may say I'am very glad indeed of the oppor tunity to see something of these institutions, because I take an immense interest' in-I might say I have an immense love for— Hongkong, where I have spent now three exceedingly happy years. Therefore 1 wel- comed with great pleasure, the invituian to come here and learn something which

otherwise, as the General Officer Comman- ding the Troops, I should not have been able to learn of the civil Institutions in the Colony.

Well, from what I have seen and from what I have heard and from what I have read of this school, I certainly do not hesitate to say that it gives me immense pleasure to have come here amongst you and seen the goort work being done' here ; I do not hesitate to say it is amat ter of great astonishinent and great surprise to me to see the excellent work that is being car ried out and that has been carried out in this Diocesan School, (Applause) 1 can only say that to my mind it reflects the highest credit on Mr. Piery, and as I and rstand that Mrs. Piercy! have been told so-takes an immense personal interest in the comfort and welfare of the boys, I congratulate "Mrs, Piercy alio on the success that has attended her kind efforts. (Applause.) As Mr. Mercy has just, said, he lately came aack froui along furlough, and, it is

only fir, as he himself most modestly and most properly said, to given full credit in the successful working of this institution to Mr. Sykes(Applause.) I congratulate all the masters under Mr. Piercy. I think at all of them must have shown an enormans amount of real and energy to have brought things to the state in which I see them, and which the mere fact of these prizes having been won goes to prove. I congratulate you boys also with all my hear not only those who have won prizes, and to who I have had the pleasure of handing them. but also those who have not won prizes and who I hope will endeavour to win them on a future occasion. hope you will look upon. them not only as prizes in this school, but n prizes towards that higger school which in after life we have all got to into from school. (Applause.) There is one point that has struck me very much indeed. Last night, when I received Mr. Piercy's report, I was studving it. Now, you know I am a soldier by profession, and I have been a soldier all my life, and my experience of soldiers-and. I. say the same equally about sailors-is that they are always taught to know that the first things they have in-learn are "duty" and "religion." -1 read with an immense amount of pleasure last night that this Diocesan School not only enïveys its secular teaching, but mixes it with religion. Well, I may say that that was the strongest inducement in bringing me here. When. I head that last night I was astonished; Christian and, religious training is an enormous thing to in- culcate in a school of mixed nationalities such as this. It cannut fail for one thing, to bring us all more together, and as duty and religion invariably go hand in hand, it must unques- tionably be the first and most important factor in the well-being of the institution. (Applause.) I say to you 'Chinese boys' too that I have learnt another thing and that is: 1 observed that in 1900, when the Lord Bishop himself was performing the function I have had the pleasure of doing to-day, distributing the prizes. he said he had been immensely struck with the fact of the amount of interest and energy that the Chinese bays evinced in acquiring the English language. Well, from what I can learn from the report, that interest and that keenness have rather increased than diminished, and I wish to congratulate you Chinese boys on that fact. I congratulate nursèives also, because I am perfectly certain of this-that the more the study of the English language can be- accepted by the Chinese, and the more they can work it up, the more they will learn thoroughly ' that our English institutions, our English laws,

our English ways of taking affairs, in life, are { all governed by and start from the one word "Justice." Therefore, more they can thoroughly learn the language and recognise that we are brothers together here where the flag of England floats, the better it will be both for them and for us. (Applause.) Well now, boys, I have made my little speech and told you about the first teachings of a soldier. and now I am going to speak to you more as a friend to friends. I have been very glad indeed to see another thing here, which was brought to my notice in giving the prizes away.and that is that sports and games are not forgotten in this institution. There is nothing. believe me, that makes a man e better man, physically and morally, than to devote a certain portion of his time to field sports, and so I am glad to see that part of your instruction is not forgotten in this institu. tion. Well now, it is the first time I have had the opportunity of giving the prizes away, and as I say, it has been a very great pleasure to me. Now, as it is the first time you have seen- me here, and as possibly it will be the last although I shall endeavour to come again, even in a minor capacity, in order to watch you--1

should like to ask for a favour." I may be en croaching on dangerous ground, and if so the. Lord Bishop and Mr. Piercy must overlonk the matter and refuse my request. Now, boys, you are going away on your holidays, and I shall venture to ask for a small extension of them just two or three days extra, and if my request is granted you may have pleasure in the enjoy ment of your holidays in reflecting that the extra two or three days were got at the regaest of General Gascoigne. (Loud applause.)

After cheers for Major-General Gascoigne, Bishop Hoare, informed the scholars that, in deference to His Excellency's wishes, the holi days, which commenced that day would extend to the 4th of March, not to the rat, as was originally intended. The announcement, was received with loud cheers,

THE CANTON OPIUM CASE.

FURTHER HEARING. ·

they were then null and vold.

Mr. Carl said his instructions were to try this case under the rules governing these commis sions.

Mons. Hardouin said that the Hoppo's letter was his official document and not the charge as read by Mr. Carl.

It was at length agreed that the Heppo's leiter should be put in Court and accepted as the charge to be proved by the Customs wit- nesses jí possible.

The validity of the permits was acknowledged. But whether the whole number of cases of opium mention had been shipped, was dis- puted.

Mr. Carl said that the defendant should produce evidence to that effect.

- Mr; Firy said the evidence of the prosecution should be brought forward first.

Mr. Carl disputed that the whole of the case rested on communication from the Harbour Master at Hongkong and pointed out that it

Was not so.

Mr. E. Wolle, as the first witness, gave evidence as yesterday, pointing out the spot on the chart where the launch was seized. He left Lappa in charge of the Lung Ching about 3.30 p.m. on the 28th May..and anchored at Hon Pon Moon about 9.20 p.m. on the same evening. He engaged a fishing junk and put his first officer, Mr. J. Thronstad, with some sailors on board. He sent sailors "ashore to keep a look nut and on the following day TOM HARVEY, V. J. GRIFFEN, they reported firing. He weighed anchor and steamed in the direction and sighted a launch, She was flying no flag. He blew'two whistles, then fired a blank, shot, and as she would not stop, sent twa 6 pdr. shells across her bows. He boarded the launch about 3 p.m; and found chests of opium broken open. He afterwards picked up Mr. Tironstad, who said that the launch had dumped to packages of opium into a native boat. He cross-questioned some of the crew but nipst of them said they had been asleep. He'transferred the opium from the Seng Li to the Lung Ching for safe keeping.

To Mr. Pity through the French Consul be said:-The men from the hill reported firing from the direction of and on sfeering in that direction sighted that Sang is about a p.m. and boarded her abouts.10 p.m. She had no fing flying at the time he fed to bring her to.

Mr. Piry tried to show there was no chase

and that the Sang La did not try to get away

from the Lung Ching.

To Mr. Hardouin The witness did not know that the Sang Li had been smuggling when he boarded her. His officer later joined him at 4.20 p.m, and informed him that the Sang Lihad dumped opuim into a native boat. He had information previously that the conduct of the Sang Li was suspicious The Sang Lt drawe eight feet of water and was stirring up the mud

in the passage. He chased a hakka boat into

2 feet of water; the occupant jumped overboard and dragged up the boat. The witness fired one shot at him but he got away. It was about five o'clock when he chased the hakka boat His officer had fired on the hakka boat, but his junk was becalmed and the smuggling craft was propelled by oars and they got away. The witness fired from the Lung Ching at the hakka from about 3000 yds. He boarded the launch with his boatswain, having four men alongside in his gig. The men sitting on the opium chests made a rush at him but he kept them at bay with his revolver. He afterwards took 6 men back on board the Customs cruiser.
