THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1808.

At the request of Admiral Sir R.

+

As no appear has been made to the Chamber during the past year, your Committee have not dealt directly with this subject, but on reference to the correspondence it will be seen that atten. tion was drawn to the publication of a statement attributed to Sir Joseph Fayrer, bearing on the question of Quarantine in connection with the Indian Government, which your Committee have taken steps to verify. (Appendix /).

STAMP PRES ON BILLS OF EXCHANGE.

it was brought to the notice of your Committee that an innovation was established in July, 1886, whereby the Banks of the Colony threw upon the mercantile community the whole expense of providing stamps on all Bills of Exchange whether bought or sold. After representation to the various Bank Managers, it is the pleasing duty of your Committed to report that a scheme was drawn up and agreed to, very much on the lines of those that previously prevailed, whereby the tax of providing stamps is equitably appor tioned between buyers and sellers. (Appendix

MAIL SERVICE VIA CANADIAN AND PACIFIC KOUTES.

A special meeting of the Committer was held on the 27th June last, to consider a letter from the Agents of the Canadian Pacific Railway with regard to the desirability of establishing a Mail service between Hongkong and Vancouver, to alternate with the existing P. & O. service via Suez, and requesting that the Home Government might be placed in possession of the Chamber's views hêlure the 30th day of June, on which date the subject was to come up for discussion in Parliament, The members are award that when the subject of the new contract for the Eastern Mail service was referred to the Chamber in June 1886, it was then decided that the proposed Canadian route was practically useless so far xe Hongkong was concerned. On reconsideration of the question, one year later, your Committee considered that a subsidiary special service viá Pacific and Canadian routes would be advan- tageous to the mercantile public and was especially desirable on political grounds, pro- vided this Colony was not called upon to contribute to the proposed undertaking: A reso- lution to this effect.was passed, the Agents of Canadian Pacific Railway were duly advised, and - the contents were telegraphed to HM.'s Chan-

cellor of the Exchequer. (Appendix K.) RATES CHARGED BY, THE IMPERIAL CHINESE MARITIME CUSTOMS FOR THE STORAGE OF OPIUM, Representations were made to the Chamber by Merchants largely interested in the Opium trade regarding the high rates which the Chinese Customs were charging for the storage of Opium in their bonded warehouses at Foochow and Amoy, and the Chamber was requested to inter vene in this matter with a view to secure some rebate from the tax. From information which your Committee received on the subject they were all but unanimous in deciding that it was inex- dient for the Chamber to take any action sup- porting the communication that had been addressed to them.' (Appendix L) -

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

The Local Government notified the Chamber, -in-September last, that Mi T. Jackson kad resigned his seat as the Chamber's Represente- tive in the Legislative Council and requested the Chamber to nominate another Member to fill his place. For this purpose a Special General Meeting of the Chamber was held on the 17th September, when the Vice-Chairman, Mr. A. P. MacEwen, who had previously represented the- Chamber as Acting Member, was again unanimously elected as theirpermanentnomines, (Appendix A)

· ALLEGED CONTEMPLATED CONVENTION BETWEEN TILE FOREIGN TELEORAPH COMPANIES AND THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT.

The Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce forwarded copy of a letter addressed by that Chamber to the Dayer of the Diplomatic Body in Peking, protesting against the alleged con- templated convention between the existing European Telegraph Companies and the Chinese Government, and invited the co-operation of the Chamber to support their communication. The

of reply your Committee to this representation was to the effect that they concurred with the views held by the Shanghai Chamber, that every effort should be made to oppose any attempt, ́direct or indirect, to increase the burdens on trade, and the attention of Her Britannic Majesty's Representative at Peking was invited to a Resolution expressing the views of your Committee and urging that His Excellency would use his influence to check the consummation of a scheme, which, if carried into effect, would prove detrimental to the interests of the mer- cantile communities in the Far East. (Appen-

dix N.),

A letter, dated 20th December, 1887, was received from 'the Singapore Chamber of Come merce, forwarding a Paper laid before the Legis lative Council of the Straits Bettlements, con taining a lengthy correspondence embracing the views of the Lords of the Treasury, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and the Master of the Mint, together with a letter from the Directors of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, expressing opinions adverse to this pro ject. The difficulties which have attended the attempt to lotroduce a new coinage for use in the British Colonies in the East have been so were and the opinions of parties consulted so diver» gent, that the Singapore Chamber announces jis intention to abandon all further attempts to obtain legislation on the subject. (Appendix )

On the 10th March the Chamber received from the Local Govemment copy of a letter from Her Britannic Majesty's Minister at Peking, giving cover to translation of a Memorial published in the Peking Gazette, 6th February, 1887-which will be found in Appendix P on the subject of the removal of the prohibition that has hitherto existed on the export of Iron from the Kwangtung and Kwangsi Provinces.

Your Committee have had submitted to them by the Local Government Mr. Bourne's interest ing report-Parts 1 and on his journey in South Western China, from which it appears that he travelled through a portion of the country visited by Mr. Moss in 1869 under the auspices of this Chamber.

A letter of the 5th September was received from the Consul for France, forwarding a chart of the Lower Mouth of the River Lonte, giving details in extenso of the approaches to the Pont of St. Nazsize with statistick relative to the Docks and Ship Duilding Yards established at that place,

A copy of the Journal Oficial de la Cochin Chine Française has been received containing the Tarif Douanier de L'Indo-Chine Française."

I cannot say how many marines I know here; Ï have spoken to one only since I have been ashore, as far as I recollect..

I have never walked with any marine, nor with any soldier, or sailor. I first saw the prisoner as I was going up Morrison Hill. I spoke to a soldier one day near the Church, but cannot Takie swear that I ever spoke to the prisoner. The Naza occasion was two weeks agó to-day; the soldier asked me about the dog, what breed it was, and I said it was a St. Bernard. I told him I had come put in the Tamar and was staying" at the Hongkong Hotel He walked with me to the Hotel; I won't swear, that he did We had some not shake hands with me. conversation on the way to the Hotel; he did not ask if I were coming, out ‘at night, I cannot swear that prisoner is the man I never have had a mishap of this kind before, and never before missed my mistress.

I have no idea what time I spoke to the soldier near the Church; perhaps it was between 5 and 6 in the evening, on the bank near the Parade Ground. He did not know my Christian name. I did not have gloves án during that occasion. Prisoner touched my left hand I had a stick in my right. When I said "I wish you would walk on," these were the first | words I uttered. I had gone some distance up Kennedy Road when I saw the prisoner coming ; he did not touch my hand till I got to the Black Rock, and I had not spoken before to him. When he pulled me to the ground it was quite un- awarce, I noticed that his person was exposed when I was lying on the ground.
