \"normal line\" a short distance above the \"work harbour,\" where it is connected with the shore, at its upper end, by a strong crib. A considerable area has been reclaimed at the root of the \"Fort Jetty,\" between the latter and the original shore-line northward of the \"work harbour\" by means of dredgings from the Junk Channel deposited there.\n\n62. Both the jetty and the walls of the \"work harbour\" and sea dyke are built upon \"zinkstuk\" mattresses. The upper part of the jetty is composed of a stone covering, finished with a protective coating of 5-ton concrete blocks. Six rows of piles are driven longitudinally on the line of the jetty which serve to keep in place the stone covering and the concrete blocks.\n\n63. The \"work harbour\" is still being dredged, but the deposit of silt within the enclosure is so rapid that the contractors are experiencing difficulty in providing the required depth of 6 feet at low-water ordinary spring tide simultaneously over the entire area of the basin. The shore-line up-stream of the \"work harbour\" on the concave, or Woosung, side is protected as far as the new railway bund, by Chinese pile and timber work having a stone apron.\n\n64. The whole of the foregoing works, which were practically complete at the commencement of this year, were carried out under a lump-sum contract by the East Asiatic Dredging Company, the price being 1,997,798 Shanghai taels. To this sum must be added 23,326 Shanghai taels for extra works, making the total cost 2,021,124 Shanghai taels.\n\nTraining Works at Gough Island.\n\n65. The works at Gough Island, especially those at the upper end, constitute the most important feature of the improvements which have been carried out on the Whangpoo. The main object of these works was the closing of the Ship Channel and the radical improvement of the Junk Channel by concentrating the whole energy of the tidal movement in the latter.\n\nLow Gough Works.\n\n66. To effect these objects a parallel work of training-bank has been formed at the northern end of the island, on a foundation of \"zinkstuks,\" stretching towards the Yang-tsze for a distance of 5,400 feet. Extending up-stream from the mainland near Pheasant Point, a second parallel work has been constructed, also formed mostly of \"zinkstuks\" and joined to the shore by a crib. The opening between the ends of these two main parallel banks is 1,400 feet in width, and whilst these works are of assistance in directing the tidal flow into Junk Channel, the considerable width of the opening between the ends of the banks permits, for such time as is desirable, of the easy ingress and egress of tidal water into what is now a cul-de-sac, formerly the site of the old Ship Channel, which under existing conditions will in course of time naturally silt up.\n\n[2958 hA--1]\n\n* Not printed.\n\nF\n\n400",

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received April 10.)\n\n**(No. 126.)**\nPeking, March 22, 1911.\n\nWITH reference to my telegram No. 70 of the 7th instant, relative to the dispute which has arisen between the Portuguese and Chinese authorities on the subject of a sea-wall at Macao, I have the honour to report that His Majesty's consul-general at Canton informs me in a further telegram, dated the 16th March, that no agreement had so far resulted from the meeting. The Viceroy at Canton had asked not only that the dyke should be allowed to stand, but that the adjacent riparian owners to the south of it, on the Portuguese side of the provisional line of 1890, should be allowed to extend the construction. It appears that the Governor of Macao is prepared to agree to the first part of this request, but that he will under no circumstances assent to the second. The position is aggravated by the local self-government societies, who are endeavouring to inflame public opinion, and it is seemingly further complicated by a divergence of views between the Governor of Macao and the Portuguese chargé d'affaires.\n\nNo progress is likely to be made in the matter until instructions arrive from Lisbon.\n\nI have, &c.\nJ. N. JORDAN.\n\n[1974 k-3]\n\n276\n\n## \n\nstructed from (1) Peking to Harbin (via Jehol and Tao-nan-fu), and (2) from Tsitsihar to Mergen.\n\nHe was promised an opportunity of discussing the matter with M. Stolypin, and was told that the project would be laid before the Council of Ministers.\n\nRussia has recently sent a commission to these regions to investigate, and it is perhaps not too much to suppose that M. Kokovtsoff's inclination to favour the present scheme is based on its report.\n\nThe following considerations may throw some light on Russia's attitude, and I have drawn up the accompanying rough map in order to illustrate them.\n\n1. By the Secret Russo-Japanese Agreement of 1907 (confirmed in 1910) spheres of influence were established in Manchuria, but the line of demarcation of these spheres stopped short to the westward at the parallel of 122° east of Greenwich. From the maps available here it is impossible to locate Tao-nan-fu exactly, but it appears to lie very near that parallel and the projected railway could probably be so arranged as not to encroach anywhere on the Japanese sphere.\n\n2. By the same secret agreement Russia is given a free hand in Outer Mongolia. Moreover, according to Lord ffrench, she holds an option for a line from Hailar to Peking, and on M. Kokovtsoff's own showing, she is afraid of Japan, and convinced that sooner or later the whole of Southern Manchuria will fall to the Japanese. In these circumstances, the advantage to Russia of a Chinese railway running up between her sphere of influence in Mongolia and the Japanese sphere of Southern Manchuria is obvious. The Chinese line would, the Chinese hope, act as a colonising factor, and, if this hope is realised, a wedge of thickly-populated Chinese territory would be driven in between Russia and Japan.\n\n3. The difficulty of supplying Vladivostock with meat has long been a much-discussed problem. At the time of the Russo-Japanese war, meat went up to famine prices, and all the deer on the outlying islands were killed off to supply the town. The lines from Mergen to Tsitsihar and from Tao-nan-fu to Harbin would both tap rich cattle districts, and their construction would greatly assist in the solution of the problem.\n\n4. The strategic value of the line to Russia would be considerable. It would give her direct and rapid communication with Peking, without touching anywhere on Japanese lines or spheres of influence, and it would not be open to Japanese attack from the sea.\n\nOther points to consider are the probable attitudes of the Japanese and Chinese.\n\n1. The Japanese will probably object strongly, but if the line is kept carefully to the west of the 122nd degree of longitude and is supported by the Russians, it is hard to see how, in view of the terms of their secret agreement with Russia, they can veto the construction of the line.\n\n2. The one aim and object of the Chinese is to save some part of Manchuria before it is too late. They propose to do this by a system of colonisation. The Chinchow-Aigun scheme would probably have been more effective for this purpose, and the port on the Gulf of Pe-chi-li was doubtless an attraction, but that scheme has for the present been absolutely vetoed, and the suggested alternative line has its advantages. It would probably be a good deal more costly to build, and its strategic value to Russia might militate against it in the eyes of the Chinese, but on the other hand it would have its terminus in the capital, would be comparatively safe from the Japanese, would open up new country, and would be connected with a ready-made port at Tient-sin, the trade of which it would doubtless do much to foster.\n\nP.S. Since writing the above, I have again seen Lord ffrench, who tells me that on the 4th April he was received by M. Stolypine. M. Stolypine assured him that he personally was in favour of the scheme, but said that he could not give him a definite reply in the name of the Government until he had talked the matter over with the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Ministers of Finance and War.\n\n* In 1903 Mr. Claud Russell and the Hon. Michael Hicks-Beach travelled from Peking to Tsitsihar viâ Jehol, following in their first stages very much the line which the projected railway would take. I believe Mr. Russell furnished a short report of his journey to the Foreign Office and published an account of it in the \"Geographical Journal.\" The country, even to-day, is very little known, and these accounts might be of interest.\n\nThis Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.\n\n## AFFAIRS OF CHINA\n\n15371\n[April 10.]\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n[13247]\n\nRece Rrat || MAY ||\n\nNo. 1.\nSECTION 3.",

You all know, of course, that there have been very disastrous floods on the West River, and although I cannot give you full particulars of the distress occasioned thereby, it is no doubt widespread. This is an extract from a despatch from the Tutuh responsible for the Province to the Consul-General, whom I asked to make inquiries on the subject. It says:--\n\nThe floods this year have been more disastrous than any that have been known in many years. In Kwangchow and Shaoch'ing a clean sweep has been made of all the dykes, the worst destruction having been caused at the Lo Ko, Ting An, and Sang Yuen dykes in the Namboi District, and at the Yeng Lo dyke in the San Hui District. The victims of the floods are scattered all over the country and their state is indeed pitiful to look upon. In connection with the local charitable societies and institutions, I am doing my utmost to provide the relief that is required, and in response to your telephone message I have the honour to send you this brief description of the state of things with the request that you will be good enough to convey it to His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong.\"\n\nIn order to gain further particulars I sent out Mr. A. E. Wood, the first Assistant Secretary for Chinese Affairs, and he has just returned from Canton, and says most excellent work is being done by the Government and by the charitable society there known as the Kau Teoi Kung Sho, who have already sent vast quantities of rice to the starving people right up as far as Nanning. The Tung Wah Hospital in this Colony has already sent food to the value of $20,000 to the Kau Tsoi Kung Sho for distribution, while the proposal now is, if you vote the money which appears on the orders of the day, to make that the nucleus of a public subscription, and that subscription would be raised by a committee which I propose to appoint of all nationalities here in the Colony - Chinese, British, and other European and Americans.\n\nThen, in order to assist the Chinese Charitable Society and the Chinese Authorities themselves in the organisation for the distribution, I propose, with their concurrence, which they have already given, that Mr. Wood shall proceed to the Shiu Hing District and there assist in the organisation of the distribution of food, and subsequently in such other relief work as there may be funds for. The Tutuh has very kindly offered to place a gunboat at his disposal, which will be moored at Shiu Hing for Mr. Wood's accommodation, and Mr. Wood will act there in conjunction with a local official on the spot who already has a very good grip of the situation.\n\nI think that these arrangements will be practically under Government auspices, and Mr. Wood at Shiu Hing will be the agent of the Government and of the subscribers to the fund, and he will communicate with us from time to time of the progress made and as to the necessity of funds. I hope that these arrangements meet with your approval, and if they do I shall proceed, after the vote has been taken, to appoint a committee the names of which will be published in due course.\n\nI can only say I have not the slightest doubt that I echo the views of all the members of the Council and the community in general when I say that we deeply sympathise with the population in the district in the neighbouring province which has been visited by this terrible disaster.\n\nHon. Mr. Lau Chu Pak-I beg to second your Excellency's resolution.\n\nThe resolution, which was as under, was then read by his Excellency, put to the meeting, and carried unanimously:\n\nThat this Council on behalf of the community of Hongkong desires to express the deepest sympathy with the sufferers by the recent disastrous floods in the West River, and it is further resolved that a sum of $50,000 be disbursed from the General Revenue of the Colony for the relief of those who are in distress.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-There is no further business, gentlemen. Thank you for your attendance.",

        "content_text": "## \n\nthing in the history of mankind. The fact that the convention had been signed by all the Powers with only two exceptions demonstrated the great advance that had been made towards the end in view.\n\nOn the motion of Mr. van Dyke, the senior delegate of the United States, M. Cremer, who had presided at the second Conference, was again elected to the chair; and M. Loudon was appointed honorary president.\n\nA loyal and dutiful message was ordered to be conveyed to Her Majesty the Queen.\n\nFrench was adopted as the official language, the secretariate was appointed, and the twelve rules of procedure which had been followed at the previous Conferences were again passed.\n\nA Commission de Rédaction, consisting of Sir William Collins, Baron Fallon, M. van Deventer, and Mr. Charles Denby, was appointed, also a Press committee, consisting of M. de Jongh, Mirza Mahmoud Khan, and Mr. Archer.\n\nM. Aranha, the Brazilian delegate, raised the question of fixing a date as from which the convention should come into force, whether all the united Powers had adhered or not.\n\nMr. van Dyke, the senior delegate of the United States, gave notice of a resolution binding the signatory Powers to ratify as soon as possible, and to put the convention into force as from the 1st December, 1914.\n\nM. Marcellin Pellet, the French delegate, observed that to put the convention into force without the adhesion of all the Powers would create a commercial monopoly highly remunerative to the non-adherent States. Further discussion was adjourned until the next session.\n\nAt the commencement of the second full session of the Conference on the 16th June, M. Cremer, the president, explained, for the benefit of those delegates who had not attended the previous Conferences, the changed position of affairs which confronted the third Conference compared with the state of things dealt with by the second, when the signatures of no fewer than twelve Powers were wanting. The present Conference was called in obedience to a resolution passed by its predecessor with a view to consider not the possibility of depositing ratifications, for that had been decided affirmatively, but of bringing the convention into force notwithstanding the abstention of two or three Powers whose co-operation had been invited. He concluded by stating that the motion, of which notice had been given by the United States delegation, was in order, but before entering upon its discussion, he invited any statement on behalf of any Government which might be ready to proceed to ratification.\n\nHaving regard to the terms of our instructions and to the nature of the proposals to be made on behalf of the American Government, we deemed it advisable at once to state clearly the position of Great Britain, and indeed we had previously advised the President that we thought some general discussion on the situation as now disclosed would probably be generally advantageous before proceeding to discuss the fixation of a definite date as from which the convention would automatically come into force as provided by the proposed American resolution.\n\nWe therefore informed the Conference that, as already intimated by M. Loudon, Great Britain was now prepared to ratify the convention, and that we entertained the hope that all the other signatory Powers were also ready to do so; that His Majesty's Government cordially recognised the success which had attended the efforts of the Netherlands Government in securing so many additional signatures since the rising of the second Conference, and shared the regret expressed at the abstention of Turkey and Servia and the partial abstention of Greece.\n\nThe attitude of His Majesty's Government was, we said, as follows: If all the signatory Powers were ready to ratify, the convention would, in accordance with the effectuating clauses, come into force automatically three months after the receipt by the Netherlands Government of the last act of ratification. The minutes of the first and second Conferences, however, showed that we had always contemplated the possibility of a situation arising like that now confronting us, owing to the abstention of one or two Powers. Article 23 prescribed two different routes by which ratification might be achieved:\n\n1. Consequential on signature by all the invited Powers without convoking a conference; and\n2. In case all such signatures had not been received by the 31st December, 1912, to meet to reconsider the question of ratification, a conference was notwithstanding.\n\n### Page 390\n\nSuch Conference was held in July 1913, and unanimously decided that ratification of the convention should proceed without awaiting signature by all the invited Powers. Article 23 proceeded to state that ratification would take place with as little delay as possible, and article 24 prescribed three months as the period which should elapse between the last deposit of ratification and the coming into force of the convention. But the second Conference had resolved that if the signature of all the invited Powers had not been received by the 31st December, 1913, a fresh Conference should assemble to consider the question of coming into force of the convention. The question therefore arose whether a date could be fixed from which the coming into force should date. It was well also to recall that article 24 provided for the consideration by a Conference of any suggestion relative to ratification, legislation, &c., which could not be resolved otherwise. The position then was that forty-three out of forty-six Powers had signed the convention and nine of the former had already ratified, while several others were ready to do so. It seemed inconceivable that the objects in view should be frustrated by two or three Powers. The decision of the second Conference to proceed with ratification seemed to preclude the suggestion that the convention should not be put in force until every one of the invited Powers had signed it; it might even be possible to contrive measures with a view to neutralise the effects of their abstention, which abstention could not be regarded as a reason for abandoning the humanitarian objects which had been pursued with so much international accord.\n\nM. van Deventer stated that the Second Chamber of the States-General had that day passed the ratification of the convention, and that he had reason to hope that the First Chamber would shortly do the same.\n\nBaron Fallon, delegate for Belgium, announced that he had that morning deposited the ratification of his Government.\n\nM. Carlin, the delegate for Switzerland, explained that in signing the convention, his Government had made the reserve that, for constitutional reasons, it would not be possible to put the convention in force within the three months mentioned in article 24, but that steps were being taken with a view to secure the necessary constitutional modifications and to enact the required cantonal legislation.\n\nM. de Veyga, the Argentine delegate, claimed that his Government should be included among those ready to ratify, as the delay was due solely to constitutional formalities.\n\nM. Huneaus, the Chilean delegate, stated that ratification merely awaited the approval of the Chambers, and M. Seminario added that the Government of Ecuador was in the same position.\n\nM. von Müller, who was at this Conference the sole delegate from Germany, then informed the Conference that the Imperial Government had replied, on the 19th March, to the invitation of the Netherlands that Germany would be unable to take up a different attitude from that assumed at the second Conference. The fact that Germany thought that the moment for ratification had not arrived could not therefore be a matter of surprise. He was authorised to declare that the Imperial Government adhered to the view that an international convention for regulating the manufacture and sale of opium, morphine, and cocaine could not attain the results desired so long as certain States which had not entered into any formal engagement were able to carry on an unrestricted trade. He cited the reserves attached to the signatures of Sweden, Montenegro, and Greece, as well as to the abstention of Turkey and Servia. The declaration made by Austria-Hungary could not be regarded as altogether satisfactory. It was therefore to be feared that the desired object could not be attained by reason of such reserves and abstentions. The Imperial Government, to its deep regret, could not therefore, at the present moment, contemplate the possibility of ratifying the convention.\n\nM. de Klercker, the Swedish delegate, at once explained that the adhesion of Sweden was in effect without any reservation.\n\nM. Marcellin Pellet was charged by his Government to announce the adhesion of all the French colonies except those of Indo-China and India, which were in a special position on account of their geographical proximity to the opium-producing countries, China and British India, and the absence of any effective customs barrier against an active contraband. Such abstention, however, would not prevent their co-operation in the struggle against the use of opium.\n\nMr. van Dyke, the United States Minister and first American delegate, expressed the desire of his Government to put the convention into force without any reserve. He proposed the resolution of which he had given notice, binding all the signatory",

        "content_text": "# Powers to Ratify the Convention\n\nPowers to ratify the convention as soon as possible if they have not already done so, and to put the convention in force from the 1st December, 1914. The precise date was subject to modification, to meet the case of States impeded by constitutional difficulties. The question was, could not forty-three civilised nations put in force common action, notwithstanding the abstention of two nations? He spoke at some length on the opium evil and the value of international co-operation, and urged ratification and enforcement of the convention as soon as possible on the part of such of the signatory Powers as were ready to unite in doing so.\n\nM. van Deventer, who acted as first delegate for the Netherlands on the elevation of M. Cremer to the chair, and who again presided most indefatigably and tactfully over the Rédaction Committee, approved of the American proposition. An incontestable success had attended the work of the two previous Conferences. Thirty-two of the thirty-four Powers enumerated in article 22 of the convention as non-signatory had yielded to the arguments of the twelve Powers who met at the first Conference. If Turkey and Servia declined to join, why should not the other Powers unite among themselves to carry out the convention? Turkey and Servia would, it is true, remain free to cultivate the poppy and make morphine and cocaine as well as to sell the products, but only within their own territories. Elsewhere the sale would be under regulation. Such liberty would not long remain attractive or advantageous. Ratification by the Netherlands Government only awaited the action of the First Chamber of the States-General, and they were authorised to declare that in their opinion the convention could be put in force even though some Powers had not signed. They had full power to act in this sense, and supported the American resolution, which they hoped would be carried unanimously.\n\nM. Swétchine, the Minister and delegate for Russia, said that Russia, having been one of the twelve States which had participated in drawing up the convention, was prepared to ratify it, and put it into force so soon as its application could be sufficiently general as to be effective, and that he agreed with the Netherlands delegate that the Conference should seek for unanimous action by the signatories, notwithstanding the refusal of two Powers to accede to their invitation, if, in fact, these were the only Powers not ready to proceed to enforcement. But in reality Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Switzerland, for varying reasons, were unprepared to enforce the convention for a period, long or short, but undetermined. This put a different aspect on the state of affairs, and he inquired whether the Netherlands delegate had realised by what practical method unanimity on the part of the signatories was obtainable.\n\nM. van Deventer replied that he only wished to show that, if all the signatory Powers co-operated, the position would be very strong against the two abstaining countries. In view of the success already obtained, he hoped that impediments on the part of the signatory Powers in ratifying and enforcing the convention would be removed.\n\nM. de Jongh, another Netherlands delegate, supplementing the statement of his colleague, observed that he did not regard the abstention of the two Powers as an insuperable difficulty, and cited the experience of the opium régie in the Netherlands Indies, of which he had been for years the chief, as indicating how effective measures could be exercised against the import and sale of contraband opium, &c. He therefore supported the American resolution.\n\nMr. Yen Hui Ching, the Chinese delegate, maintained that it was too late in the day to raise questions of monopoly and self-interest, as the convention from the first implied the sacrifice of vested interests for humanitarian ends. Besides, if only a small minority of the Powers were not parties to the convention, capitalists would hesitate to embark capital in what would become a hazardous undertaking.\n\nMr. Huneeus, the Chilean delegate, suggested that the fixed date should be eliminated from the American resolution, since countries in which ratification was a parliamentary act could not be bound by it. He considered it premature to discuss measures to counteract abstention by two Powers.\n\nMr. van Dyke said he was indifferent as to the fixed date.\n\nM. de Veyga supported the amendment of the resolution in respect of the date, and considered that that was determined by articles 23 and 24 of the convention.\n\nThe President remarked that the situation had been altered by the decision of the second Conference; our task now was to consider the possibility of putting the convention in force, even though two States refused co-operation.\n\nMr. van Dyke suggested two alternatives, either to fix a date in advance or to let the coming into force follow on ratification by a fixed number of the Powers.\n\nThe President observed that there were eleven Powers whose ratification was only a question of days.\n\nMr. Aimaro Sato, the Japanese Minister and delegate, said that his Government were ready both to ratify and put the convention in force.\n\nIn view of the situation which had been disclosed by the foregoing discussion, and having regard to the terms of our instructions, we thought it well to intervene in the discussion at this stage. We accordingly said that we had listened with great interest to the different communications which had been made, some of which had been received with surprise. Being unaware previously of some of these communications, it had not been possible to judge of the effect of the proposed resolution. It now appeared that certain signatory Powers were unable, solely on constitutional grounds, to proceed to ratification—that was a question of form which time would solve. But was it the case that certain signatory Powers were indisposed to ratify on other than constitutional grounds? Strictly speaking, neither the second nor this Conference, up till now, had definitively resolved that the convention might come into force despite its non-signature by certain invited Powers. Would it not be well to record the decision of the signatory Powers that such coming into force could take place even if all the invited Powers had not signed? The second Conference had actually implied such a procedure. Great Britain was ready to discuss the question of a fixed date, but we were not in a position, without fresh instructions, to decide at once what that date should be.\n\nMr. van Dyke expressed his willingness to meet us and other delegations in the matter of the date, but asked for a vote on the first part of his resolution.\n\nFurther discussion ensued which served to show the difficulty of the Conference \"engaging\" the several Powers represented to ratify the convention as the American resolution would have done.\n\nAt length, on the suggestion of the President, supported by us, a resolution was carried unanimously as follows:-\n\n\"The Conference refers to the Comité de Rédaction the proposals which have been made, in order to bring up a formula which will enable the convention to be put into force between the signatory Powers.\"\n\nThe Comité de Rédaction immediately got to work under the presidency of M. van Deventer. We used our best endeavours to frame the report so as to lend up to a decision on the questions, firstly, of the possibility of the convention coming into force, notwithstanding the abstention of certain invited Powers, and, secondly, of the early ratification by the signatory Powers, so that the coming into force might proceed automatically or as from some agreed date. We were cordially supported in our efforts by the President of the Committee and by Baron Fallon and Mr. Deuby, the other members.\n\nAt the third full session on Thursday, the 12th June, summoned to receive the report from the Comité de Rédaction, the Duc de Calvello, the Italian delegate, announced the deposit that morning of ratification by his Government, and M. Mirza Mahmoud Khan, the Persian delegate, also declared that his Government was ready to ratify.\n\nM. van Deventer, as president of the Comité de Rédaction, then presented its report. It stated briefly that the Conference was invited to reply to two questions:-\n\n1. Is it possible under actual circumstances to put the convention in force? And, if the answer be in the affirmative, then\n2. How is the coming into force among the signatory Powers to be regulated?\n\nIt drew attention to the important distinction contained in article 24 between the coming into force of the convention and the coming into force of the legislative measures contemplated by the convention, reminding the Conference that ample time was allowed by article 24, subsequent to the coming into force of the convention for the preparation and enactment of legislation. The committee accordingly submitted two formulæ as a basis for discussion:-\n\n1. The Conference is of opinion that it is possible to put in force the International Opium Convention of the 23rd January, 1912, notwithstanding the fact that some Powers invited to sign under paragraph 1 of article 23 have not yet signed the convention.\n2. The coming into force of the convention between all the signatory Powers shall take place so soon as the Powers which have already signed, or which have expressed their intention of adhering, shall have ratified it.\n\nPage 391\n\nPage 1",

        "content_text": "2\n\nthing in the history of mankind. The fact that the convention had been signed by all the Powers with only two exceptions demonstrated the great advance that had been made towards the end in view,\n\nOn the motion of Mr. van Dyke, the senior delegate of the United States, M. Cremer, who had presided at the second Conference, was again elected to the chair; and M. Loudon was appointed honorary president.\n\nA loyal and dutiful message was ordered to be conveyed to Her Majesty the Queen.\n\nFrench was adopted as the official language, the secretariate was appointed, and the twelve rules of procedure which had been followed at the previous Conferences were again passed.\n\nA Commission de Rédaction, consisting of Sir William Collins, Baron Fallon, M. van Deventer, and Mr. Charles Denby, was appointed, also a Press committee, consisting of M. de Jongh, Mirza Mahmoud Khan, and Mr. Archer.\n\nM. Aranha, the Brazilian delegate, raised the question of fixing a date as from which the convention should come into force, whether all the united Powers had adhered or not.\n\nMr. van Dyke, the senior delegate of the United States, gave notice of a resolution binding the signatory Powers to ratify as soon as possible, and to put the convention into force as from the 1st December, 1914.\n\nM. Marcellin Pellet, the French delegate, observed that to put the convention into force without the adhesion of all the Powers would create a commercial monopoly highly remunerative to the non-adherent States. Further discussion was adjourned until the next session.\n\nAt the commencement of the second full session of the Conference on the 16th June M. Cremer, the president, explained, for the benefit of those delegates who had not attended the previous Conferences, the changed position of affairs which confronted the third Conference compared with the state of things dealt with by the second, when the signatures of no fewer than twelve Powers were wanting. The present Conference was called in obedience to a resolution passed by its predecessor with a view to consider not the possibility of depositing ratifications for that had been decided affirmatively-but of bringing the convention into force notwithstanding the abstention of two or three Powers whose co-operation had been invited. He concluded by stating that the motion, of which notice had been given by the United States delegation, was in order, but before entering upon its discussion he invited any statement on behalf of any Government which might be ready to proceed to ratification.\n\nHaving regard to the terms of our instructions and to the nature of the proposals to be made on behalf of the American Government, we deemed it advisable at once to state clearly the position of Great Britain, and indeed we had previously advised the President that we thought some general discussion on the situation as now disclosed would probably be generally advantageous before proceeding to discuss the fixation of a definite date as from which the convention would automatically come into force as provided by the proposed American resolution.\n\nWe therefore informed the Conference that, as already intimated by M. Loudon, Great Britain was now prepared to ratify the convention, and that we entertained the hope that all the other signatory Powers were also ready to do so; that His Majesty's Government cordially recognised the success which had attended the efforts of the Netherlands Government in securing so many additional signatures since the rising of the second Conference, and shared the regret expressed at the abstention of Turkey and Servia and the partial abstention of Greece.\n\nThe attitude of His Majesty's Government was, we said, as follows: If all the signatory Powers were ready to ratify, the convention would, in accordance with the effectuating clauses, come into force automatically three months after the receipt by the Netherlands Government of the last act of ratification. The minutes of the first and second Conferences, however, showed that we had always contemplated the possibility of a situation arising like that now confronting us, owing to the abstention of one or two Powers. Article 23 prescribed two different routes by which ratification might be achieved:-\n\n1. Consequential on signature by all the invited Powers without convoking conference; and\n\n2. In case all such signatures had not been received by the 31st December, 1912, a conference was to meet to reconsider the question of ratification notwithstanding.\n\n3\n\nSuch Conference was held in July 1913, and unanimously decided that ratification of the convention should proceed without awaiting signature by all the invited Powers. Article 23 proceeded to state that ratification would take place with as little delay as possible, and article 24 prescribed three months as the period which should elapse between the last deposit of ratification and the coming into force of the convention. But the second Conference had resolved that if the signature of all the invited Powers had not been received by the 31st December, 1913, a fresh Conference should assemble to consider the question of coming into force of the convention. The question therefore arose whether a date could be fixed from which the coming into force should date. It was well also to recall that article 24 provided for the consideration by a Conference of any suggestion relative to ratification, legislation, &c., which could not be resolved otherwise. The position then was that forty-three out of forty-six Powers had signed the convention and nine of the former had already ratified, while several others were ready to do so. It seemed inconceivable that the objects in view should be frustrated by two or three Powers, The decision of the second Conference to proceed with ratification seemed to preclude the suggestion that the convention should not be put in force until every one of the invited Powers had signed it; it might even be possible to contrive measures with a view to neutralise the effects of their abstention, which abstention could not be regarded as a reason for abandoning the humanitarian objects which had been pursued with so much international accord,\n\nM. van Deventer stated that the Second Chamber of the States-General had that day passed the ratification of the convention, and that he had reason to hope that the First Chamber would shortly do the same.\n\nBaron Fallon, delegate for Belgium, announced that he had that morning deposited the ratification of his Government.\n\nM. Carlin, the delegate for Switzerland, explained that in signing the convention his Government had made the reserve that, for constitutional reasons, it would not be possible to put the convention in force within the three months mentioned in article 24, but that steps were being taken with a view to secure the necessary constitutional modifications and to enact the required cantonal legislation.\n\nM. de Verga, the Argentine delegate, claimed that his Government should be included among those ready to ratify, as the delay was due solely to constitutional formalities.\n\nM. Huneeus, the Chilean delegate, stated that ratification merely awaited the approval of the Chambers, and M. Seminario added that the Government of Ecuador was in the same position.\n\nM. von Müller, who was at this Conference the sole delegate from Germany, then informed the Conference that the Imperial Government had replied, on the 19th March, to the invitation of the Netherlands that Germany would be unable to take up a different attitude from that assumed at the second Conference. The fact that Germany thought that the moment for ratification had not arrived could not therefore be a matter of surprise. He was authorised to declare that the Imperial Government adhered to the view that an international convention for regulating the manufacture and sale of opium, morphine, and cocaine could not attain the results desired so long as certain States which had not entered into any formal engagement were able to carry on an unrestricted trade. He cited the reserves attached to the signatures of Sweden, Montenegro, and Greece, as well as to the abstention of Turkey and Servia. The declaration made by Austria-Hungary could not be regarded as altogether satisfactory. It was therefore to be feared that the desired object could not be attained by reason of such reserves and abstentions. The Imperial Government, to its deep regret, could not therefore, at the present moment, contemplate the possibility of ratifying the convention.\n\nM. de Klercker, the Swedish delegate, at once explained that the adhesion of Sweden was in effect without any reservation.\n\nM. Marcellin Pellet was charged by his Government to announce the adhesion of all the French colonies except those of Indo-China and India, which were in a special position on account of their geographical proximity to the opium-producing countries, China and British India, and the absence of any effective customs barrier against an active contraband. Such abstention, however, would not prevent their co-operation in the struggle against the use of opium.\n\nMr. van Dyke, the United States Minister and first American delegate, expressed the desire of his Government to put the convention into force without any reserve. He proposed the resolution of which he had given notice, binding all the signatory\n\n195",

        "content_text": "Powers to ratify the convention as soon as possible if they have not already done so, and to put the convention in force from the 1st December, 1914. The precise date was subject to modification, to meet the case of States impeded by constitutional difficulties. The question was, could not forty-three civilised nations put in force common action, notwithstanding the abstention of two nations? He spoke at some length on the opium evil and the value of international co-operation, and urged ratification and enforcement of the convention as soon as possible on the part of such of the signatory Powers as were ready to unite in doing so.\n\nM. van Deventer, who acted as first delegate for the Netherlands on the elevation of M. Cremer to the chair, and who again presided most indefatigably and tactfully over the Rédaction Committee, approved of the American proposition. An incontestable success had attended the work of the two previous Conferences. Thirty-two of the thirty-four Powers enumerated in article 22 of the convention as non-signatory had yielded to the arguments of the twelve Powers who met at the first Conference. If Turkey and Servia declined to join, why should not the other Powers unite among themselves to carry out the convention? Turkey and Servia would, it is true, remain free to cultivate the poppy and make morphine and cocaine as well as to sell the products, but only within their own territories. Elsewhere the sale would be under regulation. Such liberty would not long remain attractive or advantageous. Ratification by the Netherlands Government only awaited the action of the First Chamber of the States-General, and they were authorised to declare that in their opinion the convention could be put in force even though some Powers had not signed. They had full power to act in this sense, and supported the American resolution, which they hoped would be carried unanimously.\n\nM. Swétchine, the Minister and delegate for Russia, said that Russia, having been one of the twelve States which had participated in drawing up the convention, was prepared to ratify it, and put it into force so soon as its application could be sufficiently general as to be effective, and that he agreed with the Netherlands delegate that the Conference should seek for unanimous action by the signatories, notwithstanding the refusal of two Powers to accede to their invitation, if, in fact, these were the only Powers not ready to proceed to enforcement. But in reality Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Switzerland, for varying reasons, were unprepared to enforce the convention for a period, long or short, but undetermined.\n\nThis put a different aspect on the state of affairs, and he inquired whether the Netherlands delegate had realised by what practical method unanimity on the part of the signatories was obtainable.\n\nM. van Deventer replied that he only wished to show that, if all the signatory Powers co-operated, the position would be very strong against the two abstaining countries. In view of the success already obtained, he hoped that impediments on the part of the signatory Powers in ratifying and enforcing the convention would be removed.\n\nM. de Jongh, another Netherlands delegate, supplementing the statement of his colleague, observed that he did not regard the abstention of the two Powers as an insuperable difficulty, and cited the experience of the opium régie in the Netherlands Indies, of which he had been for years the chief, as indicating how effective measures could be exercised against the import and sale of contraband opium, &c. He therefore supported the American resolution.\n\nMr. Yen Hui Ch'ing, the Chinese delegate, maintained that it was too late in the day to raise questions of monopoly and self-interest, as the convention from the first implied the sacrifice of vested interests for humanitarian ends. Besides, if only a small minority of the Powers were not parties to the convention, capitalists would hesitate to embark capital in what would become a hazardous undertaking.\n\nMr. Huneeus, the Chilean delegate, suggested that the fixed date should be eliminated from the American resolution, since countries in which ratification was a parliamentary act could not be bound by it. He considered it premature to discuss measures to counteract abstention by two Powers.\n\nMr. van Dyke said he was indifferent as to the fixed date.\n\nM. de Veyga supported the amendment of the resolution in respect of the date, and considered that that was determined by articles 23 and 24 of the convention.\n\nThe President remarked that the situation had been altered by the decision of the second Conference; our task now was to consider the possibility of putting the convention in force, even though two States refused co-operation.\n\nMr. van Dyke suggested two alternatives, either to fix a date in advance or to let the coming into force follow on ratification by a fixed number of the Powers.\n\nThe President observed that there were eleven Powers whose ratification was only a question of days.\n\nMr. Aimaro Sato, the Japanese Minister and delegate, said that his Government were ready both to ratify and put the convention in force.\n\nIn view of the situation which had been disclosed by the foregoing discussion, and having regard to the terms of our instructions, we thought it well to intervene in the discussion at this stage. We accordingly said that we had listened with great interest to the different communications which had been made, some of which had been received with surprise. Being unaware previously of some of these communications, it had not been possible to judge of the effect of the proposed resolution. It now appeared that certain signatory Powers were unable, solely on constitutional grounds, to proceed to ratification—that was a question of form which time would solve. But was it the case that certain signatory Powers were indisposed to ratify on other than constitutional grounds? Strictly speaking, neither the second nor this Conference, up till now, had definitively resolved that the convention might come into force despite its non-signature by certain invited Powers. Would it not be well to record the decision of the signatory Powers that such coming into force could take place even if all the invited Powers had not signed? The second Conference had actually implied such a procedure. Great Britain was ready to discuss the question of a fixed date, but we were not in a position, without fresh instructions, to decide at once what that date should be.\n\nMr. van Dyke expressed his willingness to meet us and other delegations in the matter of the date, but asked for a vote on the first part of his resolution.\n\nFurther discussion ensued which served to show the difficulty of the Conference \"engaging\" the several Powers represented to ratify the convention as the American resolution would have done.\n\nAt length on the suggestion of the President, supported by us, a resolution was carried unanimously as follows:-\n\n\"The Conference refers to the Comité de Rédaction the proposals which have been made, in order to bring up a formula which will enable the convention to be put into force between the signatory Powers.\"\n\nThe Comité de Rédaction immediately got to work under the presidency of M. van Deventer. We used our best endeavours to frame the report so as to lead up to a decision on the questions, firstly, of the possibility of the convention coming into force, notwithstanding the abstention of certain invited Powers, and, secondly, of the early ratification by the signatory Powers, so that the coming into force might proceed automatically or as from some agreed date. We were cordially supported in our efforts by the President of the Committee and by Baron Fallon and Mr. Denby, the other members.\n\nAt the third full session on Thursday, the 18th June, summoned to receive the report from the Comité de Rédaction, the Duc de Calvello, the Italian delegate, announced the deposit that morning of ratification by his Government, and M. Mirza Mahmoud Khan, the Persian delegate, also declared that his Government was ready to ratify.\n\nM. van Deventer, as president of the Comité de Rédaction, then presented its report. It stated briefly that the Conference was invited to reply to two questions:\n\n1. Is it possible under actual circumstances to put the convention in force? And,\n\nif the answer be in the affirmative, then\n\n2. How is the coming into force among the signatory Powers to be regulated?\n\nIt drew attention to the important distinction contained in article 24 between the coming into force of the convention and the coming into force of the legislative measures contemplated by the convention, reminding the Conference that ample time was allowed by article 24, subsequent to the coming into force of the convention for the preparation and enactment of legislation. The committee accordingly submitted two formulae as a basis for discussion:-\n\n1. The Conference is of opinion that it is possible to put in force the International Opium Convention of the 23rd January, 1912, notwithstanding the fact that some Powers invited to sign under paragraph 1 of article 23 have not yet signed the convention.\n\n2. The coming into force of the convention between all the signatory Powers shall take place so soon as the Powers which have already signed, or which have expressed their intention of adhering, shall have ratified it.

        "content_text": "10\n\ndans un ou deux jours le Gouvernement grec me fera savoir s'il peut abandonner cette réserve. La Turquie et la Serbie ont refusé catégoriquement, la première pour des raisons d'ordre économique, la seconde parce qu'elle n'avait pu suffisamment étudier la question. Sur la demande du Gouvernement britannique et avec l'appui des Etats-Unis j'ai encore dernièrement tâché d'obtenir l'adhésion partielle de la Turquie c.-à-d. en ce qui regarde non pas l'opium mais le commerce de la morphine et de la cocaine. Mes efforts ont été vains. Une proposition analogue que je me suis permis d'adresser au Gouvernement Serbe n'a guère trouvé un accueil plus favorable.\n\nQuant à la Grande-Bretagne qui à la dernière conférence avait déclaré ne pouvoir encore ratifier la Convention, vous serez heureux d'apprendre que, la signature de toutes ses colonies et dépendances étant à présent obtenue, le Gouvernement britannique vient de me faire savoir qu'il n'a plus aucune objection à ratifier la Convention dans le plus bref délai. Jusqu'à présent huit ratifications ont été déposées. La question qui se pose aujourd'hui, Messieurs, est celle de savoir si la Convention peut entrer en vigueur malgré l'attitude de la Turquie et de la Serbie et dans le cas où la Grèce maintiendrait sa réserve.\n\nLe plaisir que j'éprouve à vous souhaiter la bienvenue dans cette salle qui déjà est familière à la plupart d'entre vous, n'est guère mitigé par la réflexion que votre présence ici prouve que le but auquel tendent nos efforts n'est pas encore atteint. Un accord entre toutes les Puissances du globe visant à dompter pour le bien de l'humanité une passion attisée par l'appât du lucre est chose nouvelle dans l'histoire des peuples. Cet accord ne pouvait s'établir en un tour de main et le fait que la Convention est à présent signée par toutes les Puissances à l'exception de deux atteste le grand pas que nous avons fait vers la réalisation de nos desseins.\n\nIl faut à tout prix que la grande oeuvre entreprise à Shanghai, sur l'initiative des Etats-Unis et avec l'admirable coopération de la Chine, soit menée à bonne fin, car l'intérêt de l'humanité est en jeu et cette oeuvre est une de celles qui rapprochent les peuples.\n\nJe sais qu'on doute de la réussite de cette conférence. Moi-même j'ai partagé ces doutes devant l'opposition que rencontraient nos efforts, mais j'ai confiance aujourd'hui que, forts du désir unanime de vos Gouvernements d'exécuter la Convention dans le plus bref délai, vous en trouverez les moyens.\n\nC'est avec cet espoir, avec cette confiance, Messieurs, que je déclare ouverte la troisième conférence de l'Opium.\n\nSon Exe. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique: En qualité de Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, la Puissance qui la première a convoqué la Commission Internationale de l'Opium à Shanghai, j'ai l'honneur et le plaisir de vous proposer d'accorder la Présidence de cette troisième conférence à l'honorable Monsieur CREMER, Premier Délégué des Pays-Bas, qui a dirigé les séances de la deuxième conférence avec tant de tact et d'impartialité. (Applaudissements).\n\nM. Cremer, Délégué des Pays-Bas, prenant place au fauteuil présidentiel, prononce l'allocution suivante:\n\nMessieurs les Délégués,\n\nAvant de commencer nos travaux, je tiens à vous exprimer mes remerciements sincères pour la confiance que vous avez bien voulu me témoigner en m'appelant à la Présidence de votre illustre assemblée.\n\nSi je n'hésite pas à accepter la tâche que par une délicate courtoisie envers ma patrie, vous avez bien voulu placer entre les mains de son Premier Délégué, c'est que j'ose espérer, Messieurs, que l'esprit de bienveillance et de collaboration mutuelle qui a si heureusement présidé à la conférence de l'année passée, ne manquera pas d'animer les discussions qui nous attendent. Je ne me dissimule pas les difficultés qui sont inhérentes à l'honneur que vous venez de me conférer,\n\n11\n\nmais je connais aussi l'aide précieuse que je puis attendre de votre science et de votre dévouement. Je crois répondre à votre sentiment unanime en demandant à Son Excellence M. le Jonkheer LourDON, Ministre des Affaires Etrangères, de vouloir bien rester en contact avec la conférence en acceptant le titre de Président d'Honneur.\n\n(Applaudissements.)\n\nComme notre Président d'Honneur vient de le remarquer, deux Puissances se sont abstenues de joindre leurs signatures à celles des autres pays du monde. Cette circonstance, quelque décevante qu'elle soit, ne doit pas nous décourager, au contraire je nourris le ferme espoir que nous serons quand même en mesure de trouver une solution, qui comme les travaux des conférences précédentes, manquera pas de marquer un progrès réel vers la réalisation du but humanitaire que nous avons en vue.\n\nLe Président dit qu'il estime comme son premier devoir de proposer d'adresser à S. M. la Reine des Pays-Bas le message suivant:\n\n\"Les représentants des Etats réunis à La Haye pour la troisième conférence internationale de l'opium ont l'honneur de déposer aux pieds de Votre Majesté Royale l'expression de leur reconnaissance pour l'accueil gracieux qui leur est fait dans sa résidence en même temps que l'hommage de leur très respectueux dévouement\".\n\n(Assentiment unanime.)\n\nLe Président propose d'adopter comme à la première et à la seconde conférence la langue française comme langue officielle et de rédiger les procès-verbaux en cette langue. Toutefois l'usage d'autres langues sera autorisé dans la conférence.\n\nCette proposition est adoptée.\n\nSur la proposition du Président la conférence désigne pour composer le secrétariat:\n\nM. le Dr. J. A. A. H. DE BEAUFORT, Chef de bureau au Ministère des Affaires Etrangères, Secrétaire-Général;\n\nM. H. PETITPIED, Consul de France à La Haye, Secrétaire;\n\nM. H.

M. les Délégués était simplement s'ils pourraient néanmoins déposer les ratifications ou non.\n\nNous avons alors entendu que pour diverses raisons, mais surtout à cause du grand nombre d'abstentions, quelques Puissances ne pouvaient pas encore se décider à la ratification.\n\nMais en même temps, pour ne pas compromettre la réussite du grand travail complété par la première conférence, elle a émis un vœu qui avait pour but, non seulement de faciliter de nouvelles démarches en vue de décider les abstenants à nous joindre, mais aussi selon les paroles de M. le Président du Comité de Rédaction qui l'avait rédigé \"allait plus loin que de prolonger d'une année la période\n\n275",

Seules nos possessions de l'Indo-Chine et de l'Inde ne peuvent, dès à présent, s'engager d'une façon ferme, par suite de leur situation géographique qui en fait les voisines de deux grands pays producteurs d'opium, la Chine et l'Inde anglaise. Elles ne sont protégées par aucune barrière douanière efficace contre une contrebande très active; mais leur abstention ne les empêchera pas de prêter leur concours à la lutte entreprise contre l'usage de l'opium. \n\nLe Gouvernement des établissements français de l'Océanie n'a pas encore fait connaître sa décision, mais mon Gouvernement compte en être avisé très prochainement. \n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique: Mon Gouvernement m'a chargé d'exprimer sa bonne volonté et son désir de mettre en vigueur la Convention internationale de l'Opium sans aucune réserve en ce qui concerne le Gouvernement des Etats-Unis. \n\n(Applaudissements.) \n\nJ'ai l'honneur de proposer d'adopter la résolution que j'ai présentée dans la séance d'hier. En la proposant, je tiens à dire que la date qui s'y trouve mentionnée, n'a pas grande importance; elle s'y trouve seulement en vue d'indiquer une date quelconque, mais je ne m'oppose nullement à modifier cette partie de la résolution. Je suis sûr que mon Gouvernement n'hésiterait pas à donner toutes les facilités et à faire toutes les modifications nécessaires pour les cas mentionnés par l'honorable Délégué de Suisse et par le représentant du Gouvernement de l'Equateur ou d'un autre Gouvernement quelconque qui peut se trouver devant des difficultés d'ordre constitutionnel ou législatif. \n\nLa question qui devra être examinée par cette conférence est très simple: Les quarante-trois nations civilisées qui se sont réunies pour combattre l'opiomanie peuvent-elles mettre en vigueur l'arrangement commun, malgré l'abstention de deux nations? Pourquoi pas? \n\nI. Cette campagne contre l'opiomanie n'est pas seulement un mouvement humanitaire mais aussi un mouvement commercial et social. Elle est dans l'intérêt réel de chaque pays qui y prend part. L'opium en tant que médicament contrôlé, a de grands avantages et nous ne nous proposons pas de nous mêler de cette vente si ce n'est pour la règlementer en augmentant ainsi l'efficacité du médicament en garantissant sa pureté plus grande et une plus grande prudence dans son emploi. L'emploi de l'opium comme narcotique toxique est un mal infernal qui tue l'âme bien vite, le corps au contraire lentement; il dégrade et abaisse ceux qui en abusent et ceux qui en font le commerce. \n\nC'est un double poison qui abaisse d'abord et détruit ensuite. Le trafic de l'opium en dehors des limites restreintes à l'usage médical peut, en effet, conduire à un certain gain d'argent, mais il comporte une perte plus grande pour l'humanité. A la fin il affaiblit, dégrade et appauvrit la nation qui l'encourage. En conséquence nous, les nations civilisées, avons le droit de dire que nous ferons dans notre propre intérêt tout ce que nous pouvons ensemble et chacun pour soi afin de réduire, de supprimer et finalement d'abolir l'opiomanie et le trafic qui en existe. II. Ce mouvement est international dans le bon sens du mot. Il n'appartient pas à ce faux internationalisme qui cherche à ignorer ou à détruire les droits des nations 'contrenationalisme\" pourrais-je dire. Non, cette campagne contre l'opiomanie admet des bornes matérielles, des lois, des règles et cherche à les rendre plus effectives. Elle considère les nations comme de bons voisins capables d'agir ensemble en vue d'obtenir un bien commun. C'est une action internationale \n\n21 \n\nde la bonne espèce. Nous faisons exactement la même chose déjà dans plusieurs directions. \n\nNous collaborons afin d'enrayer et de prévenir une maladie endémique. Si un rat infecté de peste est découvert à Portland, à Oregon, à Java, ou en Norvège, la nouvelle en est rapidement transmise de nation en nation et nous prenons des mesures communes pour prévenir l'expansion de la maladie. \n\nNous collaborons afin de prohiber l'usage de poisons dans la guerre. L'emploi d'une bombe remplie de gaz délétère, d'une balle explosive chargée d'ingrédients empoisonnés est défendu aux nations civilisées. Nous n'avons pas attendu que les tribus sauvages abandonnent leurs flèches empoisonnées, pour conclure notre arrangement. \n\nPourquoi est-ce-que nous ne défendrions pas par ce consentement international l'emploi dans le commerce de poisons, préparés dans la seule intention d'empoisonner? Pourquoi est-ce-que nous attendrions de faire ce pas en avant, parce qu'une tribu ou peut-être deux tribus restent en arrière ? \n\nIII. Mais on a dit que si nous faisons ce pas en avant, les deux ou trois, ou quatre tribus qui restent en arrière, profiteront d'un point de vue commercial à nos dépends en continuant le trafic de l'opium lorsque nous aurons abandonné le commerce de poison. Je ne le crois pas. Si trente, ou vingt, ou dix, ou même six nations civilisées déclarent dans leurs lois douanières qu'un article est de la contrebande, aucune autre nation ne prospérera en trafiquant illégitimement de cet article. \n\nLes individus peuvent s'enrichir, mais le pays n'en profitera pas. Jamais la prospérité d'une nation n'a eu pour base la contrebande. D'ailleurs, les pays qui abandonneront le trafic de l'opium gagneront en force et en autorité morale plus qu'ils ne pourront perdre éventuellement dans le commerce. \n\nLorsqu'il aura été rendu improfitable par des embargos sévères et des lois d'exclusion, le commerce de poisons deviendra de plus en plus odieux aux yeux du monde et de moins en moins désirable pour ceux qui y tiennent. Et les tribus arriérées et déshonorées par l'exemple des autres, abandonneront elles-mêmes ensuite de l'expérience le trafic du poison comme un jeu qui ne vaut pas la chandelle. \n\nLe succès des Etats-Unis aux Philippines démontre que le trafic de l'opium peut être arrêté, amoindri et réellement brisé par des lois de non-importation. Si une nation peut faire ceci à elle seule, combien plus dix ou vingt pourront le faire ensemble! C'est là la manière la plus expéditive, je suis même porté à croire que c'est la seule manière de convaincre les tribus qui se tiennent à l'écart que cette façon d'agir ne leur profitera pas. \n\nLe temps est venu de cueillir la récolte des efforts faits pour unir les nations contre le danger de l'opium. Voyez le progrès déjà effectué. Douze nations étaient représentées à la conférence de 1911-12. Vingt-quatre se trouvaient à la conférence de 1913. En 1912 le nombre des Etats non-signataires, pas sympathiques à la Convention ou douteux, était de douze. Aujourd'hui il n'y en a que deux qui s'abstiennent, la Serbie et la Turquie. Ne ferait-on pas sagement de laisser ces deux pays commercer jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient prêts à venir se joindre aux 43? \n\nD'ailleurs, la situation remarquable dans laquelle se trouvent les affaires en Chine, le pays qui a évidemment souffert le plus de l'opium, donne des raisons très fortes pour une action prompte. Un désir bien sincère et bien fort se fait sentir en Chine afin de se délivrer de ce vice national. Les Chinois l'ont prouvé par un noble effort. Nous faut-il laisser se refroidir peut-être mourir l'enthousiasme de la Chine? Ou bien nous faut-il saisir l'occasion pour eux et pour nous, et créer une coïncidence entre la campagne mondiale contre l'opium et le commencement d'une vie nouvelle et plus élevée pour la Chine. \n\nCroiriez-vous que la question est d'ordre purement académique, éthique ou sentimental? Je vous dis que non. Le fléau de l'opium en Chine signifie une \n\n278",

        "content_text": "24\n\nAu premier abord cela semble un grand danger, duquel pourrait résulter un échec du mouvement universel contre l'opium et les autres poisons énumérés, mais en réalité ce n'est qu'une difficulté surmontable devant laquelle il ne faut pas s'incliner, mais que nous devons tâcher de vaincre.\n\nLa Régie de l'Opium aux Indes néerlandaises, dont j'ai eu l'honneur d'être le chef pendant une longue série d'années, a éprouvé et surmonté des difficultés semblables.\n\nNotre expérience nous a appris que, même avec les plus sévères règlements, on ne peut pas empêcher tout à fait la contrebande. Les gains importants qui en découlent, les longues lignes de côte d'un archipel, et le petit volume de la matière sont autant de raisons pour un succès certain des contrebandiers dans leurs efforts pour introduire des quantités de la matière prohibée. Les vraies difficultés pour eux commencent lors de la distribution de l'opium dans le pays et augmentent lors de la vente au détail.\n\nD'abord, le nombre de ceux qui viennent en contact avec la marchandise s'augmente de jour en jour, et il ne se passe jamais beaucoup de temps sans que quelqu'un parmi ces centaines de personnes trahisse le commerçant caché et désigne secrètement aux autorités locales la source de la contrebande. Le résultat final pour les contrebandiers est ordinairement : perte de capital, amendes et emprisonnement.\n\nMais aux Indes néerlandaises nous avons encore un autre moyen pour combattre le commerce illicite de l'opium, je veux dire la connaissance exacte des quantités qui se vendent journellement dans chaque place, s'il n'y a pas de contrebande sur le marché. Aussitôt que la contrebande a lieu, le débit légal diminue visiblement, et si on réussit à en trouver les preuves on recherche les gens qui achètent dans les maisons de débit de la Régie moins que leur quantité ordinaire, on les fouille et on fait une perquisition dans leurs habitations, on les poursuit devant le tribunal ou bien on les porte à désigner les détaillants, ce qui ordinairement amène la saisie de quantités considérables.\n\nToutes les Puissances pourront pratiquer sur leurs territoires de pareils moyens aussitôt que, en vertu de la Convention Internationale, ils posséderont des lois médicales et pharmaceutiques sévères et effectives, en vertu desquelles les autorités disposeront non seulement de l'assistance d'une police exercée, mais aussi de données statistiques sur la vente ordinaire par prescription médicale.\n\nAvec de la bonne volonté on peut aller loin et, en tout cas, le danger d'empoisonnement des nations au moyen de drogues narcotiques doit diminuer considérablement sous l'influence du commun accord des Puissances signataires, qui s'assisteront mutuellement.\n\nSi nous votons pour la résolution américaine et si nous faisons entrer en vigueur la Convention le premier décembre 1914, à cette époque-là tout le monde pourra avoir préparé ses lois médicales et pharmaceutiques et avoir institué son service spécial pour les exécuter.\n\nSi, au contraire, nous rejetons la proposition et si par conséquent nous laissons les affaires comme elles sont, le mouvement international contre l'opium etc. aura échoué et nous aurons à porter la lourde responsabilité de cet échec.\n\nC'est pour cela, Messieurs les Délégués des autres Puissances, que la Délégation néerlandaise croit de son devoir d'appuyer chaleureusement la proposition de Son Excellence le Premier Délégué des Etats Unis d'Amérique et de faire les déclarations que vient de donner mon honorable Collègue M. le Dr. VAN DEVENTER.\n\nSon Exc. M. Yen Hul-Ch'ing, Délégué de Chine, prononce un discours en anglais qui est traduit par M. Houang Shou Kan.\n\nMonsieur le Président, Messieurs,\n\nLa question que cette conférence se trouve appelée à décider est la suivante : la Convention de l'Opium sera-t-elle ou non mise en vigueur ? Il ne peut, ce me semble, y avoir qu'une seule réponse, c'est que la chose est possible.\n\n25\n\nIl faut regretter qu'une ou deux Puissances aient décidé de s'abstenir de la Convention et quelques-uns parmi nous, qui ont des intérêts similaires, craignent que ces Puissances ne veuillent se créer un monopole du commerce de l'opium, de la morphine et de la cocaine. Laissez moi avant tout déclarer que dès son origine jusqu'à la fin, la lutte contre l'opium est une lutte engagée contre des intérêts personnels. La Convention de l'opium vise un but humanitaire et impose une certaine mesure d'esprit de sacrifice. Nous ne l'ignorions pas quand nous l'avons signée il y a deux ans, nous le savions quand nous sommes venus ici l'an passé pour envisager la possibilité de sa ratification, et nous en avons tous conscience maintenant que nous sommes assemblés de nouveau pour examiner la question de sa mise en vigueur. Sa Majesté la Reine fait allusion au but humanitaire de cette Convention dans sa gracieuse dépêche, et le monde entier a applaudi au sentiment d'altruisme des Puissances signataires. En conséquence, il est trop tard maintenant pour soulever de nouveau des questions d'intérêt et de monopole. Quand on accomplit un acte d'humanité il faut laisser de côté toute considération de profit ou de dommage. D'ailleurs, je ne pense pas que si la majorité des Puissances décide de mettre la Convention en vigueur, la petite minorité des autres puisse constituer un monopole. Il est un fait notoire que les marchands n'aiment pas à engager leurs capitaux dans des affaires hasardeuses et le commerce de l'opium, de la morphine et de la cocaine deviendra des plus hasardeux une fois proscrit par le monde civilisé. Nous avons pu constater par notre propre expérience dans la suppression de l'opium que les marchands ont retiré très rapidement leurs capitaux dès qu'ils ont appris les mesures prises contre l'opium ; ils ne tentent même pas de continuer leur commerce là où les lois sont moins strictes. Le capital est, comme on sait, un facteur très susceptible et réservé, et il est ennemi du hasard. C'est pourquoi je déclare en terminant que la crainte que les Puissances non-signataires constituent un monopole, en opposition avec les sentiments et les décisions du monde civilisé est, premièrement, indigne de retenir notre attention, et, secondement, pratiquement impossible et improbable.\n\nSon Exc. M. Huneeus, Délégué du Chili, voudrait suggérer un amendement à la résolution proposée par la Délégation américaine. Son Gouvernement est d'accord sur l'idée de cette résolution, mais l'orateur croit que la rédaction ne répond pas aux possibilités matérielles en tant qu'elle dit que les Puissances s'engagent à faire entrer en vigueur la Convention dès le 1er décembre 1914. Dans un pays parlementaire, la mise en vigueur n'est, en règle générale, possible qu'après l'approbation obtenue par le Parlement et on ne peut prendre un engagement sur la date à laquelle on obtiendra cette approbation. Si les Gouvernements ne réussissaient pas à obtenir cette approbation avant le 1er décembre prochain, cela les mettrait en défaut et nécessiterait une nouvelle conférence. L'orateur voudrait conserver l'idée, mais pas sous une forme si tranchante. Le délai ne dépend pas de nous autres dans un pays parlementaire. Ne vaudrait-il pas mieux dire que les Etats signataires s'obligent de mettre en vigueur la Convention aussitôt qu'ils l'auront ratifiée.\n\nL'orateur croit, en outre, qu'il est prématuré d'étudier la question des mesures à prendre pour paralyser l'abstention des deux Puissances qui refusent leur concours. Le temps nous renseignera plus tard à cet égard. Cela sera de nouveau une lutte contre l'opium et le commerce de l'opium que nous ne pouvons pas prévoir et préciser en ce moment. Il s'agit à présent seulement d'adopter le principe que nous voulons ratifier et mettre en vigueur la Convention malgré l'abstention de ces quelques Etats.\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, tout en se ralliant à l'idée fondamentale de Son Exc. HUNEEUS, est d'avis qu'il faut indiquer dans la résolution une date fixe ; quelle date, cela lui est tout à fait indifférent. Pour des raisons de sentiment il voudrait une mise en vigueur encore dans la présente année. Il croit que tous sont d'accord qu'on ne veut pas une quatrième conférence. On est également\n\n280",

La solution est donnée par les articles 23 et 24 de la Convention.\n\nLe Président fait remarquer à cet égard que la situation est devenue autre après la décision de la deuxième conférence: notre tâche est d'examiner la possibilité de faire entrer en vigueur la Convention même si quelques Etats refusent leur concours.\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, dit qu'il y a, à son avis, deux manières de fixer la date en question: on pourrait indiquer un certain nombre de Puissances dont la ratification suffirait pour la mise en vigueur ou bien on pourrait fixer d'avance une date fixe.\n\nLe Président croit qu'il ne faudra pas tenir compte de la possibilité de faire de nouvelles démarches vis-à-vis de la Turquie qui a d'abord refusé de collaborer à la première conférence et qui a depuis toujours refusé son concours catégoriquement, ni vis-à-vis de la Serbie qui s'est abstenue. Il y a 11 Puissances qui ont ratifié ou dont la ratification n'est qu'une question de quelques jours.\n\nSon Exc. M. Aimaro Sato, Délégué du Japon, déclare que son Gouvernement est aussi prêt à ratifier et à mettre en vigueur la Convention.\n\n(Applaudissements).\n\nLe Président constate que presque dans toute l'Asie la mise en vigueur de la Convention serait assurée si les Gouvernements qui se sont déclarés prêts à ratifier voulaient la mettre en vigueur.\n\nSir William Collins, Délégué de la Grande-Bretagne: Nous avons écouté avec beaucoup d'intérêt les différentes communications qui ont été faites par plusieurs Gouvernements et naturellement quelques-unes des déclarations ont été un peu inattendues. Nous ne savions pas exactement quelles communications seraient émises et ce fait rend difficile d'aboutir à un vote définitif au sujet de la résolution. Il paraît résulter des discussions que plusieurs Puissances signataires se trouvent placées devant des difficultés d'ordre constitutionnel en ce qui concerne la ratification, comme les représentants de la Suisse et de quelques Etats de l'Amérique du Sud viennent de l'exposer. Or voilà une question de pure forme à laquelle le temps seul pourra porter remède. J'ignore s'il y a d'autres difficultés qui puissent empêcher quelque Puissance signataire de procéder à la ratification. A mon avis, ni la seconde conférence, ni cette conférence n'ont, jusqu'à présent, prononcé une opinion définitive sur la question de savoir si les Puissances signataires accepteraient de ratifier et de mettre en vigueur la Convention malgré le fait que quelques Puissances invitées ne l'ont pas signée.\n\nSerait-il possible de prendre cette décision dès cet après-midi et les Puissances signataires ne pourraient-elles pas déclarer qu'elles seraient prêtes à ratifier et à mettre en vigueur la Convention même si les Puissances invitées ne l'ont pas toutes signée? La Grande-Bretagne croyait que la seconde conférence avait expressément décidé de poser cette question. Nous étions d'avis que toutes les Puissances signataires étaient considérées comme prêtes à mettre en vigueur la Convention nonobstant le fait que deux Puissances invitées ne l'avaient pas signée. En ce qui concerne une date fixe, la Grande-Bretagne est entièrement disposée à discuter cette question; mais si on nous demande de prendre une décision à ce sujet, nous serons obligés de demander de nouvelles instructions.\n\n27\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, fait l'observation suivante:\n\nJe me mets à la disposition de Sir WILLIAM COLLINS et à celle des autres Délégués pour scinder ma résolution. La première partie jusqu'au mot \"déjà\" pourrait alors être mise aux voix dès à présent, tandis qu'on voterait ultérieurement sur la seconde partie qui fixe la date.\n\nSon Exc. M. Aimaro Sato, Délégué du Japon, est d'avis que cette division serait inutile puisque la Convention elle-même contient une disposition relative à la ratification. Nous nous sommes engagés à ratifier aussitôt que possible. Aujourd'hui il nous reste seulement à décider si la Convention peut être mise en vigueur malgré l'abstention de quelques Puissances.\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, dit qu'on pourrait alors diviser autrement la résolution: la première partie pourrait contenir la résolution jusqu'à la date susmentionnée.\n\nLe Président propose de prier le Comité de Réduction de rédiger une formule pour la mise en vigueur de la Convention, en tenant compte des différentes vues et remarques qui ont été exprimées pendant les délibérations de cette séance. Il croit que la conférence pourrait se réunir jeudi à 11 heures à moins que la Commission n'ait pas encore fini sa tâche mercredi.\n\nAprès quelque discussion Son Exc. M. Huneeus, Délégué du Chili, propose que la conférence se prononce sur le principe: oui ou non la Convention peut-elle être mise en vigueur sans que toutes les Puissances aient signé.\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, supprime les derniers mots de la résolution de la Délégation américaine. Il croit que la résolution modifiée ainsi établit un principe assez précis. Elle déclare, en principe, qu'une mise en vigueur de la Convention est possible vu les circonstances dans lesquelles la conférence se trouve à présent. La fixation de la date pourra suivre après.\n\nSon Exc. M. Aimaro Sato, Délégué du Japon, fait observer que le Comité de Rédaction ne peut pas prendre une décision. Sa tâche est de formuler ce que la conférence a décidé en principe.\n\nSon Exc. M. de Klercker, Délégué de Suède, demande si, dans l'esprit de la Délégation des Etats-Unis, il s'agit d'un vœu ou d'un engagement; le mot \"résolution\" dans le titre indiquerait la première alternative mais il y a dans le texte même le mot \"s'engagent\", ce qui n'est plus un vœu.\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke: On trouve les mots \"résolution\" et \"vœu\" sans différence dans le Protocole de Clôture de la deuxième conférence.\n\nLa résolution exprime la conviction que la Convention pourra être mise en vigueur dans un certain délai, mais on pourrait peut-être modifier le texte dans ce sens: \"La conférence émet le vœu que les Puissances signataires s'engagent etc.\"\n\nSon Exc. M. Swetchine, Délégué de Russie, croit qu'il ne sert à rien d'adopter une résolution qui nous engage à nous engager dans une forme définitive que nous ne connaissons pas encore.\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke se ralliant à une suggestion de Sir William Collins modifie sa résolution dans ce sens:\n\n\"Il est soumis au Comité de Rédaction de rédiger une proposition dans le sens que les Puissances signataires s'engagent etc.\"\n\nSon Exc. M. Huneeus, Délégué du Chili, préférerait une motion d'ordre conçue comme suit:\n\n\"La conférence prie le Comité de Rédaction de lui présenter une formule qui permettra de mettre en vigueur la Convention entre les Puissances signataires qui auront déjà ratifié.\"\n\n281",

Charles Denby, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique: Qu'il me soit permis de dire que le Comité a inséré la date dans le but de préciser le moment de la mise en vigueur. On a clairement expliqué dans le rapport que la date exacte n'importe pas. Mais il a paru à notre Comité et j'étais de cette opinion qu'il était préférable de déterminer une date. Si on ne peut pas maintenir le 31 décembre 1914 parce que certaines Puissances ne peuvent pas ratifier dans ce délai, la modification nécessaire se fera d'elle-même, mais il reste à la conférence de fixer une date définitive indiquant à quelle époque la plupart des Gouvernements devraient être prêts. Il serait alors possible de signifier aux Puissances réfractaires: voici le délai dans lequel vous pourrez adhérer. Voilà la question.\n\nM. van Deventer, Délégué des Pays-Bas, déclare que le Comité de Rédaction a décidé de supprimer la dernière partie de la gene formule.\n\nLa 2ème formule comme elle a été modifiée par le Délégué de Suisse et le Comité de Rédaction est ainsi conçue:\n\nLa conférence est d'avis que la mise en vigueur de la Convention entre toutes les Puissances signataires aura lieu lorsque les Puissances qui l'ont déjà signée et celles qui ont exprimé leur intention d'y adhérer l'auront ratifiée. La date de l'entrée en vigueur de la Convention sera celle fixée par le paragraphe 1 de l'article 24.\n\nLa formule est mise aux voix.\n\nLe résultat du vote est que la formule est adoptée avec 16 voix pour, dont une avec réserve (France), deux contre (Allemagne et Portugal), et onze abstentions (Etats-Unis d'Amérique, Brésil, Chili, Chine, Danemark, Equateur, Haïti, Luxembourg, Perse, Suisse et Uruguay).\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, propose la résolution suivante:\n\nLa conférence invite Son Exc. M. le Ministre des Affaires Etrangères des Pays-Bas à entreprendre au nom de la conférence une démarche urgente et respectueuse auprès des Puissances signataires qui n'ont pas ratifié la Convention ni exprimé leur intention de le faire, démarche tendant à les amener à se déclarer prêtes dans un très bref délai à déposer leurs ratifications afin que la Convention puisse entrer en vigueur au plus tôt possible.\n\nLe Président propose d'ajourner la séance à demain vendredi à 10 heures du matin.\n\nLa séance est levée à 5.20.\n\nLe Secrétaire-Général,\n\nJ.

Hunecus, Délégué du Chili, fait la déclaration suivante: J'ai reçu une communication de mon Gouvernement d'après laquelle on attend incessamment l'approbation de la Convention par les Chambres et que la ratification suivra de près.\n\nM. Denby, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, lit la résolution proposée par la Délégation américaine, qui est conçue en ces termes:\n\nLa conférence invite Son Exc.

Bartholomeu Ferreira, Délégué de Portugal, répond que par son vote il voulait nier l'efficacité d'une mise en vigueur dans les circonstances actuelles; mais s'il s'agit de la possibilité d'une mise en vigueur théorique il ne demande pas mieux que de changer son vote et de dire oui.\n\nSir William Collins, Délégué de la Grande-Bretagne: La Délégation de la Grande-Bretagne désire appuyer tout ce que M. le Premier Délégué des Pays-Bas vient de dire. En même temps je tiens à exprimer notre reconnaissance pour l'impartialité, l'habilité et l'énergie avec lesquels M. VAN DEVENTER a rempli ses devoirs de Président du Comité de Rédaction. Il est évident que la conférence est unanime à désirer que toutes les Puissances signataires ratifient la Convention aussitôt qu'elles le jugeront possible.\n\nIl est, aussi, évident qu'il existe un désir très général et presque unanime que les Puissances signataires se décident à faire le deuxième pas en avant, celui de ratification, sans attendre les signatures des 2 ou 3 Puissances qui n'ont pas encore jugé à propos de signer la Convention.\n\nLa conférence parait reconnaitre à l'unanimité que toute Puissance signataire qui, ayant ratifié la Convention, désire maintenant la mettre en vigueur, a pleine liberté de le faire, et que les Puissances qui ratifieront plus tard doivent aussi jouir de la même faculté de mettre la Convention en vigueur quand bon leur semblera.\n\nAvec une telle manifestation de bonne volonté et d'unanimité de la part des Délégués ici rassemblés, il nous est permis de déclarer que la troisième conférence a suffi d'une manière très efficace pour passer en revue la situation dans laquelle se trouvent pas moins de 43 Puissances dans la poursuite humanitaire dans laquelle elles se sont engagées et a servi en même temps pour accélérer la marche vers le but désiré.\n\nM. Stenio Vincent, Délégué d'Haïti, croit que les avis sous III et IV peuvent être réunis: le dernier ne renfermant que la fixation de la date.\n\nSon Excellence M. Marcellin Pellet, Délégué de France, combat cette proposition. Il y a des Délégués qui ne peuvent pas fixer une date et qui voudront voter pour la première proposition, mais rejeter la seconde.\n\nOn procède au vote. L'avis III est adopté à l'unanimité.\n\nLa discussion est ouverte au sujet de l'avis IV.\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, propose comme date le 1er janvier 1915.\n\nSon Exc. M. Mitilineu, Délégué de Roumanie, préférérait la date du 31 décembre 1914, parce que le nouvel an est un jour de fête.\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke n'a pas d'objection contre cette date qui est insérée dans l'avis IV.\n\nL'avis est mis aux voix et adopté avec 16 voix pour et 10 abstentions (Allemagne, Danemark, Espagne, France, Perse, Portugal, Roumanie, Russie, Suède, Suisse).\n\nSon Exc. M. Swétchine, Délégué de Russie, motive son vote en déclarant que la date n'a d'importance que pour les Etats qui désirent faire entrer en vigueur la Convention.\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique: La Délégation des Etats-Unis d'Amérique donne volontiers son vote à l'avis proposé par le Comité de Rédaction. Cependant, il est nécessaire d'attirer l'attention sur le fait que ce vote n'engage nullement notre Gouvernement en ce qui concerne des mesures ultérieures. Les difficultés qui ont été soulevées durant les discussions par les Délégués de certaines Puissances démontrent qu'il est désirable de procéder prudemment.\n\nLa situation actuelle est la cause que nous ne pouvons rien promettre en ce qui regarde la signature d'un protocole avant d'avoir demandé des instructions à Washington. Je tiens à dire que la bonne volonté des Etats-Unis envers la campagne contre l'opiomanie n'est pas douteuse. Pour une grande partie nous avons déjà pris les mesures législatives nécessaires pour rendre cette campagne efficace et nous continuerons de marcher côte à côte avec toutes les Puissances qui travaillent pour la réalisation de ce but.\n\nPage 52\n\nSon Exc. M. Swétchine, Délégué de Russie, fait observer que la formule sous n°. V ne peut être considérée comme un avis. C'est une décision de la conférence. Son Exc. M. Carlin, Délégué de Suisse, est de l'avis de M. le Délégué de Russie. La formule V ne peut pas figurer comme avis de la conférence; c'est une décision qu'elle prend. Il y aurait done lieu de donner à la proposition VI du Comité de Rédaction la place de la proposition V et de traiter cette dernière comme résolution, à la suite et sur la base des cinq avis de la conférence.\n\nSon Exc. M. Aimaro Sato, Délégué du Japon: Il me semble que la formule V, dans sa présente forme d'avis répond tres bien au desir de la Conférence. Il est vrai que ce n'est qu'un avis maintenant; mais le protocole spécial préparé par le Comité de rédaction selon cet avis peut-être voté par la Conférence comme sa décision.\n\nM. van Deventer, Délégué des Pays-Bas, dit que le Comité de Rédaction n'a pas d'objection à faire changer de place les avis V et VI.\n\nL'Avis V (ci-devant VI) est adopté à l'unanimité.\n\nLe Président dit qu'il faut décider si le Protocole spécial devra être rédigé par le Comité de Rédaction ou au Ministère des Affaires Etrangères.\n\nM. van Deventer dit que le Comité de Rédaction est éventuellement disposé à rédiger le Protocole, mais il fait observer que le Protocole de Signature, visé dans l'article 22 de la Convention a été rédigé au Ministère des Affaires Etrangères. Son Exc. M. de Klercker, Délégué de Suède, propose de prier le Ministère des Affaires Etrangères de dresser le Protocole.\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, demande si ce Protocole sera soumis à la Conférence.\n\nLe Président répond négativement. Après quelque discussion, la résolution (ci-devant avis V) est modifiée comme suit:\n\n\"A la suite de ces avis, la conférence décide qu'un Protocole Spécial par lequel les Puissances signataires disposées à se servir de la faculté visée sous III pourront déclarer leur intention de faire entrer en vigueur la Convention sera ouvert au Ministère des Affaires Etrangères à La Haye.\n\nLa résolution est mise aux voix et adoptée à l'unanimité.\n\nA la proposition du Président il est décidé que la séance de clôture aura lieu jeudi à 10 heures du matin, et qu'alors le Protocole de Clôture, qui sera rédigé pendant ce temps par le Comité de Rédaction, sera discuté et ensuite signé.\n\nM. van Deventer demande l'autorisation de la conférence de faire des modifications de rédaction dans le texte des avis, adoptés par la conférence.\n\nCette autorisation est accordée et la séance est levée à 4 heures.\n\nLe Secrétaire-Général,\n\nJ.

Cremer.\n\nLe Président ouvre la séance.\n\nLe Secrétaire Général donne lecture d'une lettre du Délégué d'Haïti et de deux dépêches des Délégués du Vénézuéla et de l'Uruguay, contenant que ces Délégués sont empêchés d'être présents à cette séance.\n\nLe procès-verbal de la 5ème séance est adopté.\n\nLe Président ouvre la discussion sur le Protocole de Cloture, rédigé par le Comité de Rédaction.\n\nM. van Deventer, Délégué des Pays-Bas:\n\nDans notre dernière séance plénière le Comité de Rédaction a été autorisé à faire dans les textes adoptés par la conférence les modifications de rédaction qui pourraient être désirables.\n\nIl a paru nécessaire au Comité de se servir de cette faculté quant au texte de la décision prise par la conférence et formulé au Protocole de clôture sous la lettre B.\n\nComme il a été mentionné au procès-verbal de notre dernière séance, page 9, le texte de cette décision fut arrêtée comme suit;\n\nA la suite de ces avis, la conférence décide qu'un Protocole Spécial par lequel les Puissances signataires disposées à se servir de la faculté visée sous III pourront déclarer leur intention de faire entrer en vigueur la Convention, sera ouvert au Ministère des Affaires Etrangères à la Haye.\n\nNotre Comité a cru agir dans l'esprit de la conférence en remplaçant la décision que ce Protocole sera ouvert au Ministère des Affaires Etrangères à La Haye par une décision plus générale sur ce Protocole et son ouverture à la Haye, suivi de la constatation du fait hautement apprécié par la conférence que Son Exc. M. le Ministre des Affaires Etrangères a consenti à faire dresser ce Protocole qui restera ouvert pour les signatures.\n\nDu reste, ce ne sont que de simples modifications de forme que le Comité a estimé désirable de faire.\n\nAinsi dans la rédaction définitive de l'avis II sous la lettre A les deux phrases qui forment la formule se suivent tandis que dans le texte inséré au proces-verbal la formule était divisée en deux alinéas. La même modification a été appliquée au texte de l'avis III.\n\nLe Protocole de Clôture est adopté à l'unanimité.\n\nSon Exc. M. Carlin, Délégué de Suisse.\n\nMonsieur le Président et Messieurs,\n\nNos travaux touchant à leur fin, j'ai, en vertu de mon ancienneté, l'honneur d'être l'interprête de nos sentiments unanimes en déposant aux pieds de sa Majesté la Reine l'hommage de notre respectueuse gratitude pour l'hospitalité que nous avons trouvée, une fois de plus, à La Haye. Notre reconnaissance va aussi au Gouvernement néerlandais et à notre Président honoraire, Son Excellence le Ministre des Affaires Etrangères, qui non seulement a suivi nos discussions avec un intérêt dont nous lui savons grand gré, mais qui a bien voulu consentir à se charger de donner exécution aux résolutions que nous avons votées.\n\n(Applaudissements).\n\nC'est au nom de nous tous que j'adresse également des très vifs remerciements à notre distingué Président M. CREMER, qui a dirigé nos débats avec tant de tact et dont l'esprit de conciliation a puissamment contribué à la réussite de nos délibérations.\n\n(Applaudissements.)\n\nDans cet ordre d'idées, il serait ingrat de ne pas faire mention de la tâche difficile et délicate dont s'est acquitté notre Comité de Rédaction, sous la présidence expérimentée de notre honorable Collègue M. le Dr. C. TH. VAN DEVENTER.\n\n(Assentiment général.)\n\nEnfin, je dois dire à M.M. les Secrétaires que nous apprécions hautement le dévouement dont ils ont constamment fait preuve dans l'accomplissement de leurs fonctions et je les remercie au nom de tous les Délégués. (Applaudissements).\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique: En appuyant la proposition de remerciements faite par l'honoré Délégué de Suisse, je voudrais ajouter quelques mots de la part des Etats-Unis d'Amérique. Comme promoteur de la Commission de l'Opium à Shanghai, notre pays éprouve une grande satisfaction du progrès qui a été fait dans la guerre paisible contre l'abus de l'opium. Chaque période de la campagne a été marquée par de nouvelles victoires et par de nouvelles conquêtes. Cette année même beaucoup de nations ont signé la Convention ou ont fait savoir qu'elles avaient l'intention de le faire. Encouragée par les bonnes nouvelles des ratifications qui ont été présentées pendant le cours des séances, cette troisième conférence a approuvé à une grande majorité le principe que la Convention peut être mise en vigueur par les Puissances qui veulent y consentir sans attendre un accord unanime.\n\nTout le long de ces progrès l'attitude résolue et sympathique du Gouvernement de Sa Majesté la Reine des Pays-Bas a été d'un immense avantage. Son Exc. le Ministre des Affaires Etrangères, notre Président honoraire, a rendu de grands services à la cause, non seulement dans nos séances, mais aussi par son action constante dans des voies diplomatiques. Le Président, M. CREMER, a présidé dans l'esprit de l'espoir. Le Président du Comité de Rédaction, M. VAN DEVENTER, a mérité la haute reconnaissance de la conférence par ses travaux patients à la recherche de \"formules acceptables\".\n\n(Applaudissements.)\n\nIl est vrai que de nombreuses objections sérieuses à la mise en vigueur de la Convention ont été soulevées par certains Délégués. Elles donnent à réfléchir. Le Gouvernement des Etats-Unis a déjà ratifié la Convention et s'est avancé plus que toute autre nation dans la législation contre l'opium. Mais naturellement il ne désire aucunement donner à sa législation une forme qui favoriserait la création d'un monopole de l'opium par une ou plusieurs Puissances.\n\nMais ce point-là ne limite d'aucune façon notre dévouement à la cause. Nous en avons déjà donné une preuve claire et pratique. Nous continuerons nos rapports de coopération cordiale avec les Puissances de l'Europe, de l'Asie et de l'Amérique, qui se sont déjà données en acte et en pratique à la campagne contre le mal de l'opium. Nous espérons que toutes les nations civilisées du monde prendront bientôt part à ce mouvement complètement et de tout coeur, et qu'elles formeront\n\nPage 300\n\nPage 301",

Je vous disais avoir confiance en la réussite de cette conférence. Je puis constater aujourd'hui que malgré le manque d'unanimité sur quelques points, vos travaux sont loin d'être infructueux, que sans avoir atteint pour le moment un résultat pratique, chose qui du reste ne pouvait être attendue, vous avez fait un grand pas en avant. Vous avez tracé la voie qui doit nous mener au but.\n\nVotre tâche, toute simple qu'elle paraissait, n'était guère facile. Il ne s'agissait plus d'établir certains principes, d'arrêter certaines règles. Il fallait prévenir que l'oeuvre entière de la Convention de l'opium ne périclite, en se mettant d'accord sur quelques formules qui donneraient aux Puissances, décidées à agir dans un bref délai, la faculté d'y procéder et à celles qui hésitent l'occasion de suivre plus tard l'exemple donné par les premières.\n\nVous vous étiez réunis pour examiner la possibilité de la mise en vigueur de la Convention malgré l'abstention de quelques Puissances.\n\nVos délibérations vous ont amenés à émettre un avis dans l'affirmative. La majorité d'entre vous estime donc que l'entrée en vigueur n'est plus, comme il était établi d'abord, dépendante de l'adhésion de toutes les Puissances du globe. Au contraire, il y a lieu de croire que, grâce à la faculté visée par le troisième de vos avis, le voeu si ardent de la Délégation de Chine sera réalisé et qu'il se formera à partir du 31 décembre prochain un groupe de Puissances décidées à mettre en vigueur la Convention entre elles. Le groupe ira en s'élargissant. L'intérêt humanitaire aura triomphé de l'intérêt économique.\n\nJe serai heureux de pouvoir contribuer à la réalisation de ce projet en faisant dresser au Ministère des Affaires Etrangères, comme vous me l'avez demandé, un protocole qui restera ouvert pour la signature des Puissances désireuses de former ce groupe.\n\nLa portée morale de votre décision à cet égard est plus grande qu'elle ne semble au premier abord. Je crois que l'avenir le prouvera.\n\nC'est avec un vif plaisir aussi que je répondrai à l'appel qui faisait l'objet de votre résolution tendant à ce que j'entreprenne une démarche de persuasion auprès des Puissances signataires qui n'ont pas ratifié la Convention ni exprimé l'intention de le faire. Ce sera peut-être une tâche quelque peu ardue. Pour la mener à bien, j'ose compter sur la collaboration de plusieurs d'entre vos Gouvernements.\n\nDans ces conditions, Messieurs, je ne puis que vous féliciter du résultat provisoirement obtenu. Il ne pourra certes être dit que cette conférence est la tombe d'un noble et généreux espoir\", cette phrase si éloquente de l'avertissement que nous donnait l'autre jour M. le Ministre des Etats-Unis d'Amérique. Vous emporterez, je l'espère, un bon souvenir des séances que vous avez tenues dans la pénombre de ce vieux Palais des Comtes de Hollande.\n\nAutorisé par M. le Président, je déclare close la Troisième Conférence de l'Opium.\n\nLe Secrétaire Général,\n\nJ. A. A. H. DE BEAUFORT.\n\nLe Président,\n\nJ. T. CREMER.\n\nPROTOCOLE DE CLÔTURE\n\nde la Troisième Conférence Internationale\n\nde l'Opium-\n\n-1914.\n\nLa Troisième Conférence Internationale de l'Opium, convoquée par le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas en vertu du voeu n°.

The Bill of Lading described the origin of the goods as \"Germany, but with certificate of English Consulate allowing transhipment at London\". The certificate referred to, which is enclosed, is a declaration by the consignors made before a British Consular Officer that the goods had been ordered in Germany before the war broke out, and that the goods were not sent forward on account of the German suppliers, but were actually purchased and paid for before shipment. A certificate by the British Pro-Consul at Rotterdam to this effect was subsequently produced and is also enclosed.\n\nMy Board would be glad to be favoured with the observations of the Secretary of State as to whether, if delivery of the goods were taken in Hong Kong, there would not be trading with the enemy by the consignees, and, having regard to the terms of par.5(7) of the Trading with the Enemy Proclamation of the 9th September last, whether it is not illegal for a British Shipowner or Master to \"carry\" goods in the circumstances of this case.\n\nI am,\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nHome Office,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\n(Sgd) G.

        "content_text": "# THE \n\nThe barriers raised against them will be simply accumulating the rising waters behind frail dykes, and as these tidal waves are in their full onward march, no human dyke will avail against them; and all those who are in any way contributing to the raising of these artificial barriers are only preparing for a deafening rush of the gathered waters and cause a great human deluge.\n\nIt is from the above standpoint that we are extremely sad about the short-sighted and merely temporizing attitude of the Dominion Government. Besides this, to us it is the direct breach of a pledge, when our delegation went on the 15th December, 1911, to see the Government for the last time, we were given a direct official assurance that the ministers in council had settled to admit the wives of the Sikhs and Hindustanese already domiciled in Canada. We cannot understand how the present changed attitude has been brought about, as we had complete confidence in the good faith of the gentlemen who spoke to us for the last time.\n\nEven now we are of opinion that better councils would prevail, and too much not based upon the report of the Commissioner sent here, as that gentleman made it his point not to invite information from those Englishmen or Canadians who were friendly towards the British Indians. The official set seemed to have supplied him with all the information.\n\nBesides this, the gentleman was in a hurry, and did not take the trouble of comparing the physical, moral, economic, and hygienic condition of our people with the Italians, Greeks, and Doukhobors who form their chief rivals.\n\nAs a laboring class, the imposing of middle-class standards upon Hindus is a great act of injustice, and calling them undesirables from the standpoint of social and political assimilation is another short-sighted error.\n\nPolitically, the Sikhs and the Hindustanese are already assimilated, as fair treatment would make them shed every drop of their blood for the land of their adoption.\n\nSocially and religiously, too, the Sikh is willing to maintain the highest ideals of civilized life with his liberty of conscience, the birthright of every human being in the twentieth century. The economic arguments against him are also fallacious, as a community which strives for economy without degenerating into parsimony is the very example which the white laboring classes of this country require, who eat and drink all they earn and very seldom save anything for the rainy day.\n\n## ARYAN \n\nThe purity of race and following the Buddhistic religion, bogus arguments, too, are as shallow and misleading as the others.\n\nThe mixture of races is going on under the present condition in a way which is debasing and criminal; and the admission of Hindustani wives and children would have very largely prevented it. The ignorant talk about the spread of Buddhistic ideals through the Sikh church is a baseless delusion, as the Sikh religion is purely monotheistic and bases all its strength on the personal link between God and man. But why strive and answer these cries against the Hindu, which have for the time being deprived him of the elementary right of having his wife and children with him? He is (because of his color), in spite of his Aryan descent, thought to be an inferior person, and so he is kicked and spat upon. Let him pin his faith in the perennial justice of the divine law, and know once for all that the right shall ultimately prevail. The contest is severe, and the struggle between the forces of selfishness and the powers of light is very acute, but if he every moment of his life strives to be a better man and a more unassuming social servant, he will pave the way for the world-wide manifestation of the divine law—that no material or racial arrogance can be suffered to pass with impunity—and that all men or nations who give up their struggle after absolute righteousness are sooner or later doomed to a severe reckoning.\n\n## PRACTISING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.\n\n\"The smoke-colored Hindu, exotic, unmixable, picturesque, a languid worker and a refuge for fleas, we will always have with us, but we don't want any more of him. We don't want any Hindu women. We don't want any Hindu children. It's nonsense to talk about Hindu assimilation. The Sikh may be of Aryan stock; I always thought he was of Jewish extraction. He may be near-white, though he doesn't look it. But we know him, and don't want any more of him,... British Columbia cannot allow any more of the dark meat of the world to come to this province. To deport these British subjects from India would be the wisest thing. ... These Sikhs are far too obtrusive. They are of no use to the country. British Columbia would be a hundred times better off without them. Certainly, no more of them must be allowed to come.\" -Vancouver Sunset.\n\n## THE \n\n## LET HINDUS IN THE DOMINIONS UNITE.\n\nIn British Columbia, in general, and in Vancouver, in particular, we are at the present time facing a serious and knotty problem—the incursion of the Hindu. To thoroughly understand the dread significance of the threatened invasion, it is necessary and imperative that we make an exhaustive study of the subject. The deeper we penetrate, the firmer we are forced to the conclusion that it is a problem fraught with great and obvious difficulties in the way of solution.\n\nNot content with gaining admittance himself under a bounty of $200, conditional upon a continuous sojourn from the land of his birth, the Hindu now wishes to have his wife and family with him in British Columbia, in place of being left at home in far-off India. A very natural and praiseworthy desire, you are at first tempted to remark. Yes, no doubt it is so; but it is not with this side of the question we are concerned. We must look at the matter from a European standpoint—the standpoint of what we would have to face ultimately were such a privilege granted by the Dominion Government. Were no great principles at stake, we might be acquiescent; but when one calmly considers the far-reaching consequences that would inevitably follow such a step, it must be obvious to even the most indifferent of us that it would be in effect almost a criminal act to allow such Asiatics to settle and multiply in this fair Western land of ours. The Hindu lives not as we live; his life is entirely different, his habits filthy and almost invariably unclean, his marriage vows seen from a vastly different viewpoint. It would be ultra vires for one at the present stage to enumerate the numerous pitfalls which such an invasion would open up amid our vaunted civilization.\n\nIn December last, a delegation of the leading Hindus in British Columbia waited upon the Dominion Government at Ottawa with a request that they would be allowed to bring in their wives and children, also that the present restrictions be removed. The result apparently is that the Hindus presently in the Dominion are to be allowed to bring in their wives and families, under strict regulations, but there is to be no lowering of the bars. This, mark you, in spite of the firm stand taken by the Provincial Government of British Columbia against the precedent, despite Premier McBride's plea for a \"white Canada.\"\n\nAt present, the Hindu is engaged mainly in sawmills and lumber camps, doing the rough laboring work. Consequent on his anxiety to work even at near-starvation pay, he is proving a formidable rival of the European in the unskilled labor market. His mode of living is such that a mere pittance—a sum certainly inadequate to keep a white man in decent food and clothing—serves to keep the Hindu in a fairly prosperous condition. His diet consists of rice, vegetables, and various unsavory messes, which he purchases from a merchant of his own nationality. How long he will be content to do only the rough work remains to be seen. Gradually, he will work himself into carpentery and other kindred occupations. The present race may not succeed in improving their position, but the generations of the future will no doubt seek to be educated on a much more modern scale than their progenitors of today. In this respect, another aspect of the case now confronts us. I refer to the education of the young Hindu, which would of necessity have to be undertaken by the Government through the medium of the public school. Being British subjects, free education with all its attached benefits would have to be extended to our Asiatic friends. Reflect for a few moments, then see how you British-born parents would regard the idea of your cherished children being brought into daily, aye, hourly contact with the offspring of a nation so low in the social scale; so swarthy and universally unclean. I need not linger to portray the evils that would of necessity follow such a commingling. The results must stand out in prominence sufficient to appal the most matter-of-fact and easy-going parent.\n\nAs a point of comparison in respect to physical qualities, the average Hindu, although big and powerful-looking, has hardly half the strength or nervous force of a European, perhaps not more than a third. His work must thus suffer in the same proportion, not to mention the admitted fact that...\n\nPage 613 \n## ARYAN \n5",

        "content_text": "Council\n\nNext, Sir, I take the objection that this proposed road is not desirable. First, on the ground that it will destroy one of our greatest assets at the Peak, namely, the absolute quiet which we enjoy at night. If, as I understand to be the case, it is proposed to continue this road ultimately on through the Mount Kellett Gap down to Pokfulam Road we are faced with the possibility of a fine procession of joy riders at the Peak at all hours of the day and night. And, even if you call a halt at Chamberlain Road, you cannot prevent anybody who can afford the hire of a car from going up to the Peak on a fine moonlight night, as I presume that the Government does not intend to put up a turn-pike and to issue passes to Peak residents only.\n\nAnd now I come to my second ground of undesirability which I consider most important, and that is the question of safety of the children living at Magazine Gap and the Peak. The proposed route of the road lies through Magazine Gap itself, and thence along the Craigmin Road to Craigmin West, and subsequently it has to squeeze its way through the small gap between \"Cheltordale\" and \"Balgownie\" and then to run for some distance along the present road past the Peak Church, which road is the approach to the Peak school for all children going to that school from any house to the east of that school. And the question which I wish to put is this: Why should we wantonly and unnecessarily introduce a new danger for children living at Magazine Gap and the Peak by building such a road?\n\nI notice that tenders are now being invited for the construction of this proposed road, but I venture to hope that Your Excellency, before sanctioning the acceptance of any tender, will carefully seek for the correct answer to these two questions: -\n\n1. Is such a road really necessary for the purpose of giving to Peak residents access by motor to other parts of the Colony?\n\n2. Is such a road desirable, having regard to the danger which it will bring to children at Magazine Gap and the Peak, and having regard to the fact that it will destroy the present priceless peace and quiet at the Peak?\n\nMR. LAU CHU PAK.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. Lau CHU PAK said: - Your Excellency, on behalf of my Chinese colleague and myself, I beg to offer a few observations on certain items in the Estimates. In our opinion, and that of most of those whom we represent, the reduction in the number of hawkers' licences, which is intended to save the Police trouble, will more likely have an opposite effect, inasmuch as in addition to looking out for unlicensed hawkers, they will have to devote more time and attention to watching the movements of the unemployed and the vagrants, whose ranks will be swelled by those who fail to obtain licences for hawking as an honest means of earning their livelihood.\n\nThe Chinese population has in seven years grown enormously and will, so long as political disturbances across the border periodically crop up, continue to grow, so that the number of licences for hawking needs to be increased instead of being reduced. From the Chinese point of view, it is more in accordance with righteousness to give a man a few dollars as capital for hawking so as to enable him to gain a decent livelihood than to leave him unemployed and drift into the ranks of vagrants. I think the objections to hawking would be minimized, if the licences be issued in each district and increased or reduced as they may be in proportion to the number of people residing therein.\n\nThe licences may also be classified, so that, in the vicinities of markets, licences for selling only commodities other than market products would be issued. In view of the fact that the Chinese community considers it exceedingly hard on a poor but honest man to be punished for trying to gain a livelihood by honest means, not because he defies the law by refusing to pay for a licence, but because he is denied one when he willingly offers to pay for it, we hope the Government will reconsider its decision from a more sympathetic point of view.\n\nAt any rate, all those who are at present holding licences should be given new licences and an extra number should be given to new applicants in proportion to the increase in the population. As regards the two thousand licences which it is proposed to abolish, we should also like to know how it is to be done and whether steps will be taken to prevent possible abuses in connection with the issue.\n\nA MATTER OF EQUITY.\n\nWater Excess Supply and Meter Rents - Under this heading, it is proposed to charge for excessive use of water in the rider-main districts. It may not be out of place to recall what really led up to the introduction of the rider-main system. The system was asked for as a concession from the Government by the Chinese residents and they paid the cost of its construction, which amounted to more than $1,000,000.\n\nThe conditions under which the Chinese live here, to-day, are the same as they were seventeen years ago when the system was introduced. Their houses are almost all let out by floors, and in many cases a floor is sub-let to several families. The ground floor occupied by shopkeepers and tradesmen uses more water than the tenants of the upper floors. Will a meter be fixed on each floor or a meter on the ground floor only, to serve for the whole house? If so, how will the charges be equitably apportioned amongst the different floors or the different families, as the case may be? And who is to be held liable for payment, when one floor becomes vacant?\n\nIf the landlord is to be held liable for everything, how is he to recoup himself? Is he allowed simply to add what he likes on to the rent and is such addition, if counted as rent, again taxable? These reasons, together with several others were, seventeen years ago, laid before the Government by the Chinese community with the request that the rider-main be substituted for the meter system and the Government granted the request on condition that they contributed to the cost of its construction.\n\nPractically speaking, it was in the nature of a contract between the Government and the Chinese house-owners. Now, after so many years, in spite of the fact that the Chinese had until recently suffered much hardship from short supplies and that they had been made to spend so much money, they are to be charged for what is essential to good health and cleanliness in their narrow and crowded quarters.\n\nHave those who have originated the proposal to charge for excessive use of water in the rider-main districts weighed well every condition, under...\n\nPage 264",

        "content_text": "# CONCESSION QUESTIONS AT HANKOW AND TIEN-TSIN\n\n## Report on the Work of the Chibli River Commission\n\nThe commission has been forced to withdraw survey parties from the field for a period of two months. Further, no useful results in regard to discharges of rivers could be obtained owing to the almost complete failure of the rains.\n\nAs regards actual work accomplished up to date, the commission has been instrumental in getting the following works executed in or around Tien-tsin:-\n\n1. The cathedral cutting of the Hai Ho.\n2. The improvement of the Hsin Hai Ho and construction of flood sluices.\n3. The improvement of the entrance of the Grand Canal to the Hai Ho.\n4. The construction of a flood dyke round Tien-tsin.\n5. The construction of a new outlet channel to the Machang Canal (now on hand).\n\nExcept for item (5), the civil authorities and the local gentry have provided a considerable portion of the funds necessary to carry out these works, all of which benefit Tien-tsin as regards flood protection.\n\nThe commission has also approved a project for the reversion of the Pei Yun Ho, giving it a new flood channel towards the sea, which if constructed and properly maintained should prevent inundations from that river. It hopes further to be in a position to submit proposals for improving the Yung Ting Ho within the next few months. These two projects deal with the problem of the rivers north of Tien-tsin, and thereafter attention will be focussed on the river system on the south of that city.\n\nAs regards financial arrangements, the commission is at present in receipt of a monthly grant of 30,000 dollars to cover the cost of administration, surveys, hydrographic and topographical work. This grant was obtained by arrangement with the Finance Minister and Foreign Legations in May last, with the promise that it should last until the surveys were completed. Lately, however, a suggestion has been thrown out by the Ministry of the Interior that the commission might conveniently be dissolved as soon as the plans for the Nin Mu Tun Cutting have been worked out. This, as a matter of fact, has been done in connection with the Pei Yun Ho reversion, so the proposal amounts to dissolving the commission almost at once. It is scarcely necessary to point out the folly of dissolving the commission with the surveys still unfinished. If the commission is to do the work it was intended it should do, viz., to work out a scheme for the improvement of the whole river system of Chibli, it must necessarily remain in existence until surveys have been completed and schemes have been formulated after a study of the results obtained from these surveys.\n\nThe crux of the whole matter would seem to lie in the necessary financial support being forthcoming. It would be a thousand pities if the commission should be dissolved before it has completed the survey work. It should also be pointed out too that when surveys are completed, any improvement schemes which are advocated should be carried out with the least possible delay if the surveys made are to prove valuable. I need hardly remind you, gentlemen, that owing to the changing nature of the rivers of North China, surveys made at the present time may be quite incorrect ten or fifteen years hence. As far as Tien-tsin is concerned, the project which most nearly concerns us is the improvement of the Yung Ting Ho. This is the silt-laden river which makes constant dredging necessary to keep the Pei Ho in a navigable condition. Were this menace removed, the amount of dredging that would be required in the Pei Ho, year by year, would be considerably lessened, and would consequently involve the expenditure of a much smaller sum than is now required. The Hai Ho Conservancy Board, which is concerned with the keeping in order and the improvement of the rivers in the near vicinity of Tien-tsin, has an adequate and assured income. The Chibli Commission depends entirely for its income on grants that have been made or may be made in the future; there is no assured source of supply. It is highly important that this income should be guaranteed until the work is completed or at any rate until sufficient has been done to make the results really valuable.\n\n## CONCESSION QUESTIONS AT HANKOW AND TIEN-TSIN\n\nIt was unanimously agreed:-\n\nThat this conference views with grave concern the attitude of the Chinese Government, which, in assuming control of areas formerly under foreign jurisdiction, has deprived treaty Power nationals of their rights in regard to the ownership of land and municipal representation. This conference accordingly urges upon His Majesty's Government the supreme importance of safeguarding to the fullest extent the treaty rights of British subjects residing and doing business in China, and of resisting every encroachment upon these rights. It further urges upon His Majesty's Government the absolute necessity of arriving at a satisfactory understanding with the Chinese Government as to the future administration of these areas on such terms as will ensure that the interests of British property-owners and residents shall be in no way prejudiced and the peace and good order of the other concessions fully safeguarded.”\n\nIn moving this resolution, Mr. Mounsey, on behalf of the Tien-tsin Chamber, said in part:-\n\nLast year this conference passed a resolution that whilst sympathising with the desire of the Chinese to see extraterritoriality abolished, it considered certain preliminaries essential, amongst which was a satisfactory code of laws and satisfactory arrangements for the administration of such laws. It needs no words from me to show how China has advanced towards those ends during the last twelve months, or how much nearer she has reached to a consummation of her desire to abolish extraterritorial jurisdiction.\n\nAll the evidence of administration in the case of such opportunities as have come to her is against her.\n\nThe administration of her own affairs is in a hopeless muddle. Confusion is becoming worse confounded. Each province is under the autocratic control of a military chief, owing at the best only shadowy allegiance to Peking, and, at the worst, none at all. Where the control of the Peking Government might be expected to be effective, law and order are almost non-existent: brigands roam the countryside at their own sweet will, ravaging and looting with practical impunity, and neither life nor property is secure. And when in the midst of all this chaos she assumes control of ex-enemy concessions and other foreign areas in a foreign treaty port, what sense of confidence or security is it possible for foreigners to feel!\n\n\"I am not so much concerned for the moment with the actual administration of the ex-German and ex-Austrian concessions except to use them as illustrations of what may be expected if abolition of extraterritoriality were to become an accomplished fact, and would proceed therefrom to the contemplation of the creation of an alternative situation acceptable both to foreigners and Chinese alike, and one which might have the effect of ensuring safety against encroachment on those privileges which foreigners in China now enjoy.\n\nAlmost the first thing the Chinese Government did when it assumed control of the enemy concessions was to abolish all vestige of municipal control formerly enjoyed by foreigners living in those concessions, and had not strenuous protests been made at once, the same policy was threatened in the case of the recent assumption of control of the Russian concession.\n\nIn the enemy concessions, foreign ratepayers had the right of suffrage and of election to the municipal councils of those areas. They had the power to tax themselves and the right of control of all their monies for the benefit of the areas in which they resided. Full municipal control also existed in the Russian concession, and thanks to agitation on all sides exists to-day, though possibly a continued existence of that state is somewhat precarious.\n\nTo take the ex-German concession as an example. When the Germans functioned there, taxation was not excessive, the area was laid out on a sound basis, and the taxes honestly applied towards its up-keep on progressive lines. To-day the Chinese Government is attempting to impose on all and sundry fees amounting to per cent. of the value of the land and buildings when transferred, in addition to the municipal taxes levied by the Germans, and there is no guarantee that those fees or indeed the municipal taxes also will not be arbitrarily increased at any time, or that they will be applied to the area from which they are taken. Foreigners who purchased land in the German area prior to the Chinese occupation did so with knowledge of the conditions; have spent money in improvements and development, and have had a voice in municipal affairs conducted on lines with which they are familiar.\n\nBy the action of the Chinese, the rights of treaty Power nationals in respect to land transfers have been interfered with. Those landowners are still entitled to the maintenance of their treaty rights in this respect as in others, and to have... \n\nPage 489",

        "content_text": "RATES OF REMUNERATION.\n\nIn estimating the value of a sterling salary in Hongkong, a factor of supreme importance is the question of exchange. During the years 1919 to 1921 the value of the Hongkong dollar has varied between 2s. 4d. and 3s. 3d., with violent rises and falls. It will be seen, therefore, that a sterling salary when expressed in dollars will vary within very wide limits, while the purchasing power of the dollar remains practically unaltered. The Colonial Government and some of those firms whose European Staffs are paid on a sterling basis have adopted special exchange rates to obviate the hardships which would otherwise result from these fluctuations in the value of the dollar. The salaries paid by the Government to the following classes of officers may be taken as an index of the general rates of pay for Europeans obtaining in Hongkong:-\n\n  \n    Cadet Officers\n    £400-£1,200\n  \n  \n    Crown Solicitor\n    £1,000-£1,200\n  \n  \n    Assistant Crown Solicitor\n    £600-£800\n  \n  \n    Chief Clerk, Colonial Secretariat\n    £600-£800\n  \n  \n    First Clerk, Colonial Secretariat\n    £400-£600\n  \n  \n    Medical Officers\n    £600-£1,000\n  \n  \n    Nursing Sisters\n    £170-£225\n  \n  \n    Senior Masters, Education Department\n    £750-£850\n  \n  \n    Masters, Education Department\n    £100-£750\n  \n  \n    Assistant Mistresses, Education Department\n    £300-£400\n  \n  \n    Engineers, Public Works Department\n    £460-£950\n  \n  \n    Senior Overseers, Public Works Department\n    £400-£480\n  \n  \n    Overseers, Public Works Department\n    £260-£360\n  \n  \n    Senior Sanitary Inspectors\n    £400-£480\n  \n  \n    Sanitary Inspectors\n    £220-£360\n  \n  \n    Revenue Officers\n    £220-£360\n  \n  \n    Chief Police Inspector and Chief Detective\n    £500-£600\n  \n  \n    Police Inspectors\n    £400-£450\n  \n  \n    Police Sub-Inspectors\n    £320-£360\n  \n  \n    Police Sergeants\n    £220-£300\n  \n  \n    Police Constables\n    £160-£200\n  \n\nThe cost of hotel accommodation for a single person varies from $145 to $250 per month, not inclusive of drinks, electric fans, and fires. The rates for a married couple would be from $240 to $400.\n\nBoarding house accommodation for a single person may be put at $125 to $200 a month; for married couples, perhaps $200 to $350.\n\nIf a private servant be not kept, tips to the house servants would have to be added to the above.\n\nWages of native servants vary from $12 to $30 per month. A married couple of limited means, with no family, would probably be able to manage with servants whose wages would total not more than $40 to $60 a month. For people in better circumstances, and for larger families, the wages bill might amount to anything from $80 to $150 a month.\n\nAs a rough general estimate, the all-round expenditure of a senior Government Officer or senior Member of a large European firm, with a family of three or four persons, might be put at from $800 to $1,000 a month; of a junior, also with family, at $450 to $650: and of a European of the artisan class, with family, $250 to $350 according to size of family, habits, etc. In all these estimates, it is assumed that free quarters or rent allowances are provided.\n\nThe following are the present (1921) prices of some of the usual articles of consumption:\n\n  \n    (a) Locally raised:\n    \n  \n  \n    Beef\n    18 to 38 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Mutton\n    25 to 42 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Pork\n    15 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Chicken\n    35 to 60 cents each\n  \n  \n    Capon\n    55 to 70 cents each\n  \n  \n    Duck\n    32 to 55 cents each\n  \n  \n    Turkey\n    40 cents each\n  \n  \n    Pigeon\n    22 to 25 cents each\n  \n  \n    Snipe\n    ...\n  \n  \n    Quail\n    18 to 20 cents each\n  \n  \n    Partridge\n    15 to ... cents each\n  \n  \n    Pheasant\n    14 to ... cents each\n  \n  \n    Fish:\n    \n  \n  \n    Carp\n    $1.25 to $1.75 each\n  \n  \n    Cod fish\n    about 24 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Mullet\n    20 to 31 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Oysters\n    ...\n  \n  \n    Perch\n    23 to 51 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Pike\n    32 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Plaice\n    39 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Turbot\n    24 to 35 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Crabs\n    ...\n  \n  \n    Lobsters\n    71 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Mackerel\n    20 to 32 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Prawns\n    40 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Salmon\n    30 to 40 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Shrimps\n    20 to 36 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Soles\n    22 to 28 cents per lb.\n  \n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31\n\n  \n    Fruit:\n    \n  \n  \n    Almonds\n    about 45 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Apples\n    32 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Bananas\n    ...\n  \n  \n    Carambola\n    4 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Pears\n    12 to 11 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Persimmons\n    10 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Grapes\n    ...\n  \n  \n    Oranges\n    30 to 15 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Vegetables:\n    \n  \n  \n    Long Beans\n    about 12 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Cabbage\n    ...\n  \n  \n    Carrots\n    20 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Lettuce\n    11 to 8 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Mushrooms\n    ...\n  \n  \n    Onions\n    8 to 10 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Parsley\n    ...\n  \n  \n    Potatoes\n    14 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Pumpkin\n    ...\n  \n  \n    Radish\n    5 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Spinach\n    ...\n  \n  \n    Tomatoes\n    18 to 21 cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Beet root\n    3 cents each\n  \n  \n    Cucumbers\n    15 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n  \n    Cauliflower\n    15 to ... cents per lb.\n  \n\nThe pension rights and security of Government service and, on the other hand, the greater scope for individual enterprise in private employment are, of course, factors which must be taken into account in any comparison of rates of remuneration.\n\nACCOMMODATION AND COST OF LIVING.\n\nHouse rents in Hongkong are very high. For this reason, the Government and many of the large European firms either provide free quarters for their European employees or grant rent allowances in addition to salaries. The following, on which Government rent allowances are based, may be considered as reasonable rents:\n\n  \n    Salary not exceeding £600\n    Rent $120 per month.\n  \n  \n    Salary £600-£900\n    $150\n  \n  \n    Salary £900-£1,200\n    $200\n  \n  \n    Salary exceeding £1,200\n    $250\n  \n\n— 11 —\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31\n\n12",

        "content_text": "(c) CHIHLI RIVER CONSERVANCY.\n\nThe improvement of the Chihli River system is considered the most urgent conservancy project in China at the moment, requiring a loan of $25,000,000 to afford reasonable security from flood and drought to a population of some thirty-four millions. The loan would be secured on the Customs revenues earmarked for the service of the British portion of the Boxer Indemnity.\n\nA loan of this sum at 7 per cent interest, with amortization spread over a term of twenty years, would cost, in the aggregate, $43,375,000 ($25,000,000 for amortization, and $18,375,000 for interest). The charges in connection with this loan should be met from the Customs revenues.\n\nNo public work in China can be considered more urgent than the improvement of the Chihli River system. Disastrous floods in 1917 and 1924 have caused losses amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. An enormous area in Chihli is still under water, and unless the extensive damage done to dykes and embankments during last year's floods can be repaired during the coming Spring, Tientsin will have no defences against floods other than the outer Dyke system.\n\nThe Yungtingho has been breached in four places South-west of Peking, and it is estimated that $2,500,000 will be required to repair this damage alone. A large section of the right bank of the Tachingh has been washed away, and there are also several breaches in the right bank of the Hsi Ho.\n\nThe General Report of the Commission for the Improvement of the Chihli River System issued in September 1924 estimated that an expenditure of $15,500,000 would be required for works which it deemed urgent. Mr. M. T. Liang, Chairman of the International Famine Relief Commission, suggests that money used for conservancy work should be applied on the basis of loans repayable by the districts that have been benefited.\n\nWith the exception of Szechwan and Kwangtung, Chihli has a larger population than any of the Chinese Provinces. It has a fertile soil, the production of which, however, is restricted by recurring floods and droughts.\n\nA scheme was put forward some months ago for the digging of a channel South of Tientsin by famine labour, the funds being provided by the proposed Customs Famine Relief surtax. However, the surtax has never been imposed, and it is doubtful whether the excavation required could have been done by famine-relief labour.\n\nThe local repayments of the proposed loan could be used to develop Conservancy work in Chihli or other parts of China. To avoid any suggestion that Chihli is specially favoured, it might be well to earmark the local repayments for Conservancy work in Kwangtung, or in the Hwai River Basin.\n\nThe scheme would require the following payments, spread over twenty years, from the Customs:\n\n(a) Educational Grants $85,081,519\n(b) Canton-Hankow Railway (Interest only)\n(c) Chihli River Conservancy $8,074,500\n$43,375,000\nTotal $136,531,019\n\nThe British Government has decided to remit its remaining share of the Boxer Indemnity for purposes \"mutually beneficial\" to China and Great Britain. A scheme has been put forward which provides for liberal subsidies to Higher Educational Institutions under British auspices, for the completion of the most important of China's trunk railways, for a network of macadamized roads in three provinces, and for the carrying out of a conservancy project.\n\nThe British Chambers of Commerce, in China, have been inclined to support the allocation of the entire indemnity to educational purposes. However, there are many competent observers who are not convinced that the allocation of the remitted portion of the American Indemnity to education has been an unqualified success.\n\nMr. John V. A. MacMurray, Chief of the Division of Far Eastern Affairs of the Department of State, expressed his personal preference \"for the idea of using this for industrial work, because so much is now being undertaken in education, and possibly there is room in the field of industrial development.\"\n\nMr. Roger S. Greene of the Rockefeller Foundation stated that \"It would seem highly desirable that in any future extension of Western learning in China a determined effort should be made to secure greater unity, so that instead of each group of students getting all its foreign ideas and methods through one foreign nationality, the whole student body may secure what is best from all over the world.\"\n\nMr. Julean Arnold, American Commercial Attaché, asked: \"How many students in the colleges of this great continental country, in their studies in mathematics and economics, concern themselves with the study of the comparative costs of transportation, by human beasts of burden, pack animals, wheelbarrows, carts, motor vehicles and railways?\"\n\nA prominent Chinese alleged that \"Tsing Hua prepares young Chinese to go abroad, but it does not prepare young Chinese to be better Chinese.\" Looking at the results of education on British lines in India, and in Egypt, can it seriously be argued that it has made for greater content, or for more friendly feelings towards Great Britain?\n\nPage 356",

His confidential enquiry agent is employed by the American Society for the Suppression of Prostitution, which is paying all the expenses of this League of Nations Commission, and has been in the employ of this Society for over 10 years. He is by race a Continental Jew (I think Polish), and is the cleverest and most experienced man Mr. Johnson has ever met at getting into the secrets of the traffickers in \"white slaves\", the trade in whom is almost entirely in the hands of Jews. He has produced wonderful results in Europe, North America and South America.\n\n3. But he does not attempt to poke his nose into other sorts of traffic, in which he knows he would be quite useless, and there is not the slightest intention of using him to enquire into the ways of Chinese or other Asiatic traffickers. Sir G. Grindle fears in paragraph 3 are therefore **groundless**.\n\n4. The secret enquiry agent is still in New York and there he will remain until Mr. Johnson cables for him. The reason for this is interesting.\n\n5. There are a large number of white prostitutes in ports on the China Coast, many of whom today are Russians. Shanghai especially has many white prostitutes and they are still permitted in Hong Kong, and there are considerable numbers in some of the northern ports. This agent would have been invaluable for unravelling the traffickers' system by which they are supplied and controlled. But before starting from Geneva, Mr. Johnson gave an undertaking (I think he said to the Secretary-General of the League) not to employ this agent without the consent of the Government of the country in which he was to work. Every country to whose Government Mr. Johnson has applied has given the necessary permission except the Government of China, which after 8 or 9 months of correspondence still refuse permission although assured...",

        "content_text": "# NEWS FROM KWANGSI\n\n## Floods At Wuchow Show Signs Of Abating\n\n## PETROL PRICE REDUCED\n\nWuchow, June 18. Two days ago, Wuchow's flood commenced to pass into history. Fortunately for the city, the heavy rains of the previous days ceased, and only local rains fell. In twenty-four hours, the water gauge recorded a drop of over ten feet. To-day the reading is below 40 feet, which is a drop of more than twenty feet in less than sixty hours. It is rumoured that a large dyke near Shiuhing broke, flooding vast areas in Shiuhing hsien. Daily showers continue in the afternoon, but unless unexpected heavy rains occur in the interior, the West River has passed the crisis of damaging flood waters.\n\n## Panyang as Model City\n\nPanyang, the model city of Kwangsi, not far from Nanning, recently had a very auspicious opening. The Government is undertaking here to build a city on modern lines. Technicians and experts from many foreign universities have been engaged in erecting a town which will be the pride of Kwangsi. Unfortunately, the opening exercises were marred by a fatal accident, in which ten people were killed or wounded. A troupe of noted actors had been engaged to put on some theatricals. They were in the midst of a play when a sudden violent storm occurred, resulting in the collapse of the temporary theatre.\n\n## Locust Visitation\n\nA plague of locusts is now visiting a section of Kweihsien district. At Muk Tsz village these pests have so destroyed crops and plants that the farmers are having a hard time to find things to eat. Rice has soared in price until in that section, where this commodity is grown and sold at a very low price, a picul is now bringing nearly $14. In order to drive away the locusts, the farmers are resorting to superstitious methods. One \"cure\" is to patrol the fields day and night beating on drums and with brass gongs clanging, hoping thus to frighten away the insects.\n\n## Oil Rate-War Effect\n\nSixteen native oil refineries have recently been forced to close down, and to leave the field of oil competition to the various foreign companies, such as the Asiatic Petroleum, the Socony-Vacuum and the Texaco. Investigation is now being conducted into the circumstances surrounding the closures.",

I understand that Sir Geoffrey Northcote is already in communication with the Colonial Office in the matter and I am told that Sir Geoffrey would be glad if Dr. Nixon, late President of the Hong Kong Eugenics League and former Rockefeller Fellow of Gynaecology and Obstetrics in the University of Hong Kong, could explain to you one or two points about this matter.  \n\nMr. C. D. Forrest of the Hong Kong Civil Service and Dr. Yeo of the Hong Kong Medical Department would like to accompany Dr. Nixon and myself if you are good enough to see us and if you have no objection. I think we need only take up about fifteen minutes of your time and we shall be most grateful if you can spare us this.  \n\nYours sincerely,  \nKayout Pyke  \n**Hon. Secretary**",

For example, \"Meshighe\", \"deopi o\", \"ن\", \"عينا\", \"гесе сето\", \"صف معناها\", and \"स\" are likely misrecognitions.\n\n## Step 3: Look for Coherent Fragments\nDespite the jumbled nature, there are some coherent fragments like \"please\", \"today\", \"also\", \"where\", \"too\", \"abo\", and dates or numbers like \"45\", \"16\", \"06\", \"54144\", \"15\", \"25\", \"3 weeks\", \"12\", \"24\", \"21\", \"286\", \"20/2\", and \"17·7-45\". These could be parts of a legitimate text.\n\n## Step 4: Attempt to Reconstruct the Text\nGiven the task rules, the goal is to correct spelling errors, fix spacing issues, rejoin broken sentences, and restore paragraph breaks without rephrasing or rewriting the original text.\n\n## Step 5: Apply Task Rules\n1. **Format in Markdown**: The output should be in standard Markdown.\n2. **Correct Spelling Errors**: Correct obvious spelling mistakes.\n3. **Fix Spacing Issues**: Remove extra spaces and add missing ones.\n4. **Rejoin Broken Sentences**: Attempt to merge split sentences.\n5. **Restore Paragraph Breaks**: Format the text into proper paragraphs.\n\n## Step 6: Realize the Limitation\nGiven the input text's condition, it's challenging to apply these rules effectively. The text lacks coherence, making it difficult to identify original sentences or paragraphs.\n\n## Step 7: Output in HTML as Requested\nDespite the instructions to follow Markdown formatting, the final request is to output in HTML using `` for paragraphs. Given the incoherent nature of the input, a sensible HTML output is not feasible without making significant assumptions.\n\nThe provided text appears to be heavily corrupted and does not form coherent sentences or paragraphs.\n\nAttempts to correct and reformat the text according to the given rules are hindered by its jumbled and multilingual nature.\n\nFurther clarification or a different input might be necessary for a more accurate and helpful output.\n\nHowever, adhering strictly to the format and instructions:\n\nMeshighe 45 the deopi o ن es (16) 06 54144/) allacherd 10g you please Itowar the nuas 15 25 to blo 3 weeks عينا Also гесе сето صف معناها of the day to today encored wish.143 where ofore t 45.160 t slcule too bo pr 541441 Abit 12 24.

At the discussion which Mr. Pyke and I had with Mr. Winnifrith in October (at which Mr. Pyke had indicated that, in his view, the Malayan Union would not need a free grant, but would be able to manage with loans) I myself indicated that we might well have to ask the Treasury for a free grant to Singapore and Mr. Winnifrith did not rule out such a possibility. All that he asked us to do in his letter of the 4th November (No. 5 on 55178/10/46) was that we should not ourselves put the idea of a free grant into the heads of our Far Eastern Colonial Governments.\n\nSince that date we have ourselves been coming to the conclusion that Mr. Pyke's views about the financial position of the Malayan Union Government were unduly optimistic and that we might well have to ask the Treasury for a free grant to that Government, as well as to those of the other Far Eastern Colonies. And this possibility has been kept open in Mr. Caine's and my letters to Mr. Winnifrith at Nos. 6 and 10 on that file. What I myself have doubted (and continue to doubt) is whether any useful purpose would be served by attempting to get the Treasury to agree at this stage to the \"principle\" of free grants. I have also felt that we should be on very much stronger ground if we held our hands until we can present some fairly complete picture of the financial prospects of these territories.\n\nWe are still not in a position to do this for Singapore and the Malayan Union. For example, we still have not the remotest idea of what the war damage bill is likely to amount to. Mr. Carson (the Malayan War Damage Commissioner) who has...",
