With reference to your letter No.20061/98 of the 7th September authorising us to engage 7 recruits for service in the Police Force in Hong Kong, I have the honour to report that up to the present we have only been able to secure one candidate and he is obliged to undergo a slight operation before we can finally conclude his engagement.
2. The man Barker referred to in the enclosure to the Governor's despatch declined to engage upon being told the value of the dollar.
We have applied to the Aberdeen Police Force, The London Metropolitan Force, and the Glasgow Force, but without success, no volunteers being forthcoming. We have now applied to the Liverpool Force and if unsuccessful we propose to apply to other of the large English towns, but we fear there may be some delay, the terms offered evidently not appearing attractive.
4. It occurs to us that it would be some advantage if the exchange compensation were promised permanently, instead of being guarded as at present by stating that its continuance cannot
be promised.

With reference to your letter No.19829/98 of the
29th ultimo, I am directed by the Board of Trade to state
that they regret the delay which has occurred in
answering your previous communication of the 10th
September, respecting the amendment of the Hong Kong
Vagrancy Ordinance, 1897, but the matter was one in which
it was thought desirable to communicate with the Chamber
of Shipping and also to consult the legal advisers to
to this Department,
After careful consideration, the Board are still of
opinion that it is desirable that the Ordinance in
question should be amended, and they would suggest,
the consideration of Mr Secretary Chamberlain, that the
proposed
Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
proposed amendments embodied in the Bill enclosed in
your letter of the 10th September should be approved
with the exception of the words in red ink, which should
be omitted, but that the amending Bill should also
contain provisions which will give effect to the follow-
ing suggestions.
It appears desirable that it should be made clear
that Section 22 of the Ordinance of 1897 is not to
apply to shipwrecked seamen, and it is suggested that
this might be effected by inserting the words "and not
having been shipwrecked" after the word. "Chinese" in
that Section.
The Board of Trade are also advised that Section 22
as it stands at present with or without the alterations
contemplated in the Bill may be construed as applying to
seamen as well as to other persons; and it is suggested
that the section should be so amended as to show that
it is not intended to apply to seamen whose case is
provided for in, or excepted from the operation of,
section 21.

EXTRACT LETTER FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF
DATED 14th APRIL 1898, PARA.14.
REGE I MA 98
The Government of Bombay telegraphed on the 30th March
that plague rules had been applied in Egypt to arrivals
from Hong Kong. We thereupon enquired of the Hong Kong
Goverment whether plague existed at Hong Kong or in the
neighbourhood. In reply a telegram was sent stating that
210 cases had occurred this year up to the 2nd April, and
that plague was reported to exist also at Macao and Canton.
On receipt of this information we considered it advisable
to issue instructions for the imposition of regulations
in accordance with the Venice Convention against Hong
Kong, Canton and Macao at Aden and ports in the Bombay
Presidency and Sind, and at Calcutta and Chittagong and
ports in the Madras Presidency and Burma. We desire to
bring to your Lordship's notice that on the present
occasion, as well as on the occasion of the recrudescence
in 1896, the Government of Hong Kong failed to send us
information of the existence of plague at that place. It
appears to us to be very desirable that timely notice
should be given, in order that the precautions prescribed
by the Venice Convention may be at once adopted.

(Based on Various Authorities.)
Indian Trade with Western China.
The general interest that has been aroused in the last few years in Chinese Scope of affairs seems to render the present time opportune for investigating the Memo- special problems that arise out of the contiguity of Burma and Yunnan, randum. It is proposed in this memorandum to trace the course of Burma-China overland trade since 1890-91, and then to consider, with some fullness of detail, the existing resources of Western China, and the ways of penetrating the land-locked provinces which it comprises, viz., Yunnan, Kucichou, and Ssuchuan (Szechuan). The subject will be treated in two sections :---
I. Burma-China Overland Trado.
II. Yunnan.Its Resources, Trade, and Trade Routes, including (1) area, physical features, and population; (2) agriculture, mining, and manufactures; (3) trade; (4) trade routes; (5) rivalry with France; (6) conclusions. Kueichou and Ssuchuan will be considered mainly
in their relation to Yunnan.
The facts and figures with regard to Burma and China trade are derived Sources of from the monthly reports ou Indian overland trade, from Mr. O'Conor's
information. annual reviews of Indian trade, from the reports on trade between Burma and the adjoining countries, and from the administration reports on the Shan States. In the section on Yunnan au endeavour has been made to survey, with tolerable exhaustiveness, the more recent works on the subject. Some of the authorities quoted in the following list do not appear to be accessible except at the British Museum, while a few articles could be found only in the library of the Royal Geographical Society. These authorities necessarily vary in importance, while their discrepant statements about facts and their conflicting opinions often render it difficult to determine how much value should be attached to their testimony, but the qualifications of the writers have been weighed as far as possible.

I.-BURMA-CHINA ÖVERLAND TRADE.
Diverse estimates have been formed in recent years as to the extent of Estimates of the Burma-China trade. In 1877 it was placed at 250,0001. annually by the Trade. Captain Cooke. In 1890 Mr. Hosie valued it at 500,0007, and Prince Henry of Orleans has adopted the same estimate. M. Rocher stated in 1894 on the authority of the farmers-general of likin in Yunnan that it amounted to 160,0007, but he suggested that his informants had an interest in under- stating the amount. Although much information is contained in the official reports on trade, it is nevertheless impossible to gauge accurately the dimensions of a trade which is partly indirect and passes by many routes. Besides the direct trade given below, a great deal of the trade between Burma and the Northern Shan States and some of that between Burma and the Southern Shan States is transit trade with China, while even Zimmé (Chiengmai) serves as an entrepôt for this commerce. But though it is impossible to show the full course of trade, it may be useful to furnish tables of the direct insport and export trade between Burma and China, together with tables of the trade between Burma and the North and South Shan States, a subject interesting in itself apart from its relation to the topic under discussion.
The period here dealt with extends from 1890-91 to 1997-98, details for Registration earlier years being incomplete or untrustworthy to a degree that renders of Trade. them of little service for purposes of comparison. The registration of frontier trade was not introduced into Upper Burma until June 1889, and it was imperfect for some time afterwards. Even since revised, simplified, and generally more effective measures of registration have been adopted, reports show that traders frequently make false returns, or evade registration by following circuitous routes. It is thought, for instance, that a considerable illicit traffic in opium is carried on. In spite, however, of incompleteness and inaccuracy, the returns are of value in indicating both the extent of the trade and the kinds of commodities that are interchanged.
It has been suggested in the trade reports that the enforcement of Article IX. of the Convention of 1st March 1594 between Great Britain and China, by which the Manwyne and Sansi routes were opened, prevented traders from adopting routes other than the Bhamo route in 1895-96. But this clause has been usefully modified by the Agreement of 4th February 1897, under which other routes may be opened if the Boundary Commissioners agree that such measures would be in the interests of trade.
