In the case of Revenue Officers, a second class has been provided. New appointments to be made in this class. The number of posts in the 1st and 2nd classes to be made equal as opportunity offers.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONGKONG. 16th. April, 1919.
I have the honour to inform Your Lordship
that I have recently received an application from the General
Chamber of Commerce of the Tung Kun District for registration
in this Colony as a Company limited by Guarantee, with a
licence to omit the word "Limited". The District of Tung Kun
is situated in the Province of Canton and lies between the
City of Canton and the District of San On, which forms the
Northern Boundary of the New Territories.
The Memorandum and Articles of Association
which accompanied the application were reported on by the
Secretary for Chinese Affairs as follows:-
"I put the following points for your considera-
"-tion in the matter of the Tung Kun District AssociR-
"-tion. It falls between a "Company" and a "Society"
"the essence of it is without doubt a "Society" as know
"in the Colony, and the attempt to force it into the "form of a Company is not very successful. Quite a number *of the Articles deal with objects which are proper
"neither for a Company nor for a Society: and which in "fact constitute some part of the reasons for the "restrictive legislation of the Societies Ordinance. It "would be a pity if those very necessary restrictions *could be evaded by simple registration as a Company".
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
VISCOUNT MILNER, G.C.B.,
The Association contemplated inter alia
the possibility of interference in the internal politics of both China and the Colony, and generally manifested an
undesirable tendency.
The meaning of the words "associated for
a lawful purpose" in section 3 of the Companies Ordinance, 1911, (No. 58 of 1911) would seem to be that this Government has the power to refuse registration if the "purpose" is deemed to be unlawful. The Attomey-General advised in this particular case "It does not appear that any of the objects "in the attached memorandum are unlawful, and probably "precedents for all of them can be found in Palmer's "Company Precedents". I have therefore granted the applica- -tion, informing the applicants only that I am not prepared to permit the proposed Company to be registered without the addition of the word "Limited" (section 21 Ordinance No. 58
of 1911).
As a result of this case, I have had under consideration the possibility of amending the Companies Ordinance, 1911, and thereby taking powers to enable the Government to prevent the formation of such obviously unacceptable companies. I hesitate, however, take any steps in the matter without putting the matter before Your Lordship in the first instance. The main difficulty in framing such legislation as would be necessary, would be, in my opinion, to devise satisfactory prohibitions which would not at the same time hamper perfectly legitimate trade. At the same time the grant of an unfettered dis- -cretion in such matters is hardly justifiable.
I should be glad to receive an expression of Your Lordship's views on this question, and I would refer to section 4(4) of the Societies Ordinance, 1911, No. 47 of 1911, whereby under certain conditions, the Governor-in-
-Council
Rondlosures
-Council has power to refuse the registration of Societies.
I enclose copies of section 3 of the
Companies Ordinance, 1911, and section 4(4) of the Societies
Ordinance, 1911, for easy reference,
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,

complying with the requirements of this Ordinance in respect of

GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONGKONG. 17th. April, 1919.
With reference to my Despatch No. 95 of
the 26th. March, I have the honour to report a sale of land without public auction in the form of an extension to lots already purchased, and I now submit the transaction for Your Lordship's covering authority.
At the end of 1915, the owner of Inland Lot 1948 purchased Inland Lot 1834 and Garden Lot 47 from the owner of these lots and at the same time applied to this Government for permission to purchase the lots cross-hatched in red and blue on the enclosed plan as extensions to his property. As these areas could not have been sold separately as Inland Lots, consisting for the most part of steep hillside, Sir Henry May signified his approval of their being sold to the applicant without public auction at a premium of 25 cents per square foot and crom rent of £300 per acre per annum.
Garden Lot 47 and the extension thereto have now been converted into an Inland Lot on payment of an additional premium of 20 cents per square foot and additional crom rent at $200 per acre per annum and in February of this year the ower of the property applied for a further extension of 1,846 square feet coloured red on the plan to the West of his lot; since the grant of this further extension
HE RIGHT HONOURABLE
VISCOUNT HILNER, G.C.B.,
secured the improvement of an unsightly and useless piece of ground between the Government retaining wall edged in blue on the plan, and the extensions already granted, I have given
approval for the sale to be carried out on the same terms as
were applied in the previous cases.

Endosures The S.
My Lord,
I have the honour to forward for Your
Lordship's information copies of the correspondence noted in the margin relating to the forcible removal from Hongkong waters of the interned Chinese Gunboat "Kwong Lee". This Tessel together with four others the "Kwong Kung", "Kang Ping",
"Ying Lun", and "Chai Lai" had been detained here in 1917 at the
request of the Chinese Authorities, after some considerable
correspondence with His Majesty's Minister at Peking and
others, since their movemente in these waters appeared to be
directed towards furthering the strife between the Northern
and Southern parties in China.
After receiving the copy of His Britannic
Majesty's Consul-General's letter to the Acting Tuchun dated
February 17th., I informed His Majesty's Minister at Peking of
the whole case, requesting him at the same time to press the
Chinese Government for the early removal of the 4 vessels still
remaining here.
Subsequent discussion and correspondence
having proved entirely without effect, as will be seen from
the further enclosures noted in the margin, I have taken steps
to safeguard this Government in the matter by releasing three
of the 4 vessels now remaining, namely the "Kang Ping", "Ying
Lun" and "Chai Lai", which have had no concern in the whole of
the "Kwong Lee" affair. These vessels have been returned to
Mr. THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
nclosures 6 to 9.
VISCOUNT MILNER, G.C.B..
Mr. Parsons, Surveyor to the Salt Gabelle, to which depart-
-ment they belong, while the fourth vessel, the "Kwong Kung",
has been detained under guard and can if necessary be sold to
cover any expenses incurred.
I have also, in order to expedite the
return of the "Kwong Lee" given instructions that another
vessel the "Kwong Kang" a gunboat which has recently been
sent from Canton to Hongkong for repair in one of the local shipyards, shall be detained in the Colony until a satis- -factory conclusion to the whole matter is reached.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
Austevom
Officer Administering the Government.
Enclosure
Government House,
Hongkong. 17th. January, 1919.
I have the honour to enclose a copy of a report
addressed by Inspector Gordon to the Captain Superintendent of Police regarding the removal of the Chinese Gunboat "Kwang Lee" fr from the Typhoon Shelter at Tamati yesterday.
The Captain of the "Kwong Lee' was on shore about 1.00 p.m. when a sailor from the ship reported to him that some
man in a launch had come from Canton and were unmooring the Gunboat. General Lung's Secretary had in the meantime applied to the Commodore for assistance, but as there was no Naval vessel with steam up it was impossible to render any assistance and the only available Police Launch was sent with the result stated in the report.
I should be obliged if you would enquire of the Authorities in Canton the reason for this extraordinary proceed- -ing and, if you concur, insist on the Gunboat being returned to Hongkong immediately.
I have etc.,

Officer Administering the Government.

About 4 p.m. on the 16th. instant I received telephone communication from the Deputy Superintendent of Police to the effect that an unknown launch had entered the Typhoon Shelter at Taumati, and taken in tow a Chinese Gunboat Kwong Lee which has been lying there for over 12 months. I received instructions to make every endeavour to stop them before they reached Chinese waters, and bring them back to Hongkong. I immediately despatched the Police Launch "Hapag" in charge of Sergeant Bond along with Sergeant Joy and 2 Chinese detectives. They overtook the launches near the entrance to Deep Bay, and orødered them to stop. The towing launch, which is believed to belong to the Customs Service was willing to do so, but the large one which was in tow and which was armed by at least a hundred men, the majority of whom were in uniform, and armed with Mauser rifles immediately cleared the ship for action trained the 4 inch gun, which she has mounted forward on the Police Launch and threatened to sink her, if they were interfered with. By threats, they compelled the small towing launch to carry on and invited the Police to follow them to Tai Shan Customs Station, if they had anything to say. As it was getting dark, and Sergeant Bond, seeing the hopelessness of his position against such a mob considered discretion the better part of valour and returned to Hongkong arriving at Station about 10 p.m.

I have the honour to enclose translation of a
despatch which I have received from His Excellency the Officer
Administering the Government, Hongkong, having reference to the
abduction from Hongkong waters of the gunboat Kuangli.
I am unwilling to believe that this highhanded act
has been committed in conformity with orders issued by Your Excellency and I have the honour to request that the vessel in question be at once sent back to Hongkong and that a special
representative be deputed to tender an adequate apology to the Colonial Government for the grave a breach of international law
and the comity of nations.
It was only due to great selfrestraint on the part of the Hongkong authorities that the abducting launch was not sunk by gunfire from the forsts, and I hope, that Your Excellency recognising how serious a state of affairs would thus have been
created will realise how essential it is to take immediate steps
to remove the unfortunate impression created. I would request Your Excellency to be so good as to let me have a reply without
loss of time, the matter being one of the most serious importance
and unless promptly settled may have far reaching consequences,
I have etc..

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your despatch transmitting translation of a communication from the Officer Administering the Government of Hongkong in regard to the removal of the gunboat Kwang Lee from Hongkong.
In reply, I have the honour to state that the "Kwang Lee" was originally a river patrol boat belonging to this province. I had received no previous information at all in regard to her returning to Canton on this occasion, but it is now reparted that she has actually arrived here. Her Commander states that as the boat had been in outside waters for a long time rations had become exhausted and he therefore agreed to return to Canton and continue patrol work as before.
These are the actual facts of the case and I trust that you will inform His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government of Hongkong accordingly.

Translation.
Petitioner, Sun Sik Cheung, Captain of the Gunboat Kwang Lei begs to submit to the Honourable Secretary for Chinese Affairs and Assistant Secretary for Chinese Affairs that on the 16th
January at 1.30 p.m. when he came as far as Iu Wa Street from Sui Wa Fong, Chan Yuen Hang, First Engineer, and Yu Kam Ping, sailor, came up and reported that at 12.30 p.m. a launch came to the port side of the Gunboat. Twenty or 30 men with revol- vers went on board the gunboat, cut apart the cable, and had the gunboat towed away in a westward direction from the Typhoon Refuge, Wongkok. On this report petitioner went at once to the Naval Office and the Harbour Office to report, but I was referred to the Honourable Secretary for Chinese Affairs. At 2.30 p.m. I saw the Assistant Secretary for Chinese Affairs
who at once asked the Water Police to send a launch to arrest it. On the 17th 12 noon, the 2nd. Engineer of the gunboat stole back from Canton and reported that the gunboat did not leave Kap-sui-mun until 7 p.m. on the 16th.
Dated 18th January, 1919.

On 16th January at 12.30 p.m. I was in my cabin alone. I heard a noise of something coming alongside: I started to go up and enquire, and at the hatchway were 3 men with pistols preventing me. I heard the sound of more people on deck too. One of the three came down to my cabin and tied my hands behind
2 Then the other men came down and took my box, they opened it and found inside it 2 revolvers and ammunition: they ran- sacked the cabin, and one went upstairs. Two remained with
I also heard the sound of the cable being "Struck".
Just before anything at all happened No. 3 had come to my cabin, asking for medicine: he was also tied up with me.
Then I felt the ship being towed. Later on they untied us - after the "pirates" had searched the whole boat.
I saw and heard them searching. We were not allowed on deck.
No. 3 asked permission to walk on deck: and got
it and asked to be released; three of the robbers (dressed in foreign clothing: the rest were in Chinese clothes) consulted, and then they blew the whistle. Shortly after a firewood junk came alongside: the robbers gave them a few dollars and releas- ed the military party · eleven in all. As it was dark, I also escaped by jumping on the junk: which brought us to Hongkong
at 6 a.m. on 17. 1. 19 and I went and reported direct to

I am a Tukiennese: about 20 men, armed, came on
others board the Kwong Lee and there were arders on the launch toving
All seemed to talk Cantonese. The three in foreign dress seemed to be officers.
Before the piracy, we had something over 20 men
in all on board - stokers and sailors, and a "military party" of 10, in addition to the 11 soldiers looked after by Nos. 2 & 3 - 11 includes Nos. 2 & 3. I don't know just how many stokers and sailors. We had no steam on the boilers.
I heard or saw nothing of any Police Launch, or
of anything of the nature. I did hear some one say "Don't use your gun: if you do, I will use mine". That was said from our deck in Cantonese. The word used for gun was "Pan".
I saw the launch which towed us: on escaping I saw its name the "Pun Yu" (# ). I know it as a Canton Police Launch: I have no doubt about it. It is an armed launch, of the Canton Police Department, (Water Police).

11 were Yunnan soldiers, wounded men.
6 or 7 were Fukkien men -
the remainder were Cantonese.
The "pirates" wore no uniform: ordinary Cantonese clothing. We do not know where it was we boarded the firewood junk; and we do not know the number or name of the punk. It took us to the Mongkok Refuge. I had no reason to think any of our men had been tempered with. I saw none of them after the robbers arrived.
The soldiers who came back with us are on board the Kung Kung - a 2 funnelled boat in the Refuge. We do not know where the Kwong Li le now.

Gun-boats stoved back.
Some time ago the gun-boats Kong Kung and Kong Li, being misled by Lung Tsai Kwong, took refuge in Hongkong and refused to be under the command of the Canton Government
Representations were made to the Hongkong Authorities, and a decision has now been reached. Yesterday they were taken back to Canton by the men sent by San Po Fan, Commissioner of River Defence, and their Captains were also changed.

I duly communicated to the Hongkong Government Your Excellency's despatch of January 20th. on the subject of the removal from Hongkong waters of the gunboat Kwangli, and was informed in reply that His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government was unable to accept the explanation therein offer- -ed. Mr. Severn sacerdingly requested me to press for the immediate return of the vessel and the tendering of a full apology
for the extraordinary action which had been taken in this matter.
Copies of reports made to the Hongkong authorities in comection
with the incident were also received by me and these I have had unofficially brought to Your Excellency's notice. I had hoped that
a perusal thereof would have resulted in action in the sense desired being taken, but as nothing so far has happened I am constrained once again to make the most serious representations to Your Excellency with a view to an immediate settlement of this
case. It is quite apparent from the statements furnished that the
abduction was carried out by the Canton Water Felice, a department nder Your Excellency's control and orders, and if they acted on their own initiative without instructions from Your Excellency it
to surely would be an easy matter to call them to account and t take
steps to deal with them for acting in a manner calculated to
imperià the relations between two friendly Governments.
The Military Government are at the present moment
seeking recognition at the hands of the Powers, and China as a
whole is presenting herself at the World's Peace Conference
with a view to claiming a sympathetic reconsideration of her place
among the nations. If, however, the British Government were compelled to point out, to this exalted tribunal that the

Military Government are situated, condoned, or were unwilling to make amends for, an act, which is tantamount to an act of piracy committed in the waters of an Allied Power, I need scarcely point out how prejudicial to the cause of the Republic this would be.
I would accordingly beg Your Excellency to lose no time in complying with the very reasonable request of the Hong- -kong Goverment, and in returning the Kwangli to Hongkong with a
suitable apology for the unwarrantable action of the Tater Police
Department, as unless their request be promptly complied with the Hongkong Government, who have exercised great forbearance hitherto, will have no alternative but to lay the whole matter by telegraph before His Majesty's Government in London, on whom the incident will create an impression far from favourable to China's Represent- -ation at the Peace Conference.
His Excellency
The Acting Tuchun.

Dear Fletcher,
Enclosure
Canton, 14th.March, 1919.
I had a long interview last night with Mr. Tu Chen-chai one of the heads of department of the Foreign Office of the Military Government and a man in close touch with Ta'en Ch'un- -bsuan, Among the matter we discussed was the question of the Kwang Lee; Wu told me that at the time the incident occurred he was in Shanghai but that when he came back and read the papers in
connection with the case he at once advised Ts'en to instruct the
Military Governor to retum the ship to Hongkong with an apology. Wu himself realised that the abduction of the ship was tantamount to an act of piracy and had practically got the whole thing fired up when unfortunately certain hot-heads intervened and urged that
the Kwang Lee should only be returned on a condition that a
quid pro quʼn be obtained in the shape of a promise that she be
sent back again together with the other interned vessels, and the
Military Governor therefore refused to discuss the matter any more.
I am writing now to ask if you can infom me privately whether in the event of the Kwang Lee being returned with an apology and
a subsequent application being made for the return to Canton of
all the vessels interned in Hongkong your Government will grant such application. If you can give me that assurance, I feel sure
that I will be able to arrange a settlement on these lines; that
is to say the Kwong Lee will be returned without any stipulation
but an application will subsequently be made for the return of the
whole lot, and if your Government can see its way to doing this the situation will be greatly eased.
Another question brought up was that of the
munitions of war in Hongkong. I told Wu that it was hopeless to
bring that up again but he begged me to ask you whether there was
no possible way of getting over the difficulty and said that
guarantees would be given that the ammunition would only be used
for putting down piracy. Can you suggest anything ?
There is a very strong feeling among the
