G. BONHAM.\n\nTo the Honorable DAVID JARDINE, Esq.\n\nWILKINSON DENT, Esq.\n\nC. J. F.

Would you please be persuaded in your rich benevolence to turn again, and come once more amongst us, that we might be again refreshed by your glorious presence, and once more overshadowed by your gracious protection? Now deeply and sincerely Your Petitioners desire it!\n\nYour Petitioners address this respectful petition, wishing Your Excellency peace and prosperity.\n\nTo His Excellency\n\nSIR GEORGE BONHAM, K.C.B.,\n\nHer Britannic Majesty's Plenipotentiary and Superintendent of British Trade in China, and Governor of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\n\n(Signed and sealed by 60 Individuals and Firms)\n\nWIL.

H. CARVALHO, Secretary\n\nHongkong, 20th January, 1857.\n\nTo the Editor of the \"HONGKONG REGISTER.\"\n\nMACAO, 1st February, 1857.\n\nDEAR SIR—The 10 mandarins, who came from Shang-hae, have been here for a few hours, and having taken their dinner at Cau-qa hong, embarked in the ensuing for Casa Branca, and from there to Yan-san and Cass feathers; and 5 of them bare blue buttons. Two of the mandarins have red buttons and peso sent to Caatho to assist Yeh—and it is said, that two of them were formerly in Canton in the time of the first war with Commissioner Lin.\n\n\"Every thing here is quiet, but I say in the harbour a good many mandarin junks displaying a varying flag. Though people are at this time they cannot do any harm here, I would question, that. What could we do prevent their attacking this place and carrying away the heads of the English that are living here?\n\nI am, &c,\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\nHONGKONG, TUESDAY, 3 FEBRUARY, 1857.\n\nNOTICE—The Hours of Posting Wrons in the CENTRAL POST OFFICE, Hollywood Road, are on the Subirth at 11 am, and stand on the Evening of every Wednesday at 7 o'clock.\n\nSIXTY.\n\nWe recorded a pedestrian feat last week —walking to the top of Victoria Peak and back six times in twenty-four hours. The same gentleman did the same task this week in twelve hours, which shows, speaking in all honor and praise, that he is an artful dodger; for the latter feat though apparently more difficult, is in reality easier.\n\nProof—a friend of ours went up and down in fifty-seven minutes.—say one hour at four miles. Four times six's twenty-four; and good steady walking, making the trip equal to twenty-four miles in twelve hours is not very great walking.\n\nTaking all the difficulties into account on an undertaking like this is more easily carried through at one heat than in two, we have no doubt that with, or, from what we hear, without halting, the gentleman who has done the six times could easily do the eight if he set his mind on it.\n\nWe have been trying to persuade our ... C. to put himself in training and try the feat—but he says he has been once to the gap and considers that enough is as good as a feast.\n\nNo. 5. FEBRUARY 3, 1857.\n\nThe climate of London is one thing, and the climate of Hongkong is quite another.\n\na more material matter than that of Hongkong, we must decidedly feel of any corps being sent away from this place.\n\nAn urgent necessity exists for augmenting and making the most effective part of the regular police force here, many of whom do their duty conscientiously to the best of their ability—but the superintendence of London is one thing: and the superintendence in Hongkong is another.\n\nThe screw Steamer Sir James Brooke left this at noon yesterday to Hongkong, having on board three companies of Sepoys, a detachment of European Artillery-men, for service in China, despatched on the requisition at the hands of Hongkong.\n\nThe troops consisted of two companies the 29th M. N. I., the European Artillery-men, Pang, and the Company of the Rifle Company accompanying this force are Major Cheslett, Captain Cazalet, Lieut. Foote, and Passingham of the gun, Capt. Man, Lieut. Forster of the Madras Artillery, Dr. Lloyd, Assistant Surgeon, Apothecary Edwards and Sub-Conductor Ball.\n\nThe Sir James Brooke has been chartered for Twelve thousand dollars.\n\nFrom these and other causes which might be specified Hongkong is not in effect London, and a system which may do very well at the latter place may require important modifications at the former.\n\nWe can never obtain the same raw material for a police here as obtainable in London, but we certainly, both in ordinary and in extraordinary times, such as the present, can make the most of our raw—excessively raw material.\n\nFirst: we would make the men effective by putting them on duty for a four hours beat; and if that could not be done conveniently from the central police station, we would do it from three stations—East, West, and Central.\n\nThe S.S. Auckland brought about 100 tons of shot, shell and ammunition from Pinang last week, which will be sent to China as soon as possible.\n\nBraitonore crew Pressa, Jan. 22.\n\nOn the arrival of the Mail at 6.30 PM of Sunday the 1st February we did, for the convenience of our subscribers, what we have not done before—viz: apply for a pass for two coolies to carry the respective Papers, which will secure early delivery.\n\nTwo passes were granted dated 10th January good for 21 days, the time expiring on the 31st January. Of course the 1st February was beyond the pale of the pass but coming direct from the Superintendent of Police we deemed it all right, thinking that police matters were going on in their usual cuddle.\n\nIn this belief the passes were on the night of the 2nd instant given to two of our Chinese Compositors to take them home, and we were somewhat astonished on being awakened at half past twelve, and informed, that our men were in custody.\n\nWe went down to the police office, and there we found the authorities pondering over the passes, and wondering to see the names of the boys written in red pencil, that being the color of the printing of the new passes.\n\nWe explained that a red pencil is a very common article in a printing office and that the names had been written in with that; then on making ourselves responsible for the lads we saw them let go.\n\nMARRIAGE.\n\nAt Belgrave-square, on the 24th November, the wife of Admiral Sir T. COCHRANE, of a Son.\n\nAt Victoria, Cox, ELIZABETH SANDERS.\n\nMarriage Register xi:10.\n\nON SUNDAY, the 1st instant, the P. & O.

The whole operation was effected with a loss of two men of the Fifty-ninth killed and about six wounded; the latter are doing, worth attention.\n\nOn the 14th I went over to the E-sing shop to have conversation with Ahlam about that contract only\n\nQuestion—Then Sir, do you mean to say you did not know that E-Bing had a bakery near the American Naval Store.\n\nAnswer—What have I to do as an Editor of Newspaper with B-ring's stores.\n\nI wanted to say that I know of a bakery being near the Dutch Fallyly were repulsed, and the Admiral bombarded the city from the Fort and the Niger\n\nOn Sunday night, the 18th instur, an attack against foreigners, us against their own Government, was made by large force of Chinese on the Dutch Fallyly were repulsed, and the Admiral bombarded the city from the Fort and the Niger\n\nIt is a remonstrance made by, know that E-Bing had a bakery near the American Naval Store.\n\nRead, however, distinctively, it shews the prejudices which have to be overcaico before English: Commerce can again take its fitting intration of laying, be had only put it up to deceive the mandrains, who had been troubling him.\n\nI told him, the garden and, after establishing his quarters in Jous WAY-fam stoward the Sultana, I know the Tee-to-tum fort, came down here on the 23d\n\nMARKETA—Notwithstanding the warlike operations which have been carried on since the departure of the Calcutta steamer on the 28 ult.

I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination. And Sir James Perry said, the other day, of Sir Joha Franklin, that, \"If he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger, yet of that tenderness, that he would not brush away a Mon- quito,\" Even for tusir highway men the same virtues is elclmued, and Robin Hued tomes described to us an altissimus prædimum, the gentlest thief.

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

I may instance, on one occasion, I saw him in a room used as an office in Mr Caldwell's house in Gough Street. I went there early in 1857, about a case then under inquiry, in connection with the conspiracy to carry off Colonel Caine and Mr Caldwell. Ma-chow Wong was then seated in Mr Caldwell's office. Mrs Caldwell was there seated, and Mr Caldwell. We had some conversation referring to the case. Upon another occasion I saw Wong Akee in Mr Caldwell's house, some time after he returned from Shanghae, I think in 1855. I cannot recall any particular times, but those two. I have never seen him there in the position of a friend—in the one case already mentioned, he was there, I believe, on business connected with the prosecution, and on the other occasion he did not appear to be there as a friend. I know that in 1855, when he came back from Shanghae, he brought some silks with him; Mr Caldwell told me so. I purchased one of the pieces of silk from Mr Caldwell. Ma-chow Wong's manner and bearing when I have seen him with Mr Caldwell were different from those usually exhibited by a Chinaman in an Englishman's house. I have not observed any other signs of intimacy when I have seen him in Mr Caldwell's house.\n\nI directed early in 1857, Mr Schaeffer, of Victoria, came to me, and said that he believed that his lorcha called the Alma, which had been taken by pirates, was then lying off the Seamen's Hospital, and he wanted Police assistance. Inspector Roberts, and a party of police, to seize the supposed Alma. In due time Mr Roberts returned and reported to me that he had seized the vessel, although he knew that it was not the Alma, because he found about 36 cannon on board—that he had left constables in charge of the boat—that from what the people on board told him he had been induced to call at Mr Caldwell's office, and that Mr Caldwell told him that the lorcha belonged to him, and I believe Ma-chow Wong; and that he wanted then my orders as to the further disposal of the boat. Seeing no cause of suspicion, and that Mr Caldwell claimed the boat, I directed that the Police should be withdrawn from her, without any further inquiry. I am not quite certain, but I think Mr Roberts said, Ma-chow Wong was with Mr Caldwell at the time he went to him.\n\nAnother instance is that connected with the Gold Dust Robbery, a piracy committed in the vicinity of Hongkong, in 1856, in which about $5,000 or $6,000 worth of gold dust was plundered from some returned emigrants. There were some European, and some Chinese prisoners in the case; they were tried in the Supreme Court and convicted. About $1,000 worth of gold dust was found in the possession of different prisoners, and remained in the hands of the police. It was a very difficult and complicated case: the Chinese concerned in it were men of considerable influence and wealth, and but for the zealous assistance given to me by Tong Aku, I am certain the case would not have arrived at a successful termination. I had great difficulty in getting witnesses to speak as to the identity of certain prisoners, and the actual losers of the gold dust—the returned emigrants—although repeatedly written to, and the case remanded from time to time in order to obtain their evidence if possible, persisted in non-attendance. It was stated to me during the progress of the case, and has been stated to me since, and I think Assow the Police Court Interpreter can say more, shewing that there was some connection between some of the prisoners in the gold dust robbery and Ma-chow Wong. The $1,000 worth of gold dust in the hands of the police taken from the prisoners remained in the same custody after the conviction, until some months subsequently I got an intimation from the Acting Colonial Secretary, that a petition had been presented through Mr Caldwell, for its delivery to certain of the returned Emigrants, from whom it had been plundered. I immediately waited upon the Acting Colonial Secretary, and told him that I considered that as these men had in no way rendered assistance in the conviction of the prisoners, in fact had purposely stayed away after their presence had been demanded, that in reason they ought not to receive the gold dust, and secondly that they had no legal right to it. Much more was said, but this was the purport of it. I urged strongly that the property should not be given up, as it would be a dangerous precedent. I was over-ruled, and I then asked permission to deliver the gold dust to Mr Caldwell, so that upon his shoulders should rest the entire responsibility of its rendition to the claimants. This was assented to, and I subsequently delivered to Mr Caldwell at the Central Police Station the whole of the gold dust excepting a very small quantity—7 taels,—which was reserved for certain of the boat people who had had it in their custody, and had been actually witnesses in the case. When I delivered the gold dust to Mr Caldwell, I observed to him, “I am indignant at this proceeding—there is the gold dust; I wash my hands of it altogether; I think you will have very great difficulty in finding out whether they are emigrants or not, but it rests upon your shoulders.\" Mr Caldwell replied, \"I'll take very good care to obtain good security, but at all events Jack will take care of me.\" By Jack I knew he meant Ma-chow Wong. At that time I was standing in the Registration office at the Central Police Station, and saw Ma-chow Wong come into the office with five or six Chinamen, whom I understood to be the recipients of the gold dust. Some short time afterwards, I got a note (R) from Mr Caldwell, asking me to give him the remaining seven taels of gold dust, and I did. I sent an order I think to Mr Grand-Pré, to deliver it to him.\n\nAbout a month subsequent to the apprehension of Ma-chow Wong, a Chinaman presented to me as Sitting Magistrate a Chinese petition. This was interpreted to me by, I believe, Tong Akü, to the effect that the petitioner was one of the emigrants who had been plundered at the gold dust robbery—that neither he nor any of the real emigrants had ever received one fraction of the gold dust, which he understood had been recovered from the pirates—that he had been told that certain men had falsely represented themselves to be the emigrants—that these men had been obtained by Ma-chow Wong—each of them had received a small amount, but that the bulk of the gold dust went to Ma-chow Wong, Mr Caldwell's servant and Mr Caldwell. I asked the petitioner whether he had been deputed by the other emigrants to make this representation. He said that he had, and that they had given him a letter stating what he had represented in his petition. I asked him to produce this letter; he said he had not got it with him, but he could get it. I then told the man that there could be no difficulty as to ascertaining whether the men who had received the gold dust were the real emigrants or not, because I was aware security had been taken for them. I said, \"You go to Mr Caldwell with this note,\" which I then gave him, \"and if you are not satisfied with what is stated to you by Mr Caldwell, come back to me with the letter you speak of, and when I have that, an investigation shall be made.\" The man went away with my note; he returned bringing me a note (S) from Mr Caldwell, which stated that Mr Caldwell could not satisfy the man, because the security papers which he had taken were in the office of the Superintendent of Police. Owing to the security papers not being found in the office of the Superintendent of Police, I directed the man to come again on a subsequent day, being careful to bring the letter with him; but he did not again make his appearance. My belief is that the security papers were not deposited in the office of the Superintendent of Police; they were not given to me, and to the best of my recollection I never saw them.\n\n(39)\n\nOn the first day of my examination I stated, that I had only on two occasions had differences with Mr Caldwell. I gave one of the instances before, and now wish to give the other. When Mr Caldwell was in command of the Eaglet, I think the latter part of 1856, a peculiar case occurred of a man being seized in a brothel by the aid of a Police Constable, who said he was under the impression he was seizing a thief. A man who duped the Constable, and one or two confederates robbed the man of more than $100, and the thieves made their escape with the booty, leaving the Constable with the victim. That led to my knowing the affair, and also to my obtaining information as to the plunderers. About a week after the robbery, a Constable got information that the man who had taken the principal part in the duping and robbery, a well-known bad character, was in the upper part of the house of Ma-chow Wong in the Central Market. The Constable went into the house with the intention of seizing the man, but was met by Ma-chow Wong at the top of the stairs, who forcibly prevented his going further, and while the struggle was going on between the Constable and Ma-chow Wong, the thief jumped out of the window and escaped. I directed Ma-chow Wong's apprehension, and he was brought to the Station, and I think, locked up. I went to the market to make personal inquiry and examine the place, and on my way back to the Station met Mr Caldwell coming down the hill in great haste and visible anger. He immediately accosted me with exclamations of the shame of the arrest of Ma-chow Wong, and saying, \"You think you've got him safe now.\" I recollect telling him that I had nothing more to do with Ma-chow Wong than any one else, and that he must be arrested if he hindered the police in the execution of their duty. Mr Caldwell said, \"I suppose you will let me bail him.” Ma-chaw Wong appeared next morning at the Police Court. Mr Mitchell was the sitting Magistrate. I heard at the time that Mr Caldwell was present at the investigation. I was not there. Ma-chow Wong was discharged.\n\nI have for very many years known Ma-chow Wong; I should say since 1849. I knew for years before that of the existence of some man whom I afterwards knew by name to be Ma-chow Wong, and I knew that that man afterwards known as Ma-chow Wong was Mr Caldwell's principal and most relied-upon informant. During the whole of that time, whenever reference was made to Ma-chow Wong either by subordinate officers of Police, by old European residents, or by Chinese, they always coupled his name with some epithet having reference to his bad character. As a matter of repute and notoriety, I know that Ma-chow Wong has for years been considered an extortioner, a recipient of bribes from gambling-house keepers, a confederate of pirates, and a receiver of stolen goods. I also knew that because of his well-known position with regard to Mr Caldwell, which every Chinaman in the colony very well knew, Ma-chow Wong was supposed to be in possession of great power, and was held in great dread. Of the extent of the dread I became fully aware, when it was my duty to investigate the cases against him. I spoke to very many Chinese of standing and property, and they all exhibited a knowledge of his evil character, but a reluctance to do more than own it. As an instance, at the time that an appeal was made to His Excellency for the pardon of Ma-chow Wong, I knew that a Chinese petition numerously signed had been presented in his favour. Late one evening, one of the wealthiest, perhaps the wealthiest, Chinaman in the colony came to me, and said that he also represented the feelings of another wealthy Chinaman. The man said in broken English, \"I am almost afraid to come to you, I come all same thief, but I want you to tell the Governor, that the Chinese who signed the petition dared not refuse to do so; but if the Governor really wants to know what those people mean, who signed it, let him give each of them one black ball and one white one, and there won't be very many in favour of Ma-chow Wong.\" I told him, \"I can't tell the Governor any such nonsense, if you are a race of cowards...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

Forces in China and Japan, and Lieutenant-Governor of Hongkong, were interred in the Cemetery at the Happy Valley, with full military honours. The procession was marshalled on the Parade Ground, and started punctually at half-past three. A field battery, in charge of Capt. Carey, commanding R.A., led the way, and then, to the solemn strains of the \"Dead March in Saul,\" the 75th Regiment moved slowly into the Queen's-road and towards the Cemetery. They were followed by the band of their regiment, and that of the 29th Native Infantry. Then came the coffin, placed upon a gun-carriage, and covered with the national ensign, the Pall bearers consisting of Colonel Gore, Commandant, Doctor Heffernan, Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, Colonel De Butts, Commanding R.E., Commodore Jones, R.N., the Hon. J. Gardiner Austin, and Captain Raby, R.N. Following next to them, according to a touching custom in military funerals, the General's old charger was led by two soldiers of the 75th, and immediately behind were His Excellency the Governor, Captain Maxwell, D.A.A.G., Captain Shaw D.A.Q.M.G., and Captain Thompson, A.D.C., the Chief Mourners. The members of the Executive Council came next, and after them, the 29th Regiment Native Infantry, followed by a large number of English, American and other Naval Officers, and, finally by the Civil Servants of the Colony, who were all in attendance, and a large number of private gentlemen.\n\nThe crowd at the Parade Ground was very large, and the road to the Cemetery was nearly the whole length lined with spectators. The procession slowly wended its way in time to the music, broken by the booming of the minute guns; and passing the Guard House turned to the Praya, and marched by that route to the Cemetery. The hills surrounding the Wong-nei-chong valley were covered with spectators. On reaching the Cemetery, the soldiers of both regiments were told off on either side of the road, leaning upon their reversed muskets. The remainder of the procession followed the coffin to the Chapel, while the soldiers took up their position outside the grave destined to receive the mortal remains of their late commander. The service was impressively read by the Rev. Canon Beach, assisted by the Revds. J. Piper and Kyle; and the coffin was then brought out and borne to its last resting place. As it was lowered into the grave, the men of the 75th fired three volleys, which were answered by the minute guns hard by; and the impressive ceremony being closed, the troops were marshalled, and the procession returned homewards.\n\nIn addition to those mentioned as taking part in the ceremony, a large number of persons of distinction were present, among whom were Rear Ad. Rowan U.S.N. and Capts. Roe and English U.S.N.; the Hon J. Smale, Chief-Justice of Hongkong; Sir Edmund Hornby, Chief Judge of the Supreme Court for China and Japan; Mons. Du Chesne, Consul for France, Mr. Helland, Danish Consul, and Mr. Overbeck, Austrian Consul, in their official uniforms; Mr. Pollard Q.C., Mr. Hayllar, Dr. Murray, Colonial Surgeon, and others. The 29th Regiment were under the command of Major Ritherdon, Capt. Grant, and Adjutant Prendergast. Captain-Superintendent Deane, who took command of the Police, did good service, and was ably seconded by Mr. Assistant Superintendent Creagh, who took charge of the Sikh, and by Deputy Superintendent Jarman, who was also very busy.\n\nOn Sunday the Rev. Canon Beach, in the course of his sermon at the Cathedral, made a touching allusion to the death of the late Major-General. The Revd. Gentleman observed that, although the Cathedral was not the place to eulogise the dead, he thought he would be expected to allude for one moment to the fine old man whom God had so suddenly taken from our midst. Had he lived, it was his intention to have been with the congregation that day, and to have knelt with them before the altar of God. The Rev. Gentleman had had the happiness of knowing him well, and often admiring the true Christian spirit which animated him both in his public life and also in his own family. He had been taken away in mercy, and the change to him, it could not be doubted, was most blest, as he had gone to rejoin her, whose loss bore heavily upon him, although he was too brave and too meek to murmur or complain. But we should miss his erect and venerable form in the place which he was wont to occupy in the Cathedral so regularly, and from the Eucharistic feast, which he never (when able) failed to attend and partake of. He was a good man; and, by his high and courteous bearing won the love and respect of all, and the Revd Gentleman could not allow this day to pass without paying this tribute to his memory. Thank God! although he was gone from us, we believed that he still lived; for Jesus, the Resurrection, and the Life, in whom he trusted, lives; and the remembrance of his calm and Christian life would long survive in our hearts.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-137 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 281016, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-143 - Sir MacDonnell - 1870 [1-2]", "page_number": 55, "title": "CO129-143 - Sir MacDonnell - 1870 [1-2]", "content_text": "(46)\n\nness to be distributed in charity, in addition to a donation of £50 to the American Sailors injured when saluting the Royal Standard.\n\nAbout three o'clock in the afternoon, His Royal Highness, accompanied by His Excellency the Governor and Lady MacDonnell, drove down from Government House, through streets lined with Troops, to Pedder's Wharf, to re-embark on board the Galatea. The Prince was pleased to express to the Governor his gratification at the efficiency and completeness of the arrangements made in connection with the stationing of the Military and the guards of honour, both at Government House and at Pedder's Wharf, under the direction of Captain Shaw, Deputy Assistant Quarter Master General, and also of those connected with the Police under C. Vandeleur Creagh, Esq., Deputy Superintendent of that Force. Many of the leading gentlemen of the Colony were assembled at the Wharf, and the streets and houses in the neighbourhood were crowded with loyal spectators, who heartily cheered His Royal Highness as he appeared in sight. A lane of boats had been formed, as on the occasion of the Prince's Official Landing, and whilst the Royal barge, followed by that of His Excellency the Governor, having on board several personages of distinction, passed through them, the crews presented oars, and loudly cheered the departing guest. All the Men-of-War in the Harbour, British and Foreign, were now wreathed in the folds of a sulphurous canopy, as, in concert with the Shore Battery, they thundered forth all together a Royal Salute, such as had never before been heard in Hongkong, whilst as the smoke was now and then rent asunder by the breeze, the eye caught a glimpse of yards manned, and sailors cheering heartily. The Officers of the Ward-room Mess had meantime been dispensing hospitality with great profusion on\n\n(47)\n\nboard the Galatea to their numerous friends from the shore, and when His Royal Highness came on board he found a large number of residents waiting for the purpose of bidding him farewell. The State Sedan Chair which had been used by the Prince during his visit was brought off about this time, as His Royal Highness wished to retain it as a memento of his visit and also to try whether it could be made available in India.\n\nThe French Admiral, Comte de Cornulier Lucinière and suite, paid a visit to the Galatea shortly before she weighed anchor, to exchange parting compliments with His Royal Highness; and soon after four o'clock the Royal Frigate left her moorings amid salutes of cannon and the cheering of many ships' crews, similar to that which had attended his embarkation an hour previously, and which must have improved the previous native idea of the Rank of the Personage honoured by so unusual a distinction; and thus the Galatea glided majestically out of sight, through the Lye-ü-mun Pass, followed by the hearty good wishes of the entire population of Hongkong.\n\n(54)\n\nX", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-143 - Sir MacDonnell - 1870 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 281311, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-143 - Sir MacDonnell - 1870 [1-2]", "page_number": 350, "title": "CO129-143 - Sir MacDonnell - 1870 [1-2]", "content_text": "## \n\nItherich the temporary arrangements may be approved and the Governor told that if after further consideration he continues to be of the same opinion of the necessity of procuring the services of a person possessing different qualification from Mr. Hecorson's, he should desire that Gentleman to furnish him with a statement of qualifications and services, & with references to professional gentlemen in England; that steps may be taken with a view of effecting a suitable exchange between him & some other officer.\n\n# \n\nIt is evident.

I also charge the defendant with having sold one of the girls on the 4th for $40.\n\nLum Ating declared states: - I am 15 years of age, and a native of Machiee in the Sing Shan District - On the 4 January last I was cutting grass with a number of other girls and women, on the hill side at my native place. I was going home before it was dark when suddenly persons came and carried me off. I cried out and they tied me and showed some knives, and swords - My mother & five or six villagers came, but the party who had me drew the swords and said they would kill others if they attempted to come to my rescue, and so they did not dare to come. That same night I was taken to a house in Chin Chung, and I stayed there all night. The defendant was not one of the party who took me away, but on the day after he came to the house in Chin Chung where I was. He said \"I'll take you to your mother.\" I asked him where he had come from. We took me to Macao that day, which was the 5 January. I stayed at Macao till the 8 January when I was taken to a passage boat. It was evening when we embarked. We arrived in this Harbor on the 9 January. The defendant then said \"I'll take you to Hongkong\" and he took the three of us to a house in a street relative I do not know. We have been in the same house since we came. The defendant has always given me plenty to eat, and has not beaten me. He never took me out to sell me. He has taken out the other two girls. I now want to go back to my mother.\n\nNo questions.\n\nAsam declared states: - I am 15 years of age - I am a native of Dan Chaw in the Neung Shan District.

I have seen defendant come to my father to ask for this money on the 23 December at San Fang.\n\nWe were taken away by some people. My father ran away and left us with our mother. He was taken by some people. We saw the prisoner on that morning at Macao. We remained there till the 8 January when we left for Hongkong. We came here on the 9 January - The defendant brought us.

Why it is so we do not know. It behoves the Government to know whether any persons are engaged in introducing a false lead currency, depreciating the coin it has issued, and making endless trouble and anxiety to the masses of the poor people to take effective measures to protect the value of its currency to terrify forgers and prevent the issue of any currency that will destroy its credit and the value of its coin,\n\nThe province of Bahang was originally a Laotian region. During the wars with the Laos the Siamese conquered this region, and eventually placed over it a Siamese governor. It is now regarded as Siamese territory, and is the extreme limit of Siam proper on the north-west. Rahang on the west joins British Burmah; on the north it joins several Laotian provinces that are again subject to Chienguai. Chiengmai is a Laotian province, and is still governed by Laotian princes. His Majesty the King of Siam usually concurs in appointing the successor of any Chiengmai Laotian prince who may have deceased. Persons who may be obnoxious to the laws of Siam often escape to Chiengmai, and while there the Siamese do not usually succeed in gaining possession of their persons. Is Chiengmai a conquered province? Is it tributary to Siam, and to what extent; or is it simply under the protection of Siam, as was Cambodia? All these are questions full of interest.\n\nIt is said that Messrs. Vrooman and Culbertson made the distance from Bangkok to Rahang in twenty-two days. Last week the Rev. Mr. Culbertson returned from Rahiang to Bangkok in four days. This is very rapid travelling by the boats usually employed for such purposes.\n\nBORNEO.\n\nSARAWAK.\n\nWe learn from the Sarawak Gazette that the Qhop Estate and other property of Baroness Coutts, at Lundu, was sold by public auction on the 19th September, realising about $1,500. The house and plantations at Tanah Puteh were bought for $800 by Ken What, a Chinese merchant in the Bazaar, who intends to present a large piece of ground to his countrymen for a public burying-place, and keep up the house for the accommodation of pleasure seekers from Kuching.\n\nThe steamer Firefly, formerly the yacht belonging to the Honourable the Resident of Sarawak, is to run in the Rejang river, between Sibu, Kanowit, Matu, and Rejang, a run of rather more than one hundred miles.\n\n[Nov. 18, 1872\n\n4.

GREENSHIELDS.\n\nT. SHELFORD.\n\nThe Government, with a view to the public convenience, has procured a considerable quantity of silver and copper small coin, which the Treasury obligingly issues at par. The Kling money-changers, however, are turning this to account, by drawing coin from the Treasury, for which they charge 2 per cent. on issuing it in the square and elsewhere, persistently refusing to abate a single pie, on the ground that small change is very scarce. Even Chinese shopkeepers demand 1 per cent. It would be a boon to every chief if a plan were devised whereby this annoying imposition might be avoided.\n\nThe state of affairs in Deli is thus sketched in the Batavia Handelsblad. The reports as to how matters stand in Deli are far from favourable. The troops suffer much from sickness, above all from fevers, and as we have said before from diarrhoea and swollen feet. If the Hill Battas make common cause with the enemy, the situation will become an untenable one. As to the bentings, we are informed that they call forth admiration as well by their position as by their plan and strength. Without suspecting it, one finds one's self sometimes suddenly opposite a benting barely fifty paces off. These bentings are so built that grenades scarcely do any harm; by means of a thick bamboo covering, they have been made shell-proof. It will be seen that our brave troops have a hard task before them.\n\nA writer in the Straits Times says: In the eighth paragraph of the Governor's Minute on the sale of the land in connection with the building and repairing of the markets, laid before the Legislative Council on Sept. 26 last, his Excellency reports that at Malacca about 8,000 square feet of land near the Tron Bridge had been sold for $5,000, which sum is to be appropriated for the erection of a commodious market; I was at the spot very shortly after the sale, and was surprised to learn that a plot of land, containing, in my opinion, more than 8,000 square feet, adjoining the plot sold by Sir Harry Ord, had been given to a rich Chinese at Malacca by the Government for his sole use and benefit. The fortunate recipient of this noble gift has erected a block of substantial shops on the site, which is likely to yield a rental of $90 per mensem at least. It appears to me very desirable that the public should be informed upon what grounds such valuable public property has been given to a private individual. A commission is needed to inquire into, and report fully upon, the whole of the circumstances connected with this singular transaction, for which Sir Harry Ord is not responsible--the gift having been made, I believe, under the auspices of Capt. Shaw, the Lieut.-Governor, and Colonel Anson whilst officiating as Governor.\n\nWe cull the following items of News from the Penang Argus: Mr. Baumgarten, the Registrar of the Supreme Court here, is about to retire on a pension, and is to be succeeded by Mr. Bradford from Penang, Mr. Harvey taking the latter's post. Colonel Anson will be back from home by February next. The Government have extended the term of service in the Straits to enable him to carry out the Judicial changes which are forthcoming. Recent failures in Singapore tot up to $700,000, the Chetties suffering to the extent of $450,000.\n\nThe Sarawak Sugar Company's creditors have held a meeting in the Court House, when a first and final dividend of 0 per cent. was declared.\n\nThe Government advertise that the coal seams of Simonjan in the Sudong river and Silantek in the Batang Lapar, about four to five feet thick, may be worked by an individual or company on a payment of ten cents per ton brought to grass. The Simunjan seams are about 34 miles from a navigable river, and the Silantek seams are close to a small stream navigable for boats only, and about twelve miles from a large navigable river. The Governor has applied for a further extension of his offer. The Government offers a free passage by the S.S. Royalist from and back to Singapore to any person desirous of examining the seams.\n\nGovernment proposes to erect suitable building for a Sanatarium on one of the minor peaks of the Matang mountain, if there is any prospect of invalids availing themselves of such a locality. Dr. Houghton specifies the following advantages:-A S.E. aspect, temperature ranging from 66 deg. to 88 deg., abundance of excellent water, perfect accessibility from Kuching by water, a magnificent view over Sarawak, Lundu, Sudong, &c., and a gentle ascent from the foot of the mountain, admitting of invalids being carried up in chairs by coolies, always obtainable from the Rajah's Coffee plantation, through which the road passes.\n\nSTRAITS SETTLEMENTS.\n\nSINGAPORE.\n\nThe dates by this mail extend to the 13th Oct. No later mail had been received from London.\n\nCommercial Report.\n\n(For dates see first page.)\n\nIMPORTS.\n\nYOKOHAMA. There had been a good demand for Grey Shirtings and prices showed an improvement; sales had been on a good scale, and the market at the close was firm, especially for the heavier weights. Cotton Yarn had not met with so much inquiry, and prices were scarcely so high as those last quoted. Mousselines were lower, and with the exception of Black Velvets and Lastings, which were in good demand, there had been no particular change in other Woollen fabrics. Quotations:-Grey Shirtings, 7 lbs., $2.30 to 2.35 per piece; 8 to 8 lbs., $2.62 to 2.57; 9 lbs., $2.95 to 3. Cotton Yarn, No. 18 to 24, $40.50 to 42 per picul; Nos. 28 to 32, $47.25 to 48.25; Nos. 38 to 42, $45 to 48.\n\nHIOGO-OSAKA. Cotton Yarn: A fair amount of business had been done, and a good demand continued for Nos. 28/32. Nos. 1/24 were saleable, but owing to heavy stocks, prices were weak. Nos. 38/42 neglected. Grey Shirtings: The market showed some weakness during part of the month, and prices declined about 2c. per piece; they had since recovered, however, and closed firm. Taffachelas, Turkey Reds, and Velvets, in good demand; other Cottons more or less neglected.\n\nThe sub-committee appointed to consider the Second Supplementary Supply Bill for 1871, having examined the statements framed by the Auditor-General and published in the Blue-book of 1871, and which are separately laid before Council to-day, beg to report as follows:-\n\n1. This Supply Bill appears necessary to cover the only expenditure which exceeds the items provided for in the estimates and supplementary estimates of 1871.\n\n2. The sub-committee desire, however, to call the attention of the Council to the fact that the revenue for 1871 showed a net increase over that of 1870 of $26,055, and the expenditure a net decrease of $5,264.\n\n3. The actual revenue, as compared with the estimates for the year, showed an excess of $40,111—and while the expenditure was estimated at $1,870,006, it proved to be only $1,244,111, thus showing a net saving of $121,895.\n\nTo some extent\n\n204\n\n809\n\nwhich, with a sprinkling of Fychows, turned the bulk of the settlements. Only two or three chops of Pingsang had found buyers. The market remained quiet but firm.\n\nFoochow-Business during the week had been on a moderate scale and there had been no alteration in prices. No transactions had taken place in Oolongs. Congou: Settlements 12,732 chests at Tls. 5 to Tls. 20. The bulk of the transactions had been in Teas costing between Tls. 15 to Tls. 18, and the greater part was intended for the Continent. Settlements for England had been small. Arrivals, 18,750 chests. Souchong: 1,075 chests taken at Tls. 15% to Tls. 27. Arrivals, 700 chests. Oolongs: Owing to the continued firmness of holders no transactions had taken place. Arrivals, 4,950 half-chests. Scented Teas Settlements, 1,470 boxes at Tls. 17 to Tls. 20.4. Arrivals, 2,000 boxes. Flowery Pekoes: Settled 86 chests at Tls. 27. Arrivals, 150 chests.\n\nTIENTSIN. There had been a slight improvement at this port, not only were the waters on the plains no higher, but the dealers had made some small profit on their late purchases of Drills, Jeans, and common T-Cloths. Black Lastings and Velvets had been in some request, but Grey and White Shirtings were dull of sale, and rates unremunerative.\n\nHANKOW. Settling day had passed satisfactorily, but the subsequent improved demand previously looked for had not been realised. Holders were disposed to accept lower rates for all Cotton Goods. Of Woollens: Camlets was the only fabric wanted, but this article was scarce and H.D.B., of good assortment, had been placed at Tls. 16.40 per piece, to extent of 300 pieces. Lead: L.B. was quoted Tls. 1.60 to 4.65 per picul, but business had been very slack.\n\nSHANGHAI. The enquiry for Plain Cottons had continued, but the result, so far, had been unimportant, and had fallen far short of the business usually passing at this season of the year. Buyers had been deterred from operating in Shirtings and T-Cloths at all events as freely as they wished, by the quantities of goods forced upon them, and the consequent declining tendency of prices.\n\nGrey Shirtings: 7-lb. Grey Shirtings in fair demand and scarce, 8lbs. in good enquiry but easier; 7 lbs. Tls. 1.65 to 1.67; 8 lbs. Tls. 1.77 to 1.79 for Mildews; and Tls. 1.78 to 1.88 for sound common to best ordinary; Dewhurst's Eagle chop, Tls. 1.88. White Shirtings: 66-reed, Tls. 2.00; 60-reed, Tls. 1.80; lowest counts, Tls. 1.50. T-Cloths: Fair sales, but anxiety to realise had caused a further fall in value. Common 6 lb. Tls. 1.13 to 1.15; Dewhurst's T. quality Tls. 1.32; Mexican qualities, Tls. 1.45 to 1.52. A sale of 8lbs. Dewhurst's M.T., Tls. 1.72. Drills and Jeans: Both commanded a ready market at quotations; 13 lbs. to 15 lbs. Dutch and English Drills, Tls. 3.2 to 3.15; Jeans, Tls. 2.5 to 2.12 for English, Tls. 2.27 for 8 lbs. Dutch. Fancy Cottons: Chintzes, assorted, Tls. 1.41 to 1.60; Gentian Shirtings, Tls. 2.60; best Turkey Reds, Woollens: Tls. 2.60 per piece; other articles altogether neglected. Market dull; Camlets, Tls. 16 to 15. Other goods had received no notice. Metals: Scarcely anything doing.\n\nHONG KONG. The demand for Raw Cotton had strengthened with the approach of cool weather, and fair sales were being made at slightly better prices. Yarns were very little inquired for, and Nos. 16/24 and 28/32 could only be placed at lower rates. Drills only were in demand, and these were wanted at better values. In Woollens, Blankets had declined. All kinds of tin were slow of sale. Tin Plates were $1 per box lower. Quicksilver was steady. Rice had been in some demand for shipment to Swatow, but at the close the market was quiet at former quotations.\n\nFoochow. Sales had been effected of 1,000 pieces 8 lbs. Grey Shirtings at $2.77; 2,500 pieces 7 lbs. T-Cloths at $2.05 to 2.85; and 400 pieces 8 lbs. T-Cloths at $3.75.\n\nSAIGON. Although stocks were rather moderate, sales, with the exception of 6 lbs. T-Cloth could only be effected at reduced rates. Quotations: 8 lbs. Grey Shirtings, $2.62 per piece; 7 lbs., $2.20; 6 lbs. T-Cloth, $1.70; 5 lbs., $1.42; 4 lbs., $1.25; 4 lbs., $1.10.\n\nEXPORTS.\n\nTEA.\n\nYOKOHAMA. The amount of business done had about been on a par with that previously noted; settlements, chiefly of the medium grades, amounted to about 8,000 piculs, and had been made at gradually advancing prices, the market closing at fully $2 to 3 over last quotations for all except the finer grades, which remained as last stated. The quality had been fair; there was still a marked absence of common leaf, anything below medium being of very inferior quality. Supplies had been meagre, and stocks were reduced. The export had been as follows: Per P.M.S.S. Co.'s steamer China, to New York, 189,010 lbs.; to Chicago, 42,065 lbs.; to Boston, 6,100 lbs.; to San Francisco, 100,934 lbs.; per Emulation, for New York, 500,795 lbs.; per Etta Loring, for New York, 206,761 lbs.; per Leander, for New York, 707,702 lbs.; per Emma Augusta, for San Francisco, about 200,000 lbs.; and per Ceylon, for New York, 445,000 lbs. Including these two latter cargoes and that of the outgoing steamer, the export would be nearly two million pounds in excess of that of last season at the same date. Quotations:-Common, $5 to 28 per picul; good common, $20 to 31; medium $33 to 36; good medium, $37 to 40; fine, $41 to 43; finest, $44 to 47; choice, $50 and upwards.\n\nHIOGO-OSAKA A fairly active business had been transacted. Prices at the commencement of the month to within a few days of the close were easier, but owing to large purchases having been made, a hardening tendency was apparent at the close for all grades. Low grades were still scarce and dear. Settlements for the month from 15th Aug- were returned at 5,500 piculs, making a total of 26,000 piculs for the season, against 16,000 piculs for the corresponding period last year. Stocks were estimated at 5,000 piculs. The Caller On was loading for New York, and the Engelbert would take about 75 tons to San Francisco. The Jessie Isabel was about to sail for New York, with 293,064 lbs. Quotations Common, $16 to 20 per picul; good common, $21 to 25; medium, $26 to 30; good medium, $31 to 35; fine, $36 to 40; finest, $42 to 46; choice, $48 to 53; choicest, $54 and upwards.\n\nHANKOW. More business and a general advance of Tls. 1 per picul was reported. Settlements and reshipments for the week about 11,000 chests, Stock 3,300 packages, against about 1,400 last year.\n\nExport to date 51,000,000 lbs., against 53,000,000 lbs. last year at same time. Exchange, 6 m.s. Credit paper had advanced to 8.5 per tael, and the rates on Shanghai had risen to 3 per cent. for sight drafts and 3¾ per cent. for 10 days' paper.\n\nSHANGHAI. Black: The business in Congous had been unimportant, but former rates had been fairly supported by the extreme firmness of holders. Settlements for the week, 5,489 chests, at Tls. 14.50 to 30 per picul; stock, 29,120 chests, Green: No feature worthy of any special comment had presented itself; a little more had been done since exchange weakened. Attention had chiefly been turned to Moyanes.\n\nAMOY. Only about 1,000 half-chests of Ooloongs had been settled, and buyers were not operating owing to the uncertainty about the course of the exchange market. Tea-men were anxious to sell, but would not make a sufficient concession to counterbalance the advance in exchange. The steamship Teviot had sailed for New York with about 3,000 half-chests Amoy Ooloongs; the steamship Surprise was expected, and the Anglo-Saxon was the only vessel on the berth for that destination. Arrivals of Ooloongs to date, 174,916 half-chests: settlements 158,813, and stock 16,103 half-chests.\n\nCANTON. There had been but little inquiry for any descriptions, and the market had continued very quiet.\n\nSILK.\n\nYOKOHAMA. The market had continued to be fairly active, and a good business had been done, settlements amounting to about 1,800 bales, Hanks sorts as usual forming the bulk. Prices for both Hanks and Oshus (with the exception of Hamatskis which showed a still further decline) had advanced about $20 per picul. Quotations:-Hanks, Mybash and Sinchu, extra 32s. 6d., best 30s. 3¼d. to 31s. 0d., medium 28s. to 29s. 6d., inferior 24s. 6d. to 27s. 3d.; Oshu, extra 32s. 6d., best 31s. 6d. to 31s. 3d., medium 28s. 9d. to 29s. 10d., inferior 27s. 3d. to 28s.; Hamatski, medium 26s. 6d. to 27s. 6d.; Coshu, best 28s. 0d., medium 24s. 3d. to 26s. 7. Silk Worms' Eggs: Total arrivals to date about 750,000 cards, and settlements estimated at 450,900 cards; prices for green annuals quoted as follows- Best $8 to 9.75 per candil, good $2.50 to 3, medium $2 to 2.50, inferior $1.75 to 2; white annuals were worth $3 to 3.90 per card.\n\nSHANGHAI. At the close of last mail a considerable business was done, and buying had continued, partly stimulated by a lower exchange, and about 1,700 bales had found buyers at prices varying very little from those given in our last report. Good Silk had been steady and in fair demand, while common descriptions were neglected and declining. Tsatlee Market nearly cleared of Chop Silk, as also of good medium sorts, and in some instances contracts had been made for delivery of these latter for next mail. Hangchow: Sellers of medium at Tls. 400 to 465, but no buyers. Hainings: In consequence of the absence of demand for Raw Hainings last season, the bulk of the crop had this year been re-reeled. Export of Raw Haining little over 200 bales Stock of 1,100 bales last year, and holders of good Silks very firm. 250 bales included 100 bales of Fatmow's chop, which were held for Tls. 520 for No. 9 Taysaam: No settlements of Kaling reported. No. 3 to 3 Chincum bought at Tls. 400, Shaouhing at Tls. 380, and ordinary Laeyang at Tls. 345. Re-reeled: Fair Haining Tls. 500 to 570, medium offering at Tls. 510 to 550, Tsatlee still in over-supply, and prices weak.\n\nCANTON. Little or no change had taken place, and inactivity had prevailed. Prices were slightly easier, but no actual reduction had been made. The fifth crop, which continued to arrive, was of very poor quality--flabby but dry. The sixth crop, it was reported, will be no larger than the fifth, cold winds, which had come earlier than usual, having damaged the mulberry trees. The high rate of exchange and discouraging news from home still kept buyers out of the market, and in consequence the settlements were very small--under 50 bales; the present mail would, however, take forward some 300 bales of previous settlements. Stock, 2,000 bales Tsatlee, and with the sixth Crop and remainder of the fifth at least 3,500 bales more would be offered on the market this season. Several contracts for Rereels had been entered into, but for cargo ready for shipment there was no demand; some dealers were keeping back their stocks on the strength of the inferiority of the crops to arrive.\n\nThe Messageries Maritimes Co's steamer Pello, with the present inward French mail, arrived at Marseilles on the 12th inst. at eight A.M. She brings 68 passengers, 1,014 bales of silk, 1,912 packages tea, 309 packages copper, 1,868 bales tobacco, and 340 packages sundries for London. The cargo will be forwarded to London by the Company's steamer Copernic, and may be expected here about the 26th inst.\n\nBIRTHS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS.\n\nBIRTHS.\n\nALLEN-On the 10th Nov, at Singapore, Straits Settlements, the wife of Willworth Allen, Esq., of a daughter.\n\nBADGE-On the 20th Sept., at Hiogo, the wife of G.

St. Paul's College at Victoria is primarily founded for the object of training a body of Native Clergy and Christian Teachers for the propagation of the Gospel in China according to the principles of the United Church of England and Ireland, and under the immediate control of a Warden appointed by His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. It shall, however, be lawful to admit to the benefits of the College such Students, European as well as Native, as being educated in conformity with the Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England, shall afford, in the judgment of the Warden, the hope of their diffusing through their example and influence the blessing of Christianity and Civilization.\n\nTHE COLLEGE PROPERTY.\n\n2. All sums of money and books already given and property of every kind hereafter to be given, transferred, or bequeathed to the purposes of the College, shall be vested, for the benefit of the said College, in the Archbishop of Canterbury and his Successors and in the Warden of the College for the time being, and in the Archbishop alone during a vacancy in the office of Warden.\n\nTHE WARDEN.\n\n3. The present Warden of the College is the Right Reverend JOHN SHAW BURDON, Bishop; he may resign his office by letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury and may be removed at any time by writing under the hand of the Archbishop. The Archbishop of Canterbury for the time being shall have the nomination and appointment of all future Wardens: and the Wardens so appointed may resign their office by letter as aforesaid, and may in like manner be removed at any time by writing under the hand of the Archbishop.\n\nTHE GOVERNMENT OF THE COLLEGE.\n\n4. The Government and entire control of the College is vested in the Warden, except so far as any jurisdiction or authority may be by him delegated to a Sub-Warden or others. Upon questions of grave importance, a reference may nevertheless be made to the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose decision shall be final. The Warden shall forward to the Archbishop Annual Reports of the progress of the College, and of the state of the Buildings, Funds, and other property.\n\nTUTORS.\n\n5. The course of instruction shall be carried on under the superintendence of the Warden, by Tutors, English and Chinese—the former to be in Holy Orders or at least Communicants of the Church of England. All such offices as that of Sub-Warden or Tutor are in the appointment of the Warden. The stipend of such Officers shall be defrayed from the Funds of the College, or from any endowment specially contributed for their support, assisted by such payments for tuition as the Students may hereafter be expected to contribute or by such annual grants as the local British Government or any Public Society may be willing to make.\n\nTHE STUDIES.\n\n6. The course of Education shall ordinarily comprise the usual branches of instruction in Languages, Literature, Science, Divinity and Sacred History, together with the study of the language and literature of China.\n\nALTERATION OF THE STATUTES.\n\n7. Inasmuch as occasion may arise in future years for altering the Statutes of the College and for providing a more detailed system of Statutes than is now necessary, it shall be lawful for the Archbishop of Canterbury for the time being in conjunction with the Warden of the College from time to time to alter and repeal the existing Statutes of the College and to frame new Statutes if they think fit, either in addition to, or in substitution for, any Statutes then in force.\n\nIn pursuance of the powers vested in us by \"St. Paul's College Ordinance, 1875,\" we have modified the existing Statutes of the College in manner above appearing; and we do declare that the Statutes above written are the Statutes of St. Paul's College, and that they shall continue so to be until altered in manner hereinbefore prescribed.\n\nA.

The Governor, indeed, has it specially enjoined upon him by the Royal Instructions to make no distinction of race among Her Majesty's subjects. But that even the officers of the Colony next to the Governor, as well as the Secretary of State for the Colonies and the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, likewise never thought, at the time, of excluding any public servant otherwise coming within the terms of the Minute on the ground of his being an Asiatic, is made clear by the case of NG FOONG-SHAN.\n\nCase of NG FUNG-SHAW.\n\n1863. On 29th April 1863, the Acting Registrar of the Supreme Court, instructed by the Acting Chief Justice, writes to the Acting Colonial Secretary transmitting a petition from NG FOONG-SHAN, Chinese Shroff and Clerk to the Supreme Court, praying for leave to retire from the service \"with a pension,\" and submits the application on his behalf \"for the favourable consideration of His Excellency\" the Acting Governor. There is a Minute on the document in pencil, in the handwriting of the late Mr. ALEXANDER, then Acting Colonial Secretary, which runs as follows:---\n\n\"By 7th Clause of Pension Minute it would seem that no pension can be granted but by Her \"Majesty's Government. So that the question would have to be referred home.\"\n\nAccordingly, the Acting Governor in his Despatch No.102 (Financial) of 12th May 1863, to the Duke of NEWCASTLE, forwarding the application \"together with the certificates required by Clause 8 of the Pension Minute,\" recommends the application for favourable consideration, and adds the following important remarks:--\n\n\"I deem it right to observe that NG FOONG-SHAN has never been under superannuation abatements. I do not know why, but it appears to have been the rule with regard to all the Chinese \"Government Employés. It has been that their salaries were considered too small to allow of any deduction from them.\"\n\n16\n\nmay\n\nIt is important to note, therefore, that NG FOONG-SHAN was under the same rule as all the other Chinese Government Employés, as it will be found further on that, many years after the foregoing despatch was written, it was represented to the Secretary of State (the Earl of KIMBERLEY) that the case of NG FOONG-SHAN was a special one. The truth is that the case of NG FOONG-SHAN differs in no essential from that of any other applications for pension or gratuity made by Chinese Civil Servants in Hongkong. Nor can there be any doubt but that the case of NG FOONG-SHAN was considered both here and by the Authorities in England as coming under the provisions of the Pension Minute. For, in reply to the foregoing Despatch, the Secretary of State (Duke of NEWCASTLE) informs the Governor (Despatch No.103 of 5th August 1863) that the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury approve of a superannuation allowance to NG FOONG-SHAN, and adds:--\n\n\"I have to instruct you for the future to submit all cases of superannuation or gratuity upon a printed form similar to that which accompanied my predecessor's Circular Despatch of 3rd May 1859.\"\n\nNothing can be clearer than that any idea of Asiatic Civil Servants in Hongkong being excluded from the benefits of the Pension Minute, or their applications being viewed as special cases, was entirely foreign to the Chinese Civil Servants of Hongkong, as well as to the Colonial and Imperial Governments. The case of NG FOONG-SHAN, so far from being a special case, is an ordinary typical case, and the grant of a pension to NG FOONG-SHAN recommended by the Local and approved by the Imperial Government, naturally impressed all the Chinese Civil Servants of the Colony with the notion that they were not excluded from the benefits of the Pension Minute.\n\n3. Exclusion of Chinese. Case of Ng A-ts'ün.\n\n1870.\n\nBut this fond belief, as is not surprising, soon led a Chinese Civil Servant of less than 10 years' standing to take advantage of the provisions of the Minute, not merely with reference to pension, but regarding leave of absence, and thus he brought upon himself bitter disillusion. As this case throws light not only on the pension question, but also on the vexed question of securing a proper staff of Interpreters, I give all the details and follow up this case at once to its final issue somewhat out of the chronological order of this essay.\n\nCase of Ng A-ts'ün.\n\n1870.\n\n(3)\n\nOne NG A-TS'ÜN, a native of Wong-nai-ch'ung (Hongkong) and therefore a British subject, Clerk and Interpreter to the Surveyor General, had been in the service, on the Fixed Establishment, for six years, on a salary of $32 a month. On 14th January 1870, he produced a sick certificate from the Colonial Surgeon recommending him to have two weeks' sick leave, and accordingly he applied for a fortnight's leave. In forwarding his application, the Surveyor General, Mr. MOORSOM, remarks that NG A-TS'ÜN has only lately returned from leave of absence. The Governor, Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL, thereupon grants the application, but on eliciting from the Colonial Surgeon, Dr. MURRAY, a further statement to the effect that NG A-TS'ÜN is \"suffering from pulmonary consumption and not likely to be ever completely restored to health or efficiency in his office,\" the Governor orders him to be discharged at the end of his leave. The Surveyor General, whilst regretting the loss of NG A-TS'ÜN's services, and stating that NG A-TS'ÜN has ever been of the greatest assistance, especially as a translator of technical documents of the utmost importance, recommends that compensation be given to NG A-TS'ÜN for the loss of his situation. The Governor, however, denies that any compensation can be claimed, and orders another Interpreter to be found. The Registrar General, Mr. C. C. SMITH, then reports that he cannot find a properly qualified man at that rate of salary\" and recommends certain arrangements based on an increase of salary as a make-shift. On 7th February 1870 (C.S.O. No.404 of 1870) NG A-TS'ÜN petitions again pleading \"for pity,\" but asks at the same time \"for the regulation leave of absence in the following terms:-\n\n24\n\nyour\n\n\"For six years' service your Petitioner has had four months' leave. Now according to the English regulations, for every six years' service twelve months' leave of absence are allowed, so \"Petitioner is still entitled to eight months in addition to the four months' leave of absence he has \"already enjoyed.\"\n\nThere can be no doubt that the Petitioner here referred to the Pension Minute of 1862 and thought himself entitled to be treated as any other public servant. His request to be allowed six months' leave of absence, coupled with the promise to resign his post if not restored to health by the end of that time, was reported on by the Registrar General, Mr. C. C. SMITH, who recommends \"a bonus of one month's pay for each year of service\" to be given him \"in compensation for rather summary dismissal.\" Thereupon the Governor writes the following important Minute----\n\n\"I deny right of Petitioner to obtain anything, and do not regard the Regulations devised for foreigners, unsuited to the trials of this climate, as intended for the natives of this country. A year's \"leave in six would be a ridiculous privilege for a Chinese public servant. I at least am not prepared to grant it. I also contend that the rule as to a bonus of a month's pay for every year's service, 'although an incentive to good conduct, is not quite applicable to Chinese Employés. I shall refer \"this subject, as the principle is very important, to the Secretary of State. Meanwhile, as Petitioner \"has borne a good character, I will take the responsibility of granting him a bonus of $100.\n\n(Signed)\n\nR. G. MACDONNELL.\n\n\"9th February, 1870.\"\n\nIt is very unfortunate that Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL, though recognizing the importance of the principle involved, never referred the matter to the Secretary of State. For, the action he took in this case was henceforth looked upon by the subordinate Civil Servants as having the approval of the Imperial Government. NG A-TS'ÜN, a British subject of Chinese descent, whose ancestors had for centuries resided in Hongkong, was thus made an example of for daring to consider himself a Civil Servant to all intents and purposes, and a lesson had been taught, especially to Chinese Interpreters, rare as they were, which they were not slow to act upon. All the best Chinese Interpreters then in the Service left within the next five years. Some of them entered the Chinese Government Service, others the Chinese Customs, others went into business, one (Mr. CHUN A-YIN) became a journalist, and one (Mr. NG CHor) became eventually a Barrister of Lincoln's Inn and is now an unofficial Member of Council. But besides driving the best Interpreters out of the service, Sir RICHARD's action caused the best Chinese talent in the Colony to refrain from entering the Civil Service, as the case of Mr. CHUN A-YIN proves, who, years after he had left the Service, was specially invited to re-join the Service by Mr. now Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY, and who declined, preferring to accept an appointment offered to him by the Chinese Government as Consul General for Cuba.\n\nDec.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-190 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 308974,

He said-I keep a mercer's shop at 118, Jervois Street. It is a shop where Chinese silk is sold. I am the manager. I know Cheng On, whom I recognise, in court.\n\nMr. Francis--Has that man at any time got any samples of silk from you? F-Witness--Yes.\n\nDid he get them from you personally or someone else in your employment?-He got them from me personally.\n\nWhen?-During the first decade of the 4th moon: between the 2nd and 11th May.\n\nDid he get samples of silk on more than one occasion?-Only once.\n\nHow many samples did he get at that time?---Three or four.\n\nDid he change those samples or get others at any time?-He came and asked me to change them and I said we had not any more. He did not return the samples.\n\nHow soon after he got the first samples did he come and ask for others?-One or two days afterwards. He asked for samples of blue silk.\n\nDid he buy any silk or silk clothing from you at any time?-He bought two pieces of silk cloth.\n\nWas that before or after he got the samples?--Before.\n\nHow long before?-Between ten and twenty days.\n\nDid he buy any silk of which you gave him samples?-No.\n\nDid you make any clothes for him?-Yes, two pieces of clothing.\n\nWhat were they?-One blue silk jacket and one tight silk jacket.\n\nAbout what time did you make that blue silk jacket?-On the 20th May.\n\nWhere did he get the silk from which you made that blue silk jacket?-From my shop. He ordered the jacket in my shop.\n\nDid he pay for the silk and jackets?-No, he has not paid the money.\n\nDoes he owe you for them or were they presents?---He owes me.\n\nIs the account entered in the books with the proper date?-Yes.\n\nBy what name do you know him?-Cheng Man San.\n\nIs that the man (pointing to Cheng On) who bought the silk and got the samples?-Yes.\n\nDid you know him before he bought this silk?-Yes, I have known him for many years.\n\nDefendant-Do you remember if I have ever been to your shop to get samples or to buy silk?---No, I do not remember.\n\nMr. Francis-Your Worship, that is the case for the prosecution, and I would ask your Worship to commit the case for trial. Of course if Mr. Witchell desires to call witnesses here your Worship will be bound to hear them and take their evidence. This is one of those cases your Worship cannot deal with unless you entirely discharge it if you decide there is no case to go to the jury.\n\nHis Worship-There are one or two questions which I wish to ask of witnesses before committing. With regard to the list of names, in what light do you wish me to regard that as evidence? It has merely been mentioned as having been found.\n\nMr. Francis-Your Worship will please bear in mind that I did not put it in evidence. It was called for and put in evidence by the defendant himself; he called for it and asked for its production. Your Worship will remember that I simply brought out the fact of the existence of such a book, but I did not tender it as evidence nor make use of it as evidence.\n\nDefendant-In the other case the Hon. the Captain Superintendent of Police inferred from what he had seen in other account books-\n\nHis Worship--One moment.\n\nAfter looking at the depositions His Worship said-The book having been put in and the defendant wishing to examine further on it.\n\nMr. Francis-I do not think, according to the ordinary rules with reference to the discovery of new evidence, he has a right to examine anything other than that which refers to him either directly or indirectly. It is a constant practice in the Supreme Court when books of a confidential character are produced, for instance, merchant's books, that only entries referring to the particular transactions are exposed, the witness of course swearing that there is nothing else in the book or in the accounts which in any way refers to the case before the Court or which affects the prisoner. The defendant is entitled to see the entries affecting him if he likes.\n\nThe defendant asked, \"Is there anything in that book referring to me?\" and the Captain Superintendent of Police was bound to say there was. The defendant is certainly entitled to see anything in that book referring to himself.\n\nDefendant--I think the book was brought out by counsel. He said that $1.10 and $1 had been paid to \"No. 12.\"\n\nMr. Francis-It was wholly in answer to your question.\n\nDefendant-I think not, sir.\n\nMr. Francis-If your Worship will look at the evidence you will see that I simply got out the fact that a complete set of accounts was found. The moment Mr. Witchell asked questions about it and insisted upon knowing what entries were in it it became evidence for all purposes.\n\nHis Worship asked if the defendant was not entitled to examine the book, it having been put in.\n\nMr. Francis said no.\n\nHis Worship asked for an authority.\n\nMr. Francis replied that he had no law on the subject with him, but it was the constant practice in the Supreme Court to disclose only such entries as related to the particular case. Counsel also pointed out that he did not think his Worship need trouble himself about the matter as it must be dealt with at the Supreme Court. Of course the book was in the custody of Mr. May and it had been marked by his Worship. The question of how far it was evidence would be disposed of at the Supreme Court.\n\nHis Worship (to defendant)-Do you reserve your claim to cross-examine on that book, supposing the case be committed?\n\nDefendant-If your Worship commits the case I will reserve my claim.\n\nHis Worship-On that understanding I will say no more about it.\n\nHon. F. H. May, Captain Superintendent of Police, was then recalled.\n\nHis Worship-When did you become Captain Superintendent of Police?\n\nHon. F. H. May-On the 11th May, 1893.\n\nWere the police regulations, from which you quoted rule 73, made before your time?-Yes, in 1892.\n\nThat rule you say refers to constables and not to inspectors; is that so?-Yes.\n\nIn those rules and regulations are there any rules referring to Inspectors regarding gambling?-To the best of my knowledge there are not.\n\nWhat rules have the Inspectors for their guidance? You read out an order the other day; is there any other order for their guidance besides that?-There are other orders.\n\nThose orders would be issued by the Superintendent, would they not?-Yes.\n\nDepartmentally?-Yes.\n\nHave the rules and regulations been issued by the authority of the Government?-Yes, but there are some orders which the Captain Superintendent has power to issue himself.\n\nAre there any orders for the guidance of the police to which you would like to call my attention?-Yes. I should like to show you the order to which Inspector Witchell referred.\n\nIs the order you read on Saturday respecting gambling the only order you have issued on that subject?-I think so. I do not remember any other order.\n\nHas this particular order received the sanction of the Government?-No, it was not necessary.\n\nPage 450", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 363653, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8]", "page_number": 487, "title": "CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8]", "content_text": "9\n\nPersons in the Supreme Court and the Registrar\n\nGenerate office\n\nServants to this Magistrate\n\nThe Indian Teacher.\n\nThree Interpreters or persons in the\n\nPhillippo Barrioles.\n\n483\n\nemploy of Mr.\n\nI have only quoted some of the persons mentioned in the list who are not Police but there, I think are quite sufficient to show that the list is not manufactured to get the police into trouble.\n\nIt must further be remembered that these lists were produced at the Magistracy upon the trial of Shaw Sim.

We have not overlooked the fact that the boundary laid down by Sir George Scott extends in parts beyond that shown on the map appended to the Agreement of 1897. The reasons for this divergence, however, are clearly stated in the report of Sir George Scott's operations on this portion of the frontier, and we agree with the Lieutenant-Governor in considering it desirable to secure a formal recognition of the boundary which we claim. That the apprehensions expressed in the penultimate paragraph of the Burmah letter are by no means imaginary is shown by the list of Chinese forts given at p. 43 of the Annual Report on the Administration of the Northern Shan States for the year 1902-1903. Of the posts* there mentioned, all except the first (Kawng-Hso) are on the British side of the boundary, and should be removed without delay. We accordingly commend Sir Hugh Barnes' proposals for the favourable consideration of His Majesty's Government.\n\n3. A later letter from the Burmah Government, of which copy is inclosed, gives cover to a report of a fight between Chinese and Was in the neighbourhood of the undemarcated frontier.\n\n4. A copy of this despatch, with inclosures, is under transmission to Sir E. Satow.\n\n(Confidential.)\n\nSir,\n\nWe have, &c. (Signed)\n\nCURZON.\n\nT. RALEIGH.\n\nE. F.-G. LAW.\n\nE. R. ELLES.\n\nA. T. ARUNDEL.\n\nDENZIL IBBETSON.\n\nGovernment of Burmah to Government of India.\n\nRangoon, September 4, 1903.\n\nI am directed to address you regarding that portion of the Burmah-Chinese frontier between the Namting River on the north and Nalawt on the south, which has not yet been finally demarcated in agreement with the Chinese. The position on this part of the border was discussed with Sir Ernest Satow during his recent visit to Rangoon.\n\n2. The existing state of affairs and the events that immediately led up to it may be summed up as follows:-\n\nIn the third season (1899-1900) of the operations of the Burmah-China Boundary Commission, the section of the frontier that remained for demarcation was the country between the confluence of the Nam Hsang with the Namting on the north and Pangsang-Nalawt on the Nam Hka to the south. After three cairns had been erected, which determined the spur up which the boundary should proceed from the Namting towards the Salween-Mekong watershed, the British and Chinese Commissioners failed to agree.\n\nThe latter maintained that the \"lofty mountain range called Kong-ming-shan,\" mentioned in Article 3 of the Agreement of the 4th February, 1897, was the hill known to us as Loi Mu, which is a peak and not a range, while the former declared it to be the Salween-Mekong watershed as is obviously the intention of Article 3 of the Agreement, and as is clearly shown in the map that is attached to it. The contention of the British Commissioner was also supported by the figures of latitude and longitude given in the text of the Agreement, but the Chinese Commissioners refused to accept these arguments, and advanced the counter-claim that the integrity of the Sawbwa-ships of Kengma, Mengtung, and Mengko which are left to China by the Agreement must be maintained. As regards these three States it was ascertained that Kengma does not touch the boundary at all. On the other hand, Mengko and Mengtung, which is subordinate to Mengko, undoubtedly possess small settlements in distant valleys within the Wa country on the British side of the frontier,\n\n \n Kawng-Hso, Yong Hkam, Mang Nawng, Long Kan, Pang Long, Kan Lan, Mong Hka, Tamlaolong, and Pupang six of these posts are marked on the inclosed map, the last two are believed to be in the unsurveyed blank area to the north of Mông Hka.\n \n\nthe inhabitants of which act as middlemen in matters of trade with the Wa hillmen. But it was found impossible to exclude all these settlements from British territory by any boundary line that followed natural features or conformed to the line laid down by the Agreement, nor did they appear to be of much importance. Some compromises were, nevertheless, suggested by Sir George Scott both in the north and south, but they were refused by the Chinese Commissioners, who persistently declined to accept the map attached to the Agreement, and produced an inaccurate map of their own on which they professed to rely. The British Commissioner therefore adopted eventually the course which Sir Claude MacDonald foreshadowed in his despatch No. 187, dated the 15th September, 1898, and proceeded to ascertain the boundary single-handed. A single cairn (numbered 4) was erected to the south at a point where the frontier reaches the Nam Hka, and the line adopted between that point and the third cairn on the spur touching the Namting was drawn as nearly as possible in accordance with the Agreement of 1897, and was indicated on a map, and explained by a written description. Copies of both the map and the description were furnished to the Chinese Commissioners with the request that the local Chinese officials might be instructed to respect this frontier. The Chinese Commissioners declared, in reply, that cairn No. 4 had been destroyed, and they refused to accept the line indicated to them.\n\nAt the time that the Boundary Commission withdrew, Mengko, according to Sir George Scott, possessed a few villages inside the frontier; Mengtung had complete control of Mong Hsaw; Chinese miners were working silver mines on the Mong Hka hill; Mong Hka itself, on the upper waters of the Nam Hka, was held by a few Chinese soldiers, and a line of Chinese stockades stood on the Wa Pet Ken, or 'gold tract boundary, some in British territory, some in Chinese. There is no reason to suppose that this situation is in any way changed, and reports have been received in the Northern Shan States that the Chinese have recently had engagements with the Wa \"above Mong Hka,\" and near the sources of the Nam Hka, that is to say, well inside the British boundary.\n\nSince April 1900 no British officer has visited any portion of this border.\n\nA letter from Mr. Litton, dated the 18th May last, reports risings in the district of Chen Pien, and raids by the Wa above Mengtung on Kengma. The Chinese claim to have driven them back. The truth probably is that the Wa, having made their raid, retired to their hills, and that the subsequent attempt of the Chinese to punish them has resulted in the Chinese crossing the frontier. It may be regarded as certain that these encroachments will from time to time be repeated, and as we do not administer the Wa country we have no means locally of preventing them.\n\n3. In the despatch from His Majesty's Secretary of State for India, dated the 2nd November, 1900, it was decided that the provisional line of frontier, namely, either that indicated on the map attached to the Agreement of 1897, or any line on the British side of it which has been formally pointed out to the Chinese Government as the British frontier may be provisionally regarded as the frontier of British Burmah pending a final settlement of the matter.\n\nIt is understood from this despatch, and also from Sir W. Cunningham's letter, dated the 27th July, 1900, that on the particular part of the frontier now under consideration, namely, from the Namting to Nalawi, the line of border decided upon is that which, as described in the preceding paragraph, was ascertained and marked on a map by Mr. (now Sir G.) Scott and explained by him to the Chinese Commissioners. But although the Chinese officers on the Commission were plainly requested to respect this boundary, it does not appear that any communication has been made to the Chinese Government on the subject, and Sir Ernest Satow stated that he did not recollect that the matter had ever been brought to his notice, or that he had at any time received instructions to address the Chinese Government in regard to it. Satow was of opinion that he should now be instructed to explain the position fully to the Chinese Government, and to invite them to accept finally the line laid down by Sir George Scott which, as it will be easy to show, is in accordance with the Agreement of 1897.\n\nThe Lieutenant-Governor concurs in this recommendation. Although the line in question is not a very good line from an administrative point of view, in that it intersects the country of the Was,* nevertheless it represents all, or nearly all, that we are entitled to claim under the Agreement of 1897, and if it is accepted by the Chinese...\n\n* Vide Mr. Bayne's letter, dated June 23, 1900, paragraph 6.\n\nPage 55", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 406389, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-336 - Governor Nathan & Public Offices - 1906 [11-12]", "page_number": 394, "title": "CO129-336 - Governor Nathan & Public Offices - 1906 [11-12]", "content_text": "Was there anybody present when he paid me the money ?\n\nA.

All salaries to be paid by the Syndicate.\" This means work for people and an influx of the Syndicate's money to be spent in the locality, in which all the people would share.\n\nArticle 11 says:\n\n\"On first opening the mines foreigners must of course be employed as mining engineers and foremen, but later on, any Chinese who may be proficient in mining. For subordinate positions of little responsibility Chinese should be entirely employed, and Shansi natives as much as possible, to encourage improvement.\"\n\nArticle 12: \"The miners employed should be chiefly Shansi men, and should be paid fair wages.\"\n\nArticle 13 says: \"The Syndicate shall establish a school of engineering and mining in some locality convenient to the mines, and there shall be selected twenty or thirty promising youths by the local officials and gentry to study in this school under foreign instructors, and thus prepare for future employment on railways and in the mines. The expenses for this school to be met by the Syndicate.\" Thus Shansi students will be able to learn this important business on the spot without going abroad far from their homes and relations. They will be still able to minister to their parents, will be under the benign influence of family life, and will not acquire ideas antagonistic to Chinese methods of thought and comity. For all this the Syndicate pays.\n\nThe Agent-General trusts that the people and gentry of Shansi will see that the foregoing are no mean benefits.\n\nThe Agent-General stated that the Agreement carries with it great benefits to the people of China.\n\nIn China fuel for household purposes or factories is scarce, dear, and of uncertain quality. The Syndicate will, under the Agreement, bring into the market within a short time an abundance of cheap and excellent coal so that all may be able to procure it. Those in North China especially, who suffer from the bitter winter, will appreciate the amelioration of their condition.\n\nThe abundance of coal will make it less necessary to burn wood. Immature trees now cut down for fuel will be allowed to grow. China will produce her own timber. Present much timber is imported from America and other places for building, &c., and is paid for by money sent from China. This money will remain in the country. Coal also is imported from abroad, and money goes away from China for it. If this Agreement be carried out China will soon have enough coal for her own needs, and will in years to come be able to export coal to other countries, and so draw money to China.\n\nExpert mining engineers estimate that there is enough coal in Shansi to supply the whole world for 2,000 years. The term of mining, fixed for the Peking Syndicate is sixty years when all the mines, in good working order, are to be handed over to the Chinese Government without payment. In those sixty years the amount of coal extracted by the Syndicate will, as compared with the whole, be but an atom, while the Chinese people will have learnt to mine for themselves, and will find themselves mean-endowed with a property of great value created with no effort or expense on their own part.\n\nThe Agent-General stated that the Agreement would carry with it great benefit for the Chinese Government.\n\n| Article | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 6 | \"Wherever mines are worked there shall be paid yearly to the Chinese Government as producer's tax (\"lo-ti shui\") 5 per cent. on the cost of extracting the output of the mines, and from the remaining net profit 25 per cent. shall be paid to the Chinese Government. The Chinese Government will not in any way be responsible for losses incurred in the business.\" |\n| 8 | \"All machinery, &c., shall pay one full duty and a-half. The products, when exported, shall pay export duty.\" |\n| 9 | \"The Syndicate is to control the mines for sixty years, on expiration of which term all the mines shall, with all plant, materials, buildings, railways, bridges, and all property acquired by the capital of the mines, be handed over gratis to the Chinese Government,\" |\n\nNo comment on this 9th Article is necessary. It is not a one-sided Agreement. The Chinese Government, in fostering and protecting the mining enterprise of the Syndicate, will be laying up a magnificent heritage for itself, to be enjoyed in the fulness of time. When that time arrives, the British engineering staff will undoubtedly have been replaced by Chinese engineers educated to their work in the mines themselves, and the Chinese Government will take over a perfectly equipped establishment.\n\nThe Agent-General, however, does not wish to pretend that the Peking Syndicate is a philanthropical institution. It is a commercial Association formed on business lines. It expects to make some profit for its shareholders; this any one will understand and not find fault with. If, together with a fair return on their invested capital, benefit is conferred on the neighbourhood in which they work and on the country of China generally, the shareholders will be none the less gratified.\n\nThe Agent-General is grateful for the opportunity accorded to him by their Excellencies to explain matters.\n\nIn conclusion, he asks from the Chinese Government the recognition of the Peking Syndicate's \"sole right\" to open coal mines under this Agreement to the exclusion of all other new mines; he also asks that this sole right may be made clear to the provincial authorities, and that permits may be issued when applied for; and he asks for full and whole-hearted protection for the mines and those working in them, and for the prospecting engineers.\n\nJanuary 30, 1906.\n\n**(Signed)**\n\nGEORGE BROWN, Agent-General, Peking Syndicate.\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nSir E. Satow to Mr. G. Brown.\n\nDear Mr. Brown,\n\nPeking, March 7, 1906. Yesterday I had a call from En Shou, the new Governor of Shansi, who was making the usual round of visits on the Diplomatic Body. He seems a reasonable sort person, and expressed his earnest desire to get on well with your Syndicate. Agreements he said must be observed, that there would no doubt be details to arrange which were not dealt with specifically in the Agreements, and for those he wished to have personal conferences with the Syndicate's representatives, if I would give them letters to him. I said this was an excellent idea, and I mentioned you and Alick Shaw as the men who would have to do business with him.\n\nHe leaves for his post on the 10th March, and I think it would be worth your while to pay him a visit at Tai Yuan Fu as early as you conveniently can. I would give you and Alick Shaw letters of introduction to him, and also write to him to say when you were likely to be at Tai Yuan Fu. If this idea falls in with your views, please send me your name and Shaw's in Chinese. It would be useful in fact to have the Chinese names of all your English employés at the Honan mines, on the railway, and in Shansi.\n\nTo my mind the present opportunity seems a good one for establishing good relations with the Shansi Government, and that it would be well to seize it without delay.\n\nYours sincerely,\n**(Signed)** ERNEST SATOW.\n\n## Inclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nPeking Syndicate to Sir E. Satow.\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nTien-tsin, March 13, 1906. The newly-appointed Governor of Shansi, his Excellency En Shou, was good enough to receive me yesterday morning at his residence in Peking as kindly arranged by your Excellency. The interview, at which I was treated with marked informal courtesy, lasted for over an hour, but, in spite of much talk, little was accomplished beyond, as his Excellency was pleased to remark, the establishing of cordial personal relations. The Governor's opinion was that the Syndicate should begin operations on a small scale in Pingtingchou and gradually expand after establishing a friendly feeling among the people of the province. We agreed that it was most desirable that the good-will of the inhabitants should be secured. His Excellency thought that it would be well to establish the School of Engineering and Mining (as provided by `Article 13`) ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 409154, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6]", "page_number": 220, "title": "CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6]", "content_text": "that this 82 The put to do? latter pag û $40.000, Amy Case and get had of £360.000 superfluous coin, the pay to the Bundes for nothing.

Japanese steamers trading to Antung are at present ships of some 300 tons, chartered by Chinese, and the ship-owners would probably not be able to afford to buy land for wharfage. But public wharves may be constructed. Or, again, an influential Japanese Company with capital would have the opportunity, if it so chose, to drive British shipping off the river.\n\nI understand from Mr. George Shaw, who does some business for Messrs. Butterfield and Swire at this port, that both that firm and the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company have requested him to inquire as to the possibility of obtaining suitable sites for wharfage.\n\nQuestion calls for Immediate Action.\n\nImmediate action is necessary if anything is to be done to endeavour to obtain a drawbridge in lieu of a fixed bridge, as Japanese operations are likely as already stated to commence at an early date.\n\nFurther local enterprise and trade development is being much checked by the doubt as to the construction of the bridge.\n\nThe Taotai says he proposes to construct roads and raise the land situated between the Japanese Settlement and the Chinese City, and hopes that this will ultimately be the area where foreigners will reside from choice. If the land is properly raised the site would be an excellent one for business purposes, but at present the land is low-lying and useless unless considerable expenditure is incurred in raising and improving it. It would, however, be a waste of money to attempt to improve the land, if it is to be finally cut off by a bridge from its natural commercial development.\n\nThe Commissioner of Customs informs me that he has been recommending to the Taotai to build wharfage along the river front of this area, and suggests that ships should be allowed to come alongside there on payment of certain wharfage dues. If the Taotai is not ready to undertake this work then the Commissioner of Customs thinks that the next best thing would be that the frontage should be sold to Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, who would be likely to find the capital to carry out the work. Here again the whole question hinges on that of the bridge.\n\nIf it is finally decided that the bridge is to be a fixed one, then it will be necessary for British shipping firms to come at once to the best terms they can with the Japanese to obtain wharfage facilities.\n\nConclusions and Course of Action recommended.\n\nSo far as British shipping interests and British trade generally at Antung are concerned the fixed bridge constitutes a serious menace to development.\n\nAs regards the general and natural development of the newly-opened Treaty port for international trade, a fixed bridge will be a heavy drag on natural progress.\n\nThe revenue collected up to the present by the Imperial Maritime Customs since the opening of the port amounts to some 120,000 taels, which is half as large again as the amount estimated for. Already the revenue exceeds considerably that of other ports in China, which have now been opened for a considerable time. This fact seems to indicate that given favourable conditions there is likely to be a future for Antung in respect of international trade.\n\nThe Japanese idea of a fixed bridge seems to be largely prompted by the ambition to obtain thereby paramount trading advantages and to eclipse competition.\n\nSuch a course of action will naturally recoil to the eventual disadvantage of Japan, as she will not have the capital to develop the place herself, and she will stifle the natural development of trade from which she would obtain her share.\n\nFor these reasons it is very desirable that it should be represented to the Japanese Government officially that the British Government considers that a fixed bridge is not at all in the interests of the trade of the Treaty port, and that a drawbridge would equally serve the purpose of the Japanese or a site for the bridge at a point further up the river.

Many thousands of chests of opium, already sold but undelivered, awaiting sale, and in course of transit to China, are now unsaleable and the losses which may thus be thrown upon these firms will represent an enormous sum unless prompt steps are taken to put an end to this monopoly and its attendant restrictions.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-367 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 427504, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-370 - Governor Sir Lugard & Public Offices - 1910 [12]", "page_number": 53, "title": "CO129-370 - Governor Sir Lugard & Public Offices - 1910 [12]", "content_text": "of the Royal Observatory at Mauritius \n\nat Mauritius are both \n\ngood men.

The firms mentioned by him were Messrs. Craig and Co., Messrs. Samuel, Macgregor and Co., Messrs. R. G. Shaw and Co., Messrs. Montgomery, Jones and Co., and Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co. To these may be added Messrs. E. A. de Pass and Co., Mr. Percy Colman, and the Anglo-Chinese Eastern Trading Company; while Mr. C. R. Burkill, of Messrs. A. R. Burkill and Sons, of Shanghai, agents for Gossage's soaps, was recently in Ch'ang Ch'un, where, according to local report, he failed to effect any purchases. Messrs. Craig and Co. are now established in Harbin, and it is possible that Messrs. Samuel, Macgregor and Co. will follow their example. The local representative of Messrs. R. G. Shaw and Co. is Mr. A. G. Blake, and Messrs. Montgomery, Jones and Co., whose head office is in Liverpool, have been represented since September last by Mr. Kirk, who returns to England to-morrow. He has, he told me, merely been studying the local market and did not buy. Messrs. E. A. de Pass and Co. are a London firm, and are, I understand from their local representative, Mr. Westendarp, working in conjunction with Messrs. Craig and Co. Mr. Percy Colman, who is establishing himself at Chang Ch'un, was formerly Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co.'s silk expert in Yokohama, and is now connected with Mr. Healing of that town and a London syndicate. The Anglo-Chinese Eastern Trading Company, which has offices both in London and Harbin, is composed of five partners, and the gentlemen who sign for the firm are Messrs. Oxley and Kabalkin, the latter being a Russian.\n\nIt will thus be seen that, considering the rapidity with which the export trade to Great Britain has developed, British merchants in Manchuria are well represented. I am not, however, satisfied that the business, as at present conducted, is founded on an altogether sound basis. There is reason to think that there has been a good deal of speculation, and the impression made upon my mind is that some of the gentlemen engaged are apt to eye one another with no little suspicion and, in cases, even with antagonism. For this reason I have found some difficulty in deciding as to how much weight should be attached to the information with which I have been furnished. Yet it may safely be said that there has been short selling, and that losses have been incurred owing to the necessity of fulfilling contracts at enhanced cost. The Chinese, encouraged, no doubt, by the foreign competition on the spot and by the higher quotations for beans at home, have been holding, and there has been a considerable rise in the local price. Both Messrs. Craig and Co. and Messrs. Samuel, Macgregor and Co. have had to pay several days' demurrage on the steamers \"John Hardy\" and \"Charlton\" loading at Vladivostock, and do not think that the whole blame can be set down to the inefficiency of the Chinese Eastern Railway Company. As showing how matters of this kind can be adjusted, I may state that, according to Mr. Macgregor, the loss suffered in the form of demurrage on the \"Charlton\" was more than balanced by diverting another steamer bound for Vladivostock to Dalny, whence she received expeditious despatch and took a larger cargo; freight also being cheaper than from Vladivostock. It is, of course, impossible for one outside of the trade to follow all its intricacies, but it will be easily understood that, as with all speculation, loss on one gamble may be partially or wholly covered or more than counter-balanced by profit on another. On this account I am chary of accepting without reliable confirmation and without a knowledge of all the circumstances the reports of some gentlemen that others have incurred losses running into thousands of pounds. Thus, Messrs. Craig and Co. are said to have lost 10,000l. and Messrs. Macgregor and Co. 30,000, but, if I have correctly understood Mr. Douglas Macgregor, the loss attributed to him of 30,000l. is entirely dependent upon whether the Chang Ch'un Taotai will or will not recognise two contracts, one for 10,500 tons and one for 30,000 tons, signed by Mr. Baldwin on behalf of the board created for the opening of Ch'ang Ch'un to international trade. He further told me that, the London house having held when the cargo was offered to them and having sold at a good price, he would be able, in the event of the Taotai definitely declining to abide by Mr. Baldwin's contracts, to purchase, as prices stood a few days ago, at a net loss of 15,000l. He has also informed me that, including steamers loading at Dalny at the end of January, he will have shipped 64,000 tons from that port during the current season. This fact is possibly not known to his competitors, among whom the idea exists that he is unable to obtain the supplies he requires. At the same time, that the short selling to which I have previously referred has been generally unprofitable would seem to be confirmed by statements made to me by both Mr. Smith (Messrs. Jardine, Matheson's representative) \n\n3\n\nand by Mr. Macgregor. The former told me that he intended to have nothing more to do with anything but \"spot\" cargo—that is, goods already purchased and delivered—and I gathered from the latter that next year he will not endeavour to ship from Dalny before January and from Vladivostock before March.\n\nThat the trade is profitable to the Chinese Eastern Railway Company is shown by the fact that even last season as much as 162,000 tons of beans were carried from Harbin to Vladivostock, representing, at 30s. a ton, freight amounting to 240,000l. The charge is heavy and, on a steamer load, equals, if it does not on occasion exceed, the entire freight by sea from Vladivostock home. The railway has not found it an easy task to meet the demand made upon it this season, and, owing to the insufficiency of covered vans, it has been necessary to use open trucks. Rumour has it that the scarcity has been occasioned by the sale of 3,000 to 4,000 cars to the Baikal Railway, but, though this report seems to be fairly generally current, definite confirmation is lacking. Open trucks are unsatisfactory even if supplied with mat covers, which, if insecurely fastened or opposed to a strong wind, leave the sacks exposed to the snow. Mr. Willis has previously reported that, as a result of the visit to Manchuria of the Russian Minister of Finance, the freight rates on beans from Kwangchengtzu to Vladivostock were lowered to the level of the Japanese charges from Chang Ch'un to Dalny. That this was solely done with a view to enable competition with the South Manchurian Railway is manifested by the fact (1) that, whereas the rate is 15·5 kopecks per pood from Kwangchengtzu to Vladivostock, the charge from Harbin, which is 148 miles nearer to the seaport, is 17·1 kopecks, and (2) that the distance by rail from Chang Ch'un to Dalny is 439 miles, and from Kwangchengtzu to Vladivostock 634 miles. The management of the railway generally leaves, it would seem, much to be desired, and I have been told that quick despatch and rapid service are considerably hindered by the long delays in unloading cars at the eastern end of the line. My attention has also been drawn to the need of giving a \"douceur\" to stationmasters at points where goods are to be loaded. On the other hand, the railway administration is evidently alive to the fact that the new trade is deserving of encouragement, or it would not have reduced the through rate from Kwangchengtzu to Vladivostock to the level of that from Ch'ang Ch'un to Dalny by the South Manchurian Railway. It also appears to be willing to facilitate to some extent already British merchants who are buying beans, and I understand from Mr. Macgregor that he has secured positions for offices and compounds at Tui Ching Shan, a few miles west of Harbin, and Shuang Ch'eng Pu, Tao Lai Chao, and Shih Tou Cheng Tau, between this and Kwangchengtzu. Mr. Westendarp, too, tells me that he has been able to arrange for the storage of produce at various stations, the railway providing guards at a daily cost of 50 kopecks per man.\n\nThe following figures furnished me by Mr. Westendarp give some idea of the value of the trade to crushers at home:—\n\nOne hundred tons of beans at 7l. 10s. per ton—the present price in the United Kingdom is 7l. 10s. to 7l. 12s. 6d—will cost 750l, and will yield, say, 15 tons or 15 per cent. of oil and 85 tons or 85 per cent. of cake. Fifteen tons of oil at 23l. per ton will sell for 345l, and 85 tons of cake at 7l. 10s. per ton will fetch 637l. 10s.—i.e. a combined total of 982l. 10s. Adding 100l., which he considers a liberal allowance, for cost of manufacture to the purchase price of 750l, and the net profit to the crusher on 100 tons of beans is 132l. 10s. Hull and Liverpool are the main crushing centres, and the principal crusher at the latter is Messrs. Bibby Brothers, who are said to crush 160,000 tons to 180,000 tons a year. It will be noted that the value of the cake is the same as that of the bean before the extraction of the oil.\n\nThe most recent development in connection with the trade locally has been the prohibition on the sale and export of beans instituted by the Prefect of Petuna (Hein Ch'ong) on the Sungari. I shall report concerning this matter in a separate despatch.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nH. E.

As a matter of fact the man, so I am informed, acted as a Socialist scrutineer.\n\n\"I am astounded that such a mistake as the placing of the name of a Hindu on the list could have been made at the office of the registrar of voters. Of course the Vancouver city list is a very large one, and I presume the man's application slipped through accidentally.\n\n\"As soon as the matter was reported to me, I put the case in the hands of Crown Prosecutor McKay, instructing him to lose no time in investigating and acting if he determined that a prosecution would lie under the circumstances. Mr. McKay is at this moment searching at the office of the registrar of voters for the original application form on which Rahim swore that he was qualified as an elector in the Vancouver City electoral district.\"\n\n## RAHIM ADJOURNED ON $10,000 BAIL.\n\nHoussein Rahim, a Hindu merchant of Vancouver, was brought before Magistrate Shaw in the Police Court charged with perjury. After the charge had been stated, His Worship fixed bail at $10,000 and adjourned the case until Monday (1st April, 1912).\n\nThe detectives who made the arrest also executed a warrant of search of the effects of Rahim. To a representative of the Vancouver Daily Province, Detective Thompson said: \"We found among Rahim's papers a quantity of Industrial Workers of the World literature, also a petition signed by a number of Hindus for the removal of Mayor Findlay from office.\"\n\nRahim was arrested yesterday afternoon on a warrant signed by Arthur Sampson, chief of the provincial police of this city, and executed by Detectives Thompson and Levis of the city force. The warrant alleges that Houssein Rahim did on the 14th day of September, 1911, swear falsely before William E. Flumerfelt in that he was a qualified elector in the Vancouver electoral district.\n\nThe maximum penalty for conviction on such a charge is fourteen years' imprisonment.\n\n## RAHIM COMMITTED ON PERJURY CHARGE.\n\nThere was political color and an echo of the recent elections in the preliminary hearing of the charge of perjury against the Hindu, Houssein Rahim, who was committed for trial by Magistrate Shaw, on April 1st. Mr. W. M. McKay, Crown prosecutor, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. G. E. McCrossan for the accused.\n\n| Name | Role |\n| --- | --- |\n| Mr. Geo. D. McKay | Registrar of Voters |\n| Mr. W. E. Flumerfelt | Commissioner for taking affidavits |\n| Detective Thompson | Detective who arrested Rahim |\n| Mr. William Hopkinson | Dominion immigration officer and Hindu interpreter |\n\nMr. Geo. D. McKay, Registrar of Voters, admitted placing Rahim's name on the list from an affidavit signed by Mr. Flumerfelt, whom he knew to be a commissioner duly appointed for taking affidavits under the Provincial Elections Act. He said he had no suspicion in placing the name on the list, as there were Russian and other foreign names somewhat like it, and where you had between 20,000 and 25,000 names to deal with, it was impossible to scrutinize each closely.\n\n\"So you let this name pass?\" said Mr. McCrossan. \"Yes, I did.\" \"Well, I am not blaming you,\" said Mr. McCrossan. \"It is the system.\"\n\nMr. W. E. Flumerfelt admitted that the signature attached to the affidavit was his. \"And did this Hindu, Houssein Rahim, appear before you on this occasion?\" asked Mr. McKay. \"No,\" said the witness, \"he never appeared before me at all. I think somebody has tried to play me and get this application in. I suppose in looking over the papers as I do each evening before placing them in the vault I found that this had been slipped into my papers, and I, glancing over it, thought, 'This has escaped me. I do not see how I have forgotten it, and I had better sign it up.'\"\n\nDetective Thompson said he had arrested Rahim. When he had given him notice of it, he had said, \"there was nothing to it, and it would be the best boost ever given to the cause.\" \"But you did find a great deal of Socialistic literature?\" said Mr. McKay. \"It is no crime to be a Socialist,\" said Mr. McCrossan.\n\nMr. William Hopkinson, Dominion immigration officer and Hindu interpreter, said that Rahim had come to Vancouver from Honolulu on the S.S. Moana in January, 1910. He had represented himself as a tourist going through to Montreal and New York, and had been allowed to land. Two months later, he saw him again, and he told him that he had completed his trip to Montreal, and was returning. Rahim said he was born in Delhi, India. He spoke three Indian languages: Hindustani, Punjabi, and Gujerati.\n\nMr. McCrossan said he had no desire to make political capital out of the case, nor, he was sure, had his learned friend. His client was simply being tried on a criminal charge, and he contended that there was no evidence that would justify even a committal for trial. All the evidence they had that the accused was a Hindu was the statement that he had been born in India, but that no more made him a Hindu than being born in England made a man an Englishman.\n\nMr. McKay promptly produced the interpretation of \"Hindu\" under the Elections Act: \"Any person born in India, not of Anglo-Saxon parents.\" Mr. McCrossan said that anyhow the charge of perjury must fail, because it had never been proved that his client had been sworn before the commissioner. On the other hand, they had the direct testimony of the commissioner himself that he never had been sworn.\n\nAfter some further argument, Magistrate Shaw said that he must commit the accused for trial.\n\n## THE WHITE MAN'S TITLE DEEDS.\n\nThat ancient theory of the equality of mankind receives a rude jolt when people talk of keeping this \"a white man's country.\" Australia is doing the same. In South Africa, once a black man's country, the new white people are raising the same banner. Where did these white men get their title deeds?\n\nToday, Mr. Stevens, the member for Vancouver in the Dominion House, warns Eastern Canada against sympathizing with the desire of the Sikhs to bring in their wives and children. He says that no man who supports this request can be elected a pound-keeper in the province of British Columbia. But who gave the whites the title deeds of Alberta and British Columbia, or any other settled or unsettled portion of the earth?\n\nThe Earl Dudley, late Governor-General of Australia, points out that in Australia four and a half million people control three million square miles of territory, and refuse to admit the people who are not absolutely white. He questions their ability to successfully maintain that position should Great Britain once cease to control India and the peace of the East. Apparently, he foresees a time when the white population will be asked to show their title deeds.\n\nIf Great Britain finds the Sikhs the most valuable portion of the Indian army, why shouldn't Canada, Australia, and South Africa bring in a certain number of these big men from the Punjab to help defend the title deeds? They have proved themselves loyal, courageous, exemplary under discipline. They would add much to the defensive forces of the different Dominions. There are only two millions of them in the Punjab, and the surplus there will not allow many for each Dominion, but even a few would help. Moreover, it would show that Canada is limiting oriental immigration on moral and national grounds rather than on a mere colour prejudice. It would be at least a partial justification of our Christian principles and our interest in foreign missions. *The Canadian Courier*.\n\n## 'TIS A DIVINITY THAT SHAPES OUR ENDS ROUGH HEW THEM HOW WE WILL.\n\nReferring to the case of Mrs. Bhag Singh and Mrs. Bawant Singh and their children, who are under orders for deportation, Prof. Teja Singh has written the following letter to a Vancouver paper:\n\n\"The calumnies and the direct and indirect lies uttered about the Sikh have for the time being produced the result that the manufacturers of these stories aimed at. But such a success is always ephemeral, as all race prejudice ultimately reacts upon those who are moved by it.\n\nFor the experience of India and all other nations has shown that those communities or nations who, being blinded by some external superiority of color, social, political, or economic position, begin ostracizing other peoples as barbarians, savages, or undesirables, are ultimately overwhelmed by those very races whom they looked down upon.\n\nThe ancient Aryans of India when they became so narrow-minded were ultimately conquered by those very people whom they called the Malechhas (the untouchables and the impious); the civilized Romans overrun by the barbarians at whom they sneered; and the Persians by the nomadic Turks whom they styled as rude and illiterate freebooters.\n\nThus has the divine law, which is slowly and steadily bringing all the races together for enabling them to acquire a real spirit of charity and brotherhood, always broken the pride of those who, blinded by their material power and superficial civilization, have worked against the marching tide of human atonement.\n\nHistory is repeating itself on an immensely larger and broader scale, and the Dominion of Canada, the U. S. A., and the Southern Republics of America are destined to be the meeting place of all the races of the world.\n\nThe tidal waves of racial union are part of a great world movement, and any artificial barriers... \n## Page 612", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 462004, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6]", "page_number": 637, "title": "CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6]", "content_text": "## GREAT BRITAIN\n\n## CANADA AND INDIA\n\n### THE KING AND HIS INDIAN OFFICERS\n\nHis Majesty the King, accompanied by the Queen, received on February 11th, at Buckingham Palace, a loyal address presented by twenty-six Indian officers, who were about to return invalided to India.\n\nIn his reply His Majesty the King-Emperor said:-\n\nI welcome your presence as a symbol of the unity of the Empire and as setting a seal upon the heroic efforts and sacrifices in which my Indian soldiers, yourselves among them, have borne a common part with all my Forces from Overseas and from the Mother Country.\n\nI am deeply touched by your declaration of loyalty and gratitude to myself; but not less by the generous recognition which you pay to the kindliness and brotherly feeling which you have met at the hands of all your fellow subjects, the inhabitants of these islands. They are conscious, as I am, that the loyal devotion of India to the common heritage for which we are fighting—a devotion to which we have never looked in vain—has been consecrated afresh by the blood of India's sons, shed far from their homes and in a quarrel which, whilst the might of the Empire protects India's shores, does not come near to the lives and fortunes of their kith and kin. But the liberties of the Empire were put into the scale and with them the liberties which India has enjoyed under our rule, and which, please God, she will enjoy in increasing measure as she advances in the path of social improvement and political experience.\n\nI welcome the expression of your thanks for the careful and scrupulous regard which all my officers under my directions have paid to the requirements of your religious usages. I honour the concern which you tell me you felt lest the circumstances of your life in a strange country might imperil the due observance of the rites which are sanctified for you by the dictates of your religions and the immemorial customs of your forefathers. I recall to mind the words in which my revered predecessor, the Queen-Empress Victoria, declared to her Indian subjects of whatever creed on assuming sway over their lives her will that \"none be anywise favoured, none molested or disquieted by reason of their religious faith or observances; but that all shall alike enjoy the equal and impartial protection of the law; and We do strictly charge and enjoin all those who may be in authority under Us that they abstain from all interference with the Religious Belief or Worship of any of Our Subjects, on pain of Our highest Displeasure.\"\n\nIt will ever be the cherished duty of my House and Throne to guard the sacred promise then given in the letter and in the spirit.\n\n### THE HINDU UNIVERSITY\n\nOn February 4th there took place in Benares an event of unique importance in the history of India—the laying of the foundation stone of the Hindu University by the Viceroy. This impressive function was the culmination of twelve years of effort. The scheme of an All-India Hindu University was first projected at a meeting held under the presidency of the Maharajah of Benares in 1904. In 1911 the Hindu University Society was formed for its further development. In 1912 it received the approval of the Secretary of State for India, and in 1915 the bill for the establishment of Benares Hindu University was passed into law. The main features of this University, which distinguish it from the existing Universities, are, first, that it will be a teaching and residential University; secondly, that while it will be open to all castes and creeds, it will insist upon religious instruction for Hindus; and thirdly, that it will be conducted and managed by the Hindu community and almost entirely by non-officials.\n\nThe idea of an All-India Hindu University has appealed to all classes of the Indian people, and contributions, large and small, have poured in. A long list of Maharajas and other prominent men have donated a lakh of rupees ($33,000) each to the funds. Large amounts have been collected at meetings held in different parts of India. At a recent meeting in Madras 60,000 rupees ($20,000) were collected. The Government of India also has given a grant of one lakh of rupees a year. So that the university will begin its career with a substantial financial backing. The site chosen extends over 1,200 acres, and was selected as affording especial facilities for the progressive development of a great University.\n\nLord Hardinge, in his reply to the address read by the Maharajah of Darbhanga, said:—\n\nThis foundation stone will mark a definite step in the advance towards an ideal that has stirred to its very depths the imagination of India. The demand for enlightenment and educational progress grows ever stronger, and the ceremony we are gathered here to perform offers no small response to that demand, and may perhaps pave the way for its more rapid fulfilment.\n\n### ITS HIGH AIMS\n\nHere, at any rate, in this city is a cause where we can all stand together upon a common platform, for no one can dispute that the Benares Hindu University will add to the facilities for higher education and to some extent lighten the pressure of the existing institutions, while it is the proud boast of at least one of those who have so successfully engineered this movement, that the degree of the Benares Hindu University shall be not only not lower, but higher in standard than those of the existing Universities. It has even been claimed that this University will only justify its existence when the education given within its precincts shall make it unnecessary for Indian students to go to foreign countries for their studies and when such expeditions will be limited to advanced scholars and professors, who will travel abroad to exchange ideas with the doctors and learned men of other continents in order to make the latest researches in all branches of knowledge available to them. That is a great and noble aim which I hope may be fulfilled in this University, and think all will admit that the Government have not been backward to give their co-operation and assistance to a scheme so full of promise.\n\n### REVIVAL OF ANCIENT IDEAL\n\nPerhaps I was wrong to say that these principles are new to India. Though in ancient time there was nothing quite like a modern University, its prototype may be dimly discerned in the far distant past, and the tradition that has come down to us is one of thousands of students gathered round the great teachers as Vasishtha and Gautama, and indeed the whole Indian idea of education is wrapped up in the conception of a group of pupils surrounding their Guru in loving reverence and not only imbibing the words of wisdom that fall from his lips, but also looking up to him for guidance in religion and morality and moulding their characters in accordance with his precept and example.\n\nYou hope in the not far distant future to see preserved and fostered all that is best in Hindu ideas of life and thought, all that is noblest of Hindu religion and tradition, culture and civilization, and grafted upon that tree, healthy and strong in its own natural soil, you hope to see growing in it and of it all that is good and great of Western science, industry and art so that your young men may go forth not only inspired with pure and noble ideals, but also equipped for the development of their mother country along the more material lines of progress and prosperity.\n\nOn the two days following the stone-laying ceremony, lectures were given by distinguished Indians, among others the world-famed scientists, Dr. J. C. Bose and Dr. P. C. Roy.\n\nIn the course of his address on \"Invisible Life\" Dr. Bose spoke as follows:-\n\nTo be organic and vital, our new University must stand primarily for self-expression, and for winning for India a place she has lost. Knowledge is never the exclusive possession of any particular race, nor does it recognize geographical limitations. The whole world is interdependent, and a constant stream of thought has been carried out throughout the ages, enriching the common heritage of mankind. Although science was neither of the East nor of the West, but international in its universality, certain aspects of it gained richness by reason of their place of origin. Has India then any great contribution to offer for the advance of human knowledge?\n\nIn the West there has been no check or limit to the competition for personal gain and lust for power in exploiting the application of knowledge, nor so much for staying as for causing destruction.\n\n### POWER OF DETACHMENT\n\nThis gives us a new look at the innate restraining power that governs Indian life and culture. We may call it the force of detachment, or, for want of a better phrase, the impulse of spirituality. Let us see how this common heritage rests on the Indian mind.\n\n### THE EXAMPLE OF ASOKA\n\nAs an extreme case let us see how one of the greatest of warrior kings became suddenly changed under its dominating influence even at the moment of his greatest victory. In the ninth year of his reign his arms were successful, and the extensive territories of Kalinga were incorporated with his Empire. This is what the Emperor Asoka writes on the imperishable stone as the record of his triumph: \"His Majesty feels remorse on account of the conquest of the Kalingas. Although a man should do him injury, he holds that it must be patiently borne. His Majesty desires for all security, peace of mind and joyousness, and the chiefest conquest is through righteousness.\"\n\n### MAN DEDICATED TO KNOWLEDGE\n\nSo much about the man of the world; as regards the other man who truly dedicates his life for the quest of knowledge in our country, any longing for personal gain or misuse of his knowledge would be worse than sacrilege. Poised as he is between the infinity of the past and the infinity of the future, between the universes of the worlds and the universes of atoms, can anything be worth his while, for so sorry a price can his mind be satisfied with anything less sublime than to be merged in the rhythmic sweep of the world-spirit itself! The excessive specialization in the West has led to the danger of our losing sight of the fundamental truth that there are not sciences, but a single science that includes all.\n\n### WIDER SYNTHESIS POSSIBLE TO INDIA\n\nIndia is perhaps through her habit of mind better able to realize a wider synthesis. One of the greatest contributions in the realm of science would undoubtedly be the establishment of a great generalization, not merely speculative, but based on an actual demonstration of an underlying unity, amidst bewildering diversity. Shall this great glory be for India to win?\n\n### EDUCATION IN INDORE MADE COMPULSORY\n\nFollowing the good example set by Their Highnesses the Gaekwar of Baroda and the Maharaja of Mysore, His Highness the Maharaja Holkar of Indore has made elementary education compulsory throughout his State, and thus has earned the gratitude of his people. His Highness has made adequate provision for building and maintaining additional schools for the fulfilment of his object, and as soon as these schools are ready this order will take effect.\n\n### EXPERIMENT IN BARODA\n\nAn interesting experiment in the progressive State of Baroda in the matter of providing free refreshments for school children has proved a splendid success.\n\nHis Highness the Gaekwar appointed a commission some time ago to suggest changes in the system of education in Baroda. The commission, among other things, pointed out the growing physical degeneracy of the youth, and thought that the reason was that the boys attending school at ten in the morning had to stay in school till the evening without refreshments in the interval. The system of providing free refreshments to boys was introduced in a model school and tried for the last four months, with the result that there has been a marked improvement in the condition of the boys.\n\n### WAR AND EDUCATION\n\nUnfortunately the movement to curtail educational grants is now in full swing, and it is growing apace without the slightest opposition from the people. One by one all the Local Governments have announced curtailments of expenditure. There will be no State-aided buildings for existing or new schools, there will be no grants for improving laboratories or libraries, and possibly the newly-started schools may not receive even teaching grants. The total educational grants in the country had been smaller this year than last year, and owing to the new decision for further retrenchment, there will be a further fall, so that I should not be surprised if the total State assistance for 1915-16 should be less than in 1913-14, or than what it was when Lord Hardinge announced his first large instalment of grants. This is by far the heaviest blow of the war so far as this country is concerned.\n\nThe first question for consideration is whether retrenchment is necessary. In England they have fought it, so far as education is concerned, and they have succeeded to no small extent. Why should we not follow their example?\n\n### INDIAN DRAMA\n\n#### A NEW PLAY AND A NEW MOVEMENT\n\nIn January there was performed at Calcutta by the pupils of the Bolpur Brahmacharya Ashram a new play by Sir Rabindranath Tagore, called \"The Cycle of Spring,\" which promises to be epoch-making. Concerning this dramatic venture, \"New India\" writes as follows:-\n\nIt is a notable feature of intellectual activity that no renaissance is ever limited to one phase. A political upheaval is sure to be accompanied by some revival in the Arts; a dramatic renaissance will find itself reflected in a quickened National perception. It was so in Ireland, fifteen years ago. It is in process of being so in India, to-day. There is a new India in politics, a new India in painting, and a new India is beginning to express itself on the stage. To-day at Calcutta, in a secluded ancestral square off a busy street, a number of schoolboys will enact a new play written for them by their Guru. That Guru is Rabindranath Tagore, and he himself will play one of the parts.\n\nSuch is the simple fact; but the significance of the matter is that the world-famed poet has taken over the work of the evolution of the drama, which the sword of Mars has struck from the hand of Europe. From the dull artificiality of the late Victorian cup-and-saucer drama, the stage was saved on the side of its subject-matter by Bernard Shaw. The Irish movement added a soul to Shaw's brain. India will, we believe, bring the Spirit into the drama.\n\nSuch a development of dramatic consciousness must necessarily bring about changes in method. When the drama was dealing simply with the outer world of desire, which is the circumference of the mental world, its craft was on a single plane. The adding of soul to the brain put another story to play construction. The coming of the Spirit calls for a more responsive medium of expression, a medium that will not obscure but reveal \"the more than man\" and woman that has been seeking entrance to all the Arts.\n\nWe see such an instrument in the delicate and luminous method which Sir Rabindranath has adopted, and we rejoice that it is being developed in his own native Bengali. From such a centre of vivid life a sincere art will be carried forward and will react profoundly on the entire dramatic world. The four scenes of the play are entitled Outburst, Search, Doubt, and Discovery. The final chorus is as follows:\n\nCome and rejoice!\n\nFor April is awake.\n\nFling yourselves into the flood of being bursting the bondage of the past.\n\nApril is awake.\n\nLife's shoreless sea is heaving in the sun before you;\n\nAll the losses are lost and death is drowned in its waves.\n\nPlunge into the deep without fear with the gladness of April in your blood.\n\nFor those who want to know more about India, we call attention to the following books, which, as well as copies of *Canada and India*, can be obtained from McAnish & Co., Ltd, publishers, 4 College Street, Toronto: *\"The Web of Indian Life,\"* and *\"Footfalls in Indian History,\"* by Sister Nivedita (Margaret Noble); *\"Religion of the Sikhs,\"* by Dorothy Field.\n\nJust published: *\"True Story of the Hindu Case in Canada.\"* Price 7c., postpaid.

Mr. HOLYOAK, who was loudly applauded as he entered the room, and also when he rose to speak, said:- As it is past the hour for which this meeting was called I will proceed to address the meeting upon the subject for which you have been called together this afternoon. Briefly it is this.\n\nThat a resolution which was unanimously adopted by your elected committee was rejected in the Legislative Council, and we have now brought it before the meeting to endorse or not as seems fitting to you.\n\nThe resolution which I have to propose, and which in substance is identically the same as that proposed in the Legislative Council in your name, is as follows:-\n\nIt is the opinion of the Chamber that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\n\nNow, gentlemen, I contend that, speaking on behalf of the Chamber, there was not the slightest need on the part of the Government to debate this resolution.\n\nIt was largely academic, it did not seek legislation, it merely asked that the considered, and carefully considered, opinion of your elected Committee should be put before the authorities at Home, who are shortly to meet to consider this very question. We claim that we have a right to a voice, inasmuch as while the greater Colonies will be represented directly by their own representatives, we as a Crown Colony will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and therefore a direct communication from this Chamber in no uncertain manner should be sent Home, quite apart from Government despatches and recommendations which might not be known to us.\n\nNow, gentlemen, we further contend that this resolution was never seriously discussed by the Government in Council, and that His Excellency's speech, if it was not flippant in argument, was at any rate unfortunate, to say the least of it, in its choice of language. (Hear, hear.)\n\nIt has been said, it was said in Council, that the appeal made was largely one appeal based on sentiment, and was one which ignored economic facts. In the first place, gentlemen, it is impossible in connection with this war to ignore sentiment. (Applause.) The entry of England into this war in the very first place was entirely and absolutely due to sentiment, namely, that we should fulfil our treaty obligations to the nation of Belgium.\n\nAnd, gentlemen, it is impossible to conceive that as a result of this war sentiment in connection with it will die down for many years to come, and therefore we cannot afford to ignore it. (Applause.) You will notice that I am endeavouring in presenting this case to present it without passion, and to deal with it calmly and logically as it presents itself and as I trust it will appeal to you.\n\nCommittee, I propose now to deal with the economic argument to which, it has been said, we did not sufficiently dwell upon.\n\nGentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length, but as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it I will proceed to do so.\n\nI said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.)\n\nTo your Chamber, and to your Committee, I propose now to deal with the economic argument to which, it has been said, we did not sufficiently dwell upon.\n\nGentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length, but as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it I will proceed to do so.\n\nI said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.)\n\nTo your\n\n[April 27th, 1917.\n\n209\n\n349\n\n8\n\nApril 27th, 1917.] CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\ndevelopment any big commercial\n\ncome the expression of opinion of businessmen of Hongkong, men, gentlemen, that at least 60 per cent. of the German trade in this Colony was done in British cargo. Now, gentlemen, let us pause for a moment to consider what that means.\n\nI mean that if we are not alive to the possibility of competition, and knowing well we can meet them and overcome them, then we shall deserve all the competition we may possibly have to meet.\n\nThe Hon. Sir PAUL CHATER- then said: Gentlemen, while I yield to none in my detestation and horror of the Germans and the unspeakable atrocities committed by that nation since the commencement of the War, at the same time I cannot find myself in accord with the suggestion that it is in the best interests of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least 10 years following the declaration of peace, and that subsequently they be admitted into the Colony under strict licence,\" save and except under conditions which are, I am convinced, beyond the bound of practical politics, namely, that the same stand be adopted and maintained by all the Allies in the Far East- France, Russia, Japan and most particularly China.\n\nGiven these conditions, then I am with you. Except under these conditions to exclude the Germans from our Colony would be merely to drive them to neighbouring trade centres, where once established they would prove a serious menace to our welfare and trade, not to mention the loss of benefits to be derived from the use of our Harbour by their shipping, and of shipping under their control. (Voice-Rot. They have no shipping. Who wrote it?)\n\nI deem it inexpedient that I should here mention in detail the place where they could exert and unless China sides with us) so establish themselves in our immediate neighbourhood.\n\nThey must be as well-known to you all as to me, but I shall be only too pleased to give my views in full to your Committee if and when they wish.\n\nIt has been argued that with no coaling facilities on the way German shipping will find a difficulty in reaching these distant waters, but can we for a moment suppose that she will not find means to overcome this difficulty? What about the use of oil fuel in place of coal? It would be easy enough for steamers using oil to reach Dutch ports in the East Indies and there replenish their stock for the further voyage to China, and Japan.\n\nThat China has at the moment broken off diplomatic relations with Germany we all know, and I trust that the day is not far distant when she will be numbered amongst our Allies; but to imagine for a moment that when peace is established she will continue to decline to trade with her is to my mind absurd.\n\nI have read that the German Concessions at Tientsin, Hankow and elsewhere, now being taken care of by China, will eventually be handed back to her, and we know Germans to-day are tolerated and trading in Shanghai.\n\nI maintain then to exclude them from this Colony only would be a suicidal policy. (Voice-No, no.) It may be said that we have got on very well and prospered without them during the war-granted but shall we not do so to a greater degree on their return! (Voice No.) Nor do I think we have much to fear for our trade from their competition for many years to come, particularly in view of the statement which has been put forward that they will have to compete without the banking and discount facilities in London which they formerly enjoyed.\n\nIn support of the remarks of our worthy Chairman as regards this resolution, and to add that it might be considered a matter of common and ordinary precaution.\n\nGentlemen. We desire these sentiments to be sent home to the Home Government.\n\nThe Prime Minister, very wisely, since the beginning of the war, has acted in consultation with the best technical and business brains of the country-(applause)-and we are encouraged to think that his Government will welcome...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 468447, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "page_number": 210, "title": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "content_text": "Cei\n\n- 13\n\nhelped them to use that credit realise it would day, I know perfectly well that there is a section of the Chinese community, which lived and had its being, so to speak, from the credit system which the Germans adopted in this Colony, and who have excluded for that reason the wider question embodied in my resolution. They remember that it was their living in the past. But there are wider questions than that for the Colony to deal with and therefore contained in my solution. That resolution has been carefully considered by the Chamber of Commerce and we are of the opinion that what is involved is in the best interests of the Colony, so I leave it with you.\n\nwith them if we can possibly avoid it. Accordingly, I have avoided anything in moving the resolution which could be called exaggeration. One could speak with greater stress and far greater freedom if one could leave oneself free to imagination, and draw a picture of the conditions which the aftermath of this war will inevitably produce. But the whole burden of my resolution has been lost sight of in every argument advanced against it. I do not ask this Council to endorse a resolution pledging this Colony to legislation that for ten years after the war Germans shall be excluded from coming within our shores. What I ask for and plead for is that we shall pass the resolution and send it home to the Home Government as an expression of the Colony's opinion; an expression of\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY--I have one more opinion coming from the commercial men of mark to make, and that is that I do not think this Colony. The remarks which have fallen from H.E. the Governor are a deliberate flouting of the studied opinion of commercial men of the Colony, who have carefully considered the question and come to a decision, and to tell them they are more pigmy champions compared with the past is an insult to the Chamber of Commerce--explain it how you can. With regard to the remarks which have fallen from my hon. Chinese colleague, I would point out that this resolution has been on paper for a fortnight, which gave ample time for him to consult with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce if he had desired to do so. Apparently, he did not. I have also consulted many Chinese in connection with this matter, and many Chinese merchants have told me frankly that they did not desire the German trade to return to the Colony; they very much deprecated such trade and the system which had been adopted in the past. I was astounded to hear the words fall from the lips of the Attorney-General that there were some virtues in the credit system. There is a virtue in the credit system, provided it is under control, but, speaking from experience, and from a deep knowledge of the subject, I say that the credit system practised by the Germans, which was not controlled, was positively immoral. The British banks who\n\nThe resolution was then put to the meeting, and the Governor declared that the \"Noes\" had it.\n\nHon. Mr. HOLYOAK asked for a division and this resulted as follows:-\n\nFor the resolution:- Hon. Mr. Holyoak, Hon. Mr. Pollock, Hon. Mr. Anton, and Mr. Shellim.\n\nAgainst the resolution: - Hon. Mr. L. Chu Pak, Hon. Mr. Wei Yuk, and all the official members.\n\nThe resolution was then declared lost by nine votes to four.\n\nThis was all the business. Council was adjourned sine die.\n\nCHAMBER OF COMMERCE RE-AFFIRM THE COMMITTEE'S DECISION.\n\nThere was a large and thoroughly representative meeting of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce at the Chamber of Commerce Room on April 24th, when certain resolutions were passed which directly concerned the question of the return of Germans to the Colony after the war, and also the remarks made by H.E. the Governor at the last meeting of the Legislative Council when replying to the motion proposed by the Hon.

Mr. HOLYOAK, who was loudly applauded as he entered the room, and also when he rose to speak, said:— As it is past the hour for which this meeting was called I will proceed to address the meeting upon the subject for which you have been called together this afternoon. Briefly it is this. That a resolution which was unanimously adopted by your elected committee was rejected in the Legislative Council, and we have now brought it before the meeting to endorse or not as seems fitting to you.\n\nThe resolution which I have to propose, and which in substance is identically the same as that proposed in the Legislative Council in your name, is as follows:-\"It is the opinion of the Chamber that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\"\n\nNow, gentlemen, we contend that, speaking on behalf of the Chamber, there was not the slightest need on the part of the Government to debate this resolution. (Applause.) It was largely academic, it did not seek legislation, it merely asked that the considered, and carefully considered, opinion of your elected Committee should be put before the authorities at Home, who are shortly to meet to consider this very question.\n\nWe claim that we have a right to a voice, inasmuch as while the greater Colonies will be represented directly by their own representatives, we as a Crown Colony will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and therefore a direct pronouncement from this Chamber in no uncertain manner should be sent Home, quite apart from Government despatches and recommendations which might not be known to us.\n\nNow, gentlemen, we further contend that this resolution was never seriously discussed by the Government in Council, and that His Excellency's speech, if it was not flippant in argument, was at any rate unfortunate, to say the least of it, in its choice of language.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 488998, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921", "page_number": 146, "title": "CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921", "content_text": "20\n\n**Gibb, Livingston and Co.** (W.

These terms were learnt in Tien-tsin nearly seven years after the Government committee had visited our port, on the 9th July last year, since when we have been waiting in vain for the Government's further proposals for the practical application of the scheme as outlined. As far as Tien-tsin is concerned, we have not up to the present thought fit to fight the inclusion of the building values, realising that the main thing was to get the actual terms settled in order that the development of the concession may no longer be retarded to the advantage of other national concessions. \n\nDuring the past fifteen months, urgent communications have been addressed to His Majesty's Government requesting a decision in the matter. These communications have gone from the British Chamber of Commerce, the British Municipal Council, and from various land-renters. What is the position to-day? After waiting seven years, we are still without practical proposals. All we are told is that Mr. C. S. Simpson, of His Majesty's Board of Works, is being sent to China to make a valuation of the buildings. We have asked for bread and we are given a stone. It is stated that Mr. Simpson will probably take about a year to complete his task, and he has no authority to do anything more. It is absolutely incomprehensible why the Government have chosen to ignore the means available to them out here to obtain all the information that they should require. Land values are fixed from time to time by municipal assessors and were submitted to the official representing the Treasury in 1913. Records are in existence in regard to all buildings that have been erected for years past. In the meantime, landholders are naturally very chary of putting up new and extensive buildings for which payment may be exacted by the Government. \n\n\n## THE SHAW CASE OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF ASSOCIATION'S VIEWS \n\nAt the conclusion of the conference on Saturday, the 6th November, Mr. A. W. Burkill, chairman, said :-- \n\nIn my opening address on Wednesday last, I made a short reference to the case of Mr. G. L. Shaw, and stated that I would deal with this to-day. You will all appreciate that a question of such a political nature as the case of Mr. G. L. Shaw cannot be discussed when His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires is present at our conference. As, however, Mr. Clive has had to return to Peking this morning, I am at liberty publicly to state the views of this Association of British Chambers of Commerce in China and Hong Kong towards Japan and her policy. \n\nI will, however, first deal with the case of Mr. Shaw. I think it may be useful if I recall the facts. These have reached us from time to time in somewhat distorted form, and it is only recently that we have learnt the whole truth. \n\nMr. Shaw has carried on business as a merchant in Antung for a number of years. Antung is adjacent to the Korean frontier, and he was the only British merchant in that part of Manchuria. In addition to his own business, he acted as agent for two of the biggest British merchant firms in Shanghai. He was an active and energetic associate member of the British Chamber of Commerce here, was respected by the Chinese in Manchuria, and by all who had business dealings with him, as a patriot who had been indefatigable in supporting Allied aims during the war. At the beginning of this year, there were rumours that the Japanese had had trouble with Mr. Shaw and had alleged that the ships for which he acted as agent were being used to convey Korean malcontents from Shanghai to Korea. Early in the summer, these complaints occurred again, and I understand that the British consul from Mukden visited Antung at the end of June in order to ascertain the truth about these reports and to advise Mr. Shaw not to interfere between Japanese and Koreans. Care was taken to point out to everyone concerned in Antung that the British courts were available if there was any actual charge against him. No charges were in fact forthcoming, and Mr. Shaw's family was therefore greatly disturbed when only a fortnight later he was suddenly arrested by the Japanese just inside the Korean frontier. He was then charged with being in Korea without a passport. His house in Antung was picketed by Japanese police, and he was placed in solitary confinement in a Japanese prison. Various charges have been urged against him from time to time, that he was in Korea without a passport, that he allowed Korean malcontents, carrying arms and explosives, to leave Shanghai for Korea on his ships, ships, be it noted, for which he was merely the agent in Antung and over whose crew, cargo, or passengers he could exercise no control while they were loading in Shanghai. At Antung, the customs is staffed almost entirely by Japanese, and we may safely assume that they would not allow Korean malcontents to land arms or explosives from any ship, whether Mr. Shaw's or anybody else's. With regard to the charge of harbouring Korean malcontents, we have no information, but many worthy people in all countries harbour discontented subjects of other countries and even show their sympathy for them in more practical form, but such sympathy has never yet been regarded as a crime for which a person can be indicted. \n\nOn what grounds, therefore, did the Japanese authorities arrest Mr. Shaw and keep him in prison? So far as we can ascertain, they have never brought him to trial, and we can only therefore judge the grounds of their complaint from the inspired communiqués which have appeared in the Japanese press. The nature of these complaints I have indicated above. They have amounted to an assertion that Mr. Shaw was in the habit of befriending and assisting disaffected Koreans. The Japanese authorities claim that this amounts to plotting against the safety of the State. I am given to understand that a legal point of some interest is involved in the Japanese authorities' attitude towards Mr. Shaw, namely, whether the State has the power to try the subject of another State for an offence committed outside its own border and its own jurisdiction. It appears that the practice of various countries differs on this point. Some continental countries, including France and Germany, hold that they have the right to try such offenders if once they place themselves within jurisdiction. Great Britain and America claim no such right, which indeed appears to be repugnant to Anglo-Saxon tradition. \n\nMr. Shaw was arrested in Korea and imprisoned in a Japanese gaol for an offence alleged to have been committed in China, where Mr. Shaw was living within the jurisdiction of the British courts. Had Mr. Shaw been brought to trial immediately and the charges against him openly proved, we should probably have heard very little of these fine points of international law practice. But Mr. Shaw was kept in prison for four months during all the heat of summer, was cut off from communication with his friends, and was never brought to trial on any charges whatever. \n\n\"Gentlemen, I think I am putting it moderately, when I say that we cannot regard that as a conciliatory act on the part of the Japanese Government. Mr. Shaw is one of our associate members and has been a bulwark of British commerce in Antung. He had been an outspoken critic of Japanese methods in Manchuria whenever he believed that such methods constituted discrimination against British trade. Under these circumstances, it is not to be wondered at if a suspicion has arisen that that is his real offence in Japanese eyes. We received a telegram yesterday informing us that Mr. Shaw has been released on bail. I feel certain that I voice the opinion, not only of this conference, but also of the whole British community in the Far East when I say that that is not a satisfactory solution of, or termination to, the case.\" (Applause.) \n\nIf Mr. Shaw has committed any offence, let him be duly charged and brought to an open and speedy trial before a court of competent jurisdiction. If no charge can be brought against him, then British opinion will demand that he be amply compensated for the outrage that has been inflicted on him. \n\nGentlemen, I have dealt thus fully with the case of Mr. G. L. Shaw, as I deem the principle involved by his arrest of the greatest importance, and it is viewed with a grave feeling of apprehension by some of our affiliated Chambers. \n\n\"This association's views on Japanese attitude and policy in Tsingtao, and the obnoxious quarantine regulations imposed this summer, which appear to us to be economic weapons in disguise, have been fully dealt with recently, so I do not propose to touch on them again. \"I mention them, however, as taken in conjunction with our attitude on the Shaw case, it lays us open to the charge of being anti-Japanese; I would like to take this opportunity of stating publicly that we are not anti-Japanese in the sense that we are opposed to Japan's legitimate aspirations. We realise the vital character from her point of view of many of her aims, and we are perfectly willing that she should succeed and prosper in such aims. Both from a political and an economic standpoint, we see how much is to be gained from co-operation and compromise, and how much there is to lose from mutual jealousies and antagonisms. In a word, we want as far as possible to work with Japan and not against her. Whilst we wish this, indeed because we wish it, we are bound when we think that... \n\n[5815 e-3]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 489352, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921", "page_number": 500, "title": "CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921", "content_text": "497 \n\n22 \n\nJapan is acting in a manner inimical to our interests to tell her so.

J. Norbury said: \n\nBefore moving the resolution it will doubtless be of interest to this conference to learn to what extent the proposal for China to join the Berne Convention would operate in British interests, and to that end I have taken extracts from the articles under which the parties to the convention bind themselves to protect the copyright properties of other nationals. \n\nIn 1886 the signatories to the convention were Great Britain, Germany, France, Belgium, Hayti, Italy, Liberia, Spain, Switzerland and Tunis and with the exception of Liberia, the signatures of the plenipotentiaries to that convention were in due course ratified. \n\nIn 1896 the terms of the convention were amended, and by that time Luxemburg, Monaco and Montenegro had also become parties thereto. \n\nExtracts from the convention are as follows: \n\n| Article | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | The contracting States are constituted into a union for the protection of the rights of authors over their literary and artistic works. |\n| 2 | Authors of any of the countries of the union, or their lawful representatives, shall enjoy in the other countries for their works, whether published in one of these countries or unpublished, the rights which the respective laws do now or may hereafter grant to natives. |\n| | **The enjoyment of these rights is subject to the accomplishment of the conditions and formalities prescribed by law in the country of origin of the work, and cannot exceed in the other countries the term of protection granted in the said country of origin.** |\n| 4 | The expression \"literary and artistic works\" comprehends books, pamphlets, and all other writings; dramatic or dramatico-musical works, musical compositions with or without words; works of design, painting, sculpture, and engraving, lithographs, illustrations, geographical charts; plans, sketches, and plastic works relative to geography, topography, architecture, or science in general; in fact, every production whatsoever in the literary, scientific, or artistic domain which can be published by any mode of impression or reproduction. |\n| 5 | Authors of any of the countries of the union, or their lawful representatives, shall enjoy in the other countries the exclusive right of making or authorising the translation of their works until the expiration of ten years from the publication of the original work in one of the countries of the union. |\n| 6 | It is nevertheless agreed that the tribunals may, if necessary, require the production of a certificate from the competent authority, to the effect that the formalities prescribed by law in the country of origin have been accomplished, as contemplated in article 2. |\n\nIt will be noted that the United States of America and China are not included in the list of nations becoming parties to the Berne Convention. \n\n23 \n\nChina has, however, a somewhat crude enactment whereby her own nationals may register their copyrights with the Minister of the Interior, but this does not appear to specifically state that it will afford protection to foreign copyright holders. America and England both entered into treaties with China to give reciprocal protection to copyright owners but the regulations proved to be vague and unsatisfactory and quickly fell into disuse. \n\nIt should also be borne in mind that by the Shanghai Treaty of 1902 China specifically undertook to provide protection to trade marks and copyrights, by enacting laws to that end. \n\nIt is, therefore, considered to be a feasible and proper step to ask the Chinese Government to fulfil her undertaking by securing to British authors, artists and publishers the same amount of security they enjoy at home, by becoming parties to the Berne Convention of 1886 and as amended in 1896. \n\n## YANG-TSZE Conservancy \n\n### Necessity for a Technical Commission \n\nIt was unanimously agreed: \n\n\"That as a preliminary to the appointment by the Chinese Government of a Conservancy Board to improve the navigation of the Yang-tsze, as recommended in the resolution passed at last year's conference, this conference would strongly urge the nomination of a technical commission to make a preliminary study of the whole question with a view to formulating general proposals as to the lines on which this work should be taken in hand.\" \n\nShanghai (Mr. Humphrys)—The mover of last year's resolution on this subject calculated that it would occupy him the full four days of the conference to enumerate the many important cities and the varied interests involved in the conservancy of the Yang-tze. \"I am therefore sure you will approve if I dismiss very briefly and in very general terms the objects to be achieved. \n\nThese may be stated as follows: \n\n* Firstly. To prevent any material diversion of the river from its present normal course, such diversion for instance as might result in the complete isolation of a treaty port and the destruction of a large area of country. \n* Secondly. To maintain a constant channel throughout the year for vessels of more than 9 to 10 foot draft. \n* Thirdly. To maintain adequate deep water frontage at treaty ports and at all present or future important ports of call. \n* Fourthly. To prevent or at least restrict the effect of destructive floods. \n* Fifthly. To convert large areas from what are now water-logged wastes into fertile agricultural land. \n* Sixthly. To create canals and improve irrigation where necessary. \n\nThis modest programme—which I do not suggest is exhaustive—is likely to involve engineering works of some difficulty and great cost: but the interests at stake are almost incalculable. \n\nWe have not yet arrived at a stage when we can indicate except in the very general terms already mentioned either what improvements are required or where they are required, by what methods they are to be attained or how they can be financed. \n\nThe present state of mind of most of us on this subject can best be described as one of almost complete ignorance: but we cannot afford to remain in ignorance: the future of the Yang-tsze is too important—to vital to Chinese and foreign interests alike. \n\nThe object of the present resolution then is to start nearer the beginning than our proposals of last year, and to take the initial step towards remedying our ignorance. We want to get some idea as to what tricks the Yang-tsze is likely to play on us within the next five or ten years if she is allowed to pursue her impetuous career unchaperoned and unchecked: we want some indication as to what restraints should be imposed on her and where and how they should be imposed and we want to distinguish between the more urgent requirements of the present and the probable requirements of the future.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 490235, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "page_number": 726, "title": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "content_text": "## APPENDIX IV \n### Railways \n\nAccording to the China Report for 1919, we have financed and constructed for the Chinese Government over 800 miles of railway in the Yangtsze valley, and hold loan agreements for some 2,000 miles more.\n\n| Railway | Miles in operation | Miles surveyed |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1.

This clause shall not be varied or affected in any way by Chinese or other characters written or chopped on it by any person purporting to be acting on behalf of either party.\"\n\n(2.) Sellers are not responsible for delay in shipment or non-fulfilment of contract if occasioned by Strikes, Fire, Floods, War or Civil commotions, or any other circumstances beyond their control, and the certificate of any British Chamber of Commerce or other representative Trade Corporation as to the cause of delay in shipment or non-fulfilment of contract shall be conclusive evidence thereof.\n\n(3.) Any dispute regarding quality, shade, finish, design, packing, etc., not settled amicably shall be referred to arbitrators to be appointed by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce.\n\n(4.) Any goods not taken delivery of within the time specified shall remain at buyer's risk in every respect.\n\n(5.) No terms of this contract other than those expressed in the English language shall affect or be binding on the sellers.\n\n229\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I think the idea is that it should replace the old contract.\n\nMr. COUSLAND asked that if a contract for goods was made and the shipments were spread over three months, and the last shipment did not arrive in time, could the buyer turn round and refuse to accept the goods? They had had cases taken to Court upon the point and personally he felt rather aggrieved about it. It came under the Sales and Goods Act.\n\nMr. VAN ANDEL said he had compared the present form with the old one and found a good many differences. There were two clauses in the old contract which were missed entirely in the proposed one, and he thought it advisable that they should be inserted. The one referred to the question of shades. A couple of years ago they were told by Manchester that they could not expect the exact imitation of old shades of samples, and so far as he knew that had not yet been withdrawn. He thought importers should be protected against deviation. The other addition referred to clause 3. He suggested it should be added that when the goods arrived in the market in an imperfect state buyers should take delivery, and any dispute with regard to quality, shade, etc., should be referred to arbitration. He thought that was the custom in the Colony.\n\nMr. PLUMMER (as Chairman of the Sub-Committee) said the sub-committee had very carefully considered the very large number of contracts which were at present used in the Colony by various importers, and it was quite impossible to cover everything which some importers desired. As to Mr. Cousland's point, if any portion of the goods were late through unforeseen causes they were covered by common law. If they were late from some cause for which they were responsible, then he was afraid they had to accept the responsibility.\n\nMr. COUSLAND: Only for the late portion. Legally, they are entitled to throw back the whole of the goods.\n\nMr. PLUMMER said that, with regard to the question of a slight deviation in shade, they could refer the matter to the Chamber of Commerce for arbitration.\n\nMr. VAN ANDEL said that one of the reasons why he mentioned the matter was to see whether the Piece Goods Sub-Committee had considered it.\n\nMr. COUSLAND remarked that in any sale contract with Manchester they had the clause inserted that late delivery of one portion of the contract did not affect the others.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, proceeding, said that the reasons why the proposed contract had been brought forward were familiar to all of them and did not need either advocacy or discussion by him as Chairman. That there was a genuine need for a standard form of contract which should be adopted and adhered to by all importing members of the Chamber was common knowledge, common ground and common agreement. He would like to say most emphatically that it was not the slightest use adopting the contract which had been suggested, either in its present form or amended, if they chose by show of hands that afternoon to amend it, unless those who adopted it prepared rigidly to adhere to it. (Hear, hear). He said that advisedly, because there had been cases reported to the Committee of the past contract, which had been in force for some considerable time, being partially, if not wholly, ignored by some members of the Chamber, who subscribed to it.\n\nIt might be that the reports were false. He formally moved the adoption of the Committee's recommendations as to the local standard form of fancy piece goods.\n\nMr. J. L. PLUMMER seconded.\n\nMr. COUSLAND asked whether it was proposed that the clauses should simply be added to the old contract, or were to be considered to be the entire terms of the contract. If the latter, he was afraid there were one or two legal points which had been left out.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN suggested that points raised by Mr. Cousland and Mr. Van Andel would be covered if clause 3 were altered to read as follows:- \"Any dispute regarding quality, shade, finish, design, packing, delivery, late shipment or non-fulfilment of contract, etc., not settled amicably, shall be referred to arbitrators to be appointed by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce and their finding shall be binding on both parties.\"\n\nMr. COUSLAND suggested the addition of the following clause:- \"Late or non-arrival of one or more lots not to affect other shipments under this contract.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN announced that the suggestion would be accepted, as part of clause 3, or would be drafted in another clause.\n\nThe additions mentioned by the Chairman and Mr. Cousland were agreed to, and the proposed contract, as amended, was unanimously approved by the meeting.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492964, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12]", "page_number": 317, "title": "CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12]", "content_text": "DANISH BANK AFFAIRS,\n\n(Continued from Page 6.)\n\n(Reuter's Service.\n\nTHE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.\n\nBRIBE RESISTED.\n\nFRIDAY,\n\nSEPTEMBER\n\n22; 1922.\n\nDAIRY FARM NEWS.\n\nBy Indian Constable, Copenhagen, September 21.\n\nHow an Indian constable was offered a handsome bribe and rejected it, was told in a case against a Chinese, named Lai Wah, who appeared before Mr. R. E. Lindsell at the Police Court today. The defendant was arrested at the Star Ferry Wharf at Kowloon yesterday, and on the way to the Water Police Station is said to have at first offered a bribe of $15 and then to have added a similar sum, with the promise of a further sum as a condition for his release. The Indian constable, Alla Bux, took both sums but did not refrain from marching the prisoner to the Station, where a charge of being in possession of $25 worth of opium was preferred against him.\n\nP.C. Alla Bux said that he saw the prisoner with the parcel containing the drug tucked under his arm, and his movements suggested to him that here was a case worth examining into. On being interrogated, the prisoner said that he had something good to eat. The \"something good\" was shown to be two tals of opium when the parcel was opened. To avoid discovery, the prisoner is said to have attempted to divert the attention of the constable by pointing to another man who, he said, also possessed \"something good to eat.\"\n\nMr. Lindsell was of the view that the charge of bribery was one to be committed for trial and he ordered an adjournment for the evidence of the Sergeant Interpreter of the Water Police Station who took down the prisoner's statements when charged.\n\nDEATH OF MR. A.A. DOS REMEDIOS.\n\nOne of the oldest and most respected members of the Portuguese community passed away early this morning, in the person of Mr. Adalino A. dos Remedios. The deceased, who was 74 years of age, had been for no fewer than 41 years in the employ of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co., Ltd. and was very highly esteemed and respected by all his fellow employees. Only three days ago he attended the office as usual, but was obviously unwell, suffering from a chill. He went home and later developed influenza which led to pneumonia. He passed peacefully away this morning, at his home in Caine Road.\n\nThroughout his long association with Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co., the deceased had been a valued servant. For many years he was in charge of the Shipping Office, but for the past three years he served in the Indo-China Book Office. Of a quiet and retiring disposition, the late Mr. Remedios, who possessed a particular charm of manner, will be mourned by all with whom he came into contact.\n\nHe leaves a widow and two children to mourn their loss. His son is Mr. J. S. Remedios, of the Post Office, his daughter being Mrs. J. F. Tavares. The funeral takes place to-morrow afternoon, at 6 o'clock.\n\nSHANGHAI'S MIXED COURT.\n\nWith reference to the Mixed Court at Shanghai, the Sinwanpao contains the following report:-\n\nMembers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs met on Tuesday to discuss the many questions connected with the return to China of the Mixed Court. Two suggestions were offered: (1) To reform the Court; (2) To return it to the Chinese for sole administration.

In the return match on Thursday afternoon, the Drummers won by the only goal in the match.\n\nThe King's second team played South China \"B\" team in a friendly match last Saturday afternoon on Causeway Bay ground. The King's led by 1 goal to nil at half-time and an excellent goal from their centre forward put them further ahead soon after the change of ends. South China were seen to better advantage after this and managed to level up matters towards the end of the game. Result 2-2.\n\nIn the Company League, the Machine Gun Platoon sustained their first defeat in the competition when they were defeated by \"B\" Coy, the score being 1-0. They still, however, have a good lead in the League table and should win the championship.\n\nOn Wednesday afternoon, \"1\" Coy defeated the Band and Drums 2-1.\n\nA match between the Regimental Team and the Hongkong Police has been arranged for Saturday afternoon, on Murray Parade Ground. Kick off 5 p.m. The Police are playing some of their new men, and an excellent game is anticipated.\n\nThe League table is given below.\n\n \n P.\n W.\n D.\n L.\n Goals.\n \n \n M.G.

A report from Wuchow states that troops commanded by Lo To and Chang Hoi-yue are moving down to Chunchow and that traffic between Wuchow and other cities in Kwangsi is unsafe.\n\nChan Cheong-po has been ordered by General Chan King-ming to take his force to the West River, as far as Dosing, to maintain order.\n\nThe Provincial Treasurer has decided to form a Finance committee for the improvement of the paper currency. He has invited the leading merchants and gentry to become members, and hopes to have publicly announced the exact number of notes in circulation.\n\nIt is reported that the Gunboat, Control and the Water Police Departments are to be abolished and a new body created to be known as the Sea and River Defence Headquarters, of which Chan Wing-son will be the chief.\n\nRAILWAY OFFICER'S \"FIRST DUTY.\"\n\nTo Attend Court.\n\nIn a case of larceny of two lengths of chain from the Railway Station at Kowloon, it was stated by Inspector C. Aris that Mr. G. Walker, the Traffic Superintendent, who prosecuted in the case, was unable to appear in Court on account of pressure of work. However, if his presence were urgently wanted, he would turn up.\n\nMr. E. W. Hamilton (to Inspector Aris)- Give my compliments to Mr. Walker, and tell him that if he does not appear I will discharge the man. It is his first duty to attend the Court.\n\nThe case was adjourned until to-morrow morning for the attendance of Mr. Walker.\n\nACCIDENT TO CHIEF JUSTICE.\n\nFalls and Breaks Arm in Typhoon.\n\nThe Chief Justice (Sir Wm. Rees-Davies) met with a nasty accident during the typhoon on Wednesday night. He and Mr. H. A. Nesbit went up in the Peak Tram. They were walking together with arms linked, in Cham-bers Road. The wind was very strong. One gust was so sudden that it took the Chief Justice off his feet. He fell on his right side and in so doing broke his right arm.\n\nIt was Sir William's intention to go to Japan to-morrow, but owing to the accident he will probably not be able to make the trip.\n\nEntertain your friends with a VIC TROJA\n\nAsk about our easy payment system.\n\nMOUTRIES:- Exclusive Distributors.\n\nTUESDAY ONLY\n\nCAROLYN THE CORNER\n\nSKIM MILK\n\nWHAT IS IT?\n\nWEDNESDAY & THURSDAY\n\nMARRIED LIFE\n\nMore Big Pictures to follow!\n\nALERT\n\nIt is milk from which most of the fat (cream) has been removed. Is it nourishing? Is it healthful?\n\nIT IS BOTH!\n\nWe feed our calves on Skim Milk. You will never starve drinking Skim Milk. It contains all the nourishing elements - the casein, etc., which ordinary milk contains (less the fats only), and is far more easily digested than whole milk because it is not rich in fats. Skim Milk is a low-priced milk, specially suitable for making Puddings and thickening Soups. It also has many other uses.\n\nTRY IT!\n\nYou will soon be ordering it by the gallon.\n\nA plentiful supply always on hand. Skim Milk is loaded with the now famous VITAMINES. Regular milk drinkers seldom suffer from diseases due to lack of Vitamines.\n\nMilk for the kiddies is a builder of bone and muscle. Be on the safe side and let them drink Skim Milk instead of water.\n\nPRICE 5 CENTS PER BOTTLE.

THE GOVERNOR\n\nThe annual meeting of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce held yesterday afternoon at the City Hall was notable for a magnificent speech by H.E. the Governor.\n\nNow as always, declared His Excellency, British policy in China aims wholly and solely at security, freedom and equal opportunity for British trade. Great Britain has no territorial ambitions whatsoever in China, and it is amazing that the \"Nationalists\" should denounce Great Britain as \"the enemy\" and clasp to their hearts the Russian Bolshevists, who appear to be pursuing the old Czarist policy of Slavonic aggrandisement in the Far East.\n\n\"We are quite determined,\" said His Excellency, \"to have no Bolshevism in this Colony. Nor shall we permit our coastwise shipping to be preyed upon with impunity by organised piracy.\" The so-called economic weapon Sir Cecil Clementi described as the \"Bolshevist Bludgeon,\" or rather the \"Bolshevist Boomerang,\" because it would most certainly curl back and deliver its shrewdest blow at those who endeavoured to wield it.\n\nThe Governor urged the Chambers of Commerce in Hong Kong to see that to combat lying propaganda, the truth is widely told all over China, for the victory of truth is the best means of meeting the Bolshevist menace. After referring to present indications that the Chinese Nationalist Party is at last struggling to rid itself of the taint of Bolshevism, H.E. the Governor expressed the hope that the traditional friendly relations between Hong Kong and neighbouring Provinces in China were about to be renewed. He had complete faith in the future, and believed that, when the present \"spasm of madness\" was spent, Great Britain and Hong Kong would be recognized throughout the Eighteen Provinces as the best friends of the Chinese people.\n\nThe address was received with great enthusiasm.\n\nThe meeting was presided over by the Hon. Mr. D. G. M. Bernard (Chairman of the Chamber), and with him were H.E. the Governor (Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G.), and the following members of the General Committee: The Hon. Mr. A. C. Hynes, Messrs. W. H. Bell, Paul Lauder, F. A. Perry, J. A. Plummer, T. G. Weall, L. J. Davies, Capt. R. H. Campbell, M.C., and Lieut-Commander L. J.

D. S. GOLDIE.\n\nThe Second Engineer, Mr. D. S. Goldie, was seen leaving the ship in company with Mrs. Goldie who had come to meet him, and very kindly gave a few interesting facts to the Daily Press reporter. He was in a hurry to get home, and could not say very much. He was down in the engine-room at the time, and a little after eight bells in the morning watch, when he was due to be relieved he came on deck, only to be confronted by a pirate with a revolver. Resistance was useless. He was taken to the mess where he found his fellow officers in the same predicament. The pirate who covered him with the revolver, spoke Chinese and later made signs which Goldie finally understood meant that he wanted his revolver. The pirate ransacked the cabin and found it. He also helped himself to other articles in the cabin. Later Mr. Goldie was sent down to the engine room with the other engineers, and saw little of what happened after that. However, he remarked that the Second Officer (Mr. J. G. Forster) was rather lucky. He was shot at on several occasions by the pirates, but fortunately all the shots went wide. Mr. Goldie said that he met the pirate chief who spoke excellent English.\n\nHOW THE \"YUENG SHING\"\n\nFOUND OUT.\n\nSecond Officer P. F. Shaw, of the Yueng Shing said that their launch was at anchor in Samun Bay just off Bias Bay, when the signalman at the Signal-Station on shore informed them that the s.s. Tean was heading towards Bias Bay in a suspicious manner. They immediately weighed anchor, cleared for action, and pursued the s.s. Tean to Bias Bay. On drawing close to the Tean they noticed that H.M.S. Somme was there at anchor. The Tean suddenly swung right around, and headed for a little cove between Bluff Point and Lok Sui Point. There she stopped and as the Yueng Shing came up they fired several shots across the bows of the pirated ship. The pirates lowered two life-boats and made for shore. The Yueng Shing then came alongside the Tean and took control of her. Meanwhile two armed parties under Capt. W. H. Poole and Mr. Shaw were landed and pursued the pirates. It was rough at the time and one of the stolen life-boats was smashed while being beached. A suitcase, which contained the loot sank with the boat but was later salvaged. The pirates herded their captives ashore, and tried to escape inland. One of the passengers was unable to keep up with them and he was pushed over a cliff, and fell to the bottom, a distance of 300 feet. He was found later by Mr. Shaw and taken back to the s.s. Tean. Meanwhile the pirates were pursued and shots were exchanged. The pirates saw that they were being overtaken and left their prisoners and fled, dispersing in all directions. Most of the loot was recovered and the passengers and officers were taken back to the ship. The s.s. Yueng Shing then accompanied the s.s. Tean to Hong Kong.\n\nSUPERINTENDENT OF CHINESE CUSTOMS.\n\nAmong the passengers aboard the s.s. Tean, who were taken ashore by the pirates was Mr. Ping Kwan Foo, Superintendent of Chinese Customs at Hoihow. He was accompanied by a friend at the time, who was also taken prisoner. These two gentlemen were rescued by the party under Mr. P. F. Shaw.\n\nThe Loot.\n\nThe pirates were not very satisfied with the loot they made. It is estimated that the robbers' total haul was something about $12,000, of which $4,000 was in cash. The balance was made up of jewellery and clothing. When they were chased by the pursuit party from the Yueng Shing the pirates dropped a suitcase containing $3,000 which has been recovered.\n\nThe European Passengers.\n\nAmong the three European passengers were Mr. and Mrs. Drummond. Mr. Drummond is connected with the A.P.C. at Hoihow and was coming to Hong Kong with his wife. It is understood that Mr. Drummond had been through a piracy ordeal previously. He was asleep last night and as our representative was told that he and his wife also had a very trying time, he was not disturbed.\n\nSeveral Suspects Detained.\n\nIt is understood that several men were detained by the Police on suspicion.\n\nThe s.s. Tean, is one of the China Navigation Steamers, and has for years plied between Haiphong, Hoihow and Hong Kong. At the time she was carrying a cargo of cattle and general merchandise.

Hynes.\n\nWhilst we, as shareholders, must regret that the sterling bonus for the year has been reduced from £2 to £1 per share, we feel bound to quiesce in the decision of the Board when we reflect that, at the low exchange of 1s/7½d to the dollar, the final payment to us of £4 per share costs only about $40,000 less in dollars than the payment of the final of £5 per share cost us for the year 1928 at the then exchange of 2s. 04d. to the dollar. Moreover, those shareholders, who think in dollars, can derive comfort from the fact that for the year 1929 they are receiving, in dividend and bonus combined, $80.37 per share as compared with $79.02 per share for the year 1928.\n\nThree years has been Chief Manager. These three years, as you all know, have been exceptionally difficult ones, and the results at face of these difficulties speak more for Mr. Hynes' zeal and ability in the service of the Bank than anything I could possibly say.\n\nI feel sure that you would wish to join me in offering a warm farewell to Mr. Hynes and in wishing him enjoyment of a well-merited rest after his long and successful career in the Bank.\n\nAnother old colleague of mine, Mr. V. M. Grayburn, has been appointed to be Acting Chief Manager when Mr. Hynes leaves in two or three weeks' time. Here again I feel sure that you will join me in offering him a hearty welcome and every success.\n\nIn regard to the disturbed state of affairs in China, shareholders can only join with our Directors in deploring the continued persistence of civil war in China with its accompaniment of famine and brigandage and of the oppression of the Chinese merchants and masses by irregular taxation and interference with the arteries of trade in so many Provinces of China.\n\nAlso the molestation of shipping by pirates is still unfortunately with us, and we trust that the preventive measures, which have recently been initiated by the Government Kwangtung, will shortly bear fruit.\n\nIn conclusion I would ask you to confirm the Directors' vote of a bonus to the staff of 5 per cent. on their salaries. The reduction from 10 per cent - the figure of several years past - has been made to correspond with the halving of the Shareholders' bonus.\n\nI now beg to propose the adoption of the Report and Statement of Accounts.\n\nAfter the proposal has been seconded and before placing the motion before the Meeting, I shall be pleased to answer to the best of my ability any questions that shareholders may have to ask.\n\nTHE SECONDER'S SPEECH.\n\nThe Bank and its Sterling Position.\n\nSeconding, the Hon. Sir Henry Pollock, K.C., said. Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen. In rising to second the adoption of the Report and the Statement of Accounts, I do not propose to occupy many minutes of your time, especially in view of the very full and interesting speech which has just been made from the chair.\n\nThe first point which strikes one as satisfactory is the fact that, in spite of difficult trade and banking conditions during the past year, our earnings in silver for 1929 exceeded by some seven lakhs of dollars our earnings in silver for the year 1928.\n\nYet another point for congratulation is that our Directors by transferring 5 million dollars from our silver reserve at the very favourable rate of 2/- to the dollar, have raised our sterling reserve to six and a half millions sterling, and when we call to mind that only 10 years ago, at the beginning of 1920, our sterling reserve stood at one and a half million pounds only, it will be readily appreciated how much the Bank has strengthened its sterling position during the last ten years.\n\nWe are also transferring $500,000 to our silver reserve and $750,000 to Bank Premises Account; and it is pleasing to hear from you, sir, that our investments stand at well under market quotations.\n\nExtrality Abolition.\n\nAs regards the abolition of extrality, one can only express the hope that the powers-that-be in Nanking will realize the desirability for proceeding slowly and gradually, so long as Chinese Judges have no security of tenure of office, and so long as such Judges are liable to dictation and interference by political and military officials.\n\nAll shareholders will most cordially indorse the bonus of 5 per cent. to the Bank staff on their salaries, and will very much regret the necessity for reducing the same.\n\nIn conclusion, Mr. Chairman, I desire, on behalf of the shareholders, to echo your words of appreciation of the very valuable services which have been rendered to the Bank by retiring Chief Manager, Mr. Hynes, during the past three extremely difficult years, and we join in wishing him, and Mrs. Hynes also, many years of happiness to come.\n\nWe likewise desire to endorse your words of welcome to the incoming Chief Manager, Mr. Grayburn, and to wish him every success in his arduous task.\n\nThe report and accounts were unanimously adopted.\n\nBusiness Matters. Mr. R. M. Dyer proposed and Mr. D. J. Lewis seconded the appointment of Mr. J. P. Warren, Mr. T. H. R. Shaw, Mr. M. T. Johnson and Mr. T. E. Pearce to the Board of Directors, and the re-election of Mr. W. L. Pattenden, Mr. A. H. Compton and Mr. B. D. F. Beith to the Board. This was carried.\n\nMessrs. C. Bernard Brown, A.C.A., and John Fleming, C.A., were re-elected as auditors, on the motion of Mr. F. C. Hall, seconded by Mr. J. W.

CONCLUDED. DOUGLAS GIFFORD GETS YEAR'S GAOL. INDIAN DOCTOR WHO WAS INTIMIDATED.\n\nAppearing on a remand charge of fighting, Douglas Gifford, a Eurasian, was confronted with new charges when he appeared before Mr. Whyte-Smith at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday. He was alleged to have demanded from an Indian doctor the sum of $180 with menaces and the conversion to his own use of a raincoat, watch and chain.\n\nTwo other persons, Chan Leung and Ho Yee (a married woman), were also charged with demanding money in connection with the affair. Gifford pleaded guilty to the three charges.\n\n\"MENUS\" DISCUSSED IN COURT. FISH FIRST AND CHICKEN AFTERWARDS.\n\nCold storage matters were further discussed at the Supreme Court yesterday when Mr. Rasey was cross-examined by Mr. Potter as to the accommodation of the rooms for the various classes of produce and the time taken to reduce the temperature of the goods to the figure provided in the contract.\n\nAfter a series of questions in the morning, the Court adjourned early to enable the witness to make further calculations and search authorities as to the point at which latent heat is extracted from fish and the freezing point of a chicken. In the afternoon, witness produced Mott's tables and said that latent heat was extracted from fish when the temperature was minus 15 degrees, but at what point it began to be extracted he could not say. Fish would be stored in the cold room at 18 degrees.\n\nMr. Potter: We will have fish first and chicken afterwards. Now what about our chicken? At what point is latent heat extracted from poultry?-Between zero and 10 degrees.\n\nEnters the Girl. Outlining the case for the prosecution, Detective-Sergeant Fitches said that the Indian doctor arrived in the Colony from Rangoon early this year, and took up his abode at 11, Wong Chuk Street. It was there that Gifford came to the doctor's residence on several occasions. On one of his visits, he found a young girl and her aunt in the house. The girl was taken into the house by the amah, who told the doctor that she would be a useful companion during his stay in Hong Kong. The complainant agreed to become engaged to the girl, and the amah bought a ring for $8, in accordance with Chinese custom.\n\nThe girl visited the complainant several times, and on each occasion, Gifford acted as interpreter. The doctor, however, became suspicious and decided to discontinue being \"engaged.\" Gifford, however, remonstrated and explained that the complainant had been guilty of a serious misdeed. The complainant was required to pay $400 as damages, but he agreed to pay only $200. The money was paid, and Gifford brought the girl back to her home in Apliu Street, where he handed over the $200 to the girl's aunt. He received $100 in connection with the part played by him. The aunt had since died.\n\nAlleged Breach of Promise.\n\nSubsequently, Chan Leung and Ho Yee, the second and third defendants, together with another man, visited the complainant in his house. The second defendant claimed to be the girl's uncle and the third defendant styled herself as the elder sister of the girl. Both these statements were untrue. Gifford, who was also present, then told the doctor that another $200 was demanded for his alleged breach of promise. The complainant finally agreed to pay this amount also in monthly instalments of $50.\n\nAt what point does latent heat commence to be extracted?-I cannot say.\n\nHave you, as a matter of interest, tried to freeze fish?-As a matter of money, which is more interesting.\n\nCome back to chicken, the freezing point is anything between zero and 10 degrees?-Yes.\n\nWitness had said that he could store 600 lbs. of chicken in the poultry room, and he disagreed with Mr. Potter that 2,400 lbs. could be stored.\n\nMilk and Eggs.\n\nMr. Potter: Will you give us the storage weight for eggs?-21,000 eggs, and temperature reduction from 90 to 20 degrees.\n\nWhat about latent heat-There is none.\n\nWhat is the freezing point of eggs?-Zero to 10 degrees.\n\nIn the room, there could be 2,880 bottles of milk. There would be no question of latent heat because milk does not freeze at 20 degrees.\n\nWhat is the freezing point?-I don't know.\n\nMr. Rasey: The time, according to Hacker's figures, to bring the milk down to 20 degrees is 14 days?-Yes.\n\nWill you agree that it is an unreasonable time?-Yes.\n\nMAGISTRATE COMMITS \"WANTED\" MAN.\n\nEVIDENCE RAISES A DOUBT.\n\nAt Central Magistracy yesterday, the case in which the Canton authorities are seeking the custody of a Chinese named Tang Yun, for alleged murder which is said to have taken place on April 22 last, in the village of Yuet Tong, Tung Koon district, was concluded.\n\nMr. R. E. Lindseil, in committing the defendant to prison pending the pleasure of His Excellency the Governor, told Mr. F. C. E. Rendall, solicitor for the defence, that the evidence in the case was such as to have raised some doubt in his Worship's mind, but the extent of it was not sufficient to warrant the defendant's discharge. He added, however, that in his statutory report to His Excellency the Governor, he would express the doubts which he had in his mind.\n\nOBITUARY.\n\nMR. GEORGE SHAW PASSES AWAY.\n\nWe regret to record the death of Mr. George Shaw, which occurred at the Government Civil Hospital at 6.15 a.m. yesterday.\n\nMr. Shaw, who was only 35 years of age, had been in indifferent health for the past two years, having been an inmate of the Government Civil Hospital since September, 1927. He was not, however, a bed patient, but he required constant treatment and was very popular with the medical officers and nursing staff, being always ready to lend a hand in an emergency.\n\nThe crisis in his long illness came about a week ago, when he was forced to take to bed permanently, and though he made several rallies followed by heavier relapses during the crisis, these were always the worst of these happened on Thursday night, and early yesterday morning the patient passed away.\n\nThe late Mr. Shaw was a native of Lancashire, and soon after the outbreak of the War, he joined up when he was only 19 years of age. He served with the 3rd Battalion, East Surrey Regiment, and in 1918 he was invalided home with malignant malaria, fever and general unfitness for further active service. He was also badly gassed, and was a first-class shot and first-class signaller. He held the General Service and Victory Medals and was demobilised in 1919, when he returned to China to take up an appointment with the Customs. In 1923, he resigned from this post and joined Messrs. Cary & Co., of Canton, and it was in 1927 that he was forced to leave this post on account of bad health and came to Hong Kong for treatment in the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nProceeding, Det.-Sergt. Fitches said that Gifford on several occasions borrowed the doctor's raincoat and his watch and chain. These articles were not returned, as the defendant had pawned them.\n\nIt was stated that Gifford had threatened to issue a summons against the doctor, if the $200 were not paid. The complainant, ignorant of Chinese custom, had thought that he had done a terrible thing.\n\nA Pair of Shoes-And a Fight.\n\nA summons was eventually taken out against the defendant, but it could not be served, as Gifford could not be found. On the evening of June 17, Gifford was caught fighting with a teacher. The quarrel arose on account of a pair of shoes having been borrowed from the teacher. Gifford, on being asked for the return of the shoes, struck the teacher.\n\nGifford was arrested and taken to the police station, where he made a clean breast of the whole matter.\n\nEvidence was then given by the complainant, after which the Magistrate found the three defendants guilty of conspiracy to defraud. His Worship passed sentences of one year's hard labour on Gifford, and $50, or one month's hard labour, on the other two defendants.\n\nWhat temperature do you suggest we should put it in at?-The milk would come from a dairy and be in cold storage. The only dairy I know of in Hong Kong is the Dairy Farm.\n\nThen we have to confine our activities to the Dairy Farm?-No.\n\nThe Funeral.\n\nThe funeral arrangements were undertaken by the local branch of the British Legion and the E.A.S.M.A., and the sad function took place yesterday afternoon. A number of friends, who had gathered at the Monument, followed the hearse to the Protestant Cemetery, Happy Valley, where Mr. Shaw was buried. Among others who stood at the graveside were Mr. F. W. James (President of the British Legion), Captain Laurenson (President of the Ex-Active Service Men's Association), Mr. F. P. Anslow, Mr. J. Murray, and Mr. T. Williams. The burial service was conducted by Rev. H. V. Koop.\n\nFruit and Vegetables.\n\nGiving his figures for fruit, witness said that 60 cases could be put in the fruit room. It would take 13 days to reduce the temperature of the goods from 90 to 34 degrees.\n\nMr. Potter: It is a mere farce about requiring 13 days to reduce the temperature of fruit from 90 to 34 degrees. I say you can do it in 48 hours.\n\nMr. Rasey: No, Sir.\n\nTaking the figures for the vegetable room, Mr. Potter humorously remarked that if they could finish off the vegetables, which appropriately came last, then there would be little left for Monday.\n\nAfter further questions, the cross-examination was adjourned until Monday morning.\n\nA blind man was seen shaving himself with a razor. He wielded the instrument with such skill that those watching him marvelled at it and remarked that the blind man was not one whit less expert in the use of the instrument than a barber.\n\nHaving finished his operations, the man turned to the crowd and said: \"Don't have the mistaken idea that we blind men cannot perform such delicate work as shaving. In all my life, I have never once patronized a barber! I even used to shave my children when my wife was too busy!\"\n\nWreaths were sent by the following:-Sophie and Aggie, Ivy Soong, the Easma Club, Capt. T. T. Laurenson, British Legion, Sisters and Nurses of the Government Civil Hospital, members of the Upper Levels Police Station (Sergeants' Mess), the Police Ward, G.C.H.

The drafting of the Constitution of the Society, which is to be put before this meeting, was very largely the work of Dr. Tso, and with him was associated in this task Mr. T. M. Hazlerigg, who was a secretary of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in England, and whose knowledge of the working of the home Society has been and will, I am sure, continue to be a great help to the Hong Kong Society.\n\nThis Society enters on its career with the best wishes, not only of the Hong Kong Government and the Hong Kong Legislative Council, but with the support of all citizens of this Colony, no matter to what community they belong. It has many difficulties before it; but I have no doubt at all that these difficulties will be overcome, and I am very confident that the work of this Society will be more helpful in protecting mui tsai and in watching over the welfare of children in this Colony than will be the methods of official registration at present relied upon.\n\nI wish the Society all possible success, and I shall watch its progress with the keenest interest, wherever I may be.\n\nI now call upon the Hon.

Hallifax seconded, that the Constitution of the Society as printed be adopted.\n\nThe First Patrons.\n\nThe Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow then proposed that the first patrons of the Society should be His Excellency and Lady Clementi.\n\nSir Cecil Clementi said in reply: I thank you sincerely for having elected my wife and myself to be the first patrons of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children.\n\nI now propose that the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow, senior Chinese member of the Legislative Council, should be elected to be the first President of this Society.

The drafting of the Constitution of the Society, which is to be put before this meeting, was very largely the work of Dr. Tso, and with him was associated in this task Mr. T. M. Hazlerigg, who was a secretary of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in England, and whose knowledge of the working of the home Society has been and will, I am sure, continue to be a great help to the Hong Kong Society.\n\nThis Society enters on its career with the best wishes, not only of the Hong Kong Government and the Hong Kong Legislative Council, but with the support of all citizens of this Colony, no matter to what community they belong. It has many difficulties before it; but I have no doubt at all that these difficulties will be overcome, and I am very confident that the work of this Society will be more helpful in protecting mui tsai and in watching over the welfare of children in this Colony than will be the methods of official registration at present relied upon.\n\nI wish the Society all possible success, and I shall watch its progress with the keenest interest, wherever I may be.\n\nI now call upon the Hon.

I now propose that the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow, senior Chinese member of the Legislative Council, should be elected to be the first President of this Society, deeply grateful to my friend, Sir Shou-son, for consenting to be nominated to this post. In view of his venerable age, and of the multifarious and heavy demands upon his time made by the civic duties which he has already undertaken, I feel that it is an act of the highest public spirit on his part to allow his name to be put forward for election to this office.\n\nSir Henry Pollock seconded, and the proposal was carried with applause.\n\nElection of Officers.\n\nThe following were elected Vice-Presidents:-The Hon.

We regard this as a development which is very urgently needed. In the interval which is bound to elapse before the Technical School can start work, we would urge that a sum of at least $4,000 be placed annually at the disposal of the Director of Education to enable the Technical Institute to organize and maintain evening classes for the apprentices at or near the Kowloon and Taikoo Docks.\n\n## 4\n## 117\nWe regret that two of our members, Professor C.

Surely the place to learn workshop practice is in the works where it can be assimilated more rapidly and effectively than in a University course of lectures? \n\nI submit therefore, with the utmost respect, that our degree course is not really the concern of the engineers of the colony. It is a matter for the University alone and must stand substantially as at present constituted. \n\nWe have already examined in great detail the case of the trade apprentice at present employed by the local engineering works and I think it has been demonstrated beyond dispute that his standard of education on entering his indentures is so low that it is impossible to impart engineering instruction to him during the term of his apprenticeship. \n\nThe Senate of the University grudgingly conceded a modified matriculation standard which it was hoped that this apprentice might reach but at present there seems no prospect that this scheme will ever mature and the cost of the apprentice course at the University remains to be provided. \n\nThe gap between the present trade apprentice and the University would appear to be too great to bridge and unless we are to abandon the problem altogether some intermediate solution must be found. I hope that the following suggestion which is an entirely new contribution may serve as a basis for discussion and result in a solution of this extremely difficult problem. \n\nThe problem has of course been solved elsewhere by technical institutes but there is no such institution in Hong Kong and the expenditure involved in its provision could not be contemplated at the present juncture. Nor would it be possible to forecast with any accuracy the support which such an institution would receive if provided. My suggestion therefore is necessarily limited to the problem of using existing means to the best advantage and it postulates the existence in Hong Kong of a class who could reach say the junior standard before starting an apprenticeship course in the local works. \n\nIf it can be assumed that such a class exists from whom apprentices satisfactory to local works can be selected I see no insuperable difficulty in their training. The University is closed for four months in the summer and has all the facilities in the way of classrooms, drafting rooms, laboratories etc., necessary for training to any theoretical standard required and these could be used without in any way interfering with the University work proper. \n\nI suggest therefore as a basis for discussion that we try to find candidates of this kind and offer them an apprentice course consisting of eight months of the year in local works and four months at the University. If this is acceptable to Mr. Shaw and other managers of local engineering concerns a syllabus for the theoretical instruction can be evolved by the Education Department, the engineers of the works, and the University working together and the scheme could be working by the end of the year. \n\nThe University could not undertake to provide the teaching staff but I suggest that Prof. Forster be consulted as to how far his final year students could help in this work and it is impossible to determine the staff that would be required until the numbers were known and the syllabus approximately decided. \n\nI should be only too willing to co-operate to the fullest extent in the working out of this scheme if it is acceptable to the works and the Education Department. \n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, \n\nYour obedient servant, \n\n(sgd.)

Alexander Shaw informing him that Mr. C.G.S. Mackie, the principal partner in Hong Kong of Messrs. Mackinnon, Mackenzie and Company who was also a member of the Advisory Committee on harbour developments to the Government of Hong Kong, was in this country and would be prepared to place his views before the Committee. It was agreed that Mr. Mackie should be invited to give evidence before the Committee at their next meeting.\n\nThe evidence of Mr. Adam Anderson, the engineer in charge of port development in Hong Kong, was then taken.\n\nAt the conclusion of Mr. Anderson's evidence Sir Leopold Savile intimated that the Admiralty had under consideration certain dredging to the north of the area covered by the scheme now before the Committee, and might consequently like to participate in the scheme, if adopted, and to contribute towards the cost. Sir Leopold promised to furnish the Committee with particulars of the area which they desired should be dredged for Admiralty purposes.\n\n-5-", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-540-7 Dredging of Hong Kong Harbour 26-4-1932 - 1-10-1932.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 556130, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-564-4 Cholera epidemic 23-8-1937 - 9-4-1938", "page_number": 42, "title": "CO129-564-4 Cholera epidemic 23-8-1937 - 9-4-1938", "content_text": "4\n\nUNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG\n\nFACULTY OF MEDICINE\n\nThe Hon. D.M.S.\n\nSir,\n\n42\n\n7th January, 1938.\n\nYou have asked me to give you a short report on the work done by members of the Department of Physiology and students of the Medical Faculty during the recent cholera epidemic.\n\nTwo students, Fung Ching Wen and Varga, volunteered to help with the work in the G.C.H., and they continued right throughout the epidemic. For a full report of their work, I must refer you to Dr. Shaw.\n\nThe first contact I had with the work was about the middle of August, when Dr. Shaw asked if we could help in certain difficulties being experienced in taking the specific gravity of the blood. This we were able to do, and it was then that Dr. Shaw asked if I would be interested in the cases of oedema which were appearing amongst the convalescent patients.\n\nThis oedema question we soon found to be very complicated, and in order to get at the real cause, we had to initiate and complete an investigation into the urine and blood chemistry of a large number of patients. Providing the apparatus is to hand, the most important things in such a project are (a) a free hand in the hospital and (b) a well-organised team of willing laboratory workers. The former was readily given, and I cannot thank the doctors and the sisters too much for their help, for when they had their hands so full with urgent work, it must have been irksome to have outsiders trying all sorts of new stunts and blocking up the steady, necessary outflow of patients. The organised team of laboratory workers I was also fortunate enough to have. Drs. Ling and Cheng, in order to carry out this heavy programme, in addition to keeping pace with the blood and urine samples, had to devise methods of analysis so that all our investigations could be made on one small sample of blood; two of their methods, namely blood urea and non-protein-nitrogen, using 0.6 ccs of blood, were especially creditable, and their new methods are being published quite soon. Their work was all done in the Physiology laboratory and is, in fact, still being carried on; there was so much coming in from the hospital that they had to carry the tests to a point where they could be left without deterioration, and they are now being completed. The work of Dr. Lim and myself was done in the wards and in the laboratory.\n\nDr. Lim had just been up to the Henry Lester Institute in Shanghai learning the technique for estimating pyruvic acid in blood; he undertook this aspect of the work and found in most of the convalescent cases high pyruvic acid values indicating a vitamin B1 deficiency. A number of the oedema cases showed the same deficiency clinically. I am not in a position yet to form an opinion as to the cause of this; it may be that the tremendous dehydration plus transfusion treatment depletes the body of all its B1; it may be that these processes are at work in individuals who, by the nature of their meagre diet, were already lacking in B1 before the onset of the cholera; I feel both these play a part; but what is definitely certain in my mind is that the diet in these cases, if not in all hospital cases in Hong Kong, should have its B1 content raised.\n\nIt often happens in investigations of this kind, one is side-tracked by cases of a different and more urgent nature.

In the course of a raid by Japanese naval aircraft on the 4th May, damage was caused to His Majesty's Consulate at Chungking. In a note on the following day, the Japanese Government informed His Majesty's Ambassador that this damage might have taken place owing to the proximity of Chinese anti-aircraft positions to the consular district. Similar statements were made to the French and United States Embassies. Sir Robert Craigie replied that this excuse was entirely unacceptable and pointed out the gravity of the Japanese action. On the 8th May, he again raised the matter in conversation with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, protesting against the gross carelessness of the aircraft concerned regarding their responsibility for respecting British lives and property, and also alluding to the general feelings of intense resentment which must be aroused by such indiscriminate bombing of the civilian population.\n\n## Alleged Terrorist Activities in Tientsin\n\n164. On the 23rd April, the authorities in the British Concession at Tientsin arrested four men suspected of complicity in an attempt made on the life of a Chinese Federal Reserve Bank official in the Concession on the 9th April. When His Majesty's Consul, who was not satisfied of the guilt of the men in question, refused to hand them over to the Japanese military authorities, the latter issued a communiqué on the 6th May characterising the harbouring of terrorists in foreign concessions as \"an indirect act of hostility against the Japanese army.\" After subsequent discussions, the men were handed over to the Japanese for cross-examination on the understanding that they would not be tortured; they were subsequently returned to the Concession without a decision having been reached, and negotiations were still proceeding on the subject in an atmosphere of some tension at the end of the month.\n\n## Policy of His Majesty's Government\n\n165. In answer to a question in the House of Commons on the 26th May enquiring whether His Majesty's Government were contemplating the adoption of a system of consular certificates for the importation of Japanese products, Mr. R. A. Butler stated that the British Government were closely watching the treatment accorded to British trading interests in the territories under Japanese control in order to be able to take appropriate steps to protect those interests at any time.\n\n## United States of America\n\n166. On the 10th May, the United States Ambassador made strong oral representations to the Minister for Foreign Affairs regarding the bombing of Chungking and requested that effective steps might be taken to terminate the indiscriminate bombing operations now being carried on in China.\n\n167. On the 19th May, the Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs stated confidentially to the United States Ambassador, who had called to take leave of him before proceeding to the United States for several months, that although serious consideration was being given to the possibility of strengthening the Anti-Comintern Pact, Japan should not, therefore, be regarded as having joined the camp of the totalitarian nations in opposition to the democracies. Mr. Arita added that, as regards American rights in China, the Japanese Government had no intention of excluding foreign trade from that country.\n\n## Anti-Comintern Pact\n\n168. Ministerial meetings continued throughout the month (see political diary for April, paragraph 129), and it seems probable that these deliberations were protracted as a result of President Roosevelt's message to Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini, which was widely interpreted in Japan as committing the United States to the support of the democracies. It appears that consideration was also given to the relationship between the proposed strengthening of the Anti-Comintern Pact and the Anglo-Soviet negotiations for the conclusion of an alliance. In this connection, the French Ambassador informed the Japanese Government on the 15th May that there had been no question of extending to the Far East the defensive arrangements now under discussion with the Soviet Government; if, however, Japan should enter into an alliance with the anti-Comintern Powers, the French Government would then have to reconsider their political situation in the Far East.\n\n169. It appeared on the 19th May, when, after a Cabinet meeting, the Emperor received first the Prime Minister and then the Minister of War, as if a decision had now been reached on a formula for the strengthening of the pact. The nature of this decision had, however, not been revealed by the end of the month.\n\n170. On the 22nd May, the Prime Minister, Baron Hiranuma, and the Foreign Office spokesman, Mr. Kawai, issued cordial statements congratulating Germany and Italy on the conclusion of their alliance.\n\n## Germany\n\n171. On the 12th May, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs denied press reports of an official Japanese mediation in the dispute between Germany and Poland. It was, however, subsequently understood that the Japanese Embassies in Berlin and Warsaw had been actively using their good offices with a view to ending the dispute.\n\n## France\n\n172. The French Ambassador on the 9th May supported the representations already made by Sir Robert Craigie regarding the air attack on Chungking. M. Arsène-Henry made renewed representations on the same subject on the 18th May.\n\n## China; Japanese Policy\n\n173. On the 1st May, the spokesman of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, in a truculent statement, observed that Great Britain and the United States, which had \"reduced the Far East to a semi-colonial status,\" must enforce the open-door principle all over the world before they could demand its application in the Far East. \"What Japan desired most was Asia for the Asiatics.\" On the following day, His Majesty's Ambassador took up Mr. Kawai's statement with the Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs, who informed Sir Robert Craigie on the 3rd May that the statement had been made in the course of an \"informal speech.\"\n\n174. In a further informal statement issued on the 24th May, Mr. Kawai stated that the foreign settlements in China should be regarded as naturally under Chinese sovereignty, and that in parts of China occupied by Japan, this sovereignty naturally came under Japanese control. Japan might properly eradicate, even by military force, anti-Japanese activities in the occupied areas, or (according to one account of Mr. Kawai's statement) in the foreign concessions. Another version reports the spokesman as having said that the object of Japanese action in China was to place Chinese sovereignty under Japanese control.\n\n175. Mr. Chuko Ikezaki, a former parliamentary councillor of the Education Department, in a signed article published in the Yomiuri in the middle of May, urged that Japan should resort to any military tactics, however drastic, in order to crush General Chiang Kai-shek's resistance in the shortest time possible. The writer quoted Mr. Bernard Shaw's statement that the only way to humanise as far as possible war, which is essentially inhuman, is for the belligerents to adopt such severe military tactics as to terminate it as quickly as possible, and from this point of view, he advocated the free use of poison gases and bacteria in defiance of the dictates of international law. General Chiang Kai-shek, who, despite his lack of confidence in the final victory, was simply protracting the hostilities in the vain hope that something fortuitous might crop up to turn the scales in his favour, was clearly an enemy of humanity. Very harsh measures ought to be taken in dealing with such an enemy. It was high time that Japan took a leaf out of Bismarck's book and, casting off all her diffidence and reserve, attacked General Chiang's forces without compunction so as to convince him of the utter futility of resistance. The Powers who had been aiding China since the outbreak of the hostilities would no doubt protest against drastic tactics on the part of the Japanese, but their protests might be completely ignored. The recent bombings of Chungking had been very effective. Japan should carry... \n\nPage 95\nPage 96\nPage 3\nPage 66\nPage [658 u-1] \nB 2", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575477, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "page_number": 119, "title": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "content_text": "118 \n\n## Paragraph 0\nThis Paragraph deals with the Colonial Secretariat and reads \"**Gimson.

Also for outside news earlier on, before the Japanese closed down on him visiting the Camp. Also for the work he and certain doctors and health officers have been doing to clean up Hongkong - The men in North Point Camp have to thank friend Dr. George Ingram Shaw for the work he did cleaning up the fly menace in that area - Selwyn Clark has worked magnificently - I wish I could say the same for all Heads of Departments.

Lynne Jones and four or five BW men are also at liberty. I don't know why or how Arthur Lay is with Lynne Jones**\".\n\n## Paragraph 13 - Conditions of Europeans since fall of Hongkong\nI will give you Thompson's notes here. I have written quite a lot but I, after being turned out of the building in which I was by the Japanese, went off up the Peak as I did not like the idea of going into a Chinese Hotel, particularly as they told me I was to go in with forty other women and I understood the Japanese Army was in the next building but one. At this time, it was not compulsory to go into the Chinese Hotels; it was just a case of finding somewhere to go when you found yourself sitting with your baggage in the street.\n\nThompson's notes, which you will recall are addressed in letter form to me, read \"**For the first week, nothing much happened; we more or less stayed where we were. The Police Force, as you will recollect, was in the Gloucester Hotel - then orders came to report at Murray Parade Ground with 'What you can carry'. We stayed put, but the British etc. who went were marched off in droves to Chinese Hotels along Connaught Road. Conditions in these Hotels were disgraceful. 5, 6 and 7 people to a small cubicle, men, women and children all mixed up; no exercise permitted; food revoltingly cooked and very short. People slept where they could, and got in extra food from outside according as they could afford it. They were without bedding and most without beds; no effort was made to supply the common decencies of life. About 3/1/42, the Police Force was marched off - 123 of us to the Luk Hoi Tung Hotel, the rest elsewhere. We had the foresight to take as much as we could with us in the way of food, clothing and bedding, with coolie assistance at prohibitive rates. There we were incarcerated for three weeks**\".", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575895, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-590-25 Accounts of events leading up to surrender and subsequent treatment of prisoners- etc 23-4-1942 - 28-9-1943", "page_number": 48, "title": "CO129-590-25 Accounts of events leading up to surrender and subsequent treatment of prisoners- etc 23-4-1942 - 28-9-1943", "content_text": "48\n\nReport by Samuel K. Szete, Acting Corps Superintendent, The St. John Ambulance Brigade, Hong Kong, during the Japanese Invasion.\n\n7th December - 26th December, 1941.\n\nI. The first Air-Raid began at 8 a.m. on the morning of December 8th. All members reported to their nearest posts and I had a hard time in the allocation of personnel. My first few days were spent without any meals, a cup of coffee now and again with toast taken in order to keep going, and old members reporting with their Certificates and wanting to do their bit. The Acting Commissioner urged me to accept all and sundry irrespective of the Certificates held, as with 21 posts to fully man there would be room for all in some capacity or other.\n\n2. The first three days were very busy on the Mainland, especially the Heep Yun First Aid Post and Maryknoll Convent First Aid Post, but enough time had been gained to have those posts fully organised and equipped and everyone was ready when called upon to do their bit.\n\n3. On the Island, extremely fine work was performed at the Central Market First Aid Post, in Wanchai, and at the Fung Keung factory. Casualties were very heavy and the boys showed great gallantry, rendering first-aid in spite of continuous bombing and shelling, and thanking the Supervisor and Training Officer (Dr. John Edward Dovey) for his good works.\n\n4. I shall never forget the day when the Fung Keung Factory was shelled and set ablaze, causing about 1,000 wounded and killed on the spot. I was down there attending to cases under the continuous fire from the Japanese. The factory finally exploded and The St. John men were thus kept more busy than ever, and of course, there were not nearly enough of us present to deal with the casualties. My uniform was torn and soaked with blood. Later, Dr. Shaw of the Health Department, who was an eye-witness of the work which we did, evidently sorted me out as a type of the character of the Ambulance men, for I was reported to the Honorable Director of Medical Services with these words: \"His bravery was an example to all and he saved many lives\".\n\n5. On Christmas night, all personnel from all posts were instructed to report at King's College First Aid Post. I was with the Director of Medical Services, Dr. Selwyn-Clarke, and I went with him on a last trip round the Island posts. Then we had dinner at the American Club with Doctor and Mrs. Valentine, and after that, we just had to wait for it.\n\n6. On the afternoon of December 26th, the Japanese arrived.\n\n7. Through unimaginable difficulties and hardships, I managed to get away with my family on May 28th. I had nothing in my pocket, but I escaped with my family of eight, including two kid brothers of school age, and a widow mother of 52.\n\n8. I carried in my pocket this Certificate received from Dr. Selwyn-Clarke:-\n\n\"Mr. S.K. Szeto, Corps Superintendent in the St. John Ambulance Brigade, a non-military organisation designed to assist in the prevention of suffering and in the relief of distress, has been known to me personally for four years.\n\nI became particularly acquainted with him during the very difficult conditions which prevailed in Hong Kong in December, 1941. At this time, I was impressed with his courage, his high sense of public service, his organising ability, his control of men, and his complete dependability. It would be only fair to say that he was responsible in considerable measure for keeping up the morale of the stretcher bearers and nurses giving first aid and succour to the wounded.

I am rather uneasy about the disposition of Governments to press the claims of local men in disregard (I feel sure unintentionally) of the rest of the Service. It is going to be particularly difficult to withhold approval of this recommendation, since Mr. Gould has been acting as Puisne Judge for two years, and moreover, I believe doing so efficiently. But this is one of the most highly Puisne Judgeships in the Colonies, and how can we disregard for instance, Mr. Justice Smith in the Gold Coast, who has been on the Bench 11 years? Mr. Lloyd Blood with 8 years, and Mr. Thacker with 11 years? These three, for various reasons, will probably just miss the chance of being Chief Justice. I have heard that Mr. Lloyd Blood is suffering from ill health and may have to retire, though it is possible that transfer from Africa to a more moderate climate would enable him to continue. Then there is Mr. H.W. Wilson of Trinidad, whom we have promised Sir John Shaw to move if we possibly can; and he might accept Hong Kong. Finally, there is Mr. Lockhart-Smith, who has been in the Colonial Service for 25 years, and is one of the ablest lawyers I know, and the Chief Justice of Southern Rhodesia, whom I have never met, wrote to me in terms of high praise of Mr. Lockhart-Smith, who had been acting as Judge on the Court of Appeal. He is anxious to obtain a Puisne Judgeship. He started his life in Hong Kong, and is, I believe, very keen to return there. Above all, I cannot help feeling if we want efficiency par excellence, he is undoubtedly the man.\n\nIf one of the others is to be chosen, I think we /shall", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-603-8 Legal Department- reorganisation 17-3-1949 - 29-12-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 591203, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-611-5 Development Secretariat- appointment of registrar of Co-operatives 10-3-1947 - 10-3-1948", "page_number": 28, "title": "CO129-611-5 Development Secretariat- appointment of registrar of Co-operatives 10-3-1947 - 10-3-1948", "content_text": "At (1) on 248 file.\n\n27 are quite good, but I think that Mr. Surridge should be asked for his advice.

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

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