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

H. CARVALHO, Secretary\n\nHongkong, 20th January, 1857.\n\nTo the Editor of the \"HONGKONG REGISTER.\"\n\nMACAO, 1st February, 1857.\n\nDEAR SIR—The 10 mandarins, who came from Shang-hae, have been here for a few hours, and having taken their dinner at Cau-qa hong, embarked in the ensuing for Casa Branca, and from there to Yan-san and Cass feathers; and 5 of them bare blue buttons. Two of the mandarins have red buttons and peso sent to Caatho to assist Yeh—and it is said, that two of them were formerly in Canton in the time of the first war with Commissioner Lin.\n\n\"Every thing here is quiet, but I say in the harbour a good many mandarin junks displaying a varying flag. Though people are at this time they cannot do any harm here, I would question, that. What could we do prevent their attacking this place and carrying away the heads of the English that are living here?\n\nI am, &c,\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\nHONGKONG, TUESDAY, 3 FEBRUARY, 1857.\n\nNOTICE—The Hours of Posting Wrons in the CENTRAL POST OFFICE, Hollywood Road, are on the Subirth at 11 am, and stand on the Evening of every Wednesday at 7 o'clock.\n\nSIXTY.\n\nWe recorded a pedestrian feat last week —walking to the top of Victoria Peak and back six times in twenty-four hours. The same gentleman did the same task this week in twelve hours, which shows, speaking in all honor and praise, that he is an artful dodger; for the latter feat though apparently more difficult, is in reality easier.\n\nProof—a friend of ours went up and down in fifty-seven minutes.—say one hour at four miles. Four times six's twenty-four; and good steady walking, making the trip equal to twenty-four miles in twelve hours is not very great walking.\n\nTaking all the difficulties into account on an undertaking like this is more easily carried through at one heat than in two, we have no doubt that with, or, from what we hear, without halting, the gentleman who has done the six times could easily do the eight if he set his mind on it.\n\nWe have been trying to persuade our ... C. to put himself in training and try the feat—but he says he has been once to the gap and considers that enough is as good as a feast.\n\nNo. 5. FEBRUARY 3, 1857.\n\nThe climate of London is one thing, and the climate of Hongkong is quite another.\n\na more material matter than that of Hongkong, we must decidedly feel of any corps being sent away from this place.\n\nAn urgent necessity exists for augmenting and making the most effective part of the regular police force here, many of whom do their duty conscientiously to the best of their ability—but the superintendence of London is one thing: and the superintendence in Hongkong is another.\n\nThe screw Steamer Sir James Brooke left this at noon yesterday to Hongkong, having on board three companies of Sepoys, a detachment of European Artillery-men, for service in China, despatched on the requisition at the hands of Hongkong.\n\nThe troops consisted of two companies the 29th M.

Of course the 1st February was beyond the pale of the pass but coming direct from the Superintendent of Police we deemed it all right, thinking that police matters were going on in their usual cuddle.\n\nIn this belief the passes were on the night of the 2nd instant given to two of our Chinese Compositors to take them home, and we were somewhat astonished on being awakened at half past twelve, and informed, that our men were in custody.\n\nWe went down to the police office, and there we found the authorities pondering over the passes, and wondering to see the names of the boys written in red pencil, that being the color of the printing of the new passes.\n\nWe explained that a red pencil is a very common article in a printing office and that the names had been written in with that; then on making ourselves responsible for the lads we saw them let go.\n\nMARRIAGE.\n\nAt Belgrave-square, on the 24th November, the wife of Admiral Sir T.

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

        "content_text": "## 2\n\nnative district towards the end of last year, for the purpose of organizing its population against us.\n\nChan-tsze-tin, who was specially invested with the charge of stopping our supplies, distributed his pickets, as far as I can gather, along the communications between Cowloon and the district city of San-on, on the left bank of the Canton river near its mouth. His success, as director of the blockade, has not been very brilliant, and his braves, in three instances at least, have been recently involved in collision with the coast population, so serious as abundantly to occupy the force at the disposal of the district authorities. It is remarkable that on two of these occasions the recusants threatened the braves that they would surrender them to the British Government.\n\nA rough map, which will be completed to-morrow, will show your Excellency the position of the different localities referred to in this Memorandum.\n\nThe correspondence establishes, beyond doubt, that the San-on Committee, under authority, and in some cases at the dictation of the Canton Central Committee, have been parties to almost every atrocity with which we have been menaced by report, or of endeavour to perpetrate which we have been apprised.\n\nThe great junk attack which was expected, belonged to the forces of the Heung-shan and Shun-tak districts; and we find no allusion to undertakings on so grand a scale. Minor expeditions, most likely with incendiary intent, are projected. There are two allusions to the great poisoning case, but not as an event in which the San-on people took any immediate part. The accused, Cheung-alam, is a native of Heung-shan; and supposing him guilty, the San-on Committee would by no means, as a matter of course, have been advised of his design. There is no great evidence of its concert, in any measure, with jurisdiction beyond the limits of San-on.\n\nIt is clearly made out, however, that incendiary plots and assassinations were devised by this San-on Committee; attempted, and, as they believe, effected by their agents, who, when successful, were rewarded either by the San-on Committee, or by the Chief Committee of Canton. Attempts known to us to have been made without success, to fire buildings and steamers, are spoken of, both before and after the fact. The firing of Mr. Duddell's store, and the seizure of the \"Queen\" steamer, are matters of great gratulation; so, on one occasion, is the kidnapping of foreigners, and that some must have been assassinated there can be little doubt; mention being made of more than one transmission of heads to Canton, and of the disputes regarding the amount of remuneration to be awarded the assassin.\n\nThe victims (unless corpses have been disinterred for the sake of their heads) we must assume to have been Portuguese or Manilla men, as no member of the British or American community has, to our knowledge, been missing. That Yeh, whose proclamations of reward for British subjects, dead or alive, fell into our hands very soon after the beginning of these troubles, is consulted regarding the disposal of captives, is clear from allusion to his instructions regarding the imprisonment of the eleven or twelve men surrendered to the San-on Committee by pirates.\n\nOn the expectation that we are about to treat for peace, Yeh has directed his subordinates to abstain from all more seriously aggressive measures, and to confine themselves to the stoppage of supplies. My belief is, that the expenses of his militia drive him to accept this hypothesis, and that he is glad to find an excuse for disbanding a portion of his troublesome allies.\n\nThe whole story must satisfy every one of the expediency of all precautions that have yet been taken, no less than, in my humble opinion, of the necessity of guarding against any relaxation of vigilance. The late expedition to Nam-tan will do much to check the activity of our zealous neighbour, Chan-kwei-tzih, but it would be unwise to forget the reflection of his brother, that \"when the barbarians are tired of watching, a blow may be struck with certainty.\"\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)  \n**THOMAS WADE**  \nChinese Secretary.\n\n## 3\n\n### Inclosure 2\n\n**Chan-tsze-tin to Chan-kwei-tsih.**\n\n(Translation.)\n\nNight of the 21st January. [AFTER describing the route from one station to another, and applying for arms, &c., he proceeds: -]\n\nI hear from some of the people of the place (Sha-tin or Cowloon) who have come back from Victoria, that the English barbarians are in very great perplexity, that a proclamation is issued every day, and three sets of regulations come out in two days. People out at night are taken up in a haste, and let go in a hurry; no one is allowed out after 8 o'clock; the shops forced to take out tickets at sixteen dollars each; the heads of establishments paying five dollars and the partners three dollars, and that these are changed every few days. They say, too, that vessels passing to and fro between Cowloon and Victoria are not searched. A flour bakery had poisoned several English devils, and had been closed; upwards of forty people imprisoned in consequence.\n\nThe Heung-shan, San-on, and Tung-kun people in business at Hong Kong were in great alarm, and thinking of returning home, but the Nam-hoi, Pun-yu, and Shun-tek men had the perverseness not to be alarmed; so far from it, they laughed at those of Heung-shan, San-on, and Tung-kun districts for standing in awe of their mandarins and gentry.\n\nIt is also stated that more passage-boats come from Kong-mun to Hong Kong than before, and that boats still go and come between it and Macao and Canton, and that supplies flow in from Kwei-shin, Hoi-fung, and Luk-fung. A Kwei-shin man, by name Wong, of Ha-ching (Oyster Bay), has started a lorcha (or some such vessel), which carries 100 bullocks or more every trip. A \"tsung\" (the Peninsular and Oriental Company's compradore) of the bullock shambles is a traitor in chief. Since the commencement of this business, he has (or they have) opened a number of devil shops. Several of the Nam-hoi, Shun-tek, Huru-chan, and Chin-chan people are also making large profits. Steps should, I think, be taken to bring them to justice, in order to the prevention of the like for the time to come.\n\nI shall go to Cowloon to-morrow, &c.\n\n**Note.-** Nam-hoi and Pun-yu are the districts on the conterminous boundaries of which stands Canton. Shun-tek is a little lower down the river, on the west side, as Tung-kun is on the east, San-on lies east of the mouth, as Heung-shan lies west.\n\n### Inclosure 3\n\n**Chan-tsze-tin to Chan-kwei-tsih.**\n\n(Translation.)\n\nFebruary 5.\n\nON the 2nd February, I received the 200 taels for the men's pay. The ten braves from Kin-ton are arrived and have been placed on my strength. The expedition the braves had been directed to make across the water on the 31st January, did not succeed. On the 3rd, therefore, I returned to the camp (at Sha-tin), and, on consideration, postponed the attempt for a few days. It appears that the English barbarians are much more on the alert; they fire guns at intervals during the night to keep up their spirits. Steamers and other vessels, to the number of twenty, small and great, cruize day and night without cessation. In every devil hong is stationed a guard of devil soldiers; at sunset they make ready their cannon with great care. The police devils, in bands of eighteen, patrol, and when they come to a dangerous place they form into large bodies and fire, before they venture to proceed.\n\nThe Malays and Indian troops that arrived a few days since drill incessantly. Such being the doubt and alarm of the English rebels, we must wait till they tire a little of watching, and a blow will then be sure.\n\nAt midnight, on the 4th February, I sent ten braves to patrol along the...  \n\nPage 407",

        "content_text": "# Hung-ham Pass of Cowloon; they found a number of small vessels crossing with vegetables to Victoria. At the sight of the braves their crews took to the water and escaped, and they only caught two men, Wong-ang and Li-muk-yeung. They were allowed to plunder the boats of their entire cargo of vegetables and other things. They also took a devil's boat and two traitorous Chinese rowing therein; three others escaped, and the boat was taken into Cowloon, and left in charge of the Tipo (the head borough); the oars, anchors, &c., were brought in to the camp. I have now sent the braves with the two traitorous Chinese and these articles to you, and request you will have the affair judicially looked into and settled.\n\nOn the 2nd, at Lik-yun-tai-wei, a man named Wong-tai-muk, dressed in devil clothes and boots, with a devil fowling-piece in his hand, speaking the devil language fluently, and also Chinese of the Heung-shan dialect,* came down the hill side shooting and up to the tents. His appearance being in every way suspicious, he was seized by the braves and, on being questioned, admitted that he had been in barbarian service at Victoria; also that he had owned there the Tak-lung pork butchery and the Hing-lung fish concern; that about the middle of January he had gone home from Victoria; he had come out to shoot because he had nothing else to do, and was in no way a traitorous Chinese. The gentry and elders of the Nine Wards have given a bail-bond for him, I was enabled to deal leniently with the case, and released him with a slight punishment (or fine).\n\nI am in want of the following articles (enumerated). Yu-ki-nin says that in the eastern division at Sha-tin, and at Chik-mi, boats load with bullocks, fowls, ducks, &c., for the supply of the English rebels.\n\nIt is very expedient that two vessels should be sent to cruize off those places.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n## Inclosure 4\n\n**Chan-tsze-tin to Chan-kwei-tsih**\n\nFebruary 7, 1857.\n\nI came to Cowloon, where there were three of the parties concerned (in the plot), all of whom insisted on having some guarantee in writing. You will have found the details in Yu-ki-nin's note, and I have to request that you will signify to me what remuneration is to be given for each item (of the proceedings therein specified), that I may be enabled to discuss this with (the parties interested). The barbarian shipping, however, at Victoria has much diminished in number; in the last few days one-half seem to have gone. The American devils, I understand, see that, as matters stand, there is risk of danger, and (their ships) have therefore gone off.\n\nI hear it said that in the course of a few days the English will be sure to send to Cowloon for the boat we took a short time ago. This is the talk of the simple villagers, who are full of alarms and misgivings. For the present I have forbidden my braves to go to Cowloon, and shall wait some days until I see how matters stand, before I think of acting.\n\nA few days ago the English rebels took up seven Chinese in the Sheang-wan (the west of Victoria). When I see how utterly broken the barbarians are, I look on it as certain that they will not venture to disturb Cowloon again (or to break into it present themselves there).\n\nI have this day enlisted ten braves-very secretly without the knowledge of any man-and to-morrow shall get a boat for the undertaking. The other body of men, who are to be put on rations, when the attempt shall have succeeded, are people of the place (Hong Kong or Cowloon). They will probably cross the water in the course of the day (or a few days).\n\nYu-ki-nin came in from the Committee to-day, and informs me that yesterday our braves seized eleven rebellious barbarians and have handed them up to the Committee. I was delighted to hear this; it is really a fine thing. If we manage matters thus, the English rebels and the local vagabonds will not be able to bear one another, and each party will get to suspect the other to the advantage of the main issue. Who is to be sent with these eleven English rebels? The two Kwei-shin men need not, I think, be forwarded to Canton. I am told that their employer sent some one yesterday to learn how the case stood, and so I suppose he is going to bail them, &c.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n## Inclosure 5\n\n**Chan-kwei-tsih to Chan-tsze-tin**\n\nFebruary 16.\n\nOn the 14th, Tong-sze brought me an answer from you. In the first decade of the 12th moon (27th December to the 5th January) Cheng-tsik was directed by the head committee (Canton) to go to Cowloon to take steps (or the necessary steps). I am told he had got a number of men together to fire Victoria. I fear, however, that he was not up to the task, and that he has failed (or will fail) in consequence.\n\nThis person was put forward by the F-san-tong (interlined)—I do not know who is charged with the superintendence of this (tong)-and was to accomplish his undertaking within a month, Lin-tsun-ngan has taken his leave of me as teacher (in my family), and as there is now no gentleman in charge of his twenty braves, they had better be disbanded; or the half of them might be, as there are ten in charge of Sai-kung.\n\nWan-hing's nephew has got leave for ten days. Mak-ying-tang's station is Sha-tin; he has now come in to head-quarters, and will be desired to go to Sha-tin. On his arrival he must be desired to go to his camp and remain there, and not to be staying at any other place that he may choose.\n\nTse-tung-shan (otherwise styled Tse-tso-ko) came in (from Canton) to the Committee (Sanon) this morning after breakfast, with 30 gilt mandarin buttons, and 1,000 dollars weighing 690 taels (interlined); this is to pay the 300 dollars for the lorcha, and the 30 taels for every devil's head. He also brought 2,000 taels to pay the men, contributed by Wei ordered to be handed over to the district magistrate.\n\nPostscript. The price of devil's heads has been reduced this year.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n## Inclosure 6\n\n**Chan-tsze-tin to Chan-kwei-tsih**\n\nFebruary 17.\n\nI went on the 29th January to Sai-kung, to Yu-kia-nin's; and the non-commissioned officers of the Militia of the six wards of Ho-chung, and the Sha-kok-mi, all came to meet me. The rolls of their train-bands are now completed, and will be forwarded shortly.\n\nThe train-bands of the nine wards of Sik-un are also on foot, and the non-commissioned officers want the Committee to send flags, and badges, &c.\n\nYesterday the Commandant Chung returned to Cowloon; and I learned to-day that the English rebels had burned four war-junks at Tung-chung, and were giving out that to-day they would attack Tung-chung itself. One of my braves has returned from Victoria, and reports that there is no movement of the kind. Of late they have been more vigilant at Victoria than ever; no one is allowed out after 6 o'clock. Devil soldiers share the duty of keeping watch with the watchmen, and patrol zealously in bodies. From Tai-ping-shan to West Point there are devils on guard. After the lamps are lit no one is allowed to go from the shore to the ships, nor to land from the ships. The seamen devils act as devil soldiers. In the streets there is little business doing. The Wing-tai, Wo-shang, and Mau-tai, three great rice shops, ceased to do business some days ago.\n\nPage 408",

Cowloon is so close that it is easy to watch them thence, and it will be impossible not to have everything ready (for its defence) in good time.\n\n(Applies for arms and ammunition, &c., &c.)\n\n(Translation.)\n\n## Inclosure 7\n\nChan-tsze-tin to Chan-kwei-tsih.\n\nFebruary 21.\n\nMAN-HING'S* nephew returned to the Committee yesterday to report the state of things in the camp.\n\nThis morning the English barbarians sent a note to the office of Cheung (Commandant of Tai-pong, residing at Cowloon).\n\nAt noon a steamer, towing 6 or 7 devil-boats, with 300 devil-soldiers, brought over several tens of outlaws. A hundred or more devils, all armed with muskets, and several tens of traitorous Chinese, came to the beach of Cowloon, but did not venture to enter the streets. Some of the elderly people of the place spoke to them, and then a military mandarin went out and conferred with the devils. To him the English barbarians handed over the outlaws, and they were imprisoned in the fort. There were also three English devils and two traitorous Chinese who came into the military station; what passed with them I do not know. After about two hours' stay, they went on board and sailed away.\n\nThe Cowloon people were in great alarm, expecting that there would be a fight. The neighbouring villages also made ready, and my braves turned out and lay in their camp waiting to march out.\n\nIn the afternoon, one (or some) of my braves came to report what he had seen, and I thus knew that the English devils had sailed away. What their purpose (or meaning) may be, it is indeed difficult for any one to divine.\n\nA man, or men, named ... came to Sha-tin after breakfast, and said that the Indian (\"Molo\") devil-soldiers who had come were very miserable wretches, and unfit for service. They looked as if they were ill. Five or six-tenths of them have no breeches to put on, and they are all wrapped or swathed in ragged blankets and coverlids. They are now building mat-sheds on the parade-ground by the barracks.\n\nIt has been said, lately, that 3,000 devil-troops are coming, and for some days they have been embarking guns and other arms; it is said, first to attack Nam-ton, and afterwards Canton. The police (lit. green jacket) devils say that there is to be this one fight more, by which they are to stand or fall; if they are beaten, they will be willing to sue for peace; if they cannot obtain peace, then they will go home to England.\n\nHe also reports that there are 100 persons or more engaged in supplying Hong Kong from different points of this (the central) division of the coast, all along the neighbourhood of Tsin-wan. Six vessels had been seized by the Tsin-wan braves, and had been ransomed for 72 dollars. I think it would be best to send an active gentleman to enforce the interdict at Tsin-wan, or the practice of supplying (Hong Kong) will go farther.\n\nKi-nin says the Tsin-wan flour-shop has opened again, and advises me to take a party of braves thither, and shut it up. I request your instructions on this point.\n\nI shall be obliged to you to give to the two braves, Leung and Wan-a-tsei, sent herewith, some thirty or forty catties of powder and twenty catties of bullets, to bring back with them.\n\n* Otherwise mentioned as Man-tsap-shin, who gave notice beforehand of the destruction of Duddell's bakery, and had himself undertaken to fire Victoria.-See Inclosure No. 9.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n## Inclosure 8\n\nMan-hing to Chan-tsze-tin.\n\nFebruary 21.\n\nI reached San-on yesterday evening at 6, and reported all that you desired. The General Committee of San-on had desired Tong-tsze-ki, who had brought in another devil's head, to take it on to Canton and report his service (i.e., claim his reward). The head of the devil in question was taken by some other vessel (not Tong's). She fell in with a devil's boat of Kap-shui-mun; Pai-wan (Aberdeen is probably meant); the devils took to the land, and so she only got this one head, which was brought to the Committee.\n\nThe Canton Committee are giving now only thirty taels for devils taken, whether dead or alive (interlined); for a devil's head, they will perhaps give thirty dollars, but I am not sure. The San-on Committee (consequently) do not now much prize devils' heads. The money that was sent to reward the captors of the devils taken some days ago caused several days' discussion. Tsu-kwei and the rest then consented to receive it.\n\nIf you, my uncle, wish the braves of your camp to set about this service of taking devils' heads, it would be well that you told them plainly (what they will get); there will be no occasion (I think) to be very eager about it from this time forth (i.e., because it does not pay).\n\nMy uncle, Chan-kwei-tsih, and Tse-fung are much pleased with the proposition to destroy houses (viz., Hong Kong).\n\nA reduction of the braves is contemplated, as there are too many, &c.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n## Inclosure 9\n\nYu-ki-nin to Chan-tsze-tin.\n\nFebruary 25.\n\nI write in haste to say that, with reference to the undertaking proposed by the (San-on) Committee some time since, and which Man-tsap-shin engaged at your place to carry out on the 23rd February, he has come to me to say that the attempt was made on the night in question in rear of the Tung-li mat-buildings establishment, but that other persons (?) coming to the rescue, it failed. He therefore begs for more time, and engages between the 3rd and 6th of the moon to fire all the line of hongs to the left of the police-station at the Kung-sze in the Ha-wan (Commissariat), or else to try the Canton Bazaar, or both it and the others. I will inform you of the result, &c.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n## Inclosure 10\n\nSu-ting-kweit to Chan-kwei-tsih and Tse-tsok-ko.\n\nMarch 4.\n\nI received a letter from you yesterday. Your proposition to reduce the braves, for the sake of economy, is evidence of your thoughtfulness, which is grateful to his Excellency.\n\nBut as there is a report (or, we have news) that the English barbarians are going to acknowledge their transgression, and that the different nations are united in their entreaties for trade; the net being thus open on one side, attacks and captures would be inexpedient. It will be better, therefore, to suspend the execution of your projects of incendiarism and seizure of vessels, and I intimate as much to you, that we may be on our guard against a struggle such as beasts make when surrounded, as this would give some trouble to his Excellency the Governor-General.\n\nPage 409",

Below Manghao, on the banks of the river, in Annamite territory, is situated the town of Laokay, two days' journey from the Tonquin capital, Hanoi. The Song Koi, or Red River, divides into various branches; the two southern ones meet above Hanoi. On one of them stands the town of Niuh-brinh; on the other, that of Nam-diuh and Hung-yen. These two branches communicate by canals, on one of which is situated the town of Fouli. Another branch of the Song Koi is the Thai-binh River, which passes by Hai-duong. Between it and the Hanoi branch of the Song Koi, or Red River, runs the Longchi Canal; and a third and very important branch to the north of the above named is the River Cam, which passes Haiphong; the mouth of the Cam is called the Cua Cam. The three northernmost mouths by which the Song Koi falls into the sea are called Dai, Lak, and Balat. The distance from the mouth of the river to Manghao in Yünnan is as follows:--\n\nFrom the mouth to Hanoi\nMiles\n110\n\nIlanoi to Soutay\n\"\n32\n\nSoutay to Annamite advanced posts\n\"\n87\n\nLackay to Manghao\n\"\n115\n\nAnnamite camp to Laokay\n\"\n70\n\nMiles from the sea to Manghao\n\n414\n\nIt is necessary to give this detail of the river communications through Tonquin in order that the position of affairs may be better understood.\n\nThe borders of Tonquin and Yunnan have for a long time been in a very disturbed state, being in possession of two clans or bands of Chinese distinguished as the Black and Yellow Flags. The men comprising them were originally under the Chief Tienti, the head of the Kwangei rebellion, and, having escaped into Tonquin, captured the town of Laokay, on the Red River; but the two Chiefs having quarrelled, they separated, and one portion took possession of Ko-yang, a tower lower down on the Red River, which places they still occupy, but are at war with each other, and each levies black mail upon all boats and goods passing into Yunnan, and thereby stopping the lucrative trade that had existed between Hanoi and that province.\n\nIn 1864 there resided at Hankow, in China, a M. Dupuis, who was engaged in the business of selling arms and ammunition to the Chinese then engaged in suppressing the Mahomedan rebellion in Yünnan. The distance, however, was long and the road difficult, and he was impressed with the idea that a shorter and better route could be found. He started for Yunnan, but the disturbed state of the country prevented him from following the course of the Song Koi, or Ho-ti-kiang, as it is there called, into Tonquin; but later on, in 1870-1871, he was more successful, and found the river was navigable from Manghao; and having ascertained that fact, he returned to Yunnan, and obtained large orders for arms and ammunition, which were to be brought viâ the Song Koi through Tonquin.\n\nIt was necessary, however, to obtain permission from the Annamite Government to cross Tonquin with these arms and ammunition, and Dupuis' Agent, M. Millot, explained his plans to Rear-Admiral Krantz, the Chef de Cabinet of the Navy Department, who obtained for him an audience from the Minister, Vice-Admiral Pothuon. Dupuis requested, as there was no regular communication with Annam, a passage to be given him in a gun-boat to Hué, to obtain this permission, and after some delay he received, under date the 9th April, 1872, a letter from the Directeur des Colonies, saying he had written to the Governor of French Cochin China to comply with his request if compatible with his duties, and MM. Dupuis and Millot having returned to Saigon, it was arranged that the despatch-boat \"Bourayne,\" Captain Lencz, should go to Tonquin to afford them protection. Two condemned British gun-boats---the \"Firm\" and the \"Cockchafer\"---had been purchased at Shanghae, and put under the French flags under the names the \"Hoong Kiang\" and the \"Lao Kay.\"\n\nMr. Dupuis left Hong Kong on the 26th of October, 1872, with the \"Hoong Kiang,\" towing a steam-launch, and the \"Lao Kay,\" towing a Chinese junk with coal and artillery. Including Messrs. Dupuis and Millot, the expedition numbered twenty-three Europeans and ninety-six Asiatics, Malays, Chinese, and Japanese.\n\nOn the 9th of November, they arrived at the Cua-cam River, in Tonquin, where the \"Bourayne\" was, but Captain Lenez had gone to Hanoi. Dupuis then went to the southernmost mouth of the Song Koi, but was recalled by a note from Captain Lenez, requesting him to return as soon as possible to be introduced to the Royal Commissioner Li, who had military command of the Provinces of Quang yen, Hai dzong, and Hung yen. On the 19th Li arrived, and the object of the expedition was explained, and the official Chinese documents were shown to him; but he said, though all was in order, he must refer to Hué for instructions. On the 4th of December no answer had been received from Hué, and Li hinted that none would be received for several months. Dupuis then decided not to wait any longer, and he wrote to Commissioner Li that, as the waters of the Cua-cam were very bad, he would go up the river.\n\nAfter several attempts to find a channel, the way to the Red River was discovered, which the expedition entered on the 18th of December, with a salute. Their proceedings were detailed to me by a very intelligent man called Captain George, a Greek by birth, who was with the expedition. The Annamites were greatly excited, and large bodies of troops were out. An attempt was made to erect a barrier across the canal, flanked by a fort, which opened fire upon the vessels; but that was soon silenced, and they arrived at Hanoi on the 22nd of December without further opposition. There the Mandarins promised to assist them up the river, but, in fact, prevented M. Dupuis hiring the boats he wanted; and on discovering this he determined to continue the journey, but was unable from want of water. Finally, he succeeded in hiring four boats, and on the 18th of January, 1873, he started with three of them, the steam-launch, and a Chinese interpreter, leaving the remainder of the expedition with M. Millot at Hanoi, and taking with him altogether twelve Europeans and twenty natives.\n\nOn the 1st of February, the expedition passed the last Annamite camp, reaching the head-quarters of the Yellow Flags on the 10th. Here he was entertained by their Chief Hoang Tsong-yu, and after leaving his territory he entered, on the 20th, that of another Chief, Lun vinh-pline, the Black Flags, who lives in the city of Lao Kay; and on the 25th he left this-the last town in Tonquin-and finally arrived at Manghao, in Yunnan, on the 4th of March, and leaving his material behind, he reached Yunnan-fu on the 10th. Here he found he had arrived too late with his arms, for the Mahommedan stronghold of Tali-fu had been surrendered to the Imperial troops on the 8th of January, and Ma, the Chinese Commander-in-chief, did not require them, and said, moreover, he had not the means of paying for them, but there was a quantity of tin from the mines which he might have, and which Dupuis accepted, but was able to remove but little of it for want of means of transport; and finding his expedition a commercial failure, he returned to Hanoi, which he reached on the 10th of April, and found the Annamites preparing to attack the Expedition, having closed two branches of the Song Koi and barricaded the river above Hanoi to prevent its escape. By mistake, however, the Longchi Channel, which begins a little above Hanoi, and runs into the Phai-binh River, was left open, and Dupuis, who had enlisted about 100 Chinese, was able to make good his retreat, though occasional skirmishes took place.\n\nThe Ministers of Tuduc, the King of Annam, seeing no means of getting rid of M. Dupuis, wrote to Admiral Dupré, who sent him, through the Annamite authorities, an order to leave Tonquin at once, saying that his presence in the country was a source of annoyance, and if the command was not obeyed, he (Admiral Dupré) would not consider himself responsible for the consequences. In reply, M. Dupuis stated that he had neither coal nor funds, and could not leave the country. M. Millot, however, arriving at Saigon on the 13th of July, with a relation of the Titu of Yunnan, and a Mandarin named Li (whom the Viceroy of Canton told me he would behead if he could get hold of him), called on the Admiral, and so represented the matter that he suggested a delay of three months, and assisted M. Millot in obtaining a loan from a bank under the guarantee of the Colonial Secretary. M. Millot then returned to Hong Kong and purchased a small steamer, and named her the \"Manghao,\" and a junk, which he called the \"Lao Kay,\" and sent them, with ten men from Hupih, to Tonquin.\n\nAfter the departure of M. Millot from Saigon, Tuduc, the King of Annam, sent two Envoys to Admiral Dupré (August, 1873) to tell him Dupuis refused to obey his order. To this the Admiral replied by telling them they ought to have expelled him themselves. They answered they were unable to do so, and requested the Admiral to send a man-of-war to Tonquin to assist them.\n\nThe action of Admiral Dupré in this matter was calculated to mislead both M. Dupuis and the Annamite Government. He certainly gave assistance to the former both by steamers and money, and at the request of the latter he recalled Dupuis from Tonquin, and when the Envoys sent by the King Tuduc requested the fulfilment of his order, he hesitated to enforce it; and it was this hesitation which brought about the complications that resulted in grave responsibilities to the French and loss of independence to the Annamites. I may here mention that, during the interval which\n\n[608]",

GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 19th June, 1877.\n\nREPORT OF THE EXAMINERS.\n\nThe Examination having been duly held on the 10th of July, the Examiners made the following Report:\n\nHONGKONG, 16th July, 1877.\n\nSIR,-With reference to the Competitive Examination for a third Clerkship in the Magistrates' Office, we have the honour to report:\n\n1. That the examination was held at the Magistracy at 11. A.M., on Tuesday, the 10th of July, in the presence of the three Examiners.\n\n2. That eleven Candidates presented themselves, who were within the prescribed age of 28 years.\n\n3. That papers were given them testing their power of translation from Chinese into English and from English into Chinese.\n\n4. That after a careful examination of all the papers of these eleven Candidates, we are unable to recommend any one of them as really fit for the important and responsible post now vacant in the Magistrates' Office.\n\n5. That their chief defect is want of power or experience in translating Chinese into English. As this is the main requirement of the post, and as much will often depend on the translation of a document, it is highly important that every effort should be made to find as good a translator as possible.\n\n6. That we think it probable, that if the age were extended, a much better man might be had than any of those who presented themselves, and we, therefore, beg His Excellency the Governor to fix the limit of age between 20 and 35, instead of between 16 and 28, to advertise the vacancy once more in the Gazette, and appoint another Examination.\n\nWe shall be happy to conduct this second\n\nThe Honourable CECIL C. SMITH,\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient Servants,\n\nJ. S. BURDON, Bishop.\n\nC. MAY,\n\nNG ACHOY,\n\nBoard of Examiners.\n\nMINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.\n\n1. I am much obliged to his Lordship the Bishop and the other Examiners for the trouble they have taken, and I will consider what is best to be done with respect to any future Examinations.\n\n2. Meanwhile, we must endeavour to profit by the results of this open competition, and enable future Candidates, as well as the teaching staff of the Colony, to see the errors that have to be avoided, and to estimate the standard requisite for appointments of this class.\n\n3. Nothing could have been fairer or more practical than the tests applied by the Examiners. The eleven Candidates who were examined, and all of whom failed, were tested in translation from Chinese into English and English into Chinese, and in writing and spelling from dictation.\n\n4. The dictation consisted in the reading aloud by one of the Examiners of a short deposition in English, which had been taken in the ordinary course of business at the Magistrates' Office, and which the Candidates were requested to write down as it was being slowly read out.\n\n5. The Chinese document for translation consisted of a brief instrument of gift, such as frequently comes before the Court in Chinese cases. The English document for translation into Chinese was the deposition already referred to.\n\n6. Let those papers be printed, together with the verbatim result of the dictation as handed in by each of the eleven Candidates, and their translations. Instead of publishing any names it will be sufficient to print the Candidates' numbers as affixed to each paper.\n\n7. Though I am certainly disappointed at the failure of the Candidates at this examination, yet I feel confident some of them will succeed on future occasions. Remembering the difficulty a Chinese youth must experience in translating into English and in writing from English dictation, and, on the other hand, seeing what little progress is made by Europeans in obtaining even a superficial knowledge of Chinese, it is evident that the Candidates, though they did not reach the requisite standard, showed no small amount of industry and ability.\n\n8. I shall continue to dispose of whatever appointments may be in my gift by a system of open competition similar to that existing in England, believing that the best officers can thus be obtained, and that these public examinations will test and encourage the progress of education in the Colony.\n\nJ.

That the examination was held at the Magistracy at 11 A.M., on Tuesday, the 10th of July, in the presence of the three Examiners. \n\n2. That eleven Candidates presented themselves, who were within the prescribed age of 28 years. \n\n3. That papers were given them testing their power of translation from Chinese into English and from English into Chinese. \n\n4. That after a careful examination of all the papers of these eleven Candidates, we are unable to recommend any one of them as really fit for the important and responsible post now vacant in the Magistrates' Office. \n\n5. That their chief defect is want of power or experience in translating Chinese into English. As this is the main requirement of the post, and as much will often depend on the translation of a document, it is highly important that every effort should be made to find as good a translator as possible. \n\n6. That we think it probable, that if the age were extended, a much better man might be had than any of those who presented themselves, and we, therefore, beg His Excellency the Governor to fix the limit of age between 20 and 35, instead of between 16 and 28, to advertise the vacancy once more in the Gazette, and appoint another Examination. We shall be happy to conduct this second Examination, but leave this to His Excellency to arrange as he thinks best. \n\nThe Honourable CECIL C. SMITH, \n\nActing Colonial Secretary, \n\nWe have the honour to be, \n\nSir, \n\nYour most obedient Servants, \n\nJ. S. BURDON, \n\nBishop. \n\nC. MAY, \n\nNG CHOY, \n\nBoard of Examiners. \n\nMINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR. \n\n91\n\n1. I am much obliged to his Lordship the Bishop and the other Examiners for the trouble they have taken, and I will consider what is best to be done with respect to any future Examinations. \n\n2. Meanwhile, we must endeavour to profit by the results of this open competition, and enable future Candidates, as well as the teaching staff of the Colony, to see the errors that have to be avoided, and to estimate the standard requisite for appointments of this class. \n\n3. Nothing could have been fairer or more practical than the tests applied by the Examiners. The eleven Candidates who were examined, and all of whom failed, were tested in translation from Chinese into English and English into Chinese, and in writing and spelling from dictation. \n\n4. The dictation consisted in the reading aloud by one of the Examiners of a short deposition in English, which had been taken in the ordinary course of business at the Magistrates' Office, and which the Candidates were requested to write down as it was being slowly read out. \n\n5. The Chinese document for translation consisted of a brief instrument of gift, such as frequently comes before the Court in Chinese cases. The English document for translation into Chinese was the deposition already referred to. \n\n6. Let those papers be printed, together with the verbatim result of the dictation as handed in by each of the eleven Candidates, and their translations. Instead of publishing any names it will be sufficient to print the Candidates' numbers as affixed to each paper. \n\n7. Though I am certainly disappointed at the failure of the Candidates at this examination, yet I feel confident some of them will succeed on future occasions. Remembering the difficulty a Chinese youth must experience in translating into English and in writing from English dictation, and, on the other hand, seeing what little progress is made by Europeans in obtaining even a superficial knowledge of Chinese, it is evident that the Candidates, though they did not reach the requisite standard, showed no small amount of industry and ability. \n\n8. I shall continue to dispose of whatever appointments may be in my gift by a system of open competition similar to that existing in England, believing that the best officers can thus be obtained, and that these public examinations will test and encourage the progress of education in the Colony. \n\nEXAMINATION PAPERS. \n\nThe following are the two Examination Papers: \n\n九光 執立 存豬眞 此 \n\n1.-TRANSLATION FROM CHINESE INTO ENGLISH. \n\n大郎 休水兪茶送明送如於麗用 \n\n醴等送別不長金 人員 \n\n遵成 親交 手交養 \n\nJ.

In consequence of poverty, husband and wife after mutual consultation agree to give their daughter, named Akiu, aged 7 years, born in the Yan hour of the 29th day of the 9th moon, to Yip Lai Kam to be received as foster daughter, who immediately is to hand over to A-Shang the sum of $65 as remuneration for the bringing up of the child (hitherto). (This sum) Husband and wife have received in full for their own use. The girl from this day passes over to (another) family, and Lai Kam is at liberty to change her name, to use her daily as a servant, and when she is of age to dispose of her as seems to Lai Kam best. If found intractable, Lai Kam is at liberty to transfer her to another family. This is done by the mutual consent of the two families, a public giving and receiving without any extortion or compulsion, or anything of the kind. No betrothed money has been received (by the parents for the girl, i.e., she is not betrothed to any one). If anything should be found to be wrong in her antecedents, U-Ashang is to be held responsible, but if harm befall the girl hereafter, each party will regard it as the will of Heaven. On the girl being handed over, there can for ever be no change of purpose, and as evidence this deed of gift is made out and given to Lai Kam to be by him retained as proof. \n\nIn presence of a true middle-man, A Fung. Kwong Su, 2nd year 9th moon 10th day. Jointly made by Yu-Ashang and his wife Lam.",

        "content_text": "## Step 1: Review the given text for OCR errors and formatting issues.\nThe provided text appears to be a collection of historical documents related to Hong Kong, with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) errors and formatting issues. The task requires proofreading and correcting these errors while maintaining the original content and structure.\n\n## Step 2: Identify and correct spelling errors.\nUpon reviewing the text, numerous spelling errors are evident, such as \"transfered\" instead of \"transferred\", \"deposite\" instead of \"depose\", \"waterma\" instead of \"watchman\", \"sheathing\" misspelled as \"shitting\" or \"sheating\", \"loap\" instead of \"loop\", \"ting\" instead of \"tying\", \"backeges\" instead of \"packages\", \"sinialiar\" instead of \"similar\", \"propritor\" instead of \"proprietor\", and \"Castmopolian\" instead of \"Cosmopolitan\". These errors need to be corrected.\n\n## Step 3: Fix spacing issues and rejoin broken sentences.\nThe text contains extra spaces, missing spaces, and hyphenation or line-break artifacts. For example, \"CANDIDATE No. 9.\" and \"CANDIDATE No. 8.\" are followed by text that needs to be properly formatted. Sentences broken across lines or columns need to be rejoined.\n\n## Step 4: Restore paragraph breaks and indicate missing words.\nThe OCR output has merged or split paragraphs incorrectly. Paragraph breaks need to be restored to improve readability. If a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage, it should be indicated with `...`.\n\n## Step 5: Apply Markdown formatting.\nThe text should be transformed into standard Markdown format. This includes processing headers, sub-headers, bold-type, and tables using Markdown syntax.\n\n## Step 6: Reorder newspaper texts and reconstruct tables.\nTexts from newspapers may not make sense due to OCR column recognition issues. These need to be reordered. Data clearly in table format should be organized properly to reconstruct the table.\n\n## Step 7: Correct Chinese writing direction if necessary.\nSome Chinese texts might be written from right to left. If observed, these should be reversed to meet modern reading habits.\n\n## Step 8: Ensure file references are correctly formatted.\nFile references should not have spaces inside parentheses, e.g., `XCR(85)72`.\n\n## Step 9: Preserve page numbering information.\nIf \"Page XX\" is detected, with the typical six lines (three at the top and three at the bottom), this information should be kept as it was originally used to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 10: Output the corrected text in HTML format using  for paragraphs.\nThe final output should be in HTML format, using `\n\n` for paragraphs and `\n` only when absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nCANDIDATE No. 9.\n\nThis bond of presentation made on the 10th September in the 2nd year of the Emperor Kwong Sui between Yu A Shan with the consent of his wife surnamed Lum residing at Tseung Kwan O of one part and Ip Lai Kum of the other part.

        "content_text": "(4)\n\nfrom Aberdeen Street. The woman now here, LAU-A-YEE, is that woman. I took her back to the house and gave her in charge of a Lokong. The people on the ground floor called to me and told me that some people had fallen into the cookhouse. I went into the cookhouse and saw the deceased(1) lying on the granite on her face, with her head close to an earthen-ware chatty, which I pointed out, and the bundle of clothing with a Chinese rule lying on the top of her head, or on the back of her neck. Close beside her was another woman lying on the other side of the chatty with her feet against the wall and her head out towards the cookhouse door. I had a Chinese candle. I took up the bundle of clothes off the deceased's head and turned her on her back, and there were no signs of life apparent. The other woman was bleeding from the face, and her face and neck were covered with blood. She was moving as if in great pain. I sent for the ambulances at once, and by this time the whole street was aroused. Dr. GOMES lives close by and he came to the place. I asked him to look at the deceased and he did so and said she was dead. When the ambulances came, I removed the women to the Civil Hospital.\n\nThe deceased was called A-Su, I believe. I cannot find out anything more about her than that she has been in the house two or three days.\n\nThe woman who is now in Hospital is called TAI-YAU, and was fined in November last for keeping an unlicensed brothel.\n\nThe woman whom I took to the Station is called LAU-A-YEE. She rents the upper floor. The deceased is a servant-woman in the house.\n\nThere were two women besides the three referred to in the house. They are servant-women. They are here now.\n\nLAU-A-YEE is in custody charged before the Magistrate as the keeper of an unlicensed brothel, and the case is postponed till the 19th.\n\nWhen I went up the stairs and climbed over the folding doors, I did not call out \"Police.\" I have been on the roof of many Chinese houses since I became Inspector of Brothels. I have never seen any roof, but that of 42 and that of 44, which had not a protection wall round the smoke-hole or area. I only saw one man in the house, the one who opened the trap door. His name is NG-A-KAN. He is the informer and was one of the men who got the notes to get evidence. I only knew from the informer that women had run up and I wanted to secure them.\n\nI had no knowledge of the existence of such a hole being unprotected. I believe the women did not know of the existence of the hole and simply ran there in their endeavours to escape.\n\nBoth Inspector WHITEHEAD and myself had suspicions on the house No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace, for months. We had no suspicions on No. 42, Peel Street, until last night at midnight. I was then told something by the Interpreter and in consequence went.\n\nOur instructions to the Interpreter last night were to send to a house No. 258, Queen's Road Central, and if the informers could not gain admission, then to try and find some other place. We did not give any special instructions to go to No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace, last night.\n\nJonx LEE.\n\nNG-A-KAN declared, states:-I am a carpenter living at D'Aguilar Street. I am a friend of CHENG-A-YU, the Interpreter to the Inspector of Brothels. He gave me seven dollars yesterday about 6 o'clock. He told me that the Inspectors wanted to get some cases and told me to make inquiry about unlicensed brothels. I went with a friend surnamed CHENG last night, but we could not find any in Queen's Road Central. We went into a house in Queen's Road Central, over a district watchman's house. CHENG-A-YU sent us there. The people said it was a family house. I separated from CHENG and I searched about. I intended to give back the money. I met two friends MAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN, and they asked me to go to Lyndhurst Terrace. We went to a house on the first floor about 9 o'clock. LÓ-A-MAN and MAN-A-ON had been there before. When I got into the house, I only saw three women there. One of the women only was a prostitute. I did not sleep with any woman at No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace. There was a girl brought to the house. A man named A-NAM brought her. I did not have anything to do with the girl. I engaged the girl at Lyndhurst Terrace and went with her to Peel Street, No. 42. That was about 1 o'clock. Before the Inspectors came, I had left Lyndhurst Terrace. The girl who is in Hospital is the one I had engaged. A-NAM came with me to the house in Peel Street. He said he was going to sleep there, but he was not going to sleep with a girl. I had not paid the girl, whom I had engaged, anything. I opened the trap door and let the Inspector into the floor. The women kneeled before me and said not to do anything, as the Inspector was coming. The deceased and TAI-YAU kneeled before me. They were much frightened. TAI-YAU said, \"I was fined $100 before. I sold my son to pay the fine, and you must not say anything now.\" That was before I opened the door. The woman now present, LAU-A-YEE, was there. She ran with the others up the stairs. I had never been in the house before. I had had some drink. I was not quite drunk, but I was under the influence of drink.\n\nCHENG-KAN-TSAI paid for the supper. He got money from CHENG-A-YÜ. I returned my seven dollars to CHENG-A-YÜ.\n\n根吳\n\nJ. RUSSELL,\nCoroner.\n\n(5)\n\n18th October, 1877.\n\nInquiry resumed at the Magistracy, at 4 o'clock.-Jurors present.\n\n476\n\nCHENG-KAN-TSAI, declared, states:-I am a painter living at Jervois Street. On the evening of the 16th instant, between 6 and 7 o'clock, I was walking with a man named NG-A-KAN, and went to CHENG-A-YU's place, 31, Caine Road. CHENG-A-YU asked me to get some cases for him, to find unlicensed brothels for him. We were to go and try a house in Queen's Road. We got money from CHENG-A-YÜ. I got $3 and NG-A-KAN got $7. We went to the house in Queen's Road over the watchman's and went upstairs. We had no previous knowledge of the women there. We stayed for five minutes. We saw no men there. We proposed to them thus: \"Have you got any women who have got time?\" They said-\"No, you can go.\" We saw three women.\n\nWe then separated. I was walking in Queen's Road. I met a friend called MAN-A-ON. I asked him where he was going to? He said to Singapore. I said, \"As you are going to Singapore, you ought to give me an invite to spend a night at a brothel.\" He said-\"Yes, go on, let us go to a sly brothel.\" He had a friend with him. His name I learned to be LÓ-A-MAN. They took me to an Opium shop, where we fell in with a man called A-NAM. We stayed a short time there, and A-NAM took us to a house at Lyndhurst Terrace, first floor. I do not know the number. When we went up, I saw three women there. I proposed that we should stay there and have supper, and afterwards have girls there. There was one man there. One of the women, named SAI-KAM, told me that there was only one girl there, herself. I said, \"Get two more,\" and a servant was despatched to get two girls. A-NAM was only a pimp to find us the girls. This occurred about eight o'clock. Two girls came about quarter-past eight o'clock. I gave a dollar to A-NAM to buy supper. That was one of the dollars that I got from CHENG-A-YU. The girls came, but only stayed a few minutes, one minute. They promised to stay, went away, but did not return. A-NAM himself went out to get two girls and fetched two at after eleven o'clock, about quarter-past eleven o'clock. One called herself CHAU-KIN, and the other called herself A-SÓ. Three women had supper. We had supper as soon as they came. We had for supper fowls, stuffed pig's feet, sausages, eggs, and about six taels of samshü. We drank three or four cups.\n\nA-NAM remained there and had supper. MAN-A-ON went and fetched NG-A-KAN about nine o'clock. LÓ-A-MAN said that NG-A-KAN might have his girl. We told MAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN that we were going to have them arrested, and MAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN said they did not want to have anything to do with it. They said they had no time to be witnesses. NG-A-KAN promised to pay for the women for them. I stayed at Lyndhurst Terrace with the woman who was in the house. I had not paid her any money.\n\nI was in her room when A-YÜ told me that I should pay the girl two dollars. She agreed to sleep with me. I had not paid any money.\n\nWhen the Inspectors came, I was told that I should pay her. I had not paid any money.\n\nCHENG-A-YÜ never asked me to do any work of this kind before for him, nor did I ever do it. NG-A-KAN was not there when the Inspector came. He left to go to Peel Street with a girl. He went with A-SÓ. A-NAM went with him. CHAU-KIN went away before A-KAN. She went with a servant woman. MAN-A-ON told NG-KAN to pay her, but NG-KAN did not.\n\nMAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN went away together about half-past twelve o'clock, when I paid the money for the supper. I told MAN-A-ON to go and tell CHENG-A-YU.\n\nTo the foreman:-My pay as a painter was 1 mace and 4 candareens per day. I am out of employ now. I have been out of employ for a year now. I sometimes stop here, and sometimes go elsewhere. I live on my friends.\n\nQuery. You spent $1, what did you do with the others?\nAnswer. I gave back the $2 to CHENG-A-YU. I did not expect to get any money from CHENG-A-YÜ. He is a friend of mine. I live in the WING SHING CHEUNG shop, Jervois Street.\n\nTo the Coroner:-I opened the door and let the Inspector in. She (the girl in No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace) was very frightened and asked-\"What is that?\" I said, \"Nothing, don't be afraid.\" She was afraid. She ran into a front room and concealed herself under a bed. I pointed her out to the Inspector. The Inspector could not see me in the girl's room because I opened the door.\n\n鄭簡齋\n\nNG-A-KAN recalled, and further examined, states:-We had about 18 taels of samshü. I had the most to drink, i.e., more than the others. The supper consisted of fowls, sausages, duck, pig's tripe, pig's feet, salt eggs, and plums.\n\nA-NAM is not here. I don't know where he is. I had nothing to drink when I went to Peel Street. I have been employed by CHENG-A-YÜ in the business before. I have discovered three places before. One last year and two this year. I was a witness against TAI-YAU before. I did not recognize the girl again. She called herself A-SÓ. She did not recognize me.\n\nA-NAM ran out when the Inspector came. He knew that my being there was a plant. He ran when the Inspector came. He ran away with the woman to the roof. I have paid back the money, seven dollars, to CHENG-A-YU. I got no pay last year, but this year I got $2, one on each occasion before as pay.",

        "content_text": "# The Daily Press\n\n## HONGKONG, MAY 13TH, 1879\n\n### DEPARTURE OF GENERAL GRANT\n\nAt ten o'clock yesterday morning a deputation from the Chinese community, consisting of Messrs. Ng Choy, Leung On, Fang Tang, Hop Koe, Ho Amei, Lee Sing, and Chong Tsin Yeong, waited upon General Grant at Government House, to present him with an address previous to his departure.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor introduced the deputation to General Grant, and the Hon. A. E. Bois, Colonel Mosby, and Major Palmer, A.D.C., were also present.\n\nMr. Ng Choy, who had been deputed to present the address, began by saying a few words regretting that, owing to the time necessarily taken in preparing it, they had been unable to wait sooner upon the General for the purpose of presentation. He then handed him the address and read the translation of it, as follows:-\n\n**(Translation)**\n\nTo General Ulysses S. Grant, late President of the United States of America and Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army.\n\nOn the occasion of your honouring Hongkong with your presence we, the undersigned, on behalf of the Chinese Community, approach you to give you a hearty welcome and beg to present to you an address expressive of our high esteem and respect for you.\n\nDuring your Presidency, your great name and noble qualities were well known far and wide, and by the carrying out of laws and respect from you commanded admiration from all classes of people under your rule, we have been delighted to learn that in international questions you have shown a spirit of impartiality and fairness, treating Americans and Foreigners alike, and the Chinese who have been trading in the United States have sung, and continue to sing, praises of the many good actions done by you while in office. We had longed to see you, but being far away we were hitherto not permitted to realize our wish. Now that you have honoured us with a visit, we avail ourselves of the opportunity to present you with a scroll inscribed with these four words \"Benefit to Chinese People\" which we hope may serve as a souvenir of your interview with the Chinese Community of Hongkong.\n\nNg Choy  \nO Man Chai  \nKwok Aubeong  \nChing Sing Yeong  \nWong Kwau Tong  \nLoong On  \nKon Moon Walt  \nChum Sui Shug  \nSee mee Sang Kai  \ning Sart Yeong  \nYo Wni San  \nPan Fong Poo  \nPow Chung Hung  \nCha Sit Chuen  \nPoon Chi Kai  \nLee Sing  \nHo Amei  \nLeo Tuck Chong  \nFung Tang  \nChow Shing Lam  \nTung Ting Kam  \nLoo Lai Pang  \nWong Yu Yee  \nLee Pun Chee  \nSay Yeon Man  \nMing Koo  \nTung Tack Chan  \nLai Hong Chunan Yuen  \nCheong Wing  \nWing Mow Cheong  \nChong Woo Chan  \nLong Cheong Chan  \nWing Cheong Chan  \nYa Sang Cheong  \nMee Fook  \nMesa Cheong Wo  \nKwan Choong Lung  \nTeu Cheong Lang  \nKwong Lee Cheong  \nWing Cheong Phing  \nTon Hing Lung  \nKwong Man Fung  \nChun Wing...

It will be kept by me as a pleasing memento of the Chinese community of Hongkong. In other colonies during my recent travels I have also met countrymen of yours, and I have found the rulers of those colonies recognising your good qualities of frugality, industry, and enterprise. Such qualities go far to account for the prosperous condition in which I see you all here. I am now leaving Hongkong to visit your country, and I am sure I shall see much that will be very interesting to me. For this handsome address I must again thank you most sincerely, and I shall never forget the kindness shown to me by the people here. I wish that prosperity may continue to be enjoyed by you.\n\nAt the request of His Excellency the Governor, Mr. Ng Choy introduced the other members of the deputation to the General.\n\nThe deputation then withdrew. The address, which was sixteen feet long by four feet wide, an extremely handsome scroll, was embroidered in gold on a strip of crimson satin about ten feet long, with a rich deep border, exquisitely embroidered. The characters are written in Chinese. On the top of the scroll is written the address, on the right side is General Grant's name in Chinese, and on the opposite side are the signatures. In the centre are four large Chinese characters, viz:- \"Wai Kap Wa Man\" (Benefit to Chinese people.) The scroll was packed in a teak wood box.\n\nIn response to the invitation of His Excellency the Governor, the officials, naval, military, and civil, as well as a large number of the general community, assembled shortly before eleven o'clock a.m. at Murray Pier to see General Grant and party embark for the U.S.S. Ashuelot. There were present the Chief Justice (Sir John Smale), His Excellency Major-General Donovan; Commodore Smith; the Hon. W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary; Hon. J. Russell, Attorney-General; Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Acting-Colonial Treasurer; Hon. J. M. Price, Surveyor-General; Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. W. Keswick, and Hon. H. B. Gibb, Members of the Legislative Council; the Acting Puisne Judge; Hon. C. B. Plunket; Colonel Geddes, 27th Regiment; Colonel Sherwin-ton, Assistant Commissary-General; Colonel Moore, Commissary-General of Ordnance; Colonel Mosby, U. S. Consul; Mr. Taro Ando, Japanese Consul; Captain Kasama, H.I.J.M. corvette Nissin; a good sprinkling of naval and military officers and a number of the residents. The police, under Captain-Superintendent Deane, lined the road from Government House to the pier, upon which was drawn up a company of the 27th Inniskillings with their colours and band. Punctually at eleven o'clock the General and his party, with His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy, arrived at Murray Pier, when General Grant gave his arm to Mrs. Hennessy while the Governor escorted Mrs. Grant to the head of the pier. The guard of honour presented arms, and the band played as they passed. Arrived at the steps, the General and his party exchanged adieux with those present, and as they stepped into the Government launch Mr. Hennessy called for three cheers for General Grant, which invitation was warmly responded to, and one cheer more for Mrs. Grant added. His Excellency the Governor, Mrs. Hennessy, Colonel Mosby, Major Palmer, R.E., A.D.C., and Dy. Paymaster Eastlake accompanied the party to the Ashuelot. As the launch steamed away from the pier the band of the 27th played their Farewell March to Gosport, which included \"Over the Sea\" and \"Good bye, Sweetheart.\" On passing the Spanish gunboat Marques del Duero, and the German corvette Luise, the marines on both vessels were drawn up and saluted the launch, the band on the Luise playing \"Hail Columbia.\" Captain Mortimer L. Johnson, the new commander of the Ashuelot, received the General and party on board and conducted them to the hurricane deck, where there were in waiting Mr. and Mrs. Forbes, Admiral Polo (Spanish Navy), Captain Sobering (H.I.G.M. Navy), Dr. Von der Horck, and Mrs. Eastlake. After the final farewells had been taken, the Governor, Mrs. Hennessy, Colonel Mosby, and Major Palmer left in the Government launch. On His Excellency leaving the Ashuelot he was saluted by that vessel. The Ashuelot shortly afterwards left for Swatow.\n\nMr. Afong, the photographer, has taken an excellent view of the embarkation.\n\nPage 338",

        "content_text": "THE DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 26TH, 1881.\n\nTO THE HONOURABLE WILLIAM KESWICK.\n\nSir—The subscribers to the accompanying testimonial have confided to us the duty of its presentation, and in their names and our own of saying to you a few words of farewell. The numerous signatures appearing in the appended subscription lists, representing every class and race of this community, will afford you the best testimony of the wide-spread appreciation entertained of your public career, but it will not be out of place for us to pass in brief retrospect some of the more eminent services you have rendered the Colony.\n\nChief among these stands the able and straightforward performance of your duties in the Legislative Council, where you have for so many years held a seat. In a Crown Colony the position of an Unofficial Member of this Council is full of discouragement; having no power of initiation, and with the certainty before him of being outvoted if in opposition, his task is limited to criticism of the schemes of the Government. Your labours in this direction have been of the highest importance and utility, and more especially as a guardian of the public purse the attitude you have unflinchingly maintained cannot, we think, be very well over-estimated.\n\nThe little leisure which the pressing responsibilities of a large Mercantile House have left you, you have ungrudgingly bestowed on many other public affairs. As Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce your wide experience and knowledge of business have been of the highest value. The City Hall owes much to your care and attention. Schemes of charity and for the assistance of the poor or friendless have ever found in you a real sympathiser; and there are but few institutions organised in this Colony for humane or charitable purposes that have not profited by your liberal aid and advice.\n\nNot less worthy of mention have been your services to many of those Public Companies with which much the prosperity of the Colony has now become identified. To your power of labour, business capacity, and grasp of detail, these important concerns are in no small degree indebted for the prosperity they enjoy; and it is no slight to others to say that probably to you more prominently than any one else, is due the confidence which joint-stock enterprise now enjoys in the Far East.\n\nWe now beg to bid you farewell, and with every wish for your enjoyment of your well-earned holiday, we remain, your sincere friends,\n\nE.

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA REVIEW\n\n## STUDIES IN WORDS\nThe words **ying tang** mean \"ought.\" They are in the same tone, shang ping, and are probably the same word. Many words beginning with y have lost initial **m**. Proofs of this law are given in my Introduction to the Study of the Chinese Characters, page 200.\n\nBoth these characters are written phonetically. Thus **ying** is the eagle here expressed by **E**. See page 123. **Ying** being a moral word with the sense \"ought\" could not be pointed and was therefore represented by its synonym \"eagle.\" Afterwards **ying** \"eagle\" was written with the addition \"bird\" underneath. It was decided to add the sign of a bird, in the one case, and the sign of the heart for moral obligation in the other. But this was at a later period.\n\nThe sign for \"man\" was placed on the left, responsibility being a human attribute. Why the covering radical (if ideographic) was added is not very clear, unless it may be that **ying** also means breast and that which is within the breast is covered from view. But it is preferable to regard it as phonetic as I have done in the second passage above cited. The Shwo-wen says that the covering radical is derived from **yin** \"dumb\" as its phonetic, the covered portion **yin** \"sound\" being omitted. The conclusion to be drawn from this statement is that **ying** was in the age when the Shwo-wen was written pronounced **yim**. This is a new proof that, as I said in p. 178 of my Introduction, several at least and probably all the following words classed together in his Div. VI. by Twan-yu-ts'ai, were heard with **m** as their final in the time of the primeval poetry. They are \n| Character |\n|-----------|\n| 弓  |\n| 典  |\n| 服  |\n| 薨  |\n| 繩  |\n| 升  |\n| 陵  |\n| 怡  |\n| 登  |\n| 膺  |\n| 承  |\n| 冰  |\n| 兢  |\n| 縢  |\n| 懲  |\n| 雄  |\n| 肱  |\n| 恆  |\n| 馬  |\n| 椉  |\n\nTo these are to be added words formed phonetically from them. He refers to the following passages in the Odes: **秦小戎三章** Legge IV. Part 1, p. 195, where **yin** rhymes with 興 etc. and **閟宮五章** Legge IV. Part 2, p. 626, where **sien** rhymes with **kung**, etc.\n\nThe final **m** in these words should then have existed B.C. 1650 shortly before Confucius, and also partially in A.D. 200. But during all this period it may in different parts of the country have been changing to **ng**. Hence there is ground for the classification in two divisions. Any word such as **hing** \"rise\" for example may have been pronounced **him** in one dialect and **hing** in another. In Kü-yuen's poems written B.C. 350 **him** is the only character in **ng** found rhyming in **m**. See Tyt.\n\nThe character **tang** is written phonetically with the help of **shang** anciently called **tang** and \"field\" in the sense of landed security for money lent or some other obligation. The explanation given in Sw. is **pa** \"eight\" and **hiang** \"towards.\" Sw. adds that **hang** is phonetic, that is with the sound **shang**. I suggest that it indicates giving and that 'shang ally represented by **pa hiang** \"towards.\" **Tang** is \"to bear,\" and is the same as **tam** \"to carry.\" The last of these characters has kept final **m**. The others changed it for **ng**. The moral word yielded to change more readily than the physical. The Mongol **damnaho** is \"to carry\" and **damjigor** \"a carrying pole.\"\n\n**Jen** or **aim** is \"to bear\". This is called **jen** in Canton, **nam** in Ningpo, **dam**, ...\n\nBut **n** and **d** are interchangeable letters. So here we have the same word as **tang** and **ting**.\n\nThus **Jen**, \"responsibility,\" \"official charge,\" that which is carried; **#jen**, \"focus,\" is the same thing. **Jen** or as it is in the North **hin**, is to rent a house, as **tang** is to give pledge for money. The verb **nang** \"to be able\" is probably only the same root \"to bear.\"\n\nThe oldest form of the root being **nim**, **tam** or **dam**, search should be made in other languages for corresponding words having any of these forms. For example in German, **nimm**, **nehmen**, \"to take,\" is according to many philologists an example of accidental coincidence. This opinion, however, cannot be safely maintained until there has been a detailed comparison of roots, a task which still remains to be undertaken.\n\n## JOSEPH EDKINS\n\n## THE EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM OF THE CHINESE\nThere appears to be no limit whatever to the age at which a Chinese may compete at the public examinations. No youth is held too tender, no age is deemed too venerable, that one should be disqualified to enter the lists on equal terms with the majority. According to the general rule, two successive years, out of every three, are devoted to the **sui kiao**, or examinations held by the Provincial Literary Chancellor for the degree of **siz ta'ai**; the third is a year for the **k'a k'ao**, or the examination held by the Special Commissioner (**chu k'ao**) for the degree of **chữ jên**. In many cases, however, there is an irregularity, and, whether it be that famine, rebels, or other plague have prevented the holding of an examination, or whether it be that the Examiner has been unable to do his duty for other reasons, the **sui** and **'o kao** will fall together, in which case a year remains vacant. Moreover when an accession to the Throne takes place, or a male heir is born to the Emperor, an extra **k'o 'ao**, which goes by the name of **ngên k'o**, is granted to each Province.\n\nLet us take a youth A.B. and follow him from the school to the chaplet of honour. His first step is to enter his name at the yamên of the magistracy, or **hien**, of his birth. To this place he betakes himself under the guidance of the **lin sheng**, or senior graduate of the magistracy. He hands in a **ts'ê** to, or slip, inscribed with his name, age, village, the names of his father, grandfather and great grandfather - his **san tai**. No one can compete at a Public Examination whose genealogy will not go back this far at least. His \"three generations are not clear\" **San tai pu ch'ing**. Also excluded from the lists are barbers, play-actors, personal servants, yamên-runners, nail-cutters, scavengers, and others, and also the descendants of these to the third generation. The magistrate collects these slips and, in the early autumn of every **sui kao** year, issues a notification, naming a day for the **hien k'ao** or \"Magistrate's examination.\" The entering of the name at the yamên entitles one to the appellation of **tung shiêng**, or undergraduate. The examination is held in the Magistrate's yamên, where there is always accommodation for five or six hundred undergraduates. Success follows as a matter of course, the test being only a nominal one, and none but the egregiously ignorant being discarded. The examination takes place at about 8 a.m., and the subjects are selected by the Magistrate in presence of the undergraduates, after the doors are closed. One theme in prose, and one in verse (**ên chung: shih**) are hung up within view of all. In about three days the list of retained candidates is exposed outside the yamên (**kua p'ać**), the first in order receiving the honorary title of \"Magistrate's choice\" (**hien p'i**). The single advantage which attaches to this honour is that, as a matter of courtesy, the Prefect, at the next examination, will endeavour to place his name among the first ten.\n\nAbout a month after the **hien kao**, the **Ju kina** takes place, at the Provincial Metropolis. Thither myriads of undergraduates wend their way from each magistracy to go through the formal and unprofitable Prefect's ...",

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA REVIEW.\n\n## NOTES AND QUERIES.\n\nMeanwhile there is a class of graduates called pa-kung, ngêu-kung, fu-kung, yu-kung, sui-kung, generically the five kung, (wu-kung),-about whom information will be gratefully received.\n\nX. Y. Z.\n\n## RESTORATION OF THE OLD SOUNDS OF THE CHINESE LANGUAGE.\n\nRev. J. Chalmers, in Vol. V., p. 297 of the China Review of this year, in treating on Chinese Etymology enters partially on this subject and states some objections to my mode of treating it in my \"Introduction to the Study of the Chinese Characters.\"\n\nHe does not quite accurately represent the two principles which he says lie at the foundation of my system. It can be shown, and I contend has been shown, that very many Chinese syllables which end in a vowel have lost a final consonant. This may be safely maintained on the evidence (1) of existing dialects where such a consonant is retained, (2) of the Kwang ya, Kwang yün, with other old rhymes, (3rd) of ancient rhymes, and (4th) of the phonetics. But it should not be said that all words ending in a vowel have lost a final consonant. It is not safe to say this, and I have avoided saying it. I may have restored some of the final consonants on insufficient grounds. In that case, I shall have to surrender them.\n\nWhen he says, \"Secondly, almost any consonant in the alphabet may in the course of time have changed to any other,\" he places the question of letter changes in a light favourable to acceptance on the part of the reader. Perhaps he is trying to amuse his reader. There is however no doubt that letter changes go on not irrespective of law, as he says I hold, but under the control of law, as I most firmly maintain.\n\nTransition from one letter to another must be smooth. How can ch a palatal letter interchange with a p a labial? Yet my critic ventures to take this case which would require a leap of the voice right across the tooth barrier, and place it in a parallel position with the transition of l to s or of s to sh through d. What I contend for is not that any letter may change to any other letter, but that whenever a change of letters takes place it is in accordance with the physiology of the voice and the facts of dialects.\n\nMy critic does not think 'sing and 藍 lam can be the same word. Let him show then that my reasoning is wrong. It is this. Te and l both come from d. A medial i comes from a. A final ng comes from m. Of these three propositions I have given proofs. See pp. 198 et seq., 210, 204 et seq. Both words are by this proof reduced to dam. The incredibility of which he speaks arises only from our habit of attaching modern sounds to the characters and our declining to give those sounds a thorough overhauling, to learn their original form.\n\nI wish Mr. Chalmers had made it clear what the Ku-wen characters in the Shwo-wen are. He translates \"Original characters;\" but does not this phrase rather mean \"currently accepted characters, or at least shapes accepted by the author as of standard authority\"? The author of the Shwo-wen surely did not intend to pronounce a decided judgment as to whether the 本字 or the 古文 was the primeval character, or to say that in every case the pen tsï was primeval and the ku wen not so.\n\nmeans an ancient form. When my critic says \"an ancient form, not the ancient form,\" he is too one-sided. Let him drop both \"an\" and \"the,\" I believe I have used \"the\" too much in my book. The correct view lies between us.\n\nIt is much to be regretted that Mr. Chalmers has not recognized cheerfully the doctrine of lost final consonants. Is not their preservation in the south-eastern provinces indicative of their presence in all those words which there belong to the ju sheng? The people who colonized those provinces came from the north. North China therefore retained the finals k, t, p down to the time when those provinces were colonized. Is it likely that the language was undergoing no changes before that time? Would not changes in the language before the time of Christ be likely to bear a certain analogy to those that took place after the time of Christ?\n\nInfluenced by considerations of this kind, I recognize most cordially the interesting discovery of Twan yi tsai, of the formation of the characters principally from A about that time, and I have also made most careful search in the tonic dictionaries for lost final consonants in phonetics now ending in vowels. The language is now throwing off consonants. Why should it not have done so anciently? I found consequently examples like she 6, 7 zhik, one of the highest importance, which I would very earnestly commend to the attention of my critic. If he would study this subject he would, I believe, find that we cannot safely date the time of the formation of the characters later than the Chinese put it. To have safe ground to go upon in chronology is an advantage.\n\nMy critic is afraid of final k in the character and prefers the Shwo-wen's account of the formation of this character to mine. He says that it is \"rational\" to derive it from \"thorn.\" He cannot, however, escape from final k (which he seems to dread very much) by thus sheltering himself under the shield of the Shwo-wen, for this word \"thorn\" has final k also. See my Introduction, p. 71, where he will find the opinion expressed that this character has in it also the idea of \"binding.\" I have not my books at hand where I am now writing; this then must suffice.\n\nAs to misprints and errors I shall be most happy to do all I can to correct them should the public demand a second edition, which however is not likely to be the case for some time, if ever.\n\nMay I urge on Mr. Chalmers the study of In shu ku, the learned work of Tei tung? He would not, if he had carefully examined this work, say that no one since the time of the Shwo-wen has done anything to promote the scientific study of Chinese characters (p. 302).\n\nWhy should the letter changes remain to him a profound mystery? When in his \"Origin of the Chinese\" he identified the Canton sound of \"fire\" viz. fo with the English \"fire,\" he would have been saved from this error by the knowledge of the fact that as the initial of hwo \"fire\" is a pure localism with no evidence whatever of antiquity attaching to it.\n\nMr. Chalmers having entered on an extensive comparison of Chinese words with those of other languages, the knowledge of letter changes in Chinese is essential to his success.\n\nThe well-known and very eminent Professor Pott of Halle has been criticising my \"Introduction\" at nearly the same time. His critique is found in \"Göttinger Gelehrte Anzeigen\" for the 14th and 21st of March 1877, and extends to 82 pages.\n\nHere is a specimen, p. 358, \"We may in general without error do homage to the fundamental proposition, viz. that the sound of the phonetic part of a character is an index to the pronunciation assigned to it at the time of the formation of the characters.\" He thus proceeds to analyse my method of inquiry into the sound of the primitive phonetics with great minuteness.\n\nIn pp. 378, 379, he alludes to the derivation of s, sh and (Engl.) th, ch from the tooth series, and remarks that if this is really the case, it deserves the philologist's most careful attention.\n\nI believe Professor Pott is admitted to be the greatest living representative of the orthodox school of comparative philology founded by Wilhelm von Humboldt, Grimm and Bopp. But even if Curtius, Pictet, Ascoli or others are by any one regarded as greater even than he, the very warm commendation he gives of my method and its results is extremely gratifying.\n\nAt the same time as a consistent member of the modern school of comparative philology...",

At first they shaved the head and wore a red ribbon twined in the queue. Latterly they joined the Tai Ping forces and let their hair grow long.) Illustrious services were rendered by the Eighty-Three Villages, who trained militia, and after severe fighting cleared the rebels from the region. The undersigned having received the Imperial Mandate to take in hand measures of Maritime Defence, have already reported to the Throne the institution of a system of local militia, and a Fishermen's contingent.\n\nA reference to the Provincial history shows that to the defences seawards of the Provincial capital of Kuang-chow, the nine districts of Nam-hoi, Pan Yü, Tung Kuan, Shun Tê, Hsiang Shan, Tseng Ch'êng, Hsin Hui, Hsin An, and Hsin Ning, are the keys.\n\nAt the present time when danger threatens from the sea, it is the duty of these nine districts to be animated by the same sentiment, and to fortify themselves by the union of a common resolve; to check internal treachery by the working of the system of joint security of Tithings, and resist foreign rapine by means of local Defence Corps. If peace is maintained, then by dividing for patrols and combining for pursuit, homesteads will be in security and the pest of piracy thereby allayed. If war is begun, then by guarding approaches and by the formation of a chain of defences, our renown will be enhanced, while military expenses are rendered needless.\n\nThe undersigned have learned that in the districts named, offices have been already opened, the tidal lands assessed for contributions, and a large number of guard-boats and patrol-boats collected, and that drilling goes on on dry land, so that at a given signal thousands of men can be assembled.\n\nA general order has now been issued to the Civil and Military Authorities to collect the managers of the various recruiting offices to continue drilling energetically, to use every endeavour towards a systematic selection and enlistment of crews for the patrol vessels, and the detachment of the latter to guard strategical positions; and, as regards the militia, to the collection of a force of men of fine physique and good training, to defend their native villages, and to be ready to be mobilised should invasion occur. For defending the provincial capital, for holding strategic points, for obstructing and intercepting the enemy, for following him up in the rear, for rendering services by successful slaughter of an enemy, for the burning or capture of his vessels of war, or for blowing them up by torpedoes, there will be a scale of rewards given without fail.\n\nOn the other hand, all persons who, as headmen of fishing stations or others, make this the occasion for dishonest extortions from the Tanka people, or cheating them on pretence of taking Play or License fees, and all persons who supply provisions or warlike stores to the invader, or who disloyally consent to act secretly as guides, shall be, on discovery, proceeded against and punished by military law.\n\nShould the enemy actually proceed to open hostilities and give battle to us, it follows that the wrong lies with them for not observing Treaties. All soldiers and civilians should devote themselves exclusively to driving away the enemy. With the remaining nations with whom we have commercial dealings, amicable relations have continued hitherto and no disturbance of these is permitted by outbreaks, which will be severely dealt with.\n\nBesides the issue of general orders to the various military and civil officials, and the selection and appointment of deputies for registering purposes in the different localities, it is incumbent to publish a proclamation on the subject; accordingly-\n\nIt is hereby proclaimed for the guidance of all heads and members of militia corps, that all should vent their antagonism, and show the good disposition with which Heaven has gifted them; that they should act in full unison with the naval and land forces, and that the militia in city and country should move together.\n\nIn the Book of History it is written-\n\nAs the people see so Heaven sees,\n\nAs the people hear so Heaven hears\n\nNever has it been known that strange tribes coming from a distance of thousands of miles should penetrate far into our borders when the minds of our people were united, nor defy Heaven by their overbearing aggression.\n\nWith regard to expenses, the regulations of the Recruiting Offices will still be in force, and with native resources, and by the help of native valour, may be safeguarded the lives and properties of the native population.\n\nFrom the spirit of loyalty and ardour comes a security as great as that given by \"walls of pure metal and moats of boiling liquid.\"\n\nExtraordinary heroism assuredly shall be rewarded by recommendation and promotion.\n\nSuch is what the undersigned earnestly hope. A special proclamation not to be disregarded.\n\nThe",

Your long connection with the School, extending over a period of more than twenty years, has made you the benefactor of thousands of youths in this colony and elsewhere, many of whom owe their success in life mainly to your liberal education, wise discipline, and careful training. As Head Master you have laboured long and perseveringly for the school, sparing neither time nor pains, and it must be gratifying to you to witness the satisfactory results of your arduous labours in seeing so many of your old pupils occupying numerous important and useful positions in this colony and other parts of the world. (Applause.) It is no less gratifying to you, I am sure, to meet such a number of them this afternoon in this old school-room where we have so often met before, and to receive from them their personal assurance of their deep appreciation and grateful acknowledgment of your valuable services, rendered to them and to their fellow countrymen. I assure you it gives us all very great pleasure to meet you here to-day, and you will do us much honour and favour by accepting from us the small token of regard and affection we now present to you in the shape of a scholarship founded in your name. May you long be preserved to the service of your country, and to the welfare and prosperity of this Colony. (Applause.) I now crave leave to read the address:— \n\nHongkong, February, 1884. The Honourable FREDERICK STEWART, LL.D., late Head Master of the Government Central School, Hongkong, \n\nDEAR SIR,—There has been a general and spontaneous feeling amongst your old pupils that some means should \n\nbe devised to express in some measure their grateful and profound esteem for yourself personally, and your most valuable services and work in connection with education in this Colony during a period of more than twenty years. The scope and value of your past services can only be adequately estimated or properly appreciated by those whom you sought to benefit by your learning, high personal example, constant kindness, indefatigable energy and wise discipline, and so we, who have been among the fortunate recipients of the fruits of your labour, wish to express our grateful remembrance and appreciative recognition in a becoming manner. \n\nThis is our object in coming before you to-day, and it is our desire in the first place, to give expression to the deep feelings of personal regard and high esteem which we in common with those of your pupils who are prevented by unavoidable causes from signing the address \n\nEnclosure \n\nC O. \n\n4283 \n\nROD \n\nor being present to-day, cherish towards you, and, secondly, to ask your permission to the founding of a scholarship at the Government Central School to be called \"The Stewart Scholarship,\" the funds necessary to endowing it having been subscribed for this express purpose by late pupils and scholars, who saw in this a way to give you a slight token of the honour and affectionate remembrance in which your distinguished connection with the School as Head Master for more than twenty years is held by them. We remain, yours very faithfully, \n\nHo Kai, Chairman \n\nWei Yuk, Hon. Treasurer Wong Yat Sun, Hon. Secretary Chun Shing Kong, Hon.

Those \"deep feelings of personal regard and high esteem,\" to which you have given expression in this address, I most cordially reciprocate. There is no portion of my past life to which I look back with greater pleasure than the years I spent at the Central School. When I think of the support which I invariably received from the community, and the untiring efforts of my scholars to profit by the instruction they received, I feel that I should be wanting in my duty if I did not avail myself of this opportunity to convey to those who treated me with such forbearance and confidence the assurance of my sincerest gratitude. But apart altogether from the honour you have this day conferred on me personally by endowing this scholarship and calling it by my name, I desire to assure you that it would have been impossible for you to have done anything which I appreciate so much as this substantial boon which you have bestowed upon the old school. I trust that those who may hereafter be successful in winning it will do as much as you have done to uphold the credit of the school, and continue to manifest the same feelings of regard towards it and towards all who are called upon to take part in the instruction of your successors. \n\n(Applause) \n\nThe company then adjourned to luncheon in an adjoining room, and a number of toasts were afterwards drunk, \n\nHis Excellency the GOVERNOR,\" in proposing \"The Queen,\" said-Gentlemen, as you all appear to have done full justice to the ample fare placed before us by our kind Chinese hosts and I am sure you will all agree with me there could not have been a better luncheon served on any table in any part of the world-- (applause)-I say after such a luncheon it is time we should proceed to the less substantial but perhaps more intellectual part of the proceedings. When I was asked by the old scholars to preside on this occasion I gladly consented to their request, partly out of respect to them and partly because I wished to show my sympathy with the graceful and gratifying mark of honour which they are paying to-day to my distinguished friend opposite, Dr. Stewart. (Loud applause). Of course it is my first duty as chairman to propose that toast which is the first toast in every assembly of British subjects",

        "content_text": "telegraph; and that the next generation will probably witness in China radical reforms, though, probably, most sweeping social and political revolution the present generation has witnessed in Japan.\n\nI have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant SM Bowen The China Mail. HONGKONG, MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1884.\n\nEnclosure 1.\n\nA CRISIS has occurred in Peking the Empress of China has publicly degraded Prince Kung and four members of the Privy Council for their dilatoriness in settling the disputes in Touquin.' These are the words of the latest telegraphic advice respecting the position of the dispute between France and China. It is to be regretted that the names of the four members of the Grand Council who have been degraded by the Empress-Regent are not given, because if they were one could judge with more certainty if this strong official proceeding favours peace or war. Prince Kung has generally been classed by foreigners as a member of what may be termed the war party. If this surmise be correct, the telegram indicates peaceful settlement of the difficulty. The reading of the telegram in this light is also supported by the wording of the advice. Dilatoriness in settling the dispute is complained of, and the highest Chinese official at Peking—Prince Kung is President of the Grand Council as well as of the Office for Foreign Affairs—is degraded in order apparently that the arrangement of terms between France and China may be hastened.\n\nA well-informed correspondent, writing to us from the North some days ago, shows us pretty clearly which way the wind was blowing, and almost anticipates this important telegram. He writes: The summons of Li Hung Chang to the capital, as has lately been reported from the North, is a sign that the Chinese Government is waking up to the gravity of the situation. For the last eight months that eminent statesman has been in the shade. The running has been taken out of his hands by such men as Prince Chun, Peng Yu lin, Tso Tsung-tang, and Tseu Yu Ying, who have been doing their very best, in a spirit of ignorant conceit, to bring the risks and dangers of a foreign war on their country, but now that it is apparent what a mess things are getting into, he has been recalled to help them out of the difficulty.\n\nIt is a sign that fresh considerations will be imported into the counsels of the Chinese Government, but, at the same time, those that are hoping for a speedy settlement must not be too sanguine of this result. Li Hung Chang is too good a patriot to advise his Government to accept anything like humiliating terms, even if his advice were all powerful, which we know at the present moment it is not, but it is most probable that he will urge a re-opening of negotiations with a view to prevent any further advance of the French troops towards the frontier, or any demonstration against other parts of the Empire. The Marquis Tseng has been apparently left without instructions pending the result of the operation against Bacninh, but we may expect to hear soon that he is in communication with the French Foreign Office, empowered to offer more liberal terms than heretofore.\"\n\nNone understand better than the Chinese how to spin out a diplomatic fight after it has been brought to the very brink of a settlement, or how much mere delay and worry counts in their favour. In this case, if they can only induce the French to postpone further action till the summer is well advanced, the odds will be greatly in their favour. The heat, malaria, fever and mosquitoes will play sad havoc in the French ranks, and there will be a general desire to get out of the place at all costs. A change of parties in France might materially alter the situation, and, in any case, the ardour of establishing a protectorate would probably have somewhat abated.\n\nBut we trust the French will not be ill-advised enough to listen to any proposal for delay. Whatever difficulties there may be in pressing forward at the moment, they will be greatly enhanced by a postponement. If action must be taken against some other part of China to enforce a settlement, it should be taken without delay. And we urge this not in the interests of either France or China particularly, but for the good of both. The longer the dispute is kept up, the greater the expenditure, and the more the difficulty of a final arrangement which shall not be ruinous to the one side or the other.\n\nThere is a not inconsiderable party in China, composed mainly of the so-called Compradoric class, who think that a sharp and decisive war, in which China should be utterly beaten, would be about the best thing that could happen to her. They think it would sweep away once and for all the cobwebs that Peng Yulin and such like have bound round the eyes of the Imperial Court, and enable men of clearer heads and broader vision to have their way in state affairs.\n\nIf the war were a war with England, we should be much inclined to agree with this view. We should know that in that case such terms would be made as would leave the country all the better for them. It is well known that Li Hung Chang, if he could only have his way, would sanction a concession for the construction of railways to-morrow. It is also well known that, if a concession were granted, the capital to any extent required would be forthcoming in a week. We also know that the mere building of the railway would, by the expenditure of the large sums paid for coolies' wages, confer a great and immediate boon on those districts through which it passed, and we know that in a few years it would carry new life and prosperity to parts that are now languishing Further, any one of half a dozen lines that might be mentioned would, if given fair play, be paying handsome dividends within a short period.\n\nAll these benefits are actually lying close at hand and capable of being immediately realized, but simply because Peng Yu-lin, and obstructionists like him, refuse to yield, they are likely to be deferred for the next fifty years. We do not blame these old conservatives so much as pity them. No doubt they are honest enough and think they are saving their country by keeping out such innovations, but none the less they are an incubus on the nation, Now if all these advantages could be secured to China at the cost of a war, then we agree\n\n517",

They will have the honour of addressing him again as soon as their Commissioner shall have been dispatched to Hong Kong, satisfactory Regulations agreed to, and a day for commencing the new system determined on.\n\nFor the present they send this reply.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 93. \n\nInstructions from the Tsung-li Yamên to Sir R. Hart, Inspector-General of Customs, dated April 29, 1886.\n\n(Translation.) \n\nYOU are hereby informed that upon the 28th April, 1886, the Yamên submitted a Sub-Memorial to the Throne requesting permission to send Inspector-General Hart to Hong Kong to concert with Shao Taotai in arranging the new Opium Rules, and on the same day the Grand Council were honoured with the receipt of an Imperial Decree in the words, \"Let it be as proposed.\"\n\nIt becomes the duty of the Yamên to forward you a copy of their Memorial, together with the Imperial Decree, transcribed with all reverence, and to instruct you respectfully to obey His Majesty's commands:---- \n\n[Sub-Memorial presented by the Yamên to the Throne.] \n\nThe Yamên would further observe that Shao Yu-lien Taotai, of the Su, Sung, T'ai Circuit in Kiangsu, who is going to Hong Kong jointly to consider the new Opium Rules, \n\nhas already arrived in Peking, and, in obedience to the Imperial command, has visited the memorialists' Yamên to consult with them on the various matters connected with his mission. He has also had frequent interviews with Hart, the Inspector-General of Customs, at which every point has been carefully gone into with a view to providing satisfactorily for each particular.\n\nThe institution, however, of new Rules requires care in its inception, and it is specially necessary that satisfactory Regulations should be arranged with the British officials at Hong Kong before smuggling can be put a stop to and every fraction of revenue be secured to the Public Exchequer.\n\nIt has to be observed that Inspector-General Hart has conducted the Customs Administration for over twenty years, and has given satisfaction in every particular, being thoroughly versed in rules for the prevention of irregularities. The memorialists therefore propose, after consideration of the question in conclave, to send Hart to Hong Kong with [Shao Taotai], as an additional [member of the Commission], as he will be able to form a connecting link in the relations between the Chinese and foreign members, and substantial results can be secured thereby.\n\nShould His Majesty deign to approve of this proposal, the memorialists' Yamen will instruct Inspector-General Hart to go accordingly to Hong Kong with [the...\n\nPage 363",

        "content_text": "96\n\nSun Shing had clusters of lanterns hanging in the arches, and the Medical Hall had strings of lanterns. The Pacific Mail Company's office was tastefully decorated with rows of lanterns, with the American flag and the Union Jack floating at each end, and small flags of the two nations crossed in the centre. Crossing over the street and proceeding eastwards, passing the Victoria Hotel, already described, we come to Messrs. Turner and Co.'s hong, where there was a pretty arrangement of Chinese lanterns. The China Fire Insurance Company had banners hanging from each window, and \"God bless our Queen\" worked in small oil lamps in front of the verandah. Acbee's furniture store had small coloured oil lamps along the balustrading of the verandah, and strings of Japanese lanterns. Messrs. Framjee Hormusjee & Co. had large clusters of coloured lamps hanging in each of the verandah arches, five on each floor, with stars of small coloured oil lamps on the pillars of the upper floor with spear heads of the same description of lamps on the end pillars, the whole forming a very beautiful display. Rose and Co. had a row of lanterns in front and Messrs. Wotton and Deacon a double row. Messrs. Lane, Crawford and Co.'s premises were tastefully decorated with two \"V. Rs.\" worked in flowers on the top of the porch, lanterns hanging in the porchway underneath, and clusters of lamps on the pediments.\n\nWestward of Pottinger-street one of the most striking illuminations was that of the Stag Hotel, which had a gilt framed oil painting of Her Majesty, with lamps round the arches of the verandahs of all four storeys, and a good display of lanterns on the side of the house. The Man On Insurance Co. also had an effective display, a large number of lanterns being used, many of them of unusual patterns. The Ko Shing Theatre had a \"V. R.\" in glass transparency over the door and the year \"1887.\" Lai Hing and Co. had a gaudy illumination, \"1887\" in the middle with the \"V\" on one side and \"R\" on the other. Other houses illuminated were The Land We Live In tavern, the Rose, Shamrock, and Thistle, the London Hotel, W. Peterson's boarding house, the German Tavern, and the Grand Hotel. The Fire Brigade Station had on the front face of the tower a design in small oil lamps - \"1837-1887\" in the middle, with the \"V\" and \"R\" on the right and left respectively. The Queen's-road side of the building had coloured lanterns. On Chinese establishments which had lit up we read the names of Ses Woo, tailor, Wang Hing, jeweller, Wing Hing, dealer in porcelain, Yu Chong, also dealer in porcelain, Tang Cheong, tailor, Kum Kee, Chinese shipping agent, E. Sing, printer, Fuk On, \"Agent in Sailors and Fireman,\" Yip Sang, dealer in curios, Woo Choong, compradore, Hung Shing, curio dealer, King Wo Shing, Him Wo, Ah Nam, tailor, Yee On, tailor, Yen Sing, curio dealer, Nam Hing Loong, compradore, Achan, photographer, Nam Shing, tailor, Yong Heng, dealer in Chinese goods, Aping, tailor, Ahing, tailor, Song Yuen, photographer, Sun Shing, curio dealer, whose show was considerably above the average; Wah Loong, dealer in Chinese goods, who also made a good show; Fung Hing, tailor, Teen Seng, printer, Seng Yuen, portrait painter, and Sam Hing Street, who had quite a brilliant display. Our enumeration, however, gives the names of only a small fraction of those who took part in the illumination and includes none of the large native hongs who have not their name in English on their signboard. The Chinese participation in the illumination as regards shops and houses, was very general, and in almost every street the Kai fong had done something in the way of erecting arches or sheds for the numerous entertainments and exhibitions of marionettes.\n\nGoing up Ice House Street, we noticed a square of white lanterns at the top of the Ice House, and at Afong's studio lanterns in clusters. Both Messrs. Gibb, Livingston and Co.'s and Messrs. Carlowitz and Co.'s hongs were brilliantly illuminated with rows of lanterns, and looking down Duddell-street steps the illuminations of the same houses on their other side were seen, as were the lanterns which lighted up the front of Messrs. Reiss & Co.'s premises. A fine gas illumination at Messrs. Noronha and Co's, in Zetland street, also showed up well from this neighbourhood. The design was \"Q. V., star, R. I.\" with the figures \"50\" beneath. The Masonic Hall had the square and compasses on its northern face, and the Masonic Club a similar design in red and white framed in blue lamps on the north, and on the south side the monogram V. R. in red lanterns above the entrance. Going along Albert-road the Public Offices were found in darkness, but the top of St. John's Cathedral tower was illuminated with blue lanterns and formed a conspicuous object from many points of view. St. John's Place was almost covered with lanterns, chiefly white and red, which had a most effective appearance standing out from the surrounding darkness from the few points from which they were visible.\n\nGovernment House had on its northern face the motto \"Domine salvam fac Reginam,\" illuminated by gas in globes in 4ft. letters; a 6ft. crown, two 7ft. stars, \"V. R.,\" two masonic stars, a half star of 10ft. diameter in the centre of the top cornice, two half-stars at the corners of the cornice, and a line of jets up the sides and along the top cornice; the effect of all this light artistically arranged was very fine. The other side of Government House was not illuminated, but the roadway, with numerous lanterns dotted about in the trees and on the bank of the Public Gardens and the small oil lamps running along the walls, was like a picture in fairy land. The entrance to Government House was decorated for day effect with imposing shields and trophies of flags. The Royal Artillery Mess in College Gardens was well lit up with lanterns and had a device springing from the roof.\n\nIn Stanley-street Messrs. Rozario and Co. had a gas illumination showing \"R. & Co.\" and the Oriental Dispensary, and Messrs. Dunn, Melbye & Co.'s and Mr. Brandt's establishments were illuminated with lanterns. In D'Aguilar-street Messrs. Gilman and Co. had a transparency over the door with the name of the firm and a large mass of lanterns. Messrs. Grossman and Co.'s hong was also lit up with lanterns, and amongst the occupants of Club Chambers on the opposite side of the street lanterns were hung out in profusion by Messrs. Justus Lembke & Co., Mr. Naudin, the Telephone Exchange, and the Punjom Mining Co. Messrs. Guedes and Co., at the corner of Wellington-street, had red and white lanterns on the top floor. Messrs. D. D. Oflia and Co. had lanterns arranged in the arches of the verandah and in lines below, and Mrs. Heymans, dressmaker, hung out the red ensign grouped with two French flags in the centre, and lanterns along the verandah. A large proportion of the Chinese in this street had also illuminated, amongst them Kwong Shing, contractor, Bing Shing, bootmaker, Chan Hang, printer, Yee Hing, contractor, Ling Atin, contractor, Wah Suo, picture frame maker, Hung Qua, portrait painter, who showed a specimen of his skill in a portrait of the Queen; Pow Chin, contractor, Sang Cheong, and Chee Sing, printer.\n\nIn Lower Wyndham Street the Club Germania was very tastefully illuminated with Japanese lanterns. The entrance was lined out in red and white lanterns, with one bearing the Union Jack in the centre and at the doorway the German and British flags were draped. Above was the red ensign with the German flag on each side. The remainder of the building was covered with white lanterns. The opposite buildings, occupied by Messrs. Raedecker & Co. and the China Mail, showed strings of coloured lanterns on the verandah of the upper storey, and many of the houses further up the hill were similarly decorated, one Chinese house occupied by Europeans, however, having flags and lamps stretching far across the road. The parapet of the tower of St. Paul's College was fringed with coloured lanterns, and from the summit rose a lofty cross formed by white Japanese lanterns, which from its commanding altitude was very conspicuous. Darkness reigned at the corner of D'Aguilar-street, but a very showy and well-designed arch was erected to form the entrance to Glenealy.\n\nThis was of imperial yellow picked out with leaf decorations and with green pediments. Over the archway were the words in scarlet on a blue ground \"Salve Imperatricem,\" and the face of the structure was ornamented with gilt stars and the arms of the three kingdoms on shields. Numerous coloured lanterns were suspended, and when illuminated it proved exceedingly effective. The road up Glenealy was lined throughout with various coloured lanterns, and the rockery in the centre half way up was covered with a pyramidal structure of lanterns. Mr. Bottomley's house and grounds at the foot of Glenealy were most tastefully lit up with lanterns and little glass lamps; the latter glittering among the trees had a very charming effect. Upper Wyndham Street and Hollywood Road were partially illuminated, but without any general design. Messrs. B. Mijran & Co., S. J. David & Co., Messrs. Kaw Hong Take & Co., and Messrs. Mirza Ebrahim & Co. were among the most brilliant, and further on several Parsee firms, Messrs. B. N. Mehta & Co., Tata & Co., Mehta & Co., and others, had quite a large display of lanterns in various designs.\n\n535\n\n9.",

Military services in the field never fail to meet with hearty appreciation from our fellow countrymen, but during the three years of my command here, I have had no opportunity of rendering such services; and although it is true, as you have been good enough to point out, that there have been several incidents in the course of that time which have called for vigilance and decision, the troubles have always blown over, and I had no reason to expect that they would live in your memories. Next to the approval of his sovereign, a soldier values the esteem of his fellow countrymen, and it is very encouraging to find that \n\n## Page 207",

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

        "content_text": "## 3 \n\nWuchow, the principle town of the Prefecture of Wuchow, is, at the same time, the seat of the District Magistracy of Ts'ang Wu, a name which appears at a very early date and occupies a prominent place in ancient Chinese history.\n\nThe mythical Emperor Shun (B.C. 2200) while on a tour of inspection of his southern domains died \"in the wilds of Tsang Wu,\" and one tradition at least relates that his grave is to be found in the Great Cloud Mountains, 3 miles to the east of Wuchow.\n\nOf the nine divisions into which the Great Yu (B.C. 2150) divided the Empire, Chingchou was the region lying between the Tungting Lake and the southern Kingdom of Yüeh—the present Annam—and of Chingchou Ts'ang Wu was an important sub-division. It is impossible to state with accuracy at what period Yüeh became tributary to China, but both the first Emperor Ch'in Shih-huang and the Emperors of the Han dynasty appear to have appointed officers to govern that territory on their behalf. Ch'in Shih-huang divided the hundred Yüeh into the three Provinces of Nanhai, Kuei-lin, and Hsiang, and when the rule of his house came to an end, a certain official known as Chao To took possession thereof, and, calling himself Emperor of Southern Yüeh, appointed Chao Kuang Prince of Tsang Wu, to reside at Kuang-hsin, an old town, 1 mile to the east of the present Wuchow.\n\nIn the year 135 B.C. Han Wu-ti dispatched one of his Generals, Fu Po, to conquer the Southern Yüeh, and he divided it up into seven districts known as Nanhai, Tsang Wu, Yü-lin, Ho-p'u, Chiao-chi, Chiu-chen, and Jih-nan, placing them under the control of an officer known as the Governor of Annam to reside at Kuang-hsin.\n\nIn 592 A.D. the present city of Tsang Wu was built and thenceforward became the seat of Government. The Province of Kuanghsi was first defined in 1364 by the last of the Sungs, and in 1465 the office of Governor-General of the Liang Kuang was instituted by the Ming Emperor Ch'êng Hua. This officer resided for some sixty years at Ts'ang Wu, and then occasionally went to reside at Shao-ching, returning as necessity arose to Wuchow. At the commencement of the present dynasty, this state of things still obtained, but in 1665 the seat of Provincial Government was transferred to Kuei-lin, and Wuchow reverted to the status of an ordinary prefectual city.\n\nIn the autumn of 1857, it fell after a siege of 100 days into the hands of the Boat rebels, who, availing themselves of the anarchy caused by the Taiping rebellion, appear to have harried this and the neighbouring province for many years; the city was retaken two years later.\n\nAs above stated, the old city and district were known as Kuang-hsin, and the site thereof was on the ground lately purchased by Jardine, Matheson, and Co.\n\nThe present city, which is about 1,300 years old, stands at the junction of the Fu or Kuei River and the waterway known to foreigners as the West River. Its position has ever been considered by the Chinese one of great strategic importance, in as much as it controls the passage to and from the provinces of Kuangtung and Kuanghsi. In the middle of the main river, 2 miles below the town, is an islet known as Hsi Lung Chou, which in native opinion forms the key to the water system of the whole province. The point of confluence is known as San Chiang Ho, or the junction of the three rivers, and it may not be without interest if I endeavour to give a rough sketch of the streams which here unite and form the West River proper. Not, however, having a single reliable map at hand and having no guide but the notorious inaccuracy of Chinese geographers, the attempt is not likely to prove of much value. (Extracted from the Prefectural Topography.)\n\nThe three rivers are, I, the Li River, II, the Yu or right River, and III, the Tso or left River.\n\n### The Three Rivers\n\n| River | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| I. The Li-chiang | rises in the north-east corner of the province on the Haiyang range, and, flowing past Lingch'uan, Kueilin, and Pinglo, enters the West River at Wuchow. |\n| II. The Yu-chiang | is formed by (1) the Lung River and (2) the Fung River, which, after uniting at Lin-ch'êng, are joined lower down by (3) the Hung-shui River, and meet III at Hsun-chou. |\n| III. The Tso-chiang | is formed by (1) the Tsang-ko River and (2) the Chiao-chih River, together with several smaller streams. |\n\n1. The Lung-chiang rises in Kuei-chou, and flows past Ch'ing-yüan.\n2. The Fung-chiang rises in Kuei-chou, and flows past Huai-yüan.\n3. The Hung-shui-chiang rises in Yunnan, and flows past Hsi-lung, joins (1) and (2), united at Lai-pin.\n\n1. The Tsang-ko-chiang rises in Yunnan, flows past Tien-chou, and joins (2) at Ho-chiang-chên.\n2. The Chiao-chih-chiang rises in Tongking.\n\n(1) and (2), after their junction, flow past Nanning, and are known as the Yu River, until they reach Hsin-chou. The name West River is not given to the main stream until it crosses the border of Kuangtung 10 miles below Wuchow. Here it is known as the Wu-chiang.\n\nThe city of Wuchow contains some 40,000 inhabitants, and the districts controlled by the Prefecture are Tsang Wu, Huai-chi, Ts'en-chi, Teng, and Tung. The aboriginal inhabitants were known as Yao and Tung, and during the Ming dynasty appear to have given the officials much trouble. Since then, however, they have gradually assimilated with the Chinese, and I do not believe there are any distinctive aboriginal villages in the Prefecture.\n\nOf the town, little is to be said; it is essentially one of mean streets, low-lying, and constantly liable during the summer to inundation. The business quarter extends along the banks of both rivers to the south and west of the city wall, and it is surprising that the Cantonese, who form 99 per cent. of the mercantile community, should put up year after year with the loss of business and other inconveniences which are the result of the annual submersion of their premises.\n\nA disastrous fire which took place some two years ago has led to the introduction of a steam pumping-engine, and the laying of fire mains in the suburbs, but the system is not yet in working order.\n\nI have not been here for a sufficient length of time to see what effect freshets on the Fu River have; the period during which it is stated to be most violent is when the West River is low and unable to dam up the accumulated mountain torrents which rush down its sloping bed. To judge, however, by the fact that for centuries it was spanned by a bridge of boats a few hundred yards above its mouth, there would seem to be no reason why communication between Wuchow and the west bank of this river should be cut off for days at a time. In 1472, Hanfeng, a famous Governor-General then resident here, threw a bridge of fifty-six boats across the river, and supported it by chains fastened to two iron posts on either bank. This bridge continued in existence till well on into the present century, and was first broken off, I believe, when the rebels made their appearance before the town. The four iron posts still remain in a state of almost perfect preservation. In 1596, a similar bridge of 142 boats was thrown across the main river, but it does not seem to have been kept up for any considerable number of years. The engineering difficulties to be contended with are of course much greater on the main river than on the Fu Ho, owing to the very great difference between the West River's summer and winter levels. This summer, the river commenced to rise shortly after my arrival, and reached its highest point on the 1st July, 35 feet above the water-mark of the 15th June. It fell, however, very rapidly, and again rose some 15 to 20 feet about the beginning of August. The bank of the West River is a mud flat sloping at an angle of about 45 degrees, whereas the banks of the Fu River are rocky and steep. The colour of the water in the latter is the clear green of a mountain stream, in marked contrast to the yellow muddiness of the main river.\n\nA small hill opposite the city, known as the Fire Hill, would appear to have been at one time in a state of active volcanic eruption, as up to the middle of the fourteenth century, it was constantly emitting fire. Local notes, too, have innumerable notes of earthquakes having occurred in the Prefecture.\n\n### Local Revenue\n\nAs regards local revenue, this Prefecture is considered the wealthiest in the province, owing to the fact that the greater proportion of imports into, and exports from, Kuanghsi must pass the four custom-houses—which are now increased to five by the addition of the Maritime Customs—which line the river bank. The Prefectural custom-house, at which all produce must pay duty, has an annual revenue of 130,000 to 140,000 taels, of which sum only some 70,000 taels has to be remitted to the Provincial Treasury. The chief source of revenue is duty on rafts, of which great numbers pass down the river. The land tax is fixed at 53,314 taels per annum, and the salt duties at 46,828 taels.\n\nThe Wuchow Li-kin Office controls four stations, three at Wuchow itself, and one...",

I said I was a new man, but I would enquire.\n\n6. I accordingly made enquiries of old Excise Officers and of Shea Wai accountant to the Opium Farmer. I was told that hush money was paid to the Police, that it was paid every month but only during the months when the smuggling of Opium took place. Also that the Opium Farmer did not pay the hush money but that it was paid by those who smuggled the Opium. The accountant Shea Wai told me that Wong Yau was the man who found the money required for the Police, I knew Wong Yau. He was a countryman of mine. Wong Yau was a broker and I was told used to purchase from the Opium Farmer for the smugglers the opium intended to be smuggled.\n\n6. I was told the names of various members of the Police Force, both European and Chinese as those who were paid hush money. I was told that the European Members of the force who were paid hush money were Inspectors Corcoran, Stanton and Quincey and Sergeant Holt.

Yang Hsiang Pu said:\n\nI am a native of Tan Ton village in the district of Nam Hoi. My age is 45 years. My father is dead; my mother's maiden name was Chan. I have no brothers. I am married, my wife's family name being Feng, and we have sons and daughters. I was formerly a student of medicine in the establishment of one Chia, called the Po Chi Medical Hall. Afterwards, I opened a doctor's establishment in the Hua Wang Street outside the West Gate of Hsiang Shan District City, and am now practising as a Doctor in Canton outside the South Gate in the Ma Ton Chih Chieh. I have been acquainted with Yang Chu Yun, Sien Yu Cheng, Shih Ching Ju, Si Chi Tang, Chen Kuei Shih, Wing Tuo Fu, Teng Jui Nan.\n\nIn the 7th moon, date not remembered, but some time after the 10th day (4th August), I, having business, went to Hongkong and met Yang Chu Yun at the Office of the \"Chinese Daily Press\", in which paper Chen Kuei Chih had a share. Chen Kuei Shih and Shih Ching Ju were with us at table, and they put heads together and talked secrets. I asked Sien Yu Cheng about it, and Yang Chu Yun, hearing this, forthwith told Shih Ching Ju, and they all said that I too was a man who could join in with them, that there was no need of reticence, and that they could tell me all. They invited me to sit with them, and they said that this present time of disorder in the North furnished just the opportunity to effect the assassination of all the Officials of Kwang Tung Province and loot all the Treasuries, and the houses of the rich in Canton, thus at once acquiring wealth. I was smitten with fear and dared not consent with them. Then the party broke up.\n\nI at once returned to Canton, and it was not till the middle decade of the 8th moon (September 4–13), exact day not remembered, that Shih Ching Ju arrived back from Macao and came to my Medical Hall, and said that Yang Chu Yun had the day before come to his place at Macao and said that he was determined to carry out the aforesaid plot of assassination and that he had already a scheme in which he wanted me to take a hand. He specially told Shih Ching Ju to come and ask me to go along to Hongkong.\n\nThe following day, I reached Hongkong. While we were in the Office of the \"Chinese Daily Press\", Yang Chu Yun came back from No. 11 in the Chish Tze Street, a house rented for residence by a Japanese, to the Office where I saw him. There were a good many people about the place, and we signed to each other not to speak of the secret plot.\n\nSubsequently, Yang Chu Yun took the party to the third and highest story of the Newspaper premises and discussed secretly with me, Shih Ching Ju, and the others, saying that the killing of the Officials was really a difficult matter to find men to accomplish. Further, the Officials in Canton being numerous, it was impossible to take action against them all at one time; a very good plan would be to conceal dynamite and effect a number...\n\nPage 232\n\n...\n\n...",

I am 44 years of age. I was employed there as a coolie and also as a police informer. I first entered the service of Ng Lo Sam at the taking over of the New Territory. I went with him the day that there was fighting at Tai Po. In the 8th moon I was employed by Ng Lo Sam to trace out refugee rebels here in Hong Kong. On the 19th of the Intercalary 8th moon a party of officials came down from Canton to consult about the murder of Yeung Kui Wan. Ng Lo Sam first spoke to me about killing Yeung Kui Wan on the 12th day of the Intercalary 8th moon. It was at his house in Wo Fung Street. No one else was present. He said \"Yeung Kui Wan cannot be fetched to Canton. Can you find a man to murder him?\". I said I could not find a man. He said \"All right, I will go up with you to Canton and I will get Ma Wong Hoi's party\". On the 13th we went up. He went by Hoi Tong and I by the Po On. He took me with him as he wanted me to take part in it. He wanted me to pilot the party in Hong Kong. On the 19th we came back by the night boat and arrived here on the morning of the 20th day. About the 28th of the 9th moon Ma Wong Hoi, Ma Wong On, Chan Yu, Wong Ting San, Chan Sing and two others came down to Hong Kong. The whole of Ma Wong Hoi's party went to the Yan On boarding house. I went to Sai Wo Lane where I lived at the time. On different occasions at Ng Lo Sam's house, at the Ching Wa Shu She club we discussed the murder of Yeung Kui Wan. Ng Lo Sam was present. I have heard Ng Lo Sam say \"If I cannot truck him to Canton there is a newspaper office which he frequents - the Chung Kwok Po. Get someone to follow him and shoot him either in his way from his house to the newspaper office or at the newspaper office or at his own house\". He told us that the street where the newspaper office was was not",

        "content_text": "## THE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS\n\n[May 23, 1903]\n\n### CRIMINAL JURISDICTION\n\n#### BEFORE HIS HONOUR SIR HENRY S. BERKELEY (ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE)\n\n##### THE GAGE STREET MURDER TRIAL - SENTENCE OF DEATH\n\nThe trial was continued of Lui Chui alias Li Kwai Fan who was charged with the murder of a Reformer schoolmaster at 52, Gage Street on 10th January, 1901.\n\nMr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., Acting Attorney-General (instructed by Mr. F. B. L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor), conducted the prosecution; and Mr. T. Morgan Phillips, barrister-at-law, was for the defence.\n\nChan Wan, who had been under examination when the Court rose on the previous night, was again put in the witness-box. He said he was employed at present as a cook on board the `Zafiro`. He knew the prisoner, who was nicknamed \"Sow\" (\"jutting teeth\") by reason of the peculiar formation of his teeth. Witness's brother Chan Lam Tsai was a member of the gang, and was executed because two letters were found in his possession by Li Ka Chuk. Witness had seen and read the letters, which did not relate to the murder directly, simply asking his brother to come down to Hongkong from Canton, as the Government of Hongkong wanted him. One of the letters was sent by \"Mai\" (the Chinese for Mr. May, then Captain Superintendent of Police). Witness was present at the execution of his brother, whose head was cut off on the Honam side of Canton. He remembered the murder of Yeung Kue Wan, and during the few months preceding it, witness was living at Canton with his brother, who rented the house and lived in it with his family. His brother was a soldier and a gambler - a soldier when times were busy and a gambler when they were slack. Li Ka Chuk, the mandarin, was the head of the Chuk regiment. Ko Ping Shan, whom witness knew, was one of Chuk's soldiers, called at witness's brother's house on 6th January, 1901, and the two - the brother and Ko Ping Shan - had a conversation, after which they went to Li Ka Chuk's barracks. When he came back, he had a conversation with Tung Cheung, the other man living in the house, and very early next morning all three - witness, his brother, and Tung Cheung - went to Chuk's barracks. Witness remained outside, but the other two went in and later on sent for him. When he entered, he saw the captain of the `Kin Yai` and the other two besides one of Li Ka Chuk's braves and a fourth member of the gang named Tsui.\n\nCross-examination continued - The pilot did not ask the witness to leave the room when he was discussing the project, in which the accused asked him to participate. His reason for not joining in it was that he was too busy with the cooking, and he did not make a report to the police because prisoner threatened to kill him if he did.\n\nRe-examined - The prisoner was arrested long before the police came to see him.\n\nChan Wan said he met the gang in Canton after the murder. Witness's elder brother, Lam Tsai, stated that he entered the house first and did the actual shooting. Tung Chung accompanied him. Tsui Fuk and the prisoner remained outside. Three of the gang received the greater part of the money reward; these were the prisoner, who got $2,000; Lam Tsai $2,000, and Tung Chung $2,000. He did not know what the other man received. These three also got buttons of the fifth rank, along with about twenty others. Witness saw two of the diplomas of rank, one in the possession of his elder brother Lam Tsai and one in the possession of Tung Chung. He produced and identified the patent, which belonged to his elder brother; it bore the date 30th January, 1901. The patent was sealed with the viceregal seal of Viceroy Tak. It stated that Chau Tai Oa (the official name of Chan Lam Tsai) had exerted himself in the arrest of the leader of the Ko-lo Society and other members of secret societies, and great credit was due to him.\n\nCross-examined - Before the death of Yeung Kue Wan, prisoner was unknown to him. Prisoner was not present at the house of his brother and at Li Ka Chuk's barracks in Canton. It was Li Ka Chuk who instructed his brother to carry out the murder.\n\nKong Ngau Ying, a fishmonger from Yaumati, deposed that he first met the prisoner on 8th January, 1901, at West Point with Lam Tsai and others. There they went into a brothel. He knew Lam Tsai. Afterwards, he learned that two of the others along with the prisoner were Tung Chung and Tsui Fuk. He saw prisoner again on 10th January at West Point in the Street; along with him were Chan Lam Tsai, Tung Chung, and Tsui Fuk. They took witness to an eating-house. After that, they went to the house of Ng La Sam, whom he had known. Li Chi Tin, between ten and twenty years, secretary to Li Ka Chuk, was there; also a man named Yeung Ching Kai, captain of the `Ai Yu`. Li Chi Tin asked him whether he \"wished to go or not.\" Witness asked \"Go where?\" Li Chi Tin replied \"To go to shoot Yeung Kue Wan.\" Witness said he was not going. Prisoner and the others were all present. Li Chi Tin then said \"Why don't you go? there is a reward of between $10,000 and $21,000 and you will get an appointment as a mandarin\"; adding that the reward would come from Viceroy Tak. Li Chi Tin explained that Yeung Kue Wan was the \"emperor\" of the Waichou rebellion.\n\n| Name | Role |\n| --- | --- |\n| Lui Chui alias Li Kwai Fan | Accused |\n| Chan Lam Tsai | Brother of Chan Wan, member of the gang, executed |\n| Tung Chung | Member of the gang |\n| Tsui Fuk | Member of the gang |\n| Li Ka Chuk | Mandarin, head of the Chuk regiment |\n| Viceroy Tak | Viceroy who offered the reward |\n\nThe jury retired to consider their verdict at 4:50, returning to the Court at 5 o'clock.\n\nThe Foreman announced that the jury unanimously found the prisoner guilty.\n\nHis Lordship addressing the prisoner said - \"You have been found guilty of the murder of Yeung Kue Wan. If when you said that you did not commit the murder, you meant that it was not by your hand that this man met his death, then your statement was true. The charge against you is not that you yourself did the deed, but that you were one of a gang of four men who went to his house for the purpose of killing him and did kill him.\"\n\nThe sentence of the Court therefore was that he be taken from hence to the place from whence he came and from thence on a day to be hereafter fixed to the place of execution; and that there he be hanged by the neck until he be dead, and that thereafter his body be buried in such a place as the Governor may direct, and 'may the Lord have mercy on his soul.\n\nAs the prisoner was removed from the dock, he exclaimed, \"It is a false accusation.\"\n\nThe Acting, Attorney-General said he wished to draw his Lordship's attention specially to the services of Sergeant O'Sullivan, who had had charge of this case from the beginning and had collected all the evidence in the case.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General in addressing the jury said his friend on the other side had asked every witness why he did not tell the police of the plot to murder Yeung Kue Wan, and each one had answered that he was afraid of the Chinese Government.\n\nHis Lordship in summing up said the defence of the evidence for the Crown was based on this - that if it had been as the witnesses said, they would have gone to the police or ought to have gone to the police and saved the man Yeung Kue Wan.\n\nThe jury would be justified in accepting it as a fact that he would not have been able to call witnesses to prove that he was not in Hongkong at the time witnesses said he was.\n\nThe Court adjourned.",

Chan Tat-shing (74) Canton.\n\nHo Tsz San (何子珊), Macao.\n\nChan Wai-ngok (1) Canton.\n\nThere are four or five editors but it is possible to obtain the name of only one Lau Ching-lun (2)†. Perhaps he will be willing to give the information necessary to ascertain the individuals directly responsible, and I recommend that his banishment be conditional.\n\nVIC 958 ML\n\n9980 Rad #1 Ësue.

        "content_text": "As the French are about to resume railway construction on the frontier, and with the continuation of the Tonquin main line from Hanoi to Lungchow and Nanning, the Province of Kuangsi will inevitably be brought under French influence, and the French authorities will undoubtedly endeavour to arrange with the Chinese Government for special facilities for rail-borne cargo crossing the frontier. Under these circumstances, the presence of a British Consular officer at Nanning might perhaps prevent any serious steps being taken to the detriment of British trade; he would, in any case, be able to obtain early information as to what was going forward.\n\nAs regards the future competition of the French railway system with the West River trade route, and the substitution of Hanoi for Hong Kong as the distributing centre of South-West China, I do not think the latter port has anything to fear as long as the Chinese Government continue to grant reasonable facilities to foreign trade on the West River and the shipping Companies of Hong Kong continue to maintain and improve their steam-boat services. What is now being done in this direction I shall briefly refer to in the next section, but I would here venture to call attention to the vital importance of the West River to the trade of Hong Kong. We have here one of the largest rivers in China, second only to the Yang-tsze in commercial importance, traversing and, with its tributaries, draining the whole of the Provinces of Kuangtung and Kuangsi, and parts of Yunnan and Kueichow, to join the ocean in the waters of a British Colony. To-day steamers and steam-launches are taking passengers and cargo from Hong Kong, Canton, and all the principal towns in the delta, to Samshui, Wuchow, Nanning, and even Posé, distant 750 miles from the coast. By means of this service, assisted by native shipping, foreign goods can reach by water all the principal markets in South-Western China - to Shaokuan and Nanhsiung (Namheung), on the borders of Kiangsi; to Kueilin, on the borders of Hunan; to Posé, on the borders of Yunnan; to Lungchow, on the Tonking frontier.\n\nIt is surely to the interest of the Chinese Government, as well as the British, to develop the natural advantages of this wonderful network of waterways, and prevent its growing trade being diverted to the artificial channels of the French railway system.\n\nPage 2\n\nThe site selected by the Chinese authorities for the foreign Settlement at Nanning is on the right bank (city side), distant about a mile down river from the South Gate. It consists of an oblong tract of high ground - the highest ground in fact in the neighbourhood - and has a frontage of about 970 yards, with a depth of 390 yards. Not more than a quarter of this area is at present available for building purposes; the remainder consists of ponds which will have to be filled in, presumably at the expense of the Chinese Government. The proposed site is, in my opinion, open to two serious objections. In the first place, I do not think that a foreign Settlement is required at Nanning at all. As I have said before, it is extremely unlikely that foreign merchants will ever settle at Nanning; they will be represented by Chinese agents who will, of course, live in the city, where they will be in touch with the native hongs. At Wuchow there is no foreign Settlement and, after an experience of seven years, the necessity for one has not - as far as I am aware - made itself felt. The only foreigners who are likely to reside in Nanning when the port is opened, are the officials of the Imperial Maritime Customs and the foreign Consuls; these will have no difficulty in securing suitable building sites in such positions as they may find most convenient. In the second place, the proposed site is too far removed from the business centre of the city to be suitable as an anchorage for steamers and a landing-place for passengers. At Wuchow, the Customs, when the port was first opened, acquired land for the Custom House and offices below the town in much the same position as the site proposed at Nanning; this ground has never been built on, the Customs' offices are located on hulks, locally known as \"páis,\" moored in the river about half-a-mile above the Customs' property, and as the shipping trade of the port is obviously centring at the junction of the two rivers, it is an open question whether the Customs would not be well advised in removing their offices to the corner of the Fu Ho, where they would be in a position to easily control the steam traffic, both up river and down river. The conditions at Nanning are similar in many respects; launches will load and discharge their passengers and cargo alongside \"páis\" moored off the business suburb of the city, and the Customs, at any rate in the beginning, will doubtless find it convenient to locate their offices in the same neighbourhood.\n\nI ventured to express these opinions to the Taotai, and I added that should it become necessary to open the port at an early date I did not think the demarcation of a foreign Settlement area need be considered as an indispensable preliminary. I instanced the case of Yochow, where, I understand, the Chinese Government went to considerable expense in laying out a foreign Settlement, the necessity for which the trade of the port has not hitherto justified.\n\nThe Taotai concurred in my views, but gave me the impression that the provincial authorities were anxious to set apart this tract of ground as an international Settlement in order to prevent the French railway administration obtaining exclusive control over it at some future date. The proposed site for the railway terminus is, however, on the other side of the river.\n\nPage 3\n\nSection III - Steam Navigation on the West River above Wuchow.\n\nI will preface my remarks in this section by a short description of the waterways above Nanning. At San Chiang kou (Sam kong hau), about 25 miles beyond, the river again divides into two branches, the southern, called Tso Chiang (left river), leading to Taiping and Lungchow; the northern, called Yu Chiang (right river) to Posé. Lungchow is distant from Nanning 100 miles, but only 30 from Tong Dang, the present terminus of the Tonquin Railway. No steam-launches have yet succeeded in reaching the port, but I believe an attempt was to be made with a light-draught launch shortly after our visit to Nanning. The river is shallow, and obstructed by rocks and rapids. I understand, however, that the clearing of a channel suitable for light-draught steamers presents no engineering difficulties, and the merchants of Lungchow and Taiping would doubtless contribute liberally towards the expense of a work which would place them in regular steam communication with Nanning. The Posé branch, although the longer of the two, is reported to be navigable at high water for light-draught launches; in fact, a launch left Nanning for Posé while we were there, but was recalled at the instance of the Commissioner of Customs at Wuchow, as her owner had not obtained the necessary permit to run on inland waters hitherto unvisited by steamers. I am informed that the Po On Steam-launch Company, owners of a fleet of inland water launches on the river, applied for permission to run to Posé over a month ago, but no reply has yet been received from the Minister of Commerce. As the high-water season is now far advanced, this praiseworthy enterprise will have to be deferred to another year. Article 7 of the Additional Rules for Inland Water Navigation appended to the new Treaty says that in the case referred to the Chinese authorities shall at once give their approval.\" The present Report is, perhaps, not the place in which to discuss these new Regulations; I would, however, point out that both Articles 7 and 8 contain clauses which, if literally interpreted, will cause Launch Companies on the river considerable inconvenience. The referring, for instance, of applications to ply on inland waters exclusively to the Chinese Government - if by that term is meant the Ministry of Commerce - will seriously interfere with the launches at present plying between up-river ports, which must vary their runs according to the state of the river, and are constantly being withdrawn for repairs.\n\nDuring the high-water season, lasting from about April to September, launches drawing not more than 4 feet can reach Nanning. Four vessels, of which three are under the British flag, have been running regularly during the past summer.\n\nAs a typical example of the type of vessel employed, I give the dimensions of the \"Choyfat\": length, 75 feet; beam, 12 feet; tonnage (registered), 17; draught, 3 feet. These launches stop at all recognized passenger stations en route, and are invariably crowded with passengers. They make the journey from Wuchow to Nanning, under favourable circumstances, in four days, as against four weeks taken by a junk. So far, the launches carry hardly any cargo, nor do they tow cargo boats, the passenger trade is sufficiently remunerative. As steam towage is rapidly increasing on the lower river no doubt it will come into vogue on the upper river when the launch tonnage increases.\n\nBetween Kueihsien and Wuchow a regular daily service of passenger launches is maintained during about nine months in the year; at Konghau, the Kueihsien boat transfers her passengers to a larger boat for Wuchow. The Wuchow-Konghau launches run practically all the year round. To show the rapid growth of this passenger traffic during the last six years I append the following Table:\n\n  \n    [2156 3-4]\n  \n  \n    B 2\n  \n  \n    608\n  \n\nPage ...",

A considerable quantity of native opium, he said, passed through Shiu-kuan, coming from Szechuan, Hunan, and Ch'u-chou in Chekiang. It paid at present only 2 taels per picul duty, but this was shortly to be raised.\n\nShiu-kuan is surrounded by a crenellated wall in an unusually good state of preservation. The principal business quarter is the Cantonese suburb, outside the wall facing the North River. The Yamêns are in the so-called native or Hakka quarter, within four minutes' walk of the West Gate. There are besides a Hunanese and a Kiangsi quarter. Opposite the West Gate is the suburb destroyed by the Taipings, now a heap of grass-covered ruins. Here the Wesleyan Mission are erecting their new house in foreign style, and propose, when funds permit, to build a hospital. A fair number of junks were anchored on both branches of the river, but the shipping and movement of the place did not, I must confess, come up to my expectation.\n\nThe population is estimated by the missionaries at over 100,000.\n\nOn the afternoon of our arrival, I called with Captain Vaughan on the Taotai, Ch'ang, Tuan-pen, who is Intendant of the Nam Shao Lien (Namheung, Shao-chou Lienchou) circuit.\n\nHaving previously sent a deputy on board to make inquiries regarding the rank of a British Consul—I was apparently the first official of the kind whom the Taotai had come in contact with during his seven years' tenure of office—chairs were sent to convey us to the Yamên, and we were received with the customary salutes and ceremonies. The Taotai was most cordial, and discoursed intelligently on current political topics.\n\nHe expressed surprise that the \"Robin\" had been able to reach Shiu-kuan, and his opinion that steamers could not with safety ply on this part of the river was doubtless confirmed by the subsequent unfortunate stranding of that vessel 3 miles below the city.\n\nI told him that, in my opinion, light draft stern-wheelers should be able to reach Shiu-kuan without difficulty during the five summer months, and he entirely agreed with me as to the benefits to be derived from steam communication with Canton. Asked as to the state of the country under his jurisdiction, the Taotai said that brigandage of the kind prevalent in the neighbouring province of Kuangsi was, happily, of rare occurrence, but that the members of the Triad Society (Sau Tien-hui), reinforced by refugees from Kuangsi, had for some time past caused considerable trouble in the districts around Shiu-kuan. He ascribed their activity—somewhat unjustly, I thought—to the machinations of Kang Yu Wei and his followers.\n\nFrom Mr. Dewstoe, the resident Wesleyan missionary, I subsequently learned that the Taotai had the reputation of being well-meaning, but weak; that he was anxious to retire, being quite unable to cope with the growing lawlessness in his jurisdiction; that the Triads had adherents among all classes of the people—even in the Yamêns—and that with the small military force at their disposal—about 200 men in all—the officials were powerless to check the constantly recurring outrages committed in the name of the Society.\n\nAs an instance of this, I was told that a few weeks before our arrival, a young scholar, whose father, in his capacity of village elder, had incurred the enmity of the Triads, was cut in pieces in broad daylight on the highway within 6 miles of the city. Two Buddhist priests, who were subsequently arrested, confessed to their share in the murder, and in the books seized in the monastery to which they belonged were the names of several prominent residents of Shiu-kuan and two or three of the head runners in the Magistrate's Yamên.\n\nThe following morning, the Taotai returned our call, and was saluted by the \"Robin\" with six guns, three on arrival and three on departure. This salute, which I am aware is in excess of that allowed by the King's Regulations, was given by Captain Vaughan at my written request: firstly, because we had been similarly saluted at the Taotai's Yamên; secondly, because the Magistrate at Yingtak having received three guns, I considered that the Taotai, his superior, and the principal territorial official in this part of the province, was entitled to some additional mark of respect, the visit of a British gun-boat and Consul being in itself a more or less memorable occurrence.\n\nThe Taotai mentioned that two Japanese merchants had recently visited him and announced their intention of starting business in the city. He had informed them that this was impossible, as Shiu-kuan was not yet a Treaty port. They were, I understand, interested in coal. There are coal mines in the neighbourhood of Shiu-kuan, situated within 5 miles of the city up both rivers, which have been worked for some years past by native methods; the present output is inconsiderable, and the coal, taken from the surface, of poor quality. It sells in Shiu-kuan for about 6 dollars per ton.\n\nThe Taotai, when I remarked on the anomaly that practically all the coal consumed by steamers in Canton and on the rivers was imported from Japan, while large deposits of this valuable fuel were known to exist in various parts of the Canton Province, said he fully appreciated the advantages to be derived from the exploitation of mines, but that in his particular jurisdiction the people were extremely adverse to the hills being disturbed, and that scientific mining had hitherto been barely possible. I subsequently heard that two parties of French prospectors had visited the mines during the past year.\n\n## \nFrom the Rev. Edgar Dewstoe of the Wesleyan Mission, who has been stationed at Shiu-kuan for the last seven years, I learnt that there are three missionary societies working in this part of the country: the Roman Catholics, with headquarters at Nam-heung, who devote themselves chiefly to work among the country people; the Berlin Mission with stations at Nam-heung, Chihsien, Yen-fa, and Shiu-kuan; the Wesleyans with branches at Lok-ch'eng, Lung-kuai, Mong-fu-kong, and Yingtak. Mr. Dewstoe said that, after some years of uphill work, he considered his Mission was now established on a solid basis; he was on the best of terms with the local authorities, due, he thought, to his adhering to the rule of never interfering in his converts' lawsuits; counted several influential men among his friends, and was able to preach every Sunday in the city chapel—a fine new building in semi-Chinese style—to an interested and respectful congregation. Some of the largest shops in Shiu-kuan are kept by Wesleyan converts, who have apparently no desire to conceal their faith. Most of the shops are plentifully adorned with text and religious pictures; in a large druggist's I saw posted on the door a notice in Chinese giving chapter and verse of the Bible reading to be held that evening in the chapel. The people are, on the whole, well-disposed towards foreigners; only in the Cantonese quarter is one liable to meet with any rudeness. In one of the halls of the Canton Guild House, I was shown a Chinese teacher seated at a pulpit expounding the Sacred Edict to whomsoever cared to listen; at the moment of our visit, a handful of coolies, who, from their attitudes, apparently considered this a convenient place to take their noon-day siesta. I was told that the cost of these daily lectures is defrayed by the Canton Guild, with the object of counteracting the growing influence of the Christian chapels. During our two days' stay at Shiu-kuan, the \"Robin\" was a source of unfailing interest to crowds of people, both men and women, who, dressed in their best clothes, came off in boatloads to gaze at the \"fire-ship.\" They conducted themselves in a very orderly manner, and made no attempt to force their way on board. I was sorry that the small size of the ship prevented our throwing her open to visitors. However, in the evening, we gave a display of rockets and coloured lights which, to judge from the loud murmurs of admiration that rose from an invisible throng outside and on the city wall, was much appreciated.\n\nThe shops in the main street leading from the south to the north gate through the Kiangsi and Hunanese quarters seemed well supplied with foreign goods. I purchased, among other things, soap, soda water, beer, biscuits, bovril, and cigarettes of British make. There are some fine pottery shops, where I was shown cases full of Kiangsi ware packed ready for export to Canton. In the Canton quarter, the streets are narrow and dirtier, the shops are exactly the same as those met with in the delta; the import business is, as usual, in the hands of the Cantonese.\n\nAn interesting local industry is the preparation of ground-nut oil, carried on in three large factories in the suburb adjoining the Wesleyan Mission. The nuts are first sun-dried on concrete floors, then pressed in troughs between round stones by means of wedges. The oil is now chiefly used for cooking purposes, kerosene having completely superseded it as an illuminant.\n\nThe climate of Shiu-kuan is hot in summer, and, owing to the sudden change of temperature caused by alternating north and south winds, is unhealthy for Europeans. The winter is cold, frost and snow being of frequent occurrence. Plague is unknown, but cholera and small-pox common. The surrounding country, besides being extremely picturesque, abounds in wild animals of all kinds, among which I may mention deer, wild boar, porcupines, monkeys, leopards, and tigers. The last-named are reported to be quite numerous: they frequently descend on the outlying villages and carry off dogs, buffalo, and sometimes children. An amusing incident occurred on the day of our arrival: as the \"Robin\" steamed past the Wesleyan Mission on the river bank, the blast of the siren was mistaken by an infants' school close by for the roar of a tiger; the terrified teacher and children bolted and barred their doors and windows, and waited panic-stricken for the approach of their enemy. It is unfortunate that this country, rich in game, is practically inaccessible to Hong Kong sportsmen: the shooting season is, of course, in winter, when the river is only open... \n\nPage 9\n954",

As regards the position, at any rate, of the British posts there can, I imagine, be no secrecy, and our claim to \"Scott's Line\" is independent of the question of actual administration.\n\nTing Ta-jèn would, I gather, be prepared to consider suggestions for concerted action against the Wa, though his inclination is to regard the Wa Hills as a district independent both of Yunnan and of Burmah, much as the Lolo country on the left bank of the Yang-tze, opposite Chao-t'ung Prefecture, is, in effect, independent both of Szechuan and of Yunnan. It has not, apparently, occurred to him that the acceptance by his Government of \"Scott's Line\" would make Burmah liable for all damages caused by Wa forays into Yünnan territory.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)  \nW.

The Pu-ting Left Battalion.—The Centre and Left Companies are posted on the bank of the Na-cha-t River, in Mien-ning Sub-Prefecture; the Right Company at San-ch'a-lu (\"Three Cross Roads\"); the Front Company at Chenpien; the Rear Company at Ssü-mao.\n\n3. The Chingpien Local Battalion.—The Centre Company is stationed at the main camp of Nan-wa; the Left Company at Siao (\"Lesser\") An-kang; the Right Company at Shang (\"Upper\") Kai-hsin; the Front Company at Chenpien Town; while the Rear Company is partly at Tien-pa, partly at the Nan-pen Hill.\n\nNOTE.—These three battalions were stationed at the above posts (from Nan-ch'a to the Nan-pen Hill) after the foray of the Wa last winter.\n\n4. The Pu-ting Right Battalion.—One picket (\"p'eng\") of the Centre Company is stationed at Chenpien Town; the remaining four pickets of this company are at Leng-k'an. The Left Company is stationed at Man-law; the Right at Kung-hsin; the Front at Hsi-ming; the Rear at Lung-k'an.\n\n[NOTE.—This battalion was stationed at the above posts (from Chenpien Town to Lung-k'an) previous to the Wa foray of last winter.]\n\n### Notes by Translator\n\n1. P'u-ting is the name of the battalion, derived from the \"P'u\" of Pu-erh (the Prefecture in which Ssü-mao is situated) and \"ting\" (to settle); so Chingpien comes from \"ching\" (to tranquillize) and \"pien\" (the frontier).\n\n2. Battalions (\"ying\") in the Chinese Army are distinguished as (a) \"chung\" (the centre); (b) \"tso\" (the left); (c) \"yu\" (the right); (d) \"chien\" (the front); (e) \"hou\" (the rear).  \n   Each battalion contains five companies (\"shao\"), similarly distinguished. In the same way, each company is divided into five pickets (\"p'eng\").  \n   Properly speaking, a battalion should consist of 500 men; so that a company should number 100 and a picket 20. In Yunnan Province, 70 men are reckoned to the company, and often only 10 to the picket. The numbers actually employed, moreover, would vary with the venality of the Commanding Officer.\n\nPage 356\n\n3. Nan-ch'a will be found marked (as Nan-cha) in both Chinese and English on Inclosures Nos. 4 and 10 to the `Report on the Work of the Burmah-China Boundary Commission, Season 1899-1900` (Political Department, No. `B.C. 1900—7`).  \n   Chan-ma-p'o I can find on none of the maps in my archives, unless, as is most probable, it is to be identified with Cha-ma-p'o in `Survey of India, Yunnan Province`, Sheet No. 4 S.E. (Reg. No. `797-8./03`), at about latitude 22° 52′ north, longitude 99° 45′ east.  \n   Nan-tai I cannot discover.  \n   Mien-ning Sub-Prefecture is adjacent to Chenpien Sub-Prefecture, on the north. It should be shown on Sheet No. 12 N.W., which is not in my archives.  \n   San-ch'a-lu cannot be identified here.  \n   Nan-wa appears as in Inclosure No. 10 and as in Inclosure No. 4 (latitude 23°, longitude 99° 50′). An An-kang is marked just below it (as in Inclosure No. 10, and as in Inclosure No. 4. There is another An-kang north-east of Nan-ch'a (see tracing of the map of Chenpien Sub-Prefecture, inclosed with my despatch No. 11, Burmah, of 1905); but the \"Lesser An-kang\" of the Return is probably that of Inclosures Nos. 4 and 10.  \n   Shang Kai-hsin will be found on the same tracing of the Sub-Prefecture, due north of Chenpien Town, and in latitude 23° 14′.  \n   Tien-pa is almost certainly the Tien-pa of Captain Renny-Tailyour's `Rough Map to accompany the Commissioner's Report` (Political Department, `B.C. 1900—7`), in latitude 22° 41', longitude 99° 54′.  \n   The Nan-pen Hill I cannot identify.  \n   Leng-k'an is marked almost due north of Meng-ma on Inclosure No. 10. Man-law appears on the map of Chenpien immediately to the north of Shang Kai-hsin, of which it may be a Shan or Lolo equivalent.  \n   Kung-hsin is marked on the same map in the angle between the Nam-ma and Nam-kha Rivers. It is probably the Kawn-hin of Sheet No. 4 S.E.  \n   Hsi-ming is the well-known Mong-hka (see Report of the Boundary Commission, as above, and compare Inclosures Nos. 4 and 10).  \n   Lung-k'an I cannot discover.\n\nA reference to Inclosures Nos. 4 and 10 of the Boundary Commission Report for 1900 will show that, out of the places identified as above, two at least—namely, Hsi-ming (Mong-hka) and Leng-k'an (probably the Lon-kham of Sheet No. 4 S.E.)—lie to the west of \"Scott's Line.\" In other words, the Chinese are certainly maintaining military posts, though of no great strength, in part of the territory claimed for Burmah.\n\nIt is only right to add, however, that these posts are on the east of the frontier as claimed by the Chinese Commissioners in 1900, and that \"Scott's Line\" has never been admitted, even as a provisional boundary, by the Governments of China and Yunnan.\n\n(Signed)  \nW.

Pakma to Hsunchow.-Above Pakma, where is a well-known li-kin station, the river is found running through a large plain, which, with varying width, stretches from Pakma up to Kuei Hsien. The mountains in the far distance on the north form a continuous range, which occasionally sweeps south towards the river, touching it 30 miles south above Pakma at Konghon, and again 15 miles above that at Hsunchow. These mountains have the valleys at their base scantily covered with pine. The river banks are from 20 feet to 30 feet high, and from the ship can be obtained only occasional glimpses of the plain, which, at least near the river, appears to be well cultivated, producing rice, mulberry, and sugar-cane. Frequent villages are scattered along the banks, but even in this fat country the population does not appear to be great. Ping Nam is an important market town, and Konghou, well placed at the lower junction of the West River main branch with the Yu Kiang, is the busiest place we meet until we arrive at Hsunchow-fu, situated at the upper junction of these two rivers.\n\n3. Hsunchow to Kuei Hsien-At Hsunchow (Kueiping, Samchow are the local names) our route leaves the main branch of the West River and follows the Yu Kiang, which is here only about 250 yards wide. The country between Hsunchow and Kuei Hsien seems to have a natural division line just about the place where the Kueiping and Kuei Hsien prefectures meet. For 40 miles along the river below this boundary the banks show at intervals a dark red stratified rock, while throughout the 15 miles above, between the boundary and the town of Kuei Hsien, limestone rock is predominant. With this division a change in the nature of the country corresponds fairly closely. The first 40 miles of land along the river seems practically waste land, a rough, uncultivated continuation of the plain we have been following from Pakma, growing coarse, long grass with a few pines. In the stretch of 15 miles approaching Kuei Hsien the plain is very flat and well cultivated, producing sugar and rice. The bamboo reappears and pines almost disappear. One or two villages are dotted along the banks, and it was in this district we saw the first carts, which are unknown between Hsunchow and the sea.\n\nThe above description will help one to realize the fact that for fully half of our entire route between Wuchow and Kuei Hsien the country appears to be quite unproductive, except for timber on the hill-sides. From a commercial point of view the most striking fact is the scarcity of river traffic between these two points. Except near the big centres like Hsunchow, Konghon, and Kuei Hsien, and to a small extent Têng Hsien and Ping Nam, one meets nothing on the river for mile after mile except an occasional junk carrying firewood, hides, or poultry, and some fishing-boats. A few steam launches, most of them flying the British flag, represent the foreign-built vessels. Some small timber rafts were seen below Konghou.\n\nAs regards animals, buffaloes and red cattle are fairly numerous along the river banks, especially near Hsunchow, Kuei Hsien, and Ping Nam. Above Hsunchow one enters the pony country. Ducks and geese are frequently seen in large flocks.\n\n3. Notes on Towns en route.\n\nTêng Hsien is the West River port for Wat Lum, an important distributing centre in the south of the province, which has also a seaport in Pakhoi, on the Tonquin Gulf. Except for some 30 miles near Wat Lum, goods can go by boat from Pakhoi to Têng Hsien.\n\nBefore the opening of Wuchow in 1897, Wat Lum was within the area of commercial attraction of Pakhoi; since then, it has been gradually drawn within the West River area. Sumatran oil is the chief foreign article now taken by Wat Lum from Pakhoi, and even this import seems to be dwindling in quantity year by year. If the French railway is ever built from Kwang Chow Wan through Wat Lum to Kueilin, it will follow the valley of the Têng River.\n\nKuei Hsien. I called on the Magistrate, who was very friendly, and who informed us that, apart from the \"Moorhen,\" only one foreign gun-boat had visited the town this summer; he disagreed, however, with his Secretary as to whether it was of French or German nationality, finally deciding in favour of French. It does not say a great deal for the impression made by the different foreign gun-boats that the \"Tsingtao\" has since been remembered as French.\n\nOn the 12th August I paid a visit to the San Cha Shan silver mines, 15 miles to the north-west. The first half of the journey, before we got into the hills, was over a large fertile plain cultivated with rice and millet (\"kao-liang\"). Here we met a constant procession of men carrying baskets of liquid indigo into Kuei Hsien. Rice, however, is the chief product of the district.\n\nThe Chinese overseer in charge of the mines said they had been closed now for over a year. After running at a loss of from 2,000 dollars to 3,000 dollars a-month, the Hua Sing Company had made them over to Government. The expenses latterly had been about 6,000 dollars a-month, including 20 cents a-day each for some 250 coolies. The coal used for smelting was Japanese, and cost on delivery at the mines 20 dollars a-ton. This included 6 dollars a-ton paid for carriage by coolies over the hills from Kuei Hsien. About 100 tons were used each month. The produce of the mines was valued at about 5,000 dollars to 3,000 dollars a-month; but, though the loss was thus heavy, the overseer believes that some Chinese Syndicate in Hong Kong will attempt to work them again. A great many of the old employés were still living near the mines. Some were washing for ore in the hill streams, making, they say, about 10 cents a-day; others of the old employés had taken to indigo cultivation, which is carried on here with considerable success.\n\nKuei Hsien boasts two new-model elementary schools, upper and lower grade. Each has 100 pupils. Expenses are defrayed from the \"t'u chuan\" (tax on pigs killed), the revenue of temple lands, and the proceeds of the old University, now abolished. The schools were opened only this year, and are not yet quite complete. English and Japanese are to be taught in the upper-grade school by Chinese instructors. The French missionaries here, on whom I called, propose to build a church shortly.\n\nHsunchow Chow-fu.The 15th August, the Emperor of China's birthday, was spent here, and the \"Moorhen,\" dressed ship for the occasion, and gave a firework display in the evening, which was much appreciated by the inhabitants. While mentioning these details, I may add that throughout the trip the \"Moorhen\" did its best to show the flag, having a jack in the bow, a white ensign at the main, and the same aft.\n\nI did not see the Prefect, as, according to the message from his yamên, he had gone to the hills in connection with some ceremonies in honour of the Emperor. This official had just taken over office from his predecessor, of whom Mr. Fox had to complain in 1904.\n\nThe church of the French Mission was built in 1902, and is a conspicuous feature in the town. The city is well provided educationally, having primary and elementary schools and a middle college, all on the new plan. The elementary schools were clean and well ordered, while the middle college was quite palatial. In the latter the students, for some of whom there are dormitories, number over 200, and English and Japanese are both taught by Chinese instructors.\n\n4. Competition with West River Trade.\n\nWhen in Pakhoi, I was informed that before the opening of the West River the total value of trade between Nanning and Pakhoi was over 1,000,000 Haikwan taels. This has been almost entirely diverted down the West River, and the Nanning trade with Pakhoi is at present practically nil.\n\nLately native newspapers have again raised rumours as to French engineers surveying the Lungchow-Nanning route, but the intermediate country is generally recognized to be so poor and dangerous that it is extremely doubtful whether a line from Nanning to connect with the Haiphong-Hanoi-Dongdang line would pay. Except perhaps in three winter months such a line, provided there were no differential rates, would probably do little to divert the general current of traffic from the West River. As for the proposed railway from Nanning to Pakhoi, the apparent failure of Kwang Chow Wan as a commercial port is likely to prevent the French from building such a line, if they ever seriously thought of it, which seems doubtful.\n\nAt Wuchow many rumours were current in regard to the imminent opening (effectively) of Nanning, and the Commissioner there, Herr von Strauch, left for Nanning in a launch on the 7th August with a view, it was said, to making arrangements for Customs quarters.\n\n5. Attitude of Natives: Piracy.\n\nThe natives along the route were quite friendly; in no case was insult offered to any one when ashore. The usual crowds formed in the streets to stare, but their behaviour was generally orderly.\n\n3",

A fair number of guard-boats are stationed at intervals along the river, but these are of little use in apprehending pirates; nor do the local officials seem to have any systematic arrangements, apart from the guard-boats, for attempting to prevent the evil at the outset: they merely deal, more or less energetically according to the pressure applied, with each case as it comes up. The Canton Viceroy's proposal to station soldiers on each boat, which was carried out on launches running from Wuchow, has proved a failure, as it was bound to do. When at Ping Nam on the 17th, I learned from the Magistrate there that a launch had been pirated below that town on the 10th August, some hours after the \"Moorhen\" had passed up, and the soldiers on board were easily overpowered. A scheme whereby passengers, both male and female, are searched for weapons on shore, and then conveyed to the launch or steamer by specially licensed boat, is generally felt to be the only way by which such acts of violence might be effectively prevented. Some such precautions the steam-boat and launch Companies owe to their passengers, even though incurring temporary loss thereby. Under the present conditions it is regrettable to find that the British flag carries with it little significance in the eyes of the criminal classes on the West River; the pirating of nominally British-owned steam-launches has been carried on now for some time with comparative impunity; the pirates have been given plenty of rope, and it is to be hoped that their latest and most daring outrage, the successful attack on the steam-ship \"Sainam,\" will prove by the issue of the case that they have been given enough wherewith to hang themselves.\n\n6.

Sir,\n\nPeking, October 4, 1906.\n\nWITH reference to Mr. Carnegie's despatch No. 350 of the 20th August, I have the honour to report that the Peking-Nankow section of the Peking-Kalgan Railway was opened to traffic on the 30th ultimo by his Excellency Hu Yu-Fen, one of the two Administrators-General of the Northern Railways, in the presence of a large number of foreigners and Chinese, to whom an open invitation had been extended.\n\nHis Excellency, who was very infirm, was only able to make a short speech in Chinese, which was followed by an address in English by Taotai Jeme Tien Yow, the Engineer-in-chief of the line, who said that the Nankow section was 33 English miles long, and involved no very difficult engineering work. The next section would traverse the Nankow pass and the fourth would entail the construction of four tunnels, 180, 261, 1,000, and 3,450 feet long respectively, the first two of which are already completed. The whole line from Peking to Kalgan, 125 miles, should be finished in three years.\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) J. N. JORDAN.\n\n[2226-6]\n\n0",

The objections to the proposed Hsin-mintun-Fakumen extension are, the paper states, not justified by facts, and the Japanese, by their attitude on this question, are only adding to their unpopularity in China.\n\nThe \"Eastern Times\" criticizes the Government's proposal to redeem the Peking-Hankow line by the issue of internal loan bonds. The Government's decision that it would be better to abandon the idea of redemption than to invite the danger of a foreign loan is declared to be sound, but the want of confidence between the officials and the people is such that the bonds will not be taken up to a sufficient extent. The paper here hits upon the great practical obstacle which the advocates of native loans too often forget; and the only remedy that the \"Eastern Times\" can suggest is constitutional reform, providing for popular control of the national finances.\n\nThibet.\n\nAccording to the Peking native papers, it would appear that the Chinese are contemplating a more energetic policy than that they have hitherto pursued as regards Thibet. Chang Ta-ch'en is said to have put forward various proposals, which are now under consideration, aiming at the establishment of a military force in Thibet, the encouragement of trade with Szechuan, the founding of schools where the Chinese language is to be taught, the organization of an administrative system, and, in general, the assertion of China's sovereign rights.\n\nIt is also reported that an official will be sent to Thibet to investigate the mineral resources of the country, and to arrange with the Thibetan and British officials some means of raising capital for the exploitation of the mines.\n\nNaval Affairs.\n\nA Peking newspaper is responsible for the statement that the Board of Finance have arranged to devote the sum of 10,000,000 taels for the purchase of new ships, the construction of naval harbours, &c. The annual expenditure for the upkeep of the navy is to be met by the various provinces concerned. The fleet, which, it is hoped, will be completed in three years, will be divided into three squadrons, the head-quarters of the first being Yu Lin Chang; of the second, San Men Wan and Chou Shan; of the third, Chefoo and Ching K'u.\n\n0\n\nAFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL,\n\n[22269]\n\nNo. 1.\n\nSir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received June 29.)\n\n[June 29.]\n\nSECTION 2.\n\n(No. 197.) Sir,\n\nPeking, May 6, 1908. IN continuation of my despatch No. 180 of the 27th April, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a Report by Mr. Harding which gives further and fuller information respecting the Sunning Railway, the construction of which is, as the writer points out, a remarkable feat suggestive of further possibilities in railway development in this country.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nJ. N. JORDAN,\n\nMemorandum by Mr. Harding respecting a Short Trip through the Sunning District.\n\nTHE Sunning district is one of the most progressive in China. In every village one is sure to come across men who speak English, or, more strictly, American, as some of them indeed call it. On the streets are men in foreign clothes and without queues; brand new villages are springing up everywhere; rows of neat new houses, with a broad street in between. And yet the district contains no Treaty port; no foreigners reside in it; few ever visit it. All the improvements which one sees are but the result of the... fact that from here was effected the Chinese colonization of the Pacific Coast of America.\n\nUndoubtedly the principal evidence of this Americanization of the people of Sunning is now the railway, which already connects the district city with the Ngae Mun River at Kung Yik, and will soon connect it with the sea-coast at Sam Kap. The first named place is situated opposite the town of Tam Shöü Hau, some five hours by steam-launch from Kongmoon. At present it has no population at all; long rows of new Chinese houses alternate with broad grass-grown streets, but the Railway Company hope that when the town is built and the railway complete, inhabitants will come, The railway station is some little way from the town, just beside an imposing-looking, white-painted, two-storeyed building, in which are some of the Company's offices. At present there are only two trains a-day each way, which start-most unpunctually at 7.30 A.M. and 130 P.M. from Kung Yik, and at 9 A.M. and 3 P.M. from Sunning, local time, half-an-hour earlier than the China coast time in use at Hong Kong and Canton, being used. The first-class carriages are most luxurious, more so even than those of the Shanghae-Nanking Railway. The second-class carriages are about the same as on other Chinese lines; while the third-class are mere cattle-trucks with seats. All, with three out of the six locomotives owned by the Company, are built in the United States. The other three, with all the rails and some of the other material, come from Germany,\n\nThe distance from Kung Yik to Sunning is 17 miles; the time taken over the journey being an hour and a-quarter, and the fares 80 c., 50 c., and 30 c. by first, second, and third class respectively.\n\nJust after leaving Kung Yik the line makes an enormous bend, necessitated by the refusal of a village, which lay in the direct line, to sell the requisite land. At this one place a mile is lost, and there are several lesser bends on the way to Sunning. The Company's inability to compel unwilling villagers to part with their land has further led it to follow the top of a range of low hills with a gap in the middle, thereby necessitating a couple of rises of 70 feet.\n\nThe line is well laid, and travel on it is much smoother than on the Canton-Hankow line, or, indeed, on the Shanghae-Nanking line when newly built. No ballast\n\n[1819 ƒ-2]\n\n79",

Viceroys and Governors must comfort the minds of the people, and set in order all duties confided to their charge, in order that the deceased Emperor's spirit may be consoled.\n\nThough the deceased Emperor ordained only twenty-seven days' mourning, I could not rest satisfied with that period. It is necessary that the old rule be followed, and that three years' mourning be observed.\n\n\"The sacrificial observances at the Temple of Heaven, and of earth, and of the Imperial ancestors, &c., must not, however, be neglected, and the Yamens concerned must examine precedents and memorialize for my information.\n\n\"Let the people observe mourning according to the prescribed rules. \"Let this Decree be published for the information of all.\"\n\n## Inclosure 7 in No. 1\n### Prince Ch'ing to Sir J.

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

        "content_text": "6 \n\nfirms are known by their old established names, often long after the original partners and their descendants have ceased to have any connexion with it.\n\nThe point on which I think it is necessary to insist is that there is nothing inherent in the question which the use of tong names presents to necessitate any departure from the ordinary rules of evidence. This evidence is of two classes, the sworn testimony of witnesses and the silent testimony of the books of the firm. I know of no rule which says that the person professing to be the owner of a tong name must go into the witness box and swear he is the man because he is one of many plaintiffs: that must be for the plaintiffs' advisers to decide, if they think that the other evidence is not sufficiently stable. The evidence was this: the two plaintiffs, Wong Hiu Tong and Leung Lai Sang, swore that they themselves and the other plaintiffs on the record were in fact the owners of the tong names used in the partnership books, and partners in the firm: further, one of the nine, Leung Lai Nam, was called and swore as to his tong name, and to being a partner, as also to the other eight. The plaintiff Cheung Tsz Yuen was an original partner, but he took no active part in the business and did not speak as to the other plaintiffs. It was curious that there happened to be in his case some little explanation required as to a change in his tong name: if I can believe one part of his story I can believe the rest. But there is this further observation to be made: if these tong names were wholly imaginary as the defendants tried to make out, this man would assuredly have selected another to which no explanation was required: a witness of untruth does not go out of his way to court difficulties in the way of establishing his story. I must go ahead a little way before leaving this part of the case. If there were anything in the rest of the evidence of these witnesses which would lead me to doubt their words, I should do so as to this part: but I do not disbelieve the rest of the evidence.\n\nNow I turn to the books: and here we come to the Evidence Ordinance. If the books are well kept, if they are apparently kept regularly and in the course of business, they are to be admitted as prima facie evidence of the truth of their contents; but they are not to be sufficient alone to establish liability. That condition is satisfied in this case by the evidence of four of the partners. It then really becomes a question of law: if the prima facie is not rebutted it ought to be admitted.\n\nNow the way in which I put the evidence to be derived from the books was this. The partnership document, not agreement, for it did not profess to be that, had the names of 12 tongs written in it by the man Wong Hiu Tung, who drew it up. Now did the books show that there were in fact 12 partners?\n\nThe partnership book which contained the partnership receipts of capital and payments of interest and profits, showed these 12 tong names. This being challenged the man went immediately to Canton and within 48 hours produced seven old and new cash books for the years 1893, 1894, 1895, 1901, 1902, 1906, and 1907. He explained the absence of the others by destruction by white ants and by loss of a box which was sunk in the river, during the seizure. Now some comment was made as to the books not being complete, and it was pointed out that the missing years were just those (1903 to 1905) when the Cheong Loong was doing business. I am unable to follow this argument, because it loses sight of the object with which these books were produced, which was to support the entries made in the partnership book: and when we find that a series of books which comprised years at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end, all of them containing the entries which they ought to contain if the partnership book is genuine, how is it possible to say that the whole series is not genuine, and does not prove conclusively that there were 12 partners, and that these 12 partners had these 12 tong names. But it is said, Oh the jury might have discredited them on account of the loss of the remaining cash books. But it is not permissible for a jury to take up any random suggestion which may occur to them: it must at least have some relation to the question for which the books were produced. What could the missing\n\n409",

        "content_text": "## Memorandum by the Shanghae General Chamber of Commerce, The Issuing of Bank-notes by Native Banks\n\nIN the beginning of the current year, the attention of the Chamber was drawn to the fact that dollar bank-notes were being issued by certain Chinese banks in Shanghae and the Provinces. Representations on the subject were made to the Consular Body, and the opinion of the exchange banks was also ascertained, as the matter was considered of vital importance, inasmuch as the new departure tends to add to the complications of internal currency, and to affect trade and credit. The various issues are not authorized by the Imperial Government; and they are neither limited nor have they reserves held against them. The uncontrolled issue of these notes, without the security of properly regulated metallic reserves, is a serious danger to the commercial community and the growth of such a system of finance, which must ultimately impair and seriously affect the credit of China, is viewed with grave concern. The problem, if energetically and intelligently tackled, may still be capable of solution now, but should time be lost, the difficulties which are steadily increasing may at no distant date grow beyond remedy. Investigations as to the standing, reserves, capital and note circulation of the various banks, have brought to light the information which is appended on the following table:\n\n| Bank | Head Office | Capital | Paid-up | Note Circulation | Remarks |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| KW LAM Bank |  |  |  |  | 100,000 taels of note issue and probably more is in circulation in Shanghae.

FOX**,\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nExtract from the \"Kwo Shih Pao\" of March 9, 1909.\n\nReport of a Meeting of the Self-Government Society respecting the \"Tatsu Maru\" Case.\n\nOn the 8th March a mass meeting of the Self-Government Society was held to discuss the \"Tatsu Maru\" case, and was very largely attended. The Kung Tu and Ku Tu districts in Heungshan sent Chao Hsiang Ping, Yang Jang Ju, and Liao Pi Ch'en as representatives to attend the meeting. They said that the people of their districts had held a meeting, and, hearing of the meeting in Canton, had sent them as representatives. They produced a map of Macao and a copy of the Viceroy's Memorial. At the next meeting the people of their district, they said, would elect further representatives to come to Canton and discuss the procedure to be adopted. It was essential that all their countrymen should work cordially together and achieve their object.\n\nSpeeches were subsequently made by about a dozen persons, including Hu Hsin Teng, Chan Sung Yun, and Chien Ching Hsü, all condemning the injury to the nation caused by Yuan Shih Kai, and emphasizing the importance of retaining jurisdiction over their land and its waters. Not a foot of which should be surrendered. The applause shook the entire building.\n\nThe bell announcing the opening of the meeting rang at 2:30. The chairman was Li Kai Hi, and the speaker Lo Shao Ao. The following is an account of what passed:---\n\n1. A map of Macao was produced by the representatives of the districts of Kung Ta and Ku Tu, in Heungshan.\n\n2. It was mentioned that that day was the anniversary of the \"Tatsu Maru incident, when China fired a salute of twenty-one guns in acknowledgment of her fault, and purchased the arms as compensation. The country was robbed of its sovereign rights and suffered a national disgrace. Yuan Shih Kai, whose foreign policy had failed, had been the culprit. An Edict had now been issued appointing Kao Erh Chien as Commissioner for the delimitation of the boundaries of Macao. In the original lease by Portugal of Macao the land boundary was formed by a wall. The sea, which was the boundary on the other side, belonged to China. This was now being encroached upon. The spot where last year the arms smuggled by the \"Tatsu Maru\" were seized was situated at Ta Sha Li, at the western entrance of the Pearl River. These waters, the inland waters of China, were wrongfully claimed by the Japanese as being the \"high seas.\" The claim of Portugal that they were Portuguese waters was still more groundless. This was well known to be the case, and yet Yuan Shih Kai, it is sad to say, deliberately betrayed his country and brought disgrace on China. It was now more than ever incumbent on all patriots to consider all ways and means to protect China's sovereign rights, and a discussion was invited. (It was decided to send representatives to the spot to investigate carefully and thoroughly.)\n\n3. The object of a Constitution was that the officials and people should share the responsibility of all important measures. The delimitation Commissioner, Kao Erh Chien, was thoroughly conversant with foreign affairs, and up to the present had never been guilty of a mistake. He had already arrived in Canton, and, as the matter was of great importance, every one should interest themselves and take a share in the investigation. In this way dilatory official methods would be hastened. (Unanimously agreed to.)\n\n4. Rule 5 of the Self-Government Society, approved by the Throne, stated that the Society had the duty of fostering trade and native industries. During the past few years they had inaugurated new industries with the cordial assistance of the\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nExtract from the \"Hong Kong Telegraph\" of March 15, 1909.\n\n**JAPANESE BOYCOTT REVIVED.**\n\nA telegram has been received by the Canton Press Society for transmission to the Canton Self-Government Society from the Chinese residents in Singapore, to the effect that the branch office there of Wong Cheung Wah, a well-known medicine oil dealer (whose \"Yu Yee\" oil is particularly well known) has acted in violation of the Japanese boycott regulations, so that they have now suspended business with the said firm. In the message the Self-Government Society was asked to punish the proprietors of the firm in question, who are in Canton.\n\nCanton, March 13, 1909.",

        "content_text": "# THE GOVERNOR'S DEPARTURE\n\n## Chinese Recognise His D Services\n\npresented to His Excellency the Governor, Sir Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, K.C.M.G., C.B., D.S.O., by the representatives of the Chinese Community.\n\nand you have thanked me for the existing conditions. Gentlemen, in this matter, it is I who ought to thank you, who are tendering thanks. My endeavours have simply been directed towards enlisting your co-operation, and towards inviting your efforts to support the Government to teach the people what is best for their welfare, and how such measures as are necessary both to preserve life and to ameliorate the conditions of the poor can be best carried out without causing inconvenience to themselves, or I should say, so as to cause the least possible inconvenience to the people themselves.\n\nI can possibly express to receive this most beautiful address from your hands, and it will give the very greatest pleasure to my wife, to whom you have made such very kind allusions, both in the address and in the words of Dr. Ho Kai. It is usual for such presentations to be made at the time when the Governor on a short visit of His Excellency severs his connection finally from the colony. In my case I am only leaving you for a short time and I hope to be back early in November.\n\nYou have alluded in this address to most of the things which have had my earnest consideration during the past few years, more particularly with regard to the sanitary laws, efforts I have made to remove pre-existing conditions. Gentlemen, in this matter, it is I who ought to thank you.\n\n## THE ADDRESS\n\nThe address was then read by Dr. Ho Kai as follows:-\n\n### Translation of the Chinese Address\n\nOn a lucky day in April of the year 1910, on the occasion of Your Excellency's returning to your home on a holiday of Chinese months, we Chinese representatives of all classes of the community take the opportunity of your departure to present you with a respectful address in token of our esteem.\n\nMore than once have the stars and hoar-frosts returned in their course since Your Excellency came to Hongkong: the benevolence and clemency of your virtuous administration is in the mouth of every passer-by in the streets. Your earnest attention has been devoted to everything that would promote the welfare of the people and the comfort of those who have gathered here from afar. More especially has every movement for the benefit of the people won the confidence of you all, and the Chinese received your heartiest support.\n\nNot once have your actions failed to call forth the public praise. Your Excellency was moved with great sorrow at the frequency with which bodies have been thrown out into the street in Hongkong, and with the determination of taking measures to stamp the practice out, you consulted the Public Dispensaries Committee as to the best means of effecting your purpose; and now there is hardly a trace left of the evil practice.\n\nThe sanitary laws are made to preserve the public health, but the Chinese have always feared their strictness. Since Your Excellency took up office, a compromise has been effected in the administration of the laws while at the same time to the gratification of all classes.\n\nYou have co-operated with the Government and have succeeded largely in instilling confidence and in checking disease and in benefitting the poor people. For this co-operation, gentlemen, in which I include the assistance of the Registrar General, whose influence with you has been the main factor in the success,--for this co-operation I say I thank you heartily, and I look forward, on my return to the colony, to its continuance.\n\nYou have also alluded to the subject of education, a matter of interest, not only as regards the University but also as regards the education given in all our schools throughout the colony. I hope the steps recently taken, and which will be brought into operation without delay, will be effective in decreasing the overcrowding in our schools, in increasing the teaching staff, and in providing an increased number of scholarships so that the children of the poor may reap the benefit of our education equally with the children of the well-to-do class.\n\nAs regards the University, we love it by the generosity of the Cl... and by the generosity of a great firm at Taikoo, we succeeded in getting sufficient funds to establish three faculties. I hope before the University buildings are finished and the doors opened to students that we may double the number of faculties for which we are providing chairs in the University, and increase in the amount of the endowment. (Applause).\n\nDr. Ho Kai, in presenting the address and album, said: May it please Your Excellency, on behalf of the leading members of the Chinese community, I have the honour to-day to present you with an address which has been embroidered on satin, and which I would ask you, sir, to do us the honour to graciously accept as a small token of the high esteem and affection we have for you as our Governor and ruler, as well as our friend and counsellor. (Applause).\n\nIt was our intention, sir, to present you with this address shortly after the laying of the foundation stone of the Hongkong University, but time did not permit us, for we desired to present you with a work of art more worthy of your acceptance, and so we had perforce to wait for this occasion in order to allow us time to get the work properly executed.\n\nSir, it is scarcely three years since your arrival in this colony, but during this comparatively short period you have achieved much by your wise and able administration. You have seen us through a most trying time and succeeded in placing the colony once more on the high road to prosperity and success.\n\nNo one, sir, appreciates more than the Chinese community the immense benefits which you have conferred upon this colony and they are deeply grateful to you, for though we have had a long commercial depression you have succeeded by your broadmindedness and by your incomparable energy and enthusiasm in founding the Hongkong University.\n\nThe vast benefits conferred by such an institution on the colony as a whole, but more especially upon the Chinese, whether resident in this colony or throughout China, are incomparable, and we thank you, sir, most cordially and most gratefully for such a boon. I am sure, sir, future generations will cherish your memory and thank you as gratefully and cordially as we do now.\n\nWe hope, sir, when you get to England, you will be able to do something in England to raise subscriptions for the University. Well, I shall do my best. (Applause). At the same time it is a matter which primarily affects us out here, and a matter which I can leave with confidence in your hands, because I know you are interested in it and I have had examples of your generosity.\n\nI need not say how personally keenly I am interested in the project. That is already well known. Gentlemen, I thank you most cordially and heartily for the kind sentiments which you, sir, have expressed, and for the address you presented to me.\n\nI say good-bye now, only for a short time, and hope soon to be back again, and to renew my friendships here, and during my short absence I trust that the colony may in every way prosper, that the health of the colony during this summer will be good, that the trade depression will cease and that with increased trade you may have increased prosperity and that I shall return in good health to you and with my wife.\n\nLady Lugard, who is most anxious to return to Hongkong. (Applause).\n\nHis Excellency then invited his deputation to be seated.\n\nThe address was beautifully embroidered on a white satin scroll, with Chinese characters of dark blue silk. At the top were two hata in silver signifying Good Luck, and at the foot was a carved ivory roller of beautiful design. The embroidery work gave a lovely finish to the scroll. It was enclosed in a casket of red sandalwood, which was covered with numerous clever designs executed by the carver. The casket was five feet eighteen inches, with silver fittings, while on the top of the lid was a silver monogram of the Governor's initials.\n\nChinese characters were on either side of the monogram speaking of the good work done by His Excellency in the colony. He was also the recipient of an album of red Morocco leather, which bore in silver his monogram and contained the text of the address in both Chinese and English. The album also contained a list of the signatures in English of the donors. It was altogether a fine work of art executed by Canton artists.\n\nThe deputation was received by the Governor and was introduced by the Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, C.M.G., who was supported by his colleague, the Hon. Mr. Wei Yuk, C.M.G. There were also present the Hon. Sir Henry May (Colonial Secretary), the Hon. Mr. A. W. Brewin (Registrar General), Capt. N. Sim- FOLL (private secretary), Capt. P. H. M. Taylor (aide-de-camp), Messrs. Lau Chu-pak, Ng Hon-tai, He Fook, Ho Kom Tong, Wong Leung-him, Yeung Him-pong, Wong Kum-fak, S. W.

        "content_text": "## CHINESE COMMUNITY'S RECOGNITION OF SIR FREDERICK LUGARD'S VIRTUOUS ADMINISTRATION\n\nThe Telegraph reports on Sir Frederick Lugard's coming departure and the Chinese community's recognition of his benevolent administration.\n\nMore than once have the stars and the frosts returned in their course since Your Excellency came to Hongkong: the benevolence and clemency of your virtuous administration is in the mouth of every passer-by in the streets. Your earnest attention has been devoted to everything that would promote the welfare of the people and the comfort of those who have gathered here from afar. More especially has every movement for the benefit of the Chinese received your heartiest support. Not once have your actions failed to call forth the public praise.\n\nThat Sir Frederick Lugard's successful administration of the government of Hongkong in the face of seemingly insuperable difficulties has been recognised by all sections of the community in this Colony is a well-established fact, which was further testified to by the pleasing function that took place at Government House this afternoon. We refer to the presentation of the address and honorific scroll to His Excellency by representatives of all classes of the Chinese community on the eve of the Governor's departure on six months' home leave on Saturday next. The Chinese deputation consisted of high-placed gentlemen of the merchant, compradore, and gentry classes, besides the Chinese unofficial members of the Legislative Council.\n\nThe deputation was received by the Governor in the first ball-room of Government House and was introduced by the Honourable Dr. Ho Kai, CMG, who was supported by his colleague in the Council, Hon. Mr. Wei Yuk, CMG. There were present at the ceremony: H.E. Sir Frederick Lugard, the Hon. Sir Henry May (Colonial Secretary), the Hon. Mr. W. Brewin (Registrar General), Capt. N. Sundson (private secretary), Capt. P. H. M. Taylor (aide-de-camp), Messrs. Lau Chu-pak, Ng Hoa-tsai, Ho Fook, He Kom Tong, Wong Leung-him, Young Him-ping, Wong Kum-fuk, S. W. Tso, Sia Tak-fan, Fong Wa-can, Cheung Si-kai, Li Sai-kam, Lau Yu-nam, Tang Fui-chi, Yu To-shan, Chan Siu-lam, Li Yau-chun, Chau Siu-ki, Wo Wan-cho, Wo Tsai-yong, Lo Kon-ting, Siu Yam-fai, Sam Pak-ming, Li Wing-kwong, Chau Wan-sau, Mok Man-cheung, Tam Hok-pui, Leung Kin-nam, Chan Kang-yi, Lau Pun-chiu, Chia Yee-ting, Chau Pak-yee, Wo Tsa-wan, Yio Kion, Li Po-kwai, Chan Chuk-hing, Tsang Yik-kai, Chan Lok-chun, and He Mok-tuk.\n\nDr. Ho Kai then presented the address to His Excellency amid loud applause. His Excellency, having thanked the gathering for their presentation, said that it gave him the very greatest pleasure to be presented with their most beautiful address and he felt sure it would give the very greatest pleasure to Lady Lugard to hear of their kind sentiments. It was usual for such presentations to be made when a Governor severed his connection with the Colony finally. Fortunately, in his case, he was leaving for a short time only and hoped he would be back in November and once again see all his friends who were gathered around him that day.\n\nDr. Ho Kai had alluded in the address to various matters with which he had identified himself, but more especially to sanitary matters. It had always been his endeavour to invite them to support the Government to teach the people what was best for their welfare and how it could be best carried out so as to afford the least inconvenience to the people. They had come forward in answer to his appeal in a manner which afforded him encouragement and at the same time excited his admiration. In this co-operation, they had been assisted by the Registrar-General, who commanded the complete confidence of the Chinese community.\n\nAfter the formal introduction, Dr. Ho Kai, addressing the Governor, said that on behalf of the leading members and representatives of the Chinese community, he had the honour of presenting His Excellency with an address embroidered on silk. He asked His Excellency to be gracious enough to accept their gift as a small token of the esteem in which His Excellency was held by the Chinese community. It was their intention to present His Excellency with the address shortly after the laying of the foundation stone of the Hongkong University, but time did not permit of their doing so, and they wished to present him with an address worthy of his dignity.\n\nHis Excellency said it was three years since he arrived in the Colony, and during that comparatively short period, the Colony had gained much by his wise administration. He had seen them through the most trying times and placed them once again on the high road to prosperity and success. Although they were just emerging from a long commercial depression, His Excellency had succeeded by his broad-mindedness and energy in founding the Hongkong University. The vast benefit which would be conferred on the Colony as a whole, but more especially on the Chinese, by the University were incalculable. For that, they thanked him most cordially and hoped that generations to come would thank him as cordially.\n\nThey hoped that when he got back to England, he would try and obtain further donations which were urgently required for the University. When he met Lady Lugard, they hoped he would convey to Her Ladyship their affectionate respects and tell her how rejoiced they were to hear of Her Ladyship's complete recovery from her recent illness, and hoped they would have the pleasure of welcoming her back in the following winter.\n\n## THE ADDRESS\n\nDr. Ho Kai then read the address, of which the following is a translation: On a lucky day in April of the year 1910, on the occasion of Your Excellency's returning to your ancestral home on a holiday of six months, we Chinese representatives of all classes of the community take the opportunity of your departure to present you with a respectful address in token of our esteem.\n\nSince Your Excellency came to give peace to this state, all the business of administration has been carried on by you with success, but you have regarded the development of education and the encouragement of talent as your most important duty, and all your energies and faculties have been devoted to the establishment of a University. Now the foundation stone has been duly laid, and the magnificent project is on the way to realization. We feel confident that in the future, the result of the education given in the University will fulfil all expectations.\n\nYour Excellency's kindness will remain a lasting and grateful memory in the hearts of the Chinese. On your departure, therefore, we beg to present you with this address and unite in a prayer that your journey will be made under a lucky star, that you may reach your country in safety and prosper in everything you undertake, and that you may spend your holiday in happiness in the society of Her Excellency Lady Lugard. Convey our respects to her. We trust that you will remember this Colony in your heart and return soon, that we may look again upon the dignity of your countenance and hearken to the grace of your commands. This is our earnest prayer.\n\nDated Hongkong, the 28th day of April, 1910.\n\n[Here follow Signatures.]\n\nThe address in Chinese translation was embroidered on Chinese silk. The honorific scroll was suspended on an ivory ruler with another at the other end of the same material. The scroll was enclosed in an artistically carved case of Chinese design and make, the case being made of red sandalwood. In the centre of the cover was Sir Frederick's monogram in silver, and on each side of the monogram are two Chinese ideographs, which, rendered freely, read: \"Benevolent Government of Hongkong.\" The handles of the beautiful case were also of silver.\n\nAfter the presentation, tea and other refreshments were served. Soon after, the deputation withdrew.",

Jordan did not consider that the circumstances brought to his notice would justify him in recommending the reversal of the 1904 regulations, and in fact Mr. Fox's Despatch to which Sir John Jordan was replying, nowhere states that trouble has actually arisen owing to class 3.\n\n11.\n\nMr. Fox mentions only three men by name, and nothing is said as to the class to which they belonged. Whatever it was, and even if they were in class 3, it was not on that ground that the Chinese questioned their British nationality.\n\n12. Ho To-shang is in class 3 and he would probably be regarded as a deserving case, his father being a Christian and having resided in Hongkong from 1858 to 1872, while his mother was still resident in the Colony in 1909. But as was justly pointed out at the time by the Governor, Ho's case presented no difficulty.\n\n13. Mr. Jamieson apparently met with difficulties which he regarded as intolerable in connection with the protection of persons in Class 3, but again it was pointed out quite correctly by the Governor in Despatch No. 113 of 3rd December, 1909, that these difficulties could be avoided by simply strict adherence to the recognised rules and principles governing such cases.\n\n14. If it is these intolerable difficulties which form the subject of Mr. Jamieson's despatch of the 17th December, 1909, to Sir John Jordan, the exact difficulty seems to have been the refusal of the Governor-General to seal passports issued to Un Kam-wa, Yu To Sang and Li Kang. Un Kam-wa is in Class 2, Yu To Sang would have been regarded by Sir Henry Blake as a deserving case in Class 3, and Li Kang should never have been given a passport.",

The important point is that the Governor-General makes no distinction between Un Kam Wa and Yu To Sang.\n\n15. One more case is mentioned in the same file that Ho Pak Ki. Ho Pak Ki is undoubtedly in Class 2.\n\n16. Finally, Sir John Jordan gives his opinion that the Circular of 1904 was too widely drawn and that it was a mistake to extend British protection in China to persons in Class 3, even provided they had resided continuously for three years in a British Colony, and he wishes to eliminate Class 3 altogether. The Foreign Office, however, did not actively support Sir John Jordan, but contented themselves with asking if the Colonial Office concurred.\n\n17. As far as the Hongkong Government is concerned, the questions involved are questions of policy and not of law. The interpretation of the law may be safely left to the Foreign Office in consultation with their legal advisers. The Hongkong Government has to weigh in the balance the advantage to be derived from protecting Chinese born in Hongkong, against the prospect of irritating the Provincial Authorities at Canton and the Consul-General at that port, by insisting on claims which they regard as unreasonable.\n\n18. To protect or assist Chinese inhabitants of Hong-kong will always be a popular policy, nor is it in the least likely that such action will be regarded as unreasonable by the Chinese Government, which has never raised and probably will never raise, objections to a claim to protect individuals in Class 3. But although the objections of His Majesty's Minister and Consuls may be much exaggerated (or may even appear unfounded), something must be done to meet views so strongly held. The first thing is for the Governor so to exercise his discretion as to confine the issue of these certificates to deserving Chinese merchants domiciled in Hongkong. The Foreign Office thought the animus manendi was the essential point to be established, and it would be...",

        "content_text": "# Enclosure 5 in No. 2\n\n## Consul-General Jamieson to Acting Governor-General of the Liang Kuang\n\nCanton, November 30, 1909.\n\nI HAVE the honour to refer to certain red notes which have recently been exchanged between us, having for their subject the refusal of your Excellency to countersign certain passports issued by this office in respect of British subjects, whose ancestors were Chinese.\n\nYou say that, according to certain Chinese laws of nationality, promulgated this year, the basis of nationality is the blood of the parents, and that, should such be Chinese, the offspring, even if born on British soil, cannot divest themselves of their ancestors' nationality. It is sought, apparently, thereby to lay down a principle which, in so far as international law is concerned, is to me at least novel, and is not one which, I venture to think, will be endorsed by the treaty Powers interested. Your Excellency must be aware that no internal legislation can override the provisions of a treaty, and China, having bound herself in several treaties to allow the subjects of the Powers concerned to travel to all parts of the interior under passports issued by their consuls and countersigned by the local authorities, she is bound to conform with the obligation thereunder imposed. It is for the Power on whose territory children are born to say on what terms they shall be considered as nationals; the ipse dixit of the Chinese Government cannot deprive it of this undoubted and well-recognised right. And even were this not the case, surely any new legislation of the kind should have been communicated to the parties interested—Government and people—and made the subject of international negotiation. So far as I am aware China has not approached, through the proper channels, any of the British colonies which may be affected by these novel proposals, and they cannot therefore be expected to recognise them.\n\nMoreover, for years past in every part of China such passports have been countersigned without question, and this consulate-general certainly has received no notification of any intended change of procedure, your Excellency's predecessor continuing throughout the year to countersign as before. It may be competent for China to enact that, henceforward, all those of her subjects, having left their country of origin, and desirous of changing their nationality abroad, must give prior notice to the local authorities, but under no circumstances can it be admitted that notice of this kind shall have a retrospective effect, or that it applies to those born in foreign countries.\n\nIn the case of the three British subjects whose passports I had the honour to transmit for counter-signature, I have made careful inquiry into the antecedents of the parties, and I find that:\n\n| Name | Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| Yuan Chin-hua (Un Kam-wa) | was born in Hong Kong of parents of Chinese origin, who were themselves British subjects, having been likewise both born in that colony. |\n| Yu Tao-sheng (Yu To-sang) | is a British subject, born in Hong Kong of Chinese parents, subjects of the Emperor of China, who has complied with all colonial regulations as to assumption of British nationality by registration. |\n| Li Keng (Li Kang) | is a Chinese, who has been naturalised as a British subject for some eighteen years; but, as the British Government are not prepared to extend protection to naturalised British subjects of Chinese descent on return to their country of origin, his passport has been cancelled. |\n\nThe two former passports I accordingly return, with yet another request that they be countersigned in accordance with the terms of the existing treaty between Great Britain and China.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ. W. JAMIESON.\n\n## Enclosure 6 in No. 2\n\n### Acting Governor-General of the Liang Kuang to Consul-General Jamieson\n\nCanton, December 16, 1909 (Hsüan T'ung, 1st year, 11th moon, 4th day).\n\n(Translation.)\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch, returning two travelling passports for sealing, belonging to Yuan Chin-hua and Yu Tao-sheng, both of whom you say were born in Hong Kong. I subsequently also received your two notes forwarding passports in favour of Li Jui-Kuang and Ku Yen-ch'en, which you asked might be sealed.\n\nThe Naturalisation Regulations have been promulgated by Imperial edict, and all Chinese, irrespective of birth-place, who may wish to change their nationality, must, in obedience to these regulations, report to their local authority, who will obtain the consent of the Board of the Interior before such change of nationality can become effective.\n\nThere is no record of such a report having been made by Yuan Chin-hua and the others, and I am therefore unable to take action in their case which would be contrary to the regulations.\n\nTo put the matter succinctly, the issuing of regulations is a prerogative of the Chinese Government, and I have no option but to obey them without making the smallest alteration. This kind of limited authority is a matter with which you must be fully acquainted.\n\nI have accordingly the honour to return herewith the four passports in question.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\n(Seal of Governor-General.)\n\n## Enclosure 7 in No. 2\n\n### Mr. Wilkinson to Sir J. Jordan\n\nShanghai, February 18, 1910.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge your despatch of the 11th January asking for my opinion as to the legality of the action of Viceroy Yuan of Canton in refusing to countersign passports granted to British subjects of Chinese descent, under circumstances detailed in Consul-General Jamieson's despatch of the 17th December last, and the enclosures thereto.\n\nHis Excellency Yuan's contention is that a person of Chinese race cannot, under any circumstances, be or become a foreign subject save by the permission of the local authorities of the real or supposed ancestral home of the person in question.\n\nThe new naturalisation laws referred to in the despatches under consideration have not been forwarded to me, and I have no knowledge of their contents, beyond the statement in Viceroy Yuan's despatch to Mr. Jamieson on the 2nd November, 1909, that \"by the custom of China, the nationality of an individual is determined by that of his blood relations, and a son or grandson cannot change the nationality enjoyed by his father or his ancestors.”\n\nConsul-General Jamieson says that the contention of the Chinese Government, as stated by Viceroy Yuan, is that \"Chinese blood\" imposes on those in whose veins it flows Chinese nationality in perpetuity.\n\nBy Roman law \"status was determined by descent (jus sanguinis). The question whether a man was or was not a free man and a citizen of Rome, depended on the condition of his parents; Roman law, however, even under the Empire, would not have claimed, or allowed, as citizens the descendants of a civis Romanus, who had voluntarily joined and become incorporated with a Barbarian horde.\n\nAccording to the feudal rule, once universal in Europe, nationality depended in all cases upon the place of birth (jus soli).\n\nThe common law of England held all persons born under the allegiance and none others, with the apparent exception of children of Ambassadors, to be British subjects.\n\nThe strict English rule has, however, by statute, been modified and brought into agreement with the principle that the nationality, while depending primarily upon the place of birth, can on certain statutory requirements and formalities being observed, be acquired or lost, changed or resumed, at will.\n\nAs to the nationality of children born of the subjects of one Power within the territory of another, the Code Napoleon provided that a child should follow the...",

        "content_text": "## The Unadministered Tribal Country Between Burmah, Assam, Thibet, and Yunnan\n\nThe unadministered tribal country lying between Burmah, Assam, Thibet, and Yunnan covers an area of some 15,000 or more square miles of jungle-clad and mountainous territory, imperfectly known and peopled sparsely by some of the most primitive savages to be found, at the present day, anywhere on the face of the globe. Up till recently, lack of enterprise on the part of our eastern neighbour has left this region to its primitive seclusion and barbarism, and it has formed, as it were, an impenetrable buffer state for Burmah.\n\nThe new era of energy and activity on her frontiers that has started of late in China, however, makes the question of a defined frontier line between the British dominions and those of the Chinese Empire a matter of ever-increasing urgency, and delay in setting about it will not tend to make the solution easier.\n\nThe matter seems to resolve itself into a question of whether the expediency of a well-defined geographical and ethnographical boundary and consideration of the eventual welfare of the populations of the region are sufficient to justify Great Britain in resorting to force to obtain the best line possible, and the easiest to define, namely, the watersheds bounding the whole of the waters of the Irrawaddy basin, in face of certain definite evidences of Chinese control or suzerainty over portions of the territories enclosed therein (notably the part at present in dispute, near Pienma, and that which certainly will be claimed later, viz., the Chiutzu country, astride the upper waters of the N'mai Kha). A point to be recognised is that if we do insist on this best possible line, we must be prepared to make good our claim to it, either by actual administration or well-defined suzerainty, involving recognition of responsibility for the good behaviour of the wild Kachins, Maru, and Lutzu, etc., situated within it. If the game is not considered worth the candle, then it is for consideration what definite points should form a basis for negotiation before actually embarking on delimitation of some other frontier-line. I think our geographical knowledge is sufficient to warrant, at any rate, the following demands:\n\n1. That the whole of the head-waters of the Mali Kha right up to the Nam Kiu mountains must be considered as British territory. (Consequent on this, an agreement would have to be arrived at as to the point in the Lohit valley, on the other side of those Nam Kiu Mountains, where British territory ends and Chinese begins, and I think it might be taken that Sati - latitude 28° 1′ 3′′ north, and longitude 96° 54′ 2′′ east - is British and Walung, a few miles further up-stream is Thibetan, and that the frontier-line should cross the river at some convenient point, to be mutually agreed on, by boundary commissioners on the spot, between those two places. As regards this part of the border, vide *Geographical Journal* of October 1909, p. 373).\n\n2. That, unless China can adduce proof to the contrary, the Maru country, between the Lashi territory of Pienma and the Chiutzu country on the Upper N'mai Kha at its great westerly bend, west of Yei-chih (on the Mekong in latitude 27° 41′ north) must be reckoned as in British territory.\n\n3. That in default of any satisfactory proof of Chinese control on the north bank of the Hsiao Chiang (it will be remembered that Taotai Shih admitted to Mr. Litton, in 1905, that the tribesmen beyond, i.e., on the right bank of, this stream were \"beyond the pale of civilised government\"), the Chinese claim to territory on that bank cannot be admitted. Should it, however, be considered desirable to admit the Chinese claim to the actual Pienma group of villages, under the Teng-keng \"fu-yu,\" the joint examination by Messrs. Litton and Shih in 1905, justify us, at any rate, I think, in refusing to acknowledge the hold of the Minkuang \"fu-yu\" over the valley of the Kansheng Kha. A compromise might, therefore, be made by drawing the line of demarcation between the Pienma group and the Kausheng Kha valley and the geographical features appear to lend themselves fairly well to such a division.\n\nThe modified frontier line might then run roughly as follows:\n\nFrom Manung Pum (present northern-most point of the demarcated line) along the Irrawaddy-Shweli divide to the peak marked 12,800′ (6 miles east of Lagwi, on the War Office map of 1906); thence down the spur shown as running nearly due north to the westerly bend of the Hsiao Chiang; across latter and north-west up spur to the peak marked 13,600′; and thence along the crest of the watershed enclosing the head-waters of the Hsiao Chiang till the main Irrawaddy-Salween divide is reached; then northward along that divide to the point where the Chinese-controlled Chintzu country begins, and perhaps the most convenient line of demarcation from this point would be the crest of the spur which forms the great westerly loop of the N'mai Kha (in latitude 27° 40′); the frontier line crossing the...",

As I say we cannot do without the registry\n\nwhich would be a branch of the Hongkong registry. Whilst as regards the only outstanding difference of view as to jurisdiction, if we cannot arrange it, I should like to have it referred to the Departments at home who would no doubt if necessary obtain the Law Officers' advice. Though there is to be one registry, and that\n\nin Hongkong, it is at the same time necessary that we should have in Shanghai an officer with whom the numerous documents can be filed, in duplicate if necessary, and to whom the prescribed returns should be made; and that there should be open to inspection in Shanghai all registers, lists &c., which would be available there were the registry itself in Shanghai. This is necessary for facilitating the business of the companies and for the protection of the public interested in them; and I think the representatives of the British Government in China are entitled, without having to apply to Hongkong, to information about companies, which have to be protected and which will probably have to fulfil some extraordinary conditions. We should have got all this with the branch office of the London Registry, which we contemplat- -ed and I do not think that we can surrender it, because the Hongkong Government is to have a deputy here instead of the Board of Trade.\n\nAs you say the promoters will do their prepara.\n\n-tory work wherever they wish, and there will come a time when they will have to elect whether they are to keep a Hongkong register or a local register. I should like companies then as they do at home, under ss. 3, 4 and 5 of the Act to decide what, to put it shortly, is to be their domicil, Hongkong or China; if their business is in Middle or North China they will no doubt choose Shanghai, if it is, say, at Canton I admit difficulties may some day arise, but such companies would almost invariably be managed from Hongkong, and they would not require a registered office in China, they would have the registered office in Hongkong. When a company has once chosen its domicil, the",

As I said there will be special conditions attached to China Companies, which are rendered necessary by circumstances of which the Shanghai Court has better knowledge than the Hongkong Court; indeed the Hongkong Court would hardly know on what lines to exercise a discretion in some \n\ncases, \n\nwere a discretion provided for in the new legislation. Section \n\n1 (3), which is no doubt necessary at the present time, I think ought not to be wanted where there is a proper Court having direct jurisdiction, for that is the proper Court to apply to. Should a large number of companies arise in South China which are not managed in or from Hongkonę we can make provision in the future, but in the meantime let us legis-late for existing circumstances, i.e. Companies managed in Shanghai nine-tenths, in other Northern ports one-tenth, on the one hand, and Companies managed in Hongkong on the other hand. Hongkong is the centre for the latter, Shanghai for the former, and the Court in each place should have exclusive jurisdiction for the purposes of the Ordi-nance over the Hongkong Companies having their registered office in the colonial and extraterritorial jurisdiction respectively. Such a \n\nlimitation of the jurisdiction of the Courts follows such a well known practice as that which is applied to the different parts of the \n\nUnited Kingdom and is one to which we can better apply existing law than the one you suggest, which might lead to business concerns in the \n\nNorth being hampered in their work by applications to the Hongkong Court. There may be reasons which I do not appreciate for the latitude you would give, but, so long as a Company can choose and does choose where its registered office is to be, I think it would be better that \n\nit should not be allowed to chop and change its Court. \n\nI am very anxious to get this business which is of great importance settled by the summer, so I should like to have \n\nyour further views on the two points as soon as it is convenient to you. \n\nSincerely Yours \n\n(Sd.)

The Lu Chun were moved outside the city and the mutinous artillery replaced by the formation of two new ying, one from the Bannermen and one from Lung's own force, 300 Chi Chun and 120 Yunnanese.\n\nHaving secured as far as possible his military position, Lung Tutu's next step was to turn out of office such of the Kuo Min Tang officials as had not fled on hearing of his impending arrival: and the thoroughness with which he completed his task may be gauged from the list of present officials given in a later section of this report. Lung himself at one time belonged to the Kuo Min Tang, having been introduced thereto by the late Ch'en Ching-hua at a time when it was dangerous not to profess adherence to that body. His real sympathies, however, were always monarchical. Ch'en Ching-hua, whatever his political creed may have been, was a cost-efficient Commissioner of Police but he fell under suspicion of treason and by the President's instructions was arrested and summarily shot under circumstances which have laid the Tutu open to much criticism. The other Commissioners, foreign-educated young men of ultra-radical tendencies, including the heads of the departments of Finance, Foreign Affairs, Home Affairs, Industry, and Education, have all been superseded and their departure is a distinct gain to the province. No official of Kuo Min Tang tendencies remains in office today and the principal senior posts are held by men who have served in one capacity or another under the Empire. The Kuo Min Tang headquarters on the New Bund are deserted and Lung has established for the first time in Canton an officially recognised branch of the Chin Pu Tang.\n\nAmong other evidences of his desire to dissociate his government from the aims of the late regime may be noticed the new Tutu's encouragement, at the instance no doubt of Peking, of the cult of Confucius. The instructions recently issued to magistrates to see to it that the doctrines of Confucianism were regularly expounded in every rural district are prompted not by any prejudice against the Christian religion as such, but by political motives which demand an antidote to the revolutionary ideas prevalent.",

The ad valorem Court fees were in fact paid on\n\nJuly 3rd. after I discovered the file in Mr. Alim Khan's drawer.\n\nI signed the grant: but the stamps were not then on: it must have been an oversight: I may have been busy and took it for granted it\n\nwas all right.\n\nThe case of Li Ah hau; a case of Letters of Administration:\n\n$14.50 was paid to Mr. Alim Khan on or about 12.9.12; $6 disbursed\n\nby him in stamps on 17th. September, 1912; balance retained till\n\n9th. August, 1913, when he sent it to me. Letters of Administra-\n\n-tion were handed out on 29th. September, 1913. The question of\n\nsureties caused the delay.\n\nAll the pending files were kept by Alim Khan with a register:\n\nall the cases were duly entered: he concealed none. I never check-\n\n-ed the register with the file: all the files were under his (Alim Khan's) complete control; some files would never eventuate. Only Alim Khan and the applicant would know the cause of the\n\ndelay.\n\nNo periodic examination was made by me into this register. Alim Khan managed the matters up to a point himself; the papers would come to him from the Chief Justice and he ought to notify the parties concerned; if he didn't, there was no check.\n\nUp",

I am quite responsible for all the office.\n\nThere might have been notes of payment on other files between January and April; but I didn't observe them.\n\nIf there were such notes I did not examine the files with such care as to observe them. I do not know if the practice of receiving fees in advance was current in my predecessor's time. If it was, when Mr. Kemp was there, there was no harm in your continuing it; I should have stopped it if I had known of it.\n\nDate",

Alim Khan: the petition was sworn on 20th. December, 1912, and stamps put on 23rd.\n\n**\n\nIn fact here I did exactly what you were doing. I did not regard the Circular of 14th. November,, 1912, as applicable to myself. I took the Circular, I think, from the General Orders: the General Orders refer to myself. The Circular was applicable to me. I gave you the money in Sonksen's case because it was a special case. I saw you before the Circular and told you you must n't take money from anyone. In Sonksen's case you broke the General Orders and the circular on my instructions.\n\nThe giving of the number brings the file to the attention of the Auditor: if they are not numbered the Auditor would not look at them: Cordeiro and How Yin'e case were not numbered.\n\nI never knew the Auditor calls for unnumbered files; the preliminary fees are entered in the fee-book: I did not know whether unnumbered files have been called up or not from the Chief Justice's office. He does a test audit not a general audit.\n\nCordeiro and How Yin's cases would not have been traced by the Auditor: if they had been numbered they might have been traced. I don't know where the Auditor's get their numbers from; whether from the fit fee-book or register of application. You take the numbers consecutively from a book in which petitions for probate or Letters of Administration are entered: the Auditor could take the numbers from this book: the petitions and the probates have different numbers; the probate numbers were not consecutive in the\n\nMAGI",

Misc. papers in the Registry are not sorted out in the Registry some time for months. On the 30th of June last when I was preparing myself for the Registrar to check my work in the afternoon of that day I sorted out all the Misc. papers to be filed and amongst them were acknowledgments and receipts from India in the following cases:-\n\nAmir Khan, deceased.\n\nMohamed Ji, deceased.\n\nWedawa Singa, deceased\n\nand another matter the name of which I cannot remember and the two receipts issued by Mohamed Ackber on the 1th of April, 1913, in re Gahnaya Singh, deceased. I do not remember if they were initialled by Mohamed Ackber or not. I found the files in re Amir Khan, deceased, and Mohamed Ji, deceased, and filed the acknowledgments and receipts concerning these two matters. I took Mohamed Ackber round and showed him the several cupboards where all probate files were kept and told him where to look for the files in re Wadawa Singh, deceased, the other matter that I do not remember, and Gahnaya Singh, deceased. I told him that I could not find the files in these matters to file these papers I showed them to him\n\nand told him how to get the papers filed when he would find the files. I put back in his presence the papers in these three matters in the pigeon-hole marked \"Misc. Papers to be filed\". He said \"All right, I will do it\". The Honourable the Colonial Secretary remarked in the course of the Cross-Examination of Mohamed Ackber by me whether one man would commit felony to put another man in trouble. I submit \"where there is a will there is a way\". People generally commit crimes by doing harm to others. If I had not been stopped from cross-examining Khawas Kian on the question of enmity I could have shown that that man not only would conspire with others to ruin me but if he could get a\n\nchance of sucking my blood he would do it at the risk of his life.\n\nHe had the courage to say when I asked him that he had no enmity with me.

I was superseded by junior to me both in service and grades, and inferior,\n\nmy juniors\n\n-\n\nI submit, in qualifications generally and far less diligent than me, I have worked for the Government for 6 months continuously end of 1909 to May 1910 at the rate of 14 to 15 hours a day often having to work till midnight in the office and at home.\n\n-\n\nOn several occasions I had to sleep in the office not being able to catch the last ferry to Kowloon. The Local Registers Ordinance had just then come into force and the rubber boom was on and the work in the Registry could not have been managed without working at that rate. This would be confirmed by Mr. J. H. Kemp, as he was then the Registrar. His recommendation as to that is on record in the Colonial Secretariat, Hongkong. I have got my diaries in the Registry showing at what time I used to get up in the winter mornings during that period to work. I never enjoyed a single holiday that took place during the period aforesaid.\n\nI feel confident in saying that I am intelligent and capable enough to get promotion in my right turn if not fit and capable to get it above the heads of my seniors. Although I have not worked under any member of the Committee yet I am sure they would hesitate to say that I was not fit for promotion in my right turn. Mr. Nisbet would not support my claim to promotion in spite of my repeated requests to him. He took Mr. Mirsa's application for promotion to the Treasury personally and got it for him. I feel quite safe in saying that had it not been for Mr. Nisbet Mr. Mirsa would not have got promotion, and I would not have been superseded by my juniors. I told Mr. Nisbet that if I got no satisfaction in Hongkong that\n\nI would submit my claim to promotion to the Secretary of State.\n\nI submit that had I been a fraudulent person I would not have put in formally an application for long leave on the 9th. of June last whereby I was giving the Registrar 6 months notice that I was leaving the Department.

He was arrested on suspicion on landing, and on him were found detailed map of the Suez Canal, sheet of (--?-- ) cypher messages concealed in his tarboosh, and other compromising correspondence. He had also entrusted to (members of ships' companies ?) two (? box) es of detonators for exploding dynamite and notro-glycerine.\n\nFurther a steady stream of German officers and men both naval and military together with all kinds of war material has flow- ed unceasingly into Constantinople, which has been converted to all intents and purposes into a German military base. German officers\n\nare known to have penetrated far into the interior of the Turkish\n\nEmpire in the endeavour to stir up agitation against Great Britain and her allies. All these movements, it is impossible to doubt,\n\nhave been carried out with the direct connivance of the Ottoman\n\nAuthorities and can point to only one conclusion.\n\n(That) neutral powers (meant) deliberately and intentional- ly to provoke Great Britain to war is shown by instructions issued not later than October 18th to the Turkish commandant at Jaffa by the Turkish Minister of War, which already allude to His Majesty's Government as the enemy, give detailed orders as to resisting attack by warships and include an order to break the Consulate flagstaff and remove the insignia.\n\nThe Mosul Damascus Army Corps have since their mobilization been constantly sending troops south preparatory to an invasion of Egypt and the Suez Canal from Akaba and Gaza.

        "content_text": "## 8\n\nThe magistrate, however, took no steps to uproot it, though he had plenty of troops at his disposal. It was doubtless misgivings of the magistrate's zeal that suggested to Mr. Ding the advisability of having a final look at the district before the inspection commission passed through. Mr. Ding arrived at Hui An eight days before me, and, after obtaining information from the local missionaries and the opium inspector, left with the latter and a force of soldiers for the localities under poppy.\n\nIt was known by the Hui An authorities that Mr. Ding was in the neighbourhood conducting a vigorous campaign, but they were ignorant as to what parts had actually been cleared and what remained to be cleared by him. In these circumstances, when I informed Mr. Chan Pai Kong in the evening that it would be necessary for me to go to Lam Po via Goa Chhu on the following day, there was considerable anxiety on the part of the Chinese delegates lest we might meet with poppy in that district. Many difficulties were raised, but Mr. Chan promised to do his best to overcome them.\n\nOn the following morning, I was surprised to find that orders had been issued to proceed to Lam Po via Ko Koai and Tho Nia instead of as originally arranged. I protested strongly against this change of route, but Mr. Chan assured me positively that the latter route was impracticable owing to a high range of hills which could not be crossed. There was some suspicion in my mind that the Chinese authorities were uncertain of the country between Iap Chhu and Lam Po or that they were endeavouring to gain time, and this suspicion was strengthened later in the day, when, after leaving Tho Nia, a body of sixty soldiers returning to Hui An were passed. Mr. Chan's secretary admitted to me that these troops had been sent off late the previous evening to Lam Po to make sure that there was no poppy still there. The fact, however, that they were returning to Hui An via Tho Nia seems to bear out Mr. Chan's statement that the other route was impracticable. It is true that a high range of hills lay between Tap Chhu and Goa Chhu and that there seemed to be no roads in this part of the country, the morning journey from Ku Jim through Ko Koai to Tho Nia being mostly over paddy fields. No poppy was seen, but near Ko Koai, a missionary at Hui An informed me that traces were visible of the uprooting in the foregoing week. He informed me that it was pulled up at this village seven days before my arrival, he himself having seen it in the fields on the previous day. It was noteworthy that the streets of the villages in this neighbourhood were deserted, the inhabitants, fearing retribution, having locked themselves behind their doors.\n\nThe Chinese delegates were naturally highly indignant at the conduct of the Hui An magistrate, who appeared to me, however, rather mentally deficient and incompetent than actually corrupt. I was told that in 1912, when, on an opium uprooting expedition at Soan lo, the villagers had opened fire on his soldiers, he had forbidden the latter to reply, on the ground that he could not bear to inflict suffering on his subjects, whilst in another village, he had been publicly thrashed by the dissatisfied parties of a lawsuit. But there appeared to be no evidence that his supineness was due to improper motives. The Hui An district is very difficult to control, the gentry intractable, and the people much given to clan fighting, on account of the water supply, which is too poor to allow of much rice being grown. The district is therefore poor, and there has always been great difficulty in getting a good man to accept the magistracy.\n\nMr. Shih Wei Ch'ung would, I was informed, be sent for trial to Foochow.\n\nI may mention that at Hui An, a foreigner in the employ of Messrs. Burroughs and Wellcome called on me, and informed me that he had been travelling in the south of the province for six weeks and had not seen a single plant. The places visited by this gentleman are marked on the attached map.\n\nTime was too short to admit of going to Sien Yu, but the magistrate of that district met us at Hong Tan, which is under his jurisdiction. He informed me that he had invited the co-operation of the missionaries in eradicating the poppy from his district, and had in his possession certificates given by them attesting that his jurisdiction was quite free. He was so confident that no more now remained that he was offering a reward of 500 dollars for information of any poppy still growing.\n\n## 9\n\nAt Hsing Hua, I found Mr. Ding Neng Guang, who had finished his work in the Hui An district. He told me that he had had a busy week clearing out poppy, and believed that the district was now practically free. He had left subordinates behind to complete the task more thoroughly, however, as he himself had to go on to other districts.\n\nThe head of the Church Missionary Society at Hsing Hua assured me that no opium was now left in that neighbourhood, nor, as far as he knew, in the whole of the country between Hsing Hua and Foochow, where formerly large areas had been under cultivation. As far as Hsing Hua was concerned, the proclamations of the magistrate and the warnings of the gentry had generally sufficed to prevent a heavy sowing, or, where the seed had actually been sown, to persuade the people to abandon cultivation. At Sien Yu, in the previous spring, some trouble had been caused by the Foochow Government's repudiation of the local authorities' permission for the crop to be gathered in on condition that it should be the last, and the city had been ultimately captured by banditti, who championed the people for the consideration of 1 dollar per acre; but he believed that there was now no poppy remaining of which the officials had cognisance.\n\nAfter an eventless journey of two days, Foochow was reached on the morning of the 20th March.\n\nThe net results of the inspection, therefore, are that during a journey of over 500 miles through the principal producing centres of South Fukien, no opium was discovered, whilst only on one or two occasions was there any evidence to warrant the belief that a few heads might still remain.\n\nIt must, I think, be admitted that the southern half of the province is now free from the plant to all intents and purposes. Doubtless, in remote and inaccessible regions, a few small patches are still being grown, but it would be difficult to suggest measures which would eliminate this qualification.\n\nThere can equally be little doubt that the campaign has, on the whole, been conducted honestly, if at times a trifle vigorously, by the officers in charge of it. The exceptions to this generalisation have been mentioned above, but the vast majority of those connected with the administration of the opium laws have been singularly free from those charges of extortion and oppression which so often attach to native officials placed in positions where such abuses can be so readily practised.\n\nAs regards the future, students of the opium question are all agreed that unless strong precautions are taken, the work that has so far been accomplished will be undone so soon as the next sowing season comes round. The incentive to grow a crop that pays ten times as well as any other local product is strong, and it is common knowledge that the seed of last year's crop is being carefully put by for future use.\n\nThere is good reason to suppose that the Provincial Government has these dangers well in mind, for Mr. Chan informed me that regulations are at present being drafted to provide against them, whilst the Civil Governor's recent speech at a meeting of the People's Anti-Opium Society at Foochow, in which he announced amidst great applause that there would be plenty of executions in the future for breaches of the anti-opium laws, suggests that the Government is determined upon a strong attitude.\n\nWith respect to opium-smoking, there is a tendency at present to deal with offences more leniently; the present scarcity of the drug has so inflated the price that it is now almost beyond the reach of all save the wealthy classes, and the authorities have doubtless realised that the cessation of smoking follows automatically the cessation of cultivation, and are devoting all their attention to the latter object.\n\nIn the larger towns and other places where there are reform or other societies interesting themselves in the anti-opium movement, it is very difficult to obtain the drug, but in out-of-the-way places, it is said to be still easy to procure.\n\nIn no district visited did I hear of opium being imported from other provinces. I was much indebted throughout the whole journey to the Chinese local officials and to the official delegates, Messrs. Chan Pai Kong and Sou Gee Chuang, for their uniform courtesy and hospitality.\n\nW. P. W. TURNER.\n\n## Enclosure 4 in No. I.\n\n**Sir J. Jordan to Chinese Minister for Foreign Affairs.**\n\nPeking, April 18, 1914.\n\nI HAVE the honour to refer to your Excellency's note of the 25th March requesting me to consent to the prohibition of import of Indian opium into Fukien.",

Bowman (police legal adviser) appeared for the prosecution; Mr. A.C. Holborn for Leung Shee-ping, Mr. S.D. Musgrove for Tseng Tsz-dam, and Dr. F.E. Hinckley for Ah Tung-shing. Mr. H.F.G. Hasler watched the case on behalf of the Chinese Maritime Customs.\n\nThe charge is as follows:\n\nFor that they, on October 16th 1915, at 804 Weihaiwei Road, unlawfully did keep for military purposes certain arms, to wit, 129 pistols and 20,830 rounds of ammunition, contrary to the Chinese Provisional Criminal Code, Section 804.\n\nMr. Newman announced that, at the present moment, there would be no further charge. If there was a further charge, it would be laid by the Customs and not by the Police.\n\nCounsel, continuing, said that before going on with the case, he wished to apply for an order in reference to a sum of $50 which had been handed to Detective Quayle, of the S.S.P. Police, by a man named Froh, who counsel believed was an Austrian.\n\nCounsel outlined the circumstances connected with the $50, and after hearing evidence thereon, he would ask that it be confiscated.\n\nDet.",

Even where the company does hold such land, and even if a transfer off the register would give a defective title, it might be well be that the new German Company would be satisfied to take the land with such defective title, and it would probably not be possible to put the British liquidator into possession of the land. \n\n8. In the case of some of the companies mentioned above, the British shareholders are in the majority, and presumably the company would act in accordance with our law, provided of course that the German management, where such exists, were unable to prevent its doing so by obstructive tactics. Here however the difficulty emerges that any dealings with the enemy shareholders would apparently be illegal. An instance of this class is the Anglo-German Brewery Company Limited which proposes to go into voluntary liquidation for the purpose of re-construction. Such re-construction in normal times would involve giving all the share- -holders the option of taking either shares in the new company or a cash payment, arbitration in the case of disagreement as to the \n\nCash value, and the payment of such cash value or the transfer of the shares in the new company to the shareholders in the old com- -pany. These negotiations and transfers cannot now take place in the case of enemy shareholders without a licence. \n\n9. In view of all the circumstances it appears to me \n\nworthy of consideration whether the wisest plan would not be to come to some compromise whereby these two classes of companies should be allowed and enabled to wind up and distribute their assets among all the shareholders. For this purpose licences would be required from H.B.M. Minister and from me. It is true",

This society is growing in strength in the south and south-west particularly among the agricultural population. Temples have been built and members initiated in increasing numbers and charms of invincibility and of protection against malign influences are sold and exhibited in the country places.\n\nA curious rumour has arisen among the Chinese to the effect that the new society has some secret connection with Li Lieh-chun and Dr. Sun Yat-sen. The explanation given is that Li and Sun fear a future return to the monarchial régime, and that they hope to use the members of the Chi Tan Hui as the nucleus of a Republican army. I understand also that many young men from Kiangsi have been given good positions in Kuangtung by Li Lieh-chun in order that they may acquire experience in anticipation of the time of trouble. If it be true that Dr. Sun Yat-sen is connected in some way with the Chi Tan Hui, he may reasonably have had some ground for alluding to the possibility of a second Boxer trouble in his telegram to Mr. Lloyd George.\n\nThe officials in general deny the existence of the society. The Garrison Commissioner at Kan Hsien, however, admitted that it had existed in the Kan Nan circuit two years before, but that orders had been issued to the magistrates for its suppression. No proclamations against secret societies were seen by me anywhere on my journey in the interior.\n\nIn any case the gentry are behind the Chi Tan Hui, and its progress merits close attention. The society advocates the return to the primitive faith of the lani, or, in other words, devil worship, a doctrine which appeals peculiarly to the people of these parts, and claims to have the direct protection of Heaven. The general tendency of the movement is therefore anti-missionary, but the resistance is so far passive and inappreciable. That the movement may hereafter develop a more serious aspect is shown by the following extracts from the correspondence of missionaries in the interior:\n\nMr. Hall, of the China Inland Mission at Lung Ch'uan, writes:-\n\nIf\n\nThe Chi-tan is if anything in a more flourishing state than ever throughout the whole Hsien of Lung Chuan, and some of the church members and enquirers are having a hard time of it. If something is not done soon to check it, sooner or later there is certain to be serious trouble. We hear that Wang Chih Shih received a proclamation to put out against it, but yielded to the entreaties of the gentry not to do so. As far as we know, the only places in Wanan Hsien where they dare to carry on the Chi-tan are on the borders of Lung Ch'uan.\"\n\nMr. Horne, of the China Inland Mission at Nanchang, writes:-\n\n\"At our provincial conference from the 4th to 10th April, many of the missionaries testified to the prevalence of this sect in their districts, and were at a loss to know how best to meet it. It certainly is a rapidly growing and serious menace to foreigners and mission work. It is to be hoped that they may soon overstep themselves and meet with repressive measures before any great harm is done.\"\n\nI have requested the missionaries throughout the province to furnish me with information as to the development of this society, and propose to take action as soon as a concrete case is brought to my notice.\n\nGeneral Trade Conditions.\n\nJapanese goods, mainly soap, scent, trinkets, thread, medicines, and toys figure conspicuously in most of the shops in the area visited where Japanese agents are also actively engaged in the collection of camphor, tea, oil, &c. In the two cities untaken by the Taipings, Nanchang and Kan Hsien, British and general foreign goods were found in considerable quantities. In general, the speed at which we were forced to travel prevented me from making extensive enquiries as to trade conditions. For the most part the towns visited had not recovered from the devastation of the Taiping rebellion. In the Wanan district and to the south and east of Kan Hsien ruthless deforestation now results in periodical floods of a severe nature which are a serious handicap to the local trade. In 1915 every house in Wanan district city was destroyed by water, and other cities have suffered in varying degree from the same cause.\n\nItinerary and State of Roads.\n\nMarch 19-Kiukiang to Nanchang (by rail)\n\n21-28.-Nanchang to Wanan (by water). 29-30.-Wanan to Kan Hsien (by road)\n\n73\n\nApril 1-2.-Kan Hsien to Yu Tu\n\nLi\n\n275\n\n644\n\n218\n\n170\n\nH\n\n3-5.-Yu Tu to Ningtu\n\n... \n\n240\n\n7-10.-Ningtu to Ihwang\n\n21\n\n} \n\n280\n\n+1\n\n11-12.-Ihuang to Lin Ch'uan (\n\n17\n\n>... \n\n120\n\n13-15.-Lin Chuan to Tu Chia Po (by water).\n\n310\n\nH↑\n\n\"\n\n16.-Tu Chi Po to Pai Ch'a (by road)\n\n50\n\nF\n\n\"\n\nELT\n\n17.-Pai Ch'a to Hsia Ping, Mei Ling, and Ch'uan Shan Chiu (by road) 18-19 Ch'uan Shan Chiu to Pung Hsin (by road)\n\n71\n\n114\n\nTH\n\n++\n\n\"\n\n20-Feng Hsin to Kao An (by road)\n\n60\n\n11\n\n21-22.—Kao An to Nanchang (by water) ...\n\n190\n\n2,748\n\n150\n\n2,898\n\nVisits in mountain regions away from main road (say)\n\nTotal Li\n\n-\n\nI have\n\nRoads. The roads by which our party travelled consist in the main of narrow tracks across a series of mountain ranges and valleys where rivers wandering in sandy channels are crossed on the flimsiest and most insecure of bridges. Planks or thin tree trunks of a total width of from 1 to 4 feet supported on rickety scaffolding extend from bank to bank across a space of from 20 to 1,000 and more feet. I crossed one of 85 spans of 20 feet. The crossing of such bridges on a wet dark night is a strain on the nerves and endurance of the hardiest person, and ten or more of these bridges may be encountered in a single day's journey. There is no vestige of a handrail and one is forced to make one's way across them as best one can. Travel in these parts is arduous, particularly in the spring which is the rainy season in Kiangsi province. To be carried across rough mountain-roads by amateur chair-bearers is an experience that must be felt to be truly appreciated. Better roads of course exist, but they did not serve the purpose of opium-poppy investigation.\n\nThe li are in general longer than in other parts of China, 2 and not 3 li being frequently the equivalent of 1 English mile, so that the actual mileage traversed by our party exceeded 1,000 miles.\n\nSir,\n\nHis Britannic Majesty's Consulate, Kiukiang,\n\nMay 4, 1917.\n\nEnclosure 9 in No. 1.\n\nConsul Smith to Mr. Alston.\n\nW.

I HAVE the honour to report that, in accordance with the instructions contained in your despatch of the 5th ultimo, I left Swatow on the 19th ultimo, in company with the Chinese delegates, on a journey of investigation into the cultivation of the opium-poppy in Kwangtung, and returned to Swatow yesterday. All preparations for the journey had been completed several days beforehand in Swatow, but no start was possible until after the arrival of the delegates from Canton. The time at our disposal for the journey was only about a month, as the poppy harvest is practically over by the middle of April.\n\nThe Chinese officials who accompanied me were: Mr. Lam Hi Chow, the chief secretary to the Chao Hsün Taoyin, who was the representative of the Ch'ao Hsün Taoyin, the principal Chinese delegate Mr. Kum Yung Fan, the secretary to, and delegate of, the Opium Suppression Bureau, Canton; and two interpreters, Mr. Hoang Tsou Yn, English and French interpreter to the civil Governor, Canton; and Mr. Lau Wai Chi, English interpreter to the Chao Hsün Taoyin.\n\n[2729-\n\n1]\n\nI}",

I went to school at NAM TOW and WON TIP went to school at SAI HEUNG. This is about three miles from NAM TOW now. This is where I first knew WON TIP and he was then about six or seven years of age. I remained in NAM TOW until I was about thirteen years of age. I then went to HONG KONG to look for work and remained there for four years. I then went to sea as a trimmer for two years.\n\nI then went to SHANG HAI where I worked for two years in a ship building yard. I then removed to FOOK CHOW and got employment as an engineer. I remained there for eight years, returned to SHANG HAI and remained there for six months. I then obtained a berth as a fireman on the Blue Funnel Line and I have been sailing on their ships ever since up to three years ago when I settled in Birkenhead.\n\nDuring the time (about seventeen\n\nPage 434\n\n(Signed) W.

I cannot conceive of any competent solicitor at present briefing them in any case which he was allowed to take himself. He would do it undoubtedly much better than they could.\n\nThere can be, I submit, no denial of opportunity to the junior Bar when the juniors are not seeking that opportunity or endeavouring to fit themselves to take it when it comes.\n\nThe defect of the present system is that the costs of a small action under present conditions are so high as to be practically prohibitive. I have always felt it a blot upon our administration that a litigant to recover a sum of say $4,000 should be compelled to disburse another $4,000 for his costs, yet that is the case under our present system.\n\nI am not implying that the remuneration of either counsel or solicitors is in such small actions always too high. The work involved may be very considerable. But the practice in Original Jurisdiction is far more lengthy and formal than in Summary, where short costs are encouraged and solicitors may apply in Chambers without the necessity of a formal motion. The result is that many of these actions are settled out of Court.\n\nFrequently the plaintiff only does so most unwillingly and at the price of relinquishing a great part of his claim. He settles because he is wearied of the delay and troubled by the expense that he finds necessary before he can get a decision.\n\nAgain, solicitors have frequently told me that they have advised their clients not to sue, but to compromise a perfectly just claim at some loss rather than\n\nPage 470",

Then three came down to my cabin and tied my hand behind me.

I also heard the sound of the cable being \"struck\".\n\nJust before anything at all happened No. 3 had come to my cabin asking for medicine: he was also tied up with me.

We were not allowed on deck.\n\nNo. 3 asked permission to walk on deck; and got it and asked to be released: three of the robbers (dressed in foreign clothing, the rest were in Chinese clothes) consulted, and then they blew the whistle.

Anyone who does so is liable to a fine of $1,000.\n\nClause 17 provides that any rent not payable under the Ordinance which has been paid by mistake can be recovered from the landlord and stopped out of the next rent payable.\n\nI beg, Sir, to move the second reading. **THE COLONIAL SECRETARY** seconded.\n\n**THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL** formally moved, and **THE COLONIAL SECRETARY** seconded, that certain interested persons who desired to be heard by Counsel should be so heard.\n\nThe motion was agreed to.\n\nThe possible into the market and buy private land in preference to Government land. They will rather pay more and be sure they get the land they ask for than take months and months of trouble, resulting in the land being purchased by someone else. This is one of the causes, and perhaps the main cause, of the situation which has brought this Bill about. The second cause is the fact that the military authorities own large sections of land in the centre of the town which they do not require and which they do not put to use. That has caused a congestion which is inevitable and led to the law of supply and demand of private property soaring to great heights. And the third and more temporary cause is the general trade slump which started about a year ago. After the war, there was a trade boom and money was locked up in trade, but the trade slump has caused money which would otherwise be invested in commercial enterprises being devoted to the purchase of shares, or the acquisition of landed property, with the result that both shares and land in this Colony have recently boomed. The money was legitimately invested and invested on the faith that the investors would get an adequate return for the money invested. Properties have changed hands in the last few months, not only on the basis of the rents then paid but on the basis of the return the landlord expected to get for his money, the law allowing him to increase his rents, and that is why a Bill such as this, which destroys the sanctity of contract, and which is retrospective, will destroy that very confidence on which all trade and all investment is based. So far from leading to further building, it will make further building in this Colony almost impossible, for once the Government sanctions the principle of retrospective legislation, there is no limit to the amount of retrospective legislation which may be subsequently introduced, and one will not know what return he may get upon his money.\n\nClause 3 of the Bill states that \"notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, whether made before or after the commencement of this Ordinance, and whether oral or in writing, no rent shall be recoverable\" except the standard rent and that rent was fixed as the rent of last December. One of the results of this will be that persons who have, with the assistance of the law, evicted the tenants of last year by offering to pay a higher rent to take their place will now be protected and permitted to pay only the rent that was paid by the people that they themselves dispossessed.\n\n**MR. C. G. ALABASTER** said—May it please your Excellency and members of the Council, I am instructed by 31 proprietors of domestic tenements in Hong Kong, who represent between them many millions of dollars of invested money, to present their petition, copies of which are, I think, in the hands of all the members of this honourable Council, and to represent their views on this matter. I do so at the risk of being described, as I have already been described in a petition in anticipation, as a \"counsellor of evil\"; for it is a principle of that British justice, which is represented by the law and is to be found in those institutions, such as this, where the law is made, that all sides are entitled to a hearing and all sides are entitled to be represented by spokesmen.\n\nNow this Bill is opposed by those I represent, and many more who have not had time to prepare or sign petitions, because it is a bad Bill. It is a Bill which, as is confessed in the memorandum of Objects and Reasons, was prepared in a hurry, which does not carry out the suggestions on which the Committee appointed was instructed to act, and which attempts to meet a situation which is not a sudden emergency but which is the result of a number of contributing causes which have operated during the last 10 or 15 years and which this Bill does nothing to remove—in fact, which this Bill does much to accentuate.\n\nThe chief of these causes has been the policy of the Land Sales Department of this Colony. The harassing restrictions which are placed in the way of every applicant for land, in whatever part of the Colony he may be, has forced people who are desirous to build to go as far as possible into the market and buy private land in preference to Government land.\n\n|          | \n|----------| \n| 10       | \n\nI think the greatest possible objection to this Bill is the clause which fixes the 31st December last year as the date at which the standard rent should be fixed. If it is necessary to fix a standard rent, surely the rent of the 30th June would be a better one, for at that date it was known that the Government contemplated such a Bill and subsequent purchases of property, if any, have been made on that understanding.\n\nWith your Excellency's permission, I will read the petition and make comments as I go.\n\n## TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR REGINALD EDWARD STUBBS, K.C.M.G.,\n\nGovernor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same and to the Several Honourable Members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong,\n\nThe Humble Petition of Li Wai Po, Chung Ting Chiu, Wong Sing Fai, Tang Hung, Tsui Kin Kwok, Tung Wai, Leung Hing Ip, Chiu Wai, Leung Wai Nam, Leung Shiu Kap, Fung Im, Chin Wong Shi, Sz To Shun Cho, Cheng Yuen, Leung Ying Chi, Pan Cheong Lam, Chan Hoi Lam, Ho Cheuk Ting, Leung Sai Chun, Yu Wai, Chan Wing Sing, Yuen Sam, Lau Kut Choi, Luk Choi Ting, Tam Chai Yat, Pun Cheung Shi, Young Ho, Wong Ping Ting, Chan Ka Ming, Chan Ka On, and Chau Shing Lee, all of Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong, Property Owners.\n\nSheweth :-\n\n1. That your petitioners are proprietors of domestic tenements in Hongkong and desire to point out to Your Excellency and Honourable Members of the Legislative Council certain objections to the proposed Ordinance to amend the law relating to the recovery of possession in certain cases and to restrict the rents of certain domestic tenements and to amend the Rating Ordinance, (hereinafter called \"the Bill\").\n\n2. Your petitioners verily believe that their views as expressed in this petition are shared by a large majority of the owners of domestic tenements in Hong Kong.\n\n3. That your petitioners view with alarm the principle of the whole Bill as unduly interfering with the law of supply and demand and as tending to prevent the free development of the Colony. That notwithstanding the exceptions contained in the Bill newly erected property your petitioners do not believe this will lead to the erection of any considerable number of domestic tenements seeing that there is no guarantee contained in the Bill that a similar Bill will not be passed in the near future bringing such newly erected property within its provisions. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly beg to submit that a provision be added to the Bill providing that all buildings now in course of erection or hereafter to be erected shall be excluded from the provisions of this or any Bill to the like effect for a period of at least 15 years.\n\n4. Your petitioners also humbly beg to submit that this Bill if passed will cause a serious fall in the value of domestic tenements and that a considerable loss will fall on those persons who have recently purchased property on the basis of the rentals now prevailing in the Colony.\n\n5. Your petitioners further humbly submit that the Ordinance should not be made retrospective but that the standard rent should be the rent payable on the coming into force of the Bill which should not be a date earlier than the date upon which the Ordinance receives the assent of His Excellency the Governor for the following reasons:-\n\n(a) That purchasers of property since the 31st day of December, 1920, have purchased the same on the basis of the rentals payable at the time of purchase and on the basis of the rents which your petitioners knew the tenants were willing to pay in respect of the properties occupied by them.\n\n(b) That mortgagees have lent money on such properties the amount of loan being based upon the value of the property calculated on the rents receivable at the time of the mortgage and on the saleable value of similar property in the open market which value was based not only upon the rentals then paid but on the demand for domestic tenements in Hongkong.",

        "content_text": "# Report on a Journey of Investigation into the Cultivation of the Opium Poppy in South Fukien, jointly with Officials appointed by the Chinese Government, by Mr. Turner.\n\nThe delegates selected by the Central and Provincial Governments respectively were Mr. Sou Gee Chuang, an official of the Board of the Interior, and Mr. Chan I'ai Kong, Taotai of Foochow and President of the Anti-Opium Bureau of Fukien. Mr. E. Cheers, of the Straits Settlement Police Service, acted as interpreter in the Amoy dialect, which is current in all the districts visited except Hing Hua, Sien Yu, and Hok Ching, south of Foochow.\n\nA rough map is attached showing the route taken, which embraced all the former principal poppy-growing centres of South Fukien. The distance covered was approximately 1,600 li, or 530 English miles, the journey occupying twenty-five days - from the 23rd February to the 19th March. In all, seventeen districts were examined out of a total of thirty-two comprised in the lower portion of the province.\n\nIn the first district visited, that of Hai Teng, the vigorous measures taken in the autumn by the local authorities checked extensive sowing, though a certain amount was discovered by the opium inspector in January and uprooted. In the spring of 1913, Captain Connelly, of the Hong Kong garrison, whilst on a shooting expedition, found large areas under poppy cultivation in the vicinity of Chhe Nia and the authorities taking no apparent action, but a local convert of Kang Boe, a neighbouring village, informed me that this region is now quite free. From reports of native pastors, I also learned that no poppy now existed in the broad belt of coast land south of Amoy and Hai Teng. (I have since heard from a missionary that he travelled through the whole of this country at the beginning of March without finding a trace of poppy.)\n\nForeigners who had recently made the journey from Changpu to Amoy having reported that the main route via O Sai had been cleared of poppy, I chose the northern road from Hai Teng, which branches off due west at T'eh Chui Ying, turning south again at Koan Jim through the Tng Kio and Kio Lai. As far as could be judged, this part of the country was now almost entirely given up to rice cultivation, the Nan Ch'i River and its tributaries affording an abundant water supply. Between Tng Kio, where we were met by a military officer in charge of 700 soldiers sent to uproot the poppy, and Changpu several fields where opium had been pulled up were passed, these being readily distinguished from the fact that, having been confiscated, they were now overgrown with weeds. Last spring, this region was one of the chief poppy-growing centres of the district. As far as I could gather, the soldiers arrived in December, meeting with no little resistance before the plant was eventually all destroyed.\n\nThe Changpu authorities appear to have counterbalanced their indifference of last spring, when there was extended cultivation throughout the district, by extreme severity in the autumn. Mr. Watson, of the English Presbyterian Mission at Changpu, told me that he was prepared to state positively that not a plant remained in the whole country between Changpu and Hai Teng, with the possible exception of a small patch hidden in a secluded valley near Toa Pu, of which he had heard many vague rumours. Mr. Watson's opinions were based partly on the declarations of the native pastors of his district at a recent conference at O Sai, and partly on personal observation during his periodical visits to native mission stations.\n\nFrom Changpu to Yunsiao, the road lies for some 8 or 9 miles over a broad, sandy, barren plain up to a range of hills some 1,200 feet high, crossed by a low pass, with a fertile valley producing rice, sugar-cane, barley, and beans on the other side. From Pan To Hsu to Tunsiao, the country is too hilly to suit the poppy, which requires the rich soil of the plains and a sheltered situation to thrive to perfection, and the task of the local authorities has accordingly been comparatively light. I learned that the district opium inspector had conducted a very strict examination in October and November last, whilst the magistrate himself informed me that of the thirty days he had been in office, twenty had been spent in scouring the country for any heads that might have eluded the observation of the inspector and his staff. Native reports confirmed the magistrate's assurance that no poppy was now left in the district.\n\nAt Chao An, I called on Father David de Miguel of the Roman Catholic Mission, who informed me that it was possible that a small quantity of poppy might still remain in the second tu or division of the magistracy, though the magistrate had a few weeks previously, on hearing of the tour of inspection, made a journey in person through this region and had a thorough uprooting. He was unable to say for certain if all had been removed, but assured me that the rest of the district was free, the people having been thoroughly scared by the arrival of the northern soldiers. The present magistrate, Mr. Chang Tseng Pa, has held office for six months. His predecessor took no steps to put a stop to the cultivation of the poppy, for which and for general maladministration he was eventually arrested and sent to Foochow for trial. Mr. Chang, on the other hand, has the reputation of being a very keen suppressionist and an able official; at the beginning of his campaign, he was placed in a difficulty by the opposition of the gentry, of whom a few leading members were financially interested in the cultivation of the drug, and were supporting the farmers in resisting the authorities. Mr. Chang promptly arrested two of the most influential, and has since had the support of the remainder. He told me that barley and tobacco were largely replacing the former opium crops. This applies in fact to the whole of the country west of Changchow, the large areas under tobacco, the leaf of which is, however, of an inferior quality, being particularly noticeable.\n\nThe country between Chao An and Ping Ho, on the borders of Kuangtung province, is little frequented by foreigners, and no reports had been received regarding the opium measures in force there. Consequently, although this part of the province has never had the reputation of being a large opium-producing centre, I was anxious to discover whether as clean a sweep had been made as in those districts nearer to the control of the high provincial authorities. Practically the whole of the 60 miles between Chao An and Ping Ho is mountainous, but the hill slopes are mostly under terrace cultivation and the valleys rich with a vast variety of native crops, rice, barley, sugar-cane, and sweet potatoes being the staple products.\n\nAfter leaving Chao An, we passed through the second tu of the district, where I had been informed there was a possibility of finding poppy, but I discovered neither traces of it nor signs of recently disturbed fields. This is probably explained by the fact that in practice, confiscated land is frequently sold back to the village or clan to which it belonged, the penalty for growing the forbidden plant being thus a double fine.\n\nAs regards the Ping Ho district, little pressure was required to induce the farmers to abandon cultivation, and it had not been found necessary to call for troops. At Sio Khe, a local missionary informed me that suppression measures had been most severe, and that, so far as the strict enquiries he had made went, the district was quite free from poppy. A native pastor had, however, informed him that a small patch was being grown in a secluded spot 20 miles north of Lung Shan; but Mr. Vosknil was confident that, if such were indeed the case, it was not being grown with the connivance of the opium inspector, of whom he spoke very highly. I was unable to ascertain the exact locality of the field.\n\nFrom native sources at Lam Ching, I learned that young poppy had been freely uprooted in December, the owner of one field being fined 800 dollars. On the whole, however, the autumn sowing had not been excessive. A reward of 100 dollars was being offered for information of any poppy still growing instead of the usual percentage of the fine imposed. Here, as elsewhere, all sorts of rumours with regard to the inspection of the province were current, the country people firmly believing that if any opium were discovered, both the grower and the district magistrate would be shot and a fine of several hundred thousand dollars demanded by the British Government.\n\nAt Changt'ai, from all accounts, the magistrate, Mr. Sou Gee Chen, a brother of the metropolitan delegate, appears to have cleared his district thoroughly. I passed through the chief former opium-growing region, and found it now almost entirely under barley.\n\nFrom Changt'ai, I took a by-road through Be Iun and Pho Tan to Koan Khau, where no traces of a former large poppy-field were now visible. The aspect of the country here changes, the hills of the west giving way to a broad plain, across which a clear view of several miles is obtained on all sides. Between Koan Khau and Ch'uan Chow lies the largest poppy-producing district of Fukien, the yield of former years in the Tong An district, according to semi-official Chinese estimates, being 50 per cent of that of the whole province.\n\nThe zone of greatest activity lies immediately south of Teng An itself, particularly in the neighbourhood of Mahang. For this reason, Teng An has been...\n\nPage 27\n\n... \n\nPage 503",

They believed the whole district to be at present quite free. A lady who had made the opium movement a keen study informed me that, according to rough observations made by her, 50 per cent of the cultivable land within a few miles radius of the city was under poppy in 1912, but during frequent journeys this year, mostly off the main routes, she had not seen a single plant. Another lady, who had just returned from a visit to the Ankhoe district, had also seen no poppy growing. The country north of that city is mountainous, and produces very little poppy, the plant when fully grown being only 8 or 10 inches high, and yielding little juice.\n\nAs the main road from Tong An to Ch'uan Chow was reported to be then free from poppy by a foreigner who made the journey in December last, I decided to strike across country from Ma Hang, dipping down south to Khoe Tang, on the sea border opposite to the large island of Kim Mng, and thence making Chuan Chow via An Hai and Chioh Sai. Between Tong An and Ma Hang the country was literally a blaze of poppy last spring, but not a vestige was now to be seen. The magistrate at Ma Hang, which has long been notorious for its connection with the opium industry, informed me that little poppy had been sown in the autumn, attributing the fact to the people's intelligence in appreciating the arguments of his proclamations, but it is probable that his treatment of offenders, which consists, in the first place, in burning their houses, confiscating their lands, and fining them heavily, and, in the second place, in beheading them if they receive these correctives with ill grace, and the presence of several companies of northern troops in the district, have been more potent deterrents to growers. It is, however, remarkable that the abandonment of an industry which, according to the magistrate's estimate, was worth 2,000,000 dollars per annum to the people of Ma Hang alone should have provoked so little resistance, and it is probable that this district will require careful watching in the future.\n\nThe inspection in this part of the country has been carried out with great thoroughness. Large barley fields, whose extent of area might have concealed a few stalks, and patches of sugar cane have been carefully examined by the inspectors, whilst suspicious houses have been entered, even a few heads of poppy growing in earthenware pots in courtyards or on the house roofs being a sufficient source of profit to induce villagers to run the risks of detection. Here, as in most parts of South Fukien, barley appears to have largely taken the place of the poppy.\n\nBetween An Hai and Ch'uan Chow an agreement was entered into last spring between the officials and the people, by which the latter were permitted to harvest the crop on giving an undertaking that no sowing should be made in the following season. This contract seems to have been faithfully carried out by both parties, for I heard of none having been planted in the autumn, whilst Ch'uan Chow missionaries informed me that in the course of up-country journeys at the new year they had seen no sign of poppy. In the adjoining district of Lam An, however, where no such compromise was made, resistance to the authorities necessitated military measures, the plant being forcibly uprooted in December. From Chuan Chow I made a day's excursion to Lam An and the neighbourhood without finding any trace of opium.\n\n## Page 28\n\nOn arriving at Hui An I found that the Anti-Opium Commissioner of Amoy, Mr. Ding Neng Guang, was then in the district scouring the country for poppy. Common with magistrates of other districts in the province, Mr. Shih Wei Ch'ung, the Hui An magistrate, when called upon for his report, had notified the Foochow head office that his district was free from the plant. This appears to have been a deliberate misrepresentation of fact, since the district opium inspector had sent in to him at the end of last year a list of places (all in the Tau Pak region, north of Hui An) where he had found poppy still growing. The magistrate, however, took no steps to uproot it, though he had plenty of troops at his disposal. The incorrectness of this report in due course reached the ears of the Amoy Commissioner, at whose request the Governor sent 200 more soldiers from Foochow, but the magistrate had not attempted to employ them. It was doubtless misgivings of the magistrate's zeal that suggested to Mr. Ding the advisability of having a final look at the district before the inspection commission passed through. Mr. Ding arrived at Hui An eight days before me, and, after obtaining information from the local missionaries and the opium inspector, left with the latter and a force of soldiers for the localities under poppy.\n\nIt was known by the Hui An authorities that Mr. Ding was in the neighbourhood conducting a vigorous campaign, but they were ignorant as to what parts had actually been cleared and what remained to be cleared by him. In these circumstances, when I informed Mr. Chan Pai Kong in the evening that it would be necessary for me to go to Lam Po viâ Goa Chhu on the following day, there was considerable anxiety on the part of the Chinese delegates lest we might meet with poppy in that district. Many difficulties were raised, but Mr. Chan promised to do his best to overcome them.\n\nOn the following morning I was surprised to find that orders had been issued to proceed to Lam Po via Ko Koai and Tho Nia instead of as originally arranged. I protested strongly against this change of route, but Mr. Chan assured me positively that the latter route was impracticable owing to a high range of hills which could not be crossed. There was some suspicion in my mind that the Chinese authorities were uncertain of the country between Iap Chhu and Lam Po or that they were endeavouring to gain time, and this suspicion was strengthened later in the day, when, after leaving Tho Nia, a body of sixty soldiers returning to Hui An were passed. Mr. Chan's secretary admitted to me that these troops had been sent off late the previous evening to Lam Po to make sure that there was no poppy still there. The fact, however, that they were returning to Hui An viâ Tho Nia seems to bear out Mr. Chan's statement that the other route was impracticable. It is true that a high range of hills lay between Iap Chhu and Goa Chhu and that there seemed to be no roads in this part of the country, the morning journey from Ku Jim through Ko Koai to Tho Nia being mostly over paddy fields. No poppy was seen, but near Ko Koai traces were visible of the uprooting in the foregoing week. A missionary at Hui An informed me that it was pulled up at this village seven days before my arrival, he himself having seen it in the fields on the previous day. It was noteworthy that the streets of the villages in this neighbourhood were deserted, the inhabitants, fearing retribution, having locked themselves behind their doors.\n\nI may mention that at Hui An a foreigner in the employ of Messrs. Burroughs and Wellcome called on me, and informed me that he had been travelling in the south of the province for six weeks and had not seen a single plant. The places visited by this gentleman are marked on the attached map.*\n\nTime was too short to admit of going to Sien Yu, but the magistrate of that district met us at Hong Tan, which is under his jurisdiction. He informed me that he had invited the co-operation of the missionaries in eradicating the poppy from his district, and had in his possession certificates given by them attesting that his jurisdiction was quite free. He was so confident that no more now remained that he was offering a reward of 500 dollars for information of any poppy still growing.\n\nAt Hsing Hua I found Mr. Ding Neng Guang, who had finished his work in the Hui An district. He told me that he had had a busy week clearing out poppy, and believed that the district was now practically free. He had left subordinates behind to complete the task more thoroughly, however, as he himself had to go on to other districts.\n\nThe head of the Church Missionary Society at Hsing Hua assured me that no opium was now left in that neighbourhood, nor, as far as he knew, in the whole of the country between Hsing Hua and Foochow, where formerly large areas had been under cultivation. As far as Hsing Hua was concerned, the proclamations of the magistrate and the warnings of the gentry had generally sufficed to prevent a heavy sowing, or, where the seed had actually been sown, to persuade the people to abandon cultivation. At Sien Yu in the previous spring some trouble had been caused by the Foochow Government's repudiation of the local authorities' permission for the crop to be gathered in on condition that it should be the last, and the city had been ultimately captured by banditti, who championed the people for the consideration of 1 dollar per acre; but he believed that there was now no poppy remaining of which the officials had cognisance.\n\nAfter an eventless journey of two days Foochow was reached on the morning of the 20th March.\n\nThe net results of the inspection, therefore, are that during a journey of over 500 miles through the principal producing centres of South Fukien no opium was ...\n\n* Not reproduced.\n\n## Page 504",

        "content_text": "## Enclosure in No. 29\n### Vice-Consul Smith to Mr. Alston\n\nSwatow, April 18, 1917.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that, in accordance with your instructions, I left Swatow on the 19th ultimo, in company with the Chinese delegates, on a journey of investigation into the cultivation of the opium poppy in Kwantung, and returned to Swatow yesterday. All preparations for the journey had been completed several days beforehand in Swatow, but no start was possible until after the arrival of the delegates from Canton. The time at our disposal for the journey was only about a month, as the poppy harvest is practically over by the middle of April.\n\nThe Chinese officials who accompanied me were: Mr. Lam Hi Chow, the chief secretary to the Ch'ao Hsün Taoyin, who was the representative of the Ch'ao Hsün Taoyin, the principal Chinese delegate; Mr. Kum Yung Fan, the secretary to, and delegate of the Opium Suppression Bureau, Canton; and two interpreters, Mr. Hoang Tsou Yn, English and French interpreter to the Civil Governor, Canton; and Mr. Lau Wai Chi, English interpreter to the Chao Hsün Taoyin.\n\nThe principal districts in which the opium poppy was previously grown are Chieh Yang, Pu Ning, Feng Shun, Ch'ao Yang, Ch'ao An and Jao Ping, the two latter in a much less degree, but nowhere have I been able to discover a single plant. The information received at this consulate from Chinese and missionary sources was to the effect that very little, if any, poppy had been planted in the autumn of 1916 in the Ch'ao Yang, Chao An and Jao Ping districts, in the east of Chieh Yang, the east and south of P'u Ning, and the north and east of Feng Shun, and that what little had been planted had been uprooted as soon as the shoots appeared, none being left growing at the end of the year. This claim appears to me to be fully established by the fact that all the fields I passed through in these districts were in full cultivation with winter crops, such as wheat, hemp, sugar-cane, &c., the sowing period of which coincides with, or is earlier than, that of the poppy, and the cultivation of the opium poppy would, therefore, appear to have been completely eradicated from these districts.\n\nWith regard to the western half of Chieh Yang and the adjoining portions of P'u Ning and Feng Shun, all reports agree that much poppy was planted in the autumn of 1916, and that, owing to the supineness and carelessness of the magistrates, who were simply place-seekers who had bought their appointments from the local revolutionary Government, and also owing to the unruly character of the Hakka inhabitants of the country, a great deal of the poppy was permitted to come to maturity, and the scraping of the capsules had commenced. Early in 1917, however, energetic magistrates were appointed from Canton, who personally conducted the uprooting of the poppy plants throughout their districts so energetically that, by the middle of February, practically not a single plant was left. The amount of opium collected as part of the first scraping only is said to have been but a very small percentage of the expected main crop, none of which was harvested, while no seed can have been saved for the next autumn's planting.\n\nThese districts I investigated very thoroughly, visiting all places where missionary reports stated that opium poppy had been seen growing, but was unable to discover a single plant. The winter crop in these districts is mainly wheat, for which, during the past seven or eight years, opium has been largely substituted; and though wheat was much in evidence, numerous bare, uncultivated plots of land showed where the poppy had been pulled up too late to permit of any other crops being sown during the winter.\n\nThe Ch'ao Hsün Taoyin, Mr. Wang Siao Cho, though unable, on account of his official duties in Swatow, to accompany the party throughout, visited us at Ch'ao Yang, Chieh Yang, P'u Ning and Ch'ao An district cities, and at Ung Kung, in Jaoping district, to satisfy himself that all arrangements for the journey and for our convenience were being satisfactorily carried out. As a suitable chair was not otherwise procurable, the Taoyin placed his own private chair and bearers at my disposal for the whole journey.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nS. WYATT SMITH.\n\n## Enclosure 10 in No. 29\n### Acting-Consul Toller to Mr. Alston\n\nNingpo, June 4, 1917.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that on the 23rd April I met, at Nanking, Mr. Yu Shou-chang, the deputy appointed by the Governor of Kiangsu for the inspection of the province, and on the following day Messrs. Chau Hang-nien and Mou Chia-yo, the delegates of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and of the Interior respectively. The Governor of Chekiang had also appointed a deputy, Mr. Chang Chin, the headmaster of the Middle School here, who accompanied me from Ningpo. This appointment was probably made because the Governors of Kiangsu and of Chekiang are brothers, and with the idea that Mr. Chang, whom I already knew well, might serve as a mediator between the Kiangsu delegate and myself in case of any difficulty or dispute, but I am glad to say no occasion for his services in this connection ever arose.\n\nFrom Mr. Giles I learned that the former opium-producing regions were in the country north of the Yang-tsze, generally known as Kiangpei, and that the only territory in which there was any likelihood of poppy being found was the Hsü-Hai circuit. Mr. Ottewill had kindly furnished me with a copy of his despatch of the 25th March last, and this together with the information which he gave me in Chinkiang from reports made in 1915, also indicated the northern part of the province as the area to be investigated. I accordingly arranged with the Chinese deputies to start our tour from Hsüchowfu, for which place we left by train on the 26th April, arriving at midnight the same day.\n\nThe following day was spent in making preparations for the lengthy chair-journey, and on the 28th April we proceeded to Hsiao Hsien. In this district we also made a circuit through the hilly country to the south of the town towards the Anhui border, striking across the ranges of hills that radiate from the town so as to examine the sheltered valleys, which were the most likely haunts of the poppy. I also climbed the highest point in the group, in order to get a wide view over the surrounding country.\n\nFrom Hsiao Hsien we went to Tang-shan Hsien, covering the distance of 150 li in a day, keeping near the Honan border—indeed, for a short distance our road took us through Honan territory. Tang-shan was, in the past, one of the most noted opium-producing areas in Kiangsu; it lies on the borders of three provinces, so appeared to be a district where, perhaps, the repressive measures might be less effective than elsewhere. We accordingly made an excursion into the surrounding country, visiting the fortified village of Hsieh Chi, on the border of Kiangsu, Shantung and Honan, and returning by a different route.\n\nOur journey was then continued to Feng Hsien and Pei Hsien. Between Feng Hsien and P'ei Hsien we did not take the direct road, but made a detour to the south in order to get from Hun Shan, one of the very rare hills in this locality, an opportunity of surveying a wide area. From Pei Hsien back to Hsüchowfu we also made a detour to the east with the object of examining the country bordering on the Wei-shan Lake.\n\nThe second stage of our journey took us from Hsüchowfu to Haichow, through Pi Hsien. From Pi Hsien to Haichow we travelled by a small road close to the Shantung border for the greater part of the way. This led us through the districts of Sutsien and Shuyang, including the country north-east of Yao-wan, where it was reported, in 1915, that a good deal of poppy had been planted. We did not visit the towns of Sutsien and Shuyang, as I was anxious to keep away from the main roads as far as possible.\n\nThe information received from the members of the American Presbyterian Mission at Haichow, who travel a great deal through the country on motor-bicycles, indicated that Kan-yü, to the north of Haichow, was not formerly an opium-producing district, and that there was little object in visiting that magistracy. As Kan-yu is, so to speak, a cul-de-sac, and a journey through the territory would have taken three or four days, after which we should have had to return to Haichow, I thought it better not to waste time on a visit there while there were important areas further south still to be inspected, so from Haichow we proceeded to Kuan-yin, which has been a hsien only since the revolution, and was formerly known as Pan-p'u. Here it was reported, in 1915, that a very large quantity of poppy had been planted, we therefore, in addition to traversing the district from north to south, ...",

A very slight local knowledge would show that the practical difficulties in the way of registering all mui taai in the Colony are so great as to render the suggestion of little value at the best: the regulations would have to contain Sections appointing Inspectors, (who, if not Europeans, would have at least to be under the closest European supervision), with large powers of entry to private houses; penalties for breach would be necessary; and with it all we should be required to deal only with cases at best irritate without making any real advance. \n\ntravellers going through \n\nthe Colony. \n\nCases of abuse could be just as easily covered: mui tsai are young and simple, with all the stupidity and timidity of the most rustic inexperience, and the truth is rarely \n\nto be got from them or through them; witnesses on their side are very rarely to be found, while the kidnapper or procuress has little difficulty in finding support for any story that may fit the case; relationship itself can be claimed, with little chance of the claim being disproved.

        "content_text": "3\n\n(4\n\nmui trai lie firmly embedded here; and the \"Anti-Muitsai Society\" merely aims the only way to remove the evil lies in at setting all these unfortunate girls the eradication of the roots through Gov. adrift without any further thought on their welfare. The first step in emancipation is to cancel all documents of sale. ernment action in cancelling these documents of sale and refusing to recognise their validity. The buying and selling of human beings in this British Colony would thereby receive its death-blow, and the mui tsai would be liberated. Instead of proceeding in this direction, opponents of reform talk of devising ways and means to prevent cruelty to the mui tsai, overlooking the fact that they preserve the poison in the system through neglecting the source of the disease. It is common knowledge that, in spite of such protection as is afforded by the Law, the vigilance of Police and the supervision of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, cruelty to mui tsai is still rampant, and, where Constituted Authority has failed to remedy an evil, it is obviously far-fetched to expect success from the propaganda of private citizens and the scrutiny of charitable institutions.\n\nThe girl's purchase price is to be considered as money advanced to her parent, and, for this consideration, the mui tsai will have to remain to work for her owner for a certain number of years to be fixed by a Commission before she regains her freedom. The power of appointing all commissions or individuals to further the work of emancipation will, of course, be exercised by the Government, whose co-operation in founding a temporary industrial home, as in Egypt, has also to be sought. With a little assistance, the unfettered mui tsai can be self-supporting and will eventually be absorbed into the ranks of domestic servants and factory hands. It will also be necessary to form an Employment Bureau to facilitate this absorption. Moreover, protection is efficacious only when it comes from those to whom cruel treatment is meted; and to promote a society of mui tsai owners for the prevention of cruelty without assisting those liable to ill-treatment to liberate themselves may be aptly compared to the formation of a league by cats in the interest of the mouse. The only way to prevent ill-treatment lies in making a clean sweep of the instruments of sale by which one human being is permitted to hold in his hand the destiny of another. It is our strong conviction that reform by persuasion is futile when applied to the mui tsai system.\n\n(V) TENTATIVE PROPOSALS TO EFFECT ABOLITION.\n\nIt is often said that the mui tsai system should be abolished, and it is often asked, \"How is abolition possible without a constructive scheme?\" What is to be done with the liberated mui tsai, and how are we to supervise those who are permitted to remain with their owners form the pivot to which almost all arguments in this burning question finally converge. It is, however, ridiculous to assume that...\n\n(a) The Anti-Muitaai Society\" seeks to assist the public to realise their mistake in continuing the evil practice of keeping mui tsais by means of literature, by holding public meetings and by giving lectures with the object of effecting abolition of the mui tsai system in the British Colony of Hongkong.\n\n(b) The Anti-Muitsai Society\" needs to petition the Hongkong Government:\n\n(1) to legislate, cancelling all documents of sale and refusing them validity irrespective of whether the girl is bought as a mui tsai or as an adopted daughter.\" It is necessary to point out, that, although the buying and selling of human beings is technically illegal in Hongkong, the law is a dead letter and the official recognition of documents such as \"presentation cards,\" etc., leaves a loophole for the traffic to flourish. Unless cancellation of such documents is enforced, girl-slavery cannot be said to be extinct in this British Colony.\n\n(2) to legislate, requiring compulsory registration of all mui tsais and \"adopted daughters.\" The distinction between a mui tsai and an \"adopted daughter\" is great and should be observed. In genuine cases of adoption, the girl should be permitted to remain with the adopted parent under certain guarantees as to education and treatment. With the cancellation of the document of sale, the mui tsai ceases to be such and it should be incumbent upon the owner to inform every member of his or her household that the former will no longer be known as mui tsai but as \"yung nui\" i.e. servant girl. The servant girl will then remain to work with her owner for a certain number of years, to be fixed by a Commission so that the owner may be compensated by service for the outlay in buying the girl. At eighteen years of age, the servant girl regains her liberty. Should the period of service fixed by the Commission expire before that age limit is attained, she may elect to remain with her owner at a monthly wage or seek the assistance of the Employment Bureau for a change. Until she regains her liberty, the servant girl will be under the supervision of inspectors, preferably of the gentle sex, having a knowledge of colloquial Cantonese.\n\n(3) to provide a building for ten years as an industrial home in which the inmates will be taught work of a vocational nature, washing and cooking included. Admission into this home is to be open to servant girls of tender years whose owners may find it troublesome to keep or difficult to manage them and to those who are temporarily out of employment. In the management of this refuge, the assistance of a missionary body should be invoked. A thorough subscription campaign amongst all members of the community, coupled with an annual subsidy from the Hongkong Government, should remove the difficulty of finance.\n\nCONCLUSION.\n\nIn conclusion, it is imperative to point out that the pernicious mui tsai system, into which the plea of necessity does not really enter, is doomed to elimination in this outpost of Western civilization and at the present stage of social development. It is the duty of a civilized community to raise its fellow citizens out of a state of degradation and oppression. When those who have a claim to sympathy happen to be helpless little girls of tender years living amongst strangers and in what, to them, is often a strange country, no denial of succour is possible without outraging our feelings of humanity. It is against a Briton's sense of right that children living under the British flag should be treated merely as goods and chattels. Finally, it is, therefore, fervently hoped that the charitable public will support this Society in its effort to assist thousands of subjugated girls to obtain a glimpse of the light of day and in removing a blot from the administration of Hongkong-one of the bright jewels in the British Crown.\n\nMrs. MA YING PIU\n\nC.

On the other hand, when he is roused he is capable of definite opinions. On the whole I do not think that he can fail to do well in the future. Therefore, while he is not as strong on the administrative side of the work as on the purely professional side, yet he has had more experience in administration than any of the other medical officers, and with increase of opportunity, probably, he would continue to improve.\n\n(Sd).

Chang Tso-lin is assisting Dr. Sun with funds. (I gathered that Er. Yeh is here for the purpose of arranging this). Chan Kwing-ming cannot move from Waichow because of the presence of Hsu at Swatow,\n\n5.\n\nMr. Liang emphasised the possibilities of a dangerous situation at Shanghai. Lu Yung-heiang, Tuchun of Cheklang, and Ho Feng-lin, Military Commander in Shanghai, with some 10,000 troops, are at loggerheads with Wu Pei-fu who is egging on the fleet at Shanghai to attack them; the fleet consisting of 3 large and 10 old small vessels. The Admiral, To Shih-kwei, is not with the fleet, and the Commanders of the ships have declared their independence. If, however, the fleet should go over to Wu Pei-fu, he would attack Shanghai and there would be serious fighting round\n\nthe city, whose supplies might be cut off. Kr. Liang insisted that the danger was a very real one, and he suggest-ed that the Consul-General should be warned.\n\n6.\n\nMr. Liang, supported by Kr. Yeh, argued strongly that the opportunity should be seized, in spite of all obstacles, to construct the loop-line. I pointed out the difficulties and, after much discussion, they said that they would explore the possibility of building it privately with capital subscribed by Chinese merchants. The Chinese Govern-ment would certainly be prepared to take it over as soon as it was a fait accompli, and in any event, with a large Central Station, it would be a paying concern.\n\n7.

A retiring officer, who has served in another Colony, is entitled to receive 'a pension representing the difference between the pension or pensions earned by that officer in respect of service under which other British Colony and a pension calculated as if his pensionable service had been only in Ceylon'. If the words 'pensionable service' are to be interpreted as meaning 'service in a pensionable office' then my service in a pensionable office in the Bahamas would be included. If on the other hand they were to be interpreted as meaning 'service in respect of which pension is actually payable to him', then service in such a pensionable office would not be included, unless it had been of a duration of at least ten years.\n\n4.\n\nThe former interpretation appears to be more in accordance with the spirit of the amendment of the Pension Ordinance, which is that for the purpose of the calculation of pension, an officer's service should be deemed to be continuous. There is no unfairness to this Colony in such an interpretation as the Colony is sufficiently protected by the #250/- limit. In my own case, even if I had secured a pension from the Bahamas Government, it would have been a very inconsiderable one - amounting only to £6, 13s, 4d. for each year's service. At the very least I ought not to be in a worse position than if this sum were actually payable by the Bahamas Government.\n\nI would therefore submit to Your Excellency that it would be reasonable and just either that (a) the words 'pensionable service' should be authoritatively interpreted as meaning 'service in pensionable offices', or that, in the alternative, (b) the words 'service in pensionable offices' should be substituted for 'pensionable service'.\n\n„Töntevoð eft\n\n6.",

I have found out that a junk from Kwongchow-wan carrying goods up was detained. It was nothing to do with the Haiphong seizure, so don't worry. The present market price is Canton $2.80 to $3.10, Kongmoon $2.80 to $2.90, Hongkong $2 to $2.10. Now Tung Man is going to Haiphong to buy goods, please give him the benefit of your advice. You and Shau Lam have formed the Shun Cheung Co: I have taken a few shares in Shau's name. In future when the Co: is sending goods I wish to put up money for them to buy 2000 taels of 1st class goods to be sent with their own consignment. I will take delivery and sell on my own account. You will kindly undertake to pay for the goods first, and as soon as the bill reaches me I promise to pay in 7 days, including insurance. The profit will be shared equally.

Date 9/1. We object to your using the firm's money for other purposes and so making us short of funds. We believe that the chop \"Tin Shing\" is very well known in United States of America. The retailing in Shanghai is in your hands only, the price of Persian and Bengal opium is so reasonable this year that it lies with you to make three times as much profit for the firm as last year, if you will only carry out your original intentions, instead of only looking after your own private interests, and disregarding those of the firm, by using all the firm's money in private house speculations. Unless you pay more attention to the interests of your fellow partners, the firm will surely come to grief.\n\n2. Date 18/1. Ah Ping has brought news from Hongkong that you have sold some property; we hope you will be able to reimburse the firm out of the proceeds. Two days ago we sent you a telegram to say that your order is ready and requesting Yu Kwong to come to Chek Ham (Kwong Chow Tan) to take delivery. These goods were bought at a very low price. The firm is short of money at present, but I am willing to put up $10,000 myself to buy material for boiling. Please collect orders, terms to be cash or at least 70 or 80 per cent cash, in order to avoid having money locked up in goods. The Shanghai market price for \"Big Sugar\" is $330; the Hong Kong market price is $260 to $270. Chek Ham price is from $8,400 upwards. The price is tempting, but the firm has no money to buy.

In Peking, the Protocol Powers have recognised Tuan Chi Jui and the provisional government provided they agree to recognise China's Loans and Treaties with Foreign Powers. Sun Yat Sen has now arrived in Tientsin and it is reported that Chi Hsieh Yuan of Nanking has fled to Shanghai. There are rumours that Feng Yu Hsiang's resignation is definite and he will shortly leave for abroad. Should this be true, it is possible that matters in the North will be simplified.\n\n14. In Szechuan, trouble appears to be brewing; Yang Sen, who conquered this province on behalf of Wu Pol Fu in 1923, is gradually losing his hold, and his generals are acquiring spheres of interests in the province. Moreover Hsiung Ki Wo, whom Yang Sen defeated, is reported to be active and desirous of revenge. Any trouble in Szechuan might affect British trade interests on the Upper Yangtze.\n\n16. The situation in Canton area has been peaceful during the last month. Sun Yat Sen in the gunboat \"Wing Fung\" arrived in Hongkong on the 16th November on his way North to join the Conference in Tientsin to which place he proceeded via Shanghai and Japan, where he delivered speeches on the subject of Asia for the Asiatics.\n\nPiracy...",

In other worlla, the real goal was permanent reinstate-ment. Eventually, as already reported, the Police came in to tender their resignations and to receive their gratuities. They were only paid down to July 15th,\n\nAs in the the date of the commencement of the strike. case of the private emrloyees, there was no resentment against the individual policemen but the general opinion was that they must be made to feel that they could not leave their posts, even under intimidation, with the certainty of finding their berths open for them whenever they chose to return1, It was further felt that the Concessions could not be satisfied with a Police who, owing to circumstances, had shown themselves to be en-tirely under the influence of local agitators, and that a new and indenendent Police was a necessity.\n\n*7.\n\nIt is agreed that there are to be no re-\"prisals on either side.\"\n\nThis calls for no particular courient. Thatever measure of muccana may be considered to have been obtained by Shameen, there is no doubt that it will be considerably more difficult in the future than it was on this occasion to compel the employees to leave their work, and that the extremist section of Cantonese officialdon dotphatically considered that they had lost\n\nFor one thing they had \"face\" heavily by the settlement,",

He had the advantage of living in Tungahan, to the east of Canton city, where the servants had not been called out, and he was thus free from the domestic and other work which had to be performed by the residents of Shameen.\n\nThe rest of the Consular Body showed the most complete solidarity during the strike and cooperated as far as they could. This applies specially to the Japanese Consul-General, Mr. Amau, who rendered active assistance in every possible way. He was always ready, at our request, to interview Chinese officials and others, when it was considered that the private intervention of a third party might be useful. He also brought the whole Japanese community into line, pointing out that they as well as the rest of the ratepayers were responsible for the Traffic Regulations that had been made the handle for the strike, and that therefore they must unite in upholding them.\n\nAs far as the Chinese are concerned, my despatches will have made it clear that Mr. Eugene Chen rendered most valuable service. Although he was acting in a purely unofficial capacity, yet the terms were settled almost entirely through him; through him also the interviews with Dr. Sun, which eventually brought about the settlement, were obtained. He has the ear of Dr. Sun more than any other single individual, and he utilised this to assist us in reaching a solution, in spite of the opposition and the hostility of Civil Governor and of C. C. Wu. Morris Cohen, Dr. Sun's bodyguard, who, though an entirely uneducated man, had much influence over him, was very helpful. His attitude was supportive.",

        "content_text": "most useful work. The problem is no- thing less than the invention of a new medium of education for several hundred million human beings, and its importance for the future of mankind cannot be exaggerated.\n\n8\n\nWorld-wide- lieve, do more to promote peace and goodwill among nations than can be effected by treaties or conventions. action on these lines would, I firmly be- ever races and philology: but as a man of the world and a persistent traveller over the earth's highways and byways, I would add that I greatly cherish the hope that some day a League of Nations will agree to teach all children of whatever race and people from youth upwards one and the same second language in addition to their native language and that this language, common to all people on earth, should be the English language.\n\nI wish to guard myself carefully against any suggestion that the remarks which I have made are intended as a disparagement of the Chinese language and literature. Nothing is further from my thoughts. I have devoted many years of my life to a study of Chinese and my study has left me with a profound admiration of Chinese literature and especially of Chinese poetry. But the Chinese language has in a very real sense \"the defect of its qualities.\" Its best quality is the concise, lucid and picturesque manner in which it portrays Chinese life and thought. Its corresponding defect is that, possibly because it forms so excellent a medium for the study of things Chinese, it is a very refractory medium for the interpretation of Western ideas. It forms indeed a sort of Forbidden City into which anything that is not Chinese can enter only in disguise, if at all. The problem for solution is how best the gates of this Forbidden City may be thrown open.\n\nNEED OF A SECOND LANGUAGE.\n\nNEW USES FOR THE UNIVERSITY.\n\nSuch a hope will not be fulfilled in our lifetime: but may I in conclusion take up a more lowly standpoint and suggest that the austere manner in which the Chinese language frowns at everything which is not Chinese perhaps accounts for the fact that so many Europeans live for years in Hongkong and in the Chinese treaty ports without making any effort to speak or to read the Chinese language? Accordingly the peculiar compradore system has come into being and we have a whole host of intermediaries between the Westerners and the Chinese. Only Government officials and missionaries, as a rule, can deal directly with the Chinese who surround them, and hence arise many regrettable misunderstandings. In this matter there seems to be room for give and take. The Chinese admittedly desire to acquire Western learning. They should, therefore, endeavour to make their language a more flexible medium for conveying Western thought. The Europeans wish to trade with the Chinese. They should, therefore, make a sincere effort to acquaint themselves with the Chinese language. If Government officials and missionaries can do so, why cannot the merchants follow suit? It would pay them handsomely and they would soon find that there is not only profit, but also pleasure, in forming friendships with Chinese gentlemen of the old school, who may perhaps not have been westernized as is the case with many of the younger generation, but who in intelligence, uprightness and good manners have nothing to learn from the West.\n\nHere again I think that the Hongkong University has before it a wide sphere of usefulness: and I propose as soon as possible to enquire how far the Faculty of Arts can assist the Hongkong Government in the higher education of our cadets in the Chinese language and generally in things Chinese and also to ascertain what arrangements can be made to afford similar facilities in the University for young English business-men, who look forward to making a career in China: because, important though it is for this University to interpret Western thoughts and aspirations to China, it is no less important that it should adequately interpret Chinese thoughts and aspirations to the West. (Applause.)\n\nI must also guard myself against the misconception that I have any desire to see a reformed Chinese language substituted for English as the medium of instruction in this University. Such an idea is so far from my mind that I would rather give it as my settled opinion that no Chinese can make a really scientific study even of his own language without first acquiring a competent knowledge of some inflexional language and that he will find no language more useful than English for such a purpose. When we look through the eye-piece of a telescope, we see the object in the field of vision, but the telescope itself disappears from view. Similarly when we use our mother tongue as an instrument for the expression of thought, we lose sight of its grammatical, syntactical and etymological peculiarities; and these peculiarities are best brought home to us when we place our native language side by side with another language, or preferably with several other languages, and study them in comparison as it were from outside. I say this as one who has taken a lifelong interest in philology.\n\nDEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (ENGINEERING).-Messrs. S. B.

W. Kew went into the accounts at considerable length, punctuating his questions with sarcasm and comment. Another shareholder, Mr. F. S. Harrison, also joined in. Mr. A. H. Rowe, managing director, gave most of the replies while Mr. H. Birkett (chairman) also answered Mr. Kew.\n\nBesides those mentioned, there were present Messrs. Sum Pak-ming, T. N. Chau (directors) and H. M. Kew, A. Nissim, C. A. Fulcher (shareholders).\n\nLast Year's Features.\n\nThe outstanding items in the report for the year ended April 30, 1926, are:-\n\n11 lakhs depreciation written off in 26 months.\n\n$40,000 profit last year instead of $46,000 loss, as result of farming out the fleet of taxis.\n\nConcessions obtained from the International and French settlements, Shanghai: 50 taxis will be sent up from Hongkong.\n\n...\n\nMr. Birkett observed that $15,000 for salaries and wages was not a big item for twelve months. Mr. Kew - \"No, when you say it slowly.\"\n\nIn Deep Water?\n\nMr. Kew said, \"The best course, take it from me, is to wind up before further trouble. This is a one man show, run for the benefit of Mr. Rowe.\"\n\nOn being accosted by a constable at Reclamation Street on Saturday night, a Chinese dropped a sack he was carrying and escaped. The sack contained eight revolvers and 800 rounds of ammunition.\n\n[No. 2995. July 22, 1926.\n\nCOMING HERE.\n\nJuly 19.\n\nThe Hongkong office of the Asiatic Petroleum Company have received information that the Marchese de Pinedo is shortly commencing a new flight from Pisa, Italy.\n\nIt will be remembered that Pinedo passed through Hongkong last October during his flight from Rome to Australia and Japan and back to Italy.\n\nFor his new flight Pinedo intends to use a seaplane and his route will cover 60,000 miles, as follows: From Pisa across Spain to Lisbon, thence by way of the Azores to Newfoundland and New York; from New York he will fly to Seattle and down the coast to San Diego and thence across country to New Orleans. From New Orleans he will pass through the West Indies to British Guiana, and strike inland across Brazil to Rio de Janeiro and on to Buenos Aires, and across the Andes to Valparaiso.\n\nHis route afterward will be as follows: Easter Island, Mangareva, Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji Islands to New Caledonia, New Zealand and Australia. Afterwards he will touch at various points in the Dutch East Indies, Manila and North China, flying inland to Hankow and still inland to Saigon in French Indo-China. The remainder of his route covers Rangoon, Calcutta, Ceylon, Chagos Islands, Seychelles, Mauritius to Beira, then round the coast of South Africa as far as Boma to the Belgian Congo; he will then strike inland to Tanganyika, and flying through Uganda and up the Nile to Cairo, along the coast to Tripoli and back across the Mediterranean to Pisa.\n\nThe Marchese de Pinedo expects to arrive in Hongkong early in November on the return part of his flight.\n\nAt the request of the Marchese, the \"Shell\" organisation are making all the necessary fuel arrangements for the entire flight. \"Shell\" aviation spirit is again chosen on account of the excellent result obtained during his last flight when 34,000 miles were covered without the slightest mishap.\n\nMOTOR MISHAP.\n\nJuly 19.\n\nMr. R. M. Johnson, of 17 Humphrey's Buildings, Kowloon, reports that while driving a motor car along Castle Peak Road on Saturday in the direction of Tsim Sha Tsui, a woman ran from the hillside and was caught by the fender, sustaining minor injuries. She refused to go to Hospital and was compensated.\n\nMr. M. Manuk returned to the Colony from Australia on Thursday by \"... Taiping\"\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nWELL DONE.\n\nJuly 19.\n\nThe bazaar which was recently held at the University in aid of the New Building Fund of St. Stephen's College resulted in a net profit of over $5,400. On this result, the students and all who helped in the organising are to be congratulated, and especially the Old Boy whom they invited to be Chairman - Mr. Chiu Ying-po.\n\nA room in the new school will be named after the 1926 Students in accordance with the privileges granted to subscribers to the New Building Fund.\n\nThe Committee wishes to thank the following patrons and Companies who kindly contributed to the bazaar:-\n\nPatrons: Mr. Sir Shou Son-chow, S.S.G.C.

It is a new set of State insurance laws, operating on July 1, and is killing every ... but the working ... is 31. For instance, a gardener, for whom one paid 18s. per annum insurance against accident in the past, has now to be paid £5; a man employed in a brewery, formerly 13s. 6d. per annum, now 78s. 9d.; bakers, similar trades, and so on, and milk carters from 40s. to 140s.; a miner from £10 to £50; and there are hundreds and hundreds, close to a thousand, all taxable. If I can get a paper (I have to keep the one I have) will send it to you. It is really unbelievable.\n\n\"The Insurance Companies will reap a harvest and I don't own one share in them. Just imagine, say, in Farmer & Co., something like 1,000 hands employed, having to pay 48s. 9d. instead of 10s. per head, and I see in the list that domestic servants have to be insured at 52s. 6d. a head, instead of 5s. Every trade, musicians included, are in the list. A boy who delivers newspapers costs his employer 70s. instead of 12s. a year. I could go on for the next hour and never finish.\n\n\"Wharf labourers, who are paid by the Steamship Companies (I have a lot of shares in those) are increased from £8 to £40 annually. So the poor shareholders in all those Companies will suffer. Clerical workers are let down the lightest, so the shares in offices and banks will not be affected.\n\n\"My broker told me about the disastrous time that's ahead!\"",

        "content_text": "FORGED NOTES.\n\nJuly 16. Before Major C. Willson at the Central Magistracy yesterday, a Chinese timber merchant was charged with being in possession of three forged ten-dollar bank notes.\n\nEvidence was given of defendant's arrests with the notes in his possession when about to board the 3.8, \"Kinshan\" for Macao.\n\nMr. M. K. Lo, who appeared for the defence, said that the notes were given to the defendant by a friend in Canton. On his arrival in Hongkong defendant found that the notes were forged and decided to take them back to Canton. Mr. Lo submitted that there had been no intention of uttering the notes in Hongkong.\n\nHis Worship held there was a grave doubt in the case and discharged the defendant.\n\nCALIFORNIA COLLEGIANS.\n\nJuly 15 Brick Morse's California Collegiana, formerly the University of California Glee Club, boasts an exceedingly talented soloist in Mr. Clyde Diddle, a senior at the University and President of the organisation. He has been with the club for four years, and has made a trip to the Orient, to Alaska, through Canada, and to Europe, on each of which trips his work as bass soloist has been highly contributive to the success of the club.\n\n\"Ve Mas-\n\nDiddle, when interviewed said, \"In my opinion the programmes which we are presenting now are of the highest calibre possible. We have always presented numbers which have been good, but as we have gained experience, and guided by our friend and leader, C. R. Marae, we have reached a state now of which we can boast,\" ranging all of the way from Dvorak's \"Largo,\" from the New World Symphony, to soft shoe dancing by \"Sta\" and \"Monk\".\n\nDiddle's mellow voice can hardly be described. It is one thing that we cannot tell you all about. But one which you will still be talking about when you leave the theatre. His singing has been in popular demand around San Francisco this last year. You'll be thrilled if you hear him at the Theatre Royal on July 19 and 21.\n\nAt the Kowloon Magistracy on July 16, a Chinese was sentenced to two weeks' imprisonment for loitering about in the vicinity of the Observatory early on Wednesday morning and creating a disturbance.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\n1\n\nTHIEF CAUGHT.\n\nJuly 16,\n\n\"That was a smart piece of work,\" remarked Major C. Willson at the Central Magistracy this morning when he was told that Mr. B. A. Hyder had caught a Chinese who was charged with the larceny of $20 from an old man at Des Voeux Road near the Wing On Company, yesterday forenoon.\n\nIt was stated by Inspector Spear that the defendant extracted the money from complainant's pocket and was seized by the owner. Defendant broke away by discarding the money and escaped in the direction of the Wing Lok Street wharf where he was caught.\n\nMr. Hyder's attention was drawn to the runaway by a whistle blown by the conductor of a passing tram car. He said that he ran down a side lane leading into Connaught Road anticipating that the man would come that way and got him just in time.\n\nDefendant was sent to prison with hard labour for three months.\n\nSTOLEN UMBRELLA?\n\nJuly 16.\n\nUnlawful possession of umbrella was the charge against a ricksha coolie before Mr. R. E. Lindsell at the Central Magistracy this morning.\n\nThe article was believed to have been stolen, although the owner was not found. Divisional Inspector Blackman said that defendant was seen in Tal Wong Street carrying the umbrella and was arrested on suspicion by a constable.\n\nDefendant said he paid 40 cents for the umbrella and intended making a present of it to his wife.\n\nHis Worship: I see you are a perfect husband. Three weeks hard labour.\n\nThis summer throughout Hongkong there will be ten Vacation Bible Schools conducted by local Chinese Christians, beginning July 19. More than 1,500 children are expected to attend. These Vacation Schools continue for one month. They are under the direction of Mr. Chang King-suen, of the Chinese YMCA.\n\nThe recent murder of an office boy at Connaught Road Central was again mentioned at the Central Magistracy this morning when the alleged assailant, another office boy who was caught and brought back from Macao, was brought before Mr. R. E. Lindsell. The case was fixed for hearing on Thursday next.\n\nMORE RED TAPE.\n\nFor the first time in three years as far as the \"China Mail\" is concerned the weather forecast for the first part of the week-end cannot be given owing to Government blunder, or red tape, or both.\n\nHitherto the \"China Mail\" has given the forecast on Saturdays, the same being obtained by telephone to cope with printing hours.\n\nBecause the No. 1 typhoon signal was hoisted, the Kowloon clerk-in-charge said that we must refer to the manager. The manager ultimately told us that the Government had supplied them with a list of people who may ring up the Observatory when the typhoon signal is up. The \"China Mail\" is not on that list.\n\nReaders who are in two minds as to picnics, recreation, excursions, sailings, cargo-working, business &c. will have to remain in the dark.\n\nThe reason for this withholding of vital information from the public must be made known.\n\nNo. 2998.—July 22, 1926.\n\nMOTOR ACCIDENTS.\n\nJuly 17.\n\nDivisional Inspector Peter Grant, of No. 7 Police Station, West Point, met with an accident while driving a motor cycle combination in Bonham Road shortly after noon yesterday.\n\nIn taking the turn near the Ying Wah College, the side car raised. The machine skidded and collided with a Hongkong Hotel motor bus which was just then coming round the corner.\n\nThe Inspector escaped with slight injury to his left knee, but he was able to get about this morning. Damage to the motor cycle was small, but the body of the motor bus had the paint work scraped off and the head lights were also damaged.\n\nStubbs Road Collision. Another accident occurred at Stubbs Road yesterday forenoon while Miss Stewart, of the Repulse Bay Hotel, was driving a motor car, but the occupants escaped injury.\n\nMiss Stewart's car collided with another car coming in the opposite direction and was slightly damaged.\n\nVOLUNTEER ORDERS.\n\nThe following is taken on the strength on July 12, 1926, and posted to the Reserve Company.\n\nNo. 1064 Pte. H. West,\n\nResignations.\n\nThe following are permitted to resign from the Corps:-\n\nNo. 827 Pte. W. D. Goodfellow, M.C. Reserve Company dated June 30, 1926.\n\nNo. 826 Pte. J. M.

Dr. and Mrs. Gill left for Singapore where they will establish their home. Mrs. Gill taught in the American School for one year and was a member of the church. Dr. Gill established a practice in Hongkong as a dentist.\n\nSCOUTS' WORK.\n\nNo. 6 Hongkong (Ellis Kadoorie School) Troop of Boy Scouts gathered at the School hall at Sookumpoo on Friday to welcome Sir Henry Gollan, the Chief Justice, who has shown a keen interest in the movement by presenting a challenge cup for inter-patrol competition annually.\n\nIn the awarding of the cup to the winning patrol, special attention will be paid to efficiency, attendance and conduct.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nCHINA PROVIDENT.\n\n241\n\nIn accordance with the Articles of Association the Very Rev. F. L. Robert, Messrs. H. P. White, T. G. Weall, Lee Koon-san and W. J. Hawker retire, and are eligible for re-election.\n\nA net deficit of just over two million dollars is the result of last year's working of the China Provident, Loan and Mortgage Co., Ltd., as shown by the books of the Company.\n\nSome months ago, an extraordinary meeting was convened at which a committee of six shareholders was appointed to investigate, with technical assistance, the financial position of the company, following some sensational disclosures.\n\nThe annual general meeting has been fixed for July 22, date, the report for the year ended December 31, 1925, will be presented, together with the statement of accounts.\n\nActual Profit.\n\nThe actual result of the year's working shows a profit of $46,125.57, plus $200,000 transferred back from Reserve, giving a credit balance of $246,125.57.\n\nThe party, which consisted of the following:- Hon. Mr. A. E. Wood (Director of Education), Mr. F. I. de Rome (Headmaster), the Rev. G. T. Waldegrave (Scout Commissioner), Scoutmaster T. K. S. Leung, Assistant Scoutmaster Yu, and masters of the School, adjourned with Sir Henry to the hall where the Scouts gave a display in signalling and ambulance work.\n\nMr. de Rome thanked Sir Henry Gollan for his attendance and interest in the Troop and spoke to the Scouts on the value of maintaining the efficiency of the Troop.\n\nSir Henry Gollan then addressed the gathering and presented the challenge cup. This was followed by a short speech by the Scoutmaster. The Scout Commissioner in a speech traced the history of the Troop, which was a good one, and commented on the Scout movement which was not only local but world-wide.\n\nThe various speeches were interpreted by Mr. K. S. Lam, who has just retired from the Scoutmastership of the Troop after several years' good service.\n\nCheers were then called for and the gathering dispersed after the singing of the British and Chinese national anthems.\n\nIt is notified in the Government Gazette with reference to the Vicar Apostolic Incorporation Ordinance, 1885, Ordinance No. 4 of 1885, and to Government Notification No. 118 of 1924, that the Right Reverend Henry Paschal Valtorta, Bishop of Lera, is now Vicar Apostolic of The Roman Catholic Church in this Colony.\n\nAuditors.\n\nThe accounts have been audited by Messrs. Linstead and Davis and Messrs. Percy Smith, Seth and Fleming who are eligible for re-election.\n\nNotice has been lodged with the Company, by certain shareholders, that it is their intention to propose the election of Messrs. Lowe, Pingham and Matthews as auditors for the current year.\n\nAUDITORS' REPORT.\n\nThe report states:-\n\nWe beg to report to the shareholders that we have audited the foregoing balance sheet with the books, documents and vouchers of the Company.\n\nA snapshot taken at the recent motor-cycle and pony gymkhana, promoted by the Mounted Section and Armoured Car Companies of the Volunteer Defence Corps. Above are seen the Mounted Infantry taking up their positions for the tent-pegging.\n\nALLEGED ASSAULT.\n\nJuly 17. Complaints of the behaviour of certain people in the Happy Valley district which had led to disagreeable circumstances were referred to at the Central Magistracy yesterday when A. H. Hartman, of 11 Tai Wong Street, Wanchai, and H. M. Ismail, of 13 Sharp Street, were charged with assaulting two Chinese ladies.\n\nThe incidents deposed to took place on July 7 as the two Chinese ladies were walking back from the path leading to the Monument having accompanied their mother part of the way home after her visit to them at their home in Leighton Hill.\n\nThree road cyclists were alleged to have been involved in the assault which consisted of catching hold of the ladies as they passed and squeezing them.\n\nIn response to the girls' screams, it was stated, the brother of one of the ladies appeared on the scene and knocked one of the cyclists from his machine. A Chinese constable also made an appearance.\n\nThe shop from which the cycles were hired was communicated with and it was stated that the three men who had taken the cycles had erased their names. A clerk of the cycle shop was called to give evidence and he stated that it was the second defendant who had erased the names.\n\nAfter making the following adjustments, which are considered necessary:\n\nWrite off Property ... $895,539.02\n\nWrite off Investment Account ... 144,951.54\n\nTransfer to Reserve for Bad and Doubtful Loans ... 1,123,680.48\n\nTransfer to Reserve for Bad and Doubtful Debts ... 26,106.98\n\nTransfer to General Reserve ... 161,736.83\n\n$2,351,015.66 The result a debit balance of $2,107,790.09, plus $18,925.50 brought forward from last year, has leaving a nett deficit of $2,086,864.50.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor has appointed provisionally and subject to His Majesty's pleasure, the Hon. Mr. Dallas Gerald Mercer Bernard to be an Unofficial Member of the Executive Council during the absence from the Colony of the Hon. Sir Edward Pollock, K.C., with effect from July 10.\n\nConsulting Committee.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor in Council has directed that the name of Mr. Frederick Lanchester Foster-Turner be added to the List of authorised architects.\n\nWe have not seen satisfactory vouchers in respect of the sum of $112,946, under the heading of work expenses made during the strike.\n\nIt appears to us that owing to the late allotment of certain shares, the dividend for the year 1924 was incorrectly paid, involving a small loss to the Company.\n\nUnder section 90 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, His Excellency the Governor in Council has ordered that the Chinese Cemetery, Mesara, J. H. Taggart and T. de Christian Meester retired from Kowloon Tong, known as New Kowloon Inland Lot No. 18, shall be closed from and after August 1, 1926.\n\nMr. W. J. Hawker was invited to join the Committee in place of Mr. J. H. Taggart.\n\nSubject to the above remarks, in our opinion, the foregoing balance sheet is properly drawn up as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the Company's affairs.",

I also learned that one of the police revolvers had been sent to Canton,\n\nand could not be returned till later.\n\nI have omitted to mention that upon our arrival\n\nwe handed over Mr. Wolfe's despatch. As the negotiations in the temple had been prolonged beyond the time limit (4 m.) it was considered advisable that one of us should return to Lowu and report to Major Drake, and this duty was undertaken by Mr. Williams.\n\nBy this time all the crew had been released and were present. After Mr. Williams had left, an aeroplane flew overhead and this greatly incensed the strikers who declaimed against the invasion of their territory.\n\nThe notorious Wong Chun Wa was present and insisted on shaking hands with me. He was very insistent in his efforts to ingratiate himself and endeavoured to explain in very bad English why he shot at Detective 0220 at Sha Tau Koh. I was unable to understand him.\n\nIt was now 17.00 hours and no sign of the arms arriving, so I suggested we should proceed, taking with us the Thompson Gun, the Verey Pistol and certain ammunition, the balance of the arms and ammunition to be sent on after us to Lowu. To this the strikers agreed, but changed their minds as we were about to depart, saying that it was better for us to proceed without any arms which they preferred to hand over in one lot. So on these conditions we started off. We had gone some distance when a man came running after us shouting that the arms had arrived and to return and take delivery. To this we demurred and told the man we would wait till he brought the arms. After waiting some time and no sign of the arms we continued on to Lowu, where I saw and reported to the Hon. Captain Superintendent of Police.\n\nIn",

Here General Ho Ying-yam (k) is in command of the Cantonese troops and is subordinate to General Cheung Kai-shek, while Chau-Yam-yan (A) and T'ang Yu-teuk (k), the military governors of Fukien and Kiang-si respectively, are subordinate to Marshal Sun Ch'uan-fang. It seems as if these two military governors were concerting measures to hold General Ho Ying-yam in check",

Thereupon Tong was solely responsible for the defence of Kiangsi. It happened that Ip Hoi Kam of Hunan waged war with Tong Shang Chi, and Tu Pei-fu sent an urgent wire to Tang Yu Teuk, Generalissimo of Kiangsi, instructing him to send a re-inforcement at once to help Ip. Tang then directed Tong Fuk Shan to do so, and therefore the latter sent his First Battalion out under the command of Ying Hang. Fortunately Tong Shang Chi was defeated (by Ip Hoi Kam) and Fu availed himself of the opportunity to enter Lai Ling, thence he wired to Tang to report his victory. Later, Tong Shang Chi offered a second counter-attack; Ip Hoi Kam was greatly defeated, and Fu had to retreat from Lai Ling, suffering a loss to the number of a Company. Shortly after Ip regained all the land he had lost, and Fu, with his re-inforcement, again occupied Lai Ling. Of late, on the 10th inst., however, Tong Shang Chi succeeded in taking Cheung Sha, and Fu, after a furious battle with Tong Shang Chi on the 14th and 15th had to retreat back to Ping Heung on the 16th. Tong Fuk Shan again sent his 2nd Battalion under Li Kim Shek to join the fight, but the latter was also seriously defeated.\n\nTherefore, Tong Fuk Shan had to retreat to On Yuen with the remnant of his troops, and on the 18th the Hunan soldiers of Tong Shang Chi occupied Ping Heung.",

Defalcation of $2,655, by Wai Kwan Shek, Clerk in Crown Solicitor's Office.\n\nThe circumstances of this embezzlement are: a defaulter for rates, Yu Cheuk Nam, on the 4th of January, 1926, handed a sum of $2,655 in bank notes to Wai Kwan Shek, a Clerk in the Crown Solicitor's Office, in payment of rates due on behalf of himself and another, Leung Sai Wing, for which no receipt was given by the recipient at the time of payment. Yu Cheuk Nam states that he called several times at the Crown Solicitor's Office and the Treasury for a receipt without being able to obtain one.\n\nI am informed, however, that Yu Cheuk Nam did not bring the matter to the notice of the Crown Solicitor until on or about the 19th of March 1926. In the meantime, the Clerk, Wai Kwan Shek, had been granted leave of absence by the Crown Solicitor on the 4th of March 1926, from which he has not returned, nor did he apparently pay over the money he had received from Yu Cheuk Nam before his departure on leave.\n\nThe Government briefed Mr. Eldon Potter, K.C., in relation to this matter, and on his opinion have decided to discontinue an action for recovery against Yu Cheuk Nam.\n\n8. Crown Solicitor. Defalcation of $5,749.57 by Cheung Tak Yan, Shroff who absconded on 5th June 1926.\n\nThe money collected in the office of the Crown Solicitor is on account of defaulters for Crown Rent,\n\n1",

Kwan Shek, 4th Grade Clerk, Defalcation by Wại\n\nThe circumstances of this embezzlement, on a cursory examination, may appear to be incomprehensible, but one has to have some understanding of the mentality of the Chinese to realise the difficulties of safeguarding against such occurrences. In the first place, Yu Cheuk Nam paid the money to the clerk, Wai Kwan Shek, although there is a proper place where payment should be made in the Crown Solicitor's Office. There is no evidence to show, as far as I am aware, whether the Shroff was in the office at the time the payment was made. Moreover, it should be observed that between the 4th January and the 19th March, Yu Cheuk Nam was apparently content with the evasive replies to his enquiries for a receipt, and failed to bring the matter to the notice of the Crown Solicitor until the 19th March.\n\n12.

I have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to consider whether adequate provision was made for carrying out of the financial operations of this department.

Several villagers who opposed the Military in the raids, in the districts mentioned, were also shot and their houses were burned.\n\nOne of the pirates shot, named LO KAM admitted participation in this piracy and gave the names of several of his confederates, he also stated that the pirates were not all acquainted with each other but were collected together by several sub-leaders. His particular sub-leaders were CHU CHING, a native of SAT YU and a man named CHEUNG YAU SANG also of SAT YU. He further stated that 39 men took part in the piracy.\n\nThe arms used were presumably smuggled on board in Hongkong. Three revolvers used in above piracy were recovered by Commander TONG TUK CHING in his operations and returned to the Hongkong Police. Later Commander TONG T CHI carried out a raid at PING SHAN on 23rd, result of which 5 men believed to be pirates were shot.\n\nS.S.

About 250 Chinese passengers were on board. One quartermaster was killed and one sailor wounded. The ship was taken to a place off TREE POINT, Bias Bay where sampans came alongside. The pirates then discharged the silver and other cargo, together with the loot taken from the passengers, into the sampans which then made for SUN LIU.\n\nThe pirates who were armed with revolvers presumably smuggled their arms on board at Shanghai.

When leaving Tai Sam Mi, six Chinese males, who had boarded the ship before leaving as passengers, produced revolvers and seized the ship. They tied up myself, compradore and chief officer and then ransacked the ship, taking all the money from the passengers. They took the ship to Fan Lo Kong (near glass factory), where they left at about 7 A.M. to-day, the 7th March, taking all the money and some clothing with them. When leaving they told us to leave at once and go full speed or other pirates would catch us.

Arms carried on board at Hong Kong and concealed in buckets with false bottoms. Property to the value of 22,000 dollars stolen. Money, jewellery and clothing stolen-no cargo stolen.

Was pirated off Amoy at approximately 12:15 P.M. on the 13th December, 1921, while on a voyage from Shanghai to Hong Kong carrying 230 Chinese passengers. The ship was taken to Tai Sam Bay, where the pirates left the ship in a junk and made for Fan Lo Kong. Pirates to the number of approximately thirty-five boarded the ship in Shanghai. Property, money and jewellery to the value of about 120,000 dollars was stolen. The pirates were probably mostly natives of Fan Lo Kong and Nim Shan districts, some of them could speak English. They were armed with revolvers. One Chinese passenger was shot dead and his body thrown into the sea. Information was later given that the names of the leaders were:—\n\n(1) Tsang Chiu Man of Wai Chau.\n\n(2) Ng Tai Kun of Fan Lo Kong,\n\n(3) Ng Tai Hi of Fan Lo Kong.\n\nAll these had previous military experience.\n\n3.

Pirated on the 19th November, 1922, about 10 miles from Macao, while on a voyage from Macao to Hong Kong, carrying approximately, 60 saloon passengers, 135 second-class and 220 third-class passengers. Pirates about 60 in number boarded the ship in Macao. They shot dead 2 Indian guards and wounded the captain, 2 guards and 2 passengers. Ship taken to Tsang Chau Island, north east of Bias Bay. Pirates left in sampans which came from the shore. Money, jewellery and clothing stolen to the value of over 34,000 dollars. Pirates spoke Hakka and Hoklo and were all armed with revolvers or rifles. Some of them had a knowledge of English. They were probably mostly natives of the villages in the Bias Bay area. Subsequently on information one man was arrested in a Shanghai boarding-house in possession of fifteen revolvers. He was supposed to have participated in the \"Sui An\" piracy. He was banished from Hong Kong for a period of ten years and handed over to the French authorities in Shanghai. Several informers came forward after the piracy with information regarding the identity of the pirates, but it is doubtful if any of the information was really accurate and no useful results were obtained from the information given. The piracy was reported to General Chan Kwing Ming, who was then in power in Canton, and a Chinese gunboat carrying troops was sent to Bias Bay. A party of police under Inspector Boulger embarked on the gunboat to watch the proceedings. The troops landed, but made little effort to locate the pirates and no useful results were obtained.\n\n7. Steamship \"Sunning.\"-River steamer, Shiu Hing Steamship Company, on Hong Kong-Kongmoon run. Was pirated at 8:15 P.M. on the 23rd October, 1923, off Castle Peak while on a voyage from Hong Kong to Kongmoon. She was carrying about 300 passengers. Pirates numbered about thirty-five men. The ship was taken to Tanng Chau Island, Bias Bay North-East, and the pirates left in the ship's boats. The captain, chief officer and one Indian guard were wounded. The pirates spoke Hakka, Hoklo, Mandarin and Puuti, and were armed with revolvers which they smuggled on board in Hong Kong. Property, jewellery and money to the value of over 20,000 dollars was stolen. It was later reported by General Hung Shiu Lun that the pirates leader's name was Tin O Tan, a native of Waichau. An informer also reported the names of several persons who were supposed to have taken part. Most of the persons mentioned came from Waichau or the Fan Lo Kong and Nim Shan districts.\n\n8. Steamship \"Hydrangea.\" On Hong Kong-Swatow run. Was pirated at about 6:40 P.M. on the 27th December, 1923, off Single Island, near Bias Bay, while on a voyage from Hong Kong to Swatow. She was carrying about 500 passengers and was taken to Bias Bay. The pirates numbered, approximately, 45 and spoke Hakka and Hoklo dialects. They were armed with revolvers and rifles. Money, jewellery and clothing to the value of 23,369 dollars was stolen, also part of the cargo, i.e., ten cases of piece-goods to the value of 10,000 dollars. The pirates who came from Fan Lo Kong and Nim Shan districts went ashore in the ship's boats. As a result of representations made to the Chinese authorities, Commander Wong Fuk Chi, under the orders of General Chan Kwing Ming carried out two expeditions against the pirates in the Nim Shan, Shan Mei and Ping Hoi districts, as a result of which seven men believed to have taken part in this piracy were subsequently shot. One of these was a pirate named Tin Ah Wong, the brother of Tin Tan, mentioned in connection with the Sunning piracy. Another pirate leader shot was named Tsang Kong.\n\nSeveral villagers who opposed the military in the raids in the districts mentioned were also shot and their houses were burned. One of the pirates shot, named Lo Kam, admitted participation in this piracy, and gave the names of several of his confederates; he also stated that the pirates were not all acquainted with each other but were collected together by several sub-leaders. His particular sub-leaders were Chu Cheong, a native of San Yu, and a man named Cheung Mau Sang, also of San Yu. He further stated that 39 men took part in the piracy. The arms used were presumably smuggled on board in Hong Kong. Three revolvers used in above piracy were recovered by Commander Wong Fuk Chi in his operations and returned to the Hong Kong police. Later Commander Wong Fuk Chi carried out a raid at Ping Shan, as a result of which five men believed to be pirates were shot.\n\n9. Steamship \"Ning Shin.\"-Shanghai-Foochow run. Was pirated at approximately 3 P.M. on the 3rd October, 1924, one day out of Shanghai, while on a voyage from Shanghai to Foochow. The ship was carrying 30 cases of silver bars consigned to the American Oriental Bank, Foochow, valued approximately 97,000 taels. Thirty-four pirates boarded the ship at Shanghai as passengers. About 250 Chinese passengers were on board. One quartermaster was killed and one sailor wounded. The ship was taken to a place off Tree Point, Bias Bay, where sampans came alongside. The pirates then discharged the silver and other cargo, together with the loot taken from the passengers, into the sampans, which then made for Sun Liu. The pirates, who were armed with revolvers, presumably smuggled their arms on board at Shanghai. They came from the Nim Shan and Fan Lo Kong districts.\n\nPage 368",

It was later reported on fairly good authority that this commander succeeded in rounding up many of the pirates and recovering most of the silver bars stolen, but the pirates were released on payment of a large sum and the silver bars were appropriated by his troops. However, another expedition was later sent under the orders of General Hung Siu Lun with Commander Wong Fuk Chi in command. The latter corroborated the statement above regarding Yung Fai Ting, and further stated that the silver had been melted down and made into silver coins. In February 1925 Commander Wong Fuk Chi succeeded in effecting the arrest of one Sun Mau at Tai Pung. This man admitted participation in this piracy, and stated that Lam Tsoi Sau (a notorious pirate), a Hakka, a native of Cheung Pai village in Fan Lo Kong district, was the leader in this piracy. He also gave the names of several of his confederates. His story was to the effect that the pirates went to Shanghai viâ Hong Kong in a B. and S. steamer. He stayed with others at the Hung On Boarding House in Hong Kong before leaving for Shanghai (this statement was verified and found to be true). The arms were purchased in Shanghai. Eighteen men accompanied him via Sha Yu Chung to Hong Kong. His share of the loot was 40 pieces of silver, 40 dollars in one dollar coins and some serge clothing. The pirates known to him came from the Bias Bay area. There were several other pirates unknown to him in this gang. This ship did not come under the Hong Kong Piracy Prevention Ordinance.\n\n10. Steamship Hong Hwa.\"-Ho Hong Steamship Company, of Singapore. Running between Rangoon, Penang, Singapore, Hong Kong, Swatow and Amoy. Was pirated six days out from Singapore in latitude 14° 53′ N., longitude 110° 24′ E., on the 13th January, 1925, at 8:40 A.M., while on a voyage from Singapore to Hong Kong. She was carrying 357 passengers. The pirates, numbering about 30 (armed with revolvers) took the ship to Tsang Chau Island, Bias Bay, and left the ship in the ship's boats, taking with them money, jewellery and clothing to the value of $53,360. From information received it would appear that the pirates came mostly from Nim Shan or Fan Lo Kong and travelled to Singapore, where they procured arms and boarded the ship as passengers. The leader of this gang is said to be a man named Lo Ah Chiu, a native of Fan Lo Kong. The ship carried wireless, which was immediately put out of action by the pirates. Hakka and Hoklo were mostly spoken by the pirates, but some spoke Fukien and a few Punti. This ship did not come under the Hong Kong Piracy Prevention Ordinance. At the time this piracy was committed, General Hung Shiu Lun and Commander Wong Fuk Chi happened to be in Hong Kong. On the suggestion of the Captain Superintendent of Police an expedition was organised consisting of members of the navy, army and police in Hong Kong and headed by Commander Wong Fuk Chi. The party left for Ha Chung, Bias Bay, in a naval tug, where a party of some 120 of Wong Fuk Chi's soldiers were embarked and taken to Fan Lo Kong Bay. A landing was effected and raids were made on Kwai Chau, Hai Chau, Nim Shan and Fan Lo Kong. The police were present at these raids. As a result, sixteen men were arrested. They were in possession of various articles of property obviously illegally obtained. Some Singapore money was also found. The sixteen men were sent to Waichau for trial, and some of the houses occupied by them were burnt, but twelve of these were released after enquiry. The four remaining prisoners were kept in custody for several months at Waichau, but after the city fell into the hands of General Chueng Kai Shek, these four were released. At Fan Lo Kong a man in one of the houses raided fired on the troops who had come to search. This man was summarily shot. He was in possession of a revolver and an automatic. He turned out to be a man called Chan Shui Wai, alias Yeung Ah In, a well-known robber and pirate.\n\nGeneral.\n\nIn dealing with the Bias Bay pirates, it has always been very difficult to get reliable information as to the identity of the pirates concerned, possibly because the whole area is more or less infested with pirates and their families, who appear to be still able to keep their movements a secret. There are undoubtedly many gangs operating (there are three well-known gangs), but these gangs are split up into sections under sub-leaders, who each recruit a certain number of men when it is decided that a piracy is to be committed. In this way it often happens that a member of a gang only knows his sub-leader and a few of the men with whom he is operating. This is an added difficulty in securing reliable information. With the possible exception of Commander Wong Fuk Chi, the Chinese authorities who have hitherto been entrusted with the suppression of piracy have made little or no attempt to clear this area; in fact, it is strongly suspected that the military have on more than one occasion acted in collusion with the pirates (many of whom have seen military service), and have been friendly disposed towards them. Effective co-operation has therefore been impossible. The most noted pirate nests in this area are: Nim Shan, Fan Lo Kong, Hai Chau, Kwai Chau, Cheung Pai, Ha Chung and Tai Pung City.\n\n(Signed) L. H. V. BOOTH,\n\nAssistant Director of Criminal Intelligence.\n\nEnclosure No. 3.\n\nRear-Admiral A. J. B. Stirling, Commodore, Hong Kong, to Governor, Hong Kong.\n\nHong Kong, June 24, 1920.\n\nWith reference to the proposals made recently for dealing with piracies which may occur in future in Bias Bay and adjacent Chinese territories, the following are briefly some of the instructions issued by the Admiralty to Naval Officers for dealing with such incidents.\n\nThese regulations apply to piracies on the inland waterways on the coasts of China, as well as on the high seas.\n\n2. Generally, His Majesty's ships may co-operate for the suppression of piracies when so requested by local authorities (through His Britannic Majesty's Consuls), with the exceptions hereafter mentioned :—\n\n(a.) His Majesty's ships are not to be despatched to localities along the coast within Chinese jurisdiction to obtain indemnities for robberies committed, or to secure the release of persons held to ransom. In all such cases local authorities are to be called upon, through His Britannic Majesty's Consul, to take immediate measures for redress, and should the means at their disposal not be sufficient to effect the object in view, the question of co-operation should be decided by the Senior Officer.\n\n(b.) Landing in pursuit of pirates within Chinese jurisdiction is strictly forbidden.\n\n(c.) The landing of armed parties to obtain information is objectionable; the enquiries should be made, when possible, by the Officer in Command.\n\n(d.) Parties are on no account to be landed from His Majesty's ships within Chinese jurisdiction to destroy houses or villages, or even search them, on the grounds of their inhabitants being engaged in acts of piracy. The Chinese officials who accompany His Majesty's ships on these expeditions have no authority to request that such measures should be adopted.\n\n(e.) It will, however, be the duty of Officers in Command to report the information that may reach them of piratical villages and depots, with a view to His Britannic Majesty's Consul calling upon the Chinese authorities to take steps for their suppression, in which case our co-operation may be afforded if solicited through His Britannic Majesty's Consul.\n\n(f) Officers may use force--\n\n(i.) When fired upon.\n\n(ii) When a piracy is actually seen to take place, for the destruction or capture of the pirates.\n\n(iii) To prevent undoubted robbers from making their escape.\n\n3. It will be observed, therefore, that on no account can any officers or men be disembarked in Chinese territory to search for or to attack pirates, and that when pirates are once on shore fire can only be opened on them at the request of Chinese officials through His Britannic Majesty's Consul and in co-operation with Chinese authorities.\n\n4. Under these special circumstances I would recommend that the most effective fire which could be opened from Naval resources in co-operation with Chinese would be salvos of incendiary bombs from aircraft, the object being to burn out the villages.\n\nBefore such action could be taken, however, it would be necessary to receive a request from the Pekin or Canton authorities, through His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Pekin or His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Canton, and it would be essential for a number of Chinese officials and troops to be present during the operation.\n\n[15276]\n\nPage 369\n\n1\n\n1",

When leaving Tai Sam Mi, six Chinese males, who had boarded the ship before leaving as passengers, produced revolvers and seized the ship.

Stirling, Commodore, Hong Kong, to Governor, Hong Kong.\n\nHong Kong, June 24, 1926.\n\nWith reference to the proposals made recently for dealing with piracies which may occur in future in Bias Bay and adjacent Chinese territories, the following are briefly some of the instructions issued by the Admiralty to Naval Officers for dealing with such incidents.\n\nThese regulations apply to piracies on the inland waterways on the coasts of China, as well as on the high seas.\n\n2. Generally, His Majesty's ships may co-operate for the suppression of piracies when so requested by local authorities (through His Britannic Majesty's Consuls), with the exceptions hereafter mentioned :-\n\n(a.) His Majesty's ships are not to be despatched to localities along the coast within Chinese jurisdiction to obtain indemnities for robberies committed, or to secure the release of persons held to ransom. In all such cases local authorities are to be called upon, through His Britannic Majesty's Consul, to take immediate measures for redress, and should the means at their disposal not be sufficient to effect the object in view, the question of co-operation should be decided by the Senior Officer.\n\n(b) Landing in pursuit of pirates within Chinese jurisdiction is strictly forbidden.\n\n(c) The landing of armed parties to obtain information is objectionable; the enquiries should be made, when possible, by the Officer in Command.\n\n(d) Parties are on no account to be landed from His Majesty's ships within Chinese jurisdiction to destroy houses or villages, or even search them, on the grounds of their inhabitants being engaged in acts of piracy. The Chinese officials who accompany His Majesty's ships on these expeditions have no authority to request that such measures should be adopted.\n\n(e.) It will, however, be the duty of Officers in Command to report the information that may reach them of piratical villages and depots, with a view to His Britannic Majesty's Consul calling upon the Chinese authorities to take steps for their suppression, in which case our co-operation may be afforded if solicited through His Britannic Majesty's Consul.\n\n(f.) Officers may use force-\n\n(i) When fired upon.\n\n(ii) When a piracy is actually seen to take place, for the destruction or capture of the pirates.\n\n(iii) To prevent undoubted robbers from making their escape.\n\n3. It will be observed, therefore, that on no account can any officers or men be disembarked in Chinese territory to search for or to attack pirates, and that when pirates are once on shore fire can only be opened on them at the request of Chinese officials through His Britannic Majesty's Consul and in co-operation with Chinese authorities.\n\n4. Under these special circumstances I would recommend that the most effective fire which could be opened from Naval resources in co-operation with Chinese would be salvos of incendiary bombs from aircraft, the object being to burn out the villages.\n\nBefore such action could be taken, however, it would be necessary to receive a request from the Pekin or Canton authorities, through His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Pekin or His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Canton, and it would be essential for a number of Chinese officials and troops to be present during the operation.\n\n[15276]\n\n377",

The defeat of the Yunnanese increased the\n\npopularity of the Russians very considerably and gave them a\n\nmuch eurer footing in the provincial administration,\n\nMoreover, their renunciation of their rights as Europeans in\n\nChina, their condemnation of the unequal treaties' and their\n\ntreatment of the Chinamen as equal were very flattering to\n\nChinese self-esteem and tended to increase the respect in\n\nwhich they were held by the Cantonese and to strengthen their\n\npolitical influence at Canton. This is reflected in the\n\nimposition of certain irregular tariffe at Canton even\n\nbefore the Hay disturbances. In flat disregard of all\n\nexisting treaties an illegal tax was imposed on oil and\n\nflour with the obvious intention of affirming China's\n\nindependence in the matter of tariffs and her rejection of the\n\nexisting 'unequal treaties'. The Shanghai riots were\n\nfollowed by a sympathetic strike in Canton.

The fire was\n\nimmediately returned and numerous casualties were inflicted\n\namong the Chinese. The strike now took on a new lease of\n\nlife. Funds began to pour in from all quarters and in a\n\nshort time a powerful strike committee assumed partial control of the functions of the National Government of Canton.\n\nrl\n\ncade\n\nreas.\n\nVar",

        "content_text": "## School Notes\n\nIt was with great regret that we heard of the death of Mrs. Belilios in November of last year. Her husband, the Hon. Mr. E. R. Belilios, built and furnished our school, which bears his name, and presented it to the Government in 1893. It was thus through his generosity that the education of girls was fostered in this Colony, and with the death of Mrs. Belilios a link between the school and its founder has been severed.\n\nIn her memory, the flag was lowered to half-mast on the school day following that of her death.\n\nThe school crest, which is used for the first time on the cover of the **Belilios Journal**, is one which has been designed for us by Mr. G. P. de Martin, Inspector of Schools.\n\nWe offer him our most grateful thanks for it and for the others that he offered us as alternatives, and feel sure that the one chosen will appeal in the simplicity of its design to the students of Belilios, especially as it is well fitted for adaptation to a school badge. Having gained a school crest, we are now ambitious for badges to wear.\n\nLady Clementi visited the school on Thursday, February 17th. She saw the whole school at work and examined the drawings, which are the work of the girls and which adorned each classroom. Before departing, Lady Clementi gave us a holiday in honour of her visit.\n\nEleven girls entered for the **Hongkong University Senior Local Examination** in December, 1926, and the following passed:\n| Name |\n| --- |\n| Hung Lai Kwan |\n| Fung Min Kwan |\n| Hui Luk Yip |\n| Ng Sui Hing |\n\nFor the **Junior Local Examination**, nine girls entered, and the following gained their certificates:\n| Name | Notes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Hui Wai Han | with distinction in Chinese |\n| Sung Ngan Lui |  |\n| Kwok Kit Ming |  |\n| Pok Kum Lün |  |\n| Cheung Yuk Chen |  |\n| Tang Kam Chi |  |\n\nThe students of **Queen's College** made a very friendly gesture to the senior classes of Belilios by inviting them to their **Annual Sports** on Saturday, April 2nd. Quite a number of the girls made the journey to Causeway Bay and came away full of pride, bearing two prizes; for, in addition to their usual competitions, the Queen's College students arranged a special Ladies' Nomination thread-the-needle race. The race \"consisted for the girls in holding the needle, but as everyone who has tried it knows, that can be quite as nerve-racking and exciting as running in the quarter-mile.\" The two who won prizes were awarded an ivory trinket box and an ivory photograph frame. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the sports and are full of gratitude to the Head Master of Queen's and the sports officials for their kindness in inviting them. Incidentally, the girls are filled with ambitions for an Annual Sports' Day at Belilios—some day.\n\nThere is yet another Examination success to record. In the examinations connected with the Chinese T.I. third-year course, which were held in December, 1926, one of the present pupils of B.P.S., Kwok Sui Ying, was successful.\n\n## Prize Distribution and Chinese Play\n\nPrize Day this year was held on Wednesday, January 26th, and an especially busy day it was, in view of the fact that a Chinese play was performed as well. We are unfortunate in Belilios in possessing no Assembly Hall in which to celebrate occasions such as this, but through the generosity of Mr. Crook, the Head Master of Queen's College, we were given the use of the College Hall both for the prize-giving and the play.\n\nThe distribution of Prizes took place in the morning, and a few parents and friends of the girls attended; the greater number of guests came in the afternoon to see the Chinese play. At the morning ceremony, Mr. A. E. Wood, Director of Education, presented the prizes, while there were also present Mr. Yu Wan and Mr. Y. P. Law, Inspectors of Vernacular Schools. There were two innovations this year; the Head Mistress' Report was first read in English by Miss Skinner and then in Chinese by the Senior Vernacular Mistress, Miss Hung. Hitherto, the report has been read in English only. A copy of the Chinese translation will be...",

Mrs. Atwell was appointed to the Staff in September for physical culture. This subject was quite new to the girls; we were therefore rather apprehensive as to the reception it would be given, but were quickly reassured as the girls showed their enjoyment from the first, and its beneficial results soon became apparent. It is noticeable that the games with which the lessons close tend to promote a larger measure of free play amongst the pupils during the hours of recess and it may generally be said that the deportment of the girls has distinctly improved.\n\n## LIBRARY\nA small room has been arranged as a library and a study for the senior pupils.\n\n## GENERAL SCHOOL ACTIVITIES\nThe Victoria Nursing Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigade still continues to be a very live interest in the school. Dr. Minett lectured during the year on First Aid and Home Nursing: in October fourteen candidates were examined by Dr. Hickling and all passed. Members attended two parades in 1926, one on the occasion of H.E. the Governor's inspection and the other on the investiture of His Excellency by H.R.H. Prince George. Pupils have expressed a wish that the School should become identified with the Girl Guide movement, and three members of the Staff together with two former pupils are training as officers with this end in view. It is hoped that patrols will be formed in March and the School is grateful to Mrs. Remington for the help she is giving.\n\nAn Old Girls' Association has recently been formed. This new manifestation of esprit de corps is most welcome, and the work Miss Lewis has done in connexion with the Association is much appreciated.\n\nYet a further departure is the founding of a School Magazine, which will be produced twice yearly.\n\n## CONCLUSION\nIn conclusion I desire to place on record my appreciation of the harmonious atmosphere which has existed during the period under review. I cannot speak too warmly of the loyalty of all branches of the Staff, and of the support extended to me throughout the year. Such whole-hearted co-operation has considerably lightened the work of administration, and I feel constrained to tender my thanks to all concerned.\n\nH. F.

The dismissal of Marshal Tseung from his command and his replacement by Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang (the \"Christian General\" and tool of Moscow) has been definitely decreed by the Hankow clique. His expulsion from the Kuomintang is also announced by the same faction. He, on the other hand, has unsparingly denounced the Hankow clique as the enemies of Chinese Nationalism, and has taken very vigorous action against their supporters wherever he has been able to lay hands upon them. He holds Shanghai and Nanking and has declared the latter to be the Nationalist capital. But the Communists appear to hold, besides Hankow, the whole of Hunan and Kiangsi provinces; and despite rumours of an understanding between Marshal Tseung and Marshal Chang Tso-lin the Fengtien forces continue to threaten Nanking, if not Shanghai. There is also in today's newspapers a hint of a split between Marshal Tseung and General Li Chai-sum. The cause of their dissension is said to be the matter of punitive funds for the further progress of the \"northern expedition\" but I cannot at the moment of writing arrive at any clear picture of the position.\n\n## 5.\nIt so happened that, at the time of the anti-communist coup in Canton, I had before me three protests by the Canton authorities, all three made prior to the week-end purgation.

Many book-stores for reactionary propaganda were closed down, and many arms of various reactionary associations were seized. In Pun Tong and Wong Sha, several reactionary associations of peasants were dissolved, and simultaneously the various Garrison Commissioners were directed in a secret message from the Generalissimo's Headquarters to make arrests in their own districts. Unexpectedly, Chan Ka Yau revolted in the Northern Region, and General Tsin has marched out to suppress him in conjunction with the Hwangsi troops; and Chan has now retreated out of Canton.

Kotewall, handing to each a personal letter from General Li Chai-sum. He also called on Mr. Li Yau-tsun and Mr. Li Yik-mui, Chairman and Vice-Chairman respectively of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, with letters from General Li.\n\nMr. Lam is a personal friend of General Li Chai-sum who was his school-mate, and who once served under him in the Chinese Army. About nine or ten years ago Mr. Lam served with Feng Yu-hsiang under General Chan Yi in Szechuen, he and Feng holding similar rank. He also at one time served under General Hsu Shu-tseng (\"Little Hsu\") who was assassinated near Peking about two years ago.\n\nMr. Lam met Sir Shouson Chow, Mr. Kotewall, Mr. Li Yau-tsun and Mr. Li Yik-mui in Mr. Kotewall's office at 12.30 p.m. the same day. He said that General Li Chai-sum was very desirous of co-operating with Hong Kong in matters conducive to the mutual interests of Canton and Hong Kong, and that he hoped that the representatives of the Chinese and the leading Chinese merchants in Hong Kong would assist him in attaining this object. The two Chinese members of Council said that they would readily and gladly do so, and that they were sure that the Hong-Kong Government would be equally ready and pleased to co-operate with Canton to promote trade between the two places, and even to assist Canton in the improvement and development of its trade and industries, because the prosperity of Hong Kong was bound up with that of Canton.

Information as to his return had been previously received in Peking, and among those who were present at the station to welcome him were Chan Hing Ah, Ying Shi Lim, Wong Ki, and other important officials in the Shun Shing Wong Fu (Residence of Prince Shun Shing). Yeung was accompanied by his two Secretaries and two advisers, and was escorted by about 100 body-guards. After alighting from the train, he went back to the Shun Shing Wong Fu, and at 3 p.m. yesterday he granted an interview to our reporter there and conversed with him for about an hour. We now publish his views below:\n\n**The Russian Problem**\n\nSince the Russian Revolution all countries in the world have severed relations with Russia, with the exception of Germany, which has given her official recognition. Some time ago, in view of the close proximity of the provinces of Kirin and Heilungkiang to Soviet Russia, Mukden was the first to have international intercourse with her. At first Soviet Russia sent Lai Kam Fook to Harbin to negotiate a Russo-Mukdenese Agreement with us. Secondly Karakan was sent to China, and thirdly Borodin. They carried on negotiations in Harbin and Canton, which were, however, fruitless on account of various difficulties. But this shows that Mukden had been friendly with Soviet Russia. Fourthly",

Fung Yuk Cheung has had much flirtation with Wuhan, and has made every endeavour to secure an alliance with Tang Shang Chi. His recent mobilization is for this purpose. The presence of Ng Tsz Yuk (i.e. Wu Pei-fu) in Shung Shan, and of Yu Hok Chung at Nam Yeung has been a great obstacle to the alliance between Fung and Tong and has constituted a very favourable situation for us.\n\nWe can assert that Fung will never dare to show any great activity chiefly for the reason that he lacks arms and funds. Therefore while it is necessary for us to be careful about our defence in the North West, we have never been moved, by any rumours that have been persistent outside, to attach much importance to the troops of Fung. I can form no idea of the troops of Lau Chan Wa and Cheung Chi Kung, who are changeable in their attitude, watching which side turns out victorious.

General Li is not a close friend of Sir Robert's, and the agent informed me that nothing particular was discussed. The following points summarise the latest interpretation of Chinese events as given by the agent:\n\n1. CH'AN FU MUK (MO), (陳炯明), Minister for Labour in Canton will be turned out and sent to Nankin during the next two or three days.\n2. His successor will probably be MA TSUI CHUN (馬超俊) who assisted in the settlement of the Shameen strike in 1924.\n3. CHANG TSO LIN will have to retreat shortly to the Manchurian provinces.\n4. YEN SHI SHAN (閻錫山) Tuchun of Shansi will then occupy Pekin. He remains on a friendly footing with CHANG TSO LIN.\n5. YEN SHI SHAN has not made an agreement with Chiang Kai-shek. Neither has he with TONG SANG CHI (T'ung Shao-yi was a former Premier), though both the latter generals are trying to come to an understanding with him.\n6.

On the Nanking side, Ho Ying-chien and Pei Shung-hsi have the most men under them. Ho has done most of the fighting.\n\n27. General Ho Lung and General Ip Ting, who formerly belonged to the Hankow clique, and who have just been defeated by Chang Fat-kuei, have left Nanking and are near the northern border of Kwongtung.\n\n28. Sun Chuan-fang has driven the Nanking troops from Jechao near Tsingtao in Shantung to as far as Haichow in Kiangsu, which has been for a long time ruled by Pei Pao-shan. Pei's position at Haichow is similar to that of Li Fuk-lam's at Honam, Canton. They both seem to be fixtures at their respective domains. It is believed that Pei's troops have now got a little below Haichow, but they have not yet reached Chinkiang.\n\n## Despatch of Japanese Troops to Shantung\n\n29. There are about 1,000 Japanese soldiers at Tsinan, Shantung; and about 1,000 at Tsingtao. There is no doubt that at one time Japan wanted seriously to interfere with the internal affairs of China. The present Japanese Minister casts a covetous eye on Chinese territory. The Japanese soldiers that were recently sent to Shantung were not invited there by Chang Tso-lin at all. As a matter of fact, Chang Tso-lin and Yang Yu-ting personally protested at the Japanese Embassy against the despatch of troops to China. The people in North China are as much against this move of Japan as the people in the South. The Chambers of Commerce at Tientsin and Shantung have lodged strong protests. The reason why Japan sent troops was that at...",

On the 18th, many of the dangerous elements were arrested, mostly under the guidance of our comrades in the City Kuomintang Department and the Canton Mechanics' Union.

In Pun Tong and Wong Sha several reactionary associations of peasants were dissolved, and simultaneously the various Garrison Commissioners were directed in a secret message from the Generalissimo's Headquarters to make arrests in their own districts. Unexpectedly Chan Ka Yau revolted in the Northern region, and General Tsin marched out to suppress him in conjunction with the Hwangsi troops; and Chan has now retreated out of Canton. We have discovered the intrigues of the Communists through censorship of postal letters and telegrams, and the worst of them was that they had misled many young men to take part in propaganda opposing us.

(Limited), Harbin, 1922–27.\n\nAppendix No. 1.\n\nParticulars of Cases reported to the Foreign Office.\n\nTHE cases reported below are those of which particulars have been found in the Foreign Office archives. Such disputes have long formed part of the normal routine work of consulates in South China. Reference is usually made to them in the quarterly intelligence reports, but very few are ever reported to His Majesty's Minister in Peking, and, of course, fewer still to the Foreign Office. These cases illustrate the problems and difficulties that arise out of the protection of Anglo-Chinese.\n\n1. Case at Amoy, 1851.\n\nAt Amoy, in January 1851, there was enacted a tragedy, of which I must recall the principal incidents. A British subject of this class was foully murdered by the authorities, mainly, as I believe, because he claimed to be a British subject.\n\nThe man was himself an inoffensive person of good character, well known to Mr. Crofton Morrison, then stationed at Amoy as interpreter, and at the time referred to he was in the employ of Messrs. Jardine, Mathieson and Co. His elder brother was reputed, and probably with reason, a leading member of one of the affiliated societies, of which Amoy and its vicinity are the home; and the authorities were, I daresay, moved to action against the family in the first instance for this reason.\n\nThe younger brother was seized early one morning, in or near his home, and carried to the Taotai's yamen. Our consul, Mr. Sullivan, on learning of his arrest, immediately proceeded to the yamen and insisted on his production, but in vain. After some hours of expostulation he returned to the consulate, and almost as he re-entered it a chair was set down at the door containing the corpse of the man he had endeavoured to save.\n\n27\n\nNo. 5, January 30, 1872. He had been beaten to death in the yamen.\n\nNo redress was ever obtained for this outrage. The case was referred to Lord Palmerston, who replied \"to the effect that, if they would have the protection of the British Government, they must adopt a costume that would leave their nationality in no doubt.'\n\nNo. 19, June 9, Sir Thomas Wade.\n\n2. Practice at Amoy, 1866.\n\n1879.\n\n\"Chinese frequently come to this port from the Straits supplied with a paper under the seal of the Resident Counsellor at Singapore, stating (Name of Chinese). An inhabitant of Singapore, Penang or Malacca, as the case may be, proceeds to the ports of China, and is entitled to protection as a British subject. These men present their passes at this office, and have hitherto been registered on the strength of such as British subjects at Amoy. After registering themselves at the consulate office, these so-called British subjects settle in the neighbouring country at a distance from the port among their relations, marry wives and own property, and when in trouble with the country people or authorities they rush to the consulate for protection. This style of thing has led, as you may imagine, to repeated conflicts between the consuls at Amoy and the mandarins, the latter claiming these people as Chinese and beyond foreign jurisdiction.\n\nConsul Swinhoe to Sir E. Hornby, Amoy, June 15, 1866. Enclosed in Peking No. 3, January 17, 1867.\n\nBut, if they get into trouble and are arrested by the authorities, they flaunt their certificates of registration in the face of the mandarins and send to the nearest consul for assistance. They are registered in the consulate, and the consul feels bound to run up the country, and with a show of naval force demand rendition of the Chinese British subjects. The mandarins come to the conclusion, as there is nothing about Chinese British subjects in the treaty, that the consul has been bribed to be meddlesome in cases beyond his proper jurisdiction, and this tends to weaken his influence and prestige.\n\n3. Case of Fan King Sing and Kan Hing Tak, Fuchow, 1872. These two men had been registered at the British consulate at Fuchow on the strength of certificates granted by the Colonial Government of Singapore, which, however, contained no statement as to the evidence on which their claim to British nationality was based. Frequent disputes occurred with the Chinese authorities, who contested the claim of these persons to be exempted as British merchants from certain li-kin taxes levied upon Chinese.\n\nThey sent a petition through the consul to the British Minister that an attempt was being made to intimidate their families in Amoy into admissions which might be used to invalidate their claim to British nationality. Sir Thomas Wade immediately requested the vice-admiral, \"without loss of time, to direct a vessel of war to each of the ports in question [Amoy and Foochow], with instructions to the commander to call with the consul upon the chief authority at these ports, and to state that he has been sent at my instance to assure himself of the security of the British subjects in question.\" He then sought an interview with Prince Kung:\n\nI told His Highness what passed at Amoy in 1851, and I added, rising as I ended the story, that if a like atrocity were to be again perpetrated upon the person of a British subject it was not to say Fuchow or Amoy, but that I would not answer for the safety of the Empire.\"\n\nSir Thomas Wade to Vice-Admiral Sir H. Kellett, January 10, 1872.\n\nSir Thomas Wade subsequently wrote to the Straits Government for full information respecting the two individuals in question, but no further report of the case reached the Foreign Office.\n\nSir Thomas Wade, Nos. 5 and 6, January 30, 1872.\n\n1882.\n\n4. Lim Ho Chen and Lim Ho Eng, Shanghai, 1882. These two men applied to be registered as British subjects at the Colonial Office, British consulate at Shanghai, and presented certificates of nationality issued by the Government of the Straits Settlements. The consul refused to register them because these certificates did not contain evidence that they were entitled under Sir E. Hornby's instructions of the 1st January,\n\n[16827]\n\nE 2",

It will be seen that the persons suspected, who are traceable, are now reduced to three: Lam Sze Cham, the Compradore, a native of Sze Yap; his brother also surnamed Lam, whose full name and birthplace are unknown; and Chan Kou Hi, a native of Poon Yu. All these three men travelled on the ship; and two of them are certainly Chinese subjects, and probably also the second Lam is a Chinese subject. The matter of their extradition however would be difficult in view of the fact that neither Smuggling nor Conspiracy is in the list of extraditable crimes given in the **\"Chinese Extradition\" Ordinance, No.7 of 1887**; and a charge in this Colony either of conspiracy or under the **Opium Ordinance, No.30 of 1923** would be difficult to support unless much more satisfactory evidence than is at present available is forthcoming.\n\nI have, &c.,  \n(Sd.) **W.

        "content_text": "# PRINCE HENRY IN HONG KONG\n\n## ROYAL WEATHER AND A ROYAL WELCOME\n## BUSY ROUND OF FORMAL AND SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS\n\nBy a strange chance the arrival in Hong Kong on April 25 of H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester coincided with two events of very great interest throughout the British Empire. Thursday happened to be the birthday of the Duke's sister, H.R.H. Princess Mary, and also an anniversary which is very solemnly observed throughout Australasia—Anzac Day. The heavy grey and black clouds hovering over Hong Kong early in the morning had passed away by the time the great P. & O. liner **Morea** entered harbour at ten o'clock, and sunshine and blue skies greeted the Duke of Gloucester as he landed at Queen's Pier an hour later.\n\n### THE PRINCE STEPS ASHORE\n### SCENE ON QUEEN'S PIER\n\nThe official landing of Prince Henry was timed for 11 a.m., but an hour earlier crowds were lining the streets and balconies giving on to Statue Square, and the Star Ferry Wharf was thick with spectators, some of whom had even climbed to the roof. Queen's Pier was decorated with flags, palms, and a red carpet which was upon the steps. On the pier were gathered members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, the Consular Body, representatives of the Churches and of His Majesty's Services.\n\nDrawn up in front of the pier was the Guard of Honour provided by the Somerset Light Infantry, under command of Capt. Strachey. The H.K. Volunteer Defence Force were in Connaught Road between Queen's Pier and the Star Ferry Wharf under the command of Major R. A. Wolfe Murray, and alongside them were some fifty members of the British Legion led by Mr. J. W. James and members of the Ex-Active Service Men's Association under Mr. T. T. Laurensen.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor (Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G.), accompanied by members of his staff, went out on the launch **Britannia** to the **Morea**, which was anchored in mid-harbour, to greet His Royal Highness, returning at 10.50 to Queen's Pier.\n\nThe approach of the launch **Lila** carrying the Prince with his staff was heralded by the playing of the National Anthem from the quarter deck of H.M.S. **Suffolk**, and as His Royal Highness stepped out of the launch to be greeted by H.E. the Governor, a Royal salute was fired by the same warship and given by the Guard of Honour.\n\nHaving shaken hands with His Excellency, the Royal Visitor was then presented to the following gentlemen who formed the reception party on the Pier—Vice-Admiral A. K. Waistell, C.-in-C., China Station, Major-General J. W. Sandilands, C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., the Colonial Secretary (the Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn, C.M.G.), the Attorney-General (the Hon.

Lo, Ho Sing Chau, Chan Tin Son, Wong Kam Fuk, Tong Yat Chuen, Lo Cheung Shiu, Wong Iu Tung, To Sz Tsun, Li Po Kwai.\n\nThe Duke of Gloucester then inspected the Guard of Honour, the National Anthem being played by the band of the Somerset Light Infantry, as he stepped off the Pier, and entered a motor-car for his drive round the streets.\n\nThe Royal Visitor is a slender young man with a small moustache, and the charming manner which distinguishes all the Royal Princes. He was wearing on this occasion a white uniform with the blue ribbon of the Garter.\n\n### A GLIMPSE OF VICTORIA\n### WEST POINT EN FETE\n\nThe short drive taken by the Prince and his party round the city, between the official landing and his reception in the City Hall, was by way of Connaught Road and Queen's Road to the City Hall, so via Hill Road and the Praya to West Point. The whole route was decorated with flags both British and Chinese, and numbers of people watched from the pavements and balconies overlooking the road. At the junction of Hill Road and Queen's Road West, where the big Chinese Restaurants are situated, a huge triumphal arch which over-topped the buildings was erected. It stretched right across the road in three arches and was built up in three tiers, the second showing one of those scenes of the Chinese Heavens which are often seen on ceremonial occasions in the Chinese quarter. The whole arch was made of coloured and pictured matting and was decorated with a message of welcome in large letters, flowers, and flags. Two smaller arches had been erected in Queen's Road West, and several more of these miniature temples were hung overhead from one side of the street to the other.",

Otherwise, the attention of the local authorities would have to be again called more closely into the problem.\n\n## Slogans\n\nDisplayed in a prominent position on the stage of the auditorium was a Chinese scroll, bearing the inscription that \"the mantle of Abraham Lincoln has fallen on Mr. H. A. Cartwright, Editor of the Hong Kong Daily Press.\" This was the tribute of the Anti-Mui-tsai Society to the late Hong Kong Editor, for his services in drawing home and local attention to the movement. It was stated by the Hon. Chinese Secretary that the scroll would now be forwarded to Mr. Cartwright's widow in England.\n\nThe meeting stood in silence for a minute as a mark of respect for the memory of the late Mr. Cartwright.\n\nMr. Peter Wong made a statement of the financial affairs of the Society. He stated that there had been a dearth of funds owing to the lapse of subscriptions, and had it not been for the expenses saved for them through being rent-free and through the secretarial work being hitherto gratuitously discharged, the Society would have been financially in a bad way indeed. As it was, there was just the wherewithal to pay for the cost of stationery.\n\nThe election of the 37 members of the General Committee was then proceeded with, including members of the local gentry and representatives of the European and Chinese press.\n\n## 144\n\n# Enclosure 2 in No.\n\n## TRANSLATION\n\nExtract from the Wa Tsz Yat Po, Hong Kong, 23rd October, 1928.\n\n### The New Committee of the Anti-Mui-tsai Association\n\nOn Saturday last, the Anti-Mui-tsai Association held a general meeting on the premises of the Young Men's Christian Association, and a new Committee of 40 members was appointed by election.

Mukden continues to sit on the fence.\n\n4. In the South, the unexpected invasion of Southern Kwangtung early in March, culminating in the capture of Pakhoi and Limchow, which were evacuated a few days later, is supposed to have given the anti-Government forces the opportunity of obtaining much-needed stores via the sea coast. How far they succeeded is not known. Up to the present, there have been few troop movements on the part of the Cantonese forces, but at the time of writing, an offensive is said to be in progress. Their objective is the capture of Nanning and the rich opium revenue it controls. The Canton forces are better armed and provisioned than their opponents. They have the advantage of naval assistance, aeroplanes, and money.\n\nThe uncertain factor is the loyalty of their Generals.\n\n5. Early in March, Lau Pui-chuen, alias Lau Ngai-fu, Director of the 10th Squadron of the Aviation Bureau, Yunnan, passed through Hong Kong on his way from Nanking to Canton, where he is supposed to be re-organizing the Air Force of the National Government. During the middle of the month, aeroplanes bombed both Lauchow and Nanning, where it is rumoured damage was done to Li Tsung-jen's headquarters and the Provincial Government House.",

There remained the other northern division, and four divisions of provincial troops, none of which however was at full strength, a generous estimate of the total for all five divisions being 40,000 men. No reliable information regarding the numbers opposed to them is available; but it seems likely that they were outnumbered by the attackers, augmented as these seem to have been by troops of bandits and irregulars inspired by the hope of loot. The so-called Iron Army, led by Cheung Fat-fui, was reputed to be an excellent fighting machine and was expected to fight desperately for the prize before it, while the defenders were thought to have been corrupted by easy living to be unlikely to offer a determined resistance.\n\nFortunately for Chiang Kai-shek, the success of T'ang Shêng-chih at Lo-Yang gave him a moment's respite just as the danger to Canton recurred. He seized the opportunity to despatch to the South what troops could be spared for the purpose - nominally four divisions, but in fact perhaps 10,000 men in all, augmented the number of aeroplanes at the disposal of Canton and ordered four gunboats to proceed thither from Amoy. He also sent one of his German military advisers and General Ho Ying-yam, his Chief of Staff, to direct all operations. Before these reinforcements arrived, the Cantonese commanders had already withdrawn their men from Kwangsi province without fighting and had taken up positions along the North River from Sam-shui to Tsing-yuen, where they dug trenches.",

        "content_text": "## IV. PRIVATE SCHOOLS, RURAL DISTRICT\n\nSubsidized Schools-Of the 96 subsidized schools on the register at the end of 1929, 16 closed during the year, and two were transferred to the non-subsidized list; but with 15 newly subsidized schools added, the number was brought up to 93 at the end of December.\n\nThe rate of subsidies has not been changed for several years; schools were subsidized with $15 to $5 per month according to their merits. 12 schools were awarded special subsidies above the ordinary scale. At the end of the year, when it was found that there was a surplus in the $15,000 subsidies vote, a number of deserving schools were given further assistance. The Shung Tak School at Taipo Market and the Chung Him Tong School at Fanling each received an extra $300; the school at Lim Ma Hang, $150; the two schools run by the residents of Tai O, $120; Wong Kwon Hing's School at Taipo Market and the two boys' schools run by the residents of Tsuen Wan, $100 each; and Kan Yiu Fong's School at Fanling Village, $60. Including these special awards, the total subsidies paid out during the year amounted to $14,775. It worked out to be $4.55 per pupil.\n\nIt is deeply regretted that the teachers of the Subsidized Schools at Tai Wai, Kam Tin, and Wo Hang died during the year: the last-named school managed to obtain another teacher to carry on, but the other two were obliged to close for want of teachers.\n\nNon-Subsidized Schools-During the year, 44 schools were registered, and 27 closed. 15 schools were transferred to, and 2 from, the list of Subsidized Schools. The total number of Non-subsidized Schools at the end of the year was 76 (72 in 1929).\n\nEnglish Night School-At the beginning of the year, an English Night School at Taipo Market was registered, but its life was a short one.\n\nSchool Buildings-The villagers of Sheung Tam Shui Hang, Shataukok District, spared no expense to put up a very serviceable school building of two storeys, and a new school was opened after the summer holidays. When building a new ancestral hall, the villagers of Sheung Yeung added a wing to the building to be used as a school, which, although limited in space, is nevertheless bright and well-ventilated.\n\nAttendance-In the Subsidized Schools, the maximum number of pupils on roll was 3,252, including 352 girls (4,247 with 352 girls in 1929), with an average attendance of 2,838. In the Non-Subsidized Schools, the maximum number of pupils on roll was 1,597, including 137 girls (1,498 with 145 girls in 1929), and the average attendance was 1,825.\n\n### Free Scholarships\n\nThere was only one applicant from subsidized schools at Tsuen Wan to compete for the three Free Places at King's College, and he was debarred by his age, being 18 years old. Two successful candidates from subsidized schools at Shatin gained admission to Yaumati Government School. Cheung Chau Government School received the full quota of three. At Taipo Government School, in addition to the three Free Places awarded to Subsidized Schools in Taipo District, there are this year three additional places offered to schools in Sheung Shui and Fanling, but only four of the six places have been filled.\n\nFree Railway passes are given to Free Scholars residing at Fanling, Sheung Shui, and Shatin for travelling to and from schools, and King's College students from Tsuen Wan have their ferry fares refunded by the Government.\n\n30th January, 1931.\n\nY.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1930.\n\n## WELFARE OF MUI TSAI.\n\n### CHILD WELFARE PROBLEM AND LOCAL CO-OPERATION OF THE PROTECTION BODIES NECESSARY.\n\nSOCIETY'S ANNUAL MEETING.\n\nEmphasising that the mui tsai is unquestionably part of the child welfare problem and urging co-ordination of efforts between various institutions interested in neglected children, the Hon. English Secretary of the Anti-Mui Tsai Society, Mr. J. D. Bush, addressed a big gathering at the annual meeting of this Society in the auditorium of the Chinese Y.M.C.A. on Saturday afternoon. He said that the Anti-Mui-Tsai Society is working for the eventual enforcement of law to protect mui tsai throughout South China.\n\nCommenting on the work of the local Child Welfare Society, the speaker said he hoped to see more officers specially selected and trained to carry on the work of the Society. \n\n### S.C.A.'S HELP APPRECIATED.\n\nInstead of having just one young lady fulfilling the duty of an Inspector, there should be at least a dozen or more officers (men and women) selected and trained because of their special aptitude for the posts they have to fill. Then, also, there should be more men who are thoroughly interested in championing the cause of every child, whether mui-tsai or any sort of neglected child, who suffers. We want genuine and enthusiastic supporters of the child welfare work in the Colony. So far as there is a difference between the work of the Child Welfare Society and our Society at all, it is a difference in thoroughness, although we have the same aims and object in view. I offer these remarks in the spirit of friendly criticism, without the least intention of being flippant or cynical.\n\nThe meeting was presided over by Mr. S. C. Yeung, the Chairman of the Anti-Mui-Tsai Society, who was supported by the Hon. English Secretary, Mr. J. D. Bush, and the Hon. Chinese Secretary, Mr. Wong She-tin.\n\n### Chairman's Speech.\n\nThe Society also wishes to report to you, in a spirit of gratitude, that considerable success has attended the efforts to get in closer touch with the Social Service Bureau in Canton. The ready response to our appeal for enforcement of mui-tsai protection in Canton is deeply appreciated. Similar relationship with the Government in Macao is hoped for in the immediate future.\n\nReturning to our work in Hong Kong, relations with the S.C.A. are excellent and most cordial co-operation has been established between us. This arises mainly from the fact that the officers in charge have exercised the utmost patience and adopted the most tolerant and tactful attitude towards cases brought before them.\n\nA general committee consisting of thirty well-known local residents interested in child welfare work was elected, including Messrs. S. C. Yeung, Ho Iu, J. D. Bush, Wong She-tin, Lam Woo, Hung To-fay, Woo Yee-tung, Wat Lok-hing, Tsak Tai-kwong, Wong Shum-kan, Wong Kam-ying, Mak Mui-sang, Cheung Kat-shing, Yung Ting-sang, Moffat Tsui, Cheuk Yan-ko, J. M.

Fok Wing-kan, Ma Luk, Chau Wai-cheung, and L. S. Shin.\n\nIn addressing the gathering, the Chairman, Mr. S. C. Yeung, said: \"Ladies and gentlemen, Before proceeding with the election of officials for the coming year and presenting to you the general report of the past year, it gives me the greatest pleasure to witness the big gathering of members and supporters to-day. Your interest and enthusiasm are encouraging to my fellow-workers and to me. Thanks to all co-workers, I have been able to continue with this uphill fight for the sake of humanity, acting as chairman of this Society for all these years, and despite my inefficiency, the keen interest taken by the many supporters of this Society for the welfare of the mui-tsai in Hong Kong has made possible the registration of mui-tsai, the beneficial results of which afford great satisfaction to all lovers of humanity.\n\n### Past Achievements.\n\nThe Honorary English Secretary, Mr. J. D. Bush, said: \"Ladies and gentlemen: Looking back on the records of work of this Society, there is legitimate cause for some satisfaction at what has been accomplished during the year under review. Registration is now an accomplished fact, with 4,299 mui-tsai actually registered, and the courts in the Colony are doing their duty in enforcing the law and bringing to justice any gross cases of extreme brutality. On the whole, these neglected children are placed under more effective protection by the Female Domestics Ordinance.\n\nAnyone following closely the reports in the local English and Chinese press could not but take note of the punishment meted out in stubborn cases of cruelty and flagrant breaches of the law in non-registration and in buying and selling of mui-tsai. In the two outstanding cases deserving more than passing notice, one defendant was fined $500 for buying and selling, and the other met the stern penalty of six months' imprisonment for treating a child of six in a brutal fashion. The melancholy condition of the child really horrified everyone in court at the time.\n\n\"I would like to thank all the Christian Church unions, the various educational institutions, and individuals for their financial assistance and circulation of leaflets and literature in our campaign against the mui-tsai system. All these efforts are directly responsible for bringing this odious system to the notice of the British Government, resulting in the Colonial Secretary and Hong Kong Government signifying their approval of the suggested registration of all mui-tsai in the British Colony. The registration will undoubtedly result in the abolition of the mui-tsai system and realisation of a great aim of this Society.\n\n### Secretary's Report.\n\nIn his report of the events recorded in the past year, the Chinese Secretary, Mr. Wong She-tin, said: \"Once again we are gathered here to tell you of the accomplishments during the year just past. It is pleasing to be able to say that we have succeeded in having registration enforced, which doubtless helps to improve the lot of the mui-tsai in the Colony to a considerable extent.\n\nThe following constitutes the total number of mui-tsai cases dealt with through this Society since October 1929:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Complaints made at this Society by mui-tsais personally | 43 |\n| Complaints made by correspondence | 13 |\n| Total | 56 |\n| Mui-tsais set free by their owners during the registration period | 12 |\n| Mui-tsais liberated by order of the Court | 20 |\n| Out of this number, girls have been restored to their relatives | 14 |\n| The rest, not having any relatives, were entrusted to the custody of the Po Leung Kuk | 6 |\n| Cases favourably decided by the mui-tsais, left in the temporary custody of their owners | 2 |\n| Mui-tsai returned to her relative after registration | 1 |\n| Owners fined or imprisoned for ill-treatment after registration | 2 |\n| Owners fined by Court for cruelty before registration | 1 |\n| Cases reported to the S.C.A. and discharged because of insufficient evidence | 6 |\n| Cases, action being taken | 8 |\n| Cases still being investigated | 4 |\n| Total | 56 |\n\n\"From the foregoing, it will be noted with satisfaction the active interest taken in the mui-tsai. But this is only a first step, and there is yet much to be done to reach the goal of complete emancipation. Why? Because, according to our original estimate, the number of mui-tsai in the Colony were about 8,000 or more, out of which only 4,299 have registered. What has become of the remainder? We know that the more kindly owners have set free a goodly number, possibly before the enforcement of registration, yet there must be a huge number being sent away surreptitiously elsewhere, while still others have purposely ignored registration. It is the fate of the unregistered for whom we are most anxious.\n\n\"Hitherto our propaganda work is directed mainly against the brutal owners of mui-tsai. Nothing has been done to help the mui-tsai themselves to understand their own legal position after registration. Many of these girls are so cowed down by their owners that they have been left in total ignorance of the primary purpose of registration and therefore dare not go to the S.C.A. to report cases of ill-treatment. There must be scores and scores of mui-tsai, who though registered, are still groaning under the brutal hands of their mistresses. Something must be done to help these poor girls out of their fear and ignorance.\n\n### Future Plans.\n\nThe meeting also discussed and resolved to continue with the campaign to secure more members of the Society and anyone who is interested in this form of child welfare work can become a member by making a first and last contribution of fifty cents to the Society. The possibilities of opening a branch society at Canton to look after child welfare in Kwangtung were also discussed, but the consensus of opinion was that such a society at Canton should be initiated by the Canton public, although the Hong Kong Society pledges its strong support for similar work in Kwangtung.\n\n\"The unwearying support of this Society coming from Lt. Comdr. and Mrs. H. L. Haslewood, the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society, the Young Women's Christian Association of Great Britain, Lady Simons, and members of the House of Commons, is largely responsible for bringing the unbelievable cruelty of the mui-tsai system to the attention of the British Government at Home, which resulted in the latter's final order for its abolition.\n\n\"I may add, in passing, there is sadness in the reflection that the S.P.C.A. in the Colony can be more active than the S.P.C.C. If protection of animals can stimulate so much interest and ardour in our midst, surely we can include in our purview the child as well. The mui tsai constitute a preponderant part of the child welfare problem in the Colony.\n\n\"The position of the mui tsai in Hong Kong from the legal point of view, is now:\n1. No further mui tsai are to be taken into employment in the Colony.\n2. No mui tsai unless previously registered in the Colony is to be brought into the Colony.\n3. Employers have no authority to keep a mui tsai if she wishes to leave.\n4. Existing mui tsai have all to be registered.\n5. Existing mui tsai are to be paid wages.\n\nDuring the meeting, a concert was given to vary the proceedings, with musical items rendered by Messrs. Peter Cheung, Chan Tak-kwong, and Lum On-ling, and Chinese singing by Messrs. Hung Kim-chau, Lam Wan-lok, Chan Shiu, Lam Liu-yee, and Lee Dic-sang, which was warmly applauded. Others who contributed to make the concert a success were Messrs. Tso Ling-wai, Ng Chi-chiu, Lee Kwok-leung, and Lum Tin-tsai. The concert concluded with another Chinese musical item by Messrs. Chu Hau-cheung, Pau Shin-chuen, and Chu Tak-cheung. Light refreshments were served.",

In 1924, I went to Canton to work (when I was 18) as a servant girl working for various persons. Last year, I had been back to the country and went to Canton in the 3rd moon. I stayed in Shin Wu Street with my uncle. I stayed 2 days and then got work in the Southern Suburbs opposite the Theatre with a man and his wife. A few days later, I moved to Chong Hau Street with my employer. A fortnight after that, I became sick. My master Yeung gave me some medicine which made me unconscious. Previously, his friend had seduced me. I was then taken on board a ship (probably at Pak Ngo Tam). I was stupefied and made no objection. The ship was called \"Sam Hung\". I was told a man \"Pui Shuk\", a travelling trader, looked after me, a man of 30 odd. He said I had been mortgaged. When I objected, he threatened me, saying, \"You will be put into the 'Po Leung Kuk' and made to wash out the latrine and be beaten\". The ship put in first at Bangkok, and we went ashore. He took me to Annam Lane, where there are brothels. He took me to a house next door to a brothel, where I was shut up for 2 days. On the 19th of the IVth moon, I was taken by Pui Shuk's wife to Singapore by train. When I got to Singapore, I was taken to Fan Tsai Mei to a trafficker's house and sold to a brothel keeper. She said if I told the truth, I should be put in the Po Leung Kuk and never get out. If I said what I was told, I should finish my indentures in 3 years. Otherwise, she would get me into trouble. I said what I had been told to say and was put into a brothel. Later, I found out the truth, and I got a man to write to my mother. The patrons of the brothel are Hainanese, and it was some time before a Cantonese came in, and I got him to write.\n\n5.4.27.\n\nCHAN KAM YUK, 33, states:-(10.8.26).\n\n\"When I was about 17, I went to U.S.A. with my aunt to work as a waitress in San Francisco. A man called Wong recruited me. My aunt got me in as a student...\n\n## \n\nStatement of WONG YUT WA, 24 years:-(12.6.26).\n\n\"A woman called TANG YUK took me to Vancouver. I was then 15. After I got there, she produced Wong Shai Kwan. She told me I must marry him or pay $1,000. In fact, he imported me as his wife and made a declaration to the customs to that effect. There was no ceremony.\n\nLess than a month later, he made me take a post as waitress in a restaurant. I earned $25 gold a week and tips, and with this money, I supported myself as well as Wong Shai Kwan and his wife. My three children are all his\".\n\n## \n\nStatement of WONG SHAI KWAN, 40 years (12.6.26).\n\n\"I have been in Vancouver since I was 17. I made one trip to China to be married and then returned to Vancouver. A little over 6 years ago, TANG YUK brought WONG YUT WA to Vancouver. She was to come in as the wife of a man called LAM, but TANG YUK sent me a wireless to say that some mistake had been made and to ask me to help her out. I had a friend in the customs, and I paid $500 poll tax for her. Then TANG YUK persuaded me to marry her. She cost me in all $1,300, so I thought I would let her earn money for a few years before sending her back to China. She worked as a waitress and later had a post in a fantan house. My principal wife is in China\".\n\n61",

Such disputes have long formed part of the normal routine work of consulates in South China. Reference is usually made to them in the quarterly intelligence reports, but very few are ever reported to His Majesty's Minister in Peking, and, of course, fewer still to the Foreign Office. These cases illustrate the problems and difficulties that arise out of the protection of Anglo-Chinese.\n\n### 1. Case at Amoy, 1851\n\nAt Amoy, in January 1851, there was enacted a tragedy, of which I must recall the principal incidents. A British subject of this class was foully murdered by the authorities, mainly, as I believe, because he claimed to be a British subject.\n\nThe man was himself an inoffensive person of good character, well known to Mr. Crofton Morrison, then stationed at Amoy as interpreter, and at the time referred to he was in the employ of Messrs. Jardine, Mathieson and Co. His elder brother was reputed, and probably with reason, a leading member of one of the affiliated societies, of which Amoy and its vicinity are the home; and the authorities were, I daresay, moved to action against the family in the first instance for this reason. The younger brother was seized early one morning, in or near his home, and carried to the Taotai's yamen. Our consul, Mr. Sullivan, on learning of his arrest, immediately proceeded to the yamen and insisted on his production, but in vain. After some hours of expostulation he returned to the consulate, and almost as he re-entered it a chair was set down at the door containing the corpse of the man he had endeavoured to save. He had been beaten to death in the yamen.\n\nNo redress was ever obtained for this outrage. The case was referred to Lord Palmerston, who replied to the effect that, if they would have the protection of the British Government, they must adopt a costume that would leave their nationality in no doubt.\n\n### 2. Practice at Amoy, 1866\n\nChinese frequently come to this port from the Straits supplied with a paper under the seal of the Resident Counsellor at Singapore, stating (Name of Chinese). An inhabitant of Singapore, Penang or Malacca, as the case may be, proceeds to the ports of China, and is entitled to protection as a British subject. These men present their passes at this office, and have hitherto been registered on the strength of such as British subjects at Amoy. After registering themselves at the consulate office, these so-called British subjects settle in the neighbouring country at a distance from the port among their relations, marry wives and own property, and when in trouble with the country people or authorities they rush to the consulate for protection. This style of thing has led, as you may imagine, to repeated conflicts between the consuls at Amoy and the mandarins, the latter claiming these people as Chinese and beyond foreign jurisdiction.\n\nBut, if they get into trouble and are arrested by the authorities, they flaunt their certificates of registration in the face of the mandarins and send to the nearest consul for assistance. They are registered in the consulate, and the consul feels bound to run up the country, and with a show of naval force demand rendition of the Chinese British subjects. The mandarins come to the conclusion, as there is nothing about Chinese British subjects in the treaty, that the consul has been bribed to be meddlesome in cases beyond his proper jurisdiction, and this tends to weaken his influence and prestige.\n\n### 3. Case of Fan King Sing and Kan Hing Tak, Fuchow, 1872\n\nThese two men had been registered at the British consulate at Fuchow on the strength of certificates granted by the Colonial Government of Singapore, which, however, contained no statement as to the evidence on which their claim to British nationality was based. Frequent disputes occurred with the Chinese authorities, who contested the claim of these persons to be exempted as British merchants from certain li-kin taxes levied upon Chinese. They sent a petition through the consul to the British Minister that an attempt was being made to intimidate their families in Amoy into admissions which might be used to invalidate their claim to British nationality. Sir Thomas Wade immediately requested the vice-admiral, \"without loss of time, to direct a vessel of war to each of the ports in question [Amoy and Foochow], with instructions to the commander to call with the consul upon the chief authority at these ports, and to state that he has been sent at my instance to assure himself of the security of the British subjects in question.\" He then sought an interview with Prince Kung: I told His Highness what passed at Amoy in 1851, and I added, rising as I ended the story, that if a like atrocity were to be again perpetrated upon the person of a British subject it was not to say Fuchow or Amoy, but that I would not answer for the safety of the Empire.\n\nSir Thomas Wade subsequently wrote to the Straits Government for full information respecting the two individuals in question, but no further report of the case reached the Foreign Office.\n\n### 4. Lim Ho Chen and Lim Ho Eng, Shanghai, 1882\n\nThese two men applied to be registered as British subjects at the Colonial Office, British consulate at Shanghai, and presented certificates of nationality issued by the Government of the Straits Settlements. The consul refused to register them because these certificates did not contain evidence that they were entitled under Sir E. Hornby's instructions of the 1st January...",

        "content_text": "In the 25 cases in which the family income was ascertained this was found to average $21.56 per month. In four cases there was no income whatsoever, and in a further eight cases the income was $12.00 per month or under.\n\nThe Committee, while recognising the danger of indiscriminate relief, have felt it necessary to allocate certain funds in order to make provision for relief in urgent cases where there is dire poverty. Relief will be made in kind and no money given.\n\nThe problem of obtaining proper medical attention in cases of tuberculosis which require lengthy institutional treatment is one which presents the greatest difficulty.\n\nSpecimen Cases.\n\nPlaint No. 4.—The child concerned was a girl two days old. The father had three daughters by his first wife and five daughters and two sons by his second wife. Though the father's income was good he neglected to supply adequate money for support of the family and on the birth of this baby quarrelled with the mother and threatened to give away the baby.\n\nThe Inspector visited the family on five occasions and reasoned with and advised the father.\n\nThe parents are now reconciled and the child is thriving.\n\nPlaint No. 6.—A five year old girl was found to be suffering from disease in both eyes.\n\nThe father was out of employment and the mother, who was a carrying coolie, was too busy to take the child to hospital.\n\nThe Inspector persuaded the father to take the child to hospital, accompanying him on two occasions, and after a month's medical treatment the condition of the child's eyes is much improved.\n\nPlaint No. 9.—This plaint concerned a boy baby aged nearly two years.\n\nThe child was suffering from malnutrition owing to improper methods of feeding.\n\nThe Inspector advised the mother and secured the provision of suitable diet and the child is now putting on weight.\n\n(Plaint No. 12 dealt with a similar case with a younger child with like results).\n\nPlaint Nos. 13, 14, 15 and 16.—All these plaints concerned children who were suffering from trachoma or other diseases of the eye, and who had received medical treatment.\n\nIn all these cases both parents were employed for long hours and pleaded inability to find time to take the children to hospital, and in all cases the Inspector took the children to hospital and secured treatment for them. The cases will be supervised and continued treatment ensured.\n\nPlaint No. 2. A girl aged 13 is suffering from tubercular disease of the hip and spine.\n\nThe Inspector secured her examination by Professor Digby who states that she requires at least three years' treatment in a sanitorium for surgical tuberculosis.\n\nThe requisite period cannot be spent in the Government Civil Hospital owing to lack of accommodation.\n\nEfforts are being made to secure proper treatment and in the meantime the Inspector is supervising the case and trying to keep home conditions satisfactory.\n\nVice-Presidents.\n\nThe Hon.

Chinese Classon in the Faculty of Arts.\n\nsity; that when this special committee had formulated its recommendations a committee would be appointed by the Council to advise that body on the adjustment of the recommendations of the Special Committee with those submitted by the Boards of the Faculties and the Senate; but that before giving effect to any of the recommendations thus arrived at, the whole scheme for spending the balance would be referred by the Council to the Court. The Court then proceeded to appoint the special committee the personnel of which is set out in paragraph above and referred to it the terms of reference quoted in paragraph 2 of this Report.\n\n26. His Excellency has been quoted in paragraph 25 above as having said to the Court that before giving effect to any of the recommendations of the Committee the whole scheme for spending the balance would be referred by the Council to the Court. This same meeting on the 1st June, 1931, was concluded by the agreement of the Court that provision should be made in the Faculty of Medicine for the immediate appointment of certain part-time lecturers at a cost of $3,000 a year.\n\nVI. The Working of the School of Chinese Studies and the teaching of Chinese in the Faculty of Arts.\n\n27. In May 1931 the Dean of the Faculty of Arts reviewed the teaching of Chinese, as it then was, both in the Faculty of Arts and in the School of Chinese Studies. We have seen this review and feel that it is worth reproducing.\n\n28. The Dean starts by pointing out that, though the special object of his report is to give a detailed review of the School of Chinese Studies as it then was, he has added an outline of the Chinese Classes in the Faculty of Arts, \"since it would appear that this side of the Chinese Department would necessarily have to be considered as a possible means of absorbing the students of the School of Chinese Studies should the School cease to function.\"\n\n29. The undergraduates attending these classes have all matriculated. Their curriculum is one of western studies taught through the medium of English but including some Chinese studies, the medium of instruction in these studies being Cantonese. The Chinese courses which can be taken comprise classics, history, literature and translation. The Groups of Study which allow of Chinese subjects being taken and the possible number of years of study of Chinese in each of these Groups are as stated below:-\n\nGroup I (Letters & Philosophy). Chinese may be taken for four years in this Group and hence may be offered as a subject in Part II of the final examination for the B.A. degree.\n\nGroups III & V (Social Science & Commerce). Chinese may be taken for two years and offered as a subject in the Intermediate Part II Examination.\n\nGroup IV-C (Teachers of General Subjects), Chinese may be taken for three years and offered as a subject in Part I of the final examination,\n\n30. The table of the Degree examination results for 1930 and 1931 and of the Midsessional Examination results for 1931 as reproduced on page 7, shows to what extent these Chinese courses are favoured.\n\n31. Only eleven students of the First Year and four of the second year took Chinese in the Intermediate degree examinations, 1931, out of a total of ninety-seven internal students of the Faculty of Arts who appeared at the examinations. Of the twenty-eight students who are now starting on their University course in the Faculty of Arts eleven are taking Chinese. The second year of the Faculty as it has just been reconstituted consists of twenty-six students of whom seven are taking Chinese. There is no student in the 3rd or 4th year of the Arts Faculty who is taking Chinese. Therefore out of 101 students now in the Faculty eighteen only are taking Chinese.\n\n  \n    DEGREE EXAM.\n    Nov. 1930.\n    NUMBER\n    MIDSESSIONAL EXAM.\n    MAY 1931.\n    NUMBER\n    Nov. 1931.\n    NUMBER\n  \n  \n    \n    Entered\n    Passed\n    Entered\n    Passed\n    Entered\n    Passed\n  \n  \n    GROUP I.\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    1st Year\n    1\n    1\n    \n    \n    3\n    2\n  \n  \n    2nd\n    1\n    1\n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    3rd\n    \"\"\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    4th\n    \n    1\n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    GROUP III.\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    1st Year\n    \n    \n    1\n    1\n    1\n    1\n  \n  \n    2nd\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    2\n    2\n  \n  \n    GROUP IVC.\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    1st Year\n    7\n    5\n    3\n    3\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    2nd\n    3\n    3\n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    3rd\n    1\n    1\n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    GROUP V.\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    1st Year\n    \n    \n    1\n    1\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    2nd\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n\n32. The Chinese courses in the Faculty of Arts are controlled by the Board of that Faculty, of which Board the Chinese staff are members. The Chinese staff of the Faculty of Arts is at present Dr. Lai Chi Hsi, Reader in Chinese History, Dr. Au Tai Tin, Reader in Chinese Literature, Mr. Lam Tung, Chinese Translator.\n\n33. The circumstances which led up to the opening of the School of Chinese Studies have been described in paragraphs 18—20 above. The School was actually started in January 1929.\n\n34. The standard of admission to the School of Chinese Studies is the Final Examination of the Government Vernacular Middle School to which examination students who have not been educated at the school are also admitted. This examination demands a higher degree of Chinese knowledge than is demanded by the Matriculation Examination but the scope and standard required in English, Mathematics and any other subjects which may be offered in accordance with the regulations of the examination are those of the Junior Local Examination.\n\n35. The students of the School of Chinese Studies not having matriculated are excluded by the University Ordinance from the category of \"undergraduates.\" They are therefore not members of the University. They cannot claim accommodation in either the University or attached hostels. They can become \"associate members\" of the University Union but not full members, which means that they cannot hold office in the Union. The students of the school are not reading for a University degree, but it is understood that those who complete the four years' course of the school successfully will receive diplomas.\n\n36. The staff of the School consists at the moment of Dr. Lai Chi Hsi, Dr. Au Tai Tin, Mr. Lam Tung, B.A., Dr. Chu Yu Chun, Mrs. G. H. Forster, B.A. and Mr. Lo Hei Tong, a part-time lecturer.\n\n37. The administration of the School is conducted by a committee which was appointed by the Senate and consists of the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. A. E. Wood, the Professor of English, Father D. MacDonald, S.J., the Chinese Staff of the School and the Registrar with the Dean of the Faculty of Arts as Chairman. The Dean emphasized in his previous reports the undesirability of this arrangement, In the report submitted in May 1931 he writes:-\n\n356\n\nThe School of Chinese Studios.",

        "content_text": "357\n\nThe Students' work.\n\nThe admission of non-metriculated students to be discontinued.\n\nA less exacting matriculation standard in mathematics.\n\n\"The underlying idea in having the Committee of the School of Chinese Studies a sub-committee of the Board of the Faculty of Arts is presumably to ensure co-ordination between all Chinese courses in the University. Even if this were obtained, the method of doing it is a decidedly round-about one, but actually there is no certainty that co-ordination of all the courses is obtained. On the Board of the Faculty of Arts as at present constituted there is no one who can have any decided opinion on the teaching of Chinese other than the Chinese teachers themselves.\"\n\n38. The School opened in January 1929 with six students. In January 1930 three new students joined and in January 1931 six new students entered the first year class. Of this number seven have withdrawn and there are now ten students in the Chinese School, the distribution being as follows:—\n\n  \n    4th year\n    3rd\n    2nd\n    1st\n    Total\n  \n  \n    2\n    3\n    3\n    2\n    10\n  \n\nOf the two students in the first year, one is a new student and the other is a student who failed at the annual examination and is repeating the course. Thus six teachers are employed in the School of Chinese Studies to teach ten students, but of these six teachers four are also lecturing in the Faculty of Arts.\n\nVII The Test qualifying for admission to Chinese Studies.\n\n39. The Chinese School having failed to fulfil the expectations of its founders, the first question with which this Committee found itself confronted was whether the University should continue to differentiate as between Chinese and the other courses of study which it provides and to teach the former to students who had not matriculated. The members of the Committee generally were impressed by a statement which Mr. Lam Tung, who has taught in the School of Chinese Studies since its inception, recorded in a memorandum which was circulated among them. The statement was to the effect that in Mr. Lam Tung's opinion the attempt to teach Chinese Studies to students who had not passed the University Matriculation examination and were therefore not qualified to study for a degree was fore-doomed to failure. The Committee was also struck by the unanimity on this point shown by the witnesses who appeared before it. The Committee is in fact unanimous in the view that the University's present practice of providing specialised Chinese and English courses to students who have not passed the Matriculation Examination should be discontinued and that henceforth such Chinese teaching as the University may be in a position to provide should be included in the University's normal curriculum and be taught to such internal students only as may be deemed in accordance with the regulations to have qualified for admission to the degree courses of the University. The Committee is also of opinion that if the teaching of Chinese in the University were confined to a Chinese School the students of which are not, and cannot be, members of the University, the obligation to make adequate provision in the Arts Faculty for the teaching of Chinese Language and Literature which Section 13 (1) of the University Ordinance imposes on the University would not be satisfied.\n\n40. Under the University Regulations as they now stand, a candidate for admission to the Faculties of Engineering and Arts must satisfy the examiners in English and Mathematics and in three other subjects taken from a prescribed list. A Chinese candidate (unless he or she be exempted by the Senate) is required as a condition of passing the admission test to either of these Faculties to satisfy the examiners in Chinese Language and Literature. The requirements under this head, as they stand at present, are shown on page 46 of the University Calendar for 1931, but the Education Department has recently revised the Chinese curriculum which is followed in Government schools. The Senate of the University have revised their syllabuses in Chinese for the Local and Matriculation examinations so as to bring those syllabuses into line with the curriculum of instruction followed in Government schools. Copies of these revised syllabuses are attached.\n\n41. It was suggested to the Committee that a candidate whose intention it is to study Chinese throughout his course in the Arts Faculty and to offer Chinese as one of the subjects for his degree in such a group of studies as we suggest below—a group in which Chinese is throughout the course a substantial factor—might be allowed to qualify in the mathematical branch of the Matriculation examination by a less exacting standard than would ordinarily be demanded, provided that such a candidate satisfied the examiners in an additional paper in Chinese, the additional paper being of a higher standard than the papers in Chinese language and literature which all Chinese candidates for matriculation are required to pass. The Committee commends this proposal to the consideration of the University authorities concerned but desires to make it clear that its intention is that those who may pass the Matriculation Examination on the less exacting standard of mathematics now suggested should not be permitted to take up any University course, whether in the Arts Faculty or any other Faculty (including those existing groups of studies in the Faculty of Arts in which Chinese may be taken as an alternative subject) which does not provide for the continuous study of Chinese as one of its integral and obligatory factors. It is also the Committee's intention that a candidate who passes the normal Matriculation Examination shall not be debarred from taking the special courses above referred to.\n\n42. It has been suggested to the Committee that the scope of the University's influence as a potential centre of Chinese learning might be enlarged, without prejudice to the standard or range of its degree, if not only those who had not passed the matriculation but also those, who, whether they have qualified by the matriculation test or not, wish to make a special study of Chinese, could be allowed to attend the Chinese courses as external students. The Committee understands that there would be no difficulty about this, provided always that the person seeking admission as an external student were able to satisfy the Board of the Faculty of Arts and the Senate of his ability to follow intelligently the course or courses on which he desires to enter.\n\n43. The obligation on the Chinese candidate for admission into any one of the University's Faculties to satisfy the examiners in Chinese Language and Literature came up before the Committee and it was pointed out that whereas the non-Chinese candidate could secure admission into the Faculties of Engineering and Arts without passing in any language other than English, the Chinese candidate for admission to either of these Faculties had to pass in Chinese Language and Literature in addition to English. The Committee understands that in point of fact the Senate grants exemption from this obligation to those Chinese candidates, whether educated in Malaya or elsewhere, who have not had an opportunity of being taught Chinese language and literature in the schools in which they have been educated.\n\n44. It was suggested that this was a handicap on the Chinese, especially on those educated in the Government Anglo-Chinese Schools in Hong Kong, from which applications for exemption from the Chinese language and literature test were practically never submitted.\n\n45. The majority of the Chinese members of the Committee feel strongly that it would be a mistake for the University to relax this obligation. The Committee has therefore decided not to put forward any recommendation dealing with this matter which lies strictly outside the scope of its reference. The Committee notes that the Education Department has recently prescribed for use in the higher classes of Government Anglo-Chinese schools a simpler and less comprehensive syllabus of Chinese and that the University has modified accordingly its matriculation syllabus in Chinese Language and Literature.\n\n46. It seems desirable to record here some mention of the Chinese medium of instruction. The Chinese used in the schools of Hong Kong is Cantonese. The Government of China is now attempting to make Kwok Yu—a modified form of Mandarin—the national language of China and with this end in view is trying to insist that Kwok Yu shall be used in all schools and universities in China. The Committee was told that the attempt to make Kwok Yu the language of schools and universities in Canton had met with only moderate success and that so far as the schools of the Colony of Hong Kong are concerned it would be impracticable for many years to substitute Kwok Yu for Cantonese. The substitution would have to be effected gradually, and in the upper classes to start with. The Committee expressed the hope that the Government of Hong Kong will take such steps as will encourage the study of Kwok Yu in the educational institutions of Hong Kong. Moreover, ability on the part of vernacular teachers...\n\nThe admission of external students to the Chinese Courses of the Faculty of Arts.\n\nThe obligation on the Chinese candidate for matriculation to pass in Chinese Language and Literature.\n\nCantonese or Kwok Yu?\n\n358\n\n8",

It is stated that the Chinese people who have their homes in these mountains are suffering miserably in consequence.\n\nGeneral Yu Hsueh-tsung has dispatched representatives to Tatung to welcome Marshal Wu Pei-fu.

        "content_text": "# Statement of Mr. Lai Shun Yu.\n\n124\n\nMr. C. Brack was introduced to me on the 8th or 9th May by Mr. F.L. Lam of the Yu Hing Bank, of 60 Wing Lok Street (1st floor). The proprietor of this bank is Mr. Lam Kwai Bang, manager of Cheong Kee, money changers, of Des Voeux Road C.\n\nMr. F.L. Lam told me that Mr. Brack was a well-known Australian merchant, and asked me to dine with the two of them in the President Cafe. I accepted the invitation.\n\nAfter dinner, Mr. Brack took Mr. F.L.

This consignment was already packed in Australia, ready for shipment, and would be despatched here immediately on his making the bargain with the Chinese Authorities. He also stated that he had brought samples with him, and that these samples were in the care of the Hong Kong Police.\n\nHe further showed me letters from the Commonwealth Government, his passport, and a document which authorised him to draw money from the Bank. He did not, on this occasion, ask me to do anything for him.\n\nThe following day I met Mr. Lam Kwai Bang and asked him about Mr. Brack, as I thought the story was rather suspicious. He told me that he had himself made enquiries from the Chartered Bank, and Mr. Brack really was a substantial merchant. He added that he had taken Mr. Brack to see Mr. Ho Kwong, who had promised to get in touch with some Chinese officials.\n\nMr. Lam Kwai Bang then asked me whether I knew any high officials in Canton. I replied in the negative, but mentioned...",

        "content_text": "# LOV\n## 37\n\nThe government made a reality. The only way to save China from poverty is economic reconstruction. As regards economic elements, there is nothing beyond capital and labour. The essential requirement is co-operation between the Government and the people. Co-operation progresses by steps. First, it is necessary to have economic concatenations. By concatenation is meant the concentration of resources and useful men and the linking up of economy connections. The vital point lies with the reputable leaders of the Community and their efforts to start and work, and with the Government in its duty to afford protection. I can say for certain that with mutual assistance and co-operation, there is nothing which cannot be done.\n\nWe know very well that the prosperity of Hongkong and Canton is really interdependent. You, Gentlemen, and Dr. Kotewall are distinguished men of Hongkong. You have taken keen interest and led others in economic enterprises, thereby eliciting the admiration of the community and the respect of the Government. It gives me great pleasure to be with all of you here today. It is my earnest hope that you will, with the same spirit as you have done in the past, take a lead in the economic developments of Kwangtung. It is my hope too that other gentlemen in China will, on hearing of such news, rise and help to carry out the national economic scheme for saving the country from poverty.\n\n## Mayor's Reply\n\nDuring my present visit to Hongkong with Chairman Huang, I have been given the warmest welcome and finest entertainment by Hongkong Government and fellow-countrymen. I and our cannot express how much I am indebted to them. You have again today entertained me at a lunch party and I fully enjoy your princely hospitality. You have also spoken kindly of me. I am so touched that I can find no words to express my thanks. I hope the people of Hongkong and Canton will remain in the friendliest terms and spare no efforts in working for the prosperity of the two cities and reviving the trade of both places, so that commerce and industry may flourish and the people be enriched. When this is achieved, we should have a grand fete to celebrate our success, and I shall take the opportunity to be your host and invite you all to honour me with your presence.\n\nI believe that my hope will be realized in the very near future. I now ask you all to drink together with me and I wish you health.\n\n## The Hosts\n\nThe hosts were: Mr. R. H. Kotewall, Dr. S. W. Tso, Messrs. T. N. Chau, M. K. Lo, Sir Shouson Chow, Sir Robert Ho Tung, Dr. S. N. Chau, Messrs. Shou J. Chen, Ho Kom-tong, Kan Tong-po, Dr. Li Shu-fan, Messrs. Li Sing-kui, Li To-nam, Li Yau-tsun, Lo Wing-kit, W. N. T. Tam, B. Wong Tape, J. M. Wong.\n\n## CHINESE CHAMBER Give Tea Party in Honour Of Canton Officials\n\n### CORDIALITY PREVAILS\n\nIn honour of the visit here of His Excellency the Kwangtung Provincial Chairman, General Huang Mu-sung, and H. H. the Mayor of Canton, Mr. Tseng Yang-fu, the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce gave a tea party reception in the Chamber's hall yesterday afternoon. The Canton Governor and Mayor arrived together with His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton, Mr. H. Phillips, and Chinese Unofficial members of the Legislative Council.\n\nAt the entrance of the Chamber, the eminent visitors were welcomed by Mr. Li Sing-kui and other members.\n\nThree bows to the Chinese national flag and the portrait of the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen marked the commencement of the proceedings. The will of the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen was read by the Chamber's Secretary, Mr. H. Y. Tso. All the hosts then bowed ceremoniously to the Canton Governor and Mayor, who bowed in acknowledgment.\n\nThe Chinese national anthem was played by the band of the Chung Sing Benevolent Society.\n\nThroughout the reception, the most cordial and happy spirit prevailed. The Canton Governor and Mayor, who of course made their speeches in Cantonese, stressed the importance of promoting better relations between Hongkong and Canton, which sentiments were loudly applauded.\n\nWhen General Huang remarked that relations between Great Britain and China were improving every day, and the relations between Hongkong and Canton had been brought much closer through the able services of His Majesty's Consul-General, Mr. Phillips, he received applause from the gathering.\n\nAfter the speeches, the Canton Governor stayed for some time exchanging views with the merchants, and conversed freely with Mr. Li Sing-kui, Mr. Wong Tape, and others.\n\nThe visit attracted great Chinese interest as the national flag was flown everywhere in town. A crowd of many hundreds lined the Praya outside the Chamber to see the arrival of the Canton officials.\n\nThose present were: His Excellency General Huang Mu-sung (Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government), H. H. Mr. Tseng Yang-fu (Mayor of Canton), Mr. Herbert Phillips, C.M.G., O.B.E., (British Consul-General, Canton), Colonel Li Fong (Secretary of the Municipal Government of Canton), Mr. Chang Yuen-nan, the Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall, Hon. Mr. S. W. Tso, Hon. Mr. T. N. Chau, Mr. Li Sing-kui, Mr. J. M. Wong, Mr. Tai Tak-fu (Chinese Invoice Officer of Hongkong), Mr. Li Yau-tsun, C.B.E., Mr. Ho Kom-tong, Mr. Fung Heung-chuen, Mr. Chan Pak-shuen, Mr. Li Chi-chung, Mr. Chan Kam-po, Dr. Li Shu-fan, Mr. Kong Chi-ying, Mr. Ho Chap-ping, Mr. Chow Din-pong, Mr. Chan Yuk-chim, Mr. Li Lu-chao, Mr. Chin Shu-fan, Mr. Lau Kok-ho, Mr. Chung Ping-fung, Mr. Wan Man-hing, Mr. Yao Pek-lung (Director of the Canton Navigation Bureau), Mr. Tong Ying-hua (Director of the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company), Mr. W. J. Wen, Mr. Lo Ying-yu, Mr. Shen Hsiao-chin, Mr. Lam Fong-pak, Mr. Tsam Shiu-sum, Mr. Tang Chung-put, General Chen Kee-yau, Mr. Choi Cheong, Mr. Chan Chung-pik, Mr. Au Yeung-kee, Mr. Chan Kwong-chung, Mr. Lam Po-tin, Mr. Wong Cheuk-nam, Mr. Tse Tsun-on, Mr. Tai An-kay, Mr. Tang Shiu-kin, Mr. Philip Gockchin, Mr. Jackman To, Mr. Kwok Chan, Mr. Ip Lan-cauen, Mr. W. N. Thomas Tam, Mr. Lo Wing-kit, Mr. Peter Sin, Mr. Ho Leung, Dr. F. I. Tseung, Mr. Ngan Shing-kwan, Mr. Wong Tape, Mr. Yung Chi-ming, Mr. Yung Koon-man, Mr. Kwan Shu-chung, Mr. Li Po-kwai, Mr. Li Jor-shan, Mr. Lau Yak-wan, Mr. Lau King-tsing, Mr. Fung Kee-cheuk, Mr. Lam Chi-fung, Mr. Fung Ping-fan, and many others.\n\n## Trade Relations\n\nSpeaking in Chinese, the Chairman of the Chamber, Mr. Li Sing-kui, said: \"In extending our most sincere welcome to His Excellency General Huang Mu-sung and Mr. H. Phillips and all the distinguished guests here today, we feel that we have been greatly honoured by the presence of such an eminent assembly. We, as the overseas Chinese merchants in Hongkong, have paid the keenest attention to the welfare of China. Therefore, we have been looking forward a long time for an opportunity to meet and hear the views of leaders of the Chinese Government. Such an opportunity is rare.\n\n\"It is a gratifying factor that relations between Canton and Hongkong have been very close. Many of our guests today are leaders in various businesses in Canton. In the past, the Canton merchants have given the Chinese merchants in Hongkong the most helpful co-operation in the international trade promoting. Such mutual co-operation we have always greatly appreciated. It is, indeed, unnecessary to say that all the time the Canton merchants have tried their very best, striving for new developments and wider fields for promotion of foreign trade. Therefore, we hope that the happy function today will leave a good impression on their mind of our desire for friendship.\n\n\"On the other hand, we are equally assured that in his political readjustment programme for Kwangtung, General Huang Mu-sung will pay full attention to the livelihood and welfare of the overseas Chinese, to whom it is hoped that he will continue to render his most valuable advice and help from time to time.\n\n\"In conclusion, on behalf of all members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, I reiterate our hearty welcome and wish His Excellency General Huang Mu-sung good health and prosperity.\"\n\nThe Vice-Chairman of the Chamber, Mr. J. M. Wong, also made a brief speech of welcome.\n\n## Address by Canton Governor\n\nSpeaking from his own experience as a traveller who has visited all parts of the world with the exception of South America and Australia, General Huang Mu-sung said that he was delighted to see that wherever he went, there was a Chinese Chamber of Commerce. To enter a Chinese Chamber of Commerce abroad was like returning to one's home in China. For the past few years, he had travelled a good deal and visited many Chinese Chambers of Commerce abroad. He hoped that the Hongkong Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Canton Chamber of Commerce would co-operate to bring about the much-desired trade prosperity for both cities.\n\nAs an official of the Government, he also believed that there should be permanent co-operation between the Government and the people in all matters. The Canton Government was not only willing to co-operate with its people but would endeavour its very best to afford protection and help to overseas Chinese.\n\nIn his conversations with the Hon. Mr. Kotewall, he had been told that Kwangtung was like the body of a man and Hongkong its throat. The two organs were so closely connected commercially and economically that they could not be separated.\n\n\"Relations between Great Britain and China are improving day by day, while Hongkong and Canton have been brought much closer by His Majesty's Consul-General, Mr. Phillips, and others.\" (Applause)",

        "content_text": "## In conclusion the General apologised for not being able to visit personally more Chinese merchants to get their views. He took the opportunity of saying good-bye to the merchants, hoping that one day they could visit him in Canton, where they could have more time to exchange views. He thanked the Chamber and all its members for the excellent entertainment.\n\n## Aeroplane Donors Thanked\n\nIn a speech the Mayor, Mr. Tseng Yang-fu, said that for many years he had been away from Canton serving the Central Government in Nanking. For this reason he had little chance of visiting Hongkong, and to meet such a distinguished gathering of the Chinese business leaders was a great pleasure to him.\n\n\"As explained by General Huang just now,\" said the Mayor, “to pay an official call on His Excellency the Governor, Sir Andrew Caldecott, is the first reason of the visit of the Canton officials, while secondly the officials also want to meet the overseas Chinese here.\n\n\"On behalf of the National Government I wish to thank all Chinese in Hongkong for their generous donation and unselfishness in contributing half a million dollars for the aeroplane fund in connection with Marshal Chiang Kai-shek's birthday. Such a good spirit is comparable to that of even the most patriotic peoples of the European and American countries to-day.\n\n\"Although Hongkong and Canton are on a different footing, actually the closest of relations exist between the two cities. If we can bring prosperity to both, the people in the two places will be directly benefited. For this reason there is every necessity for commercial and economic co-operation between Canton and Hongkong.\n\n\"As most of the Chinese residents in Hongkong are Cantonese, Canton serves as a backbone to them. Consequently a bad Government in Canton will not only disappoint the Cantonese in Hongkong but will have other detrimental effects on this Colony as a whole. The present Government in Canton is determined to carry out its readjustment programme to the fullest extent, so that prosperity will be brought not only to Canton but to both cities. If any future opportunity should arise, the Canton Municipal Government will be most willing to receive any constructive advice which may be given by the Hongkong Chinese.\"\n\n## Other Chinese Receptions\n\nAt the Hotel Cecil at nine o'clock yesterday morning representatives of 280 local Chinese organisations, including trade and labour associations and schools, gave a reception in honour of the visiting Canton officials. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Tang Chi-ching, who delivered the speech of welcome on behalf of the 280 organisations of Hongkong and Kowloon. The Chairman stressed the point that in cementing better relations between Hongkong and Canton they would increase the prosperity of the two leading cities of South China.\n\nAnother speech was made by Mr. Li Sing-kui (Chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce).\n\nThe happy function came to a conclusion after General Huang Mu-sung had replied thanking the hosts for their excellent entertainment.\n\n## A Cordial Welcome\n\nLater in the morning, at 11 o'clock, another Chinese reception, given by a number of local commercial, educational, medical, religious and sports associations, was held in the Kam Ling Restaurant, at West Point. The reception was presided over by Mr. Ip Hau-chuen.\n\nAt this reception General Huang Mu-sung said that the Chinese Government was determined to push on with the new life movement in Kwangtung, as shown by the rigid suppression of gambling, opium smoking and the miscellaneous and unpopular taxes. This would relieve the financial burden of the people and would permit them to proceed with the rehabilitation work. In short, it was the hope of the Canton Government to push ahead the reorganisation of Kwangtung, making the province a model province of China. He said that there was great hope for a speedy recovery if the overseas Chinese continued to give support to the Government whenever they could.\n\nThe Mayor of Canton, Mr. Tseng Yang-fu, said that he was greatly impressed by the enthusiasm shown in the many entertainments which had been given in their honour.\n\n## TRADE DELEGATION\n\n### Big Party of Businessmen Arrive from Canton\n\nBusiness men of Hongkong and Canton were enabled to fraternise at length when, in connection with the goodwill visit of His Excellency the Provincial Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, and the Mayor of Canton, a party of Chinese business and financial representatives arrived from Canton yesterday morning.\n\nThe visitors were headed by Mr. Ho Tsap-ping, (Chairman, Kwangtung Provincial Chamber of Commerce), and included: Mr. Chow Dien-pong, (Chairman, Canton Chamber of Commerce), Mr. Chen Yu-chien, (Chairman, Canton Bankers Association), Mr. Li Lu-chao, (Director, Canton-Kowloon Railway), Dr. Chien Shu-fan (Lawyer), Mr. Kiang Ying-chi, (Manager, Canton Municipal Bank), Mr. Loo Im-min, (Manager, China State Bank, Canton), Mr. Chan Lim-chung, (Chinese Manager, Hongkong & Shanghai Bank, Canton), Mr. Tsai Chang, Manager, (Sun Company), Mr. Chung Ping-fung, (Manager, General Bank), Mr. W. J. Wen, (Manager, Bank of Communications), Mr. Yiu Pak-loong, (Director, Department of Navigation), Mr. Tang Ying-wa, (Manager, China Merchants Steam Navigation Co.), Mr. Lo Ting-yu, (Director, Weaving Factory), Mr. Shen Tsiao-chiu, (Secretary General, K.T. Provincial Kwokmantang Headquarters), Mr. Wilfred Ling, (Municipal Government Planning Committee).\n\nThe party was received in the Jacobean Room of the Hongkong Hotel by members of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, and light refreshments were served while introductions were exchanged.\n\n| Name | Affiliation |\n| --- | --- |\n| The Hon.

        "content_text": "## A Visit to Canton\n\nA visit was also made to Yellow Flower Hill to view the Memorial in honour of the famous \"72 Heroes,\" and here Sir Andrew Caldecott laid a beautiful wreath to their memory.\n\n\"My wife and I have returned from Canton with the memories of two of the most wonderfully happy days in our lives. It was our extreme good fortune that on our first introduction to China we were able to pay our respects personally to the Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, and our only regret was that the latter's indisposition necessitated her leaving Canton for Kuling yesterday. We are looking forward to hearing that the change of climate has resulted in her complete recuperation.\n\n\"Words fail me to describe the warmth and friendliness with which we were received and the excellence of the arrangements made for us. I was particularly struck by the smartness of the Guards of Honour and the efficiency of the police arrangements. We were very sad that owing to the attack of fever we were unable to make the same personal contact with him as we so much enjoyed making with Their Excellencies the Chairman of the Provincial Government and the Pacification Commissioner. The Mayor's Secretary was indefatigable in his kind services to us and in showing us round. We have come away deeply impressed by the progress of urban development and by those marvels of modern Chinese architecture, the Sun Yat-sen University and the Memorial Hall, which was greatly admired.\n\nAt 12:30 p.m. Sir Andrew, Mr. Herbert Phillips, H.M. Consul-General, Mr. W.F. Gibbs, H.M. Consul, Captain A.R. Halfhide, R.S., and Captain W.J.A. Cragg, A.D.C., proceeded to the Municipal Administration Building to lunch with General Huang Mu-sung, Chairman of the Provincial Government, General Yu Han-mow, Pacification Commissioner, and Mr. Tseng Yang-fu, Mayor of Canton. The latter, being unfortunately ill, was represented by Colonel Li Fong. Here a Guard of Honour and a band was also provided.\n\n## INFORMAL DINNER\n\nAt 8 p.m. on Friday an informal dinner was given by Mr. Herbert Phillips in honour of His Excellency the Generalissimo and Sir Andrew and Lady Caldecott. This was the first time that the Generalissimo had visited Shamian. A party of 18 included the Chairman of the Provincial Government, General Huang Mu-sung, and General Yu Han-mow, Pacification Commissioner, Colonel Li Fong (deputising for the Mayor), Dr. Wang Chung-hui, General Chien Ta-chun, Mr. T.L. Sung, and other officials. Madame Chiang was unable to attend as she had left by air for Kuling that morning.\n\nA Guard of Honour of Indian police was drawn up at the Pier on the arrival of the Generalissimo. At the Consulate-General a naval Guard from H.M.S. `Tarantula` was mounted.\n\nAfter a most successful informal visit Sir Andrew and Lady Caldecott returned to Hong Kong by the 8:15 a.m. train yesterday.\n\nOn arriving in Hong Kong yesterday morning H.E. the Governor and Lady Caldecott were met by Press representatives and stayed for a few moments to inspect a railway coach which has been converted into an observation car, charmingly furnished. Mr. R.D. Walker, manager of the Kowloon Section, and Mr. J. Smith, mechanical engineer, showed the visitors the details of the coach.\n\n## HIS EXCELLENCY'S MESSAGE\n\nTo the Press representatives Sir Andrew Caldecott gave the following message in response to their enquiries as to his impressions of this visit to Canton.\n\nA great crowd at the Station gave the Governor and Lady Caldecott an enthusiastic \"welcome back\" as they left by launch for Hong Kong.",

        "content_text": "# THE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS & CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n## October 29, 1937\n\n### COOLIES REFUSE TO WORK LOCAL SHIP\n\nBelieved Cargo Was For Japan\n\nUnder the impression that the cargo they were loading was intended to be shipped to Japan, over 60 coolies refused to work the ss. Hai Tan. The cargo comprised tanks of kerosene and petrol which were to be shipped to Swatow, Foochow, and Amoy.\n\nIt was learned that the Texas Oil Co. installation had engaged 120 coolies to load onto the Hai Tan. A commotion was caused among the 60 coolies who turned up when it was alleged that someone had informed them that the cargoes were meant for Japan. On hearing the rumor, the coolies immediately stopped work.\n\nAnother incident of a similar nature took place on Oct. 22 at Connaught Road West on a junk where a number of coolies were unloading wolfram ore to be stored in a godown. It was alleged that the ore was to be sent to Japan.\n\n### GOVERNOR'S OFFICIAL VISIT TO MACAO\n\nHis Excellency the officer Administering the Government, Mr. N. L. Smith, C.M.G., accompanied by his A.D.C., Capt. G. P. Rickcord, and private secretary, Mr. H. J. Cruttwell, paid an official visit to Macao on October 22.\n\nThey left shortly before 8 a.m. yesterday by the H.M.S. Falmouth, the Admiral's Yacht, and were seen off by the Portuguese Consul-General, Signor Alvaro Brilhante Laborinho, at Queen's Pier.\n\nIn Macao, they had luncheon at Government House with the Governor of Macao. After taking a motor drive around the Portuguese Colony, they left for Hong Kong by the Falmouth, arriving here at 7 p.m. in the evening.\n\nThe visit had no political significance and was suggested several months ago and approved by the Secretary of State for the Colonies. Its postponement had been due to the situation in China but, as no such visit had been paid since 1933, the Secretary of State was anxious that this courtesy should, if possible, not await the arrival of Sir Geoffry Northcote, the Governor-Designate of Hong Kong.\n\n### Trade Barriers\n\nTrade barriers were touched upon at the half-yearly meeting of the Penang Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Jules Martin, who invariably takes an active share in the discussions at the meetings of the Chamber, followed his usual course on this occasion and made a sound contribution to the proceedings, comments the \"Malaya Tribune.\" With his plea for freer trade and the abolition of all tariff barriers, he is assured of ample sympathy, for there can be no doubt whatever that most of the ills to which the world is heir today can be laid at the door of economic self-sufficiency. It has acted as a garrote on world trade and gained in strength so much that Great Britain, the apostle of free trade, was herself forced to resort to tariffs for her own protection. That did not make matters in the wider aspect any better. But it cannot be concluded that Great Britain, in taking the action she did, was actuated by any motive other than self-preservation. As regards Mr. Martin's remarks, he was thinking of world trade and the stranglehold which economic nationalism has succeeded in locking upon it. There are already signs that the economic nationalists have discovered the vital flaw in their theory, and there is a growing disposition to look upon free trade with a less prejudiced eye. But why consider world conditions when there are equally absurd conditions prevailing nearer home? There are the customs barriers in the Federated Malay States. Why not establish free trade on the mainland? It would be an excellent example to set the rest of the world.\n\n### A White Elephant\n\nOne of Malaya's white elephants, Prai, had its periodical outing last week at the half-yearly meeting of the Penang Chamber of Commerce. The pachyderm was trotted out for inspection by the chairman, Mr. T. C. Martine, and, after a not too favorable eye had been cast over its points, it was trotted back again. It will be recalled that the General Manager of the Federated Malay States Railways, in his annual report for 1936, contradicted the assertion that the port of Prai was a white elephant. In one respect, he was right. The port will never be entirely useless but it will never be the port that its creators dreamed it would be. It will never be a deep-water port for ocean-going steamers. Mr. Martine subscribed to that view.\n\nHe did not propose to re-open a rather weather-beaten controversy as to the advantages of port development on the mainland, but he did consider that the bulk of cargo at Prai or Penang must always be handled by lighters, and any new improvement scheme should be designed with that idea to the fore. So there we have it. Prai is an excellent lighterage port and nothing more. In effect, it is still a white elephant but not so white as some of its traducers try to make out. When the amount of money that has been sunk in that estuary in an endeavor to justify the opinions of those who believed in Prai as a deep-water port is recalled, it is something to be thankful for that the future of the port is assured, not on the grandiose lines originally visualized for it, but on a real utility basis. The only thing that rankles is that all this was seen and appreciated by not a few before the Prai wharves had got no further than plans on paper. As an offset to the irksome reminder of the many millions spent on its construction, there is always the consolation that Prai will eventually pay for its keep.\n\n### Welcome, Malaya\n\nThe decision of the Malayan Governments to book 5,000 square feet in the Colonial Pavilion of the Empire Exhibition, to be held in Glasgow next year, has afforded much satisfaction in Scottish business circles, and the hope is freely expressed that the display of Malayan exhibits will result in mutual trade benefits.\n\nWelcoming Malaya to the Exhibition, the Glasgow \"News\" in a short editorial says:-\n\n\"Your decision to book 5,000 square feet in the Colonial Pavilion is heartening to us in Glasgow, and will prove a wise departure for yourselves.\n\n### CHINA REVIEW\n\n#### Pitiable Sights\n\n\"Unparalleled scenes of misery and destitution are being witnessed in the streets of Shanghai as a result of the hostilities, for hundreds of refugees are roaming the streets in the International Settlement and French Concession, sleeping in the open, begging for food, battered by the elements.\"\n\nThis is the description which an eyewitness gives of the immense suffering of the civilian population in Shanghai from a war which is due to no fault of theirs.\n\nBeing driven from their homes by the unwelcome visitation of bullets and shells, these refugees have now to live in concentration camps. Although eighty such camps have been established in the foreign areas, there is accommodation for a mere handful of the total figure. Meanwhile, the food problem grows more acute daily.\n\nAt present, unfortunate victims of war are only given rations, which do no more than keep them from abject starvation, and the police and volunteers are kept busy coping with food riots.\n\nFurther, the unsanitary conditions in the city are causing the health authorities much anxiety. Cases of cholera have been reported, and if the disease develops into an epidemic, against which all possible precautions are now being taken, the situation will be rendered most difficult.\n\n#### Women Soldiers\n\nThe womenfolk in China are taking their full share of responsibility in the present Sino-Japanese conflict. Discarding lipsticks and eyebrow pencils, they have now taken active parts in the front lines, and have been engaged in militia duties in the rear. It is even said that some of them have actually seen service in some of the grimmest and bloodiest battles in Shanghai.\n\nThroughout the country, girls are petitioning the Government for enrolment into the women's fighting forces, but so far, only those with previous military training have been drafted. But those who have been rejected are trying to make themselves useful in other ways, such as bringing comforts and entertainment to the troops and doing Red Cross work in base hospitals behind the fighting lines.\n\nAt the same time, the Government is exercising the greatest of caution because numerous traitors and spies are seeking to make army contacts. Consequently, many volunteers are rejected unless they possess incontrovertible proofs of their patriotic motives.\n\nThe former Red Army, subsequently renamed the 8th Route Army, possesses a contingent of veteran women troops. They are mostly wives of regulars, and are reliably said to be remaining with the 8th Route Army. It will be recalled that two years ago, they captured an entire regiment of Szechuen provincial troops!\n\n### MALAYAN REVIEW (Continued)\n\n\"Over here, we know too little of what you mean to the Empire with your vast production of rubber and tin, and your strategic importance in times of peace as in times of international strife.\n\n\"We are vague in our knowledge of the Federated and Unfederated States and the Straits Settlements, and their relation to Britain, so that anything you can do to educate us will be of mutual benefit.\n\n\"The Sino-Japanese war reminds us forcibly of the part that Singapore plays in protecting the arteries of Empire, and safeguarding the life-blood of our peoples.\n\n\"You will enlighten us more fully and by happier methods.\"\n\n### CHUNG SHAN SURGICAL UNIT\n\n#### Personnel In North China\n\nThe following corrected list of the personnel composing the Chung Shan Surgical Unit was received from Nanking recently, reading as follows:-\n\nThe Chung Shan Medical Unit, Nanking:- Patron and President: Dr. Sun Fo, President of the Legislative Yuan;\n\nBoard of Directors:- Dr. Wang Ching Wei (President of the Kuomintang); Dr. Wang Chung Hui (Minister of Foreign Affairs); Dr. J.

        "content_text": "# UNTOLD HORROR AND INHUMANITY\n\nand handed to the Chairman who, after perusal, said that the letter should be read at this stage, it read:-\n\n\"**Norddeutscher Lloyd, Bremen**\n\nHong Kong, Sept. 27. 1937. Report over shipwrecked crew. On our way from Kobe to Hong Kong, we saw in the morning, 3.40. September 27, a shipwrecked crew about true 205 degrees 7 miles distance from Pedro Blanco Rock. At the same time we turned the ship and were searching for the float. At 3.50 a.m. we found the shipwrecked crew sitting on a small raft. We lowered our boat and picked up nine Chinese males and one female.\n\n(Sgd) W. Stein.\nCaptain\nS.s. Scharnhorst, Bremen.\"\n\nMr. Whyatt: After receiving that document did you see any of these Chinese people on board?—Yes.\n\nHow many?—Nine Chinese males and one female.\n\nAnd what did you do with them?—I put them on board the police launch and took them to the Water Police and handed them over to the Inspector on duty.\n\n## LOG ENTRY\n\nThe next witness called was Capt. E. H. Histed, residing at 34. Kimberley Road, the master of the **Kaying**, which is owned by the China Navigation Co., Ltd., and whose local agents are Messrs. Butterfield and Swire.\n\nMr. Whyatt: On September 26 were you aboard your ship?—Yes. From Shanghai to Hong Kong.\n\nWere you carrying many passengers?—Yes.\n\nWhat sort of passengers?—Refugees from Shanghai to Canton, mostly Chinese passengers.\n\nAbout 6 o'clock on the evening of September 27 did the Second Officer make a report to you?—Yes.\n\nAnd as a result of that report what did you do?—I went on the bridge and I saw two men on a raft.\n\nThen what did you do?—The ship was stopped, manoeuvred, a boat was lowered in charge of the Chief Officer and the men taken on board the ship.\n\nWhat sort of wreckage was it that these men were clinging to?—A raft of some description.\n\nWhat sort of condition were these men in when you picked them up?—In a condition of extreme exhaustion.\n\nDid you discover what their names were?—The names were handed to me by the compradore, but I have not entered them and I did not put them into the book, I am afraid I would not remember them if you were to mention them.\n\nWhen you arrived in Hong Kong what did you do?—We came to Hong Kong and dropped the British Consul from Shanghai here, we then proceeded to Canton and returned the following day, September 30. The two men we had picked up we sent to the Tung Wah Hospital under the escort of one of the compradore staff.\n\n## Naval Expert Tells of Submarines\n\n\"Supposing you were cruising off the South China Coast and you saw a submarine with white, black and white bands painted around the conning tower, could you from those indications form any view as to its nationality?\" was the question put forward by Mr. John Whyatt to Lt.-Comdr. R. R. Herbert, expert in distinguishing marks attached to submarines of Naval Powers, at the third hearing of the \"Junk-Sinking Inquiry,\" at the Supreme Court on Oct. 21, when the \"voice of experience\" echoed the reply that his first impression would be that it was a Japanese submarine.\n\nHarrowing tales, expressive of untold devastation and suffering, were told by an eye-witness who recalled the tragedy of the merciless shelling and sinking of a fleet of Chinese fishing junks, allegedly by the hands of a malicious Japanese submarine crew. The inquiry is being conducted by a special Government-appointed Commission comprising His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor (Chairman), the Harbour Master, Hon. Commander J. B. Newill, and Mr. Justice J. A. Fraser. Mr. J. C. McDouall is acting as Secretary to the Commission, whilst Mr. John Whyatt, Assistant Attorney General, is in charge of witnesses.\n\nMedical evidence was given by Dr. P. F. S. Court, Government medical officer, of the Queen Mary Hospital, and by Dr. Bow, Medical Superintendent of Kwong Wah Hospital. These witnesses testified that the victims were suffering from injuries due to the presence of foreign bodies in the nature of metallic fragments.\n\nHearing was adjourned till 10 a.m. to-morrow.\n\n### TWO MEN OF RAFT\n\nRecalled, Lam Chu demonstrated how the suspenders were worn—one strap on each shoulder like braces, adding that the straps were dark in colour and about 1½ inches in width.\n\nYu Man-hoi, assistant compradore of the **Kaying**, gave evidence to the effect that, while the steamer was on a voyage from Shanghai to Hong Kong on September 27, he saw at a distance two men, whose names he discovered to be Ho Pak-kan and Ho Pak-shing, calling out for help, clinging to a raft. After being picked and taken on board, they looked very much exhausted, their hands and feet being very pale as if they had been in water for a long time.\n\nSgt. Mackay, police photographer, stated that he took photographs of junks No. 28 and No. 447, copies of which were shown to the Commission.\n\n### GOOD WEATHER\n\nMr. S. P. Heywood, Assistant Director of the Royal Observatory, was then called.\n\nMr. Whyatt: Is it the practice of the Observatory to compile weather maps twice daily?—Yes, morning and afternoon.\n\nFrom your experience and knowledge are these weather maps for the most part accurate?—Yes.\n\nHave you brought with you certain weather maps covering Sept. 21 to Sept. 27?—Yes.\n\nThese maps show the sort of weather prevailing in the vicinity of Chilang Lighthouse throughout that period?—One can adduce from them.\n\nWhat sort of weather was prevailing there during that time?—Moderate east and E.N.E. winds throughout the period except on September 27 when the wind was light westerly. The weather was fair or fine and the visibility was good and it is unlikely that any strong winds were experienced near the Chilang Point during that period.\n\nAfter compiling these maps did you subsequently receive information from ships?—Yes, we received a number of meteorological logs from ships plying between Hong Kong and coast ports. There were no reports of any wind exceeding 18 m.p.h. and the weather in all cases was fair or fine except Sept. 27. The **Kaying** on that day reported the sea was smooth.\n\nAnd from the reports you received you expect the sea to be smooth?—Yes.\n\n### EVENTUALLY RESCUED\n\nFung Chan-ho, native of Macao, testified that on the morning of September 22 he was on board junk No. 1822 off Chilang Lighthouse, when he saw at a distance a pair of junks hit by gunfire.\n\nWhat happened after the guns had hit the first pair of junks?—We lowered all our sails and, being frightened, we all went into the hold. Eventually our junk was also hit and sank. We then came on the deck and tied the sails together to form a raft, on which we floated. There was also one sampan.\n\nWas any member of your crew injured?—Yes. Leung Hong, who was wounded on both feet. We were eventually rescued by another junk and brought back to Aberdeen.\n\n### EXPERT EVIDENCE\n\nLieut. Comdr. R. R. Heibert, attached to the Commodore's Office, Hong Kong, was the next witness.\n\nHe stated he had served 21 years in the Royal Navy, 16 of which had been in submarines.\n\nMr. Whyatt: For ten years you have been in command of submarines?—Yes.\n\nShould I be right in describing you as a specialist in that type of naval craft?—Yes.\n\nCan you tell me from your experience what colour submarines are usually painted?—Usually grey, from light or silvery grey to dark grey, largely depending on the nature of the operations on which the submarine may be engaged.\n\n### DISTINGUISHING MARKS\n\nAre you speaking of the British Navy?—No, all Navies.\n\nWith regard to certain distinguishing marks which I understand are sometimes carried on the hull of submarines, is it the practice of certain Navies to paint numerals on the hull near the conning tower?—It is not the general practice in the British Navy nor, as far as I know, in the American Navy.\n\nCan you tell me the Navy that adopts this practice?—Yes. Japanese Navy.\n\nIs it the invariable practice in the Japanese Navy?—As far as I know, it is.\n\nWhat sort of numerals do they use?—Arabic.\n\nAnd whereabouts do they usually paint these numerals?—On the hull before the conning tower, towards the bow.\n\nSupposing now you are cruising off the south China Coast, and supposing you saw a submarine with an Arabic numeral \"7\" painted on the hull, could you from your experience form any opinion as to the nationality of the submarine?—That would be a Japanese submarine, but I should require more certain evidence than that.\n\n### PORTABLE MACHINE-GUNS\n\nIs it the practice of some navies to paint white or black bands on their vessels?—It is done in most Navies; for instance, in the British Navy our destroyers have bands on the funnels.\n\nIs this practice used to a limited or extensive extent?—It is used very extensively—most extensively, I might say, in the Japanese Navy. They are painted on their cruisers and destroyers, but I cannot be definite about their submarines.\n\nWe all know that the chief armament carried by submarines is torpedo; have they any other type of armaments?—Yes, they carry guns of three or four inches and sometimes a larger calibre, portable machine-guns and rifles.\n\nI am chiefly interested in guns. Can you tell me whether they carry them?—Normally a submarine has one gun just before the conning tower on the deck.\n\n### ABSOLUTELY INVARIABLE\n\nWhat do you mean by \"normally\"?—In some cases, specially in foreign navies, some submarines are built with two guns—one before the conning tower and one aft—but this is most unusual and is usually found in the largest and most modern submarines. It is not unusual to see a submarine equipped with one gun but a submarine equipped with two guns would be a most unusual sight in South China.\n\nAnd would that enable you to form any opinion as to its nationality?—Yes, I should be very much inclined to believe it was a Japanese submarine.\n\nDo you know anything about the dresses and equipment that is worn by Japanese sailors?—Yes, they are in the habit of carrying a water bottle when they form landing parties, or go ashore. They wear a sort of equipment with straps over their shoulders. The water bottle, I believe, is attached to the straps which go from the shoulder down to waist.\n\nIs that an invariable practice?—Yes, absolutely invariable; they always wear it when they go ashore, but I could not say whether they wear it when they are at sea.\n\nApart from that, is it unique in that respect?—Absolutely.\n\nChairman: Can you give any idea of the colour of the strap?—A dark khaki colour.\n\nChairman: Am I right in assuming that you draw a distinguishing line between landing parties carrying a bottle strapped to their shoulders and the other equipment of boarding parties?—I should imagine it would be a practice then to wear some sort of equipment when they were going to action.\n\n### GO BY CLASSES\n\nChairman: Do you happen to know whether in the Japanese Navy there is a submarine bearing the figure 7?—I should imagine there would be, because they go by classes, 1 to 5 and 5 to 8.\n\nCan you imagine what armament No. 7 submarine has?—I should say two 5.5 inch guns.\n\nRe-called, Dr. Court stated that he performed a \"post mortem\" examination on Leung Hong and found that he died as a result of a septic wound in the leg.\n\nAfter Mr. Whyatt had informed the Commissioners that the expert evidence on the bullet was not yet available, hearing was adjourned until 10 a.m. to-day.",

        "content_text": "# \n[1st witness Lam Chu (recalled).] \n[18th witness Yu Man-hoi.] \n\n50 \n\n1272. You could see the loom of the light? **Yes.** \n\n(Witness left witness box). \n\n1273. Mr. Whyatt: I am afraid I am not in a position to put any further evidence before the Commission this afternoon. \n\n1274. Chairman: Is it possible for you to give us any indication how long we are likely to be occupied in taking all the evidence? \n\n1275. Mr. Whyatt: It is impossible to say how long it will take as... \n\n1276. Chairman: I appreciate the difficulty. It would not be possible to give us an accurate estimate, but approximately? \n\n1277. Mr. Whyatt: If we adjourn to Thursday morning I think I can say that we will finish on Thursday, possibly before lunch. \n\n1278. Chairman: Adjourned until 10.00 a.m. on Thursday morning. \n\n10 a.m., 21st October, 1937. \n\n1279. Mr. Whyatt: Sir, you will remember that on the first day of the hearing Lam Chu in his evidence, in answer to my question as to what it was about their appearance which made him think the sailors on the submarine were Japanese, replied \"Because I could recognize them by their clothing-the outer garment had a sort of suspender leading from the shoulder to the trousers.\" It has occurred to me that perhaps that evidence might be clarified somewhat if Lam Chu might be recalled to demonstrate. \n\n1280. Chairman: I am afraid that I was not able to glean much from it and I think it might help considerably if he might explain a little further what he meant. \nFirst Witness. Lam Chu (recalled). \n\n1281. Lam Chu recalled (on former declaration). \n\n1282. Mr. Whyatt: You told me in your evidence that you recognized these sailors on board the submarine as Japanese sailors because they wore a sort of suspender leading from the shoulder to the trousers? **Yes, I said that.** \n\n1283. (Two straps produced-one white and one dark brown). \n\n1284. Take one or both of these straps as you please and show us how they were wearing their straps. (Witness places one strap over his right shoulder and one over his left shoulder hanging straight down over his chest to waist). \n\n1285. What colour were the straps? \n\n1286. Chairman: Like a pair of braces. \n\n1287. Mr. Whyatt: Yes, that is right. \n\n1288. Witness (holding up white strap): The colour of the straps on the sailors was darker than this colour. \n\n1289. Could you say whether anything was attached to the straps? In the front I saw nothing attached to the straps at all; the ends of the straps were attached to the trousers. \n\n1290. What width were these straps? About the same width as this strap (1″). \n\n(Witness left the witness box). \n\n1291. Mr. Whyatt: Now, sir, I will call the compradore of the s.s. Kaying. \n1292. Eighteenth Witness. Yu Man-hei, duly declared, states:— \n1293. Mr. Whyatt: You are the compradore of the s.s. Kaying? **Assistant compradore.** \n\n1294. Were you on board the s.s. Kaying on 27th September when she was bound from Shanghai to Hong Kong? **Yes.** \n\n1295. Do you recollect anything unusual happening on that voyage? We met a fishing junk-no, not a junk; we found two men afloat. \n\n1296. About what time of the day was that? Between 6 and 7 p.m. \n\n1297. That was on the 27th September? **It was.** \n\n51 \n\n[18th witness Yu Man-hoi.] \n[19th witness Thomas Gillson Mackay.] \n\n1298. What did you do? I was then in my cabin. I noticed the steamer had stopped, and the captain then sent for me and asked me to go up to the deck. \n\n1299. What did you do when you got on deck? I saw in the distance two men on a raft calling out \"Save life\". \n\n1300. And was the ship manoeuvred, and eventually were these two men picked up from the raft and taken aboard the \"Kaying\"? They were picked up and put on board. \n\n1301. And when they were put on board in whose charge were they placed? They were left with me by the chief officer and I was told to take them below. \n\n1302. What sort of condition were they in? They appeared to be much fatigued, and their hands and feet looked very white as if they had been in the water for a long time. \n\n1303. What did you do for them? At first I wanted to give them some rice, but I was advised not to do so for the reason that, as they had been in the water for such a long time, it would not be wise to do that. I then gave them some brandy, a glass each, and later I gave them some congee, and then clothing. \n\n1304. Did you ascertain the names of these two men? **Yes, their names are Ho Pak-kung and Ho Pak-shing.** \n\n1305. And eventually they were put ashore in Hong Kong? **Yes.** \n\n1306. Do you know where they were sent to? They were put on board a sampan and were left in the hands of the boat people. I don't know where they went eventually. \n\n(Witness left the witness box). \n\n1307. Mr. Whyatt: I think it would be convenient if I put in a few photographs of these guns we have been talking about, sir. Two of these junks escaped and I thought if we were going to have any photographs of the guns we might have photographs of the cannon on these junks. I asked the police photographer to have certain photographs taken. \n\n1308. Nineteenth Witness. Thomas Gillison Mackay, Acting Police Sergeant A119, duly sworn, states:- \n\n1309. Mr. Whyatt: Sergeant Mackay, you are the police photographer? **I am.** \n1310. In the Hong Kong police? **Yes.** \n\n1311. Did you go yesterday to visit two junks? **Yes.** \n1312. Do you remember their numbers? **28 and 4470.** \n\n1313. Whereabouts were they lying? In Hang Hau Bay. \n\n1314. And when you got there did you take certain photographs? **I did.** \n1315. What was the first junk that you visited? No. 28. \n\n1316. You know more about these photographs than I do. Will you show us the photographs that you took of Junk No. 28? (Witness produces a photograph [marked `T.G.M.1.`]) This is a gun on the port side. \n\n1317. Is that on Junk No. 28? **Yes.** \n\n1318. How many copies did you make? There are six copies of each photograph. \n1319. Did you take any more photographs on Junk 28? This was taken on the starboard side of the same vessel—[`T.G.M.2.`] \n\n1320. Did you take any more photographs on Junk 28? **No, only these two.** \n\n1321. After taking these two photographs on Junk 28-what was the next photograph you took? I took one on 4470. \n\n1322. What did you photograph on 4470? A gun which was lying on deck-[`T.G.M.3.`] \n\n1323. Chairman: Any trace of gun mountings? There are gun mountings but they were in the hold and they were used as ballast, made fast to the side by wires. \n\n249",

The process of the conversion of this school into a Vernacular \"Ko Siu\" School continues. In September, a \"Ko Siu\" II was formed to take the place of an English Class 7. The Annual Examination showed very good results; over 90% passed. The high cost of transportation is an obstacle to the passed students who wish to further their studies in the Urban Districts.\n\nGRANT SCHOOLS.\n\n14. The number of Grant Schools has been reduced to three as a consequence of the amalgamation of the Fairlea Girls' School with the Victoria Home in the early part of the year. The amalgamated school is the Heep Yunn School, housed in a new modern school building in Kowloon City. The school follows the same policy as the former Fairlea Girls' School, i.e., unlike the Ying Wa and St. Paul's, it follows the prescribed syllabus for Vernacular Middle Schools. In the University Examination, 50% of the top class students of both the Ying Wa and St. Paul's passed. In the Class 2 Examination, 61% of Ying Wa's candidates passed, while St. Paul's did not enter its students for this examination. The total enrolment in the three schools was 1,080, and the average attendance was 865.\n\nPRIVATE SCHOOLS-URBAN DISTRICTS.\n\n15. The total number of schools which received subsidies for either a part of or the whole year was 173. A few having been either removed from the Subsidy List or closed during the year, the number of Subsidized Schools at the end of the year was 167, with a total enrolment of 15,007, (15,174 in 1936) and an average attendance of 14,120 (14,305 in 1936). The number of Non-subsidized Day Schools was 591, an increase of thirty-five over last year. (maximum enrolment-41,250: average attendance=38,580). The number of Night Schools has increased to 54, (24 Boys' and 30 Girls'). The total enrolment in these schools was 1,902 (740 boys and 1,162 girls), and the average attendance was 1,566. The majority of these schools are Free Schools for the Working Class, sons of labourers, servant-maids and factory girls. The total number of Private Vernacular Schools in the Urban Districts existing at the end of the year was 816 (784 in 1936), consisting of 1 Exempted, 3 Grant, 167 Subsidized, 591 Non-subsidized and 54 Night Schools. The total enrolment in these schools was 59,249 (36,943 boys and 22,306 girls), and the average attendance was 55,139.\n\n16. The total amount of Subsidies paid was $92,130 which works out at about $532.60 per school, or $6.10 per pupil.\n\nO 21\n\n17. Physical Training. For the second time, a competition was held in December. The number of entries was exactly the same as that of the previous year i.e. 21, but the display showed considerable improvement in certain directions.\n\n18. Scholarships.-Thirty Free Places tenable at various Government English Schools, and four at the Vernacular Middle School were awarded to boys from Subsidized schools and eighteen Places at the Belilios School were awarded to girls from various Vernacular schools. This was the first time that a sufficient number of suitable students were found to fill all the 18 Free Places offered at the Belilios School, and this may be accounted for by the tendency in Girls' Vernacular Schools to introduce English into their curriculum in the earlier stages.\n\nPRIVATE SCHOOLS-RURAL DISTRICTS.\n\n19. Subsidized Schools.-The number of Subsidized schools was 116 including 6 girls' schools. Subsidies paid amounted to $19,855 working out to an average of $171.15 per school, or $4.20 per pupil.\n\n20. Non-Subsidized Schools.-There were 78 non-subsidized schools including 7 Girls' Schools. (6 Day Schools and 1 Night School.)\n\n21. Attendance. The total enrolment in the New Territories Schools was 7,708 (4,781 pupils including 601 girls in Subsidized schools, 2,927 including 758 girls in Non-subsidized schools, and 50 girls in a Girls' Night School), the average attendance was 6,099.\n\n22. Scholarships.-All the Free Places tenable in Government Schools offered to students from Subsidized Schools were eagerly sought and were filled by students selected at a competitive examination.\n\n23. Secondary Schools.-During the second half of the year, a few of the Secondary Schools-both English and Chinese-that were forced by the Sino-Japanese conflict to remove from Canton or other parts of China to this Colony established themselves in the New Territories, and it may be recorded that this is the first year that Secondary Schools appear on the New Territory School List. It will be interesting to see how many New Territories students will avail themselves of the opportunity, as we may judge therefrom what demand there is for Secondary Schools in these territories.\n\n24. Every school has been visited at least once during the year.\n\n($d.) Y. P. LAW,\n\nW. YU,\n\nI. S. WAN,\n\nS. W. LIANG,\n\nInspectors of Vernacular Schools\n\n24. 2. 38.\n\n69",

        "content_text": "243\n\n8\n\nCONFERRING OF DEGREES\n\nNEED OF GIRL STUDENTS' HOSTEL AND PLAYING FIELDS URGED\n\nCHANCELLOR AND UNIVERSITY\n\nThe twenty-ninth Congregation of the Hongkong University for the conferring of degrees was held yesterday when His Excellency the Governor, Sir Geoffry Northcote, acted for the first time at this function in his capacity of Chancellor.\n\nMr. D. J. Sloss, C.B.E., M.A., referred to the lack of a hostel for the girl students, who had increased in numbers, and the insufficiency of playing fields generally. In a generous tribute to his predecessor, Mr. Sloss mentioned that a considerable number of books had been donated to the University by Sir William Hornell.\n\nThe Procession marshalled in the robing room soon after the Chancellor arrived and then, led by the Mace Bearer, walked through the cloisters.\n\nThe Chancellor declared the Congregation open, and the Vice-Chancellor made the opening address.\n\nMr. Sloss said: It has been customary for the Congregation to comment upon the events of the preceding year. As I have been here only two months I cannot do this, and therefore I shall limit myself in the main to obvious and non-controversial issues.\n\nA Royal Patron\n\nHis Excellency said: The past year has been notably eventful. During its passage the University lost a Chancellor in Sir Andrew Caldecott who, though his tenure of his office was short, took a keen interest in the welfare of the University.\n\nThe General Library of the University has been enriched by a gift of about 2,000 volumes from Sir William Hornell. Many of the books in Sir William's gift would now be difficult to obtain, and they increase the value of the Library.\n\nThe Chinese part of the Library has also found friends. Two large collections of good books, some in rare editions, lent from Canton for long periods of use in this Library.\n\nTo this I would like to add a few words to recall Sir William's eminent services to education before he came here—the achievements, in fact, with which were the use of his coming to Hongkong. He entered the Indian Education Service early in life and after seven years' distinguished work in Bengal he was recalled to the Board of Education in London where he worked in the Department of Special Enquiries and Reports with distinguished colleagues such as Sir Frank Heath and Mr. C: W. Twenty-four years later he came to Hongkong as Vice-Chancellor.\n\nSir William's hospitality was a fine influence in the University. His genial and kindly nature endeared him to his friends, and the memory of his geniality and his \"fairy god-mother\" kindnesses, which endeared him to a wide circle of friends and, not least, to the students of this University.\n\nOne of the oldest of Sir William's colleagues writes of him: \"During his thirteen years of office as Vice-Chancellor Sir William Hornell had many perplexities and problems to face. Throughout all these difficulties he always tried to do whatever he could to make members of his staff more efficient at their work and more contended in their conditions of service.\"\n\nHe returned to India in 1913 as Director of Public Instruction in Bengal.\n\nThe story of this University has been a story of transitions from crisis to crisis, and Sir William worthily filled a Vice-Chancellor's place.\n\nWilliam's place has been worthily filled by a Vice-Chancellor whose ripe experience makes him peculiarly welcome at the present juncture.\n\nThe Chancellor made a studied reference to the deliberations of the Committee which recently published recommendations for changes in the University administration, but laid most stress on the need for greater attention to the teaching of hygiene and the need for accommodation for girl students.\n\nThe University's great annual event was favoured by the weather, and the number of graduates in the University in 1937 has risen from a normal 50 to an actual 77.\n\nSeating and standing space and inside the Great Hall was fully occupied long before 5 p.m.\n\nThe Deans of the Faculties of Medicine, Engineering, and Arts then presented their graduates in succession, and the Chancellor conferred the respective degrees on each graduate, as they stepped forward with new hoods, and afterwards shook hands with each of them.\n\nThe Vice-Chancellor next read out the names of students in absentia on whom degrees were conferred, and presented the scholarship winners, with whom the Chancellor also shook hands.\n\nThe Graduates\n\nThe graduates of 1937 were:\n\nDegree of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery.—R. E. Alvares, Oni Kee-wan, Yang Ke, M. P. H. Itoh, W. Heng, H. L. Ozorio. Yeang Cheng-hin Kan Lai-to, G. A. V. Ribeiro, Yeung Wai-Wah; in Absentia; Tan Eng-gwa.\n\nDegree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering. Chan Sze-cheung, Chin Weng-kwan, Wong Yee-wah, J. da Silva, Tan Pek-eam. Chung Chang Chi-yin, Ching Yok-chong, Lo Hung-pok, G. Singh, Sung Sheung-hong, Tan Yong-nee. Tránh Kai-ng. E. T. Wood, Chak Fook-yat. Liauw Khoon-lim, G. C. K. Ma, A. L. N. da Silva, Sung Taoong-tub\n\nDegree of Bachelor of Arts: Au Yeung-chiu, Chan Kai-lau, Cheung Wing-ngok, Ho Ying-fwee, Law Chung-kam, Leung Sik-kwan, Li Shi-yt, Mok Hing-bun, Wong Man-la. Boon Yeon-fong. Mg Tily Shuen Fo-yuen,_ Miss_Tam Wai-chit, Miss Chan. Miss Helen Chu. Hung Mo-chiu, Kai kwani Fook-shu, Lo Bung-chun, Miss Helen Moore, Sze Chiten, Tang Chi-keung, Yu Kwok-ylm, Chan Jm-fut, Chau Sing-kan, Chung Hon-ki, In Absentia.—Lee Kuan\n\nScholarships\n\nFollowing were the Scholarship awards:\n\nThe Anderson Medal, Yeang Cheng-hin.\n\nThe Ho Fook and Chan Kai Ming, 1st Medical Scholarship and the Ng Li Hing very ancient Scholarship, Daphne Chun.\n\nThe Ho Fook and Chan Kai Ming 2nd Medical Scholarship P. R. T. Naidu and G. A. V. Ribeiro, the Ho Fook and Chan Kai Ming Engineering Scholarship, G. M. Cornfeld.\n\nThe Ho Fook and Chan Kai Ming Arts Scholarship, Wu Hei-tak.\n\nPhysical Training\n\nIn one respect, I am advised, student life at the University might be quickened and that is by devoting a little more time and thought to generally collective Physical Training.\n\nAs is well known, modern thought to-day, puts into practice a growingly closer alliance between the mind and the body, and it would be wise to encourage and help members of the staff to attend scientific conferences in other parts of the world and the students of the University to travel for purposes of study.\n\nChancellor's Address\n\nHis Excellency said: I turn for a moment to a material need of the University which is becoming more and more urgent year by year. 90 were women. For them the University so far, has not been able to provide a residential hall, nor even a hostel in which they could be housed collectively.\n\nThus on the one hand they are without the discipline and tutelage which are essential conditions of sound student life, and on the other they are deprived of the experience of a corporate life which supplies a great stimulus to, and widens the horizon of, those who are fortunate enough to live in University colleges.\n\nMr. Sloss, the Vice-Chancellor, has just spoken of Sir William Hornell's many services to education and I would like to render a tribute to those members of this University who engage themselves in social activities in the interest of other less fortunate than themselves.\n\nI refer, of course, to the Education Society, the Medical Society, the Christian Association and the other bodies within the University which have as their aim the betterment of the poorest classes of the community.\n\nTheir service of love builds better than they know: for love alone is creative and ever transcends its conscious objectives.\n\nCommittee's Report\n\nBefore I end this address I would like to render a tribute to those members of this University who engage themselves in social activities in the interest of other less fortunate than themselves.\n\nCertain of them, for example the advice to invest most of the Superannuation Fund in the general funds of the University, appear to me to be non-controversial and to call for immediate implementation.\n\nThe report contains, however, many suggestions and recommendations concerning finance and organization which pertain to the Finance Committee and the Council rather than to the Senate and I trust that these will be considered by the former authorities while those concerning the curriculum are being considered by the latter.\n\nThe Courage with which (Applause).\n\nHis Excellency then declared the Congregation closed.\n\nProcession List\n\nThe Procession which comprised Members of the Court, Council, Senate and Faculties of the University and Wardens of the Hostels, was as follows:\n\nHis Excellency the Chancellor, preceded by the Mace Bearer, and followed by the Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Dean, Faculty of Arts; H. E. Major-General A. W. Bartholomew and The Registrar; H. H. Sir Atholl Mac-Gregor and Hon. Mr. N. L. Smith: The Vice-Chancellor; Faculty of Medicine; Treasurer and Dean, Rt. Rev. Bishop R. O.

Edwards at the Central Magistracy yesterday and pleaded guilty.\n\nDet, Sergeant Davies stated that defendant was employed by a firm on the third floor of the Marina House. On the morning in question, he went down to the first floor and entered a vacant office where some electrical repairs were being carried and so forth. That done, he took two lead pipes and placed them across the alleyway to the St. Francis Hotel, and started to walk across to the hotel. Midway, the pipes gave way, and he fell, from a height of about 30 feet, and had to receive medical attention. The defendant admitted that his intention was to commit a larceny in the hotel.\n\nHis Worship bound defendant over in the sum of $50 to be of good behaviour for a year, and remarked that he had learned a good lesson.\n\nHOUSEBREAKING ATTEMPT\n\nMr. D. Keys, of 3 Cameron Road, reported to the police on Tuesday that some person attempted to enter his house between 10 p.m. on January 3 and 8 a.m. on January 4, by boring a hole in the front door. The intruder was apparently disturbed before he could enter the house, and ran away without taking anything.\n\nOPENING TO-DAY KING'S\n\nErrol Flynn wields a mean blade to save the prince—or is it the pauper?\n\nYou, too, can attend the coronation—and see the world's most impressive ceremony!\n\nSee how one boy's bravery saved the throne of Britain from the gangsters of the court!\n\nALSO LATEST COLOURED CARTOON\n\n“I'M A BIG SHOT NOW”\n\nOnly Mark Twain Could Have Written It!\n\nOnly These Stars Could Have Played It!\n\nOnly Warner Bros.

I would also observe that some improvement in promotion prospects is afforded by the recommendation which is being made for the grant of the salary and status of an Assistant Director of Public Works to the Water Engineer.\n\n9.\n\nCertain minor points are raised:-\n\n(a) Objection is made to the calculation of rent and rent allowances on the basis of acting salary but this appears essential to deal with the case of men on salaries carrying the old terms as to quarters acting in posts carrying the new terms. For example, without such provision an Executive Engineer on the old terms acting as Assistant Director of Public Works would not get free quarters and might then receive no benefit at all from his acting appointment.\n\n(b) To meet the complaint about acting pay a proposal to give a fixed allowance of £150 to engineers acting as Executive Engineers has been incorporated in the final report of the Anomalies Committee.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\n\n& ERGARDO...

        "content_text": "# Encl.No.1.\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\n30\n\n## Hong Kong Seamen's Union\n\n\"The Hong Kong Seamen's Union\" was inaugurated on the 15th August 1937. Its title differs from that of the proscribed \"Chinese Seamen's Union\" only in the substitution of \"Hong Kong\" for \"Chinese\".\n\n## The Yu Han Lok She\n\nThe new union is the direct offspring of the Yu Han Lok She, a club which apparently began as a Seamen's benevolent and recreation club for men working on board Empress Liners, but which in 1936 included seamen from other lines as well as employees at Shamshuipo Barracks, the Navy, Army and Air Force Institute, the Royal Engineers Mess, and the Peak Club. On 15th May, 1937, a manifesto was issued from the address of this Club calling for the inauguration of a Hong Kong Seamen's Union which would have three objects:\n1. Improvement of conditions of employment of seamen.\n2. Support of the Central Government of China against Japan.\n3. Preservation of friendship between China and Great Britain.\n\nThis manifesto came into the hands of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs. No action was taken.\n\n## Establishment of the Seamen's Union\n\nA month later, the Yu Han Lok She distributed notices to seamen's lodging houses asking for signatures to a petition for permission to open a Hong Kong Seamen's Union and calling for subscriptions in aid of the Chinese seamen on the Dojima Maru and their relatives. The petition was presented (with $60 for the Dojima Maru) on the 22nd June. It was signed by Fong Sai Lam as promoter and by representatives of 61 seamen's lodging houses. On 26th July, a letter was received by the acting Secretary for Chinese Affairs from the Canadian Pacific Railways protesting against the activities of the promoters. No action appears to have been taken beyond recording the petition and the draft rules of the Union.\n\nPage 30\nPage 31",

KUNG answers that SIU's matter should be hurried and not to attend to other puppets beforehand, so as not to put SIU on guard.\n\nEnclosures 15 to 24 refer to expenses of the squad and the buying of Mauser pistols.",

On learning this, WONG told his friends:-\n\n\"I know too many people in both Peiping and Tientsin and besides, I am not on good terms with the men in charge there. If I am to work there now, it is very dangerous. The sending of me there by YU LUNG amounts to driving me to the land of death. I have a long connection with the Secret Service and I believe I have done some good works. I never expect that I would be oppressed like this.\"\n\nWONG said these words with indignation.\n\nTherefore, he asked YU LUNG that he be transferred to Sian as he was previously instructed, or that he be allowed to have a temporary rest. YU LUNG refused, and WONG had to go to Tientsin.\n\nAfter arriving in Tientsin, he received no expenses from YU LUNG, and was not given any facilities in sending telegrams etc. As WONG knew too many people and could not conveniently go out so often, he found no way to carry on the work.\n\nLater on, he suddenly returned to Shanghai. He did not know LI SZE KWAN until a certain LAM introduced him to the latter. Their connection started then. After this, he got into contact with TING MAK CHUEN and revolted in an attempt to retaliate.\n\nSome time in July, he succeeded in obtaining a list of names and addresses of the Central Secret Service",

The Japanese did not board the junk but asked for my licence and I gave it to them. They then threw a piece of paper with characters thereon on board the junk and told us to sail away.

Formerly a member of the University Medical School, who is head of the Public Health Division in the Japanese medical headquarters \n\n(2) Cheng Kwo Leung, who was Chinese Superintendent at the Stanley Internment Camp, and whose 'squeeze' in mawegung he canteen was so extortionate that he put even \n\nhimself out of business. \n\n(3) Dr. Wong Tung Ming, President of the New \n\nChinese Medical Association. \n\n(4) Ting Ngok.

Japanese policy has been, with the aid of the Police, to place Chinese clerks and technicians in their formal positions. In many places they recruited clerks formerly employed in military or Government offices for questioning either on specific points or general questions, and in most cases offered them work either for the period necessary to complete a special task or on a permanent basis. The Rev.nue Office already opened in Windsor House at the end of March with a Japanese senior staff (mainly naval) and twelve Chinese clerks, most of whom served in the same capacity under the Colonial Government. The No. 1 Chinese was Ho Kam Moon. \n\nB. The Police. Mr. Thompson's account of the surrender showed that the Japanese offered the Asiátic Police in Hong Kong service immediately after the surrender, and a considerable number of then accepted the Japanese terms more or less unwillingly. \n\nLater reports show, however, that the detective and special branch Chinese police have been of very great service to the Japanese authorities in tracing out former employees of Government and obtaining information regarding the population as whole. The number of Chinese police employed by the Japs is estimated at about 2,000 - about 75 per cent. of whom were members of the old force. The Hong Kong area is controlled by Inspector Wong Kin and Sergeant Major Yu Muk, both of whom had over 20 years service in the uniform force and a good record. In Kowloon the No. 1 is Tsoy Yukow, a member of the detective force, but the Chinese Commissioner of Police there is apparently a Tse Fu Ngau, who was a herbal doctor with a practice in Nathan Road. \n\n2. \n\nIndians. \n\nThe Japanese adopted a policy of special favouritism towards the Indians among different communities in Hong Kong. In the words of a refugee Indians \"belong No. 1 people\". The Japs formed an Indian Independence League at a very early date under one Sobil Khan who came to Hong Kong after the surrender. He appointed to run the League D.M. Khan, said to be late of the Medical Department, and one Alik, a resident of Hong Kong. There was, however, according to the account of a Mr. Mogra, who escaped from Hong Kong taisenment, jealousy among the Indians and the Sindhi Association, \n\nwho \n\n\n1 \n\n\nPage 10Page 11",

This is of inestimable help to the authorities who are able to trace out the former employees of the Government and able to obtain information regarding almost everyone in Hongkong.\n\nQuite a number of Chinese police have been sent to Canton. The Japanese have advertised for police and have sent some of these recruits overseas. In Hongkong the average Chinese Policemen is little better than a bandit and the squeeze rackets have if it is considered possible increased.\n\nChinese Police are used in the Naval Dockyard. It is reported that some 500 clerks have been enrolled in the Water Police. The police launches continue to be used by the Japanese. The Chinese crew are unarmed. One Japanese officer accompanies each launch which are fitted with two machine guns of unspecified type.\n\nThe number of men employed is given as 2000, about 75% being members of the old force.

        "content_text": "# Ceremony In Ruins Of University\n\n(nued from Page 2)\n\non Political Economy and the Professor of Education talked on Psychology to earnest audiences.\n\nI wish I could assure you that this beginning will develop quickly into a full re-establishment of the University. Every effort is being made to get the University going but, as you know, we have to start from barren walls and looted buildings. Efforts have been concentrated on opening the University for first-year classes in October of this year. We cannot be sure that we shall achieve this, get some classes going and due notice will be given of anything that is accomplished.\n\nThe date of opening for classes in Science, Medicine and Engineering depends on securing the necessary minimum of equipment. The latest information from the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Sloss, who is working hard at home for the University, is that the equipment may be ready for shipping by September of this year but that with top priority all along the line it could not be available for use in Hong Kong before December.\n\nIt is hoped that Mr. Boxer, the Registrar, will be returning shortly and that Professors Simpson and Robertson will also be coming back in a few months.\n\n\"By his brilliant popular lectures on various topics, his work in association with nutrition problems and above all by his cheerful example no one in the camp did more than Dr. Herklots in maintaining the morale of internees in those dreary days,\"\n\n\"An enthusiastic crowd of young men thronged the lectures of the late Professor Froid who spoke on Electricity, Magnetism, Physics - matters more or less germane to their own peacetime organisations.\n\n\"In this way the literary standard of the internees was raised though not even University Professors could do anything with, or to, those of them who persisted in saying 'O.K.' instead of 'Yes.'\n\n\"So, Ladies and Gentlemen, if the University in its corporate capacity might seem to have been in abeyance there was no break in the continuity of its activities.\n\n\"Furthermore the graduates of to-day are the students of 1941 and I venture to add that the Registrar of twenty-seven years ago is re-appearing momentarily in that capacity to-day.\n\nKernel Remains\n\n\"In spite of to-day's comparatively austere proceedings I shall not be surprised if they are recorded in the University's history as pregnant with significance as any that have been held within these walls.\n\n\"I say 'within these walls.' I cannot say 'under this roof,' as our shell is broken but if the wholesome kernel remains and if the new Bachelors of Medicine have proceeded to their degrees in a shattered building I would remind them that a roof is but a top dressing and a graduate is a graduate 'for a' that.\"\n\n\"I see in this ceremony the beginning of a renaissance and although there will inevitably be grievous obstacles in the way of our academic rehabilitation, I foresee for this University in Hong Kong a future of expanding usefulness in the Far East which will transcend its considerable achievements in the past.\"\n\n## Commander-in-Chief's Speech\n\nThe conferment of the Degrees followed, after which Vice-Admiral Sir Cecil Harcourt, the Commander-in-Chief, addressed the gathering,\n\nThe self-discipline between relationship pline and self-government. This, said His Excellency, is a great day in the annals of this University - the day when we have our first public ceremony since the re-occupation of the Colony. It is a beginning and I am afraid only a small beginning but none the less a beginning. I emphasising the relationship between national discipline and self-discipline.\n\nHistory has shown that no nation has flourished unless that nation has maintained a high standard of discipline. Most of the success of the Nazis was due to the high standard of discipline which they enforced, but that discipline was what I call the discipline of fear - discipline maintained by the Secret Police and the threat of the concentration camp. The highest form of discipline is, of course, self-discipline exercised by the individual exemplified by a high standard of a sense of a man's duty to his neighbour - called more simply in English \"playing the game\". This has not been achieved to a high degree by many countries. For instance, the Germans have never achieved it to a high degree, although the old German bureaucracy had a high standard of efficiency and integrity before they were destroyed by the Nazis. Britain, I feel, we have achieved as high a standard of self-discipline as most countries, in fact higher than most. The evidence of this is firstly the standard of integrity in all branches of our public services and it has also been made manifest recently by the absolutely negligible black market which has existed in Britain despite the very severe and continued rationing during six years of war. That record has shown Democracy in action.\n\nDemocracy - Democratic Government is not achieved merely by giving the franchise to the whole or a large portion of the population. It has to be built up step by step and must start with the acknowledgement of the rights of the individual, followed by the achievement of a high standard of integrity in the public service, which is done by the individuals comprising the community exercising self-government and self-discipline in their lives.\n\n## Liaison With China\n\nIn each step of the re-building of the University it is the intention to bear in mind always the importance of co-operation with the Universities and educational institutions of China. I am sure the importance of liaison with China is going to be a great factor in the future history of this University which numbers among its first students Dr. Sun Yat-sen. When I was in Chungking, the Generalissimo displayed great interest in the re-building of this University and spoke to me about the importance of getting the University going again as soon as possible, a view which I naturally very much shared with him. During my visit to Canton, I went to Ling Nam University and not only did I receive a very kind welcome but all the officials spoke most appreciatively to me of what Hong Kong University had done for Ling Nam before the Japanese attacked Hong Kong and also very kindly expressed their sincere wish to repay some of that debt by assisting Hong Kong University now. As you all know, a number of students from Hong Kong are now at Ling Nam University.\n\nWe have in Britain a form of Democratic Government which has been built up step by step during the centuries. For instance, in 1215 by the signing of Magna Charta the King became obedient to the law of the land and not a mere tyrant and despot as he continued to be in many countries for centuries after that date. In 1679 the Habeas Corpus Act established that no man should be thrown into prison and kept there without trial. Whilst this University started as a Medical College and teaches technical subjects, its activities and these rights must be well understood by the gaining of this civic sense - self-discipline which is the equivalent of civic sense. For it is only by the gaining of this civic sense that stable self-government can be achieved. Without this self-discipline, the establishment of universal franchise in any community means that there are thousands of people each working for their own selfish aims and caring little for the common good. The result in such cases is, as has been shown in various countries in recent years, not Democratic Government but what I call Democratic lack of government, or Democratic Anarchy.\n\nI ask you therefore to ponder these things, think over the implications, discuss them amongst yourselves, be honest with yourselves and maintain in yourselves that attitude to your neighbours that you would like them to maintain towards you.\n\nOnly in this way can genuine self-government be established in Hong Kong and whilst this University started as a Medical College and teaches technical subjects, it is essential that it should be understood that it is essential that the importance of self-discipline which is the equivalent of civic sense should be maintained.\n\n## The Degrees\n\n**Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery** are conferred upon the following:\n\n| Name |\n| --- |\n| Au Wai Man |\n| Au Kit Man |\n| Bun Pak Sun |\n| Chan Sing Boon |\n| Chan Wai Kai |\n| Ho Hung Kin |\n| Ip Yee |\n| Lam Shu Kee |\n| Leung Yau Shun |\n| Li Hin Lun |\n| Li Fook Kuen |\n| Ling Hong |\n| Loke Choong She |\n| Look Mang Wai |\n| Oh Kim Seng |\n| Tang Hon Chiu |\n| Tong Kwok Kee |\n| Wong Mook Foo |\n| Wong Siao Bu |\n| Yap Neow Foo |\n| Wu Kay Hau |\n| Yeoh Oon Khor |\n| Yu Shiu On |\n\nand in absentia upon:\n\n| Name |\n| --- |\n| Cheung King Ho |\n| Fung Kam Tat |\n| Hooi Peng Kwan |\n| Hui Kwan Lun |\n| Kaan Sze Kin |\n| Lam Yu Shing |\n| Siu Ka Hee |\n| Tan Kim Hoang |\n| Tsai Kam Fong |\n| Yan Jin Yau |",

        "content_text": "# SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST\n## 23rd MARCH, 1944\n### UNIVERSITY CEREMONY\n\n**Degrees Conferred On Medical Graduates In Great Hall Ruins**\n**C-IN-C SPEAKS ON CIVIC SENSE**\n\nIn the ruined, roofless Great Hall of the Hongkong University, the Degree of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery was conferred upon 23 candidates by the University of Hongkong Medical Degrees Emergency Committee yesterday.\n\nThe Degree was also conferred upon 10 candidates \"in absentia.\"\n\nThe ceremony—the first held for four years—was without the usual pomp and splendour of former years, but was nevertheless impressive.\n\nIn an address the C-in-C, Hongkong, Vice-Admiral Sir Cecil Harcourt, said that every effort was being made to open the University for first-year classes in October. He also spoke on the importance of self-discipline which was, he said, the equivalent of civic sense. \"For it is only by the gaining of this civic sense that stable self-government can be achieved... Only in this way can genuine self-government be established in Hongkong and the people be prosperous, happy and free,\" he declared.\n\nThe candidates present were: Au Wai-man, Au Kit-man, Bun Pak-sun, Chan Sing-boon, Chan Wai-kai, Ho Hung-kin, Ip Yee, Lam Tang Wong Shu-kee, Leung Yau-shun, Li Hin-lun, Li Fook-kuen, Ling Tak-chu, Loke Choong-she, Look Mang-wai, Oh Kim-seng, Tong Hon-chiu, Tong Kwok-kee, Mook-foo, Wong Siao-bu, Wu Kay-hau, Yap Meow-foo, Yeoh Oon-thor, and Yu Shiu-on. Those honoured \"in absentia\" were: Cheung King-ho, Fung Kam-tat, Hooi Peng-kwan, Hui Kwan-lun, Kaan Sze-kin, Lam Yu-shing, Siu Ka-hee, Tan Kim-hoang, Tsai Kam-fong, and Yap Jin-yau.\n\nThe University lacked the machinery for awarding and conferring degrees. Obviously something had to be done about it. His Majesty the King in Council decided, just as less august bodies decide when in difficulties, that there must be a committee to deal with the matter.\n\nAccordingly, it was ordered that there should be constituted a Committee, to be known as the University of Hongkong Medical Degrees Emergency Committee. This Committee was empowered to exercise, in so far as they relate to medicine and surgery, the powers of the Senate of the University to determine what examinations and courses of study in other universities or places of learning should be deemed equivalent to examinations and courses of study in the University of Hongkong.\n\nAmong those present were Sir Shouson Chow, the Right Rev. Bishop R.O. Hall, Mr Leo D'Almada, Sir Robert Kotewall, Lieut-Col Wm Kay, Mr M.K. Lo, Dr and Mrs G.H. Thomas, Mr S.A. Gray (PRO), Col W.T. Ware, Mr Mok Kon-sang, Mr George She, Major D.F. Davis, Mr Chau Tsun-nin, the Rev. Frank Short, Major R. Lee, Major H.L. Ozorio, Mr and Mrs B.C.K. Hawkins, the Rev Cheung Wing-ngok, and a large number of University undergraduates.\n\nMembers of the University of Hongkong Medical Degrees Emergency Committee were Mr T.M. Hazelrigg (Chairman), Mr G.P. de Martin, Col J.P. Fehily, Col T.R. Rowell, Lieut-Col Gordon King, and Mr B.C.K. Hawkins.\n\nThe once Great Hall is a skeleton structure with only the bare walls standing. The window frames, the wooden flooring, and every vestige of woodwork have been looted. The roof has been removed and only the iron rafters now hold the walls together. Where flags and pennants hung on doorways, empty gaps now greet the eye.\n\n### Chairman's Address\n\nI wish to make it quite clear that each candidate for a degree must, as heretofore, have completed a five years' course of study at a University or place of learning, including at least two years at the University of Hongkong, and that no degree can be conferred without examination.\n\nThe principal function of the Committee has been to ensure that the course of study completed and the examinations passed by the candidates were equivalent to the comparable courses of study and examinations at the University of Hongkong.\n\nIn respect of each of the candidates upon whom degrees will be conferred to-day, the Committee is satisfied that the requirements of the Statutes of the University and of the Order of His Majesty in Council have been fulfilled.\n\nOne final point. It is particularly declared by the Order in Council that degrees conferred in accordance with its provisions shall be deemed to have been conferred at a Congregation of the whole University.\n\nShortly before 3 p.m., the Procession, headed by the successful candidates, and followed by Sir Cecil and members of the Emergency Committee, entered the Hall. The candidates took seats on either side of the Hall while Sir Cecil and the Emergency Committee took their positions at the official table, which was unadorned and without a covering.\n\nAfter he had declared the gathering open, Mr Hazelrigg said:\n\nWe are fortunate in having with us to-day Mr G.P. de Martin, who at one time acted as Registrar of this University and who is, I believe, the oldest surviving member of its Court. Mr de Martin has kindly consented to support the Committee, and I now call upon him to address the Meeting. (Applause).\n\nMr de Martin said: Before concluding this part of to-day's proceedings, it is my privilege to thank our visitors for their presence here. By joining with us in this necessarily truncated function, you bring with you a message of friendship and encouragement.\n\nThe events of December 1941 disrupted the lives of the undergraduates and called a halt to the activities of this University. Many of the undergraduates, however, escaped into China and pursued their studies in the Chinese Universities amid great difficulties. Some of the medical students, after passing their examinations, went on to render valuable services in their profession.\n\nWhen the dark days ended, the University career of these students was consummated by the conferment of degrees.\n\n### The King's Recognition\n(Continued on Page 8)",

        "content_text": "SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1950.\n\nMONGKONG UNIVERSITY CONGREGATION\n\n(Continued from Page 3)\n\nWhatever idea in this very place, in the Colony of Hongkong.\" freedom to the less remember your University is always here to help you in your problems; use her as much in your post-graduate life as you did before.\n\nSome of you are destined to become leaders of your fellow men, others followers. In your lives we do not expect you to accept slavishly and blindly what you were taught here, but having been taught to think, to discern, to discriminate, and to reason, we are confident that you are equipped to choose your own way of life. May you live wisely, remembering always our creed, what of many other equally heroic restoration of the playing field ever our standard of learning, exploits performed in China; surely in this year of grace 1950, lads who fearlessly penetrated occupied Hongkong: who lived for months in the hills over-looking Kowloon, where one magnificent gift of $35,000 towards the pavilion by Mr and Mrs Leung Yew. By September next, 80 of our 180 women graduates will be able to live in the new hostel built through the generous gift of one million dollars by Sir Robert Ho Tung.\n\nHe then went on to tell the audience, which crowded this Great Hall, how he got the idea. He said that during his studies, while at the College of Medicine in Hongkong, more than 30 years previously, after his school work and lectures, after his book reading, he used to stroll the streets of Hongkong, it being known to only very few people. About the middle of 1942 we were visited by an officer of the R.A.F, who was planning a secret mission to the Netherland Indies and Malaya. At this stage of the war such missions had hitherto never been attempted in the Far East; they were in every sense of the word penetrating and hazardous unknown. One of the reasons for the visit of this officer was to recruit a dependable companion. He chose Lau Teng-kee, one of our undergraduates.\n\nAttainments\n\nNow what of our attainments in the training of good citizens? In practically every profession, in practically every walk of life, that humility is the essence of wisdom.\n\nLau knew full well the measure of paper which was a scarce and valuable commodity not couched in a completed form. It is therefore fitting that the new School of Engineering and Architecture building, that I shall be opening later this afternoon, should be named after him: thus his memory perpetuated.\n\nAlthough Dr Sloss' departure was a loss, we were very fortunate in securing the services of Dr Ride as his successor. Apart from his capabilities and personality, is the fact that he has been with the University for more than twenty years, and so knows all our aspirations.\n\nIt is very pleasing to have with us to-day, the Chancellor of the University of Malaya, the Right Hon. Malcolm MacDonald. I warmly welcome him. The University of Malaya was inaugurated on October 8, 1949, on which occasion I had the pleasure of sending a message of greeting to the Chancellor.\n\n\"I also express with the united hopes of the Hongkong University, which is the university of this British Colony that is mainly supported by the Colony, but the services it renders far beyond our small confines. It is uniquely situated at the door of China and thus it brings to the people of China the best that British and western culture can offer. Our doors are open to entrants from China, as well as from Hongkong and Malaya. We offer them our facilities freely and we ask for nothing in return. This is in accordance with the vision of our predecessors. If we succeed in carrying out our aim, we will have done something to foster a mutual appreciation between the inheritors of two of the world's most important cultures. (Applause).\n\nThere are two reasons why the University has made good progress. First and foremost, I would put the inspiring leadership given by the last Vice-Chancellor, Dr Sloss. Time and again he wanted to retire but at my urgent request he carried on.\n\nThe second reason, why such good progress has been made, is that the University has many friends not only amongst the alumni, but also amongst the citizenry of Hongkong. Most public life in this Colony, you will find our graduates playing an ever increasingly responsible and honoured part.\n\nIn closing, I feel I cannot do better than quote the message of another Vice-Chancellor, Sir John Medley, at the University of Melbourne in 1940.\n\n... my wishes which are the University's wishes to you are particularly important, with the University's wishes to you are in the customary very welcome increase mere fifty miles, He thought of liberally to found and maintain the beautiful streets, the artistic parks and wondered why and faith is more than justified incredible difficulty of landing was stolen from its hiding place success and prosperity in all your There are two reasons why the University made good progress.\n\nWhat Better Proof? What better proof could one desire than this of the statement I made a few minutes ago that a University is something more than a mere teaching institution. It was not what he was taught here that made Dr Sun Yat-sen \"give up his profession of curing men and spend his time curing his country\": but it was the effect on him of the life he shared with others, his teachers and his fellow students, in a British institution of learning in a British Colony.\n\nAs Father Ryan said in his talk before the Rotary Club last November, the youth of our educational institutions is \"the most important export of our Colony.\"\n\n(2) There must be 101s Chinese who are shareholders of the company. I could easily find out what percentage of them are Chinese by looking at the shareholders' returns in their file with the Registrar or availing myself of section 98 (1) of the Companies Ordinance of 1932. But I don't care to take the trouble at the present. Since the Chinese are the main sufferers, they should make their voice heard at the shareholders' meeting.\n\nM. H.

E. the Governor said: What a period of tragedy the world has gone through since the last Congregation nine years ago. Although I say this in no sense of self-pity, we in Hongkong were certainly one of the major sufferers. Even to-day in this hall we can see the ruin and devastation of war.\n\nThe University had to be abandoned physically in 1941, its spirit carried on and the light of learning was not extinguished. This was only made possible by the kindness of our friends in China, who took in some of our students, and thus enabled them to continue with their studies.\n\nThe progress at first seemed slow, and as late as 1948, that is only two years ago, I said in an address to the Court that the University was then in the position that it was in 1916.\n\nPerhaps I was unduly pessimistic, for in fact the progress that has been made is quite remarkable. As an instance of this might quote the figures of the number of students. In 1941 there were 572; in 1948 507; in 1949, 620. This number for 1949 represents the complete faculties and Medicine, but still lacks two years of medical students.\n\nOur Medical Faculty this and next year, our undergraduate strength will be at least 800.\n\nThanks To Government\n\nWe acknowledge with grateful thanks the help of the Hongkong Government. This University is already been filled, and it is proposed that Government department; we have no claim for financial help that have no claim for financial help.\n\nMay I in conclusion now say a few words to those who are the youth of to-day's ceremony, our Graduands. It has always been a matter of wonderment and of not a little amusement, to me, that when our Chancellor declares the Congregation open for the conferring of degrees, the story of the exploits in Malaya of one of our former undergraduates, Lim Bo-seng, loyalty; as long as we maintain your graduation is but the end of one stage in the school; but there is a difference. While here you have had the protection and guidance of your academic mother but now you are equipped to stand alone. Never be victims of such evil to stoop so low but will act Courageously and with courage and resolution.\n\nDAYA KHANRA.\n\nNanette Ho Kam Tim-cheng.
