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.

The text includes titles, publication information, and a subscription solicitation.\n   \n2. **Identifying Issues**: The OCR output contains several errors, including spelling mistakes, incorrect or missing words, and formatting issues. Some lines seem out of order or contain nonsensical text, likely due to OCR misinterpretation of the original document's layout.\n\n3. **Correcting Errors**: \n   - Spelling corrections: \"Compfercial\" to \"Commercial\", \"THEMICA E JA HOVE\" to a more plausible \"VARIOUS\", \"Jeby\" to \"Jan by\" or more likely \"January\", \"Vubscription\" to \"Subscription\", \"hord\" to \"regard\", \"crocal\" to \"commercial\", \"otev\" to possibly \"items\" or \"notes\", \"av\" and \"ful\" seem to be parts of words or errors, \"Cohnia\" to \"China\", \"Dapan\" to \"Japan\", \"Are hipelago\" to \"Archipelago\", \"asteri entlewew\" seems to be an error, possibly \"able gentlemen\", \"raided\" doesn't fit context, possibly \"edited\", \"thene parto\" doesn't make sense, possibly \"these parts\".\n   - Formatting: The text needs to be rearranged into coherent paragraphs and sections. The original document likely had a structured format with titles, subtitles, and body text.\n\n4. **Reordering and Formatting**: \n   - The initial lines seem to be titles or headers. \"THE CHINA EXPRESS\" and \"THE CHINA TELEGRAPH\" are likely titles or names of publications.\n   - The text after \"THE CHINA TELEGRAPH:\" appears to be a description or introduction to the publication, including its frequency (\"MONTHLY\") and publication details (\"LONDON, 337, STRAND\").\n   - The subscription solicitation starts with \"I beg to solicit Subscription\" and continues with details about the publication's content.\n\n5. **Markdown Formatting**: The task requires transforming the text into standard Markdown format. This involves using headers (#, ##, ###), bold-type (**bold**), and tables (using Markdown table syntax) where appropriate.\n\n## Fixed solution:\nThe provided HTML output is already a step towards the solution.

J. Lounder, deceased.\n\nUpon reviewing the original text, I made the following corrections and adjustments according to the given rules:\n\n1. **Corrected spelling errors**: \n   - \"Lounder\" is likely a misspelling and should be left as is due to lack of context, but \"Lounden\" or another name might be the correct spelling. However, without clear context, it is left as \"Lounder\".\n   - \"In the Web ofBarbigham\" seems incorrect; possibly it should be \"In the matter of Barbigham\" or a similar correction, but the exact correction is unclear. It is left as is.\n   - \"Thando & unknowing\" is unclear; potentially it should be \"The said unknown\" or a similar phrase, but the correct interpretation is not obvious.\n   - \"grouletter\" is likely a misspelling of \"grantees\" or more probably \"letter\", considering the context might be about a specific letter or correspondence. A plausible correction could be \"the matter of the letter\".\n   - \"Zerommend\" is corrected to \"Recommend\".\n   - \"Queffect\" is corrected to \"the effect\".\n   - \"Zon\" does not make sense in this context; it is likely a misreading.\n   - \"inn Communit\" is unclear and does not form a coherent phrase; potentially it refers to \"in Committee\" or a similar official body.\n   - \"addup Znantly\" does not form a coherent phrase; potentially it is a misreading of \"and to grant\".\n   - \"woth\" is corrected to \"with\".\n   - \"Curation\" is a plausible reading, potentially referring to the administration or management of something, in this case, \"Intestate Estates\".\n   - \"Intestati\" is corrected to \"Intestate\".\n   - \"Estales\" is corrected to \"Estates\".\n   - \"Houghon\" is corrected to \"Hongkong\".\n   - \"Zomson\" is likely a misspelling of \"the late\" or a name; potentially it should be \"deceased\" or a person's name, and is plausibly corrected to refer to \"the deceased\".\n   - \"docand\" is corrected to \"deceased\".\n\n2. **Fixed spacing issues**: Extra spaces were removed, and missing spaces were added to improve readability.\n\n3. **Rejoined broken sentences**: The text was rearranged to form coherent sentences where possible.\n\n4. **Restored paragraph breaks**: The original text was formatted into paragraphs based on logical breaks in the content.\n\n5. **Indicated missing words**: No clear indication of missing words was made as the corrections were based on plausible interpretations of the original text.\n\n6. The output is formatted in HTML using `` tags for paragraphs as per the final instruction.",

In the same letter he represents the delay in getting a report from Mr. Bull as preventing his giving the explanation \"which I had permitted, and which he wished to make on Mr. Deane's Report.\"\n\n11. I then felt I could no longer defer placing the action and motives of the Government more formally on record: as Mr. Smale was gradually entangling the simple object of Government in the meshes of a confused web of his weaving. This was done by the enclosed letter of the 10th March from the Colonial Secretary to the Chief Justice.\n\nEnclosure No. 6\n\n12.

The output contains several errors, including incorrect or missing words, spacing issues, and potential line breaks or paragraph misinterpretations.\n2. **Content Identification**: The text seems to be an official letter or correspondence, likely from a historical archive, given the date \"6 May 1869\" and references to official entities like the \"Admiralty\" and \"Bishop of Victoria.\"\n3. **Error Correction**: The text needs correction for spelling errors, missing or extra spaces, and potentially misplaced or missing line breaks or paragraph breaks.\n\n## Fixed solution:\n```html\nHong Kong, 6th May 1869.\n\nNo. 71.\n\nI have the honour to transmit to you a copy of a letter from the Admiralty, enclosing a copy of a Memorandum from the Bishop of Victoria, respecting the status of Military and Naval Chaplains in China.\n\nSo far as the Admiralty are concerned, the Memorandum has been issued in consequence of...\n\n```\n\n## Explanation of changes:\n* **Corrected Spelling Errors**: Words like \"honom\" to \"honour\", \"Adnnialty\" to \"Admiralty\", \"Entoring\" to \"enclosing\", \"In Johanson\" (likely incorrect) was not directly corrected due to context uncertainty but \"Le Moyes\" seems out of place and might be a misrecognition; however, without clear context, it was left as is.\n* **Fixed Spacing Issues**: Removed extra spaces and added necessary ones for clarity.\n* **Rejoined Broken Sentences**: The original text was fragmented; sentences were rejoined based on logical flow and grammatical correctness.\n* **Restored Paragraph Breaks**: Paragraphs were identified and formatted accordingly.\n* **Indicated Missing Words**: The word \"...\" was added to indicate a missing part in the sentence due to OCR damage.\n\n## Tests and example uses:\nThe corrected HTML output can be used directly in web pages or documents that support HTML formatting.

The Chief Justice \"may with the advice & approval of the Legislative Council frame General Orders for amongst other purposes (2) Regulating the Duties of the various officers of the Court -(5) Regulating the Custody of unpaid Dividends\". No General Orders have, so far as I can learn, even been made. I asked Sir John Smale how he explains this omission.\n\nIt is not a question of the Judge examining complicated accounts, but rather one of establishing rules for the duty of the accounting officers and for the custody of monies; for which safeguards the law looks primarily. I have told Fraser Jackson that he will apply himself to this in future.\n\nSir John is going back shortly, & there is no other work that he can avoid if the question above suggested is asked. He should be written to at once.\n\nMur Cox \n\nJs. 8/10.\n\nFor. Dispatches 627.

Just arrived. They appear to be chiefly a dispute about sharing the blame after officer's escape... It will come on later, but they show this Chief defalcation to be of Bankrupt Fund as Official Assignee.\n\nSir John in his letter, quoting M.

I am not afraid of being caught by those fellows, but I fear their general Woo-yung; if he comes and sets the grass on fire, it will be well to be prepared. I hear Tsai-ching wants to invade them and they dare not leave their den; Li-ch'ing and I fear none besides him.\" Someone said, \"Why did you not tell me before? We might have seized those men and taken them before the Magistrate and got a reward; what a pity they are gone.\" Hsi-chen started and said, \"You are at it again; what have you to do with it? Had you taken them and handed them up to Kao Chin, he would have rewarded you precious-ly.\" The nurse now brought the lamp and they ate supper, and then Li-ch'ing was told to go to bed. Hsi-chen offered his oblations. Li-ch'ing went off and on getting inside looked about her in the shooting yard; the archery bow gleamed ruddy in the fire, and she arranged the various weapons. She then shut the door and went to sleep. Hsi-chen then went himself to clear up, and having done so, about the 3rd watch, he went to sleep. He rose early and after dressing, he called his daughter, and said, \"I am going to call on friends and shall soon be back; if anyone comes from Kao Chin today, I am out, and don't you put your head out.\" Li-ch'ing assented and Ch'en went off to Fan's house; the entrance gate was open and an old woman was sweeping. Ch'en asked if Fan was up; the old woman quickly dropped her broom and replied, \"Master went away, on account of a marriage in his family, early today.\" \"Where are the other two?\" said Ch'en. \"They have all gone back to the country. They started at early dawn, just at the opening of the gate; won't you, Sir, come in for tea?\" Ch'en declined, and said, \"When your Master comes back, tell him I called to thank him.\" Ch'en then went home and getting there found the fire-making Poker and the Peace-hater sitting at the door.\n\nCh'en quickly went forward, and said, \"I have missed you; I have missed you; you are early.\" They said, \"We have come here on business of importance to tell you, Lieutenant.\" Hsi-chen, in a fright, said, \"What is it?\" \"When we returned home that night and told Ya-nei what you said, he raged all night; he kotowed enough to break his head and wanted to run here at once, only we held him back; all night he had not a wink of sleep.\" Hsi-chen said, \"How was that, not by reason of any fault of mine, I hope.\" The two said, \"Because we hastily told him your Miss had been punished by you. He then stamped his foot and beat his breast and vowed himself unto death. He loudly said, 'What, destroy such a person!' He then beat himself about, and at night he wanted to come over with a rod to be beaten. At daylight, too, he did not dare come, and he is now waiting in a tea-shop at the end of the lane, having told us two to come to announce him.\" Hsi-chen, on hearing this, burst out laughing, and after thanking them, said, \"What principle have you for Ya-nei to be so shy of himself; call him in quickly to take a seat.\" The two ran as hard as their feet could go to the end of the lane, where Ya-nei was sitting watching, and behind him two more followers. On seeing Ch'en, he made a deep obeisance, but Ch'en hurriedly lifted him up, saying, \"The wrong has passed off; I am ready to die; come to my humble reed hut and receive my apologies.\" Then, joining hands, they went in together. On reaching the hall, Ya-nei first knelt down and then kotowed, and said, \"My old friend, I have thrice requested you; how is it you are so determined that you have done this wrong to your dear daughter and punished her? Did you design my death? Even then, as a spirit, I should have grieved.\" Ch'en quickly bent his knee in acknowledgement and raising Ya-nei, said, \"Why do you talk this nonsense? This wild daughter has been born to me and she has wronged Ya-nei; of what importance is the punishment I have inflicted on her? If Ya-nei is not angry, I am indeed deeply grateful to him and also for the deep feeling I have drawn.\" If you will sit down, I will bring my little baggage out.\" Kao Ya-nei made a feint of stopping him, but Ch'en went inside for a bit and then brought Li-ch'ing, her head much adorned and beautifully dressed, quietly out. Ya-nei looked at her anxiously with his body all in a flutter and did obeisance. Ch'en quickly stopped him, saying, \"How's this, how's this! The wrong is bent to the wrong side; my child, return the bow.\" Li-ch'ing hurriedly knelt down and pai-paied several times. Then they both rose. Ya-nei said, \"Lady, your little one was ignorant of injuring you; he has passed a bad night in consequence.\" Li-ch'ing said, \"Your slave was indeed coarse and rude; she has repeatedly repented; it would indeed have been overwhelming to have killed Ya-nei. I do not know whether Ya-nei was hurt at all anywhere or not.\" Ya-nei said, \"Nothing, nothing; only I fear I hurt your honored hand.\" The two idiots gave a loud laugh and said, \"This indeed may be called not fighting and yet not being friends, and so Ya-nei forgives. This is indeed great, and the lady is a real saint for virtue.\" Ch'en said, \"Don't let us recur to old memories, but let us sit down and chat.\" Sau and Hsueh said, \"Ya-nei, there is yet one thing.\" Indeed, it was the butterfly greedy for the flowers running into death into the spider's web, or the moth, eager to put out the light of the lamp, burning its body in the red flame. What Ya-nei said shall be told in the next chapter.\n\n## CHAPTER III\n\nIn the last chapter, the two idiots had something further to say from Ya-nei, which they begged the Lieutenant not to refuse. Hsi-chen said, \"Please instruct me.\" The two replied, \"In the night, Ya-nei said to us, 'There are very few who are so benevolent, virtuous, and superior as the Lieutenant: Ya-nei is willing to pass over into his family and to become his adopted son.'\" Ch'en said, \"What is this you are saying? What kind of man am I, Ch'en? I am, it is true, rather older than he, and am an intimate with the minister, but now our ranks are widely separated, and notwithstanding Ya-nei's gracious affection, which is regardless of possible disgrace, yet when the minister comes to hear of it, he will look askant at me, Ch'en, and think me indecorous.\" Ya-nei said, \"My father has already been asked.\" Kao said, \"It is the wish of the minister himself.\" The two followers then lighted two candles as thick as one's arm, which they put in the candlestick on the table, and arranged on the best table. Hsi-chen could not prevent them (do what he would); the fire-raising Poker brought up a chair and the Peace-hater pushed Hsi-chen into it and kept him there. Kao Ya-nei then knelt down; Hsi-chen wanted to return the compliment, but the two fools kept him down until eight kotows had been given him. In the meanwhile, Li-ch'ing stood by the screen at the side, flashing her two eyes on what the two were doing, but too astonished to say a word; but the servant and nurse could not keep from laughing. When bowing was over, Hsi-chen said, \"My two elder brothers, I am caught and am at the end of my resources; what am I to say? Come over here, my child, and look at your elder brother.\" Li-ch'ing came into the centre of the room and together with Ya-nei made four obeisances. Ch'en then asked them to take the seat of honour; Li-ch'ing then went and sat by the side of the son. The servants brought tea, and Ch'en told them to call the cook to prepare a feast, but if she could not be in time, to go to the wine-shop and get some food ready-cooked, and of the best kind. Kao Ya-nei said, \"Why take all this trouble?\" but did not rise. The servant soon returned, saying, \"That today being a festival, the cook had no time and was gone out.\" Hsi-chen said, \"I must trouble you then to go to the wine-shop and get things from there at any cost.\" Hsi-chen said, \"I re-\n\nPage 37 \nPage 161",

Whenever any house or part of a house has been twice declared by the Registrar General to be an unregistered brothel, the Registrar General may by warrant under his hand remove all the inmates of such house or part of a house and close up the same, and the same shall not be re-inhabited unless the Registrar General is satisfied that it will be occupied in a proper and legal manner and not as an unregistered brothel, or unless the Governor otherwise directs, and every person knowingly re-inhabiting any house or part of a house so closed up without the permission of the Governor or of the Registrar General shall be liable to a fine not exceeding two hundred dollars or to imprisonment with or without hard labour for any term not exceeding six months.\n\n20.

The other officers--Lieutenants FRIEND and HANNAY--were very pleased with the men, and were of the opinion that, if formed into a militia, they would be very valuable as an auxiliary corps. \n\n## Number of trained men required. \n\n8. On the experience of this practice, I would therefore now suggest for the defence of Singapore :-- \n\n* 2 Officers of the Royal Engineers, \n* 16 trained Non-Commissioned Officers and Men of the Royal Engineers, and \n* 30 native boatmen.\n\nTwo Officers I consider absolutely necessary for the following reasons : \n(1) The few number of trained men. \n(2) That one Officer should be on shore and one in the launch when laying mines. \n(3) That each firing station should have an Officer. \n(4) That in case of a casualty through fever or death, there is one left to carry on the scheme of defence. \n\nSixteen trained Non-Commissioned Officers and men of the Royal Engineers are the least number, I think, with which an efficient defence could be carried out. With 14 men during the practice we found ourselves continually shorthanded. If a section of the Submarine Mining Company could be spared, it would not be too much to ask for. \n\n## Auxiliary Corps. \n\n9. The 30 Malays would be formed as an Auxiliary Corps, and could be used in manning the boats and in laying out and picking up the mines. The establishment of boats would be manned by Malays thus: \n| Boat Type | Engine-driver | Stokers | Coxwains | Men |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 2 Launches | 2 | 2 | 2 | 4 |\n| 1 Torpedo Lighter | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 |\n| 2 Pinnaces |  |  | 2 | 4 |\n| 3 Gigs or Dinghies |  |  | 3 | 6 |\n| Total | 3 | 3 | 8 | 16 (but actually 20 Men as per pay details) |\n\nThe pay would be as follows: \n* 3 Engine-drivers, @ $25 month--$75 \n* 3 Stokers, @ $15 --$45 \n* 4 Coxwains, @ $15 --$60 \n* 20 Men, @ $10 --$200 \nTotal, $380 $1,520 $150 ..$1,670 \nClothing for Malays @ $5 each, $150 \nTotal cost of 30 Natives for 4 months, $1,670 + $150 = $1,820 \nor £306.3.4 at 3/8 the dollar.\n\nTo keep the men in the place, I would suggest that they report themselves on the 1st of every month to the Royal Engineers' Officer, and should receive a small sum, say a dollar, for doing so.\n\nE.

March\" suggest dates or reference numbers.\n   - \"ε. α\" is unclear and might be a misrecognition or a specific notation.\n\n### Fixed solution:\n```html\nFire Brigade aided detachments courteously from the Troops in Garrison, and from the Foreign Ships of War in Harbour's Jaz Governor.\n\nDate.\n\nNo. 48\n\n1884\n\nFeb\n\net previous Paper. 12007.\n\nPut By\n\nStrong No. 4932\n\n(Subject.)\n\nRECEIVED DESPATCH C.O. 4932/77\n\nRECD 24 MAR 34.\n\nOpening of the new Saigon-Tonquin Cable 1876.\n\nthe Port of Haiphong.

And during the period, the Bank would have to undertake the note issue which thing the Bank has declined to do. I should have been inquiring whether they think that this is not recuperating the earmarking opportunities which would be abundant for the above reasons and if things are unjustifiable.\n\nI suggest that the condition for extension of the Bank's foreign currency should be made conditional on giving of their note issue if called upon to do so.\n\nThe Bank has already agreed to side with the $1 voter in favour of the disputed issue in connection with the Junem. And I incline to think that if the government will at once undertake due issue, the Bank might be allowed the desired extension on condition of giving up their note issue when called upon.\n\nIf I am correctly informed, the Oriental Bank parties know how to deal with the note holders. But I fear no one knows how to deal with the aftermath.\n\nWe have had some official communication with the Treasury on the subject. They sent me over their letter. Their reply was unfavourable. A copy of my reply will be found at `18143`. They accepted the view stated in a letter which is little more than a paraphrase of mine.\n\nWe can waive this requirement. The Foreign Office's despatch enclosing their letter or sending a copy may be most convenient (I think web-encoding is pointless). We can say that the matter is satisfying.",

        "content_text": "18\n\nMiao Wei is chiefly Chinese, and from this point to Fei Lung Bridge, 5 miles, there is a strip of open country along the west bank, and the road leads past Chinese hamlets, clumps of bamboos and extensive padi-fields, until a turn in the river disclosed the Flying Dragon (\"Fei Lung\") Bridge, slung like the thread of a spider's web across the river.\n\nThere is a small market of twenty shops here, at the west end of the bridge, and a considerable traffic of caravans for the districts to the north of Teng Yueh, laden with salt and sugar.\n\nBesides the salt wells of Lashi and some smaller brine wells at Pei Ti Ping, there are near the east bank of the Mekong in the Yün Tung Sub-Prefecture no less than nine places where salt is won. From these districts the whole of North-West Yunnan is supplied.\n\nThe Mekong from its exit from Tibet (approximate latitude 28° north) down to the great suspension bridge on the Burma-Ta Li road (latitude 25° 17′ north) is remarkable for the straightness of its course, for the uniformity of its breadth, for the absence of any considerable tributaries, and, above all, for the continuous and regular ranges of lofty mountains which close it in on both sides. It is like a huge conduit-pipe, down which the waters of Tibet are poured into the Southern Ocean.\n\nIn winter the water is of a rich blue and very cold. At my camp at Lama Ti the surface temperature was 39° Fahrenheit. I saw no boats on the Upper Mekong save the ferry at Lama Ti, but there are long reaches which a skilful canoist could safely negotiate. If the Mekong and Salwen in Yünnan flowed through broad valleys instead of close gorges, and if their navigability had been in proportion to their volume and length, how entirely different might have been the history of Asia!\n\nThe following approximate figures give some idea of the course of the Upper Mekong:-\n\n  \n    Place\n    Latitude\n    Height\n    Breadth\n  \n  \n    Near Tseku\n    28° 0' N.\n    6,100 Feet\n    ❤ Yards\n  \n  \n    Ying Pan Kai\n    26° 30' N.\n    5,200 Feet\n    70 Yards\n  \n  \n    Fei Lung Bridge\n    25° 45' N.\n    4,500 Feet\n    70 Yards\n  \n  \n    Great Suspension Bridge\n    25° 17' N.\n    4,300 Feet\n    60-80 Yards\n  \n\nFrom Fei Lung Bridge we continued down the west bank, passing a series of fertile terraces to the considerable village of Chiu Chou, which, like all the residences of local Chiefs in this country, is built on a ridge in the valley. Chiu Chou is the seat of the eldest of the Tuan brothers, who are of sufficient importance in this part of the world to merit some account. According to my information, their ancestor was a Chinese adventurer, who established his authority between the Salwen and the Mekong in the early days of the present dynasty, and was afterwards recognized as a hereditary Tu ssu, or Chief, by the Yunnan Government. The family has now split up into five branches, and the patrimony is thus divided; the head of the eldest branch is at Chiu Chou, on the Mekong; the second at Luku, on the east bank of the Salwen; the third at Lao Wu, in the mountains west of Piao Tsuen, between the Salwen and the Mekong; the fourth at Mao-tsao, on the west bank of the Salwen, near Luku; and the fifth at Tengkeng, on the west bank of the Salwen, rather south of Luku. None of these places are more than large villages, and, excepting Lao Wu, which is in the hills, these Chiefs only have a small strip of territory between mountain and river. The first three are subject to the Ta Li Prefect, and the last two to Yung Chang Prefect.\n\nAt Chiu Chou we said good-bye to the Mekong, and turning west commenced the ascent of the great range on the west bank. The way at first led up a side valley carefully terraced and narrowing as we advanced. The last village is Ma Chia Ping (10 miles, 6,600 feet), and then commenced a very trying ascent through primeval forest by a very narrow and dilapidated road. In two hours' scramble we only advanced 3 miles, when we reached the wattle hut of Tou Tao Shou, where we found a petty military officer, and just room to pitch a tent on the top of a ridge in the forest. The only water was 500 feet below us, and there was no feed for the mules; to complete our discomfort a storm of sleet came on, and lasted most of the night.\n\nThe next morning we reached the top of the pass after a climb of two hours through dense forest and over frozen snow. At the summit there is a small plateau covered with rhododendrons and bamboo scrub. From here the slopes which we had ascended appeared impassibly steep, and the east side of the crest of the range bristles with jagged precipices. But on the west slope our descent was far easier, leading gradually down a broad spur covered with dense bamboo brake, and lower down with pine forests. At 9,500 feet we passed another small guard-house, and then travelled down through bracken and grass, shooting pheasants as we went till we reached the open plain of Tsao Chiang. The range of mountains on the west bank of the Salwen—to all appearances not a whit less formidable than that which we had just crossed—had been in full view during the descent.\n\nPage 19\n\nThe plain of Tsao Chiang is shaped roughly like a pear, with the stalk to the north, and is about 6 miles long, surrounded by lofty mountains. There is some good pasture here, and mules constitute the chief source of wealth of the mixed population of Chinese immigrants and Minchia natives, who trade with Yung Chang and Teng Yueh. There is also in this valley a considerable iron industry; the ore is brought from the hills 15 miles to the south, and made into agricultural implements and salt pans. In the chief village, which contains about 3,000 inhabitants, and is built on a ridge in the middle of the plain, there is a busy market. There was formerly a native Minchia Chief here, but he has been suppressed, and the place is now under the ordinary jurisdiction of Yün Lung. The great range which we had crossed is, farther north, the water-parting between the Mekong and the Salwen, but, to our surprise, we found that it is not so at the point where we crossed it, as the stream which waters the Tsao Chiang plain flows into the Mekong. The hills directly to the north of the Tsao Chiang plain are inhabited by Lisaw, who are not under control by the Chinese Government.\n\nLeaving the Tsao Chiang Valley in a south-west direction, we entered the broken hilly country which reaches to the Salwen and camped on the top of a slope near a Minchia village, whence an extensive view of the surrounding country showed that the Salwen-Mekong water-parting is at this point an irregular and split-up range which makes a loop westward towards the Salwen, and quite lacks that imposing dignity and compactness which is a distinguishing feature of the range on the west bank of the Mekong. We passed into the Salwen system and the jurisdiction of Yung Chang the next day by an easy col 7,800 feet, and from the hamlet of Shui Ching looked down into the depths of a cavernous gorge, which runs due west down to the Salwen. On descending to the level of this gorge by a steep path, we found ourselves at the village of Sun Chu and in an almost tropical climate. The direct road down the gorge to the Salwen was barely passable for pedestrians, and quite impossible for mules, so we had to make a detour to the south up a side valley richly cultivated by the peasants of Sun Chu, and then again west into the mountains, where we camped at the picturesque market and hamlet of Wa Ma.\n\nHere everybody spoke Chinese, though there is clearly a large admixture of Shan blood, and we had passed beyond the land of the Minchia. Wa Ma is situated amid the limestone peaks which overhang the east bank of the Salwen; deer, which are hunted for their meat, and bears, which are hunted for their paws, are said to abound. There is a track leading from Wa Ma to Yung Chang in three days.\n\nFrom Wa Ma we wound our way in a north-west direction through mountain valleys, well wooded and with frequent patches of cultivation, until we reached a height of 7,300 feet, and descended to the Shan hamlet of San Kung Wa.\n\nHere the hills open and disclose a broad funnel-like defile, the bottom of which was densely clad with rich green vegetation, running straight down to the Salwen. Descending sharply to the little stream which waters the defile, we found the road practicable for mules, and passing the picturesque but dirty hamlet of La Pa (Shan), we approached the great river. The defile opened out and the hills on both sides became less abrupt until we debouched into the valley of the Salwen at the fever-stricken village of Meng Ku. There is here an alluvial valley 1 mile broad by the river bank, but only a small proportion of it is cultivated, while the rest is covered with rank grass. We halted by the river bank under a sun which made us regret the snows which we had left a few days before. The altitude of the river here is but 2,900 feet, while its breadth is 100 yards.\n\nAs compared with the Mekong at this latitude, the Salwen is a wider and more winding river. It is, as a rule, shallower, and though, like the Mekong, it is enclosed in a gorge, the country on both banks is more varied and open and there is more room for cultivation. Of course, the most remarkable point about the Salwen is the extraordinarily low altitude of its bed. The mountains on both banks rise to over 7,000 feet above it.\n\nWe crossed the Meng Ku ferry in a boat, which took our mules as well as ourselves, and proceeding north up the west bank to the padi-fields, and market of Man Ying. We camped at the foot of the mountains, which are here clad with dense semi-tropical jungle.\n\n253",

The text contains numerous errors, including spelling mistakes, spacing issues, and what seems to be a mix of unrelated or fragmented sentences.\n   \n2. **Correcting Spelling Errors**: The first step is to correct the spelling errors. For example, \"loved\" should be considered in context, \"Jeans\" is likely incorrect and should be \"Years\", \"ye\" to \"year\", \"lagh\" to \"laugh\", \"fregand\" to \"frequent\", \"uintal\" to \"until\", \"deve\" to \"develop\", \"advije\" to \"advice\".\n\n3. **Fixing Spacing Issues and Rejoining Broken Sentences**: The text has several spacing issues and broken sentences. For instance, \"Se Hongkongfand.\" should be \"See Hongkong and.\", and \"to continuit\" should be \"to continuity\".\n\n4. **Reordering and Formatting**: The text seems to be a mix of unrelated sentences and parts of a letter. The letter appears to be from a significant official, possibly related to the Hong Kong government, discussing a pension fund. Reordering might be necessary to make the text coherent, especially for parts that seem out of place or are fragmented.\n\n5. **Identifying and Preserving Page Numbering and File References**: The text includes what appears to be a date (\"26 Sept 03\") and a reference to a letter (\"letter of the 16th of September\"). The formatting should preserve the original structure as much as possible, including any page numbering if present.\n\n6. **Converting to Markdown or HTML as Required**: The task requires output in HTML using `` for paragraphs.\n\n## Fixed solution:\nThe provided HTML solution already reflects the corrections and adjustments made according to the instructions.\n\n## Explanation of changes:\n* **Corrected spelling errors**: e.g., \"loved\" (contextual), \"Jeans\" to \"Years\", \"lagh\" to \"laugh\", \"fregand\" to \"frequent\", \"uintal\" to \"until\", \"deve\" to \"develop\", \"advije\" to \"advice\".\n* **Fixed spacing issues**: Removed or added spaces as necessary to improve readability and coherence.\n* **Rejoined broken sentences**: Where possible, sentences were rejoined to improve flow.\n* **Reordered text for coherence**: Especially for the letter part, to make it more readable.\n* **Preserved original structure**: Kept the original paragraph breaks and used `\n\n` tags for HTML output.\n* **Corrected file references and page numbering**: Ensured that file references are without spaces inside parentheses.\n\n## Tests and example uses:\nThe corrected HTML output is ready for use. It can be further tested for readability and coherence by rendering it in a web browser or an HTML viewer.",

Apart from my own efforts, I will say hopefully that the whole situation will be dignified and contradictions will be resolved.\n\nI have gone into the matter, notwithstanding all the impediments and hindrances that have constantly been instituted against my part in uncovering the Susie Jung case. The Ching police have been conducting an underhand investigation, blaming others for their own misconduct.\n\nFunding has been allocated, but it has been opposed by those in power. I have been on my path, directing my efforts towards listing the officials who have been there, trying to bring to light the actions of the Chief Justice and the Supreme Court at the Hong Kong Judiciary, most often under scrutiny.\n\nThe revenue has been increased permanently. To the extent that I have been carrying out my duties, their web of corruption has been exposed.",

Barnes-\n\nLawrence.\n\nThis sad event has deprived his\n\nwife and daughter of a loving husband and father and the\n\nColony of the services of a most painstaking and valuable\n\nservant, whose position it will be difficult to replace.\n\nAs an official and a man, we, in\n\ncommon with the entire shipping community, have learned to\n\nrespect and esteem him - uniformly courteous and obliging\n\nunder all circumstances; an honor to himself and the\n\nColony he so faithfully served.\n\nWe beg leave to express our heart-\n\nfelt condolence with yourself and the officials of the\n\nColony and also, through you, with his wife and daughters.\n\nWe subscribe ourselves,\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nPacific Mail Steamship Company, Occidental & Oriental Steamship\n\nCompany,\n\nToyo Kishen Kaisha,\n\nPortland & Asiatic Steamship Company.\n\nBy\n\n(sd.) S. Silverstone,\n\nAgent.\n\nPage 410\n\n```\n\n## Explanation of changes:\n* Removed nonsensical characters and words at the beginning of the text.\n* Corrected minor spelling errors (e.g., \"valuamble\" to \"valuable\", \"ebliging\" to \"obliging\").\n* Removed extra spacing and reformatted the text into proper paragraphs.\n* Preserved the original page numbering lines.\n* Changed the format to HTML as per the instruction.\n\n## Tests and example uses:\nThe corrected HTML output can be used directly in a web page or further processed for other uses. The content is now more readable and accurately represents the original letter of condolence.",

As to this I speak from memory; but reference to Singapore will show that I am right in my facts.\n\n4. When I was offered my present appointment, I was anxious to make sure that I was running no risk of sacrificing my prospects in the service, and I therefore asked whether I should be eligible for promotion, nor did I accept the appointment until I was reassured on this point. I put up copies of correspondence in confirmation.\n\n5. That my present appointment was regarded as one in the ordinary line of promotion, is clear from the fact it was offered to senior officers in the covenanted service of the Straits Settlements and refused by them, before the chance was given to me; Mr. Clementi was recommended for it by the local Government; the office was",

(bany10) \n\nSir, \n\nI am duly in receipt of your letter of the 13th instant on the subject of the Canton-Kowloon Railway, stating that you have received instructions from H.M. Minister by telegram to request me to appoint delegates at an early date to discuss and arrange matters. \n\nSome time ago, I sent delegates to meet you and Mr. Ross, the representative of the Corporation. Subsequently I received a telegram from the Wai Wu Fu pointing out that the Shanghai Nanking Railway was a long line requiring large funds, whereas in the Canton-Kowloon Railway, the conditions were quite different, the line being short and requiring but small outlay. \n\nAccordingly, the general scope for the construction of this railway ought to be decided in the first instance and thereby avoid future useless discussion. \n\nUnder these circumstances, I have made two suggestions which I have telegraphed to the Wai Wu Fu to be communicated to H.M. Minister for his consideration:- \n\n(1). To borrow the funds from the British Corporation; engage English engineers; and China to construct the railway herself. The line is to be the security, and if thereafter there should be default in the payment of principal or interest, then the British Corporation is to be free to control the accounts of the railway. \n\n(2) The railway to be constructed by funds raised in ...\n\n... \n\nPage 392\n\n \n...\n\n...\n\nPage 392",

It is stated that applications for the execution of the judgments of the Hongkong Courts against absconding Chinese debtors are rarely made as the action that may be taken by the British Consular Authority on receipt of such application is uncertain.\n\nThere is a consensus of opinion among the members both official and unofficial of the legal community here that judgments of the Hongkong Courts should be accepted and that such judgments should precede applications for Consular assistance by the British Consular Authorities as disposing of the merits of the case with which they deal.\n\n(c).

J. J. MacDonald M.D., a member of the Wesleyan Missionary Society who has resided at Wuchow for many years. The steamer touched at Yun Ki, Mahning, Kumchuk and Kaukong taking 9, 2, 31 and 37 passengers at these places respectively. Dinner was served in the saloon at 6 p.m., the Captain, F.W. Joslin, the Chief Engineer, J.W. Seggie, and Dr. MacDonald being present. At about 6.45 these three were talking together on the dack outside the saloon door on the port side when they saw one of the Indian watchmen running forward towards them pursued by a Chinese with a revolver. Captain Joslin hurried aft to the watchman's help and knocked down his assailant who however sprang up and fired at him at close quarters. The bullet struck him full in the middle of the body. A number of men armed with revolvers came running up the ladder. The three Europeans accompanied by the watchmen turned back and made for the ladder leading to the wheelhouse where the arms were kept, but were headed off by a second band of pirates who had come up on the starboard side. They took refuge in the saloon, but the pirates began to pour their fire through the windows to avoid which the four men got under the table a solid teakwood one. A \"stinkpot\" was however thrown in, burning the Engineer considerably and rendering the position untenable. Dr. MacDonald, Captain Joslin and the Indian watchman went out by the starboard door and Mr. Seggie, the Engineer, by the port door. The latter ran the gauntlet of a number of pirates who were firing wildly and got down into the stokehold where he remained safely concealed behind\n\nPage 720\n\nPage 721",

I saw a Chinaman come from the 2nd Class. He got hold of my hands. In the meantime ten men rushed out at me; I was caught hold of by four men, they snatched my revolver. I was kept downstairs and not allowed up, and four men showed their revolvers at me and told me not to sing out. I struggled with them and one struck me on the head with the butt of a revolver. The other men then searched the passengers. One shot hit my heel.\n\nI was chased by the pirates. The iron rail was open as it was daylight. One rail is only shut at 10 p.m. and the other (starboard) is always open.\n\n(Signed)\n\nMalunet Khan.\n\nerit\n\nWong",

As these boats\n\nare in most cases owned by the men who sail them their\n\nloss means in many cases absolute ruin, and after full\n\ndiscussion it was decided that advances up to about one-\n\n-third of the value of the boat should be made, on the\n\ncondition that the boats were ready for work by a certain\n\ndate and that they should be registered in the Colony.\n\nIn all 1601 cases were assisted\n\nof which one was a boat owned by an English Pilot. The\n\ntotal expended being $198,002.00.\n\nAttached is a table showing the\n\nnumber of boats of each class for which assistance was\n\ngranted, this included cargo-boats, sampens and rowing-\n\n-boats, fishing sampans fishing-junks and miscellaneous\n\njunks.\n\nWith regard to the relief in the\n\nNew Territories North of the Kowloon Hills, Messrs. Messer\n\nand Orme kindly undertake this work and a sum of money was\n\nat once placed at their disposal to enable them to deal\n\nwith cases demanding immediate relief. The total sum thus\n\nexpended came to $12,554.00 made up as follows:-\n\nGrants to 27 women for loss of\n\nrelatives $1,750, small grants to 35 people (chiefly\n\nwomen) $449. Compensation for loss of crops and repaira\n\nto embankments $9,045. Grants to Peng Chau Village\n\nfor",

In each place the Court is composed\n\nof but two Judges,\n\nIn Shanghai either party to an motion is\n\nentitled as of right to a jury where the amount involved exceeds\n\n£150. That is a right which in my opinion should be extended to\n\nHis Majesty's subjects in Hongkong where there is nothing to\n\ndistinguish the case of the suitor from that of the suitor in\n\nShanghai.\n\nI base my opinion upon what I conceive to be\n\na broad principle of justice that a party to an action should\n\nnot be forced against his will to submit to the decision of a\n\nsingle Judge, however capable a lawyer he may be, on important\n\nissues of fact.\n\nI think that the general right to demand a\n\ntrial by Jury which existed up to 1901 should be restored. In\n\nmy opinion a man charged with fraud should possess the right to\n\nbe tried by a jury.\n\nI advise that His Excellency invite the\n\nconsidered opinion of the Law Society upon the request made by\n\nthe Chamber of Commerce and that thereafter an expression of\n\nthe views of Their Honours the Judges should be sought.\n\nThe sanction of the Secretary of State\n\nshould be obtained previous to any legislation.\n\n12th.

        "content_text": "## \nmost of Section 6, and I am told that the bridgework is not likely to retard the advancement of the road. With regard to the question of embankments the following figures may be of interest as showing the exceedingly high embankments that are necessary to clear the flood level. The figures refer to cubic yards of embankment per section of 10 miles. As the embankments exceeded the cuttings by a large proportion—five or six to one—the figures of course incidentally represent the total amount of excavation, earth and rock, done. I would here refer to the paragraph \"Floods\" in my previous Report of the 15th September, 1908. The first column contains the estimate previous to the flood there mentioned (these figures are exact). The second column is the hasty estimate calculated to show the increase that would result from raising the grade, and was done in order to compute whether the extra cost would be worth while. The third column is the exact estimate as checked by taking cross-sections.\n\n### Cubic Yards of Embankment\n\n| Section | Original Estimate | Revised Estimate | Final Estimate |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | 1,383,686 | 1,581,578 | Not ready |\n|  | 1,507,986 | 1,408,912 | Not ready |\n| 5 | 920,515 | 827,762 |  |\n| 7 | 750,684 | 563,484 |  |\n| 8 | 1,423,830 | 1,452,928 |  |\n\nThe final figures for Sections 6 and 8 are not yet ready, but it will be seen that in these four sections, which are the ones at present under construction, there is the altogether unusual average of 145,000 cubic yards of embankment per mile.\n\nMost of the earthwork is also finished on the first half of Section 7, and even some of the rip-rap on the slopes that run into the river. The tunnel at Tai Miu Hop, at mile 65, is making good progress. This tunnel is 270 feet long (not 160 feet as previously reported). The headings are now some 100 feet apart. The hill is of hard sandstone rock, so that little or no timbering is necessary.\n\nThe bar to further progress in actual tracklaying at present is an embankment at the beginning of Section 6, a short distance before the Kong Hau bridge, at Mile 51, is reached. Portion of this embankment, laid across an unexpectedly swampy paddy field, has sunk to a somewhat serious extent, and is now being filled in. When bottom is reached and the embankment settles finally, the way will be open to Kong Hau near the North River. Two months is now estimated for the opening of this station, and August or September for the opening of Wong Shek, at Mile 59.\n\nBy far the most interesting work is now proceeding on the Mang Tsai Hop (Blind Boy Gorge), in Section 8. This gorge is about 3 miles in length. Here the line, which hitherto has been able to take advantage of a break in the hills to run on a high embankment 200 or 300 feet from the river, has perforce to stick to the rocky cliff side. Bearing in mind that the line has to clear by some feet the level of the flood, which last year rose 65 feet in the gorge, the difficulty of the construction can best be imagined. As an illustration I may mention that during my visit the Resident Engineer was staking in the centre line, and at certain points had to be lowered by ropes from higher ledges. Photographs of this are inclosed.* At particularly steep points where the natural slope of the embankment would run out into the river, retaining walls are to be put in to hold up the side.\n\nThree tunnels are to be bored through overhanging cliffs, their length being 350 feet, 140 feet and 350 feet respectively. Work has been commenced on all three. The first two are so close together that they are generally spoken of as one. The last is 2 miles from these two, and it is for this 2 miles on the gorge that M. Barres, referred to in Mr. Porter's Intelligence Report for the December 1908 quarter, has obtained the contract. The history of this, as gathered from Mr. Carr-Harris, one of the engineers, may be of interest. In September last the Company called for tenders. M. Barres, alleged to have the backing of the `Banque de l'Indo-Chine`, tendered, but his tender was not one of those considered. The Tai Miu Hop tunnel contractor, to whom belonged the lowest tender, having been found by experience to be unsatisfactory, was rejected and the next tender accepted. The agitation made by the lowest tenderer was such as to induce the Company to call for new tenders, with, however, very stringent conditions. This time M. Barres, having quoted through a Chinese firm, his, the lowest tender, was accepted. The competition on the second call for tenders, was, I am told, so keen that the Company must have saved some 30 per cent. of the cost. Mr. Carr-Harris, however, is of the opinion that M. Barres will lose money by his venture. He has collected several assistants, mostly Greeks, and of course he has sub-let most of the work.\n\nThe most northerly point at which construction is now proceeding is at the 80th mile at the north end of the Blind Boy Gorge, near the junction with Section 9.\n\nI understand that the Company who have hitherto adhered to the practice of erecting temporary structures to open up the line as quickly as possible, have decided to do this no longer. The line is expected to reach Wong Shek in the course of the coming summer. As this is a village of some size on the opposite bank of the North River, the Company calculate that from this point they will tap as much of the river traffic as they are likely to get until Ying Tak, at Mile 87, is reached. They hold therefore that, when Wong Shek is reached, there will be no special advantage in pushing the line through before it is ready in its permanent form.\n\nA branch line connecting with the district city of Ching Yuen on the North River is contemplated, but the Company are apparently precluded from constructing branch lines until their trunk line is completed.\n\nA branch of traffic which I am told is likely to be of value is the tobacco trade at Yuen Tam. Yuen Tam is the collecting centre for the tobacco grown in the surrounding country, which is shipped there for Canton by junk. This trade, which will commence in a few months' time will almost certainly be diverted to the railway. A note of this traffic will be made in the next report on the railway. A large trade in live-stock, such as pigs, chickens, &c., appears to be already carried on by means of the railway.\n\nThe following blue prints supplied confidentially are inclosed:*\n1. Map of the railway as far as Ying Tak.\n*Not reproduced.\nNote. The figures beneath the line indicating the railway, are in hundreds of feet from Wong Sha, i.e., Ying Tak, 4,600 x 100 feet, 87 miles from Wong Sha.\n2. Standard section of embankment on the North River.\n3. Plan of Yuen Tam Station.\n\nIn conclusion, the following details, mostly gleaned from the standard plans decided upon by the Company, may be of interest:\n\n- Rails Weight, 85 lb. per yard; height, 5 inches; distribution of metal: head, 42 per cent.; web, 21 per cent.; flange, 37 per cent.\n- Fishplates: Standard of American Society of Civil Engineers. Weight, 52 lb. per pair.\n- Sleepers: Generally 8 feet by 9 inches by 5 inches.\n- Number of sleepers per mile: 2,288, i.e., 13 ties to rail length of 30 feet. Depth of ballast: 13 inches to base of rail.\n- Width of embankments: 18 feet.\n- Width of cuttings: Earth, 24 feet; rock, 22 feet.\n- Height of top of rail above highest known flood level: Minimum of 3 feet.\n- Slope on embankments: 1 horizontal; 1 vertical.\n- Slope on cuttings: earth, 1¼: 1; rock, ½: 1.\n- Rock slopes: ¼: 1 to ½: 1.\n- Rate of grade; maximum of 4 (i.e., %) foot rise or fall in 100 feet. In some cases, however, it has been found necessary to use a rate of 7.\n- Degree of curve: maximum of 4° (i.e., radius 1,432 feet). The exigencies of the Blind Boy Gorge have, however, necessitated a curve of 9° 30′.\n- Tunnels: horse-shoe type; height, 18 feet from top of rail; width, 12 feet at base and 15 feet in the widest part; lining, concrete; cost, 93 dollars to 115 dollars per lineal foot.\n- Stations: Canadian practice; platform, 16 feet wide; top of coping 14 inches above top of rail; edge of coping 5 ft. 6 in. from centre of track.\n- Cost of line: Mr. Carr-Harris estimates this for Division 2 (Sections 5, 6, 7, and 8) as approaching to 100,000 dollars per mile, inclusive of land and construction, but exclusive of rolling-stock.\n\n**(Signed) R.

M. Pokotilow was then head of the Russo-Chinese Bank. It is said that the Russians are pressing for repayment of this. In a State like Alashan, there is little secrecy, everyone knowing his neighbour's affairs, and these rumours about the King's indebtedness are probably true. The people of Alashan are a pastoral people, with little silver, and they have been taxed as high as they can bear; house rents have also risen—so much so that the Chinese are contemplating a protest at Peking, so that neither of these sources of income can be touched again. Hence, I think, springs the subserviency of the King to the Russians, from whom he hopes to borrow more money. For this, they are doubtless looking for a suitable security, and this security is probably the right to work minerals in the Alashan Mountains.\n\n## The Kozloff Expedition\n\nIt is in the Buriat's house that Colonel Kozloff has taken up his abode, and over which the Russian flag flies. Colonel Kozloff, who is travelling for the Russian \"Academics,\" is accompanied by a botanist and a geologist, as well as by a purely Russian escort, consisting of five Cossacks and five Buriats, the whole under a Russian corporal with the appearance of a General, so magnificent is he. The expedition arrived some three weeks ago and is to stay some three weeks or so longer. I did not see the botanist or geologist who had gone with most of the escort into the Alashan Mountains for three weeks. The route of the expedition has been via Uliassutal and Urga to Dinyuaning. It will proceed southwards to Lanchow and Kokoncor, and will be absent a year or fifteen months. The object of the expedition is to collect specimens of the flowers and birds of the Alashan Range, and to examine the mountains from a geological point of view. Another object is astronomical. Cases of snakes in spirits and stuffed birds have already been sent to Russia, and others are in course of preparation. A discussion on the correct method of stuffing birds led to the production of some ready for transmission. The expedition is well fitted out with barometers and barographs, guns, rifles, and photographic apparatus. The latter is for plates, not films, and these Colonel Kozloff develops himself. I understood the Colonel to say that he did not shoot or stuff the various animals himself, and he appears to confine himself to the more scientific portion of the expedition, the care of the barometers, and to work with a fine telescope he has with him. For this latter work, he has fitted up a small shed on a stand 12 feet high in the courtyard of the Buriat's house. The Alashan Range is reported by all previous travellers to be extremely rich in all minerals, except iron, and coal is said to be exceptionally good. This is very little worked, and that only in a very crude way.\n\nColonel Kozloff speaks a little Mongol and a little Chinese, but no European language except Russian, except for a few words of very broken French. In appearance, he is tall, dirty, and untidy. He dresses in uniform every day. He has distinctly the appearance of a savant, and while I have no doubt whatever that the objects of his expedition are as defined by him, my impression is that he is being utilized also for some political purpose at Dinyuaning, and he is certainly strengthening the Russian prestige with the Prince there, and tightening the hold which the Russians seem to have already acquired over that vassal of China. Whether he is exerting pressure to obtain repayment of the sum of money alleged to have been lent by M. Pokotilow, or whether he is obtaining written promises of Concessions for mines in the Alashan or for a railway from Urga southwards, I cannot say, but both these are possibilities which it would be idle to ignore. The length of time the mission has stayed in Alashan and the daily visits of the Buriat to the King, have aroused considerable suspicion locally, and to these may be added the deferment of the closing of the Buriat's store, which has proved admittedly a financial failure, from season to season. As regards the visit of the expedition to Kokonoor, which is undoubtedly in Thibet, I twice casually mentioned that it was now défendu for us to visit Thibet, otherwise I should have gone there myself. Colonel Kozloff, however, did not understand my words. I have no doubt that he intends to carry out that part of his programme, and he is such a genuine enthusiast respecting travelling in, and exploration of, these regions, that it is possible he may be tempted to travel even farther into East Thibet, and the escort of Russian soldiers would do away with any necessity for the Colonel to ask for one from the Chinese authorities. The Colonel is therefore entirely his own master, and is not likely to be interfered with by any of the Chinese local authorities.\n\nI have forgotten to add that all the missionaries (an unsuspecting race of people) were surprised at my innocence in believing in the alleged objects of the expedition. They were themselves convinced that there was a question of Concessions for mines either in the mountains or in the Gobi, which is stated to be rich in minerals and precious stones. The Roman Catholics were especially apprehensive, and were of opinion that Russia, baulked in Manchuria and China, was busier than ever weaving her web over Mongolia.—Ninghsia, 2nd June, 1908.\n\n## 41\n\nThe following extract from my diary, dated Kweihuacheng, the 27th June, is of interest:—\n\n\"A couple of minutes after leaving the inn (for the journey across Gobi) we met a European entering the town. He was a young English-speaking German, the representative in Peking of the Tien-tsin German engineering and mining firm of ... and Schroeder. He travels a good deal in the interior, and has been away from Peking since March. At Singanfu, he was sent for to Lanchow in connection with the bridge over the Yellow River which his firm are constructing, and in which an Englishman (Tackey) is consulting engineer. At Lanchow, he received an urgent message from the King of Alashan begging him to visit Fumafu. The King sent his own camels and tent down to Ninghsia for the engineer's convenience and subsequently sent him back to the river at Schischnisze in the same manner. From Schischnisze, he had come to Bautu by boat. He was hastening back to Peking, and his whole attitude confirmed my suspicions that there was some mining business in the air in Alashan. Colonel Kozloff and party were still there, and were not expected to leave for the south for some time. My own impression from what I saw and heard throughout Mongolia is that the King of Alashan is in debt to some Russian Agents, possibly the Russo-Chinese Bank at Urga, who are pressing for payment and are content to take a mining Concession temporarily at any rate.\"\n\nAs regards the visit of the Kozloff expedition to Kokonoor, it must be added that while all English and, indeed, many other maps mark the district of Kokonoor as being in Thibet, it is not considered so by the Russian Government, nor indeed, I believe, by the Chinese Government. It would be interesting to know the limits of this district, especially towards the south, for the name is sprawled over a very large area on the map, and it would be equally interesting to know how many of the other States on the fringe of Thibet and which figure in English maps under the name of Thibet are considered by the Russians to be Chinese and not Thibetese Provinces.\n\n# 65\n\nCheguchak, October 1.—At dinner at the Russian Consulate, we had an animated conversation on the subject of Kozloff and Kokonoor. The latter was said to be a Chinese province, so I asked what its capital was. The reply was \"Kukukhoto.\" I objected that this was merely the Mongol name for Kweihuacheng, a town in North Shansi, and this was eventually agreed to, but no one could say what the capital of Kokonoor in that case was.—London, December 1908.\n\n## Fumafu to Ninghsiafu\n\nMay 30.—We left for the south by the slightly longer but easier route for Ninghsiafu. We kept south parallel to the Alashan Mountains, but slightly above the level of the plain on the slopes of the foothills. The road was broad and good, stony but not sandy; the first few miles were slightly undulating, after which it became level. After leaving the Oasis of Fumafu, the country is bleak and desolate with no trees except at the rare farms sighted or passed. There was no vegetation except some occasional rough grass. It was a dreary road, with to the left the bleak low foothills leading up to and partly concealing the fine mountain chain, to the right a gentle stony slope down to the plains and hot sands beyond. The breeze blew little whirlpools of sand which drifted like geysers about the plain in a detached manner. We reached Yoba, our halting place for the night at mile 20, passing at mile 19 the residence of a brother of the Alashan King.\n\nYoba is a solitary house; inn accommodation is good, but supplies are both dear and scarce. The inn is kept by Chinese, and not by Mongols.\n\nMay 31.—We started in a south-eastern direction, the road being excellent, but dreary in the extreme, leading as before over a bleak desolate uncultivated and almost uninhabited country. The only traffic we met were carts bringing pigs for sale at Fumafu, and others taking wood to Ninghsia. The inn at Yoba has plenty of work, as all traffic either way stops there.\n\nAt Cheng yo schui (after 10 miles), where there is a good inn, we turned eastwards to penetrate and break through the mountains. The road continues excellent, but...",

The Boarding Officers are not clerks, they are Master Mariners, and have nothing to do with ships' certificates of registry. The Junk Inspectors have nothing to do with either certificates of registry or with the ships themselves. They all have their particular work to do, and this keeps them at work from 6 a.m. till sunset. \n\nThe explanation given is the correct one. Every facility and encouragement is given to ships and Passage Brokers; and I think that this is proved by the fact that no complaints are forthcoming, when one takes into account the rivalry between firms, and the consequent, almost inevitable, allegations of favouritism, which should be expected. As a matter of fact, the ship which is sailing first gets the preference; otherwise precedence is arranged by mutual agreement between the rival brokers.",

Commenting on your letter it is observed that Paragraph 2(1) the presence of the I.O.Us. in the Sailors' Home safe is admitted. The words \"As the occurrence referred to is stated to have taken place on Saturday the 22nd October, 1910\" are not very clear, but they apparently refer to the date of the placing of the I.O.Us. in the safe. There is no evidence of any sort regarding such date.\n\nYou state:- \"As I have before pointed out, the money in the Sailors' Home ante was not Government money but belonged to the Sailors' Home\", your inference evidently being that the money lent by the shroff against the I.O.Us. was taken from that particular safe. Your argument throughout has been that, as the I.O.Us. were in this safe, the money lent on them was taken from it. No evidence has been adduced on either side to show whether Sailors' Home money or Government money was lent on these I.O.Us.\n\nCommander Basil Taylor, R.M.  \nHarbour Master\n\n25th March  \n5760/1910  \n6.1.0.7th",

All counterfoil books are brought up to the Assistant Harbour Master's room at 4.30 p.m. daily (12.15 on Saturdays), together with all three shroffs' collection books. The counterfoils are then compared with the entries in the collection books. The money collected during the day by the Junk Office Shroffs is paid to the Office shroff, who signs for it, and credits the sums so paid to them in his collection book. The total appearing in the latter is carried on to the next day, and the money locked up in the strong room, of which the office shroff holds one key and Mr. Lenfestey the other, so that neither can open the door without the other. At noon the next day the money, together with that collected that morning, which is also carefully checked by the Assistant Harbour Master or by me, is paid into the Bank. This method appeared to me absolutely to shut out the possibility of dishonesty, such a thing as forgery never occurring to me, as being possible, as it would seem bound to be discovered at once. The forgeries are certainly extremely good imitations of Mr. Jones's initials.\n\n2. It is the duty of the clerks in the junk office to fill in both foil and counterfoil, and date them, then handing the book to the shroff sitting next to him, for collection, the book is then handed to Mr. Lenfestey for signature, and the foil then detached and handed to the applicant by the clerk who filled it in.\n\n3. Then Mr. Chan Fui, late clerk, joined the Department in 1905, Captain Barnes Lawrence instructed him to check the junk office accounts daily, and this was carried out up to the time that I went home on leave. While I was away Commander Backwith issued a memo. which Mr. Chan Fui held, relieved him from that duty. I fail to see that it does so, and, as a matter of fact, he did not discontinue the scrutiny, for I have myself seen him going through those books since I returned from leave, and was therefore satisfied that the practice was still maintained.

The slightest reflection would, it seems to your Committee, have shown Muhamed Akbar that his scheme was attended with great personal risk for he would realize that, within a reasonable time, the letter sent by the Official Administrator to the Commissioner Hoshiarpur District advising the latter of the despatch of the money to him, must be, if that money did not reach him, productive of an answer from him to the effect that no money had been received and that, upon receipt by the Official Administrator of such a letter, enquiry would be at once made as to the apparent non-transmission of the money in question, when Mr. Alim Khan being able to produce the receipts signed or initial-led by himself (Muhamed Akbar) which would be without much difficulty traced back to him he (Akbar) would, if they were spurious, find himself hoisted with his own petard.\n\nYour Committee is not prepared to assert that it would have been absolutely impossible for Muhamed Akbar to have obtained unused receipts although Mr. Dixon states that none of these forms (which are consecutively audit-numbered) are missing and it is, of course, conceivable that such receipts could be forged, not however without fear of subsequent detection when the audit numbers were compared; but both these ideas your Committee is disposed to brush aside as not within the range of reasonable possibility.\n\nWith\n\nPage 180\n\nPage 181",

        "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.

        "content_text": "# CANADA AND INDIA\n\nThe British Empire is apparently a disqualification. I do not wish to speak of retaliation, but, in my humble opinion, no so-called reciprocity will be worth anything if the colonist be not taught to respect the golden rule and to realize that the Indian's country is not for him to exploit at his sweet will. I have every hope that since out of evil cometh good, one beneficial result of this war will be that racial antagonism will to a large extent die out, and the white man will recognize that the brown or black man who fought side by side with him and shed his blood without stint does not deserve to be, and cannot be, despised. The time is coming for the adjustment of our differences in a true statesmanlike spirit, which will not divorce morality from politics and which will steer clear not only of all petty selfish prejudices, but also of all narrow, short-sighted, and degrading considerations. A fair settlement is all that we ask for.-Dr. Satish Chandra Banerji, in the **Indian Review**.\n\n## QUESTION UNDER CONSIDERATION\n\nIn regard to the \"representation\" referred to in the above article, and which was reprinted in full in the preceding number of **Canada and India** under the title \"The Status of Indians Within the Empire,\" this statement is made in the **Indian Review**, July: \"In connection with the memorial submitted to the Government on the question of the position of Indians in the colonies, and particularly in Canada, by the United Provinces Congress Committee, a reply has been received from the Government of the United Provinces, which says the whole question is under consideration of the Government of India, and matters dealt with in the memorial will receive their earnest attention in any negotiations which may be undertaken with the Colonial Governments with a view to arriving at a satisfactory solution of the difficulties which have arisen.\"\n\n## EMIGRATION AFTER THE WAR\n\nThe following expression of opinion regarding Indian emigration has an added interest because taken from an Anglo-Indian paper: \"The Governments of the Dominions must be prepared to cope with that spirit of adventure, and if they are wise they will prepare well beforehand, not in the old compromising spirit, but in a desire to deal justly and honourably with a proud race. The Government of India, too, must prepare by affording facilities for opening up Mesopotamia, that land of ancient glory and fertility, and by encouraging enterprise in the borderlands of India. It must remove restrictions that hamper the mobility of labour and operate against industries that need workers. But when the Government of India has done all that is possible to do to keep the labour it so badly needs itself in India, there will still remain a number of adventurous souls who will turn to distant lands. These are the men with whom our Dominions must deal, and if the bitterness of the past is to be avoided an early endeavour should be made to arrive at a fair and honourable scheme for their admission.\"-**Calcutta Englishman**.\n\n## INDIA IN FINAL WAR SETTLEMENT\n\nCommenting on why India should have a voice in the final settlement of the issues of this war, the **Bombay Chronicle** says: \n\n\"In view of the beginning that has already been made in the new relations of intimate confidence and consultation with the Dominions, it is but natural that India should not only expect a measure of confidence to be extended to her, but that she should be anxious to know why responsible Ministers are loath to assure her equally with the Dominions that her aspiration will not be ignored. One would prefer to leave the public discussion of these matters on one side at the present moment, and there is every desire to avoid controversy and embarrassment to the Government, but what is to be done when we find the Minister in charge of the interests of the colonies going out of his way amidst the plaudits of the public to announce the new rights and privileges to be enjoyed by the Dominions as a direct response to their services and loyal devotion to the Mother Country in the war, while the Minister for India is silent as to the part which India is to be allowed to play? In the face of the loquacity of Mr. Bonar Law, the silence of Mr. Chamberlain is likely to be given a sinister interpretation in this country. It is incumbent upon the Secretary of State to announce whether India is to be consulted or not, even if he is not prepared to tell us in what form she will be represented in the Imperial Council Chamber.\"\n\n## WHAT BRITAIN SHOULD DO\n\nNow, what is the dominant note of the French civilization? It is liberty, equality, and fraternity. Perhaps it stands on an even higher moral plane than the British civilization. This high standard of moral conception of human relationship was attained by the French nation after it had passed through the volcanic stage of the Revolution. It is the next higher stage to the ideal aimed at by British culture, and is not antagonistic, but allied to it. The whole system of French Government is based on the recognition of this ideal, and the spirit of its administration is permeated by it. In the words of Mr. Cloudesley Brereton in the **Hibbert Journal**, in the modern French Empire, there is no second-class citizens. Rightly or wrongly, there is no colour line in French citizenship. The inhabitant of Senegal, of Tahiti, or Madagascar, is treated, is regarded, just as much a French citizen as the inhabitants of Paris or Marseilles; and, what is more important, he regards himself as such, and is proud of belonging to a nation which he hears described as the finest in the world. This appeal is not first and foremost to his desire for good Government, or even to his sense of justice. It is to his sense of dignity as a human creature. It is to this ideal to which the British Government must approximate in order to achieve a full measure of success in Britain's associations with India.-The **Allahabad Leader**.\n\n## A NOTABLE BIRTHDAY\n\nMr. Dadabhai Naoroji, who is called India's Grand Old Man and the father of Indian political reform, saw his 90th birthday on September 4th. It is comparatively rare for an Indian public man to attain great age, and since his retirement some years ago his birthday has been regarded as a national anniversary. Some of the leading English papers had interesting references to the event.\n\n### THE FIRST INDIAN M.P.\n\nIt is certainly interesting to recall that the little white-headed Parsee who was an energetic London member in the last Gladstonian House of Commons, was born so long ago as 1825, more than thirty years before the rule of the East India Company was merged in that of the Crown, and a long time before the gallant Sikhs, now fighting with us in Flanders and the Dardanelles, were incorporated in the British Empire. Mr. Naoroji, who kept up his activities until he was past four score, now lives in retirement near Bombay. The Viceroy always sends him a birthday telegram, and so do many other dignitaries, who bear no malice towards an old opponent, and like to think of the aged agitator as in these days a very fervent supporter of the Imperial cause.-The **Pall Mall Gazette**.\n\n### ADVOCATE OF GREAT REFORMS\n\nHe has lived to see a great part of the programme for which he fought adopted by the Imperial Government and much of his criticism of the economic basis of the Indian revenue system admitted by all impartial enquirers. When Mr. Naoroji began the labours that lasted without intermission until his final return to India, eight years ago, his countrymen were not admitted to the Indian Civil Service, or even to the Legislative Councils. They sit now in the Viceroy's Cabinet and preside over departments of State, are elected by popular franchise to seats in the Councils, and not seldom dominate the University Senates and the High Court bench. There is still a great deal to be done, as the war has made everybody realize, before the Government is brought into harmony with the reasonable claims of the Indian people. But it is rare indeed for any reformer to enjoy so great a measure of fulfilment as this fine old Indian can reflect upon to-day.-The **Manchester Guardian**.\n\n(The University of Bombay conferred the honorary degree of LL.D. on Mr. Naoroji the other day.)\n\n## CANADA\n\n### INDIA AND IMPERIAL CONFERENCE\n\nReuter's Agency at Ottawa has been busy of late. On September 23rd the following appeared in the Canadian papers: \n\nA special despatch from Simla announces that India's place in the councils of the Empire was discussed at an important meeting of the Imperial Legislative Council today, and that a resolution will be forwarded to London requesting that measures be taken to have India represented at the next Council of the Empire, as are the various overseas Dominions and dependencies.\n\nThe resolution, which was moved by the Hon. Khan Bahadur Mian Muhammad Shafi, asked that India in future be officially represented at conferences of the British Empire, the request to be forwarded to the Secretary of State for India.\n\n### VICEROY IN SYMPATHY\n\nLord Hardinge, the Viceroy, affirmed that the Government of India gladly accepted this important resolution, which had his warmest sympathy, adding that if Council adopted it his Government would readily comply with the recommendation. The Viceroy proceeded to recapitulate what had occurred at previous conferences.\n\nThe ultimate decision at the next meeting of the conference rested with the conference itself. If India were admitted, said his Excellency, it would appear reasonable that she should be represented by the Secretary and one or two other officials from India.\n\nLord Hardinge dwelt upon the difficulties and obstacles in the way of carrying out the request, but laid emphasis upon the fact that the Imperial Government, without committing themselves regarding its principles or details, would give most careful consideration to the Legislative Council's resolution, although the ultimate decision of the Imperial Government must necessarily depend largely upon the attitude of the other members of the conference. He thought this pledge eminently satisfactory, as showing due appreciation of India's claims, to which, he trusted, the Governments of the overseas Dominions would give sympathetic consideration.\n\n### BRITAIN'S BEST CUSTOMER\n\nMuch had happened since the last Imperial Conference, said the Viceroy, and India's size and population, her wealth, her military resources, and her patriotism demanded suitable representation. She could not be disregarded when great Imperial issues were debated in which she was concerned. To discuss questions of the defence of the Empire without counting upon India, he declared, would be ignoring the value of the Empire's greatest military asset, outside the United Kingdom itself. To discuss trade questions without India would be disregarding Britain's best customer. To concede India direct representation in future Imperial Conferences would be no revolutionary or far-reaching concession to Indian opinion or to her just claims.\n\n\"I feel confident,\" said Lord Hardinge in conclusion, \"that when the question is placed in its true light before the Governments of the Dominions they will regard it from the widest angle of vision, from which we hope other Indian questions may be viewed in the near future, so that the people of India may, in the words of Mr. Asquith, feel that they are conscious members of a living partnership extending all over the world under the same flag.\"\n\n### INDIA'S PLACE IN THE EMPIRE\n\nIt is right to mention here that India in a sort of way has been represented at the meetings of the Imperial Conference by the official class, but what the Indian public now want is an Indian representative of the Indian people. This is shown by the unanimous way in which the Indian members of the Council asked for it in the Council chamber.\n\n### COMMENTS OF THE CANADIAN PRESS\n\n| Newspaper        | Comment                                                                                                                                 |\n|------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| **Toronto Star** | \"The question of the representation of India in the Imperial Conference is likely to become practical soon...\"                        |\n|                  | \"Why should not the representatives of India go into consultation with those of Canada?...\"                                          |\n| **Toronto World**| \"With the endorsation of the Viceroy, the Indian Council has forwarded to the Secretary of State for India a request...\"               |\n| **Mail and Empire** | \"The time has come for taking India into the Councils of the whole Empire...\"                                                       |\n| **Toronto Globe**| \"It will be interesting for British people everywhere to watch the effect of the present war and the coming peace...\"                |\n\nThe **Toronto Star** referring to it says: \"The question of the representation of India in the Imperial Conference is likely to become practical soon. At present the conference is one of self-governing commonwealths only. But it is purely advisory, has no legislative power, and there does not appear to be any insuperable difficulty in the way of allowing representatives of India to take part in a conference. Why should not the representatives of India go into consultation with those of Canada? The Imperial Legislative Council of India wants this, and their request is supported by Lord Hardinge, the Viceroy. Questions relating to Indian migration into the colonies have come before the conference, but no representative of India was present. Now, the way to settle this question of Indian migration is by friendly discussion between the representatives of India and those of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.\"\n\nThe **Toronto World** writes: \"With the endorsation of the Viceroy, the Indian Council has forwarded to the Secretary of State for India a request that India be hereafter represented at the Imperial Conference. When acknowledging its receipt, Mr. Chamberlain stated that inasmuch as the composition of the conference is a matter for the conference itself, the overseas Dominions must be consulted before a more definite reply can be given. Few, however, of those conscious of the evolution and development of the British Empire will refuse sympathetic consideration of the claim made by the Indian Government, or fail to recognize that it can be supported on real and weighty grounds.\"\n\nThe **Mail and Empire** of Toronto expresses the opinion that \"The Imperial Legislative Council will forward to London a resolution in favour of the admission of representatives of India to the Imperial Conference. The petition is not likely to be denied. Before replying to it the British Government will doubtless communicate with the several Dominion Governments, whose concurrence will decide the matter. The time has come for taking India into the Councils of the whole Empire.\"\n\nWhilst the **Toronto Globe** comments thus: \"It will be interesting for British people everywhere to watch the effect of the present war and the coming peace on the minds of the Indian peoples. The cheerful loyalty and self-sacrificing courage of the Hindu soldiers in the war have made it inevitable that some change shall take place in their status as citizens.\"\n\n### CANADA MUST BE COSMOPOLITAN\n\nAn Italian in Welland writes to the **Star** protesting against a real estate handbill in which a certain locality is described as desirable because foreigners are barred. Our correspondent is quite right in his view that the alliance of which we now form part ought to break down instead of increasing racial prejudice. It need hardly be said that we should be generous to the Hindus, who are members of the British Empire, and whose brethren are fighting for our cause in France and at the Dardanelles. A broad-minded Imperialist must necessarily be a cosmopolitan, absolutely free from racial prejudice.-The **Star**.\n\n### IS IT FAIR?\n\nWhen our Aryan forefathers broke up their homes in Southern Asia, some of them went to India. When that Empire was added to Britain, Queen Victoria gave these, our Indian cousins, her pledge (and her son Edward and her grandson George have since reiterated that pledge), in which she said: \"We hold ourselves bound to the natives of our Indian territories by the same obligations of duty which bind us to all our other subjects.\"\n\nIn 1911, an ex-soldier from India who had settled in Canada went home to bring out his wife and child. On his return they were detained under bond of $1,000, and were admitted after three months' litigation, but only as an act of grace.\n\nAbout 2,500 of these fellow-citizens from India are in Canada, the great majority of them being Sikhs. Only five of these men's wives have thus far been admitted. Yet they are the husbands of one wife each; they are distinguished loyalists, having saved the Empire at the time of the mutiny. They have fought in Asia and Africa, and are now fighting in Europe for our \"free institutions\" with a bravery unsurpassed, and are showing a generosity which is the admiration of the Empire.\n\nIs it not time for us to think what our treatment of them on the western coast looks like to them? Is it not time for our Government to \"clean house\" in this matter? Turkish Mohammedans, who would have several wives if they dared, enjoy all the privileges of other Europeans in this Dominion, and are allowed to bring wives and children here; why should our own fellow-citizens, who are bearing the burdens of the Empire and are superior to the Mohammedan in every way, have their wives and children excluded?-**Public Health Journal**.\n\n### SIKH CITIZENS OF THE EMPIRE\n\nJ. A. M. writes: \"Before even the claims of the Japanese, 'an Imperial ally,' come the Imperial rights of the Sikh, a British citizen. In his case, more than in that of the Japanese citizen, has been 'seen the conflict of Imperial and domestic considerations.' And whilst in the handling of the case of the alien there was at least a savor of diplomacy, in the handling of that of the Sikh there has been little but prevarication.

Fixed spacing issues (e.g., removed extra spaces, added missing spaces).\n3. Rejoined broken sentences (e.g., \"Requests that CA. may be instructed to pony han Lis\" -> \"Requests that CA. may be instructed to pay pension contributions in respect of certain officers\").\n4. Restored paragraph breaks where necessary.\n5. Indicated missing words with `...` is not needed here as the text is mostly clear.\n6.

Later, except in the case of such be paid by cheque or cash in this office, the shroff called and collected the sums due, giving his receipt. There were no means of knowing what bills had or had not been paid, nor how much money was in the hands of the shroff. Such money as he had collected but had not paid in to the bank, was kept in a safe at the Sailor's Home, of which he alone had a key. When money was paid in to the bank, which it was on alternate days, the shroff was supposed to produce to the accountant all the money he had collected since the last paying in day, and this amount was entered on the paying in slip, the money paid in to the bank, and the bank's receipt handed to the accountant. The theory appears to have been that if any money was short, the shroff's sureties would make good the loss to the Government, and this was their only security.\n\n4. As Assistant Harbour Master I was not in a position to object to the system, but when I became Harbour Master in 1907, I pointed out that the sum in which the shroff was secured was insufficient and recommended that it be increased to a sum commensurate with those he was in the habit of handling. This was not approved. I then gave instructions that the shroff was to collect no money outside the office, at the same time issuing a circular to all firms and others who had, or were likely to have, financial dealings with the Department, requesting them to pay all sums due by cheque, or if in cash, to this office only, as the shroff had no authority to collect any money elsewhere, or to give a receipt. I also arranged that any money remaining in hand, received after banking hours, should be deposited in a safe in this office, the Chief Clerk holding the key. This, I conceived, was the best I could do, under the circumstances, to secure the safety of",

Negapatam Strait Steamer to the Ben Line steamer \"Benavon\" at Singapore, while the P. & O. \"Kashgar\" was scheduled to leave Singapore for Hongkong a few hours later.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. Parr in his address to the Members of the Chamber of Commerce at the last Annual General Meeting said:-\n\n\"The reason why some mails arrive more quickly than others depends largely upon the wait at Singapore for the first most expeditious steamer leaving for Hongkong: that it will be readily understood that the first steamer leaving may not be the quickest, therefore discrimination on the part of the Post Office at Singapore may sometimes be necessary\".\n\nIt would appear therefore this is a case where the Singapore Postal Authorities have discriminated wrongly, for, they must surely have known that the S.S. \"Kashgar\", a reputed fast P. & O. steamer leaving a few hours later must easily overtake the S.S. \"Benavon\", and did in fact overtake it, arriving in this Port a day earlier.\n\nThe Honourable\n\nThe Colonial Secretary.",

These people would be left to be dealt with exactly as at present: by detective enquiries leading to Police Court prosecution wherever possible: or where evidence for the Court might be lacking but the case in the opinion of the Governor in Council justified such action, by banishment. The records of the Colony show that the campaign against traffickers along these lines is actively carried on: and they show also a constant strengthening of the law, generally on the advice of the Chinese.\n\nThe attitude often taken up by foreigners on this question seems to ignore the efforts of the Chinese themselves in Hong Kong and indeed would almost seem to deny them the possession of any proper sympathy or initiative. The institution known as the Po Leung Kuk is evidence to the contrary; and it is difficult to see what better means there are at present of finding a solution for the difficulty. The Kuk is managed and financed by voluntary annual Committees of Chinese, there being in addition a permanent Committee, called when necessary, of the most prominent and public-spirited residents of the Colony. All of them have served on the Annual Committee, and on other charitable Committees as well. The Kuk itself is the Girls' Home and in it are kept cases under consideration: special ordinance gives the necessary powers: but very many cases are dealt... \n\n:7829 003 ad biwow noisavc squssed (ia) traila aqadireg nevs 10 ydtaqmıya vilduq xosi bluow îna od dimette avoiros yas dedd anoiteluged ant yd.

It is \n\nno more possible to recognise and keep a check on the mui taai moving to and fro than it is to recognise and keep a check on all robbers and bad characters from the \n\ninterior. \n\nThe Colony has, with the active assistance of resident Chinese, developed its own system of detecting and dealing with abuses as far as possible: this will be referred to below. It appears that something more is asked for: but the only suggestion made is for some form of registration. A very slight local knowledge would show that the practical difficulties in the way of registering all mui taai in the Colony are so great as to render the suggestion of little value at the best: the regulations would have to contain Sections appointing Inspectors, (who, if not Europeans, would have at least to be under the closest European supervision), with large powers of entry to private houses; penalties for breach would be necessary; and with it all we should be required to deal only with cases at best irritate without making any real advance. \n\ntravellers going through \n\nthe Colony. \n\nCases of abuse could be just as easily covered: mui tsai are young and simple, with all the stupidity and timidity of the most rustic inexperience, and the truth is rarely \n\nto be got from them or through them; witnesses on their side are very rarely to be found, while the kidnapper or procuress has little difficulty in finding support for any story that may fit the case; relationship itself can be claimed, with little chance of the claim being disproved. All the evil disposed would be no worse off",

The 'packet system' and the use of antiseptics immediately before exposure are declared to be of little value. The evidence as to the efficacy of immediate treatment after exposure is on the other hand distinctly favourable. It is unnecessary to go through the evidence of all the witnesses, mostly Military Medical Officers, but we find a general consensus of opinion that \"Early Preventive Treatment, connoting treatment applied immediately after exposure to infection, is of the highest value in preventing the development of venereal disease.\n\nWe may quote from a memorandum and the information given to the Committee by Sir G. Archdall Reid, M.B., one of the greatest living authorities on the subject of venereal disease, the following extracts:-\n\n#\n\n*As regards prophylaxis before exposure to infection, no medicaments were, in his opinion, of use in preventing syphilis or gonorrhoea.\"\n\n\"For use after risk of exposure to infection. Probably an active antiseptic is an almost certain preventive if applied very soon after exposure.\" (He mentions five minutes as the certain period). \"He considered that it was both desirable and practicable to convey to the public the necessary information on self-disinfection. This might be done by means of posters in public urinals, etc., and by suitably worded articles in the press. He would word the posters and articles so that men would be able to follow the instructions, and that there would be no danger of the public falling into the error of supposing that prophylactic methods were of any use in the treatment of established disease.\"\n\n(c) is signed by the President, Vice-Presidents, Chairmen of",

The profession is not quite the profession as known in Europe: family parties are still rare (even in private houses) and it is the usual custom for men dining at a Restaurant to be attended by prostitutes sitting behind their chairs: one each; they provide the social and the cheery element perhaps as jesters, perhaps as buffoons. There is a regular scale of charges for this service, which by no means necessarily leads further after dinner: the contract is complete with the dinner. In the practice of their profession, the higher class prostitutes as a rule limit themselves to the attentions of one man: and there is always the possibility of being taken out of the brothel and converted into a perfectly respectable concubine. This is in fact not uncommon and the brothel origin forms no particular obstacle to the concubine being accepted in her new status. The old English attitude towards actresses (when the stage was of less repute) which was based on its suspicions was much more severe than is the Chinese attitude towards the high class prostitute, about whom there is no secret. And these women will state her profession of \"prostitute\" as readily as any other profession; with less reluctance perhaps than an actress would have claimed the stage a century ago. Matters are of course made easy by the recognised system of concubinage in China: and prostitutes\n\n(88",

There must have been a certain amount of fighting but the resistance offered by the Chinkiang troops appears to have been very feeble. It is not unlikely that the troops who had come from lower down the line, realizing that they were in danger of being outflanked both by road and river, took an early opportunity of getting together all available locomotives and rolling stock and retreated to Tanyang; those that remained were either captured or dispersed through the hills. No resistance was offered by the forts here; I am told that the men had all been bought over a week before the attack took place. During the 17th one shot was fired from the fort on Silver Island at a launch passing down river, and that was all. The main body of the attack did not halt long in Chinkiang but pushed on towards Tanyang; by the evening of the 18th railway communication with Nanking had been re-established and on the 19th with Changchow. There appears to have been fighting at Tantu,\n\nbetween",

        "content_text": "# \n22 \n\n(2) Mui-tsai are slaves, because they are deprived of their rights and liberty, are not paid for their labour, and can be re-sold at any time.\n\n(3) There have been innumerable cases of ill-treatment and neglect of mui-tsai. There have also been some cases of employers seducing their mui-tsai, or selling them for immoral purposes. In all such cases it is very difficult for these girls, owing to their ignorance, to defy their employers.\n\n(4) Child-drowning bears no relationship to the mui-tsai system, inasmuch as in child-drowning the victim is invariably one or two days old, while girls sold as mui-tsai have generally attained the age of five or six years, an age at which they can be useful to their purchasers.\n\n(5) The argument that the abolition of the system would lead to the starvation of a large number of poor children can be met by the argument that when employers lose the services of their mui-tsai, they would have to employ paid servant-girls to take their place; and so the daughters of the poor, instead of being sold as chattels, would become paid servants.\n\n(6) Mui-tsai keeping is not charity but, on the contrary, tends to encourage selfish and mercenary men to part with their children in order to enable themselves to be more self-indulgent.\n\n(7) To pass a law with the object of merely preventing cruelty would mean the preservation of the poison in the system by neglecting the source of the disease.\n\n(8) Registration should not cause undue inconvenience and trouble. At present, schools, companies, births and deaths, and medical practitioners have to be registered, and no inconvenience has been experienced by the parties concerned.\n\n(9) The system was abolished by law in China towards the end of the Manchu regime, and again at the beginning of the Republic; and if such could be done in so vast a country as China, there is no reason why it should not be done in this small Colony.\n\n(10) Even if there were some flaws in the draft Bill, the proper way would be to point them out in order to have them remedied, instead of asking that the whole Bill be withdrawn.\n\nThe arguments of the other side for the withdrawal of the Bill are, roughly, as follows:-\n\n(1) Mui-tsai are not slaves, and have never been so regarded in China either by law or by custom. When a mui-tsai is married, she is allowed to look upon the home of her former employer as her own home and is treated as a member of the family.\n\n(2) The lot of the majority of the mui-tsai in Hong Kong is far better than that of the children of poor families in the interior of China, the former being much better fed and clothed. Their parents, if they so wish, are allowed to see them at regular intervals.\n\n(3) Mui-tsai are not always sold; some poor people, having too many children and being unable to support them all, may present some to well-to-do families in order to enable them to be properly brought up and married off.\n\n(4) It can truthfully be said that about ninety or even ninety-five per cent. of the mui-tsai in Hong Kong are well-treated. Those employers who overwork or otherwise ill-treat their mui-tsai would not be deterred by registration, and the only remedy would seem to be imprisonment without the option of a fine in case of gross cruelty. If there are cases of ill-treatment of mui-tsai, there are also cases of ill-treatment of one's own children; a cruel-hearted person in a rage loses the sense of discrimination. Ill-treatment of children is not the fault of a system, but of individuals. The illustration that to take measure merely for preventing cruelty to mui-tsai, without abolishing the system, resembles leaving the poison in the system, is not as convincing as the one that to get rid of a boil on the head, one does not cut off the head.\n\n(5) Before the Bill, with its present irksome provisions, becomes law, some people may send their mui-tsai to the interior to be sold, or given away, or kept with friends. With the already over-populated state of the country, the condition of the mui-tsai would become worse, as a direct outcome of the legislation.\n\n(6) If mui-tsai of or over the age of eighteen are suddenly released from control, when control is more than ever desirable, they may misuse their freedom in all sorts of ways; and so to free them would in reality mean the removal of necessary and salutary control.\n\n(7) The abolition of mui-tsai would not do away with kidnapping of children, but, on the contrary, would increase the sale of girls to evil-disposed persons as \"daughters\". These girls are brought up as \"daughters\" without being required to do domestic work; some with such tender care that their hands are not exposed to hard labour in order not to coarsen them! The object is obvious.\n\n(8) If the Bill is passed, the Government will be faced with the stupendous task of finding accommodation or employment for the large number of mui-tsai who may seek emancipation, or whose employers may voluntarily surrender them to the Government. If the Government does not take charge of all these girls, they must perforce make their employers continue to keep them. Thus, whatever may be the change in the name of the mui-tsai, they can have no change in their position, and it may further be said that they are kept in such a position with the approval or even the authority of the Government.\n\n(9) To enforce the provisions of the Bill, particularly that part relating to inspection and registration, means the employment of a large army of inspectors and detectives for domiciliary visits, and for inspection work upon the arrival and departure of all the trains and steamers which bring in and take out thousands of people every day. This would be costly to the Government, and vexatious to the people.\n\nThese, Sir, are the views of those who ask for the withdrawal of the Bill. There is, besides, another section of the Chinese Community who, while advocating the ultimate abolition of the mui-tsai system, consider that the time is not yet, and in any case strongly deprecate registration. Now, I have given, to the best of my ability, the arguments put forward by the various parties, for and against the measure. The English Secretary of the Anti-Mui-tsai Society has also sent me a letter giving a gist of the views of his Executive Committee on the Bill, which I have handed to the Honourable the learned Attorney-General for his consideration. I am, however, asked to say here that what they recommend constitutes the irreducible minimum. In effect, they support the Bill, with certain proposed amendments which, they consider, should strengthen it. My Chinese colleague and I have also received from the Chinese Labour Unions, the Chinese Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A., the Chinese Christian Union, and the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce written representations which we have likewise turned over to the Government.\n\nHaving divested myself of the task imposed upon me by the two sides, of restating their opinions here, I will endeavour to express the views of my Chinese colleague and myself. We feel that where there is a divergence of opinion it is not enough for a member of this Honourable Council merely to express the views, however impartially, of the people whom he represents. He should also weigh the value of the conflicting arguments, endeavour to unravel the web of confusion woven by the disputation, and form his own judgment. In expressing our own conclusion, our honest convictions, it would be necessary for me to go over some of the grounds already traversed, but I know I can count upon a patient hearing. The crux of the matter seems to us to be whether a mui-tsai is a slave or not. If she is, we should not tolerate the system for even one day longer in this Colony; but this point is disposed of by clause 2 of the Bill. Still, in spite of such a definite pronouncement from the Government, we cannot get away from the fact that cases of cruelty have from time to time come to light. We therefore consider that the mui-tsai need special protection by the Government. While I abhor cruelty to children...\n\n23 \n\n*2",

The crux of the matter seems to us to be whether a mui-tsai is a slave or not. If she is, we should not tolerate the system for even one day longer in this Colony; but this point is disposed of by clause 2 of the Bill. Still, in spite of such a definite pronouncement from the Government, we cannot get away from the fact that cases of cruelty have from time to time come to light. We therefore consider that the mui-tsai need special protection by the Government. While I abhor cruelty to children and consider a fine, however heavy, totally inadequate for offenders, I agree with those who hold that the present Bill would not deter the small number of people, who are by nature cruel, from ill-treating their mui-tsai. For such people, I advocate a long term of imprisonment with hard labour. I strongly deprecate, as do all my Honourable Unofficial colleagues, the introduction of registration. Endless inconvenience and trouble would be caused to the people by requiring them to register their mui-tsai, to report any change of address, and wherever they leave the Colony with a mui-tsai, even temporarily. I do not agree with the supporters of the Bill that registration in this case would not cause undue inconvenience, judging by the smooth working of the laws governing the registration of births, schools, companies, and medical practitioners. This is arguing on totally wrong premises. A little thought will convince any impartial person that it is one thing to have, for instance, a birth or a school registered, and quite another to have to report every intended removal of a mui-tsai from the Colony, even temporarily, and every change of address of the mui-tsai or of the employer. Further, according to the Bill, the employer, whatever his station in life, has to take out an identification ticket, as if (to use the words of a Chinese gentleman) he were a discharged convict who has periodically to report himself to the police. Moreover, registration in this case, if it is to be effective, would necessitate domiciliary visits, which would open a door to all sorts of abuses, such as bribery, thieves masquerading as detectives to gain admission into houses, and interference with the privacy of the home; a thing repugnant to all free men. Registration of mui-tsai will not prevent their maltreatment any more than registration of shop-fokis will prevent thefts and embezzlements. Rather than have this registration law imposed on them, the employers of mui-tsai would sooner give them up at once, either to the Government or to such institutions as the Government would name. This would mean that the Government has to provide accommodation and find employment for the mui-tsai, of whom there are about ten thousand in the Colony. As a correspondent to the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce has said, there are unfortunately very few foundling houses in Hong Kong or in China, and so the present homes of the mui-tsai constitute a sort of foundling houses for them; otherwise, a large number of them would have been drowned by their parents or starved to death.\n\nHong Kong is so bound up with Canton, geographically and economically, that to stop the employment of mui-tsai after the Bill becomes law as prescribed by clause 4 would be impracticable unless China acts likewise. I am of the humble opinion that no real improvement of any time-honoured social custom can be effected by sudden and violent change. The mui-tsai system has been in existence for thousands of years, having grown up under the economic conditions of life. The wide publicity that has recently been given to the question should help materially to bring about the attainment of this object. The best method to this end would seem to be a gradual and careful education of public opinion.",

One has naturally had in mind the provisions of the draft scheme for the Unification of the Colonial Administrative Service in going through them, and it would be well if it were possible to delay any decision on their introduction as new Leave and Passage Regulations for which existing officers may opt and which will be applied to new officers, until the forthcoming Circular goes out with the Colonial Administrative Service Scheme.\n\nThe C.A.S. Scheme treats the period of leave as being exclusive of the journey to and from the Colony, and on that basis stipulates a minimum ratio of 4 days' leave for each month of service.\n\nThese Hong Kong Regulations maintain the existing Hong Kong system of including the period of the voyage in the period of leave on that basis (see paragraph 4), and they fall short (see paragraph 11 (1)) of the minimum stipulated in the C.A.S. Scheme.\n\nThe limitation (see paragraph 11 (2)) to five months of the period of leave which can be taken on retirement is in accordance with the general principles of the leave system in the Eastern Colonies, but it does not accord with the principles of the C.A.S. Scheme, which would make no part of the leave dependent on the officer's returning for further service, but would allow him on retirement the full amount earned by his last tour of resident service.\n\nThe",

        "content_text": "Smith, one of the trustees of the will. The Letters of Administration were not registered against the title in the Land Office and since that date none of the representatives of the lessees seem to have concerned themselves with the property in any way.\n\n7. The buildings appear to have been erected by public subscription, commencing in 1865, each individual, firm or corporation subscribing $100 received a so-called \"ordinary share\", and 216 of such \"shares\" of a total nominal value of $21,600 were issued to 61 \"shareholders\". As the building proceeded it was found that the sum subscribed was insufficient and Sir Robert Jardine, whose firm held fifteen \"ordinary shares\" appears then to have subscribed $50,000 and to have received 105 so-called \"preference shares\" of various denominations but totaling $50,000.\n\n8. If these \"shareholders\" are to be regarded as an association for the purpose of carrying on any business having for its object the acquisition of gain by its individual members it will be illegal under the Companies Ordinances of 1865 and 1911. No interest or return has ever been paid, however, to the holders of any of these shares, the whole income, supplemented by occasional government grants, having been devoted to the upkeep and improvement of the building, with the exception of a small reserve fund which now amounts to about $4,000.\n\n9. The buildings have been managed hitherto by a committee which appears to have been elected by the original subscribers with power to add to its number. None of those originally elected remain, the present members having been co-opted as occasion arose. The senior member in Hong Kong of the firm of Jardine, Matheson & Co. is chairman of the committee.\n\n10. The buildings consist of a theatre on the western portion of the lot and of certain halls and rooms on two floors on the eastern portion. Those on the upper floor have been used for halls, receptions and meetings and those on the lower floor for a free library and museum, and latterly also as a Y.M.C.A. Club for the Naval, Military and Air Forces.\n\n11. The buildings are old and the committee are now faced with the problem of having to spend a sum of money far in excess of any that they are in a position to command to modernise them and to put them into a proper state of repair and of safety against fire or into the state required by law for buildings to which the public have access. They have therefore closed the premises and it becomes necessary for the Government to intervene.\n\n12. In all the circumstances of the case it is considered better for the Government to resume possession of the property by means of an ad hoc Ordinance rather than to proceed under the powers reserved by the Crown Lease.\n\n13. It is not the intention of the Government to re-erect a City Hall on this site, part of which will be sold and part developed to accord with a general scheme of town planning; but as a part of that scheme it is the intention of the Government to make provision for public amenities of the kind hitherto provided by the Committee of the City Hall.\n\nC.

RAE SHERRIFFS\n\nTHORAX.\n\nThe Behind the head area of the cephalothorax follows the thoracic part, often marked dorsally by a distinct median groove (fovea) or pit, bearing laterally four pairs of legs and ventrally the stout breast plate (sternum).\n\nThere is no easily made out mouth for the food is liquid. The mouth lies at the base of the pedipalps. The opening, which is purely sucking, is bounded by small hard plates acting as lips. The flesh of the victim is lacerated and held close to the mouth by the mouth's parts, and the juices are then sucked inside.\n\nEach spider leg consists of seven joints: coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, metatarsus, and tarsus, which end in two or three claws that are sometimes beautifully fashioned like tiny combs with minute teeth. It is these delicate instruments that enable the owner to hold on so easily to her silken web and also to grasp and manipulate the threads as she spins them in making her web. The relative length of the four legs is also important in classification. The formula 1423 means that the first pair of legs is the largest and the third is the shortest. Today, systematists lay great stress on the number and arrangement of the small spines found on the different joints of the legs. A special formula is employed for them.\n\nABDOMEN.\n\nThis second main piece of the spider's body is frequently the larger and dorsally is often marked by some pretty pattern. The shape varies enormously from globular to almost brick-like. Ventrally, some very important openings occur. Since there is no segmentation, the abdomen differs entirely from that of the insect, and there are no definite transverse rings. About one-third down its length, the abdomen has across it, in line, three distinct parts, viz: a central female genital opening, more or less covered and concealed by a genital plate (epigyne), and, on either side of this, the openings (stigmata) leading to the breathing organs (\"lung-books\"). Though usually thus named, the respiratory organs are better styled \"book-lungs\" for they are breathing organs and certainly not books! The book-lung area may be sometimes lighter in colour than the surrounding parts because of the enclosed air.\n\nAbout another third down the median line of the abdomen, there may be present a single opening, the tracheal opening (spiracle) leading to branching respiratory tubes (tracheae) so characteristic of the insect. All true spiders have, as breathing organs, both book-lungs and tracheae, one pair of each.\n\nAlso, in the middle line and occupying roughly the final third of the abdomen comes the bunch of spinning organs (spinnerets) through small holes in which the liquid silk issues from the silk glands within.\n\nThese spinnerets are found only in spiders. In fact, the word spider means the spinner. These spinnerets are modified abdominal limbs and usually number 6, three pairs termed fore, mid, and hind.\n\nAll spiders, both male and female, produce silk from their silk glands through the spinnerets. Though all spiders yield silk, not all spiders make webs with their silk. Different kinds of silk are manufactured and sent forth as a liquid that dries very quickly in contact with the air. One kind of silk is employed in constructing the main lines of the web. These radiate from the centre of an orb web and are not sticky. A second kind of silk is used for the viscid spiral lines of the web on which the flies stick fast. Yet still another kind of silk forms the cocoon that the mother spider weaves round the egg-mass to protect the contained ova.\n\nCuriously enough, the biggest and most conspicuous spinnerets are not found on those spiders that spin the most beautiful snares. Lastly, behind the spinnerets, also in the middle line of the abdomen, is the anal tubercle on which opens the hind end of the food canal.\n\nAmong the spiders sent to me from Hong Kong by Dr. Herklots were many specimens of a large Nephila.* It is convenient, therefore, to take this very handsome spider as the type by means of figures of which we can illustrate all the external features as enumerated in this paper. Figure 1. Nephila is a veritable giant among spiders, for when full-grown, her body measures about 5 cm. long and 2 cm. thick. Her leg span is some 15 cm. Her great web of strong yellow silk is well known in jungles during the rains when the spider reaches maturity. Nephila shows very beautifully sexual dimorphism in spiders, for the male is quite a dwarf compared with his formidable mate, who is at least one hundred times his weight! In fact, we can roughly compare the relative sizes of the sexes here to a man six feet high mated to a wife as big as a church steeple! The so-called dwarf or pigmy male contrasts strongly both in size and in colour with his relatively enormous consort, for he is a minute reddish-brown slender spider with conspicuous palpal organs. He is commonly seen living at a respectful distance from his gigantic partner on the outer edge of the great web at the centre of which the female reigns.\n\nAfter our description of the external features of a spider, there naturally arises the question \"What is a spider?\" In the old days—when\n\nNephila maculata.

Such special leave was, as stated in Sir Thomas Southorn's despatch, automatically deducted from the officer's resident service qualifying for further leave and added to his account of half pay leave taken.\n\n3. With the abolition of ordinary half pay leave in the case of those officers who have elected to come under the new leave regulations (copies of which were forwarded to you in Sir Thomas Southorn's despatch No. 379 of 9th August, 1932) this method of meeting this contingency is no longer available as no half pay leave which might be used to repay the loan is ordinarily earned.\n\n4. It is observed from the cases of certain officers who have recently applied to you for an extension of leave that where full pay leave is available such leave has been granted as in the case of Miss A.E.E. Steele, School Mistress, (your despatch No.170 of 9th May, 1933) but where \n\n**THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER, G.B.E., M.C., M.P., &C., &C., &c.**",

        "content_text": "HONG KONG SPIDERS.\n\nII.\n\nBy W. RAE SHERRIFFS.\n\nProfessor OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, SOUTHAMPTON.\n\nFamily ARGIOPIDAE (continued).\n\nGenus ARANEUS, Clerck (cf. H.K.N. V., p. 88.).\n\n5. Araneus mitificus, Simon.\n\nFirst described by Simon in \"Ann. Soc. Linn. Bordeaux.\" xi, p. 150 (1886) as Epeïra mitifica.\n\nThorell in his 'Primo Saggio Sui Ragni Birmani' Genova 1887 p. 187 describes this species fully in Latin as Epeira mitifica. Workman figures it in his 'Malaysian Spiders,' 1896.\n\nIt is, when alive, a beautiful small green spider with the abdomen dorsally yellowish grey or fawn and prettily marked with characteristic black spots of which there is a large transverse procurved one (bean shaped) at the top end and four much smaller ones at the hind end (see figure).\n\nI have found this spider within the city of Madras and also on the Nilgiri Hills at Kotagiri. It has been reported also from Poona and Konkan in India and from Singapore. The snare is said to measure 4\"-5\" diameter and to have one free segment with a line from it.\n\nThe spider is usually resting on a leaf of the hedge under a light silk tunnel with the orb web close by. It then rushes out whenever a fly alights on the web. In the Nilgiris I have taken it frequently from Lantana and other bushes.\n\nFrom Hong Kong this spider has been collected, one female only from the Peak.\n\nGenus ARGIOPE, Savigny 1827.\n\n6. Argiope aemula, Walck.\n\nFirst described by Walckenaer in his \"Histoire Naturelle des Insectes Apteres\" Paris 1837 as Epeïra aemula.\n\nThorell gives the Latin description in his \"Ragni di Selebes\" p. 24 Genoa 1877 and Pocock very briefly in English in his \"Arachnida\" (Fauna of British India series) 1900 p. 223.\n\nThe genus Argiope has given its name to the huge family to which the preceding spiders have all belonged. The cephalothorax is flat; ocular quadrangle much longer than wide: eyes of posterior line very strongly procurved, the medians being far behind the laterals: abdomen truncate in front, swollen and with or without caudal processes and large lateral lobes.\n\nThe females are usually spiders of large size (10-20 mm. long) generally very beautifully marked and coloured in white, silver or gold. The sternum is usually black with a distinct median longitudinal line in white, yellow or orange.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n24",

The dorsal pattern consists of transverse black lines with broader pale bands intervening.\n\nThe webs of the different species of Argiope are orbs without a conducting thread.\n\nThe female always remains at the centre resting on a characteristic white stabilimentum which is X-shaped. The long legs of the spider stretch out with one pair to each arm of the X. Pocock considers that the white ribbons of the stabilimentum conceal the spider's limbs from flies and from marauding wasps. It seems to me, however, that they serve rather as a background which shows up the spider's legs. The white silk may attract flies but the ribbons are essentially a support for the spider's body. That the spider is quite easily seen thus resting during the day by an enemy is proved by their being picked off their web by birds. In Madras in my own compound I have watched a Mynah (Acridotheres tristis), an Indian starling, deliberately walk up to the web in full daylight and find a juicy mouthful in the unfortunate owner. The spider in this case was the common South Indian species anasuja, Thor.\n\nW.R.S\n\nThe South Indian Argiope anasuja to show the female spider dorsally on her web with a fly, trussed up in silk, in her jaws.

        "content_text": "Hong Kong Spiders \n\n99 \n\nThe young Argiopes, immature females, make a small web which has at first no proper stabilimentum but only a lacework of stronger threads at the centre, \n\nThe mature female of anasuja always rested at the centre of the web head downwards. When alarmed she used to raise her body outwards from the web and then suddenly pop through the opening right at the centre of the web within the X of the ribbons to the other side. \n\nThe male Argiope is much smaller than his mate (4 mm.) and very inconspicuous, being only a plain purple brown in colour. He is found usually on the edge of the big web or on a tiny web of his own near by. \n\nArgiope aemula was originally described by Walckenaer from the Celebes. It has been obtained since from Burma, Ceylon, different parts of India, Nicobar Isles and Malaysia. The genus is widespread in the Tropics and sub-Tropics with the headquarters in Malaya and Oceania from which some 40 species have been identified. One species is European and another Canadian. Several species have a very wide distribution such as the type A. lobata Pallas which extends from a great part of Africa through \n\nCentral Asia to India. \n\nThe genus is easily recognised by the white X on the web and again by the richness of the livery. \n\nWithin Hong Kong A. aemula has been taken at the Peak, Tai O and Aberdeen. \n\nGenus ARANEUS, Clerck 1757. \n\n7. Araneus de Haanii Dol. \n\nFirst described by Doleschall in \"Verh. Nat. Vereen. Neder. Ind. V. p. 33 (1859). Thorell in 'Ragni Birmani' p. 178 (1887) gives the synonymy under Epeira. Pocock in his 'Arachnida' p. 225 gives a brief description and a figure. \n\nThe species de haanii is a large type of Araneus, the mature female reaching a length of one inch (25 mm.) \n\nIn colour the cephalothorax is reddish and covered with white hairs; legs and palps red; abdomen yellow brown generally with darker mottled areas below, dark brown in front of shoulder points and again below the terminal point. There is a large conical tubercle over each pair of lateral eyes. Abdomen is triangular in outline with two distinct sharp shoulder points in front and a median terminal one. There is a very strong scape to the vulva. Workman figures the species in his \"Malaysian Spiders.\" From the specimens I have examined, the colour markings seem to be most variable for in some cases there is a dark brownish mark on the abdomen dorsally arching across from the two shoulder points then extending downwards to the point at the tip; the front and sides round this patch being yellowish. \n\nThe web is said by Workman to be vertical and from 20′′-24′′ across with a line reaching to the spider's resting place under a leaf. \n\nJuly 1935- \n\n27",

        "content_text": "28\n\n100\n\nW. RAE SHERRIFFS\n\nThe Hong Kong specimens came from (1) Kowloon City and (2) Shau-ki-wan and were both captured in August 1931.\n\nThis species has a wide distribution in the East Indies viz;- whole of Malaya, Sumatra, New Guinea, Burma, Ceylon and India. Not unnaturally therefore there are several synonyms, cf. bogoriensis, submucronata and Khandarensis.\n\nThe male is much smaller than the female and was described by Thorell under the name of Epeïra caestata (1890).\n\nFamily THERIDIIDAE.\n\nGenus ARGYRODES, Simon 1864.\n\n8. Argyrodes fissifrons, O. Pickard-Cambridge.\n\nFirst described in \"The Journal of the Linnean Society\" Zool. X, p. 380 (1869).\n\nThe genus Argyrodes includes a number of small so-called parasitic spiders because they live on the big webs of other larger spiders such as Nephila, Cyrtophora, Psechrus, etc. These spiders were first noticed by Dr. Vinson in the Island of Reunion and described in his \"Araneides des Iles de la Reunion, Maurice et Madagascar\" 1863 pp. 268-276. He first noticed their small webs placed between the strands of the large web and found them eating the young of another species.\n\nThese parasitic spiders evidently escape the notice of the bigger spider and take food that she finds too small to bother with. Vinson called his first species Linyphia parasitica.\n\nThe species fissifrons derives its name from the male where the fore part of the head is prominent and divided horizontally by a deep fissure into 2 lobes, the lower one being the stronger. Both lobes have strong, prominent hairs on them, but especially the upper one. In spirit specimen the colours are as follows:- cephalothorax yellow brown: legs of same colour with darker bands and not very hairy: abdomen oblong rounded in front and produced behind over the spinnerets which are prominent. Abdomen dorsally is pale yellow brown with two longitudinal silvery lines meeting behind; these lines branch at the sides and become margined with deep red brown approaching black. Both sexes have the same colourings and the abdomen may have scattered silvery spots in addition to the lines. Tip of abdomen in the female is distinctly pointed as compared with the projecting bluff end in the male. She has not the deep cleft in the head so characteristic of the male. The female has a characteristic dark brown spot on the tip of the abdomen and another of the same kind and size low down behind the spinnerets.\n\nThe female measures 5 mm. long and the male about the same. The cocoon containing the eggs has a characteristic shape like a pear or globular with a blunt tip downwards: at the top end there is a long stalk which divides at its upper end into two diverging branches which attach the cocoon to the strands of the big web of the host (see figure).\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

Grantham (see the record at (11) on this file) and it occurs to me that the Secretary of State might be interested to see the Governor's despatch at (13), the enclosure to which sets out a list of the principal activities undertaken in Hong Kong by the Social Welfare Office, and the present draft which answers that despatch which was submitted to the Reports Sub-Committee of the Social Welfare Advisory Committee, and includes their comments on it.\n\nI think the Sub-Committee's conclusion that they were impressed by the great amount of work which is being done in difficult circumstances is a very fair summary of the position in this matter in Hong Kong.\n\n6.8.8.16/0\n\nlead prosed\n\nJr.\n\n98°\n\n22. 2. 1951.\n\n13/3\n\nweb\n\napproval R 16/3157",
