Sir, The vast importance of the Chinese Tariff requires that it should be reduced to English weights, measures, and monies, for the use of British merchants, and not having yet observed that this has beca done, I beg to trouble yon with such s table, toge- ther with a few observations upon the standard to be observed. \n\nThe definition and determination of the Chinese tael is ex- preased in several different ways. 1st. It has been generally in England taken to be one third of the pound sterling, or Gs. 8d., or 80 pence, making the mace its 10th, S., and the caudareen its 100th part, 8-10ths of a penny. This simple relation to our own money would be a great advantage to English merchants if it were fully established, but some, as Beawes, make the candareen Ed., reducing the tael to 62. 3d. \n\n2ndly. It is now, however, for the most part compared with the Spanish dollar. Thus the latest and perhaps the highest sathority, that of Mr. Pope, in the Yearly Journal of Trade for 1843, states 72 taels to be equivalent to 100 dollars. The Spanish dollar is commonly estimated at 4s. Gd., but her Majesty's proclu- mation (Yearly Journal of Trada, 1840, p. 391), issued for the West Indies, makes it equivalent to 48. 2d. The tael, therefore, will be 6s. 3d, if we take the former, and 58. 94d. if the latter, for our guide. \n\n3rdly. It was originally compared with the Chinese silver coin called mace, and their copper coin called cash, but the mase has been long disused; 1000 cash were once equivalent to one fuel, but the depreciation of these coins by deterioration of the metal and reduction of their weight, so amply illustrated in the highly interesting and most authentic work of Mr. Davis, has now rendered the tael equal to a much greater number of cash. By Sir Henry Pottinger's Hong Kong proclamation of the 29th of March, 1842, 1200 of them are declared equal to one dollar. In weight I have found them vary from about 85 graina troy to twice as much. Du Halde says that the French sou is equivalent to the 100th part of the tael, that is to the caudareen, and also that it is equal to 6 cash, instead of 10. \n\n4thly. The Chinese tael is a weight, and has its value expressed by European weights, either avoirdupois or troy, and this is the truest mode of determining its equivalent in fine silver, seeing that the references to English money do not agree, that dollars differ materially in value, and that the Chinese cash are still more different from each other in their weight and quality. Measra. Gordon and Crawfurd, in their admirable treatise upon Chinese commerce, give a table stating the tacl is equal to 1 1-3 ounce avoirdupois, or 579.84 grains troy. These, unfortunately, do not agree neither, for 1 1-3 oz. avoirdupois contains 437.5 and 145.8 1-3 grs., or 583.3 1-3 grs, troy, and not 579.84. Again, Beawez in his \"Lex Mercatoria,\" states that the tael was 1 oz. 2 dr., of course troy weight, which in 480 and 120, or 600 grains. The editor of \"Mortimer's Commercial Dictionary,\" in his “Universal Commerce,\" p. 64, says 100 taels should weigh 120 oz. 10 dwts. troy, or 57840 grs., or the single tael 5734, which is less than any of the above. He says, also, that 100 Spanish dollars should weigh 68 13 dwts.; that is, 42,552 grs., of which we take the 72nd part, according to Mr. Pope, the tael comes out 591 grs. Now, 16 taels make a catty, and 100 catties a pecul; all autho- rities, I believe, concur in making the pecul 133 1-3 ib. avoirdu- pois, or the catty I 1-3 B., for which reason I prefer taking the tael as 1 1-3 oz., or 183 1-3 grs. The English crown piece, or N. is so nearly an avoirdupois ounce that if we could make this the standard the tael would come out as at first 5a, and 20d., or 6s. 8d., or 80d.; but in China all silver coin is taken as bullion, and the duties of course will be paid in fullion. The real value of the tael must, therefore, be sought in the market price of stan- dard silver. This, at the present time, I find to bo da. 1110. per ounce troy, which is almost exactly 48. 6d, the ouuoo avoirdupois, or 6s. the tacl; and I have accordingly made this my standard in the following table, wherein I have reduced the Tariff to English weights and monies. I prefer this to taking the market price of the dollar, whether Mexican or Spanish, new or pillar, and using the multiplier 1,204, because I consider that the term \"syees” means \"perfectly pure.\" This word I believe to be originally Chinese, although the characters used by the Chinese to express it do not indicate its proper etymology. I have no doubt that it was originally, in the orthoepy of Morrison, \"tsuh sih,\" or \"full quality;\" but the characters commonly used for it mean \"fine silk,\" expressive of what minoralogists would call it's \"lustre sating.\"* \n\nI cannot conclude without suggesting that, at the present low price of copper, 1000 tona, costing 70,000Z. or 80,0007., might advantageously be coined into Chinese cash, weighing each a 1-3 gra. This would greatly relieve the distress of the neighbourhood of Swansea, and supply Hong Kong and the Chinese with a good currency during the present and the next generation; for, if neatly executed, it would be universally coveted and hearded up in abundance, and would be a good payment for tea, instead of opium. On one side of the coin I would have the words \"Victoria Regina,\" and on the other, as usual, “perforated token,\" with \"Iong Kong\" instead of the Emperor's name. \n\nBristol, Oct. 14. \n\nI am, Sir, your obedient servant, \n\nSAM.

That the foreign rate to which each letter shall be liable on account of charge for conveyance, to be paid by each of the two Offices to the other in virtue of the present Article, shall not in any case exceed three pence per quarter of an ounce British, or fraction of a quarter of an ounce British.\n\n2. That the letters exchanged between France and its possessions by means of the British Post Office shall not, under any circumstances, be charged by the French Post Office with higher inland or sea rates than those chargeable for the same or for a similar service on letters which France exchanges by another route with the same possessions.\n\n3. That the letters exchanged between Great Britain and its possessions by means of the French Post Office shall not, under any circumstances, be charged by the British Post Office with higher inland or sea rates than those chargeable for the same or for a similar service on letters which Great Britain exchanges by another route with the same possessions.\n\nARTICLE XXIX.\n\nThere shall be reserved in the four-gons, carriages, or vehicles conveying between Marseilles and Calais the mails from the East Indies to Great Britain, or from Great Britain to the East Indies, a place, free of charge, for a British courier, who shall keep the said mails under his special care, and who shall have the right to be present at the purification of the correspondence contained in those mails, whenever it shall take place, and at all other operations to which the said correspondence may be subjected.\n\nThe same advantages shall be granted over the territory of Great Britain to the couriers of the French Post Office, in case that Office shall think proper to send in charge of a French courier the mails containing the correspondence from or to France mentioned in Article XXVIII preceding.\n\nEn considération de cette réduction exceptionnelle, il est réciproquement convenu, savoir :\n\n1. Que la taxe étrangère applicable à chaque lettre à titre de remboursement des prix de transport, que chacune des deux Administrations paiera à l'autre en vertu du présent Article, ne pourra, en aucun cas, excéder trois pence par quart d'once Britannique, ou fraction de quart d'once Britannique.\n\n2. Que les lettres échangées entre la France et ses possessions par l'intermédiaire des Postes Britanniques ne pourront, sous aucun prétexte, être frappées, au profit de l'Administration des Postes de France, de taxes territoriales, ou de voie de mer, supérieures à celles applicables pour le même service, ou pour un service analogue, aux lettres que la France est dans le cas d'échanger par une autre voie avec ces mêmes possessions.\n\n3. Que les lettres échangées entre la Grande Bretagne et ses possessions par l'intermédiaire des Postes de France, ne pourront, sous aucun prétexte, être frappées, au profit de l'Administration des Postes Britanniques, de taxes territoriales, ou de voie de mer, supérieures à celles applicables pour le même service, ou pour un service analogue, aux lettres que la Grande Bretagne est dans le cas d'échanger par une autre voie avec ces mêmes possessions.\n\nARTICLE XXIX.\n\nIl sera réservé dans les fourgons, voitures, ou wagons qui transporteront entre Marseille et Calais les dépêches des Indes Orientales pour la Grande Bretagne, ou de la Grande Bretagne pour les Indes Orientales, une place gratuite pour un courrier Britannique, qui conservera les dites dépêches sous sa garde particulière, et qui pourra assister à la purification des correspondances contenues dans ces dépêches toutes les fois qu'elle devra avoir lieu, et à toutes les autres opérations auxquelles ces correspondances pourraient être soumises.\n\nLes mêmes avantages seront accordés sur le territoire de la Grande Bretagne aux courriers de l'Administration des Postes de France, dans le cas où cette Administration jugerait à propos de faire accompagner par un courrier Français les dépêches contenant les correspondances de ou pour la France mentionnées dans l'Article XXVIII précédent.\n\nARTICLE XXX.\n\nIt is understood that the weight of dead letters of every kind, as well as that of the letter-bills and other forms of accounts, consequent on the exchange of correspondence conveyed in closed mails by one of the two Offices on account of the other, and which are mentioned in the preceding Articles XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXV, XXVI, and XXVIII, shall not be included in the weight of the letters, newspapers, and printed papers of every kind, on which shall be assessed the rate fixed by the said Articles.\n\nARTICLE XXXI.\n\nThe British Post Office and the French Post Office shall determine, by mutual consent, the conditions upon which shall be exchanged in open mails between the respective Offices of exchange, letters and printed papers of every kind, originating in or addressed to the colonies or foreign countries which make use of one of the two countries as a means of communicating with the other.\n\nNevertheless, it is reciprocally agreed, on the one side, that the British territorial rate applicable to letters exchanged as well in ordinary as in closed mails, by way of France, between Great Britain and the foreign countries, the correspondence of which is transmitted through France, shall not, in any case, exceed the British territorial rate applicable to letters which Great Britain may exchange with those same countries by any other route than that of France; and, on the other side, that the French territorial rate applicable to letters exchanged as well in ordinary as in closed mails by means of British mail-packets between France and countries beyond sea, shall not, in any case, exceed the French territorial rate applicable to letters which France may exchange with those same countries by means of French or foreign mail-packets.\n\nThe British Post Office and the Post Office of France shall also determine, by mutual consent, the conditions...\n\nARTICLE XXX.\n\nIl est entendu que le poids des correspondances de toute nature tombées en rebut, ainsi que celui des feuilles d'avis et autres pièces de comptabilité résultant de l'échange des correspondances transportées en dépêches closes par l'une des deux Administrations pour le compte de l'autre, et qui sont mentionnées dans les Articles XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXV, XXVI, et XXVIII précédents, ne sera pas compris dans la pesée des lettres, journaux, et imprimés de toute nature, sur lesquels devront être assis les prix de transport fixés par les dits Articles.\n\nARTICLE XXXI.\n\nL'Administration des Postes Britanniques et l'Administration des Postes de France fixeront, d'un commun accord, les conditions auxquelles pourront être échangées à découvert entre les Bureaux d'échange respectifs, les lettres et les imprimés de toute nature originaires ou à destination des colonies et des pays étrangers qui empruntent l'intermédiaire de l'un des deux pays pour correspondre avec l'autre.\n\nToutefois, il est réciproquement convenu, d'une part, que la taxe territoriale Britannique applicable aux lettres échangées tant à découvert qu'en dépêches closes, par la voie de la France, entre la Grande Bretagne et les pays étrangers auxquels la France sert d'intermédiaire, ne pourra, en aucun cas, excéder la taxe territoriale Britannique applicable aux lettres que la Grande Bretagne est dans le cas d'échanger avec ces mêmes pays par une autre voie que celle de la France; et, d'autre part, que la taxe territoriale Française applicable aux lettres échangées tant à découvert qu'en dépêches closes, par la voie des paquebots-poste Britanniques, entre la France et les pays d'outremer, ne pourra, en aucun cas, excéder la taxe territoriale Française applicable aux lettres que la France est dans le cas d'échanger avec ces mêmes pays par la voie des paquebots-poste Français ou étrangers.\n\nL'Administration des Postes Britanniques et l'Administration des Postes de France fixeront aussi, d'un commun...\n\nD2\n\n315",

        "content_text": "## THE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1870.\n\nWe received last month 140,905lb of warrants and 5,314lb of marine, being much larger quantities than in either of the two past years. Our total import of unrefined sugar last month was 1,052,083 cwt, this being the first time it has ever reached seven figures in November. Of refined sugar, we received 125,928 cwt, a quantity which is also greater than before. With respect to spirits, we imported 443,534 proof gallons of rum and 388,404 gallons of brandy, both quantities being larger than those of last year. We also received 1,409,831 gallons of wine, more than half of which came from Spain and Portugal.\n\nIn the Christmas festivities at various London hospitals, the wards were tastefully decorated with flowers and evergreens. At St. Thomas's Hospital, the children's ward was especially noticeable. At University College Hospital, the decorations of the wards were this year more elaborate than ever before. A pleasant dinner of roast beef and plum pudding was provided for the patients by the hospital authorities.\n\nThe condition of some of the metropolitan workhouses at Christmas was described by a correspondent of the Telegraph. At the Strand Union Workhouse, the number of indoor paupers was 1,400, but owing to the temporary transfer of the paupers of St. Martin's parish, there were 1,818 indoor paupers. The severe weather had increased the number of paupers admitted, but the outdoor relief had decreased compared with last year.\n\nA deputation waited upon Mr. Paget, the Thames police magistrate, to make representations about the terrible distress in the East-end districts and to solicit assistance for the local relief committee. Mr. Shaw-Lefevre, the chairman of the London Hospital, stated that during the last three months, 12,000 applications had been made to the hospital, and that the funds were now exhausted.\n\nThe export of gunpowder shows a slight increase, from 1,571,122lb in November last year to 1,613,915lb last month. In the eleven months just expired, the total number exported was 15,665,475lb, as compared with 15,105,808lb last year.\n\nThe Canadian Government has hitherto granted free passages from Quebec to wherever the immigrants go to. Provisions are generally cheaper in Canada than in England. Mutton ranges from 4d to 7d per lb; beef, 7d to 8d; flour, 15s to 18s per cwt; potatoes, 1s 6d per bushel; apples (abundant), 2d per lb; butter, 10d; cheese, 7d; pure milk, 2d per quart; tea, 3s 6d; sugar, 6d; fowls, 1s each; ducks, 1s 8d; turkeys, 3s.\n\nThe Italian Minister in London has published a letter on the observance of treaties and public law in Europe. He contends that a treaty comes to an end when either of the contracting parties loses its existence as an independent state. Treaties, however, remain binding in many cases despite violation by either party.\n\nThe Committee on Explosives has forwarded to the War Office reports on the progress of their investigations at Woolwich. Their attention has been specially directed to determining the description of gunpowder whose employment in large charges is attended with the least risk of overtraining the gun.\n\nThe weather on New Year's Day was splendid, with frost and sunshine. The frozen state of the Serpentine and other lakes in London's parks allowed for skating. The Italian occupation of Rome was a significant event, with the Italian Crucifixion Book being laid before the Italian War Minister.\n\nSeveral shipping accidents occurred during the week, including the stranding of the steamer Calabria and the stranding of the ship Alliance. The weather was generally cold and frosty, with some fog.\n\nThe London School Board clerkship had many candidates, including Mr. G. F. Crundell, B.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Mr. R. H.

        "content_text": "300\n\n(20)\n\nthink it their duty to call particular attention to the evidence of Mr. GRIMES on this subject (p. 119).\n\n57. Of the Police seconded to other departments, by far the greater number are employed as a gaol guard. The Commission are unable to see that any particular advantage accrues from this arrangement, and if their suggestions as to the reorganisation of the force be adopted, it will become impossible, as there is a special unfitness in Chinese for this work, and Europeans could not be afforded for it. The Commission are unanimously of opinion that, having regard to the nature of the duties, and to the heavy military contribution paid by the Colony, they should be performed by the military. But in default of the military authorities accepting this plain duty, the Commission advise that the Superintendent of the Gaol be instructed to provide a sufficient permanent gaol guard drawn from such sources as he thinks best for the purpose.\n\n58. With regard to the other seconded Police, they are few in number, and are mostly Indians. These having become familiar with their duties, there would be little advantage in removing them from their posts. The question, however, of Police orderlies stands on a different footing, and the Commission are strongly of opinion that Policemen, highly paid to do Police work, should not be taken from that important duty to perform tasks which, for the most part, could as well be done by ordinary Chinese messengers.\n\n59. The Police Fire Brigade seems to be an admirably devised scheme, and the only available public provision of the kind which was possible in the Colony without incurring a most unnecessary expense. The Commission cannot recommend any interference with this body, further than that of placing, when opportunity occurs, one of the superior officers of Police in the post of one of the Assistant Superintendents of the Brigade. This step seems necessary to prevent a clashing of orders.\n\n60. The force of District Watchmen seems on the whole to have been a useful body of men, and the Commission, therefore, recommend that they should be left alone for the present, but that, as the reorganisation of the Police proceeds, they should be gradually disbanded or absorbed into the latter force. Should the advice of the majority of the Commission be accepted, and result, as they hope it will, in a better understanding between the Government and the Chinese touching Police matters, the raison d'être of the District Watchmen will cease.\n\n61. In regard to the officers employed to supervise brothels, markets, and nuisances, these men hold posts created by special Ordinances. Their functions seem, on the whole, to have been satisfactorily performed, and the Commission see no reason for recommending any material changes in their position. They consider that these duties have been advantageously attached to the Police force, as they open a door for promotion to a class of men whose steadiness and good conduct deserve recognition, but whose abilities and education hardly fit them for the more important duties devolving on ordinary Inspectors. It is, however, regarded as a grievance by the latter that these men should wear Inspector's uniform, and there is no doubt much justice in the complaint. The Commission, therefore, think that the use of Police Inspectors' uniform should be discontinued by these officers; nor is it the intention of the Commission to recommend that they should be paid in accordance with the scale of pay for Inspectors mentioned in paragraph 41.\n\n(21)\n\n62. The Commission agree with the evidence laid before them (pp. 93, 94, 96, 108) that offenders against Police discipline should be tried, as a rule, by the Captain Superintendent himself and not by any Deputy. They think such a rule would in every way be more satisfactory than the existing practice. A separate ward in the Gaol doubtless ought to be set apart for such defaulters. It is also important that the Captain Superintendent should not be allowed to exercise the functions of a Justice of the Peace except to carry out the provisions of the Police Ordinance. In regard to this point the Commission would refer to Mr. MAY's evidence (p. 94).\n\n63. The existing Barrack accommodation is fair, but rather limited as to room. The Commission trust that the new arrangements now in contemplation will afford sufficient space. The question, however, of quarters for married men will continue to demand much more attention than has been given to it. A representation has already been made by the Commission, in a letter of the 3rd May last, as to the condition of the urinals, latrines, and water supply, and they take this opportunity of further impressing on the Executive the urgent necessity of immediate action to remedy the present disgusting and unhealthy state of things.\n\n64. The canteen is a subject which has caused the Commission some anxiety, the institution being one which under proper management is highly beneficial, but which is capable of being converted into an intolerable abuse.\n\nThe following important evidence upon this matter will be found at page 118:-\n\n\"The canteen was badly managed, and was the cause of much drunkenness at the Central Station,\" by SIR R. MACDONNELL, \"beer only being supplied, limited to a quart per man per day. This rule was relaxed under Mr. RIC, and the result was drunkenness, gambling, and card playing all through the barracks.\" Mr. DEANE put a stop to this, and limited the allowance again. \"Beer and porter only, of good quality, should be sold.\"\n\nAnother trustworthy witness says:\n\n\"I cannot say much for the canteen. I think it needs a more stringent control. Men get unlimited drink, and on credit too. I have known men have no pay left after settling for messing and beer. I would give no credit at the canteen, and would allow a man only three pints a day. I think the canteen induces a certain amount of drunkenness. No spirits are supplied at the canteen now.\"\n\n65. The above quoted evidence can leave no doubt that the canteen has been made a source of the gravest evils. Although they are glad to recognise the fact that most of these have been vigorously suppressed, the Commission are not at all satisfied that the canteen is yet what it should be. They emphatically deprecate the supply of rum or other spirits to the men, on any pretext, and they consider that the system of credit should be most strictly limited to a moderate daily allowance of malt liquor. Under these precautions the canteen will, no doubt, be a serviceable institution.\n\n66. The establishment on sound principles of a Police Savings Bank would be a boon of no ordinary kind and is well within the power of the Government to bestow on the force. The Commission feel sure that such an institution would, in its steadying results, amply repay any trouble bestowed upon it.\n\n67. Great laxity seems to have prevailed in the matter of uniform. Care ought to be taken that no doubt should be possible as to the uniform which every officer is entitled and bound to wear.",

        "content_text": "(34)\n\nAPPENDIX A.\n\nMr. DEANE'S REPORT AS TO PAY OF OLD AND NEW EUROPEAN CONSTABLES. (May 10th, 1872.)\n\nAs to the pay of the Europeans, I have to report that the present rate is as follows:-\n\nSergeants, $40 a month.\n\nMen enlisted in England by agreement, $40\n\nEuropean Constables enlisted here, $32\n\n20 men 1st class, $30\n\n20 2nd, $27\n\n7, $26\n\n20 3rd, $27\n\n20 West Indians.\n\n  \n    P. C. 76, joined in January, 1870.\n    Punishment during 1871,\n    Value.\n  \n  \n    Fine, $8,\n    \n    64\n  \n  \n    Fine, $1.\n    \n    8\n  \n  \n    Reprimand,\n    \n    2\n  \n  \n    Fine $5,\n    \n    40\n  \n  \n    Confined to Barracks, 7 days,\n    \n    21\n  \n  \n    \n    \n    104\n  \n  \n    \n    \n    307\n  \n\n\"\n\nIn 1869, the rates were:-\n\n3 Sergeants, $40 per mensem.\n\n$36\n\n$32\n\n2 Acting Sergeants, $32\n\n$31\n\n3, $28\n\n20 Constables,\n\n  \n    $26\n    $24\n    22\n  \n\nIt will therefore be seen that the pay of all but three men has been raised since 1869. The difficulty of apportioning the pay of the old to that of the new men arises from the fact that the new men all had at least fifteen months good conduct service in England, whereas although some of the older men have longer service here, yet their conduct cannot be considered wholly good. I believe therefore that the best way to reconcile the two classes of men would be to leave the rates of pay as at present, but, besides the present good conduct allowances for special services, to establish classes for general good conduct coupled with length of service. In estimating what constitutes general good conduct I would suggest that the decision should be arrived at from the scale below, estimating under 20 black marks as worthy of 1st class; between 20 and 40 black marks as 2nd class; and between 40 and 60 black marks as 3rd class; over 60 marks not worthy extra pay. Scale: 1st class $9, 2nd $6, 3rd $3 a month.\n\n  \n    Kind of Punishment.\n    Equivalent to.\n  \n  \n    Caution,\n    1 black mark.\n  \n  \n    Reprimand,\n    2\n  \n  \n    Severe reprimand,\n    +1\n  \n  \n    Fine, 25 cents and under,\n    2\n  \n  \n    Each 25 cents above,\n    +1\n  \n  \n    Drill, each day,\n    2\n  \n  \n    Confined to Barracks, Imprisonment,\n    per diem.\n  \n\nP. C. 76 would therefore not be allowed anything beyond his present pay. By the above plan the old men in the service who are deserving can obtain consideration for their services, and the Government would not be bound to a perpetual increase of pay for men who may hereafter join in the Colony.\n\nWhilst on this point I may observe, that besides their pay the men get furnished quarters and two suits of uniform a year; the lowest class Constable gets about $8 a month clear, after his messing and a quart of beer a day have been paid for. The objection to a high rate of pay to men joining is I think serious. It is not for some six or nine months that a safe conclusion can be arrived at as to the conduct and capabilities of a recruit. It often occurs that the conduct of a man in the daily routine of duty is such that no specific charge can be alleged against him, but some occurrence slightly out of the common way happens, and it is at once shown that the man will never be fit for a higher grade. Again, a man may be never drunk or never absent from duty, but he may go over the same beat day after day without bringing a case to Court; another man may be put on the same beat, and again and again will bring up cases that deserve punishment. It is therefore only by experience, after a man has served some months, that a true estimate can be formed as to whether he is really doing service to the Government in proportion to the pay received.\n\nI am therefore strongly of opinion that the pay given to men at first should only be such as will provide them with the necessaries of life in their position. Afterwards I think the pay should be higher than is at present allowed to old Constables.\n\nThe supply of recruits has undoubtedly been materially affected by the falling off in the number of sailing vessels that frequent the harbour.

        "content_text": "258 \n\n(20) \n\nthink it their duty to call particular attention to the evidence of Mr. GRIMES on this subject (p. 119). \n\n57. Of the Police seconded to other departments, by far the greater number are employed as a gaol guard. The Commission are unable to see that any particular advantage accrues from this arrangement, and if their suggestions as to the reorganisation of the force be adopted, it will become impossible, as there is a special unfitness in Chinese for this work, and Europeans could not be afforded for it. The Commission are unanimously of opinion that, having regard to the nature of the duties, and to the heavy military contribution paid by the Colony, they should be performed by the military. But in default of the military authorities accepting this plain duty, the Commission advise that the Superintendent of the Gaol be instructed to provide a sufficient permanent gaol guard drawn from such sources as he thinks best for the purpose.\n\n## Seconded Police\n\n58. With regard to the other seconded Police, they are few in number, and are mostly Indians. These having become familiar with their duties, there would be little advantage in removing them from their posts. The question, however, of Police orderlies stands on a different footing, and the Commission are strongly of opinion that Policemen, highly paid to do Police work, should not be taken from that important duty to perform tasks which, for the most part, could as well be done by ordinary Chinese messengers.\n\n59. The Police Fire Brigade seems to be an admirably devised scheme, and the only available public provision of the kind which was possible in the Colony without incurring a most unnecessary expense. The Commission cannot recommend any interference with this body, further than that of placing, when opportunity occurs, one of the superior officers of Police in the post of one of the Assistant Superintendents of the Brigade. This step seems necessary to prevent a clashing of orders.\n\n## Fire Brigade\n\n60. The force of District Watchmen seems on the whole to have been a useful body of men, and the Commission, therefore, recommend that they should be left alone for the present, but that, as the reorganisation of the Police proceeds, they should be gradually disbanded or absorbed into the latter force. Should the advice of the majority of the Commission be accepted, and result, as they hope it will, in a better understanding between the Government and the Chinese touching Police matters, the raison d'être of the District Watchmen will cease.\n\n61. In regard to the officers employed to supervise brothels, markets, and nuisances, these men hold posts created by special Ordinances. Their functions seem, on the whole, to have been satisfactorily performed, and the Commission see no reason for recommending any material changes in their position. They consider that these duties have been advantageously attached to the Police force, as they open a door for promotion to a class of men whose steadiness and good conduct deserve recognition, but whose abilities and education hardly fit them for the more important duties devolving on ordinary Inspectors. It is, however, regarded as a grievance by the latter that these men should wear Inspector's uniform, and there is no doubt much justice in the complaint. The Commission, therefore, think that the use of Police Inspectors' uniform should be discontinued by these officers; nor is it the intention of the Commission to recommend that they should be paid in accordance with the scale of pay for Inspectors mentioned in paragraph 44.\n\n## Trying Defaulters\n\n62. The Commission agree with the evidence laid before them (pp. 93, 94, 96, 108) that offenders against Police discipline should be tried, as a rule, by the Captain Superintendent himself and not by any Deputy. They think such a rule would in every way be more satisfactory than the existing practice. A separate ward in the Gaol doubtless ought to be set apart for such defaulters. It is also important that the Captain Superintendent should not be allowed to exercise the functions of a Justice of the Peace except to carry out the provisions of the Police Ordinance. In regard to this point, the Commission would refer to Mr. MAY's evidence (p. 91).\n\n## Barracks\n\n63. The existing Barrack accommodation is fair, but rather limited as to room. The Commission trust that the new arrangements now in contemplation will afford sufficient space. The question, however, of quarters for married men will continue to demand much more attention than has been given to it. A representation has already been made by the Commission, in a letter of the 3rd May last, as to the condition of the urinals, latrines, and water supply, and they take this opportunity of further impressing on the Executive the urgent necessity of immediate action to remedy the present disgusting and unhealthy state of things.\n\n## Canteen\n\n64. The canteen is a subject which has caused the Commission some anxiety, the institution being one which under proper management is highly beneficial, but which is capable of being converted into an intolerable abuse. The following important evidence upon this matter will be found at page 118:- \n\n\"The canteen was badly managed, and was the cause of much drunkenness at the Central Station. It was established by SIR R. MACDONNELL, beer only being supplied, limited to a quart per man per day. This rule was relaxed under Mr. RICE, and the result was drunkenness, gambling, and card playing all through the barracks. Mr. DEANE put a stop to this, and limited the allowance again. Beer and porter only, of good quality, should be sold.\"\n\nAnother trustworthy witness says: \n\n\"I cannot say much for the canteen. I think it needs a more stringent control. Men get unlimited drink, and on credit too. I have known men have to pay £... after settling for messing and beer. I would give no credit at the canteen, and would allow a man only three pints a day. I think the canteen induces a certain amount of drunkenness. No spirits are supplied at the canteen now.\"\n\n65. The above quoted evidence can leave no doubt that the canteen has been made a source of the gravest evils. Although they are glad to recognise the fact that most of these have been vigorously suppressed, the Commission are not at all satisfied that the canteen is yet what it should be. They emphatically deprecate the supply of rum or other spirits to the men, on any pretext, and they consider that the system of credit should be most strictly limited to a moderate daily allowance of malt liquor. Under these precautions, the canteen will, no doubt, be a serviceable institution.\n\n## Savings Bank\n\n66. The establishment on sound principles of a Police Savings Bank would be a boon of no ordinary kind and is well within the power of the Government to bestow on the force. The Commission feel sure that such an institution would, in its steadying results, amply repay any trouble bestowed upon it.\n\n## Uniform\n\n67. Great laxity seems to have prevailed in the matter of uniform. Care ought to be taken that no doubt should be possible as to the uniform which every officer is entitled and bound to wear.\n\n(21)",

        "content_text": "# APPENDIX A.\n\n## Mr. DEANE'S REPORT AS TO PAY OF OLD AND NEW EUROPEAN CONSTABLES. (May 10th, 1872.)\n\nAs to the pay of the Europeans, I have to report that the present rate is as follows:\n\n| Category | Pay |\n| --- | --- |\n| Sergeants | $40 a month |\n| Men enlisted in England by agreement | $40 |\n| European Constables enlisted here | $32 |\n| 20 men 1st class | $30 |\n| 33 | $26 |\n| 20 2nd | $27 |\n| 1 |  |\n| 20 West Indians |  |\n\nP. C. 76, joined in January, 1870. Punishment during 1871.\n\n| Punishment | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| Fine, $8 | 64 |\n| Fine, $1 | 8 |\n| Reprimand | 2 |\n| Fine $5 | 40 |\n| Confined to Barracks, 7 days | 21 |\n\nIn 1869, the rates were:\n\n| Category | Pay |\n| --- | --- |\n| 3 Sergeants | $40 per mensem |\n| 2 | $36 |\n| 3 Acting Sergeants | $32 |\n| 2 | $32 |\n| 20 Constables | $31 |\n| 20 | $30 |\n| 23 | $28 |\n| 37 | $26 |\n| 31 | $24 |\n\nIt will therefore be seen that the pay of all but three men has been raised since 1869.\n\nThe difficulty of apportioning the pay of the old to that of the new men arises from the fact that the new men all had at least fifteen months good conduct service in England, whereas although some of the older men have longer service here, yet their conduct cannot be considered wholly good. I believe therefore that the best way to reconcile the two classes of men would be to leave the rates of pay as at present, but, besides the present good conduct allowances for special services, to establish classes for general good conduct coupled with length of service. In estimating what constitutes general good conduct I would suggest that the decision should be arrived at from the scale below, estimating under 20 black marks as worthy of 1st class; between 20 and 40 black marks as 2nd class; and between 40 and 60 black marks as 3rd class; over 60 marks not worthy extra pay. Scale: 1st class $9, 2nd $6, 3rd $3 a month.\n\n| Kind of Punishment | Equivalent to |\n| --- | --- |\n| Caution | 1 black mark |\n| Reprimand | 2 |\n| Severe reprimand | 4 |\n| Fine, 25 cents and under | 2 |\n| Each 25 cents above | 2 |\n| Drill, each day | 1 |\n| Confined to Barracks, Imprisonment | 3 per diem |\n|  | 6 |\n\nP. C. 76 would therefore not be allowed anything beyond his present pay. By the above plan the old men in the service who are deserving can obtain consideration for their services, and the Government would not be bound to a perpetual increase of pay for men who may hereafter join in the Colony.\n\nWhilst on this point I may observe, that besides their pay the men get furnished quarters and two suits of uniform a year; the lowest class Constable gets about $8 a month clear, after his messing and a quart of beer a day have been paid for. The objection to a high rate of pay to men joining is I think serious. It is not for some six or nine months that a safe conclusion can be arrived at as to the conduct and capabilities of a recruit. It often occurs that the conduct of a man in the daily routine of duty is such that no specific charge can be alleged against him, but some occurrence slightly out of the common way happens, and it is at once shown that the man will never be fit for a higher grade. Again, a man may be never drunk or never absent from duty, but he may go over the same beat day after day without bringing a case to Court; another man may be put on the same beat, and again and again will bring up cases that deserve punishment. It is therefore only by experience, after a man has served some months, that a true estimate can be formed as to whether he is really doing service to the Government in proportion to the pay received.\n\nI am therefore strongly of opinion that the pay given to men at first should only be such as will provide them with the necessaries of life in their position. Afterwards I think the pay should be higher than is at present allowed to old Constables.\n\nThe supply of recruits has undoubtedly been materially affected by the falling off in the number of sailing vessels that frequent the harbour. So many steamers now run, the crews of which have signed undertakings for the voyage out and home, whereas in sailing vessels the undertaking would be often for the outward voyage only. For the class of men who can now be picked up in the Colony I think the present rate of pay sufficient at first.\n\nI believe that the efficiency of the force can only be secured by procuring a half-yearly supply of recruits from England.\n\n**EXAMPLE**\n\nP.

        "content_text": "732\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS.\n\ndu 2 avril 1872, inconvénients qu'une expérience de quatre années fait encore ressortir avec plus d'évidence; il nous reste à formuler les modifications que nous voudrions voir apporter à cette loi.\n\n5° Ouvrir un compte spécial chez les fabricants liquoristes, pour les liqueurs, bitter et fruits à l'eau-de-vie, et, en fin d'exercice, leur allouer, à titre de déchet de fabrication, une allocation de 10 % effectifs, et non annuels, sur les quantités d'alcool contenues dans les produits ci-dessus énoncés, ces quantités d'alcool étant constatées par la déclaration faite par le fabricant de leur richesse alcoolique. La demande que nous formulons ci-dessus est basée sur de nombreuses expériences, que les fabricants de Bordeaux soussignés sont prêts à recommencer en présence de l'Administration des contributions indirectes.\n\n2° En dehors de cette allocation spéciale à leurs déchets de fabrication, les fabricants liquoristes jouiront de 7 % de déduction de séjour par ou sur tous les liquides qu'ils auront dans leurs entrepôts.\n\n1° Les excédants qui pourraient être constatés par les recensements devront alors être simplement pris en charge, la prise en charge garantissant suffisamment les droits du Trésor.\n\n4° Les manquants continueront, comme dans la loi du 2 août 1872, à n'être passibles que du simple droit.\n\n3° Étant donnée l'insuffisance de l'alambic Salleron, accorder dans les vérifications une tolérance qui puisse compenser la défectuosité reconnue de cet appareil pour la vérification des liqueurs, fruits à l'eau-de-vie et bitter.\n\nEn vous priant de nouveau, monsieur le président, de prendre notre demande en sérieuse considération, et de vouloir bien user de votre haute influence en faveur de nos intérêts, lésés par une loi incomplète, nous vous présentons, monsieur le président, nos respectueuses salutations.» Suivent vingt-trois signatures. Plusieurs autres n'ont pu être apposées, par suite de l'absence des chefs de maison. La chambre de commerce de Bordeaux s'est jointe aux signataires de la pétition pour en attester le bien-fondé et la recommander à l'attention de la Commission du budget.\n\nPROTECTION INTERNATIONALE DES MARQUES DE FABRIQUE.\n\nBULLETIN DE QUINZAINE.\n\nJurisprudence des tribunaux italiens.\n\nLa cour de cassation de Florence vient de clore de la façon la plus heureuse une campagne importante entreprise il y a près de deux ans, sous les auspices de l'Union des fabricants, par plusieurs sociétaires.\n\nUn grand intérêt s'attachait aux instances en cours, en dehors des questions de fait. On sentait, en effet, que de la solution qui serait donnée aux exceptions soulevées dépendait la sécurité des marques françaises en Italie.\n\nIl y avait, dans les procès engagés par MM. Blancard et consorts, à Milan et à Florence, des difficultés juridiques s'appliquant à notre commerce tout entier, et dont les moins apparentes n'étaient peut-être pas les moins redoutables. Pour bien saisir toute la portée du débat, il faut savoir que l'Italie est beaucoup moins unifiée qu'on ne le suppose en France. C'est ainsi, par exemple, qu'il y a encore cinq cours de cassation émettant souvent des décisions notablement divergentes. Ajoutez à cela que la pénalité n'est pas la même pour le même acte dans toutes les provinces du royaume, à tel point qu'un assassin, qui sera guillotiné s'il a opéré sur la rive droite du Serchio, sera seulement condamné à l'ergastolo, s'il a occis sa victime sur la rive gauche — crime à Lucques, ce qui est délit à Pise.\n\nIl va de soi que la procédure se ressent de la pénalité, que les délais d'ajournement varient suivant que l'instance relève du code pénal toscan ou du code pénal italien. On comprend que ces inégalités de traitement sur le même territoire sont une source d'exceptions que les délinquants ne manquent pas d'invoquer, et souvent avec succès. Il s'agissait de savoir, dans l'espèce, si la loi italienne du 30 août 1868 est applicable uniformément, comme pénalité et comme procédure, dans toute l'Italie, ou si l'étranger doit se débattre dans les complications des législations locales. Telle est la question qui a été portée devant la cour suprême de Toscane. On pouvait craindre l'influence d'un sentiment de particularisme d'autant plus explicable que les Toscans jugent, non sans raison, leur code supérieur au code italien, en bien des points sur lesquels il va se faire bientôt un certain bruit dans le Parlement. Mais il était permis, d'autre part, d'espérer que la loi serait interprétée en esprit et en vérité, c'est-à-dire dans le sens d'une application générale à toute la monarchie, car c'était l'avis de l'honorable M. Puccioni, dont l'autorité en pareille matière résulte non seulement de son grand savoir personnel, mais encore de ce fait bien connu que son illustre père est l'auteur du code pénal toscan. L'éminent juriste que la Chambre des députés vient d'élever à la vice-présidence a donc développé devant la cour suprême la véritable thèse de droit en cette matière, à savoir que tous les faits relatifs à la contrefaçon relèvent aujourd'hui de la loi générale édictée le 30 août 1868, et n'ont rien à voir avec les dispositions locales maintenues, à titre transitoire, lors de la formation du royaume d'Italie. La cour de cassation de Florence a adopté sagement cette haute interprétation. Ainsi se trouve simplifiée une question extrêmement importante pour le commerce étranger; mais ce n'est pas la seule que l'arrêt ait tranchée, du moins implicitement. Il résulte en fait de la confirmation des sentences rendues en première instance et en appel que la procédure suivie en cette circonstance est aujourd'hui fixée comme parfaitement correcte. Or la saisie des livres et de la correspondance des contrefacteurs a fait partie de cette procédure et en a été l'une des parties essentielles.\n\nEnfin, la conformité des motifs adoptés par les trois degrés des juridictions implique encore un autre résultat de la plus haute valeur : c'est que le propriétaire d'une marque ne saurait en être dépouillé par ce fait que ladite marque a été contrefaite antérieurement au dépôt, ce qui était établi dans l'espèce. Nous insistons sur ce point, parce qu'il a fait l'objet d'une controverse devant la cour d'appel de Turin qui, il y a deux ans, a incliné vers une solution contraire. On voit que les vrais principes font leur chemin. Il ne serait que juste d'ajouter, en présence des jugements et arrêts récemment rendus à Milan et à Florence, qu'en aucun autre pays, la magistrature ne prend un plus vif souci de la probité commerciale et des progrès du sens moral.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nCDE MAILLARD-MARAFY,\n\nLES JURIDICTIONS CIVILES ET COMMERCIALES. LEURS TRAVAUX EN 1874.\n\nNous publions aujourd'hui la première partie du rapport que M. le garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice et des cultes, vient d'adresser au Président de la République sur l'administration de la justice civile et commerciale en France pendant l'année 1874. Nous avons cru devoir seulement en retrancher ce qui touche à des matières d'un intérêt de second ordre pour le public auquel nous nous adressons, à savoir : les jugements préparatoires ou interlocutoires (avant-faire-droit), les ordonnances des présidents et les ordres et contributions. En revanche, nous signalons à l'attention particulière de nos lecteurs certains paragraphes dont la portée ne saurait leur échapper. Tel est celui qui est relatif aux ventes judiciaires et qui constate que la diminution du nombre des ventes judiciaires d'immeubles, déjà sensible en 1873, s'est encore accentuée davantage en 1874. Le paragraphe qui concerne les séparations de corps mérite aussi d'être remarqué : il est curieux de voir que le nombre des ordonnances rendues sur ce genre de litige est presque identique en 1874 et en 1873 : 8,293 en 1873 et 8,194 en 1874; que la même égalité se retrouve dans les chiffres des ordonnances de comparution des parties : 4,286 et 4,330; pour le nombre des non-conciliations, il n'y a aussi, entre les deux années, qu'une légère différence — pendant l'année 1874, 3,864 causes seulement ont été renvoyées devant les tribunaux faute d'accord entre les époux, tandis qu'en 1873 il y en avait eu 3,931. Pour ce qui est des ventes judiciaires, la disproportion exorbitante qui existe entre le montant des adjudications et celui des frais démontre péremptoirement, cette année comme l'année dernière, « la nécessité et l'urgence des réformes attendues. » Seulement, tandis que, dans son précédent rapport, M. le garde des sceaux se bornait à exprimer « l'espérance de voir se réaliser, sur ce point, les réformes si équitables qui avaient déjà fixé l'attention du législateur, » il peut, cette fois, donner à l'opinion publique une satisfaction plus complète, en rappelant la présentation faite par lui à la Chambre des députés, au mois de mai dernier, d'un projet de loi sur les ventes des immeubles de peu de valeur, « qui aura pour effet de diminuer les frais auxquels ces ventes donnent lieu. »\n\nRapport au Président de la République française.\n\nMonsieur le Président,\n\nJ'ai l'honneur de mettre sous vos yeux le compte général de l'administration de la justice civile et commerciale en France et en Algérie pendant l'année 1874. Il complète, avec le compte criminel que je vous ai soumis récemment, l'ensemble des travaux de la magistrature en toute matière et à tous les degrés de juridiction.\n\nDe même que j'ai eu la satisfaction, à l'occasion de ce dernier document, de signaler, dans l'expédition des affaires criminelles et correctionnelles, un progrès marqué, une abréviation sensible des délais, je suis heureux de constater que la procédure civile a été également plus rapide en 1874 qu'en 1873. Cette amélioration est d'autant plus appréciable que, dans les procès civils, l'initiative appartient aux parties et que les obstacles opposés par leur négligence ou leur mauvais vouloir au zèle des magistrats sont souvent insurmontables.\n\nLa presque similitude des résultats obtenus durant les deux années doit rendre nécessairement très concise l'analyse des travaux accomplis en 1874 par les cours et tribunaux en matière civile et commerciale.\n\nPREMIÈRE PARTIE.\n\nCour de cassation. — Le nombre des pourvoît en cassation formés en 1874 s'est élevé à 3,350, ou 112 de plus qu'en 1873. Cette augmentation provient uniquement des pourvois en matière électorale (203 au lieu de 49).\n\nCes 3,350 pourvois étaient dirigés contre des décisions émanant 418 des cours d'appel, 143 des tribunaux civils, 41 des tribunaux consulaires, 204 des justices de paix, 29 des jurys d'expropriation, 2 des chambres de notaires, 1 du conseil de l'ordre des avocats au conseil d'État et à la cour de cassation. Les 12 autres consistaient en 8 demandes en règlement de juges et 4 réquisitoires.\n\nLa chambre des requêtes a reçu 813 de ces mêmes pourvois et la chambre civile 34 (affaires d'expropriation forcée pour cause d'utilité publique. Art. 20 de la loi du 10 mai 1841). Deux des quatre réquisitoires et le pourvoi formé contre la décision du conseil de l'ordre des avocats à la cour de cassation ont été portés directement devant les chambres réunies.\n\nAu 1er janvier 1874, il restait au rôle 440 pourvois. Avec les 813 qui lui ont été renvoyés pendant l'année, c'est un total de 1,253 affaires sur lesquelles la chambre des requêtes avait à statuer. 764 ont été terminées en 1874, savoir : 470 par des arrêts de rejet, de déchéance ou de non-recevabilité, 263 par des arrêts d'admission (dont 33 de cassation en matière électorale), 24 par des désistements, 4 par des règlements de juges et 1 par un arrêt en matière disciplinaire. Le rôle contenait donc encore, au 31 décembre, 489 pourvois.\n\nLa chambre civile avait à se prononcer, en 1874, sur 361 affaires : 104 anciennes et 257 nouvelles. Elle en a réglé 256 par des arrêts : 92 de rejet, 137 de cassation et 7 donnant acte de désistement, et légué à l'année suivante 105.\n\nQuant aux chambres réunies, elles ont rendu 3 arrêts : 1 de rejet, 1 en matière disciplinaire et 1 qui homologuait une décision du conseil de l'ordre des avocats à la cour de cassation.\n\nEn résumé, si l'on écarte des indications ci-dessus les chiffres qui représentent les arrêts d'admission de la chambre des requêtes et qui font double emploi avec ceux de la chambre civile, on voit que la cour de cassation a rendu 754 arrêts définitifs, parmi lesquels 191 annulaient les décisions attaquées ; c'est le quart (25 %) ou quatre centièmes de moins qu'en 1873.\n\nLe code de commerce est celui dont les dispositions paraissent avoir été le moins bien interprétées par les cours et tribunaux dont les arrêts et jugements ont été frappés de pourvois ; le rapport des cassations au nombre total des arrêts rendus en matière commerciale se chiffre par 36 sur 100, tandis que pour les affaires dont la solution se trouve dans les codes civils ou de procédure civile, la proportion n'est que de 20 % ; elle est de 28 % à l'égard des procès qui ont leur source dans l'application des lois spéciales.\n\nDEUXIÈME PARTIE.\n\nCours d'appel. Pendant l'année 1874, les vingt-six cours d'appel de France avaient à juger 16,436 affaires civiles ou commerciales, se divisant de la manière suivante : 5,667 restant des années précédentes, 146 réinscrites après radiation, 68 revenant sur opposition à des arrêts par défaut prononcés antérieurement à l'année du compte, et 10,555 inscrites pour la première fois ; ce dernier chiffre est inférieur de 123 à celui de 1873.\n\nLes cours ont jugé contradictoirement près des trois quarts des procès terminés : 8,105 sur 11,056, ou 73 % ; elles ont rendu 309 arrêts par défaut (5 %) ; enfin, 2,642 causes (22 %) ont été rayées du rôle après transaction. Il restait donc à statuer, à l'expiration de l'exercice, sur 5,380 affaires ; c'est 287 de moins qu'à l'époque correspondante de 1873, et cependant les cours avaient eu à juger 616 causes de plus ; la situation générale s'est donc améliorée.\n\nBien que les cours d'appel aient terminé 903 affaires de plus en 1874 qu'en 1873, elles ont prononcé 54 avant-faire-droit de moins. Le rapport des arrêts préparatoires ou interlocutoires aux affaires rayées du rôle, qui était de 1 sur 20 en 1870, est de 1 sur 24 en 1874.\n\nDes 5,380 causes restées indécises au 31 décembre, 2,615 constituaient l'arriéré légal prévu par l'article 80 du décret du 30 mars 1808 ; c'est près de la moitié : 49 %. En 1873, le chiffre réel avait été de 3,007 sur 3,667 et le chiffre proportionnel de 53 %. Ce résultat est dû exclusivement à la cour de Paris, qui a prononcé la radiation d'un grand nombre d'affaires qui figuraient au rôle depuis plusieurs années et qui étaient, en réalité, abandonnées.\n\nEn 1874 comme en 1873, le nombre proportionnel des appels formés est de 11 % pour les jugements rendus en matière civile par les tribunaux d'arrondissement, de 12 % pour ceux qui émanaient des tribunaux spéciaux de commerce et de 10 % pour ceux qui ont été prononcés par les tribunaux civils jugeant commercialement.\n\nMais le résultat de ces appels diffère légèrement : le chiffre des confirmations de jugements civils ou commerciaux est de 71 % en 1874, tandis qu'il n'avait été, en 1873, que de 69 % en matière civile et de 70 % en matière commerciale. Si, pour cette dernière catégorie, on distingue les tribunaux consulaires des tribunaux civils, on remarque entre eux une différence de dix centièmes : 72 confirmations pour 100 décisions des premiers et 62 % des seconds. Eu égard à 1873, la première de ces proportions s'est accrue de 2 % ; la seconde, au contraire, a diminué de 7 %.\n\nDans leurs rapports avec les dispositions législatives appliquées, les arrêts confirmatifs se chiffrent de la manière suivante : code civil 69 % ; code de procédure civile, 63 % ; code de commerce, 67 % ; et matières diverses prévues par des lois spéciales, 69 % — l'écart est très peu sensible.\n\nAdoptions. Les actes d'adoption soumis aux cours d'appel ont été moins nombreux que précédemment. Il y en avait eu 110 en 1873, et 138 en 1872 ; il n'y en a plus que 93 en 1874. À l'égard de 6 de ces derniers, les cours ont déclaré qu'il n'y avait pas lieu à adoption.\n\nOn comptait parmi les adoptants 28 hommes, 39 femmes et 26 conjoints agissant de consentement mutuel. Les deux tiers d'entre eux (60) étaient propriétaires rentiers ou exerçaient des professions libérales.\n\nLes adoptés, au nombre de 103, étaient 59 hommes et 41 femmes. 42 ne tenaient aux adoptants par aucun lien de parenté ; 19 étaient leurs neveux ou nièces ; enfin, 32 étaient des enfants naturels, dont 22 avaient été reconnus.\n\nTROISIÈME PARTIE.\n\nTribunaux de première instance. — Pendant l'année 1874, il a été inscrit 125,248 affaires civiles aux rôles des tribunaux d'arrondissement ; ce chiffre avait été de 130,613 en 1873. Cette différence provient, sans aucun doute, de l'élévation des droits de timbre et d'enregistrement, qui arrête, au début, un grand nombre de procès.\n\nÀ ces 125,248 causes nouvelles il convient, pour avoir l'ensemble des affaires du rôle, d'en ajouter 31,770 qui avaient été léguées par l'année précédente, 11,363 qui ont été réinscrites après avoir été considérées comme terminées, et 1,719 qui sont revenues sur opposition à des jugements par défaut rendus antérieurement ; c'est donc un total de 170,302 affaires, se divisant en 88,923 ordinaires, et 81,379 sommaires. (Art. 404 du code de procédure civile.)\n\nVoici les suites qu'elles ont reçues : plus des huit dixièmes (140,381 ou 82 %) ont disparu des rôles pendant l'année, savoir : 70,947 (la moitié) en vertu de jugements contradictoires, 34,542 (un quart) en vertu de décisions par défaut, et 35,202 (le dernier quart) par suite de transaction ou de désistement. Il en restait à juger, à la fin de l'année, 29,921, dont 9,539 avaient déjà donné lieu à des jugements d'avant-faire-droit.\n\nIndépendamment des 105,089 jugements définitifs rendus dans les affaires du rôle, les tribunaux civils en ont prononcé 84,946 sur requête ou sur rapport : 43,013 (plus des trois quarts ou 76 %) en audience publique, et 13,333 (24 %) en chambre du conseil. Le nombre des affaires non inscrites a également diminué ; il y en a eu 1,338 de moins en 1874 qu'en 1873.\n\n783\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS.\n\n...\n\n317",

Il serait inutile de parler ici des ressources de la Turquie elle n'a que celles que donne à des constitutions jadis robustes, mais épuisées, le désespoir dans une lutte où la vie est menacée. Il serait difficile d'évaluer la force de résistance que ce désespoir peut fournir; mais on ne doit pas la dédaigner.\n\nQuant à la Russie, c'est une nation jeune, pleine d'avenir, qui fut ébranlée il y a vingt ans par des efforts précoces. Depuis lors elle s'est relevée, fortifiée, développée; c'est peut-être la puissance qui, dans le dernier quart de siècle, a fait le plus de progrès sociaux et économiques. L'émancipation de la population rurale, le commencement et l'heureux fonctionnement jusqu'à ce jour de l'opération du rachat des terres par les serfs, la conquête de l'Asie centrale, la création d'un réseau de voies ferrées qui atteint 19,000 kilomètres, la constitution de l'équilibre financier: voilà certes de bien grands résultats pour vingt ans de recueillement.\n\nNous avons déjà plusieurs fois écrit sur les finances russes, mais nous ignorions le plus récent budget qui ait été réglé, celui de l'exercice 1875. Le ministère des finances de Saint-Pétersbourg a bien voulu nous envoyer le rapport du Contrôle de l'empire sur le règlement définitif de ce budget. C'est ce document que nous allons analyser.\n\nNous comprenons que l'administration russe, face d'une crise imminente pour la Russie, se soit empressée de porter à la connaissance du public les résultats de l'exercice 1875 : ils sont, en effet, singulièrement favorables. Les recettes se sont élevées, dans cette année, à 576 millions de roubles, et les dépenses n'ont atteint que 543 millions de roubles, ce qui laisse un excédant de 33 millions de roubles : cet excédant est considérable, puisqu'il atteint à peu près 6 % des recettes totales.\n\nNos lecteurs nous demanderont peut-être ce que vaut le rouble. Ici nous avouons un grand embarras. Le rouble d'argent vaut environ 4 francs; mais il s'agit ici de roubles en papier-monnaie déprécié et à cours variable. Jusqu'à la panique du mois d'octobre,\n\nIMPRIMERIE CHAIX ET Cie, RUE BERGÈRE, 20, A PARIS.\n\nLe Gérant: M. DUCROS.\n\nPage 330\n\nPage 331\n\n3\n\n325",

R. NEATE, Inspector of Buildings.\n\n## COPIES OR EXTRACTS OF DESPATCHES FROM GOVERNOR SIR JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G., TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 8th July, 1880.\n\nMY LORD,\n\nThe Ordinance No. 8 of 1856, \"An Ordinance for Buildings and Nuisances,\" gives the local Government complete control over the construction of all buildings in the Colony. This law contains a series of minute and stringent rules, with adequate penalties, framed to prevent the construction of any houses that are not built on what was then supposed to be the best sanitary principles. Mr. O'MALLEY, the Attorney General, tells me that the Ordinance was evidently copied almost entirely from certain Sanitary and Building Acts in force, at that time, in England. I cannot find that the Chinese householders were in any way consulted on the subject when it was being framed and passed; and the result is that some of its provisions are entirely unsuited to this Colony and would do more harm than good if enforced. Amongst other things, Clause VIII provides that it shall not be lawful to construct or re-construct any house without a sufficient water-closet or privy. This is copied from an English Metropolitan Act, but the system of water-closets and house privies is a system quite out of place in a tropical Colony, and not in accordance with the customs of the Chinese people.\n\nThe Chinese house-bucket system, especially when combined with the dry earth system (which in various ways more or less perfect they have practised for centuries), is far better than a system of water-closets and house privies. The Chinese inhabitants maintain that the attempts now and then made by successive Surveyor Generals and Colonial Surgeons to force what is called \"Western Sanitary Science\" upon them, are not based on sound principles. As I stated in the Legislative Council in November, 1878, in a discussion in which I referred to Ordinance 8 of 1856, the leading Chinese residents had said to me: \"Nothing alarms us more than the Government projects of drainage and water supply for flushing house sewage. They are not consistent with our mode of living.\"\n\nOn that occasion I quoted the views of one of the most experienced medical men in China, Dr. DUDGEON of Pekin, in support of the Chinese house-bucket system as opposed to the underground drainage system, whether connected with water-closets or house privies. In his work on \"The Diseases of China contrasted with those of Europe,\" he says: \"Much that is recommended at home in the way of ventilation, water supply, and disinfection of privies is rendered in China unnecessary. All the advantages claimed for the dry earth system are gained here free of expense to the individual or public. The industrious and frugal habits of the...",

Dans ce dernier cas, l'Administration expéditrice a, en outre, la faculté de modifier, pour la perception, le nombre de mots qui constitue la taxe additionnelle.\n\n2. Les modifications opérées en exécution du paragraphe précédent ne s'appliquent qu'à la taxe perçue par le bureau d'origine et ne portent point altération à la répartition fixée par les dits tableaux, au profit des autres Offices intéressés. Elles doivent être réglées de telle manière que l'écart entre la taxe à percevoir pour un télégramme de quinze mots et la taxe exactement calculée d'après les tableaux, au moyen des équivalents du paragraphe suivant, ne dépasse pas le quinzième de cette dernière taxe.\n\n3.

Tout ce que l'expéditeur écrit sur la minute de son télégramme, pour être transmis, entre dans le calcul de la taxe, sauf ce qui est dit au paragraphe 8 de l'article suivant et au paragraphe 2 de l'article XX.\n\n2. Les mots, nombres ou signes ajoutés par le bureau, dans l'intérêt du service, ne sont pas taxés.\n\n3. Le nom du bureau de départ, la date, l'heure et la minute du dépôt sont inscrits d'office sur la copie remise au destinataire.\n\n4. L'expéditeur peut insérer ces indications, en tout ou en partie, dans le texte de son télégramme. Elles entrent alors dans le compte des mots.\n\nXXIII.\n\n1. Le maximum de longueur d'un mot est fixé à quinze caractères selon l'alphabet Morse ; l'excédant, toujours jusqu'à concurrence de quinze caractères, est compté pour un mot.\n\n2. Pour la correspondance extra-européenne, ce maximum est fixé à dix caractères.\n\n3. Les expressions réunies par un trait d'union sont comptées pour le nombre de mots qui servent à les former.\n\n4. Les mots séparés par une apostrophe sont comptés comme autant de mots isolés.\n\n5. Les réunions ou altérations de mots contraires à l'usage de la langue ne sont point admises. Toutefois, les noms propres de villes et de personnes, les noms de lieux, places, boulevards, etc., les titres, prénoms, particules ou qualifications, ainsi que les nombres écrits en toutes lettres, sont comptés pour le nombre de mots employés par l'expéditeur à les exprimer.\n\n6. Les nombres écrits en chiffres sont comptés pour autant de mots qu'ils contiennent de fois cinq chiffres, plus un mot pour l'excédant. La même règle est applicable au calcul des groupes de lettres. Pour la correspondance extra-européenne, le nombre de mots auquel correspond un groupe de chiffres ou de lettres, s'obtient en divisant les chiffres par trois et ajoutant, s'il y a lieu, un mot pour le reste.\n\n7. Tout caractère isolé, lettre ou chiffre, est compté pour un mot ; il en est de même du souligné.\n\n8. Les signes de ponctuation, traits d'union, apostrophes, guillemets, parenthèses, alinéas, ne sont pas comptés. Sur les lignes extra-européennes, la transmission de ces signes n'est pas obligatoire.\n\n9. Sont toutefois comptés pour un chiffre : les points et les virgules qui entrent dans la formation des nombres ainsi que les barres de division.\n\n10.

Le quart des journées de corvée est à la disposition du mandarin choisi pour patron par le corvéable, le reste à celle du roi.\n\nQuant à la justice, on aura une idée de la façon dont elle est rendue aux malheureux inscrits par la citation de ce seul article du code cambodgien : « Dans les condamnations pécuniaires, un tiers de l'amende prononcée revient au roi, le second tiers au plaignant et le troisième aux juges qui ont fixé la peine. » La peine, dit à ce sujet M. Bouinais, « sera toujours très forte; car le mandarin trouve son profit à l'élever. Les plaidoiries les plus éloquentes sont les cadeaux que les malheureux plaideurs apportent à leurs magistrats fantaisistes, et ceux-ci trouvent encore moyen d'augmenter leurs épices en faisant payer pour l'apposition du cachet destiné à garantir l'authenticité de la sentence. »\n\nL'esclavage est encore une des grandes plaies du Cambodge.\n\nLes esclaves peuvent être rangés en trois catégories, à savoir : les esclaves pour dettes; les esclaves d'État; les esclaves à vie généralement d'origine sauvage.\n\nLa législation de l'esclavage pour dettes est particulièrement abominable.\n\nLe débiteur est adjugé comme esclave au créancier quand il ne peut payer la dette contractée. Il a théoriquement le droit de se racheter, mais tout le produit de son travail appartenant au maître, il ne peut jamais faire aucun bénéfice et réunir la somme nécessaire à sa libération.\n\nLes enfants nés de parents esclaves sont esclaves aussi. Tout est calculé d'une façon si inique pour perpétuer la situation des malheureux débiteurs, que les seuls cas de libération connus sont ceux où un parent ou un ami charitable avance le montant de la rançon.\n\nLes esclaves d'État à perpétuité sont les condamnés pour certains crimes, les descendants des condamnés, et les prisonniers de guerre; ils ne peuvent se racheter que sous le bon plaisir du roi.\n\nQuant aux esclaves à vie, d'origine sauvage, ce sont des malheureux capturés dans des battues dirigées contre les tribus errantes dans les bois et les montagnes, ou achetés sur les marchés du Laos, où cette chasse à l'homme se pratique encore sur une grande échelle.\n\nOn ne sera pas surpris qu'une société ainsi soumise au despotisme le plus extravagant, en proie aux plus odieuses iniquités sociales, soit allée s'appauvrissant et se dégradant. Ce qui étonne, c'est que le Cambodge ait pu suffire jusqu'à ce jour à l'entretien du mandarinat, de la famille royale, du monarque et de son invraisemblable sérail.\n\nCeux de nos résidents qui se succédèrent de 1867 à 1876 à Oudong d'abord, puis à Phnom-Penh où Norodom porta sa capitale, furent tous frappés de ce fait que notre protection ne couvrait en définitive qu'un système d'abus monstrueux. Le pays se ruinait et se dépeuplait. Le rôle de protecteur ainsi conçu était-il digne de la France? Était-ce pour permettre à Norodom de consommer la ruine de son royaume, d'affamer son peuple au profit du harem que nos soldats avaient combattu, avaient vaincu les rebelles Assoa, Pucombo et le prince Votha? Ne manquions-nous pas à notre devoir de puissance civilisatrice en n'usant pas de l'autorité que nous donnaient sur Norodom les traités et les services rendus pour contrôler son pouvoir et exiger de lui de sérieuses réformes?\n\nCe fut la pensée du gouverneur de la Cochinchine au lendemain de la répression de l'insurrection du prince Votha. Nous venions pour la seconde fois en moins de dix années de sauver Norodom du détrônement. L'amiral Duperré et notre résident à Phnom Penh parvinrent à décider le roi à la promulgation d'un certain nombre de réformes administratives en vue de soulager les populations cambodgiennes, et d'établir une certaine régularité tant dans la perception des taxes que dans l'administration de la justice.

Il n'était que dix heures et quart du soir, et le roi, qui venait de signer une lettre, ne devait vraisemblablement point être encore couché. \n\nLes délégués du Gouverneur firent antichambre pendant trois heures, et ne furent pas reçus sous prétexte que le roi dormait, et que les lois du royaume interdisaient de le réveiller. \n\nOr, un quart d'heure après le départ des deux fonctionnaires français, les ministres étaient mandés d'urgence chez le roi. \n\nLe lendemain, 12 juin, le roi prétexta qu'il était malade pour décliner tout entretien. \n\nCette attitude blessante et ce parti-pris de résistance passive ne pouvaient être tolérés indéfiniment sans préjudice pour la dignité de la France. M. Thomson le comprit, et il prit immédiatement ses mesures en conséquence. \n\nIl manda quelques troupes de Saïgon; il mit par dépêche le Gouvernement de la République au courant de la situation, et il adressa au roi Norodom une nouvelle lettre récapitulant les incidents qui s'étaient produits depuis cinq jours et qui se terminait en ces termes : \n\n« J'ai donc le regret de constater qu'en refusant de discuter avec le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine, représentant direct du protectorat, et chargé d'une mission spéciale, les affaires du Cambodge et le projet d'une convention commerciale qui lui était présentée autant dans son intérêt que dans celui de ses sujets, Votre Majesté a manifestement violé les clauses du traité du 11 août 1863; \n\n\" \n\nQu'en refusant, à quatre reprises, d'entendre la communication d'une réponse du Gouvernement de la République qu'elle avait elle-même instamment sollicitée, et en persistant à ne pas me recevoir, Votre Majesté a voulu rompre, en fait, toutes les relations entre la France et le Cambodge, et a porté une grave atteinte à la dignité du Gouvernement français. \n\n## \n\nEn conséquence, j'ai l'honneur de faire connaître à Votre Majesté que si, demain samedi, 14 juin, à midi, je n'ai pas reçu des excuses suffisantes de l'attitude blessante qui a été prise à l'égard du représentant de la France, protectrice du Cambodge, et si, à la même heure, la convention commerciale ne m'a pas été remise signée par Votre Majesté et revêtue de son sceau, je prendrai toutes les dispositions nécessaires pour assurer le respect dû au pavillon français et remplir les obligations que nous impose l'article 16 du traité du 11 août 1863. » \n\nLe roi répondit, à la date du 14, une lettre où, après avoir coloré de divers prétextes son refus de recevoir M. Thomson et renouvelé ses banales protestations de dévouement à la France, il terminait en ces termes : \n\n« Ainsi que j'ai eu l'honneur de vous le dire, je ne veux \n\npas signer la Convention des Douanes que vous m'avez \n\nprésentée. \n\nProspérité, amitié, alliance! \n\n**NORODOM** \n\nC'était l'expression catégorique d'une opiniâtre volonté de résister à la puissance protectrice. \n\nDeux jours se passèrent encore. La situation devenait impossible. Un commencement d'agitation se manifestait; des bruits alarmants étaient mis en circulation; les mandarins de province étaient secrètement mandés à Phnom Penh; divers indices enfin, accusaient des préparatifs de fuite du roi et de la cour à Oudong. Ce départ aurait été le prélude d'une insurrection. \n\nM. le gouverneur Thomson prit le parti d'agir. \n\nIl jugea que la crise ne pouvait être dénouée que par une organisation plus précise du protectorat qui préviendrait le retour de résistances aussi peu justifiées, et qui assurerait...",

L'Alouette et trois canonnières qui avaient transporté ces troupes de Saigon mouillaient à petite distance.\n\nM. le gouverneur Thomson se présentait à six heures au palais accompagné de son chef de cabinet, du résident intérimaire, de deux aides de camp, du lieutenant de vaisseau commandant l'aviso l'Alouette, de deux officiers de ce bâtiment, et de M. Pavie, faisant fonctions d'interprète. Aucune résistance ne fut opposée, et il est absolument inexact que les troupes, comme on l'a prétendu dans certaines relations, aient dû envahir l'intérieur du palais. À la porte de la troisième enceinte, M. Thomson trouva le chef des gardiens du palais. Il demanda à être introduit auprès du roi. Un quart d'heure après, il fut reçu dans l'une des pièces de ses appartements particuliers. Le roi Norodom était étendu sur un lit de repos.\n\nLe gouverneur fit en peu de mots l'histoire des treize \n\n## \n33 \n\nN° 3482 \n\njours qui s'étaient écoulés depuis son arrivée à Phnom Penh; il insista sur le caractère blessant pour la puissance protectrice à qui Norodom devait la conservation de son trône du refus de discuter la Convention douanière, et de l'obstination à refuser une audience au représentant suprême du Protectorat; il fit ressortir l'esprit de conciliation et la longanimité dont il avait fait preuve, et il conclut en ces termes :\n\n« Le Gouvernement de la République française n'a jamais permis qu'il fût porté atteinte à sa dignité. L'injure, qui lui a été faite par le refus de discuter ses propositions et d'entendre sa réponse, est grave : je viens aujourd'hui, après avoir attendu quatre jours encore, en demander réparation.\n\n« J'exige donc des excuses et la signature d'une nouvelle convention qui, réalisant les réformes reconnues nécessaires dans l'intérêt du peuple cambodgien, démontrera à tous que la France, dont l'action protectrice, comme je l'ai déjà dit à Votre Majesté, s'étend moins sur la personne du roi que sur le royaume du Cambodge, comprend toute l'étendue des devoirs que lui impose le traité du 11 août 1863. »\n\nIl fit alors donner lecture du texte de la convention nouvelle.\n\nLe roi, qui s'était évidemment flatté jusqu'alors de nous lasser par sa résistance passive, qui se souvenait avoir tout obtenu de nous sans que nous eussions jamais exigé rien de sérieux de lui, eut peine à dissimuler sa surprise et son abattement. Il discuta encore et s'efforça d'atermoyer. Les ministres, introduits sur ces entrefaites, entendirent les explications de M. le Gouverneur, et il fut manifeste que la crainte seule des rancunes de Norodom les empêchait de se prononcer explicitement dans le sens de la résignation aux légitimes exigences du représentant de la France.\n\nLe roi ne s'y trompa pas, et il offrit de signer sur le champ la convention douanière.\n\nLe Gouverneur lui fit observer qu'il était trop tard, que",

        "content_text": "designs. In Lyndhurst Terrace, the premises of Messrs. Belilios & Co. were gay with two gas stars, and the letters V. R. E. I., also in gas, and a display of lanterns. Messrs. H. M. M. Ally & Co. had a rather novel illumination of glass lamps with coloured lustres pendant over the door and lines of small glass lamps ranged round the building. In Peel Street Messrs. R. Habibhoy & Co. had a fine gas star, flanked on either side by the letters V. R. and a large number of Japanese lanterns tastefully arranged. On the opposite side the Parsee shopkeepers had their stores illuminated with lanterns. Mr. Stringer's premises were also illuminated with coloured lanterns. The central portion of Gage Street, which is occupied by Parsee and Indian firms—viz., Messrs. Cawasjee & Co., Tharia Topan, P. F. Tolates, A. M. Apcar, Abdoolally Ebrahim & Co., H. A. Asgar and H. Esmail on one side, and on the other by Messrs. H. H. H. Faack & Co., R. Devjes, R. S. Woonwalls & Co., B. C. Vania, and Abdulcadur Esmaljee—was decorated with lanterns on both sides, and across the street something like a network of lanterns was constructed, which formed a pleasing novelty.\n\nMany of the houses in Gage Street, Hollywood Road, and other parts, which one of the unofficial members would fain see removed outside the town, were gaily decorated, in some instances with little regard for expense.\n\nThe Central Police Station and Superintendent's quarters were lighted with coloured lanterns, and Arbuthnot Road was brilliantly illuminated. The houses of the French Consul and Dr. Stewart were gay with coloured lanterns and Mr. J. A. Carvalho and Mr. J. M. Machado showed gas stars with \"V. R.\" on either side. Remedios Terrace looked most imposing, being simply but tastefully decorated with handsome Japanese lanterns, arranged to show off its arches and proportions; this terrace was conspicuous from the water and elsewhere. \"Duart,\" the residence of Mr. A. G. Romano, Consul-General for Portugal and Consul for Brazil, was ornamented by strings of lanterns round the parapet, and festoons of the same in the arches of the verandahs, while a capital gas illumination over the entrance gate added much to the effect. This consisted of a star in the centre, \"V. R.\" on the sides, the arch being outlined by gas jets and surmounted by a large crown in gas.\n\nThe Lusitano Club displayed a gas star with \"V. R.\", and the Parsee Club a device in little glass lamps of \"V. R.\" and a crown. Several houses in Old Bailey Street and Elgin Terrace were illuminated and some in Staunton Street. The Central School had a device in gas, representing a Crown with the inscription beneath \"Vivat Regina\" and four Chinese characters three feet in height on either side. The expenses connected with the illumination of this building were defrayed by the scholars attending the school.\n\nIn Caine-road, the house of Mr. Remedios and the private house of Messrs. Russell & Co. were decorated with lanterns, the garden of \"Rose Hill\" being also illuminated. The approaches to the Italian Convent were lighted up by coloured lanterns, and the Spanish Dominican Procuration made a goodly show in lanterns, the highest portion of the premises being topped with a lofty cross formed of red lanterns, which was very prominent on that level. The American Consulate was bright with many tinted lanterns, and \"Kingsclere,\" the residence of Mr. E. R. Belilios, was gay with bunting and lanterns arranged all along the handsome and massive iron railings just erected in front of the house. The next two houses and the Police Station were both decorated with Chinese and Japanese lanterns, and Mr. J. H. Smith's residence at the junction with Castle-road was profusely covered with Chinese lanterns of different colours. The two houses beyond in Castle-road were also illuminated, and a string of parti-coloured lanterns stretched all across the upper storey of West Terrace. Mr. A. J. de Rozario displayed a complete and excellent device in gas, a crown on the top, with a star beneath, in the centre being the figures \"50,\" flanked by the letters V. R. The Japanese Consulate showed the flags of England and Japan on either side of the porch, strings and festoons of lanterns, and a transparency over the gateway with the Royal Arms and motto—\"Long life to the Queen, Prosperity to the Empire.\" At Burey Lodge, the residence of Mr. H. N. Mody, there was a profuse display of lanterns ingeniously worked into a well-considered device. In the centre a crown, with likeness of the Queen below, and underneath the words in lanterns \"Long live our Queen.\" On either side of the portico were two large bunches of lanterns on frames, and the railings in front were decorated with flags and lanterns. Forest Lodge was tastefully and neatly illuminated with lanterns, and \"Dinder\" showed up well in long lines of light around the house. The Hon. C. P. Chater's residence was illuminated by white lanterns marking out the arches of the verandahs, while rows of coloured lanterns lit up the garden. \"Craigengower,\" the residence of Dr. Carvalho, and \"Idlewild,\" the residence of Mr. W. R. Loxley, were decorated with lanterns, and the London Mission and Ball's Court in Bonham Road were also illuminated.\n\nAlong Robinson Road illuminations were partial. \"Stonehenge\" was lit up by lanterns, and some fireworks were let off from this residence. \"The Bungalow\" was decorated with flags and lanterns, and \"Rocklands,\" \"Lena Cottage,\" \"Stonehaven,\" \"The Rockeries,\" \"Fernside,\" \"Excelsior,\" \"Burnside,\" and \"Cringleford\" were all illuminated with lanterns. St. Joseph's College hoisted a red cross formed of Japanese lanterns. Only one of the houses in Belilios Terrace was lighted up, but there was quite a display in a small way in Mosque-street and Junction, most of the houses showing coloured lanterns. At his residence in Seymour Terrace Mr. Hancock displayed two fine gas stars with the monogram \"V. R.,\" and in the same terrace Mr. E. J. Coxon had strings of lanterns running up his flagstaff. \"The Castle\" was also illuminated. The houses in the Albany were most of them illuminated and \"Kurrahjeon,\" the residence of Mr. J. M. Armstrong, \"As You Like It,\" the residence of Mr. First, and the Blue Bungalows were gaily lighted by coloured lanterns. Mr. Poesnecker displayed a fine five-light gas star, and several other houses on the upper levels were illuminated, among which may be mentioned \"Harperville,\" where Mr. Bruce Shepherd had a display of lanterns. The Pavilion of the Ladies' Recreation Ground was lighted up, and a string of lanterns stretched down the different tennis courts presented a conspicuous line of light to gazers from below.\n\nPage 13\n\nThe decorations were chiefly confined to the central and western districts, the Wanchai district taking little part in them, being practically cut off from the other part of the town, where the populace congregated. The illuminations at the Barracks, however, well repaid a walk some distance to the eastward. The triumphal arch at Murray Barracks we have already mentioned. The motto on one side was \"The tribute of the nations\" and on the other \"To the Wife, Mother, Queen.\" The Officers' Mess at Murray Barracks was well lit up with lanterns showing Queen Empress on the front in large letters, and \"58,\" the number of the Regiment, on the end facing the Parade Ground. North Barracks were illuminated with red, white, and blue lanterns in strings, and the barracks recently converted from Chinese houses with white and coloured Japanese lanterns. Head-quarter House formed a very prominent feature in the illuminations with its long strings of coloured lanterns running up to the flagstaff. The Naval Yard had flags over the gateway and several anchors in gold on it, lanterns along the workshops, and lanterns in strings running from the flagstaff. The Commissariat buildings were very effectively treated. \"1837 1887\" stood out in figures of gold on a red ground, with \"God save the Queen\" in white lanterns, and transparencies under the arches. The Temperance Hall was illuminated with red and white lanterns, and Ating, the contractor, made a neat display of lanterns and transparencies. The little Police Station here also contributed its quota to the general effect. The Ordnance Store had \"V. R.\" in small white lamps, a shield with field pieces for the device, and lanterns on the face of the building and among the trees. Farther on we noticed that Man Yuen compradore's shop, the French Convent, Mr. Dorabjee Nowrojee's bakery, E-Tack, contractor, several houses occupied by Europeans, and Mr. J. S. Lucas's store were all illuminated with lanterns or glass lamps. The Government School opposite the Wanchai Market was also illuminated at the expense of the pupils, and the market had an ornamental porch erected. From the upper levels we saw several masses of light, which we took to come from Morrison Hill and the East Point Sugar Refinery; and the Hon. J. Bell-Irving's and Messrs. Jardine Matheson and Co.'s junior mess were dressed with lanterns, while the Lee Yuen Sugar Refinery had a fine triangle in lanterns.\n\nIN THE HARBOUR,\n\nThe harbour was a goodly sight to see, from whatever point beheld. The fleet of steam-launches and small craft gently gliding over its surface were nearly all decked with white or coloured lanterns.\n\nPage 536\n\n10.",

        "content_text": "# 352\n\nI had a person come to me and say that the Italcover firm give bonds for the property that belonged to my husband, and further said that Matthew had told him that my advocates acquiesce with Matthew and were unfaithful to me.\n\nSome time after a sale to the property was made, a good security for the said property came to me and said Matthew was about closing the deal. On this information, on the 5th March 1883, I had a piece put in the Hong Kong Daily Press newspaper.\n\n## To Whom It May Concern\n\nMr. H. J. Falcover bought out the deceased Matthew Halconer's widow's interest in the firm of Geo. B. Halemer & Co, Watchmakers and Jewellers, Hong Kong.\n\n### Case Details\n\nMr. H. J. Halconer  \nChicago  \nUS America.\n\nAlthough my case is entirely separate from my husband's birthright claim, I was put off by Mr. Francis and the Crown Solicitor, who insisted that I must have my husband present. This I was unable to accomplish until after the death of Matthew, who died in Japan on 17th Sept 1888, and he, my husband, died a few months later in Chicago.\n\nThere can be no question that the Crown Solicitor and Mr. Francis knew that the British Government and the American Government do not uphold people in violating the laws of their country, nor persuade them to sell property that does not belong to them, or to keep on giving documents after they have been transferred by them, nor in obtaining money and goods through false pretences, be it to a great or a small amount. And yet, they did nothing to check this transgression, but looked on while I was wronged, falsified, kept from my rights, and thus reduced to poverty and want, while on the other hand, they allowed criminals to violate the laws and escape punishment.\n\nWhen I took my papers out of the Crown Solicitor's hands, I went to another law firm. I did not tell the solicitor then how long I had been in the Colony, nor that the Crown Solicitor had had my papers. He looked at the documents and papers, said they were right, and told me to come the following day, and in the meantime, he would see Bradley, the agent for his mother, and the manager of the firm. When I saw him, I asked what Matthew had to say for himself. He replied that Matthew, rather excited, said, \"What do you push her case for? Sharp would not do it, and if you law firm will, they will eventually tire out and have to leave the Colony. Her case is but one, and I can throw many suits into your hands.\"\n\nHowever, the solicitor said that if they represented in court to turn over who the bill of sale calls for, it was a clear case of obtaining money by false pretences, and the Crown Solicitor was the person who ought to have attended to it. Although he would like to see me get my rights, still he did not wish to take up a case that might cause unpleasantness between him and the Crown Solicitor.\n\nAllow me to say that the state of affairs could not happen in Chicago. There is no end to lawyers and plenty of courts. When my husband came, Mr. Huart, the U.S. Consul, entreated Mrs. Francis and Solicitor Holmes to take up my case. I saw Mr. Francis, who was only pretending and misleading; he had no intention of bringing up a case that might expose gross neglect and lay himself open for censure.\n\nI petitioned the Court under *pauperis*. The Hon. Sir Fielding Clark, Chief Justice, appointed Mr. Robinson barrister and Mr. Holmes solicitor. But after the Hon. Sir Fielding Clark's departure, matters fell back into the old groove, and Mr. ... \n\nMy last appeal was to His Excellency the Governor. Then I learned that the Falconer firm's books had been spirited away. Francis said Matthew Wilson (alias) Falconer had got all the money out of the Falconer firm and squandered it, so that there was nothing for us to get, even if we won the suit. Consequently, the barristers joined in with Mr. Francis, saying it would be a pity to take up so much of the Court's valuable time for nothing. So no barrister would sign a certain document that would give us a chance to air our claims before the Court here.\n\nMy husband's claim is ... I appeal for an investigation and to see who is in fault for allowing a man without principle, bonds, or security to get other people's property and squander it. And if my claim is established, they should be called on by the Government to make good the amount they have allowed the Halconer firm to get out of reach.\n\nNow Mr. J. J. Francis, Queen's Counsel, says that my bill of sale is good in English Law. I say it is good for what it calls for, had it been taken before a Court. Then if the Falconer firm is not good, it was not...",

        "content_text": "719\n\nEnclosure E.\n\n# METHOD OF DEALING WITH OUTBREAKS OF BUBONIC FEVER (PLAGUE)\n\n1. Notification.-All cases of infectious disease should be reported at once to the nearest Police Station or to the Sanitary Board (Telephone No. 257), or to the Medical Officer of Health (Telephone No. 120). This is compulsory on \"all persons knowing or having reason to believe that any person has been attacked by or is suffering from\" Bubonic Plague, Cholera or Small-pox (Bye-law 17, Ordinance 15 of 1894); but it is universally evaded by the Chinese and even by the Chinese \"Doctors.\" The penalty for its evasion is $25.\n\n2. Detection of the Sick.-In the absence of notification, this can only be effected by means of house-to-house visits. The Sanitary Board has power to institute such house-to-house visits in any district in which the disease may prevail and must define the limits of such district (Bye-law 25, Ordinance 15 of 1894).\n\n3. Removal of the Sick.-Ambulances for the removal of the sick are kept at the various Police Stations, at the Canton Wharf, and at the Board's matsheds at Praya East, Taipingshan, Yaumati, and Hunghom, and sick persons are removed in these ambulances to the Tung Wah Hospital on application to the Sanitary Board, the Medical Officer of Health, or the Police, and are there examined by a Chinese Doctor trained in Western medicine and are either drafted at once by him to the Plague Hospital or detained under observation in case of doubt. In making any such application, care should be taken to state distinctly whether the patient is alive or dead, for in the case of dead bodies, a dead-box is forwarded for the removal. The ambulance is attended by a Chinese constable who conveys the details concerning the case to the Hospital Authorities.\n\nHeavy wooden boxes, with rubber washers fitted to the lids, are used for the removal of dead bodies to the Government Mortuary; these are kept at the various Police Stations and at the Board's matsheds, and information concerning the death is forwarded on a card attached to the body.\n\n4. Treatment of the Sick.-This is entirely in the hands of the Medical Department. The Government Hospital at Kennedy Town is supplemented by a series of Matshed Hospitals, also at Kennedy Town, which are managed by the authorities of the Tung Wah Hospital but are under the supervision of the Medical Department.\n\n5. Disinfection of infected Premises.-This is carried out by a European officer assisted by eight coloured foremen, a Chinese foreman, and a varying number of coolies. As soon as it is known that a case of the disease has occurred at any house, a Chinese constable is sent from the nearest Police Station to detain all persons found therein (Bye-law 22, Ordinance 15 of 1894), and the officer in charge of the disinfection proceeds to the house to ascertain how many persons are detained there. He then procures, either from the matshed at Praya East or from the Disinfecting Station, as many suits of Government clothing as are needed for the persons so detained, and having thus provided these persons with clothing, he removes their own clothing, bedding, curtains, and carpets, to the Steam Disinfecting Station, the clothing being tied up in sheets dipped in a solution of Jeyes' fluid and conveyed through the streets in baskets; persons who are able to obtain new or clean clothing from some uninfected premises are, however, not detained after they have discarded their infected clothing and handed it to the Inspector for disinfection. New goods, silk clothing which has not been recently worn, furs, and leather goods are not removed to the Steam Disinfector, but must, as a general rule, remain on the premises until they have been fumigated. When the clothing, etc., is returned (in the course of some two hours) from the Disinfecting Station, the persons who have been detained are required to put on their own clothing and must then leave the premises for some 5 or 6 hours while it is disinfected and cleansed. The Government clothing is returned to the Disinfecting Station to be steamed before it is again used. The people so displaced from their homes are at liberty to make use of the Board's matshed shelters until the processes of disinfection of the premises are complete.\n\nThe disinfection of the premises consists in the spraying of the walls with a solution of perchloride of mercury (1 in 1,000) or fumigation with free chlorine obtained by the addition of diluted sulphuric acid to chlorinated lime (1 quart of a 1 in 8 solution of the acid to each lb. of the chlorinated lime). Floors and furniture are then scrubbed with a solution of Jeyes' fluid, and the walls are then lime-washed, chlorinated lime being added to the lime-wash in the proportion of 1 lb. to the gallon.\n\n6. Burial of the Dead.-This is carried out under the superintendence of one of the Board's Officers; all bodies being buried at the Kennedy Town Plague Cemetery, unless a special permit has been granted for burial elsewhere.\n\n7. General Sanitary Precautions.-Chlorinated lime is supplied to all the public latrines for use in the buckets, and the officers of the Board are instructed to see that it is freely used.\n\nA reward of 2 cents per head has been offered since January 16th for every rat brought to an officer of the Board, and some 25,000 rats have, by this means, been collected and destroyed.\n\nFRANCIS W. CLARK,\n\nMedical Officer of Health,\n\nHONGKONG, June, 1900.\n\nPage 21\n\nEnclosure F.\n\nSANITARY BOARD OFFICES,\n\nHONGKONG, 21st July, 1899.\n\nI have the honour to submit the following report for the information of the Select Committee of the Sanitary Board, appointed to consider the question of the adequacy of the present Staff.\n\nThe City of Victoria is divided into ten Health Districts, the smallest of which has a built-over area of 23 acres and the largest of 581 acres; Kowloon Peninsula is similarly divided into two Health Districts.\n\nThe average population of each of the City Health Districts is 16,425, and the average number of domestic buildings is 768, or about 2,000 floors to each district, each floor being a separate dwelling for one or more families.\n\nEach Health District is in charge of an Inspector of Nuisances, whose duties comprise the supervision of the scavenging and conservancy of that district; the scavenging work is performed by coolies, who are supplied with Dust Carts and baskets, and who work under the supervision of a Portuguese or Indian Foreman in each of the City Health Districts. Each District Inspector is required to be about his District between the hours 5:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. in the summer and 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. in the winter, to see that the scavenging work is properly carried out.\n\nDuring the forenoon, the District Inspectors are required to visit the Bakeries, Lodging Houses, Opium Divans, Offensive business premises, Laundries, Cattlesheds, Latrines, and Urinals in their District, and during the afternoon, a systematic inspection has to be made of the District, in such a manner that every floor of every house in the District is visited at least once in every two months. It is as much as the District Inspectors can manage to get this house-to-house visitation work into the two months' limit, and they are required to send in a daily report showing the houses so visited by them and a record of all the nuisances and illegal structures observed in those buildings.\n\nThere are five first-class Inspectors of Nuisances in the City of Victoria, each of whom has the supervision of two Health Districts, and the daily reports of the District Inspectors, which contain mention of nuisances or of illegal structures, are referred to them to deal with the nuisances and see that they are at once abated. The First Class Inspectors also have to supervise the six-monthly cleansing and lime-washing of all tenement houses, the investigation of all uncertified deaths, the supervision of the Chinese and non-Chinese cemeteries, the supervision of the Rubbish Depôt at Tsun Wan Bay, the supervision of the Peak Sanitary District, and the institution of all prosecutions.\n\nThe duties of the Chief Inspector of Nuisances will be mainly supervisory, and I have already arranged that he should accompany the various District Inspectors on their rounds of house-to-house visitation.\n\nI beg now to direct the attention of the Committee to the following matters which, in my opinion, cannot be adequately dealt with by the present Staff, and which, it may well be argued, are entitled to receive more attention in the future than it has been possible to give them in the past.",

        "content_text": "# Enclosure 1.\n\n## FAMINE IN KWANGSI.\n\n**Excellency** the Governor has received the following Report from Mr. Clementi, dated Kweishen, Kwongsei, April 28th :---\n\n**YOUR EXCELLENCY**-I left Ts'amchan Fú by launch at 7.15 a.m. on the 27th inst., and arrived in Kweishen shortly after 4 p.m. on the same day. The District Magistrate Ch'an King Wà received me with the greatest courtesy and during my stay here I am living in his Yamen. The Magistrate is an energetic man, 40 years of age, a native of Hongshan, thoroughly familiar with Hong-kong and Macao. He has studied Western science and methods of government with the result that he combines an enlightened effort at improvement with patriotic devotion to his country. The Magistrate tells me that he frequently walks on foot through his district city, visiting the shops and talking with the people under his administration: and this afternoon he walked with me to see the principal places of interest in Kweishen. Any petitioner is admitted directly to the presence of the Magistrate as would be the case in Hong-kong. Moreover, the Magistrate has at last succeeded in practically clearing his district of robber-bands. The Magistrate in person leads his troops to the fight; and as the result of the execution of some 2,009 robbers, bad characters have found it advisable to move elsewhere.\n\nBut the result of robber-warfare, drought, and flood is now apparent in the direct destitution. In the company of the gentry, I visited the village... this morning, where I found the people living on grass, tree leaves, and the so-called \"wooden potatoes\" of which I enclose a sample. Even those who have a little rice or 包粟 (also called ...) mix it with cooled tree-leaves in order to increase the quantity. Boys, girls, and women are sold daily at the river side. I attended such a sale this afternoon and saw babies and children handled and felt as though they were pigs come to market. Some are so thin and starved that no one will purchase them. The Magistrate informs me that at first he wished to prohibit the sale, but that when he saw that unless the children were sold both children and parents must starve, he changed his mind and allowed the sale to continue. The gentry estimate that some 10,000 children (boys and girls alike) have already been sold and that eight wives out of every ten in this district have also been sold.\n\nWith a view to the alleviation of this distress, the Magistrate and the gentry are making free distribution of gruel made from ... at various centres :-(1) Within Kwei-shen itself, daily distribution is made to upwards of 2,000 persons in the temple of Confucius. The District Magistrate went with me this afternoon to attend such a distribution which lasted from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. But when the gruel was all used up, there still remained over 190 persons who had to be turned away empty. (2) At ..., distribution is made daily to upwards of 1,000 persons; (3) At ..., where the distress is terrible, to upwards of 2,000 persons; (4) At ... to more than 1,000 persons; and at (5) 羅白灣, which I visited this morning, to 1,000 persons. The relief is admittedly insufficient to meet the demand: but the district is impoverished and money is ...\n\nHere also the pawnshops are closed.\n\nAfter consultation with the gentry and the District Magistrate, I have concluded that the best method of relieving those actually starving will be free distribution of gruel (粥 chak) made from ... at 10 centres in this district. At first, I suggested rice-gruel, but the gentry and the Magistrate agreed in declaring that ... was far more sustaining. I find also that the people are accustomed to it and that in good years Kweishen exports large quantities of ... for consumption elsewhere. It is also, I understand, considerably cheaper than rice and consequently more can be supplied. Wuhu on the Yangtze is the port from which most ... is exported: but it comes also from Tongking, and no doubt can be purchased at a reasonable price in Canton. The 10 centres agreed upon are (1) Kweishen itself; (2) 東津; (3) 橘城; (4) 木格; (5) 羅白灣; (6) 五山; (7) 覃塘; (8) 石廈墟; (9) 大墟; (10) 山西. The measure to be doled out is one quart of gruel, and the amount of ... required for this purpose at each centre is estimated at 700 catties daily, i.e., a total of 490 piculs weekly.\n\nIt was also suggested by the Magistrate and the gentry that a method of helping those who are in great distress, although not actually starving, will be to sell cheap rice within Kwei-shen itself. It was recommended that the price should be 10 cents a picul more than the cost. The additional 10 cents a picul would pay for incidental expenses, while the reconversion of rice sold into money would ensure the continuance of the supply and thereby compel the local rice-shops to reduce their prices. I think that this recommendation is worth careful consideration. The rice would be sold only in Kweishen, where the country people could come and make their purchases, in order that its sale only to the really indigent may be insured. The control should, I think, vest in two Europeans: and if Your Excellency approves of the suggestion in my letter of the 26th inst., an unpassed cadet might be appointed to co-operate with a missionary in the administration of the supply. In Kweishen, as at Tsam-chau, Cantonese is the local dialect.\n\nFrom Ts'am-chau to Kweishen, there travelled with me two representatives of the Kwong Yau Charitable Society at Canton, who had, like myself, been sent to report on the famine for the relief of which subscription has been organized by the officials and gentry at Canton, the Fáu T'oi named Teng (T) making a large contribution. On my return to Canton, I will ascertain and report the details of this attempt to relieve the Kwong Sai famine, but in the meantime, it will be easy for Your Excellency to obtain through the Tung Wa Hospital a copy of any report made by the representatives of the Kwong Yan Shin 'T'ong, who return to Canton to-morrow, together with the details of any scheme of relief formulated as the result of such report. I have arranged with the District Magistrate of Kweishen that any money contributed by the Cantonese merchants shall be used in other famine centres than those set apart for the Hongkong fund; and in any case, there is little fear that too much will be contributed, considering the enormous area of distress.\n\nHowever, in view of the fact that the Cantonese representatives have turned back at Kweishen, I have decided to push on as far as Nanning, al-\n\nPage 209",

        "content_text": "# THE FAMINE IN KWANGSI PROVINCE\n\n## Report by Mr Clementi\n\nMr. C. Clementi has written the following letter to H.E. the Governor, through whose courtesy we are enabled to publish it.\n\nTs'am Chau-tu, Kwong Sai,  \n29th April, 1903.\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nI left Hongkong by s.s. Kong Chau on the 21st inst., reaching Canton at 6 a.m. the following morning. I left Canton at 8 a.m. the same day by the s.s. Sinem, reaching Wuchow at 4 p.m. on the 23rd inst. I had no time while in Canton to call upon the Consul General, but I hope to do so on my way back. Perhaps meanwhile Your Excellency will be good enough to inform him of the mission upon which you have sent me. At Wuchow, I called upon Mr. Fox, the British Consul, and on his advice proceeded without delay to Ts'am Chau, the prefectural town, which I understand the Chinese authorities propose to make the capital of this province.\n\nI left Wuchow by launch at 5 a.m. on the 24th, and arrived at Ts'am Chau at 8.30 a.m. next morning, accompanied by Mr R. A. Jaffray (of the Christian and Missionary Alliance of New York). We were met by Mr J. E. Fee, of the same mission, who resides in Ts'am Chau. The first sight I saw on entering the town was a man lying in the street actually dying but not quite dead, whom two men were picking up with a rope to carry off to bury. The same morning, walking round the city wall, I saw another man's dead body, and a little later I also saw the burial, which consisted in throwing the uncoffined body into a small pit dug just outside the city wall and filling up the pit with earth. The sights I have seen since my arrival have appalled me, and I am not astonished that the Chinese should now call Ts'am Chau a dead place.\n\nYesterday was a market day, and therefore there was no distribution, for two reasons—(1) that the number of people coming into the town on such a day would be more than the present relief fund can cope with, and (2) that a number of fairly well-to-do impostors might be expected to apply for rice on the market days. Accordingly, I employed my afternoon in walking through the neighbouring country. The destitution actually existing there now is terrible. The people have first sold their goods and chattels, then their farming implements, next the water-buffaloes with which they ploughed their fields, then the tiles off the roofs of houses, then their daughters, sons, and finally even their wives. The farmsteads are bare walls, empty of anything save little dirty straw on which to lie.\n\nThis state of absolute destitution can only go on increasing until the next rice harvest, which is due at the end of July, and the one ray of hope is that this harvest promises well. It is true that in many cases the farmers have had no rice to plant, and that a number of fields are lying fallow, but on the whole I should be inclined to think, from my inspection of the surrounding country, that the next rice crop will go far to relieve distress in the neighbourhood of Ts'am Chau. The rain which has fallen and continues to fall is most seasonable, and the spirit of the people is admirable. The farmers yoke themselves to their own ploughs to turn up their fields, and make the utmost of any help extended to them. It must be borne in mind that the present famine is not due to any lack of exertion on their part, but to the failure of the second harvest in 1901 on account of drought, of the first harvest in 1902 on account of drought also, and of the second harvest in 1902 because of flood and drought combined. The aim must therefore be to support starving people until the end of next July, and any estimates will have to be framed for the present on this basis.\n\nFamine work began in Ts'am Chau systematically on 4th March last by the Alliance Mission under the superintendence of Mr Fee (Canadian), assisted by Mrs Fee, his wife, and by Mr H. Zehr (American), also of the Alliance Mission. The fund was constituted entirely by private subscriptions, which on the 25th inst. had aggregated a total sum of $32,105.58, but at the present time these subscriptions come in fitfully and in small sums, making the anxiety of the distributors great. To-day Mr Fee is left with money only sufficient for one day's supply. Rice has hitherto necessarily been bought locally in Ts'am Chau at the local rates, e.g., on the 11th inst. 15 piculs cost $90 Mex. and on the 23rd inst. 10 piculs cost $59.45 Mex. It is probable that with free transport and freedom from duty assured, the rice can be bought more cheaply at Hongkong, and forwarded via Wuchow to the distributing centres.\n\nThe Chinese authorities have left Mr Fee the Man Shau Kung or Emperor's Temple as the place for distribution. Here the indigent collect together from dawn till noon, when the gates are closed and distribution commences of rice (uncooked) and rice-gruel (cooked). It is the aim of the distributors to give if possible two tickets to each of the starving people; with one ticket they can obtain the gruel for immediate consumption, while with the other they obtain a measure of rice for their own use, either to be eaten as rice or to be turned into gruel. Each measure of rice given out contains 4.5oz., while the rice gruel is doled out by the quart. I attended this afternoon at a distribution to 4,197 persons and 6,084 tickets issued, the actual amount of rice issued being 19 piculs. Nothing is given on market days, i.e., every third day, and Mr Fee suggests (and I agree in the suggestion) that if the quantity of rice on hand is sufficient, the measure issued should be increased and the distribution at the Man Shau Kung made only once in three days. This will enable the people to come in from the countryside and thereby extend the relief area, while at the same time it will lessen the labour of distribution, which is very heavy. The actual distribution to-day lasted from 1.8 p.m. to 5 p.m.; the distribution must be made in the middle of the day in order to enable the people to return home or at least to get shelter for the night. The cooking of the gruel, etc., takes time but need not involve any expenditure, as thousands would only be too thankful to work and to cook for their rice and a night's shelter.\n\nPage 28005  \nPage 211",

        "content_text": "# MEMORANDUM\n\nThe following is the result of an experiment undertaken by me to ascertain how far it might be possible to enlist the co-operation of the Chinese inhabitants in the endeavour to deal with annually recurring epidemics of plague.\n\n2. To understand the reasons that impelled me to undertake this work, it is necessary to remember that for ten years Hongkong has been scourged by this disease; that no efforts of sanitation have so far decreased its incidence or diminished its virulence; and that the proportion of cases found \"damped\" in the streets or on the hillsides increased from 25.1% in 1898 to 32.7% in the present year.\n\n3. The increase in the practice of thus depositing dead bodies I attribute to the dread of the disinfecting process as carried out by the Sanitary Authorities. The process is explained as follows in the memorandum drawn up June, 1900, by the Medical Officer of Health:\n\n## Disinfection of Infected Premises\n\nDisinfection of infected premises.-This is carried out by a European officer, assisted by eight coloured foremen, a Chinese foreman, and a varying number of coolies. As soon as it is known that a case of the disease has occurred at any house, a Chinese constable is sent from the nearest Police Station to detain all persons found therein (Bye-law 22, Ordinance 15 of 1891), and the officer in charge of the disinfection proceeds to the house to ascertain how many persons are detained there. He then procures, either from the matshed at Praya East or from the Disinfecting Station, as many suits of Government clothing as are needed for the persons so detained, and, having thus provided these persons with clothing, he removes their own clothing, bedding, curtalus, and carpets, to the Steam Disinfecting Station, the clothing being tied up in sheets dipped in a solution of Jeyes' fluid, and conveyed through the streets in baskets; persons who are able to obtain new or clean clothing from some uninfected premises are, however, not detained after they have discarded their infected clothing and handed it to the Inspector for disinfection. New goods, silk clothing which has not been recently worn, furs, and leather goods are not removed to the Steam Disinfector, but must as a general rule remain on the premises until they have been fumigated. When the clothing, etc., is returned (in the course of some two hours) from the Disinfecting Station, the persons who have been detained are required to put on their own clothing, and must then leave the premises for some 5 or 6 hours while it is disinfected and cleansed. The Government clothing is returned to the Disinfecting Station to be steamed before it is again used. The people so displaced from their homes are at liberty to make use of the Board's matshed shelters until the processes of disinfection of the premises are complete. The disinfection of the premises consists in the spraying of the walls with a solution of perchloride of mercury (1 in 1,000) or fumigation with free chlorine obtained by the addition of diluted sulphuric acid to chlorinated lime (1 quart of a 3 in 8 solution of the acid to each lb of the chlorinated lime). Floors and furniture are then scrubbed with solution of Jeyes' fluid, and the walls are then lime-washed, chlorinated lime being added to the lime-wash in the proportion of 1 lb to the gallon.\n\nIt will be observed that on receipt of information of the death of a person, a Policeman is at once placed in charge of the house, and all the inmates found therein are detained until their clothes are disinfected. This detention may be for 24 hours; but in many cases, it may be for 48 hours, as if the body is removed to the mortuary after the Government officer engaged in examination of bodies received has left for the day, no report can be received until after the examination of the bodies next day. The house is then disinfected by scrubbing the furniture and spraying the walls, while the clothing is sent to the Disinfecting Station.\n\nPage 227",

Il a été formellement convenu que l'opération de rachat du Hankéou-Pékin ne constituerait pas un précédent; il s'agissait du règlement d'une affaire engagée et non de la conclusion d'une opération nouvelle destinée à servir de type à l'avenir. L'état d'esprit de la Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank, qui consiste à accepter n'importe quelles conditions pour ne laisser échapper aucune affaire, est destructeur des intérêts bien entendus des deux pays; la Chine a de trop gros besoins d'argent pour se brouiller avec les marchés de Londres et de Paris, et, en toute hypothèse, même si elle réalise en dehors d'eux quelques tranches d'emprunt, cela ira d'autant moins loin que l'argent insuffisant, emprunté sans affectation ni surveillance, sera détourné de son objet et rapidement dissipé. L'entente à égalité entre la British and Chinese Corporation et le groupe français, relativement au Hankéou-Canton, doit être respectée par la Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank le jour où l'opération se présente pratiquement; ce sont les représentants de ces groupes qui doivent négocier l'affaire; la loyauté le demande et l'intérêt des parties l'exige. On peut trouver une forme ménageant les susceptibilités chinoises et répondant aux exigences légitimes réciproques des contractants.\n\nSur le second point (la participation allemande), nous estimons que cette hypothèse ne devrait pas entrer en ligne de compte et que ce serait de la Hong Kong Bank qu'il appartiendrait d'expliquer à ses associés allemands que les hypothèses prévues par leur accord ne visent pas le cas actuel; nous ne pouvons qu'être surpris de l'initiative prise par Mr. Addis d'aviser le groupe allemand avant toute conversation avec le groupe français, et de son consentement à une participation par tiers, découvrant ainsi le groupe français pour tenter de lui forcer la main en rejetant sur lui le refus d'une participation allemande.\n\nLa Banque allemande n'a aucun titre à participer à cette affaire spéciale, pour laquelle la France et l'Angleterre ont des droits équivalents, la France ayant construit le Hankéou-Pékin et l'Angleterre ayant prêté à Tchang Tche Tong l'argent nécessaire pour racheter la Concession américaine.\n\nToutefois, malgré la valeur des considérations qui précèdent, pour éviter de donner un refus de participation allemande la signification politique que risque de lui donner la position prise par Mr. Addis dans la question, en se mettant d'accord avec les Allemands sous réserve de l'acceptation française, avant même de consulter le groupe français, nous ne nous refuserons pas à chercher à cet égard même un terrain d'entente. La Hong Kong Bank a promis à la Banque allemande la moitié de ses emprunts en Chine de par son entente avec la France; elle a droit à la moitié de l'emprunt relatif au Hankéou-Canton. C'est donc un quart qu'elle peut offrir au groupe allemand, la France étant prête à désarmer de son côté la concurrence belge (bien plus justifiée en l'espèce par la part qu'elle a prise et les droits qu'elle conserve) en l'intéressant à l'affaire.\n\nCeci nous amène au troisième point (effacement complet des Français et des Allemands devant le groupe anglais pour tous les avantages de l'opération à l'exception de la fourniture des capitaux). Il est difficile à comprendre que Mr. Addis, qui a signé une entente spéciale avec le groupe des banques françaises pour l'affaire du Hankéou-Canton en stipulant le partage par moitié de tous les avantages éventuels moraux et matériels, sous réserve de la voix prépondérante d'un Président anglais, vienne formuler une pareille prétention le jour où l'affaire se négocie et nous propose de nous contenter de fournir un tiers de l'argent dans des conditions d'ailleurs très médiocrement rémunératrices.\n\nMr. Addis cherche à justifier son point de vue en l'appuyant sur l'engagement qu'il a signé le 24 février 1908, avec M. Simon, d'après lequel les Anglais occuperaient dans le Hankéou-Canton la position que les Français occuperaient dans le Hankéou-Pékin, chacun s'engageant à ne pas concurrencer l'autre.\n\nMais, tout d'abord, cet échange de vues n'avait eu lieu qu'en raison d'une information de Mr. Bland, représentant Tchang Tche Tong comme décidé à ne traiter qu'avec les Anglais et à refuser au groupe français de figurer et signer au contrat du Hankéou-Canton; une démarche catégorique de M. Bapst près de Tchang Tche Tong a montré l'inexactitude de cette donnée, le Vice-Roi ayant, ainsi que le Kouai-wou Pou, déclaré \"que si la British and Chinese Corporation exprimait le désir formel de s'associer un groupe français et de voir celui-ci signer le contrat d'emprunt, le Gouvernement chinois se rendrait immédiatement à ce désir\"; s'il subsistait quelque doute à cet égard, nous sommes prêts à demander officiellement confirmation de cette déclaration au Gouvernement chinois.\n\nL'engagement du 24 février s'est, d'ailleurs, trouvé sans objet, puisque le négociateur anglais du contrat de rachat du Hankéou-Pékin a été hors d'état de faire obtenir à l'élément français aucune des garanties envisagées par rapport à la nationalité française de l'Ingénieur-Directeur, du Comptable-Contrôleur, et du maintien du personnel français sur la ligne. On ne peut considérer le fait d'avoir gratuitement consenti à introduire le groupe anglais à égalité dans l'emprunt de rachat du Hankéou-Pékin, affaire française à laquelle il n'avait en aucune part, comme devant nous priver du bénéfice de l'entente signée à égalité entre Français et Anglais pour l'affaire du Hankéou-Canton.\n\nJ'ajoute que cet Arrangement n'a été signé que par M. Simon pour la Banque de l'Indo-Chine, et par Mr. Addis pour la Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank, et qu'il n'engage ni la Chinese Central, ni le groupe spécial qui s'est lié avec la British and Chinese Corporation pour le Hankéou-Canton.\n\nEnfin, il n'y avait jamais été question des commandes industrielles, et le bon sens l'indique suffisamment, puisque le Hankéou-Pékin, chemin de fer construit, n'en comporte que d'insignifiantes, tandis que le Hankéou-Canton, chemin de fer à construire, représente des possibilités considérables à cet égard; en fait il n'avait été stipulé aucune balance entre un soi-disant abandon aux Français des commandes pour le Hankéou-Pékin et un désintéressement analogue des Français pour les avantages industriels éventuels dans le Hankéou-Canton.\n\nEn réalité, ce qui domine toute la question, c'est l'Accord signé à Londres le 18 octobre 1906, par M. Simon et Mr. Addis, en vertu duquel un groupe français représenté par la Banque de l'Indo-Chine et composé de la Banque de l'Indo-Chine, du Comptoir National d'Escompte de Paris, de la Société Générale, de la Régie Générale des Chemins de Fer, de la Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas, et de MM. H., J., et S. Bardac, est associé à la British and Chinese Corporation pour poursuivre l'obtention de la Concession et du Chemin de Fer Hankéou-Canton.\n\nIl a été entendu que, dans le cas où cette Concession serait obtenue, ou dans le cas où un emprunt relatif à ce chemin de fer serait conclu, tous les avantages qui en découleraient seraient partagés par moitié entre le groupe français et le groupe anglais.\n\nNous nous en tenons à cette entente.\n\nMr. Addis, à qui ces points de vue ont été développés, est parti pour Berlin le mercredi 27 janvier, sans attendre la réponse définitive que devait lui faire M. Simon au nom des intéressés. Cette réponse se résume dans les termes suivants :----\n\n\"Nous demandons l'exécution de l'entente franco-anglaise à égalité d'avantages qui a été la base du Chinese Central et de l'Accord du 18 octobre 1906, pour le Hankéou-Canton; Mr. Bland négocierait à Pékin au nom des deux groupes un contrat liant ou ne liant pas les questions industrielles aux questions financières, mais assurant des avantages industriels en même temps que des garanties financières.\"\n\nSi cette proposition était déclinée par Mr. Addis, refusant de tenir les engagements pris, le Gouvernement français aurait à examiner s'il ne devrait pas reprendre toute sa liberté d'action, et courir les chances de la libre concurrence à Pékin en opposant aux offres des groupes anglais le droit de préférence que possède pour la construction du Hankéou-Canton la Société qui a construit le Hankéou-Pékin. On ne saurait oublier que si le groupe anglais s'est décidé en 1906 à faire une entente avec le groupe français à égalité pour le Hankéou-Canton, c'est après s'être rendu compte des inconvénients de la concurrence du groupe français.\n\nLes deux Gouvernements ont d'ailleurs un égal intérêt à ne pas laisser la Hong Kong Bank engager les finances anglaises dans la voie des emprunts sans garanties, et dans le sens d'une entente anglo-allemande en opposition avec la finance française et contraire au rapprochement de l'Angleterre et de la France.\n\nEn premier lieu il nous paraît très important d'arrêter le Directeur de la Hong Kong Bank dans la voie des \"financial loans\" purs et simples; si les banques ont une propension bien explicable à préférer un tel emprunt qui leur réserve des bénéfices supérieurs immédiats et sans aléas, les risques étant supportés par les ... \n\n## Page 522",

Simon argues, for the French Government to maintain their refusal of Russian participation while granting it to America.\n\nTherefore they declare themselves opposed to any extension of our Anglo-German-French agreement, and propose to confine America's share to financial participation in the Hankow-Szechuan line.\n\nThis is, of course, logical, but it seems a curious reversal of the original French plan of excluding the Americans from the Hankow-Szechuan line while welcoming them to participation in the future.\n\nAltogether the situation grows more complicated, and I do not see how it is to be cleared until the American representatives arrive to discuss the matter with us; at present we are only dealing with an abstraction.\n\nYours truly,\nC.

Concur entirely with your suggestions. Writing to-night.\"\n\nIl est bien entendu, comme le spécifie votre lettre du 15 juin, que la protestation anglo-française contre l'intervention des Américains vise aussi bien les prolongements et embranchements de la ligne du Szetchuen que la section de cette ligne prévue dans le contrat de 5,500,000£.\n\nJe partage, d'autre part, entièrement l'avis exprimé par votre second télégramme du 16 juin, qu'il y a lieu d'attendre le résultat de cette protestation avant de rien céder aux Américains.\n\nEnfin, j'estime que, le cas échéant, on peut acquiescer à l'arrangement proposé par nos représentants à Pékin, c'est-à-dire, accorder aux Américains un quart de la partie financière de l'opération concernant la ligne du Szetchnen. Cette participation devrait naturellement leur être donnée par un accord séparé, car nous ne pouvons admettre aucune modification au contrat actuellement paraphé, ce serait un précédent détestable. Mais ceci constitue la limite extrême des concessions auxquelles nous serions disposés, et, pas plus que vous, nous ne pouvons envisager la possibilité d'accorder en outre aux Américains une participation dans la commande du matériel, la nomination des ingénieurs, &c.\n\nPleinement d'accord avec M. Caillaux et avec le Ministre des Affaires Étrangères sur tous ces points, nous le sommes encore sur ceci : qu'on ne peut pour l'avenir conclure un accord général avec les États-Unis—transformer, en un mot, l'entente anglo-franco-allemande en une entente à quatre, et même en une entente à cinq, six, ou plus. Notre Gouvernement a en effet été approché déjà du côté russe, où on a demandé une place dans l'entente. Une fin de non-recevoir a été opposée; mais comment la maintenir si on cédait aux Américains?",

Tout au plus les financiers pourraient-ils envisager, comme concession extrême, en échange des vagues droits mis en avant par les Américains, d'accorder à leur groupe un quart de la partie de l'emprunt affecté à la ligne du Ssetchuen. \n\nLes bases d'une entente entre le groupe américain et le consortium anglo-franco-allemand pour les futures affaires en Chine pourraient ensuite être discutées entre les intéressés; si une telle négociation s'engageait, le Gouvernement français ne ferait pas d'opposition aux pourparlers de ses nationaux avec le groupe américain. \n\n[2317 cc]",

Simon to Mr. Addis.—(Communicated by Mr. Addis June 28.)\n\nCher M. Addis,\n\n20, Avenue Friedland, Paris, le 27 juin, 1909.\n\nJE profite du dimanche, puisqu'il fait très mauvais, pour vous résumer de quelle façon je comprends notre situation dans cette malheureuse affaire, à la suite de l'intervention américaine.\n\nVoici d'abord quelle est l'opinion de notre Gouvernement, aussi bien des Affaires Étrangères que de M. Caillaux.\n\nIls considèrent que la démarche des Américains n'est pas justifiée. D'abord, en ce qui concerne le Hankéou-Canton, les Américains ont eu l'affaire une première fois, et non seulement ils ne l'ont pas faite, mais ils l'ont rétrocédée avec un gros bénéfice. Ils ne peuvent donc avoir aucune prétention de ce côté. En ce qui concerne le Szetchuen, ils allèguent que la Chine leur a fait des promesses, et a même pris des engagements envers eux. Mais les Affaires Étrangères disent que toutes les Puissances sont dans le même cas, et que notamment, en dehors des Anglais, on a fait aussi des promesses à la France.\n\nCependant, dans un but d'appaisement, et pour faciliter à la Chine la conclusion de l'affaire, on pense qu'on pourrait accorder aux Américains un quart de l'affaire du Szetchuen, c'est-à-dire, actuellement, un quart de 2,500,000, mais simplement pour la partie financière, et en excluant le matériel et le choix de l'ingénieur.\n\nCeci est pour le passé.\n\nPour l'avenir, on n'aurait aucune objection à ce que les Américains participent aux affaires futures dans les mêmes conditions que les Anglais, les Allemands, et les Français, mais dans ce cas les emprunts ne pourraient être internationaux, et chaque marché ne coûterait que la franche émise par lui.\n\nVoilà l'opinion de notre Gouvernement. Je ne la partage pas tout à fait. D'abord, je suis convaincu que les Américains ne se contenteront pas de 25 pour cent de 2,500,000 seulement, en excluant le matériel. Puis, je crois qu'ils voudront en plus des engagements pour l'avenir.\n\nC'est pourquoi je persiste à croire que nous avons intérêt à signer le plus tôt le \"General Railway\" et le \"Financial Agreement,\" de façon à mettre les Américains ou d'autres en présence du fait accompli. Nous serons alors beaucoup plus forts pour leur résister, même si après coup nous devons leur concéder quelque chose.\n\nPour le présent je crois que nous devons nous en tenir à la proposition de M. Urbig dans son télégramme du 24.\n\nJe n'attends aucun résultat de l'intervention des Gouvernements à Washington. J'ignore dans quel sens a été faite la protestation anglaise. Mais on m'a affirmé que la protestation allemande avait été faite en termes très vagues, et pas du tout énergiques. Quant à nous, le Gouvernement a considéré qu'il n'avait pas qualité pour agir directement auprès du Gouvernement américain. Il s'est donc borné à télégraphier à notre Ambassadeur à Washington que, si le Gouvernement américain le saisissait de la question, il devait être très ferme et très catégorique. Et c'est ce qui a eu lieu en réalité. Notre Ambassadeur a insisté sur le fait que les Américains s'étaient retirés eux-mêmes du Hankéou-Canton, que dans l'affaire du \"Chinese Central” on leur avait officiellement offert une participation, qu'ils ont déclinée; et, enfin, qu'il n'était pas correct qu'ils interviennent à Pekin, à la dernière heure, alors que des négociations sont ouvertement poursuivies depuis plus de six mois, au vu et au su de tout le monde. Mais, je vous le répète, il y a un parti pris des Américains, dont nous aurons beaucoup de peine à venir à bout. En tous cas, je suis convaincu que nous n'en sortirons pas sans une conférence avec les représentants du Syndicat américain. A ce propos, un de nos amis a vu hier à Paris M. Otto Kuhn, de la maison Kuhn et Loeb. M. Kuhn lui a dit qu'il resterait à Paris jusqu'au 15 juillet, mais que cependant il aurait à aller à Londres la semaine prochaine pour une réunion au sujet des chemins de fer chinois. Il se prépare donc quelque chose à ce sujet.\n\n[2317 ee-6]",

        "content_text": "## Page 478\n\n2\n\nIt follows from the correspondence that the following points have been settled with the consent of all parties:\n\n1. The American group to have a participation of one-quarter of the total loan of $6,000,000, with corresponding banking privileges and share in commission on materials.\n2. American materials to have the same preference as is given to British, French, and German in the loan agreement.\n3. Americans to have one-half participation in any supplementary loan for the Hupeh section of the Hankow-Szechuen Railway.\n\nThe principal points which remain undetermined are:\n\n1. The proportion which the American group are to receive in the future loan or loans required to complete the Szechuen Railway to Chengtu and Chungking.\n2. The question of the appointment of an American chief engineer for any part of this line.\n3. The internationalisation of the loan and share in preliminary expenses.\n\nAs regards No. 1, the question involved has not yet arisen in the negotiation. As regards No. 2 (engineer), it was assumed by the British group from Mr. Hillier's telegram of the 11th that the Americans did not claim the right to appoint a chief engineer for any part of the line, and accordingly, in giving assent to the propositions made in Mr. Hillier's telegram of the 11th, they limited themselves to expressing the hope that the arrangement come to at Berlin on the 14th May would not be disturbed. The Banque de l'Indo-Chine, in giving M. Casenave authority to conclude the agreement on the basis of Mr. Hillier's telegram, added: \"Efforcez-vous d'obtenir qu'arrangements avec Américains reconnaissent accords intervenus à Berlin relative-ment à notre droit nomination d'ingénieur.\" Subsequently, from representations received from Paris, it seemed necessary to emphasise this point more strongly, and accordingly the Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank wired to Peking on the 18th August enquiring whether we were to understand that the Americans renounced claim to appoint a chief engineer for the whole of the Szechuen Railway. The reply to that informed us that the question had never been raised, whereupon we wired again on the 19th, stating that the Chinese Central Railways (Limited) and the French group assumed that the nomination of chief engineers for the Ichang-Chengtu line would remain as arranged at Berlin on the 14th May, and requested Mr. Hillier to inform the Americans. To this last wire, we have so far received no reply to say what attitude the Americans adopt on the question.\n\nThe general attitude of the English committee was expressed in a memorandum forwarded by Mr. Addis to M. de la Chaume on the 11th August, the gist of which was that if it is absolutely necessary to have a readjustment of the allotment of engineers as settled at Berlin on the 14th May, then all three groups - German, French, and British - ought to give way equally all round, and to this we adhere. It is understood that the French group would be prepared to acquiesce in this plan of adjustment, which would mean that the whole Szechuen line would be divided into four sections of something like 600 kilom. each (instead of three sections of 800 kilom.) and engineered by German, American, French, and English respectively. It is also understood, unfortunately, that the German group will on no account agree to give up any part of their Hupeh section, and hence we seem to be face to face with another deadlock unless the Americans agree to renounce all claim, or unless some other way can be found out of the difficulty.\n\nAs regards No. 3, it is proposed to stipulate that the bonds issued on one market shall not be good delivery in the market of any other of the contracting parties without the consent of all the parties to the agreement. It is also proposed that the preliminary expenses shall be shared by the four groups.\n\nWith reference to your suggestion for a meeting of the full Board, my colleagues and myself would, of course, be pleased to meet you any time, but it does not appear that at present it would serve any good purpose, and I would suggest therefore that a meeting should stand over till negotiations are further advanced in Peking. It is possible that a meeting of the four groups - English, French, German, and American - may require to be held at an early date.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW.

Pichon containing his observations on the recent proposals made by His Majesty's Government in regard to the international railway loan in China.\n\nM. Pichon states that the French Government have no objection to the participation of the Americans in the loan, and are ready to join with the other Powers in endeavouring to obtain from the Chinese Government an engagement respecting the construction of the whole of the Szechuan line.\n\nHe considers, however, that it is unlikely that either the American, German, or French groups will be satisfied with a fourth of the Szechuan line while the British group possesses, in addition to their fourth, the direction of the first section of the Hankow-Canton line. The condition of the new agreement must be a strict equality of advantages. His Excellency further points out that it may be difficult to exclude Russia and Japan from the new combination. He concludes by stating that the French Government are ready to join with His Majesty's Government, on the basis of equality of advantages, in the steps taken for obtaining a contract for the construction of the different lines in China.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nL. D. CARNEGIE,\n\n### Inclosure in No. 1\n\n**Aide-mémoire by M. Pichon**\n\nPAR une note remise par l'Ambassadeur d'Angleterre à Paris le 8 septembre courant, le Gouvernement anglais a proposé, en vue de mettre fin à la stagnation des négociations pour l'emprunt international des chemins de fer en Chine, que les groupes anglais, français, et allemand admettent la participation du groupe américain et divisent la ligne du Setchuen de Hankéou à Tehentou en quatre sections égales. Les intéressés devraient obtenir préalablement du Gouvernement chinois soit la construction de la ligne totale, soit une garantie de s'adresser aux quatre Puissances pour le capital nécessaire à l'extension au delà d'Itchang.\n\nLe Gouvernement français, si les Gouvernements anglais et allemand estiment impossible la signature définitive du contrat dans les conditions où il a été paraphé, n'élèvera pas d'objections à la participation américaine. Il se joindra également à toute démarche des Puissances pour obtenir du Gouvernement de Pékin un engagement concernant la construction de la ligne entière du Setchuen, tout en ne se dissimulant pas la difficulté d'obtenir que le Gouvernement chinois s'y décide et passe outre à l'opposition provinciale.\n\nIl doit toutefois attirer l'attention du Gouvernement anglais sur les conséquences d'un remaniement du contrat en discussion qui plaçait sous la direction d'un ingénieur anglais la construction des 900 premiers kilomètres du Hankéou-Canton, et sous la direction d'un ingénieur allemand la construction des 800 premiers kilomètres de la ligne du Setchuen (les contractants ayant convenu que la construction des 800 kilomètres suivants de la ligne du Setchuen serait réservée à un ingénieur français, pour maintenir l'égalité entre les trois groupes).\n\nL'égalité stricte des avantages devant être la condition du nouveau contrat, il n'y a pas apparence que les groupes américain, allemand, ou français consentiraient à se contenter d'un quart de la ligne du Setchuen, tandis que le groupe anglais ajouterait à sa part la direction de la première section de la ligne Hankéou-Canton.",

S. Addis to Foreign Office.--(Received October 18.)\n\nDear Sir Francis,\n\nHong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation,  \n31, Lombard Street, London, October 18, 1909.\n\nIN continuation of my memorandum of the 15th October, I should like to add that the separation of the Hankow-Canton and Hankow-Szechuan contracts, as a condition precedent to the French acceptance of American participation in the latter, was laid down by the French themselves in their letter to me of the 12th August in the following terms:---\n\n\"Il nous semble préférable de reconnaître aux Américains, non un droit d'un quart dans le présent emprunt, mais un droit d'une moitié sur la fraction de cet emprunt destinée au Szetchuen. Cette modification ne peut donner lieu à aucune difficulté de leur part, puisque les avantages matériels à eux concédés ne seraient pas changés, et elle présente au point de vue du principe une importance sur laquelle il n'est pas besoin d'insister.\"\n\nThis was subsequently confirmed by a letter dated the 20th August :-\n\n\"De cette correspondance il résulte que nous sommes entièrement d'accord sur les points suivants : La concession faite aux Américains dans le présent emprunt porte non sur le quart du total, mais sur une moitié de la fraction destinée à la Ligne du Szetchuen.\"\n\nLastly, the identity of Anglo-French interests was emphasised by a letter dated the 13th August :--\n\n\"Certes, je suis entièrement d'accord avec vous sur les principes qu'elle énonce : le Chinese Central Railways, société anglo-française, doit vis-à-vis de nos amis allemands être considérée as one body speaking with one voice, et nous devons, les uns comme les autres, résister à toutes tentatives de mettre en opposition les intérêts français et anglais dans les affaires de la société.”\n\nI need only add, by way of encouragement to the French to stand firm, that Hillier writes in his letter of the 27th September, \"The Germans seem to be getting accustomed to the idea of giving up a part of their section.\"\n\nYours truly,\n\nC.

        "content_text": "## TerTwpnsell grasilit\n\nAs the revenue raised by this tax was found to be inadequate for the needs of the Colonial revenue, the Colonial Government enacted on 16th March, 1911, that the rebate should cease to be paid to His Majesty's Forces from 1st January, 1911, and, moreover, that the duties on liquor should be further considerably increased.\n\nOne result of this legislation is that the price of beer in all canteens must be raised to 17 cents (the equivalent of 3td.) per pint, and that the price of all other alcoholic liquors consumed by His Majesty's Forces is raised above that prevailing in 1909 by approximately 1/- (one shilling) per reputed quart bottle.\n\nAnother obvious result of the unforeseen abolition of the rebate by enactment on 16th March, with retrospective effect from the 1st January, 1911, is that regimental funds have now to make good the expenditure incurred in grants to extra messing and recreation in anticipation of the receipt of the rebate for the quarter ending 31st March, 1911. As regards the future, moreover, the soldier will have to pay about twice as much per pint for his beer as he does at home, and the Officer a much enhanced price for any liquor he consumes; this will certainly not tend to make service in the Colony more popular.\n\nShould the increasing needs of the Colonial budget necessitate further increase of taxation in the future, the conditions of service of His Majesty's Forces in this Colony will be even more seriously affected for the worse than they now are; in which connection I would point out that Officers are in a worse position financially than Civilians drawing their income in the Colony, as the former pay Income Tax to the Imperial Government in addition to local taxation, while the latter are totally exempt from this deduction from their earnings. Those officers who are not accommodated in Government quarters pay the ordinary colonial house tax as well as their Imperial income tax.\n\nUnder these circumstances, I submit that if the principle is to be accepted that taxes for the purpose of raising revenue...\n\n# See Jonc. 1 in Gove's.

        "content_text": "## \nthey reached a new wall attitude on the blank on wither side. \n\nIn `30841/10` Mr Beale summonsed the various possibilities of the case, a new off the probable inference of the Chinese authorities. It is shown that mutual quart of murning powers on each country's line is out of the question. The Chinese declare for a \"working agreement\", but it is obviously impossible that by working agreement can sufficiently provide for all contingencies, and it seems as much as some friction is likely to arise as a result. This solution comes from a wonder joint board where differences of opinion can be ventilated and modified by listening to the argument on the other side. The Chinese insist on the ground that differences of opinion will lead to diplomatic interferences and contest. They will not modify the Chinese national line, or their section of it, as it is evident that they regard this objection as insufferable.\n\nI should like to suggest a board with the possibility of having a permanent board of 4 (two representatives from both sides) together with a further representative of either party, such third representative to be present at the meetings but whose vote should only be effective as regards the section of the line belonging to his government; i.e., discussion having produced a plan which is live, the vote should take place as regards its effect on the Chinese section or its effect on the British section. In each case, the Govt concerned would have the final say, and vice versa.\n\nThis method of there being three representatives on each side would doubtless produce deadlocks, but it would remove the Chinese objection to a joint control, and business men might occasionally come to an agreement by this means. At any rate, the managements on either side would meet one another.\n\nPage",

I would, therefore, retain the classification proposed by the Commissioners and increase the salaries as follows:-\n\n**Chief Revenue Officer**, £450 to £550 by £20 annually.\n**1st Class Revenue Officers**, £350 to £420 by £10 annually.\n**2nd Class Revenue Officers**, £250 to £320 by £10 annually.\n\nI agree generally with the recommendations of the Commissioners as regards the classification and salaries of Overseers in the Public Works Department, Land Bailiffs, and Sanitary Inspectors. I also agree with the salary proposed for the Inspector of Stores, Public Works Department, namely, £400 to £550 by £10 annually.\n\nThe Commissioners have extended their recommendations to the Clerical Service and General Establishments recruited locally, but until the policy of the Government as regards the provision of quarters for all such officers has been decided, I am of opinion that it would be better to make no changes in the present salaries. If it were not for the very high rents now paid, the salaries would be ample, and the ten per centum allowance which has been granted goes far to remedy that difficulty temporarily. It is by no means an impossible task to build suitable quarters, though it will take several years to carry it into effect. When the improved means of communication both in Victoria and Kowloon now under consideration have been provided, several excellent sites for such quarters will become available. I propose to lay the matter before Mr. Stubbs, and I would, therefore, suggest that this part of the recommendations of the Commissioners may be held in abeyance. I consider, however, that pending provision of quarters, a rent allowance of 20 per centum on salary should be granted in place of the ten per centum allowance which is now paid.\n\nIn paragraph 4 of my Despatch of the 15th April, I stated that I would deal with the question of quarters.",

Mu, M.A.**, Braid Road  \n\n## The Drug Traffic: The Peace Treaty: and Smuggling\n\nThe Covenant of the League of Nations (Article 23) \"entrusts the League with the general supervision of agreements with regard to the traffic in women and children and the traffic in opium and other dangerous drugs.\" Article 295 of the Peace Treaty runs thus: \"Those of the high contracting parties who have not yet signed or not yet ratified the Opium Convention, signed at the Hague on 23rd January, 1912, agree to bring the said Convention into force, and for this purpose to enact the necessary legislation without delay,\" &c. This is, so far, satisfactory. Special recognition is due to Lord Robert Cecil for his efforts in the matter. Are anti-opium operations, therefore, no longer necessary? By no means. The traffic is deeply rooted. It has many roots and branches. Only continued vigilance can ensure its extirpation. We must see that our own and other Governments apply the Hague Convention in both letter and spirit.\n\nThe kindred agitation against the West African Liquor Traffic has suffered disappointment. From utterances of the Colonial Office, it was expected that the import of all foreign alcoholic liquors would be prohibited, but only the \"trade gin\" has been banned, and this can easily come in under other names. Our Government are not indifferent to the drug peril, but they have hitherto worked on altogether wrong lines. They have been content to regulate distribution instead of controlling and restricting production. In 1917, they made a beginning by supervising the export of morphia direct to Japan. But the dealers had only to send their consignments by way of France or America, and now similar arrangements have been made with those two countries. Only licensed parcels may be sent there. But other routes can be used. And when all legitimate outlets are guarded, the illicit traffic will still flourish. It is like labouring to empty the trough while leaving the tap running. With destructive poisons so bulkless and scentless, it is a futile policy.\n\nTo land a cask of gin, or its equivalent in 36 dozen quart bottles, is difficult. When the victims are reached, only about 4000 of them can be intoxicated, allowing a gill to each. This is bad enough. But two ounces of heroin in an envelope will narcotise as many thousands, and a seven-pound parcel, easily sent by post under another name, will debauch nearly 200,000 bodies and souls, at a quarter of a grain to each. Now, from 20 to 30 tons of morphia and heroin are being secretly sent into China every year. Opium, some of it from India, is also being smuggled in. The methods of the smugglers are countless.",

Le même délégué a affirmé que, pour combattre les maladies qui, dans certaines de ces localités, règnent d'une façon endémique, la population en use habituellement par petites doses, comme remède préventif ou curatif. Ce sont les usages de ce genre qu'on ne saurait appeler purement médicaux, c'est-à-dire ce qui est ordonné par un médecin, que la Commission entend désigner par le terme « légitimes ».\n\nAu sujet de la huitième recommandation, il faut signaler que c'est par la suggestion de M. Jean Hennessy, délégué de la France, que la cinquième Commission en fut saisie. Il attira l'attention sur les abus dus à la vente et à la consommation des drogues d'origine minérale ou chimique, non visées par la Convention de La Haye de 1912, et fit remarquer que le fléau qui ravageait l'Orient est devenu universel depuis la guerre, que des drogues chimiquement fabriquées sont colportées, vendues à bas prix et absorbées en grandes quantités et que les lois de chaque État étant insuffisantes, la réunion d'une conférence internationale s'impose.\n\nIl convient également d'attirer l'attention sur les déclarations faites par le délégué de la Perse, le prince Arfa-Ed-Dowleh, sur les avantages que présenterait une campagne entreprise par la Société des Nations, en vue de répandre, parmi les populations orientales adonnées à l'opium, l'usage des brochures de propagande exposant les dangers qu'entraîne la consommation de cette drogue. La question de contrôle du trafic de l'opium et d'autres drogues dangereuses a une importance mondiale et mérite que l'Assemblée y porte le plus grand intérêt. Les premières mesures destinées à établir le contrôle que la Société est chargée d'assurer, conformément au traité de paix, ont été prises par l'Assemblée, l'année dernière, et elles ont déjà donné des résultats satisfaisants. On ne peut, pour le moment, embrasser avec netteté l'ensemble de la situation avant d'avoir reçu et analysé les réponses au questionnaire publié par le Secrétariat. Les conclusions à tirer du questionnaire seront soumises à la prochaine Assemblée. En attendant, comme on le verra d'après ce qui précède, d'utiles mesures ont été prises sur le conseil de la Commission consultative, qui faciliteront l'exécution de la convention, et on espère que les nouvelles propositions que la cinquième Commission a présentées dans ce rapport contribueront à avancer vers la solution du problème.\n\nEnfin, on doit signaler que le contrôle du trafic de l'opium se heurte à de grandes difficultés. Le délégué de la Perse a attiré l'attention sur certaines d'entre elles à propos des pays d'Orient. Seul, un organisme international tel que la Société peut surmonter ces difficultés, et, pour cela, il a besoin de la collaboration entière, continue et efficace de tous ses membres. La Commission se permet d'adresser un appel à tous les membres de la Société pour qu'ils lui apportent cette collaboration. (Vifs applaudissements).\n\nM. le PRÉSIDENT. La traduction du rapport qui vient d'être lu ayant été distribuée, l'Assemblée estimera, sans doute, qu'il n'y a pas lieu de faire procéder à la traduction orale. (Assentiment).\n\nLa parole est à M. le délégué de la Perse, le prince Arfa-Ed-Dowleh.\n\nMessieurs, Le prince ARFA-ED-DOWLEH (Perse). Vous avez entendu le rapport que notre distingué collègue, M. Ferreira, vient de présenter d'une manière si précise.\n\nComme la question de l'opium est une des plus graves et des plus importantes pour l'humanité, j'avais écrit un petit mémoire à ce sujet et, ne voulant pas abuser de votre précieux temps, j'avais l'intention de l'envoyer au Secrétariat général. Mais quelques honorables collègues ont cru qu'il serait plus utile que je le fasse entendre du haut de cette tribune, vers laquelle le monde entier tend l'oreille en ce moment-ci.\n\nAfin de ne pas dépasser les limites que nous nous sommes fixées pour parler, je pose ma montre devant moi pour vous rassurer et vous convaincre que je n'abuserai pas de votre indulgence.\n\nJe vous dirai en quelques mots ce qu'est l'opium, comment on le reçoit, comment on l'emploie, le mal qu'il y a à l'employer et les mesures qu'il faudrait prendre pour parer à ce mal.\n\nOn tire l'opium du pavot, plante à belles fleurs rouges, blanches et de tant d'autres nuances qu'elles semblent refléter les différentes couleurs de la lumière comme un prisme. Le fruit de cette plante est une capsule. Quand la capsule est mûre, on y pratique avec un canif tranchant quelques incisions d'où sort un suc blanc comme du lait. On le recueille dans un récipient plat et on le met au soleil, dont il reçoit peu à peu la couleur de son rayon doré. Par l'effet du soleil, ce suc devient épais comme une pâte, on le met alors dans des formes rondes ou longues, on l'enveloppe dans du papier et on l'envoie dans tous les coins du monde, pour être vendu sous le nom d'opium.\n\nEn Orient, on l'emploie de deux manières : à l'état brut et à l'état fabriqué.\n\nIl y a deux sortes d'emplois à l'état brut : normal ou permis, et anormal ou défendu.\n\nOn appelle normale la pâte préparée en forme de pilules ne dépassant pas un quart de gramme. On en prend quand on se trouve dans un état de fatigue ou de malaise quelconque.\n\nL'état anormal est celui où on l'absorbe par quantité de plus d'un gramme par jour : ce qui est extrêmement nuisible pour la santé et prohibé par les lois de tous les pays.\n\nMais le mode le plus dangereux de l'emploi de l'opium, c'est son extrait le plus toxique de la matière brute que l'on fabrique pour fumer, et c'est cela qui forme l'opiomanie.\n\nL'opiomane est, à mon avis, mille fois pire que la peste et le choléra, ces derniers n'étant que des maladies épidémiques n'apparaissant que de temps à autre ; tandis que l'opiomanie, maladie tout aussi contagieuse, règne à l'état chronique sur des millions d'individus.\n\nOn peut, par une prophylaxie appropriée, limiter le champ d'action de toutes les maladies contagieuses, mais il est infiniment plus difficile d'empêcher un opiomane de faire partager son vice à tout son entourage.\n\nL'opiomane est un être dégénéré, n'ayant de goût à rien, extrêmement faible, effroyablement maigre, d'un affreux teint jaunâtre et n'ayant d'autre idée en tête que d'avaler le plus de fumée possible et d'en faire avaler à tous ses amis et connaissances.\n\nEn un mot, c'est un être perdu pour la Société et dangereux pour son ambiance.\n\nMon pays étant un producteur d'opium, il était tout naturel que mon gouvernement se préoccupât de cette alarmante question. Et, de fait, il s'en est occupé avant même que la Société des Nations fût constituée. Dans le cabinet dont je faisais partie avant la guerre, j'ai eu l'occasion de m'occuper de cette affaire spécialement. Quelques-uns de mes collègues et moi-même étions chargés de rechercher des moyens propres à remédier à cette maladie funeste. Messieurs, je puis vous assurer que le remède n'est pas facile à trouver. Empêcher le commerce illicite de l'opium, c'est très bien ; mais cela ne constituera pas un remède efficace, parce que, d'abord, ce commerce se fera quand même et plus intensément pour la bonne raison que l'homme est avide du fruit défendu ; ensuite, parce que ce contrôle, dont on espère tant de bien, ne sera jamais qu'illusoire, vu la longueur extraordinaire des frontières des pays producteurs. La Perse, à elle seule, a plus de 3 000 kilomètres de frontières terrestres. Notez qu'il y a aussi la Chine, les Indes, l'Afghanistan, la Turquie d'Asie, le Turkestan, le Boukhara, le Khiva et tant d'autres endroits. Or, combien croyez-vous qu'il faille de douaniers vigilants pour empêcher la contrebande sur une aussi vaste étendue ? Pratiquement, la chose est impossible.\n\nPrince ARFA-ED-DOWLEH (Persia). Interpreter :\n\nGentlemen, you have heard the Report which my distinguished colleague, the Rapporteur, has just read, in which there is given a very precise account of the opium question. As you know, the opium question is a very serious question to humanity.\n\nI wrote a few notes on it, which I wished to send to the Secretary-General; but my colleagues said that it would be more useful if I gave a short account of what I know about opium from the rostrum here to the Assembly, where there are so many listeners. First of all, I will deal with what opium is, and then with the measures which are needed.\n\nAs you know, opium is made from the poppy by certain processes. By those processes two sorts of opium are made. There is the ordinary sort, which is made into little pills, and, in the East, is found in every man's house, and is used as a normal remedy for all sorts of things like weariness and colds. This usage is not peculiar to Persia; but it has been mentioned by the Indian Delegate and the Chinese Delegate as being common in their countries.\n\nThere are the legitimate uses, and the quantity taken amounts to about a gramme a day. There are other abnormal uses up to as much as 10 grammes a day, which is dangerous to health and is prohibited by law. But the evil is not so much here as in the smoking, inhaling and swallowing the drug, and on behalf of Persia, I can say that the ravages from these practices are more dangerous than cholera and other typhus pests, because the latter can be dealt with by doctors and men of science, but the opium question is chronic, and those who take the drug tempt others. Unhappily, its usage is spreading in Europe.\n\nPersia does not remain indifferent to the question. In fact, it takes peculiar interest in it as a producing country, and the Persian Government has studied the question very seriously for a long time before the war. We saw that to forbid the cultivation of the poppy is absolutely impossible, because it is cultivated not only in China and India, but in Persia, Bokhara, Turkestan, Afghanistan and in many other of the Eastern countries.\n\nAnd Persia has a frontier of something like 1,800 miles, so that to guard this frontier, and effectually deal with the question of importing and exporting opium, would necessitate about 50,000 guards and gendarmes. This is, of course, impossible. Therefore, I wish to call attention to the only method by which the matter can be successfully dealt with, and that is by propaganda work, through the Press, by our orators, and by every means of publicity which can be adopted to bring home to people generally the dangerous and awful effects of using this drug.\n\nThe other day proposed in the Fifth Committee, and I wish to propose it here in this Assembly, that this propaganda should be commenced, and the Committee on Hygiene should publish and distribute thousands of pamphlets written in the various languages of the East—Persian, Arabic, Turkish and the various Indian tongues, and that these pamphlets should be spread over the world, in order to impress upon the peoples these dangers I have described. I know what the Oriental mentality is, and I can tell you that a leaflet from the League of Nations, signed by eminent doctors in the West and East, would produce a great effect on the Oriental mind.\n\nI wish to thank the Fifth Committee and the League of Nations for the tremendous effort which has been made with regard to this question.\n\nM. van SWINDEREN (Netherlands). Interpreter :\n\nMr. President, I wish to say a few words in order to explain the reason why I vote in support of these recommendations.\n\nThe rapporteur has referred to the role which the Netherlands Government played in 1913 in connection with the Conference which regulated the traffic in opium. It was at the request of that Government that the question was brought before the League of Nations, and the Netherlands Government has naturally followed the efforts of the League of Nations in this direction, and feels the greatest satisfaction at the results which have been obtained. Indeed, the League of Nations has good reason to congratulate itself on what it has accomplished, and the resolutions before you will tend still further to reduce the ravages of this awful traffic.\n\nEven now, we see the effects which have already been produced in removing some of the former very narrow ideas which were entertained, and we are hopeful of seeing the States silencing the voice of self-interest in favour of humanity. The resolutions before the Assembly will fortify us in regard not only to the measures which have been passed, but with regard to our future action, and they mark out the path along which further progress is possible. Gentlemen, in giving your support to these recommendations, you will be accomplishing a good work, and you will be helping to build up the obstacles on which the foundations have already been laid in the path of this drug, which I may describe as the serpent in our paradise. We may look forward to the day when all the apparatus of this drug will be exhibited only in museums and thus prove that the English proverb, \"all ends in smoke,\" is not applicable to opium, which, in future, I trust will only be used for medicinal purposes. (Applause).\n\nIt is our object to rescue humanity from the moral torpor in which it is plunged, and the high aims of these resolutions constitute a definite step in that direction.\n\nM. HENNESSY (France). Interpreter :\n\nI wish to support the eighth Resolution of the Fifth Committee, and to ask the Assembly to adopt this Resolution. It has been explained in principle by M. Ferreira, the Rapporteur. The Assembly is aware that the Convention of 1912 took into account only those drugs which were the products of the capsule of the poppy, and only vegetable drugs. But a terrible scourge is now threatening our civilisation, in the West as well as in the East, through synthetic drugs of chemical and mineral origin. They are of the same composition as opium and cocaine, but they are made in chemical manufactories. Those who begin to take these drugs under the recommendations of doctors become obsessed with a passionate craving, which takes possession of them and makes them slaves to the drug.\n\n- 6-",

        "content_text": "## Bricks Without Straw\n\nWell, Sir, I may say at once that the Government fully shares their disappointment, but even the Government cannot make bricks without straw and the hardest part of a Budget framer's task is the endeavour to make the quart of the demands go into the pint pot of the revenue. There is hardly a work mentioned by our critics which has not received the most careful consideration of the Government and been finally ruled out in favour of works which seemed to the Government to merit prior performance. The work of administration has to be provided for before money can be found for Public works, and in this connexion I would refer to the remarks of the Senior Chinese unofficial member on the rising cost of administration. The Government, Sir, admits that the cost of administration is rising and it must continue to rise so long as more and more is demanded of the Government. The largest increases in the present Budget are in answer to insistent public demand and have met with unofficial approval. So far as I can remember only one department is charged with being over-staffed, and the Harbour Master has, I think, made an effective reply to the charge.\n\n## Personal Emoluments\n\nAs a matter of curiosity I have caused the expenditure on Personal Emoluments in Hongkong to be compared, so far as information is available here, with the expenditure in neighbouring administrations, and we find the interesting result that the percentage of Personal Emoluments to Revenue in the present Budget (and in this connexion it must not be forgotten that the same Personal Emoluments dealt with an expenditure of nearly $2,000,000 on loan works in addition to voted expenditure), is slightly less than the percentage shown by the 1927/1928 figures for Ceylon and the 1929 figures for the Straits Settlements, and much less than the 1929 figures for Shanghai. I therefore venture to doubt the justness of the charge that our Personal Emoluments absorb an unduly high proportion of our revenue, while the need for some improvement of salaries, especially in the lower grades of the services, has been shown by the report of the Salaries Commission.\n\n## Detailed Criticisms and Enquiries\n\nI pass now, Sir, to some of the detailed criticisms and enquiries of my unofficial friends.\n\n### The Gaol\n\nTaking first the remarks of the Senior unofficial member, as regards the Gaol we all know that a new Gaol is required and that the work once commenced at Kai Tak was suspended owing to the financial difficulties of the year 1925. That site is no longer available, being required to be reserved for the development of the Aerodrome, and I have no doubt the foundation prepared for the Gaol will be found useful for future buildings. The question of accommodation in the prisons is receiving attention. A proposal has been made to transfer the female prisoners to Lai Chi Kok, where there is space available, and if the transfer can be effected the situation in Victoria Gaol will be considerably relieved.\n\nThe present Government, while recognising the need for a new Gaol, differs from its predecessors in thinking that a new Civil Hospital should have priority over a new Gaol, and we doubt if the finances of the Colony justify the undertaking of both of these costly works at once. It is for this reason that we thought it worth while to improve the printing shop in the Gaol as we believe it will prove an economical undertaking in the long run. We cannot vacate the present Gaol until the new Gaol is ready, and I venture to predict that 10 years is a modest estimate for the life of the present Gaol. I might remind Hon. Members that the printing shop proposal was laid before them in the Budget for 1929 and a sum of $41,000 was voted without demur. When the plans came to be worked out it was found that the proposed scheme would not provide all the accommodation required and an amended scheme costing $100,000, has been prepared in its place. The Hon. Director of Public Works will be prepared to explain the details in Committee and I trust that Hon. Members will agree with the Government that the scheme will prove to be an economy in the long run and will approve the expenditure asked for.\n\n### Education\n\nThe important subject of Education has not unnaturally given rise to comment from more than one of my unofficial friends. The Government will take counsel with the Director of Education on the points raised by the Senior unofficial member, but I would remind him that a good deal is already being done in the way of instruction in sanitation and hygiene in all schools and in elementary agricultural instruction in certain selected areas. The Hon. Member also asked whether school fees should not be reduced. The Government does not consider that the fees charged in Government schools are unduly high in view of the Educational facilities provided and cannot see any adequate reason for reducing these fees.\n\nAs regards the Central British School at Kowloon the sum provided is for site formation only. The Government is not in a position at present to provide funds to commence the buildings. The last of the Hon. Member's list of items is an appeal for a grant-in-aid on behalf of the Mun Sang College. The Director of Education has reported that this school has not yet reached the standard required for a Government grant, but it is hoped that if the management accepts the Director's advice it may in course of time reach grant standard. The Hon. the Senior Chinese unofficial member refers to the reduction in three educational subsidies. I can assure him that no abatement of the Government's interest in or encouragement of Education is implied in these reductions. The amounts provided last year were greater than the amounts required by more than the reductions effected and it is believed that all legitimate demands are covered by the amounts now inserted in the Estimates.\n\n### Importance of Markets\n\nThe Government agrees with the Hon. the Senior Unofficial member as to the importance of the markets, and provision has been made for the continuance of the work on the Sai Ying Pun and Kowloon City markets. As regards the Kowloon Tong market which was referred to by the Hon. Mr. Braga as well as by the Senior unofficial member, provision was made in the Estimates for 1929 for a temporary market there, at a cost of $1,500 and the proposal was accepted at the time without comment. The plans were ready in February and the work might have been completed by now but for the fact that demands have since been put forward out of all proportion to the sum provided. The revised plans and estimates were only received last month too late for inclusion in the draft estimates for 1930, and the justice or otherwise of these demands is at present under consideration, but as at present advised I am inclined to think that Kowloon Tong's demands in this matter are excessive. I do not understand the Hon. Mr. Braga's suggestion that the omission of the market from the Estimates for 1930 is a slight on the Sanitary Board. The suggestion appears to be entirely unjustified.\n\n### Recreation Grounds\n\nA good deal has been said by the Hon. Senior unofficial member and his colleagues on the subject of Recreation Grounds. The item under Education Department of $60,000 for building grants is to meet the following demands:\n| School | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| La Salle College, Kowloon | $50,000 |\n| St. Francis School, Victoria | $10,000 |\n\nThe Government readily acknowledges the needs of the Colony in these respects, and as Hon. Members know a Committee has been appointed to go into the whole question.",

It seems to me that the forward policy of services is not in any way condemned, for the encouragement of aviation, the re-establishment of the Statistical Department and the forward move in matters of Health and Sanitation have all met with the approval of my honourable friends on the unofficial side. Their chief complaint, or so it seems to me, is that the Government has not at the same time been able to undertake some of the pressing needs of the Colony in the way of buildings, roads, recreation grounds and other material works.\n\nWell, Sir, I may say at once that the Government fully shares their disappointment, but even the Government cannot make bricks without straw and the hardest part of a Budget framer's task is the endeavour to make the quart of the demands go into the pint pot of the revenue. There is hardly a work mentioned by our critics which has not received the most careful consideration of the Government and been finally ruled out in favour of works which seemed to the Government to merit prior performance. The work of administration has to be provided for before money can be found for public works, and in this connection I would refer to the remarks of the senior Chinese unofficial member on the rising cost of administration. The Government, Sir, admits that the cost of administration is rising and it must continue to rise so long as more and more is demanded of the Government. The largest increases in the present Budget are in answer to insistent public demand and have met with unofficial approval. So far as I can remember only one department is charged with being over-staffed, and the Harbour Master has, I think, made an effective reply to the charge.\n\nAs a matter of curiosity I have caused the expenditure on Personal Emoluments in Hong Kong to be compared, so far as information is available here, with the expenditure in neighbouring administrations, and we find the interesting result that the percentage of Personal Emoluments to Revenue in the present Budget, and in this connection it must not be forgotten that the same Personal Emoluments deal with an expenditure of nearly $2,000,000 on loan works in addition to voted expenditure, is slightly less than the percentage shown by the 1927/1928 figures for Ceylon and the 1929 figures for the Straits Settlements, and much less than the 1929",

        "content_text": "158\n\n2.\n\nThe system recommended.\n\n- 6\n\nIn considering the general administration of the guards, difficulties in the way of the existing system ever becoming completely efficient at once appear. It is unpopular with owners and officers alike; and while this unpopularity may be due to the dislike of the whole Piracy Prevention Regulations as a Government measure (a matter of common knowledge), the position of the Indian guards is open to special attack. Of all the crew on board, these guards alone are not engaged by the ship and are not entirely subject to ship's discipline as are the others. They must be \"requisitioned for to the Captain Superintendent of Police\". (Regulation 37). The Captain Superintendent of Police trains and appoints them to each ship as required and has the power to remove any guard from any ship as he may think fit. The guards also receive their pay and their punishments at the hands of the shore authorities. There is under the Piracy Prevention Regulations no system for supplying to a captain the previous records of men quartered on his ship, nor for informing him of the result of action taken by himself or his officers against any of the guards. However strictly the guards may be instructed that while on board they are as entirely subject to ship's discipline as are any other members of the crew, it is obvious that there must remain an important distinction. The Captain's power is vicarious only, and this interference with the traditions of the sea is naturally resented; while the guards are inclined to regard the shore authorities as their real masters. It is hardly to be expected that they should be averse from taking advantage of the opportunities this division of responsibility, apart from their special position on board the ship, provides.\n\nThe Commissioners do not deal with the internal details of administration such as the training of the guards. There was no reason to find fault, and even if defects should appear they would be matters of detail comparatively easily remedied. The principal weakness of the system is the divided responsibility, and the recommendations of the Commissioners are directed to this point. They are of opinion that the engagement of guards should (subject to one important proviso) be left entirely to owners, who would naturally be expected to cooperate in making their selection with their compradores, whose safes form one of the first objectives of all pirates; but that if a desire is expressed to enlist Government assistance in securing recruits, the Captain Superintendent of Police should be directed to consult with the employer concerned, and to make such arrangements as may in each case be agreed upon. There remains the proviso. Men engaged as guards only are in a position distinct from that of ordinary members of a ship's crew, and their efficiency and desirability should be safeguarded by investing the Captain Superintendent of Police with a general power of supervision. One method of attaining this object would be the addition to Section 4 of the Arms Ordinance (No. 2 of 1900) of a sub-section, providing that guards so employed on any vessel should be subject to the approval of the Captain Superintendent of Police, and that this approval could at any time in his discretion be withdrawn.\n\nVII (e) to consider generally and to make recommendations as to the measures necessary for preventing piracy.\n\n1. Request for suggestions and the response. Wireless and Searching in Hong Kong.\n\nThe Commissioners addressed to the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, the China Coast Officers' Guild, and the Marine Engineers' Guild of China, Messrs. Jardine Matheson & Co., Ltd., Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, Messrs. Douglas Lapraik and Co., Ltd., the Hong Kong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Co., Ltd., and the Chinese shipowners in Hong Kong, a letter in the following terms:—\n\n\"I am directed by the Commissioners, appointed by His Excellency the Governor on 2nd December, 1926, for the purpose of conducting an enquiry into anti-piracy measures, to request you to be good enough to furnish them with your views on the Piracy Prevention Ordinance Regulations at present in force.\"\n\n\"2. Whilst inviting criticisms of these Regulations, the Commissioners particularly desire to receive any suggestions which you may wish to put forward for the improvement of existing conditions, whether such suggestions are directly connected with the Regulations or not.\"\n\n7\n\n\"3. It would be convenient if in your reply you would be so good as to nominate a witness or witnesses who would elaborate it orally as may be required.\"\n\nThe replies, which appear in Appendix I, to this letter may be summarised as follows:\n\nUnqualified support for what is known as the \"Minority Report\", (see Appendix III), was given by Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, the China Coast Officers' and Marine Engineers' Guilds, the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, and the Chinese shipowners; and a qualified support, though in effect covering all the important points, by the Hong Kong Canton and Macao Steamboat Co., Ltd. The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce forwards Mr. R. Sutherland's Searching scheme and various individual opinions of members of the shipping sub-committee. It makes particular reference in the covering letter to the possible conflict between the Piracy Prevention Regulations and the Board of Trade Regulations, and it draws attention to the value of Wireless.\n\nThe question of wireless and other signalling is dealt with exhaustively in Lt.-Comdr. Hole's memorandum (Appendix II). The suggestions made therein clearly deserve careful consideration by owners, so long as the installation of wireless telegraphy remains optional. The part of the Government should be to encourage such installation in every possible manner, not the least important being the reduction of charges for anti-piracy messages. But the Commissioners wish to go further and to recommend for the favourable consideration of the Government that the carrying of wireless telegraphy be made compulsory on the lines of the enactments in force in the United Kingdom. They are of opinion that compulsory installations will quickly develop into a powerful and general anti-piracy measure, and the recommendation is the more readily made as it appears only to carry to its logical conclusion the suggestion contained in the letter from the Chamber of Commerce. The Minority Report is dealt with exhaustively in the memorandum by Lieut. Commander Pitcairn Jones, R.N., which forms Appendix III, and the Commissioners wish to record their concurrence with the criticisms and conclusions of that memorandum. The question of the possible conflict between the Piracy Prevention Regulations and the Board of Trade Regulations has been dealt with above under section V paragraph 1, and it remains to consider Mr. Sutherland's scheme and the opinions of individual members.\n\nLL\n\nThe Commissioners, whilst having a full appreciation of the care with which Mr. Sutherland's scheme has been elaborated, can but agree with the suggestion on page 35 of his memorandum (see Appendix I) that \"the proposal as put forward possibly goes beyond the scope of your reference.\" The Commissioners are concerned with the scheme solely as an anti-piracy measure, and it is therefore only the improved searching facilities suggested that they have to consider. They note in the first place that the blessing given to the scheme by the Chamber is only a qualified one.—\"The Chamber would welcome the practical development of such a scheme, with due regard to general conditions affecting shipping\" (letter dated 10th March, 1924, from the Chamber of Commerce to the Government)—\"if it can be made to dovetail into existing shipping organisations without injuring economic working, the proposal has much to commend it\" (the Chairman of the Chamber at the Annual Meeting on 24th March, 1924).—\"This Chamber, on 10th March, 1924, informed the Colonial Government that it approved this proposal in principle and would welcome its practical development, with due regard to general conditions affecting shipping\". (letter dated 11th February, 1927, from the Chamber to the Commission). The qualification is apparently due to the inconvenience and extra expense that may be caused to shipping by the necessity for steamers to move from wharf to wharf, if the proposal as to searching is to be carried out, since it is difficult to conceive how the provision of extra wharves and godown facilities, with which the remainder of the report is concerned, could occasion such apprehension as appears in these three quotations. This deduction is not a good augury for the success of that part of the scheme dealing with searching, which calls for the fullest co-operation of all concerned; but indeed the Commissioners doubt whether the scheme, even if completely developed, would have any appreciable effect in the reduction of piracies. The information in the hands of the Commission, and the description on pages 33 and 34 of Mr. Sutherland's memorandum of the methods of search employed by the Hong Kong Police, show that in this matter of searching, Hong Kong is at least as thorough as any port on the China coast, and is more thorough than the majority. Piracies out of Hong Kong are comparatively rare, and there has been no case since January, 1924; while the Police search, aided by an efficient detective service ashore, has been definitely responsible for preventing more than one attempt. It would appear, therefore, that pirates already avoid Hong Kong.\n\n159\n\nPage 140\nPage 141",

They also had a good display of leatherwork and Sheffield plate.\n\nWIMBLEDON STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Catmur, and her sister, Mrs. Holmwood, Mrs. Rann, and Mrs. Rolfe had a good display of general goods, including tea-cosies, hand-bags, and home-made jams.\n\nARTS AND CRAFTS STALL, in the charge of Miss Alix Clark, is to be commended on its selection of artistic lavender bags, shopping-lists, and small hand-bags.\n\nCAKE AND PRODUCE STALL, in the charge of Miss Alix Clark, Mrs. Elias Pritchard, and the Misses Edith and Maud Codd, had its usual fine array of decorated Christmas cakes and home-made confectionery.\n\nCHINA STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Lindus, Miss Lindus, Miss Thompson, and Miss Vesey, looked very bright and attractive with its Ashstead pottery made by ex-Service men.\n\nOVERALLS AND APRONS STALL, in the charge of the Misses Underwood, Mrs. Turriff, and Miss Charles, this year had an exceptionally fine assortment of aprons and overalls. A special feature was made of dainty silk afternoon aprons.\n\nLINGERIE STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Holmes, Mrs. Overy, Mrs. Trafford Williams, and Miss Overy, had a particularly fine assortment of hand-worked baby clothes and underwear.\n\nSWEET STALL, in the charge of Miss Annie Hoare, Miss Joan Elias Pritchard, and Miss Robinson, did a good trade in boxes of chocolates, small tins labelled 'Weekly Assortment,' and home-made sweets.\n\nTOY STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Shore and Mrs. Boyce, had its usual fine collection of animals, dolls, and mechanical toys. The special attraction was a life-like black French poodle puppy, forming a fascinating night-dress case.\n\nWOOLLEN GOODS STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Delbanco, Mrs. Dore, and Mrs Jacoby, had a choice selection of hand-made jumpers, scarves, etc.\n\nLITERATURE STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Gerard and Miss Simpson, had a delightful collection of children's books-fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.\n\nTHE VOTE STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Wardi and Miss Hoyer, displayed a variety of useful articles to be found at the chemist's.\n\nEntertainments\n\nThis year a new feature in our entertainments was a short play, 'Widows,' in which Leona Cooper, Fay Myddleton, and Emma Dhai took part. This ironic little sketch, which was splendidly acted, caused much interest and amusement.\n\nThere was a charming display of operatic, classical, and character dances by pupils from Miss Grace Woollacott's Wimbledon School of Dancing. Several new and original dances added to the pleasure of this popular feature.\n\nA number of delightful pianoforte solos were given by Miss T. A. Davis; items by Madame Leoni and the Leoni Trio gave much pleasure; banjolele spirituelles by Mrs. Neville were much appreciated; and Miss Duncan, Miss Grant, Miss King, Miss Fordham, and Miss Joan Somes contributed to the musical programme.\n\nMrs. Seymour Pritchard, assisted by Mrs. Crocker, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Roles, and Miss Ivy Hawke, organised the Information Bureau and side shows. Miss Peggy Smith was kept busy executing her wonderful lightning portrait-sketches. Character readings were given by Miss Brassington, Miss Hudson, Madame Vere, and Miss Wall.\n\nThe Competition Corner, which was very popular, was arranged by Mrs. Riches and Mrs. Haines, assisted by Miss Riches, and the lucky wheel was busily rotated by Esmé May Dorrington.\n\nThe prizes, kindly given by McDougall, Ltd., for the Cake Competition, arranged by the Chiswick Branch, were won by: (1) Mrs. Baxendale; (2) Miss Whitehead; and (3) Mrs. Anderton. The judges were Miss Charles, Miss Reeves, and Mrs. Watling.\n\nAfternoon teas and refreshments were daintily served by our efficient Minerva Club, under the direction of Miss Reeves, assisted by Mrs. Atkinson, Mrs. Boyd, Miss Brewer, Miss Britain, Miss Edwards, Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Hilliard, Madame Inglis, Miss Lucienne Inglis, Miss Jackson, Miss James, Mrs. James, Miss Josa, Mrs. Langston, Miss Parks, Mrs. Paul, Miss Phillips, Mrs. Rogers, Miss Thompson, Miss Thomas, Mr. Yoxall, and Miss Wesley.\n\nSpecial Thanks\n\nOur most cordial thanks are due to the Hon. Mrs. Franklin, who so kindly came to open the Fair at very short notice, Miss E. Berry, whose untiring efforts year by year make the Fair a success, and to the Fair Sub-Committee for their whole-hearted co-operation during the months of preparation.\n\nSpecial thanks are also due to the stallholders; to all who contributed to the entertainments; to those who assisted so essentially with the Information Bureau; to our caterers and their assistants; to our doorkeepers Miss Cornwell, Mr. Clifford Jones, and Mr. Thompson; to Mrs. Scott for so kindly undertaking the cloakroom; to Miss Auld for general help; to our kind purchasers, and to all who helped in any way to make the Fair a success.\n\nHow to Reach the Fair\n\nDear Fellow Members,-Very many thanks to those members who have so kindly sent contributions towards the Fair expenses and to all our kind buyers.\n\nMany members were for one reason or another prevented from reaching the Caxton Hall last Thursday and Friday, but I shall be most grateful to any who will join with us in this fund-raising fixture by sending me a small sum, to include their return fare to Westminster, their tea and supper, and perhaps a part of the useful articles they would have purchased there.\n\nIn hopeful anticipation,\n\nE. KNIGHT,\n\nHon. Treasurer.\n\n144, High Holborn, W.C.1.\n\nMARRIED WOMEN'S EMPLOYMENT\n\nThe 'North Mail' reports that the question of married women teachers who hold positions in Wallsend while a number of single women were unable to find appointments was raised last week at the meeting of Wallsend Education Committee.\n\nCouncillor A. McFarlane referred to a list of names of young women who had come out of college and said there did not seem much possibility of their getting posts. He thought they might replace some of the married teachers. 'Some of the married teachers have husbands who hold good positions,' he said, 'and I do not think it is fair to girls who have come out of college and have been on the list for some time.'\n\nThe Chairman, Councillor John Mason, suggested the matter might be referred to the staffing sub-committee. There were great complications involved, and they must give careful thought before deciding upon anything.\n\nCouncillor McFarlane said he was agreeable to this course, which was adopted.\n\nWe ourselves would like to think and say if a body of women systematically applied this kind of means test to all men's employment.\n\nIt is reported that the question of the employment of married women on the staff of the B.B.C. has recently been raised again to the consternation, so it is said, of the hundreds of secretaries and stenographers at Broadcasting House.\n\nMarried women have always been employed by the Corporation and its predecessor, the old Broadcasting Company, and many of them have married during their service. It is absurd that this question should be settled on any other ground than that of efficiency.\n\nFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1932\n\nTHE VOTE\n\nBRANCH NOTES\n\nWomen's Freedom League\n\nBARNSBURY AND DISTRICT\n\nOffices: 144, HIGH HOLBORN, W.C.1.
