        "content_text": "dmira \n\nto allow any reductions; partiality will be displayed, or if not actually displayed people will say so, and there would be a consequent discontent. If any reductions are made, some unreasonable selfish men will think they have claims to abatement, when in point of fact they have not the slightest, and the result will be pretty general dissatisfaction.\n\nIt may be questioned whether it is not politic to reduce all the rents—taking 25 to 50 per cent from the whole of them—and offering the unsold land on the same terms in order to encourage settlers. But we doubt whether this would answer immediately; for some years a shortcoming would result, and if we must pay the civil establishment, taxes would be levied on articles of consumption. The land rates will not deter merchants from building, if the place offers other advantages; many of them do all their business in Canton, and a house at Macao or Hongkong is a mere luxury to them, not an essential. If driven from Canton, they must settle down in Hongkong like a hive of bees; £50 more or less of rent will not have the slightest influence. It is much the same with the Chinese; our suicidal law ordinances, our petty monopolies of articles of traffic, the corruption of the police, and the arbitrary disposition of the government, were the means of driving many decent people away, and deterred others from settling. They had no confidence in the government, nor will they feel secure from oppression until some of our old officials are removed. Sir John Davis is gone; but his evil advisers are still here, their presence has a worse effect, as regards the Chinese, than the land rents.\n\nAs a financial scheme reduction would be a dangerous experiment at present; five years ago the colony was in a better position, and we are inclined to think that with a liberal, just Executive, and sound commercial policy, it would then have succeeded. The people were harassed by local ordinances, and their trade crippled by the introduction of antiquated fiscal laws—monopolies, poll-taxes and a variety of other injudicious measures. The colony has somewhat improved no doubt, and would improve still more were the retail farms knocked on the head, but a reduction in ground rent will certainly take a heavy slice out of the revenue for years.\n\nWe read comparisons between the rate of land in Hongkong and the \"choicest and most exclusive sites in Mayfair.\" That the price is high for a new colony is unquestionable, but it is a mere trifle to what land sells for in large cities at home; it is not a third of the cost of good building allotments in Sydney N. S. Wales—a town of some sixty years' growth.\n\nIf our ground rent, and consequently house-rent is high, we are favoured in other ways. Our wines, our malt, our tea, coffee, sugar, tobacco and a number of articles of daily consumption are all untaxed. We have but one assess tax—a heavy one however—in England people have the pleasure of paying half a dozen. Ships pay neither port charges, light money, nor any of the imposts which are levied elsewhere. For the support of the government, commerce is not burdened in any one way (always excepting the retail monopolies), and take it all in all, if a local revenue must be raised, there is no fairer way than by putting it on the building ground. It thus falls upon everybody,—heaviest upon those who must keep up a genteel appearance on a limited income, and upon others who require expensive premises upon which they conduct a small business—but these are the people who grumble least. Englishmen in China have got into an expensive way of living; if they paid the government two or three shillings for every cork drawn at their sideboard, many of them would be less free with their wine—such will be the inevitable result of a serious reduction in the land rent. If people wish to live altogether free of taxation, they must seek the wilds of some barbarous country and associate with savages. Taxation is the price paid for civilization and no money is invested to greater advantage.\n\nOverland China Mail.\n\nHONGKONG, THURSDAY, 29TH NOVEMBER, 1849.\n\nBIRTH.

We presume the purchaser was not aware of the circumstance, as he has since considerately determined, for the poor man's sake, to forfeit his deposit and allow the Lot to be resold, when it will probably be knocked down at the upset price, unless competed for in a friendly way.",

Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination.

Her owner hearing of this in Macao came over to get all the information he could and reported the same to the Police on the 18th, but as he then knew not where his Lorcha was taken to by the Pirates, of course nothing could have been done to recover the same.\n\nHe went back to Macao and arrived there on the 28th where he learned all the particulars of the capture of his Lorcha by ...\n\nsterious circumstances--but perhaps by relating the same it will speak for itself, and bring to light the case of the Lorcha No. 71 above mentioned.\n\nOn the evening of the 27th January the Portuguese ...\n\n1--Par.

PEEL AND THE FOREIGN PRESS. The French papers are much amused with Sir Robert Peel's speech, and give copious extracts from it, together with translations from the comments of the London journals. The Assemblée of Saturday devotes an article of four columns to the matter, but it is only remarkable for the feeble attempts made to translate the Yankee expression \"soft sawder.\" The redacteurs of the Assemblée, who probably put their heads together and consulted their dictionaries, give the result of their learned researches in the following note:-*** It is all soft sawder, an expression more American than English, and one which it is impossible to translate literally, sawder' leans a sawyer who handles his saw lazily, and does but little work. A 'soft sawder' is what, in the language of working people, is called un lambin, un grande iche, une poule mouillée.\" Having by this lexicographical process obtained a choice of epithets, the Assemblée selects lambin as the most appropriate, and nervously in the text of the article it is represented that Sir Robert Peel, instead of saying that the grand duke's frankness and cordiality was all \"soft sawder,\" called him a \"great drené\" (lambin.)\n\nIn the matter of the Asiatic Marine Insurance Office. NOTICE is hereby given that by an Order of this Court the shareholders of the said\n\nASIATIC MARINE INSURANCE OFFICE\n\nare required to pay the further sum of Company's Rupees Two thousand\n\non or before the following dates, that is to say the shareholders resident in Calcutta or the suburbs on or before the tenth day of March next, the shareholders resident in Hongkong and Bombay on or before the tenth day of May next, and the shareholders resident in Great Britain and all other places not mentioned in the said Order on or before the first day of August next. And in default thereof the defauling shareholders be adjudged to have committed an Act of Insolvency according to the provisions of the Indian Insolvent Act.\n\nDENMAN, HATCH, & DAVIS. Attorneys for the Official Assignee.\n\nBARRERS Fresh GALLEGO FLOUR, revolved\n\nthe late writer on the brain, says, in a late clinical lecture on the frightful and formidable malady, softening of the brain, would caution you a student to rest, from excessive use of tobacco and smoking, and I would advise you to disabuse your patient's mind of the idea that it is harmless. I have had a large experience of brain disease, and I am satisfied now that smoking is a most noxious habit. I know of no one other cause or agent that so much tends to bring on functional disease, and through this, in the end, to lead to organic disease of the brain, as excessive use of tobacco,”—Dublin Medical Press.\n\nTHOMAS HUNT & Co., Hongkong, March 26, 1857.\n\nFOR SALE.\n\nTHE undersigned has this day established himself as Shipping Agent at this port, in conjunction with PALMER, 3, 10 AM YAN DER HOEVEN of Canton, under the Firm of VAN DER HOEVEN & KOP.\n\nA.

Let the owners of water pay 3 cash per load for the water man's wages.\n\nFire—Hongkong ought to put up a reward or prize for any who shall seize a water or miscreant in any Mandarine's employment; and when masters of these shall be convicted under evidence, let a reward of hundred dollars be given to the informer.\n\nAlso, should any shop or dwelling house for want of care allow fire to kindle, let the offender be taken up and receive a thrashing of one hundred blows, made to carry it for three months correction, for not being careful against fire and the sin of involving others. Thus by the establishment of such a rule, men would certainly be careful against the grievous accident with catching animosity.\n\nBarbarians—At present the Mandarines of China have laid an embargo on Hongkong—prohibiting intercourse. Vessels going and passing boats from the neighboring places around perhaps come, perhaps not; perhaps several unite in coming together, to guard against the sea pirates they thus unite. Now the Mandarines have put out a proclamation prohibiting the Chinese from coming to Hongkong, but permitting their return home. We hear it stated that the Mandarines have thus fixed the time to the 1st month of next year—February 1857—before which none are to go or come; if they do they are to be seized as transgressors, and dealt with accordingly. Now although the hoted time has not arrived, still all the vessels that arrive at Hongkong, whether from city or village, should be carefully examined by some trusty conductor of a government boat, as to their business, whence from, name and surname, their age and appearance, and where they intended going in Hongkong; of which write in a book by which there will be a means of examining into the matter. Also, let each vessel examined for soldiers, implements of war, or other suspicious instruments. Examine the oven on board, whether they have anything suspicious in their appearance, and search their persons to see if they have any daggers about them, or any traitorous letters or clues of wicked devices, instantly examining everything on board, after which allow them to go on shore. As the present is a time of war, if there are traitors among the people of Hongkong, many of them rebels taking refuge; besides the men without employment will be many, poor and it is difficult for these to accept to any other occupation. The thieves, though numerous, will be found willing to observe the Laws, and will certainly not be the disturbers of the peace. Their machinations are at war, and it will be found exceeding difficult to effect a translation—apparently the subtle proclamation broadcast over the English were to select a crew of sturdy lads among those who frequent the brothels dispersed over the City. These are principally boasted above spies. Whichever is virtuous, without reference to his claracter, enrolling him as an assistant with $7, $5, $3, implements, the patriotic and bold, and act in unison leader, as actor, may take lodgings in them. No. suppose at and finds; for certain there are such among these, the same time was set above state everywhere capable of leading forward the past to the conquest where there are prostitutes, as the sign.

Suppose the Mandarines and gentry should secretly and in concert at a given time to set fire to the prostitutes' houses, poison the wells, and make an united attack both from the kind and out.\n\nMoreover, they would break the Embargo, placed on Hongkong and also in cutting off supplies, we fear all the dire that like an hell become a reality.\n\n| Jan.

The Governor further der the existence of that great sean-dal and discontent\" at the Gourmt policy, which the commiuse assert to prevail \"here and on the of China.\" That policy was inaugurated with the unanimous approval of the Executive and Legis lative Councils. It has been for a series of years a measure favoured by the local experience of each governor and his advisers. It has now been removed from the region of mere speculation and experiment, and proves that it is possible by its agency to suppress the gross evils inseparable from illegal gambling dens of iniquity. Moreover, the \"scandal and discontent\" are each comparatively limited, as well in duration as extent, for here they are chiefly but recently generated by the reaction of an agitation maintained in England by well meaning persons, ignorant of the circumstances which have produced and which justify that policy. Such ignorance is perhaps natural, but the com-parisons of Hong Kong with Heligoland and Baden most forcibly and aptly illustrate the unfounded inferences to which it leads.\n\n24. Therefore unless by direct command of Her Majesty's Govern-ment, with which the responsibility of the change would then rest, his Excellency is not prepared to abandon the important results already obtained for any mere sentimental objection, or because irrepressibly arises from the policy, by which on the whole the greatest revenue still good can be effected. He would personally be delighted to get rid of that revenue if the committee would only make some practicable sug-gestion enabling him to do so without stcrifieing the power which he now has over the licensees, and which as yet he sees no safe means of dispensing with.\n\n25. In conclusion, I have to state that his Excelleney is well aware he had no actual claim on the committee's attention, except to request their correction of a misstatement of a fact.

I a former letter I wrote you that the Finance Minister had rejected the claims put forward by Dutch merchants in Japan for compensation for losses arising out of the late hostilities which the Allied l'owers were engaged with Japan, They, however, wi not content with this decision, and a second endeavour has been made course by their influence, in the Second Chamber of the States General obtain a grant of compensation. The members dealing with the th chapter (Foreign Affairs), Messrs. Heydenryck, Pynappel, and Vird Verbrugge, proposed as an amendment to grant a sum of 8.44.757.84 State Commission appointed to examine the claims. The mercha the applicants. This amount was just half the sum proposed by supported this amendment by an alldress, in which they again ondea-veured to prove the justice of their claims. The motion gave rise to a very lengthened debate. Mr. Heydenryck, in order to elucidate the grounds of the proposal, referred to the large number of documents rela-five to the matter, and said that the State ought not to absorb the entire Casembroot gave his opinion that since the King had approved the rejec profit of the indemnification paid by the Japanese Government. Mr. de tion of these claims, the question was at an end. He was astonished at the proposal being made again, but now that it was doce he also had an' amendment to make, which was to grant a sum of 25,000, en hebulf of expedition, and which is now invalided. Mr. Gratana demonstrated that. the Royal Navy, especially for the division which took part in the said\n\nHe opposed the grant, and preferred to support the amendment of Mr. de the traders ought to claim compensation of the Japanese Government\n\nMr. Heyden yek. He said that there was no lawful ground upon which Casembroot. Mr. Godefroi also declared himself against the motion of the State could be called upon to indemnify these traders. Mr.Van Voort-huyzen disapproved of the proposal on the grounds that our traders not put forward any claim of a similar nature. Mr. V. A. Linden said transporting their merchandise to China, which involved costs, for which that the traders had acted against the advice of the English admiral, by they now sought compensation. Several other members also took part in the discussion, and the result was the rejection of Mr. de Casembrout's motion by 46 against 18 votes, and that of Mr. Pynappel, C.S., by 53 against 11 votes, which I think will bet the affair finally at rest. discussion of the budget. Mr. Van Delden said that Holland vught not Another question with regard to Japan was brought forward during the be represented there by an ambasador but by a consul-general. He finished his speech with a philippid against Mr. Polsbroek, which was replied to by Mr. de Casembroot, who demonstrated the necessity that a diplomatic mission should remalu in Japan, and that the chef\" ought to bear the title of minister. After the reply the matter dropped. From again denied the existence of any foundation for the rumours which were the further discussions I only find that the Minister of Foreign Affairs set in circulation, respecting negotiations between Bolland and France to establish a commercial and military convention. Such negotiations the Minister declared bad never taken place, and he stated further that we were on the most friendly terms with all the Powers.\n\nNow that the Prassian Consulates in China have been transformed into German Federal ones, and the salary of the Consul-General in China is transferred to the budget of the Confederation, it has become needful to place on the special Prussian estimates the sums required for the salary of the Envoy at Feking (who has hitherto received the salary of the Con-sul-General), and those of the other officials of the bassy. These will now tigare among the expenses of the Foreign Department, and of course are subject to the approbation and consent of the House of Representa-tives; but when the question is brought forward it will no doubt be a matter for the consideration of the members whether it is expedient to have in future a specifically Prussian Legation at Peking, in addition to the Federal German Consulates already existing in other parts of the Chinese dominions. The subject will probably give rise to an interesting debate, and meet with some opposition, as in the face of the serious deficit in the revenue, great economy is required to make things straight again, and there will be but little inclination to increase the burdens of the tax-payers in Prussia by the creation of new and superfinous appointments, the salaries of which might easily be shifted to the Federal Budget, and be borne by all the twenty-two States composing the North German Confederation in proportion to their population, the more so as the sub-had no more right than the English, French, and Americans, who had jects of all of them are placed under the protection of the Ambassador, be be called Prussian or Federal. Whed the subject was discussed in the last session of the German Parliament, on the occasion of voting the estimates for the Federal budget, it appeared as if the Prussian Govern ment wished to retain the Embassy in China as a Prussian establishment, and of course the members of the Federal Parliament made no opposition, heing only too glad to escape being addled with the payment of the salaries, whilst their fellow-subjects in China enjoyed the same protection as the Prussians. It is now a subject between the Prussian Government and their own Parliament, and simply almoney question; for the appoint-to ment of the Ambassador and the patronage of the inferior offices is placed in both cases in the hands of the King of Prussia, either in bis capacity of sovereign or as President of the North German Confederation. The Germanic Lloyd's,\" established last year for the classification of German shipping, have just published the first number of their Interna-tional Register, with an explanation in German and English of the abbreviations and signs used, as well as the tables for the measurement of shipping and the tarif of charges. It contains a list of the 273 merchant vessels that have hitherto been classified,\n\n&\n\nA strange story is related in a Bremen leval journal, announcing the return to that city of Captain Oldejan, of the Bremen ship Amulia, who bad not been heard of for several years and was supposed to be dead.

This, we presume, is not more the case as regards Ceylon than other countries. But as it is the Cinnamon Isle, as it was formerly called,—it should be the Coffee Isle now—with which we have at present to deal, a few words on the fallacies which generally prevail till the season closes will not be out of place.\n\nThe coffee crop of the past season was very deficient; like every other growing crop this one depends much on the weather, first at the blossoming and afterwards during the filling of the bean. A very good blossom may blow and set, exciting high hopes of a splendid crop, and yet too much wet immediately after setting may perish it, while too much drought may do the same.\n\nAgain, when the berry is filling, chiefly from June to August, a long drought may prevent the filling, and thereby greatly diminish the crop. A cursory observer, passing through a coffee district during the flowering time, seeing every plantation white with its jessamine blossoms, retires possessed with the impression that there are to be magnificent crops. This idea he hugs and believes because, as he thinks, he has seen the crop on the trees. Sad delusion! It must not only be fairly set, but the bean well filled, before a blossom can ever be reckoned on as safe.\n\nNow both the drawbacks above named—a loss of blossom from unseasonable weather in the spring, and a loss of crop from the failure of the monsoon rains in their season—have fallen to the lot of the Ceylon coffee planter this year, and of course he cannot help crying out.\n\nBut will any one believe him? No. The Colombo merchant first, and the London merchant afterwards, rebut the assertion, and think he is only crying \"wolf\" to suit his own purpose, and to force the market up—and they employ all their influence as a counter lever to press the market down.\n\nNo doubt there is a difficulty in arriving at a certain estimate of the crop of a country like Ceylon, where interests are so divided, dispersed, and detached; where also a considerable quantity of crop is raised by natives, some of whom keep no accounts, while others decline to supply the necessary information.\n\nTHE CASE OF THE \"DOLPHIN\" AT BANGKOK.\n\nTHE Government of the United States and its representatives have generally been so conciliatory and moderate in their intercourse with the nations with which we have relations in the Far East, that it is with no less surprise than regret that we observe the singular deviation from this principle in the case of the Dolphin.\n\nThis vessel, an American schooner, commanded by Captain T. S. ANDREWS, was detained by the Siamese Government in consequence of the non-payment of the firewood-tax, on entering the Patlak Cro-k.\n\nAfter careful perusal of the case, as reported in the Siam Advertiser, we are unable to come to any other conclusion than that the commander of the Dolphin wilfully disregarded the signals of the native tax-collector to stop.\n\nIn his evidence Captain ANDREWS says that he could not have stopped her because of her headway and the strength of the tide—a statement which contrasts strangely with the fact that the Siamese (only five or six in number) boarded her, and did actually stop her, and anchor her there and then.\n\nNo sort of violence seems to have been used on either side. Even Captain ANDREWS, who represents himself as being so very much aggrieved by the \"seizure of his ship, and who went on shore at once, \"intending to go to the United States Consul,\" did not carry out that reasonable intention, but stopped at a rice mill, from which he returned on board his own ship with two gentlemen and a lady!\n\nThus reinforced, Captain ANDREWS—this is his own statement—secured the officer who had boarded his vessel, and then went to his house and asked for his wife, who was, fortunately for her, from home.\n\nThis, as we have mentioned, is Captain ANDREWS's own statement. The charge against him, we should also state, was that he attempted to seize and carry off the officer, his wife, and children.\n\nThat he had recaptured his ship, which was seized for firewood-tax, was another and separate charge.\n\nIt is also matter of dispute whether the United States flag was flying on the schooner at the time she was summoned, and stopped.\n\nIt is however clear that no serious inconvenience was caused to anybody—though it is not explained why the wood-tax was not accounted for—and we are therefore greatly surprised to find that the United States Government should have despatched the corvette Iroquois to Siam for \"an explanation.\"\n\nOf course we all know what this means—and the Siamese Government, under pressure of this very convincing reason for giving way, tried the case, and condemned themselves, or their officials, to pay $100 to Captain ANDREWS who, we may presume, congratulates himself on a small triumph.\n\nSuch, however, we think our readers will agree not exceed 500,000 cwt., while others believed it would at least be 800,000 cwt.\n\nThe highest of these, however, would be still 200,000 cwt. below the average of the past five years, or just 20 per cent. But all were agreed that they would be short.\n\nStill it appears not to have been believed in London—for reports continued to come out to Ceylon, \"Large shipments from Brazil,\" \"Fall in Continental markets,\" \"Reduce limits,\" \"Price down 2s. to 3s.,\" &c., &c.\n\nNow this seems to be a species of short-sighted suicidal policy which always defeats its own end.\n\nThe season is finished now, and no doubt a good many fingers are itching for the profits that could have been made had they gone in boldly and bought at the market figures a few months ago.\n\nSo far back as August last, while the London market was being borne down, we warned buyers that the crop would soon close; and that we doubted then if it would exceed 750,000 cwt.\n\nThe commercial season ended on 30th September, and the total export did not exceed 758,000 cwt.! This is very nearly a quarter of a million hundredweights under the average production.\n\nOther coffee-producing countries were also proportionally short, as the following figures show:—\n\nBrazil deficiency ... 1,000,000 cwt.\n\nJava deficiency ... 800,000 cwt.\n\nCeylon deficiency... 250,000 cwt.\n\nTotal 2,050,000 cwt.\n\nThis is without reckoning India, which was also short. It is also irrespective of the West Indian colonies, which are likely to have suffered from the same influences as those that affected Brazil.\n\nThis is a lamentable deficiency, and the fact is deplorable as regards those who must be the chief sufferers—the growers of the article.\n\nIt is a fact, nevertheless, which must be looked in the face, and should be kept steadily in view by those who contemplate investing either in the produce in question, or in the description of property that yields it.\n\nThe removal of the duty in America, too, ought to advantage the grower and the exporter; for, although the abolition of that duty extends only to coffee imported in American bottoms, still America must have a certain quantity of coffee; and even if she import this quantity all from Brazil, and does not take an ounce of Ceylon coffee from Europe, whatever quantity she so receives, relieves the European market to that extent.\n\nWe understand that the appointment of Mr. ALBERT COATES, a partner in the firm of Messrs. KER and Co., as acting Consul at Manila, during the absence of Mr. Rickett, has been approved by the Foreign-office.\n\nThe Consulate at Saigon is still represented by Mr. HAUSCHILD, a partner in Messrs. W G. HALE and Co., and no appointment for a fixed paid Consul can be made, until the cost has been passed in the next estimates.\n\nAs the non-receipt at Brindisi of letters from England, often causes annoyance to passengers proceeding to the East by the Italian route, we think it well to notify that, although the India and China mail does not leave London until Friday evening, letters intended to catch passengers at Brindisi should be posted for the Wednesday evening mail.\n\n813\n\nIt need hardly be said that the British Colonies have never received any immigrants from Macao, but always obtained them, under proper restrictions, from Hong Kong or the Treaty ports.\n\nThe Macao traffic, although it promised to be one of the best correctives of the evils complained of, had to be abandoned, while the Macao traffic is still vigorously carried on.\n\nThe following fact illustrates the working of the immigration.\n\nOn the 4th of September last the steamship Exmore left British Guiana, with over 600 immigrants (including children) on board, returning to their native country, India or China.\n\nThey carried with them property in cash and jewellery, which, divided among the adults, shows an average of more than £50 sterling per head.\n\nNow these people came to the colony as indentured immigrants, and were employed in agricultural labour.\n\nWhen their first contracts ran out, they either re-engaged or employed themselves in other ways by which they could make money.\n\nAt the end of ten years the Indian coolies became entitled to a free return passage, and they went back, not destitute and miserable, as when they found themselves on board ship bound for the colony, but independent and manly in their bearing, and possessed of an amount of wealth that the English agricultural labourer rarely obtains after a whole lifetime of painful toil.\n\nThe British Consul at Havana writing on the subject says:—\n\nChinese labour has not been altogether a success in Cuba. On some small sugar estates, and among the tobacco-fields, the Chinese coolie does well enough; but he cannot work as hard as the negro, nor indeed as the Indian coolie used to work on Jamaica estates.\n\nMost of the Chinese brought to Cuba are at the lowest and feeblest type of the inferior races, such as swarm about Macao, Batavia, and Singapore, &c., and they are rarely of sinewy frame, nor much physical strength; nor have they the endurance of the Indian coolie.\n\nChinese immigration, as it is carried on here, is so faulty that it can never lead to a successful colonisation of Cuba.\n\nThe mistaken policy of the Government, as exhibited in the treatment of these colonists, must end in their refusal to come here.\n\nThe condition of obligatory and continuous servitude to which they are now subjected, if they desire to remain in Cuba, after the completion of their primitive contract, is tantamount to slavery; and it is contrary to common sense to suppose that free men will voluntarily submit to it.\n\nThe Chinese emigrant, therefore, to be induced to come here, must either do so in a fit of desperation, or he must be imposed upon; and a traffic which is based upon deceit, and which subjects him to life-long drudgery under the worst of systems, can scarcely be designated by any other name than that of Slave Trade.\n\nTHE Japanese Ambassadors with their suite, accompanied by General ALEXANDER, Sir HARRY PARKES, and Mr. ASTON, returned to London on the 9th, too late, however, for the banquet at Guildhall, to which they had been invited.\n\nThey will take their leave of Her MAJESTY next week, and leave for Paris, making a tour through France, and thence proceed to Germany and Russia.\n\nTHE report in China that the steamers of the Messageries Company were likely to call at Naples, on their way to Marseilles is incorrect; the statement that the steamers of this company and of the P. and O. Company would call at Nagasaki is also incorrect.\n\nThe Time-tables for 1873 will shortly be issued.\n\nADMIRAL DUPRE, Governor of Cochin China, who, as stated in our last issue, has left France on his return to Saigon, is the bearer of a letter from M. THIERS to the King of SIAM, in reply to the congratulations of the latter to the President of the Republic.\n\nVISCOUNT BRENIER DE MONTMORAND, formerly Consul-General for France at Shanghai, has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to Chili.\n\nTHE COOLIE TRADE.\n\nIt cannot be denied that proper regulations, which will prevent vagrancy, and which will organise labour, are absolutely necessary in Cuba, where there are labourers of distinct races and conditions; but these regulations should all have a decided tendency towards preparing these classes for speedy and complete emancipation.\n\nThe law of 28th June, 1870, does not hasten the freedom of the slaves in this island.\n\nIt virtually postpones emancipation for twenty-two years, and, in the meantime, it closes the door to any feasible arrangement for the introduction of free labourers.\n\nThe Chinese under contract here are, with, perhaps, a very few exceptions, treated pretty much as slaves, and with the compulsory engagements now before them, or the sorry alternative of seeking a home elsewhere, there can be no inducement for them to come here.\n\nIf they are treated in such a manner when everything should be done by the Spanish Government to further free emigration to Cuba, it would appear as if no means were left untried to render such emigration unpalatable and repulsive.\n\nBy the mail just received from the West Indies we have the account of another departure from Demerara of time-expired coolies.\n\nThe Rohilla, of London, was embarking 257 men, 79 women, 31 boys, 23 girls, 16 infants—total 406; Chinese, 21 men, 22 women, 6 boys, 6 girls, 3 infants—total 58; grand total, 464.\n\nThe money deposited by the coolies in the Immigration Office for transmission to Calcutta amounted to £47,642.64.\n\nBesides this there was the usual quantity of personal jewellery, amounting in value to a considerable sum.\n\nSIAM.\n\nTHE Committee of the Diplomatic and Consular Enquiry had before them for examination Mr. HENRY ALABASTER, who served for many years in the Consulate at Bangkok as Interpreter, Vice-Consul, and for a short time as Acting Consul, and in the latter capacity he so displeased the Foreign Office in his conduct towards the Siamese that he is now practically discharged from the service.\n\nThe Secretary of the West India Committee has addressed a letter to The Times, in which he says:—\n\nThe stoppage of Chinese immigration in 1866 requires a word of explanation.\n\nIt occurred, not because the Chinese Government withdrew its permission, or was dissatisfied with the treatment of the immigrants, but because it was induced to impose certain provisions which would have greatly increased the expense of the immigration.\n\nIn his evidence he states that the Staff at Bangkok is unnecessarily large, that a Consul, a Vice-Consul, at from £500 rising to £800, and one Assistant, at £250 rising to £400, would be a sufficient staff without Student Interpreters.\n\nThat a medical officer was not now necessary, although very essential in the early days of the Consulate.\n\nSir CHARLES DILKE, one of the Committee, asked:—\n\n1101\n\nNov. 18, 1872.\n\nTHE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.",

No. 2862, a Report on the damage sustained by trees, shrubs, &c., during the late typhoon.\n\n### GOVERNMENT GARDENS\n\nIn the gardens, the largest trees, as might have been expected, suffered the most severely. Several of the oldest and largest have been entirely destroyed, e.g., one of the two large \"Banians\" *Ficus retusa*, some Casuarinas, a few of the old trees of *Pinus sinensis* against the water tank, a fine Longan, a Tetranthera, a good tree of *Sophora Japonica*, and a few good *Poincianas regia*. Although these, some of the finest specimen individual trees, have been destroyed, the kinds are not lost to the gardens, as there are other specimens remaining of all those species. Many other specimens which were equally as fine as the above, although not destroyed, are severely damaged, lying on the ground. Many of the trees which have their branches broken off, but which have not had their roots broken or too severely strained, will, during the next year, produce other very vigorous branches and luxuriant foliage.\n\nOf the different Public buildings, not Government offices, the Cathedral seems to have fared well owing to its sheltered position against the irresistible power of the North-East wind. The Church was partially unroofed, as also was the Roman Catholic Cathedral. St. Joseph's Church in Garden Road was laid in ruins, two of its walls having been knocked down almost to the ground. The trees having nearly the whole of their branches broken off, or the trees themselves laid prostrate on the pediment of the City Hall, was blown over and completely crushed the front portico of that building.\n\nSome of the Barracks and other buildings belonging to the Military Authorities in the village of Stanley were blown down and are now, like the village itself, a heap of ruins.\n\nThe City presents altogether a truly distressing sight, and it will be a long time before it recovers its normal state.\n\nBut the typhoon has not been without its lessons, for it has shown us how inadequate to withstand the fury of the wind is the style of building which the Colony has adopted. It may, on the other hand, not without truth, be said that the occurrence of the 23rd was unprecedented in the history of Hongkong, and that its effects could not therefore have been provided against or mitigated.\n\nI will shortly have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, estimates of the cost of restoring the Public buildings to their former condition.\n\nNo time has, however, been lost in the work of re-roofing the more important buildings, lest a sudden storm of rain should increase the damage already done.\n\nThe Honorable J. GARDINER AUSTIN,\nColonial Secretary,\nHONGKONG.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\nJ. M. PRICE, Surveyor General.\n\nA considerable number of the smaller trees and shrubs are entirely destroyed by having been broken off at the ground; while others have been blown over and a great portion of their roots exposed to air and light to such an extent as to be inimical to their well-doing; many of their roots were also much lacerated, which will certainly much injure the health of the plants, although probably only in a few cases sufficiently to cause their deaths. Operations were at once commenced for the preservation of as many of the trees and shrubs as there was any prospect of saving, and the greater portion of them are now replanted and supported.\n\nThe effects of this typhoon will be apparent on the general appearance and health of the plants for many years; in many cases, the plants will never recover their former vigour during their existence. The continual straining and breakage both to roots and branches, which plants are subject to here in the numerous typhoons, will always prevent them being developed into such perfect specimens as are generally seen in gardens that are not visited by such terrific hurricanes.\n\nThe flowerpots containing plants in various parts of the gardens were broken in great numbers, but the plants themselves, excepting annuals, which can soon be replaced, although greatly disfigured, will in a little time recover their former appearances.\n\nIn the nurseries, the plants in pots have been considerably disturbed in the soil, and consequently lightly injured, but from this they will soon recover.\n\n### FOREST DEPARTMENT\n\nIn the streets and roads, a large number of fine and aged trees have been blown down or so much damaged as to necessitate their removal at once, which has been done. The localities in which trees have suffered most severely are in the part of Queen's Road near the Military Store Department, where the trees were very large; in Queen's Road at Spring Gardens, where about half a dozen fine trees were lost; in the Cricket Ground; one fine tree near the entrance to the City Hall; in Caine Road and Bonham Road; in Garden Road; and in the vicinity of the Government Offices. A large number of the younger trees have also been much loosened and blown down, which has injured the roots more or less, thus checking their growth for some time.\n\nA very ... \nI have observed that in nearly all cases where trees were blown down in the typhoon of September, 1871, and those trees were again set upright and have continued to grow up to the late typhoon, they have again fallen, and in several cases are this time entirely destroyed, thus proving, as a general rule, that when once a tree suffers so severely as to cause its prostration, little reliance can be placed on that tree ever afterwards continuing or becoming a round and healthy one.\n\nBowrington Compound.--Most of the largest trees here were blown down and a few of them broken off above or at the roots. All that showed any signs of life or prospect of recovery have been again set upright and supported, which will perhaps preserve them for a few years, until pine trees, which I purpose planting there next year, grow to some size. The greater portion of the compound exhibits signs of having been flooded with salt water, or perhaps a mixture of fresh and salt water, and if this is so, we may expect the trees to be still further injured, or their recovery retarded by the salt which must have been deposited in the soil.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\nCHARLES FORD, Superintendent Government Gardens.\n\nJ.

The greater portion of the compound exhibits signs of having been flooded with salt water, or perhaps a mixture of fresh and salt water, and if this is so, we may expect the trees to be still further injured, or their recovery retarded by the salt which must have been deposited in the soil.\n\nI have the honour to be,  \nSir,  \nYour most obedient Servant,  \nCHARLES FORD,  \nSuperintendent Government Gardens.\n\nJ. M. PRICE, Esq.,  \nSurveyor General.",

(Applause). \n\nWith regard to the Christian Brothers, I think there is no need of speaking of their ability in educating the young. I will only say that last year when I was in America, though I have always appreciated the Christian Brothers, I did not let the occasion pass without watching their works, and I must say I was astonished when I saw the immense amount of good which had been done by them in America. In all the principal cities of the United States, I was shown their magnificent schools, colleges, and academies in which they are authorized by the government to confer degrees to their pupils, where I heard them praised not only by Catholics but by all lovers of America. I met the Christian Brothers at Guayaquil in Ecuador and in Chili, they are doing wonders. While they are thoroughly able to impart solid education, you must not think that the lighter and serious subjects are neglected by them. They teach music and declamation, and today we shall have specimens of the boys' ability in that direction. If you look at the programme, you will find that we are to have music, declamation, and a little farce. I hope these things will amaze you and compensate you in some degree for the time I have taken up, again thanking you for your presence. \n\nTHE CATHOLIC REGISTER.

GOD SAVE THE Queen. \n\nWe are informed on good authority that the Japanese Government has appointed a Minister to the Court of St. James with legation in Lisbon. \n\nEXCELLENT the ADMINISTRATOR -My Lord Bishop, ladies, and gentlemen--In the first place, I must thank his Lordship Bishop Raimondi, and also Brother Cyprian for inviting me to be present at this ceremony-the annual distribution of prizes of St. Joseph's College. To the pupils, I have no doubt that this is the principal event of the year, and I have no doubt the parents of the boys look forward to it with equal anxiety, as it is an occasion which gives them an insight into the progress which their sons have made during the year, and what prizes they have won. I have listened with great interest to the description given by his Lordship, Bishop Raimondi, of the progress which has been made by the boys under the care of the Christian Brothers during the past year under great difficulties, as the school was being transferred from one building to another. I have also listened with much interest to the history I have heard of the great amount of good which has been done in this colony by the Christian Brothers, and I am sure their services are appreciated (applause). To Brother Cyprian and his assistants, who have during the past year done so much, I am sure that the praise which has been bestowed by the Bishop must have been very gratifying. It is sometimes a thankless task to impart education to the young, as boys do not always appreciate education, though they will repent not having done so in after years (applause). This is one of the two principal educational establishments of the colony, and therefore the Government takes great interest in its progress. Now that it is removed to this large building, I have no doubt that its sphere of usefulness will be considerably extended. There is, I see, a long programme to be gone through, and therefore I will not take up your time any longer, as I have no doubt it will be much more interesting to the audience than any remarks I could make.\n\nPage 501\n\nThe Macao Government have approved the project for the erection of a Church and College at the Island of Taipa. We are glad indeed to see that the Portuguese Government have at last returned to their old policy of civilizing the heathen, which made Portugal great in former centuries. \n\nA curious conflict has broken out between the Roumanian Church and the Greek Patriarch of Constantinople. The latter accuses the Metropolitan of Roumania and his flock of falling away from the \"orthodox\" belief and inclining to the Church of Rome. Among other reasons alleged are the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar, and the neglect of the custom of procuring the Holy Oil from the Patriarch. The Metropolitan and people are therefore threatened with anathema. Should the excommunication be fulminated, we shall be curious to see what course the Roumanians will adopt. \n\nWith your Lordship's permission, we will now proceed to the distribution of prizes. \n\nThe Independente of Macao, in its last issue, criticised at great length a small paragraph which appeared in our last number, sent by the Independente of the Macao press. We must confess that the Independente utterly failed in its criticism, which has done nothing less than confirm us in our belief that the mention of the Colonial Secretary in connection with the emigration affair has been avoided in order not to give offense in some quarters. We would simply ask if it is a fair sample of our Macao contemporary's independence, the virulent manner with which it has attacked the Colonial Secretary in almost all its issues, simply because De Corte-Real happens to be in strained relations with some public functionaries in Macao. We admit that the Colonial Secretary has a host of political enemies, as it is always the case when a man in power pursues a vigorous policy, but this is no reason for the Independente to attack that gentleman in such an unjustifiable way. We think every right-minded man will concur with us in supposing that the Independente is simply the mouthpiece of the disaffected public functionaries, and, as we are credibly informed, that paper has been resuscitated by them with the object of attacking ... \n\nUnder these circumstances, we must decline entering into any controversy whatever, and the question, as far as we are concerned, must therefore be dropped. \n\nWe learn that the Jesuit Fathers of St. Louis, Missouri, are to begin in the spring the erection of a magnificent new church and college in that city. The plans have been sent to Rome for approval, and it is expected that the church is to be on the plan of the great cathedral of Milan. College and church are to cost more than a million dollars --£250,000. \n\nAccording to the Bombay Gazette, the coffee plant is threatened with an enemy, just as the potato and the grape are. This enemy is a small and very rapidly growing fungus, which has already done great havoc among the coffee-plants of Ceylon, Java, and elsewhere. In the latter, the local Government has intervened, bought up the infected plantations, and burnt all the plants. \n\nThe great robbery of the treasure of the Church of St. Denis, in which the sacred vessels given by Francis I. and Louis XIV. and his successors, the crowns of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette, and--worst of all--a great relic of the True Cross, were carried off, turns out to have been committed by a wandering tribe of Bohemians or gipsies from Germany, called Rantocheills. It will probably not be difficult to trace such peculiar criminals, but we are sorry to see nothing about the recovery of the treasure. \n\nTHE Rt. Rev. Dom Antonio Joaquim de Medeiros, Bishop Elect of Thermopylae, and Coadjutor to His Grace the Archbishop of Goa, arrived in Bombay by the Australian Mail Steamer, Sultany, last Saturday morning. Shortly after the steamer dropped anchor, the Rev. Fathers J. L. Monteiro and N. Clarke, S. J., deputed respectively by the Archbishop of Goa and the Vicar-Apostolic of Bombay, with the Very Rev. the Portuguese Vicar General, the Vicar of Bandora, and the Vicar of Cavel went on board to receive His Lordship and accompany him to the residence of Bishop Morais, whose guest he has been during the week. At 5 o'clock yesterday evening, he embarked for Goa on board the Portuguese troopship India, which is to sail for that port early this morning. The date of His Lordship's consecration has not yet been definitively settled, but we believe the ceremony will take place at Goa soon after Easter. \n\nWe now have an authentic declaration that Mr. Darwin, whose praises have been sung by Bishops of the Church of England, and whose funeral was conducted as a religious ceremony, considered that he had no more a soul than a pig has. \"The controversy as to the exact nature of Darwin's religious belief, which has arisen from the publication of a reply sent by him to a German student, has brought forward Dr. Robert Lewins, who, writing to the Journal of Science, says: \"Before concluding, I may, without violation of any confidence, mention that, both viva voce and in writing, Mr. Darwin was much less reticent to myself than in his letter to Jona. For, in answer to the direct question I felt myself justified, some years since, in addressing to that immortal expert in biology as to the bearing of his researches on the existence of an anima or soul in man, he distinctly stated that, in his opinion, a vital or 'spiritual' principle, apart from inherent somatic energy, had no more locus standi in the human than in the other races of the animal kingdom--a conclusion that seems a mere corollary of, or indeed a position tantamount with, his essential doctrine of human and bestial identity of nature and genesis.\" Those are now the prophets of Israel--we have reached the lowest form of degradation. \n\nEdward Strauss has lately given a telephonic concert in Vienna. The satire orchestra of the Director of State Balls played in a room at a distance of 14 and 30 German miles (or some 60 and 130 English miles) respectively from the audiences. Four microphones were employed, and the music was heard quite clearly; even the tones of the flutes and stringed instruments being perfectly pure. \n\nChristmas at the Vatican has been unusually cheerful. The Pope has received a large number of letters from Sovereigns and great personages in various countries, couched in specially affectionate and cordial terms. An extraordinarily large number of presents has also reached the Vatican--money, articles of value, and vast quantities of eatables of all imaginable sorts. All the eatables were at once distributed among poor nuns, friars, and needy families. \n\nAs an example of the mutability of Anglicanism, scarcely any Anglican now remembers that, about thirty years ago, the Eastern Church was the grand ideal of High Churchmen. Cardinal Newman has just edited a book by Mr. Palmer, or rather, has written a preface to the book, in which he calls to mind the passionate yearning for communion which used to agitate High Churchmen towards Greek Churchmen. Poor Mr. Palmer is not alive; yet he devoted many years in trying to unite modern Anglicanism with that most effete of all schisms, the Greek Church. \"When I was a boy, the Holy Eastern Church was always spoken of as the oasis of Christendom; as that one only ideal in which primitive orthodoxy was united with modern freedom and National Churchism. Nobody now hears of the Greek Church! And the Greek Church hears as little of Anglicanism. I remember meeting Mr. Palmer in Rome, shortly after he entered the Catholic Church, and asking him whether he thought that the Holy Eastern Church had any yearning for communion with Anglicanism. He replied that the great difficulty which he had met with, in the days when he used to try to bring about the union, was that scarcely a member of the Greek Church knew what Anglicanism was, or had so much as heard of the Archbishop of Canterbury. \n\nA case of special interest to Catholics has recently been decided in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. A professing Catholic, named Denis Copper, had bought ground for a grave in the Catholic cemetery of Calvary. Subsequently, he became a Freemason, and died without being reconciled to the Church. The ecclesiastical authorities, therefore, took no part in the funeral, and refused to admit the body to the cemetery, on the ground that the deceased, by his own act, had separated himself from the Church, and had consequently lost all right to a Catholic burial. His heirs or representatives thereupon summoned the priest before the district Court, and pleaded the purchase of the ground, and the Court gave judgment in their favour, and ordered that the interment should take place. But, on appeal to the Supreme Court of the State, this judgment was reversed, and the Court confirmed the right of the authorities of the Church to enforce its discipline against those who had voluntarily submitted to it. Those, said Judge Barrett, who voluntarily quit it, or are expelled from it, lose all the rights conditional on belonging to it; that is a consequence which they must have foreseen when they entered the Church. And the essential rule of the Catholic Church is the submission of the faithful to their spiritual superiors. The Bien Public of Ghent, which records this case, contrasts the action of the American Court with that of the Belgian authorities in analogous cases, and remarks on the difference between the two.",

        "content_text": "503\n\n2\n\nPARIS.\n\n(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT).\n\nJanuary 13th, 1889,\n\nThe funeral of Gambetta, a village grocer's son, cast into the shade those of Louis XVIII, the last reigning monarch buried in France. The Second Empire buried ex-King Jerome with all the pomp and circumstance of soldiery, and interred in 1865, the duc de Morny with all administrative honors. In both ceremonies, soul was wanting: the people, the country, took no part. Gambetta's obsequies were an explosion of patriotism: the resurrection of 1870-71, with all its sufferings, its lessons, and its hopes.\n\nTHE CATHOLIC REGISTER.\n\nIt is proposed that the bottom of the vault be strewn with similar soil, coffin laid on a layer of soil several feet deep, as practiced in some states of America. Lafayette's remains were treated similarly.\n\nA kind of retrospective controversy is taking place respecting the cause of Gambetta's death. It belongs to legend, so let it rest there. Opinion considers the deceased, like poor Garfield, was over-doctored. Had the wound been dressed as ordinarily, the health maintained by salines, and the patient fairly dosed with proper salts, and kept on his feet, instead of being compelled to lie in bed, a favorite cure in France, he would be alive to-day. Perhaps his work was done: during his 4 years, he must have lived several lives. In his coffin, with the tricolor, for a martial cloak around him, he truly \"look'd like a warrior taking his rest.\"\n\nThe picture of the country mutilated, followed the hearse, in the symbols of Metz and Strasbourg: the hope of the country's future, was cheered in the deputations of the colleges and the schools. There was a striking unanimity in thus glorifying two epochs. It was a patriotic consolation, and exhibited France to be one and indivisible, that manifestation around the representative of its greatest symbol, and which so scrutinized and solemnized, the resistance of 1870-71.\n\nLet there be no mistake about the meaning and the moral of the funeral. The three millions of people, who came from every part of France, from every corner of Paris, to line the route of the cortège, did not arrive to honor the doctrines of Gambetta: to mark a new triumph for the republic, or the official recognition of free thought as one of the \"religions\"—a paradox, of the state: no, it was the apotheosis of patriotism superior to politics and religion, incarnated in the man of Prague, and not the chief of a party or the leader of a creed.\n\nRespecting the procession, it was a military fairy spectacle. In the words of Bossuet, the honors wanted in nothing, save him, to whom they were rendered. From the Palais Bourbon to the cemetery of Père Lachaise, is between three and four miles, and the procession starting at ten o'clock, arrived at half-past one; the rear of the cortège was at the Palais Bourbon when its head was at the cemetery. It was well organized. Along the route, the windows were filled, not with mourners, but curious onlookers; the crowd in the street was flat, reserved rather: it displayed neither sorrow, joy, revenge, nor hope. But it may not have experienced all these. Heads uncovered, when the bier arrived, as is the courtesy ever rendered to death. The working population, say half a million, were bare-headed, that being their every day toilette. There was no smoking in the crowds: no jesting. An intense feeling of curiosity dominated, mingled with the satisfaction at the grandeur of the splendid pageant. The flags in mourning, attested very extensive sympathy.\n\nThe deputations and delegations, with their 5,000 crowns represented France; not its industrial institutions. Louis Blanc had workmen for numbers; Ledru Rollin, electors; Thiers, republicans, but Gambetta had all these, for he meant France. He thought his countrymen to be French, not cosmopolitans, and the people retained for Gambetta a secret complaisance and a profound respect. The thousands, including political adversaries—Paul de Cassagnac and the duc de Broglie, who visited his remains at the Palais Bourbon, attest this. The decoration of the façade of the Chamber of Deputies—a black crape scarf drawn across, with the sashes strewn on the majestic steps, the ushers ranged in front of the pillars, and the illuminated lamps veiled, was most effective. The catafalque was neither new, nor rich: it was uncommon. That which had served to inter the Bonapartist de Morny, was considered out of place for the Grand Patriot, though it had conveyed the remains of Thiers.\n\nEfforts are being made to retain the remains permanently in Paris and not at Nice, that might become Italian again, alongside his mother and his favorite aunt. He has bequeathed his brain to the Anthropological museum, to science, as Voltaire did his heart to the Parisians. Upwards of 6,000 applications have already been received, to be present at the technical lecture on the deceased's brain.\n\nA few popular errors to be corrected. Gambetta is not of Jewish extraction; he descends from an old, humble, and pious Catholic family, of Celle, near Savona. Also: he was first elected a deputy in 1869, and returned for Marseilles, his official opponent being Suez de Lesseps, a distant relative of the Empress Eugénie, but a republican since the sinking of the Empire. There also opposed him at the same time, as an Orleanist. At the funeral of the Liberator, the crowd cried, Vive la République! At the obsequies of the Patriot, the nation exclaimed, Vive la France! Gambetta's followers will be absorbed into the other groups; his doctrines will be presented in another form. Time alone can develop the leadership of the republicans and there will be no lack of Richmonds in the field. But that leader will not be able to stir men, to rouse up and lead the people. And should a national crisis ever come, millions will sigh for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still.\n\nGambetta's death settles no pending questions; nor is it to be feared, the disputes and the dissensions of republicans. The royalists consider they can make hay while the sun shines. They have no king: true, one has been coming since half a century, and is likely to remain so. The Figaro, a very monarchal journal, cheers its followers, and offers a fat prize to whoever will forward for publication, a plan possessing a grain of common sense, for the restoration of any monarchy.\n\nThe death of General Chanzy is a very great loss to the army: he and Faidherbe were the only two generals whom the Germans counted with; originally he was intended for the navy, and during the invasion, when admirals and post captains, civilians, superseded professional generals, Chanzy had under his orders, a vice-admiral whom he once served in the capacity of midshipman. Chanzy was a \"possible\" president of the Republic; he would never have had, however, the republican vote, as he is an Orleanist, and the Orleanists intend to run the duc d'Aumale as successor to M. Grévy.\n\nNOVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.\n\nCommunications on Editorial matters to be addressed to the Editor, and those on business to the Manager.

JOSEPH'S COLLEGE.\n\nThe distribution of prizes to the boys of St. Joseph's College took place on Saturday, the 17th instant, at the College in the presence of a very large assemblage. His Excellency the Administrator, who had kindly consented to distribute the prizes, arrived exactly at 3 o'clock, accompanied by Mrs. Marsh and his private Secretary, Mr. Travers. Amongst those present were His Lordship Bishop Raimondi, Very Rev. Fathers Burghignoli and Lémonier, Mr. Loureiro (Portuguese Consul), Mr. Dejardin (French Consul), Mr. Romano (Brazilian Consul), Mr. Musso (Italian Consul), Mr. Coxon (Belgian Consul), Messrs. Francis, Remedios, Guedes, Silva, and others.\n\nHis Lordship the Bishop, in opening the proceedings, said:\n\nMay it please Your Excellency, Ladies and gentlemen—it was not so long ago, a few weeks when we met in this same building on the occasion of its inauguration; and now I have again to thank you for your kindness in honoring us with your presence.\n\nWe are here to-day to witness a ceremony which, though not so novel as the opening of a College, is yet one which is always greeted with pleasure, when it comes on, the distribution of prizes to the fortunate youngsters, who have gained literary victories.\n\nThe giving of school prizes has always a pleasant effect upon a youngster's mind. All human doings are liable to be; in fact, though it might be carried to excess, we are glad to say that the giving of prizes has become a very popular thing in the Colony; and while in former times it was the custom to give the prizes on the same day as the examinations were held, now a day is fixed for it.\n\nWe all know that experience has taught us that it is very difficult for little boys to learn two languages at once. I was therefore very glad to find that a private school has been opened by a Portuguese gentleman, in which not less than 80 boys are learning Portuguese. That school might be a preparatory school to St. Joseph's College, to the greatest advantage of education, it being no doubt easier to teach foreign languages to boys, who know their own.\n\nThe boys of St. Joseph's College are separated into two divisions—the Anglo-Portuguese school and the Anglo-Chinese school—both of which are subdivided into six classes according to the six standards, St. Joseph, being under the grant-in-aid scheme. Examinations have been held, as prescribed by the Code; and here I will tell you frankly that when the time for the examination was drawing near, I was very much afraid that they would have been quite a failure. My reason for this fear was that when they were building the College, the boys' classes were held in matsheds, to the inconvenience of both pupils and teachers. I am, however, very happy to state that the examination passed off exceedingly well this year. Out of the total number of the two divisions in St. Joseph's College, we sent 158 to be examined and of these 145 passed, having gained the required marks in every subject, as it is required by the regulations (applause). That was 92 per cent, and if 30 per cent in England is considered a good result, 92 per cent in Hongkong, you will agree with me, may be considered as a great success (renewed applause).\n\nI have always held that education must always be suited to the wants of the masses and not of the few, and I believe one of the greatest wants in Hongkong is for us to fit our boys to various situations both Government offices and in mercantile employment. Even in this direction St. Joseph's College has done its work well, for out of forty boys who have left the school during the year, not less than twenty have obtained good situations in such offices—two in Government offices, three with Solicitors, four with chemists, and eleven in mercantile firms.\n\nTouching that point as to the future, I must frankly state, that when we consider the number of boys increasing as it is every day, I am very much afraid that in future situations would be very difficult to get for all. Some of those present might possibly recollect that a few years ago I suggested that a way should be opened for our boys to learn engineering, and I am now very glad to tell you that the other day I was assured that three of our boys are now third engineers on board steamers, and several others are preparing.\n\nAnother evil in Hongkong is that boys are too eager to get to situations and they leave the school too soon. I dare say that six years' time is too short to enable the boys to get a complete education, and we had boys, who at the age of thirteen had passed the sixth standard, and were unable to settle down to work.\n\nIt is said, that the parliament will in a few days, when it settles down to work, compel the cabinet to clearly state its views on several touching questions. Egypt will be one of these, but as the Chamber voted for the non-intervention of France, to aid England in the defence of the Khedive, and his administration, it can present no claim to uphold rights it considered not worth the expenditure of a single sou or a single franc to defend. Indeed, I think more attention will be given to home, than to foreign questions. Gambetta threw himself into the latter, to draw off attention from the former. And Clemenceau, the ablest of the Elishas, insists on internal reforms being no longer postponed. The Judicial Bench will be the first dealt with, and then the reorganization of the army, a matter in which the Army itself insists on the completion of the solutions.\n\nThe Opera masked balls have commenced; they are characterized by the absence of the nobility, at least it is not the same, as when Marie Thérèse, the duchesse d'Artois, later the princess Charles X, or when the Regent put in an appearance, receiving kicks behind from Dubois, the better to stamp the Regent's disguise, till the latter protested, \"Dubois, you disguise me too much.\" There was a crowd of strangers as ever, to witness the faded fun and the grand stair case, which were not then in office. Costumiers, in masquerade-lords, or form of undertaker's men on horseback, were a novelty. The Freemasons wore tricolor sashes, and attended with their fast brother-in-laws; bouquets of immortelles: these they too from their button holes, and threw on the coffin, as they bid their Sgrone adieu to their brother of the Mystic tie. The students wore an ivy leaf; and the representatives of Alsace and Lorraine, carried branches, cut in their native villages that they had just left. The statue of Strasbourg on the Place de la Concorde, which has ever remained draped in mourning since the cession of Alsace, had the crape unexpectedly raised on the head of the symbolical figure as the coffin passed by, and a sudden gleam of sunshine lit up the stony features, as if with a smile. Son of the Sunny south, the Sun followed him on a day of Spring, Gambetta to his tomb. A silk scarf, with an embroidered patriotic motto, and lined with earth from Alsace, was placed on the coffin.\n\nRespecting the missing link, Arnoux, Paris had that seven years ago in the Hameau-Uhlen, who was face included, covered with hair like a savage. Darwin's progeny, was as smooth as Lanch.\n\nThe Figaro states, a soup common with the poor of Ireland, consists of skate, lobster, potatoes, the yolks of eggs, and toast. The lamp-lighters are of two classes: one lights, the other extinguishes, the gas; but each demands a separate New Year's tip.\n\nI can assure you that the pupils of Joseph's College are worthy of your warmest sympathy. Their attendance has been pretty good, and that the number of those who are educated has much increased, the building itself amply testifies. We have been compelled to build this new large school, rightly said in one of your last public speeches, to meet the wants of education, as we were suffering from want of space.\n\nPerhaps you are not aware, that this is the fourth time we have had to get a good situation on account of their youth. Moreover, I have heard it said that the system of standards is not entirely satisfactory for the development of young minds. I am of opinion that at a certain age, children are in need of a strict system, like that of the standards, but with regard to boys who have reached the age of thirteen or fourteen years, I think something different is required.\n\nThe Christian Brothers have wisely done so; they have opened a seventh class for boys who have passed the sixth standard, where they learn the elements of different branches of high education—algebra, geometry, botany, mechanics, English literature, foreign languages, and literature. This will perfect the boys in English composition. Some of you perhaps recollect that some three years ago, remarks were passed as to the Portuguese boys of St. Joseph's College being weak in composition. This did not result from want of disposition on the part of the boys, and the Christian Brothers took up the matter with the result that there has been a wonderful improvement.\n\nI hope that a few years more of study will improve them more and more, and qualify them to take better situations than that of mere copying clerks (Applause).\n\nFourteen who have passed the sixth Standard have been enrolled in the Seventh class, but the success of this good work on the part of the Christian Brothers, towards the starting of this important class is entirely due to the magical effect of a special prize which has been given by our liberal and generous friend Mr. Botelho, whose name will always be recollected with gratitude in this College.

It took the form of an English Fair and Grand Rural Fête.\n\nThe death of Mr. F. W. White at Foochow, already reported, was caused by his falling over the verandah during the night. He was found lying on the ground with his skull fractured, never regaining consciousness.\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND\n\nA robbery took place on the night of the 17th inst. in one of the fantan houses at Macao. From the particulars given in the Independente it appears that about nine o'clock in the evening the fantan house named Trevy, situated in the Rua Nova d'El-rei, was attacked by a gang of seven men armed with knives and revolvers, who took all the money on the table, some $200 more or less. They then made off, firing at the watchman, Joan Panio de Souza, as they left, inflicting two wounds. The wounded man was taken to the hospital, but his life is despaired of.\n\nAt the Peking races on the 5th instant, Mr. Detring's Sendgraf, which had been unplaced in two other races, won the Consolation Stakes. Thus qualified he was started in the Champion Stakes which followed, and won the race by a length.\n\nThe British ship Queen Victoria, 1,587 tons, Captain Logie, left Kobe on May 7th, consigned to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company at Yokohama, arrived in the bay on the morning of the 15th inst., passing the lighthouse at Kent at 8.30 a.m., and shortly after grounded on Fatton spit. Mr. Lafin, on the news being received, immediately proceeded to her assistance in the Yokosuka-maru, but the high wind prevailing prevented much being done.\n\nOwing to the drought and famine in the Pescadores, says a Formosa despatch quoted by the N. C. Daily News, the Governor, E. Sho, sent a ship named Chu, with about several thousand piculs of potatoes and a load of rice, this last being the gift of H. E. T'ang Chuang-chih, Viceroy at Foochow, for distribution amongst the sufferers. Mr. Chu personally visited the thirty-two islands of the group, and distributed an average of twenty-five catties of rice to each person. Some 6,000 out of the 9,000 inhabitants availed themselves of the government charity.\n\nNo danger is anticipated, as she is a strongly built vessel. The place on which she has grounded, we learn from the Japan Gazette, is composed of soft mud, so that when the weather moderates and she is lightened it is probable that she will get off without injury.\n\nA plucky rescue from drowning was accomplished at Kobe by Morton Thurgason, A.B., of the Centurion, in the harbour on the 12th inst., we learn from the Hyogo News. A shipmate engaged in cleaning the ship's sides was seized by a fit, and in a helpless condition fell into the water. Thurgason immediately jumped from the rail and seizing the sinking man he succeeded in keeping his head above water until help arrived.\n\nOur contemporary hopes that proper representations will be made of the matter to the Royal Humane Society.\n\nMay 24, 1894\n\nAt the Bien-su Spring Race Meeting on the 17th inst., the Chalin Stakes was won by Pilgrim, the London Plate by Tristar, the Spring Cup by Depatch, the Welter Stakes by Plebian, the Oaks by Pilgrim, Sorthen Zupyzten, and the Viceroy's Cup by Mountain Dr.\n\nOn the 18th inst. the Tientsin Derby was won by Loadstar, the Anatolia Flag Class by chain, the Mongol Ce Casting bir, the Paotai's Cup by Bay-bay, the Cathay Cup by Loadstar, and the Tientsin Stakes by Reichskanzler.\n\nThe Koyo Maru, a steamship owned by the Koyei Steamship Company of Osaka, we learn from the Kobe Herald, stranded on a rock off Naniwamura in Isami Gun, Chita Ken, during a gale, on the night of the 4th inst., and sank the next morning. The Koyo Maru was the late Orestes, built in England, and measuring 320 ft. in length, 38 ft. in breadth, and 26 ft. in depth. Her tonnage is 2176 and registered tonnage 1329. She was commanded by Captain W. H. vekardt.\n\nDr. Morrison, who is journeying from Chungking to Bhamo, has been heard from at Pusseik, in Yunnan, where he was on the 7th of last month, a letter to a gentleman in Shanghai says (N. C. Daily News). The Doctor says: \"I did the fourteen stages to Ubaulung in four days, and waiting there one day I started to Tangobeup, and compassed the remaining stages in three and a bit. So far I have come very quickly from Chungking to Snifa. 230 miles, of which I rode 33 miles, chair 20 miles, boat 40 miles and walked 137 miles; Snifa to Laowatan, 15 miles chair 82 miles, walked 113 miles; Laowatan to Hantung, 145 miles, chair 43 miles, walked 102 miles; Hantung to Tungcheun 110 miles; 80 miles, walked 30 miles.\n\nEveryone is very well.\"\n\nWe take the following from the N. C. Daily News: Some engineers while exploring in the district of Hsingkouchon, Anhui, came across at the end of last month an old shaft, in which there happened to be a number of dead bodies, apparently miners, suddenly cut off from the upper world by the collapse of the mine, less than 400 years ago. The explorers were so scared that they at once gave up further exploration, filling the hole which revealed to them the gruesome sight. Although the coal deposits were reported to be especially rich, the superstition of the people was too great, and a good mine has thus been lost to the proprietors. The dead bodies are said to have been free from decay and the features were quite natural, but no sooner did the outside air enter the hole than the bodies and clothing suddenly crumbled away, leaving nothing but skeletons.\n\nA serious misfortune at Yonezawa, Yamagata Ken, on the 29th ult. Miss Imhoff, a missionary in Japan, met with an accident. According to a native version of the affair, Miss Imhoff had the temerity to preach a sermon whilst standing beside a monument erected in honour of the founder of the Uyesugi family, a former daimyo of Yonezawa, in memory of whom a native religious festival was just then being held. Apparently exasperated at the intrusion, a demonstration was organised, and one of the party threw a stone, which struck Miss Imhoff's eye-glasses, breaking one of the glasses, and injuring the eye so seriously that she will probably lose the sight.\n\nThe true version of the case, however, is given by a correspondent of the Japan Mail as follows: It being the anniversary of the festival of the Uyengi Shrine, permission was asked by the pastor of the Christian churches of the place to hold an open-air meeting, which request was granted by the authorities, a policeman being in attendance. The meeting was not within the enclosure of the shrine, but in the public park adjoining. A meeting was held in the afternoon, at which such good order prevailed that it was decided to hold one in the evening also. The speakers at both meetings were men, Japanese, the pastors and others, Miss Imhoff going by request to assist in the singing, which, aside from distributing tracts and picture cards, was the only part she took. In the evening good attention was given till one of the young men, a student, rather unwisely charged the people with worshipping idols that were not gods, when they became somewhat noisy, though not interrupting the speakers, who finished the meeting in good order. After the close of the meeting, and as Miss Imhoff was reaching up to take down her foreign lantern, a stone, which seems to have been the first and only one, was thrown, striking her in the right eye, breaking her spectacle glass, and entering the eye. A Japanese physician was called, who removed the pieces and who is now caring for the patient. He is an able man and seems to be doing all that can be done. He hopes that after the wound has healed, by an operation similar to that performed for cataract, partial vision may be restored to the injured eye.\n\nThe Shanghai papers record the death of Mr. Charles H. Dallas, who was a prominent member of the Masonic craft, having held the high office of District Grand Master in Japan for some time. At the funeral the Masonic as well as the Church service was read. Mr. Dallas came out to join his brother, Mr. Barnes Dallas, in Shanghai, over thirty years ago, and then made his home in Japan for some years, where he narrowly escaped death at the hands of two ronians, who savagely slashed him from behind with their swords. He returned to Shanghai some years ago. He has left a widow and children.\n\nThe neighbourhood of Ningpo, the N. C. Daily News says, has for a long time been considered a very quiet one. It is therefore surprising to hear that, a few nights ago, a missionary of the Church Missionary Society was attacked and robbed at night by brigands within ten miles of the city. He was travelling in a native boat, so probably the rascals did not know that they were attacking a European; and as soon as the foreigner's presence was discovered they decamped; but not before they had severely beaten the boatman, and given the missionary one or two heavy blows. It is to be hoped that the officials will take prompt steps to stop any repetition of such proceedings.\n\nThe Japan Mail says: We are informed by Captain Snow that during his recent adventures on the sealing vessels of a rock situated in about the position of the 20 fathom line, which was said to have been seen by the people of the Abyssinia on one of that steamer's voyages, and was subsequently searched for without being found. Mr. Snow expressed his opinion that the \"Askold\" rock does really exist. No one probably ever heard of a submerged danger in that locality would seem to indicate that the rock is a real one.\n\nAccording to the N. C. Daily News, Peking, the recent competition for the Chinszih or metropolitan degree at Peking has been marred by a scandal. Owing to the repeated memoranda of various censors, crying out for stricter observance of the regulations of the examination hall, the examiners and other officials within the examination hall have been severely reprimanded and some of them have been punished. No less than from seventy to eighty chujen or competitors had their papers rejected and were disqualified for life.\n\nA practical joke, and a very ill-advised one, says the Kobe Chronicle, was perpetrated by some mischievous persons at Yonezawa. Miss Imhoff is much respected and loved by the people of Yonezawa for her kind and gentle spirit, and they all, as one, regret the accident that befell her.\n\nSmall silver coins of the Hongkong and Canton mints have passed current in Kobe at par; in fact, the imported coin has often been found very welcome, owing to the great scarcity of native coin. Now, however, a change has suddenly come over the scene, and the exchange-shops in the town refuse to receive but Japanese coin at their counters. It is said that the stop has probably been taken from motives of jealousy, owing to the alleged large profits made by Chinese importers of the Canton silver.\n\nNot only the Christians, but non-Christians, send her the most touching and sympathetic letters of sympathy. Miss Imhoff is very thankful for the kindness shown by the people, and has not the least bitterness, even toward the unknown person who caused her so much suffering and anxiety. She thinks it simply an accident, unintentional, at least, of serious results.\n\nDate. 1894\n\nStore Mong\n\nNo. 11451\n\n(Subject.)\n\nNo. 125\n\nRiots\n\n26 May\n\nLast previous Paper.\n\nGov 7340\n\n1. 178)-41-347--0000-11-05\n\nSubsequent Paper.\n\n2773\n\n201\n\nDESPATCH.\n\nC.O.\n\n11451 REC?

O.\n\n23034 Rec2\n\nRecd NOV 36\n\n6\n\nHONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,\n\nReprinted from the \"Hongkong Daily Press.\"\n\nPROTEST AGAINST THE INCREASE IN TELEGRAPH RATES.\n\nOn Saturday, the 19th September, 1896, a special meeting at the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce was held in their Rooms, at the City Hall, for the purpose of protesting against the recent increase in telegraph rates, and also for the purpose of nominating a member for appointment to the Legislative Council. Mr. A. McConachie, Chairman of the Chamber, presided, and there were also present Hon. T. H. Whitehead, Hon. J. J. Bell Irving, Mr. T. Jackson, Mr. N. A. Siebs, Mr. G. B. Dodwell, Mr. N. J.

Kinnear, R. L. Richardson, J. W. R. Taylor, H. Jessen, T. F. Hough, and M. M. Mehta.\n\nThe SECRETARY read the notice calling the meeting.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN -- I think I need hardly detain you by going at length into the question before us. We have met today to protest against the sudden and very heavy increase in their rates which the Joint Telegraph Companies, having first concluded a convention with the Chinese Telegraph Administration, thus paving the way by securing a monopoly, saw fit on the 1st ult. to spring upon us after only a single day's notice. Well, gentlemen, I can only hope that our protest will be emphatic and that it may prove effective. You have all of you no doubt read the correspondence, and can readily form your own judgment on the case. I will now call upon Mr. Jackson to move the first resolution.\n\nMr. T. JACKSON - I preface my remarks by stating that the Telegraph Companies have ever done their work well, and that a more obliging and more painstaking set of public servants I have never met. That is the rose colour of the affair. Now, I come to the subject of the meeting of to-day, and I must say that it came upon me as a very great surprise indeed to find them raising their rates the way they did. I have read their side of the case very carefully. Their contention is that they are only putting the rates homewards on the same basis as the rates outwards. That would be all very well if the rates outwards were at a reasonable figure; but surely at this period, at the end of the nineteenth century, 7s. a word from London to Hongkong is an excessive rate. (Hear, hear.) Every person must admit that. (Applause.) I thoroughly believe that in the course of a very few years people will say, \"I remember when in Hongkong the telegraph rate from London to Hongkong was 8s. per word.\" It is a monstrous charge. Therefore I say that instead of raising the homeward rates the Telegraph Companies might have met their constituents with a reasonable reduction of the outward rates, corresponding with the sterling value of the amount homeward. The question that arises is -- Can they afford to do it? I say, Yes, (Applause), emphatically. The Chinese Administration, I believe, returned something like twenty-four per cent. to their shareholders. At a recent meeting of the Great Northern Company held in Copenhagen they reported a reserve fund of nearly a million sterling; and as for the Eastern Extension Company I should say happy are the shareholders in that concern. They have gone on increasing their lines, and, as their position is a splendid one, they can afford to be just to their shareholders and generous to the public. There is another matter which no doubt some of the subsequent speakers may refer to, and that is the convention with the Chinese Administration. In connection with that it has come out that Chinese messages go over the lines at half-price. The circular sent round by the Joint Telegraph Companies was to my mind wholly unsatisfactory. It seems to me as if they were handicapping us, and we are not receiving that consideration that we ought to under the most-favoured-nation clause. People like ourselves who contribute very considerably to the existence of the Telegraph Companies should be very good friends with the Joint Telegraph Companies, with whom our relations in the past have been of a most friendly and favourable description, will reconsider their action. Now I have formally to move the first resolution: \"That this Chamber is of opinion that the action of the Eastern Extension and Great Northern Telegraph Companies in having, after only one day's notice, on the 1st August last, raised their rates 37.4 per cent. and 43.26 per cent. for telegrams to Europe and America respectively, and 100 per cent for telegrams between Hongkong and Shanghai, is utterly unjustifiable and that their reasons for so doing are inadmissible and wholly insufficient.\"\n\nHon. J. J. BELL-IRVING said - Gentlemen, I have listened with much interest to Mr. Jackson's remarks, with which I entirely concur. This Chamber, representing as it does the commercial interests of the colony, is called upon to strongly protest against any circumstance which may arise tending to hamper our trade. The recent action of the Telegraph Companies will hamper commercial intercourse, and the increase of the telegraph charges is not warranted, as Mr. Jackson has pointed out, by the handsome results which the published reports of the Eastern Extension and the Great Northern Telegraph Companies have shown during recent years. I think the mercantile community here, who have supported these companies for so many years, have good reason to now feel aggrieved. I am sure you will all heartily concur with the resolution proposed by Mr. Jackson, which I have much pleasure in seconding. (Applause).\n\nThe resolution was carried.\n\nHon. T. H. WHITEHEAD - Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I rise to move \"That this Chamber views with the greatest anxiety and\n\nPage",

        "content_text": "570\n\n4\n\n\"Little\" and the \"Great\" East Gates. The western limit of this, the first suggested \"Gare de Yunnan-sen\" is a paved road that runs due south at about a third of a mile from the eastern wall, and joins at right angles a second and wider stone road coming from opposite the approach to the South Gate.\n\n33\n\nThis latter road crosses by the \"Bridge of Victory\" a stream that may be destined to play a not unimportant part in the coming commerce of Yunnan-fu. The stream will be seen to meander through the plain from the local Black Dragon fount - there is a Hei-lung-t'an near every place of consequence in Yunnan - on the north-east till it strikes the city precincts near the Little East Gate.\n\nThence it runs, not far from the wall, in a fairly straight course till it is well past the city, after which it resumes its wandering ways until it is finally merged in the Yunnan Lake. Meanwhile, about a mile south of the city, it has put out a channel running westward, a channel that also eventually leads to the lake. The new gare will be found marked as extending along the east of the parent stream, from the Bridge of Victory to the parting of the channels. I may mention here that I have just been told by my colleague of France that this emplacement of the \"gare\" has been accepted by the local authorities.\n\nIt is proposed to canalize the stream by means of locks, and so to obtain a head of water sufficient to enable small steam-tugs to bring boats up from the lake to alongside the railway station. As coal good enough for use in railway engines has been discovered among the hills west of the lake, whence, too, abundance of building stone is to be had, as, moreover, a ferry service could thus be maintained with K'unyang and other places on the lake, the advantages to be gained by this project of canalization are obvious. Whether the project is practicable, however, I have not yet learnt on good authority.\n\nIt is also proposed by the French to induce the officials to set apart all the ground between the \"gare\" and, at any rate, the western channel to the lake as a sort of European, or at least Europeanized, Settlement. The northern strip along the great paved road from the South Gate to the Bridge of Victory, a strip already largely taken up with Chinese houses, would be left to Chinese dirt and disorder, but the bulk of the ground would be laid out in foreign fashion, with straight broad roads that should be kept clear of offal, dogs, pigs, and intermittent paving stones.\n\nFrance, however, by M. Constans, her former Minister at Peking, renounced the right to demand a concession or settlement at any Treaty port where she did not then (1887) possess one; and Yunnan-fu is not yet even a Treaty port. Moreover, as was shown the other day, when negotiations for the \"gare\" were in progress, the Local Government demur to the acquisition of land here by foreign traders. It is certain, nevertheless, that on the completion of the railway Yunnan-fu will become, in reality if not in name, an open mart; and, meanwhile, the necessity of a \"magasin\" for the railway employés will be maintained, and will lead to the introduction of a foreign - that is, of course, a French - store, just as somewhat similar conditions led to the establishment at Peking in the seventies of Kiérulff's and Vrard's hotels. The Chinese will become gradually aware that the arrival of the first locomotive must greatly increase the value of land all about the \"gare,\" and they will buy up the neighbouring sites. What is worse, they will build on them; and, instead of an orderly Settlement, we shall have a filthy human warren alongside the first-class station.\n\nAs far as I am aware, Great Britain has nowhere tied her hands in regard to demands for settlement areas. At Têngyüeh the T'aotai accepted my suggestion that the neighbourhood of the ground purchased for a British Consulate should be laid out as a Europeanized Settlement, with a Municipal Committee of Chinese and foreigners. Mr. Litton now sends me a notification by the Sub-Prefect forbidding Chinese to encroach on the roads - 3 chang or 35 English feet wide - that have been marked out in this area, or to bury their dead within the Settlement. Concerted action by the British and French should be able to secure similar treatment for the square mile adjoining the proposed \"gare.\"\n\nAs a place of residence, this area is not at present at all inviting; but neither was in 1843 the mud flat \"full of all abominations\" (as a Chinese author has it) that has since become the British Settlement at Shanghai.\n\nMeanwhile, the combined establishment of M. de Pauliny, the Chief of Section, and of M. Sorrel, the contractor, is lodged in an extensive annexe to a native temple, a few hundred yards north-east of the future railway station. Even to foreigners, the annexe - which was built by the Chinese authorities for this purpose - is known as the \"t'ieh-lu Kung-so\" or railway offices. On the other side of the paved road that forms its western limit - this is the paved road already described as running parallel to the east wall of the city - is a large open space, some 30 mou (about 5 acres) in extent.\n\n5\n\nThis, M. François, the late Consul-General, told me had been offered to him as a Consular site, at the price of 3,000 taels. The surroundings are, however, unpleasant (as they are everywhere in the immediate neighbourhood of Yunnan-fu, except to the north) and, in any case, no definite decision has yet been reached by the French Government for the erection of a Consulate.\n\nThe railway establishments at Mengtse remain much as they were described by Mr. Litton in his admirable Report of the 1st October last, but along the road leading to them from the East Gate of the town, a number of buildings are going up, half Chinese, half European, for the accommodation of what might be called the camp followers of the undertaking - Annamese hotelkeepers, Japanese \"filles de joie,\" and the rest.\n\nThis apparent prosperity of Mengtse must, I fear, be only transitory, since the railway will not now avail itself of the spacious green between the French post-office and the French hospital that was originally set aside for its \"gare.\" The new \"gare\" for Mengtse, a third-class \"gare,\" will be situated 6 kilometres (4 miles) to the east, and some 500 feet up the mountain side. There is talk of constructing a short branch line thence to the town, and it seems certain that the existing road, even now of fair dimensions, will be enlarged and improved. Moreover, the conservatism of trade is always to be reckoned with. Nevertheless, it seems highly probable that when the railway is in working order, the caravans with tin slabs from Kuochin, to the west, will proceed straight to the \"gare\" and so pass Mengtse by. It is even more certain that the trade with K'aihua and Kuangnan, to the east, will not come down to the Mengtse Plain merely to return over those four miles to the station in the hills.\n\nAt Mengtse, I was received by the French colony with the greatest courtesy and an abounding hospitality. M. Guibert caused copies to be struck off for me of the plans which I have just described, and sent a circular along the line up to I-liang, requesting for me a \"bon accueil.\" M. Richard sketched out my route, indicating the places where I could spend the night, or, as the case might be, make my mid-day halt. M. Sainson, the Consul, accompanied me twice to the workings on the hill, arranging on the second occasion for a picnic at the spring (another Hei-lung-t'an) below the site of the future \"gare.\"\n\nThat site, as Mr. Litton suggests, is very limited in area, nor from the nature of the ground can it well be otherwise. And yet, if the Customs are to continue to be established at Mengtse, it will obviously be necessary to maintain at least an examiner and his staff alongside the railway station, together with the usual apparatus of sheds and godowns. In the event, it would seem exceedingly likely that the Mengtse establishment will be broken up, and its constituents distributed between the two termini of the line, Yünnan-fu and Ho-K'ou.\n\nI followed the \"tracé\" southwards only as far as the Mi-la-ti \"col,\" the watershed between the Mengtse Plain (which belongs to the West River system) and the Nam-hti (an affluent of the Red River). Work on the tunnel here was proceeding at a reasonably rapid rate: several courses of stone facing are in position. Indeed, the two lots (Nos. 10 and 11 in the fourth section) for which M. Péraglié is contractor are considerably further advanced than any others along the line. One reason for this is doubtless because they are the nearest to head-quarters, and are under the immediate supervision of the Directeur des Travaux. Another reason is that they are the first lots on the Yunnan Plateau, and therefore secure many of the Chinese labourers who have found the Nam-hti Valley impossible.\n\nThe progress of the railway, indeed, is now almost entirely a question of labour. All along the road, I heard the same complaint - lack of the \"main d'œuvre.\" The Regulations require that recourse should be had in the first instance to the populace of Yunnan, and that only when this source fails should Chinese from other provinces be engaged. But the Yünnanese is a man of few wants, and with a strong dislike to prolonged exertion. As soon as he has earned a dollar or two as wages, he throws up his work for the month, for he has gained enough to keep him in rice and opium. Furthermore, there is no excess of population in Yunnan, as there is, for example, in congested Kuangtung. When the season comes for breaking up the opium fields and planting out the summer crop of paddy, the Yunnan coolies desert, almost to a man. The same will happen again at rice harvest and poppy sowing. In short, as M. Prud'homme told me, it is impossible to reckon on a steady supply of Yunnan labour during more than five months in the year.\n\n[2172 -1]\n\n24",

        "content_text": "571\n\n&\n\nItalian contractor near A-mi Chou complained to me that, whereas in January he had 2,000 coolies on his \"lot,\" he had then (20th May) but a couple of dozen; if he could retain the full number his \"lot\" might be finished, the main tunnel excepted, within four months.\n\nThere have been many discussions on this subject of labour between the French Consulate General and the Local Government. The latter fear the introduction of men from the Two Kuang as being likely to lead to disturbances, and they advocate a system of native official recruitment amongst the Yunnanese, particularly of the north-east. The contractors have at present to find their own coolies, but there is much discontent among them, and I believe that they are awaiting the return of Herr von Kapp to ask that the Société de Construction should relieve them of this obligation.\n\nIt is in the Nam-hti Valley that the difficulty is most felt. The Yunnanese will not willingly descend the plateau to work there, so great is their dread of its insalubrity. The dread seems to be justified if it is true, as I am told, that, besides a great number of natives, some sixty Europeans have, from first to last, died victims to the malaria of the valley. \"Valley\" it hardly deserves to be called, but rather \"gorge.\" So steep in many places are the sides that to mark out the track men had to be lowered by ropes, their movements directed by signals from the other side of the ravine. There are, it is true, portions of the tract north of Mi-la-ti, and not inconsiderable portions, that are almost as precipitous, but the labour problem is not so acute in the northern division, and there are several intervals of comparative, or even positive, plain. It is agreed, in short, that the northern division will be completed, as far as earthworks are concerned, before the southern.\n\nFor their rails both divisions must wait until the Tonquin line reaches Laokai. According to the Agreement between the Government of Indo-China and the Railway Company, this line should reach Laokai by the 1st May next.\n\nThe question is whether it can do so. M. Guillemoto, head of the Travaux Publics in Indo-China, who has been energetically pushing this work, has just gone home on sick leave. According to a M. Laumonier, one of the leading contributors to the \"Courrier d'Haiphong\" (the 14th May, 1904), the line from Yenbay to Laokai \"amène avec elle tout un cortège de déceptions et de mécomptes.\" \"Although there are no tunnels, no aqueducts, nothing, in short, out of the common, despite the assertion of M. Borreil, alter-ego of the grand chef of the Travaux Publies, the line will not be handed over by the agreed date.\" This is the view of another correspondent, writing from Than-ba on the 19th April, who says: \"The actual condition of the work unfortunately does not justify the hope that the line can be handed over in time.\" If it is not so handed over, Compagnie du Yunnan will claim, this correspondent affirms, heavy damages from the Colony. I may add that an Italian “conducteur\" whom I met, and who had only lately come up to Yunnan from the Yenbay-Laokai section, told me that, in his opinion, two years would be necessary to complete that section, both on account of the mechanical difficulties and for reason of the lack of workmen. As far as Traibutt the difficulties are not grave, but above that point they are, he said, most serious.\n\nThe causes assigned (by a M. Debellonnière in the \"Courrier\" for the 6th April last) for the distaste shown by Chinese labourers to work on the railway line in Tonquin are:--\n\n1. The excessive cost of rice.\n\n2. The restrictions on opium.\n\n3. The fact that the coolies are not treated as freemen, but are \"gardés comme des prisonniers à la cangue par des soldats.\"\n\nThanks to Annamese informers, many of the Chinese coolies, who cannot work without opium, have been heavily fined or imprisoned by the French authorities for smuggling the drug. These Chinese (Kuangtung men) are not, the writer declares, deterred by toil or maladies, and would work willingly enough if the Government provided them, as in Madagascar, with rice and opium at reasonable rates and allowed them a measure of liberty.\n\n(If his conclusions are correct, as I believe them to be, they may be commended to the Government of the Transvaal.)\n\nIt should be mentioned, in connection with the Tonquin line, that the first locomotive arrived at Yenbay on the 25th April of this year, and that the section Viétri-Yenbay was formally opened by the Governor-General during the first week in May. Various writers in the Tonquin press declare that both this section and that to Laokai are so full of short curves that the working of the line will be at a great disadvantage. Not only can no great speed be attained, but the wear and tear on engines and rails will be excessive. It is affirmed that the object of the Travaux Publics, which has had to take over the track from the bankrupt contractors, has been to economize both in time and money. They have therefore avoided tunnelling, and in some instances have run their line dangerously close to the river.\n\nIf the Tonquin Railway reaches Laokai by the 1st May next, then the Construction Company are bound to complete it within two years more to Mengtse, and that is to say, it must reach Yunnan-fu within a further three years.\n\nWhether it will do so, opinion widely varies. Yunnan-fu by the 1st May, 1910.\n\nM. Guibert, Directeur des Travaux, and M. Prud'homme, Chef de Division--both of whom ought to be in a position to form a correct judgment--told me that the line could be completed to Yunnan-fu in three years, that is by the summer of 1907, always provided that there are no more disturbances, such as that of Lin-an last spring, to interrupt the work. Others, less highly placed, speak of five years; a few, of ten. It is agreed on all sides that the line must, and will, be completed eventually.\n\nMy personal acquaintance with the track begins, as I have said, at the Mi-la-ti divide, where is to be found the only tunnel, as far as I am aware, that is receiving its facing of dressed stone. Ordinary labourers, I may remark, receive 1 dollar for four days' work, except in the Nam-hti Valley, where wages rule higher--usually 35 cents a day. Masons are paid 40 to 50 cents a day. For the greater part of the \"tracé,\" lying as it does among the mountains, stone is abundant; and the masons of Yunnan are fairly skilful, in great contrast to the carpenters, whose work is crude and clumsy. Along M. Peragliè's evidence, no bridges had yet been made, though quantities of dressed stone were stacked in readiness. Several large culverts had been completed, in one of which I saw a beggar had taken up free quarters, stopping the superfluous entrance with a pile of brushwood.\n\nMy first intention was to follow the railway track from this point to A-mi Chou, but the distance (some 60 kilom.) is too long to be easily done in one stage; so I decided to take the road through the Mengtse Plain and over the pass of Shui-tang. For the first few miles the railway cutting could be plainly seen, descending gradually along the western slope of the range until it vanished behind a spur. Thence forward until A-mi was reached there were no signs of its presence other than the occasional distant report of a \"coup de mine.\" As a reference to the detailed plan of the line will show, the railway pursues a very devious course in its descent to the A-mi Plain. It has, in fact, to make its way in and out of a tangle of little valleys, particularly between kilom. 200 and kilom. 218.\n\nA-mi Chou once reached, the line follows down the \"Lin-an River\" for a short distance, then, diverging to the left, passes by means of a tunnel into the valley of the Pei-ta Ho. My own path led me, as I have said, back across the Mengtse Plain to the nearest \"sea\" (lakes in Yünnau are dignified into \"seas,\" even though, as in this case, they are mere dwindling swamps), by which I had descended to Mengtse, and crossed the long stone causeway over the thence into a side valley, whose northern limit is the village of Lei-kung Ssú, where my convoy offsaddled for tiffin. From this point to the head of the pass that leads down into the A-mi Plain the country seems very desolate, though the pass itself is picturesque. A-mi \"Patzu\" (the Plain of A-mi) as seen from the \"col,\" is particularly striking. In the far distance, though looking deceptively close—is A-mi town, while a pagoda away to the north-east marks roughly the point of entrance of the railway.\n\n+1 sea;\n\nThough I left Mengtse at 8 A.M. I did not reach A-mi till sunset. The headquarters of this section of the railway occupy a temple outside the east gate of the town. The \"chef de section,\" M. Garcia, and his wife, I had left at Mengtse, but by their courtesy I was assigned the guest-room in their residence, originally the main hall of the temple. Everywhere where possible along the line temples have been rented, and, without injury to their structure, converted into comfortable dwellings. No particular difficulty, as far as I could learn, has been experienced in securing these numerous temples, nor are excessively high rents demanded. A temple once obtained, outbuildings are run up in the compound, it being understood that these and all other innovations shall be removed when the permanent buildings--the station-masters' dwellings--are erected.",

        "content_text": "houses, and so forth-are complete. At the A-mi Concession there must be quite thirty Europeans, including two women and three children.\n\nThe people of A-mi appeared to be friendly. As I approached the town, I was addressed by one or two as \"Messer,\" and an old man of whom I inquired my way seized and shook vigorously my hand-the left hand-while he answered.\n\nThis friendly attitude may well in part be due to the little hospital which had been attached to the Construction Company's compound. The hospital is in charge of Dr. Sureaud and his \"infirmier.\"\n\nAs it was Dr. Sureaud who, in the absence of M. Garcia, acted as my host.\n\nThe next stage, Siao-lung-t'an, is only 16 kilom. distant, I did not start till after déjeuner on the second day (the 20th May), but took the opportunity to walk round the town, for the most part on the wall. The town is small, but even so a considerable space within the walls is occupied by vegetable gardens and banana or pomegranate plantations. On the west side are some temples, apparently in good repair, and a number of fine old trees. The place seems to have little or no trade, nor could I learn that there are any mines of value in the district, with one exception, to be noted presently. The future railway station is to be outside the town, on the north-east.\n\nAfter tiffin M. Savoyard, the sub-contractor, an Italian, rode with me to the end of his lot. He told me he had bought his tools and other implements at Hong Kong, for the contractors are free to procure them whence they please. He had paid some 500l. for them at Hong Kong, but their transport to A-mi had cost three times that sum. Work, I noticed, had been commenced at several points along the line, notably at the tunnel connecting the A-mi Plain with the valley of Pei-ta Ho, and at the further tunnel at the entrance to the Pei-ta Ho gorge. We followed the service road which joins these points and mounts the side of the gorge above the tunnel. On the way, M. Savoyard pointed to a village near which, he said, is a copper mine that would repay exploitation by Europeans. At the tunnel by the gorge were a couple of white men, one of them an elderly Italian who had been with M. Savoyard in Macedonia. Their lodging is a hut of four tiny rooms. In one of these tea was served to us, stewed in a saucepan and poured out, leaves and all, into thick glass tumblers. The river water is undrinkable during the rains, which had evidently begun up country; for the stream was of a bright orange colour, a colour it retained as far as the I-liang Plain.\n\nFrom this tunnel commence the defiles of the Pei-ta Ho, defiles that continue with brief intervals till the I-liang Plain is reached. The \"trace\" keeps to the right bank up to the first of these intervals, an amphitheatre on the southern edge of which is the contractor's post of Siao-lung-t'an (kilom. 237). Here the railway is to cross to the left bank, where it remains till past Lu-feng Ts'un (kilom. 345). Only one bridge, as I understand, is to be of iron; all others will be built of stone.\n\nAt Siao-lung-t'an the railwaymen had no temple for their base, but were obliged to erect everything themselves. Here I found M. Serpieri, an Italian, and his wife who, thanks to M. Guibert's circular, were expecting me, and received me most hospitably. M. Serpieri was at first employed in the Nam-hti Valley, but, as his health was greatly suffering, succeeded in effecting an exchange. There were half-a-dozen other Italians, surveillants and \"tâcherons,\" in the compound, which was so full that I had to take for my bedroom the office, while my servants camped out under their bell-tent.\n\nThe next day (21st May) M. Serpieri showed me the way past some railway embankments on the comparatively level ground of the amphitheatre, to the river side, after which it was impossible to miss my road, the \"chemin de service.\" The scenery becomes presently most remarkable. On the right hand is a towering precipice; on the left the river describes a double S curve, having in each concave bend a lofty crag topped with pines. The railway, keeping now always to the left of the stream, runs parallel to the line of the precipice, piercing by tunnels the great banks which join precipice to crag. Near the second of these tunnels I met two Italians, who asked me if it was true that I was in charge of Italian interests.\n\nI replied that I am in charge only of British and Austrian interests: on which one of the two observed that he had understood from his Minister at Peking that they would be able to refer to me. The Italians along the line, he added, were now about 1,000 in number, of all grades from chief of section to a foreman. They were not altogether satisfied with the condition of affairs, and, as I understand, had telegraphed to their Minister accordingly.\n\nPage 9\n\nI tiffined in a cavern by the side of the service road, still in the gorge. About 4 o'clock the country again opened out, and in less than an hour later Ta-lung-t'an was reached. The \"dragon spring\" is a tank up which wells a strong and steady stream.\n\nNailed to a tree hard by was a board with the inscription \"Chalet de Tao-long-tang,\" and beside it a long flight of steps led up to the temple occupied by a sous-chef, M. Chevalier, and his assistant (\"conducteur\") M. Lebadie. The former was away, but the latter received me and most amply entertained me. I spent the night in the quarters of his absent chief, with every comfort—I might say, with every luxury. M. Lebadie told me that a large part of his duties consists in arranging for the purchase of land for the line; and that when the prospectors first appeared the farmers used to turn out with guns to warn them off. The people were now, however, accustomed to the sight of the \"yang-kuan\" (foreign official—the stock term for the railway man) and no longer threatened them.\n\nBy the Regulations land should be purchased by the officials; but, as I was told elsewhere, if the contractors waited till this was done work would never begin. The Provincial Government, in answer to remonstrances from the French Consulate-General, pleaded want of funds. The Canton Viceroy had been instructed to assist his colleague of Yün-kuei, but all his spare cash had gone in the attempt to suppress the Kuangsi rising. Finally, the Railway Company had offered to advance 2,000,000 dollars. Even so the Company would, M. François told me, be paying twice over for the land; because they found it more satisfactory to purchase themselves direct from the owners than to await the slow results of mandarin action. On the other hand the Chinese (not the officials only) complain of hasty and high-handed proceedings on the part of the engineers and contractors, who will endeavour to hustle the East. It is fortunate for the peace of Yunnan that quite 90 per cent. of the line passes through uninhabited mountains, where tunnelling disturbs no one's ancestors, and there are no paddy fields to be smothered by rubble.\n\nThe railway track keeps close to the river, and so passes at a little distance to the west of the \"Chalet de Tao-long-tang.\" I did not, in fact, again strike the track till about 11 in the forenoon of the next day. M. Lebadie rode with me to La-li-hei, about an hour's journey north, to the spacious temple filled with railway plant and occupied by the contractor for the 17th-19th \"lots,\" M. Parboni. He was away along the line, but two of his associates received us. After a stay of an hour or so I left, in the company of M. Kalos, a young Greek, who acts as paymaster for the line between La-li-hei and Yunnan-fu. The road, leaving the river, mounts a plateau sparsely planted with pines and walnuts; then, after traversing a poor village, skirts some reservoirs (at present half dry) and descends abruptly through a valley inhabited chiefly by Lo-los, a not uncomely race. Where this valley joins the Pei-ta Ho the service road recommences. Following this I arrived at midday at the hut of M. Poirçon, a French \"conducteur,\" where I was presently joined for tiffin by M. Kalos, who had stayed behind to make sure of his treasure train. The Company remit to Europe, free of charge, such portions of each employee's salary as the recipient may desire; the balance is paid in piastres, and these it is M. Kalos' duty to distribute.\n\nM. Poirçon's station is the last point south of Posi where work on the actual line is being conducted. The service road, indeed, thence to Posi has only lately been finished. Round a bend just above this station magnificent cliffs shut in the river. Here a \"barque,\" a long, narrow, flat-bottomed boat, is kept for the service of the Company, and in this M. Kalos and I took passage, sending our baggage ahead by the \"chemin de service,\" cut into the almost precipitous east side of the gorge. We were punted or hauled up stream, frequently running aground, until we began to despair of reaching our destination by dinner-time. Night had, in fact, fallen before we emerged from the defile into the Posi Plain. We stumbled along a broken stone road round three sides of a wide stretch of paddy ground, until at last, at half-past 9 o'clock, we found ourselves in the temple compound occupied by the chief of section and his staff. The Chief was ill and in bed, but his kindly assistant, M. Vialard, though himself far from well, and Mme. Vialard, were most good to us. I spent the night in the newly-erected offices, rooms absolutely bare; but the traveller in Yünnan would be only too content if he could always get quarters equally clean and dry.\n\nThe Plain of Posi is evidently not healthy, and I can answer for it that it can be exceedingly hot. The crops then (May 23rd) showing above ground included cotton and sugar-cane, proofs of a tropical climate. I do not think that any railway work (beyond the housing of the staff) has yet been begun on Posi Plain. It was not until\n\nPage 572",

Confidential.) Sir,\n\nCanton, September 9, 1908.\n\nIN continuation of my despatch No. 31, Confidential, of the 25th July last, on the affairs of the Chinese section of the Canton-Kowloon Railway, I have the honour to report that Mr. Grove, the Engineer-in-chief, has now completed his estimate of the total cost of the line from Canton to the British frontier.\n\nMr. Grove is unable to furnish me with a copy of this estimate for your perusal, but suggests that the British and Chinese Corporation, to whom the statement has been forwarded, will doubtless send you a copy if requested to do so.\n\nMr. Grove has with much difficulty, and at a sacrifice of efficiency to economy in certain matters, succeeded in keeping his estimate within the allotted sum (£1,500,000.), leaving, however, no margin for unforeseen expenditure. As stated in my previous Report, the unexpectedly heavy expenditure which is being incurred in the purchase of land is chiefly responsible. Mr. Grove informs me that the purchase of land is now proceeding more satisfactorily, and he hopes by next spring to have secured all the land he requires. Considerable opposition to the railway is being shown in the Samchun district, adjoining the British frontier, where the inhabitants of one village have, after an acrimonious dispute with the railway's land officers, succeeded in inducing the Director-General in Peking to sanction a serious deviation in the line.\n\nMr. Grove estimates that the section between Canton and Hsintang (near Shelkung), some 30 miles long, will be open to traffic in December 1909, and the whole line in July 1911.\n\nThe line is divided, for construction purposes, into three sections, each under a District Engineer.\n\nThe first and third sections present few difficulties; the second section, which is considerably shorter than the others, will require a large amount of bridge work.\n\nWork is now proceeding on all three sections.\n\nMr. Grove does not consider that any good purpose will be served by commencing negotiations for a Working Agreement between the Chinese and British sections until portions of the line on both sides have been opened to traffic, and traffic departments have been organized. However, this is only his personal opinion, and he has asked me to assure the Governor of Hong Kong that, should his Excellency deem it advisable to start preliminary negotiations at this stage, he will co-operate in whatever way he can. He does not wish to take any active part in the negotiations himself, as he is afraid that, by so doing, he might compromise his position as Engineer-in-chief vis-à-vis the Chinese authorities.\n\nI am forwarding a copy of this despatch to the Governor of Hong Kong.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) H. H. FOX.\n\nCHINA RAILWAYS.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[38032]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[November 2.]\n\nSECTION 1.\n\n42997\n\n24 NOV OC\n\nSir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received November 2.)\n\n(No. 420. Confidential.) Sir,\n\nPeking, September 16, 1908.\n\nWHEN Mr. Hillier saw Mr. Liang Shih-yi, of the Board of Communications, on the 1st September, to discuss the draft Final Agreement mentioned at the close of my despatch No. 385 of the 1st September, he was requested to inform his principals that the Grand Council preferred the first of the two alternatives offered on the 29th August, that is, a loan at 95 and 5 per cent., and would probably refuse to conclude the transaction on the 93 basis. Mr. Liang gave expression to some personal disgust at being forced to break his word, but Mr. Hillier naturally insisted that he had been given the option \"firm,\" a fact which was in no way denied, and declined to acquiesce in its withdrawal in this manner. The matter was referred by him to London by telegraph.\n\nIt appears that, in the meantime, the French group had expressed to the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation in London their readiness to take half of the whole seven millions at 93 if it were issued at once, but they were unable to co-operate in a loan at 95 for a reason peculiar to the French market. There is a French stamp duty of 2 per cent., as opposed to 10s. per cent. in England, and the difference of 1¼ per cent. left insufficient margin to the French on the 95 offer. As a matter of fact, Mr. Liang in discussion had admitted that the 93 scheme was more advantageous for China, and he could give no better reason for the withdrawal of the option than the wish of his superiors, whose names were not disclosed.\n\nWhile this difficulty was created on the Chinese side, Mr. Hillier's principals showed signs that they were not satisfied to issue a loan without stating the purposes for which the money was required, and especially that four millions of it were to go to the redemption of the existing Belgian indebtedness. Mr. Liang had shown himself stubborn on this point, alleging that the stipulation required might furnish a handle for future interference, and that the Chinese Government were resolved not to furnish the slightest pretext to foreign bondholders to meddle in the administration of the Pei-Han Railway.\n\nI saw my French colleague on the 6th September, gave him a Memorandum by Mr. Hillier to read, and explained the situation fully. He had himself seen Mr. Hillier the same morning, and had learnt from him how matters stood. I should mention that a pledge had been given by Mr. Hillier at the outset that there should be no official intervention of Legations in this matter, but Mr. Hillier did not think that this pledge could be construed to cover a \"breach of faith\" on Mr. Liang's part. On the other hand, it was possible that any attempt by the Legations to hold the Chinese Government to the 93 option might wreck the whole negotiations, and bring the Belgians again on the scene. M. Bapst was willing to let Messrs. Hillier and Casenave decide jointly whether or not they desired intervention, and, if they did, he thought a private representation to Yuan Shih-k'ai would be the best method of procedure. I gathered from him the impression that, in his view, the 95 proposal, which he characterized as a \"bold one,\" had been made and accepted by the British group without consulting the French.\n\nOn the 8th September M. Casenave received a telegram from the Banque de l'Indo-Chine at Paris stating that the price of 95 shut them out entirely from participation in the operation, and making a counter-suggestion of a loan repayable in thirty years at 5 per cent. for fifteen years and 4½ per cent. for the second fifteen years at the price of 94; but soon afterwards this was followed by another telegram instructing him to keep this suggestion in reserve, and to hold the Chinese Government to the 93 option. A telegram to the latter effect was also received by Mr. Hillier from London on the 9th September.\n\nI took advantage of a private visit from Mr. Tong Shao-yi on the 9th September to put the circumstances before him. I did not conceal my suspicions that the surprising withdrawal of the 93 option sprang from some doubtful manoeuvre of Chen Pi, the President of the Board of Communications, who is commonly reported to be in Belgian ...",

        "content_text": "# CONFIDENTIAL\n\n## Mr. Rumbold to Sir Edward Grey\n### (Received September 6.)\n\n**(No. 240. Confidential.)**\n\nTokyo, August 16, 1909.\n\nSir,\n\nTHE Peking correspondent of the \"Jiji Shimpo\" called at the embassy on the 12th instant with a letter of introduction from Sir John Jordan. In the course of conversation, the correspondent in question said that he understood that China was thinking of building a railway from Chengchow to Tsitsihar. He understood, he said, that Japan would not oppose such a project, but that if she did, she would expose herself to much adverse comment from other Powers, since the proposed line would pass well to the west of Fakumen. He understood that the line had been already surveyed, but he considered that it was impracticable, for the present, as it would not pay.\n\nThe information supplied by this gentleman gave an opening for alluding to the matter in conversation with the Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs, yesterday, without the necessity for mentioning either Sir J. Jordan's correspondence with you on the subject, or Messrs. Paulings' reported concession for the proposed line. Mr. Ishii's language was very vague and non-committal. All he would say was that it would be premature, at present, to express any opinion as to the attitude the Japanese Government would take up in regard to a project which he characterized as only a rumour from Peking. A line, such as that under discussion, could not possibly pay, at present, and would prove very expensive. On the hypothesis that the line were ever built, he seemed to think that there would have to be some working arrangement with the Chinese by which the interests of Japan and of the South Manchurian Railway would be safeguarded. Such an arrangement would, presumably, be in the nature of a financial compensation to the South Manchurian Railway for any loss of traffic.\n\nIt might be inferred from his Excellency's language that Japan will allow the line to be built, provided that the South Manchurian Railway are duly compensated.\n\nIn reply to a question as to whether the Japanese Government had fixed the competitive area with reference to the South Manchurian Railway, Mr. Ishii said that this course was almost impossible. So much depended on topography, population, and local trade, &c.\n\nWith regard to American participation in the recent Hankow-Canton loan, Mr. Ishii said that he thought it only natural that the United States of America should wish to have a share in this loan. They had originally made a great mistake in allowing themselves to be bought out of the Hankow-Canton concession by the Chinese. He said that he had heard nothing about American railway activity in Manchuria and seemed unwilling to discuss the subject.\n\nIn regard to the foregoing, it is interesting to recall the advice recently given by Mr. Chirol of the Times to Marquis Katsura. Speaking of the South Manchurian Railway, Mr. Chirol said that it would be wiser for Japan to secure a definition of the limits of the competitive area by direct negotiation with China before other foreign interests are engaged. Otherwise, Japan may, one day, be confronted by a powerful foreign syndicate, backed by American and German capital, which would take its stand on the \"open door\" and put her in a very difficult position.\n\nI am unaware of the negotiations regarding the proposed Chengchow-Taonan-Tsitsihar railway to which Lord Ffrench alluded in conversation with Sir J. Jordan, and it would be useful to this embassy to know whatever can be ascertained at Peking on the subject.\n\nI have forwarded a copy of this despatch to His Majesty's Minister at Peking.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nHORACE RUMBOLD.\n\n## CHINA RAILWAYS\n\nIt was stipulated that the construction of the railway should be commenced within a period of two years, and that the construction and improvement of the line should be carried out as a joint Chinese and Japanese enterprise, each Government appointing commissioners for the purpose. Hence China has every right to send her representatives to take part in the control and inspection of the operations. At the expiry of the time stipulated in the agreement, however, the Japanese Government gave no indication of any intention to resume negotiations in this matter, nor did they do so until the spring of this year. The Chinese Government, with a view to cement friendly relations between Japan and China, yielded to the former's request for the resumption of negotiations. The department of communications of the Peking Government accordingly sent officials appointed for that purpose. Subsequently, the Viceroy of Manchuria communicated with the Japanese consul at Mukden, insisting upon holding to the original arrangements for building this line; but the consul further delayed matters by refusing China's request that Japan should not place military guards either on or adjacent to the line. This sum to be the reason of the long delay in the negotiations which, however, were still proceeding when, quite unexpectedly, on the 6th August, the Japanese Minister sent a communication to the Wai-wu Pu charging China with procrastination and declaring that Japan would forthwith commence the work without Chinese co-operation.\n\nOn the receipt of this communication, the Wai-wu Pu forwarded to the Japanese Minister at Peking a reply, the gist of which was that, as the improvements were being made in the interests of trade and commerce, no necessity existed for the extension of the railway zone, but that China would not raise any objection if Japan wished to change the gauge and effect other improvements of an engineering character. The reply further emphasised that in the event of the gauge being changed, it must be made the same as that of the Peking-Mukden line, and that no other changes must be made other than those entailed by the necessities of engineering. This stipulation has particular reference to the suggested possibilities of a general change of route. It also stated that no extension of military control under the pretext of patrolling the railway in Manchuria would be permitted, and that the Chinese Government would furnish police or guards to protect the line. It concluded by repudiating any responsibility for the past delay.\n\nWe (Chinese Government) would point out to your Excellencies that the Japanese Government resumed negotiations subsequent to the expiry of the time stipulated in the treaty for the commencement of the work; but although this was the case, we, with a view to arriving at an amicable settlement of the differences existing between Japan and ourselves, did not refuse their request. Now, however, Japan, relying upon her superior strength, suddenly takes action regardless of the terms of the treaty and seeks to lay the blame for delay upon China. We are sure that under the pretext of developing communications and commerce, the Japanese Government desires this railway almost entirely for military purpose. It will also be remembered that the Japanese, in spite of treaty obligations, have made many other encroachments upon the rights and liberties of China.\n\nIn view of the situation brought about by the matters treated of in the foregoing, and particularly regarding the extension of Japanese military control in Manchuria, we have been compelled to lay particular emphasis on questions relating to the military protection of the railway and the constitution of the police force. If Japan had conceded these points, this matter would have been settled long ago, and she would have been under no necessity of attempting to lay the blame for any delay at the door of China. China still hopes for an amicable settlement within the terms of the treaty and, in making this announcement to the Powers, desires simply to set forth the facts in their true light, leaving the world to judge to whom the blame attaches.\n\nPage 33652\n\n**[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]**\n\n| Date | Reference |\n| --- | --- |\n| [September 6.] | `RECE 12 OCT 09` |\n|  | `SECTION 3.` |\n|  | `596` |\n|  | `CONFIDENTIAL.` |\n|  | `[33431]` |\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[2413 ƒ-3]",

        "content_text": "## 4\n\nregard to the immediate neighbourhood of their railway from Meng-tzu to Yünnan-fu, have been made public. (See `Annales des Mines`, tome xi, 3 et 4 livraison de 1907, Paris. \"Notes sur la Géologie et les Mines de la Région comprise entre Las Kay et Yunnan-sen,\" par M. H. Lantenois, ingénieur-en-chef des mines, directeur du Service des Mines de l'Indo-Chine; M. Counielon, chef du Service géologique; M. Monsuy, du Service géologique; Lieutenant de Batz, du Service géographique, &c.). To the most casual reader of these reports it is evident that the French authorities expect large returns from the mines, and that, in the choice of a route for the railway itself, they were largely influenced by the presence of mining fields likely to yield profitably when scientifically exploited. Is it, then, reasonable to suppose, after the extensive work done by the above and by other, both open and confidential, mining and geological expeditions, and in face of what the French hope to derive from the minerals of Yunnan, that any endeavour will be forgone or any concessions remain ungranted whereby trade in metals and minerals, and the revenue derived from such, shall be allowed to pass unnoticed elsewhere?\n\nCC\n\nAlthough the French railway is reported to be fast nearing completion, I do not think that at the present moment there is much likelihood of the old-established orpiment trade with Burmah, and its certain markets, drifting castwards to new routes and a fresh market which would have to be developed. Still, it is best to be aware of the present situation, which is entirely a new one, for whereas in the past, no element of uncertainty has ever been involved, now a new and disturbing influence is introduced; and how far the trade in those metals and minerals (which I am here especially to investigate) is likely to be affected is a matter which future events alone will decide.\n\nThe lieutenant-governor regards these reports as affording strong support to the suggestion that a railway from Bhamo to Talifu, though a difficult and costly undertaking, would, after no great length of time, pay a fair return on the capital expenditure, and to the contention that the construction of such a railway is essential if British trade with Yünnan is to hold its own against French competition. Mr. Coggin-Brown's reports deal mainly with mineral resources in Yünnan. But there are signs that other industries are also capable of great development on the improvement of communications. As an instance, I am to solicit a reference to the \"report on the trade of Tengyueh for the year 1908,\" in which the British consul at Tengyueh remarks:\n\n\"Thus isolated from the world, Western Yünnan has been driven to become self-supporting, and possessing a fertile soil and a variety of climates depending on the different altitudes of the inhabited plateau, the country people have learned to a great extent to rely upon their own resources. Rice and vegetables are produced in abundance, with the result that there is a large and prosperous population with substantial and comfortable houses, and lacking little but the cotton with which both Chinese and Shans are clothed in a uniform blue. For many years the raw cotton yarn required by the people has been carried by mules from Burmah, and the construction of a good road, as well as the establishment of a custom-house with a moderate and definite tariff, has proved in its few years of trial that the trade has possibilities of considerable development, and that this prosperous line of valleys may be looked to as an important consumer of foreign goods.\"\n\nAnd in the same report Mr. Rose concludes a discussion as to the probable effect of the French railway with the following words:\n\n\"The mule caravans plying between China and Burmah are conducted by muleteers from the Yunnan highlands, who are unable to cross the low-lying malarial valleys of the frontier district during the rains of the four summer months. The trade route is therefore only practicable during the open season, and this factor alone will prove a heavy handicap to the interests of British India when a railway is running from Yunnan-fu to Indo-China all through the year. The question of communications in South-West Yunnan now calls for the serious consideration of the officials and people of China, and of those in British India and Burmah for whom the trade of these regions has a real and growing interest. There is a large and thriving population with a long tradition of trade to and from Burmah, but, as the example of Chefoo and Kiaochao has amply proved, no tradition and no vested interests can overcome the practical needs of commerce, even amongst the most conservative people in the world.\"\n\n## 5\n\nThis is a clear warning that if the construction of a railway from Burmah is much longer delayed, not only will British commerce miss a great opportunity of extension, but the trade which at present exists will pass into the hands of the French.\n\n4. The unequivocal nature of the engagement made by the Chinese Government in 1902, which undoubtedly gives to the British Government the right to railway concessions in Yunnan similar to those given to French enterprise, has been more than once pressed upon the Chinese Government by His Majesty's Minister at Peking, but it has not hitherto been thought practicable to use this engagement as a means of obtaining a concession for the construction of a British railway to Talifu. And in the correspondence of which copies were received with your endorsement dated the 29th May, 1908, it was decided to take no further action at present with a view to securing a concession for the construction of a line beyond Tengyueh. His Majesty's Minister at Peking accordingly informed the Chinese Government in October 1908 that, while the British Government had no intention of abandoning the claims maintained since 1902, it was willing to leave their discussion in temporary abeyance, and he put before the Chinese Ministers a very moderate scheme, namely, the construction of a railway from the Burmah frontier to Tengyueh on the basis of the terms accepted by China for the Tien-tsin-Pukow line. Sir John Jordan at the same time explained to the Wai-wu Pu that the Tengyueh section would be the natural beginning of railway construction, and that the prolongation of the line to Talifu or Yünnan-fu would doubtless follow. From the correspondence forwarded with your endorsement dated the 5th March, 1909, it appears that the Chinese Government has from time to time assured His Majesty's Minister that the matter is receiving careful consideration, but that great opposition was to be expected from the province of Yunnan, which was bent on keeping railway construction in its own hands. And from Sir John Jordan's despatch dated the 3rd March, 1909, a copy of which was forwarded with your endorsement dated the 20th April, 1909, it appears that at that time consideration of the question had been deferred pending the arrival at Peking of the departing and the new Viceroy of Yunnan. If it is possible to do so, the lieutenant-governor ventures to submit that it is of great importance to expedite a settlement. The Tonking-Yunnan Railway was expected to reach Mengtse in the spring of 1909, the completion of the line being promised early in 1910. It is possible that the line may reach Yunnan-fu as early as November 1909. In the intelligence report of the British consul-general, Yünnan-fu, for the period ending on the 31st March, 1909, it is remarked that:\n\n\"It is generally held in French circles at Mengtse and Yunnan-fu that the Burmah-Yunnan Railway scheme has been abandoned in deference to French protests that it would interfere with French railway projects in Yünnan.”\n\nThe alleged opposition on the part of the people of Yunnan to the proposed railway from Burmah is, the lieutenant-governor believes, a mere invention. Mr. Lilley carried out his surveys in 1905 and 1907 without any opposition, and reported that the people gave every evidence of friendliness. Mr. Coggin-Brown travels in Yünnan without molestation. Intercourse between Burmah and Yunnan is free and friendly, and the British consular and frontier officers are on very good terms with the local Chinese officials. Basing his observation on constant communication with our consular officers during the past four years and on the attitude of the people of Yunnan to our prospectors and explorers, His Honour has no doubt that the whole semblance of opposition has been engineered by a few local officials, and that the suggestion of active opposition by the populace is quite unfounded. The attempts of the local officials to raise funds for the construction of a Chinese railway have proved a total failure, and the lieutenant-governor believes that there is no prospect either that the people of Yunnan will provide the necessary funds to construct a railway or that they will feel or display any genuine hostility if a railway is constructed by foreign capital. His Honour hopes therefore that the Government of India may see their way to press upon His Majesty's Government the urgent need of taking such measures as will induce the Chinese Government to accede to a prompt and reasonable settlement. If the French railway is established and working before effective steps have been taken to ensure the provision of railway communication between Burmah and Yunnan, a serious and probably irretrievable injury will have been inflicted on the prospects of British commerce and of legitimate British influence in Western China.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW. F. RICE, Chief Secretary to the Government of Burmah.",

WITH reference to my despatch No. 376 of the 13th October last, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a further despatch from His Majesty's consul at Newchwang reporting upon the negotiations which are proceeding locally on the subject of the improvement of the navigability of the Liao River.\n\nMr. Wilkinson's despatch explains fully the nature of the new difficulty which has arisen owing to the apparent inability of the Japanese consul to consent to any scheme which involves Japanese contribution to the cost of the upper river improvements; Mr. Wilkinson's compromise project seems to me, however, to meet this objection and to afford a suitable basis for a satisfactory arrangement. If it is adopted, the main difficulty will be to obtain the necessary grant of 200,000 taels from the central Government for the purchase of dredgers and preliminary expenses. The financial position of Manchuria is so unsatisfactory that there is no hope of the money coming from local sources. On the other hand, the central Government are not likely to contribute this sum willingly, in view of their experiences in connection with the conservancy of the Huangpu.\n\nIn the last paragraph of his despatch Mr. Wilkinson suggests that an expression of the Admiralty's views upon Mr. Hughes's scheme for the deepening of the bar would be of material interest, and I would accordingly ask that this question may be referred to them and their opinion communicated to me in due course.\n\n(No. 23.) Sir,\n\nEnclosure in No. 1.\n\nConsul Wilkinson to Sir J. Jordan,\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ. N. JORDAN.\n\nNewchwang, December 20, 1909. I HAVE the honour to report on the progress that has recently been made with the scheme for the improvement of the navigation of the Liao River.\n\nIn my despatch No. 16 of the 28th September last I informed you that the Foreign and Japanese Chambers of Commerce had expressed themselves in favour of the imposition of certain taxes on the trade of the port to assist in defraying the cost of the proposed conservancy works, provided, however, that the deepening of the bar at the mouth of the river was included in the scheme. As this last was quite a new proposal and no expert opinion was available as to the probable cost of effecting any useful improvement in the condition of the bar, it was decided by the consular body that, before jointly addressing the diplomatic body at Peking on the subject, they would ask the taotai to have a survey of the approaches to the river made by Mr. Hughes, the Government engineer, by whom an estimate could then be made of the additional expenditure which the new work would involve.

WITH reference to my despatch No. 376 of the 13th October last, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a further despatch from His Majesty's consul at Newchwang reporting upon the negotiations which are proceeding locally on the subject of the improvement of the navigability of the Liao River.\n\nMr. Wilkinson's despatch explains fully the nature of the new difficulty which has arisen owing to the apparent inability of the Japanese consul to consent to any scheme which involves Japanese contribution to the cost of the upper river improvements; Mr. Wilkinson's compromise project seems to me, however, to meet this objection and to afford a suitable basis for a satisfactory arrangement. If it is adopted, the main difficulty will be to obtain the necessary grant of 200,000 taels from the central Government for the purchase of dredgers and preliminary expenses. The financial position of Manchuria is so unsatisfactory that there is no hope of the money coming from local sources. On the other hand, the central Government are not likely to contribute this sum willingly, in view of their experiences in connection with the conservancy of the Huangpu.\n\nIn the last paragraph of his despatch Mr. Wilkinson suggests that an expression of the Admiralty's views upon Mr. Hughes's scheme for the deepening of the bar would be of material interest, and I would accordingly ask that this question may be referred to them and their opinion communicated to me in due course.\n\n(No. 23.) Sir,\n\nEnclosure in No. 1.\n\nConsul Wilkinson to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ. N. JORDAN,\n\nNewchwang, December 20, 1909, I HAVE the honour to report on the progress that has recently been made with the scheme for the improvement of the navigation of the Liao River.\n\nIn my despatch No. 16 of the 28th September last I informed you that the Foreign and Japanese Chambers of Commerce had expressed themselves in favour of the imposition of certain taxes on the trade of the port to assist in defraying the cost of the proposed conservancy works, provided, however, that the deepening of the bar at the mouth of the river was included in the scheme. As this last was quite a new proposal and no expert opinion was available as to the probable cost of effecting any useful improvement in the condition of the bar, it was decided by the consular body that, before jointly addressing the diplomatic body at Peking on the subject, they would ask the taotai to have a survey of the approaches to the river made by Mr. Hughes, the Government engineer, by whom an estimate could then be made of the additional expenditure which the new work would involve. A letter to this effect was accordingly addressed to the taotai by the senior consul.\n\nI have now to state that our request was at once complied with by the taotai, who, on the 13th ultimo, forwarded to us a copy of the very able report drawn up by Mr. Hughes on the subject. In this report, of which I have the honour to enclose a copy, Mr. Hughes estimates the cost of increasing the depth of the bar by 5 feet, which represents a uniform depth at spring tides of between 23 and 24 feet and is therefore amply sufficient for the requirements of the port, at 482,974 dollars.

Previous to the year 1909 opium formed the predominating influence in the agricultural and economic life of the border population, and although the native chiefs were induced to effect a considerable reduction of crops during the 1908-9 season, they have refused during the past winter substantial decrease in the number of fields which formed the limit of last year's cultivation. In the course of my frontier work during the recent open season I have had opportunities of visiting a considerable portion of the tribal belt, and my own observations, amplified by reliable reports from other sources, lead me to believe that a considerable quantity of the drug is now available for sale from these districts in addition to the amount which will be required for home consumption, but at the same time that the effect of the prohibition has been very definite, and that the Chinese have made the poppy crops a pretext for interference in outlying districts to which they had not previously penetrated. The fact that many fields remain under cultivation cannot be attributed to laxity or bad faith on the part of the local authorities, who have been active in their measures of prevention, but it is a factor in the political life of the province, which can only be affected by the steady advance of Chinese administrative control to the limit of the political frontier. The only effective control which they are now able to exercise over the produce of this zone is in closing the open markets to the sale of the drug, and in refusing to recognise as recoverable debts such advances to cultivators as have regularly been made in the past by Chinese traders who have speculated on the prospects of the crops. These two factors will undoubtedly have weight in gauging the utility of the crop to the farmers, and such control may serve to effect a natural reduction in supply, provided that the demand shows an actual decline. At present the demand is so free and the price so high that the cultivators and smugglers amongst the tribesmen are induced to take considerable risks in the hopes of great reward.\n\nQuality of Local Drug.\n\nIn spite of the proximity of the Burmah frontier, Indian opium never appears to have entered Yunnan, though there is evidence that the poppy has been cultivated in the province for several centuries. The main crop has been Papaver somniferum, with flowers of every colour from pale mauve to the deepest crimson, though fields of entirely white poppies are occasionally seen. It is possible that the latter may be the Papaver officinale, but the farmers state that the white flowers and the brilliantly shaded blossoms are produced from identical seed, and that the colour is affected only by the early or late gathering of the seed, the fresh seed grains producing the white and pale tints, whilst the deeper blooms spring from that which is more mature. Years ago the fertile, well-watered plains round the great cities were covered with poppy during the winter season, but the crop has now entirely vanished from these fields, and cultivation is confined to the more inaccessible mountain tracts even in the tribal zone. The seed is sown in November, and the sap is collected from March until May, the harvest varying considerably with the altitude of the fields.\n\nA few\n\nThe Shans, Kachins, Palaungs, Lohei, and Wa all use the drug, often saturating dried plantain leaves with the juice and smoking them in pipes in the same way as tobacco, and in this form the effects of the drug are much less potent than when smoked in Chinese fashion. The attempts to reduce cultivation in the territories of these outlying races has caused severe trouble, and the sub-prefect of Tengyueh, who is responsible for their good behaviour, narrowly escaped with his life last year after the destruction of some mountain crops. The Kachins frankly admit that they smoke the drug for pleasure, and, remembering the hard and desolate lives to which they are condemned, there is little wonder that there is a craving for such dreams as we have heard of from De Quincey, when there will be revealed \"a far-off hope for human nature, now suffering from some mysterious eclipse and labouring in some dread extremity,\" and, with the Turk, these tribesmen label their one luxury Mash Allah (the gift of God). Beyond this, however, the opium has two real spheres in the life of these people—a medicinal and an economic need—and it is gradually realised even by the local officials that these are factors which cannot be ignored if they intend to carry through a progressive and peaceful policy on the frontier, and to steer a steady course towards the final absorption of the \"barbarians\" in the great family of the sons of Han.\n\nMedicinal Needs.\n\nOn the high plateaux comprising the greater portion of Yunnan, which lies at an altitude of 6,000 feet, and which are inhabited by a hardy race of Chinese average\n\n3\n\nhighlanders, fever is practically unknown, but the country is scored by deep and narrow river-courses such as the Salween, the Mekong, the Red River, and the Shweli, sometimes no higher than 2,000 feet above the sea, and by the damp, fertile valleys which break away towards the Burmah frontier and form the line of the Chinese Shan States. Below an altitude of 4,000 feet the Chinese will not venture, except in the season of dry sunny weather, for the gorges of the rivers and the pent-up valleys are full of a virulent malaria, which at once attacks the men from the higher altitudes, and constantly proves fatal even to the natives. Although the prophylactic properties of quinine are now recognised to some extent, it is impossible to obtain supplies in any quantity, and it is generally and widely realised in the malarial districts of Yünnan, as it was in our own fen country early in the nineteenth century, that opium is invaluable both for prevention and cure. This is the first and greatest need, and, as long as malaria and dysentery claim so many victims in the Shan valleys and Kachin hills, so long will they resist the destruction of their crops with all their force. During six months of the past open season the Tengyueh Road Committee has employed an average number of 300 Chinese soldiers a-day in the construction of a road through the Shan States. There has been such a terrible mortality in other low-lying portions of Yunnan that the men showed great reluctance to go down to the work, but they were regularly treated with quinine, and with the simple and primitive resources at our disposal we endeavoured to shelter them from the dangers of malaria. Our efforts were so far successful that we did not lose a man, and the gangs maintained a high standard of health during the six months that they remained in the Shan States. A few weeks ago, however, the season being finished, the men dispersed to their farms, and when we endeavoured to select six men to remain on the road for purposes of inspection and maintenance it was found that every man among the 300 smoked opium, and they resolutely refused to do without the drug if they were to visit the low-lying tracts. Yet a finer body of men physically could not well be found, and there is no doubt that in spite of the brand of \"opium-sodden,\" which has been applied so constantly to the Yunnanese—they present a splendid physical type, tall, sturdy, enduring, and well-coloured, though few of them were free from the habit until the increasing prices of the past year commenced to place it beyond their reach. There seems little doubt that in places where food is plentiful, as is generally the case throughout Western Yunnan and Szechuan, the opium victim is practically unknown, and it is only in the famine areas that the drug is inclined to eat into a system exhausted by hunger and disease.\n\nEconomic Needs.\n\nA\n\nThe economic need for the opium crop is more wide in its extent and more evident in its application than the medicinal factor, but it would lend itself as readily to available remedies if they could be applied in time. It is estimated that before the prohibition measures were inaugurated from two-thirds to four-fifths of the arable land in the western circuit was under opium crops. The Viceroy, in an impetuous effort to clear the country, disregarded the proposal of a ten years' scheme, and commanded that every poppy should be plucked out within the year—a policy which must have been dictated by a desire for anti-opium notoriety, rather than by any conviction of the needs and welfare of his people. As a result of these vigorous measures a large acreage has been fallow for the past two years and there has been widespread loss among the farmers. The Yunnanese are, however, a quiet and law-abiding race, and it can only be wondered that the troubles were limited by the few and scattered riots which marked the course of 1909. The last rice harvest was abundant throughout the district, and the minds of the people were thus distracted from their grievance, whilst the steady progress of the cities shows that no financial set-back has yet been felt. The situation, however, is not without its anxieties for the more far-seeing of the officials, and they anticipate with dread the next barren year, or even the realisation of losses which will be borne in upon the people in the natural evolution of the next three or four years.\n\nYunnan is a country of difficult communications, land-bound, mountainous, and difficult of access, depending on mule transport for its communication with the outside world. Opium was its ideal product, suited to the soil, the climate, the mountain slopes where no other crop will thrive, of little bulk, too, and unlikely to depreciate under the rough handling of the present transport. Every year a regular flow of silver found its way from Hunan and Canton to Yunnan in exchange for the opium supplies, and every year this silver met the local demand for cotton yarn and comes from foreign cotton cloth, which cannot be produced locally, and now\n\n499",

In the same report, M. de Rijke suggested, as improvement of the river below Upper Gough, the cutting of an entirely new channel from this point to the Yang-tsze. Whatever may be the engineering aspect of this proposal, it was abandoned as impracticable, in consequence of the opposition which was anticipated from the Chinese authorities, to the removal of the mouth of the river from the neighbourhood of Woosung, where forts had been constructed and custom-houses established, and also on the ground that, by the adoption of the project, Woosung, itself a treaty port and important native town, would have been cut off from the sea.\n\nMessrs. Franzius and Bates' Report.\n\n52. In 1902 a German engineer, M. Ludwig Franzius, in conjunction with an American engineer, Mr. Lindon W. Bates, submitted a general report on the river, and put forward, as an alternative to M. de Rijke's scheme, a proposal for the development of the Ship Channel as the main navigation track to Shanghai. One of the principal contentions in this report was that the Ship Channel could be improved and maintained at much less cost than the Junk Channel.\n\nVI—FINAL SCHEME OF IMPROVEMENTS.\n\n53. As already stated (paragraph 26), it was not until 1905 that it was definitely decided to improve the river, and that M. de Rijke was appointed engineer-in-chief. An entirely new survey was proceeded with, it being found, in some reaches, that great changes had occurred.\n\n54. M. de Rijke was not requested to submit a general plan of the works to be constructed prior to the same being commenced, nor was an estimate of their cost prepared, the improvements being carried out generally on the lines laid down in his 1898 report, no modifications of any magnitude or importance being considered, by reason of such changes in the river as had taken place in the meantime.\n\nCommencement of Works.\n\n55. The works were commenced early in 1907, those portions which appeared at the moment to require priority in attention being first taken in hand, the most important being the training works at Woosung and those at the lower end of Gough Island.\n\nThe latter were necessary for the maintenance of Ship Channel and the depth of water over the Inner Bar as then existing, until the time arrived for opening the Junk Channel for navigation. Other subsidiary works for confining or enlarging the channel were also designed at Pheasant Point, Pootung Point, and the Chinese city at Shanghai, as well as many small protective works to the banks at threatened places.\n\n\"Normal Lines.”\n\n56. From the upper limit of the river near Kiangnan Arsenal to the Yang-tsze \"normal lines\" were laid down by M. de Rijke, the width between the same being based on that of the stream in Black Point Reach, which was considered to be the best naturally maintained portion of the river below Shanghai. M. de Rijke's proposals included the cutting back or bringing forward of the low-water margin to confine the stream as far as practicable within the \"normal lines.\" These lines have been adopted by the Whangpoo Conservancy Board, and all structures such as wharves erected in the river, have rightly to be carried out in conformity with the same.\n\nVII—DESCRIPTION OF WORKS ALREADY MENTIONED.\n\n57. The works referred to in this section are shown upon the accompanying drawings Nos. 1 and 2, those coloured green are entirely or almost entirely completed, those coloured red are further proposals considered essential by M. de Rijke but not yet commenced.\n\n58. It should here be mentioned that in the following description the term 'parallel work\" is applied to any structures lying longitudinally with the axis of the stream, whilst the expression \"crib\" is used for any structure at a right angle to the river bank. A \"crib work\" is a combination of a length of \"parallel work\" with one or more \"cribs.\"\n\n59. Generally speaking, the whole of the training works have been carried out on the Dutch system of mattresses loaded and protected with rubble stone. The various forms of fascine work comprising \"zinkstuks,\" \"gabbioni,\" \"laag work,\" referred to in the following paragraphs are described in detail in the appendix to this report.*\n\n60. We propose, in the first instance, to describe the works mentioned above and coloured green, being those which are already either completed or well in progress.\n\nWoosung Fort Jetty.\n\n61. The works at Woosung consist of a training pier known as \"Fort Jetty,\" commencing at the shore lines on the left bank of the river and projecting for a length of about 4,500 feet towards the Yang-tsze, on a curve of 75,000 feet radius. The object of this work is to confine the tidal flow over the site of the outer bar, and to cause the currents to have a true lead into and out of the Whangpoo. At the inner end of the jetty a small \"work harbour\" has been formed for the accommodation of craft engaged in connection with the improvement works. The jetty has also been extended up the river on the \"normal line\" a short distance above the \"work harbour,\" where it is connected with the shore, at its upper end, by a strong crib. A considerable area has been reclaimed at the root of the \"Fort Jetty,\" between the latter and the original shore-line northward of the \"work harbour\" by means of dredgings from the Junk Channel deposited there.\n\n62. Both the jetty and the walls of the \"work harbour\" and sea dyke are built upon \"zinkstuk\" mattresses. The upper part of the jetty is composed of a stone covering, finished with a protective coating of 5-ton concrete blocks. Six rows of piles are driven longitudinally on the line of the jetty which serve to keep in place the stone covering and the concrete blocks.\n\n63. The \"work harbour\" is still being dredged, but the deposit of silt within the enclosure is so rapid that the contractors are experiencing difficulty in providing the required depth of 6 feet at low-water ordinary spring tide simultaneously over the entire area of the basin. The shore-line up-stream of the \"work harbour\" on the concave, or Woosung, side is protected as far as the new railway bund, by Chinese pile and timber work having a stone apron.\n\n64. The whole of the foregoing works, which were practically complete at the commencement of this year, were carried out under a lump-sum contract by the East Asiatic Dredging Company, the price being 1,997,798 Shanghai taels. To this sum must be added 23,326 Shanghai taels for extra works, making the total cost 2,021,124 Shanghai taels.\n\nTraining Works at Gough Island.\n\n65. The works at Gough Island, especially those at the upper end, constitute the most important feature of the improvements which have been carried out on the Whangpoo. The main object of these works was the closing of the Ship Channel and the radical improvement of the Junk Channel by concentrating the whole energy of the tidal movement in the latter.\n\nLow Gough Works.\n\n66. To effect these objects a parallel work of training-bank has been formed at the northern end of the island, on a foundation of \"zinkstuks,\" stretching towards the Yang-tsze for a distance of 5,400 feet. Extending up-stream from the mainland near Pheasant Point, a second parallel work has been constructed, also formed mostly of \"zinkstuks\" and joined to the shore by a crib. The opening between the ends of these two main parallel banks is 1,400 feet in width, and whilst these works are of assistance in directing the tidal flow into Junk Channel, the considerable width of the opening between the ends of the banks permits, for such time as is desirable, of the easy ingress and egress of tidal water into what is now a cul-de-sac, formerly the site of the old Ship Channel, which under existing conditions will in course of time naturally silt up.\n\n[2958 hA--1]\n\n* Not printed.\n\nF\n\n400",

It has been proved that, by the use of the colour-screen, negatives can be produced giving the sensations of the three primary colours, and these can be combined to leave a fairly harmonious picture; but it has been well stated that the results obtained by superposed pigmented bichromated gelatine (successively yellow, red, and blue), printed from colour-selection negatives at very uncertain and often far from satisfactory.\n\nOne of the chief features which distinguish the new polychromide process, patented by Mr. Acon Hamburger, of the Dover Street Studios, from many others is the use of a mechanism which enables the three plates to be taken simultaneously at a single exposure. In order to overcome certain difficulties inherent in this principle, Hamburger employs both reflection and refraction, and he has succeeded in so balancing the intensities of each that the perfect colour-stone rendering is obtained. A scale of shades of the standard colours has been prepared, in which the yellow inclines slightly to orange, the red to crimson, and the blue to green; that is to say, in lieu of being true primaries, the tints are in each case somewhere merged the one into the other. These shades are standardized, so that by means of the special developer used in the camera and the sensitized printing paper, with the above standard tints, any photographer should be able to attain accurate results. Two plates not on three are employed, each is sensitized to photograph one colour only.\n\nThe plate and the film are put together into one slide, with the emulsions in contact, the film thus serving the purpose of screening the plate. A print is made from the blue negative upon a rapid gelatine paper, which is turned into the yellow image. Prints in gelatine containing double salts are prepared from the other two negatives and transferred to a temporary support of glass. They are then superposed on the original yellow print by stripping. Though so far Mr. Hamburger has worked only by the aid of artificial flashlight, using a special compound to impart the requisite active properties, he does not anticipate obstacles in adapting the process to ordinary daylight. The camera takes the three pictures through a single lens and a single shutter, and it is found possible to have the register of the pictures perfectly accurate. The success of this process appears to depend upon the skill with which the spectrum has been split up, so that there is either no gap nor overlap, and therefore no colour is either lost or doubled. Specimens of the results yielded by the new process include not only serious portraits, in which the delicate flesh tints, the hair, and the minute details on the costume of the sitters are reproduced in complete harmony and in true colours, but also copies of paintings by the Old Masters in which the values due to low tone and false tints are successfully overcome.\n\n## NEWS OF THE WORLD\n\n[Telegrams from London]\n\n**The King of Greece**\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens wires that an eye-witness of the scene said that the King was standing at the corner of Aghistas Street, which is near the Police Headquarters, when an assassin rushed out of a hiding place and drew a big revolver from close quarters at His Majesty.\n\nThe Aide-de-Camp, Colonel Frangoulis, drew his revolver, whereupon the assassin turned round and fired twice upon the Colonel.\n\nTwo Cretan gendarmes then dashed up and arrested the assassin, who offered no resistance.\n\nColonel Frangoulis ran to the King, thinking His Majesty had not been hit, but found that he had fastened to the ground and was only half conscious.\n\nColonel Frangoulis raised the King in his arms, but His Majesty did not utter a word.\n\nSome notes and cartridges were found on the assassin.\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens says the man refuses to speak except to say, \"I will speak in the presence of the King.\"\n\n**King George V**\n\nThe King, accompanied by Queen Alexandra, visited Queen Mary at Marlborough House.\n\nThe outrage has aroused worldwide condolences and universal expressions of horror.\n\nA dispatch from Salonika to \"The Times\" regarding the assassination of the King of Greece says the King was in the habit of walking out every afternoon with a single servant, refusing requests made by his advisers to permit the presence of guards.\n\nYesterday, he was talking happily of the war and the successes of the Greek army as a long delayed triumph to his reign and said: \"Tomorrow I pay a final visit to the Dreadnought Goeben. It is with happiness and contentment that a German battleship should honour the Greek King at Salonika.\" These proved to be His Majesty's last words, for at that moment the assassin...\n\nThe Aide-de-Camp, Colonel Frangoulis, seized the hands of the assassin, which was poised for a second shot. Covering his Royal master with his body, Colonel Frangoulis grabbed the assailant by the throat and held him fast till soldiers came to his aid.\n\nThe English public are profoundly affected by the tragedy, which is an additional bereavement in Queen Alexandra's family. There were many references to the tragedy by public men at meetings held yesterday, and last night, wide pages of the papers were devoted to tributes.\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens says that all Greece is grief-stricken. The Prince George and others gently broke the news to the Queen, who fainted several times.\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens also reports that it appears that the assassin is weak-minded, and a victim of alcohol. He is a native of Greece. He was twice dismissed from a school where he was employed as an attendant and he petitioned the King, who referred the matter to the proper quarter, which rejected the petition.\n\n## British Affairs\n\nIn introducing the Army Estimates in the House of Commons, Col. Seely, Minister of War, dwelt on the extraordinary apprehension regarding aviation. He pointed out that the officers' never allowed performances to be published, and consequently remarkable achievements went unnoticed.\n\nHe affirmed that they did not possess any Zeppelins because they were not required.\n\nIt was decided to have some transportable dirigibles, and they would also possess 14 aeroplanes by May. Publicity were obviously marked for an expeditionary remount, and they could not reinforce the Egyptian garrison or the Indian troops. They had obtained a type of aeroplane superior to that of any nation. The difficulty was in regard to the engine, as he was offering a prize in this connection with the promise of a large purchase.\n\nThe Minister, Mr. H. Samuel (Postmaster General) and Sir Rufus Isaacs (Attorney General) obtained judgment with costs against the French newspaper \"La Muflin\" for libel in connection with statements published relating to the Marconi affair. The newspaper admitted the statements to be false and apologized.\n\nCounsel for the defence unreservedly accepted the denials of the Ministers that they were in any way concerned with dealings in Marconi shares.\n\nDelous Wattoit, Unionist Free Trader, has been returned to Parliament for the Kendal Division. The polling was:\n\n| Candidate | Votes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Col. Weston (U.) | 3,241 |\n| Mr. Somervell (C) | 1,680 |\n|  | 581 |\n\nUnionist Majority\n\nMr. Bone, in addressing the members of the Manchester Unionist Association, said that Kendal, in electing Colonel Weston, who refused to support the policy announced by the Party leaders, really voted no confidence in the late Government. If the party refused to act unitedly and would act following the leader, it was his duty to give place to another; and he would perform that duty if circumstances arose.\n\nThe result of the Houghton-le-Spring by-election was:\n\n| Candidate | Votes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Mr. Wing (L) | 930 |\n| Mr. Richardson (C) | 4,807 |\n| Mr. Modles (L) | 4,185 |\n\nThe motion by Mr. Harold Smith for a reduction of the Home Office vote was defeated by 224 votes to 100.\n\nThe two Irish prisoners who had been sentenced for five days in Cold Bath Fields prison and to whom shamrocks were sent down on St. Patrick's Day have been rescued.\n\nFrom Port Said, it is reported that the steamer \"Melen\" has shipped £50,000 in gold for Singapore.\n\n## Affairs in China\n\nThere is much published in the Russian press regarding impending war between Russia and China. This is partly based on reported Chinese preparations for an advance on Urga, in defiance of Russia.\n\nIt is announced from St. Petersburg that M. Mueller, the Consul General at Tabriz, is proceeding to Urga as Consul-General, the consulate there being upgraded to a Consulate-General.\n\n## ENDER ENTIRELY NEW SIGN ON KHEN\n\n**EXCELLENT COLON**\n\nModerate Rates\n\nM.

Sir, \n\nPeking, November 12, 1913. WITH reference to my despatch No. 298 of the 24th July, I have the honour to enclose copies of reports from His Majesty's consul at Kiukiang, together with copy of a note addressed to the Minister for Foreign Affairs on the subject of the request of the Chinese Government that Kiangsi might be placed on the list of provinces into which Indian opium shall not be conveyed. \n\nThe reports from His Majesty's consul do not present a severe indictment against Kiangsi, but contain nevertheless sufficient evidence to maintain that the province has not effectively suppressed the cultivation and importation of native opium, as required by article 3 of the 1911 agreement, \n\nIn ordinary circumstances, perhaps, the request to place Kiangsi on the prohibition list might have been treated with some indulgence. In view, however, of the illegal restrictions against Indian opium in the provinces, the shrinkage of the outlets for the Shanghai stocks, the hostile attitude of the provincial authorities towards the free circulation of Indian opium, as provided for by treaty, and the avowed determination of the National Anti-opium Society, led and abetted by Mr. Thwing, an American citizen, to employ every expedient within their power to prevent further sales of the stocks of Indian opium at Shanghai and Hong Kong, it seemed to me advisable that a strict adherence should be made to the letter of the agreement. \n\nI have, therefore, declined to place Kiangsi forthwith on the list of provinces into which Indian opium shall not be conveyed, but have expressed my readiness, in accordance with article 4 of the 1911 agreement, to arrange for the investigation next spring on the lines of the joint inspections carried out in Shantung, Anhui, and Hunan this year. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nB. ALSTON. \n\nEnclosure 1 in No. 1. \n\nConsul King to Mr. Alston. \n\n(No. 31.) Sir, \n\nKiukiang, September 18, 1913. WITH reference to your despatch No. 13 of the 24th July, 1913, and your telegram No. 18 of yesterday's date, I have the honour to report that, on my arrival here recently, finding Mr. L. Giles had omitted to deal with the matter, I immediately took steps to endeavour to ascertain what was being done in Kiangsi province with regard to the effective suppression of the cultivation and import of native opium. \n\nThe information embodied in this despatch is, I am afraid, of a meagre description, but I hope to be able to furnish further information at an early date, when the missionaries have returned to their stations from Kuling and other summer resorts. \n\nCultivation. With regard to cultivation, it would seem that, on the whole, a favourable report can be made. In this connection, however, it must be borne in mind that Kiangsi has never been one of the provinces in which opium has been cultivated to any great extent. \n\nMr. Lewis, of the Asiatic Petroleum Company (Limited), who travelled through the districts to the east and south of the Poyang Lake, namely Jaochow-fu, Kingtehchen, Lopinghsien, Lyanghsien, Kweikihsien, Kwangsin-fu, Kian-fu, Fuchow-fu, and the surrounding country, in March and April of last year and this year, informs me that he observed no signs of poppy cultivation, while I learn from other sources that Kienchanghsien and Changshu are free from opium growing. \n\nOn the other hand, the information I have received from Yuanchow-fu is not so satisfactory. \n\nMr. R. W. Porteous, of the China Inland Mission, writing from Yüanchow-fu, \n\nsays:- \n\n11943 dd-1 \n\n-1]",

        "content_text": "## 540\n\n\n4 \n\nIn my opinion there is at the present time no opium being cultivated in the north of this province, except, perhaps, in very small quantities in very well concealed places. If such is cultivated it is probably not for consumption, but for the sake of the seed, which the farmers hope to keep alive till the present crisis is passed. At present the death penalty which is being inflicted on opium growers does not seem to have any legal sanction, but the civil Governor has just stated that this is to be remedied shortly, and that death will be the statutory punishment for opium cultivators.\n\nIn conclusion, I wish to record my appreciation of the unfailing courtesy and assistance of my two colleagues, and of the efforts of the Provincial Government, whose guest I was, and who did their utmost to make my journey as pleasant as possible. Our route not being known, every magistrate had instructions to be ready to receive and assist us, and some of them were put to a great deal of difficulty and inconvenience.\n\nI append a sketch showing my route.*\n\n(No. 11.) Sir,\n\nI have, &c.\n\nA. D. BLACKBURN.\n\n## Enclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\n**Consul Little to Sir J. Jordan.**\n\nAmoy, April 2, 1914.\n\nI HAVE the honour to forward herewith, with reference to your telegram No. 1 of the 27th January, a report by Mr. W. P. W. Turner on a journey of investigation into the cultivation of the opium poppy in South Fukien.\n\n## Enclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nH. A. LITTLE.\n\n**Report on a Journey of Investigation into the Cultivation of the Opium Poppy in South Fukien, jointly with Officials appointed by the Chinese Government, by Mr. Turner.**\n\nTHE delegates selected by the Central and Provincial Governments respectively were Mr. Sou Gee Chuang, an official of the Board of the Interior, and Mr. Chan Pai Kong, Taotai of Foochow and President of the Anti-Opium Bureau of Fukien. Mr. E. Cheers, of the Straits Settlement Police Service, acted as interpreter in the Amoy dialect, which is current in all the districts visited except Hing Hua, Sien Yu, and Hok Ching, south of Foochow.\n\nA rough map is attached showing the route taken, which embraced all the former principal poppy-growing centres of South Fukien. The distance covered was approximately 1,600 li, or 530 English miles, the journey occupying twenty-five days—from the 23rd February to the 19th March. In all, seventeen districts were examined out of a total of thirty-two comprised in the lower portion of the province.\n\nIn the first district visited, that of Hai Teng, the vigorous measures taken in the autumn by the local authorities checked extensive sowing, though a certain amount was discovered by the opium inspector in January and uprooted. In the spring of 1913 Captain Connelly, of the Hong Kong garrison, whilst on a shooting expedition, found large areas under poppy cultivation in the vicinity of Chhe Nia and the authorities taking no apparent action, but a local convert of Kang Boe, a neighbouring village, informed me that this region is now quite free. From reports of native pastors I also learned that no poppy now existed in the broad belt of coast land south of Amoy and Hai Teng. (I have since heard from a missionary that he travelled through the whole of this country at the beginning of March without finding a trace of poppy.)\n\nForeigners who had recently made the journey from Changpu to Amoy having reported that the main route via U Sai had been cleared of poppy, I chose the northern road from Hai Teng, which branches off due west at Peh Chui Ying, turning south again at Koan Jim through the Tng Kio and Kio Li. As far as could be judged, this part of the country was now almost entirely given up to rice cultivation, the Nan Ch'i River and its tributaries affording an abundant water supply. Between Tng Kio, where we were met by a military officer in charge of 700 soldiers sent to uproot the poppy, and Changpu several fields where opium had been pulled up were passed, these being readily distinguished from the fact that, having been confiscated, they were now overgrown with weeds. Last spring this region was one of the chief poppy-growing centres of the district. As far as I could gather the soldiers arrived in December, meeting with no little resistance before the plant was eventually all destroyed.\n\nThe Changpu authorities appear to have counterbalanced their indifference of last spring, when there was extended cultivation throughout the district, by extreme severity in the autumn. Mr. Watson, of the English Presbyterian Mission at Changpu, told me that he was prepared to state positively that not a plant remained in the whole country between Changpu and Hai Teng, with the possible exception of a small patch hidden in a secluded valley near Toa Pu, of which he had heard many vague rumours. Mr. Watson's opinions were based partly on the declarations of the native pastors of his district at a recent conference at O Sai, and partly on personal observation during his periodical visits to native mission stations.\n\nFrom Changpu to Yunsiao the road lies for some 8 or 9 miles over a broad, sandy, barren plain up to a range of hills some 1,200 feet high, crossed by a low pass, with a fertile valley producing rice, sugar-cane, barley, and beans on the other side. From Pan To Hsu to Yunsiao the country is too hilly to suit the poppy, which requires the rich soil of the plains and a sheltered situation to thrive to perfection, and the task of the local authorities has accordingly been comparatively light. I learned that the district opium inspector had conducted a very strict examination in October and November last, whilst the magistrate himself informed me that of the thirty days he had been in office twenty had been spent in scouring the country for any heads that might have eluded the observation of the inspector and his staff. Native reports confirmed the magistrate's assurance that no poppy was now left in the district.\n\nAt Chao An I called on Father David de Miguel of the Roman Catholic Mission, who informed me that it was possible that a small quantity of poppy might still remain in the second \"tu\" or division of the magistracy, though the magistrate had a few weeks previously, on hearing of the tour of inspection, made a journey in person through this region and had a thorough uprooting. He was unable to say for certain if all had been removed, but assured me that the rest of the district was free, the people having been thoroughly scared by the arrival of the northern soldiers. The present magistrate, Mr. Chang Tseng Pa, has held office for six months. His predecessor took no steps to put a stop to the cultivation of the poppy, for which and for general maladministration he was eventually arrested and sent to Foochow for trial. Mr. Chang, on the other hand, has the reputation of being a very keen suppressionist and an able official; at the beginning of his campaign he was placed in a difficulty by the opposition of the gentry, of whom a few leading members were financially interested in the cultivation of the drug, and were supporting the farmers in resisting the authorities. Mr. Chang promptly arrested two of the most influential, and has since had the support of the remainder. He told me that barley and tobacco were largely replacing the former opium crops. This applies in fact to the whole of the country west of Changchow, the large areas under tobacco, the leaf of which is, however, of an inferior quality, being particularly noticeable.\n\nThe country between Chao An and Ping Ho, on the borders of Kuangtung province, is little frequented by foreigners, and no reports had been received regarding the opium measures in force there. Consequently, although this part of the province has never had the reputation of being a large opium-producing centre, I was anxious to discover whether as clean a sweep had been made as in those districts nearer to the control of the high provincial authorities. Practically the whole of the 60 miles between Chao An and Ping Ho is mountainous, but the hill slopes are mostly under terrace cultivation and the valleys rich with a vast variety of native crops, rice, barley, sugar-cane, and sweet potatoes being the staple products.\n\nAfter leaving Chao An we passed through the second \"tu\" of the district, where I had been informed there was a possibility of finding poppy, but I discovered neither traces of it nor signs of recently disturbed fields. This is probably explained by the fact that in practice confiscated land is frequently sold back to the village or clan to which it belonged, the penalty for growing the forbidden plant being thus a double fine. As regards the Ping Ho district, little pressure was required to induce the farmers to abandon cultivation, and it had not been found necessary to call for troops.\n\nAt Sio Khe a local missionary informed me that suppression measures had been most severe, and that, so far as the strict enquiries he had made went, the district was quite free from poppy. A native pastor had, however, informed him that a small patch...",

        "content_text": "# Page Four\n\n## An Imaginary Interview With Carnival Director Dean\n\nMills Dean, the Director General of the 1915 Carnival, was finally located by our reporter at the rehearsal of \"Defending Their Homes\" on the Carnival grounds. He was in earnest conversation with Dr. Cox, Dr. Robinson, Mr. Batchelder, and Col. Johnson from Rome, Georgia, boyhood friend of Mrs. Wilson and now here directing the census. Mills explained to the scribe: \"You see, this spectacular drama must not only be attractive but it must be historically accurate in every detail. This pirate Tamah is fierce, and I would like to have Mr. Batchelder take that role, but he wishes to have a sea scene, the sinking of a passenger ship. We can't have that. He wants to save the ladies by putting life-belts on them. I don't want a sea drama. I want his views on how the fierce wild tribes ought to act. I want expert advice on savages from him. Then Col. Johnson is from the South and these Tamah pirates are supposed to come up from the south. He wants to have them all stop fighting and do a buck and wing dance and have a glee club quartette sing 'Georgia, Georgia, Over All', but you see how impossible it would be to give it local U.S.A. color. Dr. Robertson suggested that one side be chosen from the subscribers to 'Consolidacion Nacional' while the other be selected from the Vanguardia readers and arm both parties with stuffed clubs and let the tocsin ring and the people would get their money's worth, but this does not appeal to me. I want to have harmony. Dr. Cox has some of the clearest views, but I am sorry I cannot incorporate them into the show. He wants the dialogues written in the ancient Polynesian-Indico-Ibernica language which, according to undisputed authorities, might have been spoken here 1635 years ago or more correctly 280 A.D. He contends, and I think with force of reason, that all the private colleges would come and it would be a feast of reason as well as a flow of soul. But I think the general public wants something stirring so we have all collaborated and have produced this last word in dramatic art.\"\n\n\"I must express my admiration of the beautiful scenery and large conception, Mr. Mills.\"\n\n\"Oh, that was done by our esteemed and talented Sr. José Viñas of the Spanish Opera Co. He also has taken great pains to coach me in acting all the leading parts. You see, I stand ready to fill any part. It may be that one of the actors wants to go to a ball on a certain night, and if that happens you will find me right there with the goods and take his part without a hitch. Oh, it is not only in this great drama that I have become proficient, but I have made it a duty to be an understudy for every attraction in the Hubbub. I state it modestly that I am prepared to take Mme. Garcia's place in the bell-defying plunge through space in the dinky automobile. I have also given lots of attention running the Old Dutch Windmill. Boss La Pointe has volunteered to be understudy for Wa-wa, the Borneo missing link. I had some difficulty in successfully learning the parts in the Chinese playhouse. Of course, you know I would only be called on to play the leading parts because the minor parts can be filled by others and if they bungle it won't be so noticeable. These Chinese dramas continue on for two weeks and unless one gets thoroughly into the spirit of the play he cannot do it justice, but I may not be called on to act. I shudder to think of how I would correctly act the part of the Samar twins. It has been suggested that if they are indisposed and cannot show that act be suspended and I have about decided that this is the best solution because it would never do to only act half of the twins or in any other way do less than perfection.\"\n\n\"Mr. Dean, then nothing has been left to chance. You are bound to make it a success. What other features do you emphasize?\"\n\n\"There are the three parades. I have given them personal attention. I wanted Major Hartigan to take complete charge but he begged off. He said he wished to be foot loose and frisk about and have some fun with the boys. I have got a lot of real startling effects for the parades. The Japanese have taken a hold in great style as have the Chinese and when the boy scouts are masqueraded and their identity is hidden they will 'cut up dog' for fare-ye-well. Oh, it is all doped out and is going to be a hummer. Of course, the balls each night are a specialty by themselves. I shall naturally have to shape their course and destiny and now that the constabulary band is not here I will have to give special attention to the music. I have thought some of having a snare drum in the orchestra to keep up the spirit of the Escuela de Baile. Opinion is divided. There are those who declare they cannot dance without the drum while others want variety and have the drum cut out. I have been giving several hours a day with the brass bands putting life and ginger into them. Their technique is fairly good and if I get their morale improved I will have gained much.\"\n\n\"Mr. Dean, I really had no idea of the vast amount of work you have done. How did you ever dare to undertake it?\"\n\n\"Well, as one becomes accustomed to responsibilities one gets to carrying a few more on an ever-increasing ratio until the whole frame becomes a machine to do more and there is then no longer any limit to what the will power can force the unwilling body to do, but as each day sees its task well done there is the compensating reward of a contented mind. And now if you will please excuse me I see a duty before me. I have daily taken the young ladies who sell the chocolates on an imaginary round to accustom them to the routine and I see they are waiting for me as usual and the most possible must be made of the few days to insure thoroughness in every detail.\"\n\n## O'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\n### One On Cooper\n\nOle Olsen, the descendant of Eric the Red, the Viking king that beat Columbus to America by a century or two, now and then between times when he is shipping cigars to the States by the million or so, indulges in a little visit to the house of a friend out near the new reservoir. Ole went there last Sunday and spent some little time in looking over his friend's garden patch. Ole is some farmer himself. He says that when he was living back in Norway on the side of an iceberg, he often used to see pictures of trees and flowers and grain growing in the green fields and he thought that if he could ever get some place where winter did not last eleven months and a half every year he would turn farmer. Ole has a nice little garden around his place near the gas-house and quite frequently he attires himself in some old clothes that he had especially imported from the States to do the part right in, and ambles forth among the cabbage patches and the cucumber vines to fool the birds. Ole is the original thing in scarecrows when he gets properly togged out in his farmer costume. Well, to get back where we started. Ole was looking his friend's place over when he noticed that the pump would not work. Immediately he called his host's attention to the fact and suggested that he buy one of Henry Cooper's hot air pumps. His friend replied that Cooper was a pretty regular caller and thought that there was no necessity for buying a pump as Cooper's conversation could be used and this would cost nothing.\n\n### The breeze has been blowing some cooler Plaza Moraga this week.\n\n### Clever\n\nThat story printed in one of the daily papers about the possibility of the Igorot Scouts not being permitted to take part in the military parade because of their lack of pants, was certainly a clever piece of publicity. All over town people were talking about it and some of the rumors were that Major-General Barry had delivered an ultimatum that if the scouts from the hill country could not parade then there would be no parade of any of his troops. Quite a little excitement was stirred up about the matter. The carnival publicity man deserves a medal for putting that one over.\n\n### Paper Suppressed\n\nDublin, Ireland, Dec. 3. - The newspaper Sinn Fein did not appear today. The publishers of this journal refused to print in consequence of having been warned by the authorities that they would be liable to prosecutions for the publication of treasonable matter.\n\nThis is the second step in the suppression of Irish publications which have been opposing enlistment and expressing pro-German sentiments. The police last night raided the office of the Irish Freedom, a monthly publication, and confiscated all copies of the paper offered for sale on the news stands.\n\n## O'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\n### Manila Ethics\n\nCommissioner Dennison has decreed that a municipal doctor, paid by public funds, can refuse to attend any call for his services even in critical cases, if it is contrary to his established code of professional ethics.\n\nFor the benefit of those who have not seen the account of the case in question we will briefly state the main facts. An infant child of Capt. Hill of the Cavite naval ferry was taken with severe convulsions during the Captain's absence. Several women who live near went to the assistance of Mrs. Hill, and one was sent out to summon a doctor. This woman saw Dr. Catalino Nicolas, municipal doctor of Cavite, sitting in the drug store smoking and talking, and she rushed to him. She stated to him that Hill's baby was very sick and asked him to come at once. This doctor, paid out of public funds presumably to attend urgent cases, refused and stated as they had Dr. Victoriano before let them get him again and he would not go. Thanks to a merciful Providence the child did not die and this cold-blooded doctor did not have the joy of telling everybody in Cavite what an awful mistake it is to ever hire the other doctor because the other doctor turned up just in time and saved the child's life.\n\nThe public of Cavite asked Capt. Hill to report this matter because if this is the kind of spite that is worked out on a paying patient, what hope is there to get this doctor to visit a poor patient in time of need?\n\nThe accused doctor simply smiled when the charges were made. He knew that the influence that put him in office would keep him there. In answer to the charges he said he \"understood\" that he was merely wanted for consultation and that he did not want to look after somebody else's patients. His superior, Com. Dennison, figuratively speaking, patted him on the back and intimated to him that when an urgent call comes and he does not wish to violate professional ethics all he needs to do is to telephone the undertaker and coroner to go to a certain house and his ethical duties as municipal doctor will be quite fully and satisfactorily discharged.\n\nOh! for one hour of stern Worcester, whose shadow falling on Dennison would make that pigmy look like a man.\n\n### From Another Angle\n\nThe \"Free Press\" publishes the following just appreciation of agricultural specialist Prautch, but seems to err in thinking that Prautch has been the chief sufferer in not being paid a salary. We desire to interject this idea. The people have been deprived of more than Mr. Prautch has; they have lost possible crops and prosperity.\n\nWe fully concur with the \"Free Press\" as far as it goes and print the editorial to give it wider publicity:\n\n#### Prautch Redivivus\n\n\"A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country. For ten years past a man by the name of Prautch has been dinning into our ears that in spite of the sad fate of Lipa, coffee can be grown in the Philippines and on a large scale with every assurance of success. Now a Mr. Strauss, a practical planter from Java, confirms what Mr. Prautch has been saying. The trouble with Mr. P. is that he was not born in Kansas and can't qualify as a \"boy expert.\" It is not so very long ago that 19,000 was paid Professor Waters from Kansas, who never saw the tropics till he came to the Philippines, to come over and tell us all about the land we live in. It was the old story of what was new was not good and what was good was not new, among the \"new\" being a fairy tale to the effect that locusts take a trip down from the hills once every ten years. And that is just about the length of time that Mr. Prautch has been \"doing his voice-in-the-wilderness stunt.\" But he never got any twelve thousand pesos. No, he is just a prophet, not a professor, and he doesn't hail from Kansas.\"\n\n# Page Five\n\n## Answers To Correspondents\n\n| Name | Response |\n| --- | --- |\n| Burdett | The mistake you made was very natural.

        "content_text": "## Memorandum on the Tin Industry in Kokiu Yunnan. 1914.\n\n### Introduction\n\nKokiu is the largest tinfield in China. The ore is contained mainly in a residual clay formed by de-calcification (more or less superficial) of limestone and can be concentrated by repeated washing. As far as the character of the ore is concerned, native methods of treatment are probably quite effective. These methods, however, have several defects:\n\n1. Owing to the high altitude, and the cavernous character of the limestone, no water is available for washing during the winter and spring seasons, so that ore mines in the dry season have to be treated in Summer and autumn. The output is therefore directly dependent on the rainfall; and the capital invested during spring and winter can yield no return for eight or nine months.\n\n2. The quantity of charcoal used in smelting by the native method is considerable. When the ore is well dressed, the output of metallic tin per day of 24 hours amounts to 1500 catties for each furnace, over 3000 catties of charcoal being consumed. The total consumption for the whole district exceeds 23,700,000 catties of charcoal per year. The forests within easy reach are being rapidly exhausted. At the present time, the price of charcoal is about $2.7 per picul, so that for every ton of tin produced, the cost of smelting amounts to $200. Hence, the cost of production becomes very heavy.\n\n3. The tin thus produced has many impurities and is generally refined in Hongkong. Again, each slab of tin is different in quality. Owing to the inability to produce tin of uniform quality, even from the same tapping, the metal cannot be directly sold on the foreign market.\n\nThe",

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

        "content_text": "# \n## 106\n\nThe province was practically clean of the poppy (except for a slight recrudescence at the time of the revolution of 1911) for some years, until cultivation recommenced during 1918 and 1919 in the extreme west near the borders of the tribal country, and also in the east along the Yang-tsze above and below Chungking. No reliable reports have been received in regard to the situation in the west, but, as regards the east of the province, His Majesty's consul at Chungking reports that there is conclusive evidence to show that considerable progress has been made towards suppression again.\n\nAs regards Kueichou, His Majesty's consul-general at Yunnan-fu reports that every encouragement short of written authority has been given by the provincial authorities to grow the poppy, and that a special bureau under the guise of a Military Accounts Department has been instituted to collect the revenue from the opium produced. The opium has been seen growing in the districts of Chenyuan, Shihping, Hsinchow, Huanping, Chingping, Pingyueh, Huanghsien, Kueiting, Lungli, Kueiyang, Chingchen, Anping, Anshun, Ch'ienhsi, and Chihchin, and in the month of May, the reaping of the opium crop was paralysing all other work.\n\nAs regards Yunnan, reports state that opium was grown this year in the districts of Chaotung, Tungchuan, Lutien, Kutsing, Luchuan, Wuting, Hsuntien, Yuanmow, Karwa, Kwangnan, Tengchung, Likiang, Chienchuan, Hoching, and elsewhere; in fact, generally speaking, almost all over the province where the soil and climate are suitable. In one district, the price of opium was 1 dollar per ounce in February, 50 cents in March, and 30 cents in May.\n\n## Manchuria (Fengtien, Kirin, Heilungchiang)\n\nA small amount of cultivation has been carried on in mountainous parts on the borders of the three provinces, notably on the Korean frontier. The inspecting officials are no doubt often squared, but inspection and suppression are by no means easily carried out in these wild regions.\n\n## Hsinchiang\n\nReports on the cultivation of the poppy this spring in Chinese Turkestan have not yet been received.\n\n## Summary\n\nTo sum up, the poppy is shown to have been cultivated on a fairly extensive scale this season in the following provinces: Shensi, Hunan, Hupei, Honan, Fukien, Kueichou, Yunnan, and Szechuan. The Southern authorities are nominally responsible for the cultivation in Hunan, Hupei, Fukien, Kueichou, Yunnan, and Szechuan; and the Peking Government for cultivation in Fukien, Honan, and Shensi. In general, it may be taken that the military authorities, who are in most cases a law unto themselves, and whom the Southern and Northern Governments cannot or dare not coerce into obedience, are entirely to blame for the cultivation which continues.\n\n## June 1920\n\n## No. 46\n\n**Mr. Clive to Earl Curzon**.-(Received January 28, 1921.)\n\nMy Lord,\n\nPeking, November 27, 1920. I HAVE the honour to transmit herewith a copy of correspondence with the Wai-chiao Pu respecting opium cultivation in the province of Fukien.\n\nAs your Lordship will observe, the attitude of the Chinese authorities towards the question gives every cause for dissatisfaction. Not only Fukien but very many other provinces of China are drifting rapidly back to the state of things existing before the opium treaties, and the amount of opium now grown - more or less openly - in China is so great as to make the attempt to kill the abuse by preventing importation from abroad little more than a farce. One result of this lamentable condition is that Chinese-grown opium is constantly smuggled from place to place within the country, and it is a cause of bitter complaint by British owners of Yang-tsze steamers that their ships are frequently stopped and penalised by the customs authorities because smuggled opium has been found on board, having been stowed away by members of the native crew helped by accomplices on shore without the knowledge of the ship's officers or any of the Europeans concerned. The difficulty of detecting the hidden opium during the voyage is, of course, very great when the crew are banded together, and resolute action against smuggling by the ship's officers has, in at least one recent case, resulted in the murder of the zealous officer.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n## Enclosure 1 in No. 46\n\n**Wai-chiao Pu to Mr. Clive**\n\nR. H. CLIVE.\n\n(Translation.) Sir,\n\nAugust 2, 1920. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Sir Beilby Alston's letter of the 12th May, in which he enclosed three photographs of poppy fields in full bloom in the province of Fukien, two in a part under northern jurisdiction and one under southern jurisdiction. The latter expressed the hope that an example would be made of those responsible.\n\nOn receipt of the above letter, this Ministry wrote to the officer occupying the joint posts of Military and Civil Governor requesting him secretly to send an officer to the localities concerned for the purpose of making an investigation. From the reply which has now been received from him, it is learnt that, disregarding the photograph of poppy fields in a part of Fukien under southern jurisdiction, he handed the remaining two photographs to the former magistrate of Te-hua district, Li Hung-chou, and to his own aide-de-camp, Liu Chin-yung, and despatched these officers to make a close examination of the localities concerned. He had subsequently received from them the following joint report :-\n\n\"We proceeded together on the 1st June with all speed to the territory of P'u-t'ien, and after exhaustive search in all directions discovered not so much as the trace of a single poppy plant within the lines occupied by our forces. But at Hue-t'ing and Hou Shan, two places on the boundary of the Tien and Hsien-yu districts, opium has been illicitly cultivated in a few places, and here Mr. Cole took a couple of photographs. These two places are both some 10 miles from the district city, and taking the distance into consideration, they are probably the two photographs of places referred to in the British Minister's note as being within northern jurisdiction. Thus, there can be no doubt that the places where the photographs were taken were Hua-t'ing and Hou Shan.\n\n\"Now these two localities are in the neutral ground between the northern and southern lines. In general, the troops keep strictly within their own lines for fear lest, by crossing the boundary agreed upon, misunderstandings and collisions might arise. In consequence, the above two places were rarely visited by our forces, with the result that a few of the stupid and ignorant country people, greedy for their petty profits, engaged in illicit cultivation. Subsequently, the district magistrate, Pao Wei, discovered the state of affairs, and wrote on the 28th April requesting Colonel Wang Hsien Ch'en to send his aide-de-camp Ch'en K'an to the locality in order to enforce the uprooting of the crop, and the country was then cleared of the poppy. The remainder of the Pu Han territory is entirely under northern control, and in none of the places through which we passed was there any trace of the poppy.\"\n\nThe Military Governor, when forwarding the above report, observes that it appears that the two photographs sent by the British Minister were taken at places in the neutral zone between the northern and southern lines, and that as soon as poppy cultivation was discovered, officers were sent to uproot it and clear the country of the crop; it can be seen that he, in his capacity of Military and of Civil Governor, together with his subordinates, has been not insincere in his efforts to suppress opium. The Governor requests me to write to you in accordance with his reply.\n\nIn transmitting the above to you for your information, I avail, &c.\n\n**(Seal of the Wai-chiao Pu)**\n\n## 107 \n## 543",

(It is understood that official consumption will not be exceeded) has introduced a complication not initially apparent.\n\nThis means there is a legitimate increase in the demand for opium consequent on the increasing success in the suppression of Sungshing. It would appear that I hope for HK, the chief now has in view the possibility of obtaining increased supplies from the Advisory Committee for the Spring.\n\nIt has been decided (for the time being) to aim at a reasonable ratio per head of the population.\n\nI heard from de Lovique but it is none the less disturbing what I heard. The position as set out is a plain statement of fact that might be expected to appeal to intelligent and fair-minded men.\n\nI gather that opinions are not to the same effect. I share Berengere's view that the majority of the Assembly of the League regarded it as falling within that category and that it is desirable to do something to satisfy them.\n\nI confess that I cannot see any other way without abandoning our policy so completely and reducing Hongkong to the same level as China in regard to opium smoking.\n\nMy policy has been that which I believe to be sound both for opium and for alcohol - to aim at the minimum consumption by raising the price to a level that excess is practically impossible, making it possible for people to obtain a drug which is a necessity to large numbers, of good quality.",
