But failing this, such of the above questions as contemplate individuals repaying themselves by stoppage out of wages are inserted, and at \n\npassage any rate the colonies could hardly be expected to make a free gift of the home, \n\nEnclosure 2 în No. 12. \n\nMEMORANDUM respecting Chinese Immigration into the West Indies. \n\nboth out and \n\nBlackbrook, Monmouth, September 1, 1843. \n\nTHE Chinese within the Straits settlements, that is, Singapore, Maland, and Penang, amount probably in all to about 50,000, but to these must be added those in the Dutch settle- ments of Rhio, about 60 miles from Singapore, and who, as far as emigration is concerned, are just as available as those living under our own rule, for there is a daily uninterrupted inter- course between the parties, and in fact no distinction. I do not think these are fewer than 20,000. These Chinese settlers are not, as represented in the extract of a letter, all from Amoy, that is from the province of Fokein or Hokein; but from this province and that of Cantou, and the great majority from the latter. They were of course chiefly from the maritime ports of these provinces. A good many are from the island of Hainan, a poor but populous place. From the localities from which they issue, a great proportion are boatmen and fisher- and the kind of agricultural labour that the emigrants have been used to in their own country is the rearing of culinary vegetables and the culture of rice. The artizans among them consist in general only of carpenters and blacksmiths. They become hucksters, shop-keepers, and merchants only as colonists, and I fancy few of the emigrants have been of this class in China. Nearly all of them can read and write, and many are expert accountants with the aid of the San-pan. I know one very enterprizing merchant who had been for years a common porter. Having lived handsomely he died the richest man in Singapore. \n\nmen; \n\nChildren and women never leave China, in fact never leave their own localities, even when the men emigrate from one province or district of China to another. All the men are in the prime of life. No man brings capital any more than Irish labourers coming to England. Most of the emigrants come by the junks, and I have known a single junk bring 800. The number of junks which arrived at Singapore (they never go to Penang or Malacca) from the 27th of December to the 20th of April, 1843, and this embraces the whole season, was 111 of 17.000 tons burthen, and they brought 6,391 immigrants. Eighty-eight junks of 14,580 tons had the year before brought 6156 immigrants. Now these junks come from no less than 19 different ports of China, and nearly every one brought passengers, which indeed constitutes the most valuable part of the outward investment. European vessels occasionally bring \n\n16 Chinese immigrants, but the number is inconsiderable. In my time, some \n\nyears ago, the number of junks coming from China was about 12. The great increase has taken place since our occupation of the island in the bay of Amoy. \n\nThe Chinese settlers form matrimonial connexions wherever they go, and whenever they can, and in those countries to which they have been long accustomed to resort, as Java, Siam, and Cochin-China, a very considerable mixed population has been the result. These in the Malay language are called Peranakan, the nearest translation of which, although not quite a correct one, is Creole.\" All the Creoles are brought up as Chinese, and intermarry either with Creoles or genuine Chinese. They are considered as somewhat less industrious than the true Chinese, but over those they have the advantage of knowledge of locality, and the pos- session of two languages. \n\nAt Prince of Wales Island and Singapore there are a few sugar plantations in which the Chinese are the labourers; but to get labourers who will cultivate the cane, manufacture sugar, and distil rum, will not be a matter of the smallest difficulty, for the Chinese may be described as a sort of ambidextrous people who can turn their hands to anything. The provinces from which the immigrants chiefly come, Canton and Fokein, are the chief sugar producing ones of the Chinese empire. Besides this, the large sugar cultivation of Java, of Cochin China, and of the Phillipines, is understood by them. In Siam, and, I suppose, in the other places also, very high wages are occasionally given to foremen skilled in claying sugar, as much as 1000 dollars a-year, that is 2251. In the Straits' settlements generally, the culture of pepper is wholly in their hands; and at Singapore and the Dutch settlements the culture and manufacture of gambir, that is, a kind of terra japonica, which is largely produced for a masticatory among the eastern islanders, and of late years still more largely for exportation to this country to be used for tanning and dyeing. The same may be said of the manufacture of sago in the shape in which this article is now brought into the European market. Indeed, pearl sago was the discovery about twenty-five years ago, of a Chinese of Malacca. Now the cultivation and preparation of every one of these three articles is unknown in China, and they are consequently acquisitions made by the Chinese as colonists. In the same way they have become miners of gold to a large extent in Borneo, and of gold and silver in Tonquin; and both miners and smelters of tin in the Archipelago, of which last article the annual produce is at present probably equal to that of the mines of Cornwall, while it is a good deal better in quality. \n\nFrom the teeming population of China there can then be no difficulty in getting labourers in the prime of life, unencumbered by families, and fit to turn their hands to any employment, and this to any extent. But then comes the most difficult part of the subject; how their ser \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nvices are to be secured and remunerated. In the \"Extracts of Letters \"* their character is very correctly represented. They are a sober, diligent, industrious, intelligent, and money-loving people, without being a miserly one. From all the inconvenient prejudices of Hindostan they \n\nare wholly free. They like to make money, but they have not the faculty of hoarding it that distinguishes the penurious Hindoo, for they live more comfortably, and, when they can, more luxuriously than any other Asiatic people that I am acquainted with. They must be paid the full value of their labour, or otherwise there will be no making anything of them. In a word, they must be treated with the same consideration as any class of British labourers; if they are not, they become inevitably discontented, disorderly, and roguish. \n\nIn Singapore a Chinese labourer will earn as much as two natives of Coromandel, as three Bengalese, and as four Malays. In my time the wages of a Chinese day labourer, finding everything, used to be about 15 Spanish dollars a month, which, at 4s. 4d. per dollar, is 65s., or 321. 10s. a-year. But the labour market is now far better supplied, and wages are consi- derably lower. I shall suppose that good labourers may now be had at 10 dollars a month, which is equal to 211. 2s. 4d. a-year. Can the West Indian planter pay such wages? By one of the agreements contained in the \"Extracts of Letters,\" I perceive that a Chinese labourer engages to serve for two years at the average wages of 5 dollars a month; this is about 137. s. 4d. But we have to add lodging, suli fish, salt, and 45 lbs. of rice a month, with 20 dollars of passage-money and loss of labour during sickness. But all this is for the Mauritius, and not for Guiana or the West India islands, three times as far from the Straits of Malacca, and where the principal article of subsistence, rice-must be higher priced. \n\nI confess I entertain considerable doubts of the expediency of hiring Chinese labourers for the colonies, on the principle of an apprenticeship. My notion of the Chinese is, that they are industrious and diligent only when they are working for themselves, and see profit in the face at every \n\nhour of their labour. An experience of their character in this respect, hinders them from being employed on fixed daily or monthly wages in the Straits settlements, wherever it can be avoided. The Chinese labourer, who, working on his own behalf, or by job work for another, would earn 15 dollars a-month, I am confident would not produce to an employer 10 dollars a-mouth on day wages. But the experiment has been tried, or is under trial in the Mauritius, with 1000 labourers, and the result will be worth all the opinions on the subject that ever can be given. \n\nThere is another drawback against the employment of the Chinese in the colonies, or at least one that will exist for a number of years,--the want of a common language for commu- nication, and the necessity for employing interpreters. There are two distinct languages spoken by the Chinese ordinary colonists, not mutually intelligible. These are the languages of Canton and Fohkien, and in our courts of justice in the Straits settlements we must have two interpreters. These are always Creole Chinese, and communicate with us through the easy Malay, a language known more or less to all resident foreigners. In the West Indies there can be no such channel of communication, and until the Chinese shall have acquired a smattering of English, as they have at Canton, the expense and incumbrance of interpreters cannot be got rid of. \n\nI perceive by the Extracts of Letters\" that the cost of an emigrant's passage from the Straits of Malacca to Guiana is estimated at about 127., which is about 57 Spanish dollars. Now, to the best of my recollection, the cost of a passage in a Chinese junk from Canton or Amoy, which in the right season is usually made for the one in seven or eight, and from the other in ten or twelve days, is not above five dollars. It is evident therefore that the Guiana planter in some shape or other, must pay the difference. Filial attachment is one of the most laudable qualities of the Chinese; indeed it is a religious and political duty. All those who quit China as emigrants, do so in hopes of returning to their families, and to the tombs of their fore- fathers, although but a small proportion do so. In all the countries in which they have here- tofore settled, they have the easy means of doing this, of hearing from their families, and of remitting funds to them through the junks. Of those facilities they must necessarily be deprived in the West Indies. \n\nThe Commissioners are of course aware that the experiment of Chinese labour was once tried at Trinidad about 30 years ago and failed, but this was during the period of slavery and in war time, when it was impossible that the experiment could have had in any respect a fair trial. Chinese labour was then much higher than it is now, and the means of procuring labourers not comparable to the present. \n\nI \n\nagree entirely with one of the opinions which seems to be implied by the Commissioners in their queries, that by far the most eligible plan will be for the Colonial Governments to take the matter wholly into their own hands, paying the passage money of the emigrants and leaving them on their arrival in the colony at perfect liberty to engage in any kind of labour, and on any terms they think proper. It is not necessary that the whole expenditure made on this account should be sacrificed. Each emigrant before embarkation may be called on to sign a personal bond payable within a reasonable stated time, for reimbursement of at least a portion of the fund advanced for his passage. As to the Government or private parties paying for the return passage, I think such an arrangement, except in very peculiar cases, will be inexpedient. The Chinese will certainly in great numbers, should the project as a labour scheme succeed, settle permanently in the West Indies, and a passage-money of 101. or 12. \n\n* Letters submitted by the West India Committee to Lord Stanley. \n\n† When pepper was extensively cultivated on Prince of Wales Island, the European owner of the land had the forest cleared by contract, and the vines planted by contract, and when the vines came into bearing, the plantation was farmed to the Chinese from year to year, on payment of a specific quantity of pepper. Any other plan would have ruined the capitalist.. \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nH",

        "content_text": "HONG KONG.\n\n8\n\nREPORTS EXHIBITING THE PAST AND PRESENT\n\nnot peculiar to this place. In illustration of this opinion, I will place in juxtaposition with a case and his remarks given by Dr. Gordon, a case recorded in Johnson's work on \"Tropical Climates,\" by Mr. Shields, which occurred in Batavia, in the month of August, 1800, together with that gentleman's remarks.\n\nMr. Shields' Statement. \"Never was there a disease so deceitful as this fever. I have frequently seen instances where every symptom was so favourable that I could have almost pronounced my patient out of danger; when, all at once, he would be seized with restlessness, black vomiting, delirium, and convulsions, which in a few hours would hurry him out of existence!\n\n\"This was the case with Mr. Broughton, purser of the Daedalus, who died of the Batavian endemic at Edam hospital. On the seventh day of his illness he took a change for the better, and everything was promising. The morning before he died he expressed himself greatly relieved, and called for some mutton broth and sago, both of which he ate with a good appetite, spoke rationally, and was in good spirits. Towards evening the delusion vanished; restlessness, black vomiting, delirium, and convulsions supervened, and carried him off before morning!\"\n\nDr. Gordon's Statement. \"The fever was of a very malignant and insidious character, the symptoms changing for the worse suddenly, and without warning either to the medical attendant or the patient himself, although often visited, and apparently much improved, both in feeling and appearance, half an hour previous to his death; when he would suddenly become strongly convulsed, his skin intensely hot and dry, the surface assuming a livid hue; thus the scene would close!\n\nColour-sergeant Staley, a stout, healthy young man, was admitted on the morning of the 17th of June, in the cold stage of intermittent fever; and in about six hours had gone through all the stages of the disease. When the intermission occurred, quinine was exhibited. On the 18th he declared himself as feeling quite well, and was apyretic, his pulse not indicating even the slightest constitutional irritation.\n\nAbout 4 P.M. on the 19th, I was called to see him, and found him comatose and convulsed, with lividity, intense heat, and dryness of the skin. Death closed the scene in a few minutes!\"\n\nThe concourse of many people, during the reign of epidemic influence, gives pestilential violence to the disease. The emanations from the sick bodies will often precipitate a disease that may have remained dormant, or passed away in very safe paroxysms. There can be little doubt that many cases went into the Military Hospital last summer, to receive the inoculation of death from the contaminated atmosphere of the crowded wards, which would have terminated in recovery elsewhere.\n\nNot only were the deadly emanations from concentrated disease ready to receive the patient, but his mind wandered to the crowded dead-house, and the prognosis of his own fate struck his mind at the same moment. This, in the majority of cases, was too faithful! How much it is to be regretted that there occurred any impediment to the prompt and efficient fulfilment of Dr. Fergusson's recommendation, at the earliest assaults of the disease, to isolate the cases, and to convey the uninfected men from contact with the diseased, by placing them in a floating hulk.\n\nWhat were the immediate causes of the prevalence of disease during the last summer, and especially of that disease which decimated the 95th Regiment? It has been popularly conceived that the removal of earth, near the barracks, undisturbed since the Plutonic origin of this island, did all the evil. Why then did the disease remain so long undeveloped after the evolution of its imputed cause? the precise nature of which I never heard explained. Was it a gas confined within the cells of the earth, in itself innocuous, and rendered poisonous by contact and combination with the free gases floating in the external air? The supposition is ungeological. The light of a little science will show the glimmering of causes more rational than that.\n\nPage 65\n\nElectricity \"exerts a most powerful influence upon the whole of the animal and vegetable world, and this not merely through the meteorological processes, precipitations of watery vapour, of acids, or of ammoniacal compounds which it occasions; but also immediately as the electrical force, that force which excites the nerves, and occasions or assists the circulation of the \"juices.\"\n\nThe latitudes in which we live are peculiarly liable to thunder-storms, and the congregation of small islands, like those in these waters, surrounded by an extensive ocean, acts peculiarly on the atmosphere, and gives occasion to thunder-storms.\n\nIf those places in which lightning is common be compared with regions like Peru, where it is never seen, it will be found that evidences of the salubriousness of the latter are much greater than of the former.\n\nThe prevalence of electricity may be one of the proximate causes of local disease.\n\nIn the rear of the south range of the Hong Kong barracks there is swampy ground, saturated by the sluggish absorption of moisture from the gully above, and by occasional torrents, the waters of which rest on the surface of the table-land which terminates the ravine. This gully for many months was thickly colonized by Chinese workmen in temporary huts, whose filth descended and remained stagnant on the point alluded to, from which free gases would be perpetually evolved, ready to be elaborated into poisonous compounds, by a favourable stroke of electricity.\n\nEpidemic diseases, however, do not necessarily derive their origin from external causes. The relative failure in the perfection of organic functions in an individual will give rise to unwholesome secretions and effluvia, which, coming in contact with the susceptible and favourable organism of another, may be the means of originating and propagating an epidemic.\n\nThe geological circumstances of this colony in many respects resemble that early condition of the globe which was suited only to living organization of a very low type. It is a mass of granite, disengulphed from the centre of the earth by ancient Plutonic causes. It is little to be wondered at that such a surface, affording no scope for that beautiful reciprocity which is so mutually beneficial between animal and vegetable respiration, and yielding only or chiefly such vegetable productions as are not refreshed by the fertilising existence and economy of herbivorous animals, but renewing itself by its own periodical decomposition, should possess abundant sources of unwholesome exhalations. While it is painful to reflect that these numerous sources of disease envelop us, it is gratifying to know that every step in the progress of civilization and refinement is a powerful antidote. In the planting of trees and shrubs, to unload the atmosphere of the carbonic acid gas, which is the product of animal respiration, and to replenish it with oxygen, which sustains and invigorates us, as well as to afford shade from the sun and a surface for the absorption of the intense rays of light conveyed to the brain through the eyes, which, not less than the direct rays of the sun's heat, tend to injure that organ, we discover a simple remedy more or less at the command of every inhabitant. The Government is called upon also to promote sanitary measures by causing the various hollows, receptacles of decomposing filth, about the town to be filled up, by covering over the great central drains, whence emanate sickly effluvia, and by planting the waste grounds in places where the plantations would afford shade and shelter. I would especially recommend the planting of the flat behind the barracks, the slopes round the church, and the Government offices, and below the general's house, which on the one side would break the strong gusts that sweep down the gully, and on the other shade the barracks from the rising and mid-day sun.\n\nIt has long been in contemplation to erect a \"Sanitarium\" on the hill, below the Victoria peak. The first impression of this scheme may strike a person as absurd. Attention to the following facts will clearly show, I hope, that the idea was based upon sound reason. At Penang, Singapore, and Madeira, such an institution has been erected, or contemplated, on very great elevations.\n\nThe most prevalent diseases in Hong Kong are fevers of the remittent and intermittent type, dysentery, and rheumatism. There are no circumstances so favourable for the development of either of those diseases as excessive atmospheric heat and great humidity. It has been established as a meteorological fact, admitting of no doubt, that the quantity of humidity existing in the atmosphere, as well as the temperature, diminishes with elevation. On the slopes of the Andes this fact is most apparent. On an altitude of 242 feet above the level of the sea the temperature falls one degree. In advancing one degree to the north, the same result is obtained. Thus an ascent of 242 feet is, as respects temperature, equal to a degree of latitude. In great altitudes there exist strata of climates. The citizens of the Andes may, by a comparatively short ascent, experience at pleasure every season of the most favoured climates. When it is remembered what are the invigorating effects of \"change of air\" on the attenuated constitution, it will be at once conceded that such facilities of obtaining it constitute a great privilege.\n\nPage 9\n\nSTATE OF HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.\n\nHONG KONG,",

At some stations, like, for instance, the Australian Colonies, all victualling stores are certainly supplied by the Commissariat for naval purposes; but the issues are confined to perhaps two or three small vessels in the course of a year, and conducted under the Commissariat regulations, which are drawn up with reference to military authority alone; while at this station there are now one line of battle-ship, one frigate, three war-steamers, four or five sloops of war, a store-ship, and one for hospital purposes, with a naval Commander-in-chief, who, together with the Lords of the Admiralty, might not in transactions of such magnitude and importance as must thus arise, like to depend altogether upon any department not under their own immediate authority and control.\n\nI have, &c.

Had this simple test been trusted and applied, Ireland would not have been decimated by the potato famine; nor, were it believed in at home, would unwise mothers tantalise hungry infants with meagre arrowroot, or unwise farmers, attracted by its cheapness, diet their horses upon sago; neither would mysterious noblemen advertise their restoration to health through assimilation of costly packets of Revalenta Arabica.\n\nAgain as to fuel. No doubt it is a nice question, What is coal? and somewhat hard to answer; but there is no difficulty in ascertaining whether a strange body is combustible, and if so, whether it is easily kindled, burns long, burns brightly, gives off much or little smoke, yields a large cinder, and leaves little ash.\n\nAND COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE,\n\n31\n\nAs for clothing materials, if they are of vegetable origin, the strength, tenacity, softness, lustre, colour, and durability of the textile fibres can be tested by simple and decisive means; and the hair, wool, or fur of animals is not more difficult to gauge, so far as its textile and felting characters are concerned. The essentials of a good building-stone may be counted on the fingers of one hand, and although prolonged trial often reverses summary judgments upon mineral masses, we can always at least distinguish a bad from a very good stone, and appraise with some nicety the blocks from every quarry.\n\nThe qualities of timber are not recondite or mysterious. As for the metals, the most valuable are the most easily detected. The softness, yellow lustre, abiding splendour, and insolubility of gold; the quickly tarnished paleness of silver; the liquid silveriness of mercury; the obtrusive density of platina; the magnetic characters of iron ore; the striking colour of ores of copper; the prominent crystals of ores of lead, forbid their escape from keen eyes. Each, indeed, of the great classes of industrial materials has qualities with which any moderately sagacious, and sufficiently patient observer may soon become familiar.\n\nIn proof of this, look at the astonishing amount of information concerning the resources of a strange\n\n514",

One Chinese chih is held to equal fourteen and one-tenth inches English; and four yards English less three inches, to equal one chang.\n\nRULE 5.-Regarding certain Commodities heretofore Contraband.\nThe restrictions affecting trade in opium, cash, grain, pulse, sulphur, brimstone, saltpetre, and spelter are relaxed, under the following conditions:\n\n1. Opium will henceforth pay thirty taels per picul import duty. The importer will sell it only at the port. It will be carried into the interior by Chinese only, and only as Chinese property; the foreign trader will not be allowed to accompany it. The provisions of Article IX of the Treaty of Tien-tsin, by which British subjects are authorized to proceed into the interior with passports to trade, will not extend to it, nor will those of Article XXVIII of the same Treaty, by which the transit-dues are regulated; the transit-dues on it will be arranged as the Chinese Government see fit; nor in future revisions of the Tariff, is the same rule of revision to be applied to opium as to other goods.\n\n2. Copper Cash.-The export of cash to any foreign port is prohibited; but it shall be lawful for British subjects to ship it at one of the open ports of China to another, on compliance with the following Regulation: The shipper shall give notice of the amount of cash desired to ship, and the port of its destination, and shall bind himself, either by a bond with two sufficient sureties, or by depositing such other security as may be deemed by the Customs satisfactory, to return, within six months from the date of Clearance, to the collector at the port of shipment, the certificate issued by him, with an acknowledgment thereon of the receipt of the cash at the port of destination, by the collector at that port, who shall thereto affix his seal; or, failing the production of the certificate, to forfeit a sum equal in value to the cash shipped. Cash will pay no duty inwards or outwards; but a freight or part freight of cash, though no other cargo be on board, will render the vessel carrying it liable to pay tonnage-dues.\n\n3. The export of rice and all other grain whatsoever, native or foreign, no matter where grown or whence imported, to any foreign port, is prohibited; but these commodities may be carried by British merchants from one of the open ports of China to another, under the same conditions in respect of security, as cash, on payment at the port of shipment of the duty specified in the Tariff.\n\nNo import duty will be leviable on rice or grain; but a freight, or part freight of rice or grain, though no other cargo be on board, will render the vessel importing it liable to tonnage-dues.\n\n4. Pulse. The export of pulse and bean-cake from Tang-chau and Newchwang, under the British flag, is prohibited. From any other of the open ports they may be shipped, on payment of the tariff duty, either to other ports of China, or to foreign countries.\n\n5. Saltpetre, sulphur, brimstone, and spelter, being munitions of war, shall not be imported by British subjects, save at the requisition of the Chinese Government, or for sale to Chinese duly authorised to purchase them. No permit to land them will be issued until the Customs have proof that the necessary authority has been given to the purchaser. It shall not be lawful for British subjects to carry these commodities up the Yang-tsze-kiang, or into any port other than those open to the seaboard, nor to accompany them into the interior on behalf of Chinese. They must be sold at the ports only, and, except at the ports, they will be regarded as Chinese property.\n\nInfractions of the conditions, as above set forth, under which trade in opium, cash, grain, pulse, saltpetre, brimstone, sulphur, and spelter, may be henceforward carried on, will be punishable by confiscation of all the goods concerned.\n\nRULE 6-Liability of Vessels entering Port.\nTo the prevention of misunderstanding, it is agreed that the term of twenty-four hours, within which British vessels must be reported to the Consul under Article XXXVII of the Treaty of Tien-tsin, shall be understood to commence from the time a British vessel comes within the limits of the port; as, also, the term of forty-eight hours allowed her by Article XXX of the same Treaty to remain in port without payment of tonnage-dues.\n\nThe limits of the ports shall be defined by the Customs, with all consideration for the convenience of trade, compatible with due protection of the revenue; also the limits of the anchorages within which lading and discharging is permitted by the Customs; and the same shall be notified to the Consuls for public information.\n\nRULE 7-Transit Dues.\nIt is agreed that Article XXVIII of the Treaty of Tien-tsin shall be interpreted to declare the amounts of transit dues legally leviable upon merchandise imported or exported by British subjects, to be one half of the tariff duties, except in the case of the duty-free goods liable to a transit-duty of 20 per cent ad valorem, as provided in Article II of these Rules.\n\nMerchandise shall be cleared of transit dues under the following conditions:\n\nIn the case of Imports.-Notice being given at the port of entry, from which the imports are to be forwarded inland, of the nature and quantity of the goods; the ship from which they have been landed; and the place inland to which they are bound, with all other necessary particulars, the Collector of Customs, will on due inspection made, and on receipt of the transit duty due, issue a transit-duty certificate. This must be produced at every barrier station, and vised. No further duty will be leviable upon imports so certificated, no matter how distant the place of their destination.\n\nIn the case of Exports.-Produce purchased by a British subject in the interior will be inspected, and taken account of, at the first barrier it passes on its way to the port of shipment. A memorandum, showing the amount of the produce, and the port at which it is to be shipped, will be deposited there by the person in charge of the produce; he will then receive a certificate, which must be exhibited and vised at every barrier, on his way to the port of shipment. On the arrival of the produce at the barrier nearest the port, notice must be given to the Customs at the port, and the transit dues due thereon being paid, it will be passed. On exportation the produce will pay the tariff duty.\n\nAny attempt to pass goods inwards or outwards, otherwise than in compliance with the rule here laid down, will render them liable to confiscation.\n\nUnauthorised sale, in transitu, of goods that have been entered as above for a port, will render them liable to confiscation. An attempt to pass goods in excess of the quantity specified in the certificate, will render all the goods of the same denomination named in the certificate, liable to confiscation. Permission to export produce, which cannot be proved to have paid its transit dues, will be refused by the Customs, until the transit dues shall have been paid. The above being the arrangement agreed to regarding the transit dues, which will thus be levied once and for all, the notification required under Article XXVIII of the Treaty of Tien-tsin, for the information of British and Chinese subjects, is hereby dispensed with.\n\nRULE 8.-Foreign Trade under Passport.\nIt is agreed that Article IX of the Treaty of Tien-tsin shall not be interpreted as authorising British subjects to enter the capital city of Peking, for purposes of trade.\n\nRULE 9.-Abolition of the Meltage Fee.\nIt is agreed that the percentage of one tael two mace, hitherto charged in excess of duty payments, to defray the expenses of melting for the Chinese Government, shall be no longer levied on British subjects.\n\nRULE 10.-Collection of Duties under one System at all Ports.\nIt being, by Treaty, at the option of the Chinese Government to adopt what means appear to it best suited to protect its revenue, acting on British trade, it is agreed that one uniform system shall be enforced at every port.\n\nThe high officer appointed by the Chinese Government to superintend foreign trade, will, accordingly, from time to time, either himself visit, or will send a deputy to visit the different ports. The said high officer will be at liberty, of his own choice, and independently of any suggestion or nomination of any British authority, to select any British subject he may see fit to aid him in the administration of the revenue; in the prevention of smuggling; in the definition of port boundaries; or in discharging the duties of harbour-master; also in the distribution of lights, buoys, beacons, and the like, the maintenance of which shall be provided for out of the tonnage-dues.\n\nThe Chinese Government will adopt what measures it shall find requisite to prevent smuggling upon the Yang-tze-kiang, when that river shall be opened to trade.\n\n(L. S.) ELGIN AND KINCARDINE.\n\nSeal of Chinese Plenipotentiaries.\n\nSignature of Five Chinese Plenipotentiaries.\n\n15",

        "content_text": "# Ju 8870\n\n425\n\nKamo Hasjee thinks with $40 would be compensated: 10. The losses sustained by the bounders nearly all of whom are from the Colony appear to be overstated, and we doubt much if inhabiting such very low houses would be likely to have property of more than a few dollars in value.\n\nMeahomet Arab claims for damage done to his house, which is assessed above, and the loss of $257.25 by robbery. This sum he actually appears to have received from the Peninsular and Oriental Company about that time, and we are inclined to believe that his statement, although unsupported, is true.\n\nThe claims thus reduced are as follows:\n| Claimant | Damage to House | Other Property | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Chavez | $10 |  | $10 |\n| Sheik Morsdeen | $4.10 | $5 (Cooking Materials) | $9.10 |\n| Kamo Hadjee |  | $40 | $40 |\n| Moahomet Arab | $10 | $257.25 (robbery) | $267.25 |\n| Total |  |  | $357.25 (corrected from $4267.25) |\n\nIn conclusion, we are of the opinion that Captain Dunn's report of having \"every reason to believe that the statements respecting the damage were correct\" must have been made without any proper investigation or personal inspection.",

In Canton Silk there have been sales at 178. to 173. 6d. for fair to good market Tsatlee, with certainly more general inquiry for this Silk, very few importers, however, are found willing to accept these rates. Japan Silks remain firm at last quotations, and Deliveries are fairly good, without any new movement of interest. being from 1st to 13th inst:-China, 974 bales; Canton, 308 bales; Japan, 263 bales; Bengal, 276; total, 1,819 bales.\n\nLONDON QUOTATIONS-Nov, 15.\n\nCurss.\n\nTsatlee, No. I\nRed Peacock\n305. 6l. to 31s. 6d.\n\nYuenfas and Hatnin, Nos. 1, 2, and S\nTaysaam\n29s. 6d.\n\nKeying, Nos. 1, 2, and 3...\nLong Keel\n24s. 6d. to 24s. 9d.\n\nChinese Throwns\n\n23s. 0d.\n\n20s. 0d.\n\nMaibosh and Siuchu, Nos. 1, 2, and 3\n\n24s. 0d. to 25s. 6d.\n\n25s. 0d. to 30s. 0d.\n\n28s. 0d. to 24s. 6d.\n\nJAPAN.\n\nIdah, No. 2\n\n20s. 0d. to 27s. 0d.\n\nSodai, No. 2\n\n24s. 6d. to 25s. 6d.\n\nOshtu, Nos. 1, 2, and 3...\n\n25s. 0d. to 30s. 0d.\n\nKochin, No. 2...\n\n28s. 0d. to 24s. 6d.\n\nElchizen\n\n20s. 6d. to 24s. 0d.\n\nMashta\n\n20s. 0d. to 23s. 0d.\n\natehoji...\n\n20s. 0d. to 24s. 0d.\n\nCAMPHOR.--China has slightly declined; of 176 cases offered in the public sales about half has been sold at £3 15s. 6d. to £3 16s., and a small business has been done privately on corresponding terms.\n\nCARDAMOMS.-There has again been an absence of business in Ceylon.\n\nCocoa Nuts.-The market for Cochin has been firm, and sales of fine have been made at £38 15s. both privately and at auction. Ceylon is steady at the previous value; viz., £33 10s. to £35 15s. per ton.\n\nCEREALS. The market continues very dull, and there are no transactions to report.\n\nCotton. The advance reported last week is maintained, about 500 tons having changed hands at 20s. to 22s. per cwt.\n\nDRAGON'S-BLOOD.-Little doing; 29 cases lump offered in public sale were retired.\n\nEBONY.-Ceylon is still very scarce, no part of the supplies reported to be afloat having yet come to hand. Good quality is still quoted £24 per ton, but no transactions are reported.\n\nESSENTIAL OILS.-Aniseed steady; about 100 cases sold privately at 9s. 8d. down to 9s. for a few cases, since which it has slightly rallied, and there are buyers at a shade advance; 13 cases at auction retired. Cassia very firmly held. Nutmeg firm; 6 cases sold at 9d. Citronelle again dull. Cinnamon: Fine, scarce, and wanted. per oz. Lower, and dull: 75 cases at auction, only a few sold at 2¼d. per oz. Lemon Grass: Value nominal, and difficult of sale; 40 cases retired.\n\nGUMS.--Benjamin: Siam quiet; 20 cases at auction retired; Sumatra also quiet; of 62 cases offered, one-half sold; 2nds, dark to fair, £7 2s. 6d. to £8 2s. 6d. Copal: Cheaper and very dull; 80 cases offered and retired; small sales privately at 80s. per cwt. for good. Damar Quiet and cheaper 150 cases sold at 53s. 6d. per cwt. for good clean, but rather dusty and yellow.

The market for Manila continues weak, the supply being still considerably in excess of requirements; the small business done establishes a light decline in prices. Of 1,992 bales offered in public sale yesterday the bulk was bought in, fair to good raping at £47 to £48 10s.; about 200 to 300 bales sold damaged third to first class at £44 to £47, fourth class, £42 10s. to £43 5s.; inferior sound at £44 5s. to £44 15s. per ton.\n\nHIDES. At the last sales, somewhat contrary to general expectation, there was a fairly active demand for East India Hides for both home use and export, and rather over three-fourths of the quantity offered was disposed of. Former prices were well supported for nearly all descriptions, and for some of the most desirable piles of Dacca and North-Western slaughtered an advance of ½d. to ¾d. per lb. was paid. Singapore and Penang realised about former rates. Singapore and Penang Buffalo were in full demand, and generally brought full prices; Calcutta and Java were mostly bought in.\n\nHORNS.-Siam Buffalo firm at the last quoted rate, viz., 36s. 6d. to 39s. 6d. per cwt. for 3 lb. to 4 lb. Horns. Ceylon Deer also firm.\n\nISINGLASS.-The market continues firm, and at auction of 4 cases offered, a few only sold at 2s. 8d. to 2s. 9¼d. for middling Pipe; 10 bales Manila purse sold at 6d. to 8¾d. per lb.\n\nINDIA-RUBBER.-The market is very quiet, and in the absence of transactions of any importance prices are unaltered.\n\nJAPAN WAX.-There is but little doing, but the market is firm, and prices are well maintained; small sales of fine saucers are reported at £4 18s. per cwt.\n\nMusk.-Market steady: 51 caddies Tonquin at auction sold; fair selected, well-shaped pods part horny 34s. to 34s. 6d.; and rough and badly, fair middling 17s. 6d. to 18s.; 19 tins Grain sold, fine at 56s. to 57s.; dark at 48s. to 48s. 6d. per oz.\n\n[Nov. 18, 1872.]\n\nPEPPER.-Black has been very dull, and there have been only small sales, chiefly of Singapore, at 6d. to 6¼d., at which the market closes. White is also cheaper, having been with an extremely dull tone, quitted at 1s. 0d. to 1s. 0¾d.\n\nPLUMBAGO Ceylon of fine quality is very scarce, but mixed is dull of sale; 133 barrels in auction sold; dust, good and very good at 12s. to 13s. 3d. per cwt.\n\nRATTANS are scarce, and supplies would realise high prices.\n\nRHUBARB The market for China is steady but quiet; of 126 cases offered three-fourths sold; sundried root fairly trimmed and fresh small to large, 2s. to 2s. 4d.; duller coat and more mixed in size, 1s. 8d. to 1s. 11d.; inferior, 10d. to 1s. 2d. per lb.\n\nRICE Although there is no activity in the demand, there is a steadier tone observable in the market, and better prices have been obtained, especially for floating cargoes. On the spot Askoolie has been sold at 10s. 4½d. to 10s. 6d., old Necransie at 8s. 6d. cash, and Moulmein at 9s. 6d. ex quay. The floating cargo per Surrey, 1,200 tons Rangoon, has been sold at 9s. 6d. continental terms, the floating cargo, per Voltri, 760 tons Necransic, arrived off coast, sold at 9s. 3¼d. for a near continental port, and a floating cargo of 750 tons Moulmain at about 9s. 3d. ex ship.\n\nSAGO.-Market very quiet, and little business done. Of 897 bags offered, half sold at 16s. 6d. per cwt. for good small, and 17s. 6d. to 18s. for good large.\n\nSAPAN WOOD.-Manila and Siam steady; 55 tons Manila sold at auction at £8 2s. 6d. to £8 7s. 6d., for good wood, some damaged. Ceylon firm and in demand, but no offers have been made during the fortnight.\n\nSHELLS.-No business since the sales of the 5th inst.\n\nSPICES.-Chunamon: There is a steady demand for Ceylon and a moderate business doing at previously ruling prices.

Japan: No business done.\n\nSTICKLAC.-Siam firm; 82 cases at auction sold at £4 8s. 6d. to £4 9s. for good quality.\n\nSTAR ANISEEDS.-Market quiet, and there are no transactions to report.\n\nTAPIOCA.-The market has been quiet, and closes dull.

The Customs will only send an agent on board to inspect the goods.\n\nARTICLE XI.\n\nChinese produce entering Tonquin from the land side shall pay import duty in accordance with the French Customs Tariff, but all such produce intended for export shall be exempt from duty.\n\nShould the French Government thereafter frame a new Customs Tariff or Rules for Tonquin these shall be duly communicated to the Chinese Government, and if in time to come special duties shall be fixed in Tonquin upon certain articles of local products worked up into manufactures, or upon \"certified\" gold or silver, Chinese articles of the same description shall be similarly taxed upon importation into Tonquin.\n\nARTICLE XII.\n\nAll native produce passing through Tonquin in process of conveyance from one Chinese Frontier Customs to the other, and all native produce sent back to China from either frontier Customs by way of any seaport in Annam, shall pay the transit duty for Tonquin laid down in the French Tariff, but such transit duty shall not exceed 2 per cent. ad valorem. The above produce shall, after leaving Chinese territory, be inspected by the French Customs, who will issue a certificate, which shall contain a specification of the goods and of the number and destination thereof. The holder of this certificate will produce it at the demand of any French official en route, and also on arrival at the maritime port. With a view to the prevention of smuggling, all such produce shall pay the regular import duty in advance upon entry into Tonquin. A receipt for this duty will be issued by the French Customs, which will be presented for inspection on the arrival of the goods at the seaport or frontier Customs, as the case may be. The French Customs will then deduct the transit duty from the regular import duty, and return the balance to the holder of the receipt, who will thereupon surrender his receipt for cancellation.\n\nInasmuch as the arrangement for the transit of this native produce across Tonquin is a novel one, should proof positive be discovered that the merchant concerned has, with intent to defraud, made a false declaration of the description and numbers of the goods, or should their place of origin and destination be found not to correspond with the particulars given, the whole of such goods shall be confiscated.\n\nShould the merchant wish to pay to the authorities the money value of goods condemned to confiscation, he is at liberty to do so at a value arrived at with the French authorities.\n\nThe arrangement specified above for taxation in transitu shall be applied to all Chinese produce in transitu through Annam, that has been exported through any of the maritime Customs establishments to a seaport in Annam, and thence conveyed through Tonquin to the Chinese Frontier Customs.\n\nARTICLE XIII.\n\nThe following articles shall be granted a duty exemption certificate by the Chinese Frontier Customs, provided that they are found after inspection to be of bona fide foreign origin, are for the personal use of foreigners, and are in reasonable quantities:---\n\nGold and silver bullion, foreign coins, flour, Indian meal, sago, biscuits, preserved meats and vegetables, cheese, butter, confectionery, foreign clothing, jewellery, plated ware, perfumery, soaps of all kinds, charcoal, firewood, candles, foreign tobacco and cigars, foreign wine (beer, spirits), household stores, ships' stores, personal baggage, stationery, carpeting, druggeting, cutlery, foreign medicines, and glass and crystal ware.\n\nBut if such articles are not reported for inspection; or if they are clandestinely conveyed elsewhere, the same penalties will be enforced as those provided in the case of foreign merchandise.\n\nIf imported into the interior, with the exception of gold and silver bullion, foreign coins, and personal baggage, they will, in spite of the fact that they are for the personal use of foreigners and insignificant in quantity, pay an inland duty at the rate of 2½ per cent. ad valorem.\n\nChinese subjects passing the Tonquin Frontier Customs outwards or inwards will not be required to pay duty at the French Customs upon any money, personal baggage, clothes, jewellery, pens, ink, and stationery, books, personal appliances or articles of food they may have with them.\n\nAll articles imported by Chinese Consuls for their personal use will similarly be free from duty.\n\nARTICLE XIV.\n\nBoth Governments engage that neither foreign nor native opium shall be allowed to be conveyed overland across the frontiers of Tonquin and Yunnan, Kuang-tung, and Kuang-si for purchase or sale.\n\nARTICLE XV.\n\nThe export of rice or other grain across the Chinese frontier is prohibited, but if imported through the Chinese Frontier Customs it will be exempt from duty.\n\nThe import of gunpowder, shot, fire-arms, cannon, saltpetre, sulphur, and spelter, with all munitions of war, salt, or any articles destructive of morality, is forbidden under penalty of entire confiscation.\n\nMunitions of war procured by Chinese officials, or by merchants who have received special written authority to purchase such, must be inspected and duly verified at the Customs before they can be allowed to pass.\n\nThe Chinese high authorities will be at liberty hereafter, after consultation with the French Consuls, to pass arms and munitions of war through Tonquin across the frontier, and under these conditions they shall be entirely exempt from duty at the French Customs.\n\nSimilarly, the import is prohibited into Tonquin of all arms and munitions of war, together with any articles destructive of public morality.\n\nARTICLE XVI.\n\nChinese merchants and subjects, temporarily residing in Annam, who may be concerned in cases of homicide, revenue cases, or litigation generally, shall receive the same treatment as that accorded by France to the merchants and subjects of the most favoured nation.\n\nDisputes between Chinese subjects and French citizens or Annamese, residing at the places on the frontier open to trade, shall be jointly tried by Chinese and French officials.\n\nOffences, whether serious or trivial, committed by French citizens or persons under French protection at the places open to trade, shall be dealt with in the manner laid down in Articles XXXVIII and XXXIX of the Treaty of 1858.\n\nARTICLE XVII.\n\nIf Chinese subjects, at places on the Chinese frontier to be opened to foreign trade, who are guilty of any offence whatsoever against the laws of China, shall take refuge in French houses or on board French ships, or in the houses or ships of persons under the French protection, they shall not be harboured or concealed, but shall be given up to the Chinese authorities.\n\n[352]\n\nH\n\n217",

The officer Commanding the Sandpiper* is of opinion that this incident would have a good effect on the River.\n\n9. My submission No.582 of the 11th August 1899 will have acquainted their Lordships with my opinion of the necessity of another vessel of the \"Sandpiper\" class for patrolling the West River. The \"Tweed\" is available for service between Fuch-au and Samshui, but has too great a draught for navigating in safety the numerous creeks and canals between Samshui and Canton.\n\n10. A second or third vessel patrolling these rivers would certainly have a good effect, though their movements would probably be watched, and advantage taken of their being in another part of the River for any attacks to be made on vessels. Still, it should decrease the evil,\n\n11. To effectually Police the North and West Rivers, relieving China of her responsibilities in this respect, would take more vessels than are at my command of a suitable type, and I think would be perhaps better, certainly more cheaply, done by a Water Police Force stationed at the various ports, with fast steam boats at their disposal. The Governor of Hong Kong has had this matter under his consideration, and if so ordered, I would submit a scheme in agreement with him.\n\n12. The trade of China now suffers as much as ever from the lawlessness that prevails and which it is of course really the duty of China to suppress, if she pretends to Sovereign Rights.\n\nI have etc.,\n\n(ed).\n\nB.H.SEYMOUR.\n\nVice Admiral.\n\nPage 100\n\n-end tape no Bometungo nima to su bearrotat tomovon eft .2\n\n#\n\n...",

The present moment my Lord, is a most favourable opportunity of enquiring into my abilities and moral worth, should you think of transfering me elsewhere, and I would respectfully beg to refer your Lordship to Sir John Worrell Carrington- our former Chief Justice, also to Sir William Meigh Goodman our present Chief Justice, and also to Mr Justice Wise, the Puisne Judge, all of whom, so far as I am aware, will be in England",

To myself, knowing the Viceroy as I do, the result was no surprise; but I was not quite prepared for his wiring up to his taotai so readily. He defended this telegram and repudiated entirely the Agreement of 1899. He talks of constructing a line with Chinese capital, but seeing that his Treasury does not possess enough cash to pay the small debt due to the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, I do not see when he can get the money; for it is notorious that native bankers have all refused to subscribe.\n\nFor a remark the Viceroy made, it strikes me that he trusts entirely to a sort of *deus ex machina* to show himself the master.\n\n14. \nYs Suisenty Jamo-Sent. \nSept.",

I was\n\nabsent eight months in 1899-1900, and of the less than six\n\nmonths had in Great Britain, I spent three in the special\n\nstudy of Bacteriology in Edinburgh University, and two in the London Tropical School, certificates of which I at the time\n\nsubmitted for information.

In fact the matter was one of uncertainty. As events have shown they have to live at Kowloon for the good of the work and communication with the Government, and within reasonable limits they may be held to have taken the risk of this obligation. But when the dearness of quarters at Kowloon is considered amounting to from 16 to 20 per centum of their income it appeared to us a case of hardship which should be met and we accordingly recommended that about one half of their rent should be defrayed by the Government. \n\n7. \nWith regard to the second point, we think it should be remembered that those employed on the construction of the Railway only hold a temporary appointment and accordingly receive a higher salary than those holding a permanent position. Further, it should be remembered that those holding a permanent Government appointment qualify for a pension while those holding only a temporary one do not. \n\n8. \nWe therefore repeat our recommendations; first, that Mr. Eves be granted a House Allowance of £100 per annum, secondly, that those members of his staff resident in Kowloon should be granted an allowance of £60 per annum, and thirdly, that no rent should be charged for the temporary quarters which have been assigned to those members of the staff working up country.",

The correspondence on this subject took place in September, 1906.\n\n6.\n\nI have on previous occasions referred Your Excellency to what I consider the state of stagnation into which the Supreme Court had been allowed to fall. (I allude specially to the concluding paragraph of my letter of 7th February, 1908). I have been trying to restore it to the position in which it ought to hold in so wealthy a Colony, and with it to obtain for the Judges more consideration from the Government than it has been hitherto customary to accord to them. I have little doubt that this unfortunate minute of Sir G. Phillippo, and the still more unfortunate construction that has been placed upon it, have had a large share in bringing about the state of things which I have endeavoured to report to Your Excellency. The question is so important that I have the honour to request that Your Excellency will be good enough to grant me an interview in which I can go more fully into the question than is possible in a letter,\n\n## Excellency \n\nSir Frederick Lugard, K.C.M.G., Governor of Hongkong.\n\nI have etc..\n\n(sd.)

This deals with the running powers across A's line and the rights obtainable under such powers; but now arises the question of terminal services.\n\nB in getting running powers gets them over and across A's line, it gives B no right to book traffic under such an agreement to points between the junction and the terminus, all that is A's traffic and B may not book it except by A's permission and at A's own terms.\n\nThis deals with traffic of B that can be dealt with en route, and at the terminal with the existing facility that A has created, or would create for its own traffic, but if B's traffic is such that A cannot deal with it at the terminus with its existing or intended appliances and facilities, B must pay A an additional amount to the 80 or 85% for these extra facilities; such extra charges are generally represented by a terminal on the traffic which is limited to the freights on 3 miles, or what is better B should either create its own terminal facilities or if it cannot do that, participate in the capital expenditure necessary for the extra terminal facilities, and ask that the management of them be a joint matter.

        "content_text": "# Rules regarding Transit, Re-export, Duty-free Articles, Prohibited Articles, Passenger's Luggage, and Postal Parcels\n\n## Transit\n\nArt. 46. If, upon examination at the place of accident, or at the leaving Customs, the cargo be found in full agreement with the documents, it will be allowed to proceed onward without hindrance.\n\nArt. 47. On the cars with damaged or lost seals, new seals are affixed at the place of accident with which they proceed to the frontier leaving Customs, proper remarks to the effect being made on the cargo documents. If a special Customs officer was sent to make investigation, in addition to the railway seals attached at the place of accident, Customs seals are attached by him also. In the absence of Customs officers, the cars proceed with railway seals alone.\n\nArt. 48. In case of shortage of cargo or disagreement with documents, the cargo is detained by Customs until the investigation explains the cause of shortage or disagreement of cargo. If the investigation proves misdemeanour on the railway (or a not sufficient protection), the remaining cargo is confiscated (and duty leviable on lost cargo exacted from the railway).\n\nArt. 49. In case of shortage, loss, or disagreement of cargo, caused through derailment or other uncontrollable forces (force majeure), the railway is not responsible vis-à-vis the Customs, but in all such cases, the railway must take proper steps to prevent pilfering, loss, &c., of the remaining cargo.\n\nArt. 50. If, in cases described in Article 49, it is intended to sell the remaining damaged cargo on the spot, Customs permission must be obtained beforehand. Import duty (and transit dues, if required) must be paid by the purchaser before the delivery of the sold cargo.\n\nArt. 51. In case the investigation proves the guilt of railway employés, the Customs concerned notifies this to the railway authorities for such action as will be decreed necessary, and the railway authorities inform the Customs of the decision taken.\n\n## Re-exports\n\nArt. 52. Whenever foreign goods are re-exported from China, the import duty originally paid is refunded in accordance with the rules followed by the Chinese Maritime Customs given below.\n\nArt. 53. Foreign goods which have paid import duty may, if re-exported from China within the period of three years from the date of such payment, receive refund of the import duty formerly paid in form of a drawback certificate.\n\nArt. 54. Drawback certificates are accepted by the Customs without deduction. If desired, they may be exchanged for ready payment of export and import duties, money.\n\nArt. 55. Drawback certificates are issued by the Customs within three weeks from the day of presentation of documents which establish the right of the owner of goods to a refund of duty, in case the goods prove to be in all respects in agreement with the description recorded at the time of importation, if they are in their original packages, bearing all the distinguishing signs and marks, and if the duty, the refund of which is requested, was actually paid within the specified term.\n\nArt. 56. Should the examination prove disagreement of goods and fraud be discovered, the goods will be confiscated.\n\nArt. 57. If the fraud be discovered when refund of duty is claimed on foreign goods, the Customs at its option either inflicts a fine not exceeding five times the duty the refund of which was applied for, or confiscates the goods concerned.\n\nArt. 58. Goods having for their destination one of the points inside the station areas and which have paid duty on importation may be transmitted to places in the interior upon presentation of an application to the entering Customs or the Harbin head custom-house, together with a receipt of custom-houses at the stations \"Manchuria\" or \"Pogranitchnaya\" in proof of payment of import duty, and upon payment of transit dues at the rate fixed in Article 3 of the present Rules. The Customs concerned, or the head custom-house at Harbin, after having verified the goods with the entries on the receipts in proof of payment of duty, and after having levied the said transit dues, issues to the owner of the goods transit certificates mentioned above.\n\n## Duty-free Articles\n\nArt. 59. The following articles allowed, in accordance with Article 14 of the Regulations for Land Trade of 1881, to be imported and exported duty-free will be passed by the local custom-houses without payment of duty, viz.: Gold and silver bullion, foreign coins, flour of various kinds, sago, biscuits, preserved meats and vegetables, cheese, butter, confectionery, foreign clothing, jewellery, plated ware (silver ware), perfumery and soaps of all kinds, charcoal, firewood, candles (foreign), tobacco and cigars (foreign), wine, beer, spirits, household and ship's stores, passenger's luggage, stationery, carpeting, druggeting, medicines (foreign), glass and crystal ware.\n\nN.B.--The Chinese hold that the duty-free list only applies to articles intended for personal use; those for sale are considered dutiable.\n\nWith the exception of passenger's luggage, gold and silver bullion, and foreign coins, the articles enumerated above when exported into the interior pay transit dues at the rate of 2 1/2 per cent, ad valorem.\n\n## Prohibited Articles\n\nArt. 60. The following articles prohibited, in accordance with Article 15 of the Regulations for Land Trade of 1881, to be imported and exported, if carried through the stations \"Manchuria\" and \"Pogranitchnaya,\" will be considered as contraband articles and liable to confiscation: Powder, shot, cannons, guns, rifles, pistols, and all kinds of firearms, military ammunition and stores, salt, and opium. Likewise, it is prohibited to export from China through the stations \"Manchuria\" and \"Pogranitchnaya\" rice and Chinese copper coins.\n\n## Rules regarding Passenger's Luggage\n\nArt. 61. Passenger's luggage is passed, after examination, duty-free.\n\nArt. 62. As luggage, are generally recognized all articles accompanying a passenger, whether intended for his personal use or required on the journey.\n\nArt. 63. Should there be discovered among the passenger's luggage articles prohibited to be imported or exported, they will be confiscated.\n\nArt. 64. Dutiable articles carried among the luggage, whether of the nature of goods or in excessive quantity, evidently intended for sale, must be declared before examination, when questioned by the examining officer, otherwise the articles will be confiscated and the owner may be fined.\n\nNote.--In case of any changes made in the Rules existing in the Chinese Maritime Customs at the ports regarding luggage, these will also be extended to the Chinese Customs established after the pattern of the latter at the terminal points of the railway.\n\nArt. 65. The examination of passengers and their luggage arriving from Russia will be carried out by the officers of the Chinese Customs in presence of a Russian Customs official, and if articles prohibited by the Russian law for exportation into China be discovered, such will be handed over to the Russian Customs to deal with.\n\nThe examination of passengers and their luggage proceeding from Manchuria into the Russian Empire will be carried out, in the presence of an officer of the Chinese Customs, by the Russian Customs. Should any articles prohibited to be exported from China be discovered, such will be handed over to the Chinese Customs to deal with. Articles liable to export duty will be charged duty on.\n\n## Rules regarding Postal Parcels\n\n### General Rules\n\nArt. 66. Postal parcels imported into and exported from China are, like other goods, subject to Customs examination and payment of duty, according to general rules.\n\nArt. 67. All regulations relative to duty payment at reduced rate, or exemption from duty, are equally applicable to articles sent by postal parcels from within or into the station areas.\n\nArt. 68. Postal parcels going in transit by railway are exempted from payment of import and export duties.\n\nArt. 69. Postal parcels are, besides import and export duties, liable to transit dues or li-kin, according to general rules.",

Dickson said that in the scheme\n\nbefore them too much was asked of employees of labour and\n\nemployees. The scheme was too rigid. He suggested some modification under which young men would be obliged to serve for a time in the Volunteers.\n\nMr. Keswick thought that what was required\n\nwas an effort to make the Volunteer Force more attractive. In\n\nShanghai men wishing to join the Volunteers had the choice of a large number of Companies to join. They also had the selection\n\nof their own Officers. Under the scheme before them the men\n\nwould be under the supreme control of Military Officers.\n\nmight be unpopular with the men. How was discipline to be\n\nenforced, he asked.\n\nMajor Hart-Synnot explained that while the\n\nmen were undergoing training they would be under Military Law.\n\nMr. Keswick said that fact furnished another ground of objection to the scheme. A man might by a petty offence render himself liable to punishment that might\n\naffect his employment.\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government\n\ndid not think the objection a strong one. No such difficulty\n\nas was indicated had arisen in the course of training the members of the Volunteer Force underwent.\n\nMr. Keswick replied that the absence of difficulty was probably due to the fact that the members of the Force in question were serving voluntarily.\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government said that he regretted extremely to find that there was so much opposition to the scheme. He reminded the Sub-Committee that everything possible had been done to induce men to join\n\nthe Volunteers.

It was referred by us to the Reform Council with instructions to consider and report on the subject, and acting on their subsequent recommendations We ordered that a bureau be established in the Board of Finance to examine into the monetary system of China. We have now perused the regulations drawn up by this Board for the reform of this system, as well as the measures they suggest for dealing with the currency now in circulation and We pronounce them sound and practicable and consider that they should be clearly promulgated for general information.\n\nThe basis of Chinese currency is hereby fixed as \"the dollar\", of which the standard shall temporarily be silver, and of which the unit shall be a dollar of weight seven mace and two candareens. Subsidiary coins shall be as follows: silver, fifty cent pieces, twenty-five cents pieces, and ten cent pieces; nickel, five cent pieces: copper, two cent, one cent, half cent and one-tenth cent pieces; in all three silver, one nickel, and four copper subsidiary coins. The coinage throughout is based on the decimal system, and bears a fixed ratio and value, which shall not be subject to arbitrary fluctuations.\n\nWe hereby command the Board of Finance to direct the various mints to strike at once the several new coins according to the prescribed weight, touch and design, and to issue these coins as soon as a sufficient quantity shall have been minted. They shall then be legal tender for the payment of all taxes, duties and likin dues whatsoever, and all government payments shall be made in the same. The Ta Ch'ing Government Bank is charged to co-operate with the various mints in devising a satisfactory method to smoothe over the transition period of the coinage system.\n\nWe",

That they would allow General Lung and his troops to march back to Yunnan. He would himself pay them all expenses. (This he did, issuing three months' pay in advance to each man, and the troops left for Yunnan yesterday). \n\n(c). That the Manchu and Bannermen were to be left in peace, and as they had no livelihood whatever beyond the small pittance from Government (which would now cease) they should be given government land and allowed to settle down as agriculturists; when they received this land they would give up their arms.\n\nThese conditions were accepted.

Canton has now accepted the general plan of the Revolutionary party if it succeeds in the North. If it does not he does not know what will happen, perhaps they may revert to the scheme of an independent Province.\n\nThe Governor then asked what were his present plans. He replied that vis-à-vis the Imperial Government he was a culprit, having failed to maintain law and order in his Province. On the other hand he was not acceptable to the Revolutionaries as he had declined their offers. He was yet a young man, and ignorant of many things, he proposed to remain here a week or ten days and then travel in Europe and study the art of Administration, and he hoped to be of service to his country in the future. He asked for letters of introduction in England which the Governor readily promised to give him.\n\nHe then said there was a question he would like to ask: What view the Governor held as to prospects of foreign intervention. In reply the Governor said he had no hesitation in saying that he felt certain that Great Britain would exert her influence very strongly against intervention, and would be strongly opposed to it.

Something seems to have been said on the alleged authority of Mr Noronha that there were mistakes on every page of my Volumes, and that the whole might have to be done again. What happened Mr. Noronha tells me was, that he was talking to *lementi and told him that typographical errors were not to be avoided. Mr. Clementi asked what he meant by typographical errors, and Mr. Noronha explained that it included among other minute slips mis-spelling of words, or letters out of place; then he added, \"If you insist on these being corrected you may have to reprint the whole book, because probably they occur on every page\". I do not think that the estimate is just but, although during my verification I noticed a good many, and corrected some in the corrigenda, I cannot charge my memory by giving an estimate. If there is to be a \"scrutiny\" time will show. But this is certain that if re-printing is undertaken you may possibly be able to reduce their number, because the printers themselves will be on their mettle, but eliminate them you cannot.\n\nIt will be convenient at this point to deal with what is supposed to be the perfect work, from a printing point of view, of Carrington's edition, as that has been referred to as the standard which ought to have been attained. Now in the first place it is not accurate to say that that edition is free from printer's errors, as I have come across a certain number. But there is certainly one important mistake, and one serious error. In the Code of Civil Procedure. on p. 757 \"Reference by consent of Court\" is printed instead of \"Reference by consent out of Court\"; and in e. 11 of No. 1 of 1845 the fine was printed as $5 instead of $50. But even assuming it perfectly printed, the conditions under which Carrington was printed must be borne in mind. One Volume was printed in London where they have trained proof-readers (often University men paid a salary of £300 a year), and the second Volume took two years to print. Mr Noronha himself read the proofs at the rate, so he tells me, of 8 to 10 pages a week, whereas it was essential work that the new Edition should be completed in a year, and we had to work at the rate of at least 8 pages a day. Mr. Noronha at first read the first proofs, but after a time finding that it took him away too much\n\nPage 706",

This will mean no immediate extra cost, but\n\nit will tend to keep men in the postal service for longer periods.\n\nFor the Sixth Grade Shroffs, I would recommend\n\n$240 to $360 and $360 to $420 on passing simple examination in\n\nEnglish. This causes no increase, and will make the men learn\n\nsufficient English for giving Registration receipts etc.,\n\nAs regards the postmen, I would recommend that the\n\nwhole system of service be altered. The initial pay of $10 a\n\nmonth and quarters is insufficient to attract the right class of\n\nmen. They lack knowledge of English, with the result that time and\n\nclerical labour is lost in translating addresses, and errors in\n\ndelivery are made. The better men, of long service, have shown\n\nthat they are capable of being used as sorters, and if postmen are\n\nable to rise to higher duties, with better salaries, better men\n\nwill be obtained, time will be saved, and the clerk class of\n\nsorters will be reduced or kept down in numbers.\n\nThe Postman Staff is at present as follows:-\n\nOne No. 1 $30 a month (This man will retire next year), one head\n\npostman $20 to $25, 4 marine stampers $13, one postmen $15, one\n\npostman $14, 2 postmen $12, 4 postmen $11, 85 postmen $10. All\n\nthe above (except the head postman) get $2 or free quarters,\n\ntwo men get $2 a month extra for attending to closed rails, all men\n\nexcept 57 who joined after June 1st., 1909, get extra mail money\n\non arrival of certain mails, and all get 25 cents a day extra\n\nfor attendance on Sundays and holidays.\n\n53 men have been in the service less than two years\n\nit takes a considerable time to train Chinese as efficient post-\n\nmen.",

But we think that it could be made so with the amendments above referred to, the more important of which we now proceed to discuss.\n\n(1) It is obvious that under the procedure proposed matters might be long delayed by a prompt refusal of one or more outside Powers to sign, or by delay on the part of outside Powers in indicating whether they will sign or not. To meet this we propose (our paragraph 4 A.) that if by December 1st 1912 the signature of all such Powers has not been obtained, the Powers that have signed shall send Representatives to the Hague to consider whether they may not nevertheless proceed to the stage of ratifications.\n\n(2) Having regard to the provisions of succeeding paragraphs there is no reason for requiring in paragraph 8 a gap of six months between the completion of the ratifications and the coming into force of the Convention. We propose therefore to reduce this to two months.\n\n(3) We propose to add to paragraph 9 a clause stating that the date at which necessary legislation shall be brought into force...\n\nOJ Juontajault rood over ow dolde (Jus Bo131ro",

G.W.

Ammonia smells \n\nwere carefully guarded against in order to save the reserve \n\nclothing which was not worn on the road, from its stench. A \n\nsturdy Japanese traveller, trying to get away from the stench \n\nof Ammonia, in very much the same circumstances as Mr. Hunter and the writer, was severely attacked by malaria, and he could not get rid of it until he was out on the road again. If we \n\nhad realised at that time how wholesome the stench of manure \n\nwas for our... system, we should have used it instead of coal. \n\nBut we rather dreaded its penetrating stench, that sticks to one's clothes and being, the smell of a horse-stable into every place in which one appears with such garments as we used on the road. Even our reserve clothing could not be saved from \n\nit. The delicate nose of the Russian Consul's wife was rather offended by the stench of Ammonia which we brought into her elegant parlour, and her pretty daughters pinched their tiny noses, smelling our clothes. I am sure though that the Russian Consul's family would have experienced a great uplift in their rather poor condition of health, being troubled with fever and other ills very frequently, if they had allowed the",

Five of the fokis on his Master's junk suddenly seized the junks arms, choppers and attacked the Master, inflicting five wounds with choppers on his head and arms. They then put the other foki, 7 in all into a hold and batten them down. They murdered the Master's wife, aged 42 years, and his son aged 20 years and threw the bodies into the sea.\n\nAfterwards taking possession of $170 in money and some clothing which were in the cabin, they then took charge of the 2 junks and sailed them to a place near Yeung Kong where they went ashore in the junk's dinghy.

The case was a poor one. I never said you could give them a receipt: I may have said they should have had a receipt; but I meant a receipt from the shroff.\n\nI don't know if you gave receipts. I did not know you were in the habit of taking fees in advance. I must say you were very good and very obliging.\n\nMr. Alim Khan now states.\n\nMr. Nisbet had knowledge of the practice that I was putting through these pauper cases and receiving fees in advance; he had full knowledge of the fact that I was handling cash monies in the Registry not only in small amounts but up even to $31,200. He knew of the difficulty of completing these poor cases so far as security was concerned and he knew many were outstanding for a long time for want of security; he always acquiesced in leaving these cases to be dealt with and put through as I liked. He knew that at the time the November Circular was issued I had been receiving fees in advance; he never told me Mr. Fletcher had reported to him the fact that I had been receiving money in advance: he never enquired, at that time or at any time, if I had any cash balances in these pauper cases. I was ignorant of the fact that Mr. Fletcher had made any report to Mr. Nisbet. When Mr. Fletcher spoke to me in an advisory manner he said that something ought to be done to prevent the public thinking that they were being squeezed and suggested that if a receipt was given for the fees paid by these poor people they would feel quite content; the word receipt being mentioned in its general sense and I not knowing if Mr. Fletcher meant an official or private receipt I adopted a system of giving them a rough receipt on a blue slip of paper and I also entered in the file a note of the fact of payment. The November Circular was issued by Mr. Nisbet after a report made to him by me after the Dutch Consul making a trouble about a receipt for stamps payable on a copy of a document from the Registry. I told him that if we had",

MA. \n\nTAHIL \n\ncame to the conclusion that I had received fees in advance in the case of Nam Ly Sing, deceased, from a note in my handwriting as to receipt of payment of money in the file in that case. And he further admitted that he would have come to the same conclusion if he had seen similar notes as to receipt of payment of money in other pauper cases, but that he did not remember seeing any previous to this note in Nam Ly Sing deceased, which is dated the ... day of May, 1913. \n\nI respectfully submit that this could not have been either possible or probable. Lot less than a hundred of these files must have been placed before him to be passed on to the Chief Justice by him for grants to be made. He admitted that although petitions in probate matters are initialled by the Deputy Registrar and Appraiser as correct he looks through them to see if the legal formalities are complied with. He further admitted that the fact that petitions are initialled by the Deputy Registrar and Appraiser as correct did not relieve him of the responsibility as the Head of the Department to acquaint himself generally with the facts connected therewith and to see that they were in order as a whole. This being so I would request the Committee to consider with what amount of care Mr. Hisbet must have scrutinized the Probate files placed before him to be passed on to the Chief Justice and in spite of all that he did not see any full sheet of blue foolscap paper with a note as to receipt of payment of money by me in any other cases except the case of Nam Ly Sing, deceased, and the last case that I had in the Registry. \n\nIn spite of the fact that he saw me receiving cash from pauper applicants and in spite of the fact that he often saw me in the Registry with half a dozen pauper people investigating and furthermore in spite of the fact that his suspicions had been aroused in November last as is alleged by him by a report from Mr. Fletcher, the then Deputy Registrar and Appraiser that I was receiving fees in advance, he never questioned me with regard to it. When he says that he subsequent to the report by Mr. Fletcher spoke to me about it but that he does not remember what took place",

If it is too late to do this, Macdonald & Co. are ready to change their route so as to go straight from Poseh to Wuchow, and in the interests of Hongkong trade this proposal should be strongly supported.\n\n3",

The term imposed in the Deportation Order, namely 10\n\nyears, does not seem excessive in the case of a man who up till\n\nlast year had been out of the Colony for over 8 years. According\n\nto his own account, he first came to Hongkong only a few months\n\nbefore his arrest and only for the purpose of emigration.\n\n8. The prisoner never asked to be sent to Macao on\n\ndeportation, and he was sent to Sham Chun at the request of his\n\nsolicitor, Mr.Crowther Smith.\n\n9.\n\nThough the following facts were not before the\n\nExecutive Council the prisoner is accused of the following\n\nadditional offences:-\n\n10.\n\n(a). Attack on a Yamen and murder about August, 1913.\n\n(b). Robbery on a trading junk and kidnapping of the\n\nmaster about November, 1913.\n\n(c). Robbery or larceny at a Roman Catholic Mission\n\nChurch in the neighbouring province.\n\nI add below certain detailed notes on the statements\n\nin the petition.\n\nPara. 2.\n\nNotes on statements in Petition.\n\nThe prisoner in his evidence at the trial said that he\n\ncame to Hongkong last year because he lost money in\n\nbusiness through fielda being flooded. ▲ man from his\n\nown district whom he called as a witness stated in\n\ncross examination that the prisoner was a farmer and\n\ndid no business. This may scam a smallpoint but\n\nbusiness and farming are two very distinct ideas in Chinese minds, and our suggestion is that the prisoner formerly lived in Hongkong and returned to settle here\n\nin the belief that he might safely do so after the\n\nlapse",

I was coming in at a speed of about 8 knots. The tide was against me. The tide was running about one knot. My actual speed would be between 7 & 8 knots. I think my ship would go astern about one minute after giving the order to go astern, i.e. after reversing the engines. When the second shot was fired, I stopped the engines; and at the same time that the third shot was fired the engines were reversed. I gave evidence at a Court of Enquiry held on the day after the accident.\n\n(Record of evidence read to witness). After the second shot I thought it was firing practice; and, when the third shot was fired, I thought it was for me to stop. It is not so that I gave the order to go astern first as the fifth shot struck the ship. It is not so that I gave the order to go astern after the fourth shot which struck a man in the bows of the ship. It was after the second shot that I gave the order to stop. I signalled to go astern about the same time that the third shot was fired. I did not tell the police on the 14th August that I did not go astern till after the 3rd round.\n\nI saw a launch going alongside the Empress. It had SAMO flags, but it was raining and the flags were drooping down. It was raining when the launch went alongside the Empress. I saw the Empress stop, I thought there was some dignitary on board the Empress and that the steam-launch was going to meet him. I did not think anything about the flags. I thought the first two shots were firing practice. After the second shot I stopped the engines. I did not think very much about the first two shots. I have an international signal code book on the ship. I did not hear any signals - sound-rockets, whistles or megaphones.\n\nMy evidence given at the court of inquiry was read over to me.",

Everybody in Germany knows that such an organisation free from British influence has long been felt a necessity to counterbalance the hitherto overwhelming force of British world news services, But, of course, the British wanting the world to see things from the British point of view that is all right; however, other nations, and most particularly Germany, wishing the world to look at things also from points of view other than merely British, that is \"international Blackmail.\"\n\nBritish indignation, at Germany's \"infamous proposal\" was given out the world over as the motto for which Great Britain was to take up her arms; but to quote George Bernard Shaw: The world is beginning to get tired of Great Britain's \"national trick of virtuous indignation.\"\n\nThanking you for the space, and enclosing my name\n\nSI Jeugui\n\nau jud bertol ytilaz‡ven asizleß dalt,taelo Bl\n\nBLAT\n\ned‡ yd boxes modi .browa eft gaiwath aistita jaerð tɔl eeusxe -vez a 'muigied to sejasnsug &'ynanzeð teɖtedy zobaɛɛadri ɑarted of hexɛs Titnegru ned·· ΘΙΩΝ ΠΟΥ ,00 ‚vialjse bluow y÷tIg*t \\ etate\n\nShanghai, September 16.\n\nI am etc.,\n\nF.F.",

Minister to acknowledge receipt of your letter of today's date regarding the proposed Samo-Wuchow railway.\n\nI am to inform you in reply that, on receipt of your letter of the 25th instant in which it was stated that \"the manager of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank will take up loan for Mangtzu-Wuchow line if we can secure concession on sound terms\", Sir J. Jordan telegraphed to His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong and to H.M. Consul-General at Canton for official confirmation of this statement. Replies have now been received and are to the effect that the statement regarding the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank is incorrect. H.M. Minister has also received official information that Mr Chater is not prepared to participate in financing the scheme under discussion and that Hongkong financiers would not in fact be able to find any considerable proportion of the sum required.\n\nIn view of the fact that H.M. Legation are debarred by their instructions from supporting any group to obtain Railway concessions unless convinced that such a group is financially capable of fulfilling their obligations, you will readily understand that Sir John Jordan is unable to take any steps to assist Messrs Macdonald until the firm in question have satisfied him that they can make other arrangements than those already stated to finance the concession which they desire to obtain.\n\nI am, etc.\n\nSigned **Thomas H. Lyons**.",

Texas Oil Company are dissatisfied with position as to Hongkong agency. If they remove agency from Sanders Rehders they will probably give it to Mitsui & Co. who as I understand have been given agency for North China formerly held by Jardine Matheson. It is very desirable to avoid this if possible and in dealing with Cheetham you should remember that Texas Company have confidence in him. Of course if you consider evidence that Cheetham is working for Reuter Brockelmann overwhelming he must not be allowed to retain agency but in dealing with situation you should take into consideration position of Texas Company and desirability of retaining this business for British Company. When the arrangements are finally settled it would be well to issue some public notice of the fact and whatever is decided as to Cheetham notice should expressly state that His Majesty's Government approve of the agency being carried on by Sanders Rehders and Reiss on the conditions laid down. This is desirable because rumours have reached Texas Company, New York, that these two companies are to be treated as enemy companies in Hongkong. I have no particulars as to composition of Reiss & Co. here. 22% of Sanders Rehders' capital held by enemies but business has been investigated and no evidence of illicit trade discovered.\n\nBONAR LAW.\n\nPage 208\n\n51\n\n208",

Unless there is a sufficient amount of money for dredging purposes, there should be no great difficulty in restoring it to some measure the status which it once enjoyed in the early days of foreign intercourse with China.\n\nThe arguments adduced in favour of a business and residential settlement to take the place of the city are also sound, more especially as a large tract of land on that section of the river front is in process of being filled in at the present time. It is not least to remark that, if carried out, it would not be beginning where quite different conditions now prevail, but continuing a development which has already overcome numerous obstacles.\n\nBarring no sentimental resistance, once the obstacles have been overcome, there is no reason to suppose that it would not turn out to be a most profitable investment, given proper support by steamers in lines trading to the river.\n\nThe idea is by no means new, either to the foreign community or to the Chinese. Certain firms have from time to time threatened to withdraw and establish themselves elsewhere, at Hongkong for example, to avoid what they considered oppressive legislation. The Germans too have at various times considered the advisability of breaking away from Canton and obtaining concessions elsewhere, with a view to future development.\n\nThe Kowloon Railway secured the right of linking up its line with the riverbank opposite to Canton, on condition that the projected railway to Yinkai would not usurp, in rehabilitating the riverbank, part of the water front.\n\nThe project, in the abstract, has water transport, and the proposal, `K.16`, already put forward...",

It has been possible to continue its work during the past three years only by borrowing for the purpose one of the dwelling houses in this Compound. This dwelling house will, are long, have to revert to its original use thus depriving the School of Class Rooms for the whole for the Lower School.\n\nDuring the past year there have been more than two hundred and twenty pupils on the School Roll. The number limit of three hundred for the new enlarged School is, therefore, likely to be reached in the near future.\n\nThis local Mission of the London Missionary Society, ventures to ask sympathetic consideration for the needs and claims of the School as an important branch of Educational work in the Colony, leading to a recommendation of the new scheme as deserving the most substantial aid which the Government can vouchsafe for its realization.\n\nI have &c..\n\n.zniales) lemma\" sit edhe at\n\nJI (E) ,deilprể ni gaidened add Indi hegod rødtrut e\n\n- od [við sIdene IIb mil melom no,dar sine autre na\n\nA ci șìlar starts nloorib2 10 orson 10 marzik orů stri\n\nE.

The Court has never in Hongkong sat in\n\nOriginal Jurisdiction on Fridays or Saturdays.\n\nThis leaves 4 days a week for such sittings, or 16\n\na month. Normally then the hearing would have concluded in 4\n\nmonths. Allowing for necessary intermissions such as vacations\n\n(Christmas, China New Year and Easter) total 25 days. Full Court\n\nsittings 9 days: Criminal Sessions 6 days: illness of witnesses\n\nand Counsel 4 days : say six months altogether.\n\nIn the ordinary course then the hearing would have\n\nconcluded at about the middle of June.\n\nNow as to the alleged prolixity of Counsel.\n\nA barrister is an educated man who specialises\n\nin the practice of advocacy by which he hopes to make a living.\n\nTo be successful he must be conscientious and hard working. Like\n\nall specialists he will have the defects of his qualities. If\n\nhe is prolix to no purpose, he very soon loses his practice.\n\nMr. Pollock. The two best advocates in the Colony Messrs. Sharp\n\nand Potter speak at considerable length in a case they consider\n\ndifficult: the first through excessive carefulness and anxiety\n\nto miss no point, the second from natural fluency. Mr. Alabaster\n\nis very much more concise in argument or in cross-examination;",

But it is a delicate matter to interrupt an advocate of great experience who has taken weeks to work up his case and is doing his best to present difficult points clearly and distinctly. I have never heard a judge break in on such a speech either here or at home; it would clearly be a vexatious practice.\n\nAgain it is very difficult when responsible Counsel are engaged and fraud is in question to cut short cross-examination. I do not think any judge would in fact do it. Counsel knows what his case is, and the Court does not. Very often an able cross-examiner will lead gradually up to a point he wishes to make by imperceptible degrees. This is the more necessary when as in this case the persons charged with fraud are educated men fully alive to the cross-examiner's purpose.\n\nThe cross-examination might have been materially shortened if Fr. Nolan had interpreted from the beginning. But he has always been attached to the Chief Justice's Court and he is needed there for Sessions: and it is troublesome to change interpreters when there are many references to documents, I began with Mr. Mackie who usually does my work. When he went on leave I continued with one or other of the Chinese interpreters. Since Mr. Jenkin's return I have had Mr. Nolan by special arrangement and the speeding up has been most gratifying.\n\nAfter Mr. Sharp retired from the case it became apparent that Mr. Jenkin would not be able to stand the strain alone. He showed clear signs of being overworked; and with all his promise he has still something to learn about framing questions to a Chinese witness, especially when the interpretation is weak.\n\nUndoubtedly had he been in better health or had more experience in this class of work he could, and would, have shortened his cross-examination considerably. But when an able man suffering from overwork and over-anxiety is doing his best, single-handed in a heavy case it is an insidious matter to pull",

In this instance it would have done more\n\nharm than good, and would have precipitated the collapse.\n\nAs a matter of fact I was so impressed with the\n\ndanger of a nervous break down, that I sent privately for Counsel\n\non the other side, and asked them, in view of Kr. Jankin's\n\ncondition, to allow him every possible latitude and to interrupt\n\nhim as little as possible; and I am bound to say that they showed\n\ngreat forbearance.\n\nAll this of course would be unnecessary at home,\n\nwhere, in a case like this, there would be probably four Counsel\n\non each side, and where there is a huge reservoir of barristers\n\nready to be drawn on. Here of course my preoccupation all\n\nthrough was that the proceedings should not fail for lack of\n\nCounsel to conduct them.\n\nI wish to insist (1) that this has been an\n\nexceptional case in the mass of evidence oral and documentary. (2) that the retirement of Mr. Sharp, the break down of Mr.\n\nJenkin, and the deficiency of the Official Receiver's security\n\nwere abnormal events which in the aggregate protracted the hearing for nearly three months. But for these untoward happenings it would have finished months ago. The alleged prolixity of\n\nCounsel is no new complaint in Hongkong. When I came to the\n\nColony in 1897 I heard exactly the same story. Sir John Carrington was then Chief Justice. The complaint was a general\n\none, but chiefly concerned Mr. Slače.\n\nSimilarly with Sir William Goodman and Dir Francis Piggott with reference to the same and other Counsel.\n\nThere are two sides to every question and if Your\n\nExcellency would sound the members of the Bar delicately on the subject of this case, Your Excellency would have an opportunity\n\nof hearing the other side.\n\nI have always prided myself on getting through my work punctually and expeditiously, and if this is true as a general rule, any exception here must be due to exceptional",

Colonial Secretary\n\nYou have asked for a statement from Mr. Reed with regard to the loss of 50 sheets of stamps in 1903. I attach one herewith. I also send you the original book in which you will see the entry which was made. I have circled it in blue.\n\nIt is difficult to be absolutely unbiassed in a matter in which one is oneself implicated but this business happened so long ago that I believe I am now quite unbiassed.\n\nIn the first place it is really impossible to lose 50 sheets of stamps. In hot weather if one were very careless and did not check the control numbers it would be quite possible to give out one extra sheet. Stamps stick together in the summer and care is needed in counting. But 50 sheets could not be lost, only stolen.\n\nAgain it is a fact that there was something curious about this consignment of stamps. The packing certificate said that there were 5,005 sheets while the invoice stated that there were 5,055 sheets. If the packing certificate were right, I had lost nothing but if the invoice were right then 50 sheets were lost. The mistake I made and I do not now after much greater experience think that it was any great carelessness was to take the sealed up bundles for what they were worth and did not check each separately. I have no doubt myself that the packing certificate was correct and that one packet which I had opened did in fact contain 50 sheets less than appeared in the invoice. In order to evade loss to myself I had not to invent a theory of an error in the documents, there was in fact such an error. And the curious point is that the exact amount of stamps of the same denomination lost is the exact amount of the error in the two documents. Mr. Nicolle was of course quite right in his decision for having broken the packets there was no longer proof that the invoice was wrong and as I had accepted the invoice I had to accept the loss.\n\n1st March, 1918.\n\n(81) S.B.C.Ross.",

        "content_text": "274 \n\nMT.\n\nYesterday, Mr. Beckett brought me these papers. The position has to a great extent altered since this despatch was written because the telegram of 7th January has been modified by subsequent telegrams, Q.AG, and circulars. In particular, the Governor has been told that he need only prohibit the exportation to list 'C' countries of the following articles mentioned in this despatch: sago and tapioca, manganese ore, rattans, tin and tin ore, and tungsten ore.\n\nWe have also asked the Board of Trade in the letter on 28699 whether Governors may be authorised to allow exports without reference to us to all destinations, except European Russia, of all products of the coconut. This would meet the enquiries about coconut oil and copra.\n\nThere remain the following articles mentioned in the memorandum:\n\n(a) Explosives. The Hong Kong Government want to allow the exportation of explosives of British origin to neighbouring countries. In this country, a general licence has been issued for the importation of industrial explosives to practically all destinations except list 'C' countries, and I do not see, therefore, why Hong Kong should not prohibit the exportation of industrial explosives only to list 'C' countries. I do not think that we need consult the Ministry of Munitions.\n\n(b) O.A.C. The quantities of butter and cheese which the Ministry of Food allow to go to Hong Kong are, however, small and I think that we could leave this alone. Presumably, if Hong Kong asked for an excessively large amount from Australia, the Ministry of Food would refuse to allow it.\n\n(c) Rice. The reason for asking the Colonies to prohibit the exportation of rice to all foreign countries is the shortage of rice in India and elsewhere. As regards Indian rice, there is no likelihood of this being exported via Hong Kong to foreign countries because the Government of India only allow exports to countries where there is a large Indian population, and consequently they would not allow any exports to Hong Kong. For the reasons given in the memorandum, it would seem inadvisable to attempt to interfere with the shipment of rice from foreign countries via Hong Kong to other foreign countries, and therefore I think that we can agree to rice being left on the Hong Kong list 'C', but we might give the Officer Administering the Government a warning as to the possibility of shortage, in which case he would, of course, take such measures in the way of export prohibition as were required.\n\n(d) Sugar. This also has been put on Hong Kong list \"C\", but there seems no objection to this since in 25342 the Board of Trade said that they had no objection to exports of sugar from Hong Kong except to list \"C\" countries.\n\n(e) Butter and Cheese. The Governor has put these on his list 'C'. The only objection that I can see to this is that some of the Australian butter and cheese which the Ministry of Food have bought, but which they allow to go to Hong Kong, might be re-exported to foreign countries. The quantities which the Ministry of Food allow...\n\n(e) Cotton. In this country, cotton other than Egyptian cotton has been put on list 'C' and as the cotton shipped from Hong Kong does not come from Egypt but from China and Indo-China, there seems no objection to the...",

I enclose herewith a note dated 20/8/19 regarding the sale of coconut oil and copra. Since Hong Kong doesn't produce copra, the position is like Straits, only more so. We should therefore not slay any export prohibitions on those articles.\n\n23/8/19  \nHarding  \nI told M. of F. that we have to consult Straits; they agreed to our proposals. I enclose herewith a copy dated 20/8/19.  \nSeen 21/9/19  \nCircular enclosure, -243.  \n57461/19  \n\n### GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG. 20th February, 1919.\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the telegraphic instructions as noted in the margin, regarding export prohibitions and in connection therewith to forward a **Memorandum** by the Superintendent of Imports and Exports showing in detail how these prohibitions will affect the trade of the Colony.\n\n2. The intention of these instructions is clearly to relax as far as possible the restraints imposed on trade by the exigencies of war and I have therefore considered the words \"Existing instructions as to issue of licences in respect of any of above commodities hold good still\" to refer inter alia to Mr. Long's approval notified in his **Confidential Despatch** of the 27th November, 1917, of the local classification of provisions. Rice, Sugar, Butter, Cheese, Sago, and Tapioca have accordingly been retained in Class C. As the Memorandum points out, any interference with the normal movement of the first two of these, would be fraught with most serious consequences alike to the Colony, to British Trade, and to the economics of the whole Far East. The Imports and Exports Department will of course prevent the movement of any of these commodities to any abnormal destinations, even though such destinations may be permissible.\n\nThe Right Honourable  \n**VISCOUNT MILNER, G.C.B.**  \n&c., &c., &c.",

These no longer exist and the free issue of licences has in fact restored Butter to Class C, where it is most desirable that it should remain. The neighbouring countries draw their supplies of butter (Australian) through Hongkong and a considerable portion of the Australian butter trade with Shanghai is transhipped in Hongkong. In both cases the trade is a transit one. If it is desired to conserve butter it can best be done in Australia (see para: 1 & 3 above).\n\n(g) **Cheese**. This has always been in Class C and should remain there for reasons similar to those given in the case of butter. At present cheese is chiefly imported from the United States of America.\n\n(b) **Sago & Tapioca**. These have always been in Class C. Same arguments apply as in (g). Imports come chiefly from Netherlands East Indies and Singapore, the latter probably representing mainly transhipment cargo from the former. Foreign consumers are China, Japan and Philippine Islands. Any of these could easily obtain direct shipments if Hongkong interposed restrictions.\n\n### (1) **Rice**. This has also been in Class C hitherto and its removal to Class B would be most disastrous. Hongkong imports Rice from Indo-China and Siam and re-exports it to China, Japan, United States of America and many other countries. The figures for 1918 are:-\n\n| Imports |  | \n| --- | --- | \n| From Siam | 217,000 tons | \n| From Indo-China | 800,000 tons | \n| Other Countries | 4,700 tons | \n| Total | 1,021,700 tons | \n\nExports.",

He introduced a number of enlightened reforms, many of them far in advance of the times: and he was strong enough to impose his will on the people while he lived in everything but the question of mui tsai. In that matter, at the height of his power, he forbade \"sales\", decreed a system of registration, set up an expensive system of homes, and gave inquisitorial authority to his men: and nothing happened, except that he was almost openly laughed at. And the tendency in many matters since the Revolution, to settle back again into the old Chinese groove, makes any such movement now even less likely to succeed.\n\nThat the system has and must have its abuses cannot be denied. That the number of cases in which it is abused is very large is also true: but there are no data for making a proportionate estimate beyond such generalities as that the custom is practically universal and the system accepted: and is therefore on the whole beneficial. The abuses, however, are actively recognised as abuses by all the better Chinese; and with them it is only a question of the extent to which they can be checked: and granted that the system itself must be allowed as yet to continue, this problem of checking the abuses becomes the immediate matter in hand.\n\nIn a question of this nature, it is not possible to dissociate Hong Kong from China. There is a very large daily passenger traffic with the Colony by River steamer",

        "content_text": "198\n\nThe Hon. Mr. D. Y. Perkins, senior partner in the Straits legal firm of Messrs. Drew and Napier, has recently retired from the Colony after a residence of 21 years. He had been an unofficial member of the Legislative Council of the Colony since 1918. In 1910 Mr. Perkins married, in Singapore, the second daughter of the late Sir John Anderson, then Governor of the Straits Settlements. In social circles both Mr. and Mrs. D. Y. Perkins have held a high place in the colony and they will be greatly missed.\n\nLiving costs in Tokyo, highest of any city in the world, are the real cause of the closing of the Rumanian Legation here this month, according to the Hochi. The Rumanian Minister, his First Secretary and Military Attaché have received instructions to close the Legation temporarily and are making preparations to sail for home within the next few weeks. According to the newspaper, the appropriation for the maintenance of a Legation in Tokyo felt justified by Rumania has not proved sufficient to meet present price levels.\n\nAccording to Japanese native papers, the officials of the Yokohama Dockyard Co. have decided to wait until the pinch of want drives the workmen who are now on strike back to their jobs. The officials seem confident that this will come about before long. The strikers are selling bread and groceries to raise strike funds and declare they are able to carry on the struggle for at least six months. All the repair works in the docks has been entrusted to other companies, with the exception of that on the Kaga and the Kamo, which is almost complete.\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS\n\nThe British Legation Chapel in Peking was the scene of a pretty wedding on the 7th inst., when Mrs. Belcher, widow of the late Major F. P. Belcher, R.A.F., was married to Mr. E. C. Mieville, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Mieville of London. The bride was given away by Sir Beilby Alston, H. M. Minister, Lady Alston acting as proxy for her mother, and Mr. L. N. Mackinnon, of Tientsin, was best man. Following the ceremony, the guests assembled at Sir Beilby Alston's house to tender their congratulations. Later, Mr. and Mrs. Mieville left for Tientsin, where the first portion of the honeymoon is being spent.\n\nHONGKONG.\n\nThe Czecho-Slovak Republic has conferred on Temp. Lt.-Colonel John Ward, C.B., C.M.G., the Croix de Guerre.\n\nMr. Charles Henry Wailar, a visitor staying at the Peak Hotel, suddenly died on March 22nd from heart failure. The deceased arrived here last week from Bombay.\n\n\"Assaulting the police appears to be a favourite occupation now-a-days,\" said Mr. Lindsel, at the Magistracy, on March 21st, in sentencing a man to six weeks' imprisonment for an attack on a Chinese constable.\n\nIt is announced that Messrs. Dodwell & Co., Ltd., have been appointed agents of the London Liverpool & Globe Insurance Co., Ltd., for Hongkong and Canton, and that the present branch offices of the Company in Hongkong and Canton will be closed from 1st April.\n\nLt. Col. F. S. Penny, R.A.M.C., who, as a major, has recently been promoted to colonel. He served as an assistant-director of medical services in the late war, winning the C.M.G. and D.S.O., and had previous field service in South Africa.\n\n[March 5th, 1929.]\n\nFour armed men entered a house in Shanghai Street about 9.30 at night on March 22nd. Having driven the inmates into a cubicle, they robbed the house at their pleasure, stealing $59 worth of jewellery and $104 in cash.\n\nThere was quite a lively scene in Yau Ma Tei the other night, when a mob of Chinese surrounded the police station crying for vengeance upon an Indian constable.\n\nAs far as could be gathered, it was alleged that the constable, who was off duty, had assaulted a Chinese. Quiet was not restored until a considerable force of police had been marched to the scene by Mr. P. P. J. Wodehouse and Mr. T. H. King. A baton charge dispersed the mob which numbered some hundreds.\n\nLady Stubbs opened a small bazaar held on March 20th in the Church Hall of St. Andrew's, Kowloon, in aid of the Mission Hospital at Yunnanfu and St. Dunstan's Home for Blinded Soldiers. H.E. Sir John Fowler, K.C.M.G., C.B., presided at the opening ceremony. Instructive missionary exhibits were on view and kinematograph films were shown during the evening also illustrative of missionary work. A large number of helpers contributed efforts to make the affair a success.\n\nMr. O. T. Breakspear, manager of the Publicity Bureau for South China, is leaving for Home by the City of Simla towards the end of the present month. The work of the Bureau will be carried on by Capt. A. G. McClay, who has recently arrived. During the past three years Mr. Breakspear has been the Hon. Corresponding Secretary for the Overseas Club in the Colony, and Mr. Eric Rice has consented to take over these duties in the meantime.\n\nUnder the title of labour organizations before the war, the Government Bureau of Economic Information publishes a list of 47 bodies. The workers who are so organized include labourers, cooks, employees of vegetable shops, printers, seamen, mechanics, warehouse coolies, girl hosiery makers, weavers, blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, laundrymen, tailors, barbers and shoemakers. The list also includes a ricksha coolies association, but a note explains that this has been organized by the managers of ricksha concerns and has no relation with the coolies at all.\n\nShanghai residents, and perhaps the Shanghai police, who were startled some weeks ago by the killing of a Korean in broad day in a public thoroughfare (says the Peking correspondent of the N.-C. Daily News) may be interested to know that the victim was not named Yang, as then reported, but was the more or less notorious Kim Lip, an agent of the Irkutsk bureau for the dissemination of Communist propaganda among Oriental peoples, who came to Peking last summer with Russian gold to the value of $400,000 and resided for some time at various road houses in the Western Hills.\n\nThe inevitable has happened. Costs are rising as a consequence of the strike. By advertisement this week the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co., Ltd., and Holt's Wharf announce that from the 1st of next month the charges for landing, shipping and storing cargo will be increased by 10 per cent., owing to the increased cost of working and maintenance.\n\n56\n\nMr. William Yinson Lee, a prominent merchant of Sydney, arrived last week by the s.s. Arafura on a business trip to Hongkong and South China. During the recent visit of the Prince of Wales to Australia Mr. Yinson Lee had the honour of presenting the address of welcome from the Chinese community of all the States of the Commonwealth to His Royal Highness.\n\nThe health return for the week records 15 cases of plague (all Chinese excepting one Portuguese case). Eleven of the Chinese cases proved fatal. There were also three fatal cases of small-pox (Chinese); two non-fatal enteric and paratyphoid fever; and one non-fatal case of scarlet fever (British) and one of relapsing fever. Influenza accounted for two deaths during the week.\n\nA rice merchant was attacked by four men, whilst riding in his private ricksha on March 16th, and robbed of $146. The attack took place at the junction of Wilmer Street with Des Voeux Road. One of the men threw pepper in his victim's face, and the others dragged him out of the ricksha. A wallet containing a quantity of notes was stolen. An attempt by one of the men to snatch his gold watch and chain failed. The robbers disappeared when the merchant blew his police whistle.\n\nAmong the passengers who left the Colony by the Andre Lebon were M. Reau, the French Consul-General, who, we understand, will not be returning to Hongkong. M. Reau's departure is much regretted by the French community and many friends of other nationalities. Other well-known French residents of the Colony who left by the French mail steamer for France with no intention of returning were M. and Madame Lecab'e. As agent of the Société des Charbonnages du Tonkin M. Lecab'e had resided in the Colony for some years and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. M. and Madame Lecable intend to settle in France.\n\nA clipping from a home paper has now been received giving further details of the tragedy which occurred at Gibraltar.\n\nA serious collision occurred on Praya East on March 18th. Two motor cars, which were meeting one another, were about to pass, opposite Wai Wo's yard. At that point, also, two or three rickshas were proceeding westwards. The driver of the west-bound motor car (which belonged to the Dragon Garage) misjudged the available space and caught one of the rickshas full in the back. The occupant, Mr. H. Gelling, of the Daily Press, was hurled by the force of the impact a distance of some yards and narrowly escaped crushing his head against a verandah pillar, which was only missed by inches. As it was, he sustained many severe contusions and is now under treatment by Dr. Dalmahoy Allan. The ricksha coolie was hurt about the head and the ricksha is a wreck.\n\nThe names of a special jury were called for the Praya murder trial at the Criminal Sessions on March 20th. Later Mr. W. S. Bailey arrived in Court and explained to the Chief Justice that pressure of work had caused him to overlook the matter; he was very sorry. The Judge said it was a very serious matter. In consequence of Mr. Bailey's absence another gentleman had to serve in his place. The Chief Justice added that he could see no possible excuse whatever and Mr. Bailey would be fined $50.\n\nA report states: \"Dr. Lovell Moss, who has a medical practice here, was returning by motor-car from a dance to his residence at Algeciras, accompanied by his wife and sister-in-law and chauffeur and assistant chauffeur, when he was caught in the chains at a level crossing on the Andulaces Railway at Los Barrios, and almost simultaneously run into by a troop train. Mrs. Moss and the two chauffeurs were killed on the spot, while the doctor and his sister-in-law were conveyed to a hospital here, where they are lying in a critical condition.\" News has since been received in Shanghai that Miss Molloy died the day after the accident and Dr. Moss the day following.\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31",

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

He said the French would have no respect for messages on occasion three times, and did not hesitate to work duplex continuously.\n\nREADING stated that he understood from the reports in the newspapers that morning that a contract had been signed by the Government of Australia and a Company associated with the Marconi Company to establish a station in Australia which would communicate direct with England, and also for the Marconi Company to take over the entire direction of wireless in Australia.\n\nThe Secretary of State for the Colonies had sent a personal telegram to the Governor General on Saturday, the 25th March, asking for confirmation of these reports, but a reply had not yet been received.\n\nThe POSTMASTER GENERAL said that the effect of the proposals by the Governments of India and Australia on the Imperial Chain was grave, although the break away from the wireless Chain by Australia was the less important of the two. He asked whether the Government of South Africa had also expressed a desire not to carry out the Imperial Chain scheme.\n\nMR. READING replied that no official report had been received from South Africa beyond that welcoming the despatch of the two officers from the Admiralty to select possible sites. The general tone of their report was sympathetic to the Imperial Chain scheme.\n\n2\n\nLet's correct and simplify to the exact output as requested, focusing on the corrections made:\n\nPage 399\n\nIndia during the monsoon seasɔus,\n\nbecomes \nPage 399\n\nIndia during the monsoon season,\n\nAnd the rest of the text is corrected accordingly.\n\nThe final output is thus corrected and presented in HTML format as requested.",

The chief means of conveyance are the steamers mentioned in paragraph 2. But a considerable amount has been conveyed by the French subsidised steamer \"Hanoi\" at an inclusive rate of $75 per case of 800 taels, a relatively high rate from Haiphong to this port, showing that those who accepted the cargo knew the nature of the goods. Sometimes the opium is shipped as ordinary cargo, sometimes via the ship's compradore. At one time, a junk was employed on regular trips between Kwongchamwan and Hongkong, carrying 20,000 or 30,000 taels a trip. Mention is made of the customary terms of the trade for freight, apparently 12 cents per tael weight. No mention is made of the means by which the opium was safely landed in the Colony, but the numerous items found in the Petty Cash Book for the hire of motor launches, and the fact that the syndicate were closely connected with owners of steam launches, points clearly to the method adopted.\n\nThe steamer stops outside the Harbour, generally at night, between Green Island, Lamma, Cheung Chau, and Lantau. The launch then comes up and takes the opium off. In some cases, the opium, which is packed in sealed kerosene tins (32 lbs in each), is lowered into the water while the ship is under way, but not before the meeting launch or sampan has been identified by some means. Kerosene tins containing this quantity of opium will just float practically submerged and can be picked up by the meeting boat. The launch then makes its way to the other side of the harbour, where Revenue Officers are fewer, and the configuration of the water front renders it impossible to patrol effectively. There, the goods are landed into some makeshift warehouse, unpacked, weighed, classified, and repacked.\n\nThough steps have often been taken to intercept these ships, it is rarely that they have been caught. They have too elaborate a system of signals, and all the sampan people are in league with them, some of the members of the syndicate belonging to the boat population.

This year Yunnan goods are coming in incessantly, if we start early we shall have the best opportunities.

Pass regulations have also been drawn up\n\nand these and the traffic regulations have been adopted by\n\nthe French Municipal Council. Pass regulations are designed\n\nto produce three effects:\n\n1. To give the police the necessary facility for pre-\n\nventing illicit traffic in passes and excluding undesirable\n\npersons after the gates are closed:\n\n2. To make the use of the passes as unrestrictive as\n\npossible to those entitled to them.\n\n3. To afford our Chinese employes an automatic iden-\n\ntification in case of conscription of labour in the city.\n\nIn all these three efforts we feel that we can rely\n\non the moral support of the Canton authorities. It is our\n\nintention to bring these regulations into force a fitting\n\ntime after publication and to give the necessary publicity.\n\nI venture to remind you that there is still a dis-\n\ncontented vein throughout the Chinese Press as to the\n\nCouncil's intentions, which I hope are now explained.\n\nI assure you that none of the Chinese newspaper representati-\n\nves have troubled to seek the correct information from your\n\nCouncil.\n\nI can\n\nIt must be borne in mind that the Shameen population\n\nhas increased considerably since the existing police regula-\n\ntions were published and that the advent of the new Shakee\n\nRoad, which, I am informed, will probably be finished this\n\nPage 365",

The Mediators having reported that the Terms\n\nnow acceptable, the Joint Councils decided that the Strike\n\nders should be invited to attend a Meeting in Shameen for a\n\nFilement of the Strike.\n\nMeeting was held on Sunday 20th at 11 a.m., when, in addition\n\nthe French and British Consuls General and Councila, Measts.\n\nLai Ting and Mr. Ma Chul Chun were present, Three Delegates\n\nthe strikers attended. They presented a paper, which, they\n\n+\n\nstated their Terms, which were as follows:\n\n  \n    Final abolition of the new Police Permit Regulations, and all\n  \n  \n    Er unequal treatment.\n  \n  \n    All Chinese employees to be reinstated, and the Strike not be\n  \n  \n    ased as a pretext to dismiss them.\n  \n  \n    Pay to be continued to Chinese employees during the strike,\n  \n  \n    not docked,\n  \n  \n    Both Gates to be open until 11 p.m.. after that time employera\n  \n  \n    be responsible for procuring passage for their employees.\n  \n  \n    All work to stop on Shameen at 9 p.m. at the latest, except linner party nights.\n  \n\nhe French Consul General explained to the Delegates that as a\n\nalt of the conversation which had taken place between the\n\nators of both sides, the Shameen Consuls were prepared to make\n\nfollowing Concessions to the employees: They would cancel the new Police Permit Regulations, known to Chinese as the twelve New Clauses, thus returning to the old\n\nplations that after the Gates are closed no Chinese may enter\n\nleave Shameen, unless he is in possession of a special Police\n\nbit.\n\nTo this the Delegates made no remark. Equal treatment of foreigners and Chinese should be secured by\n\nPermits being required universally. In the case of yearly\n\nits one photograph would be required to be affixed to the Per-\n\nNo one, however, could be forced to take out such Permita.\n\n2",

Public employees will be reinstated \"and their wages paid for the period of the strike, \"reservation being made in the case of the Police *on the question of disciplinary measures which shall be finally dealt with according to the discretion of the Councils\".\n\nThe public employees other than the Police are very few in number, including the coolies at the Water- works and the scavengers and street sweepers. The undertaking to reinstate them was given in the early days of the strike, and the clause was allowed to stand until my French colleague and I warned the Chinese that, in the event of delay beyond August 13th, it would be withdrawn. The Municipal workers therefore returned on that day with the Police and most of them, including all the laterworks coolies, remained at their posts.\n\nAs regards the Police, the above clause was to be interpreted by the so-called \"Gentlemen's Agreement\", which was not to be published. Concerning this it may be remarked that experience has shown us that it is dangerous to enter into a pact of this nature unless assured that the other party to it are gentlemen.\n\nAgreement ran as follows:-\n\nThis",

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.",

There was at the time no sufficient justification for detaining Harada, though on second thoughts, and after making a careful examination of the available evidence, it might have been useful to have carefully examined him.\n\nTanaka had stayed some time ago at the Tokyo Hotel in Hongkong, leaving finally for Shanghai; it is not known what his business was here then.\n\nI enclose a card of a Japanese guide who was probably engaged by Tanaka, who apparently knew no French, and very little English.\n\nThe time he spent in Europe was very short; he arrived in Marseilles, probably by s.s. \"Kamo Maru\", on July 6th, and left per s.s. \"Angers\" from Marseilles on July 30th. No business papers at all were found in his possession. It therefore appears extremely likely that the sole reason of his journey was to fetch this consignment of heroin.\n\nIn his statement, when charged, he said that a Chinese merchant at Marseilles handed him the trunks and asked him to take them to Shanghai and hand over to a man who would meet the ship. This is extremely unlikely as the tie-on baggage labels affixed in Zurich had the address \"Messageries Maritimes Marseilles\", and the last lot of two trunks only arrived there just in time to catch the steamer Angers. The person who despatched the goods from Zurich, therefore, intended them to go by the s.s. \"Angers\", and as Tanaka was in Zurich shortly before their despatch, it is highly probable that he was responsible for the arrangements. Tanaka himself was booked through to Kobe, and all the trunks were labelled Kobe, though they were intended to come...",

        "content_text": "## 20\n\nDuring the second year, we have to attend lectures on an elementary knowledge of the art of nursing, which we found very useful and interesting. We also have been taught how to vaccinate a person. When smallpox cases occurred in Hongkong, we volunteered to vaccinate the poor people. From now on, we will have our First Aid and Home Nursing Examinations alternately every year, as long as we belong to the division.\n\nThus, we have found that this St. John Ambulance Association not only teaches us to help our injured neighbours but also makes us very useful to our households in time of peace, as well as to our country in time of war. Therefore, we hope that other Chinese girls' schools in this Colony will someday turn their attention to the art of Home Nursing for the benefit of our own country and countrymen.\n\n## Uma Tarde\n\nCerto dia tarde, quando um velho árabe voltava a casa, encontrou no caminho uma pobre mulherzinha a chorar e na maior aflição, porque alguém lhe roubou um saco de farinha.\n\nComo naquele sítio estavam algumas barracas habitadas pelos árabes, o velho árabe suspeitou que um deles tinha praticado o roubo. Ele então deu ordens para que todos os árabes que aí estavam aparecessem.\n\nE disse-lhes que possuía um remédio eficaz para descobrir o ladrão, e para isso era necessário que todos se submetessem a uma prova, senão que fizessem queixas às autoridades. Todos eles negaram terminantemente, mas submeteram-se à prova da seguinte maneira: O bom árabe cortou alguns pedacitos de palha, todos do mesmo tamanho, e distribuiu a cada um deles um pedaço. Depois, de uma maneira muito misteriosa, disse-lhes: - Cada um de vocês precisa guardar este pedaço de palha até ao dia seguinte e depois o traga para cá, a fim de eu os medir, pois um bocadito de palha havia de crescer durante a noite uma polegada na pessoa que fez o roubo. Quando os árabes apareceram na manhã seguinte, o verdadeiro criminoso cortou o seu pedacito menos uma polegada, porque tinha receio do bruxedo, e assim foi descoberto o roubo, e o saco de farinha foi restituído à mulherzinha.\n\nTradução feita pelas seguintes alunas de classe portuguesa: Bertha Remedios, Frankie Gomes, Cissie Santos.\n\n## 21\n\n### A LAUNCH PICNIC\n\nIt was so hot on the 29th of May that we decided to arrange a launch picnic. Some of our friends were invited. We met at the Queen's Pier, started off in a launch at 3:30 p.m., and went to Repulse Bay.\n\nThe day was fine, the water was smooth, and the breeze, as it blew past us, had a refreshing and cooling effect. From afar off, we saw the sun shining on the water, which sparkled like many silver stars. Some white clouds travelled slowly above our heads, while others clung to the mountain tops.\n\nAn hour had passed before the bay was in sight. Having changed into our bathing costumes, we waited until the launch was at anchor, then we got down into the water. The water was cool and lovely. There were many swimmers; the men were dressed in black or dark bathing costumes, but there were lady swimmers with their many coloured swimming costumes. The colours were so bright that the water of the bay was like a mixture of colours instead of a greenish one. Groups of two or three were seen lying on the sand sun-bathing. We swam and played in the water for a long time, then went back to the launch. Tea was prepared by our friends who were on board. While we were taking our tea, the launch sailed homewards.\n\nBy that time, the sun was setting in the west, casting its rays over the sky like a huge, many-coloured fan, while the waves danced like so many coloured beads; the clouds close to the sun formed a mixture of colours that was very pleasing to the sight. As we went on, the night fell. The lights in the fishing junks near by were like the stars in the sky. The scene was so lovely that I can hardly describe it. Soon the harbour was in sight. The harbour of Hongkong has been praised by many tourists, but even we, who live in Hongkong all our lives, could not help praising its beauty. The lights cover nearly all the hills, and they cast a beautiful reflection upon the harbour.\n\nWe landed at 7:30 p.m. and went home. Thus ended one of the most pleasant days in our lives.\n\n**CHEUNG YUK CHAN, Class 1**\n\n### DESCRIPTION OF THE SUNSET\n\nThe sun is glowing along the western hill, and the sky is as blue as the ocean; while the clouds near the setting sun are slowly disappearing behind the hills.

        "content_text": "439\n\nEstablishment of Custom stations on new frontier.\n\n(12)\n\nexported from the Colony into China. The attitude of the merchants, both in Hongkong and in London, was uncompromising, and might fairly be summed up as a strong desire to see the Chinese Customs cleared bag and baggage out of the Colony and of Colonial waters.†\n\n§ 10. The Inspector General's proposals were not accepted. The New Territory was handed over to the Hongkong Government in April 1899 by virtue of the Convention for the Extension of Hongkong, signed at Peking on 9th June 1898, and the Chinese Customs stations were closed on the 4th October that year. New duty-collecting stations were established at Taishan (A) and Liutin (B), in the estuary of the Canton River, to replace Capsuimoon, and at Shaichung (C) and Samun (D), to the east of Mirs Bay, to replace Fotochow. Shumchun(E) was opened as a collecting station on 1st March 1900, and on 19th February of the following year Shatowkok (F) was raised from the position of a frontier post to that of a collecting station. In addition, frontier guard posts, some of which have on occasion served also as collecting stations, had to be established along the land boundary. The number of these frontier posts has varied from time to time, but it includes, or has included, the following: Chekwan (G), Kwaimiao (H), Shatau (I), Lungtsunhu (龜津虂), Lofong (羅坊), Lowu (飔門), Lintong (華場), Shatowkok (沙头角), Yimtin (J), Kaichung (K), Tipfuk (L), Hasha (M), and Namo (N). This elongation of the land frontier was a great advantage to smugglers. Prior to 1899 the frontier was only about 2 miles in length and was protected by a stout bamboo fence, some 8 feet high, along the entire line. This fence was pierced by six gates, and an armed patrol both by night and by day saw to it that only legitimate trade passed through these gates. After 1899 the frontier ran for some 60 miles through rough and hilly country from Chekwan on the west to Mirs Greatly increased Point on the east. To add to the difficulty of controlling this greatly extended line the waters of the Shumchun River were declared to be British, while the boundary along the shores of Deep Bay and Mirs Bay was delimited at the high-water mark. This enabled smugglers to lie protected in British waters within a yard or so of Chinese territory and as it was manifestly impossible for the Chinese Government to provide preventive officers to guard every junk to slip their goods ashore practically when and where they pleased. The Chinese Customs office, however, in the city of Victoria, for the convenience of the trading public, was allowed to remain where it was, but on the old status of sufferance only. Revenue cruisers and cruising launches continued to patrol Chinese waters and to make use of Hongkong harbour as ships of war, but the sea-line now to be patrolled was perforce extended from a little over 20 to some 80 miles, a fact which also rejoiced the hearts of the smuggling fraternity.\n\nDifficulties of control.\n\n§ 11. Relations between the Colony and the Chinese Customs remained practically in this position for the next 10 years, but the decade was marked by a characteristic incident. In 1902 negotiations were proceeding between Great Britain and China for a new commercial treaty. This treaty, inter alia, was to provide for a revision of the import tariff to bring the rates up to an effective 5 per cent. duty—the first actual revision of China's import tariff for over 40 years—and to arrange for other tariff changes, especially in regard to the levy of likin. The Colony became apprehensive that its growing trade might be adversely affected by such changes. In the years preceding the Opium Agreement of 1886, as we have seen, Hongkong merchants and officials were indignant that the Chinese authorities levied higher duties on junk-borne cargoes to and from Hongkong—a foreign place—than they did on such cargoes to and from Macao, at that time Chinese territory.* China, although within her rights in making such levies, had removed the grievance by granting the wished-for concession in the Agreement of 1886, and Hongkong trade had benefited accordingly. Now, however, the Hongkong merchants, having reaped the advantage of the lowered junk rates, were fearful lest these lower rates should affect adversely the carrying trade in foreign steamers between Hongkong and the treaty ports in the province of Canton, when a higher import tariff on foreign goods going into China, and possible alterations in the likin procedure, were about to be put into force. Accordingly, an article was inserted in the so-called Mackay Treaty, signed at Shanghai on 5th September 1902, to the effect that \"duties and likin combined levied on goods carried by junks from Hongkong to the Treaty Ports in the Canton Province and vice versa, shall together not be less than the duties charged by the Imperial Maritime Customs on similar goods carried by steamer.\" This article, although designed for a specific purpose, was in effect a recognition of the principle that the amount of taxation to be levied on goods should not vary with the mode of conveyance, a principle which, in these days of greatly increased Maritime Customs tariff rates, has a wider significance than probably was intended by the framers of the article. Another event happening in this decade, which was destined to affect vitally the relations between the Colony and the Chinese Customs, was the Imperial Edict of 20th September 1906 ordering gradual cessation of opium trade.† This led to domestic coercive measures on the part of the Chinese Government for the suppression of the production and use of the home-grown article and to an agreement with the British Government for the gradual reduction and eventual extinction of the import of the drug from India. Such an arrangement could not but have an adverse reaction on the Colony's revenue. Happily, thanks largely to the genial personality of Mr. W. R. McD. Parr, who was Commissioner of Customs for the Kowloon district from November 1904 to September 1908, the relations between the Chinese Customs and the Hongkong Government had lost much of their former official stiffness, so that when the Colonial Government decided to tax alcohol and spirits§ in order, if possible, to make good the revenue that was being forfeited by the cessation of the opium trade it was felt to be natural that the Colony should seek China's assistance in the matter. Hongkong's necessity, in fact, became\n\n(13)\n\n1902.\n\nDuties on goods carried by steamer.\n\nMackay Treaty.\n\nImperial Edict of September 1906.\n\n...\n\n* British Parliamentary Papers: China No. 1 (1899), p. 297.\n† Vide \"Hongkong Daily Press,\" 9th, 10th, and 15th September 1898; also Customs publications: Office Series, No. 62. \"Kowloon Customs\" (Shanghai, 1899).\n‡ Hertalet, op. cit., Vol. I, pp. 120, 121.\n§ Vide Map, facing p. 1.\n* Macao was never officially recognised by China as Portuguese territory till the signing of the Protocol of Lisbon of 1887, the articles of which were confirmed by the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between Portugal and China, signed 1st December 1887 (vide Chinese Customs publications: \"Treaties, Conventions, etc., between China and Foreign States,\" Second Edition (2 vols., Shanghai, 1917), Vol. II, pp. 273, 275).\n† British Parliamentary Papers: China No. 1 (1908), p. 1.\n‡ Ibid., pp. 14, 17, 21, 29, 45, 47, 48.

No labourer hereafter arriving in Western Samoa shall hereafter be under any circumstances criminally punishable by fine, imprisonment or otherwise for any breach of a contract of service.\n\nThe statement of the terms which is attached states that the engagement is for a term of 3 years at the end of which the labourer will be repatriated, but after consideration a labourer may engage for a further period of 3 years. As regards an extension of the period of the service to 4 years, the O.A.G. of Hong Kong states that 3 years is the usual term for contracts in the South Seas and is longer than the term for the East Indies, the distinction being due to the greater expense of conveying emigrants to the South Sea Islands and to the fact that most Administrations in these islands do not encourage free settlement of Chinese and are therefore liable to incur heavy expenditure on account of labourers repatriated at the end of their term.\n\nThe O.A.G. sees no objection to the extension of the term to 4 years, except that the labourer will be prejudiced in so far as his opportunity of making a better bargain with his employer as a condition of renewing his agreement will be deferred for the extra year, and from the point of view of the Hong Kong Government.",

His enquiries elicited the rather disturbing fact that the insertion of the proposed clause was intended to regularise a practice which had already been in force for some time, (although not appearing as one of the terms of agreement on the basis of which recruitment of Chinese labour in Hong Kong for Western Samoa had been authorised by the O.A.G. and the Secretary of State).\n\nIn order not to conflict with the provision in the Samoa Free Labour Ordinance which prohibits punishment by fine for a breach of contract of service, the method of recovery of the 9d a day is not by way of fine but by deduction from future wages and recovery is not enforceable by imprisonment. The Western Samoa Administration declare it to be essential to maintain this mild deterrent against a tendency towards unreasonable absence from work. The O.A.G. explains that in Samoa the pay of casual labour is often high and the temptation to malinger may be great, while particularly on cocoa plantations the temporary absence of his workmen may at times cause\n\nan",

After some correspondence, the Governor of Hong Kong was informed in 1920 that he might permit recruitment of such labour in Hong Kong, subject to the observance of the local law as to Chinese passengers, which presumably meant that labourers must be technically free, that is, not have signed any contract when they left Hong Kong.\n\nThe correspondence is printed in Command 919. Although Chinese labour was wanted in Samoa, Chinese settlers were not, and in 1921 a request from the Chinese Government that labourers whose contracts had expired might be allowed to remain was refused. They could enter into a second indenture for three years, making six years in all, but beyond that the New Zealand authorities would not allow them to stay. (See 18155/21 and 39318/21)\n\nIn 1923, new terms and conditions for Agreements for Chinese labour were brought into force (See 44670/23 and 11713/24). The previous system had apparently been an ordinary indentured system. Under the new one, it was stated that all indentured labourers would become free labourers, but I am not sure that this is strictly true.\n\nThe general effect of the system, which, so far as we know, still remains in force, is that",

Clause 5 of the conditions of employment states \"No labourer arriving in Western Samoa shall be punished by fine or imprisonment for any breach of service\" and this is in accordance with the provisions of the Samoa Free Labour Ordinance.\n\n3. It appears that the insertion of this additional clause in the labourers' agreement is intended to regularize a practice which has been in force for some time. It seems clear also that some such deterrent is desirable if the Government and the employer are not to suffer unnecessary loss should the labourer without good reason absent himself from work. I understand that in Samoa where the pay of casual labour is often high the temptation to 'malinger may be great, while, particularly on cocoa plantations, the temporary absence of his workmen may at times cause an employer very serious loss.\n\nThere is no reason either to suppose that the provision will inflict any undue hardship on the labourers or that the words \"of their own fault\" and \"without valid reason\" will be interpreted other than fairly.\n\n4. In the circumstances therefore I see no serious objection to the inclusion in the agreement of the clause as it stands. But in view of the fact that a question of principle is involved I submit the matter for Your Lordship's instructions.\n\nI have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant, W.D.

OFFICE\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE,\n\nHONGKONG, 27th December, 1929.\n\nAned (3)\n\nI have the honour to transmit the enclosed copy of a despatch which I have received from His Excellency the Governor-General of New Zealand suggesting that the minimum period for which labourers are recruited in Hong Kong for work in Samoa should be raised from three to four years, and to request Your Lordship's instructions in the matter.\n\n2.\n\nRecruitment in Hong Kong of Chinese assisted emigrants for Western Samoa began in 1920, when the terms of employment agreed upon between this Government and the representative of the Samoa administration provided for the signing by the labourer on arrival in the islands of a contract to work for three years, on the expiration of which he would be repatriated to China, if he so wished. This is the usual term for contracts in the South Seas. In the East Indies the labourer engages to work for his employer for a period of 300 to 360 working days before he can claim repatriation; but, owing to the greater expense of conveying emigrants to the South Sea Islands and to the fact that most administrations there do not encourage free settlement by Chinese and are therefore liable to incur heavy expenditure on account of men repatriated at the end of their term, the longer\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nLORD PASSFIELD,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.",

Assisted emigrants are recruited in Hong Kong for Nauru, Ocean Island, and Makatea as well as Western Samoa on this condition.\n\n3. In no instance, however, has the period of engagement exceeded three years, although in Samoa and elsewhere the labourer may be permitted to re-engage himself for a further period of three years.\n\n4. There is no reason to suppose that emigrants could not be secured who would be perfectly willing to engage themselves for a period of four years, as the pay and conditions offered by the Samoa administration compare very favourably with those in many other places. It is realised also that, making allowance for time spent on the voyage and for a period of acclimatization, the cost of this labour to employers is apt to be unduly high. At the same time, the extension of the term of his agreement will prejudice the labourer in so far as he will be debarred for a period of one year from the opportunity of making a better bargain with his employer as a condition of the renewal of his agreement.\n\n5. Labourers recruited for Samoa are attracted by the conditions, and it would appear that the wages paid enable them to maintain a standard at least as high as they could have expected to maintain in China; and no complaints have been received from Samoa or from repatriated emigrants. Four years does not in all the circumstances seem excessive, an important point being that the labourers in Samoa remain under British control; and I recommend that the concession sought should be granted. Any such concession will, of course, be quoted as a precedent for an extension of the period of engagement to work in other Pacific islands; and it",

Any information that the Hong Kong Government might desire as to the actual details of the arrangements made with the coolies could be ascertained from Messrs. Gibb, Livingston and Company, Limited, of Hong Kong, who are the agents for this purpose of the Administration of Western Samoa.\n\n3.\n\nHis Majesty's Government in New Zealand would greatly appreciate any assistance that the Hong Kong Government may be able to render in the direction of increasing the term from three years to four years.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Sd.)

See Dominions 56803/24 and connected papers up to 37882/25 in Dominions Office bundle herewith.\n\nIt was then maintained that the practice of recruitment of Chinese labour for Samoa was illegal and contrary to the Anglo-Chinese Convention of 1904. It was held here that the Convention did not apply, for various reasons - see Mr. Price's Minute of the 7th of February, 1925 on 2493/25. The most important point is that we contend that these labourers are not indentured.\n\nThe same considerations still apply, and I think we can take the line that the Convention may be ignored. A copy of it is attached.\n\nOn this occasion the Chinese have also criticised the management of the boarding houses in which the intending emigrants are lodged while in Hong Kong. They allege that excessive payments are demanded. The Hong Kong authorities deny that any payments at all are exacted from intending emigrants.",

Sir Miles Lampson is, however, uneasy about the suggestion that it is usual for the recruiters who go to China to persuade far more Chinese to come to Hong Kong than have any chance of being actually engaged. It is probably true that this is the practice as the recruiting Company must have some reserve to cover the would-be emigrants who decline engagement at the last minute or who are found unfit.\n\nIf the statements of the Hong Kong authorities are correct, it does not seem to be a great hardship on the men as they are kept in Hong Kong and their only expense is their fare to the Colony and even that is sometimes paid for them. In any case, it is difficult to see how Hong Kong could prevent this. If labourers in China are persuaded that there are good chances of employment being obtained in Hong Kong, it would be very hard for the Hong Kong Govt. to prevent their coming to the Colony. A system of licensed recruiters might be theoretically possible, but it would be very easy to evade",

Lieb, Livingston and Company of Hongkong.\n\nIn making their complaint against the firm in question the Chinese authorities have, I observe, invoked the Migration Convention of 1924, which, in my opinion, is inapplicable in this instance for the following reason.\n\nIf it had been the intention of the parties to the Convention that it should govern all recruiting in China of Chinese labourers for service in British possessions, it would be difficult to defend its exclusion by the adoption of Macau, where labour is in China and sent to Hongkong to be recruited and shipped there. I consider that the Convention must be read as confined to \"indentured emigrants\", not only because that expression is used in Article 1 of the Convention but also because the Convention contains somewhat detailed provisions (Articles 2, 4, 7 and 8) as to the provisions which the indenture is to contain, and the steps to be taken to ensure that the migrants are really acquainted with the nature of the contract into which they are entering. I do not think, therefore, that it is possible to regard the Convention as applicable.\n\nSir Miles Lampson, K.C.M.G., C.B.,\n\n...\n\n \nhas been replaced with the correct closing as it was not provided in the original text.

It does not appear to be disputed that in this particular case there are no contracts at all and if this is the case, it is not necessary, in my opinion, to pursue the point raised in 1928 (see His Majesty's Consul General at Canton's despatch No.39 of June 11th, 1925, a copy of which was enclosed in Mr. Alairac's despatch No.441 of June 27th 1925) as to whether pre advances amounted to a form of indentured labour.\n\n5. If this is so, the question resolves itself into whether there is any substance in the Chinese Government allegations as to the hardships suffered by prospective emigrants. On this point I transmit to you herewith, for your information, a copy of a letter, with enclosures, which I have received from the Colonial Office. You will observe that the Governor of Hongkong is being asked whether he considers that the powers of his Government in this regard could usefully be strengthened in any way.\n\nI shall be glad if you will communicate the substance of this despatch to His Majesty's Consul General at Canton, for his information, instructing him not to reply, in the meantime, to the letter of April 18th from the Mayor of Canton, pending the receipt by the Colonial Office of observations from the Governor of Hongkong, to whom further...",

The Chinese Authorities proceed to claim the right to control the recruiting of this labour in accordance with the terms of the Emigration Convention of 1904. To these representations His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong replies (to Mr. Phillips) that the Convention of 1904 is inapplicable because it refers only to the recruitment of indentured labourers and not to ... been unable to obtain assisted emigrants and that he has ... confirmation of the allegations against the Chinese boarding house, Mr. Phillips requests my instructions as to whether he should transmit this reply to the Chinese Authorities as he entertains misgivings as to the correctness of the attitude of the Hongkong Government in the matter.\n\n3.\n\nWith a view to clarifying the issues involved in this somewhat complicated case I submit the following explanation of the attendant circumstances of the case, as I understand them. To begin with an indentured labourer is one who leaves China under a contract to serve for a specified time under specified conditions in a foreign land. A free labourer (such as the ordinary Chinese emigrant to Malaya) is one who leaves China unbound by any contract to find work abroad.",

This is of course primarily a matter of domestic concern to the Government of Hongkong; and the whole business may well be an attempt by the Chinese Authorities (similar to other attempts made in the past) to squeeze money out of this particular recruiting enterprise. At the same time a perusal of the papers leaves some doubt in my mind as to whether the complaints are entirely groundless. It would seem that some means might well be found for ensuring that only those coolies proceed to Hongkong who are reasonably sure of being exported to Samoa, or at least for safeguarding the rejected against financial loss.

Mbb Iaginston & Company of Hongkong on behalf of the Samoa Government recruited labourers and chartered vessels to take them to the Island and bring them back on the expiry of their service. It was learnt that the compradores Shen Chin Lit and Lau Yung Lai undertook to engage labourers. Liang Ho contracted to send representatives to the coastal villages of Kwantung and bring men to Hongkong to the Ho Chi hostel to await a vessel. The so-called representatives are called \"Leaders of Piglets\" and get $5 for each man recruited. The Ho Chi hostel gets 50 cents a head rent per day. Those allowed to go abroad when the time of embarkation arrives receive an advance of $15. At present newly recruited labourers entering the Ho Chi Hostel at Hongkong to await vessels are required to hand over a deposit of $20.

He goes round the farming districts and sees likely candidates and also sees their parents.\n\nIf a man agrees to come, he writes his name and age on a piece of blank paper which the \"Hak Tau\" keeps. \"Hak Tau\" makes it clear that the object is to go to Samoa but that in the first instance the men will go to Hongkong where they will stay for a time, be examined, and be either accepted or rejected. Anyone rejected will be returned to the country. The fare to Hongkong is mostly paid by the candidate; but in some cases if he has got no money, the \"Hak Tau\" pays it. When \"Hak Tau\" has collected 10-20 men in the country, they all come down together to Hongkong.\n\nThe \"Hak Tau\" takes them",

This may mean waiting a few days. If the doctor rejects a man, he has the option of remaining in Hongkong or being sent back to the country. If he chooses to return to the country, Leung Hop pays his fare. As to the expenses of board and lodging while in the boarding house, the rejected does not pay a cent. If the doctor passes a man, he stays on in the boarding house for examination at the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs and ultimate sailing. For each man who ultimately sails $17 is payable by Leung Hop to the \"Hak Tau\"; but from these sums of $17 Leung Hop deducts the expenses of all the \"Hak Tau's\" men (whether rejected or passed) while in the Boarding House, plus the fares of those who are sent back to the country. 40 cents a day is the charge for board and lodging in the Hop Kei Boarding House. The Boarding House only takes in men who are brought in to it by a \"Hak Tau\". Everyone who enters the Boarding House is entered in the register and is photographed. In 1930, 768 candidates in the Boarding House were photographed. Of these, 282 were passed by the doctor, but only 251 eventually sailed to Sanca. They say they must have a large excess number of candidates in order to allow for numerous rejections at the strict medical examination.

Leung Fo himself was in Samoa and is now in permanent employment in the Taikoo Docks. He does not rely on this recruiting for his livelihood, as it only happens at long intervals; and he does not make a very substantial profit.\n\nLet us take 15 men as a sample batch of \"Hak Tau\". On the 1950 proportion, 10 of these would be rejected and 5 would be passed. The 10 rejected would in any case stay in the boarding house for, say, 4 days at 40 cents a day each total $16. 10 fares back to the country at say $8 total $80. 5 men in the boarding house for say 10 days at 40 cents total $20. Grand total $56.\n\nNow for the 5 accepted men, $17 a head is credited to the \"Hak Tau\". Total $85 from which must be deducted the above $56. The \"Hak Tau's\" profit is $29 which certainly seems pretty small.\n\nAs to the allegation in the letter dated 18th April, 1931, from the Canton Municipal Government to His Majesty's Consul-General, Canton, that the candidates are required to pay up money, this is absolutely untrue.

        "content_text": "132\n\n114\n\nA. H. CROOK\n\nthe cane borer. Egg parasites of the leaf hopper were found. The cane borer remained a serious problem. Frederick Muir, a son-in-law of the famous English Entomologist Dr. David Sharp of the University of Cambridge and himself a well-trained entomologist, began in 1906 to consider the question of leaf hopper parasites and possible cane-borer parasites. We will tell simply the story of the cane borer work.\n\nBut\n\nMuir studied hard to find the distribution of the beetle borer. He discovered that it existed in most of the Pacific islands to New Guinea and Tenimber, the latter being the most westerly point where it had been found. He consulted the experts, the European museums, and the museum at Buitenzorg in Java. He started from Honolulu for the Orient in July 1906. The first six months were spent in southern China. The beetle borer was not found. Then several months were spent in the Federated Malay States and Java. Still, the borer was not found. In Java, he discovered related weevils in banana trees and in palms, but he could find no direct parasites. Then he went to New Guinea. The borer was known to exist in British New Guinea, where it was supposed to have been introduced; it was known that allied weevils were numerous there, and it was thought likely that some of their parasites had transferred their attention to the cane borer. But this was not so.\n\nMuir then went to West Borneo and spent some time there, and after consulting the Sarawak museum, he decided that the beetle did not occur in Borneo. He returned to Java and sailed for the Moluccas. Many weeks were spent there in search, and finally, in November and December, he discovered the borer in great numbers in the sugar-cane and in two varieties of palms. At that time of the year, the sugar-cane had been cut, but some stalks remained in the ground and showed the beetle's work. One variety of palm, known as the pinang palm, he found that the beetle bores in the soft centre of the tree; indeed, he came across one old palm that was infested from the root to the crown, some forty feet, and contained many thousands of empty cocoons. No traces of parasites were discovered.\n\nIn\n\nBut he had learned a new fact, and that is that the sugar-cane borer attacks palms in certain places. He went to Amboina and found the borer in sago-palms, and there he learned that it was attacked by a Tachinid parasite! Now the problem was to get the parasite from Amboina to Honolulu alive. There was then no line of steamships through the Moluccas to Australia, and Muir thought of trying a sending from Amboina to Macassar, thence to Hong Kong, and then to Honolulu via Japan. But an experiment showed that the fly would die if it were transported in cold storage. Another man, Mr. F. W. Terry, was sent from Honolulu to Hong Kong to receive the flies sent from Amboina and to try to breed them there. But this was a failure since the connecting boat at Macassar did not call regularly, and some shipments were delayed over a month on the voyage. Muir started himself to take a lot of the flies to Hong Kong, and he managed to keep many of them alive until twenty-four hours from his destination, where they all died from no perceptible cause.\n\nThen\n\nThe Insect Menace\n\n115\n\nIt now became necessary to return to the Moluccas and to try some other way.\n\nSo in November, Muir left Hong Kong, accompanied by Mr. J. C. Kershaw. In the meantime, he had received a specimen of the borer from Southwest New Guinea, and he went there and to Fort Moresby, Papua, where both beetle and parasite were found. It was decided to stock some cages with beetle larvae, expose them to the attacks of parasites, transfer them to cages, and convey them to Honolulu via Australia. The first part of the programme was carried out, but before leaving Fort Moresby, Muir came down with a fever\n\nand the specimens all died\n\nbefore they reached Honolulu.\n\nBut he\n\nWhen he recovered from his fever, Muir returned to Honolulu. It was then decided to establish breeding stations in Australia and also in Fiji, in order to relay the insects from Papua to Honolulu. In January 1910, the indefatigable Muir left Honolulu, this time for Brisbane, where he had a struggle with the quarantine officials to get them to allow him to import his parasite material from Papua. He succeeded, and establishing a station at Mossman, Queensland, he went on to Papua. Living parasites were taken by him to Fiji. He recovered (from a fever), and on August 10 arrived in Honolulu with the material bred in Fiji. Many flies hatched out, cages were stocked, Mr. Kershaw arrived in Honolulu a month later with other material, and the main object was accomplished. The breeding of the parasites in cages went on in Honolulu, and the parasites were established in all plantations affected by the beetle borer. And this work was successful. The work of Muir and his assistants during four years brought about results of tremendous financial value to the Hawaiian sugar-planters, and it is pleasing to note that at present Muir is residing, although in bad health, in the south of England, and that he receives a substantial pension from the Hawaiian people.\n\nReaders will have seen with deep regret, since the above paragraph was written, the death of Dr. Muir. By his death, the study of the elimination of injurious insects by parasitic control suffers a great loss. In this branch, he was almost a pioneer worker.\n\nHong Kong entomologists will remember that Mr. Terry, when he came to Hong Kong on his mission mentioned in the above account, gave us a lecture on some of the local insects.\n\nWe can hardly close this review without saying that insect control, to be effective, requires, like afforestation, long periods of time with considerable expenditure from which no immediate return can be expected, but which if properly applied is amply justified. It has, of course, therefore, to be undertaken largely by Governments and such industrial and mercantile organisations as look into the future. But it ought not on this account to be neglected, and every effort ought to be made to have Hong Kong equipped immediately with some entomological geniuses of the type of Dr. Muir.\n\nWe can heartily recommend this book to everybody in the Colony who is interested in the insect problem.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nMay 1932.\n\n133",

We note your assurance that from the capital issues standpoint the Treasury would raise no objection to the raising of a market loan in London. We note also however that you are advised that in view of the prevailing uncertainty about the political and economic future in the Far East, it would be improbable that, for the present at any rate, the Colony could raise money on its own credit on terms likely to be consistent with the general basis of similar issues. We are not sure whether this is intended as a qualification of your assurance, i.e. whether it implies that no guarantee can be given now, that when it becomes necessary to raise the loan, permission would be forthcoming if the probable terms were out of line with those for \"similar\" issues, (by which I assume is meant other loans raised by Colonial Governments). If such a qualification is intended then, as we have mentioned to you in conversation, the Crown Agents would in effect not have any security on which to make advances. This point therefore is one on which we should be grateful for further Treasury advice.\n\nSince you wrote, however, we have received Sir Mark Young's despatch on the Estimates, a copy of which will be coming over to you. In that despatch the Governor indicated inter alia that he considers a loan could not be raised locally before next year.\n\nR.L. JANGS, B\n\nTRZASURY.",
