I've kept it as \"Strucking (?)\" to indicate uncertainty.\n3. \"Ladether\" doesn't make sense; it might be \"permission\" or another word related to the context, but it's not clear. The correct word seems to be missing or misrecognized.\n4. \"کا\" doesn't seem to be relevant or correctly recognized; it might be a stray character or a misrecognition.\n5. \"Por O Shamer\" is likely \"French Mail\" or another shipping line, but the correct expansion is \"for the 'Express of China'\" and \"returning hither by the French Mail.\"\n6. \"The Ave & IM OBuin (98, Clint Seculary\" is interpreted as \"The Honble & Revd J. C.

Backing and support are coming from all quarters, including reasonable ones.\n\nThe whole question is whether the scheme should be considered in the first instance by Cav. Pescao and encouraged. Surveys have been made and money has been spent on them.\n\nHere also I differ from Mr. Robson. The letters from the Col. Sect's office, especially that of October 29th, give encouragement to spending money. If Cav. Pescao's proposals are always rejected because of wild objections to the tunnel, he will have grievance and normally would be released to take up schemes for development in future. People would have slackened their broad regular schemes for development.\n\nRather, it appears that the Cavaline has returned to Hongkong. He will therefore be able to push schemes for consideration himself.\n\nPage 347 \n\nWhether to C.D. or not.",

The Colony will then be faced with a very nice little sum to pay as compensation for breach of the Contract.\n\nIn the circumstances, I think it would be wrong to reject the Mayor's proposals deeply influenced by the militancy in either case, and doesn't come readily to the fore if the Council follows Mr. Appar's proposal for a 3-year contract signed on the 12th July. It cannot be \"excluded from\" the matter; despatch daily reports from both cities. Shall we might, in what Mr. Leslie brought up?\n\nThe farm is let for a longer period if necessary, and we should write explaining why, saying that the farm should be let for one year only. I think that we might suggest to the Government the question of establishing a sort of monopoly.\n\nI am afraid that the cost of the preventive staff would be prohibitive. The daily movement of Chinese between Hong Kong and China is something like 4,000 people.\n\nThe farmer will have to recoup himself in one year for his capital expenditure, instead of spreading the repayment over a longer term. Mr. ... said that if the farm is let, it is unavoidable.\n\nI do not, myself, understand why the argument at the end of Mr. Robson's minute (it is not familiar to me) is sound. The farmer can pay, and still make a profit. The Government preventive staff can't.\n\nI think an effort should be made to introduce the Straits system. If necessary, we might lend their officer to start it. Also, it is worth considering whether it might be possible to prohibit all preparation of opium in the Colony and get the opium ready prepared from Singapore.\n\nIn any case, the Valegra...\n\nPage ...\n\n...",

Robson, the agent of Towkay Loke Yew, C.M.G., when passing through Hongkong informed me that Loke Yew desired to lend the University of Hongkong a sum of $500,000 without interest for a period of twenty-one years.\n\n2\\. On his return to Kuala Lumpur Mr. Robson saw Loke Yew to whom he expressed the grateful thanks of the University and a telegram was received on the 29th May from Loke Yew to the effect that the money would be paid at the end of June. The Vice-Chancellor, Sir Charles Eliot, announced this splendid benefaction on the occasion of conferring degrees on the 1st June, but as the letter containing the actual terms on which the money is to be lent has not yet arrived, though it is daily expected, he merely stated that the loan was for a term of years.\n\n3\\. I will report later on the manner in which it is proposed to administer the benefaction, but I am taking the earliest opportunity of acquainting you with this further instance of Loke Yew's generosity towards the University of Hong Kong, which he fully realises is doing a great work for his native province of Kwangtung.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient,\nhumble servant,\n\nGOVERNOR, &C.\n\ngratification with which the S. of S. has learnt of this generous benefaction.

June, 1915.\n\nSir Francis May, K.C.M.G.,  \nChancellor, Hongkong University,  \nHongkong.\n\nIn continuation of a conversation Mr. Robson had with yourself and the then Colonial Secretary in April and my telegram of 29th May, 1915, I have the honour to inform you that I shall have much pleasure in lending the sum of five hundred thousand dollars (Hongkong Currency) to the Hongkong University for a period of twenty-one years.\n\n2. This money is lent to the University to invest at the discretion of the Council and the income derived from such investment (or investments) is to be used as part of the general income of the University devoted to educational purposes and not set aside for capital expenditure.\n\n3. From the income derived from this $500,000 I would ask, if the Council is willing, to establish four Loke Yew Scholarships open to Chinese youths from the Straits Settlements and the Federated Malay States. My idea is to provide free tuition, board, lodging, etc. for two boys from the Straits Settlements and two from the Federated Malay States whose relatives are too poor to bear the necessary expenditure.\n\n4. If you agree perhaps the Council would be good enough to outline a scheme for my guidance in nominating youths for these scholarships. I have no doubt I can obtain the assistance of the local educational department in selecting good and worthy scholars.\n\n5. The actual money will be available in Hongkong towards the end of June, but it will be advisable to have an agreement prepared and I should be glad if you will prepare a draft of such agreement in order that I may submit it to my lawyer here or in Hongkong.\n\n6. I think the draft had better come from you as there may be some point requiring consideration which has not occurred to me.\n\nI have etc.,  \n(Ed.) Loke Yew.",

I desire to express my thanks to the Commissioners for their valuable work, with its resultant addition of no inconsiderable force for service with His Majesty's Armies; work which has, to my personal knowledge, involved much patient labour.\n\n3. With reference to paragraph 8 of the report I propose shortly to make a pronouncement in the Legislative Council regarding the subject of Military Service in relation to this Colony.\n\n4. The report will be published in the Gazette of the 4th May, a copy will be forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Colonies forthwith, and copies will be laid upon the table of the Legislative Council at its next meeting.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\n(Sd.)\n\nF.

Slitrig Crescent, Hawick, to AGNES ROBSON, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.

Vickers, a few months ago, has undergone an operation for appendicitis since his return to England.\n\nThe late Admiral Sir James Andrew Thomas Bruce, K.C.M.G. (75), who saw service in Nigeria and was second in command in China at the time of the Boxer outbreak, formerly A.D.C. to Queen Victoria, left estate of the gross value of £20,957.\n\nAfter a full day's proceedings, investigation of the charge against J. G. Gardiner, alleged to have stolen 50 barrels of cement, the property of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, was completed at H.M. Police Court at Shanghai, on Aug. 24th, before Mr. G. W. King, when the defendant was discharged.\n\nCertain Chinese now in London, says a London paper, are demanding that the value of two sacred golden bells taken from the Temple of Heaven in Peking during the Boxer rising shall be restored to the temple authorities. It is stated that the bells were found under piles of rubbish, and that one of them was taken by British troops to Delhi and there melted down, the gold being sold for £25,000. The interested Chinese now point to the special clause in the Versailles Treaty whereby the ancient astronomical instruments looted by the Germans during the capture of Peking were returned to China, and demand that the sacred bells, or their value, shall also be restored to the Temple of Heaven.\n\nHONGKONG.\n\nOwing to the recent heavy rains the road from Laichikok to Castle Peak is closed.\n\nIt has been decided to admit women to Hongkong University and the first girl student has already been registered.\n\nMr. Percy Smith, who has been taking the waters at Marienbad, is expected to return to Hongkong in the middle of October.\n\nMr. B.

From the nature of the case it is practically impossible to arrive at a correct estimate of the Chinese birth rate.\n\nThe total number of deaths was 14,991 and the general civilian death rate was 19.05 per 1,000. Of this total there were 14,735 Chinese and 241 non-Chinese civilians and the death rate was respectively 19.12 and 14.6 per 1,000.\n\nInfantile mortality.-Among infants of one month or less, 10 non-Chinese and 847 Chinese, died. Of those infants who were more than a month old but less than a year, 30 non-Chinese and 3,824 Chinese died. The total number of children who died at the age of a year or less was therefore 40 non-Chinese and 4,671 Chinese. These figures are derived from reliable statistics because the registration of deaths is compulsory, but as births are not registered in every case the Chinese birth rate given above is not accurate.

There had been some uncertainty as to his identity (vide Nos.90 and 102) but this has been cleared up. I told him that I asked advice from M.V.T. (Broadley, tel.ext.2348) seeing that Merchant Navy personnel were compensated for loss or personal effects through scuttling of their ships, but they could not assist as this is clearly a case for the Hong Kong Govt. who were responsible for the entire \"Cornflower\" expenditure. I therefore told Mr.P.that, in view of our general attitude to losses through enemy action, the claim could only be registered and that I was replying to Admiralty in this sense.

There is also no explanation why Mr. Stapleton and Mr. Smith are omitted from the (a) NOW list.\n\nIt would appear therefore that Charge Allowance and Oversea Allowance have been manipulated in order to legalise the amount now being paid over and above the amounts authorised by Section 10 of the Code. Sections 10 and 11 state definite rates and make no mention of sliding scales. Nowhere is it stated that amounts up to a maximum can be paid, but as will be seen in lists (a) and (b), the teachers receive varying amounts.\n\nIt would have been much more satisfactory when it had been decided that, in addition to the Burnham Scale, Charge and Oversea Allowances should be paid in order to bring salaries up to the present levels, if transitory provisions had been made for teachers in service who were receiving more than the Burnham Scale. I regret that I did not appreciate this point when the non-African Sub-Committee was examining the amended Code.\n\nI do not know whether the Treasury will insist upon a Code amendment being made before they allow the amounts, but even if they do not, I suggest that the position be clarified in a further Code amendment.\n\nto Harrison\n\n26. 3.47.\n\nMr. Robson.\n\nPage 1\n\n...\n\nPage 6\n\nJ.
