I will read them if the hon, member likes. The question is, docs, the has member oppose the second reading?

Hon. P. Ryrie-1 do; I propose the Bill be laid on the table this day six months.

Hon, B: Layton-1 felt very much inclined to agice with what the hon. number has said in opposition to the Bul when I came here this afternoon, but it seems to me that after what has been told us, that this particular clause has been removed, the most objectionable feature has been taken away and there is little else left because this Ordinance is simply one to amend the existing one. The principal object to the Ordinance was, it seems me, to introduce clause 16. If you abolish that, what is the use of the Ordinance? You are simply carrying a similar Ordinance with a few small alterations, and I cannot see what use it is unless it is dia- inctly understood that there is an arrangement that before 'prisoners are given up they are not subjected to torture. I think that a very serious matter indeed. Your Excellency says that has always been understood. If that is so why pass this Bill?

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1889.

to await the Governor's orders, by this Bill it is proposed he shall do that as a duty and shall particularly report on certain matters which have already been mentioned and which I need nat detail further. Under the law as it stands there is no provision as to what the Governor's powers are when a fugitive criminal awaits his orders. This Bill gives powers to the, Governor bath as to the surrender and discharge, and notwith- standing anything that may have taken place before the Magistrate it practically places the disposal of the fugitive criminal at the discretion of the Governor. That is by section 14.

His Excellency-Allow me to say, it does not place the matter at the discretion of the Governor in case the Magistrate discharge him, but only in case the Magistrate commits.

The Acting Attorney General-The last matter. I need mention is found in section 15. Suppose the fugitive criminal has been committed to prison to await, the Governor's orders and nothing is

were handed over to them, on their arrival, by the Gelman Vice-Consul, and a second steamer brought 8o more with the moneys due to them. To aid in the furtherance of direct emigration, the Netherlands Minister to China, Mr. Ferguson, by desire of his Government shifted his Legation from Peking to Swatow in

October. He is still here.

I have obtained the consent of the Viceroy to the conveyance of free emigrants to Sumatra by Bitish steamers, but no vessel under that flag has as yet carried any or even tried to find passengers.

Many charges of kidnapping or the use of fraud in sending coolies abroad were brought forward last year, the nocuseis no doubt hoping to be bought off by the persons whom they wished to intimidate in that way. One case Against the native agents of two British firms that had been settled two years before was revived, the accuser having daringly presented a petition, to the Viceroy while ile latter was on a

had the man who was said to have been kidnapped brought back from Singapore, where. upon the accuser ran away. After a long time he was found and sent by the Taotai's orders to the Chenghai magistrate, who has lately decided that the charge of kidnapping was an unfounded one. He has, however, not yet sentenced the accuser to punishment.

weather beyond these may be and frequently is fine, often quite calm, renders loading impracticable. The frequency with which these ebullitions occur has been much exaggerated, but still they do occur, and it is quite on the cards that 3 or 4 days detention may so result once or twice from this cause. however, so far as outside steamers Are concerned, that is those coming here to take way sugar, the season for this lasts only during the nine months when good weather is almost a certainty and at any rate risk of detention at the very minimum, if indeed at all existent.

I have been led to go into these particulars as some misapprehension seems to exist on the point, no doubt arising from confusing south with north Formosa, which latter locality is open to the heavy weather of the N. F. monsoon from which we are almost entirely sheltered.

i. His Excellency-1 regret 1 am not able to give way to the hon members on this point, and I think their apprehensions on the subject will be dispelled by the statement of the Attorney General and by further considera- tion of the Bill. I did not wish to say so dis- tinctly, but as a matter of fact the purpose which I hoped at one time to achieve by this Bill is now entirely set aside. This Bill, as have always said, was an alternative which 1 did not prefer, but which was adopted by Her Majesty's Government With that clause left out, as a matter of fact, extradition will be no easier, certainly with regard to any persons as to whom there is the least probability of inno- cence, than before; on the contrary, I think after the statement of the Attorney-General

Hon. B. Layton-Yes; your Excellency, Hon. J. J. Keswick-I should like to say few words in support of my colleagues' proposal that this Bill be postponed. I feel very strongly that the scope of this Bill is likely to produce effects which very few of us can foresee. I am quite sure, for one or two reasons, that the Bill is unnecessary. One reason why it is unneces- mary is that I feel certain-it amounts to, a con- viction in my mind-that the criminals who as a general rule are pursued into this Colony, are not the deep-dyed villains the Chinese neigh- bouring Viceroys wish to punish, but are men who, though not pethaps entirely clean-handed, are not so bad as they are painted. Usually they are men against whom there is some political charge or men who are wanted because they have come from Penang or Singapore

OF

Han. P. Ryrie-The 'squeezers who come from Canton will find it much easier.

His Excellency-I beg not to be interrupted. Bome other place where the Chinese authorities could not levy charges upon them.I think hon. members will find as rends. This belief amounts to a conviction in my people whose honesty is generally believed mind, and I am satisfied that if the Bill is in the colony, or as to whom there is the postpaard for six months and a close investi.least doubt as to their being criminals, this Bill gation made into the matter, the authorities will make it much more difficult to extradite them of this Colony will see that these men are not

The Bill is an improve where. I, in common with everyone elst, should ment on the law as it stands. There are many be only ton glad to see pirates and robbers turned things which have been a continual subject of out of this place and punished by their own discussion with Her Majesty's Government that authorities, but I do not believe that this is the will be disposed of in the respects mentioned by sole object of the Chinese authorities. I believe the Attorney-General. I think the improvement there is the desire on their part to maintain their is desirable, and 1 do not feel, justified in fore- dominion over their countrymen who live across

going the second reading of the Bill. I am the water, and anything which tends here to perfectly willing to consider any amendments weaken the bonds which bind the Chinese that may be proposed in committee, but beyond residents to us would be an exceedingly grave that I cannot go. The question is whether the matter. I am satisfied, at the present time, Bill be read a second time. since this Ordinance has been discussed, that a. great number of Chinese here who have hearth of it, have been much alarmed. My attention wAI drawn only to-day to the case of a Chiese gentleman of considerable position and standing, who has already paid large sums of money to his own authorities, who having heard of the proposed clause of this Ordinance as to the lepse of time in which he might be charged, said that If it were adopted he would not feel safe any where, I add these few words in support of what has been said by the unofficial members who have spoken before me, and I trust that time will be given for further consideration of this Ordinance...

The Acting Attorney-General-The Govern- ment cannot accede to the proposal that has been made, for several reasons. The present Bill is a, great improvement on the law as it at present stands. That law has been in operation since 1850.. 11 was made under the Treaty of the Bogue, which provided that persons who had committed crimes and offences" in China were to be given up. Then came the Treaty of Tientsin, which left the matter still more vague, because you had no description of crimes and offences, but were simply told you had to give up criminals." Then, again, there was another difficulty. Under the Treaty of Tientsin yon had to give them up,

The Council divided and the second reading was carried by the official vote.

His Excellency---Now, gentlemen, I shall not take the Committee to-day. I think if you will think over what the Attorney General has said you will see Lam perfectly justified in what I am doing and that there is really more security under this Bill for law-abiding inhabitants than before--I mean with these amendments that! have given notice I intend to introduce and I think even the Hon. Mr. Ryrie will come op calm consideration to agree with it.

Hon. P. Ryrie-I don't see the object of it. It will create great tertor among the Chinese, and for nothing at all. I don't think the Chinese authorities would trouble themselves to make an Ordinance for us

His Excellency-There may be certain terror, but it is at all events something to say you have got rid of at least one hundred well-known criminals in a day,

Hon, P. Ryrie 1 suppose they were told their beads were going to be cut off.

.

His Excellency-I have got a list of them. Let me suggest to the hon. inember (Hon. J. J. Keswick) to impress upon his Chinese friends what the Attorney-General has said, and I think they will find themselves more secure instead of

The Viceroy returned from his visit of inspec tion up the West river at daylight on Saturday ; His Excellency only remained about an hour a the Yainen and then proceeded to the Copper Cash Mint to inaugurate its opening. I under stand it to be the desire of the Viceroy in future, that Tainan timber is to be used wherever possible in all public works. These orders are made with a view to foster the development of the island of Hainan'as far as practicable; a proceeding in which His Excellency has shown commendable interest. Some of the new Customs cruisers built in Hongkong, are now employed doing good service patrolling Broadway behind Macão and the western entrance to the Pearl" river. Although the principal object of the service upon which they are engaged is to pre- veat contraband trade; they cannot fail to exercise a considerable moral influence on the marauding propensities of the sea-faring population of this notorious district. The inundations and freshets are creating, as usual, a demand for steam lautich facilities for quick and safe communica tion with adscent districts, as well as for relief purposes. Besides the demand is likely to be intensified by the rush of students to the city who are anxious to take part in this year's special examination on account of the Emperor's mar. |

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

Anping, May 24th, The Governor has "come, and gone; but his visit, a very hurried one was confined like him selfalmost entirely to the business which brought him here, viz. the Examinations. From the date of his arrival up to three days before he left he was inaccessible to all, being shut up in the Examination Hall. After that the Consul called on him as also did the Commissioner of Customs. His Excellency returned hath visits an hour before embarking. Rumour both it that he was very profuse in his promises of doing something-for-the South, and he even declared a railway emphatically that he would run from this to the City, a distance of about four miles. Even if this really comes off it would not be of that productively practical bene- fit which a line, or even a good road to Takow would prove, and if the harbour at the latter place were slightly deepened then some real and -permanent good ought to be looked for ! As it is, however, it seems to be generally thought that, pace promises, cothing can or will be done for a considerable time at least, if for no other reason than the very good one of impecuniosity. Chinese assert that H. E. was still bent on raising the wind from increased taxation; but if he persists in his policy of no representa- tive value being given in the South, then it is highly probable that the old difficulties and troubles will crop up again,''
