The customary report by the Attorney-General In the neighbouring provinces of South China the coin most commonly current is the twenty cent piece, issued from the Canton Mint, and a very considerable trade between those provinces and Hongkong is carried on in terms of this coin. In particular junks and small travelling traders take out goods from the Colony in all directions and return with Chinese twenty-cent Under the provisions of the Principal Ordinance, No. 15 of 1913, the import and possession of these coins is pro- -hibited except under licence from the Colonial Secretary, and it was intended to control the import by means of licences issued, subject to conditions named therein, in that behalf. It was point- -ed out at the time the Bill was under discussion in the Legislat- -ive Council that in order not to hamper a legitimate trade it would be necessary to issue licences in very large numbers and subject to the fewest possible restrictions. levertheless it was considered THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LEWIS HARCOURT, M.P., considered desirable to take powers to restrict import in the manner indicated. On further consideration however it has appear- -ed probable thet, if circulation is strictly prohibited, the unrestricted import and possession of Chinese coins would have no effect upon the rehabilitation of the Colony's subsidiary coin, which is the sole end in view, and that accordingly the somewhat troublesome system of licences would be an unnecessary precaution. The present Ordinance therefore gives the Governor-in-Council power to suspend the operation of the Principal Ordinance as regards import and possession, with liberty to reimpose the system of licences if at a later date such a course should be deemed to be advisable. I propose to give the system of free import a trial and I stated publicly in the Legislative Council that if the experiment is not successful, other measures will be adopted. I am not without hopes that Chinese Merchants and Traders will co-operate to make the experiment a success. ER I have the honour to be, Your most obedient, humble servant, Governor,&c.

Report on Ordinance No.. 2... of 191 4, I have examined the accompanying Ordinance entitled An Ordinance to amend the Foreign Silver and Nickel Coin Ordinance, 1913. and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instractions, For report see within. The a Buckwill Attorney General. on an Ordinance entitled An Ordinance to amend the Foreign Silver and Nickel Coin Ordinance, By Section 4 of the Foreign Silver and Nickel Coin Ordinance, 1913 (Ordinance No. 15 of 1913) a penalty is in- posed upon any person importing into the Colony any Foreign Silver or Nickel coin unless such person is the holder of a licence so to do under the hand of the Colonial Secretary. By Section 6 a penalty is also imposed upon any person found in the Colony in possession of any Foreign Silver or Nickel Coin of an aggregate value of over 50 dollars unless such person is the possessor of a licence granted under the provisions of Section 4 of the Ordinance. The Foreign Silver Nickel Coin Ordinance, 1913 comes into operation on the 1st March 1914 but, as the result of careful consideration, it is realized that the sudden immediate enforcement of the penalties against importation into and possession in the Colony of Foreign Silver or Nickel coinage is attended with considerable difficulty and that the object of the Ordinance which is to drive out of circulation this foreign it is also thought currency can only be accomplished gradually; that suitable arrangements for the issue of ligences under Sea- tion 4 of the Ordinance of 1913 presents some practical difficulty. 3/- The object of the present Ordinance is to give power to the Governor-in-Council to suspend temporarily if necessary the operation of Sections 4 and/or 6 of the Principal Ordinance in the hope that by such a temporary suspension the object of may be effected the Principal Ordinance, by the enforcement of that part of it which deals with the prohibition against circulation in the Colony of Foreign Silver and Nickel coin; and it is anticipated that as with the case of Foreign copper coinage and Foreign Notes the prohibition against circulation will be effected at within a reasonable period causing the Foreign Silver coinage to disappear from circulation in the Colony without the necessity for the issue of licences and without further action. It is probable however that in any case the importation of Chinese Silver coinage not as a circulating medium but as merely representing its bullion value will continue and against this there is no reason to object as such coins not being placed in circulation simply represent a form of merchandise. Section 1 of the Ordinance is formal. Section 2 of the Ordinance gives power to the Governor-ins Council by notification published in the Gazette to suspend for such period and in such parts of the Colony as may in the opinion of the Governor-in-Council be desirable the operation of the whole or any part of the provisions of either Sections 4 and/or 6 of the Princi- pal Ordinance. In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Excellency the Governor may properly assent in the name of His Majesty and on His behalf. Johna Buchmit Attorney General. Last previous Papor.

We have received instructions from Tientsin with regard to a man named Sung Ying In who has recently been arrested by the Chinese Authorities there on a charge of bomb making. The man is a British subject, and for some time past was a clerk in the British Post Office at Tientsin, until the Post Office was reorganised under the London Postal Authority, and thereafter he was a clerk in the Kailan lining Administration, who are now exercising their influence on his behalf. In December last we obtained a Certificate of Birth showing that the man was born in Hongkong, which was duly for- -warded to the British Consul at Tientsin, who has now declined to move in the matter on the rund that Sung had not registered himself as a British subject in Tientsin. We are now urged to take every possible stop to bring such influence to bear as way insure that the man has a fair and impartial trial. We are not aware whether it is within the province of the Government of longkong to interfere in such a case, but we shall be obliged if the matter may be brought under consideration as early as possible, and the decision of the Government con- -veyed to us.

B..'s Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, Limestone Tuomio at Jagtun On behalf of the shareholders of the Green Island Cement| Co., Ltd., the Lembers of the Board of Directors and the General Managers of the Company feel called upon to address you upon the very serious and urgent matter of the Company's claim upon the Chinese Government created by the Canton Autaorities' wrongful action in prohibiting the export of stone from the Province of Iwang Tung. The question of our claim has been periodically brought before His Majesty's Consul-Generel in Canton, and we understand has duly received your Excellency's attention, but we have not thus far received any information as to what redress we are like- -ly to obtain from the Chinese Covernment, and the matter has be- →come now so very serious we feel we should emphasize it by put- -ting ourselves in direct communication with Your Excellency. There can be no question that the prohibition of the export of stone was entirely unjustified and that being so the Company's claim for compensation and restitution represents e very real loss, and we hope that through tum efforste of Your Excellency a stop can be put to the present intolerable ccndi- -tion of offeirs and redress we obtained. Besides the very direct loss occasioned by the enuanced price at which the Company has been compelled to provide itself with supplies from Tonkin the indirect injury to the Company's trade has been enormous. The inadequacy of such supplies and the increased prices which the Company has been forced to ask for its manufacture have seriously crippled its position in the neighbouring chief consuming yonelleavā DIH .........à ....LO.】 ....3.1.0.9 „mabio", miel Tib saquenilroeitra yovid n'a qɗ ...” Teisnesoythe 19 BİRİ men%) But to aroplociezale aid to tarod no 20.90 vt nun stabenić tu fimoć nad to rzeduel aww ..but I ..00 oga ma ̧ "narbha of noqu be[Iso Iest yinquod add to sɔISKETURİ oil♬ mogu mixis e'quayso) adi so zattru tunguu bin muoinca VTOV [utyrum 'seiðsrontul modulo sit jd begaeno dnsuitevo) Beeline to ecrivory and tørt anode to drogra ello guitididong ni neidos won (Iloa soiroq need seil misio wo to moisnnup an'" karena sheas ew but paduno ni Inzene)-Ivanoɔ s'ydeejął aku stoted wow sud nois nous at pustinuta woy barlevez vlub and BOIDOT JAST CỬ noida.roini qna bovinoon net aurit redón, alle fl,JIALIOTO) seening and mert nieudo at ɣi- y qua ezinwrique loma or Isol ev awoİTOS CISV ON won caspo- *, TUOI Deir moİJ VOİNT K100 dostìb mi sevisɛwo gold- im to moitididon.

For 24 years past, since the formation of the Creen Island Cement Company, Limestone has been obtained from Kvangtung: Province the system being to contract with Chinese for delivery ex junka at the Company's Hok Un (Kowloon) or Lacao Works on the 26th. April, 1912, the Kwangtung Government (suddenly and without warning) issued a pro- -clamation of which the following is an extract:- "The natural products of China should belong to China. The "export of such products being a serious below to her rights and "privileges, the Government have every right to prohibit the export of *blue limestone". "If the export from Kwangtung be entirely prohibited, foreign "merchants must go elsewhere and obtain their supplies from foreig "countries, which will entail heavy cost of carriage. The quality "moreover of foreign stone is not to be compared with our Kwangtung "stone, hence the cement manufactured therefrom will not compare with "our Company's article and we will find an infinitely greater market "for our goods. The prosperity of the Company accordingly depends *entirely on whether or not blue limestone can be exported". The effect of this proclamation was not only to prevent the Company's contractors from fulfilling their existing contracts, but also made it impossible for the Company to enter into fresh contracts. The Company's supplies therefore came to a sudden stop, and as it has been impossible to obtain suitable limestone from other sources except at unreasonable cost the Company make the following claim on the Kwangtung Provincial Government:- Limestone undelivered by Contarctors owing to stoppage of export by the Canton Government amounted to 152,750 tons which would have produced 114,563 tons Cement or o87,370 casks.

In March 16 MAR 14 Canton, December 31, 1913. I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt on the 30th. instant of your despatch complaining of action taken by lagistrates on the North River in the matter of issuing permits to quarry limestone. In reply thereto I have the honour to state that, in conjunc- -tion with the Civil Administrator, I have already sanctioned licences for the supply of limestone to the Green Island Cement Co., and that I telegraphed to the Magistrates at Yingte and Samshui instructing them to furnish the documents necessary to enable quarrying to be started. I received from the Yingte Magistrate a telegraphic reply reporting that Teng Suan-ch'ang and others of the Hsieh Ho Company had permission to work the Leo Ti Wan quarry, Yuan Tee-lin and others to work the Wu Shih-sban quɛrry and Feng Ch'un-yuan and others to work the Leo Ti Wan quarry. Also that documents necessary to proceed with the drawing up of leases and the extracting of stone had been issued by the Magistracy. The District Magistrate at Sanshui telegraphed that a Hsuan- -wu and others had formed a large combination to work quarries, and that, as instructed, documents to proceed with the extraction of stone had been issued. There has been no imposition of cheres nor obstruction. The statements therefore of the merchants as quoted by you are based on erroneous information, or their allegations that per- -mission to # quarry had been refused are not founded on fact. I would accordingly feel obliged if you would convey the above facts to those concerned. (Seal of Tutu.)

B. M. Consulate-General, Canton, February 13th., 1914. I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's despatch No. 13 of the 11th. instant on the subject of limestone and in reply to state that the Commissioner of Industry accompanied by the Secretary for Foreign Affairs came to see me this afternoon with regard thereto. After a long conversation with them I am confirmed in the views which I expressed to Your Excellency personally that the present difficulties and troubles are being created by the Green Island Company's contractors. There is every desire on the part of the Government to accelerate and facilitate the resumption of export. It is the contractors who are unwilling to come to terms and I am of opinion that the Company should lose no time in despatching a responsible foreigner who, after a consultation with the Commissioner of Industry, should proceed to the quarry- -ing districts and make arrangements for fresh supplies. In the Samshui and West River districts purchases can be arranged as before. In the Ying Tak district owing to intercommunal disputes the authorities have decided to take over the handling of the stone themselves and they are prepared to dispose thereof at market rates. This course has been adopted as the ownership of the quarries for family and clan reasons is so involved that clean permits to one individual cannot issue. I am assured that it is with no view of establishing a monopoly that such action has been taken. It is solely in the interests of enabling the Company to procure supplies without delay and witnout what may be called domestic complications. Although not greatly caring for the arrangement, in so far as this particular district is concerned, I consider it highly advisable that it be given & trial because, should after trial it be proved that the spirit of the assurance is not acted up to, it will be easy to tax the Government with 1*10.10)-etsfunno) . .Ɛ .⠀ „Kočí prautust „nojna'. to dyiover æld eybelwomen of tonod end #vau I But no dusdruk indII tro to EI Jul. dodageer a1ousileozi woY TerolaBiLmoj end odd edným od yiqet më bas anotaeniil to Josidua auso existi mieto?

The main object is to get the export restarted and so long as one listens to the interested representations of the Company's contractors that consummation would appear to be un- -attainable.

It appears that the pension should be calculated under that paragraph of the Hongkong Pension Minute which cor- -responds with paragraph 10(3) of the Straits Settlements Pensions Regulations. The calculations given show that Lr. Justice ——— Sercombe Smith's total pensionable service in this Colony amounts to 22 years, 4 months and 11 days, and that in the whole period of such service he drew a total sum of £68,201.44, which at exchange 3/8, the pension rate to which he is entitled amounts to £16,170. 5. 34. There must be added to the period of service in Hongkong a like proportion of the five years' tropical allowance as his service in this Colony bears to the total period of his employment in tropical climates.

Shewan Tomes & Co.'s Hongkong Compradore r. ilg Hon Tez, and the Green Island Veient Co.'s Shui king. Tai Tong and Ying Tak Limestone Contractors, I called on H.E. the Civil Governor of Kwangtung this morning in accordance with the wishes of H.B.M.Consul-General, Er. J.V.Jeldes m, C.K.G. I informed h.E. that my call was the outcome of an inter -view between himself and H.BL.Consul-General, which took place on the lat. instant at which H. E. had stated that his Covernment was prepared to issue to the Green Island Cement Co.'s Contractors permits for the quarrying and eport of Limestone from the West and North Rivers in Kwangtung prøvince on payment of a licensing fee to be commensurate with that paid by the Canton Cement Co. I informed H.E. that I had brought wita me the contractors who had formerly supplied the Green Island Cement Co. with limestone, and I requested that he would be good enough to explain fully what procedure was necessary to secure the continuation of this supply. His Excellency replied that his Goverment is willing to grant permits to our contractors. They must, however, first file a formal petition with nim givin full details of the situation of the quarries and aree etc., thereof, and they must also file a similar petition with the magistrates of the Districts in which the quarries are situnted. As soon as the agistrates of these Districts have for- -warded to him these petitions, duly approved by them, ns, the Civil Governor will issue the permits on payment of the licensing fee. I asked H. E. if he would be good enough to instruct the Magistrates of toe Districts in which we are interested to lose no time. in forwarding these petitions to him, and I also asked him if he could inform me what would be the approximate amount of the licensing fee. To my first question H.E. replied that he had already 190 vai to u voli e'nosei. .1i ri i etusoloi LEIVI LA TUJEVO" to Tom190 III.

Furthermore, he had sent deputies to these three districts and had already heard that there is no objection (on the part of the people of the district) to the export of limestone from Thi Tong and Ying Tak, but the deputy had not yet returned from Shui ding. To my second question he replied that the licensing fee would be in accordance with the wining Regulations, he was not sure of the amount but did not think it amounted to very much; in any CABA it would be the same as that paid by the Canton Cement Co. I then referred to the question of the supply from the Fa Yun district. I pointed out that, if the Government intended to give us equal treatment with the Canton Cement Co., it would not be reasonable to debar us from getting supplies from this district. The Green Island Cement Co. quite understand that the Fei Shui quarry had been reserved by the Government for the supply of limestone to the Canton Cement Works, but one of our contractors had rented quarries in the Fa Un District, which are quite apart from the Government quarry, and it was not unreasonable to expect that he would be allowed to supply the Company from these quarries. I mentioned that Fa Un is a most important source of supply to the Company as unere is sufficient depth of water in the River to ake it possible to bring down supplies all the year round, which is not the case with other districts. Lore- -over, if the Green Island Cament Co. are driven further afield for their supplies it necessitates higher rates of freight wuich, alone, constitute a handicap. H.. replied that he very much regretted that the Fa Un district could not be thrown open to the Green Island Cement Co.'s contractors as the Government had reserved that whole district for their om use. Under the circus Alces I thought it advisable not to press the question at this interview. In conclusion I thanked .E. for his kind efforts on benalf of the Green Island Cement Co. and inforued him that the Company fully appreciated the fact that he was doing all he could to assist the settlement of this long outstanding case.

The Jivil Governor has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of H. M. Consul's letter of the 17th. "ovember which has bad his care- -ful attention. The imposition by the Semi Laistrate of a local self- -government levy on the quarrying of limestone is a matter concerning local autonomy and has nothing to do with the cavil Governor's office. That the contractors in question should make a return for the enjoyment of quarrying rights in the shape of a contribution for the public benefit of the locality is a duty expected of Chinese citizens. Such matters are of an entirely domestic neuure and the Civil Governor would therefore request H. L. Consul not to intervene. As to the foreign firm interestod all their concern is to contract for the pur- -chase of the stone wit the merchants who quarry it: no interference on the firm's part can be allowed.

B. L. Consulate-General, Canton, December 6, 1913. Having reference to ry despatch Confidential No. 4 of the 23rd. ultimo on the subject of the embargo on limestone, I have the honour to report that on November 2b I communicated in writing to Lung Tutu the contents of your teleram No. 24 of the previous day. The Tutu's reply on the 29th. November evaded reference to the grounds of objection, reiterated the statement that, so far as he had heard, the tax was not an official one and ended by stating that he had ordered the Seushui lagistrate to come to Canton to receive personal instruct- -ions for the better guidance of local opinion. Copies and translations of the correspondence are enclosed herewith. In answer to an enquiry which I made by telephone on receipt of your telegram No. 25, as to whether orders Led yet been sent to the Sausmui Kagistrate to issue the quarrying licences applied for by the Green Island Company's contractors, the Civil Governor, waile admitting that he had received instructions from the Minister of Foreign Affairs to suspend the levy and allow export, reaffined his former contentions that the tax was unofficial, that it as simply a requisition by the pouple of the district against the expenses of local self-government and that the master res terefore not one in which the Provincial Government could properly interfere. But he would go so far as to do his best by advice to obtain a reduction of the tax. I repli- -ed and subsequently confirmed the message by letter, copy and trans- -lation of which is enclosed that you refused to recognise the introduction of such special local teration and that it was idle to say the tax was unconnected with Government when the Government representa- -tive at Saushui re fused to issue permits unless the tax were paid. I again requested him to instruct the agistrate to suspend the tax entirely.

In view of the recent instructions of the inister of Foreign Affairs, however, I have arranged for a joint interview on londay, the 6th. instant. In my despatch of the 23rd. ultimo on this subject I mentioned that the Tai Tong contractors stated that they sold their limestone to the Green Island Company in ongkong at $2.30 per ton, Hongkong Currency: that the Ying Tek and Kei Koon Shan stone, owing to the remoteness of the querries, was still dearer and that the Comnt Works could pat stone on the Hongkong market at 82.30 per ton. I have since learned that owing to peculier circumstances of the Government monopoly, the Cement Works are in an even more favourable position, vis a vis the rival foreign Company, than previously supposed. The normal cost of stone from the Government quarries delivered in Canton, includ- -ing cost of quarrying, likin, freight etc., is 81.30 per ton. The contractors well it to the Cement Works at a loss, at $1.00 or even considerably less per ten; but they more than woke up for tuis loss by illicit sales to outsiders who require lie: sales wich are winked at by the authorities in their case for the sake of the reduction in price to themselves, but very strictly prohibited in the case of all other contractors. The Cement Works thus obtain their stone below cost price, while the British company has of course to add to it the con- -tractors' profits. I aw unble in the circumstances to furnish proof of this unfair de-ling but nave no doubt that the facts are as alleged. I have etc.. (3d.) J. W. Jardeś un, Consul-General. P.S.

His Lajesty's Minister in Peking who was in- -formed by telegram of the attitude taken up by the Canton Cover.ment instructs His linjesty's Consul-General to inform the Tutu that he considers it a rose breach of faith; that it is impossible for the Tutu to declare that he has no control in the matter of taration over local authorities; that tur proposed tax is prohibitive and that he cannot recge ise the introduction of special taxation which applies on- -ly locally and not to the "hole country. His Lajesty's Consul-General has therefore the honour to forward this message for the Tutu's informa.... -tion and to request that he be good enough at once to instruct the Samshui Ungistrate not to proceed with the levy in question. , otio sud mi nilang m I .njilong 'Br3jwand= 2 tájol că nem tud „Zab ristnu vidt to ud kogu Bali Meyd miqgeruð ads monit .6.1 or a DN.

In communication by telephone today the civil Govenor stated that he would advise the reduction of the tax. It is impossible that he should deny that he has control over local autorities in the matter of taxation and it is clear from the fact of the Susmui magistrale refusing to grant licences unless the contractors pay the tax that the Government looks upon the levy as being in order. Such special taxation which is levied locally only and not over the whole country cannot be recognised and is Majesty's Consul-General has therefore the honour to request that instructions be given that the licences be issued and the tax ith- .Y 4 0 0 „100:tovej livad ud Imana)-Ileroŭ e'ydrapui nih No. 87 Confidential.

You are doubtless aware of the fact that on the 17th. instent Sir John Jorden gave the Wei Chiao Fu until the 24th. to have this question definitely settled, otherwise he would have to consider what retaliatory steps should be taken by the Hongkong Government, in order to mark their dissatisfaction with continued delay and obstruct- -ion. I have not consulted with Peking prior to writing the enclosure, as I am in hopes that it will result in decisive action being taken. Te labour, however, under the disadvantage that no stone can be moved from the orth River during the winter months, and that so far no applica- -tion has been lodged in respect of the quarry situated in the Shiuhing district, owing to no plans thereof being ready. I understand that the officials on the North River pro- -pose an impost of seven to eight cents per ton/licensing fee or royal- -ty, but I intend to defer discussion thereon until the proposal is brought forward by the Civil Administrator. I am authorised by the Legation to consider a suall royalty of two to three cents per ten, in order to escape the charge of putting forward demands out of reason. I have etc., (sd.) J. W.

Li, the Chino She Yuan of the Provincial Government, called on me and stated that, in the matter of limestone for the Green Island Cement Company, instructions had been issued by telegraph to the district officials concerned, directing them to allow supplies to be furnished on conditions similar to those ob- -taining prior to the Revolution. I therefore at once requested the Company to despatch contractors to the orth River for the purpose of making arrange ents with a view to early shipments. These mon have now returned and inform me that, according to the Magistrates at Ying Te and Ta-t'ang, their applications for permits to quarry cannot be entertained, until reference with regard to charges has been made to the Civil Governor. Seeing that I received assurances to the effect that so soon es applications were made they would, if in order, be granted, I consider that the attitude of the local officials furnishes fresh evidence of obstruction and I am thus reluctantly. forced to take action in the sense of ultimatum delivered to the Wai Chino Fu on the 17th. instant by Ilis majesty's minister. You are no doubt aware of its tenour and of the fact that it expired on December 24. As the contractors, however, had not on that date returned, I decided to await their arrival before addressing you. Tow that I am in receipt of their report I have the honour to state that I shall lose no time in concerting with His Excellency Sir Henry May, the Covernor of Hongkong, the steps that may be necessary to mark the dissatisfaction of the Colonial Government with the unfriendly treatment, which they continue to receive at the Lands of the Government of Kuangtung.

Apparently there is a report on Mr. de Rome which is on the list but has not been received.
