THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

HEREAS by an Order in Council dated the 29th day of February, 1868, made by Her Majesty

　　　　in exercise of the powers conferred upon Her by the Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862, Her Majesty was pleased to direct that the ships of Denmark the certificates of Danish nationality and registry of which were dated on and after the 1st October, 1867, should be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in the said certificates of Danish nationality and registry:

And whereas by another Order in Council dated the 30th day of December, 1878, Her Majesty was pleased to direct as regards Danish steam ships that if the owner or master of any merchant ship belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark and measured after the 1st day of October, 1878, which is propelled by steam or any other power requiring engine-room, should desire the allowance for engine-room in his ship to be estimated under the rules for engine-room measurement and allowance applicable to British ships instead of under the Danish rule, the engine-room should be measured and the allowance calculated according to the British rules:

56

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST FEBRUARY, 1896.

And whereas by another Order in Council dated the 20th day of April, 1883, Her Majesty was further pleased to direct that in the event of the net registered tonnage of merchant ships belonging to the said Kingdom of Denmark, which are propelled by steam or any other power requiring engine-room estimated under the British rules, being denoted in the said certificates of Danish nationality and registry issued on or after the 1st day of September, 1882, such ships should be deemed to be of the tonnage so denoted in the said certificates:

And whereas by Section 84 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, it is enacted that whenever it appears to Her Majesty the Queen in Council that the tonnage regulations of that Act have been adopted by any foreign country and are in force there, Her Majesty in Council may order that the ships of that country shall, without being remeasured in Her Majesty's dominions, be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry or other national papers in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes as the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of a British ship is deemed to be the tonnage of that ship:

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that the tonnage regulations of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, have been adopted by the Government of His Majesty the King of Denmark, and that such regulations are now in force in that country, having come into operation on the 1st day of April, 1895:

And whereas there still are or may be ships belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark to which the herein-before recited Orders of the 29th February, 1868, the 30th December, 1878, and the 20th April, 1883, may respectively apply, and it is expedient not to revoke the same, but to let the said recited Orders remain in force so long as there are any ships to which the same may so respectively apply :

And whereas the provisions of Section one of the Rules Publication Act, 1893, have been complied with:

NOW, THEREFORE, Her Majesty (in pursuance and exercise of the powers herein-before mentioned) is hereby pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to decree that the merchant ships of the Kingdom of Denmark the measurement whereof shall on or after the 1st day of April, 1895, have been ascertained and denoted in the certificates of registry or other national papers of such ships, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry or other national papers in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes as the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of a British ship is deemed to be the tonnage of that ship.

(1) TAI WAN NORTH COAST-EXISTENCE OF SUNKEN REEFS OFF KIRUN KO (KELUNG HARBOUR).

Information has been received from Lieutenant Ogura I. N., dated 28th November 1895, that he has found the following sunken reefs during Kelung harbour survey :-

(1) A rock, with a depth of 34 fathoms on it at low water springs, lies N. 77° W. distant 17 miles from Kelung island summit (560 ft.), and another rock, with a depth of 3 fathoms on it, lies further distant 1 cables at the same direction from the above.

The two rocks are named Shin-roa (new reef), and there are depths of 44 to 5 fathoms close around them, with 7 to 16 fathoms between. It is very probable that Audacious rock is one of these rocks. (2) A rock, with a depth of 22 fathoms on it at low water springs, lies S. 44° W. distant 8 cables from Kelung island summit. The rock is the shoalest part of a reef (named Kitsu-hoan-chotaa by natives) extending at the same direction from the island, and there are depths of 2 to 3 fathoms between it and the island.

This Notice affects the following Naval charts :-Nos. 122, 284.

(2) TAI WAN NORTH-WEST COAST TAMSUI HARBOUR-NON-EXHIBITION OF CHINESE BEACON LIGHT.

According to the report of Lieutenant Ogura I. N., dated 28th November 1895, at the present, the Chinese beacon light is not exhibited in consequence of its great damage.

The Council met pursuant to summons, the meeting fixed for the 12th December having been postponed until Saturday, the 14th December, 1895.

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 5th December, 1895, were read and confirmed. PAPER.-The Colonial Secretary, by command of His Excellency the Governor, laid on the table the report by the Director of Public Works on the cost of constructing the proposed road from Victoria Gap to Mount Kellet Road, and moved that it be referred to the Public Works Committee.

The Director of Public Works seconded.

Question-put and agreed to.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-The Colonial Secretary, by command of His Excellency the Governor, laid on the table the reports of the Finance Committee dated 5th and 14th December, 1895, (Nos. 9 and 10).

QUESTIONS. Mr. BELILIOS, pursuant to notice, asked the following questions :-

Will the Government be good enough to say why (experiments having shown the practicability of such a course) steps are not taken to pump up sea water to the higher levels with which to wash out the drains?

Will the Government kindly inform the Council of the reasons for the suspension, for many months, of all work upon, and apparent indefinite postponement of completion of, the base and pedestal for the Jubilee statue of Her Majesty the Queen? Is there any insuperable obstacle in the way of the erection of this statue, which has now for nearly a year been interned in a godown, instead of being placed in the position for which it was designed?

The Colonial Secretary replied.

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to prevent doubts as to the validity of documents heretofore sealed with the Seal of the Colonial Court of Admiralty of Hongkong.

HEREAS a seal, bearing the inscription "Colonial Court of Admiralty of Hongkong," has been used in the Registry of the Supreme Court for proceedings in the Admiralty Jurisdiction of the said Court. And whereas doubts have been expressed whether the use of the said seal was duly authorized.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:

1. Every writ, warrant, release, commission, attachment, or other instrument which has hitherto been issued from the Registry of the Supreme Court sealed with the above mentioned seal, shall, to all intents and for all purposes, be taken to have, and to have had, the same force and effect as if it had been issued, sealed with the seal of the Supreme Court, as authorized by section 6 of Ordinance 12 of 1873.

2. This Ordinance shall not come into operation unless and until the Governor notifies by Proclamation that it is Her Majesty's pleasure not to disallow the same and, there- after, it shall come into operation upon such day as the Governor shall notify by the same or any other Procla- mation.

Objects and Reasons.

Section 2 of the Colonial Courts of Admiralty Act, 1890, constituted the Supreme Court of this Colony a Colonial Court of Admiralty. The inscription on the former Vice- Admiralty Court Seal was, thereupon, altered to "Colonial Court of Admiralty of Hongkong," in 1891, and the Seal as altered was used for the Colonial Court of Admiralty.

As, however, the Colonial Court of Admiralty is, in reality, the Supreme Court exercising its Admiralty Juris- diction, it would seem the more correct practice to use, in Admiralty matters, the Supreme Court Seal which is described in section 6 of Ordinance 12 of 1873. In order, however, to prevent any question as to the validity of documents heretofore sealed with the Seal bearing the inscription "Colonial Court of Admiralty of Hongkong," it is deemed advisable to give by Ordinance statutory validity to such documents.

(2) A person shall be deemed to be in possession of goods or of the documents of title to goods, where the goods or documents are in his actual custody or are held by any other person subject to his control or for him or on his behalf: (3) The expression "goods" shall include wares and

merchandise:

(4) The expression "document of title" shall include any bill of lading, dock warrant, warehouse- keeper's certificate, and warrant or order for the delivery of goods, and any other document used in the ordinary course of business as proof of the possession or control of goods, or author- ising or purporting to authorise, either by endorsement or by delivery, the possessor of the document to transfer or receive goods there- by represented:

(5) The expression "pledge" shall include any con- tract pledging, or giving a lien or security on, goods, whether in consideration of an original advance or of a any

further or continuing advance

or of any pecuniary liability:

(6) The expression "person" shall include any body

of persons corporate or unincorporate. Dispositions by Mercantile Agents.

2. (1) Where a mercantile agent is, with the consent of the owner, in possession of goods or of the documents of title to goods, any sale, pledge, or other disposition of the goods, made by him when acting in the ordinary course of business of a mercantile agent, shall, subject to the provi- sions of this Ordinance, be as valid as if he were expressly authorised by the owner of the goods to make the same; provided that the person taking under the disposition acts in good faith, and has not at the time of the disposition notice that the person making the disposition has not authority to make the same.

(2) Where a mercantile agent has, with the consent of the owner, been in possession of goods or of the documents of title to goods, any sale, pledge, or other disposition, which would have been valid if the consent had continued, shall be valid notwithstanding the determination of the consent: provided that the person taking under the disposi- tion has not at the time thereof notice that the consent has been determined.

(3) Where a mercantile agent has obtained possession of any documents of title to goods by reason of his being or having been, with the consent of the owner, in possession of the goods represented thereby, or of any other documents of title to the goods, his possession of the first-mentioned documents shall, for the purposes of this Ordinance, be deemed to be with the consent of the owner.

(4) For the purposes of this Ordinance the consent of the owner shall be presumed in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

3. A pledge of the documents of title to goods shall be deemed to be a pledge of the goods.

4. Where a mercantile agent pledges goods as security for a debt or liability due from the pledgor to the pledgee before the time of the pledge, the pledgee shall acquire no further right to the goods than could have been enforced by the pledgor at the time of the pledge.

5. The consideration necessary for the validity of a sale, pledge, or other disposition, of goods, in pursuance of this Ordinance, may be either a payment in cash, or the delivery or transfer of other goods, or of a document of title to goods, or of a negotiable security, or any other valuable consideration; but where goods are pledged by a mercantile agent in consideration of the delivery or transfer of other goods, or of a document of title to goods, or of a negotiable security, the pledgee shall acquire no right or interest in the goods so pledged in excess of the value of the goods, documents, or security when so delivered or transferred in exchange.

6. For the purposes of this Ordinance an agreement made with a mercantile agent through a clerk or other person authorised in the ordinary course of business to make contracts of sale or pledge on his behalf shall be deemed to be an agreement with the agent.

7. (1) Where the owner of goods has given possession of the goods to another person for the purpose of consign- ment or sale, or has shipped the goods in the name of another person, and the consignee of the gools has not had notice that such person is not the owner of the goods, the consiguce shall, in respect of advances made to or for the use of such person, have the same lien on the goods as if such person were the owner of the goods, and may transfer any such lien to another person.

(2) Nothing in this section shall limit or affect the validity of any sale, pledge, or disposition, by a mercantile agent.

Dispositions by Sellers and Buyers of Goods.

8. Where a person, having soll goods, continues, or is, in possession of the goods or of the documents of title to the goods, the delivery or transfer by that person, or by a mercantile agent acting for him, of the goods or documents of title under any sale, pledge, or other disposition thereof, or under any agreement for sale, pledge, or other disposition thereof, to any person receiving the same in good faith and without notice of the previous sale, shall have the same effect as if the person making the delivery or transfer were expressly authorised by the owner of the goods to make the

same.

9. Where a person, having bought or agreed to buy goods, obtains with the consent of the seller possession of the goods or the documents of title to the goods, the delivery or transfer, by that person or by a mercantile agent acting for him, of the goods or documents of title, under any sale, pledge, or other disposition thereof, or under any agreement for sale, pledge, or other disposition thereof, to any person receiving the same in good faith and without notice of any lien or other right of the original seller in respect of the goods, shall have the same effect as if the person making the delivery or transfer were a mercantile agent in possession of the goods or documents of title with the consent of the owner. 10. Where a document of title to goods has been lawfully transferred to a person as a buyer or owner of the goods, and that person transfers the document to a person who takes the document in good faith and for valuable consider- ation, the last-mentioned transfer shall have the same effect

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRURAY, 1896.

for defeating any vendor's lien or right of stoppage in transitu as the transfer of a bill of lading has for defeating the right of stoppage in transitu.

Supplemental.

11. For the purposes of this Ordinance, the transfer of a document may be by endorsement, or, where the document is by custom or by its express terms transferable by delivery, or makes the goods deliverable to the bearer, then by delivery.

12. (1) Nothing in this Ordinance shall authorise an agent to exceed or depart from his authority as between himself and his principal, or exempt him from any liability, civil or criminal, for so doing.

(2) Nothing in this Ordinance shall prevent the owner of goods from recovering the goods from an agent or his trustee in bankruptcy at any time before the sale or pledge thereof, or shall prevent the owner of goods pledged by an agent from having the right to redeem the goods at any time before the sale thereof, on satisfying the claim for which the goods were pledged, and paying to the agent, if by him required, any money in respect of which the agent would by law be entitled to retain the goods or the docu- ments of title thereto, or any of them, by way of lien as against the owner, or from recovering from any person with whom the goods have been pledged any balance of money remaining in his hands as the produce of the sale of the goods after deducting the amount of his lien.

(3) Nothing in this Ordinance shall prevent the owner of goods sold by an agent from recovering from the buyer the price agreed to be paid for the same, or any part of that price, subject to any right of set off on the part of the buyer against the agent.

13. The provisions of this Ordinance shall be construed in amplification and not in derogation of the powers exer- ciseable by an agent independently of this Ordinance.

14 The enactments mentioned in the schedule to this Ordinance are hereby repealed as from the commencement of this Ordinance, but this repeal shall not affect any right acquired or liability incurred before the commencement of this Ordinance under any enactment hereby repealed.

15. This Ordinance shall commence and come into opera- tion on the

day of

one thousand eight hundred and ninety-six.

Reasons and Objects.

The object of this Ordinance is to bring into force, in this Colony, the provisions of the Factors Act 1889, which embodies the law of England in relation to this subject. At present, some of the Acts repealed in England are still in force in Hongkong. It is desirable that one Ordinance should deal completely with this matter.

ENTITLED

An Ordinance for codifying the Law relating to the Sale of Goods.

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

PART I.

FORMATION OF THE CONTRACT. Contract of Sule.

1. (1) A contract of sale of goods is a contract whereby the seller transfers or agrees to transfer the property in goods to the buyer for a money consideration, called the price. There may be a contract of sale between one part owner and another.

(2) A contract of sale may be absolute or conditional.

(3) Where under a contract of sale the property in the goods is transferred from the seller to the buyer the contract is called a sale; but where the transfer of the property in the goods is to take place at a future time or subject to some condition thereafter to be fulfilled the contract is called an agreement to sell.

(4) An agreement to sell becomes a sale when the time elapses or the conditions are fulfilled subject to which the property in the goods is to be transferred.

2. Capacity to buy and sell is regulated by the general law concerning capacity to contract, and to transfer and acquire property.

Provided that where necessaries are sold and delivered to an infant, or minor, or to a person who by reason of mental incapacity or drunkenness is incompetent to con- tract, he must pay a reasonable price therefor.

Necessaries in this section mean goods suitable to the condition in life of such infant or minor or other person, and to his actual requirements at the time of the sale and delivery.

Formalities of the Contract.

3. Subject to the provisions of this Ordinance and of any enactment in that behalf, a contract of sale may be made in writing (either with or without seal), or by word of mouth, or partly in writing and partly by word of mouth, or may be implied from the conduct of the parties.

Provided that nothing in this section shall affect the law relating to corporations.

4. (1) A contract for the sale of any goods of the value of one hundred dollars or upwards shall not be enforceable by action unless the buyer shall accept part of the goods so sold, and actually receive the same, or give something in earnest to bind the contract, or in part payment, or unless some note or memorandum in writing of the contract be made and signed by the party to be charged or his agent in that behalf.

(2) The provisions of this section apply to every such contract, notwithstanding that the goods may be intended to be delivered at some future time, or may not at the time of such contract be actually made, procured, or provided, or fit or ready for delivery, or some act may be requisite for the making or completing thereof, or rendering the same fit for delivery.

(3) There is an acceptance of goods within the meaning of this section when the buyer does any act in relation to the goods which recognises a pre-existing contract of sale whether there be an acceptance in performance of the

contract or not.

Subject matter of Contract.

5. (1) The goods which form the subject of a contract of sale may be either existing goods, owned or possessed by the seller, or goods to be manufactured or acquired by the seller after the making of the contract of sale, in this Ordinance called "future goods."

(2) There may be a contract for the sale of goods, the acquisition of which by the seller depends upon a con- tingency which may or may not happen.

(3) Where by a contract of sale the seller purports to effect a present sale of future goods, the contract operates as an agreement to sell the goods.

6. Where there is a contract for the sale of specific goods, and the goods without the knowledge of the seller have perished at the time when the contract is made, the contract is void.

7. Where there is an agreement to sell specific goods, and subsequently the goods, without any fault on the part of the seller or buyer, perish before the risk passes to the buyer, the agreement is thereby avoided.

The Price.

8. (1) The price in a contract of sale may be fixed by the contract, or may be left to be fixed in manner thereby agreed, or may be determined by the course of dealing between the parties.

(2) Where the price is not determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions the buyer must pay a reasonable price. What is a reasonable price is a question of fact dependent on the circumstances of each particular

case.

9. (1) Where there is an agreement to sell goods on the terms that the price is to be fixed by the valuation of a third party, and such third party cannot or does not make such valuation, the agreement is avoided; provided that if the goods or any part thereof have been delivered to and appropriated by the buyer he must pay a reasonable price therefor.

(2) Where such third party is prevented from making the valuation by the fault of the seller or buyer, the party not in fault may maintain an action for damages against the party in fault.

Conditions and Warranties.

10. (1) Unless a different intention appears from the terms of the contract, stipulations as to time of payment are not deemed to be of the essence of a contract of sale. Whether any other stipulation as to time is of the essence of the contract or not depends on the terms of the contract. (2) In a contract of sale "month" means prima facie calendar month.

11. (1) Where a contract of sale is subject to any condition to be fulfilled by the seller, the buyer may waive the condition, or may elect to treat the breach of such condition as a breach of warranty, and not as a ground for treating the contract as repudiated.

(2) Whether a stipulation in a contract of sale is a condition, the breach of which may give rise to a right to treat the contract as repudiated, or a warranty, the breach of which may give rise to a claim for damages but not a right to reject the goods and treat the contract as repudiated, depends in each case on the construction of the contract. A stipulation may be a condition, though called a warranty in the contract:

(3) Where a contract of sale is not severable, and the buyer has accepted the goods, or part thereof, or where the contract is for specific goods, the property in which has passed to the buyer, the breach of any condition to be fulfilled by the seller can only be treated as a breach of warranty, and not as a ground for rejecting the goods and treating the contract as repudiated, unless there be a term of the contract, express or implied, to that effect.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1896.

(4) Nothing in this section shall affect the case of any condition or warranty, fulfilment of which is excused by law by reason of impossibility or otherwise.

12. In a contract of sale, unless the circumstances of the contract are such as to show a different intention, there is-

(1) An implied condition on the part of the seller that in the case of a sale he has a right to sell the goods, and that in the case of an agree- ment to sell he will have a right to sell the goods at the time when the property is to pass : (2) An implied warranty that the buyer shall have and

enjoy quiet possession of the goods:

(3) An implied warranty that the goods shall be free from any charge or encumbrance in favour of a

any third party, not declared or known to the buyer before or at the time when the contract is made.

13. Where there is a contract for the sale of goods by description, there is an implied condition that the goods shall correspond with the description; and if the sale be by sample, as well as by description, it is not sufficient that the bulk of the goods corresponds with the sample if the goods do not also correspond with the description.

14. Subject to the provisions of this Ordinance and of any enactment in that behalf, there is no implied warranty or condition as to the quality or fitness for any particular purpose of goods supplied under a contract of sale, except as follows:-

(1) Where the buyer, expressly or by implication, makes known to the seller the particular pur-

pose

for which the goods are required, so as to show that the buyer relies on the seller's skill or judgment, and the goods are of a description which it is in the course of the seller's business to supply (whether he be the manufacturer or not), there is an implied condition that the goods shall be reasonably fit for such purpose, provided that in the case of a contract for the sale of a specified article under its patent or other trade name, there is no implied condition as to its fitness for any particular purpose: (2) Where goods are bought by description from a seller who deals in goods of that description (whether he be the manufacturer or not), there is an implied condition that the goods shall be of merchantable quality; provided that if the buyer has examined the goods, there shall be no implied condition as regards defects which such examination ought to have revealed: (3) An implied warranty or condition as to quality or fitness for a particular purpose may be annexed by the usage of trade:

(4) An express warranty or condition does not negative a warranty or condition implied by this Ordinance unless inconsistent therewith.

Sale by Sample.

15. (1) A contract of sale is a contract for sale by sample where there is a term in the contract, express or implied, to that effect.

(2) In the case of a contract for sale by sample-

(a) There is an implied condition that the bulk shall correspond with the sample in quality:

(b) There is an implied condition that the buyer shall have a reasonable opportunity of com- paring the bulk with the sample:

(c) There is an implied condition that the goods shall be free from any defect, rendering them unmerchantable, which would not be apparent on reasonable examination of the sample.

PART II.

17. (1) Where there is a contract for the sale of specifie or ascertained goods the property in them is transferred to the buyer at such time as the parties to the contract intend it to be transferred.

(2) For the purpose of ascertaining the intention of the parties regard shall be had to the terms of the contract, the conduct of the parties, and the circumstances of the

case.

18. Unless a different intention appears, the following are rules for ascertaining the intention of the parties as to the time at which the property in the goods is to pass to the buyer.

Rule 1.-Where there is an unconditional contract for the sale of specific goods in a deliverable state, the property in the goods passes to the buyer when the contract is made, and it is immaterial whether the time of payment or the time of delivery, or both, be postponed.

Rule 2-Where there is a contract for the sale of specific goods and the seller is bound to do something to the goods, for the purpose of putting them into a deliver- able state, the property does not pass until such thing be done, and the buyer has notice thereof. Rule 3.-Where there is a contract for the sale of specific goods in a deliverable state, but the seller is bound to weigh, measure, test, or do some other act or thing with reference to the goods for the purpose of ascertaining the price, the property does not pass until such act or thing be done, and the buyer has notice thereof.

""

Rule 4.-When goods are delivered to the buyer on approval or on sale or return or other similar terms the property therein passes to the buyer :-

(a) When he signifies his approval or acceptance to the seller or does any other act adopting the

transaction:

(b) If he does not signify his approval or acceptance to the seller but retains the goods without giving notice of rejection, then, if a time has been fixed for the return of the goods, on the expiration of such time, and, if no time has been fixed, on the expiration of a reasonable time. What is a reasonable time is a question of fact. Rule 5-(i) Where there is a contract for the sale of unascertained or future goods by description, and goods of that description and in a deliverable state are unconditionally appropriated to the contract, either by the seller with the assent of the buyer, or by the buyer with the assent of the seller, the pro- perty in the goods thereupon passes to the buyer. Such assent may be express or implied, and may be given either before or after the appropriation is made: (ii) Where, in pursuance of the contract, the seller delivers the goods to the buyer or to a carrier or other bailee (whether named by the buyer or not) for the purpose of transmission to the buyer, aud does not reserve the right of disposal, he is deemed to have unconditionally appropriated the goods to the

contract.

19. (1) Where there is a contract for the sale of specific goods or where goods are subsequently appropriated to the contract, the seller may, by the terms of the contract or appropriation, reserve the right of disposal of the goods until certain conditions are fulfilled. In such case, not- withstanding the delivery of the goods to the buyer, or to a carrier or other bailee for the purpose of transmission to the buyer, the property in the goods does not pass to the buyer until the conditions imposed by the seller are fulfilled.

(2) Where goods are shipped, and by the bill of lading the goods are deliverable to the order of the seller or his agent, the seller is prima facie deemed to reserve the right of disposal.

(3) Where the seller of goods draws on the buyer for the price, and transmits the bill of exchange and bill of lading to the buyer together to secure acceptance or payment of the bill of exchange, the buyer is bound to return the bill of lading if he does not honour the bill of exchange, and if he wrongfully retains the bill of lading the property in the goods does not pass to him.

20. Unless otherwise agreed, the goods remain at the with property. seller's risk until the property therein is transferred to the buyer, but when the property therein is transferred to the

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1896.

buyer, the goods are at the buyer's risk whether delivery has been made or not.

Provided that where delivery has been delayed through the fault of either buyer or seller the goods are at the risk of the party in fault as regards any loss which might not have occurred but for such fault.

Provided also that nothing in this section shall affect the duties or liabilities of either seller or buyer as a bailee of the goods of the other party.

Transfer of Title.

21. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Ordinance. where goods are sold by a person who is not the owner thereof, and who does not sell them under the authority or with the consent of the owner, the buyer acquires no better title to the goods than the seller had, unless the owner of the goods is by his conduct precluded from denying the seller's authority to sell.

(2) Provided also that nothing in this Ordinance shall affect-

(a) The provisions of any Acts or Ordinances relating to Factors which may from time to time be in force in this Colony, or any enactment enabling the apparent owner of goods to dispose of them as if he were the true owner thereof;

(b) The validity of any contract of sale under any speci common law or statutory power of sale or under the order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

22. (1) Where goods are sold in market overt, according to the usage of the market, the buyer acquires a good title to the goods, provided he buys them in good faith and without notice of any defect or want of title on the part of the seller.

(2) Nothing in this section shall affect the law relating to the sale of horses.

23. When the seller of goods has a voidable title thereto, but his title has not been avoided at the time of the sale, the buyer acquires a good title to the goods, provided he buys them in good faith and without notice of the seller's defect of title.

24. (1) Where goods have been stolen and the offender is prosecuted to conviction, the property in the goods so stolen revests in the person who was the owner of the goods, or his personal representative, notwithstanding any intermediate dealing with them, whether by sale in market overt or otherwise.

(2) Notwithstanding any enactment to the contrary, where goods have been obtained by fraud or other wrong- ful means not amounting to larceny, the property in such goods shall not revest in the person who was the owner of the goods, or his personal representative, by reason only of the conviction of the offender.

25. (1) Where a person having sold goods continues or is in possession of the goods, or of the documents of title to the goods, the delivery or transfer by that person, or by a mercantile agent acting for him, of the goods or documents of title under any sale, pledge, or other dispo- sition thereof, to any person receiving the same in good faith and without notice of the previous sale, shall have the same effect as if the person making the delivery or transfer were expressly authorised by the owner of the goods to make the same.

(2) Where a person having bought or agreed to buy goods obtains, with the consent of the seller, possession of the goods or the documents of title to the goods, the deli- very or transfer by that person, or by a mercantile agent acting for him, of the goods or documents of title, under any sale, pledge, or other disposition thereof, to any person receiving the same in good faith and without notice of any lien or other right of the original seller in respect of the goods, shall have the same effect as if the person making the delivery or transfer were a mercantile agent in possession of the goods or documents of title with the consent of the owner.

Provided that no such writ shall prejudice the title to such goods acquired by any person in good faith and for valuable consideration, unless such person had at the time when he acquired his title notice that such writ or any other writ by virtue of which the goods of the execution debtor might be seized or attached had been delivered to and remained unexecuted in the hands of the bailiff.

(2) In this section the term "bailiff" includes any officer charged with the enforcement of a writ of execution

PART III.

PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTRACT.

27. It is the duty of the seller to deliver the goods, and of the buyer to accept and pay for them, in accordance with the terms of the contract of sale.

28. Unless otherwise agreed, delivery of the goods and payment of the price are concurrent conditions, that is to say, the seller must be ready and willing to give possession of the goods to the buyer in exchange for the price, and the buyer must be ready and willing to pay the price in exchange for possession of the goods.

29. (1) Whether it is for the buyer to take possession of the goods or for the seller to send them to the buyer is a question depending in each case on the contract, express or implied, between the parties. Apart from any such contract, express or implied, the place of delivery is the seller's place of business, if he have one, and if not, his residence Provided that, if the contract be for the sale of specific goods, which to the knowledge of the parties when the contract is made are in some other place, then that place is the place of delivery.

(2) Where under the contract of sale the seller is bound to send the goods to the buyer, but no time for sending them is fixed, the seller is bound to send them within a reasonable time.

(3) Where the goods at the time of sale are in the pos- session of a third person, there is no delivery by seller to buyer unless and until such third person acknowledges to the buyer that he holds the goods on his behalf; provided that nothing in this section shall affect the operation of the issue or transfer of any document of title to goods.

(4) Demand or tender of delivery may be treated as ineffectual unless made at a reasonable hour. What is a reasonable hour is a question of fact.

(5) Unless otherwise agreed, the expenses of and inciden- tal to putting the goods into a deliverable state must be borne by the seller.

30. (1) Where the seller delivers to the buyer a quan- tity of goods less than he contracted to sell, the buyer may reject them, but if the buyer accepts the goods so delivered he must pay for them at the contract rate.

(2) Where the seller delivers to the buyer a quantity of goods larger than he contracted to sell, the buyer may accept the goods included in the contract and reject the rest, or he may reject the whole. If the buyer accepts the whole of the goods so delivered he must pay for them at the contract rate.

(3) Where the seller delivers to the buyer the goods he contracted to sell mixed with goods of a different description not included in the contract, the buyer may accept the goods which are in accordance with the contract and reject the rest, or he may reject the whole.

(4) The provisions of this section are subject to any usage of trade, special agreement, or course of dealing between the parties.

31. (1) Unless otherwise agreed, the buyer of goods is not bound to accept delivery thereof by instalments.

(2) Where there is a contract for the sale of goods to be delivered by stated instalments, which are to be separately paid for, and the seller makes defective deliveries in respect of one or more instalments, or the buyer neglects or refuses to take delivery of or pay for one or more instalments, it is a question in each case depending on the

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1896.

terms of the contract and the circumstances of the case, whether the breach of contract is a repudiation of the whole contract or whether it is a severable breach giving rise to a claim for compensation but not to a right to treat the whole contract as repudiated.

32. (1) Where, in pursuance of a contract of sale, the seller is authorised or required to send the goods to the buyer, delivery of the goods to a carrier, whether named. by the buyer or not, for the purpose of transmission to the buyer is prima facie deemed to be a delivery of the goods to the buyer.

(2) Unless otherwise authorised by the buyer, the seller must make such contract with the carrier on behalf of the buyer as may be reasonable having regard to the nature of the goods and the other circumstances of the case. If the seller omit so to do, and the goods are lost or damaged in course of transit, the buyer may decline to treat the delivery to the carrier as a delivery to himself, or may hold the seller responsible in damages.

(3) Unless otherwise agreed, where goods are sent by the seller to the buyer by a route involving sea transit, under circumstances in which it is usual to insure, the seller must give such notice to the buyer as may enable him to insure them during their sea transit, and, if the seller fails to do so, the goods shall be deemed to be at his risk during such sea transit.

33. Where the seller of goods agrees to deliver them at his own risk at a place other than that where they are when sold, the buyer must, nevertheless, unless otherwise agreed, take any risk of deterioration in the goods neces- sarily incident to the course of transit.

34. (1) Where goods are delivered to the buyer, which he has not previously examined, he is not deemed to have accepted them unless and until he has had a reasonable opportunity of examining them for the purpose of ascertain- ing whether they are in conformity with the contract.

(2) Unless otherwise agreed, when the seller tenders. delivery of goods to the buyer, he is bound, on request, to afford the buyer a reasonable opportunity of examining the goods for the purpose of ascertaining whether they are in conformity with the contract.

35. The buyer is deemed to have accepted the goods. when he intimates to the seller that he has accepted them, or when the goods have been delivered to him, and he does any act in relation to them which is inconsistent with the ownership of the seller, or when, after the lapse of a reason- able time, he retains the goods without intimating to the seller that he has rejected them.

36. Unless otherwise agreed, where goods are delivered. to the buyer, and he refuses to accept them, having the right so to do, he is not bound to return them to the seller, but it is sufficient if he intimates to the seller that he refuses to accept them.

37. When the seller is ready and willing to deliver the goods and requests the buyer to take delivery, and the buyer does not within a reasonable time after such request take delivery of the goods, he is liable to the seller for any loss occasioned by his neglect or refusal to take delivery, and also for a reasonable charge for the care and custody of the goods. Provided that nothing in this section shall affect the rights of the seller where the neglect or refusal of the buyer to take delivery amounts to a repudiation of the contract.

Unpaid Seller's Lien.

40. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Ordinance, the unpaid seller of goods who is in possession of them is entitled to retain possession of them until payment or tender of the price in the following cases, namely:-

(a) Where the goods have been sold without any

stipulation as to credit;

(b) Where the goods have been sold on credit, but

the term of credit has expired;

(c) Where the buyer becomes insolvent.

(2) The seller may exercise his right of lien notwith- standing that he is in possession of the goods as agent or bailee for the buyer.

41. Where an unpaid seller has made part delivery of the goods, he may exercise his right of lien or retention on the remainder, unless such part delivery has been made under such circumstances as to show an agreement to waive the lien or right of retention.

42. (1) The unpaid seller of goods loses his lien or right of retention thereon-

(a) When he delivers the goods to a carrier or other bailee for the purpose of transmission to the buyer without reserving the right of disposal of the goods;

(b) When the buyer or his agent lawfully obtains

(c) By waiver thereof.

(2) The unpaid seller of goods, having a lien or right of retention thereon, does not lose his lien or right of reten- tion by reason only that he has obtained judgment or decree for the price of the goods.

Stoppage in transitu.

43. Subject to the provisions of this Ordinance, when the buyer of goods becomes insolvent, the unpaid seller who has parted with the possession of the goods has the right of stopping them in transitu, that is to say, he may resume possession of the goods as long as they are in course of transit, and may retain them until payment or tender of the price.

44. (1) Goods are deemed to be in course of transit from the time when they are delivered to a carrier by land or water, or other bailee for the purpose of transmission to the buyer, until the buyer, or his agent in that behalf, takes delivery of them from such carrier or other bailee.

(2) If the buyer or his agent in that behalf obtains deliv- ery of the goods before their arrival at the appointed destination, the transit is at an end.

(3) If, after the arrival of the goods at the appointed destination, the carrier or other bailee acknowledges to the buyer, or his agent, that he holds the goods on his behalf and continues in possession of them as bailee for the buyer, or his agent, the transit is at an end, and it is immaterial that a further destination for the goods may have been indicated by the buyer.

(4) If the goods are rejected by the buyer, and the carrier or other bailee continues in possession of them, the transit is not deemed to be at an end, even if the seller has refused to receive them back.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1896.

(5) When goods are delivered to a ship chartered by the buyer it is a question depending on the circumstances of the particular case, whether they are in the possession of the master as a carrier, or as agent to the buyer.

(6) Where the carrier or other bailee wrongfully refuses to deliver the goods to the buyer, or his agent in that behalf, the transit is deemed to be at an end.

(7) Where part delivery of the goods has been made to the buyer, or his agent in that behalf, the remainder of the goods may be stopped in transitu, unless such part delivery has been made under such circumstances as to show an agreement to give up possession of the whole of the goods.

45. (1) The unpaid seller may exercise his right of stoppage in transitu either by taking actual possession of the goods, or by giving notice of his claim to the carrier or other bailee in whose possession the goods are. Such notice may be given either to the person in actual possession of the goods or to his principal. In the latter case the notice, to be effectual, must be given at such time and under such circumstances that the principal, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, may communicate it to his servant or agent in time to prevent a delivery to the buyer.

(2) When notice of stoppage in transitu is given by the seller to the carrier, or other bailee in possession of the goods, he must re-deliver the goods to, or according to the directions of, the seller. The expenses of such re-delivery must be borne by the seller.

Re-sale by Buyer or Seller.

46. Subject to the provisions of this Ordinance the unpaid seller's right of lien or retention or stoppage in transitu is not affected by any sale, or other disposition of the goods which the buyer may have made, unless the seller has assented thereto.

Provided that where a document of title to goods has been lawfully transferred to any person as buyer or owner of the goods, and that person transfers the document to a person who takes the document in good faith and for valuable consideration, then, if such last-mentioned transfer was by way of sale the unpaid seller's right of lien or retention or stoppage in transitu is defeated, and if such last-mentioned transfer was by way of pledge or other disposition for value, the unpaid seller's right of lien or retention or stoppage in transitu can only be exercised subject to the rights of the transferee.

47. (1) Subject to the provisions of this section, a contract of sale is not rescinded by the mere exercise by an unpaid seller of his right of lien or retention or stoppage in transitu.

(2) Where an unpaid seller who has exercised his right of lien or retention or stoppage in transitu re-sells the goods, the buyer acquires a good title thereto as against the original buyer.

(3) Where the goods are of a perishable nature, or where the unpaid seller gives notice to the buyer of his intention to re-sell, and the buyer does not within a reasonable time pay or tender the price, the unpaid seller may re-sell the goods and recover from the original buyer damages for any loss occasioned by his breach of contract.

(4) Where the seller expressly reserves a right of re-sale in case the buyer should make default, and, on the buyer making default, re-sells the goods, the original contract of sale is thereby rescinded, but without prejudice to any claim the seller may have for damages.

ACTIONS FOR BREACH OF THE CONTRACT. Remedies of the Seller.

48. (1) Where, under a contract of sale, the property in the goods has passed to the buyer, and the buyer wrongfully neglects or refuses to pay for the goods according to the terms of the contract, the seller may maintain an action against him for the price of the goods.

(2) Where, under a contract of sale, the price is payable on a day certain irrespective of delivery, and the buyer wrongfully neglects or refuses to pay such price, the seller may maintain an action for the price, although the property in the goods has not passed, and the goods have not been appropriated to the contract.

Interest and special damages.

Exclusion of implied terms and conditions.

Reasonable time a question of fact.

Rights, &o., enforceable by action.

49. (1) Where the buyer wrongfully neglects or refuses. to accept and pay for the goods, the seller may maintain an action against him for damages for non-acceptance.

(2) The measure of damages is the estimated loss directly and naturally resulting, in the ordinary course of events, from the buyer's breach of contract.

(3) Where there is an available market for the goods in question the measure of damages is prima facie to be ascertained by the difference between the contract price and the market or current price at the time or times when the goods ought to have been accepted, or, if no time was fixed for acceptance, then at the time of the refusal to accept.

Remedies of the Buyer.

50. (1) Where the seller wrongfully neglects or refuses to deliver the goods to the buyer, the buyer may maintain an action against the seller for damages for non-delivery.

(2) The measure of damages is the estimated loss directly and naturally resulting, in the ordinary course of events, from the seller's breach of contract.

(3) Where there is an available market for the goods in question the measure of damages is prima facie to be ascertained by the difference between the contract price. nd the market or current price of the goods at the time or times when they ought to have been delivered, or, if no time was fixed, then at the time of the refusal to deliver.

51. In any action for breach of contract to deliver specific or ascertained goods the court may, if it thinks fit, on the application of the plaintiff, by its judgment or decree direct that the contract shall be performed specifically, without giving the defendant the option of retaining the goods on payment of damages. The judgment or decree may be unconditional, or upon such terms and conditions as to damages, payment of the price, and otherwise, as to the court may seem just, and the application by the plaintiff may be made at any time before judgment or decree.

52. (1) Where there is a breach of warranty by the seller, or where the buyer elects, or is compelled, to treat any breach of a condition on the part of the seller as a breach of warranty, the buyer is not by reason only of such breach of warranty entitled to reject the goods; but he may (a) set up against the seller the breach of warranty

in diminution or extinction of the price; or (b) maintain an action against the seller for damages

for the breach of warranty.

(2) The measure of damages for breach of warranty is the estimated loss directly and naturally resulting, in the ordinary course of events, from the breach of warranty.

(3) In the case of breach of warranty of quality such loss is prima facie the difference between the value of the goods at the time of delivery to the buyer and the value they would have had if they had answered to the warranty.

(4) The fact that the buyer has set up the breach of warranty in diminution or extinction of the price does not prevent him from maintaining an action for the same breach of warranty if he has suffered further damage.

53. Nothing in this Ordinance shall affect the right of the buyer or the seller to recover interest or special damages in any case where by law interest or special damages may be recoverable, or to recover money paid where the consi- deration for the payment of it has failed.

PART VI.

SUPPLEMENTARY.

54. Where any right, duty, or liability would arise under a contract of sale by implication of law, it may be negatived or varied by express agreement or by the course of dealing between the parties, or by usage, if the usage be such as to bind both parties to the contract.

55. Where, by this Ordinance, any reference is made to a reasonable time the question what is a reasonable time is a question of fact.

56. Where any right, duty, or liability is declared by this Ordinance it may, unless otherwise by this Ordinance provided, be enforced by action.

‧.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1896.

57. In the case of a sale by auction-

(1) Where goods are put up for sale by auction in lots, each lot is prima facie deemed to be the subject of a separate contract of sale:

(2) A sale by auction is complete when the auctioneer announces its completion by the fall of the hammer, or in other customary manner. Until such announcement is made any bidder may retract his bid:

(3) Where a sale by auction is not notified to be subject to a right to bid on behalf of the seller, it shall not be lawful for the seller to bid himself or to employ any person to bid at such sale, or for the auctioneer knowingly to take any bid from the seller or any such person: Any sale contravening this rule may be treated as frau- dulent by the buyer:

(4) A sale by auction may be notified to be subject to a reserved or upset price, and a right to bid may also be reserved expressly by or on behalf of the seller.

Where a right to bid is expressly reserved, but not otherwise, the seller, or any one person on his behalf, may bid at the auction.

(2) The rules of the common law, including the law merchant, save in so far as they are inconsistent with the express provisions of this Ordinance, and in particular the rules relating to the law of principal and agent and the effect of fraud, misrepresentation, duress or coercion, mis- take, or other invalidating cause, shall continue to apply to contracts for the sale of goods.

(3) Nothing in this Ordinance or in any repeal effected thereby shall affect the enactments relating to bills of sale, or any enactment relating to the sale of goods which is not expressly repealed by this Ordinance.

Reasons and Objects.

The object of this Ordinance is to bring into force in this Colony the recent admirable Codification of the Law relating to the Sale of Goods which is embodied in the Sale of Goods Act, 1893. Only such verbal alterations have been made as are required to adapt the Imperial Act to existing law in this Colony. It is desirable that the law of Hongkong on this important subject should be the same as that of England, and yet, while the law in England as to the Sale of Goods is now to be found set forth in one clear Statute, it is necessary in Hongkong to consult Imperial Statutes, local Ordinances and a considerable number of text-books and judicial decisions to ascertain, in many instances, what that law really is. Such a state of things should obviously be remedied by adopting the Codification.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15?? FEBRUARY, 1896.

A BILL

ENTITLED)

An Ordinance to amend the practice as to the

WHE

vacating of the registration of a Lis pendens.

HEREAS a registered Lis pendens cannot be vacated without the consent of the person by whom it was registered, and such consent is sometimes withheld although the suit or proceeding is at an end or is not being bona fide prosecuted Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

J

1. The Supreme Court or any Judge thereof, before whom the property sought to be bound is in litigation, may upon the determination of the Lis pendens, or during the pendency thereof, where the said Court or Judge shall be satisfied that the litigation is not prosecuted bona fide, or for other good cause shown, make an order, if such Court or Judge shall see fit, for the vacating of the registration in the Land Office of such Lis pendens without the consent of the party who registered it, and may, in the discretion of the said Court or Judge, direct the party on whose behalf the registration was made to pay all the costs and expenses occasioned by the registration or the vacating thereof, including the costs of the application to vacate, or may make such other order as to such costs or any of them as to such Court or Judge may seem just.

2. The application to vacate a Lis pendens under the foregoing section may be in a summary way by petition or motion in Court or by summous at Chambers, and may be made by any person interested in the property against which the Lis pendens has been registered, whether such person is a party to the Lis pendens or not.

3. If an order shall be made for vacating any such registration, the Land Officer shall, upon the filing with him of a memorial and an office copy of such order, cuter a discharge of such Lis pendens on the Land Office register, and may issue certificates of such Entry, and shall demand for every such Entry the sum of Two Dollars, and shall demand for every such certificate the sum of One Dollar. Such fees shall be paid by the Land Officer into the Colonial Treasury.

Reasons and Objects.

Ordinance No. 10 of 1856 provides for the registration in the Land Office of lites pendentes which, as enacted by that Ordinance, shall have the same force and effect as a Judgment registered in conformity with Ordinance No. 3 of 1844. Since the passing of the first mentioned Ordinance it has been the practice in this Colony to register, on behalf of Plaintiffs in suits affecting lands, a Lis pendens against the property affected. There is, however, no provision in Ordinance No. 10 of 1856 for the vacating of the registration of a Lis pendens and the only means therefore by which, as the law now stands, a Defendant can in

any way clear his title to property against which a Lis pendens has been registered, is by registering a Decree in his favour in the suit.

Should the Defendant die before the determination of the suit and the Plaintiff not proceed, or should the Defendant not be beneficially interested, or not be solely interested, in the property against which a Lis pendens has been registered no other person, interested in such property but not being a party to the suit, can bring it to a conclusion, and such person, therefore, has no possible means of clearing the register in the Land Office from the blot upon the title to the property caused by the registration of the Lis pondeus, save with the consent of the Plaintiff at whose mercy he is placed.

Until nearly thirty years ago the same difficulty was experienced in England by persons interested in property there against which a Lis pendens had been registered, and it was found expedient to pass an Act (30 and 31 Victoria c. 47) to remedy the difficulty. This Bill is drafted upon the same lines as that Act and will have the effect of bringing the law of Hongkong into line with that prevailing in England.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to provide for the extradition of Fugitive Criminals from the Territory of the British North Borneo Company.

WHEREAS persons who have committed certain

crimes or offences within the Territory of the British North Borneo Company may escape to this Colony and it is expedient to provide for the apprehension of such fugitive criminals from Justice and for their surrender to the Government of British North Borneo in order that they may be dealt with according to law: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as The North Borneo Extradition Ordinance, 1896.

2. In the interpretation of this Ordinance and the schedules thereto the following expressions shall, unless repugnant to or inconsistent with the context, have the meaning hereine after assigned to them, viz. :--

"Governor of North Borneo" means the Governor of the Territory of the British North Borneo Com- pany and includes the person for the time being administering the Government of such Territory. "North Borneo" means the Territory of the British

North Borneo Company.

"Extradition Crime" means any crime or offence which if committed in the Colony would be one of the crimes or offences mentioned in the first schedule hereto.

66

Fugitive Criminal" means any person accused or convicted of an extradition crime committed with- in the jurisdiction of North Borneo who is or is suspected of being in the Colony of Hongkong.

The extradition crimes mentioned in the first schedule to this Ordinance shall be construed according to the law in force in the Colony at the date of the alleged extradition crime.

Provided always that the Governor of Hongkong in Council may from time to time by order to be published in the Gazette declare that any crime or offence specified in such order and not included in the first schedule hereto shall form part thereof, and from and after the date of the publication of such order the crime or offence specified therein shall come within the operation of this Ordinance as if the same had been originally included in the said schedule, and further that the Governor of Hongkong in Council may at any time by order to be published in the Gazette declare that any crime or offence specified in the first schedule hereto or which may hereafter be added to the said schedule as hereinbefore provided shall no longer form part thereof and from and after the date of the publi- cation of such order such crime or offence shall cease to come within the operation of this Ordinance.

3. The following restrictions shall be observed with respect to the surrender of fugitive criminals :---

(1) A fugitive criminal shall not be surrendered if the crime or offence in respect of which his surrender is demanded is one of a political character or if he prove to the satisfaction of the Magistrate, or of a judge of the Supreme Court, if brought before the Court on a writ of Habeas Corpus, or of the Governor that the requisition for his surrender has in fact been made with a view to try or punish him for a crime or offence of a political character or for a crime or offence which is not an extradition crime.

(ii) A fagitive criminal, who has been acensed of a crime or offence in Hongkong not being the extradition crime for which his surrender is demanded, or who is undergoing sentence under any conviction in the Colony, shall not be sur- rendered until after he has been dischargel whether by acquittal or on expiration of his sentence or otherwise.

2

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1896.

4. Every fugitive criminal shall be liable to be appre- hended and surrendered in manner provided by this Ordi- nance, whether the extradition crime in respect of which the surrender is demanded was committed before or after the passing of this Ordinance, and whether there is or is not any concurrent jurisdiction in any Court in the Colony over that crime.

5. Whenever the requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal is made to the Governor of Hongkong by the Governor of North Borneo the Governor of Hongkong may, by order under his hand and seal, signify to a Magis- trate that such requisition has been made, and require him to issue his warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive criminal.

6. A Magistrate, on receipt of the said order, shall issue his warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive criminal, or, if the fugitive criminal be already in custody shall issue his order to all necessary persons to bring the fugitive criminal before him to be dealt with according to this Ordinance.

7. A Magistrate may also issue his warrant for the apprehension of a fugitive criminal on such information or complaint as would, in his opinion, justify the issue of a warrant if the alleged extradition crime had been committed in the Colony.

A fugitive criminal apprehended on a warrant so issued shall be discharged by the Magistrate, unless the Magistrate within such time as, with reference to the circumstances of the case, he shall think reasonable, receives from the Governor an order signifying that a requisition has been made for the surrender of such fugitive criminal.

8. When a fugitive criminal is brought before a Magis- trate, he shall hear the case in the same manner, and have the same jurisdiction and powers, as nearly as may be, as if the prisoner were brought before him charged with an indictable offence committed in the Colony.

Provided always that--

(i) Copies of depositions signed or taken before any Judge or other competent Magistrate having authority in North Borneo to take cognizance of the crime charged, and authenticated in man- ner hereinafter provided may be received in evidence of the criminality of such fugitive criminal.

may

(ii) In the case of a person convicted in North Borneo of an extradition crime, a copy of the conviction, authenticated in manner hereinafter provided, be received in evidence and shall, where the Magistrate is satisfied that such person is according to the law of North Borneo unlawfully at large, justify such Magistrate in committing such person to Victoria Gaol to await the further order of the Governor without re-open- ing the case.

(iii) In every case proof of the identity of the fugitive criminal must be given to the satisfaction of the Magistrate.

(iv) Warrants of arrest and copies of depositions, signed or taken before any such Judge or other com- petent Magistrate as aforesaid, and copies of convictions shall be received in evidence, if the warrant of arrest purports to be signed by such Judge or Magistrate and if the copies of depo- sitions purport to be certified under the hand of such Judge or Magistrate, to be true copies of the original depositions, and if the copy of the conviction purport to be certified under the hand and official seal of the Governor of North Borneo to be a true copy of the original con- viction. The signature of every such Judge or Magistrate and his authority to take cogni- zance of the crime or offence charged shall be sufficiently proved if the document purport to be sealed with the official seal of the Governor of North Borneo, and all Courts of Justice in this Colony shall, for the purpose of this Ordi- nance, take judicial notice of such spal, aud shall admit the documents so authenticated by it to be received in evidence without further proof.

SIR, Herewith I have the honour to forward the annual return of fires and fire alarms for the year 1895.

During six months of the year the supply of fresh water was cut off, being turned on only on an alarm of fire and its use dispensed with as soon as salt water was obtained.

The amount of coal used by the Brigade during 1895 was 29 tons as against 131 in 1894.

The floating fire engine used 19 tons flushing drains in April, working at fires, (on one occasion for two days at a fire on board the Wandering Jew, American ship) going and coming from shelter at Causeway Bay during typhoon season, and keeping up steam day and night whilst the water was

cut off.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 49.

　　The following Reports of the Head Master of Queen's College and of the Examiners appointed by the Governing Body for 1895, which were laid before the Legislative Council on the 11th instant, are published.

No. 7.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th February, 1896.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

QUEEN'S COLLEGE, HONGKONG, 28th January, 1896.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward the Annual Report on Queen's College for the year 1895.

1. The total number on the Roll for the year was 1,024. As the attendance in January was 577, the admissions reached the high figure 447; of these, 350 were new boys, there therefore remain 97 names of boys who returned from the 1894 Roll. In the last four months, no fewer than 89 new boys were admitted, nearly double the usual number, for the same period. After allowance has been made for the four days during which, with His Excellency the Governor's approval, the college was closed for the Oxford Local Examinations, the number of school days, 233, is normal.

2. In the past year, over 100 boys, on leaving this college, obtained situations; 3 in the local Civil Service, 43 in local Mercantile and Professional offices, 38 in the Chinese Service, and 33 at the Coast Ports and abroad generally.

3. $12,667 fees were collected in the course of the year. This is not only the largest amount thus paid into the Treasury as yet, but is so in spite of the facts, that the monthly averages in the first half of the year were nearly 100 attendances less than in 1894, and that a loss of $162 was incurred by the departure in October of 35 boys for Tientsin. Expenditure is apparently larger than last year, but this is due to the appearance in 1895 accounts of Arrears of Exchange Compensation, chargeable against 1894.

4. Three years ago (Gazette 1893, p. 165, par. 3) I pointed out that the normal conditions of the Central School were not ideal and that the continuance of these in a building with twice the attendances increases the difficulty fourfold; for it is evident that the consequences, attendant upon the annual change of one third of the total number of boys, grow more serious in a ratio which rapidly increases out of proportion to the mere access of numbers. If ordinary principles of promotion were under these circumstances adhered to, the natural result would be an annual reduction of the attend- ance in the Upper School, and a corresponding expansion of the Lower sections of the College including the Preparatory School. The fees in the Upper School being highest, there would be entailed a serious reduction in the revenue. Further the number of boys leaving annually would be doubtless augmented, as the present method of rapid promotion is welcome to them, at their age, as curtailing the length of their school career. As a typical instance I may cite the component parts of Class IV. C. where, in November last, 7 boys had in 1894 been in Class V, 11 in Class VI, 11 in Class VII and I in Class VIII; several of them having been promoted through intermediate classes in the previous half of 1895. No ideal education can thrive under such circumstances. What is to be noted is, that the system combines and harmonises the demand for fees, and the eagerness of boys to complete their education with the utmost speed. Any estimate of the value of the education given at this college, that ignores the above conditions, and makes no allowance for the fact that, in four or five years, the majority of our boys pass through eight standards, must arrive at erroneous conclusions.

5. A cry is heard from Wales, that it is impossible for boys, attending day-schools, who hear and speak nothing but Welsh out of school-hours, to attain to anything like ease and accuracy in speaking and writing the English language. As I do not think that sufficient allowance is generally made for the difficulties attendant upon the study of English by boys of Mongolian race, I was glad to find in Things Japanese," in the article on Education by Professor MASON, the expression of the same argument I have often employed, which is to the following effect. If in England the examination in

"

118

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1896. English History, Grammar, Geography, Mathematics, &c. were entirely conducted, questions and answers, oral and written, in the Latin language, only a slight idea could be formed of the difficult y experienced by Japanese and Chinese in examinations conducted in English; for after all, there is a certain amount of kinship between English and Latin in thought, roots, construction and expression, absolutely wanting between English and Japanese or Chinese. I also found from conversation with Professor MASON, at a health resort in Japan last summer, that the attainments of our boys after four or five years, compare very favourably with those of Japanese after a nine years' course; great proficiency in English Conversation, Grammar, Composition, &c. is the exception not the rule, being dependent on the natural abilities of the boys, not on the system of education.

6. The Second Master, Mr. MAY, returned from leave in April, and Mr. BARLOW in August Mr. JONES went on leave in July. The office of Seventh Assistant Master was abolished, the Governing Body recommending a graduated scale of higher salaries for the Chinese Staff. Of the four Chinese Assistants, who, as mentioned in my last Report, taught classes in the Upper School in 1894 with such excellent results, two have left for higher salary; Mr. WAN going to a new university recently opened at Tientsin, and Mr. LEUNG obtaining transfer to the Public Works Department. The great bulk of our Chinese Staff now consists of junior men, and it is to be recorded to their great credit, that they have uniformly strenuously striven to sustain the standards of the classes entrusted to their charge.

7. The results of the Oxford Local Examinations are this year very disappointing, being far behind the most satisfactory ones of the two preceding years. It is not, however, possible to maintain an even standard of excellence for any length of time, especially in view of the difficulties resulting from irregular attendance, detailed above. There are, however, two redeeming features, which deserve to be noted. Out of the eight boys from this college, who received certificates, two obtained distinction. U HANG-KAM, already A. A. in 1894, aspired to distinction in Mathematics, and was successful, ranking 12 out of 23 Seniors, so honoured in all England. C. ELLIS was similarly 3 out of 12 in the list, distinguished in History in the Preliminary Examination.

8. It is much to be wished, that some plan could be devised for reducing the distracting noises, by which our work is continually interrupted. I refer especially to the nuisance arising from processions, which, I believe, are required to hush their music in the neighbourhood of the Supreme Court and other Public Buildings, but which seem to reserve their energies for our benefit. Just recently a new cause of annoyance has arisen, the dressing of rough hewn stones in Staunton Street. I have often suggested the blocking-up of the loop-holes in the boundary wall of the same street, as these apertures reveal an irresistible vista for cock-shy to the gamins of that district; during the examination, a small urchin threw quite a big stone into the Hall. A more serious subject for complaint is the immoral reputation of the immediate neighbourhood of this college; it being a matter of common knowledge that brothels and secret gambling dens abound, which prove a source of ruin to several of our scholars.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1896.

Report on the Annual Examination held at Queen's College from January 3rd to 16th, 1896.

QUEEN'S COLLEGE, HONGKONG, 31st January, 1896.

GENTLEMEN,-We have the honour of reporting to you the result of the Annual Examination held by us at Queen's College during the current month.

In accordance with instructions received from you we have examined, either by written work or orally, "all the subjects taught in the College including the Chinese school," with the exception of Shorthand which we understand is at an elementary stage--it being undesirable that boys commen- cing this subject should be subjected to any test in it until they have arrived at a certain standard of efficiency.

The examination occupied 11 days (January 3rd to 16th), exclusive of one day given to the Chinese school; and on 8 of these days the work was carried on in the afternoon as well as in the morning.

Papers were set in all the subjects offered except Reading, Conversation, and the Pupil Teachers' Practical Work, which were taken orally. Great care was taken to preserve, as far as possible, the standard hitherto adopted in the Annual Examinations, the questions being carefully chosen to test the knowledge which had been imparted to the boys in those portions of their subjects which they had been taught. Only in three instances was it pointed out by the Head Master that we had exceeded this limit, and then due allowance was made in the awarding of marks. The papers were generally slightly longer than usual, in order to give as much scope as possible; and it is hoped that the tabulated results on the mark sheets may afford some means of comparison between the work in this examina- tion and that of last year. We have, however, in order to avoid too severe a test, taken 40 per cent, instead of 50 per cent. for the minimum of marks necessary to obtain a "pass." It was thus possible for any boy, doing a little well, to pass.

In reporting upon the work of 566 boys it is impossible, without being inconveniently lengthy to give more than a general view of the examiners' opinion of the work done. To do this would necessitate a detailed report upon each class, or set of parallel divisions, and as this cannot be done we would draw attention to the mark sheets, which have been prepared to show not only the order of merit in each division, but also the percentage of marks obtained in each subject by each boy, and the percentage of

　　　　passes in each subject in each division, as well as the actual number of passes and failures awarded to each boy.

With regard to the actual work, as might be expected in a school of this kind and size where some boys have been so long and some so short a time under tuition, the work showed great uneven- ness. But what is less easily accountable is the fact that the boys in one class, not excepting the First, showed great disparity of knowledge or of power to reproduce it. There were a good many cases of conspicuous success, but there was also a lamentable amount of weak and inaccurate work. subjects were Writing, Algebra and Book-keeping, and the worst Conversation, Composition, Latin, Euclid.

The best

Marks were assigned for Writing throughout the school, and this was very creditable and satis- factory.

In Reading and Conversation the examiners took all the boys, 5 or 6 at a time, in a separate room and devoted from 15 to 25 minutes to each group. Every boy read before the examiners at least twice, many three times; and conversations were engaged in between the examiners and the boys, or between the boys themselves in the presence of the examiners. The reading and conversa- tion in the First and Second Classes were very satisfactory, showing that the test applied was not too severe, and also that boys could be taught to read clearly and intelligently, and learn to converse with a fair command idiom. But the majority of this work in the rest of the school leaves room for much impvement. We do not think it a good plan that reading should be taught by Chinese Masters, and we are of cpinion that more time should be given to the cultivation of the habit of

121

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1896. composing and speaking simple sentences idiomatically. At the Head Masters' Conference in England held last month, it was resolved that-"It is desirable that modern languages be taught more collo- quially than is customary in schools at present," and we think that much of the deficiency in speaking English which we noticed in the greater part of the school might be supplied if some time were given to the teaching of colloquial English. We do not see from the table of hours of work supplied to us that any time is given especially to this subject; the 24 hours a week put down for conversation appears to mean no more than that the boys are taught various subjects in English, by European or Chinese Masters, during that number of hours. We feel sure from our experience that no definite improvement can be effected in this matter unless especial attention is paid to it.

　　　　In the lower classes, where the number of pages of the reading book prepared was small, the boys had read the same piece so frequently that, on five out of six occasions when the examiners asked a boy to close his book and repeat four or five lines which he had just read, they were repeated verbatim with as much fluency as when the book was open before him. The consequence of this frequent reading of the same passage is that boys get into the habit of not looking carefully at the whole of a word, and when, in an unfamiliar passage, the eye catches sight of a word slightly similar to one better known, the boy pronounces the latter and seems totally unconscious that he is making nonsense of the sentence. We noticed a very common inistake, which ought to be remedied at once; nouns in the singular were read as plural and vice versa, tenses in the present as past and vice versa. The same mistakes occur in the written work of all the Classes.

The Dictation was taken in each Class, except in Class I., from the part of the reading book which the boys had prepared, in order that there should be no unfamiliar words in the piece chosen. And care was taken that the unfamiliar voices of the examiners should not in any way make the A boy was allowed to make six mistakes and yet to pass (errors in punc- passage unduly difficult. tuation counting, and in spelling 1). In spite of this-and the portion on which marks were assigned was no longer than in previous years-there were too many failures; we think that a good many of these might have been avoided by more care on the part of the boys, and if English Masters only had been allowed to teach reading. Punctuation was very weak especially in the Middle Classes. The writing was good, and it was pleasing to find several perfect papers in Classes IV., VII. and VIII.

Composition.-As in previous examinations the boys in Class I. were asked to write an essay. Three subjects were given (The Sports and Pastimes to be seen in Hongkong, The Peak Tramway, We and The Benefits of Foreign Trade), and boys were invited to select one and write upon it. were much pleased with the work in I.A.; two or three essays being excellent, and the mistakes in composition very few. In the other classes, II. to V., a short story was read out twice by an English Master, and an explanation of it given in Chinese by a native Teacher. The boys were then instructed to reproduce the story in their own words. A few boys acquitted themselves creditably, but the mass of the work was very poor. We do not feel sure that this is the best method of teaching Composition, as boys seem to try too much to reproduce the exact words they have heard; and they Much attention is needed to this subject. We think it make this effort at the expense of the sense. would be better to teach the boys to compose and write correctly short sentences relating to some simple subject chosen by a Master; afterwards to write longer ones and to combine them. Many papers were quite unintelligible.

Grammar.-We were satisfied with the work of I.A. and I. C,A., and also of II.A., where there was evidence of good teaching, and we found the analysis of sentences on the whole good. Much of the work of the other Classes was ruined by inaccuracy and by an inability to express correctly what Too much dependence is put upon rote-work. It may be necessary for had been learnt by heart.

a teacher to know that "an adjective is a word that may be joined to a noun to describe, to delimit, or to point to, that which we are naming by the noun," but it is not good to burden the memory of Chinese boys with such things unless it is desired to "sacrifice Education to Examination." Many boys had been taught to reproduce this definition, but the majority of them, in this and other cases, And when a boy in the Third Class, made nonsense of what they had tried to commit to memory. who has been in the school three years, writes such rubbish as "The common noun distinguishes as proper nouns the things, persons or places are given the name to it that is used for proper," it is time to consider whether the whole method of teaching Grammar from a text-book does not require revision. This is only a sample of the many unintelligible answers with which the majority of papers teemed. Such a provincialism (appearing in about 75 per cent. of the papers) as "shew" for the past tense of "to show" ought not to be possible, and the learning of difficult definitions and explanations

122

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1896.

by heart, which are very evidently not understood, should be strongly discouraged. On the whole this very important subject is very feeble and disappointing in a school which aims at giving an English education to Chinese boys. "Some adverbs are elecquar" can scarcely convey any meaning to the boy who wrote it, and requires some ingenuity for its elucidation.

History.The English History papers exhibit a considerable acquaintance with the phraseology of the text-books, but when this is coupled with a very slight ability to explain its meaning it may be doubted whether the system of learning passages by heart is altogether conducive to a satisfactory knowledge of History. It is evident, however, that considerable trouble has been taken by the boys themselves or by their teachers, whereby a large number of facts have been committed to memory. The neatness also of nearly every paper was remarkable, and with few exceptions the writing was

excellent.

Geography.In this subject the memories of boys seemed overburdened with details crammed from books. They could repeat what they had learned, and when a question could be answered by doing so, they reproduced exactly paragraphs from their text-books. The general impression produced on reading the papers is that the teaching of geography might be greatly improved by the more frequent use of blank maps. In a number of instances sketch-maps of more than ordinary merit were drawn by boys in Class I. Few candidates gave satisfactory answers to the questions in Physical Geography.

((

Shakespeare.-Three Acts from

Henry V."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　were offered by Class I. The papers exhibit painstaking and careful work both on the part of Masters and boys. The best average was obtained in section I. C,A.; in this section every boy passed; one received 90 and another 82 per cent. marks. It is worthy of note that a question requiring candidates to summarise in their own words the argument of a long speech was answered by the majority with marked success.

Latin. Of the Latin papers the less said the better. In the divisions I. C,A. and I. C,B. one boy, and one only, came any where near the standard offered for examination. All the others failed in the very elements of grammar, where also, with two exceptions, the third divisions failed also. For boys who cannot recognise the parts of speech-far less parse the simplest words-for these to offer several sections of " Casar" is absurd. In no language more than in Latin are the early grammatical rules important; but we think it unwise that the study of this subject should be continued at present. Book-keeping. Classes I. and II. were examined in this subject. Papers from Class I. were very good indeed, and those from Class II. fair. The style throughout was satisfactory.

General Information. A paper was set to Classes I. and II. only, affording scope for a variety of information upon current, local, and general topics. Though in accordance with the custom of previous years the marks awarded are used in calculating the total number of passes and failures we do not think it necessary to comment on the relative numbers. The questions at least gave an opportunity to boys of showing how far they understood the meaning of them, and how far they could express themselves when they had anything to answer.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Some of the papers were fairly well done, but the majority of boys in Class II. produced many absolutely unintelligible answers. Some answers afforded the examiners considerable diversion amidst a mass of monotonous work.

Arithmetic.-Classes I.A., I. C.A., and II. C,A. on the whole did very creditably. We think that II. C,A. should be grouped with a higher Class than V. In several Classes there was a deplorable exhibition of careless and inaccurate working. An examiner expects to find the majority of boys able to do simple questions in vulgar fractions, decimals, practice, and reduction, where these come within the range of a Class's reading, but in Classes I. to V., except those mentioned above, there was a conspicuous failure in the work in these elementary rules. A few boys did very well indeed, showing that the subject has been successfully taught to them, but we expected to see greater average proficiency shown by a whole class. The papers were carefully set on the pages offered. Every question was correctly answered by one boy or another, but many papers were disappointing. The methods employed do not always seem to be the best. One noticed the old stumbling blocks-the place of the decimal point in division, the order of operation of various signs in compound fractions, cancelling in l.c.m., and the order of terms in proportion--causing boys to offend, as well as very long methods where shorter ones are available. The unitary method" in proportion might be advantageously employed. Here and there a boy successfully grappled with a comparatively difficult problem, but on the whole the work was poor. The lower Classes, VI. VII., and VIII, with few

exceptions, did satisfactorily. Boys seem to be pushed on too rapidly, and before they have thoroughly mastered, so as to be able to accurately apply, the simpler rules. What is required is the use of a very large number and variety of examples carefully graduated and illustrating each rule, as it comes under notice. Few, if any, books contain a sufficient number or variety, but the masters ought to be able to supply them. If this be done there might be more thoroughness.

　　Algebra.─This subject has evidently been carefully and well taught in Classes I., II, and III. Very creditable papers were sent up by I. A., II. A., III. A. B., and the majority of the work was charac- terised by neatness and accuracy. Only a few bad answers were sent in by ignorant or careless boys. The unevenness in the percentages of passes in different Classes is not due to difference in the difficulty of papers, for where the questions were, in the opinion of the examiners, thought to be unequal, due allowance was made in the marking. In contrast to the Arithmetic, there were here very few of the common blunders, and it is evident that the careful teaching has been appreciated. Without wishing to detract from the conspicuous merit of much of the work in this subject, we think that one of the causes of success is due to the fact that an accurate knowledge of English is not so essential here as in such subjects as Grammar, History, and Composition.

of

Euclid.-The Euclid offered by Classes I., II. and III. is very disappointing. Any boy could have passed by doing accurate work on the First Book only; and yet but 44 boys passed out of 160 examined. Only six boys out of 45 in Class I. could write the sixth proposition correctly. With the exception of Class I. A., the whole work is very weak. There is very little grasp of the subject at all, and much evidence of attempted learning by heart: such attempts when they led, as they often did, to nonsense, were, as they deserved to be, severely marked; hence the low percentage passes. Over and over again boys wrote, or attempted to write, a proposition which they were not asked to write; and very few could apply I. 4 and 8 properly. If boys cannot do better than they have done, we think it undesirable that any time whatever should be spent on this subject, except in a few special cases. But if it is taught, care must be taken to discourage in every way possible the rote-learning which destroys all the value and the beauty of geometry. Boys should not be pushed on, even to the middle of Book I., till they have mastered the early propositions. Much more use ought to be made of the application of such propositions as 4 and 8 to the simplest kind of problems, of which a master should be able to supply a large store. In writing out a proposition. scarcely any boys paid any attention to punctuation-this may seem a small point but it is very essential if boys are to make any use of the arguments of Euclid. The method, too, of writing continuously in one paragraph is bad, but care should be taken, if the method of writing each sentence on a separate line be adopted, that each line is not necessarily begun with a capital letter. It was impossible to tell, in some cases, whether the argument was right or not in the mind of the boy; it was certainly not correct on paper. All the old confusion in the use of "but" and "and," "because" and "therefore," and in the data and quarenda in the particular enunciations appeared again and again. There was a general lacking in neatness in writing and arrangement, and sometimes the figures were lettered differently from the arguments which referred to them. Euclid being such excellent and simple English Prose, it seems desirable that it should be taught, but at present the time spent upon it is, in the majority of cases, wasted.

　　English to Chinese.- A number of boys showed both knowledge of English and ability to write Chinese. In the middle and lower classes there was a good percentage of passes. The difficulty Chinese boys have in understanding the meaning of English words was, however, manifest in all classes. The following may serve as illustrations:-In Class I. 15 boy's out of 26 mistook the word what used relatively for the same word used interrogatively. In Class II.B. 13 boys out of 28 mis- translated the word highroad, making it mean a road at a lofty elevation. In the lower and middle classes much work was spoiled by boys, who could read English, being unable to write Chinese. Characters having a sound and tone like the Chinese equivalents of English words in the passages set, but with totally different meanings, were used, often in such a way as to destroy all the sense of the passage. Thus in VIII.A. 17 out of 39 boys wrote in Chinese words meaning close or quiet instead of the word bees. In IV.A. 9 boys out of 39 wrote the word for yellow instead of another word of the same sound and tone meaning locusts. In IV.B. boys were required to translate the phrase straight as an arrow; 4 wrote straight as fighting, 4 straight as scissors, and 1 straight as virtue.

These are typical instances. In the paper of IIIB. the word creased occurred, and no boy attempted to translate it. The practice of many boys is to use reading books in which above the English words Chinese equivalents have been written. It is, we think, a practice to be condemned; but if it is continued, the Master should see that the characters written in the books are such as really translate the English.

124

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1896.

Boys should be taught to think out carefully the meaning of the entire piece set for translation, and of its several parts in their connection, before putting pen to paper. Some who failed rendered correctly a few detached sentences, and might with a little more care have passed.

Chinese to English.-In the Lower Classes many boys had committed to memory, and were able to reproduce, the renderings given to them by the Masters; whilst in the higher classes there were, in a few instances, laudable efforts at independent versions. The value of the answers would have been greater had candidates relied less on the English phrases learned in class, and more on the work done in the preparation of the lessons. That few boys are really competent to translate Chinese into English may be seen from the results of the extra prize examination. For this a sight passage was selected from the Chinese Classic of History. Twelve boys sent in papers. Two had really under- stood the piece and rendered it into fairly good English, securing 70 and 80 marks respectively out of a hundred. No other boy obtained more than 50 per cent.

Chinese School.-In the Chinese school marks were not awarded. All papers sent in were first examined and annotated by the native provincial graduate who assisted in this part of the examination. Those from each class were then distributed in three groups, according as they were adjudged to be of higher, medium or lower merit. There was a final selection of papers to show the best work done by each class.

The percentage of passes 32, Antithetic Couplets 55.

for the Chinese school is-Essay 30, Letter 45, Literature 30, Prosody

Assuming that examinations in the Chinese school are to be conducted on lines similar to those laid down for the holding of such examinations throughout China, we would call attention to the following points :-

1. Papers should be stamped for identification. Boys should not be allowed to bring into the Examination Room pieces of writing paper not uniform in size purchased at differ. ent shops. Paper of the proper kind should on the day of the examination be issued to candidates who might be charged the cost price.

2. Boys should be required to write single characters in the proper spaces.

3. In the Chinese school answers should be written in the order of the questions. Trigonometry.-One boy in I. C, b. took an easy paper in Trigonometry up to the Solution of Triangles, and produced accurate and fairly complete answers.

Pupil Teachers.-We examined the Pupil Teachers in their Practical and Theoretical Work, and were satisfied that they are able to give practical assistance to the Staff.

Drawing.-Classes IV., V. and VI. were examined in Map Drawing. The best work of each class is highly creditable. Some very good specimens of Freehand Drawing, the work of the best boys, were exhibited to the examiners, but no marks were assigned.

Finally, while we recognise in the work of individual boys evidence of sound and careful teaching, the general efficiency of the work appeared to us to be small. We think that boys are pushed on too rapidly, and we feel sure that more attention should be given to the teaching and the study of English. We believe that much good might be effected, and the standard of efficiency raised, if the ability and energy of the European Staff were directed more to the Chinese boys. And we are not confident that it is for the welfare of the School, or in the interests of the education of the Chinese, that the Non-Chinese boys should be in separate classes, and consequently the whole time of two European Masters given entirely to them.

We are pleased to be able to report very favourably on the discipline of the School and the general orderly behaviour of the boys. Lastly, our thanks are due to the Head Master and the Assistant Masters for their ready cooperation with us in all matters where we needed their assistance.

We have the honour,

DICTATION AND TRANSLATION INTO CHINESE.

Class I.

It is noble to seek truth, and it is beautiful to find it. It is the ancient feeling of the human heart, that knowledge is better than riches; and it is deeply and sacredly true. To mark the course of human passions as they have flowed on in the ages that are past; to see why nations have risen, and why they have fallen; to speak of light, and heat, and the winds; to know what man has discovered in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; to hear the chemist unfold the marvellous properties which the Creator has locked up in a speck of earth ;-it is worth while in the days of our youth to strive hard for this great discipline.

A life of knowledge is not often a life of injury and crime. Whom does such a man oppress? With whose happiness does he interfere? In the pursuit of science he injures no man, and in the acquisition he does good to all.

Class II. A.

It is evidently the continent most thickly covered with cities and towns; and with high-roads, canals, and railways, weaving the towns into a living and ever-busy net-work. There civilisation has struck its roots deepest, and stretched its branches widest. There the arts and sciences have reached their highest development. There the great mechanical inventions which have knit the world into one vast inter-dependent society have had their birth; and commerce, manufactures, and agriculture have been brought to the greatest perfection. Europe has laid the whole world under contribution for the supply of her physical wants. In return the whole world has been laid under obligation to her for not less real benefits.

Class II. B.

It is so with all the crafts, and they are inseparably dependent one on another. The mason waits on the carpenter for his mallet, and the carpenter on the smith for his saw; the smith on the smelter for his iron, and the smelter on the miner for his ore. Each, moreover, needs the help of all the others the carpenter the smith, as much as the smith the carpenter; and both the mason, as much as the mason both. This helplessness of the single craftsman is altogether peculiar to the human artist. Amongst the lower animals it is not seen; and they have never heard of such a doctrine as that of the division of labour.

DICTATION.

Class II. C.

Shot is made by pouring melted lead through a colander, from a great height, into water beneath. In the descent, the shot becomes globular, from the same cause that drops of rain assume that form in falling. In various manufacturing towns shot of all sizes is made on a large scale, more or less as follows. High towers, which the workmen can ascend, are hollow, so that from the top molten lead may be made to fall as a shower into water beneath. The opposition of the air causes the roundness, and the coldness of the water does the hardening at once.

DICTATION AND TRANSLATION INTO CHINESE.

Class III A.

(Translate the first part only. End with the words "length of time."

At low water the sand becomes firm, and may be walked on in safety; but as the tide rises the water saturates the mass of sand and transforms it into a pulp of the consistency of mud. It is when in this state that the Sands are most dangerous; not only because. ships that then strike on them gradually sink into the ooze, but also because then the sand shifts from place to place, so as to render charts useless for any length of time.

.

Three lightships are placed to warn sailors of their approach to this dangerous shoal; one at the northern extremity, one at the southern extremity, and one on a point about the middle of the western side.

Class III. B.

(Translate the first part only. End with the words "of the law.")

The Charter, creased with age and injured by fire, but with John's seal hanging to it, is still to be seen.

When it is looked into, it seems to do very little. It bound the king not to demand money from his people without the consent of the great vassals and of the burghers of the cities; it required that no one should be made an officer of justice unless he had a knowledge of the law, and that the chief court of justice should not move about with the king, but be always in one place.

Nor was the king to sell, refuse, or delay justice to any man, nor to seize the person or goods of any freeman without the lawful judgment of his peers, --i.e., equals-according to the law of the land.

Class IV. A.

(Translate the first part only. End with the words "front ranks.")

Sometimes the people turn out of the village which the locusts are approaching, and attempt to stem the torrent. They dig trenches, they kindle fires, they attack them with branches of trees, they sweep them back with brushes; but all to no purpose. The trenches become filled with living locusts, the fires are smothered with dead ones, and the vast column moves on in complete ignorance of the fate of the front ranks.

As for attempting to brush away this terrible enemy one might as well expect to sweep back the flowing tide with a broom. Even the direction of the march cannot be changed. A common instinct seems to carry them right onward. They pursue their line of march with the regularity of a dis- ciplined army.

Class IV. B.C.

(Translate the first part only. End with the word "fatigue.")

The wise Romans male excellent roads, extending through all parts of their empire; and some of them can yet be traced in English, running along as straight as an arrow. One of these is Watling Street, so often mentioned in history. After the fall of the Roman Empire their roads were neglected, and they fell into decay, and the traveller could hardly proceed without great danger, or, at least, without great fatigue.

All at once your horse plunged into a marsh, or you came to a river, and the bridge was broken down; and when you tried to ford the stream, your horse might get out of his depth, and then he and his rider would be nearly drowned.

Class V. A.

(Translate the first part only.

End with the words "her cottage window.")

There was once a poor old widow, who, finding it hard work to get her living at home, thought she would like to go to the gold-diggings in Australia. So she crossed the sea to that far-off country. The only treasures she possessed she took with her. One of these was a pet skylark, which had been used to live in a small wicker cage, outside her cottage window.

　　When she got to Australia, she hired a hut, and got her living by washing the gold-diggers' clothes and cooking their dinners. Day after day, the lark sang his happy song beside her door. She listened and it cheered her at her work. Some of the gold-diggers listened too.

(Translate the first part only. End with the word "free.")

Down sank the shark in the clear water and swam right below the ship. Turning on its back, it opened wide its jaws and swallowed both bait and hook. A strong pull at the rope by the sailors fastened the hook deep in the shark's body. At once the creature struggled desperately to get free.

But the rope was strong, and the men held fast and pulled with a will. The shark was caught at last and killed. Then once more the ship spread her sails to the breeze and bounded on her way across the sea. This method of catching the shark is often practised on board ships sailing in the

Tropics.

Class VI. A.

End with the words "remained without the latch.")

The farmer's wife was always telling him that he ought to get the latch mended; but he used to say that it would cost six-pence, and that it was not worth while. He said that the children might as well be driving the sheep and poultry in and out of the yard and the field as be doing nothing. So the gate remained without the latch.

One day a fat pig got out of its sty, and, pushing open the gate, ran into the field, and thence wandered into a thick wood. The pig was soon missed.

Class VI. B.

(Translate the first part only. End with the word "straw.")

The fly has no jaws or teeth with which to chew its food, but it has something which does quite as well. Its lips are made into a fine tube, and it sucks up its food, just as we have often sucked up water through a straw.

I am sure you must often have wondered how a fly can walk up the walls of a room or along the ceiling. On its feet it has a great number of small hairs which have the power of sticking to the wall, and thus it can hang, back downwards, quite easily.

Class VI. C.

(Translate the first part only. End with the words "give him some.")

Α poor woman, in one of the cities of India, had a stall in the market-place, where she sold fruit. An elephant used to go by, and always stopped to look at her stall. She knew how fond the elephant was of fruit; and she used, now and then, to give him some.

One day the elephant fell into a passion with his keeper. He broke loose, and ran through the market, trampling down everything before him.

Class VII. A.

(Translate the first part only. End with the words "pick up.")

One day the window was open, and the bird flew out. Its master thought it was lost; but it soon came back. After that, it was allowed to fly in and out as it pleased. It always took care to be in at meal times, when there were crumbs for it to pick up.

Summer and winter passed away, and still the bird never tried to leave its master. It might be out for hours, but it always came back.

Class VII. B.

It is made of dry

As soon as the young ones are hatched, away the little creatures run to the water! They need no school and no teaching, for God has made them so that they can swim at once.

The bees are at work. They have been up a long time. Make haste, that we may go and watch them near the hive. It is good for you and for me to rise with the sun, and the birds, and the bees. Now, kneel down, and thank God that He has kept you all through the night. Ask him to bless

　　　This is the tree where the bird has its nest. Let us look in it now. Here it is. I can see three young ones in it-one, two, three. How soft and warm they are! We may look at them, but we must not take them out.

The Smith that made a Hiss.

There was once upon a time a poor bungling man who called himself a smith, but who know nothing of his craft. He took a good piece of iron and set to work to make a horse-shoe. He made the iron red-hot, and he hammered and hammered away, all to no purpose. It would not turn into a shoe! So he changed his mind and said-"Oh, never mind! It will make a very good nail." He put it into the fire again and made it red-hot. And again he hammered away, but it would not turn into a nail! "Well, never mind!" said he, "if it won't make a nail it will make a very good hiss!" So again he

put it into the fire, and when it was red-hot he plunged it into a vessel of water where it made a loud hiss! And this was all he had been able to do after several hours hard work!

We must learn to work definitely, with a purpose, and without waste, either of power or material.

Class III.

The Painter and his Picture.

One day when Sir James Thornhill was painting the inside of the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, he paused in his work and stepped back to the edge of the platform to look at what he had done. Intent upon his work, he had completely forgotten where he was, and in another moment would have fallen backwards from the platform and been dashed to pieces on the pavement below. But a friend who was with him, perceiving his danger, caught up a brush, and, filling it with colour, made a large blotch upon the picture. The artist sprang forward to protect his work, and his life was saved, though at the expense of his picture.

It is well for us that some of our plans are overthrown and spoiled. God often shows His wisdom and mercy in thwarting human designs.

A traveller once journeyed, riding on a hired ass, along a road exposed to the full heat of a burn- ing sun. Not finding so much as a bush under which to take shelter, the thought struck him that it The owner of the would not be a bad plan to dismount and seat himself in the shadow of the ass.

A fierce dispute arose between the owner of the ass and its rider, and at last from words they came to blows which finally resulted in an action at law.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 50.

The following Report of the Acting Superintendent of Victoria Gaol for 1895, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 11th instant, is published.

By Cominand,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th February, 1896.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

No. 36.

VICTORIA GAOL, HONGKONG, 28th January, 1896. SIR,I have the honour to transmit, for His Excellency the Governor's information, the Annual Report on the Gaol Department for 1895.

2. The total number of admissions was 5,014, of which 673 had been previously convicted. 3. The daily average number of prisoners in the Gaol was a fraction over 472 as compared with 455 in 1894, but as the admissions in 1895 exceeded those in the former year by 1,101, the inference is that the number of prisoners with long sentences is still steadily decreasing.

4. There were 5,365 prison offences as compared with 5,120 in 1894.

The profit in industrial labour during the year amounts to $1,936.54.

5. The addition to the Gaol consisting of 155 separate cells was completed in December last, so that it is now possible to confine a large number of prisoners separately during the night.

6. Steps are being taken to improve the prison for the accommodation of females, and also for the erection of suitable quarters for the European officers. Both these improvements have been long required.

7. The staff of the Gaol has been reorganized during the year, chiefly by the engagement of a number of Indian Turnkeys, and a corresponding reduction in the European staff. Mr. CRAIG joined as Warden in February, and a few other officers have since come out froin England.

8. I am glad to be able to report that the staff by these changes is now in a very efficient con- dition.

The usual returns accompany this report.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

A. M. THOMSON, Acting Superintendent.

1. Scholarships from Belilios Scholarship Fund No. 1 shall be open to candidates recommended to the Trustees by the Head Master of Queen's College from among pupils of the College; they must be Chinese on the mother's side, and from a class not lower than Class III.

Scholarships from Belilios Trust Fund No. 3 shall be open to all-comers, but candidates coming from Schools other than Queen's College shall have a preference.

2. The Scholarships shall be of the value of $100 each, and shall be awarded for periods of one year, the Trustees reserving to themselves power to continue them during succeeding years or not, according to the funds at their disposal and the reports they receive as to the progress and conduct of the scholars. These reports will be obtained from the Superintendent of the Alice Memorial and Nethersole Hospitals and from the Secretary of the College of Medicine for Chinese, either of whom may, in case of gross misconduct on the part of a scholar, recommend that payment of the Scholarship be stopped forthwith.

3. Belilios Scholars shall, during the period of tenure, regularly attend the classes of the Hong- kong College of Medicine for Chinese in the order prescribed by the Senate of the College. The Trustees have made arrangements that the scholars shall be permitted to attend those classes for a fee of $40 a year. Each scholar shall present himself for all class examinations, as well as for the professional examinations, at the prescribed times, and by the results of such examinations will the Trustees be in part guided in the matter of continuing or discontinuing any Scholarship.

4. Belilios Scholars shall undertake to discharge such part of the work of the Alice Memorial and Nethersole Hospitals as shall from time to time be assigned to them by the Superintendent of the Hospitals and shall, if required, be prepared to become resident students of either of the Hospitals.

5. On accepting a Scholarship, each scholar shall lodge with the Secretary of the Trustees, by means of a printed form which will be supplied to each scholar, a guarantee signed by a householder in Hongkong, to the effect that he shall refund to the Trustees all monies paid to the said scholar in case the latter shall not prosecute his studies for the full period of his Scholarship or in case he shall grossly misconduct himself as a scholar.

　　　The following Finding of the Marine Court of enquiry into the loss of the British barque Lynnwood is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 7th March, 1896.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

　　　We find that the British barque Lynnwood (80,035), of Windsor, N.S., of which JOHN A. B. Ross was Master, whose Certificate of Competency as Master is No. 2003 of Canada, left Shanghai in ballast for Manila on the 20th February last.

Fresh Northerly and North-Easterly winds with rain and overcast weather were experienced after leaving the Saddles, and on the morning of the 16th at 1.30 A.M. the ship struck on the North- East edge of the Pratas Shoal and was afterwards abandoned, the Master and crew taking to the boats were picked up first by the Russian ship of war Vladimir Manomach and afterwards by the German steamer Cassius which latter ship brought them in to Hongkong.

Having carefully considered the evidence of the Master and First Mate, the Court is of opinion that the ship was navigated in a proper and seamanlike manner though it would seem that if an addi- tional compass had been placed on deck as a standard it might have assisted towards the more efficient navigation of the ship.

The cause of the casualty appears to have been that the distance run in the South-West course through the Formosa Straits was under-estimated placing the ship more Westerly than her supposed position when the course was altered to South by East, but the Patent Log was carefully used and due allowance appears to have been made for current drift and heave of the sea. No observation of the sun nor stars were possible during the voyage, and the position of the ship was depending on the dead reckoning only.

After the casualty everything was done that proper seamanship suggested and the ship does not appear to have been prematurely abandoned.

　　　Under the circumstances the Court sees no reason to deal with the Certificates of the Captain or First Mate.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 5th day of March, 1896.

The term "public institution" includes a prison, lock up, reformatory, work-house, lunatic asylum and hospital: The term "occupier" includes the governor, keeper, master, manager, director, matron, superintendent, or other chief resident officer in this Colony of every convent or public or charitable or religious institution, and where a house is let or sublet in separate floors or rooms or compartments includes any person residing in such house who either receives or pays rent for such separate floors or rooms or compartments. In cases where a whole house is occupied by any person, without being let or sublet as aforesaid, such person shall, whether he is the owner or not, be deemed to be the "occupier" within the meaning of this Ordinance.

25. Ordinance 7 of 1872 entitled An Ordinance for registering Births and Deaths in Hongkong is hereby repealed.

26. This Ordinance shall come into force on such day as shall be hereafter fixed by proclamation under the hand of the Governor.

Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance re-enacts certain provisions of The Births and Deaths Ordinance, 1872, which it repeals, and it also incorporates certain sections of the Imperial Act for the registration of Births and Deaths (37 and 38 Vic- toria Chapter 88).

This measure contains, however, a few entirely novel provisions which will now be briefly touched upon.

Section 7, sub-section (3), has been framed with the object of obtaining particulars of birth in cases where children are admitted to convents or public or charitable or religious institutions.

Sub-sections (e) and (?) of section 11 are intended to prevent the removal or burial of dead bodies except under properly recognized authority,

Section 12, sub-section (a), alters the present law as to the legal obligations of ministers of religion. By section 11 of Ordinance 7 of 1872 the minister was liable to a fine if he did not, within seven days after performing the burial service, give notice to the Registrar General in cases where no certificafe or order for burial had been delivered to him. The proposed new sub-section renders the minister liable to punishment if he performs any funeral ceremony in cases where no proper authority for burial has been delivered to him.

Section 12, sub-section (d) (iv), is intended to secure the correct and uniform classification of diseases in the death returns, and sub-section (c) of the same section confers upon the Registrar General power to invoke the assistance of the Colonial Surgeon in cases where he is not satisfied as to the correctness of the reported cause of death.

POLICE OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 15th February, 1896.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit for the information of His Excellency the Governor the criminal statistics and the report on the Police Force for the year 1895.

2. The statistics show an increase as compared with the return of last year of 54.85 per cent. in the total of all cases reported to the Police. In the sub-division of these cases into serious and minor offences there appears an increase as compared with last year of 7.45 per cent. in the former, and of 74.99 in the latter category. The reason for this increase in serious crime is probably to be found in the fact that during at least three months of 1894 during the epidemic the town was largely depleted of its Chinese population in which doubtless many of the thieving class as well as their prey were absent. This idea is strengthened by a comparison of 1895 with 1893 which was a normal year as to population-this comparison shows an increase of only 1.54 per cent. in 1895 over 1893. The increase in minor offences is largely due to miscellaneous offences which may be classed as offences against sanitary arrangements, good order in strects, and kindred offences, while the enforcement of the Light and Pass Ordinance is responsible for 2,005 more cases than in 1894.

3. Three Murders came under notice of the Police in 1895:-

1. On the 14th February about 9 p.m. HAVILDAR UMRAZ KHAN, Hongkong Regiment, was shot near the camp and died the next morning. His supposed assailant Private NANAL SHAH was arrested on the statement of the wounded man, but no other evidence was obtainable and the man was discharged at the Police Court.

2. On the 18th February a quarrel took place in a boat lying off Bonham Strand between four Chinese boatmen. Two were wounded and sent to Hospital, one of these men Sing Sheung Li died from the effects of his wounds on the 27th February.

3. JOHN GUNDERSON, seaman, belonging to the Geo. F. Manson, sailing ship, was reported missing from his vessel on the 6th October and was subsequently found murdered on Cowee Chau Island. Two boat people, a man and his wife (in whose boat GUNDERSON is said to have been), were arrested and charged with the murder but were discharged for want of evidence at the October Sessions.

HIGHWAY ROBBERIES.

1. On the 19th January a man was stopped, pepper thrown in his eyes by three men (one armed with a knife) on the Shaukiwan Road between Bay View and North Point and money stolen from him to the amount of $370.

2. On the 24th January a man was stopped on the Magazine Gap Road by three men one of whom was armed with a knife and who robbed him of clothing and money value $14.

3. On the 5th February a woman while crossing the Military Rifle Range was assaulted and robbed of ten silver dollars by two men.

4. On the 16th July a man was stopped on the Shaukiwan Road and robbed of five dollars by

two men.

5. On the 9th September a boy was thrown down by another on the Bonham Road and robbed of a bangle valued at $6.

6. On the 1st October two men stopped another on the Morrison Hill Road, threw tobacco dust. on his face and robbed him of $20.

3. The coal and cargo coolies struck on the 23rd March in consequence of the enforcement from the 1st January of the bye-laws for the licensing and registration of common lodging-houses under the Public Health Ordinance.

　　　Every endeavour had been made by the Registrar General to explain the bye-laws, not only personally to the keepers of the houses but also by the circulation of 3,000 printed translations of the bye-laws.

　　　On the 20th March, 27 of the principal lodging-house keepers were afforded another opportunity to conform to the bye-laws, by the Acting President of the Sanitary Board, who desired them to attend at his office. Not one attended and they were all summoned.

On the 22nd only one keeper answered to his summons at the Magistracy.

Warrants were issued for the other 26, search was made for them, but they had absconded.

The Police were strengthened and picquets patrolled the streets, as well as the harbour in pinnaces. On the 23rd on the arrival of the Macao steamer the only attempt at a disturbance took place. A number of stevedore coolies on strike endeavoured to interfere with the coolies who attended regularly to carry baggage and goods ashore.

　　　The Police had no difficulty in dispersing the crowd, and two men were arrested (by Chinese Constables), convicted and fined $15 each or six weeks hard labour.

By the evening 3,000 coolies were on strike.

On the 24th the whole of the coal coolies joined the strikers.

　　　On the 25th fifty convicts coaled the S.S. Verona and 100 men of the Rifle Brigade discharged the S.S. Pekin.

　　　The 200 Swatow coolies of the Kowloon Godown Company did not strike being protected by a guard of the Hongkong Regiment who guarded the wharves till the end of the strike.

　　　There was an arrest for intimidation this day, the 25th, in Victoria, the prisoner being convicted and sentenced to three months hard labour.

The hands in the Quarry Bay Refinery struck work.

　　　On the 25th and 26th several steamers went round to Aberdeen and discharged cargo there, the coolies being guarded by Police in launches afloat, and by patrols on the roads.

　　　On the 26th the cargo boatmen endeavoured to strike, but on being warned by the Police that they could not leave the waters of the Colony without a clearance, and their securities being dealt with by the Registrar General, remained passive, though private individuals could only hire them through the Police.

234

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH MARCH, 1896.

The hands at the Lee Yuen Refinery struck work.

On the 27th a depot of cargo boats was formed by the Water Police, to save time in hiring them. The coolies working at Aberdeen struck this day.

There were now 20,000 coolies on strike.

Six petty officers of the Navy were sworn in as special constables to do 'uty with the Water Police.

Men of the Hongkong Regiment were engaged discharging vessels.

On the 28th the Police hired 50 coolies for a local firm at $1 a day, bu the firm subsequently declined to pay such large wages fearing to prejudice future rates.

This day the hands at Hung Hom Docks began to be restless, two strangers, doubtless emissaries from the strikers, were however arrested and sentenced to three months hard labour as rogues and vagabonds, and the Dock hands gave no more trouble

The remaining hands at East Point Refinery struck.

It was ascertained this day that 160 of the head men at Kowloon City were affording support to the strikers, which was represented through H. B. M.'s Consul at Canton to the Viceroy with a view to dislodging them.

On the 29th the hands at the three Refineries returned to work. 250 coolies were supplied to a local firm at $1 a day.

On the 1st April the Police secured 350 coolies at $1 a day for various firms.

On the 2nd over 500 coolics were supplied to various firms.

On the 2nd the Brigadier in charge at Chinese Kowloon drove away the head coolies

On the 3rd the Police engaged 1,000 coolies at 75 cents a day for employers of labour.

At noon on the 4th the strike was at an end.

A picquet from the Rifle Brigade did duty at Quarry Bay, from the 26th March till the end of the strike.

During the strike from the 25th March till 4th April inclusive 2,622 men of the Rifle Brigade, 1,860 men of the Hongkong Kegiment, and 189 Officers and Non-commissioned Officers of both Regiments did duty guarding workmen and discharging ships.

562 convicts coaled and discharged vessels, and 632 blue jackets and marines rendered valuable services coaling.

The special constables (Petty Officers R. N.) performed their duties very satisfactorily, and conducted themselves in a most exemplary manner.

The Police of all ranks and nationalities displayed much energy, discretion and good temper, during the strike.

Inspectors STANTON and HENNESSY rendered most valuable services in hiring coolies and cargo boats respectively.

55 offenders were arrested during the strike, and punishments inflicted varying from 3 months hard labour to $1 or 7 days hard labour.

On the 28th March Police Sergeant McIVER was appointed as temporary Sanitary Inspector, and detailed for the special duty of collecting evidence for prosecuting the keepers of unregistered lodging- houses.

Between that date and 31st May, 454 houses were visited, on an average 4 times each.

The keepers of 115 houses registered, 66 did not contain sufficient occupants to come within the definition of a common lodging-house.

273 keepers were summoned for failing to register.

65 failed to appear, and warrants were issued.

32 were subsequently arrested.

33 closed their houses.

240 keepers were convicted, and fines aggregating $1,516.75 imposed.

47 keepers were recommended for banishment.

12 were banished, the remainder having found security for good behaviour were not banished.

LICENCES.

4. Jinricksha licences have been granted only to builders and repairers' shops, with a view to the climination of middle men or farmers of licences.

Licensees have been required to sign an undertaking that they will not charge their drawers more than 33 cents a day each in the summer, and 30 cents a day each in the winter months.

There are two drawers to each jinricksha. All licensed bearers of public chairs, and drawers of jinrickshas have been medically examined as to their fitness for their occupation; about 5% were rejected. Licensed marine store dealers have increased from 5 to 30; fines aggregating $1,000 having been imposed on the unlicensed store dealers.

On duty at the Tung Wah Hospital from the 1st May to the 17th July 3 Indian and 3 Chinese Constables.

　　　From the 17th May to 31st July inclusive Inspector QUINCEY and a party of detectives nightly tracked the passengers from the River steamers to their lodgings, with a view of ascertaining if plague was being imported.

There were no complaints against the Police.

236

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH MARCH, 1896.

LIGHT AND PASS ORDINANCE.

7. The provisions of the Light and Pass Ordinance were enforced from the 23rd November (when notices were issued in the Chinese papers) till the end of the year. The regulation requiring almost abrupt the carrying of a light after 7 p.m. was also adhered to, the result being an termination of all descriptions of offences after night-fall.

Comparing the period between the 25th November, 1894, and the 21st December of the same year with the corresponding period of 1895 exclusive of Light and lass offences there were 325 fewer cases in the Police Court in 1895.

During the same period there were 8 fewer burglaries reported, viz., 9 in 1894 and 1 in 1895, and 88 fewer cases of larceny.

During the period under review there were 1,450 arrests for breaches of the Light and Pass sections of the Ordinance, of whom 51 were women, amongst that number there being 38 blind singing girls, miserable creatures who belong to the lowest class of prostitutes.

Trade was safeguarded by arranging that head men with passes and lights should accompany their gangs of coal or cargo coolies to and from their lodging-houses.

A great deal of work was thrown on the Police Office as also on that of the Registrar General, the number of quarterly night passes rising rapidly to over 13,000; it has since risen to 15,000 and annual passes, I believe, to nearly 800.

STRENGTH OF THE FORCE.

8. The average strength of the Police Force during the year 1895 has been 558, its greatest strength, in February, 590, and its least in August 535. In December it was 541. Exclusive of men on leave, the European force has been on an average 6 men short, and the Indian contingent 40. In December the latter was 53 below strength and the Europeans 7; the total of all ranks being 541.

To endeavour to some extent to supplement the Indians 30 temporary Chinese Constables were engaged, but the substitute has been a very feeble one.

Several Europeans were engaged locally, but save for the Water Police the practice is not fruitful

of success.

The men are not trained Constables (whereas the recruits from the United Kingdom are). During their probationary period they are merely learners not available for street duty and frequently at the expiration of the three months they have found more suitable or remunerative employment. One result of the failure to recruit Indians has been that they have had no leave and it has been not unnaturally a source of considerable dissatisfaction, several good men having resigned. 10 Europeans from the Metropolitan Police Force arrived in March last and have given every satisfaction.

One man committed suicide by cutting his throat a fortnight after arrival.

In connection with the reduction of the Police Force, a table is attached hereto, showing the ratio of increase in certain towns in the United Kingdom, Singapore and Shanghai compiled from returns received last year, from which it will be seen that Hongkong is the only place that reduces its Police as the population increases, nor does the situation of the Colony, the mixed character of its population and Police Force appear to place it in any more favourable position for adopting such a course than the other places in the table below:-

　　9. The conduct of the European Police has again been satisfactory, as has also been that of the Indian contingent.

　　Offences amongst the Chinese Police have been mainly the outcome of their inability to conform to discipline. The serious offence of being asleep on duty has decreased all round.

The number of reports made against European members of the Force was 48 against 74 last year. Of these 8 were for drunkenness as against 10 in the previous 12 months, 4 for disorderly conduct, assaults and fighting, and 3 for sitting down on duty, as against 3 and 3 respectively, 5 for neglect of duty and 5 for asleep on duty, as against 12 and 10 in the previous year.

Against men of the Indian contingent there were 162 reports as against 214 in 1894.

Of these 12 were for drunkenness, as against 18 in 1894, 11 for disorderly conduct, assault and fighting, as against 25, 15 for neglect of duty, as against 41, 22 for absence from duty, or beat and late for duty, as against 17, 33 for gossiping, sitting down and idling on duty, as against 39, 9 for asleep on duty, as against 15, and 7 for leaving beat before being relieved as against 5.

Amongst Chinese Constables there were 512 reports as against 397 in 1894.

It should be noted in this connection that the Chinese Force was increased throughout the year

by 30 men, to make up for 40 deficiencies in the Indian contingent.

　　There was 1 case of drunkenness in the Chinese Force as against 2 in 1894, in other respects increases are noted, as 203 reports for absence from duty or beat, and late for duty, against 161, and 41 for leaving beat before being relieved, against 6 the previous year.

There was a decrease from 48 to 44 for asleep on duty.

1 Indian Constable was convicted before a Magistrate and fined $10 for neglect of duty.

　　1 Chinese Constable was fined $5 for using disrespectful language in Court, and one was fined $5 for being in possession of prepared opium.

HEALTH.

POLICE SCHOOL, HONGKONG, 31st December, 1895.

SIR,-I have the honour to report that the working and results of the Police School for 1895 have been satisfactory.

On further experience the First Reading Book introduced by The Captain Superintendent, F. H. MAY, Esq., has been found to answer its purpose fairly well though certain minor alterations are desirable when a reprint is made.

The suggestion in last report of allowing Indians from other Departments to attend the Police School has been carried into effect so far as Victoria Gaol is concerned, with satisfactory results.

During 1895 eleven European Constables obtained certificates exempting them from school attendance.

Three Indian Constables and three Gaol Guards passed examinations held by the Board of Examiners, and are now in receipt of allowances awarded for a knowledge of English.

The following has been the attendance for the year :-

Europeans,. Chinese,

Indian Constables,. Indian Gaol Guards,

Rupture of spleen occasioned by a fall or blow said to have been administered to the deceased by a Chinese Constable not identified, but the evidence regarding which is too uncertain to be reliable........

That deceased died of hemorrhage caused by wounds in the

neck and that such wounds were self inflicted,

.....

That deceased died of pulmonary congestion,. That deceased met his death by drowning (asphyxia from sub- mersion), having been in a boat which was capsized on 15th December last off Bay View Hotel, and that no evidence exists to show how the boat was capsized, That deceased met his death by drowning (asphyxia from sub- mersion) on 25th December last, having fallen into the sea whilst in a state of intoxication, That the cause of death was internal hemorrhage caused by partial rupture of right pulmonary artery, but that there is no evidence to show how such rupture was caused, That the deceased, Yin Kau, met his death by scalding due to an escape of steam whilst the feed pipe was being dis- connected on board the S.S. Ching Ping on the 11th December, 1895, in Victoria Harbour. The Court finds that the presence of steam in the feed pipe was due to the very defective state of the check valve, and considers that the Chief Engineer, Mr. Jervis, is censurable for not having examined the check valve during the year for which he has been on board S.S. Ching Ping,

The deceased came to his death by drowning while escaping from the lawful custody of the Inspector of Nuisances,................ The deceased came by their deaths by suffocation or other injuries received from the collapse of the roof of the build- ing known as the Old Victoria Hotel, such collapse being due to the state of decay into which the building had lapsed, and the deceased at the time of their deaths being residents in the building at their own risk and without the know- ledge of the sole mortgagee,

The deceased died from injuries sustained by a fall resulting in fracture of skull, such fall taking place down the south steps of the Central Market leading into Jubilee Street, there being no sufficient evidence to show what led to the fall, The deceased died under the effects of wounds on the head and person, suspicion pointing to their infliction by two Chinese named A Kau and Small-pocked Sam who have accordingly been charged with the murder of the deceased,

Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown,

WILLIAM ROBINSON,

Governor.

[17th March, 1896.]

HEREAS a registered Lis peudens cannot be vacated without the consent of the person by whom it was registered, and such consent is sometimes withheld although the suit or proceeding is at an end or is not being bona fide prosecuted: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

*

1. The Supreme Court or any Judge thereof, before whom the property sought to be bound is in litigation, may upon the determination of the Lis pendens, or during the pendency thereof, where the said Court or Judge shall be satisfied that the litigation is not prosecuted bona fide, or for other good cause shown, make an order, if such Court or Judge shall see fit, for the vacating of the registration in the Land Office of such Liz pendens without the consent of the party who registered it, and may, in the discretion of the said Court or Judge, direct the party on whose behalf the registration was made to pay all the costs and expenses occasioned by the registration or the vacating thereof, including the costs of the application to vacate, or may make such other order as to such costs or any of them as to such Court or Judge may seem just.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST MARCH, 1896.

2. The application to vacate a Lis pendens under the foregoing section may be in a summary way by petition or motion in Court or by summous at Chambers, and may be made by any person interested in the property against which the Lis pendens has been registered, whether such person is a party to the Lis pendens or not.

3. If an order shall be made for vacating any such registration, the Land Officer shall, upon the filing with him of a memorial and an office copy of such order, enter a discharge of such Lis pendens on the Land Office register, and may issue certificates of such Entry, and shall demand for every such Entry the sum of Two Dollars, and shall demand for every such certificate the sum of One Dollar. Such fees shall be paid by the Land Officer into the Colonial Treasury.

Passed the Legislative Council of Hongkong, this 10th day of March, 1896.

WILLIAM ROBINSON,

[17th March, 1896.]

WHEREAS persons who have committed certain

1. This Ordinance may be cited as The North Borneo Extradition Ordinance, 1896.

2. In the interpretation of this Ordinance and the schedules thereto the following expressions shall, unless repugnant to or inconsistent with the context, have the meaning herein- after assigned to them, viz. :--

"Governor of North Borneo" means the Governor of the Territory of the British North Borneo Com- pany and includes the person for the time being administering the Government of such Territory. "North Borneo" means the Territory of the British

Requisition to the Governor may be followed by order to Magistrate

for warrant of apprehension.

Duties of a Magistrate upon receipt of such order.

Magistrate may also issue warrant as in ordinary cases.

Hearing of the case and evidence of erine being political.

Provided always that the Governor of Hongkong in Council may from time to time by order to be published in the Gazette declare that any crime or offence specified in such order and not included in the first schedule hereto shall form part thereof, and from and after the date of the publication of such order the crime or offence specified therein shall come within the operation of this Ordinance as if the same had been originally included in the said schedule, and further that the Governor of Hongkong in Council may at any time by order to be published in the Gazette declare that any crime or offence specified in the first schedule hereto or which may hereafter be added to the said schedule as hereinbefore provided shall no longer form part thereof and from and after the date of the publi- cation of such order such crime or offence shall cease to come within the operation of this Ordinance.

3. The following restrictions shall be observed with respect to the surrender of fugitive criminals :-

(i) A fugitive criminal shall not be surrendered if the crime or offence in respect of which his surrender is demanded is one of a political character or if he prove to the satisfaction of the Magistrate, or of a judge of the Supreme Court, if brought before the Court on a writ of Habeas Corpus, or of the Governor, that the requisition for his surrender has in fact been made with a view to try or punish him for a crime or offence of a political character or for a crime or offence which is not an extradition crime.

(ii) A fugitive criminal, who has been accused of a crime or offence in Hongkong not being the extradition crime for which his surrender is demanded, or who is undergoing sentence under any conviction in the Colony, shall not be sur- rendered until after he has been discharged whether by acquittal or on expiration of his sentence or otherwise.

4. Every fugitive criminal shall be liable to be appre- hended and surrendered in manner provided by this Ordi- nance, whether the extradition crime in respect of which the surrender is demanded was committed before or after the passing of this Ordinance, and whether there is or is not any concurrent jurisdiction in any Court in the Colony over that crime.

5. Whenever the requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal is made to the Governor of Hongkong by the Governor of North Borneo the Governor of Hongkong may, by order under his hand and real, signify to a Magis- trate that such requisition has been made, and require him to issue his warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive

criminal.

6. A Magistrate, on receipt of the said order, shall issue his warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive criminal, or, if the fugitive criminal be already in custody, shall issue his order to all necessary persons to bring the fugitive criminal before him to be dealt with according to this Ordinance.

7. A Magistrate may also issue his warrant for the apprehension of a fugitive criminal on such information or complaint as would, in his opinion, justify the issue of a warrant if the alleged extradition crime had been committed in the Colony.

A fugitive criminal apprehended on a warrant so issued shall be discharged by the Magistrate, unless the Magistrate within such time as, with reference to the circumstances of the case, he shall think reasonable, receives from the Governor an order signifying that a requisition has been made for the surrender of such fugitive criminal.

8. When a fugitive criminal is brought before a Magis- trate, he shall hear the case in the same manner, and have the same jurisdiction and powers, as nearly as may be, as if the prisoner were brought before him charged with an indictable offence committed in the Colony.

Provided always that---

(i) Copies of depositions signed or taken before any Judge or other competent Magistrate having authority in North Borneo to take cognizance of the crime charged, and authenticated in man- ner hereinafter provided, may be received in evidence of the criminality of such fugitive criminal.

(ii) In the case of a person convicted in North Borneo of an extradition crime, a copy of the conviction, authenticated in manner hereinafter provided, may be received in evidence and shall, where the Magistrate is satisfied that such person is according to the law of North Borneo unlawfully at large, justify such Magistrate in committing such person to Victoria Gaol to await the further order of the Governor without re-open- ing the case.

(iii) In every case proof of the identity of the fugitive criminal must be given to the satisfaction of the Magistrate.

(iv) Warrants of arrest and copies of depositions, signed or taken before any such Judge or other com- petent Magistrate as aforesaid, and copies of convictions shall be received in evidence, if the warrant of arrest purports to be signed by such Judge or Magistrate, and if the copies of depo- sitions purport to be certified under the hand of such Judge or Magistrate to be true copies of the original depositions, and if the copy of the conviction purport to be certified under the hand and official seal of the Governor of North Borneo to be a true copy of the original con- viction. The signature of every such Judge or Magistrate and his authority to take cogni- zance of the crime or offence charged shall be sufficiently proved if the document purport to be sealed with the official seal of the Governor of North Borneo, and all Courts of Justice in this Colony shall, for the purpose of this Ordi- nance, take judicial notice of such seal, and shall admit the documents so authenticated by it to be received in evidence without further proof.

(v) The warrant of arrest and the copy of the deposi- tions, or, as the case may be, the copy of the conviction, shall be read to the fugitive criminal, if he so desire, and he shall be asked if he has any valid cause to show why he should not be committed to Gaol to await the order of the Governor.

The Magistrate shall receive any evidence which may be tendered to show that the crime or offence of which the fugitive criminal is accused, is a crime or offence of a poli- tical character, or is not an extradition crime.

9. If at the hearing before a Magistrate such evidence is produced as would, subject to the provisions of this Ordi- nance, justify the committal of the fugitive criminal for trial at the Supreme Court if the extradition crime of which he is accused had been committed in the Colony, and in cases of conviction provided for by section 8, sub-section (ii), of this Ordinance, the Magistrate shall commit him to Victoria Gaol to await the further order of the Governor of Hong- kong but otherwise shall order him to be discharged.

If the Magistrate commits the fugitive criminal to Vic- toria Gaol, he shall thereupon inform the fugitive criminal that he will not be surrendered until after the expiration of fifteen days from the date of such committal and that he has a right to apply to the Supreme Court for a writ of Habeas Corpus, and such Magistrate shall forthwith send to the Governor of Hongkong the depositions and other evidence in the case together with a report thereon.

10. Before ordering a fugitive criminal to be discharged the Magistrate shall cause notice of his intention to make such order to be served on the Crown Solicitor.

11. Ordinance 10 of 1890 so far as it relates to appeals from the decisions of Magistrates shall not apply to pro- ceedings under this Ordinance.

(ii) If the fugitive criminal while in the Colony escapes out of any custody into which he has been delivered in pursuance of a Magistrate's warrant as aforesaid, it shall be lawful for any police officer or constable to take him without warrant and to restore him to the custody from which he has escaped, and for the person from whose custody the fugitive criminal has escaped to retake him or receive him from such police officer or constable and to hold him at all times as upon the original warrant.

15. Every person who is accused or convicted of having counselled, procured, commanded, aided or abetted the com- mission of any extradition crime or of being accessory before the fact to any extradition crime shall be deemed for the

　　The following Finding of the Marine Court of Enquiry into the charge of misconduct of the Second Officer of the British steamer Chittagong is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th March, 1896.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

　　We have carefully considered the evidence given before the Court in the presence of the accused as well as his statement in defence.

　　We are of opinion that the evidence is too vague and general in its terms to sustain a charge of gross misconduct on the part of the Second Officer, Mr. DONOVAN, and the Court therefore does not deal with his Certificate.

We are, however, of the opinion that his conduct has been highly unbecoming in his position as Second Mate of the Chittagong, and consider that in the best interests of all concerned it is necessary that he should be discharged from the ship, and we therefore order his discharge accordingly.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 16th day of March, 1896.

No. 6.

　　　Minutes of the proceedings of the SANITARY BOARD, at a meeting held on Thursday, the 12th day of March, 1896.

PRESENT:

The Director of Public Works, (The Honourable FRANCIS ALFRED COOPER), President.

The Acting Colonial Surgeon, (Dr. JOHN MITFORD ATKINSON, M.B.), Vice-President.

The Acting Captain Superintendent of Police, (The Hon. WILLIAM CHARLES HOLLAND HAStings, R.N.). The Medical Officer of Health, (Dr. FRANCIS WILLIAM CLARK).

NATHANIEL JOSEPH EDE, Esquire.

ABSENT:

The Registrar General, (The Honourable JAMES HALDANE STEWART LOCKHART).

Minutes.-The minutes of a meeting held on the 27th day of February, 1896, were read and confirmed.

　　　Resumed Area.-A letter-which had been circulated to Members-having reference to the removal of building materials from the area in Taipingshan recently resumed by the Government, was laid on the table and the minutes on the circulating cover read.

A discussion ensued.

The President moved-

1. That the Board is in possession of no evidence to warrant a belief that the material remaining in the resumed area of Taipingshan is infected with the Bubonic Plague bacillus. On the contrary in the opinion of the Board the statistics in its possession prove conclusively that the steps taken to eradicate the bacillus from infected premises in 1894 have been attended with most satisfactory results.

2. The Board, however, in view of the popular feeling on the subject, recommend that if further material is sold

steps should be taken to burn as far as practicable all wood still remaining in the buildings.

The Vice-President seconded.

Question-put and agreed to.

The Honourable the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police and Mr. EDE did not vote.

　　　Well Waters.-The Analyst's reports-which had been circulated to Members-on six samples of water drawn from wells in Victoria, were laid on the table and the minutes on the circulating cover read.

The President moved-

That the owners of these wells be served with a notice to close the wells within fourteen days of the date of the

notice.

The Vice-President seconded.

Question--put and agreed to.

　　　Defective Drains.-The Assistant Surveyor's reports-which had been circulated to Members-on the condition of the house drains at Block No. 134 and at Nos. 21 to 43 (odd Nos.), Station Street, Yau-ma-ti, were laid on the table and the minutes on the circulating covers read.

The President moved-

That the owners of the houses mentioned in the reports be called on to carry out the works recommended by the Assistant Surveyor, such works to be done in accordance with the law governing house drainage works. The Medical Officer of Health seconded.

Question-put and agreed to.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to supplement the provisions of" The Licensing Consolidation Ordinance, 1887."

forfeiting Chinese undertaker's licences issued under Ordinance 21 of 1887 to cases in which the holders thereof

have not been convicted of any criminal offence:

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as

The Licensing Amendment Ordinance, 1896, and shall be read and construed with Ordinance 21 of 1887.

2. It shall be lawful for the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, to cancel the licence of any Chinese undertaker, which has been or may here- after be issued, for any misconduct on the part of the licensee in connection with his business of undertaker whether such misconduct amounts to a criminal offence or not.

3. Nothing contained in the preceding section of this Ordinance shall be deemed to in any way amend or affect the power of dealing with a Chinese undertaker's licence which is conferred by section 13 of Ordinance 21 of 1887.

Objects and Reasons.

It having been found by experience that Chinese under- takers do not always properly perform their duties in the case of persons dying of infectious diseases, it has been thought advisable to pass this short Ordinance in order to empower the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, to forfeit a Chinese undertaker's licence for misconduct, whether such misconduct amounts to a criminal offence or not.

Section 3 of the Ordinance preserves to the Registrar General, as the issuing officer, the power which he already possesses under section 13 of Ordinance 21 of 1887 of forfeiting the licence of any Chinese undertaker who has been convicted of any criminal offence.

　　　The following Papers respecting the reconstitution of the Sanitary Board, which were laid before the Legislative Council on the 2nd instant, are published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 4th April, 1896.

SIR,

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,

HONGKONG, 19th October, 1894.

The Committee of this Chamber, in their capacity as representatives of the commercial interests of this Colony, deem it their duty as well as their privilege to address to your Excellency some observations on the recent terrible visitation of disease, which had such alarmingly fatal results, and which for some months so extensively disorganized the normal trade of the port.

The Committee gladly recognize the promptitude and the energy with which the Government, when the presence of the epidemic had once been fully de- monstrated, set to work to repress the outbreak, and gratefully acknowledge the devotion and self-sacrifice of the Military, Navy and Volunteers, who lent their valuable aid in this important work. It is with no little satisfaction the Committee express their belief that these gallant efforts have at length been crowned with complete success in stamping out the plague, which they sincerely hope may not appear again.

In view, however, of the lamentable loss of life, the utter derangement of the business of the port, involving enormous loss and inconvenience to those engaged therein, and the serious set-back to the prosperity of the Colony not yet recovered from the severe financial blows dealt it by the dislocation of exchange, and the long period of depression following the unsound speculative policy of a few years ago, it now becomes important to enquire how far this last and crowning disaster was due to preventible causes, and, if so, to whom should be apportioned the blame and the responsibility.

In embarking on such an enquiry the Committee are actuated by a desire to bring to your Excellency's notice and attention some facts and suggestions thereon that may serve to prevent the perpetuation of a faulty and prefunctory system, repetition of past errors or possible perseverance in a policy of "drift and procrastination.

"

The fact that the sanitation of the City of Victoria was far from satisfactory was officially recognized some fifteen years ago. It is only just to say that, long prior to such recognition, attention had been earnestly called by the Colonial Surgeon, Dr. AYRES, to the ever-increasing saturation of the soil by sewage, owing to bad drainage, and he predicted the calamity which has now taken place, if the evil were not abated. It was not, however, until 1881 that the official recognition of the impending danger took any concrete form, when Mr. OSBERT CHADWICK Was commissioned to make a report on the sanitation of the Colony, and in the following year the conclusions of this expert were given to the Secretary of State for the Colonies in some exhaustive reports. Lord KIMBERLEY, when for- warding these reports early in 1883 to the Officer Administering the Government (Hon. W. H. MARSH), remarked in the fourth paragraph of his covering despatch :

19

"What appears to me to be most urgent is that immediate steps "should be taken to organize and enforce a thorough house to house and "street to street service for the removal of night-soil, garbage, ashes, "house sweepings, and rubbish of every sort."

Soon after the receipt of Mr. CHADWICK'S reports Mr. MARSH appointed a permanent Sanitary Board "to supervise and control the practical sanitation of the "Colony.' The Board consisted of the Surveyor General, the Registrar General, and the Colonial Surgeon, with a sanitary inspector and staff. Three months later a Bill entitled "The Order and Cleanliness Amendment Ordinance" passed by the Legislative Council. Section II. of this Ordinance empowered the Governor to constitute a permanent Sanitary Board, consisting of the official

members above named, and two other unofficial members to be appointed by the Governor. Section III. gave powers to such Sanitary Board to abate overcrowding or filth, while section IV. conferred on the Board authority to enter and inspect houses. In 1886 Mr. A. P. MACEWEN and Dr. P. MANSON were appointed by the Governor the first unofficial members of the Sanitary Board. The meetings of the Board as then constituted were held in private, and little was known of their work and progress, but it is certain they were usefully employed, and made recommend- ations concerning the Public Health Ordinance which was read a first time in the Legislative Council on the 6th May, 1887. This highly important and greatly needed enactment, which, after a long discussion, was duly passed, sent to the Secretary of State, and approved by Her Majesty, contains all the powers necessary to secure the proper sanitation of the Colony. By it the Sanitary Board is authorized to make bye-laws respecting---

(a) Proper construction, trapping, ventilating, and maintaining of private

house drains.

(b) Cleansing, lime washing, and proper sanitary maintenance of all

premises in the Colony.

(e) Closing of premises unfit for human habitation and the prohibition of

their use as such.

(d) Prevention of overcrowding in premises, &c.

Nuisance.-

(a) Defective drains, want of light and ventilation, and accumulation of

house refuse, dirt, or any unwholesome matter.

(b) Any act, omission, or thing which is or may be dangerous to life or

injurious to health or property.

The Board may authorize any officer to enter and inspect premises on reasonable presumption of the existence of a nuisance, after lapse of six hours from giving notice to occupier.

If nuisance is not abated proviso is made for punishment by

Magistrate.

Drains.--The Board may require reconstruction of defective house drains and may inspect premises if they believe drains to be defective.

Overcrowding.-Less than 300 cubic feet of clear internal space for each adult shall be considered a nuisance, and proceedings for its abatement be taken.

In order the better to give effect to the Public Health Ordinance, the Governor (Sir G. WILLIAM DES VEUX) reconstituted the Sanitary Board, materially increasing the unofficial element, and giving the ratepayers the privilege of electing two gentlemen as their own immediate representatives. Unofficial members appointed and elected on the 11th June, 1888, were as follows:-

Messrs. WONG SHING,

JAMES CANTLIE,

N. J. EDE,

HIO KAI,

J. J. FRANCIS,

J. D. HUMPHREYS,

Appointed.

}

Elected.

On the reconstruction of the Board it was provided that its meetings should be held in public, and the proceedings have accordingly been regularly reported in the Press.

From what is above stated it will be apparent that the newly formed Sanitary Board was armed with very ample powers, and that it entered upon its period of office with the full knowledge of the urgent importance of effectively scavenging the City. Although this was the case it would seem that this department of the Board's work was never performed in the thorough manner which was absolutely necessary, for the state of Taiping-shan at the outbreak of the plague, so far as the accumulation of garbage and filth is concerned, could not have marked an improve- ment on the condition described by Mr. CHADWICK in 1881.

The much needed bye-laws for regulating the sanitary condition of common lodging houses were not made by the Board until 1891, and when these were approved by the Legislative Council in May of that year, the date of their coming into operation was, at the instance of the Board, deferred to the following year. It is alleged that representations on behalf of the Chinese in opposition to the provisions of the Public Health Ordinance against overcrowding and the possible interference with trade which would be caused by more active interference on their part, mainly

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4?H APRIL, 1896.

309

influenced both the Board and the Government in this postponement of the opera- tion of the bye-laws in question. Nor, on the expiration of the stipulated period of suspension, was the Board found less averse to the assumption of the responsibility of delaying the enforcement of its own regulations against overcrowding, for at its request the date of the operation of these bye-laws was again deferred by the Legis- lative Council-with what result this policy has been attended your Excellency is, unhappily, only too well acquainted. The responsibility for this failure to carry out one of the most essential requirements of the Public Health Ordinance seems to be divided between the Sanitary Board and the Government.

The legislative steps would seem to have been wisely taken, but they were allowed to fall into abeyance by a lack of prompt administrative and subordinate action.

It has generally been understood, and there is good reason for believing the statement, that the Sanitary Board has been well served by its inspectors, who have not failed to report upon the insanitary condition of the City, and therefore the Committee do not wish it to be supposed that they imply any censure of these inspectors. Indeed, it has been frequently stated-and the Committee pray your Excellency to investigate the statement-that the Sanitary Board had numerous reports and complaints in reference to sanitary matters. In the interests of the public this allegation should, in the opinion of the Chamber, be thoroughly sifted, and information be afforded to the public as to what action was taken by the Board in each case brought to its notice.

With regard to the drainage of the City, there is a wide-spread belief-but the Chamber has no means of verifying it-that the scheme, as drawn up by Mr. OSBERT CHADWICK, endorsed by Mr. J. M. PRICE, the late Surveyor General, and approved by the Government, has not been carried out on the original lines, and that the separate system has been more generally applied than was intended; upon this point it is desirable that the public should be thoroughly enlightened. In December 1890, the unofficial members of the Legislative Council, in a memoran- dum regarding the estimates for Public Works Extraordinary for 1891, sounded a note of warning on this subject to the following effect:--

(6

"We do not feel satisfied that the enormous expenditure of "$282,500, already voted, on the sewerage of Victoria was a desirable one "to incur, but as the work has been commenced and has therefore to be gone on with, we do not disapprove of the decision of Government to "sanction and carry out Mr. OSBERT CHADWICK'S proposals and plans, "but we are now of opinion that it would have been better when such "decision was approved of by the Council that it should have been arrived "at in such a manner as would have guarded against any possibility of "any changes in and departures from these plans by a change of officers." In the opinion of the Committee, before adopting the separate system of drainage for the Chinese town, the views of experienced resident engineers, familiar. with the habits of the Chinese, ought to have been ascertained. It is a very debatable question whether the system can be satisfactorily availed of for the densely packed districts of the native town, and however excellent it may be in an European, it is, at least, open to serious doubt whether it is safely applicable to a Chinese city.

Having regard to the foregoing, the Committee of this Chamber are unhesi- tatingly of opinion that, whilst it is almost certain the plague was introduced from the neighbouring province, it was only in consequence of the insanitary condition of this City that it was able to germinate and to become an unparalleled disaster, and that, therefore, it was due to preventible causes. The neglect of all effective sanitary measures throughout a period of years, and in the face of continuous and repeated protest, makes it abundantly manifest that there has been no effective administrative sanitary system in this Colony.

The Committee's excuse for addressing your Excellency at such length is the vast importance of the subject.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your Excellency's most obedient Servant,

With reference to what passed at a recent meeting of Unofficial Members when the composition of the Sanitary Board was discussed and a difference of opinion arose as to the question of responsibility in the event of the Government appointing a Medical Authority and Sanitary Engineer, I am decidedly of opinion that such appointment would infallibly place with the Government the responsibility for the sanitation of the Colony.

I consider that the public interests would be efficiently served if the Govern- ment were to reconstitute the Sanitary Board on the above lines, that is to say, by the nomination of a Medical Authority as President, a permanent Sanitary Specialist and Engineer, and the Captain Superintendent of Police. With these officials should be associated as at present, two members selected by the community.

As matters now are there is practically no properly constituted Sanitary Authority, and from its very nature it is impossible that the Board, as now existing, can adequately fulfil those junctions expected of it, or that it can be held fully responsible for any inefficiency in the sanitation of the Colony.

The state of sanitary matters exposed last summer on the outbreak of the plague sufficiently bears out these views, which I believe I am right in asserting, are shared by the public at large.

Honourable C. P. CHATER,

Senior Unofficial Member,

Legislative Council.

Believe me to be,

Yours truly,

J. J. KESWICK.

(Minute by the Honourable A. McConachie.)

Mr. KESWICK in the above letter expresses very clearly my own personal views on this matter. I would like, however, to add that I consider that the Government in having the appointment of a special medical authority as President would accept all responsibility, through their own officer, for the health of the Colony. The main fault to be found with the present Board is the fact that the responsibility for their actions cannot be pinned down to the Government or any one in particular.

A. MCCONACHIE.

(Minute by the Honourable C. P. Chater.)

My ideas on this subject are identical with those expressed in Mr. KESWICK'S letter, for I consider that a Board, composed as he suggests, would throw upon the Government the responsibility for the health of the Colony.

C. P. CHATER.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH APRIL, 1896.

DEAR SIR,

311

HONGKONG, 5th November, 1894.

Referring to the decision come to by the Unofficial Members upon the ques- tion of the re-organisation of the Sanitary Board submitted to their consideration by the Government, and the understanding arrived at between us that the min- ority--(Dr. Ho KAI and myself)---should furnish you with our reasons in writing for dissenting from our colleagues in their recommendation to His Excellency the Governor, I will now redeem the pledge.

The recommendation was, in brief, that the newly constituted Sanitary Board should consist of three Officials and two Unofficials, elected by the taxpayers, to be directly responsible to the Government.

To this I objected, urging that the Board should consist of three Officials only, directly responsible to the Government for the sanitation of the city, and that the introduction of the elective element would weaken the efficiency of the Board without securing any corresponding advantage.

We have already had experience in the working of the existing Board that the presence of Unofficial Members, out-voted by Officials, and powerless for executive purposes, has merely resulted in an overflow of debate and waste of valuable time.

But I object to the proposal for Unofficial elected Members chiefly because, while they would in all cases be out-voted and powerless, their presence at the Board, and the sanction given by their votes when in accord with their colleagues, would in some degree lessen the responsibility of the Officials, who might even seek to shelter themselves behind the Unofficial vote when some grave blunder had perhaps been perpetrated.

Honourable C. P. CHATER,

&c.,

&c.,

I am, Dear Sir,

Yours very truly,

E. R. BELILIOS.

Memorandum on the Reconstruction of the Sanitary Board.

I am of opinion that the Sanitary Board hardly requires reconstitution or reconstruction. What it urgently requires are:-

(a) Enlarged power.

(b) Increased staff.

The Sanitary Board has done splendid work in the past, notwithstanding the unfavourable opinions of a few leading residents, and it would have done much better had its power been enlarged and staff increased.

The Board should have power over all public as well as private drains, and it should have under its control the water supply of the Colony. Its legal power should be enlarged in several respects, especially as regards the inspection of houses and house-drains, and the prompt closing of houses unfit for human habitation with or without compensation. It should have an adequate staff con- sisting at least of the following officers and persons :-

1. A Sanitary Superintendent and Secretary.

2. A Medical Officer.

3. A Sanitary Engineer.

4. A Chief Inspector of Nuisance or Deputy Superintendent.

5. Twelve Inspectors of Nuisance.

6. A sufficient number of Office Clerks, Overseers, Coolies, &c.

With such increased power and staff as suggested, the present Sanitary Board would become a much more useful and effective institution, and would be found equal to the discharge of the various important duties entrusted to it by the Government, and it would meet with public approval and support.

On the other hand, if the Government is determined to reconstruct the Board, I am of opinion that the next best thing to be done is to abolish the Sanitary

312

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH APRIL, 1896.

Board altogether, and create a new Government Department, and call it the Sanitary Department, where all the Officers, high and low, shall be appointed by the Government, entirely subject to Government control, and held directly respon- sible to the Government. Such a Department would have my qualified approval and, I believe, that of the public also. In troublous time the Government, through this Department, would have complete charge of, and control over, the sanitation of the Colony, and would have no excuse for neglect of duty.

But I am strongly against the reconstruction of the Sanitary Board on the line as proposed, viz., three Government Officials and two Unofficials; the former to consist of a Medical Officer who is to be President, a Sanitary Engineer, and the Superintendent of Police, or some other Government Officer who may be selected by the Government; the latter, I understand, will be appointed by the rate-payers as at present. The preponderance of the official element at once indicates the position of the two Unofficial Members, who can have nothing but a consultative voice in the Board. Will this give public satisfaction? I think_not. Will it even give satisfaction to the two elected gentlemen themselves? I am certain that it will not. In common with others, I am a strong advocate of the principle" equal power, equal responsibility;" but deprecate half measures and divided responsibility.

In the proposed new Board neither the President nor any Member could be held to be entirely responsible to the Government, because his actions will have to be controlled and regulated by the decisions of his colleagues. But if the Pre- sident be invested with the power of commanding the official votes whenever it suits his purpose or views, then the presence of the Unofficials on the Board, nay, even of the other two Officials as well, would be quite unnecessary.

The present Board has a majority of Unofficial Members, two of whom are elected by public suffrage. If the presence of the Unofficial Members in the Board had not assisted in carrying out the duties of the Board in a satisfactory manner, why have any more Unofficials in the new Board, but if their advice and assistance had been of use, why seek to cut their number down so as to weaken their influence ? If the present Sanitary Board is a failure, let those who think and say so point out the true cause clearly and unmistakably, and it will be time then to consider the remedy; but it seems absurd to alter the constitution of the Board on specula- tion, simply because the Board was considered by a few to have failed in the discharge of its duties on some particular exceptional occasions. The proposed new Board seems to me nothing more than the Sanitary Board with its Unofficial Members greatly reduced in number and with an enormously increased staff under it. Such will never command my support.

3rd November, 1894.

SANITARY DEPARTMENT.

HO KAI.

217. With respect to the Sanitary Department, the total cost of which is set down at $62,557 composed of :-

Personal Emoluments,

Other Charges, ..................****

$ 24,272 38,285

we beg to state that we are unable to recommend any decrease in the cost thereof, but would call the attention of the Government to this important department with a view to the early consideration of the question whether the whole sanitary system of the Colony should not be placed on a different basis and all the sanitary arrangements and powers placed in the hands of one thoroughly competent officer who should be personally responsible to Government for all matters connected with the health of the Colony and for the carrying out of all sanitary laws and regulations.

218. If the officer selected for this important office be an engineer, he should have under him a duly qualified health officer, but if the head should be a medical man, then he should be assisted by a sanitary engineer to carry out the necessary work and, in either case, with a staff sufficient to see that the sanitary regulations and laws are duly observed and carried out. It might be made part of the duties of this officer to furnish periodical reports to the Government which might be published for general information.

LEAVE REGULATIONS

Made by the Captain Superintendent of Police, pursuant to Section 19 of the Police Force Consolidation Ordinance, 1887, (No. 14 of 1897).

I.-EUROPEANS.

Leave at the expiration of Five Years' Service.

1. Any European Member of the Police Force may, after each period of five years' service, on claiming his return passage, under § 16 of Ordinance 14 of 1887, apply through the Captain Superin- tendent of Police to His Excellency the Governor for permission to return to the service within a period not exceeding nine months.

2. Should this application be approved, the Applicant will receive half pay, during his absence, and a certificate entitling him to a return passage to the Colony within the period specified; subject to his passing a satisfactory Medical Examination about three months before the expiration of his leave as to his fitness to return to a tropical climate.

3. The Applicant shall enter into a bond for the refund of the half pay, or the difference between his pension and half pay as the case may be, drawn after his leaving the Colony, in case he does not return at the period specified.

4. This period may nevertheless be extended by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, on such ground as may to him be satisfactory, and such extension shall be deemed to be leave originally granted within the meaning of the above Sections I, II, and III, anything therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.

5. Such leave shall enable the Applicant to count his previous service as regards the time of service required before a pension is granted, and each period of two months on leave shall count as one month's service towards the computation of a pension.

6. On the Applicant's return to the Colony, he shall be reinstated in his relative position in the Force, and he will be sworn in for a further period of five years' service under §§ 8 and 13 of Ordinance

14 of 1887.

7. If at the expiration of five years' service leave is refused on the ground that the Applicant's service cannot then be spared, he shall be allowed leave at the earliest suitable date, and the time elapsing between the expiration of the above mentioned five years' service and the date of his going on leave, shall be calculated towards the period of five years' service to be served by him on his return from such leave. If the time of year at which a period of five years' service expires is on consideration of health unsuitable for leave to be taken, the Applicant may, by permission, go on leave at any time within six months from such expiration of service, and this interval shall count towards his next period of five years' service.

8. The period of time spent on leave will not count towards the calculation of time constituting any term of five years' service for bonus or passage.

II.-INDIANS.

1. Leave of absence will be granted to Indians, after each period of five years' service, subject to the following conditions:-

(a) That the Applicant's previous character has been good.

(b) That the leave does not exceed six months, except on special authority.

(c) That the period on leave counts towards the time of service necessary for pension, in the proportion of two months' leave counting as one month's service, and will enable him to count his previous service towards the period of service required before a pension is granted.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11?? APRIL, 1896.

329

(d) If at the expiration of five years' service leave is refused on the ground that the Applicant's service cannot then be spared, he shall be allowed leave at the earliest suitable date, and the time elapsing between the expiration of the above mentioned five years' service and the date of his going on leave, shall be calculated towards the period of five years' service to be served by him on his return from such leave. If the time of year at which a period of five years' service expires is on consideration of health unsuitable for leave to be taken, the Applicant may, by permission, go on leave at any time within six months from such expiration of service, and this interval shall count towards his next period of five years' service.

(e) That half pay is granted for the period on leave, and the return passage of the Applicant defrayed. These amounts will be paid on the Applicant's return to the Colony and re-enlistment.

(f) The number of men on leave will be limited at the discretion of His Excellency the

Governor.

(9) On the Applicant's return he will be sworn in under §§ 8 and 13 of Ordinance 44 of 1887, for a further period of five years' service, and reinstated in his relative position. III.- Members of the Force who are drawing allowance for knowledge of English, Hindustani or Chinese will be allowed to draw half the allowance when on half pay leave.

PENSION REGULATIONS.

The following Regulations, concerning the general conditions upon which Pensions, Superannuation Allow- ances, or other Relief are to be granted, under Section 17 of Ordinance No. 14 of 1887 to Subordinate Officers or Constables of the Police Force, authorized by His Excellency the Governor in Council, this 17th day of March, 1896, are substituted for those made by the Governor in Council on the 4th July, 1895, and Gazetted on the 13th July, 1895:---

　　1. Subject to the exceptions and provisions hereinafter contained, a Pension will be granted to any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force, who has completed fifteen years' service and has attained the age of 45 years, at a rate not exceeding 20/60ths of the Annual pay of his rank, pro- vided he shall have been in receipt of the same for the last three years; otherwise, the pension shall be calculated upon the average amount of pay received by such person during the three years next preceding the commencement of such Pension. Further, for every full and complete year's service after fifteen years, an addition to the Annual Pension of 1/60 part of the average annual pay of his rank shall be made for each additional year of such service.

　　2. Any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who may be invalided after serving ten complete years and under fifteen years, may (provided that such invaliding be not the consequence of intemperate or vicious habits) be granted a pension not exceeding 15/60ths of the average Annual pay of his rank during the past three years' service, and 1/60th for each full and complete year's service after ten years.

　　3. Any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who may be invalided as aforesaid before the completion of ten years' service may be granted a Gratuity not exceeding one month's average pay for the past three years for each complete year's service.

　　The Pension of a Subordinate Officer or Constable, who retires on account of infirmity of body or mind certified by the Colonial Surgeon to have been brought about by his own default or vicious habits, may be reduced by an amount not exceeding one half of the Pension to which such Subordinate Officer or Constable would otherwise have been entitled.

4. Subject to the exceptions and provisions hereinafter contained, a Pension will be granted to any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who joined previous to the 13th September, 1884, (excepting those who have joined under or have accepted an agreement to serve fifteen years before becoming entitled to a Pension) who has served ten years, at the rate of 15/60ths of the Annual pay of his rank, provided he shall have been in receipt of the same for the last three years; otherwise,

330

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH APRIL, 1896.

the Pension shall be calculated upon the average amount of pay received by such person during the three years next preceding the commencement of such Pension. Further, for every full and complete year's service after ten years, an addition to the Annual Pension of 1/60 part of the average annual pay of his rank shall be made for each additional year of such service.

5. Extra pay for acting appointments will in no case be taken into consideration, but good conduct allowance shall be included with pay in the calculation of Peusion or Gratuity.

6. Time spent on leave with half salary, provided it does not exceed 1/6th of resident service, shall be reckoned for Pension purposes at the rate of one month for every two months of such leave, but absence without salary or beyond 1/6th of resident service shall not be reckoned at all.

7. All Pensions granted shall be payable in Hongkong or London, or in the principal towns of British India.

8. Full Pensions or Gratuities will be granted only on the Applicant's conduct having been uniformly good.

9. Should the Applicant's conduct not have been uniformly good, a modified Pension or Gratuity will be granted. Should his conduct have been decidedly bad, no Pension or Gratuity will be paid.

10. A Commuted Payment, calculated at five times the amount of the Annual Pension, may be granted in lieu of a Pension, if the applicant should be unable to draw his Pension at any of the places before mentioned, or on the application of the Grantee, at the discretion of His Excellency the Governor.

11. If any person receiving a Pension under these Regulations should be appointed to fill any office in any Public Department, such l'ension shall cease to be paid for any period subsequent to such appointment if the annual amount of the profits of the office to which he shall be appointed shall be equal to those of the office formerly held by him; and in case it shall not be equal to those of his former office, then no more of such Pension shall be paid to him than what with the salary of his new appointment shall be equal to the profits of his former office.

12. A Pension is granted only on the condition that it becomes forfeited, and may be withdrawn by His Excellency the Governor, in any of the following cases :--

(a) On the conviction of the Grantee for any indictable offence.

(b) On his knowingly associating with thieves or suspected persons.

(c) On his refusing to give information and assistance to the Police whenever in his power, for the detection and apprehension of Criminals, and for the suppression of any dis- turbance of the public peace.

(d) If he enter into or continue to carry on any business, occupation, or employment, which shall be, in the opinion of His Excellency the Governor, disgraceful in itself or inju- rious to the public, or in which he shall make use of the fact of his former employ- ment in the Police in a manner which His Excellency the Governor considers to be discreditable and improper.

13. It shall, however, be in the discretion of the Governor in Council to grant a special rate of Pension to any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who may be compelled to quit the Public Service by reason of severe bodily injury, occasioned without his own fault, in the discharge of his public duty or whose retirement may be proved to have been accelerated by such injuries.

every

In such case the amount of pension shall be made to vary partly in proportion to the num- ber of years served by the injured man, and partly in proportion to the severity of the injury and the date of its occurrence. The portion of the pension earned by length of service shall be calculated at the rate of 1/60th of the salary of the Officer at the time when he retires, for each year of service then completed by him, whether the number of years served be more or less than 10, but no number of years service shall be allowed to give a claim to pension of more than 40/60ths in respect of service only; and in every such case a Medical Certificate shall be furnished stating:-

(a) Whether the capacity of the Officer affected to contribute towards his own support is

slightly impaired, impaired, materially impaired, or totally destroyed, and

(b) Whether such incapacity is likely to be permanent.

(c) Whether the retirement is to be attributed solely and immediately to the injuries received. An addition to the pension of the Officer, on account of the injury may then be made on the following scale :-

(a) When the capacity is certified to be slightly impaired not exceeding 6/60ths of the pay

of the Officer at the time he receives such injury.

(b) When impaired not exceeding 12/60;

(e) When materially impaired not exceeding 18/60;

(d) When totally destroyed not exceeding 24/60ths.

But in no case shall the total amount of the pension exceed the full amount of the pay of the sufferer at the time when the injury occurred.

　　　14. When Police Officers are transferred to some other civil employment under the Government of Hongkong or to any other public employment with the sanction of the Governor, they will not, in the absence of any special arrangement to the contrary, retain a claim to pension under these Regula- tions but will be dealt with under the ordinary regulations for civil servants or under such special arrangements as may be made at the time of the transfer.

[Ratifications exchanged at Tokio, November 21, 1895.]

WHEREAS, by the Protocol signed at London on the 16th of July, 1894, it was agreed between the Government of Her Britannic Majesty and the Government of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan that the ad valorem duties of the Tariff annexed to the aforesaid Protocol should, so far as might be deemed practicable, be converted into specific duties by means of a Supplementary Convention, to be concluded between the two Governments within six months from the date of that Protocol; and

Whereas this period was extended by subsequent arrangement:

　　The High Contracting Parties have appointed as their Plenipotentiaries to conclude a Convention for this purpose, that is to say:

　　Her Britannic Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, Gerard Augustus Lowther, Her Britannic Majesty's Charge d'Affaires ;

　　And His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, Marquis Saionzi Kimmochi, Junii, first class of the Order of the Sacred Treasure, His Imperial Majesty's Minister of State for Education, and Acting Minister of State for Foreign Affairs ;

[16th April, 1896.]

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:

Preliminary.

1. For the purposes of this Ordinance :

(1) The expression "mercantile agent'

shall mean a

mercantile agent having in the customary course of his business as such agent authority either to sell goods, or to consign goods for the purpose of sale, or to buy goods, or to raise money on the security of goods:

(2) A person shall be deemed to be in possession of goods or of the documents of title to goods, where the goods or documents are in his actual custody or are held by any other person subject to his control or for him or on his behalf: (3) The expression "goods" shall include wares and

merchandise:

(4) The expression "document of title" shall include any bill of lading, dock warrant, warehouse- keeper's certificate, and warrant or order for the delivery of goods, and any other document used in the ordinary course of business as proof of the possession or control of goods, or author- ising or purporting to authorise, either by endorsement or by delivery, the possessor of the document to transfer or receive goods there- by represented:

(5) The expression "pledge" shall include any con- tract pledging, or giving a lien or security on, goods, whether in consideration of an original advance or of any further or continuing advance or of any peenniary liability:

(6) The expression "person" shall include any body

of persons corporate or unincorporate.

Dispositions by Mercantile Agents.

2. (1) Where a mercantile agent is, with the consent of the owner, in possession of goods or of the documents of title to goods, any sale, pledge, or other disposition of the goods, made by him when acting in the ordinary course of business of a mercantile agent, shall, subject to the provi- sions of this Ordinance, be as valid as if he were expressly authorised by the owner of the goods to make the same; provided that the person taking under the disposition acts in good faith, and has not at the time of the disposition notice that the person making the disposition has not authority to make the same.

(2) Where a mercantile agent has, with the consent of the owner, been in possession of goods or of the documents of title to goods, any sale, pledge, or other disposition, which would have been valid if the consent had continued, shall be valid notwithstanding the determination of the consent: provided that the person taking under the disposi- tion has not at the time thereof notice that the consent has been determined.

(3) Where a mercantile agent has obtained possession of any documents of title to goods by reason of his being or having been, with the consent of the owner, in possession of the goods represented thereby, or of any other documents of title to the goods, his possession of the first-mentioned documents shall, for the purposes of this Ordinance, be deemed to be with the consent of the owner.

(4) For the purposes of this Ordinance the consent of the owner shall be presumed in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

3. A pledge of the documents of title to goods shall be deemed to be a pledge of the goods.

4. Where a mercantile agent pledges goods as security for a debt or liability due from the pledgor to the pledgee before the time of the pledge, the pledgee shall acquire no further right to the goods than could have been enforced by the pledgor at the time of the pledge.

5. The consideration necessary for the validity of a sale, pledge, or other disposition, of goods, in pursuance of this Ordinance, may be either a payment in cash, or the delivery or transfer of other goods, or of a document of title to goods, or of a negotiable security, or any other valuable consideration; but where goods are pledged by a mercantile agent in consideration of the delivery or transfer of other goods, or of a document of title to goods, or of a negotiable security, the pledgee shall acquire no right or interest in the goods so pledged in excess of the value of the goods, documents, or security when so delivered or transferred in exchange.

6. For the purposes of this Ordinance an agreement made with a mercantile agent through a clerk or other person authorised in the ordinary course of business to make contracts of sale or pledge on his behalf shall be deemed to be an agreement with the agent.

7. (1) Where the owner of goods has given possession of the goods to another person for the purpose of consign- ment or sale, or has shipped the goods in the name of another person, and the consignee of the goods has not had notice that such person is not the owner of the goods, the consignee shall, in respect of advances made to or for the use of such person, have the same lien on the goods as if such person were the owner of the goods, and may transfer any such lien to another person.

(2) Nothing in this section shall limit or affect the validity of any sale, pledge, or disposition, by a mercantile agent.

Dispositions by Sellers and Buyers of Goods.

8. Where a person, having sold goods, continues, or is, in possession of the goods or of the documents of title to the goods, the delivery or transfer by that person, or by a mercantile agent acting for him, of the goods or documents of title under any sale, pledge, or other disposition thereof, or under any agreement for sale, pledge, or other disposition thereof, to any person receiving the same in good faith and without notice of the previous sale, shall have the same effect as if the person making the delivery or transfer were expressly authorised by the owner of the goods to make the

same.

9. Where a person, having bought or agreed to buy goods, obtains with the consent of the seller possession of the goods or the documents of title to the goods, the delivery or transfer, by that person or by a mercantile agent acting for him, of the goods or documents of title, under any sale, pledge, or other disposition thereof, or under any agreement for sale, pledge, or other disposition thereof, to any person receiving the same in good faith and without notice of any lien or other right of the original seller in respect of the goods, shall have the same effect as if the person making the delivery or transfer were a mercantile agent in possession of the goods or documents of title with the consent of the owner.

10. Where a document of title to goods has been lawfully transferred to a person as a buyer or owner of the goods, and that person transfers the document to a person who takes the document in good faith and for valuable consider- ation, the last-mentioned transfer shall have the same effect for defeating any vendor's lien or right of stoppage in tram itu as the transfer of a bill of lading has for defeating the right of stoppage in transita.

Supplemental.

11. For the purposes of this Ordinance, the transfer of a document may be by endorsement, or, where the document is by custom or by its express terms transferable by delivery, or makes the goods deliverable to the bearer, then by delivery.

12. (1) Nothing in this Ordinance shall authorise an agent to exceed or depart from his authority as between himself and his principal, or exempt him from any liability, civil or criminal, for so doing.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH APRIL, 1896.

(2) Nothing in this Ordinance shall prevent the owner of goods from recovering the goods from an agent or his trustee in bankruptcy at any time before the sale or pledge thereof, or shall prevent the owner of goods pledged by an agent from having the right to redeem the goods at any time before the sale thereof, on satisfying the claim for which the goods were pledged, and paying to the agent, if by him required, any money in respect of which the agent would by law be entitled to retain the goods or the docu- ments of title thereto, or any of them, by way of lien as against the owner, or from recovering from any person

with whom the goods have been pledged any balance of money remaining in his hands as the produce of the sale of the goods after deducting the amount of his lien.

(3) Nothing in this Ordinance shall prevent the owner of goods sold by an agent from recovering from the buyer the price agreed to be paid for the same, or any part of that price, subject to any right of set off on the part of the buyer against the agent.

13. The provisions of this Ordinance shall be construed in amplification and not in derogation of the powers exer- ciseable by an agent independently of this Ordinance.

14. The enactments mentioned in the schedule to this Ordinance are hereby repealed, so far as they are applicable to the Colony, as from the commencement of this Ordinance, but this repeal shall not affect any right acquired or liability incurred before the commencement of this Ordinance under any enactment hereby repealed.

15. This Ordinance shall commence and come into opera- tion on the first day of July, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-six.

16. This Ordinance may be cited as The Factors Ordi- nance, 1896.

FORMATION OF THE CONTRACT.

Contract of Sale.

1. (1) A compact of sale of goods is a contract whereby the seller transfers or agrees to transfer the property in goods to the bayer for a money consideration, called the price. There may be a contract of sale between one part owner and another.

(2) A contract of sale may be absolute or conditional.

(3) Where under a contract of sale the property in the goods is transferred from the seller to the buyer the contract is called a sale; but where the transfer of the property in the goods is to take place at a future time or subject to some condition thereafter to be fulfilled the contract is called an agreement to sell.

(4) An agreement to sell becomes a sale when the time elapses or the conditions are fulfilled subject to which the property in the goods is to be transferred.

3. Capacity to buy and sell is regulated by the general law concerning capacity to contract, and to transfer and acquire property.

Provided that where necessaries are sold and delivered to an infant, or minor, or to a person who by reason of mental incapacity or drunkenness is incompetent to con- tract, he must pay a reasonable price therefor.

Necessaries in this rection mean goods suitable to the condition in Mh of such infant or minor or other person, and to his actual requirements at the time of the sale and delivery.

Formakties of the Contract.

6. Subpret ta the provisions of this Ordinance and of any enactment That behalf, a contract of sale may be made in writing (either with or withent seal), or by word of mouth, or partly in writing and partly by word of mouth, or may be implied from the conduct of the parties.

Provided that nothing in this section shall affect the law relating to corporations.

4. (1) A costrant for the sale of any goods of the value of one lundred dollars or upwards shall not be enforceable by action unless the buyer shall accept part of the goods so sold, and actually receive the same, or give something in earnest to bind the contract, or in part payment, or unless some note or memesndum in writing of the contract be made and signed by the party to be charged or his agent in that behalf.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH APRIL, 1896.

(2) The provisions of this section apply to every such contract, notwithstanding that the goods may be intended to be delivered at some future time, or may not at the time of such contract be actually made, procured, or provided, or fit or ready for delivery, or some act may be requisite for the making or completing thereof, or rendering the same fit for delivery.

(3) There is an acceptance of goods within the meaning of this section when the buyer does any act in relation to the goods which recognises a pre-existing contract of sale whether there be an acceptance in performance of the

contract or not.

Subject matter of Contract.

5. (1) The goods which form the subject of a contract of sale may be either existing goods, owned or possessed by the seller, or goods to be manufactured or acquired by the seller after the making of the contract of sale, in this Ordinance called "fature goods."

(2) There may be a contract for the sale of goods, the acquisition of which by the seller depends upon a con- tingency which may or may not happen.

(3) Where by a contract of sale the seller purports to effect a present sale of future goods, the contract operates as an agreement to sell the goods.

6. Where there is a contract for the sale of specific goods, and the goods without the knowledge of the seller have perished at the time when the contract is made, the contract is void.

7. Where there is an agreement to sell specific goods, and subsequently the goods, without any fault on the part of the seller or buyer, perish before the risk passes to the buyer, the agreement is thereby avoided.

The Price.

S. (1) The price in a contract of sale may be fixed by the contract, or may be left to be fixed in manner thereby agreed, or may be determined by the course of dealing between the parties.

(2) Where the price is not determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions the buyer must pay a reasonable price. What is a reasonable price is a question of fact dependent on the circumstances of each particular

case.

9. (1) Where there is an agreement to sell goods on the terms that the price is to be fixed by the valuation of a third party, and such third party cannot or does not make such valuation, the agreement is avoided; provided that if the goods or any part thereof have been delivered to and appropriated by the buyer he must pay a reasonable price therefor.

(2) Where such third party is prevented from making the valuation by the fault of the seller or buyer, the party not in fault may maintain an action for damages against the party in fault.

Conditions and Warranties.

10. (1) Unless a different intention appears from the terms of the contract, stipulations as to time of payment are not deemed to be of the essence of a contract of sale. Whether any other stipulation as to time is of the essence of the contract or not depends on the terms of the contract. (2) In a contract of sale "month' means prima facie

calendar month.

11. (1) Where a contract of sale is subject to any condition to be fulfilled by the seller, the buyer may waive the condition, or may elect to treat the breach of such condition as a breach of warranty, and not as a ground for treating the contract as repudiated.

(2) Whether a stipulation in a contract of sale is a condition, the breach of which may give rise to a right to treat the contract as repudiated, or a warranty, the breach of which may give rise to a claim for damages but not a right to reject the goods and treat the contract as repudiated, depends in each case on the construction of the contract, A stipulation may be a condition, though called a warranty in the contract:

(83) Where a contract of sale is not severable, and the buyer has accepted the goods, or part thereof, or where the contract is for specific goods, the property in which has passed to the buyer, the breach of any condition to be fulfilled by the seller can only be treated as a breach of warranty, and not as a ground for rejecting the goods and treating the contract as repudiated, unless there be a term of the contract, express or implied, to that effect.

EFFECTS OF THE CONTRACT,

Transfer a Troperty as between Seller and Buyer.

16. Where there is a contract for the sale of unascer- tained goods no property in the goods is transferred to the buyer unless and until the goods are ascertained.

1896.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH APRIL, 1896.

17. (1) Where there is a contract for the sale of specific or ascertained goods the property in them is transferred to the buyer at such time as the parties to the contract intend it to be transferred.

(2) For the purpose of ascertaining the intention of the parties regard shall be had to the terms of the contract, the conduct of the parties, and the circumstances of the

case.

18. Unless a different intention appears, the following are rules for ascertaining the intention of the parties as to the time at which the property in the goods is to pass to the buyer.

Rule 1.-Where there is an unconditional contract for the sale of specific goods in a deliverable state, the property in the goods passes to the buyer when the contract is made, and it is immaterial whether the time of payment or the time of delivery, or both, be postponed.

Rule 2.

Where there is a contract for the sale of specific goods, and the seller is bound to do something to the goods for the purpose of putting them into a deliver- able state, the property does not pass until such thing be done and the buyer has notice thereof. Rule 3.--Where there is a contract for the sale of specific goods in a deliverable state, but the seller is bound to weigh, measure, test, or do some other act or thing with reference to the goods for the purpose of ascertaining the price, the property docs not pass until such act or thing be done and the buyer has notice thereof.

66

Rule 4.-When goods are delivered to the buyer on approval or on sale or return" or other similar terms the property therein passes to the buyer :-

(a) When he signifies his approval or acceptance to the seller or does any other act adopting the

transaction:

(b) If he does not signify his approval or acceptance to the seller but retains the goods without giving notice of rejection, then, if a time has been fixed for the return of the goods, on the expiration of such time, and, if no time has been fixed, on the expiration of a reasonable time. What is a reasonable time is a question of fact. Rule 5.-(i) Where there is a contract for the sale of unascertained or future goods by description, and goods of that description and in a deliverable state are unconditionally appropriated to the contract, either by the seller with the assent of the buyer, or by the buyer with the assent of the seller, the pro- perty in the goods thereupon passes to the buyer. Such assent may be express or implied, and may be given either before or after the appropriation is made: (ii) Where, in pursuance of the contract, the seller delivers the goods to the buyer or to a carrier or other bailee (whether named by the buyer or not) for the purpose of transmission to the buyer, aud does not reserve the right of disposal, he is deemed to have unconditionally appropriated the goods to the

contract.

19. (1) Where there is a contract for the sale of specific goods or where goods are subsequently appropriated to the contract, the seller may, by the terms of the contract or appropriation, reserve the right of disposal of the goods until certain conditions are fulfilled. In such case. not- withstanding the delivery of the goods to the buyer, or to a carrier or other bailee for the purpose of transinission to the buyer, the property in the goods does not pass to the buyer until the conditions imposed by the seller are fulfilled.

(2) Where goods are shipped, and by the bill of lading the goods are deliverable to the order of the seller or his agent, the seller is prima facie deemed to reserve the right of disposal.

(3) Where the seller of goods draws on the buyer for the price, and transmits the bill of exchange and bill of lading to the buyer together to secure acceptance or payment of the bill of exchange, the buyer is bound to return the bill of lading if he does not honour the bill of exchange, and if he wrongfully retains the bill of lading the property in the goods does not pass to him.

20. Unless otherwise agreed, the goods remain at the seller's risk until the property therein is transferred to the buyer, but when the property therein is transferred to the

21. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Ordinance where goods are sold by a person who is not the owner thereof, and who does not sell them under the authority or with the consent of the owner, the buyer acquires no better title to the goods than the seller had, unless the owner of the goods is by his conduct precluded from denying the seller's authority to sell.

(2) Provided also that nothing in this Ordinance shall

22. (1) Where goods are openly sold in a shop or market in this Colony, in the ordinary course of the business of such shop or market, the buyer acquires a good title to the goods, provided he buys them in good faith and without notice of any defect or want of title on the part of the seller.

(2) Nothing in this section shall affect the law relating to the sale of horses.

28. When the seller of goods has a voidable title thereto, but his title has not been avoided at the time of the sale, the buyer acquires a good title to the goods, provided he buys them in good faith and without notice of the seller's defect of title.

24. (1) Where goods have been stolen and the offender is prosecuted to conviction, the property in the goods so stolen revests in the person who was the owner of the goods, or his personal representative, notwithstanding any intermediate dealing with them, whether by sale in accord- ance with the provisions of section 22 of this Ordinance or otherwise.

(2) Notwithstanding any enactment to the contrary, where goods have been obtained by fraud or other wrong- ful means not amounting to larceny, the property in such goods shall not revest in the person who was the owner of the goods, or his personal representative, by reason only of the conviction of the offender.

25. (1) Where a person having sold goods continues or is in possession of the goods, or of the documents of title to the goods, the delivery or transfer by that person, or by a mercantile agent acting for him, of the goods or documents of title under any sale, pledge, or other dispo- sition thereof, to any person receiving the same in good faith and without notice of the previous sale shall have the same effect as if the person making the delivery or transfer were expressly authorised by the owner of the goods to make the same.

() Where a person having bought or agreed to buy goods obtains, with the consent of the seller, possession of the goods or the documents of title to the goods, the deli- very or transfer by that person, or by a mercantile agent acting for him, of the goods or documents of title, under any sale, pledge, or other disposition thereof, to any person receiving the same in good faith and without notice of any lien or other right of the original seller in respect of the goods, shall have the same effect as if the person making the delivery or transfer were a mercantile agent in possession of the goods or documents of title with the consent of the owner.

(3) In this section the term "morcantile agent' means a mercantile agent having in the customary course of his business as such agent authority either to sell goods or to consign goods for the purpose of sale, or to buy goods, or to raise money on the security of goods.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH APRIL, 1896.

26. (1) A writ of fieri facias or other writ of execution against goods shall bind the property in the goods of the execution debtor as from the time when the writ is deli- vered to the bailiff to be executed; and, for the better manifestation of such time, it shall be the duty of the bailiff, without fee, upon the receipt of any such writ to endorse upon the back thereof the hour, day, month, and year when he received the same.

Provided that no such writ shall prejudice the title to such goods acquired by any person in good faith and for valuable consideration, unless such person had at the time when he acquired his title notice that such writ or any other writ by virtue of which the goods of the execution debtor might be seized or attached had been delivered to and remained unexecuted in the hands of the bailiff.

(2) In this section the term "bailiff" includes any officer charged with the enforcement of a writ of execution.

28. Unless otherwise agreed, delivery of the goods and payment of the price are concurrent conditions, that is to say, the seller must be ready and willing to give possession of the goods to the buyer in exchange for the price, and the buyer must be ready and willing to pay the price in exchange for possession of the goods.

29. (1) Whether it is for the buyer to take possession of the goods or for the seller to send them to the buyer is a question depending in each case on the contract, express or implied, between the parties. Apart from any such contract, express or implied, the place of delivery is the seller's place of business, if he have one, and if not, his residence: Provided that, if the contract be for the sale of specific goods, which to the knowledge of the parties when the contract is made are in some other place, then that place is the place of delivery.

(2) Where under the contract of sale the seller is bound to send the goods to the buyer, but no time for sending them is fixed, the seller is bound to send them within a reasonable time.

(3) Where the goods at the time of sale are in the pos- session of a third person, there is no delivery by seller to buyer unless and until such third person acknowledges to the buyer that he holds the goods on his behalf; provided that nothing in this section shall affect the operation of the issue or transfer of any document of title to goods.

(4) Demand or tender of delivery may be treated as ineffectual unless made at a reasonable hour, What is a reasonable hour is a question of fact.

(5) Unless otherwise agreed, the expenses of and inciden- tal to putting the goods into a deliverable state must be borne by the seller.

30. (1) Where the seller delivers to the buyer a quan- tity of goods less than he contracted to sell, the buyer may reject them, but if the buyer accepts the goods so delivered he must pay for them at the contract rate.

(2) Where the seller delivers to the buyer a quantity of goods larger than he contracted to sell, the buyer may accept the goods included in the contract and reject the rest, or he may reject the whole. If the buyer accepts the whole of the goods,so delivered he must pay for them at the contract rate.

(3) Where the seller delivers to the buyer the goods he contracted to sell mixed with goods of a different description not included in the contract, the buyer may accept the goods which are in accordance with the contract and reject the rest, or he may reject the whole.

(4) The provisions of this section are subject to any usage of trade, special agreement, or course of dealing between the parties.

31. (1) Unless otherwise agreed, the buyer of goods is not bound to accept delivery thereof by instalments.

(2) Where there is a contract for the sale of goods to be delivered by stated instalments, which are to be separately paid for, and the seller makes defective deliveries in respect of one or more instalments, or the buyer neglects or refuses to take delivery of or pay for one or more instalments, it is a question in each case depending on the

terms of the contract and the circumstances of the case, whether the breach of contract is a repudiation of the whole contract, or whether it is a severable breach giving rise to a claim for compensation but not to a right to treat the whole contract as repudiated.

32. (1) Where, in pursuance of a contract of sale, the seller is authorised or required to send the goods to the buyer, delivery of the goods to a carrier, whether named by the buyer or not, for the purpose of transmission to the buyer is prima facie deemed to be a delivery of the goods to the buyer.

(2) Unless otherwise authorised by the buyer, the seller must make such contract with the carrier on behalf of the buyer as may be reasonable having regard to the nature of the goods and the other circumstances of the case. If the seller omit so to do, and the goods are lost or damaged in course of transit, the buyer may decline to treat the delivery to the carrier as a delivery to himself, or may hold the seller responsible in damages.

(3) Unless otherwise agreed, where goods are sent by the seller to the buyer by a route involving sea transit, under circumstances in which it is usual to insur? the seller must give such notice to the buyer as may enable him to insure them during their sea transit, and, if the seller fails, to do so, the goods shall be deemed to be at his risk during such sea transit.

33. Where the seller of goods agrees to deliver them at his own risk at a place other than that where they are when sold, the buyer must, nevertheless, unless otherwise agreed, take any risk of deterioration in the goods neces- sarily incident to the course of transit.

34. (1) Where goods are delivered to the buyer, which he has not previously examined, he is not deemed to have accepted them unless and until he has had a reasonable opportunity of examining them for the purpose of ascertain- ing whether they are in conformity with the contract.

(2) Unless otherwise agreed, when the seller tenders delivery of goods to the buyer, he is bound, on request, to afford the buyer a reasonable opportunity of examining the goods for the purpose of ascertaining whether they are in conformity with the contract.

35. The buyer is deemed to have accepted the goods when he intimates to the seller that he has accepted them, or when the goods have been delivered to him, and he does any act in relation to them which is inconsistent with the ownership of the seller, or when, after the lapse of a reason- able time, he retains the goods without intimating to the seller that he has rejected them.

36. Unless otherwise agreed, where goods are delivered to the buyer, and he refuses to accept them, having the right so to do, he is not bound to return them to the seller, but it is sufficient if he intimates to the seller that he refuses to accept them.

37. When the seller is ready and willing to deliver the goods and requests the buyer to take delivery, and the buyer does not within a reasonable time after such

　　　　　　request take delivery of the goods, he is liable to the seller for any loss occasioned by his neglect or refusal to take delivery, and also for a reasonable charge for the care and enstody of the goods. Provided that nothing in this section shall affect the rights of the seller where the neglect or refusal of the buyer to take delivery amounts to a repudiation of the contract.

Unpaid seller defined.

47. (1) Subject to the provisions of this section, a contract of sale is not rescinded by the mere exercise by an unpaid seller of his right of lien or retention or stoppage in transitu.

(2) Where an unpaid seller who has exercised his right of lien or retention or stoppage in transitu re-sells the goods, the buyer acquires a good title thereto as against the original buyer.

(3) Where the goods are of a perishable nature, or where the unpaid seller gives notice to the buyer of his intention to re-sell, and the buyer does not within a reasonable time pay or tender the price, the unpaid seller may re-sell the goods and recover from the original buyer damages for any loss occasioned by his breach of contract.

(4) Where the seller expressly reserves a right of re-sale in case the buyer should make default, and, on the buyer making defanit, re-sells the goods, the original contract of sale is thereby rescinded, but without prejudice to any claim the seller may have for damages.

PART V.

ACTIONS FOR BREACH OF THE CONTRACT.

Remedies of the Seller.

48. (1) Where, under a contract of sale, the property in the goods has passed to the buyer, and the buyer wrongfully neglects or refuses to pay for the goods according to the terms of the contract, the seller may maintain an action against him for the price of the goods.

(2) Where, under a contract of sale, the price is payable on a day certain irrespective of delivery, and the buyer wrongfully neglects or refuses to pay such price, the seiler may maintain an action for the price, although the property in the goods has not passed, and the goods have not been appropriated to the contract.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH APRIL, 1896.

49. (1) Where the buyer wrongfully neglects or refuses to accept and pay for the goods, the seller may maintain an action against him for damages for non-acceptance.

(2) The measure of damages is the estimated loss directly and naturally resulting, in the ordinary course of events, from the buyer's breach of contract.

(3) Where there is an available market for the goods in question the measure of damages is prima facie to be ascertained by the difference between the contract price and the market or current price at the time or times when the goods ought to have been accepted, or, if 110 time was fixed for acceptance, then at the time of the refusal to accept.

Remedies of the Buyer.

50. (1) Where the seller wrongfully neglects or refuses to deliver the goods to the buyer, the buyer may maintain an action against the seller for damages for non-delivery.

(2) The measure of damages is the estimated loss directly and naturally resulting, in the ordinary course of events, from the seller's breach of contract.

(3) Where there is an available market for the goods in question the measure of damages is prima fucie to be ascertained by the difference between the contract price and the market or current price of the goods at the time or times when they ought to have been delivered, or, if no time was fixed, then at the time of the refusal to deliver.

51. In any action for breach of contract to deliver specific or ascertained goods the court may, if it thinks fit, on the application of the plaintiff, by its judgment or decree direct that the contract shall be performed specifically, without giving the defendant the option of retaining the goods on payment of damages. The judgment or decree may be unconditional, or upon such terms and conditions as to damages, payment of the price, and otherwise, as to the court may seem just, and the application by the plaintiff may be made at any time before judgment or decree.

52. (1) Where there is a breach of warranty by the seller, or where the buyer elects, or is compelled, to treat - any breach of a condition on the part of the seller as a breach of warranty, the buyer is not by reason only of such breach of warranty entitled to reject the goods; but he may (a) set up against the seller the breach of warranty

in diminution or extinction of the price; or (b) maintain an action against the seller for damages

for the breach of warranty.

(2) The measure of damages for breach of warranty is the estimated loss directly and naturally resulting, in the ordinary course of events, from the breach of warranty.

(3) In the case of breach of warranty of quality such loss is prima facie the difference between the value of the goods at the time of delivery to the buyer and the value they would have had if they had answered to the warranty.

(4) The fact that the buyer has set up the breach of warranty in diminution or extinction of the price does not prevent him from maintaining an action for the same breach of warranty if he has suffered further damage.

53. Nothing in this Ordinance shall affect the right of the buyer or the seller to recover interest or special damages in any case where by law interest or special damages may be recoverable, or to recover money paid where the consi- deration for the payment of it has failed.

Damages for non- acceptance.

Damages for non-delivery.

Specific performance.

Remedy for breach of warranty.

Interest and special

damages.

PART VI.

SUPPLEMENTARY.

54. Where any right, duty, or liability would arise under a contract of sale by implication of law, it may be negatived or varied by express agreement or by the course of dealing between the parties, or by usage, if the usage be such as to bind both parties to the contract.

55. Where, by this Ordinance, any reference is made to a reasonable time the question what is a reasonable time is a question of fact.

56. Where any right, duty, or liability is declared by this Ordinance it may, unless otherwise by this Ordinance provided, be enforced by action.

Exclusion of implied terms and conditions.

Reasonable time a question of fact.

Rights, &c., enforceable by action.

(3) Nothing in this Ordinance or in any repeal effected thereby shall affect the enactments relating to bills of sale, or any enactment relating to the sale of goods which is not expressly repealed by this Ordinance.

(4) The provisions of this Ordinance relating to con- tracts of sale do not apply to any transaction in the form of a contract of sale which is intended to operate by way of mortgage, pledge, charge, or other security.

The following Finding of the Marine Court of Enquiry into the stranding of the British steamer Exe, Official No. 94,309, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 24th April, 1896.

FINDING.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

We find that the British S.S. Exe, Official No. 94,309, of which HENRY WILLIAM PELL was Master, whose Certificate of Competency is 11,732, left Hongkong on 8th April last bound for Saigon. the ship being in ballast and drawing 15 feet aft and 8 feet forward.

That almost directly after leaving the harbour a thick fog was experienced in consequence of which the ship was anchored in Lamma Bay.

The following morning the weather having improved the ship was weighed and a course shapel S. by W. (Mag.).

After passing Lingting Island, the course was altered to S.W. by S. (Mag.), and this was expected to take her 1 miles clear of Heung Kong Chau of the Samoun Group of Islands.

That the weather became very thick again shortly before 7 A.M., and, a few minutes after, the ship struck, and it was found that she had stranded on the S.E. extremity of the Eastern Island of the Samoun Group.

The Court has carefully considered the circumstances which lead to the stranding of the vessel as laid before them in the evidence, and have come to the conclusion that the casualty was directly due to an error in the position of the ship when the last course was set.

They are of opinion that the estimated distance off Lingting was erroneous, and that in conse- quence of this error the course afterwards set was not a proper one, and they consider that the Master should have taken steps to assure himself of his position at that time, seeing that the circumstances of the weather demanded caution, and also admitted of some such steps being taken.

The attention of the Court is directed to the fact that there was only one Officer on deck besides the Captain-the Chief Officer who was fully employed with the anchors and cables-the remaining Officers were below having been on deck watch during the night. The Court considers that the Master should have had at least one Officer with him on the bridge in the circumstances.

The conclusion which the Court finds itself obliged to come to is that the ship was not navigate l with due care which the circumstances of the weather demanded, and therefore they consider that the Captain is deserving of censure, but they are not disposed to say that this omission amounted to such wrongful act or default as to cause them to deal with his Certificate.

After the casualty all was done that was possible with the object of saving the ship and the officers and crew appear to have conducted themselves in a satisfactory manner.

Given under our hands at Hongkong this 22nd day of April, 1896.

Referring to Notice to Mariners, No. 732 (1888) of 1895, the following particulars have been received through Lieutenant K.

　　　SIR, With reference to Lord KNUTSFORD'S Circular despatch of the 13th August, 1889, I have the honour to transmit to you, for information and publication in the Colony under your Government, copies of an Order of the Queen in Council, dated the 22nd February last respecting the tonnage measurement of ships of the German Empire.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

AT THE COURT AT WINDSOR,

The 22nd day of February, 1896.

PRESENT,

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL. HEREAS by an Order in Council, dated the 23rd day of July, 1889, made by Her Majesty in exercise of the powers conferred upon Her by the Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862, Her Majesty was pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to direct as follows:-- 1. As regards Sailing Ships that Merchant Sailing Ships of the German Empire, the measurement whereof after the 1st day of January, 1873, has been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such sailing ships, testified by the date thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such registers and other national papers in the same manner and to the same extent, and for the same purpose in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the Certificate of Registry of British Sailing Ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships.

410

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH MAY, 1896.

2. As regards Steamships, that Merchant Ships belonging to the said German Empire, which are propelled by steam or any other power requiring engine room, the measurement whereof shall, after the said 1st day of January, 1873, have been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such Steamships, testified by the dates thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted on such registers or other national papers in the same manner and to the same extent, and for the same purpose, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the Certificate of Registry of British Ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships. Provided, nevertheless, that if the Owner or Master of any such German. Steamship desires the deduction for engine room in his Ship to be estimated under the rules for engine room measurement and deduction applicable to British Ships instead of under the German rule, the engine room shall be measured and the deduction calculated according to the British rules; and that, in the event of any such Steamship possessing a certificate of tonnage or other national paper issued as aforesaid on or after the 20th day of June, 1888, denoting the net registered tonnage of such Ship under the British rules, the Ship shall be deemed to be of the tonnage so denoted thereon.

And whereas by Section 84 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, it is enacted that, whenever it appears to Her Majesty the Queen in Council that the tonnage regulations of that Act have been adopted by any foreign country, and are in force there, Her Majesty in Council may order that the ships of that country shall, without being remeasured in Her Majesty's dominions, be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry or other national papers in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes as the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of a British ship is deemed to be the tonnage of that ship:

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty in Council that the tonnage regulations of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, have been adopted by the Government of His Majesty the German Emperor, and such regulations are now in force in the German Empire, having come into operation on the 1st day of July, 1895:

And whereas there still are or may be ships belonging to the German Empire to which the herein-before recited Order of the 23rd July, 1889, may apply, and it is expedient not to revoke the same, but to let the said recited Order remain in force so long as there are any ships to which the same may so apply:

And whereas the provisions of Section one of the Rules Publication Act, 1893, have been complied with :

NOW, THEREFORE, Her Majesty (in pursuance and exercise of the powers herein-before mentioned) is bereby pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to direct that the merchant ships of the German Empire the measurement whereof shall, after the 1st day of July, 1895, have been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such ships, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry or other national papers in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes as the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of a British ship is deemed to be the tonnage of that ship.

　　I am to add that the Board of Trade propose shortly to revise their general Instructions to Surveyors with respect to Ships' Lights on the lines of the suggestions made by the Committee, and that copies of the revised Instructions will be forwarded to you as soon as they are published.

I have, etc.,

The Under Secretary of State,

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

HEREAS by an Order in Council made in pursuance of the Merchant Shipping Act Amendment.

　　　　Act, 1862, and dated the 11th day of August, 1884, Her Majesty, on the joint recommend- ation of the Admiralty and the Board of Trade, was pleased to direct that on and after the 1st day of September, 1884, the Regulations contained in the Schedule thereto should, so far as regards British Ships and Boats, be substituted for the Regulations contained in the First Schedule to an Order in Council made as aforesaid, and dated the 14th day of August, 1879.

And whereas by two Orders in Council made in pursuance of the said Act, and on such joint recommendation as aforesaid, and dated respectively the 30th day of December, 1884, and the 24th day of June, 1885, certain modifications and additions were made to the said Regulations contained in the Schedule to the said recited Order in Council of the 11th day of August, 1884, as regards British fishing vessels and boats.

Art. 3.-A seagoing steamship when under way shall carry--

(a) On or in front of the foremast, at a height above the hull of not less than 20 feet, and if the breadth of the ship exceeds 20 feet, then at a height above the hull not less than such breadth, a bright white light, so constructed as to show an uniform and unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 20 points of the compass, so fixed as to throw the light 10 points on each side of the ship, viz., from right ahead to two points abaft the beam on either side, and of such a character as to be visible on a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least five miles.

(d) The said green and red side lights shall be fitted with inboard screens projecting at least three feet forward from the light, so as to prevent these lights from being seen across the bow.

And whereas by another Order in Council, made in pursuance of the said Act and on such joint recommendation as aforesaid, and dated the 30th day of January, 1893, the said regulations contained in the Schedule to the said Order in Council of the 11th day of August, 1884, were further modified by the addition to the said recited Article 3 of the provisions contained in the Schedule to the said Order in Council now in recital and set out in the Schedule hereto.

And whereas the Admiralty and the Board of Trade have jointly recommended to Her Majesty that the said recited Order in Council of the 30th day of January, 1893, should be rescinded to the intent that the modifications and additions made to the said recited Article 3, and set out in the Schedule hereto, should no longer continue in operation.

And whereas Her Majesty was pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, on the 12th day of December, 1895, by a Provisional Order within the meaning of the Rules Publication Act, 1893, to rescind the said Order in Council of the 30th January, 1893.

C. L. PEEL.

SCHEDULE.

(e) To ensure that the red and green side lights shall show an uniform light from right ahead of the ship to two points abaft the beam on the port and starboard sides respectively and shall not show across the bow of the ship itself, the said lights must be fixed and the screens fitted so that the rays from the red and green lights shall cross the line of the ship's keel projected ahead of the ship at a reasonable distance ahead of the ship.

With regard to all vessels whose lights are inspected by the officers of the Board of Trade the red or green side light will not be deemed to be fixed and fitted in accordance with the Regulations unless it is so fixed and screened that a line drawn from the outside edge of the wick to the foremost end of the inboard screen of such light shall make an angle of 4 degrees or as near thereto as may be practicable with a line drawn parallel with the keel of the ship from the outside edge

WHEREAS the raising or

[27th March 1896.] HEREAS the raising or keeping of a standing army within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in time of peace, unless it be with the consent of Parliament, is against law:

And whereas it is adjudged necessary by Her Majesty and this present Parliament, that a body of forces should be continued for the safety of the United Kingdom and the defence of the possessions of Her Majesty's Crown, and that the whole number of such forces should consist of one hundred and fifty-six thousand one hundred and seventy-four, including those to be employed at the depots in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the training of recruits for service at home and abroad, but exclusive of the numbers actually serving within Her Majesty's Indian possessions:

And whereas it is also judged necessary for the safety of the United Kingdom, and the defence of the possessions of this realm, that a body of Royal Marine forces should be employed in Her Majesty's fleet and naval service, under the direction of the Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom, or the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral aforesaid:

And whereas the said marine forces may frequently be quartered or be on shore, or sent to do duty or be on board transport ships or vessels, merchant ships or vessels, or other ships or vessels, or they may be under other circumstances in which they will not be subject to the laws relating to the government of Her Majesty's forces by sea:

And whereas no man can be forejudged of life or limb, or subjected in time of peace to any kind of punishment within this realm by martial law, or in any other manner than by the judgment of his peers and according to the known and established laws of this realm; yet nevertheless it being requisite, for the retaining all the before-mentioned forces, and other persons subject to military law, in their duty, that an exact discipline be observed, and that persons belonging to the said forces who mutiny or stir up sedition, or desert Her Majesty's service, or are guilty of crimes and offences to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, be brought to a more exemplary and speedy punishment than the usual forms of the law will allow:

A.D. 1896.

The following Finding of the Marine Court of Enquiry into the stranding of the British steamship Menmuir, Official Number 77,120, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 21st May, 1896.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

We find that the British steamship Menmuir (77,120) of which HUGH CRAIG was Master, the number of whose Certificate of Competency as Master is 93,119, left Kobe on the 30th April bound for Hongkong, passing through the Inland Sea of Japan.

That having passed 10 foot Rock light at the entrance to Bingo Nada, and the night being fine, at midnight the Master, who had been on the bridge up to that time, went to his cabin on the lower bridge to lie down, trusting to well known orders of a general description that he would be called when the narrow waters of the Kurushima Strait were reached, and leaving the European Pilot, who had made the voyage repeatedly before in the Menmuir, in charge of the navigation.

The second officer was on watch and understood the general orders that the Captain was to be called when the ship got into narrow waters.

That the Pilot went to sleep in a chair on the bridge, leaving word with the second officer to call him at a certain time, and that he was so called, that he altered the course, and then again went to sleep.

That at about 2 a.m. the second officer became uneasy about the position of the ship and he called the Pilot. who expressed himself in a way that re-assured the second officer, but a quarter of an hour after this he again called him and then it was too late, for before the course could be altered or speed stopped the ship was on shore.

The casualty was directly due to the negligence of the Licensed European Pilot, who was called by the officer of the watch when the ship had run her distance from the time of the last observation; but, seeing the special circumstances of the case, where the ship was steering stem on to land with a prospective alteration of course of about eight points, which could only be made after the land ahead had been approached to within about two miles, the Court is of opinion that more definite orders should have been given with reference to calling the Master, and knowing that the speed was regular the Master should have left orders to be called at a certain hour.

The Court is further of opinion that, had the second officer, who was on watch, displayed a sufficient amount of interest in the navigation of the ship to cause him to consult the chart when doubts had arisen in his mind, he would probably now have been entitled to the credit of having averted the casualty.

The ship sustained no damage, and, with the exception of the above, appears to have been navigated with proper and seamanlike care.

The Court does not deal with the Certificates of the Master or Officers.

The Court is of opinion that the attention of the Licensing Authority at Kobe for Pilots for the Inland Sea might with advantage be called to the opinion they have expressed with regard to the negligence of the Pilot BISCHOF, who was in pilot charge of the Menmuir at the time of the casualty.

Given under our hands at Hongkong this 15th day of May, 1896.

At 11.30 a.-"A terrific typhoon from S. blows now at Bolinao the barometer showing a heavy fall since yesterday.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　At 11.25 a.-"The typhoon seems to have moved to the NE in the Pacific. The barometer has risen at Bolinao and on the S and SE coasts of China and fallen in the Gulf of Tongking." Forecast:-"On the S coast of China, light or moderate S to E winds; fine."

　　　On the 20th at 11.10 a.--"The typhoon appears to be approaching the SW coast of Japan. The barometer has fallen sharply at Nagasaki, risen elsewhere. Pressure conditions are now almost normal on the China Coast." Forecast:-"On S coast of China, light variable to moderate NE winds; fine."

O

　　　The typhoon indicated in the foregoing notices was preceded, during the early part of the month, by abnormally high pressure on the China coast and the prevalence of moderate to strong NE monsoon, the latter but slightly interrupted on two or three days by areas of low barometer traversing N China moving in an Easterly direction. In the China Sea, between 20° and 10° Lat., moderate or light NE and E breezes were the prevailing winds until the 5th when they became light and variable, and on the 7th we find light and moderate SW breezes had made their appearance in the South extending as far North as 15 Lat. These winds were however not maintained above 10° Lat. on the 9th light variable winds prevailing off the Annam coast on this day while moderate NE breezes still blew on the S coast of China. On the 10th light and moderate variable winds continued to prevail off the Annam coast while moderate NE winds probably blew to the northward of 16° Lat. On this day a

On this day a low pressure area was passing to the northward of Shanghai while high pressure of 30.4 inches lay over E Japan. On the 11th the northern depression was near Wladivostock. The barometer (approximate mean of the day 30.14) at Shanghai had risen quickly in rear of this depression, but had fallen in Japan although pressure was still high (30.2) at Tokio. At Hongkong we have 29.98 and at Manila 28.80 the mercury falling rather decidedly at the latter station on this day. In the China Sea in 15° Lat. and between 112° and 117° Long. the barometer read 29.90 at noon light NE breezes prevailing there; between 5° and 10° Lat. and 105° and 110° Long. light to moderate SW and W breezes were blowing, the barometer standing at about 29.92.

From the 9th to the 11th the belt of variables between the SW and NE winds seems to have been lying between 10° and 15° Lat. The centre of a typhoon is reported to have passed over Iloilo (10° 48', 122° 35′) at 1 a. on the 11th, and it is very probable that the disturbance had been formed in this belt of variable winds which possibly extended across the China Sea and into the Pacific. At least the appearance of the depression seems to have been coincident with the northerly advance of the SW

monsoon.

Observations made on board the steamships Sungkiang and Esmeralda, lying in Manila Bay show that light and variable breezes prevailed there on the 11th while the disturbance was passing some 200 miles to the southward. The S.S. Memnon, however, in 15°13′, 116°33′ at noon, and steering about S by E had the barometer falling during the evening with the wind increasing to a fresh breeze from NNE.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JUNE, 1898.

Next morning, the 12th, this vessel ran across the path in front of the centre. They experi- enced a strong N backing to W gale accompanied by very heavy rain, lightning and a high confused sea, the barometer falling to 29.59 at 11 a. The centre was probably situated in 12°00', 118°30′ at The weather was becoming squally with rain, the wind direction being NNW at a distance of from 350 to 500 miles to the W of this position; strong NE breezes prevailed in 19°, 114° and at Bolinao and Manila, light winds from E and SE.

noon.

On the 13th the centre was situated in 12°30', 117°15′ at noon. It had moved towards WNW at a speed of about 3 miles per hour only. The Mennon's position had been little changed since the pre- vious day and she continued to have a strong SW and SSW gale with terrific squalls and a very heavy sea at a distance of about 120 miles to the SSE of the centre. Oil bags were slung out fore and aft as the sea was sweeping all moveables from the decks. The barometer, 29.63, did not rise and from other observations it appears that the depression was becoming deeper. The Esmeralda and Sungkiang in Manila Bay, at a distance of about 230 miles to the ENE of the centre, experienced mode- rate and fresh E and SE breezes with rain and barometer 29.74. The bark Bittern, distant about 200 miles to the NW of the centre, had a strong N and NE gale with heavy rain squalls and high confused sea. Off the Annam coast fresh NNW breezes were experienced by several vessels at a distance of about 100 miles to the W of the centre, the barometer reading 29.81.

On the 14th the centre was in 13°, 116 at Noon. Its direction towards WNW had been main- tained but it had only traversed a distance of some 65 miles during the past 24 hours. The observations indicate further development since the previous day. On board the Memmon the barometer had fallen slightly although the centre of the disturbance was now at a greater distance, and in Manila the baro- meter did not rise. The Memnon, distant about 160 miles to the SE of the centre had 29.61, SSW 7, orq. The Esmeralda and Sungkiang in Manila Bay and distant 270 miles to the ENE of the centre, now had barometer 29.75 with fresh and strong SE breezes and rain. On board the Bittern, distant 170 miles to the NW of the centre, the wind decreased to a strong NE breeze during the morning but rose again to a strong N gale in the evening. Hard rain squalls and a heavy cross sea prevailed. The brig Kristina Nidsen reports a moderate NNW gale, barometer 29.64, falling. at a distance of 180 miles to the W of the centre and the ship Harland, distant 210 miles to the W by S of the centre, a strong NW galo. Off the Annai coast, at a distance of about 350 miles to the W of the centre, the barometer read 29.75 with moderate to strong NW breezes and high sea. On board the S.S. Propontis a bank of clouds stretching from N through E to SE was observed. The centre at the time bore ENE distant about 380 miles from the ship. At a distance of 360 miles to the NW by N of the centre, the S.S. Catherine Apear had 29.77, NE 6, rq. with decreasing swell. The S.S. Shantung, distant about 600 miles to the SW of the centre, had 29.85 SSW 4.

On the 15th at noon the centre was situated in 14°, 1153. It had traversed a distance of about 60 miles during the past 24 hours its direction becoming more and more northerly. The barometer, 29.64, had fallen decidedly at Bolino, the wind being now a fresh breeze from SE with rain. Pressure was also giving way on the China Coast and in W. Japan. We have Hongkong 29.84, Shanghai 30.03, Nagasaki 29.95 and Tokio 30.15.

A decisive decrease of pressure at Nagasaki seems to have been caused by another depression which appears to have been moving to the NE to the S. of Japan on the 15th and 16th. With reference to this disturbance the S.S. Valaren, leaving Nagasaki for Manila on the morning of the 15th, had a

Malacca, moderate NE gale backing to NW at midnight in 29° 35', 127° 53', the barometer having fallen from 30.05 at 8 a. to 29.72 (lowest point) at 8 p. As regards the typhoon on the China Sea this low pressure area in the Pacific to the S. of Japan probably determined its change of direction and its subsequent recurvature to the NE.

The most important observations in the China Sea on this day were those made on board the steamships Rosetti, Machew and Hemmon and on the sailing vessels Bittern, Kristina Nielsen and Harland. The Bittern, hove to, was nearest to the centre and at a distance of about 75 miles to the W by N. They had a whole gale from N at noon backing to NNW in the afternoon and to WNW early next morning with terrific rain squalls and high sea.

The Kristina Nielsen was hove to at a distance of about 110 miles to the W by S of the centre. A strong NW gale lacking to WNW next morning was experienced. The Larometer, 29.55, at noon remained practically steady. The Harland, hove to, reports a whole gale from NW throughout the day with terrific rain squalls and a bad cross sca the main dock being under water. At noon this vessel was distant about 150 miles to the WSW of the centre. The steamship Rosetta was at a distance of about 180 miles to the NW by W of the centre. They had a fresh increasing gale from NW at noon (bar. 29.57) accompanied by heavy rain qualls and vivid lightning. They run to the South but the barometer continued to fall. Late in the evening they steered their course to the northward again and had the wind changing to N by E still blowing a strong gale with almost steady barometer. The S.S. Machew, distant about 230 miles to the W of the centre at noon, had 29.68 and a fresh N to NNW gale with torrents of rain and a tremendous sea throughout the day The Menmon, distant 250 miles to the SE by S of the centre, had 29.69, SSW 6, org.

In the NW quadrant strong breezes from NNE and NNW, accompanied by rain, were experienced by several vessels at a distance of about 350 miles from the centre, the barometer reading about 29.82. At a distee of about 300 miles to the SW of the centre the barometer read 29.81 and fresh WSW and W breezes prevailed.

Squ

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH JUNE, 1896

481

On the 16th the centre was at noon situated in 15° 45', 117° 00′. The disturbance had traversed a distance of about 140 miles and had completely recurved during the past 24 hours its direction now being towards NE. Pressure had continued to give way in China and Japan and a sharp fall had taken place at Bolinao.

We have Tokio 29.86, Nagasaki 29.79, Shanghai 29.90, Hongkong 29.78 and Bolinao 29.54. At the latter station strong SE breezes increasing to a gale prevaileri with rain squalls. At sea the sailing vessels Bittern, Kristina Nielsen and Harland continued to experience fierce WNW to NW gales until the evening when the wind began to decrease. They were all to the SW by W of the centre, being distant 150, 200 and 250 miles respectively. On board the Kristina Nielsen the barometer read 29.58 at noon and it was now rising. The Macher had 29.65 NW 8 to the W of the centre at a distance of 270 miles, the Rosetta 29.58, N 8. orq, at a distance of 220 miles to the WNW of the centre. This vessel was proceeding northward, the wind was decreasing and the barometer rising. The S.S. Yuensang, steering southward and distant 350 miles to the X by E of the centre at noon, had 29.68 NE 6 od with high sea and S swell. The barometer was falling with increasing wind. The S.S. Sungkiang having left Manila for Hongkong on the evening of the 15th encountered an increasing gale from SE with rapidly falling harometer on the morning of the 16th. At noon on this day they had 29.45, S/E 9, orq. The vessel was then about 140 miles E by S of the centre. At 7.40 a. the vessel's head had been turned to S. Strong breezes to fresh NNW gales blew in the W quadrant at 400 miles distance from the centre. The Memnon, 350 miles S of the centre, had 29.76, SW 3 or.

On the 17th the centre was at noon situated in 17. 119°. It had moved about 140 miles towards NE by E since the previous day. Pressure had continued to give way over China and Japan and the extreme North.

　　　　　　　　A depression of considerable depth was lying near Wladivostock where the barometer read 29.35. Tokio had 29.76, Nagasaki 29.79, Shanghai 29.79, Hongkong 29.68, Manila 29.65 and Bolinao 29.33. At Bolinao the wind increased to typhoon force from SE on the morning of this day, the lowest barometer reading 29.24 occurring at 7 a. Typhoon force was experienced until after 4 p., the direction gradually veering to WSW 10 at 6 p., the barometer having then risen to 29.55. The S.S. Yuensang was to the N of the centre. She was steering southward but as the barometer fell quickly with the wind NE 8 the vessel was steered to the N at 5.20 a. The lowest barometer reading, 29.24. occurred between 6 a. and 9 a. At noon they had 29.25. NE 10, org, to the NW by N of the centre distant 70 miles. As the barometer (29.29) was rising at 2 p. they headed the vessel to the South again with the wind backing to N and NW. In this instance, as the observatious made on board indicated that the disturbance was moving towards some point of East, the weather would almost certainly have improved sooner had the vessel been steered to SW rather than S. They con- tinued to experience a strong NW gale during the evening with quickly rising barometer. Mostly moderate NW breezes prevailed off the Annam coast. The Machee 270 miles W by S of the centre had 29.70. WNW 7, moderating. Fresh to strong NW breezes prevailed 300 miles to the SW of the centre and the Sungkiang had 29.55, SW 8, or, at 150 miles distance to the South of the centre.

If we compare the weather experienced on board the Yuensang with that experienced at Bolinao we see that the strongest winds and steepest gradients were found to the S. of the centre, this being the right-hand semicircle as the disturbance was moving to the NE. The barometer was almost as low in Hongkong as at Manila, the former station being distant about 450 miles to the NW of the centre at noon, while the latter station was distant to the SE about 180 miles only.

On the 18th the centre was probably situated in about 203, 123° at noon. It had continued to move towards NE but with greatly increased speed, the average for the 24 hours being at the rate of 14 miles per hour. The barometer had risen in Japan, fallen about the Formosa Channel was almost steady at Hongkong and had risen much at Bolinao. We have Tokio 29 85, Nagasaki 29.85, Shanghai 29.81, Amoy 29.63, Hongkong 29.67 and Bolinao 29.73. Fresh NNE breezes with rain blew at Tamsui (N. Formosa); and at Anping (S. Formosa) from observations made and kindly furnished by Mr. A. W. BAIN. we know that strong NE winds amounting to a gale at times, blew on the morning of the 18th the harometer having fallen during the past two of three days. The barometer rose and the wind subsided however during the evening. At Bolinao moderate W breezes blew on this day. The disturbance was encountered to the Fast of the Bashice Channel by the S.S. Malacca. This vessel was on a voyage from Nagasaki to Manila. On the evening of the 17th and morning of the 18th they had the barometer falling rapidly with moderate or fresh winds from S.E. They had a high southerly swell and the appearance of the weather was threatening. At 8 a. they stood to the Eastward the barometer reading 29.37 with SSE 4 or. Later they stecored N; the weather continued very squally with continuous rain. The following observations were male: noon 21° 25', 123° 40', 29.29 SE/S 4 rq: 1 p. 29.28 E/N 3 rq. 2 p. 29.28 N 3 rq: 3 p. 29 27 N/W 4 or; 4 p. 29.25 NNW 5 c. weather clearing somewhat, decreasing sea; 5 p. 29.27 NW/N_5_c: 6 p. 29.28 NW 6, wind increasing; 8 p. 29.34 NW/W 8 o, proceeded on course WSW, full speed; 10 29.44 NW 8; midt. 29.49 NW/W 8 oq; 19th 2 a. 29.52 W 9 oy: 8 a. 29.59, W/S 7, 6; noon 20° 35′ 122° 04′, 29.67 W/N 7 decreasing, fine. These observations show that the vessel passed round the northern and western edge of the central area of a typhoon on the afternoon of the 13th and that this central area was at the time a large one in which only moderate breezes blew. The following remark appears in the ship's log:-"On determining the position of the ship at noon on the 20th the ship was found to have been set to the northward 25 miles although during the last 16 hours of NW and W wind her leeway had been 14 knots per hour."

On the 19th the centre may have been situated in about 24°, 129°. The barometer was rising on the SE coast of China and falling at Nagasaki. We have Tokio 29.92, Nagasaki 29.77, Shanghai 29.82, Amoy 29.75, Hongkong 29.77 and Bolinao 29.79. At Tamsui the wind had backed to NNW

of force 3.

On the 20th the barometer had again fallen at Nagasaki but had risen considerably at Tokio and in S China. We have Tokio 30.11. Nagasaki 29.70, Shanghai 29.87. Amoy 29.83, Hongkong 29.84 and Bolinao 29.83. At Nagasaki strong N breezes prevailed; gradients were generally steep over Japan and bad weather prevailed on the coast. The observations are insufficient to determine the position of the centre with accuracy but it may have been situated near 30°, 131° at noon.

On the 21st the centre seems to have passed to the North of Nagasaki during the morning. Its direction had probably been changed to NNW owing to a considerable rise of the barometer over E Japan, where pressure had become high. We have Tokio 30.20, Nagasaki 29.64. Shanghai 29.80, Amoy 29.87, Hongkong 29.87 and Bolinao 29.84. The S.S. Ceylon near Shimonoseki Straits had the barometer falling to 29.45 at 4 a. a fierce NNE veering to ESE gale being experienced during the morning. With rising barometer the wind, however, backed to NE again and decreased. Further information is required to complete this portion of the track with accuracy. Generally the observations indicate that the disturbance was filling up.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to further amend the Law relating to Widows' and Orphans' Pensions.

BE

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof,

as follows:-

1. Section 6 of Ordinance No. 28 of 1895 is hereby repealed.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Bill is to carry out instructions which have been received from the Secretary of State for the repeal of section 6 of Ordinance 28 of 1895.

That section was originally enacted because section 4 of Ordinance 18 of 1891 was thought to be somewhat ambi- guous as regards the mode of calculating the pension due to the widow of an officer who under certain circumstances leaves the Service and ceases to contribute to the fund. It has, however, now been pointed out by the Secretary of State that the basis of the computation prescribed in section 4 of Ordinance 18 of 1891 is the same as that prescribed in section 18 of Ordinance 30 of 1890, and that the process is explained in paragraphs 5 to 7 of the Illustrations of the methods of assessing the Pensions contained in schedule B of the latter Ordinance.

The Secretary of State has also pointed out that, if section 6 of Ordinance 28 of 1895 were left in force, it might possibly happen that an officer, who ceased to con- tribute under the circumstances described in section 4 of Ordinance 18 of 1891, might be treated more favourably than an officer who is transferred to another Colony.

Under the above circumstances the Secretary of State has issued instructions that section 6 of Ordinance 28 of 1895 should be repealed.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to make better provision for the Sale of Food and Drugs in a pure state.

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the

Be

as follows:-

the Gof the Legislative Council thereof,

1. This Ordinance may be cited as The Sale of Food and Drugs Ordinance, 1896.

2. The term food, when used in this Ordinance, shall include every food or article used for food or drink by man, other than drugs or water.

The term drug, when used in this Ordinance, shall include medicine for internal or external use.

3. No person shall mix, colour, stain, or powder, or order or permit any other person to mix, colour, stain, or powder, any article of food with any ingredient or material so as to render the article injurious to health, with intent that the same may be sold in that state, and no person shall sell any such article so mixed, coloured, stained, or powdered, under a penalty in each case, upon summary conviction before a Magistrate, not exceeding the sum of five hundred dollars or imprisonment for a period not exceeding six months with or without hard labour.

4. No person shall mix, colour, stain, or powder, or order or permit any other person to mix, colour, stain, or powder, any drug with any ingredient or material so as to affect injuriously the quality or potency of such drug, with intent that the same may be sold in that state, and no person shall sell any such drug so mixed, coloured, stained, or powdered, under the same penalty in each case as pre- scribed in the preceding section of this Ordinance.

5. Provided that no person shall be liable to be con- victed under either of the two last foregoing sections of this Ordinance in respect of the sale of any article of food, or of any drug, if he shows to the satisfaction of the Magistrate before whom he is charged that he did not. know of the article of food or drug sold by him being so mixed, colour, stained, or powdered as in either of those sections mentioned, and that he could not with reasonable diligence have obtained that knowledge.

6. No person shall sell to the prejudice of the purchaser any article of food or any drug which is not of the nature, substance, or quality of the article demanded by such pur- chaser, under a penalty, upon summary conviction before a Magistrate, not exceeding two hundred dollars and in default of payment of the said penalty imprisonment for a period not exceeding three months with or without hard labour; provided that an offence shall not be deemed to be committed under this section in the following cases; that is to say :-

(1) Where any matter or ingredient not injurious to health has been added to the food or drug because the same is required for the production or preparation thereof as an article of com- merce, in a state fit for carriage or consump- tion, and not fraudulently to increase the bulk, weight, or measure of the food or drug, or conceal the inferior quality thereof;

(2) Where the drug or food is a proprietary medicine, or is the subject of a patent in force, and is supplied in the state required by the specifica- tion of the patent ;

(3) Where the food or drug is unavoidably mixed with some extraneous matter in the process of col- lection or preparation.

7. In any prosecution under the provisions of this Ordinance for selling to the prejudice of the purchaser any article of food or any drug which is not of the nature, substance, and quality of the article demanded by such purchaser, it shall be no defence to any such prosecution to allege that the purchaser, having bought only for analysis, was not prejudiced by such sale. Neither shall it be a good defence to prove that the article of food or drug in question, though defective in nature or in sub- stance or in quality, was not defective in all these respects.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

8. No person shall sell any compound article of food or compounded drug which is not composed of ingredients in accordance with the demand of the purchaser, under a penalty, upon summary conviction before a Magistrate, not exceeding two hundred dollars and in default of pay- ment thereof imprisonment for a period not excceding three months with or without hard labour.

9. Provided that no person shall be guilty of any such offence as aforesaid in respect of the sale of an article of food or a drug mixed with any matter or ingredient not injurious to health, and not intended to fraudulently increase its bulk, weight, or measure, or conceal its in ferior quality, if at the time of delivering such article or drug he shall supply to the person receiving the same a notice, by a label distinctly and legibly written or printed on or with the article or drug, to the effect that the same is mixed.

10. No person shall, with the intent that the same may be sold in its altered state without notice, abstract from an article of food any part of it so as to affect injuriously its quality, substance, or nature, and no person shall sell any article so altered without making disclosure of the altera- tion, under a penalty in each case, upon summary con- viction before a Magistrate, of two hundred dollars and in default of payment of the said penalty imprisonment for a period not exceeding three months with or without hard labour. Any person selling "skimmed milk" to a pur- chaser demanding "milk" shall be liable to the same penalty.

11. Any purchaser or seller of an article of food or of a drug shall be entitled, upon payment of the sum of five dollars to the Government analyst or to any analyst appointed by the Governor for the purposes of this Ordinance, to have such article analyzed by such analyst, and to receive from him a certificate of the result of his analysis.

12. Any medical officer of health, inspector of nuisances, or inspector of weights and measures, or any inspector of a market, or any police constable may, at the cost of the Government, procure any sample of food or drugs, and, if he suspect the same to have been sold to him contrary to any provision of this Ordinance, shall submit the same to be analysed by the Government analyst or by some analyst appointed by the Governor for the purposes of this Ordi- nance, and such analyst shall, upon receiving payment as is provided in the last section, with all convenient speed analyse the same, and shall give a certificate to such officer, wherein he shall specify the result of the analysis.

13. Any person purchasing any article with the intention of submitting the same to analysis shall, after the purchase shall have been completed, forthwith notify to the seller or his agent selling the article his intention to have the same analysed by the Government analyst or by some other analyst appointed by the Governor for the purposes of this Ordinance, and shall offer to divide the article into three parts to be then and there separated, and each part to be marked and sealed or fastened up in such manner as its nature will permit, and shall, if required to do so, proceed accordingly, and shall deliver one of such parts to the seller or his agent.

He shall afterwards retain one of the said parts for future comparison and submit the third part, if he deems it right to have the article analysed, to the analyst.

14.

(2) Here insert the name of the person delivering the sample.

(3) When the article cannot be conveniently weighed, this passage may be erased, or the blank may be left unfilled.

(4) Here the analyst may insert at his discretion his opinion as to whether the mixture (if any) was for the purpose of rendering the article potable, or palatable, or of preserving it, or of improving the appearance, or was unavoidable, and may state whether in excess of what is ordinary, or otherwise, or whether the ingredient or materials mixed are or are not injurious to health.

In the case of a certificate regarding milk, butter, or any article liable to decom- position, the analyst shall specially report whether any change had taken place in the constitution of the article that would interfere with the analysis.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Ordinance is to introduce into this Colony such of the provisions of the English Sale of Food and Drugs Acts 1875 and 1879 as are applicable to the local circumstances of the Colony.

The only laws in force in this Colony in relation to this subject are sections 2 and 5 of Ordinance 21 of 1886 and sections 4 and 5 of Ordinance 23 of 1890, and it seems advisable that the English law upon this important subject should be introduced in Hongkong, in order that an accused person may have the benefit of the following safeguards provided by the Home Act, namely:-

(1) The delivery to the seller or his agent of a portion of the sample of an article purchased for analysis (section 13);

(2) The provision that the Defendant or his wife may be called as a witness (section 13); and (3) The provisions that the prosecution shall take proceedings within a reasonable time, that the accused shall be furnished with full particulars of the offence or offences charged and with the name of the prosecutor, and that the summons against the defendant shall not be returnable in less than seven days from the date of service (section 28).

(1.) In an Action for damage by collision: a. (The Atlantic.")

PETITION.

In the Supreme Court of Hongkong, Admiralty Jurisdiction. [Title of Action.]

Writ issued

18

1. Shortly before 7 p.m. on the 31st of January, 1878, the brig "Anthes," of 234 tons register, of which the Plaintiff, George De Garis, was then owner, whilst on a voyage from Cardiff to Granville, in France, laden with coals, and manned with a crew of nine hauds, all told, was about fifteen miles S.E. E. from the Lizard Light.

2. The wind at that time Was about E. N. E., a moderate breeze, the weather was fine, but slightly hazy, and the tide was about slack water, and of little force. The "Anthes" was sailing under all plain sail, close hauled on the port tack, heading about S.E. and proceeding through the water at the rate of about five knots per hour. Her proper regulation side sailing lights were duly placed and exhibited and burning brightly, and a good look-out was being kept on board of her.

3. At that time those on board the "Anthes" observed the red light of a sailing vessel, which proved to be the "Atlantic," at the distance of about from one mile and a half to two miles from the " Anthes," and bearing about one point on her port bow. The "Anthes" was kept close hauled by the wind on the port tack.

　　　　　The " Atlantic" exhibited her green light and shut in her red light, and drew a little on to the starboard bow of the "Anthes," and she was then seen to be approaching and causing immediate The helm of the "Anthes" was danger of collision. thereupon put hard down, but the "Atlantic," although loudly hailed from the "Authes," ran against and with her stem and starboard bow struck the starboard quarter of the "Anthes abaft the main rigging, and did her so much damage that the "Anthes" soon afterwards sank, and was with her cargo wholly lost, and four of her hands were drowned.

‧

4. There was no proper look-out kept on board the

"Atlantic."

5. Those on board the Atlantic" improperly neglected to take in due time proper measures for avoiding a collision with the "Anthes."

6. The helm of the "Atlantic" was ported at an improper time.

7. The said collision, and the damages and losses cou- sequent thereon, were occasioned by the negligent and improper navigation of those on board the "Atlantic."

The Plaintiff claims-

1. A declaration that he is entitled to the damage

proceeded for.

2. The condemnation of the Defendants [and their

bail] in such damage and in costs.

3. To have an account taken of such damage with the

assistance of merchants.

4. Such further or other relief as the nature of the case

may require.

[Title of Action.]

1. The Defendants are the owners of the Swedish barque Atlantic," of 988 tons register, carrying a crew of nineteen hands all told, and at the time of the circumstances herein- after stated bound on a voyage to Cardiff.

2. A little before 6.30 p.m., of the 31st of January, 1878, the "Atlantic" was about fifteen miles S.E. by S. of the Lizard. The wind was E.N.E. The weather was hazy,

572

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

The "Atlantic," under foresail, fore and main topsails, main topgallant sail, and jib, was heading about W.S.W., making from five to six knots an hour with her regulation lights duly exhibited and burning, and a good look-out being kept on board her.

3. In these circumstances, the red lights of two vessels were observed pretty close together, about half a mile off, and from two to three points on the starboard bow. The helm of the "Atlantic" was put to port in order to pass on the port sides of these vessels. One, however, of the vessels, which was the "Anthes," altered her course, and exhibited her green light, and caused danger of collision. The helm of the Atlantic" was then ordered to be steadied, but before this order could be completed was put hard-a-port. The "Anthes," with her starboard side by the main rigging, struck the stem of the Atlantic and shortly afterwards sank, her master and four of her crew being saved by the

"Atlantic.'

6. The helm of the "Anthes" was improperly starboarded. 7. The collision was caused by one or both of the things stated in the fifth and sixth paragraphs hereof, or otherwise by the negligence of the Plaintiffs, or of those on board the "Anthes."

8. The collision was not caused or contributed to by the Defendants, or by any of those on board the "Atlantic."

And by way of Counter-claim, the Defendants say-

They have suffered great damage by reason of the

Writ issued

[Title of Action.]

1. At about 2 a.m. on the 4th day of September, 1876, the steamship "Sarpedon," of 1,556 tons register, and 225 horse power, of which the Plaintiffs were owners, whilst on a voyage from Shanghai, and other ports to London, with a cargo of tea and other goods, was about 80 miles south-west of Ushaut.

+

2. The wind at such time was about south-west, the weather was a little hazy and occasionally slightly thick, and the Sarpedon" was under steam and sail, steering north-east, and proceeding at the rate of about ten knots per hour.

Her proper regulation masthead and side lights were duly exhibited and burning brightly, and a good look- out was being kept.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

3. At such time the masthead and red lights of a steam vessel, which proved to be the above-named vessel "Julia David," were seen at the distance of about two miles from and ahead of the "Sarpedon," but a little on her port bow. The helm of the "Sarpedon" was ported and hard-a-ported, but the "Julia David" opened her green light to the "Sarpedon," and although the engines of the "Sarpedon" were immediately stopped, and her steam whistle was blown, the, "Julia David" with her stem struck the "Sarpedon" on her port side, abreast of her red light, and did her so much damage that her master and crew were compelled to abandon her, and she was lost with her cargo. The "Julia David" went away without rendering assistance to those on board the "Sarpedon," and without answering signals which were made by them for assistance.

4. Those on board the "Julia David" neglected to keep a proper look-out.

5. Those on board the "Julia David" neglected to duly port the helm of the "Julia David."

6. The helm of the "Julia David" was improperly star- boarded.

7. The "Julia David" did not duly observe and comply with the provisions of Article 16 of the "Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea."

8. The said collision was occasioned by the improper and negligent navigation of the "Julia David."

The Plaintiffs claim---

1. A declaration that they are entitled to the damage proceeded for, and the condemnation of the said steamship "Julia David," and the Defendants therein, and in costs.

2. To have an account taken of such damage with the

assistance of merchants.

3. Such further and other relief as the nature of the

casc may require.

ANSWER AND COUNTER-CLAIM.

In the Supreme Court of Hongkong, Admiralty Jurisdiction.

[Title of Action.]

1. The Defendants are the owners of the Belgian screw steamship "Julia David," of about 1,274 tons register, and worked by engines of 140 horse power nominal, with a crew of thirty hands, which left Havre on the 2nd of September, 1876, with a general cargo, bound to Alicante and other ports in the Mediterranean.

2. About 2.45 am. of the 4th of September, 1876, the "Julia David," in the course of her said voyage, was in the Bay of Biscay. The weather was thick with a driz- zling rain, and banks of fog and a stiff breeze blowing from S.S.W., with a good deal of sea. The "Julia David," under steam alone, was steering S.S.W. W. by bridge steering compass, or S.W. W. magnetic, and was making about five knots an hour. Her regulation lights were duly exhibited and burning brightly, and a good look-out was being kept on board her.

"

3. In the circumstances aforesaid those on board the "Julia David" saw the green and masthead lights of a steamship, the "Sarpedon," about two miles off, and about two points on the starboard bow. The "Julia David was kept on her course. But after a short time the "Sarpedon " opened her red light and caused danger of collision. The helm of the "Julia David" was thereupon put hard a-port, and her engines stopped and almost immediately reversed full speed, but, nevertheless, the "Sarpedon" came into collision with the Julia David," striking with the port side her stem and port bow, and doing her considerable damage.

???

4. The vessels separated immediately. The engines of the "Julia David" were then stopped, and her pumps sounded. She was making much water, and it was found necessary to turn her head away from the wind and sea. As soon as it could be done without great danger, she was steamed in the direction in which those on board her

573

574

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

66

believed the "Sarpedon to be, but when day broke and no traces of the Sarpedon "could be discovered, the search was given up, and the "Julia David," being in a very disabled state, made her way to a port of refuge.

5. Save as herein-before appears, the several statements contained in the Petition are denied.

6. A good look-out was not kept on board the "Sarpedon." 7. The helm of the "Sarpedon" was improperly ported. 8. Those on board the "Sarpedon " improperly neglected or omitted to keep her on her course.

9. Those on board the "Sarpedon" did not observe the provisions of Article 16 of the "Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea."

10. The collision was occasioned by some or all of the matters and things alleged in the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th paragraphs hereof, or otherwise by the default of the

Sarpedou," or these on board her.

66

11. No blame in respect of the collision is attributable to the "Julia David" or to any of those on board her.

And by way of counter-claim the Defendants say that the collision caused great damage to the "Julia David."

And they claim---

(1) The condemnation of the Plaintiffs [and their bail]

in the damage caused to the Julia David and in the costs of this action.

(2) To have an account taken of such damage with

the assistance of merchants.

(3) Such further and other relief as the nature of the

18

A.B. &c., Plaintiffs.

a. (The "Crosby.")

PETITION.

In the Supreme Court of Hongkong, Admiralty Jurisdiction.

[Title of Action.]

Writ issued

18

1. The "Asia" is an iron screw steam ship of 902 tons net register tonnage, fitted with engines of 120 horse-power nominal, is of the value of $150,000 and was at the time of the services hereinafter stated manned with a crew of twenty-three hands under the command of George Hook Bawn, her master.

2. At about 9 a.m. on the 29th of April, 1877, while the "Asia"--which was in ballast proceeding on a voyage to Nikolaev to load a cargo of grain-was between Odessa and Ochakov, those on board her saw a steam ship ashore on a bank situated about ten miles to the westward of Ochakov. The "Asia" immediately steamed in the direc- tion of the distressed vessel which made signals for assist-

ance.

3. On nearing the distressed vessel, which proved to be the "Crosby," one of the "Asia's" boats was sent to the "Crosby," in charge of the second mate of the "Asia," and subsequently the master of the "Crosby" boarded the "Asia," and at the request of the master of the "Crosby" the master of the "Asia" agreed to endeavour to tow the "Crosby" afloat.

66

4. The Crosby" at this time was fast aground, and was lying with her head about N.N.W.

""

39

5. The master of the "Asia having ascertained from the master of the " "Crosby the direction in which the Crosby" had got upon the bank, the "Asia" steamed up on the starboard side of the "Crosby and was lashed to her.

19

L

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

27

6. The "Asia" then set on ahead and attempted to tow the "

Crosby afloat, and so continued towing without effect until the hawser which belonged to the "Asia" broke.

7. The masters of the two vessels being then both agreed in opinion that it would be necessary to lighten the "Crosby" before she could be got afloat, it was arranged that the cargo from the "Crosby should be taken on board the "Asia."

**

8. The "Asia" was again secured alongside the "Crosby' and the hatches being taken off cargo was then discharged from the "Crosby" into the "Asia," and this operation was continued until about 6 p.m., by which time about 100 tons of such cargo had been so discharged.

9. When this had been done both vessels used their steam, and the "Asia" tried again to get the "Crosby off, but without success. The "Asia" then towed with a hawser ahead of the "Crosby," and succeeded in getting her afloat, upon which the "Crosby" steained to an anchorage and then brought up.

10. The "Asia" steamed after the "Crosby" and again hauled alongside of her and commenced putting the tran- shipped cargo again on board the "Crosby," and continued doing so until about 6 a.m. of the 30th of April, by which time the operation was completed, and the "Crosby" and her cargo being in safety the "Asia" proceeded on her

voyage.

11. By the services of the Plaintiffs the "Crosby" and her cargo were rescued from a very dangerous and critical position, as in the event of bad weather coming on whilst she lay aground she would have been in very great danger of being lost with her cargo.

12. The "Asia encountered some risk in being lashed alongside the "Crosby," and she ran risk of also getting aground and of losing her charter, the blockade of the port of Nikolaev being at the time imminent.

13. The value of the hawser of the "Asia" broken as herein stated was $400.

14. The "Crosby" is an iron screw steam ship of 1, ,118 tous net (1,498 gross) register tonnage. As salved the Crosby and her cargo and freight have been agreed for the purposes of this action at the value of $41,092.

The Plaintiffs claim-

1. Such an amount of salvage, regard being had to the said agreement, as the Court may think fit to award.

2. The condemnation of the Defendants [and their

bail] in the salvage and in costs.

3. Such further and other relief as the case may

Writ issued

1. The "Emu" is a steam tug belonging to the Whitby Steam Boat Company, of six tons register, with engines of 40 horse power nominal, and was at the time of the circum- stances hereinafter stated manned by a crew of five hands.

2. Just before midnight on the 22nd of July, 1876, when the "Emu" was lying in Whitby harbour, her master was informed that a screw steamship was ashore on Kettleness Point. He at once got up steam, but was not able, owing to the tide, to leave the harbour till about 1.45 a.m. of the 23rd.

3. About 2 a.m. the "Emu" reached the screw steamship. which was the "Newcastle," which was fast upon the rocks, with a kedge and warp out. The wind was about N., blowing fresh; the sea was smooth, but ri?ing; the tide was flood.

"

4. The master of the "Emu" offered his services, which were at first declined by the master of the "Newcastle ; shortly afterwards the kedge warp broke and the "New- castle" swung square upon the land and more upon the rocks. The master of the "Newcastle" then asked the master of the "Emu" to tow him off, and after some con- versation it was agreed that the remuneration should be settled on shore.

5. About 3 a.m. those on board the "Emu" got a rope

from the "Newcastle" on board, and began to tow.

　　　　　After some towing this rope broke. The tow line of the "Newcastle" was then got on board the "Emu," and the "Emu" kept towing and twisting the " Newcastle," but was unable to get her off till about 5 a.m., when it was near high water. The master of the "Emu" then saw that it was necessary to try a click or jerk in order to get the "Newcastle" off, and accordingly, at the risk of straining his vessel, he gave a strong click in a northerly direction, and got the "New- castle" off.

6. The master of the "Emu" then asked if the "New- castle" was making water, and was told a little only, bur as he saw that the hands were at the pumps he kept the "Emu" by the "Newcastle" until she was abreast of Whitby. He then inquired again if any assistance was wanted, and being told that the "Newcastle" was all right, and should proceed on her voyage, he steamed the "Emu" back into Whitby harbour about 7 a.m.

7. About 8 a.m. a gale from N.E., which continued all that day and the next, came on to blow with a high sen. If the "Newcastle" had not been got off before the gale came on she would have gone to pieces on the rocks.

8. By the services aforesaid the "Newcastle" and her cargo and the lives of those on board her were saved from total loss.

9. The "Newcastle" is a screw steamship of 211 tons register, and was bound from Newcastle to Hull with a general cargo and 19 passengers. The value of the "New- castle," her cargo and freight, including passage money, are as follows:

The "Newcastle," $30,000; her cargo, $15,000; freight and passage money, $650 ;-in all, $45,650.

The Plaintiffs claim

1. The condemnation of the Defendants [and their bail] in such an amount of salvage remuneration

as to the Court may seem just, and in the costs of this action.

2. The tide at this time was the first quarter ebb, the weather was calm, and the sea was smooth, and the "New- castle," after grounding as aforesaid, sat upright and lay quite still, heading about E.S.E. Efforts were then made to get the "Newcastle" again afloat by working her engines, but it was found that this could not be done in the then state of the tide.

3. At about 10 p.m. of the said day a kedge, with a

attached to it, was carried out from the warp

Several cobles came to the "New- castle" from Runswick, and the men in them offered their assistance, but their services, not being required, were declined.

4. At about 2 a.m. of the following morning the steam tug Emu," whose owners, master, and crew

　　　　　　　　　　　　are the Plaintiffs in this action, came to the "Newcastle" and offered assistance, which was also declined.

5. The flood tide was then making, and by about 2.45 a.m. the "Newcastle" had floated forward, and attempts were made to get the stern of the "Newcastle" also afloat, and the warp attached to the aforesaid kedge was attempted to be hove in, but the said warp having parted, the master of the "Newcastle" endeavoured ineffectually to make an agreement with the master of the "Emu" to assist in getting the "Newcastle" afloat, and at about 3 a.m. a rope was given to the "Emu" from the port bow of the "New- castle" and directions were given to the "Emu" to keep the head of the "Newcastle" to the eastward in the same way as it had been kept by the aforesaid kedge anchor and warp. The "Emu" then set ahead and almost immediately the said rope was broken. A coir hawser was thereupon given to the "Emu" and those on board her were directed not to put any strain on it, but to keep the "Emu" pad- dling ahead sufficiently to steady the head of the "New- castle," and to keep her head to the eastward. This the "Emu" did and continued to do until about 4.45 a.m., when the "Newcastle," by means of her own engines, was moved off from the ground, and the "Emu" was brought broad on the port bow of the "Newcastle," and the

66 Emu" had to stop towing and to shift the rope from her port bollard, where it was fast to her towing hook, but the Newcastle" continuing to go ahead, the said rope had to be let go on board the "Emu" and it was then hauled in on board the "Newcastle." The "Newcastle," under her own steam, then commenced proceeding south, the wind at the time being N.N.W. and light, and the weather fine. It was afterwards ascertained that the "Newcastle making a little water in her afterhold, and her hand pumps were then worked, and they kept the "Newcastle" free.

An Ordinance to amend The Marriage

BE the forthe Legislative Council thereof,

as follows:--

1. This Ordinance may be cited as The Marriage Law Amendment Ordinance, 1896, and shall be read with and construed as one Ordinance with Ordinance 14 of 1875.

2. Section 39 of Ordinance 14 of 1875 is hereby repealed and in lieu thereof the following figures and words are substituted :-

39. This Ordinance shall apply to all marriages where neither of the parties has an undivorced hus- band or wife living, except marriages between persons neither of whom professes the Christian religion duly celebrated according to the per- sonal law and religion of the parties; and the words "husband" and "wife" as used in this section shall include persons married according to their personal law and religion.

3. In the event of two parties wishing to contract a marriage before the Registrar General under the provisions of section 24 of Ordinance 14 of 1875, they shall each of them, before being permitted to do so, sign a written. declaration in the presence of the Registrar General, which he shall witness, in the form set out in the Schedule to this Ordinance. Such declaration shall, if necessary, be interpreted to both or either of the parties in their own language in the presence of the Registrar General, and the person interpreting such declaration shall subscribe his name to it as interpreter.

Objects and Reasons.

Section 39 of The Marriage Ordinance, 1875, (14 of 1875) enacts that "This Ordinance shall apply to all marriages where one or both the parties profess the Christian religion."

The object of the present Bill is to substitute a new section for the above in order to enable parties, who desire to do so, to enter into a valid civil marriage before the Registrar General, even though neither of such parties professes the Christian religion.

The power of contracting such a civil marriage can, however, only be exercised by parties neither of whom has a husband or wife living, and the words "husband" and "wife" are defined to include persons married according to their personal law and religion.

Such a civil marriage is absolutely valid and binding upon the parties (see section 30 of Ordinance 14 of 1875), and either of the parties marrying again during the life- time of the other would be guilty of bigamy.

598

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

The words, "except marriages between parties neither of whom professes the Christian religion duly celebrated according to the personal law and religion of the parties," have been inserted in section 2, in order to prevent such marriages from being invalidated under the provisions of section 29 of Ordinance 14 of 1875, which enacts (inter alia) as follows:-

"A marriage shall be null and void if both parties knowingly and wilfully acquiesce in its celebra- tion in any place other than the office of the Registrar General or a licensed place of worship (except when authorised by special licence), or under a false name or names, or without certifi- cate of notice or licence duly issued, or by a person not being a competent minister, or the Registrar General or his deputy."

(Despatch from the Governor to the Secretary of State.)

MY LORD MARQUESS,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 5th June, 1894.

I have the honour to transmit to you a Petition which has been forwarded to me by the Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD and which is addressed to the House of Commons and prays for an amendment of the constitution of the Crown Colony of Hongkong.

I have recently granted Mr. WHITEHEAD Six months' leave of absence from the Legislative Council, and he is not only the prime mover in this Petition but the bearer of it to England. I think I am justified in saying that it owes its origin principally to the imposition upon the taxpayers, some three years ago, of the additional Military Contribution of ￡20,000 a year.

I enclose for your Lordship's consideration a report on this document by Mr. J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, the Acting Colonial Secretary, and also communi- cations from the Honourable J. J. KESWICK, M.L.C., Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Honourable E. R. BELILIOS, M.L.C., C.M.G., in which these gentlemen express their decided opinion that the prayer of the Petition should not be granted.

These papers will be of material assistance in enabling your Lordship to arrive at a decision upon the subject.

The second clause of the Petition seems to me to supply an answer to the several requests of the Petitioners.

It is impossible that Hongkong can have been otherwise than well governed if it has risen to the prosperous condition which the Petitioners claim for it, and that it has reached that pitch of prosperity under the "Crown Colony System is indisputable.

I concur generally in the criticisms of Mr. STEWART LOCKHART. I believe that the Chinese, who are indifferently represented, and the Portuguese, who are not repre- sented at all, if a plebiscite could be taken, would be in favour of a pure autocracy; the Americans need not be counted, and the "Britishers" with the exception of a few unquiet spirits" would be satisfied to let matters remain as they are. That they are capable of improvement nevertheless, so far as "Municipal" questions are concerned, I admit. During twenty years, however, of Colonial Government, I have not yet been fortunate enough to come in contact with a Mayor and Council, excepting that perhaps of the comparatively small town of San Fernando in

Trinidad, which was capable of dealing with, and had sufficient time to deal with, purely local affairs, and even in that solitary case the Municipal Body was gene- rally in financial difficulties.

I do not think that in Hongkong a sufficient number of gentlemen of inde- pendent means and spirit and with sufficient leisure could be found to form a capable and energetic Municipal Council.

Personally I should not object to a slight addition to the Unofficial side of the Legislative Council in Hongkong, though I cannot admit the justice or truth of the Petitioners' plea, neither should I object to the appointment to the Executive Council of an Unofficial Member whose long residence and local knowledge would doubtless be of great assistance to the Executive in the preparation of measures to be submitted to the Legislative Council. Practically such assistance could always be obtained if the status quo were maintained, and I may state that I invariably consult the Unofficial Members before bringing into Council measures of purely local interest.

If your Lordship should desire to make or recommend any concession to the Petitioners, I would advise the appointment of an Unofficial Member with a seat in both Councils.

I am aware that there are serious objections to such a step, and that those objections have been pointed out by several of your Lordship's predecessors.

It must not be forgotten that the despatches containing those objections were addressed to Governors of Colonies where Houses of Assembly were in existence.

In

The difficulties in Barbadoes have been set at rest by the appointment of the Executive Committee which was established during my tenure of office there. the Bahamas Unofficial Members are still seated at the Executive Council table.

If your Lordship should desire to make any such concession in the case of Hongkong, it would undoubtedly be a very popular, and I do not think, an alto- gether impolitic concession.

If this concession were accompanied by an acquiescence in my suggestion that until the present financial crisis is at an end, the extra ￡20,000 for Military Con- tribution might, from the 1st January, 1894, be paid in dollars at the rate in force when it was levied, I do not think that in future your Lordship's department would be troubled by any such petitions as the one I now have the honour to forward for your consideration.

I annex for your Lordship's information a "leader" from the North China Enclosure 5. Herald of the 25th May, on the "Petition of the Hongkong Ratepayers" which appears to be a very temperate and sensible criticism of the contents of that document.

I have the honour to be,

To the

Honourable The Commons of the

(Enclosure 1.)

601

UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED.

RESPECTFULLY SHEWETH :--

THE HUMBLE PETITION of the Undersigned Merchants, Bankers, Professional Men, Traders, Artisans, and other Ratepayers, inhabitants of the Crown Colony of Hongkong.

1. The Colony of Hongkong, situate in the China seas, at the south-eastern extremity of the great Empire of China, is one of the smallest, but by no means the least valuable or important, of Her Majesty's possessions outside of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

2. It is a little over 50 years since the Colony was founded on a barren rock, the abode of a few fishermen and pirates. To-day it is a City and Settlement with upwards of a quarter of a million inhabitants; a trade estimated at about Forty millions of pounds sterling per annum, and a revenue of some Two millions of dollars, wholly derived from internal taxation. Hongkong is a free port, through which passes upwards of Fourteen millions of tons of shipping per annum, and it ranks amongst the very first in the list of the great seaports in Her Majesty's dominions. It is the centre of enormous British interests, and is an extensive emporium of British trade in the China seas, and, while it remains a free port, it is destined to expand and develop, and to continue to be the centre of vast traffic and of constant communication between Europe, the Australian Colonies, the United States, and Canada on the one hand, and China, Japan, the Philippine Islands, British North Borneo, Java, Indo-China, Siam, the Straits, and India on the other.

3. Hongkong has attained to its almost unequalled commercial position, through the enterprise, skill, and energy of British Merchants, Traders, and Ship- owners; through the labours of Her Majesty's subjects who have spent their lives and employed their capital on its shores; through the expenditure of many millions of dollars in Roads, Streets, and Bridges; in buildings, public and private; in extensive Reclamations; in Docks, Piers, and Wharves; and last, but not least, in Manufactures of great and increasing value. The prosperity of the Colony can best be maintained by the unremitting exertions and self-sacrifice of your Peti- tioners and the valuable co-operation and support of the Chinese, and only by the continuance of Hongkong as a free port.

4. Notwithstanding that the whole interests of your Petitioners are thus inextricably and permanently bound up in the good Administration of the Colony, in the efficiency of its Executive, and the soundness of its Finance, your Petitioners are allowed to take only a limited part or small share in the Government of the Colony, and are not permitted to have any really effective voice in the management of its affairs, external or internal. Being purely a Crown Colony, it is governed by a Governor appointed by Her Most Gracious Majesty the QUEEN, and by an Executive and a Legislative Council. The former is composed wholly of Officers of the Crown, nominated and appointed by the Crown; the latter consists of seven Official Members, selected and appointed by the QUEEN, and five Unofficial Members, two of whom are nominated by certain public bodies in the Colony, while the other three are selectel by the Governor, and all are appointed by Her Majesty.

602

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

　5. The Executive Council sits and deliberates in secret. The Legislative Council sits with open doors, and its procedure appears to admit of full and unfettered discussion, but there is virtually no true freedom of debate. Questions are considered, and settled, and the policy to be adopted by the Government in connection therewith is decided in the Executive Council. They are then brought before the Legislative Council, where the Government-the Official Members being in a majority--can secure the passing of any measure, in face of any opposition the part of the Unofficial Members, who are thus limited to objecting and protesting, and have no power to carry any proposal which they may consider beneficial, nor have they power to reject or even modify any measure which may in their opinion be prejudicial to the interests of the Colony.

6. In the adjustment and disposal of the Colonial Revenue it might be sup- posed that the Unofficial Representatives of the taxpayers would be allowed a potential voice, and in form this has been conceded by the Government. But only in form, for in the Finance Committee, as well as in the Legislative Council, the Unofficial Members are in a minority, and can therefore be out-voted if any real difference of opinion arises.

7. Legislative Enactments are nearly always drafted by the Attorney General, are frequently forwarded before publication in the Colony or to the Council for the approval of the Secretary of State, and when sanctioned are introduced into the Legislative Council, read a first, second, and third time, and passed by the votes of the Official Members, acting in obedience to instructions, irrespective of their per- sonal views or private opinions.

　The Legislation so prepared and passed emanates in some cases from persons whose short experience of and want of actual touch with the Colony's needs, does not qualify them to fully appreciate the measures best suited to the requirements of the Community.

8. Those who have the knowledge and experience are naturally the Unofficial Members, who have been elected and appointed as possessing these very qualifica- tions, who have passed large portions of their lives in the Colony, and who either have permanent personal interests in it, or hold prominent positions of trust which connect them most closely with its affairs, and are therefore the more likely to have been required to carefully study its real needs, and to have thoroughly On acquainted themselves with the methods by which these are best to be met. the other hand the offices occupied by the Oficial Members are only stepping stones in an official career; the Occupants may be resident for a longer or a shorter period in the Colony, and for them to form an opinion on any question which arises, different from that decided upon by the Government in Executive Council, is to risk a conflict with the Governor, and they are therefore compelled to vote on occasions contrary to their convictions.

9. Your petitioners humbly represent that to Malta, Cyprus, Mauritius, British Honduras, and other Crown Colonies, more liberal forms of Government than those enjoyed by your Petitioners have been given: Unofficial seats in the Execu- tive Council; Unofficial majorities in the Legislative Council; power of election of Members of Council; and more power and influence in the management of purely local affairs: in none of these Colonies are the Commercial and Industrial interests of the same magnitude or importance as those of Hongkong. Your l'etitioners, therefore, pray your Honourable House to grant them the same or similar privileges.

10. Your Petitioners fully recognise that in a Colony so peculiarly situated on the borders of a great Oriental Empire, and with a population largely composed of aliens whose traditional and family interests and racial sympathies largely remain in that neighbouring Empire, special legislation and guardianship are required. Nor are they less alive to the Imperial position of a Colony which is at

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

603

once a frontier Fortress and a Naval Depot, the head quarters of Her Majesty's Fleet, and the base for Naval and Military operations in these Far Eastern waters; and they are not so unpractical as to expect that unrestricted power should be given to any local Legislature, or that the QUEEN'S Government could ever give up the paramount control of this important Dependency. All your Petitioners claim is the common right of Englishmen to manage their local affairs, and control the Expenditure of the Colony, where Imperial considerations are not involved.

11. At present your petitioners are subject to Legislation issuing from the Imperial Parliament, and all local legislation must be subsidiary to it. Her Majesty the QUEEN in Council has full and complete power and authority to make laws for the Island, and local laws must be approved and assented to by the Governor in the name of the QUEEN, and are subject to disallowance by Her Majesty on the recommendation of Her Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies.

12. Your Petitioners recognise the necessity and propriety of the existence of these checks and safeguards against the abuse of any power and authority exer- cised by any local Legislature, and cheerfully acquiesce in their continuance and effective exercise, but respectfully submit that, subject to these checks and safe- guards, they ought to be allowed the free election of Representatives of British Nationality in the Legislative Council of the Colony; a majority in the Council of such elected Representatives; perfect freedom of debate for the Official Members, with power to vote according to their conscientious convictions without being called to account or endangered in their positions by their votes; complete control in the Council over local expenditure; the management of local affairs; and a consultative voice in questions of an Imperial character.

Your Petitioners therefore most humbly pray your Honourable House to move Her Most Gracious Majesty the QUEEN to amend by Order in Council the constitution of this Crown Colony, and to grant to your Petitioners, and to the inhabitants of Hong- kong in all time to come the rights and privileges hereinbefore mentioned.

(Here follow 363 signatures.)

Enclosure 2.

Memorandum by the Acting Colonial Secretary (The Honourable

J. II. Stewart Lockhart.)

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

In accordance with your instructions I beg to make the following remarks on the petition to the House of Commons praying for an amendment of the constitu- tion of the Crown Colony of Hongkong.

The document professes to be the humble petition of merchants, bankers, professional men, traders, artisans, and other ratepayers, inhabitants of Hongkong.

The signatories amount to 363; of these 284 are British, 10 Anglo-Chinese, 3 Americans, 4 Portuguese, and 47 British Indians.

The petition is so loosely worded and in certain respects so contradictory that it is not altogether an easy matter to ascertain definitely what the wishes of the petitioners are or who are to be included in the allegel benefits for which the pet- tioners pray.

604

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

They, however, appear to be summed up in the last paragraph of the petition as follows:-

1. The election of representatives of British nationality in the Legislative

Council.

2. A majority of such representatives in the Council.

3. Freedom of debate for the Official Members with power to vote as

they desire.

4. Complete control in the Council over local expenditure.

5. The management of local affairs.

6. A consultative voice in questions of an Imperia! character.

As petitioners point out, Hongkong was founded over 50 years ago on a barren rock, the abode of a few fishermen. To-day the Colony has upwards of a quarter of a million inhabitants, a trade estimated at ￡40,000,000 annually, and a revenue of some two millions of dollars wholly derived from internal taxation.

As regards the population of Hongkong, the actual figures as ascertained at the last Census held in 1891 were 221,441; out of this total there was a Chinese resident population of 210,995; a resident British civil population of 1,448; a Portuguese population of 2,089; a German population of 208; and an American. population of 93.

Of the British resident population the number of male adults was 795; of the Chinese population the number of male adults was 127,690; that is to say, for every male adult Britisher in Hongkong there were 160 adult Chinese.

The male adult Britishers of this Colony (exclusive of Anglo-Chinese who are not a large class and who, as it is difficult to ascertain their numbers and as it is not possible as a rule to distinguish them from ordinary Chinese, whose views and sentiments they for the most part share, may be counted as Chinese) are composed of heads of and assistants in mercantile, banking, and shipping firms and stores.

The British population of Hongkong is by no means a permanent one as petitioners seem to suggest. The number of persons, to quote the words of the Petition, "who have passed large portions of their lives in the Colony," is very small. Their object in coming to the Colony is to acquire wealth and to return to Great Britain as soon as they possibly can.

It is true that fortunes are not now made so rapidly as formerly, and enforced residence abroad is under the present condition of things of longer duration than it once used to be. But even under these altered circumstances the British popula- tion of Hongkong is always changing. Heads of houses often leave Hongkong to superintend their business in other parts of China or at home, and mercantile assistants are being continually moved from agency to agency. During the last ten years the heads and staff of almost every firm in the Colony have been changed, in many instances, more than once. Undoubtedly there have been British residents who have devoted both time and labour to promoting the welfare of the Colony, but the instances of "self-sacrifice" of personal interests to the public good have been very rare.

Indeed, merchants and others make no secret of the fact that the good of their firms is the first object of their consideration, and that everything, public or private, must yield to it; and they have little or no time to devote to outside matters not intimately connected with their own business relations. There is no leisured class in this Colony, which has the time, even if it had the will, to devote to matters of public interest.

It must also be borne in mind that the mass of the population of this Colony consists of Chinese. Between the Chinese and the British merchants there is

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

absolutely no intercourse except that of a commercial nature. Between the two populations there is a gulf almost as wide as there was a quarter of a century or even fifty years ago.

It is true that there are more Chinese who can speak English than formerly, but the proportion they bear to the whole is infinitesimal, the large majority of the Chinese being as ignorant of our language as the British resident is of Chinese. Under such conditions as these it is not surprising that knowledge of Chinese, their customs and their peculiar requirements should be a sealed book to the British resident, whose intercourse with the Chinese is of the most limited nature, being almost exclusively confined to a discussion of markets, goods and prices carried on in a jargon called "pidgin" English. With such a medium of expression an interchange of ideas is practically impossible and is, indeed, rarely attempted. When therefore the petitioners in paragraph 8 of their petition describe the Un- official Members as the natural possessors of "knowledge and experience," it is impossible that they can mean "knowledge and experience" of the Chinese and Chinese requirements, for, of them, it is notorious that they are very ignorant.

It is not possible that under such circumstances they can in any way represent them. It perhaps may be this inability which leads the petitioners to seriously recommend that the Chinese should have no representatives, representation being monopolised by persons of British nationality, who are to "have complete control over local expenditure" to the payment of which they contribute but a very small

share.

In considering the question of representation it is important to remember that, as petitioners state, "the traditional and family interests and racial sympathies of the Chinese who come to Hongkong largely remain in China," which is simply another mode of saying that the Chinese in Hongkong remain Chinese, a truism which is well-known even to the casual visitor to the Colony. But petitioners seem to forget that in calling attention to this undoubted fact they at the same time unfortunately remind us that representative institutions are not only unsuit- able but quite alien to the mind of the Chinese.

In China the patriarchal system still exists, the unit of society there is the family and not the individual. The modern idea of "one man one vote" is one which a Chinaman can hardly comprehend, and if he does succeed in grasping its meaning, it is an idea which does not appeal to him, as it is opposed to the constitu- tion of society and the theory of government in China. In China taxes are levied and expended by the Government, the people having no voice in or control over expenditure, and the Chinese population of this Colony would be quite content to live under the same system so long as the taxes were fairly levied and expended for the purpose for which they were collected, without any of that peculation which is so rife in their own country. Indeed, they would prefer this system to one which, if the prayer of the Petition is granted, would practically place the levying and expending of their taxes in the hands of a small body of British merchants who may be here to-day and gone to-morrow, and whom the Chinese would be most unwilling to recognize as their lords and masters. It would also weaken the Government in the eyes of the Chinese if its views could be over-ridden by a handful of British merchants.

Among the Chinese there are some residents whom residence abroad or con- nection with foreigners have imbued with notions differing from those held by the rest of their countrymen, but they are a small minority and are not representative of the Chinese view. The Chinese have lived in peace under the British flag in Hongkong for more than half a century; they are quite satisfied with the present form of Government under which the laws are fairly administered without distinc- tion of race; under which their peculiar customs and requirements receive every consideration; and under which taxes are justly levied and honestly expended.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

Petitioners estimate the trade of this Colony at ￡40,000,000 a year, and among other reasons attribute the almost unequalled commercial position to which the Colony has attained "to the enterprise, skill and energy of British merchants," and state that "the prosperity of the Colony can best be maintained by the unremitting exertions and self-sacrifice of Petitioners and the valuable co-operation and support of the Chinese."

Whatever may have been the conditions of trade in this Colony in years gone by, it is a fact I believe acknowledged by British merchants themselves that the modern tendency is for the trade to fall more and more into the hands of the Chinese, though this could hardly be attributed to "self-sacrifice" on the part of the petitioners. The large British mercantile houses of former days are now either extinct or have considerably modified their former methods of conducting business. Instead of merchants now dealing in merchandise on their own account, their transactions are becoming more and more confined to buying or selling on com- mission for or to Chinese, and this, no doubt, is the reason why large mercantile houses do not increase, while smaller mercantile firms, working on a small capital, doing business as commission agents, are increasing. Without the Chinese traders of this Colony, its prosperity would soon wane, and it is in no small degree due to them that Hongkong has reached its present commercial position.

The following statistics will show how large and rapid has been the growth of the Chinese population

With this increase in the population there has been a corresponding increase in the volume of trade carried on by Chinese not only with Europeans but also among themselves quite independently of Europeans, British or otherwise.

A

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

607

As regards the revenue of Hongkong, it is derived entirely from internal taxation, and amounted in 1893 to $2,078,135.

Most of the taxes fall almost entirely on Chinese. The only tax to which the British and other residents as a whole are subject in the same manner as the Chinese is the tax of 13 % levied on the rateable value of house property in Victoria. a smaller rate being levied in out-stations.

This tax yields annually about $470,000, of which over $305,500 are con- tributed by the Chinese and the balance by all the other nationalities combined.

The petitioners, who are not in some instances British and who do not in many cases contribute directly to the taxes, claim "the common right of Englishmen to manage the local affairs and control the expenditure of the Colony." They have, however, carefully omitted to point out that the local affairs include Chinese affairs of which, as has been stated, they are generally ignorant and which the Chinese have shown no desire that the British merchants and other residents should

manage, and to indicate that to the expenditure of the Colony of which they desire the control they contribute a very small portion.

Petitioners do not surely wish to maintain that Britishers have an inherent right to control all expenditure be their contributions to the revenue however small! It would be interesting to know in what period of our constitutional history such a right has been asserted or allowed.

As a matter of fact, if taxation is to be taken as the basis of representation, and, seeing that it is as ratepayers petitioners present the petition, it may be inferred that such is the basis they desire, residents of British nationality are at present over-represented in the Legislative Council. That Council now consists of six Official Members (all of whom, by the way, are ratepayers), exclusive of the Governor, and five Unofficial Members. Every one of these Unofficial Members, including the Honourable Ho KAI, is of British nationality. Of the five Unofficial Members two are natives of Great Britain, two are natives of India, and one is a native of Hongkong. The Chinese properly so called are not represented at all, for, though the Honourable Ho KAI is of Chinese descent, he is a native of Hong- kong and therefore of British nationality. But petitioners are not satisfied with the excessive representation they already possess; they now desire a majority of members of British nationality in the Legislative Council, which would mean at least an in- crease of three members. They say they ought to be allowed "the free election of representatives of British nationality," but they do not suggest how this free election is to be conducted, nor do they state whether the right of election is to be restricted as to nationality. Seeing that the petition is signed by British, American, Portuguese and Chinese it might be inferred that the right of election is not to be in any way restricted, but is to be exercised by all ratepayers alike regardless of nationality. Were the franchise limited to persons of British nationality this would practically restrict the right of voting to the 800 adult British residents and to Anglo-Chinese subjects who are a very indefinite and by no means numerous class. Of these 800 adult Britishers not many have any interest or stake in the Colony beyond their own employment, and the Anglo-Chinese community, being as a class imbued with Chinese views and sentiments, it seems unreasonable to grant them a privilege which is withheld from the other Chinese, who formn almost the whole of the population, who contribute by far the largest proportion of the taxation, and who have by far the largest interest of any nationality in the Colony. On the other hand if the right of election is to include aliens, Chinese numbers would swamp those of any other nationality; the Council would be constituted entirely as the Chinese might desire, and it would be quite possible for them to elect none but Anglo-Chinese Members. At present three of the Members of the Legislative Council are nominated by the Governor, one is elected by the Justices of the Peace, who are British subjects, and one by the Chamber of Commerce. The latter

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

institution is composed of persons of all nationalities, so that aliens now have a vote of which they would be deprived if the election of members of Council is to be confined to persons of British nationality.

Petitioners state that there is "no true freedom of debate" in the Legislative Council, and seem to imply that the views of the Unofficial Members are invariably disregarded. Every one who is acquainted with the history of Hongkong knows that the utmost freedom of debate is allowed on all matters brought before Council. A reference to the pages of the local Hansard will show how every measure is thoroughly debated before being adopted and what regard is paid to the views of the Unofficial Members. The same work bears witness to the ignorance of Chinese matters displayed by some Unofficial Members.

Petitioners seem to regard it as a grievance that Legislative enactments are drafted by the Attorney General. The Attorney General would, it is almost certain, be only too ready to allow members of Council or others ambitious of figuring as legal draftsmen and who are able to fulfil the object of their ambition to share with him his labours in this respect. But as it is part of his duties, for which he is paid, to draft Ordinances, it is only natural that he should do this Unofficial members work especially as volunteer draftsmen have still to be found. of Council have never yet suggested a Legislative measure which has not received the consideration of the Council, and within the last few years more than one measure has been brought forward by an Unofficial Member and passed into law. As an example it is sufficient to mention the Share Bill introduced by the Honourable J. J. KESWICK and passed into law by the Legislative Council. On the other hand the Unofficial Members have not infrequently strongly opposed and striven to prevent passing into law measures which they have been afterwards compelled to acknowledge by incontrovertible facts as of great benefit to the Colony. When the Stamp Ordinance, which still exists, was introduced by Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL the Unofficial Members raised a hue and cry declaring that the Governor would ruin the Colony if the law were carried. The law was carried; the Colony prospers; and the revenue receives a valuable addition from its stamp duties. This simply illustrates that to err is as human on the part of Unofficial Members as of others.

The statement in the Petition that Legislative enactments "are frequently forwarded before publication in the Colony or to the Council for the approval of the Secretary of State" and then rushed through the Council without consideration. is not in accordance with facts. No reason exists for such action seeing that to every Ordinance which has passed the Council a suspension clause can be added, suspending the carrying into force of an Ordinance until Her Majesty's confirmation or disallowance has been received. Unofficial Members themselves have frequently requested the addition of such suspension clauses to Ordinances.

Reference has already been made to the knowledge and experience of Unoffi- cial Members which petitioners regard as theirs by nature; the length and object of their residence in the Far East have been touched upon; and allusion has also been made to their want of leisure to study any problems outside their own business sphere.

Petitioners' reference to the Official Members "whose offices are only stepping stones in an official career" and who may be resident in the Colony for a longer or shorter period is misleading.

There are at present in the Legislative Council six Official Members exclusive of the Governor.

(1) The Colonial Secretary whom even the Unofficial Members regard

as one of the best officers this Colony has ever possessed.

(2) The Attorney General whose work is of a technical nature and confined entirely to legal matters, which as a rule do not require local knowledge.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

609

(3) The Registrar General who is the officer entrusted with the adminis- tration of Chinese affairs and who requires a special knowledge of local affairs and requirements. The present holder of the post has been in the Colony fifteen years, and has held his present post for seven years.

(4) The Colonial Treasurer who is entrusted with the collection of

revenue, &c. and who has been in the Colony 13 years.

(5) The Director of Public Works who has been in the Colony seven

years.

(6) The Harbour Master who has been in the Colony ten years.

As a matter of fact the Official Members of the Legislative Council not only now are, but during the last twenty years have as a rule been long resident in the Colony, their residence being as a rule of as long duration as that of the Unofficial Members, who, as has already been pointed out, do not generally remain perma- nently in Hongkong.

Petitioners quote Malta, Cyprus, Mauritius and British Honduras as examples of Crown Colonies enjoying more liberal forms of Government than those enjoyed in Hongkong and add that "in none of those Colonies are the commercial aud industrial interests of the same magnitude and importance as those of Hongkong." But Petitioners might at the same time have pointed out, as the late senior Un- official Member Mr. RYRIE used to say : "Hongkong is a place sui generis." In none of the Colonies mentioned are the conditions either of population or situation the same as those of this Colony, nor is the Imperial position of them like Hongkong "which," to quote the words of the petitioners, "is at once a frontier fortress and a naval depot, the head quarters of Her Majesty's fleet, and the base for naval and military operations in these Far Eastern waters and of which Petitioners are not so unpractical as to expect that the Queen's Government could ever give up the paramount control." But notwithstanding this disclaimer, petitioners who include not only British subjects but also Americans, Portuguese and Chinese pray for a consultative voice in questions of an Imperial character; and claim the com- mon right of Englishmen!

(6

66

The Petitioners also pray for unofficial seats on the Executive Council. There are obvious objections to giving a seat on the Executive Council to private indi- viduals with personal interests in the Colony. At the same time such a departure from the usual constitution of Crown Colonies would have its advantages. An Unofficial Member of Executive Council would form a link between the Executive Council and the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council, which might lead to beneficial results in the administration of affairs, but such a member would have to be a resident of experience, well-known for his public spirit, and ready to subor- dinate his own interests and personal considerations to the general welfare of the Colony. Such residents, no doubt, there are in Hongkong, but it will not be easy to induce them to come forward, for, as has already been stated, British residents in this Colony are engrossed in their own occupations, which so monopolize their attention that they are not often able, even if they are willing, to give up much time to the discussion or consideration of matters of public importance, which do not immediately concern themselves or their business.

To sum up, the petition is signed by certain residents in Hongkong, includ- ing British subjects and aliens, who desire the free election of a majority of Unofficial Members, who are to be British subjects. Petitioners do not state clearly in whom the free election of such a majority of members is to vest, or what is to be the basis of representation. If representation is to be based on taxation and the right of election is to extend to all nationalities alike, the Chinese, who so largely outnumber all other nationalities, will be able to carry the election of any member for whom they may vote. If the so-called free election of members be

610

restricted to British subjects, which is believed to be the real object of the Petitioners, the electorate will be confined to a handful of Britishers, numbering about 800 male adults, exclusive of the Anglo-Chinese, who are not a numerous class, whose sympathies are almost invariably Chinese, and who have at the pre- sent time a representative in the Legislative Council, the Honourable Ho KAI. These 800 Britishers are already represented in the Legislative Council by four Members, though the amount of the taxation contributed by them is very small when compared with that contributed by the Chinese, whose adult male popula- tion amounts to 127,690, but who are at present unrepresented and who, not being Britishers, under the new arrangements proposed by the Petitioners, will not be qualified for scats on the Legislative Council, which are to be reserved exclusively for persons of British nationality. If the Unofficial Members are to be in a major- ity, as Petitioners pray, the Chinese, who are unaccustomed to the principles of representation, and who have evinced no desire for its extended application in Hongkong, will have to witness the spectacle of the representatives of the Impe- rial Government being over-ridden and defeated by a majority elected from a small number of British residents-an object lesson which would certainly not tend to raise the prestige or strengthen the authority of British rule in the eyes of the Chinese.

The Petitioners desire to have complete control over local expenditure, to which they contribute but a small portion, and at the same time to exclude from having any voice in such control the Chinese, from whom most of the revenue of the Colony is derived.

They wish to have the management of local affairs, which must necessarily include Chinese affairs, of which most of the Petitioners are notoriously ignorant and which the Chinese have shown no desire to entrust to the management of an elected majority of representatives of British nationality.

The Petitioners, British and alien, ask for a consultative voice in questions of an Imperial character. What these may be it is somewhat hard to divine, but it Whether British is obvious that no alien should have any voice in such matters.

subjects in Hongkong, including Anglo-Chinese, whose sympathies, as already pointed out, are as a rule Chinese, should be 'consulted on Imperial matters is a question which appertains to the Imperial Government, and may be safely left to it

for an answer.

HONGKONG, 5th June, 1894.

SIR,

In compliance with your Excellency's request, I have now the honour to state my views on the subject of the Petition to the House of Commons recently signed by a large number of persons in this community.

*

I now proceed to speak in regard to the substance of the Petition, but I will I challenge, refrain from criticizing it clause by clause as it seems unnecessary. however, its general statements which have been marshalled in such form as to

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

611

convey the idea that the petitioners and the Chinese community by a long period of self-sacrifice have made this Colony what it is, and that its prosperity can best be maintained by "their unremitting exertions, by the self-sacrifice of themselves, "and by the co-operation and support of the Chinese."

While admitting the unquestioned importance to the Colony of its present citizens, Hongkong does not, as a matter of fact, owe its importance to the petitioners in any such exclusive manner, but to fifty-three years of enlightened and prudent government, to a long line of able and esteemed men and firms of all nationalities, to local industries, to Banks and Steamboat Companies-most of them with British capital-and to Chinese, all of whom moved by no sentiment but that of gain live here for the purposes of business exclusively. Europeans and Americans do not come here to sacrifice themselves for the Colony, but to make money,

and as soon as they have enough they retire to their own countries.

The Chinese are essentially a changing element in the community, most of them being domiciled both in Hongkong and on the adjoining mainland. There could be nothing further from the fact than a contention that the Chinese residents in Hongkong are here as colonists interested in the place, its prosperity, and with its future, for, they have no sympathy with its Government, its laws, or its progress, apart from their individual interests.

A careful study of the Memorial will reveal that the framer of it had some difficulty in stating precisely what the grievances of the petitioners are, and he has failed to make any suggestion how the remedies prayed for are to be applied.

I think I may sum up the prayer of the petition in the following requests :-

1. The free election of Unofficial Members of Council.

2. A working majority of Unofficial Members of Council.

3. Complete control by the unofficial majority over the expenditure

of the Colony.

4. Management of Local Affairs.

5. A consultative voice in matters of an Imperial character.

I will take each of these requests in turn.

A.--The free election of Unofficial Members of Council.

There is nothing that I can conceive of that might lead to more serious consequences to the good repute and usefulness of the Legislative Council than this proposal. Should this request be granted the Legislative Council would certainly have from time to time a most undesirable unofficial element who would not command public confidence, and the most important interests in the Colony would not be represented, but on the contrary, possibly be signalled out for discriminate treatment.

B.-A working majority of Unofficial Members of Council.

I do not contemplate for a moment the possibility of such a request being granted, and I base my opinion on the following considerations. Looking to the importance of Hongkong not only from a commercial point of view but also as a naval and military station, and to its proximity to China, to its Chinese inha- bitants who look upon it as China, and to the desire of China to resume it if opportunity afforded, I cannot imagine any Ministry (or House of Commons) parting with the absolute and certain control over it, always and readily exercis- able by the Imperial Government. Such control can only be effectively main- tained by retaining the existing form of local Government in the Colony, i.e., Gov- ernment through a Governor with the command of an official majority in the Legislative Council,

612

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

C.-Complete control by the unofficial majority over the Expenditure

of the Colony.

This is a proposal that some half dozen men representing, say, eight hundred ratepayers should dispose of the revenues derived from over 200,000 Chinese rate- payers and derived also from local industries and British capital.

Assuming that the Unofficial Members were all elected and that they had a working majority, it may be conceived what evils would arise in the local Legisla- ture if they could dispose of its revenue as they might elect.

If this prayer were granted it would be necessary in common justice to give the Chinese adequate representation based either (a) on numbers, or (b) on taxa- tion. In either case the Chinese must indisputably be given their full weight, in the case of (a) in respect of their numbers, or in the case of (b) in respect of the taxes paid by them. In either case where would British interests in Hongkong

be ?

D.-Management of Local Affairs.

What are local affairs?

The drainage, roads, wharves, harbour, police, Treasury, Post Office, Educa- tion, in fact all departments of Government which it is proposed to hand over to an unofficial majority of persons. The evils that would spring from such a con- cession would destroy all confidence in the administration of affairs, and introduce the Colony to the municipal experiences of New York and San Francisco.

E-A consultative voice in matters of an Imperial character.

I do not understand what Hongkong has to do with matters of an Imperial character beyond her responsibilities as a Crown Colony of Great Britain, and it is not apparent to me in what way the Unofficial Members could exercise the pri- vilege prayed for if granted.

A distinction is made in words between local affairs and Imperial affairs, but in all cases where the discussion sets out with general phrases the difficulties are found when they come to be practically defined. In this case the petitioners agitating for power to manage a certain class of affairs ought to have specified with the greatest precision what those affairs are, otherwise how can any effect be given to their demand?

There is not much more that I can usefully add in the way of criticism of this very short-sighted, and, as I view it, mischievous Petition, which I have endeavoured to consider with an open, unprejudiced mind as to the motives which underlie it, and its substance, but I would perhaps do well to make a few general remarks on the whole subject.

A revolutionary change in the Government, even of a small Colony, requires the most cogent reasons to justify it, and the demand for popular Government ought at least to come spontaneously from the people who are aggrieved by the existing regime. In this case both these conditions are wanting. The grievance is not defined but is hidden away in hypothetical generalities, and there is nothing about the "movement to show that it is the outcome of any genuine public feel- ing.

The proposal is crude and shapeless, and has not been thought out by the authors. They ask for representative Government, while carefully avoiding any specification of the electoral body or the mode of election, or the qualifications of the representatives. They wish to introduce an entirely new thing, but cannot get beyond the terminology appropriate to the existing regime.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

613

The petitioners propose that the Unofficial Members of Council should be chosen by the people, but they fail to say by whom, or by what section, or by what process.

These are matters of detail, but the petitioners have not grasped them, and in a proposed reconstruction of the Government to remedy alleged evils they were bound to state in what manner the end was to be accomplished, and to show that they would not open the door to greater evils than those they sought to

remove.

Under a nominally popular Government as in that of New York, for example, (to which I have already referred), the greatest abuses may be perpetuated, and it is almost impossible to conceive a representative Government properly so-called put

into operation in a peculiar place like Hongkong without the worst abuses cropping in. I can see room for and danger of the worst abuses! It is incumbent on those who agitate for a change to show how they mean to prevent such abuses, and to do this the petitioners ought to have laid bare their scheme in full detail.

I have an impression that if the promoter or promoters of this Petition had called the community together publicly and explained distinctly what they really wanted, the good sense of the persons who hurriedly signed the Memorial would have prevailed, and the Petition would not have gone further, nor the community have been thrown into gratuitous antagonism to the Government.

It may not be out of place if I now venture to express my personal opinion with regard to the number of Unofficial Members of Council.

I consider that for all practical purposes the present number of five is suffi- cient, but as there is a good deal of feeling expressed from time to time that those persons of European and American nationalities who are neither members of the Chamber of Commerce nor Justices of the Peace have no representative in Council, I would recommend that they should have one, and that their voting privileges should be based on the rents they pay.

I think that it would be of considerable assistance to the Government to have one Unofficial Member of Council of English birth in the Executive Council. Many questions continually arise in which knowledge and experience outside the circle of Government might be of considerable value, and add to the Executive strength.

In conclusion, I would strongly deprecate the addition to the Legislative Council of a second representative of the Chinese.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your Excellency's most obedient Servant,

To His Excellency

HONGKONG, 29th May, 1894.

‧

DEAR SIR,

　I am in receipt of your letter of the 21st instant informing me that a petition to the House of Commons has been forwarded to you by Mr. WHITEHEAD with the request that you will send it to the Secretary of State, and asking me, as an old resident and a member of the Legislative Council, to give my opinion in regard to that petition. As you opine I am fully aware of the prayer of that petition, and it is no doubt within your knowledge that I declined to append my signature to it.

I avail myself with much pleasure of the opportunity now afforded me to set forth the reasons that prompted me to adopt a course in opposition to that taken by the majority of my unofficial colleagues in the Legislative Council.

I am of opinion that a somewhat larger share in, and control over, the adminis tration of purely local affairs should be conceded to the British taxpayers of this Colony; but I think the petition goes too far. It contemplates the utter swamp- ing of the official element in the Legislative Council and the introduction of Un- official Members into the Executive Council. I am not prepared to advocate such a sweeping change. I consider that British Imperial interests must always be paramount here because this island is only a commercial depot and coaling station

a mere fortified rock-on which there can be no permanent local interests of any magnitude. I am not aware of a single British resident who regards this island as his home; we are all birds of passage, giving place, every few years, to another set of, shall I say, commercial swallows. There is no planting interest; no estates handed down from father to son, as is the case in Mauritius, Cyprus, Malta, &c. where the settlement of the soil preceded the British Government, not as happened in this Colony, where the settlers followed the establishment of the administration and then consisted of trading hongs. It inay be objected that the Officials are also only temporary residents, but they at any rate carry on a settled policy and are responsible to a higher authority, while the successors to the Unofficial Members may hold widely different views to those animating my colleagues and may represent a dwindled British interest.

In the event of a large increase in the number of Unofficial Members of the suitable Legislative Council being conceded, I am very doubtful whether, even now, men with the needed leisure could be found whose position would admit of their acceptance of the duties and responsibilities involved. Most of the remain- ing representative residents have their time so fully occupied that they would be compelled to decline the honour. But supposing that good legislators could now be found, I am by no means satisfied that there would always be fitting successors to them or that the interests we leave behind us here would be safe in their hands, that is, of course, supposing the unofficial element to be in the majority. Personally I confess I would prefer to trust in the future to officials of whose probity I need feel no doubt and of whose policy no speculation need be entertained to a body of elected representatives who might in years to come be returned to office largely by Chinese or mixed votes, pledged to a policy I could not approve and which might have disastrous effects for the Colony. There might come a time even when schemers would find it to their advantage to enter the Council, in order to promote projects for their own personal enrichment or aggrandisement. This has happened in some countries, and if the power became vested in the elected members of Coun- cil it might some day happen here. We cannot claim any monopoly of civic virtue. It is opportunity that often creates the boodler and the rogue. What better illustration of this can be given than the case of JABEZ BALFOUR--the com-

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　615 pany promoter and absconder, whose extradition is now being sought from Argen- tine? I am not therefore inclined to vote for the provision of the opportunity. Perhaps some of the signatories to the petition have not looked quite so far ahead as I have. I have lived in this Colony for many years-the best part of a lifetime -I have seen repeated changes in the personnel of the community, and I have witnessed several important changes in the local conditions. There will be further changes, and they may not always make for the better.

Paragraph 2 of the Petition ascribes the prosperity and progress of the Colony to the enterprise, energy, and commercial acumen of the commercial community, and undoubtedly much will, I trust,-being a merchant myself-be credited to them by the Imperial Government and the House of Commons. At the same time I think no small share in the growth of Hongkong's trade and importance is due to its stable government during the half century of its existence as a British Crown Colony.

As intimated at the outset, I think that the unofficial element in the Legis- tive Council might be increased, but I do not consider that it would be well for the Colony to allow it to attain a position whereby it could over-ride the Government. I at least do not forget that in the event of the Governor of the day proving arbi- trary or unreasonable the Colonists have always the resource of an appeal to the Secretary of State: this has rarely failed them in the past, and is not likely to prove less efficacious in the future. Moreover, and this is a consideration to which I think my fellow-colonists should attach some weight, the Officials in the Colonial Office have had a vast and varied experience of legislation in scores of colonies, where all kinds of conditions prevail, and they can and do afford the Colony great assistance in legislation, sending out drafts of Bills that have worked smoothly elsewhere to be adapted to local circumstances. The Colonial Office is also in some cases a useful restraint on local extravagance, and when it occasionally, from want of appreciation of local conditions, urges a needless outlay like that for the proposed New Gaol, it has been found possible by prudent Governors to postpone and ultimately avoid it.

I have no mind to try an experiment which might, in homely language, prove a leap from the frying pan into the fire. In England the majority of the people are now thanking God that they possess, in the House of Lords, a check upon rash and excited legislation, and I think that in this Colony we should not be impatient of what are not so much leading strings as safeguards for sound administration in a place where the vast bulk of the population consists of natives of the adjoining great semi-civilized and not too-friendly Empire.

Enclosure 5.

(Extract from the "North China Herald" of the 25th May, 1894.)

The ratepayers of Hongkong, or such of them as have signed the petition to the House of Commons, which was printed in the N. C. Daily News of the 10th instant, have resorted to a strong measure for the redress of their constitutional grievances. In passing over all intermediary agencies, the Governor of the Colony, the Colonial Office, and even Her Majesty's Government, the petitioners have emphatically expressed their distrust of the powers that be, and have intimated that a case of such paramount importance can only be worthily dealt with by the ultimate depository of authority in the empire-the British people. It is undoubtedly a bold move, inasmuch as the slight passed on the local Officials will naturally arouse their opposition to the scheme, and if the petitioners fail to enlist the House of Commons in their cause they fail altogether, as the faculty of appeal has been deliberately dispensed with.

Of the severity of the grievance which it is sought by this exceptional effort to redress it would be impertinent for any but an experienced colonist to express an opinion. The petition itself gives no clue to it, for it confines itself to a priori inferences, showing by argument the evils which might be expected to arise from the anomalous partiality in the distribution of power which the actual constitution of the Colonial Government perpetuates.

But the anomalies of the British Constitution extend to all its offshoots. Being the product of expediency and experience alone there is scarcely any feature in it which can be correctly dignified with the name of a principle. It possesses the flexibility of an organic thing, and not the rigidity of an iron casting. It is never therefore successfully attacked on abstract grounds. Even hereditary legislators are safe until some specific wrong-doing is brought home to them, or, at the very least, formally alleged. So far, however, as can be gathered from the text of the Hongkong petition the wrongs of the petitioners are hypothetical; consequently the necessity of reform may easily lose itself in a haze of theoretical discussion.

Another weak point in the movement appears to us to be the somewhat, perhaps unavoidably, pointless conclusion of the petition. In the twelfth and last paragraph, where by the laws of construction of documents of that kind one would expect to find the force of the whole concentrated like the point of a steel shell, we find the wants of the petitioners somewhat spread out.

"They ought to be allowed the free election of representatives of British nationality in the Legislative Council of the Colony; a majority in the Council of such representatives; perfect freedom of debate for the Official Members, with power to vote according to their conscientious convictions without being called to account or endangered in their positions by their votes; complete control in the Council over local expenditure; the management of local affairs; and a consultative voice in questions of an Imperial character."

This somewhat extensive order will be apt to appal the House of Commons, to which these innocent-looking propositions may open out the vista of another Home Rule Bill. Taken in detail, every one of them bristles with difficulties which no House of Commons can solve, and which must eventually be referred back for local solution. For instance the first, "the free election of representatives of British nationality." What, it will naturally be asked, is "free election ?" and by whom? and what exactly is British nationality? Is it synonymous with British race? The only allusion to any electoral constituency is in the caption of the petition itself, where the petitioners describe themselves generally as "ratepayers." The ratepayers, however, in Hongkong, as in Shanghai, are of all nationalities and races. And if they are all to unite in electing representatives who must be of British

617

nationality, a new anomaly may be introduced as little conducive to the welfare of the Colony as any that are to be got rid of. Obviously there is a difficulty here which the House of Commons is to be left to find out for itself, and then to overcome the best way it can.

As to the freedom of conscience on the part of the Official Members of Council, by what power or machinery is the House of Commons to secure this? An Official voting against the Governor would probably not consider himself any more secure for a governmental declaration that he was allowed freedom of speech. His promotion or his leave might be stopped, or his social relations embittered, without any one being required to give the reason. "The management of local affairs," would necessitate a definition of local affairs; which also would be required in order to distinguish the local from Imperial expenditure.

No doubt these difficulties are fully recognised by the petitioners, who may have purposely avoided details in order to gain a first hearing for their case in the abstract. And this may be good tactics. All depends on the agency by which the House of Commons is intended to be worked upon.

We have said that out of the British Constitution and its colonial offspring it is hard to deduce any fixed principles which may be safely applied universally; what are called principles being mostly word fetishes. If an exception may be made it would be in favour of the eternal principle of right that "taxation implies representation." To this principle the Hongkong ratepayers refer in a delicate and indirect manner, though some of their advocates in the Press take stronger ground.

The difficulty of applying the principle in the circumstances was no doubt the reason why the petitioners laid such slight stress on it. They want British representatives, exclusively, but as the ratepayers are British only to the extent of 7 per thousand of the population of the Colony, where would the representative government come in?

These and other difficulties, of theory and practice, will no doubt crumble away before the triturating force of free discussion. As to the broad question whether democratic government is suitable, desirable, or practical for so unique a community as that of Hongkong, it would probably depend less on general considerations than on the personnel. "That which is best administered is best; and the practical effect of any kind of government is very much a question of who administers it.

The outside view of Hongkong, the view of visitors and short time residents appears to be that it has on the whole been very well governed. The Colony compels the admiration of friend and foe alike. Undoubtedly there are and must be flaws. We hope never to live in a place which is free from them. But it is sometimes easier to perceive the slight evils we are actually suffering from than to realise the greater evils which may follow. If Hongkong had a homogeneous population of 250,000 Englishmen, or even of any kind of Europeans there would no doubt be a sufficient number of them eligible for public functions and competent to fairly represent" the people. But out of seven hundred busy men the chances of getting the requisite number who will honestly devote the necessary time to un- paid public business must always be small. True, in every Council for the last fifteen years there has been one-rarely two-Unofficial Members who have not only given their time, but have entered heart and soul into the affairs of the Colony. But a continuous succession of such men can scarcely be reckoned on. The flue- tuating vigour of Chambers of Commerce, which usually depend on the personality of one man, is not of good augury for an honorary and yet efficient public repre- sentation. Even the example of directorates of local companies, which do pay, scarcely affords a certain guarantee of a perfectly effective representation.

There is one principle of more universal application than that of taxation and representation; it is self-interest. The one active man chosen out of a small cons-

tituency may be found in the long run to represent himself, his family, his firm, or his clique rather than the general public; and that is a danger to which small democracies are peculiarly liable. Even as regards Hongkong itself it has been said the only things in the job line ever perpetrated have been done, not by the Official but by the Unofficial Members of Council, whom it is desired to place in a permanent majority.

SIR,

(Despatch from the Secretary of State to the Governor.)

DOWNING STREET,

23rd August, 1894.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 133 of the 5th of June last enclosing a petition addressed to the House of Cominons by various residents at Hongkong praying for an amendinent of the constitution of the Colony.

2. This petition was forwarded to you by Mr. WHITEHEAD, Member of the Legislative Council, and though, among his colleagues in the Council, Mr. KESWICK and Mr. BELILIOS have refused to sign it, it bears the signatures of Mr. CHATER and Dr. Ho KA1, both Members of the Council, of Mr. JACKSON, Manager of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, and of other leading residents.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　I am therefore bound to assume that it is the matured conviction of at least a considerable propor- tion of the most influential members of the community that constitutional changes are desirable at Hongkong and that for the present Crown Colony System should be substituted some measure of self-government. It is my duty to examine the arguments which have been brought forward, with care and attention; and I should be wanting in courtesy if I did not give a full answer to a petition, which is far reaching in its scope, and which has been strongly supported.

3. The petitioners have addressed themselves to the House of Commons, as they have of course every right to do. From this it is natural to infer that they consider that they have grounds for discontent, which the Secretary of State is unwilling or unable to remove, and that they wish to emphasise in a suitable and reasonable manner the objections which they feel to the existing system.

4. They ask that, subject to Imperial checks and safeguards, they may be granted-

(a) "The free election of representatives of British nationality in the

Legislative Council of the Colony."

(b) "A majority in the Council of such elected representatives."

66

(e) Perfect freedom of debate for the Official Members with power to

vote according to their conscientious convictions.'

(d) "Complete control in the Council over local expenditure.'

(e) The management of local affairs."

(?) "A consultative voice in questions of an Imperial character." They quote the Colonies of Malta, Cyprus, Mauritius and British Honduras as enjoying more liberal forms of government than that under which they are them- selves living at Hongkong. They lay stress upon the commercial energy which has raised the Colony to its present position of importance. They claim "the common right of Englishmen to manage their local affairs and control the expen- diture of the Colony where Imperial considerations are not involved."

5. Hongkong, when 53 years ago it became a British possession, was inhabited. I understand, by some 7,000 to 12,000 Chinese squatters and fishermen.. Accord- ing to the census of 1891 the population, in round numbers, amounted to 221,400, of whom 211,000, or more than nine-tenths, were Chinese. The Europeans and Americans numbered 8,500, and nationalities other than Europeans, Americans, and Chinese, 1,900. The census further analyses, as follows, the European and American population.

Out of the total of 8,500, the resident civil population amounted only to 4,200 the British military and naval forces numbered 2,900, and the remaining 1,400 represented merchant seamen, police, and others.

Of the 4,200 individuals, who constituted the European and American civil population, 1,450 only were returned as British. Of this number not more than 800 were adult males, and therefore presumably not more than 800 of them would be entitled to vote.

6. I shall revert to these figures shortly in connexion with the question of popular representation. Meanwhile it may be deduced from them that under the existing form of government the population of Hongkong has in half a century increased (say) twenty fold which is prima facie evidence, as you suggest in your despatch, that the Colony has been well governed, But a further deduction has also to be made, and that is that under the protection of the British Government Hongkong has become rather a Chinese than an European community; and the fact that the Chinese have settled in the island in such large numbers has not only been one main element in its prosperity, but also the most practical and irrefutable evidence that the government, under which a politically timid race such as the Chinese have shown every desire to live, must have at least possessed some measure of strength and of justice. How far Hongkong is a Chinese settlement, how far the Chinese have paid the taxes and contributed to the trade, is touched upon in Mr. LOCKHART's excellent memorandum which accompanies your despatch. He is clearly of opinion also that the tendency is for the trade of the Colony to pass more and more into Chinese hands.

energy of

I cordially welcome what is said in the petition as to the skill and the British merchants who have been or still are residents in Hongkong, and I can testify with pleasure to their public spirit. But the fact remains that the over- whelming mass of the community are Chinese, that they have thriven under a certain form of government and that in any scheme involving a change of adminis- tration their wishes should be consulted and their interests carefully watched and guarded.

7. The communities with which Hongkong is in the petition unfavourably contrasted, as regards its mode of government, are Malta, Cyprus, Mauritius, and British Honduras. Hongkong, it seems to me, differs from all of these four dependencies of the British Crown alike in degree and in kind. It is smaller than any of them, it has no history or traditions, no record of old settlement or of political usages and constitutional rights. It has practically no indigenous popula- tion; and, if I understand right, it has few life-long residents, whether European or Chinese.

8. It is perhaps a fair account of Hongkong and its fortunes as a British Colony, to say that 50 years ago it was taken by and for the British Crown to serve Imperial purposes, and to safeguard British trade in the Far East.

Holding a commanding position at the mouth of the Canton river, endowed by nature with a fine harbour, which has been carefully kept

kept as a free port, like the Sister Crown Colony of the Straits Settlements, strongly protected by an Imperial garrison and British ships of war, it has owed its prosperity to these

620

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

advantages, as well as to the policy of the Imperial Government, and to the fact that, being strongly guarded, it has attracted a large Chinese population who have found that under British rule their lives and their property have been safe.

I should be inclined to judge not merely that it has prospered as a Crown Colony but that it has prospered in great measure because it has been a Crown Colony.

9. It may, however, be contended that while the Crown Colony system was suited to the infancy of the Colony, it is now time that a larger measure of self- government should be conceded.

I therefore propose very shortly to examine the separate points as to which the petitioners suggest that some concession should be made.

10. They ask in the first place for "the free election of representatives of "British nationality in the Legislative Council of the Colony."

The words are somewhat ambiguous. They may mean that the voters should be of any nationality European, American, Asiatic or Chinese, provided that the representatives for whom they vote are of British nationality. The term British nationality again may be taken to mean either British subjects of all nationalities or simply persons who have been born or are the children of those who have been born in the United Kingdoin. I assume, however, that what the words are intended to convey is that the English, Scotch and Irish in Hongkong should elect representa- tives of themselves to the Legislative Council. If this is the meaning then it is obvious from the figures which have been given above that considerably more than nine-tenths of the population will be entirely excluded from the franchise, that Europeans who are not of the category described, and Americans will be excluded as well as Chinese, and that among those British residents who alone will be, it is presumed, entitled to vote, the civil element, some proportion of which moreover consists of Government officials, will be swamped by the military and naval element.

It may be said that the naval and military forces should be debarred from voting on the ground that they are not resident in the Colony, but the same objection would apply also, though possibly in a lesser degree, to the civil population. Indeed, over and above any other arguments which can be urged against representative government in Hongkong, it appears to me that the transient character of the population is by itself a serious obstacle.

11. The second claim is the complement or rather the extension of the first. The petitioners ask not only that there shall be elected representatives in the Council, but that there shall be a majority of such representatives, in other words that, at any rate as regards legislation, the power shall be vested in a very small section of the population, and that more than nine-tenths of it shall be controlled by representatives of the small remainder.

12. The third demand is that the Official Members shall be allowed to speak and vote as they please. It is a demand which is familiar in the case of Crown colonies, but only one answer can be given to it, viz., that the paid servants of the Government cannot be left free to oppose the Government. I should be surprised to learn that the Officials themselves wished to be given this freedom.

It is in fact not peculiar to the Crown Colony system; it is of the essence of all administration that the paid supporters or components of a government should either vote for and when necessary speak for the settled policy of the government or else resign their places.

13. The fourth and fifth claims are to the effect that the Council, or rather the elected majority in the Council, should have complete control over local expenditure and the management of local affairs.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

621

There is point no doubt in these contentions, in that the municipal institutions, which are to be found in Ceylon and the Straits Settlements, do not exist in Hong- kong, but the difficulty at Hongkong is and must be to draw a line between matters which might be entrusted to a inunicipal council and the business which must be reserved for the Colonial Government. In saying this I am aware that possibly or even probably a municipality would not meet the aspirations of the petitioners, and that they may place a wider construction upon the terms "local expen- diture" and "local affairs" than I have placed upon them.

14. One of the difficulties with which I am met in dealing with this petition arises from the fact that the words employed require to be more accurately defined before their meaning and the intention with which they are used can be fully gauged. This criticism especially applies to the last in the list of the petitioners' claims, viz., that they should be given a consultative voice in questions of an Imperial character. This sentence seems to point to some kind of Imperial Fede- ration, and it is possibly written with reference to the military contribution question which has not been without difficulty in various colonies including Hongkong. The subject raised is so wide and so vague that it would be useless to attempt to discuss it. The question of a general remodelling of the colonial system of Great Britain-for it would probably amount to no less-as it would necessarily become part of any scheme for a Federation of the Empire is a most interesting question; but one of too wide and far reaching a scope to be dealt with in regard to a single case alone. But I may state simply that under the existing system when questions arise which concern the various colonies, it has been the endeavour of my predecessors in office, and it is my own earnest endeavour, that the claims, the interests, and even the prejudices of each colony shall be adequately set forth, and fully and fairly considered.

15. To sum up, the petitioners ask nominally that Hongkong should be given self-government, and an elective system. In my opinion the place and its circumstances are wholly unsuited for what is proposed.

An Imperial Station with great Imperial interests, on the borders of a foreign land, the nucleus of wide reaching British interests in the Far East, must, it appears to me, be kept under Imperial protection and under Imperial control.

In saying this much I am assuming that the self-government would be worthy of the name, and that the elective system would include all ranks of the com- munity, but this is not what the Petition demands. Those who framed it and signed it would, I gather, desire to place the power in the hands of a select few, and to constitute a small oligarchy, restricted by the lines of race. To any such change I am opposed, I consider that the well-being of the large majority of the inhabitants is more likely to be safeguarded by the Crown Colony system, under which, as far as possible no distinction is made of rank or race, than by representa- tion which would leave the bulk of the population wholly unrepresented.

I can therefore hold out no hope that Hongkong will cease to be a Crown Colony.

16. It remains to consider whether any step can be taken which, while not interfering with the Crown Colony system, would slightly modify the existing con- stitution in the direction in which the petition points.

tion-

There appear to be three practical suggestions which are worthy of considera-

(a) Increasing the number of the unofficial Members in the Legislative

Council.

(b) Introducing an Unofficial element into the Executive Council,

(c) Creating a Municipal Council.

622

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

17. As regards the first of these three points, I am not inclined to add to the number of the Unofficial Members without at the same time increasing also the number of Official Members, for in a Crown Colony there must be a very dis- tinct preponderance on the Official side, and that the natural result of evenly balancing the numbers of Officials and Unofficials is friction and irritation.

With this proviso, there is, as far as I can judge, no strong objection to increasing the numbers of the Council, except that for practical working purposes the num- ber is already sufficiently large. If, however, an addition is made, it is difficult on equitable grounds to resist the conclusion that another Chinese representative should be appointed. On the other hand, this is contrary to the wishes of the petitioners as far as I understand them; and Mr. KESWICK who, in his interesting and temperate letter, which is enclosed in your despatch, advocates the appointment of an additional Unofficial Member to the Legislative Council, strongly deprecates "the addition to the Legislative Council of a second representative of the Chinese." The balance of argument therefore appears to be against any change in the present number and composition of the Legislative Council.

18. The second suggestion is that an Unofficial Member should be appointed to the Executive Council. The suggestion is made by Mr. KESWICK, and you state in your despatch that you have personally no objection to it, and that the conces- sion would be very popular and not altogether impolitic.

I can well realise that the addition of a gentleman of high standing and great local experience would be a gain to the Executive Council, and I shall be prepared to sanction the proposal if you still recommend it after further considering the following points.

In none of the three Eastern colonies at the present time is there any unofficial element in the Executive Council, and I am not clear that the step would in all cases be actively beneficial, whereas I am quite clear that the existing system has on the whole worked well, and that therefore there is no strong reason for dis- turbing it.

In the next place I note that Mr. KESWICK proposes that the Unofficial Mem- ber should be of English birth. It must, however, be taken into consideration that it would be invidious and inequitable to lay down that Chinese subjects of the Queen shall be debarred from appointment to the Executive Council, and therefore the possibility of the appointment being hereafter filled by a Chinese gentleman must be reckoned with.

In the third place, you state that practically unofficial assistance in the Ex- ecutive Council "could always be obtained, if the status quo were maintained" and you add that you "invariably consult the Unofficial Members before bringing into Council measures of purely local interest." There is therefore not likely to be much practical gain from the formal appointment of an Unofficial Member to the Executive Council.

It has occurred to me that possibly, instead of making any such appointment, some understanding might be come to that in the case of discussion of specified local subjects, at any rate so long as there is no municipality in existence at Hongkong, one or more Unofficial Members should be summoned to take part in the proceedings of the Executive Council, without giving them seats on the Council for all purposes. This is a point on which I shall be glad to have your opinion.

been finally decided upon and brought into operation. Then, in a clear field it may be possible to create a municipal body with some prospect of success.

The second difficulty, to which allusion has already been made, is that of separating niunicipal from Colonial matters. I am not confident that that difficulty can be overcome, nor am I confident that a municipality would be welcome to and work harmoniously with the military authorities. Still it is possible that the Sanitary Board might be developed into a satisfactory Municipal Council controlling all or some of the revenue which is now derived from rates. Whether any scheme of the kind is feasible I would ask you carefully to consider at your leisure, and in the meantime you are at liberty, if you see occasion to do so, to give publicity to this despatch.

SIR.

DOWNING STREET,

29th May, 1896.

I have had under my consideration the correspondence which has passed in consequence of the petition for an amendment of the constitution of Hongkong which was addressed to the House of Commons in the year 1894 and on which my predecessor had not given a final decision before he left office.

2. I should have been glad to be able to communicate with you on the sub- ject at an earlier date but, as you are aware, the pressure of business at this Department has been exceptional for some time past.

3. In his despatch of the 23rd of August, 1894, Lord RIPON stated that he could hold out no hope that Hongkong will cease to be a Crown Colony. Neither can I hold out any such hope, for I conceive that in the case of Hongkong, Repre- sentative Government on whatever form of franchise it might be based, and with whatever supposed safeguards as to the Executive power would be wholly out of place.

4. There remain two practical points to be decided. The first is whether the present constitution of the Legislative Council should be in any way modified. The second is whether an unofficial element should be introduced into the Execu- tive Council.

624

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

5. On the first of these two points my view is as follows:-I gather that the Legislative Council, as at present constituted, is large enough for practical pur- poses, and that an increase to its numbers is hardly likely to add to its efficiency to any appreciable extent. As Hongkong is to remain a Crown Colony no useful purpose would be served, but on the contrary a considerable amount of needless irritation would be caused by balancing evenly the unofficial members and the the officials. But having regard to the fact that, in the absence of the Governor, Officer Commanding the Troops will in future administer the Government, I con- sider that it would be of advantage that he should be a member of the Legislative Council, and if he is added to it, I am willing to add one unofficial member to the unofficial bench. Who the latter should be and what special interest, if any, he should represent, I leave to the Governor to determine. I may observe, however, that the Chinese community is the element which is least represented while it is also far the most numerous, and that I should regard as valuable any step which tended to attach them more closely to the British connection, and to increase their practical interest in public affairs.

6. As regards the second point, namely, whether or not an unofficial element should be introduced into the Executive Council, I would observe that, whilst most of the larger Crown Colonies possess one or more Municipal Councils, subor- dinate to the Colonial Government, in Hongkong there is no such institution. Moreover, it seems impracticable to alter this state of things for this reason among others: that the Colony and the Municipality would be in great measure co-extensive, and it would be almost impossible to draw the line between Colonial and Municipal

matters.

This being so, in my opinion the most practical course is to recognise that the Colonial Government is discharging Municipal duties, and that on that account representatives of the citizens may fairly be given a place on the Executive.

7. I therefore propose that the Executive Council shall in future include two unofficial members to be selected at the discretion of the Governor. It is obviously desirable that they should, as a rule, be chosen from among the unofficial members of the Legislative Council, and the choice should, and no doubt will be, inspired by consideration of personal merit, and have no reference to the particular class or race to which the persons chosen belong.

8. You will receive in due course amended Royal Instructions and in the meantime this despatch may be made public with an intimation that the subject has been considered from every point of view and that iny decision is to be regarded as final.

I have the honour to be,

Governor

　　The following Report of the Committee appointed to enquire into the Question of Flogging in Victoria Gaol, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 8th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th July, 1896.

SIR,

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG, 8th July, 1896.

The undersigned, who were appointed a Committee to inquire into flogging at Victoria Gaol, have the honour to present the subjoined report.

2. The scope of the Committee was to inquire generally into the manner in which floggings are administered in the Gaol and especially as regards the cases of two prisoners No. 528 and No. 704, and further to offer any suggestions concerning the modification or improvement of the system of flogging at present in force in the Gaol.

3. The Committee met on ten occasions, and examined the following witnesses whose evidence is appended, viz. :-

LAU KAU,

Mr. CRAIG,

Dr. MARQUES,

Dr. BELL,

Mr. WILKINSON, ....

Mr. NOLAN,

Mr. THOMSON,

Mr. LETHBRIDGE,

Dr. AYRES,

Chief Warden;

....late Gaol Surgeon;

....Assistant Surgeon in charge of Gaol;

....Gaol Hospital Warder;

...Head Turnkey;

....late Acting Superintendent of Gaol ;

.Superintendent of Gaol;

Colonial Surgeon.

4. It will be convenient to divide the report into separate portions dealing with the following matters:-

I. The Rules under which floggings an 1 other punishments may be imposed. II. The cases of prisoners No. 528 and No. 704.

III. The general question of flogging.

IV. Suggestions and observations.

RULES.

5. (i) The Rules dealing with Prison Offences and Punishments are Rules 266 to 279 inclusive published in the Government Gazette of 31st October, 1891. (ii) After a careful perusal of these rules and after a close examination of Messrs. THOMSON and LETHBRIDGE, the Committee are of opinion that these rules are not so expressed as to be easy of construction.

(iii) The inquiry reveals that both the Superintendents who have been examined have put a broad construction upon the words "any act of insubordi- "nation requiring to be suppressed by extraordinary means which occur in Rule 274; and the Committee are not prepared to say that such a construction is unwarranted.

(iv) It appears that it has been usual to construe the words just quoted as vesting the Superintendent with the powers of ordering a flogging for repeated refusal to labour. Whether this construction is right or wrong depends entirely on the construction to be placed upon the wording of Rule 272, which--so far as is necessary for the present purpose--reads thus: The Superintendent may deprive any prisoner of his evening "meal for persistent and aggravated idleness, or refusal to labour."

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

If the words "persistent and aggravated" are to be taken as qualify- ing "refusal to labour" as well as "idleness,

　as well as "idleness," the Committee are of opinion that repeated refusal to labour could not be visited with flogging under Rule 274, but that, if "refusal to labour" is not qualified by the adjectives "persistent and aggravated," the Superintendents were within their powers in ordering floggings for repeated refusal to labour.

v) The Committee are further of opinion that, if the Government is advised that the phraseology of Rule 272 excludes repeated refusal to labour from the operation of Rule 274, it is desirable to include this offence amongst those punishable under Rule 274.

""

(vi) Though the Committee cannot agree with the proposition that the words any act of insubordination requiring to be suppressed by extra- ordinary means which occur in Rule 274 embrace "persistent and aggravated idleness" under Rule 272, yet they think that these words may be wide enough to include any repetition of the offences classified in Rule 270, other than those for the repetition of which punishment is already provided under Rules 272 and 274, notwithstanding that the special mention in Rule 274 of special classes of offences set forth in Rule 270 for the repetition of which special punishment is provided in Rule 274, seems to indicate that repetition of offences not so mentioned is excluded from the operation of Rule 274.

(vii) We consider that the words "any offence" near the beginning of Rule 275 are vague and should be replaced by more specific terms. They clearly do not cover the same ground as the words "any offence" in the second branch of the rule; if "any offence" in the second branch includes "any act of insubordination" in Rule 274 and the words "any act of insubordina- tion are to bear the liberal interpretation which has hitherto been placed on them, the Committee fail to understand to what "any offence" in the first branch of Rule 275 relates.

""

(viii) The Committee consider that Rule 277 should clearly state whether the corporal punishment, allowed by it, may be inflicted by the Superintendent alone or only by him in conjunction with a Visiting Justice.

Strictly construed this rule seems to be in conflict with Rule 274 defining the Superintendent's powers of flogging and with Rule 275 defining the combined powers of the Superintendent and a Visiting Justice.

Moreover, if confined to cases in which the Superintendent alone may inflict corporal punishment, it lends no assistance in the interpreta- tion of the words "any act of insubordination" occurring in Rule 274 because these words are repeated in Rule 277.

(ix) We think that the third section of Rule 277 should be divided into two

parts, as in the Convict Prison Orders referred to in Mr. LETHBRIDGE'S evidence otherwise an ambiguity exists as to whether the acts of insub- ordination and gross misconduct referred to are confined to those committed when under punishment" or not.

(x) Enough has been stated to show that the construction of these rules is not free from doubt; and though we think that the officers responsible for the management of the Gaol would have done well to ask for a declara- tion of the meaning to be placed on certain terms and rules, that the prima facie uncertainty attending their construction should have led to such action, and that it would have been better under the circumstances to have narrowed than to have. widened the scope of certain terms and rules, we do not intend to cast any reflection upon the discretion exercised by such officers in the interpretation of the rules.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

(xi) In conclusion, regarding this portion of the Report, the Committee recom- mend that the rules under criticism be re-drafted and expressed in such a manner as to leave no room for doubt as to the specific offences for which floggings may be administered either by the Superintendent alone or by the Superintendent in conjunction with a Visiting Justice ; and as it is patent that the majority of floggings are inflicted for repeated refusal to labour, the Committee further recommend that the powers of punishment relating to this offence be particularly defined.

CASES OF PRISONERS Nos. 328 AND 704.

6. (i) The original medical certificates given in the cases of prisoners Nos. 528 and 704 by the Gaol Surgeon and passing them as fit to receive the floggings to which they had been sentenced are appended (Appendix III.) and appear to be in order.

(ii) In Appendix IV. will be found certified copies put in by Mr. LETHBRIDGE of (a) the Medical Officer's report on passing these prisoners for labour; (b) their medical history; (c) the evidence taken before the second floggings were inflicted; and (d) extracts from the prison punishment book.

(iii) Prisoner No. 528 was flogged with six strokes on 21st April after repeated refusal to labour. After the flogging he was relieved from work for four days and then placed on reduced light labour for a fortnight. He was subsequently put back to No. 1 hard labour but refused to carry stones- an offence for which he was sentenced, after a joint inquiry by the Superintendent and a European Justice of the Peace, to receive twenty- four strokes.

(iv) There is no reason to think that the Medical Officer did not conscientiously believe that this prisoner was fit to receive the corporal punishment to which he was subjected; and we are satisfied that sufficient time had elapsed to allow the injurious effects of the first flogging to disappear before the second flogging was sanctioned; that every medical and surgical attention was paid that, under existing arrangements, could be paid after the prisoner had been flogged the second time; that his wounds were dressed upon his being discharged from Gaol notwith- standing the contrary statement of the prisoner himself, and that the aggravated state of his wounds when he was admitted into the Tung Wa Hospital on 13th May might to some extent be due to his own acts after leaving the Gaol.

(v) As regards prisoner No. 704 who died on the 2nd June in the Gaol Hospital of Septicemia due to wounds caused by flogging (vide Dr. BELL'S report in Appendix V.), we find that this prisoner was flogged on 18th May--a week after admission into Gaol--with six strokes for repeated refusal to labour; that he was relieved from work for three days; that he was then put on No. 1 hard labour which he refused to do; that on the 25th May he received twelve strokes, after enquiry by the Superintendent and a Chinese Visiting Justice, for such refusal, and that he was admitted to hospital on the 27th May, suffering from a gluteal abscess.

(vi) We absolve the Medical Officers concerned in the treatment of this prisoner from blame for the fatal result of the case. We believe that the Medical Officer carefully satisfied himself to the best of his ability of the fitness of the prisoner to undergo a second flogging within a week of his first flogging, and that it was not within the prescience of the Medical

627

628

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

Officer that either a gluteal abscess would form or that, upon its formation, blood poisoning would supervene. In our opinion the flogging was not the causa proxima, but merely the causa remota of the death of the prisoner.

(vii) Whilst upon these two cases the Committee beg to direct attention to (a) the small percentage of gluteal abscesses resulting from a flogging (see Table in Appendix VI.); (b) the case of prisoner No. 704 being the only known instance of death supervening within a month of a flogging which seems to point to another cause than that of the flogging as the cause of death; (c) the overcrowded state of the Gaol hospital which increases the chances of contagion and infection and predisposes especially to septic infection; (d) the fact that the Chinese prisoners lie on the floor of the hospital thus exposing themselves to greater chances of infection; and the want of expert attendants which deprives the patients of skilled nursing.

THE GENERAL QUESTION OF FLOGGING.

7. (i) Floggings may be ordered by Courts of Justice or by the Superintendent of the Gaol, or by him in conjunction with a Visiting Justice.

(ii) In Appendix VII. will be found a collation of the law which confers on the Judges and Magistrates powers of ordering flogging. By Rule 274 of the Prison Rules and Regulations published in Government Gazette of 31st October, 1891, the power of the Superintendent alone to order flogging for certain offences is limited to twelve strokes, and by Rule 275 the conjoint power of the Superintendent and of a Visiting Justice to order flogging for the same offences, if occurring in a graver form, is limited to thirty-six strokes in the case of an adult and twelve strokes in the case of a juvenile.

(iii) All floggings must be administered on the breech with a rattan of an

approved pattern.

(iv) Two rattans are in vogue particulars of which are as follows:-

weight.

length.

Rattan for adults,. ..... 40%. Rattan for juveniles,...... 23,,

46 ins.

circumference.

12 ins.

22

(v) Floggings are administered by two European officers of the Gaol staff selected for the purpose, and we have no reason to take exception to the manner in which these men perform their disagreeable duty.

(vi) We are deeply impressed with the necessity for vesting the Superintendent

with independent powers of flogging for the reasons subjoined:

(a) Because prompt punishment is, in our experience, the most

efficacious way of dealing with Chinese.

(b) Because there are but few, if any, persons of leisure in the Colony to whom resort could be had on every occasion on which it might be necessary to inflict a flogging.

(c) Because it would be an undue hardship upon busy commercial men to require their attendance at a fixed hour every day- as might be the case-to inquire into the conduct of, and to inflict punishment upon, prisoners.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

(d) Because it would not be satisfactory, on obvious grounds, that the services of an Official Visiting Justice should be sought to assist a brother officer in assessing the punishment for a prison offence.

(e) Because, owing to the large number of committed offences which incur flogging, it would be most inconvenient to adopt the English practice of holding over inquiries till the weekly visit of the Justices which is in the nature of a surprise visit.

(f) Because, if the practice of holding over the cases were adoptel, the check on prison officers supposed to be exercised by the visit of the Justices for the week would vanish, and because the inquiry would consume the better part of a working day.

(g) Because it is dangerous, in dealing with Asiatics, to give them grounds for thinking that any officer has incurred the dis- pleasure of his superiors: better dismiss the officer and maintain a wholesome system than retain the officer and weaken his position by abandoning that system.

(h) Because, if the power of flogging vested in the Superintendent is not maintained, the Chinese will erroneously ascribe the cur- tailment or abolition of the power to their past persistent refusal to labour, and will persist in refusing to labour in the future in the hopes of again obtaining an amelioration or repeal of the punishments to which they would be subject.

(vii) Had abuses resulted from the power possessed by the Superintendent, we think it highly probable that such abuses would have attracted the atten- tion of the weekly Visiting Justices; but we are unaware that any protest or comment by them on the subject is extant.

(viii) Whilst strenuously urging the preservation of the present power of the Superintendent in respect to flogging, we see no objection to the substi- tution of a birch for the rattan, and recommend that an experiment in this direction should be made, as we are not sure that the effects of the rattan on a Chinaman may not in some cases be more far reaching than the purely punitive effect striven after.

(ix) It follows from our views as to the arming of the Superintendent with independent flogging powers that we are a fortiori in favour of the main- tenance of flogging to be inflicted by order of the Superintendent and a Visiting Justice; but in this connexion we think that, if the rattan is retained, the maximum number of strokes to be inflicted at one time should not exceed twenty in any case, and we are further strongly of opinion that a system of fewer strokes more frequently imposed would prove a greater deterrent than the present system. If this view be adopted it would be necessary to amend the law conferring on Judges and Magistrates the power of ordering corporal punishment.

(x) We see no reason why it should not be made a duty of the Superintendent to attend in person at all floggings, as it is the duty of the Governor of an English gaol to do.

(xi) The Committee recommend that provision should be ma le for retaining in hospital until his wounds are healed, any prisoner laid up in consequence of a flogging whose time for discharge from Gaol falls due before he is fit to be discharged from hospital; such retention should be optional with a prisoner and in the discretion of the Medical Officer.

629

630

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

(xii) The Committee fear that the unique consequences of the juxtaposition of this Colony to the mainland of China and the Province of Kwang Tung are not always present to the minds of those responsible for regulating the criminal population in our midst.

One consequence alluded to is this, that Hongkong is the resort of Chinese fleeing from justice as administered in China--the authors of pira- cies and armed robberies who do not scruple to repeat their crimes within British jurisdiction and constitute a leaven full of active permeating evil qualities. If to this is added the presence of numerous clans speaking different dialects and ready to defend an injury to one of their numbers by armed force, it is palpable that there are elements of danger and dis- order rife in this Colony which are probably without parallel elsewhere.. Suppose that England herself were on the very borders of a country unable to control its wilder spirits and inhabited by segregated clans of varying forms of speech, and that her population consisted for the most part of an overflow of the people from the adjoining country, the regulation and punishment of such alien incursionists would take some abnormal form. And if the imprisoned portion of this alien body had been convicted of offences attended with violence, or, when in gaol, refused obedi- ence to the regulations intended to make their incarceration a deterrent from crime, we venture to say that there would be no hesitation in resorting to the only form of punishment, viz., flogging, which would be efficacious, and that the power of ordering this punish- ment would be entrusted to a limited extent to the head officer when he is made responsible for the maintenance of strict discipline, when swift punishment is the most respected and when the invocation of other counsels is for certain reasons a hardship on the consulted.

We press upon the Government our views in this regard, and trust that no action will be taken to introduce here a system prevalent else- where simply because this is a British Colony and without very careful regard to the local circumstances of the Colony.

SUGGESTIONS AND OBSERVATIONS.

8. To sum up, the Committee are of opinion-

(i) That the hospital accommodation is grossly inadequate (see Appendix VIII. as to dimensions of wards), that the hospital attendants are not suited by training for their duties and that their hours of duty are excessive;

(ii) That flogging in the Gaol should under no pretence be dispensed with, and that, in particular, the withdrawal from the Superintendent of his present power of ordering corporal punishment is to be strongly deprecated;

(iii) That a birch might be substituted for the rattan in the case of floggings ordered by the Superintendent, but that the rattan should not be abolished in other cases, it being left to the discretion of the Judges, Magistrates and the Superintendent acting in concert with a Visiting Justice, to decide whether the rattan or the birch should, with the sanction of the Medical Officer, be used in any given case;

(iv) That the number of strokes with a rattan should not exceed twenty at one

time in any case;

(v) That a system which would admit of the ordering of more floggings and fewer strokes is preferable to the present system which admits-in most cases-of only one flogging with a large number of strokes;

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

(vi) That in particular the Superintendent in conjunction with a Visiting Justice should have power in aggravated cases to order two floggings of, say,

fifteen strokes each as a maximum with an interval of not less than a lunar month between each flogging;

(vii) That definite intervals should be fixed which must elapse before one flog-

follow upon another flogging, e.g.:-

ging may

First flogging.

Interval.

6 strokes.

10 days.

21 days.

&c.

12 strokes.

&c.

with liberty to the Medical Officer to extend the interval if necessary; (viii) That prisoners sentenced by Judges and Magistrates to be flogged at the end of their term of imprisonment should receive their punishment not later than twenty-one days prior to the date of their discharge from Gaol; (ix) That all floggings are administered ouly after proper medical examination and certification of fitness; are inflicted by authorised instruments and in every other way in accordance with the Gaol regulations;

(x) That prisoners receive due attention from the Medical Officer after a

flogging;

(xi) That the death of prisoner No. 704 within eight days after receiving the second flogging, though greatly to be deplored, was not directly due to the flogging he received, but was probably due to causes over which, under existing arrangements, the Medical Officer had no control;

(xii) That the blood poisoning which caused the death of prisoner No. 704 might have been the result of the absorption of germs whilst under treatment in the overcrowded and cramped hospital;

(xiii) That this case, being the first fatal case within living memory, goes to establish the conclusion that flogging with the rattan is not a punishment peculiarly perilous in its infliction on Chinese;

(xiv) That in the case of prisoner No. 528, there is sufficient ground for con- cluding that the aggravated state of his wounds might have been caused to some extent by his own conduct after his discharge from Gaol, and no sufficient ground for concluding that it was solely due to the manner in which he was flogged; nor do we think that the flogging- even if it did produce such results-must of necessity have been a brutal flogging;

(xv) That the formation of gluteal abscesses is a rare exception and a mere

accident, not a necessary consequence, of a flogging;

(xvi) That the rules and regulations governing prison offences and punish-

ments require to be re-drafted;

(xvii) That any misinterpretation of these rules and regulations that may have occurred is due to the difficulty attendant on the construing of them;

(xviii) That this misinterpretation, if any, has not been confined to the Super- intendent, but has been shared in by the majority of the Visiting Justices;

(xix) That for any such misinterpretation, no blame attaches to either the

Superintendent or the Visiting Justices ;

;

631

632

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

(xx) That a flogged prisoner whose wounds are unhealed at the date of his discharge from Gaol should have the option of remaining in the Gaol hospital or of being treated in the Government Civil Hospital;

(xxi) That the latter alternative is the preferable one, because it will relieve

the congested state of the Gaol hospital ;

(xxii) That prisoners sentenced for felony and for the graver misdemeanours

such as perjury, certain assaults, false pretences, etc., to a term of imprisonment exceeding six months, should be liable to have their queues cut off for repeated offences in Gaol, provided that no queue shall be cut off within the three months next preceding the date of discharge from Gaol ;

(xxiii) That it is advisable that the evidence in all cases of inquiry preceding the infliction of any punishment or at least in cases in which the Superin- tendent, either by himself or in conjunction with a Justice of the Peace, orders flogging, should be taken on oath and in writing, and kept on record;

(xxiv) That the absence, so far as is known, of any protest by the Visiting Justices against either the power of the Superintendent or of the Super- intendent and a Justice of the Peace to order floggings, or the mode in which that power is exercised, indicates that the system in vogue, if not directly approbated, has not been reprobated by the Visiting Justices;

(xxv) That this acquiescence on the part of the Unofficial Visiting Justices indicates that the leading business men in the Colony are not opposed to the continuance of the present methods;

(xxvi) That there is nothing in the physique of an ordinary Chinaman to unfit

him to bear a flogging ;

(xxvii) That this conclusion is strengthened by the fact that castigation in severer forms, viz., by the use of a bamboo and of a wooden stick, is com- monly practised on the mainland of China;

(xxviii) That the number of floggings is no indication of an unusual exercise by the Superintendent of his power to flog, but rather points to the frequent unruly behaviour of the prisoners and is a reason for preserving to the Superintendent his present power;

(xxix) That the proportion of floggings to prisoners in Gaol, which for the past ten years has varied from 1 in 25 to 1 in 10 shows that the number of floggings is relatively small and that the number of prisoners flogged is relatively still smaller if it be recollected that it often occurs that the same prisoner is flogged more than once;

(xxx) That the abnormal ratio of 1 in 10 attained in 1895 is shewn by Mr.

THOMSON'S evidence to have been due to an abnormal state of things;

(xxxi) That the occurrence of such a state of things and the possibility of its recurrence strengthen the plea that it would be unwise to divest the Superintendent of his present summary powers of ordering a flog- ging;

(xxxii) That the worse behaviour of Chinese prisoners here compared with the behaviour of prisoners in English gaols as testified to by Mr. Craig, Chief Warden, who has had experience of both classes of prisoners, accounts for any difference in the ratio that may exist in the case of Home prisons and in the case of the local prison ;

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

(xxxiii) That the treadmill as already provided for in the Rules should be resorted

to as a form of hard labour;

(xxxiv) That a fresh rattan should be used at every flogging;

(xxxv) That the Magistrates should have extended powers of ordering floggings up to twelve strokes, in lieu of other forms of punishment, in cases of larceny, assaults, riotous and disorderly conduct, etc., etc.

RESERVATIONS BY DR. ATKINSON.

1. Referring to paragraph 7, sub-section ix, and paragraph 8, sub-sections iv. and vi., I am of opinion that no flogging should exceed six strokes at any one time. My reason for this is that a greater number is liable to seriously injure the prisoner and incapacitate him from working for a lengthened period, whilst if only six strokes are administered at one time no serious injury can accrue under ordinary circumstances and the culprit will be able to resume the ordinary Prison labour within a day or so of their administration.

2. I am of opinion that paragraph 8, sub-section vii., should be omitted altogether, as it is within the province of the Surgeon to the Gaol to determine when a prisoner is in a fit state to receive a second flogging.

3. I am also of opinion that paragraph 8, sub-section xiv., should be amended as

follows:-

That in the case of prisoner No. 528, there is sufficient ground for "concluding that the aggravated state of his wounds might have "been caused to some extent by his own actions after his discharge "from Gaol, and no sufficient ground for concluding that it was "solely due to the manner in which he was flogged."

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 253.

The following Report of the Committee appointed to enquire into the condition of British Trade in Hongkong, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 8th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th July, 1896.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretury.

REPORT,

1.---The Committee, appointed by His Excellency the Governor, in response to an inquiry from the Secretary of State asking whether there had been any and what dis- placement of British goods in this market, held their first sitting on the 29th February, and have since met thirteen times and taken the evidence of fourteen witnesses, which evidence has been supplemented by information gathered by the Secretary. A careful consideration of the whole has enabled the Committee to arrive at the conclusions given. hereunder.

2. At the outset the Committee were confronted with the difficulty that, Hongkong being a free port, precise returns of trade cannot be made up in this Colony owing to the absence of any statistics of imports and exports (with the single exception of opium). The Committee have therefore limited their investigations to ascertaining where there has been displacement of British goods in this market by foreign manufactures, to what extent this displacement has been effected, and to what causes it has been due.

3.-It is apparent from the evidence that the displacement of British goods has been going on steadily for some years, but it has not been on a strikingly large scale nor have many great staples been very seriously affected. There are instances, how- ever, in which the British manufacture has been entirely ousted by foreign goods, as in the cases of Llama Braids and Aniline Dyes, while others, such as Spanish Stripes and Broad Cloths, have been in great measure replaced by similar goods imported from Germany.

4.-In other cases, again, there have been attempts to cut into British trade in smaller wares, sometimes by foreign imitations, with, however, often only a qualified or temporary success. These articles were represented by Hosiery, Lamps, Paper, Um- brellas, Rubber Shoes, Soaps, Biscuits, Beer, Locks, Files, Needles, Cutlery, etc., in which Germany and Japan are the principal competitors with England.

5. There has been a serious falling off in the imports of Metals from Great Britain, notably in that of Yellow Metal, which formerly was exclusively imported from thence. It is estimated that only about half the import of this Metal now comes from British makers, the inferior German metal being greatly aided by the lower rate of freight payable from German ports. The same remarks apply to the trade in Bar Iron, Nail Rod, and Scrap Iron, most of which is now imported from Belgium, the productions of which country are helped by cheaper cost of production and lower freights from Ant- werp. Pig Lead, which formerly was imported from England and Germany, now comes almost exclusively from Australia on account of lower cost of production.

The Committee are conscious it may be objected to the foregoing paragraph, that a portion of the evidence does not bear out the statement that dead weight cargo shipped direct from Great Britain arrives here at a disadvantage in freight compared with that shipped from Continental ports. The Committee were constrained, nevertheless, to accept the balance of evidence, which unmistakeably points to the conclusion arrived at; and, to more clearly elucidate the point, some tabulated examples of actual shipments have been obtained.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JULY, 1896.

　6.The trade in Arms and Ammunition and Gunpowder is monopolised by Continental manufacturers, owing to the much cheaper prices at which they can lay them down on this market.

　7.--Certain branches of trade, such as those in Wire Nails and Window Glass, have always been in Belgian hands, the prices charged being apparently beyond the competition of all other producers. Not so, however, the trade in Candles, which has been completely wrested from England by Belgian makers, this being to a great extent due to superior packing.

　8.-The competition of Japan is only just commencing, but it promises to prove serious later on. Already the Japanese have secured almost a monopoly of the trade in Cotton Waste, Washing Soda, and Sulphuric Acid; they are competing in Cotton Goods, Paper, Ship's Lamps, and cheap substitutes for Cretonnes, Blankets, Towels, Soaps, etc. Among other items, they are exporting really well made Cotton Half Hose fifty per cent. below the cost of similar goods from Germany; and their Cement, though inferior in quality, is cheaper than any European cement that can be imported, compet- ing even with the local product, which has the advantage of paying no freight or marine insurance.

　9. The causes to which the displacement of British Goods in this market are to be assigned may be briefly stated :-

1.-Lower cost of production of rival foreign goods.

2. Disinclination of British manufacturers to study taste of consumer.

3.-The steadily falling value of silver since 1873.

4.- Lower freights outwards from foreign as compared with British ports.

5.-Cheaper railway transit to foreign ports of shipment.

The last two named causes apply more especially to metals and heavy goods, and No. 4, the Committee regret to say, is due to the action of the Shipping Conference (consisting chiefly of British steam-ship owners) which, while maintaining freights from British ports, carry cargo at a much lower rate from Continental and American ports, thus giving foreign manufactures a virtual subsidy in their competition with British products.

In this connection the Committee wish to make special reference to the advantages conferred on American Cotton Piece Goods in the China market by the rates of freight charged by the Conference steamers from New York to Hongkong and Shanghai, which average from 25/- to 30/- per ton as compared with 57/6 from London and Liverpool outwards. The same remarks apply to the shipment of machinery from the United States to China, the freight for which is about forty per cent. lower than that from British ports.

In considering this phase of the subject the question seems to arise how far the Imperial Government would be justified in requiring of the Conference a modification of their tariff before continuing a subsidy or other support to any shipping company which is a party to a compact that places British manufacturers at a disadvantage with foreign

rivals.

　10.-The Committee, moreover, feel bound to record their conviction that several of the witnesses were indisposed to speak freely on this subject of the Shipping Confer- ence; and they are of opinion that it is a question of such paramount importance to British Trade that it might fittingly form the subject of a searching investigation on the part of the Home Government.

　11.-The Committee are satisfied that, apart from this preference to foreign cargo, shown by Conference steamers, the competition encountered by British goods is for the most part a fair business competition. There are occasional infringements of British Trade Marks and more frequent imitations of British goods by Continental makers, but in the majority of cases the imitation is sold as such on its merits, and in some instances

the foreign producers strike out new lines for themselves, and from small beginnings evolve a considerable trade. While the British merchant or agent in Hongkong appears to be well on the alert, and to very efficiently represent the Home manufacturer, the latter seems too often reluctant to alter his styles and methods, does not care to make a present sacrifice for future profit, and is apt to neglect small openings for a new trade. This is in marked contrast to the untiring efforts of foreign makers to study the market and adapt their goods to the requirements of the consumer.

12. Turning to a consideration of the transit trade of the Colony, which the Committee take to mean the transhipment of goods here for the neighbouring countries, Japan, Siam, Indo-China, the Philippines, Netherlands Indies, etc., this trade exhibits a tendency to increase on the whole, with the present exception of that with Indo- China, which has latterly shown a decline. This decline is due to the high preferential duties recently imposed by our French neighbours, the effects of which are visible in the falling off in the export of Yarns and British manufactured goods to Saigon and Tonkin.

13. When the provisions of the new Treaty with Japan come into force a most serious decline is expected to ensue in the export hence of refined sugar to that country under the revised tariff, and it is feared that this, the chief industry of the Colony, which has already been very adversely affected, may perhaps be permanently injured. Had the Hongkong Government been consulted before the alteration of the tariff was decided upon,

　it is probable some adjustment of the duties less unfavourable to this Colony might have been arrived at, and this important industry saved the check it must presently meet.

14. Whilst the words "The Transit Trade of Hongkong" are perhaps not intended to directly include the conduct of trade with the interior of China, yet the Committee feel it within the scope of their inquiry to point out here that this Transit Trade would be largely benefited and increased, were the Transit Pass system allowed by the Native Authorities in South China to work in accordance with the Treaty re- quirements. Unfortunately, ever since the signature of the Treaty of Tientsin, Article XXVIII. of which confers this Transit Pass privilege on British subjects, the officials in South China have steadfastly and persistently sought to render it a dead letter, and so far their success has been most complete. If the Transit Pass system be enforced, and the inland waterways of the Two Kwang provinces be opened to foreign trade and steamer navigation, as the result of negotiations now proceeding, there is every reason to believe that a marked increase in British trade will soon be apparent.

15.- Another subject not perhaps strictly within the scope of the present inquiry, but which has come before the Committee incidentally, and is closely associated with the British shipping trade, is that of the impediments placed in the way of British ships obtaining their fair share of the Chinese passenger traffic at certain of the neighbouring outports. This is due to their having to conform strictly to the regulations of the Chinese Passengers' Act, 1855, whereas foreign steamers are subject to no such regulations, and can in consequence carry double, or treble, the number of passengers permitted under the Act to a British vessel. Much lucrative trade is thus completely closed to British ships. The Committee therefore deprecate further legislation in the direction of making these passenger regulations more stringent, as the effect can only be to still more heavily handicap British Tonnage on the China Coast and lead to its supercession by Conti- nental steamers.

　The following notices have been issued by Mr. FIGG, during the month :- On the 6th at 10.35 a, "A depression exists to the E. of Luzon.' At 11.15 a., "Since yesterday the barometer has fallen rapidly in Luzon and the depression is probably advancing in a Westerly direction at present. High pressure still covers Japan but a quick fall of the barometer has taken place on the East Coast of China, probably owing to a depression over North China." Forecast:-, "moderate E. winds; squally and showery. Increasing NE winds in the N. part of the China Sea

　　　On the 7th at 10 45 a., "Depression WSW of Bolinao probably moving rather quickly towards WNW." Red South Cone hoisted. At 11.20 a., "The depression crossed S. Luzon yesterday and entered the China Sea. Strong SE winds were experienced at Bolinao last night. The barometer is now rising at that station but is falling on the China Coast and in W. Japan. The depression in N. China seems to be moving towards East." Forecast:-" moderate NE and E winds, probably increasing considerably; unsettlel, squally an I showery. Strong N to E winds in the N. part of the

On the 7th at 6.15 p. Black South Cone hoisted. "The depression, about 300 miles to the On the 8th at 10.45 a., "The SSE of Hongkong, appears to be moving towards NW at present." area comprised by strong winds in the depression to the S. of Hongkong, appears to be small at present. At 11.15 a, "The barometer has continued to fall quickly on the S. and SE coasts of China, but has risen at Shanghai in rear of the depression in the North. At Bolinao there is little change. Pressure now exceeds the normal by about 0.05 inch at Shanghai, but is in defect to the extent of about 0.1 inch at Hongkong and Bolinao. Gradients for NE winds are becoming steeper on the China Coast." Forecast: moderate NE winds, freshening; unsettled, showery and squally." On the 9th at 6.0 a. Black South Cone lowered. At 11.15 a., "There are no longer any indi- cations of a cyclonic depression to the Southward of Hongkong. The barometer has fallen on the SE coast of China but is almost steady in Hongkong. Pressure continues considerably below the normal Forecast:-"mo- along the S. and SE. coasts and, apparently, in the N. part of the China Sea.' derate SW winds; unsettled, thunderstorms probable."

The depression indicated above made its appearance very suddenly, conditions as to pressure being normal on the 5th both at Bolinao and Manila. The barometer however was, and had been for the two or three previous days, high over Japan and the East coast of China. The following readings, which are the mean of the observations telegraphed to this Observatory in the morning and afternoon, show the pressure conditions prevailing on the 5th; Tokio 30.16, Nagasaki 30.13, Shanghai 30.06, Hongkong 29.93, Manila 29.86. Pressure on the 5th was thus normal at the latter station and abote the average, in Hongkong about 0.1 inch, at Shanghai 0.25 inch and tn Japan about 0.3 inch. The distribution of pressure thus favoured the prevalence of NE and E winds over the Pacific area and along the China coast. On the Western side of the China Sea the marine data show that winds were generally light and variable between lat. 20° and the Equator and therefore that SW monsoon did not prevail in the SW part of the Sea; but in the SE part we have no information. On board the S.S. Sungkiang, lying in Manila Bay, gentle W and WSW breezes were experienced and the ship Conqueror had moderate ENE breezes with barometer 29.94 at noon, in 17° 52', 126° 04'.

The

Between the evening of the 5th and the morning of the 6th the barometer fell rapidly at Manila and Accord- at 10 a. on the latter date read 29.73, i.e., a full of nearly 0.2 inch during the past 24 hours. ing to observations made on board the Sungkiang, lying in that port, moderate NW breezes, accom- panied by heavy rain, were experienced during the morning, veering to E by N force 6 at 2 p. lowest barometer reading, 29.60, was made at 3 p. with the wind at E by S force 6 and still veering. These observations indicate that the centre passed at a short distance to the South of the port near 2 p. morning in a WNW direction.

Pressure remained high over Japan on the 6th, but was giving way on the China coast particu- larly at Shanghai. We have Tokio 30.18, Nagasaki 30.11, Shanghai 29.89 and Hongkong 29.90. Winds were still light and variable on the Western side of the China Sea and the S.S. Yuensang off the W coast of Luzon, steering for Manila, had only light breezes from NE by E with sky partially clouded during the morning; but the barometer was falling rather quickly. At noon in 15°53', 119° 43′ the barometer read 29.66 and calm prevailed with gloomy weather. Subsequently the centre passed over the ship. At 4 p. the barometer read 29.55 with NE 4, but the mercury, then descended rapidly reaching its lowest point, 29.25, at 6.20 p., the wind being at this time a fresh gale from NE accompanied by rain squalls. The barometer then commenced to rise with only light airs, at first from E and afterwards from S, until after 6.45 p. The sky remained overcast, rain was falling and the sea, which had hitherto been moderate, was rapidly getting worse during the interval of calm. At 7 p. the wind came again from the W, a strong gale, which increased to a storm from SW at 8 p., the barometer having in the meantime risen quickly to 29 54. The wind backed to SSW and S by W but continued to blow a fierce gale until after midnight when it decreased slowly with the direction backing towards S. From 6 p. until midnight the vessel was steered westward at a speed of 6 miles per hour, the course being then altered to SSW and afterwards to E. This man?uvre between 6 p. and midnight was, of course, calculated to keep the vessel near the centre, but as she was close to the coast it was necessary to get an offing and could not be avoided. It will be observed that the winds experienced on board the Yuensang were comparatively light to the N. of the centre; but this was probably due, in part at least, to the shelter afforded by the coast.

On the 7th the high pressure still covered E. Japan but the barometer had fallen much in W. Japan and on the China coast, while it had risen rapidly in Luzon-We have Tokio 30.22, Nagasaki The decrease of pressure in the North 29.93, Shanghai 29 74, Hongkong 29.77 and Manila 29.86. was caused by a low pressure area traversing N. China. Around the China Sea winds were as follows:-light or gentle breezes chiefly from an E direction along the S. coast of China, light SE and S breezes at Bolinao, and light or moderate S and SW breezes of the Annam and Cochin China coasts, The S.S. Esmeralda was nearest to the centre which the barometer reading about 29.85 in 10°, 110°.

may have been situated at noon in about 17°, 115. This vessel was in 19° 26′, 116° 48′ at noon, steering for Hongkong. She was thus some 150 miles to the NNE of the centre at noon when the barometer read 29.70, inclined to fall, the wind being a fresh E breeze backing to NE accompanied by overcast sky and confused sea. The ship Savona, distant 250 miles to the SW of the centre, had a moderate WSW breeze, and the captain of the ship Conqueror reports a moderate SSE breeze at about the same distance to the NE by E of the centre the barometer reading 29.74. On board this vessel,

which was steering towards Hongkong, the wind rose to a fresh gale from ESE during the evening, the barometer falling to 29.68. Generally the observations indicate that the disturbance had com- menced to move in a N direction during the evening of this day.

On the 8th the northern depression was situated in the N part of the Sea of Japan. The barometer had fallen much in Japan but was rising at Shanghai. On the S and SE coasts of China pressure had decreased quickly and the barometer was also inclined to fall again at Bolinao. Light airs and breezes chiefly from S prevailed at this station. Except at Swatow, where a moderate E breeze blew at midday, winds were light chiefly from an E and S direction between Hongkong and Foochow, but a report kindly furnished by Mr. A. W. BAIN shows that strong S winds blew at Anping (S. Formosa) during the day with a tremendous sea on the bar. From observations made on board the ship Conqueror and the S.S. Oanfa we see that the centre of the depression was probably situated near the position 20°, 117 at noon. The former vessel was situated in 19° 31', 115° 51', at this hour. During the morning hours they had experienced a strong E backing to NE gale with very heavy sea and hard rain squalls. The barometer read 29.52 at 3 a. Towards 8 a. the wind had backed to N.W and the weather cleared up, the barometer having risen to 29.64 at noon. At 4 p. the wind was from W of force 4. The Oanfa steering SSW and in 21° 12′, 116° 13′ at noon. barometer 29.69, had moderate breezes from ESE at 8 a., from NE at noon and from Wat 4 p. The weather was squally and a rough S swell was felt at 8 a. Moderate S and SW breezes blew off the Annam and Cochin

China coasts, the barometer reading 29.81 in 14°, 110°.

These observations show that the depression had completely recurved between the 7th and 8th and also indicate that the area of strong winds was exceedingly small. The depression would seem to have moved towards S. Formosa. At Anping the wind changed to NE during the evening, and Mr. BAIN's observations show that the barometer fell 0.1 inch between 8 p. and midnight. The S.S. Kalgan, which had left Anping at midday for shelter at the Pescadores, experienced a NNW veering to NE gale at Makung harbour with lowest barometer near 2 a of the 9th.

The observations, however, are insufficient to say whether the disturbance passed out into the Pacific by S. Formosa or whether it became diffused and existed next day, the 9th, as a diffused disturbance lying about the S. entrance to the Formosa Channel. On the 9th the barometer remained low along the S coast of China and in the Formosa Channel, winds being moderate from SW in the neighbourhood of Hongkong and from E at the Channel stations and the weather generally squally with thunderstorms.

On the 25th at 11.30 a., A well-marked fall of the barometer has occurred in Luzon and a slight fall on the China Coast. Pressure is now rather above the normal at Shanghai, and about 0.1 inch in defect in Luzon and, apparently, over the middle part of the China Sea." Forecast:-"light or moderate SE winds; squally with thunder showers."

　　　On the 26th at 11.25 a., "Pressure remains somewhat low over the middle part of the China Sea, with scarcely any change in the height of the barometer either in Luzon or on the S. coast of China." Forecast:-"light or moderate SE winds; squally and showery.'

On the 27th at 11.20 a., "The barometer has risen on the China Coast and at Bolinao, but at Forecast:--"fresh to Haiphong there is no change. Pressure appears to be low near S. Hainan." moderate SE winds; squally and showery to fair."

66

　　　On the 27th at 4.50 p. Bad weather prevails between Annam and Hainan." On the 28th at 11.25 a. "The barometer has risen around the China ea, fallen at Shanghai. Pressure, however, is still low about the S. part of the Tongking Gulf." Forecast:-"fresh or moderate SE to S winds; squally and showery, but fine at intervals. Strong SW and S winds off the Annam and Hainan

coasts.

""

　　　The slightly low pressure indicated in the foregoing remarks existed on the 25th as a trough between SW and NE winds lying across the China Sea in about 14° Lat.. On the 26th the trough was in a somewhat higher latitude, viz., 15°. On the 27th pressure had increased on the China coast and in Luzon, the lowest pressure extending from the Paracels into Tongking. The isobars were now closed on the Eastern side of this low pressure and two or three vessels experienced strong breezes to fresh gales from SE. off the coast of Hainan, fresh SW winds prevailing off the Annam coast. On the 28th pressure had increased at Haiphong, although it seems to have been still some- what defective in southern Tongking, but on the 29th conditions were again normal. The high pressure area to the E of Formosa had spread Westward during these days.

HARBOUR MASTER'S REPORT FOR 1895.

HARBOUR DEPARTMENT. HONGKONG, 26th February, 1896.

　　SIR, I have the honour to forward the Annual Returns for this Department for the year ending 31st December, 1895.

I. Number, Tonnage, Crews, and Cargoes of Vessels entered.

II. Number, Tonnage, Crews, and Cargoes of Vessels cleared.

XIV. Junks (Local Trade) cleared.

XV. Summary of Arrivals and Departures of all Vessels.

XVI. Vessels registered.

XX. Marine Magistrate's Court.

XXI. Diagram of Tonnage of Vessels entered.

SHIPPING.

　　2. The total tonnage entering and clearing amounted to 15,632,113 tous, an increase of 1,383,443 tons over the previous year.

　　3. There were 36,908 arrivals with a tonnage of 7,827,398 tons, and 36,853 departures of 7,804,715 tons.

　　4. The increase in European constructed tonnage amounted to 1,056,404, of this a large proportion is to be found under the British flag, partly owing to a new river steamer, the Wing Tong, which during the year made 114 round trips and thus accounted for 21,888 tons, partly to the transfer to the British flag during the year of certain vessels usually flying the "Dragon flag;" but 638,631 tons of this increase, (or 8%), represented bona fide increased British tonnage.

　　5. An increase of 245,163 tons is found under foreign flags, chiefly German. Here again the temporary transfer of the ships of the belligerents plays an important part, but here again 147,249 tons, (or 5%), are represented in the more direct manner.

　　6. The junk trade also shows a very satisfactory increase of 201,576 tons in the Foreign trade, and 125,463 tons in the local trade; about 86,000 tons of the former is owing to an additional departmental regulation, the remaining 115,000 tons, however, represents increased trade.

8. It is an interesting statistical fact that the total tonnage entering and clearing at Hongkong last year (exclusive of local trade) exceeded the 1894 tonnage entering and clearing at London (exclusive of coasting trade) by 775,706 tons, also that, excluding our junk trade altogether, the tonnage entering and clearing in 1895 exceeded the 1894 tonnage at Liverpool (exclusive of coasting trade) by 1,036,008 tons, and at Cardiff by 1,047,195 tons; while at Hongkong in 1895, British tonnage alone exceeded the British and Foreign tonnage (exclusive of coasting trade) at Newcastle (the next port in the United Kingdom) by 3,641,524 tons.

9. The actual number of ships of European construction, exclusive of river steamers, which entered the Port during the year was 586, being 336 British and 250 Foreign. They entered in the aggregate 3,051 times making a total collective tonnage of 4,114,403 tons as under :--

　　　12. 4,450 Steamers, 96 sailing vessels and 26,554 junks entered during the year, giving a daily average of 85 vessels as against 75 in 1894. (It is worthy of note that on one occasion during the year, viz., at 10 a.m. 5th April there were in the harbour 241 trading vessels, viz.:-69 steamers, 8 sailing vessels and 164 junks.)

IV

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

13. For European constructed vessels the average daily entry would be 12.45 as against 11.57 in 1894, and of the steamers arriving 73.5 % were British including all the river steamers of which the daily entries averaged 4.09.

14. Having been absent from the Colony for about 6 months of the year under review I am not in a position to offer any gencral remarks as to the influences at work during the period as they appear from the Shipping Returns to affect the general trade of the Colony. It would seem, however, that these influences, whatever they may have been, were disposed favourably towards us.

15. The March quarter of the year showed a net increase over the same period of 1894 in trade as represented by tonnage of 1,333 tons.

The half-year increased this to 224,371 tons.

The nine months ending 30th September brought it up to 845,203, and

The year resulted in an increased tonnage credit of 1,383,443.

18. This Department has now, at an infinite amount of trouble and pains on the part of the officers concerned, succeeded (to an extent limited only by the reliability of the information afforded on application) in producing statistics usually only found at ports which have the advantage for this purpose of a Custoin House, and as I remarked on a former occasion I hope the information may be valued in proportion to the amount of time and trouble expended in its compilation.'

19. During the year 9,989 European constructed vessels aggregating 11,525,586 carried 6,569,988 tons, made up as follows:-

Exported 1,551,184 tons of cargo, and shipped 366,060 tons of bunker coal. Compared with last year. this gives 188 ships more, measuring 498,242 tons, carrying 46,374 more tons of cargo, and shipping 32,809 more tons of bunker coal.

23. European constructed vessels imported 1,232,221 tons in excess of exports. Junks exported an excess of 451,691 tons. The excess of imports is thus reduced to 780,530 tons, from this must be deducted 366,060 tons of bunker coal shipped (exclusive of that supplied to Her Majesty's ships and foreign men-of-war), leaving a balance of 414,470 tons consumed, manufactured and in stock in the Colony or unaccounted for.

24. The river steamers, aggregating 3,314,090 tons, imported 134,274 tons of cargo, exported 111,823 tons, shipped 21,810 tons of bunker coal, and conveyed 928,825 passengers, showing an increase under each heading except passengers," the number of whom carried was reduced by 113,133 for the year.

　　　34. During the year 105 permits were issued (exclusive of 42 issued free during the coolie strike) under the provisions of the Ordinance; of these 28 were not availed of owing to its being found unneces sary for the ship to work cargo on the Sunday, and the fee paid for the permit was refunded in each

case.

35. 29 Permits were issued free of charge to Mail Steamers.

　　　36. The Revenue collected under this heading was $11,600; this was $1,775 less than in 1894, but nearly 50% more than in any other year since the Ordinance came into force.

43. During the year the Lighthouses have been maintained as usual. The Principal Light- keeper returned from leave; and on the expiration of their 3 years' agreement, the Gap Rock Light- keepers were permanently engaged on the Fixed Establishment.

44. Advantage was taken of the presence of Mr. MATTHEWS (of the firm of Messrs. COODE SON & MATTHEWS) at Colombo to engage his services for a report on the Gap Rock Lighthouse and buildings more especially with reference to the damage sustained by these in the typhoon of 1893. A visit was paid to the Rock and Mr. MATTHEWS furnished the Government with his opinion.

VIII

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

45. On the 8th April the S.S. Polyphemus went on shore on Jubilee Island during a fog. From the evidence advanced at the Court of Inquiry it was shown that she must have passed within about a mile of the Gap Rock while the fog signal was going without hearing it.

Investigation with regard to the audibility of the signal was afterwards made by me and the result reported in my letter of 30th April, 1895.

During my absence on leave the "High Explosives" sound signal was abolished in favour of the old-fashioned gun signal.

46. Telegraphic and telephonic communication has been kept up with the Gap Rock and Cape D'Aguilar during the year. From the former station 488 vessels have been reported as passing and in addition 294 messages were received and 2,199 sent including the daily weather report for the Observatory.

From D'Aguilar 968 vessels were reported and in addition 348 messages were sent and 75 received 47. From the 9th of June the telegraph at Gap Rock has been worked by the Light-keepers in accordance with the recommendation of the Signalling Committee, and 2 Chinese have been engaged as watchmen.

2. Freedom from typhoons and release from the great amount of work in contending with the caterpillar plague which characterised the previous year permitted greater attention being given to the general work of the department.

3. Although the production of revenue is not an object aimed at in conducting the work of this department, receipts gradually increase year by year. The work involved in connection with the sale of plants and forestry products, and additional work imposed in office routine, necessitates a propor- tionate contraction of work in other branches, as the staff remains stationary.

4. The total revenue for the year was :--

From Plant Sales,

"?

Loan of Decoration Plants, Forestry Products,

...

$649.75

128.00

657.97

$1,435.72

This money being paid into the general revenue account of the Colony means that, so far as the Gardens are concerned, the more money that is expended in the propagation and cultivation of plants for sale and loan the less is that available for ordinary maintenance of the Gardens.

BOTANIC GARDEN.

MUSICAL PErformances.

5. The Bands of the Rifle Brigade and the Hongkong Regiment were kindly allowed by their respective Colonels and Officers to play in the Gardens from 9.30 to 11 p.m. on moonlight evenings during the summer.

The number of visitors averaged about 2,000 on each night. Although about five constables were in attendance the visitors were not always confined as closely to the walks as desirable, and mischievous people took advantage of the opportunity to damage property to some extent, and thieves to steal plants.

HOT-WATER APPARATUS.

6. My recommendation in paragraph 12 of the Annual Report for 1894 that the glass-houses should be artificially heated in the cold season has been adopted. A boiler and four-inch diameter iron pipes were obtained from England and fitted before the beginning of the cold season. Houses and pits aggregating about 240 feet in length were fitted with two rows of piping. The whole apparatus has worked perfectly and provided exactly the heat required. Fires were used on 74 days and nights, for which five tons of coal were consumed at a cost of $37.78.

GARDEN SEATS.

7. A new lot of iron and teakwood seats of a more elegant pattern than the old wooden ones were provided in order to accommodate about 200 more visitors. The walks on the terraces are now as well furnished with seats as they can be without being a disfigurement to their surroundings.

DISTRIBUTION AND INTERCHANGE OF PLANTS AND SEEDS, &c.

8. The receipts were 1,534 plants, and 22 lbs. of seeds, in 387 packages and one wardian case, and 11 birds. The chief donors were:-

PLANT SALES.

10. The receipts amounted to $649.75, being an increase of $147.99 over those of 1894. The number of plants sold was 3,057, being an increase of 719 over the previous year's sales.

LOAN OF PLANTS.

11. The number of plants lent was 2,560, for which $128 was received. In the last clear year when plants were lent free of charge upwards of 4,000 were lent. When the charge of 5 cents per plant was fixed it was based on a calculation of the cost of growing the plants, and of the number of times which they had been applied for when they were lent free. The receipts for the diminished demand do not cover the cost of growing the plants.

RAINFALL.

12. The year 1895 was one of an unusually small rainfall. At the Gardens only 53-55 inches were recorded, being 45 45 inches less than in 1893. July was the only month when the rainfall exceeded 7 inches. The daily returns are given in appendix A.

HERBARIUM AND LIBRARY.

　　13. The Rev. Father E. BODINIER presented 19 specimens of Hongkong plants collected by him- self which were not in the herbarium, some of them being new discoveries in this island.

14. A collection of 300 specimens of plants was obtained by purchase from Japan.

15. The number of specimens mounted and incorporated in the general and Hongkong collec- tions was 420.

16. I have compiled a classified Catalogue of Books, &c., in the library, and it is now in the hands of the printer. Besides placing the books on official record this catalogue will greatly facilitate

FORESTRY.

PLANTING.

18. The total number of trees planted was 55,664. They were placed in various localities extending from Pokfoolam Road in the west to Mt. Parker in the east, and Stanley in the south. The largest number in one place was at Stanley, in the vicinity of which 14,000 were planted. South of Quarry Bay stands next in order with 10,000 trees. In 1894 the pine trees near Quarry Bay sustained greater damage from the plague of caterpillars than trees in any other locality. Those planted to replace the losses consist of eight kinds, no pines being included.

19. The road between Aberdeen and Little Hongkong, which is unshaded almost throughout its entire length, has been planted on its margins with shade trees. The Pokfoolam Road, also, has received similar attention where required.

20. The usual statistics of planting are given in Appendix B.

THINNING OF PLANTATIONS AND SALE OF FORESTRY PRODUCTS.

21. Portions of plantations in about 14 localities were thinned.

22. The total amount realised for forestry products was $657.97. The statistics are given in Appendix C.

!

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. XXXIII

PROTECTIVE SERVICE.

23. Protection has become rather more difficult than formerly owing to the commission of depredations being conducted at early hours in the morning and late in evening when it is supposed the forest guards have not arrived on or have left their beats. This has necessitated the adoption of special precautions to deal with the evil. The punishments inflicted by the Magistrates are, I fear, in most cases, far from sufficiently deterrent. A 25-cents fine, or its equivalents of detention in Gaol-- the latter especially-is, probably, hardly regarded as a punishment.

24. About 1,100 trees were cut down by law-breakers in 1895, being an increase of 500 over the number for 1894.

25. The forest guards obtained 72 convictions, against 92 convictions in the previous year. The fines were $89.75 as compared with $145 in 1894. The highest fine was $5 and the lowest 25 cents.

In the previous year the highest was $25 and the lowest $1.

FIRES.

26. There were 51 grass fires during the year, and 14,913 trees destroyed by them. The largest fire was at Little Hongkong where upwards of 9,000 trees were burnt.

27. At Repulse Bay six coolies were arrested by a Sikh constable for setting fire to grass, which destroyed 650 trees, while they were conducting ancestral worship at graves.

Each man was fined

$10.

28. Statistics of grass fires are recorded in Appendix D.

CATERPILLARS.

(Eutricha punctata, Walk.)

29. Vigilant observations were maintained for the detection of the re-appearance of caterpillars; early in April they were found in very small numbers in Hongkong in all the districts, except near Chaiwan, where they occurred in such vast numbers in 1894. Hand-picking was commenced on May 25th, and by June 14th all which could be found had been collected and destroyed, the total weight being only 38 catties.

In Kowloon, however, the caterpillars were abundant, and the collection of them and cocoons was continued from June 5th until July 9th when 912 catties of caterpillars and 39 catties of cocoons were destroyed. A second generation appeared, and operations for their destruction were commenced on August 13th and completed on the 31st, when 1,100 catties of catterpillars and 148 catties of cocoons were collected.

30. The cost of this work was $185.92.

31. So far as Hongkong is concerned the pest seems to be completely exterminated, as no trace of it has been seen since July 14th, 1895. Unfortunately the saine cannot be said for Kowloon; there the caterpillars have been in great abundance this year, about 10 tons have been collected, and a new generation has developed which will require to be dealt with shortly. One satisfactory circumstance this year is that the collectors have seen their way to do the work at a greatly reduced rate.

32. Last year I accumulated interesting information on parasitical enemies to the Eutricha in its different stages. I have now specimens of parasites on the egg, pupa and larva, but no parasite on the moth has yet been discovered. All the parasites are species of wasp, that on the egg being an exceedingly small one, only about a line in length, another on the pupa is 2 lines, and three others on the same are each about 6 lines long. These were obtained by developing them in boxes.

33. My thanks are due to Mr. ALBERT KOEBELE, the able entomologist, for kindly identifying of the parasites and for assistance in obtaining some of them. Mr. KOEBELE was staying some time in the Colony on a mission to the Far East to obtain parasitical insects for the Honolulu Government, for the purpose of destroying insect pests affecting various crops, a work in which he has . been eminently successful in various parts of the world.

the

genera

34. It is a curious coincidence that in 1894 the great bubonic plague and the great caterpillar plague occurred in Hongkong, while last year both were nearly absent, and this year they are again greatly in the ascendant.

In 1894 the long drought was supposed to be, to a great extent, accountable for these plagues, but last year was one of the driest on record, yet the scourges were in subjection, while this year when the bubonic plague, and the caterpillars have so greately increased there was an unusually heavy rainfall during the first three months of the year.

I have the honour to be,

REPORTS ON THE HONGKONG VOLUNTEER CORPS.

HONGKONG VOLUNTEER CORPS.

Annual inspection of, by G.O.C.

(From the General Officer Commanding in China and Hongkong

to His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong.)

HONGKONG, 28th April, 1896.

SIR, I have the honour to acquaint your Excellency that I personally made the Annual Inspection of the Hongkong Field Battery and Maxim Gun Volunteer Corps for 1896 on the 9th instant, and have to report :-

1. The turn out of the men was satisfactory, their 7-pr. guns, Maxims, arms, and equipment are well kept up and appear to be in serviceable condition.

2. The Officers and men know their drill sufficiently well for practical purposes, and from personal observation at tactical exercises and Field Firing, I know that the Field Battery shoots well, and believe that the Maxim Gun Corps usually makes good practice.

3. The adoption of khaki clothing and brown belts gives a serviceable appearance to the Corps.

4. That the Members prefer drawing the guns instead of employing coolie draught shows a good spirit, but I consider it would be wise to accustom Chinamen to drag and carry the guns over the rugged hill sides, and I approve of the Commandant's intention to use coolie draught more frequently in future in operations at a distance from Head Quarters.

5. I think perhaps that the number of drills for efficient volunteers might be somewhat reduced in accordance with the Home Volunteer Regulations; but on this point I shall address your Excellency later on.

6. Major PEMBERTON speaks highly of the assistance rendered him by the Officers, their efforts at recruiting members and the great interest they have taken in the drills, competitions, &c., all tending materially to the efficiency of the Corps.

7. I recommend to your Excellency's consideration the enrolment of old members to the Volunteer Reserve subiect to no diminuition being made in the present strength of efficient members, whose numbers are already too small.

8. The Corps has not appreciably increased in strength during the past year, and their muster at the Annnal Inspection parade was poor, but I have great faith in the loyal spirit of the British residents of Hongkong, and feel sure that if the Colony were to require their services they would rally to the Volunteers in great numbers.

9. I enclose the Commandant's report and desire to add that Major PEMBERTON'S zeal in his work and long experience of Volunteers have tended largely to the efficiency of the Corps.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward the documents, as per margin, 3. Nominal Roll Efficients Field connected with the training of the Hongkong Volunteers Corps for the season 95-96, for the information of His Excellency the Major-General Commanding and favour of transmission with his remarks to His Excellency the Governor.

2. In October last a Camp of Instruction was held for 10 days at Stone- 6. Musketry Return A Maxim cutter's Island, which was very well attended; outpost duties, guards, 7. Revolver Practice Return of reconnoitring in addition to the ordinary drills were practised. It was also hoped that the Naval Range could have been lent for the period of duration s.

take to attend it.

3. I have not had occasion to employ coolie draught to any great extent during the season. The members preferred drawing the guns themselves as a rule. I propose, however, in future to employ coolie draught whenever the Corps is engaged in operations at a distance from Head Quarters.

4. The Officers have assisted me greatly by their regular attendance at drills, their efforts to recruit members and by the example they have set. I feel strongly that increased efficiency of the Corps and the greater interest taken on the drills competitions, etc. is due to their efforts.

5. Alterations have this year been made made by the Adjutant (Captain L. A. C. GORDON, R.A.) in the 64 P. competition of the Field Battery, it now being done by detachments and not by individual competition as heretofore. It proved a success; caused much better competition and better firing. Captain GORDON has also started an Annual Gun Layer's competition which produced a keen contest.

6. The Corps loses temporarily the services of Lieut. H. E. DENSON who has been recently seconded for two years. Lieut. DENSON, who is a very capable Officer, has served in the Corps since 20th December, 1882, during a considerable portion of his service he performed the duties of Quarter- Master very efficiently.

7. The Non-Commissioned Officers are most zealous and hard working; they have shewn a good example to the men by regular attendance and by the interest they take in their work.

8. With regard to the men I notice that there is an increase of 13 in the general total of the Corps, this taking into consideration the fact that there have been 24 resignations accepted during the past year 12 of whom have left the Colony shews that 37 new members have been enrolled, thus shewing that Volunteering in Hongkong it not on the wane. Although it will be seen that there are 5 less efficients in the Maxim Gun Co. this year, the general total of efficients in the Corps shews an increase over last year's total of 3. Twelve recruits have joined since April 1st. The Corps has never been up to the present strength before.

9. Khaki Drill and Putties have been substituted in the Field Battery for summer wear in lieu of white clothing. All work in the field has been carried out in khaki; the change in uniform has met with general approval.

10. Revolver practice has taken place this year for the first time (report attached). The Officers and Staff Sergeants of the Corps fired. In future I hope this practice will be carried out annually.

11. I would state that I consider the number of drills as laid down in the schedules A and B to be somewhat excessive for an efficient volunteer, and would strongly recommend for very favourable consideration that the schedule based as far as practicable on Appendix IV., page 270, Home Volunteer Regulations 1895, be substituted. I would point out that some of the members have been efficient for some years; at present they have no advantage over a member who has only been in the Corps one year, in respect of attendance at drills.

12. I would also suggest that sanction be given to enrol on the Volunteer Reserve of the Colony (referred to in paragraph 19 regulations of the Corps* a copy of which is attached for reference

* Not printed here. See Government Gazette of the 6th May, 1893, page 332, vol. xxxix.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. XXXIX

ex-members who, through press of business, have quitted the Corps from time to time, and that they be permitted to retain the rank they held on leaving the Corps; and also to enrol any other desirable person who cannot afford the time to become an Active Volunteer but who would be desirous of serving in case of actual necessity.

　　13. The Corps under my command being armed with the Martini-Henry carbine, I would suggest that the Senior Ordnance Store Officer be directed to keep up 30,000 rounds annually for this arm, to be indented for as required on re-payment.

I have the honour to be,

XLV

REPORT OF THE POSTMASTER GENERAL FOR 1895.

No. 29.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, 26th March, 1896.

　　　SIR, I have the honour to forward the following report on the British Postal Service in Hongkong and China during the year 1895.

　　　2. The approximate statistics of correspondence received and despatched during the year are given in table A.

　　　These figures are arrived at from actual statistics taken during the first 28 days of October. They indicate an apparent falling off in International Correspondence despatched as compared with the preceding year, but the comparison is vitiated by the fact that the statistics for that year were taken during November, and the statistical period included the dates of despatch of both the Xmas and New Year's homeward mails, as explained in paragraph 3 of my report for 1894.

　　　The International correspondence received shows a considerable increase under all heads, the most important, though not the largest, being

Ordinary letters,

Papers and books,.

Registered articles,

....

15% increase. ..37%

..44%

　　　The large apparent increase in the number of registered articles received is, no doubt, partly attributable to the fact that 3 American mails arrived during the statistical period of 1895 as against 1 in 1894, these mails bringing regularly a very large number of registered letters-usually from 600 to 700.

3. As regards local business the figures indicate a decrease of 20% and 28 %, respectively, in the number of post cards despatched and received, and a decrease of 13% in the number of papers received. The principal heads under which increases appear are-

Ordinary letters despatched, Papers despatched,

.....

Registered articles despatched,

Registered articles received,.

.21% increase.

.33%

27

.20%

>>

.29%

4. Table B shows the monthly amounts of stamps sold at Hongkong during 1894 and 1895.

The amount sold during the last five months of 1895 shows an increase of more than 19 % over the amount sold during the corresponding period of 1894, and as there has been no change in the tariff since August 1894, it is evident that the amount of correspondence despatched has increased remarkably.

　　　5. Table C gives the statistics of parcels received and despatched, and table D gives the com- parison with 1894. The figures are exact except as regards those for parcels to and from the Coast Ports, which are estimated from statistics taken during 28 days.

They indicate a steady increase in the popularity and usefulness of the Parcel Post.

6. Table E shows the revenue and expenditure of the department during the year. Increases appear under all heads of revenue except boxholders' fees, and the most important item being the receipt from the sale of stamps which shows an increase of nearly 26 %.

The expenditure shows considerable increases under the headings "Share of United Kingdom expenses" and "Share of other Countries," which are attributable partly to increase in business, and also largely to the inclusion of sums disbursed in 1895 in payment for transit services performed in previous years. No trustworthy conclusion as to the increase or decrease in Postal business can be derived from these figures. The contribution towards the P. & O. subsidy is a fixed charge in sterling, and the small decrease is due to a more favourable average rate of exchange. The decrease under the heading "Conveyance of Mails," i.e., gratuities to masters of private ships for conveyance of local mails, does not necessarily indicate a falling off in local business. The masters call for the

money at odd times, as suits their convenience, and the amount paid in any year is far from being a sure measure of the amount earned during the year.

XLVI

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

The decrease in "Working Expenses" is due principally to the fact that certain promotions were kept open on the retirement of the Messrs. BARRADAS, and were not filled up until the current year, partly also to economies effected in the staff towards the end of 1894.

The total revenue shows the handsome balance of $50,209 over expenditure, as against $8,820 for the previous year.

7. Table F shows the numbers of parcels despatched to Europe by the P. & O. vessels, with the amounts of postage and insurance fees collected.

8. The Cape of Good Hope joined the Postal Union on the 1st January, and the postage to that country was reduced in consequence.

9. An arrangement was concluded for the insurance of parcels to India to take effect from 1st January, 1896. The conditions are published in the Government Gazette of 7th December,

1895.

10. A Parcels Post to Brisbane via Colombo came into force on the 1st July. The conditions will be found in the Government Gazette of 29th June.

11. A Parcels Post to Canada via Vancouver was also arranged, and took effect from the 1st October. The conditions will be found in the Government Gazette of 14th September, 1895.

.12. A Parcels Post to New Zealand via Colombo is under consideration and will, I hope, shortly be arranged.

13. The present Post Office is utterly inadequate for the requirements of the Colony. So far back as Mr. LISTER's time and frequently during my tenure of office the necessity for a new office has been urged upon the Government. (See Postmaster General's reports for 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891 and 1893.) The work of the office continues rapidly increasing, and it is hoped that the erection of the new office, which I understand is in contemplation, will be pushed forward with all possible celerity. The rate at which the business of the Post Office is increasing also renders it desirable that the dimensions of the new office should be far in advance of actual present requirements.

14. I would draw attention to the extreme inconvenience which is caused by the shortness of the stay made at this port by the outward French mail, which frequently arrives on the same morning that the homeward mail leaves, and leaves again the same afternoon after a stay of from 8 to 10 hours. In that time the homeward has to be sorted, the outward mail prepared and despatched, and the Shanghai and Coast and Northern mails sorted. The result is that there is not always time to sort the whole of the Shanghai mail, which has therefore frequently to be despatched only partly sorted. All this inconvenience might be obviated if the French authorities could be induced to allow the mails to be sorted on board the steamer, on her way up from Singapore, by an officer of this department as is done on the English mail. Such an arrangement was actually completed at one time (see my reports for 1889, 1890 and 1891); but the French authorities suddenly withdrew the privilege. I think the time has arrived when the question should be re-opened.

15. Messrs. T. and C. BARRADAS resigned their posts on the 24th January.

16. Messrs. A. SILVA and S. MOORE joined the department as junior clerks on the 4th March.

17. The Messageries Maritimes steamship Melbourne was detained at Saigon in May on account of fire, and her mails were brought on by the S. S. Manche.

18. The Messageries Maritimes S. S. Yarra was detained at Colombo in June, and the S. S. Rosetta brought her mails to Hongkong.

19. The telegraph office has been transferred to the offices of the Eastern Extension Australasia and China Telegraph Company.

20. The Agencies at the Coast Ports have been managed satisfactorily, with the notable excep- tion of Hankow, the Agent at which port has given an infinite amount of trouble by his repeated delay in forwarding his accounts, and neglect to reply to numerous letters from this office on that and other subjects.

21. The question of illicit Chinese l'ost Office has again occupied the attention of the Govern- ment, and a large number of Chinese who were found to be illegally forwarding correspondence to Manila, Haiphong, Bangkok, and other places were warned that from and after the 1st January, 1896, the law would be rigorously enforced, and the exceptionally large sale of stamps in December would seem to indicate that the action taken has proved efficacious.

22. Since the 5th October the following classes of correspondence have been delivered without extra charge:-

(a) Correspondence posted on the high seas in the letter box on board a vessel, or placed in the hands of the commander provided the postage is prepaid by means of the postage stamps and according to the tariff of the country to which the vessel belongs or by

which it is maintained.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. XLVII

(b) Correspondence posted on board in port, provided the prepayment is effected by means of the postage stamps and according to the tariff of the country in the waters of which the vessel happened to be. Formerly all such correspondence was treated as unpaid and double postage collected from the addressees.

23. Table G shows the Money Order business for 1895.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR 1895.

No. 218.

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE, HONGKONG, 7th April, 1896.

　　　　　SIR, I have the honour to forward you the following report of the work of this department during the past year.

ANNUALLY RECURRENT WORKS.

　　　　　2. Repairs to Government Buildings.-The following new buildings have been added to the list of Government buildings during the year, viz. :-

The Slaughter Houses, Sheep and Pig Depots at Kennedy Town, and

The Central Market.

3. The following buildings have been removed :-

The Temporary Markets, Praya Central and Wing Lok Street.

The Slaughter House, West Point.

Number 8 Police Station, Taipingshan, and the Taipingshan Market.

4. Five houses in New Street, partly occupied by the Po Leung Kuk, have been sold.

5. The total number of buildings of all descriptions in charge of this department is 125.

　　　　　6. The ravages of white ants have necessitated considerable expenditure on some of the Govern- ment buildings, especially at Queen's College, Government Civil Hospital, the Lunatic Asylum, and Tsim-Sha-Tsui Police Station.

　　　　　I also regret to have to report that exceptional repairs were necessitated at the Queen's College owing to the decay of some of the principal timbers in the roof over the large Hall.

7. With the exception of the drainage of Hung Hom and Yaumati Police Stations, Sai-ying- poon and Yaumati Markets, the laying of a new floor in the Post Office, and the substitution of canvas for plaster ceilings in Queen's College, the expenditure under this heading of account has been mainly on miscellaneous repairs.

8. As regards the New Government Offices, the project has during the year assumed a more definite form, and it has been decided to reserve the sites on the New Reclamation in front of the City Hall for the erection of Supreme Court House, Law Offices, Land Office, and Offices for the Treasury, Public Works Department, and Registrar General's Department.

9. Maintenance of Telegraphs and Telephones.-The telegraph and telephone lines have been maintained in an efficient state of repair during the year. Iron poles have been substituted for wooden ones on the Stanley and Aberdeen lines. The project submitted in my report dated 3rd August, 1892, C.S.O., has now been completed, and it is anticipated that a reduction in the annual cost of maintenance will for some time to come be effected.

10. The joint arrangement with the Eastern Extension and Great Northern Telegraph Companies, C.S.O. $134, whereby the Government telegraph and telephone lines going eastward are carried as far as North Point on the Companies' poles, has also been completed.

18947

11. Public Cemetery.-The Public Cemetery has been maintained without involving any excep- tional expenditure. A further area to the north has been terraced and the repairs to the Chapel have been completed.

　　　　　12. Maintenance of Praya Walls and Piers.-No work calling for any special mention has been carried out during the year under this heading.

13. Maintenance of Lighthouses.-With the exception of the Gap Rock Lighthouse, no exceptional repairs or alterations have been made.

14. At the Gap Rock Lighthouse, iron shutters and strong wooden doors have been fitted to the exposed window and door openings in the Light-Keepers' Quarters, Tower and Water Tank.

　　　　　Guns have been mounted to replace the fog signalling apparatus, and preparations are being made for the construction of a new Magazine.

　　　　　On the 3rd January, 1895, Mr. MATTHEWS of Messrs. COODE SON & MATTHEWS visited the Gap Rock, and on the 10th of January reported to the Government.

This report was laid before Council, Sessional Paper No. 1 of 1895, and paragraph 34 contains the following opinion "that the north end of the Rock is the proper site for the Tower and that as "long as the Lighthouse and buildings remain in their present position, they will prove a source of

anxiety and expense.

""

LVI

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

15. Dredging Foreshore. The dredger during the year has been at work for 221 days, mainly engaged in dredging operations at Causeway Bay.

The quantity of material dredged during the year amounted to 21,681 cubic yards, 19,855 cubic yards being deposited in the Reclamation and 1,826 outside Green Island.

16. It was necessary during the year to lay up the dredger for 82 days for repairs, the cost amounting to $5,022.84.

17. Miscellaneous Works.-The following are the more important works carried out under this heading, and expenditure thereon including outstanding liabilities, viz. :-

????

18. Removing silt from the Pokfulam reservoir.-Towards the end of the dry season, advantage was taken of the reservoir being nearly empty to remove a considerable quantity of silt at a cost of $766.19.

273

19. Retaining Walls, Glenealy Ravine.-C.S.O. 25. Owing to the slips that have taken place in the upper part of this ravine during recent years, it became necessary to build retaining walls to prevent further occurrences of this nature and consequent danger to the buildings in the immediate vicinity of the ravine. These have been completed at a cost of $4,425.80.

20. Boat Slip, Police Basin, Kowloon.-C.S.O. 1338. Owing to the recent introduction of steam pinnaces for the use of the Harbour Police, some provision became necessary for landing them in a sheltered place during typhoons. This has now been afforded by the construction of a slipway in the Police basin at Kowloon at a cost of $1,919.87.

94

21. Retaining Wall, Inland Lot 509.-C.S.O. 2546. In accordance with the instructions of Government, the retaining wall on the southern boundary of Inland Lot 509, Seymour Road, which collapsed during the latter part of last year carrying with it the lower portion of the Seymour Road, has been rebuilt at a cost of $3,688.08.

?

22. Retaining Wall Mount Gough Road.-A somewhat serious slip occurred during the typhoon of 1894 in the Mount Gough Road necessitating the construction of a retaining wall and concrete slope which has been completed at a cost of $965.27.

95

23. Jinrickshas Shelter at Kowloon.-C.S.O. 1462. A jinrickshas shelter has been constructed in front of the Wharf and Godown Co.'s premises, Kowloon, for the accommodation of 10 jinrickshas, at a cost of $446.20.

24. Additions to the Reformatory.-C.S.O. 183. In accordance with the instructions of Govern- ment, separate cell accommodation and cookhouse have been constructed in connection with the West Point Reformatory at a cost of $900.

25. Addition to Cape Collinson Lighthouse.-C.S.O. 1973. Quarters for a European are in course of construction at Cape Collinson. Expenditure during 1895, $467.65.

95

26. Repairs to Taitam Filter Beds.-C.S.O. 2014. Early in the year, serious leaks developed themselves in these filter beds apparently owing to the settlement of the inverts. These were repaired at a cost of $1,503.03.

27. The Boundary Wall between Kowloon Marine Lot No. 10 and the Police Dock Compound-has been completed, C.S.O. 1777, at a cost of $806.99.

28. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Victoria.-The work under this heading has been mainly confined to ordinary repairs.

The main thoroughfares on the lower levels have been surfaced with macadam where required, and the steep streets liable to damage in heavy rains repaired with concrete.

Six of the old timber bridges on the Kennedy Road have been removed and substituted by bridges constructed of iron rails and cement concrete.

The timber bridge near Wongneichong Village has been similarly treated.

29. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges out of Victoria.-With the exception of the repair and improvement of the Magazine Gap Road, Pokfulam Road to the Peak and Mount Parker Road, the work under this heading has been confined to ordinary repairs.

30. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Kowloon.-The only works other than those of ordinary repairs done during the year were the forming, macadamizing, kerbing and channelling of Elgin Road, which had for some time been delayed pending the completion of the New Barracks, the concreting of the footways on the Praya and in Chater Street adjoining the Wharf and Godown Co.'s premises, and the substitution of a bridge constructed of wrought iron rails and concrete for one of the old timber bridges on the Hung Hom Road.

31. Maintenance of Water-works.--The water-works both in the City and Hill District have been maintained in a satisfactory condition.

32. The rainfall during the past year was the lowest on record, being only 45.84 inches, or a little more than one-half the average for the last 40 years.

33. It was found impossible to continue the constant supply during the whole of the year owing to the scarcity of water.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. LVII

　　35. The water in the Taitam Reservoir only attained a maximum level of 14 feet 6 inches below the sill of the old overflow during the year.

　　36. The quantity of water filtered at Taitam and Pokfulam Filters during the past year was 672,005,000 gallons and 191,625,000 gallons respectively, making a total of 863,630,000 gallons, equal to a consumption of 12.14 gallons per head, per diem, for all purposes. (Estimated population 195,000.)

One hundred and ten million seventy-four thousand gallons have been supplied by meter.

　　37. In addition to the above, 85,603,000 gallons have been supplied from the Wongneichong and Tai Hang streams (Blue Pool and Mint Dam) for trade purposes only.

　　38. I regret to have to report the work of detail inspection of house services has been consider- ably interrupted owing to the introduction of the intermittent system. However, 4,168 house services have been inspected, out of which 1,199 were found defective. The consumption in 425 houses was ascertained with the following results that the consumption exceeded the prescribed domestic quantity in 232 houses; on receipt of notice this was abated in 211 houses, and in the remaining 21 houses the services were disconnected.

　　39. Owing to the apparent excessive consumption of water in the Hill District, during the latter part of the year all services to houses in occupation in the Peak were metered in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of Ordinance 6 of 1895. C.S.O. 243.

　　40. It has to be remembered that all the water supplied to the Hill District has to be pumped up through a height of about 1,600 feet, and though this is done at comparatively small cost by hydraulic machinery when the constant supply is maintained to the city, it involves considerable expenditure during the intermittent supply when recourse has to be had to steam power.

41. The number of meters fixed in the city is 211. In the Hill District 104. In Kowloon 4. 42. The Kowloon water-works were sufficiently advanced to admit of water being turned on to the public fountains in the villages of Yaumati and Hung Hom and in the lower levels of Tsimshatsui in July last, and a constant supply has been maintained since.

　　43. Applications for the construction of 131 new services and repairs to 436 existing ones, been received.

have

44. Tabular statements giving information respecting the quantity of water in the reservoirs and that supplied to the several districts during the past year will be found in Appendices A., B. and C.

　　45. Diagrams shewing the hourly consumption of water during periods of 24 hours are attached. Appendix D.

46. The expenditure in connection with the maintenance of the water-works has been somewhat increased during the past year, owing to the necessity of using steam power for pumping water up to the Hill District, consequent on the introduction of the intermittent supply to the city.

47. Maintenance of Sewers.-The sewers and storm water drains have, as far as practicable, been maintained in a satisfactory condition without exceptional expenditure.

48. Some of the storm water drains require improvement and this is being carried out as the sewage from private premises is diverted from them."

49. It is satisfactory to note from the report of the Sanitary Surveyor to the Sanitary Board that considerable progress is being made towards remedying the defects in the drainage of private premises. As these are remedied and the sewage is diverted from the storm water drain, a considerable improve- ment in this branch of sanitation will doubtless result.

50. Street-Lighting.-The lighting of the city by gas and electricity, and of Kowloon Point and Yaumati by gas, has been satisfactorily carried out by the Gas and Electric Companies under their respective contracts.

LVIII

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

　51. The total number of gas lamps in the city, exclusive of 15 in the Cantonment, is 643, and the number of electric lights 75. The number of gas lamps at Kowloon Point and Yaumati is 84.

　52. Maintenance of Public Recreation Ground.-The Recreation Ground in Happy Valley has been maintained in a satisfactory condition at a small cost.

An iron railing has been erected along a portion of the western boundary replacing the dilapidated wooden one.

53. Maintenance of Kowloon Water-works. As the pumping machinery was not completed before the month of December, no expenditure under this heading of account appears during the year.

58. Boundary stones have been fixed to define 31 lots.

59. Surveys have been made and plans prepared of the villages of Tsat Tsz Mui and Shui Tsing Wan.

60. Squatter's Licences.--As will be seen from the annexed return 1,510 licences have been issued during the year to persons holding land under this form of tenure.

The fees paid amount to $5,263.56.

Forty-four licences have been cancelled owing to the property being vacated by the occupiers. 61. Though I regret to have to report that much of the time of the Land Bailiff is taken up by attendance at the Police Court in proceeding against persons who obstinately refuse to pay the fees due until an order has been obtained from the Magistrate, it is satisfactory to be able to report that at the close of last year every holder of property had paid the fees for the current year and that all arrears to date had been collected or written off on account of leases having been issued or the property vacated, so that the year 1896 commences without any outstanding arrears in respect of such fees.

62. Every endeavour has been made during the year to collect all arrears, many of which unfor- tunately had been long outstanding.

The subject has been fully dealt with in C.S.O.'s 2922 and 2877

PUBLIC WORKS EXTRAORDINARY.

　　　68. Central Market.-This building was completed and handed over to the Sanitary Board on the 30th of April, and the following is a general description of its structure and arrangement.

DESCRIPTION.

　　　69. Site.-The New Market is situated between the Queen's Road and Praya, and occupies a site in a central position in the City of Victoria bounded on the north by Jubilee Street, south by Queen Victoria Street, west by Queen's Road and east by Praya Central.

The total area of the site is 51,274 square feet, and that actually occupied by buildings exclusive of approaches and central avenue is 40,000 square feet.

70. Building. The foundations of the building which were of a somewhat heavy nature owing to the eastern portion being in reclaimed ground were commenced in May 1890, the contract for these included the necessary retaining walls along the western portions of Victoria and Jubilee Streets and along the Queen's Road frontage, and the main drains.

This contract was completed 31st August, 1891, and the granite base for the superstructure was then proceeded with, being completed in August, 1892.

71. The contract for the erection of the remaining portion of the building was entered into in the same month, and the construction of the internal fittings was entrusted to the contractor at a later period.

72. As will be seen from the plan and sections, the building consists of two blocks each two stories in height, the lower story having the main entrance from the Praya and the upper from Queen's Road. Side entrances are also provided from Victoria and Jubilee Strects.

　　　Between the two blocks is a central avenue 20 feet in width, over this are constructed at each end Inspector's quarters.

The two blocks are connected by a covered way across the central avenue on each floor.

73. The walls of the building are of red brick with granite stone dressings.

74. The floors are of concrete finished in cement, the upper one being carried on cast iron columns and wrought iron girders with steel joists and corrugated steel decking, the cast iron work being obtained from Messrs. NEWTON CHAMBERS & Co., Sheffield, and the wrought iron work and steel from the HORSEHAY COMPANY, Shropshire.

75. The roof is of double pan and roll tiles carried by wrought iron trusses 12 feet apart and of 51 feet span, the purlins being of yacal timber 6" x 3" in section running longitudinally and placed 1'.9" apart.

76. The iron work for the roof was obtained from Messrs. COCHRANE & Co., Dudley.

77. Arrangement.--On the ground floor the southern block containing 46 shops is devoted to the wholesale dealers in fish and vegetable. The shops are 15.6" x 12.0" with the exception of two of the fish shops which are 23'.9" x 12'.0"; four of those in the fish section being fitted with water tanks with water laid on to meet the requirements of the dealers in live fish.

78. The ground floor of the northern block containing 150 stalls 6'. 0" x 6'. O" is devoted to the dealers in fish, vegetables and pork, each section containing 50 stalls; 20 of the fish stalls are fitted with water tanks. The vegetable stalls are fitted with tiers of receding shelves and the pork stalls with iron rails and hooks.

79. The upper floor of the southern block contains 46 shops 19'.0" x 12.0", 20 of which are devoted to the sale of fruit and 26 to that of beef and mutton, the latter being fitted with iron rails and hooks.

80. The upper floor of the northern block contains 46 shops of the above dimensions, all of which are devoted to the sale of poultry.

81. Shops and Stalls.-The shops and stalls except the fittings above mentioned are constructed of wood fitted into iron sockets in the floor, the woodwork being kept 3 inches above the floor to admit. of the latter being thoroughly washed.

82. Gallery.-Round the building immediately above the shops and stalls is constructed a light gallery admitting of the windows being readily opened and closed.

83. Ventilation.-Ventilation is provided for on the ground floor by air inlets near the floor level and windows, and on the upper floor by similar air inlets, windows and louvre in the roof.

84. Lighting.-As the market is open from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. some means of artificial light was required, and a contract was entered into with the Electric Co. to carry out the necessary installation and supply the current from the mains in Queen's Road and the Praya.

The installation consists of 43 incandescent lamps of 50 candle-power each, 37 of 32 candle- power, and 12 of 16 candle-power, making a total of 92 lamps with an aggregate candle-power of 3,526.

The three sections of the market having central avenues are lit by a single row of 50 candle- power lamps spaced 24 feet apart.

LX

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

The fourth section with side avenues is lit by a double row of 32 candle-power lamps placed 8 feet on each side of the centre line of the section; these are spaced 18 feet apart.

The central avenue is lit by three 50 candle-power lamps controlled by separate switches.

The three central lights in the block on the ground floor are controlled by a separate switch, so that they can be turned on as pilot lights if required.

The other lamps including those in the entrance are divided into ten sections, each controlled by a switch.

The lamps are placed about 14 feet above the floor level.

The current is reduced from 2,000 to 100 volts on entering the premises, and the consumption with all the lamps turned on is about 11.2 Board of Trade units per hour.

85. Completion.-The building was completed and opened on the 1st of May last, the total cost being:-

Site, Foundation, Superstructure and fittings, Electric Light Installation

..$158,058.00

.$ 35,988.54

$220,262.06 $258,000.00 .$ 1,749.40

86. At the instance of the Sanitary Board, scalding and plucking rooms have since been added over the central portion of the passage between the two blocks at a cost of $2,068, C.S.O. 1413. These were completed and handed over to the Sanitary Board on the 5th of December last.

2650

1895.

87. Erection of the Queen's Statue. C.S.O. 559.-This work has been proceeded with on the site reserved for it in Wardley Street on the New Reclamation. The foundations were completed early in the year, but, owing to the impossibility of completing the superstructure before the typhoon season commenced, it was considered advisable to delay this portion of the work which is now being proceeded with.

88. Improvement, Recreation Ground, Happy Valley.-No expenditure has been incurred under this heading during the past year.

89. The extension of the present ground to meet the growing requirements of the Colony has, however, been decided upon, C.S.O. 1999, and it is hoped that the work of rendering the area known as the Bowrington Gardens available for recreation will be shortly taken in hand.

90. Slaughter-house and Sheep and Pig Depots.--To meet the convenience of the dealers who applied for further accommodation for unbasketting the pigs, it was decided, C.S.O. 77, to erect an additional shed on the vacant ground to the east of the existing sheds.

18957

This work was commenced in August last, and the shed, occupying an area of 6,000 square feet

in communication with the depot, is nearing completion.

91. Gaol Extension.-The new buildings in Old Bailey have been completed and were handed

over to the Superintendent of the Gaol on the 20th December, C.S.O. $289.

92. These buildings consist of two main blocks three stories in height having basements under the northern portions.

The blocks contain 155 separate cells and are connected by a covered way.

In the basements ample store and bath-room accommodation has been provided.

93. A portion of the site has been utilised for the erection of a workshop and workshed with store room adjoining.

94. The whole of the site is surrounded by a high masonry wall, and communication with the existing Gaol premises situated on the east side of Old Bailey has been provided by the construction of a subway under Old Bailey.

95. Gas and water have been laid on at convenient places throughout the premises.

96. New Water Mains.-The completion of the distribution mains at Kennedy Town have been carried out during the year.

97. In October last, contracts were entered into for the construction of covered service reservoirs at Kennedy Town and Wanchai.

The former was let to Mr. Kax Ox, C.S.O. 33, and the latter to Mr. HUI YAU, Confidential C.S.O. 38. Both works have been commenced.

The capacity of the Kennedy Town reservoir is 340,000 gallons, and top water level 210 feet above Ordnance Datum.

The capacity of the Wanchai reservoir is 190,000 gallons, and top water level 251 feet above Ordnance Datum.

98. Sewerage, City of Victoria.-The sewers, in the Eastern District, with the exception of the intercepting syphon with which it is not proposed at present to proceed, and those at Kennedy Town have been completed.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. LXI

99. Water Supply, Kowloon.-The works described in my report of the 30th of June, 1892, Sessional Paper No. 3, with the addition of a reservoir at Hung Hom and a clear water tank at Yaumati, as suggested by Mr. OSBERT CHADWICK, C.M.G., to whom the project was referred, have been completed, with the exception of the Pumping Stations Buildings. These are, however, far advanced, and the laying of mains in Mongkok Tsui awaits the carrying ont of the project for the continuation of Station Street, Yaumati.

100. The sources of supply are three valleys situated north of the village of Yaumati.

In these, wells have been sunk, and puddle dams constructed across their outlets to prevent the escape of subsoil waters.

101. In the valleys exists a considerable depth of sandy deposit washed down from the hills, in this are laid open jointed pipes conducting the water to the wells.

From the wells the water is conveyed by cast iron inverted syphons laid along the roads constructed in connection with this project to the clear water tank at Yaumati from which it is pumped to the reservoir on the hill north of the Rifle Range and through the distributing mains to the reservoir at Hung Hom.

The work was sufficiently advanced to admit of water being turned on to most of the fountains on the 10th of June last, since which date the supply has been practically constant.

106. The Pumping Machinery was started on the 24th of December, and water has been delivered. under pressure since that date.

LXII

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

107. The supply of water obtainable from these works is during the dry season very limited; it is therefore necessary that the utmost economy should be exercised as to its use. With this object in view, Ordinance No. 1895 was passed by the Legislative Council conferring power on the Water Authority to meter all private services and charge for the water consumed by measurement.

108. It is a matter of considerable importance that this step was taken before any private services had been connected with the main and the complaints and dissatisfaction consequent on a subsequent change of policy avoided.

109. There can be little doubt that in native villages the supply obtainable from public fountains meets all reasonable requirements, and in those districts in which European houses exist private services can be constructed and water laid on at comparatively a small cost, whilst the meter system will no doubt check the waste and misuse of water so likely to exist and so difficult to stop without such a system.

1894

1895.

110. Taitam Water-works Extension.-C.S.O.'s 1999 and 1333. This project, which included the raising of the main embankment of the Taitam Reservoir 12 feet 6 inches, and the overflow weir 10 feet, increasing the storage capacity of the reservoir to 390,000,000 gallons, has been proceeded with. The work on the main embankment is nearly completed, and the overflow weir has been raised 5 feet, at which level it is proposed to leave it until after the rainy season has commenced.

111. The construction of the clear water channel along the western side of the reservoir, across the bye-wash channel and down the western side of the gauge basin into which it discharges, is in

progress.

112. The construction of a catchwater, intercepting the flow of water from the hillside to the east of the reservoir and conducted into the reservoir, is in progress.

113. Owing to the experience of last rainy season when the yield of the present catchment area of the Taitam reservoir was insufficient to meet the daily requirements of the City of Victoria and fill the reservoir, it was considered desirable to at once extend the catchment area by the construction of this catchwater contouring the hillside at an elevation of about 600 feet above sea level.

It has been completed over a length of 2,938 lineal feet increasing the catchment area by 80 acres, and the work of extending it a further 5,200 lineal feet to a point on the eastern side of Mount Parker is in hand.

On the completion of this work, the catchment area of the reservoir will be increased by 220 acres, making the total area 900 acres.

Within this additional area are situated some perennial streams which will be intercepted, increasing not only the flow into the reservoir during the rainy season but also that during the dry

season.

1575

114. Extension of MacDonnell and Austin Roads, Kowloon.-C.S.O. 133. I am glad to be able to report that this work has now been completed and has materially improved the communication between Kowloon Point and the village of Yaumati.

Considerable difficulty was experienced with this contract owing to the dilatory manner in which the contractor proceeded with the work, who, as reported in C.S.O. 1, ultimately gave it up. Arrangements were then made for its completion by the contractor for the annual maintenance and repair of roads in Kowloon, who has carried out the remaining work in a satisfactory manner.

2552 1892.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. LXV

　　　Several of the foregoing projects are very important and, though entered in the Estimates for 1896, I regret that the Government have been unable at present to approve of any expenditure being incurred in connection with some of them.

　　　136. During the year, sites in the villages situated in the Kowloon Peninsula have been allotted, as approved in C.S.O., for the erection of pig sties. The residents readily availed themselves of these, and a marked improvement in the sanitation of these villages has resulted.

3275

137. The insanitary settlement known as the Coffee Plantation has been removed, C.S.O. 13. 138. A portion of the reclamation north of Tai Hang Village has been laid out in building lots granted subject to special conditions to squatters of some years' standing, who are desirous of improv- ing their dwellings, C.S.O. 1833.

　　　139. Information concerning the occupation of Crown land in British Kowloon has been collected, tabulated and forwarded to the Secretary of the Squatters' Board, together with the plans of the villages.

　　　140. Arrangements were made in July last for the carrying out of works in connection with the drainage of private premises by this department on receipt of a requisition signed by the owners of the property, C.S.O. 181.

　　　An enlarged plan of the City of Victoria to a scale of 60 feet to one inch shewing all the private lanes and drainage works recently executed is nearly completed.

　　　141. Stores. Early in the year, a complete stock-taking was made of all the stores in charge of the Department, and a new inventory amalgamating those previously in charge of the Public Works Department and the Water and Drainage Department has been made.

　　　142. Expenditure--The expenditure on account of Establishment and Annually Recurrent Works will be found in detail in Appendix E, and that on account of Extraordinary Public Works in Appen- dix F.

　　　143. A general statement of expenditure and clerical work (other than that of a purely depart- mental nature) will be found in Appendix J, from which it will be seen, especially as regards references from the Colonial Secretary, that a material increase in the correspondence has taken place.

PRAYA RECLAMATION Works.

　　　144. Section No. 1, Eastern portion. On the 21st February, 1892, Contract No. 18 was signed with TSANG KENG for the completion of the upper portion of the sea wall above the concrete blocks, constructing storm water drains, filling and reclaiming the land, forming, channelling, concreting roads, footpaths, &c. During the year 1895, 1,770 cubic yards of rubble stone have been laid in embankment and backing of sea wall, 70,662 cubic yards of earth deposited in reclamation, 1.249 cubic yards of cement concrete laid in backing of sea wall, and 684 cubic yards of lime concrete laid in backing of storm water drains, 33,525 cubic feet of granite ashlar set in Portland cement mortar in sea wall and storm water drain, 4,177 cubic feet of old wall (parapets of nullah) taken down and rebuilt, 1,100 lineal feet of stoneware pipe drains 9′′ and 12" in diameter laid, 166,500 square feet of roads and footpaths formed and 1,541 lineal feet of curbs and channels laid.

145. Section No. 2.-Contract No. 13 was made with TSANG KENG on the 14th July, 1892, for the construction of the upper portion of the sea wall, above the concrete blocks, storm water drains, filling in and reclaiming the land, forming and concreting the roads, footpaths, &c. The work under this contract was suspended on the 23rd February, 1895, with a view to laying the sewerage pipe, gas and water mains and to allow building operations to be commenced on Marine Lots 93 and 94, permission to do so having been granted to the Crown Lessees, C.S.O. 14, and the work cannot be resumed until the buildings now being erected on the reclaimed land are completed. The work executed during the months of January and February was 1,724 cubic yards of earth filled in reclamation, 3,457 square feet of curb and side channels laid.

2015 893

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. LXXXVII

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 9th May, 1896.

SIR,---I have the honour to forward you the following report on the water supply to the City of Victoria, and Hill District.

2. The history of the works constructed and the various projects that have from time to time been put forward for securing a liberal supply of water to the City of Victoria are contained in numerous official documents dating from the year 1860. These are neither easily accessible nor convenient for general reference.

3. Before dealing with the main objects of this report, viz., the capacity of the present works and the available means of increasing the present water supply, I propose briefly to place on record in a -connected form for convenience of future reference the main features of the existing works, and, the facts and opinions recorded in the various reports submitted to Government that are of general interest or of practical utility in considering this subject.

HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE.

4. Prior to the year 1860 the water supply for the City of Victoria was obtained from the streams flowing down the northern slope of the hills immediately above the City. These were tapped above the built area and led into small tanks, situated in convenient positions in various parts of the City, from which the water was supplied to the inhabitants.

5. Mr. S. B. Rawling's Project.-The scarcity of the water supply to the City during the winter of 1859 led to the preparation of the first project of any magnitude. The details of this project are -contained in a report by Mr. S. B. RAWLING dated 29th February, 1860, in which he proposed-

(a) The construction of a reservoir in the Pokfoolum Valley to impound 30,000,000 gallons throwing a dam across it at a point about 2,400 feet up the ravine from the bridge on the Aberdeen Road.

(b) The laying of a 10-inch cast iron main along the Pokfoolum and Robinson Roads 17,400 feet in length to a point immediately south of Inland Lot No. 605 capable of discharging 1,000,000 gallons per diem.

(c) The construction of a tank at the termination of the 10-inch main of a capacity of

200,000 gallons. (No. 1 Tank.)

(d) The construction of a tank, connected with the previous one immediately south of Bonham Road at the top of Taipingshan, of a capacity of 850,000 gallons. (No. 2 Tank.)

(e) The erection of 30 fountains and 125 fire cocks.

6. Mr. RAWLING gives the total population of the City as follows:-

Land,.. Boat,

Total,

49,880 14,701

.64,581

and considers that a supply at the rate of 15 gallons per head based on a total population of 60,000 will be found sufficient.

7. The estimated cost of this project is given as follows:-

LXXXVIII SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

8. The area of the City to be supplied by these works and the existing tanks was bounded on the north by the harbour, on the south by Bonham Road, Mosque Street and Robinson Road East, and on the east by the Seamen's Hospital.

　　　　　9. This project was referred to a Committee which recommended that it be adopted with the exception of the construction of the reservoir, as they were of opinion that further provision beyond that provided by the construction of a suitable intake on the stream was unnecessary. The height of the proposed dam was therefore lessened, the storage capacity of the reservoir reduced to 2,000,000 gallons and the estimate amended to ￡22,700.

　　　　　10. The project as amended was adopted and completed in 1863 at a total cost of $170,000- which was met by a water rate of 2 per cent. on the value of house rentals.

　　　　　11. In a despatch from Sir RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL to the Right Honourable the Earl of CARNARVON dated 27th August, 1866, His Excellency states that the supply obtained from the water works hitherto constructed during the dry season only amounts to 408,000 gallons per diem, and urges the immediate construction of an impounding reservoir in the Pokfoolum Valley.

　　　　　12. Mr. W. Wilson's Project.-In a brief report dated the 10th of May, 1866, Mr. WILSON states that the yield of the catchment area above the intake of the 10-inch main is only 108,000 gallons per diem during the dry season, though from May to October inclusive a sufficient supply is obtained.

　　　　　13. Mr. WILSON, after calling attention to the large flow of water in the Taitam Valley, considers that any scheme for conducting its waters to the City of Victoria is impracticable owing to the distance, and recommends the construction of an impounding reservoir to hold 100,000,000 gallons in the Pokfoolum Valley.

　　　　　14. However, the size of this reservoir was subsequently reduced, and one of a capacity of 68,000,000 gallons and having a catchment area of 416 acres was constructed by throwing an earthen embankment 50 feet in height across the ravine at a short distance above the intake works constructed by Mr. RAWLING. Top water level 554.6 feet above Ordnance Datum.

　　　　　15. This work together with the construction of two small dams on streams crossing the Pokfoolum Road was carried out during the years 1866-1871 at an approximate cost of $223,270.

　　　　　16. Further additions to the water works were also made during these years by the construction of intake works on the Wongneichong and Tai Hang streams and conducting the water of these streams to the eastern portion of the City.

'The cost of these intake works was :-

Wongneichong,

Tai Hang,

Total,.

$ 817.32

1,850.00

$2,667.32

　　　　　17. As the built area of the City extended to the higher levels, the small supply of water obtainable from the Gleanely Ravine became quite inadequate to meet the requirements of the tenants of houses situated above the level of the area supplied from No. 1 Tank, and a project was proposed for the construction of a conduit contouring the hill at a level of about 500 feet above the sea from the outlet of the Pokfoolum reservoir to the Glenealy Ravine.

　　　　　18. Pokfoolum Conduit.-The project for the construction of the Pokfoolum conduit does not appear to have assumed a definite shape until after the appointment of Mr. J. M. PRICE to the office ef Surveyor General in 1873 when the urgent need of an increased water supply was again receiving the earnest attention of the Government.

　　　　　　19. The construction of this conduit was not, however, commenced till 1876 when contracts were entered into for the construction of a covered conduit commencing at a Gauge basin to be constructed immediately below the Pokfoolum reservoir dam and contouring the hillside at a level of about 500 feet above the sea to the Albany Tanks situated on the east side of the Glenealy Ravine.

　　　　　20. This conduit has a total length of 17,840 lineal feet and over the greater portion is constructed of brickwork and masonry, rectangular in section, being 1' 6" x 1′ 6′′. Cast iron inverted syphons of an aggregate length of 2,206 lineal feet were used to cross five of the ravines, these consisted of two cast iron pipes 10 inches in diameter laid side by side. The discharging capacity of this conduit was 2,000,000 gallons a day until it reached syphon No. 4 where it was reduced to 1,700,000 gallons a day.

　　　　　21. The work was completed in 1877, and the 10-inch main in the Pokfoolum Road removed at a total cost of $62,090.76, having been carried out under the supervision of Mr. W. DANBY, C.E.

#

SUPPLEMENT TO THE NUTOKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. LXXXIX

22. The completion of this work though providing for the delivery of Pokfoolum water above the level of the Robinson Road did not increase the quantity of the daily supply of water available during the

the dry season which practically remained the same as it was in 1873.

23. In a report dated 1st November, 1885, Mr. PRICE gives the following particulars regarding the water supply to the City of Victoria on his arrival in 1873. "In 1873 Victoria contained about 95,000 inhabitants, of which, however, excluding garrison and shipping, only 92,000 may be included in these calculations as water consumers, and the daily allowance was 52 gallons per head made up as follows:-

From Pokfoolum,

Wongneichong Dam,

"9

Mint Dam,

""

Glenealy Nullah,

.4.40 gallons.

.50

25

""

.10

""

Wells, Springs and other sources,............ .50

Total,.......

..5.75 gallons."

24. Mr. Price's Project.-This condition of things in view of the increasing population of the City and the growing demands for water for trade purposes indicated only too clearly that some steps must be taken to increase the quantity of water available for distribution during the dry season. Consequently Mr. PRICE shortly after his arrival directed his attention to the subject and in a report dated the 1st November, 1873, submitted definite projects for the consideration of Government.

35. In this report Mr. PRICE enters at considerable length into the past history of the water question, and describes in detail the available sources of supply.

26. Projects are considered for obtaining an additional supply from the valleys of Pokfoolumn, Aberdeen and Taitam, and the streams intercepted by the conduits that it would be necessary to construet for conveying the water from these valleys to the City.

27. The Pokfoolum project included the formation of a storage reservoir of 50,000,000 gallons capacity in the valley above the reservoir constructed in 1871 by the construction of a dam 350 feet long and 90 feet in height, and the formation of a further reservoir of 74,000,000 gallons capacity in the valley below the reservoir constructed in 1871 by the construction of a dam 250 feet long and 55 feet in height across the valley at the level of 457 feet above the sea.

28. The Aberdeen project included the formation of a storage reservoir of 213,000,000 gallons capacity by constructing a dam across the Aberdeen Valley above the present Paper Mills at a level of about 240 feet above the sea, the length of the proposed dam being 520 feet and its height 90 feet.

29. The Taitam project included the formation of a storage reservoir of 250,000,000 gallons capacity by the construction of a dam 400 feet in length and 90 feet. in height across the Taitam Valley at a level of about 400 feet above the sea.

30. The total estimated cost of these projects and the minimum daily supply per head including 4.93 gallons per head derived from the existing Pokfoolum, Tai Hang and Wongneichong works estimated, on a rainfall of 50 inches per annum, a population of 92,000 and a drought of 240 days, is given as follows:-

10 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1890.

TAITAM WAter Works PROJECT.

　　　33. The project for bringing water from the Taitam Valley to the City of Victorm as finally decided upon and carried out during the years 1883 to 1889, under the supervision of Mr. JAMES ORANGE, ?.E., included--

(a) The construction of an impounding reservoir by throwing a concrete and masonry dam across the valley about one mile above the village of Taitam Tuk.

(b) The boring and completing of a tunnel conduit 2,428 lineal yards in length through the range of hills separating the reservoir from the Wongneichong Gap.

(c) The construction of a covered masonry and brickwork conduit and road 5,163 lineal yards in length from the Tunnel outlet to the Albany.

(d). The construction of filter beds and service reservoir at the Albany.

　　　34. The Concrete and Masonry Dam-was 562 lineal feet in length and had a maximum height above the bed of the stream of 109 lineal feet forming a reservoir of 312,000,000 gallons capacity having a catchment area of about 680 acres. The top water level was 496.30 feet above Ordnance

Datum.

　　　35. Provision was made for the discharge of flood waters by the construction of an overflow weir and bye-wash channel to the west of the main embankment.

　　　36. The Tunnel Conduit-was for the most part constructed through hard rock and only lined for a short distance at the ends.

　　　37. The Conduit commencing at the Wongneichong Gap with an invert level of 399.00 feet above Ordnance Datum contours the hill for the greater part of its length, being carried over the deeper ravines by masonry and brickwork arches.

　　　38. The conduit in cross section is rectangular, being 3′. 0" wide and 2'. 6" deep, and is kid at a uniform gradient of 1 in 1,200 and has a discharging capacity of 7,000,000 gallons per diem.

　　　39. The Filter Beds and Service Reservoir.-These are constructed at the City terminus of the conduit on the east bank of the Albany nullah, and consist of 6 filter beds having a combined area of 3,245 square yards and an open service reservoir 30 feet in depth extending over the Albany nullah? having a capacity of 5,700,000 gallons. The top water level is 383.50 feet above Ordnance Datum.

　　　40. The filtering material is composed of 2' 6" of fine sand overlying 6" of stone broken to " cubes and 9′′ of rough broken stone, the drainage being provided for by 2 courses of bricks laid dry.

　　　41. The water after being filtered is discharged into the service reservoir from which is carried an 18" cast iron pipe to the junction of the Bowen and Garden roads where it is connected with the distribution works.

42. The cost of these works was as follows

POKFOOLUM FILTER BEDS AND SERVICE RESERVOIR.

44. Pokfoolum Filter Beds and Service Reservoir.-The muddy state of the water delivered into the City from Pokfoolum during the rainy season now called for the attention of Government and a definite project for the filtration of the Pokfoolum water before distribution was submitted in 1889 and approved by Government.

　　　45. The construction of these works which consisted of four filter beds, having a combined aren of 1,310 square yards and a covered service reservoir 30 feet in depth of a capacity of 940,734 gallons, was at once put in hand and completed in 1890 at a cost of $37,431.

46. These works are situated on the hillside at the west end of the City immediately below the Pokfoolum conduit at a distance of 300 lineal yards west of the syphon No. 5.

　　　47. The filter beds are constructed on the ridge and furrow system, the filtering material being composed of 2' 0" of fine sand overlying 9" of coarse sand, 9" of stone broken to cubes and 1'. O of rough stones. The water after filtration is discharged into the service reservoir. The level of top water is 467.75 feet above Ordnance Datum.

48. A 12-inch main from this reservoir connects with the distribution system.

DISTRIBUTION WORKS.

19. Distribution Project. On the completion of the foregoing works it was evident that the system of mains existing in the City would be quite inadequate to distribute the water supply now available, and as there existed many streets in the City unprovided with water pipes it was decided after careful consideration that practically an entirely new system was necessary.

50. Accordingly, when considering the project for the construction of the Pokfoolum filter beds and service reservoir, I was instructed also to prepare a project for setting the distribution works on a satisfactory basis.

51. Particulars of these projects will be found in my report dated February 4th, 1889.

59. The report and plans were referred to Mr. CHADWICK, C.M.G., Consulting Engineer to the Crown Agents, who during a stay in the Colony went into the question and reported on the 28th December, 1889, recommending generally the adoption of the project which consisted of dividing the City into three zones according to the elevation of the ground.

53. The lower zone extends from the sea to approximately the 150-feet contour, the next zone from the 150-feet contour to the 250 one, and the uppermost zone from the 250-feet contour to the Pokfoolum conduit.

34. The three principal mains were 14", 12" and 10" in diameter, and the project included completing the system of mains in every street and providing fire hydrants at an average distance apart of 300 feet.

55. Mr. CHADWICK, however, proposed an important addition to this project, viz., the substitution of hydraulic motors for the ordinary reducing valves to reduce the pressure of the water before entering the mains in the lower zones.

56. Sites were selected in the Garden, Arbuthnot and Bonham Roads for the erection of hydrau- lic motors to utilize the surplus pressure by actuating pumps raising water to reservoirs to be con- structed above the level of the built, area of the city which now extended in places up to and even above the level of the Pokfoolum conduit.

‧ 57. The works finally decided upon and carried out during the years 1890-1892 consisted of:-

(a) The laying of 20 miles of cast iron mains varying from 14" to 3" in diameter.

(b) The erection of Pumping Stations and Motors at Garden, Arbuthnot and Bonham Roads, (c) The construction of service reservoirs on the Peak Road, the hillside South of Belilios

Terrace, and at West Point above the Pokfoolum Filter Beds.

58. The flow of water in the several districts is commanded by 250 valves. Four hundred and twenty-three fire hydrants and 108 fountains have been provided.

59. In the Garden Road pumping station is installed a duplex direct acting horizontal Worth- ington motor. The power cylinders and pumps, the latter being double acting, are placed tandem.

60. This motor is actuated by the flow of water from the Albany service reservoir down Garden Road and is available for pumping water to the reservoir on the Peak Road and the one south of Belilios Terrace.

61. In the Arbuthnot Road pumping station is installed a direct acting horizontal duplex hydraulic motor from the designs of Messrs. HAWTHORN DAVEY & Co. The power cylinders and pumps, the latter being differential ram pumps, are placed tandem.

62. This motor is actuated by the flow of water from the Albany service reservoir down Arbuthnot Road and is also available for pumping water to the reservoir on the l'eak Road and the one south of Belilios Terrace.

63. In the Bonham Road pumping station is installed a motor, of similar design to the one in Arbuthnot Road, actuated by the flow of water from the Pokfoolum service reservoir down the hillside and along Bonham Road.

64. This motor is available for pumping water to the reservoir on the hillside above the Pokfoolum filter beds and to the one south of Belilios Terrace. It has, however, been designed mainly for the pumping of the water to the Hill District, the water supply of which will be referred to later on.

65. The general arrangement of the motors may be briefly described as follows.

The water at the full pressure available from the reservoir is conducted to the power cylinders and by suitable valve arrangement actuates the pistons, the exhaust water being conducted into the distributing mains at reduced pressure for the supply of the City. The motion thus given to the pistons is communicated to the pumps, the rods of which are connected direct to those of the pistons. 66. A "bye-pass connection" is made between the mains on the upper side and those on the lower side of the motor. This bye-pass, in addition to being furnished with ordinary valves, is provided with an automatic reducing valve which regulates the pressure in the distributing mains with which the exhaust from the motor is connected.

67. Direct connections from the upper side of the motor are inade with the pump cylinders so that the "actual lift" of the pumps is reduced to the difference between the levels of the water in the reservoir into which the water is being pumped and that in the service reservoir supplying the motive

power.

71. Additional Service Reservoir.-Additional service reservoirs at Kennedy Town and Wanchai for equalizing the pressure and flow in the distributing mains as recommended by Mr. CHADWICK in his report of the 28th December, 1889, are now under construction.

The former having a capacity of 340,000 gallons, depth of 16 feet, top water level 210.00 feet above Ordnance Datum.

The latter having a capacity of 190,000 gallons, depth of 16 feet, top water level 251.00 feet above Ordnance Datum.

THE PEAK WATER WORKS PROJECT.

72. The rapidly increasing population of the Hill District which depended entirely on the yield of a few shallow wells for a water supply demanded attention in 1888, and previous to Mr. PRICE'S departure he submitted a proposal to pump water from the Albany service reservoir, but no definite project was put forward prior to Mr. CHADWICK'S arrival in 1889.

73. Mr. CHADWICK Submitted with his report, dated 30th January, 1890, a definite project for supplying the Hill District with filtered water.

74. This project involved-

(a) The pumping of water up to the Peak from the Pokfoolum service reservoir.

(b) The removal of the cast iron tanks, situated in the Glenealy Valley, previously used

for the water supply of the City but no longer required, to the Hill District.

(e) The laying of a 3-inch rising main from the Pumping Station to the Peak.

(d) The laying of distributing mains throughout the District.

75. Pumping Machinery.-During the greater part of ordinary seasons, it was considered that a sufficient supply of water from Pokfoolum would be obtained to secure the necessary hydraulic power for pumping the required quantity of water to the Peak. Consequently, the motor erected in the Bonham Road pumping station, referred to in paragraph 63, was designed with a view to its being used for this purpose.

**

76. In order to provide for the continuous supply of water to the Hill District during such periods as the Pokfoolum works fail to supply the necessary hydraulic power, a triple expansion con- densing engine of the Worthington duplex type actuating double ram pumps and supplied with steam from a vertical boiler of Beely's Field tube type, working pressure 90 lbs. per square inch, was installed in the Bonham Road Station.

78. The maximum height to which water is pumped is 1,780 feet above Ordnance Datuin. 79. Water Tanks.-Six cast iron tanks have been erected in the District, viz., at the Peak and Mount Gough of 5,000 gallons capacity each, and at the Peak, Mount Kellet, Plantation Road and Magazine Gap of 10,000 gallons capacity each.

80. Mains.-Five and one-third miles of water mains have been laid in the Hill District; these are of wrought iron varying from 3′′ to 14" diameter.

8. The rising main from the Pumping Station to the Peak is of hydraulic piping fixed together with screwed socket joints, and is 4,390 feet in length.

82. These works were completed in 1891 at a cost of $32,585.00.

STREAMS INTERCEPTED BY CONDUITS.

83. Extension of Works.-The inadequacy of the water supply from the Taitam and Pokfoolum valleys alone to meet the requirements of the City became only too evident during the exceptionally dry winter of 1890 and 1891, and steps were at once taken to divert the waters of the several small hill streams crossed by the Pokfoolum and Taitam conduits, and to connnect the Albany filter beds with the Pokfoolum conduit by a 10-inch cast iron syphon.

84. The interception of these streams materially reduces the amount of water drawn from the Pokfoolum and Taitam reservoirs during the rainy season, and to not an inconsiderable extent increases the daily quantity of water available for distribution during the dry season.

PROJECT FOR INCREASING THE CAPACITY OF TAITAM Reservoir.

85. The failure of the water works to afford a constant supply of water throughout the year, necessitating the introduction of the intermittent system with all its attendant dangers, waste and inconvenience led the Government in 1894 to ask the advice of Mr. CHADWICK as to the best means of increasing the quantity of water available for distribution, and in a report dated the 7th August, 1894. he urged upon the Government the desirability of at once proceeding with the raising of the Taitam dam which had originally been purposely designed to admit of this. Indeed, Mr. PRICE had pointed out the desirability of this extension in a report dated the 25th October, 1886.

86. On my return from leave in October 1891, a definite project was prepared and received the approval of Mr. CHADWICK, involving raising the main embankment 12 feet 6 inches, and the overflow 10 feet, admitting of an additional storage capacity of 78,000,000 gallons making a total of 390,000,000 gallons. This project further included the erection of movable sluices on the overflow sill admitting of the storage of a further quantity of 20,000,000 gallons in favourable seasons.

87. The addition to the main embankinent has been completed and the overflow raised 5 feet, so that the present storage capacity of the reservoir is 350,000,000 gallons,

It is intended to raise the overflow a further 5 feet this year.

88. Extension of Catchment Area discharging into the Taitam reservoir.-The failure of the run off from the Catchment Area of the Taitam reservoir during the year 1895 to fill (after de lucting the water drawn from the reservoir during the rainy season) the reservoir was only to be expected with the unprecedented small rainfall of 45.84 inches as pointed out in my report datel the 4th of February, 1889.

89. This experience has necessitated, in order that full advantage may be taken of the storage capacity of the reservoir, the adoption of measures to increase the catchment area discharging into the reservoir. An open concrete conduit or catchwater, 2,713 lineal yards in length and having a discharging capacity of about 1,500,000 gallons per hour, is being constructed contouring the southern and eastern slopes of the hills to the east of the Taitam reservoir. By this means, an area of 220 acres will be added to the catchment area making a total area of 900 acres discharging into the reservoir.

SUPPLY OBTAINABLE FROM EXISTING WORKS AND THOSE IN PROGRESS.

90. Having thus briefly described the works constructed and in progress, I propose now to consider the supply of water that these works my reasonably be expected to furnish.

91. As has been previously stated, the storage capacity of the two impounding reservoirs at Pokfoolum and Taitam (including the extension) is 68,000,000 gallons and 390,000,000 gallons respectively, so that, at the commencement of the dry season, provided these reservoirs are full, there is a supply of 458,000,000 gallons available for distribution during the dry season.

XCIV

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

　　　　92. This quantity is further supplemented by the yield of the catchment areas of these reservoirs and the yield of the springs intercepted by the Pokfoolum and Taitam conduits.

　　　　93. On reference to the rainfall statistics during the last 40 years as contained in the reports of the Director of the Government Observatory, it will be seen that the dry season not unusually commences as early as the month of September and extends to the end of the following April, or for a period of 242 days.

　　　　Dry seasons extending over periods exceeding the above have, however occured, for instance, those of 1859 and 1860, 1885 and 1886, 1886 and 1887, but these are most exceptional.

　　　　94. Dry Season of 1890-1891.-Shortly after the completion of the Taitam Water Works, the exceptional dry season of 1890-1891 occurred, and on reference to my annual report for 1891 and the departmental records, I find that, from the 28th of August, 1890, when the water fell below overflow level in the Pokfoolum reservoir, to the 2nd of May, 1891, a period of 248 days, (after which heavy rains commenced) 99,815,800 gallons were drawn from the Pokfoolum reservoir catchment area, and 352,934,400 gallons were drawn from the Taitam reservoir catchment area.

　　　　95. The difference between the quantity stored in these reservoirs at the commencement and end of the above period was 62,500,000 gallons, and 305,000,000 gallons respectively.

　　　　96. We therefore get the quantity yielded, exclusiye of that lost by evaporation from the surface of the reservoirs during this period, by the Pokfoolum catchment area 37,315,800 gallons and by the Taitam catchment area 47,934,400 gallons.

　　　　97. The rainfall amounted to 9.74 inches, so that the yield from these catchment areas during this period was 40 per cent. and 32 per cent respectively of the actual amount of rain falling on them.

98. Tabulating the above figures, we get:-

　　　　It will therefore not be unreasonable to consider that the percentage of rainfall collected in the Taitam Valley might also have been collected in the Pokfoolum Valley, had there been storage capacity available.

From October to April inclusive the yield of an additional 80 acres of catchment area intercepted by the catchwater to the east of Taitam was discharged into the reservoir. This amounted to 11,000,000 gallons.

The water intercepted by the conduits during this period amounted to 84,502,000 gallons.

　　　104. Considering the foregoing facts and after careful study of the rainfall statistics contained in the reports of the Director of the Government Observatory from which Appendices A, B and C have been compiled, I am of opinion that, in designing a project for the improved water supply of the City of Victoria, the following data may reasonably be taken as a basis for calculating the yield of the catchment areas and streams to be dealt with.

Rainfall from May to August inclusive 44 inches, of which 50 per cent. is available for distribution from the Pokfoolum and Taitam valleys.

Rainfall from September to April inclusive 20 inches, of which 33 per cent. is available for distribu- tion from the Pokfoolum and Taitam valleys. It will be observed that, with the exception of the dry seasons of 1890-91 and 1895-6 this is considerably less than the total rainfall given in Appendix A. The reason for this is that heavy rains frequently occur during September and October when the reservoirs are probably full, and a large proportion of the flow must run to waste, and further not unfrequently a considerable rainfall occurs in April, by which time if calculations were based on the total rainfall for the period only, the supply of water would probably run short before such rainfall was experienced.

105. The percentage of rainfall available from those valleys intercepted by open catch waters at a considerable elevation will probably be somewhat less than that adopted for the Pokfoolum and Taitam catchment areas.

In respect of these areas, I have adopted the following.

Rainfall from May to August inclusive 44 inches, of which 33 per cent. is available for distribution. Rainfall from September to April inclusive 20 inches, of which 30 per cent. is available for distribution.

106. On the above basis we get the following results in respect of the present works:-

290,000,000 982,000,000

These give an average daily supply of, say, 2,700,000 gallons.

107. From the foregoing statement it will be seen that, during the period from September to April, viz., 242 days, the available "run off" from the several catchment areas is 290,000,000 gallons, whereas the supply obtainable based on the annual rainfall is 2,700,000 × 242, viz., 653,400,000 gallons.

108. In order therefore to equalise the daily amount of water available for distribution, reservoirs of a minimum storage capacity of 653,400,000 -290,000,000=363,400,000 gallons are required.

The storage capacity of the Pokfoolum reservoir is 68,000,000 gallons, and that of Taitam 350,000,000 gallons.

XCVI

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

It is therefore evident that the existing works in the Pokfoolum and Taitam valleys are sufficient to secure an average daily supply of 2,700,000 gallons.

109. Conduits.-The P'okfoolum conduit, as previously stated, is capable of conveying to the Pokfoolum filter beds 2,000,000 gallons per diem, and the Taitam conduit is capable of discharging at the Albany filter beds, 7,000,000 gallons per diem,-quantities greatly in excess of the average daily supply obtainable from the respective catchment areas and other areas in their immediate vicinity.

FILTRATION OF WATER.

110. Filtration of Water.-Having dealt with the yield of the Catchment Areas, and the capacity of the Reservoirs and Conduits, it is necessary now to consider the subject of the filtration of water previous to its being delivered into the distribution system.

On reference to the report of Mr. E. W. Lucas, Acting Government Analyst, accompanying my annual report for the year 1891, it will be found that, during heavy rains, the water derived from the catchment areas is very turbid, and contains as much as 10 grains per gallon of finely divided suspended matter.

111. Works have been completed both at Pokfoolum and Taitam to avoid the immediate filtration of water in this condition by the construction of bye-passes intercepting the streams at the heads of the reservoirs which run comparatively clear long before the matter in suspension in the water in the reservoir has settled. These works therefore admit of the clear water being intercepted direct from the streams and dispense with the necessity of drawing very turbid water from the reservoirs; thus to a large extent relieving the filter beds.

Thus

　　　　112. The filtration of water in connection with public supplies has received a good deal of attention of late, and the supposition that the action of sand filters properly constructed and used is confined or almost confined to the holding back of comparatively the grosser substances suspended in the water appears in the light of recent investigation to be erroneous, and that this mechanical action is of far less importance in the purification of water than the vital action which depends on the activities of the gelatinous layer of living matter gradually deposited on, the surface of the filtering medium. the longer a filter has been in use the more efficient it becomes, provided, of course, that the surface layer has not acquired such density as to interfere with the passage of the water; and, consequently, the recommendation which was commonly given in former times that a filter bed should be cleansed as often as possible, appears to have been a mistake; cleansing, by which the efficient superficial mem- brane is removed, should only be carried out when the filter has become unduly blocked." (Report of Royal Commission on Metropolitan Water Supply 1893.)

It is therefore a matter of importance that, after the cleansing of a filter, time should be given for the formation of the gelatinous layer, and this can be done by allowing the water to stand on the filter bed for some time before filtration is actually commenced. The rate of filtration should be uniform and not too rapid, care being taken not to disturb the gelatinous membrane.

　　　　As a general rule, it may be taken that the sand composing a filter should never be less than 1.3" in thickness, and the rate of filtration should not exceed 500 gallons per square yard of filter area per 24 hours.

　　　　113. The Pokfoolum filter beds are four in number having a combined area of 1,310 square yards, and the Albany filter beds are six in number having a combined area of 3,245 square yards, giving a total area of 4,555 square yards; from this, however, must be deducted about 10 per cent, to admit of their being periodically cleansed without interruption of the water supply, giving a net available area of, say, 4,000 square yards. Taking 600 gallons per square yard per 24 hours as the maximum rate of filtration admissible, we get 2,400,000 gallons per diem as the quantity of water these filters are capable of filtering.

The existing filters are therefore insufficient for the effectual filtration of the whole of the water obtainable from the existing works in the Pokfoolum and Taitam valleys.

DISTRIBUTION OF WATER WITHIN THE CITY AND HILL DISTRICTS.

　　　　114. On the completion of the works now in progress, viz., the construction of service reservoirs at Kennedy Town and Wanchai, the laying of new mains along Wyndham Street, Aberdeen Street, Staunton Street, Wing Wah Lane and a portion of Queen's Road West, the project referred to in paragraph No. 52 will have been completed.

115. It is, however, necessary to lay new mains in Caine, Robinson and Bonham Roads, the existing mains which were laid many years ago being inadequate to meet the requirements of the districts.

116. Further, the condition of No. 2 Tank constructed in 1860 is very unsatisfactory, only a few feet of water can be put into it without involving a serious loss by leakage.

This tank is very conveniently situated immediately above the central portion of the Chinese quarter of the City and is at sufficiently low a level to admit of being supplied by the exhaust from the Garden and Arbuthnot Road motors.

117. The cost of laying the above mains and making good No. 2 Tank is estimated at $39,000, and on the completion of these works the distribution works will be found ample to meet all reason- able requirements within the present built area of the City for some years to come.

　　　118. In respect of the supply to the Hill District, this district is practically, entirely dependent on the quantity of water pumped up at the Bonham Road Pumping Station day by day. Under these circumstances, should anything happen to the pumping machinery or rising main, the Peak and Hill District would be deprived of water pending the completion of repairs or renewals.

*

　　　119. It cannot be considered satisfactory that a population of from 1,500 to 2,000 should thus be liable of being entirely deprived of water, and I consider, to meet the present requirements of the Peak and Hill District, provision should be made to provide for the continuance of the water supply in the event of such contingencies as above referred to.

　　　120. The present consumption in the Peak and Hill District is 40,000 gallons per diem, and I consider that the construction of a covered service reservoir to hold, say, 10 days supply or 400,000 gallons at a sufficient elevation to command the entire district is required.

PRESENT REQUIREMENTS.

　　　121. Present Requirements.-Having seen that the maximum daily supply that can be relied upon during the dry season from the Pokfoolum and Taitam catchment areas and reservoirs and streams intercepted by the conduits is 2,700,000 gallons, assuming that the supply is constant during the whole of that period, I now propose to consider the present requirements of the City (including the floating population) and Hill Districts.

　　　122. The following tabular statement shews the quantity of water distributed, omitting the Tai Hang and Wongneichong streams, the estimated population supplied, and the average rate of consump- tion for all purposes per head per diem during the years 1892, 1893, 1894, 1895, viz., since the new distribution works were completed, and a supply of potable water for the first time in the history of the Colony distributed to every part of the built area of the City and Hill District.

It must, however, be noted that, during the years 1893, 1891, and 1895, owing to the scarcity of water the intermittent supply was introduced.

123. The following tabular statement shews the number of days in the months during the whole of which the constant supply was maintained, the quantity of water distributed (omitting the Tai Hang and Wongneichong streams), the estimated population supplied, and the average rate per head per diem during the period of constant supply.

124. The maximum consumption for all purposes occurs in the month of August and during the months of September to April, it is, as a rule, somewhat less, but for the purposes of this report it will be sufficient to consider the average daily quantity required throughout the year based on the results obtained during the periods in which the constant supply was maintained.

It will be seen from the above tabular statement that this varied during the years 1892 to 1895 from 17.6 gallons per head per diem to 14.6 gallons per head per diem.

This quantity cannot be considered excessive especially when the extensive use of water for bathing by the European community is considered.

Indeed, judging from the results obtained in other cities and towns, it is not unlikely that, with the introduction of improved sanitation, this quantity will be exceeded, though it is hoped concur- rently with improved sanitation every possible check will be kept upon the waste and misuse of water.

XCVIII SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

ADDITIONAL WORKS NECESSARY TO MEET PRESENT REQUIREMENTS.

125. Taking the present requirements for all purposes at 15 gallons per head per diem and the population supplied at 200,000 persons, the average daily quantity required for distribution is 3,000,000 gallons.

126. The existing works at Pokfoolum and Taitam can be relied upon to supply an average of 2,700,000 gallons per diem, of which, 2,400,000 gallons can be efficiently filtered with the existing filter beds.

127. It will therefore be seen that-

(a) Further works are necessary to render an additional average daily supply of 300,000

gallons of water available.

(b) Further provision for the filtration of 600,000 gallons of water per diem is required. (e) The construction in the Hill District of a service reservoir of 400,000 gallons capacity

is required.

128. On the completion of the works now in hand at Taitam, the capacity of the reservoir will be increased to 390,000,000 gallons, making the total storage available at Pokfoolum and Taitam 458,000,000 gallons, but, as shewn in paragraph No. 106, the catchment areas can only be relied upon during the months of May to August to yield 692,000,000 gallons.

　　　　Now, if during that period an average daily quantity of 3,000,000 gallons be abstracted or a total of 369,000,000 gallons, there is only a balance of 323,000,000 gallons for storage which, added to the yield of the catchment areas during the months of September to April inclusive, viz., 290,000,000 gallons, gives the total available for distribution during the months of September to April inclusive as 613,000,000 gallons or an average daily quantity of only 2,500,000 gallons.

　　　　It is therefore necessary to increase the catchment area or to construct additional storage reservoirs for impounding water during the years of heavy rainfall for distribution during those of comparatively

small rainfall.

　　　　129. A catchwater contouring the hillside on the west of the Taitam Valley 3,100 lineal yards in length and discharging into the present reservoir will intercept a catchment area of 186 acres.

　　　　On the basis previously adopted, this would increase the available supply during the months of May to August inclusive by 61,000,000 gallons, and during the months of September to April inclusive by 25,000,000 gallons,

　　　　130. A catchwater contouring the hillside on the east side of the Little Hongkong Valley and discharging into the valley near the Wongneichong Gap would, with suitable reservoir accommoda- tion at this point, increase the available daily supply during the year by 300,000 gallons.

　　　　131. A suitable site exists for the construction of a reservoir in the valley near the Wong- neichong Gap by the construction of a dam across the valley having a maximum height of about 50 feet and a length of about 270 feet; the capacity of this reservoir would be 27,000,000 gallons.

132. Some minor alterations and extensions to the Pokfoolum conduit will be required with a view to increasing its discharging capacity and thus enabling full advantage being taken during the months of May to August inclusive of the yield of the Pokfoolum reservoir catchinent area and the streams intercepted by the conduit.

With these additional works calculating on the same basis as previously adopted, paragraphs Nos. 104 and 105, an additional supply of 193,000,000 gallons per annum will be obtained.

　　　　133. The following statement shews the total supply obtainable on the completion of the foregoing works.

Average supply per diem

3,200,000 gallons, say, storage required= 3,200,000 × 242 less the yield of the catchment areas during the months of September to April inclusive (774,000,000 -342,000,000) viz., 432,000,000 gallons. The storage capacity of the reservoirs at Pokfoolum and Taitam on the completion of the works now in hand will amount to 458,000,000 gallons and will therefore be sufficient to secure a constant water supply at the rate of 3,200,000 gallons per diem.

PARTICULARS OF PROPOSED WORKS TO MEET PRESENT REQUIREMENTS.

134. Proposed Catchwater Taitam Valley.-The catchwater contouring the hillside on the west of the Taitam Valley to be constructed of lime concrete rendered in cement laid at a uniform gradient of 1 in 100 and to have a maximum discharging capacity of 2,000,000 gallons per hour.

It will be necessary to convey the water intercepted by this catchwater across the ravine imme- diately south of the present Taitam reservoir by cast iron pipes 14 inches in diameter.

This work is shown on drawing No. 7 and the estimated cost is $40,000.

135. Proposed Catchwater Reservoir near Wongneichong Gap.-The catchwater contouring the hillside on the south of Wongneichong Gap shown on drawing No. 7 to be of similar construction to one above described and to have a maximum discharging capacity of 1,000,000 gallons per hour. This catchwater will discharge into a reservoir to be constructed near Wongneichong Gap as shown on drawing No. 13.

From this reservoir the water will be conveyed by a cast iron main 5 inches in diameter to the Taitam conduit.

The estimated cost of these works is $83,000.

136. Proposed Filter Beds.-Additional provision for the filtration of 1,000,000 gallons of water per diem is proposed to be provided by the construction of filter beds on the hillside below the Bowen Road as shown on drawing No. 1.

These filter beds are three in number and have a combined area of 1,700 square yards, in con- nection with them a covered service reservoir should be constructed having a capacity of 600,000 gallons.

A cast iron main will connect this reservoir with the existing distribution system and service reservoir at Wanchai now in course of construction.

The estimated cost of these works is $68,000.

Should a supply of water be required above the Bowen Road, I would remark that the project for the construction of filter beds immediately below Bowen Road furnishes facilities for actuating a small hydraulic motor.

137. Proposed Reservoir at the Peak.-A suitable site for the constructions of a covered service reservoir of a capacity of 400,000 gallons exists immediately east of "The Eyrie."

　　This reservoir would be 16 feet in depth with a top water level of 1,751 feet above Ordnance Datum.

139. As it is of the utmost importance both on sanitary and general grounds that no time should be lost in providing the City and Hill District with an adequate and constant water supply, I would urge the necessity of at once taking steps to carry out the foregoing works.

C

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

　　　　In the consideration of this matter it must not be lost sight of that the Taitam project of 1873 was for the supply of water to 92,000 persons, at the rate of 13.57 gallons per head giving a total, daily supply of 1,248,000 gallons, a result which was more than realised during the unprecedented dry year of 1895. Unfortunately, the works were not completed till 1889 by which time the popula tion had increased to upwards of 170,000.

FUTURE REQUIREMENTS.

140. It is estimated that the population of the City and Hill Districts is increasing at the rate of 5,000 per annum.

　　　　If this rate be maintained, the rate of consumption of water being taken at 15 gallons per head per diem (see paragraph No. 125), the annual increase of water required for distribution will be 27,375,000 gallons or at the rate of 75,000 gallons per diem.

　　　　141. The existing works with the proposed extensions are estimated to yield a minimum of 3,200,000 gallons per diem or sufficient for a population of 213,000, so that by the end of 1899 it is probable that the requirements of the City and Hill Districts will have outgrown the supply obtain- able from these works during years of comparatively small rainfall.

142. As the construction of works of the nature required to meet this increased demand for water will occupy some time, I have considered projects for still further increasing the present water sup- ply, and now propose to briefly describe what appears to be the best practical solution of this question. 143. It must be remembered that the sites available for reservoirs are very few and owing to the steepness and narrowness of the valleys, do not admit of the construction of extensive impounding

reservoirs.

　　　　144. With a view to ascertaining the most suitable sites for the construction of reservoirs, detail surveys have been made in the Pokfoolum and Taitam valleys, and the following projects are submitted.

PARTICULARS OF PROPOSED WORKS TO MEET FUTURE REQUIREMENTS.

POKFOOLUM VALLEY.

145. Proposed Reservoir.-In the Pokfoolum Valley a suitable site exists below the present reservoir as shown on Drawing No. 2 for the construction of a reservoir having a capacity of 78,000,000 gallons and catchment area including that of the present reservoir of 500 acres.

This reservoir would be formed by the erection of a concrete and masonry dam across the ravine

a little above the existing bridge on the Aberdeen Road as shown on Drawing No. 3.

The top water level would be 480 feet above Ordnance Datuin, and the maximum depth of water below overflow level 40 feet.

　　　　The Valve Tower and outlet works are situated in the north-west corner, the level of the lowest draw-off being 450 feet above Ordnance Datum. A wash-out pipe

A wash-out pipe only is provided through the dam.

The waste weir is located on solid ground at the south-eastern extremity of the dam and has a total length of 110 feet which is ample with an overflow of 4 feet 6 inches to discharge the water flowing from the catchment area during such extraordinary rainfalls as the one occurring in 1889.

The Overflow Weir and Bye-wash Channel to be constructed of masonry and cement concrete throughout.

The construction of this reservoir will necessitate the raising of the Aberdeen Road skirting its western bank and the diversion of the southern portion as shown on Drawings Nos. 2, 3 and 4.

The material for raising the road and portions of Farm Lots 18 and 19 to be obtained from the area of the reservoir, the banks of which are to be formed as shown on Drawing No. 4, the western bank being composed of filled in material it is proposed to pitch with stone.

The construction of this reservoir will further to some extent encroach on Rural Building Lot No. 51 and Farin Lots Nos. 18 and 19 and involve the destruction of the small village of Pokfoolum. 146. Proposed Main.-The elevation of the site does not admit of the discharge of the water from the proposed reservoir into the existing Pokfoolum conduit. It is therefore proposed to provide for the water being conveyed in a cast iron main 12 inches in diameter contouring the hillside on the west of the Pokfoolum Road till it reaches the northern boundary of the Chinese Christian Cemetery. From this point the main to be reduced to 10 inches in diameter and follow the line of the Pokfoolum Road as far as Shektongtsui Nullah where it enters Crown land and terminates in the proposed filter beds situated near the Bonham Road pumping station.

This main will be capable of discharging 1,500,000 gallons per 24 hours.

It is also proposed to connect the existing outlet pipe from the Pokfoolum reservoir to this main and extend the latter to join the conduit near the present filter beds.

In case of necessity this main will be available for the purpose of conveying water from the existing reservoir to the present filter beds at the rate of from 600,000 to 1,000,000 gallons per 24 hours according to the level of the water in the reservoir.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

CI

147. Proposed Filter Beds.-The proposed filter beds in connection with this project are shewn on Drawing No. 2; they are three in number having a combined area of 1,666 square yards and are arranged to discharge into a small service reservoir of a capacity of 250,000 gallons which with the one now being constructed at Kennedytown will prevent the irregular action that would result from the variation in draw-off from the mains without such provision.

The top water level of the service reservoir is 251.5 feet above Ordnance Datum admitting of a direct communication being made with the distribution mains below the exhaust from the hydraulic motors without interfering with their action.

148. Estimate.--The estimated cost of this project is as follows:--

Construction of reservoir including compensation and purchase of land $160.000 Cast iron main,

Filter beds and reservoir,

Total,.

55,000

35,000

$250,000

　　149. The cost of the erection of pumping machinery with the necessary buildings for pumping the water from the reservoir into the existing conduit has, together with the annual charges connected with such a project, been considered, and I am of opinion that the laying of the cast iron main is preferable.

+

　　150. Increasing the Capacity of the Existing Reservoir. The practicability of increasing the capa- city of the present reservoir has also been considered, and I am of opinion that after the construction of the reservoir on the lower site this work might be undertaken by raising and strengthening the embankment.

The present outlet arrangements are unsatisfactory, the whole of the water being drawn off from near the bottom of the reservoir.

151. The project, as shewn on Drawings Nos. 5 and 6, includes raising the embankment 11 feet and the overflow weir 10 feet thus increasing the storage capacity from 68,000,000gallons to 91,000,000 gallons and the improvement of the outlet works so as to admit of the water being drawn off at different levels. As this involves the fixing of a stopping plate in the existing culvert, the present plate situated in the valve tower being of insufficient strength to bear the increased pressure of water safely, the carrying out of this work will necessitate emptying the reservoir, which cannot be done without seriously interfering with the water supply to the City of Victoria and Hill Districts until after the lower reservoir and the project previously described has been completed.

The estimated cost of this work is $35,000.

152. The completion of the two foregoing projects providing for the storage of 169,000,000 gallons in two reservoirs having a combined catchment area of 500 acres, will practically exhaust the means available within the Pokfoolum Valley for increasing the water supply.

　　153. Supply to be derived from Works in Pokfoolum Valley.-These works will secure on the basis already adopted, (see paragraphs Nos. 104 and 105), a daily supply of 880,000 gallons, as com- pared with a daily supply of 540,000 gallons from the existing works, throughout the year.

154. The construction of a catchwater 6,000 feet in length contouring the hill on the western side of the Pokfulam Valley at a level of 550 feet would intercept an additional catchment area of some 170 acres and, would admit of a daily supply of 1,000,000 gallons being obtained throughout the year.

The estimated cost of this catchwater is $18,000.

TAITAM VALLEY.

155. Proposed Reservoirs.-In the Taitam Valley detail surveys have been made of five sites shewn on Drawing No. 7, all of which are more or less suitable for the construction of reservoirs.

Two of these sites Nos. 1 and 2 are situated above the existing reservoir and within its catchment area, the other three are situated lower down the valley. One of which, No. 3, is at a sufficient eleva- tion to admit of water collected in a reservoir on it being discharged into the existing Taitam Tunnel. 156. Proposed Reservoir Site No. 1.-The proposed reservoir on site No. 1 would be formed by the construction of a masonry and concrete dam as shewn on Drawing No. 8.

This reservoir would have a capacity of 70,000,000 gallons with a top level of 780 feet above Ordnance Datum, a catchment area of 220 acres and a maximum depth of 50 feet.

　　　The waste weir is situated at the north end of the dam and has a length of 80 feet. It is antici- pated that the depth of water over this, weir will not exceed 3 feet.

The bye-wash channel will be constructed on solid ground and discharge into the valley below the dam.

The outlet commencing in a suitable valve well will be carried through the main dam and dis- charge into the stream below it.

The construction of this reservoir will involve a diversion of the road as shewn on the drawing. Estimated cost $140,000.

157. Proposed Reservoir Site No. 2.-The proposed reservoir on site No. 2 would be formed by the construction of a masonry and concrete dam as shewn on Drawing No. 9.

CH

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

This reservoir would have a capacity of 40,000,000 gallons with a top water level of 830 feet above Ordnance Datum, a catchment area of 60 acres which forms a portion of that of reservoir No. 1, and a maximum depth of 50 feet.

The waste weir is situated in the centre of the dam, that portion being constructed of masonry and cement concrete throughout, and has a length of 20 feet. It is anticipated that the depth of water over this weir will not exceed 3 feet.

The outlet arrangements will be similar to those described for reservoir on site No. 1. Estimated cost $56,000.

158. The run-off from the catchment area of this reservoir on the basis previously adopted during the months of May to August inclusive will not exceed 30,000,000 gallons, but the total run- off from the catchment area of the reservoir on site No. 1 will be 109,800,000 gallons. And the 39,000,000 over and above that required to fill the reservoir on site No. 1 can be diverted by a short length of catchwater constructed along the eastern slope of its catchment area.

　　No difficulty is therefore anticipated in practically filling these two reservoirs during the months. of May to August inclusive from the catchment area available.

　　159. Proposed Reservoir on Site No. 3.--The proposed reservoir on site No. 3 situated immediately below the present waste weir of the Taitam reservoir would be formed by the construction of two masonry and concrete dams as shewn on Drawing No. 10.

This reservoir, which would practically form an extension of the existing Taitam reservoir, would have a capacity of 20,000,000 gallons with a top water level of 498 feet above Ordnance Datum, and a maximum depth of 27 feet.

　　The waste water would discharge over the top of the principal dam which has a length of 150 feet. It is anticipated that the depth of water over the weir will not exceed 4 feet.

　　The outlet commencing in a suitable valve well will be carried through the easterly dam and discharge into the existing Gauge basin at the entrance to the Taitam Tunnel.

　　The construction of this reservoir will involve a diversion of the road to Taitam Tuk, the building of a new residence for the caretaker and a new Police Station.

Estimated cost $60,000.

　　160. The completion of these works will practically exhaust the means available within the Taitam Valley for increasing the water supply unless recourse is had to pumping water from the

lower levels.

TOTAL SUPPLY OBTAINABLE BY GRAVITATION FROM POKFOOLUM AND TAITAM.

　　161. The present storage capacity in the Pokfoolum Valley is 68,000,000 gallons, and on the completion of the proposed reservoirs in the Taitam Valley the storage capacity in that valley will be 520,000,000 gallons making a total of 588,000,000 gallons.

162. The storage capacity required to secure 3,200,000 gallons per diem as shewn in paragraph No. 133 is 432,000,000 gallons; there would therefore be a surplus of 156,000,000 gallons which would be available for storing water in wet years for use during dry years.

163. After considering the rainfall tables contained in the appendices, I am of opinion that this additional storage may be relied upon to increase the daily supply available by at least 300,000 gallons bringing the total supply up to 3,500,000 gallons per diem, or equal to a supply of 15 gallons per head, per diem to a population of 233,000 persons or the estimated population in 1,903.

164. Supplementing these works by the additions proposed in the Pok foolum Valley, the supply from the several sources would be as follows

The storage capacity of the reservoirs will amount to 689,000,000 gallons leaving a balance of 199,000,000 gallons say, which may be relied upon to increase the daily supply to 4,000,000 gallons.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. CIII

This would be sufficient for a population of 266,000 persons, or the estimated population in 1910.

　　　165. Though I have assumed that the rate of increase in the population of the City will be maintained for the next 10 years at the rate of 5,000 persons per annum, I am of opinion that, considering the limited area of the City and its present overcrowded condition, such a rate of increase should not be permitted and is not likely to occur.

　　　166. In view of the recent improvements in Kowloon, it appears probable that the increase in the population of the Colony will to a large extent be confined to that district, the water supply of which is entirely separate from that of the City of Victoria.

　　　167. Should such, however, not be the case, a material increase in the water supply derived from the Taitam Valley may be obtained by the construction of the reservoirs on sites Nos. 4 and 5 shewn on Drawings Nos. 7, 11 and 12 and the water pumped up to the existing reservoir.

　　　The catchment areas of these reservoirs, exclusive of the portions intercepted by the existing and proposed catch waters and present reservoir, are 260 acres and 250 acres respectively.

As this project involves pumping, the material for forming a reliable estimate of its cost are not at hand, and as it will probably be several years before such works will be undertaken, I merely place the outline of the project on record.

USE OF SEA WATER FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES.

168. During recent years, many seaside towns have adopted a dual system of water supply using sea water for watering streets, flushing drains, fire service, &c.

169. In considering the foregoing, the practicability of adopting such a system for the City of Victoria has not been lost sight of, and though the use of sea water favours deposit in sewers, its adoption for street watering has advantages over the use of fresh water and may with advantage be used in comparatively level localities.

170. Any project for the utilisation of sea water for such purposes in the City of Victoria owing to the varying elevations of the built area, viz., from practically sea level to 600 feet above sea level, must necessarily involve the installation and maintenance of pumping machinery and the construction of service reservoirs in addition to those used for the water supplied for potable purposes. It would further be necessary to lay throughout the City a separate system of distribution mains and hydrants.

The cost of such a project would not compare favourably with those gravitation projects put forward in the preceding pages of this report, and, consequently, I am of opinion no such project should be entertained so long as a supply of fresh water sufficient for all purposes can be obtained at a reasonable cost by gravitation.

　　　　173. From the foregoing, it will be seen that the present works, though deficient in filter area, involved a capital expenditure of $205,0 $760,370 per million gallons supplied per diem.

2.7

　　　　The capital expenditure per million gallons supplied per diem on the completion of the works immediately necessary will be $2,513,000 $722,812, and

3.4

　　　　The capital expenditure per million gallons supplied per diem on the completion of the gravita- tion works proposed will be $2,872,000 = $718,000.

　　　　174. It seems probable that, when the works now in progress which are chargeable to the loan are completed, there will be a balance of $300,000 to meet further expenditure on Water Works in the City and Hill District.

　　　　175. The annual revenue derived from the Water Works in the City and Hill District, after deducting the cost of maintenance, is estimated at not less than $60,000, and there was at the end of 1895 a balance to the credit of the Water Account (Section 16, Ordinance 16 of 1890), after crediting it with the expenditure on works chargeable to the loan, of $105,272.07.

　　　　176. Under these circumstances, there appear to be ample funds available to meet the expendi- ture at present required, and the further expenditure proposed will be more than met by the annual balance accruing to the Water Account.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

FRANCIS A. COOPER,

Member of the Institute of Civil Engineers, Fellow of the Sanitary Institute and Member of the Association of Municipal and County Engineers, Director of Public Works.

THE ACTING COLONIAL SURGEON'S REPORT FOR 1895.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 30th April, 1896.

SIR,--I have the honour to forward the Annual Report of the Medical Department for the year 1895, the reports of the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, the Medical Officer in charge of the Goal and the Government Analyst.

POLICE.

The year has been a remarkably healthy one as regards the Police Force. The total number of admissions to the Hospital is by far the smallest during the last ten years, this applies more especially to the European section, as is seen in the following table:-

　　There have been eight deaths amongst the members of the force during the year; one European committed suicide; one Indian and two Chinese died in the Hospital; four Chinese died elsewhere whilst on leave.

The total admissions to Hospital and deaths in the Force for the last ten years are given in the following table :-

POLICE STATIONS.-The accommodation provided in several of the stations for housing the members of the force falls very far short of what I consider necessary to secure the maintenance of the health and vigour of the force.

It is satisfactory to note that additional and improved accommodation is being provided near the Central Station, but in addition to this I would call special attention to the insufficient accom- modation at Stations Nos. 8 and 9 in the City and those at Hunghom and Tai-tam-tuk in the out-lying districts.

I understand that the Captain Superintendent of Police has already represented the necessity of providing new stations to replace the existing Nos. 2 and 7 and the one at Shek O, and pointed out the desirability of providing additional accommodation, including bath-rooms and drying rooms, in the new buildings.

I therefore only emphasize the importance of carrying out these projects at an early date, on the completion of which the relief of the overcrowded condition of the Central Station should be considered.

TROOPS.

　　　There has been an increase in the number of admissions to the Hospital as compared with 1894, but the percentage mortality is the smallest since 1890.

CX

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

　　　　　From Table IV. it will be seen that there was a decided increase in the sickness amongst the Black Troops, admissions to Hospital being 1,003 as against 871 in 1894, whilst the total had only increased from 1,309 in 1894 to 1,315 in 1895; the rate of mortality was, however, decidedly less in both the White and Black Troops, this being more markedly the case with the latter.

It is hoped that the improved accommodation recently provided for the Hongkong Regiment quartered at Kowloon will materially increase the health of the troops.

The following table gives the sickness and mortality among the troops for the past ten years:--

1886,

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

The most noteworthy fact has been the great increase in the number of Asiatics admitted, as compared with last year the figures are 1,054 for 1895, as compared with 787 for 1894.

This class forms now by far the greatest number of any nationality treated. At times there has been great difficulty in accommodating such cases and many have been refused admission owing to the wards being already full.

Endeavours are always made to admit such as seem to require hospital treatment, but if it is the intention of the Government to provide accommodation to meet the increasing demand additional accommodation must be provided either by erecting an annexe in the locality of the present buildings, or a "Pauper Hospital," as in the Straits, in some locality, unless the project proposed in the Superin- tendent's report of 1892 is adopted.

STAFF. The Colonial Surgeon left on the first of May on 12 months' leave, and I took over the duties of his office during his absence with the exception of the two months from 18th June to 15th August during which period I was absent from the Colony on sick leave and Dr. Lowson relieved me.

Dr. CLARK was appointed Assistant Surgeon in this Department on 15th May, and on his arrival in September made himself generally acquainted with local conditions and attended cases in the Government Civil Hospital and Tung Wa. In November he was seconded to the Sanitary Board and since then he has been engaged in work under the Board.

The following table gives the number and classification of those brought to Hospital for the past 10 years:-

From this it will be seen that there is a diminution in one class only, viz., the Police, all the others showing an increase; this is specially noticeable in the return of destitutes who are mainly Chinese. Undoubtedly many more Chinese now avail themselves of the benefits of the Hospital than formerly, the return of out-patients treated also shews a large increase.

·

The Hospital, I understand, was originally intended for the medical treatment of officers and sailors of the mercantile marine, members of the Colonial Government Service and those suffering from accidents brought in by the Police.

Of late years the increase in the number of officers and sailors of the mercantile marine and in the numbers of the persons in the employment of the Colonial Government has materially increased the demand for hospital accommodation. It must further not be lost sight of that officers and men of Foreign Navies and officers of the troops garrisoned here not infrequently avail themselves of this institution.

　　　　As previously pointed out under the above circumstances the admittance of a number of Chinese has to be refused owing to lack of accommodation.

but

The percentage of the total number of admissions (4.99) is less than that of the previous year,. as in 1895 it is above the average of the last ten years. This is due to the fact that many almost hopeless cases have been during these years transferred from the Tung Wa Hospital as shewn by the increased mortality amongst the Chinese admitted, viz., 8.35 per cent. as against 2.47 per cent. in the European, see table VI.

The admissions are by far the largest in any year of the Hospital's existence.

Table Va to g

shows the nature of the the diseases patients admitted to the Hospital suffered from. Table VI. gives the rate of mortality amongst the different classes of patients during the past ten years.

Table VII. gives the admissions and deaths during each month of the year.

From this it will be seen, as might be expected, that the months of August, September and October contribute the greatest number of admissions.

The total amount of fees received from paying patients during the year was $15,395.48.

LUNATIC ASylums.

There is a decided diminution to report in the number of Europeans under treatment, and a marked increase in the Chinese, 76 having been admitted during the year as against 37 in 1894.

During the year there were eight deaths. Twenty were transferred to Canton.

INFECTIOUS HOSPITALS.

Kennedy Town Hospital.

14

　　　This building was handed over to the Department in April, 1895, and is a most valuable adjunct for the treatment of persons suffering from infectious disease.

'It is situated at the extreme western limits of the City and, consists of one two-storied block -containing accommodation for 36 patients together with attendant's room, office and dispensary within the premises and approached by a covered way are situated the necessary kitchen, stores, mortuary and out-offices. The concreted yard surrounding the buildings provides suitable sites for the erection of temporary matsheds which, during the prevalence of epidemics, will be found most useful.

There were five cases of small-pox treated there during the year, one of which that of a man who was admitted in a moribund condition terminated fatally three hours after admission.

There were in addition 40 patients admitted to this Hospital during the year, 31 of these proved to be bubonic plague, the remaining nine were removed to this Hospital under observation.

Temporary Small-pox Hospital.

In addition to the foregoing cases treated at the Kennedy Town Hospital 20 patients suffering from small-pox were treated here, three of which terminated fatally. The fatal cases were those of Chinese foundlings who had not been vaccinated.

　　　Two cases of cholera removed from H.M.S. Rainbow were treated during the year, neither cases ended fatally.

Hospital Hulk "Hygeia."

The hospital ship was maintained during the year in a satisfactory condition.

Public Mortuary.

　　　150 bodies were received at the Mortuary during the year, the particulars as to nationality and cause of death are given in table VIII.

472.00

These figures show a considerable increase in the number of prisoners, 1,101 more being admitted than in 1894, in only two years in the last ten is this number exceeded.

The number of prisoners admitted to the Hospital was less than in 1894, the figure being 231 as compared with 271.

Of those treated in the hospital 45 were suffering from malarial fever, 24 from anamia; whilst there, were fifteen contused wounds from flogging and 12 gluteal abscesses the result of flogging.

I would submit for consideration the advisability of more frequent floggings of a smaller number of strokes at a time; there was only one case of gluteal abscess the result of flogging in 1894, therefore either the punishment must have been inflicted more vigorously or the subjects were of poorer physique.

Of the 948 cases treated in the cells 508 suffered from contusions the result of floggings, two of which were Europeans. The total number of floggings was 535 as compared with 208 in 1894. Of the others not treated in the hospital venereal and cutaneous diseases, chiefly scabies and ringworm, formed the greater percentage.

There were seven deaths from natural causes, one Chinaman committed suicide by hanging him- self in the cell, and two were executed.

TUNG WA HOSPITAL.

The number of cases treated in this Hospital during the year was 2,732 compared with 2,354 in 1894; of these 1,457 were discharged, 145 being transferred to the Government Civil Hospital.

There were 1,210 deaths, 494 occurring within forty-eight hours of admission.

Five cases of small-pox were admitted prior to May, of these one died and four were discharged. 1,939 vaccinations were performed by the native doctors, 188 of these being in the outlying districts. Many improvements have been effected during the past year:-

Small-pox cases are no longer admitted for treatment but are sent to one of the infectious hospitals attached to this Department.

The wooden cubicles and the obstructions from the verandahs have been removed thus promoting cleanliness and admitting more light and freer ventilation to the wards.

The patients have been provided on admission with Hospital clothing, their own being disinfected A new mortuary is in course of erection at the extreme southern limit of the Hospital premises, provided with quarters for an attendant.

Monthly meetings have been held with the Committee attended by the Registrar General and myself, various recommendations have been made some of which have been carried out, much, however, still remains to be done.

VACCINE INSTITUTE.

This has been satisfactorily maintained and during the winter was in working order. Lymph was obtained early in October under my superintendence, Mr. LADDS, the Superintendent of the Institute, being away on leave. The stock from which we started our supply was obtained from Dr. NAKAGAWA in Japan.

Owing to Messrs. WATSON & Co. having informed me that no further supplies were required early in December last, I have received applications from various medical practitioners and firms to which I have responded.

The results obtained by the civil medical practitioners and public vaccinators have been very satisfactory.

HEALTH OF THE COLONY.

Table XVI. shows that there has been a slight diminution in the number of deaths among the foreign residents, the percentage of deaths being 2.43 as compared with 2.53 in 1894.

I am afraid that for the purposes of vital statistics the table giving deaths amongst the Chinese is practically worthless. To prove this it is only necessary to compare the return for the last two years. the idea that so many deaths are due to Simple Continued Fever is ridiculous.

An improvement in this respect may be anticipated in course of next few years after the passing

of the new Births and Deaths Registration Ordinance.

CXIV

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

Plague made its appearance again at the end of April, but did not obtain a footing in the Colony. How far this was due to climatic conditions and how far to the prompt measures which were taken to deal with the disease, it is impossible to definitely say, but it is satisfactory to be able to report that though isolated cases occurred practically for the rest of the year there were only 44 cases in all, in every case excepting one, which was under treatment at the end of the year and afterwards recovered, the disease proved fatal so that the type was evidently of a virulent nature. In appendix A is given a list of all the cases reported during the year. From this it will be seen that 31 cases were admitted alive to Kennedy Town Hospital, of these one recovered. With the exception of three Portuguese all were Chinese.

　　　　Canton was reported practically free of the disease during the year, but Macao was visited with a severe epidemic in the months of April and May.

The system employed was-

1. Isolation of those attacked by the disease at Kennedy Town Hospital.

2. Disinfection of the infected houses.

3. Segregation of the people exposed to the infection in large house-boats to the north of Stone- cutters' Island for a limited period. That this latter is a most important measure was proved by the fact that cases of plague occurred amongst those so segregated (see para. 10 of Report shewing progress of special work carried out for the prevention of the further spread of Bubonic Plague, dated Sanitary Board, 21st October, 1895). The period of segregation was fixed at ten days; as the maximum incubation period in the 1894 epidemic was found to be nine days. The extent to which isolation of this nature can be carried out is limited in the event of a large number of cases occurring.

　　　　Nearly all the Chinese houses are "tenement houses" every floor consisting of three or four cubicles, each with a family residing therein; the people segregated have been generally those living on the same floor as the person attacked.

Notwithstanding all that has been done during the year with reference more especially to cleaning basements, removal of cocklofts and cubicles, licensing of lodging-houses and the increased number of Sanitary Inspectors, no one acquainted with the elements of sanitation and the conditions of filth, overcrowding and ignorance that exists amongst the majority can hope to see for some years to come those conditions necessary for the maintenance of the public health satisfactorily established in this City..

　　　　I am of opinion that the only way to materially improve the present unsatisfactory condition of the Town is by the introduction of some such Act into the Ordinances of the Colony as the "Housing of the Working Class Act, 1890."

The following extract from Whitelegge's "Manual of Hygiene and Public Health" gives the general scope of the Act :-

?

"Part I. deals with unhealthy areas, and is applicable to urban sanitary districts.

"It is the duty of the Medical Officer of Health to make an official representation to the Sanitary "Authority whenever he sees cause to do so, that within a certain area either (a) any houses or courts "are unfit for habitation, or (b) the bad arrangement or condition of the streets or houses, or the want "of light, ventilation, or proper conveniences, or any other sanitary defects, are dangerous to the health "of the inhabitants; and that the evils cannot be effectually remedied otherwise than by re-arrangement

or reconstruction of some or all of the streets or houses.

(6

　　　　"The Sanitary Authorities must consider this representation, and if satisfied of the truth thereof, "and of the sufficiency of their resources, must declare the area to be an unhealthy one and frame an "improvement scheme.

are:

With regard to sanitary legislation the most important Acts that have been passed during the year 1. Bye-laws providing for the compulsory reporting of certain communicable diseases were

approved by the Legislative Council on 25th November, 1895. (See appendix.) This is practically the same as the Infectious Diseases Notification Act of 1889 at Home. The object of these bye-laws is to obtain early and complete knowledge of all cases of notifiable diseases and information of the particular district in which they occur.

2. New Births and Deaths Registration Ordinance.

The present unsatisfactory state of the registration of deaths requires early consideration. The obtaining of accurate vital statistics is a matter of great sanitary importance, and I note with satisfaction the intention of the Government to introduce at an early date an amending Ordinance dealing with this subject.

　　　During the year under review all chair and jinricksha coolies applying for licences were medically examined for the first time in the month of December. The result of the examination was as follows:-

2,072 men were examined, out of which 124 (6 per cent.) were rejected as unfit for such

employment.

　　　Each coolie is photographed when he receives his licence, but it is feared that many transfer their licences.

The recent introduction of a medical examination before granting a licence, however, affords some protection to the public who have a right to demand the production of the licence and photograph from

Months.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE hongkong GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. CXV

the coolie, and it is to be hoped that this right will be exercised and in the event of the description of the holder not answering to that contained in the licence and photograph the case will be reported to the Police.

　　　Though there has been an exceptional amount of disease of the nature of malarial fever and in some cases of dengue reported during the year, the statistics, especially of the Police and Troops, show as compared with previous years a general improvement in the health of the Colony.

CXXXIV SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

Appendix B.

SIR,-In the enclosed table which is compiled from the Colonial Surgeon's Annual Reports is given the Contagious Diseases returns for the past ten years.

The return for 1894 applies to the first five months of the year only, as after 31st May no returns were furnished by the Military.

It was on the 1st September, 1887, that the compulsory medical examination of women was abolished by an order from Her Majesty's Government.

　　　　The average percentage of inen per month who contracted the disease in the Colony is seen to have risen from 22 in 1886 to 49 in 1894, in other words in 1894 more than twice the number· of men contracted this disease than in 1886.

The Naval returns have not been sent to the Medical Department since 1890. It will be seen that taking the two years prior to the repeal and the two years subsequent the number of men admitted to the Naval Hospital suffering from Venereal Diseases was:-

1885 and 1886, 1888 and 1889,

435

593

With the Military the increase is more marked, the numbers being as follows:-

1885 and 1886,

.....

1888 and 1889,

1892 and 1893,

378

853

....

1,179

　　　　I have included 1892 and 1893, as they are the last two years in which complete returns were given.

　　　　　From this it will be seen that in 1892 and 1893 more than four times the number of soldiers were diseased than in 1885 and 1886, though the percentages when worked out shew 14 for 1885 and 1886, and only 2·78 for 1888 and 1889, and 2.28 for 1892 and 1893.

　　　　With regard to the patients in the Civil Hospital it is more difficult to draw absolute deductions. In the Annual Report of the Government Civil Hospital for 1889 I stated:-

　　　　　"Venereal Diseases.-There has been a marked increase in this class of diseases the numbers being 206 as against 118* in the previous year. Although many of these cases have been introduced into the Colony from other ports, I have no reason to believe that this has been more so than in the previous year."

　　　　Although many may have contracted the disease elsewhere, on the other hand there are those who have contracted the disease here and in whom the disease has not become developed until after they have left the Colony.

Taking the same years as before the numbers read-

1885 and 1886,

1888 and 1889,

1892 and 1893,

195

200

301

With regard to the Police admitted with venereal complaints to the Civil Hospital the increase is apparent-

1885 and 1886,

1888 and 1889,

52 111

　　　　It must also be borne in mind that the number of persons contracting constitutional syphilis has very

much increased; this, in my opinion, is a direct result of the repeal of the Act.

　　　　It is only to be expected that the disease must become more virulent as the women fail to submit themselves to treatment.

In the Annual Report of the Government Civil Hospital for 1891 I stated under the heading Venereal Diseases :-

"Although there is a diminution in the total number of cases under treatment during 1891 as compared with 1890, viz., 230 as against* 266. On examination Table Vf. it will be seen that there has been a great increase in the number of cases of Primary and Secondary Syphilis, the numbers being 94 as against 93 in 1890, an increase of 118 per cent.

17th March, 1896.

Enclosure 1.

Report of the Superintendent of the Government Civil Flospital.

I. THE HOSPITAL BUILDINGS.

The main portion of the Hospital has been kept in an efficient state without exceptional repairs. It is, however, time that the buildings should be again painted and colour-washed throughout.

　　I have again to request attention to the recommendation I made in my report for 1893, para. 3, as to provision of additional accommodation for private wards (1st and 2nd class).

The increase in the number of Chinese availing themselves of this Hospital has with the present accommodation, I regret to say, rendered it impossible to accommodate all, and I trust that the question of reserving a site for a new Hospital, referred to in my reports for 1892 and 1893, has not been lost sight of.

　　The question of providing available Laundry and Washhouse accommodation has been dealt with in C.S.O. 11, and I hope that the necessary funds for erecting and fitting up a suitable building will shortly be provided.

II.-LUNATIC ASYLUMS.

With the exception of railing in the upper verandah of the European Asylum, no alterations or additions calling for remark have been made.

III.-SMALL-POx HOSPITAL AND HOSPITAL HULK Hygeia.

　　It is satisfactory to note that the old temporary small-pox buildings have been removed and the work of erecting on this site a suitable Isolation Hospital in connection with the Government Civil Hospital has been cominenced (see C.S.O.'s 14 and 1838).

1894

The Hospital Ship Hygeia has been maintained in a satisfactory state of repair.

993

IIIA.--INFECTIOUS HOSPITAL.

As was decided in CS.O. 1 the Kennedy Town Police Station has been handed over to this Department as an Infectious Hospital.

Certain alterations and additions have been effected to render this building suitable for the purpose, and I would point out the desirability of the public disinfecting apparatus being removed to a suitable site in proximity to these buildings.

IV.--MEDICAL STAFF QUARrters.

The ravages of white ants in this building have necessitated considerable repairs being executed during the

year, and this building also requires colour-washing and painting throughout.

V.-HOSPITAL PREMISES.

These have been maintained in a satisfactory condition as far as the money available would permit.

CXXXVI SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

VI.HOSPITAL AND NURSING STAFF.

Mr. Lowson, Acting Superintendent, was granted three weeks' sick leave in January, arrangements having been made with Dr. BELL to perform his duties (C.S.O. 95 of 1895).

Police. The total number under treatment was 39 less than in the previous year. to the different nationalities, there was a decrease of 31 amongst the European member of the Force, an increase of 10 amongst the Chinese.

Gaol Officers.--There were 68 under treatment during the year as follows:-

Head Turnkeys, Hospital Warder, Turnkeys,..... Guards,.

The diseases which caused the greatest number of admissions were :--Venereal 12, and Malarial Fever 9.

In the one fatal case the cause of death was multiple abscesses of liver

Influenza.--There were twenty-one cases under treatment during the year with one death.

Typhoid Fever.--Fourteen cases were under treatment during the year with two deaths; of these all but four originated in the Colony, two were members of the Police Force and occurred at Yaumati, viz., a European Inspector and a Police Constable.

　　　　Cholera.--With the exception of the two marines admitted from H.M.S. Rainbow and treated in the Temporary Small-pox Hospital there were no cases admitted suffering from this disease.

Dysentery.--There were 63 cases under treatment with one death.

Malarial Fever.--There was a marked increase in the number of cases under treatment suffering from this class of disease, the numbers being 368 as compared with 244 in 1894; of these 317 were cases of Intermittent Fever, 51 cases of Remittent Fever.

　　　　The disease was more prevalent during the months of August, September and October, but was generally of a mild type. The Western District of the City appeared to be the one most affected and this was to a great extent caused by the increased building operations, preparation of sites, &c. in that locality.

　　　　At the Diocesan School, which is situated in this District, from August 17th to September 20th fifty-eight cases of malarial fever occurred, the average number of boys during that time being 60, so that practically every boy was attacked.

From the 22nd September two grains of quinine were given daily to every boy in the school with the result that during the following month only twenty-eight cases were reported and in several of these the attack was very mild only lasting for one day. This is another example of the value of Quinine as a prophylactic against malaria. In November with the onset of the cool weather the fever practically

ceased.

Frequent miscroscopical examinations of the blood of malarial fever patients were made, in by far the greater majority of the cases the spherical form of the malarial parasite was only found, the crescents were met with in the remittent type of the disease, and the only case in which flagella were found was one of pernicious remittent which rapidly proved fatal.

　　　　Beri-beri.--There were twenty-two cases under treatment with six deaths, most of these being admitted from the Tung Wa Hospital.

CXXXVIII SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

Venereal Diseases.-There is again an increase in the admissions from these diseases, the numbers being 298 as against 272 in 1894.

　　　I enclose in appendix B. a return shewing the spread of venereal diseases in the Colony since the repeal of the C.D. Act.

　　　Injuries.--There is an increase under this heading, the numbers being 165 compared with 132 in 1894, with 13 deaths; all the fatal cases being Chinese. Many of these injuries were the result of accidents, e.g., seven were caused by fracture of skull, three from severe scalds, and one a case of severe burns.

Surgical Operations.--There were 108 operations during the year with 7 deaths.

　　　Poisoning.-There were only seven cases of poisoning admitted during the year, the smallest number for years.

In the two fatal cases the poisonous agent was opium.

Small-pox.--There were 25 cases under treatment with four deaths; particulars are given in

Enclosure 2.

Report from the Medical Officer in charge of Gaol Hospital.

GAOL HOSPITAL, HONGKONG, 9th April, 1896.

SIR, I have the honour to forward the Annual Report for 1895 together with the following statistical tables.

　　Table IX. K. shows the number of prisoners admitted into Hospital and the diseases from which they were suffering; Table XIa. M. the cases that were admitted on first medical examination; Table X. N. the cases that were treated without being received into the Hospital. The rate of sick- ness and mortality is given in Table XI. 0; the number and percentage of prisoners admitted on first medical examination, in Table XIb. L; that of opium smokers admitted into Hospital, in Table XI. P; the weight of opium smokers for the first four weeks' confinement in Table XI. Q. The record of this last table was, as usual, taken by the Hospital warders.

　　2. The admissions were much smaller than on the previous year. Although there were 5,014 prisoners in the Gaol, only 231 including 24 Europeans, were received into Hospital; while in 1894, there were 3,913 in the Gaol, and the admissions into Hospital attained to 271. A large proportion of these prisoners were suffering last year from fever and, as it was expected, from anamia.

3. In an establishment like this, the number of patients alone, without reference to diseases and to places where they were contracted, cannot constitute a sure criterion for judging of its healthiness; because, as I have stated before, many prisoners on their admission were found sick or unable to undergo the punishments to which they had been sentenced.

　　4. It is chiefly with the Chinese prisoners and others who are kept in the same group, of fourteen days' sentences or under, that need be watched more closely. Their daily ration food consists of eighteen ounces of common rice with half an ounce of salt, to be divided into two meals, morning and evening. They have to pick daily 24 ounces of oakum or do some other light work. It is only on medical grounds that some of them get a little tea or congee or more food. I was told that the Gao! would be crowded, if the prisoners of the class were allowed a better dietetic scale.

?

　　5. The prisoners that were treated without being kept in the Hospital amounted to 983, com- prising 61 Europeans. Venereal and cutaneous diseases, boils and abscesses in different regions of the body, formed the greater percentage of those cases.

　　6. There were seven deaths amongst the Chinese prisoners from the following diseases :--- Rupture of gall-bladder from obstruction of the bile duct, due to a malignant growth on the head of pancreas; Pneumonia of right lung, Pulmonary Phthisis; Edema of both lungs; Pulmonary Congestion, and two deaths in consequence of Dysentery and general debility. One Chinaman, an old offender, committed suicide by hanging himself in his cell. Two Chinese were executed by order of the Supreme Court. One Indian, who belonged to the Asiatic Artillery and was sentenced to three years' hard labour for cutting and wounding, was released on medical recommendation, after having been eight months in Gaol. You will remember having examined him. He was suffering froni anamia and diarrhoea and, subsequently, from gangrenous stomatitis. He was in a very weak state and low spirits, but when he heard that he had been granted pardon, so powerful was the emotion, that it enabled him to stand up and walk, and his health improved remarkably in a few days.

In this list are

7. The number of those that had received corporal punishment came up to 535. also included those that were flogged by order of the Supreme Court and of the Magistrate.

8. Amongst the prisoners that have been arrested or sentenced. I found that twelve Chinese male and one female were lepers. Almost all of them belonged to the neighbourhood of the mainland. and some had come to this Colony for treatment, and had in their possession prescriptions from a well known European medical practitioner.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

　　　　The lymph used was principally from the Vaccine Institute of this Colony. It was sent in tubes and also as an emulsion, and is of an excellent quality. Owing, however, to the supply not being constant, the vaccination was interrupted for some time, but I do not think it was of much conse- quence, for, as I had occasion to remark before, the daily examinations conducted for a series of years showed that a great proportion of the Chinese prisoners had been vaccinated or inoculated in their homes. They value the benefits derived from the operation, and had no objection whatever to being re-vaccinated.

　　　　10. Since the passing of the Morphine Ordinance, several Chinese were sent to Gaol for illegally injecting that drug. Their arms and thighs were inflammed and covered with thick crusts, the result of frequent injections, and being opium smokers, all those cases were recorded under that heading. The arms of a female prisoner were also in a similar state, produced by the same cause. It would be more correct in future if those cases were returned in a separate table.

?

　　　　11. The sanitary conditions of the Gaol have continued good, and no pains have been spared by the whole staff to keep it as clean as possible.

　　　　12. Formerly, whenever a patient under medical observation as to his sanity made a great deal of noise, disturbing the rest of the patients or attempted to commit suicide, he was removed to the entrance hall and kept there under the constant watch of the officer stationed there. Under the new regula- tions, this is not permissible. He must remain in the Hospital which has very limited space. There are only seven cells for the reception of patients, two with two beds in each, being reserved for Europeans. The Chinese sleep on the floor, and in this way more Chinese patients can be accom- modated in one cell. This Gaol has been recently enlarged and some alterations are being made. It would be convenient to have special cells, a little distant from the other patients, for the prisoners of the class above referred to and for those suspected of suffering from infectious diseases.

　　　　13. Assistant Warder D. AHMED retired last December on pension. He was steady and attentive to his duty and was very useful, as he is conversant with various languages. Assistant Turnkey SUNDER SINGH was appointed to the vacant place.

14. There have been no serious diseases in the Female Gaol. A few women, with trifling com- plaints, were nursed by the Matron Mrs. NOLAN, who carried out faithfully the medical directions for their treatment.

15. In compliance with instructions received last August, I have been visiting weekly the Reformatory at West Point, where there are special apartments for the young offenders sent there by order of the Magistrate. Up to the end of last December, there were only four boys. They were in good health. That establishment is salubrious. It is situated on an elevated and dry ground, well ventilated, between broad roads and facing the harbour. The district, however, is known as malarial.

　　　　16. As I stated last year, the statistical tables could no longer be printed in the Gaol and I had to depend entirely on the Government printers. This year, as they had in hand many more important work, there was a greater delay in printing those tables, and for this reason, I was unable to write this report sooner.

TOXICOLOGICAL.

3. The toxicological cases investigated during the past year include three cases of human poisoning. In the first instance, Orpiment was detected, the second was a case of Datura poisoning, and the third a case of death from the administration of Gelsemium elegans.

　　　4. Orpiment.-In October, application was made by the Principal Medical Officer, Army Medical Department, for the analysis of a small quantity of curried beef that had been prepared for six men of No. 3 section, "A" Company, Hongkong Regiment. It appears from the report of the Medical Officer in charge of the Station Hospital, Kowloon, that, twenty minutes after partaking of the food, all the men were seized with vomiting, heartburn and giddiness, followed soon by bodily pains and a burning sensation of the skin. There was no diarrhoea in any of the cases. All the men recovered. The substance submitted for analysis was taken from the cooking vessel and weighed less than one ounce. It contained 33.74 grains of Orpiment-the yellow or ter-sulphide of arsenic. It is believed that the poison had been placed in the cooking vessel while the men were absent on parade. There was, however, no evidence to support a charge before the Magistrate. To my knowledge Orpiment, as well as Realgar, the red sulphide, is readily procurable at an Indian store in this Colony.

5. Datura. In the second case of poisoning, an alkaloid, analogous to the active principle of Nau yung fa, # (Datura alba, Nees.), was detected in a number of exhibits forwarded by the Police. The man charged in this case with administering a stupefying drug was tried at the Supreme Court and convicted.

6. Gelsemium elegans.--In November a mysterious case of death by poisoning occurred at 32, Temple Street, Yaumati. According to the statement made by the father, the victim, a Chinese girl 18 years of age, had a quarrel with her parents on the evening of the 25th and again on the following morning. At 2 p.in. on the 26th he came home and found the girl suffering apparently from the effects of poison. He did not report the matter to the Police until about 3.30 p.m., and when the Inspector arrived on the scene (3.45 p.m.) the girl was dead. The parents disappeared soon after enquiries had been instituted: the affair could not therefore be further investigated and consequently did not come into the Police Court. At the Police Station the father declared that the girl admitted having poisoned herself with a decoction of a drug which she had prepared in the kitchen. The remaining portion of the drug in question was found in a cooking vessel and forwarded to the Laboratory for examination. An alkaloid was extracted and found to display the characters of the active principle of the root of Tin Cheung ts'o, (Gelsemium elegans, Benth.) which were first described in my annual report for 1884. This is the second case of poisoning by the root of Gelsemium elegans that has come within my experience during the last thirteen years.

CXLII

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

POTABLE WATERS.

　　　　7. Of the fifty-three potable waters analysed during the past year, ten were samples from the Pokfulam, Taitam, and Kowloon supplies. The remainder were mostly samples from wells in various parts of Kowloon and the City of Victoria forwarded by the Sanitary Board.

8. From the analyses that have been made of samples from the Kowloon service it is quite evident that residents in that district have now accessible a water supply of excellent quality. The service was inaugurated only about a year ago. The most recent analyses indicate that in point of organic and inorganic purity the results leave nothing to be desired.

　　　　9. The results of the analysis of samples from the Pokfulam and Taitam reservoirs indicate that these supplies continue to maintain their excellent qualities.

　　　　10. In appendix A to this report are set forth the results of the analyses of 40 samples of well waters. It will be observed that many are highly polluted. In some the evidence of pollution is not by any means marked. In considering the chlorine figures the situation of the well in respect of the distance from the sea must not be overlooked. Mention should be made of the fact that all these wells are shallow in the strictest sense. There is absolutely no provision for the exclusion of subsoil drainage. These so-called wells are, in the majority of instances, merely holes in the ground a few feet deep lined with loose granite blocks. They would not be incorrectly described as subsoil water catch-pits. On the analytical evidence alone it was not considered expedient to certify against many of the samples submitted: nevertheless, I am strongly of opinion that none but the most pressing considerations should suggest a recourse to any of the existing badly constructed wells in the crowded city of Victoria as a source of supply of water for dietetic purposes. It is highly probable if these wells be examined at some future time, and during a season with a normal rainfall, that evidence of pollution, sufficient to justify their condemnation will be forthcoming.

THE DANGEROUS GOODS ORDINANCES, 1873 AND 1892.

11. Ten steamers with petroleum in bulk arrived from Batoum during the year and discharged the whole or part of their cargoes. The 107 samples of oil forwarded by the Harbour Master were found to give off inflammable vapour at temperatures considerably above the 73° F. limit laid down in the rules and regulations made by the Governor in Council on the 7th of December, 1892, under these Ordinances which are restricted to petroleum imported in bulk only.

　　　　12. Under this heading allusion might be made to the examination of a kerosene oil lamp and sample of case oil made at the request of the Public Works Department, a number of accidents having occurred with lamps of a like construction and burning a similar oil. The kerosene was found to flash at 69° F., which, apart from a structural defect in the lamp impeding the escape of the products of combustion, was sufficient to account for the accidents referred to.

· MILK.

13. Four samples of milk were submitted for analysis; the results are set forth in the following table :-

The first and second samples were from dairies in Kowloon; the third and fourth from a dairy in Hongkong.

　　　14. These results demonstrate the excellent quality of the milk even as compared with the best dairy samples obtained in Great Britain.

15. The milk supplied under contract to the Civil Medical Department has been regularly tested by the Steward of the Civil Hospital at each morning and afternoon delivery. The results of these hydrometric examinations have been satisfactory throughout the year.

16. In some quarters an idea prevails that cows' milk produced locally is inferior in quality to the milk of cows fed in England. The investigations conducted in this Laboratory in past years do not support this contention.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. CXLIII

1

17. In appendix B. to this report will be found the results of the analyses of 24 specimens of milk from one of the largest dairies under European management in this Colony which have hitherto not been published. The samples represent the mixed product of a large number of cows. The authenticity of the milk in each case can be proved.

18. It will be seen that the non-fatty solids vary from 8.7 to 9.5, the fat from 3.1 to 4.2, and the ash from .54 to .75 per cent. These results agree with those obtained by the late Principal of the Somerset House Laboratory and by the analyst to the Aylesbury Dairy Company. A comparison of the averages obtained by these investigators and the average results of the analysis of the Hongkong specimens appears at the foot of the table. In the case of the non-fatty solids, the constituents on which the presence of added water is determined and calculated, it will be seen that the results are practically identical. The method of analysis adopted by the Somerset House chemists has been rigidly adhered to in every instance.

THE MORPHINE ORDINANCE, 1893.

19. In six prosecutions under this Ordinance, twenty-three Police Court exhibits were forwarded by the Magistrate for examination. Nineteen were found to contain morphine hydrochloride. In the case heard on the 5th of December two of the exhibits consisted of the alkaloid strychnine. It is not clear, how, or with what object, this poisonous substance is used by injectors of morphine. In one quarter I was informed that the use of strychnine rendered necessary the employment of a smaller quantity of morphine and that less irritation was caused by the puncture of the injection needle. There is room for further investigation in this matter.

ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS.

　　20. Medicated Wines.-For several years the question of the sale without a licence of Chinese so-called medicated wines has been the subject of enquiry, but not until last year has it been argued in the Supreme Court.

　　21. The following free translation of a Chinese label will afford an indication of the general character of these wines. In nearly every instance they are recommended for a purpose that cannot be mentioned here :----

"The medicated wines of this shop have been carefully manufactured from the best selected drugs. This wine acts not only as a tonic but it drives away disease as well, converts the old man into a youth, can prolong life, changes the weak into the strong, and stops the feeling of lassitude after hard work. It gives good spirits and muscular strength: its uses are unlimited. Those gentlemen who have tried it will know that there is no falsehood in these words."

　　The wines are put up in reputed pints and quarts. The former are sold at prices ranging from 10 to 17 cents each. In all cases the bottles are labelled, but no dose is specified.

22. In the following table will be found a statement of the composition of the 12 specimens forwarded by the Police:-

All the liquors were pleasant to the taste. The colour varied from that of sherry to that of port. 23. The Magistrate decided that these preparations came under the definition of "Intoxicating liquor" laid down in section 2 of The Spirit Licences Ordinance, 1886. An appeal was lodged against this ruling, but the decision of the Magistrate was ultimately upheld.

24. Foreign Liquors.-At the request of the Sanitary Board investigations have been made as to the composition of some of the cheap alcoholic liquors sold in this Colony at 25 cents a reputed quart. It will be seen from the results quoted below that the liquids do not differ in composition, in respect of the particulars stated, from genuine rum and gin.

A number of other observations were therefore made with a view to obtaining a more intimate knowledge of the composition of these spirits. A qualitative examination for fusel compounds revealed the fact that but a faint trace existed in the Rums; a notable trace was, however, present in the Gin.

25. From the evidence taken before a Select Committee of the House of Commons, on British and Foreign Spirits, which sat during the sessions of 1890 and 1891 it appears that 1230 per cent, calculated on the spirit of proof strength, of fusel compounds was the highest result obtained in the Inland Revenue Laboratory in the course of the examination of 51 samples of genuine Whiskey by the process described in Appendix No. 4 to the second report, (Session 1891, p. 132). The specimen of gin alluded to above was found to contain 1398 per cent of similar compounds. Further experi- ments showed that this spirit was the variety known as " Whiskey Gin prepared by adding to a plain white spirit a suitable quantity of whiskey essence or flavouring.

　　　　26. Another examination was made in order to ascertain the presence of furfuraldehyde. The following are the results :-

　　　　27. From the results of the investigation the rums were found to resemble the artificial liquids found in commerce which are prepared by adding to plain spirit the appropriate flavour. Both appeared to contain some real rum, but they lacked to a great extent the flavour and aroma of the genuine spirit. The original spirit employed in their manufacture appeared to have been carefully rectified. The three samples, speaking generally, could not be declared to contain anything injurious to health.

Their

　　　　28. Two other samples of Rum were examined and found to be adulterated with water. alcoholic strength was 45 and 45.5 degrees under proof, respectively. They did not contain any deleterious substances.

MISCELLANEOUS.

　　　　29. Blood stains.-In connection with an enquiry concerning a mutilated body found in the harbour, two articles of clothing were sent to be examined for blood stains. The corpse from which they had been removed had been in the water several days. Negative results were obtained.

　　　　30. In a case of alleged murder, 16 articles of clothing were examined for blood stains. The dark coloured matter resembling blood stains was isolated and found to exhibit characters quite distinct from the colouring matter of blood.

　　　　31. Counterfeit Coins.-In connection with a charge of circulating counterfeit coins, a number of 20-cent pieces (similar to those of the Canton mint) were forwarded for analysis by the Captain Super- intendent of Police. The coins had a specific gravity of 9.689 and contained 45 22 and 52.90 per cent of silver and copper, respectively. The specific gravity of a genuine Canton 20-cent piece was found to be 10.264. From information furnished by the Manager of the Canton mint it appears that only 18 per cent. of copper enters into the composition of the 20-cent tokens.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. CXLV

32. Fire enquiry.-In April a report was called for by the Police Magistrate on a basket of debris from a house that had been destroyed by fire. There was a considerable quantity of paper that had been oiled with petroleum and a fixed oil; but the chief object of interest was a curious arrangement of matches round a large joss stick. The matches were secured in a row with thread and strips of paper, the heads being all in the same direction and in contact one with another. The joss stick, about inch in diameter, was placed in the middle of the row in such a way that, when it had smouldered down to a particular point, the matches would instantly be ignited. It was an exceed- ingly clever device and would answer the purpose of a slow match and firing train admirably.

33. Disinfectants.-Special reports on the composition of Tuson's, Essets, and Blackheads's Disin- fectants, have been prepared for the information of the Sanitary Board.

The

　　　34. Laboratory.-The performance of analytical work has been considerably facilitated by the fitting up of the new Government Laboratory which fronts on Eastern Street. The Laboratory Office, store rooms, &c., comprise the greater part of the wing at the west end of the Staff Quarters. The room containing the laboratory fittings is 41 feet long, 21 feet wide and 14 feet high. Around the walls are five benches, each 11 feet long, two of which are fitted with high pressure taps for filtration and drying in vacuo. The benches are of teak throughout and the tops have been thoroughly dressed with hard paraffin to obviate any damage from contract with strong acids and alkalis. Each bench is raised about 2 inches from the floor to guard against the attacks of white ants. gas and water fittings have also been so arranged as to admit of the benches being readily moved away from the walls when necessary. A commodious fume chamber is attached to the east wall and as the flue is connected with the chimney communicating with the room below an extra strong current can be created from the fire-place underneath the Laboratory. In the construction of this chamber as much glass as possible has been used.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　has been used. It is therefore well lighted and can be kept thoroughly clean. A desk, balance table, and distillation bench are located in the centre of the room. The distillation bench has a superficial area of 18 sq. feet. The top is suitably leaded and amply provided with gas and water. Adjoining it, stands a water tank of a capacity of about 50 gallons-a suitable reserve in view of contingencies. The balance table supports two instruments by BECKER of Rotterdam and one of the Roberval type. A two-inch gas supply is laid on to this room. Two smaller rooms are used for the storage of chemicals and apparatus: another of moderate dimensions serves the purpose of an Office and Library.

　　　35. It will be seen from the above description that the arrangement of the laboratory differs in several particulars from what is usually considered desirable in Great Britain, but climatic conditions, and an experience extending over more than a decade as to the nature and structure of the plant desirable for the proper discharge of the chemical work likely to be required by the Government has rendered certain departures necessary.

36. Library. The following works have been added to the Library during the past year :---

"Animal Alkaloids, Cadaveric and Vital;" by A. M. BROWN, M.D. (1894).

Micro-organisms in Water;" by PERCY FRANKLAND, F.R.S., and Mrs. PERCY FRANK-

LAND, (1894).

Dictionary of the Active Principles of Plants" by C. E. SOHN, F.C.S., (1894).

"Watts' Dictionary of Chemistry" 4 Vols., by M. M. PATTISON MUIR, M.A., and H.

FORSTER MORLEY, M.A., D.Sc., (1890).

"Manual of Bacteriology" by Dr. S. L. SCHENK, (1893).

"Dictionary of Applied Chemistry," by T. E. THORPE, F.R.S., 3 Vols., (1891).

37. The library is not yet on a satisfactory footing, as for the most part only spasmodic additions have formerly been made thereto. I am hoping that the Government may be able to make a small grant annually in order that necessary works of reference may be provided and the library kept up to date.

　　　38. Research.-An investigation dealing with the composition of Chinese Opium was completed last year, and the results, in the form of a paper by Mr. FRANK BROWNE, the Assistant Government Analyst, were published in the Pharmaceutical Journal of the 14th December, 1895.

　　　39. During my absence on special service at the Sanitary Board from April 18th to December 1st, Mr. FRANK BROWNE, the Assistant Government Analyst, undertook the direction of the Government- Laboratory.

REPORT ON PLAGUE.

HON. COLONIAL SECRETARY,

(Minute by the Acting Colonial Surgeon.)

　　　　　I forward herewith for the information of His Excellency the Governor a short report by Dr. WILM on plague.

　　　　　This will be supplemented by a further report after more extended investigations have been made with the apparatus which is expected shortly from Europe.

J. M. ATKINSON,

K-CLINICAL SYMPTOMS AND PATHOLOGY.

Acting Colonial Surgeon.

(a) Most of the cases began without prodromal symptoms. Europeans and servants of Europeans generally show a sudden development of the disease in the middle of work, having felt quite well up to the time of attack. The fever begins suddenly and prostration and the other well known symptoms of Plague rapidly set in. In from 1 to 5 or 6 days after the fever begins, the glands begin to swell-at least as far as they are perceptible by palpation. Some cases show prodromal signs, but they are the minority.

　　　　　(b) Regarding the general symptoms in my experience there has been a marked facies in the disease. Congestion sometimes increased even to sugillation round the eyes and on the forehead and cheek bones ("Black Death"-Schwarze Tod)-apathy to surrounding events-a certain painful tension, caused by oppression, glowing hot injected eyes, soon sinking back into the sockets, the expression of extreme weakness, dry lips in the later stages of the disease covered with sordes, are the roughly described characteristics of the Plague face.

(c) The tongue is swollen, furred, sometimes dried up, brownish or black as the disease progresses, occasionally with cracks or fissures and resembles the worst tongue of the third week of typhus or typhoid fever. In light attacks or in those with a very rapid course this dry stage does not develop so quickly.

　　　　　(d) The other symptoms of the intestinal tract are want of appetite, great thirst, vomiting, constipation and in many cases later on diarrhoea with bloody evacuations. These symptoms may generally be explained by the fever, but in some cases they are apparently signs of alterations in the structure of the enteric mucous membrane. Indeed, in about 20% (30 in 150 cases), I found hamorrhages underneath the epithelium of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestine, in most cases as petechiae with circumscribed edges but occasionally diffuse. The lymphatic follicles and Peyer's patches were swollen in most cases, sometimes elevated and occasionally detached leaving ulcers without slough and with floating margins. Simple injection of the mucous membrane could be seen in nearly all the cases, but there were some in which the alterations were so general in the intestine that the whole disease seemed to be a primary infection of the intestinal tract, with subsequent infection of the blood, especially if there were no externally apparent localisations of the swollen glands. This occurred in 33 cases out of 150. Apparent or marked localisations are to be understood as painful swellings of the glands exceeding, say, the size of a bean.

(e) The respiration was dysp?nic if there was high temperature. In 20 cases out of 150 there was bronchitis, and hypostatic inflammation. Homoptysis occurred in 15 cases (10%). Injection of the bronchial tubes and simple edema occurred in nearly every case. The cases of bronchitis with bloody expectoration appeared to be more accidental localisa- tions of the Plague germ, as in most cases externally apparent buboes were observed. Pre-disposing catarrhs may have given a good soil for the growth of the bacillus. The bacillus never gave rise to destruction of the tissure here. Tuber- cular disease was only in one case evident. The mortality in bronchitis cases is the same as in non-bronchitis cases.

(f) Fever was present in every case but varied greatly in amount. There was no regular typical curve of the fever to be made out as is usual in almost all the other infectious diseases. It rises in some cases to 106° F. whilst in others it may only reach 102° F. The height of the temperature is no measure of the severity of the disease as patients with little fever of short duration generally die as well. The duration of the fever generally lasts from a few hours to some weeks. In about 30% of the recovered cases, the fever of the infection lasted for about five or six days, and this may be regarded

--

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. CXLIX

as typical. It is high at the beginning and sinks slowly down, with frequent morning remissions. It may last as long as ten days. After this primary fever a secondary fever occurs in a majority of recovering cases. This is the "fever of. absorption" and may lead to weeks of exhausting illness, and cases may die at this stage which were saved in the bottle of infection. This fever is very irregular in duration and height varying according to the extent of destruction and re-absorp- tion of the affected glands.

　　　　(g) The skin is in all cases dry and hot. In some cases cold perspiration occurs just before death. There was never anything like a critical or lytic sweat observed. Petechiae of the body were only seen in two cases. Herpes occurred in'

few cases also. Four so-called carbuncles were seen.

Wounds of the skin were rare and never irritated, no lymphan-

gitis being present.

　　　　(h) Nervous symptoms are caused by the fever and the overloading of the blood with infectious materials. There is generally tremor, deafness, unconsciousness, delirium, in some cases of a violent character.

(i) The heart's action was always weakened, and in many cases dilatation of the right side occurred. Systolic mur- murs and other signs of weakness being apparent.

　　　　(k) The urine always showed the presence of albumen-the average being from 1 to 5% of albumen. In the begin- ning retention of urine was frequent. The kidneys were congested, the capsules often showing hoemorrhages. Abscess of the kidney was never seen, neither was abscess of the liver. The gall-bladder was usually distended.

　　　　(1) The spleen was usually swollen and congested the malpighian corpuscles being prominent on the surface of section.

a

(m) Having considered the general symptoms of Plague we now have to deal with the most prominent characteristic of Plague, namely, the swollen glands. These may either be superficial and palpable, or intestinal and internal, or a combination of both. The affection of the glands might be called Polyadenitis, Hamorrhagica Infiltrative, a multiple inflammation of the glands with hemorrhagic infiltration of the glandular tissue, with a tendency to infiltrative periade- nitis, spreading from one gland to another centripetally and forming chains of infiltrated glands. Some of the glands break down. Infiltration may develop very quickly--even in a few hours-and may produce an extensive cellulitis in some cases. The time of development of palpable adenitis is irregular; it may be marked and evident in the first hours of the disease. Even large buboes may form in a few hours after a time when a person has felt absolutely in the best of health. On the other hand we frequently see a patient dying of plague without one being able to feel a single affected gland and only a thorough post mortem examination shows the slightly swollen glands, of lentil, pea or almond size, which show the plague bacillus by microscope and culture-tube. The plague gland in the Polyadenitis form is clinically in many cases indistinguishable from the gland of syphilis, scrofula and lymphadenitis of ordinary septic origin. In many cases the plague gland shows a boggy, gummatous fluctuation, very tender on pressure and complicated with a hamorrhagic suffusion of the skin over it. Out of 150 cases admitted alive into Hospital the following table shows the localisation of the glandular swelling at the onset of the disease. There were 80 males, 23 females, and 48 children.

38 cases (22%) were received without a proper bubo. In most of these cases multiple adenitis was found, the general, size of the glands being that of a lentil. In the later stages of the disease other buboes formed in different localities and complicated the case. 90% of the cases showed swelling of the intestinal, bronchial and mediastinal glands in different stages.

(n) The mortality of patients admitted alive into Hospital was 80 %. The general mortality must be much greater, as most of the bad cases die before being discovered or in course of transference to Hospital. 76% died during the first 6 days, 4 % died later on from the 7th to the 19th day. One may say that the former died from the severity of the disease itself, the latter from the after-effects, namely, exhaustion and suppuration. Death was generally caused by paralysis of the heart, in other cases from the brain mischief. The temperature at death is sometimes very high, sometimes subnormal. Convalescence is generally prolonged and often complicated by suppurative fever.

-

II. MICROSCOPICAL AND BACTERIOLOGICAL EXAMINATION.

　　　　Microscopical and bacteriological examination has been very much handicapped by the absence of a large amount of apparatus which is quite indispensable for full investigation in this branch of science, and most of the apparatus had to be supplied privately. The work can therefore be regarded as incomplete till more apparatus arrives from Europe. I can only give a few facts which already seem to be very promising for future work.

‧

CL

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

(a) The examination of the blood on reception of the patients into hospital was the first object for attention as the nost easily procurable material for the diagnosis of doubtful cases. By the microscope alone I detected the bacillus in the blood in 32 cases out of 45 examined, i.e., 71 %. Cultivation of the blood on gelatine and agar agar gave 29 positive results out of 35 cases, and 6 cultivations were negative. This gives 83 % with positive results by cultivation. Of the first 32 patients 26 died, whilst of the latter 29 cases 25 died. These numbers show that one is able to find the bacillus in the great majority of severe cases in the early stage by careful microscopic examination, whilst still 10% more can be recognised by cultivation experiments. In one case streptococci were found besides.

(b) Examination of discharge from newly opened buboes and abscesses showed in all cases examined the presence the plague bacillus. In about half the number of cases streptococci and staphylococci were found besides. The number of the bacilli generally correspond to the advancement of the swelling and destruction of the gland.

(c) The sputum of 12 plague patients suffering from bronchitis showed 11 positive results on cultivation, one cultivation was negative.

(d) In two cases of cultivation from the fur on the tongue the plague bacillus developed on gelatine.

　　　(e) The culture examination of f?ces gave positive results in all of the 15 cases examined where well marked enteric symptoms were present. In 8 of these cases no externally apparent bubo was present.

(?) After post mortem examination the various internal organs were frequently examined, and in all cases the tissue of the spleen and in most cases the liver, the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestine, and the lungs gave positive results by culture and subsequent animal experiments.

　　　All these examinations were made carefully and the positive results are beyond any doubt, and as they were made with imperfect apparatus the further experiments will prove more than this. I hope to be able to state whether or not the bacillus is present in the soil of the Colony at different places, in the dirt of infected houses, in the water and latrines, clothes of infected persons, &c.

　　　I will now report shortly about the inoculations performed on different animals. Two pigs, three monkeys, one cat, six rabbits, seventeen guinea-pigs and three mice were operated on. The inoculated substances were diseased tissue and pure cultures-two spleen inoculations, seven gland inoculations, two inoculations of the fur of the tongue, one blood culture, two pus cultures, eight focal cultures, four sputum cultures. Four guinea-pigs and two monkeys died from plague without being inoculated.

　　　Of eighteen animal inoculations in the abdomen seventeen gave positive results, that is to say, the animals died of plague. Implantation of diseased tissue and pure cultures into the stomach by feeding or introducing them into the ?sophagus by glass tube was made in nine cases with five positive results. These cases died showing clinical and anatomical symptoms of plague whilst under observation and on the post mortem table. The other ones-two rabbits, one cat and one guinea pig-were sick for a week, showed irregular fever but recovered. The one case of subcutaneous inoculation which did not die was that of a pig, which showed local infla?nmation round the site of inoculation but no glandular swelling, and is now twenty-two days after-still alive but apparently not quite well. The seventeen sub- cutaneously inoculated animals which died were 4 rabbits, 10 guinea-pigs, and 3 mice. The five inoculated by the intestinal tract and killed were 1 monkey and 4 guinea-pigs. The death of the six cases which died without inoculation is to be attributed to some of them being purposely kept in cages in which plague animals had been kept and which had not been cleaned and washed in carbolic acid solution as usual, whilst the monkeys were kept under the cages of the other animals so that food, urine and foeces were freely allowed to bespatter their cages. Death occurred in the rabbits and guinea-pigs in from 2 to 6 days after inoculation. One monkey died in five days, the pig in twenty-two days, the mice in from twenty-four to forty-eight hours.

A

??

　　　Remarkable points are that in all the cases of subcutaneous inoculation the tissue round the spot of abdominal incision was infiltrated and from there to the glands of the axilla and groin lymphangitic chords could be seen, and the glands of these two cases could be seen swollen as in human plague cases. The glands in the mesentery were swollen in nearly all cases. The cases dying after feeding with plague tissues or pure cultures showed diarrhoea in one pig and one monkey, the stomach and intestine showed sugillation, catarrh and swelling of the mesenteric glands as well as of the external glands.

These observations justify the opinion that the plague can enter the body-

(1) By the skin.

(2) By the intestinal tract.

There were no cases in this epidemic which I saw where signs of local inflammation round wounds were evident and there are only two cases reported in Hongkong by Dr. LowSON and Dr. AOYAMA, in which plague with lymphangitis from cutaneous wounds the case of AOYAMA himself and NAKAHARA; but even here the opinions and reports differ. But as in- oculation has undeniable success the possibility certainly exists. Infection by the stomach is possible, as 56 %% of the cases operated on by feeding experiments succeeded. This percentage means much more than the wounding experiments, as it approximates closely to the natural conditions of life, in fact gives a method of infection without artificial means. may thus argue that in many cases where the plague bacillies reaches the intestinal tract the disease may attack the body. This possibility is proved by the above experiments. Whether the healthy stomach is able to digest these germs when introduced can only be answered after more animal experiments have been carried out.

GENTLEMEN-I have the honour to submit this the seventh annual report concerning the work done by the Sanitary Department during the year 1895.

DRAINAGE Works.

In addition to the work carried out by owners of property of their own initiative a great number of houses, which were found on inspection to be in an insanitary condition, have been re-drained at the request of the Board. I append a tabular statement (A) showing-

1. The locality in which the houses so found to be insanitary are situated.

2. The number of houses so found in each such locality.

3. The houses so found for which plans for re-draining them have been submitted.

4. The houses so found at which the work of re-draining has been completed.

It will be observed that according to this table a very large number of houses (2,029) have been carefully inspected and found to be defectively drained and consequently the owners have been called on to redrain them. In addition to these, 1,673 houses were found to be either in good order, so far as their drainage arrangements were concerned, or which only required to have down-pipes, traps, etc., etc. repaired to put them in good order.

The complaints concerning the choking of the new pipe-drains have been far less frequent than in past years.

　　　　　　　　　I feel sure that a great many Chinese householders have arrived at the conclusion that after all these water-tight glazed pipe-drains are superior to the old porous drains, and hence the malicious choking of these drains has practically ceased. It would be a good thing if they impressed on their servants that the breaking of the gratings over the inlets to the down-pipes and drains is the cause of a very considerable amount of damage to property and for which, to my mind, the tenants are responsible. Not infrequently the trap below the fresh air inlet to the drains gets choked. In most cases this trap can be readily cleared, but very often an ignorant house-coolie is told to clear it and he, not knowing how to go to work, frequently smashes the trap in his wild endeavour to ram the choking material further into the drain.

MARKETS AND SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.

　　The much needed depots for housing sheep and swine imported into the Colony for slaughter were opened early in the year when the old and exceedingly insanitary sheds which were situated in the midst of human habitations were abolished. The quiet and successful manner in which this change was effected is a matter for congratulation. The brutal Chinese method of weighing live swine continued during the year, but weighing machines having arrived this year (1896) it will soon be possible to put a complete stop to this cruel practice.

The fine new slaughter-house at Kennedy Town was opened on the 1st January, and it adequately meets the requirements of Victoria.

The Central Market was opened on the 1st of May. It is a very fine building and worthy of the Colony, as the central depot for the distribution of most of the perishable articles of food.

　　The market shop-keepers objected strongly to the bye-law which prohibits them from using their shops as dwellings for their assistants. When they found that objecting and petitioning was of no avail, the next step--a favourite one with Chinese-was to clamorously assert that their wares were being stolen. The appointment of two night watchmen and a firm enquiry into each case of alleged theft very soon put a stop to the clamour. When I find a person asserting all manner of roguery against others, I know that such person needs careful watching, and in the great majority of such cases he is sooner or later discovered to be a rogue himself; he has simply fallen into the vulgar error of estimating other people by the measure which he knows so well admirably fits himself.

34 sheds capable of housing 963 head of cattle, 5 sheds capable of housing 144 head of goats and 815 pens capable of housing 6,033 head of swine were duly licensed during the year. The housing of these animals in the Colony is now, in the main, in a satisfactory condition. There are now very few places where these animals are housed under the same roof as the owner or the owners' servants, and such as may exist are in the smaller hamlets.

MORTALITY STATISTICS.

under

　　　　These are very fully dealt with in the Medical Officer of Health's report for the year review. I think it desirable, however, to append to this report the usual tabular statements and diagrams so that the continuity of these may not be broken.

Tabular statements (B) show:---

(a) The death-rate in 1895 for→→

1. The British and Foreign community.

2. The Chinese community on land in each registration district.

3. The Chinese community afloat in each registration district.

4. The Chinese community on land in the Colony.

5. The Chinese community afloat in the Colony.

6. The total Chinese community in the Colony.

7. The British, Foreign and Chinese community combined, Army and Navy

excluded.

(b) The number of deaths occurring under each of the seven groups into which it has been deemed expedient-in view of the system of death registration in vogue-to classify the summary of the causes of death.

(c) The total number of deaths occurring amongst the British and Foreign community in cach month of each year 1891 to 1895, both inclusive, under six disease groups. These groups are the same as in (b) only 6 and 7 groups are amalgamated.

(d) The same as (c) but for the Chinese community.

(e) The total number of deaths occurring in the Colony--those in the Army and Navy excluded-in each month for the past seven years, together with the death-rate for the estimated population.

The diagrams show:-

(a) The number of deaths which occurred each month under each of the groups referred to

above.

(b) The mean temperature for each month.

(c) The rainfall for each month.

(d) The number of deaths registered during each month of the years 1891 to 1895 as also

the mean temperature and the rainfall.

(e) The number of deaths from all causes for the years 1888 to 1895 both inclusive.

CEMETERIES.

The bye-laws which came into force on the 1st January, 1892, have been steadily enforced, but unfortunately it has not yet been found practicable to lay out the cemeteries in the manner in which it is so desirable it should be done. An extension to the Mount Caroline cemetery is needed.

　　　　The following interments have been made during the year in each of the public cemeteries for Chinese, viz. :----'

Mount Davis,..

Mount Caroline,. Kau-lung, Shau-ki-wan, Aderdeen, Stanley, Shek-0,

....

Total,.............

.1,932 interments.

　　　　The fees collected during the year amounted to $1,475.60, and the cost of the staff laying out roads, etc. to $2,324.90.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES.

　　　　The bye-laws for the compulsory reporting of infectious diseases made in 1888 were revoked in November, and a new set of bye-laws made in their stead. These new bye-laws, so far as registered medical practitioners are concerned, are very much on the same lines as the law in England which deals with this subject.

LAUNDRIES.

Only four of the public laundries have been let during the year. I anticipate that during the current year they will be all let, mainly owing to the gradual but firm enforcement of the bye-laws regulating public laundries. I made a careful personal inspection of the whole of the laundries in the City in the latter part of the year and found that about two-thirds of them were in such a state that they could be registered. The remaining third will be dealt with as early as practicable.

:

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. CLIII

BAKERIES.

　　　The bye-laws regulating this branch of food supply manufacture continue to be steadily and persistently enforced. Only 6 prosecutions for breaches of these bye-laws occurred during the year. A conviction was obtained in each case.

COMMON LODGING-HOUSES.

The bye-laws for regulating these houses, which were made in March 1891, came into force on the 1st January, 1895. The enforcement of these bye-laws met with great opposition. Practically every coolie-master in the Colony houses his workmen, and these workmen are nearly all indebted to him for, to them, considerable sums of money. These coolie-masters have therefore a very strong compelling power over their workmen and, as a rule, they exercise this power mercilessly. It was these coolie-masters who were the principal cause of the opposition although I have very good reason for believing that they were supported by a considerable number of their countrymen, who are occupying very good positions in the Colony.

　　　During the year 457 houses capable of accommodating 7,423 men were licensed, and the bye- laws are being steadily enforced. Twenty-nine prosecutions were instituted for various breaches of the bye-laws, and in each case a conviction was obtained.,

CONTRACTS.

City Conservancy.-The work of this contract was well carried out during the year.

City Scavenging.-The work of this contract was, on the whole, well carried out during the year. As in recent years, the final disposal of the refuse has been a source of considerable trouble. The place of disposal is on Chinese territory.

　　　Kau-lung Conservancy and Scavenging. The work of this contract was fairly well carried out during the year.

A few minor hitches occurred, but no one suffered any great inconvenience.

The work of these contracts was well carried out during the year. No complaints regarding them were received at this Office.

Shau-ki-wan Conservancy and Scavenging. Aberdeen Conservancy and Scavenging. Stanley Conservancy and Scavenging.

　　　The approximate quantity of house refuse, trade refuse, street sweepings, etc., removed by the scavenging contractors from Victoria, Hill and Kau-lung districts was 32,000 tons.

STAFF.

　　　An important change was made in the disposition of the staff in November, by placing the Inspectors of Nuisances directly under the orders of the recently appointed Medical Officer of Health. This change has been a great relief to me, inasmuch as it enables me to practically devote the whole of my time to the secretarial work of the Board. It is, however, somewhat anomalous that a large section of the Board's staff should be working directly under the orders of a gentleman who is himself a member of the staff of another department. However, the anomaly has not, so far, materially interfered with the successful working of the new arrangement.

In April Mr. W. E. CROW, Government Analyst, was lent to this department for particular service. His report to the Board, dated the 23rd December and laid before the Board at a meeting held on the 16th January, 1896, states very fully the duties he performed.

　　　The Colonial Veterinary Surgeon went on leave of absence in June, and Mr. WM. FISHER has been performing his duties.

　　　The 6 additional Inspectors added to the staff at the end of 1894 took up their duties on the 1st of January, 1895. It is satisfactory to be able to record that they have all proved themselves to be active, energetic, and painstaking officials.

There is nothing calling for remark with regard to the other members of the staff.

　　　I very much regret that this feport is submitted to you considerably later than is usual, but owing to various reasons it has been impossible for me to get it ready sooner.

I have the honour to be,

Gentlemen,

Your obedient Servant,

HUGH MCCALLUM,

Secretary and Sanitary Superintendent.

SANITARY BOARD OFFICES,

HONGKONG, 30th April, 1896.

SIR,--I have the honour to submit, for the information of the Board, the following Report upon the health of the Colony of Hongkong during the year 1895.

POPULATION.

The population of the Colony at the census of 1881 was 160,402, while at the 1891 census it had risen to 221,441, representing an annual increase if 3.277 per cent.; for the purposes of this Report, the civil population has been estimated to the middle of 1895 to be 244,930, the total population being 248,498.

　　The non-Chinese community comprises only 10,828, of whom 1,759 belong to the Army and 1,809 to the Navy, leaving a non-Chinese civil population of 7,260. This civil population consists of persons of all nationalities, and the European element represents but a small proportion, being estimated at 2,680; of these, some 1,800 are British and the remainder consist of Germans, French, Swiss, etc.; the Portuguese, who numbered at the last census, 2,089, and may be estimated, to the middle of 1895, at 2,230, are for well known reasons, not included among the Europeans.

　　The remainder of the civil population is composed of Indians, Japanese, Negroes, and natives of Malay and Manila, the Indians being numerically the most important element.

　　The Chinese number 237,670 and they may be divided into two classes, the land and the boat population, the latter numbering 33,180 and the former 204,490. The Chinese land population is distributed as follows:--

City of Victoria, Kaulung,...... Villages,

204,490

---1-

CLXXXVI SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

The number of occupied houses in the City of Victoria, at the middle of the year, was 6,837; and of these about 479 were exclusively European, so that the average number of Chinese occupying each of the remaining 6,358 houses was 26.3, and as some of these houses sre occupied by the better class Chinese, it can readily be seen that the poorer portion of the city are greatly overcrowded.

The acreage of that portion of the city already occupied by buildings, including shops, godowns, etc., is 574 acres, distributed as follows:--

70

The population of the city, both European and Asiatic, may be estimated at 176,000 consisting of Chinese 167,500 and non-Chinese 8,500, (the remainder of the civil population residing at the Peak, at Kaulung and in the villages) which gives an average density of population of 300 persons per acre, which is six times the average density of population of London, and is another evidence of that terrible overcrowding, which is largely responsible for the high death-rate and for such uncontrollable outbreaks of disease, as that which swept over the Colony during 1894.

The Chinese boat population has been stated to number 33,180, and it must be remembered that these people live entirely on board their small craft, and have little or no intercourse with the land population. The number of registered boats belonging to the port is as follows :

Fishing and Trading Junks,.. Other boats (sampans, etc.).

Total,.....

5,630 3,804

9,434

Of this total about one-fifth would be absent from the waters of the Colony at the time of the taking of the census, and as the estimate of the present boat population is based upon those returns, it may be considered that an average of from four to five persons live upon each of these boats.

The Chinese population is peculiar in the great excess of males over females, the proportion being approximately one-fourth females and three-fourths males, while moreover these latter may, in a sense, be regarded as picked lives, for the great majority of them are young adults, who reside in the Colony solely with the object of earning and accumulating money, and with the full intention of returning to their homes, on the mainland, within a few years.

BIRTHS.

The number of births registered during the year was as follows:-

Chinese community............ Non-Chinese community.... 119

Males. 682

Females.

Total.

513

1,195

113

232

1,427

This is equal to a birth-rate of 58 per 1,000. The number of births among Europeans was 95; of which 79 were British, 13 German and 3 French. The births among the Portuguese numbered 63 and among the Indians 66, while there were also 3 births of Japanese and 5 of natives of Malay; the birth-rate among the non-Chinese community was therefore 21'4 per 1,000, while that among the Portuguese community alone was 28.25 per 1,000 and among the British (exclusive of 19 births which occurred in the military quarters) was 224 per 1,000. This is one of the most satisfactory features in connection with our vital statistics, indicating as it does the remarkable extent to which family life prevails in this far-distant Colony.

The number of Chinese births registered conveys a most erroneous impression of the actual birth-rate among the Chinese, for no less than 805 births must be added, none of which were registered by the parents. This figure has been computed by the Assistant Registrar General from the figures relating to the deaths of unknown infants in the various Convents, and the bodies of newly-born children found in the Harbour, or in the streets, and includes all such children as appeared to be less than one month old. With this addition, the number of Chinese births will stand at 2,000 exactly, and the birth-rate at 8·4 per 1,000, which is an exceptionally low rate, even taking into consideration the great preponderance of men over women in the population. There is, however, another circumstance that bears largely upon this question of the birth-rate among Chinese, namely, the fact that no less than 9 per cent. of the Chinese adult female population of the City of Victoria are prostitutes, residing in public brothels, while probably as many more are to be found in the private dwellings, especially of the poorest classes.

The addition of the above 805 unregistered births raises the total birth-rate for the Colony to 9.3 per 1,000.

"

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. CLXXXVII

DEATHS.

　　　With such a population as we have in this Colony, one would reasonably expect to find an abnormally low death-rate, but unhappily such is the condition of filth, of overcrowding and of squalor generally in which these people have been allowed to live, that instead of this low death-rate, our rate has, during the past year. amounted to 21.65 per 1,000. The average death-rate during the past five years (excluding, for obvious reasons, 1894) has been 22.9 per 1,000, so that this past year shows a slight diminution upon the previous average.

　　　The total number of deaths recorded was 5,400; of these only 191 were non-Chinese, representing a death-rate of 17.6 per 1,000.

　　　One of the most deplorable features of this high death-rate among the Chinese is its partial dependence upon the crass ignorance of the Chinese in regard to the remedial treatment of disease, for not only are they unaware of the use of such a drug say, as Quinine in Malarial Fever, or of the simplest surgical operation for the relief of disease and pain, but such remedies as they do adopt are often, as I will show elsewhere, in reference to the alarming prevalence of tetanus neonatorum among Chinese infants, of a most prejudicial and even dangerous character. So strongly has this aspect of our death-rate impressed me. that I would urge the Board to represent to His Excellency the Governor the desirability of taking, at an early date, some active steps in the matter of the education of the Chinese in Western medicine, such as the endowment of a College of Medicine for the education of the Chinese inhabitants of this Colony. At the present moment no restrictions whatever are placed upon the sale and administration of poisons by native quacks, and it is a notorious fact that many an ignorant coolie practises the divine art of healing, in this Colony, to the great benefit of his own purse, but to the serious danger to the health and even the lives of his credulous victims.

　　　I am aware that it is no easy matter to induce the Chinaman to accept the teachings and practices of Western medicine, but there can be no question that something must be done, and that promptly, to check the waste of human life which unquestionably results from the ignorant practices of these so-called "doctors." The prohibition of the sale or administration of poisons by other than registered persons, the registration of Chinese midwives, and the absolute prohibition of such Chinese methods of treatment as are admittedly dangerous to the lives of the patients (such, for instance, as the cauterization of the bodies of newly-born infants) are matters which demand the urgent attention of the Government.

Another of the consequences of this ignorance of the Chinese respecting medical matters is that although the statistics of the Registrar General respecting the total deaths may be accurate, yet any analysis of the causes of these deaths teems with inaccuracies, because causes of death are registered merely upon the statements made by the person registering the death, and these statements are, as I have already good reasons to know, often deliberate fabrications containing not an element of truth. Apart altogether from the question of the accuracy of our vital statistics, such a system as this must of necessity tend to encourage crime, by facilitating the disposal of the dead body of any victim to foul play, and I would therefore suggest to the Government the advisability of associating a medical man with the department of the Registrar General preferably the officer appointed to act as Govern- may be ment pathologist, or failing him, the Medical Officer of Health, so that all uncertified deaths properly enquired into and a more accurate diagnosis arrived at than is at present possible. It will be observed that in no less than 10 per cent. of the deaths no attempt whatever is made to arrive at even a proximate diagnosis, the deaths being merely recorded as "Ill-defined and undiagnosed." Surely, there is a vast opening here for the utilization of well-trained students of the College of Medicine if only the Government can see its way to endow that most

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　see its way to endow that most deserving but struggling institution, and offer employment to its alumni.

AGE DISTRIBUTION OF DEATHS.

　　　The most important feature in regard to the age distribution of the registered deaths is the enormous mortality among Chinese infants under one year of age, for in spite of the fact that the total birth- rate is only 9.3 per 1,000, yet no less than 28 per cent. of the total deaths occurred in infauts, and nearly two-thirds of these were at ages under one month. The number of infant deaths registered during the year. was 1,519 representing a total infant death-rate* of 680 per 1,000, while the infant death-rate among the European civil community was only 116 per 1,000, and among the Portuguese community it was 197 per 1,000. I have made some enquiries into the causes of this high infant death-rate among the Chinese, and find that it is largely due to diseases of a convulsive type, many of which are doubtless produced by the foul atmosphere which these infants breathe in the ill-ventilated dwellings of the poor, but I am of opinion that not a few are the direct result of the forms of treatment to which these infants are subjected by the native midwives and quack doctors. It appears to be a Chinese medical custom to cauterize the face or body of an infant, as a remedial measure in the treatment of flatulence or other trivial ailment, and I am sure that the sores and scars thus produced are one of the most fruitful causes of these convulsive deaths. The disregard of the value of female lives by the Chinese has also to be reckoned with, for it is a significant fact that the death-rate among infant girls is double that among infant boys, and under these circumstances I consider that the

* By "infant death-rate" is meant the number of infant deaths per 1,000 births, registered during the year,

CLXXXVIII SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

Government should, without delay, introduce a Bill for the registration and licensing of all Chinese midwives practising in this Colony, so that some control may be exercised over them, in this respect, and also in respect to the number of deaths from Puerperal Fever, further reference to which will be found on page 9.

The following is a Table of the age periods at which the several deaths occurred :--

The number of deaths which occurred among the non-Chinese community during the year was 191; of these, 30 are debited to the Army and 8 to the Navy, leaving 153 deaths to be accounted for among the British and Foreign civil community, which is equal to a death-rate of 21:07 per 1,000; if the naval and military establishments are included, the death-rate stands at 17-6 per 1,000.

Of the 30 deaths in the Army, 22 were British, the remainder being Indians; the average age at death of the British soldier was 25.5 years, and the causes of death were as follows:-

　　　　The most remarkable feature in connection with the causes of death of the non-Chinese community is the great number of violent deaths which are recorded, no less than 15 out of the 191, or nearly eight per cent., being due to such causes. The following is a tabular statement of these deaths :-

　　　The deaths among the non-Chinese community comprise persons of the most varied nationalities, for of the 191 deaths, only 92 were Europeans, and 22 of these were non-residents belonging to the mercantile marine and foreign navies, while 30 others have already been accounted for as belonging to the two British services, so that 40 only were European residents, and taking 2,680 as the estimated resident European population, this equals a death-rate of 149 per 1,000; the remaining 99 deaths were distributed, racially, as follows:--

　　Intestinal diseases are apparently the most to be feared here, as in all tropical climates, and great care is needed to avoid unripe fruit or unwholesome food and contaminated drinking water, which are probably the two most potent factors in the production of these diseases.

The risks of pregnancy are also very great, owing apparently to a marked susceptibility to septic infection, and I would strongly advise residence in a detached house at the Peak, as the safest course to adopt during such a critical period as the puerperium.

CXC SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

one

Malarial Fever is only responsible for two European deaths, one of them being an infant under year of age. The dangers of chill are exemplified by the six deaths from diseases of the liver and kidneys, while a too liberal dietary may also have had something to do with the causation of these deaths. Diseases of the chest are more common than might have been expected, although rapid changes of temperature are not uncommon, and at certain seasons of the year, ordinary catarrhal affections appear to be as prevalent here as at home.

Deaths among the Chinese population :

1. Chest diseases.

　　　　The Chinese suffer considerably from diseases of the chest, no less than 1,136 deaths being recorded under this heading; this represents a death-rate of 4.8 per 1,000. The disease is more fatal among the boat population than among the land population, the rate among the former alone being 5.9 per 1,000. The causes of this high mortality from chest diseases, and notably from Consumption, which accounts for more than one half of these deaths, and which alone represents more than 11 per cent. of the total death-rate among Chinese, are undoubtedly the same as have been found to operate elsewhere, namely, overcrowding, back-to-back houses, and that want of efficient ventilation which is so marked a feature of the present class of Chinese dwellings, while an additional predisposing cause is to be found in the damp and dark basement dwellings, many of which abut against the hillside for the entire depth of one or more of their retaining walls. The operations of Ordinance 15 of 1894 will undoubtedly produce a marked reduction in the deaths from this cause, by reducing the number of these insanitary dwellings, but it will, I fear, be some years before the full benefits derivable from the provisions of this Ordinance are realized, for in many cases the fault lies, not so much in the construction of the dwelling but rather in its misuse by ignorant and uncleanly tenants.

2. Deaths from Nervous diseases.

??

Diseases of the nervous system bulk largely in the death returns for the Chinese population, owing to the enormous infant mortality from convulsions; the deaths from these causes total 1,192, and no less than 6:25 per cent. of them occurred in infants under one month old, while the number of deaths from Convulsions, Tetanus and Trismus was 1,107 or 92.8 per cent. of the total death-rate from diseases of the nervous system.

　　　　Twenty-four deaths, mostly adults, were due to Meningitis, probably the result of insolation in most cases, while various forms of Paralysis account for other 56 deaths; three deaths were due to Epilepsy and two to Mania.

3. Deaths from Malarial Diseases.

The Chinese suffer severely from Malaria, no less than 757 deaths being recorded from this cause alone; this represents a death-rate of 3.2 per 1,000. It is noteworthy to observe that the death-rate from this disease among the boat population is almost double as great as among the land population. The ignorance of the Chinese respecting the value of such drugs as Quinine in the treatment of malarial diseases no doubt.largely accounts for this high death-rate, for the rate among resident Europeans, who should be at a great disadvantage in comparison with the native population is only 0.75 per 1,000.

Beri-beri, which is classed with the malarial diseases, claims 0.6 per 1,000 of the Chinese popula- tion, but the disease is apparently not recognized in the villages, as only one death is recorded as having occurred outside the city, while 139 occurred within it; four deaths from this disease are debited to the non-Chinese community, none of which were, however, Europeans, three being Japanese sailors and the fourth a lascar.

4. Deaths from Dysentery.

　　　　There were 99 deaths from this disease among Chinese during the year, seven among Europeans (already referred to) and three among the foreign community, one being an Indian soldier, one an Indian Police Constable and one a Japanese.

The high mortality among the Chinese is doubtless due more to that ignorance of effective reme- dial measures, of which I have already spoken, than to any extensive endemicity of the disease.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES.

At the latter end of the year the Sanitary Board largely extended the scope of its bye-laws relating to the notification of infectious diseases and brought them more into line with the provisions of the Imperial Infectious Diseases Notification Act of 1889. Prior to November the special bye-laws upon the subject related only to Small-pox and Bubonic Plague, and the onus of notifying the disease fell upon the medical attendant, without fee, while in the absence of a me lical practitioner " of any nation- ality" which included therefore the Chinese so-called "doctors" this duty was imposed upon the nearest male adult relative or the occupier or keeper of the premises. The present bye-laws apply to Small-pox, Bubonic Plague, Cholera, Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever, Typhus Fever, Enteric Fever, Relapsing Fever,

-6--

　and Puerperal Fever, and a fee of one dollar is payable to legally qualified and registered medical practitioners for every such certificate, while in the absence of a medical attendant, the occupier or keeper of the premises, or in default the nearest male adult relative, or the attendant upon the sick person is required to notify the existence of any of the following diseases, namely, Small-pox, Cholera, and Bubonic Plague. A penalty of $50 is recoverable for any contravention of these bye-laws, but in practice, it is found, as at home, that where a medical practitioner is not in attendance, the case is rarely notified, and as it is almost impossible to prove, in a court of law, that any of the above named persons actually knew that the disease was either small-pox, cholera or bubonic plague, a prosecu- tion is seldom undertaken.

　　　It will be noticed that, actuated by experience of the working of the Imperial Act, I recom- anended the omission of Erysipelas from the list of the notifiable diseases.

DEATHS FROM THE INFECTIOUS DISEASES.

1. Bubonic Fever.

　　　The statement made by Dr. Lowson, in his able report upon the epidemic of Bubonic Fever (so-called Plague) in 1894, that the public latrines were one of the most potent factors in the spread of the disease, is of serious moment to the health of the Colony, for if this assertion can be substantiated by facts the Sanitary Board must, without delay, devise some other means of conser- vancy than that in vogue at present. None of the Chinese houses in the Colony are provided with any latrine or closet accommodation, and it is the custom for the men to visit a public latrine, for this purpose, while the women almost invariably use pots which are kept in the backyards or kitchens of their houses; both the pots and the latrines are emptied daily by night-soil coolies, and the night-soil is removed from the Colony at once by boats. For a city such as Victoria, with a tropical climate, and a limited water supply, this appears to me a perfect system, but if the use of public latrines by the men can be proved to be the main cause of spreading such a disease as Bubonic Fever throughout the Colony, then the sooner they are abolished the better. I contend, however, that there is no evidence to justify such an assertion, and in support of this contention I would point, in the first place, to the relative incidence of the disease during 1894 upon the two sexes; the Registrar General's report for that year shows that, out of 2,508 deaths, 1,565 were men and 943 were women, that is to say, the proportion of cases in the two sexes was as 17 to 1, and as I have already pointed out that the population of the Colony is composed of thrice as many men as women, it would appear that the women suffered from this disease to about double the extent that the men did, and as it is the men alone who use the public latrines, I fail to see how these can be held in any way responsible for the spread of the disease. It is true that the disease was more prevalent in the neighbourhood of these public latrines than elsewhere, but it is also true that the latrines are, for reasons of convenience, invariably located in the most densely populated quarters of the city, and as the predisposing causes of Bubonic Fever are undoubtedly, as in Typhus, overcrowding, want of ventilation, filth, debility and privation, we have here far more potent factors in the causation of an epidemic, than the mere location of the public latrines. I do not wish to assert that Bubonic Fever cannot be communicated by the excreta, although our information as to the existence or non-existence of the specific bacilli in the intestinal canal is not as positive as one could wish, but I am most strongly of opinion that the infec- tion is disseminated chiefly by the emanations from the breath and skin, and only to a minor extent by the excreta.

Much has been written about the preponderance of femoral buboes, and Dr. Lowson, in his report, explains this by asserting that in the Chinese, who usually go barefooted, infection by inocu- lation was the usual condition, but he fails to explain why the men of the Shropshire regiment also had femoral and inguinal buboes. To my mind the explanation of their occurrence, in either case, is a very simple one; the disease is essentially one of the lymphatic system, and post-mortem examina- tions have abundantly shown that all the lymphatic glands of the body are more or less implicated, and all exhibit a greater or less tendency to enlargement; therefore any special source of irritation will be sure to produce marked enlargement of certain glands, and such irritation would naturally occur in men, whether barefooted or booted, by much walking, especially if carrying heavy weights at the same time, and by climbing up and down narrow flights of stairs, as was done by the soldiers; women on the other hand exhibit mostly enlargements of the axillary glands consequent upon their ordinary household avocations, while the femoral and inguinal glands are not usually very enlarged, for the ordinary Chinese woman, except of the lowest class, does very little walking. It is an admitted fact that patients suffering from Bubonic Fever are able to walk about, and even in some cases to follow their usual employment, for the first day or two of their illness, and then succumb rapidly from heart failure, so that there is ample time for the development of the irritative enlargement of any special chain of glands.

　　　Yet another argument against this theory of infection by inoculation is that wound reaction is not present, in ordinary cases of the disease, but that when we get a genuine case of accidental inocu- lation as from a post-mortem wound, it is most marked, both at the seat of the wound and along the track of the lymphatic vessels. This is well shown in the case of Professor AOYAMA as described on

-7-

CXCH

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

page 38 of Dr. Lowson's Report, for he had two inoculation wounds, one on the left third finger and the other on the right thumb; both of these wounds became so inflamed and intensely painful that they had to be freely incised, while severe lymphangitis occurre 1 in both arms, and buboes formed in each axilla; it is worthy of note that the first bubo formed in the left axilla while the lymphangitis appeared first in the right arm. Case X., Chinese, also illustrates this point, and in my opinion serves to accentuate the rarity of infection by inoculation under ordinary circumstances.

　　　As I have said, the infective material will breed in premises which are filthy, ill-ventilated. overcrowded and dark, and the disease is contracted by prolonged breathing of such atmosphere as is found under these conditions, and the attention of the Board should therefore be directed not to the substitution of other methods of conservancy for that at present in vogue, but to the speedy improve- ment of the general sanitary condition of the Colony, the prohibition of back-to-back houses, the opening out of narrow lanes and passages, at present occluded by filthy hoardings, awnings and other coverings, the provision of an abundant supply of pure water, and the prevention of that over- crowding which has unhappily been permitted to continue unchecked for so many years past.

It is a significant fact that only about 26 per cent. of the cases occur on the ground floors of houses, although nearly half the tenement houses of the Colony are still but two-story buildings, and the proportion of occupied ground floor rooms to upper floor rooms is as 65 to 100. This is, I think, another argument in favour of the theory that overcrowding and want of ventilation are the more potent factors in the spread of the disease, for the ground floor rooms of most Chinese houses are open throughout their entire frontage, during the day-time, being closed at night by wide doors, while the upper floor rooms have no such efficient means of ventilation.

The course to be pursued appears undoubtedly to take steps at an early date, in the direction indicated by the provisions of the Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance, No. 23 of 1889, which is much on the lines of the Imperial Housing of the Working Classes Act of 1890, and to resume certain insanitary areas, demolish the premises upon them, and then having laid out the land, either re-sell the building lots, or build model dwellings thereon; there are a number of insanitary areas in the city which urgently need resumption, and when the clearing and laying out of Taipingshan has been completed others could be taken in hand without producing further congestion of the remaining portions of the city.

The number of cases of Bubonic Fever reported during the year was 45, of whom 14 were women and 31 were men; 14 of these were taken to Hospital after death. Thirty-six deaths were registered during the year; the first case occurred on April 29th, and the disease continued to recur sporadically during the remainder of the year. No less than twelve of the cases originated in No. 7 Health District where the houses are in a very dirty and insanitary condition, and many of the inhabitants of which are said to have come from the resumed area of Taipingshan. Four cases were clearly imported from the mainland, while eight came from two houses in a small lane in No. 6 Health District (Heung Lane), but the origin of these cases was unexplained.

The distribution of the cases was as follows:-

April May June

July

August September November December

....

　　　　The steps adopted upon the report of each case have been to at once remove the patient to the Kennedy Town Hospital, to place a Police guard upon the premises to prevent persons leaving, to disinfect all clothing, bedding and other fomites found upon the premises (including the clothing actually worn by these persons, suits of Government clothing being lent to them, in the meantime), and then to give these persons the option of leaving the Colony for a period of not less than ten days, or of remaining isolated upon a quarantine boat, for a like period, at the Government expense. The great majority elected to leave the Colony, and they were accordingly escorted to the boats by a Police Officer, and their return fares to Canton paid by the Captain Superintendent of Police. In all cases the premises recently occupied by the patient have been stripped, disinfected, scrubbed and linewashed.

2 CHOLERA.

　　　　Four deaths from cholera are recorded for the year 1895, two being in Europeans belonging to the Army (cet. 22 and 30 respectively), one an Asiatic at Kowloon (ct. 21) and one a Portuguese (cet. 19); it will be noted that the victims were all young adults. In no case did the disease spread, and I think we may take it that the cause of death was not, in any of these cases, genuine Asiatic cholera, but rather some form of non-infectious cholera nostras, such as is met with in Egypt and elsewhere, or an acute choleraic diarrhoea induced by indiscretions of diet or exposure to chill.

3 SMALL-POx.

　　In a Colony having such close proximity to the mainland of China, we must expect to have small-pox constantly introduced, and yet the chances of its spreading are small, for most of the Chinese inhabitants are already protected by a previous attack, while the Vaccine Institute un ler the super- intendence of the Colonial Surgeon supplies an abundance of pure lymph which undoubtedly accounts for the remarkable immunity of the Police and other officials from this disease.

　　Thirty-two cases of the disease were reported during the year, and eight deaths were registered. Five of the cases occurred amongst Europeans, two being taken from steamers in the Harbour, and one from the Sailors' Home, while one was a woman removed from the McGregor Barracks. There was a small outbreak of the disease among the children at the Berlin Foundling Mission during the month of May, when five cases were recorded, and another small outbreak at the village of Hunghom at the latter end of the year, which accounts for other six cases, while one case is debited to each of the villages of Yaumati, Tsat Tsz Mui and Quarry Bay. Twenty of the cases were men, and twelve women, and they were treated in the following institutions :-

Government Civil Hospital. Kennedy Town Hospital.... Tung Wa Hospital

At home

4 ENTERIC FEVER.

　　Fifteen deaths were registered during the year as having occurred from this cause, four of them being among the non-Chinese civil population and one a British soldier; the former comprised one British sailor, one German sailor, one Japanese sailor, (all imported cases) and one Japanese prosti- tute. Of the ten deaths which occurred among the Chinese community, no less than five were clearly proved to have returned from the mainland in an infected condition, and of the remaining five, one was brought from Tsat Tsz Mui, and one from Hunghom (an employe at the Docks) while two occurred in No. 7 Health District of the city, and no information was obtainable concerning the remaining one.

　　Provided that the water supply and the milk supplies of the Colony are zealously guarded from pollution, we need have no fear of any extensive outbreak of this disease since the system of con- servancy in vogue, provided it be efficiently carried out, lends no aid to the local dissemination of such a virus as that of Enteric Fever, but if we would maintain this exemption, the Board must zealously guard its powers of preventing the introduction of water-closets and of the water-carriage system of the disposal of excreta, for there can be no question that sewers, containing such matters, may play a most important part in the dissemination both of Typhoid Fever and of Diphtheria.

5. PUERPERAL FEVER.

　　Twelve deaths were registered from Puerperal Fever among the Chinese, and no less than ten of them occurred at Kaulung, eight being among a boat population of about 6,000. In speaking of the enormous infant mortality among the Chinese, I have advocated the registration of all Chinese mid- wives, and this is another strong argument in favour of the necessity for some control being exercised over these women, who are at present able to carry about in their persons and their clothing so fatal a malady as 'Puerperal Fever, and thus produce a death-rate equal to 13 per 1,000 in a flourishing suburb of the city.

　　A series of admirable Bye-laws, relating to the regulating of common lodging-honses, were drafted by the Board in 1891 and approved by the Legislative Council, but owing to various circum- stances, these bye-laws did not come into force until January 1st, 1895. They are now in working order, and have already done much to lessen the overcrowding of the coolie-houses, and to ensure their cleanliness and ventilation. In fact, at the present moment, some of the healthiest Chinese dwellings in the city are the more recently licensed common lodging-houses

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. CCIII

Sanitary Surveyor's Report for 1895.

SIR,I have the honour to forward herewith

SANITARY BOARD ROOM, HONGKONG, January 28th, 1896.

my

annual report

for the year 1895.

1. Tables are appended shewing the amount of work done since the Public Health Ordinance came into force with particulars of the work done during the past year.

2. Plans for the re-drainage of 2,815 houses were deposited and passed by me during the year as being in accordance with the provisions of the Public Health Ordinance.

3. The re-drainage of 1,889 houses has been completed and the plans of 44 houses cancelled during the year, leaving 1,449 houses to carry forward to 1896.

4. In addition to the above, notices have been received for repairs or additions to the drainage arrangements of 158 houses; 115 have been completed and 43 are carried forward.

5. The work done during each Quarter is shewn in Table A. A large increase took place in the second and subsequent Quarters in consequence of notices served on owners of property after the inspection of their houses.

6. Of the houses carried forward as incomplete, 482 (or one-third) are new buildings still in course of erection and a good proportion of the others are nearly complete.

7. In consequence of certain incompetent persons undertaking drainage works a list was made out in September 1895 of persons approved by the Board under section 49, Ordinance 24 of 1887, to do this work. This step has already been effectual in securing better and more careful work; in order to maintain this improvement I am of opinion that the list should be revised not less frequently than once a year.

8. During the past year water closets were fixed and connected to the house drains by permis- sion of the Board in No. 9 Praya Central (two); No. 14 Arbuthnot Road (one to replace existing apparatus); The Sailors' Home (two); and urinals fitted in No. 9 Praya Central (two) and in No. 6 Praya Central (one).

9. Certificates have been granted under section 74, Ordinance 24 of 1887, for 131 houses as having been built in accordance with the provisions of that Ordinance.

10. The records have been maintained and are complete to date.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Colonial Veterinary Surgeon's Report for 1895.

SANITARY BOARD OFFICES, HONGKONG, 29th February, 1896.

SIR, I have the honour to submit the Annual Report regarding the importation of live stock and the management of the slaughter-houses and markets during the year 1895.

IMPORTATION OF LIVE STOCK.

　　　Inspection of Animals. During the year under review no case of serious communicable disease- was observed amongst the large number of animals imported.

DEPOTS.

　　　The new public sheep and swine depots were opened early in the year and they are now in good steady working order. These depots are managed by a part of the market staff, viz., an Inspector, who also has charge of the city slaughter-house and the cattle depot, a shroff, two tallymen and six scavengers.

A new shed for the enumerating and unbasketing of swine imported and also for enumerating and shearing of the sheep imported is now nearly completed and will be ready for use early in 1896. This shed will greatly facilitate the work of the tallymen, as all animals entering the depots will pass in through this shed and those leaving the depots will pass out by the principal entrance gate at the other end of the buildings.

　　　During the nine months these depots were in use 19,124, sheep, and 95,225 swine passed through them.

CATTLE DEPOT.

The

　　　The health of the animals housed in the cattle depot remained good throughout the year. total number admitted was 19,040 head, and of these only 197 head were rejected as being unfit for slaughtering for food, mainly because of their extreme emaciated condition. The buildings forming the depot are in a good state of repair.

　　　The new cattle depot for the Kaulung district was completed towards the end of the year and was opened on the 1st of January, 1896.

SLAUGHTER-HOUSE.

　　　Victoria. The new slaughter-house for the city was opened on the 1st of January, and has proved satisfactory in every respect. The number of animals slaughtered therein amounted to 143,071, being a considerable increase over the number slaughtered in the city slaughter-house during 1894.

Kaulung. The building is in a good state of repair. The number of animals slaughtered therein also shows an increase on the numbers slaughtered in 1894.

Shaukiwan.-The temporary building is in a fair state of repair. The number of animals slaughtered therein is practically the same as the number for 1894. I understand that provision is being made for the construction of a proper slaughter-house for this district and that it will be erected as early as practicable.

-

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. CCV

The total number of animals slaughtered during the year shows a considerable increase on the figures for 1894. This is, as regards cattle and sheep, mainly due to the increased number of war vessels which were present in the Harbour during the year. The following table gives the figures for the past three years :-

It is satisfactory to be able to record that not a single case of serious cominunicable disease. occurred amongst the cattle (chiefly milch cows) housed in the various private sheds in the Colony. The sanitary condition of these sheds are carefully attended to by the Sanitary Inspectors stationed in the various health districts.

MARKETS.

Central Market. This fine new market was opened on the 1st of May, a few minor but necessary alterations have been made to the building since then, and everything is now in good working order. The staff for the market consists of an overseer, two night watchmen, and sixteen scavengers.

Western Market.-The buildings of this market are very old and do not by any means properly meet the requirements of the district. It is sincerely to be hoped that it will be found practicable to re-build it at an early date. The buildings, such as they are, are not in a good state of repair.

Saiyingpoon Market.--The remarks made regarding the Western Market are applicable to this

market.

Wantsai, Sookumpoo, Shektongtsui, Yaumati, and Hunghom Markets. The buildings are all in a good state of repair. The requirements of the district in which these markets are situated are adequately met.

Shaukiwan Market. The building is in a fair state of repair, but it is not large enough to meet the requirements of the district. However, as I understand it has been decided to either re-build or extend this market I need not say anything further regarding it at present.

PROSECUTIONS.

During the year 67 prosecutions were instituted for breaches of the Markets Ordinance and the bye-laws made thereunder, and 67 convictions obtained. The total amount of the fines inflicted was ($398.00) dollars three hundred and ninety-eight.

STAFF.

The Colonial Veterinary Surgeon went away on leave of absence on the 17th of June, and I was appointed to act for him during his absence.

Mr. WATSON was appointed Acting Assistant Inspector of Markets on the 5th of June, and was at once put in charge of the city slaughter-house and animal depots at Kennedy Town, as I had to take over the duties of the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon. Soon afterwards Mr. McEwEN was appointed to act for Mr. WATSON as Assistant Inspector of Markets. I am very glad to be able to say that both of these officers have performed their duties in a highly satisfactory manner. Mr. G. A. Souza, Interpreter, was appointed overseer at the Central Market in May, and Mr. J. A. Souza was appointed Interpreter in his stead Both of these officers have performed their duties satisfactorily.

One of the watchinen at the slaughter-house met with a fatal accident, and one was dismissed for neglect of duty. The vacancies thus caused have been duly filled, and the men appointed have given satisfaction.

Scavengers.-Nothing of any importance has occurred amongst these men, and as a rule they have performed their duties efficiently.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

H. MCCALLUM, Esq.,

Secretary, Sanitary Board,

THE EDUCATIONAL REPORT FOR 1895.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 21st May, 1896.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward to you the Annual Report on Education for the year 1895. 2. GENERAL EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS.-The total number of Educational Institutions of all descriptions known to have been at work in the Colony of Hongkong during the year 1895 amounts to 236 Schools with an enrolment of 10,721 scholars. Three-fourths of these, viz., 8,156 scholars attended 123 Schools under Government, the remaining one-fourth, viz., 2,720 scholars, attended 113 Schools entirely independent of Government. As to the Schools under Government, the vast majority, viz., 106 Schools with 5,684 scholars are Voluntary Schools aided and supervised by Govern- ment under the Grant-in-Aid Code, whilst the remainder, viz., 17 Schools with 2,472 scholars, are Government Schools established and maintained by the Government. Among the remaining Schools there are 107 Kai-fong Schools with 2,200 scholars, established and maintained by the Chinese com- munity without reference to, or aid from, the Government, and 6 private Schools under European management and equally independent of Government.

　　　3. DECENNIAL STATISTICS OF SCHOOLS UNDER THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.-The total number of Schools subject to supervision and examination on the part of the Education Department (exclusive of Queen's College and Police School) amounted in the year 1895 to 121 Schools as compared with 90 Schools in the year 1885 and 39 Schools in the year 1875. The total number of scholars enrolled in this same class of Schools during the year 1895 amounted to 6,792 scholars as compared with 5,833 scholars in the year 1885 and 2,606 scholars in the year 1875. During the decade from 1875 to 1885, there was an increase of 51 Schools with 3,227 scholars, but during the last decade (1885 to 1895) the increase amounted only to 31 Schools with 957 scholars.

4. TRIENNIAL STATISTICS OF SCHOOLS UNDER THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.-In the year 1893 there were (exclusive of Queen's College and Police School) 125 Schools with 7,594 scholars under the supervision of the Department. In the year 1894 (the year of the plague) the number was reduced to 118 Schools with 7.246 scholars, and in 1895 the number of scholars was still further reduced to 6,792 scholars in 121 Schools. The sole cause of this decline is a continued exodus of Chinese families, caused first by fear of the plague and subsequently through reluctance to submit to the house to house visitations of European sanitary officers.

*

　　　5. COMPARATIVE STATISTICS OF GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOLS AND GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS UNDER THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.--The above mentioned 121 Schools (with 6,792 scholars), under the super- vision of the Education Department during the year 1895, may be roughly divided into 15 Govern- ment Schools (wholly maintained and controlled by the Government) with 1,108 scholars, and 106 Mission Schools (subsidized by the Government on the basis of the Grant-in-Aid Code) with 5,684 scholars. The Government Schools, while abstaining from religious teaching in the Christian sense of the word, provide (in the case of Chinese Schools) the moral-religious teaching of Confucianism because it is inseparable from the teaching of the Chinese classical language, and (in the case of Anglo-Chinese Schools) add English teaching such as is given in Board Schools in England. The Mission Schools, whilst giving a religious and distinctly Christian education, are inspected and examined by the Government and receive annual grants, without any reference to specifically religious teaching, simply on the basis of the detailed results exhibited by the examination of every individual scholar in the subjects required under the respective standards fixed by the Code of Regulations for Educational Grants-in-Aid. Strictly speaking, therefore, none of the Schools under the supervision of the Government are absolutely secular Schools, though the Government Schools may be said to be non-Christian Schools, nor does the Government make any payment or give any grant directly in support of religious teaching. The Hongkong Code has neither a secular nor a religious bearing, but, as it only fixes the subjects for examination and leaves the choice of books aud selection of teachers and methods of teaching absolutely unfettered, and as the Government is prepared to subsidize Schools (which fulfil the conditions of the Code) established by the adherents of any religion whatsoever represented in the Colony, the Code has, since the year 1879, when its exclusively secular provisions were abolished, satisfactorily reconciled all the conflicting educational and religious interests of a com- munity which represents a greater variety of nationalities and religions than any other part of Her Majesty's possessions.

CCVIII SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE,

1896.

6. ATTENDANCE IN SCHOOLS UNDER THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. In my report for 1894 I referred to the havoc wrought in that year by the outbreak of the plague and I shewed how greatly the attendance was reduced in those Schools which maintained their existence throughout that terrible ordeal. Throughout the greater part of the year 1895 the attendance continued to make rapid strides towards recovering its previous position, indicating a return of the families which had fled from the Colony in 1894, but in the fall of the year 1895 a wide-spread epidemic of fever impaired the attendance once more very considerably for several months. The minimum daily attendance equalled in 1893 fully 64.92 per cent. of the maximum daily attendance. In 1894 it fell, owing to the plague, to 38.80 per cent. and in 1895 it rose again to 60.77 per cent. So also the average daily attendance, which in 1893 equalled 78.19 per cent. of the enrolment and which fell in 1894 to 61.41 per cent., rose again in 1895 to 76.95 per cent. These figures clearly show that the exodus of families, caused by the plague in 1894, was in the year 1895 nearly, but not fully, made good by a return of the fugitives.

7. LOCAL DISTRIBUTION OF SCHOOLS IN GENERAL.-Taking the distinction of secular and religious teaching in the modified sense which it has locally obtained, it may be noted that there were, in the year 1895, altogether 6,180 scholars receiving in 111 Schools a Christian religious education and 4,696 scholars in 125 Schools under quasi-secular instruction. The subjoined table, indicating the number of secular and religious Schools provided for each district, shows that, with the only exception of the sparsely inhabited extreme west end of the City (Kennedy Town and Shek-tong-tsui), which at present is furnished with religious Schools only, all the other districts in town and villages are equitably supplied with both kinds of Schools. Kowloon Peninsula has now ample and satisfactory school accommodation. The only part of the Colony which is still left unsupplied is the Peak settlement, as the attempt made in the preceding year (1894) to open a private School there has failed. If the Government would provide a piece of ground or, better still, ground and a building, there would be little difficulty in establishing a Peak School on the model of the British Kowloon College.

8. EDUCATIONAL EXPENDITURE OF THE GOVERNMENT.-The sum total of disbursements made by the Government for educational purposes during the year 1895 ($73,775.24 as compared with $79,268.14) amounted, after deducting school-fees and educational refunds paid into the Treasury ($13,635.00 as compared with $11,896.19 in 1894) to $60,140.24, as compared with $67,371.95 in 1894. This decrease in nett expenditure is entirely due to the effects which the outbreak of plague (in 1894) had in reducing the earnings (paid in 1895) of the Grant-in-Aid Schools. The details of educational expenditure incurred in the year 1895 are as follows:-Office of Education Department

CCIX

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

(including rent of office) $6,011.13; Queen's College (after deducting School fees and refunds) $21,665.92; Belilios Public School (after deducting school-fees) $2,787.59; fifteen other Departmental Schools $5,433.34; 106 Grant-in-Aid Schools $20,388.75; Physical Training $192.00; Government Scholarships, $2,867.80. The nett cost of education ($60,140.24) amounted in 1895 to 2.37 per cent. of the total Colonial Revenue (as compared with 2.07 per cent. in 1894, and 3.22 per cent. in 1893). As the total number of scholars under instruction in the Colony, during the year 1895, at the expense or with the aid of the Government (Police School excepted) was 7,816, the education of each scholar cost the Government $7.69, as compared with $7.66 in 1894 and $7.75 in 1893. In the several classes of educational institutions in the Colony, the cost to Government of the education of each scholar under instruction was as follows:-in Queen's College, $27.88; in Belilios Public School, $19.09; in the Departmental Schools, $5.64; in the Grant-in-Aid Schools $3.60. The Managers of those 106 Grant-in-Aid Schools who received from the Government in 1895, as Grants-in-Aid based on the definite results ascertained by the individual examination of each scholar (in the previous year), the sum of $20,388.75, expended during the year 1895 on those Schools, out of the resources of their respective Societies, supplemented in the case of seven Schools by school-fees, the sum of $56,213.04.

NATURE OF THE EDUCATION GIVEN IN THE SCHOOLS OF THE COLONY. --The vast majority of the residents of this Colony being Chinese, and having neither domestically nor commercially any use or demand for any but a Chinese education, the nature of the education given in the majority of local Schools is largely confined to the teaching of the Chinese classical language. This sort of teaching has considerable educative value, firstly, because it uses for its medium a dead language, as remote from Chinese vernaculars as Greek or Latin is from English, secondly because the Chinese classics are powerful exponents of that which takes, in the case of a Chinaman, the place of religion (as well as of a comparatively pure code of ethics), and thirdly because Chinese teachers sincerely believe in, and are instinct with, the spirit of their classics. This system of teaching, which by itself (as in the case of the Kaifong Schools) limits the mental and moral vision to the horizon which confined the mind of Confucius twenty-four centuries ago, cramps the intellect, stunts the growth of moral feeling and bends the will into antagonism to everything non-Chinese, is, in the case of our 106 Grant-in-Aid Schools, happily balanced by the teaching of Christianity and by the spirit of modern civilisation. Thus it is that even those Grant-in-Aid Schools which confine their operations to giving a classical (but Christian) Chinese education in the Chinese language only, are nevertheless administering a powerful and healthy educational stimulus. As to those local Schools (Grant-in-Aid Schools and Government Schools) which give a European education in the English language (or in Portuguese), it may be observed that their organisation, books, methods and European trained teachers are indeed admirably adapted to the religious and moral idiosyncrasies of children of European and Indian descent in this Colony, but that they have neither books, nor methods, nor organisation suitable for the mass of the Chinese children of this Colony. This defect is strongly felt by the Chinese population, and restrains the growth of a popular demand for an English education on the part of Chinese residents. Not until this defect is remedied will there be any possibility of ac- complishing the desire which at present animates the Government, viz., to promote English rather than Chinese education among the native population of Hongkong. During the year 1895, two thirds of our local Schools gave a Chinese education and one third a European education.

　　10. FEMALE EDUCATION.-Leaving the Police School with 340 scholars (men) out of considera- tion, but including Queen's College with its 1,024 scholars, the relative numbers of boys and girls under instruction in the Colony are found to have stood, in the year 1895, as under:-Government Schools 1,752 boys and 380 girls; Grant-in-Aid Schools, 3,091 boys and 2,593 girls; Kaifong Schools, 2,170 boys and 30 girls; Private Schools, 67 boys and 453 girls. In other words, among the whole number of scholars under instruction in the Schools of the Colony in the year 1895, the girls numbered only 32.80 per cent., as compared with 32.49 in the plague year 1894, and 37.90 per cent. in the The only Schools in the Colony, attracting a fair proportion of girls, are the year 1893. Grant-in-Aid Schools, in which the number of girls under instruction during the year 1895, amounted to 45.61 per cent. That this is a very nearly normal proportion, may be inferred from the fact that, when the last Census was taken (in 1891), there were, among 29,899 children of school-going age in the Colony, 14,151 girls or 47.32 per cent.

　　11. NUMBER OF UNEDUCATED CHILDREN IN THE COLONY.-It is impossible, until the next Census is taken, to guage correctly the number of uneducated children in the Colony, as the official estimate of the population with regard to the year 1895 (244,930 people) makes insufficient or no allowance for the

e untold numbers of women and children who fled from the plague in 1894. There are no data to dete mine the proportion of fugitives who returned to the Colony in the year 1895. Certain it is that the Schools of the Colony suffered severely in consequence of an extraordinary retrogression of the population. Taking, however, the published estimate of the population, such as it is, for a basis, Table XIII., appended to this Report, indicates that as many as 22,038 children of school-going age (6 to 16 years) failed to attend school in the year 1895, viz., 10,076 boys and 11,962 girls. But as it is certain that a considerable number (say one half) of these boys and girls 6 to 16 years of age, though indeed not attending any School in 1895, owing to their having left school without going

through the full ten years' course, had previously been under instruction for some 3 or 4 years, all that can be said is, that the official returns, such as they are, indicate that some 10,076 boys and 11,962 girls remained imperfectly educated and that probably half of this number escaped the educa- tion net altogether and may be put down as remaining uneducated.

　　　　　12. RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL EXAMINATION.-The work done by Queen's College in the year 1895 has been examined and reported upon (Government Gazette of 15th February, 1896,) by independent special examiners appointed by the Board of Governors. As regards the Depart- mental Schools, Tables II. to VII., appended to this Report, supply the most important particulars. The detailed results of the annual examination of the Grant-in-Aid Schools will be found summarized in Tables X. and XI., where the grants allowed, and the percentage of scholars passed in each School, in 1895, are stated and compared with the results of the preceding year, and in Table XII. which records the percentage of passes gained in each subject. I subjoin, however, some special observations with regard to some of these Schools.

　　　　　13. BELILIOS PUBLIC SCHOOL. The annual examination of this Institution shewed highly satisfactory results. The staff of both divisions (Upper and Lower School) has been considerably increased and the school materials have been improved by the addition of special helps for object lessons. These improvements have been effected without exceeding the limits of expenditure fixed when retrenchment was aimed at to the verge of efficiency. In the Upper (European) School the attendance has steadily increased, indicating the growing popularity of this Institution, and the lessons given (in addition to the ordinary English subjects) in singing, instrumental music and physical drill are much appreciated by the parents of the children. It is only to be regretted that Chinese parents who send their sons to English Schools have not yet woke up to the recognition of the bearing which an English education has upon the true interests of their daughters.

14. DEPARTMENTAL DISTRICT SCHOOLS.-The number of these Government Schools has been con- siderably reduced within the last few years with a view to retrenchment. There are, in the first instance, 5 Anglo-Chinese Departmental Schools left, giving to the Chinese residing in the outskirts of the town (Saiyingpun and Wantsai) and in the principal villages (Wongnaichung, Stanley and Yaumati) the opportunity of securing for their sons an elementary English education, coupled with Chinese classical teaching. The teachers of these Schools are natives who have had no special technical training. The examination shewed, however, fairly good results in three of these Schools. If volun- tary effort would take up the work in these places, the Government might well confine its efforts in the sphere of Anglo-Chinese education to the working of Queen's College. Besides these five Anglo- Chinese Schools, there are, in the second instance, six small Departmental Government Schools, giving a purely Chinese education, at a very low cost, in isolated villages (Tanglungchau, (Hakka), Shekou, Wongmakok, Aplichau, and Pokfulam) where there is no other School within a radius of three aniles. These Schools which, with one exception, are located in cottages of the poorest sort, are doing useful work and are much appreciated by the poor people for whose benefit the Government, in the absence of private effort, maintains these. Schools.

　　　　15. GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOLS.-To replace Schools swept away by the plague, ten new Schools were started, under the provisions of the Grant-in-Aid Code, at the beginning of the year 1895. All through the year (1895) the 106 Grant-in-Aid Schools laboured (with the exception of one School) successfully to efface the injuries they had received through the plague in 1894. Unfortunately, within a few weeks before the examinations were held, the epidemic of fever, above referred to, once more thinned the attendance and seriously impaired the monetary results of the examinations. However, with an enrolment of 5,656 and an average attendance of 3,736 scholars, these Schools brought as many as 3,553 scholars under examination. The results were, in the Chinese Schools most affected by disease, below the average of former years, whilst in the Schools for European children a considerable advance was made in the matter of efficiency and earning power. The sun total earned by the 105 Schools as grants for the year 1895 ($18,187.62 paid to the Managers and $6,062.02 paid to the Teachers) was, however, not only within the limit of the amount voted by the Legislature, but left the sum of $1,007.61 to lapse into the Treasury. The Diocesan School, St Joseph's College and the Victoria English Schools specially distinguished themselves by a considerable increase in the proportion of scholars brought under examination in the higher (secondary) subjects, and the results obtained in mathematics and in English composition gave evidence of methodical and painstaking class teaching. The British Kowloon College, after passing through serious reverses, entered in the fall of the year into regular and steady work, which yielded at the annual examination good results, such as encourage the hope that the institution will soon be able to dispense with the special help which was necessary to tide it over its initial difficulties. As to those Grant-in-Aid Schools which give a Chinese education in the Chinese language, and contribute, though much needed by the local Chinese population, com- paratively little aid towards a promotion of modern civilization, it has been recognized by the Govern- ment that, though the local Chinese Girls Schools require yet to be multiplied, the existing Chinese Boys Schools are now sufficiently numerous to answer all the claims for a purely Chinese education which the native population may justly put forth. But, whilst continuing therefore those purely Chinese Schools which have already been admitted to participation in the privileges of the Grant-in-

　Aid Code, and even willing, in view of the backward condition of Chinese female education, to give grants to additional Chinese Girls Schools where needed, the Government is determined henceforth to seek to stimulate English rather than Chinese education. His Excellency the Governor (Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON) accordingly made an announcement in Legislative Council (25th November, 1895), which it is desirable to place here on record. "I am of opinion," His Excellency said, "that too much attention has hitherto been paid to purely Chinese subjects. With a view,

With a view, therefore, of promoting a more general knowledge of English amongst the Chinese, the Government proposes in future to sub- sidize only those schools in which special attention is paid to the teaching of the English language and modern subjects. It is hoped that this will tend to educate the rising generation of Chinese to more enlightened views and ideas, and to dispel the ignorance and blind superstition, which have proved, and still are proving, such a stumbling block to the promotion of their moral and physical well- being." The following Notification (No. 497 of 26th November, 1895) published in Government Gazette of 30th November, 1895, gave effect to the foregoing weighty words of His Excellency the Governor. "With reference to clause 6 of the New Code of Regulations for Educational Grants-in-Aid dated the 19th August, 1893, and published in the Gazette by Government Notification No. 310, notice is hereby given that His Excellency the Governor in Council has been pleased to direct that, until further notice, no school for boys opened after the date of this notification shall receive any grant-in-aid, unless such school shall give a European education in the English language besides com- plying with the other requirements of the Code." It is to be hoped that Managers of Grant-in-Aid Schools will see their way to adopt, more extensively than they have hitherto done, the plan of seek- ing to elevate the Chinese people of this Colony by means of English rather than Chinese teaching.

17. BELILIOS MEDAL AND PRIZE EXAMINATIONS.-There have been no examinations for the Belilios Medals during this year (1895). The fund is only $3,000 and was established primarily for rewarding acts of bravery in connection with the saving of life, and only to assist in the educational progress of the Colony in the second place. The annual income is small and in previous years there have been greater demands on it than it could stand. The Trustees hope to be able next year to resume operations, but with some diminution in the money value of the prizes.

　　　18. PHYSICAL TRAINING.-Eight of the local Schools continue the physical drill which is a popular exercise even in Girls Schools. The drill instructor, supplied by the Military Authorities, is giving great satisfaction especially since the Military Authorities courteously set the drill instructor free from certain duties which formerly interfered with the regularity of his attendance in the Schools. The Cadet Corps is being drilled in sections, a supply of wooden rifles having been sent to the three Schools interested.

　　　19. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.--The R. C. West Point Reformatory, aided by the Government under the Reformatory School Ordinance and otherwise, and the Kindergarten School of the Basel Mission, which receives no Government aid whatsoever, are the only Industrial Schools of the Colony. Sewing machines have been supplied, by a local business firm, to a number of Chinese Girls Schools in which regular instruction is now given in the use of sewing machines.

CCXII

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

　　　　20. MEDICAL EDUCATION.-The College of Medicine for Chinese is quietly continuing its work of imparting a knowledge of Western medicine and surgery to its dozen or so of students. It is hampered by the lack of a properly equipped building for teaching purposes, and by the non-recogni- tion of its certificates by the Legislature, but efforts are being made to secure the removal of both these obstacles to the progress of medical education in the Colony. Dr. J. C. THOMSON returned to Hongkong in March, and resumed the oversight of the students as Secretary to the College, and in October His Honour Sir FIELDING CLARKE, whose term of office had expired, was succeeded as Rector by the Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART.

　　　　21. SCHOLARSHIPS.-The draft of the revised Government Scholarship Scheme, referred to in previous reports, is still under the consideration of the Government. The last Scholarship, granted in 1893, involved in 1895 an expenditure of $2,867.80. As to non-official Scholarships, Queen's College had, in the year 1895, the benefit of 4 Belilios Scholarships, 2 Morrison and 1 Stewart Scholarship. St. Joseph's College had the benefit of 2 Belilios Scholarships. On 11 Medical Scholarships connected with the College of Medicine for Chinese, the Trustees of Belilios Trust Funds Nos. 1 and 3 paid, during the year 1895, the sum of $725, in addition to a sum of $360 paid to Queen's College and St. Joseph's College.

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S REPORT FOR 1895.

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 20th May, 1896.

SIR, I have the honour to forward herewith for your Excellency's information my report on the work of this department for the year 1895.

??

REVENUE.

The revenue collected during the year amounted to $92,921.00, and exceeded that of 1894 by $10,464.14. (See Tables I A., I B., I C.) The increase in the revenue from the markets is $7,995.54. Of this sum $6,925.76 is to be credited to the New Central Market, although all the markets, with the exception of the small market at Shektongtsui, have contributed to the increase. The revenue from hawkers licences which fell off in 1894 has risen again and is nearly equal to that collected in 1893, but the fifty vegetable stalls in the New Central Market have no doubt reduced the number of vegetable hawkers required in the Central District. The New Central Market was opened on the 1st of May. Table ID gives a comparison between it and the temporary market on the Praya, the accommodation provided for the sale of different articles of food, and the amount of rent collected in the latter in April and in the former in December. Two modifications of the sections into which the New Market was divided have been made by increasing the number of wholesale vege table shops at the expense of the wholesale fish section, and by allotting ten shops in the poultry section to chandlers. Both the poultry section and the wholesale fish section are still too large, and I do not anticipate that the shops at present empty will be let. In the temporary market there were only seven vegetable stalls, and in consequence the Praya and adjacent streets were always full of hawkers of vegetables, and the Police were never able to keep them clear. The provision of fifty stalls has put an end to this. All the stalls are let and there was a very keen competition for them at first, the high- est rent offered being $17.20 a month; but several of the lessees of the more highly rented stalls have found the rents too high and have been compelled to cease business, and the stalls have been re-let to others at a lower figure. Thus two stalls let in June for $16.23 and $15.90 are now let for $8.12 and $7.20 respectively, and the lowest point has not yet been reached.

　　The improved accommodation provided in the new market has apparently attracted customers at the expense of the Western Market, in which several stalls have been surrendered, although previous to the opening of the New Central Market rents had steadily increased in the former market.

EXPENDITURE.

The actual expenditure in 1895 under the head of personal emoluments and other charges, includ- ing exchange compensation, was $18,585.13 as against $22,489.84 in 1894.

PO LEUNG KUK INCORPORATION ORDINANCE.

(No. 18 of 1893.)

WOMEN AND GIRLS' PROTECTION ORDINANCE.

(No. 11 of 1890.)

Under Part II of the Ordinance 195 women and girls were detained and were disposed of as shown in Table II (A). The number of girls still under the protection of the office under section 19 of the Ordinance has been further reduced to 57 (Table II B). Forty-eight girls were reported to the Po Leung Kuk as missing in Hongkong during the year, and only ten were found again. The number of women who disappeared was 46, and only four were found again. These figures which are given in Table II (C) compare favourably with those for the year 1893.

　　The repeal of Part III of Ordinance 11 of 1890, which enforced the registration of brothels, has resulted, as was anticipated, in a large increase in the number of what are termed "sly brothels," ie., those which have no sign-board and are not used as public houses of entertainment. In September the number was estimated by the Police to be 124 and the number of inmates 424. These brothels are largely used by pimps as places of assignation for married women, and as it is known that in them young girls are introduced to a life of prostitution by their owners, they have been searched from time to time under warrant and rescues have been effected of girls who were dealt with under the Ordinance. Most of the sly brothels only occupy one floor of a house and some even only half of a

CCXXVIII SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

　　floor. The increase in their numbers is naturally very prejudicial to family life among the poorer classes, and has been viewed with great dissatisfaction by the Chinese, but they cannot be persuaded to take the prescribed legal proceedings against brothels, as that would entail an appearance in the witness box, from which they have a great aversion.

　　　　The Permanent Committee of the Po Leung Kuk has met monthly during the year and has continued to work harmoniously and efficiently. The question of the erection of a New Home has been engaging its attention. Plans have been approved, and it is hoped that the new building will be ready for occupation at the end of this year.

EMIGRATION.

The number of women and children permitted to emigrate and at whose examination an officer from this department was present was 11,008 as compared with 6,455 in 1894 and 9,109 in 1893, Details regarding them are given in Table III. Only ten were detained by me under the provisions of Ordinance 11 of 1890. Those who are bright are trained to answer the questions put to them in such a way as to afford no reasonable grounds for detention, and there is no doubt that a large number of the younger women who go as prostitutes do not regard themselves as free-agents and hold themselves. bound in honour to obey their mistresses' orders. If the Chinese houses in which the women are lodged before they emigrate were licensed and placed under closer supervision than at present exists it would be possible to more easily safeguard the interests of female emigrants before leaving this Colony. It must, however, be remembered that most of them emigrate to Singapore where steps are taken to secure their well-being.

POPULATION.

　　　　In previous years the death-rate has been calculated for the estimated population on the 31st December, but for this year the population of the Colony has been calculated for the 30th June, and, estimated on the average increase between 1857 and 1891, was as follows:--

British and Foreign Community

(including Army and Navy).

10,828

Chinese.

237,670

Total.

248,498

This estimate, however, can have little pretensions to accuracy owing to the measures taken in consequence of the plague in 1894, the removal of mezzanine floors, the closing of basements and the regulation of common lodging-houses. With a view to more accurate returns, I am of opinion that a census of the population of Victoria, if not of the whole Colony, should be taken at least once every five years. The taking of a census is quite familiar to the Chinese and creates no alarm, whilst the expense is not great, and one is certainly required if an accurate knowledge of the number of the inhabitants of each district of the city is thought necessary.

I am indebted to the Sanitary Department for the following figures shewing the number of pigs slaughtered for food in the Colony during the years 1891-1895:-

1891,

1892.

1893,

1894,

1895,

.122,942

.126,766

131,298

.125,725

.129,035

Taking them as a guide the population may be roughly estimated at 236,000, and this is no doubt the nearest approximation that can be inade.

MARRIAGES.

(Ordinance No.. 14 of 1875.)

The number of marriages solemnized during the year was 90 as compared with 61 in 1894. Two of these, however, were celebrated twice, so that the actual number was 88. The number of permits issued for firing crackers on the occasion of marriages between Chinese in Victoria was 194.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS.

(Ordinance No. 7 of 1872.)

　　　　Table IV A contains the number of births and deaths registered during the year. Table IV B the death-rate at different ages, and in Table IV C will be found the causes of death. The number of births among the British and Foreign Community was 232 as compared with 205 in 1894. The number of births registered among the Chinese was 1,195 as compared with 1,250 in 1894 and 1,575 in 1893. A truer approximation to the actual number of births in these three years, obtained by a method explained in the Registrar General's report for 1893, would be 2,126, 1,995, and 2,000 respectively. It is not improbable that the number of women in the Colony has decreased, the intrusion on private life, caused by the domiciliary visits necessitated by the plague, being viewed naturally with the greatest dislike.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. ccxxix

The number of deaths registered in the British and Foreign Community was 191 as compared with 251 in 1894; among the Chinese 5,209 as compared with 7,156 in 1894 and 5,230 in 1893. The causes of the deaths which occur in the Tung Wa Hospital are now reported by Mr. U I-KAI. The knowledge of the real causes of these deaths is of considerable importance, as almost all the members of the adult working population who die in Victoria are removed to that hospital on being taken ill. 171 out of the 191 deaths among the British and Foreign Community, and 1,757 out of the 5,209 among the Chinese Community were certified to by medical certificate or by the Coroner. It is impossible to expect a larger percentage of certified deaths among the Chinese Community until steps are taken to provide a supply of Chinese doctors with a suitable training in Western medical science.

The following table shows the number of deaths and the death-rate per 1,000 during the past six years:--

BURIALS.

Of the 4,106 Chinese who died in Victoria 3,850 were buried in the Colony, the bodies of 191 were sent away, and 65 coffins were reported as being in the Mortuary awaiting interment or removal.

EXHUMATIONS.

157 permits were granted during the year to exhume human remains for removal to China or for re-burial in the Colony. The Tung Wa Hospital has commenced the exhumation of over 4,000 bodies buried in their cemeteries, and there is no reason why the Government should not follow its example when the present Chinese cemeteries under its control become full.

督

HOSPITAL DEATHS.

Table IV (D) contains a return of the number of hospital deaths, which amounted to 1,439 or 26.65 per cent. of the total number of deaths for the year.

Table IV (E) gives particulars regarding the Tung Wa Hospital. The number of those under treatment during the year was 2,840; of these 1,457 were discharged, whilst the number of deaths was 1,210 or 42.61 per cent. of the number admitted.

The out-patients during the year were:-

Male, Female,...

108,835. ...... 54,457.

The closer supervision exercised by the Government over the hospital has not affected the number of non-paying patients, but it is noticeable that whereas there were 34 paying patients under treatment in 1893, there were none in 1894 and 1895. In 1890 there were 53, in 1891 74 and in 1892, 49.

VACCINATION ORDINANCE.

(No. 5 of 1890.)

978 vaccination notices were issued during the year, and 822 certificates of successful vaccination received.

Particulars are given in Table V.

There were no prosecutions under the Ordinance.

REGISTRATION OF BOOKS.

(No. 10 of 1888.)

Only 28 books were registered during the year as compared with 63 in 1894. The usual quarterly lists were published in the Gazette.

DISTRICT WATCHMEN.

A full statement of the revenue and expenditure for the year is given in Table VII (A), and the state of the force on the 31st December and other particulars will be found in table VII (B).

　　　　The District Watchmen were instrumental in bringing 337 cases before the Police Magistrate, and the Committee is indebted to the Chinese papers, the Tsun Wan Yat Po and to the Wai San Yat Po, for continuing to publish weekly lists of these cases for the information of the subscribers to the District Watchmen Fund.

The

The contributions to the Fund were larger than those in 1894, being $7,552.20 compared with $7,508.10. The actual expenditure was $10,004.22 compared with $9,341.51 in 1894. balance to the credit of the Fund is $13,408.26. The loss on exchange amounts to $86.23. Of this sum $64.03 are due to the discount at which the Chinese subsidiary coinage stands. The contributions are voluntary, and being made for a private purpose it is impossible to require payment in Hongkong coins. The amount received in Chinese coins was $5,617.40 whilst only a sum of $607.10 was collected in Hongkong coin.

The assistance rendered by members of the district watchmen force during the plague has been recognised by the Government by a grant of $426.75

CHINESE REcreation Ground.

The Fund is now free from debt and (See table VIII.)

The Government loan of $6,000 was paid off in June. on the 31st December had a balance of $840.11 to its credit.

The most useful method of disposing in accordance with the instructions of the Secretary of State of what it is reasonably expected will be a steadily increasing balance is under the consideration of the Committee of Management. Arrangements have been made with the Public Works Department to rebuild the cooking-stalls in a substantial manner. In December last 51 shops and 17 letter-writers tables were let. The number of the latter is being reduced as occasion offers. Nine permits were

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896. ccXXXI

issued for the sale of various articles on the ground. The revenue from the rent of shops, &c. was $2,008.13 compared with $2,189.81 in 1894. The expenditure was $1,888.66, including $1,000 in repayment of the Government loan. A sum of $250.95 was expended in repairing damage caused by

typhoons.

CHARITABLE FUNDS.

Table IX gives a statement of account of the Market Charitable Fund. Two pensioners are at present supported out of it, viz.:-

PANG WA a man whose hands were blown off by an explosion of dynamite, and Kwong Ho, a widow, left destitute by the death of her husband and with a large family.

Table X gives a statement of account of the Passage Money Fund.

THE COOLIE STRIKE.

The chief event of the year among the Chinese community was the strike of the coolies on account of the steps taken to prevent overcrowding by enforcing the registration of common lodging- houses. It is doubtful who were the instigators of the strike. One of its peculiar features was that no grievance was alleged by those on strike who, without advancing any reason, simply refused to register. Fortunately the Government maintained a firm attitude and refused to yield to pressure from certain quarters which should never have been brought to bear on it. The public supported the action of the Government, and, when it was seen that no concession would be made, the strike soon collapsed. To this end the aid so readily rendered by the Military in discharging cargoes from vessels in the harbour greatly contributed, and the collapse was also expedited by the care taken by this department to explain orally and by printed notices the object of the new regulations. These explan- ations prevented misrepresentation by which the ignorant masses are so often misled into resisting any new departure.

The number of common lodging-houses registered on the 31st December last was 457, the number in Victoria being 443, licensed to accommodate 6,849 coolies. In 1891 the number of coolie-houses in Victoria was 404, and the number of coolies occupying them 9,474. Some temporary inconvenience has been caused by the reduction of the number of inmates, necessitated by the bye-laws, but it has been lessened by carrying out the licensing gradually.

STAFF.

The posts of Colonial Secretary and Registrar General were amalgamated on the 24th March, the salary of the amalgamated posts being fixed at $810 a month, the salary formerly paid to the Colonial Secretary. By this arrangement a saving has been effected of $567 a month, being the salary form- erly drawn by the Registrar General. Mr. FUNG CHAN, who had been in the Government Service since 1869, first in the Post Office in Japan and since 1880 in this Office, retired on pension at the end of March, and on the 10th of April Mr. Lo MAN-KAM was appointed on six months' probation to fill the post of Registration Clerk. His appointment has since been confirmed. Mr. T. W. QUINCEY was appointed second Chinese clerk and interpreter in April in place of Mr. Lo MAN-YUK who joined the Government Service in the Straits Settlements. Mr. QUINCEY had performed the duties of the post since the 3rd October, 1894. In accordance with the recommendations of the Retrenchment Committee approved by the Secretary of State the salary of Mr. WONG WING-CHIU, Chinese clerk and shroff, was raised from $360 to $540 a year, and that of Mr. WONG KI-CHO, Chinese Writer, from $240 to $360.

In conclusion, I wish to avail myself of this opportunity to place on record my appreciation of the great aid rendered to me in discharging the duties of this department by Mr. BREWIN, the Acting Assistant Registrar General.

I have the honour to be,

Your most obedient Servant.

The following Despatch by His Excellency the Governor on the Incipience and Progress of the Bubonic Plague in Hongkong during 1896, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 22nd instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 23rd July, 1896.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

No. 117.

SIR,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 6th May, 1896.

I have the honour to forward for your information the following account of the incipience and progress of the bubonic plague in this Colony during the current year, and of the measures which have been and are being taken to suppress it.

2. The first case of plague occurred on the 4th January, and from that date to the 29th January there were 45 cases, as reported to you in my despatch No. 26 of that date. These cases were merely sporadic, being confined principally to the western portion of the City.

Precautionary measures of the following nature, to prevent the disease from spreading, were adopted without delay :-

(i) Every person found to be suffering from the disease was at once removed to the hospital at Kennedy Town, situated in an isolated position at the extreme western suburb of Victoria, and was there placed under treatment.

(ii) The other inmates of the house in which the case had occurred and who were in close contact with the patient were segregated on large and roomy junks locally known as "marriage boats," hired by Government for the purpose and anchored in the vicinity of Stonecutter's Island, where they were detained under observation for 10 days, 9 days having been ascertained to be the maximum period of incubation of the disease in 1894. Every attention was paid to the comfort of those segregated who, besides being fed at the expense of Government, were supplied with clothing, whilst their own was being disinfected by the Sanitary Board before being finally returned to them. After the period of 10 days had elapsed, they were at liberty, if still free from the disease, to return to the City, or to their own homes on the main- land. Only one or two persons developed the disease during the period of isolation, and they were of course at once removed to the Kennedy Town hospital for treatment.

(iii) The house in which the case occurred was at once closed and guarded by the Police until it had been thoroughly cleansed, disin- fected and white-washed under the supervision of the Medical Officer of Health attached to the Sanitary Board.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896.

　　3. During the greater part of January, Canton was reported to be almost entirely free from the disease, but towards the end of that month it became more prevalent there. This fact materially altered the state of affairs and as, in view of the difficulty of restricting the passenger traffic from that port, from which Hongkong derives the greater part of its food supply, the Colony was in any case exposed to the danger of the introduction of cases from thence and as the number of persons in segregation amounted to over 200 and was rapidly increasing, the Sanitary Board resolved to abandon the system of isolation on marriage boats. It was accordingly decided that such of the inmates of infected houses as desired to do so should be permitted, after their clothing had been disinfected, to proceed to Canton, their departure being supervised by the Police, and a sufficient sum of money being given to each person to defray the cost of his passage and his necessary expenses during the voyage.

　　4. Towards the middle of February the number of cases occurring daily began to show an appreciable increase, and the disease ceased to prevail only in a single district, but appeared to be spreading over the whole City. Consequently on the 19th of that month it was declared by the Sanitary Board to be epidemic and from that date the Health Officer of the Port ceased issuing clean Bills of Health to vessels leaving Hongkong.

　　5. About the same time the ordinary staff of the Sanitary Board was increased by the appointment as temporary Inspectors of Nuisances of nine European Police constables who were entrusted with the duty of aiding in the supervision of the inspecting, cleansing and disinfecting of houses.

　　6. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that during the latter part of February and the first three weeks in March, while the disease was increasing in Hongkong, Canton was reported to have become almost entirely free from it; the immunity it enjoyed being attributed by the Chinese to the cold weather which prevailed during that period.

　　7. It was, of course, not to be expected that the Chinese would submit with any great complacency to the compulsory inspection, disinfecting and cleansing of their dwellings, which cannot be carried out without causing some discomfort to those concerned, and though, I am happy to say, that they have shown themselves this year more ready than in 1894 to recognise the absolute necessity, in the interests of the public health, of the sanitary measures which have to be adopted, they nevertheless have displayed great unwillingness to come forward to report cases of plague coming under their cognisance. Innumerable have been the devices and subterfuges to which they have had recourse in order to remove patients and corpses from the Colony without the knowledge of the authorities, and, in many instances, with a view to avoiding enforced segregation, they deserted their houses, leaving victims of the disease dead or dying, the bodies not having been discovered till some days after death. One case was brought to light in which a corpse was being conveyed secretly out of the Colony as merchandise in a camphor-wood box.

　　8. In order, therefore, to allay the suspicions and apprehensions of the Chinese, who as a people are naturally timid, and to induce them to report cases with greater readiness, it was decided, towards the end of March, to permit them. to remove their sick to Canton under certain conditions, a copy of which is enclosed, and this privilege was shortly afterwards extended to the removal of corpses. Although this concession has been availed of only to the extent of the removal to Canton of one patient and four bodies, I am of opinion that the grant- ing of it has tended to calm the minds of the native population and to discourage the concealment of cases from the knowledge of the authorities.

　　9. I am glad also in this connection to be able to state that although a good many of the well-to-do Chinese have removed their wives and families from the Colony, and although the attendance at most of the schools has greatly diminished,

there has been no general exodus of the population such as occurred in 1894, and business has so far not suffered to any appreciable extent, except perhaps from the imposition of quarantine by the Governments of Singapore and Batavia.

10. Early in April, the Sanitary Board recommended that, in view of the danger involved in sending inmates from plague infected houses to Canton, where the disease had by that time again assumed formidable dimensions, sheds should be erected in the Colony for their segregation while their clothing was being dis- infected. Thrce such sheds have accordingly been erected, one each in the Eastern, Western, and Central portions of the City, and are being used for the temporary housing of the inmates of infected houses whilst the latter are being cleansed and disinfected.

11. On the 6th April, I found it necessary to apply to His Excellency the General Officer Commanding for military assistance to aid in the work of house to house visitations and cleansing, and he was good enough to detail for that work 12 men from the Royal Engineers and subsequently 17 men from the Rifle Brigade and 3 Non-commissioned Officers who are cheerfully performing their difficult work in a most efficient manner. They are being remunerated at the same rate as that fixed in 1894.

12. The search party visits and inspects each Chinese house in the Colony about once in every ten days, and from the 25th February to the 21st April no fewer than 3,200 houses, comprising 8,330 floors, each floor forming, with few exceptions, a separate dwelling were thoroughly cleansed, disinfected and, in many cases, also lime-washed by the "Whitewash Brigade." This work is still in progress. The total number of occupied Chinese houses in the City is 6,350, but as a number of these are occupied by well-to-do Chinese no interference on the part of the Sanitary Board is necessary. It is hoped that before long every house in the City requiring attention will have been cleansed and lime-washed.

13. Having described in detail the sanitary measures which have been taken to cope with the disease, I now proceed to deal with the subject from a medical point of view.

14. I am informed by Dr. LowsON that the type of the disease is identically the same as in 1894, a full description of which is given in that officer's report, forwarded in my despatch No. 122 of the 16th April, 1895.

15. I enclose a return showing the number of cases and deaths to date, and the number of cases which have occurred during each week since the 4th January.

16. I may here mention that in order to ensure all possible accuracy in the statistics, the bodies of all Chinese whose deaths are registered but the causes of whose deaths have not been certified by a medical practitioner are examined before burial by the Medical Officer of Health. In proof of the necessity of this step I may state that that officer found that between the 8th February and the 30th April as many as 50 deaths from plague had been erroneously registered as due to other causes, principally Consumption, Bronchitis and Intermittent Fever.

17. The mortality generally, as compared with 1894, shows a slight improve- ment. The total number of Chinese cases, up to noon on the 4th instant, was 675 and the number of deaths 602, or a little more than 89 per cent., whereas in 1894 the mortality among the Chinese who were treated in hospitals was 93 per cent., and it must also be borne in mind that in the latter calculation no account is taken of dead bodies found in the streets and sent at once to the burial ground, while the returns for the current year include all deaths from the plague. There are, however, grounds for believing that children are more liable to infection than was the case in that year.

Amongst the Europeans two Sisters of Charity from the Italian Convent have died, having contracted the disease from a case which occurred in that Con- The third case was a Master Mariner named JAMES ERNEST CLOUD, living at a marine boarding-house, who, it is believed, contracted the disease on board a Chinese launch running between Hongkong and Kowloon. He, also, I regret to say, succumbed to the attack. The other cases were those of two children of Warder GIDLEY of the Victoria Gaol, one of whom died and the other recovered, and of an Austrian in the employ of Messrs. SANDER & Co. who is still under treatment at the Government Civil Hospital and is progressing favourably towards convalescence. The Siamese died, and of the fifteen Indians six died, four recovered and five are still under treatment.

　　　　18. Early in March it was deemed advisable, in view of the possibility of the disease assuming an epidemic form, to procure extra medical assistance, and by the courtesy of Admiral HOFFMANN, I was fortunate enough to be able to secure the services of Dr. WILM of the Imperial German Navy, whose eminent attainments as a bacteriologist and intimate acquaintance with this particular disease, which he had previously studied here as well as under Professor KocH in Berlin, render him a most valuable acquisition to the Government medical staff. He arrived here from Japan on the 14th March, since which time he has been actively engaged in treating patients at the Kennedy Town hospital.

19. With regard to the origin of the plague there seems no doubt that it may be classed as a filth disease. It is confined chiefly to the poorer classes of the Chinese, whose dirty and insanitary habits foster its progress. The ordinary Chinaman of the poorer class in this Colony seldom thinks of cleaning his house, and the heaps of dirt and rubbish which the house-cleansing parties removes from one small floor of a house causes the spectator to wonder where the occupant can find room for himself. Many of the houses are, moreover, so situated and constructed as to afford an utterly inadequate supply of light and ventilation and the position is aggravated by the high rents which prevail in this Colony and which encourage overcrowding. The housing of the working classes in Hongkong is an important question the consideration of which should be no longer delayed. I accordingly propose shortly to appoint a Commission to enquire into and report on

this matter.

20. It is also a noteworthy fact that the outbreak of the present year, as in In 1894 the rainfall com- 1894, was preceded by a prolonged scarcity of water. menced exceptionally late, and not until the supply of water in the reservoirs was nearly exhausted, while in 1895 the amount of rain which fell was so abnormally small (45.84 inches instead of the usual 90 inches) that it was necessary, in order to husband the supply until the rains of 1896, to place the Colony on a limited supply throughout the dry season of 1895-1896. On the other hand it must not be forgotten that the rainfall of 1894, when it did at last come, was accom- panied by a sudden and very great increase in the number of cases of plague, doubtless because the wet weather drove the Chinese within doors and increased the overcrowding in their houses. The rains this year began early and there is now no scarcity of water in the Colony.

21. With regard to the financial aspect of the situation I will address a further communication to you at a later date. In the meantime I will content myself with remarking that, although the measures which I have described neces-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896.

677

sarily involve a considerable outlay, all possible economy is being exercised, bearing in mind the urgent necessity of complete and comprehensive action in suppressing at all hazards this fell disease, the annual recurrence of which cannot fail to affect prejudicially the prosperity of this Colony. That those measures are bearing good fruit may, I think, be fairly deduced from the figures of the return of cases, which cannot be considered alarmingly high when it is borne in mind that the disease is raging with great virulence in the City of Canton and on the mainland in the neighbourhood of the Colony, and that the population of the Colony has not been diminished by any such extensive exodus of the Chinese as took place is 1894.

22. In conclusion, I desire to state that the Members of the Sanitary Board and its staff deserve great credit for the efficient manner in which they are supervising and discharging duties of an arduous and disagreeable nature, but extra and anxious work has also fallen on other departments. I do not propose on the present occasion to mention the names of individuals deserving of special commendation. I consider that the staff at present employed in plague work aided as it is by departments of Government is sufficient to cope with the existing conditions, but so long as the disease is epidemic in Canton this Colony can never be free from grave anxiety. If the plague continues to rage in that City, it may be

necessary to endeavour to prohibit Chinese immigration into this Colony from thence, though I doubt whether it will be possible to devise steps for that purpose which will prove really effective. In any case nothing will be left undone which can in any way help to eradicate a disease which has already inflicted great loss and suffering on this Colony and which may permanently affect its welfare unless it can be prevented from recurring.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble Servant,

The following Despatches on the subject of the Military Contribution, which were laid before the Legislative Council on the 22nd instant, are published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 23rd July, 1896.

No. 107.

SIR,

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 21st April, 1896.

I have the honour to forward the enclosed memorandum from the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council on the subject of the Military Contribution, and to submit the following observations on the several points raised by them.

　　　　2. The position assumed by the memorialists in paragraph 1 of their memo- randum is, in my opinion, untenable and calls, I think, for no special remark.

　　　　3. As regards the contention in paragraph 2, the Unofficial Members seem to forget that no monies are paid away in respect of the Postal Service except for services actually rendered. It seems to me erroneous to maintain that the revenue collected on behalf of the Imperial Government or of the Postal Union brings no profit to the Colony. Without the services of the Imperial Government and the Postal Union, which are paid for by this revenue, the Postal Service would either come to a standstill or the Colony would have to make direct arrangements for the performance of those services, which might be a less economical method than that which at present exists. This part of the expenditure is, in fact, just as necessary to the service as the salaries of the Post Office staff. At the same time it appears to me that there are strong reasons why the entire portion of the revenue which is expended on the Postal Service should be exempted from the Military Contribu- tion. That service is one of the few commercial undertakings which are now controlled and managed by Government on behalf of the public, and I believe that it is generally recognized as a fundamental principle that, so far as is possible, only so much profit should be derived from a postal service as is necessary to meet such extensions and improvements as may be required from time to time in the service itself. Any profit derived from the service, except when so applied, constitutes a special tax upon that section of the public which makes use of the service, from which the remaining portion of the community is exempt, while a deficit is equivalent to a tax upon the whole community for the benefit of one por- tion of it, viz., those who send and receive correspondence through the Post. This is so manifestly unfair that tariffs are invariably so arranged as to guard against such a possibility, with the result that the profit may be and frequently is considerably in excess of the amount required for improvements in the Postal Service, the balance going to swell the general revenue.

　　　　A deduction of 17 per cent. from such revenue as might be raised to meet a deficit would constitute a tax on general revenue and therefore from the present point of view would be unobjectionable, but this case is not likely to occur in practice.

A deduction of a percentage on profits also seems to be open to no grave objection, provided that such part of the profit is exempted as may be devoted to necessary improvements in the service.

On the other hand the levying of the contribution upon the gross revenue derived from the Post Office appears to be equivalent to the exaction from a merchant of 17 per cent. of his capital and income, and I venture to submit that the revenue derived from the Post Office (or at least that part of it which is required for expenditure on the Postal Service) should be regarded as the capital of the Post-using portion of the community held in trust for it and administered on its behalf by the Government. I consider that the Government should be in a position to provide a Postal Service for the letter-writing public on as cheap terms. (inasmuch as it is not its object to make a large profit) as could be offered by private firms, but at the same time without expense to the non-letter-writing portion of the community. The impost of 17 per cent. on gross receipts renders this position quite impossible. In cases where the General Post Office competes to some extent with private firms (e.g., in the carrying of parcels), the latter must enjoy an immense advantage at any rate if the parcels post is to be conducted on strict business principles, without assistance from general revenue. Again in cases where the General Post Office exercises a monopoly, owing to this impost of 17 per cent. there will be unnecessary hardship either to the general public or to the Post-using section of it, and the hardship will increase as the business of the Post Office is extended. I venture to hope that in view of these considerations it may be decided to exempt from the deduction for the Military Contribution that portion of the revenue which is devoted to the necessary expenses of the Postal Service. I should add that if the contention of the memorialists is upheld, the amount to be deducted in respect of 1895 on account of transit charges and expenses of the Postal Con- vention would be $145,711.00. The total revenue of the Post Office in 1895 was $244,449.71 while the expenditure was $194,240.27, leaving a balance of $50,209.44. For the reasons I have stated, I consider this to be the largest sum on which the impost of 17 per cent. should be charged.

4. The contention in paragraph 3 is obviously sound, as the water accounts with departments are simply a matter of book-keeping; the amounts are merely book entries: no money actually passes and if it did it would simply be transfer- ring money from one account to another.

5. I agree with the memorialists also that the items classed last year as appro- priations in aid should fairly be exempted. For example, the Government might hand over Queen's College or the Government Civil Hospital to a Public Body, paying to such Body the difference between the cost of upkeep and the amount of the fees collected. The revenue would be thereby diminished by the amount the fees, while it would scarcely be contended that Government should not entrust the management of such institutions to a public body simply because to do so would decrease the amount of the Military Contribution. Items of this nature are practically Refunds of Expenditure. A list of the amounts of the appropriations in aid for 1895 is enclosed.

*

6. The item referred to in paragraph 5 of the memorial should also, I think, be exempted. The sum mentioned, viz., $15,000, has been provided in the Estimates to meet the expenditure on account of refunds of revenue.

7. As regards paragraph 6, I have nothing to add to the remarks contained in paragraph 5 of my despatch No. 267 of 28th August, 1895, except that the memo- rialists are in error in supposing that the revenue derived from Water Rates and the Central Market will, in course of time, cease and determine, although they might be decreased.

8. I shall be glad to be favoured with an carly decision on the several points. raised by the memorialists.

9. It is satisfactory to note that the Unofficial Members have raised no objec- tion to the principle of appropriating a percentage of 17 per cent, of the Colonial Revenues to the use of the Imperial Government as a Military Contribution, and I trust that, if it is possible to meet their wishes as regards some of the details to which attention has been drawn in their Memorandum, this much-vexed question will be at last satisfactorily and finally settled.

any

MEMORANDUM on the Military Contribution by the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong, submitted for the considera- tion of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies.

When it was first proposed that the Colonies should contribute towards the expenses incurred by the Imperial Government in the maintenance of a Military Force in the respective Colonies, the inhabitants of Hongkong cheerfully acquiesced, and the Members of Council readily voted the sum of ￡20,000 a year-the amount originally levied on this Colony. When the Military Contribution was raised from ￡20,000 to ￡40,000 on the promise of a larger garrison to be stationed here the Council voted the increase without hesitation, and there was no opposition until it was discovered that the enhanced contribution was claimed and insisted upon before addition had been made to the forces in garrison or any extra expense incurred by the Imperial Treasury on that account. Later on when the heavy fall in exchange, while leaving the sterling amount of the contribution untouched, had raised its equivalent in dollars to an amount wholly out of proportion to the revenues of the Colony,-from $254,211.00 in 1891 to $384,000.00 in 1895,--the Secretary of State was respectfully requested to reconsider the whole subject and to reduce the amount of the Military Contribution to a figure which would re- establish something like a reasonable proportion between the general revenue and the military tax. The same question was raised at the same time in the Straits Settlements and in other Crown Colonies, and was so strongly pressed on the attention of the Imperial Government that within the last year it was determined to accept from the Eastern Colonies a fixed percentage of their revenues instead of claiming from them each year a sterling amount of an invariable character.

For the Straits Settlements and for Hongkong the proportion of the Military Contribution to the general revenue was fixed at 17 per centum, and in the adjust- ment of the amount to be paid for the current year the question at once presented. itself in both Colonies as to what constituted general revenue. In the Straits Settlements it was conceded by the Secretary of State that the municipal revenue raised in Singapore should not be included in the general revenue of the Straits * Settlements for the purpose of calculating the amount of the Military Contribution. So far as Hongkong was concerned the Colonial Office decided that the 171 per cent. was to be taken out of the gross total revenue, deducting only the amounts received as premia on the sale of Crown Lands, and that there was no deduction to be allowed on account of items of revenue claimed to be of the same class and character as those exempted from taxation in Singapore as being purely municipal.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896.

683

Municipal Revenue is revenue raised in a city or town for the purpose of defraying the expenditure necessary for the proper and efficient administration of the city or town. It is levied on the inhabitants of the city or town, and no one who resides outside its limits is called upon to contribute. It differs in this from general revenue which is chargeable on all persons within the territory alike whether resident in or out of the town, and which is applicable for all purposes and not confined to purely local expenditure. As a general rule municipal revenue is collected and disbursed by a different authority from that which receives and

‧ expends the general revenue of a colony or a territory, but this fact is immaterial. The true criterion of a municipal tax is the limitation of the area within which is collected and applied.

Although the City of Victoria has no municipal government, and although all taxes are levied and collected by the general Government of the Colony, there are nevertheless items of Revenue which are distinctly municipal within the above definition and not general. The assessed taxes (Police, Lighting, Fire Brigade, and Water Rates) afford a perfect illustration. Every house in the Colony pays 7* per cent. on the annual valuation towards the general expenses of the Colonial Government. Houses in the Hill District and part of Kowloon pay 102 per cent. Houses in the City of Victoria pay 13 per cent., which is apportioned as follows:- Police 83 per cent., Water 2 per cent., Lighting 1 per cent., and Fire Brigade 2 per cent.

The extra percentages are clearly Municipal Rates, just as much as if they were levied by and paid to separate municipalities. They are charged upon limited classes of persons, and for limited purposes, to defray expenditure wholly incurred within the localities named.

The revenues derived from the sale of night-soil under contracts for its, removal from the City of Victoria constitute also a distinct item of municipal revenue. The proceeds are applied solely for the benefit of the city and of its inhabitants in pro viding for the cleansing of the streets and for the removal of rubbish and dirt having no money value to the collector of it.

The Eastern, Central, and Western Markets are within the city and are solely for the use of the city and its inhabitants. If a municipality were established h?r? the markets would be handed over to it as undoubtedly municipal property. The rents derived from the letting of stalls in these markets is therefore municipal not general revenue.

In like manner with other items. A careful examination of the Revenue Returns and of the Ordinances under the authority of which many items of revenue are raised will shew that they are only leviable within the City of Victoria and in so far are distinctly municipal and not general revenue and therefore not fairly, or in accordance with the principle applied in the Straits Settlements, chargeable in respect of the Military Contribution.

The fact of Hongkong not having a Municipal Council should not militate. against the Colony being as fairly treated as we would be if we had one.

The Unofficial Members of Council desire further to call the attention of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State to one or two other points in connection with the Military Contribution which were overlooked in the discussions in Council on the subject, in view of the much greater importance of the question of Municipal Revenue, and which in their opinion afford just grounds for a reduction of the

amount :-

1. The 17 per cent. should be calculated on the General Revenue of the Colony, less the amount recently raised to defray the Military Contribution itself, otherwise the Colony is paying not only on its ordinary revenue but in addition on the amount of extra revenue specially raised to defray the Military Contribution itself.

684

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896.

A

2. The Post Office is an Imperial Establishment in fact, if not in name, and is also an international institution in so far as it works in connection with the Postal Union. It has branches outside of the Colony in various ports in China. It derives a revenue from them and defrays certain expenditure on their account. large portion of the Post Office revenue (so called) is collected on account of the Imperial Government or of the Postal Union, and brings no profit to this Colony whatever. Such monies form no portion of the revenue of this Colony and ought to be thrown out of account, it is submitted, in the calculation of the gross revenue taxable for the Military expenses.

3. In the Estimates for the current year (1896) there appear to be items Included on the Revenue side of the account which do not represent any real receipts by the Treasury. Several of the Departments are charged, for the convenient keeping of the Water Account, with annual sums for the water they consume.

　　　　These departments do not, in fact, pay any money. If they do, it is money out of the Public Treasury. Such items are only book entries and should not be allowed to swell the gross total of the general revenue, for the purposes of the Military Contribution tax.

4. There are other items to the amount of about $46,000 classed last year as Appropriations in Aid," and which were deducted from the gross expenditure in order to arrive at the amount of revenue to be raised, but which are used this year to swell the gross revenue. These are not in any true sense revenue at all. They are receipts which render it necessary to raise less revenue annually. Such as the proceeds of the convict labour in the Gaol. The amounts recovered from Diplo- matic, Naval, and Military Departments, Seamen and Debtor's, towards the Gaol Expenses. The Contribution from the Imperial Post Office. The Grant-in-aid from the Admiralty towards the Lock Hospital. The Contribution from the Chinese Government towards Gap Rock Light. Refunds of Police Pay, and of cost of Police Stores, &c.. Sick Stoppages from the Police Force, and other items of the same character.

　　　　5. There is another noteworthy item which ought to be deducted from the Gross Total. The Colonial Secretary estimates that during the year 1896 the Treasury will have to refund to the payers some $15,000 out of revenue received, i.e., that the revenue to be received will be some $15,000 less in fact than he estimates it at. These $15,000 should clearly be deducted,

6. Lastly, the monies raised annually for the payment of interest on loans, and for the purpose of maintaining sinking funds for the re-payment of these loans Such loans were raised on the ought not to be made liable to the military tax.

security of the Colony's capital in land unsold, in its waterworks, markets, &c., and are part of its capital. The revenues now raised from the Water Rates, Central Market, &c., are charged specifically with the re-payment of the debts incurred in respect of the Waterworks, Market, &c., and with the interest on the loan. The amounts so collected are not Ordinary but Extraordinary Revenue, and will cease *and determine when the specific purposes for which they were imposed have been accomplished. The Government is bound by a distinct agreement in respect of the Light Dues, which interfere with the complete freedom of the Port. If there is any profit to the Colony after payment of interest and after provision of sinking funds that is revenue and clearly liable, but otherwise not.

SIR,

(Despatch from the Secretary of State to the Governor.)

DOWNING STREET,*

8th June, 1896.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 107 of 21st April last, forwarding a Memorandum from the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council, in which they suggest that certain items should be omitted from the Statement of Revenue, on which the Military Contribution is based.

2. I regret that I am unable to meet the views of the Unofficial Members in this matter, and I would observe that if any of their proposals were adopted, it would be necessary to reconsider the proportion of Revenue which has been fixed. as the amount of the Contribution.

+

686

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896.

3. That proportion, seventeen and half per cent., taken on the total gross revenue of the Colony, less Land Sales, and including all those items which have hitherto been accounted for as Revenue, appears to me to be by no means an unreasonable sum to ask the Colony to contribute; and I have already explained in my despatch No. 258 of 26th October last why I consider that there is no unfairness in charging the same percentage in the case of Hongkong as in that of the Straits Settlements, although in the latter Colony municipal revenues are not taken into account.

4. Turning to those items of Revenue which were in the Estimates for 1895, (for the first and last time), treated as Appropriations in Aid, I would remark that they are in the nature of reimbursements towards expenditure, most or all of which expenditure would have to be incurred, even if nothing were recovered by way of reimbursement. These receipts are therefore, in my opinion, properly treated as Revenue, and as indicated in my telegram of this day's date I can see no sufficient reason for deducting them from the total on which the Contribution is to be based.

5. Similarly I can see no reason for deducting any portion of the Postal Receipts, as proposed in your despatch under acknowledgment. Most of the arguments advanced by you on this point would apply equally to several other Heads of Revenue, e.g., Harbour Receipts, Court Receipts, and Water Receipts, all of which might in one sense be regarded as reimbursements in aid of expenditure.

　　　6. I request you to lay this despatch and my despatch of 26th October last before the Legislative Council.

I have the honour to be,

Governor

The following Reports on the question of the Public Lighting of the City of Victoria, the Hill District, and British Kowloon, which were laid before the Legislative Council on the 22nd instant, are published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 23rd July, 1896.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

In pursuance of the directions contained in the letter of appointment issued by His Excellency the Governor on the 9th January, 1896, "to find out what- streets require better lighting and the cost thereof," the undersigned Committee have the honour to submit the following report:-

The Committee held nine meetings, during seven of which they perambulated the City of Victoria and peninsula of Kowloon between the hours of 8 P.M. and

11 P.M.

At their ninth meeting they examined one witness, Mr. T. COLLINS, the Secretary of the Hongkong and China Gas Company, Limited, and they also considered the Gas and Electric Light Contracts.

The Committee recommend increases and alterations in the lighting of the streets aggregating $14,152.90 exclusive of the cost of mooring lights, cutting trees, and removing signboards.

In the Appendix will be found the nature and positions of the various addi- tions and alterations suggested.

Additions suggested.

Posts 156 @ $26.40,.

Brackets 154 @ $18.00,

Bridges 4 @ $40.00,

314 Welsback burners for above @ $7.50,

Initial Cost.

.$4,118.40 2,772.00

160.00

2,855.00

$9,405.40

Alterations recommended.

The existing gas lamps 638 to be reduced by 5, and the remaining 633

fitted with Welsback burners @ $7.50,

4,747.50

$14,152.90

To His Excellency

The Committee recommend the use of the Welsback burners for the following

reasons:

(1) The present cost of upkeep per lamp of 11 or 12 candle-power is $2.85 per mensem whereas that for the Welsback of 25 to 30 candle-power will only be $2.70, so that the initial cost of the burner will therefore be recouped in four years, after which a saving of about 5 per cent. per annum will accrue, while the brilliancy of the lights will be doubled at once.

(2) The Welsback burner requiring a sealed lantern is less liable to

extinction.

3) The Welsback gives a quite sufficiently intense light for the purpose the Committee have in view and is much cheaper than the Electric Lamp in the initial cost and upkeep.

Governor Sir W. ROBINSON, K.C.M.G.

}

688

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896.

Four of the new posts proposed in San Wa Fong should, however, carry lanterns of the S Welsback pattern involving a monthly cost of upkeep of $3.60 per lamp, and giving a light of 50 to 60 candles.

The Committee further recommend that the ordinary glass tops of streets lanterns be replaced by opal glass as opportunity offers, as this will increase the light by reflection and will not be charged for by the Gas Company.

The Committee would also suggest the lighting of the cable lamps at Hung Hom with gas when it is extended to that village; the same remarks would apply to the lamps at Whitfeild, though the date in that case would appear to be more

remote.

The bulk of the new lights-suggested in the City of Victoria would be placed in small lanes and blind alleys, many of them private, but which whether private or public, should, from a police point of view, and for the protection of life and property, be lighted without delay.

Honourable Director of Public Works,

For any remarks you may have to offer. The question of the lighting of the Hill District was not referred to the Committee.

to it?

What is your opinion with regard

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

5th June, 1896.

No. 394.

SIR,

(Report by the Director of Public Works.)

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE, HONGKONG, 13th July, 1896.

I have the honour to inform you that I have considered the report of the Com- inittee appointed by His Excellency the Governor to consider the question of Public Lighting in the City of Victoria and British Kowloon.

2. Generally speaking, the question of lighting streets may be divided into two headings, viz. :-

(a) The Lighting of Public Streets, Roads and Lanes, and

(b) The Lighting of Private Streets, Roads and Lanes.

The former can only properly be designated "public lighting," though perhaps from a police point of view the latter may be considered equally if not the more important.

694

THE HONGKOng governmENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896. -

3. In Urban Districts in England, the improvement, including lighting, of private streets and roads is regulated by the section 150, Public Health Act 1875, under which section the Urban Authority has power to call upon the owner or owners of the property abutting upon such streets if they are not properly sewered, levelled, paved, channelled or are not lighted to the satisfaction of the authority to carry out the necessary works within a specified time.

　　　　4. The question of the efficient construction, maintenance and lighting of private streets and lanes is one that I have on previous occasions referred to.

　　　　5. In my opinion the owners of property abutting on private streets and lanes should be liberally treated in all cases where such owners are prepared to hand the private streets and lanes that are used as public thoroughfares over to the Govern- ment, but until such streets and lanes are taken over by the Government the cost of efficiently lighting them should undoubtedly devolve on the owners of property abutting thereon, and I would remark that the cost of lighting the City during 1895 was $42,527 whilst the revenue derived from the rate of 14% levied for lighting purposes on the present rateable value amounts to $49,700, leaving a balance of some $7,000 per annum only, to meet the interest on capital expenditure already incurred and that necessary to place the lighting of the public streets on a satisfactory basis, as well as the increased annual cost of maintaining the additional lights required.

　　　　6. It is not therefore my intention to enter further upon the question of lighting private streets and lanes beyond mentioning that owing to the various nature and considerable extent of the obstructions so often to be found in such streets and lanes, brackets on the walls would be of little use and probably lamps fixed on posts in the middle of the street or lane would be found the most efficient means of lighting.

7. Turning now to the question of improving the lighting of the public

streets.

　　　　The report of the Committee is somewhat difficult to follow being unaccompanied by a plan, and further it contains no indication of the general principles upon which the proposed alterations and additions are recommended.

8. Generally speaking, I am of opinion that considerable improvements may be effected in the lighting of the City of Victoria at a small cost, but before under- taking such alterations it would be well to decide on the general principles to be adopted, and I recommend that a district should be taken in hand and improved in accordance as far as practicable with the following rules:-

(a) All gas burners used to be of the pattern known as the Welsback. (b) In streets of 50 feet and less in width the burners to be those known

as the "S" pattern.

(c) In streets exceeding 50 feet in width and at important junctions the

burners to be those known as the "C" pattern.

(d) All lamps to be placed at distances apart of about 70 yards, which

should be considered a maximum.

(e) The glazing in the upper part of all lanterns to be of opal glass.

(?) All brackets to be abolished and lamp posts fixed instead.

(g) The height of lamp posts, except where carrying "clusters," not to

exceed 10 feet 6 inches.

9. Plan* marked "A" accompanying this report shews the alterations required in a portion of the central district, if the foregoing general principles are adopted.

* Plan not printed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896.

695

10. It will be seen on reference to the plan that in this district the positions of 9 lamps require altering, 5 bracket lamps require posts and 6 additional lamps are required. The whole of the burners, 32 in number, to be of "S" Welsback pattern.

1

11. In Kowloon the same general rules equally apply to the villages of Hung Hom, Yau-Ma-Ti and Monkoktsui. In the more thinly populated district of Tsim-Sha-Tsui and along the road skirting Hung Hom Bay, the lights for the present might be placed about 400 feet apart admitting of extra ones being put in between if it is found necessary to ultimately improve the lighting of this district.

12. On plan* marked "B" I have shewn the necessary alterations in the posi- tions of the existing lamps in Yau-Ma-Ti so as to light the public lanes and the new lamps it is necessary to fix in order to efficiently light the villages of Hung Hom and Yau-Ma-Ti and the road skirting Hung Hom Bay.

In addition to these the system of public lighting will shortly require extension to Monkoktsui where several houses are in course of erection, and I anticipate that some 10 lights will be required by about the end of the year.

13. The number of lamps that require altering in Yau-Ma-Ti is 17 and the number of new ones required is 19.

The number of new lamps required to light the village of Hung Hom and the road skirting Hung Hom Bay is 36, and I submit as an experiment that these alterations and additions should be carried out and that all new lamps and those existing in the village of Yau-Ma-Ti, viz., north of Austin Road, should be fitted with Welsback burners of the "S" pattern.

14. The estimated cost of the extensions and alterations proposed in the two preceding paragraphs, based on the enclosed correspondence? with the Secretary to the Hongkong and China Gas Co., is as follows:-

Removing and re-erecting 17 lamps, Yau-Ma-Ti, Additional Lamps, Yau-Ma-Ti, 19,

$ 141.00

741.00

Providing and Fixing Welsback burners 56,

Extension of Lighting to Hung Hom 36 lamps,

1,728.00

Extension of Lighting to Monkoktsui 10 lamps,

380.00

$3,494.00

say, $3,600.

15. The annual cost of lighting and maintenance is estimated as follows:-

Yau-Ma-Ti,

Hung Hom,........

Monkoktsui,

....56 lamps @ $33=$1,848.00 ......36 lamps @ $38= 1,368.00 10 lamps @ $33= 330.00

$3,546.00

?ay, $3,600.

In addition to the above, there are in Kowloon, in the Kowloon Point district, 62 lamps which it is not proposed to alter at present, the annual cost of lighting and maintaining these may be put down at $2,200, making the total annual cost in respect of lighting Kowloon $5,800.

* Plan not printed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896.

　　　　　16. The following tabular statement gives the annual rating valuation of the several districts in Kowloon, the sum realized by a rate of 1% and the estimated annual cost of lighting and maintaining the lamps :-

　　　　　17. The annual rating valuation of property in Kowloon has, however, in- creased considerably of late years and there is at present reasonable prospect of this increase being maintained.

　　　　　　18. Under these circumstances, I am inclined to recommend to the favourable consideration of His Excellency the Governor the adoption of the proposals con- tained in paragraph 13.

19. Turning now to the Peak, I estimate this district will require about 100 lamps for the efficient lighting of the roads, exclusive of the Magazine Gap district. I have omitted the latter owing to the necessity, if this district is included, of laying a new main from Queen's Road East up the Wanchai Gap Road, the cost of which would not compare at all favourably with the advantages to be gained.

20. The estimated cost of fixing 100 lamps is $4,850.

　　　　　21. There is at present no rate for lighting levied in the Peak District. The annual rating valuation is $96,450, 14% per annum rate would realize an annual revenue of $1,446, and the annual cost of lighting and maintaining 100 lamps would be 100 @ $36=$3,600, or equivalent to, say, 4% on the rating valuation.

22. In conclusion, I would point out that apparently from the enclosed cor- respondence the Gas Company are not prepared to carry out the alterations and extensions proposed at the prices named by the Committee in their report.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable

SIR,

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 2nd July, 1896.

Adverting to our conversation on the subject of public lighting, I have the honour to forward you a plan marked B, which please return, shewing the proposed extension and alteration of the gas lamps in Kowloon.

* Plan not printed.

698

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896.

You will observe that some additional lamps are proposed in Yau-ma-ti as well as some minor alterations in the positions of the existing lamps, also

　　　　　That it is proposed in the near future to extend the system of gas lighting to the village of Monkoktsui immedia tely north of Yau-ma-ti, in which village it is anticipated that the first instalment of lights would number 10, further

　　　　　It is proposed to extend the system to the village of Hunghom and erect lamps on the road skirting Hunghom Bay.

　　　　　All the present lamps in the village of Yau-ma-ti, viz., north of Austin Road and all new lamps to be fitted with the Welsback burners "S" pattern.

　　　　　I shall be obliged if you will furnish me with an estimate for each of the above proposals and the rate at which your Company will be prepared to maintain and light the lamps.

I have considered your proposal for the Peak District as shewn on the plan* returned herewith, and am of opinion that the positions of the lamps are too far apart. I estimate that about 100 lamps fitted with the Welsback burners "S" pattern will be required, and I shall be obliged if you will be so good as to furnish me with an estimate of the cost of erecting these lamps and the rate at which your Company is prepared to undertake their lighting and maintenance.

A reply at your early convenience will greatly oblige.

SIR,

(Secretary, Hongkong and China Gas Co., to Director of Public Works.)

HONGKONG & CHINA GAS COMPANY, LIMITED,

WORKS, WEST Point, HONGKONG, 8th July, 1896.

I have the honour to address you in answer to your letters dated June 17th, and July 2nd, 1896, numbered 287 and 333 respectively, and I beg to return to you the plan marked B.

　　　　Proposed alteration of position of lamps in Yau-ma-ti.-The Gas Company will undertake the removal of the 17 lamps to the new positions as indicated on the plan B for an inclusive sum of dollars one hundred and forty-one ($141). The lamps in question are numbered 2, 4, 6, 9, 16, 22, 23, 24 and 25 which will cost $5 each, and 3, 7, 8, 10, 11, 15, 17 and 18 which will cost $12 each.

　　　　Proposed additional lamps in Yau-ma-ti.-The Gas Company will undertake to supply and connect piping ready for lighting to 19 new lamps, furnished and erected by the Government, in positions as shewn on plan B for an inclusive sum of dollars one hundred and seventy-one ($171). If the Company supply and erect the posts, cradles and lamps complete, an additional charge of $30 each lamp would be incurred.

* Plan not printed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896.

699

Proposed fitting of Welsback "S" burners to all the lamps at present fixed and the proposed additional lamps at Yau-ma-ti.-The Gas Company will undertake to provide the lamps in question (numbering 56) with Welsback "S" burners and will make the necessary alterations to lanterns for an inclusive sum of dollars five hundred and four ($504). You will notice that the cost per lamp is $9. In my letter to you dated April 15th, 1896, I offered to effect the alteration at a cost of $7.50 per lamp. I much regret that I cannot now offer to do the work at the latter figure for the local agent of the Welsback burner has withdrawn his former offer and requires $1.50 more.

Proposed extension of public lighting to the village of Monkoktsui.-The Gas Company will undertake to supply and connect piping ready for lighting to 10 new lamps, furnished and erected by the Government and situated immediately north of Yau-ma-ti, including the supply and fixing of Welsback "S" burners and making the necessary alterations to lanterns, for an inclusive sum of dollars one hundred and eighty ($180). If the Company supply and erect the posts, cradles and lamps complete an additional charge of $30 each lamp would be incurred.

Proposed extension of Public Lighting to Hunghom.--The Gas Company will undertake to supply and connect piping ready for lighting to the proposed 36 lamps, supplied and erected by the Government in positions as shown on plan B, including the supply and fixing of Welsback "S" burners and making the necessary. alterations to lanterns, for an inclusive sum of dollars six hundred and forty-eight ($648). If the Company supply and erect the posts, cradles and lamps com- plete an additional charge of $30 each lamp would be incurred.

Proposed extension of public lighting to the Peak District.-The Gas Company will undertake to supply and connect piping ready for lighting to, say, 100 lamps, supplied and erected by the Government,-in positions situated within the district shown on plan submitted by the Gas Company-and supply and fix Welsback "S" burners (making the necessary alterations to lanterns) for an inclusive sum of dollars eighteen hundred ($1,800). If the Company supply and erect the posts, cradles and lamps complete an additional charge of $30.50 each lamp would ? be incurred.

*

Lighting and Maintenance of Lamps.-56 lamps at Yau-ma-ti and 10 lamps at Monkoktsui. The Gas Company will undertake to supply gas, light, ex- tinguish and keep the burners in good repair (storm damage excepted) at the rate of $2.70 per lamp per month.

36 lamps at and on the road to Hunghom. The Gas Company will under- take to supply gas, light, extinguish and keep the burners in good repair (storm damage excluded) at the rate of $3.10 per lamp, per month. When the private consumption of gas off the proposed new main to Hunghom reaches 40,000 cubic feet per month the rate per lamp, per month, will be reduced to $2.70.

100 lamps at the Peak. The Gas Company will undertake to supply gas, light, extinguish and keep the burners in good repair (storm damage excepted) at the rate of $3.00 per lamp per month.

Lighting private lanes and streets in Victoria.-I regret that I cannot make any inclusive offer for this work for the cost would vary with the circumstances of each case.

I shall be happy to furnish you with estimates to carry out any par- ticular work in this respect upon receiving your specific requirements.

I have the honour to be,

2. Should this application be approved, the Applicant will receive half pay, during his absence, and a certificate entitling him to a return passage to the Colony within the period specified; subject to his passing a satisfactory Medical Examination about three months before the expiration of his leave as to his fitness to return to a tropical climate.

3. The Applicant shall enter into a bond for the refund of the half pay, or the difference between his pension and half pay as the case may be, drawn after his leaving the Colony, in case he does not return at the period specified.

4. This period may nevertheless be extended by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, on such ground as may to him be satisfactory, and such extension shall be deemed to be leave originally granted within the meaning of the above Sections I, II, and III, anything therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding,

　　　　5. Such leave shall enable the Applicant, to count his previous service as regards the time of service required before a pension is granted, and each period of two months ou leave shall count as one month's service towards the computation of a pension.

　　　　6. On the Applicant's return to the Colony, he shall be reinstated in his relative position in the Force, and he will be sworn in for a further period of five years' service under §§ 8 and 13 of Ordinance

14 of 1887.

　　　　7. If at the expiration of five years' service leave is refused on the ground that the Applicant's service cannot then be spared, he shall be allowed leave at the earliest suitable date, and the time elapsing between the expiration of the above mentioned five years' service and the date of his going on leave, shall be calculated towards the period of five years' service to be served by him on his return from such leave. If the time of year at which a period of five years' service expires is on consideration of health unsuitable for leave to be taken, the Applicant may, by permission, go on leave at any time within six months from such expiration of service, and this interval shall count towards his next period of five years' service.

　　　　8. The period of time spent on leave will not count towards the calculation of time constituting any term of five years' service for bonus or passage.

PENSION REGULATIONS.

The following Regulations, concerning the general conditions upon which Pensions, Superannuation Allow- ances, or other Relief are to be granted, under Section 17 of Ordinance No. 14 of 1887 to Subordinate Officers or Constables of the Police Force, authorized by His Excellency the Governor in Council, this 17th day of July 1896, are substituted for those made by the Governor in Council on the 17th March, 1896, and Gazetted on the 11th April, 1896:-

1. Subject to the exceptions and provisions hereinafter contained, a Pension will be granted to any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force, who has completed fifteen years' service and has attained the age of 45 years, at a rate not exceeding 20/60ths of the Annual pay of his rank, pro- vided he shall have been in receipt of the same for the last three years; otherwise, the pension shall be calculated upon the average amount of pay received by such person during the three years next preceding the commencement of such Pension. Further, for every full and complete year's service after fifteen years, an addition to the Annual Peusion of 1/60th part of the average annual pay of his rank shall be made for each additional year of such service.

　　2. Any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who may be invalided after serving ten complete years and under fifteen years, may (provided that such invaliding be not the consequence of intemperate or vicious habits) be granted a pension not exceeding 15/60ths of the average Annual pay of his rank during the past three years' service, and 1/60th for each full and complete year's service after ten years.

　　3. Any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who may be invalided as aforesaid before the completion of ten years' service may,-

(1) If his entire service under the Crown has exceeded ten years, be awarded a pension at the rate of one seven-hundred-and-twentieth of the amount of his annual salary at the date of such retirement for each calendar month of his service in the Colony, and in every such case there may be added, at the discretion of the Governor in Council, in computing the period of the retiring Officer's service in the Colony, a number of months not exceeding-

(a) One-third of the aggregate of his service elsewhere than in the Colony; nor (b) Two-thirds of his service in the Colony.

(2) If his entire service under the Crown has not exceeded ten years, be granted a gratuity not exceeding one month's average pay for the past three years for each complete year's service.

　　Provided, however, that the pension or gratuity of a Subordinate Officer or Constable, who retires on account of infirmity of body or mind certified by the Colonial Surgeon to have been brought about by his own default or vicious habits, may be reduced by an amount not exceeding one-half of the pension or gratuity to which such Subordinate Officer or Constable would otherwise have been entitled.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896.

　　　　　4. Subject to the exceptions and provisions hereinafter contained, a Pension will be granted to any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who joined previous to the 13th September, 1884, (excepting those who have joined under or have accepted an agreement to serve fifteen years before becoming entitled to a Pension) who has served ten years, at the rate of 15/60ths of the Annual pay of his rank, provided he shall have been in receipt of the same for the last three years; otherwise, the Pension shall be calculated upon the average amount of pay received by such person during the three years next preceding the commencement of such Pension. Further, for every full and complete year's service after ten years, an addition to the Annual Pension of 1/60th part of the average annual pay of his rank shall be made for each additional year of such service.

5. Extra pay for acting appointments will in no case be taken into consideration, but good conduct allowance shall be included with pay in the calculation of Pension or Gratuity.

6. Time spent on leave with half salary, provided it does not exceed 1/6th of resident service, shall be reckoned for Pension purposes at the rate of one month for every two months of such leave, but absence without salary or beyond 1/6th of resident service shall not be reckoned at all.

　　　　　7. All Pensions granted shall be payable in Hongkong or London, or in the principal towns of British India.

8. Full Pensions or Gratuities will be granted only on the Applicant's conduct having been uniformly good.

　　　　　9. Should the Applicant's conduct not have been uniformly good, a modified Pension or Gratuity will be granted. Should his conduct have been decidedly bad, no Pension or Gratuity will be paid.

　　　　　10. A Commuted Payment, calculated at five times the amount of the Annual Pension, may be granted in lieu of a Pension, if the applicant should be unable to draw his Pension at any of the places before mentioned, or on the application of the Grantee, at the discretion of His Excellency the Governor.

11. If any person receiving a Pension under these Regulations should be appointed to fill any office in any Public Department, such Pension shall cease to be paid for any period subsequent to such appointment if the annual amount of the profits of the office to which he shall be appointed shall be equal to those of the office formerly held by him; and in case it shall not be equal to those of his former office, then no more of such Pension shall be paid to him than what with the salary of his new appointment shall be equal to the profits of his former office. Where such appointment is in a Colony or country having a currency different from that of Hongkong, the standard dollar of this Colony shall, for the purpose of calculation, be taken as equivalent to three shillings sterling.

12. A Pension is granted only on the condition that it becomes forfeited, and may be withdrawn by His Excellency the Governor, in any of the following cases :-

(a) On the conviction of the Grantee for any indictable offence.

(b) On his knowingly associating with thieves or suspected persons.

(c) On his refusing to give information and assistance to the Police whenever in his power, for the detection and apprehension of Criminals, and for the suppression of any dis- turbance of the public peace.

(d) If he enter into or continue to carry on any business, occupation, or employment, which shall be, in the opinion of His Excellency the Governor, disgraceful in itself or inju- rious to the public, or in which he shall make use of the fact of his former employ- ment in the Police in a manner which His Excellency the Governor considers to be discreditable and improper.

13. It shall, however, be in the discretion of the Governor in Council to grant a special rate of Pension to any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who may be compelled to quit the Public Service by reason of severe bodily injury, occasioned without his own fault, in the discharge of his public duty or whose retirement may be proved to have been accelerated by such injuries.

In every such case the amount of pension shall be made to vary partly in proportion to the num- ber of years served by the injured man, and partly in proportion to the severity of the injury and the date of its occurrence. The portion of the pension earned by length of service shall be calculated at the rate of 1/60th of the salary of the Officer at the time when he retires, for each year of service then completed by him, whether the number of years served be more or less than 10, but no number of years service shall be allowed to give a claim to pension of more than 40/60th in respect of service only; and in every such case a Medical Certificate shall be furnished stating:-

(a) Whether the capacity of the Officer affected to contribute towards his own support is

slightly impaired, impaired, materially impaired, or totally destroyed, and

(b) Whether such incapacity is likely to be permanent.

(c) Whether the retirement is to be attributed solely and immediately to the injuries received.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JULY, 1896.

711

　　　An addition to the pension of the Officer, on account of the injury may then be made on the following scale :-

(a) When the capacity is certified to be slightly impaired not exceeding 6/60ths of the

of the Officer at the time he receives such injury.

(b) When impaired not exceeding 12/60th;

(c) When materially impaired not exceeding 18/60ths;

(d) When totally destroyed not exceeding 24/60ths.

pay

　But in no case shall the total amount of the pension exceed the full amount of the pay of the sufferer at the time when the injury occurred.

　　　14. When Police Officers are transferred to some other civil employment under the Government of Hongkong or to any other public employment with the sanction of the Governor, they will not, in the absence of any special arrangement to the contrary, retain a claim to pension under these Regula- tions but will be dealt with under the ordinary regulations for civil servants or under such special arrangements as may be made at the time of the transfer.

ADDITIONAL POLICE PENSION REGULATION,

When Police pensioners are appointed to some other civil post under the Government of Hong- kong, provided that they have served 10 years in such employment, they will not, in the absence of any special arrangement to the contrary, retain a claim to pension under these regulations, but they will be entitled to a pension calculated as if their service in the Police Force and in such employment had been continuous service.

Should their service in such employment be for a less period than ten years they will be entitled to a gratuity in accordance with the Civil Service pension minute in respect of such service and to their Police Pensions, which may have been in the meantime in abeyance.

That the Government Civil Hospital, Lunatic Asylum, Fever Hospitals, &c., be thrown open to the College for purposes of clinical instruction; and that the Authorities of the Military and Naval Hospitals, and of the Alice Memorial and Nethersole Hospitals, be requested to similarly place these institutions at the disposal of the College.

The Committee, having examined the plans for a College building prepared by Honourable E. R. BELILIOS, C.M.G., in connection with his generous offer to the present College of Medicine for Chinese, consider that such a building would be admirably adapted to the requirements of the proposed College, and that no better site could be obtained than that which he has offered, on account of its proximity to the Government Civil Hospital.

Finally, the Committee have estimated that an annual grant of $5,600 would be required to meet the expenses of the proposed College, as follows :

$3,600, as salary of Superintendent, who would probably be provided with quarters in the College building.

$1,000, to provide honoraria for ten lecturers at the rate suggested.

$1,000, to cover laboratory expenses, the wages of coolies, and other incidental outlay.

Reservations by Dr. Ayres and Dr. Atkinson.

Having signed the report of the Committee appointed by His Excellency The Governor to enquire into and report on the best organization for a College of Medicine for Hongkong, dated July 15th, with reservations, we have to point out that we differ from the opinions set forth in paragraphs 7, 8 & 9.

　　　　We are of opinion that if" The Hongkong College of Medicine " is to be founded that the conditions as to entrance, examinations and course of study should be as far as practicable in accord with the conditions obtaining in England, otherwise the proposed Licentiateship will give a false impression of the qualifications of its holders and the credit of the College will, in the course of a few years, suffer in

consequence.

It must also be borne in mind that if the College is successful after the first 5 years it is most probable that many of the men leaving annually will have to seek employment elsewhere than in this Colony, it is therefore equally to the advantage of the individual that the highest standard of efficiency should be adopted.

The sixth standard of the new Education Code (Hongkong 1893) does not include in its subjects either Latin or Euclid, and is therefore below the minimum standard required by the General Council under the Medical Act of 1886.

The proposal to allow lecturers on the subjects under examination to assist in such examination is a course not likely to commend itself generally.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH AUGUST, 1896.

749

It is doubtful whether as a rule the facilities afforded in this Colony with the addition of a lecturer in Anatomy and Physiology are sufficient to enable students to obtain during a 5 years' course the standard of efficiency required by the General Council under the Medical Act of 1886.

It must be borne in mind that one of the chief tendencies of Chinese partially trained in Western medicine is the wholesale use of narcotics.

The title of Licentiate in Medicine and Surgery, Hongkong College of Medicine, will be liable therefore in many cases to convey a false impression, and many of its holders will not be sufficiently qualified to practise medicine and surgery without supervision.

It appears desirable that two qualifications should be founded, viz., "native apothecaries," and "Licentiates in Medicine and Surgery." The qualifications, or rather conditions for the latter, being not less than those required by the General Council under the Medical Act; and that the proposed prospectus be referred to the Privy Council in order to ascertain whether they consider it sufficiently com- prehensive.

Dr. THOMSON admits that the present course of study and examination at the College of Medicine for the Chinese is not equal to the standard required by the general Medical Act of 1886, nor have all the students been required to pass any examination in Arts previous to their admittance to the College, and we would here remark that the College, as at present constituted, does not appear to us a

'college" within the meaning of section 13 of Ordinance 6 of 1884.

Qualified students of the existing College should therefore be required to pass the usual examinations before being allowed to register the qualification, and the present students desirous of continuing their studies in the new College should be required to pass the necessary entrance examination.

SIR,

753

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 31st July, 1896.

I have the honour to forward herewith for your information a copy of a report of the Committee appointed to enquire into and report on the question of a College of Medicine for Hongkong and to enquire whether you are prepared to extend your generous offer to give a site and to erect a building thereon to be used as a College to an institution placed under Government control, as recommended by the Com- mittee, or whether you have any modifications to suggest.

2. The recommendations of the Committee will, I feel sure, commend them- selves to you, as they are calculated to secure that permanence and continuity which are of primary importance to an Institution such as it is intended the College of Medicine should be, and I trust this will be an additional reason, if such be necessary, for inducing you not to withdraw your liberal offer, which cannot fail to be of benefit to this Colony.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable

E. R. BELILIOS, C.M.G.

WILLIAM ROBINSON,

Governor.

(Honourable E. R. Belilios to the Governor.)

HONGKONG, 4th August, 1896.

SIR,

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your favour of the 31st ultimo enclosing copy of a report of the Committee appointed to enquire into and report upon the question of the establishment of a College of Medicine for Hongkong and enquiring whether I am prepared to extend my offer to give a site and erect a building thereon to be used as a College to an institution placed under Govern- ment control as recommended by the Committee.

In reply I desire to state that circumstances have changed completely since my offer was made. That offer was made to an institution then struggling for existence, but warmly supported by Dr. CANTLIE and carefully administered by Dr. THOMSON. The former has left the Colony, the latter is relinquishing hospital work, and the other medical practitioners are too much occupied to take any keen interest in the institution.

My interest was largely made up of sympathy with the gallant efforts of the two doctors above named to found a College of Medicine for the Chinese.

The situation is now wholly changed. It has been shown by the recent out- breaks of bubonic plague in our midst and the insanitary condition of the city that the work of educating the Chinese in sanitation and a belief in Western medicine is a work that should be undertaken by the Government.

Under the changed conditions, therefore, I have finally resolved not to extend my offer to the College, much as it pains me to refuse assent to any suggestion coming from your Excellency.

I have the honour to be.

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 6th August, 1896.

No. 111.

SIR,

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 28th April, 1896.

　　　　With reference to paragraph 13 of my despatch No. 201 of the 4th September, 1894, I have the honour to inform you that in that month I appointed a Committee, consisting of two Officials (the Director of Public Works and Treasurer), and three Unofficial Members (Mr. CHATER, Mr. JACKSON and Mr. MCCONACHIE), to consider and report on the question of providing new Government Offices and the advis- ability of concentrating them under one roof. The Committee has advised that two blocks of buildings should be erected on the Praya Reclamation comprising new offices for the Treasury, Public Works, Post Office and Registrar General's departments, and the Supreme Court and the offices connected with it, but that the Colonial Secretary's Office should be allowed to remain as at present.

　　　　2. A majority of the Committee being in favour of inviting competitive designs for the proposed new offices, I directed the Director of Public Works to draw up particulars and conditions of competition of which, as amended and finally approved by the Committee, I enclose copies for your consideration.

　　　　3. The Committee also considered at my request the financial aspect of the proposal, and expressed its opinion that, in view of the Acting Colonial Treasurer's confident anticipation that the ordinary expenditure of the current year will be largely exceeded by the Revenue, and that the surplus of revenue over expenditure is likely to be continued in future years, there is no necessity, at least for the present, to make any special arrangements for providing the funds required to meet the estimated cost of the works, viz., $700,000. The value of the present buildings, which it is proposed to replace, with the land on which they stand, is estimated at $250,000; the total nett cost to the Government of the new buildings would therefore be about $450,000, and as the expenditure of this sum would be spread over five years, the time within which it is calculated that the work could be com- pleted, I see no reason to doubt that the ordinary revenue of the Colony would be able to bear the burden.

　　　　4. If the scheme meets with your approval which, as the work is of pressing necessity, I earnestly hope will not be withheld, I propose to publish the conditions of competition in Shanghai and Singapore as well as locally, in order that the architects resident in those places may compete if they desire to do so.

　　　　5. I shall be glad if you will convey to me your decision in this matter at an early date, and if convenient by telegraph,

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

SIR,

(Despatch from the Secretary of State to the Governor.)

DOWNING STREET,

5th June, 1896.

With reference to your despatch No. 111 of 28th April last and to my telegram of the 3rd instant, I have the honour to inform you that before sanctioning the proposed crection of new Government Buildings at Hongkong, I desire to receive further information as to the necessity for the Buildings, and to be more fully satisfied, than I now am, as to the financial ability of the Colony to meet the expenditure out of current revenue.

　2. I request you therefore to forward to me the Report of the Committee, which considered the question of the Government Offices, together with any further explanations you may wish to give.

　3. As regards the financial position of the Colony, I should be glad to know the precise grounds upon which the Acting Colonial Treasurer confidently anticipates that the ordinary expenditure of the current year will be largely exceeded by the Revenue, in view of the fact that the Estimates sent home in December last only show a surplus of $6,500. It appears moreover, from the Returns forwarded in your despatch No. 92 of 14th April last, that the Revenue last year fell considerably short of the Expenditure (excluding Expenditure charged

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH AUGUST, 1896.

to the Loan), and that at the end of the year there was an actual excess of Liabilities over Assets, which was only met by temporarily appropriating for general purposes the balance of the 1893 Loan. I gather, however, that this state of affairs was largely due to the special expenditure on the Taipingshan Resumption Scheme, which will in part at least be ultimately recouped.

4. I should in any case not be disposed to sanction a Loan for such a purpose as the erection of Government Buildings, which are neither directly remunerative, nor like sanitary and water works, of pressing necessity for the health of the Colony.

5. I notice from the last paragraph of the second enclosure to your despatch No. 92 of 14th April last, that the Public Works, for which the present Loan was raised, are likely to absorb much more than the total sum realised by the Loan. It is therefore desirable to know how this excess expenditure is to be met, when considering the question of incurring other heavy expenditure on Public Buildings.

6. I will address you later on in a separate despatch as to the desirability of inviting competitive designs for the new Government Offices in the event of its being decided to erect them.

I have the honour to be.

SIR,

DOWNING STREET.

16th June. 1896.

With reference to the last paragraph of my despatch No. 126 of the 5th instant, I have the honour to inform you that I am not prepared to approve the proposal to invite competitive designs for new Government Offices at Hongkong.

2. The system has not been found to work very well in this country, partly owing to the difficulty of finding competent judges to decide on the merits of the competing designs; and partly because the selected design may turn out to be the work of an architect, or firm, of very limited experience in the supervision of actual construction, and in dealing with the numberless questions which arise in connection with a large building.

3. When it is decided to erect the new Government Buildings, it will, in my opinion, be desirable to employ the Consulting Architects to the Crown Agents for the Colonies, Messrs. ASTON WEBB and INGRESS BELL, who designed the Birmingham Law Courts and other notable buildings, and who have considerable experience in making designs for buildings in the tropics.

I have the honour to be,

PLEADINGS.

(1.) In an Action for damage by collision:

a. ("The Atlantic.")

PETITION.

In the Supreme Court of Hongkong, Admiralty Jurisdiction. [Title of Action.]

Writ issued

18

1. Shortly before 7 p.m. on the 31st of January, 1878, the brig "Anthes," of 234 tons register, of which the Plaintiff, George De Garis, was then owner, whilst on a voyage from Cardiff to Granville, in France, laden with coals, and manned with a crew of nine hands, all told, was about fifteen miles S.E. E. from the Lizard Light.

""

a

2. The wind at that time was about E. N. E., moderate breeze, the weather was fine, but slightly hazy, and the tide was about slack water, and of little force. The "Anthes was sailing under all plain sail, close hauled on the port tack, heading about S.E. and proceeding through the water at the rate of about five knots per hour. Her proper regulation side sailing lights were duly placed and exhibited and burning brightly, and a good look-out was being kept on board of her.

"1

3. At that time those on board the "Anthes" observed the red light of a sailing vessel, which proved to be the "Atlantic," at the distance of about from one mile and a half to two miles from the "Anthes," and bearing about one point on her port bow. The "Anthes" was kept close hauled by the wind on the port tack. The "Atlantic' exhibited her green light and shut in her red light, and drew a little on to the starboard bow of the " Anthes," and she was then seen to be approaching and causing immediate danger of collision. The helm of the "Anthes" was thereupon put hard down, but the "Atlantic," although loudly hailed from the "Anthes," ran against and with her stem and starboard bow struck the starboard quarter of the "Anthes' abaft the main rigging, and did her so much damage that the "Anthes soon afterwards sank, and was with her cargo wholly lost, and four of her hands were drowned.

"

4. There was no proper look-out kept on board the

"Atlantic."

5. Those on board the "Atlantic" improperly neglected to take in due time proper measures for avoiding a collision with the "Anthes."

6. The helm of the "Atlantic" was ported at an improper time.

7. The said collision, and the damages and losses con- sequent thereon, were occasioned by the negligent and improper navigation of those on board the "Atlantic."

The Plaintiff claims-

1. A declaration that he is entitled to the damage

proceeded for.

2. The condemnation of the Defendants [and their

bail] in such damage and in costs.

3. To have an account taken of such damage with the

assistance of merchants.

4. Such further or other relief as the nature of the case

may require.

ANSWER AND COUNTER-CLAIM.

In the Supreme Court of Hongkong, Admiralty Jurisdiction.

[Title of Action.]

1. The Defendants are the owners of the Swedish barque "Atlantic," of 988 tons register, carrying a crew of nineteen hands all told, and at the time of the circumstances herein- after stated bound on a voyage to Cardiff.

2. A little before 6.30 p.m., of the 31st of January, 1878, the "Atlantic" was about fifteen miles S.E. by S. of the Lizard. The wind was E.N.E. The weather was hazy.

782

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH AUGUST, 1896.

The "Atlantic," under foresail, fore and main topsails, main topgallant sail, and jib, was heading about W.S.W., making from five to six knots an hour with her regulation lights duly exhibited and burning, and a good look-out being kept on board her.

3. In these circumstances, the red lights of two vessels were observed pretty close together, about half a mile off, and from two to three points on the starboard bow. The helm of the "Atlantic" was put to port in order to pass on the port sides of these vessels. One, however, of the vessels, which was the "Anthes," altered her course, and exhibited her green light, and caused danger of collision. The helm of the "Atlantic" was then ordered to be steadied, but before this order could be completed was put hard-a-port. The "Anthes," with her starboard side by the main rigging, struck the stem of the "Atlantic" and shortly afterwards sank, her master and four of her crew being saved by the

"Atlantic."

4. Save as is herein-before admitted, the several statements in the Petition are denied.

5. The "Anthes" was not kept on her course as required by law.

6. The helm of the "Anthes" was improperly starboarded. 7. The collision was caused by one or both of the things stated in the fifth and sixth paragraphs hereof, or otherwise by the negligence of the Plaintiffs, or of those on board the "Anthes."

8. The collision was not caused or contributed to by the Defendants, or by any of those on board the "Atlantic."

And by way of Counter-claim, the Defendants say-

They have suffered great damage by reason of the

collision.

And they claim as follows:-

1. Judgment against the Plaintiff [and his bail] for the damage occasioned to the Defendants by the collision, and for the costs of this action.

2. To have an account taken of such damage with the

assistance of merchants.

3. Such further and other relief as the nature of the

case may require.

PETITION.

In the Supreme Court of Hongkong, Admiralty Jurisdiction.

Writ issued

[Title of Action.]

18

1. At about 2 a.m. on the 4th day of September, 1876, the steamship "Sarpedon," of 1,556 tons register, and 225 horse power, of which the Plaintiffs were owners, whilst on a voyage from Shanghai, and other ports to London, with a cargo of tea and other goods, was about 80 miles south-west of Ushant.

2. The wind at such time was about south-west, the weather was a little hazy and occasionally slightly thick, and the " Sarpedon" was under steam and sail, steering north-east, and proceeding at the rate of about ten knots per hour. Her proper regulation masthead and side lights were duly exhibited and burning brightly, and a good look- out was being kept.

, -

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH AUGUST, 1896.

3. At such time the masthead and red lights of a steam vessel, which proved to be the above-named vessel "Julia David," were seen at the distance of about two miles from and ahead of the "Sarpedon," but a little on her port bow. The helm of the "Sarpedon" was ported and hard-a-ported, but the "Julia David" opened her green light to the "Sarpedon," and although the engines of the "Sarpedon" were immediately stopped, and her steam-whistle was blown, the "Julia David" with her stem struck the " Sarpedon" on her port side, abreast of her red light, and did her so much damage that her master and crew were compelled to abandon her, and she was lost with her cargo. The "Julia David" went away without rendering assistance to those on board the "Sarpedon," and without answering signals which were made by them for assistance.

4. Those on board the "Julia David" neglected to keep a proper look-out.

5. Those on board the "Julia David" neglected to duly port the helm of the "Julia David."

6. The helm of the "Julia David" was improperly star- boarded.

7. The "Julia David" did not duly observe and comply with the provisions of Article 16 of the "Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea."

8. The said collision was occasioned by the improper and negligent navigation of the "Julia David."

The Plaintiffs claim-

1. A declaration that they are entitled to the damage proceeded for, and the condemnation of the said steamship 'Julia David," and the Defendants therein, and in costs.

56

2. To have an account taken of such damage with the

assistance of merchants.

ANSWER AND COUNTER-CLAIM.

In the Supreme Court of Hongkong, Admiralty Jurisdiction.

[Title of Action.]

1. The Defendants are the owners of the Belgian screw steamship "Julia David," of about 1,274 tons register, and worked by engines of 140 horse power nominal, with a crew of thirty hands, which left Havre on the 2nd of September, 1876, with a general cargo, bound to Alicante and other ports in the Mediterranean.

2. About 2.45 a.m. of the 4th of September, 1876, the "Julia David," in the course of her said voyage, was in the Bay of Biscay. The weather was thick with a driz- zling rain, and banks of fog and a stiff breeze blowing from S.S.W., with a good deal of sea. The "Julia David,' under steam alone, was steering S.S.W. W. by bridge steering compass, or S. W. W. magnetic, and was making about five knots an hour. Her regulation lights were duly exhibited and burning brightly, and a good look-out was being kept on board her.

""

3. In the circumstances aforesaid those on board the "Julia David" saw the green and masthead lights of a steamship, the "Sarpedon," about two miles off, and about two points on the starboard bow. The "Julia David' was kept on ber course. But after a short time the "Sarpedon" opened her red light and caused danger of collision. The helm of the "Julia David" was thereupon put hard a-port, and her engines stopped and almost immediately reversed full speed, but, nevertheless, the "Sarpedon" came into collision with the "Julia David," striking with the port side her stem and port bow, and doing her considerable damage.

4. The vessels separated immediately. The engines of the "Julia David" were then stopped, and her pumps sounded. She was making much water, and it was found necessary to turn her head away from the wind and sea. As soon as it could be done without great danger, she was steamed in the direction in which those on board her

783

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH AUGUST, 1896.

""

""

believed the "Sarpedon to be, but when day broke and no traces of the "Sarpedon could be discovered, the search was given up, and the "Julia David," being in a very disabled state, made her way to a port of refuge.

5. Save as herein-before appears, the several statements contained in the Petition are denied.

6. A good look-out was not kept on board the "Sarpedon." - 7. The helm of the "Sarpedon " was improperly ported. 8. Those on board the "Sarpedon " improperly neglected or omitted to keep her on her course.

9. Those on board the "Sarpedon" did not observe the provisions of Article 16 of the "Regulations for Preventing. Collisions at Sea.'

10. The collision was occasioned by some or all of the matters and things alleged in the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th paragraphs hereof, or otherwise by the default of the

Sarpedon," or those on board her.

66

11. No blame in respect of the collision is attributable to the "Julia David" or to any of those on board her.

And by way of counter-claim the Defendants say that the collision caused great damage to the "Julia David."

And they claim-

(1) The condemnation of the Plaintiffs [and their bail]

in the damage caused to the "Julia David and in the costs of this action.

(2) To have an account taken of such damage with

the assistance of merchants.

(3) Such further and other relief as the nature of the

case may require.

(2) In an Action for Salvage:

a. (The "

The "Crosby.")

PETITION.

In the Supreme Court of Hongkong, Admiralty Jurisdiction.

[Title of Action.]

Writ issued

18

1. The "Asia" is an iron screw steam ship of 902 tons. net register tonnage, fitted with engines of 120 horse-power nominal, is of the value of $150,000 and was at the time of the services hereinafter stated manned with a crew of twenty-three hands under the command of George Hook Bawn, her master.

2. At about 9 a.m. on the 29th of April, 1877, while the "Asia"-which was in ballast proceeding on a voyage to Nikolaev to load a cargo of grain-was between Odessa and Ochakov, those on board her saw a steam ship ashore on a bank situated about ten miles to the westward of Ochakov. The "Asia" immediately steamed in the direc- tion of the distressed vessel which made signals for assist-

ance.

3. On nearing the distressed vessel, which proved to be the "Crosby," one of the "Asia's" boats was sent to the "Crosby," in charge of the second mate of the "Asia," and subsequently the master of the "Crosby" boarded the Asia," and at the request of the master of the " Crosby" the master of the "Asia" agreed to endeavour to tow the "Crosby" afloat.

46

4. The "Crosby at this time was fast aground, and was lying with her head about N.N.W.

5. The master of the "Asia" having ascertained from the master of the "Crosby" the direction in which the 'Crosby" had got upon the bank, the "Asia" steamed up on the starboard side of the " 'Crosby" and was lashed to

66

her.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, STH AUGUST, 1896.

"

6. The "Asia" then set on ahead and attempted to tow the "Crosby afloat, and so continued towing without effect until the hawser which belonged to the "Asia" broke.

66

7. The masters of the two vessels being then both agreed in opinion that it would be necessary to lighten the Crosby" before she could be got afloat, it was arranged that the cargo from the " Crosby" should be taken on board the "Asia."

8. The "Asia" was again secured alongside the "Crosby" and the hatches being taken off cargo was then discharged from the "Crosby" into the "Asia," and this operation was continued until about 6 p.m., by which time about 100 tons of such cargo had been so discharged.

9. When this had been done both vessels used their

steam, and the Asia" tried again to get the "Crosby" off, but without success, The "Asia" then towed with a hawser ahead of the "Crosby," and succeeded in getting her afloat, upon which the Crosby" steamed to an anchorage and then brought up.

66

10. The "Asia" steamed after the "Crosby" and again hauled alongside of her and commenced putting the tran- shipped cargo again on board the "Crosby," and continued doing so until about 6 a.m. of the 30th of April, by which time the operation was completed, and the "Crosby" and her cargo being in safety the "Asia" proceeded on her

voyage.

11. By the services of the Plaintiffs the "Crosby" and her cargo were rescued from a very dangerous and critical position, as in the event of bad weather coming on whilst she lay aground she would have been in very great danger of being lost with her cargo.

12. The "Asia" encountered some risk in being lashed alongside the "Crosby," and she ran risk of also getting aground and of losing her charter, the blockade of the port of Nikolaev being at the time imminent.

13. The value of the hawser of the "Asia" broken as herein stated was $400.

14. The "Crosby" is an iron screw steam ship of 1,118 tons net (1,498 gross) register tonnage. As salved the "Crosby" and her cargo and freight have been agroed for the purposes of this action at the value of $41,092.

The Plaintiffs claim-

1. Such an amount of salvage, regard being had to the said agreement, as the Court may think fit to award.

2. The condemnation of the Defendants [and their

bail] in the salvage and in costs.

3. Such further and other relief as the case may

require.

Writ issued

‧

1. The "Emu" is a steam tug belonging to the Whitby Steam Boat Company, of six tons register, with engines of 40 horse power nominal, and was at the time of the circum- stances hereinafter stated manned by a crew of five hands.

"

2. Just before midnight on the 22nd of July, 1876, when the "Emu was lying in Whitby harbour, her master was informed that a screw steamship was ashore on Kettleness Point. He at once got up steam, but was not able, owing to the tide, to leave the harbour till about 1.45 a.m. of the 23rd.

3. About 2 a.m. the "Emu" reached the screw steamship, which was the "Newcastle," which was fast upon the rocks, with a kelge and warp out. The wind was about N., blowing fresh; the sea was smooth, but rising; the tide was flood.

4. The master of the "Emu" offered his services, which were at first declined by the master of the " Newcastle; shortly afterwards the kedge warp broke and the "New- castle" swung square upon the land and more upon the rocks. The master of the "Newcastle" then asked the master of the "Emu" to tow him off, and after some con- versation it was agreed that the remuneration should be settled on shore.

66

5. About 3 a.m. those on board the "Emu" got a rope from the Newcastle" on board, and began to tow. After some towing this rope broke. The tow line of the "Newcastle" was then got on board the "Emu," and the "Emu" kept towing and twisting the "Newcastle," but was unable to get her off till about 5 a.m., when it was near high water. The master of the "Emu" then saw that it was necessary to try a click or jerk in order to get the "Newcastle" off, and accordingly, at the risk of straining his vessel, he gave a strong click in a northerly direction, and got the "New- castle" off.

6. The master of the " Emu" then asked if the "New- castle" was making water, and was told a little only, but as he saw that the hands were at the pumps he kept the "Emu" by the "Newcastle" until she was abreast of Whitby. He then inquired again if any assistance was wanted, and being told that the "Newcastle" was all right, and should proceed on her voyage, he steamed the Emu" back into Whitby harbour about 7 a.m.

66

7. About 8 a.m. a gale from N.E., which continued all that day and the next, came on to blow with a high sea. If the "Newcastle" had not been got off before the gale came on she would have gone to pieces on the rocks.

8. By the services aforesaid the "Newcastle" and her cargo and the lives of those on board her were saved from total loss.

9. The "Newcastle" is a screw steamship of 211 tons register, and was bound from Newcastle to Hull with a general cargo and 19 passengers. The value of the "New- castle," her cargo and freight, including passage mouey, are as follows:-

The "Newcastle," $30,000; her cargo, $15,000; freight and passage money, $650 ;-in all, $45,650.

The Plaintiffs claim-

1. The condemnation of the Defendants [and their bail] in such an amount of salvage remuneration as to the Court may seem just, and in the costs of this action.

2. Such further and other relief as the nature of the

case may require.

her master included, whilst proceeding on a voyage from Newcastle to Hull with cargo and passengers, ran aground off Kettleness Point, on the coast of Yorkshire.

2. The tide at this time was the first quarter ebb, the weather was calm, and the sea was smooth, and the "New- castle," after grounding as aforesaid, sat upright and lay quite still, heading about E.S.E. Efforts were then made to get the "Newcastle" again afloat by working her engines, but it was found that this could not be done in the then state of the tide.

3. At about 10 p.m. of the said day a kedge, with a warp attached to it, was carried out from the LE Newcastle" by one of her own boats and dropped to seaward, and such warp was afterwards hove taut and secured on board the "Newcastle" with the view of its being hove upon when the flood tide made. Several cobles came to the "New- castle from Runswick, and the men in them offered their assistance, but their services, not being required, were declined.

(4

"

4. At about 2 a.m. of the following morning the steam tug Emu," whose owners, master, and crew

　　　　　　　　　　　are the Plaintiffs in this action, came to the "Newcastle" and offered assistance, which was also declined.

5. The flood tide was then making, and by about 2.45 a.m. the "Newcastle" had floated forward, and attempts were made to get the stern of the "Newcastle" also afloat, and the warp attached to the aforesaid kedge was attempted to be hove in, but the said warp having parted, the master of the "Newcastle" endeavoured ineffectually to make an agreement with the master of the "Emu" to assist in getting the "Newcastle" afloat, and at about 3 a.m. a rope was given to the "Emu" from the port bow of the "New- castle" and directions were given to the "Emu" to keep the head of the "Newcastle" to the eastward in the same way as it had been kept by the aforesaid kedge anchor and warp. The "Emu" then set ahead and almost immediately the said rope was broken. A coir hawser was thereupon given to the "Emu" and those on board her were directed not to put any strain on it, but to keep the "Emu" pad- dling ahead sufficiently to steady the head of the "New- castle," and to keep her head to the eastward. This the "Emu" did and continued to do until about 4.45 a.m., when the " Newcastle," by means of her own engines, was moved off from the ground, and the "Emu" was brought broad on the port bow of the "Newcastle," and the "Emu" had to stop towing and to shift the rope from her port bollard, where it was fast to her towing hook, but the "Newcastle" continuing to go ahead, the said rope had to be let go on board the "Emu" and it was then hauled in on board the "Newcastle." The "Newcastle," under her own steam, then commenced proceeding south, the wind at the time being N.N.W. and light, and the weather fine. It was afterwards ascertained that the "Newcastle making a little water in her afterhold, and her hand pumps were then worked, and they kept the "Newcastle free.

6. The "Emu" proceeded back with the "Newcastle " as far as Whitby, and the "Newcastle" then continued on her voyage and arrived in the Humber at about 2.45 p.. of the same day.

ANSWER.

In the Supreme Court of Hongkong, Admiralty Jurisdiction.

[Title of Action.]

1. The Defendants admit the statements made in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th articles of the Plaintiff's petition.

2. Whilst the "Northumbria " was upon her voyage in the said 3rd article mentioned, and before and until she put into Falmouth, as in the said 4th article mentioned, the Plaintiff was frequently under the influence of drink.

3. During the night of the 10th November, 1875, and the morning of the 11th November, 1875, whilst a violent gale was blowing and the ship was in danger, the Plaintiff was wholly drunk and was incapable of attending to his duty as master of the said ship; and in consequence of the con- dition of the Plaintiff much damage was done to the said ship, and the said ship was almost put ashore.

4. The damage in the 4th article of the Petition men- tioned was wholly or in part occasioned by the drunken condition of the Plaintiff during the said voyage from Cardiff to Falmouth.

5. The Defendants having received information of the above facts on the arrival of the said ship at Falmouth, and having made duc inquiries concerning the same, had reasonable and probable cause to and did discharge the Plaintiff from his employment as master of the said ship on the 23rd November, 1875.

6. The Plaintiff, on the 12th day of November, 1875, whilst the said ship was at Falmouth, wrongfully and improperly tore out and destroyed certain entries which had been made by the mate of the said ship in her log-book

7. The Defendants bring into Court the sum of $1,040 in respect of the Plaintiff's claim for wages and disbursements, and say that the said sum is enough to satisfy the Plaintiff's said claim in that behalf. The Defendants offered to pay the Plaintiff's costs to this time in respect of those two causes of action.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND AUGUST, 1896.

　　　　Messrs. LEUNG PUI-CHI and YUNG KUNG-PO consented to continue to serve as treasurers and were re-appointed accordingly.

Attached is a statement of the assets and liabilities of the Society and a declaration of the truth of it by Messrs. LEUNG PUI-CHI and WAI LONG-SHIAN, and two statements shewing the revenue and expenditure during the year. The balance to the credit of the fund was $28,133.40. Of this sum, $28,000 are on fixed deposit.

Messrs. TANG WING-SING and TAM LUI-T'SUNG have once more kindly audited the accounts. A return is also attached showing briefly the results of the work done during the year.

Twelve meetings of the Permanent Board were held during the year.

　　　Arrangements were entered into with the Tung Wa Hospital regarding the ground on which it was desired to erect the buildings for a Home and part of which was occupied by the Kwong Fuk Temple and by the hospital dispensary. The temple was pulled down and rebuilt on a portion of its former site and on a piece of ground purchased from the Government for a sum of $1,585.50. The dispensary has been enlarged and two storeys have been added to it to be used by the Po Leung Kuk. The thanks of the Society are due to Mr. Lo CHI-T'IN, the Chairman of the Tung Wa Hospital, and to the other Directors for their co-operation. The services of Mr. DENISON were engaged to draw up plans for the new buildings, their internal arrangements being placed more immediately under the supervision of the elected Committee, the members of which devoted a great deal of time and trouble to the work. Work was commenced on the temple in September and up to the end of the year $2,000 had been expended on it. The new buildings of the Po Leung Kuk were commenced in November, and it is hoped that it will be possible to enter into them during the current year.

At a meeting held on the 29th August it was resolved to engage a matron to be in charge of the inmates. Mrs. VICTOR was engaged on probation for one month, and at the end of that time her engagement was confirmed. She keeps her charges in good order and has given satisfaction.

　　　During the year Mr. COUGHTRIE was appointed a Visiting Justice in place of Mr. THURBURN, and when Mr. COUGHTRIE left the Colony, Captain ANDERSON was appointed in his place. Mr WEI AYUK was also appointed a Visiting Justice, and he, Mr. Ho Fook and Captain ANDERSON visited the premises of the Society at regular intervals.

　　　Before concluding, mention must be made of the Benevolent Societies at Canton, Macao, and other places without the hearty co-operation of which, it would be impossible to carry on effectively the work of the Society.

The following notices have been issued by Mr. FIGG, during the month :-

On the 5th at 11.30 a. "The barometer has risen in the Gulf of Tongking, fallen decidedly in Luzon. Pressure is now in defect, about 0.1 inch in the latter district, while it is above the normal, almost the same amount, on the SE coast of China. Probably pressure is low in the Pacific to the E of Luzon." Forecast:-"light or moderate SE and E winds; mostly fair, but showers at intervals." On the 6th at 10.40 a. "The depression in the Pacific to the East of Luzon is apparently moving Westward at present." At 11.20 a. "A further considerable decrease of pressure has taken place in Luzon and the barometer has also fallen on the China Coast and in the extreme North, the Northern stations being under the influence of a depression which seems moving Eastward across Manchuria. Pressure is now slightly above the normal in Hongkong and below it, at Shanghai nearly 0.1 inch, at Manila 0.15 inch." Forecast:- light E winds; fine.'

　　　On the 7th at 11.0 a. Red Drum hoisted. "Depression near Bashee Channel apparently moving towards NW at present." At 11.25 a. "Since yesterday the barometer has fallen quickly between Hongkong and Foochow, the decrease amounting to about 0.1 inch. In Luzon the mercury is now rising. The depression in the North has moved Eastward and lies in the NE part of the Sea of Japan." Forecast :-"light or moderate NW winds, possibly increasing; fair at first, but less settled later."

　　　On the 7th at 7.30 p. Two lanterns hoisted vertically. At 7.45 p. "The depression seems moving in a Westerly direction and likely to pass to the South of Hongkong." On the 8th at day- light, Black South Cone hoisted. At 10.40 a. "The depression to the SSW of Hongkong, in about 20° Lat., appears to be approaching the coast between Macao and Hoihow." At 11.20 a. "The barometer has risen around the Formosa Channel and in Luzon, fallen in the neighbourhood of Hongkong. The Northern depression still covers the NE part of the Sea of Japan." Forecast:-"Strong E veering to SE winds, perhaps a gale; hard rain squalls at times."

　　　　On the 8th at 4.10 p. Black Ball hoisted. On the 9th at 10.0 a. Black Ball lowered. At 11.20 a. "The barometer has risen in the neighbourhood of Hongkong, fallen at Haiphong. The depression is probably felt in the North part of the Gulf of Tongking." Forecast:-"fresh or mode- rate S winds; squally and showery."

On the 10th at 11.15 a. "The barometer has risen on the China Coast but remains rather low at Haiphong. Pressure is now slightly high at Shanghai and about normal in Hongkong and Luzon." Forecast:-"moderate S winds; mostly fair, but possibly some showers at intervals."

　　　　The conditions antecedent to the formation of the depression indicated above were as follows:- On the 29th and 30th June a depression was traversing the Gulf of Pechili and N Korea. Moving in an Easterly direction it crossed the Sea of Japan on the 1st July and passed to the Pacific on the 2nd. Pressure now increased quickly in Japan and on the 4th and 5th had become high in an area covering S Japan and the adjacent waters to the Southward. On these latter days pressure was giving way in Luzon and on the 5th the observations indicate the formation of an area of low pressure to the E of Luzon. On the same day a depression had apparently made its appearance over N China. We have the following observations on the 5th from the mean of the a.m. and p.m. barometer reading :-Tokio 29.92, Nagasaki 29.90, Sharp Peak (Foochow) 29.79, Hongkong 29.83, Bolinao 29.76. Winds on the China coast were light or moderate breezes chiefly from a S direction; off the W coast of Luzon light NW breezes prevailed and off the Cochin China coast, in about 8°, 108°, light and moderate W and SW breezes, the barometer reading 29.84.

　　　　On the 6th pressure showed a general decrease since the previous day. The Northern depression moving Eastward was probably situated in Manchuria and the Southern depression had advanced towards N Luzon. We have the following barometric observations:-Tokio 29.84, Nagasaki 29.75, Shanghai 29.70, Sharp Peak 29.73, Hongkong 29.78 and Bolinao 29.70. SW winds prevailed in Japan and on the E coast of China; light winds from S to E on the SE coast of China, and at Bolinao light W breezes chiefly which backed to S during the evening. At sea the S.S. Esmeralda had 29.71 NE 5 in 19° 06′, 116° 40'. She was steering towards Hongkong and during the evening had the barometer falling with the wind backing to N and decreasing. In about 12°, 112° the barometer read 29.78 with light and moderate SW and W winds. The depression, which was apparently of slight intensity, may have been situated in 18°, 122° at noon and it appears to have crossed Luzon on the evening of this day, moving in a WNW direction.

On the 7th the Northern depression had advanced Eastward and was situated in the N part of the Sea of Japan. Pressure had decreased rapidly at Wladivostock and in E Japan. The southern depression, now in the China Sea, had produced a considerable fall of the barometer on the S and SE coasts of China while at Bolinao pressure was increasing. The following are the barometer readings: Tokio, 29.59, Nagasaki 29.73, Shanghai 29.68, Sharp Peak 26.67, Hongkong 29.68 and Bolinao 29.74. Winds were light and moderate breezes from E and SE with clear skies between Foochow and Swatow in the neighbourhood of Hongkong light breezes chiefly from N which, however, increased to force 4 and 5 and veered to ENE during the evening; and at Bolinao light S and SE breezes with rain. Hongkong and along the SE coast of China very hot and dry weather prevailed. The centre of the depression at noon on this day was situated approximately in 19°, 117°. At sea the S.S. Catherine Apcar, at noon in 18° 39', 114° 23′ and steering SSW, crossed the track in front of the centre during the evening. At noon they had 29.72 NW 4 increasing to a strong breeze and backing to SW late the same evening accompanied by very heavy rain and high sea. Moderate SW breezes prevailed off the W coast of Luzon and in 15°, 113°.

In

On the 8th the Northern depression was still lying in the N part of the Sea of Japan and the centre of the Southern depression was passing at a distance of about 100 miles to the South and West of Hongkong. The following are the barometric observations: Tokio 29.53, Nagasaki 29.75, Shanghai 29.74, Sharp Peak 29.70, Hongkong 29.65 and Bolinao 29.85. Pressure was increasing on the E and SE coasts of China, a fall had taken place in Hongkong and in the Gulf of Tongking and a considerable rise at Bolinao. At Hongkong and Gap Rock strong ENE breezes blew in the morning veering to SE in the evening and decreasing with slowly rising barometer. The centre had passed S of the Colony during the morning and at noon it was situated in 20° 45', 113° 10′. At sea the most important observations were those made on board the S.S. Invertay in the right-hand semicircle and on the steamships Diomed and China in the left-hand semicircle. At noon the Invertay 50 miles NW by N of the centre had 29.58 and a fresh NE gale which veered to ESE and SE during the evening. The Diomed 35 miles to the SSE of the centre at noon had 29.50 and a fresh SW by S backing gale. This vessel had run southward with a strong WNW breeze during the morning to

avoid the centre. The China, which had left Hongkong for Saigon the previous evening, crossed the track in front of the centre during the morning and experienced a strong NNW backing gale. At noon she was 55 miles to the SW by S of the centre and had 29.61 and a strong WSW backing gale. Very heavy rain was experienced on board these vessels and wet weather prevailed generally at sea within 350 miles to the S and SE of the centre.

　　　The depression continuing on a WNW course entered the coast on the evening of the 8th and passed a little to the N of Pakhoi about midday on the 9th, the centre being situated approximately in 22°, 119° at noon on this day. The following observations were made at this port:-9 a. 29.58 w/s 2 o, 3 29.56 SE 8 orq. In Hongkong the barometer read 29.70 and at Bolinao 29.85.

p.

Strong SW to

　S winds and squally weather prevailed in the neighbourhood of Hainan Straits and in the China Sea to the SE of Hainan. The Haiphong observations faintly indicate the passage of the disturbance at some distance to the northward of this station on the 10th..

　　　The average speed of the disturbance between the 7th and 9th was at the rate of about 10 miles per hour. The strongest wind reported was force 10.

On the 17th at 11.20 a. "The barometer has risen much in E. Japan, fallen slightly on the China Coast and at Bolinao. Except at the latter station, pressure is generally above the normal." Forecast:-"light S and SW winds; fair."

"The At 11.30 a. In the extreme North Forecast:-"light

On the 19th at 11.30 a. "The barometer has continued to fall in Luzon and along the China Coast, the decrease during the past 24 hours being especially rapid in Luzon and on the S. and SE. coasts of China. The depression embraces a large area but only light winds are reported. Probably the central area of the depression lies to the E of Formosa." Forecast:-"light or moderate W winds; fine."

On the 20th at 11.30 a. "Since yesterday a moderate fall of the mercury has occurred on the China Coast and a considerable fall in Japan. Pressure is generally low in the area embraced by Luzon, the China Coast and Japan. Probably the central area of this large depression lies in the Pacific to the S of SW Japan." Forecast:-"moderate W and SW winds; mostly fair but less settled on the whole, possibly some showers.

""

On the 21st at 11.10 a. Barometric changes are slight, the distribution of pressure being much the same as yesterday. The area of lowest barometer appears to be still lying in the Pacific between Formosa and SW Japan." Forecast:-"light W and SW winds; fine."

L

　　　On the 22nd at 11.30 a. "A further decrease of pressure has taken place in Luzon and along the China Coast since yesterday. Apparently the central area of the depression still lies between Formosa and Japan.". Forecast:-"light or moderate W winds; mostly fair but less settled as a whole, perhaps a thunderstorm." On the 22nd at 4.10 p. "Typhoon North of Formosa approaching coast between Foochow and Shanghai."

　　On the 23rd at 10.20 a. "Typhoon centre moving northwards has just passed to the North of Shanghai." At 11.20 a. "The barometer shows a heavy fall at Shanghai and a slight fall between Foochow and Hongkong while at Bolinao there is no change. Pressure remains low generally with no marked tendency to increase in the South and it is likely that another depression may form in the N part of the China Sea. Forecast"light NW or variable winds; fair."

"

As the typhoon referred to in the foregoing notices remained far out in the Pacific during the earlier part of its existence it is only possible to indicate in a general way its most probable track until it approached the coast. Observations made on board the bark Lothair navigating the Pacific on a voyage from Callao to Hongkong show that the centre of the disturbance was probably situated in about 17°, 130° on the 18th and that it moved thence in a NW or NNW direction. On the 21st it seems to have been situated near the Loo Choo islands and apparently was unable to complete recurvature and again moved to the NW owing to high pressure spreading westward from the Pacific and advancing over E Japan and the adjacent waters to the southward. On the 22nd at noon the centre was probably situated in about 270, 1250. The following barometric observations on the 22nd show how greatly the isobars were elongated towards the SW: Yokohama 30.00, Nagasaki 29.68, Shanghai 29.58, Sharp Peak 29.43, Hongkong 29.48, Bolinao 29.60. The S.S. Wuhu encountered the centre at 11 p. on the 22nd in 29°37′, 123°46′, when the barometer registered the minimum, 28.28 (uncorrected), with the wind dead calm. Before the arrival of the centre the wind was from NE and after its passage from SW of full typhoon force and accompanied by very heavy rain with high confused sea, but in the central area the rain ceased and the sea, although confused, was without force. The disturbance moved rapidly to-

wards NW, the centre passing close to Shanghai next morning, the 23rd, near 6 a. as shown by observations made on board the S.S. Chingping at anchor near the Kintoan lightship. It was there- fore fortunate that a telegram warning Shanghai and placing the port in the dangerous semicircle, was despatched from the Hongkong Observatory at 4 p. on the 22nd, as it might have been supposed that the centre would advance in a Northerly direction between China and Japan and thus place Shanghai at a long distance from the centre and in the left-hand semicircle, where at some distance the winds are moderate. The telegram was amply substantiated as a warning and it appears that no other warning was given indicating a gale in that port. The Chingping experienced a fierce gale from NNE, the barometer falling to the minimum (28.67) at 5.30 a. on the 23rd when the wind fell almost calm and quickly backed through N and W. At 7 a. they had a decreasing gale from SSW with rising barometer. These observations show that the centre must have passed at a very short distance to the E of the vessel. At noon on this day the centre was situated near 320, 12030. At Chinking a fresh gale from NW blew at 9 a. (bar. 29.25) backing to W force 6 at 3 p. (bar. 29.26). At sea the S.S. Nanchang at noon in about 340, 123° had 29.43 with a fierce E. backing to SE gale. High pressure covered Japan on this and the following day. The disturbance moved towards about NNW and passed a little W of Howki lighthouse (38°04', 120°39′) at 3 a. on the 24th, E veering gales being experienced at Chefoo and at the Shantung Promontory lighthouses between the evening of the 23rd and morning of the 24th. As a result of the typhoon the German gunboat Iltis unfortunately went ashore on the Promontory on the evening of the 23rd and became a total wreck, two only of the ship's company being saved. At noon the centre was in the Gulf of Liaotung. The typhoon was recurving on the 24th. It appears to have passed the neighbourhood of Wladiwostock on the evening of the 25th and thence to have traversed the N part of the Sea of Japan moving probably Eastward. While this typhoon was in existence, exceptionally hot and dry weather prevailed on the S and SE coasts of China.

On the 23rd at 10.20 a.

Pressure remains low generally with no marked tendency to increase in the South and it is likely that another depression may form in the N part of the China Sea."

　　　　On the 24th at 11.15 a. "A cyclonic depression appears to exist to the South of Hongkong. Pressure has increased generally on the China Coast but is almost unchanged at Bolinao. Pressure is now nearly 0.1 inch above the normal at Shanghai and still in defect about 0.2 inch at Hongkong and Bolinao." Forecast:--" fresh NE and E winds, increasing: unsettled, some rain."

On the 24th at 4 p.

　　　　　　　　　　　　"Black South Cone hoisted. On the 25th at 11.20 a. "The depression to the South of Hongkong appears to be shallow and almost stationary at present. The barometer has risen in Luzon and fallen in the N part of the Formosa Channel, elsewhere there is little change. Pressure remains about 0.2 inch below the normal in Hongkong." Forecast:-"fresh or strong NE and E winds; squally and showery."

On the 25th at 4.15 p. "The depression to the SSW of Hongkong seems moving slowly west- ward." At 10 p. Black South Cone lowered. On the 26th at 11.20 a. "The depression has probably approached the coast in the neighbourhood of Hainan Straits. Except a fall at Haiphong and Shanghai the barometer has risen generally, particularly between Foochow and Hongkong." Forecast:-"moderate SE winds; showery and squally."

Between the 23rd and 24th July pressure increased very rapidly in the neighbourhood of Shanghai in rear of the late typhoon. The increase extended Southwards, but was moderate only on the S. coast of China, and at Bolinao slight. Thus gradients had become rather steep for NE and E winds on the China Coast to the S of Shanghai, while from the marine data we see that over the greater part of the China Sea to the Southward of 18° there was a gradient for SW winds. Thus the forma- tion of the depression may be traced to the rapid increase of pressure over China. In Hongkong moderate and fresh E and NE breezes prevailed. The area of lowest pressure 29.50, in which light variable winds prevailed accompanied by squally weather was in 19° Lat. and from 114° to 116° Long. To the W of this area moderate N breezes were experienced on board the S.S. Mongkut with very heavy rain; moderate SW breezes prevailed across the China Sea in about 17° Lat. and strong winds and gales from W and SW prevailed over the entire sea between 14° (bar. 29.60) and 9° Lat. (bar. 29.75).

　　　　　　On the 25th, the observations show that the low area had moved to the Westward. The baro- meter was almost steady, 29.53, at Hongkong; 29.53, falling slightly at Hoihow, and 29.68, rising at Bolinao. Fresh NE and E breezes blew in Hongkong, and gentle N and NE breezes at Hoihow. The centre of the depression was situated in 19°, 112° at noon. The S.S. Mongkut had passed from the W to the N quadrant and now had fresh NE and E breezes, barometer 29.49, at a distance of about 100 miles to the N by E of this position. The barometer read 29.51 and fresh W breezes pre- vailed to the SW of the centre at a distance of about 120 miles and SSW force 6, barometer 29.58, was noted on board the S.S. Congella at a distance of 150 miles to the SE by E of the centre. Strong SW monsoon prevailed to the southward of the centre between 14° and 10° Lat., the barometer reading 29.70 in 11° Lat.

The centre of the depression, which remained of slight intensity, passed very near Hoihow between 9 p. of the 25th and 9 a. of the 26th. They experienced frequent heavy rainsqualls during the night, the wind direction changing from NE on the evening of the 25th to S on the morning of the 26th with barometer at 11 a. 29.46 and thereafter rising. Nearly 10 inches of rain fell during the 48 hours ending at 9 a. on the 26th. At Pakhoi, on the 26th, moderate and fresh N and NNW breezes accom- panied by heavy rain prevailed, the barometer reading 29.50 at 9 a. and 29.43 at 3 p. so that the centre was situated between these two stations at noon on the 26th and in about 20°, 119°3. Fresh to strong breezes from SE to SW prevailed at sea between Hongkong and the SE coast of Hainan. After passing near Pakhoi the depression probably quickly filled up on the mainland.

On the 27th at 11.15 a. "The barometer has risen considerably on the S coast of China andin Fore- the Gulf of Tongking, elsewhere changes are slight. Pressure remains low in the South." cast:-"moderate or light SE winds; unsettled, wet."

　　On the 28th at 10.20 a. Red Drum hoisted. "Typhoon crossing North Luzon apparently moving towards NW." At 11.15 a. A rapid fall of the mercury has occurred at Bolinao since yesterday and the barometer has also fallen decidedly at the Formosa Channel stations. The weather seems likely to become unsettled in the latter district shortly." Forecast:--"light or moderate winds, E backing towards N; showery with fine intervals."

At 10.30 a.

　　On the 29th at 8.45 a. Black Drum hoisted. At 9.5 a. Gun fired one round. "Typhoon centre about 250 miles to the SE of Hongkong moving towards WNW. Strong NE to SE gale expected here." Black South Cone hoisted.

On the 29th at 4.10 p. "The typhoon will probably pass close to Gap Rock." At 5.45 p. Gun fired two rounds. At 10 p. the wind velocity was 108 miles per hour from East. On the 30th at daylight, Black Ball hoisted. At 11.20 a. The typhoon has entered the coast near Macao." Forecast:-"decreasing SE winds; squally and showery.'

""

"In Hongkong pressure On the 30th at 5.10 p. Black Ball lowered. On the 31st at 11.15 a. now exceeds the normal by 0.1 inch, the mercury having continued to rise rapidly during the past 24 · hours. Gradients are rather steep between Hongkong and the Gulf of Tongking, the barometer in the Forecast moderate SE winds; latter district, although rising, being still comparatively low." squally and showery.'

　　Pressure, which had not yet reached its normal height in Luzon on the 26th, again commenced to give way there on the 27th. The barometer, 29.70, at the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company's Station at Bolinao fell quickly during the evening, but light airs and calms prevailed. The S. S. Sungkiang, lying in Mariveles Bay (14° 26', 120° 30′) had light increasing W winds with falling barometer. There is no information from the Pacific, but these observations point to a depression to the E of Luzon, advancing in a W direction probably in about 1730 Lat. The following conditions prevailed in other areas in S Japan, the highest pressure of 29.8 ins. and upwards; Sharp Peak 29.75, Hongkong 29.70, with a second low pressure of about 29.6 ins. over Tongking and the Gulf. Between Foochow and S Hainan winds were light and moderate from E to SE, except strong NE breezes with falling barometer at Anping, S Formosa, while moderate SW monsoon prevailed across the China Sea in 16° Lat. increasing in strength in 10°, 110° where the barometer read about 29.70.

:

On the morning of the 28th the disturbance was crossing N Luzon, the centre being situated near 18° 30′, 121° 00′ at noon. At Bolinao, barometer 9 a. 29.55, 4 p. 29.42 (minimum), moderate to strong W breezes blew in the morning backing to SW in the afternoon, accompanied by wet weather Pressure remained highest throughout. The Sungkiang, at Mariveles, had 29.65 with SW 4 at noon. at 29.8 and upwards in S Japan. Increasing NE breezes blew at the lighthouse stations in the S part of the Formosa Channel during the evening, but between Hongkong and Hainan light E breezes prevailed. The S.S. Apenrade and the bark Lothair some 300 miles to the WNW of the centre at noon and both bound to Hongkong, had fresh increasing breezes from NE backing to N in the evening. The barometer which read 29.61 on board the Apenrade at noon, was falling, as the disturb- ance was following in her wake and overtaking her. The S.S. Memnon and the bark Casablanca Both vessels were bound to Hongkong. were about 270 miles to the WSW of the centre at noon.

They experienced only light breezes from NW to W before noon, but later the barometer fell rapidly and the wind increased to a moderate gale from NW and WNW. On board the Memnon a very heavy cloud bank was observed in the NE. As their course was taken them towards the centre it was altered, at first to WNW and afterwards to S. Between 16° and 18° Lat. and in 114° Long. light variable winds prevailed, farther South moderate to strong SW monsoon with the barometer reading 29.70 in 11°, 110°. The isobars appear to have been oval-shaped, the longer diameter lying in the direction of advance of the disturbance or approximately in an E and W direction.

On the 29th at noon the centre was situated in 20° 30', 116° 00'. .e., 150 miles to the SE of Hongkong, its course since leaving N Luzon having been towards WNW at the rather high average speed of 13 miles per hour. Pressure remained highest at about 29.8 ins. over S Japan. At Bolinao 29.68 the barometer was rising while, in Hongkong, 29.41, and to the westward it was falling fast. At the S entrance to the Formosa Channel, where NE veering gales blew in the morning, the barometer was rising after noon. At Breaker Point the barometer read 29.43 at this hour. In Hongkong at 4 p. the wind had risen to a fresh increasing gale from NE by N and after 6 p. it commenced to veer slowly attaining typhoon force at 7 p. and reaching its maximum at 10 p. (velocity 108 miles per. hour) from E by S. It then veered rather quickly and had decreased to storm force from SE by Sat midnight. The barometric minimum (28.87) occurred between 9.30 p. and 10 p. At Victoria Peak the wind direction was about two points more southerly and the wind velocity greater than at the Observatory in the proportion of about 3 to 2 up to the time when the cups of the anemometer at the Peak unfortunately blew away. This occurred at 5.50 p., the wind velocity at the time being at the rate of 110 miles per hour. If the proportion between the velocity at the Peak and at the Observatory was maintained later in the evening the velocity at the Peak at 10 p. would correspond to 170 miles per hour; but, of course, it is possible that this was not the case, and that the proportion, instead of remaining tolerably steady, decreased. If the proportion decreased to about 4 to 3 when the centre. was nearest, the maximum velocity at the Peak would be 140 miles. The damage caused to buildings at the Peak as compared to that in the City certainly suggests that a much higher velocity was reached at the upper level than at sea level. At Gap Rock the barometric minimum (28.54) was recorded at 9 p. and at the same time the wind which had been from NE, vecred to E and decreased for a short time, afterwards increasing again and attaining a S direction at 11 p. Gap Rock was thus on the northern edge of the central area at 9 p. and probably within 10 miles of the actual centre. The steepest gradients corresponded to 0.2 inch in 15 miles. At Macao the barometric minimum (28.72) was at 11 p. with a hurricane from E quickly veering to SE and SSE.

　　　　　At sea a large number of vessels were involved in the storm in the left-hand semicircle. The bark Lothair was nearest to the centre, she being situated at noon on the 29th 50 miles to the SE by E of Gap Rock. They experienced typhoon force from NNW which backed to W and S in the evening so that the centre passed between the vessel's position and Gap Rock. They had no time to make accurate observations as the vessel was thrown on her beam ends, the lee side being under water up to the batches and they had to cut away the rigging and let the masts go overboard to save her. Fierce W and SW gales were experienced, in the left-hand semicircle, at a distance of 200 miles from the centre.

On the morning of the 30th the centre was passing to the North of the I.M.C.C. Likin at anchor in Hui Ling San harbour (21°35', 111°48′). At 2.30 a. they had the barometric minimum, 29.04, with typhoon force from WSW and gradually veering to S at 10 a. Towards midday the centre was passing N of the port of Pakhoi. Strong SW veering winds with squally weather prevailed; the barometer read 29.36 at 9 a., 29.12 at 3 p. Probably the centre was situated in about 23°, 109° at noon, filling up and continuing on its course towards WNW.

On the 29th at noon the centre was situated in 20° 30', 116° 00'. .e., 150 miles to the SE of Hongkong, its course since leaving N Luzon having been towards WNW at the rather high average speed of 13 miles per hour. Pressure remained highest at about 29.8 ins. over S Japan. At Bolinao 29.68 the barometer was rising while, in Hongkong, 29.41, and to the westward it was falling fast. At the S entrance to the Formosa Channel, where NE veering gales blew in the morning, the barometer was rising after noon. At Breaker Point the barometer read 29.43 at this hour. In Hongkong at 4 p. the wind had risen to a fresh increasing gale from NE by N and after 6 p. it commenced to veer slowly attaining typhoon force at 7 p. and reaching its maximum at 10 p. (velocity 108 miles per. hour) from E by S. It then veered rather quickly and had decreased to storm force from SE by Sat midnight. The barometric minimum (28.87) occurred between 9.30 p. and 10 p. At Victoria Peak the wind direction was about two points more southerly and the wind velocity greater than at the Observatory in the proportion of about 3 to 2 up to the time when the cups of the anemometer at the Peak unfortunately blew away. This occurred at 5.50 p., the wind velocity at the time being at the rate of 110 miles per hour. If the proportion between the velocity at the Peak and at the Observatory was maintained later in the evening the velocity at the Peak at 10 p. would correspond to 170 miles per hour; but, of course, it is possible that this was not the case, and that the proportion, instead of remaining tolerably steady, decreased. If the proportion decreased to about 4 to 3 when the centre. was nearest, the maximum velocity at the Peak would be 140 miles. The damage caused to buildings at the Peak as compared to that in the City certainly suggests that a much higher velocity was reached at the upper level than at sea level. At Gap Rock the barometric minimum (28.54) was recorded at 9 p. and at the same time the wind which had been from NE, vecred to E and decreased for a short time, afterwards increasing again and attaining a S direction at 11 p. Gap Rock was thus on the northern edge of the central area at 9 p. and probably within 10 miles of the actual centre. The steepest gradients corresponded to 0.2 inch in 15 miles. At Macao the barometric minimum (28.72) was at 11 p. with a hurricane from E quickly veering to SE and SSE.

　　　　　At sea a large number of vessels were involved in the storm in the left-hand semicircle. The bark Lothair was nearest to the centre, she being situated at noon on the 29th 50 miles to the SE by E of Gap Rock. They experienced typhoon force from NNW which backed to W and S in the evening so that the centre passed between the vessel's position and Gap Rock. They had no time to make accurate observations as the vessel was thrown on her beam ends, the lee side being under water up to the batches and they had to cut away the rigging and let the masts go overboard to save her. Fierce W and SW gales were experienced, in the left-hand semicircle, at a distance of 200 miles from the centre.

On the morning of the 30th the centre was passing to the North of the I.M.C.C. Likin at anchor in Hui Ling San harbour (21°35', 111°48′). At 2.30 a. they had the barometric minimum, 29.04, with typhoon force from WSW and gradually veering to S at 10 a. Towards midday the centre was passing N of the port of Pakhoi. Strong SW veering winds with squally weather prevailed; the barometer read 29.36 at 9 a., 29.12 at 3 p. Probably the centre was situated in about 23°, 109° at noon, filling up and continuing on its course towards WNW.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH SEPTEMBER, 1896. 903

The following notices have been issued by Mr. FIGG during the month:-

　　　On the 1st at 11.0 a. "The barometer has risen between Hongkong and the Gulf of Tongking, fallen at Bolinao. Probably another depression exists in the Pacific to the East of Luzon." Fore- cast:-"moderate or light E winds; fine.'

"?

On the 2nd at 10.30 a. Red South Cone hoisted. "The typhoon seems to have passed into the China Sea and to be now situated off the SW coast of Luzon. It will probably move towards NW." At 11.15 a. The barometer has fallen considerably at Bolinao and is now about 0.2 inch below the normal.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Forecast:- In Hongkong pressure, although giving way, is still 0.1 inch in excess." "NE winds, freshening; fine at first, but less settled by to-morrow. Strong N and NE winds, " increasing, in the N part of the China Sea."

On the 3rd at 10.30 a. Black South Cone hoisted. "Typhoon about 300 miles to the SSE of Hongkong moving towards NW." At 10.45 a. "The barometer has risen at Bolinao, fallen in the neighbourhood of Hongkong. Pressure is nearly 0.1 inch below the normal at the former station and slightly in excess at Hongkong." Forecast:-"strong NE and E winds, increasing; squally and showery." At 4.30 p. The typhoon is probably moving towards WNW. Gale not expected in Hongkong."

On the 4th at 8.20 a. Black Ball hoisted. At 10.35 a. "The typhoon seems to have appro- ached the East coast of Hainan." At 11.10 a. "The barometer is rising in Hongkong and inclined to fall at Haiphong, elsewhere pressure has increased." Forecast:

Forecast:-"strong SE breezes, decreasing; squally and showery." At 8.40 p. Black Ball taken down.

　　　On the 5th at 11.10 a. "The depression has disappeared to the N of Tongking. Pressure has increased in the neighbourhood of Hongkong and decreased in the Gulf of Tongking, elsewhere changes are slight." Forecast:-" moderate or light SE winds; showery to fair."

　　　The disturbance referred to in the foregoing information appears to have been crossing the SE provinces of Luzon on August 1st, the centre probably being situated at noon near the position 13°, 123°. Winds from a N direction prevailed at the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company's station at Bolinao and at Manila, and the barometer which was normal on the previous day was falling rapidly. The highest pressure was covering the neighbourhood of Hongkong.

On the morning of the 2nd the disturbance passed at a short distance to the S. of Manila. The SS. Sungkiang at anchor in Mariveles Bay (14° 26', 120° 30') had the lowest barometer reading 29.64 at 4 a. with fresh NE quickly veering winds, accompanied by squally and showery weather. The Pressure was giving centre was probably situated in 15°, 118° at noon and moving towards WNW.

At Bolinao the barometer read 29.67 at 1 p. with SE 4; at noon in 18° to 19° Lat. and 112° to 114° Long. moderate ENE and NE breezes prevailed with baro- meter 29.83; the SS. Glenfalloch at noon in 14° 09', 113° 11' had 29.82 with WNW 4, the barometer falling and the wind increasing to NW 6, as she steered towards N by E.

On the 3rd at noon, the centre was situated in 16° 45', 114° 15'. The barometer had risen about 0.1 inch at Bolinao (29.79) since the previous day and fallen about the same amount at Hoihow (29.75). Fresh and strong NE breezes prevailed between Hongkong and Hainan, moderate NW breezes off the Annam coast and fresh SW breezes in 10°, 110° where the barometer read 29.81.

Thereafter the direction backed towards W and was of force 5. stood N 30° E and at noon the vessel was hove to with the centre bearing N at a distance of about 50 miles. A strong gale from SW and SSW, accompanied by terrific rainsqualls, was experienced during the afternoon, the force rapidly decreasing after 4 p. when the barometer rose decidedly. The lowest reading, 29.57, was at 1 p. The S.S. Brindisi about 50 miles to the WSW of the Glenfalloch at noon and steering for Hongkong, also experienced a fresh SW backing gale during the evening.

On the 4th the centre which had moved towards NW, passsed to the East of Hoihow shortly before noon, its situation at this hour being 20° 30', 110° 45'. The barometer (at noon, 29.58) had fallen 0.2 inch at this station during the past 24 hours and a moderate gale from NW backing to WSW was experienced between 9 a. and 3 p., accompanied by frequent heavy rainsqualls. Strong SSE breezes blew in the neighbourhood of Hongkong and strong SW breezes off the SE coast of Hainan. At 3 p. a fresh NNW gale prevailed at Pakhoi, the barometer having fallen to 29.55, and observations made on board the S.S. Ask, lying in the port, show that the lowest barometer reading occurred between 4 p. and 7 p. with the wind afterwards backing to WNW and to SSW next morning. The course of the depression towards NW, seems to have been maintained on the mainland.

　　　The disturbance moved across the China Sea at an average speed of about 12 miles per hour. The depression was one of high level and probably the barometric height at the centre was scarcely lower than 29.4 inches. The strongest wind reported was force 9 to 10.

At 11.10 a.,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　"The On the 6th at 10.15 a., " Depression in the Pacific to the East of Luzon." barometer is falling at Bolinao and along the SE coast of China, rising in the Gulf of Tongking.

904 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH SEPTEMBER, 1896.

Pressure is again below the average at Bolinao but, at present, it remains high on the S and SE coasts. of China, the excess amounting to nearly 0.15 inch at Ilongkong." "In the extreme North, a depres- sion appears to be advancing Eastward in the neighbourhood of Wladivostock." Forecast:-"light E or varying winds; fair."

On the 7th at 10.30 a., "Typhoon appears to have entered Luzon to the Southward of Bolinao." At 11.20 a., A further considerable decrease of pressure has taken place at Bolinao and the barometer has also fallen on the S and SE coasts of China. In the extreme North, pressure is increasing in rear of the depression near Wladivostock yesterday.' Forecast: NW or variable winds, light; fine."

""

On the 8th at 10.30 a., "Typhoon is East of and approaching the neighbourhood of Bolinao, apparently moving towards NW at present. At 11.10 a.. "Pressure has continued to give way rapidly at Bolinao and a considerable decrease has also taken place on the S and SE coasts of China. At Shanghai the barometer has risen. Pressure is now about 0.1 inch above the average at the latter station, normal in Hongkong and nearly 0.4 inch in defect at Bolinao."

"N Forecast: N winds, freshen- ing: fine at first, less settled by to-morrow. Strong N and NE winds and gales in the NE part of the China Sea; increasing NE winds in the Formosa Channel." At 1.35 p., Red Drum hoisted. At 4.30 p., "Typhoon appears to have entered China Sea to the North of Bolinao."

On the 9th at 7.15 a., Black South Cone hoisted. At 9.30 a., Gun fired one round.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　At 10.15 a., "Typhoon centre about 250 miles to the South-East of Hongkong apparently moving towards WNW. Strong NE to SE gale expected in Hongkong." At 6.30 p., "Typhoon centre appears to be situated about 100 miles to the SSW of Gap Rock, moving WNW." At 8.10 P., Black Ball hoisted.

On the 10th at 10.30 a.. Black Ball lowered. "The typhoon has entered the NE part of the Gulf of Tongking." At 11.0 a., "The barometer has fallen considerably at Haiphong, risen quickly at Bolinao and Hongkong. High pressure covers Japan." Forecast:-"SE winds, decreasing; squally and showery.'

""

On the 11th at 11.20 a., "The recent typhoon passed near Haiphong last night. Pressure has Pro- continued to increase in the neighbourhood of Hongkong but is giving way again at Bolinao. bably a trough of slightly low pressure lies across the E part of the China Sea and into the Pacific in about 18° to 20° Lat." Forecast :-"light or moderate E winds; fair."

There is no information at present from the Pacific area having reference to the above typhoon, but the disturbance would appear to have been approaching Luzon from the East on the 6th and 7th moving W or WNW in from 15° to 16° Lat. On the 8th it passed a few miles to the N of Bolinao, at noon when the centre may be placed in 17°, 120°. High pressure of 30.0 inches was on this day lying off the southern shores of Japan.

On the 9th the centre was situated in 1940, 1150.

Her

Pressure had given way to the extent of 0.15 inch during the past 24 hours in Hongkong and increased 0.2 inch at Bolinao. In Hongkong a hard gale from NE veering to SE was experienced, the highest hourly wind velocity, 66 miles from ENE, occurring at 5 p. with the baro- metric minimum, 29.52, at 5.30 p. At sea several vessels encountered the bad weather. The bark Salterod which was close to the centre, but whose position is doubtful, had typhoon force from NW to SW between 1 p. and 4 p. with the lowest barometer reading, 28.94, (uncorrected) at 3 p. position is given as 18°50', 115°16' at 4 p. Some damage was sustained, but oil was used with good effect. The steamships Orestes, Flintshire, Kutsang, Aglaia and Tritos, and the bark Northbrook, in the left-hand semicircle at distances varying between 75 and 150 miles from the centre, all experienced fierce or strong NW backing to SW gales during this day. In the right-hand semicircle the bark Stanfield, about 50 miles to the SSE of St. John's Island (S point 21°32′, 112°46′), encountered typhoon force from NE veering to E on the evening of the 9th, the lowest barometer reading, 29.04, occurring at 9 p. The centre may be placed in 20°30′, 113°00′ at this hour.

　　　　On the morning of the 10th the disturbance passed to the N of Hoihow. At 3 a. the barometer read 29.41 with heavy gusts of wind from WSW, the wind subsequently backing to SW and S. The course of the depression which had been towards WNW on the previous day had become a Westerly one, the speed also diminished in the Gulf of Tongking. From Pakhoi we have the following obser- vations-9 a. 29.29 N 8 to 10 c, 3 p. 29.43 ESE 7 to 9 orq-which show the passage of the typhoon to the S of the port. The centre may be placed in 21°, 109° at noon. The S.S. Triumph, lying at Pakhoi, reports a fierce gale from ENE at noon, the direction veering very slowly. The Chinese reve- nue cruiser Kaipan sheltered at Paklung (21°30', 108°10'), experienced a fresh to strong NNW veering to E gale with the barometric minimum, 29.46, at 4 p. and wind ENE force 9. The same evening the centre passed near Haiphong and neighbouring districts, considerable damage to property resulting.

We have no information from the Pacific area regarding the above depression, but generally the observations indicate that it was formed in about 15°, 128 on the 11th and moved at first slowly towards WNW and NW subsequently completing recurvature on the 15th in perhaps 23, 127, and thence moving towards NNE with increasing speed. At noon on the 16th it was probably central near the Loo Choo islands, and on the 17th had arrived near the position 2940, 130. On the 18th it was probably situated in 34°, 133° at noon and passing to the W of Kobe. The steamships Ancona and Taiyuan at anchor in the port had the lowest barometer, 29.26, at this hour with a fresh to strong gale from S veering to SW. On 19th it passed almost over Wladivostock near 7 a. when the baro- meter read 29.01 and the wind, which had previously been from North, was a moderate gale from SE.

The usual white-washing and cleansing have been executed at the schools.

3. As repeatedly pointed out by the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon, the Western and Saiyingpoon Markets are inadequate to meet the requirements of the district, and their structural condition is such that I cannot recommend any other course than that of reconstruction and extension.

The following notices have been issued by Mr. FIGG during the month :-

On the 1st at 10.40 a. "A depression appears to be forming to the SSE of Hongkong in about 20° Lat. The barometer has fallen generally and is now in defect to the extent of about 0.1 Forecast: "moderate or fresh NE inch in Hongkong and to about half that amount at Bolinao." Forecast: winds; showery.' At 4.10 p.

"Depression, probably shallow, South of Hongkong in about 20° Lat." Black South Cone hoisted.

On the 2nd at 8.0 a.

At 11.10. Black South Cone lowered.

"The depression has entered the coast between Macao and Hainan Straits. The barometer is steady in the South, rising in the neigh- Forecast:-"fresh to moderate SE and S winds; bourhood of Hongkong and falling on the E coast." Forecast: showery and squally with fine intervals."

On August 30th, after a period during which pressure had been rather below the normal owing to a typhoon distant in the Pacific, the barometer commenced to rise on the China coast with the wind backing towards E. Light variable and SW breezes prevailed in the China Sea in 19° Lat. and Pressure varied from 29.89 in 10°, 110° to moderate SW monsoon to the Southward of 16" Lat.

29.83 at Bolinao and 29.76 in Hongkong.

972

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH OCTOBER, 1896.

On the 31st pressure was still increasing on the China coast to the Northward of Swatow, the increase being most marked at Shanghai, 29.83. In Hongkong, 29.75 and at Bolinao, 29.82, the barometer was inclined to fall. Light to moderate winds chiefly from an E direction prevailed between Foochow and Hongkong; variable airs and calms in the China Sea in about 20° Lat., and light to fresh SW monsoon to the Southward of 18° Lat. In 123, 109° the barometer read 29.80 and in 6o, 107°, 29.92. There was thus on the 31st a gradient for E winds on the S coast of China and a gradient for SW winds over the greater part of the China Sea, the area of variable winds lying in from 19° to 21° Lat.

　　　Between the 31st August and 1st September a general decrease of pressure occurred on the China coast, the decrease being most marked in the neighbourhood of Hongkong, where on the latter date the barometer read 29.66 at noon. A fall had also occurred at Bolinao, 29.79, and off the Annam coast in 12, 109° where the reading was 29.75. In Hongkong moderate to fresh ENE breezes, veer- ing to ESE in the evening, prevailed accompanied by rainsqualls, the barometer commencing to rise late at night. At about 75 miles distance to the SSW of Hongkong two vessels experienced very heavy rain with variable squally winds. Along the Annam coast fresh SW monsoon prevailed. The observations indicate that at noon on the 1st, a shallow and probably elongated depression was lying off the coast to the Southward of Hongkong the central area of which was characterized by variable winds and squally and wet weather, and that a small cyclonic depression, which subsequently moved towards WNW, was formed in this area in the course of day.

On the morning of the 2nd the wind veered to SE and S of force 4 to 6 at Hongkong the baro- meter (noon 29.72) continuing to rise. The steamships Ask and Hongkong approaching Hainan Straits from the E during the morning, experienced, the former moderate to fresh SW and W breezes with rainsqualls, and the latter moderate to fresh NW breezes with rain. In 20o, 110o, the barometer read 29.61. Moderate to fresh SW monsoon prevailed in the China Sea to the Southward of 19° Lat., the barometer reading 29.82 in 9°, 109°. It thus appears that the small depression was lying between Hongkong and Hainan Head on the early morning of this day and at noon it was probably central in 21, 1114 The Pakhoi observations faintly indicate its passage to the northward of that station. Next day the barometer had risen along the S coast of China with light to moderate winds from SE and S.

On the 5th at 4.15 p. Luzon."

"There appears to be a depression in the Pacific to the East of North

(6

　　　On the 6th at 11.20 a. "The depression apparently remains in the Pacific. The barometer has risen in the North and on the SE coast, fallen moderately at Bolinao.' Forecast:---

light NW and varying winds; changeable, some showers."

　　　On the 7th at 11.15 a. "Barometric changes are somewhat irregular; on the whole a slight fall has occurred on the China Coast and at Bolinao. The depression probably remains in the Pacific. Pressure is about 0.1 inch in defect in the S part of the Formosa Channel and in Luzon." Forecast: -"moderate N and NE winds; unsettled, showery."

On the 8th at 11.20 a. "The depression appears to be lying in the neighbourhood of the Loo Choo Islands with a trough of slightly low pressure extending from the Bashee Channel to the Paracels. Except a fall in Japan, barometric changes are unimportant." Forecast:- "moderate NE winds; unsettled, some rain.'

　　　On the 9th at 11.20 a. "Pressure is almost unchanged on the China Coast and in Luzon and, in the absence of the Japanese observations, conditions appear to remain as yesterday." Forecast :- "moderate NE winds; fine."

　　　On the 10th at 11.15 a. "Yesterday afternoon the depression appears to have been lying to the South of Kiusiu, Japan. No reports from thence this morning. The barometer is almost steady else- where, except a slight fall at Shanghai where pressure is now about 0.1 inch below the normal. Pressure also remains in defect at Bolinao and, apparently, across the middle part of the China Sea." Forecast light NE winds; fine."

66

　　　On the 11th at 11.15 a. "The centre of the depression, which is moving slowly northwards, is situated close to the SE coast of Kiusiu, Japan. The barometer has fallen in the North, risen in the Formosa Channel and at Bolinao. A trough of slightly low pressure, between NE and SW winds, exists across the China Sea in about 17° Lat." Forecast light to moderate NE winds; fine."

　　　On the 12th at 11.15 a. "The depression appears to have moved into the Sea of Japan. The barometer has fallen rapidly in the extreme North, risen moderately at Shanghai and is almost unchanged elsewhere.'

The information received, at present, from the Pacific area is too scanty to permit of the track of the above depression being laid down with accuracy. It apparently remained to the Eastward of 130" Long, until the 7th, when it had probably approached the neighbourhood of the Southern Loo Choo Islands. Thence it appears to have slowly recurved, passing off the SE coast of Kiusiu on the morning of the 11th and near Kobe late the same evening, moving towards NNE into the Sea of Japan.

On the 12th at 11.15 a. "A depression seems to be forming in the trough of low pressure which exists across the China Sea in about 17° Lat. Forecast :

Forecast:-" moderate or fresh NE winds; fair."

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH OCTOBER, 1896.

973

　　On the 13th at 10.15 a. "Depression about 250 miles to the South of Hongkong." At 11.20 a. "The barometer has risen in the North, but on the S coast of China and at Bolinao there is no change." Forecast:-"fresh or strong NE and E winds; squally and showery.

　　On the 14th at 11.10 a. "The depression appears to be moving slowly westward. The baro- meter has risen generally except at Haiphong, and pressure is now normal on the China Coast and at Bolinao." Forecast:-"fresh E winds; at first squally with some rain, then improving."

On the 15th at 11.15 a. "The depression is probably situated to the SE of Hainan and moving slowly towards WNW. Changes of pressure are slight, except a considerable increase in the extreine North." Forecast:-"fresh E winds; generally fair, but squally."

On the 16th at 11.15 a. "The depression appears to be still lying to the SE of Hainan with probably a very slow motion towards WNW. No important changes of pressure have occurred since yesterday." Forecast:-"fresh E to SE winds; showery and squally."

On the 17th at 11.15 a. "The depression seems to be proceeding slowly towards the S part of the Gulf of Tongking. The barometer has risen slightly on the China Coast, fallen a little at Haiphong." Forecast:-" fresh or moderate E winds; showery and squally."

SUPPLEMENT

TO THE

Hongkong Government Gazette

No. 38 of 19th September, 1896.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE OBSERVATORY FOR 1895.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY,

21st April, 1896.

　　　SIR, I have the honour to submit my annual report for 1895 to His Excellency the Governor. My eleventh volume of observations and researches was published last summer and the twelvth volume is now being printed. It contains investigations of the typhoons in 1890, 1891, 1893 and 1895, which I have conducted in co-operation with Mr. FIGG. Thus all the typhoons that have been observed since this Observatory was started in 1884 have now been investigated, and we are at present busy with a revision of the laws of storms on the basis of these investigations. This will probably be finished in a year, and the results can be utilised for weather-forecasts and storm-warnings in 1897 and following years.

2. The thanks of the Government are due to the Telegraph Companies for continuing to forward the meteorological telegrams free of charge. If paid for at the rate charged for messages with precedence urgency the cost per annum would be very great. Most important telegrams are also forwarded by the Chinese Telegraph Administration with precedence urgency and free of cost, but they are very often received too late.

3. The thanks of the Government are due to the Inspector-General of the Imperial-Maritime Customs of China for ordering meteorological observations to be made at the Treaty Ports and transmitted to this Observatory, and it is to be hoped that it may be found possible to greatly extend the number of ports from which such information is telegraphed. There exists no meteorological service in China and the information that can be collected at present is insufficient. For the issue of weather-forecasts and storm-warnings it is necessary that the China Sea should be surrounded by telegraphic reporting stations worked by trained observers supplied with accurate instruments, and reports from the north of China and from stations inland in China such as the treaty ports along the Yangtzekiang are equally necessary.

4. During the past year the staffs of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company at Bolinao (Luzon) and at Sharp Peak (near Foochow), made observations at all times during the day and telegraphed them direct to Hongkong, and this frequently enabled Mr. FIGG to indicate the subsequent movements of typhoons with much greater accuracy than could have been effected without that information, in the absence of which in fact many typhoons could not have been announced at all.

5. Telegraphic connection with Victoria was interrupted on the 12th February, 1895, from 10.35 a. to 11.40 a.; from the 13th February at 7 a. to the 14th February at 4.30 p; on the 19th February from 7.40 a. to 12.30 p.; on the 16th March from 3.36 p. to 3.59 p.; on the 23rd April from 6.25 a. to 1.54 p.; on the 30th April from 12.52 p. to 2.4 p.; on the 1st June from 3.25 p. to 4.48 p.; on the 13th June from 10.50 a. to 1.45 p.; on the 20th June from 6.43 a. to 7 a.; on the 28th June from noon to 2.25 p.; from the 29th June at 4.33 p. to the 30th June at 9.40 a.; on the 27th July from 11.13 a. to 11.25 a.; on the 28th July from 11 a. to 11.55 a. and from 4.24 p. to 4.38 p.; on the 31st October from 1.54 3 p.; on the 3rd December from 10.49 a. to 11.20 a. Interruptions occurred therefore on 17 days, and, of course, also during thunder-storms. Telephone connection with the Peak was interrupted on the 10th January from 11 a. to 1 p.; on the 17th January from 3 p. to 8 p.; on the 31st January from 1 p. to 3 p. and from 6 p to 8 p.; on the 11th February from 6 p. to 8 p.; on the 26th February from 4p. to 8 p.; on the 2nd March from 7 a. to 3 p.; on the 11th March from 3 p. to 8. p.; on the 15th March from 7 a. to 8 p.; on the 17th March from 3 p. to 8 p.; on the 20th March from 3 P. to p.; on the 21st March from 3 p. to 8 p.; on the 29th March from 3 p. to 8 p.; on the 1st April from 7 a. to 3 p.; on the 22nd April from 11 a. to 4 p.; on the 30th April from 4 p. to 8 p.; on the 4th May from 4 p. to 8 p.; on the 9th May from 4 p. to 8 p.; on the 22nd May from 4 p. to 8 p.: on the 27th May from 4 p. to 8 p.; on the 4th June from 4 p. to 8 p.; on the 8th June from 4 8 p.; on the 1st November from 7 p. to 8 p.; i.e., on the 22 days as well as during thunder-storms.

6. The China Coast Meteorological Register was printed daily at the Observatory, and information regarding storms was telegraphed to and exhibited on notice boards in Hongkong and elsewhere as often and as fully as such information could be justified by the weather telegrams received. This happened on 45 days in 1895. The Red Drum was hoisted 5 times, the Black Drum 3 times, the

8

p.

to

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

Black South Cone 5 times, the Black Ball 1 time, Two Lanterns vertically 3 times, and horizontally 1 time. The Gun was fired one round once in 1895. Printed expresses were circulated twice.

　　　　7. During 1895, in addition to meteorological registers kept at about 30 stations on shore, 1,977 ship-logs have been received, 1,708 were forwarded by Captains, and 269 were copied on board ship in the harbour. The ship-logs collected in 1895 were thus distributed--for 1893, 1 log; for 1894, 59 logs; for 1895, 1,917 logs. The total number of ships, whose log-books have been made use of, was 296.

The total number of days' observations was 16,835. These data are collected, reduced, tabulated and made available for the study of typhoons and other meteorological features by Miss DOBERCK.

8. The entry of observations made at sea in degree squares for the area between 9° south and 45° north latitude, and between the longitude of Singapore and 180° East of Greenwich for the construction of trustworthy pilot charts has been continued, and 94,322 observations in all have now been entered.

As stated in the "Instructions for making Meteorological Observations etc.," meteorological instruments forwarded by observers who regularly send their registers to the Observatory are verified here free of cost. During the past year 4 barometers, 2 aneroids and 76 thermometers were verified. In addition several hundred barometers and aneroids on board ship were compared with our standard.

11. Mr. PLUMMER observed 514 transits in 1895, and levelled the axis of the transit instrument 181 times. The rates of the standard clocks are exhibited in the following tables. They are com- pared with the rates calculated from formula exhibited at the head of the tables. The rate and are of the standard mean time clock last spring indicated that it was again rusty, and it was cleaned in the beginning of May. Table V. shows the errors of the time-ball in 1895. The probable error was in January 009, in February 0 19, in March 03 21, in April 0 12, in May 0 13, in June 0 12, in July 009, in August 011, in September 0 13, in October 0 13, in November 0 12, and in December 0 11. The errors depend apparently upon the mean amount of clouds, but really upon the periods of cloudy weather when no transits can be obtained. The time-ball is not hoisted on Government holidays. It was not hoisted on the 5th February, as the reversing galvanometer was under repair, on the 29th May, as the lock was under repair, a broken spring being replaced, on the 19th of June, when Mr. Ho TO-SHANG, Second Assistant, forgot the key of the tower, on the 28th July owing to a strong gale, on the 14th September, when the line was interrupted, the Public Works Department making alterations, and on the 2nd and 24th November when there was no discharge current, the fault lying with the battery. On 7 days the ball was therefore not hoisted. hoisted but failed to drop 5 times. On the 3rd and 28th May the failure was due to the reversing galvanometer being out of adjustment. On the 31st May the piston failed to rest on the tooth of the lock. On the 1st of June the hammer spring was not pulled tight enough. On the 1st of September

the cause of failure is not known.

　　12. There fell only half the normal amount of rain during 1895. The excessive drought had no influence on either pressure or temperature. The relative humidity was only two per cent. less than usual. The number of hours with bright sunshine was 149 in excess. The duration of rain was 158

hours less than usual and the intensity of rain was only six-tenths of the average. The wind was normal and the cloudiness very slightly below the mean but the level of the clouds was higher than usual. During the month of August the wind is generally very light and in consequence the daily variation in, direction is great, but in 1895 the direction backed throughout the 24 hours. It probably backed most quickly about 7 a. or 8 a.

13. Slight shocks of earthquake were noticed on the 30th August at 5.45 p. and other shocks occurred during the following night.

　　14. The cisterns of the barograph and standard barometers are placed 109-feet above M.S.L. The bulbs of the thermometers are rotated 108 feet above M.S.L., and 4 feet above the grass. The solar radiation thermometer is placed at the same height. The rim of the rain-gauge is 105 feet above M.S.L., and 21 inches above the ground.

15. The monthly Weather Reports are arranged as follows:

Table I. exhibits the hourly readings of the barometer reduced to freezing point of water, but not to sea level, as measured (at two minutes to the hour named) from the barograms.

　　Tables II. and III. exhibit the temperature of the air and of evaporation as determined by aid of rotating thermometers. Table II. exhibits also the extreme temperatures reduced to rotating thermometer. Table III. exhibits also the solar radiation (black bulb in vacuo) maximum tempera- tures reduced to Kew arbitrary standard.

　　Table IV. exhibits the mean relative humidity in percentage of saturation and mean tension of water vapour present in the air in inches of mercury, for every hour of the day and for every day of the month, calculated by aid of Blanford's tables from the data in Tables II. and III.

　　Table V. exhibits the duration of sunshine expressed in hours, from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour (true time) named.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896..

VII

Table VI. exhibits the amount of rain (or dew) in inches registered from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. It exhibits also the estimated duration of rain.

Table VII. exhibits the velocity of the wind in miles and its direction in points (1-32). The velocity is measured from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named, but the direction is read off at the hour.

Table VIII. exhibits the amount (0-10), name (Howard's classification) and direction whence coming of the clouds. Where the names of upper and lower clouds are given, but only one direction this refers to the lower clouds. With regard to the names of clouds nimbus (nim) is only entered when the rain is seen to fall; when no rain is seen to fall cumulo-nimbus (cum-nim) is entered, and this name is also used to indicate clouds intermediate between cumulus and nimbus. Cumulo-stratus (cum-str) is the well known thunder cloud, and strato-cumulus (str-cum) signifies a cloud inter- mediate between stratus and cumulus.

Table IX. exhibits for every hour in the day the mean velocity of the wind reduced to 4 as well as 2 directions, according to strictly accurate formula, and also the mean direction of the wind.

Below this is printed a list of the phenomena observed.

16. The following annual Weather Report for 1893 is arranged as follows:-

Table VI. exhibits the mean values for the year (or hourly excess above this) obtained from the There fell at least 0.01 inch of rain on monthly reports. The total duration of rain was 600 hours.

124 days.

Table VII. exhibits the number of hours during a portion of which at least 0.005 inch of rain. (or dew) was registered.

Table VIII. exhibits the number of days with wind from eight different points of the compass. The figures are obtained from the mean daily directions in Table VII. of the mouthly reports. Days, with wind from a point equi-distant from two directions given, are counted half to one of these and half to the other, e.g., half of the days when the wind' was NNE are counted as N, and the other half as NE.

?

　　　Table IX. exhibits the number of days on which certain meteorological phenomena were registered, and also the total number of thunderstorms noted in the neighbourhood during the past year.

Table X. shows the frequency of clouds of different classes.

Table XI. is arranged as last year.

Table XII. exhibits the monthly and annual extremes. The extremes of humidity and vapour tension are only approximate as the hourly values are not calculated.

Table XIII. contains five-day means..

Table XIV., XV., XVI. contain magnetic observations.

　　　17. Observations of magnetic declination and horizontal force were made by Mr. PLUMMER and reduced by Mr. FIGG with the unifilar magnetometer Elliott Brothers, No. 55, and the dips were observed with dip-circle, Dover No. 71.

　　　The methods adopted in making the observations and in determining and applying the corrections are explained in Appendix G. of Observations and Researches made in 1885: "On the verification of the unifilar magnetometer Elliot Brothers No. 55." The value of log #2 K was 3.44930 at 26°. The value of P was +7.69. The mean value of the magnetic moment of the vibrating needle was 0.45175 in English units and 589.80 in C.G.S. units.

　　　　The times of vibration exhibited in the table are each derived from 12 observations of the time occupied by the magnet in making 100 vibrations, corrections having been applied for rate of chrono- meter and arc of vibration.

　　　The observations of horizontal force are expressed in C.G.S. units (one centimeter, one gramme, one second), but the monthly synopsis exhibits X, the horizontal, as well as Y, the vertical, and total forces, which have been computed by aid of the observed dips, and their values are also given in English units (one foot, one grain, one second) and in Gauss's units (one millimeter, one milligram, one second).

THE TYPHOONS IN 1895,

By W. DOBERCK and F. G. FIGG.

JANUARY.

XIII

The

The first typhoon in 1895 crossed Yap (lat. 9° 30', and long. 138° 16') and Palaos in January, the centre moving from east to west. For several days before the 20th the air was clear, the NE monsoon was blowing moderately and the sea was smooth. The barometer stood somewhere at about 29.8. Very slight flashes of lightning were usually noticed at night. The following account has been. fur- nished by Captain O'KEEFE and Herr PAUL HAGEN. They did not notice any signs of bad weather but state that a common sailor expected a typhoon for several days before the wind burst, for which On the morning of the people laughed at him. On Saturday, the 19th, the barometer began to fall 20th the wind blew from NW in squalls at first light but afterwards with violent typhoon force. sky was cloudy but not a drop of rain fell. After 6 p. the wind calmed down. The calm lasted till 10 p. The barometer (about 29.2) continued falling slowly. The sky was densely overcast, but no rain fell. Then the wind rose again from NE veering to SE. The barometer reached its minimum (about 29.1) near 1 a. From 1 a. to 3 a. it blew a fearful typhoon from SE with some rain. But there fell very little in this typhoon. Most of the houses were unroofed or blown to pieces. People were blown over except when four or five men clutched each other tightly. The sea rose ten feet above its spring height and carried away the warehouses. Cocoanut and mighty trees which had been uprooted by the NW typhoon were lifted up and thrown over in the opposite direction by the The barometer continued rising for a week. SE typhoon. After 3 a. the wind began to moderate. The wind backed to NE.

At

On the 11th at 10.30 a. "A depression appears to be situated off the SW coast of Luzon."

　　　Forecast:-" barometer steady: fresh or strong NE breezes: fair." On the 12th at 11.10 a. "Depression still lies off the SW coast of Luzon." Forecast:-" baro- meter falling: moderate NE or N winds: fine."

On the 13th at 10.50 a. "The depression continues to lie over Luzon and neighbourhood." At 11.10 a.

Forecast:-"barometer falling: moderate N or NE winds: fine."

On the 14th at 10.45 a. "The depression over Luzon appears to be passing slowly away to the Eastward." At 11.10 a. Forecast:- barometer steady: moderate NE winds: fine."

On the 11th and 12th a shallow depression (II) lay off the SW coast of Luzon in about 14° to 15° latitude.

On these two days pressure was about 0.2 inch below the normal at Bolinao and Manila and wet weather prevailed at both places, winds being light chiefly from an E and SE direction. The S.S. Yuensang experienced strong NE breezes at noon on the 11th in 17° 44,' 117° 37′ and on the 12th in 15° 03′, 119° 58′ at noon, the barometer (29.66) having fallen 0.15 inch since the previous day, a moderate SE gale, veering to SW as the vessel proceeded southwards, was encountered accompanied by rainsqualls and a cross sea. Off the Annam coast (barometer about 29.82) and to the S of Hongkong (barometer 29.90) winds were chiefly light or moderate NE breezes on this day.

At 4 p. on the Between the 12th and 13th a further decrease of pressure took place in Luzon. latter date the following observations were telegraphed :-Bolinao, 29.59 NW 2 o; Manila 29.61 SSW 4 og; but on the 14th the barometer had risen about 0.1 inch at both places gentle NW breezes prevailing at Bolinao and moderate SW breezes at Manila.

In the absence of complete observations the depression would appear to have moved slowly towards NE between the 12th and 14th. On the 15th it may have been in 22°, 126°; on the 16th in 25°, 128'; and on the 17th in 30°, 132°. The bark Belmont in about 25°, 1324° had SE 10 and a fast falling barometer at midnight on the 16th, veering to SSW 9 on the morning of the 17th.

　　On the 10th at 10.50 a. "There are some indications of the existence of a depression to the SW of Luzon." Forecast:-"barometer falling: fresh or strong NE breezes: fair to showery."

　　　The depression (III) indicated above was probably formed to the NW of Palawan between the 8th and 9th of June. This is not clearly established as information is wanting from that part of the China Sea. Calms and light variable breezes had prevailed across the China Sea between the parallels of 10° and 20° on the two or three days previous to the 8th. On this day, however, owing to a considerable increase of pressure over China, NE and E winds, moderate or light in force, became general over the Northern and Western part of the above area. Pressure in Luzon was slightly in defect, while at Hongkong it was about 0.1 inch, and at Shanghai about 0.2 inch, above the normal.

On the 9th the relative conditions as to pressure were almost unchanged. At Shanghai the barometer read 29.96, at Hongkong 29.91, at Bolinao 29.81 and off the Cochin-China coast 29.83. In the latter district moderate breezes from NNW to NNE prevailed; in the China Sea to the N of 15° latitude winds were moderate breezes from NE and E, while at Bolinao a light SE breeze prevailed. On this day there was therefore a tendency for winds to become cyclonic about that part of the China Sea to the NW of Palawan, or perhaps around the position 12°, 1171?2.

On the 10th the existence of a cyclonic depression is clearly shown by the observations made at sea, and the centre was situated in 14° 00', 114° 00' at noon on this day.

　　　The schooner Queen City, in the right-hand semicircle, and situated in 14° 43′, 116° 16′ at noon, experienced a strong ESE veering to SE gale during this day, the barometric minimum, 29.59, occurring at 8 a. The steamships Shanghai, Kutsang, Glenartney and Shantung were all situated at noon in the area comprised by latitute 14° 11', 14° 47' and longitude 112° 12', 112° 36'. They were thus directly in front of the advancing typhoon which at the time was moving towards WNW. On board the Shanghai, which was steering S 30° W, a heavy cloud bank was noticed in the E and SE during the early morning and this gradually overspread the sky. At 9 a. a sharp thunderstorm was experienced with strong wind from NNE. The barometer then commenced to fall rather rapidly, but they continued on their course and rau across the path in front of the centre during the afternoon, a fresh gale backing from N to WNW being encountered, the minimum barometer reading, 29.49 occurring at 6 p. The Kutsang, steering about NNE for Hongkong, had a strong breeze from N by W at noon with the barometer, 29.64, falling fast. They rightly turned the vessel round at this time and steered S 15° W experiencing a fresh NW backing to WSW gale which decreased after 10 p. The barometric minimum, 29.43, occurred at 6 p. The Glenartney, also bound for Hongkong, had similar weather to the Kutsang at noon, but they were a little later in turning the vessel round and had much worse weather than the Kutsang. The barometer fell to 29.36 at 6 p. and a whole gale and storm from NW backing to S was experienced. The Shantung was hove to at noon in 14° 26, 112° 36. The barometer, 29.59, was falling fast at the time and a moderate NW by N gale was blowing. The barometer continued to fall and the wind, which was slowly backing, increased quickly in force. Between 7 p. and 10 p. typhoon force of wind was experienced from WSW backing to S, the barometric minimum, 28 97, occurring at 7.30 p. at which hour the centre passed a little to the N of the vessel.

The steps taken to avoid the typhoon in the case of these four vessels furnish particularly interesting examples for comparison. It is seen that the Shanghai came out in safety by crossing the track in front of the centre, thus passing from the dangerous to the manageable semicircle. The Kutsang, Glenartney and Shantung were all steering for Hongkong, and within a few miles of each other at noon. The Kutsang then turned round in time and ran to the southward. The Glenartney executed the same man?uvre but a little too late and had much worse weather than the Kutsang, while the Shantung was hove to near the track in front of the centre and in consequence experienced the full force of the typhoon.

--

　　　On the 11th at noon the centre was situated in 16° 30′, 110° 15'. The vessels chiefly concerned on this day were the steamships Erato and Norden and the Chinese Customs' Cruiser Likin. The Erato, hove to, had an increasing NNE gale with rapidly falling barometer during the early morning and at 8 a., the vessel being situated in 15° 54', 110° 23', they had storm force of wind from NNW. Between this hour and noon the wind backed steadily to SSW, typhoon force of wind being experienced from 9 a. to 11 a. The mercury descended to 29.01 at 9 a. at which hour the centre was passing to the NE and N of, and very close to, the vessel. The Norden hove to in the left-hand semicircle, and situated in 17° 43′, 108° 19′, had an increasing N gale at noon. The centre passed a little to the E of the vessel at 7 p. at which hour the barometric minimum, 29.11, occurred, with the wind of storm force from NNW. The wind backed to SW at 9 p. and decreased rapidly in force. The Likin at anchor in Yulinkan harbour (18° 12′, 109° 33′) was in the right-hand semicircle. The barometer fall to 29.43 at 8 p and a whole gale from ENE veering to SE, with squalls of typhoon force, was experienced during the afternoon and evening.

　　　The path of the typhoon inclined more and more towards N between midnight of the 10th and the same hour of the 11th and on the 12th, in the Gulf of Tongking, it was moving towards NNW. At noon on this day the centre was situated in 20° 00', 107° 40′ and about 8 p. it entered the coast to the E of Haiphong where a strong NNW backing gale was experienced during the evening.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

On the 25th a depression with slight or moderate gradients seems to have been central over the Formosa Channel and SE coast of China. On the 26th the barometer had risen generally around the Channel, the lowest pressure lying near its northern entrance. On the 27th the weather at Nagasaki appears to have been influenced by a depression to the southward.

On the 28th at 4.25 p. "A depression appears to be situated to the WNW of Bolinao." On the 29th at 10.45 a. "The depression seems to be increasing in intensity but it apparently occupies much the same position as yesterday.' Black South Cone hoisted. At 11.0 a. meter falling: moderate NE and E breezes, probably increasing: squally and showery.

Forecast:-"baro- On the 30th at 11.15 a. "The shallow depression to the S of Hongkong appears to be moving slowly towards NW." At 11.20 a. Forecast:-" Barometer unsteady: moderate or fresh E to SE winds: squally and showery."

　　On the 1st July at 9.35 a. Black South Cone lowered. At 11.0 a. "the depression seems to be approaching the neighbourhood of Hainan Straits." Forecast:-'barometer rising: moderate SE to S winds: squally and showery to fair."

　　Between the 26th and 28th a considerable increase of pressure took place over S China and gradients became favourable for NE winds which, in fact, spread to the southward into the N part of the China Sea between the 27th and 28th. This appears to have resulted in the formation of an elongated depression across the China Sea and N Luzon into the Pacific in about 18° Lat. on the 28th.

　　On the 29th a circular but shallow depression (IV.) was probably central in 18°, 115° at noon. The bark Fooling Suey, which was situated in 17° 12', 113° 55' at noon, experienced fresh NW breezes in the morning backing to SW and S at night, and accompanied by rainsqualls throughout. The barometer fell to 29.48 at 8 p. when the centre passed to the N of the vessel. The S.S. Devawongse was situated in 18° 34', 111° 45' and steering for Hongkong. Very threatening squally weather was experienced with the wind at NW. At Hongkong (bar. 29.70) a moderate ENE breeze prevailed with wet squally weather.

　　On the 30th at noon the centre was situated in about 19°, 113°. The Foohng Suey had a fresh S breeze with rain (bar. 29.52) in 18° 42′, 114° 10′, the S.S. Hongkong a fresh NE breeze with rainsqualls (bar. 29.56) in 20° 34′, 111° 24', while several vessels situated a little to the south of Hongkong had strong E breezes with rainsqualls.

　　On July 1st the centre of the shallow depression seems to have passed over, or very near Hoihow about 4 p.

The S.S. Frejr, nearing Hoihow from the Eastward, had the barometer falling with fresh E breezes backing to N at noon. At 4 p. she had come to anchor in Hoihow and the lowest barometer reading, 29.45, was then registered, the wind being variable and squally. Later the barometer rose rapidly and a moderate SW breeze sprang up. The direction backed to SSE and increased to a strong breeze during the night.

　　On July 2nd the depression appears to have passed to the E and N of Haiphong where the barometer fell to 29.52 and NW breezes accompanied by rain prevailed.

At noon on the 29th another circular depression (V) formed in the same trough to the E of N Luzon, was in about 20°, 1244°?. It is seldom that two cyclones form in the same trough, but these were very small. At noon on the 30th it was in about 234°, 1244°, on the 1st July in 26°, 127° and on the 2nd in 30°, 130°. The S.S. Arroyo in 25°, 127° was in this typhoon on the 30th. broken up on the 2nd.

On the 25th July a trough-like slight depression was formed across the China Sea between 17° and 19° Lat. as a result of a considerable increase of pressure which had taken place over S China between the 24th and 25th. Between the 26th and 27th a cyclonic depression (VII) which was perhaps central in 18°, 118° at noon on the latter day, may have been formed in the eastern part of the trough; but in the absence of observation from S. Formosa or from vessels in the adjacent waters this is uncertain.

The information for the 27th shows that a rather rapid decrease of pressure was in progress on the SE coast of China, winds there being light chiefly from a S direction, and the weather fine, hot and dry. At Bolinao the barometer was rising and moderate SW and S winds prevailed accompanied by wet weather. At 3 p. on this day we have the following observations :--Amoy 29.64, SSE 3, b: Swatow 29.65, SSW 1, c: Hongkong 29 67, W 1, c: Bolinao 29.73, S 2, or. The only vessel reporting bad weather on this day was the ship Paramita which experienced a strong W gale in 16° 9', 116° 24'. Unfortunately barometric observations were not recorded.

The bark Geo. F. Manson began to feel the effects of the advancing typhoon at midnight of the 27th. The vessel was situated in 18° 57', 114° 18' at this hour when the wind suddenly sprang up and blew with the force of a strong breeze from NNW. The barometer read 29.60 (uncorrected) and the mercury was falling fast. The vessel was steering on a N course, bound for Hongkong, with the wind gradually backing towards W and increasing steadily in force. When they discovered that the vessel was in the left-hand semicircle they decided to run the vessel as nearly as possible to course so as to lose no time; but considering that the barometer continued to fall rapidly with the wind increasing in force, this manoeuvre was a dangerous one and they barely escaped running into the centre, for at p. on the 28th, the vessel being in 20° 16′, 114° 14', the barometer had fallen to its minimum, 29.10, (uncorrected) and the wind was of storm force from W by S. The ship Alcedo was situated a few miles to the E and S of Hongkong when at 2 a. on the 28th the barometer, 29.71, began to fall rapidly and at the same time the wind, which had been light and variable, suddenly freshened form ENE. The weather was squally and threatening and lightning was observed in the E and SW. The vessel was on the port tack heading SE by E, in the right-hand semicircle, but as they had no sea-room this could not be avoided. Sail was taken in as required and at noon in 21° 48', 114° 38' she was lying to under a storm trysail, heading S and making 7 points leeway, the wind being a fierce gale from ESE and the barometer standing at 29.22. Between 1 p. and 2 p. the barometer was at its lowest point, 29.20, with the wind at SE by E, and the vessel was drifting dead before the wind at about 2! knots per hour. After 3 p. the wind commenced to decrease in force with rising barometer.

　　　　At midnight on the 27th the centre may have been in about 20°, 116° and at noon on the 28th it was situated midway between these two vessels and in 21° 00', 114° 30'. At 3 p. it passed about 40 miles to the South of Gap Rock, the barometric minimum, 29.24, occurring there at this hour with the wind a strong NE veering gale. At Hongkong the lowest barometer reading, 29.45, was recorded near 3 p. and the highest hourly wind velocity, registered by the anemograph, was 53 miles at 2 p. and 3 p. the direction being NE by E.

Of other vessels the steamships Tai Cheong, Derawongse and the Austrian frigate Aurora were all situated in the left-hand front quadrant on the morning of the 28th. The Tai Cheong was situated in 19° 59′, 113° 50′ at noon. At 7 a. they had the wind increasing from NW with falling barometer. and they suspected that a typhoon was situated to the NE of the vessel. At 9 a. they therefore rightly ran to the southward. At noon they had a strong W backing gale, but at 3 p. they steered N again as the barometer had commenced rising with the wind steadily backing towards S. The Devawongse was situated in 19° 30′, 112° 16′ at noon and steering N 31° E. The barometer, 29.61, was falling and the wind a fresh breeze from NW. At 2.50 p. the vessel was very properly turned round and steered S 22° E, the barometer having fallen to 29.54 with the wind a moderate NW gale. They had the wind backing to SW, a fresh breeze, during the afternoon with the barometer rising slowly after 5 p. They steered N 17° E at 10 p. but as the wind increased to a moderate gale accompanied by fierce squalls from S and SW and the barometer had a falling tendency, they again turned the ship's head to the southward and waited till the barometer rose decidedly. The Austrian frigate Aurora was situated in 19° 8', 113° 38′ at 11 a. During the morning hours moderate to strong NW and W breezes were experienced accompanied by constant rain. The wind backed slowly towards SW and the barometer fell to its minimum, 29.53, at 3 p. at which hour the wind was from WSW of the force of a fresh breeze. At 3.15 p. a distinct band of peculiarly disturbed sea was observed to be approaching the vessel from ENE. It stretched from NNW to SSE and was between 300 and 400 yards in width. It passed the ship in a few minutes, at the rate of about 6 miles per hour, moving towards WSW. It passed the ship in a few minutes, at the rate of about 6 miles per hour, moving towards WSW. The sea was pyramidal in this area, the tops frequently bursting and throwing up the spray to a height of about 6 feet with a sound as though the vessel was lying in violently boiling water. Before the passing of this band of broken water a rough cross sea prevailed, but after its passage the sea calmed down considerably.

　　　　At this time the centre was passing at a distance of about 100 miles to the N of the vessel, the barometer on board showing the minimum at 3 p. with the wind thereafter backing rather quickly towards S, so that although the trough phenomena often observed in the depressions of more northern latitudes are not always well marked in typhoons, there is every reason to suppose that this phenomenon was connected with the passage of the trough in this case.

Between the 28th and 29th the disturbance moved towards W by N at the rate of about 9 miles per hour and it entered the coast in the neighbourhood of Hui-Ling-San (21° 35, 111° 50′) on the morning of the latter day. At noon on the 29th it was probably situated in 21°, 110° and during the evening of this day it passed a little to the N of Pakhoi where a NW gale, in the morning, backing to SW, in the evening, was experienced. At the Custom House the lowest barometer reading, 29.26,

was made at 11 p., but on board the S.S. Activ at anchor in the port the minimum, 29.41, was registered near 5 p. The weather continued bad between Hongkong and Swatow and to the southward on this day. Gradients remained rather steep and strong breezes to fresh gales, chiefly from SSE, accompanied by hard rain squalls prevailed over this area. At 11 a. on the 29th the Austrian frigate Aurora, on the starboard tack in 21°, 113° 45′ heading N3 W with the wind S by E (force 6 to 7), experienced a sudden squall with the wind veering to SW (force 9), which took the vessel aback, but she was so skilfully handled that no damage was caused. Vessels in the left-hand semicircle are liable to encounter such veering squalls. In the right-hand semi-circle the squalls usually veer in the proper direction. The ship Alcedo, just outside Hongkong, continued to have a moderate SE gale with heavy rain squalls on the morning of the 29th and at 9 a. as the weather seemed to look worse again and they were unable to get off the lee shore, they decided to turn back and go into the port again.

　　　On the 30th at noon the centre was perhaps in 230, 107° and it apparently filled up slowly as the weather at Pakhoi and Haiphong continued to be influenced by it until the 31st.

The above depression (X) seems to have been forming in about 18° to 20° Lat. and 117° to 118° Long. between the 28th and 30th. During this interval pressure was about 0.1 inch below the normal at Hongkong and along the SE coast of China, moderate to fresh NE to N breezes, accom- panied by squally weather, prevailing in these districts. The barometer was also low, to the extent of about 0.1 inch and upwards, at Bolinao and Manila where light to moderate S and SW breezes prevailed.

p.

On the 30th the depression commenced to move towards WNW and W. The S.S. Sungkiang in 19° 54′, 116° 07′ at 4 p. on this day and steering for Hongkong experienced a strong NW backing breeze during the evening. At midnight the barometer had fallen to its lowest point, 29.57, with the wind at SW, a moderate breeze. The bark Matterhorn was at noon situated in 21° 27′, 114° 23′ when the wind began to increase from NW. At 6 p. they had a strong gale which veered to NE at 8 At 10 p. the wind fell calm, but a little later it sprang up from SE but quickly moderated to a fresh breeze at midnight. Barometer readings were not recorded. The centre was situated in 21° 00', 114° 15′ at midnight of the 30th and it passed to the South of Gap Rock near 4 a. of the 31st. A strong breeze veering from NNE at 1 a. to ESE at 7 a. was experienced at this station with the lowest recorded barometer reading, 29.54, at 4. a. The S.S. Devawongse was in the left-hand semi-circle.

This vessel had been steered N 33° E from her noon position (19° 20', 112° 03') on the 30th, but at 2.30 a. on the 31st her commander found it advisable to put her head to the Southward, as the barometer had begun to fall sharply and the wind had increased to a strong NW breeze accompanied by torrential rain. The wind direction quickly backed towards W as they steered southward, but it increased to a moderate and fresh gale at 5 a. from W by S, accompanied by incessant rain and lightning. The lowest barometer reading, 29.50, was made at 4 a. and at 6.30 a. they steered N 21° E. At 7 a. in 20° 48', 113° 15', the barometer had risen to 29.58 with the wind at SW by W decreasing and continuing to back as they proceeded northwards. The bark Wm. le Lacheur situated in about 21°, 113°, also experienced a strong N backing to W gale between 3 a. and 7 a of the 31st. the wind suddenly decreasing to a fresh breeze at 8 a. and backing to SW at 10 a.

minimum, 29.48, occurred at 6 a.

The barometric

These observations together with those made at Gap Rock show that the area comprised by strong winds was exceedingly small,

At noon on the 31st the centre was situated in 21° 15′, 112o 30'. The S.S. Frejr, in 20o 30', 111° 19' at noon had a fresh NNE breeze with squally weather. The wind direction was backing, and between 3 p. and 4 p., the vessel being situated in 20° 38', 111° 50' at the latter hour, a strong W gale was experienced, the barometer falling to 29.64. The wind continued to back as they steered towards NE, and at S p. it had come to ESE of force 3, the barometer having risen, in the meantime, to 29.69. The S.S. Hongkong had taken shelter in St. John's harbour during the morning and they there experienced strong NE winds, the barometer reading 29.62 at 4 p. At this hour the centre was passing between the anchorage and the position of the Frejr. Moving towards about W by N, it must have entered the coast a few hours later.

　　　　In this depression strong gales were not experienced at a greater distance than 30 miles from the centre and then only in the front or W semi-circle. In rear the winds were particularly light and did not exceed a strong breeze at the same distance. Moreover in rear the wind quickly re-gained a NE direction off the S Coast of China as pressure remained low over the N part of the China Sea.

　　　　After the passage, to the S of Hongkong, of the small depression of August 31st pressure increased slightly on the SE coast of China, but in Luzon, where the barometer remained yet about 0.15 inch below the normal, a further slight decrease of pressure had set in on September 1st. It appears from the observations made on board vessels that a band of low pressure was also lying across the China Sea in an ENE and WSW direction This elongated depression apparently extended from the Annam Coast across Central Luzon to the Pacific, and it is probable that a cyclonic depression was forming on September 1st in the Pacific part of the above mentioned area of low barometer, perhaps around the position 18°, 127°.

The following were the conditions prevailing on this day. On the SE coast of China the barometer stood at about 29.71 moderate to light NE breezes prevailing between Foochow and Hainan; in the middle part of the China Sea between 12° and 17° Lat. the barometer read about 29.64 light variable airs prevailing; off the Cochin China coast in 9° to 10° Lat. (barometer 29.73) moderate and fresh W and SW breezes prevailed accompanied by showery weather; at Bolinao light variable breezes were blowing, (barometer 29.64) and at Manila (barometer 29.67) light to moderate S and WSW breezes were accompanied by rainsqualls. The bark Japan situated in the Pacific in 15° 09', 136° 00' experienced moderate S winds with wet squally weather, the barometer being steady at 29.74.

　　　The Typhoon (XI) may possibly have been situated in 1940, 125° at noon on the 2nd moving towards the NW. A further slight decrease of pressure had taken place at Bolinao (29.60) and Manila (29.65), winds being light and gentle breezes from SE at the former and from S at the latter station. The barometer had risen slightly near Foochow (Sharp Peak 29.76) and was steady at Hongkong (29.71), but the NE winds had freshened on this part of the China Coast. From observations made on board the S.S. Ask lying at Anping (S Formosa) it is seen that the disturbance was advancing

towards S Formosa from the SE. The barometer on board this vessel showed a decisive fall on this day from 29.74 at 8 a. to 29.56 at 4 p. At the same time the wind, which had been light and variable during the morning, freshened somewhat from NW in the afternoon.

Next day, the 3rd, at noon, the barometer having fallen to 29.36 with the wind a fresh breeze from N accompanied by rain, the Ask left Anping to take shelter at the Pescadores. The centre was probably situated in 214, 123° at this time. Since the previous day pressure had given way to the extent of about 0.1 inch at Sharp Peak (29.66) and Amoy (29.60). The fall was less marked at Hongkong (29.66) while at Bolinao (29.61) and Manila (29.67) the barometer had commenced to rise slowly. Pressure was highest, 29.9 to 30.0 inches, over Japan and in the extreme SW part of the China Sea. Winds were strong breezes from E to ESE off the SW coast of Japan; strong breezes to fresh NNE gales off the E Coast of China and in the N part of the Formosa Channel; noderate breezes from N and NNW off the S Coast of China and strong breezes from SW at Manila. The S.S. Ask experienced a strong N by E gale on the passage from Anping to Ponghou harbour (Pescadores) during the evening of this day, the barometer remaining, however, practically steady Since noon.

On the 4th the centre was probably situated off the E Coast of Formosa and in 23°30′, 122°30′ at noon. The greatest decrease of pressure since the previous day was shown at Sharp Peak (29.50), the fall amounting to 0.16 inch in the 24 hours. The barometer had now commenced to fall at Shanghai (29.78) and in SW Japan (Nagasaki 29.85). At Hongkong (29.60) the barometer was steady and inclined to rise while in Luzon (Bolinao 29.65) a decided rise had taken place. Winds were strong NNE breezes at Sharp Peak, moderate breezes from NNW between Amoy and Hongkong and strong SW breezes in Manila. A very high temperature with low humidity and almost clear skies prevailed on the coast between Amoy and Hongkong. The S.S. Ask in Ponghou harbour (Pescadores) had a strong N gale with rainsqualls (bar. at 1 p. 29.32) during the greater part of the day. The barometer which had been practically steady the whole day began to rise late in the evening, the wind at the same time moderating. At 10 p. it backed to W and fell light.

　　　Between the 4th and 5th great damage ashore and afloat was caused by the typhoon at Tamsui and Keelung. The centre passed a little to the E of the latter port early on the morning of the 5th.

　　　　On the 5th at noon the centre was situated in 26°15', 122°30′ and it was now commencing to recurve towards the NE. Its speed during the previous

　　　　　　　　　　　　　Its speed during the previous 24 hours had been at the rate of about 7 miles per hour. The disturbance was now of great dimensions and determined the wind circulation from W Japan in the NE part of the system to the Cochin China Coast in the SW. The isobars which were oval shaped were very much elongated towards the SW. Winds were in accordance. The worst weather was felt over a considerable area in the N semicircle where the isobars lay closer together, the gradients being therefore correspondingly steep. The following are the observations nade at a few coast stations on the 5th:- .

The S. S. Chiyuen which had put into Namquan harbour (27° 09′, 120° 26′) experienced there a strong NNW gale with the barometer, 29.31 at noon, almost steady until the evening when it rose, the wind at the same time backing to NW and decreasing. The S. S. Esang at anchor in Bullock harbour (27° 47', 121° 16') in a sheltered position, experienced a moderate and fresh NE backing to N gale accompanied by heavy rainsqualls during the morning and in the afternoon moderate to strong NNW and NW breezes with overcast sky. Later in the evening the wind increased to a strong gale from NW and NW by W. The barometer was at its lowest point, 29.25, near 2 p. The centre seems to have been recurving at a distance of about 150 miles to E of the above vessels. The S. S. Mount Lebanon was situated at noon in 28° 58′, 126° 46′ or at a distance of about 250 miles to the ENE of the centre at that time. At 4 p. the barometer read 29.49 and a heavy ESE gale was blow- ing accompanied by a high cross sea. They steered towards NW keeping the wind on the starboard quarter but at 8 p. she was making such fearful weather in the heavy confused sea which was running that they were obliged to put her on the port tack, heading SSW, that being the only position in which she would obey the helm. Subsequently on the 6th the centre passed a little South of this vessel between 4 p. and 6 p. The following is the account given by her commander :---

"September 6th, 8 a.m. Barometer 29.10 falling rapidly; wind still ESE with furious squalle and terrific sea; got ship off the wind again and heading NNW but could only make way slowly on account of the propeller being most of the time out of the water altogether.

September 7th 2 a.m. barometer 29.56, wind moderating but sea still very high."

These observations place the centre, which was now moving towards ENE, about 50 miles to the WSW of the above vessel, or in 29°1?2, 125°1?2, at noon on the 6th thus giving the disturbance a speed of about 11 miles per hour during the previous 24 hours. The Mount Lebanon had made some few miles progress in a NNW and NW direction by 4 p., so that the centre passed just to the S of her position at this hour.

The barometer was falling fast at Nagasaki (29.50) and SE gales were blowing off the coast of Kiushiu. At the mouth of the Yangtze N gales prevailed but the barometer (Gutzlaff 29.49) had there commenced to rise.

　　　The S. S. Verona experienced the typhoon in about 30° 30', 128° on the morning of the 7th. Winds of storm force backing from E to NE were experienced between 1 a. and 5 a but at the latter hour, the barometer being at its minimum, 28.47, the wind decreased to a moderate gale for a short time. As the barometer rose the wind increased again and at 8 a. they had typhoon force from NW which, however, commenced to moderate very slowly after 10 a. The S. S. Asloun also experienced a hurricane from NNW, a distance of about 60 miles to the NNW of the Verona. They recorded the lowest barometer reading, 29.22, at 8 a. The S. S. Bellona, in the right-hand semicircle and situated in 30° 16', 131° 12' experienced a fierce SSE gale at noon.

The centre was situated in 31° 00′, 129° 30′ at noon on the 7th thus giving it a speed of about

9 miles per hour during the previous 24 hours, and it must have entered SW Kiushiu shortly after- wards. The S. S. Mascotte lying in Nagasaki harbour experienced strong breezes veering gradually from E in the morning to N at night, the barometer falling to its lowest point (29.22) at 8 p.

After entering SW Japan the disturbance seems to have filled up to a considerable extent, and at the same time it moved NE with greatly increased velocity towards the Sea of Japan. The S. S. Ancona lying at Kobe experienced a moderate SSW gale at 8 a. on the 8th (barometer 29.38) which, however, quickly moderated, the direction veering to WSW with rapidly rising barometer.

At noon on the 8th it was in about 40°, 135°.

On the 10th at 10.20 a. "A depression appears to be situated to the SE of Luzon." At 11.15 a. Forecast: "barometer falling: fresh NE winds: fair.'

"}

　　　On the 10th at 4.15 p. "Depression in S Luzon moving towards WNW." On the 11th at 11.0 a. Forecast: "barometer falling: fresh NE winds: fair.'

On the 10th a sudden fall of the barometer amounting to about 0.1 inch occurred at Bolinao and Manila with moderate N and NE winds; but it appears that a trough-like depression had been formed across the China Sea in about 13° to 15° latitude, owing to pressure increasing quickly over China on the two previous days and the consequent rapid spread of NE winds to the Southward in the China Sea.

On the 11th strong NE breezes and moderate gales prevailed over the N part of the China Sea and as far South as 14° latitude on its Western side, while fresh SW winds prevailed on the Cochin China coast in about 10° latitude. The weather was showery and squally over the whole of this area.

The typhoon (XII) which advanced towards the Formosa Channel on the 18th was preceded on the 15th by a depression which moved to the Eastward over N China. In rear of this depression pressure rose rapidly in the neighbourhood of Shanghai until on the 18th (30.11) it stood at about

0.2 inch above the normal. Pressure had also increased on the SE and S Coasts (Sharp Peak 29.91, Hongkong 29.85) but conditions as to pressure were almost normal in these districts on the morning of the 18th. In Luzon the barometer (Bolinao 29.73) had been slightly low for the past few days. Strong NE monsoon prevailed at this time on the East Coast of China and at the N entrance to the Formosa Channel while in the China Sea to the S of Hongkong it was moderate. In the SW part of the China Sea in about 6°, 107° the barometer read 29.90, winds being moderate and fresh breezes from W and SW.

-

　　　　The afternoon observations made at the Coast Stations on the 18th showed a slight fall of the mercury in Luzon, winds being light breezes from W at Bolinao and from SW at Manila; but a more marked decrease had occurred at Amoy where the wind was a moderate breeze from NE. From observations made on board H. M. S.'s Pique and Peacock and the S.S. Thales and also from those made and kindly forwarded by Mr. A. W. BAIN, of Anping, we know that a typhoon was rapidly advancing towards S Formosa from the SE on the morning of the 18th, the probable position of the centre at noon on this day being 21, 122° or about 70 miles to the ESE of S. Cape. Information from the Pacific area is wanting with the exception of observations inade on board the Russian S: S. Saratow near S Formosa, but the observations rather point to this disturbance having been rather quickly formed in a region of slightly low pressure lying to the E of the Bashee Channel, the chief agency in its formation probably being the rapid increase of pressure to the Northward and the consequent advance of strong NE inonsoon to the Southward. The S. S. Saratow at 8 p. in 23° 20′,

121° 50' had 29.26 E 11.

--

The observations made by Mr. BAIN at Anping show that the barometer began to fall rather quickly after 9 a. on the 18th, the wind being moderate from N but increasing to a strong breeze at noon. After 8 p. the barometer fell very rapidly and a heavy N gale was then blowing which increased to typhoon force from N to NE at 10 p. The barometer attained its lowest point, 29.29, at 1 a. of the 19th. Between 2 a. and 3 a. the wind shifted gradually to SE. Very little rain fell. Consider able damage to houses and godowns resulted. From observations made at Takow and kindly for warded by Mr. BAIN it is seen that the centre passed over that port at 0.30 a. on the 19th, The barometer fell from 29.94 at 8 a. on the 18th to 29.30 at midnight, the wind being from NNW and N till the evening, when it veered to NE. The mercury descended to its lowest point, 28.90, at 0.30 a. on the 19th, i e., it fell no less than 0.4 inch in half an hour, at the same time the wind veered to SSE. The barometer readings made at Takow are uncorrected, but are believed to require a negative correction of between 0.1 and 0.2 inch.

　　　　H. M. S.'s Pique and Peacock and the S. S. Thales got up steam on the morning of the 8th and left the open roadstead of Anping for shelter at about 2 p., but they were too late and all encountered the storm. The S. S. Thales made but little progress against the N gale and at 7 p. she was hove to on the starboard tack in the right-hand semicircle. Winds of storm and typhoon force from N by E were experienced between 9 p. of the 18th and 2.30 a. of the 19th. At the latter hour the baro- meter showed the minimum, 28.98, and shortly afterwards the wind veered to E, but at 4 a. it had decreased to a fresh gale from S. The centre passed at a distance of about 10 miles only to the SSW of the vessel at 3 a. Her position at this hour is given as 23° 9', 119° 36'. H. M. S. Peacock after steering towards WNW was hove to at 6 p. At 10.30 p., the barometer, 29.48, was falling rapidly with the wind at N of storm force. The vessel was then run to the SW. At 1 a. the barometric minimum, 29.34, occurred, but it remained almost steady until after 4 a. The wind, in the left-hand semicircle, backed to WNW at 2 a. and continued to blow with storm force from this direction until after 4 a. when it backed to WSW.

The centre, which was situated in 23° 00′, 119° 35′ at 3 a. passed about 25 miles to the NE of the vessel at this hour. It was therefore situated between the position of the Thales and that of the Peacock, but nearer to the former than to the latter. Both vessels sustained considera ble damage.

　　　　H. M. S. Pique ran to SW by S at 6 p. on the 18th, but nevertheless experienced a fierce gale with squalls of typhoon force from N on the evening of the 18th but backing to WNW and WSW next morning.

the

　　　　The disturbance was moving towards W by N on the morning of the 19th and at noon the position of the centre is fixed by the observations made on board the steamships Victoria and Monmouthshire. The Victoria encountered the centre at noon in 23° 22′, 117° 54′. The wind which had been blowing a fierce gale (direction not stated but presu:nably from NW) fell calm at noon, sky, however, remained overcast and threatening and there was a high topping sea. The barometer read 29.14 uncorrected. At 1.30 p. the wind suddenly freshened and blew a strong gale from S with terrific squalls. The S. S. Monmouthshire passed the Lamocks bound North at 3 a. The wind was light from NW and W and rain commenced falling. A large number of birds flew on board making a most horrible noise. At 6 a. the barometer read 29.68, the wind was of force 6 and the sea very confused. Half an hour later they ran into a heavy NE gale with mountainous sea and torrents of rain. At 8 a. it was blowing a hurricane from NE which continued until after noon when the barometer was at its lowest point, 29.02. Overhead there was some clearing of the clouds at this time. At I p. the wind veered to ESE with fast rising barometer, and at 2 p. the wind had decreased to a fresh gale from SE. At the latter hour a fierce gale from NW was blowing at Swatow and one hour later the

wind fell suddenly calm which lasted 15 minutes. The barometer was then at its lowest point and read 29.33. The wind came again from S and blew hard for a short time, but at 4 p.. the barometer having risen to 29.57, the wind had decreased to a strong S breeze. The centre therefore passed over or just to the N of Swatow just after 3 p., but it must at once have commenced to fill up on entering the coast even if it had not done so to some extent, while crossing the channel.

T

　　　Several vessels, the steamships Tailee, Fushun, Lyderhorn and Jacob Christensen, also the ship Celeste Burrill, experienced winds of typhoon force from NE in the northern part of the Formosa Channel on the morning of the 19th. The S. S. Chunshan, approaching Swatow from the S at noon, encountered a fierce WNW gale. She turned back and ran to the Southward and then had much better weather.

　　　On the evening of the 19th the wind at Swatow backed from S to SE while at Hongkong the direction remained from N to NW. At Victoria Peak a strong N breeze prevailed. The barometer was rising. At Canton a moderate N breeze was blowing and the barometer had fallen since the morning. At sea to the S of Swatow moderate S breezes prevailed.

Next morning, the 20th, a complete change of wind direction had occurred at Victoria Peak, Hongkong, where a moderate to fresh SE breeze now blew in place of the strong N breezes of the previous evening. The direction of the lower clouds as observed at Hongkong Observatory had also changed from N to SE. Light airs from NW to W and SE prevailed there, and at Gap Rock light breezes from N and NNW. At Canton gentle breezes from N and NE prevailed. The barometer was rising, but slowly, at Hongkong. The Swatow observations indicate that the disturbance, which had no doubt filled considerably, was pursuing a W or WSW course on the evening of the 19th, and the observations at Hongkong and neighbouring stations indicate that the remains of the late typhoon was drifting over this locality on the morning of the 20th as a diffused depression. It would appear that it passed out to sea spreading towards the S and probably increased slightly in intensity, as during the evening of the 20th and morning of the 21st the barometer fell slightly in Hongkong and a moderate E gale was experienced.

On the 21st the Hoihow observations furnish a trace of the depression. At this station

very heavy rain fell throughout the day with gentle and light breezes veering from N in the morning to SE at night. The barometer fell very slightly. The steamships Invertay and Glengyle experienced strong NE gales with a slight fall in the barometer on the evening of the 21st to the S of Hongkong

in about 19° latitude.

On the 28th at 10.30 a. Black South Cone lowered.

On the 22nd a trough was found to be formed lying through about 17o, 110° and through the Balingtang Channel. The past typhoon probably gave rise to the western portion of this trough as it disappeared therein, and the next typhoon (XIII) seems to have had its origin in the eastern part of this trough..

On the 23rd pressure decreased about 0.05 inch in Luzon and on the SE coast of China; Sharp Peak had 29.81, Amoy 29.77, Hongkong 29.81 and Bolinao 29.72. Winds were moderate from E to NE between Hongkong and Foochow and light from W at Bolinao and Manila. The S.S. Ask at Anping (S Formosa) had moderate to strong N breezes with fine weather, but the barometer had commenced to fall. The depression may have been central at noon in 19° to 20° and 125o.

　　　　On the 24th a further fall of the mercury had occurred on the SE coast of China and in Luzon amounting to about 0.05 inch in the former district but slightly less in the latter. Sharp Peak now had 29.75, Amoy 29.72, Hongkong 29.77 and Bolinao 29.70. Moderate breezes prevailed from WNW at Bolinao, from SW at Manila and from N to NE on the SE coast of China. Captain HYGOM of the S.S. Ask lying at Anping suspected a typhoon to the SE and he left the roadstead at daylight to get shelter at the Pescadores. The wind had increased to a strong breeze from N by E with the barometer

falling. At noon in Ponghou harbour it was blowing a fresh N gale which increased to a hard gale from the same direction in the evening but as yet the barometer was almost steady. The centre of the typhoon was perhaps situated in about 21°, 123° moving towards WNW.

On the morning of the 25th from observations made at Anping by Mr. A. W. BAIN we see that the centre of the disturbance had approached the coast of S Formosa. At Anping the barometer fell. from 29.61 at 8 a. to 29.37 at 4 p., the wind being from N until 3 p. and blowing with almost typhoon force between 1 p. and 3 p. At 4 p. the direction veered to NE and the force began to decrease with rising barometer. Between 7 p. and midnight a calm prevailed, but at the latter hour the wind came again suddenly from SE blowing fairly strong with the barometer rising rapidly. The centre was probably situated in 22°, 121o at noon, i.e., on the E Coast of S Formosa. In crossing the island it, no doubt, filled up considerably and the Anping observations indicate that the central area which passed near this station had scarcely cleared the island until midnight. The S.S. Ask was lying in Makung harbour (Pescadores) and a hurricane was experienced from N between noon and 9 p. when

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　9p. the force slightly decreased, the direction veering a little. The barometer was at its lowest point at p. and it then rose slowly. At midnight they had NNE wind of force 10 and the barometer.com- menced to rise quickly. At 5 a. on the 26th the direction had veered to SE, a moderate breeze. The centre therefore passed to the S of Makung near 2 a. on the 26th and it seemed to have already commenced to move in a WSW direction under the influence of the strong NNE winds blowing down the Formosa Channel.

At Swatow the wind backed again to ENE and decreased to force 5 during the evening which indicates, together with observations made on board ship and at Hongkong, that the centre was moving towards SW while the depression was filling up and winds becoming light.

At noon on the 27th there was a trace of the depression in about 20°, 115°. It then changed into an elongated trough-like depression lying from about 15°, 112° and through the Bashee Channel or thereabouts.

　　　From October 26th to 29th pressure was decreasing generally on the China Coast from Hongkong to Shanghai and also in Luzon. On the latter date it was in defect to the extent of from 0.1 to 0.2 inch at Hongkong (29.89) and at Shanghai (29.97), and the monsoon had become moderate and light along the coast and in the N part of the China Sea. At Manila (29.75) and Bolinao pressure was also about 0.1 inch below the normal and the winds at these two stations, which had been light from a N to E direction on the previous days, now became SE. At Cape St. James a light SW breeze 1 revailed.

The great decrease of pressure over N China, which appears to have been due to a depression lying over Manchuria on the 28th, caused the monsoon to become light on the China Coast from Shanghai southwards and also over the N part of the China Sea. The circumstances thus became favourable to the advance northwards of the S current and we know that on the 28th, light SW breezes had taken the place of the light NE winds which had previously prevailed at Cape St. James on the Cochin China Coast, while still farther south, in about 5°, 107°, strong S and SW breezes prevailed on this day. It therefore seems probable that a trough-like slight depression in which variable winds and calms prevailed was formed in a belt lying across the China Sea and Philippine Archipelago in from 10° to 12o lat. and that on the 29th this depression (XIV) had possibly become cyclonic to the SW of Luzon owing to the further advance northwards of S winds along the W Philippines.

we have the following barometer readings Shanghai 30.05, Hongkong 29.90, Hoihow 29.91, Bolinao 29.73, Manila 29.76. Winds were light breezes from ESE and SE at the two latter stations while at sea in 20°, 115", (bar. 29.90) moderate N and NE winds prevailed. The S.S. Shantung in 17 18', 118° 44′, had 29.74, NE 4 with clouded sky. At Cape St. James light and gentle SW breezes were blowing, the weather being squally with thunderstorms. The low pressure seems to have been central in perhaps 14, 118° and moving towards NW.

On the 31st we have: Hongkong 29.92 ENE 3 od, Hoihow 29.91 NE 3 c, Bolinao 29.79 SSE 3 c, Manila 29.80 var. 2 c, Cape St. James SW 3 c. The barometer had risen at Bolinao and Manila but was practically steady at the other stations. The centre of the depression may have been situated in about 16, 116° at noon. The S. S. Shantung. to the northward of this position and in 20° 00', 118° The barometer, 03', experienced a moderate NE by E gale with light rain and high confused sea, which read 29.73 at noon, was rising. To the westward of the centre the S. S. Namyong in 14° 48', 110° 25′ had the barometer (29.86) falling and a strong NW increasing breeze accompanied, in the evening, by hard rainsqualls and a confused sea.

　　　　Next day, November 1st, the latter vessel had very bad weather throughout, the centre of the disturbance, which was at noon situated in about 16%. 111, passing a few miles to the N of her position at 6 p. moving in a W or WSW direction towards the S entrance to the Gulf of Tongking. They experienced a strong to whole gale from WNW at 4 a (bar. 29.70) backing to SW by S at 6 p., the barometer attaining its lowest point, 29.50, at the latter hour. The strongest wind, of force 11 from WSW, was experienced between 3 p. and 4 p., but after 6 p. the wind decreased to a moderate breeze backing to SSE and E and a fine night followed with clear sky. They tried to run to the Southward

at 5 a. with the wind at W but could not on account of the heavy sea, and owing to the proximity of the Paracel Reefs they were prevented from going to the Eastward. The steam-ships Ask and Hongkong, off Hainan Head and about 200 miles to the N of the centre, had strong NE breezes with rising barometer, and the S.S.

On the 1st November pressure was slightly above the normal at Shanghai, 30.19, and in defect to the extent of between 0.1 and 0.15 inch at Hongkong, 29.91, and at Manila, 29.76. Pressure had not recovered at the two latter stations in rear of the late typhoon which still existed on this day to the S of Hainan. At Manila the barometer fell somewhat during the afternoon a moderate WSW breeze prevailing, while at Bolinao a light breeze blew from NW. Fresh breezes from NE and E were blowing on the China Coast between Hongkong and Amoy. These observations afford some indications of the existence of a new disturbance which appears to have been situated to the E of N Luzon

　　　On the 2nd November the following conditions prevailed. At Shanghai 30.34, and at Pakhoi (Gulf of Tongking), 30.14, the barometer had risen rapidly. At Hongkong, 30.00, the increase of pressure was also considerable, but at Amoy, 29.94, there was no change. At Bolinao, 29.79, and at Manila, 29.86, the barometer had risen. In Japan pressure varied from 30.15 at Nagasaki to 30.04 at Tokio. Strong winds and gales from N to NE blew generally on the China Coast. At Amoy and Swatow the direction backed from NE in the morning to N in the afternoon. At Gap Rock, Hongkong, a moderate to fresh gale blew from NNW, at Bolinao a light breeze from SE and S, and at Manila a moderate SAV breeze in the morning and a light SE breeze in the afternoon. At sea we have the following observations at noon on the 2nd :--The S.S. Chittagong situated in 26° 15', 123° 00', 30.09 NE 9 or; S.S. Michael Jebsen 23° 39', 117° 56′ 29 91 NNE 9 o; SS.

These observations together with those made at the Coast Stations show that an area of low pressure was situated in the neighbourhood of the Balingtang Channel and the centre may be placed, approximately, in the position 20°, 120° at noon. The S.S. Yuensang had been steering S by E from her noon position (19° 12', 118° 58') of the previous day. The barometer fell to 29.70 at 4 a. on the second, the wind of force 4 to 5 backing from E by N on the atternoon of the 1st to N at midnight, to W at 4 a. on the 2nd and thence to SW. These observations indicate that the vessel had passed to the W of a cyclonic disturb ince between the evening of the 1st and morning of the 2nd. On board the Sungkiang, to the W of the centre and steering for Hongkong, the barometer was at its lowest point at noon and thereafter it rose rapidly, and they had a strong gale from NNW during the evening.

Michael Jebsen and other vessels, off the China Coast near Swatow and steering towards Hongkong, had the wind backing to N and N and NW during the afternoon and blowing a strong gale with the barometer rising late at night.

The disturbance (XV) seems to have been recurving to the NE during the evening.

On the 3rd, we have the following observations:-Nagasaki 10 a. 29.93 NNW 3 or, 2 p. 29.91 NNW 40.; Tokio 10 a. 29.92 NW 2, 2 p. 29.69 NW 2; Shanghai 30.24, Amoy 29.98, Hongkong 30.06, Bolinao 29.86. Manila 29.88. Pressure bad therefore increased to a moderate extent at the four latter stations while it had decreased in the North, especially in Japan. Strong winds from N and NE continued on the China Coast and strong winds from NW blew between Shanghai and Nagasaki. At Bolinao and Manila the wind was as follows:-Bolinao 9 a. SSW 2, 3 p. NW 3; Manila 10 a. W1, 4 p. SW 4.

A depression was apparently moving rapidly to the NE at some distance from the S coast of Japan on this day, but the observations are insufficient to connect this with the disturbance situated near the Balingtang Channel on the previous day. The latter must have moved with extraordinary On the other velocity if it be assumed that it had reached the southern shores of Japan in 24 hours. hand, it is possible that its position was little changed and that it was filling up in the neighbourhood of S. Formosa. Observations from Formosa would determine the point but they are, unfortunately, not available.

On the 4th pressure had increased slightly at Shanghai and to the extent of 0,25 inch and 0.20 inch at Amoy and Hongkong respectively, and the NE monsoon blew with great severity in the N part of the China Sea during the following two or three days.

The American full-rigged ship John R. Kelly from New York bound for Hongkong crossed the equator in 119° E, and had thereafter calms and light W breezes. On the 6th in 4°, 132° they report SW 5 with stormy looking sky and long NE swell. On the 7th in 6°, 134° they report a rapidly falling glass, S 6, and NE swell. At noon on the 8th in 9°, 134° they report ENE 8, increasing. In the meantime they had made everything snug and taken in upper topsail and mainsail. At 6 p. they put the ship round to S to keep out of the centre of the typhoon, as the wind, they say, worked round to W. They kept her under lower topsails and storm-spanker all night, the sea increasing and the ship being completely under water. The sea had filled the forward house and the cabin. on the 9th they report NW 10. At 8 a. with W 9, they put ship's head to N. At 4 p. on in

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

XXVII

In the absence of more complete data it seems probable that a depression was in course of forma- tion in the trough-like area through which this vessel passed about mid-day.

On the 8th we have the following observations-Hongkong 30.03; Hoihow 30.08; Bolinao 29.83; Manila 29.86. The barometer had therefore fallen at these stations since the previous day. Light and moderate NE winds prevailed on the S coast of China and light SE winds at Manila with rain. At sea, off the Annam coast in about 13° latitude, the barometer read about 29.95 and moderate gales from N and NW accompanied by wet squally weather prevailed. In 5°, 106° the barometer stood at about 29.95 and several vessels had fine weather with moderate NW breezes in this locality. The S.S. Memnon, to the W of the S extremity of Palawan, had the barometer, 29.87, falling with a noderate SSW gale accompanied by continuous rain and hard squalls.

These observations show that winds were cyclonic round the China Sea and indicate that the area- of low barometer was' situated to the NW of Palawan and to the SW of Luzon and approximately in the position 13°, 117° at noon on this day.

On the 9th we have the following observations:-Hongkong 29.98; Hoihow 30.02; Bolinao 29.80; Manila 29.82. The barometer had thus continued to fall slightly at these stations. Light and and moderate NE and N winds blew on the S. Coast of China, light breezes from SE at Bolinao, and from NE to E at Manila. Off the Annam Coast in about 14° Latitude the barometer read 29.90 and fresh N to NNW gales prevailed. In about 7°, 108° moderate NW breezes blew with showery and squally weather, the barometer standing at about 29.90. The S.S. Memnon had a fresh SW breeze with the barometer reading 29.85 near the Balabac Channel.

　　　The central area of the depression (XVII) seems to have been occupying much the same position as on the previous day, but the general decrease of pressure round the China Sea indicates, that it was increasing in intensity.

Bolinao On the 10th the following conditions prevailed :-Hongkong 30.03; Hoihow 30.03; 29.82; Manila 29.86. These observations of the barometer show that pressure had increased slightly since the previous day on the S. Coast of China and in Luzon. It was below the normal to the extent of about 0.06 inch at Hongkong and 0.03 inch at Manila. Moderate NE monsoon blew on the S. Coast of China and moderate SE breezes at Bolinao. By aid of these and observations made on board At a distance of about vessels at sea, the centre may be placed, approximately, in 14°, 116° at noon. 350 miles to the N of this position the S.S. Michael Jebsen, in 19° 54′, 115° 27′, had the barometer, 29.93, falling and a moderate NE gale increasing and veering slightly as she steered towards SSE. A very high cross sea, from NE and SE, prevailed. To the WNW, at a distance of about 350 iniles, the S.S. Sishan, in 15° 53′, 110° 27', had 29.85 and a strong increasing breeze from N; the S.S. Agamemnon, in 10° 45', 111° 05', at a distance of about 350 miles to the SW of the centre had the barometer, 29.87, falling and a WNW increasing gale with high confused sea; near the position 8°, 109° the barometer read about 29.97, the wind being a moderate breeze from NW to SW.

　　　On the 11th pressure conditions on the S. Coast of China and in Luzon remained as on the previous day. The NE wind had, however, freshened a little on the S. Coast of China while the SE winds at Bolinao and Manila had become light. The centre of the depression must have been near the position 14°, 115. It was moving so slowly, at between 30 and 40 miles per day only, that the observations reveal but little difference in its situation from day to day, although a motion to some point of W is apparent on the whole. To the N by E of the above position at a distance of about 275 miles, the S.S. Michael Jebsen, in 18° 19′, 116° 43′, had the barometer, 29.85, falling and the wind a strong gale from NE by E. The vessel was hove to during the afternoon, the wind increasing to storm force with a dangerously high sea; the S.S. Macher, at a distance of about 370 miles to NW, and in 18° 27', 111° 17' steering towards NE, had the barometer, 30.01, rising and a fresh increasing gale from NE; the S.S. Agamemnon, about 150 miles to the WSW of the centre and in 12° 48', 113° 14', had the barometer, 29.70, falling with a strong WNW gale and high confused sea; in about 11o, 112o the barometer read 29.83 with fresh W breezes and in 8", 108" light WNW breezes prevailed with * the barometer standing at 29.97.

On the 12th pressure had increased slightly on the S. Coast of China, while in Luzon no change, had taken place. Hongkong had 30.04, Hoihow 30.06, Bolinao 29.83 and Manila 29.86. Light SE winds still prevailed at the two latter stations. The centre may be placed in 14°, 115° on this day At noon. The S.S. Michael Jebsen, hove to at a distance of 250 miles to the NNE of this position, continued to have winds of storm force from NE by E. At noon the barometer read 29.86, but it was now rising and the wind force decreased a little towards evening. Off the SE coast of Hainan, at a distance of 350 miles to the NW of the centre, the barometer read 29.97 and strong NNE winds with showery and squally weather prevailed; the S.S. Agamemnon was now situated in 13° 43', 114° 02′ and at a distance of 75 miles to SW by W of the centre. They still had a strong WNW gale at noon and the barometer had fallen to 29.55. The vessel was kept on her course towards NNE and during the afternoon the wind veered to NW and decreased to a nioderate gale, the barometer rising a little. This vessel might have been run to the SE with advantage as by keeping her course to the northward she was passing towards the storm track and into the right-hand semicircle, a particularly dangerous position in the NE monsoon. NW to W gales blew at a distance of from 150 to 250 miles to the W and SW of the centre, the barometer reading about 29.95 on the Annam coast in 13° Lat. In 9° 7′, 110° 47' the S.S. Albingia had 30.02 with a gentle NW breeze and fine weather.

XXVIII SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1896.

On the 13th pressure was high over N. China and a considerable increase had taken place on the S. Coast of China and the barometer had also risen in Luzon; Hongkong had 30.15, Hojhow 30.16, Bolinao 29.88 and Manila 29.92. Pressure was now slightly above the normal both at Hongkong and Manila. Fresh NE monsoon blew on the S. coast of China and the light SE breezes were main- tained at Bolinao. From the marine data the position of the centre at noon on this day may be given as 14° 45', 114° 30' with accuracy from the following observations. S.S. Agamemnon 15° 10', 114° 27′ 29.58 NE 4; S.S. Pakling 14° 55', 113° 32′ 29.71 NW 6; S.S. Wingsang 13° 47', 14° 25′ 29.71 W/S 6. They also indicate that the centre was a large one and show that there was a considerable area around it where the winds were comparatively light. The following information shows that strongest winds were experienced at soine distance from the centre. To the W, at a distance of about 250 miles, the steamships Macduff, Holstein and Frammes experienced fierce gales from NNW; to the NNW, at a distance of from 300 to 350 miles, strong NNE winds to gales prevailed accompanied by showery and squally weather the barometer reading about 30.04; the S.S. Michael Jebsen still had a fierce NE gale at a distance of about 300 miles to the NE of the centre and strong NE monsoon prevailed at a distance of about 250 miles to the ENE of the centre which shows that the NE monsoon was spread- ing down the Eastern side of the China Sea in rear of the depression; the S.S. Albingia had only a fresh WNW breeze with the barometer reading 29.93 at a distance of 200 miles to the SW by S of the centre.

　　　During the evening on board the Agamemnon they had an increasing NE gale with the barometer rising rapidly as they steered to the NNE; the Pakling, steering N, had the barometer rising with the wind veering to NE and increasing; and the Wingsang, steering NNE, passed to the rear of the depression and had the barometer rising and the wind, of force 5 only, backing to SW in the afternoon and gradually to ESE the same night.

On the 14th pressure remained very high over N China and a further large increase had taken place on the S Coast. In Luzon the barometer had also risen considerably. Hongkong had 30.26, Hoihow 30.23, Bolinao 29.95, and Manila 30.00. Pressure was now above the normal, at Hongkong 0.15 inch, and at Manila 0.10 inch. The centre of the depression seems to have passed N of the S.S. Polyphemus at 4 a. on this day. The vessel was then situated in 14° 29', 113° 00'. A heavy W gale had been experienced up to midnight, but at 2 a. the wind dropped. At 4 a. (bar. 29.80 lowest reading) it began to increase again from SE but it only attained the force of a fresh breeze. In rear of the centre the winds were extremely feeble in this disturbance. At noon the centre was probably situated in 15° 15', 112° 00'. In rear of the centre at a distance of about 75 miles the barometer read 29.80 and moderate to fresh breezes blew from SE, the weather being squally; in the W quadrant, or in front of the centre at a distance of about 100 miles, the barometer read 29.85 and fierce gales from N and NNW prevailed. The steamships Loosok, Framnes and Macduff ran to the southward and had the wind backing to the NW and W during the evening. The S.S. Holstein held on her course to the N and had the wind veering to the E. In the NE quadrant strong gales from NE prevailed at distances varying from 150.to 400 miles from the centre. The wind direction was not, however, controlled by the depression although the force was doubtless augmented by it.

　　　　Between the 13 and 14th the disturbance traversed a distance of about 150 miles, so that its rate of progression suddenly increased on the 13th.

On the 15th there yet remains a trace of the depression. To the S of Hongkong in from 17° to 20° lat. strong breezes and moderate gales from E to NE prevailed with the barometer standing at about 30.10. The S.S. Holstein to the S of Hainan and in 17° 49′, 110° 39′ had a moderate E gale. with the barometer reading 29 96. On the Annam Coast near Cape Varella the steamships Framnes and Loosok had fresh decreasing W winds in the morning, backing to SW and S at night and becom- ing light. The barometer which read about 29.93 at noon was rising. The depression was probably central near the position 15, 109 at noon, but it had apparently almost filled up.

During the last few days of the existence of this depression high pressure prevailed over China and the NE monsoon blew very strongly in the N part of the China Sea quite irrespective of the low pressure area to the Southward. In the northern semicircle the monsoon and the strong winds due to the depression itself were therefore combined and produced very heavy weather in this part of the disturbance; and in consequence of the slow motion of the latter these strong winds were main- tained for several days and many vessels steering northwards in the China Sea were delayed and suffered severely, some of them being in difficulties through running short of coal.

Extract of observations made on board ships in the Far East in 1895.

　　　　The corrections to barometer and aneroid readings made on board ships are determined as far as possible by comparing the readings entered on our forms or in the Logbooks when the vessel is in port with more reliable instruments read on shore, but no allowance can be made for scale-errors, and the index errors are supposed to vary with the time. Observations made on board ships are usually very rough. With regard to the direction and force of the wind frequently the motion of the vessel is not taken into account. The weather symbols given are those in general use to denote the state of the sky and weather with the exception of k, which is here used whenever the term "clear" or "fine" is written is the Logbook. These latter terms are too indefinite to admit of a clear interpretation as regards the state of the sky. The following observations were all made at noon (true time)

　　　On the 1st October at 11.0 a. "The depression has entered the China Sea and appears to be situated off the coast of SW Luzon. Apparently it is moving towards WNW at present. The baro- meter has fallen generally on the China Coast and now reads slightly below the normal in Hongkong." Forecast:-" fresh or strong NE breezes; fair."

　　　On the 2nd at 11.5 a. "The depression, which is probably situated to the SE of the Paracels, appears to be moving towards the Annam Coast. The barometer is steady on the S coast of China and has risen on the E coast and in Luzon." Forecast:-" fresh or strong NE and E breezes; fair."

The SS. Memnon on a voyage from Hongkong to N. Borneo passed from the dangerous into the manageable semi-circle in front of the centre, experiencing a moderate gale veering from ENE to SSE. The SS. Teenkai passed from the S to the rear of the disturbance and experienced strong breezes from W backing to SE with the barometer almost steady.

　　　On the 3rd at 10.10 a. "Another depression appears to be situated in the Pacific to the E of N Luzon." At 11.15 a. "The barometer has risen in the extreme North and on the E coast of China, changes in other areas being slight. Pressure is about 0.1 inch in defect in Luzon and almost normal

The barometer has risen generally on the China Coast between Hongkong and Shanghai, fallen in the Gulf of Tongking." Forecast:--"Strong SE to E breezes; squally and showery. "The greatest wind velocity registered at the Observatory was 66 miles per hour at 5 a. on the 6th. At the Peak it reached typhoon force for a short time."

　　　On the 4th the SS. Yuensan, steering for Manila had NNW 7 with quickly falling barometer. The vessel was then rightly steered towards SW at half speed with NW 9 (backing). The barometer ceased to fall and they were able to resume their course about 6 hours later.

On the 5th the centre passed at a distance of about 150 miles to the S of Hongkong.

On the 5th the SS. Progress steaming from Touron to Hongkong proceeded too far on the port tack and became involved in the typhoon. An attempt to run S with an increasing N gale, proved too late, and the centre subsequently passed over the ship. The steepest gradient was about 0.40 in 15 miles. On the same day the S.S. Shantung, in the left-hand front quadrant and steering N, had W 7. She was then very properly run to the SE and afterwards to E. They thus escaped any violent winds and were able to put the ship on her course again after 12 hours, with SSW 6 and rising barometer. On the contrary the S.S. Namyong was hove to in the left-hand front quadrant and experienced a heavy W backing gale, the vessel sustaining considerable damage.

On the 10th at 10.30 a.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　"The typhoon has entered the China Sea, the centre being now situated in about 18° Lat. 119° Long., and moving towards NW at present." At 11.5 a. "A full hurricane was experienced at the E. E. Telegraph Company's station, Bolinao, between midnight and 4 a. this morning. The barometer has risen considerably on the E. coast of China and is inclined to fall in the neighbourhood of Hongkong. Pressure is rather low in Japan." Forecast:-" Moderate N winds, probably freshening considerably during the next 24 hours; fair to unsettled." At 4.15

At 4.15 p., Red Drum hoisted. At 7.35 p. Two lanterns hoisted vertically.

　　　On the 11th at 10.35 a. Black Drum hoisted. At 11.30 a "The centre of the typhoon appears to be lying about 250 miles to the SE of Hongkong, moving slowly towards WNW at present. It will most probably pass to the S of Hongkong. Heavy gale expected here from N to SE." At 11.45 a. Gun fired one round.

　　　On the 12th at 11.30 a. Black Drum lowered. "The typhoon seems to have continued on its original course towards NW yesterday, and is probably recurving near Swatow this morning. A strong NNW gale blew at Gap Rock last night. No reports received from Swatow and Amoy this morning. The barometer has fallen in the N part of the Formosa Channel and on the E Coast of China, and remains low and almost steady in Hongkong. In Luzon and the Gulf of Tongking pressure has increased." Forecast:-

Forecast:-"strong NW winds; fair. NW gales off shore." At noon Typhoon in S part of the Formosa Channel.'

On the 13th at 11.10 a. "The typhoon, which has probably filled up considerably, seems to be crossing N Formosa moving towards ENE. Pressure has increased about 0.2 inch between Hongkong and Amoy and remains steady at Shanghai." Forecast:-"light N winds; fine, clear.'

While a strong NNW gale blew at Gap Rock on the 11th, when the centre was within 160 miles of the Observatory, only fresh to strong N breezes blew in the Hongkong harbour, which was sheltered by the hills to the northward. The S.S. Namoa, at a distance of 70 miles ENE of the Colony, experienced a fierce NE gale.

J

1054 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH NOVEMBER, 1896.

　　　　　Upon their arrival in port, masters have to give up a manifest of the cargo and another manifest of the provisions on board. This latter manifest should contain everything not included in the former, such as provisions, private goods, etc.

　　　　　Masters cannot refuse to receive on board the officers of the Custom house and must open cabins, lockers, etc. so that a search can be made.

Masters, who have on board, when arriving in port, cargo, private or other goods, not included in either of the two manifests, should declare same immediately to the visiting Customs officers; they will not be obliged to pay duty on such goods, which they may re-export if they wish, but the existence of such articles must be declared.

Goods bound for a foreign port, which have been declared, will immediately be placed under seal, or deposited in the warehouse of the Custom house until the ship's departure.

If a Custom house officer should find goods, provisions, etc. on board, not included in the mani- fests and which have not been declared, such goods will be seized to the prejudice of the captain, who, besides, will be liable to a fine, excepting his recourse against a third party. If the goods in question be contraband, the Captain may even be placed under arrest.

Masters should prevent all unloading or transhipment unless with the permission of the Custom's authorities, from the moment of having entered within a distance of twenty kilometers of the coast.

　　　　In a foreign port, masters should not load or permit to be loaded goods, of which the entry in this colony is prohibited. If such goods were taken on board without their knowledge, they should assure themselves, while under way, of the existence of such goods and not omit to declare same to the Custom house upon arrival; they would be seriously compromised by not doing so.

1054 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH NOVEMBER, 1896.

　　　　　Upon their arrival in port, masters have to give up a manifest of the cargo and another manifest of the provisions on board. This latter manifest should contain everything not included in the former, such as provisions, private goods, etc.

　　　　　Masters cannot refuse to receive on board the officers of the Custom house and must open cabins, lockers, etc. so that a search can be made.

Masters, who have on board, when arriving in port, cargo, private or other goods, not included in either of the two manifests, should declare same immediately to the visiting Customs officers; they will not be obliged to pay duty on such goods, which they may re-export if they wish, but the existence of such articles must be declared.

Goods bound for a foreign port, which have been declared, will immediately be placed under seal, or deposited in the warehouse of the Custom house until the ship's departure.

If a Custom house officer should find goods, provisions, etc. on board, not included in the mani- fests and which have not been declared, such goods will be seized to the prejudice of the captain, who, besides, will be liable to a fine, excepting his recourse against a third party. If the goods in question be contraband, the Captain may even be placed under arrest.

Masters should prevent all unloading or transhipment unless with the permission of the Custom's authorities, from the moment of having entered within a distance of twenty kilometers of the coast.

　　　　In a foreign port, masters should not load or permit to be loaded goods, of which the entry in this colony is prohibited. If such goods were taken on board without their knowledge, they should assure themselves, while under way, of the existence of such goods and not omit to declare same to the Custom house upon arrival; they would be seriously compromised by not doing so.

　　　Whereas by Ordinance No. 3 of 1862, intituled An Ordinance to authorise His Excellency the Governor by Proclamation to prohibit the Exportation of Military Stores and other Articles, as amended by Ordinance 3 of 1884, entitled "An Ordinance to amend Ordinance 3 of 1862," it is enacted that it should be lawful for His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice of the Executive Council, by Proclamation to be published in the Hongkong Government Gazette, or in any Extraordinary Gazette, to prohibit, for such period as should be mentioned in such Proclamation, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony (amongst other things) Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Military and Naval Stores, subject to any permission that may be obtained under the last mentioned Ordinance.

　　　And whereas in consequence of certain representations that have been made to me by the Govern- ment of the Empire of China, and for other reasons I have determined, with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, to prohibit such exportation for the period hereinafter mentioned :

　　　Now, therefore, I, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, by and with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, do, by this Proclamation, for a period of six months from the date thereof, prohibit, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony, Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Naval and Military Stores; unless this Proclamation shall be in the meantime revoked, or unless permission shall have been obtained under Ordinance 3 of 1884.

J'ai l'honneur, conformement aux instructions que je viens de recevoir, de faire savoir a votre Seigneurie qu'une Exposition Universelle Internationale des ?uvres d'art et des produits industriels et agricoles, dont les conditions sont exposees dans la note et des actes organiques ci-joints, aura lieu a Paris du 15 Avril au 5 Novembre, 1900, et je suis charge d'inviter, au nom du Gouvernement de la Republique Francaise, le Gouvernement de Sa Majeste la Reine a y prendre officiellement part. Le Gouvernement Francais attacherait un prix particulier a recevoir du Gouvernement de Sa Majeste une reponse favorable, et il a la confiance que la participation de la Grande-Bretagne a l'Exposition Parisienne de 1900 ne pourra que resserrer les liens qui unissent heureusement nos deux pays.

Je serai reconnaissant a votre Seigneurie de me faire connaitre, des qu'il lui sera possible, l'accueil reserve par le Gouvernement de Sa Majeste la Reine a cette invitation.

Veuillez, &c.,

Memorandum.

Exposition Universelle Internationale de 1900 a Paris.

Le Gouvernement de la Republique Francaise a decide qu'une Exposition Universelle des ?uvres d'art et des produits industriels et agricoles s'ouvrirait a Paris du 15 Avril au 5 Novembre, 1900.

Comme l'indique le Reglement General ci-joint, l'Exposition de 1900 recevra les ?uvres d'art, les produits agricoles ou industriels, et les autres objets rentrant dans la classification. Toutes les nations sont invitees a y prendre part.

A l'Exposition contemporaine sera jointe une Exposition retrospective cen- tennale repartie entre les classes et resumant les progres accomplis depuis 1800 dans les diverses branches de la production.

L'une des caracteristiques essentielles de la nouvelle classification consiste a mettre les moyens de production en contact intime avec les produits. Partout les machines et les appareils fonctionneront autant que possible sous les yeux du public de maniere a l'initier aux differentes fabrications.

Des expositions speciales (exposition historique de l'art, expositions anthro- pologique et ethnographique), des auditions musicales et des Congres, des Concours Agricoles, completeront l'Exposition Universelle de 1900.

L'emplacement prevu pour cette Exposition comprend le Champ de Mars, le Trocadero et ses abords, le Quai d'Orsay, l'Esplanade des Invalides, le Quai de la Conference, le Cours-la-Reine, le Palais de l'Industrie, et les terrains avoisinant ce Palais. Les deux rives de la Seine seront reunies par un pont etabli en face de l'Hotel des Invalides.

Le Reglement edicte des mesures tres liberales, en ce qui concerne la gratuite des emplacements occupes par les exposants dans les palais et dans les pavillons generaux, le regime des Douanes, des Contributions Indirectes et de l'Octroi, et la protection des objets exposes.

Les nations etrangeres qui participeront a l'Exposition devront se faire repre- senter aupres du Commissaire General, chacune par un Delegue, auquel appartiendra exclusivement le soin de traiter les questions interessant ses nationaux ; l'Adminis- tration de l'Exposition ne devant pas correspondre avec les exposants etrangers. Il ne pourra etre fait exception a cette regle que pour l'Exposition retrospective

centennale.

MONSIEUR L'AMBASSADEUR,

A la date du 8 Octobre dernier, vous avez bien voulu me communiquer la copie d'une lettre du Marquis de Salisbury vous accusant reception de l'invitation que vous avez adressee au Gouvernement de la Reine de prendre part officiellement a l'Exposition Universelle de 1900. Nous avons constate avec satisfaction que notre demarche avait ete prise en serieuse consideration a Londres et, comptant sur votre efficace intervention, nous nous plaisons a considerer d'ores et deja comme probable le concours de la Grande Bretagne et des possessions Anglaises.

En ce qui concerne ces dernieres, je n'ai pas fait parvenir l'invitation speciale aux Gouvernements Coloniaux. J'ai pense en effet que nous devious laisser a la metropole le soin de provoquer, si elle le jugeait a propos la participation de ses colonies a nos assises industrielles.

Je vous serais oblige de vouloir bien a l'occasion appeler l'attention du Marquis de Salisbury sur les raisons de courtoisie qui ont motive notre reserve et de le prier de signaler aux colonies de Self Government l'interet que nous attachons a les voir representees a l'Exposition de 1900.

Agreez, Monsieur l'Ambassadeur, les assurances de ma haute consideration.

YOUR EXCELLENCY:-

FOREIGN OFFICE,

June 3rd, 1896.

Her Majesty's Government have given careful consideration to your note of the 28th of September last, inviting Great Britain to take part in the Universal International Exhibition which is to be held at Paris from the 15th of April to the 5th of November, 1900.

I have now the honour to inform Your Excellency in reply that Her Majesty's Government will have great pleasure in officially participating in this Exhibition, which they believe will tend to draw still closer the relations of friendship which exist between Great Britain and France.

I shall feel obliged if Your Excellency will inform me in due course when it will be desirable that preliminary operations should begin at Paris in connection with the organization of the British Section of the Exhibition of 1900; and I shall be glad to receive at any time such further information upon the subject as the French Government may see fit to supply.

J'ai l'honneur de vous accuser reception de cette communication dont j'ai donne connaissance a M. le Ministre du Commerce.

Je vous serai, d'ailleurs, oblige de remercier en mon nom Lord Salisbury de la decision prise par le Gouvernement de la Reine et de lui exprimer, en meme temps, combien le Gouvernement de la Republique apprecie les termes particuliere- ment amicaux dans lesquels il nous a notifie cette decision.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Vous ajouterez que nous sommes egalement tres heureux de penser que la participation officielle du Royaume-Uni a notre Exposition contribuera sans aucun doute a resserrer encore les relations d'amitie qui existent entre les deux Pays et auxquelles nous attachons le plus grand prix.

J'aurais interet a savoir si l'acceptation du Gouvernement Britannique s'applique a ses Colonies en meme temps qu'au Royaume-Uni ou si, au contraire, des reponses particulieres nous seront adresses en ce qui concerne chacun des Gouvernements Coloniaux de l'Empire Britannique.

Quant au desir exprime par le Premier Ministre d'etre informe, en temps voulu, de l'epoque a laquelle commenceront les operations preliminaires "concernant l'organisation de la section Anglaise de l'Exposition et de recevoir a ce sujet toutes les indications susceptibles d'interresser le Gouvernement Britannique, je

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to declare and amend the Law of

Partnership.

BE it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the

advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof,

as follows:

1. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as The Partnership Ordinance, 1896.

2. In this Ordinance, unless the context otherwise re- quires,-

"Court" includes every court and judge having juris-

diction in the case:

"Business" includes every trade, occupation, or pro-

fession.

Nature of Partnership.

3.--(1.)` Partnership is the relation which subsists be- tween persons carrying on a business in common with a view of profit.

(2.) But the relation between members of any company

or association which is-

(a.) Registered as a company under The Companies Ordinance, 1865, or any other Ordinance for the time being in force and relating to the registration of joint stock companies; or

(b.) Formed or incorporated by or in pursuance of any other Ordinance, or any Act of Parliament, or letters patent, or Royal Charter,

is not a partnership within the meaning of this Ordinance.

Rules for determining existence of partnership. (Ibid, s. 2.)

Postponement of rights of person lending or selling in consideration of share of profits in case of insolvency. (Ibid, s. 3.)

Meaning of

"firin" and "firm-name." (Ibid, s. 4.)

Power of

partner to bind firm, (Ibid, s. 5.)

4. In determining whether a partnership does or does not exist, regard shall be had to the following rules :→

(1.) Joint tenancy, tenancy in common, joint property, common property, or part ownership does not of itself create a partnership as to anything so held or owned, whether the tenants or owners do or do not share any profits made by the use thereof;

(2.) The sharing of gross returns does not of itself create a partnership, whether the persons sharing such returns have or have not a joint or common right or interest in any property from which or from the use of which the returns are derived;

(3.) The receipt by a person of a share of the profits of a business is prima facie evidence that he is a part- ner in the business, but the receipt of such a share, or of a payment contingent on or varying with the profits of a business, does not of itself make him a partner ju the business; and in particular-

(a.) The receipt by a person of a debt or other liquidated amount, by instalments or otherwise, out of the accruing profits of a business does not of itself make him a partner in the business or liable as such;

(b.) A contract for the remuneration of a servant or agent of a person engaged in a business by a share of the profits of the business does not of itself make the servant or agent a partner in the business or liable as such;

(c.) A person being the widow or child of a deceased partner, and receiving by way of annuity a portion of the profits made in the business in which the deceased person was a partner, is not, by reason only of such receipt, a partner in the business or liable as such;

(d.) The advance of money by way of loan to a person engaged or about to engage in any busi- ness on a contract with that person that the lender shall receive a rate of interest varying with the profits, or shall receive a share of the profits arising from carrying on the business, does not of itself make the lender a partner with the person or persons carrying on the business or liable as such Provided that the contract is in writing, and signed by or on behalf of all the parties thereto;

(e.) A person receiving by way of annuity or other- wise a portion of the profits of a business in consideration of the sale by him of the goodwill of the business is not, by reason only of such receipt, a partner in the business or liable as such.

5. In the event of any person to whom money has been advanced by way of loan upon such a contract as is mentioned in the last preceding section, or of any buyer of a goodwill in consideration of a share of the profits of the business, being adjudged a bankrupt, entering into an arrangement to pay his creditors less than twenty shillings in the pound, or dying in insolvent circumstances, the lender of the loan shall not be entitled to recover anything in respect of his loan, and the seller of the goodwill shall not be entitled to recover anything in respect of the share of profits contracted for, until the claims of the other creditors of the borrower or buyer for valuable consideration in money or money's worth have been satisfied.

6. Persons who have entered into partnership with one another are, for the purposes of this Ordinance, called collectively a firm, and the name under which their business is carried on is called the firm-name.

Relations of Partners to Persons dealing with them.

7. Every partner is an agent of the firm and his other partners for the purpose of the business of the partnership; and the acts of every partner who does any act for carrying on in the usual way business of the kind carried on by the firm of which he is a member bind the firm and his partners, unless the partner so acting has in fact no authority to act for the firm in the particular matter, and the person with whom he is dealing either knows that he has no authority, or does not know or believe him to be a partner.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5?? DECEMBER, 1896.

8. An act or instrument relating to the business of the firm and done or executed in the firm-name, or in any other manner showing an intention to bind the firm, by any person thereto authorized, whether a partner or not, is binding on the firm and all the partners: Provided that this section shall not affect any general rule of law relating to the execution of deeds or negotiable instruments.

9. Where one partner pledges the credit of the firm for a purpose apparently not connected with the firm's ordinary course of business, the firm is not bound, unless he is in fact specially authorized by the other partners; but this section does not affect any personal liability incurred by an in- dividual partner.

10. If it has been agreed between the partners that any restriction shall be placed on the power of any one or more of them to bind the firm, no act done in contravention of the agreement is binding on the firm with respect to persons having notice of the agreement.

11. Every partner in a firm is liable jointly with the other partners for all debts and obligations of the firm incurred while he is a partner; and after his death his estate is also severally liable in a due course of administra- tion for such debts and obligations, so far as they remain unsatisfied, but subject to the prior payment of his separate

debts.

12. Where, by any wrongful act or omission of any partner acting in the ordinary course of the business of the firm or with the authority of his co-partners, loss or injury is caused to any person not being a partner in the firm, or any penalty is incurred, the firm is liable therefor to the same extent as the partner so acting or omitting to act.

13. In the following cases, namely,-

(1.) Where one partner, acting within the scope of his apparent authority, receives the money or property of a third person and misapplies it; and (2.) Where a firm in the course of its business receives the money or property of a third person, and the money or property so received is misapplied by one or more of the partners while it is in the custody of the firm, the firm is liable to make good the loss.

14. Every partner is liable jointly with his co-partners and also severally for everything for which the firm while he is a partner therein becomes liable under either of the last two preceding sections.

15. If a partner, being a trustee, improperly employs trust-property in the business or on the account of the partnership, no other partner is liable for the trust-property to the persons beneficially interested therein: Provided as follows:

(1.) This section shall not affect any liability incurred by any partner by reason of his having notice of a breach of trust; and

(2.) Nothing in this section shall prevent trust money from being followed and recovered from the firm if still in its possession or under its control.

16.-(1.) Every one, who by words spoken or written or by conduct represents himself, or who knowingly suffers himself to be represented, as a partner in a particular firm, is liable as a partner to any one who has, on the faith of any such representation, given credit to the firm, whether the representation has or has not been made or communicated to the person so giving credit by or with the knowledge of the apparent partner making the representation or suffer- ing it to be made.

(2.) Provided that where after a partner's death the partnership business is continued in the old firm-name, the continued use of that name or of the deceased partner's name as part thereof shall not of itself make his executors or administrators, estate or effects, liable for any partner- ship debts contracted after his death.

17. An admission or representation made by any partner concerning the partnership affairs, and in the ordinary course of its business, is evidence against the firm.

18. Notice to any partner who habitually acts in the partnership business of any matter relating to partnership affairs operates as notice to the firm, except in the case of a fraud on the firm committed by or with the consent of that partner.

Where co-owners of an estate or interest in any land, not being itself partnership property, are partners as to profits made by the use of that land, and purchase other land out of the profits to be used in like manner, the land so purchased belongs to them, in the absence of any agreement to the contrary, not as partners, but as co-owners for the same respective estates and interests as are held by them in the land first mentioned at the date of the purchase.

cases :-

(1.) When a partner is found lunatic by inquisition, or is shown, to the satisfaction of the Court, to be of per- manently unsound mind, in either of which cases the application may be made as well on behalf of that partner by his committee or next friend or person having title to intervene as by any other partner; (2.) When a partner, other than the partner suing, becomes in any other way permanently incapable of performing his part of the partnership contract; (3.) When a partner, other than the partner suing, has been guilty of such conduct as, in the opinion of the Court, regard being had to the nature of the business, is calculated to prejudicially affect the carrying on of the business;

(4.) When a partner, other than the partner suing, wil- fully or persistently commits a breach of the part- nership agreement or otherwise so conducts himself in matters relating to the partnership business that it is not reasonably practicable for the other partner or partners to carry on the business in partnership with him;

(5.) When the business of the partnership can only be

carried on at a loss; and

(6.) Whenever in any case circumstances have arisen which, in the opinion of the Court, render it just and equitable that the partnership be dissolved.

42. Where one partner has paid a premium to another on entering into a partnership for a fixed term, and the partnership is dissolved before the expiration of that term otherwise than by the death of a partner, the Court may order the repayment of the premium, or of such part thereof as it thinks just, having regard to the terms of the partner- ship contract and to the length of time during which the partnership has continued; unless-

(1.) The dissolution is, in the judgment of the Court, wholly or chiefly due to the misconduct of the partner who paid the premium; or

(2.) The partnership has been dissolved by an agreement containing no provision for a return of any part of the premium.

43. Where a partnership contract is rescinded on the ground of the fraud or misrepresentation of one of the parties thereto, the party entitled to rescind is, without prejudice to any other right, entitled-

(2.) Provided that where by the partnership contract an option is given to surviving or continuing partners to purchase the interest of a deceased or outgoing partner, and that option is duly exercised, the estate of the deceased partner, or the outgoing partner or his estate, as the case

In pursuance of the policy exemplified by the Factors Ordinance, 1896, (No. 6 of 1896), the Sale of Goods Ordinance, 1896, (No. 7 of 1896), and various other Ordi- nances intended to assimilate the Statute Law of the Colony to that of the Mother Country, this Bill has been prepared with the object of placing upon the local Statute Book the provisions of the Imperial Partnership Act, 1890, (53 and 54 Vict. c. 39). That Act embodies a convenient and well arranged digest of the principal rules of law relating to partnerships, and this Bill is almost entirely a transcript of its provisions, very slight modifications having been required to adapt it to the circumstances of the Colony.

2. It is proposed in clause 48 to repeal certain local enactments corresponding to enactments of the Imperial Parliament which have been repealed by the Partnership Act, 1890.

41. Every such bond shall be in a penalty of double the amount under which the estate of the deceased person is sworn, unless the Court in any case thinks fit to direct the same to be reduced, in which case it shall be lawful for the Court to do so; and the Court may also direct that more bonds than one shall be given so as to limit the liability of any surety to such amount as the Court thinks reasonable.

Revocation of Grant.

42. When any probate or administration is revoked, all payments bona fide made to any executor or administrator under such probate or administration before the revocation thereof shall be a legal discharge to the person making the same, and the executor or administrator who has acted under any such revoked probate or administration may retain and reimburse himself in respect of any payments made by him which the person to whom probate or admin- istration is afterwards granted might have lawfully made.

The British Possessions Probate Ordinance, 1895. [11th

December, 1895.]

Objects and Reasons.

It is proposed by this Bill to consolidate into one Ordin- ance, with such alterations and amendments as have been judged necessary, all the Ordinances on the local Statute Book having reference to probates of wills and letters of administration of the estates of deceased persons, to the rules of administration of such estates, to the mode of dealing with probates and letters of administration granted in places out of the Colony, and to certain special cases in which a summary mode of administering the estates of deceased persons has been provided by law. These Ordin- ances are nine in number, and they will be found enumer- ated in the Third Schedule to the Bill. The main object of the measure is not so much to change or alter the pro- visions of the law on this subject, which have on the whole worked in a satisfactory manner, as to simplify and improve their method and arrangement,

2. The only changes of any importance suggested by the Bill have relation to the office of Official Administrator. In clause 19 provision is made for the summary adminis- tration of the estates of persons dying intestate, where the whole value of the estate does not exceed $50 in value. In clause 20 an attempt is made to define the cases in which this officer is entitled to apply for and obtain letters of administration. At present the law is silent upon this

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5?H DECEMBER, 1896.

point. By clause 23 an obligation is laid upon the Official Administrator to bring the administration of an estate in his hands to a close within the same time as an ordinary administrator is required to do. By clause 24 the com- mission now collected upon moneys received by the Official Administrator is proposed to be legalized. Clause 25 pro- poses to apply to moneys received or taken possession of by the Official Administrator under the powers conferred upon

him by clause 14-which is a re-enactment of the exist- ing law-the provisions of The Unclaimed Balances Or- dinance, 1885. Clauses 26 and 27, relating to the keeping of books by the Official Administrator and the inspection thereof by persons desirous to inspect the same, and to the right of persons applying for office copies of documents to have the same, are taken from the Administrator General's Ordinance, 1887, of British Guiana.

3. The benefits of clause 61, which is taken from The Widows and Children Relief Ordinance, 1886, are, in accordance with the amendment made in 36 and 37 Vict. c. 52 (upon which that Ordinance is founded) by 38 and 39 Vict. c. 27, extended to the case of a widow dying intestate and leaving children resident in the Colony.

4. Clause 74 relating to rules and orders of the Court is in substance a re-enactment of section 10 of Ordinance No. 9 of 1870. It appears that no rules or orders have been made under this enactment, but the custom has been, in case of any contentious business arising, to act upon the power conferred by section 11 of the last-mentioned Ordin- ance, and to direct that the rules and orders of the English Court of Probate shall, with the necessary modifications, be in force in the Court pro hac vice. But copies of the English rules and orders have been sent for, and it is in- tended with their aid to frame without delay a body of rules and orders for use in the Court.

5. Sections 10 and 11 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1860, relating to affidavits, etc., as amended by Ordinance No. 1 of 1861, have been omitted because they appear to be superseded by the provisions on that subject of The Evidence Consolida- tion Ordinance, 1889.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to further amend The Post Office

Ordinance, 1887.

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the

Badvice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof,

as follows:-

No. 7 of 1885.

No. 10 of 1896,

No. 1 of 1889.

1. This Ordinance shall be read and construed together. Construction with The Post Office Ordinance, 1887, (as amended by Ordinances 22 of 1889 and 10 of 1894).

2. The Postmaster General may punish any Officer of the Post Office except the Assistant Postmaster General for misconduct, or for neglect or breach of duty, by a fine not exceeding ten dollars, which shall be deducted by the Postmaster General from the pay of such Officer.

3. The imposition of every such punishment shall be reported without delay to the Governor who shall have power, if he thinks fit, to remit such fine either wholly or partially.

4. A record of every such punishment shall be entered in a book to be kept for that purpose which shall be called the Officers' Misconduct Book.

5. Such fines shall be applied to the general good of the Officers of the Post Office in such manner as may from time to time be directed by the Governor.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Ordinance is to confer upon the Post- master General a similar power of inflicting a fine to that which is vested in the Superintendent of the Prison by Rule 2 of the Gaol Regulations.

In many cases the reduction of a delinquent's salary or his dismissal would be an excessive punishment, and it is thought that the institution of a system of small fines will have a salutary effect.

B

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Pawnbrokers Compensation Ordinance, 1896.

2. In each of the following cases :-

(1.) If any person is convicted in any Court of felon- iously taking or fraudulently obtaining any goods and chattels, and it appears to the Court that the same have been pawned with a Pawnbroker; or (2.) If in any proceedings before a Court of Summary Jurisdiction it appears to the Court that any goods and chattels brought before the Court have been unlawfully pawned with a Pawnbroker;

the Court, on proof of the ownership of the goods and chattels, may, if it thinks fit, order the delivery thereof to the owner, either on payment to the Pawnbroker of the amount of the loan, advanced by him thereon, or of any part thereof, or without payment of such loan or any part thereof, as to the Court, according to the conduct of the owner and the other circumstances of the case, seems just and fitting.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Bill is to assimilate our local law to that in force in England by empowering the Court, if it thinks fit, to award some compensation to a pawnbroker, in cases where property, which has been wrongfully obtained or illegally pawned, is restored to the true owner.

As our law at present stands the Court possesses no such power, and it seems desirable to remedy the defect.

2. As a good deal of misunderstanding appears to exist as to the improvement of the area resum- ed, I propose briefly to record the proceedings that have been adopted with respect to the resumption and subsequent improvement of this area.

RESUMPTION.

3. Under the provisions of Ordinance 8 of 1894, the area now known as the "Resumed area of Taipingshan," the area of private property being 6.25 acres in extent, was resumed on the 26th day of September, 1894. Under the provision of section 7, no houses on the lands resumed could be altered, pulled down or destroyed pending the publication of the list referred to in section 6, sub-sec- tion 3.

　　　4. On the 10th of November, 1894, shortly after my return from leave, ascertaining that the Government had taken no steps whatever for the valuation, on behalf of the ratepayers of the Colony, of the claims that would be made in respect of the properties resumed, I addressed a letter No. 886, C.S.O. 2882, to the Government on the subject, and the work was entrusted to the Colonial Treasurer, the Deputy Land Officer and myself.

5. The preparation of the necessary plans and the collection of the information required naturally occupied a considerable time, and the Board which was appointed under the provisions of section 5 of Ordinance 8 of 1894 on the 10th November, 1894, did not hear any claims till the 27th December, 1894, and did not publish the list required under section 6 till 9th March, 1895, Government Gazette page 165, and the enquiry was not completed and the awards published till the 18th May, Government Gazette, page

519.

6. During the greater portion of this period, viz., from December to March, my own time and that of other officers of the Department was to a large extent occupied in attending to the ordinary routine work of the Department and the valuation of the several properties (118 lots and 417 houses included in this area, and subsequent attendance at the arbitration. A special report upon this subject dated the 6th March, 1895, will be found in Sessional Paper 11 of 1895.

IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

7. On the 25th March, 1895, I submitted a report, Sessional Paper 14 of 1895, and project for the Improvement of the Resumed Area. These were referred to the Public Works Committee on the 11th April, 1895, and again on the 23rd May, 1895, the members requiring further time to consider the project. In the interval, I attended a private meeting of the Unofficial Members at the invitation of the Honourable C. P. CHATER and further explained the report and project.

187

8. On the 6th of June, 1895, the project was adopted by Council, and the approval of the Secre- tary of State was communicated by telegraph on the 11th June and confirmed by C.O.D. received on the 7th September.

18951

9. The first step to be taken was the clearing out of the woodwork and demolition of some of the buildings, in order to admit of the permanent works being commenced.

　　　10. Operations were commenced in June, and the removal of buildings in Taipingshan, Market, Upper Station, Square and Bridges Streets, and Tank Lane, was effected during the months of August, September and October.

11. An attempt was made to obtain satisfactory offers for the building material in July, 1895, C.S.O. 1781, but was unsuccessful. It was subsequently decided to sell the material by public auction, the first sale took place on the 25th July, 1895.

1896*

12. Subsequently, various sales at public auction took place till the 3rd March last, when I received instructions to cancel the sale advertised to take place on the 6th of that month, C.S.O. 447

13. On the 8th of April, I addressed the Government pointing out that the delay in getting the area rid of dangerous buildings was seriously interfering with the progress of the permanent works and I received authority to pull down certain buildings, burn the woodwork and stack the bricks

and stone, His Excellency the Governor stating that he supposed the bricks could be used by the Public Works Department, C.S.O. . Since this date the material has as far as possible been used in the building of retaining walls, &c., and arrangements are being made in Government contracts for the continuance of this course.

14. On the 12th of March, at a meeting of the Sanitary Board, the following resolution was passed:--

"Resumed Area.-A letter-which had been circulated to Members-having reference to the removal of building materials from the area in Taipingshan recently resumed by the Government, was laid on the table and the minutes on the circulating cover read."

"A discussion ensued."

"The President moved-

"1. That the Board is in possession of no evidence to warrant a belief that the material remaining in the resumed area of Taipingshan is infected with the Bubonic Plague bacillus. On the contrary in the opinion of the Board the statistics in its posses- sion prove conclusively that the steps taken to eradicate the bacillus from infected premises in 1894 have been attended with most satisfactory results."

"2. The Board, however, in view of the popular feeling on the subjeet, recommend that if further material is sold steps should be taken to burn as far as practicable all wood still remaining in the buildings."

"The Vice-President seconded."

Question-put and agreed to."

"The Honourable the Acting Captain Superintendant of Police and Mr. EDE did not vote."

COMMENCEMENT OF PERMANENT WORKS.

35

2582

15. On the 20th September, 1895, a contract No. 8, C.S.O. 883, was entered into with Mr. KANG ON for the construction of a storm-water drain from Hollywood Road to Caine Lane.

　　　16. The existing storin-water drain running diagonally across nearly the whole of the resumed area prevented, owing to its level, other portions of the improvement works to any great extent being proceeded with, as the disturbance of this drain pending adequate provision for the discharge of the storm-water from the hillside above the area, which was conducted by it through this portion of the city, would, during the heavy rainfalls so frequently experienced here, have probably involved much damage to and loss of property.

38

89

　　　17. On the 9th of October, a contract No. 8, C.S.O. 2778, was entered into with Mr. CHAN A TONG for the construction of the lower portion of Pound Lane and Taipingshan Street. This work involved the erection of heavy retaining walls along the frontages of the above streets.

　　　18. The completion of these contracts has been delayed owing to some extent to the rainfall experienced in the month of February and the stopping of the further demolition of buildings and removal of the material, C.S.O. 894. They are, however, now making satisfactory progress and will shortly be completed.

18

1596

1896.

19. A contract No. 8 has been entered into, C.S.O. 1878 and confidential C.S.O., for the construction of the permanent works involved in laying out of about one half the area, viz., Blocks A., D. and E., the time for the completion of this work under the contract expires in May

next.

　　　20. A further contract No. 1 has been advertised for the construction of the permanent works involved in laying out the area bounded by Market Street, Po Yan Street, Station Street and Pound Lane, viz., Blocks F. and K., C.S.O. 188, and the time for the completion of this work will expire about December next.

21. The necessary plans, specification and details for the laying out of the remaining portion of the area are in hand, but owing to the number of buildings and the quantity of material that still exist on the site, some progress will have to be made with the works included in the foregoing con- tracts before further work can be commenced.

22. The sum of $3,170 has been realised for the sale of certain building material.

23. Inland Lots 361 and 1356 have been restored to the original owners in lieu of the payment of compensation, C.S.O.'s 13 and 188; and Inland Lot No. 1356 has been sold for the sum of $1,585.50, annual Crown rent $32, C.S.O. 1838 and C.O.D. 211.

"

SIR,

(Secretary, Chamber of Commerce, to Colonial Secretary.)

HONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,

HONGKONG, 31st July, 1896.

This Chamber, naturally regardful of any question bearing on the pros- perity of the port, is anxious to see that no impost levied for a special object should be suffered thereafter to become a permanent charge on the shipping frequenting it.

When in reply to a question put by the Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD in the Legislative Council on the 8th instant the fact was elicited that the total sum received as the proceeds of the Special Gap Rock Lighthouse Rate from 1889 (date of levy) to the 30th June last was $358,521, while the amount expended during the same period for construction of lighthouse, laying of cable, and main- tenance was $315,935, showing a balance of $42,586 in hand, my Committee felt that the time had arrived to ask the Government to redeem the pledge made by Sir WILLIAM DES VEUX to abolish the extra tax of one and a half cents per ton on shipping.

It may perhaps be useful to quote, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the words used by his predecessor at the meeting of Council on the 11th December, 1889, when the Ordinance authorising this special addition to the Light Dues was passed. The following question, asked by Mr. MACEWEN, the then nominee of this Chamber, and the reply of Sir WILLIAM DES VEUX are taken from the shorthand report:-

(C

((

'Mr. MACEWEN-The discussion generally takes place on the second reading of Bills, but in a matter of this kind it would be satisfactory to "know the length of time it is intended to levy this increase, because, if "I recollect correctly, it was understood that the tax would only be "levied in order to pay for the actual cost of the Lighthouse and then "be withdrawn. Is that the understanding?

"His Excellency-Most distinctly. The cent will not raise $30,000, "and I think we will be very lucky if we get off for $120,000. It will "be called the Gap Rock Lighthouse Rate, and it will involve the special "sanction of the Legislative Council, and it will naturally cease when "the Gap Rock Lighthouse is paid off. As it is very inconvenient to "levy for a broken period of the year, I think, unless there is strong reason to the contrary, it would be advisable to have a meeting again "before the 1st January to pass this Bill. If you prefer a meeting at a "later date I am quite willing to agree to that. However, as the Council "has already practically agreed to this matter, there may be no objection "to suspend the Standing Orders and pass the Bill through all the stages "to-day."

"

1130

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896.

　　　The Bill was passed there and then, and, in reply to a request by Mr. RYRIE that Mr. MACEWEN's question and the reply thereto should be specially noted, Sir WILLIAM DES VEUX further said :---

"His Excellency-Of course this will be recorded, and I think it "will be just as well to mention in the minutes that Mr. MACEWEN drew "attention to the matter, and that I said that this extra rate was intend- "ed by me to be distinctly a payment for the Gap Rock Lighthouse and nothing else. Of course, when Mr. RYRIE talks of a promise, I must say it is absolutely impossible for me to bind my successor about any- thing. All I can say is that I have not the slightest intention to apply I "the rate for any other purpose. If a necessity arose for doing so, "should come to this Board and inform it of the fact."

(6

(6

　　　From these extracts it will be clear to His Excellency the Governor that Sir WILLIAM DES VEUX made an explicit pledge, so far as he was concerned, that when the purpose for which this Special Gap Rock Lighthouse Rate was levied had been achieved the impost would cease. This being the case beyond all cavil, my Committee confidently appeal to the Governor to carry out the expressed intentions of his predecessor in office, feeling sure that His Excellency's sense of justice will bind him to the fulfilment of the pledge given to the representative of this Chamber.

The tax of one cent per ton levied prior to 1889, and still imposed, on ship- ping, yields more than sufficient to provide for the upkeep and maintenance of all the lights, and the Committee therefore have the less hesitation in praying for the abolition of the Special Gap Rock Lighthouse Rate.

　　　Trusting that His Excellency will see his way to perform the pledge made by his predecessor without undue delay,

I have the honour to be,

SIR,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

1131

HONGKONG, 12th November, 1896.

I have the honour to forward, for the consideration of yourself and your colleagues the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council, the enclosed copy of a letter from the Chamber of Commerce suggesting that the Gap Rock Lighthouse Rate, which was first imposed in 1890, should be now abolished in accordance with my predecessor's promise which, however, he stated could not be binding on his

successor.

?????

The rate, if continued, is estimated to yield during the ensuing year about $65,000, and if this amount is withdrawn from the estimate of revenue for 1897 the latter will be exceeded by the estimated expenditure.

It is therefore necessary either that the rate should continue to be levied, or that the loss which would be entailed by its abolition should be made good from some other source of revenue.

:

I shall therefore be greatly obliged if you will be so good as to confer with your colleagues on the matter, and acquaint me with your and their views as to whether it is preferable to continue to levy light dues generally as at present (including the Gap Rock Rate), or to devise some alternative source of revenue in order to make good the deficiency which the abolition of light dues would entail.

In the event of your recommending that light dues should be abolished, I shall be glad to be favoured with your valuable advice as to the method by which you consider the deficit caused by such abolition may be met.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your despatch, No. 138G, of the 12th instant, enclosing a copy of a letter from the Chamber of Commerce, suggest- ing the abolition of the Gap Rock Lighthouse Rate, and asking for an expression of the opinion of my colleagues and myself as to whether it would be preferable to continue to levy the light dues as heretofore, or to devise some other means of covering the deficiency in the revenue entailed by the proposed abolition of these dues.

Permit me to inform your Excellency that your despatch was circulated among my colleagues, and the question was gone into at length at a meeting held yesterday.

The result of our deliberations was that we decided that, in order to come to a definite decision, it would be essential for us to have the Estimates for 1897 in our hands.

·

With reference to your Excellency's despatches, Nos. 138G and 141G, of the 12th and 19th instant respectively, I have the honour to inform you that the draft Estimates for 1897 were duly forwarded to the Unofficial Members of the Legis- lative Council for their perusal. The question of the abolition of the Gap Rock Lighthouse Rate was again discussed by them at a meeting held on the 25th instant, all being present, with the exception of Mr. BELL-IRVING, who had left the Colony. We are unanimous in considering that it is expedient for your Excellency to redeem the pledge given by your predecessor to the effect that this special rate should cease as soon as the cost of the Lighthouse had been defrayed.

As regards the covering of the deficit in the revenue resultant on its abolition, Messrs. Ho KAI, BELILIOS, WEI YUK and myself are of opinion that a fixed charge of 2 cents per ton should in future be imposed as light dues on all shipping entering the harbour, and in this we are joined by Mr. BELL-IRVING, who addressed a letter to me on the subject immediately before his departure. Mr. WHITEHEA does not concur in this proposal, and is addressing your Excellency directly on the subject.

MEMBERS OF COMMITTEE.

Committee appointed by His Excellency Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, K.C.M.G., Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same, to report on the condition of the Government Offices and the desirability of locating the various Government departments under one roof.

The Committee as originally appointed on the 8th September, 1894, was as follows:-

Honourable N. G. MITCHELL-INNES, Colonial Treasurer, Chairman. Honourable C. P. CHATER.

Honourable A. MCCONACHIE.

T. JACKSON, Esq.

REPORT.

To His Excellency

Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, K.C.M.G.,

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

Governor.

We, the Members of the Committee appointed by Your Excellency for the purpose of reporting on the condition of the present Government Offices and the advisability of locating the various Government departments under one roof, have the honour to report as follows.

PROCEEDINGS.

2. The Committee has held seven meetings, at which the general condition of the present Government Offices, their arrangement, and the accommodation both as regards extent and the facility it affords for the transaction of public business, were considered.

3. At an early stage of the proceedings the Committee formed the opinion that a change in the present arrangement of the Government Offices is desirable, but that it is not expedient that it should extend to the present Government Offices at St. John's Place, the Central Police Station, the Magistracy, the Gaol, Queen's College, the Botanical and Afforestation Department, or the Fire Brigade Station.

4 The heads of the various Government departments concerned have been addressed with a view to ascertaining the nature and extent of the accommodation in respect of the following departments, viz., the Supreme Court and Law Offices, the Treasury, the Registrar General's Department, the Public Works Department, the Land Office, the Local Auditor's Department, the Sanitary Department, and the Inspector of Schools.

1134

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896.

5. Projects have been considered with a view respectively to meeting the requirements of these departments in the existing buildings and for the erection of entirely new offices on the Praya Reclamation in the vicinity of the City Hall.

　　6. The question of the desirability of inviting competitive designs for new offices was also considered at Your Excellency's request (see. appendix A), and on the motion of Mr. CHATER, seconded by Mr. MCCONACHIE, it was decided by a majority of three (the Chairman and Mr. THOMSON not voting) that "the Com- mittee is in favour of inviting public competition and awarding a premium for the most suitable design and plans sent in."

The Chairman moved as an amendment that the plans and designs be pre- pared by the Public Works Department and submitted to a consulting architect in England for report and revision if desirable, but the amendment was not seconded.

　　Particulars and conditions of competition, which will be found in appendix B, were submitted by the Director of Public Works, adopted with some amend- ments, and forwarded for Your Excellency's consideration on the 15th May Tast.

CONDITION OF THE PRESENT GOVERNMEnt Offices.

7. The Committee has obtained from the Director of Public Works the follow- ing information respecting the present Government Offices and the suitability of their accommodation for the departments located in them.

8. Government Offices, St. John's Place. The present building was erected in 1848 at an approximate cost of ￡14,393 and is situated about 100 feet above sea level, approached by Battery Pathway leading off Queen's Road at Ice House St. The building consists of two floors, each containing thirteen rooms, and has

、 a massive verandah on the western side.

　　The ground floor is occupied by the Public Works Department and the upper floor by the Council Chamber, Colonial Secretary's Department, and the Local

Auditor.

　　The building is in a substantial state of repair and it is not anticipated that any exceptionally heavy expenditure will be necessary in the near future in order to maintain it in such a condition.

　　The accommodation provided for the Council Chamber, Colonial Secretary and Local Auditor appears adequate, but that provided on the ground floor for the Public Works Department is inadequate and badly arranged for the requirements of that department. The rooms are too small and insufficiently lighted.

　　9. The Supreme Court buildings consist of a two-storied building, the upper floor being devoted to the Courts, Registry and subsidiary offices, and the ground floor to the Land Office and Registrar General's Department.

　　The site on which they stand was obtained in 1847 from Messrs. DENT & Co. for the sum of ￡5,000, being then occupied by what were known as the "Exchange Buildings."

　　In 1848 certain alterations were made to the Exchange Buildings at a cost of ￡1,000 to render them fit for the purposes of a Court House.

In 1864 accommodation for the Registrar General's Department was provided in the north-east corner of the ground floor, but being found insufficient for the requirements of the department additions were carried out at a cost of $4,300.

　　In 1883 the Land Office, which had previously been attached to the Public Works Department, was transferred to this building.

From the foregoing account it will be seen that the buildings originally pur- chased in 1847 for the purpose of a Court House have undergone several extensive alterations and additions. The offices are now badly arranged, crowded on the site and ill ventilated, while those on the ground floor are also badly lighted.

　　Their general condition is such that a heavy expenditure on repairs will be necessary in the course of a few years if their occupation is to be continued.

　　The present accommodation is quite inadequate to meet the requirements of the Court and Registry, particularly the latter. By a recent arrangement the

1

1

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896. 1135

portion of the building previously occupied by the Attorney General and the Crown Solicitor has been placed at the disposal of the Postal Department, and offices have been rented elsewhere for those officers.

Post Office and Treasury.-The buildings, which had been erected in 1846, for a house for the Registrar General, on the site of the present Post Office and Treasury, and subsequently altered for the purpose of serving as a Post Office, were in 1864 found to be quite inadequate to meet the requirements of the Postal Department, it was therefore decided to pull them down and erect a new Post Office.

The present main buildings, which were completed in 1867 with certain additions and alterations carried out in 1884 and 1885, consist of a ground floor and basement occupied by the Post Office and an upper floor occupied by the Treasury Department.

The Post Office is badly lighted and ill ventilated and the Treasury Offices are inconveniently arranged.

The present buildings are about thirty years old and though the walls are still sound the renewal of the iternal fittings and woodwork throughout will shortly necessitate a considerable expenditure if the occupation of the building is continued.

The accommodation in the Post Office, in spite of the recent arrangement by which the offices of Attorney General and Crown Solicitor have been placed at the disposal of the department, is so cramped that there is not sufficient room to sort two heavy mails at the same time, while the space devoted to the business of the Parcels. Post is insufficient to secure the safe custody of parcels. In fact, the requirements of the Colony have entirely out-grown the accommodation at present available.

For the Treasury a Strong Room and a Stamp Room are required, also a large room, easily accessible to the public, for accountants and cashiers, and better accommodation for the clerks are greatly needed.

11. Harbour Office.-The present building consisting of two stories, erected in 1874, is in a fair state of repair, but the accommodation afforded is not equal to the present requirements.

On the completion of the New Reclamation Works now in progress the site will no longer have a sea frontage and the buildings do not admit of further ex- tension within the limits of the present site.

Having carefully considered the structural condition and the accommodation provided by the present Government Offices, and in view of the great difficulty of finding suitable accommodation for the several departments during the execution of such extensive repairs as most of these offices will shortly require, we consider it very desirable that the construction of new offices should be proceeded with at the earliest possible date.

THE DESIRABILITY OF LOCATING THE VARIOUS GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS

UNDER ONE ROOF.

12. It is desirable for many reasons that the several Government Offices should be situated close together, if possible under one roof, as much loss of time and inconvenience to the public would be thereby obviated, and business greatly facilitated.

Were it not for the fact that the present offices at St. John's Place are in a good structural condition, are suitably and conveniently situated for the meeting of Council, and the accommodation afforded for the Colonial Secretary's Depart- ment appears adequate, we should recommend that in any project for the erection of new buildings accommodation should be provided for that department.

13. The following statement shews the approximate accommodation at pre- sent provided, and what appears to be required for the Court House, Treasury, Registrar General, Post Office, and Public Works :-

14. The Public Works Stores are so intimately connected with the Public Works Offices that we have considered the condition of and accommodation afforded by the present buildings and yards.

　　　At present the stores are located in three separate buildings, viz., Crosby Store, No. 3A, Blue Buildings, and Wanchai Store.

　　　Crosby Store was originally purchased by the Military in 1857 and sold by them to the Colonial Government for $35,000. The portion facing Queen's Road was, until recently, occupied by the Education Department, but owing to its dilapid- ated condition had to be vacated in 1894 and offices are now rented elsewhere for this department.

　　　The remaining portions of the building are still used as Public Works Stores, but their dilapidated condition admits of their being used only to a very limited

extent.

　　　The Store at Blue Buildings consists of the upper floor of House No. 3a, Praya East and is rented from the Land Investment Company.

The Store at Wanchai is very limited in area and its construction is only of a temporary nature. It occupies a reclamation in front of Marine Lots 117 and

118 Praya East.

　　　We are of opinion that she present stores should be vacated and the whole of the stores located as far as practicable on the same premises. The area required is about 40,000 sq. ft.

15. In view of the foregoing facts we recommend :-

(4) That the present Government Offices at St. John's Place be retained,

the

upper floor being devoted as at present for the purposes of the Council Chamber, the Colonial Secretary's Department and the Local Auditor, and the ground floor placed at the disposal of the Sanitary Board and the Education Department.

(b) That new buildings be erected on the Government Reclamation in front of the City Hall for the various departments enumerated in the proposed particulars and conditions of competition. (Ap- pendix B.)

(c) That the Harbour Department be accommodated in a suitable build- ing to be erected on the new Reclamation in front of the present Harbour Office.

(d) That suitable premises be obtained for the purposes of a Public

Works Store.

18. In view of the Colonial Secretary's letter No. 1127 of the 16th July, 1896, enclosing an extract from a despatch from the Secretary of State, (Appendix C.), we have further considered the question of the financial ability of the Colony to meet the proposed expenditure. Owing to the various demands continually made on the ordinary revenue to meet expenditure on Extraordinary Public Works rendered necessary by the increasing trade and population of the Colony, we are of opinion that a special fund should be formed to meet the expenditure on the New Government Offices, and offer the following observations with regard to the formation of such a fund.

It is to be observed that consequent on the progress of the Reclamation Works very valuable building sites, other than those previously referred to, accrue to the Government, and the proceeds derived from the sale of such sites may fairly be considered extraordinary revenue as distinct from ordinary revenue, and be devoted to meet expenditure of an extraordinary nature. We are informed by the Colonial Treasurer that, generally speaking, the financial position of the Colony may be considered satisfactory and that it may reasonably be anticipated that the ordinary revenue will be sufficient to meet ordinary expenditure from year to year.

We would therefore suggest that the premia derived from the sale of land on the Reclamation should be devoted to the purpose of forming a special fund to` meet the expenditure on new Government Offices, leaving the annual Crown Rent and assessed taxes to be carried to the ordinary revenue.

The sites on the Reclamation to which we refer are Marine Lot 278, the site north of Marine Lot 276, the site opposite Marine Lot 63, and that opposite the Sailors' Home, and it is estimated that they will realise at public auction during the next few years from $570,000 to $600,000.

I

We have the honour to be,

SIR,

Appendix A.

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 20th September, 1895.

　　I am directed by the Governor to enquire when the report of the Committee appointed by His Excellency the Governor in September of last year to consider the question of new Government Offices may be expected.

2. His Excellency's attention has been directed to certain references to the proceedings of the Committee which have appeared at intervals in the Local Press, but is not aware how far the views therein attributed to the Committee are correctly stated.

　　3. As the matter is a pressing one and an early decison in regard to the pre- liminaries is desirable, I am to request that the Committee will be good enough to report at its early convenience, and, in view of the recent statements in the Press, with special reference to the following points :-

(1) Whether the Committee is in favour of the plans, &c. being prepared by the Director of Public Works, and, if so, whether it will be sufficient for such plans to be approved in the first instance by the Committee and subsequently by the Public Works Committee of the Legislative Council, or whether they should be submitted to a competent authority at home, or

(2) Whether the Committee is in favour of inviting public competition, and awarding a premium for the most suitable plans and designs for the proposed new buildings.

　　4. Should the Committee be in favour of the latter course it will be necessary to consider-

(a) The amount of the premium to be offered.

(b) The terms of competition.

(c) The appointment of an Umpire at home, or of a local Committee to adjudge upon the competitive designs, and I am to request that

the Committee will bear these points in mind in drawing up their

report.

　　5. I am further to invite the attention of the Committee to the financial side of the question. It will not be possible at present to defray any large expenditure on the proposed new buildings from current revenue, and if the work is not to be delayed it will apparently be necessary to raise funds from some independent

source.

His Excellency the Governor would therefore be obliged if the Committee would further consider and report on the desirability and practicability of disposing of the sites, buildings, &c. of the present Government Offices in Queen's Road at as early a date as possible, the Government to remain in occupation as tenants until the completion of the new buildings.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

SIR,

HONGKONG, 28th September, 1895.

I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 1914 of the 20th instant, and to inform you, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, that it was the subject of discussion at a meeting of the Public Office Committee held on the 24th instant.

2. The Committee were unanimous in the opinion that it could not accept any responsibility whatever in connection with the references to its proceedings that have appeared in the public press, and that they would not for a moment think of adopting the local press as a medium of communicating its proceedings to His Excellency the Governor.

I am further to add that the Committee expressed itself very strongly on the necessity of members abstaining from disclosing any of its proceedings in future.

3. In reply to the questions asked in paragraphs 3 and 4 I enclose an extract from the proceedings.

4. As regards the financial side of the question, the Committee are of opinion that it is premature to advise on any definite course pending the receipt of plans and estimates and further information as to the probable annual expenditure to be met and the balances available for such a purpose from current revenue.

5. The Committee were, however, unanimously of opinion that it was undesir- able to dispose of the existing Government buildings and sites at present, and that such a course should be avoided pending the completion of the new buildings, if possible.

6. It will be observed from the enclosed extract of the proceedings that the majority of the Committee are in favour of a competition and that the rules and regulations affecting such competition should be prepared by the Director of Public Works for the consideration of the Committee.

7. On receipt of such draft rules and regulations the Committee hope to be able to report on its proceedings as a whole at an early date.

Note.-Mr. MCCONACHIE suggested that the words "in future" in the second half of the second paragraph of the Secretary's letter of the 28th September should be omitted, as they might imply that the Com- mittee had disclosed its proceedings in the past. The majority of the Committee approved the draft with the words included.

SIR,

I am directed to forward the enclosed notice prepared by the Director of Public Works, inviting competitive designs for the proposed New Government Offices, and to request that the Committee will be so good as to consider the conditions of competition and report whether they approve of them, and also to state in what manner they deem it desirable to provide for the estimated cost of the construction of the New Offices.

With regard to the question of premia, His Excellency the Governor approves of the three premia suggested by Mr. CHATER at the meeting of the Committee on the 24th September, viz.:-

$2,000 for the best design.

$1,000 for the second best design.

The Committee further considered if any exceptional steps should be taken to meet the cost of the proposed project, and in view of the letter addressed to the Chairman by the Colonial Treasurer, copy attached, the Members were unani- mously of opinion that no exceptional steps appear necessary at present.

I am to add that the Committee recommend that the notice inviting designs. should be inserted in the Singapore and Shanghai papers.

SIR,

TREASURY, 10th April, 1896.

I have the honour to inform you that I am unavoidably prevented from attending the meeting of the Government Offices Committee this afternoon.

As far as I can judge the proposed conditions for competition will do.

As regards the financial aspect I anticipate a considerable surplus of revenue over ordinary expenditure this year and see no reason why it should not be repeated next year.

I do not think, therefore, that there is any necessity for making special arrangements about the financing.

Extract from Colonial Office despatch No. 126 of 5th June, 1896.

With reference to your despatch No. 111 of the 28th April last and to my telegram of the 3rd instant, I have the honour to inform you that before sanctioning the proposed erection of New Government Buildings at Hongkong, I desire to receive further information as to the necessity for the Buildings, and to be more fully satisfied, than I now am, as to the financial ability of the Colony to meet the expenditure out of current revenue.

I request you therefore to forward to me the Report of the Committee, which considered the question of the Government Offices, together with any further explanations you may wish to give.

　　　　As regards the financial position of the Colony, I should be glad to know the precise grounds upon which the Acting Colonial Treasurer confidently anticipates that the ordinary expenditure of the current year will be largely exceeded by the Revenue, in view of the fact that the Estimates sent home in December last only show a surplus of $6,500. It appears, moreover, from the Returns forwarded in your despatch No. 92 of the 14th April last, that the Revenue last year fell con- siderably short of the Expenditure (excluding Expenditure charged to the Loan), and that at the end of the year there was an actual excess of Liabilities over Assets, which was only met by temporarily appropriating for general purposes the balance of the 1893 Loan. I gather, however, that this state of affairs was largely due to the special expenditure on the Taipingshan Resumption Scheme, which will, in part at least, be ultimately recouped.

The following Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the working and organization of the Tung Wa Hospital, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 3rd instant, is published. By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 4th December, 1896.

REPORT

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

BY

The Chairman (Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART), Honourable A. M. THOMSON, and the Honourable Ho KAI.

We, the undersigned Members of the Commission, appointed by Your Excellency on the 5th day of February, 1896, to enquire into the working and organization of the Tung Wa Hospital, have the honour to forward herewith the evidence taken by us and our opinion thereon.

2. We examined 14 witnesses and held 9 meetings covering a period from the 14th February to the 2nd July.

3. In accordance with the terms of the Commission we instituted an enquiry into "Whether the Hospital the first matter specially referred to us for investigation, viz., is fulfilling the object and purpose of its Incorporation."

4. To be able to answer this question, it was considered desirable, in the first instance, to ascertain exactly for what object and purpose the Hospital was established, and this necessitated an enquiry into the steps which led up to the foundation of the Hospital.

5. From the Memorandum of Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL and the other papers printed in Appendix III. it appears that in 1869 the attention of the Government was called to the gross abuses and disgusting scenes in a Chinese institution or temple called the "I Ts'z." This institution seems to have been erected in the year 1851, its original object being stated as follows in a petition translated by Mr. (afterwards Sir THOMAS) WADE :-

"Petition that a piece of ground be granted to certain Chinese to build a common ancestral Chinese temple. People of other nations and persua- sions have had similar grants; but the Chinese who frequent the Colony being workmen, servants and the like, if they die here have no temple in which their ancestral tablets may be placed. Many of them come from a distance and if, when they died here, there was a temple to receive their tablets, their fellow-villagers or connections visiting Hong- kong could carry them home. They have subscribed funds and have appointed T'ONG CHIU and TAM A-TIM to the direction of what be

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　may. requisite."

6. In addition, however, to being used as a receptacle or depot for ancestral tablets, the "I Ts'z" developed into a kind of native hospital to which Chinese were taken in a moribund condition. A description of this dying-house is given by Mr. LISTER and Mr. STEWART, who visited it in 1869. The former states :-"I visited this native hospital, and found a picture of neglect and misery which I shall not soon forget. At my first visit there were, dead and alive, about nine or ten

patients in the so-called hospital. One, apparently dying from emaciation and diarrhoea, was barricaded into a place just large enough to hold the... board on which he lay, and not high enough to stand up in. Another room contained a boarding on which lay two poor creatures half-dead, and one corpse, while the floor, which was of earth, was covered with pools of urine. The next room contained what the attendants asserted to be two corpses, but on examination one of them was found to be alive, a fact which the coolie who discovered it greeted with an oath, and other rooms contained miserable and emaciated creatures, unable to speak or move, whose rags had apparently never been changed since their admission, and whom the necessities of nature had reduced to an inexpressibly sickening condition."

7. Mr. STEWART states :-" I quite agree with everything, Mr. LISTER has said. It is impossible for me to convey in words the impression made on me by a picture of filth, misery, and neglect which I did not expect to find even in China."

8. Another eye-witness describes it as follows:-

"The 'I Ts'z' consists of two small rooms, which are in the foulest condition. Sometimes as many as thirty patients are huddled together in it. There is not, as there could not possibly be, any classification of patients. Those who are afflicted with the most contagious disease lie side by side with those who are ill, may be, from old

age."

　9.. The Governor took prompt steps to put an end to the disgraceful state of affairs at the "I Ts'z" and in a few days after his first visit Mr. LISTER was able to report that "the horrors of the 'I Ts'z' exist no longer." The better class of Chinese were, according to the Governor, much ashamed of the very public expose in connection with the "I Ts'z," and the opportunity was thought to be a good one for reviving a plan, which had been mooted before, for the establishment of a Chinese hospital "to meet," as the Governor states in his despatch No., 726 of the 21st June, 1869, "certain Chinese special wants and prejudices which are not provided for by the existing Civil Hospital- as may be seen by last year's returns which shew admissions of Europeans and Indians to the Civil Hospital to have been 934, against 223 Chinese" out of a population of 100,000 .Chinese. And in the same despatch to Lord GRANVILLE, Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL continues :-" Your Lordship may hence infer the large aggregate of misery, wretchedness and disease which must be either wholly or inadequately cared for in this city; and I believe there is no effective remedy for such an evil except inducing the Chinese, as I am doing, to build a suitable hospital and refuge, open to European surveillance but under Chinese management and direction, so that there may be no such reluctance to go there in the minds of the natives as that which generally prevents their voluntarily going to the Civil Hospital."

.:

　10. The idea of establishing a native hospital was taken up warmly by the leading Chinese residents and in August 1869 the Governor was able to report to the Secretary of State that the subscription list circulated amongst the Chinese amounted to $30,000. In the despatch forwarding this report a petition from the Chinese was enclosed which shows clearly on what conditions they understood the new hospital was to be established. They state:"Now one of the regulations agreed upon on a former occasion in con- nection with the hospital says-

'The general conduct of affairs and the framing of regulations will devolve on the Chinese, in whose hands the management will be.' This regula- tion was submitted to and approved of by His Worship, and, at a personal interview, petitioners had the honour to receive his sanction to leaving the framing of regulations and the management of affairs in the hands of the Chinese, so long as they kept the place cleanly and in good order."

#

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896. 1449

In the same petition it is stated :-

"Once more, the customs of the Chinese are as different as possible from those of the English, and if it is according to English principles that the hospitals are to be conducted, why should petitioners defray expenses and take the trouble of building another? (when there is an English hospital already)."

11. The difficulties raised in this petition were overcome, and Earl GRANVILLE in November, 1869, expressed his entire satisfaction at the effective and judicious measures adopted by the Governor in relation to the Hospital. In 1870 an Ordinance incorpor- ating the Hospital was passed, and on the 14th February, 1872 the Governor assisted at the ceremony of declaring the Hospital open. In the final paragraph of his despatch to the Secretary of State, containing an account of that ceremony, he stated:-" On the whole I can conscientiously say that I look forward with cheerfulness and hope to the future of the Hospital, and feel thankful that I have been permitted to take so leading a part in extracting finally so much good from the original abuses, which disgraced the 'I Ts'z' Hospital and led to the present important undertaking which your Lordship and Earl GRANVILLE have done so much to countenance and promote.

From a careful perusal of the correspondence from which extracts have been made above, it appears clear that the hospital was erected in place of, and to prevent a recur- rence of the abuses connected with the disgraceful "I Ts'z"; that it was established to receive moribund and sick Chinese, more especially those in indigent circumstances; that the conduct of the affairs of the hospital and the framing of regulations for its guidance were to devolve on the Chinese who were to be responsible for the management; that the treatment was to be conducted according to Chinese methods and not according to English principles, (otherwise in view of the existence of the Civil Hospital there was no reason for the erection of a Chinese Hospital); and that the hospital was intended to induce Chinese to make use of the institution instead of allowing the Chinese sick and destitute to die in their own houses and to meet certain Chinese special wants and prejudices not provided for by the Civil Hospital.

"3

13. The objects and purposes of the institution are embodied in Ordinance No. 3 of 1870, "An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, for establishing a Chinese Hospital to be supported by voluntary contributions, and for erecting the same into an eleemosynary Corporation.' In section 3 of that Ordinance it is laid down "that the Corporation is erected for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a public free hospital for the treatment of the indigent sick among the Chinese population, to be supported by voluntary contributions. Provided nevertheless that it shall be lawful for the Board of Direction to admit any Chinese patients into the said Hospital upon payment of such charges and upon such conditions as may be specified in and by any regulations to be hereafter made."

　14. Having carefully examined the history of the foundation of the hospital, having considered the correspondence in which the objects for establishing the institution are clearly laid down, and having heard the witnesses who are able to speak on the subject, we are of opinion that the hospital is fulfilling the object and purpose of its Incorporation. In this connection the evidence of the Colonial Surgeon (Dr. AYRES) is very important. He has been acquainted with the Hospital from the second year of its opening and has visited it constantly ever since, and he states :-" The Chinese Committee has obeyed the contract regarding the management of the Hospital." In answer to the following question by the Chairman:--"In your opinion the Committee has carried out the spirit of the Ordinance ?"--he replied "Yes; I have read the whole of the correspondence with Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL, and am well acquainted with the stipulations. The Chinese said if you are going to insist on treating the cases upon English principles you had better not call upon us to go on with the proposal to establish the Tung Wa and should content yourselves with extending the European hospital."

15. To what extent the Hospital is carrying on its work of treating the indigent sick may be seen on reference to Appendix IX. which contains a statement showing the number of patients admitted into the Tung Wa Hospital from 1891 to 1895 inclusive. From this statement it will be seen that during 5 years there were 10,806 male in- patients or a yearly average of 2,161; 1,952 female in-patients or a yearly average of 390; 530,781 male out-patients or a yearly average of 106,156; 272,278 female out- patients or a yearly average of 54,455. All these patients were non-paying patients, the number of private paying patients from 1891 to 1895 amounting to 106 males and 47 females.

16. But in addition to treating the indigent sick the Hospital also performs other charitable functions. It provides free burial for the poor and maintains a cemetery in which the poor are buried. It vaccinates free of charge not only in the City of Victoria but also in the out-lying villages of the Colony, to which vaccinators are despatched at fixed periods. Until recently it afforded accommodation for women and girls rescued by the Po Leung Kuk or Society for the Protection of Women and Girls, and it still continues to provide food for those women and girls. It houses and feeds male desti- tutes and defrays the cost of sending them to their native homes.

17. A reference to Appendix VII. will show the careful and precise manner in which the records of the Hospital are kept..

18. As to the finances of the Hospital, we consider that they have been well managed, and that the investments of certain funds of the Hospital in house property have been made with great judgment.

19. From the report of the Acting Colonial Treasurer (Mr. THOMSON) it appears that the Government grant to the Tung Wa Hospital amounted to $115,000. Out of that total amount a sum of $90,000 was placed in the Bank, the remainder having been expended on building. In 1875 a sum of $21,200 and subsequently other sums were withdrawn for investment in house property, leaving a balance on deposit of $34,000.

20. A valuation of the house properties purchased by the Hospital for a total of $86,000 has been kindly made for the Commission by Mr. SHELTON HOOPER, Secretary of the Land Investment Company. He values the properties now owned by the Tung Wa, Hospital at $215,265.32 or nearly three times more than they originally cost the Hospital. We consider those responsible for these investments are to be congratulated on such a successful result. As regards the rents now obtained by the Hospital from their properties, we are of opinion that they are fair and reasonable. We think it would be an improvement if the accounts of the Hospital were kept in the currency of the Colony instead of as at present in taels, etc.

21. It is contended by Mr. CHATER and Mr.. WHITEHEAD that the annual accounts of the Hospital should be audited by Government Officers in accordance with clause 151 of Ordinance 3 of 1870, and with the terms of Governor Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL'S despatch to Lord KIMBERLEY of the 19th February, 1872, in which he writes as follows:--

"I need only add that a vigilant supervision is intended to be maintained over the accounts and expenditure by Auditors appointed by Government, and who at present are the Registrar General for the time being and the Superintendent of the Central Schools."

The other members of the Commission do not consider such an audit necessary for the following reasons.

Monthly accounts are circulated among members of the Corporation, are posted in conspicuous places, and are sent to the Registrar General. The annual accounts are audited by an auditor chosen by lot from members of the Corporation who have served on the Committee, are always carefully examined by the Committee elected each year, who

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896. 1151

will not take them over unless they are in order, and are submitted to the Government and published in English and Chinese in the Government Gazette. The Government grant to the hospital has always been supervised by the Government and no investments have been made from it without the previous sanction of the Government.

22. In Appendix XVII. will be found a petition from the Directors of the Tung Wa Hospital praying that $20,000 may be granted from the $34,000 deposited in the Bank in order to meet certain extraordinary expenses incurred by the Hospital in connection with the plague and in improving the Hospital buildings. We consider their request a reasonable one and recommend it to the favourable consideration of the Government.

23.. From the evidence of Mr. Lo CHI-TIN, a former Chairman of the Tung Wa Hospital Directors, it appears that there has been some difficulty in obtaining the usual subscrip- tions from some of the Guilds. A list of these Guilds is given in Appendix XVIII. and we recommend that steps should be taken to point out to these Guilds how necessary it is, if the Hospital is to be continued in a satisfactory manner, that subscriptions should be paid regularly.

24. As regards the sanitary maintenance of the hospital the evidence before the Commission somewhat varies. Looking, however, to the evidence of Mr. MCCALLUM, Mr. LEIGH, Dr. CLARK, Surgeon-Colonel EVATT, and Dr. AYRES, and speaking from our own experience of the Hospital, extending in the case of some of the members of the Commission over many years, we are of opinion that the Hospital has been and is maintained in a fairly sanitary condition. A reference to the evidence of Mr. LEigh will show what improvements have already been effected as regards lavatory, cloth- ing, and store accommodation. In answer to the question: "Is the Hospital kept

?

in a good condition?" Mr. LEIGH states:-"The Hospital has always been kept clean. I speak from sixteen years' experience of it." Surgeon-Colonel EVATT is inclined to think the Hospital compares not unfavourably with the Indian hospitals, and in reply to the question: "With regard to your visits to the Hospital, did you find it clean ?" he replies:-"I think so.' And further on being asked-"Apart from clothing, did you think the Hospital clean ?" He states:-"Considering my Indian experience, I should say it was.

　　　　Even Dr. LowsON, who is in favour of the abolition of the Tung Wa Hospital, admits that it is better than it used to be.

""

""

25. The drainage of the Hospital has been thoroughly overhauled and is now in a satisfactory condition.

26. As to the existing wards of the Hospital Mr. LEIGH states that "These two wards are as good as you can wish for in any hospital. They are well built, well lighted, well ventilated;" and Dr. AYRES in his letter of the 22nd June states :-"In accordance with your request I inspected the Tung Wa Hospital on Friday, the 19th instant, and was pleased to note the improvement made in the wards by the removal of the cubical screens, as I recommended in my Annual Report for 1894. This is an improvement to all the large wards for medical cases. These wards are now well ventilated and can be kept clean, but constant supervision will be necessary to see that this is done."

27. Having given our reasons for our opinion that the Hospital is fulfilling the objects and purposes of its Incorporation and is in a sanitary condition, we now proceed to consider the second point of reference to the Commission, viz., "whether the Commission can suggest or recommend any matter or thing by which the present organization and administration of the Hospital can be improved or carried on more effectively." Various recommendations in the direction of improvement have been made by different witnesses. Dr. ATKINSON is in favour of abolishing the Tung Wa Hospital, but with his view we do not agree. What would be the effect of such abolition is clearly indicated by the Colonial Surgeon, Dr. AYRES, when asked to state his opinion as to what would be the result upon the general health of the Colony if the Tung Wa were

1152 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896.

abolished. "It would," he states, "mean a more rapid mortality among the Chinese; and we would have much more trouble in verifying cases of infectious disease. Plague cases, fever and other cases of infectious disease would not be brought to the Tung Wa Hospital as at present; the people would die in their own houses, and although we would find plague corpses, we would find very few cases." And again he states:- "the Hospital is a benefit so long as we can supervise the people who come in; many cases of plague, typhoid fever and small-pox have been verified there, and removed and segregated for proper treatment."

Mr. MCCALLUM, when asked what he thought would be the result of the abolition of the Tung Wa Hospital, stated that "probably you would have dead-houses re-established,' such as the "I Ts'z", to which reference has been made at the beginning of this report, "and that, in a great many instances patients would prefer to die in their houses rather "than go to the Civil Hospital."

}

28. But though we are in favour of the retention of Tung Wa Hospital we think that certain improvements might be effected as regards its staff, structural arrangements, and sanitary maintenance.

29. With respect to its staff, we are of opinion that a Chinese trained in Western medical science should be appointed by the Government to reside at the Hospital chiefly for the purpose of furnishing correct returns of deaths occurring there. It is absolutely necessary in the interests of the health of the public that the Government should be fur- nished with mortality statistics which can be accepted as accurate. We are of opinion that such statistics cannot be supplied by the Chinese doctors of the Hospital, and we therefore consider that a properly qualified Chinese should be appointed and paid by the Government in order that it may be supplied with reliable mortality returns. In addi- tion to being responsible for these returns this officer should also assist the Colonial Surgeon, as Mr. U I-KAI now does, when he inspects the patients in the receiving ward, which ward should, in our opinion, be retained, and should aid the Justices of the Peace when they pay their visits of inspection. Complaints have been made of the absence of any one on the staff of the Hospital acquainted with English who is able to interpret. The appointment of such an officer as we propose will supply the want of proper interpreta- tion. In recommending this appointment we desire it to be clearly understood that the officer appointed is not to interfere in any way with the treatment of the patients unless requested by the patients or native doctors to give the benefit of his advice and assistance. If this is clearly understood and if the appointment be made by the Government, we are of opinion, judging from the evidence of Mr. KU FAI-SHAN, Mr. WEI YUK, Mr. Ho AMEI and Mr. Lo CHI-TIN, that there will be no objection to the appointment on the part of the subscribers to the Hospital.

30. In addition to the appointment of a Chinese trained in Western medical science, whose salary should in our opinion, as we have stated, be defrayed by Government, see- ing that it is entirely in the interests of the health of the public that we regard the creation of such an office as necessary, we recommend that a Chinese of good standing be appointed Steward of the Hospital who, acting under the orders of the Hospital Committee and in co-operation with the Sanitary Board, should be held responsible for the sanitary mainten- ance of the Hospital buildings and drainage, for the cleanliness of the patients, their bedding and clothing, for the proper carrying out of the conservancy system, for the proper ventilation of the wards and for the other details which a Stewand of a hospital has usually to supervise. This officer should be placed at the head of the working staff of the Hospital (not, of course, including the native doctors), and it should be part of his functions to see that the other members of the staff, whose duties should be clearly defined, and whose pay should be such as to attract reliable men, perform the work assigned to them regularly and efficiently. We consider that a salary

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　salary high enough to secure the services of a suitable person should be paid, and that it would be preferable, if possible,

A

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896.

to engage some one who has already had experience of hospitals either in this Colony or elsewhere. The Steward should live in the Hospital and be provided with suitable quarters.

31. We also agree with Surgeon-Colonel EVATT that it would be a good thing to obtain Chinese trained in nursing to look after the patients. We are aware of the difficul- ties in this direction, but we are of opinion that if no such Chinese can be obtained at once, immediate steps should be taken to have Chinese trained for the purpose, who should be sufficiently well remunerated to induce them to undertake the work. We observe that on the

　present staff of the Hospital there are two female attendants, who have not been specially trained as nurses. In view of the prejudice among the Chinese against the nursing of females by males, we recommend that an endeavour be made to obtain Chinese women who are willing to learn to nurse and who should be trained under the Matron of the Civil Hospital. We feel sure that if this can be arranged-and though there may be difficulties at the start, we see no reason why they should not be overcome as has been done at the Alice Memorial Hospital-the comfort and welfare of the female patients in the Hospital will be greatly increased and ameliorated.

32. With regard to the structural arrangements of the Hospital it appears from the evidence given to the Commission that many improvements have been effected recently and that there is no disinclination on the part of the management of the Hospital to still further improve the Hospital buildings. The only difficulty appears to be want of funds. In that direction we think that the Hospital should receive whatever help is possible from Government. There is a balance of $34,000 belonging to the Hospital on deposit in the Bank. The Committee has already applied for $20,000 to defray the cost of expenditure in connection with the plague and of improvements already effected in the buildings. This would leave a balance of $14,000 which, we think, might very properly be devoted to the completion of the lavatories, etc., for the North block, to the construction of a new ward to take the place of the present surgical ward, which all the medical witnesses examined by us declare to be unsuitable, and to erecting suitable quarters for the staff of the Hospital.

33. With respect to the Ko Fong wards originally erected for the purpose of housing small-pox patients, we understand that the Committee has already decided to reconstruct them for the purpose of housing destitutes, for whom there has hitherto been no suitable accommodation in the Hospital. "We are of opinion that the Hospital Committee should be encouraged to take charge of destitutes as they have hitherto done, for they are able to make arrangements for returning them to their native homes more speedily and more effectively than could be done by any other organization. If the further structural improvements recommended by us are carried out, and if the Ko Fong wards are reconstructed, we are of opinion that so far as structural arrangements are concerned the Hospital will be in a satisfactory condition.

34. As to the sanitary arrangements of the Hospital, we think the Hospital should be inspected daily and more than once, if necessary, by an officer of the Sanitary Board.

35. We recommend that water-carriage should be introduced generally, as suggested by Mr. MCCALLUM, to take the place of the present system of hand-carriage, that bedpans should be used when necessary, and that commodes should be abolished.

We beg to call special attention to the following paragraph in Mr. MCCALLUM'S report of the 18th January last :-

"With regard to the conservancy, I am quite satisfied that the only satisfactory method in any hospital is the water carriage system. Excretal matters in hospitals are nearly always infective and consequently the speedy and complete removal of them is a matter of the first importance. This can only be effectually carried out by adopting the water carriage system. I mentioned this to the Directors and they expressed themselves as being

1153

1154

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896.

in favour of it, but it is probable the initial cost of erecting the necessary apparatus may cause them to alter their opinion, although I do not think it will. Be that as it may, it should be insisted on. The storage for twenty-four hours of infected excretal matters and their subsequent removal through the streets cannot be done without danger to the community."

36. We also think it would be an improvement if the wards were warmed, as sug- gested by the same witness, by placing a stove in the middle of the ward instead of having, as at present, a small fire-place at the end of each ward.

37. Provision should be made on the upper floors for slop sinks, to the absence of which the Medical Officer of Health (Dr. CLARK) has called attention.

38. In order to prevent overcrowding we recommend that a board be suspended in each ward and room stating the number of persons each ward and room is allowed to contain without infringing the law.

39. As to bedding we think coverlets or quilted bedding should be abandoned for blankets as recommended by Dr. AYRES and Surgeon-Colonel EVATT. The latter witness informed the Commission that coverlets were formerly used in India, but that blankets have now taken their place. It is almost impossible to keep coverlets clean whereas blankets can be washed from time to time. Care should also be taken to have the mats on which patients sleep renewed when necessary. With respect to the clothing of patients definite rules should be laid down that it, as well as the bedding, should be changed once or twice a week. We are also of opinion that it should be made a rule of the Hospital that every patient on admission should, when possible, have a bath before being supplied with a clean suit of hospital clothing.

40. With regard to the removal of patients to the Civil Hospital who are not willing to go of their own accord, we strongly deprecate resort to anything in the shape of com- pulsion. At the same time the following suggestion of Dr. AYRES, if acted upon with tact, may lead to good results:-

"I would also suggest that the Visiting Surgeon should daily report on the surgical cases admitted which he considers stand a fair chance of recovery "or relief, if removed to a European hospital, that if possible they may "be removed for treatment to the Government Civil Hospital or Alice "Memorial Hospital if arrangements could be made with that institution. "As the attendance there is almost wholly Chinese, they might have less "objection to removal."

41. At present there is in existence a list of infectious diseases drawn up by the Sani- tary Board and embodied in Bye-laws approved by the Legislative Council on the 25th November, 1895. Persons suffering from these diseases are taken to the hospital for infectious diseases to prevent the danger of the spread of infection. Dr. ATKINSON and Dr. AYRES have recommended that certain diseases which do not now appear on that list should be included. We consider this is a matter deserving careful consideration and recommend that the list should be revised.

42. Dr. ATKINSON has called our attention to the fact that patients are discharged from the Tung Wa Hospital before being thoroughly cured. In the case of infectious diseases discharge before cure would evidently be a danger to the health of the public. But if the list of infectious diseases is so revised as to include the diseases which Dr. ATKINSON has especially enumerated, there is not much likelihood of the danger referred to occurring. If a person is not suffering from an infectious disease and desires to leave hospital, we do not see under what authority he can be detained.

43. Misunderstandings have arisen occasionally regarding cases which the Tung Wa Committee has refused to admit into hospital. On enquiry the Committee almost

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5?H DECEMBER, 1896. 1155

invariably reports that the case was an incurable one, the admission of which is not, very properly we think, allowed by the Hospital regulations. If incurables were granted admission the Tung Wa Hospital would soon be filled with the incurables of the Kwang Tung Province. To prevent misunderstanding we recommend that in future the Tung Wa Committee be requested to send all such cases, if the patients are willing to go, to the Civil Hospital for such action as the Colonial Surgeon may deem advisable. If the patient be unwilling to go, the Committee should notify the Colonial Surgeon.

44. We recommend that the monthly meetings of the Committee of the Hospital with the Registrar General and Colonial Surgeon and the daily inspections of the latter officer be continued.

45. We are of opinion that the Committee of the Hospital elected annually by the subscribers to carry on the work of the Hospital has, as a rule, discharged zealously and efficiently the duties entrusted to it and deserves commendation for the charitable work which it performs and to which it devotes much time and attention, though the members are invariably business men much occupied with their own commercial concerns. At the same time we think that it would be of advantage to the Hospital, would facilitate its relations with the Government and the public, and would secure continuity and uniformity in its arrangements, if there were associated with the annually elected Committee some Chinese residents of long standing who have had experience of the Hospital and whose advice would be respected by, and whose views would carry weight with, the Chinese community.

46. In conclusion, we think it only right to state that, in our opinion, the Tung Wa Hospital has done excellent work in the past and that, if the improvements we have recommended are adopted, it will be able in the future to continue its good work with still greater efficiency and with increased benefits to the indigent suffering Chinese for whose welfare the Hospital was established.

We have the honour to be,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896.

REPORT BY THE HONOURABLE C. P. CHATER.

With one sole exception I fully concur with the opinions set forth in the report drawn up by Messrs. STEWART LOCKHART, THOMSON and HO KAI, but this I consider to be of such importance that I feel it incumbent on me to make some remarks upon the subject.

In my opinion, when we consider the question as to whether the Tung Wa Hospital fulfils the object and purpose of its incorporation, it should be remembered that this institution performs two functions; as a benevolent and charitable organization, and hospital for the treatment and cure of the sick, and it should be studied in both aspects.

As a charitable organization, I admit at once that its work has been an admitable one: it has provided an asylum for the destitute, a refuge for the dying, and a burial for the dead, thereby averting the horrors that would have ensued, as we may gather from what has been said by Dr. AYRES and Mr. MCCALLUM, had paupers been permitted to die in the dens where they had lived. It has done much to promote vaccination, and used to house, and still continues to feed, the women and girls under the protection of the Po Leung Kuk.

Unstinted praise is its due for such works as these, but when we turn to the actual hospital, the healing work, we find a condition of affairs which is far less satisfactory.

We find doctors who have never been to any medical college, for apparently there are none in China to go to, whose only test of knowledge is to be able to write a thesis on some subject to be approved of by their colleagues in the Hospital, who permit men to die because they will not or cannot perform a simple operation, and in Dr. ATKINSON'S words" admit that they have no surgical knowledge, and cannot be responsible for "the surgical enormities which have been and still will be carried on there, if they are "allowed to treat such cases." We find too the horrible custom of herding the most foully diseased with their less afflicted fellow-patients, with the natural results; and in fact almost every law of hygiene slighted.

Such a state of things, I venture to say, should not exist in a British Colony, and in an institution partly supported by the Government of that Colony.

I am well aware that if any attempt were made to introduce Western methods under Government supervision, such a step would mean withdrawal of all subscriptions at present contributed by the Chinese guilds, and it would only be with great reluctance that their representatives would consent to serve on the Committee.

I do not therefore advocate such a course, but I am convinced that there should be among the "doctors" of the Hospital at least one Chinaman who has received a training in Western schools, not merely to serve as a registrar and interpreter, but who would make it his business to quietly and gradually introduce their systems, and thus, very slowly perhaps, but surely, would pave the way for the appreciation and adoption of our methods of healing.

The question is one for the Government to settle, and I have no desire to seem to dictate, but personally I am convinced that this is the only way of making the Tung Wa a practical hospital. I need only point to the example of India, where in spite of the added difficulties of religious scruples and race hatreds, natives of every creed and nation come willingly to be treated in the Western fashion.

REPORT

ON

THE TUNG WA HOSPITAL

TEST

BY

The Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD.

HONGKONG, 17th October, 1896.

　I regret that I am unable to concur in its entirety in the Report of the majority of the Commission appointed by His Excellency the, Governor on 5th February, 1896, to enquire into the working and organization of the Tung Wa Hospital, with special refer- ence to the following details :-

Whether the Hospital is fulfilling the object and purpose of its Incorpora-

?tion.

"2. If

yes, whether the Commission can suggest or recommend any matter "or thing by which the present organization and administration of the

Hospital can be improved or carried on more effectively, and

66

(6

3. If no, whether the object and purpose of the Hospital can be fulfilled by any other organization, with any suggestions or recommendations the "Commission may make on the subject."

　2. I therefore submit in this separate report my opinions on the various points raised, and my reasons which are based entirely on the evidence taken by the Commission, on official reports, correspondence, etc. For the purpose of obviating the necessity of referring to the detailed reports, letters, etc., I include herein extracts, arranged under their several heads, to which I desire to direct particular attention.

I.-The reasons that led up to the founding of the Tung Wa Hospital.

　3. Sir RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL wrote several minutes concerning the "I Ts'z" or Chinese hospital, and his minute dated 23rd April, 1869, reads:----

"There is unquestionably something very revolting in finding suddenly that "such heartless cruelty and filth could be found in any building in this "City."

??

"Nevertheless, the laws seem not so bad, and the Registrar General himself is "to blame for the existence of such disreputable places as the Chinese hospital which he describes. Under Ordinance 8 of 1858 it seems to me "that he is specially expected and authorised (section 4) to look after the "interests of the Chinese, and that with him rests the responsibility of "visiting houses and tenements of every description where Chinese coolies "and others emigrants are particularly mentioned-are harboured (not "in the actual employment of the householder); and that (section 19) he "is bound to see after the licensing of such houses, to inspect them, and " enforce therein the observance of good order, decency and morality, and "the prevention and punishment of nuisances and other abuses amongst "the inmates of such houses."

His Excellency

Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, K.C.M.G.,

1158 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896.

"Now I should like to have a copy of the Registrar General's Rules on such

66

subjects, and if in forty-eight hours, such a place as the Chinese hospital

"and in such a condition exists in this town, I shall consider that the

Registrar General does not carry out his duty.

"He had better take this paper and wait on the Attorney General to consult "him as to the best means of promptly terminating the evils reported, and 'punishing such parties as can be legally punished for the heartless and "inhuman conduct detailed in Mr. LISTER'S report."

(6

66

If further legislation be required-which does not seem to be the case-I am

'prepared to undertake it."

4. Minute dated 26th April, 1869, reads :-

66

Let me have the Regulations under which the Emigration Depots "have been placed-for the whole subject must be reported to the Secretary "of State--as I am quite resolved not to allow the Executive, so far as I can help it, to be compromised by any irregularities in connection with emigration from this Colony."

66

(6

"I do not believe that anything worse than the scenes, reported as having "occurred in the so-called Chinese Hospital in the midst of this town, ever "happened at Macao. It is here that there may be a distinction so far that "with this Government to know the existence of such horrors is to ensure "their immediate abolition."

5. Minute dated 28th April, 1869, reads:-

46

((

((

....Is it certain that similar undiscovered dens are not at this "moment a disgrace to the Colony ? Having found the Registrar General and the Harbour Master professing ignorance of their responsibility, I now request explanation of the Colonial Surgeon, who, no doubt, will "claim similar immunity; whereas I incline to think that the Secretary "of State will consider that all three are responsible for the existence of "such a place, and that each of the three had a perfect right to interfere."

6. And Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL'S Memorandum, No. 470, dated 5th May, 1869, reads, paragraph 1:-

(6

Referring to the various documents and memoranda in this office "relative to the gross abuses and disgusting scenes in the 'I-Ts'z,' or "Chinese Hospital, I think the opportunity favourable for establishing a really good hospital for sick and moribund Chinese, conditionally that "its regulations and general superintendence be subject to Government "control;"

and paragraph 3 concludes :-

"It ought also to comprise a residence for a native doctor and a dispensary for "native and European medicines, and should be visited by a European "medical man almost daily."

7. The Petition of certain Chinese dated the 23rd May, 1866, refers to "the erection of a home and hospital for the destitute poor and sick Chinese in the Colony. Their intention is to provide quarters and medical attendance for the sick, &c.," and Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL'S minute of 29th June, 1866, in connection therewith reads:-

8.

"On the understanding that the intended hospital will be used for relief and cure. "of sick and destitute Chinese I am unwilling to withhold my sanction from "a project which is creditable in its object."

???

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896.

9. Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL'S despatch to Lord GRANVILLE, No. 726, dated 21st June, 1869, alludes to the humanity and expediency of assisting to establish a well conducted Hospital for Chinese; paragraph 18 reads :---

.......On the other hand, whilst allowing a Chinese Committee to "exercise a general control over the management of the proposed hospital, "it is agreed that the Governor shall have power to close it, and that all "the lands and buildings shall be forfeited to the Crown in the event "of the Colonial Surgeon, Registrar General, and one other officer deputed by the Governor, reporting the place to be ill conducted, and that it would "be expedient to resume the land. These arrangements are to be made "by Ordinance."

Paragraph 19 concludes:-

"I have only sought to convey to your Lordship a clear understanding of the policy and necessity which call for the construction of some such build- ing to meet certain Chinese special wants and prejudices, which are not "provided for by the existing Civil Hospital."

??

And paragraph 20 also concludes:--

"I believe there is no effective remedy for such an evil except inducing the "Chinese, as I am doing, to build a suitable hospital and refuge, open to

European surveillance but under Chinese management and direction, so "that there may be no such reluctance to go there in the minds of the "natives as that which generally' prevents their voluntarily going to the "Civil Hospital."

II.-The objects for which the Tung Wa Hospital was founded.

10. The Secretary of State's Despatch, 158, of 7th October, 1869, sanctions the estab- lishment of "a new hospital for sick and moribund Chinese conditionally that its regula- tions and general superintendence be subject to the Government control, &c."

11. Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL'S Despatch 947, of 19th February, 1872, to the Earl of KIMBERLEY, reports the opening of the Chinese Hospital; paragraph 2 concludes:---- "I availed myself of the opportunity to place before the Chinese the obliga- "tions, which they might be regarded as having undertaken, and reminded "them of the position, which they would occupy in future, enjoying great "freedom in all matters of local details and management, but subject to the "general superintendence and visits of certain Government Officers." Paragraph 8 reads :-

"I need only add that a vigilant supervision is intended to be maintained over the accounts and expenditure by Auditors appointed by Government, and "who at present are the Registrar General for the time being and the "Superintendent of the Central School."

Paragraph 9 reads:-

"The Ordinance under which the Committee is incorporated seems to me "to contain every useful and requisite power for facilitating the action of "the Committee of Management, whilst equally useful powers for con-

trolling and preventing abuses are reserved to the Executive."

And paragraph 11 reads:-

"On the whole I can conscientiously say that I look forward with cheerfulness "and hope to the future of the Hospital, and feel thankful that I have been permitted to take so leading a part in extracting finally so much good from the original abuses, which disgraced the 'I-Ts'z' Hospital and led to the "present important undertaking which your Lordship and Her Majesty's "Government have done so much to countenance and promote."

12. At the formal opening of the Tung Wa Hospital, Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL, is reported to have said :-

(6

"He had been most particular in not interfering with the Chinese arrangement

"of details, but great power of supervision was reserved to the Govern 16 ment. The Hospital was to be inspected by the Registrar General, the "Colonial Surgeon, and any one whom the Gevernment might appoint. "Also lest the affairs of the institution should be mismanaged or the funds misappropriated, auditors could be appointed, and auditors had been "appointed by the Government. Moreover, if it should happen that the "Committee declined and neglected the duties which it had solemnly taken ? upon it, the Government could pass an Act vesting in the Crown the "whole of the lands granted. He only mentioned these things because it was well to keep all possibilities in view, and not because it was at all 'likely that those who had shewn so much energy in promoting the work "would fail to carry it on."

III.-The Organisation of the Tung Wa Hospital.

13. The preamble to Ordinance No. 3 of 1870 incorporating the Hospital reads:-

"Whereas it has been proposed by the said Governor His Excellency Sir "RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL to found a Chinese Hospital for the care "and treatment of the indigent sick, etc."

Section 3 reads:-

"The Corporation is erected for the purpose of establishing and maintaining "a public free hospital for the treatment of indigent sick among the

A

"Chinese population, to be supported by voluntary contributions and

'governed by a Board of Direction, etc."

The election of the Board, and the Board's powers are clearly defined in the said Ordinance, and section 14 reads:-

4

"The Hospital and all buildings and premises of the Corporation shall be open "at all reasonable times to the inspection of the Registrar General, the "Colonial Surgeon, and of any other person whom the Governor may ap "point in that behalf."

Section 16 reads :-

"In case it shall at any time be shown to the satisfaction of the Governor in "Council that the Corporation have ceased or neglected or failed to carry "out in a proper manner the object and purposes of this Ordinance or "to fulfil the conditions thereof............it shall be lawful for the "Governor, with the advice of the Legislative Council of the Colony, by an Ordinance to be passed for that purpose, to repeal this Ordinance, "and to declare that the Incorporation hereby granted shall cease and "determine and become absolutely void, &c............."

(6

And section 17 reads:---

66

"In case the Incorporation hereby granted shall cease under the provisions "of the last preceding section, all the property and assets of the Corporation shall become vested in the Crown, subject to the rateable payment thereout of the just debts and liabilities of the Corporation, "to the extent of such property and assets, and in such manner as shall "be provided by the repealing Ordinance or by any order to be made in "that behalf by the Governor in Council."

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896;

Question 1.-Whether the Hospital is fulfilling the object of its Incorporation. 14. During the twenty-four years it has been in existence the Tung Wa Hospital has rendered very excellent service as a Poor House and Refuge for sick and destitute Chinese, and it has completely superseded the old "I-Ts'z." It has given the sick a better chance of recovery than they could have had in their own houses. It has enabled thousands to die in comparative ease and comfort. It has contributed to the general health of the Colony by withdrawing Chinese affected by contagious or infectious diseases from their own houses in crowded tenements in narrow streets. It has promoted vaccination. The Tung Wa Hospital has done all this, and it has in addition performed a considerable amount of charitable, benevolent and other meritorious work without expense to the Government of the Colony; but it has not been "the really good, well "conducted Hospital to be used for the relief and the cure of sick and destitute Chinese" that Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL desired and meant to establish and that the then Secretary of State, Lord GRANVILLE, approved of and sanctioned. As the Colonial Surgeon points out-"The Tung Wa Hospital is not, in any proper sense according to "European ideas, a Hospital," that is, a place for the medical treatment of the sick with a view to their recovery and cure as the result of that treatment.

　15. It has, in my opinion, failed to become what Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL intended it to be, and what the British Government supposed it would become, not because of any mismanagement by the Chinese Directors, or of any failure on their part to carry out the provisions of the Ordinance incorporating it--the Chinese have according to their lights managed the institution as a Poor House, Refuge and Dying House with all reasonable diligence, zeal, and care-but because of the failure of successive Re- gistrars General and Colonial Surgeons to exercise that "continuous inspection, "frequent supervision, and that regular and systematic control" over the management of the Hospital that Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL contemplated, and the Secretary of State required as the condition on which his sanction to and approval of the incorporation of the Tung Wa were given. The official documents and the evidence indicate that, from a very early period, that control and that supervision ceased to be exercised effectively; that the Chinese have been left to their own devices ;-that the visits of the Colonial Surgeon, made as a rule once a month only instead of daily, became as early as in 1873 merely formal and perfunctory; and that from shortly after its foundation in 1872 the state of the Hospital could not be considered satisfactory. In 1894 public attention was forcibly directed to its condition, and the reports and evidence leave no doubt that it had then become overcrowded, filthy, insanitary, and dangerous not only to the health of the inmates but to the public of Hongkong.

16. Dr. AYRES, the Colonial!Surgeon, in his evidence on 18th June, 1896, states:-

6

..............There is no surgical treatment of any kind in the Tung "Wa as recognised by European methods.....

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　There are no "qualifications recognised in China to practise medicine, and these so- "called Doctors' have none according to our European ideas...... "The treatment by the so-called 'Doctors' practising at the Tung Wa is "tantamount to no treatment at alt in the majority of cases. My memory "of it (the surgical ward) is, that it was the worst ward in the whole hospital, unless it has been very much improved since I left in 1894. "We always considered it 'a chamber of horrors.' That is in regard to "the treatment of disease....

....You can see in the Macao Hos-

pital that they are much better off there than we are here in the Tung Wa, and they are much more careful of the clothing, &c......

"It would be a very good thing to have a Chinese adequately trained in "Western medical science in the Tung Wa, but he cannot be trusted

without a European Surgeon to verify the cases afterwards. "He would certainly require constant supervision on the part of the

46

"As both plague cases and small-pox cases are now subject to removal "from the Tung Wa Hospital, I would also recommend that typhoid cases should not be permitted to remain in that institution, or any other "infectious disease which is a serious danger to the community generally.

If these things "could be arranged much would be gained.

19. And in a letter dated 9th June, 1896, Dr. AYRES says:-

..Soon after my arrival in the Colony in 1873 I inspected the Tung Wa Hospital and in an interview with the Colonial Secretary concerning this institution I was referred to the Registrar General for "instructions."

(6

20. Dr. ATKINSON, Acting Colonial Surgeon, in a letter dated 20th August, 1895, says:-

I "cannot understand who has the deciding of the refusal to admit any destitute applicant. There does not seem to be any system in "the place whatever. That is my experience after repeated calls at the "Tung Wa. ...........The whole question was referred to at the monthly meetings with the staff. ............Practically no improvement has been apparent...............From a medical point of view, I think the Tung "Wa should be abolished.

.They have failed to carry out the object and purposes of the Ordinance, viz., the proper treatment of the indigent sick amongst the Chinese population. I do not think patients "there are properly treated if they are allowed to die without receiving adequate medical attendance. ..... .......... The arrangement at present is "that I visit the Hospital every morning with Mr. U I-KAI, who has "been trained at the Chinese College of Medicine and at the Government "Civil Hospital, and see all cases which have come in during the previous "twenty-four hours. I ask him to explain to the patients when I think "it advisable that they should be transferred to the Government Civil Hospital, and ask whether they will consent to come in or not. If they consent, they come; but since the present Committee was appointed I "cannot help thinking that the patients are influenced by some of the people in authority, because nearly every one of these surgical cases "that I have recommended transfer to the Government Civil Hospital "since the present Committee was appointed has refused to come into "the Civil Hospital. The cases that have come in since the present "Committee was appointed are almost all medical cases.

......I "thought patients were being discharged from the Tung Wa suffering "from infectious diseases and other complaints and that they were not in a "fit state to leave the Hospital. ..........I referred to some cases of typhoid fever especially. ..............I know of two cases of typhoid "which have come under my own experience since April, 1895, and there "have also been cases of puerperal fever...............I received an order "from the previous Committee that all patients should be seen by me "before they were discharged. I saw them up to a certain date in "November or December, 1895, but since then they have been allowed to "leave without my having seen them. The new Committee did not "observe this regulation and patients are now discharged without my "knowing whether they are in a fit state to be discharged or not. ...Ifa Chinaman trained in European medicine were appointed "in charge of the Tung Wa Hospital, he would not be in a sufficiently

"I do not believe a single medical man could be found to uphold its "existence as a hospital, one of the curiosities of Hongkong to medical "visitors having always been the Tung Wa Hospital. The native Chi- nese hospitals I have seen in other places are generally far superior to the one which is now permitted to remain in the middle of a densely 'populated part of Hongkong. Matters have improved lately to a great extent, but still they are bad enough................It is difficult to speak calmly on this subject, and to the authorities at home it must seem "incredible that the state of affairs is such as I have far-from-fully de- scribed. If the Government are to recognise a hospital where Chinese 'quackery is to have full play as regards treatment, then it is all the more essential that responsible men should be appointed to supervise "it with full power to prevent what is closely allied to malpraxis. I have "had a good deal to do with the Chinaman when in Hospital, and can "state that when once he has had a slight experience of Western medicine "he is generally, if not always, desirous of remaining under civilized "treatment.....

The proposal to place some of the students of "the Chinese School of Medicine in the Tung Wa to improve the prepara- "tion of the mortality statistics is a bad one, and would not im- probably lead to a sense of false security. Where it is difficult for an "experienced European doctor to make a correct diagnosis it would be scarcely fair to ask a semi-educated Chinaman to do so; and the result "would be that causes of death would be given, but possibly not the "right causes; and the new state of affairs would be worse than the old. .Conducted as it is at present under the patronage and protection of the local Government, a certain amount of countenance is, "or at any rate appears to be, lent to what I can only describe as medical "and surgical atrocities."

23. In his evidence on 23rd April, 1896, Dr. Lowson states:--

66

Apart from absolute sanitation I consider the place was a danger to the public health.

　　　　　...From a purely professional point of view "-medical and surgical-and also from a sanitary point of view, I con- "sider the Tung Wa in 1894 was very bad.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　..It was insanitary "on account of overcrowding, filth, absolute want of all cleaning processes, "and one might include the danger of spreading disease from patient to

patient from the filthy condition of the patients in the place.... "Chinese hospitals elsewhere that I have seen were very much better "than the Tung Wa Hospital. From a medical and surgical point "of view the treatment of the patients was very bad indeed, judged "from a Western point of view.......... ....Taking medical considera- "tion into account, I do not think it is in a fair sanitary condition. "There are wards where the patients are suffering from blood poisoning "of every description where they are a distinct danger to everybody in "the Hospital suffering from open wounds.

.They constitute

"a danger through contaminating the air and spreading infection. ........I have seen half a dozen patients there with healthy wounds "who have contracted blood poisoning in the wards. I have seen a man "who was suffering from septicamia take off his plaster and give it to "a man in the next bed to him and that man has died.

.....

"The introduction to the Tung Wa Hospital of a Chinese versed in "Western medicine would be a grand scheme if you have a European at "the head who is going to give orders, but unless you have a European "there I do not think there is a Chinaman who could hold his own against "the others. ............... The supervision of the Colonial Surgeon would

If you send that man away with his "septicamia you are doing the Colony more good than by taking him into that ward where you would be endangering the lives of the other patients."

24. Surgeon-Colonel EvATT, Principal Medical Officer of the Army Medical Staff, who has had a wide and extended experience of hospital and medical work in India, in his evidence, on 2nd July, 1896, states:--

"The bedding was absolutely filthy: I refer to the coverlets.

26. Dr. CLARK. Medical Officer of Health to the Sanitary Board, in his evidence on 14th May, 1896, ferring to the sanitary arrangements of the Hospital, says :-

....

(C

.....I do not think they are sufficient, I think there should be latrines "and bath rooms for every ward; at present they are provided for the "wards of one block only.... .........Although the authorities at the Tung Wa Hospital have complied with the request to provide bath "room accommodation, it does not follow that the rooms are used as "such...... .The verandahs are used unfortunately for the storage a lumber, rubbish, woodwork, baskets, clothing, &c. The premises occupied by the patients are not in such condition as to cause a "nuisance. They are not in a wholesome condition.

The rooms in the Ko Fong wards, in my opinion, are unfit for human "habitation in their present condition....

The surgical ward dark, and some of the other wards smell badly, but there is plenty of ventilation available. The whole thing, to my mind, is a question "of management. The appliances in the Hospital are sufficient to put "it in a very satisfactory condition if there were only some responsible "head who saw that everything was carried out properly. In the female "ward yesterday I made an inspection of the night stools, one of which "is provided for each patient. I opened every one, and I found every "one half-full of night-soil. There was an amah in attendance, and I asked her (about three or four o'clock in the afternoon) when they had "been emptied, and I was told' they had been emptied on the previous 'evening by a coolie. It is one of the first principles of hospital management that all excreta should be removed from the ward "and emptied out immediately. ...............................I consider the Hospital can "be kept in a fair sanitary condition, but it is difficult to say it is "in a fair sanitary condition. When I visited the Tung Wa on 13th sanitary, with an accent on fairly because "I do not think the wards were properly ventilated, and I do not think "it is satisfactory having night-soil left in the wards unemptied for such "a length of time.

When I first came here and was acting as "assistant at the Government Civil Hospital I saw patients taken there- "from the Tung Wa Hospital, who, if they had been brought there in "the first instance might have been saved considerable suffering. ...I think it would be very useful provided you got a good man. .....The appointment of a Chinese trained in Western medical. "science, in addition to daily inspections by a member of the medical establishment of the Government would not effect the desired improve- ments in the management which I say are necessary. ........I "do not think such an officer would either have the patience or take "the trouble to look after the petty details of sanitary management "in the Hospital required to keep it in a proper condition.

"From what I have seen of the Hospital I think the appointment of a "European Steward, some man of perhaps a little better class than the 'Sanitary Inspectors, should be appointed. His duty would be to see "that the wards were properly ventilated, that the drainage or conser- vancy system was carefully carried out; to see that the Ko Fong "wards were not occupied, and that the servants did not live in the "basements, and the other petty details that a steward of an hospital' at "home is supposed to look after. It is a big Hospital, and at the sanne "time it wants somebody all day long to look after it. "I think he should be under the Colonial Surgeon, who would visit the 66 Hospital every day as at present.

66

((

(C

So far as one can judge from surface appearances the drainage "arrangements of the Hospital are defective..... ......The conservancy arrangements for the patients are rather primitive, and, unless properly carried out, the air in the wards must necessarily be polluted, and in "those wards where there are patients suffering from infectious diseases (C where the infective matter is thrown off with the excretions from the "bowels and kidneys, the danger of the spread of such diseases to others "in the ward is undoubtedly very great. To each two beds there is a 'rough wooden covered commode which is far from being air-tight. This

commode is, as a rule, only cleansed once in the twenty-four hours."

28. In a Memorandum dated 18th January, 1896, Mr. MCCALLUM writes:--

66

(C

.............. With regard to conservancy, I am quite satisfied that the only "satisfactory method in any Hospital is the water carriage system. "Excretal matters in hospitals are nearly always infective and consequently "the speedy and complete removal of them is a matter of the first import- ance. This can only be effectually carried out by adopting the water "carriage system.

This should be insisted on. The storage "for twenty-four hours of infected excretal matters and their subsequent "removal through the streets cannot be done without danger to the community. The drainage arrangements of the Hospital are being seen "to now and when the work is completed this section of the sanitation. "of the Hospital will be placed on a satisfactory footing."

29. And Mr. McCALLUM, in his evidence on 13th March, 1896, adds :-

66

They are remedying the bulk of the things that were in an insanitary con- "dition. Generally speaking after what is now being carried out has "been completed it will be in a very fair sanitary condition."

　30. Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL in his despatch of 19th February, 1872, when reporting the opening of the Tung Wa Hospital, doubtless having in mind what had been allowed to take place in the "I Ts'z," or Chinese Hospital, was careful to inform the Earl of KIMBERLEY, the then Secretary of State, that "the more continuous and frequent the supervision maintained by Officers of the Government, whether daily, or weekly, or "monthly, the more improbable will be the chance of any great abuse having time to mature, and this is a point on which I hope my successor may entertain the same "views as myself." Notwithstanding this very distinct note of warning, the Government had by 1894 permitted the Tung Wa Hospital to drift into an insanitary state. meeting held on 14th February, 1896, the Honourable J.

31. New there may have been some grounds for not interfering with the medical arrangements, but absolutely none for not supervising the sanitary arrangements. It was specially on sanitary grounds that the "I Ts'z" was done away with to make room for the Tung Wa. For the extremely unsatisfactory and the exceedingly backward condition of affairs at the Tung Wa the Registrar General's Department, by its sub- servi ence to Chinese ideas, and by its timidity in dealing with the Chinese, is largely, if not entirely, to blame. I submit it is a disgrace to the British Government and to our eivilization at the end of the nineteenth century in this British Crown Colony, that positively no attempt has up to the present time been made by the Colonial Govern- nent to dissipate the cloud of ignorance that rests over the Chinese in regard to the undoubted advantages of modern medical science, and that the so-called "Doctors" of the Tung Wa Hospital, who have no medical qualifications whatever, are still permitted by the Colonial Government to continue to "treat" the many destitute pour and sick among the 240,000 Chinese in the Colony in accordance with the dictates of an antiquated and wholly discredited system.

32. In spite of the enormous increase in the population during the years from 1872 to 1894, and the large accumulations of funds in the hands of the Institution, there had been no adequate enlargement of the establishment, or of the accommodation therein to meet the continuously growing needs of the Colony, and there had been no improvement and positively no effort to effect any improvement either in the medical treatment of the sick and destitute Chinese, or in the sanitary arrangements of the Hospital. If there had been "the continuous inspection, the frequent supervision, and that systematic control over it," that Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL contemplated, the Hospital would never have been allowed to drift into the state in which it was found in 1894. At a deputation of Chinese gentlemen connected with the Hospital, which waited on His Excellency the Governor on 28th December last, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON is reported to have said-

.............."I fully appreciate the Tung Wa Hospital's good work, which has been "done for many years; and I must insist on having it put into proper sanitary condition. Under the Ordinance, 3 of 1870, the Governor has power to appoint any- "body he thinks fit, besides the Registrar General and Colonial Surgeon, and I shall act on that decidedly." See Dr. Lowson's report dated 1st March, 1895, and more parti- cularly his remarks on the Tung Wa which were omitted from the official copies of th?t report, as Government considered that no useful purpose would be served by their publication; and also the medical and other evidence. Lord GRANVILLE'S despatch of 7th October, 1869, sanctioned "the establishment of a new Hospital for sick and "moribund Chinese conditionally that its regulations and general superintendence be "subject to Government control."

33. Had successive Registrars General and Colonial Surgeons exercised the continuous control intended, led the Chinese by gradual steps to understand and recognise the benefits of Western medicine and surgery, and employed a little quiet steady pressure-a pressure that could have been gradually and judiciously exercised without exciting any alarm or stirring up any prejudices in the minds of the Chinese-I believe the Tung Wa Hospital might now have been spacious enough to provide for all the needs of the rapidly growing Chinese population, and would have become what the Government of 1872 intended, viz., a "really good and well-conducted Hospital," availing itself of many of the advantages and of many of the curative appliances and methods of modern medical science.

:

34. The Registrar General has always acted as the intermediary between the Government and the Hospital Directorate, and in respect of the Tung Wa the Colonial Surgeon has, unfortunately since 1873, been under the instructions of the Registrar General's Department. I am of opinion it is mainly owing to the lack of intelligent firmness in dealing with the Chinese on the part of successive Registrars General, and to their failure to exercise any effective control over the working of the establishment, that instead of being a benefit to the Chinese

of whom the Registrar General was until 1888 the Official Protector, the Tung Wa Hospital has been in certain respects a great misfortune, yea, actual injury to Hongkong, as well as loss to the Chinese residents, because the general opinion and the public belief that it was doing the work it was intended to do, viz., that of a really good and well conducted hospital, has steadily blocked the way to the gradual and judicious introduction of modern methods of medical and surgical treatment, as has been successfully done many years ago in India, in Ceylon, in Singapore, and in fact wherever Her Majesty's Government has been established for any length of time. In Singapore there is a large Chinese population constantly recruited from China and equally attached to their usages and habits as that resident here. A hospital wa's founded there in 1880 for the treatment, on European methods, of all nationalities. The bulk of the patients are Chinese, who attend the hospital voluntarily. No opposi tion is, or, as far as is known, has been experienced to European medical treatment. The patients come for that treatment. There may be some who like to return to native treatment, but such cases are not common. The medical staff of the hospital consists of both Europeans and Asiatics. European methods of treatment are insisted on. If this has been done in Singapore, where the Officers of the Government are not trained Chinese Scholars, why could it not have been done in Hongkong, where the officials have a knowledge of the Chinese and the Chinese language and claim to be the only persons in the Colony possessed of such knowledge? I think I may be permitted to say that there are no people more amenable to reason, or more easily governed, than the Chinese provided the rule is cousistent and continuous. LI HUNG CHANG, one of the most distinguished statesmen in China, on a recent important mission to Europe and America, had his European medical adviser in attendance throughout his extended travels, and His Ex- cellency is reported to have attributed, to his Doctor's professional skill, much of the success of the mission, while it is a fact that Princes and members of the Imperial family avail of the medical services of the eminent Dr. DUDGEON in Peking. In India the difficulties and the prejudices, arising out of the numerous castes and race hatreds there and on religious grounds, were stronger and greater than any that were or are to be met with in Hongkong, but were gradually overcome and ultimately conquered. Why could not similar success have attended properly directed efforts in the like direction in Hongkong? That this same wise, far-seeing policy and beneficent rule has not been followed in this not unimportant and well favoured Island is, I submit, a dark blot on the annals of Crown Colony Government, and reflects anything but credit on the system adopted in the management of our Chinese population and Chinese affairs.

Question 2.-If yes, whether the Commission can suggest or recommend any matter or thing by which the present organization and administration of the Hospital can be improved or carried on more effectively; and

Question 3.-If no, whether the object and purpose of the Hospital can be fulfilled by any other organization with any suggestions or recommendations the Commission may make on the subject.

35. As appears from my answer to the first question, the Tung Wa Hospital has in many respects fulfilled the primary object and purpose for which it was established, but in other and equally important respects-mainly through the deficiencies on the part of successive Registrars General-the institution has not attained the position Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL intended that it should attain, viz., that it should in time become a really good and well conducted Hospital. My answer therefore to the second and third questions may usefully be combined in one.

36. I am most decidedly of opinion that the ends and objects for which the Tung Wa Hospital was originally founded and endowed can be more effectively and more economically carried out in an institution of that kind under Chinese management and control, than in any institution directly under the Government and administered by Europeans, and I am in favour of maintaining and extending the Tung. Wa if there is

*

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5?H DECEMBER, 1896. any possibility of doing so, upon conditions consistent with a due regard for the public health and for the preservation of the lives of the people frequenting it. But I am also of opinion that if the Tung Wa Hospital is to be continued in existence under its present management it can only be done by subjecting it to that continuous, daily, or hourly supervision by duly qualified Government officers, and that effective control by the Government that Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL undoubtedly contemplated, and on the assurance that such supervision and control would be duly exercised, the Secretary of State was alone induced to sanction its incorporation. Sir R. G. MACDONNELL clearly foresaw that unless the Chinese management was closely and continuously watched, the Tung Wa, however favourably it might start into existence, would soon ecome as dirty, as crowded, as dangerous, and as great a nuisance as the "I Tsz." The results have justified his foresight, and whatever the state of the Tung Wa to-day may be, after Dr. ATKINSON's and Dr. Lowson's complaints have called attention to it, it was in 1894 in a most insanitary condition, overcrowded, badly ventilated, filthy, without the most necessary appliances, and a grave source of danger to the Colony. If it is now in a much better state it is because of the close supervision exercised over it since 1894.

37. The Hospital needs enlargement to meet the growing needs of the population. The Chinese population has increased from 115,564 in 1872, when the Tung Wa was opened, to about 240,000 in 1896. Proper provision is necessary for the division of the poor who take refuge in it for a few days or a few weeks until they can get work or be sent to their native places, and for the complete segregation of the sick who are suffering from infectious diseases from the sick who are not so affected. Separate accommodation should also be provided for those who are simply brought there to die from those who are brought there for treatment and with the hope of being cured. These are matters which will involve expense in the way of reconstruction and enlargement, but the corporation has ample funds in hand, house property and cash aggregating in value about $240,000 to $250,000; but I am of opinion that the Government should, whenever necessary, afford reasonable financial assistance. For the purpose of enforcing the separation of the sick from the dying, of the infectious from the non-infectious cases, and of keeping a record of diseases and of deaths and their causes, a resident medical man is absolutely necessary, and the expense should be borne by the Government. Such officer might be a Chinese trained in Western medical science, but he should also be in the performance of his duties under the close and constant supervision of the Visiting Surgeon, or of some competent Medical Officer.

38. To prevent the Chinese, who are wholly indifferent to matters of drainage, ventilation, and sanitation generally, from allowing the Hospital to drop back into the state of filth from which the place has just been rescued, there should be a Resident European Superintendent or Steward, with the training and knowledge of a Sanitary Inspector, to see that all sanitary precautions are taken, and all rules as to cleanliness and ventilation are observed. This officer should not be permitted to interfere with the management or the treatment of the patients, or to give orders, but should be required to observe and report, so that the Government may be able effectively to interfere at the first sign of any neglect, or of any disobedience of the Rules or Bye-laws which should be made by the Government (1) for securing the classification and separation of the inmates; (2) that there are no discharges from the Hospital unless those certified by the resident medical officer who has been trained in modern. medical science; (3) the looking after the bedding and clothing; (4) the keeping of the proper records; (5) the maintenance of the sanitary condition of the buildings and premises; (6) the prevention of overcrowding, &c., &c., &c. The Principal Army Medical Officer states--evidence page 70--"There should be regulations similar to what we have in our own hospitals where everything is done in accordance with rules and nothing is left to the whims of the attendants."

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH DECEMBER, 1896. 1171

　39. If these recommendations are carried out and an effective and continuous control is exercised over the place by the Government through the competent officers of the Medical and Sanitary Departments, the Tung Wa Hospital will continue to be most useful as a Poor House and Refuge for the Destitute, and as a place to which the Chinese may, in accordance with their peculiar ideas, convey their relations, friends, or countrymen in articulo mortis. It will also, as regards the sick, give them more comfortable accommod- ation than their houses can afford them, and a better chance of recovery in the order of nature. The Hospital will also aid largely in the segregation of dangerous cases and so benefit the Colony, but it should do far more than this. In my opinion it is nothing short of a disgrace to the Government of the Colony that during the twenty-four years the Tung Wa has been opened, no attempt, however slight, has been made. to improve the treatment of the destitute sick Chinese. There is an absolute ignorance of anatomy and of the simplest operations of surgery among the practitioners in the Tung Wa Hospital. There is positively nothing in the Hospital that can be recognised as medical treatment. There are a few simple old women's remedies in use for the commoner ailments, but the most atrocious ignorance of anything deserving the name of medical science prevails. Persons are allowed to die there, one might say, daily, through the ignorance of the so-called "doctors" and through prejudices which are brought to bear to prevent the poor and destitute patients from having recourse to European aid.

　40. I feel sure that the Chinese would resent any direct attempt to interfere with their treatment of the patients according to Chinese ideas, and I do not recommend any interference of that kind; the adoption of European methods should be perfectly voluntary; but I strongly recommend that the Directors of the Tung Wa should be required, as the condition sine qua non, of their being permitted to continue in the management of the Hospital, to gradually substitute for the present Chinese doctors, others, also Chinese, who, as well as being trained in Chinese medicine should have gone through a course of study in Western medical science, so that every patient in the Hospital who desired to have the benefit of the newest lights should have on the spot a man capable of affording it to him. It should not be made compulsory to adopt Western methods of treatment. Every patient, who desired to be cured by Chinese medicines and in Chinese ways, should be at perfect liberty to make his selection, but the power of choice would then be real, and not illusory.

41. The appointment of Doctors should still be in the hands of the Chinese Directors entirely. No sudden change in the qualifications should be insisted on, but vacancies should be filled by Chinese who had gone through a regular course of European medicine so far as such persons are available. It should be laid down that within seven years from date all the Chinese Doctors in the Hospital should have had such a training and that no further unqualified men should be employed.

　42. As to its finances, the Tung Wa Hospital having been endowed with public funds to the extent of $115,000, it appears the Government, when incorporating the Institution, had fully decided that the Hospital's accounts should be audited, as is usual in all such cases. Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL in a despatch dated 19th February, 1872, advised Lord KIMBERLY, then Secretary of State, that a vigilant supervision was intended to be maintained over the accounts and expenditure by auditors appointed by Government, and Government Notification No. 23 of 10th February, 1872, appointed the Registrar General and the Head Master of the Central School auditors ex officio. On enquiring for the auditors' reports, I was informed by the President of the Com- mission, in a letter dated 17th August, 1896, that "so far as he was aware no audi- tors have ever been appointed by the Government to audit the Tung Wa Hospital accounts." The abstract of the annual receipts and payments, and statement of the assets and liabilities of the Hospital at Singapore are audited by the Government, and I am of opinion that the accounts of the Tung Wa Hospital should have been audited since its incorporation in 1872. If no audit has ever been effected, I consider that one should now be commenced.

43. The history of the Institution conclusively demonstrates that the Registrar General's Department is in no way qualified to exercise an efficient supervision and the sole control over a hospital such as the Tung Wa. The Assistant Surgeon in the Government Medical Department in his evidence on 23rd April, 1896, said :--" "At present the Colonial Surgeon has no power to give instructions or directions "to those in charge of the Hospital. All directions must be given to the Tung Wa "Directors through the Registrar General, but it does not follow they will be obeyed." I am clearly of opinion that the Government should appoint in this behalf a duly qualified and suitable Medical Officer who shall be independent of the Registrar General, and required to report direct to the Government. In his evidence Surgeon-Colonel EVATT very pertinently remarks:-"The surgical cases need a trained Chinese Doctor, or a very kind, sympathetic European surgeon who would win over the Chinese to his ways "and treatment. I believe the place could be gradually reformed, and if a Medical "Officer was made a member of the Chinese governing body he would gradually "explain to them what was needed-pave the way for reforms, and level the place up to "a better standard."

il

44. I recommend that Rules or Bye-laws for the proper and efficient working of the Tung Wa Hospital, referred to in paragraph 38 hereof, should be framed by the Colonial Medical Department, with the assistance of Surgeon-Colonel EVATT, Principal Army Medical Officer, and Dr. CLARK, Medical Officer of Health of the Sanitary Board, and submitted to the Directors of the Hospital for their views, and afterwards submitted for report to this Commission before it is dissolved.

:

45. In conclusion, I feel it my duty to call attention to the circumstance that the Chairman of this Commission, who has drawn up the majority report, is himself the Registrar General of the Colony, and that he has had, in his capacity of Chairman, to enquire into the working of an Institution, for the success or failure of which, during the last twenty-four years, his department was mainly responsible, and to suggest for the consideration of His Excellency the Governor that if the Registrar General's Department should be called on to furnish or should furnish any report on the subject of the Tung Wa Hospital for transmission to the Secretary of State, it may be made public with these papers.

QUESTION. Mr. WHITEHEAD pursuant to notice asked the following question :-

Will the Government inform the Council whether the Police Department continues to furnish the*.

Imperial Chinese Maritime Customs with information concerning permits issued for the export from the Colony of arms and ammunition?

The Colonial Secretary replied.

His Excellency then addressed the Council as follows:--

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

The time having arrived when it is usual to convene the Legislative Council for the purpose of discharging those important duties which annually devolve upon it, I gladly resort to you for assistance and advice. The pleasure of meeting you again is enhanced by the satisfactory state of public affairs, especially as regards the finances of the Colony.

Before proceeding to deal with that and other interesting matters, I have to express the gratification which it affords me, and which I am sure you all share, to welcome the presence at this table of His Excellency Major-General BLACK and Mr. WEI A-YUK, as Official and Unofficial Members respectively of this Council. The course of events which brought about this change in the constitution of the Legislative Council is still fresh in your memory. I shall not refer to them in detail, but content myself with remarking that as His Excellency the General Officer Commanding is to administer the Government during the absence at any time of the Governor, it is obviously advantageous to the Colony that he should occupy a seat in the Legislative Council, while the appointment of Mr. WEI A-Yuk, a resident highly respected in Hongkong, will, it is hoped, bring the Government into still closer touch with the Chinese community which forms such an important element in the population of the Colony.

The constitution of the Executive Council has also undergone a change, which was recommended by me and approved by the Secretary of State. It now consists of two Un- official Members, Mr. CHATER and Mr. BELL-IRVING, in addition to the Official Members who previously composed it. You will agree with me in the opinion that the Colony is to be congratulated on this reconstruction which has strengthened the Executive by the addition of two able advisers, whose experience, especially on matters affecting the com- mercial welfare of Hongkong, cannot fail to be of the highest value at all times to me and to my successors in office.

B

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH DECEMBER, 1896. 1191

Turning now to the orders of the day, the first item which claims attention is a Bill entitled "An Ordinance to appropriate a Percentage of seventeen and a half per centum of the Colonial Revenues as a contribution for the Defence of the Colony."

This Bill is the outcome of lengthy correspondence and negotiations with which you are familiar, and it is introduced under instructions from the Secretary of State. I may mention that the Unofficial Members have recently forwarded a memorial praying that the contribution may be again fixed at the former figure of ￡40,000. I can, however, hold out no hope that this request of the Unofficial Members will be acceded to. I have no option therefore but to ask you to pass this Bill into law, and so finally settle the much-vexed question of the Military Contribution.

The next item of importance, and indeed the most pressing one on the order the Appropriation Bill for 1897.

paper, is

From the Draft Estimates, which have been in your hands for some time, and which I now lay upon the table, you will have observed that the Revenue for 1897 is estimated to yield $2,438,823. This estimate has been arrived at with due caution; it is less than the actual revenue for 1895 and the probable total for the current year, and I have every reason. to expect that it will be realised. The various items do not, I think, call for any special remark at this stage. The total expenditure for 1897 is estimated at $2,769,083, but of this $368,000 is chargeable to the Loan. The estimated sum chargeable to current revenue is therefore $2,401,083, or $37,740 less than the estimated revenue.

The principal increases in expenditure, as compared with the Estimates for 1896, appear under the following heads:-

1. Public Works Extraordinary chargeable to Loan,

2. Military Expenditure,......

3. Pensions,

4. Public Works Recurrent,

5. Post Office,

6. Public Debt,

7. Sanitary Department,

....

$170,800

30,079

26,000

23,300

22,181

11,447

9,800

8. Medical Department,

4,542

The increase in Military Expenditure is due partly to an increase of $9,000 in the amount set apart for "Barrack Services," but chiefly to increased (estimated) revenue. Only $61,000 of the estimated total Military Expenditure is included in the Appropriation Bill, viz., $49,000 for Barrack Services and $12,000 for the Volunteers, as the Bill to which I have already referred and which is designed purposely to remove the question of voting the Defence Contribution from the arena of yearly debate, will provide for the appropriation of 17 per cent. of the revenue, less premia on land sales, to meet that contribution.

The increase under the item of Public Works Recurrent is accounted for chiefly by the cost of maintaining the new waterworks at Shaukiwan and Aberdeen, and increased cost of maintenance of roads and bridges, and of the repairs to buildings which will probably be necessary during next year.

The additional charge on account of the Public Debt is due to the increase in the contribution to the Sinking Fund, which commenced only in October last.

The large increase in the cost of the Sanitary Department calls for some special explanation.

It has been found that the present staff of inspectors is not sufficient to provide for the inspection of the Chinese houses with the frequency and regularity which are necessary. The Sanitary Board has accordingly recommended, and the Secretary of State has sanctioned, the appointment of two more inspectors of nuisances, with the necessary additional inter- preters and foremen of street cleansers. The salaries for these new appointments, with various stipulated increments in the pay of other officers, and the salary of a temporary clerk who was appointed in April, 1895, and whose salary does not appear in the 1896

3

"

1192

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH DECEMBER, 1896.

Estimates, accounts for the increase in personal emoluments, while the increase under other charges" is principally due to the higher figures at which the scavenging contracts are let.

((

The increase under the heading "Post Office" is due entirely to estimated increase in transit charges, or the sum which this Colony has to pay for the conveyance of its mail matter. This increase need cause no alarm; on the other hand it is a matter of congratulation, for it indicates an estimated expansion of business and consequent increase of profit.

The increase in the cost of the Medical Departments is owing to the appointment of an Assistant Surgeon in place of the Medical Officer of the Gaol, at a higher salary; to the appointment of an additional Sister, and to well deserved increases in the pay of Dr. Lowson and the Analyst and Assistant Analyst, and a few minor appointments, including the Chinese staff for the new Isolation Hospital.

Economies have been effected as opportunity offered, on the lines suggested by the Retrenchment Committee, but such opportunities have been rare.

The rate of exchange for the Estimates for 1897 has been taken at 2/1, the same rate as was taken for 1896, which may be regarded as a safe rate so far as the word "safe" can be applied to exchange.

If any further information is desired with regard to the Estimates it will be furnished in Finance Committee or when the Council is in Committee on the Bill. I have now only to ask you, gentlemen, to vote the sum necessary to defray the charges for the coming year.

I will now make a few remarks upon the general condition of the Colony financially and otherwise.

The total estimated revenue for 1896 was $2,288,366. Of this sum $2,120,680 had been collected up to the end of October, and the total revenue will probably be about $2,495,000, while the total expenditure chargeable to revenue will be about $2,445,000, leaving a surplus of Revenue over Expenditure of some $50,000.

The increase in receipts over the amount which was estimated is principally due to premia on Land Sales, which have yielded already over $250,000 as against an estimated total for the whole year of $70,000.

There are also noticeable increases in the receipts up to the 31st October, under the headings "Light Dues," "Licences and Internal Revenue not otherwise specified" and "Post Office," over the estimated receipts up to that date.

The principal items of unforeseen expenditure, which were not provided for in the Estimates for 1896, are $20,000 for a new floating engine for the Fire Brigade and $70,200 for expenses incurred in connection with the repression of the plague.

Turning now to the question of the health and sanitation of the Colony, the present year will be a memorable one owing to the unfortunate recurrence of the disease known as bubonic plague which was so disastrous in 1894. The outbreak commenced early in the year, the disease was at its worst stage in April and May, and was not finally stamped out till the end of September. The total number of cases brought to notice was 1,204 of which 1,097 ended fatally. The Europeans attacked numbered 15, of whom 7, including two soldiers and one inspector of nuisances, succumbed to the disease. Sister CATHERINE, one of the two sisters who were engaged in nursing at the Plague Hospital, was also attacked by the disease, but fortunately recovered. The largest number of fresh cases in one for week was 100, from the 23rd to 30th May, and the greatest number of deaths was 87, the week ending 9th May.

During the whole of this period the Sanitary Board and its staff, ably assisted by members of the Police and of the Garrison, whose services were kindly lent, and all those connected with the work of suppressing the plague were untiring in their efforts, and they deserve great credit for their zeal and energy. It is perhaps too much to hope that the disease will not again visit this Colony, and we must, I fear, be prepared for its re-appearance in spite of every effort to prevent it.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH DECEMBER, 1896. 1193

It is satisfactory to record that though many of the wealthier Chinese sent their wives and families to the mainland, there was no general exodus of the population such as occurred in 1894, and business proceeded much as usual. Dr. YERSIN and Dr. KITASATO, whose names and attainments are so well known, have each prepared an antitoxin for the treatment of the plague, and I am taking steps to secure a supply of the preparation. Finally, I cannot dismiss the subject of the plague without recording the Colony's indebtedness to the Medical Department of this Colony, including the Sisters. Dr. WILM, of the Imperial German Navy, whose services were kindly lent by Admiral HOFFMAN, also rendered invalu- able assistance throughout in treating the patients at the Kennedytown Hospital of which he was in charge, and by his scientific investigations which, it is hoped, will prove of much benefit.in dealing with this terrible disease. Many useful measures have been undertaken by the Sanitary Board with a view to the prevention of overcrowding and for the improvement of the sanitary condition of the native quarters of the City. This question, however, is of so difficult a nature that I have appointed a Commission to enquire into the existence of insani- tary properties and to report on the best mode of dealing with them. The matter is now under their consideration. The Colony is to be congratulated on its immunity from break of cholera such as has visited the sister colony of Singapore.

any out-

A typhoon of unusual severity swept over the Colony on the 29th July last. It caused great damage to property, but fortunately owing to the timely warning of its approach given by the Director of the Observatory the loss of life was not great.

Improvements have been made in the condition of the Tung Wa Hospital. The desir- ability of reforming that institution has formed the subject of enquiry and report by a Commission. I am in possession of their views on the matter and am devoting my earnest attention to the question which is one of considerable difficulty and delicacy.

With regard to the constitution of the Sanitary Board I regret that I am not yet in possession of the Secretary of State's final decision which, however, I hope to receive shortly.

As regards Public Works, the extension of the Wongneichong Recreation Ground has been undertaken and is progressing. The project includes the widening and improving of the roads and an addition to the Recreation Ground of about 7 acres.

The extension of the Gaol has been proceeded with and accommodation has been pro- vided within the Gaol compound for a prison for females, instead of the unsuitable house in Wyndham Street hitherto rented for that purpose.

a

The provision of an adequate supply of water to the City of Victoria has received my careful attention, and projects have been prepared for an ultimate supply of 4,000,000 gallons day throughout the year. The present state of the water supply and particulars of the proposed extensions have been dealt with in an able and elaborate report by the Director of Public Works which has already been laid before you (Sessional l'aper). That report has been referred to Mr. OSBERT CHADWICK, who concurs in the proposals contained therein. The Secretary of State has communicated to me his approval of the scheme, and contracts have been entered into, with the approval of this Council, for the commencement of the works. The waterworks for Kowloon have also been completed, and a constant supply is now available over the southern portion of that peninsula.

The new system of signalling the approach of vessels has been completed in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee appointed in 1893.

The statue of the Queen in commemoration of Her Most Gracious Majesty's Jubilee has been erected on the Praya Reclamation and was unveiled by me on the 28th May, amidst general rejoicings and loyal demonstrations.

With respect to Taipingshan considerable progress has been made with the demolition of insanitary dwellings, and the necessary works for relaying out the resumed area for building purposes. Contracts have been entered into for dealing with about one half of the resumed area, and works in connection with the greater part of the remainder will shortly be commenced. A report on the subject will be laid on the table to which I direct your attention as the anticipations which I was led to form this time last year have not been fulfilled.

1194

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH DECEMBER, 1896.

As to the Praya Reclamation Works, though difficulties have arisen in connection with the rapid completion of certain portions, fair progress has been made. The Marine Lot-holders have, in several instances, obtained permission to enter into possession of their portions, and fine buildings are in course of erection on some of the land reclaimed.

·

In addition to the foregoing works, the condition of the villages has not been overlooked, and works of drainage, water supply, and general improvements have been completed, whilst others are in hand in Shaukiwan, Aberdeen, Mong-Kok-Tsui and Tai-Kok-Tsui. The requirements of the increasing population of the Hill District have not been lost sight. of, and it is proposed at an early date to commence the construction of an improved road from near Victoria Gap to the Mount Kellet Road.

:

The increasing requirements of the Colony in the matter of Government Offices and the question of providing new offices and concentrating them, so far as possible, under one roof, appeared to me to call for a special enquiry. I referred the matter accordingly to a Committee, whose report I have just received. That report will be published.

With respect to Education I regret to say that the experiences of the year have been some- what unfortunate. The recurrence of the plague, and the measures taken to prevent over- crowding, together with the rise in house rents resulting from those measures, caused a large number of Chinese, as I have already said, to send their women and children out of the Colony. The attendance at schools by Chinese children, and more particularly girls' schools, decreased considerably; the decrease amounting to probably 30 per cent. of their normal attendance. The attendance at five Chinese schools ceased entirely and the schools had to be closed, but as three new schools have been opened in places unaffected by plague and its consequences the total number of schools under the Education Department is 119 as compared with 121 in 1895. The above unsatisfactory experiences have been confined almost entirely to schools attended by the poorer classes of the native population. The other schools, especially those attended by non-Chinese children, have for the most part retained their normal attendance. Efforts are being made to increase the number of schools offering English teaching to natives, but only one school of this description could be opened during the present year. Steps have been taken, however, to improve the teaching of English at Queen's College, and in order to allow more time for that purpose, the purely Chinese branch of that establishment has been entirely abolished.

With regard to shipping, Hongkong continues to hold an important position amongst the Ports of the Empire. During the nine months ending 30th September last, over 7,000 ships of European construction entered and cleared at the Harbour Office, bringing and taking away cargoes amounting to nearly 55 per cent. of their registered tonnage, and conveying to and from the Colony 1,026,469 passengers..

In addition to these, 53,000 trading junks carried 1,309,338 tons of cargo in and out, and conveyed 161,991 passengers.

Compared with the same period of 1895 this means an increase of 412 European con- structed vessels, carrying 233,675 more tons of cargo, and an increase of over 8,600 junks with 125,638 tons of cargo, and a total increase in the passenger traffic amounting to 1,986.

A correspondence with the Unofficial Members in regard to the proposed abolition of the Light Dues levied to cover the cost and maintenance of Gap Rock Lighthouse will be laid on the Council table.

I consider that I am bound to redeem the pledge given by my Predecessor to the effect that this special rate should cease as soon as the cost of the Lighthouse had been defrayed.

With a view of covering the deficit which will result from this abolition five of the six Unofficial Members are of opinion that a fixed charge of 2 cents per ton should in future be imposed as light dues on all shipping entering the harbour, and in that opinion. I concur.

The criminal statistics are highly satisfactory. Comparing the number of cases under various headings for the 12 months ending 31st October, 1896, with those for the preceding twelve months we find decreases of 21 per cent. in robberies from the person, 53 per cent. in burglaries and larcenies from dwellings, 30 per cent. in cases of obtaining money under false. pretences, 37 per cent. in cases of unlawful possession, and 7 per cent. in larcenies. There

:

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH. DECEMBER, 1896. 1195

were 25 cases of wilful wounding as against 17 in the preceding period, and 14 more cases under the Women and Girls' Protection Ordinance than in the previous 12 months. The increases under various other heads are trifling and the number of murder cases was the same for both periods.

The new Home of the Po Leung Kuk, or Society for the Protection of Women and Girls was opened by me on the 13th of November. Government contributed, towards the cost of its erection, a sum of $20,000. The Society has already done good work, and it is hoped, that now it is in possession of a Home, it will be able not only to continue its labours, but to carry them on more efficiently. It gives me pleasure at all times to aid the Chinese community of this Colony in charitable work, such as that of protecting those who are not able to protect themselves, and I shall always be ready to give them what assistance lies in my power to render such work as thorough as possible.

From the foregoing remarks, gentlemen, you will gather that on the whole the condi- tion of the Colony socially, politically, and financially, is very satisfactory. We have had during the term of my Government two visitations of plague. We have had strikes, several typhoons and on one occasion a vast and unparalleled exodus of people, but Hongkong has held its own with wonderful vitality. Government has not harassed the community with unnecessary or vexatious legislation. The law has been enforced whenever it was necessary, but the community, speaking generally, is happily a law abiding one. The revenue bas increased and is increasing with the growth of population, and the only drawback to a wider and more extensive outlook is the limited area of the Colony itself.

In conclusion, gentlemen, you will believe me when I say that as long as I remain here-and for how much longer that may be I cannot tell-I shall continue to co-operate with you in any measures having for their object the public good. I pray that your deli- berations under the blessing of God may conduce not only to the honour of Her Majesty The QUEEN, but to the increased happiness and welfare of the entire community of this Her Majesty's possession in the Far East.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Bill is to amend and consolidate the law relating to the protection of women and girls, and, at the same time, to introduce into this Colony certain provisions of the English Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885 (48 and 49 Vict. cap. 69) which seem to be applicable to local circum- stances.

Section 3, subsection I, of the Bill is, as will be seen, wider in its scope than section 4, subsection I, of Ordinance 11 of 1890, inasmuch as the new section includes bringing etc., a girl with intent to purchase her, and also with intent to take her in pledge or on hire.

Moreover the words "decoying or enticing" have been introduced into the subsection, having been borrowed from section 11 of Ordinance 11 of 1890, which section has not been re-enacted in the present Bill.

It will be noted too that subsection 3 of section 3 of the Bill is wider in its scope than subsection 3 of the repealed section. It will be also observed that the words "either within or without the Colony " have been added to each subsection of section 3 in order to prevent the recurrence of a difficulty which has constantly arisen as to whether a man can be held liable whose intention is to dispose of a woman or girl so that she may become a prostitute outside of the Colony.

Section 4 of the Bill is an exact adaptation of section 2 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885, and is much wider in its terms than section 5 of Ordinance 11 of 1890 which it supersedes.,

Section 5 is a simple re-enactment of section 6 of Ordin- ance 11 of 1890.

Section 6 embodies the existing law as to criminal assaults upon girls under twelve.

Section 7 enlarges the scope of the corresponding section of Ordinance 11 of 1890 (section 7) by making it an offence to take, etc. a girl "away from the Colony" as well as to bring her "into the Colony." It also makes such taking or bringing an offence whether the prostitution is to take place within the Colony or not.

Section 8 introduces into this Colony, almost verbatim, the provisions of section 8 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885, and supersedes the similar provisions of sub- section 1 of section 8 of Ordinance 11 of 1890.

Section 9 contains divers prohibitions against obtaining connexion with a woman or girl under circumstances of undue advantage.

Section 10 introduces into this Colony the provisions of section 6 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885 except that it reduces the age from thirteen to twelve.

Section 11 re-enacts, though in somewhat altered lan- guage, the provisions of section 9 of Ordinance 11 of 1890. Section 12 is a repetition with slight alterations of section 10 of Ordinance 11 of 1890.

Sections 13, 14, 15, and 16, relating to the rape and abduction of women and girls are simply re-enactments of the existing law as to offences against the person, with the exception of the last paragraph of section 13 which is taken from section 4 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885.

1218

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH DECEMBER, 1896.

Section 17 which also relates to abduction is taken from section 7 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885.

Section 18 is founded upon section 17 of the English Prevention of Cruelty to Children Act 1894, and is in- tended to meet the difficulty which exists in the case of Chinese of obtaining strict legal proof of age.

Section 19 introduces the provisions of section 9 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885.

Section 20 follows section 20 of the Criminal Law Amend- ment Act in making parties and their husbands and wives competent witnesses. The corresponding section of Ordi- nance 11 of 1890 (section 29) makes no provision for the husband or wife of the parties charged being called as a witness, but there appears to be no valid reason for not following the English law in toto upon this point.

Section 21 re-enacts the provisions of section 32 of Ordinance 11 of 1890.

Section 22 corresponds with section 12 of Ordinance 11 of 1890, and prescribes the term of imprisonment for certain offences against the Ordinance, and section 24 which cor- responds with section 13 of the Ordinance of 1890 sanctions the infliction of a whipping in certain cases.

Section 17 of Ordinance 11 of 1890 has not been re- enacted because a refuge for girls has now been completed. Subsection 3 of section 27 of the Bill is new, and has been suggested by the Registrar General.

It does not seem necessary to re-enact the provisions of section 20 of Ordinance 11 of 1890, which limited to a cer- tain extent the duration of Part II. of that Ordinance. By an unanimous resolution of the Legislative Council, passed on the 12th of April, 1894, Part II. of Ordinance 11 of 1890 was continued in force for a period of five years from that date.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 15th December, 1896.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

(Honourable T. H. Whitehead to the Governor.)

His Excellency

SIR,

HONGKONG, 2nd December, 1896.

I have the honour to address your Excellency with reference to your com- munication to the unofficial members of Council, made through the senior member, on the subject of the Gap Rock Light Dues, under date the 12th November. Mr. CHATER in his letter in reply, dated the 27th ultimo, has informed you of my intention to do so, and of my dissent from the opinions expressed by him on behalf of his other colleagues in the Council on the subject in question. I dissent so strongly, both as to the procedure adopted by your Excellency in bringing the matter before the members of Council privately, and on the merits of the question, and I deem it of such importance to the public, that I propose to now publish the whole correspondence, and to refer the subject to the Secretary of State.

I take leave to call your Excellency's attention in the first place to the fact that although the letter of the Chamber of Commerce, calling the attention of the Government to the fact that the time had arrived for the abolition of the Gap Rock Light Dues, was dated the 31st July last, it was not until the 12th ultimo that any step appears to have been taken with a view to the consideration of the question. I note in the second place that it was not until the 19th November that the Estimates for the year 1897 were circulated to members, and that they contain no suggestion of any intention on the part of the Government to relieve the trade of the Colony of the burden imposed on shipping for a special purpose long since accomplished, or any proposals for any alternative measure.

I beg most respectfully to submit that the delay in the preparation and publication of the Estimates, and especially the delay in taking action on the Chamber of Commerce letter of the 31st July, is most injurious to the public interests, and prevents any proper and adequate consideration of the important questions involved, either by the responsible members of the Council or by the public who are directly interested. The Estimates will be laid upon the Council table to-morrow for the first time, and will then only become known to the community generally. I understand that they must be passed before the end of the month, and there is now no time left for their proper and effective consideration. I feel it my duty to formally protest against the holding back of the Estimates until the very last month in the year.

I beg further most respectfully to protest against the method recently adopted by the Government of privately consulting the unofficial members of Council on

Sir WM. ROBINSON, K.C.M.G.,

Governor, Hongkong.

1222 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH DECEMBER, 1896.

matters the consideration of which ought properly and must ultimately be brought before the Council at its public sittings, and of obtaining from them, in writing through the senior member, opinions on matters on which subsequently they are called on to vote in open Council. Such consultations must tend to render the meetings of Council farcical. There can be no real consideration or discussion, all being cut and dried beforehand. The public may have no opportunity of hearing the reasons put forward by the Government in support of their views, and the unofficial members must be deprived of the opportunity of learning the opinions on the subject, of those they are supposed to represent, whatever it may be. The continuance of such methods must render the proceedings of the Council pro forma, and I submit they are unconstitutional.

I desire that the point and my complaint may be referred to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and that his special attention may be directed to this, that if such a course of procedure is permissible at any time and I do not say that within limits it is not-this question of the Gap Rock Light Dues is the very last that should be dealt with in that way. It is a question affecting the freedom of the port, affecting directly every merchant and trader, a question which ought to be as publicly and as thoroughly ventilated as possible, and to the consideration of which and of the possible consequences of the abolition or retention of the tax, the greatest length of time should be given. The Chamber of Commerce, directly representing the mercantile and shipping interest, make strong representations on the subject, and their representations and opinions should not, I think, be overruled by a secret conclave of gentlemen one only of whom, Mr. BELL-IRVING, directly represents the mercantile and shipping world, and who in fact was absent from the meeting of unofficial members at which the question was settled. The other unofficial members are large land owners or largely interested in land and property, and only indirectly interested in the trade and freedom of the port. This is not a question which should be left to the unofficial members to settle in private, and without a full statement in public of their reasons and a full consideration and discussion of all possible alternatives. There may be a discussion in open Council, and speeches may be made, but there will be no bona fide debate. There cannot be, when the conclusion has been pre-arranged.

As to the question of the abolition of the Gap Rock Light Dues, I am dis- tinctly of opinion that they ought to be abolished. They were imposed for a temporary purpose which has been effected, and, more, they have left a considerable credit balance in hand. There should be no tax of any kind on shipping, no matter how slight or for whatever purpose. Hongkong was established as a free port. It has attained its present position because it has been a free port. It can only maintain its position by remaining an entirely and an absolutely free port. The landowners, the merchants, the traders, the professional men, all who are making their livelihood in Hongkong, owe their prosperity to the presence of the shipping. A free port opened on the neighbouring coast would draw away a large portion of our shipping, and the establishment of such a port has been and is now in contemplation. The residents in Hongkong should be willing to pay a "bonus" if it were needful to encourage ships and steamers to this port. The Light Dues may be a mere trifle in themselves, but in these days of keen compe- tition and careful calculation of expenses they have to be taken into account. It is the principle of freedom I contend for. I cordially support the request of the Chamber of Commerce for the abolition of the Gap Rock Light Dues, and I object to the impost of the same dues under another name. I am not satisfied that it is necessary to substitute some other source of revenue, but if additional taxation is an absolute necessity, there are, it seems to me, other available sources of income. House property more than any other interest derives its value from the shipping, the fees for spirit licences might be increased or doubled, and there are considera- tions arising out of the Opium Farm and opium, and suggestions might be made in connection therewith for raising any required addition to the revenue. Had the

question been referred to the Finance Committee of Council within a reasonable period of the date on which the Chamber of Commerce brought it to the notice of Government there would have been adequate time for its examination and discus- sion, and the expenditure or economy in the cost of the administration could have been simultaneously considered, but now in the last days of the year the Estimates must be hurried through without delay.

I respectfully protest against this method of bringing forward important questions for debate at the latest possible moment. I further protest against secret confabulations between the unofficial members of Council on public ques- tions, and at the reduction of the debates in Council to a mere pro formu discussion on resolutions already arrived at.

I may be permitted to point out that in the Straits Settlements, with their enormous area and extensive interests, the Government there laid the Estimates for 1897 on the Council table on the 1st of October last.

I have the honour to request that this my protest may be forwarded at your Excellency's earliest convenience to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

T. H. WHITEHEAD.

Extract from the "Daily Press" of 4th December, 1896.

GAP ROCK LIGHT DUES.

THE PRIVATE MEETING OF UNOFFICIAL MEMBERS.

The

His EXCELLENCY-Gentlemen, I have the honour to lay upon the table certain correspondence respecting the abolition of the Special Gap Rock Light Dues. I have taken the liberty of laying this paper on the table myself because I wish to say that late last night, about a quarter to six, while engaged in official work, I received a vigorous protest which was written in his usual uncompromising style by the Honourable Member who has just been sworn in as representative of the Chamber of Commerce. I wish to say that the charge he has brought against ine of entering into private correspondence on the subject is utterly untrue. Honourable Member is aware of the saying, give a misstatement twenty-four hours' start and you cannot overtake it. The correspondence was perfectly public, so public that it might have been plastered on all the walls of all the houses in Hong- kong as far as I am concerned. I leave the unofficial members who are charged with holding a secret conclave and being engaged in "secret confabulations protect themselves from the charge. I feel sure that some of them have consulted their constituents, Dr. Ho KAI, I think, being one of them. The correspondence was perfectly public and there was no intention whatever on the part of the Government to keep it secret.

to

Honourable Ho KAI-Although it is unusual, I wish, since you have given me permission, to say a few words on this occasion. As a certain letter has been published by an Honourable Member of this Council casting a slur upon the whole of his unofficial colleagues in this Council, I think the earliest opportunity should be taken by individual members to clear themselves in public and give the true state of affairs in connection with this question. Your Excellency had referred this question of Light Dues to the unofficial members in the usual way. That of

course, so far as the reference to unofficial inembers is concerned, was a policy adopted by the Government and with that I had nothing to do. Whether that is a wise policy or an unwise policy it is not for me to criticise. But since your Excellency has seen fit to send a communication to the Honourable Senior Unoffi- cial Member, at his request we gathered together and discussed the question. Of course the meeting was not conducted as openly as meetings of this Council, and so far as I am concerned I also advocate the policy of the public participating in the unofficial members' deliberations in any place and at any time, and I think it would be better, if there is no objection on the part of the Government, that in future unofficial gatherings should be attended by the members of the Press at all events, so that our transactions there may not be misunderstood and misrepresented at the choice of anyone. Now the facts of the case are that about a fortnight ago your Excellency sent a communication to the senior unofficial member and he at once convened a meeting by circulating a communication to us, but unfortunately. I was not aware the communication was marked "Confidential." I do not know whether it was marked by the Government or not, but the mark was on the enve- lope, and that was explained to us as soon as I got to the first meeting. When I was asked by a member specially whether I should regard the mark "confidential" as binding upon me I at once said that I would not be bound by any marking on the envelope, since the business affected the interests of those I represent and not. my own interests.

　　　　　　　I further stated that I would not only decline to regard that as confidential, but any other communication of a like nature. It referred to me not in my private capacity but as a reprezentative of the Chinese, and I therefore would not regard it as binding on myself in any way. In that case, as in many other cases when I have received communications of that kind, I have discussed these questions with my constituents. Such were the facts as far as my position is concerned. Certainly this secret conclave does not apply to me.

I assure you

I never regarded such a meeting as a secret conclave. We expressed our opinions. to each other as freely as we could and after every meeting it is invariably my practice to tell the leading Chinese about it. I think my unofficial colleague, Mr. WEI A YUK, will confirm me when I say that previously no important question has been brought before the unofficial members that I would not disclose and give away. With regard to the section of the public which I have not the honour to , represent, I leave it to their own representatives to speak about. This question has been discussed at two meetings and the result communicated to your Ex- cellency. As soon as the result was communicated I think the Honourable Mem- ber for the Chamber of Commerce asked leave to publish the communication.

Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD-I did not ask if you would agree to its being published. I had a perfect right to publish it.

Honourable Ho KAI-You said you would publish it and we all said " Yes, certainly."

Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD-Did Mr. BELILIOS say so?.

Honourable E. R. BELILIOS-Oh, certainly.

Honourable Ho KAI-I understood it was unanimously agreed that there was no objection and that we had a perfect right to publish it. Another scrious charge has been brought against us and I take this opportunity, with your Excellency's permission, to publicly, emphatically, and strongly protest against an Honourable Member, whether official or unofficial, casting such an aspersion upon his honourable colleagues-men who are equally as if not more honourable than himself-certainly equally as honourable and as honest-as to say that a body of men had a private interest and a motive in advocating a policy which he considered to be injurious to the Colony. I say that is an aspersion which I take the first opportunity to publicly deny. So far as concerns myself I am not a landowner, nor am I interested in landed property, but those whom I have represented for the last few years, as his Excellency the Governor has appointed me, have large interests in the Colony and it is my duty to look after their interests and weigh

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH DECEMBER, 1896. 1225

them in conjunction with other interests, but I entirely repudiate the charge that I have acted for private and interested motives, and I can only say that aspersions and allegations of evil of that kind will not hurt the unofficial members as a body but will only rebound upon the maker and entertainer of such statements.

Honourable C. P. CHATER-- Your Excellency, after the very lengthy and able remarks of my honourable friend, Honourable Ho KAI, I have but very little to add. I may at once inform your Excellency and the members of the Council that I affirm every word and every statement made by Honourable Ho KAI. I go beyond that. With regard to private communications, the Honourable Member could not inform the Council whether there was any private communication between your Excellency and myself or between the Colonial Secretary and myself. That is a point I wish to answer for myself. I say most emphatically that I have never had any communication from his Excellency the Governor or from the Colonial Secretary which I have not immediately placed before my colleagues and half an hour after they have discussed it I have sent a reply to his Excellency. Beyond that I state most emphatically that I have never had any communication from his Excellency the Governor or from the Colonial Secretary.

Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD-Perhaps I may be permitted to make a few remarks. If I have misrepresented or made any misstatements I have done so quite unintentionally and I am very sorry for it. I submit, however, that the methods which have been followed by my honourable colleagues in discussing public questions of great importance are in my opinion unconstitutional and irregular. In reference to the correspondence, it cannot be regarded as otherwise than private if it is not made public. Letters are sent by the Governor to the unofficial members and they meet in secret. There are no reporters present and I consider that to conduct public business in such a way is totally opposed to constitutional Government and constitutional rule. As regards the Honourable Member's statement that I have cast aspersions and made charges, I submit that my letters will not bear any such interpretation and that a question of public importance should not be dealt with in the way this question has been dealt with. I would refer, in respect to the statement that the correspondence is not private, to the correspondence which passed between the unofficial members and the Government in connection with the Sanitary Board. These documents were, as far as I am aware, private, that is to say, they did not see the light of day for a very long period of time--about twelve months, and the community were totally unaware of what their representatives had said to the Government in their communications. If I have offended anyone I am extremely sorry as nothing was further from my intention..

The COLONIAL SECRETARY-I do not wish to prolong the discussion, nor is it my intention to do so, but it would throw considerable light on the matter if the Honourable Member would inform us if he consulted the Chamber of Commerce about this question." I have reason for saying that he did, and if that is so it would tend to show he did not regard it as private.

Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD-The Chamber unanimously agreed to address the Government on this question and I cordially supported what they did.

His EXCELLENCY-Have you consulted them on the subject of this correspondence?

Honourable T. II. WHITEHEAD-This correspondence was submitted only at a late hour in Committee and it was unanimously decided to strictly adhere to the recommendation addressed to the Government, but the question of the publishing of the letter from your Excellency to the senior unofficial member was postponed for further consideration.

The COLONIAL SECRETARY-Then I understand he has consulted the Committee of the Chamber and that he did not regard the correspondence as private.

Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD-I have never regarded it as private and it should never be so regarded by any honourable member.

The discussion then closed.
