Lambton.\n\n\"Snipe,\" at Nanchang, June 29, 1908.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that on arrival of Snipe on the evening of Monday, the 22nd June, necessary arrangements were made for calling on his Excellency the Acting Governor at 10 A.M. on Wednesday, the 24th instant.\n\nApplication was made to the Foreign Office for chairs, and we were informed that they had none, although on previous occasions of ships' officers calling, chairs have always been obtained from this quarter.\n\nPrivate chairs were obtained from the missionaries, and one of these gentlemen, Mr. Thor, C.I.M., acted as interpreter.\n\nOn arrival at Yamên, the gates were unopened for fully three minutes.\n\nThe Governor received us in a verandah at the back of the Yamên, and informed us that, although very pleased to meet English officers, he could not entertain us officially, as Peking has informed him that no foreign gun-boats were allowed in Poyang Lake; and if he received us, other nations would ask why, and would all send gun-boats into the lake against the Treaty; and also, without orders from Peking, he might be spoken to for so doing.\n\nI informed him that he was reading the Treaty in a wrong sense, and that the Commander-in-chief, on information from His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Peking, had given very definite orders that nothing was to stop us from entering, and I was therefore carrying out his orders.\n\nHe asked me to inform my Admiral that it was illegal to enter the lake without permission from Peking, and also to tell all British gun-boats that, although very pleased to see the officers if they came to see him in merchant-steamers, he requested they (the gun-boats) would remain at Hukau.\n\nNo return to my call was made.\n\nLieutenant and Commander Tennyson, His Majesty's ship \"Kinsha,\" endeavoured to call on Acting Governor without success, and he therefore telegraphed to Senior Naval Officer, Shanghae, to that effect.\n\n3\n\nan officer who requested me to stop at Hukau for two or three days, and talked a good deal, making excuse for delaying me. After a quarter of an hour's useless palaver, I decided to bid him good-bye; whereupon, the side being piped, he got into his boat, and the \"Kinsha\" proceeded.\n\nI formed the opinion that, as this conduct of the officials at entrance to Poyang Lake has been of the same vacillating character for the last two years, it was best to meet their weakness with firmness, and my action was entirely successful.\n\nHaving no pilot on board, and the water being a suitable height, I decided only to stay a night at Wuching, and I arrived without any trouble at Nanchang on the 23rd. I was boarded by an official, who stated he came from the Governor, and I sent my card by him to the latter, asking for chairs, and informing him I would pay my respects to him in the morning; and at the same time, I ordered the \"Snipe,\" which was out of sight of me, to shift berth and anchor near me.\n\nOn the morning of the 24th, Lieutenant and Commander Dixon informed me that his letter asking for chairs had been returned to him unopened, and that he had called on the Governor in chairs which were obtained privately by a missionary. He was received privately by the Governor, who informed him he could not possibly receive him officially, as he had no right to come to Nanchang—Nanchang being in inland waters not a Treaty port; the German Minister had promised not to send men-of-war into the lake, except in case of trouble; he would have no objection to British ships coming in case of trouble; and a lot of other remarks calculated to justify his not receiving in a proper manner. To all of which Lieutenant and Commander Dixon very rightly replied that he regretted not being able to agree with the Governor; he had his orders to come into the lake and had come.\n\nThe Governor repeatedly impressed on Lieutenant and Commander Dixon that he was conferring a favour on him by receiving him privately.\n\nThe same morning, my request for chairs having been ignored, I sent the Governor the attached letter, taking care to observe a friendly attitude, and guided in writing by the late Commander-in-chief's Memorandum No. 165 of the 2nd June, 1906. No answer having been received by 9 P.M., I sent to say I could not understand not having any acknowledgment of my letter, and requested chairs to enable me to call on the Governor by 10 A.M. on the 25th; these were more or less promised, but when that hour came, there were no chairs, neither was any answer to my letter forthcoming. I therefore again sent and requested the Taotai to return my card; this resulted in a visit being paid me by the Governor's two interpreters, to whom I gave a strictly formal reception, and sent messages by them conveying to the Governor that I should report on the reception two British gun-boats had received.\n\nMy card not having been returned, I sent my boy with the two interpreters, and had it returned to him.\n\nI reported to you by wire, and sailed yesterday morning, arriving here without accident to-day.\n\nBefore leaving, I called on Mr. Hopkins, a missionary, and brother-in-law to Mr. Kingham, who was murdered two years ago. He gives a very bad account of the present Governor, as also do others I spoke to about him.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) S. H. TENNYSON.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) A. DIXON.\n\nInclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nSir,\n\nInclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nLieutenant and Commander Tennyson to Vice-Admiral Sir H. Lambton.\n\n\"Kinsha,\" at Nanking, June 27, 1908.\n\nIN continuation of my telegram to you for information of the Commander-in-chief, I have the honour to forward the following details.\n\nThe \"Kinsha\" arrived at Kiukiang on the evening of the 20th instant, and on the 21st, I visited the Consul, who I found had taken up his summer residence at Kuling, leaving his constable in charge. I sent for that official, and he told me he would inform the Taotai of Kiukiang that His Majesty's ship \"Kinsha\" would proceed into the lake on the 22nd.\n\nOn the 22nd, I accordingly entered, and was signalled to by the fort and gun-boat to \"stop engines.\" I, in consequence, stopped abreast the gun-boat, and was boarded by\n\nLieutenant and Commander Tennyson to the Governor of Nanchang,\n\nYour Excellency,\n\n\"Kinsha,\" at Nanchang, June 24, 1908.\n\nHaving doubtless received my card by the hands of your messenger, whom I conclude you with kindly attention sent on board my ship yesterday afternoon, I also received my request asking you to send chairs for myself and three of my officers, wherewith I might be enabled to pay your Excellency a visit of friendship.\n\nI now await your Excellency's pleasure, and trust you will give orders for chairs to be sent at once, so that I may become personally acquainted with you, which I much desire, having heard your Excellency's unvarying courtesy and friendliness to Great Britain much praised by the Commanders of British gun-boats and the British Consul at Kiukiang, who lately paid you a visit.\n\nS. H. TENNYSON.\n\n(Signed)\n\n591",

You will see from para 5 of the despatch that some of the coolies have signed contracts before having thought that the Council considers this the best policy.\n\nThis means \"indentured\". Signing of contracts in HK has been going on. And there is also the further difficulty that if the facts are as stated they appear to give the Chinese Govt. the right to be consulted under the 1904 Convention, which right they are claiming strenuously.\n\nI tell you for the third time that signing indentures in HK must stop.\n\n2. I again call attention to the necessity of consolidating laws.\n\nWe have written more than once about this matter, and what has happened to each section of the Ordinance has been repeated many times.\n\nThe Secretary of State has laid it down that \"indentured\" labour shall not be permitted at all. This is therefore to be stopped if, as Sir F. Lugard says...\n\nRI/3.\n\nCopy of a personal letter to Saunders. El 10.",

        "content_text": "It appears that the input text is a jumbled and distorted version of a historical document, likely due to OCR (Optical Character Recognition) errors. As a professional editor specializing in proofreading OCR output of historical records related to Hong Kong, I will follow the provided rules to correct the text.\n\n## Step 1: Initial Assessment\nThe input text contains a mix of distorted characters, incorrect spellings, and what appears to be a jumbled version of a historical document. The first step is to identify any recognizable patterns or text that can be corrected.\n\n## Step 2: Correcting OCR Errors and Formatting\nUpon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the text is heavily distorted. However, certain patterns and words can be identified. The text seems to contain dates, numbers, and what might be official or legal documents. \n\n## Step 3: Applying the Rules\n1. **Format**: The text needs to be transformed into standard Markdown. However, given the output requirement is HTML using `` for paragraphs, we will focus on correcting the text first.\n2. **Reasonable adding of words and re-ordering**: Some words are missing or distorted. We will attempt to reform complete sentences with minimal alteration.\n3. **Correct spelling errors**: This is the primary task. We will correct obvious spelling errors.\n4. **Fix spacing issues**: Extra spaces will be removed, and missing spaces will be added.\n5. **Rejoin broken sentences**: Sentences split across lines or columns will be merged.\n6. **Restore paragraph breaks**: The text will be formatted into proper paragraphs.\n7. **Indicate missing words**: `...` will be used to indicate clearly missing words due to OCR damage.\n8. **Do not rephrase or rewrite**: Only unambiguous errors will be corrected.\n\n## Step 4: Processing the Text\nGiven the complexity and the distorted nature of the input text, a detailed, character-by-character correction is not feasible without a clear understanding of the original document. However, we can attempt to correct obvious errors and format the text.\n\nThe input text is:\n```\nEI \nmindysƆ yɗ mwarb yısise to dawona odsjetiza erit to JnametajƐ \nJnebnetacroqu? yduqod as grodymoH mort amoyd .V .E \noilol to \n.Y 401 \n009.IL \n8. a. 81 \nY9{ } \nexob II \n0083 J 20.e.VI od 20.e.r \n205\" \nкт \n980, I \nOM3 @ 30.3.18 o3 20.0.81 \nDate. \n01. 680 \n8 .I \n* \nBicuo.

As far as I am able to judge the scheme has worked successfully. The Bar and the public appear to be satisfied with it and Sir H. de Sausmarez, who was my guest during the recent session, seemed to be well pleased with the results achieved.\n\n3. I am in correspondence with Sir H. de Sausmarez on the point raised in paragraph 5 of Sir W. Rees-Davies' report; and the question raised in paragraph 6 thereof is also under consideration.\n\n4. It seems to me that the possible difficulty in constituting the Court alluded to in paragraph 7 might be overcome in various ways. I shall take the question into further consideration in case such an eventuality should unfortunately arise. I attach an extract from a minute by Sir W. Rees-Davies, written after his report, in which he refers to another drawback which, however, seems to be of easy removal.\n\n5.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir,\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\nAmay\nGovernor, &c.\n\n## Enclosure\n\nSir,\n\nC O\n20/08\n19 40 13\n\nRIGHT HONOURABLE LEWIS HARCOURT, M.P.,\n&C., &c.\n\nMy Tennyson & M.

Finlay, K.C. | £35. 1. 0 |\n| Privy Council fee for lodging Caveat | £1. 0. 0 |\n| **Total** | **£36. 1. 0** |\n\nSo far as it is possible to estimate, assuming that we paid Junior Counsel a fee of five guineas to attend and press for payment of costs, the extra cost of so doing would amount to £8.\n\nYou will doubtless bear in mind that, as far as I know, we are without any information as to whether the Petitioner has any means available for payment of costs if an Order for costs is made against him.\n\nYours sincerely,\nCharles N.

October 1914.\n\nWe are instructed by Mr. B. Reif of this City to make application for a special license to trade in Hong Kong, and our Client has reported to us the interview which took place at the Colonial Office on Friday last with Mr. Tennyson.\n\nWe have to explain that in 1893 Mr. Frederick Bume and Mr. Berthold Reif established in partnership a business of Exporters under the style of \"Bume & Reif\" in Bradford, Yorkshire, and the firm continued to the outbreak of the War. Their principal markets were the Eastern markets, and at first the business was carried on through Agents, but for more efficient working and developing the markets it was decided to establish Branches of the business in various parts of the world.\n\nSubsequently, about six years later, the firm established Branches in Hamburg, Bombay, Rangoon (with various sub-Branches in several centres in India), Hong Kong and Shanghai, and several Branches in Japan.\n\nThe Branch in Hamburg has been managed by Mr. Bume, who is an Austrian subject. He took up his residence at Hamburg and was there at the outbreak of War and is believed to be still there.\n\nMr. Berthold Reif is of Austrian origin, but is a naturalised British subject, who obtained his certificate of naturalisation on the 10th. of December 1902. He resides in Bradford, and his Wife is an English lady of a well-known family, whose home at the time of her marriage...\n\nThe Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies.",

In this connection, I may add that I see no objection to the proposal put forward in the last paragraph of the Controller's report.

        "content_text": "He suggests that there is a saving of as much as 25% per annum in interest during times of a normal Bank Rate. I do not myself see how he arrives at this figure. He had already stated that the acceptance of the London acceptor could be discounted usually at 1% per annum below Bank Rate. The commission habitually charged by the Acceptance Houses for this business is for three months, or at the rate of 0.5% per quarter, i.e., at the rate of 2% per annum. Assuming with a Bank rate of 5% per annum, the three months acceptance could be discounted at 4% per annum, and adding the commission of 2% per annum, the total cost comes out at 6% per annum.\n\nI believe that the Eastern Banks' charges for advances on these documentary bills varies between 7% per annum and 6 per annum. I have assumed for this calculation that the usual rate at which the London acceptance could be discounted, is 1% below Bank Rate, but I am inclined to think, however, that the Bank of England rate in recent years has approximated much more nearly to the discount rate than this.\n\nPercy Ashley Esq., \nBoard of Trade, \nGwydyr House, \nWhitehall.\n\nBelieve me, \n(SIGNED) \nYours very truly, \nFredk.

Shewan Tomes no doubt claim as part of the general estate which they are liquidating.\n\nThis for your private guidance, in case the matter has to be again referred to.\n\nOn Friday we had a cheerful cable from Cheetham, resigning his appointment, having accepted a position with old friends in Shanghai in the piece goods business. He is thus going back to his old haunts and the trade he knows, and, frankly, I do not blame him as he must have been led a dog's life in Hongkong. It now remains to be seen whether Messrs. Reiss & Co. will turn over a new leaf and help us to persuade the Texas Company that they are fit people to run the business",

Hongkong and London (one letter each) which I was unable to get copied out in time for the mail.\n\nIt is with great reluctance, indeed, that I burden you with all these papers; however, as I wrote, I cannot very well send these papers to the Colonial Office officially. You will perhaps cause them to be filed with the other Texas papers, for the purpose of reference.",

Carroll, over many difficulties is my excuse for addressing you - if you will allow this paradoxical excuse for a further trespass upon your valuable time.\n\nI beg to enclose original of a letter addressed to the Under Secretary of State, of the 22nd instant, and, in regard to it, would like to write you what I cannot very well write officially.\n\nAs you will note, on kindly referring to page 2 of the letter, I have not stated the various reasons which, if known to the Secretary of State, would make him agree, I think, that the Texas Company is entitled to some kind of assurance from that gentleman.\n\nFor this reason and, furthermore, in order to show the Colonial Office why the long-desired settlement has not been effected even today, I beg to enclose, in addition, copies of the following correspondence, viz:",

They however declined it then on account of the yearly tenure condition. They were at one time agents for the Asiatic Petroleum Co., so are accustomed to this kind of business.\n\nMr Dodwell told me this morning that they never like to refuse business, but at present their staffs are everywhere very depleted. They would consider taking the direct agency of the Texas Co., and would pay us a return commission of one quarter of their net profit from it for a period of two years!\n\nPage 690\n\nPage 691",

Dunlop together with the interest of the former Firm in the trade marks, and that the assignment should be expressed to be only of the rights and goodwill within Hongkong and that it should restrain the purchaser from using either the name of Meyerink & Co. or its Chinese equivalent. I shall be glad to learn whether you approve these suggestions. \n\nI would, however, point to the great difficulty of forming an estimate of the consideration to be asked, or of judging of the adequacy of any offer which Messrs. W. & C. Dunlop might make. \n\nThe \n\nThe RIGHT HONOURABLE \n\nWALTER LONG, M.P., \n\netc.",

My personal views however render it impossible for me to accept, and I will endeavour very briefly to explain them.\n\nPage 164\n\nI was extremely worried in 1936 to find how very little real interest the Hong Kong Chinese took in the University. There was no pride in it and I failed utterly to get Ho Tung, Shun Son Chow, Su Tong Sen, Aw Boon Haw, Ho Kam Tong, etc. etc. to lend it any financial or other practical support. They were far more interested in the new University near Canton (Lu Ngan or some such name) and the university founded by Dr. Lim Boon Keng (near Hankow - I think please forgive my \"Singapore memory\"!). The reason patently lay in their preference for a Chinese-inspired Chinese-run institution over one originated by the \"Red-haired\". The gravity of the position centred of course in the facts that Hong Kong is far too small a territory to absorb the output of a University and that China in her modern nationalistic mood gives preference to the alumni of her own universities in making Governmental, professional, technical and business appointments on the mainland.\n\nI have no doubt, moreover, that if (it has long been a pretty big IF) the Hong Kong University is to have an assured future it must look for the major part of its revenues, endowments and patronage to the local Chinese; the Colony could not afford (or, if afford, justify) financing it from taxation as a State institution. Nor would such complete dependence\n\n/on",
