Parker, Rear-Admiral. \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\n-No. 18.- \n\nCory of a LETTER from Lord Fitzgerald & Vesci to Lord Stanley. \n\nIndia Board, 6 December 1841. \n\nNo. 18. \n\nMy Lord, I HAVE the honour to transmit, for your Lordship's information, a copy of two Lord Fitzgerald letters from the Governor-general of India, addressed to Sir John Hobhouse, late and Vesci to Lord President of this Board, and dated respectively the 16th of September and the Stanley, 16th of October last, together with their enclosures, connected with the expedition \n\n6 December 1841.+ to China. \n\nThat of the 16th of September points out the necessity of sending provisions from England, and appears to require immediate attention. It was evidently intended that this letter should have reached England by the last mail from India, but it has only been received at the India Board on this morning, together with that of the 9th of October. \n\nI have felt it right to communicate to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a copy of Lord Auckland's letter to Sir Henry Pottinger of the 9th of October, which refers to the payment for opium seized by the Chinese authorities at Canton. \n\nI have not received any copy of the letter to Captain Kuper, mentioned in Lord Auckland's despatch to Sir William Parker of the 9th of October. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(signed) \n\nFitzgerald & Vesci. \n\nEnclosure in No. 18. \n\nEnclosure in No. 17. \n\nA DEMAND for the under-mentioned quantity of provisions required to complete Her Majesty's Naval Forces in China (amounting to 4,200 men), from the 1st September 1842 to the 28th February 1843. \n\nBread Spirits \n\nFlour \n\nSuet \n\nTea Chocolate \n\nOatmeal \n\nProportion for 4,200 men for 181 days. \n\n756,000 pounds \n\n760,200 \n\n25,987 imperial gallons \n\n23,756 \n\n212,625 pounds \n\n213,804 \n\n10,514 ditto \n\n17,818 \n\nRaisins \n\n35,437 ditto \n\n35,836 \n\n11,812 ditto \n\n11,878 \n\n9,919 ditto \n\n47,512 \n\nSugar \n\n82,687 ditto \n\n71,268 \n\n6,750 gallons \n\n6,787 \n\nVinegar \n\n5,432 ditto \n\n6,787 \n\nLemon Juice \n\n3,800 pounds. \n\nPreserved Meats. \n\nWith a proportion of \n\nPreserved Soups. \n\nWine for Sick. \n\nGiven under \n\nmy \n\nhand at Chusan, 16 November 1841. \n\n(signed) \n\nRoddam Sate, \n\nApproved. \n\n(signed) \n\nW. Parker, Rear-Admiral. \n\nAgent Victualler. \n\nN. B.---There is more than a sufficient quantity of salt beef, salt pork and peas on the station to complete the squadron to the 28th February 1843. \n\nR. S. \n\nHonourable Sir, \n\n(Received 6 December 1841.) \n\nFort William, 16 September 1841. \n\nI HAVE the honour to enclose a copy of a despatch dated 15th instant, No. 759, and of its Encl. in No. 18. enclosures, from the Military Board of this Presidency; and to state that it appears to me very desirable that early measures should be taken for sending from England the provisions noted in paragraph 3 of that despatch, so as to reach Hong-Kong certainly not later than 1st July 1842. \n\n2. It will be necessary that intimation of the orders issued upon this recommendation should be communicated to this government by the earliest possible opportunity, so that, should it not be approved, immediate measuresmay be taken for completing the required stock of provisions at this place. An answer to this letter cannot be received from you until about the 18th or 20th of December next, and every day will be of importance at that period of the season, for the better preparation of the necessary stock of salt meat. You will be aware, however, that the salt meat cured in India is of exceedingly inferior quality, and it is on that account especially that I would strongly urge a compliance with this suggestion for meeting the wants of the expedition from England. \n\n3. It seems to me that all such stores should be consigned to the common use of the and and addressed to the officer of the commissariat at Hong-Kong, under whose army navy, charge the depôts now in the course of construction will probably be placed. \n\n4. For the consumption of the force until July 1842, sanction will be given to the sition offered by the Military Board in paragraph 4 of their letter now sent. \n\npropo- \n\n5. I learn also from the medical department that it is difficult to supply from Calcutta the demand for certain descriptions of medicine, and particularly of Quinine and of Dover's Powders; and I would request, therefore, that a sufficient quantity of these medicines for a force of Europeans, not fewer than 7,500 in number, serving in a country where they are peculiarly liable to intermittent fever, be sent directly from England for the use of the expedition, to the care of the superintending surgeon and medical storekeeper at Hong- Kong, \n\nTo the Right honourable Sir J. C. Hobhouse, Bart., President of the Board of Control. \n\nI have, &c. (signed) Auckland. \n\n596. \n\nD 2",

        "content_text": "REPORT\n\nUPON\n\nTHE TEA PLANTATIONS\n\nIN THE NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES.\n\nKAOLAGIR TEA PLANTATION.\n\n1. Situation and Extent.-The Deyra Doon, or Valley of Deyra, is situated in latitude 30° 18' north, and in longitude 78° east. It is about 60 miles in length from east to west, and 16 miles broad at its widest part. It is bounded on the south by the Sewalick range of hills, and on the north by the Himalayas proper, which on the west are here nearly 8000 feet above the level of the sea. It is open to the River Jumna, and on the east to the Ganges, the distance between these rivers being about 60 miles.\n\nIn the centre of this flat valley, the Kaolagir tea plantation has been formed. Eight acres were under cultivation in 1847.\n\nThere are now 300 acres planted, and about 90 more taken in and ready for many thousands of young plants raised lately from seeds in the plantation.\n\n2. Soil and Culture. The soil of this plantation is composed of clay, sand, and vegetable matter, rather stiff and apt to get \"baked\" in dry weather, but free enough when it is moist, or during the rains. It rests upon a gravelly subsoil, consisting of limestone, sandstone, clay-slate, and quartz rock, or of such rocks as enter into the composition of the surrounding mountain ranges. The surface is comparatively flat, although it falls in certain directions towards the ravines and rivers.\n\nThe plants are arranged neatly in rows 5 feet apart, and each plant is about 4¾ feet from its neighbour in the row. A long rank-growing species of grass indigenous to the Doon, is most difficult to keep from over-topping the tea-plants, and is the cause of much extra labour. Besides the labour common to all tea countries in China, such as weeding, and occasionally loosening the soil, there is an extensive system of irrigation carried on. To facilitate this, the plants are planted in trenches, from four to six inches below the level of the ground, and the soil thus dug out is thrown between the rows to form the paths. Hence the whole of the plantation consists of numerous trenches of this depth, and five feet from centre to centre. At right angles with these trenches a small stream is led from the canal, and by opening or shutting their ends, irrigation can be carried on at the pleasure of the Overseer.\n\n3. Appearance and Health of Plants.-The plants generally did not appear to me to be in that fresh and vigorous condition which I had been accustomed to see in good Chinese plantations. This, in my opinion, is caused, 1st, by the plantation being formed on flat land; 2nd, by the system of irrigation, 3rd, by too early plucking, and 4th, by hot drying winds, which are not unfrequent in this valley from April to the beginning of June.\n\nGUDDOWLI PLANTATION (NEAR PAORIE).\n\n1. Situation and Extent.-This plantation is situated in the Province of Eastern Gurhwal, in latitude 30° 8' north, and in longitude 78° 45' east. It consists of a large tract of terraced land, extending from the bottom of a valley or ravine to more than 1000 feet up the sides of the mountain. Its lowest portion is about 4,300 feet, and its highest 5,300 feet above the level of the sea: the surrounding mountains appear to be from 7000 to 8000.\n\nThe plantation has not been measured, but there are, apparently, fully one hundred acres under cultivation.\n\nThere are about 500,000 plants already planted, besides a large number of seedlings in beds ready for transplanting. About 3,400 of the former were planted in 1844, and are now in full bearing; the greater portion of the others are much younger, having been planted out only one, two, and three years.\n\n2. Soil and Culture.—The soil consists of a mixture of loam, sand, and vegetable matter; is of a yellow colour, and is most suitable for the cultivation of the tea-plant. It resembles greatly the soil of the best tea districts in China. A considerable quantity of stones are mixed with it, chiefly small pieces of clay-slate, of which the mountains are here composed. Large tracts of equally good land, at present covered with jungle, are available in this district without interfering in any way with the rights of the settlers.\n\nI have stated that this plantation is formed on the hill side. It consists of a succession of terraces, from the bottom to the top, on which the tea-bushes are planted. In its general features it is very like a Chinese tea plantation, although one rarely sees tea lands terraced in China. This, however, may be necessary in the Himalayas, where the rain falls so heavily. Here too the system of irrigation is carried on, although to a small extent only, owing to the scarcity of water during the dry season.\n\n3. Appearance and Health of Plants.--This plantation is a most promising one, and I have no doubt will be very valuable in a\n\n177",

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.

        "content_text": "## SUPPLEMENT.\n\nbelonging to the Thistle at the time of the massacre, and a belonging to the shop on the 15th January by Mr Tarant and Mr Macilreath. They all three have known him in his two-fold capacities. Too \n\nsubjected the prisoners to such cruelty will be severely censured by the Government; but we may believe, Gentlemen, that it is without the knowledge of Mr Mercer or H.M. Government. I treat with disdain the insinuations thrown out against me by Dr Bridges, as I feel assured my character is too well established in my \n\nry at the time in question. The 4th has been proved by Mr Duddell and the boy. The 5th, a servant to the Consulate of this Colony. Further, the 7th and 8th prisoners by Mr Daddell and several of the Chinese witnesses. The 9th has been identified as Alum, the Master of the Bakery. The 19th has been recognised as having been suspected as an assistant at the retail shop.\n\nsome time reproaches have been cast upon the Government for not meeting the exigencies of the present crisis with adequate spirit; and the great question in every one's mouth, and has not yet died away, is not \"martial law proclaimed!\" And now that a little vigour is being shown, we are denounced for cruelty and injustice!\n\nIt is not hard to conceive why a different course should be taken, or that in the present disturbed state of the Colony, Asiatics should not be allowed the same privileges as Europeans. Is it not consistent with all that is passing around us to assert that the awful crime perpetrated was by the influence of the Mandarins? And who can hear of the atrocities that have been committed towards Her Majesty's subjects without shuddering, or after the rewards that have been offered for the head of any European without distinction as to his standing by the Chinese authorities at Canton, would not infer upon them as having been the signs of the late attempt to poison this entire Community? And yet, forsooth, the Counsel for the prisoners has told you, Gentlemen, that it is wrong to accuse the Mandarins of being the instigating source. It is a fact that might pass current up to Peking.\n\nThe darkest crime the Newgate Calendar contains bears no comparison to the case now before your notice, Gentlemen. What reward, I ask you, do you think the prisoner Alum would have received, and what could have induced him to have committed such a diabolical attempt? It has been argued that the prisoner's affairs were in a hopeless state of bankruptcy. What would have been his reward? Do you not think that had his crime been successful, he would not have been a high Mandarin at Canton, and that if the crimes that had been conceived to have been committed by him in his countrymen's eyes would have been wiped out, and the past forgiven for ever? Would any one have disapproved if a different course had been pursued towards the prisoners, and instead of allowing them a trial, which such wretches do not deserve, they had been dealt with in a summary manner, and had suffered the short and sharp pangs of death which they had intended we should suffer? Their crime deserved the fate of a traitor's count; but much, Gentlemen, as you may agree that they are before a jury as laid before you, I am bound to tell you, if any reasonable doubt of their guilt rests upon your minds, you are bound to acquit. \"But, Gentlemen, it will not be your duty to stretch the points set up for their defence to too great a length, and in the opinion I feel certain the Bench will concur.\n\nIt was Gentlemen, who advised the Government and Mr Mercer to conduct the investigation as they did. Had the case been sent to the Police Court, what would have been the consequences? Why, the various technicalities of the Law would have led to postponements from week to week, and such postponements would have been most deleterious to the ends of justice. The investigation, I affirm, required to be carried on with the utmost secrecy, or the Government would not have been able to obtain information sufficient to convict them. It is much to Mr Mercer's credit that he came forward and acted as an extra official in his capacity of J.P. at the investigation; and the Government have acted most judiciously in the course they have adopted. The investigation was held in a manner...and that is the reason why it was held. Every means has been adopted by the Government to find out any facts that might transpire, and to bring the diabolical attempt made against this Community home upon the heads of the perpetrators of it. And again, to commit the prisoners at the bar, and not encumber the Justices of the Peace whose hands were full of business.\n\nThe manner in which the case has been conducted is highly creditable to Messrs Mercer and May, for the pains they took to elicit the truth. They obtained evidence sufficient as they thought, and though, to commit the 10 prisoners...\n\n5. The reason the prisoners have been detained by Government being Government is because they are considered improper persons to be at large among the community by Ordinance No 2-1837. I hope either this explanation or no further reflection may be past over Mr Mercer's conduct. I also trust that the report published in our papers this morning may be found to be exaggerated, and that those who are guilty of the alleged cruelties will be brought to justice. At all events, I can assure you, Gentlemen, that I know nothing about it.\n\nI propose now to call your attention to the leading facts of the case as it has been placed before you, and you will not feel wearied, I hope, if I endeavour to point out to you how the various evidence given during the last three days is connected, and how that although the Counsel for the prisoners tried to rebut the evidence, he has rather gone to strengthen the evidence of the prisoners' guilt. I alluded to my opening address on the 1st day of the inquiry, in which I intimated that I would be bringing before your notice such a body of proof as it would be impossible to disprove; and we have done so. Though I must herealong express my thanks to Mr Comper Turner and Mr May for the valuable assistance they have rendered.\n\nHaving cleared the way so far, the learned Gentleman said that as they all were connected with the shop on that day, they must have all connived at the poisoning of the bread.\n\nAnother contract to supply H.M. Commissariat with 100,000 lbs. of bread, and another to supply the U.S. Stores with 108,000 lbs. of biscuit. To do all this, Alum had only $1220 in the chest, and 8,000 lbs. of bread on his premises. Mr Duddell's and Mr Foster's connection with Alum's business is curious. There is to be a partnership between them.\n\neven tells you that when Alum was arrested, he did not consider himself in debt to Alum to any large amount; and you see at the present time he owns himself considerably in his debt. He does not know how the accounts stand. They have been running on for years. There was never a balance struck between them. It was a running account. There is my story in a nutshell - a miscellaneous business.\n\nto me about this manner of carrying on business altogether! \n\nThe great evidence of Mr Pastan, their Cheque de Bataille, who does it all amount to? Moonshine - for you heard yourself how the man quaverated over it, and that what evidence he did give was forced from him by me. I extorted from him by my cross-examination that Alum did not pay him voluntarily, and, Gentlemen, may he not be allowed to draw inferences from facts? So much then for the temptation to commit the crime - it was irresistible. What inducement might Alum afford to sacrifice his brilliant position here when before him stood the bonus of $9000 and the button of a Mandarin of the third class? Wait - (the learned gentleman was here checked by Dr Bridges, who protested most emphatically upon any draft on the imagination - there was not one word in evidence of any reward having been offered - not a word of a Mandarin's button). The Attorney General continued - True - nothing had been given in evidence regarding the reward beyond the rumour alluded to by Mr Dawson - but the jury and the Court could draw inferences when they were evident from the evidence, and inferred from the mass of incoherent perjuries that had been given in the defence.\n\nthe proportion to have been a drachm of arsenic to a pound of bread. If so, there must have been 10 lbs. of arsenic put in the quantity of bread that was baked, and it would be impossible for any one to have mixed that quantity unknown to the overseers, and without the knowledge of those in charge and employed in the shop. At the same time, he asked, had their conduct been such as to leave any doubt regarding their guilt? Dr Harland has informed you that he analyzed the bread and found one drachm of arsenic, but 6 grains in every pound loaf; and by this fact, as elicited, strong presumption that if Alum did not put the arsenic actually in the flour himself, he must have known of its having been put in. I have traced the bread to Deimspier, and I proved that he was poisoned by it. Now, Gentlemen, you must agree with me, I think, that a prima facie case has been established by the Crown. You have, Gentlemen, proof before you of Alum's having been at the bakery on the 14th between the hours of 4 and 6 a.m., at the time the dough was mixed. You have the fact that when the bread left the shop for delivery on January 16th, Alum and his family were attending in the shop. If you believe the evidence you have heard, can you suppose they knew nothing about the poisoning? Another remarkable feature is that poison was found in both white and brown bread delivered. The poison could not have been mixed in the yeast or in the flour, for the most careful tasters would have detected it. Then it must have been mixed up with the dough. Mr Drinker tells you that he left Alum in the dark room at the very time that the men were employed mixing the dough there, and one of the prisoners' witnesses confirms these facts by admitting that the dough was mixed that day at 4 p.m., the very hour of the prisoner's visit. Another stronger proof of Alum's knowledge of the poisoning is that after being told of Aheep's unwillingness to give evidence at the Coroner's inquest on the body found on the Thistle, (Alum) did not dismiss him from his service, but took him into his more intimate confidence, and placed him in a higher post of trust.\n\nMr Tarraut tells you how he warned his servant, as he saw Aheep on that day cavorting in such a situation of trust, though too late, not to take any raw bread from Eating-op, as he had his suspicion that Aheep was concerned in and had conspired at the Thistle massacre. You have thus brought home to Alum, then, the fact of his having been present at the mixing of the dough used in making the bread, at the very moment when the 10 lbs. of arsenic were being mixed up with it; you have this further fact that the dough of which the confectionary was made that day, probably the very dough of which Alum's children's bread were made, was not poisoned. Dr Harland discovered that fact, and I think this body of evidence irresistible.\n\nAlum made his grand stand to prove his innocence, upon his intention to remain - the condition of his affairs, the contracts he had entered into, and the amount of property he held in Hongkong. But the Attorney General knew that he hazarded little when he told the Jury on the last day that he would refute the evidence for the whole of the prisoners - but he would call the attention of the Jury more particularly to the chief prisoner, Alum, and leave the residue to their consideration hereafter. In Alum's statement, he says he had no intention of leaving Hongkong. Now Mr Dixson said Alum had said he thought he should have to go to Singapore. Mr Da Silver, too, told me that Alum told him he thought he meant to leave Hongkong. At Mauzow, the head pirate concerned in the old last robbery was fortunately captured on his way to Singapore, and there is very little doubt that the prisoner Alum was on his way to that Ultima Thule. He told Mr Stephanson he was not going; to Mr Edwards, he said the same. This, Gentlemen, I am about to tell you is an extraordinary fact - that upon Mr Edwards appearing suspicious at Alum's conduct, he at once concluded a contract for flour and bought it at an exorbitant price, paying Mr Edwards for the higher price, he being reminded.\n\nAlso, he knew the punishment that awaited him if he remained home to settle down, and that if he did not take the signal proof to show the Mandarins he was no friend of the Barbarians.\n\nTo remain in Hongkong, we have heard repeatedly. The mat maker received the order from Mr Stephenson 18 days before he returned it again dishonoured, and if Alum's circumstances were in such a flourishing state, why did he not pay the $250, the amount of that order? I wish to know how he could go and engage to supply the Commissariat with 100,000 lbs. of bread and the United States with 108,000 lbs. of biscuit on the very day he had not enough money in his possession to buy the first bill, unless it was in case the poisoning failed and he was taken, and to help Alum in his defence.\n\nThe papers, or title deeds, as Dr Bridges has called them, which were found in the chest are not in his name. They belong to the Cheong tribe, of which he is a member, (but not to him in all trust). It is probable that the $1200 which were found there too did not belong to him, but to a relation, and therefore he dared not touch it. But these papers prove nothing. It is in evidence that the last receipt for rent is sufficient proof of title to land in China - and where is the last receipt for rent? He knew that his family were not safe from punishment while he was in Hongkong; he knew that there were 63 Mandarins in Hongkong; he knew that while he was in Hongkong, he was in the midst of a set of robbers; and, Gentlemen, as I have stated before, without committing some heavy crime against the Barbarians as a proof of his allegiance to the Mandarins, home he dared not go! So much then for the motives recognised as great efforts of virtuous reparation.\n\nNow let us look to his conduct after the crime was done. Was it the conduct of an innocent and unconscious man? He departed in haste for Macao. On his way, he was bailed from a boat by a man he knew well on that morning of the 15th January; he turned his hand away, so that he should not be seen 50 feet from him. But he took the bread on board. That person you heard was not more with him, forsooth a Chinaman does not eat bread, you know! Why, then, did he take nothing but bread on board the steamer for his family - and why on that day did he evince such a partiality for bread? Mr Mackenzie has told you that during the 13 days that Alum has been in his custody, he has never eaten or asked for bread. He says that when his family were taken sick, he sent one of his servant boys to tell the Captain of it, which the Captain has denied, and if his statement is true, why has the refutation not been produced in Court? Gentlemen, you see plainly he sent no message; he could have spoken if he had wished to the gaoler through the bars, or to some of the officers; you naturally suppose from the evidence of the child's sickness being so much for his defence that they were only slightly sick, as the nurse has told you that she and they were quite well after...\n\npayment should not be made until the month of landing in Hongkong. Of the Chinese, Gentlemen, the prisoner Alum knew when he made that contract that before that day became due, he would either be a dead man or a high Mandarin in Canton.\n\nhave been brought before your notice - none have suffered the same effect as Europeans. They have had good...of the pains - none of the symptoms of arsenic with which the Europeans have been afflicted, and, as you have heard, not recovered from the effect of it. The Chinese constitution can allow them a day or two, as he was \"hard up\", might be so very different from that of ourselves, as these circumstances are very remarkable. You, Gentlemen of the Jury, are bound to believe that he told the truth about his intention of leaving this Colony. Do you doubt for one minute that a Chinaman could blind the Chinese? Are not the Chinese spies everywhere - is it not a well-known fact that we cannot keep a secret from them? What should keep him is such I dread at the particular time Mr Edwards called - were not his sons...\n\nhave been old that they would state, Is it not remarkable that Alum's statement satiates the inquiry and blunts \"the European with the low burning of the Chinese!\" But that statement has been proved to be false. You have heard that...\n\nhe owes. Mr Edwards a larger sum of money - to Mr Foster, he owes $900, to Mr Pastan $15,000. To Mr Edwards and Mr Stephenson, he is also indebted to large amounts. He boasts that he had one contract in hand, 27,000 lbs. to 8,000 lbs. of biscuit to Messrs Tao, Bang & Co.\n\nespecially Mr Cooper Turner, who wants constantly going up and down stairs? You heard his services without either fee or reward, and I have great satisfaction in saying that to Mr Forney, he did have taken more pains or spent more time than he has done in making some of the information which passes.\n\nThere is plenty of unprincipled prisoners, and the fact that the bread came from the Eung shop on the 15th Jan. and the connection of the shop and the bakery, have been fully proved. The 1st prisoner has been identified by Mr Wray, and Mr Lopraik, as being in and belonging to the shop on the morning of the 16th January. The 2nd has been proved by Mr Dixson...\n\nto be able to take poison and quickly be a little sick afterwards. Again, Gentlemen, who ever heard of a Chinese waiting till 11 a.m. before he had his breakfast, and at that very breakfast to betray such a marvellous passion for bread? You may suppose from this that it was either a falsehood that the people were sick, and it must be that it was maly sea-sickness.\n\nMr Robinet has told you that when he arrested Alum, he, Alum, said, \"Any man have dishonoured Hong Kong, must...\".\n\nThe whole of Alum's statement, Gentlemen, although well got up, you can now see is a tissue of perjury. The indictment is similar in one point of view to that of Whalley at the York Assizes of 1817; namely, that the abject attempt made has been signally exposed by the medical testimony. There, the radical evidence exculpated the falsehood of the charge - here, it establishes its truth. Yet this case is far stronger than that. There, the only thing that saved Whalley was the manner in which the prosecutrix described the symptoms of her pretended suffering. Doctors Thackrah and Walker declared they could not have been the effect of arsenic. The arsenic was found in the testes, and in the several tampons which the prosecutrix had contrived to produce...\n\nthat the...\n\nShe had mixed the arsenic with poisonous substances besides, and upon being cross-examined, she has confessed she had done so to convict Whalley of the pretended rape. Here, in the present case, the Chinese that profess to have suffered have not said it as plain to every man that Alum's statement is a perjury throughout. Gentlemen, I do not take an interest in their conviction, or that I can treat such men as these impartially. Notwithstanding the taunts and unmanly interruptions to which I have been subjected...\n\nThe learned Gentleman had just before been interrupted by Dr Bridges with an emphatic expression at some passage - it was not; and as the Doctor's words were in the teeth of the Judge's notes, Mr Anstey remarked that though Dr Bridges had fact for his authority, it was unmannerly so to express himself - and that as he had not fact for his authority, it was detecting an epithet he would not bestow on it.\n\nI have, I am sure, in indicating the difference between a real and a pretended case of poisoning - the guilt of the prisoners, Gentlemen, is established by their own defence; and I feel certain if they are acquitted, the Chinese will look upon the British Authorities with contempt. You have seen one man, Aheep, who was present at the Thistle massacre, escaping the ends of justice by the technicalities of the British law; and soon after, you find him uding in attempting to perform another tragedy only on a larger scale. Gentlemen, a clearer case of guilt could never be arrived at by circumstantial evidence; and I fear assured you will find it your duty to convict.\n\nBut I will not attempt to conceal that I have an anxious presentiment as to the probable result. I will not allude to the several unmanageable circumstances that have attended the defence; but I fear that I have not said sufficient to clear away the glamour thrown over your eyes by the opposing Counsel. I repeat, I am doubtful as to the result; and if it should be that you return a verdict of acquittal, I can but tell you that I feel such a verdict will be a great - an unappreciable calamity in this small community. We have first the commission of a great crime, and for that crime, no punishment. Such a verdict would set a precedent in this Colony. Let it once be seen that the law is power...\n\nlet it be established in the Chinese mind that this Court has not the power to check deeds like those unless they are convicted, and carried into execution in the trust or the most public place - then, no longer is the life of a European safe in the Colony; and it will not require the skill of the prophet to number the days of those now present. And there will be another calamity, or rather, (for it exists in some sort already) - it will be made strong and enduring again! The impression is that our administration of justice is corrupt, that our criminal jurisprudence designs not the chastisement of the great men of Tai-ping-shan, and deals only with low and petty offenders; that the laws of England have no terror in their threats for men wealthy and wise enough to submit to the exactions of their prosecutors, and that a judicious prodigality in the matter of fees and costs will always purchase immunity. If the opinion is unfounded, be it your part, Gentlemen, to disabuse them of their error.\n\nThe Attorney General here resumed his seat, and it must have given him great satisfaction to hear by the stamping of feet that the public felt thankful to him for the pains he had taken to bring the guilt home to Alum and his fellow prisoners.\n\nThe Court adjourned for 18 minutes, and on resuming, his Lordship, the Judge, addressed the Jury to the fact that it would be their duty to expunge from their minds anything they might have read or heard outside the Court. Alum had been shown to have been at the bakery the afternoon of January 14th, while the dough was being mixed, and if the Jury thought that he had mixed the poison, or ordered it to be mixed, or had any knowledge about it, they must adjudge him guilty. His Lordship then read over the whole of the evidence and Alum's statement (which will be found below), after which he said, if they were of opinion that it was false about his family being sick, it would be prima facie proof of his guilt; as if, on the contrary, they thought they had been poisoned, there would be a prima facie reason for believing him innocent. This, however, was for them to judge. His Lordship then said that as the Attorney General had explained every part of the evidence so clearly to them, it would be useless for him to go over it again. The Jury retired then for 30 minutes, and on their return into Court, returned a verdict of Not guilty by a vote of 9 to 4, which was received with hisses.\n\nThe Judge looked at the Attorney General, and the Attorney looked at the Judge, but as the prisoners were acquitted, they must be discharged. Before they left the hall, however, they were again arrested, and taken to gaol as suspicious persons.\n\n## ALUM'S STATEMENT.\n\nCheong Alum, his statement - being duly cautioned, saith - With regard to the poisoning of the bread, he is entirely ignorant - but the bread is made in one part of the oven, and he lives in another.\n\nTo Mr Dawson, he said - he never had any idea of doing such a thing, but just declared the contrary. To him, he had pretended that it was only a pigeon, and that a little medicine would make all proper. But what is incoherent and bewildering. To the same Mr Dawson, he also confessed that the reason why the offer of the 60 dollars was made to Cheung, had been because...\n\nthat he having eaten of that morning for Macao, was considered on board, as an argument of his guilt.\n\nHe came to the Colony at only 18 years of age - he was first employed by Mr Bigelow, whereby afterwards went to California; after that by Mr Franklyn; then by Morrison, Stephenson & Co.; then by Mr Da Silver, for whom he made biscuits, as well as did other business. He some time afterwards purchased a machine for making biscuit, and then another from Mr Daddell, for $1,800; and as these were insufficient, he purchased sugar...\n\nSee back, page No. 17.\n\nIndigen.\n\nLogsp.\n\n10030 Trong không \n\nGovernment Offices, Hong Kong \nof the Tophers in 1875 \n\nThe Chief Magistrate having applied for certain Law Books as will be seen from the enclosed: his letter to the Colonial Secretary, I have the honor to request that...\n\nThe Right Honorable \nHenry Labouchere, M.P. \n...",

Bread can be baked on an hour's notice by iron hands as cleanly as expeditious. Steam-engines, which almost seem intelligent, card, dye, and weave, whatever textile raw material you give them, and by and by cut it and sew it if required.\n\nHad we only, accordingly, the old Industrial Arts, thus for ever renewing themselves, the necessity for keeping pace with them would be argument enough for an Industrial Museum, where their progress could be watched and studied by all. But besides those elder sons and servants of mercantile enterprise—who, like the eagle, seem to grow younger as they grow older—think of the infant arts which have been born in our own day, and are younger than most of us. Each of them, a Hercules in his cradle, has already strangled serpents, and has more than twelve labours before him. Railway-making, electro-metallurgy, electro-telegraphy and photography, may here represent those Titanic babes, who, already with mature faces, are bidding all men look to the new time-ball which they have dropped before them, and see that their chronometers are set by that.\n\n# AND COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE\n\nIV. I have hitherto referred almost solely to the Exhibitional galleries of the Museum. To render, however, their contents useful to the public, they must be carefully classified, intelligibly labelled, and described at some length in suitable catalogues. The Museum therefore must include within its walls, a laboratory and workshop where the nature of unknown substances and the powers of new machines may be investigated, and a library where the literature of industrial science may be available for the guidance of the officers of the institution in classifying the contents of the Museum. Further, an essential appendage of an Industrial Museum is a lecture-room, where detailed prelections may be given on the contents of the Museum, and where in addition, the various industrial arts may be expounded in relation to the laws or principles on which they are based, and may be illustrated not only by the objects in the Exhibitional galleries, but by maps, diagrams, drawings, chemical and mechanical experiments, the exhibition on the small scale of manufacturing processes, and of machines at work; as well as through the medium of the other appliances employed in University and other classrooms by teachers of the physical sciences.\n\nAll the existing Industrial Museums, except that at Kew, are supplemented by laboratory, library, and",

Added or removed spaces to improve readability and corrected obvious spacing issues.\n3. Left \"Page 300\" and \"Page 301\" as is since they follow the page numbering rule.\n4.

        "content_text": "#1 \n\nIn Tasmania, in connection with the direction of Public Works, I may write with cognizance of Facts that I doubted the power of Mr Moorsom to carry on the duties of his Department satisfactorily to himself and to that of the Government he serves when deprived of the services of an Assistant Surveyor. At once I foresaw that on the departure of Lieutenant Buckle a compensative allowance would have to be granted to the Survey Department who, before the retirement of Lieutenant Buckle had already applied for and obtained in Mr. Bake the assistance of a competent Draftsman, and \n\nI presume, if I may be permitted to do so, to observe for the Lieutenant Governor's consideration that however efficient Mr. Duke may be in his special capacity of Draftsman, he cannot be expected to undertake out-of-door work; for he is not an Engineer, nor is he an Architect, Road-Maker; consequently his position of Draftsman in the Survey Department could not, in any way, I respectfully submit, call for the abolition of the Office of Assistant Surveyor. I am therefore prepared to vote for the Salary it is contemplated to apportion to an Officer of the Royal Engineers.",

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

Treasury to inform you that they have given their best consideration to the corres- pondence enclosed in your letter of 16th June, 1874, in which the different bodies representing the Banking and Mercantile community of Hong Kong expressed their views upon a reform of the currency of that settlement; but that they have delayed their reply to the Secretary of State, until they should have had before them the information for which they asked in their letter of 28th November dealing with the issue of one dollar notes by The Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank. \n\nThat information is contained in the despatch from the Officer administer- ing the Government of Hong Kong, dated 10th June last, and enclosed in your letter of 17th August, and my Lords are now in a position to make known to the Secretary of State the conclusions at which they have arrived, after care- fully weighing the various proposals submitted to Her Majesty's Government. \n\nThe currency of Hong Kong is regulated by the Order in Council bearing date 9th January, 1863, which ordained that the dollar of Mexico, or other silver dollar of equivalent value, was to be the sole legal tender of payment in the Colony (subsidiary coins to a limited extent excepted). \n\nOn the 9th December, 1873, the acting manager of the Oriental Bank, writing in the name of the bank, requested the Governor to consider the advisability of proclaiming, under the power conferred upon him by the said Order in Council, and its attendant proclamation, the Japanese Yen, and the United States Trade Dollar to be legal tender. \n\nIle stated, in support of his request :-- \n\n(1) That the supplies obtainable from the mints of Mexico have been very uncertain, that the weight, fineness, and pattern of the Mexican dollar have been frequently altered, and that the Mexican Govern- ment may, at any time and without warning, adopt measures which would limit the supply of dollars circulating in Hong Kong, and thus seriously affect our commerce in the East. \n\n(2) That the Japanese Government is in a position to coin \"on an exten- sive scale, and in a perfectly reliable manner\"; that the operations of the Japanese miut are conducted by a carefully chosen staff of foreign officials; that the director, Major Kinder, was the gentleman formerly selected by Her Majesty's Government to superintend the mint in Hong Kong; and that the silver dollar of Japan, known as the Yen, is the counterpart of the Hong Kong dollar both in weight and fineness. \n\n(3) That the Congress of the United States had authorised the Mint of San Francisco to issue the coin known as the Trade dollar, which is \n\n9663/74. \n\n15490/74. \n\n12999/76. \n\nin \n\nof the same fineness as, but somewhat heavier than, the Hong Kong dollar \n\n*The Hong Kong dollar, and that the Trade dollar had been proclaimed legal tender in cally, the ine \n\nwas, practi- Canton by the Viceroy. \n\nweight and fineness Sir Arthur Kennedy, \n\n88 the Mexican, on the receipt of this letter, judiciously communi- cated Mr. Cameron's request to the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce, and to the Local Banks, in order to ascertain the views of all the bodies practically acquainted with the monetary requirements of the Colony, and therefore best entitled to express an opinion upon the subject. \n\nd'Escompte. \n\n2.

Par eux, on avait appris que le peuple tonkinois, malgré notre premier abandon, avait encore en nous toutes ses espérances; que lors de sa dernière révolte contre l'oppresseur, il avait arboré le drapeau de la France, qu'il nous appelait de tous ses vœux, prêt à se donner à nous, si nous le délivrions du joug détesté de l'Annam. Ce fait, si heureux pour nous, cette confiance des Tonkinois, il était en effet impossible de le méconnaître, et la presse étrangère elle-même le proclamait dans tous ces parages, en invitant la France à accomplir l'œuvre de délivrance et de civilisation à laquelle étaient intéressées toutes les nations.\n\nCependant des événements qui se sont succédé sur un théâtre plus rapproché captivèrent un moment l'attention et le Tonkin eût été à peu près oublié si le Gouvernement n'eût demandé, en juillet 1881, un crédit de deux millions quatre cent mille francs, pour faire construire des bâtiments d'un type spécial, destinés à naviguer dans le fleuve Rouge et à détruire la piraterie dans les rivières et sur les côtes du Tonkin.\n\nLa marine n'employa pas ce crédit avec une suffisante activité, et en 1882 les pirates du haut du fleuve, connus sous le nom de pavillons noirs, se livrèrent à de telles déprédations et devinrent si arrogants, que le gouverneur de Cochinchine crut devoir renforcer la petite garde qui se trouvait à Hanoï pour assurer la sécurité de notre consul et des Européens. Le chef de cette petite expédition fut amené, peu après son arrivée dans la capitale du Tonkin, à s'emparer de la citadelle, qui a été à peu près démantelée. Cet événement produisit en France une certaine émotion; des nouvelles souvent inexactes, toujours exagérées, firent croire qu'il pouvait se produire quelques dangers pour nos nationaux. Lors de la discussion du budget, le Ministre de la Marine, l'amiral Jaureguiberry, annonçait le dépôt prochain d'un projet de loi, portant ouverture des crédits qu'il jugeait nécessaires pour mener à bien notre action au Tonkin.\n\nPage 5\n\nNo 1889\n\nOn sait ce qu'il en advint; des désaccords se produisirent, dit-on, au sein du Gouvernement et le dépôt du projet n'eut jamais lieu.\n\nUne demande d'interpellation déposée par le député de la Cochinchine fut renvoyée à la session suivante, par suite de la maladie des deux Ministres intéressés, par suite surtout de cette considération qu'un renfort de 750 hommes parti par la Corrèze éloignait tout danger immédiat.\n\nOn sait les circonstances qui empêchèrent tout d'abord l'affaire du Tonkin de venir à l'ordre du jour. Le Ministère Duclere fut remplacé par le Ministère Fallières et celui-ci par le Ministère actuel, avant que la question pût venir en discussion.\n\nMais les événements avaient marché, c'était bien facile à prévoir. Le 27 décembre, lorsque la Chambre remit à la session de janvier la discussion de l'interpellation, elle fut bien avertie, en effet, qu'il était fort à craindre qu'elle se trouvât plus tard en présence d'un fait accompli. Cette crainte s'est en partie réalisée. Des faits se sont succédé dont l'importance n'échappera à personne. Les troupes de renfort portées par la Corrèze ont été dans la nécessité de s'emparer d'Hong-Hay, dans la baie d'Alung. Notre consul à Hué, le commandant Rheinart, a amené son pavillon et s'est retiré avec sa suite; son action était devenue inutile et il y aurait eu danger, sans profit possible, à demeurer sans défense, au milieu d'une population qui pouvait facilement devenir violente.\n\nD'un autre côté, le commandant Rivière avait été obligé de s'emparer de la citadelle de Nam-Dinh, sur le Bobé (branche méridionale du fleuve Rouge), afin de conserver la libre circulation du fleuve et de protéger ses communications de\n\n2",

The captain pleaded that he was ignorant of the port not being an open one, and as he required about 10,000 piculs to complete his loading, would the officer grant him three days further time? He said, he had no authority to grant the request. The Captain went to see the Commander on the \"Lion\" who also declined to grant him further time than until four o'clock in the afternoon, it being impossible to have the engines ready by noon.\n\nHe also made the following entry in French in the official log-book: \n\n\"Le Commandant de la Canonnière française 'La Lion' a signifié le 8 Octobre 1885 au capitaine du vapeur anglais 'Galveston' que le port de Ton-coke n'étant pas ouvert au commerce étranger, il devrait appareiller de cette baie dans la journée.

        "content_text": "150\n\nversion. Against this debt must be set the sum of £1,594, already contributed to the new Sinking Fund, and the unexpended balance of the Loan which, on the 31st August last, stood at £43,139.\n\nThe relief afforded by the Loan soon produced visible results. At the end of 1894, our balances in hand amounted to no less than $450,000, and my early-expressed hopes seemed destined to be fulfilled. It was not, however, within the power of human foresight to contemplate the exceptional circumstances which intervened at this juncture, and which absorbed the entire amount of our credit balances. The Plague of 1894 and its recrudescence in 1896 has cost this Colony—directly and indirectly—nearly $1,200,000, not to mention the large increase in the cost of the Sanitary Department, and the expenditure on various sanitary improvements. Then again, the dollar has depreciated in value nearly 100 per cent, and our sterling payments have increased proportionately. It was not therefore a matter for surprise that at the end of 1895 our balances of $450,000, in addition to the ordinary surplus for the year, had been wholly expended, and that a debit balance of $171,908 was carried forward to the 1896 account. It is, however, a matter for congratulation that that debit balance was wiped out during the year, and that at the beginning of 1897 a balance of $13,400 stood to our credit, and that, notwithstanding the Government contribution to the Jubilee Fund, there is every reasonable prospect of the accounts for the year 1898 opening with a balance on the right side.\n\nAnd now, Gentlemen, my statement in regard to the financial position has been necessarily somewhat long, but it will, I venture to hope, be regarded as most satisfactory taking into consideration all the opposing circumstances to which I have referred. I have endeavoured to fulfil my promises to avoid all \"harassing and embarrassing\" legislation, and to effect economy. The fulfilment of the former will be recognised in the way in which the Estimate of Revenue for 1898 has been framed, and of the latter in the retrenchment which has been generally effected throughout the Service. I think it right, however, to state that, in my opinion, certain posts in the Civil Service are insufficiently paid, especially when compared with similar appointments in other Colonies. I trust it will be possible to remedy this defect, and thus retain in Hongkong the services of experienced officers who might otherwise accept a transfer to Colonies where they would be more highly remunerated.\n\nWhile on this subject I desire to avail myself of this opportunity to acknowledge the great assistance I have received during my Government from all branches of the Civil Service, and to express my appreciation of the loyal manner in which they have co-operated with me in furthering the interests of the Colony.\n\nI have every reason to adhere to my confidence in the resources of Hongkong and its financial soundness. A handsome advance has been secured on the price at present paid for the Opium Farm, and I wish I could look forward with equal certainty to a rise in the sterling value of the dollar.\n\nAs regards the events of the year, with one exception to which I shall refer later, there is but little to record. The Captain Superintendent of Police, reports a period of comparative peace. There are, however, two noteworthy items of \"Police news\" to which I may refer. The first is the placing of District Watchmen on Police beats under the supervision of Europeans between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., thus re-inforcing the Police by forty auxiliaries of a very useful stamp.\n\nThe arrangement has so far worked satisfactorily, and it is hoped that the additional protection thus afforded will tend to reduce the number of armed gang robberies, which are only too frequent in the winter months. The other innovation is the withdrawal of the Night Pass and Light Regulations. Night Passes were first introduced in 1857, when, no doubt, good reasons existed for such a stringent measure.\n\nIn this present year of grace, however, such restrictions cannot but be regarded as a relic of a barbarous past and inconsistent, in these enlightened times, with the liberty of the subject. Results have justified the repeal of these Regulations, and I am sure the relief has been fully appreciated by the respectable Chinese.\n\nAnd here, I must refer with great regret to the grave irregularities which have recently been shown to exist in the Police Force and in other Departments of the Government Service amongst the subordinate officers. You are aware of the action taken by the Government in this matter, and I believe that it has been guided to a proper course. I fear there can be no doubt that these irregularities have been in existence for very many years. That they have now been brought to light, and that stringent measures have been taken to put an end to them must ultimately conduce to a better state of things in the future.\n\nAs regards the Public Health, I can give you an exceptionally favourable report, which may, to some extent, compensate for the large amount of Sanitary Legislation which has of late years fallen upon us. There have been only 17 cases of Plague during the year, several of which are said to have been imported from the mainland. This is very satisfactory when it is remembered that the disease was prevalent in the neighbouring ports of Amoy and Swatow, and in the island of Formosa for several months. The comparative immunity from Plague enjoyed by Hongkong during 1897 may be due to the improved sanitary condition of the Colony and the increased vigilance of the Sanitary Board.\n\nThe death rate of the British and Foreign community for the first 9 months of the Year is 21.5 per thousand as compared with 23.6 for the corresponding period of 1891, whilst the death rate amongst the Chinese community for the like periods has been reduced from 26.9 per 1,000 to 18.9 per 1,000. This represents an annual saving of nearly 2,000 Chinese lives and about 17 European.\n\nThe main drainage has been, practically, completely re-modelled. Thirty-six miles of sewers have been laid, not including the drains constructed in connection with the re-drainage of houses, which would nearly double those figures. I am informed that Victoria may now be regarded as one of the best drained cities east of Suez, and that its domestic sanitation will compare favourably with that of any of the large cities in England.\n\nBye-laws have been made for the compulsory concreting of ground floors in dwellings, for the prevention of overcrowding, for the regulation of bake-houses, laundries, opium-smoking divans, offensive trades, and animal depôts, for the regular periodical cleansing of tenement dwellings, and for the notification of communicable diseases, and these are being quietly and steadily enforced.\n\nThe New Central Market, the Slaughter-houses and adjoining Cattle Depôts at Kennedy Town and Kowloon which have an important bearing on the food supply of the Colony have been completed during my administration, whilst the water supply, which is of vital importance to the health of the community, has been increased to 100,000,000 gallons, and extended to the Kowloon Peninsula, and to the populous villages of Shaukiwan and Aberdeen.\n\nThe most noticeable features in the history of Education during my term of office have been—(1) the revision of the Grant-in-Aid Code in 1893, which added arithmetic to the subjects for which grants should be given to schools giving a purely Chinese education, elementary science in the case of schools giving a European education in the Chinese language, and a seventh standard in all classes of schools. (2) The graduating of two pupils in July, 1892, from the Chinese College of Medicine, being the first two graduates from that Institution. (3) The opening of the Belilios Public School for Girls in December, 1893, for which we have to thank the generosity of an Honourable Member of this Council; and (4) The limitation in November, 1895, of grants-in-aid to schools giving a European education in the English language—a measure which was induced by the very marked deficiency in this respect on the part of the Chinese community resident in this Colony, and the necessity recognised from the experiences of 1894 of providing a more enlightened education. I trust that this policy will be maintained, and that a training institution, which will furnish a supply of qualified teachers and so place the means of acquiring a useful knowledge of the English language and Western ideas within the reach of the poorer classes of the Chinese community may be provided. I consider that such expenditure will be incurred in a most important cause, and I commend to the notice of the Council the desirability of increasing the Grant-in-Aid Vote, and of continuing to substitute subsidised schools for the Government schools that still remain in existence.",

        "content_text": "# SCHEDULE A\n\nOn the 27th day of September, 1897, appeared before me Yeung Fat who, after the following statement had been interpreted to him, declared that the contents were true.\n\n**YEUNG FAT states:-** I am ex detective P.C. 319 of the Hongkong Police Force.\n\nAt 4:30 p.m. on the 12th July last, I was sent by Inspector Stanton to see Captain Superintendent May. I went to his office with ex detective-Sergeant 190, Tang Chung. The Captain Superintendent beckoned us to follow him. We both followed him into gaol where we were stripped of all our clothing except our trousers and searched by a warder. We then put on our clothing and I was taken to a dark cell on the ground floor, and locked up. Up till then nothing was said as to why or for what purpose I was thus treated. I asked the warder who locked me up, for what offence I was locked up. He answered \"I do not know: it is the business of the Superintendent of the Gaol, Mr. May. He told me to lock you up.\" I said \"If I had committed any offence, I should be placed on the charge sheet or there should be a warrant shown to me and explained.\" He replied \"I do not know; it is Mr. May's orders.\" I said \"I have been a policeman ten years and arrested numerous persons, but never saw anything like this before.\" The cell I was put in was about 7 feet by a little over 4 feet. It was dark, the only light was what came through a window about 17 inches by 7 inches. The cell was swarming with bugs. I told the warder I had not had any dinner and he said there was none for me. I had been on duty at the Bank that day and had had nothing to eat after 8:30 a.m.\n\nAt 11 p.m., still having had nothing to eat, I was taken out by the receiving officer who took me up into the Gaol Superintendent's Office where I saw Mr. May, Mr. Dennys and an interpreter named Sung Sing. I asked for what offence I was locked up. Mr. May and Mr. Dennys both laughed and said \"Don't you know? It is because of that gambling matter.\" I said \"I do not know about the gambling.\" Mr. May said \"The Governor has issued an order to banish you, because you have collected money from gambling houses for Inspector Stanton, Inspector Baker and Inspector Hennessy.\" I replied \"I have not collected any such money.\" Mr. Dennys said \"If you do not acknowledge it your name is down as an intermediary in the matter.\" Mr. Dennys then asked my name, age, how long I had been a lukang, my native place and what family I have. He also asked whose orders I was under and I told him Inspector Stanton's and Inspector Quincey's. He asked if I knew Wa Lane. I said \"I have often seen Inspectors arresting gamblers there.\" I told him I did. He said \"Did you know there was gambling there.\" He asked if I knew Cheung Hing Street. I told him I did. He asked if I knew there was gambling there, and I told him no. He said \"The houses have been opened two or three years and you do not know it. Have you never heard there was gambling there?\" I replied \"Yes, I have often heard of the houses being broken by Police, but do not know which houses. I am in charge of No. 6 section, and these houses are not on my section. They are in No. 7 section.\"\n\nI was then sent back to the same cell.\n\nAt 2 p.m. on the 14th, two days after my arrest, I was again taken to the Gaol Superintendent's office where I saw Mr. May, Mr. Dennys, Mr. Brewin, and the solicitor Mr. Ewens' clerk Sin Tak-fan. Mr. Sin Tak-fan said to me \"Now your friends have employed Mr. Ewens to attend to your case; if you know about that affair then speak out, and say so. If you do not know, do not say you do, no one can compel you to speak.\" I replied \"I do not know.\" He said \"The Governor has issued an order to banish you for five years.\" I said \"I have property here to look after and there will be no one to look after it.\" Mr. Dennys told me I could hand over that to a lawyer to attend to.\n\nMr. May and Sin Tak-fan then went downstairs together and in ten minutes returned. Then I was taken downstairs with Sin Tak-fan and into a room, the chief warder standing by. Sin Tak-fan said \"Mr. May told me to tell you that if you will tell him all and give evidence, what Inspectors receive gambling money, he will not banish you, but will reinstate you in your position and you will be able to look after your business yourself. He does not care about your mentioning anything about the Chinese. He looks on them as sesamum seeds and green beans (that is, of no importance), he wishes you to tell him about the English and the Inspectors.\" I replied \"I know nothing about it and cannot give evidence against any one.\" Sin Tak-fan then took me back up into the office and I said, \"If I am to be banished, banish me soon, for I am sick now.\" Sin Tak-fan interpreted that to Mr. May and Mr. Dennys. I was then taken back to the dark cell. Soon after I was removed to a big light cell on the first floor.\n\nThe same evening, 14th July at 7 or 8 p.m. I was taken to the office before Mr. May and Mr. Dennys. Sung Sing was there as interpreter. Mr. May said \"Although there is an order to banish you the Governor can cancel it, and instead of banishing you, you can be sent before the Supreme Court, where your own evidence may be used against you and you may be sentenced to three years' imprisonment.\" He then said, \"Do you know Sham Cha?\" I replied, \"Yes, he keeps a druggist shop.\" He said, \"Is he not a gambling master?\" I said, \"I do not know, I only know him as the master of a shop.\" He said, \"Do you know Cheung Hoi?\" I said, \"Yes.\" He said, \"What is he?\" I said, \"He keeps a coffin shop.\" He said, \"Has he not a share in a gambling house?\" I replied, \"I do not know.\" He then asked, \"Do you know Lam Chi?\" I replied, \"There are many of that name.\" He said, \"Tai Pau Chi, is he not a gambling master?\" I replied, \"I do not know, I have heard he is.\" He said, \"There is a proof paper with names of Stanton, Hennessy, and Baker, with yours as go-between, unless you confess, it will not do.\" I replied \"Perhaps somebody desires to injure me, or to cheat the masters, and put my name down.\" I was then sent back to the cell.\n\nIn the forenoon of the 15th I was taken to the office. Mr. May and Mr. Dennys were there with Sung Sing as interpreter. Mr. May said, \"I do not wish to trouble you, but there is evidence against you on this paper.\" He produced a paper which he did not permit me to read. He said, \"If you will tell me about Inspector Stanton, Inspector Hennessy, and Inspector Baker, I will get your banishment cancelled and reinstate you.\" I replied \"I know nothing about gambling money. Who has handed the money to me?\" Mr. May then went into another room, and in about three minutes brought out Sham In. Sham In said, \"You confess, your name is there.\" Mr. Dennys said, \"Is that Yeung Fat?\" Sham In said, \"Yes.\" Mr. Dennys told him to speak out. He said \"He (referring to me) went to 3, East Street every five days to receive from me $1.00 a day for Inspector Hennessy.\" Mr. Dennys said, \"There he fixes you.\" I replied, \"He is an enemy of mine.\" Mr. Dennys said \"What enemy.\" I said \"I had a quarrel with him in the fifth month of last year.\" Sham In said he (Sham In) went home at that time, because his father died on the 9th day of the 5th month. I was then sent back to the cell.\n\nIn the afternoon, I was taken out to see Mr. Ewens, the solicitor, and Sin Tak-fan. They told me the Governor was going to banish me. I was sent away to Canton the following day, the 16th July. The banishment order was shown to me for the first time in the charge room on the afternoon of the day I was banished. On each occasion I was before Mr. May and Mr. Dennys, my statements denying all knowledge of this bribery by gamblers was taken down by Mr. Dennys. I still deny all knowledge of the matter.\n\nOn the 14th day of the 7th Chinese month (11th August, 1897) P.C. 143 Au Hing visited me in Macao. He told me Mr. May and Mr. Francis had sent him to look for me to go to Hongkong to explain to them about Inspector Stanton, Inspector Baker, and others, and then I would be allowed to reside in Hongkong and be reinstated in the Police. He said, \"If you go, Inspector Stanton will be dismissed, and if you do not go, he will be dismissed, but if you go and give evidence against him, he will not be able to say anything; his mouth will be closed. If you think it will not look well to give evidence against him, you need not go before any Court; you can write and say when you will go to Hongkong and some one will meet you on the steamer and take you to Mr. Francis' office, where he will take down your statement.\" He told me he had been banished, but his wife paid over $100 to Mr. Francis, the barrister, to speak for him to Mr. May and get the order cancelled, but he was not yet reinstated. He further said \"If you do not wish to go to Hongkong, write down a...",

        "content_text": "COPY.\n\n581\n\nDouble Trolley System. Electric railways have led to many controversies between telephone and railway companies, and many devices have been proposed as a means of preventing or removing the difficulty. The most important of the plans for preventing the interference are: 1st. Change of the railway system to double trolley, or complete metallic circuit without ground connection. Undoubtedly, the use of the double trolley system would prevent any material disturbance to the telephone, as there is no connection of the railway circuit with the earth, except by accident, and the two wires run side by side and near together, thus avoiding any appreciable amount of induction. The leading railways constructing companies refuse to adapt the system, saying that it is not practicable except in very simple cases, and that in the case referred to, in Cincinnati, the road presents such simple conditions of engineering that for that reason only it is possible to operate the system successfully there.\n\nStatutory Rules and Orders, 1895.\n\n\"These disturbances to the telephone from the tramway clauses.\n\nTramway and Light Railway, Ireland, quote two clauses.\n\n(1.) The promoters shall construct their electric lines and other works of all descriptions, and shall work their undertaking in all respects with due regard to the telegraphic lines from time to time used or intended to be used by Her Majesty's Postmaster-General, and the currents in such telegraphic lines, and shall use every reasonable means in the construction of their electrical lines and other works of all descriptions, and the working of their undertaking, to prevent injurious affection, whether by induction or otherwise, to such telegraphic lines, or the currents therein. If any question arises as to whether the promoters have constructed their electric lines or other works, or work their undertaking in contravention of this sub-section, such question shall be determined by arbitration, and the promoters shall be bound to make any alterations in or additions to their system which may be directed by the arbitrator.\n\n(5) For the purpose of this section, a telegraph line of the Postmaster-General shall be deemed to be injuriously affected by an act or work if the telegraphic communication by means of such line is, whether through induction or otherwise, in any manner affected by such act or work, or by any use made of such work.\n\nIr. Bake of the Indian Government Telegraphs on Disturbances from Electric Tramways. Proc. Inst. Elec. Engrs. May 1897.\n\nThe main point which may be of interest to many here, for I think it is rather a controversial matter, is that the Tramway Company had to reimburse the Eastern Extension Cable Companies for the cost of making this alteration.\n\nThe",

As to the bake Government, the Froth says that they bore the expense of doubling the track but the Dickinson explains that they only did this by arrangement with the Tramways Co, who might have been compelled to bear the expense, but who agreed, instead, to let the Government have certain tramway poles for Telegraph wires on the understanding that the Co would be let off the said expense. I cannot see any reason why the Hong Kong Govt like the G.O. in England should not get the same protection which is afforded the Telegraph Co, although the Soof Line's are, at present, worked by the Telegraph Co.\n\nClause 21 of the Bill would not suffice to protect the Loong Lines as plan \"B\" attached here shows that the Govt. wires are close to the new tramways. A clause similar to clause 21 should be inserted to protect Telegraph and Telephone Lines belonging to any Department as defined in clause 2.\n\n[4...] \nIn your opinion, no other amendment of the law is required, we might instruct the Governor as to this amendment, by telegraph, and inform him that the law, as thus amended, may be passed.\n\n*L(3) — 48569-8000-8-01 \nAs to the Telephone Co, Mr Frotter's first report is unsatisfactory because it does not say what amount between £1000 and £8000 would be reasonable. Inform that Co in reply to 43745 that the memo left with Mr Lucas by one of their Directors was referred to the Bd. of Trade whose adviser reports [quote Mr Frotter's memo of Dec. 23] and ask whether they are prepared to accept the offer of the Tramways Co (in 1194) to pay them £1500 in the event of their not obtaining the concession which they desire from the Govt of Hong Kong. The question of whether this concession will be granted is referred to you.\n\nAs to Mr Frotter's second report, inform Messrs Dickinson & Co that those revised specifications are reported by the Bd. of Trade's adviser to describe the equipment of an electric tramway well adapted for Hong Kong but query as to certain amendments.\n\nI ask them for a copy of the vol for transmission to Govt of Hong Kong, returning the specifications & drawings which they left at this office some time ago.\n\nWill you say whether you have any objection to other clauses in the Bill. \n# \n43 745 × 1194 \n476 \n43745 \nXCR(85)72 \nGR1178/1922/32(III)",

Some of these are now so large that there is only room for four buoys where five are at present situated, and unless more room can be found, one buoy must be removed. Messrs. Butterfield and Swire are one of the firms affected, and if the readjustment of the boundaries of the Man-of-War Anchorage suggested by me in paragraph 6 of my Despatch No. 410 of the 27th August last could be effected, the necessary relief for the present congestion would be found, and some of the steamers of that firm could be moored opposite the firm's godowns.\n\nThe steady increase in the shipping of the port, and especially the increase in the size of the steamers, is tending to make the question of moorings an acute one. I hope, therefore, that my suggestion made\n\nThe Right Honourable  \nAlfred Lyttelton, M.P.  \n...&c.  \n...&c.  \nRcc.*  \n...&c.",

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

        "content_text": "# \npectinct from daily Press of 19th October 1907\n\n## \n\nbe lost in bringing the scheme to perfection by erecting this adjunct. Having reached this stage, it was hoped that the fulfilment of the scheme for the Hospital would proceed without impediment. The plans and estimates had been prepared by Messrs. Palmer and Turner, whose original design was considered first in order of merit in the competition which had been held for a building in the Civil Hospital Grounds; but when tenders were invited they proved so far in excess of the estimates that it seemed impossible to proceed further. After much trouble, a tender was finally obtained at a rate within the funds at the disposal of the Committee, and the work has now, as you see, been successfully completed. The total expenditure upon the Hospital and quarters has been $11,891.05, and with the interest which has accrued on the principal, we have been enabled practically to meet this sum. There have, however, been some extras incurred—as is the case in every large building—which you, Sir, have kindly undertaken, on the part of the Government, to defray, our funds being absolutely exhausted.\n\nTurning now to the Road, as I have already stated, one-half of the Fund, amounting to $92,190.69, was allotted for its construction. A considerable period was spent in the making of surveys and preparation of estimates, which were carried out by the Public Works Department, under the guidance of the late Director, Mr. R. D. Ormsby, the work extending from Kennedy Town via Aberdeen, Stanley, and Tytam Tuk to Shaukiwan. When this preliminary work had been completed, Mr. Ormsby reported very unfavourably upon the section of the road which it was proposed to make out of the Fund, namely that from Kennedy Town to Aberdeen, whilst Major-General Black, then General Officer Commanding, raised serious objection to its construction on military grounds. Several ineffectual attempts were made locally to overcome the opposition to the scheme, and finally an appeal to Downing Street on the subject became necessary. This appeal was successful, but the sanction for the construction of the road was hampered in its being laid on a higher level than was originally intended. The carrying out of this scheme was entrusted to Messrs. Denison, Ram, and Gibbs, who devised a suitable route for the road, and tenders were received which came within the means apportioned to it, and the work has been satisfactorily concluded.\n\nHaving thus contributed this section of the Jubilee Road, we now look to the Government to take in hand the completion of the project for a high road that will practically encircle the island, opening up all its many beauties to lovers of scenery and of nature. The total cost of these two works has been $231,163.32, and I may here point out that the delays entailed by the various difficulties encountered have not been without some compensating advantages, inasmuch as the interest accumulated on the Fund materially augmented our resources and has permitted of the original proposals being carried out in a substantial and workmanlike manner.\n\nHaving now stated in outline the history of these two Memorial works, it only remains for me to ask your Excellency to be good enough to declare the Hospital open, to effect which purpose I beg to hand you this silver key. (Applause.)\n\n## \n\nHIS EXCELLENCY, having accepted the key, said—Sir Paul Chater, ladies and gentlemen, I have listened with great interest to your account of the Road and the Hospital that were rightly decided upon as a fitting memorial of that beloved Queen whose memory will always remain green in our hearts and whose name will go down the ages as the greatest amongst the great Queens of history. The difficulties about the Jubilee Road I remember very well. When I came here first, the foundation-stone had just been laid by my predecessor in the presence of a considerable crowd, among them, no doubt, the General Officer Commanding, who instead of opposing the Governor's trowel with his sword—slaying the masons, and carrying away the bottle with the newspapers—placed there for the enlightenment of future archæologists, returned to his quarters, took up the mightier weapon, and wrote that the road was a military danger and must not be. Then I remember the time when the controversy arose whether the road should go by Shaukiwan or by Kennedy Town. The Government, who, as we know, subscribed half the funds, were rather inclined to favour the Shaukiwan Road, which would have given a driving road for about 20 miles. But the Committee were very firm and absolutely declined to have that road from Shaukiwan.\n\nOf course, I need hardly tell you that with their pertinacity they succeeded in dominating the Government on that point. The argument on the one side was that you would have a driving road round the island. On the other side, it was said you would have a road round Mount Davis on which the Chinese would come out in the afternoons and would be seen there in crowds enjoying the lazy south-western breezes laden with the odours of Cheung Chow. (Laughter.) The real secret of the Committee's determination was never openly stated. I do not know how it got about. It may have been that one of the Committee was, like Cassius, lean of soul, and in his sleep did mutter his affairs. (Laughter.) The real secret, I believe, was that the Committee said the Government have undertaken to finish this road and it will take up all the money we have to make this small bit round Mount Davis, and if we do not spend it on that difficult piece of road, we will never see it done.\n\nNow we have a very good 16-feet road there at present. So far as we can see, it appears to be principally for the purpose of affording an opportunity to the Dairy Farm of sending their milk by the higher and lower levels. It has been completed in part at such a level as would probably shorten the wind of any assailant who attempted to take the island that side and leave him an easy victim of the Volunteers or other defenders of that section. (Laughter.) It is true that with the persevering determination that characterises everything in Hongkong, portions of the road after the heavy rains attempted bodily to convey themselves to the sea level, but they were coaxed back into position by Messrs. Denison and Ram, and now it is a good road, and I hope it will be availed of by a large number of people and ultimately will be completed round the island, when I hope it will satisfy all the conditions that were intended.\n\nAnd now, Sir Paul Chater, and ladies and gentlemen, as regards the Hospital: this is a work, I think, against which no caviller could say one word, and I look forward with great pleasure to the unique opportunity of turning the key in the entrance-door of a building 1,000 feet above the foundation stone which was laid, I believe, originally near the Government Civil Hospital. (Laughter.) This building, with its 41 beds, and situated as it is above the vitiated atmosphere of the crowded city, must be, I am sure, a blessing in the future to the poor people who will be accommodated here. It is a fitting memorial to our late beloved Queen, and I am sure we will all join in wishing it God-speed. I have great pleasure in declaring that it is well and duly opened. (Applause.)\n\nThe company entered the Hospital and His Excellency then turned the key in the entrance-door and inspected it.\n\nRefreshments were afterwards served.\n\nPage 12\nPage 20",

Ommanney's telegram of the 8th ultimo and of his Despatch No. 373 of the 9th idem on the subject of the boundary between the Naval and War Department Property and the proposed Praya East Reclamation.\n\n2. I regret that on behalf of this Colony and of the Marine Lotholders, whose interests are very seriously involved, I am unable to accept the proposals of the two Departments mentioned, and I venture to think that when I have placed you in possession of the facts and arguments, which I shall proceed to detail, you will agree with me that the proposals made by this Government and accepted by the representatives on the spot of the two Imperial Departments concerned are equitable and reasonable and worthy of acceptance.\n\n3. It is stated in the 3rd paragraph of the Despatch under acknowledgment that the present boundaries of \"the Admiralty and War Office Reclamations were agreed to many years ago by the Colonial Government, and are already being constructed so that they cannot now be re-considered\". As far as the Eastern boundary of the Reclamations is concerned, there is a mistake in the above statement.\n\nalthough it appears fr. par. 8 of this despatch that the top of the slope as actually constructed extends to the thin blue line on that plan. As therefore the proposals of the Bol. Gool, in wh Air 6. Bridge Maj. Gen. Jascoigne concurred, involved a very slight projection beyond the continuation in a straight line of the eastern boundary of the W. D.

That plan shows the Eastern boundary that was accepted by this Government. In making the Reclamations it was, however, not adhered to. Subsequently when by direction conveyed in Mr. Secretary Chamberlain's Despatch No. 406 of the 5th December, 1901, the question of enacting an Ordinance legalizing these Reclamations was taken into consideration, a plan (marked B), of which a copy is enclosed, was forwarded by the Secretary to the Commodore as the plan to be attached to the Bill.

In measuring the respective frontages their sinuosities have been disregarded and only what may be termed the proper frontage has been taken. It will be seen from the plan that even if the boundary referred to in (c) be adopted the extent of the Admiralty and War Department frontage will be increased from 2,350 to 2,430 feet, whilst the Marine Lot-holders' frontage will be reduced from 6,820 to 5,610 feet, or by fully one-sixth of its length. If the boundary referred to in (a) be taken the former will be increased from 2,350 to 2,520 feet, whilst the latter will be reduced from 6,820 to 5,520 feet or by nearly one-fifth of its length.\n\n5. It is clearly shown by the plan that the Admiralty and War Department have encroached beyond the approved boundaries. They now appear to be attempting to adhere to this encroachment and to establish a claim to an area to which they are in no way entitled. On the other hand the plan demonstrates that the Marine Lot-holders would suffer a very heavy loss of frontage by the present proposal.\n\n6. The principle that the Colonial Government contend for is no new one. In demanding originally a boundary line to the Westward of the one (c) which it is now prepared to...",

(`Vide` plan C.)\n\n1 \n\nThe compromise arranged at the conference which I had with Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge and Major-General Gascoigne was for the purpose of facilitating a settlement of the matter and was not based on any admission that the principle which the Colonial Government contended for was wrong.\n\n7.\n\nIn paragraph 3 of the Despatch under acknowledgment, it is admitted that the dictum that the proper direction for the boundary of any Reclamation should be at right angles to the existing water frontage does not apply literally in cases where the existing water frontage is not a straight line. In such cases, Sir Montagu Ommanney states the matter would, as a general rule, be compromised by drawing the boundary between the extended frontages so as to bisect the angle between the existing frontages.\n\nThe boundary which the Colonial Government now contends for is approximately the line which would result by adopting that principle in the present case.\n\nThe difficulty that has arisen in this matter",

I have shown that the existing boundaries of the Admiralty and War Department Reclamations were not agreed to by this Government, and I cannot on behalf of the Colony and in justice to the Marine Lot holders accept the contention that the boundary of the War Department Reclamation should be drawn at right angles to the Eastern Praya since such a line would very seriously injure the Marine Lot holders and the Colonial Government.\n\n## 8.\n\nTurning now to the stipulation that if the Western boundary of the proposed Praya East Reclamation is to be constructed in the form of a rubble slope the line of boundary must be taken at the toe of the slope instead of at coping level, I would point out that it has apparently been made in ignorance of the fact that in the Admiralty and War Department Reclamations the line of boundary has been taken at coping level. The line edged in blue on plan C enclosed shows, as already explained, the approved boundaries, while the plain blue line shows the top of the slope as actually constructed.\n\nIf then the stipulation which it is sought to apply to the Praya East Reclamation were adopted it would be necessary, on the same principle, for the Colonial Government to call upon the Admiralty and War Department to remove the encroachment which the rubble slope projected beyond the plain blue line, constitutes.\n\n## 9.\n\nI submit that in this matter the contention of the Imperial Departments is not equitable to the Marine Lot holders",

For No. 9, which was enclosed with the letter above, referred to a plan that had escaped notice. The written notice of the agreement in 1899 was not clearly defined as shown on the plan annexed in Admiralty letter of October 26 with `4786/8795`. It did not extend to Arsenal Street but was limited only to the part marked by a thick blue line on the plan.\n\nQueens' proposals were developed as presented in the despatch. At the angle, it appears from this despatch and from the plan, the seawall, as actually constructed, extends to the point marked with a thin blue line on that plan.\n\n3. As therefore Singapore's proposals of the Colonel, for which Cyprian Bridge and Sir W. J.

Survey of Ships under the Chinese Passengers' Acts\n\nSurveys made within Office hours.\n\n| Type of Survey | Fee ($) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Ordinary survey of the ship and of her equipments, accommodation, distilling apparatus (if any), stores, light, ventilation, and sanitary arrangements | 40 |\n| Special survey | 50 to 60 |\n\nA special survey is to be deemed to be a survey requiring more than two visits by a Government Surveyor or Surveyors, or a survey in cases in which from age or any other circumstances there are reasonable grounds for doubting the seaworthiness of the vessel. Where the case requires unusual attention and occupies an unusual amount of the Surveyor's time the higher fee of $60 and upwards will be charged, according to the special circumstances of the case and the number of visits made.\n\nWhere a declaration has been granted for a steam-ship under this Ordinance, the survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts will be made on payment of half the usual fee mentioned above.\n\nThe fee paid in accordance with the above scale covers the inspection of the lights and fog signals, and the marking of the vessel, made at the time of survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts. It does not, however, apply to, or include, any inspection of lights, fog signals, or marking, made subsequently to such survey.\n\nThe fee for survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts does not cover any survey of a steam-ship for a Passenger Certificate under this Ordinance, or measurement for tonnage, or inspection of crew spaces.\n\nTravelling expenses (if any) and subsistence expenses (if any) due according to the scale authorized by the Governor will be charged in addition to the fees.\n\n### (3.) Measurement of Tonnage\n\n| Tons (Gross Register) | Fee ($) | Tons (Gross Register) | Fee ($) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Under 50 | 14 | 1,200 to 2,000 | 70 |\n| 50 to 100 | 20 | 2,000 to 3,000 | 80 |\n| 100 to 200 | 30 | 3,000 to 4,000 | 90 |\n| 200 to 500 | 40 | 4,000 to 5,000 | 100 |\n| 500 to 800 | 50 | 5,000 and upwards | 110 |\n| 800 to 1,200 | 60 | ... | ... |\n\n$24 for every additional 300 tons.\n\n### (4.) Inspection of the Berthing or Sleeping Accommodation of the Crew\n\nThe fee to be paid on application for inspection is $6. A further fee of $6 will be charged if more than one visit by the Surveyor is necessary.\n\nThe fees for inspection of crew spaces will not be charged if the inspection is made when the vessel is measured for tonnage, but if a second or third visit is necessary for crew spaces alone a fee of $6 for each visit will be charged.\n\n### (5.) Inspection of Lights and Fog Signals\n\nThe fee to be paid on application for inspection is $6. A further fee of $6 will be charged if more than one visit by the Surveyor is necessary.\n\n### (6.) Inspection of the Marking of Vessels\n\nThe fee for a first visit is $6, and is to cover all expenses except where application is made by owner, when expenses are also to be charged. For any subsequent visit, expenses are to be charged, but no further fee.\n\n### (7.) Inspection of Tracings or Drawings\n\nThe fee to be paid when tracing is submitted for inspection is $30. This fee will not be charged when the full fee for survey under the Merchant Shipping or Chinese Passengers' Act has been paid.\n\n### (8.) Survey of Seaworthiness for Change of Name when directed to be made\n\nFees will be charged in accordance with the scale for a twelve-months' Passenger Certificate (See Scale No. 1, above).\n\n### (9) Recording Change of Name and endorsing Carving Note\n\nFee to be charged when no survey of seaworthiness is made is $10.\n\n### (10.) Survey for Re-registry under Section 54 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894\n\nFee will be charged on the same scale as for change of name. This fee includes the inspection of crew spaces and lights, but does not include measurement for tonnage.\n\n### (11.) Survey of a Vessel before Transfer to a Foreign Flag\n\nThe fee to be charged in cases of survey before transfer to the flag of any other country shall be $50.\n\n### (12.) Minor Inspections, Alteration of Rig, Port of Registry, &c.\n\nA fee of $10 is to be charged in all cases of minor inspections (e.g., alteration of rig, port of registry, description of engines, &c.).\n\n### (13.) For Re-measurement of Passenger Accommodation in any Ship the Passenger Certificate of which is unexpired\n\nA fee of $20.\n\n### (14.) For Surveys of Ships' Bottoms only\n\nHalf the fee for survey of steam-ships for Passenger Certificates.\n\n### (15.) Survey of Boilers\n\n$50.",

I therefore had no lettable value to the Govt.\n\nThe same practically argument applies, as also to the case of the pier referred to in par. 4, which is part of the same work, and it is considered only reasonable that the Admy. and War Dept. should hold the reclaimed area free of premium as those on which they held the land in front of which the reclamation was made, on the same terms. It can hardly be argued that in this way a contribution of over ... to the Imperial Govt. was made, seeing that the water area, which is being reclaimed at the expense of the Imp. Govt., had no letting value to the Colony.\n\nThe proposed extension to the Kowloon Naval Yard.\n\n[The above is the best argument adduced in favour of, against the Govt. on this matter was discussed in minutes `6062/9`. \n\nI can ... our views.\n\nThe whole ... on ... discussed in minutes.",

The land to which I referred in the last paragraph of my Despatch No. 412 of the 20th of August last is the area of foreshore and seabed which by direction conveyed in Mr. Chamberlain's Despatch No. 71 of the 22nd of March, 1898, was transferred free of charge to the Admiralty for future extension (which by the way has not yet taken place) of the Naval Yard at Kowloon. The area is 7 acres in extent and was valued at the time at 30 cents per Square Foot, while neighbouring properties leased to private individuals bear a Crown Rent at the rate of $500 an acre. The premium and Crown Rent capitalised at 25 years purchase works out, therefore, at $178,976.\n\n3. The land in Victoria which I referred to is the area of foreshore and seabed devoted to the Naval Yard Extension and Reclamation in front of the War Department Property.

Commodore Robinson points out that to enable the course of the Torpedoes to be followed and also to allow of communication by signal with the Kowloon Depôt and the Tamar, it is necessary to have access to the higher ground on the point.

        "content_text": "The way in which the whole affair was conducted hands to create a presumption in his favour.\n\nI think he should be punished how... I'm guilty but I submit that the change is not proved by any adequate evidence.\n\nThe notes of Evidence forwarded with Script Holt's story as told in his partition `34787/08`. There is only the evidence of a native policeman who alleged that he handed the bribes to Holt (but who was not prepared to face the music in a court of law); and the fact that Holt made no statement & asked no questions is not inconsistent with his assertion that he thereby practically intended to raise his defence.\n\nOn the other hand, I think it probable that Holt, being a policeman, knew perfectly well that he would be dealt with departmentally (and not judicially) under Section 24 of Order 14 of 1887, that he never expected to be cross-examined before charges of bribery in a magistrate's court, and that, if he had so expected, instead of merely \"making no statement\" he would, as the result of his police experience, have used some expression definitely reserving his defence until he was brought before the magistrate.\n\nHe appears to have done nothing of the kind, and his conduct in this respect is, I think, stronger evidence against him than the evidence of P.C. 187 of his alleged confession. He behaved at the time as if he were confessing. This with the evidence quelling and other evidence against him, for what it is worth, I should on the whole be inclined to represent that his case be reconsidered.\n\nJJR 8/1\n\nThe case seems difficult to decide but I lean towards treating him in the same way as the others who were probably equally guilty or judged.\n\nM. Lucas: I should decline to reopen this case. A policeman knows enough of law & practice not to act as if he had a valid defence.\n\nSay that having communicated with the Governor of Hongkong, Lyttelton is unable to comply with his petition to be granted a revision in respect of his case in the colony, and this answer must be considered as final.\n\nLet M. Cox see the letter. C.Pd. 9 at once.\n\n## Page 53 \n## Page 911",

Sometimes the gambling was carried on at No. 5 Wa Lane and sometimes at No. 2 Ng Kwai Fong. The gambling house I kept was open about 5 years. It was closed on the 19th of the 5th month (18th of June, 1897). It was closed because Inspector Stanton sent word to stop it. I was arrested on the 21st of June at No. 8 East Street. I was arrested by the Captain Superintendent of Police.\n\nThe books that I kept in connection with the gambling house were seized at the same time. I did not expect to be arrested and have my books seized. No gambling carried on at No. 3 East Street. I expected a raid to be made at Wa Lane if anywhere.\n\nI was able to keep open the gambling house because I bribed the Police. I kept a record of the bribes I paid. I wrote down in my record the names or numbers of the Police that I paid bribes to. I do not know the defendant.\n\nThe list produced (List H) is a list of the persons to whom bribes were given. There is an entry referring to a Policeman No. 43. There is only one entry for New 43. There is another entry for No. 43. That entry refers to the old 43.\n\nThe entry \"New 43 $2\" means that I paid $2 a day for No. 43 Sergeant. I have been paying money for No. 20.\n\nPage 60  \nPage 61",

I think I paid it up to the year before last. Then Hau Hang a Detective came to say that it was too little. He said No. 42 thinks $1 a day too little and if you do not believe me I will take you to the Kanno Temple to see him (New 43). I believed him and I consented to pay $2. Hau Hang told me to pay the money to Tang Chung, Police Sergeant 190; so I paid Tang Chung $2 a day while gambling was going on. Tang Chung used to send a man either A Ting or Ayi and I used to pay it to them. A Ting used to live at No. 9 Circular Pathway. Ayi also lived there. No. 9 Circular Pathway is Tang Chung's Club.\n\nI recognise the bundle of papers produced. They are the daily accounts kept in connection with the gambling house. The total amount of bribes paid by me at East Street daily was entered by me in these daily account slips. A balance of these daily accounts was struck daily and the balance to debit or credit entered in the ledger. The list of persons bribed was written by me. The entry \"New 43 $2\" was written by me. This list and the daily accounts and the books are in same condition as they were when in my possession in No. 8 East Street. They have not been altered in any way.\n\nThese papers and books were in my possession at No. 3 East Street the day they were seized by the Captain Superintendent of Police.\n\nThis $2 was paid up to the 18th day of June, 1897. The last payment was made on that day.\n\nNo questions.\n\nHau Hang, R.C.137 states:- I returned from England yesterday. I left for England on the 1st of May.

        "content_text": "I know Sam Yin (points him out). I became acquainted with him 3 years ago. He is an accountant for a gambling house in a Lane. He used to live at No. 3 East Street.\n\nI know No. 9 Circular Pathway. It is Tang Chung's Club. Tang Chung told me to go there to fetch money for No. 48 Sergeant. Sergeant No. 48 is Sergeant Holt. I went myself to No. 9 Circular Pathway. Since the beginning of this Chinese Year I have taken money for Sergeant Holt six times. I used to go once a week. I used to get $10.50 each time. Tang Chung used to hand the money himself to me. The money used to be done up in a parcel, there was nothing written on the parcel. Inside were bank notes and 10 cent pieces. After receiving the money I handed it over to Sergeant Holt. Sometimes I paid it in the street and sometimes at the Central Station when the prisoners were released early in the morning.\n\nAfter I had received the money six times Tang Chung told me that I need not receive the money any more. I don't know why. I have never had any dispute or quarrel with Sergeant Holt.\n\nThe money that I paid to Holt was paid as bribes for the Wa Lane Gambling House. I myself received bribes from this gambling house in Ka Lane. While I was in receipt of bribes I did not report the gambling house.\n\nI do not know whether Sergeant Holt ever reported the Gambling house.\n\nNo questions.\n\nSergeant Holt states that he does not wish to make any statement and has nothing to say.\n\nRecommended",

The question of re-adjustment arose principally in consequence of the failure of the sea-wall which had been constructed to protect the reclamation for the lots originally sold, and when this failure took place the Director of Public Works raised the question as he observed that an improvement could be effected which would be advantageous both to the Government and to the owners of the lots.

Sir Henry Blake was unable to accede to all the Watch Committee asked for, but promised to recommend a grant of land in the Eastern District of the City for one Watchhouse which seemed an adequate return for the additions made to the Force of Watchmen.\n\n2. A suitable site for such a Watchhouse has been selected near No. 3 Police Station. As indicated on the enclosed tracing its area is 6,900 Square Feet, which at 50 cents per Square Foot premium and at the rate of $350 per acre Crown Rent represents a capital value of $4,265. The cost of the erection of the quarters and the salaries of the District Watchmen will not fall upon Government, but will be met out of the funds of the Force.\n\n3.

I observe that in October 1901, Sir John Carrington anticipated under the arrangements which he then recommended that the work would be completed at the expiration of a little over 6 months from the date of his arrival in England.\n\n2. Many of the Ordinances have been for some time out of print but I have hesitated to have them reprinted in the hope that the revised edition would have been ready for use long ago.\n\n3. Messrs.

        "content_text": "# CHINESE PRESENTATION TO LADY BLAKE\n\nTWO SCHOLARSHIPS FOR HONGKONG. A presentation of a number of valuable **enrios** was made to Lady Blake at Government House yesterday; they comprised three bronzes (one incense-burner and two **vasus**) 800 years old, two blue and white china Kang Ili dynasty vases, one vase of the Yung Ching dynasty, one pair of Kin Leaug dynasty vases, two pieces of old embroidery (one a **soreen** and the other a cover), and two carved ivories, one of which is of 18 stages (one ball inside another). In addition to H.E. and Lady Blake there were present Sir John Keane, Mr. R. F. Jehuston, Acting Clerk of Councils, Mr. Rumjuba, the Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hon. Wei Yuk, Messrs Fung Wa Chan, Lau Chu Pak, Ho Fook, Chan Sia Ke, Wei Or, Un Lai Chuen, Tang Lou Kop, Ta ig Lau Chuon, Wong Kum Fuk, Chow Hing Ki, Yeang Pin Shan, Lai Shun Hní, U Hai Chow, Li Pk, Chow Foon Ng, and Chan Chok Ping. The deputation was received in the ball room, when first of all Master Wei Yuk presented Lady Blake with a bouquet.\n\nHon. Dr. Ho Kai then stepped forward and said:- On behalf of your many Chinese friends and admirers in this Colony I have the distinguished honour to-day to present a few articles for your gracious acceptance. The articles in themselves are not of very great value, but they are presented to you by your Chinese friends more as a token of their esteem and of their regard and affection, your Ladyship. On the eve of your departure for Ceylon your Chinese friends have felt that very shortly they are about to lose the society not only of a great and charming lady, but a sympathetic and kind personal friend. (Applause). They have received many acts of kindness from your hands. They have received your profuse hospitality at Government House, and you have always taken a very lively and kindly interest in them and their affairs both individually and as a community and a nation. They feel that in you they have a sympathiser, a friend and a guide, and the Chinese and their families have also received much kindness at your hands. The articles are the products of the art, industry, and manufactures of China. They will serve to remind you when you are far away from us in Ceylon, or at your home in Ireland, that you have many affectionate friends among the Chinese in the far eastern Colony of Hongkong, and they further will remind you of your five years' residence in this Colony amongst us. (Applause). I need not recount the many kindnesses that you have shown your Chinese friends here, but suffice it to say your kindness, courtesy, and your consideration, and the sympathetic interest you have taken in them, in their families, and in their social affairs, have so endeared you to them that they shall ever cherish the memory of you all through their life (applause). They hope that when you are away from them that you may be reminded of them, and they also desire to wish you and your noble husband, H.E. the Governor, a very prosperous and happy future life. Your Chinese friends, therefore, beg that your Ladyship will accept these articles. (Applause).\n\nLady BLAKE in response said- There is an old saying that \"out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh,\" but I am sorry to say that I cannot agree with that saying this morning, for much as I feel I have no words to express my gratitude for your kindness and my admiration for your gifts. To me it is not only a pleasure but a privilege to have made so many friends amongst the Chinese, and as I believe that when one is far away one can still be with those one cares for in spirit, my spirit will always be with you. In years to come I look forward to seeing many of you in our home in Ireland. I thank you with all my heart for these presents, and I can assure you that your regard and sincerity (applause).\n\nDr. Ho KAI then addressed Sir Henry Blake as follows:- May I now take this opportunity, your Excellency, to address to you a few words?\n\nAt the request of the leading men of the Chinese community, I have to ask your kind approval of the foundation of two scholarships to be named after your Excellency; the one is to be allotted to the Queen's College and the other to the College for Medicine for the Chinese. Both will be awarded annually. The Chinese have further requested me to request your approval of the painting of a portrait of your Excellency and the placing it in the hall of the new wing of the Tung Wa Hospital. By these acts the Chinese community desire to perpetuate your Excellency's memory, and to hand it down to posterity and future generations. I can assure your Excellency that with the present Chinese community in this Colony they need no such measures to keep your name green in their memory (applause). They have thoroughly appreciated your Excellency's kindness to them and they can never forget your Excellency's most wise, just, benevolent, and sympathetic administration during the five years that have just gone by. This is rather an idea of theirs to hand down to posterity something associated with your Excellency's name, that future generations may recall to mind that for the period of five years your Excellency had administered the Government of Hongkong so successfully, not only to the benefit of the Chinese, but also of all sections of the community alike (applause). The present generation of Chinese fully realise what your Excellency has been to them, and they cannot forget for a moment, even if they would, your Excellency's high qualities as an administrator and a friend. They have to-day, therefore, met to express their feelings in the matter, not because they have not already done so, but because on the eve of your departure for Ceylon they wish to obtain your approval to what they consider to be a privilege for them to do (applause). Your Excellency's acts of administration I need not here refer to, because they have been fully set forth in two documents, one of which has been brought to the notice of even His Most Gracious Majesty the King and received his approval and expressions of satisfaction. The feeling of the Chinese towards your Excellency found expression in the address which I had the honour to present to you last year, just previous to your departure for England on a holiday, and I can assure your Excellency to-day that those sentiments have never been diminished but if anything have become much more intensified, and to-day I am authorised to say that there is scarcely one among the Chinese community in Hongkong who does not know and does not esteem your Excellency for the many wise and sympathetic actions that have so characterised the five years of your administration of the affairs of this Colony. I have formally to ask for your Excellency's sanction for the two proposals which I have just mentioned, and I hope your Excellency will agree to them, and I can also assure your Excellency that they will receive that approval with the greatest pleasure, and they also wish to assure your Excellency of their continued and lasting esteem and affection. (Applause).\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said:- There is no request that you could have addressed to me that has so gratified me or that I approve of with greater pleasure, than that which you have made to me to-day, and that is, to have the honour of having my name associated with two scholarships in this Colony. Your reference to my administration is exceedingly gratifying, and I can now say that I have sometimes felt surprise at the depth of feeling on the part of the Chinese community, because so far as my acts are concerned I have done nothing more than any other representative of the King in the same position here, and that is to show every consideration and justice to every section of the community that helps to push the Colony forward into the position in which it stands at present (applause). I have governed portions of almost every race of the world. My experience goes from North America to the West Indian Islands and now to the Far East. Every man speaks of his own experience, and I can say that a more law-abiding or more easily-governed people than the Chinese in Hongkong I have never met with.",

They are all putting their shoulder to the wheel and moving forward with a common object of forwarding the interests of the Colony. It is a great honour and great gratification to me that the Chinese portion of the community have determined to establish these two scholarships. I shall always look back upon the fact that you have done so with very great pride, and with equal pride shall I remember that you will have my portrait in that splendid monument of Chinese charity, the new wing of the Tung Wah Hospital.\n\nI thank you for your thoughts and the way in which you think it advisable to mark your approval of my administration. I accept your most generous offer with great gratification and pleasure, and I thank you warmly for the feelings you have expressed toward me, and which I may tell you are heartily and warmly reciprocated (Applause).",

        "content_text": "## extract from HONG KONG TELEGRAPH of 20th December 1903\n\n## HONG KONG CIVIL SERVANTS' ADDRESS TO H.E. THE GOVERNOR\n\nThe Chief Justice, Sir W. M. Goodman, on behalf of the Civil Servants of Hongkong, attended at Government House this afternoon, and, in the presence of a large gathering of officials and others, presented H.E. Sir H. A. Blake with an illuminated address, signed by the servants in Government offices. There were present, in addition to Sir Henry and Lady Blake, Sir John Keane, A.D.C., and Sir W. M. Goodman, Mr. A. G. Wise, Hon. F. H. May, Hon. J. S. Berkeley, Hon. W. Chatham, Hon. A. W. Brewin, Hon. L. A. M. Johnston, Hon. Basil Taylor, Hon. Dr. Atkinson, Dr. Feasey, Dr. Bainett, Dr. Anderson, Dr. T. Bateson Wright, Messrs. C. McI. Masser, S. B. C. Ross, H. P. Tooker, R. F. Johnson, C. Clementi, G. A. Woodcock, A. Seth, Bruce Shepherd, J. Hanson, H. J. Baker, Jones, and many other Civil Servants, besides a large number of ladies.\n\nSir William Goodman assured H.E. of the sincerity with which they regretted his departure, and said they felt they were not only losing an able Governor, but a wise and sympathetic friend (Applause). He afterwards handed him the address, enclosed in a beautifully carved blackwood case, bearing the following inscription on a silver shield: \"Presented to H.E. Sir Henry Arthur Blake, G.C.M.G., by the Civil Servants of Hongkong, on his departure for Ceylon. November, 1903.\"\n\nH.E., in thanking them for their kind expressions of regret, said he had no hesitation in saying that nobody among public servants in the wide empire of the Crown had done their work more faithfully than those in Hongkong. He personally thanked them for the thoroughness of their work, which had made his task easy and pleasant, and which would, he hoped, bring to them in future a due reward for public services faithfully and efficiently performed. The instinct of hard work was amongst them, and fair criticism ought not to be unwelcomed or disregarded. They had the good fortune of having a press, which he had no hesitation in saying was not alone independent but as fair a press as he had known in any colony. Its standard was high, and it was absolutely free from that scurrility and personality that he had seen now and again elsewhere (Applause). It was a great satisfaction to him to know that in departing from Hongkong he had left some good men amongst them, whose names would be well known in the future. On behalf of Lady Blake and himself, he thanked them most warmly for their kindness, which was most heartily reciprocated. He wished them every prosperity in the future (Applause).\n\n## The following is the text of the address:\n\nTo His Excellency SIR HENRY ARTHUR BLAKE, G.C.M.G., Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.\n\nMay it please Your Excellency,—Before Your Excellency leaves this Colony to take up the important appointment which His Majesty the King has been pleased to confer upon you, it is the desire of those who have served under you in Hongkong to express their regret at the prospect of your early departure, and the high respect and admiration which they have learned to feel for Your Excellency. All sections of the community must be aware that since your arrival in this Colony in 1898, you have never spared yourself in labouring for its welfare, but none can know this so well as those who have had the privilege of working under your direction. The period of your administration has been a momentous one in the history of the Colony, and has had its special difficulties and anxieties. Not only has Hongkong grown steadily in wealth and prosperity, but its area has been largely extended by the occupation of the New Territory. With the advance of the Colony in Imperial and Commercial importance, increased responsibilities and new problems have arisen, demanding from the Governor no small measure of sagacity and administrative skill.\n\nIn our own endeavours conscientiously to perform our humbler part in the increasing labours of the Government, we have all been cheered and encouraged by the knowledge that the highest example of hard work, energy, and enthusiasm has been shown us by Your Excellency; and at the same time, we desire gratefully to acknowledge the courtesy, consideration, and sympathy which you, as head of the Civil Service, have invariably extended to all its members. The Crown has already recognised Your Excellency's administrative abilities by conferring upon you the highest appointments in several of the colonies of the Empire. In your administration of the Bahamas, Newfoundland, and Jamaica, and here again in Hongkong, Your Excellency has proved that the Royal choice could have fallen on none worthier or better fitted to carry on the high traditions of British justice, integrity, impartiality, and earnestness which, no less than in the mother-country, are so proudly cherished in the King's Dominions beyond the Seas. The experience gained by Your Excellency during so long a period and in so many Colonies has added year by year to the value of your services. It was therefore with great satisfaction that we, the Civil Servants in this Colony, learned that His Majesty had selected you to be Governor of the Colony of Ceylon, one of the fairest as it is one of the most important of all His Majesty's possessions.\n\nWe feel confident that Your Excellency's term of administration in Ceylon will be accompanied by the uniform success which has attended your administration of four other Colonies; and the Civil Service of Hongkong, while regretfully taking leave of a Head for whom it has the highest regard, congratulates the sister-service in Ceylon on its acquisition of so capable, just, and considerate a Governor. In conclusion, we desire to express our heartfelt wish that, not only in Ceylon but elsewhere, Good Health, Prosperity, and Happiness may long be granted both to Your Excellency and Lady Blake.\n\nWe have the honour to subscribe ourselves\n\nYour Excellency's\n\nMost obedient humble servants,\n\n[Here follow signatures]",

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held yesterday afternoon. Present: -\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR**, Sir HENRY A. BLAKE, G.C.M.G.\nColonel L. F. BROWN, Commanding the Troops.\nHon. F. H. MAY, C.M.G. (Colonial Secretary),\nHon. Sir H. S. BERKELEY (Attorney-General),\nHon. I. A. M. JOHNSTON (Acting Colonial Treasurer).\nHon. W. CHATHAM (Director of Public Works).\nHon. A. W. BREWIN (Registrar-General).\nHon. BASIL BR. H. TAYLOR (Acting Harbour Master).\nHon. Sir C. P. CHATER, C.M.G.\nHon. Dr. HO KAI, C.M.G.\nHon. WEI YUK.\nHon. C. W. DICKSON.\nHon. GERSHOM STEWART.\nMr. R. F. JOHNSTON (Acting Clerk of Councils).\n\n## SWEARING IN A MEMBER\n\nHon. A. W. Brewin, Registrar-General, was sworn in as a member of the Council on his return to the Colony.\n\n## STANDING COMMITTEES\n\nThe following standing Committees were appointed: -\n\n* Finance Committee: All members except the President (Chairman, the Colonial Secretary).\n* Public Works Committee: The Director of Public Works (Chairman), the Colonial Treasurer, Sir C. P. Chater, Mr. C. W. Dickson, Mr. Gershom Stewart (temporarily and in place of Mr. Shewan).\n* Standing Law Committee: The Attorney-General (Chairman), the Harbour Master, Dr. Ho Kai, Mr. Wei Yuk, Mr. Pollock, K.C. (temporarily and in place of Mr. Sharp).\n\n## FINANCIAL\n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY** laid on the table Financial minutes (Nos. 54 to 57) and moved that they be referred to the Finance Committee.\nThe **ACTING COLONIAL TREASURER** seconded and the motion was agreed to.\n\n## PAPERS\n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY** laid on the table a report on Queen's College and correspondence arising out of the report of the Education Committee (1902).\n\n## THE CONVICT PRISON ON STONECUTTERS' ISLAND\n\nThe **DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS** laid the following report of the Public Works Committee on the table: -\n\nThe Chairman laid before the Committee an estimate which had been prepared by the Superintendent of the Gaol showing that the cost of the staff for supervising the proposed prison and the cost of transport would amount in all to $23,153 per annum, the sum included for transport being $2,500. The only saving to be effected in the present annual expenditure would be $5,836, which is now expended in connection with using the Belilios Reformatory as a gaol. The net extra expense of the proposed prison would therefore amount to $17,317 per annum. The only saving which would be effected by constructing a prison on the outskirts of the city instead of on Stonecutters' would be the sum of $2,600 per annum for transport. The annual working expenses of the existing gaol amounted to $110,178.80.\n\nThe Chairman also read the Colonial Secretary's minute of the 24th September, 1903, in which he stated that, in the event of the Colonial Government abandoning the Stonecutters' site for a gaol, the War Department might contribute as much as half the cost of the new Gunpowder Depot on Green Island, which is estimated to cost $107,000.\n\nThe Committee desire that definite information should be obtained as to the amount which the Military Authorities would be prepared to contribute in the event of the Gunpowder Depot being removed from Stonecutters Island as proposed, and \n(a) the proposal to erect a convict prison there being carried out;\n(b) the proposal to erect a convict prison there being abandoned.\n\n## PUMPING APPARATUS AT TYTAMTUK\n\nThe **DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS** - Before resuming my seat, sir, I would like to mention for the information of hon. members that a temporary pumping plant has been established at Tytamtuk which is capable of raising about half a million gallons daily to the tunnel which conveys the water to the city. The pump commenced work on the 1st of this month, and has been at work since with slight intermission. (Applause.)\n\n## SLAUGHTER OF ANIMALS\n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY** laid on the table the following additional bye-law made under Sub-section 25 of Section 16 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, for regulating the slaughter of animals, and moved its approval.\n\nAll animals killed for food in a Government slaughter-house shall be killed in the following manner: - (1) All cattle (except buffaloes) shall be killed with a pole-axe of a pattern to be approved of by the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon. (2) All buffaloes shall be killed with a rifle of a size and pattern to be approved by the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon. All rifles used for this purpose shall be kept by the inspector in charge of each slaughter-house and used by him alone. (3) All sheep, goats and swine shall be killed with a knife in the usual manner, except in the case of pigs which, in the opinion of the inspector in charge of the slaughter-house, are too large to be killed in this way. Such pigs shall be killed in the same manner as cattle. Provided always that nothing in this bye-law shall affect Jews, Mahomedans, or other peoples holding religious beliefs which compel them to kill animals for food in a particular manner.\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL** seconded, and the motion was agreed to.\n\n## NEW TERRITORIES TITLES ORDINANCE\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL** moved the first reading of a Bill entitled an Ordinance to repeal the New Territories Titles Ordinance 1902.\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY** seconded, and the motion was agreed to.\n\nThe objects and reasons attached to the Bill are as follows: - The object is to repeal the New Territories Titles Ordinance because it has become apparent that the system of title by registration thereby established is unworkable and because it is found that the system, if it could be brought into operation, would clash with the Land Court Ordinance, 1900, in a manner contemplated neither by its framer nor by the Legislature when it passed the Ordinance. The conflict with the Land Court Ordinance arises from the interpretation given in the New Territories Titles Ordinance to the expressions \"customary land\" and \"customary landholder.\" The effect of that interpretation may be to override section 14 of the Land Court Ordinance and to confer \"title\" in a manner never intended and impossible to permit. It was never intended and cannot be permitted that title to land in the New Territories should be acquired otherwise than by grant from the Crown as in the case of land in the other parts of the Colony, but it is open to question whether the effect of the interpretation clause of the New Territories Titles Ordinance is not to vest in the Land Court the power to confer title independently of grant from the Crown. It was never intended that the Land Court should have power to do more than investigate claims to land and report thereon to the Governor. It was always intended, and that intention still prevails, that the ultimate right to grant or to refuse a title should rest with the Governor - an intention which clearly appears in section 14 of the Land Court Ordinance, 1900. No inconvenience will thereby be caused to anyone, because no land has yet been brought under the operation of the Ordinance.\n\n## NEW TERRITORIES LAND COURT ORDINANCE\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL** moved the first reading of a Bill entitled an Ordinance to further amend the New Territories Land Court Ordinance, No. 18 of 1900.\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY** seconded, and the motion was agreed to.\n\nThe objects and reasons of the Bill are to empower the Governor to facilitate and accelerate the work of the New Territories Land Court by adding members thereto when necessary.\n\n## PUBLIC HEALTH AND BUILDINGS ORDINANCE",

        "content_text": "## 86 \n\nBubact \n\nFrom Jaily Ress \n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL** moved the first reading of a Bill entitled as Ordinance to amend the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, No. 1 of 1903.\n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY** seconded, and the motion was agreed to.\n\nThe objects and reasons attached to the Bill are as follows:- The object of this amending Ordinance is to effect certain amendments in the Principal Ordinance principally on the recommendation of the Sanitary Board. The practical working of the Ordinance has shown these amendments to be necessary. An amendment is also made in the arbitration clauses, by which power is conferred upon the arbitrators, provided for in the Ordinance, to take into their consideration, in determining the amount of compensation which may be payable in any given case, the fact that the rental of the premises is enhanced by reason of its being overcrowded; and by direction of the Secretary of State, amendments are made to various sections of the Principal Ordinance, by which a Sanitary Department is created, and the Principal Civil Medical Officer is constituted its administrative head. In order to give effect to the Board's recommendation, a new definition of the expression \"external air\" is submitted to Council. The Board having reported that section 48 of the Principal Ordinance, as it stands, is unworkable, that section is repealed by the Amending Ordinance and has been recast to accord with the Board's recommendation. The object is to expedite and facilitate legal action in case of overcrowding. The present procedure is too cumbrous. A similar course is taken with respect to sections 150 and 145 of the Principal Ordinance; and on the recommendation of the Board sub-sections (3) and (4) of section 175 are transposed in the Amending Ordinance. The Amending Ordinance also deletes the last clause (the proviso) of section 46 of the Principal Ordinance. This has been done on the recommendation of the Sanitary Board because as the section stands it is found to prevent any finality in determining the number of persons who may inhabit a floor, as by altering the size of a cubicle a man may at present increase or decrease the number of persons allowed. The proviso was a concession made at the time when it was believed that every third house would be taken down and lateral windows in cubicles thereby provided. The words \"room\" and \"cubicle\" heretofore having in many instances the same meaning will for the future have a distinct meaning, and be dealt with under separate sections of the Ordinance, and by the amendments made at the Board's suggestion, a \"cubicle\" (i.e., a sub-division of a room) as soon as it has a window one-tenth of the floor area becomes a \"room.\" The amendments therefore do not prevent \"cubicles\" in future houses, but only prevent the existence of windowless cubicles except where such cubicles exist in rooms which are themselves sufficiently light.\n\n### MAGISTRATES ORDINANCE\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL** moved that the Council resolve itself into committee on the Bill entitled an Ordinance to further amend the Magistrates Ordinance, 1890.\n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY** seconded, and the motion was agreed to.\n\nThe Bill having been considered in committee, The Council resumed.\n\nOn the motion of the **ATTORNEY-GENERAL**, seconded by the **COLONIAL SECRETARY**, the Bill was read a third time and passed.\n\n### UNDESIRABLE PERSONS\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL** moved that the Council resolve itself into committee on the Bill entitled an Ordinance to provide for the recovery of charges incurred by the Colony on account of certain undesirable persons introduced into the Colony. He said- Since the Bill was last before the Council it has been before the Standing Law Committee and by a majority the Committee have agreed to recommend the Bill to the Council in the shape in which it is now in the hands of hon. members. The hon. member for the Chamber of Commerce (Mr. Pollock) was not present at the last meeting of the Law Committee, but it may be assumed that he would have opposed the Bill, as he is opposed to the Bill principle. The amendments which have been effected, or rather that are suggested and recommended by the Standing Law Committee, go almost the whole way in meeting the objection raised by the hon. members.\n\nThe 20th November 1902\n\n7th \n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-What was it?\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL**-The Bill is now limited to any person who is either lunatic, idiot, or imbecile, or suffering from leprosy, and it is made less wide in its scope than originally intended. Also the Bill makes it quite clear that masters of ships bringing undesirable persons shall have power to detain them on board unless the Principal Civil Medical Officer or the Medical Officer of Health gives permission to land them, and in case any passenger is so detained no action shall lie against any person whatsoever. I do not know whether the house is prepared to go into it, but I move that the house go into committee.\n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY** seconded.\n\nHon. **GERSHOM STEWART**-Your Excellency, in the absence of the member for the Chamber of Commerce, might I ask your Excellency to postpone consideration of this Bill? It arrived in its present form only last night, and is practically to all intents and purposes a new Bill. It is a matter which the committee of the Chamber of Commerce would like to talk over. It contains a clause that bears hardly upon the shipper. It makes him liable for an undesirable person who becomes within six months from the date of landing a charge upon the public or upon any public institution. It does not seem a question of urgency, and if your Excellency would grant that indulgence the unofficial members and the Chamber of Commerce would appreciate it very much.\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL**-We do not want to press it.\n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY**-There is no desire on the part of the Government to unduly press this Bill, but at the same time I would like to point out that the Bill is urgent. It is only recently that the military authorities asked for the reception in the lunatic asylum of two European members of the garrison. That request had very reluctantly to be refused because the lunatic asylum is already full. Amongst the number of the occupants are to be found several foreigners who have no connection whatever with this Colony, and have no claim whatever upon the ratepayers of this Colony for their maintenance. There is a great difficulty in getting rid of a foreigner who is brought here and is cast upon the Colony and is a lunatic. Ships are very unwilling to take away a lunatic, and the negotiations with a foreign government for the reception of such lunatics into their own countries are very difficult and protracted. Therefore, Sir, I think, in the interests of the Colony and in justice to the ratepayers of the Colony, the Government is called upon to take some measures to prevent the dumping of lunatics who have no connection with the Colony at all into our asylum, the effect of which is that our own people in this Colony are excluded from the lunatic asylum. The matter has become so urgent that the Principal Civil Medical Officer made an application the other day that we should build a new lunatic asylum at a cost of some $55,000, and the usual increase, I suppose, of doctors, nurses, wardmasters, etc. To a certain extent I think we ought to try and see whether we cannot keep those undesirable people from being dumped among us. There is no objection to a reasonable postponement of the thing.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-I will not have the opportunity later on of dealing with this Bill, but still I think it may be well that I should give you my views as far as this question about the six months is concerned. We ought to go upon a principle that is fair to the shippers as well as to the owners; that is, there ought to be some reasonable probability that there will be something to show the owners and the captain of a ship that the person was not all right when he was on board, and therefore my own opinion is that six months is too long. The probability is that when the Bill is gone on with no doubt the Government will be prepared to meet the views of the shippers in shortening that period. If I were dealing with this Bill myself I should be prepared to meet any objection on this six months' score in that way, so that there would be a reasonable probability that the person would have shown symptoms on board ship.\n\nThe Bill was postponed till next meeting of Council.\n\n### BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL** moved the third reading of the Bill entitled an Ordinance to define the Boundaries of the City of Victoria.",

        "content_text": "# \nExtract from Daily Press of the 20th May 1903-\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the motion was agreed to.\n\n## THE GOVERNOR'S FAREWELL ADDRESS\nH.E. the GOVERNOR said.-Honourable Members of the Legislative Council, this is the last occasion on which I shall have the honour of presiding over your deliberations. I propose, with your permission, to review as shortly as I can the condition of the Colony during the five years of my administration of this Government. I arrived at a time when a most important and far-reaching change was about to be made in the condition of the Colony. Hongkong, which was ceded to Great Britain in 1841, had developed into a great port, with a population of 248,000. Its area, including the point of Kowloon Peninsula, was 32 square miles. The northern shores of the harbour were Chinese territory; at Sam-shai-pa, Cap-sui-moon, and Fu-ti-moon Chinese Custom-houses were established, and Chinese Customs cruisers operated within the ill-defined harbour limits to the great irritation of the community. The Kowloon extension agreement, signed on the 9th June, 1898, remedied this anomalous state of affairs in a harbour that, under the fostering care of Great Britain, had grown into the position of the third port in the world, the tonnage of whose shipping had in twenty years increased from 5,000,000 to 17,000,000. Under its provisions, it became my duty as the representative of Her late Majesty the Queen to assume the government of over 400 additional square miles of territory, with a population of over 100,000, and also over the waters of Mirs Bay and Deep Bay. This agreement gave for the first time complete control over the waters of the harbour and its approaches, and removed the causes of the long-felt irritation.\n\nIt will be in your recollection, gentlemen, that the taking over of the New Territory was not accomplished without some trouble. The delimitation of the northern boundary had to be arranged, and when it had been finally settled, on the 18th March, I, at the request of the Chinese Government, made through the British Minister at Peking, deferred the hoisting of our flag to the 17th April (actually it was on the 16th that formal possession was taken, and the flag was hoisted on the 17th). In the meantime, certain agitators inflamed the minds of the people by false statements as to the result of our occupation to such an extent that armed resistance to the transfer of the New Territory was agreed upon. On the 14th April, the matsheds erected at Tai-pó Ha were destroyed, and the police and troops who proceeded to the place preparatory to the ceremony of the 17th were attacked by large numbers of Chinese apparently under military direction. Reinforcements were at once sent out, and formal possession of the New Territory was taken over on the 16th, so that our position should be made perfectly regular. After two engagements, in which the Chinese displayed considerable courage in acting against regular troops, and suffered some losses, the opposition collapsed. That these attacks upon our forces were encouraged by the then Viceroy there can be little doubt. My inability to permit the Chinese Customs to continue to function within the limits of the Colony was deeply resented by His Excellency, and he refused to send a Chinese official to be present at the ceremony of hoisting the flag on the 17th April.\n\nIn consequence of the evidence of the complicity of the Viceroy with the leaders of the attacks upon our troops, it was decided to occupy that portion of Samchun Valley lying to the north of the boundary line, including the important market town of Samchun. This was effected by a joint naval and military expedition, which met with no opposition, and the district was held for a month by a military force under the command of Major Prendergast, R.E., who acquired the confidence of the people; insured the security of their persons and property; assisted them in making good roads; and ultimately, under instructions from Her late Majesty's Government, withdrew from the district amid demonstrations of good-will from the inhabitants, to whom the presence of our troops had brought freedom from taxation, security of their property, and a market for their produce.\n\nOrder having been restored, the question had to be reconsidered as to the system on which this apparently turbulent population of the newly acquired territory should be governed. Two courses presented themselves-repression, or co-operation. The leaders of the people had been almost to a man actively engaged in the operations against us, but if these leaders were put aside and degraded from the position of focal consideration and authority hitherto enjoyed by them, we should have been face to face with a hostile population, without the means of communicating with them through trusted local intermediaries whose assistance is so essential to good government.\n\nI have had some experience in coercion. In certain situations, it becomes necessary. But it engenders an ever-deepening distrust, atrophies local interest in preserving order, and with the lapse of time becomes day by day more difficult to abandon without danger to the public safety. I felt, besides, that these leaders would not have been guilty of such egregious folly had they not believed the scandalous statements of our intentions that were so freely circulated, and, believing them, I could not withhold a meed of sympathy for misguided men who dared to face in open fight an overwhelming power in defence of their customs and their homes.\n\nI therefore chose the latter course, and, with the able assistance of Mr. Stewart Lockhart, whose excellent work in the pacification and arrangement of the New Territory is well known to the Honourable Members of this Council, I met the elders and gentry of the districts at Tai-pò Hu and Ping Shan, disabused their minds as to their fears, divided the Territory into eight districts and forty-seven sub-districts, and appointed the village elders as district elders with judicial power to deal with petty cases, giving at the same time to Mr. Lockhart a general controlling power with coordinate jurisdiction.\n\nAs a matter of fact, the elders, being satisfied of our just intentions, have never exercised their jurisdiction, but have left these cases to be dealt with first by Mr. Stewart Lockhart, and, after his return to the duties of Colonial Secretary, to Mr. Hallifax, Police Magistrate at Tai-po Ha, whose services are more frequently in demand as an arbitrator than as a magistrate, his decisions being readily accepted.\n\nThe establishment of police stations was proceeded with at once, and a main road laid out, which has since been constructed to Tai-po Hu, a distance of 18 miles, at a cost of $225,133. This excellent road gives access to the centre of the New Territory and obviates the necessity of communicating by sea, a passage not unattended by danger in rough or foggy weather. The construction of the road was carried out without difficulty or opposition, the claims of owners whose lands were acquired being settled at once by arrangement or arbitration.\n\nHaving arranged for police stations and the patrol of the territorial waters surrounding the 390 miles of newly acquired coast line, to check the prevalent robberies ashore and afloat, a trigonometrical and cadastral survey was entered upon, the services of a staff of surveyors and demarcators having been obtained from the Surveyor-General's department of India. The trigonometrical survey has been completed, and 345,926 lots have been demarcated. A Land Court was established to deal readily and inexpensively with the holdings claims, of which 165,231 have been presented to the Land Court.\n\nThe principal cultivation of the Territory is rice, but there is also a considerable cultivation of sugar, and, in the Tai Wan district, pineapples are grown. I found on inspection that the sugar canes were of a poor quality, and the pineapples of inferior flavour, while the primitive stone-mills in use leave a large percentage of juice in the crushed megasse. A number of canes of the best varieties were obtained from Java and Penang and have been distributed to the sugar farmers, and two Chattanooga steel mills were also imported and lent to large growers for experiment. Good varieties of pineapples were imported from Ceylon for distribution.\n\nWhile the cultivated land is now practically confined to the valleys, it is evident from the terracing of the hills that they too yielded their share of wealth-giving crops in the past, and I have little doubt that suitable cultivation will be resumed in the future. In the meantime, over 170,000 fir and camphor trees have been planted, and experiments are now being made with the Agave Rigida, or sisal hemp plant, that may yet, I hope, introduce an important industry into the Colony, while the establishment of succulent grasses on the suitable hill sides ought, if successful, to go a long way...",

        "content_text": "## exer \n\nCoctect from Saily Press of the 20th brouter 22 towards solving the question of the supply of fresh meat to Hongkong. Near the town of Un-long I found on my first visit a settlement of about 25 lepers, who were compelled to live in the middle of an extensive swamp, on a slight elevation approached by a rough causeway, and here almost under water in rainy weather. These afflicted people had built, of pieces of board, miserable shanties that afforded no protection from rain or the chill winter winds. Here they huddled together at night, while by day they approached the villages where, though not permitted to enter the houses, they were charitably supplied with food. Hard by was an unoccupied hill with a well at its base. A sufficient area was walled off, enclosing the well, and small houses have been erected by the Public Works department, that afford shelter from cold and rain. The lepers still obtain their food from the neighbours, or from their families, and the segregation is practically as effective as in more pretentious and expensive establishments, while the victims of this terrible disease have not perpetual imprisonment added to the miseries of their most miserable lives.\n\nAt Tai po, the headquarters of the New Territory establishment, a Chinese qualified medical practitioner has been stationed, whose services have been freely availed of by the inhabitants, and who is the public vaccinator of the district. The question of Education has been carefully considered. A school is about to be established at Un-long where English will be taught, and the provisions of the Education Code are being extended to the Vernacular Schools of the various districts.\n\nI have recapitulated the general lines of policy in the New Territory, as on their soundness will depend the success or failure of this assimilation with the Colony of a large agricultural population with a reputation for turbulence; suspicious of foreigners, and with a rooted objection to any interference with their settled habits or customs. It is yet too soon to judge of the results, but so far they are promising. The number of crimes reported in the year 1900 was 589, and this year 257, which is equal for the entire year to 342. Within the same period we have been able to reduce the police force from 171 to 104. Thanks to the firmness, fairness, and tact of the public officers immediately dealing with the people, confidence has been established, and the inhabitants have learnt to appreciate the benefits of the honest performance of official duties, and freedom from that official rapacity so prevalent under the Chinese system.\n\nOf this there was gratifying evidence in 1901 during the serious disturbance in the district adjoining the New Territory when the people who, two years before, had faced our troops with arms in their hands, sent a deputation of elders to request that I would send out to the frontier a small military force to prevent the entrance of disturbers of the peace, with whom they were no longer in sympathy, desiring to pursue their avocations with the quiet and security to which, as British subjects, they had become accustomed.\n\nBut in laying the foundations for the development of the New Territory, the great possibilities of which have yet to be fully realized, we must not forget the rapid growth of Hongkong and its shipping trade. \n\n| Year | Population | Assessed Value | Shipping (tons) | Revenue |\n|------|------------|---------------|---------------|----------|\n| 1898 | 254,400    | $54,511,947   | 17,265,780    | $2,834,840 |\n| 1903 | 433,660    | $8,749,643    | 23,027,455    | $4,583,295 (est.) |\n\nIn 1904, the revenue is estimated at $6,208,808, thanks to the largely increased tender for the Opium farm. In whatever direction we turn, we find a Colony instinct with boundless activity. The reclamation of Western Praya is completed. Its Eastern Praya reclamation is only delayed by demands by the Admiralty and War Office at home that this Government considers unreasonable and hopes to have modified. All around the Kowloon Peninsula, great schemes of reclamation are in progress. At Quarry Bay, a graving dock is being constructed by Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, that will be capable of docking the largest ships afloat; while another dock is being constructed by the Naval Authorities in the very heart of the City.\n\nI wish that I could congratulate you upon the latter, but, however we may deplore the injury to the city by the severance of its continuity by the Naval Dockyard, we must not forget that no protest was made by the Colony until after the work of construction had advanced considerably and a large amount of money had been spent. The Admiralty are prepared to hand over the dockyard to the Colony, but on conditions so onerous that even by this wealthy community they could not be accepted. Still, the expenditure of some thirty millions of dollars in the execution of the works on the Naval Extension and Quarry Bay docks cannot fail to increase the prosperity of the Colony.\n\nNor has the Government been remiss in Public Works. During the term of my administration, $2,741,579 have been expended on Public Works Extraordinary. The reservoir at Wong-nei-chong, of a capacity 33,000,000 gallons, has been completed, and the reservoir and gravitation scheme for Kowloon is being carried out at an estimated expense of $835,000. The initial works are in progress for the new Reservoir at Tytam Tuk, to hold 1,200,000,000 gallons. Blake Pier has been built, and the foundations of the Law Courts have been completed, and the superstructure of which the foundation stone was laid by me on the 12th instant.\n\nThe foundations of the large new market at Western have been completed, and the superstructure of the latter building has been begun, while a contract for that of the former has been let, and for the new harbour office. A site has been acquired for the new post office, and plans for it have been prepared and approved, and a contract for the foundations has been let. These important buildings will be pushed forward without delay.\n\nBut the absorbing question that has exercised the minds of the community to a greater extent than all others is that of sanitation. This question has been debated year by year as in each recurring year plague claimed its victims by hundreds, and malaria scourged the community. In May, 1902, the visit to the Colony of Professor Simpson and Mr. Osbert Chadwick, C.M.G., resulted in valuable reports on defective construction of Chinese houses, and in pursuance of their recommendations, a consolidated Public Health Ordinance has been passed, under the provisions of which the houses of the future will be of a more sanitary type, and surface overcrowding that is found in the Chinese part of the City of Victoria will be no longer possible.\n\nAn able bacteriologist has been added to the permanent staff, for whom a suitable laboratory is being built, and from his original researches valuable results have already been obtained, and still more important discoveries may be expected in the future. So far, it cannot be said that we have been more successful here than in other countries in discovering the causes or checking the ravages of plague, but investigation and experiments made during the epidemic of this year afford a hope that next year may see a step in advance in prevention, and treatment, should, unhappily, the plague again develop in epidemic form.\n\nIn the treatment of Malaria, we have profited by the light thrown upon its causation by the experiments of Celli, Ross, and other investigators, and systematic arrangements have been made to control the nullahs and pools in which the anopheles mosquito has hitherto bred along the face of the hills that dominate the city. Over $93,000 have been expended already in this work, with the result that while in 1902, 8,795 cases were admitted to various civil and military hospitals, the number of cases reported this year to the present date is 2,408.\n\nIt is to be hoped that with perseverance and thoroughness in the destruction of the anopheles mosquito, this danger to the community will ultimately be removed. To more effectually carry out the recommendations of the two experts to whose reports I have alluded, it has been decided to recommend the formation of a body of Trustees at whose disposal funds will be placed for the necessary operation of remodelling this overcrowded city.\n\nPage 90\nPage 91",

        "content_text": "## \n\n89 \n\notiest Ress \n\natrast from to Faily free of the 20th hor 1953 \n\nhealthy areas in which the registered population is 1,000 to the acre, or 640,000 to the square mile (and I have reason to believe that the registered population is considerably below the real density), is not to be expected. The difficulty must be solved by the creation of a new city by resumption, re-sale, and reconstruction; and with the steady operation of such a trust as is proposed there is no reason why this necessary improvement of Victoria should not be effected within twenty years, at a moderate cost to the inhabitants, who, it must be remembered, have the happy distinction of bearing the lightest burden of taxation of any colony in the British Empire. (Applause.) \n\nIn the elementary principles of sanitation by preventing surface over-crowding we are far behind the Chinese, who even in their largest cities keep down the general height of their houses to one story. When Victoria has been reconstructed I hope that the four-storied tenement-house will have ceased to exist. But no reconstruction of the city, or advance of material wealth should be allowed to interfere with the development by education of the minds and character of the people. This is the foundation upon which our hopes must rest for the stability of the colony of the future, and it is not being neglected. As the result of a commission on the subject, a new code has been arranged that will improve the present system. \n\nPetitions were received from the European residents praying for the establishment of a school for the separate instruction of European children, and from Chinese residents praying for the establishment of a school for the education of the better classes of Chinese. Both proposals were approved. The English school has been established in Kowloon by kindness of Mr. Ho Tung, by whose permission a school just completed by him, at considerable expense, and presented to the colony as a mixed school for both races, was devoted to the purpose of a school for Europeans, the Government undertaking to replace it by building a school in Yau Ma Tei, which is now in course of construction. The school for the children of the better classes of Chinese has been established by private enterprise.\n\nIt was with great pleasure that I saw at last accomplished the opening of additional treaty ports and ports of call on the West River. The proposals now sanctioned by Treaty were formally accepted by the Tsung-li Yamen in two interviews that I had with that body at Peking in 1900. They had the approval of Sir Robert Hart, and also of the late Li Hung Chang, but the committee appointed by the Viceroy to report upon them reported unfavourably and the matter was shelved, in spite of frequent protests, until the whole position was considered by the Treaty Commissioners, and the proposals were definitely accepted. The value of Waichow on the East River may not be so apparent at present, but it was added at my suggestion, as in my opinion it may one day be a valuable link in the direct trade between the rich East River valley to the north, and Hongkong, the land communication between Waichow and Wai Chau presenting no engineering difficulties. (Applause.) \n\nDuring the eventful five years of my administration Hongkong has been brought face to face with typhoon, war, pestilence, and famine, and I look back with admiration to the behaviour of the colony in every contingency. Abounding charity and generosity accompany the buoyant energy of the community, and I find that within the five years over $425,000 have been subscribed in aid of the widows and orphans of our soldiers and sailors who fell in the South African war; in aid of the famine-stricken people of Kwangsi; in aid of the sufferers by the destructive typhoon of 1900; and in aid of the fund for the erection in London of a memorial to our late revered and beloved Queen, and this in addition to the local charities of the Chinese portion of the community, of which but few realise the extent, or the economy and ability with which they are administered.\n\nIt has been my pleasant duty to open two hospitals within the past year, built by the Chinese community at an expense of $140,000, and affording accommodation to 136 patients. An equally pleasant task has been the opening this month of the Victoria Jubilee Hospital for Women and Children on Barker Road, built by joint subscription and grant from Colonial funds, in commemoration of the Jubilee of Her Majesty the late Queen. \n\nI will not weary you with further figures. I desire but to emphasise some of the salient features of the time during which I have been Governor of the Colony. I have especially dwelt upon the treatment of the problem to be solved on the New Territory because on the experience of the 400,000 Chinese in this Colony is formed the Chinese estimate of British justice and of the security that is to be found under the British flag, and as surely as the water of the great rivers flow from the snow-capped mountains to the sea, so surely will the estimate of our qualities as a nation flow from sea to mountain, following the lines of trade to their extremest limits. To every one of us who lifts his eyes from the immediate exigencies of the business of the hour and looks into the future, this conviction carries with it a sense of great responsibility, and apart from our national sense of justice compels us so to deal with the Chinese people with whom we come in contact as to satisfy them that in Hongkong they will find a Government fair and just, hoping to shape the destinies of a free community where commercial activity is sustained and developed by that security without which no commerce can expand. (Applause.) \n\nI shall leave the Colony with a lasting and grateful remembrance of the assistance and support that I have invariably received from the members of this Council, which includes all the members of my Executive Council. Fair and independent criticism no honest Government need fear, nor prudent Governor ignore, and the changes between rough-hewn Bills and the finished Ordinances bear witness to the care with which the members of this Council, especially the unofficial members, have examined the measures introduced, and the readiness of the Government to yield to sound objections. In a Council whose discussions and debates have been actuated by a strong sense of public duty, and into which no element of personal rancour has ever entered, my duties have been light indeed, and in bidding this Council farewell I do so with a lively sense of gratitude for the happy relations that have always existed between us, and an earnest prayer that the interests of the many people who form the community of this great port and Colony will always in the future be safeguarded by members as able, impartial, and single-minded as you, gentlemen, to whom, as your President, I now say good-bye. (Loud applause.) \n\n## \n\nHon. Sir Paul CHATER-Your Excellency, Speaking on behalf of the unofficial members, I can confidently say that we have all listened to your farewell speech with equal interest and regret, with great interest because of the important questions with which it deals, with personal regret because we recognise that it is the last occasion on which you will address this Council. I can assure you, Sir, that we most cordially reciprocate the expressions of goodwill that have fallen from you. (Applause.) The relations between the head of the Executive and this Council, during your Excellency's tenure of office, have been marked with the best of feeling, and I am sure that all my colleagues will agree with me that every opportunity has been given by you for the ventilation and discussion of debatable questions. For my own part, I can truly say that I have always received the greatest consideration at your hands; that for any subject I desired publicity you have afforded me every facility and any proposals that I have had the good fortune to be able to put forward for the benefit of the Colony have received your prompt attention and your earnest support.\n\nYour Excellency will leave this Colony in many respects much better than you found it. Public works have made some progress, but perhaps more has been done to initiate them than actually to bring them to completion. You have sown where your successor will reap. Works commenced in your time will be completed during his term of office. The bounds of the Colony have been extended, the population considerably increased, its importance enhanced, and its revenue very largely augmented, so largely, indeed, that the sanitary improvements, which are now so very necessary, may be gradually carried into effect without increasing the taxation. That progress will, I am sanguine, continue. Neither temporary commercial depression nor the recurrent outbreaks of plague will be able to permanently...",

(Applause) I must not monopolise the time of the Council. I am sure my unofficial colleagues are anxious to address you, too, and no doubt they will fill in the gaps which I am only too conscious occur in my own. In conclusion, nothing now remains but to bid you, officially, farewell, and to assure you that the unvarying tact, patience, and good temper with which you have presided over the deliberations of this body, and the conscientious care you have taken in the administration of affairs during the last five years will abide with us in the future. (Applause.)\n\nHon. Dr. Ho Kai-Your Excellency,-As senior representative of the Chinese at this Council I may be permitted to add a few words to the remarks of the senior unofficial member, with which, I may say, I fully concur. Your Excellency has presided over us for a period of five years. During that time the deliberations and discussions in this Council have been conducted without personal rancour, as your Excellency said, and with mutual good feeling, and this I venture to ascribe in a great measure to your consummate tact and courtesy and your fairness and sound judgment. You have just given us, Sir, a concise review of the salient features of your administration, and will, I trust, permit me to say, Sir, that your past administrative acts have given entire satisfaction to the community which I have the honour to represent, and have, moreover, won the confidence and respect, the admiration and affection of the whole Chinese community. I am confident, Sir, that they will be fruitful of the best results to the Colony and the New Territory also, which has been newly acquired. Personally I cannot bid you farewell to-day without thanking you for your invariable kindness and consideration to myself and my colleague in this Council, Mr. Wai Yuk, in our capacity as representatives of the Chinese. No one knows better than your Excellency that it is oftentimes an arduous task to represent the multifarious and many interests of this community in the Council, but by your kindness and your great consideration and assistance we have found that task made very easy for us, and sometimes very pleasant, so that I myself cannot allow this occasion to pass without thanking your Excellency most sincerely for your past kindness to us and myself, and in bidding you farewell officially to-day I wish to assure your Excellency of my profound respect and esteem, and I desire also that your Excellency will accept our best wishes for your future happiness and prosperity. (Applause.)\n\nHon. WAI YUK-Your Excellency,-My hon. friend has so fully expressed my views and any own expressions with regard to your Excellency that he has left me no words to do anything more than to express my entire concurrence with his remarks. I join him in wishing your Excellency good health, prosperity and happiness. (Applause.)\n\nHon. C. W. DICKSON-Your Excellency,-My hon. colleague at this Council has given a resumé of what has transpired during the period I have had the honour to serve on this Council, and has spoken of the marked esteem with which we one and all look upon your Excellency, and upon the fairness which has characterised the attitude of the official members towards the unofficial members in this Council. In these sentiments which he has expressed I am very pleased indeed to be able to cordially concur, and in wishing your Excellency good-bye I join with him in expressing the wish that your Excellency may enjoy health and prosperity for all time. (Applause.)\n\nHon. GERSHOM STEWART-Your Excellency,-Although a new member of this Council, I am an old resident in this Colony, and I have followed always with great interest the deeds of those who have been sent to rule over us. Comparisons are always to be avoided, and I shall content myself with saying that with the wise and liberal lines on which you have carried on the administration of this Colony I have always felt myself most entirely in accord. I think this Colony owes to you a debt of gratitude which, as time goes on, will grow larger and larger. (Applause)\n\nFor the last ten years we have been struggling with that scourge of plague. We have been learning in sorrow and bitterness the truth of the old saying, \"that cleanliness is next to godliness.\" It has been an immense support, and it has been of incalculable value to those who had interests in this Colony to feel that those who were placed over us have the courage and devotion to labour and combat that dreadful evil. (Applause). I am delighted to be able to say that in the Governor we are losing and the Governor we are going to get we have examples of devotion which have inspired other men. (Applause). I believe that, besides those things we know, this Colony is indebted to you for much work which perhaps has not been made public. The opening, for instance, of that port of Waichow would never have been effected without you. I think it is possible that that place may in future be of great importance to us. We have been associated - some of us - in an epoch-making thing in regard to the railway commencement in southern China. I believe the question which will agitate our minds here in the immediate future more than any other is whether or not this Colony shall be the open door for the arterial railway from Hankow to Canton. We will have the pleasure of listening to you once more, Sir, and I trust you will give us your views on that most important point. The keen sympathy and good-heartedness with which you have listened to and assisted in every possible way those in distress have been an encouragement to that charity by which you say this Colony has distinguished itself. We cannot forget the manner in which you took under your care that plague-stricken district in the east of the city nor of the assistance you afforded to the sufferers by the typhoon of 1900, when hundreds of Chinese were rescued from a watery grave in the confines of this Colony. I cordially endorse everything that has been said by my colleagues, and as Governor and one of the best-hearted members of the human family that it has ever been my good fortune to meet, I wish you farewell and all happiness. (Applause).\n\nColonel L. F. BROWN-Your Excellency,-In the farewell address to which we have just listened, you scarcely touched on the assistance which you have given to the military forces of this Colony in increasing the armament and personnel which are now under this command. Without your assistance I think it would have been scarcely possible to increase the garrison to the extent it now is. But to worthily uphold the British Flag in British waters requires a naval base, which requires protection. The armament and personnel now under this command have been gradually increased during your Governorship, and now the arms and the number of men in this Colony are scarcely inferior to those of Gibraltar. You have also kindly given to us the permission to make use of the uninhabited parts of the New Territory for training our men. I have been lately inspecting them on the slopes of Taimoshan - a perfect training ground; there is no training ground I know in England that is equal to it and the men have learned very valuable lessons there. This constant working on the hillside just as they would be in actual warfare was of the greatest use in making them valuable defenders of the Colony. (Applause). I was watching them shooting the other day. A small squad of men were ready to shoot for 25 seconds at ten small objects placed on the hillside, and before the 25 seconds were up seven of these were knocked over. Regiments that can shoot in that way need not fear the landing of almost any number of men who are not accustomed to hill-climbing or who had not shot or worked in a country of this sort. I have no doubt that if a party from a foreign country arrived in this Colony they would walk into a death-trap. I have also been watching the firing of the new guns lately added to this armament. In range and power they are equal to anything to be seen anywhere, and the batteries of small quick-firing guns are now complete. The firing from them was also rather remarkable. At the small battery at Lyemun vessels representing destroyers going about 15 miles an hour went through the pass, and shots were put on them at the rate of 20 shots a minute. I do not think any destroyers could enter the pass at that rate.",

It is tempered by the knowledge that your administration leaves the Colony in the hands of an able and capable officer who has had the advantage of a long training. (Applause.) Still, sir, we have felt it to be a certainty for some time that your Excellency's services would be required by His Majesty the King elsewhere than in Hongkong, and we have felt the time had arrived in your Excellency's long and illustrious career in the public service of the Empire when you would achieve the highest distinction-namely, the blue ribbon of the service in the Governorship of Ceylon. We congratulate the Civil servants of Ceylon and the Colony generally on the acquisition of yourself as its Governor, and we in this Colony, knowing you so well, predict for you in the administration of the affairs of Ceylon the same conspicuous success that has marked your administration of the affairs of Hongkong. On behalf of the official members of this Council I bid you a respectful farewell. (Applause). \n\n## \n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-I thank you very much, gentlemen, for the kindness with which you have spoken. I feel it very deeply, and I assure you that I entirely concur in one remark that the hon. Attorney-General has made, and that is in the fact that the Colony is to be congratulated that when I leave its shores on Saturday I shall leave its administration in the hands of a man who has the confidence of the whole community, who is well known to you all, who knows this place thoroughly, and whose honesty and integrity are well known to you all.

Blake, G.C.M.G., departed on Saturday to take up the Governorship of Ceylon. The farewell greeting that he got from the community of the Colony was such as to leave a lasting memory in His Excellency's mind of the feelings of respect and affection with which he is regarded by the people of this Colony. Unfortunately, the weather was not auspicious, for it rained steadily all day long and the streets were ankle-deep in mud. Sir Henry Blake was accompanied by Lady Blake and Sir John Keane, A.L.C. The party left Government House shortly after eleven o'clock, in chairs, and proceeded to the City Hall where a large assembly of the citizens had met to present His Excellency with a farewell address. Afterwards, they proceeded to Blake Pier and went by launch out to the P. & O. s.s. Malta by which they are to journey to Ceylon.\n\n### ADDRESS AT THE CITY HALL\n\nFor the occasion, St. Andrew's Hall had been decorated with palm, ferns, and flowers under the superintendence of Mr. W. J. Tutcher of the Botanical and Afforestation Department. A raised platform was placed at the upper end. The Governor's party rode from Government House to the hall by way of Albert Road, past the Government offices into and down Garden Road, and across Queen's Road. The route was lined by the Indian soldiers of the 110th Mahrattas and 93rd Burmas. On arrival at the hall, His Excellency, accompanied by Lady Blake and Sir John Keane, took up his central position on the dais, the assembly standing up meanwhile. When seats had been resumed, His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir William Goodman, wearing his robes, entered by the side door, accompanied by the unofficial members of the Legislative Council and the committee of the Chamber of Commerce as follows: Sir Paul Chater, Hon. Gershom Stewart, Hon. C. W. Dickson, Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hon. Wei Yuk, Messrs. E. A. Hewett, D. R. Law, N. A. Siebs, A. G. Wood, J. R. M. Smith. Among others present in the hall were the Puisne Judge (Mr. A. G. Wise), the Colonial Secretary (Hon. F. H. May, C.M.G.), Hon. L. A. M. Johnston (Acting Colonial Treasurer), Hon. Sir H. S. Berkeley (Attorney-General), Hon. W. Chatham (Director of Public Works), Hon. Basil Taylor (Harbour Master), Hon. A. W. Brewin (Registrar-General), Dr. J. M. Atkinson, Colonel L. F. Brown, Colonel Birdwood, Colonel Wylly, Major Dopping Hepenstall, Messrs. C. A. Tomes, H. W. Looker, H. P. Tooker, A. Ramjohn, M. S. Northcote, H. N. Mody, A. G.

I feel it a great honour to have been specially asked to act on this occasion for those who have signed that address, representing, as they do, not only the British residents but also the various nationalities which go to make up the general community of Hongkong;\n\nof 254 November 1987. 5727 \nand in their name, I will ask your Excellency's permission to read that address and then to add a few words by way of personal expression.\n\nSir William then read the following address: -\n\n**To His Excellency Sir Henry Arthur Blake, G.C.M.G., Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same.**\n\nYour Excellency, - We, the undersigned residents of Hongkong, on the eve of your departure to take up the important post His Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer upon you, desire to express our appreciation of the valuable services rendered to this Colony during your Excellency's term of office here. The administration of a Crown Colony at a distance of more than ten thousand miles from the mother country cannot, even in ordinary times, prove an easy task. We realise that the difficulties attendant upon a peaceful and successful government of this Colony were increased during the earlier period of your Excellency's tenure of office by the disastrous outbreak in the neighbouring Empire, and we are glad to think that at this critical period the government of the Colony was in your able hands.\n\nIt is impossible in the brief space afforded us by an address to go into detail as to the various phases of your Excellency's administration, but we would specially refer to a few of the more important.\n\nDuring your term of office, the boundaries of the Colony have been extended from 27 square miles to 400 square miles, an increase which naturally adds largely to the work of administration, and we rejoice to feel that the disturbances and resistance met with in taking over the New Territory were promptly and decisively overcome, and that the population have since maintained a peaceful and contented attitude, indicating the satisfaction they feel with the system of Government it has fallen upon your Excellency to introduce and administer for the last five years.\n\nThe projects for the erection of various urgently needed public buildings, notably the new Post Office, have been accelerated through your Excellency's personal endeavours.\n\nAmong other questions which have engaged your Excellency's attention has been the extending of the road-system of the Colony, and in particular the opening-up of the New Territory by the construction of the main Tai-po Road.\n\nThe proposed Praya East Reclamation Scheme, the immense importance of which your Excellency was prompt to recognise and strongly advocated, has up to the present been found impossible of execution owing to difficulties with certain of the authorities in England, but we trust that your efforts to secure this desired expansion of the city will ultimately be crowned with success.\n\nThe burning question of the site for the Naval Dock Yard has been dealt with so recently that it is unnecessary here to go into details, but the protest made by the Colony against the Admiralty scheme was warmly supported by your Excellency, who fully recognised the injury it would entail upon the City of Victoria. In this connection, we can assure you that the earnest endeavours made by your Excellency to induce the Naval Authorities to reconsider their adverse decision, and thus secure for the city an unbroken sea-front and its legitimate expansion, will be gratefully remembered.\n\nThe last and most important act of your Excellency's administration in this Colony has been the founding of the Hongkong Improvement Trust, which we are convinced will have far-reaching effects and will confer upon the Colony incalculable benefits which will last so long as Hongkong continues to be a centre for trade in the Far East.\n\nIt is, however, when we consider the health of the Colony, on which our prosperity so vitally depends, that the debt of gratitude which we owe to your Excellency becomes most manifest.\n\nThe all-important question of the Colony's water-supply has occupied much of your attention, particularly the most necessary works which you have inaugurated at ...",

        "content_text": "## Address to His Excellency Sir Henry Arthur Blake, G.C.M.G., on his Departure from Hong Kong\n\nRectract from Hong Kong Daily Press of 23rd November 1907.\n\nKowloon and Tytam, and we hope that, under the rider-main system now being adopted, an effective check upon the waste of water will result.\n\nWe would specially refer to your Excellency's devotion in dealing with the grave question of the periodical outbreaks of bubonic plague in the Colony, which have for so many years hampered our trade and checked our progress.\n\nThe self-imposed task carried out by your Excellency last summer in dealing with the plague in sectional blocks and your efforts to promote habits of personal cleanliness among the poorer classes of the Chinese... would alone suffice to render the Colony your lasting debtor.\n\nWe are further indebted to your Excellency for your constant support of the efforts made to secure the effective opening of the West River, and for the privilege accorded of an additional number of ports of call, resulting in a large increase to the traffic and a corresponding advantage to the trade of Hongkong. The warm interest exhibited by your Excellency in the important subject of education has been much appreciated in view of the increase in the juvenile population, for whom provision has had to be made in order that they may be thoroughly equipped for the battle of life, which here, as elsewhere, grows yearly more strenuous.\n\nThe encouragement which you have given to all healthy out-door sports and pastimes, in so many of which you actively participate, has been most valuable as an example of the benefit to be derived from physical exercise and recreation in an enervating climate.\n\nIn taking leave of your Excellency, it is satisfactory to know that, when you leave these shores, your ripe experience will still be utilised in the service of the Empire, and we cordially wish you all success in your new sphere of labour. We also trust that, when the time arrives for you to lay down the cares and burdens of the public service, both your Excellency and Lady Blake will long enjoy in your native land the leisured ease you have so well earned, and that good health and happiness will always attend you.\n\nWe have the honour to be, Sir,\n\nYour Excellency's Obedient Humble servants.\n\n[here follow signatures.]\n\n## Sir William Goodman's Speech\n\nContinued.-It was, I think, in 1886, on my homeward voyage from another colony where I was Chief Justice, that I first had the honour of meeting your Excellency and Lady Blake at Nassau, when you were Governor of the Bahamas. I recollect how much I appreciated the kindly hospitality I, a passing stranger, experienced on that occasion from you both, at Government House. How little did I then imagine that, seventeen years later, I should, as Chief Justice of Hongkong, have the pleasure of reading an address to your Excellency on your departure from this Far Eastern colony. But it is the unexpected which so often happens; and now, after four most successful terms of office as Governor of four different Colonies, your Excellency is about, as Governor of Ceylon, to enter upon another episode in your varied and brilliant career.\n\nIn a few short hours, you will have left our shores. Our rocky island-with its ever-increasing swarm of thrifty and industrious workers, its noble edifices, as well as its crowded tenements, its open-handed, large-hearted, far-seeing, and enterprising mercantile community, its garrison, its forts, its ships, its band of Civil servants-all will have sunk beneath the horizon. The present will have become the past, and the five years of your administration of the Colony will be to you a matter of recollection only.\n\nThe years and months pass rapidly, but, as the Roman epigrammatic poet wrote, nineteen hundred years ago, \"Pereunt et imputantur.\" They are placed to our account, and I venture to think that, in the retrospect, your Excellency will have abundant cause for satisfaction in the work that has been accomplished during your period of office here.\n\nA former Governor of this Colony, in replying to an address, once said, \"The only reward a Governor can look to is the approbation of his Sovereign, the confidence of the colonists, and the success of those measures which he has put forward in the belief that they will be beneficial to the welfare and stability of the Colony in which his lot has been cast.\" The important appointment which His Majesty has conferred upon you shows that you have gained the Royal approbation. The address which I have read demonstrates the feeling of the Colonists towards you; and a consideration of even the Ordinances and Orders in Council for the last five years cannot fail to impress any impartial person who, like myself, is familiar with their result, with the conclusion that on the whole they have been most beneficial and useful.\n\nIn whatever direction we look, we see signs of progress and improvement. If we look towards the harbour, we see the near completion of that splendid work, the Praya Reclamation, and if we look further northward, across the harbour, we see a vast increase of territory rescued from comparative lawlessness, pierced by an excellent road, honestly policed, and destined in the future to form no unimportant portion of this growing and energetic Colony. If we look southward towards the Hill district, we find not only new roads, new and handsome houses, but new hospitals, completed or being built, in which I trust much suffering will be relieved, and many convalescents will be restored to health and strength. If we look towards the east, we will find a foreshore and land now covered by the sea, but hereafter destined, when the grand Eastern Reclamation Scheme, of which your Excellency has approved, is carried out, to form no insignificant portion of the improved City of Victoria. If we look towards the west, we find hundreds of commodious new buildings and that excellently graded Jubilee Road, which is now completed to Aberdeen, and which I trust will some day be carried round the Island. And if we look at the city itself, we see handsome edifices springing up all around, some of the finest within a stone's throw of the hall in which we are now meeting; we see electric tram-lines being laid from one end of the city to the other, and we find law and order, as much as it does in a European city, reigning amongst an industrious and prosperous community.\n\nNow, these are simple facts which cannot be gainsaid. The signs of material progress are all around us, and, considering the geographical position of this Colony and the constant changes in its population, I venture to say its social and moral progress has been of a most hopeful character during the term of your Excellency's administration.\n\nBut I will not longer detain you. I will only, in the name of those who signed the address, wish your Excellency a hearty farewell, a pleasant voyage, and happiness and prosperity in your future career. (Loud applause.)\n\n## His Excellency's Response\n\nWhen the applause had subsided, HIS EXCELLENCY said- Sir William Goodman, ladies, and gentlemen,-I thank you, and through you the community who have signed this beautiful album, for your expression of goodwill, feeling that is, I assure you, warmly reciprocated by Lady Blake and myself. You are kind enough to recapitulate certain incidents that have occurred during my administration, and your friendship attributes to me a larger share in the inception and carrying out of those projects than is always my due. The material progress of this great port is secured by the collective capacity and energy of the community, and no one realises more fully than I that in such progress I have been the fly upon the wheel. But it is a happiness to me to know that the wheel has been going round merrily, that no sand has been allowed to get into the bearings, and that, notwithstanding the present universal depression that will, I hope, soon pass away, Hongkong is as sound and insistent in abounding energy and ever-increasing prosperity as when I came among you. (Applause).\n\nI have, according to my lights, taken the share of the work that fell to my lot, and I accept with gratification your assurance that I have done it to your satisfaction. (Applause). But to one thing I confess that I shall always look back with the keenest pleasure. I have secured, with the entire concurrence of the Chinese authorities of Canton, that never again shall any man surrendered from under the folds of the British flag be subjected to the harrowing tortures that are still so prevalent in Chinese judicial proceedings. (Applause).\n\nPage 93",

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

In May last, the District Magistrate in the New Territories drew attention in a report, of which a copy is enclosed, to the difficulty he was experiencing in dealing with cases of wives deserting their husbands.\n\n3. Further enquiry showed that in some cases the wives had returned to their parents, while in others they had gone to live with other men; and that while in some instances cruelty and want of support by their husbands were the causes of their desertion, in others no such reasons existed, and the desertion was apparently due to the newly discovered immunity from the consequences which under Chinese rule would have followed such action.\n\n4. I enclose a copy of an extract from a minute by Dr. Ho Kai, who was consulted in this matter, which shows that under Chinese Law, a wife who deserts her husband is liable to severe punishment, and in view of this fact, it was considered that the effect of the legislation which has been passed...\n\n## Enclosure 5.\n\nMay, 1883.\n\n**THE RIGHT HONOURABLE  \nALFRED LYTTELTON, M.P.,**  \n&c.,  \n&c.,  \n&c.",

For some time it was found possible to persuade the wives to return or perhaps to secure the repayment of the purchase money to the husband or natives of exactly equal satisfaction; but one or two more than usually obstinate cases have revealed the fact that neither the Police nor the Magistrate have any power of enforcing a decision. The result is that every case is now an obstinate one, and the cases are multiplying.\n\n2. On May 8th, I had such a case at Ping Shan, when a number of elders who were interested were present. In our discussion it appeared that in China there is a regulation - or a custom by which pressure is brought to bear on anyone who harbours a runaway wife; and the want of some such regulation is sorely felt in the New Territory, as the wives now have matters all in their own way. The great majority of the inhabitants of the New Territory are very poor, and it needs a deal of saving and scraping to get together the money necessary for the purchase of the wife and various marriage expenses: and to save a second such sum, anything from about $100 upwards, it would seem to be almost out of the question.\n\n3. I see no remedy for this state of things except powers to enforce the return of the wife or the repayment of the purchase money. Not the least advantage of this suggestion...",

This point I did not discuss with the Elders.\n\n5.\n\nThe Elders present on May 8th, were only some of one district: but they pledged themselves confidently as to the probable views of all the New Territory.\n\nI have etc.,\n\n(Sd.) **F.

I am of opinion, however, that the journey supposed to be covered by the lectures and slides should begin at a more easterly point than Ceylon. I see no reason why Hongkong and Singapore, with their immense shipping, should not be included, and I would suggest that the supposed journey should start from Hongkong, which with 23,000,000 tons of shipping is now, I think, the largest Shipping Port in the Empire. This, however, is a detail which can be arranged at a later date. But in case the suggestion may meet with approval, I am having prepared some photographs of this Colony which will be sent to you in due course. When the scheme has been definitely established and the lectures prepared, I propose to ask the Legislative Council to vote the sum necessary for the purchase of the lantern and accessories, with the lectures, and have little doubt...\n\nThe Right Honourable  \nALFRED LYTTELTON, M.P.,  \n&c., &c.",

Chatham, Director of Public Works, and Mr. Bruce Shepherd, Land Officer, for remuneration in connection with work done by them for the Praya Reclamation.\n\n2. There is no doubt that both Officers have had a great deal of extra work over and above their ordinary duties, thrown upon them on account of the Reclamation, especially in its earlier stage in the case of Mr. Shepherd, though in the Land Office in recent years such work might fairly be included in the ordinary routine of the Department. On this latter account, therefore, I do not consider that Mr. Wakeman has any good claim for consideration.\n\n3. After consultation with Sir C. P. Chater, who informed me that he feels sure the Marine Lot holders would have no objection, I have come to the conclusion that a bonus of $2,000 to each Officer would meet the case, especially if the Reclamation is carried out at the estimated cost.\n\n4. The excess caused by a sum of $4,000 when spread over the whole Reclamation would be so small in the case...\n\nmade to any Eir in iment saved by the deed of 1898. I strongly recommend that this bonus be generally following the principle calling for forced labour in this connection, that no payment for overtime work is but subordinate officers. I should like to avoid argument by saying that C.P. Chater has already received his reward by being appointed C.P.W. It will be seen that suggested either a salary increase of the 1898 deed. I think we must approve from Gov't funds C.P.L at once.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE \nALFRED LYTTELTON, M.P., \n\n8cc... \n800. \n8cc...",

It is, I think, within your knowledge that my duties have occupied more time than the Government could reasonably claim from me, and I now therefore respectfully request that the question of granting me a bonus may be referred to the Secretary of State.\n\n3. It appears certain that the cost of the entire Reclamation Scheme will not exceed, or will exceed to a very slight extent, the amount of the original estimate. In view of the large increase in prices which has occurred during the past 5 or 6 years, this result must be regarded as very satisfactory. It has only been accomplished by practising every possible economy which could be introduced in the construction of the work without in any way detracting from its stability.\n\n4. In connection with this matter, I would point out that it was on my advice and in opposition to the strong advice of Mr. Bowdler, who was then in charge of the work, that the extreme Western section of the scheme was carried...",

The question as to the advisability of carrying out this portion of the scheme had arisen in consequence of opposition on the part of the lot-holders affected by it, who declined to assent to it and, though several of them gave their assent after it had been finally decided to proceed with the work, others did not do so, with the result that certain portions of the reclamation were carried out at the expense of the Government and became its property on completion. Basing an estimate upon the recent sale of part of this land, the gain to Government, after deducting the actual cost of reclaiming the area which fell into its hands and the compensation paid to the dissenting lot-holders will be as follows:- \n\n| Item | Square Feet | Rate | Amount |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Sale of land which has become the property of the Government | 4,950 | $8.78 | $43,500 |\n| Deduct cost of reclaiming land | 24,950 | $2.17 | $54,200 |\n| Deduct amount paid as compensation to dissenting lot-holders |  |  | $44,500 |\n| Net gain to Government |  |  | $120,300 |\n\nIn addition to the above, an annual return of $1,100 will in future be received in the shape of Crown Rent from the portion of reclamation referred to.\n\n6.\n\nI trust that, in view of the facts mentioned, my application may be favourably entertained and that His Excellency the Governor may see fit to recommend it to the Secretary of State.\n\nI have etc.,\n\n**(sgd.)** K.

The Praya Reclamation Ordinance was passed on the 10th May, 1889, and provided that the assenting Crown Lessees should signify in writing their acceptance of the land assigned to them on the Reclamation plan within two months and that the Governor should enter into the Praya Reclamation Agreements with such Lessees within the period of one further month from a fixed date, the last mentioned date expiring on Saturday the 28th October, 1889.\n\n2. About the middle of September, 1889, Sir William Des Voeux then Governor requested Mr. (now Sir Paul) Chater, as the representative of the Marine Lot-holders to see me. He told me that nothing had been done by anyone to make a start under the Praya Reclamation Ordinance and as the time limited by the Ordinance was expiring the Governor was afraid the work could not be done in time in which case the Ordinance would come to an end and he would be stultified in consequence and although at the time I was doing the work of Acting Registrar of the Supreme Court in addition to my Land Office duties the Governor and Sir Paul Chater requested I would devise the means and methods of getting the work done within the limited time.",

All the Marine Lot-holders came into the scheme except 8.\n\n5. It was then necessary to get the Agreements prepared, and to save time, Governor Sir G.

The necessary printing of the Agreements and preparation of the attached plans were not sufficiently completed until the 23rd October - leaving only 3 days to get the Agreements signed.

The Lessees began to call on the 24th, and came in increasing numbers on the 25th, and it was not until late on Saturday the 26th, the very last day, that the last of the Agreements could be signed by me on behalf of the Governor. During these three days, I had to work almost continually all day and far into the night to keep matters straight.\n\n7. When I found that many of the Lessees were bringing with them their first deposit of 25 per cent, I sent into the Treasury and also to the Governor through the Colonial Secretary for assistance in counting and collecting the money, but it was not until the following week that arrangements could be made.\n\n8.

The fact that it may hereafter increase in value as the development of the New Territory progresses, is fully recognised, but this Government is anxious to meet the requirements of the Naval Authorities in this matter, as in all cases where Imperial interests are involved, and I recommend that the grant may be sanctioned on the usual condition that the land revert to the Colony free of charge upon its ceasing to be used for the purpose for which it is granted, and on the additional understanding that it shall not be transferred by the Admiralty to any other Department without the previous consent of this Government.\n\nI understand that it will entirely satisfy the requirements of the Naval Authorities in Mirs Bay and that they will demand no further exclusive privileges in the neighbourhood of Long Harbour beyond the reservation of the new Man-of-War Anchorage described in the first enclosure to this Despatch. No further action, therefore, need be taken in respect of the much larger area indicated as a proposed Naval Reserve in the enclosure to your predecessor's Despatch under reference.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, \n\nYour most obedient \n\nHumble servant, \n\n**Ag.

I approve of the proposals of the Director of Public Works (with the exception that the land should in my opinion be granted as a new and separate lot and not as an extension to the Company's existing property which is held under a 999 years lease) and have the honour to recommend them for your favourable consideration. As the Dock Company own all the property to the East of Hill Street, the closing of the portions of Hill Street and Bulkeley Street shown on the plan attached to the Director of Public Works' letter can be effected without interfering with the rights of others, provided that condition (c) mentioned in Mr. Chatham's letter is imposed.

It is unfortunate that Dr. Wright does not find himself in agreement with the recommendations made by the Examiners, as they have met with the full approval of the Governing Body and of the Government. I have had an interview with him on the subject, as I was anxious to find a way out of what appeared to be a deadlock, and Dr. Wright then informed me that though he did not concur in the recommendations he would adopt them if requested to do so by Government, but would not accept any responsibility for the results. He also asked for specific instructions as to the method in which the Governing Body wished colloquial English and the reading of English to be conducted in the school. The accompanying notes which were furnished by the Inspector of Schools at my request have been sent to Dr. Wright for his information and guidance.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE  \nALFRED LYTTELTON, M.P.  \n...  \n800.  \n&c.  \n&c.  \n\n### Enclosure 1\n### Enclosure 2\n5th November, 1903.",

The subjects are fixed, not variable from year to year as stated. The only class, in which Special subjects are variable, is Class I; and it is absolutely necessary that this should be so, as this is the only class where boys (with the exception of failures) remain for more than one year, some non-Chinese boys remaining in Class I as many as three years. It is manifestly undesirable in the interests of education for the same boys to study the same Geographical and Historical subjects for two or three years.\n\n9.\n\nOxford Local Examinations are well known and highly esteemed in Great Britain and the Colonies. The papers are corrected by numerous examiners scattered all over England, their marking being revised by several sub-committees in Oxford. The system ensures a fair and thorough examination of all the candidates, and provides a useful safeguard to the honour and reputation of any school. The results just received of the work done last July at this Centre are notably successful, particularly as regards Queen's College. It should therefore be evident that the work of the Upper School cannot really be so bad, as the Report under review indicates. It appears a distinct pity for the Examiners to go out of their way to condemn an examination which stimulates education and induces boys to remain in school.\n\n10.\n\nColloquial English.

Occasion is there taken to attack the system which produces good results, and which here is called \"foolish\" and **page 7** \"quite indefensible\". The method objected to is as follows. On account of the difference in order of words in the two languages (English and Chinese) it is necessary first to give a Chinese equivalent for each English word. If the Chinese idiom were given without explanation, the boys might associate the English word with the wrong Chinese character, e.g., \"How are you ?\" \"Ni Ho a\" (You well eh ?).

This is necessarily a slow process, and as a consequence but few pages can be explained in a week. If the Reading were confined to the amount explained, it would soon be memorised, and cease to be a Reading lesson at all. For this reason my predecessor (Dr. Stewart) and I caused the boys to read several pages beyond the matter explained, a practice which is in harmony with the requirement of those Reading Books for each standard in England.\n\n## 13. Geography\n\nThe objection of Mr. Grant, Pembroke, Cambridge, was not so much to the questions set in I/E as to those that were not set. Geography is divided into various heads, Physical, Descriptive, Commercial, Mathematical, Political and Historical. The great bulk of teaching is usually on the first four, though the last two should not be ignored. To have no questions whatever set on the first four heads nullifies the test set. Question 2 can only be viewed as a jest; a large proportion of Hongkong Police being British (mostly Scotch) and Chinese, therefore not hailing from India at all.\n\n## 14.\n\nMasters, in some incomprehensible manner, appear to be blamed because their scholars were acquainted with the different forms of Government in various European Countries, and with the tributaries (one, historic) of the important River Thames. They are also blamed because the boys could not describe the meadow land, that lies on the banks of the Thames, as of most English Rivers. Pictures of \"brick farm houses, wagons, and country lanes\" may be useful for imparting General Intelligence but can hardly come under the head of even Descriptive Geography.

With much hesitation I submit the following. I feel that a trained Master would regard them as common-place, and an untrained Master would make little use of them.\n\n## Time given to the study\n\nThe subjects in the two lowest Standards, which alone I am considering, are Arithmetic, Writing, Colloquial and Reading. Geography and Grammar are subsidiary subjects of which the elements may be acquired in the process of teaching Reading and Colloquial.\n\nArithmetic need not be taught for more than 1 hour a day at the most. At this rate, the four rules can be mastered within a year.\n\n## Writing\n\nThe mechanical art of forming letters and words quickly and correctly is easily learned by Chinese boys. Dictation of a few sentences daily is desirable, but need not take more than half an hour. Transcription, or copying out a passage neatly, is good practice. This can well be done as a home-lesson.\n\nAt least 3 hours daily are left for teaching Colloquial and Reading, which is ample and as much as a teacher can manage if working at high pressure.\n\n## Reading\n\n### (a) from a Reader\n\nIf the lesson is in the form of a story or narrative, the teacher should explain beforehand the general sense of what is to be read. As each paragraph is read, he should take care to see that the gist of it...",

The lessees were originally squatters who were granted the short leases referred to in connection with a scheme for the improvement of the condition of Taikoktsui, which was undertaken in 1896 as a result of a Report by a Committee appointed by Sir William Robinson to enquire into the Sanitary state of that village.\n\n3. It is now desirable that the short Lease then granted should be exchanged for longer ones, and a petition to that effect has been received by the Government. It cannot be expected that they will involve themselves in any considerable expense in the improvement of their existing dwellings unless they are assured that their occupation will not be terminated when the present short Leases expire; and it is expedient that every inducement should be offered to them to keep their buildings in a good sanitary condition.

It was never intended that the Land Court should have power to do more than investigate claims to land and report thereon to the Governor. It was always intended, and that intention still prevails, that the ultimate right to grant a title or to refuse a title should rest with the Governor, which clearly appears in section 14 of the Land Court Ordinance, 1900. \n\nNo inconvenience will be caused to anyone by the passing of this Ordinance because no land has yet been brought under the operation of the Ordinance.\n\n## INTER OFFICE MEMORANDUM\n\n| Label | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| FOR USE IN | EASTERN |\n| No. | 88 |\n| COLONIAL OFFICE |  |\n| Governor.

I believe the line would pay independently of the steamers and there is no doubt that it would benefit the colony enormously. We want more elbow room and more money to pace with this fast-growing colony and it would help us to both water works, and other works, more than anything else, including the railway.\n\nI shall copy this to the Governor, saying that Mr Lyttelton attaches very great importance to the proposed Hongkong & Canton railway, but whether in London there are any political objections to such a scheme is uncertain.

(20 Jan 1884)\n\nTell them our objection to the course performed, but the views of the British & Chinese Corporation will probably be that if the Govt. of Hongkong were to undertake this work, it would require a guarantee of interest on the Capital required, a proposition which could not be lightly entertained.\n\nPage 2211 \nlouce.",

If such a scheme were carried out the supremacy of this Port as an emporium of trade for South China would be seriously threatened, and the effect on its prosperity and future expansion might be disastrous.\n\nA.\n\nApart, however, from that consideration it is to the interest of this Colony that the railway from here to Canton should be constructed as soon as possible.

        "content_text": "# Objects and Reasons\n\nThe object of this amending Ordinance is to effect certain amendments in the Principal Ordinance principally on the recommendation of the Sanitary Board.\n\nThe practical working of the Ordinance has shown these amendments to be necessary. An amendment is also made in the Arbitration clauses by which power is conferred upon the arbitrators, provided for in the Ordinance, to take into their consideration, in determining the amount of compensation which may be payable in any given case, the fact that the rental of the premises is enhanced by reason of its being overcrowded; and by direction of the Secretary of State amendments are made to various sections of the Principal Ordinance by which a Sanitary Department is created and the Principal Civil Medical Officer is constituted its Administrative Head.\n\nIn order to give effect to the Board's recommendation a new definition of the expression \"external air\" is submitted to Council. The Board having reported that section 48 of the Principal Ordinance as it stands is unworkable, this section is repealed by the Amending Ordinance and has been recast to accord with the Board's recommendation. The object is to expedite and facilitate legal action in case of overcrowding. The present procedure is too cumbersome.\n\nA similar course is taken with respect to sections 153 and 154 of the Principal Ordinance; and on the recommendation of the Board sub-sections (3) and (4) of section 175 are transposed in the Amending Ordinance.\n\nThe Amending Ordinance also deletes the last clause (the proviso) of section 46 of the Principal Ordinance. This has been done on the recommendation of the Sanitary Board because as the section stands it is found to prevent any finality in determining the number of persons who may inhabit a floor as by altering the size of a cubicle a man may at present increase or decrease the number of persons allowed. The proviso was a concession made at the time when it was believed that every third house would be taken down and lateral windows in cubicles thereby provided.\n\nThe words \"room\" and \"cubicle\" heretofore having in many instances the same meaning will for the future have a distinct meaning and be dealt with under separate sections of the Ordinance, and by the amendments made at the Board's suggestion \"cubicle\" (i.e., a sub-division of a room) as soon as it has a window one-tenth of the floor area becomes a \"room\". The amendments therefore do not prevent \"cubicles\" in future houses but only prevent the existence of windowless cubicles except where such cubicles exist in rooms which are themselves sufficiently lighted.\n\nThe Ordinance also amends the arbitration section 251 by providing that whenever a claim to compensation is intended to be made the claim shall be submitted to the Colonial Secretary on the same date as the plans relating to the works in respect of which such compensation is claimed are deposited with the Building Authority; and also by providing that where the claim to compensation is in respect of a matter with regard to which powers of exemption or modification are vested in the Board or the Governor in Council the claimant shall await the decision of the Board or the Governor in Council before proceeding with the works.\n\nThese amendments are necessary because it has occurred in practice that a claim has been sent in several months after the plans were deposited though there was no specific indication on the plan that such claim would be made and subsequently when it was found to be expedient to exercise powers of exemption under the Ordinance it was too late to do so as the building was already in course of erection.\n\nHENRY S. BERKELEY,  \nAttorney General.  \nPage 198",

I have been advised by the Executive Council to submit his case to you for special consideration; not only on account of the generally good character which he has borne during the nine years he has served in the Force but also in view of the fact that he was actually returning from attendance at a fire.\n\n**THE RIGHT HONOURABLE  \nALFRED LYTTELTON, M.P.**",

I told Sergeant Perkins I had hurt my foot. I used the usual remedies for a strain but the pain got worse; on the 10th I went to Government Civil Hospital. Dr. Bell examined the foot and gave me a note stating I had strained the tendons, and prescribed treatment. I got leave from Ag. Dep. Supt. of Police.

Secretary, \nChina Association, \nLONDON. \n\nDear Sir, \n\nReferring to my letter of the 4th inst on the question of the opening of Walchow to foreign trade as a treaty port, I now beg to lay the views of my Committee thereon before you at length. \n\nSome particulars concerning this large and populous city may not be out of place. It is situated on the East River directly north of New Territory or Kowloon Hinterland, and is connected with the shore of Mirs Bay by (for China) a good and fairly straight footpath through a country free from natural obstacles. The Waichow prefecture contains an industrious and flourishing population, and the soil is rich and productive. A tributary of the East River divides the city from another busy town called Kweishin. Walchow is not accessible by water except by small native craft, the East River at that point being swift and shallow. \n\nAt present, therefore, the communication with this thriving and populous district is circuitous and tedious. Its value to Hongkong would be very great if brought within easy access, as it would lead to a development of trade and probable increase in the labour supply of the Colony, a matter of great moment. \n\nIt is therefore eminently desirable that the opening of it to British trade should not be deferred until the doubtful period of general acceptance by the Treaty Powers of the Provisions of Article of the Mackay Treaty; and the Committee will be glad if you will be so good as to represent to the Foreign Office the importance to the Colony of Hongkong and to British trade of pressing the Chinese Government to have this stipulation of the Treaty being carried into effect simultaneously.",

The latter is now being actively prosecuted by the American-Belgian Syndicate, to whom the concession was granted; but up to the present moment the British Syndicate who obtained the right to continue the line from Canton to Kowloon, have given no sign of activity in connection therewith. The Committee feel strongly that the interests both of this Colony and of British trade are being endangered by this delay, and that British prestige is also suffering from the apparent want of enterprise on the part of the British Syndicate.\n\nThere is, moreover, in the background a further but no less real danger... to which the late Governor of Hongkong (Sir Henry Blake) forcibly alluded in his farewell speech to the community, on the eve of his departure for Ceylon on the 20th ulto. After referring to the Sanitary progress of the Colony, His Excellency said :- \"But great as is the importance of the structural improvement of Hongkong, there is a matter of greater and more pressing moment that I might wish to bring forcibly before you in these last moments before I leave your shores. That is the pressing necessity of utilising the British Concession that has been granted for a railway from Canton to the borders of our territory. That concession has been granted to a British Syndicate, and it is their duty to utilise it and supply the natural seaport terminus to the great arterial line, lest possible developments be sought inimical to the interests of Hongkong. We have not built up our Empire by being laggards in the race for developments necessary for the expansion of the trade of the world, and 'He who would not wait upon I would' has never conquered a position nor retained it fit for either men or nations\". These sentences were most earnestly endorsed by the assembly addressed, and a very real anxiety now prevails... \n\nHon",

From thence, following up this latter valley, the line should run north to Hon Lan, and from there through a fertile country up to Sheklung, a populous town in the Tungkun district. The East River would have to be crossed near Sheklung, and the line should then take a direction due West towards Canton, through a densely inhabited district. Between Sheklung and Canton some bridging would be necessary, owing to the creeks and tributaries, but none requiring a large span, with the exception of that across the East River near the former place.\n\nAs a lucrative feeder to this main line, and as essential to the development of trade with Waichow, I would suggest that a branch be laid from Sheklung to Waichow. It would be only about thirty miles in length, its construction would be comparatively simple. The country is flat and the streams to be crossed are narrow and could be bridged at small cost. The estimated total length of the railway from Kowloon to Canton, if laid on the above route, is about one hundred miles, making, with the proposed branch to Waichow, some 130 miles in all. They would traverse a country teeming with population and rich in natural products. They would clash with no vested interests, such as the river steamboat companies, for they would not follow the same line of country, and they would not even touch Poklo, which is already well served by the great waterway on which it is situated.\n\nThe enterprise is a tempting one in spite of some few engineering difficulties in the New Territory, and if these are regarded as so...",

But it is absolutely false, as alleged by certain correspondents at Shanghai, that Belgian shareholders have insisted upon a separation of their interests, with a view to obtaining exclusive control for Belgium of the northern section of the line. What is true is that the Belgian shareholders have strongly opposed, and will continue to oppose, any policy which tends to prejudice the unity of the American China Development Company, and that they will continue to use every effort in their power to bring about the prompt and complete success of the enterprise, and the due execution of the engagements which the company has undertaken.\n\n213",

The reason given at \"A\" was that eventually it would be irregular & inconvenient and should not be followed in future.\n\nAs to passage \"B\" in paragraph 4, the point is that the pay of the Assistant Magistrate and the second magistrate are on the same incremental scale, viz $4800 # $32000 by $300 triennially, but he Gompertz has already passed his first increment and In Hazeland does not care his. Thus, until some time during 1904, if In Gompertz drew the two salaries only, he would receive rather less than his proper pay of $559, but then we should allow that the difference should be paid out of the magistrate's pay. It would not be wise.\n\nIn other words, he should draw $2700 as bol teco pay & $2400 from the salary of Record map until the date at which the latter attains the salary of $5000. Thereafter he would draw $2650 from each post.\n\nThe last Despatch addressed to your predecessor on the subject of the Land Settlement in the New Territories was Sir Henry Blake's Despatch No. 295 of the 18th June last.\n\n3. Matters have undergone some alteration since then and the present position is as follows. The two important cases referred to in the 2nd paragraph of that Despatch have not been referred back to the Land Court to assess compensation, but the Government has appealed against the decisions of the Land Court under Ordinance No. 13 of 1903.\n\nThese appeal cases are about to come on for hearing in the Supreme Court and should be settled shortly. Mr. Gompertz has been employed since the writing of the Despatch referred to above principally in hearing some very large and important claims to foreshore and seabed which were among the cases referred to in the 4th paragraph.\n\nThe Honourable  \nALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C., M.P.\n\nPage 220  \n1513  \nJAN 04  \nEnclosure.  \nNo.578  \nFaskong.  \nSir,  \nDraft C.PL. 211  \n22 atance  \nAbo 2.",

He will draw half of Assistant Colonial Secretary's and half of Second Magistrate's pay; the difference from his own full pay, which is very small, being made up to him out of the Magistracy Vote. Mr. Kemp will be transferred to the Sanitary Department to take up his appointment as Assistant Secretary.\n\nMr. Gompertz has done a great deal of work in the Land Court. He has been painstaking and industrious, but he has not been business-like in his methods, and I fear that less real progress has been made than in the time devoted to the work ought to have been made, and that much of the work done must, owing to the want of surveys on a large enough scale for land settlement purposes and to consequent inaccuracies and mistakes, be done over again.\n\n#### (2)\n\nThe whole of the work in connection with the land settlement will from the 1st. of January next be placed",

This would hardly be a substantial grievance, since the effect on promotion would be precisely the same.",

It was anticipated that by making considerable structural alterations, owners of property would be able to contrive to light and ventilate cubicles in existing buildings by a window for each, in a very large number of cases at any rate, and an inducement was held out to them to incur the expense of doing so by adding to Section 46 of the Ordinance the proviso that a cubicle duly provided with a window might be occupied in the proportion of one adult to every 30 Square Feet of habitable floor space and 400 Cubic Feet of internal air space. It was hoped also, as explained in the 5th paragraph of Sir Henry Blake's Despatch No. 116 of the 10th of March last, to avoid by this concession some of the difficulties of enforcing the definition of overcrowding embodied in Messrs. Chadwick and Simpson's Bill.\n\nUnfortunately, when put to the test of practical application, the scheme of providing existing cubicles with windows has been found to be impracticable, owing in great measure to the structural weakness of the majority of the old Chinese houses in the City.\n\n10.\n\nIn these circumstances, the question had to be re-considered. It is impossible to abolish cubicles altogether.",

Cubicles fill this want, and owing to the structural form of existing Chinese houses it is necessary that a limited number of windowless cubicles should be permitted on floors that are properly lit and ventilated. For, if it is sought to obtain the necessary window area for a cubicle by building the cubicle round one of the two windows (or round two out of three windows where there are 3) of the floor of a Chinese house, it is found that the remaining window will seldom, if ever, be sufficient to provide the minimum window area required by law for the remaining portion of the room.\n\nThe enclosed copy of a Petition on the subject with the accompanying plan of an ordinary Chinese floor with three windows in the usual positions will render the matter quite clear.\n\n11.\n\nIt became evident, therefore, that an alteration of the law was imperative. The provisions of Section 19 of the amending Ordinance submitted herewith coupled with the repeal of the proviso to Section 46 of the principal Ordinance practically put this question of cubicles back into the position in which it found itself in Messrs.* Chadwick and Simpson's draft Bill, with this difference, that cubicle and room are now separately defined (see Section 2) and that the window areas required for a room in existing buildings is reduced from a glazed area of not less than one-tenth of the floor area of such room, to an area equal to at least ... exposure...",

        "content_text": "Amendments are also made by which a Sanitary Department is created and the Principal Civil Medical Officer is constituted its administrative head.\n\nTo give effect to the recommendation of the Building Authority and the Sanitary Board, the expression \"external air\" has been given a more exact definition.\n\nThe Board having reported that section 48 of the Principal Ordinance as it stands is unworkable, that section is repealed and has been recast to accord with the Board's recommendation. The object is to expedite and facilitate legal action in case of overcrowding.\n\nA similar course is taken with respect to sections 153 and 154; and on the recommendation of the Board, sub-sections (3) and (4) of section 175 are transposed.\n\nThe last clause (the proviso) of section 46 has been deleted. This has been done because, as the section stands, it is found to prevent any finality in determining the number of persons who may inhabit a floor. The proviso was a concession made at the time when it was believed that every third house would be taken down and lateral windows in cubicles thereby provided.\n\nThe words \"room\" and \"cubicle\" heretofore having in many instances the same meaning will for the future have a distinct meaning and be dealt with under separate sections of the Ordinance, and by the amendments made, a \"cubicle\" (i.e., a sub-division of a room) as soon as it has a window one-tenth of the floor area becomes a \"room\". The amendments therefore do not prevent \"cubicles\" in future houses but only prevent the existence of windowless cubicles except where such cubicles exist in rooms which are themselves sufficiently lighted.\n\nThe arbitration section 251 is amended by providing that whenever a claim to compensation is intended to be made, the claim shall be submitted to the Colonial Secretary on the same date as the plans relating to the works in respect of which such compensation is claimed are deposited with the Building Authority; and also by providing that where the claim to compensation is in respect of a matter with regard to which powers of exemption or modification are vested in the Board or the Governor in Council, the claimant shall await the decision of the Board or the Governor in Council before proceeding with the works.\n\nThese amendments are necessary because it has occurred in practice that a claim has been sent in several months after plans were deposited, though there was no specific indication on the plan that such a claim would be made, and subsequently, when it was found to be expedient to exercise powers of exemption under the Ordinance, it was too late to do so as the building was already in course of erection.\n\nAlunzt.

Your Petitioners are residing in Chinese houses in Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong.\n\n2. Your Petitioners with their families inhabit flats or floors in such houses; they have been accustomed to divide such floors by means of partitions into separate rooms or cubicles for the purpose of ensuring privacy for the various members of their families.\n\n3. By Section 154 (1) of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance 1903, it is provided that no cubicle or room which is not provided with a window or windows or a skylight opening directly into the external air may be maintained in any storey of any domestic building.\n\n4. This provision renders many of the cubicles in existing houses illegal as not having a window opening into them.\n\n5. With regard however to cubicles which have windows of the necessary size opening into them it appears that they are also illegal for the reason that the partitions render the remainder of the house an illegal room.\n\nThis may be explained as follows:-\n\n(a). Assuming that one cubicle in front of the floor, surrounding the front windows, and one cubicle at the back, surrounding the back window, are legal; then the intervening",

That intermediate space therefore being a \"room\" is caught by Section 154(1) of the said Ordinance which enacts that \"no room which is not provided with a window &c. may be maintained in any storey of any domestic building\".\n\n(c). The intermediate space in question cannot therefore under the existing law be maintained in any building, quite apart from the question of whether it is used for sleeping purposes or not.\n\n(d). Therefore the partitions forming the legal cubicles in front and in the rear must be removed because they at the same time form an illegal space in the centre of the house.\n\n7. The net result therefore is that under the existing law practically no cubicles or partitions whatever are legal in Chinese dwellings.\n\n8. Your Petitioners desire to draw Your Excellency's attention to the great hardship and injustice of such a law.\n\n9. The privacy of the Chinese woman is as dear to her as it is to the European woman; the law as it stands at present makes all privacy in Chinese dwellings impossible, and the result of that law must be that thousands of Chinese families will leave the Colony and seek a habitation elsewhere.\n\nYour Petitioners therefore humbly beg that Your Excellency will be so good as to look into the matter and amend the law so as to give Your Petitioners relief from the hardships which now threaten them.\n\nDated 6th August, 1908.\n\n(Here follow 16 signatures.)",

The Warrant of the Acting Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for China and Corea under which she was deported set out that the grounds of her deportation were that she did take poison with intent to kill herself, that she had been called on to give security to keep the peace towards one William Wilson, and that failing such security she should be deported to Hongkong. I enclose a copy of the Warrant for your information. The facts of the case are these. Miss Garrett arrived in Hongkong with her son aged about three, and applied to this Government for assistance to proceed to Amoy in order to claim the protection and support of a Mr. August,...\n\nHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C., M.P.,\n\n20...\n\nWilson\n\nExc.\n\n&c.",

She had the appearance of a most respectable young woman of the middle class, of good education and more than average intelligence. She is a native of Hull.\n\n3.\n\nIn the circumstances she was assisted with money to proceed to Amoy. After she had left the Colony it transpired that the Solicitors of Mr. Wilson had endeavoured to dissuade her while in Hongkong from going to Amoy, and had offered to pay her passage to England and to make a provision of £25 a year for the support of herself and her son if she would return to England. This offer she had declined.\n\n4.\n\nThis Government heard nothing more in the matter until Miss Garrett arrived in the Colony in the custody of the Constable of the Amoy Consulate, armed with the Warrant of which a copy is enclosed. It was competent to the Governor of this Colony to deport her to Great Britain under Clause 112 of the Order in Council of 1865, but in the circumstances Sir Henry Blake refused to do so. On the contrary he authorised provision to be made for the maintenance of Miss Garrett and her child with a family in Hongkong while she made an endeavour to obtain better terms from Mr. Wilson. This she finally succeeded in doing, and left the Colony for England, her passage being paid by Mr. Wilson, who also executed an agreement with the Official Trustee in this Colony under which he is bound to pay to that Officer for the maintenance of Miss Garrett and her child, until the latter attains the age of 16 years, the sum of £50 a year.

Subject therefore to your approval, I have caused the deficiencies to be made good out of the Corps fund, a sufficient balance being available.\n\n2.\n\nThe method of administering the funds of the Corps has since been made the subject of careful enquiry by the Colonial Treasurer and Local Auditor, the latter having kindly consented to examine the accounts as they stood after Power's arrest, and to suggest rules whereby the chances of fraud might for the future be minimised. The result will be found in the enclosed.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C., M.P.",

S.M. Power had a splendid Army career and received a large salary, so that I had no cause to distrust him. My accounts show that I paid the total balance cash into the bank the day before I went on leave in June last, and the only defalcations previous to that date are a cheque for $165.81 on January 31st and a bill for $9 paid twice; the cheque was for books bought in England and as no receipt had been received by the middle of April I had a letter written to be sent to the firm for the receipt, this presumably was not sent by the Sergeant Major and after I went on leave he obtained a new cheque from Major Chalmers for the amount by showing him the original bill and the Sergeant Major falsified the cash account to deceive me on my return by showing the amount under the heading of clothing with a large item paid to India in Rupees.\n\nThe small sum of $39 I overlooked by mistaking a bill for a receipt.\n\nThe other amounts since my return from leave were balance cash which he was ordered to pay into the bank and which he kept, and in order to conceal his fraud he forged the bank paying-in book: I found this out within one week of the second fraud. The remaining amounts were balance cash which should have been in his hands when he was arrested.\n\nI therefore beg to submit that except for the amount...",

Surgs. are to receive the conveyance allowance, since only 3 out of 4 are mentioned in the encl.\n\nI may explain that in the case referred to in 36995, Mr Lucas was not intended to negative the grant of a conveyance allowance, but par 3 of that letter was rather intended to negative house or other similar emolument equivalent to salary, & not to refer to allowances which it was understood were always granted to officers required to travel in Hongkong.\n\nBy an oversight this did not go to Dr. Koch before. W. Baume has had a letter from Trinidad showing that his return to that flying is impracticable.\n\nSeen. Another case I do not see it.\n\n15-609/02 Mears of Finance\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C., M.P.\n\n&c., &c.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient\n\nHumble servant,\n\nH.

(6 Enclosures, 2 Sub-enclosures).\n\nHONG KONG\n\nProposed Reclamation of Praya East.\n\nSubmitted, observing that the manner in which it is proposed that the reclamation opposite the Praya East should be carried out amounts to nothing less than an attempt to turn the flank of the frontage in the possession of adjoining owners, -the War Office and the Admiralty. The proposition is, to carry the reclamation out at an angle and not as I presume law as well as equity would render compulsory to carry it out direct to the front of the existing land. The angle at which it is proposed to do this is, it would seem, to be chosen at the good pleasure of the party making the reclamation so that if this proposal is tolerated there will be no security for the rights of adjoining owners and the angle may be altered so as to impair those rights still further.\n\n2\n\nThe proposed reclamation would deprive the fleet on the station of some indispensable mooring berths and would impair the value of others, besides being likely to impede access of ships requiring refit to the dockyard.\n\n3.",

Similarly, the front of the Imperial Government property cannot be further to the West than at right angles to their general line of front (green lines). This latter boundary seems to have been already admitted by the Colonial Government since it just touches the proposed line of 21st of February 1900.\n\n2.\n\nFrontage on the water is the primary essential to our small use of the ground by the Military Authorities. The water frontage has to be apportioned to three separate duties, viz:-\n\n(a) The daily transport of troops and stores.\n\n(b) The submarine mining work.\n\n(c) The landing of guns and ammunition for the Army and Navy.\n\nConsequently, I should be obliged to oppose any scheme which diminished the sea frontage, which the present proposal undoubtedly does to a serious extent.\n\n3.\n\nAs to the suggested Extension of the War Department Reclamation, a proposal to advance the line of frontage up to the line of the Naval Reclamation was rejected by the Admiralty 2 years ago on the ground that it would interfere with the access of ships to the Naval Extension.\n\n4. The Reclamation proposed would include the area used for mooring the launches and steamers, of which there are five, beside the lighters, and pinnaces, used in Submarine Mining Work.\n\nAn anchorage for these would then have to be found in the tide-way, unless we reserve the water on the present frontage for their accommodation.\n\n5.",

Their Lordships are fully aware of the congestion both ashore and afloat which now exists at Hong Kong, and Sir Henry Blake's letter clearly shows how great is the inconvenience thus caused to commercial interests.\n\n3. Their Lordships cannot however, admit that Sir Henry Blake is the best judge of Naval requirements on the Station, and although it would no doubt be an advantage if more room were available for expansion, I am to point out that, as the attached lithographed sketch shows, the area of the Naval Yard when completed will be 394 acres, and there is space for the construction of another Dock of the largest size should this be found necessary at some future date.\n\n4. There is, therefore, no necessity from a Naval point of view for any change of site, and the proposal made in Sir Henry Blake's letter can only be dealt with as if it were made in the interest and on behalf of the Commercial and Colonial community at Hong Kong.\n\n5.\n\nLACOLONIAL OFFICE.\n\n....",

Their Lordships' first duty is to provide for the necessities of His Majesty's Ships on the China Station, present as well as future, and under no circumstances can they assent to abandon the present works, the early completion of which they believe to be necessary to security.\n\n6. Subject, however, to the requirements of the Navy being met, their Lordships are anxious to place no obstacle in the way of the commercial expansion of the Colony, and they fully recognise that it is best whenever possible to establish Naval Stations outside the boundaries of great Commercial Harbours.\n\n7. Whilst, therefore, their Lordships for the reasons already stated cannot see their way to themselves negotiate for any new site for the Naval Yard, they would not refuse to consider an offer from the Colony to re-provide equivalent accommodation on an approved site.\n\n8. In suggesting equivalent accommodation, their Lordships have in view not only the Docks, Basins, Stores, Magazines, Workshops, and other accessories to a Naval Yard, but also the available anchorage and whatever defences are necessary to ensure security equal to that obtained under present conditions, and it might also be necessary to replace the Naval Hospital which is in the vicinity of the present Yard.\n\n9. It is further necessary that the Navy should continue to occupy the present Yard and anchorage until the new establishment is ready, and can be handed over to them.\n\n10.

O. 10160\n\n1803. 16-29 MAY 03\n\n815/98.\n\nSir,\n\n338\n\nSECRETARY\n\nWith reference to my submissions No.408 of 8 December, 1901, and No.15 of 18 July, 1902, and to Admiralty Letter No.31122 of 3 February 1903, I have the honour to submit the following observations:-\n\n2. For some years the prison accommodation in the \"TAMAR\" has been unequal to the demands on it. Only 23 prisoners can be accommodated on board; the number 26 given in my Submission No.615 was incorrect in consequence of an error in a report made to me at the time. The \"overflow\" has to be accommodated in the Hong Kong Civil Prison. The number of naval prisoners in that correctional establishment has been as high as 25.\n\n3. The practical result is that at Hongkong the naval prisoners are invariably confined in two separate prisons - one on board the \"TAMAR\" & one in the town. Wherever there are two establishments there is certain to be some difference between them. This would be the case if there were two purely naval prisons at Hongkong.\n\n4. It is sometimes said that the effect of confinement in the Civil prison is less deterrent than that of confinement in the \"TAMAR\". It is nearly certain that if there were an \"overflow\" prison, say, in the \"MIDGE\", one establishment would be found less deterrent than the other. As it is, the prisoners convicted of the more serious offences always go to the Civil Prison; and at Singapore the corresponding establishment is the sole place of confinement.\n\nADMIRALTY.",

        "content_text": "YA\n\n339\n\n5. There may be some objection to confining offenders convicted only of offences against discipline in the same plane as worse criminals; but this objection has been put up with for a long time at Hongkong and always at Singapore as at other places.\n\n6. I submit that it is not desirable to fit up a hulk as an \"overflow\" prison at Hongkong: and it would be equally undesirable to fit up one as the only prison. I also submit that it would be taking a heavy responsibility to confine prisoners in an old hulk which could not possibly be as safe as a new vessel, in a harbour subject to typhoons like Hongkong.\n\n7. The solution of the question is, it is submitted, to arrange with the Colonial Government for an enlargement of the existing prison so as to accommodate, say, 60 naval prisoners, or 35 more than have been already confined in it. No new local legislation is necessary, the prison authorities being empowered already to receive naval prisoners up to the limits of the available accommodation.\n\n8. The present time is specially favourable for approaching the Colonial Government on the subject. I understand from the Governor that the government is prepared to entertain a proposal of the kind. His intention is to build a new prison: and it appears ready to increase the accommodation if the Admiralty will consent to contribute proportionately to the cost.\n\n9. There would be a considerable saving of money if the Naval prison at Hongkong were abolished. For other reasons the abolition is highly desirable.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\nCyprian A.G. Bridge\n\nVice-Admiral.",

This led to the correspondence enclosed.\n\n3.- In order to see how rights, formally granted and unquestioned for years, are being infringed until they are in effect abrogated, it is necessary to go back to 1858. On 2nd October of that year, the Hongkong Government Gazette published \"the boundaries of the anchorage set apart by direction of H.E. the naval Commander-in-Chief for Vessels of War\" and also a letter from Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, dated 1st October, which stated that \"the naval Commander-in-Chief wishes it (the anchorage) to be understood as appropriated for ships of war; but at the same time, desirous of the Admiralty.",

This was published in the Government Gazette.\n\n4.-If there had been any doubts of the authority of the Governor to set apart a special portion of the harbour as a man-of-war anchorage they were completely removed by the issue of an Ordinance in 1882. This instrument included an additional safeguard against improper use of the special anchorage by directing that no vessel or boats of any description should anchor in it without first obtaining the special sanction of the Harbour Master.\n\n5.-This precaution was of course due to the necessity of preserving the efficiency of the general principles of the harbour police. The effect is that before any vessel or boat can anchor or moor in the man-of-war anchorage the special sanction of the Harbour Master must be obtained before asking permission from the Senior Naval Officer to go to any particular spot in it.\n\n6.-I should be under an obligation to Your Excellency if you could have this made clear, it being evident from the recent occurrence that Sir Michael Seymour's courteous desire to help merchant-vessels is in danger of being construed into a right even to them to encroach on the man-of-war anchorage against the direction of the Senior Naval Officer.\n\nI have, etc.,\n\n(Sd) Cyprian A.G.

The concession is confined to the reservation within specified bounds of a certain portion of the waters of the harbour to form \"an anchorage\" where ships of war may anchor to the exclusion of all other ships.\n\nThe concession confers no right upon the Naval Authorities except the right to call upon Government to exclude all ships other than men of war from anchoring in the portion of the harbour so reserved. The concession does not vest in the Naval Authorities any property in or any legal control over the portion of the harbour so reserved, for their convenience, as an anchorage for the warships.\n\nThe policing of the reserved area is not done by the Naval Authorities but by the Harbour Police.\n\nShould any obstruction occur in the portion of the harbour so reserved, as when a dredger sank in the Naval Anchorage during a typhoon, the duty of causing the removal of the obstruction would fall upon the Harbour Authorities and not upon the Naval.\n\nShould a Merchant vessel in defiance of the Harbour Regulations to the contrary insist upon anchoring within the area reserved by Government for a man of war anchorage",

If she were against the will of her Master boarded and her anchor weighed or if she were otherwise forcibly removed by order of the Naval Authorities, the persons responsible\n\nfor such order and for such action would be liable in damages for trespass. The only legal course which would be open to the Naval Authorities to enforce the removal of a merchant ship so anchoring would be to appeal to the\n\nHarbour Master to enforce the Regulations by which the anchorage was reserved and the Harbour Master in the exercise of the powers vested in him could compel the observance of the Harbour Regulations with respect to anchorages by removing, by force if need be, the Merchant Ship which in defiance of such regulation insisted upon using the anchorage reserved for men of war. In other words ships of war are by the Harbour Regulations and for\n\nthe convenience of the Naval Authorities restricted to an area set apart within the harbour and all ships other than ships of war are forbidden to use the area so set apart\n\nbut such regulations do not confer upon the Naval Authorities any power over the waters so set apart nor any right except that of asking that the regulations to give effect to the concession to them of a special anchorage for their ships of war should be enforced by the Harbour Master.\n\nThe concession by which an anchorage for ships of war is reserved extends solely to \"ships of war\". Consequently the request made by the Naval Authorities for the removal of launches and lighters moored in the neighbourhood of the Dockyard Extension Works is in effect a request for an extension of the Concession. In considering this requisition it is to be noted that it is not based upon anything connected",

This, Their Lordships cannot agree to, and it is considered that the boundary should be defined by a line drawn from the Eastern extremity of the Arsenal at the junction of Arsenal Street and Eastern Praya at right angles to the Eastern Praya,\n\nFurther, it is considered that if the Western end of the proposed Praya reclamation is to be constructed in the form of a Rubble Slope, then the toe of such slope should be to the East of the line indicated above, so that the works do not encroach on the water area Westward of the said line.\n\nUnder Secretary of State,\n\nCOLONIAL OFFICE,\n\nLondon, S.V.\n\nL.P.-No. P.\n\nTheir\n\n2 G & S (03111 20a 5/2",

A small Plan of the Naval Yard Extension, as now being constructed, is attached. The North Barracks and Commissariat Buildings have been transferred by the War Office to the Admiralty. Sharp's property (lots Nos. 20 and 21) has been purchased by the latter Department; and the Plan also shows how the Queens Road has been widened by and at the cost of the Admiralty.\n\nI am,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nW.

In view of the remarks in your letter of the 28th June 1902, No.568, as to the present Naval Range at Kowloon, My Lords desire that this Range shall be handed over as soon as possible to the Colonial Authorities, who are pressing for its early acquisition.

As regards the Range on Stonecutter's Island which, it is understood, can be resumed by the Navy at once, My Lords do not propose, in view of the remarks contained in your letter dated 6th August 1902, No.678/77, to expend any large sum of money on this Range. They merely desire to make the Range efficient by carrying out any alterations that are considered absolutely necessary for safety and efficiency as distinguished from those for convenience and bringing up to date. It is not intended to expend money on the construction of a skirmishing ground.\n\n6. I am to request that you will cause revised proposals and estimates for really necessary work to be submitted.\n\n7. My Lords further propose to establish a supplementary range on the peninsula between Long Harbour and Jones' Cove in Mirs Bay, if this can be done at a moderate expenditure. It is not desired to incur any heavy outlay at present at least. A Range of 800 yards in length will be sufficient for the present, although it is desirable to provide for possible extension hereafter.\n\n8. I am therefore to request you to place yourself in communication with the Colonial Government, with a view to the acquisition, by purchase, by the Admiralty of the land forming this peninsula.\n\n9. The negotiations should include provision for the reservation for Naval purposes of the anchorage in Long Harbour, or as much of it as may be necessary, and also control of the water approaches to that harbour, in case such control should be needed in the future.\n\n10. You are requested to report the result of your negotiations",

Subsequently My Lords desired to purchase an additional area adjoining that already leased, and the fact that it was to be used for the purposes of an Infectious Hospital is mentioned in Colonial Office letter dated 7th October, 1899, No.25795/99.\n\n5. In approving the plans for the Infectious Hospital it was deliberately decided after the fullest consideration, and in accordance with the advice of experienced Senior Medical Officers of the Navy, who are well acquainted with Hong Kong, that under all the circumstances of the case Smallpox could quite safely be treated there. In such cases a good deal must depend on the contour of the ground, and this was fully considered.\n\n5. An argument which weighed strongly with My Lords was the fact that they had received very strong reports against the system of treating such cases on the hulk \"Midge\", a system they are now asked to revert to.\n\n7. In one of the enclosures of your letter under reply attention is invited to \"a recent order issued by the Local Government Board at home concerning the establishment of smallpox hospital\".\n\n8.

It is very reasonable that the advice contained in such a memorandum should be made use of in designing new hospitals, but it cannot be accepted that everything not up to the \"letter\" of the standard of the latest improvements is to be regarded as inadmissible or obsolete without any regard to the circumstances of particular cases. It may be mentioned that one of the Senior Officers of the Naval Medical Service who is thoroughly acquainted with the locality is of opinion that \"the site for such a hospital was very well chosen and the isolation about as complete as it could be.\"\n\n10. In view of the facts, My Lords found themselves unable to entertain the proposal to abandon this new hospital and instructed the Commander-in-Chief to convey this decision to the Colonial Government. They trust that the Secretary of State will concur with them that their action has been based on sound reasons.\n\nI am,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nC.L.M.",

When I visited Hong Kong in 1882, for the purpose\n\nof enquiring into, and reporting upon the sanitary condition\n\nof the Colony, one of the most serious defects noted, was\n\nthe inadequacy of the water-supply. The Pokfulam Reservoir\n\nwas then the only source of public water-supply.\n\nAt this time, a considerable quantity of water was obtained\n\nfrom wells and from the streams, flowing down the hills.\n\nThe daily quantum of water, which the said reservoir afforded,\n\nwas but small, and the deficiency in quantity was\n\naggravated by the defective system of distribution, then\n\nin force. The Tytam Reservoir was projected, but its\n\nconstruction was opposed by the then Governor, the late\n\nSir John Pope Hennessy, K.C.M.G. The reason for opposition\n\nto a work, the necessity for which was so obvious, has\n\nnever been clearly ascertained. A special report was\n\ntherefore submitted, recommending the construction of the\n\nTytam Reservoir. It was, however, evident that, even\n\nwith the additional quantity of water, which the new works\n\nmight be expected to afford; waste and extravagance must\n\nbe checked, by appropriate Legislation.

It was obvious that \n\nthe augmented supply, due to the new works, would afford \n\nbut small benefit, if waste and extravagance were not pre-\n\nvented. It appeared that the Ordinance, drafted in 1882, \n\nhad never been passed. It appeared still more strange, \n\nwas that not a single copy of the Draft Ordinance could \n\nbe found in the Colony. \n\nDuring my visit of 1891-2, a new Water Ordinance \n\nwas drafted, discussed and approved by the Sanitary Board, \n\nand by the Executive Council. It was, however, objected \n\nto by the unofficial members of the Legislative Council. \n\nThis Ordinance, in its original form, contemplated the \n\ngeneral use of meters; and, moreover, made the Owners of \n\ntenements responsible for the payment for all water con-\n\nsumed by their tenants, in excess of a certain prescribed \n\nquarterly quantum. The Householders, as represented by \n\nthe Unofficial members of the Legislative Council, shrunk \n\nfrom this responsibility, saying that they had no control \n\nover their tenants who were, for the most part, mere lodgers \n\nto-day and gone the next. \n\n3. \n\nIt appeared to me that there was some justification \n\nfor the contention of the unofficial Members. More-\n\nover, I have always held that important enactments should \n\nbe passed, by and with the concurrence of the unofficial \n\nMembers of the Legislative Council.

As to what has happened since then, I have no information as I was away.\n\n7. I was directed to report as to the best means of augmenting the water-supply. Several projects were considered, one of which was to lay a submerged pipe across the harbour, and bring water from the newly acquired Territory of British Kowloon, where a capacious reservoir was about to be constructed.\n\nI considered that this project was open to objection for the following reasons. To lay a pipe, a mile or more in length, in deep water, is, though not impossible, difficult and costly. But the most important objection was the fact that, within the newly acquired Territory, very few suitable sources of supply existed. It appeared that the new works in Kowloon would little more than suffice for the wants of the population of the New Territory, which had materially increased since the Annexation, and which seemed likely to grow still greater under British rule.\n\nAt any rate, it did not seem desirable to undertake a work of such magnitude until all sources of supply within the Island of Hong Kong had been fully developed.\n\n8. In the interval between my second and third visits to Hong Kong, the then Director of Public Works, Mr. F. Cooper, submitted an exhaustive report upon the matter of developing the various available sources of supply within the Island of Hong Kong. He suggested numerous reservoirs, one of which, that at Wan Chai Gap, had been constructed when I arrived in 1902.",

It appeared to me that, on the whole, the best plan would be to construct a large reservoir in the Tytam valley, below the existing Reservoir, in order to collect, not only any overflow from the said Tytam Reservoir, but also the waters of several streams, which join the main stream, below the said reservoir. The water of the proposed low-level Reservoir was to be pumped up to the level of the tunnel, which carries the water of the Tytam Reservoir, to the Town.\n\n10.\n\nA Report, describing this scheme, in general terms, was submitted, locally. Surveys were commenced. A Preliminary Specification of the Pumping-Engines was prepared, and it was sent home through the usual channel. Various tenders for Pumping Engines have been considered on the spot; one has been selected, and an order to proceed with construction has been received by telegram.\n\n11.\n\nIt might reasonably be asked why the erection of the Pumping Machinery should precede the construction of the Reservoir.\n\nThe answer to this question is as follows. Gaugings taken in the bed of the Tytam below the existing reservoir, showed that, during the extreme drought of 1901-1902, a flow of about one million gallons a day prevailed. If machinery had been available, this water might have been pumped to the town, forming a very welcome addition to the general supply.\n\nTherefore, it appeared that no time should be lost in procuring the pumping engines. This proposition has, apparently, been accepted by the Local Government, witness the Telegram, which I have cited.\n\n5",

Further, any service,\n\nClause 21 (1), empowers the Governor in Council to fix the\n\nprice of water supplied by meter, at a price not exceeding\n\none dollar per 1,000 gallons.

The telegram which you\n\nreceived, selecting a particular type of pumping engine,\n\nthat offered by Messrs. Tangye & Company, shews that the\n\nGovernment of Hong Kong desire to proceed with this portion\n\nof the scheme at least. This again has been confirmed by\n\na requisition, and steps are being taken to proceed with the\n\nwork.\n\n30.\n\nI beg to point out that the erection of the\n\npumping engines, alone, will effect a material relief,\n\nat an early date. To develope the available supply to the\n\nutmost, a capacious reservoir will be required.\n\nThis will take several years to construct. Therefore, in all pro-\n\nbability it will be, from time to time, necessary to re-\n\nstrict consumption, by resorting to an intermittent supply,\n\nless frequently and with less severity, perhaps, than has\n\nbeen the case in past years. Again, as I have already\n\npointed out, in previous reports, the low-level Tytam scheme,\n\nincluding the low-level reservoir, practically exhausts the\n\nwater-supply obtainable within the Island of Hong Kong.\n\nOther gathering-grounds exist, but to utilise them would be\n\nvery costly. Therefore, it is desirable that steps\n\nshould be taken to reduce waste and extravagance.\n\nTo this end, legislation will be necessary, if for no other\n\nreason than to amend and consolidate existing legislation.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nGentlemen,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nRobert Chadwicke\n\n16\n\n*I",

In the first \n\nplace, the salt is, in itself perfectly harmless, provided \n\nthat it does not exist in sufficient quantity to make the \n\nwater brackish and unpalatable. \n\nThe presence of chlorine in upland waters, especially that of shallow wells, is assumed to be indicative \n\nof sewage-contamination; for, most of the common salt consumed by man passes away in the urine. Consequently, when \n\nan upland well water contains a large dose of chlorine, it \n\nmay be looked upon as suspicious, and it should be carefully \n\nexamined, especially as to the surroundings of the well. \n\nIf no possibility of sewage contamination exists, then a \n\nreasonable dose of chlorine, is absolutely harmless. \n\nWater of wells, sunk below sea level, always contains a considerable proportion of chlorine, \n\nThe \n\nAgain, the salt dissolved in the sea-water which \n\nnow saturates the sand will diffuse upwards very slowly. \n\nI had numerous examples of this in Malta. In one case some \n\nslightly brackish well-water was pumped, by mistake, into a large tank containing rain water. It sank to the bottom, so much so, that the surface-water was normal, whilst a \n\n1",

The denser saline water sank to the bottom, without mixing appreciably with the lighter rain-water. I see no reason, therefore, to anticipate any inconvenience from salt, especially as the water will always be drawn for use from the upper strata by means of suitably arranged valves at different levels.\n\nIt is just possible that marine organisms living in the sand may be killed by the fresh water and contaminate it. Such a case occurred in the case of a filter-bed (not a reservoir) in Grenada. The sand for this was coral sand taken from the shore near to low water mark. Apparently it was clean, but it must have contained living coral insects. These were killed by the fresh water and imparted to the filtrate a most offensive taste and smell. The sand was removed and replaced by other coral sand collected from above high-water mark, when the inconvenience ceased.\n\nThe conditions in this case were quite different from those which will obtain in the present instance. The water actually passed through the sand, carrying with it the offensive products of decomposition. Here, again, drawing from near the surface will prevent any inconvenience.\n\nIt was often found in Malta that the lower strata of water in the house-tanks showed unmistakable signs of sewage-contamination (free and albumenoid ammonia), while surface water was perfectly good. In such cases, however, there was actual infiltration of sewage from some leaky house-sewer. This was so often the case that the use of pumps, though prescribed by law, was abandoned, as they drew",

Cooper in his report dated 1896, mentions this Reservoir site, but does not recommend its immediate utilisation, because its level is below that of the Tytam Tunnel, and consequently pumping would be required to utilise its waters. I may add that pumping was first suggested by myself in a report dated January 1902.\n\n(3) Mr. Chatham now suggests the construction of the reservoir at site No. 4, (vide plan dated 23.10.03 which accompanied Despatch No. 483 dated Government House, Hong Kong, 22nd October 1903.) because construction can be immediately proceeded with, and completed promptly. Whereas the low-level Reservoir which I projected by myself in 1902 cannot be completed for two years at least. As the",

But in the application of this principle certain matters, such as the conditions upon which, and the class of crimes in respect of which, extradition is to be granted, and the formalities to be observed upon an application for extradition, are primarily matters for the two political powers concerned to arrange in the first instance by treaty; having done this, the next step is by legislative enactment to give them the force of law, and to express in an Act of Parliament the conditions and limitations imposed upon the grant of extradition and the class of crimes to which extradition is to apply. It is to the expression of the legislature in Acts of Parliament alone that judicial tribunals can refer. Acts of Parliament are the sole source, and at the same time the strict limitation, of the judicial functions. We are sitting here as judges only, and have nothing to do with political considerations except so far as they may have been introduced into the language of the Acts which we are called upon to construe.\n\nPer Lord RUSSELL, C.J., In re Arton, L.R.

        "content_text": "# INTERPRETATION OF EXTRADITION TREATIES.\n\nIn my judgment these treaties ought to receive a liberal interpretation, which means no more than that they should receive their true construction according to their language, object, and intent. I know no head of the French law for which an exact equivalent is to be found in the law of England. The English and French texts of the treaty are not translations of one another. They are different versions, but versions which, on the whole, are in substantial agreement.\n\nPer Lord RUSSELL, C.J., In re Arton, L.R. Q.B.D. 1896 (1) 509; 65 L.J.M.C. 50; 18 Cox C.C. 277; 60 J.P. 132.\n\n# ON APPEAL, NEW MATERIALS MAY BE PRESENTED TO THE KING'S BENCH DIVISION BESIDES WHAT WAS BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE,\n\nPer DENMAN, J.: The Act itself requires the Magistrate to inform the prisoner that he may apply for a habeas corpus, and, if he is entitled to apply for a habeas corpus, justice must have power to go into the whole matter, and I think it follows that the Queen's Bench Division in some cases, if there be certainly fresh evidence and cogent evidence, it could not say for a moment that it would feel itself crippled by the mere fact that the Magistrate, upon much less evidence, or perhaps upon the same evidence had taken a different view of the matter.\n\nPer HAWKINS, J.: If a man has a right to move for a habeas corpus in order that the case may be reviewed, it would be an absurdity to say that he might not enter into those matters which showed that he had been guilty of no offence at all; and by no means was the matter concluded by the Magistrate's decision that he be committed for trial, because the Magistrate does not sit, when he is committing for trial, as a Magistrate sitting finally to dispose of the case, and to give judgment upon it. I think that they (the provisions of the Act) are quite sufficient certainly to satisfy me that the Magistrate's decision is by no means binding, either in point of law or in point of fact, and that, when these matters come to be considered upon the habeas corpus, if the Judges have to consider the case, they must consider the case as it is before them at the time the rule is discussed, and I think that we are not bound by, though we pay respect to, what the Magistrate's views were.\n\nIn re Castioni, L.R. Q.B.D. 1891 (1) 149; 60 L.J.M.C. 22; 64 L.T. (N.S.) 344; 17 Cox C.C. 225; 55 J.P. 328.\n\n(But see also later case of In re Arton (p. 23), L.R. Q.B.D. 1896 (I) 509; 65 L.J.M.C. 50; 18 Cox C.C. 277; 60 J.P. 132, where Lord Russell, C.J., said: \"We are not a Court of Appeal on questions of fact from him (the Magistrate). We have only to see that he had such evidence before him as gave him authority and jurisdiction to commit.\")\n\n(See also In re Arton (p. 23), L.R. Q.B.D. 1896 (1) 108; 65 L.J.M.C. 23, where Lord Russell, C.J., said \"The Court is bound to see whether or not a prima facie case has been made out before the Magistrate.\")\n\nPage 7\n\n# EX PARTE BOUVIER. France.\n\n21st November, 1872.\n\nQUEEN'S BENCH: COCKBURN, C.J., MELLOR and BLACKBURN, JJ.\n\n42 L.J. Q.B. 17; 12 Cox C.C. 303; 27 L.T. (N.S.) 844. Committed for extradition, by Police Magistrate of Jersey, for \"fuum et banqueroute frauduleuse.\" The French warrant had been granted upon a judgment of an Assize Court, on which Bouvier had been condemned on three several charges of abus de confiance, forgery, and fraudulent bankruptcy. Abus de confiance was not an offence included in the Convention of 13th February, 1843.\n\nContended: No power under the Convention or under the Act of 1870 to surrender for abus de confiance. No power to surrender the criminal inasmuch as no provision or arrangement had been made as required by section 3 (2) of the Extradition Act, 1870.\n\nAffidavit of the officially appointed Counsel to the French Embassy put in as to the state of French law.\n\nHeld: That under the existing law of France such provision is made.\n\n(See also case of United States v. Lawrence, 13 Cox C.C. 361)\n\n(And see now Article IV. of the treaty with France of 14th August, 1876.)\n\n# EX PARTE ELISE COUNHAYE.\n\nBelgium.\n\n23rd May, 1873.\n\nQUEEN'S BENCH : BLACKBURN, QUAIN, and ARCHIBALD, JJ.\n\nL.R. 8 Q.B. 410; 42 L.J.Q.B. 217.\n\nAccused of complicity in her husband's bankruptcy.\n\nContended: (i.) Complicity in a fraudulent bankruptcy is not a crime within the Extradition Act.\n\nA treaty cannot extend the Act. (ii.) The facts charged were committed before the Act was passed, and section 6 does not apply to crimes committed before the Act was passed.\n\n(i.) The depositions were not taken before the Magistrate who issued the warrant as required by Article II. of the treaty.\n\n(iv.) The depositions are not receivable not having been taken in the presence of the accused.\n\n(v.) The Belgian warrant is bad, charging crime in France; and it is not for the same crime as the English commitment.\n\nPer COLERIDGE, A.G. - Accessories before the fact are not mentioned in the Schedule to the Act because at common law they are in effect the same as principals, and aiders and abettors can by statute be tried as well as punished as principals.",

        "content_text": "Held: We are all agreed that section 14 makes depositions, properly authenticated, evidence in proceedings under the Act whether they are taken in the particular charge or not, and whether taken in the presence of the person charged or not.\n\nPer BLACKBURN, J.-I do not see how \"crimes by bankrupts against bankruptcy law\" can include a person not a bankrupt, but accused of complicity in a fraudulent bankruptcy.\n\nI agree with the A.G. that, as to many of the crimes included in the list, accessories before the fact would be included.\n\nAs to contention ii. I express no opinion beyond this that it is at least very doubtful.\n\n(As to contention ii. see now section 2 of the Extradition Act, 1873.) (As to accessories see section 3 of the Extradition Act, 1873.)\n\nIn re Guerin (see above).\n\nIn re Custioni, L.R. Q.B.D. 1891 (1) 149; 60 L.J.M.C. 22; 64 L.T.

(N.S.) 41.\n\nCharged with fraudulent bankruptcy in France. At Bow Street, evidence, taken in the presence of the accused-who cross-examined-of a witness, who, at a subsequent hearing, on remand, before a different Magistrate, was not present, was read as part of the case; additional evidence was taken and the accused was committed.\n\nContended: (i.)-The materials before the Magistrate were insufficient to prove any crime for which in this country the accused might be sent for trial.\n\n(ii.) It cannot be that one Magistrate may take a deposition and another judge of its relevancy and importance.\n\nHeld: As to (i)-It is for the Magistrate to decide, and although we may think that the case is very inconclusive, we cannot interfere; he is the only party authorised to decide upon the facts. This is not a Court of Appeal from the Magistrate's decision.\n\nAs to (ii.)—\n\nPer KELLY, C.B.--I entertain great doubt whether the deposition of M. de M. was admissible in evidence before Sir T. Henry.\n\nPer MARTIN, B.-I don't mean to express any positive opinion, but I think that such evidence was admissible at common law.\n\nPer POLLOCK, B.--This (evidence) was taken in the presence of the prisoner, and I should have thought that it was receivable.\n\n(As to (ii) see In re Guerin, 58 L.J.M.C. 42; 16 Cox C.C. 596; 53 J.P. 467; 60 L.T. 538: 37 W.R. 289.)\n\n(As to POWER OF COURT OF KING'S BENCH UPON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS, see also In re Maurer, 32 L.J.M.C. 105; 10 Q.B.D. 513.\n\nUNITED STATES v. LAWRENCE.\n\nU.S.A. CIRCUIT COURT, NEW YORK.\n\n13 Cox C.C. 361.\n\nLawrence was extradited to the U.S.A. in March, 1875, for “forging and uttering a certain bond and affidavit within the U.S.A.\"\n\nUpon indictment before the Circuit Court of the United States, held at the city of New York, for forging and uttering a certain bond of one Blanding and also a certain affidavit known as the \"Owner's Oath,\" purporting to be made by Blanding, Lawrence filed a special plea to the jurisdiction of the Court, averring that he was charged with offences other than those on which his extradition was grounded, and set up the British Extradition Act, and that there was an understanding that he was to be tried only for the crime stated in the extradition warrant.\n\nHeld: Per BENEDICT, J.-Extradition proceedings do not secure the person surrendered immunity from prosecution for any offence other than the one upon which his surrender is made. An offender against the justice of his country can acquire no rights as between himself and justice by flight: he remains at all times and everywhere liable to be called to answer to the law for his violations thereof, provided he comes within the reach of its arm. The English statute of 1870 cannot be held to have had the effect in the United States of securing an extradited person from trial for an offence other than that for which he is extradited. An agreement between the representatives of the two governments cannot have the effect of depriving the Court of jurisdiction to try him for offences other than that for which he is extradited. See Scott's case in the King's Bench (9 B. & C. 447). Scott was seized in Brussels, and carried to London without extradition or other legal process: \"We are to take care that such a party is amenable to justice, and cannot inquire into the circumstances under which he was brought here.\"\n\n(See case of Commonwealth v. Hawes in the Court of Appeals of Kentucky, 17th April, 1878: \"A person surrendered to the U.S.A. under the treaty of 1843 cannot be tried upon a charge different from that for which he was extradited, and for which his surrender could not have been demanded.\" 14 Cox C.C. 135.)\n\n(And see now Article III. of the Convention with the U.S.A. of 12th July, 1889.)",

(N.S.) 544.\n\nW., a British subject, had been committed by the Magistrate for surrender for larceny in Switzerland. By the Swiss treaty of 1874, no subject of the United Kingdom shall be delivered up by the Government thereof to Switzerland. The Magistrate was of opinion that he was not entitled to consider the terms of the treaty, but only the Extradition Acts.\n\nBOWEN, in support of the commitment, contended:\n\nThe Order in Council does not limit the operation of the Extradition Acts; it merely recites the treaty.\n\nHeld: The Act can only have application so far as it is consistent with the treaty. The Order in Council must be co-extensive with, and limited by the treaty.\n\n(See Article I. of the Treaty with Switzerland, of 26th November, 1880, as to \"NATIONALS.\")\n\n(See also In re Galwey, L.R.

He was tried on two indictments for forgery, and acquitted. He was held in custody, however, to answer a charge of embezzlement; and he moved, on affidavit, to be released from custody. The Court ordered the case for embezzlement to be continued, and prisoner released from custody. The Commonwealth appealed.\n\nHeld: The precise purpose for which the fugitive is to be surrendered is set out in exact and apt language, and the Act negatives, by necessary implication, the right here claimed, that the person surrendered may be tried for an offence different from that for which he was extradited, and one for which his surrender could not have been demanded.\n\n(The French Minister of Justice, in his circular of 15 April, 1841, said: \"The extradition declares the offence which leads to it, and this offence alone ought to be inquired into.\" The rule, as stated by the German author Heffter, is that: \"The individual, whose extradition has been granted, cannot be prosecuted nor tried for any crime except that for which the extradition has been obtained. To act in any other way, and to cause him to be tried for other crimes or misdemeanors, would be to violate the mutual principle of asylum, and the silent clause contained by implication in every extradition.\")\n\n(See also United States v. Rauscher, quoted in In re Alice Woodall, 57 L.J.M.C. 72; 16 Cox C.C. 478.)

While under remand a rule nisi was obtained on the ground that the warrant (i.e., the first warrant) did not sufficiently set forth the nature of the offence, &c. Before the case was argued a second warrant was issued, upon the Secretary of State's Order, describing the offence more fully.\n\nArgued, by ATHERLEY JONES, for the accused, that the first warrant does not describe a specific offence; and that the second warrant could not be set up in answer to the rule.\n\nHeld: KELLY, C.B., entertained no doubt that the description of the offence charged against the prisoner was sufficient; and that the Magistrate was entitled to remand the prisoner on the warrant with a view to further enquiry.\n\nHUDDLESTON, B., agreed, this being a warrant for safe custody of the party until the case can be properly enquired into, and the authorities show that in such warrants a general assertion or a general charge is sufficient.\n\nPage 11\n\n(The Judges differed as to whether the second warrant lodged in this case could be a valid answer to the rule, KELLY, C.B., saying: \"If the case had turned upon, or it had been necessary to refer to, or to rely at all upon, the second warrant, I should have thought it a direct violation of the first principles of the law and constitution of this country to deal with that warrant in any way unless the counsel for the accused had had an opportunity previously of seeing it and preparing himself to argue upon it.\" HUDDLESTON, B., saying: \"As far as I know, in practice and on authority, there can be no doubt whatever that a fresh warrant may be lodged; there may be one, two, three or other warrants substituted for the original one; but if, when the matter is before the Judge, there is a good warrant, that is sufficient to detain the prisoner.\")\n\n(“Abus de confiance\" in French warrant, and “fraud by an agent\" in English commitment held to be sufficient description of the offence; see ex parte Piot, 15 Cox C.C. 208; 47 J.P. 247; 48 L.T.

Ch. 236.\n\nOn 20th September, 1879, an attachment was issued by the High Court against Pooley for disobedience of an order of the Court in a civil action. On 27th September a petition in bankruptcy was filed, and Pooley was adjudicated bankrupt on 22nd October, and he soon afterwards left England. On 13th May, 1880, the trustee obtained permission to prosecute Pooley for offences against bankruptcy law. Pooley was arrested in Paris on 1st June on a warrant issued on 22nd May. On 7th June an order was obtained to lodge the writ of attachment with the Governor of Newgate, and that Pooley when released from the criminal charge should be handed over to the Governor of Holloway Prison until he had purged his contempt. On 28th June, Pooley was discharged by the Guildhall Magistrate in respect of the charges in the warrant, and he was then taken to Holloway.\n\nCHANCERY DIVISION.\n\nHe applied (9th July) to Vice-Chancellor BACON to discharge him. The motion was refused with costs.\n\nCOURT OF APPEAL.\n\nFrom this order he appealed; and the Court, after hearing evidence, Held: Disobedience of an order of the High Court of Justice in a civil action, though a contempt of Court, is not an \"offence\" within the meaning of section 19 of the Extradition Act; and Pooley was therefore not entitled to his discharge until his contempt had been purged. If a warrant under the Extradition Act is obtained, not for the bona fide purpose of punishing a person for a crime, but with the indirect object of making him amenable to an attachment in a civil action, it will be an abuse of the process of the Court, and the attachment will be set aside.\n\nR. v. JACOBI AND HILLER.\n\nGermany.\n\n3rd March, 1881.\n\nQUEEN'S BENCH: Pollock, B., and STEPHEN, J.\n\n46 L.T. (N.S.) 595, footnote.\n\nOn 23rd September, 1880, prisoners sent from Amsterdam a letter to Heininger & Co., Mayence, ordering furniture to be sent to Amsterdam. Heininger's agent called on them, and prisoners made certain alleged false statements. Furniture was supplied, sent by ordinary carrying agents to Amsterdam; it was not paid for, but was removed to England, and prisoners absconded to England. Warrants were issued at Mayence in December for the arrest of the prisoners, setting forth that they were \"suspected of fraud\" by having, with intent to procure illegal pecuniary profit, and by a promise of payment given in writing falsely and in bad faith, induced Heininger to forward furniture, thus causing pecuniary prejudice to the said firm.\n\n13\n\nThey were committed for extradition for \"obtaining goods by false pretences\"; and on application for rules nisi for writs of habeas corpus, it was\n\nContended: That if any offence had been committed it was in Holland and not in Germany; and that the German warrant of arrest was bad for insufficiency, as it did not state upon its face that the crime charged was the extradition offence of obtaining goods by false pretences, but set out a mere fraud which could be substantiated without proving a single false pretence for which they could be indicted in England; such mere fraud was not an extradition offence in the treaty.\n\nHeld: That the offence was committed in Germany, the property being actually parted with at Mayence: and that (referring to ex parte Terraz) the warrant was sufficient.\n\nPer POLLOCK, B.-It seems to me that upon all the sound principles the course of dealing of the prisoners was an obtaining of the goods in Mayence under false pretences: and the Magistrate decided upon evidence contained in those letters, which clearly show that there was false pretence, and that under those circumstances the offence was committed.\n\n(See ex parte Terras, L.R. 1 Ex.

These prisoners had been seen before the 3rd June in London with the person who subsequently brought the stolen goods from Belgium, who had been seen in Brussels at the time of the commission of the burglary. These prisoners pledged the stolen goods in London. They were committed for extradition for receiving and being accessories after the fact to the burglary.\n\nHeld: That there was no evidence at all to show that the accused were guilty of receiving these stolen goods in Belgium, though there was strong evidence of receiving stolen goods in England, and prisoners were discharged.\n\n(See R. v.

(N.S.) 592.\n\nGanz having been committed for extradition, it was argued, upon an application for a writ of habeas corpus :\n\n(i.) That, being a naturalized American subject, Ganz was not covered by the treaty, which, it was suggested, only was intended to apply to the extradition of subjects of one of the contracting parties.\n\n(ii) That there was no sufficient warrant from the Netherlands. The document relied on was headed \"Copy,\" reviewed what had been done in inferior tribunal, \"authorised proceedings, with an order for arrest,\" and had the signatures of the Court appended. The copy was certified, and bore the official seal of the Ministry of Justice at the Hague.\n\nHeld (i.) Whatever rights a man may have affected by domicile, it is clear that each person is subject to the jurisdiction of the country in which he commits a crime. The treaty is in general terms: \"any person accused of any of the crimes ... the requiring party committed within the jurisdiction of any person except (see Article III.) subjects (as defined by this Article) of the surrendering State.\n\n(i.) It is impossible to say that what is here put forward is not a judicial document authorising arrest (see interpretation clause, section 26 of the Act of 1870). \"We cannot expect that all the original documents, being judgments of foreign Courts, could be produced in London; so provision is made in section 15 for the reception of authenticated copies.\"\n\nApplication refused.\n\n(See letter from Chief Magistrate to Home Office of 9th October, 1900.)\n\nR. v.

(N.S.) 630; 31 W.R. 60.\n\nOn 25th May, 1882, Weil was arrested on Board the \"Servia\" in Queenstown Harbour by a police officer, without any warrant, in consequence of a telegram received from a private inquiry agent in London, for forgery in U.S.A., and was taken before the resident magistrate, who remanded him, and afterwards sent him to Bow Street, where he was remanded by the Chief Magistrate; and afterwards the Secretary of State issued his order to the Magistrate to \"proceed\"; upon objection being taken that the prisoner was illegally in custody, the Chief Magistrate issued a Warrant for his arrest, and this was read over to him in the dock. He was afterwards committed.\n\nA Divisional Court of the QUEEN'S BENCH refused an application for a writ of habeas corpus.\n\nUpon appeal to the COURT OF APPEAL, it was\n\nArgued: The original arrest was unlawful, and before he could be properly apprehended he must be set at liberty. The evidence before the Irish Magistrate was not sufficient to justify issue of warrant to apprehend. The Secretary of State's order to 'proceed' was not in accordance with the form in the Schedule to the Act. The warrant of committal was not addressed to any constable by name.\n\nHeld: If the accused is already in custody, a warrant for his \"detention\" is a warrant for his \"apprehension\"; no irregularity in the proceedings.\n\nPer BRETT, L.J.: I doubt much whether a policeman is not justified in arresting a man without a warrant on reasonable grounds of suspicion of his having done that which would be a felony if committed in this country.\n\nEvidence for the warrant must be such as \"in the opinion of the person issuing\" would justify.\n\n(No appeal from Court of King's Bench to Court of Appeal, see In re Alice Woodall, 57 L.J.M.C. 72; 16 Cox C.C. 478.)\n\nEX PARTE PIOT.\n\nFrance.\n\n25th January, 1883.\n\nQUEEN'S BENCH :\n\nPOLLOCK, B., and MANISTY, J.\n\n15 Cox C.C. 208; 47 J.P. 247; 48 L.T.

Ingham disclosed no offence cognizable by our law.\n\n(iii) The form of warrant of committal, in which the offence was described as \"fraud by an agent,\" was insufficient for not disclosing, with certainty, the offence charged.\n\nHeld: Both warrants (i.) and (iii.) were sufficient.\n\n(ii) The facts upon the depositions disclosed a prima facie case of fraud by an agent within 24 & 25 Vic. c. 96 s. 75 to justify the prisoner's committal for trial if the offence had been committed in England, and his committal was therefore good.\n\nPer MANISTY, J., as to (iii.): It is not the warrant (of committal) that is to be looked to for ascertaining what the offence or crime is for which the man is to be detained.\n\nYou find the\n\n(Referring to section 3 (2)\n\n514",

U.S.A.\n\n5th May, 1888.\n\nCOURT OF APPEAL: Lord ESHER, M.R., LINDLEY, L.J., and Bowen, L.J.\n\nL.R. 20 Q.B.D. 832; 57 LJ.M.C. 71.\n\nThe accused having been committed for surrender, application was made to a Divisional Court for an order nisi for the issue of a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that the Magistrate had declined to adjourn the case in order that evidence in favour of the accused might be obtained from New York, and that upon the evidence before the Magistrate he ought not to have committed. The Divisional Court refused the order on these grounds. Motion was now made, by way of appeal, for an order nisi.\n\nHeld: That the decision of the Queen's Bench Division was given in a \"criminal cause or matter\" within section 47 of the Judicature Act, 1873, and therefore no appeal would lie to the Court of Appeal.\n\nIN RE ALICE WOODALL.\n\nU.S.A.\n\n9th May, 1888.\n\nQUEEN'S BENCH: Lord COLERIDGE, C.J., FIELD and WILLS, JJ.\n\n57 L.J.M.C. 72; 16 Cox C.C. 478.\n\nPrisoner had been committed for extradition on two charges of forgery. A rule nisi for a writ of habeas corpus was obtained on the ground that there was no sufficient provision made by the Government of the United States that she should not be tried for an offence other than that for which she was extradited, as required by the Extradition Act, section 3 (2).\n\nHeld (discharging the rule)\n\nThat the United States Government had made provision for this sub-section, and that a fugitive criminal would be tried there solely for the offence in respect of which he had been surrendered. This point had been clearly raised and decided in the United States v. Rauscher, which, as a decision of the Supreme Court of America, was binding on all Courts within the Union.\n\n(It is mentioned in the report (Cox) of this case that in consequence of Lawrence having been tried in the United States for offences other than those for which he was surrendered, the British Government refused to surrender Winslow without a pledge that the prisoner should not be tried except for the offence for which he was extradited; the United States refused to give this pledge, and Winslow was never surrendered.)\n\n(For case of United States v.

Ingham, before whom evidence was given on six occasions ; then Mr. Vaughan took up the case, and on five days heard evidence, and then committed the prisoner for extradition.\n\nA rule nisi for a writ of habeas corpus was granted on the grounds that no evidence of the prisoner's crime had been given before Mr. Vaughan, and that the magistrate's decision as to nationality was wrong.\n\nHeld That the judicial discretion which a Magistrate has to exercise on cases brought before him must be based on the evidence taken before him, and it is not competent for him to act upon evidence taken before another Magistrate. There was however sufficient evidence before Mr. Vaughan without that which was taken before Sir J. Ingham; and the order nisi was discharged.\n\nAs to the question of nationality, it was\n\nHeld That the Queen's Bench Division has a right to review the finding of the Magistrate upon a matter of fact which is cardinal to the existence of his jurisdiction and collateral to the subject of enquiry.\n\nBy direction of the Court--the affidavits as to nationality being conflicting --an issue was tried on 20th and 21st December before HUDDLeston, B., and a common jury as to whether prisoner was a \"native born or naturalised subject\" of this country; this was found against the prisoner.\n\n(See also ex parte Hugel, 12 Cox C.C. 551; 29 L.T.

Bruni, leader of the revolt, in cross-examination before the Magistrate, said, \"The death of Rossi was a misfortune, and not necessary for the rising.\" Castioni was committed for extradition, and the Magistrate held that the crime was not of a political character.\n\n(Upon a motion to the QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION for a rule nisi for a writ of habeas corpus Counsel appeared to show cause, and it was, therefore, argued and treated as a motion for a rule absolute.)\n\nHeld That the homicide for which prisoner's extradition was demanded was incidental to, and formed part of, political disturbances, and, therefore, was an offence of a political character within the meaning of section 3 of the Extradition Act, 1870; and prisoner was discharged.\n\nThe Court adopted the definition of \"an offence of a political character\" suggested by Stephen, J., in his History of the Criminal Law of England, vol. 2, p. 71.\n\nHeld also: That the Court was not bound by the decision of the Magistrate on the facts before him, but had power to consider the whole matter, and to receive fresh evidence. (See page 6.)\n\n(As to PROCEDURE ON APPEAL TO COURT OF KING'S BENCH, see R v. de Portugal, L.R. 16 Q.B.D. 487; 55 L.J.

In 4 out of the 19 cases charged the facts amount to fraud by a bailee or agent within section 76 of the Larceny Act. \"Embezzlement\" is only the word used to translate the French word, and might equally well be rendered \"fraudulent misappropriation.\"\n\nPer CAVE, J. There is a warrant which describes this as a crime of fraud by an agent, and the evidence satisfied the Magistrate that on some of these charges it was sufficient; and as to some of them the Court considers he was right. I do not see that there is any reason why the warrant, which is in perfectly general terms, is not to be held by us to be good in respect of the four cases as to which there is sufficient prima facie evidence to go upon.\n\n(As to DESCRIPTION OF OFFENCE, See Ex parte Terraz, L.R. 4 Ex.

Baring in 1883, and that, during a period of a few months in 1890, he had sold several of these bonds to innocent purchasers.\n\nUpon an application for a writ of habeas corpus, it was\n\nHeld: That there was evidence of guilty knowledge on which he could be committed for trial; and, assuming that prisoner knew that the bonds were stolen, his conduct amounted to a false representation of their genuineness, which was not cured by the fact that, the bonds passing freely from hand to hand, an innocent purchaser would be able to get his money back again.\n\n517",

Q.B.D. 1894 (1) 420; 58 J.P. 282.\n\nOne Ebstein was committed for surrender to France in connection with a larceny of jewellery and other articles. Upon the hearing of the case, certain articles were produced under a subpœna duces tecum by a witness who had purchased them from the accused in England, and were identified as part of the property stolen. The Magistrate, on committing Ebstein, orally directed a constable to take charge of the property so produced and identified, in order that it might be produced at the trial in France.\n\nThe purchaser applied under 11 and 12 Vic. c. 44 s. 5, for an order directing the Magistrate to order the property to be delivered up to him.\n\nHeld: The Magistrate was functus officio as soon as he had committed the accused; and the Court had no power to make an order on him to do something outside the ordinary course of his judicial functions.\n\nWhen the jewellery passed out of his hands by virtue of the process of the Court (subpoena duces tecum) the purchaser's possessory title became divested by order of the Court. I think it is undoubted law that when articles have once been produced in Court by witnesses it is right and necessary for the Court, or the constable to preserve and retain them so that they may be always available for the purposes of justice until the trial is concluded.\n\n23\n\nAnarchists' offences impose the government of their own choice on the other. are not political, being in the main attacks on private citizens generally, rather than on governments or on members of any particular government as such.\n\n(As to POLITICAL OFFENCE, see\n\nIn re Castioni, L.R.

That the demand for extradition was not made in good faith and in the interests of justice; 4. That the offences imputed were all of them political in their character, and the surrender was demanded from exclusively political motives. As to 4. Counsel admitted that the offences in themselves were not of a political character, but it was contended that, if properly extradited, the prisoner, when he got into the hands of the French Government, would be compelled to disclose matters which he knew, and in which the State was interested, or undergo indefinite imprisonment.\n\nHeld: That the provisions of section 3 (1) of the Extradition Act, 1870, apply only to an offence of a political character which has been already committed; and it is not open to the Court to consider ground 3, such consideration resting with the Government: and cannot enter into the judicial consideration of the question.\n\nWrit granted on ground 1 as to falsification of accounts.\n\n(As to POLITICAL OFFENCES, see\n\nIn re Castioni, L.R.

It was a criminal case depending before the Supreme Court of Gibraltar, which had concurrent original jurisdiction with the Court in Morocco. When once it is ascertained that the Supreme Court of Gibraltar was rightly seised of the jurisdiction to try, their Lordships think that the mode prescribed by the Gibraltar Order in Council must be pursued.\" Appellant was entitled to trial with a jury.\n\n(Appellant was ultimately acquitted by a jury at Gibraltar.)\n\nFurther papers having subsequently been submitted by the German Government, Bluhm was again brought up on the 5th March and committed on four further cases.\n\nAn order nisi for a writ of habeas corpus was obtained on the grounds of there being no sufficient evidence within two months for his extradition; and of irregularity in any proceedings after the two months: and of there being no evidence of the identity of the accused with the person wanted in Germany.\n\nHeld: There was sufficient evidence produced in reference to the one case within two months of apprehension, and prisoner was therefore not entitled to the benefit of Article XII. In regard to the other grounds it seems to me that the proceedings were entirely regular. The right given by Article XII. to a person against whom a case had not been made is to be absolutely set at liberty: if that does not apply the procedure is to be the same as the procedure in this country. It may be that when he gets over to Germany, and he is tried there, he may be entitled to say, under Article VII., or under the provisions of the law of Germany in accordance with Article VII, I have only been properly extradited with reference to one of these charges.

        "content_text": "CIRCULAR.\n\nDowning Street,\n\n15th September, 1897.\n\n523\n\nWITH reference to Lord Knutsford's Circular despatch of the 14th February, 1891, relating to the arrest of Fugitive Offenders, I have the honour to inform you that, in order to facilitate the arrest of Fugitive Offenders from this country, it is proposed that in future the Secretary of State for Home Affairs should communicate directly with some Authority in a Colony for the arrest of an offender, in the same way that Colonial Governments are authorised to communicate directly with Police Authorities in this country in the case of a fugitive offender from the Colonies; and unless you see any objection to this proposal, I have to request to be informed to what Colonial Officer your Government would wish telegrams and letters in such matters should be addressed in order to secure the utmost expedition possible. The Officer selected should be in possession of the \"Telegraph Code for the use of the Police,\" and I shall be glad to be informed at the same time whether the Officer is the one already authorised to communicate with the Metropolitan Police.\n\nIn the case of any telegram being sent from the Home Office applying for the arrest of a fugitive, it is to be understood that the payment of any expenses thereby incurred is guaranteed by the Imperial Government.\n\nThe Secretary of State for the Home Department has also suggested that in order to obviate the delay and expense often entailed by sending out a Police Officer to receive a prisoner, it might be possible to arrange for the conveyance of a prisoner in the custody of the master of a ship under Section 27 of the Fugitive Offenders Act, 1881. Sir Matthew Ridley is not aware of any difficulty having arisen in the cases where prisoners have been removed under the Act without being in the custody of a Police Officer, and he would be glad to learn whether your Government will be able to adopt this procedure in cases where the Home Office desires it.\n\nOn the receipt of the replies to this Circular despatch a further communication will be addressed to you, stating the date on which the new arrangement would come into effect, and containing a list of a few additions to the Telegraph Code which will facilitate its operation.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient, humble Servant,\n\nJ. CHAMBERLAIN.\n\nPage 14\n\nDowning Street,\n\n24th July, 1899.\n\nSIR,\n\nWITH reference to my Circular despatch of the 15th September, 1897, I have the honour to inform you that the procedure proposed therein, in connection with the arrest of Fugitive Offenders, will come into operation on the 1st October next.\n\nI enclose a Memorandum containing instructions with regard to telegraphic communications between the Home Office and Colonial Police Authorities.\n\nIt should be understood that the procedure now to be introduced in order to facilitate the provisional arrest in the Colonies of fugitives from the United Kingdom does not involve any change in the arrangements made in 1891, and described in Lord Knutsford's Circular despatch of the 14th February of that year, whereby the arrest of fugitives from a Colony can be provisionally obtained in this country by a telegram addressed either to an Agent General for a responsible Government Colony or the Metropolitan Police, without the intervention of the Home Government.\n\nI have to add that in future not only will telegrams asking for the arrest of offenders be sent to the Colonies from the Home Office, but also subsequent communications respecting their surrender to this country, unless exceptional circumstances should arise making the intervention of this Department desirable. Written communications, however, will in the ordinary course be addressed to the Governors of the Colonies and not to the Police and other authorities to whom telegrams, for the sake of expedition, will in the first instance be sent.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient, humble Servant,\n\nJ. CHAMBERLAIN.\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government of\n\nPage 15",

We naturally considered that the result of the correspondence between the Secretary of State and the Colonial Department was that the Relief sought by our Petition would be granted as a matter of right and justice to us when asked for in the manner indicated.\n\nThe Relief has not, however, yet been granted and no reason given for withholding it, nor any information given to us whether the Award was arrived at after examination of the facts or not, and we have only come to the conclusion that further information has been requested from the Colonial Government to enable His Majesty's Ministers to decide what the measure of the Relief shall be.\n\nIn that belief, and as the matter is of great importance, we desire to bring to your notice the salient points of this case so far as they affect us as His Majesty's Crown Lessees.\n\nThe case was decided against us on a point of law, and the facts have not been heard by the Courts.\n\n1. Governor Sir William des Vœux, in a letter to the Honble C. J. Chater, in the Colonial Secretary's letter of the 23rd June 1888, wrote as follows:- \"The Foreshore belongs to the \"Crown, and to the Crown alone belongs the right of Reclamation and of ownership in \"the land reclaimed, the only obligation \"attaching to the latter being that of compensating the frontage owner for the \"difference if any between the value of his Marine Lot and the value of the same \"land converted into an Inland Lot by the Reclamation in front of it.\"\n\nPage 540\n\nPage 541",

The value of our Marine Lot No. 184, in the Year 1895, before the Reclamation works had been commenced in front of the Lot, was $282,000, the capitalised net rents for the Year 1895, with 10% added for compulsory sale, as stated by Messrs Leigh & Orange, Civil Engineers, Land Surveyors, Architects and Valuers, and affirmed by them under Statutory Declaration, Appendix 6-\n\nBoth these gentlemen are well acquainted with the value of Land and Buildings in the Colony, whether as Marine Lots or Inland Lots.\n\n3. The value of the Lot, after the Reclamation works had been brought in front of it, was $110,000, this being the amount for which it was sold on the 30th September 1899, after every effort had been made to obtain the highest offer. The difference between the two values is $172,000 and is not met by General Black's Award of $15,000.\n\n4.\n\n5. Beyond the above, the Attorney General stated, before the Full Court on the 30th March 1898, that he would have no objection to Mr Howard making such further claim as he could substantiate, in respect of intermediate damage caused by the alleged silting up of his foreshore during the period before the Reclamation works actually reached the front of his premises.\n\n6. This loss has been ascertained to be $25,142 - Appendix 7.\n\n7. Thus, the losses upon what have been recognized as proper subjects of Claim by Governor Des Voeux and the Attorney General amount to $197,142; and for this amount General Black as Acting Governor awarded only $15,000; and that, too, without seeing, opportunity of hearing, or giving us any knowing upon what evidence he based his Award.\n\n8. Upon the conduct of General Black in this award, Chief Justice Sir John Carrington remarked, in his Judgment as follows:- \"It was very properly admitted by the Attorney General that if the Governor as Arbitrator under the Ordinance, some of the things which are stated to have been done by the Acting Governor cannot be supported and the Court will be justified in interfering in the exercise of its general jurisdiction over subordinate tribunals.\" And at the conclusion of his Judgment said; - \"Although the legal right is taken away, yet it cannot but be a point of honour with the Governor to pay full regard to the moral right.\" And where such a right is alleged to have...",

This moral right was recognized by Her Majesty's Government as far back as in the case of the Bowring Praya Reclamation; where, in instructions to the Colonial Government, it is said: \"While, therefore, the rights \"of the Crown and the interests of the public \"require that the claim of the Crown to such \"lands should be firmly maintained, a sense of justice requires that the equitable claim of the holders of the Original Marine Lots should be liberally considered.

It is but right, however, to Governor des Voeux, to state that in his Message to the Legislative Council on the 20th March 1889, before the passing of the Reclamation Ordinance, he referred to the objections that had been made in the following words; \"It is needless to say that the Government has no desire to \"accord other than the fullest justice in respect \"of private rights; and though the provision in \"question has no doubt an arbitrary appearance, \"that aspect of it will probably disappear altogether from unprejudiced minds when fully considered.\" And at the meeting of the Legislative Council on the 29th March 1889 when two of the Members, Mr. Ryrie and W.

That the promises of the Government made through Sir William Des Vœux, and upon which we relied, as we had a right to rely, withdrawing opposition to the compensation clause in the Ordinance, should be disregarded by an Acting Governor without explanation seems to us incredible and should be inquired into by His Majesty's advisers.\n\n14. From any point of view, it will hardly be held that we ought to suffer because of our implicit reliance on the promises made by the representatives of the Crown.\n\n15. That the justice promised has not been accorded is manifest in the fact that the Government, since the Award, offered to allow us to come into the Reclamation Scheme on the terms laid down in the Reclamation Ordinance, the acceptance of which offer would have given us a sum of money far in excess of the Award of $15,000, although short of the amount found due under the methods recognized by Governor Des Vœux and the Attorney General.\n\nMr. Howard will be in London soon after you receive this letter and will call upon you to answer any questions that may be thought essential for the further information of His Majesty's advisers.\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\nYour most obedient servants,\n\nMatthew J.D.

As you have already been informed, His Majesty was not pleased to give any directions with regard to the petition, and Messrs. Stephens and Howard were so informed.\n\n3.

We are, however, of opinion that the question is of much more serious import if regarded in its political aspect, and on these grounds we strongly urge that measures should be taken to arrest what we consider is an increasing evil, and one which may grow to dangerous dimensions.\n\nThe question is much complicated by the necessity, which we acknowledge, of permitting British Colonies and Administrations to enlist natives for constabulary or similar duties, with the object of strengthening our military position in the Far East.\n\n2. It may be explained that there are in practice four classes of employment in the Far East which attract Sikhs and other natives of India of martial proclivities, namely:\n\n(i) Service in British Colonies and Settlements;\n\n(ii) Service under Foreign or cosmopolitan municipalities, such as Shanghai;\n\n(iii) Service in weak or friendly States, such as Siam or Johore;\n\n(iv) Service under our political rivals in the East.\n\nAs we have already observed, we have no objection to natives of India taking service under (i), nor have we at present any serious objections to (ii) and (iii), except that under all these conditions there is a tendency for men to drift away to service under (iv). Men who are dismissed by their employers\n\n550",

        "content_text": "2\n\nYear\n\nor whose engagements terminate naturally, look around for other employment, and if they are offered remunerative service under Foreign Powers, they not unnaturally accept such employment. It is this tendency which we wish to check.\n\n3. In our opinion the surest means of arresting this flow of fighting men to foreign service is to insist, where we can do so, upon their repatriation to India before the expiry of their term of service or on dismissal.\n\nThis, so far as British Administrations are concerned, may be effected in one of two ways: (i) that is that His Majesty's Government shall only permit the enlistment of natives of India by such Administrations, subject to the condition that they are repatriated at the end of their term of service or on dismissal, the cost of return passages being, if necessary, deducted from the pay of the men. (ii) The second is that recruiting for British Administrations shall be conducted entirely through the Indian Government, the term of service ending in India. We are of opinion that the latter method has the advantage over the former, in that it would reduce the independent flow of emigrants from India in search of military or police employment in the East. On the other hand, it would add considerably to the responsibilities of our recruiting officers.\n\nIt would of course rest with the Government of India to limit the numbers of any particular class which might be enlisted.\n\n4. We further consider that, as natives of India have for long been accustomed to take service as mercenaries under Foreign Governments, they do not perhaps fully recognize their duties as British subjects. We therefore propose that a warning be addressed to all men recruited in India in the future or who are now in the service of British Administrations in the Far East that they will become rebels and be liable to certain pains and penalties, if, having entered the service of a Foreign Power, they continue to serve that Power when at war with Great Britain.\n\n5. Finally, we would suggest that the present procedure by which emigrants from India to the Straits are prevented\n\nVide Section 2 of the Straits Settlements Ordinance No. VII of 1894. An Ordinance for the Protection of Indian Immigrants.\n\nfrom going from the Straits to countries to which emigration from India is unlawful, be extended so as to prevent all classes from which recruits are drawn from leaving Singapore for ports further East without a permit.\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\nMY LORD,\n\nYour Lordship's most obedient, humble Servants,\n\n(Signed) T.

In this connection I am to point out that the position as regards a ship's nationality is not precisely as stated in sub-heading C of your letter referred to above, as it will be seen from the enclosed Memorandum that a vessel is only to be considered as belonging to a given nation if so considered by the law of the said nation.

All interested in the matter and at the same time having right to complain under Treaty would be Austria-Hungary, and the Board understand that the Austrian law only permits the use of the Austrian flag in cases of vessels owned either entirely or in great part by Austrian subjects. If therefore the operation of the proposed ordinance is strictly confined to Chinese-owned junks, there should be no great likelihood of difficulties arising in practice. Vessels of German and United States nationality could not under Treaty claim to receive the same treatment at Hong Kong as British vessels.\n\nThe Board are consequently of opinion that in view of the special circumstances of the case and of the remoteness of the danger of any practical difficulty arising from treaty stipulations, the course proposed by Sir H. Blake, viz: that the Hong Kong Government should be authorised to refuse a licence to any Chinese-owned junk flying a foreign flag might be approved, leaving it to any country that considers its treaty rights infringed by the Ordinance to make a complaint in the usual way.\n\nAs regards the proposal of Sir H. Blake that the onus of proof of ownership should be thrown on the master of the junk, the Board of Trade assume that the Hong Kong Government would be prepared to accept any proof of ownership which would be accepted under the law of the country whose flag is claimed, at least in the first instance.",

The task involves proofreading OCR output, but the given text does not seem to be OCR output with errors; rather, it appears to be a phrase or sentence in Persian.\n\n## Step 2\nTo follow the instructions, we need to identify if there's any OCR-related task to be performed. Since the input is a simple Persian phrase, we'll check if it needs any correction or formatting according to the given rules.\n\n## Step 3\nThe rules provided are extensive and cover various aspects of proofreading OCR output, including formatting, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, and more. However, the given text \"گر در ارومیه\" is a coherent Persian phrase and doesn't directly indicate it's OCR output that needs correction.\n\n## Step 4\nGiven the text is in Persian and assuming it's part of a larger document or text that has been OCR-processed, we should check for any potential issues like missing or incorrect characters due to OCR errors.\n\n## Step 5\nThe phrase \"گر در ارومیه\" translates to \"If in Urmia\" or could be part of a larger sentence. Without more context, it's hard to determine if it's correctly OCR'd or not. Urmia (ارومیه) is a city in Iran, so the phrase could be part of a sentence discussing a condition or situation related to Urmia.\n\n## Step 6\nSince the task involves proofreading and the input is a simple phrase without obvious OCR errors (like character misrecognition), and given that there's no clear indication of what exactly needs to be proofread or corrected, we will proceed under the assumption that the task is to ensure the text is properly formatted according to the rules.\n\n## Step 7\nThe rules specify using Markdown formatting for structure. However, the output is required in HTML using  for paragraphs. The input phrase is short and could stand alone as a paragraph.\n\n## Step 8\nTo adhere to the output format requirement, we will wrap the input text in HTML paragraph tags.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nگر در ارومیه",

        "content_text": "can only speak a very rudimentary sort of Chinese. The affinities of the Minchia have yet to be studied, but they do not appear to be connected with any Thibetan or Shan stock, though the Shans once reigned at Ta Li. Near Hsia Kuan to this day is shown a \"wan jen tui,\" or tumulus of the 10,000 which is popularly supposed to be the grave of the warriors who fell in a great battle when a Chinese attempt to get possession of the country was defeated with heavy loss.\n\nThe Minchia are remarkable as being the only non-Chinese tribe in Yünnan which has mingled with the Chinese on something like equal terms; they have retained their lands and their language, but they have adopted the literature, the religious ideas, and, at least in the case of the men, the dress of the Chinese. A literatus of Ta Li who would be inclined to draw but little distinction between Kachins, Miao, Lisaw, and other wild tribes puts the Minchia on a higher level. \"They read books,\" i.e., the classics. It is to be feared that it would be a work of great difficulty to unearth Minchia ideas, which are covered by a superstructure of Chinese beliefs; merely as a guess, I suggest that they may be connected with the Man Tzu of Szechuan. The Minchia are peasants, and nothing more; the shop-keepers at markets such as Hsi Chon, 40 li north of Ta Li, or at Chiang Wei, at the north head of the lake, are Chinese. The Minchia villages and farmhouses are exceedingly well built, and I am inclined to think that the top storey, which is found in nearly all Yunnan country houses, but is so contrary to Chinese ideas, was derived from the Minchia. In the Ta Li plain, where wood is scarce, the Minchia house is a substantial stone structure built with the limestone and conglomerate which is littered about under the Tsang Shan; but the best type of Minchia dwelling is to be found in the Hoching Valley. It is commonly built round three sides of a square, the fourth side being closed with a wall in which there is a porch. The lower storey is of mud or sun-baked brick on a stone foundation, and sometimes with stone pillars, but the top storey is of wood, the architecture resembling that of a Swiss chalet. The section opposite the porch is usually the dwelling-house, while one of the sides is given up to the cattle, with a straw-loft over them, and the other side is used as a grain store. Comfort and cleanliness these houses are far superior to the Chinese, as I can testify after having enjoyed many days of Minchia hospitality, which is readily given in places where there are no inns.\n\nThe pure Minchia type resembles that of the Romany or gipsy, save that it is lighter in complexion; the Minchia women have natural feet, manage boats, carry loads, do masons' and bricklayers' work, and in the La Shi salt district I have even seen them acting as muleteers.\n\nWholesale commerce has quite deserted Ta Li, but there is a busy market every five days, and in the third moon occurs the annual fair, or \"yueh kai,\" a commercial event of some importance. It is held outside the West Gate, and lasts for five days, after which a good deal of business is done in the city itself for fourteen days before the merchants disperse. The number of persons attending the fair is given at various figures, but it is usually stated to be only one-third of the old days before the rebellion. The official Proclamations state that for the \"yueh kai\" \"myriads of merchants from the four quarters of the globe collect together dense as the clouds;\" but Chinese Proclamations have to be taken in a Pickwickian sense, and I believe that the present attendance is not over 5,000. Thibetans and representatives of all the tribes in West Yünnan come in some force, while besides Yünnanese there are, of course, Cantonese and Szechuanese; I am not aware that any natives of India attend. Drugs, including China-root, rhubarb, and musk, mules and ponies, Thibetan wools, tea and brown sugar in small cakes, cottons and cloths, are the chief objects of exchange, and I believe that the fair is still of sufficient importance to be worth the attention of British or Indian merchants desirous of opening up new lines.\n\nAmong other minor products of Ta Li I may mention pigs' bristles, which are of good quality, but not, perhaps, easy to collect in sufficient quantity, and straw braid used for the native sun-hats. The plaiting leaves to be desired at present, but this might be improved for foreign buyers, and the straw itself is of excellent quality.\n\nThe traveller who has passed through the rich fields and flourishing villages of the Ta Li Plain, and has enjoyed the double view of hill and lake (\"tsang esh esh kuan\") is interested to learn how this happy valley first came into existence. The curious folklorist may discern traditions of the early struggles of the first Chinese settlers in the legend of the advent of Buddhism, and perhaps of some geological cataclysm. In the ancient days the waters of the lake lapped the foot of the Tsang Shan, and there was no plain. The caverns in the hills were inhabited by a \"yao kwei,\" or monstrous being, who used to sally forth, and for his food tear out and devour the eyes of the Chinese in the neighbourhood. Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, pitying the sorrows of the black-haired people, appeared upon the scene disguised as a venerable Buddhist nun in her \"ka sha,\" or yellow robe and accompanied by a lame dog. Addressing the monster, she promised to supply him with the food which he liked on condition that he would give her a patch of dry land under the hills. \"How much dry land?\" asked the monster. \"The breadth,\" replied the goddess, \"of my yellow robe and the length of three leaps of my lame dog.\" After some haggling a contract on these terms was reduced to writing. But when the aged nun spread out the robe it covered a space of 15 li, and such was the uncommon agility of the lame dog that in three leaps he cleared a space of 100 li. For his food the goddess captured shell-fish, and gave the eye-like contents to the \"yao kwei\"; the voracious but unwary monster seems to have thought that he had been swindled, and became obstreperous; whereupon the goddess seized him and interned him in a hole or cavern in the earth near Hsi Chou, where there was only a small open slit through which he could breathe. In his struggles, his fiery breath issuing from the slit burned up the waters of the lake. But the goddess had cast a spell on the monster; so long as Chinese assemble at the West Gate of Ta Li during the third moon so long must the monster remain in durance vile; wherefore to this day, at the commencement of the great spring fair, the General comes out in state and fires off all his artillery, so that the dragon may know that the time of his release is not yet.\n\nIn case this bald narrative fails to convince the sceptical western, I may point out that the length of the Ta Li Plain from the upper to the lower pass is, in fact, 100 li, and its breadth 15 li. Is not the shore of the lake littered with empty shells, the contents of which have been devoured by the \"yao kwei\"? Is not there at Hsi Chou a long narrow strip of land stretching into the lake from which the water was blown by the struggling prisoner? Was not the contract between him and the goddess reduced to writing and engraved on stone that all might see? and finally, is it not a fact that to this day an annual crowd has assembled outside the West Gate for the third-moon fair, and that the \"yao kwei\" has never once emerged from his prison?\n\nFrom Ta Li city to the Shang Kuan (upper pass) is an easy march of 16 miles in a northerly direction across the level plain, between the lake on the right and the Tsang Shan on the left. The main caravan route is at the foot of the mountains, but the lower road which leads by the shores of the lake is much more agreeable, as it gives an opportunity of observing the lake villages which cluster on the stone bunds fringing the shore, and in the morning, of shooting some wild geese and duck as they fly back to the lake after their night feed in the fallow fields. Shang Kuan is a small tumble-down village with a li-kin and Prefect's tax station, at each of which about 1,000 taels are collected annually on goods going north. Travellers for Lichiang usually pass Shang Kuan to the head of the lake, and leaving the bridge of boats and the series of marshes through which flows the principal feeder of the lake, slightly to the east, enter the plain of Teng Chuan at the tiny city of that name. This plain is about ... miles by ... miles, and is well supplied with water from several large lagoons in which heavy crops of rushes are grown for fuel.\n\nAt Yui So, ... miles, there is a market where Chinese and Minchia exchange grain, opium, sugar, salt, cloth, pigs, mules, and cattle; and at miles ... the river is crossed at Chung So. It is here 25 yards broad, shallow, and flows for some miles between high artificial embankments, the safety of which are of prime importance to local agriculture.\n\nAt 15 miles the road and river leave the Teng Chuan Valley by a gorge. The road then leads through broken ground along the foot-hills of the east side of the Lang Kung Valley, past the hamlet of Ying Shan P'u, and through fertile country to Nui Kai, an important market of about 150 houses, and so to the north-east corner of the fertile Lang Kung Valley. At Kuan Yin Shan the road enters the hills and splits into two tracks, the one going a little west of north to Chien Chuan Chou (one long stage), and the other which I followed leading over an important pass into the Yang tsze basin. After leaving Kuan Yin Shan we commenced an ascent up a gorge by a fair road, and spent the night in a log hut on an open terrace in the hills (San Chiu Tang), whence there was a fine view. The next day we ascended the silent and frost-bound pass of Kwa La, past rhododendron scrub and frozen marshes, varied with patches of forest. At the village of Kwa La, which consists of a few wattle huts, we observed the plaited bamboo basket industry, which is of some local importance, and so descended to the guard station of the Hei Nui (the Black Ox), situated in a gorge by a rushing stream; here a salt road from Chien Chuan joined our route, and there is considerable passing traffic. At 13 miles beyond Hei Nui a road branches off east to Sung Kwei, which is an important market near the Yang-tsze. It is an entrepôt of the salt, sugar, and tobacco trade, and also a pony and mule market.\n\nPage 9\n\nAt ...\n\n248",

He would not fail to lay stress on Hongkong's assistance and the extreme fairness of the terms of the loan when sending the text of the Agreement to the Wai-wu-pu; and he felt confident that this would facilitate any negotiations with China in which the Colony may be engaged far better than if he actually advocated meeting your wishes as to the Canton Kowloon railway. When I asked to see the arrangement so as to give the Colony first option of providing capital, matériel and half the engineers having charge of the Canton Hankow line as of any railways requiring foreign aid and built in Hupei and Hunan, His Excellency bade his Secretary draft a letter, which, as I understood that His Excellency might not be at Wuchang indefinitely, he agreed to a formal despatch, copy and translation of which I have the honour to enclose.\n\nThe negotiations for the present loan were, so far as I can learn, unknown outside until a late stage though circumstances compelled us to employ a consulate writer to copy the Agreement.\n\nI have the honour to be, \n\nYour Excellency's \n\nobedient Servant, \n\n[Signature not clear]\n\n## Mayr Sir Matthew Nathan K.C.M.G. \n\nGovernor of Hong Kong \n\nPage 13 \nPage 12",

As we turned out of the Sainum Creek into the North River, it was difficult to realize that the stretch of sluggish, muddy water before us, differing little in appearance from the typical delta creek, was to become later on a noble river forcing its way for over 200 miles through mountain ranges, and giving access, with its many tributaries, to the uttermost parts of northern Kuangtung.\n\nFor some miles above Samshui the banks continue low, the country being almost entirely devoted to the cultivation of the mulberry. The smoking brick-kilns which line the bank on both sides form the most striking feature of the landscape. These kilns supply the cities in the delta with bricks baked red, grey, and dark green—the latter the best quality—and tiles, both flat and fluted.\n\nSome 6 miles from its mouth the interesting Bamboo River unobtrusively joins the main stream. Rising in the but little known north-east corner of Kuang-si, the Bamboo River is one of the Pakkong's principal tributaries. It is said to be navigable for light-draught steamers for some distance up, but a shifting sandy bar at its mouth has so far deterred our gun-boats from exploring this picturesque stream. It is famous for the luxuriant bamboo groves which line the banks for upwards of 100 miles. The large market town of Shek-kou, at the entrance to the bamboo country, is the chief centre of trade in the district, and here the great rafts are put together which, dropping down to Canton and Fatshan through the narrow creeks in the delta, form a serious impediment to steam navigation on these waters. From the Bamboo River the cities of the delta derive their supplies of bamboo, that useful article which Chinese ingenuity has adapted to every conceivable use, till it has become part and parcel of their every-day life, and almost a national symbol.\n\nAt 10 o'clock we reached Lupao, a busy town on the right, i.e., east bank, 20 miles distant from Samshui, the seat of a big li-kin station. Launches run daily junks in summer, leads to Canton, distance approximately 45 miles. Almost all the year round between Lupao and Canton via Sainam and Fatshan; the service is continued during the summer months to Tsing-yuen and Yingtak. Twenty-miles above Lupao is Shek-kok, a large town on the right bank, with four pawnshops, a well-preserved pagoda on the opposite bank, and considerable shipping; the surrounding country is low, and a fine embankment, which burst through neglect some years ago with disastrous result, stretches for over a mile along the river bank below the town.\n\nThe Tsing-yuen Hills—said to be the prehistoric coast line of this part of the province—which have hitherto formed a background in the blue distance, now come into clearer view, the river widens, and at the same time becomes shallower, winding in and out between sandy islands, until at a bend in the river westward we come in sight of the two pagodas guarding the approaches to the district city of Tsing-yuen. Here, at 4 P.M., the \"Robin\" anchored for the night. Tsing-yuen is a well-built, prosperous-looking town, stretching for over a mile along the left bank of the river, the water front covered with shipping and an unusually gaudy display of \"flower boats.\" I estimate its population at about 50,000. We landed in the evening and walked through the principal street running outside the wall, parallel to the river bank; the people were inquisitive, but not unfriendly. The shops had the usual display of foreign goods, apparently all derived from Canton. The famous Tsing-yuen tea, grown on the hills behind the town was on sale in most of the principal shops. It is, I understand, a low-grade tea—I bought half a-pound for 20 cents, about 4d.—and is shipped in large quantities to Canton for export to the Straits Settlements. The other chief product of the district is brown sugar, called pau sugar, sent to Samshui for transhipment to Canton and Macao. A launch leaves Tsing-yuen every morning at daylight for Canton. Here I saw for the first time the new Chinese commercial flag, a most inartistic production, having the added disadvantage of being at a distance hardly distinguishable from the red ensign. Both Protestant (American Baptist) and Roman Catholic missionaries have made their headquarters in the town for some years past; they are, I am told, after many vicissitudes, now doing well. I was unfortunate in finding them all absent—the Protestants recruiting at the coast, the Roman Catholics travelling in the interior. It is remarkable that a town of the size of Tsing-yuen should be without a telegraph office. Although the line passes along the opposite bank of the river, the nearest station is at Pakkong-kou, 15 miles away. One wonders why the local merchants and gentry have in these progressive days been content to remain so long cut off from telegraphic communication with the outer world. There is a branch office of the Imperial Chinese post in the main street.\n\nThe hills in the vicinity of Tsing-yuen are still fairly rich in timber, and tigers are said to be plentiful on their jungle-covered slopes. Here the plain abruptly ends; henceforward the river flows through a mountainous country which extends, practically without interruption, to the borders of Hunan and Kiangsi.\n\nAs the water was falling we decided to push on to Ying-tak the following morning and defer exchanging visits with the Tsing-huen Magistrate to the return journey. As things turned out I had no opportunity of calling on this official; but as I learnt that, in common with most of his colleagues in the provinces, he was a new arrival, I doubt if he would have been able to afford me any useful information.\n\nLeaving Tsing-yuen the next morning, the 7th July, at 6 o'clock we came after a two hours run to the celebrated gorge of Fei-lo-ssu (in Cantonese, Fi-loy-tze), where the river narrows down to flow through a narrow winding pass between hills rising abruptly from the water's edge to a height of some 500 feet or 600 feet. At the entrance to the gorge lies the salt station of Pai-miao (Pak-miu) where salt for the Lienchou district is transferred from the large Canton junks into smaller craft. The fishing village on the opposite side has an evil reputation for piracy. Half way through the gorge, which is some 3 miles long, stands the famous Buddhist monastery of Fi-loy-tze, forming with its shrines, halls, and kiosks picturesquely perched in the midst of a thickly wooded ravine, a notable example of Chinese ecclesiastical architecture. The graves of Fi-loy-tze are well known throughout the province; it was here that Dr. B. C. Henry, the missionary, whose book entitled 'Ling nam' should accompany every traveller in the Canton Province, discovered amongst other rare flowers, two new species of rhododendron. In this gorge we noticed for the first time the limestone quarries which occur at short intervals on both banks of the river for the next 50 miles; a succession of boats deeply laden with limestone pass daily down river to the limekilns of the delta.\n\nAbove the gorge the river broadens again, the hills recede from the bank, becoming higher and better wooded than before. They now begin to assume the fantastic shapes which form such a striking feature of Kuangtung mountain scenery: jagged masses of rock, isolated peaks, cliffs rising up from the water's edge; huge boulders set on top of grass-covered slopes, changing their shape from hour to hour as the river pursues its winding course among them.\n\nJust before noon, at a point about 24 miles below the small market town of Wong-shek, we came up with a party of American engineers engaged in making the final survey... \n\nPage 352",

The principal points, according to the \"Courrier Saigonnais\" as quoted by the \"South China Morning Post,\" are:-\n\n1. Indo-China must be put in a position to defend itself long enough to allow a French fleet to come out sufficiently powerful to defeat the enemy and retain command of the sea. A common plan of operations should be established between the Colonial, Naval, and Military Departments.\n\n2. \n| Point | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | The bases at Saigon and Cape St. James should be consolidated, and new bases created at Along Bay, Kamranh, Fort Dayot, and Pulo Condore. |\n| (b) | All the old armoured vessels of no value in the reserve division should be discarded. |\n| (c) | The establishment of a second naval base at Hongay should be given up and a mobile system of defence created. |\n| (d) | The permanent stock of coal at Saigon should be increased. |\n| (e) | The floating dock now in construction should be used pending the establishment of a second dock for repairs. |\n| (f) | The maritime defence in Cochin-China should be reorganized and one in Tonquin organized. |\n| (g) | Wireless telegraph stations should be organized. |\n\n3. A sanatorium for European troops should be established.\n\n4. Recruits should be enlisted locally to act as reserves.\n\n5. The necessary expenses for the work must to a large extent be borne by Indo-China itself.\n\nAccording to an article in the \"Petit Journal,\" M. Deloncle estimates the expense of carrying out his proposals at 210,000,000 fr.\n\n**(Signed)** **GEORGE COMBE**\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\nSketch of Old and New Proposed Routes of the Yünnan Railway.\n\n[Not printed.]\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\nMap of Railway Systems of Indo-China, June 30, 1905.\n\n[Not printed.]\n\nPakhoi, June 30, 1905.\n\nPage 345",

        "content_text": "## 2\n\nagree to the arrangement come to by Admiral Bayle and the Company's agent on the 19th October, 1903, and recorded in the procès-verbal. Of this I was already aware from Mr. Wynne's letter to Sir Ernest Satow of the 30th December, 1903, extract from which was inclosed in your despatch No. 105, but the French Minister's attitude towards the actual arrangement proposed did not affect the fact that the deeds had been examined by a French Commission and recognized as **assez sérieux**.\n\nIt did not seem, however, that it would serve any useful purpose to pursue the question further, and the matter was allowed to drop.\n\nAfter a further delay of a few days a French Commission, consisting of M. Claudel, the French Consul; M. Lépice, of the French Consulate; Captain Marchand, French Naval Representative at Chingwantao; a M. Blanchet, and the French Consulate Chinese writer, called at His Majesty's Consulate-General and, in the presence of Mr. Hopkins and Major Nathan, examined the original Chinese title-deed of the land in dispute, situated on the Bluff, the large plan of the whole of the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company's property at Chingwantao, the original Chinese deed of transfer of the 26th August, 1901, confirming the deed of the 19th February, 1901, the entry of the whole of the above property in the land register of the Consulate and the English deed of transfer of the 19th February, 1901. The Commission took copious notes, but in spite of repeated requests, I have been unable to obtain from M. Bapst any information as to the result of their enquiries. On the 3rd July I received from the French Legation the inclosed draft Agreement which had been drawn up by Captain Marchand, and which I duly communicated to Major Nathan for his observations. The latter declined to accept it on the grounds:\n\n1. That it gave more land to the French below the Bluff than they actually occupied; and\n2. It allowed the French Government free right to dispose of the land to traders and merchants.\n\nI did not fail to inform my French colleague of Major Nathan's views in a note, of which I inclose a copy, and on the 10th instant he called upon me to discuss the question. In regard to the first point, he maintained that the statement of land contained in the draft Agreement was the same as that communicated to his predecessor by Major Nathan himself two years ago.\n\nAs regards the second, the French Government, in view of Article XIV of their Tien-tsin Treaty of 1858, were unable to admit that a whole port could be monopolized by a privileged commercial Society. Sir Robert Hart had, he said, arranged directly with the Chinese Government for customs accommodation at Ching-wantao, and he saw no reason why the French Government should not do the same. I replied that as French Representative he could of course take any steps he pleased with the Chinese Government. He had already, while we were endeavouring to come to a friendly understanding, written direct to the Viceroy. I thought it right, however, to say that any attempt on the part of the Chinese Government to deprive the Company of the property which it held under title-deeds registered in His Majesty's Consulate General would be strenuously resisted by His Majesty's Government. My instructions were to do my utmost to arrange the matter amicably with my French colleague, and this I was most anxious to do.\n\nI may here say, with reference to M. Bapst's statement in regard to Sir Robert Hart, that I had asked Major Nathan some days previously in connection with an inquiry from M. Bapst, whether the Japanese and the Imperial Maritime Customs had not received facilities from the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company, the former for the accommodation of their troops, and the latter for that of their Customs and Postal Administration. Major Nathan replied that the Japanese received similar facilities for the accommodation of their troops as were agreed upon between M. Dubail and himself in the Agreement cancelled by the French Government. The Imperial Maritime Customs were given land for their buildings in accordance with an understanding of many years' duration with the old Company. Subsequent to our interview of the 10th July, M. Bapst addressed to me the inclosed note containing the substance of our remarks. You will see that in the third paragraph he made an important error in regard to what I had said to him, and I hastened to point this out in a note dated the 11th July, a copy of which is also inclosed.\n\nThe remaining points I referred to Major Nathan, and on receipt of his reply (copy annexed) I addressed a further note to M. Bapst, in which I endeavoured to convince him that no monopoly within the meaning of the Treaty of 1858 was exercised at Chingwantao, and again pressed him for information as to the results of the examination of the title-deeds.\n\n## 3\n\nI inclose a copy of my note and also of M. Bapst's reply of the 18th July, from which you will see that he considers that the seat of negotiations has been transferred from Peking to Paris, and that he regards himself merely as \"Agent de renseignement,\" whose utterances can only have such value as may be conferred upon them by his personal authority. For the rest he practically ignores the arguments contained in my note, and contents himself with referring to a note which was addressed to Sir F. Bertie by M. Pichon on the 4th June last, a reply to which is now being awaited at Paris, the result of the examination of the title-deeds at Tien-tsin, he still gives me no information, but he again holds out the threat of coming to an arrangement with the Chinese Government.\n\nAs to ...\n\nI may add that M. Bapst has more than once in his conversations with me insisted that he was only an Agent of his Government with no authority to settle this question which was being negotiated in Paris. In the circumstances, and in view of the nature of the correspondence which has already passed, I have, with regret, arrived at the conclusion that it would serve no purpose to continue the discussion here. I have done my utmost to arrive at an amicable arrangement, but the attitude adopted by my French colleague has rendered my efforts abortive.\n\nMy own private opinion is that the French Government are aware of the weakness of their case from the point of view of justice and equity, but that, relying upon the advantage which their actual occupation of the land gives to them and upon the hostile attitude adopted by the Chinese towards the Company, they desire to utilize these to the full with a view to obtaining such Concessions as they can. This view is strengthened by the nature of the arguments which they use to support their case.\n\nI have already endeavoured to show that no monopoly within the meaning of the French Treaty of 1858 is exercised by the Company at Chingwantao. I now notice in a \"Note sur le port de Ts'in Quang Tao et sur la propriété des terrains de la baie,\" which M. Bapst has communicated to me, and which he informed me has been sent to Sir F. Bertie, the extraordinary argument is used that merely the date, the 30th July, 1900, of the contract between the old and the new Companies invalidates it, in view of a decision of the Corps Diplomatique at their sitting of the 5th November, 1900, that \"aucun achat de terrains aux Chinois depuis le commencement du siège ne saurait être valable sans l'assentiment des Ministres étrangers.\" The annexed extract from the procès-verbal of that sitting shows conclusively that the decision referred solely to purchases of land in the neighbourhood of the Legation quarter at Peking—the important words \"dans le quartier dont il s'agit\" and the whole context have been omitted from the above quotation, which cannot possibly have been intended to apply to purchases of land outside Peking.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nDear Sir John,\n\nInclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nM. Bapst to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nPeking, June 9, 1907.\n\nI HAVE not this week heard anything about the examination of the deeds which Major Nathan states to own.

Bapst\n#### Peking, June 10, 1907\n\nI beg to thank you for your letter of yesterday's date, stating that you have heard nothing about the examination of the title-deeds of the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company's property at Chingwantao, and inclosing a communication from the Viceroy at Tien-tsin which is apparently a reply to some inquiry you addressed to him on the subject.\n\nWhen I spoke to you about this case you expressed some doubt as to the validity of the title-deeds, and I reminded you that they had been examined in 1904 by a Commission composed of the Acting French Consul at Tien-tsin, the Chief of the French Admiral's staff, and Captain Tetart as representing the French army, who had recognized them as valid, subject to certain litigation which was then pending and which has since resulted in the Company's favour.\n\nYou doubted, however, whether any of the above officers possessed sufficient expert knowledge to pronounce an opinion on the subject, and expressed a desire to have the deeds in the Consulate again examined by competent persons whom you would appoint for the purpose.\n\nI agreed to this, and telegraphed on the 17th May to His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Tien-tsin to place all facilities in the way of the Delegates you might send to the Consulate to examine the deeds.\n\nAs some time has now elapsed and I am anxious to proceed with the further consideration of the case, I should be greatly obliged if you could kindly arrange to have the title-deeds examined at an early date.\n\nBelieve me, &c.  \n(Signed) J.

        "content_text": "63. The Russians took advantage of Hei-lung Chiang being the first place pacified after the Boxer trouble to encroach on Manchuria. The Tartar General Tseng-chi sent Chou-mien, whom the Russians forced to conclude a new Treaty, practically giving Russia full powers in Kuan-tung. The Plenipotentiary Li had also agreed, but Chang and Liu jointly made a vigorous protest, urging the Court not to ratify. After a score of telegrams and Memorials the Russians set the 25th April (1901) as the latest date for signing, after which they would break off relations. They used every possible threat, but he persisted in vigorous protest, and succeeded in preventing ratification, thus saving the three eastern provinces.\n\n64. In 1909, when peace was about to be made after the western tour, and the Court was discussing their Majesties' return, foreigners started saying that, though all the guilty had been punished, there was still an important matter undealt with. If positions remained unaltered after the return to Peking, the Powers would certainly not stop asking till their demand was granted. Thereon he telegraphed secretly to the Government urging oral representation that advantage should be taken of the Court not having returned to vindicate the State by issuing the order as by their Majesties' own will. This proposal was thereafter settled while the Court was still at K'aifong.\n\n74. The 1901 Allied Forces' Peace Protocol, on the Powers' plea that the deepening of the Huangpu would benefit merchant-ships, and with the assent of the Plenipotentiaries, forced China to send officers to set about it in concert with them. Viceroy Liu put off doing so, and in the spring of 1903 Chang took charge. In the face of repeated Imperial urgings, he protested and vigorously argued and never sent anyone. He also engaged other Powers' Consuls to help and then took the lead in proposing that China should finance and execute the dredging without financial aid or interference by other nations—a policy that won.\n\n75. In the summer of 1902 he shared in negotiating the British Commercial Treaty. Of many rectifications and recoveries, the most important was getting them, whose strong demand was for the abolition of li-kin and native customs dues, to agree to the levy of consumption duty. Another still more important clause agreed to surrender extra-territoriality, a subject none had touched on during fifty years of trade.\n\n76. He points out how he had the Wai-wu Pu's idea of not discussing mining overruled as the only safeguard against illicit partnership in mining between Chinese and foreigners. A law was necessary to afford control and prevent the loss of rights, reform old and limit new mining enterprises. The Throne approved and bade him, with Liu, arrange regulations. Lin's death threw the task on his shoulders alone. From the laws and prohibitions of all nations, he selected what was good, his general idea being to safeguard rights, benefit the people's livelihood, and make taxation light. He compiled them in a volume of seventy-four regulations and seventy-two supplementary rules.\n\n80. In view of the awkward and dangerous position of the Shanghae Arsenal, he advocated its removal to Ping-hsiang, a remote site close to coal. Funds were provided; the annual reserve of the old arsenal of 700,000 and the copper mint's yearly profit of 500,000 would have enabled it to be done in five years, but the Board of Revenue's annexation of the funds stopped the scheme for the time. Still, in a crisis, it will be remembered.\n\n82. When he was in Peking in 1903, giving an account of his stewardship, the Russo-Japanese war was imminent, and the Government bade him go and dissuade Japan from the war. He refused and reported the remark of a western envoy that the war would be a good thing for China. The idea was dropped on his view being laid before the Throne. Again, in the spring of 1904, the Southern Trade Superintendent Wei tried to get the high provincial authorities to combine in moving the Northern Trade Superintendent to memorialize that Japan be dissuaded from war. On his way through Tien-tsin, he was asked about the idea and vigorously opposed it. The same winter, when, despite defeats, Russia would not evacuate Manchuria, the new Southern Trade Superintendent suggested mediating along with the Northern Trade Superintendent and Hupei, but his strong disapproval prevented action.\n\n83. It records how Arnhold Karberg and Co.'s proposal to farm the sale of opium throughout China, negotiated through Ching-wei Hsing, had taken form after Peking intriguing, but he refused to help, in spite of the offer of heavy bribes. Twice he telegraphed strong protests, and at last, the Grand Secretary Jung-lu understood the danger and rejected the scheme.\n\n84. It mentions Melchers and Co.'s attempt to follow the Japanese example of using the native city frontage at Nankow and the threat to place a hulk under man-of-war protection. The people were afraid lest their ferry-boats be endangered forever. After he went to Peking in the winter of 1903, he sent an officer to negotiate with the German Envoy Mumm and got the project dropped on the condition that the Osaka Shoshen Kaisha should also move to the Japanese Concession within a certain time. The Envoy had notified the Wai-wu Pu that on the 1st January next, he would have a serious matter to tell them, and they were panic-struck until the receipt of this correspondence filled them with joy.\n\nPage 5\n\n85. The Inspector-General Hart started a scheme to increase the land taxation and abolish all trade levies. The Government did not approve but could not stop it, so called for provincial views. He was the only one who strongly refuted it, and got it dropped.\n\n86. The American Jenks' design to control the great matter of China's silver currency could not be refuted by the Court Ministers, and the idea was assented to before Jenks came to Hupei, where, at an interview, Chang silenced him with awkward questions, and then memorialized strongly on his blunders and showed up the danger. The matter was happily successfully blocked.\n\n87. Among the many foreign cases dealt with, whenever there was a question of capital punishment, he tried to save the people's lives, and constantly, in identical mission cases where other provinces executed several, Hupei men went scatheless, and capital penalties agreed to by his predecessors were lightened. From appreciation of his justice, foreigners even do not object.\n\n88. When the Hankow-Canton Railway was sold by the Americans to the Belgian-China Development Company, he was the first to show up the scandal of the Empire. In steadfast isolation, he fought the battle of resumption for ourselves, despite the combined resistance of the two Powers, until the American State Secretary, from respect for his austerity, ended by giving the line back to us.\n\n120. He once told his retainers: \"During my twenty-five years as a Provincial Governor, the only comparatively easy time was the two years in Shansi. For the rest, not a day but I am among thorns and brambles. Speaking generally, what I have done has never been what the Government wanted me to do; what I spent was never money the province surely had; whom I employed never served me with joy and real heartiness.\"",

        "content_text": "\"Sainam\" claim would of course form the first condition of a settlement, and I asked for his views and those of Sir A. Moore.\n\nOn the following day you telegraphed to me that Reuter's correspondent reported meetings of Chinese in protest against the British patrol, and urging the boycott of British vessels. That the presence of British gun-boats in force on the Canton waters has caused some public feeling is shown by articles in the native press of which two, cited by His Majesty's Consul at Wuhu, in the despatch copy of which I have the honour to inclose, may serve as a specimen. Their inflammatory character will show, without commentary, the dangerous tendency which is being provoked by the newspapers at the present time.\n\nFrom the reply of His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton, which was telegraphed to you direct on the 23rd December, it appears, however, that there is no danger at present of a boycott being instituted.\n\nAs regards the question of vessels under Customs control, both the Admiral and His Majesty's Consul-General have signified their concurrence with my view that nothing is to be gained under present conditions by continuing to press this demand, provided the \"Sainam\" claim is paid and a satisfactory Chinese scheme is evolved. Mr. Mansfield, with the concurrence of Admiral Moore, suggests further that the threat to withdraw the Arms Ordinance in Hong Kong should now be made, if delay is experienced in effecting a settlement. I am, however, privately told by the Wai-wu Pu that the \"Sainam\" claim will be paid, and doubt if we should be justified yet in threatening a measure which would probably tend to increase the revolutionary strength of the provincials, rather than to assist the Central Government in bringing pressure to bear on the Viceroy.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\nJ. N. JORDAN.\n\n(No. 59.) Sir,\n\nInclosure 1 in No. 1.\nConsul-General Mansfield to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nCanton, November 19, 1907.\nREFERRING to my telegrams Nos. 55 and 58 of the 28th ultimo and 14th instant, reporting the piracies of the steam-launches \"Wing Fat,\" and \"Hong Fu,\" I have the honour to inclose herewith, copies and translations of my despatches to the Viceroy of the 6th and 15th instant, and of his Excellency's replies of the 15th and 16th November.\n\nThe date of the \"Wing Fat\" piracy was the 23rd October, and not as originally reported by telegraph.\n\nHeavy rains have seriously damaged the autumn rice crop, which bade fair to be a good one, and it is to be feared that in the absence of energetic measures of suppression, there will be an increase of these outrages.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\nR. W. MANSFIELD.\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\nConsul-General Mansfield to Viceroy of Canton.\n\nCanton, November 15, 1907.\nI HAVE again to report to you the piracy of another British launch, the \"Hong Fu,\" which was pirated on the 10th instant in the Waichow district at Ying-t'ou, close to the scene of the attack on the steam-launch \"Hong Tat\" on the 15th ultimo. Two passengers were killed and the losses in money, clothing, &c., were some 200 dollars.\n\nIt does not seem possible to me that your Excellency can entertain any doubt as to the necessity for the adoption of effective measures aiming at the suppression of these repeated outrages. No good results will, I am convinced, be obtained until an efficient patrol by water is established and the civil and military officials on land are compelled under pain of severe penalties to root out these desperadoes from their haunts on shore. In so far as the water patrol is concerned, His Majesty's Government have, through their Representatives, repeatedly urged upon the Imperial Chinese Government and previous Viceroys the advisability and necessity for placing properly manned cruisers of sufficient speed and armament under the control of the Imperial Maritime Customs to patrol the waterways and lend effective assistance in suppressing the bad characters which now infest them. The advice is good and is given in the best interests of the Provincial Government. I trust then that your Excellency will accept it in the spirit in which it is given and follow it.\n\nIt is my duty to ask you to secure the arrest of the pirates and the recovery of the property stolen in this case; failing the latter, I must hold the Provincial Government responsible for adequate compensation.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\n(Signed)\nR. W. MANSFIELD.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\nConsul-General Mansfield to Viceroy of Canton.\n\nCanton, November 6, 1907.\nI REGRET to have again to report to you a further piracy, that of the British launch \"Wing Fat,\" which occurred in the Kongmoon district at about 1:30 in the morning of the 23rd October. The launch was returning from Yung-kee with eight silk boats in tow, and was pirated between Huang-niu-lan and Ma-ning. The pirates approached and attacked in two Chinese launches, the \"Wai Lee\" and \"Cheung Lee,\" of which they had previously taken possession, and I understand that a French launch, the \"Lee Hung,\" was also pirated by them. The robbers are said to have landed at Kou-kao-hou, near Sui-lam, and the booty secured from the \"Wing Fat\" and her tows amounted to over 10,000 taels, chiefly the proceeds of silk cocoons sold.\n\n(Translation.)\nViceroy of Canton to Consul-General Mansfield.\n\nCanton, November 13, 1907.\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 6th instant reporting the piracy of the British launch \"Wing Fat.\" The matter was reported to me first by the Commissioner of Customs, and instructions were at once issued for the speedy arrest of the pirates. The Commander of the torpedo-boat \"Lei Teng,\" patrolling that section of the river, was also deprived of his command, but his services retained until the pirates are captured. The Colonel and Magistrate of the Shun-tak district have now reported the capture of two of the pirates, viz., Ch'en Shih-jung and Mai Tien-kai, and stated that they are being strictly interrogated to discover the hiding-place of the ringleaders and their confederates, and that when this is ascertained measures will be taken to secure their capture. On the receipt of this intelligence I again issued strict orders to the officials concerned to secure the arrest of the whole gang, punish them, and recover the property stolen for restoration to the owners.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\nPage 32",

        "content_text": "6 \n\nwith popular wish; but this is going too far. What puzzle me are the two subjects at the head of this article.\n\n\"As regards the first, the Agreement is cancelled, funds subscribed, work begun, and there is no call for additional foreign money.\n\nYet a loan is forced on the officials and gentry, whose distress is pitiful. As to the rice the Japanese refused in Hunan, turn to the Nanking Viceroyalty. The Viceroy's and Governor's telegrams prove the wrong policy of rescuing a man from a well (referring to a Tso Chuan story of a warrior who hauled his foe out of a well only to be captured by him.-E. H. F.), yet the Government, unheeding, insists on compelling them to satisfy outsiders' boundless wants. Mencius' warning to take notice of general objection is disregarded by this violent adoption of a policy of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Does the Government wish to alienate the people, whose attachment it is hard enough to secure in these times of crisis? Does it want to please outsiders, who need no encouragement in their schemes against us? These things puzzle me.\n\n\"Foreign loans are admissible enough when home funds are short and the people unenlightened; when projected reforms, general or particular, are blocked by want of money, then it may be worth risking the fate of Egypt and India by undertaking monetary burdens in hope of future good to State and people. And such action in face of popular objection may be pardoned if there is no other motive.\n\nBut do any of these considerations apply to the forced railway loan?\n\n\"Relief of distress, charity to neighbours, is indeed a way to cement friendly relations, but we must really have surplus before we help outsiders. Now, the Kiang-huai has year after year been starving, and this year the unfed people died of hunger in the ditches in untold numbers. Does the Government forget, or does it purposely shut its eyes? Moreover, its action is styled charity, but is it charity to let one's own stomach go empty in order to supply the rich? Does the duty of mutual exchange justify forcing what is non-existent into being?\n\nIt is called keeping its word. But does the duty... Ab me! To-day society men pervade capital and provinces, evil folk stupidly plot rebellion, daily spying of blunders by Government to give excuse for stirring general disorder, men of purpose constantly lament that the danger of disunion and debacle is not far off. If the Government schemed for a happy future of peaceful constitutional Government it would base its external and internal policy on popular feeling as ascertained by inquiry. But if its policy is repression, does it want to see how much the people will stand, or does it look on them as mere pawns to be given as presents? If so, Yang's words unhappily apply to it.\"\n\nThe \"Nan Fang Pao\" of the 9th November, under \"Railways and Mining,\" has the following:-\n\n\"Censor Hsu Ting-ch'ao has presented a sealed Memorial regarding the forced loan. He points out that though the Soo-Hang-Ning Preliminary Agreement was made by the British Envoy, Sheng notified by letter its abrogation for delay in starting work, and Governor Chang announced its non-recognition. The other side also recognized that they could not build in time, and acknowledged its abrogation. It is by no means good policy now to lose faith with the people in order to acquiesce in a neighbour State's request, and it is impossible to turn forcibly a commercial into a Government railway. Of late the people have been enthusiastic and shares subscribed reached 30,000,600, but the sudden news that the English money is going to be borrowed to build it has greatly incensed people's feelings, and trouble may be apprehended. But if the Wai-wu Pu are in an utter quandary and cannot retrieve the position, we must treat this loan as a State loan independent of railways, though the two provinces will still have to repay its principal and interest out of railway funds. Thus railway rights will not pass into foreign control. This question is a very serious matter for China, since any compromise over it will probably have a great bearing on the cancelled Hankow-Canton Railway question and on the diplomatic difficulties as to Yunnan and Tonquin,\n\n\"The Wai-wu P'u is, by rescript, bidden to take note of the above.\"\n\nThe \"Universal Gazette\" of the 8th November reports that certain shareholders in the Hunan Railway Company have presented a joint application to the Viceroy to withdraw their subscriptions, on the score of there being no definite date for starting and of the managers having thrown up their responsibilities. The Viceroy, Chao, bade them wait quietly and not set an example which might shake the whole business.\n\nThe same paper says that the Hankow Electric Light and Waterworks Company has applied to be paid the 300,000 dollars promised by his Excellency Chang as Government share in the enterprise, now that all the private capital has been paid in and all arrangements made.\n\nGrand Councillor\n\nThe \"Nan Pao\" of the 10th November: \"Important news. Yuan's maintenance of mistaken views as to borrowing funds.\n\n\"His Excellency Yuan vigorously fathers the loan for the Soochow-Hangchow-Ningpo Railway and is quite unmoved by the telegraphic protests from all over China. A very trusted secretary took an opportunity to ask privately his reasons, whereupon his Excellency recounted his views to the following effect: The development of mines and railways is China's most urgent task and admits of no delay. Unluckily it requires a dozen millions, which the utterly impoverished provincials cannot supply. The inevitable delay in Chinese development will not only make outsiders' interference inevitable, but is also bad for China. Moreover, lots of European States attained to wealth and strength only by borrowing for important works as their own funds were insufficient for. Everything depends upon clear limitation of the Concession granted when making agreements, but if sovereign rights are not let slip it does not follow that the mere raising of foreign loans is to be considered a boundless calamity. So I feel bound to support borrowing to develop mines and railways in every province, the Soo-Hang-Ning Railway being only one instance. Now the final scheme in controlling the State must be to have a single object. However much provincial officials and gentry oppose, I'd rather use absolute force than let popular opinion sway me for hope that the overcoming of this obstacle, by preventing any one daring to stand forth in opposition to future loans for similar ends in other provinces, will enable me to answer to myself without shame. Five per cent. discount, which went into the agent's pocket, has been the rule in arranging loans; but my firm determination is not to take a cent, turning the discount into the principal. My sole aim is by saving the people a fraction of State debt to accomplish a fraction more of my duty. As to public right and public wrong, they take a long time to prove; could the animadversions of the present overthrow my fixed policy? From this his entourage perceived that his mind was made up and did not venture to offer any more advice on this subject.\"\n\n0 \n\nو دوران ایران اسلام \n\n56",

It is a fact that Europeans were never in any way interfered with by the rebels. The Imperial forces have also suffered in reputation from the disgusting scene which was witnessed after the taking of Hokou. All the rebels had evacuated the place, and practically all the rest of the population as well. Some half-dozen miserable coolies were, however, captured, and accused of giving information to the revolutionaries, which may have been true or may not. They were bound and taken to the public execution ground on a sand-bank in front of Hokou, and in full view of Laokay, where they were put to death in the most atrocious and fiendish manner, their bodies being afterwards subjected to nameless mutilations. Portions of their internal organs are said to have been taken away to eat, but this, though possible, cannot be held to be proved. Of the fact of the torture and mutilation there cannot be any doubt, as it was witnessed by many French people in Lackay. In the light of this behaviour of the troops, presumably with the concurrence of the authorities, the humanitarian and civilized sentiments recently uttered by the French-speaking Judicial Commissioner of Yunnan and Taotai of Mongtze in the interviews accorded by them to local journals, are looked upon here as so much hypocrisy. These two officials have left Hanoi and proceeded up to Yünnan.\n\nAn incident, which has not been reported in the press, has recently occurred also on the frontier of Kwangsi, near Langson, where a party of Chinese regular troops crossed over into French territory and sacked a small village. I imagine, however, that the soldiers were not acting in uniform and officially, but in their private capacity of brigands.\n\nThere are now over 800 revolutionaries in custody who have surrendered to the French authorities and been disarmed in connection with the recent events, and it is somewhat difficult to know what to do with them. At present they are to be interned on an island in the Baie d'Along (north of the Red River delta), known as the Ile des Daims, where they will be kept at the expense of the Chinese Government.

In view of the presence in London of the Japanese Delegates to the Lisbon Conference, an early reply has been requested—if possible within one week from the date of this letter.\n\nIf no objection is taken by the Foreign Office or by any of the other Departments, Mr. Buxton would propose to inform the Japanese Delegates to the Lisbon Conference (who are now in this country), in accordance with paragraph 1 of the recommendations of the Committee, and also to communicate with the Eastern and Eastern Extension Companies in accordance with both paragraphs; and he assumes that in that case Sir Edward Grey will also make a communication to the Japanese Government in the sense of paragraph 1.\n\nIn this connection, I am to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 1st instant, inclosing a copy of a communication from Mr. Hesse, of the Eastern Extension Company, relative to the proposed Agreement between China and Japan in respect of the South Manchurian telegraphs.\n\nMr. Buxton understands that the facts in regard to the present position of the negotiations are as stated by Mr. Hesse; and he has learnt indirectly through the Japanese Delegates at the Lisbon Conference that there is no prospect of these terms being accepted by the Japanese Government, who are unlikely to agree to any modifications of their last proposal.\n\nFor the reasons mentioned in previous correspondence, Mr. Buxton thinks it highly desirable that everything possible should be done to remove this deadlock, and that, if Sir Edward Grey sees no objection, a further representation should be made to the Chinese Government with a view to their acceptance of the compromise proposed by Japan. Japan, at the suggestion of His Majesty's Government, has made large concessions; and the consequences to China which would arise from the non-acceptance of the Japanese proposal, through the termination of the Russo-Chinese Agreement concerning the North Manchurian telegraphs, and, in other ways, would probably be much more damaging than any which are likely to follow from its acceptance. In particular, Japan might claim a free hand with regard to the laying and working of the proposed Dalny-Chefoo cable. It is right to say, however, that Mr. Buxton has no reason to suppose that this course of action has occurred to the Japanese Government; and he thinks it would be undesirable for His Majesty's Government to do anything which might have the effect of suggesting it to them.\n\nI am, &c.\n(Signed)\nH. BABINGTON SMITH,\n\n[1865 p-1]",

I think the laymen looks on law as a thing which, if you turn a tap, simply runs out at will. This was one of the points which showed that the lay mind had been more than unpractical in the matter of the proposed Appeal Court. I am quite sure that when the Court is\n\nBiting Bothe Music\n\nChasse not sitting the layman thinks the Judges are at the Club, or\n\nX\n\nplaying golf. Well, that is a point of which the laymánd must\n\nbe disabused if the matter is to be fairly considered: but I am confident that if this point is appreciated, much way will be made: you see of course that this is a matter on which figures can throw no light.\n\n7.\n\ndun\n\nI now come to the Puisne Judge's work. Here again it is necessary to disabuse the lay mind of the idea that if the Puisne Judge happens to be free for an afternoon\n\nhe can be turned on to do Original Jurisdiction work: I am confident from remarks I have heard that this is quite a prevalent idea among the laity. You are sufficiently familiar with judicial work to know that this is not the case. But so far as his own Court is concerned, there is a deadlock there also; and Mr. Hazeland tells me that his first free day for a defended case is 22nd November. Of course allowance has been made for the sitting of the Full Court in appeal in the long case, but even omitting this the date would be at end of November. This is altogether wrong; it is entirely inconsistent with the idea of a Summary Court, and it works great hardship on litigants. I am most strongly of opinion that beyond the assistance at Assizes and in Chambers which the Puisne Judge now gives it would be most unwise to saddle the Puisne Judge with any of the Chief Justice's work permanently.\n\n8.\n\nOn the question of finance, I can only say that I have said before; first that the appointment of a Third Judge would increase the revenue of the Department, and secondly, that if the stamp duties were thoroughly collected,\n\nas they are now beginning to be, a revenue would be obtained\n\nsufficient",

        "content_text": "Extract from the \"Hongkong Daily Press\" of 18th March, 1912.\n\nPage 46\n\nSIR FREDERICK LUGARD'S FAREWELL.\n\nTOUCHING SCENES.\n\nOn Saturday, Sir Frederick and Lady Lugard bade farewell to Hongkong, and the regret felt by the community as well as by Their Excellencies in having to say \"good-bye\" was deep and poignant, culminating in scenes which were most touching and most impressive. The regard and affection in which the occupants of Government House have been held by the entire Colony is perhaps unprecedented in the history of Hongkong, and while their departure was viewed with sadness it was also tinged with sympathy—sympathy for Lady Lugard in the long and trying illness which has afflicted her here, and sympathy for her husband, whose domestic grief was not allowed to interfere with the discharge of the many duties which His Excellency saw in his high office. Thus it was that the departure of Their Excellencies on Saturday had a solemn aspect; it was more impressive than many where a \"good send-off\" was given. The occasion was too sad even for the cheers which were called for in the City Hall. Most throats felt too husky to allow of that volume and ring which should characterise such compliments. Everybody was sorry, and none more so than Sir Frederick and Lady Lugard.\n\nPRESENTATION OF THE ADDRESS.\n\nThe regret of the Colony at the departure of H.E. the Governor and Lady Lugard and its appreciation of their beneficent stay here was expressed in the Address presented to Their Excellencies on Saturday morning.\n\nThe ceremony took place in the City Hall, where were attended most of the leading residents of all races. The route from Government House to the Hall was lined by troops drawn from the K.O.Y.L.I. and the R.G.A., and on the arrival of the gubernatorial party at the Hall they were met by Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., Sir Kai Ho Kai, C.M.G., Hon. Mr. Rees Davies, K.C., the Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett, C.M.G., the Hon. Mr. H. E. Pollock, K.C., the Hon. Mr. E. Osborne, the Hon. Mr. Wei Yuk, C.M.G., and Messrs. C. Montague Ede, N. J. Stabb, W. Dixon, T. F. Hough, G. H. Medhurst, J. W. C. Bonnar, Murray Stewart, E. Shellim, and others including many ladies.\n\nLady Lugard, whose presence at the City Hall was hardly expected in view of her illness, was carried upstairs in a chair, and when she was assisted out of it to take her seat in the chair alongside her husband on the red carpetted dias the audience was deeply affected by the touching scene. Her Ladyship, however, smiled on the gathering, and so far as appearances went gave little indication of her suffering. There was a good colour in her cheeks, but this was probably the flush of excitement. She was fashionably attired in a cream satin costume with black revers and wore a black picture hat with large upstanding ostrich feather. She carried a bouquet of red roses. When the gathering was seated,\n\nSir PAUL CHATER, addressing His Excellency, said:-We have asked you to come here to-day, Sir, to present to you on your departure from the Colony which you have served so eminently an address of farewell from the community. That the duty of reading that address has fallen upon me is an honour of which I am vastly proud. With your permission, Sir, I shall now read the address.\n\nTo His Excellency SIR FREDERICK JOHN DEALTRY LUGARD, Knight Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George, Companion of the Bath, Companion of the Distinguished Service Order.\n\nYour Excellency:\n\nHis Most Gracious Majesty the King having summoned you to serve as His Representative in another part of the Empire, we, residents in the Crown Colony of Hongkong, desire, on this the occasion of your departure, to testify to our appreciation of the advantages which we have derived from your tenure of the high office of Governor and Commander-in-Chief.\n\nThat high office you assumed nearly five years ago, and, ever since, we have been learning to realise more and more your merits as an administrator. The fame of these was world-wide before you came among us, but it rested upon success achieved in dealing with administrative problems different from those arising here. The problems which arise here demand from the Head of the Administration not only firmness; not only a high sense of duty; but also broad sympathy with, and wise consideration for, the thoughts, the feelings, the customs and the faiths of our heterogeneous population.\n\nIn dealing with our administrative problems you have displayed that sympathetic insight which is the secret of their effective solution. Especially was sympathetic insight needed to solve the problems presented to you on arrival, arising out of the state of the law relating to the preservation of the public health. The need for revision had been already acknowledged, and the work begun, but upon you fell the task of completing it, and of inspiring confidence that all unnecessary rigour in carrying out necessary reform would be systematically avoided. The assurances given by your Excellency in the Legislative Council, together with the example of your earnest endeavours to secure efficiency without inflicting hardship, earned the gratitude of the community in general, and of the Chinese section of the community in particular. (Applause.)\n\nPage 225",

This is a fairly well recognised, though little used, road, but I possess records of only isolated portions as having been previously traversed by British subjects.\n\nThe first two days' journey from Mienning via Poshang to Toukuo call for no special comment beyond the unusually good condition of the road-surface. Nature has so fashioned the province of Yunnan as to render it practically impossible for the road-builder to make the crooked straight; for some weeks prior to our passing through, however, human labour had done a great deal to make the rough places plain. In spite of pouring rain on the second day, we encountered no really serious obstacles.\n\nOn the 19th April, at the Taoyin's suggestion, we made a very early start in view of the formidable journey in front of us. After 6 miles of easy going, we reached the limits of the Mienning jurisdiction and bade farewell to the magistrate. No trace of opium poppy had we seen in his district, in which, as far as I could ascertain, he and his subordinates had carried out their suppression duties with exceptional thoroughness. The next 7 miles traversed a corner of what is now known as the Lants'ang (i.e., Mekong) district—formerly the sub-prefecture of Chênpien—and the going was very severe, though it must, in all fairness, be admitted that the country is extremely difficult, including a terrific descent for 3 miles through constantly subsiding red clay to the level of the River Mekong (2,750 feet). The crossing of the Mekong is effected in a single huge wooden boat with deep sides; mules and their loads are transported in this craft, the river-current being too swift to admit of the animals swimming across without danger. The ascent up the left or east bank of the Mekong is even more severe, and for 2 miles the ruling gradient is steeper than one in six. The consulate writer and I reached the halting-place about 2:20 P.M., followed about an hour later by the Taoyin and his party, who took up their quarters in a native hovel close to our selected camping site. Realising our discomfiture at the non-arrival of our mule-loads, Mr. Lu with friendly thoughtfulness sent us over a supply of tea and Australian biscuits, to which I at least did unhesitating justice. It was not till after sunset that the rest of my caravan turned up. At one of the steepest points of the descent to the Mekong the mule entrusted with my small but precious supply of glass and crockery had missed his footing and rolled headlong, load and all, for several hundred feet, and rescue had taken much time; further, heavy delay had been caused by the passage of the Mekong with but one unwieldy boat, to which the liveliest objection was displayed by most of the mules.\n\nTwo stages further, through pine-woods tenanted by peacocks and brilliant emerald-green parrots, brought us to the Chinese Shan town of Mêngka. At Tamotacho, the half-way halt, we came across a few families of Lahu race, said to be rapidly dying out in China. Given a plentiful supply of soap, water, and combs, the smaller children could, I am convinced, be made into strikingly pretty little gipsies.\n\nShortly before reaching Mêngka we were met by the Chingku district magistrate, La Kuang-shih, a Kuangsi man, who accompanied us so long as we continued in his extensive jurisdiction. Mêngka, the residence of a Shan Sawbwa, possesses also large temples and two monasteries in the Burmese Shan style; one in particular, over 200 years old, must have been very fine in bygone days.\n\nAt Liutsungt'eu'n, our halt mid-way between Mêngka and Mengchu, the Chinese Shan Sawbwa of the latter place, and Meng'an came over to pay his respects; both the excellence of his Chinese and his appearance gave the lie, I fancied, to his boasted pure Shan parentage. Mêng'an is one of the old Shan towns whence the original inhabitants have been practically ousted by the more thriving Chinese. Here, I was given fairly decent quarters in the temple of the god of war, now converted into a school, the discipline of which struck me as unusually good; the very natural curiosity at the arrival in their midst of the first white man ever beheld by any of the ninety scholars was never allowed to exceed the bounds of politeness.\n\nOn the 25th April, two days after leaving Mêngchu, we crossed the River Weiyuan (or Chingku, as it is now gradually becoming known) at Patieh. At this season of the year the stream is just fordable here: I managed, however, to find a place not much higher up where a swim proved welcomely refreshing. The next halt bore the ill-omened name of Ch'ou-Shui (\"Stinking Water\"), but I have stayed at many places in Yunnan where the water supply has been even worse. Two days later, after passing a few villages inhabited by natives of the strikingly handsome Puman race, we entered the Szemao district and were met by the local magistrate, Hsieh Shih; the following day, the 28th April, we arrived at Szemao, where spacious quarters were provided for me adjoining the Taoyin's Yamên. The Taoyin and magistrate pressed me to stay a week in Szemao; I consented to two days, but on the second day Mr. Lu urged that he still had important business to transact, and I could hardly refuse his request that we should postpone our departure for one more day. Both he and the magistrate were most hospitable during my stay, celebrated by two Chinese dinner-parties and a picnic.\n\nPrevious to my departure for Tengyuen, I had written to the commissioner of Szemao Customs, soliciting his co-operation to obtain for me, if possible, information on the subject of opium in the area under his cognisance. With that request M. R. de Nully, the commissioner (French), very courteously complied; he informed me quite definitely that, as the result of several punitive expeditions during the past winter, there was, as far as he was aware, no more cultivation of opium in the Szemao district, and that while probably at least 30 per cent. of the adult population of the town, both male and female, still continued to consume the drug, the enormous rise in price bore out his contention.\n\nFrom Szemao northwards towards Tali three routes were open to me; that via Chingku (Weiyuan) was ruled out by the fact that it had already been traversed by Lu Taoyin on his journey to Mienning to meet me; on the north-eastern route, via Talang—the main road to Yunnan-fu according to all the information I could obtain, a considerable quantity of opium had been grown, and harvested, earlier in the season, but very thorough measures of eradication had been carried out some weeks previously; I therefore decided to take the more direct but less frequented route via P'uêrh, Hsinfu (in Chênyüan district) and Chingtung.\n\nLeaving Szemao on the 2nd May, some three hours of travel, including a stiff climb, brought us to the boundary of the Puerh district, where the local magistrate, Chou Ju-chao, awaited us; the Szemao magistrate, however, continued to accompany us till the town of Puerh was reached the next day; on this day's journey our route crossed a splendid Chinese arched stone bridge, in admirable preservation. At Puerh, an old walled city with relics of fine stone carving, I was again given most comfortable quarters; Mr. Chou also entertained the Taoyin, the Szemao magistrate, and myself at a lengthy Chinese dinner.\n\nAt Mabei, the next stage, I took the opportunity to pay a visit to the large and flourishing salt mines about a mile and a half away. Dr. Kelly, the American representative of the Chinese Salt Administration, who had arrived about two months previously, was away on tour, but his English-speaking Chinese colleague very kindly demonstrated to me all the processes of Chinese salt extraction.\n\nThe next four stages, via Mop'o, Maupieh and Manlien, to Hsin-fu, call for little comment save for the extreme beauty of the scenery; on all sides rose range after range of pine-clad hills, mostly well-wooded to their summits; the valleys were, however, parched and bare, and travelling along the lower levels was excessively hot. Our route crossed the eastern section of the Chênyüan district, and midway during the third stage we were joined by the magistrate, Mo Yu-ju, a scholarly man of considerable charm of manner, with whom my relations during our five days of joint travel were exceedingly cordial, and from whom I parted with really genuine regret.\n\nThe only record in my possession of a route between Hsinfu and Chingtung dated from 1881, when the journey was made by a British traveller; our route, however, was almost entirely different from his, and we spent but five days on the distance which had taken him six. For the last three days we were accompanied by the Chingtung magistrate, Ming Fao-ch'ien, who came out to meet us. The surroundings of Chingtung breathe of ancient history; the last 5 miles of the road could hardly have been repaired for centuries, while of the city-wall nothing now remains save one single gate; peacocks strutting unmolested in the main street seemed likewise aloof from modernity. The magistrate's yamên was woefully dilapidated, and I was well housed by comparison in the newly built Szech'uan Guild premises. From Szemao we had travelled for twelve days on end, mostly in great heat, and a halt of one day was amply justified. For me it spelled the inevitable Chinese dinner-party, as the guest of the district magistrate.\n\nThis latter official was also among the number of those who have displayed special energies in the matter of opium suppression; practically every town and hamlet which\n\n299",

        "content_text": "we traversed in his district boasted its own small bureau for the furtherance of the task, while the magistrate's extensive tours of inspection included a journey to the summit of Wu-Liang-Shan, between 11,000 and 12,000 feet high.\n\nLeaving Chingtong on the 15th May, three days' journey brought us to the boundary between the Puerh and Tengyueh circuits, at Shukai (locally pronounced Chakai). Here we found that the Tengyueh Taoyin and the Menghua district magistrate a self-satisfied little man named Chrên Pên-yu had been awaiting our arrival for three days. Before bidding farewell to the Puerh Taoyin, I gave him a letter detailing our route through his circuit and congratulating him on the fact that we had discovered not a single opium-poppy in a month's journey. In the course of an interesting conversation, Mr. Lu freely admitted that the task of suppression had been considerably easier in his circuit than elsewhere in the province; he was no less frank regarding the prevalence of opium-smoking, and expressed the opinion that from three to five years must elapse before this would be stopped.\n\nDuring the whole time that I had travelled with the P'uêrh Taoyin I had met with nothing but courtesy and kindness at his hands, and it was with real regret that I parted with him and resumed the company of the Tengyueh Taoyin. Two days' travel, the first of which gave us a magnificent and extensive view of Wu-Liang-Shan, brought us to Narchien, where our halt coincided with that of an unusually ragged and ruffianly party of Chinese regular troops, en route to suppress a local outbreak of brigandage some two days' journey to the south-west. Here I received a visit from the district magistrate of Mitu, a Fukienese named Ko Nain-ming, the limit of whose jurisdiction was only a mile or so away. Two days later, 21st May, the large walled town of Menghua was reached, and here, much against my wish, we stayed a day at the request of the Taoyin, who asserted the receipt of important despatches requiring urgent attention.\n\nThe large district of Menghua is one of those which took the fullest advantage of the iniquitous permission accorded last year by the Governor of Yunnan for the cultivation of poppy; if rumour speaks true, the early harvest of the past season was considerable, and the local magistrate is asserted to have lined his pockets well by allowing a second crop, on learning that the inspecting officers would not be able to reach his district before May. But for several weeks prior to our arrival, military, police, and civil officials, including himself, had been out in all directions to ensure that no poppy should be left. Certainly none was to be seen along our route, and the predominating crops consisted of healthy-looking wheat.\n\nFrom Menghua it is but two days' journey to Siakwan, the largest business town in West Yunnan; on the second day the route crosses a high mountain pass, which from the level of 8,800 feet affords a magnificent view of the Tali lake.\n\nAssembled at Siakwan, which was reached on Empire Day, to meet the Taoyin were a host of Chinese officials, including the magistrates of the three districts of Fengi (Ch'en Pei-yuan); Pinch'uan (Li Fan); and Tali (Yu-Yueh). Such a gathering involved, of course, the inevitable Chinese dinner-party. For many years past Siukwan has been one of the largest distributing centres for opium in all Yunnan, and the Chinese firm in whose premises quarters were found for me bears the reputation of being the wealthiest of all the opium dealers.\n\nThe 7 miles over level country between Siakwan and Tali should be accomplished by a good pony in an hour; so villainous, however, is the condition of the ancient stone-paved highway connecting the two places, that the journey takes three hours, and is accomplished with less exasperation on foot. Many weeks previously the local British representative of the British American Tobacco Company had offered me hospitality in his most comfortable headquarters at Tali, but in view of the questionable legality of such an establishment, I had hesitated to accept; when, however, the Taoyin himself announced that this was the proposed arrangement, I concurred with alacrity. Amongst the many welcome amenities thus afforded was comparative immunity from flies, which for the previous fortnight en route had been a plague of positively Egyptian magnitude. My host also most kindly made arrangements for me to meet the whole of the foreign community of Tali, including M. R. L. P. Baude (French), district inspector of the Salt Revenue for Yunnan, and his wife; M. Caffarena (French), of the same Department; and two French priests.\n\nFrom Tali it had been originally suggested that the inspection tour should continue northwards to Likiang. Previous to our departure from Tengyueh I had invoked the aid of a French merchant at Atutzu and of the representative of a British mission at Likiang to obtain for me, confidentially, reliable information on the subject of poppy crops in the north-west of the province; and letters from each of them were awaiting me at Siakwan. My French correspondent reported planting this season in the north of the Paoshan (Yungch'an) district and north-east of Yungpei, but that none remained, save, perhaps, in inaccessible spots; the Likiang missionary affirmed that already by the middle of April no trace of cultivation remained in the Likiang, Hoching, or Chiench'uan districts, and that in the Yungpei district (north of the Yangtze) it was probably grown only by Liso and other tribal folk, over whom the Chinese have practically no control. These reports were confirmed at Tali by the Rev. W. J. Hanna, of the China Inland Mission, and by the representative of the British-American Tobacco Company, both of whom travel extensively, and who assured me that it was several weeks too late for any likelihood of discovering opium crops on a visit to Likiang.\n\nIn view of this consensus of opinion and also of the clear indications of the opening, already overdue, of the rainy season, I decided to abandon the Likiang tour. As, however, I had received many weeks previously definite information that no poppy crops were to be seen anywhere along the main road (via Siakwan, Yungp'ing, and Yungchang) between Tali and Tengyueh, I elected to take the difficult and circuitous route via Tongch'uan, Yünlung, and Kait'ou; this route, incidentally, cuts across the north of the Paoshan (Yungch'ang) district.\n\nLeaving Tali on the 27th May, our first stage was the 16 miles of terrible ancient paved stone road to Shangkuan, at the north-west end of the Tali Lake. We bade farewell to the Tali magistrate and made the acquaintance of Mr. Li Kung-ch'ôn, the official in charge of the district of Tengch'uan. This town was passed the following morning after two hours of easy going, succeeded by a stiff climb to 8,900 feet, and a steep descent to the surprisingly large town of Fengyü (in the Erhyüan (Langk'un) district), lying in a huge basin of terraced rice fields. For the last portion of this day's journey and for the next two days we were accompanied by the Erhyüan magistrate, a Hupei man of an intelligently enquiring turn of mind, named Chien. From Fengyü the road climbs up to 10,700 feet, and then drops down to 6,100 feet, the level of the Yangpi River, which flows through the town of that name and Siakwan into the southern end of the Tali Lake. Two days of travel through beautiful pine-forest country and one day of wilder scenery past several large salt-wells brought us to the town of Yünlung, the district magistrate of which, Ko Yên-ch'un, was absent on sick-leave.\n\nFrom Fengyü to the district of Yünlung the population consists largely of Minchia, a tribal folk closely allied to the Chinese in appearance, as also now in dress and habits, but speaking Chinese with an atrocious foreign accent, which natives of any other province than Yünnan find considerable difficulty in understanding.\n\nThe town of Yunlung lies at the eastern foot of the lofty range flanking the left bank of the Mekong River, and the day's journey to the 60-year-old chain suspension bridge (the Fei-Lung, or Flying Dragon, bridge) over that turgid torrent consisted of a climb from 5,500 feet to 9,700 feet, succeeded by a long and stony descent to 4,600 feet, the elevation of the Mekong at this point. The fierce swiftness of its 80 yards broad current is sufficiently accounted for by the fact that it descends over 1,800 feet between here and the Tapêng ferry by which we crossed it on the outward journey.\n\nBut a still more formidable day's march lay before us, over the yet higher range on the right bank of the Mekong. The altitudes on this section varied between 5,000 feet at the start (Chinchou), 11,800 feet at the summit, and 7,000 feet at the halting-place, Ts'aochien. Almost the whole of the climb was over the roughest of stone-boulder paving, and much of it in deep trough-like gullies, while, save at the very summit, the path was overgrown by dense jungle. Climatic variations added not a little to the trials of the march; they ranged from blazing sunshine, through fine Scotch mist, to driving sleet, and then back again to moist heat. Starting at 6.30 a.m., I walked this stage in nine and a half hours; the Taoyin's official chair, from which, willy-nilly, he was frequently forced to descend, completed it in thirteen and a half. Our respective memories of the day's journey will last for some time to come.\n\nAfter two more days of very hilly travel, we came to the crossing of the Salween, here effected in a large, unwieldy-looking boat, the helmsman of which plied a huge stern sweep, some 20 feet long, to negotiate obliquely the passage of the intervening rapids. From the level of the Salween at this point (Mêngku ferry) to the summit of the range, on the right bank, is an ascent of all but 8,000 feet, and the climb over the summit, 10,500 feet, through dense jungle, followed by a steep and terribly rugged drop of close on 4,000 feet, made a day's journey scarcely less arduous than that over the Mekong range.\n\nThe trials of this day's travel were not over on arrival at our halting-place...",

A great part of it is used as a golf course by the United Services Recreation Club, by permission of the Colonial Govern-\n\nment.\n\nThe lower part of the area on which the Colonial Govern-\n\nment now wishes to build, approximately from the 50' contour to Gascoigne Road, is a gentle slope which could easily be levelled for football, &c. and several grounds and tennis courts could be made in other parts.\n\n5. This is also the only area in the southern part of Kowloon Peninsula which forms a good natural park. The land to the north is too tumbled and steep, too much enclosed, and for the most part quite barren, and covered with cement from the chimneys of the Cement Works.\n\nThis is not a military matter except in so far as the amenities of the barracks are affected. A few European houses with enclosed grounds on the upper levels of King's Park would be unobjectionable from this point of view, but I feel sure that if once the principle that this is a public park is infringed, it will not be long before the whole is built over.\n\n6. It should be remembered that the land shown on this sheet comprises the whole of the ceded territory: what is north of it, is only leased until 1997. By that time I presume all the rest of the ceded territory will be crowded with buildings,\n\nand the presence of a park in the south may be a matter of very great importance. The date for giving up the leased territory is far distant, and the prospect of having to do so is never taken into consideration locally: but I do not think it should be entirely ignored.\n\n7. I am aware that if I plead for the retention of this land as a park I shall be accused of trying to \"hamper the development of the colony\": and it is true that the erection of many more European dwellings is an urgent necessity, and that\n\neasily",

        "content_text": "## \n\nFor several days in succession I had seen nothing whatever of the Tengyueh Taoyin; at Chepi, however, much to my surprise, he rode over to call on me. The reason for the visit was only apparent when he propounded the astonishing request that as during seventeen days travel in his circuit we had only found one field of opium poppy, I would overlook it in my report to His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires. On my replying that, had we found one hundred I should be bound to report one hundred, and that I must equally report the one, he then suggested that I should add a rider that the field found was close to the scene of military operations against the offending Kachins. To this I rejoined that I had been over the country in question and he had not, and that I knew for a fact that the two places were at least two and a half days journey apart. Soon afterwards he took his leave, considerably crestfallen.\n\nApril 14th Shortly after leaving Chêpi the road to Mienning makes a very steep ascent of some 3,000 feet, on to a lofty shoulder, the view from which on a clear day must be magnificent, embracing extensive country in the jurisdiction of Shunning and Kengma, in the Tengyueh circuit, and Mieuning in the Puerh circuit. On an open bit of grass land just beyond a pillar marking the boundary, a large booth had been erected, and we were met by the P'uêrh Taoyin and the Mienning district magistrate, each of whom furnished a guard of honour.\n\nThe following day we reached the ancient walled city of Mienning, inhabited by a mixed population of Chinese and Shans, while Lolos and natives of several other tribes inhabit the surrounding villages.\n\nFor the journey from Mienning to Szemao my first care was to ascertain the route followed by the Taoyin to the rendezvous; he had come, as I expected, by the most direct road through Chingku-hsien (the modern name of Weiyuant'ing of Manchu times). I asked the Taoyin point-blank whether he had seen any opium cultivation on his outward journey; he replied that a few isolated patches had been sown at the beginning of the season, but that all had been uprooted by expeditions sent out in November and December, and there was no trace of any remaining when he came out. I see no reason whatever to doubt this statement, but even if it was untrue, it was practically certain that there would not be a single plant left after his passing through; I therefore decided to take an entirely different road for our joint journey and selected the southern route via Poshang, the Tapêng ferry over the Mekong, Mêngka and Mengchu. This is a fairly well recognised, though little used, road, but I possess records of only isolated portions as having been previously traversed by British subjects.\n\nOn the 19th April, at the Taoyin's suggestion, we made a very early start in view of the formidable journey in front of us. We reached the limits of the Mienning jurisdiction and bade farewell to the magistrate. After 6 miles of easy going, No trace of opium poppy had we seen in his district, in which, as far as I could ascertain, he and his subordinates had carried out their suppression duties with exceptional thoroughness. The next 7 miles traversed a corner of what is now known as the Lantsang (i.e., Mekong) district-formerly the sub-prefecture of Chênpien-and the going was very severe, though it must, in all fairness, be admitted that the country is extremely difficult, including a terrific descent for 3 miles through constantly subsiding red clay to the level of the River Mekong (2,750 feet). The crossing of the Mekong is effected in a single huge wooden boat with deep sides: The mules and their loads are transported in this craft, the river-current being too swift to admit of the animals swimming across without danger. The ascent up the left or east bank of the Mekong is even more severe, and for 24 miles the ruling gradient is steeper than one in six.\n\nTwo stages further, through pine-woods tenanted by peacocks and brilliant emerald-green parrots, brought us to the Chinese Shan town of Mêngka. At Tamotsoho, the half-way halt, we came across a few families of Lahu race, said to be rapidly dying out in China.\n\nShortly before reaching Mêngka we were met by the Chingku district magistrate, a Kuangsi man, who accompanied us so long as we continued in his extensive jurisdiction. Mengka, the residence of a Shan Sawbwa, possesses also large temples and two monasteries in the Burmese Shan style; one in particular, over 200 years old, must have been very fine in bygone days.\n\nAt Lientsungts'un, our halt mid-way between Mêngka and Mêngchu, the Chinese Shan Sawbwa, of the latter place, and Mêngpan came over to pay his respects.\n\nMêngchu is one of the old Shan towns whence the original inhabitants have been practically ousted by the more thriving Chinese.\n\nOn the 25th April, two days after leaving Mêngchu, we crossed the River Weiyuan for Chingku, as it is now gradually becoming known) at Patieh. Two days later, after passing a few villages inhabited by natives of the strikingly handsome Puman race, we entered the Szémao district and were met by the local magistrate; the following day, the 28th April, we arrived at Szemao, where spacious quarters were provided for me adjoining the Taoyin's yamên. The Taoyin and magistrate pressed me to stay a week in Szemao; I consented to two days, but on the second day the Taoyin urged that he still had important business to transact, and I could hardly refuse his request that we should postpone our departure for one more day.\n\nPrevious to my departure for Tengyuch, I had written to a reliable correspondent, soliciting his co-operation to obtain for me, if possible, information on the subject of opium in the area under his cognisance. With that request he very courteously complied; he informed me quite definitely that, as the result of several punitive expeditions during the past winter, there was, as far as he was aware, no more cultivation of opium in the Szemao district, and that while probably at least 30 per cent. of the adult population of the town, both male and female, still continued to consume the drug, the enormous rise in price bore out his contention.\n\nFrom Szemao northwards towards Tali three routes were open to me; that viâ Chingku (Weiyuan) was ruled out by the fact that it had already been traversed by the Taoyin on his journey to Mienning to meet me; on the north-eastern route, via T'alang-the main road to Yunnan-fu-according to all the information I could obtain, a considerable quantity of opium had been grown, and harvested, earlier in the season, but very thorough measures of eradication had been carried out some weeks previously; I therefore decided to take the more direct but less frequented route via Puêrh, Hsinfu (in Chênyuan district) and Chingtung.\n\nLeaving Szemao on the 2nd May, some three hours of travel, including a stiff climb, brought us to the boundary of the P'uêrh district, where the local magistrate awaited us; the Szemao magistrate, however, continued to accompany us till the town of Puerh was reached the next day; on this day's journey our route crossed a splendid Chinese arched stone bridge, in admirable preservation.\n\nAt Mohei, the next stage, I took the opportunity to pay a visit to the large and flourishing salt-mines about a mile and a half away. Dr. Kelly, the American representative of the Chinese Salt Administration, who had arrived about two months previously, was away on tour, but his English-speaking Chinese colleague very kindly demonstrated to me all the processes of Chinese salt extraction.\n\nThe next four stages, viâ Mop'o, Manpieh and Manlien, to Hsin-fu, call for little comment save for the extreme beauty of the scenery; on all sides rose range after range of pine-clad hills, mostly well-wooded to their summits; the valleys were, however, parched and bare, and travelling along the lower levels was excessively hot. The only record in my possession of a route between Hsinfu and Chingtung dated from 1881, when the journey was made by a British traveller; our route, however, was almost entirely different from his, and we spent but five days on the distance which had taken him six. For the last three days we were accompanied by the Chingtung magistrate, who came out to meet us.\n\nThis latter official was also among the number of those who have displayed special energies in the matter of opium suppression; practically every town and hamlet which we traversed in his district boasted its own small bureau for the furtherance of the task, while the magistrate's extensive tours of inspection included a journey to the summit of Wu-Liang-Shan, between 11,000 and 12,000 feet high.\n\nLeaving Chingtung on the 15th May, three days' journey brought us to the boundary between the Puerh and Tengyueh circuits, at Shukai (locally pronounced Ch'ukai); Here we found that the Tengyueh Taoyin and the Mênghua district magistrate had been awaiting our arrival for three days. Before bidding farewell to the Puêrh Taoyin, I gave him a letter detailing our route through his circuit and congratulating him on the fact that we had discovered not a single opium poppy in a month's journey. In the course of an interesting conversation, he freely admitted that the task of suppression had been considerably easier in his circuit than elsewhere in the province; he was no less frank regarding the prevalence of opium smoking, and expressed the opinion that from three to five years must elapse before this would be stopped.\n\nPage [603] \n517 \n55 \n54",

        "content_text": "# 56\n\nDuring the whole time that I had travelled with the P'uêrh Taoyin, I had met with nothing but courtesy and kindness at his hands, and it was with real regret that I parted with him and resumed the company of the Tengyueh Taoyin.\n\nTwo days' travel, the first of which gave us a magnificent and extensive view of Wu-Liang-Shan, brought us to Nanchien, where our halt coincided with that of an unusually ragged and ruffianly party of Chinese regular troops, en route to suppress a local outbreak of brigandage some two days' journey to the south-west. I received a visit from the district magistrate of Mitu, the limit of whose jurisdiction was only a mile or so away. Two days later, 21st May, the large walled town of Menghua was reached, and here, much against my wish, we stayed a day at the request of the Taoyin, who asserted the receipt of important despatches requiring urgent attention.\n\nThe large district of Mênghua is one of those which took the fullest advantage of the iniquitous permission accorded last year by the Governor of Yunnan for the cultivation of poppy; if rumour speaks true, the early harvest of the past season was considerable, and the local magistrate is asserted to have lined his pockets well by allowing a second crop, on learning that the inspecting officers would not be able to reach his district before May. But for several weeks prior to our arrival, military, police, and civil officials, including himself, had been out in all directions to ensure that no poppy should be left. Certainly none was to be seen along our route, and the predominating crops consisted of healthy-looking wheat.\n\nFrom Menghua, it is but two days' journey to Siakwan, the largest business town in West Yunnan; on the second day, the route crosses a high mountain pass, which from the level of 8,800 feet affords a magnificent view of Tali lake.\n\nAssembled at Siakwan, which was reached on Empire Day, to meet the Taoyin were a host of Chinese officials, including the magistrates of the three districts of Fêngi, Pinch'uan, and Tali. For many years past, Siakwan has been one of the largest distributing centres for opium in all Yunnan, and the Chinese firm in whose premises quarters were found for me bears the reputation of being the wealthiest of all the opium dealers.\n\nFrom Tali, it had been originally suggested that the inspection tour should continue northwards to Likiang. Previous to our departure from Tengyueh, I had invoked the aid of two well-informed foreigners with local knowledge to obtain for me reliable information on the subject of poppy crops in the north-west of the province; and letters from each of them were awaiting me at Siakwan. The first reported planting this season in the north of the Paoshan (Yungchang) district and north-east of Yungpei, but that none remained, save, perhaps, in inaccessible spots; the second affirmed that already by the middle of April, no trace of cultivation remained in the Likiang, Hoch'ing, or Chiench'uan districts, and that in the Yungpei district (north of the Yang-tsze), it was probably grown only by Liso and other tribal folk, over whom the Chinese have practically no control. These reports were confirmed at Tali by the Rev. W. J. Hanna, of the China Inland Mission, and by the representative of the British-American Tobacco Company, both of whom travel extensively, and who assured me that it was several weeks too late for any likelihood of discovering opium crops on a visit to Likiang.\n\nIn view of this consensus of opinion and also of the clear indications of the opening, already overdue, of the rainy season, I decided to abandon the Likiang tour. As, however, I had received many weeks previously definite information that no poppy crops were to be seen anywhere along the main road (via Siakwan, Yungping, and Yungchang) between Tali and Tengyueh, I elected to take the difficult and circuitous route via Têngch'uan, Yünlung, and Kait'ou; this route, incidentally, cuts across the north of the Paoshan (Yungch'ang) district.\n\nLeaving Tali on the 27th May, our first stage was the 16 miles of terrible ancient paved stone road to Shangkuan, at the north-west end of the Tali Lake. Here, we bade farewell to the Tali magistrate and made the acquaintance of the official in charge of the district of Têngchuan. This town was passed the following morning after two hours of easy going, succeeded by a stiff climb to 8,900 feet, and a steep descent to the surprisingly large town of Fengvü (in the Erhyuan district), lying in a huge basin of terraced rice-fields. From Fengvu, the road climbs up to 10,700 feet, and then drops down to 6,100 feet, the level of the Yangpi River, which flows through the town of that name and Siakwan, into the southern end of the Tali Lake. Two days of travel through beautiful pine-forest country and one day of wilder scenery past several large salt-wells brought us to the town of Yünlung.\n\n# 57\n\nThe town of Yünlung lies at the eastern foot of the lofty range flanking the left bank of the Mekong River, and the day's journey to the 60-year-old chain suspension bridge (the Fei-Lung, or Flying Dragon, bridge) over that turgid torrent consisted of a climb from 5,500 feet to 9,700 feet, succeeded by a long and stony descent to 4,600 feet, the elevation of the Mekong at this point. The fierce swiftness of its 80 yards broad current is sufficiently accounted for by the fact that it descends over 1,800 feet between here and the Tapêng ferry, by which we crossed it on the outward journey.\n\nBut a still more formidable day's march lay before us, over the yet higher range on the right bank of the Mekong. The altitudes on this section varied between 5,000 feet at the start (Chiuchou), 11,800 feet at the summit, and 7,000 feet at the halting-place, Ts'aochien. Almost the whole of the climb was over the roughest of stone-boulder paving, and much of it in deep trough-like gullies, while, save at the very summit, the path was overgrown by dense jungle.\n\nAfter two more days of very hilly travel, we came to the crossing of the Salween, here effected in a large, unwieldy-looking boat, the helmsman of which plied a huge stern sweep, some 20 feet long, to negotiate obliquely the passage of the intervening rapids. From the level of the Salween at this point (Mêngku ferry) to the summit of the range, on the right bank, is an ascent of all but 8,000 feet, and the climb over the summit, 10,500 feet, through dense jungle, followed by a steep and terribly rugged drop of close on 4,000 feet, made a day's journey scarcely less arduous than that over the Mekong range.\n\nWe were now back again in the Têngch'ung district, and three more days, the first two of which descended the undulating paddy-plains flanking the Shweli, brought our tour to a close on the 11th June.\n\nThe total period occupied by my tour was seventy-six days, all but seven of which were travelling days; my estimate of the total distance covered is 884 miles, of which I accomplished fully 90 per cent on foot. The route followed traversed some portion at least of eighteen separate districts, and while it cannot, of course, claim to be in any way exhaustive—the start was far too late to admit of such a possibility—it served, in my opinion, to establish the fact that along considerable stretches of country in both the western and southern circuits of Yunnan, the Chinese have undoubtedly made genuine efforts to stamp out, for the time being at any rate, the cultivation of opium. This effort must have cost the province a very large sum of money, estimated by the Tengyueh Taoyin at not less than half a million dollars. As an instance of the heavy expenditure incurred, he assured me that between the months of November and March last, his bill for official telegrams on the subject of opium alone, at 6 cents per word, came to over 2,000 dollars.\n\nI have the honour to append herewith an itinerary of the journey, together with a rough sketch map† showing the various places passed en route.\n\nI cannot close this report without adding a few words to express my high appreciation of the very great assistance willingly and cheerfully rendered throughout the tour by the consulate writer, Mr. Chang-Po-tuan, in obtaining accurate information from day to day regarding both the route I desired to follow and the facts in relation to opium cultivation in the adjoining territory.\n\nA.

(Continued from Page 3)\n\nTHE ALLIES AND TURKEY.\n\nParis, Sept. 21.\n\nAn account of the proceedings of the Foreign Ministers' Conference yesterday is contained in the semi-official statement which says that Lord Curzon expressed great astonishment at the fact that while the British had decided to reinforce her troops at Chanak, both France and Italy had resolved to withdraw their contingents from the south side of the Sea of Marmora.\n\nLord Curzon considered that the Franco-Italian decision hardly conformed with the agreements of 1915 and 1918, providing for partial Inter-Allied occupation of Turkish territory.\n\nM. Poincare regarded the agreements as being at present inapplicable, as no conflict was feared when the allocation of troops was provided thereunder. He added that French opinion would not permit French troops to act with the Greeks and he argued that if Chanak was held, the whole of the southern shore of the Sea of Marmora ought equally to be occupied.\n\nKemalists would entertain peace proposals.\n\nSignor Sforza, agreeing with M. Poincare, believed that the discussions on the acceptable basis of agreement cabled last night and which just then arrived.\n\nThe Conference decided, in principle, to hold a Peace Conference at Venice, but pointed out that Russia had not been invited as she was not directly interested, the Soviet-Angora Treaty specifically excluding Russian decisions affecting the sovereignty of Turkey and the security of Constantinople.\n\nM. Poincare further pointed out the military objection to the Allies fighting with their backs to the sea. He also pointed out the undesirable effect upon the Islamic world if Britain adopted an uncompromising or bellicose attitude.\n\nIt is semi-officially declared that the problem cannot be referred to the League of Nations as urged by Dr. Nansen and Dominion representatives, as it is a Government matter.\n\nThe document states that the Foreign Minister's decision marks a big step on the road to peace.\n\nAll broken, chafed and damaged cargo is to be left in the Godowns, where it will be examined at 10 a.m. on 26th inst., by the Company's Surveyors, Messrs. Anderson & Ashe.\n\nAll claims must be presented within thirty days of the steamer's arrival here, after which they cannot be recognized.\n\nNo claims will be recognised after the goods have left the Godowns, and cargo undelivered on and after Sept. 27th will be subject to rent.\n\nNo Fire Insurance whatever will be effected.\n\nConsignees are requested to send in their Bills of Lading for counter-signature immediately.\n\nPACIFIC STEAMSHIP CO., United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation, No. 4.

The Treasury experts estimate that the new tariff under the Fordney-McCumber Bill, the measure when enacted, will yield about $100,000,000 annual revenue, half of which will be derived from the following sources, viz., sugar, $37,000,000; raw wool, $63,000,000; tobacco, $35,000,000; laces and embroideries, $15,000,000; while the average ad valorem rates will be slightly higher than the Payne-Aldrich Tariff.\n\nThey will in actual operation show an average slightly lower because some of the new duties will be inoperative owing to their height or the absence of imports of commodities they cover.\n\nPerhaps, the most notable feature of the Bill is the power given to the President, after investigation by the Tariff Commission, to increase or decrease any rate in the Bill by 50 per cent. if necessary, in order to set off the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad.\n\nThe President may also declare American valuations as the basis of an assessment of ad valorem duties.\n\nIt is estimated that this will automatically increase the rates about 100 per cent.\n\nAfter such declaration the President could reduce any duty by 50 per cent. but could not increase it.\n\nAlmost all infantile troubles arise in the first place from stomach and bowel troubles.\n\nTo remedy these conditions use Baby's Own Tablets.\n\nThese Tablets stand in a class by themselves, being especially made for children's use, pleasant in taste and guaranteed absolutely harmless.\n\nThey quickly reduce simple fever, cure indigestion, check diarrhoea, allay teething pains, expel worms, relieve croup and colds, quiet the nerves and promote health-giving, restful sleep in a natural way.\n\nBaby's Own Tablets are sold by chemists, or at 60 cents the vial, post free, from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., 96 Szechuen Road, Shanghai.\n\nVisitors always welcome a VICTROLA No Home complete without one.\n\nMCUTRIES:-Sole Agents.\n\nAIRSHIPS SUPPLANT CRUISERS.\n\nLondon, Sept. 21.

At the last moment energetic action was taken, which, at any rate for the time being, prevented trouble; but it may be noted that this action was not taken by Shensi's Christian Tuchun. The agitation has spread throughout the province, and according to the same informant students together with a number of local rowdies broke into and looted a Swedish up-country mission of which the occupants were fortunately absent, while at another town students and soldiers attempted to set fire to the English Baptist Mission, and were only prevented in the nick of time by the prompt action of the general in command. From the same informant I learn that on the 17th and 18th January messengers went from house to house in Sian-fu and in district cities as distant as 60 miles east and west of that place and called upon the people to rise and exterminate foreigners and their followers. Representations addressed to the military governor appear on this occasion to have resulted in effective action by him. Direct connection between this movement and the student agitation of the 21st December is not alleged, but under conditions existing in the less accessible parts of China the transition from a student movement calling for the expulsion of foreigners to a massacre of foreigners by roughs is an obvious one.\n\nWhile the tone of student agitation elsewhere called into being in connection with the Washington Conference has not equalled in violence that in Szechuan and Shensi, minor demonstrations have occurred, and it would only require a word from those who play upon the feelings of the students and make capital out of their agitation to cause a movement which might have serious consequences from end to end of the country.\n\nI have the honour to enclose copies of two reports by Brigadier-General Pereira, retired, who was formerly military attaché to this Legation and is now travelling for purposes of sport in Western China. These reports enlarge upon the danger to China arising out of the interference of the student classes in politics, a danger which in his opinion is even greater than that caused by the brigand-soldiers with whom the country is overrun. Both dangers spring from the loosening of the bonds which have in the past held together the Chinese body politic. But while the soldier evil is one without a spark of good intention to redeem it, it should not be forgotten that the student movement contains within itself the seeds of hope. Even if it be admitted that its immediate outcome may be only evil, the fact that it is the first outcome of a widespread interest among the Chinese people in their administration is a sign of good to come. There are grounds for the hope that, after a period of disturbance caused or strongly assisted by the student movement perhaps lasting for years and incidentally causing great injury to foreign interests, the effect of the movement may ultimately be to render impossible the government of the country by illiterate ex-brigands or an oligarchy of corrupt and incompetent mandarins.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nB.

Pereira of November 29, 1921.\n\nThe Present State of China.\n\nPROBABLY the two provinces that are in the greatest state of chaos at the present time are Shensi and Szechuan.

Brigands are rife in both, though the European traveller generally should have no difficulty if he takes the trouble to warn officials of his proposed routes and uses an intelligent discrimination in accepting their statements as to what routes are safe. The fever of gambling is probably more fully developed in Szechuan. The chief difference between the two provinces is that whilst the students were kept in subjection under the late Tuchun of Shensi (Ch'en Shu-fan) the soldiers were more aggressive in that province. Whilst I have had no trouble from the soldiers in Szechuan, I have found from all accounts that the students in it are far more troublesome.\n\n3\n\nFormerly I considered the want of discipline and unnecessary number of soldiers was China's chief trouble; I have now come to the conclusion that the students are an even greater evil, certainly from the point of view of the foreigner.\n\nThe student, usually a wretched half-baked creature, who argues like a small child without fear of correction, has no solid base of education to help him. He picks up a smattering of foreign learning which enables him to pose without difficulty as a superior being among his own people, who therefore fear him, whilst before the foreigner he realises his inferiority, causing him a loss of face and turning him to anti-foreign feelings at heart.\n\nIf the students were under a strong foreigner, not afraid of him, the foreign-trained student in China would, no doubt, benefit, but when he is under weak foreigners, afraid to stand up to him in a fight to a finish, the student gets the upper hand and the prestige of the foreigner sinks. He judges that all foreigners are weak in the same way, and the more this feeling takes root the more anti-foreign and dangerous he becomes.\n\nUnfortunately from my own experience by far the greater number of foreign teachers I have met, in native or foreign-run schools and universities, have proved to be weak. They are handicapped by being generally poor and dependent on their salaries from Chinese officials or foreign societies. If they put up a fight to a finish in a Chinese-run institution they will probably be forced to give up their jobs, whilst in the foreign-run institution there is the danger of the students going out in a body, with the onus on the teachers of being made responsible for the collapse of the school.\n\nThe Chinese are past masters in the art of asserting themselves by combination, and, as a result of successful strikes and threats in the past, they have gradually got to realise their own strength and the weakness of Chinese officials and foreign teachers in the face of organised opposition, the only thought of the latter being to check the evil by temporising and concessions.\n\nAs regards the all-important question of the state of the students in the model province of Shansi, I formed a poor opinion of the model governor as a man because he truckled to the students and allowed them to invade his yamên and forced him to comply with their demands under fear of threats of a general strike. On the other hand, I realised his sterling merits as a kind, grandmotherly being, for his kindly wishes for the welfare of the people, for the excellence of the platonic vapourings which he caused to be posted on many of the houses throughout the province, for his good intentions and for some minor useful reforms. On the other hand, in the otherwise lawless and divided province of Shensi, Ch'en Shu-fan (the late Tuchun) took a strong hand in keeping the students in subjection, notwithstanding all the difficulties of his position. Though probably his past life has not merited for him the hope of beatification after death, nevertheless he struck me, from the accounts of qualified foreigners who had met him, as being essentially a strong man with a will and mind of his own. So far he has never had a fair chance, as when in power only a limited part of the province acknowledged his rule, but if he succeeds in reasserting himself, as seems at present possible, I hope he will be given the chance of proving that he is an efficient ruler and capable of re-establishing order in this distracted province.\n\nSzechuan is so broken up by the number of contending factions that a return for it to a state of peace and prosperity seems at the moment remote. Possibly Hsiung K'o-wu may decide to return to political life. He appears to be the most popular figure in the province, is still young (under 40), has a reputation for capacity and might develop into a strong man.\n\nTo sum up, poor China, torn by contending parties, in which everybody is fighting for his own hand, overwhelmed by an unexampled series of catastrophes in the shape of famine, earthquakes and floods, has never been in such hopeless straits before. The honest, law-abiding Chinese, as represented by the bulk of its population and also by the merchant, longs for peace and security, whilst the soldiers (a term at present synonymous with brigands), whose numbers are far in excess of all legitimate requirements, see they have the upper hand, and make use of their power to tyrannise over the wretched people. At the same time the students, seeing the weakness generally of their officials, and particularly of the foreigners with whom they come most in contact, are daily becoming more anti-foreign. History may be repeated, as in the case of the Boxer movement of 1900, and they may succeed one day in diverting the overwrought feelings of the wretched people against the foreigner, as the cause of all their woes.\n\nTo make matters worse, some ill-advised foreigners go home and give a roseate and absolutely false impression of an imaginary wonderful improvement in China.\n\n179",

I pointed out these allegations to the Deputy- Commissioner of Foreign Affairs, and he admitted that they were totally untrue. In my turn I asked him whether a fund had been raised by the Chinese, as undertaken, to compensate those employees who had not been paid in full, and whether the Police had, under the terms of the Gentlemen's Agreement, been re-employed in the city. He confessed that neither of these things had yet been done.\n\nSubsequently the agitators started distributing inflammatory leaflets in the Concessions. At the same time warnings were being given and letters were being sent to a number of individual employees, threatening them or their families unless they left their work. Some of these so threatened, but by no means all, had taken the place of employees dismissed for various reasons. One of the men caught in the act was arrested by the French Consul and handed over to the Chinese Police, but I have not heard what became of him. They also took to visiting the Shameen employees, calling on them with threats to cease work again. What the employees' attitude was towards such incitements may be gauged from copy and translation of the enclosed letter addressed by them to the French Consul, together with one of the leaflets referred to above (enclosure 4).\n\nThe matter came to a head on the morning of September 19th, when one of these threatened\n\nPage 11",

It would therefore appear that, unless the blow is directed towards Hung Hom Bay, i.e. from a south-easterly direction, the proposed wharves there could not be effected by the construction of the North Point Scheme. Further, any increased disturbance at Hung Hom Bay could only be due to the completion of the easterly portion of the North Point Scheme, but considering the scheme as a whole, it is difficult to determine whether the reduction effected in the available surface of water by its completion would not counterbalance the tendency to conserve sea action which may be established by the construction of a reclamation and quay wall.\n\nThe facts, however, as presented by the Consulting Engineers, are that during typhoon weather, no ships if able to get away, will be lying alongside unsheltered quays either at North Point or in Hung Hom Bay, and the effect of sea disturbance whether direct or deflected would not damage a properly constructed quay wall.\n\nThe other question, as to whether a quay wall at North Point will cause inconvenience to shipping by increasing sea disturbance in its vicinity, can be best answered by pointing out that no inconvenience is ever felt at the quay wall at Taikoo, where it is generally admitted that the wave action is as great as at North Point. I would also mention that since the commencement of construction of the quay wall at Marine Lots 430 & 431, there have been on various occasions blows with a wind velocity of over 30 miles per hour during the N.E. monsoon from directions north to north-east. Although a floating block-setting crane is used which would be inoperable in waters disturbed to such an extent as to cause inconvenience to an ordinary lighter, no interruption has been caused to the progress of the work. There is little likelihood of any serious disturbance alongside the quay wall\n\nPage 6",

        "content_text": "# shines in its brightness on the grassy green valley, \n\nThe sea is calm and of the same colour as the sky, with the sun's beautiful rays shining on it, sparkling like gold. The fishing boats are approaching, and the fishermen sing their evening song, rowing their boats slowly along.\n\nBirds are flying here and there, going home to roost in their snug little nests, after one day's work of finding food. Farmers are going home with ploughs on their shoulders after their labour. Long fields of green corn seem to meet the sky and shepherds with drowsy flocks streaming in front are returning home to sleep, not missing one sheep of them all.\n\nThe smoke begins to come out from the chimneys of the village houses, and causes a grey cloud in the lower part of the sky. Flowers, grasses, and trees seem to have a good rest after receiving heat and brightness from the sun, which assist their growth. It is a beautiful picture created by the creator of the world, and its natural beauty no artist can ever trace or paint. Anybody can enjoy this lovely picture to their heart's content, whether rich or poor, high or low.\n\n**Ho Sir HING, Class 2.**\n\n## SEEN IN THE STREET\n\n### A LETTER-WRITER\n\nThe other morning after the moon had set, the sun rose above the horizon of the sea, above the trees. Soon it rose higher and higher. The streets became noisy with the sound of passengers and cries of hawkers.\n\nFrom a far distance came an old man walking steadily on towards the corner of the street. He was a bare-headed man with a white beard on his chin. His clothes were white, and he had a big blue umbrella in his hand, a basket in the other, and a stool and a small table upon his shoulder. He came nearer and nearer to the corner. As he reached the place, he arranged his stall and sat on the stool with the table in front of him.\n\nAt length a Chinese maid, dressed in black, with a basket in her hand and a pair of pattens on her feet, came to him. She asked him to write a letter for her. The old man, after putting his spectacles on his nose, lifted up his pen and wrote the letter. The maid sat beside him and waited anxiously. When the letter was finished, the maid dropped a five-cent piece on his table and bade him farewell. The man examined the coin carefully and put it in his pocket.\n\n## A FORTUNE-TELLER\n\nFortune-tellers are commonly seen in busy streets in this Colony. At the corner of one of the streets, there was an old fortune-teller. He was a bare-headed man with white hair. He sat beside the table. On the table, there was a book, a bottle of Chinese ink, a tortoise shell, and a box of sticks. He considered his work to be accurate.\n\nA school boy wanted to test the fortune-teller. He went to see him and asked him to find out when his fortune would come. The teller inquired his age and the date and exact time of his birth. The boy answered that he was eighteen years old and gave him further particulars. The teller instantly opened his book and tried to find out his fortune for him. At last, he said to the boy, \"When you are at the age of twenty, you will have good luck and gain plenty of money.\" The boy stood up with anger and said to the teller, \"I am twenty-one years old now. Last year, my father died, and that summer, I was sick and disappointed. Now you say that I will have good luck when I am twenty years of age. This is evidently incorrect. I know that you gain your living by deceiving others.\" After these words were said, the boy ran away without paying him even a cash.\n\n### A DOLL-MAKER\n\nIn one of the busy streets, there was a man surrounded by a group of children. In front of him, there was a wooden box. He sat there making dolls busily to gain his living. The dolls were beautifully made. They were magnificent and splendid. Some of them were fixed with different colours; others were made in the shape of Indians, Chinese, and all kinds of people. The children liked them very much.\n\nSoon, a sister and brother came rushing towards him, and a child with a baby on her back was also running to the same place. Instantly, he was surrounded by children; these children were staring at him with eagerness, and some of them went home to get money to buy a doll. At last, the sun went down to the west. Now was the time for dinner, so the crowd gradually decreased, and the man gathered his property and went his way home.\n\n**WONG LAI WAN, Class 2.**\n\n## THE FLOWERS\n\nThe Queen of the flowers, one day, invited her intimate friends, the Pansy, the Lily, and the Violet, to tea.",

        "content_text": "# Ngok Fi, A FAMOUS CHINESE Hero\n\nNgok Fi was born in Shau Chow in the province of Honan during the reign of Hwei Tsung in the Sung dynasty. Three days after his birth, his father and his house and property were flooded and destroyed by a sudden deluge that happened to his village; Ngok Fi and his mother escaped by sitting inside a great cistern. When the cistern floated to a village, called \"Unicorn Village,\" they were rescued by a rich man whose name was Wong Ming. Then Ngok Fi was brought up by his mother in Wong Ming's house. He was filial and very fond of learning. He treated those who were brave and truthful as if they were his own brothers. His teacher Chau Tung was a great, learned man, and was full of military ability. He taught Ngok Fi all that he knew, both civil and military matters.\n\nWhen Ngok Fi became a soldier, he vanquished all the robbers of the empire, and gained many wonderful victories by defeating the Kin or eastern Tartars who lived in the North of China. In honour of his success the Emperor Kao Tsung wrote \"Loyalty, Fidelity, Ngok Fi\" on a banner and gave it to him. He led an army of God-fearing men to fight against the eastern Tartars, and drove them back to the North of Honan. The bravery of his armies made the Kin so frightened that they said to each other, \"It is easier to pull down a mountain than to overcome the armies of Ngok.\"\n\nAs Ngok Fi wanted to defeat them utterly, he led his soldiers to Chu-sin-chan. One day, he received twelve golden tablets from the Emperor, who summoned him to return with his army. If he did not obey the Emperor's command, he would be punished, since it was a great crime for a person not to listen to the orders of an Emperor. If he returned with his army, the Kin would come into the country to plunder towns and seize land. This thought caused him great anxiety, but at last he decided to leave his armies in Chu-sin-chan to prevent the Kin from coming into the country and went to see the Emperor by himself.\n\nTsun Kwui, a cruel and cunning minister, wanted to make peace with the Kin, and because the Kin had bestowed on him a large annuity, he had promised to return them lands north of the River Wan; he was also jealous of Ngok Fi. It was he who spoke evil of Ngok Fi before the Emperor and caused him to call the great general back.\n\nThe twelve golden tablets that Ngok Fi received were thus not sent by the Emperor's purpose, but through the ingenious, crafty scheming of Tsun Kwui. When Ngok Fi had gone half-way from Chu-sin-chan, he met several officers sent to capture him by Tsun Kwui's order, but they were ordered to tell Ngok Fi that they came to capture him by the Emperor's command, thus the great general made no refusal. He was brought back to the Capital of Bin and was accused of treason. He and his sons were put into prison for two months, and they were killed there by Tsun Kwui's order. Ngok Fi died at the age of thirty-nine, his faithfulness, filial devotion, bravery, and benevolence were respected by people for thousands of years. Still to this day many people go to visit his grave which is situated near the West Lake in Heang-chow, a great city in the province of Che-kiang.\n\nTANG YUK HING, \nClass 1.\n\n## \n\nThey all came in splendour, and each bowed low to her hostess. The Rose, their hostess, asked them to go in the garden for tea, because, she said, it is much fresher than in the room.\n\nWhen she saw the Lily, she exclaimed, \"How pure and fresh you are, and oh! how gracefully you carry yourself!\" The Lily smiled and said, \"Queen, I am not comparable to your exquisite complexion, and what kind of scent is it that you use? It is so sweet.\" The Rose blushed, and showed two bright red spots, and she looked lovelier still, and said, \"I use a kind of perfume made especially for me by my perfume-maker. He named it 'Rose,' because I always sprinkle it all over myself.\"\n\n\"The sweet-maker, the other day,\" said the Violet, \"asked me to name some of his sweets. I thought for a long time, and I suddenly remembered that the sweets were light purple, and so I asked him to have them named 'Violet.'\"\n\nThe Pansy, who had been silent from the beginning to end, gave a faint sigh, and said, \"How I envy all of you! It seems that when I walk beside you all, I look so short and undignified, and all your beauty outshines me, so that I feel humble beside you all.\" The Queen soon comforted her, and said, \"My dear Pansy, why do you say such words? Why, all the people round us wear you in their buttonholes.\" The Pansy brightened up instantly, and soon they all bade the Queen \"Au Revoir\" with very low bows.\n\nLAM YAN YUK, \nClass 2.",

Neither document is very intelligible in detail. Much is deliberate word-spinning with intent to conceal unpleasant facts, much is sheer confusion and crudity of thought so common to all \"half-baked revolutionaries\" (to use His Majesty's Minister's phrase) not excluding the great Sun Yat-sen himself whose \"Three Aspects of Democracy\" is almost comic in its blindness to the implications of its own arguments. Read in the light of actual events these documents are, however, clear confirmation of the view expressed in the despatch referred to above, that the Hankow clique seeks safety in division, while the Nanchang clique seeks strength in unity of control.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S.

        "content_text": "## \n26 \n\nIn almost all the Building Bye-laws the authority is given to the Building Authority and the Board has none.\n\nThe following table which shows the composition of the seventeen Select Committees and the work done by each during the period of seven months October 1929 to April 1930 speaks for itself. The information is taken from the official papers, the monthly reports to the Board which only started in October 1929.\n\n| Select Committee | Composition | No. of cases dealt with in the 7 months Oct. to April inclusive | Average cases per month |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1. Prevention and mitigation of epidemic, endemic, contagious and infectious diseases | H.S.D. & M.O.H. | Nil | Nil |\n| 2. Lime washing | F.L.S.D. & S.S.B. | 52 | 7 |\n| 3. Basements and underground rooms |  | 27 |  |\n| 4. Water Closets | D.P.W., M.O.H. & 2 un-officials | 90 | 13 |\n| 5. Offensive trades | H.S.D. & D.P.W. | 13 | 2 |\n| 6. Bake houses and laundries | H.S.D. & M.O.H. | 17 | 2 |\n| 7. Dairies | H.S.D., M.O.H. & O.V.S. | 9 |  |\n| 8. Special food licenses | H.S.D. & S.C.A. | 60 |  |\n| 9. Aerated waters | H.S.D. & 1 un-official | 7 | 1 |\n| 10. Wells and pools | H.S.D. & 2 un-officials | 7 | 1 |\n| 11. Keeping cattle, swine, sheep and goats | H.S.D. & S.S.B. | 39 | 6 |\n| 12. Animals | H.S.D. & 1 un-official | 19 | 0.3 |\n| 13. Factories | H.S.D. & S.C.A. | Nil | Nil |\n| 14. Cemeteries | H.S.D. | 5 | 0.7 |\n| 15. Exhumations | H.S.D. & S.S.B | 853 | 122 |\n| 16. Matshed latrines | H.S.D. & M.O.H | 3 | 0.8 |\n| 17. Notice of complaints | H.S.D. & M.O.H. | 11,123 | 1,589 |\n\nIn 12 cases the Committee consists of the Chairman and one other, in two cases of the Chairman and two others, and in two cases of the Chairman and three others. In one case, that of cemeteries, the Select Committee is the President himself.\n\nWith the exception of the Select Committee on Water Closets, these Committees rarely meet, all the work being carried out by correspondence, which in many cases consists in the Secretary of the Board sending the file with the President's comments to the other member or members. Very rarely does the Committee, as a Committee, visit the premises under discussion, being content with the description furnished by the Sanitary Department or the Public Works Department.\n\nWhen it is understood that Committees (2) and (17) consist of the H.S.D. and M.O.H.; Committee (15) of the H.S.D. and Secretary S.B.; and Committee (8) of the H.S.D. and the S.C.A., the amount of executive work done by the Sanitary Board as distinct from the Sanitary Department will be realised.\n\nThe Select Committee on Water Closets is the only one that meets regularly. It consists of the D.P.W., the M.O.H., and two un-official members. All the work of visiting premises, scrutinising plans, and preparing cases is done either by the staff of the D.P.W. or the staff of the M.O.H.\n\nFrom the above, it is obvious that the amount of executive work done by the Board as a Board is very small indeed, and that for practical purposes, the H.S.D. is the executive authority.\n\nThe H.S.D., who is President of the Board, is Chairman of 16 of the 17 Select Committees. He is not on the Select Committee for Water Closets, the Chairman of which is the Hon. Director of Public Works.\n\n## SANITARY DEPARTMENT\n\nThe Sanitary Department, which is a department composed entirely of Government Servants, has a personnel of 1,610 divided into two classes, viz.; officers and servants.\n\nThe officers, who with one exception are Europeans, number 61; the servants, who are all Asiatics, number 1,549.\n\nThe \"Head of the Sanitary Department\" is at present a Cadet. The Officers are:\n- The Medical Officers of Health (3)\n- The Veterinary Surgeons (2)\n- The Sanitary Inspectors:\n  - Chief Sanitary Inspector (1)\n  - Senior Sanitary Inspector (6)\n  - Sanitary Inspectors (46)\n  Total (53)\n- The Secretaries (2)\n\nThe servants include store-keepers, overseers, foremen, engineers, artisans, motor-car drivers, and coolies.\n\nThe Sanitary Board has no direct powers over the Sanitary Department, but Section 8(2) lays down that \"the Head of the Sanitary Department shall give instructions as may be necessary for carrying out and giving effect to the decisions of the Board\". There is nothing limiting the Board in the matter of decisions, and, therefore, it would seem that the Board can, by resolution passed at its meetings, direct what the Sanitary Staff shall and shall not do, and the H.S.D. has no option but to put those directions into effect.\n\nThere are two Medical Officers of Health and one Chinese Assistant Medical Officer of Health. They are paid by the Medical Department, but they are seconded to the Sanitary Department.\n\n47",

        "content_text": "## The Colonial Veterinary Surgeon and the Assistant Colonial Veterinary Surgeon are attached to the department and on the department's pay roll.\n\nNeither the Medical Officers of Health, the Veterinary Surgeons nor the Sanitary Inspectors are servants of the Sanitary Board and there is nothing in the Ordinance other than Section 8(2) which gives the Board power to control their actions.\n\nAttached to the Department are 44 Interpreters who are members of the clerical service and who are not shown on the Department's estimates.\n\n## Nomination and training of Sanitary Personnel.\n\nAll Sanitary Inspectors are Europeans.\n\nNo special qualifying educational test has been laid down as is the case in Malaya, and candidates are not referred to the Medical Officer of Health before being recommended for appointment by the Head of the Sanitary Department.\n\nThe Medical Officers of Health and the Chief Sanitary Inspector hold classes and give lectures but there is yet no regular school for teaching such as exists in Malaya.\n\nHong Kong is an examination centre for the Royal Sanitary Institute and every year examinations are held for the Sanitary Inspector's Certificate, for the Sanitary Science Certificate and for the Meat and Food Certificate.\n\nThe examiners are the Director of Medical and Sanitary Services who is Chairman of the Board of Examiners, the Director of Public Works, the Medical Officer of Health, the Health Officer of the Port and the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon.\n\nCandidates come from as far distant as Shanghai to sit for these examinations.\n\nThe results of the last two years' tests have, so far as Hong Kong is concerned, been decidedly disappointing. The unanimous opinion of the examiners was that the Shanghai candidates showed a far more thorough knowledge of the subjects than did those from Hong Kong.\n\nOne of the chief reasons for the high percentage of failures among the local Inspectors is the absence of a proper school for training.\n\n## Sanitary Department's Standing Orders out-of-date.\n\nIn the book of Standing Orders and Instructions, in the keeping of the H.S.D., are to be found instructions for the M.O.H. The first of these states that \"He shall advise the Sanitary Board and the Government on all matters affecting the health of the Colony and shall report on any question relating to sanitation that may be referred to him by direction of the Board\".\n\nThe second states that \"He shall direct and superintend the work of the Sanitary Inspectors and of the entire Sanitary Staff working under his supervision and shall report to the H.S.D. any delinquencies on their part coming to his observation\".\n\nThese are departmental Standing Orders and Instructions which were issued by the Head of the Sanitary Department in 1911 and which have never been amended. They should, of course, have been brought up-to-date in 1924 and 1928.\n\nGovernment in its letter of 11.9.24 addressed to the Sanitary Board declared the P.C.M.O. (now the D.M.S.S.) the Officer responsible to Government for the Public Health of the Colony.\n\nAt the Legislative Council Meeting of September 1928 Government stated that with the view of bringing the Medical more closely in touch with the Sanitary Department and to give the Sanitary Board the advantage of the experience of the Medical Department \"the Principal Civil Medical Officer becomes Director of Medical and Sanitary Services and will be responsible for the technical side of the work of the Medical Officers of Health and for the advice that they will give to the Sanitary Board\".\n\nIt is quite obvious that by this declaration the D.M.S.S. through his Medical Officer of Health is the adviser to the Sanitary Board on all health matters.\n\nIt is also obvious that the Director being responsible for the technical side of the work of the Medical Officers of Health these Officers should be directly under him for such work, for no man can be made responsible without power of control.\n\nThe only point over which there can be difference of opinion is what exactly is meant by the word technical. The Oxford Dictionary defines \"technical\" to be \"of or in or peculiar to a particular art or science or craft\" and it is presumed that in this case the Government meant sanitary science.\n\nIt was failure to concur regarding the meaning of the word sanitary which prevented the H.S.D. and D.M.S.S. from coming to agreement regarding re-organisation in 1924 and the absence of an accepted definition has confused the issue ever since.\n\nFrom the context of the Government's letter of 11.9.24 it would seem that Government's interpretation of \"technical\" was that part of sanitary science which required for its intelligent execution such a training as is required by the medical curriculum as distinct from that which deals with cleanliness and order and which does not necessitate a medical training for its proper execution.\n\nThe nett result of six years' argument regarding reorganisation of the Sanitary Service is that the practice today remains what it became in 1908 and what it has continued ever since, viz., a cadet I.L.S.D. directing all sanitary services in the Colony other than that which deals with maritime quarantine and port health work.\n\nThe D.M.S.S. does not direct the technical side of the work of the Medical Officers of Health and he has no control over the advice given by the M.O.H. to the Sanitary Board.\n\n## The work performed by the Sanitary Department.\n\nThe work of the Sanitary Department may be considered under thirteen headings as follows:-\n\n| No. | Work Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | Measures for town cleansing, viz., street cleansing, scavenging and disposal of refuse. |\n| 2 | Measures for conservancy and night-soil disposal. |\n| 3 | Domestic sanitation measures - house cleansing and action re the provision of light and air and the prevention of overcrowding. |\n| 4 | The promotion of sanitation in places of assembly, e.g., common lodging houses, boarding houses, hotels, restaurants, eating houses, theatres, etc. |\n| 5 | The promotion of sanitation in factories including breweries, distilleries, workshops, and in connection with offensive trades. |\n| 6 | Measures for ensuring cleanliness in foods, viz., control of food factories (bake-houses, confectioneries, food preserving establishments) and markets. |\n| 7 | Measures for the prevention of importation of diseased animals or articles infected with the germs of animal diseases. |\n| 8 | Measures to prevent the spread of disease from animal to animal. |\n| 9 | Measures to prevent the spread of disease from animals to man. |\n| 10 | Measures for the prevention or mitigation of epidemic endemic, contagious or infectious disease. |\n| 11 | Measures for the disposal of the dead. |\n| 12 | The collection of samples under the Sale of Food and Drugs Act and the prosecution for offences under this Ordinance. |\n| 13 | The Registration of Births and Deaths. |\n\n49",

        "content_text": "## Scavenging and Refuse Disposal\n\nTwo hundred and fifty-four tons of refuse are collected daily and removed to the various refuse depots. The staff for scavenging consists of 4 Sanitary Inspectors, 60 Foremen, and 903 Coolies—that for refuse disposal includes 1 Inspector, 8 Foremen, and 131 barge men. The refuse is collected by motor vans. The method of disposal is mostly that of sea dumping, the material being carried by barges to a spot where the currents direct away from the Colony. Some of the refuse is used for reclamation of low-lying areas. On the whole, both the collection and disposal of refuse are well carried out.\n\n## Collection and Disposal of Night-soil\n\nThe collection and disposal of night-soil is carried out partly by the bucket system, partly by water carriage.\n\nRegarding the bucket system—arrangements are made with a Contractor for the removal and disposal of excrement under conditions laid down by the Sanitary Board. Human night-soil is a valuable commodity in China where it is used for fertilizing the fields, and there is no difficulty in securing Contractors who will pay considerable sums for the sole right of removal. Under a Contract made in January 1928, the Contractor pays $12,120.00 per annum to revenue for the contracts for Victoria and Kowloon. The excrement is removed by night from the latrines to a special fleet of junks which convey it up river to China where it is used as manure for the mulberry trees which feed the silk worms.\n\nOwing to the limitations of the water supply, it is necessary to restrict the number of water closets served by the public mains. Where a sufficiency of water can be obtained from other sources, such as wells or nullahs, water closets are allowed. With regard to effluents, some enter the public sewers direct, others pass to biological tank systems to be treated before final discharge.\n\nThe Sanitary Board, through its Select Committee on Water Closets, advises Government regarding the installation of water closets. The Public Works Department has charge of the sewerage system.\n\nThe latrine accommodation in many of the older houses is very inadequate, the latrines being situated on the roof. It is not uncommon for families occupying cubicles to have private commodes which are kept in the cubicles. There are a number of public latrines scattered throughout the city.\n\nConsidering the complexity of the problem, the night-soil collection and disposal system is well carried out.\n\n## Domestic Sanitation\n\nEvery domestic building or part of a building occupied by the members of more than one family must, unless specially exempted by the Sanitary Board, be cleansed and lime-washed throughout by the owner, to the satisfaction of the Board not less than once in every year.\n\nIt is the duty of the occupier of any domestic building to cause such building to be kept in a cleanly and wholesome condition.\n\nIn Hong Kong, there are 12,536 Chinese houses with 40,906 floors; in Kowloon, there are 7,960 houses and 22,453 floors. During the year 1929, 97,692 floors in Hong Kong and 55,070 floors in Kowloon were cleansed.\n\nDuring the cleansing process, all the furniture is moved and the walls and floors are washed down with kerosene oil emulsion, which not only cleanses but kills insects. In some cases, the work is carried out by the Sanitary staff; in others, the occupants are permitted to do the work under the supervision of the inspecting staff.\n\nOn average, each Inspector has 3,000 floors to cleanse. If these be done twice a year, the number of floors for each day is 24—say 8 houses. While the work is in progress, opportunity is taken to note any defects in the fabric or any transgression of the bye-laws for further action. In this work, the Inspectors are assisted by the Interpreters. The Coolie Staff engaged number 168.\n\nWork in connection with house cleansing occupies most of the time of the District Inspectors, and there is little left for any other duty.\n\nConsidering each Inspector has to supervise a district containing anything from 30,000 to 50,000 inhabitants, most of whom are ignorant of the rudiments of sanitation, the thoroughness of the cleansing operations is remarkable.\n\n## The Promotion of Sanitation in Places of Assembly\n\nUnder the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, \"Common Lodging House\" includes any house or part thereof where male persons of the labouring artisan or mechanical classes, not members of the same family, to the number of 10 or upwards are housed, but does not include a house or other permanent structure where shopmen or domestic servants are housed by their employers.\n\nThe Sanitary Board has power to make bye-laws for the licensing, regulation, and sanitary maintenance of lodging houses. Bye-law 7—made under this Ordinance—makes the Secretary of Chinese Affairs the licensing authority.\n\nUnder the Boarding House Ordinance of 1917—the term Boarding House includes Common Lodging Houses and Hotels. Under this Ordinance, the S.C.A is the licensing authority, and the Sanitary Department has powers of entry for inspection.\n\nAltogether, there are some 700 houses under license by the Secretary of Chinese Affairs. The Sanitary Inspectors have little time for the inspection of Common Lodging Houses, and in practice, they are not frequently visited. On the whole, they are not unsatisfactory.\n\n### Hotels and Restaurants\n\nThe principal hotels and restaurants are maintained in a sanitary condition, but in many of the lower-class eating houses, the standard of cleanliness is far from satisfactory. Apart from revenue, the principal reason for licensing is the maintenance of sanitary conditions. Licenses are seldom cancelled.\n\n### Promotion of Sanitation in Factories and Workshops\n\nPractically nothing is done in this line, and the law is more or less a dead letter. The conditions existing in many of the factories and workshops leave much to be desired.\n\n### Measures for Ensuring Cleanliness in Foods\n\nIn measures for ensuring cleanliness in foods, Hong Kong is away behind the times, and the standards maintained considerably below those considered the minimum for up-to-date cities.\n\n#### Markets\n\nThe markets are overcrowded, badly ventilated, and badly kept and compare unfavourably with similar institutions in up-to-date cities elsewhere. The practice of unloading fish from lorries by throwing them onto the dirty road in front of the Central Market is most unhygienic.\n\n#### Bake-houses\n\nThere are 212 bake-houses licensed in the Colony. In a recent tour of inspection made by the D.M.S.S. in company with the M.O.H. and C.S.T., a number of these establishments were found to be in a dirty and untidy condition and, in their then existing state, unworthy of licences.\n\n#### Dairies\n\nIn this Colony, the term dairy includes a milk-shop. There are altogether 52 licensed dairies. In 1929, only 49 samples of milk were submitted for examination, and the inference is that the milk trade is not supervised as it should be.",

        "content_text": "## Divisions of the Health Department\n\nThe District Health Officer is the Director of Health activities in his District. He spends every morning in the schools doing school medical work. He visits the same day children sent home from school suspected of communicable disease so as to catch the cases early.\n\nHis other duties include:--\n\nA. The conduct of Maternity and Infant Welfare and Child Welfare Centres in some Districts. There are special offices in some Centres.\n\nB. Work in connection with the V.D. Prevention Act.\n\nC. Work in connection with communicable disease.\n\nD. V.D. and T.B. Clinics in co-operation with hospitals.\n\nThe staff in the Dental Service consists of 25 half-time and 5 full-time Dental Officers under a Director of Dental Services who is responsible to the M.O.H. Every school child is examined once a year. The Dental Clinics are situated in the school buildings. Each Dentist has a Lady Assistant.\n\n### Division of Public Health Nursing\n\nThis Division has a staff of 114 Nurses each of whom has had four years training, three of which were spent in a hospital school of nursing and one in a university department of Public Health Nursing.\n\nThe primary function of the P.H. Nurse is health education and for this she is particularly fitted as she is a welcome visitor in the homes.\n\nIn each of the 9 Health Districts there is a Supt. of Nurses who supervises the duties of the staff of District Nurses attached to her command. Each nurse on the District Staff has assigned to her a small section and it is her duty to become acquainted with all the families in that section and to be familiar with what is going on. The Division of Public Health Nurses constitutes the vital connection between the home and the health department and the home and the hospitals. She is the friend and confidant of all and the person to whom those in trouble go for advice and assistance.\n\nThe duties of the P.H. Nurses include:-\n\n1. Home visiting.\n2. Attendance at school clinics.\n3. L.W. Clinics\n4. Hospitals for Infectious Disease and Tuberculosis Sanatoria. These Infectious Disease Hospitals receive and care for cases of infectious disease which cannot be dealt with properly in their own homes. Small-pox must be treated in a special hospital.\n\nThe staff consists of a Medical Supt. and Asst. Medical Supt., two House Surgeons, a Supt. of Nurses, a Dietitian and 30 Nurses.\n\n### Mortuary and Ambulance Division\n\nThe Mortuary requires no description.\n\nThe Ambulance Section of this Division deals with infectious cases only—transferring them to and from homes or hospitals to the Infectious Disease Hospital.\n\n### Food Control Division\n\nThis Division maintains supervision over—\n\n| Category | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | Municipal abattoirs and killing places. |\n| (b) | Sausage factories and pickle factories. |\n| (c) | Dairy farms, dairies, milk shops and ice cream manufactories. |\n| (d) | Soft beverage establishments. |\n| (e) | Restaurants and other eating places. |\n\nThis Division also carries out the general sanitary inspection of the foregoing places. It also inspects food in markets and retail shops such as butcher shops and grocery shops.\n\nThere are Veterinary Surgeons for the inspection of live meat and supervision of abattoirs and there are Veterinary Surgeons for the inspection of dairy farms.\n\nThis Division co-operates closely with the Laboratory Division.\n\nToronto receives milk from 2,500 dairy farms which in turn are supplied by 24,000 cows. There are some 1,500 milk stores in the City. Milk comes from as far distant as 140 miles. Dairy Farms are inspected once a quarter and dairies once a month.\n\nAll milk sold in Ontario is Pasteurised.\n\n### Sanitation Division\n\nThis Division is the organisation through which the department deals with nuisances. It also, through two special inspectors, deals with all the prosecutions of the Department.\n\nIn 1915 there were 28 full-time employees of this Division, viz.:-\n\n* Chief of Division and Deputy Chief.\n* General Sanitary Inspectors, each caring for one district.\n* Bake-shop Inspectors.\n* Restaurant Inspectors.\n\nInspections re-sanitation are made to Hotels, lodging houses, restaurants, laundries, bake-shops, candy shops, barber shops, body stables, and domestic premises. Municipal and Crown buildings are not inspected except on request.\n\nFactories are inspected with regard to their outside sanitation and freedom from nuisance.\n\nLicenses for Hotels, lodging houses, restaurants, bakehouses, confectioners, barber shops, laundries and living stables are not issued except under permit from the Health Department.\n\nThe Inspectors aim at inspecting each house in their district at least once a quarter; bake-shops, restaurants, confectioneries and laundries are inspected monthly.\n\nThe Sanitary Division co-operate closely with the housing division and brings to the notice of the latter any structural defects.\n\nThe duties of the P.H. Nurses also include:\n7. Co-operation with Social Welfare Units.\n8. Hospital-Out-patients.\n9. T.B. Clinics.\n10. Private Practitioners.\n\nThey give home instruction in Nursing, assist bed-side nursing in emergency, distribute sanitary supplies, refer cases to hospital, assist in securing the attention of social agencies, etc., etc.\n\nIn the Public Health Department, there is no division more important than the division of Public Health Nurses. It is no exaggeration to say that without the nurses the usefulness of the Department would be greatly lessened.\n\nA special group of 16 Public Health Nurses are responsible for the social service work of the hospital and institutions.\n\n### Quarantine and Preventible Disease Division\n\nThe Division deals with matters of communicable diseases control, isolation, quarantine, epidemiology. The Director of this Division also serves in the capacity of diagnostitian, his services being available to the profession for the purpose of aiding in diagnosis of communicable disease.",

        "content_text": "## \n\n12\n\npresumably, to the short school time given to that language, that they have to be specially prepared, sometimes for a year, for study in a Chinese University, should they elect that instead of Hong Kong University.\n\nSeventh, and perhaps worst of all, this \"one-path system\" serves the needs of a minority, those who do in fact wish to become University students, at the expense of the majority, who either have no such ambition or are unlikely, for one reason or another, to be able to realise it. They lack ability, perhaps, or at any rate that special kind of ability which succeeds in examinations; or their parents may become unable or unwilling to pay school fees after a time. In certain Government schools, where fees are doubled on the pupil's promotion from Class 4 to Class 8, that is, to the \"upper school,\" many leave on this account at the end of their year in Class 4, nearly always asking their Head Master for a written declaration that their education has been carried satisfactorily to this distance. Though here again it is true that the problem of the uncompleted course is not confined to Hong Kong, and in the nature of things is likely to be found anywhere where fees are charged and compulsion does not operate, yet it would be a great improvement if the work of the school could be so planned as to reduce considerably the numbers of the \"half-baked.\"\n\nThat the curriculum of the schools is sometimes ill-suited to the needs of the scholars is especially evident in the Colony's non-urban areas. Among the schools visited by the writer was one at Tai Long in the New Territories, and another at Cheung Chau on the island of that name. Both are Government schools. The former, in a completely rural area, gives the children a three years' English course under Chinese teachers. They begin to learn to read and write English—hardly to speak it, nor do they understand any but the simplest phrases when spoken to them. About half of them, perhaps, continue their education in other schools. The other half return to the villages to which they belong, and become engaged, like their ancestors before them for many generations, in the work of tilling the soil, an occupation not less valuable, on any broad view, than that of the clerk, the teacher, or the engineer. It is difficult to imagine of what use their smattering of English can be to them, though most of their time in this Government school will have been given to its acquisition.\n\nThe school at Cheung Chau serves the population of a large village or small town in which the only industry of any importance is fishing. A comment similar to that above is applicable.\n\nIt is often easier to point out defects in a system than to indicate practicable remedies. Some suggestions, believed by the writer to be practicable and of some value, will be offered later in this Report. Meanwhile, it must not be forgotten that there is a real and large demand for \"black-coated\" labour in Hong Kong (nearly one quarter of the males are so employed) and also that there is an insistent demand on the part of Chinese parents for their children to be taught English. A Government school in the City of Victoria which has hitherto taught English would soon be empty if it ceased to do so. There is, however, some evidence of over-production of clerks or would-be clerks. In a recent examination for appointments as Probationer Clerks in the Government Service, there were 470 candidates, of whom only 84 passed a preliminary test in dictation. And to a recent advertisement offering a post to a clerk with a knowledge of English, there were 140 replies in a few days. The fact that, when the Junior Technical School opened in February 1938, there were eleven applicants for every vacant place, is an encouraging indication that the Chinese themselves may be beginning to lose their age-long veneration for \"ink.\"\n\nThe educational system of the Colony, some of the chief features of which have been discussed above, could be improved in important respects. At present, it is fettered by an examination, and needs to be set free. This problem will be further dealt with in the next section. Besides that, the time-schedule of the system is wrong. The School Certificate should be an examination for boys and girls, not for young men and women. Of course, the fact that the examination, or most of it, is set entirely in a foreign language is a serious difficulty and is quite enough to account for some retardation as compared with England. But it does not preclude an earlier start with their English education, by those who want it, than is at present made by most of them—a welcome tendency towards this has already been noted. There is some evidence that the four or five years of school life which boys and girls have before they apply for admission to English schools (once more, the term means schools where the medium of instruction is English) are not used to as much advantage as they might be. It is not uncommon for a boy or girl of twelve to have learned, after perhaps five years in a Vernacular School, a little classical Chinese and very little else at all.\n\nLess than ten per cent of those entering the upper school, i.e., the three top classes, in one of the two big Government schools for boys, have hitherto passed Matriculation. This means that about five per cent of all entrants to the school have passed Matriculation; perhaps about three per cent have actually entered the University.\n\n## \n\n13\n\nThe Chinese are very far from being an unintelligent race, and in Hong Kong, their children by the age of twelve should have learned—it is believed that in many Chinese schools outside Hong Kong they have learned—to read and write their own language within appropriate limits, to perform simple calculations, preferably with the Arabic notation rather than with the abacus, and to understand something of the big world surrounding the little world which they knew well enough. Such an overhaul and speeding-up of vernacular primary education in Hong Kong would give the English schools a much better start than they have now. It is also desirable that the methods employed in selecting entrants to English schools, from the usually large number of candidates, should be reviewed in the light of educational practice and experience elsewhere. There is reason to think that the tests now in use do not always select the best candidates; they are of necessity, in so far as they are written tests, set and marked by Chinese teachers, with the result that the European Head Masters or Head Mistresses have no effective voice in the selection of their own recruits. The use of carefully planned intelligence tests, which the Vernacular Inspectors might be asked to draw up, would probably improve matters.\n\n### (4). THE SCHOOL CERTIFICATE EXAMINATION.\n\nThis examination is exercising, as already demonstrated, such a dominating influence on the schools of the Colony, that it deserves a note to itself. It is to be conducted by the University of Hong Kong; a summary of the Regulations issued by that body is set out in the Appendix. Up to 1932, the schools took the Cambridge Junior Local Examination in Class 2, the penultimate year of school life, and Matriculation in Class 1. In that year, it was decided to abolish the Junior Local, which accordingly was not held in 1933, and to substitute for the Senior Local (Matriculation) a School Certificate Examination. There was no Matriculation in 1934. After some discussion, it was settled that, under certain conditions, the School Certificate should admit to the University.\n\nThis change was the result of a demand from the schools, and the task of conducting the new examination was undertaken by the University with some reluctance. The advocates of reform wished to increase the range of the final examination, so as to make it include what one of them described as \"the seven basic subjects of a good general education, viz.: English, Chinese, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, History, and Geography,\" with a pass mark compulsory in each. At the same time, they wished to divorce the examination entirely from Matriculation, which they would have postponed for a year, and to reduce the syllabus in each subject, since they regarded the then existing syllabuses as too heavy.\n\nIt is evident that they have not got all that they asked for. The Certificate Examination is not entirely divorced from Matriculation, and the examination as a whole still appears a very formidable task. It has to be remembered that in four groups out of five, papers are set, and answers have to be written, in English. The minimum number of papers is nine, the maximum twelve. The examination is to take place in June, a month when humidity and high temperatures combine to make the climate very trying.\n\nThe task is certainly formidable enough, nor are the Regulations beyond criticism. For example, in Group V, candidates may offer only two out of the three subjects. This means in practice that most of the schools conducted by religious bodies—i.e., most of the Grant-Aided schools, regarding Biblical knowledge as a subject in which their pupils must be examined—omit either History or Geography; the consequences have already been commented upon in this Report. Again, in Physics, a pupil may pass either without showing any knowledge of electricity and magnetism, or without showing any knowledge of heat, light, and sound. In English, a candidate must pass either in English Grammar, including parts of speech, parsing, analysis, and explanation of idioms, or in knowledge of certain prescribed portions of English literature—*A Midsummer Night's Dream* being one of the choices.\n\nWhat this learning has sometimes amounted to appears from the following information given to the writer by the Principal of the Junior Technical School, which was opened as recently as 1933:—\"During the first two years of the course, many applicants of 13 years of age were found who could read Chinese newspapers, i.e., name all the ideographs correctly, without having any knowledge of the meaning. They were inclined to feel that asking them to explain the meaning was unfair, as only after a certain number of years in which they learned the ideographs parrot-wise would they be told their meaning.\"\n\n\"Some,\" it is added, \"do not know the Arabic numerals.\" How is a Chinese boy to \"explain\" in English the English idiomatic expression \"there is nothing the matter with him\"?\n\n## \n\n69",

They lack ability, perhaps, or at any rate that special kind of ability which succeeds in examinations; or their parents may become unable or unwilling to pay school fees after a time. In certain Government schools, where fees are doubled on the pupil's promotion from Class 4 to Class 3, that is, to the \"upper school,\" many leave on this account at the end of their year in Class 4, nearly always asking their Head Master for a written declaration that their education has been carried satisfactorily to this distance. Though here again it is true that the problem of the uncompleted course is not confined to Hong Kong, and in the nature of things is likely to be found anywhere where fees are charged and compulsion does not operate, yet it would be a great improvement if the work of the school could be so planned as to reduce considerably the numbers of the \"half-baked.\"\n\nThat the curriculum of the schools is sometimes ill-suited to the needs of the scholars is especially evident in the Colony's non-urban areas. Among the schools visited by the writer was one at Un Long in the New Territories, and another at Cheung Chau on the island of that name. Both are Government schools. The former, in a completely rural area, gives the children a three years English course under Chinese teachers. They begin to learn to read and write English, hardly to speak it, nor do they understand any but the simplest phrases when spoken to them. About half of them, perhaps, continue their education in other schools. The other half return to the villages to which they belong, and become engaged, like their ancestors before them for many generations, in the work of tilling the soil, an occupation not less valuable, on any broad view, than that of the clerk, the teacher, or the engineer. It is difficult to imagine of what use their smattering of English can be to them, though most of their time in this Government school will have been given to its acquisition.\n\nThe school at Cheung Chau serves the population of a large village or small town in which the only industry of any importance is fishing. A comment similar to that above is applicable.\n\nIt is often easier to point out defects in a system than to indicate practicable remedies. Some suggestions, believed by the writer to be practicable and of some value, will be offered later in this Report. Meanwhile it must not be forgotten that there is a real and large demand for \"black-coated\" labour in Hong Kong (nearly one quarter of the males are so employed) and also that there is an insistent demand on the part of Chinese parents for their children to be taught English. A Government school in the City of Victoria which has hitherto taught English would soon be empty if it ceased to do so. There is, however, some evidence of over-production of clerks or would-be clerks. In a recent examination for appointments as Probationer Clerks in the Government Service, there were 470 candidates, of whom only 84 passed a preliminary test in dictation. And to a recent advertisement offering a post to a clerk with a knowledge of English there were 140 replies in a few days. The fact that, when the Junior Technical School opened in February 1933, there were eleven applicants for every vacant place, is an encouraging indication that the Chinese themselves may be beginning to lose their age-long veneration for ink.\n\nThe educational system of the Colony, some of the chief features of which have been discussed above, could be improved in important respects. At present it is fettered by an examination, and needs to be set free. This problem will be further dealt with in the next section. Besides that, the time-schedule of the system is wrong. The School Certificate should be an examination for boys and girls, not for young men and women. Of course, the fact that the examination, or most of it, is set entirely in a foreign language is a serious difficulty and is quite enough to account for some retardation as compared with England. But it does not preclude an earlier start with their English education, by those who want it, than is at present made by most of them; a welcome tendency towards this has already been noted. There is some evidence that the four or five years of school life which boys and girls have before they apply for admission to English schools (once more, the term means schools where the medium of instruction is English) are not used to as much advantage as they might be. It is not uncommon for a boy or girl of twelve to have learned, after perhaps five years in a Vernacular School, a little classical Chinese and very little else at all.\n\nLess than ten per cent. of those entering the upper school, i.e., the three top classes, in one of the two big Government schools for boys, have hitherto passed Matriculation. This means that about five per cent. of all entrants to the school have passed Matriculation; perhaps about three per cent. have actually entered the University.\n\nThe Chinese are very far from being an unintelligent race, and in Hong Kong their children by the age of twelve should have learned—it is believed that in many Chinese schools outside Hong Kong they have learned—to read and write their own language within appropriate limits, to perform simple calculations, preferably with the Arabic notation rather than with the abacus, and to understand something of the big world surrounding the little world which they knew well enough. Such an overhaul and speeding-up of vernacular primary education in Hong Kong would give the English schools a much better start than they have now. It is also desirable that the methods employed in selecting entrants to English schools, from the usually large number of candidates, should be reviewed in the light of educational practice and experience elsewhere. There is reason to think that the tests now in use do not always select the best candidates; they are of necessity, in so far as they are written tests, set and marked by Chinese teachers, with the result that the European Head Masters or Head Mistresses have no effective voice in the selection of their own recruits. The use of carefully planned intelligence tests, which the Vernacular Inspectors might be asked to draw up, would probably improve matters.\n\n### (4). THE SCHOOL CERTIFICATE EXAMINATION\n\nThis examination is exercising, as already demonstrated, such a dominating influence on the schools of the Colony, that it deserves a note to itself. It is to be conducted by the University of Hong Kong: the Regulations issued by that body are set out in the Appendix. Up to 1932 the schools took the Cambridge Junior Local Examination in Class 2, the penultimate year of school life, and Matriculation in Class 1. In that year it was decided to abolish the Junior Local, which accordingly was not held in 1933, and to substitute for the Senior Local (Matriculation) the School Certificate Examination. There was no Matriculation in 1934. After some discussion it was settled that, under certain conditions, the School Certificate should admit to the University.\n\nThis change was the result of a demand from the schools, and the task of conducting the new examination was undertaken by the University with some reluctance. The advocates of reform wished to increase the range of the final examination, so as to make it include what one of them described as the seven basic subjects of a good general education, viz.: English, Chinese, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, History, and Geography, with a pass mark compulsory in each. At the same time they wished to divorce the examination entirely from Matriculation, which they would have postponed for a year, and to reduce the syllabus in each subject, since they regarded the then existing syllabuses as too heavy.\n\nIt is evident that they have not got all that they asked for. The Certificate Examination is not entirely divorced from Matriculation, and the examination as a whole still appears a very formidable task. It has to be remembered that in four groups out of five papers are set, and answers have to be written, in English. The minimum number of papers is nine, the maximum twelve. The examination is to take place in June, a month when humidity and high temperatures combine to make the climate very trying.\n\nThe task is certainly formidable enough, nor are the Regulations beyond criticism. For example, in Group V candidates may offer only two out of the three subjects. This means in practice that most of the schools conducted by religious bodies—i.e., most of the Grant-Aided schools, regarding Biblical knowledge as a subject in which their pupils must be examined—omit either History or Geography; the consequences have already been commented upon in this Report. Again, in Physics a pupil may pass either without showing any knowledge of electricity and magnetism, or without showing any knowledge of heat, light, and sound. In English, a candidate must pass either in English Grammar, including parts of speech, parsing, analysis, and explanation of idioms, or in knowledge of certain prescribed portions of English literature—*A Midsummer Night's Dream* being one of the choices.\n\nWhat this learning has sometimes amounted to appears from the following information given to the writer by the Principal of the Junior Technical School, which was opened as recently as 1933:—\"During the first two years of the course many applicants of 13 years of age were found who could read a Chinese newspaper, i.e., name all the ideographs correctly, without having any knowledge of the meaning. They were inclined to feel that asking them to explain the meaning was unfair, as only after a certain number of years in which they learned the ideographs parrot-wise would they be told their meaning.\"\n\n\"Some,\" it is added, \"do not know the Arabic numerals.\"\n\nHow is a Chinese boy to \"explain\" in English the English idiomatic expression \"there is nothing the matter with him\"?",

        "content_text": "Grasses\n\n95\n\nAt that account. This grass was first found at Hythe in England in 1870. It has since spread rapidly along the South coast and has invaded the Normandy coast of France. It was thought at first to be a foreign invader—but this is now disbelieved. Cytological evidence shows that it has no less than 126 chromosomes. So that possibly hybridisation and doubling of the chromosomes may account for this useful arrival. My first acquaintance with it was in 1918 from Carey and Oliver's \"Tidal Lands.\" At the time I was in Hong Kong and was anxious to have the grass tried experimentally on those terrible inter-tidal mud flats which disfigure so much of the sea coast in the New Territory. I then failed but I hope to try again. Its speed of growth and usefulness in reclaiming salt-marshes and mud swamps have made this grass a godsend, and now Mrs. Arber gives a glowing account of its beauty in the Baie des Veys on the French coast. Who knows but if it were transplanted to the mud flats of the Canton River it might become more polyploid still and not only transfigure the landscape there but return to us as a beneficial emigrant like Timothy.\n\nIt would be sheer impertinence on our part to attempt to criticise this book. Its format, its printing, and Mrs. Arber's delicate illustrations make it a perfect pleasure to read. Almost 500 pages of highly technical English terms, as well as hosts of botanical names, generic and specific without, as far as we could see, a single error, throw a lustre on the Cambridge University Press and all concerned in its production. True, we might pick a crow with Mrs. Arber about some of her terms, but we know we could only expect a few quills. Mrs. Arber is painfully fastidious about her terminology, as witness her notes on the spelling of gynæcium and andrœcium, but yet she writes caryopses as the plural of caryopsis. We doubt it has classical justification, but it is not sanctioned by the S.O.E.D. Again, she writes 'stomates'—possibly an early form. This, too, is not sanctioned by the S.O.E.D.; for though it gives the singular 'stomate,' it distinctly states that this is the singular of 'stomata.' She has monantochloë—possibly the original form. But 'anthos,' not 'antos,' is the Greek for a flower: but even if Linnaeus himself or Darwin made the mistake originally that is no reason why it should be followed now. In another place she writes, 'the twist of the column is dextral.' Now here, though Mrs. Arber has the S.O.E.D. with her, we cannot agree. An old mathematical master at school never tired of telling us, of motion in a circle or a spiral you can never say left or right, sinistral or dextral: you must always say clockwise and contraclockwise.\n\nWhen I read the account of the twist in the awn of avena, anthoxanthum, stipa, and danthonia I took out specimens of the plants to see if the direction of the twist was constant. Mrs. Arber offers no explanation of the direction or constancy. As a few of my specimens were from Natal my interest naturally turned to them to see if the twist was in the opposite direction (for Marie Stopes' baby would kick itself round so as to have its head pointing to the South pole if it was born south of the Equator). But they were all alike. But is there unfailing constancy of twist? Mrs. Arber quotes from Percival, apparently with approval, the\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n22",

The number of second children had also increased during recent years.\n\n\"If young parents prefer pleasure to perambulators and cars to cradles,\" Dr. Kershaw writes,\n\n16 we should expect to find a decrease in the number of first children, since once the first baby has arrived a life of pleasure is seriously hampered.\n\n\"It is in the third and subsequent children that the decrease has been steadily progressing during the last dozen years.\n\n\"If these figures mean anything, they mean that women are as ready as ever to become mothers, but that they are unable to afford a large family.\n\n\"Parents are still courageous. It is fear for the child's future and not for her own comfort that deters a woman from continuing to bear children.\n\n'Until she is relieved of this fear, it is futile to mouth well-meaning but empty phrases about duty to the State.'\n\nYour Own Opinion.\n\n(\n\nI do not think the writer of the article on empty cradles worked out how a mother with only £2 a week coming in can provide for a newcomer without robbing those she has already.\n\nI have two big and healthy children, and I have just had another in Crumpsall Hospital.\n\nI borrowed £2 for a second-hand layette for my new babe, expecting to\n\nOctober, 1937\n\nreceive £2 maternity money, and now I am informed by the Post Office that I am not entitled to draw any.\n\nI have drawn just 24s. 6d. in money and I have put ninety 1s. 2d. stamps on my cards, expecting it now my babe is here. I have no money to buy even a second-hand pram, nor anything to pay back what I borrowed for the layette. Then we have to read articles on why there are not more children!\n\nD.

If they do they must leave the house.\n\nThe identity of the couple is being kept secret, but the matter has aroused tremendous indignation and is being investigated by the Aberdeen House Proprietors' and Factors' Association.\n\nThe clergy have taken strong objection to the landlord's ruling, and steps may be taken to have the whole case officially reviewed.\n\nInvestigations have revealed that although it is seldom a factor makes the stipulation so definite many young couples have been given houses, but told when they take over that no children were wanted.\n\n\"There is no A young wife said: doubt that many young couples are afraid to have families for fear they are put out of their house.\"\n\nMEDICAL HELP\n\nON\n\nBIRTH CONTROL\n\nBY\n\nHAROLD CHAPPLE, M.C.\n\nSIR JOHN COCKBURN, K.C.M.G., M.D. SIR W.

Adolphe Landry, a large number of speakers from different countries assembled to listen to a wide range of theoretical papers. The\n\nHere, if anywhere,\" she says subject arousing most discussion and indignantly, \"it is needed.\n\nit is needed.

In every 100 people there were now 23 under 15 and 12 over 60. In thirty years' time the figures would be 10 and 24, and in sixty years 4 and 45.\n\nThe infant mortality had been halved and the expectation of life at birth had gone up since the middle of last century, from thirty-nine to fifty-nine years.\n\nIt was not that the late middle-aged people were now living to be older, but that the young were not dying. If the present trend was followed there would by 1941 no longer be any excess of births over deaths.\n\n'They would like to know how to stop, having children; the prison officials would like them to. I would like to tell them. But none of us is the Home Office will not even listen to able to do anything about it, because\n\nargument on the subject.\"\n\nNot \"Three Score Years and Ten.\"\n\nC\n\nThe child born in this century can hope on the average for thirty more years of life than his ancestor in the fourth century and twelve more years than if he had lived 200 years ago,\" said Professor D. Burns, speaking at the British Association.\n\nCC\n\nMore and more people of all ages are being protected against natural death, and the proportion of people unfitted for life's struggle is increasing, especially in the more sheltered classes, and they are likely to fall victims to any sudden physical or mental crisis. That explains why the average expectation of life of the male of 65 is less to-day than it was at the beginning of the Christian Era.\n\nTHE C.B.C.

The societies sell at market price, and after paying normal expenses and a fixed rate of interest on share capital, the remainder of the profit is distributed half-yearly to the consumers as a dividend, proportionate to the amount of his or her purchases. A consumer of small means, who could otherwise not afford to put anything aside, will by this arrangement find himself in possession of a sum every six months which he can either spend or allow to accumulate up to the limit of £200. The capital held by the retail societies amounts to £128,000,000, and of this vast sum sixty per cent is believed to represent accumulated dividend.\n\nThe present membership of the co-operative societies in Britain is well over 8,000,000 and their retail sales annually exceed £250,000,000. One-third of all wheat imported into the country is milled by them, and they bake one-fifth of all the bread consumed in Britain.\n\nIt is not only as retailers that the societies flourish; while keeping the ideal of a co-operative commonwealth as their aim, they have entered the field of production, and the movement now acts as wholesale merchants, bankers and manufacturers; it imports raw materials, owns plantations, and runs its own ships.\n\nTrue to the ideals of Robert Owen, the societies offer their members food for mind and spirit as well as for their bodies. They have been largely instrumental in bridging the gap between the workers and the universities, and they spend £300,000 a year on various forms of education, scholarships, study groups, etc. They have holiday clubs, musical and literary clubs, men's and women's guilds, and they were among the first bodies in Britain to provide free libraries.",

He was also able to take some of the Japanese Medical Authorities to the camp and obtain their approval for the despatch of certain medical supplies, bedding, cooking utensils, etc. He could never get sufficient of these essential items, but all that was available was sent to the camp.\n\nIn the months immediately following the internment of civilians at Stanley, he was fortunate in having the services of the American and British truck drivers and these he used for the transfer of all available supplies to Stanley. In addition to the daily visits of these men, he also made almost daily visits in the first few months and had he not done so, conditions in the camp might have been unbearable, to say the least.\n\nUnder the guise of supplying the hospitals with bread, he obtained from the Japanese Medical Authorities a sufficient supply of flour for the purpose of making a little bread for the Stanley hospital and civilian internees. It was months before flour was supplied in bulk to the internees or that they were able to bake their own bread, and the small quantity furnished by Dr. Selwyn-Clarke was therefore of such great importance. In addition, the food being supplied to the camp at that time was both grossly insufficient and of very poor quality. When it was no longer possible to recover general supplies for transfer to Stanley, the American Red Cross came to our aid with funds, and supplies were purchased on his advice.\n\nIn the early days he tried without success to arrange for the opening of a local branch of the I.R.C. When this failed, he obtained permission for the opening of the so-called Informal Hong Kong Welfare Committee. This Committee consisted of himself, Mr. Gibson (until he was repatriated with the Americans), and Mrs. Selwyn-Clarke and was really only a name under which he could carry on without too much interference. It appeared to satisfy the Japanese until the end of 1942 when they eventually ordered it to be closed.\n\nIn\n\nThere were a number of permanently sick persons who were either too ill or too old for transfer to Stanley and these he managed to keep at the French Hospital. In addition, he arranged for some 20 other elderly patients, who were taking up valuable space in the small and badly equipped hospital at Stanley, to be transferred to the French Hospital. There was always the danger that the Japanese would at any time insist on the transfer of these patients to Stanley, and for that reason, he was against inviting too much attention to this hospital by asking for funds for its maintenance. In the early days, the American Red Cross generously allowed funds for this purpose, and later the expenses were paid from our own funds. The staff required for the patients at this hospital was 1 British doctor, 1 Irish, 1 Swiss, 1 Eurasian, and 5 Chinese nurses, 4 boys, 4 amahs, 3 store coolies, 1 radiographer, 2 clerks, 1 watchman, 2 telephone operators, 1 cook, and 2 assistant cooks. Food to the extent of rice, flour, oil, and sometimes sugar or salt was supplied by the Japanese, but it was necessary to supplement this small diet by purchases from the markets. Medicines were also purchased from funds available.\n\nA great deal of trouble was caused when arrangements had to be made for the temporary transfer to the French Hospital of Stanley patients requiring X-ray examination. These transfers, which were mainly of two or three patients at one time, required approval of both the Japanese Medical and\n\nForeign",

        "content_text": "## No header found for this text, proceeding with the content directly\n\nHongkong has now been thrown open to private trade, though there are still limitations upon that trade. It is not easy to forecast the speed and volume of private supplies which will result, nor is it simple to gauge the final effect upon the Young and the Brett supplies. There is however a more immediate problem, namely the distribution of supplies which are in the offing and which may be expected to flow through Government channels to Civil Affairs in the next three months. The distribution of these supplies is visualised as being co-ordinated with some form of price fixation. If the two were not combined a serious part of the value of these stores would be lost. Prices in Hongkong dollars have registered a steady decline; but there are still hundreds of price levels which are absurd - some of these being the prices charged for services. A concerted attack upon the cost of living must be launched as soon as supplies are in hand. This may best be achieved by the controlled sale of goods through existing distributive systems, this department acting as the wholesalers, and charging a small sum for the service rendered.\n\nDuring the past three months land and water transport has been coping with ever increasing traffic with inadequate and depreciated equipment. The arrival of the Transport Company will do much to speed up the work of rehabilitation. The transport of foodstuffs by water necessitated the bringing into commission of all small vessels capable of sailing on the waters. Some of these were ex-Japanese craft which, according to the surrender agreement, will be handed back to the Chinese Government. Meantime they have been used for immediate food-needs. Many questions relating to the surveying, charter-hire and repair of these vessels are outstanding, and it may be some time before they are finally settled. It is highly desirable for all private dock and godown companies to get back to a normal commercial basis of working as soon as possible. Ferries badly require repair and reconditioning, as overloaded transport of this nature can be dangerous. The lack of an adequate number of ship surveyors has caused some concern.\n\nSince the re-occupation, a number of factories or industries have begun to operate. These include printing, soap, rattan ware, tanneries, flour and rice mills, building lime, matches, paints, rubber and canvas shoes, native boats, nails and bakeries. Recently a scheme to bake and distribute bread was introduced, and bread is now on sale at fifty cents a pound. The shops in the scheme report that all bread is sold within an hour. As soon as greater stocks of flour are in sight the scheme will be broadened. Two months ago bread was reported on sale at over six dollars a pound. Rice has been sold at an uneconomic level for economic purposes.\n\nCertain stocks of raw materials have been requisitioned from the Custodian of Enemy Property. These are being sold to factories at replacement c.i.f. cost plus charges or at 1941 prices plus a reasonable percentage. Gradually the wheels will begin to turn. Rehabilitation of the heavier industries, such as dockyards, iron foundries, will be delayed as war damage, in some cases, is extensive. The cotton textile industry is at a standstill because of the lack of raw material. The weaving and knitting machines are in good order and can operate as soon as yarn is available. In the future there may be room for a spinning mill in Hongkong to process raw cotton into yarn, for local and export needs.\n\nA creditable amount of relief work has been carried out and over 23,000 meals are issued daily to the destitute. Need is the only qualification for receipt.",
