AT THE COURT AT BALMORAL,

The 17th day of October, 1884. PRESENT,

W. H. MARSHI,

Colonial Secretary.

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862," it is enacted that, whenever it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of Merchant Ships for the time being in force under the principal Act have been adopted by the Government of any Foreign Country, and are in force in that Country, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by Order in Council, to direct that the ships of such Foreign Country shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry, or other national papers; and thereupon it shall no longer be necessary for such ships to be re-measured in any port or place in Her Majesty's Dominions, but such ships shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their Certificates of Registry, or other papers, in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purpose, in, to and for which the tonnage denoted in the Certificates of Registry of British ships is to be deemed the tonnage of such ships:

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measure- ment of tonnage of Merchant Ships now in force under "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," have been adopted by the Government of His Majesty the King of the Belgians, with the exception of a slight difference in the mode of estimating the allowance for engine-room, and such rules are now in force in that Country, having come into operation on the 1st day of January, 1884:

HER MAJESTY is hereby pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to direct as follows:

1. As regards sailing ships, that merchant sailing ships belonging to Belgium, the measurement whereof on or after the said 1st day of January, 1884, shall have been ascertained and denoted in the Certificates of Registry, or other national papers of such sailing ships, testified by the dates thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such Certificates of Registry, 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 Certificates of Registry of British sailing ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships.

As regards steam-ships, that merchant ships belonging to Belgium which are propelled by steam or any other power requiring engine-room, the measurement whereof on or after the said 1st day of January, 1884, shall have been ascertained and denoted in the Certificates of Registry, or other national papers of such steam-ships, testified by the dates thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such Certificates of Registry, 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 Certificates of Registry of British ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ship, provided, nevertheless, that, if the owner or master of any such steam-ship desires the deduction for engine-room in such ship to be estimated under the rules for engine-room measurement and deduction applicable to British ships, instead of under the Belgian rules, the engine-room shall be measured, and the deductions calculated, accor- ding to the British Rules.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

CIRCULAR.

DOWNING STREET,

27th November, 1884.

SIR,I have the honour to transmit to you the accompanying copies of a Memorandum which I have received from His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and which was prepared after previous full interchange of views between His Royal Highness and myself notifying the appointment by the Queen of a Royal Commission, and describing the proposed arrangements for the purpose of organizing and carrying out an Exhibition in London during the year 1886 of the Products, Manufactures, and Resources of Her Majesty's Colonial and Indian Empire.

It only remains for ine to recommend this undertaking on the most favourable consideration of your Government, and I rely with confidence on your own personal efforts to secure a worthy repre- sentation of the Colony under your Government.

I cannot doubt that the Government and people of Hongkong will share my satisfaction at learn- ing that this important undertaking will have the advantage of the personal superintendence of the Prince of Wales, whose administrative capacity is as well known to you as the warm interest with which His Royal Highness regards all matters connected with the Colonial Empire.

Governor Sir G. F. BOWEN, G.C.M.G.

I have, &c.,

DERBY.

MEMORANDUM relative to the COLONIAL AND INDIAN EXHIBITION, to be held in London in the year 1886, for the consideration of the Government of Hongkong.

MARLBOROUGH HOUSE, LONDON, S.W., 24th November, 1884.

The Official Gazette of the 18th of November, 1881, a copy of which is enclosed, notifies that Her Majesty the Queen has been pleased to nominate a Royal Commission for the purpose of organizing and carrying cut in London, during the year 1886, an Exhibition of the Products, Manufactures and Resources of the Colonial and Indian Empire.

In assuming the active Presidency of this Commission, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is desirous of having the opportunity of bringing prominently under notice the development and progress which have been made in the various parts of the British Empire, and His Royal Highness trusts that a more intimate knowledge may thus be obtained of the vast fields for enterprise which exist throughout the British Dominions.

His

It has been already stated that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales intends to take the same Executive part as in the case of the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1878, and His Royal Highness has, with the consent of Her Majesty's Government, selected Sir Philip Cunliffe-Owen, K.C.M.G., C.B., C.I.E., Director of the South Kensington Museum, to set as Secretary to the Royal Commission. Royal Highness intends, in any matters of special importance, to address himself personally to the Executive Commissioners of the respective Colonies; but he would be obliged by all general correspond- ence being carried on with the Secretary to the Royal Commission.

As regards the method of representation to be adopted by cach Colony or group of Colonies at the Exhibition, His Royal Highness specially wishes that, if possible, a single Excentive Commissioner should be appointed, with whom might be associated, if necessary, not more than two or three Assistant- Commissioners.

Enclosure No. 2.

Enclosure No. 1.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVTM GAZETTE OF 3RD JAN., 1885.

The Secretary to the Royal Commission will be prepared to act on behalf of any Colony which may not find it convenient to appoint an independent Commissioner.

An exact date cannot be fixed at this early period, but the Exhibition will probably be opened during the first fortnight in May, 1886. With the ample time which is being given to all those con- cerned, it is sincerely to be hoped that the work of installation may be complete at least a fortnight previous to the date of opening.

As the object of this Exhibition is to represent the progress and the development of each Colony, it has been considered impracticable to call upon the Colonial Governments to comply with any form of Classification, as has been the custom at previous Exhibitions. Each Colony is, therefore, at liberty to make a Classification most suitable to its own requirements.

In furtherance of this idea, His Royal Highness trusts that each Government will take an early opportunity of preparing a Catalogue of the objects intended for exhibition, which it is requested, may, for the sake of uniformity, be modelled somewhat on the principle of the enclosed specimen, more especially as regards size of page and style of type. It would considerably facilitate this object if each Government were to have its Catalogue printed in London, by Messrs. William Clowes & Sons, Limited, the Official Printers and Publishers to the Exhibition. Each Government will be at liberty to sell its own Catalogue, through the Official Publishers to the Exhibition; but it is necessary that the Royal Commission should receive, as soon as practicable, a digest of the Catalogue of each Colony in order that it may be embodied in a General Catalogue of the whole Exhibition, which will be published by the Commission.

Many points of interest will doubtless present themselves to the various Colonies; but His Royal Highness especially desires that careful statistics of each Colony, carrying the information to 1885, should be prepared in a clear and readable form so as to render this valuable information easily understood by the working classes of this country. Maps specially prepared for the information of the public, should also, as far as possible, be prominently shown in the various Courts. It is hoped that these statistics, as well as the maps on a reduced scale, will be largely made use of in the Catalogues.

Much interest is taken in this country in the Woods of the various Colonies, and His Royal Highness would be glad to find that, where Cases are required for the display of goods, these Cases should be made from the native Woods of the Colony, in order that a complete representation of the Woods of the British Empire may be practically shown.

With reference to the building Stones and Marbles of the Colonies, it is suggested that they should be sent over in the form of Pedestals, executed in accordance with the appended sketch to scale, and thereby adding uniformity, and rendering the specimens of commercial value.

As it is possible that the various Colonial Gevernments participating in the Exhibition may desire, as its outcome, that a permanent Colonial Museum should be founded in London, it has been suggested that strong reasons exist for showing the adaptability of its products, generally, in as practical a manner as possible; hence it is desirable that the Raw Product should be displayed in connection with the Manufactured Article.

It has been decided that Commemorative Medals should be given to all those taking part in the Exhibition; and it is hoped to have the assistance of specialists of known repute who will commence to make, at the opening of the Exhibition, exhaustive Reports on the Resources of the various Colonies as represented in the Exhibition. These Reports, issued at an early stage, will take the place of the Jury systems of previous Exhibitions.

Before closing this Memorandum, reference inay briefly be made to special features which His- Royal Highness has in view for the general advantage of the Exhibiting Governments.

It is intended to form a Library and Reading Room, where all Literature relating to the Colonies and India, that it may be possible to collect, may be at hand for reference. Not only will contributions be asked for from the Colonial Governments, but also from Home publishers.

Special arrangements will be provided for the practical illustration, in one special kitchen, of all the Colonial Frozen Meat Industries, and of the Colonial Preserved Meats, Fish and Vegetables. This department will be carried out by the Royal Commission itself, in crder that the due participation of the various interests concerned may be maintained. ·

There will also be a Colonial Fruit and Vegetable Market, which it is hoped that each Government will make arrangements to supply by monthly shipments. This department will also be under the control of the Royal Commission.

An exhibition of Colonial Wines will be organized by the Royal Commission.

A limited space will also be set apart for the exhibition of Living Animals from the Colonies. In assuming the control of these various departments, the Royal Commission wishes to afford to the actual Producers the advantages of a fair display in the Exhibition. The Importers will, no doubt, hereafter benefit, but the interests of the Producers, as Exhibitors, are of the first consideration; and it may be here mentioned that in these departments, as well as generally throughout the Exhibition, only bona fide Colonists can, through their respective Governments, participate in the Exhibition. It will not, therefore, be possible for the Royal Commission to entertain any applications, upon any pretence whatever, from Colonial Importers or Agents in this Country.

BY ORDER.

WEDNESDAY, 31ST DECEMBER, 1884.

PRESENT:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR

(SIR GEORGE FERGUSON BOWEN, G.C.M.G.)

His Honour the Chief Justice, (SIR GEORGE PHILLIPPO, Knt.)

The Honourable the Colonial Secretary, (WILLIAM HENRY MARSI, C.M.G.)

WILLIAM KESWICK.

THOMAS JACKSON.

FREDERICK DAVID SASSOON.

ABSENT:

The Honourable WONG SIING (by leave.)

The Council met in pursuance of adjournment.

Minutes read and confirmed.

VOTES PASSED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-The Colonial Secretary moved the adoption of the following vote arranged by the Finance Committee:-

That the Council now vote the sum of Fifty-five thousand six hundred and twenty-five pounds Sterling required as the contribution of this Colony to the effective defence of Hong- kong; it being understood that the armament to be provided by the Imperial Government will be of the best and latest pattern of breech-loading Ordnance, and capable of resisting attacks by the heaviest modern Iron-clads.

The Treasurer seconded the motion.

Mr. KESWICK addressed the Council.

Question-put and passed.

The Governor then addressed the Council, as follows:--

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.I thank you in the name of the QUEEN for this unanimous vote of the contribution required by Her Majesty's Government from this Colony towards the effective defence of Hongkong. This is.as we all know,— an object of great Imperial as well as Colonial importance. I entirely agree with you that in the terms of your vote "the armament to be provided by the Imperial Government should "be of the latest and best pattern of breech-loading Ordnance, and capable of resisting attacks by the heaviest modern Iron-clads." I shall press this point in the strongest manner possible on the Home Authorities; and General SARGENT has authorized me to say that he

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TM JANUARY, 1835.

will do the same. I have no doubt that we shall be successful; for by the later Parlia- mentary Papers issued on this subject, I find that the original vote for the armament of the Forts at Hongkong has been already doubled. There is also the subjoined paragraph in an Official letter from the War Oflice to the Treasury, dated November 1st, 1884;

"At the time the carlier Parliamentary Estimate was framed, it was intended to provide wrought iron guns as possessing sufficient power for the work they would be likely to be "called upon to perforin. The armaments of the Forts, however, are required to resist the present power of foreign ships which may attack them, and consequently must be of a more "formidable nature than was at first contemplated; therefore, some of the guns have been "chosen from the latest pattern of breech-loading Ordnance; which has greatly increased "the cost."

Once more, Honourable Gentlemen, in the name of the QUEEN, I thank you for this vote. REVISED ESTIMATES, 1885.-The Colonial Secretary laid on the table the revised Estimates for 1885, and made the following statement in connexion therewith :---

Residents at the other ports had to obtain them from one or other of these offices, which could not be arranged without a good deal of delay and trouble. Postal Notes on the United Kingdom for fixed amounts, varying from one shilling to twenty shillings, are now to be had at Canton, Swatow, Amoy, Fochow, Ningpo and Hankow, besides Hongkong and Shanghai. At present both Money Orders aid Postal Notes on the United Kingdom are on sale in these two latter offices, but the Postal Notes elvet such a simplification of accounts as compared with the Money Order system, that, during the present year, the question will be taken into consideration whether it is not possible to abolish Money Orders (on the United Kingdom) and use Postal Notes only.

3. Either means of remittance has its own advantages. The Postal Note is more quickly and easily obtained, it is payable anywhere in the United Kingdom and with less formality than the Money Order, whilst the saving of work it effects in the Post Office is immense. On the other hand the price of the Postal Note is fixed, so that the purchaser does not get the benefit of a rise in Exchange; the commission charged on each note makes the remittance of a broken sum comparatively rather expensive, whilst the sender's having to put seven or eight pieces of paper into his letter instead of one still further alls to this expense. A Postal Note lost is beyond remedy, whereas a Money Order may be lost and the money remain safe. It would however have been impossible to introduce the sale of Money Orders at or smaller offices, but Postal Notes can easily be sold at them all. If Postal Notes are made the moins of remittance it will be possible to continue their sale to an hour much nearer the time of e-Sag the mail than is at present the case with Money Orders.

4. Other additions to our Money Order system are in progress. Arrangements are under con- sideration for the exchange of Money Orders with Portugal, with the United States, and with Hawaii. It is hoped that before another annual Report is presented these exchanges may be in operation. The Mo gynder office now pays its own expenses, if indeed it does not secure a small profit. Instructions rived as to the presentation of Administrative Reports within the first seven days of the new year

detin for steamers."

5. The subject of a Savings Bank had long been under the consideration of this Department, but the last that every officer of it is overworked, and that no increase to the staff would have been sanctioned arious obstacle. At length a plan was submitted for conducting a Savings Bank two days a wk in the Stamp Office, which, under the same roof as the Post Office, is happily exempt from rushes of work inevitable in the Postal service of a Colony well described as a sort of Clapham for steamers." Whilst this plan was under consideration, however, the Hongkong and Bank offered to carry on a Savings Bank on terus in many respects more favourable to es than those contemplated by the Government scheme. This offer was accepted. Its main age is that the Bank is open every day, instead of two days a week only, and that depositors love $100 to credit can at once open a Banking account and increase their deposits indefinitely. inst this may be set the fact that the deposits are not secured by the Government, but this would to have been no obstacle to the success of a Savings Bank at Shanghai, and need not be here. Hongkong Savings Bank was opened on May 1st, and already more than $50,000 has been

6. An attempt was made, in connection with this Savings Bank, to introduce the system, so popular at home, of encouraging children and others to save small sums by means of Postage Stamps. In the United Kingdom every child who can from time to time purchase twelve penny stamps, and who affixes them to a form supplied free at any Post Office, is entitled to be credited with a shilling in the Post Office Savings Bank, which receives more than £200 a week in these little sums alone. It can hardly be said that it was hoped to introduce more thrifty habits amongst a certain class of our younger fellow citizens, but it was felt that at least the attempt should be made. Whether, however, pocket money is not a Hongkong institution, or whether other attractions are too strong, certain it is that the ten-cent system of saving does not seem to take hold of the young here as the penny system does in England. Only $65 has been thus collected since the Bank was opened.

7. It was hoped that another year would not come to an end without the establishment of an effective Parcels Post between China and the United Kingdom. The subject has not been lost sight of and is under consideration. It is to be feared however that one of the points always advocated by this Office-freedom from Customs interference--will not be secured.

8. On the 1st March the Post Office of Macao assumed its proper position as a Portuguese Post Office under the Postal Union, the previous irregular arrangement by which it was worked as a kind of honorary Agency of this Office (but an Agency under no control) being discontinued. The necessity for this change had been more than once urged on the Post Office of Macao, but until the arrival of the present Governor of that Settlement nothing was done in the matter.

9. Corea is also moving in the direction of admission into the Postal Union, and it is quite possible that that ignis fatuus which has long flitted before the eager eyes of philatelists--a Corean Postage stamp-may ere long become a tangible reality. For years past this Office has been accustomed to receive almost touching appeals for Corean Stamps, when there was about as much possibility of Similar applications obtaining them as there is of getting the postage stamps (if any) of the moon. are sometimes received begging for the stamps of Kashgar, of Thibet, &c.

10. A considerable increase in the sale of stamps is due to the action of the San Francisco Customs in seizing all the letters which Chinese passengers attempt to smuggle in their baggage or about their persons. The return of 25,000 of these smuggled letters from San Francisco by one steamer created something like a panic in the Chinese Community.

11. Through the co-operation of the Police department arrangements have been completed for signal- ling the arrival of the English mail from the new Kowloon Police Station at night, and when the wea- ther is cloudy and the l'eak signal station obscured. These arrangements have already been most successful, and effectually prevent the serious inconveniences connected with the arrival of an unsignal-

led mail.

12. Enquiries were set on foot as to whether it would not be possible to have the French mail sorted at Singapore during the stay of the steamer there, but the practical difficulties were, as before, found to be too many for any hope of success.

13. On September 9th the P. & O. packet Brindisi arrived here with both the English and French mails on board, owing to the Djemnak's having been quarantined in Egypt. The mail officer on board had sorted all the letters by both mails, which were ready for delivery five minutes after the bags reached the Post Office. The papers took an hour and a quarter to sort, the operations being much retarded by the thy tarred bags in which the continental mails were enclosed as a kind of fetish against cholera. Quarantine as applied to mails is generally imagined by scientific authorities to be useless, but it is not so. It induces a salutary exercise of patience on the part of Postal Officers.

14. The English mail once arrived unsorted, from a cause which could not have been forescen. The sorting was completed on shore in less than an hour and a half, in spite of hindrances from tarred bags.

15. The warlike operations between France and China have of course had their effect on the work of this Department as on everything else. The Messageries line between Hongkong and Shanghai has been temporarily discontinued, and the mails are conveyed by private steamers. There has been some difficulty in getting mails to Foochow, and it was latterly found impossible to get correspondence for the French fleet delivered there at all. On October 3rd, when the Saghalien arrived with the French mail, some excitement prevailed amongst the labouring classes of Chinese here, and it was not easy to get the mails on shore, nor to get them brought up to the Post Office. During the last two months the Island of Formosa has been blockaded, and the opportunities of exchanging correspondence have of course been very fitful.

year

16. Considerable numbers of dye and sugar samples have been intercepted during the their transit through the post, and destroyed, the attention of the despatching Office being in all cases called to the fact, and the name and address of the sender being forwarded to it. Samples of aniline dye are most anischievous. No matter how they are packed, the contents generally leak out, and one of them will spoil a whole bag of other correspondence.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 10TH JAN., 1885. 37

17. The Assistant Postmaster General (Mr. TRAVERS) went to Europe on leave in February last and has been temporarily replaced by Mr. W. D. HUTCHISON, whose energy and suggestive mind have slo him a most valuable addition to a Department otherwise much undermanned. Whilst the habit, far too common in the Colonial Service, of thinking anybody good enough for the Post Office, can only to deply deplored, it does not follow that because an Officer has no previous acquaintance with Postal

will be useless when transferred to it. On the contrary, the "old hand," who has been ed to the Post Office for years, is apt to get into a groove, and into that state of mind which is own as not being able to see the wood for the trees. Much progress in the Postal service has resulted in the suggestions of outsiders. Sir ROWLAND HILL (then Mr. HILL) had no knowledge of Postal when he pressed his reforms upon an unwilling Department. A striking improvement in sorting, which has been copied here, was urged upon the Singapore Post Office by a member of the community; , similarly, both Mr. TRAVERS and Mr. HUTCHISON, within a few weeks of their appointments, had le valuable suggestions on points which for years had escaped the notice of the trained staff of this

1. Otherwise, the Department has been very short-handed. No summer is recollected with so ness. The senior clerk was thrown from a vehicle and so severely injured as to keep him oil for six months. Another and equally valuable officer caught a chill from working in wet during one of our heavy rushes of night work) and this resulted in a kind of paralytic seizure kept him absent for a long time. Sometimes there would be as many as five absent (out of ) whilst even those who were here were working under difficulties from inflamed feet, swollen toothache, &c. If it is remembered that in the Post Office it is impossible to get in an extra hand fra beginner is worse than useless in the manual work of the office for at least three months) it will hy son that the officers of this Department have not had, during the past summer, exactly the easy time of it which some persons are pleased to believe they enjoy. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, there has never been a period when so few complaints have been received as to alleged missing letters as during the year under review. One firm indeed reported the loss of several entire mails for Europe, containing most valuable enclosures, but there is no doubt these letters were stolen on their way to the Post Office, whither they were sent without the precaution even of a chit-book. The usual nuinber of complaints has of course been made as to the non-arrival or late arrival of papers from home, and in some instances they have been urged with a good deal of temper. It is hard to see why this Depart- ment is to be made responsible for the laches of London errand-boys. The papers do not arrive, and there is an end of it. There are two almost invariable causes for these delays. Late Posting, and Insuffi- cint Payment. News-agents find it easy to throw all the blame on the Post Office, and their customers. seem to prefer to believe them.

19. The London Post Office raised the question whether the present subsidised mail service cannot be discontinued on the expiration of the existing contract, and the mails carried by private steamers as is the rule across the Atlantic. The Report of this Department is printed as an Appendix.

20. Allusion is made in that report to the complaints which, since the discontinuance in 1881 of the subsidised P. & O. service to Japan, have been received from all the foreign settlements there. This matter is gone into so fully in a correspondence with the London Post Office, also printed as an Alix, that it is not necessary to add more than one observation, which is this. If the Editors of Japanese newspapers really imagine that the violent language they are fond of using towards this Office is likely to do any good, it may surely be supposed they would take the trouble to forward copies of their remarks to the Department believed to be in fault. So far from this being the case, there has been considerable difficulty in getting to know the dates on which the mails reach Japan, or any other details. Yet obviously the first step towards rectifying a grievance is to find out what it is.

21. One word may perhaps be permitted as to the local delivery of correspondence in Hongkong. This is what the late MR. FAWCETT said of recent improvements in delivery in English Provincial

towns;-

"As bearing upon the increase of deliveries, the great importance of affording every practicable facility which would sparage local correspondence has continued to be kept steadily in view. This object can be in many cases much promoted increasing the number of collections from pillar boxes in provincial towns, It is often found possible in this way to sices the delivery of a letter in the town within two or three, hours after it has been posted.”

That is in England, where everything is arranged for the arrival of mails by Railway at fixed hours. Now let us see what is demanded in this "Clapham Junction for steamers," where nothing is get to happen but the unexpected. A resident in Canton sends on board the morning steamer a letter for Hongkong. He does not post it, that would be too much to ask, he tosses it on board without postage stamp or prepayment of any kind. It reaches this Office, unpaid of course, during afternoon. The American mail, we will say, is leaving at three, the English mail at four, and an Australian mail at five. In a word, within three hours mails have to be despatched to every part of world. Meanwhile the Coast steamer has arrived, with half a dozen others, from Saigon, Hoihow, Manila, the Straits, &c., &c. The Canton resident's correspondent considers it very hard if his paid letter is not brought to him and the postage collected in time for him to answer it by the

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 10TH JAN., 1885.

return boat which leaves at half past five. That is, he must receive it within half an hour at most from the time of its reaching the Post Office. The above is not at all an extreme or exceptional case, but fairly embodies the general view here as to local delivery, and the problem the Post Office has to solve. When an occasional failure occurs in solving it, it may be permissible to repeat as some grain of encouragement, "It is often found possible to secure the delivery of a letter in the town within two or three hours after it has been posted."

(B.)-REPORT ON THE PROPOSED ABOLITION OF SUBSIDIES.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, September 1st, 1884.

SIR,--With reference to Lord DERBY's Despatch No. 174 of July 25th, on the subject of the arrangements to be made on the termination of the present mail contract, I have the honour to report as follows.

2. Lord DERBY's Despatch, which was referred to me by order of the Governor, raises three questions:--

(a.) Would it be possible to do away with subsidies, and to entrust the mails to the most suitable vessels starting on the voyage for China, paying by weight only, as is about to be done in the case of mails for the United States.

(b.) Could the mails be transported by way of Bombay and Calcutta.

(c.) As to revision of the existing distribution of expense.

3. A memorandum from Mr FAWCETT, the Postmaster General of the United Kingdom, which is quoted by Lord DERBY, expresses the opinion that carriage of the mails by all or any of the companies running steamers between England and China would afford the communities here more frequent and less expensive means of communication than at present. It would be a very important point to this Colony if such a result could be brought about, because the existing mail service is costing us £6,000 a year. But I am of opinion that whatever economy may result from the suppression of subsidies, frequency of communication will be lessened; and regularity of communication, which is at least as important as either frequency or quickness, will have a tendency to disappear.

4. In forecasting what would happen on the withdrawal of the P. & O. subsidy, an important element in the question is, what would be the movements of the P. & O. steamers themselves? It seems reasonable to suppose that what has taken place between Hongkong and Japan would be reproduced all along the line. That is to say the boats would start with fair regularity perhaps, but their movements and their ports of call would be entirely governed by considerations relating to cargo, so that it would be quite possible that a P. & O. steamer which had left Europe before the French mail might arrive here after it.

5. There are enough steamers, take them all together, to allow of a mail from Europe arriving in Hongkong every two or three days. Such a state of things would be indeed desirable if it could be counted on. The mails would be smail, would be quickly dealt with, and there would be much less rush and impatience about their distribution than at present. But it is as useless to hope for this as it would be to believe that meteorologists will ever be able to arrange that rain shall fall only when it is convenient. The steamers would come in, as they do at present, three and four within a day or two, and then no more perhaps for nearly a fortnight.

6. I submit that there is little analogy between the lines of steamers plying to China and those which cross the Atlantic. There are no ports of call in the Atlantic, the voyage occupies little over a week, and first-class steamers leave regularly enough to ensure the regular arrival of the mails at either end of the route. But the voyage to China occupies from 4 weeks to 8 or even 9 weeks, according to the class of vessel; there are several Ports of call; and the chances of

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 10TH JAN., 1885. 39

passing one another would introduce endless confusion into the service. tinually arriving after those which left later. I do not see how the London Post Office is to form any reasonable Letters which left London earlier would which of three steamers leaving London or Liverpool for China within the same week will arrive first. We cannot it between here and Shanghai, a voyage of 4 days! The experience of this Office in transmitting mails for Japan P. & O. subsidy was withdrawn shews how impossible it is to secure any thing like regularity of arrival by means teamers alone. The most anxious care has been exercised to select the best opportunities, but the result has been Er communities of Japan have been continually complaining ever since the change was made. With regard to ward mails, few persons except merchants would ever have much idea when they would leave, and, as often as norier would be

very short.

I therefore the French packets continued running, the whole situation would resolve itself into heavy fortnightly rwarded by their means. The outward mails would take at least four hours to sort, and we should have all the old Kain (now almost forgotten) of firms having their correspondence addressed to Singapore and sent up by private 5 to get it quickly, &c. This might be economical, but it would not be pleasant, nor could it be called progress. It is useless to suppose that any inducement would prevail on the public to correspond by private steamers if the h mails were available.

could be forwarded with fair regularity by private steamers for 6d. I believe there was only one person in the When the postage to and from England was 1/4d. by the mail, every body here knew that munity who took advantage of the lower rate, and that person was a lady.

The abolition of a subsidised service could be effected to some extent by not extending the contract beyond Singa- quite sufficient steamers between Singapore and Hongkong, and between Hongkong and Shanghai, to carry ut any very serious delay, and probably the English mail would always reach Hongkong and generally ore the next French mail overtook it. Between Ceylon or India and Singapore there are not enough Many of the Canal boats as they are called come direct from Suez to Penang or Singapore without calling I do not wish to be understood as recommending the curtailing of the subsidised line, but the Home Government for information and I merely say that this could be done. The results would be disagreeable in many ways. rity would disappear from the service. Marine sorting would have to be discontinued. Persons would get their through irregular channels to obtain them quicker. A responsible and very thankless task would be thrown on the re and Hongkong Offices of selecting the steamers to carry on the mails. Whatever steamer was selected, the tity concerned would but too often be apt to consider it was the wrong one, for that community would criticise, the event, a choice which would have to be made before it. Continual complaints, like those which have arisen in since the P. & O. service was discontinued, would become common in Shanghai and in Hongkong also. 11. With regard to the suggestion of forwarding mails via Bombay, no doubt it might be done if there were any ular means of communication between either Calcutta or Madras and Hongkong. But except the monthly Indian amers from Calcutta, and a monthly French steamer from Calcutta and Madras, there are none. re arrived at in consultation with Mr. F. R. Hoag of the Indian Post Office.

But unless some regular weckly or at least fortnightly means existed of bringing the mails on from Madras, this route would be useless for all practical purposes.

On the question of the Distribution of expenses it is of course the opinion in this Colony that Hongkong should not contribute per cent of its Revenue towards subsiding a mail service which costs the United Kingdom, without allowing for reimbursements, only 3 per cent of its Revenue. to need further to dwell on it.

YOKOHAMA, 12th August, 1884,

SIR,--We beg to bring to your notice the great inconvenience we have been put to by the action of the Postinaster in Hongkong.

The mails from London of 27th June arrived in Hongkong 31st July, and the connecting Steamer of the P. & O. Com- pany, viz. the Thibet, which, unfortunately for us, is not under contract with H. B. M. Government, left that port on 2nd instant for this via Nagasaki and Kobe, arriving here only yesterday morning. The Steamer Gordon Castle left Hongkong 3rd instant, and arrived here this inorning, but, for some inscrutable reason, our muails were detained until 4th instant, and then put on board a slow vessel called the Altnacraig, which as yet (11 A.M.) has not made her appearance.

Since the subsidy for the Japan line was withdrawn we have been frequently subjected to inconvenience of this kind, and we trust H. B. M. Government may yet see fit to renew it.

Meantime we, in common with our fellow residents here, will feel greatly obliged if any representations or instructions from you to the Hongkong Post Office will tend to prevent such mismanagement as the case we have now described.

We remain, &c.,

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, 23rd October, 1884.

SIR, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 295,918 of September 19th on the subject of a complaint from Messrs. BISSET & Co. of Yokohama relating to the delay which took place in transmitting to Yokohama the mail despatched from your Office on June 27th.

2. It is characteristic of the treatment which this Department receives from the Yokohama community that Messrs. BISSET & Co. should endeavour to get behind the Hongkong Post Office with a complaint of which no copy was forwarded to me. This is the second attempt of the kind that has been made. It is equally characteristic that Messrs. BISSET & Co. should not even wait till the steamer as to which they complained had come in, nor for the full explanation which, as they very well know, has always been afforded whenever any difficulty has arisen, but should, as is customary at Yokohama, fly at this Office with all manner of charges before they were in possession of the facts of the case.

3. It has been explained to the public of Yokohama again and again that it is absolutely impossible for this Office to predict what steamer will reach that port first, if only for the reason that the departures of vessels from Hongkong are frequently postponed at the last moment, or, what makes the matter still more difficult, delayed from hour to hour, the Agent meanwhile assuring this Office that he expects to get the vessel away any minute. Meanwhile other steamers may have left, and if they arrive at Yokohama first the outcry against the Post Office begins all over again as if it were the first time the subject had been heard of.

4. In the case in question this Office was no doubt to some extent misled by incorrect information. The real cause of the delay however was not the slowness of the Altnacraig, but the fact that at the last moment a fight broke out amongst the crew, which detained the steamer here from Saturday evening till Tuesday morning. When intelligence of her detention reached the Post Office the other steamers were gone. The same cause of delay inight have happened to either of them. Every possible enquiry had been made by this Department, and, under the same circumstances, the same decision would again be come to. No reasonable would have thought of putting the mail on board the Thibet, yet, as it

person happened, the Thibet was the first to arrive. The commander of the Gordon Castle, the only other steamer, was himself one of the persons who advised this Office to send the mail by the Altnacraig, although he would have preferred to draw the allowance made by the Japanese Post Office for carrying it.

5. Two routes are open for the conveyance of the English mails for Yokohama, viz., by direct steamers, or by the P. & O. steamers which call at Nagasaki and Kobe. The direct route should of course be the quickest, but then the Whenever this P. & O. steamers are faster than many of the private ships by which the mails would otherwise be sent. Office selects the unsuccessful route, the Yokohama papers immediately proclaim the other as that which should invariably be adopted. Thus, if a direct steamer arrives first, it is asked why the Hongkong Post Office cannot always send the mail by direct steamer. The next time, the reverse happens, and then it is demanded why the mails are not regularly sent by as Messrs. BISSET & Co. call it, because it happened to be a success on that the P. & O. steamer ("the connecting steamer occasion.)

6. The Yokohama community forget also that whilst merchants and Bankers here prepare their correspondence for Japan in duplicate, so that it is comparatively easy for them to secure the earliest arrival of documents, this Office has only one mail to send.

7. This Office has not failed to secure the arrival of the mail in Yokohama by the first steamer more than three or four times in four years. Once, and once only, we were distinctly to blame, as was amply acknowledged. If this sort of correspondence is to continue, I shall have to consider whether it will not be better to put the mails for Japan on whichever steamer is leaving first, no matter what vessel it is or by what route it is going. The Yokohama Chamber of Commerce has been asked to appoint an Agent here who would direct this Office in the matter, but this suggestion has been ignored, in fact none of the Japanese communities will take the smallest trouble to secure the carrying out of their wishes.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.—No. 24.

The following Annual Report from the Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation

ent, for the year 1884, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th January, 1885.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

BOTANIC GARDEN, 7th January, 1885.

S-I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on this Department for 1884.

2. With the completion of the laying out and arrangement of the last remaining portion of land for garden extension (paragraph No. 4 of my Report for 1883), the Gardens have developed as far as seems possible in the locality in which they are situated. Any further extension may be desirable will have to be in the nature of branches at some distance from the central Therefore the available resources and energy have been chiefly directed during the year to improvement and completion of works which needed closer attention and more support. The ptionally sterile nature of the soil of this "barren rock," the exposed aspect of the Gardens and ee of water for artificial watering in the dry season, necessitate the expenditure of a great deal so thought, time, and means than is usually experienced in establishments of this kind. Whenever rtunities can be got for a few important alterations I hope to be able to undertake them. Amongst should be the re-arrangement of the Fountain Terrace and adjacent grounds. The trees on the race have quite outgrown themselves for the positions which they occupy; most of them should removed and a more suitable arrangement of planting substituted, but time and means prevent this carried out at present. If these means had been available I should have much wished to carry et the work at once.

3. The Typhoon of September worked a good deal of mischief in the Gardens both by the force the wind and the deluge of rain with which it was accoinpanied. Limbs and branches from the trees and shrubs were much broken. while smaller things were extensively up-rooted; amongst r a large number of roses and Poinsettias were destroyed. Many of the remaining Poinsettias del of their leaves and in consequence they have been unable to produce the large floral nets which they otherwise would have had. A large number of Poinsettias were planted

the year, and had it not been for the typhoon they would have made a brilliant display. quite as much damage is done to plants and shrubs, both to those growing in pots and the d. by the saturated state of the soil which results from the enormous fall of rain during the The plants which suffer the most from this cause are naturally those which come from countries dry climates, many of which plants in consequence of these excessive downpours it is impossible vite here.

7. New ground has been broken up, prepared and planted with New introductions as well as with older kinds which wore required for ornamental purposes especially to meet, when they are sufliciently grown, the increasing demand for cut flowers. For this service we shall have yet to make very considerable provision. It is to be regretted that no suitable piece of ground is available, without the expenditure of mach money on it, for the special purpose of growing a supply of flowers for cutting instead of having to make so great a drain on those in the Gardens. A piece of land which might be obtained, with the consent of the Government, just over the nullah to the cast of the Garden might be converted from its present exceedingly rough condition into a passable reserve garden, if it can be saved from being further deprived of the surface soil in the meantime. I would strongly urge the advisability of placing this ground at once in the charge of this department, so that it might be duly conserved for possibie future requirements.

8. The Herbaceous plant borders on each side of the Owl-house walk, in consequence of their having become unsuitable for the class of plants which they contained have been turfed down and lines of Camellias and Azaleas planted in the turf.

9. A plot of ground near the north-cast entrance was prepared and planted with representative species of Scitamineous and Amaryllidaceous plants which were removed chiefly from the borders in the New Garden that were turfed down.

10. Near the Caine Road entrance the bank which had been denuded of grass by the shade cast from large trees has been converted into a Rockery and planted with ferns and miscellaneous plants. Other objectionable parts in the same locality I purpose dealing with this year so that they may be brought more into harmony with the rest of the Gardens.

11. The New Nursery described in paragraph 4 of last year's report has proved of great advantage for the work for which it was intended. Because of lack of funds its arrangements, however, are not so complete as they should be, but I hope to secure these bit by bit.

12. The new Plant House has well met the requirements for the better cultivation of some plants grown in pots. A similar structure, but with some improvements on the old one, has just been completed. 51

It is 1 feet long by 22 feet wide. A new glass-house between the two is still wanted for the cultivation of plants susceptible to ill effects from cold in winter and from excessive rains in It would be most desirable that these structures should have a more ornamental appearance, but so far the funds which were available for building tliem only barely sufficed to provide what was absolutely necessary for cultivable purposes only. In due course I hope that the present structures will be replaced with ornamental and more durable ones, at least equal to those with which, most gardens of any standing are provided.

the wet season.

13. The system of Plant sales which I first officially suggested in 1882 and which were inaugurated four months ago have been more appreciated by the public than I anticipated they would be at the commencement. About 1,500 plants have been sold up to the end of the year. It will take some little time to learn what the public really require and more time to provide for those requirements, but I hope that we shall be able to meet them fully, and probably to develop new ones, as time goca Of course we have not been able to do more than propagate and grow on in small pots plants for sale. There would however be a considerable demand for specimen plants ready to at once furnish verandah parapets, but we have not yet facilities for carrying out the cultivation of such plants. If I can possibly sce my way to make this successful it shall have consideration.

on.

14. A slight increase has been made in the number of Birds and quadrupeds, but we cannot go much further without additional accommodation. The fine Siamese honey-bear which we had for many years was lost a few months ago. Mr. E. M. SATOW, C.M.G., H. B. M. Consul at Bangkok, however, most kin lly sent another one from Bangkok to replace it. The young one has grown rapidly and is now in fine condition. Two fine storks were also kindly given by Captain STEWART; they are thriving well. Miss. WALKDEN also generously presented a nice deer, a fine specimen of the argus pheasant was sent by Mr. W. H. FORBES, but this, I much regret to say, fell a victim to cold, apparently.

15. The devastation committed by Ants in gardens is so great, and effectual remedies are so little known that it will be useful, no doubt, to many people to make known the success of a plan which has been here adopted this year to protect seeds and plants in the open ground. The remedy is carbolic acid diluted in water. With one part of acid in 50 of water a line is watered all round seed beds or patches of ground when the seeds are sown, afterwards a daily application of half the strength is made until the seedlings are beyond the power of their enemies. This has been found a great success when ants were not already in the ground operated on, as they seem to have great objections to crossing the saturated line.

16. The plants of Star anise which Mr. H. KOPSCH, Commissioner of Customs at Pakhoi, kindly procured for us in 1882 from the district where it is cultivated by the Chinese have made very satisfac- tory progress, and I think it is probable that they will flower this year, when, if they do so, it will be possible to settle the question which has been long in doubt as to what the species of Illicium is which Star anise of commerce is obtained from.

17. Exchanges of plants and seeds have been conducted with the various establishments with which relations are in existence. The number of plants received was 800, and of bags, boxes and packets of seeds 201, of animals 10, and Wardian cases 9, from 42 contributors.

22. As an appendix, I attach a list of Additions to the Hongkong flora which have been discovered since Dr. HANCE's valuable supplement was published in 1871. The localities and dates, and names of individuals refer to the places where the plants were found, the time of the discoveries, and the names of the discoverers. In those cases where descriptions or notices of the plants have been published the Journals or Magazines which contain them are referred to. No list has been made public for 13 years, and a number of additions have not been recorded at all, although many entirely new species have been described and published, chiefly in the journal of Botany. This list will not only be inter- esting but it should be of much use to workers at the Hongkong flora. It will serve a good purpose until a descriptive list of additions is published, a work which is much needed. I have to thank Dr. H. F. HANCE, H. B. M., Acting Consul at Canton, for valuable information and assistance in the preparation of the list.

23. As new discoveries of plants are continually being made in Hongkong we may yet expect many interesting additions to the number already known when the Island is more completely searched.

24. The Re-arrangement of the herbarium has been completed and a good foundation now exists on which to build up what should become in the future the chief herbarium in China.

AFFORESTATION.

25. The work of the year has been chiefly devoted to the rearing and planting of the China pine as before. The Total number of trees planted is 330,019, and of sites sown 384,149. This kind of tree we must look to chiefly for the furnishing of the hills with forest vegetation, as it is the only one which experience would lead me to plant in large quantities in most of the localities where afforestation can be successfully carried on.

26. Other kinds have been experimented with, several new ones having been added to the list during the year, but most of the exotic trees must be provided with much more favourable conditions for tree growth than those which the China pine requires; these favourable conditions exist in small areas only, and they are often widely separated, which makes the management of them a great deal more difficult than if extensive areas could be obtained in localities convenient of access. The conditions most favourable are good soil, an adequate amount of moisture in the soil, and especially shelter from winds. All of these conditions usually decrease in proportion as we ascend the hills, therefore I have chiefly limited the areas selected for planting to the lower portions of the hills first where the expendi- ture of labour and money is likely to give quicker and more certain results than planting in the upper regions where the results are less satisfactory and slower of accomplishment. These higher portions of the hills it will be timme enough to take in hand when planting is complete in those places where better effects are produced. At the same time plantings on a limited scale, but sufficient for the purpose, have been made for experiment in localities where the conditions are as varied as possible, so that when the time arrives for advancing the work into exposed and higher regions a certain amount of experience will have been acquired for guidance in conducting the work, so that unnecessary waste of Government mor.ey may be saved in extensive works.

27. No operations on a large scale should be instituted until perfectly reliable practical data have been procured. It is so easy to build up a pleasing theory of apparently possible achievements that many people often fall into the temptation and only find their mistake when a touch of practice upsets all their calculations.

28. Tree planting begun in the second week of December 1883, and it was finished in the third week of June of the year under report. The season, in consequence of the rain having been more evenly distributed than usual, was extremely favourable for planting.

29. Upwards of 9,000 Gum trees, consisting of fourteen species of Eucalyptus were planted on the lands bordering the northern side of Kennedy Road. As stated in par. No. 65 of my report for 1383, species which are indigenous to Queensland were selected as being the most likely to succeed in this climate. They were planted during February and March when they were between six inches and a foot high. Great care was taken in the preparation of the ground for their reception. Scarcely any deaths occurred after planting, and the trees have made very satisfactory progress up to the present, the different species ranging from three to ten feet in height. The places where these trees are planted are fairly well sheltered and the soil is tolerably good. So good results are, however, not to be generally expected here from gum trees. Twenty thousand more gum trees have this year been raised. for next year's planting. Most of these will be planted, at the request of the Military Authorities, in the vicinity of the Military Sanitarium at 900 feet above sea level for the expected benefit of the inhabitants of the Sanitarium.

31. A good number of Camphor and Cork-Oak trees have also been reared in the nurserics for hating out during the coming season. The acorns from which the cork-oak trees were raised were ured from Spain. They were not in good condition when they arrived but about a quarter germi- ted and the seedlings made rapid, but rather weak, growth.

32. Many of the Cassia (Cinnamomum Cassia) trees, although they had been planted in the most heltered position that could be found for them, suffered greatly from the October typhoon, otherwise they have continued to make satisfactory progress.

33. Plantations of the Varnish tree (Aleurites vernicia) received a liberal supply of manure and the tres had the soil well dug about their roots. The effects of these operations are very marked, the trees having immediately greatly strengthened and developed. There are about 40,000 of these trees.

31. A plantation of the Chinese Tea-oil plant was also treated in a similar manner as the above. these plants there are about 2,000 so far doing well. It is rather early yet to judge of their ultimate

5. The political troubles in China have prevented our obtaining a supply this year of seeds of varnish tree in consequence of missionaries not being resident in the interior. Efforts which have mule to get seeds through Chinese agents have not yet been successful, but I hope yet to get It is always extremely difficult to procure seeds or plants from any distance through Chinese.

Upwards of 1,000 trees-all that it was practicable to transplant-were removed from the line the cutting for the new conduit was inade. In the Happy Valley woods 200 indigenous other trees and 300 pine trees were filled to provide for the progress of the conduit. At the t of the Surveyor General this work, which had been done at his request, was suspended in con- e of some alteration which he stated it would be necessary to make in the line of the conduit. ons of many of the trees which were felled have been retained for wood specimens. When the

of clearing off trees is continued there will be opportunity to secure a further stock of specimens.

Sacrificing trees which should not be cut merely for the sake of getting specimens.

7. The Forest Guards had twenty-one cases for prosecution before the Magistrates, out of which convictions were obtained. The sentences of the prisoners were from two to fourteen days

. The grass-cutters continue to do much mischief both directly and indirectly to the plantations. such steps as those I recommended a year ago are taken, I fear that mischief will continue The loss of natural aids to reproduction is always to be regretted as these can be obtained more effectively, extensively, and economically than artificial ones.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 25.

The following Annual Report from the Government Astronomer, for the year 1884, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th January, 1885.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG Observatory, 1st January, 1885.

SIR,--For the information of His Excellency the Governor I have the honour to forward my annual report for 1884.

2. The necessity for an Observatory in Hongkong was recognised years ago. In 1879 the Royal Society suggested its establishment, and in 1881 a report was drawn up by Colonel PALMER, R.E., but his suggestions were not carried out, as the scheme submitted by him was considered to be too extensive for a beginning.

3. In May 1882 the Surveyor General submitted a report with reference to the Astronomical and Meteorological Observatory to the Secretary of State for the Colonics. The Astronomer Royal, to whom a copy of this report was forwarded, was of opinion, that the smaller and simpler scheme therein suggested, would suffice for present requirements, and that the most pressing needs of the Colony were a time-ball and a meteorological service. The Surveyor General's report received then His Lordship's approval, and early in 1883 I was appointed Director of the Observatory.-Meantime the Kew Com- mittee, the Meteorological Council, the Meteorological Reporter to the Governinent of India and other authorities had opportunities of giving expression to their views on the subject.

4. I spent the following spring in inspecting the apparatus, that had been previously ordered or that I was instructed to order, and arranging details with the makers, as well as in studying the methods of observation adopted at the Royal Observatory, and the verification of meteorological and magnetic instruments at Kew.

5. The meteorological and magnetic instruments were ready before my departure from England. The Crown Agents for the Colonies arranged to have them carried without transhipment to Hongkong, and I started in June as passenger on the same steamer, accompanied by Mr. F. G. FIGG, who in the mean time had been appointed to be my first assistant. The horological apparatus and the time-ball were not ready till long after my arrival in the Colony.

6. On my arrival here, I found the foundations of the Observatory already laid. In fact some progress had been made with the brickwork. The Surveyor General had selected the site some years ago, and it proved to be by far the best spot in the Colony for making scientific observations. The neighbourhood of the City of Victoria would not be suitable, as the mountains shut off from view a great portion of the southern sky, extending up to 25° of altitude, and for the same reason it is not possible to determine the true velocity and direction of the wind near the city.. It is also likely, that the ferruginous rocks would deviate the plumb line, not to mention the magnetic needles.

7. I spent the following months partly in arranging details connected with the building and the foundations for the instruments, partly on a tour to the Treaty Ports of China, undertaken by order of His Excellency the Governor, to arrange to have meteorological observations made and regularly forwarded to the Observatory. The Inspector General of the Imperial Maritime Customs of China, who has contributed so much to forward the cause of science in that country, subsequently ordered a copy of all meteorological observations henceforth made in the harbours and lighthouses along the coast to be forwarded to me, and instruments of approved pattern are now being distributed among the stations.---It is certain, that not only the meteorology of China will benefit by Sir ROBERT HART'S enlightened action, but the meteorology of the northern hemisphere will be forwarded, when reliable observations are made on a uniform plan in that extensive country.

8. The Observatory is built on the peninsula of Kaulung facing the harbour. It stands on the top of Mount Elgin, a small hill built up of decomposed granite, rising abruptly on all sides from the surrounding level ground and culminating in two prominences distant about 400 feet from each other. The top of the eastern prominence is flat, and forms, roughly speaking, a circle of about 200 feet diameter. Here the main building is situated. The magnetic hut is erected on the western prominence, the top of which was levelled and forms a rectangle 36 feet by 30 feet.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 17TH JAN., 1885. 57

. By the 1st January the main building was so far finished, that I could take up my residence and start tri-diurnal meteorological observations. It is a rectangular block, 83 feet long and 45 (not including the transit room). The upper floor is devoted to my quarters. The ground prises 4 rooms, each 20 feet long, 16 feet wide and 14 feet high, and 2 small rooms behind In the entrance hall are placed the telegraphic apparatus, through which the Observatory is with the Police Stations in Kaulung, and through them with the Central Police Station in To the right is my office, where the library is placed, contained in glazed teak-wood elek room, behind which is the galvanic battery room, is to the right of this. From the a door leads into the transit room. To the left of the entrance hall is the computing room, ich is the instrument room, where the barometers, the barograph and the thermograph are d which is the photographic laboratory.-Every part of the two last rooms, including ::or and furniture, is painted dark red, and there are only a few panes of double red glass in

Ane-storied block of outbuildings, containing servants' quarters, store-rooms, &c., commu-

back-verandah by a covered passage.

Thonetic hut is 17 feet long, 13 feet broad, and the roof rises 11 feet high. It is made I white outside and inside. Bamboo chips instead of nails were used in its construction frniture. It has double doors, respectively louvered and glazed, to the north and w windows on cach side as well as two frosted glass windows in the roof, which throw verders. On top of massive teak-wood blocks sunk 33 feet in the ground and rising 4 the floor are placed the unifilar magnetometer and the dip-circle. The former is placed the latter, and it is therefore convenient to observe the pole-star reflected from the speculum ing the door. The sun and stars near the prime vertical can be observed through the windows er side. The hut is very comfortable but is placed at an inconvenient distance from the main

A broad road connects the two buildings and includes a bridge across the gap between the The magnetic observations are printed in my report of the 15th December (Appendix I to the ming Observations and Researches in 1884") and it is therefore unnecessary to make further ce to these observations.

12. As the time-service has not yet been started and as no astronomical observations have been sh, it would appear most proper to defer the description of the astronomical instruments, some hich have not yet been erected.

1. The tri-diurnal meteorological observations, that were started at 10 a. on the 1st January, tinued up to the end of the year. In January and February observations were made at 10 a. 10 p. as printed in the Weather Reports for those months. In March and April they were 10a. 1 p. 4 p. 7.45 p. and 10 p. From the 1st May till the end of the year they were made 1p. 4p. and 10 p. From the 1st April till the 1st October the standard barometer was bowl also at 1 a. Phenomena occurring at other hours including clouds of the cirrus type

arefully noted.

The observations made at 7" 45" p. (7' 0" a. Washington Mean Time) the epoch adopted International Simultaneous Meteorological Observations were transmitted to the Chief Signal U.S.A.. Washington, D. C. They embrace the height of the barometer reduced to 32° ad to sea level, dry and damp bulb thermometers, relative humidity, direction and velo- wind, and also observations on rain, clouds and state of the weather. Since the 1st May hatter observations were actually made at the time, it being preferred to read off the other from the curves described by the self recording instruments below described.

15. From the 1st January a new series of meteorological observations made according to my motions for making Meteorological Observations" were commenced at diferent points in the At Victoria Peak observations of the barometer, dry and damp bulb thermometers, direction the wind, clouds. sea and state of the weather are made at 7 a. 10 a. 1 p. 4p. 7 p. and 10 p. for 10 a. 4p. and 10 p. are published in the monthly reports. At the latter hour the self- thermometers including black bulb and grass minimum are read. The rainfall is collected

One of them is an old roof-gauge. The other is placed one foot above the ground. Its from the latter are published.

observations being made at so high a level are of considerable importance, and it is to that the authorities have not yet made arrangements for having observations made also at

e of self-recording instruments the observations are not complete without the 4a. It would moreover be desirable at some future time to erect a self-recording anemometer similar to the one on top of the Observatory. The comparison of the two records ly reveal certain most important features connected with the wind prevalent at different ve sea level, which would deepen our insight into the law of storms in the China Sea.

'ape d'Aguilar observations of thermometers, wind, clouds, sea-surface and weather are . 10. p. and 10 p. as published in the monthly reports, but as these observations are accuracy, their publication with the exception of the state of the sea-surface, will be dis-

I next year.

•

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 17TH JAN, 1885.

18. At Green Island the wind, clouds, sea-surface and weather are observed at 4 a. 10 a. 4 p. and 10 p. As the island is within 4 miles of the Observatory the station is not supplied with instruments, but the observer appears to be doing his best. At Stone Cutters' Island, which is within 2 miles of the Observatory but at a much lower level, the rain is acasured at 10 a. as published.

19. All the observations made at these four stations are revised, corrected and reduced at the Observatory, and the instruments &c. are occasionally inspected.

20. The barograph was erected in March and worked without interruption since the 1st April. The slab is placed on a teak-wood table, which is firmly screwed to the floor.

21. The image of the flame of a Kerosine lamp, enlarged by a condenser, is thrown upon the void space, narrowed by a slit, above the mercury of a barometer of about three quarter inches internal diameter. By means of a photographic lens an image of this illuminated slit is thrown upon a cylinder covered with a sheet of sensitised paper, 23 inches long and 5 inches wide, which is revolved by a clock work, so that the portion covered by the image moves 0.364 inch an hour, the clock work moves also a shutter, that cuts off the light of the lamp from two minutes before, till two minutes after every even hour. The upper edge of the inverted image of the slit rises or falls as the mercury falls or rises in the barometer, but the lower edge is not permanently fixed, but rises or falls as the temperature of two zine rods, fixed beside the barometer, falls or rises, and by aid of an adjustable glass lever the amount of displacement of the edge is made exactly equal to the temperature correction, that otherwise would have to be applied to the hourly readings.

22. The paper may be kept on the cylinder for two days, after which it has to be changed, this being invariably effected between 10 a. and 11 a.,-developed, fixed, washed and dried. The photograph is ready to be measured three days after being removed from the cylinder. It is then placed between two glass plates in the tabulator, and the distances between the upper and lower edges of the blackened portion of the paper, which is interrupted by the two-hourly white lines, are read off at every hour or oftener, if required, by aid of a vernier capable of being read to 0.001 inch, two fine wires fixed in empty sight-tubes being made to cover the respective edges.

23. The standards of reference are obtained from 10 a. 1 p. 4 p. and 10 p. readings of the standard barometer, corrected and reduced to 32° Fahrenheit. From the 1st April till the 1st September the 1 a. readings were also made use of, but experience proved this to be superfluous. The nominal inches on the tabulator should be greater than true inches in the same proportion as the magnified image of the slit is greater than the true image, which is about 15. Experience shows, that this has not been strictly attained. The nominal inches are 1.594, whereas they should be 1.534 inches long. But as the pressure here nearly always changes very slowly and regularly within 24 hours, it is not necessary to know this proportion with great accuracy, and it is for the same reason difficult to determine it. The above number was derived from obscrvations made during the Typhoon in September and agrees with other observations.

24. The room in which the barograph and the standard barometer are placed is carefully shut up, so that the daily range of temperature is reduced below half a degree. Three large Kerosine lamps, always burning in the room, raise its temperature in winter a couple of degrees above the temperature of the air outside, while in summer the room is colder than the air. The temperature is observed by reading a carefully verified thermometer immersed in mercury in a test-glass of the same diameter as the barograph barometer. The constancy of the temperature favours the accurate co-operation of the different parts of the apparatus, which are at a uniform temperature, just as a clock goes better in a room, where the temperature does not change much, because the different parts of the pendulum have the same temperature.

25. The barogram readings are entered in a journal kept in the computing room.

The figures are corrected for the scale-error of the tabulator, and when reduced to standard by comparison with the. readings of the standard barometer (corrected and reduced to 32° Fahrenheit), they are entered in the tables printed in the monthly reports.

26. The thermograph was erected in March and worked without interruption since the 1st April. The slab is placed on massive teak-wood blocks, firmly screwed to a slab of granite, which rests on solid masonry.

The bulbs of the recording thermometers (dry and damp bulb) are placed in a zinc screen outside the northern window of the instrument room, which is substantially boarded, and in which are"also placed two thermometers with bulbs,-dry and damp,-of similar dimensions. These have been care- fully verified at different temperatures by comparison with our standard thermometers. The tubes of the recording thermometers are bent and enter the instrument room through two slots (5.6 inches long, 1.2 inches broad and 9.2 inches asunder) bored in the boards. They then rise vertically and are held by pieces of brass, which may be raised or lowered to some extent. The slots are filled with non- conductive, material, so that no air can pass out from the room. An airspeck is introduced into the mercury of each thermometer. These airspecks are photographed on the cylinder. A lamp is placed on each side of the thermograph, whose lights are condensed by lenses and reflected towards the cylinder from mirrors, placed on the slab behind the thermometer tubes. The light penetrating through

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 17TH JAN., 1885. 59

abs is narrowed by slits, and the same arrangement is made to obtain the photographic record ot the barograph, but the photograph exhibits in this case two curves, which represent the dry and damp bulb thermometers interrupted by the two-hour lines. The record of the dacol vertically under that of the dry, so that there is only one time-scale. One or two f which to measure are obtained by allowing the light of either lamp to shine through

in either of the frames, in which the slits are cut.

photographic sheets obtained from the thermograph are treated exactly as those obtained ph. When they are dry the distances of the points on the curves from the zero line ad of glass scales graduated to degrees. The temperature in either case corresponding He is obtained daily by comparison with the simultaneous readings of the thermometers which are corrected before being entered in the thermograph journal. The degrees on scales should be larger than the degrees on the thermometers in the proportion, in which magnified by the photographic lens. This has been attained in case of the damp bulb, on the dry bulb scale must be multiplied by 0.980 in order to represent the readings A correction is applied for this before the readings are entered on the tables thly reports.

to prevent by any possibility a mistake in the date of the photographic sheets, the al date are written on the back of every sheet, as it is removed from the cylinder.- intment the Crown Agents for the Colonics had ordered the barograph and the thermo- the ameograph through the Meteorological Office. The tabulator, reading scales ently ordered at my suggestion as well as the pluviograph. Unfortunately a large paper had also been supplied by the Secretary to the Meteorological Office, who was not to-bromide paper had for years been successfully adopted in India. Now the necessity sensitising every photographic sheet has caused a deal of trouble during the damp and The sensitised sheets were found not to keep for two days on the barrel. The sheets be changed every day. Even the iodised sheets did not keep for any length of time. lised sheets could be sensitised with any certainty of success, and this added enormously a great part of the time of the second assistant being taken up by this work. Even when caution was taken, the result was not nearly as good as during the winter. Tannin, as led by Chambers, was tried, but made no improvement here. A supply of MORGAN & rgetto-bromide paper has now been ordered, and thus the trouble of iodising and sensitising will be saved.-Another cause of occasional failure rests with the Kerosine lamps, but the rling so much more sensitive, the lamps are not likely to give any trouble, when the new introduced. It may also be found possible to secure Kerosine oil of superior quality. No alty was encountered in keeping the damp bulbs constantly wetted, but occasionally the were found to be dry.

The clocks of the barograph and the thermograph were rated by shortening the pendulums, found inconvenient to shorten them sufficiently. The outstanding error was corrected by

pieces of iron and a few small leaden weights on the flat upper surfaces of the bobs, subsequently kept constant by adding or removing one or more of the small weights. ment proved so satisfactory, that the clocks when accurately started one morning were in test number of cases found as accurate next morning, and the error seldom exceeded and never 45 seconds.

mograph was erected in the course of January and worked without interruption since It is erected on a turret, built of strong teak-wood timber, fastened to the roof of the ssive iron bolts. The turret rises 8 feet above the flat roof of the main building. This instrument registers the number of miles traversed by the wind and also its direction. of a "ROBINSON's anemometer of large size, the cups of which are 45 feet above the ground alove mean sea level. The shaft carrying the cups is supported by friction balls running top of the direction shaft and terminates in an endless screw, which working through gives a cylinder in the turret, round which a thin strip of brass forming a screw is nd another larger cylinder, which is driven by a clockwork, is wrapped the metallic the spaco traversed by the wind is recorded by the screw-shaped pencil, which rests at of the weight of the cylinder round which it is wrapped. The pencil has only one vinder and its pitch is 23 inches long, equal to a scale of 50 miles printed on the paper. ital factor-3 is adopted in our anemometric records. Whenever from further investiga- al reliable factor, dependent on the velocity of the wind shall have been determined for exactly similar construction, it will be easy to alter the figures in cur tables, but the ment is so perfect that no allowance need be made for friction.-In order to obtain. stinct trace of the direction of the wind, the vane consists of two wind mill wheels, their axis at right angles to the wind. With any change they move and carry with them tube, which contains, but is not connected with, the velocity shaft and acting through moves another thin screw-shaped pencil, which registers the direction on another part de paper. The pitch is equal to that of the velocity pencil and equal to a scale of the cardinal

pass printed on the paper. The clock moves the cylinder on which the paper d ineli per hour.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 17 JAN., 1885.

32. The paper must be changed every morning about 10 a.

The direction and velocity are then read off by aid of divided glass scales and immediately entered in the table printed in the monthly reports. The working of the instrument has been satisfactory. It is made extra strong and worked as well in the typhoon as in a gentle breeze.

い

33. The pluriograph was erected in the course of January and worked without interruption since the 1st March. It is made of cast iron and stands on masonry in the ground about 75 feet_S.W. the nearest part of the main building. The rain collected by the funnel passes through a tube into a copper cup floating in mercury protected from oxidation by glycerine. As the cup is filled it sinks in the inercury and registers the amount of descent by aid of a fine lead pencil on a ruled card fastened on a cylinder revolved by clockwork. When 0.2 inch have been collected, the cup is emptied sponta- neously by a siphon arrangement, 0.1 inch of rain is represented by a length of 0.344 inch on the card. which was found correct. The hour lines are printed 0.365 inch apart, but it was not found practicable to lengthen the pendulum sufficiently for this and new hour times 0.372 inch apart have to be drawn on the cards. Care was taken by the maker to arrange, that the siphon should empty the cup as quickly as possible, and it was only during unusually heavy squalls, when the rain poured down in torrents, that it failed somewhat in its action, the amount entering the cup while it was emptying itself being lost. It was feared that the heavy rain might mechanically push down the cup, but this has scarcely been noticed in practice. For further security an ordinary rain-gauge, the rain collected in which is measured at 10a., is kept beside the pluviograph, and it has occasionally been found advisable to correct the pluviograms by the readings of that gauge.

34. Early in the suminer the place had not yet been turfed and the dust of decomposed granite raised by the wind was most destructive to the acting parts of the instruments and particularly so to the action of the rain-gauge.. When the Governor last summer honoured the Observatory with his presence, His Excellency remarked this disadvantage, and the place was soon after turfed, since which time the rain-gauge has acted smoothly.

35. The pluviograms are read off by aid of a simple scale and immediately entered in the tables printed in the monthly reports.

36. The sunshine-recorder is placed in a groove in the coping stone on the parapet 34 feet above the ground. In construction and adjustment it is similar to an ordinary sun-dial, but the style throwing the shadow is replaced by a solid glass ball, which acts as a burning glass, and the hour circle consists of a blue card, on which the hours are printed, and which is changed every evening. Whenever the sun shines brightly, it burns a hole in the paper, and by comparing the burned trace with the half-hour lines it is easy to estimate, how many minutes the sun was shining every hour. The figures are immediately entered in the table printed in the monthly reports. Care is taken to keep the glass ball clean.

•

37. The barograph, the thermograph and the anemograph were made by Mr. MUNRO of King's Cross, London, and are as excellent specimens of workmanship as might be expected from this well- known maker. The principal part of Mr. FIGG's time has been occupied in attending to the selfrecord- ing instruments and tabulating the records, a task in which he has exhibited much patience and perseverance as well as that conscientious care, for which he was recommended to me by Mr. WHIPPLE, Superintendent of the Kew Observatory, and to which the great accuracy of our results is to a great

extent due.

38. As stated in the "Instructions for making meteorological observations &c." meteorological instruments forwarded by observers, who regularly send their registers to the Observatory, are verified here free of cost. During the past year the following number of instruments has been verified and certificates issued:

Barometers: 13

Thermometers: 126

Anemometers: 1

39. The monthly weather reports up to July inclusive have been published. The tables are ready for the August and September reports. The typhoons in August are being investigated. The principal tables for the October and Noveinber reports are ready and some progress has been made in tabulating the records for December. I expect to be able to publish these reports in the course of next spring.

40. Some progress has also been made with the annual weather report for 1884 and with the five-day means of the principal meteorological elements. The volume of "Observations and Researches made in 1884" will be published as soon as these reports are ready.

41. The China Coast Meteorological Register was issued daily from here. Through the courtesy of the Great Northern and of the Eastern Extension Australasia and China Telegraph Companies I received daily telegrams from Wladiwostock, Nagasaki, Shanghai and Amoy, and from Manila respect- ively. Subsequently the Superintendent of the latter Company was kind enough to supply telegrams

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 17TH JAN., 1885. 61

Forhow and Haiphong in addition, but an even more important addition was made, when he n arranged to have meteorological observations started at the telegraph station in Bolinao The telegraphic reports embrace generally readings of the barometer and the attached ter, dry and damp bulb thermometers, direction and force of the wind, state of the weather

unt of rain.

2. The Great Northern Telegraph Company receives the telegrams for 10 a. and 4 p. (previous the forenoon. The E. E. A. & C. Telegraph Company receives the 10 a. and 4 p. observa- rately. The Superintendent of the Station in Bolinao in the course of October commenced observations also at other hours, whenever he apprehended atmospheric disturbance in the rhood of Luzon. He then also observed the direction, whence the clouds were coming. The e of similar telegraphic information from a gentleman of scientific training during the coming season cannot be overestimated.

D. As soon as possible after 10 a. and 4 p. observations made here similar to those received are to the two Companies.-The telegrams are exchanged between the Telegraph Offices in the Observatory by means of either of our two chair-coolics. Of course it would be better the information through telegraph. There is a cable across the harbour through which Stations are connected, but it has not been used for transmission of such messages. If it le to place the Observatory in direct communication with the Telegraph Companies Offices, mation would be supplied much sooner than is possible under existing circumstances.

t. As soon as the telegrams are received they are revised, corrected and reduced and the most nt features and changes of the weather are pointed out, as well as the wind over the open sea Shanghai, Hongkong and Luzon indicated by the gradients, the constants being statistically ned. Early information about typhoons is also issued, the existence of which is generally from observations here taken in connection with the general distribution of pressure &c., it is indicated by observations contained in the telegraphic reports from any individual station, may be situated nearer to the respective disturbance.

45. Every day the general whereabout of the centre and its progress since previous day are ed, and when, as frequently occurs during the progress of typhoons, the telegrains are not d, the information is based exclusively upon observations made here. In this part of my work I derived great help from Ferrel's theoretical papers and particularly from Meldrum's illustrious

researches.

16. The Clerk of the Department has charge of the calculations connected with the register and as copies of same are ready-generally about 1 h. 30 p.-they are forwarded by one of the clair-coolies to the following addresses :--

H. E. the Admiral of the Fleet.

The Harbour Office.

The Great Northern Telegraph Company.

The Hongkong Telegraph.

The China Mail.

The Daily Press.

7. Occasionally complaints have been received, that the register was not received at a sufficiently

iar.

4. A meteorological register containing the 4 p. observations made here, is sent in the evening

Day Press, which is a morning paper.

Whenever, as does not often occur, bad weather prevents the launch from running between and Kaulung, or when information concerning typhoons, which should be published imme- is at hand, a telegram is sent through the Police Stations to the Central Police Station in

g. from which it is telegraphed to:

Government House,

The Government Offices,

The Great Northern Telegraph Company.

The E. E. A. & C. Telegraph Company.

The Chamber of Commerce.

The Naval Yard.

The Commissariat.

The Surveyor General (when the Government Offices are closed).

50. It was in the course of the year arranged, that I am not to control the distribution of these telegrams, for which my responsibility ceases, as soon as they have been properly forwarded from the Observatory.

51. In fact now that meteorological signals can be exhibited from this side of the harbour, the distribution among so many addresses is perhaps unnecessary, and with reference to the Telegraph Companies I have formed the opinion, that telegrams concerning typhoons should be forwarded only to those Treaty Ports, to the ships in which their contents would be of importance in cach individual

case.

52. In the latter part of August a mast for hoisting police and storm-signals erected at Tsim- sha-tsui was furnished with the system of signals explained in my notice of the 11th August (Appendix F), and a gun was placed at the foot of the mast for giving warnings to the Colony.

53. The signals, although they were rather light,-being made of perforated canvas framed in leaden pipes,--blew down and were damaged, because the cord, that supported them, was far too weak. At the time the water-police had not yet taken possession of the new barracks and there were only a couple of English constables living in the old station, but it would be impossible to refer in too high terms to the conduct of the police, who are charged with hoisting the signals, both under those difficult circumstances and also afterwards.

54. A new set of signals made of rattan have since been made at the suggestion of the Surveyor General, but they are only 4, while the original signals were 6 feet in diameter. Whether they will be sufficient, remains to be seen. At any rate it is to be hoped, that arrangements will be made to have them hoisted to the top of the mast, which was reserved for these signals.

55. The notice referred to was extensively circulated and it was clearly stated, that the signals are hoisted solely with the object of informing masters of vessels leaving the port concerning the where- about of the centre of typhoons, and that local storm-signals would be given by firing the gun,-so that it is surprising, that a portion of the public should be under the impression, that the signals indi- cate strong wind in the Colony, but no doubt more correct notions will get abroad next season.

56. Through these signals supplemented by the information given in the daily registers, masters of vessels are enabled to form an opinion of the winds and weather,-fine in some places foul in others, ---likely to be encountered on the voyage, and to select the best time for starting all according to their destination. But after all I have learned, that cases still occur, where a captain, who is less familiar with typhoons, delays his ship in port, although the information issued to a practical meteorologist implies, that he is likely to encounter fine weather on a voyage to the port, for which he is about to start,-while another ship starting at the same time for some other port may run great risk.

57. To a port frequented by so vast a shipping as Hongkong it would be an advantage to have trustworthy information concerning bad weather likely to be encountered by each individual ship leaving the port placed within reach of every captain about to leave the port, and this can only be effected by allowing them to telegraph to ine for information, adding the name and destination of the ship in question. Similar enquiries may in England, on payment of one shilling for the message be addressed to the meteorological office, but the answer contains only a guess at the weather expected next day, while in the China Sea it would be possible to give information concerning the weather likely to prevail on the voyage.

58. But in order to effect this it would be necessary to appoint a telegraph clerk in the Observatory. Occasionally during the past season masters of vessels have sent one of their mates over to make enquiries, and I have done my best to give them the required information, but at serious inconvenience owing to the smallness of the staff attached to this Department.

59. I devoted part of my time in the autumn of 1883 in studying past records of the weather kept by officers of the Harbour Department and Mr. FIGG assisted me in taking monthly means of observations. The results were published in the Gazette (Appendices A-C to "Observations and Researches in 1884"). He also took monthly means of the height of the barometer registered for over twenty years in the Harbour Office, but as some difficulty was encountered in ascertaining the corrections, which the barometers required, the results have not yet been published and will not be of much importance when published.

60. Beside the reports to appear in the "Observations and Researches in 1884," which will include a complete barometric determination of the height of Victoria Peak, I have published the following papers:

a. "On the Rainfall and Temperature of Markree, Sligo." (In "Quarterly Journal of the

Royal Meteorological Society" April, 1884).

b. Markree Observatory." (In

(In "The Observatory. A monthly review of astronomy."

October and November, 1884).

that I am not able to add a catalogue of the scientific instruments and books to this I also regret having been at times behind-hand in acknowledging the receipt of publi- other scientific centres and from individuals and having been forced by want of time to ntific correspondence in general, but although during the first portion of the new year instruments will have to be started, I expect to be able to attend more regularly to my ds respect.

Officers of the Royal Navy and Officers of the French squadron in China as well as numerous erchant vessels have forwarded to me meteorological observations made during typhoons, I have been enabled to investigate those atmospheric disturbances, from which investi- its useful to the navigation of the China Sea will follow.

The following Table of Lunar Transits across the Meridian of Hongkong, furnished by the Government Astronomer, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 31st January, 1885.

W. H. MARSH.

Colonial Secretary..

LUNAR TRANSITS ACROSS THE MERIDIAN OF HONGKONG.

The following transits of the moon were observed by eye and ear with TROUGHTON & SIMMS'S three inch transit instrument and the sidereal standard clock. The clock-correction was determined by aid of the Nautical Almanac apparent places of stars, and the right ascensions of the moon here exhibited are therefore subject to the corrections, which are applied to that catalogue. The first column shews the day of the month in Hongkong, the second the mean time, the third the limb of the moon, that was observed, the fourth the position of the instrument,-clamp east or west,-the fifth the mean of the seven wires, the sixth the reduction to the meridian, the seventh the clock-correction, the eighth the resulting right ascension, the ninth the seconds of right ascension in Nautical Almanac (to which Newcomb's corrections are now applied), the tenth the apparent error of Nautical Almanac in right ascension. From data exhibited in this column it appears that the semi-diameter in Hansen's lunar tables must be diminished by 0. 127=1′′.905 in order to represent these observations. This correction was applied to the Nautical Almanac and the eleventh column exhibits then the error of the Nautical Almanac, the mean of which was + 0.091 + 1.365. The longitude of the Observatory is

7h. 36. 41.86 East.

ASSENT TO ORDINANCES.-The Acting Clerk of Councils announced His Excellency the Governor's assent to the following Ordinances :-

Ordinance No. 1 of 1885.-An Ordinance to apply a sura not exceeding Nine hundred and Forty-nine thousand, and Sixty-one Dollars to the Public Service of the Year 1885.

QUESTION.-The Honourable T.

To this I have received the follow- ing reply:

Referring to your telegram of the 2nd January, new guns are being provided at the cost of more than eighty thousand pounds sterling (£80,000).' It will be remembered that this is more than double the cost (viz. £37,500) of the guns originally proposed for the new Forts at Hongkong.

ques-

"With regard to the terms of the Honourable Gentleman's tion, I am unable to say, if 'the Funds of the Colony are at present being spent upon the construction of a Fort in the Litmun Pass.' I have ascertained that the military works here are being carried out under the immediate direction of the War Office in England, and that it is not known as yet whether the cost of the battery at the Liümun Pass, which will not exceed one thousand pounds sterling, (£1,000), will be set down to Imperial Funds, or to the Colonial con- tribution. Of course, if it is so desired, I will forward the question of

my Honourable Friend to the Secretary of State.

"With respect to the other points of the Honourable Gentleman's question, I am informed that heavy ordnance will probably be mount- ed at the Limun Pass so soon as it can be procured; but that the primary object of the new work there is to protect the Submarine minefield against the attack of armed boats and steam-launches; and that for this purpose lighter and rapidly firing guns are indispensable; such as breech-loading 40-pounder guns, which the Military author- ities declare are not obsolete, or ineffective."

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperiai Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialcet, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

PART II.

BILLS OF EXCHANGE.

Form and Interpretation.

3. (1.) A bill of exchange is an unconditional order in writing, addressed by one person to another, signed by the person giving it, requiring the person to whom it is addressed to pay on demand or at a fixed or determinable future time a sum certain in money to or to the order of a specified person, or to bearer.

(2.) An instrument which does not comply with these conditions, or which orders any act to be done in addition to the payment of money, is not a bill of exchange.

(3.) An order to pay out of a particular fund is not unconditional within the meaning of this section;

but an unqualified order to pay, coupled with (a) an indication of a particular fund out of which the drawee is to re-imburse himself or a particular account to be debited with the amount, or (b) a statement of the transaction which gives rise to the bill, is. unconditional.

(4.) A bill is not invalid by reason-—

(a.) That it is not dated;

(b.) That it does not specify the value given, or that any value has been given therefor;

(c.) That it does not specify the place where it is

drawn or the place where it is payable.

4. (1.) An inland bill is a bill which is or on the face of it purports to be (a) both drawn and payable within this Colony, or (b) drawn within this Colony, upon some person resident therein. Any other bill is a foreign bill.

(2.) Unless the contrary appear on the face of the bill the holder may treat it as an inland bill.

138

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH FEBRUARY, 1885.

5. (1.) A bill may be drawn payable to, or to the order of, the drawer; or it may be drawn payable to, or to the order of, the drawee.

(2.) Where in a bill drawer and drawee are the same person, or where the drawce is a fictitious person or a person not having capacity to contract, the holder may treat the instrument, at his option, either as a bill of exchange or as a promissory note.

6. (1.) The drawee must be named or otherwise indi- cated in a bill with reasonable certainty.

(2.) A bill may be addressed to two or more drawees whether they are partners or not, but an order addressed to two drawees in the alternative or to two or more draweos in succession is not a bill of exchange.

7. (1.) Where a bill is not payable to bearer, the payee must be named or otherwise indicated therein with reason- able certainty.

(2.) A bill may be made payable to two or more payees jointly, or it may be made payable in the alternative to one of two, or one or some of several payees. A bill may also be made payable to the holder of an office for the time being. (3.) Where the payee is a fictitious or non-existing person the bill may be treated as payable to bearer.

8. (1.) When a bill contains words prohibiting transfer, or indicating an intention that it should not be transferable, it is valid as between the parties thereto, but is not nego- tiable.

(2.) A negotiable bill may be payable either to order

or to bearer.

(3.) A bill is payable to bearer which is expressed to be so payable, or on which the only or last indorsement is an indorsement in blank.

(4.) A bill is payable to order which is expressed to be so payable, or which is expressed to be payable to a parti- cular person, and does not contain words prohibiting transfer or indicating an intention that it should not be transferable. (5.) Where a bill, either originally or by indorsement, is expressed to be payable to the order of a specified person, and not to him or his order, it is nevertheless payable to him or his order at his option.

sum certain

9. (1.) The sum payable by a bill is a within the meaning of this Ordinance, although it is required to be paid

(a.) With interest.

(b.) By stated instalments.

(e.) By stated instalments, with a provision that upon default in payment of any instalment the

whole shall become due.

(d.) According to an indicated rate of exchange or according to a rate of exchange to be ascer- tained as directed by the bill.

(2.) Where the sun payable is expressed in words and also in figures, and there is a discrepancy between the two, the sum denoted by the words is the amount payable.

(3.) Where a bill is expressed to be payable with interest, unless the instrument otherwise provides, interest runs from the date of the bill, and if the bill is undated from the issue thereof,

10. (1.) A bill is payable on demand-

(a.) Which is expressed to be payable on demand, or

at sight, or on presentation; or

(b.) In which no time for payment is expressed. (2.) Where a bill is accepted or indorsed when it is overdue, it shall, as regards the acceptor who so accepts, or any indorser who so indorses it, be deemed a bill payable on demand.

11. A bill is payable at a determinable future time within the meaning of this Ordinance which is expressed to be payable-

(1.) At a fixed period after date or sight.

(2.) On or at a fixed period after the occurrence of a specified event which is certain to happen, though the time of happening may be uncer-

tain.

An instrument expressed to be payable on a contingency

is not a bill, and the happening of the event does not cure the defect.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH FEBRUARY, 1885.

12. Where a bill expressed to be payable at a fixed period after date is issued undated, or where the acceptance of a bill payable at a fixed period after sight is undated, any holder may insert therein the true date of issue or acceptance, and the bill shall be payable accordingly,

Provided that (1) where the holder in good faith and by mistake inserts a wrong date, and (2) in every case where a wrong date is inserted, if the bill subsequently comes into the hands of a holder in due course the bill shall not be avoided thereby, but shall operate and be payable as if the date so inserted had been the true date.

13. (1.) Where a bill or an acceptance or any indorse- ment on a bill is dated, the date shall, unless the contrary be proved, be deemed to be the true date of the drawing, acceptance, or indorsement, as the case may be.

(2.) A bill is not invalid by reason only that it is ante- dated or post-dated, or that it bears date on a Sunday.

14. Where a bill is not payable on demand the day on which it falls due is determined as follows:

(1.) Three days, called days of grace, arc, in every case where the bill itself does not otherwise provide, added to the time of payment as fixed by the bill, and the bill is due and payable on the last day of grace: Provided that-

(a.) When the last day of grace falls on Sunday, Christmas Day, Good Friday, or a day ap- pointed by proclamation in the Gazette as a public fast or thanksgiving day, the bill is, ex- cept in the case herein-after provided for, due and payable on the preceding business day; (b.) When the last day of grace is a bank holiday (other than Christmas Day or Good Friday) or when the last day of grace is a Sunday and the second day of grace is a Bank Holiday, the bill is due and payable on the succeeding business day.

(2.) Where a bill is payable at å fixed period after date, after sight, or after the happening of a specified event, the time of payment is determined by excluding the day from which the time is to begin to run and by including the day of payment.

(3.) Where a bill is payable at a fixed period after sight, the time begins to run from the date of the acceptance if the bill be accepted, and from the date of noting or protest if the bill be noted or protested for non-acceptance, or for non-delivery.

. (4.) The term "month in a bill means calendar month. 15. The drawer of a bill and any indorser may insert therein the name of a person to whom the holder may resort in case of need, that is to say, in case the bill is dishonoured by non-acceptance or non-payment. Such person is called the referee in case of need. It is in the option of the holder to resort to the referee in case of need or not as he may think fit.

16. The drawer of a bill, and any indorser, may insert therein an express stipulation-

(1.) Negativing or limiting his own liability to the holder: (2.) Waiving as regards himself some or all of the holder's duties.

17. (1.) The acceptance of a bill is the signification by the drawee of his assent to the order of the drawer.

(2.) An acceptance is invalid unless it complies with the following conditions, namely:

(a.) It must be written on the bill and be signed by the drawee. The mere signature of the drawee without additional words is sufficient. (b.) It must not express that the drawee will perform his promise by any other means than the payment of money.

18. A bill may be accepted.

(1.) Before it has been signed by the drawer, or while otherwise incomplete:

(2.) When it is overdue, or after it has been dishonoured by a previous refusal to accept, or by non-payment:

(3.) When a bill payable after sight is dishonoured by non-acceptance, and the drawee subsequently accepts it, the holder, in the absence of any different agreement, is entitled to have the bill accepted as of the date of first presentment to the drawee for acceptance.

139

140

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH FEBRUARY, 1885.

19. (1.) An acceptance is either (a) general or (b) qualified.

(2.) A general acceptance assents without qualification to the order of the drawer. A qualified acceptance in express terms varies the effect of the bill as drawn.

In particular an acceptance is qualified which is-

(a.) Conditional, that is to say, which makes payment by the acceptor dependent on the fulfilment. of a condition therein stated:

(b.) Partial, that is to say, an acceptance to pay part only of the amount for which the bill is drawn: (c.) Local, that is to say, an acceptance to pay only at

a particular specified place:

An acceptance to pay at a particular place is à general acceptance, unless it expressly states that the bill is to be paid there only and not elsewhere:

(d.) Qualified as to time:

(e.) The acceptance of some one or more of the drawees,

but not of all.

20. (1.) Where a simple signature on a blank stamped paper is delivered by the signer in order that it may be converted into a bill, it operates as a primâ facie authority to fill it up as a complete bill for any amount the stamp will cover, using the signature for that of the drawer, or the acceptor, or an indorser; and, in like manner, when a bill is wanting in any material particular, the person in possession of it has a primâ facie authority to fill up the omission in any way he thinks fit.

(2.) In order that any such instrument when completed inay be enforceable against any person who became a party thereto prior to its completion, it must be filled up within a reasonable time, and strictly in accordance with the authority given. Reasonable time for this purpose is a question of fact.

Provided that if any such instrument after completion is negotiated to a holder in due course it shall be valid and effectual for all purposes in his hands, and he may enforce it as if it had been filled up within a reasonable time and strictly in accordance with the authority given.

21. (1.) Every contract on a bill, whether it be the drawer's, the acceptor's, or an indorser's, is incomplete and revocable, until delivery of the instrument in order to give effect thereto.

Provided that where an acceptance is written on a' bill, and the drawce gives notice to or according to the directions of the person entitled to the bill that he has accepted it, the acceptance then becomes complete and irrevocable.

(2.) As between immediate parties, and as regards a remote party other than a holder in due course, the deli-

very→→→

But if the bill be in the hands of a holder in due course a valid delivery of the bill by all parties prior to him so as to make them liable to him is conclusively presumed.

(3.) Where a bill is no longer in the possession of a party who has signed it as drawer, acceptor, or indorser, a valid and unconditional delivery by him is presumed until the contrary is proved.

Capacity and Authority of Partics.

22. (1.) Capacity to incur liability as a party to a bill is co-extensive with capacity to contract.

Provided that nothing in this section shall enable a corpo- ration to make itself liable as drawer, acceptor, or indorser of a bill unless it is competent to it so to do under the law for the time being in force relating to corporations.

(2.) Where a bill is drawn or indorsed by an infant, minor, or corporation having no capacity or power to incur liability on a bill, the drawing or indorsement entitles the holder to receive payment of the bill, and to enforce it against any other party thereto.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH FEBRUARY, 1885.

23. No person is liable as drawer, indorser, or acceptor of a bill who has not signed it as such: Provided that

(1.) Where a person sigus a bill in a trade or assumed name, he is liable thereon as if he had signed it in his own

name:

(2.) The signature of the name of a firm is equivalent to the signature by the person so signing of the names of all per sous liable as partners in that firm.

24. Subject to the provisions of this Ordinance, where a signature on a bill is forged or placed thercon without the authority of the person whose signature it purports to be, the forged or unauthorised signature is wholly inoperative, and no right to retain the bill or to give a discharge therefor or to enforce payment thereof against any party thereto can be acquired through or under that signature, unless the party against whom it is sought to retain or enforce payment of the bill is precluded from setting up the forgery or want of authority.

Provided that nothing in this section shall affect the ratification of an unauthorised signature not amounting to a forgery.

25. A signature by procuration operates as notice that the agent has but a limited authority to sign, and the prin- cipal is only bound by such signature if the agent in so signing was acting within the actual limits of his authority.

26. (1.) Where a person sigus a bill as drawer, indorser, or acceptor, and adds words to his signature, indicating that be signs for or on behalf of a principal, or in a representative character, he is not personally liable thereon; but the mere addition to his signature of words describing him as an agent, or as filling a representative character, does not exempt him from personal liability,

(2.) In determining whether a signature on a bill is that of the principal or that of the agent by whose hand it is written, the construction most favourable to the validity of the instrument shall be adopted.

The Consideration for a Bill.

27. (1.) Valuable consideration for a bill may be consti- tuted by,-

(a.) Any consideration sufficient to support a simple

contract;

(b.) An antecedent debt or liability. Such a debt or liability is deemed valuable consideration whether the bill is payable on demand or at a future time.

(2.) Where value has at any time been given for a bill the holder is deemed to be a holder for value as regards the acceptor and all parties to the bill who became parties prior

to such time.

(3.) Where the holder of a bill has a lien on it, arising either from contract or by implication of law, he is deemed to be a holder for value to the extent of the sum for which he has a lien.

28.'(1.) An accommodation party to a bill is a person who has signed a bill as drawer, acceptor, or indorser, without receiving value therefor, and for the purpose of lending his name to some other person.

(2.) An accommodation party is liable on the bill to a holder for value; and it is immaterial whether, when such holder took the bill, he knew such party to be an accommo- dation party or not.

29. (1.) A holder in due course is a holder who has taken a bill, complete and regular on the face of it, under the following conditions; namely,

(a.) That he became the holder of it before it was overdue, and without notice that it had been previously dishonoured, if such was the fact: (b.) That he took the bill in good faith and for value, and that at the time the bill was negotiated to him he had no notice of any defect in the title of the person who negotiated it.

(2.) In particular the title of a person who negotiates a bill is defective within the meaning of this Ordinance when he obtained the bill, or the acceptance thereof, by fraud, duress, or force and fear, or other unlawful means, or for an illegal consideration, or when he negotiates it in breath of faith, er under such circumstances as amount to a fraud.

141

142

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH FEBRUARY, 1885.

(3.) A holder (whether for value or not), who derives his title to a bill through a holder in due course, and who is not himself à party to any fraud or illegality affecting it, has all the rights of that holder in due course as regards the acceptor and all parties to the bill prior to that holder.

30. (1.) Every party whose signature appears on a bill is primâ facie deemed to have become a party thereto for value.

(2.) Every holder of a bill is primâ facie deemed to be a holder in due course; but if in an action on a bill it is admitted or proved that the acceptance, issue, or subse- quent negotiation of the bill is affected with frand, duress, or force and fear, or illegality, the burden of proof is shifted, unless and until the holder proves that, subsequent to the alleged fraud or illegality, value has in good faith been given for the bill.

Negotiation of Bills.

31. (1.) A bill is negotiated when it is transferred from one person to another in such a manner as to constitute the transferce the holder of the bill.

(2.) A bill payable to bearer is negotiated by delivery. (3.) A bill payable to order is negotiated dy the indorse- ment of the holder completed by delivery.

(4.) Where the holder of a bill payable to his order transfers it for value without indorsing it, the transfer gives the transferee such title as the transferor had in the bill, and the transferee in addition acquires the right to have the indorsement of the transferor.

(5.) Where any person is under obligation to indorse a bill in a representative capacity, he may indorse the bill in such terms as to negative personal liability.

32. An indorsement in order to operate as a negotiation must comply with the following conditions, namely:-

(1.) It must be written on the bill itself and be signed by the indorser. The simple signature of the indorser on the bill, without additional words, is sufficient.

An indorsement written on an allonge, or on a copy of a bill issued or negotiated in a country where “ copies " are recognised, is deemed to be written on the bill itself.

(2.) It must be an indorsement of the entire bill. A partial indorsement, that is to say, an indorsement which purports to transfer to the indorsee a part only of the amount payable, or which purports to transfer the bill to two or more indorsees severally, does not operate as a negotiation of the bill.

(3.) Where a bill is payable to the order of two or more payces or indorsees who are not partners all must indorse, uuless the one indorsing has authority to indorse for the others.

(4.) Where, in a bill payable to order, the payce or in- dorsee is wrongly designated, or his name is mis-spelt, he may indorse the bill as therein described, adding, if he think fit, his proper signature.

(5.) Where there are two or more indorsements on a bill, cach indorsement is deemed to have been made in the order in which it appears on the bill, until the contrary is proved. (6.) An indorsement may be made in blank or special, may also contain terms making it restrictive.

33. Where a bill purports to be indorsed conditionally the condition may be disregarded by the payer, and payment to the indorsce is valid whether the condition has been fulfilled or not.

34. (1.) An indorsement in blank specifies no indorsee, and a bill so indorsed becomes payable to bearer.

(2.). A special indorsement specifies the person to whom, or to whose order, the bill is to be payable.

(3.) The provisions of this Ordinance relating to a payco apply with the necessary modifications to an indorsee under a special indorsement.

(4.) When a bill has been indorsed in blank, any holder may convert the blink indorsement into a special indorse- ment by writing above the indorser's signature a direction to pay the bill to or to the order of himself or some other person.

•

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14тu FEBRUARY, 1885.

35. (1.) An indorsement is restrictive which prohibits the further negotiation of the bill or which expresses that it is a mere authority to deal with the bill as thereby directed and not a transfer of the ownership thereof, as, for example, if a bill be indorsed "Pay D. only," or "Pay D. for the account of X.," or "Pay D. or order for collection."

(2.) A restrictive indorsement gives the indorsee the right to receive payment of the bill and to sue any party thereto that his indorser could have sued, but gives him no power to transfer his rights as indorsee unless it expressly authorise him to do so.

(3.) Where a restrictive indorsement authorises further transfer, all subsequent indorsees take the bill with the same rights and subject to the same liabilities as the first indorsee under the restrictive indorsement.

36. (1.) Where a bill is negotiable in its origin it con- tinues to be negotiable until it has been (a) restrictively indorsed or (b) discharged by payment or otherwise.

(2.) Where an overdue bill is negotiated, it can only be negotiated subject to any defect of title affecting it at its maturity, and thenceforward no person who takes it can acquire or give a better title than that which the person from whom he took it had.

(3.) A bill payable on demand is deemed to be overdue within the meaning and for the purposes, of this section, when it appears on the face of it to have been in circulation

What is an unreason-. for an unreasonable length of time. able length of time for this purpose is a question of fact.

(4.) Except where an indorsement bears date after the maturity of the bill, every negotiation is primâ facie deemed to have been effected before the bill was overdue.

(5.) Where a bill which is not overdue has been disho- noured any person who takes it with notice of the dishonour takes it subject to any defect of title attaching thereto at the time of dishonour, but nothing in this sub-section shall affect the rights of a holder in due course.

37. Where a bill is negotiated back to the drawer, or to a prior indorser or to the acceptor, such party may, subject to the provisions of this Ordinance, re-issue and further negotiate the bill, but he is not entitled to enforce payment of the bill against any intervening party to whom he was previously liable.

38. The rights and powers of the holder of a bill are as follows:

(1.) He may sue on the bill in his own name :'

(2.) Where he is a holder in due course, he holds the bill free from any defect of title of prior parties, as well as from mere personal defences available to prior parties among themselves, and may enforce payment against all parties liable on the bill:

(3.) Where his title is defective (a) if he negotiates the bill to a holder in due course, that holder obtains a good and complete title to the bill, and (b) if he obtains payment of the bill the person who pays him in due course gets a valid discharge for the bill.

General duties of the Holder.

39. (1.) Where a bill is payable after sight, presentment for acceptance is necessary in order to fix the maturity of

the instrument.

(2.) Where a bill expressly stipulates that it shall be presented for acceptance, or where a bill is drawn payable elsewhere than at the residence or place of business of the drawee it must be presented for acceptance before it can be presented for payment.

(3.) In no other case is presentment for acceptance ne- cessary in order to render liable any party to the bill.

(4.) Where the holder of a bill, drawn payable elsewhere than at the place of business or residence of the drawco, has not time, with the exercise of reasonable diligence, to pre- sent the bill for acceptance before presenting it for payment on the day that it falls due, the delay caused by presenting the bill for acceptance before presenting it for payment is excused, and does not discharge the drawer and indorsers.

3rd November 1883 consequently the first year of the concession has nearly expired On the 29th July last a Company was duly formed and registere! for the purpose of acquiring and taking over with the assent and approval of the Governor in Council from the four Promoters named in the Ordinance the right to construct and maintain all or any of the Tramways numbered 1 2 3 4 and 5 in the Ordinance and all the privileges thereby conterred in so far as the Company might desire to excercise the same in respect of the said Tramways numbered 1 2 3 4 and 5 (but saving and excepting unto the said four Promoters the said privileges in so far as they might desire to exercise the same in respect of the Tramway Numbered Six in the said Ordinance) without paying any valuable consi- deration therefor and upon such terms and conditions as the said four Promoters should think fit The Capital of the Company was $500,000 divided into 10,000 Shares of $50 each The Company was duly advertised and subscriptions for shares invited up to the end of the month of September last The amount of subscriptions however did not come up to the Company's expectations and was not sufficient to float the Company successfully The causes of this are not far to seek. They arise no doubt from the present state of affairs between France and China and the deplorable depression of trade which is now existing In fact there could probably be no worse time than the present for floating the undertaking Under these circumstances we are requested to apply on behalf of the Company for the ⚫ consent of the Governor in Council to the extension for the period of 12 Calendar Months of the time allowed by the Ordinance for the substantial commencement of the construction of all the Tramways authorised by the Ordinance We have the honour to be Sir Your obedient Servants-BRERETON WOTTON & DEACON The Honourable FREDERICK STEWART LL.D., Acting Colonial Secretary''

The following finding of a Marine Court appointed to enquire into the loss of the British Steam- ship Castello, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 7th March, 1885.

FINDING.

W. H. MARSI,

Colonial Secretary.

We find that the British Steam-ship Castello, Official No. 77,042 of London, was stranded on Flat Island in the Tathong Channel near Hongkong, at about 11.30 P.M., of the 16th February, 1885.

We are unable to find any reasonable cause for the stranding of this vessel. There are two lights in this Channel both of which were distinctly seen. The Master states in his defence, that an un- usually strong current set the vessel out of her course; but Cape Collinson light, if properly steered for would have prevented any such accident as that under investigation.

We are of opinion that the Master JOIN EDWIN CHANDLER is to blame for the stranding of the Castello, and we direct that his Certificate of Competency No. 94,261 be suspended for a period of six

months from this date.

We think that after the stranding of the ship the Master did all he could for the safety of crew, ship and cargo, and we recommend that he be furnished with a First Mate's Certificate.

Dated at Hongkong, this 2nd day of March, 1885.

POLICE OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 22nd January, 1885.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward for the information of His Excellency the Governor, details the Police Establishment, the list of Pensioners, and the Criminal Statistics for 1884.

2. The Criminal Statistics show that 10,203 cases were reported to the Police during 1884, being an increase of 2,515 cases or 32.71 per cent. on the returns of 1883. In the sub-division of these ses into Serious Crimes (so-called), and Minor Offences, an increase of 229 cases or 9.45 per cent. is found in Serious Crimes, and an increase of 2,286 cases or 43.41 per cent. in Minor Offences.

3. This increase of 2,515 cases is mainly accounted for by 1,761 additional arrests for breach of the Pass Ordinance, 378 additional cases of Assault, Disorderly Conduct, and 263 additional arrests for Nuisance.

4. I have much pleasure in reporting that, judging from the records, the conduct of the Force, specially of the European element, appears to have been most satisfactory during the past year.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

The Honourable W. H. MARSH, C.M.G.,

The following Report on the height of Victoria Peak, furnished by the Government Astronomer, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 7th March, 1885.

ON THE HEIGHT OF VICTORIA PEAK.

W. H. MARSHI,

Colonial Secretary.

The height of Victoria Peak has been calculated (from the monthly means of observations made

2h'

during 1884) by aid of Ferrel's tables derived from the formula:- b'

H=60521.5 (log. B′-log B) (1+.001017 [t'+t-64°]) (1+.189) (1+.189) (1 + 2 ) ( 1 +

-) (1 − ) (1+.002606 cos. 2a).

H represents the difference of height betweca the upper and lower stations-here, the Peak and the Observatory; B the barometric pressure reduced to 32° Fahrenheit at the upper station as exhibited in the third column of the following table; B' the same at the lower station as exhibited in the second column; t the temperature of the air at the upper station, t' the same at the lower station as exhibited in the fifth and the fourth columns; b the tension of aqueous vapour at the upper station, b' the same at the lower station as exhibited in the seventh and the sixth columns; h' the height of the lower station above mean sea level-here, 107.1 feet, and a the geographical latitude of the upper station-- here, about 22° 16'.

It will be remarked that no correction for barometric gradient has been applied, in fact the height of the barometer reduced to sea level does not differ more than a fraction of a thousandth of an inch between the two stations, nor is a correction for diminution of gravity with increasing height called

for as both barometers are mercurial.

The mean of the resulting differences of height increased by 107.1 feet, the height of the lower station above mean sea level, gives finally the height of the Peak at the highest level of the rock where the look-out tower is erected. The differences in the results exhibited in the last column of the table are due principally to the fact, that it has been assumed that the mean of the temperatures of the air at the Observatory and at the Peak, represents accurately the average temperature of the air between the two stations. The probable error of the final result has been determined from these differences, to be about 14 inches. The height is therefore determined with such accuracy and a more accurate result can only be obtained from several years observations.

Altitude of Victoria Peak-1818 feet +1 feet above mean sea level.

Certificates issued under the act of May 6, 1882, and Decision 6240, before the passage of said act of 1884, are to be regarded as having the same effect as if said act of 1884 had not been passed.

Second. Chinese subjects, not laborers, desiring to come to the United States from countries other than China, may do so on production of a certificate corresponding to that required by section 6 of the act of July 5, 1884, to be issued by a Chinese diplomatic or consular officer, if there be one at the port of departure, countersigned by a United States consular officer, or, if there be no such Chinese officer stationed at such port, on a like certificate to be issued by a United States consular officer.

Third. The regulations contained in Decision 5544, and dated January 23, 1883, relative to the transit of Chinese laborers through the territory of the United States, will be applied to all Chinese persons intending to so go in transit through the United States.

Fourth. Chinese persons who may be compelled to touch at ports of the United States, in transit to foreign countries, may be permitted to land under the regulations of January 23, 1883, (S. 5544,) so far as the same may be applicable, such persons to take passage by the next vessel leaving for their destination or the voyage of which may form part of the route necessary to carry them to their destination.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 116.

The following letter by the Colonial Treasurer respecting the proposed establishment of a Casual Ward for destitutes is published for general information.

No. 7.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th March, 1885.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

TREASURY,

HONGKONG, 9th February, 1885.

SIR,-With reference to the question raised by you in C. S. O. No. 157 (returned herewith) on the subject of Destitutes and a proposed Casual Ward, which was referred to me for report, I have the honour to offer the following remarks.

2. The Destitute class here, other than Chinese, is mainly composed of seamen, with a sprinkling of mechanics, artisans, persons secking employment, or those of no occupation whatever. Chinese destitutes give but little trouble, appearing chiefly as professional beggars, who may appropriately be sent back to the mainland, from which they come.

3. Seamen form the next easiest class to deal with. A non-seaman destitute's case is complicated by the difficulty of finding employment, or of getting him shipped away. It will be well therefore to consider the case of destitute seamen first, then to pass on to destitutes of other occupations or of no occupation.

4. Destitute Seamen. The provision for British seamen under the Merchant Shipping Act is practically perfect, and the definition of a British scaman has been made as wide as possible. He is a British subject who has served on a British or a foreign ship, or a foreigner who has served on a British ship. No British seaman can be in distress except through his own fault, that is to say through having deserted, having been sent to Gaol for misconduct, having been wilfully left behind, &c. He may, however, have been duly discharged elsewhere, and have come here as a passenger. But this is the fault of the public officer who allowed him to be discharged under circumstances which must lead to his becoming a burden on the public somewhere. The provision for foreign seamen is not so perfect. Those Consuls who are also merchants can seldom do anything for them. A destitute seaman therefore is either a British seaman who has deserted or been in trouble, or a foreign seaman in the same case, or one who cannot obtain relief from his Consul.

5. Such a man presents himself to any benevolent person late, let us say, in the afternoon, and. implores assistance. He has no place to sleep in and nothing to eat. He has just finished twelve weeks imprisonment for desertion or refusal of duty, so that he cannot be disposed of by a summary committal as a rogue and a vagabond. His immediate necessities are a piece of bread to eat, and a roof to sleep under: how is he to obtain them?

6. The best practicable way of disposing of him hitherto has been to induce the Gaol authorities give him both, in which case he eats at Government expense, and might just as well do so in a properly organised shelter: The worst, and most common way, is to give him money, which he Probably at once spends not in food or in lodging but in drink. Enough money is probably thus. given in the course of a year to keep all the destitutes several times over.

rather

7. This rough and ready way of converting the Gaol into a Casual Ward is not, as yet, nearly useful as it. might be, because few people know about it, and even those few regard it as king a favour, a favour moreover which involves the writing of a note-and many persons would pay any small sum than add one more to the day's quota of notes to be written. If the plan is the continued it should be put at once on an organised and well-understood footing. Tickets suring admission into the Gaol should be bound in books like cheque books, and entrusted to certain Government Officers, they should also be sold to all charitable persons who choose to buy them, a anding public notice explaining the system being kept in the newspapers. The Gaol has some Avantages. Absolute discipline and cleanliness can be enforced there free of expense. Incorrigible Vagabonds can promptly be made to understand that the Police Court is only next door, and the

•

234 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 14TH MAR.. 1885.

sequel to the Police Court is hard labour. Destitutes can be given oakum to pick, thus lessening the cost of their keep. Perhaps in no other Casual Ward would it, without great expense, be possible to give bedding. Against this, however, must be set the repugnance a decent man feels "to have a key turned on him,” as some of these unfortunates say.

8. The Casual Ward here could perhaps be in one of only three places, that is to say attached to the Gaol, the Central Police Station, or the Sailor's Home. If at the Sailor's Home, the consent of the Trustees would have to be obtained either to the conversion of part of the present building into a Casual Ward, or to a small addition to the premises, for which there is probably ample room. It should consist of a room, furnished only with sloping boards for sleeping on, like those in a guard. room, or with Chinese bed-boards and tressels, or with bamboo beds, and with one or two solid fixed tables, and a few strong stools. There should also be a lavatory. The admission should be by ticket only, each ticket holding good for 24 hours. Tickets in books should be supplied free to

The Governor,

The Colonial Secretary, The Harbour Master,

The Registrar General,

The Surveyor General,

The Treasurer,

The Magistrates,

The Superintendent of the Gaol,

but all other persons should be able to obtain them at even less than cost price, say 10 cents each, or $1 for each book of 10. * Some idea of the amount of accommodation required may be gained from the experience of a Sailors' Shelter maintained here during the past four years by subscription. Bamboo beds, light, and soap and water seem to have been all that was provided, with an occasional ticket for a meal elsewhere. On the average eight men per night have occupied this shelter, which has afforded relief to about 160 different persons each year, the total expenses being as nearly as possible a dollar a day, including rent.

9. The diet should be the same as that allotted to European prisoners in the Gaol, which costs 15 cents per day each, and includes meat once in the twenty four hours. There would probably be no difficulty in arranging with the Compradore of the Sailor's Home to supply food on these conditions, and, so long as a man is costing the Government 15 cents a day, it does not much matter what building he is in. It would probably be necessary to allow the Superintendent of the Home about $20 a month for looking after the place. Strict cleanliness should be enforced by not allowing food to any man who had not done his share towards keeping it clean.

10. It may perhaps be objected that a Casual Ward at the Sailor's Home would too often become a source of disorder, noise, and riot. Such has not been the case at the voluntary refuge to which reference has been made. An occasional appeal to the police has sufficed to keep order, and, as there is a constable on duty at the Sailor's Home, and a Police Station immediately opposite, probably but little difficulty of the kind would arise. The next best place would be premises attached to the Gaol but not actually in it, or attached to the Central Police Station. Room might possibly be made at the Gaol by reconstructing the present miserable Office there, which was probably some old house or stable existing on the site when the Gaol was built.

11. Destitutes other than seamen. The chief difficulty about this class of men is, that instead of getting shipped away without expense, they cost the Colony £15 to £20 each to obtain passages elsewhere, and even then other colonies object to have them. Enquiries should be made at Calcutta and San Francisco as to the legislation in force there with regard to the responsibilities of the masters of ships who bring destitutes. It will probably be found that in the ports named not only is the master of a ship compelled to take back on board any man who is destitute, but also anyone is likely soon to become so. We should have similar legislation. It undoubtedly exercises a most wholesome check on the taking of destitutes to Calcutta.

whe

}

12. Even with such precautions in force, the moment a destitute artisan or labourer present- himself in the Colony, the same imperative necessity arises as in the case of the sailor. He must have bread to eat and a roof to cover him, at least till the next day, when perhaps better order can taken for him. And here the proposed Casual Ward is again found necessary, for it would supply both. If it be urged that the artisan or labourer will stay in such an asylum for an indefinite period, must be remembered that prison fare and a plank bed do not tend to invite a long stay anywhere, and there should also be a legal remedy against confirmed idlers and vagabonds, viz. to send them t hard labour.

Since writing the above an excellent ticket system of the kind described has been started by voluntary organisation, the relief he

given at the Temperance Hall. The expense however is much greater than that suggested above, each destituie relieved costing · the rate of $6 a week.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 14TH MAR., 1885. 235

13. Married destitutes are met with so seldom that it is not worth while to make any special provision for them. When such a case presents itself, the only thing to do would be to get the Colonial Surgeon or the Colonial Chaplain to find out, if possible, some decent people who would be willing to ke in the man and his wife for a little while on moderate terms till better arrangements could be made.

14. As a good many of the community here are interested in this subject, it might possibly be orth while to print this report as an appendix to the Gazette. Its public discussion can hardly fail to elicit some useful suggestions. Printed copies might then be circulated to

QUESTION.-The Honourable WONG SHING, pursuant to notice, asked whether any apology or explanation has been received from the French Authorities for the reported outrage committed on board a Coal barge in this Harbour on the 19th February last, while the barge was being employed to supply Coal to the French Man-of-war Duguay Trouin.

His Excellency the Governor replied as follows:-I am glad to be enabled to reply to the Honourable gentleman who so worthily represents in this Council his Chinese countrymen in a manner which I believe he cannot fail to consider satisfactory. When at the last meeting of Council my Honourable friend gave notice of his question, I observed as follows:---

"With reference to the question of which. the Honourable gentleman has given notice, I may mention now that the important matter to which he refers has not escaped my attention. A report on the subject was addressed to the Government by the Police, when I caused an official letter to be addressed to the French Consul. That gentleman has "replied that he will make enquiry forthwith, and state the result. Accordingly, when the Honourable gentleman asks the question of which he has given notice at the next meeting of this Council, I shall probably be in a position to afford him further information."

I have since received a letter from the French Consul containing a full explanation and expression of regret for the occurrence in question. He states that a misunderstanding arose between the French officers and the European contractor respecting the quality of the coal supplied to the French cruiser Duguay Trouin, for as a very limited quantity of coal is, in accordance with the instructions of Her Majesty's Government, permitted to be supplied to the men-of-war of the belligerent powers it is necessary to test the quality of the article furnished. Further, the Consul states that he regrets that any incident should have happened in consequence of this misunderstanding to give ground of complaint, and that he has written to the French naval authorities, so as to prevent a recurrence of any incident of a similar nature. He adds that the officer commanding the Duguay Trouin and the officers of the French navy generally fully recognise the necessity of avoiding all cause of dispute between the French seamen and the Chinese resident in this Colony, and of observing more faithfully than ever, under existing circumstances, the respect due to British sovereignty in the waters of Hongkong.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory hapiers serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

Colonial Secretary-

ANNUAL WEATHER REPORT FOR 1884.

The construction of accurate average values of the meteorological elements forms perhaps the st important operation in connection with the discussion of meteorological observations. Apart the insight into the nature of a climate, which is gained from a comparison of the averages with computed by similar methods for other places in the world, it is impossible to thoroughly erstand the indications of the instruments or the features presented by the weather, unless it is wwn accurately, how much the phenomena differ from their average values. But unfortunately many as observations must be at hand, before trustworthy averages can be derived, i.e., such as are likely be equal to the averages of future years. A very different number of years is required in case of different elements, but it is generally supposed that monthly means may be formed from ten years' servations. A longer series is required for five-day means, and again a much longer series for daily ans, and there are various interesting questions especially concerning the cosmic aspects of meteor-

that can be answered only when trustworthy daily means are available.

wry,

From these considerations it will appear, how very imperfect must be conclusions drawn from a ngle year's observations,--but on the other hand each single year has to be discussed, berore more urate averages can be obtained. In the following tables the hourly and monthly means of some of principal elements for the past year are exhibited. Such tables as would be positively mishe uling. wing to their being constructed from a single year's observations, have been suppressed in this riport.

Table I shows the mean height in inches of the barometer at the Observatory and at the Peak, the ter being the mean of the 10a., 4p., and 10p. observations, and the excess of the hourly values above

le mean.

The height of the barometer undergoes daily a double variation, which is so regular, that it may perceived even during considerable disturbances, the approaches of which are indicated bandan irregularities in the variation, and the heights of the barometer observed during the raging phoon must be freed from the diurnal variation, if the progress of the disturbance is to be prop

lerstood.

Ther

At 4a. the barometer begins to rise. It is at the time comparatively lower in spring, when the mosphere is saturated with moisture, than later in the year. It attains its mean height about ....

haps a little later in spring than in autumn and winter. At 10a., the height attains its fam ximum, which is in Hongkong the principal maximum except perhaps in June and July. Barometer stands comparatively highest at 10a. in mid-winter. After 10a. it begins to fall and attains

in its average value about 1p. in spring but shortly after noon about the latter end of aches its second minimum between 4p. and 5p. in spring but already about 3p. in wi reasons of the year this is the absolute minimum but comparatively lowest in winter. rises and reaches its third average shortly before 8p. The second maximum occurs about lap, br.: ps later in spring than in winter. This was comparatively highest in July. Then the bayone still about 3 a. in spring and about 4 a. in winter, when it attains its forenoon minimum, but this about three times as low in spring as in December. In fact in mid-winter the mean height of the neter is, considering the low latitude, remarkably constant during the night, which must 1. ed by the extreme dryness of the air and the comparatively great range of temperature.

The diurnal range in the different months came out as follows: Jan. 0.101, Feb, 0,109, Mar April 0.084, May 0.079, June 0.068, July 0.061, Aug. 0.076, Sep. 0,072, Oct. 0,958, Not

Dec. 0,111.

262 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 28тп MAR., 1885.

The annual variation of the height of the barometer is due to the seasonal heating and cooling the interior of Asia, which causes also the monsoons, This is clearly exhibited in the following tabl the first column of which shews the mean height of the barometer at the Observatory reduced to 32 and to mean sea level. The second column shews the mean excess of the barometer in Shanghai Hongkong, the distance between these stations being about 670 miles. The third column shews th mean excess of the barometer in Hongkong over Manila, the distance being about 600 miles. T data in the two last columns have been derived from the telegraphic reports for 10a. :-

The daily variation was remarkably constant throughout the year, except in December it was greater owing to the clearness of the sky and the dryness of the air. The hottest part of day falls about 2p. in winter and about 3p. in summer.. The greatest cold fell about 6a.

The daily variation was remarkably constant except in December, when it was much ater than during the previous months. The air is farthest from saturation and therefore feels driest at 3p. and nearest saturation between 4 a. and 6a. when it feels dampest. The average relative midity is registered between 8 a. and 9 a. and also about 7p.

Table IV contains the tension of aqueous vapour expressed in inches of mercury at the Observatory I at the Peak, the latter being the mean of observations at 10a., 4p., and 10p. The daily variation, - was to be expected from a coast station, is small, but there is less water vapour suspended in the in the morning than in the evening. Only in December, when the "weather was very dry, did the ly variation amount to any noteworthy proportion. The decrease of aqueous vapour with increasing ht is smaller than that indicated by HANN's formula, especially in winter when the clouds are low, a during the SW monsoon, when the clouds are higher, the decrease agrees better with the formula. The vapour tension has a gradual annual variation, which is perhaps even greater than in Calcutta. 1: maximum fell in July, and its minimum in December, but it may he seen from Table. III, that the r appears to be dampest in March, because then the air is almost saturated with water vapour, and y decrease of temperature of the air, or of any object with which it comes in contact, causes a part the vapour to be precipitated in the form of dew.

Both the relative humidity and the vapour tension were calculated by the aid of BLANFORD'S tables. Table V exhibits the total number of hours of sunshine registered. There. was more sunshine ring the afternoon than during the forenoon. The amount increased and reached its maximum in ember, although then of course the possible duration is a minimum. The actual minimum of shine occured in March and the change from maximum to minimum is abrupt.

Table VI exhibits the velocity of the wind expressed in miles per hour and the excess of the urly values above the mean. The velocity at the Peak has been calculated from the force estimated re at 10a., 4p., and 10p. The usual daily variation of the velocity of the wind with its maximum ut mid-day is seen at a glance, and the variation appears to be greater in summer than in winter. During the first months of the year there appeared to be a maximum in the early morning hours, as inted out in the monthly weather reports. The annual variation of the velocity of the wind is also t. The wind is stronger in winter than in summer. The velocity of the wind at the Peak, even ng into consideration that it is observed principally during the day, is much greater than near sea vel, and the annual variation is not so well marked. The secondary minimum of wind force in May well known to mariners, and also shown by the sea disturbance in Table XIII, is scarcely noticed e Peak. But different questions arising from this comparison will scarcely be answered till a -recording anemometer is erected at the Peak.

Table VII shows the mean direction of the wind at the Observatory and at the Peak. On an age the direction is a point more southerly at the Peak. The excess of the hourly direction above ean, expressed in degrees, has been counted from North through East towards South. The ing of the wind during the day is scarcely remarked except during the southerly monsoon, and in August was it prominent.-Already DAMPIER pointed out the comparative absence of land and breezes on cast-coasts, but KÖPPEN has lately propounded an hypothesis, according to which the ase and the veering of the wind during the hottest part of the day should be caused by the descent. colder air from above, the velocity of which is greater and the direction of which is seen to be southerly. ̧

264 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 28TH MAR., 1885,

Table VIII shows the total distance traversed by, as well as duration and average velocity winds from bi-quadrantal points. The velocity is a maximum for E winds during which the tru and the monsoon blow together, and which also preponderate while typhoons are passing across th China Sea south of Hongkong, but there is a secondary maximum for SW winds, whose duration i- however nearly a minimum.

Table IX shows particulars concerning the rainfall. It is plain, that the observers on Ston Cutter's Island and at the Peak neglect to measure the rain every day.

Table X contains particulars concerning different phenomena. Fog is at sea level noted only in spring. It is of course common at a higher level. Electric phenomena are most frequent in Angust. but most thunderstorms passed over the Colony in May. Some damage to property was caused by them. Unusual visibility of distant objects was most common in suminer, when the air is moist and at the same time fog absent. Rainbows, which are so common in Great Britain and Ireland, are rarely seen here. The maximum frequency of halos coincides with the maximum frequency of typhoons.

Table XI shows the frequency of clouds of different forms. During January cum, and R-cum. prevail. In February R-cum and nim prevail. In March cum-nim is the usual cloud. In April cum again prevails and holds the ground till next February.-C, c-str and c-cum reach their maximum in the typhoon season, the latter form of cloud already in July.-Sm-cum are common during the last half year.

In January the lower clouds came from E, and the direction veered with increasing height, the highest clouds coming from W. In February the lower clouds came from E but occasionally also from W or SW, the highest from W. In March and April the lower clouds came from SE, and the direction veered with increasing height, the highest clouds coming from W. In May the lower clouds came partly from E and partly from SW, the highest from W. In June the lower clouds came from SE by E and the highest from WSW. In July the lower clouds came from SSE. The average direction of the higher clouds was then perhaps about NE, but their direction whence coining is evidently dependent upon typhoons. In August the lower clouds came generally from the portion of the compass between W, S and NE and the upper from the portion between WNW, N and SE. In September no average direction could be made out. It depends upon the typhoons. In October the lower clouds came from E and the highest from W. In November the lower cane from E and the highest from different directions. In December the average directions could not be ascertained beyond doubt. It appears the lower clouds came from NE and the higher from SW or thereabout..

Clouds less than 2,000 feet above sea level were observed in January on 10 days, in February on 13 days, in March on 23 days, in April on 20 days, in May on 20 days, in June on 18 days, in July on 4 days, in August on 8 days, in September on 5 days, in October on 4 days, in November on 8 days and never in December. They were below 1,000 feet on one day in January, on 2 days in February, on 9 days in March, on 6 days in April and on one day in May.

Table XII shows the cloudiness, which is greater in the forenoon than in the afternoon, as appeared also from the sunshine-records. It reached its maximum in March, during which the sky was almost continuously overcast, and decreased then slowly till the minimum in December. In January the cloudiness increases abruptly.

Table XIII shows the sea-disturbance (0-9), which is greatest in November and December and least in summer.

Table XIV shows the mean readings of the solar radiation maximum thermometers, which were carefully compared in January and have been reduced to the standard kept at Kew. The mean maximum is recorded at the Observatory in July but at the Peak in August and September. The excess of these readings over the respective.mean maxima of air temperature are also exhibited. These figures, although they do not embody any definite measure of solar radiation, are perhaps for want of anything better useful for comparison with other places in the world. At the Observatory they are highest in July and at the Peak in December. The prevalence of fog at the latter station during parts of the year is evidently the cause of the general defect of radiation there, while the excess over the Observatory in December may perhaps prove to be real.

The same table shews the excess of the minimum air temperature above the minimum thermometer placed one inch above the ground. At the Observatory the ground was not turfed till August. The terrestrial radiation during the night reached a maximum in December. In spring and early summer the radiation thermometer at the Peak did not register lower than the temperature of the air, owing no doubt to the fog. But those figures do not exhibit a correct measure of the terrestrial radiation, as little as the figures referring to solar radiation, as the grass minimum gets wet from fog and rain an thus reads lower than the correct radiation temperature.

The same table exhibits the average height in feet to which one must ascend in order to have the mean temperature decreased one degree Fahrenheit. The figures have been computed from the mett temperatures in Table II, whereas in the monthly, weather reports observations at Cape d'Aguilar were also taken into account. The decrease of temperature with increasing height exhibits an annua! variation. It was a minimum in March, when the lower level of the clouds lay below the Peak, and

a maximum in June.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 138.

The following Report on Five-day Means of the Principal Meteorological Elements for 1884, from

rument Astronomer, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th March, 1885.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

FIVE-DAY MEANS OF THE PRINCIPAL METEOROLOGICAL

ELEMENTS FOR 1884.

The following five-day means have been constructed according to the recommendations of the International Meteorological Congress.

Being leap year the period February 25,-March 1, comprises six days.

Hongkong Observatory: The first column exhibits the height of the barometer in inches reduced to 2 Fahrenheit but not to sea level. The cistern is 110 feet above mean sea level. The means have been derived from the hourly readings except those for the first three months, which are derived from

i-diurnal observations, and have been reduced to the mean of twenty-four hours.

The second column exhibits the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit as derived from the hourly lings except those for the first three months, which are derived from observations made in STEVENSON'S Screen at 10 a. and 10p.

The third column exhibits the relative humidity derived from the hourly readings except those for the first three months, which are derived from tri-diurnal observations reduced to the mean of twenty-four hours.

The fourth column exhibits the vapour tension in inches derived from the hourly readings except se for the first three months, which are derived from tri-diurnal observations.

The fifth column exhibits the velocity of the wind in miles per hour derived from the hourly lings except those for the first two months, which are derived from velocities estimated every

ix hours.

The sixth column exhibits the percentage of the whole sky, that was covered by clouds, from bservations made every six hours.

The seventh column exhibits the average daily number of hours in which the sun shone.

The eighth column exhibits the average amount of rain in inches that fell in one day, as derived m the hourly readings.

Victoria Peak: The first column exhibits the height of the barometer in inches reduced to 32° Fahrenheit but not to sea level as derived from tri-diurnal observations. The cistern is 1821 feet

love mean sea level.

The second column exhibits the temperature as derived from observations made at 10 a. and 10 p. The third column exhibits the relative humidity from tri-diurnal observations reduced to the an of twenty-four hours.

The fourth column exhibits the vapour tension as derived from tri-diurnal observations.

The fifth column exhibits the force of the wind (0-12) from tri-diurnal observations.

The sixth column exhibits the average amount of rain in inches, that fell in one day as measured

10a.

279

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH APRIL, 1885.

His Excellency the Governor addressed the Council, expressing his entire concurrence with the motion, and read the following despatch which he had addressed to the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject:-

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, March 24th, 1885.

My LORD, I have the honour to report that the telegraphic intelligence of the death of Sir HARRY PARKES on the 22nd instant, of remittent typhoid fever, after three days' illness, has caused much sorrow in Hongkong, where he had formerly resided for several years. This feeling will be general throughout the English communities in China and Japan, with which he has been connected as Consul and Minister for above a quarter of a century. Even those who differed from some parts of Sir HARRY PARKES' policy always admired his many high qualities, his courage, his energy, his unselfish devotion to the public service. To myself he is a great loss. Our relations, both official and personal, have always been most cordial; he deplored that I had been obliged to seek, on medical certificate, the leave of absence which was so kindly granted by your Lordship; and he rejoiced and applauded when I decided, at whatever risk of health and sacrifice of personal convenience, to remain at my post during the present crisis in the affairs of this quarter of the globe. The feeling of Sir He had been for some time in HARRY PARKES on this point was identical with my own. failing health, and he felt severely the weight of work and responsibility pressing upon him, as upon me, at the present juncture. But he declined to listen to the advice given him to seek at least temporary rest and relaxation. Recently he wrote to a friend as follows:- "Where I may fail is in physical health, which warns me that the present strain will have its limits, and that some relief,-even if it be for a short period, will become indispensable. I shall do my best, however, to hold on till the end of this year." His friends knew, and Sir HARRY PARKES himself knew, that his impaired strength would yield altogether to any severe attack of illness, if he should determine to remain at Peking. He did so determine, and thus this able and gallant servant of his Queen and country has died by the most envi- able of all deaths, at the post of honour and duty.

Question-put and passed.

I have, &c.,

G. F. BOWEN.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial

practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

PAPERS.-The Colonial Secretary laid on the table Telegrams and Correspondence respecting the Armament of the Forts of Hongkong.

DIRECT TELEGRAPH LINE TO SINGAPORE.

TORPEDO LAUNCHES.-The Honourable THOMAS

JACKSON, pursuant to notice, moved the following resolution :—

"That in the Opinion of this Council, there ought to be direct Telegraphic Communica- tion between Hongkong and Singapore, the nearest British Settlement; and that immediate steps be taken to supplement the defences of Hongkong, by obtaining. with the least possible delay a flotilla of Torpedo Launches fully equipped."

The Honourable P. RYRIE seconded, and addressed the Council.

The Honourable W. KESWICK addressed the Council.

His Excellency the Governor addressed the Council, and spoke as follows:-

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,-I am very glad indeed that my Honourable friend who so worthily represents in this Council the Chamber of Commerce, has brought forward this most important resolution; and I thank him and I thank the two Honourable members who supported him for the way in which they have spoken of

296

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11тп APRIL, 1885.

myself and of the Executive of this Colony. I hope that this resolution will be carried unanimously. As the Honourable member said, it is owing to my exertions that the Un-official element in this Council was increased from two to five, and that the Chamber of Commerce was invited to nominate its own representative. I am sure from the able speeches my

Honourable friend has made on this and other occasions, and from his high character and position, that the Chamber of Commerce could not have made a better choice. In fact I look upon my Honourable friend as a living, and I am happy to add, flourishing, proof of the success of my policy. I said just now that I hoped that this resolution would be passed unani- mously, and I said so because it would give great strength to recommendations I have already made on the same subject to Her Majesty's Government. The fact is, gentlemen, that a truly paternal Governor on this as on other occasions has anticipated the wishes of his children. A great English statesman some years ago—I refer to Sir ROBERT PEEL-said it was the first duty of a statesman to be a little, but not too much, in advance of the people over whom he rules. Now it can be proved by documentary evidence that I have been in this question of defence twelve months at least in advance, not of the Royal Engineer Officers, ard others to whom my Honourable friend on my left (Honourable W. KESWICK) referred just now as having given special attention to the subject, but of general opinion in this community. I can only say that when I came here there was no general agitation on the subject of defences, and it was I who then first raised the question with the Imperial Government. I have prepared a minute showing exactly what has been done, and quoting from various documents, and with the permission of the Council I will now read that minute:-

"I arrived at Hongkong on March 30th, 1883; and six weeks afterwards, after careful study of the subject, I opened the question of the Defences of this Colony by an elaborate despatch to the Secretary of State (Lord DERBY), dated May 12th, 1883. In that Despatch, after entering fully into details, I concluded as follows:"-

I submit that your Lordship should move the War Office to prepare a full and final plan for the defences of Hongkong, and that such plan should be transmitted by Her Majesty's Government to both the Governor and the General Commanding the troops, with instructions to use all the authority and influence of their respective offices in assisting in carrying it into execution. The Major-General Commanding has read this despatch, and authorises me to state that he cordially agrees with my views in every respect. He fully concurs as to the urgent necessity of the War Office finally deciding on a complete plan of defence, and of that plan being carried into execution without unavoidable delay.

I may here observe that in the phrase "full and final plan," I referred to those various and conflicting schemes to which my honourable friend alluded just now. I knew, of course, that various Engineer Officers had proposed various plans, but none had been adopted, and the great point was that a full and final plan should be decided upon.

"After several detailed statements and arguments, I proceeded as follows:-

It has been frequently shown that Hongkong commands our Trade Routes in the Far East; that shipping to the amount of above five millions of tons (a larger tonnage than that which entered the port of London 40 years ago) yearly enters this port; and that it is of paramount importance not to suffer any nation, or any possible confederacy of nations, to destroy or lessen the prestige and influence of Great Britain with China and Japan, those rich and vast countries which have in all human probability a great future before them in the history of the world.

Such, Honourable gentlemen, was the language in which I opened the question of our defences just six weeks after my first arrival here. And I have followed up this opening by a long series of official despatches and (what has proved still more effective), of private letters to my personal friends among English statesmen and among the chief Military Authorities at the War Office. I cannot, of course, publish correspondence much of which is of a confidential character; but I am ready to show it to any member of this Council. I know that you, Honourable gentlemen, like myself, deprecate any 'irresponsible chatter' (as one of you has truly called it), which could have no other result but to point out any weak point in the armour of our country to our possible enemies-to all who fear or who envy the greatness of England. A perusal of my correspondence on this subject will show that what has been done, and is doing, for the defences of this Colony, is due mainly to my constant and persistent representations, aided, of course, by General Sargent, and by the other naval and military authorities. I am in cordial co-operation with Admiral Sir W. DOWELL, and with General CAMERON, who possess the entire confidence of the Admiralty and of the War Office; and this community can place full reliance on their prudence and energy. Sir W. DOWELL is now temporarily absent in the execution of measures which, if they could be divulg ed, would be regarded by all of you as the best calculated alike for the protection of our trade and of English interests generally in this quarter of the globe, and also for the protection of Hongkong. The Admiral has authorised me to state, moreover, that there will remain perma- nently in this harbour the formidable ironclad Wivern-now fully manned and equipped-and five other men-of-war, together with four torpedo boats, and a large provision of submarine mines. I may add that I have recently received a letter from the highest official military

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH APRIL, 1885.

297

authority in England, in which he writes that with the 'defensive power' of various kinds already provided, or which will shortly be provided for this harbour, 'you should laugh to scorn the possible attacks of the ships of all other nations now in the China seas.'

"I am sorry to be obliged to detain you so long; but I must now tell you precisely what has already been done with regard to the two subjects referred to in the Resolution proposed by my Honourable friend.

"(1.) The Government entirely agree that there ought to be direct Telegraphic Commu- nication between Hongkong and Singapore.' I have already communicated with the Imperial Government on this subject, both by telegraph and by despatch. I also brought it before the Executive Council, which, after full consideration, passed the following Minute :--

The Council advise that, in the present depressed state of the Colonial Revenue, it is impossible that this Colony should give any substantial contribution towards a direct telegraphic cable to Singapore, which is desirable for Imperial rather than for Colonial, for naval and military rather than for commercial interests.

"I have communicated on this point also with the Acting Governor of the Straits Settlements, who informs me that his Government, like that of Hongkong, is unable to give any substantial aid to the proposed scheme.

I was informed by the Manager of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company that a direct Telegraph cable to Singapore would cost about £400,000, that is, about twice the total annual revenue of this Colony; but I have been informed since that that is probably an extravagant estimate. It appears that the Company would require a guarantee of £20,000 yearly for twenty years. It is possible that the Imperial Government might be inclined to give a guarantee, or to aid in some other way.

(2.) With regard to the second point of the Resolution now before the Council, viz., the provision of a 'flotilla of torpedo boats,' I have already stated that Admiral Sir W. DOWELL has informed me that four torpedo boats, fully equipped, are attached to this harbour. After consultation with him, I have asked the Imperial Government, both by telegraph and despatch, to provide four more torpedo-boats, making eight in all, which the naval authorities consider amply sufficient. I may here add that the naval authorities believe that the Auxiliary Flotilla, formed of six of the steam-launches belonging to the Colonial Government, will afford very valuable aid. At my request, the Imperial Government has provided the Colony with a full equipment for this Flotilla of 7-pounder guns and Nordenfeldt machine-guns, and of rifles and revolvers for the crews, together with a large supply of ammunition. I am informed that two of the Government steam-launches can be fitted for torpedos.

"There are several other points connected with the subject of our Defences to which I should like to refer, if this Minute were not already longer than I intended. I should not omit, however, to mention that, more than a year ago, I strongly recommended the increase of the Garrison by a considerable force of Artillery and another regiment of the line. As you are aware, a second battery of the Royal Artillery was sent out at once.

It is impossible that, at the present crisis, a second battalion of English infantry should be spared; but I have been assured that arrangements have been made for sending here as soon as possible at least one regiment of Indian troops and two more batteries of Artillery, making four batteries in all.

"In conclusion, I would observe that nothing can be further from my intention, in writing this Minute, than to claim any special credit for the constant, zealous, and successful efforts which I have made during the last two years for the improvement of our Defences. I feel that I have only discharged what is one of the first duties of the Governor of this Colony at the existing crisis.

If no other Honourable gentleman wishes to address the Council I will now put the resolution to the vote, and I repeat that I hope it will be carried unanimously, for it is calculated to add force to the recommendations I have already made to the Imperial Government on the subjects of which it treats.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Iviperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

QUESTIONS.-The Honourable T..JACKSON, pursuant to notice, asked the following questions:--

1st. Has the Blockade of Pakhoi been legally notified?

2nd. Is it an effective blockade?

3rd. Can your Excellency suggest any remedies for the existing evils under which the trade of this Colony with Pakhoi, and the surrounding district is at present suffering, in consequence of the reported blockade?

His Excellency the Governor addressed the Council as follows:

HONOURABLE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,-My Honourable friend who represents the Chamber of Commerce has, in the exercise of his undoubted privilege as a Member of this Council, put questions to the Government on a subject of the gravest import- ance to the interests of this community. I am very glad indeed that my Honourable friend has taken this course, because it enables me to lay before the Council a Minute giving the fullest information which I have been able to collect on all the subjects connected with the matter to which he refers. Before reading that minute I will, with the permission of the ́ ́ Council, inform you of a telegram which I have during the last half hour received from Her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Peking:-

H.B.M. CHARGÉ D'AFFAIRES AT PEKING TO THE GOVERNOR OF HONGKONG.

(Received 8th April at 3.30 p.m.)

Protocol restoring peace between France and China has been signed in Paris, and would probably be submitted to the French Legislative Chambers on the 7th April.

Armistice with prohibition of contraband of war continues till definitive signature of Treaty. Please communicate to Admiral in command.

This, of course, I at once did. Favourable as is the prospect of peace, still as the present state of affairs seems likely to continue for a short time, I think it better that I should read to the Council the Minute to which I have referred :-

When the French Consul announced to me the blockade of Pakhoi and of the neigh bouring Coast, I immediately (on the 6th March ultimo), telegraphed this intelligence to Her Majesty's Government, and on the following day (March 7th), I addressed to Lord DERBY the subjoined despatch:

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH APRIL, 1885.

313

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 7th March, 1885.

"MY LORD, I have the honour to report that I yesterday telegraphed to your Lordship in the following terms:--

The French Consul informs me that a blockade will be established from March the 7th on Pakhoi and the neighbouring coast of China, from the frontier of Tonquin to the 107th meridian of longitude.'

2. This blockade was announced to the French Consul at Hongkong by a telegram from Captain DE BEAUMONT, commanding the French Naval Forces in Tonquin, dated at Haiphong on the 5th instant. It was added that no notice of the blockade could be given to the Foreign Consuls at Pakhoi, as no communications were possible between the French Naval Forces and that port. Consequently, I telegraphed to the above effect to the British Consul at Pakhoi (Mr. ALLEN).

3. It appears that the longitude referred to is reckoned by the French from Paris; and therefore, the blockade would seem to extend from the Frontier of Tonquin to a short dis- tance to the East of the Treaty Port of Pakhoi; which contains about 25,000 inhabitants and is the outlet of a large district.-Public Notice (By Proclamation in the Hongkong Government Gazette of March 7th 1885) of the blockade has been given at Hongkong, which carries on a considerable trade with Pakhoi; and Admiral Sir W. DOWELL has despatched thither the British Gun-boat Espoir.

4. It will be understood that the French are now blockading parts of the coast of China both to the North and to the South of Hongkong."

As is mentioned in this despatch, I lost no time in causing public notice of the blockade to be given in the Hongkong Government Gazette of March 7th, and there was a further notice in the Gazette of March 28th, when the British Consul at Pakhoi had sent me, under flying seal, a letter addressed to Her Majesty's Minister at Peking, to the effect that the blockade was then in active operation, being carried on by two French Men-of-war. This is all that I know concerning the blockade of Pakhoi.

The Council is, of course, aware (as the Honourable Gentlemen stated,) that all questions of the nature of that now under consideration should properly be addressed to the British Minister at Peking, who is ex-Officio Superintendent of Trade in China, and not to the Governor of Hongkong, whose jurisdiction is limited by law to the waters of this Colony. And it will be recollected that the Chamber of Commerce has hitherto acted on this prin- ciple, and has addressed its correspondence on matters affecting the trade of this community direct to the Minister, without even transmitting the letters through the Governor. The Honourable Member has, I think, given reasons which will be deemed sufficient by the British Legation in China, for treating the present case as an exception to the general rule of the Chamber. Moreover, I have always considered myself justified in addressing both Her Majesty's Governinent and my late lamented friend, Sir HARRY PARKES, on all matters affecting the commercial and general interests of this Colony. Thus I have reported, both by telegraph and by despatch, all the French blockades and other proceedings which can affect, directly or indirectly, the trade of this community; such as the stopping and search of the Glenroy, and of other British Merchant vessels, and of one of the P. & O. steamers; and the declaration of the French that they will treat rice as contraband of war. My instructions from the Imperial Authorities on this subject are to the effect that they recognise the exercise by the French of the customary rights of Belligerent nations, and that the legality of any seizure of a British ship by French cruizers "must depend, in the first instance, on the decision of the Prize Court, subject to ulterior diplomatic action."

These instructions confirm in principle the opinion given two months ago by my responsible Legal Adviser (the Attorney General), when one of the leading Mercantile Firms here asked a question of the Government as to whether coal would be regarded by the French as contraband of war; and suggested that the Home Government should be consulted on this point. I was then advised that "Neither the Imperial Government, nor the Colonial Government can give an authoritative opinion on questions of this nature, nor should any such application as that suggested be made to the Home Government.

Whatever cargo private firms carry in their ships on the China Seas under present circumstances, they carry entirely at their own risk."

I was further advised in connexion with this question that "it is of the utmost import- ance that the Colonial Government should not give any legal opinion upon matters of this kind; for otherwise it may find itself involved in dangerous responsibilities,

(1.) To the Belligerents; for acts which, though harmless from an international point of view so long as they are distinctly the acts of private persons only, and done without the sanction or connivance of the Government, might, if they were done under the positive sanction or advice of the Government, form a proper subject of complaint by the Belligerents.

314

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH APRIL, 1885.

(2.) To the Mercantile Firms, or other persons obtaining the opinion; who, if

harm should happen to them, would say that they were acting in accord. with the authoritative opinion of the Government, and were entitled to be eit supported by the Government or compensated by it for loss incurred while as within its advice."

Having thus stated as briefly as possible what has already taken place respecting this im ant subject, and the broad principles applicable to cases of this nature, I will now

reply the special questions put by my Honourable friend.

With regard to the 1st question, viz.: "Has the blockade of Pakhoi been lega notified?", I am advised that the notifications made to the Government and published in Gazette of the 7th and 28th March (as stated above,) would be regarded as sufficient affect all merchants in this Colony with notice of the existence of an actual blockade, :::. : with an obligation to observe it."

With regard to the 2nd question, viz.: "Whether the blockade is effective?" I .. advised that this is a question, the reply to which must depend on facts of which the Colc Government has no precise knowledge.

With regard to the 3rd question, I must, of course, in the first instance, communic respecting it with Her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Peking, who has already expressed i.. desire to co-operate with me as heartily as did Sir HARRY PARKES. Meanwhile, I w remark that, while there is no doubt but that the place where the legality of any seizur of ships must be tested is the Prize Court of the captors, still, at the same time, if und - pretence of seizing vessels for breach of blockade, or for other similar offences, any Belligere. Power were to pursue any system clearly in violation of the rights of neutrals, as recogni by international law, the Government of the neutral Power would interfere on behalf of i subjects. I shall not fail, whenever circumstances seem to require it, to invoke energetica! that " ulterior diplomatic action" which has been referred to above.

In conclusion, I would observe that, after the persevering efforts which I have ma! during the two years of my administration here, to procure the strengthening of the Defenc and to promote the general interests of this Colony, I need hardly assure this Council that sympathize deeply with the grave inconveniences to which our Mercantile community ha been subjected for some time past in consequence of the protracted Franco-Chinese compli tions. The general depression of trade has, moreover, led to a serious depression in t public revenue. But I have entire confidence in the elasticity of our resources, and in t energy and enterprise of this community; and I hope that the return of peace will soot restore the former prosperity and progress of Hongkong.

The following Report of the Colonial Surgeon for the year 1884, together with its Enclosures, which were laid before the Legislative Council on the 15th instant, are published for general informa-

By Command,

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th April, 1885.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 30th March, 1885.

SIR, I have the honour to forward my Annual Report for 1884, together with the Tables showing the work done in the different Establishments of the Medical Department. I also forward reports from the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, the Superintendent of the Lock Hospital, and the Government Analyst.

POLICE.

2.--The admissions from the Police Force to Hospital, in 1884, show a decrease of over one hundred as compared with 1883. For the last four years the numbers have been as follows:-1881, 498; 1882, 549; 1883, 599; and 1884, 486, shewing a considerable improvement, especially when the strength of the Force in the different years is taken into consideration. The average strength of the Force in the last four years has been:-1881, 624; 1882, 588; 1883, 658; and 1884, 666.

3. There were seven deaths in the Force: one European, one Indian, and five Chinese; of these deaths only two occurred in Hospital; one European and one Chinese. The Indian died in India while away on leave. One Chinese died in China while on leave, and three others in their own houses.

4.-Table I shews the admissions to Hospital of each class of the Force during each month of the year 1884. The number of admissions of every class is, as usual, largest in the summer months.

5.-Table II gives the average strength of the different sections of the Force, the death rate of sickness and mortality to strength.

6.-Table III shews the number of admissions to Hospital of the different sections of the Force from the different stations and districts.

7.—The Water Police Hulk being burnt, destroyed one great source of sickness amongst the Force, but the new Water Police Station not being ready, the men were located at Crosby's Store which, during their stay there, proved no improvement on the Hulk. Towards the end of the year they were removed into the New Water Police Station on the Kowloon side and this, so far, has been a great improvement. It has yet to be seen how it works in the summer months.

8.-Stanley Station, which in 1883 sent in twenty-eight cases, this year only sent in thirteen; the number is still high as, in 1882 only, seven cases were received. This year, while the old Station is being partially rebuilt and repaired, the men have been stationed in the old military quarters there.

9.-No. 2 and No. 3 Stations sent in 18 cases this year, as compared with 39 in 1883. Most of the cases come from No. 3 Station which should be pulled down and entirely rebuilt; there is plenty of room for an excellent Station there.

'10.-No. 7 Station sent in 29 cases, as compared with 58 in 1883. This Station should also be entirely rebuilt, as there is plenty of room for an excellent Station and no reason for its being so insa- lubrious.

11.-The Central Station furnishes many more cases than it should do. This Station and No. 9 admit of much improvement. The latter, an old Station of the Bungalow description, only used for married quarters, should be rebuilt with two stories. Whitfield Station is now the worst of the out-stations and sends in a very bad class of fever cases, though, as regards the building itself, there is nothing to quarrel with; but a great amount of earth cutting, &c., has being going on of late years in the neighbourhood. However, I think, time will work improvement in this Station.

12.-The admissions to Hospital from the various sections of the Force for the last four years are as follows:-

Europeans.

Indians.

Chinese.

17.—The sickness, therefore, is nearly equal to any of the previous five years and is only exceeded twice in the previous nine years, while the number of deaths is only exceeded once in the previous

nine years.

18.-The Indian Troops, like the Indian Police, seem to suffer more from sickness in proportion to their strength than the white Troops or Police. The Indian Troops have, as a rule, better quarters lighter duties, and less exposure than the Police, yet their sickness in proportion to their strength is not much less, so that the sickness among them cannot be accounted for in this way. Their own climate is as cold in winter, as most of them come from northern India, and very much hotter in summer, and it is not less variable in its changes. The same diseases are common to both climates. They can in both cases procure the diet they are accustomed to in their own country and they are both better paid and clothed. So that it is difficult to account for so much sickness amongst them in both

cases.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

19. This Establishment is now conducted in the Old Lock Hospital which has been altered and improved according to the plans approved by the Secretary of State and now provides handsome airy wards for the patients.

20.--The New Lock Hospital is still occupied as part of this Establishment and will remain so until the Fever Wards, Venereal Wards, Coolies Quarters, &c., &c., are finished, which, I hope, will take place before the end of the year.

21.-Besides these buildings, a new Hospital, a Mortuary and a Laboratory have to be constructed and the ground for these buildings is now in course of preparation.

22. The house for the Superintendent is also in the course of construction. The foundations have been laid and I hope a few months more will see it completed.

23. The New Public Mortuary is now in working order and there will be no longer any offensive long deceased bodies brought to the neighbourhood of the Hospital.

24. The admissions during the past year have not been quite so numerous as in the two former years, 1881 and 1882. The following table shews the number and position of the patients brought to Hospital for the past four years.

25. The decrease in the admissions to Hospital are, it will be seen above, chiefly due to the Police, Board of Trade and Government Servants, all of which it is very satisfactory to note. Private ving patients remain about the same. Police cases shew a steady increase in every year which is satisfactory. Destitutes are about the same.

26.-Table V shews the character of the diseases admitted to Hospital.

27.—Table VI shews the rate of mortality of the different classes admitted to Hospital. 28.-Table VII shews the admissions and deaths in each month of the year, both sickness and mortality being greatest in the last seven months of the year. This is not usual; the summer months June, July, August, and September have generally brought in the larg st number, but this numbers in all classes kept up pretty steadily to the end of the

year.

29.-Table VIII shews the number of dead bodies brought to the ortuary and shews a great decrease in the number of children, only 25; the number of adults has also been considerably decreased, being 56, but for the last three months of the year the bodies were taken to the new Public Mortuary of which the record is not set down here.

30.-The number of admissions and deaths in the Government Civil Hospital for the past ten years are as follows:-.

31.-The percentage of deaths to admissions, 3.69, is the smallest percentage in the past ten years, showing that the cases admitted have been less severe in character than in former years.

32.-Many of the complaints in the Superintendent's Report will, I hope, be rectified in the course of the year. They have all been reported on in previous reports.

So that, although there is an increase of over 500 in the admissions, there is only an increase of 10 in the daily average number of prisoners in Gaol. This shews a slight improvement in the daily average For the past two years.

36. The number of sick admitted to this Hospital is still large and is owing, as before reported, the number of vagabonds and beggars sent in of late years.

37.--Tabl IX shews the admissions to Hospital, the nationality and discase and the number of deaths, which was only three.

322 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 18тп APR., 1885.

38.-Table X shews the number of cases treated in the cells. Besides these there are numbers of petty complaints not registered who, together with malingerers and others, come up for examination every morning or to be passed for punishment.

Table XI shews the rate of sickness and deaths in the Gaol for the year 1384.

Table XI, a shews the caracter of the cases admitted to the Gaol Hospital immediately on their reception from the Courts. I the case of Europeans it is principally from the effects of alcohol; in that of Chinese, debility or vi hereal disease. Many of them come in looking so seedy that they are put under observation for a time, o make sure of their condition.

Table XI, 6 shews the number of opium smokers of one mace and upwards, admitted to Gaol this year, the quantity smoked by each daily, the number of years they have been addicted to the habit, their weight when admitter and their weight for every week of the first month of their detention or as long as they remained if less than a month; with the nature of the complaints of those under treatment in Hospital. Thus, out of 87 recorded smokers, there were only 12 under treatment and none of these exceeded two mace in their consumption of opium. One opium smoker died this year, a case of general debility, and this is the first opium smoker that has died in the Gaol in the eleven years I have been in medical charge. This was very sensationally made use of in some Public Papers, under the head of DEATH OF AN OPIUM SMOKER IN VICTORIA GAOL. The largest consumer of opium admitted this year was No. 14, five mace; he had been eight years an opium smoker and weighed 80 lbs. on admission, increased 3lbs. Three had been opium smokers for thirty years, one daily consuming one mace, one daily consuming two mace, and one daily consuming three mace. The lightest weight admitted was 75lbs., his daily consumption 3 mace and he increased in weight 8lbs. in the first month; had smoked 20 years.

The heaviest weight admitted is 139 lbs., his daily consumption 2 mace, increase in weight 7 lbs., had smoked 20 years; none of these last received any special treatment.

I can find no special symptoms common to all opium smokers when deprived of the use of the drug; they are all ready enough to complain if there is anything the matter with them, and are all watched with the greatest care, and I find nothing to recall in anything I have stated in previous reports.

Nothing has been done in the way of chemical analysis of the opium smoke, as the very limited accommodation for laboratory work is hardly equal to the ordinary requirements of the Government Analyst, who has had much difficulty and discomfort to contend with, in even his ordinary duties.

There still remains as an established fact that the sudden deprivation of the drug produces no evil effect and causes no appreciable discomfort, certainly nothing more than a tobacco smoker would suffer.

TEMPORARY LUNATIC ASYLUM.

39. This wretched building is no longer in existence. The patients were removed from it at the end of the year,

and we now have a fine airy building not far from the Government Civil Hospital. 40.--There were only six admissions this year, four males and two females. Four were discharged and sent to their native places relieved, and two remain.

41.-Table XI, d shews the number, nature, and nationality of the cases and the length of their

detention.

TUNG WA HOSPITAL.

42.--The total number of patients admitted to this Hospital during the year was 1,474; the total treated 1.558; of these 755 died.

The number of out-patients treated was 102,811.

The number of moribund cases brought to Hospital is 291.

The number of Small Pox cases treated in the Small Pox Wards of this Hospital was 15; of these 7 died.

The number of vaccinations successfully performed by the travelling vaccinators of the Tung Wa Hospital during the year was 1,694.

LOCK HOSPITAL.

43.-The new Lock Hospital being still used as a portion of the Civil Hospital, two Small private houses, near the latter, are still in use as a Temporary Lock Hospital, with no ground attached for exercise, but I hope by the end of the year this state of things may be altered and the women received in their proper quarters.

44.—Table XV, a shews the number of women admitted to Hospital for the last 27 the average number of days they were under treatment, with the exception of last year; compared with which there is one day increase; this is the lowest average in the 27 years, showing that the disease treated is for the most part of a mild character.

45.-Table XV, b shows the number of beds provided in the Lock Hospital, the number women detained in Hospital, the number coming to be examined and the number of examinations mad

16.-Table XV, c shews the number of men treated for venereal discase in the different Hospitals, litary, Naval, Police and Civil Hospitals, with the average number of men in Garrison and Port different classes per month.

17.-Table XV, d shews the number of women treated in the Lock Hospital and the nature of ir complaints,-only two of them have been found to suffer from constitutional disease.

45.-Table XV, d 2 shews the number of unregistered women proceeded against, of whom 193 re convicted and 39 found to be diseased.

Table XV, e shews the nature of the complaints among the men treated in the different Hospitals, with a comparison of the numbers of the last three years.

Tables XV, e 1 and XV, e 2 show the amount of constitutional disease contracted amongst the Naval and Military men.

Table XV, e 2 shews that none of the Naval Seamen contracted constitutional disease in Hongkong and only four contracted it elsewhere, as compared with 8 having contracted it in Hongkong and 24 elsewhere in 1883.

Table XV, e 1 shews that 28 of the military contracted constitutional disease in Hongkong against 13 in 1883. Of the Police, 8 contracted constitutional disease, the same number also in 1883.

49. The rise in the number of men attacked among the Military with constitutional symptoms is not easily accounted for, as the number of men diseased from all venereal complaints is 159 as compared with 153 in 1883, shewing but a slight increase in the total number of complaints.

50.—The Police have had 41 men sent to Hospital suffering from venereal disease, as compared with 42 in 1883; 8 of those suffered from constitutional disease and the same number in 1883.

51.-The seamen, not knowing their way about, rarely come in contact with any but the regis- tered women, but both Military and Police are well aquainted with the town and with the whereabouts of unregistered women; but the Police have not suffered more than last year from constitutional disease, whereas the Military have more than doubled this number and the reason why I am unable to understand.

HEALTH OF THE COLONY.

52.-Table XVI shews the rate of mortality among European and American Residents in Hong- kong. The percentage to the number of residents for 1884, 3.09, is the highest in the past ten years. I give below the tables of the death rates for the past twelve years among Europeans and Chinese, as registered in Hongkong, from diseases which may be caused by filth poison..

324 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 18TH APR., 1885.

53.--The figures in the European Table vary but slightly in the different years and classes of disease and the totals still less. The figures in the Chinese Table vary very cansiderably in the different years,

both as regards the different classes of disease and the totals. Why Enteric Fever shoul vary from 12 to 679, simple continued Fever from 46 to 733 and Diarrhoea from 195 to 701, is very hard to say. I have here given the lowest and the highest numbers in any of the twelve years given in the tables. I can only ascribe it to a confusion in the diagnosis of the different diseases. The totals show that the mortality from these different diseases went up by pretty large jumps from 1873, when the total was 319, to 1879, when the total reached 1,478 in 1880; the total made then a large

drop to 1,030 and then went on rising again till 1883, when the total reached 1,496; this year it has again made a large drop to 1,035. Typhus I have laid no stress upon, as it has not, so far as I can ascertain, been diagnosed by European Physicians as occuring in the tropics and is not a disease, unless carefully isolated, likely to stop at one or two cases.

54.-The only cases, as far as I can ascertain, of true Typhus ever seen by European Physicians in Hongkong, were some cases received many years ago in the Seamen's Hospital, now the Naval Hospital, and they all came in vessels from Japan. Still it is very clear that these classes of diseases have very largely increased of late years among the Chinese, as is shown by the totals, and have not shown any great inclination to go back to their former small numbers, which does not speak well for the Chinese portion of the City of Victoria or the Villages of Hongkong, as regards sanitation.

55.-The Sanitary Board can do little to help this state of things, as long as the Building Ordi- nance and other Ordinances affecting the General Health of the Population remain as at present, for they are powerless to interfere in many cases. For instance, in the majority of Chinese Houses and many of those occupied by Europeans who can get no other quarters, the latrine is situated in the kitchen, not a very pleasant thing to think of. Not that the Chinese themselves like this arrangement, but they, like some Europeans, are compelled by circumstances to put up with it. It will at any rate take many years to remedy this state of things. Then all wells should be done away with especially in the Chinese quarters of the Town, (the state of the drainage as shown in Mr. CHADWICK's reports rendering the subsoil of the town yearly more unwholesome), and this cannot be done so long as the water supply is so limited. Many wells, that cannot be chemically proved to be unwholesome, are far from coming under the head of what are called potable waters. And many of them are by the Chinese themselves condemned as unfit for drinking, but are used for washing purposes only. Many have been closed as being unfit for any purpose, and this inflicts great hardship and expense on the poorer class of Chinese in the neighbourhood, who obtained their water from this source, for they have to go to much further a field for their supplies.

56.—The progress of reorganising the drainage is necessarily slow and this also greatly depends on the water supply.

57. The markets, which are sadly in need of improvement, will also have to wait and many other things that I have brought to notice years ago in my reports remain in statu quo or have improveď for the worse.

Mr. Crow's analytical report is very interesting. Besides the reports on some poisoning cases, on poisons in use by the Chinese, there are other things well worthy of circulation.

The analysis of bread supplied from various sources in Hongkong was very satisfactory. Nothing of an unwholesome nature was to be detected in any case.

The analysis of the water supply is not satisfactory. The water supplied from the Pokfúlam Reservoir is good, but of 42 wells examined only one, situated in Caine Road, was found to be equally good, the others only varied more or less in impurity, in most cases greatly so, and some wells were utterly condemned as unfit for any purpose.

The analytical work has been greatly hampered by want of a proper Laboratory, which want, hope, will soon be rectified.

I have the honour to be,

Enclosure 1.

Report from the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 19th February, 1885.

SIR, I have the honour to forward the Hospital Statistics for 1884, with a few remarks upon the working of the Hospital during the past year.

2. The beginning of the year found the Civil Hospital Establishment very much scattered and carrying on its work under great difficulties, in a variety of buildings, and with a staff mostly new to Hospital work.

3. The patients and part of the staff were lodged in a portion of the old female Lock Hospital, in the new female Lock Hospital, and in the old West Point school building; while the Apothecary had temporary quarters at some little distance up the hill, and the Superintendent temporary quarters still farther off.

4. The old female Lock Hospital is now, at the close of the year, partly rebuilt, and though not yet finished, is occupied by part of the patients and staff, the remainder of the patients and staff, with the exception of the Superintendent, occupying the new female Lock Hospital.

5. The Superintendent remains in the temporary quarters away from the Hospital.

6. The Superintendent's official residence adjoining the Hospital, the construction of which was ordered in March 1883, was commenced in June 1884, and though the Surveyor General reported that it would be ready for occupation in September 1884, the foundations are barely completed and the superstructure is not yet begun.

7. It is hardly necessary to remark that the completion of the Superintendent's residence will conduce largely to the efficiency of the Establishment, and the comfort of the patients. Moreover, the Government is paying house-rent for temporary quarters, and there will be an annual saving in money on the completion of the official residence.

8. The Apothecary, Steward, and European Ward-master were all recently appointed, and were new to Hospital work at the beginning of 1884, but twelve months' experience has familiarized them with their respective duties, and the work now goes on more smoothly.

9. The clerk who was appointed to the Hospital, December 1st 1883, fresh from school, did not work satisfactorily and he has now left the service.

10. Continual trouble is experienced with the lowest class of attendants in the Hospital. They are only paid six dollars ($6) a month and have a good deal of night watching in the wards besides regular work in the day time; so it is no wonder if they are not very zealous in performing their duties and not very anxious to remain in the service. It seems hardly reasonable to expect common coolies, at six dollars a month, to nurse the sick and to sit up at night with them.

11. There are at present 98 beds in use, and the stress of the work falls upon the medical officer and the European ward-master.

12. The need of a second medical officer is daily felt in the Establishment and there should also be a second European ward-master.

13. The strain upon the medical officer is somewhat relieved by the gratuitous assistance of Dr. MARQUES, who is good enough to attend to urgent cases, when he chances to be at hand in the Superintendent's absence.

14. The calls upon the ward-master are so constant and so harassing, that there is always a risk of his going the way of his predecessors.

15. These almost without exception have succumbed to the pressure, and however promising and well recommended on joining the service, have nearly all taken to drink and dissipation.

16. The Hospital register records 1,423 cases, of which 69 were not admitted.

17. These latter, comprising 11 cases of dog bite, 2 of gun-shot wounds, 1 attempted drowning, and a number of contused and lacerated wounds, received the necessary attention in the surgery and were dismissed.

18. The remaining 1,354 treated in Hospital included 46 who remained at the end of 1883.

19. Of this number 486 were Police, and the reinaining 868 consisted of merchant seamen, private residents, destitutes, prisoners, members of the Chinese Customs and Revenue services, and officers and seamen from foreign ships of war.

20. Two invalid soldiers were received from the French expeditionary force at Keelung.

21. The admissions from the Police were 113 fewer than in 1883.

22. Table III shows the number from each Station,

23. A number of weakly men and invalids have been discharged from the force, and the burning of the Water Police Hulk in February removed a fruitful source of disease.

•

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 18TH APR., 1885. 337

24. The temporary quarters of the Water Police in Crosby's Store were very unwholesome, but new barracks at Tsimshatsui were at length occupied in September, and improved health and reased efficiency may now be looked for in consequence.

25. The temporary quarters occupied by the Police at Stanley since August 1883, appear to be luctive of a severe form of remittent fever complicated with paralysis of the extremities. It would well to have the Police Station there repaired and re-occupied.

26. Whitfield Station furnishes a large number of cases of remittent fever, some of them severe. The condition of this neighbourhood is capable of improvement.

27. The Police suffered principally from malarial diseases, fever and dysentery, bronchial affections, and surgical injuries.

28. The total number of days spent in Hospital in 1884 by members of the force was 5,157; in 1883 it was 5,990. About half as many more days were spent off duty on sick leave.

29. Ten patients were admitted from foreign ships of war; one officer and two seamen from American vessels, three Russian and three Spanish seamen, and one seaman from an Italian Corvette. 30. Table V shows the varieties of disease among the patients generally, with the Mortality from each.

31. Malarial diseases, fevers and bowel complaints, are prominent in the list and though not many were fatal, in a large number of cases there ensued severe anemia and serious deterioration of health. A number of cases were complicated with paralysis of the extremities and none of these had quite recovered the use of their lower limbs when discharged.

32. Enthetic disease was slightly diminished but the numbers treated in Hospital are no criterion. of the amount of the disease in the Colony.

33. Twenty-three cases of Alcoholism and Delirium Tremens were admitted; at one time no fewer than four being under treatment. This was rather trying to the resources of the Establishment, for there was no proper accommodation for them, and they not only disturbed the other patients, but some of them, being powerful men, required the whole strength of the nursing staff day and night to keep them within bounds.

34. In the course of the year a number of lunatics were sent to the Civil Hospital for observation before being admitted to the Lunatic Asylum. As there is neither accommodation for such cases in the Civil Hospital, nor a sufficient staff to detail special nurses to watch them, the Government might consent to supposed Lunatics being sent to the Asylum for observation. While insane persons are under observation, prior to being placed under restraint, there is always a risk of homicidal or suicidal impulses being developed, and if this were to happen in the Civil Hospital the consequences would be disastrous.

35. Eye diseases were about the same as last year.

36. Bronchial and pulmonary complaints were not more numerous.

37. Hepatic affections were as usual.

38. At the end of July a German seaman was admitted with choleraic symptoms, and died in 4 hours. He had recently arrived from Swatow in the steam-ship Glücksburg.

39. Three Chinese women in labour were brought to the Hospital for assistance; they had all been in labour for several days, and required instrumental aid. Two were successfully delivered, one of whom died of puerperal fever three weeks after. The third died undelivered half an hour after arrival at the Hospital.

40. If the Chinese sick poor are to depend for medical treatment upon the so-called Doctors of the Tung Wah Hospital, a room might still be set apart in that Establishment for women in labour requiring assistance, and European aid callel in when necessary.

41. The Chinese know nothing whatever of midwifery, and at the Civil Hospital there is neither proper accommodation for such cases nor a sufficient staff to attend to them.

42. Only a few days ago a woman in labour sent to the Hospital by the Police was found to be dead on arrival.

43. Twenty-eight cases of debility were received in which no special symptoms were observed. 44. Twenty-seven admissions were set down to privation, this appearing to be the exciting cause of the mischief present.

45. Drunkenness sent 25 men to Hospital, most of them with broken heads, &c.

46. There were 98 cases recorded as having been under observation, and these constitute a troublesome class of patients, which includes Police constables and merchant seamen, prisoners in Police Custody, and complainants in the Police Court, with a considerable number of loafers.

Some of them were really sick but a large number were impostors. The discipline of the Police Force, and the ends of justice, as well as the economical administration of the Hospital Establishment, require that these cases should receive special attention.

17. Only three cases of opium poisoning were admitted to Hospital, but a number were taken by the Police direct to the Mortuary.

33S SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 18TH APR.. 1385.

48. Four cases of datura poisoning were treated in Hospital; the use of this poison seems to be more common in the Colony than formerly.

49. Wounds of all kinds, and fractures figure largely in the list as usual.

50. Fifty deaths occurred in Iospital during the year.

51. Up to September 9th, 85 dead bodies were deposited by the Police in the Iospital dead-

house.

52. On the 10th September the Public Mortuary at Shekt'ongtsui, being nearly finished, was made available for use, and since that date the Police have taken there all the dead bodies which came into their hands. The patients and staff of the Hospital have thus at last been relieved of what was a constant source of danger and discomfort.

53. The receipts from patients in 1884 amounted to $7,144.45: of this $1,675.75 was derived from the Board of Trade, and $837.42 from the Police. In 1883 the receipts were $8,413.22: of which $1,826.25 was from the Board of Trade, and $1,102.25 from the Police.

54. The visitation of the Hospital by Justices of the Peace, in abeyance for some time past, is to be resumed at some future period. This will be a great advantage, as it will encourage the staff by showing that an interest is taken in their work, and it will also facilitate the remedying of defects in the Establishment.

55. If I might make a suggestion to those responsible for the construction of the Civil Hospital, I would represent the propriety of a laundry forming part of the Establishment. The soiled bedding and clothing is now sent to the Gaol and washed by the convicts, and the result is unsatisfactory.

56. A Hospital report should include something in the shape of scientific observation, and might be expected to contribute something towards a knowledge of the diseases of the locality. This is out of question, however, with one medical officer in sole charge of a general Hospital of 98 beds, a small- pox Hospital of 10 beds, and medico-legal work to perform as well. With such difficulties in the way of nursing and administration as have been described, it is satisfactory that the year's work has been got through without any remarkable failure.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

Dr. PH. B. C. AYRES,

Colonial Surgeon.

Enclosure 2.

Report on the Lock Hospital.

C. J. WHARRY, M.D., Superintendent.

GOVERNMENT LOCK HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 8th January, 1885.

SIR, I have the honour to forward a short report on the work done during last year in this Establishment in connection with the Contagious Diseases Ordinances.

Within the above mentioned period (1884-1885) 12,638 examinations were held in this Hospital and 427 at Wántsai; and 325 women were detained for treatment.

The majority of admissions were on account of gonorrhoea; the cases of leucorrhoea and soft sores coming next in frequency and, lastly, those of ulceration of the os uteri.

Of the true or constitutional syphilis, there have been but 2 cases recorded in this Hospital; a fact to be wondered at, ccnsidering the great movement of ships in the harbour, and, moreover, the circumstance that, with the exception of Shanghai and Japan, that very important measure of sanitary science the inspection of prostitutes, is not enforced at all in the neighbouring ports and places.

The rarity of that terrible scourge amongst the registered women in this Colony, proves, I think, that they, to a certain extent, do take some precautions, as they dread a long detention in the Hospital. It has come to my knowledge that the two women who had contracted syphilis, had infected within a few days, three men.

Of the 190 registered women against whom complaints were lodged, 57 or 30 per cent. were found to be diseased.

That in a good many cases men did not contract disease with them, will soon be apparent by a little process of reasoning.

Leaving for the present the less serious cases, such as gonorrhea, in which are included also the simple urethritis, and confining our attention only to cases reported as 'venereal sores' and 'primary syphilis,' you will perceive by referring to the Table H, that of the 45 women examined, only 14 were found diseased.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 18TH APR., 1885. 339

I do not know how many of the reported 'primary syphilis' turned out to be true constitutional fection. I have entered all such cases in the new forms of returns as soft sores, unless I had reason to judge or suspect otherwise.

We know from the well defined nomenclature in use in the Government Civil Hospital, that only one man was treated there, who had contracted syphilis in a registered brothel.

The woman who had infected the man, was detained in the Hospital, as often happened, long before the complaint was made.

The delicate constitution of some of the prostitutes renders them unfit for their miserable calling. They had to be frequently kept in Hospital, and many times were charged with having given gonorrhoea.

It would be advantageous to the women's as well as to men's health, if only robust ones were allowed to follow that course of life.

The enclosed Tables D. E. F. and G. show respectively, and more particularly, the number of women examined and treated at this Hospital, and those that were examined at Wántsai; the number of complaints against them, and the result of the examinations of the unregistered prostitutes.

As we cannot dispense altogether with the old nomenclature, the Tables A. and C. have been compiled in that form, by Mr. DE SOUZA, the Apothecary of this Hospital.

The following tabular statement indicates the number of times the same woman has been com- plained against:-

Women,

once twice

do.,

3 times

11 ""

The proportion of times the same woman has been found diseased is:-

Women, do.,

twice 3 times

11 2

5 ""

366 women were ordered to be examined more than once within a week. The percentage of diseases amongst the registered women were:-

Gonorrhea, Leucorrhoea, Soft sores,

•

...37

..29

Ulceration of the os uteri, 19

Syphilis,

....07

Of the 116 women from unlicensed brothels who were examined, 39 were detained. As would be expected from that class of women, many of them had the disease in its worst forms.

One had phagedenic sores which, more than once, caused profuse hemorrhage; she was suffering also from paraplegia. After nearly 7 months of treatment she was discharged cured.

This is the longest period a patient was detained in the Hospital last year.

Compared with the previous year, there has been an increase in the number of complaints and of women treated in this Hospital; perhaps it is due to the stricter enforcement of the Ordinance.

I have to record some changes in the staff of this Institution. The new Matron Mrs. J. ACKERS, gives entire satisfaction. She is intelligent and attentive to her duties.

Mrs. ACKERS was for 9 years nurse in one of the Hospitals in Liverpool, and has a diploma of midwifery.

By arrangement with the Honourable REGISTRAR GENERAL, Inspector EDWARDS attends every morning at this place; Inspector HORTON has been ordered to visit also the ships in the harbour; Inspector LEE continues at his old post.

No death took place in this Establishment.

There were remaining under treatment on the 31st of last month, 18 women; of whom 3 were from unlicensed brothels.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

344 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 18TH APR., 1885.

Enclosure 3.

Report of the Government Analyst..

ANALYTICAL DEPARTMENT,

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 10th January, 1885.

SIR, I have the honour to forward a report of the analytical work conducted in the temporary laboratory of this Hospital from November 1st 1883, the day on which I took charge, to November 1st 1884.

2. For the sake of convenience I have arranged the report under the several headings, Toxicolo- gical, Water, General, Remarks.

TOXICOLOGICAL.

3. There have been only four cases of death from suspected poisoning in which chemical analyses were deemed necessary by Her Majesty's Coroner.

4. In two instances a most careful search failed to reveal the presence of any poison either mineral or alkaloidal: in the third opium was detected; and in the fourth case a poison was brought to light which, so far as its chemical characteristics are concerned, is, I believe, entirely new in the experience of toxicologists.

5. The post-mortem examination in this case pointed to a neurotic poison as the cause of death and as one of the persons who was said to have been under its influence had complained of "dimness of sight," Dr. WHARRY suggested that the mydriatic largely used by the natives here and in India, viz.: Datura Alba" might have been the agent employed.

6. A direct search was therefore made for this poison and its absence having been established, an extended enquiry was instituted, which resulted in the detection of the poisonous alkaloid of "Gelsemium Elegans," of the natural order Loganiacea, in the stomach contents of the male adult and female child and also in the food, of which they were said to have partaken.

7. It is impossible for me in the present report to give full details of this investigation, but the following observations will be perhaps of service to others in China who are engaged in forensic determinations.

8. In the course of an analysis of the contents of the stomach of the male adult, an alkaloid was extracted which gave a peculiar purplish-red colour: very much like that displayed by Gelsemia, when tested with oxidizing agents. The same re-action was also observed on applying similar re-agents to the alkaloid separated from the stomach contents of the female child, and in a still more marked manner on that derived from the tea infusion seized by the Police when the case was reported.

9. At this stage of the enquiry I could find no record of a poison having the above character being used by the Chinese, and I was not aware that anything closely allied to Gelsemia-the alkaloid of "Gelsemium Nitidum," Michaux, syn. "Gelsemium Sempervirens," Aiton, could be obtained in any form from the native herbalists.

10. An examination of two reputed poisons was therefore at once undertaken from one of which, white Jasmin root, mentioned in your annual report for 1882 as being used in conjunction with the flowers and leaves of 'Datura Alba,' I failed to separate anything alkaloidal; but from the second, (one spoken of as being very deadly), an alkaloid was extracted which exhibited exactly the same colouration with similar re-agents as the substance isolated from the stomach contents, &c.

This

11. By the kindness of Dr. WHARRY I was enabled to obtain experimental evidence as to the physiological action of the drug, for a hypodermic solution of the alkaloid prepared from the root and the tea infusion caused the same poisonous symptoms when injected into some small guinea-pigs. and the identity of the chemical reactions between the alkaloid isolated from the food and stomach contents and that from the Chinese root, left no doubt but that a decoction of the drug known by the name of

Fooh-moon-keung had been either prepared with, or mixed in the tea of which the three members of the family drank on the night of the supposed murder.

12. It was only at the last moment, when the case was dismissed by the Magistrate, that I was able with the generous assistance of Mr. FORD, the Director of the Botanical Gardens, to state with certainty, from what plant this poisonous alkaloid was derived.

13. There are only three known species of the genus Gelsemium (Jussieu), one in North America. G. Sempervirens, yielding the well known eclectic remedy; another in Sumatra; and one in China. G. Elegans, Benth., now under notice. The last named grows very sparingly in Hongkong, but more abundantly on the neighbouring mainland of China.* A six hours' journey specially undertaken in December last to find specimens in flower on Chinese territory, having as guide a collector of drugs for the shops in Hongkong, only revealed however one small plant.

* Flora Hongkongensis Bentham 1861 p. 229.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 18TH APR., 1885. 345.

14. No mention is made of Gelsemium Elegans in either Hanbury's' or 'Porter Smith's' Notes on Chinese Materia Medica or in 'Gordon's Epitome of the reports of the Medical officers to the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs Service.' The plant is figured, however, on the last page of the first illustrated volume of the celebrated Chinese Herbal

Pun-tsaou-kang-muh and in another volume a full description of its properties is given. The Chinese have been aware of the poisonous action of this drug for centuries.

15. The writer of the Pun-tsaou states that it is never used internally as a medicine, although preparations of the plant are used with success as an application to boils and ulcers.

16. On the other hand, the Rev. E. FABER assures me, that in some parts of the Kwangtung province the root is secretly used by some native doctors for certain forms of disease.

17. In the following table I have stated what coloration is exhibited when manganic oxide and sulphuric acid are applied to:-

The alkaloid of Gelsemium Elegans.

A deep purplish-violet colouration changing to one of a rich purple

hue.

Gelsemia.

A damask-red colour changing to a rich green, which latter tint is more marked at the edges.

Strychnia.

A deep-violet colouration changing rapidly to purple and finally as- suming a cherry-red tint.

These colours are all evanescent, but that displayed by the first mentioned alkaloid is more lasting than the others. The above re-actions. have been observed several times in the Laboratory. The strychnia was taken from a London sample and the Gelsemia was extracted from an alcoholic extract of the root of Gelsemium Nitidum.

18. The alkaloid of Gelsemium Elegans, although coming very near, is, I am quite certain, distinct from Gelsemia. In addition to the different colours produced when in contact with oxidizing agents, some important chemical characters do not agree, a publication of which in detail is reserved for a future report.

19. The names by which Gelsemium Elegans is known in the Pun-tsaou-kang-muh, are as follows:-

II. 野葛

III. 毒根

20. The coloured plate accompanying this report is the work of a Chinese Artist in Hongkong. The plant in flower and the ripe fruit are taken from a specimen gathered on the hills overlooking the head of Mirs Bay. The root from one obtained by Mr. W. D. HUTCHISON, whose assistance in this and like investigations where intercourse with the Chinese is of service, has been most valuable. I would also express my obligations to Mr. FORD, for many details concerning the Botanical and Geographical situation of important drugs, and to the authorities at the Tung Wa Hospital for much useful informa- tion concerning their use and misuses by the Chinese.

21. It is a matter of importance that the complete analysis of this root be undertaken as soon as possible, and it is my intention to carry out this investigation as soon as the new Laboratory is completed.

22. As far as I can judge no chemical analysis has been even attempted before, and, if such a case as the one alluded to should ever go to the higher Courts, the chemist who had charge of the case in the Laboratory would naturally be examined very closely on the properties and behaviour of an alkaloid, which, in point of toxic power, is I believe quite equal to Strychnia.

23. There have been no analyses in cases of poisoning by Datura Alba last year. Two men were under treatment in the wards of the Civil Hospital suffering from mydriasis, believed to have been caused by the use of this Solanaceous plant, but the Police were unable to discover any rem- nants of the meal in which it is assumed the poison had been incorporated.

24. Bread Analysis. In October last, when the city was disturbed and rumours of bread poison- ing were afloat, at the request of the Government, analyses of the bread supplied from the principal bakeries were undertaken for the detection of poison.

25. These examinations were conducted at an early hour daily, and, in order to avoid unneces- sary alarm the subject was kept as quiet as possible. Processes were adopted which have been found to work both well and rapidly and it is gratifying to be able to report that in no instance was anything

wholesome detected.

346 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 18TH APR., 1885.

26. It is quite likely that the rumour current, had originally no reference to any actual intention on the part of the Chinese to have recourse to such diabolical means as this, in order to gain their ends, but that it alluded to the affair of the 15th January 1857, when, the city being somewhat unquiet the notorious ESING attempted to rid Hongkong of the European population by mixing 'arsenic' in the bread he supplied them. Fortunately for the Colony on that occasion the would be homicide made the happy blunder of adding too much of the poison, which induced violent vomiting on the part of his intended victims very soon after the poison had been admitted into the stomach.

27. The opportunities for detection and the chances of apprehension are far greater now than in 1857, and one can hardly imagine that the "ESING case" will be repeated; nevertheless the rumour being abroad, a safeguard was provided in causing the departments concerned to be on the alert.

WATER.

28. During the past year it was considered advisable not to attempt to carry out the monthly water analyses in full.

29. In estimating the minute quantities of ammonia, such as exist in nearly all drinking waters, and especially in the case of the Pokfúlam supply, accommodation different from that provided in this Hospital is necessary.

30. It must not be supposed that the following remarks on the quality of the waters referred to are exhaustive. In a room with limited accommodation, where urinary examinations are sometimes of daily occurrence, and where there is an absence of a good water supply suitable for the condensation, it has been found impossible to make determinations with sufficient accuracy to be available for comparison with those performed on previous occasions.

purposes of

31. The best authorities on water are agreed that it is most unsafe to give judgment on facts derived from an estimation of one or two constituents only. This remark applies particularly to waters coming from a district where the character of specimens of undoubted purity is not known or where details concerning the locality and strata through which the samples have passed are not forth- coming; but where the nature of water suitable for potable purposes is well known, then considerable value may be attached to a few qualitative and quantitative determinations.

32. The partial analysis, which it has been found practicable to make from time to time, have shown that the quality of the water emanating from the Pokfúlam reservoir continues satisfactory.

33. The same good account cannot, however, be given of the water coming from a source, the necessity of the freedom from contamination of which is scarcely second in point of importance to that of the Pokfulam supply. I refer to that furnished by the various wells which are found in immense numbers, and in close proximity to each other, all over the city.

34. The Sanitary Board were fully alive to this, and when quarantine regulations were in force, I analyzed at their request some fifty samples taken from wells situated in the most populous parts of the city.

35. The appended table shows the result of the partial analysis of these waters, sent to the Hospital for examination by the Secretary of the Sanitary Board, in September last.

36. Of the 46 wells enumerated, 15 or 32 per cent. (marked †), showed the presence of large quantities of free ammonia on the direct application of the "Nessler re-agent," and 7 or 15 per cent,, (marked *), contained 'Nitrites' in considerable amount.

37. The figures giving the amount of Chlorine, in all the waters, are very variable. Pokfúlam water and that drawn from a well on the South side of Caine Road, where the surroundings were such as would almost ensure its freedom from contamination, contained .5 and .9 grains per gallou respect- ively. Every other specimen contained a much larger quantity. There was some speculation as to the cause of the presence of 69.3 grains per gallon in the water of well No. 35. An inspection showed it to be due to the close proximity of the source of the supply to a salt store.

38. Considering the polluted condition of some of the wells, one cannot but be surprised that the figures in the columns showing the amount of Oxygen absorbed should have come out so low. Pokfulam water absorbed .0702 and that derived from a well in Wa On Lane, the quality of which may be expressed in one word 'sewage,' a similar quantity .0756. A glance, however, at the figures given in the other columns clearly shows that the organic matter in the case of the former specimen is harmless, while that of the latter is unquestionably of a dangerous character.

39. By the kindness of Mr. McCALLUM I was afforded an opportunity for observing the surroundings of several of these wells. In almost every instance, they were not such as would conduce to the maintenance of a pure and wholesome supply.

40. The public ought not to be allowed on any consideration to use for potable purposes 'sewage' such as the so-called water drawn from the wells Nos. 6, 9, 10, 15, 16, 33, &c., undoubtedly is.

41. It is also difficult to understand why so important a matter as the analysis of the well waters of the Colony is overlooked until it is feared an infectious or contagious disease may be in our midst. The better plan would be to have complete analyses of the water of typical wells from all parts of the city made during the Winter and Spring months, when the city is not threatened with cholera and when the conditions for making chemical analyses are more favourable. If this were done, the Govern ment would be able to state with certainty, on the advent of an epidemic, what wells could be used with safety.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 18TH APR., 1885. 347

42. I believe that steps have already been taken towards closing some of these bad wells, and if the samples herein enumerated are fairly representative of the quality of the water used for drinking purposes by the native and a large portion of the European population in the city of Victoria, a still larger number might be examined and condemned even before the hot season comes on this year. "A water which shows the presence of ammonia and nitrites' on the direct application of appropriate re-agents, needs no analytical process to condemn it entirely, any more than if it exhibited a distinct odour and an unpleasant taste.

GENERAL.

43. The murder at Kowloon, on April 16th, furnished material for investigation. A garment was sent by the Police with a request that the stains thereon might be examined in order to determine whether or not they were due to 'human' blood. Although very like, the stains were not due to blood but to some of the oxides of iron. The man under arrest was an Engineer and had possibly been using, when at work, some paint made of the iron pigments known in commerce as 'Indian and Venetian red.'

44. Leaving the term 'human' out of the question, for it is impossible to distinguish with certainty the blood of a human being from that of other mammals, the Inspector took a proper course in having the coat examined. In chemico-legal cases negative evidence is equally as valuable as that of a positive nature.

45. The analyses of milk which have been proceeded with, show, that the quality of that supplied to the patients in the wards of the Civil Hospital is of an unusually high standard at some periods

of the year.

The above analyses were those of milk concerning the purity of which there was no doubt.

46. The conduction of the assay of genuine specimens of this valuable article of diet from time to time, would not only furnish the necessary information for the Police Courts in Hongkong, but would be of immense value to chemists of all parts especially as since the 'Manchester case' the matter has been so prominently before the scientific world.

47. It is usually assumed that milk is very poor in the tropics, which is probably the case with samples purchased of the street vendors, but few Alderney cows, under the most favourable conditions, could furnish milk giving such good results as the specimens mentioned above. It should of course be noted that no allusion is made to the 'quantity' of milk yielded by the cows.

48. The analysis of about fifty specimens of urine and several other miscellaneous articles, some of which were specially reported on, completes the list of Laboratory work.

REMARKS.

49. It is to be hoped that during the present year a Laboratory will be provided for the services of the Government, as a large amount of important work is now remaining untouched owing to the want of suitable accommodation.

50. In certain quarters a belief is current that the detection of, say a poisonous alkaloid, in the stomach contents of a victim, is an easy matter in Eastern practice, because of the large amount of material used in cases of poisoning, whether suicidal or homicidal.

51. The following facts will tend to show that a large quantity of poison taken into the stomach does not necessarily cause death, and that if death does ensue the chances of detection (of the poison) are sometimes very remote. Last year a Chinaman had taken, with the intentions of a suicide, a quantity of opium extract considerably larger than was necessary to cause death and in a short time he vomited freely, which was not only the means of the affair being brought to the notice of the Police, but also of saving his life. Twelve hours after the dose was taken, the man was sitting up in bed and answered in an intelligent manner the questions put to him. Again, the largeness of the dose in the 'ESING case' above alluded to was the means of saving the lives of the whole European commu- nity in 1857. Once more, the circumstances attending the death of the adult female found dead at the peak, (one of the two cases alluded to in Paragraph 4.), pointed to the action of some poison or other, but nearly the whole of the fluid portion of the contents of the stomach was lost, the vomit having been thrown on the floor. In an instance such as the last it may be urged that, although the vomit was lost and the stomach failed to give sufficient material for investigation, yet that a trace of the poison might be found in some other organs, such as the liver, kidneys, contents of bladder, upper and lower intestines, &c. This is a favourite argument in a Coroner's Court. Of course it can, if' the nature of the poison used has been ascertained outside the Laboratory, either in the post-mortem room or elsewhere. But in the East, there is an entire absence of by-evidence in such cases as these. In the LAMSON case, one which was admitted on all hands to be shrouded with difficulties, it was known beforehand what substance of a poisonous nature,—and which was ultimately proved to have caused death, the criminal had purchased. The Sale of Poisons Act was specially framed to act as a safeguard in such instances.

348 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 18TH APR., 1885.

52. In Hongkong, every thing is different. There is no series of well kept registers the Police can search through when a case involved in mystery is on hand, and in all those which I have had the honour of investigating, the Coroner's requisition has given no clue as to what probably caused death. In the Gelsemium poisoning case above referred to, a clue was certainly provided, but a wrong scent is worse than none at all; so much material is absorbed which cannot as a rule be utilized in succeeding researches.

53. All these facts tend to show that it is only right that every facility in the shape of laboratory conveniences should be provided in order to occasion a successful issue in these forensic investigations. There ought to be no half measures in cases where the life of a low creature is at stake.

Pharmaceutical Laboratory

54. It is I believe the intention of the Government to construct a in order that as many preparations as possible for the Medical Department may connfactr crude materials on the spot. Some galenicals, although made with the greatest care at home, are so much changed by the time the "ach the Colony, that it is difficult sometimes to recognize them. The advantages therefore of this step will be two-fold. First, there will be in course of time a considerable reduction effected of the amount provided in the Estimates for medicines; and secondly, the quality of the preparations for the different Hospitals will be superior to those obtained in the usual way, through the Crown Agents.

I have the honour to be,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH APRIL, 1885.

PAPERS.-The Colonial Secretary, by direction of Ilis Excellency the Governor, laid on the table the following papers :-

(1.) The Colonial Surgeon's Report for 1884.

(2.) Despatches respecting the proposed Incorporation of the Vicar Apostolic of the Roman

Catholic Church in Hongkong.

QUESTION.-The Honourable P. RYRIE, pursuant to notice, asked, with reference to the resolution passed at the Meeting of Council on 1st April, what replies, if any, have been received from the Home Government?

His Excellency the Governor addressed the Council as follows:-

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,-As I have already intimated to my Honourable Friend, I have not as yet received the reply of the Imperial Authorities with reference to the subjects of the Resolution passed by this Council on the 1st April. The Council may rest assured that I will always communicate to them forthwith every decision of the Imperial Government affecting the interests of this Colony. I am glad, however, that the Honourable Gentleman has asked this question, for it gives me an opportunity of laying before Fou a further official statement on the matters to which it refers. As you, Honourable Gentlemen, are already aware, a paternal Governor had anticipated your wishes in the matters referred to in the Resolution of the 1st April, as also with regard to the fortification of Hong- kong generally; and what has been done already, and is now doing for our Defences, is mainly due (as there is abundant documentary evidence to prove), to my constant and urgent representations during the two years of my administration here, both in official despatches, and in private letters to my personal friends among English Statesmen and among the chief Military Authorities in England. It was very satisfactory to me to observe that all the speakers at the recent discussion in this Council fully recognised my foresight, energy, and perseverance in promoting the true interests of this Colony in these and in all other matters; and to hear the Honourable Gentleman who represents the Chamber of Commerce declare that "a time "of emergency has now arisen, and it is in times of emergency that we should all act together

and rally round the Governor for the common good."

It will be recollected that I expressed a hope that the Resolution of the 1st April would be passed unanimously, because it would add force to the representations which I had already made to the Imperial Authorities on the subjects of which it treated. Accordingly, on the 2nd April, I telegraphed to the Secretary of State that the Legislative Council, as well as the Admiral and General Commanding Her Majesty's Forces on this Station, concurred with me on the points in question. As I said just now, I have not as yet received any reply to my telegram of the 2nd instant. I must here remark that if Honourable Gentlemen knew, as well as I do, through my experience as Governor for above a quarter of a century, the length of time required for official correspondence between the different departments of the Imperial Administration, they would not be so sanguine in the expectation of speedy answers in matters of this nature. From the official papers which I laid before you a fortnight ago (No. 14), you will have perceived that it required nineteen days to receive a reply on the much simpler matter of the calibre of the Ordnance to be mounted on the new Forts. Now the questions treated of in the Resolution of the 1st April, viz.: (1) the provision of direct telegraphic communication between Hongkong and Singapore, and (2) the provision of "a Flotilla of Torpedo-boats, fully equipped,"-would require an exchange of official correspond- ence between the Colonial Office, the War Office, the Admiralty, the Directors of the Tele- graph Company, and, above all, the Imperial Treasury, the approval of which is necessary for the expenditure of public money in each and all of the public Departments. However, I yes- terday telegraphed once more, urging an early reply showing the decision of Her Majesty's Government concerning direct telegraphic communication, and a further supply of Torpedo- boats; and also asking when the heavy Ordnance for the new Forts may be expected to arrive. I will now make some further observations on each of the two matters treated of in the Resolution:-

(1.) With regard to the proposed Telegraph to Singapore, I have been in correspondence respecting it with the Manager, and find that the Eastern Extension Company would require a guarantee of £20,000 a year, for twenty years, before undertaking to lay a direct cable. You already know that the Executive Council of Hongkong, while agreeing with me and with this Council as to the importance of a direct cable, has advised that, especially in the present condition of our revenue, this Colony is wholly unable to offer any substantial aid to this project. I have already stated, moreover, that the Acting Governor of the Straits Settlements has informed me that the view of his Government is similar, and that it would not be prepared to give material assistance. It remains to be seen what will be the decision of the Imperial Government on my strong representations, afterwards supported by this Council.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH APRIL, 1885.

353

(2.) I now come to the second proposal, which I, and most others who have given thought and attention to the matter, consider to be more likely to prove feasible, viz., the provision of a Flotilla of eight Torpedo-boats, which the Naval Authorities consider to be amply sufficient. As I have already informed you, Admiral Sir W. DOWELL has left the four Torpedo-boats now on this station to strengthen the Naval defence of our harbour. I have, as you know, asked that four more Torpedo-boats may be sent out; but, though I have not as yet received the decision of the Imperial Government, I learn from other sources that it is very improbable that any more Torpedo-boats can be spared for this Colony, while many of the chief ports of the United Kingdom, and of the other Colonies, remain wholly unprotected; and that, at all events, no more boats of this kind could reach us for many months to come. I am strongly of opinion that we should prefer to look to our own resources on the spot, which (as I am assured), could be made available in a few weeks, and at a very small cost. I have ascertained that two of the Steam-launches belonging to the Civil Government, and two of the Steam-launches belonging to the Military Departments, could be easily and speedily fitted for Spar and Whitehead Torpedoes. I have been in corres- pondence on this head with Commodore MORANT, who has written to me as follows:-"I "have the honour to inform your Excellency that these fittings could be made and fitted to "the launches in question at a cost of about fifty-five pounds (£55) each; and that there "are in store torpedoes which, with the Commander-in-Chief (Admiral DowELL's) sanction, "could be supplied, should your Excellency determine to have these boats so fitted."

I have already informed Commander RUMSEY, R.N., the Commandant of our Auxiliary Flotilla, that two of our steam-launches will be used for Torpedoes, so soon as the crews are sufficiently drilled; and I have assured the Military Authorities that the Colonial Govern- ment will be ready to pay also for the fittings of their two launches. It will thus be seen that a valuable addition to the Torpedo Flotilla can be secured at a cost to this Colony of about £250.

In conclusion, I would repeat that, on the completion of the works now in hand, and with the great "defensive power" in Ships, Torpedoes, and Submarine Mines, permanently attached to the harbour, one of the highest Official Military Authorities in England has. recently assured me that "you (at Hongkong) should laugh to scorn the possible attacks of all the ships now in the China Seas." One word more, and I have done. I am confident that I interpret rightly the mind of every member of this Council when I say that nothing can be further from your wish and intention than to countenance any feeling of panic at the present moment. I believe that, like myself, you simply desire to see this first-class Naval and Military Station and great Mart of Commerce, placed, once for all, in a condition of practical and permanent security;-and that on the principle of the old Roman Maxim, Si vis pacem, para bellum.

The following Bill, which was read a first time at a Meeting of the Legislative Council held this day, is published for general information.

Council Chamber, Hongkong, 22nd April, 1885.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance for the prevention of abuses connected with Child Adoption and Domestic Service.

HEREAS it is expedient to make further provision for the prevention of adopted female children and female servants from being brought up in the Colony for the purpose of prostitution: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. It shall be lawful for the Registrar General, as Pro- tector of Chinese, to summon before him any person whom he reasonably suspects of having in his custody any adopted daughter, or female servant, between the age of six and sixteen inclusive, with the view of disposing of her as a prostitute; and it shall also be lawful for the Registrar General, in his discretion and after due inquiry, to call on any such

person who has the custody of any such female child to give reasonable security that such child shall not be sold, pawned, or otherwise disposed of for any immoral purpose, and that the absence of such child from the Colony shall be duly accounted for.

2. For the better carrying out of the preceding section, it shall be lawful for the Registrar General to require the production before him of any female child under adoption or domestic service; and also to summon any person who can give information as to the treatment of such child by her adopted parents or master, under a penalty not exceed- ing two hundred dollars.

3. It shall be lawful for the Registrar General, in the interests of any female child, to make a written application to a Judge in Chambers for a writ of Habeas Corpus, with the view of taking away such female child from any person who has no legal claim to her custody, and whose retention of her is prejudicial to the child's interest and liberty.

4. It shall be lawful for any person considering himself aggrieved or affected by any action of the Registrar General under this Ordinance to appeal in a summary way to a Judge in Chambers against any decision which the Regis- trar General may give under this Ordinance; and the Judge may confirm the decision of the Registrar General, or may order in writing the same to be annulled.

5. This Ordinance shall come into operation on a day to be hereafter proclaimed by the Governor.

ARATHOON SETH, Clerk of Councils.

The following Findings of the Marine Court, held on the 22nd instant, to enquire into the misconduct of two of the Engineers of the British S.S. De Bay, are published for general information. By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 25th April, 1885.

FINDING.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

The Court is of opinion that the Chief Engineer of the De Bay, Official No. 82,900, (WILLIAM COWENS) while holding a position of responsibility and trust, committed a grave offence in being drunk when the ship was in Pilotage waters.

Sentence.

That the Certificate of Competency of WILLIAM Cowens, (No. 10,495, of North Shields), be suspended for a period of six months, from this date.

Given under our hands at Victoria, Hongkong, this 22nd day of April, 1885.

R. MURRAY RUMSEY, Ret. Com., R.N., Acting Marine

Magistrate, and President of Court.

GEORGE S. KEIGWIN, Navigating Lieutenant, R.N. A. TAYLOR, Master of the British S.S. "Glengarry." J. NEWTON, Master of the British S.S. "Danube.'

FINDING.

The Court is of opinion that the charge of refusal of duty against the Second Engineer (HENRY CRAVEN) is established, but, taking into consideration that it was done while under considerable excitement caused by either a real or imaginary wrong, and seeing that he endeavoured to atone for the offence by offering to return to duty, they are inclined to take a more lenient view of the case than they otherwise would have done.

Sentence.

That the Certificate of Competency of HENRY CRAVEN, (No. 17,536, of London), be suspended for a period of three months, from this date.

The Court desires to express its opinion that at the time of the occurrence the discipline of the British Steam-ship De Bay appears to have been in a somewhat lax state.

Given under our hands at Victoria, Hongkong, this 22nd day of April, 1885.

R. MURRAY RUMSEY, Ret. Com., R.N., Acting Marine

Magistrate, and President of Court. GEORGE S. KEIGWIN, Navigating Lieutenant, R.N. A. TAYLOR, Master of the British S.S. "Glengarry." J. NEWTON, Master of the British S.S. “Danube.'

These words were scarcely spoken before that signal was made which will be remembered as long as the language, or even the memory of England, shall endure-NELSON's last signal! "England expects every man to do his duty." It was received throughout the fleet with a shout of answering acclamation, made sublime by the spirit which it breathed and the feeling which it expressed. "Now," said Lord NELSON, "I can do no more. We must trust to the Great Disposer of all events, and the justice of our cause. I thank God for this great opportunity of doing my duty."

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. The lower animals are all polyartists, amongst whom there degrees of skill; and

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 25th April, 1885.

No. 27.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

HARBOUR DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 21st January, 1885.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward the Annual Returns of this Department for the year ending the 31st December, 1884.

4. The European sailing trade shews a continued decrease; but the trade in steam-ships has increased by 43,665 tons, although the number of vessels is 36 less than in 1883. The most serious falling off is due to the trade in Junks. This trade in the years 1880 and 1881 was steady, it had a sudden increase in 1882 and a slight increase in 1883. The trade is now about what it was in 1880

and 1881.

5. The trade to Great Britain shews an increase both by British and Foreign ships. That with Japan shews an increase under the British flag, but a falling off in ships under Foreign flags. The most serious decrease is, as before stated, due to the depression of the Junk trade. For, although there is an increase of 52,589 tons to the Coast of China and Formosa in British bottoms, there is a falling off of 214.187 tons in vessels carrying Foreign flags. The depression in the Junk trade is probably due to the difficulties existing between France and China. There is also a decrease of trade in British and Foreign bottoms amounting to 45,940 tons with Cochin-China, but a slight increase in British vessels with the Ports in Hainan and Gulf of Tonquin,

366 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF

R., 1885.

6. There is increase of vessels under e british, German, and United States' flags. The latter is due a local American firm purchasing a number of European built vessels from a Chinese Company There is consequently a falling off of this class of vessel under the Chinese flag, in fact, although the return shows the arrival of 33 vessels during e year, the Chin... the year ceased to be seen in these waters.

EMIGRATION.

7. 6,191 fewer emigrants left here in 1884 than in the previous year, the requirements of the Straits Settlements and Malay States not being so great as in 1883.

REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.

8. Thirteen vessels were registered, and seven vessels withdrawn from the Registry of this Port during the year.

MARINE MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

9. Seventy-eight cases were tried during the year; refusal of duty, assault, and drunkenness on board ship being the chief offences.

EXAMINATIONS FOR THE POSTS OF MASTERS, MATES AND ENGINEERS, UNDER SECTION 15 OF ORDINANCE 8 OF 1879.

10. The following list will show the number of Candidates who passed, and of those who failed in obtaining Certificates of Competency.

11. An Order in Council issued under the provisions of 32 and 33 Vict. Chap. 63, Section 10 came into force in this Colony on the 1st January 1884, making Certificates of Competency issued here equal to those issued in Great Britain, and the Colonies coming within the provisions of the same Imperial Act.

MARINE COURTS, UNDER SECTION 13 OF ORDINANCE 8 OF 1879.

12. The following Courts have been held during the year :-

1. On the 19th March, 1884,-Inquiry as to the explosion of the starboard boiler and the total destruction of the British Steam-ship Yot-Sai, Official No. 73,450 of Hongkong, while on a voyage from Hongkong to Macao, on the 24th February, 1884. The Master's (JOHN PARKINSON HOYLAND) Certificate of Competency was returned to him.

2. On the 15th July, 1884,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Marlborough, Official No. 76,985 of Singapore, on a reef off Hainan Head (North extreme of the Island of Hainan) on the 12th June 1884. The Master's (MAX. KUNATH) Certificate of Competency was suspended for one year. M. KUNATH feeling dissatisfied with the result of the inquiry, the case was re-heard on the 27th August, and the Court reduced the suspension of the Certificate from twelve months to one of six months from the date of the last enquiry.

SEAMEN.

13. 9,253 Seamen of all Nationalities were shipped, and 10,153 were discharged in the year 1884. The excess of men discharged over men shipped is caused by some of the former being sent to England and Australia as distressed seamen, and others leaving the Colony without notifying their departure.

DICTIONARY,

at $2.50 each.

NORONHA & Co. Hongkong, 31st Decen:ber, 1881.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of | China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Raulicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

DEFENCES OF THE COLONY.-His Excellency the Governor addressed the Council as follows:-

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,-Before proceeding to the order of the day, I desire to inform you that I have now received from the Secretary of State a reply to my telegrams respecting the subject of the resolution adopted by this Council on the 1st April in favour of a direct telegraphic cable between Hongkong and Singapore and the provision of a flotilla of torpedo-boats for this harbour. No reference is made to the question of a direct telegraph, which, it is to be presumed, is still under the consideration of Her Majesty's Government. With regard to the torpedoes, Lord DERBY's telegram is to the following effect:-

The Admiralty cannot promise more torpedo-boats; but, after consulting with the Naval Commander-in- Chief, they are satisfied that the Colony under your Government is quite safe in the event of apprehended war. And they are thoroughly aware of what is necessary for the defence of the Colony.

Minutes read and confirmed.

DEFENCES OF THE COLONY.-His Excellency the Governor addressed the Council as follows:-

404

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH MAY, 1885.

I stated to the Council, on the 15th April, that I had learned from other sources that it was very improbable that any torpedo-boats, beyond the four already here, could be spared for this Colony at the present crisis. I added that, in my opinion, we should prefer to look to our own resources on the spot, which can be made available in a very short time and at a very small cost. Directions have already been given that four of the steamn-launches belonging to the Imperial and Colonial Governments shall be fitted forthwith for tor- pedoes, thus making à flotilla of eight torpedo-boats, which, as you are already aware, the Naval Authorities consider amply sufficient. I had also telegraphed asking when the heavy guns for the new forts may be expected to arrive. On this point the telegram is to this

effect:-

The new heavy guns will be sent as soon as practicable, though there will be some delay, owing to an alteration in the design of the gun-carriages. The rest of the heavy guns will be sent out sooner.

I am informed by a high military authority here that the words in the telegram "an alter- ation in the design of the gun-carriages," probably refer to the substitution of what are called disappearing carriages," which are considered necessary for the protection of the artillery- men while reloading.

PAPERS.-The Colonial Secretary, by direction of His Excellency the Governor, laid on the table the following papers:-

(1.) Correspondence respecting the Armaments of the Forts at Hongkong, (in continuation

of No. 14), (No. 14B.).

(4.) Report on the Accounts of Receipts and Expenditure for the Year 1884, by the Colonial

Secretary and Auditor General. (No. 23).

The Colonial Secretary moved that these Minutes be referred to the Finance Committee.

The Colonial Treasurer seconded.

Question-put and passed.

QUESTION.-The Honourable T. JACKSON, by permission, asked whether there is any objection state the grounds on which the prisoner LEE-LUM KWAI has been released from custody.

;

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH MAY, 1885.

The Colonial Secretary replied as follows:-

405

In reply to the question of my IIonourable friend, I am directed by the Governor to state that the facts of the case to which he refers are very simple. LEE LUM KWAI was released from custody on the recommendation of the Acting Superintendent of the Gaol, of the Colonial Surgeon, and of the English and Roman Catholic Chaplains, on the ground of his good conduct during his imprisonment, and of his bad health, said by the Colonial Surgeon to endanger his life. Dr. AYRES also certified that an amelioration of his sentence had been promised by the late Governor.

Dr. AYRES further stated that "the petitioner has been of the greatest service to the Medical Department of the Gaol as interpreter and attendant; and his conduct has been very good."

•

Both the Chaplains strongly supported the prayer of the petition, as did the Acting Superintendent, who added as follows:-

"From enquiries made I find that five (5) prisoners who had received death sentences, afterwards commuted to penal servitude for life, were released after three (3) years' imprison- ment; and that three (3) prisoners, who had been sentenced to penal servitude for life, were released after terms of imprisonment not exceeding six (6) years."

་

LEE LUM KWAI was sentenced to penal servitude for life in 1874, and has been in Gaol for eleven (11) years. Now it is the practice in many other Colonies to consider that fifteen (15) years' imprisonment is equivalent to a life sentence, especially in cases where the health of the prisoner has been seriously affected; and that good conduct in Gaol should procure a remission of one-third of that period. On this system, LEE LUM KWAI would, under ordinary circumstances, have been released a year ago.

However, looking to the peculiar circumstances of this case, it has been determined to banish LEE LUM KWAI from the Colony, on a report from the Captain Superintendent of Police to the effect that he is a person dangerous to the peace and good order of the Colony.

PETITION RESPECTING THE CHINESE FOOT-Measure known as the Kau-ng Chek.—The Honour- de WONG SHING, pursuant to notice, moved that the Petition of Ko LUNG-TAI, WO LUN and others read, in order to obtain the opinion of the Council in the matter of the Custom House Standard hek.

The Honourable W. KESWICK seconded.

The Colonial Treasurer, seconded by the Registrar General, moved, as an Amendment, that the tition do lie on the table, and addressed the Council at length on the subject.

drawn or the place where it is payable.

4. (1.) An inland bili is a bill which is or on the face of it purports to be (a) both drawn and payable within this Colony, or (b) drawn within this Colony, upon some person resident therein. Any other bill is a foreign bill.

(2.) Unless the contrary appear on the face of the bill the holder may treat it as an inland bill.

5. (1.) A bill may be drawn payable to, or to the order of, the drawer; or it may be; drawn payable to, or to the order of, the drawee.

(2.) Where in a bill, drawer and drawee are the same person, or where the drawee is a fictitious person or a person not having capacity to contract, the holder may treat the instrument, at his option, either as a bill of exchange or as a promissory note:

6. (1.) The drawee must be named or otherwise indi- catcu in a bill with reasonable certainty.

(2.) A bill may be addressed to two or more drawees whether they are partners or not, but an order addressed to two drawees in the alternative or to two or more drawees in succession is not a bill of exchange.

7. (1.) Where a bill is not payable to bearer, the

payee must be named or otherwise indicated therein with reason- able certainty.

8. (1.) When a bill contains words prohibiting transfer, or indicating an intention that it should not be transferable, it is valid as between the parties thereto, but is not nego- tiable.

(d.) According to an indicated rate of exchange or according to a rate of exchange to be ascer- tained as directed by the bill.

(3.) Where a bill is expressed to be payable with interest, unless the instrument otherwise provides, interest runs from the date of the bill, and if the bill is undated from the issue thereof.

10. (1.) A bill is payable on demand-

(a.) Which is expressed to be payable on demand, or

(1.) At a fixed period after date or sight.

(2.) On or at a fixed period after the occurrence of a specified event which is certain to happen,

though the time of happening may be nucer-

tain.

An instrument expressed to be payable on a contingency is not a bill, and the happening of the event does not cure the defect.

Provided that (1) where the holder in good faith and by inistake inserts a wrong date, and (2) in every case where a wrong date is inserted, if the bill subsequently comes into the hands of a holder in due course the bill shall not be avoided thereby, but shall operate and be payable as if the date so inserted had been the true date.

(2.) A bill is not invalid by reason only that it is ante- dated or post-dated, or that it bears date on a Sunday.

14. Where a bill is not payable on demand the day on which it falls due is determined as follows:-

(1.) Three days, called days of grace, are, in every case where the bill itself does not otherwise provide, added to the time of payment as fixed by the bill, and the bill is due and payable on the last day of grace: Provided that—

(2.) Where a bill is payable at a fixed period after date, after sight, or after the happening of a specified event, the time of payment is determined by excluding the day from which the time is to begin to run and by including the day of payment.

(4.) The term "month" in a bill means calendar month. 15. The drawer of a bill and any indorser may

insert therein the name of a person to whom the holder may resort in case of need, that is to say, in case the bill is dishonoured by non-acceptance or non-payment. Such person is called the referee in case of neod. It is in the option of the holder to resort to the referce in case of need or not as he may think fit.

16. The drawer of a bill, and any therein an express stipulation-

indorser, may insert

(1.) Negativing or limiting his own liability to the holder: (2.) Waiving as regards himself some or all of the holder's duties.

Time for acceptsuce

General and qualified acceptances.

Inchoate instruments.

Delivery.

Capacity of parties.

18. A bill may be accepted.

(1.) Before it has been signed by the drawer, or while otherwise incomplete:

(2.) When it is overdue, or after it has been dishonoured by a previous refusal to accept, or by non-payment:

19. (1.) An acceptance is either (a) general or (b) qualified.

(2.) A general acceptance assents without qualification to the order of the drawer. A qualified acceptance in express terms varies the effect of the bill as drawn.

In particular an acceptance is qualified which is

(a.) Conditional, that is to say, which makes payment by the acceptor dependent on the fulfilment of a condition therein stated:

(b.) Partial, that is to say, an acceptance to pay part only of the amount for which the bill is drawn: (c.) Local, that is to say, an acceptance to pay only at

a particular specified place :

An acceptance to pay at a particular place is a general acceptance, unless it expressly states that the bill is to be paid there only and not elsewhere:

(d.) Qualified as to time:

(e.) The acceptance of some one or more of the drawees,

but not of all.

20. (1.) Where a simple signature on a blank stamped paper is delivered by the signer in order that it may

be converted into a bill, it operates as a primâ facie authority to fill it up as a complete bill for any amount the stamp will cover, using the signature for that of the drawer, or the acceptor, or an indorser; and, in like manner, wherr a bill is wanting in any material particular, the person in possession of it has a primâ facie authority to fill up the omission in any way he thinks fit.

(2.) In order that any such instrument when completed may be enforceable against any person who became a party thereto prior to its completion, it must be filled up within a reasonable time, and strictly in accordance with the authority given. Reasonable time for this purpose is a question of fact.

21. (1.) Every contract on a bill, whether it be the drawer's, the acceptor's, or an indorser's, is incomplete and revocable, until delivery of the instrument in order to give effect thereto.

Provided that where an acceptance is written on a bill, and the drawee gives notice to or according to the directions of the person entitled to the bill that he has accepted it, the, acceptance then becomes complete and irrevocable.

(2.) As between immediate parties, and as regards a remote party other than a holder in due course, the deli- very-

(a.) In order to be effectual must be made either by or under the authority of the party drawing, accepting, or indorsing, as the case may be: (b.) May be shown to have been conditional or for a special purpose only, and not for the purpose of transferring the property in the bill. But if the bill be in the hands of a holder in due course a valid delivery of the bill by all parties prior to him so as to make them liable to him is conclusively presumed.

(3.) Where a bill is no longer in the possession of a party who has signed it as drawer, acceptor, or indorser, a valid and unconditional delivery by him is presumed until the contrary is proved.

Capacity and Authority of Parties.

22. (1.) Capacity to incur liability as a party to a bill is co-extensive with capacity to contract.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH MAY, 1885.

23. No person is liable as drawer, indorser, or acceptor of a bill who has not signed it as such: Provided that

(1.) Where a person signs a bill in a trade or assumed name, he is liable thereon as if he had signed it in his own

name:

(2.) The signature of the name of a firm is equivalent to the signature by the person so signing of the names of all persons liable as partners in that firm.

24. Subject to the provisions of this Ordinance, where a signature on a bill is forged or placed thereon without the authority of the person whose signature it purports to be, the forged or unauthorised signature is wholly inoperative, and no right to retain the bill or to give a discharge therefor or to enforce payment thereof against any party thereto can be acquired through or under that signature, unless the party against whom it is sought to retain or enforce payment of the bill is precluded from setting up the forgery or want of authority.

Provided that nothing in this section shall affect the ratification of an unauthorised signature not amounting to a forgery.

26. (1.) Where a person signs a bill as drawer, indorser, or acceptor, and adds words to his signature, indicating that he signs for or on behalf of a principal, or in a representative character, he is not personally liable thereon; but the mere addition to his signature of words describing him as an agent, or as filling a representative character, does not exempt him from personal liability.

The Consideration for a Bill.

27. (1.) Valuable consideration for a bill may be consti- tuted by,-

(a.) Any consideration sufficient to support a simple

contract;

(b.) An antecedent debt or liability. Such a debt or liability is deemed valuable consideration whether the bill is payable on demand or at a future time.

(2.) Where value has at any time been given for a bill the holder is deemed to be a holder for value as regards the acceptor and all parties to the bill who became parties prior to such time.

(3.) Where the holder of a bill has a lien on it, arising either from contract or by implication of law, he is deemed to be a holder for value to the extent of the sum for which he has a lieu.

28. (1.) An accommodation party to a bill is a person who has signed a bill as drawer, acceptor, or indorser, without receiving value therefor, and for the purpose of lending his name to some other person.

(2.) An accommodation party is liable on the bill to a holder for value; and it is immaterial whether, when such holder took the bill, he knew such party to be an accommo- dation party or not.

29, (1.) A holder in due course is a holder who has taken a bill, complete and regular on the face of it, under the following conditions; namely,

(a.). That he became the holder of it before it was overdue, and without notice that it had been previously dishonoured, if such was the fact: (b.) That he took the bill in good faith and for value, and that at the time the bill was negotiated to him he had no notice of any defect in the title of the person who negotiated it,

Signature essential to liability.

Forged or unauthorised signature.

Procuration signatures.

Person signing as agent or in representative capacity.

Value and holder for value.

Accommoda-

tion bill or party.

Holder in due

course.

Requisites of a valid indorsement.

Indorsement

(2.) In particular the title of a person who negotiates a bill is defective within the meaning of this Ordinance when he obtained the bill, or the acceptance thereof, by fraud, duress, or force and fear, or other unlawful means, or for an illegal consideration, or when he negotiates it in breach of faith, or under such circumstances as amount to a frand.

(3.) A holder (whether for value or not), who derives his title to a bill through a holder in due course, and who is not himself a party to any fraud or illegality affecting it, has all the rights of that holder in due course as regards the acceptor and all parties to the bill prior to that holder.

30. (1.) Every party whose signature appears on a bill is primâ facie deemed to have become a party thereto for value.

(2.) Every holder of a bill is primâ facie deemed to be a holder in due course; but if in an action on a bill it is. admitted or proved that the acceptance, issue, or subse- quent negotiation of the bill is affected with fraud, duress, or force and fear, or illegality, the burden of proof is shifted, unless and until the holder proves that, subsequent to the alleged fraud or illegality, value has in good faith been. given for the bill.

Negotiation of Bills.

31. (1.) A bill is negotiated when it is transferred from one person to another in such a manner as to constitute the transferee the holder of the bill.

(2.) A bill payable to bearer is negotiated by delivery. (3.) A bill payable to order is negotiated by the indorse- ment of the holder completed by delivery.

(5.) Where any person is under obligation to indorse a bill in a representative capacity, he may indorse the bill in such terms as to negative personal liability.

32. An indorsement in order to operate as a negotiation must comply with the following conditions, namely :—

(1.) It must be written on the bill itself and be signed by the indorser. The simple signature of the indorser on the bill, without additional words, is sufficient.

(C copy

An indorsement written on an allonge, or on a of a bill issued or negotiated in a country where “ copies " are recognised, is deemed to be written on the bill itself.

79. (1.) Where a cheque is crossed specially to more than one banker except when crossed to an agent for col- lection being a banker, the banker on whom it is drawn shall refuse payment thereof.

Provided that where a cheque is presented for payment which does not at the time of presentment appear to be crossed, or to have had a crossing which has been obliter- ated, or to have been added to or altered otherwise than as authorised by this Ordinance, the banker paying the cheque in good faith and without negligence shall not be responsible or cur any liability, nor shall the payment be questioned by reason of the cheque having been crossed, or of the crossing having been obliterated or having been added to or altered otherwise than as authorised by this Ordinance, and of payment having been made otherwise than to a banker or to the banker to whom the cheque is or was crossed, or to his agent for collection being a banker, as the case may be.

(2.) An instrument in the form of a note payable to maker's order is not a note within the meaning of this sec- tion unless and until it is indorsed by the maker.

(3.) A note is not invalid by reason only that it contains also a pledge of collateral security with authority to sell or dispose thereof.

(4.) A note which is, or on the face of it purports to be, both made and payable within this Colony is an inland note. Any other note is a foreign note.

84. A promissory note is inchoate and incomplete until delivery thereof to the payee or bearer.

85. (1.) A promissory note may be made by two or more makers, and they may be liable thereon jointly, or jointly and severally according to its tenour.

(2.) Where a note runs "I promise to pay " and is signed by two or more persons it is deemed to be their joint and several note,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH MAY, 1885.

86. (1.) Where a note payable on demand has been in- dorsed, it must be presented for payment within a reason- able time of the indorsement. If it be not so presented the indorser is discharged.

(2.) In determining what is a reasonable time, regard shall be had to the nature of the instrument, the usage of trade, and the facts of the particular case.

87. (1.) Where a promissory note is in the body of it made payable at a particular place, it must be presented for payment at that place in order to render the maker liable. In

any other case, presentment for payment is not necessary in order to render the maker liable.

(2.) Presentment for payment is necessary in order to render the indorser of a note liable.

(3.) Where a note is in the body of it made payable at a particular place, presentment at that place is necessary in order to render an indorser liable; but when a place of pay- ment is indicated by way of memorandum only, presentment at that place is sufficient to render the indorser liable, but a presentment to the maker elsewhere, if sufficient in other respects, shall also suffice.

88. The maker of a promissory note by making it-

(1.) Engages that he will pay it according to its te-

nour;

(2.) Is precluded from denying to a holder in due course the existence of the payee and his theu capacity to indorse.

(3.) The following provisions as to bills do not apply to notes; namely, provisions relating to-

BAY OF BENGAL BRITISH BURMA-COAST OF ARAKAN. Light-house on Oyster Island at the entrance to the Port of Akyab.

A light-house has been constructed of wood and erected on the centre of Oyster island in latitude 20° 12′ N., longitude 33 E.

This island is very low and of small area, with a little jungle grass growing on its summit, and is visible five to six

Its position is 10 to 11 miles off shore and is surrounded with danger, especially off its S.E. end, where shoal water ds for a distance of some three miles. It lies 8 miles N.W. N. magnetic from the Oyster reef, on which the late -house stood before it was washed away in the cyclone of May, 1884 (vide Notification dated the 23rd May, 1881). Oyster Island light-house is 75 feet above high-water level; a fixed dioptric white light of the fifth order is shown

its top, which is visible in clear weather from a height of 20 feet about 10 miles distant.

Vessels approaching from the south and westward should not come under 15 fathoms water; and great care and atten- must be observed when making the light in thick, heavy weather owing to the weak order of the light shown, which efully borne in mind, also the great danger of Oyster reef. Masters of vessels should, therefore, make certain of position before standing in towards the island and then, with the lead going, not shoal into less than 20 fathoms of

less the light or light-house is sighted.

A bine light is exhibited every half-hour from 7 P.M. to 5 A.M. from a staging 24 feet above high-water mark. Natives

ar in charge, so the exact time must not be depended upon.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

DIRECT TELEGRAPH LINE TO SINGAPORE.-His Excellency the Governor addressed the Council

as follows:-

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,-Before proceeding to the order of the day I desire to inform you that I have now received a reply to my telegrams respecting that part of your resolution of the 1st April ultimo which advocated a direct telegraphic cable between Hongkong and Singapore.

Hongkong and Singapore. Lord DERBY'S telegram states as

follows:-

“Her Majesty's Government consider that there would be no advantage gained by a direct submarine cablu, in the present emergency, commensurate with the heavy expenditure of the annual payment required.” However, I have submitted for favourable consideration a suggestion on this subject by a high military authority, which, if feasible, and if approved, would secure the desired object at a comparatively small cost.

SIR-My very best thanks are due to your Excellency and the Colonial Authorities for the support afforded me on all sides in carrying out at Kowloon on the 14th instant the practice Field Firing which is, perhaps, the most important of all exercises in our Military training.

I am aware of the many difficulties in setting aside and clearing for the occasion so large an at of country with the many habitations on it, and I cannot express too strongly my indebtedness Civil Authorities without whose cordial assistance it would have been quite impossible to have the field firing.

little inconvenience as possible to the public.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

In the China Sea the earliest signs of a typhoon are clouds of the cirrus type looking like fine ir. feathers or small white tufts of wool travelling from East or North, a slight rise in the barometer, ar and dry but hot weather and light winds.

These signs are followed by a falling barometer, while the temperature rises still further. The r becomes oppressive from increasing dampness and the sky presents a threatening and vaporous earance.-A swell in the sea and also phosphorescence of the water as well as glorious sunsets are her signs useful to the mariner, who is acquainted with the usual conditions in the locality.

If the typhoon is approaching, the sky becomes overcast, the temperature in consequence decreases, dampness increases and the barometer falls more rapidly, while the wind increases in force. Nearer e centre the wind blows so that no canvas can withstand it, and the rain pours down in torrents, there is no thunder and lightning. Still nearer the centre there is less wind and rain and the sky partly clear, but the sea is tremendous. This is therefore the most dangerous portion.

The whereabout of the centre of a typhoon may, in the China Sea, be ascertained by the rule:- and with your back to the wind, and you will have the centre on your left side, but between two and r points in front of your left hand. There are however certain exceptions to this rule. Thus there en blows a steady Easterly gale along the southern coast of China, when a typhoon is crossing the ina Sea, and the gale blows often steady from North-East about the northern entrance to the mosa Straits, when there is a typhoon in a more southern latitude.

When you have ascertained from the changes in the barometer and in the wind, in which semi- your vessel is situated, you should if in the right-hand semicircle keep the wind on the starboard . and if in the left-hand semicircle you should run on the starboard tack or heave to on the k. but it is dangerous to lie to in a typhoon, particularly before you are sure that the centre is port Vessels near the coast of China or in the Formosa Straits generally seek refuge in the nearest hoon harbour indicated in the Directory.

-t.

Vessels leaving Hongkong are warned from the Observatory. Vessels leaving Singapore are d by observing the rules given above to sail round the typhoon, till they find themselves on the rn border, when they may regain their lost distance. The force of the wind is usually greatest in semicircle north of the centre. Typhoons are not met south of nine degrees northern latitude.

Typhoons may be encountered at any season of the year but are most frequent in August and amber. They appear to originate south-east of the Philippine Islands.

ber they frequently pass East of Formosa or travel towards north-west up through the Straits In August and trike the coast of China. Afterwards they usually recurve towards north-east and pass over Japan Poss the sea north of Japan, but not with the violence that is characteristic of tropical storms.

g the remainder of the year they most frequently cross the China Sea from east to west.

SIR,-I have the honour to acquaint you that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have posed to so revise the boundary of the Chinese Station, as to draw the limit South of the Pelew d, St. Andrews, and the adjacent Islands, and thus transfer them from the limits of the Australian tion. This step would be taken with a view to facilitating more frequent visits to these Islands vessels of war, as they can be more readily visited from time to time from ships stationed in the hina Seas.

I have acquainted their Lordships, that I concur in the course proposed, and the Commanders-in- hief on the China and Australian Stations have, accordingly, been informed that the change will take lace from the 1st July next.

From that date, the North Boundary of the Australian Station, and the Scuth Boundary of the China Station will be as follows:-

From 95° E. Longitude by the parallel of 10° S. Latitude to 130° E. Longitude; thence North to N. Latitude, and along that parallel to 136° E. Longitude; thence North to 12° N. Latitude, and along that parallel to 160° W. Longitude.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD MAY, 1885.

Lest, therefore, such an impression should prevail, the Board of Trade wish to point out ! Candidates for Certificates of Competency are not only expected to give correct written answers, wh may merely be learnt off by rote, but they are expected to possess an intelligent knowledge of various subjects prescribed in the Regulations, particularly as regards the important subject of t Deviation of the Compass.

or at:

The Board of Trade are of opinion that this result may be easily attained by the local Exami putting a few vivâ voce questions to the candidate as the papers are brought up for inspection, subsequent time if more convenient. The oral questions (suggested by the printed questions and t answers given) to be such that the Examiner may satisfy himself that the candidate possesses a r knowledge of what he has written, and to be confined strictly to the subjects of the printed question. Should the candidate then exhibit ignorance of the subjects, the Examiner (who is in a position judge of the real knowledge the man before him possesses) should deal with him at his discretio notwithstanding that the candidate may have written all the answers correctly by rote.

When an Examiner finds it necessary to fail a candidate in this supplementary vivâ voce test. memorandum containing the particulars of the points on which the candidate was ignorant should each case be attached to his examination papers, when forwarded in the usual course to the Princi Examiner in London, or the particulars may be set forth by the Examiner in the margins of the candidate's papers in red ink.

This new Regulation will come into operation on and after the 1st August, 1885.

Sumner Problem.

Candidates for examination for Certificates of Competency for foreign-going ships as Masters. First Mates, and Only Mates are informed that, after the 1st August next, the longitudes correspon l ing to the two latitudes by the second observation will no longer be furnished to them by the Examiners. The candidates will consequently be required to work out the whole of the problem for themselves (in place of the explanation now required), and must be prepared to find the sun's true bearing at th time of taking either the first or second observation; and when necessary to produce the lines... positions on the chart in order to make them cut one another should the position of the ship happen to be outside the parallels of the two assumed latitudes given in the question.

Half an hour additional time will be allowed for the extra work involved in this problem,

Extra Masters' Certificates,

With the view of obtaining uniformity of practice at the different examining ports, the Board of Trade give notice that on and after the 1st August next the time allowed Candidates for examination. for Extra Masters' Certificates of Competency to complete the whole of the problems and writings (including the correction of all errors and oversights) must not exceed 26 hours. This period is not intended to include the time occupied by the vivâ voce part of the examination.

Deviation of the Compass,

The Board of Trade also give notice that on and after the 1st August next a period not exceeding 11 hours will be allowed to Candidates for the completion of the whole of the examination in the Syllabus, including the correction of all errors and oversights in both the problems and writings.

Loss of Sight.

A person who has lost the sight of one eye cannot be permitted to be examined for a Certifica!.. of Competency either for the Foreign or Home Trade. If he already holds a Certificate, he cannot l examined for a Certificate of a higher grade.

OUTER ROUTE.

Reef's North-westward of Willis Group.

rmation has been received from Commander W. U. Moore, H.M.S. Dart, of the existence of two coral reefs lying Bestward of Willis group, westward of the Outer route to Torres strait:-

These reefs (Moore Reefs) were passed in the forenoon of 1st January 1885, distant 2 miles, weather bright; they ash, and from the masthead appeared to be 3 to 4 miles apart, and to lie from each other in a N. by W. and S. by ction. The northern and smaller reef was estimated to be 2 miles long in a north and south direction, with a

of one mile.

The north-west extreme of Northern Moore reef is in lat. 15° 53′ S., long. 149° 9′ E.

Nor-At 4 p.m. 21st January 1885, the Dart, from a position by observation, in lat. 15° 25′ S., long. 149° 1' E., d under steam S.S.W. W. a distance of 8 miles: thence a South course was steered, passing over the charted of the south-eastern of the two reefs seen by Bougainville in 1768. The weather at the time was not unfavourable breakers at the distance of 5 to 7 miles, but no indication of shoal water was discerned from the masthead. this tends to disprove the existence of a reef in the position assigned, it will for the present be retained on the alty Charts.

(covering Iguana bank); it is elevated 98 feet above the sea, and should be visible in clear weather from a distance of about 11 miles. *

Directions.-Vessels entering Ilo Ilo strait from the eastward, and intending to pass northward of Siete Pecados, should round Dumangas point at the distance of one mile, and keep within the white light of Siete Pecados; avoiding the red sector. From abreast the light, a mid-channel course should be maintained to Cabugas point when the red light at Ilo

may be steered for, keeping rather on the Guimaras shore.

Ilo

To pass southward of Siete Pecados, the light should be approached bearing about N.W., avoiding the red sector, and also the bank extending about one mile north-eastward of Nabalos village. A small shoal lies in mid-channel about South from the light, which will be avoided by keeping more towards the light when it approaches the bearing of North. When westward of the light proceed as before directed.

BASILAN GROUP.-Bolad (Bolod) Islands.-Banks.-The following banks have been found by thi Spanish gunboat Mindoro, near the Bolads. †

A bank of sand and rock, 11⁄2 miles in extent in a north-east and south-west direction, lies with the West Boloi bearing N.E.E., distant 54 miles; and Bitinan island S.S.W. W. distant 8 miles.

Takut Sungu.--This bank originally placed 4 miles E.S.E. of East Bolad; has been found to be, 2 miles in extent in a north-east and south-west direction, 13 miles in breadth, and to consist of sand, gravel, and rock.. Near its south-wes extremity are rocks with a depth of one fathom; at 2 cables northward of these rocks is a patch of 24 fathoms, and at hali a mile eastward of these is a large patch with depths of from 4 to 5 fathoms, gravel.

There are depths of 8 fathoms close to the south-west side of the bank, 22 fathoms off the south side, and 11 to 13 on the north and north-east sides.

From the centre of the bank, East Bolad bears N.W. by W. W., nearly 5 miles. At 34 miles westward of Batomandi, which is probably the name of a rock situated 24 miles westward of Tataran island, lies a narrow bank, 2 miles in length north and south, with a least depth of 8 fathoms, sand and rock.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 218.

The following Annual Reports on Education in Hongkong, for the year 1884, which were laid re the Legislative Council on the 22nd instant, are published for general information.

By Command,

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 23rd May, 1885.

(1.)

Report by the Inspector of Schools.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 25th February, 1885.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward herewith the Annual Report on Education, and the Blue Book Returns for the year 1884.

2. The total number of Schools, subject to supervision by the Government, amounted in the year 18 to 90, as compared with 50 in 1879, and 39 in the year 1874. The total number of scholars rolled, during the year 1884, in Schools subject to supervision and annual examination by the Government, amounted to 5,885, as compared with 3,460 enrolled in 1879, and 2,563 enrolled in the r 1874. There are now 51 more Schools and 3,322 more scholars under Government supervision n there were ten years ago. It appears therefore that both the number of Schools under Govern- nt supervision in the Colony and the number of scholars attending such Schools have been doubled within the last ten years.

3. The number of children attending Schools in the Colony is steadily increasing from year to ar in the Grant-in-Aid Schools. There is at present no increase of attendance observable in the vernment Schools, but an annual decrease, because, in the case of the Anglo-Chinese Schools kept the Government, all available space is already overcrowded, and, in the case of those Government ols which give purely Chinese teaching, the teaching given in the Government Schools is less reciated by the people than that given in the Grant-in-Aid Schools, where the bonus allowed to the her acts as a powerful stimulant upon the efficiency of the teaching. But when once the long- cted new Victoria College buildings are completed, and the Government Central School moved them, the matter of attendance will resume its normal development so far as Anglo-Chinese ls are concerned.

4. Of the above mentioned 5,885 children in Schools under Government supervision, as many as children were placed by their parents in denominational Grant-in-Aid Schools where they ive a Christian education, whilst 1,978 attended the secular Government Schools. Of the latter, attended the Government Central School, 975 attended other Government Schools in town and the villages, and 445 attended the Aided Schools in the villages.

5. Comparing the number of scholars in town and in the villages with the population, it appears it of a population of 106,398 people in town 4,616 children or 4.34 per cent. attended Schools Government supervision, whilst in the villages, out of a population of 45,595 souls 1,269 children per cent. attended Schools under Government supervision. I estimate the number of children ing about 100 private Schools in town and villages, not under Government supervision, at 2,000, efore the total of children attending Schools of any description at 7,885. This is, perhaps, One third of the children of school-going age living in the Colony, and about 5 per cent. of the population. It will be seen from Table XVI., that I estimate the number of uneducated in the Colony at 12,115, but the estimate is not a reliable one, as there are not sufficient data pon. But we may safely assume that most of the children withheld from school are Chinese

As regards the expenses incurred by the Government in 1884 in supporting Government an-1 Grant-in-Aid Schools, the following details may suffice. The Government Central School, As an Anglo-Chinese education and was attended last year by 558 boys (mostly Chinese), Government last year $13,378.62 or $23.97 per head. Five other Government Schools, also Anglo-Chinese education, and numbering 331 boys, cost the Government, in 1881, $1,900.07 r head. On twenty-nine other Government Schools, giving a purely Chinese education, by 1,089 children, the Government spent, in 1884, $3,709.15 or $3.40 per head. vernment spent, thus, on 1875 children in 35 Government Schools, $18,987.84 or on an

472 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 23rd MAY, 1885.

average $10.12 per head. In addition to this expenditure incurred for Government Schools, the Govern ment paid for the year 1884 the sum of $14,662.30 by way of Grants-in-Aid for 3,907 childr educated in denominational Grant-in-Aid Schools, or $3.70 per head. Altogether, therefore, th Government spent, for the year 1884, in direct payments for the education of 5,882 children the s of $33,650.14 or $5.71 per head. The original cost of school-buildings, the cost of repairs, and the expenses of the Inspectorate of Schools, are not included in the figures here given.

7. As to the nature of the education given in the various Schools supported or aided by th Government, there were, in 1884, as many as 2,933 children receiving a purely Chinese education in Grant-in-Aid Schools, and 1,089 children receiving the same education in Government Schools. Ther. were 55 children receiving a Chinese education in the Chinese language. but with English in addition. and 97 children receiving a European education by the use of the Chinese language. There were. further, 822 children receiving a European education in some European language (either English or Portuguese) in Grant-in-Aid Schools and 889 children receiving an Anglo-Chinese education in Government Schools. The languages and dialects, taught in Schools under Government supervision and brought under examination, are English and Portuguese, and the Chinese language in the Punti, Hakka, and Hoklo dialects. The subjects of examination are in Chinese Schools readin.. writing, repeating, composition, prosody and geography. No arithmetic is taught in purely Chines Schools. In Schools which give a European education in the Chinese language, the foregoing subjects are taught with the exception of prosody, for which arithmetic and history are substituted, and the use of romanized writing is combined with reading and writing Chinese characters. The subjects taught in Schools which give a European or Anglo-Chinese education are (in addition to the above mentioned Chinese subjects in the case of Anglo-Chinese Schools), English (or Portuguese) reading, writing, gramınar, composition, history, arithmetic, geography, physical geography, map-drawing. algebra, mensuration and Euclid. Latin and book-keeping have been added, in 1884, to the extra- subjects of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, but none of the Grant-in-Aid Schools has as yet taken advantage of these new subjects. In Girls-schools, needle-work also is taught as one of the subjects of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme.

8. The proportion of boys to girls enrolled in the Schools under Government supervision is steadily, though slowly, improving year by year.

improving year by year. There is, indeed, but a very slight improvement visible in 1884 as compared with the preceding year, for in 1883 there were on the rolls of these Schools 4,120 boys and 1,477 girls, whilst in 1884 there were 4,294 boys and 1,488 girls in the same Schools, shewing an increase of only 174 boys and 11 girls. But the increase becomes apparent if we compare the state of things in this respect as it was 5 and 10 years ago, when the 4,294 boys and 1,488 girls attending Schools under Government supervision in 1884 compare very favourably with 2,850 boys and 610 girls enrolled in such Schools in 1879, and with 2,282 boys and 281 girls enrolled in 1874. It appears, therefore, that the proportion of girls to boys was 1 to 8 in 1874, 1 to 4 in 1879 and 1 to 3 in 1884. But as there are hardly more than 200 girls attending Schools in the Colony apart from the above mentioned Schools under the supervision of the Government, so that the above given figures virtually cover the whole area of female education in the Colony, and as the proportion of male and female children appears from the census to be about equal, it is evident that there is much room for improvement left.

9. The results of the teaching given in Schools under Government supervision, as ascertained by the annual examinations, are, as far as the Central School is concerned, embodied in the Report of the Headmaster which will be found below; and, as far as other Government Schools and the Grant- in-Aid Schools are concerned, the results of the examinations are given in detail in the Tables appended to this Report. The following additional details and observations may, however, be of interest.

10. The Government Central School was examined by myself, as usual, in concert with the Headmaster who used the results of my examination for the purpose of determining the award of the annual prizes and scholarships. Of 379 boys of the Central School examined in 1884, as many as 362 passed, which gives 95.58 per cent. of passes, as compared with 96.98 per cent. obtained in 1883. There was, therefore, a very slight falling off in the total results, as compared with the previous year. The English subjects in which this diminution of results is specially apparent are the following, viz.. arithmetic (especially in Classes VI, VII and VIII), dictation and algebra (in Class I, where the subjects given out were, perhaps, slightly more difficult than in former years), translation (especially in Class XI), and grammar (in Class VIII). Dictation was in 1884, as in the previous year, th weak side of Class I, where 14 failed out of 25, but the composition was rather good in Classes I, II and III. Classes II and VII specially distinguished themselves by obtaining the highest average passes. The examination of the Chinese Classes, though not displaying such high results as the English teaching given in this School, shewed, on the whole, satisfactory results. But the Chinese teaching given in the Anglo-Chinese Classes continues, year by year, to yield unsatisfactory results. Even apart from the meagre results obtained at the examination, the teaching itself that appears to have been given in these Classes seems to have been defective. The whole year's tuition amounted in the first division of the Anglo-Chinese Classes to reading 13 pages in the Analects of Confucius, 22 pag in the Shing-u-háu, and 44 pages in the Sit-yuk (vocabulary). In the second division the year teaching consisted in reading 39 pages of Mencius, learning a single meaning of each of 250 Chinese characters, and 35 brief English sentences with curious Chinese renderings in a style mixing together

kestyle with the lowest colloquial. In the third division the Sám-tsze-king was read (without lanation of the meaning of the words) and 150 Chinese radicals were taught.

Much of the defect he teaching given in these Anglo-Chinese Classes is caused by the absence of properly trained hers having a sufficient knowledge of both the English and the Chinese languages, and by the t of interest in Chinese studies generally displayed by non-Chinese boys (Indians excepted). 11.

12. There are five other Government Schools, outside the Central School, which give the same kind of education as that represented by the lower half of the Central School. These Schools made good progress in 1884. They act as feeders to the Central School, and I am glad to be able to report that the Headmaster of the Central School had occasion lately to express his satisfaction with the solidity of the elementary training given in those outside Schools, which evidenced itself by the rapid anil steady progress made in the highest classes of the Central School by boys originally trained in those outside Government Schools. The remainder of the Government Schools, giving a purely Chinese education, call for no special remark,

13. The Grant-in-Aid Schools came, with the beginning of the year 1884, under the operation of the changes which were made in the Scheme in the year 1883, the required notice having been given some months before. These changes affected principally those Schools which the Scheme designates 'Schools in Class I.,' and which give a purely Chinese education, the other Schools being only so far affected as two new extra-subjects (Latin and book-keeping) were allowed. But in these purely Chinese Schools (Class I.) important changes were introduced. The value of a pass in Standard I. was reduced from $5 to $2, in Standard II. from $6 to $4, in Standard III. from $7 to $6. In Standard IV. the value of a pass was left unchanged, but in Standard V. the value of a pass was increased from $9 to $10, and in Standard VI. from $10 to $12. In addition to these changes the pensum of each Standard was extended, so that more work had to be done, in writing and repetition, and especially in the subject of geography, which was made to include the general outlines of the map of the world, and in Girls-schools a new subject (letter-writing) was made obligatory in the highest Standard. The object in view in making these changes was, in the first instance, to reduce the earning power of these inexpensive Chinese Schools, which hitherto earned abnormally high grants as compared with the grants earned by English Schools, covering generally 90 per cent. of their actual expenses. A second object, which the Government had in view in making these changes, was to give these Chinese Schools greater encouragement to bring more children under the teaching of the higher Standards (IV., V. and VI.), because a tendency had been observed, for many years past, of training children chiefly in the lower Standards of the Scheme in which

could be passes obtained at the examination with comparative ease, but to bring forward as few scholars as into the higher Standards in which the risk of failure was much greater. Now this first year's trial possible of the working of the Scheme in its revised form is not sufficient to form a conclusive opinion as to th practical and permanent value of the changes made, and I defer therefore expressing any opinion as to whether the objects aimed at have been permanently achieved or not.

But this much I may say

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 23RD MAY, 1885. 475

at once, that the Managers, who previously acknowledged the need of a change in the direction above mentioned, but were afraid that the changes might result in such a serious diminution of the grants that they would be unable to continue their Schools, are all willing to continue working their Schools under revised Scheme. I may also add that in most of the Schools and especially in the Boys-schools, cted by these changes, the percentage of passes obtained in 1884, as compared with the percentage tained in 1883, has been considerably reduced, the diminution ranging from 2 to 37 per cent. It was owing to this diminution in the earning power of the purely Chinese Schools that the sum voted for Grants-in-Aid ($17,000) has not only proved amply sufficient but left an unexpended balance of over $2,000 in hand. The following details may also be given as illustrative of the effects which the above mentioned changes in the Grant-in-Aid Scheme have so far brought to the surface. The number of children brought under examination in the years 1883 and 1881 respectively under each separate Standard of Schools in Class I. (giving a purely Chinese education), and the sums earned by them apart from Capitation Grant and Needlework) under each Standard, are exhibited by the subjoined

14. It will be seen from the above figures that the number of children brought under ex- amination in Schools of Class I. was in 1884 smaller by 187 than in 1883. This reduction in he number of children was caused by accidental circumstances unconnected with the changes made in the Scheme. It will further be seen that, whilst in 1883 out of 1,438 children as many as 23 were examined in Standard I., only 76 were examined in that same Standard, whith in- cates, what I otherwise observed as a fact, that the teachers, considering the value of Standard I too low, put into Standard II., the higher one, children who would otherwise have been placed the lower Standard. This is a result of the above changes, by no means to be deplored, it is one which rather tends to raise the general standard of education. It will further be seen the above figures that the teachers crowded as many children as they could into Standards i. and IV., so that, whilst in 1883 only 381 children were examined in these two Standards, many as 590 were examined in the same Standards in 1884. This appears to be likewise a er favourable result of the revision of the Scheme. It will finally be seen from the above Table there was an increase in the number of children examined in Standard V. in 1884, as compared the previous year, but a decrease in Standard VI. The amount of money earned in 1884 1883 by these Schools is, of course, in proportion to the number of children who were ex- 1. passed and failed, but it is obvious that the number of failures was greater in 1884 in any previous year, which was exactly what was intended, and hence a decrease of $1,278 the total amount of grants earned by this Class of Schools as compared with the amount earned i. I need hardly add that the teachers, in crowding children into certain Standards, were allowed to deviate from the strict rule of the Scheme that no scholar can be examined in a lower hard than that under which he has been previously presented, nor in the same Standard unless failed to pass in two or more subjects. Although these details seem to indicate that the changes in the Scheme have, as far as the year 1884 is concerned, on the whole worked beneficially, it will visable to watch the results of these changes for one or two years longer before making a decision ny further modification of the Scheme. The actual working of the Scheme depends to a great on the tactics adopted by the teachers in endeavouring to obtain as high a grant as possible, and ties are adopted by them without regard to the bearing such tactics may have on the general sts of education in the Colony.

15. As to the remainder of the Grant-in-Aid Schools, there was a signal failure in composition in r classes of St. Joseph's College and, to a minor extent, also in the Berlin and Basel Mission On the other hand, the lower classes of St. Joseph's College, the Diocesan School and

the Italian Convent School specially distinguished themselves in various subjects, the Diocesan Sel especially also by continuing its laudable efforts in bringing forward, year after year, a good proporti... of its pupils in extra-subjects (Euclid, etc.). None of these Schools, however, calls this remarks, with the exception of St. Joseph's College.

16. St. Joseph's College is not only well housed now, but the discipline and method of th School appear also to be very good. There has also been an improvement in the regularity of atten! ance, and the staff of Masters has also been increased during the last few

But years. I have to complain of the low results obtained in the highest Standards, in Standards V. and VI

year after year in the subject of English composition. When it is considered that the subjects of the Grant-in-Ai Scheme, and the amount of proficiency required of a scholar under this Scheme in order to entitle hi to a pass, do not represent the maximum but the minimum of an elementary. English education, and when it is found difficult to obtain in composition more than three correctly formed sentences in Standards V. and VI., and when a School, otherwise well organized and well taught, year by year exhibits poor results in composition, there must be something radically wrong. The defect lies. I believe, in the fact, that nearly all the scholars of this College are Portuguese to whom the English language is entirely foreign, but who, strange to say, do not first learn to express thought anl feeling correctly in their own mother-tongue, and, in fact, learn neither to read nor write Portuguese, knowing their own language only colloquially. They make very good progress in the lower Standards. because they devote all their school-time to English studies, whilst in other Schools half the time is devoted to teaching the scholars to master their respective native language, but when these Portuguese youths reach the higher Standards, though excelling in arithmetic, grammar and history, they appear to think and feel not in English but in Portuguese, and having no practical idea of the differences in structure and idiom which distinguish the two languages, they find themselves signally at a loss ⚫ when called upon to express their thoughts and feelings independently in correct and idiomatic English on any given subject. I am therefore clearly of opinion that the remedy lies in applying the policy of education which, in accordance with previous suggestions of my Annual Reports, a portion of the Portuguese Community adopted in starting several elementary Portuguese Schools in the Colony, to a re-organisation of St. Joseph's College. The Head Master endeavoured to do this, but met with opposition on the part of many parents. I believe it highly desirable that all Portuguese youths. to whom the English language is not their mother-tongue nor the language of their home-life, should first of all be set to master the Portuguese language before they are put to more advanced English studies.

17. The needle work of the Girls-schools was this year examined by two separate sets of Ladies' Committees, to the members of which the thanks of the Government are due for the painstaking examination of the needlework submitted to them. It was found impracticable to arrange for a public exhibition of the needlework submitted for examination, but endeavours will be made on a future occasion to improve the whole system of examining the needlework of all the Girls-schools under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme.

18. Government Scholarships for the study of Law, Medicine or Civil Engineering in Great Britain' have been established during the year and a pupil of the Government Central School was the first successful competitor. Apart from these Scholarships there are now four Scholarships connected with the Central School, viz., a Morrison Scholarship, a Stewart Scholarship, and two Belilios Scholar- ships. St. Joseph's College enjoys the benefit of two Belilios Scholarships.

Report by the Head Master of the Government Central School.

GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL,

HONGKONG, 3rd January, 1885.

}

SIR.-I have the honour to forward for the Blue Book the Annual Returns and Report belonging to this Department.

1. The past year has been an eventful one, for the school.

2. On 16th February a large number of former scholars of the Central School, presented an Adress to the late headmaster, the Honourable F. STEWART, LL.D. and at the same time announced ... foundation in his honour of a scholarship, to be called the "STEWART Scholarship." Their mmittee have decided to award this Scholarship annually to the boy, who gets the highest marks in - English Subjects, together with Translation from and into Chinese. The Scholarship is intended be of the value of $100 a year for three years; but for the present, the first will be the only instalment.

On 26th April, His Excellency the Governor laid the foundation stone of the new Victoria College; hich event was hailed with joy by all friends of the Central School, as well as by masters and holars, who are anxious to reap the advantages, to health and progress in education, which will be forded by the fine building now about to be erected. The conversion of the ground selected, into a e for the building and play-ground, a large and solid undertaking, is nearly completed and the undations of the walls of the building have appeared above ground.

3. The first examination for the Government Scholarship, of £200 a year for prosecution of lies in England, granted by the Colonial Government, at the suggestion of His Excellency the vernor, was held in December. There were only two candidates both from the Central School; the cessful one being Mr. W. BOSMAN with 788 out of 1,100 possible marks, while Mr. C. F. G. GRIMBLE tained 638 marks. This result must be considered very satisfactory, when it is remembered that boys are at the lower limit of age (only just turned 17) and that they had barely 8 months in ich to read for the Scholarship. The special classes, required by the extra subjects for the scholar- , entailed extra hours of instruction outside the usual school hours. The Literature subjects and in were taken by myself; the Mathematical subjects by Mr. ARTHUR (Acting Second_Master); English History by Mr. FALCONER (Acting Superintendent of Victoria Gaol) who since September lly gave his services on this occasion, and for the Chinese Translation in the First Class.

4. On the 1st of June Mr. CALDWELL resigned his appointment; having obtained employment le the Government Service. During 4 years Mr. CALDWELL proved an efficient and successful r in the Preparatory and Lower Schools, his classes obtaining a high percentage of marks. 5. I regret to have to report that the school was deprived, by death, of the valuable services of MCKINNEY. Mr. MCKINNEY joined the Colonial Service in 1870, and having served successively Police Force and Survey Department was appointed to the Central School in December, 1878. large extent self-educated, it speaks very highly for the determination and perseverance of his eter, that he succeeded in becoming, not only an excellent master in English and Mathematical ets, but also a fair Chinese scholar above the average of students.

The permanent loss of these two masters, together with the previous temporary transfer of FALCONER to the Gaol, and Mr. HUTCHISON to the Post Office, has naturally told on the progress

school this year.

7. Mr. DEALY, successor to Mr. CALDWELL, arrived on the 1st of December. He was trained at y's Hammersmith, and has been in charge of a school in Derby. Just before he left England, ALY passed the Intermediate Examination for the degree of B. A. at the London University,

ced in the First Division. Since the 1st of June Mr. CHAPE, who acted successfully in this capacity for twelve months revious occasion, was Acting Assistant Master, in lieu of Mr. CALDWELL until Mr. DEALY'S

d is now continuing his services, until the arrival of Mr. JONES, Mr. MCKINNEY'S successor. The following changes are to be noted among the Chinese Assistants, Mr. ALARAKIA was to the Observatory, Mr. LI KING PAU to the Public Works Department and Mr. WAT PAK'TAI Registrar General's Office.

As many difficulties were found to attend the custom of allowing boys the use of books, promotion or on finally leaving the school they returned into store; a new plan has been ACELLENCY's permission adopted this year, by which the boys pay two dollars a piece extra ($12 instead of $10), and in return for this become possessors of all the books they

to the gratification of the boys and with some gain to the Treasury.

478 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOV” GAZETTE OF 23RD MAY, 1885.

11. With regard to alterations in the course of studies; the Reading Books have been advant one Standard throughout the school; the mathematical studies of the Upper School are of a hig standard than formerly; English History is now extended to the 3rd Class and English Composit to the 4th Class; an attempt has, moreover, been made to make the Anglo-Chinese Classes mer practically useful, by introducing the translation of short English sentences into Chinese, and sub tuting a Table of 300 of the most common Chinese characters for the 214 Radicals, several of whi are of little use outside the native dictionary, which these boys will never use.

12. As the Annual Examination will, as usual, not take place till the end of January, I mus defer comments on the work done since last February, until the next Annual Report.

13. In the past year 6 boys have entered the Colonial Service, 21 the Chinese Service; 17 bo; have obtained employment in professional and mercantile firms and 2 in the Dock Company,

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

Weather Report for August, 1884.

In the China Coast Meteorological Register, based on information transmitted by the Great Northern Eastern Extension Telegraph Companies-which I have published daily, is given a summary atmospheric circumstances in Manila and along the Coast of China between Haiphong and hai. It also contains information concerning the weather in Nagasaki and Wladivostock.

The barometer reached its highest reading after the passage of Typhoon V. in Manila on the 30th and in Hongkong on the 1st August. On the latter day a light N breeze, backing next day to A blew over Luzon. The sky was overcast and rain fell. Southeast of Luzon the weather was bad there was not much wind. Upper clouds from ENE were observed in Hongkong on the 2nd. backed to NNE on the 3rd. At 10 a. on the 2nd I issued the following notice:-There appears another Typhoon far off in the East.' The center of Typhoon VI appears to have been at that Situated in 15° N, 127° E and to have been moving from SE to NW, but for want of observations -ition cannot be properly determined. The barometer fell to 29.60 at 4 p. on the 3rd in Manila, lowest reading reported from that station. A moderate SW breeze was blowing at the time he wet weather continued. At 10 a. on the 5th the center appears to have been moving straight wards. Its position may have been about 22° N and 125° E. The S. S. Thibet on the morning at day experienced a head swell and at noon in 28° 5' N and 125° 49′ E a moderate N gale, increased to a fresh NE gale with hard squalls and a high sea during the following night. The ter had fallen 0.2 inches since noon on the previous day and appearances to eastward were ing. At 10 a. on the 6th the center was perhaps in about 241° N and 125° E. I notified -the Typhoon appeared to have taken a northerly course.' The lowest

The lowest reading of the eter in Hongkong was not reached till that day, but it is not impossible that the depression was deeper as it proceeded. At the same time the temperature reached its maximum here and came up from WNW. Fine weather and light winds continued without interruption over and in the China Sea. No rain fell in Hongkong till the 8th. But on the 6th and the 7th NW breezes were felt over Formosa and on the latter day a moderate NNE gale with high sea avy swell was felt in the northern entrance to the Formosa Straits. At the same time a strong rooze is reported from Tamsui with overcast weather and passing showers. At Takow a strong breeze on the 6th increased to a NNW gale on the 8th. But this was not felt at neighbouring On the whole the distribution of fresh winds during this Typhoon seems to have been very The fall in the barometer did not much exceed 0.1 inches at any of these stations. 7th the center of the Typhoon may have been in 26° N and 126° E. I gave notice :-' that hoon appeared to have recurved and returned to the Pacific in about the latitude of Northern

At 10

On the 8th, light SW breezes were felt over the China Sea and along the coast. At 10 a. the in about 28° N and 127° E. On the 9th the barometer was falling slightly in Shanghai lerate NE breeze was felt in the afternoon. At 10 a. on the 10th the center appears to have 30° 25′ N and 128°42′ E. The barometer was falling over SW Japan and stormwarnings ssued

ed from the Observatory in Tokio. At 2 p. Mr. KNIPPING wrote: A depression is off S. At 3 p. an E gale blew in Kagoshima, where the barometer fell to 29.2) at 9 p. That the weather was rainy in SW Japan but fine at all castern stations. The 11th at 6 a. the rad fallen to 29.13 in Nagasaki, where a N gale was blowing. South of Iliogo the S. S. squally weather. In Nagasaki at 2 p. 3.74 inches of rain had fallen and the temperature ten degrees. At 9 p. the center appears to have been in 32° 45′ N and 132° 12′ E.* At 10 vening the S. S. Volga in about 33° N and 13430 E encountered a whole gale from SE, red to SW next morning. The rain was not heavy but the sea was higher than was to be on the force of the wind. At 6 a. on the 12th the center was in 33° N and 132° 55′ E,

0′ ading was 29.21 inches. The wind was nowhere strong although in Osaka it blew a gale Est. The center was moving slowly eastward. At 2 it was in 33° 20′ N and 134° 0' E in 34° 0′ N and 135° 50′ E. The depression was beginning to fill up but the wind had heavy NE gale in Osaka. At 6 a. on the 13th it was in 34° 10′ N and 137° 30′ E and ds were felt in southern Nippon. At 2 p. it was in 31° N and 139° E and the weather dering in the west but rainy in the east. In the evening of the 13th the depression passed

Meantime the barometer had been rising over Southern China and the Philippines. On the 11 began to fall and upper clouds came up over Hongkong from SE. At 11 a. I gave notice typhoon would probably soon be formed and that it would most likely take a Northern course, moderate SW veering to NW breeze was reported from Luzon on that day. The weather was s and wet and continued so for a couple of days. The lowest barometer was reported at 4 p. on the accompanied by a moderate breeze from WSW. The direction of the upper current over Hong backed to NNE on the 13th; at S. Cape the barometer was lowest on the 13th. It had fallen a tenth of an inch in two days. The weather was warm and close but cleared up on the following Fine weather and smooth seas prevailed over the China Sea. It appears that Typhoon VII had j far to the East, perhaps at no time less than 900 miles distant, but its track cannot be laid dow much more as I have not been able to trace it to Japan.

ין

In Hongkong the barometer was rising between the 14th and the 19th, but the rise was interrup by a slight fall, also registered at S. Cape (Formosa), on the 17th. The weather continued overe with gentle S and SW winds, which blew over the China Sea, the Philippines, and Southern Form In Manila the barometer began to fall on the 15th, the lowest reading 29.65 being reported at 4 the 17th. At 10 a. on the 16th the wind veered to NW in Manila, and I notified, that it was impossible, that there was another depression in the far East,' and in the evening of the 17th, that had approached Manila. At 4 p. on the 16th a light Easterly breeze and squally weather had b reported from there, and at 10 a. on the 17th a gentle NE breeze with overcast and rainy weather. T wind appears to have veered to East in the afternoon and the sky was clear next morning. Typho VIII appears therefore to have passed south of Manila and to have disappeared moving towards W The strong NW squalls veering to NE with very heavy rains, and a confused sea with heavy sw from E, that were encountered by the S. S. Glenogle on or about the 19th in 10° to 13° N and abe 114° E. were apparently caused by this typhoon.

On the morning of the 18th the sky cleared in Manila and in the afternoon in Hongkong. T barometer began to fall over Luzon the same day and along the Southern Coast of China as well as ove Southern Formosa on the following day. At 10 a. on the 18th the center of Typhoon IX appears have been in about 12° N and 126° E. Gentle E breezes blew over Luzon, and Southern Formosa. 1- was moving towards NW and its position at 10 a. on the 19th was about 14° 10' N and 124° 10' very light NNW breeze was reported from Manila. Light E breezes blew along the Southern Co of China. At S. Cape a moderate ENE breeze and detached clouds were observed. In Northern Chi the weather was overcast owing to a depression, whose center was in Shantung, where the barome:: had fallen one or two tenths of an inch. It came from the W and passed off to Japan. The win! did not exceed fresh breezes.-No doubt the existence of this depression influenced the course. Typhoon IX. It is known from the researches of European and American meteorologists, that atmos pheric depressions are attracted towards areas, where the wind is light and the barometer low, especially towards places which have just been traversed by a previous depression,-circumstances i such places being particularly favourable for the support of a fresh disturbance, no doubt owing: the richness of water vapour from the previous fall of rain.

At 10 a. on the 20th the center appears to have been in 15° 55′ N and 121° 22′ E. Now th winds were much stronger, a part of the disturbance having reached the China Sea. The height of th barometer in Manila was 29.61 and a fresh WSW gale was reported,-it fell to 29.39 at 4 p. with.. strong SW gale,-the weather was overcast and gloomy and over one inch of rain was reported during the day. A strong N gale blew to the northwest of Luzon. Over China the weather continued fine wit detached clouds. The sky had cleared and the barometer had risen in the north. It had fallen couple of hundredins of an inch in the south. Light breezes from different directions blew except at > Cape, where the wind had increased and the air had become misty in the morning. Already at 10. there blew a moderate NE gale.

At 10 a. on the 21st the center was is 19° 55′ N and 118° 15′ E. The gale had veered at reached SSW to the northwest of Luzon. On the SE coast of China the barometer had fallen about two tenths since previous morning. Moderate NE breezes blew, and the sky was overcast. Un clouds from E were observed in Hongkong. The barometer had fallen about a tenth in Tonquin, whe the weather was fine, and had risen two tenths in Manila, where the sky was clearing with a gentle breeze. At S. Cape it was raining, the barometer had fallen two tenths of an inch and the moderat NE gale continued. Bad weather was of course encountered by ships in the China Sea. Yangtzekiang the barometer had fallen half a tenth and light breezes blew from different direction Along th of course influenced by the course of the river,-the well known fact that the wind blows general along a river valley being particularly noticeable along the banks of that mighty waterway. At 10 30 m. a. the following notice was telegraphed to the Treaty Ports :-Typhoon approaching from i East.'

In answer to enquiries during the day I stated, that good ships might safely start Singapore, but not for northern or eastern ports, and also that the Typhoon would probably appro nearest to Hongkong the following morning. The fall in the barometer in Manila had been point out in the China Coast Meteorological Register on the 19th and the Typhoon had been referred to the 20th.-During the afternoon of the 21st extremely hot, close and gloomy weather was expericuce along the SE coast of China with drizzling rain in some places. The sea was comparatively moder.." with a slight SE swell. The lightkeeper at Lamocks saw already at 6 p. from the threatenin appearance of the sky, that a Typhoon was approaching. The wind was ENE in that place, increasi

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 23RD MAY, 1885. 491

hard squalls, and subsequently heavy rain fell. At the same time it was still raining at S. Cape, the gale abated. Between 9 p. and 10 p. the Typhoon gun in Hongkong was fired one round, as I had been ne that it would be impossible to fire it after the latter hour, and on due consideration I con-

it risky to neglect to give warning to the Colony of the violent Typhoon, that would shortly within so short a distance and would probably give rise to a SW gale after passing. In this case ver the greatest violence of the wind was confined to the portion of the Typhoon north of the r. It blew a fresh NE gale and the sea was tremendous already in the forenoon as far north as at northern entrance to the Formosa Straits. The gale veered to SE during the night. I believe it ot unusual for the wind to be most violent north of the center and for the disturbance to extend hest to that side, a circumstance that reminds one of the Mauritius Hurricanes, the E winds eeted with which are so extensive according to Meldrum. Whenever a Typhoon crosses the ina Sea, we have generally a long spell of fresh E winds.

The center of the Typhoon passed over Lamocks, the lighthouse outside Swatow, about 3 a. on 22nd. The Typhoon ceased about 2 h. 30 m. a. and recommenced about 4 h. 30 m. a. Captain ASHTON in the S. S. Fokien, then at anchor in the Tongsang Harbour, when about 18 miles from the ter, noticed stars overhead, before and after which the sky was densely covered with clouds, from ich a deluge of rain was pouring down. Six inches of rain during the Typhoon were measured in Amoy, but as the gauge is situated on the roof of the Custom House, the quantity which actually fell y not have been far short of ten inches. Four inches of rain were measured in Swatow. A heavy wnpour of rain is also reported from Fisher Island.

The center of the Typhoon moved towards N 124° W with an increasing velocity, which at 3 a. n the 22nd was about 23 miles an hour. The diameter of the central calm was about 46 miles, hich is I believe greater than usual. Its center did not coincide with the place where the barometer ad lowest i. e. the center of the isobars, but was situated apparently about 20 miles SSE of that, so that the calm followed after the lowest reading of the barometer. The wind made an angle with the De towards the center of the central calm of 52° in the advancing semicircle and 45° in the rear or on average 480,-so that an observer with his back turned to the wind had the center about midway tween his front and his left. The temperatures recorded vary between 73° and 82°.

The average emperature was 78°. It was not higher near the center than elsewhere. The sky was overcast above

miles in front of the center. Heavy rain fell above 100 miles in front.

On an average the wind blew a moderate gale (7), when the gradient was 0.02 inches in 15 alles, a fresh gale (8), when the gradient was 0.04, a strong gale (9), when the gradient was 0.06, a de gale (10), when the gradient was 0.07, a storm (11), when the gradient was 0.09 and with Typhoon force (12), when the gradient was 0.12.

The following table exhibits the most important records concerning this Typhoon. The readings the barometers have been reduced to 32° and to Sea Level, and index corrections, which I have termined as accurately as possible from available data, have been applied :-

At 10a. on the 22nd the center appears to have been situated in 25° 48′ N and 116° 35′ E. SE gales still blew in the Formosa Straits, where the sea continued very boisterous, and even thern Formosa, and the weather continued overcast and wet. It rained also here and there the Yangtzekiang, where the barometer had fallen more than a tenth of an inch in the past Round the Gulf of Pechili the weather was fine with light breezes. In SW China and in the barometer had fallen nearly a tenth, but the sky was partly clear and gentle W breezes blowing. The typhoon was proceeding northwards with increasing velocity but with rapidly ing energy. In Kiukiang and Wuhu the day continued rainy throughout with an at times NE breeze in the first place. In the latter place no wind above a strong breeze was recorded, h the center appears to have approached within 60 miles.

10a. on the 23rd the center appears to have been in 33° 22′ N and 118° 14′ E. The barometer fallen two tenths in Chinkiang, where the weather was clearing after continuous rain. A fresh le had been felt. At 6a. the gale veered towards SW with decreasing violence in the course of lay. In Shanghai the breeze veered during the day from SE through S to W and the barometer Outside of Shanghai a fresh SSE gale veering to S was registered. Gentle SW winds prevailed - In Chefoo a the south with detached clouds along the coast, and overcast weather in Formosa.

E breeze at 9 a. veered through SW and decreased in force during the day, it reached the force Strong breeze and blew from NW the following midnight. Some damage was done to houses. the NE Shantung Promontory it blew a whole gale from SE in the morning of the 23rd. This

the cause of the unusually high tide at Taku, which was thought so strange at the time.

The day veered to SW during the day and blew from NW the following day but with less force. inued overcast, gloomy, misty, and wet both in Shantung and in Newchwang, but in Taku ntsin), whence a fresh E wind is reported, it appears to have been fine weather. In Newchwang entle ENE breeze at 1p. increased to a fresh NE gale at midnight. This blew with undiminished e till about 4a. on the 24th, when it backed to N and subsequently to NW and a calm is reported 4p. same day. The depression appears to have passed off towards ENE, but not having received telegraphic reports from Wladivostock, owing to the destruction of cables caused by the typhoon, - not able to ascertain, whether it can be traced as far as that.

In Hongkong electric phenomena were observed every day from the 20th to the 23rd, both clusive, but such phenomena are not referred to in the registers received from other stations till the ing of the 23rd, when thunder and lightening were registered in the Formosa Straits, and tuing was seen as far north as Shanghai. On the 24th thunder and lightning were again regis- d in the Straits. It appears therefore, that electric phenomena followed but did not precede this phoon in the places visited by strong wind.

Meantime Typhoon X had made its appearance in the Pacific. Rainy and misty weather set in Manila on the 23rd, and continued up to the 25th, on which latter date over 5 inches of rain were arted, but no wind above a moderate breeze was reported, nor does the barometer, judging from 10a. and 4p. reports, appear to have fallen much. At 10a. the 23rd a gentle NW breeze was stered and the wind had backed to SSW the following morning.

At S. Cape the barometer was lowest at 3p. on the 24th. On the morning of the 24th it blew a h NW breeze, which increased to a strong breeze at midnight. It then backed to W and decreased free the following day.

At Hongkong cirrus clouds from ENE were observed at 10a. on the 23rd. They backed to SW the following days. The barometer was lowest at 5p. on the 24th. Rain fell on the morning that day.

At N. Saddle Lighthouse, East of Shanghai, there blew a moderate NE gale during the night ween the 24th and the 25th. The gale backed to NNW and decreased in force next day. The ther continued fine.

The S. S. San Pablo at 3p. on the 24th in 27° N and 124° E experienced a NNE gale, a swell from ESE and a heavy sea from NE, and at 3a. on the 25th a whole gale from NNW, a swell from NE, a rising sea from NW as well as heavy showers of rain. Afterwards the gale

towards NW.

Of course it is not possible to project the track of a depression from similar data, but it is possible, the center of Typhoon X at 10a. on the 23rd was in 15° N and 127° E, at 10a on the 24th in Nand 1243° E and at 10a. on the 25th in 281° N and 127° E.

This typhoon would perhaps have passed across the China Sea or have struck the SE coast of a. if it had not been drawn towards the previous typhoon, then passing northwards over China. perhaps under the influence of that typhoon, that it passed northwards with such an unusual y, when it was yet to the east of Formosa, and threw itself on southern Japan with a fury, is not commonly exhibited by atmospheric disturbances in that latitude. On the night between 25th and the 24th it caused a great loss of life and property in Nagasaki and also in Kobe. At 2p. on the 25th Mr. KNIPPING wrote: "The center of a very deep depression lies between Ki and Kagoshima, the former station reporting 28.94 or a fall of 0.67 inches with a NE gale, hima for 11. 29.13 with a S gale) gales extending to Kochi and Shimonosaki with rain, 0.79 at the latter station. In the East the barometer fall is moderate &c.' At 9p. he wrote, storincenter has moved rapidly NE and appears to be in the central inland sea, Sakai reporting

The depression has proceeded in the same direction, NE, but with a much smaller velocity somewhat shallower; its center being near Akita with 29.095. Aomori reports strong NE with ma rain (1.50 inches), SW winds to gales at all other Eastern stations.' And at 9p.: 'The center of: depression is progressing very slowly NE and lies E of Akita, which reports 29.13 inches pressure w a N gale and 0.83 inches rain. In central Japan winds have moderated,' &c. From the tri-d weather maps issued from the Imperial Meteorological Observatory, Tokio, it appears, that the cent was in 31° 55′ N, 130° 0' E at 2 p. on the 25th, in 34° 7′ N, 131° 55′ E at 9 p. on the 25th, in 14′ N, 137° 35′ E at 6 a. on the 26th, in 38° 50′ N, 140° 5′ E at 2 p. on the 26th and in 40° 0°N 140° 50′ E at 9 p. on the 26th, when it passed off towards ENE.

Light breezes and detached clouds prevailed over southern China till the end of the mon A shallow depression advancing from the W passed across northern China in about 34° latitude

NOTICE.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

Meteorological Signals will be hoisted on the mast in front of the Police Barracks at Tsimshatsui:- A red drum indicates the existence of a typhoon in the China Sea to the East of the Colony.

A red cone pointing upwards indicates, thai a typhoon exists in a latitude more Northern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards North.

A red cone pointing downwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude, more Southern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards South.

A red ball indicates the existence of a typhoon somewhere to the West of the Colony.

2. The shipping community is supposed to be guided not solely by these signals, but to consult

The China Coust Meteorological Register issued daily from here.

3. The Meteorological signals do not imply that a typhoon is approaching the Colony. Loca! Storm-warnings are given by firing the gun placed at the foot of the mast. It will be fired one round, whenever a strong gale of wind is expected here. It will be fired two rounds. whenever the wind is expected to blow with storm or typhoon force, and it will be fired again, if possible, when the wind is likely to suddenly shift round,-such shifting being frequently accompanied by great disasters to the shipping.

4. In cases where special information is urgently required, enquiries at the Observatory should, if

possible, be made between 1 p. and 4 p., as I am particularly engaged at other times.

His ROYAL HIGHNESS ir opening the proceedings said,-

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

In addressing you for the first time, I would remind you that the objects for which Her Majesty has been pleased to appoint this Commission are, briefly, to organise and carry out an Exhibition by which the reproductive resources of our Colonies and of the Indian Empire may be brought before the people of Great Britain, and by which also the distant portions of Her Majesty's Dominions may be enabled to compare the advance made by each other in trade, manufactures, and general material

progress.

This project, to the realisation of which I have looked forward for some years, is essentially one of a National and Imperial character, differing in this respect from former Exhibitions, in which the elements of trade rivalry and profit largely predominated.

No such opportunity of becoming practically acquainted with the economic condition of our Colonies and the Indian Empire has ever been afforded in this country. The attractive display in the Indian and Colonial Courts at the Paris Exhibition of 1878 could only be witnessed by a compara-

tively small number of the population of these Islands, millions of whom may be expected to view and profit by the evidence which the Exhibition of 1886 will afford of the marvellous progress made by their fellow-countrymen beyond the seas.

I also trust that this gathering may serve even a higher purpose, and be the means not only of giving a stimulus to commercial interests and intercourse, but of strengthening that Bond of Union between Her Majesty's subjects in all parts of the Empire, the growth and manifestation of which are most sincerely appreciated by us all.

Whilst Her Majesty's Government have given their hearty approval to the objects for which the Commission has been appointed, they have not so far found it desirable to make any definite grant towards it. The Commission have, therefore, to rely entirely upon the public support of the great purposes which the Exhibition is intended to promote; and on the attractive form which it will be the endeavour of all concerned to give to it.

I cannot doubt but that, under such conditions, should no untoward events occur, the project will be more than self-sustaining.

At the same time, it has been thought prudent not to dispense with the usual provision of a Guarantee Fund, though I trust no circumstances may arise rendering it necessary to make any call on the guarantors. To this Fund the Indian and Colonial Governments have made liberal contribu- tions, amounting to £51,000.

I have also to announce with much gratification that the most cordial and generous response has already been made by Corporations, Firms and individuals in the United Kingdom to an invitation to participate in this Guarantee. Although no formal or public appeal has yet been made, and the number invited to contribute to it has so far been limited, the list of subscribers not only embraces those whose interests may be supposed to be specially affected by the Exhibition, but comprehends every class of the community. Though but recently commenced, these further subscriptions already amount to £77,600, making a total Guarantee Fund of £128,600 to the present date.

I feel sure that you will unite with me in the expression of cordial thanks to those who have so promptly and liberally come forward to our assistance. It is a gratifying proof of the interest which exists among all classes at Home and in the outlying countries of the Empire, an l of the desire felt by them to embrace every occasion to promote the common advancement and prosperity of the United Kingdom and its Colonies and Dependencies.

Considering the inconvenience which would have resulted to the Members of the Commission had they been summoned to meet at an earlier date, and in view of the immediate assembling of the various Colonial Legislatures, whose co-operation had to be obtained. I dec ned it necessary, in order that full time might be given for the preparation of contributions, to take certain preliminary steps, which I trust will meet with your approval.

I have accordingly to announce, that arrangements have been made by which the Buildings and Grounds at South Kensington, where the Fisheries and Health Exhibitions were recently held, have been placed at the disposal of this Commission, on fair terms, and the Buildings can be made available for our purposes at a moderate outlay.

I therefore caused plans of these Grounds and Buildings to be prepared showing the space which the Commission could assign to India and to the various Colonies, and the arrangements which were deemed most convenient. These were communicated to the Government of India, to the High Com- missioner for the Dominion of Canada, to the various Agent Genera: of the Colonies, and, through the Colonial Office, to the Crown and other Colonies, an I have met with their approval. Similar commu- nications have been made through the Secretary of State for the Colonies direct to the various Govern- ments, and to the Secretary of State for India with like results.

In the despatch which contained this information, I also stated that it was considered advisable that, in place of any awards being granted by Juries, as has been the case in previous Exhibitions, Commemorative Medals only should be given to each exhibitor. The object in suggesting this change. was, that as some Colonies, from their age and circumstances, were more advanced than others, those in their infancy should not be placed at an undue disadvantage in an Exhibition from which all thoughts of trade rivalry should be excluded.

I am pleased to say that answers have been received which show that the suggestions made on this and other matters have been favourably accepted; and to inform you that the project of holding the Exhibition has been everywhere received with the utmost cordiality.

I trust that these preliminary arrangements may meet with your approval.

I have also to submit for your consideration the general method of administration which I recom- mend should be adopted.

526

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 6ти JUNE, 1885.

As President of the Royal Commission it is my intention personally to take the same active part in the work as I did at the Paris Exhibition of 1878.

The details of the Executive duties will devolve on Sir Philip Cunliffe-Owen, whose ability and experience have so often been tested with satisfactory results, and who has also been entrusted by the Indian Government and certain of our Colonies with Executive duties on their behalf.

I have also thought it desirable to nominate a Finance Committee for the purpose of controlling and regulating the expenditure of the Commission and guarding the interests of the Guarantors. This Committee, it is proposed, shall consist of the following members of the Commission, who have kindly placed their services at my disposal, viz.: Sir John Rose, Bart. (Chairman); Sir George C. M. Birdwood; Mr. Edward Birkbeck; Sir Barrow Helbert Ellis; Sir William Charles Sargeaunt.

I will ask you to confirm the appointment of these gentlemen.

As arrangements advance, it may be necessary for me to recur in matters of special importance to your counsel and aid.

While no effort will be spared to render the Exhibition worthy of the primary objects it is intended to promote, as well as to insure its attractiveness to the Community, the Guarantors may be assured that, subject to the attainment of these ends, no needless outlay will take place but that, on the contrary, the expenditure will be kept within proper and legitimate limits. As an earnest of this endeavour I have directed full and detailed estimates of the different heads of proposed expenditure- guided by the experience of former Exhibitions-to be prepared for submission, first, to the Finance Committee, and subsequently for my own approval.

Though it is impossible to foresee what eventualities may arise, I trust no obstacles may occur to prevent this Exhibition from being, not only self-sustaining, but as successful, financially, as those of late years have been.

It has been suggested that advantage should be taken of the great numbers who will doubtless visit England during the Exhibition from the Colonies and from India, to procure for thein special facilities for visiting the great manufacturing centres and chief places of interest in Great Britain, not only as an expression of welcome, but that they and we may profit by a comparison of their own with the more matured commercial systems of the Mother Country, and that by bringing manufacturers, producers and consumers together, an impetus may be given to the general extension of industry

and trade.

Negotiations are in progress to effect this object which I hope may result, not only in mutual advantage, but in proving to our fellow subjects that they are as welcome elsewhere in Great Britain as I am sure they will be in the Metropolis.

In conclusion, let me express the hope that this great undertaking and the many occasions for friendly intercourse with our fellow subjects from India and the Colonies which it will afford, may convey to them the assurance that, while we are deeply moved by the spirit of patriotism they have lately shown in desiring to bear their share in the graver trials of the country, we on our part wish to participate in every effort to further and develope their material interests, interests which we feel to be inseparably bound up with the prosperity of the Empire. We must remember that, as regards the Colonies, they are the legitimate and natural homes, in future, of the more adventurous and energetic portion of the population of these Islands. Their progress, and their power of providing all that makes life comfortable and attractive, cannot, therefore, but be a matter of serious concern to us all. And, as regards India, the increasing knowledge of that vast Empire and the rapid and easy means of com- munication to all parts of it which now exist, render its remarkable and varied products and its social and political condition a source of yearly increasing interest and importance to us.

For the attainment of the purposes I have indicated, I am sure I may rely on your friendly co- operation and assistance, in your several localities, and within the sphere of your individual influence. Although it has been impossible from the pressure of their duties elsewhere for some members of the Commission to be present at this meeting, I am gratified by the assurance from them that we may none the less rely on their practical and earnest assistance on every occasion in furthering the work which has been entrusted to us, and achieving the important ends which I trust may flow from its successfu! accomplishment.

It only remains for me to express my cordial thanks to you for your kindness in attending how to-day, and my confidence that I shall continue to receive the same measure of support which it has been iny good fortune to obtain from many of you on former occasions.

Sir PHILIP CUNLIFFE-OWEN then read the correspondence relating to the appointment of the Com- mission and the participation of the various colonies. all of which were most willing to take advantag of this opportunity of displaying their resources and progress and gaining a larger knowledge respecting

their sister colonies.

A preliminary list of guarantors was also read, the amount of the guarantee fund being already £128,600.

The EARL OF DERBY said: I have been asked to move a resolution and I do it with great pleasure, but also very briefly, because argument is superfluous where I presume we are all of one mind, and it would be a mere waste of time to relate the circumstances, with which you are no doubt familiar, which should induce you to accept this resolution. There was a time, a few years ago, when it was said ex- hibitions were played out, and that it would be well, for a time at least, to discontinue them. I do not know whether that feeling was ever justified by the facts; it may have represented a passing phase of opinion in London, but it is not the case now. We have had recent experience, and we have seen that, whatever the ostensible objects of the exhibition, whether appliances of health, fisheries, forestry, or whatever the subject may be, the interest that is felt in these exhibitions is unabated, and ever increasing. The numbers frequenting them seem to increase every year, and if they are well conducted there can be no doubt they will be a financial success. If this be true, generally, it is still more likely to be true in the case of the exhibition which is to be held next year. I think we must all see and feel that there never was a time in the history of the country when so deep and general an interest was taken in the affairs of the colonies; and I think also we all feel that, living as we do in a small and overcrowded island, it is both our duty and our interest to do all in our power to bring before the minds of our fellow countrymen those vast countries beyond the sea, in which those who have comparatively small opportunities of making a successful career in this country may have a better chance in another state of society. After the correspondence which has been read, it will not be necessary for me to recapitulate the details of what has passed, especially as His Royal Highness has been kind enough to state what is most important on that point. I will only say that to me, and those with whom I have acted departmentally, and I think I may say the agents of the colonies, it has been a source of pride and satisfaction to be able to help according to the measure of our power in promoting the wishes of His Royal Highness. I think, although the matter is not completed, and therefore it is undesirable to enter into details, that our colonial fellow subjects, both as regards governments and communities, have responded to the appeal made to them in that liberal and patriotic manner we have every reason to expect. You have heard the list of guarantors read: it is, I believe, an ample one for all purposes, and no doubt can be increased if necessary; and looking at the increase interest in colonial affairs, and the way the colonies have taken the matter up, I think there is no doubt that this exhibition will be a great success. The purpose of the resolution I have to propose is that the Royal Commission may endorse the steps taken by His Royal Highness; and I think I may say that no passage in His Royal Highness's address has given so much satisfaction as that in which he gives us an assurance that he will take the same position in this exhibition as in that of 1878.

The EARL OF KIMBERLEY seconded the resolution, and said,-As regards India, I have this exhibition much at heart. There is, perhaps, nothing more desirable for India than that its products and industries should be well known in this country, although we have much more to learn from than to teach them. Their beautiful manufactures which they have produced for so many ages have proved that there is a knowledge of many branches of art which it would be a thousand pities should be diminished under our rule. I have often been struck with the calamity of the introduction of our taste into Eastern arts and manufactures; for their taste is far better than ours, although we have no doubt engineering knowledge and skill and the command of capital; and I cannot conceive of any advantage greater than that the two countries should be brought together. The Government of India will itself undertake the collection and management to a great extent of what is to be sent into this country. You will see from the immense size of our Indian empire, and the position of the Government there, that it is much better this should be taken in hand by the Government. It is a great satisfaction to me to concur entirely with the proposals made by His Royal Highness, and with my noble friend that this exhibition will be a remarkable success.

The following is the resolution, which was carried unanimously :-"That this Commission entirely approves of the arrangements made by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Executive President, and now reported by him in detail; and they desire to convey their cordial thanks to His Royal Highness for the interest he has shown in the undertaking, and their appreciation of the judicious steps taken by him to insure its success. The Commission further desire to express their cordial appreciation of the liberal and gratifying contributions already made to the guarantee fund, and their

warm thanks to the subscribers.

The PRINCE OF WALES-I feel very grateful to Lord Derby for the kind way in which he has moved this resolution, and to Lord Kimberley also for the kind expressions that have fallen from him, and for the hearty and unanimous approval of this Commission, which I look upon as a vote of confidence in myself. I may say that to the utmost of my power and endeavour I will do all I can to further the exhibition, and I feel sure that I shall have the hearty support and concurrence of the distinguished gentlemen of whom I see so many around ine. I thank you again for having listened to the address I read to you. and only hope that no untoward event may occur between now and next year to prevent this resulting in perhaps the finest exhibition that has ever been held.

The meeting then terminated.

As a warning that such steps have been taken, and that no vessel will be permitted to enter Port Phillip Heads between sunset and sunrise, the Point Lonsdale and Queenscliffe high and low lights will be extinguished.

The master or pilot of any vessel entering Port Phillip Heads between sunrise and sunset will be informed by the officer stationed at Queenscliffe whether he may proceed through the channel or whether he must be piloted by a duly licensed pilot, specially instructed.

Immediately after the foregoing lights have been extinguished the following action will be taken :—

The lights in the South and West Channels will also be extinguished.

BUOYS.

The present system of buoyage in the South, West, and Cole's Channels will be either entirely removed or displaced, rendering the navigation therein dangerous, excepting to duly licensed pilots, specially instructed, who alone will be advised of existing dangers, and of the guiding marks which will, from time to time, be established for the purpose of facilitating the safe navigation of such channels during day light.

PILOTAGE.

Vessels prohibited from entering Port Phillip Heads between sunset and sunrise.

No vessel will be permitted to enter Port Phillip Heads between sunset and sunrise. The pilot schooner will be with- drawn from the outside station from sunset to sunrise, but provision will be made for cruising outside and piloting vessels between sunrise and sunset only.

Caution.-Electric Lights.

At the present juncture the Defence Department may at any time exhibit one or more Electric Lights from the vicinities of Queenscliffe and Point Nepean. Such lights will be at least 60 feet below any of the present lights, and must not be taken as guiding lights, as they will be dangerously misleading for navigating purposes, their object being a means of guarding the entrance to Port Phillip.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabet cally arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

18. Where any breach of any of the above regulations is committed, all the persons assisting in any way in the commission of such breach and the master or other person having the control of any vessel or boat on board of which such breach has been committed, or which has been in any way engaged in the commission of such breach shall be severally answerable for such breach, and shall be deemed guilty of the same.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION-No. 261.

It is hereby notified that the Queen's Exequatur, empowering AGOSTINHO GUILHERME ROMANO, Esquire, to act as Consul-General for Portugal at Hongkong, received Her Majesty's signature on the 18th day of May, 1885.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.—No. 262.

The following Finding of the Marine Court, held on the 25th instant, to enquire into the stranding of the Steam-ship Zafiro, Official No. 88,829, ROBERT TALBOT, Master, whose Certificate of Competency is 87,460, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th June, 1885.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

FINDING..

We find that the Steam-ship Zafiro, Official Number 88,829, ROBERT TALBOT, Master, whose Certificate of Competency is No. 87,460, sailed from Hongkong on 4th April last.

That she experienced thick weather during most of the time from leaving until she struck on Simplicia Rocks, Rees Islands, at 7.45 P.M. on April 5th.

That the ship was navigated in a careful manner by the Master, and that he took every necessary precaution by sounding, &c., to verify his position.

That the logs having been lost, and the log slate being illegible, it is not possible to check the assumed position of the ship, and we conclude that the Zafiro experienced an unusual set of the ebb tide to the Westward, which the Master, misled by the soundings obtained, did not make sufficient allowance for.

We are of opinion that no blame attaches to the Master or to any of the Officers of the ship, and further that every effort was made after she struck to save the ship and cargo.

The Zafiro was afterwards floated and brought to Hongkong for repairs. Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 25th day of June, 1885.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kangbi's Imperia] Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th June, 1885.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

Weather Report for September, 1884.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary!

In the China Coast Meteorological Register, based on information transmitted by the Great Northern and the Eastern Extension Telegraph Companies-which I have published daily, is given a summary of the atmospheric circumstances in Manila and along the Coast of China between Haiphong and Shanghai. It also contains information concerning the weather in Nagasaki and Wladivostock and the first appearance and progress of Typhoons.

On the 29th and 30th August a depression travelling towards E passed across Northern China between Shanghai and Chefoo with a NE gale at Shantung Promontory on the latter day. It was perhaps the existence of that depression, that caused the next Typhoon to pass straight northwards, while yet SE of Formosa. On the 30th August I wrote in the China Coast Meteorological Register: "the winds are light at present, but it is probable, that another depression is being formed far in the East." It would appear that Typhoon XI was at the time situated in 16° N, 1281° E or thereabout. It was moving northwards. The barometer had fallen nearly a tenth of an inch at S Cape and also in Manila. In the former place it was calm. In the latter there blew a light WNW breeze. on the 31st it appears to have been in about 19° N, 127° E. The barometer was now falling along the At 10 a. southern coast of China, but no strong winds were recorded. Gentle SW breezes blew in the Formosa Straits. At 10 a. on the 1st it was probably in 23° N, 1260 E. I notified at the time, that it appeared to have moved northwards. The S.S. Thibet at noon on the 1st in 26° 55′ N, 122° 51′ E, experienced a strong N by E breeze, a falling barometer, frequent squalls of wind and rain, and later in the afternoon a high E swell. Early the following morning the wind veered and increased to a fresh gale with furious squalls and a very high sea at 6 a. At noon in 28° 49′ N, 124° 33′ E, a storm blew from NNW but veered quickly through W to SW. In the evening the barometer rose quickly with a whole gale from SW, the squalls were less violent and the sea less high.

In Shanghai and elsewhere the wind was moderate, but it rained in the evening of the 2nd. At the North Saddle Lighthouse it blew a strong NE breeze on the 1st which increased to a moderate NNE gale with mist in the early morning hours of the 2nd. In the afternoon it blew a strong NE gale with wet weather. On the morning of the 3rd the gale backed to W and moderated. In the evening it blew a light SW breeze.

H.M.S. Flying Fish off the SW coast of Corea encountered very heavy squalls with rain on the morning of the 3rd and a fresh NW gale in the afternoon.

At 10 a. on the 2nd the center of the Typhoon must have been about 27° 12′ N, 125° 54′ E, and at 10 a. on the 3rd in 32° 34′ N, 125° 38' E. The Typhoon appears to have then rather suddenly turned towards NE and after skirting the southern coast of Corea to have entered and traversed the Sea of Japan. At 6 a. on the 4th Mr. KNIPPING wrote on the weather map issued from the Imperial Meteorological Observatory, Tokio: 'a depression is moving E in the Southern sea of Japan with the lowest barometer 29.80 at Sakai, etc.,' at 2`p: 'the center of the depression lies off Sado, the barometer falling in the whole E, rising in Western Nippon, etc.,' at 9 p.: 'the center has moved NE and is slightly deeper, Akita reporting the lowest reading 29.65 etc.,' at 6 a. on the 5th: the center has made slow progress, it is near Aomori deeper (29.49) and will probably cross to the E etc.,' at 2 p: 'the center is passing slowly to the E coast (Aomori 29.49) etc.,' at 9 p: 'the depression in N Eastern Nippon has almost disappeared and pressure has risen generally etc.,' From the Tridaily Weathermaps it appears that the center was in 37° 15′ N, 133° 12' E at 6 a. on the 4th, in 38° 40′ N, 137° 0' E at 2 p., in 39° 30′ N, 139° 6′ E at 9 p., in 41° 0′ N, 142° 0′ E at 6 a. on the 5th. It then proceeded eastwards.

Meantime light winds and fine weather reigned over southern China and neighbouring seas. Manila as far as can be judged from the 10 a. and 4 p. telegraphic reports the barometer reached a maximum as early as the 3rd. Fine weather with gentle or moderate WSW breezes prevailed till the 7th, at 4 p. on which day the barometer stood at 29.67. In Hongkong the barometer reached its maximum in the afternoon on the 4th. Light winds with fine but close, oppressive and increasingly hot weather continued afterwards. On the 5th there was a fall of a few hundredths of an inch in the

566 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVE GAZETTE OF 27TH JUNE, 1885.

barometer all over the Far East from Manila to Wladivostock. On the 4th and the 5th gentle E breezes are reported by ships in the China Sea between 12° and 17° N. On the 6th the wind backed to NE in those latitudes, the fall in the barometer continued and is particularly noticeable at S. Cape, where it at 10 a. had fallen 0.08 inches since previous day. A gentic NNE breeze on the 5th increased to a strong breeze at midnight on the 7th and on the morning of the 8th. The weather had been fine and warm but on that day mist and rain set in.

On the 6th I remarked in the China Coast Meteorological Register, that the barometer was falling especially in the SE. The center of Typhoon XII was then East of Manila. At 10 a. on the 7th it may have been in 17° N, 125° E. At the latter hour gentle NE breezes began to prevail along the SE coast of China and c-cum from N were observed the same day in Hongkong.

At 10 a. on the 8th the center appears to have been near the NE.point of Luzon, in about 18° N, 123° E. A strong NNE breeze with misty weather blew at S. Cape, Formosa, a light W breeze with rain in Manila. Fresh northerly breezes with a swell in the sea from NE are reported by ships in the China Sea. Moderate N breezes with detached clouds prevailed in the Formosa Straits. Along the southern coast of China the sky was blue and the barometer had fallen about 0.05 inches. At S. Cape it had fallen 0.20 inches.

At 10 a. on the 9th the center appears to have been in 18° 30′ N, 120° 15′ E. It had apparently taken some time to cross the northern part of Luzon. A moderate NE gale with gloomy weather, mist and rain is reported from S. Cape. A moderate SSW breeze with mist from Manila, where the barometer had fallen to 29.65. Moderate NNW gales and rain with a high sea are reported by ships. between Manila and Hongkong. Fresh NE breezes blew along the SE coast of China, where the barometer had fallen over a tenth of an inch and the sky had become overcast. A fresh NE gale is reported from the northern entrance of the Formosa Straits. The German Bark Johanna, at noon in 17° 41′ N, 115° 37′ E registered the barometer at 29.49 (reduced). By stearing towards SSW, Captain BANNAU avoided the Typhoon.

At 10 a. on the 10th the center appears to have been in 19° 23′ N, 116° 0′ E. A gentle SE breeze with rising barometer, but gloomy and misty weather is reported from S. Cape. A gentle SSW breeze from Manila, where the barometer had risen to 29.80. Strong NE brezes blew in the Formosa Straits, a fresh N gale in Hongkong. Moderate NW breezes with blue sky in Tonquin. At noon the Johanna in 16° 48' N, 116° 48′ E experienced a moderate SSW gale with very high sea and squally weather and barometer 29.61 (reduced). The American ship C. F. Sargent, nearer Hongkong, encountered the full violence of the hurricane, blowing steadily from WNW between 6 p. and midnight. The barometer rose subsequently and the wind blew from SW with moderate force.

At 4 p. on the 10th the center was in 20° 5′ N, 114° 57′ E, moving N-Westward. At about 2 a. next morning it appears to have been within 47 miles SW of Hongkong and to have shortly afterwards passed within about 16 miles SW of Macao. The French Transport Drac at anchor north of St. John's Island was within 38 miles of the center, which passed in the NE, about 5 a., but did not experience above a moderate gale in this sheltered position. While passing between these places the, center appears to have been moving N 33° W at a rate of 34 miles an hour. The isobars appear to

341⁄2 have been elongated in the direction of the track of the center; gradients were evidently much stronger NE of the center, particularly in the part that crossed this Colony. Here some damage was done, particularly on shore, by the heavy rain, notwithstanding the warnings issued.

Those issued in connection with Typhoon XII are set forth in my report of the 24th September (Appendix G). The table appended to that report exhibits the great fall of temperature, which, although principally due to the dense layer of clouds and to the rain, may have been partly effected by the sudden diminution of pressure and consequent expansion of the air, as suggested by HANN in his now famous paper on the change of temperature in ascending currents of air. It is noteworthy, that the relative humidity never rose to saturation in spite of the uninterrupted deluge of rain. The velocity of the wind was tabulated from the anemogram as explained in my Annual Report. It was found impossible to record the hourly direction of the clouds, and unfortunately the upper clouds cannot be observed near the center, owing to the presence and density of the lower clouds which surrounded the center and stretched out to a distance of 350 miles to the W and N of it. The area of heavy rain appears to have reached 160 miles in front of the center, and the fall to have been greatest where the wind was strongest, but not to have extended so far towards SW. In Macao 2.48 inches of rain were measured on the 10th, 6.41 on the 11th and 1.27 on the 12th.

The angle of the wind with the gradient or rather with the straight line between the observer and the center was 32° in the advancing semicircle and 57° in the rear. The mean of all the observa- tions discussed was 44°. This agrees with the result obtained from the typhoon of the 22nd August, but could in this instance not be so accurately determined as in case of that typhoon. The angle being so much smaller in front than in the rear would at first sight seem abnormal, but it should be remembered, that the winds in front were on the whole off-shore winds, and therefore subject t› greater friction than the winds behind the center, which on the whole had passed over a great expan of ocean and were subject to less friction. The off-shore winds may also have been to some extent influenced by the Canton River.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 27TH JUNE, 1885. 567

The following meteorological observations were made in Macao, where the sky remained densely overcast during the entire course of the disturbance. The central calm must therefore in this instance have been very limited in extent:--

On the 10th a fresh NE gale was felt throughout the day with gloomy and wet weather and a heavy sea at Breaker Point and during the latter part of the day even in Swatow with uninterrupted rain, though only an inch was collected at 9 a. on the 11th. From the lighthouses in the compara- tively narrow northern entrance of the Formosa Straits a fresh NNE breeze on the 7th increased to a fresh or strong NE gale on the 9th. The NE gale decreased in force in the morning on the 10th. There does not appear to have fallen much rain so far north of the center but these registers exhibit another instance of the force of NE winds consequent on the passage of a typhoon several hundred miles to the south. The Straits at all times exercise a powerful deflecting influence on the direction of the wind, which is evidently increased by the chain of high mountains running from north to south in Formosa. Along the southern coast of China fresh or strong winds blow straight from East under . similar circumstances...

The strongest wind reported from Takow was a strong SSE gale at 3 h. 30 m. p. on the 10th. This station is however particularly unfavourably situated for observations of the wind, which appears very local. From Fisher Island no wind above a fresh breeze and apparently not much rain is reported.

From Kiungchow, Hainan, the lowest barometer is reported on the morning of the 11th with gloomy weather. The wind, a strong W breeze, reached at the same time its maximum, but no rain till later in the day is reported. A fresh or strong NNW breeze is at the same time reported from Pakhoi and a moderate NW breeze with blue sky and remarkable dryness in the air from Haiphong.

563 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 27th JUNE, 1885.

At 10 a. on the 11th the center appears to have been in 22° 52′ N, 112° 33′ E, but by this time the disturbance had lost the character of a typhoon. From Manila and from ships in the China Sea a gentle SW breeze accompanied by rain was reported. Gentle E breezes with overcast weather prevailed in the Straits of Formosa and along the const as far north as Shanghai, in which place the barometer continued high. At S. Cape the breeze was NE and the weather fine. The disturbance appears about this time to have taken a northern course, but no strong winds or unusually heavy rain are reported from inland stations. As early as the 8th I forecast in the Ching Coast Meteorologica Register, that this typhoon would move northwards, and in answer to enquiries I stated on the following day, that ships might safely leave for Singapore or Tonquin, but that they would run some danger if steering towards E or NE, and that especially the Formosa Straits were likely to be visited by strong winds and high sea.

At 10 a. on the 12th the center may have been about 26° N, 113° E and at 10 a. on the 13th in 29° N, 116° E, but it is almost impossible to trace its whereabouts on these days. On the 12th a strong NE breeze with drizzling rain and wet weather next day was experienced in Kiukiang.

At 10 a. on the 14th the center appears to have been about 31° 14′ N, 120° 5' E. At 6 a. a gentle NW breeze with rain blew at Wulu, where the barometer had fallen nearly 0.2 inches in the previous 24 hours. At Chinkiang, where it had fallen nearly as much, a moderate NE breeze with overcast and wet weather was registered at the same hour. The typhoon passed north of Shanghai- within perhaps 30 miles--later in the day and proceeded then towards east, as shown by the following observations. On the morning of the 15th another typhoon, whose course may have been influenced by Typhoon XII, made its appearance in the sea south of Hiogo in Japan.

The barometer-readings at the four lighthouses have been corrected and reduced to 32° and to Se Level or very nearly to Sea Level, according to data supplied by the Imperial Maritime Customs of China. The index-corrections have not been determined by comparison with the standards at this Observatory. The Sicawei observations have been copied from one of the newspapers published in Shanghai.

Already in the early morning hours on the 11th the wind at S. Cape (Formosa) was backing towards NE, from which direction it then continued to blow for three days varying between a light air and a gentle breeze. The barometer reached a maximum on the 11th and fell then slowly till the 14th, when it had fallen about 0.15 inches in three days. At the same time the temperatur? was rising slowly. On the 12th a fresh NE breeze was encountered in the northern entrance to t Formosa Straits. The barometer began to fall and rain set in in Manila, where a light SW breeze wa blowing. At 4 p. on the 13th a strong WSW breeze with close, misty and wet weather was report from there. The barometer had reached a minimun, 29.73 inches. At the same hour next day a frigh SW breeze was reported. The barometer had then fallen several hundredths of an inch along th southern coast of China, where detached clouds with rain in places and variable winds were observe

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 27TH JUNE, 1885. 569

On the 15th the barometer rose at all these stations, SW breezes prevailed except is southern Formosa, where the breeze came from NW. By this time Typhoon XIII had made its appearance in southern Japan. It has been investigated by Mr. KNIPPING, who considers, that it did not come from the sea developed but grew in the immediate vicinity of the coast. Now it is evident from the data mentioned above, that it came from the south and that it passed northwards, while still far to the East of Formosa, but it is very likely that it did not develope itself fully till near the coast of Japan. It is possible, that its course was influenced by the progress of Typhoon XII on the mainland, although that Typhoon was then in a very feeble condition.

The weather-maps published at barometric changes had been slight. or slight rain on the south coast. generally fair weather were expected.

Tokio on the 14th show only a slight general gradient and the The temperature was rather high all over Japan with rain-clouds Elsewhere the weather was mostly clear. Variable winds and

Nine hours later, at 6 a. on the 15th, a very deep depression was off Kii peninsula with steep gradients and a fall of 0.55 inches at Wakayama, the station nearest the centre and yet about 50 miles away from it. The centre appears to have been in 33° 10′ N, 135° 43′ E. The lowest reading of the

arometer reported was 27.87 at 11 h. 30 m. a.

At 2 p. on the 15th, the centre was in 35° 35′ N, 139° 0′ E. It took the central calm 4 minutes to pass across Hamamatsu, from which Mr. KNIPPING concludes, that its diameter was 2 nautical miles. At 9 p. the centre was in 38° 0′ N, 141° 50′ E.

After the passage of this storm the pressure remained rather low in the west, and the temperature rather high in the whole south, and before the damage done to the telegraph lines could be repaired, a second storm approached Kiushiu.

At 10 a. on the 15th, I wrote in the China Coast Meteorological Register: The Typhoon appears to have recurved inland in China, to have re-entered the sea north of Shanghai and to be moving towards Japan, but its energy seems to be expended,' and I have no doubt, that the storm then approaching western Japan was identical with Typhoon XII, that had raged in Hongkong on the 11th, and that it regained its energy over the sea.

It must be confessed, that its course across the sea from Shanghai to Nagasaki was remarkably slow, but this may have been caused by the anticyclonic area following in the wake of Typhoon XIII. There seem to be no observations available for the more minute investigation of its passage across the sea. It is to be hoped, that observations from Port Hamilton will in similar cases in future remedy that defect.

At 2 p. on the 16th, the centre was evidently west of Kiushiu and was moving slowly eastward. At 6 a. on the 17th, it appears to have been in 32° 10′ N, 129° 30′ E. Mr. KNIPPING wrote: 'A depression has appeared in the W, with a heavy fall of pressure in Kiushiu, a decided rise on part of the Southern and Eastern coast; readings ranging from 30.04 inches on the Eastern coast to 29.53 at Saga. Easterly winds, strong in the extreme W, prevail with cloudy weather, fog on the NW coast, slight rain in Kiushiu.'

At 2 p. on the 17th, the centre was in 33° 40′ N, 131° 0′ E. Mr. KNIPPING wrote: 'The barometer has fallen at all stations, much in the W; with mostly Easterly winds and cloudy weather, some rain.` At 9 p. the centre was in 34° 20′ N, 133° 30′ E and at Ga. on the 18th in 35° 30′ N, 138° 0' E. There fell much rain in central Japan. At 2 p. in the afternoon it had passed into the Pacific.

Both these storms were unusually severe and winds blowing with full typhoon force are stated to have been encountered. The S. S. City of Tokio from San Francisco to Yokohama, encountered 1400 miles east of Tokio in 35°. 4 N, 170°. 4 E, on the 27th September a strong southern gale backing through E to N with the barometer down to 29.37 and Mr. KxIPPING states, that if this should

prove to have been the same storm, its progress in the Pacific was much less than in Japan, namely 6 or 7 nautical miles per hour, while its rate of progress on the 17th was about 20 miles and on the 18th about 30 miles per hour.

Meantime gentle winds and fine weather had reigned over Southern China. The barometer reached its maximum 29.95 at 10 a. on the 17th in Manila and the same day also at S. Cape. The gentle W breeze, which blew in the latter place the previous day had veered to NE and increased in force during the following days. The weather was fine. SW breezes appear to have continued over Luzon till the morning of the 19th, when a gentle NW breeze and detached clouds were reported from Bolinao. I notified in the morning, that it was possible that a new depression was approaching from the East. Moderate E breezes prevailed along the southern coast of China, fresh NE breezes in the Straits and N breezes in the neighbourhood of Shanghai.

On the morning of the 19th a moderate NE breeze blew at S. Cape and the weather became misty with passing showers of rain. In the evening a fresh NW gale was reported from Bolinao and a strong NE breeze blew at S. Cape. Rain fell in both places and shocks of earthquakes were felt in At 10 a. the centre of Typhoon XIV must have been about 16° N, 124 E and at 10 a. on the 20th in 18° N, 1221° E. At the latter hour a strong WNW gale with overcast weather was

reported from Bolinao. The weather continued bad at S. Cape with a strong NE breeze, which increased to a fresh NNE gale during the following night. Strong NE breezes were registered in the northern part of the Formosa Straits. The lowest reading of the barometer reported from Manila is 29.71 at 4 p. on the 19th and the 20th.

At 10 a. on the 21st I notified, that the Typhoon had entered the China Sea through the Bashee Channel and appeared to be moving towards the Straits of Formosa. It is now seen, that at the time the centre must have been situated in 21° 7′ N, 121° 16′ E. It appears, that it then proceeded towards NNW passing east of the lighthouse at S. Cape, to which it approached within about ten miles shortly after noon. It crossed the plain along the western coast of Formosa and entered the Straits about 7 p. when it went northwards. It passed east of Takow about 4 p. and was east of Foochow about 5 à. next morning, after which it went towards NNE..

The following observations were made in the harbours and at the lighthouses. The barometer at S. Cape was a sluggish and unsatisfactory instrument, which has since been replaced by a standard barometer verified by comparison with the instruments at this Observatory. The registers from Matsou and Keelung were kept on board the French men-of-war Triomphante and Duguay Trouin. I have determined and applied corrections to the barometer readings as well as possible from available data but the result is not satisfactory.

The isobars may have been approximately circular in shape. It appears that a strong gale corresponded to a gradient of O. 033 inches in 15 nautical miles. But at several stations west of the centre in the Straits the N gales continued to blow after the passage of the centre, the wind backing subsequently. The wind formed on an average an angle of 65° with the gradient. It was much less in the advancing semi-circle (about 40°) than in the rear (about 90°) owing to the steadiness of the northerly winds.

From observations made on the S. S. Thibet and the S. S. Telemachus it is seen that the lower clouds came from about the same direction as the wind; but their direction did not hang so long about North as the surface winds. The former ship, which passed through the Straits on the 21st, encoun- tered a storm from NNW at midnight. The sea was very high, the rain heavy and continuous and the squalls fierce.

Meantime fresh SW breezes blew in the China Sea, where the weather was fine. the 22nd, the center appears to have been in 26° 23′ N, 121° 3′ E, and to have been moving towards NNE along the Coast. I wrote in the China Coast Meteorological Register: The typhoon has entered the Straits of Formosa, and is moving northwards. It appears to be very dangerous, and will probably now recurve towards Japan passing North of Formosa.'

The following observations were made in Ningpo, where it began to rain early in the morning on the 21st.

The isobars on the 23rd may have been approximately circular in shape. It appears that a strong breeze corresponded to a gradient of 0.024 inches in 15 miles. The wind formed on an average an angle of 74° with the gradient. It is, for want of observations in the right hand semi-circle, not possible to determine with accuracy the angle in different quadrants. But it may have been about 59° in the advancing semi-circle and 89° in the rear. The disturbance was much shallower than on the 21st. The lowest barometer on the 23rd being about 29.50 instead of about 29.00, to which the barometer probably fell on the 21st. The incurvature of the wind appears also to have decreased as the Typhoon passed northwards.

At 10 a. on the 24th the centre appears to have been situated about 32° N, 126° E. At the NE Shantung Promontory a fresh E breeze on the 23rd increased to a strong breeze on the 24th. During, the following night it backed to N, and blew a strong NNE breeze at 3 p. on the 25th, after which it decreased in strength. Passing showers were registered on that day.

At Chefoo a gentle NE breeze on the 23rd backed to N on the 25th and to NW on the 26th. The weather was fine, but at Taku it rained on the 25th.

At Newchwang the wind was NNE between the 24th and the 27th. It blew a strong NNE breeze at 7 a. on the 25th.

At 10 a. on the 25th the centre appears to have been in 38° N, 132° E and at 10 p. in

4010 N 126 E. The barometer at Wladivostock fell to 29.80 at 4 p. The weather was overcast and wet with a gentle N breeze. In Japan cloudy and rainy weather prevailed. At 10 a. on the 26th the centre was about 44° N, 139° E.

Over southern China the sky was blue, the barometer rising and light W and NW breezes were blowing on the 23rd and the 24th. In Manila the barometer reached its maximum 29.97 at 10 a. o the 24th. A light air from SW was reported but at 10 a. next morning the wind had veered to NW and blew a gentle breeze at Bolinao. Fine weather was reported from Luzon but it rained in Formosa. Light NE breezes with overcast skies were observed in the Straits. At 10 a. on the 26th the baromete was still falling over Luzon. A moderate N breeze is reported from Bolinao. Heavy rain was

from Manila, where the barometer as far as can be gathered from the telegraphic reports reached its minimum 29.80 at 4 p. At sea west of Luzon a hard gale and a heavy sea were encountered. In the north of China the weather was fine and the winds light. Detached clouds were registered in southern China and it rained in Formosa. At 10 a. on the 27th light ESE and SE breezes were reported from Luzon, where the barometer had risen. Moderate E or NE breezes blew along the southern coast of China, where the sky was partly overcast. the China sea NE gales and a rough sea were encountered as also on the following day. From these On the 28th fresh or strong NE breezes prevailed and in data it may safely be concluded, that a depression, which passed south of Manila on the evening of the 26th, entered the China Sea, but whether it was accompanied by winds blowing with Typhoon force and how long it lasted cannot be ascertained from the meagre data available. Most likely it was of but short duration as it entered the sea is such a low latitude,

Table IV exhibits the Mean Relative Humidity in percentage of saturation (the humidity of air saturated with moisture being 100) and Mean Tension of Aqueous Vapour present in the air expressed in inches of mercury, for every hour in the day and for every day in the month. The Mean Tension, which exhibits a small daily variation, was 0.811. The Mean Relative Humidity, which exhibits a great daily variation, was 76.

Table V exhibits the Duration of Sun-shine as registered by aid of the Sun-shine Recorder from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Sun shone 238.1 hours during the

month.

Table VI exhibits the amount of Rain registered from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Total Rain-fall during the month was 12.370 inches. It rained during 49 hours. The greatest Hourly Rain-fall was 1.190 at 7 p. on the 10th.

Table VII exhibits, for every hour in the day, the Velocity of the Wind and its Direction in numbers (8=E, 16—S, 24—W, 32N) as measured from the Anemograms. The Velocity is the number of miles traversed by the Wind, from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Direction is read off at the hour, except when the Wind is very light and changeable, when the average Direction during the hour is estimated, taking into account the Velocity from different quarters. The Direction is not noted when the Velocity is below 1.5 miles an hour.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

Weather Report for October, 1884.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

During the greater part of the month, fresh NE winds with occasional squalls prevailed over the northern part of the China Sea. A typhoon of very limited extent came up from the East, and passed southern Luzon on the 26th in about 13° N latitude. The barometer readings reported from Manila reached a maximum 30.03 at 10 a. on the 23rd. The sky was then blue. The following day a light air blew from NE and clouds came up. On the 25th signs of the typhoon approaching were noticed by the mariners. At 10 a. on the 26th the height of the barometer reported from Manila was 29.85. The weather was squally and misty. At this time the centre of the typhoon was nearly due south of Manila. At 4 p. a gentle breeze blew from E. Southerly winds were felt on board ships south of Luzon. The typhoon passed westward and disappeared in the evening. At 10 a. on the 27th the height of the barometer was 29.95 and one or two tenths of an inch of rain had fallen in Manila. During the afternoon, the wind veered to the South blowing in Manila with the force of a light air, and at Bolinao with the force of a light breeze. On the 28th and following days the sky was blue. No reference to this typhoon was made in the China Coast Meteorological Register.

The Barograph and the Standard Barometer at the Observatory are placed at 110 feet above Mean Sea Level. The bulbs of the Therinograph Thermometers are 111 feet above Mean Sea Level and 6 feet above the ground. They are exposed in an unpainted and double-louvered zinc screen fixed to the north wall of the main building in a shaded position. The Solar Radiation Maximum Thermome- ter is 109 feet above Mean Sea Level and 4 feet above the ground, and the Terrestrial Radiation Minimum Thermometer is about one inch above the ground. The self-recording Rain-gauge is placed 106 feet above Mean Sea Level, and the rim, which is 114 inches in diameter, is 21 inches above the ground. The cups of the Anemograph are 45 feet above the ground, and 150 feet above Mean Sea Level.

out.

At Victoria Peak the Instruments, except the Radiation Thermometers, are placed in the Look- The Barometer is 1821 feet above Sea Level. The bulbs of the Thermometers are about 4 feet above the floor, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher. The Radiation Thermometers are placed at the same height above the ground as at the Observatory. At Cape d'Aguilar the Thermometers are placed about 170 feet above Sea Level (according to the Government Gazette) in a wooden screen 2 feet above the ground, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher.

Table I exhibits the hourly readings of the height of the Barometer reduced to 32° .0 Fahrenheit, but not to Sea Level, as measured (at two minutes to the hour named) from the Barograms. The Mean Height of the Barometer was 29.920, the Highest was 30.102 at 9 a. on the 23rd, and the Lowest was 29.730 at 3 a. on the 2nd. The Barometric Tide amounted to 0.083.

Table II exhibits the hourly readings of the Temperature (Dry Bulb Thermometer) as measured from the Thermograms (at two minutes past the hour named), and also the Extreme Temperatures during the day. The Mean Temperature was 77.2, the Highest was 86.2 at 3 p. on the 5th., and the Lowest was 67.6 at about 6a. on the 16th.

614 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 11TH JULY, 1885.

Table IV exhibits the Mean Relative Humidity in percentage of saturation (the humidity of air saturated with moisture being 100) and Mean Teusion of Aqueous Vapour present in the air expressed in inches of mercury, for every hour in the day and for every day in the month. The Mean Tension, which exhibits a small daily variation, was 0.698. The Mean Relative Humidity, which exhibits a great daily variation, was 74.

Table V exhibits the Duration of Sun-shine as registered by aid of the Sun-shine Recorder from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Sun shone 238.9 hours during the

month.

Table VI exhibits the amount of Rain registered from half an hour before to half an hour after. the hour named. The Total Rain-fall during the month was 3.085 inches. It rained during 26 hours. The greatest Hourly Rain-fall was 0.730 at 11 a. on the 1st.

Table VII exhibits, for every hour in the day, the Velocity of the Wind and its Direction in numbers (8-E, 16-S, 24-W, 32=N) as measured from the Anemograms. The Velocity is the number of miles traversed by the Wind, from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Direction is read off at the hour, except when the Wind is very light and changeable, when the average Direction during the hour is estimated, taking into account the Velocity from different quarters. The Direction is not noted when the Velocity is below 1.5 miles an hour.

The Mean Velocity was 15.1 miles an hour. It was greatest during the middle of the day. The greatest Velocity, 37 miles, occurred at 11 a. on the 1st.

The Total Distance travelled by, as well as the Duration and average Velocity of Winds from different quarters were as follows:-

Table VIII exhibits, for every hour in the day, the Velocity of the Wind reduced to 4 and also to 2 Directions, as well as the Mean Direction of the Wind, which exhibits a regular daily variation.

Table IX exhibits the Direction (to two points) and Force of the Wind (0-12) at Victoria Peak. The Average Force of the Wind was 4 corresponding to 23 miles an hour. The Sea Disturbance (0-9) exhibited in the same table has been derived from observations made at Cape d'Aguilar.

Table X exhibits the Amount (0-10), Name 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. The Mean Direction of the Lower Clouds was E, and of the Higher, W. On an average 39 per cent of the sky was clouded.

Table XI and XII exhibit the readings of the Barometer reduced to 32.0 Fahrenheit but not to Sea Level, at Victoria Peak, and the Thermometers at Victoria Peak and at Cape d'Aguilar.

The Mean Height of the Barometer at the Peak was 28.196. The Mean Temperature was 69.8 at the Peak and 76.7 at Cape d'Aguilar, the Highest was 77.3 on the 6th at the Peak and 86.3 on the same day at Cape d'Aguilar, and the Lowest was 59.0 on the 22nd and 23rd, at the Peak, and 67.6 on the 16th and 21st at Cape d'Aguilar.

The Mean Temperature in Hongkong decreased one degree Fahrenheit for every 236 feet ascended. Table XIII exhibits the Relative Humidity as determined from observations of the Dry and Damp Bulb Thermometers. The Mean Relative Humidity at the Observatory was 74, at Cape d'Aguilar 81, and at Victoria Peak 86. These numbers are reduced to the mean of the 24 hours by aid of Table IV. The Least Relative Humidity registered was 28 at the Observatory, 46 at Cape d'Aguilar, and 44 at Victoria Peak.

Table XIV exhibits the Tension of Aqueous Vapour at the Observatory and at the Peak. The Mean Tension was 0.698 at the Observatory, and 0.632 at the Peak. The Greatest Tension registered was 0.906 at 4 p. on the 3rd, at the Observatory, and 0.819 at 10 a. on the 5th at the Peak. The Least Tension was 0.265 at 10 a. and 4 p. on the 22nd at the Observatory, and 0.291 at 10 a. on the same day at the Peak.

Table XV exhibits the amount of Rain measured at 10 a. on the following day, and the duration of Precipitation at the Observatory. The greatest amount fell on the 1st when it rained 1.960 at the Observatory, 1.41 at Stone Cutters' Island, and 1.45 at the Peak.

Faint lightning was observed on the evenings of the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 13th.

On the 14th slight thunderstorms passed over at 1.30 p. and 3.15 p.

Unusual visibility was noticed on the 5th, the 11th, the 20th and the 21st.

Dew fell in the evening on the 5th, the 6th, the 8th, the 29th, and the 31st.

FINDING.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

We find that the British Steam-ship Welcombe, Official No. 89,524, WILLIAM REGINALD CORFIELD, Master, whose Certificate of Competency as Extra Master is No. 04,373, sailed from Saigon on 25th April, 1885, bound for the Pescadores Islands.

That nothing of importance occurred until the evening of the 1st May, when the ship struck on a rock near Fisher Island, Pescadores.

We are of opinion that the ship was being navigated with all due care by the Master.

We find that the rock on which the Welcombe struck is not marked on the Charts nor mentioned in the China Sea Directory, Vol. III, (1884).

We are of opinion that no blame attaches to the Master or to any of the Officers, and further that all necessary precaution was taken after the accident for the preservation of the ship.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 17th day of July, 1885.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION. --No. 287.

The following Report, by the Government Astronomer, on the Progressive Motion of Typhoons in 1884, is published for general information.

By Cominand,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th July, 1885.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

ON THE PROGRESSIVE MOTION OF TYPHOONS IN 1884.

Hongkong is situated in the region of the trades, but the winds are greatly affected by the neighbouring continents, principally by the immense Asiatic mainland, but to some extent also by Australia,--the influence of which is the cause of the monsoons. Thus we find, that although the average direction of the wind here is E,-a direction to some extent caused by the trend of the coast, it still exhibits a regular annual variation.

The air is impelled from a region where the barometric pressure is higher, towards one where it is lower, its motion being however deflected toward the right in the northern hemisphere, owing to the rotation of the earth.-In winter, when the pressure is high over China and low over Northern Australia, E or NE winds blow almost without interruption over the China Sea. In spring, when the barometer is falling over Southern Asia, the direction of the wind veers toward S and reaches SW, when about midsummer the lowest pressure lies over Central Asia and a high pressure over Australia. In autumn the direction of the wind backs by degrees to NE.

The SW monsoon does not however blow so steadily as the NE monsoon, possibly because the summer area of low pressure is not so regular as the winter area of high pressure in Asia, and the Easterly trade wind, supported by the-at that season-comparatively high pressure over the North Pacific, intrudes even in midsummer.

It is explained in the "Annual Weather Report for 1884," how the changes in the height of the barometer increase with the latitude. North of Hongkong the barometric pressure is subject to much greater changes than south of it. In consequence the E wind in winter increases in force with a rising barometer, and the SW wind in summer increases in force with a falling barometer, except in the presence of a typhoon.

During the winter season depressions originate within the area of Asia, which is covered by the high pressure, and pass Eastward. These are analogous to the depressions, which originate in Nebraska and cross the Atlantic, and which also have their maximum frequency and intensity in winter. Those depressions lie outside the field of our investigations, and will no doubt continue to have the attention of the Observatories in the North of China.

The typhoons appear to have their origin E or SE of the Philippines in the trough of low pressure between the two high-pressure areas in the North Pacific and in Australia. Their paths are determined according to the law, first enunciated by the Rev. CLEMENT LEY, according to which an atmospheric depression moves so as to keep the high-pressure area on its right. This law was origin- ally proved only in the case of depressions in the neighbourhood of the United Kingdom, but it applies equally to the typhoons. Now the application of this law would greatly facilitate forecasts concerning the progress of a typhoon, if the telegraphic information were sufficient to give a correct idea of the position and shape of the area or areas of high pressure, as it is known, that these are subject to comparatively little change.

•

Typhoons may be divided into three classes according to the paths, which they generally follow. No doubt abnormal instances will occasionally present themselves, in China as well as in other coun- tries, but probably they will be of rare occurrence.

The first class of typhoons is common at the beginning and at the end of the typhoon season. Typhoons belonging to this class cross the China Sea, and pass either in a WNW direction from the neighbourhood of Luzon towards Hainan and Tonquin, as Typhoons II and V, or, if pressure is high over Siam and Annam, they pass first Westward and subsequently SWestward, as Typhoon XVIII.— Their life is generally between 5 and 6 days.

The second class of typhoons is perhaps the most frequently encountered, and their paths can be traced the farthest. They generally move NWestward in the neighbourhood of Luzon, and recurve towards NE in about 26°or rather between 22° and 32°,-northern latitude. They either strike the coast before recurving, as Typhoons III, IV*, IX and XII, in which case they generally at once lose the character of tropical hurricanes, or travel along the coast up through the Straits of Formosa,

* Typhoon IV struck the coast travelling NWestward, but passed North of Formosa, which appears to be an unusual path. It is remark- ito note, how Typhoons III and IV struck the coast near Fouchow, Typhoon IX in a lower latitude near Swatow, and Typhoon XII lower ill, near Macao.

640 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 18TH JULY, 1885.

as Typhoons I and XIV. After recurving, they generally cross Japan or the Sea of Japan, or strike the coast of Corea. These paths are explained simply according to CLEMENT LEY'S law-while SW of the high pressure in the North Pacific they pass NWestward, when arrived W of it, they pass Northward, and when arrived NW of it, they pass NEastward, and no doubt subsequently Eastward, if their energy is not expended, before they are N of the area. They are common about the middle of the typhoon season, and their life is on an average 7 days.

Typhoons of the third class are possibly the most common, but it appears that they are less frequently encountered, and therefore perhaps often escape observation. They pass E of Formosa moving Northward. After recurving they frequently skirt the Southern Coast of Japan, or enter and traverse the Sea of Japan, as Typhoons VI, X, XI and XIII. A typhoon of this class frequently follows after one of the second class. When the latter has recurved, the former proceeds Northward. This is explained by the circumstance, that the effective low-pressure area in Asia,-the preceding typhoon, is then in fact considerably E of its normal position. It is also well known, that depressions are attracted towards places, which have just been traversed by a depression.-Their life is of uncer- tain duration.

Typhoons of the fourth class pass S of Luzon, moving apparently Westward or first Westward, and then SWestward. They are perhaps not uncommon, but are really situated outside the field of our investigations. They appear in some respects to differ from typhoons of the other classes, and I believe, that they are accompanied by thunderstorms. They are situated in so low a latitude, that the effect of the earth's rotation is much less than in case of other typhoons, and as they appear to quickly approach the equatorial belt, they form perhaps a link between typhoons proper, and the atmospheric disturbances in that neighbourhood, which are unconnected with rotating winds.--Their life appears to be between one and two days.

The average velocity of the typhoons of 1884 was as follows:-E of Luzon : 7 nautical miles an hour. In the China Sea between 12° and 18° N: 6 miles an hour. In the China Sca between Hong- kong, Luzon and Southern Formosa: 11 miles an hour. About Hainan: 13 miles an hour. E of Formosa: 10 miles an hour. In the Formosa Straits: 12 miles an hour. In Kwangtung, Fokien and Kiangsi 10 miles an hour. About Shanghai: 12 miles an hour. In Northern China: 23 miles an hour. About Japan: 19 miles an hour. In the Sea of Japan: 30 miles an hour.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial | Dictionary, coutains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

Weather Report for November, 1884.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

In the China Coast Meteorological Register, based on information transmitted by the Great Northern and the Eastern Extension Telegraph Companies-which I have published daily, is given a summary of the atmospheric circumstances in Manila and along the Coast of China between Hongkong and shanghai. It also contains information concerning the weather in Nagasaki and Wladivostock, and the first

appearance and progress of Typhoons.

In the beginning of November moderate NE winds blew over the China Sea. The barometer was rising and fine weather prevailed. In Manila, the barometer reached a maximum 30.03 at 10 a. on the 12th. The weather was hot but fine and dry over Luzon, and only light airs were reported. At 4 p. a gentle N breeze was reported from Bolinao. At 10 a. on the 13th, the barometer had fallen to 29.97 in Manila, where it was overcast and showery with a light air from NW. From the log of the S.S. Woosung, passing through the Mindoro Sea bound for Hongkong, it became subsequently kuown, that a typhoon (Typhoon XVII) was at the time passing Westward in a latitude of about 11° North. This steamer had on the previous day experienced moderate N winds and a smooth sea, but thunderstorms accompanied with heavy rain. During the night the sky was overcast, and on the morning of the 13th a NW wind increasing in force was noted. It backed and reached SW at 1.30 P., when it blew a whole gale with a confused sea and heavy rain. At the same time the barometer fell to 29.52, the lowest reading reported. It appears, that the steamer must have been within 30 miles of the centre, whose position at 10 a. was about 11° N, 123° E. The barometer rose then and reached 29.85 at p., when the wind had calmed down to a fresh SSE breeze, but the weather continued showery. Strong NE breezes with squalls of wind and rain, a rising sea and a windy appearance of the sky are reported by ships west of the centre in the China Sea, as far as the shores of Cochin-China, and between 7 and 16° N latitude. Moderate E and NE breezes with fine weather, but a rather high sea prevailed over the northern part of the China Sea. The area of strong wind was rather limited at the time.

At 10 a. on the 14th, the centre appears to have been about 12° N, 116° E. The S.S. Danube, which was within 40 or 50 miles to the NNE of the centre, at midnight encountered the full force of the typhoon. The barometer went down to 29.63. The sea was something frightful and the rain fell The temperature was 81°. By this time the typhoon appears to have attained its greatest violence, and also greater dimensions. At about 10 a. on the 15th, it appears to have been about 15° N, 1094° E, and to have struck the coast of Cochin-China near Cape Batangan.

in torrents.

In northern Luzon gentle E breezes blew on the 15th and the 16th, at 4 p. en which day how- ver a gentle NNE breeze was reported from Bolinao. The sky was blue. At 10 a. on the 16th, the arometer reached a maximum 30.01 in Manila, and also in southern Formosa, where NE breezes had Blown steadily since the beginning of the month. At 10 a. on the 17th, the barometer had fallen to .95 in Manila. The air was misty over Luzon and southern Formosa. At that time Typhoon AVIII was ESE of Manila in 14° N, 125° E or thereabout. The barometer continued falling. In linao a gentle NW breeze, reported in the morning, increased steadily and it blew a strong NNW Breeze with detached clouds in the early morning hours on the 18th. At 10 a. on the 18th, it blew fresh N gale in Bolinao, and a fresh WNW gale in Manila, where the barometer had fallen to 29.44, the temperature had fallen several degrees. The centre of the typhoon appears to have been in 530′ N, 121° 33' E. At S. Cape, the air was misty, the sky densely overcast, and the NE breeze

shened in the course of the day. Next day a fresh NE gale was registered.

I wrote in the China Coast Meteorological Register: "The barometer has fallen. A violent typhoon East of Bolinao moving Westward. Overcast and hazy weather with light winds prevails.' At 40 p. on the 18th the Drum was hoisted, and at 12h 30m. p. on the following day, it was replaced the South Cone. During the day a moderate NNE gale blew at Bolinao, where the sky became reast, with drizzling rain in the evening. A strong S breeze was reported from Manila at 4 p. barometer had then risen to 29.61, but continued falling in Bolinao. Between 1h 30m a. and 4 a. the 19th, the wind is described as 'terrific' by the Superintendent of the Telegraph Office in inao. At 5 a. the barometer had fallen to 29.43 with a fresh E gale. The weather continued east, wet and squally. Considerable damage to life and property attended the passage of this phoon across Luzon.

650 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 25тn JULY, 1885.

A moderate ESE gale was At 10 a. on the 19th, the centre was in 15° 19′ N, 118° 40′ E. reported from Bolinao. A fresh NE gale blew at S. Cape (Formosa), where the sky was overcast. Moderate E and NE breezes blew along the Coast of China, and c-cum from S were observed in Hong kong. Strong NW breezes or moderate gales are reported by ships W and SW of the typhoon.

At 10 a. on the 20th, the centre was in 15° 45′ N, 116° 16′ E, and at 10 a. on the 21st in 14° 52′ N, 114° 10′ E. On the latter day it blew a strong gale 250 miles NE of the centre, and a whole gale 350 miles SW of the centre. Rain fell in squalls, 300 miles NW of the centre. It raini continuously within 100 miles of the centre, and the rain fell in torrents within 50 miles. Within about 60 miles at the centre the wind blew with typhoon force, and within 10 miles the air was calm. The S.S. Benarty, which was in the central calm at 6 a. on the 20th reports, that many small birds dropped on deck, but makes no mention of the sky clearing at the time. The sea was mountainous and confused. This steamer lost its funnel and sustained other great damage.

The isobars appear, as far as can be judged from the observations, to have been elliptical, the major axes being situated in about the line of progression of the centre. In front the wind made an angle with the gradients of 62° in the right hand quadrant, and 52° in the left hand quadrant, or on an average 57°. In rear the wind made an angle of 29° in the right hand quadrant, and probably about the same in the left hand quadrant, but here no ships' logs are available. These results are derived from the observations within 250 miles of the centre. Within 100 miles of the centre in the rear, the angle appears to have had a value more nearly equal to the angle in front. This result, derived prin- cipally from observations made on the open sea, agrees well with the theory. The typhoon was propelled by the NE winds, and proceeded at a very constant rate, keeping the high pressures on its right. The angle on the left side was smaller owing to the lower latitude. The different results obtained in case of typhoons near the coast of China may be explained from the effects of friction near the surface of the earth. If sufficient observations of clouds were available in such cases, they would no doubt throw additional light on the subject.

The data available do not suffice for determining the proportion between the force of the wind and the gradients, but the following figures are approximately correct: It blew a moderate gale (7), when the gradient was 0.02 inches in 15 miles, a fresh gale (8), when the gradient was 0.03, a strong gale (9), when the gradient was 0.04, a whole gale (10), when the gradient was 0.05, a storm (11), when the gradient was 0.06 and with full typhoon force (12), when the gradient exceeded the latter figure. The average temperature in Bolinao, when the typhoon was passing, was nearly 80°. At sea it appears to have been about 72°.

At 10 a. on the 22nd, the centre appears to have been in 13° 15′ N, 112° 34′ E, and at 10 a. on the 23rd in 11° 25′ N, 111° 24′ E. It cannot be traced further than this, but I am informed, that great loss was sustained by steamers carrying bullocks, by high seas in the entrance to the Gulf of Siam.-Strong NE winds and rather high seas obtained during the remainder of the month in the China Sea.

The Barograph and the Standard Barometer at the Observatory are placed at 110 feet above Mean Sea Level. The bulbs of the Thermograph Thermometers are 111 feet above Mean Sea Level and 6 feet above the ground.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secret.

NOTICE.

Meteorological Signals will be hoisted on the mast in front of the Police Barracks at Tsimshatsui:

A red drum indicates the existence of a typhoon in the China Sea to the East of the Colon: A red cone pointing upwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude more Norther

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards North.

A red cone pointing downwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude, more South:

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards South.

A red ball indicates the existence of a typhoon somewhere to the West of the Colony.

2. The shipping community is supposed to be guided not solely by these signals, but to consult

The China Coast Meteorological Register issued daily from here.

3. The Meteorological signals do not imply that a typhoon is approaching the Colony. L

Storm-warnings are given by firing the gun placed at the foot of the mast. It will be fire one round, whenever a strong gale of wind is expected here. It will be fired two rounds whenever the wind is expected to blow with storm or typhoon force, and it will be fire. again, if possible, when the wind is likely to shift round suddenly,-such shifting being frequently accompanied by great disasters to the shipping.

4. In cases where special information is urgently required, enquiries at the Observatory should. possible, be made between 1 p. and 4 p., as I am particularly engaged at other times.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 307.

The following report from the Government Astronomer, for the month of December, 1884, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 1st August, 1885.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

Weather Report for December, 1884.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

In the China Coast Meteorological Register, based on information transmitted by the Great Northern and the Eastern Extension Telegraph Companies-which I have published daily, is given a summary of the atmospheric circumstances in Manila and along the Coast of China between Haiphong and Shanghai. It also contains information concerning the weather in Nagasaki and Wladivostock, and the first appearance and progress of Typhoons.

At the end of November and in the beginning of December strong NE gales blew over the China Sea. The barometer reached a maximum 30.01 at 10 a. on the 7th in Manila. On the morning of the same day it blew a fresh NE gale with drizzling rain at S. Cape (Formosa). At 10 a. on the 8th, the barometer had fallen to 29.98 at Manila and a light NNW breeze was reported from Bolinao. At this time the centre of typhoon XIX may have been about 13° N, and 123°-124° E. The barometer was falling along the Coast of China. Gradients indicated fresh N winds. The temperature had risen in the south, and the air was very dry. At 8 p. the height of the barometer was 29.78 and a gentle or moderate N breeze blew at Bolinao.

At 5h. 30m. a. on the 9th, the height of the barometer was 29.86, and the breeze had veered to NE at Bolinao. The fall in the barometer continued along the coast, particularly in the SE. Fine and dry weather accompanied by NE gales prevailed over the China Sea.

prevailed over the China Sea. At 10 a. the height of the barometer was 29.91 at Manila. The centre of the typhoon may have been in 12°-13° N, and about 121° E.

At 5 a. on the 10th it blew a moderate N gale at Bolinao, the clouds came from NE and the barometer was rising. It was steady along the coast. Gradients indicated more moderate NE winds. The centre of the typhoon was probably in about 11° N, 118°-119° E at 10 a. A moderate NNE gale was reported from Bolinao at 4 p. The South Cone was hoisted at 12h. 40m. p., and was taken down next day at 12h. 30m. p.

At 10 a. on the 11th the typhoon had disappeared. Most likely it was moving SWestward. Gentle NE winds and fine weather with blue sky were reported from all stations between Tonquin, Luzon and Wladivostock.

The increased speed of the progressive motion of typhoons with increasing geographical latitude, et forth in my report of the 16th July, 1885, (Appendix M), is probably connected with the corres- ponding increase of barometrical depression. In a typhoon in the China Sea the pressure falls seldom much below 29.00 inches, and it falls frequently much more after reaching a higher latitude. The consequently steeper gradients in a higher latitude apparently increase the progressive speed although the corresponding maximum force of the wind is at least near the surface of the earth, considerably

s than within the tropics.

The Barograph and the Standard Barometer at the Observatory are placed 110 feet above Mean Set Level.

The bulbs of the Thermograph Thermometers are 111 feet above Mean Sea Level and 6 feet above the ground. They are exposed in an unpainted and double-louvered zinc screen fixed to the th wall of the main building in a shaded position. The Solar Radiation Maximum Thermometer is 1 feet above Mean Sea Level and 4 feet above the ground, and the Terrestrial Radiation Minimum Thermometer is about one inch above the ground. The self-recording Rain-gauge is placed 106 feet ve Mean Sea Level, and the rim, which is 114 inches in diameter, is 21 inches above the ground. of the Anemograph are 45 feet above the ground, and 150 feet above Mean Sea Level.

cups

At Victoria Peak the Instruments, except the Radiation Thermometers, are placed in the Look- The Barometer is 1821 feet above Sea Level. The bulbs of the Thermometers are about 4 feet We the floor, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher. The Radiation rmometers are placed at the same height above the ground as at the Observatory. At Cape Aguilar the Thermometers are placed about 170 feet above Sea Level (according to the Government e) in a wooden screen 2 feet above the ground, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a inches higher.

Table I exhibits the hourly readings of the Barometer reduced to 32°.0 Fahrenheit, but not to Level, as measured (at two minutes to the hour named) from the Barograms. The Mean Height

of the Barometer was 30.119, the Highest was 30.295 at 10 a. on the 12th, and the Lowest was 29.935 at 4 p. on the 24th. The Barometric Tide amounted to 0.114.

Table II exhibits the hourly readings of the Temperature (Dry Bulb Thermometer) as measured from the Thermograms (at two minutes past the hour named), and also the Extreme Temperatures during the day. The Mean Temperature was 59.6, the Highest was 711 at about 1 p. on the 3rd. and the Lowest was 49.0 at 7 a. on the 30th.

Table IV exhibits the Mean Relative Humidity in percentage of saturation (the humidity of air saturated with moisture being 100) and Mean Tension of Aqueous Vapour present in the air expressed in inches of mercury, for every hour in the day and for every day in the month. The Mean Tension, which exhibits a great daily variation, was 0.318. The Mean Relative Humidity, which also exhibits an unusually great daily variation, was 62.

Table V exhibits the Duration of Sun-shine as registered by aid of the Sun-shine Recorder from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named." The Sun shone 245.3 hours during the month. Table VI exhibiting the amount of Rain registered from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named, is omitted as no rain fell during the month.

Table VII exhibits, for every hour in the day, the Velocity of the Wind and its Direction in numbers (8-E, 16-S, 24-W, 32-N) as measured from the Anemograms. The Velocity is the number of miles traversed by the Wind, from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Direction is read off at the hour, except when the Wind is very light and changeable, when the average Direction during the hour is estimated, taking into account the Velocity from different quarters. The Direction is not noted when the Velocity is below 1.5 miles an hour.

The Mean Velocity was 12.2 miles an hour. It was greatest during the middle of the day. The greatest Velocity, 33 miles, occurred at 11 p. on the 3rd.

The Total Distance travelled by, as well as the Duration and average Velocity of Winds from different quarters were as follows:-

Table VIII exhibits, for every hour in the day, the Velocity of the Wind reduced to 4 and also to 2 Directions, as well as the Mean Direction of the Wind, which exhibits a small daily variation.

Table IX exhibits the Direction (to two points) and Force of the Wind (0-12) at Victoria Peak. The Average Force of the Wind was 3.7 corresponding to a Velocity of 21.5 miles an hour. The Sea Disturbance (0-9) exhibited in the same table has been derived from observations made at Cape d'Aguilar.

Table X exhibits the Amount (0-10), Name 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. The Mean Direction of the Lower Clouds was E. On an average 26.5 per cent of the sky was clouded.

Table XI and XII exhibit the readings of the Barometer reduced to 32.0 Fahrenheit, but not to Sea Level, at Victoria Peak, and the Thermometers at Victoria Peak and at Cape d'Aguilar.

The Mean Height of the Barometer at the Peak was 28.322. The Mean Temperature was 53.2 at the Peak, and 60.0 at Cape d'Aguilar. The Highest was 64.6 on the 3rd at the Peak, and 73.0 on the 14th at Cape d'Aguilar, and the Lowest was 41.0 on the 11th at the Peak, and 50.1 on the 30th at Cape d'Aguilar.

The Mean Temperature in Hongkong decreased one degree Fahrenheit for every 259 feet ascended. Table XIII exhibits the Relative Humidity as determined from observations of the Dry and Damp Thermometers. The Mean Relative Humidity at the Observatory was 62, at Cape d'Aguilar 72, and at Victoria Peak 69. The Least Relative Humidity registered was 20 at 4 p. on the 9th at the Observatory, 41 at 10 a. on the 11th at Cape d'Aguilar, and 26 at 10 p. on the 8th at the Peak.

Table XIV exhibits the Tension of Aqueous Vapour at the Observatory and at the Peak. The Mean Tension was 0.316 inches at the Observatory, and 0.281 inches at the Peak. The Greatest Tension registered was 0.522 at 10 p. on the 1st, at the Observatory, and 0.468 at 10 p. on the 3rd at the Peak. The Least Tension was 0.112 at 10 a. on the 9th at the Observatory, and 0.099 at 10 p. on the 8th at the Peak.

On the afternoon of the 6th and during the following night light showers of rain, whose aggregate duration was 1 hour, passed but no rain was found in any of the gauges.

Unusual visibility was noted on the 7th and the 8th.

Dew fell on the 1st, the 14th, the 22nd, the 23rd and the 25th.

The following Notice from the Government Astronomer is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th May, 1885.

NOTICE.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

Meteorological Signals will be listed on the mast in front of the Police Barracks at Tsimshatsui :-- A red drum indicates the existence of a typhoon in the China Sea to the East of the Colony. A red cone pointing upwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude more Northern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards North.

A red cone pointing downwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude, more Southern ̧.

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards South.

A red ball indicates the existence of a typhoon somewhere to the West of the Colony. 2. The shipping community is supposed to be guided not solely by these signals, but to consult

The China Coast Meteorological Register issued daily from here.

3. The Meteorological signals do not imply that a typhoon is approaching the Colony. Loc

Storm-warnings are given by firing the gun placed at the foot of the mast. It will be fire! one round. whenever a strong gale of wind is expected here. It will be fired two rounds. whenever the wind is exacted to blow with storm or typhoon force, and it will be fir again, if possible. when the wind is likely to shift round suddenly,-such shifting bein- frequently accompanied by great disasters to the shipping.

4. In cases where special information is urgently required, enquiries at the Observatory should, is

possible, be made between 1 p. and 4 p., as I am particularly engaged at other times.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language; constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in ¡ practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a Witten Language of China, ancient and modern, practically complete Thesaurus of the whole as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

NOTICE.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

Meteorological Signals will be hoisted on the mast in front of the Police Barracks at Tsimshatsui :— A red drum indicates the existence of a typhoon in the China Sea to the East of the Colony. A red cone pointing upwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude more Northern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards North.

A red cone pointing downwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude, more Southern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards South.

A red ball indicates the existence of a typhoon somewhere to the West of the Colony. 2. The shipping community is supposed to be guided not solely by these signals, but to consult

The China Coast Meteorological Register issued daily froin here.

3. The Meteorological signals do not imply that a typhoon is approaching the Colony. Local Storm-warnings are given by firing the gun placed at the foot of the mast. It will be fired one round, whenever a strong gale of wind is expected here. It will be fired two rounds. whenever the wind is expected to blow with storm or typhoon force, and it will be fired again, if possible, when the wind is likely to shift round suddenly,-such shifting being frequently accompanied by great disasters to the shipping.

4. In cases where special information is urgently required, enquiries at the Observatory should, if

possible, be made between 1 p. and 4 p., as I am particularly engaged at other times.

GENTLEMEN,

The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 30th June last.

The net profits for that period, including $61,570.14 brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and duc, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts, amount to $939,548.06, of which, after taking out rebate on Bills not yet due, and remuneration to Directors, there remains for appropriation $928,426.27.

From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of Two Pounds Sterling per Share, which on 60,000 Shares will absorb $533,333.33.

The difference in Exchange between 4/6, the rate at which the Dividend is declared and 3/6, the current rate of the day amounts to $144,813.72.

The Directors propose placing $100,000 to the Reserve Fund, and $100,000 to the Reserve for Equalization of Dividends, thus bringing up these funds to $4,500,000, and $500,000 respectively,

The Balance $50,779.22 to be brought for- ward to the Credit of new Profit and Loss Account.

The following Notice from the Government Astronomer is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th May, 1885.

NOTICE.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

Meteorological Signals will be hoisted on the mast in front of the Police Barracks at Tsimshatsui :- A red drum indicates the existence of a typhoon in the China Sea to the East of the Colony. A red cone pointing upwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude more Norther

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards North.

A red cone pointing downwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude, more Southern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards South.

A red ball indicates the existence of a typhoon somewhere to the West of the Colony.

2. The shipping community is supposed to be guided not solely by these signals, but to consult

The China Coast Meteorological Register issued daily from here..

3. The Meteorological signals do not imply that a typhoon is approaching the Colony. Lo

Storm-warnings are given by firing the gun placed at the foot of the mast. It will be fire: one round, whenever a strong gale of wind is expected here. It will be fired two round- whenever the wind is expected to blow with storm or typhoon force, and it will be fir again, if possible, when the wind is likely to shift round suddenly,-such shifting bein: frequently accompanied by great disasters to the shipping.

4. In cases where special information is urgently required, enquiries at the Observatory should, possible, be made between 1 p. and 4 p., as I am particularly engaged at other times.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 225.

The following Notice from the Government Astronomer is published for general information. By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th May, 1885.

NOTICE.

777

W. H. MARSII,

Colonial Secretary.

Meteorological Signals will be hoisted on the mast in front of the Police Barracks at Tsimshatsui :—

A red drum indicates the existence of a typhoon in the China Sea to the East of the Colony. A red cone pointing upwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude more Northern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards North.

A red cone pointing downwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude, more Southern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards South.

A red ball indicates the existence of a typhoon somewhere to the West of the Colony.

2. The shipping community is supposed to be guided not solely by these signals, but to consult

The China Coast Meteorological Register issued daily from here.

3. The Meteorological signals do not imply that a typhoon is approaching the Colony. Local Storm-warnings are given by firing the gun placed at the foot of the mast. It will be fired one round, whenever a strong gale of wind is expected here. It will be fired two rounds, whenever the wind is expected to blow with storm or typhoon force, and it will be fired again, if possible, when the wind is likely to shift round suddenly,-such shifting being frequently accompanied by great disasters to the shipping.

4. In cases where special information is urgently required, enquiries at the Observatory should, if

possible, be made between 1 p. and 4 p., as I am particularly engaged at other times.

Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters practical use, and while alphabetically arrang, a according to the sounds of the oldest dialect: China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin, pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means cot- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intre- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound an! used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

CONSULAR NOTIFICATION.

The undersigned begs to circulate for the information of British Subjects interested in Shipping, translation of a letter to-day received from His Excellency the Viceroy.

"Some time ago, measures of defence were taken, and torpedoes were laid down the River from the Bogue to Canton. Steamers going to and fro had therefore to employ torpedo pilots, and to anchor in order to be recognized; the reason for these defensive measures has now ceased to exist, and many of the torpedoes have been taken up, and steamers going in the Channel from the Bogue or the Wei Yuan fort by way of Yu-chu to Canton [i.e., by the Southern Channel] can now do so without danger of striking torpedoes; but along the banks of the river there are still some floating torpedoes, which, it will take some time to get up. Vessels coming up the river must be careful not to go on the banks. Steamers need now no longer use torpedo pilots; they may also travel at night and need not anchor till next morning.

The Viceroy requests Her Majesty's Consul to circulate his letter among the British Merchants."

NOTICE.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

Meteorological Signals will be hoisted on the mast in front of the Police Barracks at Tsimshátsui :-

A red drum indicates the existence of a typhoon in the China Sea to the East of the Colony. A red cone pointing upwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude more Northern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards North.

A red cone pointing downwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude, more Southern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards South.

A red ball indicates the existence of a typhoon somewhere to the West of the Colony. 2. The shipping community is supposed to be guided not solely by these signals, but to consult

The China Coast Meteorological Register issued daily from here.

3. The Meteorological signals do not imply that a typhoon is approaching the Colony. Local Storm-warnings are given by firing the gun placed at the foot of the mast. It will be fired one round, whenever a strong gale of wind is expected here. It will be fired two rounds, whenever the wind is expected to blow with storm or typhoon force, and it will be fired again, if possible, when the wind is likely to shift round suddenly,-such shifting being frequently accompanied by great disasters to the shipping.

4. In cases where special information is urgently required, enquiries at the Observatory should, if

possible, be made between 1 p. and 4 p., as I am particularly engaged at other times.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cautonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

His Honour the Chief Justice, (SIR GEORGE PHILLIPPO, Knt.), on leave."

The Honourable WILLIAM KESWICK, on leave.

The Council met pursuant to adjournment.

Minutes read and confirmed.

CLOSING OF THE SESSION.-His Excellency the Governor closed the Session with the following Speech:-

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

1. The satisfactory conclusion to which you have carried no small amount of public business enables me now to close this Session.

2. Several measures of importance will be prepared by my Government during the recess for your consideration at your next Meeting. As I have stated on a previous occasion, I understand it to be generally agreed that the public convenience will be best consulted by opening the Annual Session of the Council in the month of November of each year. But it will be necessary to have a Special Meeting in next September to consider the Estimates for 1886. It has been found to be practically impossible to calculate accurately at an earlier period the probable revenue and expenditure of the ensuing year.

3. I will now proceed, according to the practice established in all Colonies, to lay before the Legislature a brief summary of the present condition of Hongkong, with regard to Finance, Legislation, Public Works, Education, the Public Institutions, and the Police.

4. With regard to Finance ;- I thank you, in the name of the QUEEN, for the supplies which you have voted for Her Majesty's service in this Colony, and as a contribution to the cost of the Defence Works. The Report of the Colonial Secretary and Auditor General shows that the probable assets of the Colony on the 31st of next December will

874

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH OCTOBER, 1885.

amount to nearly two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000). It will not, therefore, be necessary to raise during the present year any portion of the Loan proposed for the com- pletion of the Extraordinary Works connected with Sanitation, Water Supply, and Defence.

5. With regard to Legislation;

-fifteen Bills have become law during the Session; the more important being the Ordinances regulating Weights and Measures, Bills of Exchange, the Disposition of Property by Married Women, and Amending the Post Office Ordinance.

6. With regard to Public Works;- -the depression of the Public Revenue, con- sequent on the unsettled state of political affairs in this quarter of the globe, has rendered necessary some temporary reduction and postponement in several of the principal undertakings contemplated last year. Steady progress has, however, been made with the Tytam Water Works; with the Victoria College; and with the general plan of Sanitation approved, in 1883, by Her Majesty's Government, on the recommendation of Mr. CHADWICK. In connec- tion with the last-mentioned subject, the details of the proposed new Building Ordinance will be carefully considered during the recess by the Public Works Committee.

7. With regard to Education; the Annual Report of the Government Inspector shows very satisfactory progress, for 'both the number of Schools under Government supervi- sion in the Colony, and also the number of Scholars attending those Schools have been doubled within the last ten years.' Moreover, from paragraph 13 of the same Report, it will be seen that the changes recently introduced into the Education Code have proved completely successful, and have already resulted in decreased expense coupled with increased efficiency. Again, it is remarked by the Head Master in his Report that the past was an eventful year for the Central School, for the erection of the Victoria College was then commenced. It is believed that this new College will become the principal place of education not only for this Island, but also for many of the future leading men of the vast neighbouring Empire of China; and that this will prove a powerful, legitimate, and honourable method of extending British influence throughout this quarter of the globe. Already indeed, several men holding high positions in the service of the Chinese Government owe their education to the schools established in Hongkong under British auspices.

8. With regard to the Public Institutions and the Police ;- -I have satisfied myself by several personal inspections that they are in a generally satisfactory condition. Further, from papers recently laid before the Council, it will have been seen that Major-General CAMERON, Commanding the Troops on this Station, has borne his testimony to the efficiency of the English and Sikh portion of the Police Corps in their rifle practice. A force of 300 men, equal to one fourth of the whole, has thus practically been added, in the event of war, or of serious internal disturbance, to the garrison. At the same time, the Police fully understand that their military drill must not be allowed to interfere with their civil duties in time of peace.

9. Having thus glanced at the internal affairs of this Colony, I will remind you, Honourable Gentlemen, of what I stated in my Prorogation Speech last year, viz.: that the foremost statesmen of England attach greater importance to this Colony than to other Colonies of far larger territorial extent; for Hongkong is the centre of British power and commerce in this part of the world. As you are already aware, one of my first acts after my assumption of this Government, was to call the attention of the Imperial Authorities to the comparatively unprotected state of this first-class Naval and Military Station, and great Mart of Trade, and thus to procure the commencement of the Defence Works which are now in progress. I know that you all entirely agree with me in the opinion that the present favourable prospect of peace should not be allowed to cause any relaxation in the efforts in this direction. It is a wise maxim that preparation for War is the surest guarantee for Peace. And, as you know already, the highest Naval and Military Authorities. in the Empire believe that the completion of the Defences which are now being vigorously pushed forward by General CAMERON, will place this Colony in safety against foreign attack.

10. In conclusion. I desire to thank you, Honourable Gentlemen, once more, for your valuable advice and assistance during the past Session, and for the constant and loyal support which you afford on all occasions to the Representative of the Queen. I trust that the return of peace will soon remove the temporary depression in our trade and revenue; and that, through the blessing of Almighty God on the energy and industry of all classes in this community, the general progress and prosperity of Hongkong will be increased and

consolidated.

11. I now prorogue this Council to the 15th day of next September.

Read and confirmed, this 14th day of October, 1885.

Whereas the Legislative Council of Hongkong stands prorogued to Tuesday, the 15th day of September instant, now I, Sir GEORGE FERGUSON BOWEN, in exercise of the powers in me vested as Governor aforesaid, do hereby proclaim that the said Legislative Council is further prorogued to Wednesday, the 7th October, 1885, on which day it shall meet for the despatch of business at the hour of 5 o'clock in the afternoon in the Council Chamber, in the City of Victoria in the said Colony; and the Members of the Legislative Council are hereby required to give their attendance at the said time and place accordingly.

Given under my Hand and the public Seal of the Colony, this 5th day of September, 1885.

By Command,

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

His Excellency the Governor came into the Council Chamber, and having desired the Honourable Members to be seated, was pleased to speak as follows :----

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

I have summoned you to meet at a somewhat earlier period of the year than on previous occasions, because, in addition to the Estimates for 1886, and to several important Legislative measures, I desire to submit for your consideration a Loan Bill, and a Bill to establish a Spirit Farm, similar to that successfully established in the neighbouring Colony of the Straits Settlements.

2. It will be remembered that, in opening the Session for 1884, I addressed you as follows:---

Hongkong is probably the only State or Colony of importance, which at the present day is not only without a Public Debt, but which possesses assets nearly equal to its annual revenue. However, the existing balances will not be sufficient to carry out several Public Works, which are urgently required by this community, in addition to those 'strong and complete measures of sanitation,' which Mr. CHADWICK, (the Civil Engineer recently sent out from England), has reported to be absolutely

876

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH OCTOBER, 1885. necessary 'for the immediate benefit of the public health.' Under these circumstances, I concur with the Executive Council in what appears to be the general opinion of the Colony, viz. that the present generation of Colonists ought not to be deprived of the advantages referred to, while it cannot, of course, be expected to defray the entire cost of works of a permanent and reproductive character; so that, consequently, it will be expedient to raise, on the exhaustion of the existing assets, a moderate loan not much exceeding the revenue of a single year. This question will not have to be decided in its details during the present Session; but, I desire to elicit the opinion of the Council on the principle involved."

3. In your address in reply, the Council said: "We agree with your Excellency in the opinion that, in justice to the present generation of tax-payers in Hongkong, a moderate loan should be raised on the exhaustion of the existing assets, to defray a portion of the cost of those Sanitary and other Public Works, which are recognised as of permanent importance for the security of the general health and well-being of our population."

4. You have, therefore, Honourable Gentlemen, already sanctioned the principle of a loan; and there will now be laid before you Bills (already approved by Her Majesty's Government), for raising One million of Dollars, (that is, less than one year's income of this Colony,);-and to establish a Spirit Farm, the produce of which will be required to provide for the interest and Sinking Fund of. the Loan.

5. From the Report of the Acting Colonial Secretary and Auditor General, it will be seen that the state of our Finances is briefly as follows:-In consequence of the exercise of rigorous economy in the general administration, while considerable progress has been made in the chief Public Works, there will still remain in the Treasury on the 31st of next December a balance of $190,000. Now, the Extraordinary Public Works,-that is, those to be defrayed out of Balances and Loan, including among others, the Tytam Water-Works; the completion of the Victoria College, and of the pernament Lazaretto; the Defence Works, and the Sanitary Works; are estimated to cost $579,800; consequently, it will become necessary to raise by loan during the ensuing year not less than about $400,000.

6. The Estimates for 1886 show a surplus (in round numbers) of $122,500, if we include the increase expected from the proposed Spirit Farm, which is estimated at about $63,500, and which will be devoted to the payment of interest and Sinking Fund on the Loan. Consequently, there will remain only a nett surplus of $59,000, not more than is required to meet unforeseen expenses.

7. At the present time, the taxation of this Colony, both general and municipal, does not exceed £1.1.0 per head of the population. With the increase from the Spirit Farm, it will not exceed £1.3.6 per head. It will be recollected that the aggregate taxation, general and municipal, per head of the people of England, and of the Australasian Colonies, exceeds £3.0.0 per head.

8. Under the circumstances stated in a Report of the Colonial Treasurer which will be laid before you, it has been found necessary to increase the Police rate by 1 per cent. As the law of this Colony has hitherto stood, the power of assessing the Municipal rates is vested solely in the Governor in Executive Council. I think that this anomaly, for which there is probably no precedent in any other part of the British Empire, should be removed; and that, for the future, the municipal, like the general taxation should be imposed, after full consideration, by a vote of the Legislative Council. I have recommended to Her Majesty's Government that I should receive authority to carry out this reform.

9. And here I will take the opportunity of observing that I have always advocated the creation in all British and homogeneous communities of Municipalities freely elected by the Rate-payers, as in England. I took an active part in encouraging the extension of such Municipalities during the twenty years that I was Governor successively of three of the principal Colonies in Australasia. But, I recognise the fact that it is practically impossible to create here an elective Municipality; for probably not a single Englishman would be elected to it. From an Official report, it appears that there are:-

(1). English Rate-payers,

(2). Chinese,

(3). Others (chiefly Portuguese),

..........947

.98.

As the constant policy and action of my Government abundantly prove, I feel much sympathy with the Chinese who have settled in this British Colony. I will never sanction any unnecessary interference with their national customs or national feelings; I have always given favourable attention to the petitions addressed to me by them; and I have appointed one of the most respected members of the Chinese Community to represent his countrymen in this Council. At the same time, it is obvious that neither the Colonial nor the Imperial Government cân leave to an elective Municipality which would be composed entirely of Chinese, or in which the Chinese element would be largely predominant, the arrangements necessary for the health, water supply, good order, and general administration of one of the principal Naval and Military Stations, and Marts of Commerce in the British Empire. In addition to the European Civil residents and to the crews of the Merchant Shipping annually visiting this harbour, (the tonnage of which exceeds to 5 millions of tons, that is, it exceeds the tonnage entering all other British Ports except London and Liverpool), it will be remembered that we have to take into account some three thousand of Her Majesty's seamen and soldiers.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH OCTOBER, 1885.

877

10. On the other hand, the existing Legislative Council is practically also a Municipal Council. More than two-thirds of the business transacted by it is of a purely Municipal character; and it can no longer be reasonably alleged in any quarter that it does not fairly represent the community at large. It is true that on my assumption of this Government in 1883, I found that the Council consisted of nine members, of whom seven were official, and only two unofficial and independent members; all appointed absolutely by the Crown. In consequence of my urgent recommendation, I received authority to increase the unofficial members from two to five; one of whom will always be a Chinese; while I have given the privilege of freely nominating their own representatives to the two principal Public Bodies, viz. the Bench of Magistrates and the Chamber of Commerce, which comprise the chief payers of rates and taxes of every nationality resident here, British, American, German, Jewish, Chinese, Parsee, and Armenian. Thus the property, intelligence, and education of the entire community are now directly represented in this Council. Moreover, so long as I retain my present post, the official majority will not over-rule, especially in financial questions, an united unofficial minority, except, of course, in extreme cases of necessity, and in which Imperial interests may be involved.

that

you

11. I know that you, Honourable Gentlemen, agree with the principles stated above. I know also rejoice with me at the steady prosecution by the Military Authorities, (as is shown by reports from the Colonel Commanding the Royal Engineers,) of the system of Defence Works, under- taken after my strong representations to the Imperial Government of the previously unprotected state of this Port and Colony. You will also be glad to learn that my application for a flotilla of Torpedo Boats has now been granted; and that six first-class Torpedo Boats will shortly re-inforce those already supplied by the Admiralty. It is morally certain that our defences by land and sea will be completed long before there will be any occasion to test them; and, as you are already aware, the highest Naval and Military Authorities in the Empire consider that, when completed, they will place Hongkong in safety against foreign attack.

12. In connexion with the subject of Defence, I have to inform you that I have again pressed on the attention of the Imperial Government the importance of securing direct telegraphic communication between Hongkong and Singapore.

13. With regard to Legislation;-in addition to the financial measures already mentioned, the principal Bills to be submitted to you during the Session will be Bills to consolidate and amend the existing law relating to Prisons; to provide for the Preservation of the Peace; to amend the Municipal Rates Ordinance; also a new Building Ordinance. The Commission for the revision of the Laws is now making satisfactory progress; and, it is hoped, will soon be able to submit some revised Ordinances for your consideration.

14. You will learn with satisfaction that the action of my Government throughout the difficult and delicate crisis of the Franco-Chinese hostilities has met with the approval, on every point, of the Imperial Government. While enforcing British neutrality, I preserved throughout friendly relations with the Belligerent Powers. -

15. Some time ago, I directed the attention of the Imperial Authorities to the importance to the Mercantile Community of Hongkong, of opening to commerce the great South-western Provinces of China with their rich resources and population of above 100 millions; and especially the affluents of the Canton River. A lengthy correspondence ensued between the Foreign Office and the British Legation at Peking; and I have now been informed officially that representations have been made on the subject to the Chinese Government; and that a prominent Agent of the British Government will be despatched to investigate and report on the manifold advantages to trade offered by the South-western portion of the neighbouring Empire. Valuable results may be expected from this

mission.

16. It is believed that the Commission appointed for that purpose will secure an adequate representation of Hongkong at the approaching Colonial and Indian Exhibition. A preliminary exhibition will be held here before the despatch of the exhibits to London.

17. During the course of the Session there will be presented to you reports and other documents showing the condition of the several Departments of the Colonial Service, and the state of the Tytam Water-Works, and of the other Public Works in progress. I invite you to ask at all times for any further public papers, the production of which you may consider necessary or desirable for the full elucidation of the position of the Colony as to financial and all other affairs.

may

18. In conclusion, Honourable Gentlemen, I desire to express my full confidence that I continue, as heretofore, to rely on your loyal co-operation in all matters calculated to promote the public interests. I would repeat also my confident hope that the progressive development of our commerce, now relieved from the depression caused by the recent hostilities in this part of the world; the most rigid economy in our finances that is compatible with the efficiency of the public service, and with the prosecution of the necessary Public Works; together with constant firmness and justice, not dry but sympathetic justice,-on the part of the Government and Legislature to all races in our mixed population, will, under the blessing of Providence, promote the general welfare and happiness of this community.

The Honourable P. RYRIE.

and The Honourable T. JACKSON.

The Honourable T. JACKSON seconded.

The Acting Colonial Secretary then withdrew his motion.

Question-put and passed.

The Council re-assembled at 5-40 P.M.

The Chief Justice took the Chair.

The Clerk of Councils read at the table the following Address to be presented to His Excellency the Governor, in reply to the Speech he had been pleased to deliver to the Council:-

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,

1. We, the Members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong, in Council assembled, desire to thank your Excellency for the Speech with which you have opened the present Session.

2. We repeat that we agree with your Excellency in the opinion that, in justice to the present generation of tax-payers in Hongkong, a moderate loan should be raised on the exhaustion of the existing assets, to defray a portion of the cost of those Sanitary and other Public Works, which are recognised as of permanent importance for the security of the general health and well-being of our population.

3. Agreeing in the principle, we shall give our careful consideration to the details of the proposed Loan Bill and of the proposed Bill to establish a Spirit Farm, the produce of which will be devoted to pay the interest and Sinking Fund of the Loan.

4. We thank your Excellency for the intention to submit to this Council the Municipal as well as the general taxation of the Colony.

5. We agree with your Excellency that it would be practically impossible, under the circumstances of this Colony, to create here an elective Municipal Council, in which an alien element would be pre-

dominant.

6. We concur with the views stated by your Excellency on the above subjects.

7. We are glad to learn that the Military Authorities are steadily prosecuting the system of Defence Works undertaken upon your Excellency's representation of the previously unprotected state of this Port and Colony. We also learn with pleasure that your Excellency's application for a flotilla of Torpedo Boats has been granted. We desire to express our thanks for the constant exertions of your Excellency to secure the defence of this Port and Colony by sea and land.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH OCTOBER, 1885.

879

8. We think direct telegraphic communication between Hongkong and Singapore of great practical importance to both Imperial and Colonial interests; and we hope that your Excellency's renewed application to the Home Government on this subject will prove successful.

9. We shall give due attention to the Legislative measures which will be submitted to us; and we are glad to learn that the Commission for the revision of the Laws is now making satisfactory progress.

10. We are glad that the action taken by your Excellency during the crisis of the Franco-Chinese complications has met, on every point, with the approval of Her Majesty's Government.

11. We concur with your Excellency as to the importance of opening to commerce the great South-western Provinces of China; and we trust that the efforts made in this direction will be crowned with success.

12. We trust with your Excellency that the Commission appointed for the purpose will secure an adequate representation of Hongkong at the approaching Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London.

13. We shall examine with care the reports to be laid before us on the condition of the Public Departments, and on the state of the Taitam Water-Works and of the Sanitary and other Public Works in progress.

14. In conclusion, we beg to assure your Excellency that you may always rely on our loyal co-operation with the Representative of our QUEEN in all matters tending to further the public interests; and that we share your hope that the progressive development of our commerce; rigid economy in our finances; and constant firmness and justice to all races and classes in our population, will, under the Divine blessing, promote the general well-being and contentment of this entire com- munity.

The Honourable P. RYRIE moved that the Address as read be adopted, and addressed the Council, drawing attention to certain Public Works for which votes had been taken from the Council, and no commencement had apparently been made for carrying them out. The Honourable Member referred particularly to the repairs to Murray Pier taking precedence to the extension. of Pedder's Wharf.

The Surveyor General replied, and explained with reference to Pedder's Wharf, that it had been found necessary to dredge the foreshore for some distance around it before any new work could be com- menced. The Dredger, which had been engaged at Causeway Bay doing good sanitary work, would soon be brought over to work at Pedder's Wharf.

The Honourable F. D. SASSOON seconded the motion, and addressed the Council.

Question-put and passed.

The Acting Colonial Secretary moved,―That the Address in reply be presented to the Governor by the Honourable P. RYRIE and the Honourable F. D. SASSOON at Government House to-morrow, ut Noon, it having been ascertained that that hour would be convenient to His Excellency.

Question-put and passed.

The Council adjourned at 6 P.M. until Wednesday, the 14th instant, at 4 P.M.

The Loan Ordinance, 1885.

HEREAS it is expedient to raise on loan a sum not exceeding Two Hundred Thousand Pounds by the sale of Debentures or of Inscribed Stock, to be expended on certain Public Works and Fortifications. And Whereas it is also expedient to provide for the creation of Inscribed Stock, and to enable this Colony to take advantage of the provisions of an Act of the Imperial Parliament entituled "The Colonial Stock Act, 1877"; Be it therefore enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:

1. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as The Loan Ordinance, 1885.

2. The Governor may from time to time raise such sum or sums of money as he may deem expedient, not exceeding in all Two Hundred Thousand Pounds, either by Deben- tures or by Hongkong Inscribed Stock, or partly by Deben- tures and partly by such Inscribed Stock.

3. The principal moneys and interest secured by the Debentures or Inscribed Stock issued under the provisions of this Ordinance are hereby charged upon and shall be payable out of the General Revenues and Assets of the Government of Hongkong.

4. When the borrowing shall be upon Debentures, such Debentures shall be issued in London on behalf of the Government of Hongkong by the Crown Agents for the Colonies, upon the best and most favourable terms that can be obtained, and shall be signed by any two of them on that behalf.

5. Every Debenture issued under the provisions of this Ordinance shall be for a sum of not less than One Hundred Pounds Sterling, and shall bear interest at a rate not exceeding five per cent. per annum.

6. Every Debenture shall, before being issued, be regis- tered in a Register Book to be kept for that purpose at the office in London of the Crown Agents.

7. There shall be attached to every Debenture Coupons for the payment of the interest to become due in each half- year upon the principal secured by the Debenture. The Coupons shall be sufficient in number to provide for the payment of the interest, either during the whole period for which the Debenture has to run, or for such limited period as the Crown Agents, acting on behalf of the Government of Hongkong, may determine.

8. The Debentures, and the Coupons thereto, may be in such form as the Governor, or the Crown Agents acting on his behalf, may direct or approve.

9. Every Debenture and Coupon, and the right to receive the principal and interest secured or represented thereby, shall be transferable by delivery.

10. So long as any of the Debentures remain outstanding the Governor shall in each half-year ending with the day on which the interest on the Debentures falls due, appro- priate out of the General Revenues and Assets of this Colony a sum equal to one half-year's interest on the whole of the Debentures previously issued, including any which may have been redeemed, but exclusive of any which may have been at any time exchanged for Inscribed Stock, and shall remit that sum to the Crown Agents at such time as will enable them to pay thereout the then current half-year's interest on the day when it falls due, and two years after the date of the Debentures first issued the Governor shall, in each half-year ending as aforesaid, appropriate out of the said Revenues and Assets of this Colony an additional sum equal to ten shillings sterling per centum on the total nominal amount of all the Debentures issued on or before the first day of that half-year, including any which may have been redeemed, but exclusive of any which may have been at any time exchanged for Inscribed Stock, and shall remit that sum to the Crown Agents with the remittance hereinbefore mentioned.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH OCTOBER, 1885. 883

11. The Crown Agents shall place and keep the moneys so remitted to them, or so much thereof as may not be required for immediate payments, on deposit at interest in their names with some Bank or Banks in London or West- minster, and shall hold all such moneys and the accumula- tions thereon in trust, to apply them, in the first place, in payment of the interest for the current half-year upon the Debentures for the time being outstanding, and, in the next place, in the formation of a Sinking Fund.

12. The interest upon the principal secured by each Debenture shall run from the day named in that behalf in the Debenture, and shall be paid half-yearly, on the days named in that behalf in the Debenture, at the office in London of the Crown Agents.

13. The Sinking Fund shall be applied in the first place in payment of all expenses of, or incidental to, the redemp- tion of Debentures, including the charges of the Notary Public attending at any drawing thereof, and the costs and expenses of all notices required by this Ordinance to be given, and in the next place, and subject to the aforesaid payments in repayment of the principal moneys for the time being secured by the Debentures.

14. The Debentures shall, at the option of the Crown Agents, be redeemed either by purchase in the open market or by annual drawings, and, subject to the aforesaid pay- ments, the sum to be applied annually to such redemption shall correspond as nearly as may be to, but not exceed, the amount for the time being standing to the credit of the Sinking Fund.

15. Four months after the first contribution to the Sinking Fund has been made, and so long thereafter as any of the Debentures remain outstanding and unsatisfied, the Crown Agents shall in every year, unless the whole of the money applicable in that year to the redemption of Deben- tures has been applied in the purchase thereof, appoint a day in that year for the drawing by lot of the Debentures. to be redeemed.

16. If a day is appointed for drawing, the Crown Agents shall give, by advertisement in the London Times news- paper, not less than fifteen days' previous notice, specifying the day on which, and the hour and place at which, the drawing will take place, and the nominal amount of the Debentures to be redeemed at that drawing.

17. On the day and at the hour and place so specified, the Crown Agents shall hold a meeting, at which the holder of any Debenture may, if he think fit, be present, and shall then in the presence of such Debenture-holders (if any) as may attend, and of a Notary Public, draw by lot out of the whole number of Debentures for the time being outstanding Debentures of the specified nominal amount.

18. The Crown Agents shall thereupon declare the dis- tinguishing numbers of the Debentures drawn for redemption, and shall as soon as may be, by advertisement in the London Times newspaper, specify those numbers and appoint a day (not being later as to each Debenture than the day on which the then current half-year's interest thereon is payable) on which the principal moneys secured by the Debentures so distinguished will be repaid.

19. On the day so appointed, the Crown Agents shall, at their office in London, on demand, pay, to the holders of the Debentures drawn for repayment, the principal moneys secured by those Debentures, with all interest payable thereon up to that day.

20. From and after the day appointed for the repayment of any Debenture, all interest on the principal moneys secured thereby shall cease and determine, whether payment of the principal shall have been demanded or not.

21. Upon the repayment of the principal moneys secured by any Debenture, the Debenture with all the Coupons thereunto belonging shall be delivered up to the Crown Agents, to be by them cancelled and forwarded to the Government of Hongkong. Any Debenture redeemed by purchase shall likewise be so cancelled and forwarded.

22. When borrowing shall be upon Inscribed Stock, such Stock shall be issued in England by the Crown Agents for the Colonies under the provisions of the Act of the

Imperial Parliament entituled "The Colonial Stock Act, 1877," upon the best and most favourable terms that can be obtained, and on such other conditions, subject to the pro- visions of this Ordinance, as the Governor may before the issue thercof from time to time direct, provided that the interest on such Inscribed Stock shall not exceed five per cent. per annum.

23. All the Inscribed Stock which may be created under the provisions of this Ordinance shall be redeemable at par on a date to be named in that behalf by the Crown Agents when issuing the Stock, such date not being later than fifty years from the date of issue. From and after which date all interest on the principal moneys secured thereby shall cease and determine, whether payment of the principal shall have been demanded or not.

24. So long as any of the Inscribed Stock shall remain uuredeemed, the Governor shall in each half-year ending with the day on which the interest on such Inscribed Stock falls due, appropriate out of the General Revenues and Assets of this Colony a sum equal to one half-year's interest on the whole of such Inscribed Stock, and shall remit that sum to the Crown Agents at such time as will enable them to pay thereout the then current half-year's interest on the day when it falls due. The Governor shall further appro- priate out of the said Revenues and Assets in each half- year ending as aforesaid, an additional sum for the formation of a Sinking Fund equal to ten shillings per centum on the total nominal amount of such Inscribed Stock.

25. The amount so remitted for the formation of a Sinking Fund for the redemption of Inscribed Stock shall be invested in the names of Trustees to be appointed by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, the Trustees shall also from time to time invest the dividends, interest or produce arising from such investment, so that the same may accu- mulate by way of compound interest and be applied by the Crown Agents towards the final extinction of the debt.

26. All sums paid to the account of such Sinking Fund and the interest thereof shall be invested in Imperial or Colonial Government Securities at the discretion of the Trustees.

27. In case the said Sinking Fund shall be insufficient to provide the necessary funds for the redemption of the Inscribed Stöck when it shall have become due, the deficiency shall be made good out of the General Revenues and Assets of the Colony.

28. All expenses of or incidental to the management of the Sinking Fund or to the repayment of the principal moneys borrowed, shall be paid out of the Sinking Fund.

29. The Crown Agents may from time to time make arrangements for all or any of the following things:-

(1) For inscribing Stock in their books.

(2) For managing the creation, inscription, and issue

of the Inscribed Stock herein referred to.

(3) For paying interest on Inscribed Stock, and

managing transfers thereof.

(4) For issuing Inscribed Stock certificates to bearer, and as often as occasion shall require, re-issuing or re-inscribing Stock, and re-issuing Inscribed Stock certificates.

Introduction

of prohibited articles into a prison.

it is of such a size, and is lighted, warmed, ventilated, and fitted up in such a manner as may be requisite for health, and furnished with the means of enabling the prisoner to communicate at any time with an officer of the prison; but a distinction may be made in respect of the use of cells for the separate confinement of prisoners during long and short periods of imprisonment, and in respect of the use of cells in which the prisoner is intended to be employed during the whole day, or for a long or short part thereof; and the Governor's approval may be varied accordingly, so as to express the period of imprisonment for which each cell may be considered fit, and the number of hours in the day during which the prisoners may be employed therein.

No punishment cell shall be used unless it has been approved in writing by the Governor, and the Governor shall not give his approval in respect of any such cell unless he is satisfied that it is furnished with the means of enabling the prisoner to communicate at any time with an officer of the prison, and that it can be used as a punishment cell without detriment to the prisoner's health, and the time for which it may be so used shall be stated in the approval.

Every approved cell shall be distinguished by n number or mark placed in a conspicuous position, and shall be re- ferred to by its number or mark in the Governor's approval, and the number or mark of any approved cell shall not be changed without the Governor's approval.

Any approval given by the Governor in respect of a cell may be withdrawn on such alteration taking place in such cell as to render the approval, in his opinion, inapplicable thereto, and upon an approval in respect of a cell being withdrawn, that cell shall cease to be an approved cell for the purposes of this Ordinance.

8. Hard labour for the purposes of sentences of impri- sonment with hard labour or penal servitude shall be of two classes, consisting, 1st, of work at the tread wheel, shot drill, crank, capstan, stone-breaking, or such other like description of hard bodily labour as may be appointed by the Governor, which work is hereinafter referred to as hard labour of the first class; 2ndly, of such other description of bodily labour as may be appointed by the Governor, which work is hereinafter referred to as hard labour of the second class; and in every prison where prisoners sentenced to hard labour or penal servitude are confined, adequate means shall be provided for enforcing hard labour in accordance with the regulations of this Ordinance; but prisoners may be employed in hard labour of the second class outside the walls of the prison under the control of a prison officer belonging to such prison, and employment in the necessary services of the prison may, in the case of a limited number of prisoners, to be selected by the Super- intendent as a reward for industry and good behaviour, be deemed to be hard labour of the second class.

9. In every prison, prisoners convicted of misdemeanor, and not seutenced to hard labour, shall be divided into at least two divisions, one of which shall be called the first division ; and whenever any person convicted of misde- meanor is sentenced to imprisonment without hard labour, the Court or Judge before whom such person has been tried may order, if such Court or Judge thinks fit, that such person shall be treated as a misdemeanant of the first division, and a misdemeanant of the first division shall not be deemed to be a criminal prisoner within the meaning of this Ordinance. Every person imprisoned under any rule, order, or attachment for contempt of Court shall be treated as a misdemeanant of the first division.

10. Every person who aids any prisoner in escaping or attempting to escape from any prison, or who, with intent to facilitate the escape of any prisoner, conveys or causes to be conveyed into any prison any mask, dress, or other disguise, or any letter, or any other article or thing, shall be guilty of felony, and on conviction be sentenced to im- prisonment with hard labour for a term not exceeding two years.

11. Every person who, contrary to the regulations of the prisons, brings or attempts by any means whatever to introduce into any prison any spiritnous or fermented liquor or tobacco or opium, and every officer of a prison who suffers any spirituous or fermented liquor or tobacco or opium to be sold or used therein, contrary to the prison regulations, on conviction shall be sentenced to imprison- ment for a term not exceeding six months, or to a penalty not execeding twenty pounds, or both in the discretion of

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH OCTOBER, 1885.

the Court, and every officer of a prison convicted under this section shall, in addition to any other punishment, forfeit his office and all arrears of salary due to him.

12. Every person who, contrary to the regulations of a prison, conveys or attempts to convey any letter or other document, or any article whatever not allowed by such regulatious into or out of any prison, shall on conviction incur a penalty not exceeding ten pounds, and, if an officer of the prison, shall forfeit his office and all arrears of salary due to him, but this section shall not apply in cases where the offender is liable to a more severe punishment under any other provision of this Ordinance.

13. The Superintendent shall cause to be affixed in a conspicuous place outside the prison a notice setting forth the penalties that will be incurred by persons committing any offence in contravention of the three preceding sections. 14. It shall be the duty of the Coroner to hold an in- quest on the body of every prisoner who may die within a prison, and in no case shall any officer of the prison, or any prisoner confined in the prison, or any person engaged in any sort of trade or dealing with the prison, be a Juror cn such inquest.

15. If any suit or action is prosecuted against any person for any thing done in pursuance of this Ordinance, such person may plead that the same was done by authority of this Ordinance; and if a verdict passes for the defendant, or the plaintiff becomes nonsuited, or discontinues his action after issue joined, or f, upon demurrer or otherwise, judg- ment be given against the plaintiff, the defendant shall recover double costs, and have the like remedy for the same as any defendant has by law in other cases; and though a verdict be given for the plaintiff in any such action, such plaintiff shall not have costs against the defendant, unless the Judge before whom the trial takes place certifies his approbation of the action and the verdict obtained there- upon.

16. Offences under this Ordinance, with the exception of felonies, and of offences for the mode of trial of which express provision is made by this Ordinance, shall be pro- secuted summarily before a Police Magistrate.

17. The Governor in Executive Council shall, as soon as possible after the commencement of this Ordinance, make rules for the regulation and government of prisons, and for the duties and conduct of the officers and other persons employed in prisons, and of the Visiting Justices, and for the classification, diet, clothing, maintenance, employment, dis- cipline, instruction, and correction of prisoners, and for all other matters relating to prisons, and may from time to time repeal, alter, or add to such rules, provided that such rules shall not be inconsistent with anything contained in this Ordinance. All such rules shall be published in the Govern- ment Gazette, and shall from the date of such publication be binding on all persons in the same manner as if they had been contained in this Ordinance. But every such rule or repeal or alteration of a rule may be disallowed by Her Majesty, and shall thereupon cease to have effect from the date of the publication of such disallowance in the Govern- ment Gazette. Until rules shall have been made under this section the regulations for the government of Victoria Gaol in force at the commencement of this Ordinance shall remain in force so far as they are not inconsistent with anything contained in this Ordinance.

18. The Governor shall from time to time appoint, with their consent, Justices of the Peace to be Visiting Justices for periods to be specified in such appointments.

Visiting Justices shall, during the period for which they are appointed, from time to time at frequent intervals visit all prisons, and hear any complaints which may be made to them by the prisoners, and shall report on any abuses within the prisons, or any repairs that may be required, and shall further take cognisance of any matters of pressing necessity and within the powers of their Commission as Justices, and do such acts and perform such duties in rela- tion to prisons as they may be required to do or perform by the Governor, but subject to the regulations with respect to the duties of Visiting Justices to be made by the Governor in Executive Council under this Ordinance.

19. Ordinances 4 of 1863 and 2 of 1878 are hereby repealed, and sections 63 of Ordinance 4 of 1865, and 50 of Ordinance 6 of 1865, and 95 of Ordinance 7 of 1865, and 36 of Ordinance 10 of 1865 shall be construed as if they referred to this Ordinance and the regulations made there- under, instead of to section 15 of Ordinance 1 of 1863,

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 10th October, 1885.

SIR,-I have the honour, by direction of the Governor, to inform you that no Vegetables have arrived in this Colony from Canton for several days, in consequence, as is alleged, of the imposition of a tax on them by the Chinese Authorities.

His Excellency will be obliged by your making an early representation on the subject to the Viceroy. As a daily supply of from 40 to 50 tons of Vegetables is required here, the present stoppage is a matter of very serious consequence to the Colony.

14th Nov., 1881; and Dr. HANCE to Acting Colonial

Secretary, No. 53 of 19th November, 1881.

If you will be good enough to refer to the correspondence noted in the margin, you will see that, on a former occasion, when a representation was made on a similar subject to the Chinese Authorities, the Superintendent of Customs expressly exempted Vegetables from the category of exports properly dutiable by law. Sir GEORGE BOWEN is therefore of opinion that all that is necessary on the present occasion is the mention of the matter by you to the Viceroy, and His Excellency is confident that your good offices will speedily secure a return to the hitherto unrestricted supply of this important article of food.

H.B.M. Consul, Canton, to Acting Colonial Secretary, Hongkong.

HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S CONSULATE,

CANTON, 14th October, 1885.

SIR,---In reply to your No. 1404 of 10th instant, I have the honour to state for the information of His Excellency Sir GEORGE BOWEN, that I to-day called on His Excellency HAI, the Superintendent of Customs of this province.

Mr. HAI was good enough to inform me that the duty on Vegetables had been imposed, not to raise a revenue, but to prevent smuggling, many half-chests of Tea having lately been smuggled to Hongkong in Vegetable's baskets; he promised to order that in future all Vegetables and fresh Fruit that have hitherto been allowed to go to Hongkong free of duty shall be allowed to do so in future, and His Excellency was kind enough to promise that he would see to the matter this very afternoon.

I have, &c.,

C. T. GARDNER.

The following Notice from the Government Astronomer is published for general information. By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th May, 1885.

W. H. MARSII,

Colonial Secretary.

NOTICE.

Meteorological Signals will be hoisted on the mast in front of the Police Barracks at Tsimshátsui :-

A red drum indicates the existence of a typhoon in the China Sea to the East of the Colony. A red cone pointing upwards indicates, that a

upwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude more Northern than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards North.

A red cone pointing downwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude, more Southern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards South.

A red ball indicates the existence of a typhoon somewhere to the West of the Colony. 2. The shipping community is supposed to be guided not solely by these signals, but to consult

The China Coast Meteorological Register issued daily from here.

3. The Meteorological signals do not imply that a typhoon is approaching the Colony. Local Storm-warnings are given by firing the gun placed at the foot of the mast. It will be fired one round, whenever a strong gale of wind is expected here. It will be fired two rounds, whenever the wind is expected to blow with storm or typhoon force, and it will be fired again, if possible, when the wind is likely to shift round suddenly,-such shifting being frequently accompanied by great disasters to the shipping.

4. In cases where special information is urgently required, enquiries at the Observatory should, if

possible, be made between 1 p. and 4 p., as I am particularly engaged at other times.

SIR,—I have the honour to request you to transmit the enclosed Memorandum to Colonel GRAVES, Commanding the 2nd Battalion of the Buff's (East Kent Regiment.)

2. I intend to forward by the next mail a copy of this Memorandum to the Secretary of State for the Colonies for transmission to the War Office.

MEMORANDUM.

Governor Sir GEORGE BOWEN cannot allow the 2nd Battalion of the Buffs (East Kent Regiment) to depart from this command without placing on record his high appreciation, as the Representative

of the QUEEN in this Colony, of their excellent conduct throughout the period of nearly four years during which they have been quartered at Hongkong.

A small garrison of Englishmen amid an overwhelming Oriental population is always in a some- what difficult position. But discipline in quarters is as strong a characteristic as gallantry in the field of this distinguished and historical Regiment. Both officers and men have always maintained friendly relations with all the races that make up this heterogeneous community. This conduct on their part has proved an important assistance to the Civil Government.

The Regiment leaves these shores with the sincere regret and hearty good wishes of the entire community.

The Governor requests Major-General CAMERON to transmit this Memorandum to Colonel GRAVES, Commanding the 2nd Battalion of the Buffs.

NOTICE.

Meteorological Signals will be hoisted on the mast in front of the Police Barracks at Tsimshatsui :---

A red drum indicates the existence of a typhoon in the China Sea to the East of the Colony. A red cone pointing upwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude more Northern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards North.

A red cone pointing downwards indicates, that a typhoon exists in a latitude, more Southern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards South.

A red ball indicates the existence of a typhoon somewhere to the West of the Colony.

2. The shipping community is supposed to be guided not solely by these signals, but to consult

The China Coast Meteorological Register issued daily from here.

3. The Meteorological signals do not imply that a typhoon is approaching the Colony. Local Storm-warnings are given by firing the gun placed at the foot of the mast. It will be fired one round, whenever a strong gale of wind is expected here. It will be fired two rounds, whenever the wind is expected to blow with storm or typhoon force, and it will be fired again, if possible, when the wind is likely to shift round suddenly, such shifting being frequently accompanied by great disasters to the shipping.

4. In cases where special information is urgently required, enquiries at the Observatory should, if

possible, be made between 1 p. and 4 p., as I am particularly engaged at other times.

The Governor then addressed the Council as follows:

to the

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.-Before proceeding order of the day, I desire to make a brief statement. In the speech with which I opened the present session, I addressed you as follows :--" Under the circumstances stated in report of the Colonial Treasurer which will be laid before you, it has been found necessary to increase the Police rate by 1 per cent. As the law of this Colony has hitherto stood, th power of assessing the municipal rates is vested solely in the Governor in Executive Council. I think that this anomaly, for which there is probably no precedent in any other part of the British Empire, should be removed; and that, for the future, the Municipal, like the general taxation should be imposed, after full consideration, by a vote of the Legislative Council. 1 have recommended to Her Majesty's Government that I should receive authority to carry out this reform." I have now much pleasure in informing you that I have received the approval of the Imperial Government to my recommendation. Accordingly, a new Municipal Rating Ordinance will be introduced, which will carry out the proposed reform. and so place the entire taxation of the Colony under the control of the Council.

THE SUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATION BILL, 1884.-REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.-COM- MITTED AND PASSED.-The Acting Colonial Secretary stated that the Finance Committee reported this Bill without amendment, and moved that the Council go into Committee on the Bill.

The Colonial Treasurer seconded.

Question-put and passed.

Bill passed.

THE APPROPRIATION BILL, 1886.-REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.-COMMITTED AND PASSED.- The Acting Colonial Secretary stated that the Finance Committee reported this Bill without amend- ment, and moved that the Council go into Committee on the Bill.

The Colonial Treasurer seconded.

Question-put and passed.

Bill reported without amendment.

Question put-that this Bill do pass.

Bill passed.

The Honourable P. RYRIE invited attention to the fact that the Minutes of the Finance Committee were not now read at the meetings of the Legislative Council which caused some discontent with the public.

The Honourable Member also addressed the Council on the subject of excessive charges by the Cargo-boat people.

The Honourable the Attorney General replied.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE OTHER ORders of the Day.--The Attorney General moved the postpone ment of the other Orders of the Day.

Question-put and passed.

BILL ENTITLED THE MUNICIPAL RATES ORDINANCE, 1885.-FIRST READING.-The Attorney General moved the first reading of this Bill.

RYRIE gave notice that at the next meeting he would move--"That an enquiry be made into the overcharges recently made by the owners of Cargo-boats the detriment of shipping interests, and that the Registrar General's department be empowered to dea! with all such grievances.'

The Council adjourned until Wednesday, the 4th proximo, at 4 P.M.

ARTICLE I.

The present Convention applies outside territorial waters to all legally established submarine cables landed on the territories, colonies, or possessions of one or more of the High Contracting Parties.

ARTICLE II.

It is a punishable offence to break or injure a submarine cable, wilfully or by culpable negligence, in such manner as might interrupt or obstruct telegraphic communication, either wholly or partially, such punishment being without prejudice to any civil action for damages.

This provision does not apply to cases where those who break or injure a cable do so with the lawful object of saving their lives or their ship, after they have taken every necessary precaution to avoid so breaking.or injuring the cable.

ARTICLE III.

The High Contracting Parties undertake that, on granting a concession for landing a submarine cable, they will insist, so far as possible, upon proper measures of safety being taken, both as regards the track of the cable and its dimensions.

ARTICLE IV.

The owner of a cable who, on laying or repairing his own cable breaks or injures another cable, must, bear the cost of repairing the breakage or injury, without prejudice to the application, if need be, of Article II. of the present Convention.

ARTICLE V.

Vessels engaged in laying or repairing submarine cables shall conform to the regulations as to signals which have been, or may be, adopted by mutual agreement among the High Contracting Parties, with the view of preventing collisions at sea.

When a ship engaged in repairing a cable exhibits the said signals, other vessels which see them, cr are able to see them, shall withdraw to or keep beyond a distance of one nautical mile at least from the ship in question, so as not to interfere with her operations.

Fishing gear and nets shall be kept at the same distance.

•

Nevertheless, fishing vessels which see or are able to see a telegraph ship exhibiting the said signals shall be allowed a period of twenty-four hours at most within which to obey the notice so given, during which time they shall not be interfered with in any way.

The operations of the telegraph ships shall be completed as quickly as possible.

ARTICLE VI.

Vessels which see, or are able to see, the buoys showing the position of a cable when the latter is being laid, is out of order, or is broken, shall keep beyond a distance of one-quarter of a nautical mile at least from the said buoys.

Fishing nets and gear shall be kept at the same distance.

ARTICLE VII.

Owners of ships or vessels who can prove that they have sacrificed an anchor, a net, or other fishing gear in order to avoid injuring a submarine cable shall receive compensation from the owner of the cable. In order to establish a claim to such compensation, a statement, supported by the evidence of the crew, should, whenever possible, be drawn up immediately after the occurrence; and the master must, within twenty-four hours after his return to, or next putting into port, make a declaration to the proper authorities.

The latter shall communicate the information to the consular authorities of the country to which the owner of the cable belongs.

ARTICLE VIII.

The tribunals competent to take cognizance of infractions of the present Convention are those of the country to which the vessel on board of which the offence was committed belongs.

It is, moreover, understood that, in cases where the provisions in the previous paragraph cannot apply, offences against the present Convention will be dealt with in each of the Contracting States in accordance, far as the subjects and citizens of those States respectively are concerned, with the general rules of criminal jurisdiction prescribed by the laws of that particular State, or by international treaties.

ARTICLE IX.

Prosecutions for infractions provided against by Articles H., V., and VI. of the present Convention shall be instituted by the State, or in its name.

The fact of such document having been exhibited shall the be endorsed upon it immediately. Further, formal statements of the facts may be prepared by the said officers, whatever may be the nationality of the vessel incriminated. These formal statements shall be drawn up in the form and in the language used in the country to which the officer making them belongs: they may be considered, in the country where they are adduced, as evidence in accordance with the laws of that country. The accused and the witnesses shall have the right to add, or to have added, thereto, in their own language, any explanations they may consider useful. These declarations shall be duly signed.

ARTICLE XI.

The proceedings and trial in cases of infraction of the provisions of the present Convention shall always take place as summarily as the laws and regulations in force will permit.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's luperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student,

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

Report of the FINANCE COMMITTEE ON THE BILL ENTITLED THE Loan Ordinance, 1885.—Th Acting Colonial Secretary read the following report of the Finance Committee on this Bill:-.

The Committee reports-

"That, considering the present unsettled value of silver, and more especially the steady depreciation of it which has taken place during the last twenty-five years, it is highly dang ous and inexpedient for this silver-using Colony to contract any debt re-payable in gold. i connection with which, judging from the experience of the past, a heavy loss in exchange almost sure to be sustained.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14тп NOVEMBER, 1885. 977

That instead of adopting such a course, it is desirable that the Government should raise money for its requirements by issuing, from time to time, from the Treasury in Hongkong, Debentures bearing interest at the annual rate of five per cent., thus avoiding costs and commissions of every kind, as well as the risk of loss on exchange.

That the raising of a loan in Hongkong, besides being free from all the expenses connected with the issue of Debentures or Stock at home, except for printing and stationery, will add to the Revenue of the Colony in Stamp Duty and in other ways; and moreover the Government will be in a position, from time to time, to redeem its own Debentures in any number, and to fix a much shorter period for the ultimate redemption of the loan than would be possible under the proposed Ordinance. The charge for interest will also be minimised, as the Debentures will be issued only as funds may be required.

The Committee therefore resolve that it is undesirable to proceed further with the Loan Bill in its present shape."

HONGKONG, 4th November, 1885.

MOTION.--The Honourable P. RYRIE, pursuant to notice, moved-"That an enquiry be made into the over-charges recently made by the owners of cargo-boats to the detriment of shipping interests, and that the Registrar General's Department be empowered to deal with all such grievances," and addressed the Council.

The Honourable T. JACKSON seconded, and addressed the Council.

The Attorney General replied.

The Honourable P. RYRIE then moved-That a select Committee of this Council consisting of the Honourable the Attorney General, the Honourable the Colonial Treasurer, the Honourable P. RYRIE, and the Honourable F. D. SASSOON, with the mover as Chairman, be appointed to enquire into this

mattér.

FINDING.

We find that the British Steam-ship Greyhound, Official No. 81647, WILLIAM CATHERALL SYDER, Master, whose Certificate of Competency was No. 01568, left Hongkong, on the 17th October last. bound for Hoihow and Pakhoi having on board about 120 Chinese passengers.

That at about noon the same day, the position of the ship being, Three Islands bearing North (Magnetic), distance about 6 miles, a number of the passengers, about 30, being armed with revolvers and daggers, attacked and overpowered the Officers, throwing the Master overboard, and took charge of the ship.

That after having plundered the vessel, and the remaining passengers, they disabled the Machinery, put out the fires, and stove in the boats, and that they left the ship at about 8 P.M., in three junks which had come alongside.

That on their departure, the Officers resumed their duties in charge of the ship, and the Chief Officer taking command, in the absence of the Captain, brought the vessel back to Hongkong.

We are unable to attribute blame to any of the Officers of the ship. Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 12th day of November, 1885.

THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION.

THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY.

INCE Electricity has been applied for light- ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have been directed to construct à lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this problem has till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to the system of producing the Electricity in some central place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that a Lamp which should ever become generally useful and popular, must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electricity in itself, . ., in the foot of the Lamp.

The Norman Electric Light Co. has at last | succeeded in completely realizing this ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of light- ing.

Our Electric Lamp, needs neither Machi- nery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreable in manipulation; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (3 ccuts per hour), and it has before the latter the im- mense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impured, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, ex- plosion or suffocation. as in the case of gas, if the key is left open; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of light- ing for the following reasons:

(1.) Its inanipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order.

(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place to another.

(3.) That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.

(4.) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one; that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree.

(5.) That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light will extinguish imme- diately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken.

(6.) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being inva- luable for illuminatious, lighting of gardens,

corridors, etc.

This Lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes:-

Address:

1, small size. Height of complete Lamp, 14 inches; weight, about 3 pounds; for lighting rcoms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose. Price, £1.-

Per Lamp, delivered free to any part of the world.

B. medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. This Lamp is elegantly decorated, and has removable white ground Glass Globe.

Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly and elegantly constructed), £2.- - delivered free to any part of the world.

C. Grand size for Parlor, Hall, Saloon, Public Building, &c. The Lamp gives a most brilliant and steady light, has large removable white Globe, decorated most tastefully, and the workmanship is both first-class and elegant. Price £4.10. –.

Foot of Lamp in either Bronze, Japanese,

Faïence or Silver Oxide,

Any special size or design made to order. Estimates furnished.

All Lamps are ready for immediate use, and will be sent, securely packed in strong wooden box, with printed directions for use, a quantity of chemicals sufficient for several months' lighting, and one extra burner for size A, and two for sizes B and C. The necessary che- micals can be purchased in any Drug Store, in even the smallest village.

Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will be exchanged, or money refunded, if the same should not give complete satisfaction.

On all orders for six Lamps and above, a discount of six per cent. will be allowed. No orders from abroad filled, unless accompanied by a remittance to cover the amount, or first- class references on a New York or Philadelphia house.

The best method of sending money is by draft on New York, which can be procured at any Banker, and everywhere, or euclose the amount in Bank notes, gold coius, or postage stamps of any country of the world.

All orders, the smallest, as well as the most important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay.

Our Electric Lamps are protected by law, and all imitations and infringements will be prosecnted.

The Honourable P. Rynie addressed the Council on the subject of this Bill, and read the follo ing letter from the Leaseholders, and Occupiers of land on Kowloon Point (Tsimshatsui) :-

HONGKONG, 11th November, 1885.

To the Honourable P. RYRIE,

Member of the Legislative Council.

SIR,-We, the undersigned, leaseholders or occupiers of land on what is now called Kowloo Point (lately Tsimshat'sui) beg to call your attention to the following facts, whereby we trust th you will be able to do something for our interest at the meeting of the Legislative Council this afternoon when the second reading of the Municipal Rates Ordinance, 1885, Bill takes place.

Up to the 30th June last the rate on all British Kowloon was 5 per cent. After that time it was raised to 6 per cent. per annum, and it is now proposed by the new Ordinance to raise the rate on that part of British Kowloon now called Kowloon Point to 8 per cent. per annum, the rate on Yaumati to be apparently only five per cent. We are not aware that it has become necessary to increase th Police force on Kowloon Point and we fail to see why Yaumáti (where there is a Police Station which contains a large number, no doubt, of turbulent people, salt smugglers amongst the number, should only be rated at five per cent. per annum. We respectfully submit that if it has becom necessary to augment the Police force at Kowloon Point it must be in consequence of the increase of Chinese at Yaumáti and not of any larger number of foreign residents at Kowloon Point, and that therefore it is not the Kowloon Point leaseholders who should be called upon to pay increased Municipal rates, but that the rate on Yaumáti should be raised if necessary, and that on Kowloo Point kept at its present figure of 6 per cent. per annum.

We further submit for consideration that as a great distinction is made between the rates levie! on Foreign occupied houses in the British, American and French Settlements in Shanghai, and thos occupied by Natives, the rates in the two former Settlements being in 1883 (and probably in 1884 anl 1885 the same distinction was and has been made) 8 per cent. on foreign occupied houses, and 10 per cent. on houses occupied by natives-and in the French Settlement the rate was 4 per cent. on foreign. and 8.per cent. on native occupied houses. Such distinction should also now be made in Hongkong and Kowloon, as there can be no doubt that a much larger Police force is required to keep the peac amongst the Chinese inhabitants, than amongst the Foreign community.

The men at the Water Police Station on Kowloon Point may at any time be all wanted on t!. water, and they should not therefore be considered as part of the force for the protection of Kowlo

Point.

Trusting that you will kindly give us your assistance in Council on the above subject, we remai.. Sir, your obedient servants,

(6.) In a prison where prisoners under the age of 16 years are confined, they shall be kept separate from prisoners of or above that age..

7. No cell shall be used for the separate confinement of a prisoner unless it has been approved in writing by the Governor for the purpose, and the Governor shall not give his approval in respect of any cell unless he is satisfied that it is of such a size, and is lighted, warmed, ventilated, and fitted up in such a manner as may be requisite for health, and furnished with the means of enabling the prisoner to communicate at any time with an officer of the prison; but a distinction may be made in respect of the use of cells for the separate confinement of prisoners during long and short periods of imprisonment, and in respect of the use of cells in which the prisoner is intended to be employed during the whole day, or for a long or short part thereof; and the Governor's approval may be varied accordingly, so as to express the period of imprisonment for which cach cell may be considered fit, and the number of hours in the day during which the prisoners may be employed therein.

times use great discretion in the disposal of his officers so as to prevent the escape of any pri- soners, remembering that their safe custody should be his first care.

292. The Assistant Turnkeys in charge of parties must remember always that the safe custody of the prisoners is their first care. They shall therefore place themselves when on the works so as at all times to command a good view of their men; they shall repeatedly count their prisoners during the day, and never turn their backs towards them, and shall on no account use a spade, pick, or any other tool, so as to place themselves at a disadvantage with regard to the prisoners.

293.-The Assistant Turnkeys shall be careful to ascertain that the anklets, chains, and padlocks are in proper order, and shall minutely examine them before leaving the Gaol, when knocking off work for the mid-day meal, and before returning to the Gaol in the evening.

295.-The Head Turnkey, the Turnkey, and the Sikh Guards will not fire at an escaping prisoner unless his escape cannot be prevented by any other means; and even then will only endeavour to disable him, remembering that loss of life is to be avoided if possible.

REMISSION OF SENTENCES, AND REWARDS UNDER THE

MARK SYSTEM,

297.-The time which every prisoner with a sentence of twelve months and upwards must pass in Prison will be represented by a certain number of marks, which he must earn by actual labour performed before he can be discharged.

298. No remission will be granted for con- duct. It is only on condition of good conduct and strict obedience that prisoners are allowed to earn by their industry a remission of a portion of their sentence. If, therefore, their conduct be indifferent or bad, they will be liable to be fined a certain number of marks, according to the nature and degree of the offence, and will then forfeit by misconduct the remission which they have earned by their industry.

299.-The marks will be given according to the following scale-

(a.) 6 marks a day for zealous and steady

hard labour.

(b.) 5 marks for a less degree of industry. (c) 4 marks for a moderate days work.

300.-The prisoner's marks will commence from the date of his sentence.

301. On the admission of a prisoner with a sentence of twelve months and upwards, such sentence will be reduced to days, which will be multiplied by four, thus giving the number of marks he is compelled to earn before his dis- charge; thus, take the twelve months sentence, 365 days multiplied by four will give 1,460, the number of marks he must carn at the rate of four a day to complete the whole of his sentence.

302.-If by his industry. the prisoner gains six marks a day, and does not lose any for mis- conduct, he earns the full remission of one third allowed by the Governor.

303.-On Sundays marks will be allowed for conduct alone. Except under special circum- stances where injury has accidentally resulted while on prison work, a prisoner will get five only marks a day during the time he is in Hospital. Prisoners on Light Labour by order of the Surgeon will not get more than five marks a day.

304.-Prisoners who by their misconduct forfeit the whole of their remission, will be liable to be kept in Separate Confinement during the last 6 months of their sentence.

305.-The Prison Officers will be supplied with books in which they will enter each evening the marks each prisoner has earned during the day.

306.-When a prisoner is sentenced to forfeit any marks which he has gained, the sentence should state the exact number of marks he is to lose, as, to forfeit six marks.

307.-Extra marks may be given by the Governor, on the recommendation of the Superin tendent, for special services such as:-

(a.) Giving information of plots.

(b.) Protecting Gaol Officers or prisoners from attack, or protecting them from imminent danger.

(c.) Preventing escapes, fires, &c.

(d.) Preserving order in case of disturbance. 308.-Marks will be forfeited by prisoners for misconduct according to the punishment inflicted, generally at the rate of

8 Marks for one Day Solitary Confinement

on Bread or Rice and Water, for one Day Bread or Rice and

Water,

for one Day Reduced Penal Diet,

for one Meal Stopped,

for one Pork Ration Stopped,

for one Meal Bread or Rice and

Water,

for a flogging.

309.-If a prisoner is reconvicted before the period of his remission has expired, he will be allowed to earn only five marks a day instead of six, and if he is reconvicted twice before the ex- piration of the period of remission, he will be allowed to earn no remission.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21st NOVEMBER, 1885.

310. All convicted criminal prisoners with sentences of twelve months and upwards who shall be employed at remunerative labour, will be allowed to earn a small gratuity at the rate of one cent for every six marks, but the whole gratuity for any one prisoner is not to exceed $10. In forfeiting marks for misconduct the proportionate amount of gratuity will also be forfeited.

311.-Convicts will not be allowed to earn any gratuity until they have served the first six months either in Separate Confinement or at No. 1 Hard Labour.

312. The name of every convict under a life sentence who has served fifteen years of his sen- tence, or having served ten years of his sentence has attained or is believed in the absence of positive evidence to have attained the age of sixty, shall be submitted for the consideration of the Governor in Executive Council. This rule will be com- municated to every such convict now in prison, and to any other on first reception into prison, but each must be made to distinctly understand that such submission in no way implies that any remission of sentence will necessarily be granted.

SEPARATE CONFINEMENT.

313.-Where the Gaol accommodation admits of it, all Male Penal Servitude prisoners shall be required to pass the first six months of their imprisonment in Separate Confinement.

314.-Penal Servitude Prisoners will be allowed one hour daily to exercise in the open air under the supervision of an officer, who will see that the prisoners do not converse together, either in going to the yard, while at exercise, or in return- ing to their cells.

315.-Such prisoners are to keep their cells and utensils perfectly clean at all times, and will be employed at crank labour, picking oakum, naking or mending clothes, shoe making or mending, &c.

316. Such prisoners shall on no account communicate or hold conversation with other

any prisoner, but shall at all times observe the strictest silence.

317. Such prisoners shall be permitted to write a letter on admission, if they wish it, to inform their friends of their whereabouts; but, with this exception they shall not write or re- ceive a letter, or receive a visit during the six months of their Separate Confinement.

318.-Felons, whom the Superintendent may have reasonable grounds for supposing to have been previously imprisoned for Felony, when sentenced to terms of Hard Labour will be required to pass a certain time in Separate Con- finement from one to six months according to the number of their previous convictions, and their conduct while in Gaol.

319.-Violent and disorderly prisoners may be placed in Separate Confinement at the discre- tion of the Superintendent for terms not exceed- ing seven days at any one time.

THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION.

THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY.

INCE Electricity has been applied for light-

ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this problem has till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to the system of producing the Electricity in some central place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that a Lamp which should ever become generally useful and popular, must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electricity in itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp.

The Norman Electric Light Co. has at last succeeded in completely realizing this ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of light- ing.

Our Electric Lamp, needs neither Machi- nery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreable in manipulation; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (3 cents per hour), and it has before the latter the im- mense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impured, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, ex- plosion or suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is left open; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of light- ing for the following reasons:

(1.) Its manipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order.

(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place to another.

(3.) That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.

(4.) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one; that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree.

21, small size. Height of complete Lamp, 14 inches; weight, about 5 pounds; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose. Price, £1.

Per Lamp, delivered free to any part of the world.

B. medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. This Lamp is elegantly decorated, and has, removable white ground Glass Globe.

Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly and elegantly constructed), £2. - delivered free to any part of the world.

Foot of Lamp in either Bronze, Japanese, Faïence or Silver Oxide.

Any special size or design made to order. Estimates furnished.

Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will be exchanged, or money refunded, if the same should not give complete satisfaction.

The best method of sending money is by draft on New York, which can be procured at any Banker, and everywhere, or enclose the amount in Bank notes, gold coius, or postage stamps of any country of the world.

All orders, the smallest, as well as the most important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay. Our Electric Lamps are protected by

be prosecuted.

(5.) That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light will extinguish immc-law, and all imitations and infringements will

diately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken.

(6.) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being inva- luable for illuminations, lighting of gardens,

corridors, etc.

This Lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes

a first time, and published in the Gazette for general information. As I stated in the Speech with which I opened this Session, the additional revenue to be raised by this measure was intended to cover the interest and sinking fund of the Loan proposed for certain extraordinary public works, chiefly of Water Supply, Sanitation, and Defence. As the Council already knows, it is not intended to borrow during the year 1886 more than $100,000, the charge for which sum would be about $20,000. Now I have much pleasure in announcing that a new arrangement has been made by which the Opium Farm will realise next year an increase over the current year of $24,000, which will more than cover the first year's charge for interest. Under these altered circumstances, it has been decided not to procced further with the Spirits Ordinance before the beginning of 1886, when the accounts for the current year will have been laid on the table; and the Council will be in a position to judge more accurately than is possible at present of the future financial position of the Colony. It is confidently hoped that the progressive development of our commerce, now relieved from the depression caused by the recent hostilities in this part of the world, will of itself lead to a growing extension of the public revenue.

【OTICE is hereby given that all Persons

INCE Electricity has been applied for light-

been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this problem has till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to the system of producing the Electricity in some cential place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that Lamp which should ever become generally useful and popular, must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electricity in itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp.

Our Electric Lamp, needs neither Machi- nery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreable in manipulation; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (3 cents per hour), and it has before the latter the im- mense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impured, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, ex- plosion or suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is left open; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of light- ing for the following reasons:

(1.) Its manipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order.

(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place to another.

(3.) That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.

(4.) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one; that it never lickers, and the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree.

(5.) That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light will extinguish imme- diately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken,

(6.) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being inva-

luable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, etc.

This Lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes:-

Address:

, small size. Height of complete Lamp, 14 inches; weight, about 5 pounds; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose. Price, £1. –

Per Lamp, delivered free to any part of the world.

B, medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. This Lamp is elegantly decorated, and has removable white ground Glass Globe.

Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly and elegantly constructed). £2.-

delivered free to any part of the world. C. Grand size for Parlor, Hall, Saloon, Public Building, &c. The Lamp gives a most brilliant and steady light, has large removable white Globe, decorated most tastefully, and the workmanship is both first-class and elegant. Price £4.10.

Foot of Lamp in either Bronze, Japanese, Faïence or Silver Oxide.

Any special size or design made to order. Estimates furnished.

Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will be exchanged. or money refunded, if the same should not give complete satisfaction.

The best method of sending money is by draft on New York, which can be procured at any Banker, and everywhere, or enclose the amount in Bank notes, gold coins, or postage stamps of any country of the world.

All orders, the smallest, as well as the most important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay.

THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY.

INCE Electricity has been applied for light-

been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this problem has till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to the system of producing the Electricity in some cential place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that a Lamp which should ever become generally useful and popular, must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electricity in itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp.

Our Electric Lamp, needs neither Machi- nery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreable in manipulation; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (2 cents per hour), and it has before the latter the im- mense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impured, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, ex- plosion or suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is left open; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of light- ing for the following reasons:

(1.) Its manipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order.

(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place to another.

(3.) That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.

(4.) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one; that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree.

(5.) That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light will extinguish imme- diately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken.

(6.) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being inva- luable for illuminations, lighting of gardens,

corridors, etc.

This Lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes:-

Address:

, small size. Height of complete Lamp, 14. inches; weight, about 5 pounds; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose. Price, £1.-

Per Lamp, delivered free to any part of the world.

B, medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. This Lamp is elegantly decorated, and has removable white ground Glass Globe.

Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly and elegantly constructed), £2. delivered free to any part of the world.

Foot of Lamp in either Bronze, Japanese, Faïence or Silver Oxide.

Any special size or design made to order. Estimates furnished.

All Lamps are ready for immediate use, and will be sent, securly packed in strong wooden box, with printed directions for use, a quantity of chemicals sufficient for several months' lighting, and one extra burner for size A, and two for sizes B and C. The necessary che- micals can be purchased in any Drug Store, in even the smallest village.

Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will be exchanged, or money refunded, if the same should not give complete satisfaction.

On all orders for six Lamps and above, & discount of six per cent. will be allowed. No orders from abroad filled, unless accompanied by a remittance to cover the amount, or first- class references on a New York or Philadelphia, house.

All orders, the smallest, as well as the most attention, and will be forwarded without de.......y. important, will receive the same partiera:

Our Electric Lamps are protected by law, and all imitations and infringements will be prosecuted.

Agents, Salesmen on Commission, and Consignees for our Lamps, wanted everywhere. No special knowledge or capital required.

A fortune to be made by active persons.

(1.)

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

I desire to announce officially to you that I intend to proceed from this Colony to India, on my way to England, on the 19th of this month. As you are already aware, I had obtained leave of absence on medical certificate at the beginning of this year, but I then felt that it was my duty to remain at my post during the protracted crisis of the Franco-Chinese hostilities, and of the threatened war with Russia. Her Majesty's Government have expressed "their high appreciation of the public spirit which led me to this decision." Now that peace has been restored, the permission to return to England has been renewed. After twenty-six years' continuous service as the Representative of the Queen in five Colonies successively, it will be agreed that I have fully earned a period of rest..

The following Farewell Address of His Excellency the Governor to the Legislative Council, together with the reply thereto, is published for general information.

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th December, 1885,

ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR SIR G. F. BOWEN, G.C.M.G. TO THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG, DECEMBER 9TH, 1885; WITH THE ADDRESS OF THE COUNCIL IN REPLY.

(1.)

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH DECEMBER, 1885. 1067

2. One of the most eminent of the Governors of Crown Colonies, in bidding farewell to his Council, remarked: "I think it very useful that the last Address of a Governor should be exhaustive; that it should touch on all subjects of public interest; that it should be a standard of comparison by which the progress of the Colony may be measured at different epochs." Accordingly, in pursuance of the custom established elsewhere, I will take advantage of this opportunity to place on record a brief review of the principal acts of my administration here, which has lasted for nearly three years. These years have been very critical and eventful both as regards this Colony, the centre of British power, influence and commerce in the Far East, and also as regards European interests generally in this quarter of the globe, which contains one-fourth of the human race, and which must yet fill a great place in the history of the world.

3. Soon after my assumption of this Government in the early part of the year 1883, I satisfied myself, after careful study of the position of your affairs, that there were three subjects of pressing importance to which I should first direct my special attention. These were:

(a.) The reconstitution of the Legislative Council.

(b.) The commencement of the much-needed Works of Water-supply and Sanitation. (c.) The Defence of the Colony.

4. To the reconstitution of this Council, so as to make it representative of the Colony generally, I attached primary importance; for when an energetic English community like that of Hongkong has acquired an adequate voice and control in the management of its own local and municipal affairs, all necessary and well-considered internal reforms should follow. Accordingly, I procured the assent of the Imperial Government to a large increase in the number of the un-official members, while I gave the privilege of freely nominating their own representatives to the two principal Public Bodies, viz. the Bench of Magistrates and the Chamber of Commerce, which comprise the chief residents of every nationality. Thus the property, intelligence, and. education of the Colony are now directly repre- sented in this Council. I observed in a previous address: "it will always be one of the most satisfactory reminiscences of my long public career that I have been able to procure a more adequate representation in this Council of the community at large."

5. Again, when I found that under the former law of this Colony, the power of assessing the Municipal taxation was vested solely in the Governor, I procured the consent of Her Majesty's Government to the removal of this anomaly, which was probably without precedent in any other part of the British Empire. Thus, here as elsewhere, the entire taxation of the Colony will henceforth be under the control of the Colonial Legislature.

6. Moreover, in opening the Session for 1884, I addressed you as follows: "For obvious reasons, it is in the highest degree important that this Council should adhere to the constitutional forms followed by the Legislatures of the other principal Crown Colonies. The address of the Governor at the opening of cach annual Session will contain, here as elsewhere, a general view of the Financial and Social condition of the Colony, and a statement of the Legislative and other measures, and of the public works proposed. So the Address of the Council in reply will afford the members of the Legislature the usual constitutional opportunity of expressing their opinion of the conduct and proposals of the Government." To these observations you replied as follows: "We concur in the advisability of assimilating the proceedings of this Legislature to the constitutional forms established in the other principal Crown Colonies."

7. Simultaneously with the steps taken towards the reconstitution of this Council, I gave authority, with your consent, for the commencement of those large measures of Water-supply and Sanitation, which Mr. CHADWICK, the Commissioner sent out from England, had reported to be absolutely necessary "for the immediate benefit of the public health;" but which were in abeyance on my arrival. Among the more prominent of these public works have been the very extensive improvements and additions to the main drainage of the City; and to the roadways and pavements, more especially in the 'Chinese quarters; together with the organization of a complete system of practical sanitation and daily removal of waste products; the reclamation and embanking of noxious foreshores at Kennedy Town, Hung- hòm, and Yaumáti, and their conversion into healthy and remunerative building land; the extension of the City to the westward, and the opening out of new areas to the commercial and industrial enterprise of the Colony; the construction of mountain roads for the health and recreation of the community, and the utilization of mountain sites for the erection of summer residences; the continued spread of tree-planting in the hitherto arid hill districts of the island, to the eventual amelioration of the climate these, and many other kindred works of scarcely less interest to the health and well- being of the people, have been inaugurated with your assistance and by your votes, during my adminis-

tration.

8. You are already aware that, while authorising the works required for the internal health and progress of the Colony, I took early and effective measures for its external defence. On May 12th, 1883, only six weeks after my assumption of this Government, I opened the question of the Defences in an elaborate despatch to the Secretary of State, in which, after entering fully into detailed statements and arguments, l'added: "It has been frequently shown that Hongkong commands our trade routes

1068 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH DECEMBER, 1885.

in the Far East; that shipping to the amount of above five millions of tons (a larger tonnage than that which entered the Port of London forty years ago), yearly enters this Port; and that it is of paramount importance not to suffer any nation, or possible confederacy of nations, to destroy or lessen the prestige and influence of Great Britain with China and Japan, those rich and vast countries which have in all human probability a great future before them." I concluded in the following terms: "I submit that your Lordship should move the War Office to prepare a full and final plan for the defences of Hongkong, and that such plan should be transmitted to both the Governor and the General Commanding the Troops, with instructions to use all the authority and influence of their respective offices to assist in carrying it into execution." I followed up this opening by a long series of official despatches and of private letters to English Statesmen, and to the chief Authorities at the War Office. My persistent representations, aided by those of the Naval and Military Authorities at this Station, and by the energetic support of this Council, have led to the undertaking of that system of Defence Works which is now being vigorously pushed forward by General CAMERON. Moreover, my application, also supported by this Council, for a flotilla of torpedo boats was granted by Her Majesty's Government. As I said in a recent address: "It is morally certain that our defences by land and sea will be com- pleted before there will be any occasion to test them; and, as you already know, the highest Naval and Military Authorities in the Empire consider that, when completed, they will place Hongkong in safety against foreign attack."

•

9. I may next remind you that the action of my Government throughout the difficult and delicate crisis of the Franco-Chinese hostilities met with the entire approval of the Imperial Government. With the support of Admiral Sir W. DOWELL, with whom I was in constant cominunication, I mnain- tained British rights and British neutrality, and, at the same time, I preserved friendly relations with the Belligerent Powers. Socially, I made the Governinent House a neutral ground on which English, French, American, German, Russian, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese Ministers, Admirals, Generals, and other high Officers, on visiting this Port, frequently met, and so learned to be in good humour with England, and to some extent with each other.

10. I have never failed to direct, from time to time, the attention of the Imperial Government, and of the British Legation at Peking, to measures calculated to advance the interests of the mercantile community, such as the opening to commerce of the great South-Western Provinces of China. The cordial co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce has never failed me.

11. Throughout my administration, I have devoted much care to the improvement of the public institutions and establishments; and, above all, to public education. I have elsewhere expressed my belief that the new Victoria College, with its scholarships enabling some of the most promising students to complete their education in England, will render an important service not only to this Colony, but also ultimately to the neighbouring Empire of China; and that this will prove a powerful and honourable method of extending British influence. Already indeed several men in high office under the Chinese Government owe their education to the schools established at Hongkong under British auspices.

12. In connection with our public establishments, I desire to place on record my high appreciation of the ability, diligence, and public spirit of the Heads of the chief Departments of Government who form the Executive Council; and of the faithful and efficient discharge of their duty by the Civil Service generally.

13. With regard to Legislation, there have been passed during my administration fifty-five Ordinances; many of which are additions of permanent value to the Statute-Book.

14. To sum up :-The reconstitution of this Council, with increased control over the management of the local affairs and taxation of the Colony ;--the extensive Works of Water-supply, Sanitation. and Defence;--the new Victoria College; the new Public Park; the reclamation of Causeway Bay; together with many other important Public Works;-a large amount of useful and practical legislation; these must ever remain permanent monuments alike of my administration, and of your support. Whatever measure of success may have been gained by my Government, it could not have been achieved without your able, experienced, and hearty assistance. As I remarked once before, Governors and Legislatures should speak by their actions; " and it is confidently hoped that our united efforts will be found hereafter to have promoted the general welfare of all races and classes in this Colony.

፡፡

Finally, in bidding you Farewell, I pray that you, Honourable Gentlemen, and the long line of your successors in this Council, may exercise your important functions through years of growing prosperity and happiness. During the brief period of forty-three years which have elapsed since this island, then barren and desolate, was erected into a British Colony, it has risen, by the blessing of Providence on the enterprise and energy of our race, to the proud position of the third greatest Mart of shipping in the British Empire, ranking next after London and Liverpool. If this city cannot boast the ancient historical associations of the great cities of the Mother-Country, it will be remembered that (as it has been truly observed), the lot cannot be considered otherwise than fortunate of those who have to make, instead of inheriting history.

REPLY OF THE COUNCIL.

1069

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY.

We, the Members of the Legislative Council, have listened with great interest to your Excellency's review of the history and progress of public affairs during the term of your administration of this Government. This period, though shorter than a Governor's usual tenure of office, has been marked by events of the greatest interest to the communities in the Far East, and more especially to the com- munity of this Colony. We agree with your Excellency as to the undoubted usefulness of a glance at the past, which' is too apt, under the continuous pressure of business, to be forgotten in the absorbing interests of the present.

2. Your Excellency's administration will always be associated in our minds with much personal kindness, consideration, and hospitality, as well as with the memory of a constant and assiduous attention to facilitating the course of public business.

3. We are glad of this opportunity of acknowledging the great services your Excellency has rendered to the cause of good government in this Colony by your successful efforts towards a larger and fairer representation of its community, and a more effective control of our finances. We have lately learned with pleasure the progress made in our greatest public work, the extensive scheme for improving the water-supply of the city. We cannot but regard with satisfaction the rapid and indeed wonderful development of this Colony, both during the past forty years and as it is proceeding at present; and we are happy to think that the day is not far distant when the defences of Hongkong may be considered commensurate with the magnitude of the interests to be protected. We join with your Excellency in the fervent hope that the public works commenced, and the changes inaugurated during your administration will bear ample fruit in the future to the permanent benefit of the Colony.

4. We rejoice that a tedious and desolating' war has been brought to a close, and the difficult questions raised by it happily terminated. We congratulate your Excellency on the success with which you maintained the difficult attitude of neutrality during the serious crisis forced on this Colony by conflicting interests of international importance.

5. In cordially reciprocating your Excellency's kind expressions, we can only hope that every administration of the Government of Hongkong will be marked by an observance of the same sound constitutional rules which have invariably guided you, by the same healthful freedom of speech and abundant opportunity for debate, and by the same avoidance of any tendency to infuse private views and individual fancies into the legitimate current of public business.

6. With these words we respectfully bid your Excellency Farewell, hoping that you may long enjoy the rest earned by more than a quarter of a century's service, and that your unequalled experience may be found of service in the Councils of the Empire.

THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION.

THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY.

QINCE Electricity has been applied for light-

been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this problem

has till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to the system of producing the Electricity in some central place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that a Lamp which should ever become generally useful and popular, must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electricity in itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp.

A, small size. Height of complete Lamp, 14 inches; weight, about 5 pounds; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose. Price, £1.–

Per Lamp, delivered free to any part of the world.

B. medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. elegantly decorated, and has removable white This Lamp is ground Glass Globe.

Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly and elegantly constructed), £2.- delivered free to any part of the world. C. Grand size for Parlor, Hall, Saloon, Public Building, &c. The Lamp gives a most brilliant and steady light, has large removable

Our Electric Lamp, needs neither Machi- nery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreable in manipulation; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (3 cents per hour), and it has before the latter the im- mense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impured, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, ex-. plosion or suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is left open; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of light- ing for the following reasons:

(1.) Its manipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order.

(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place to another.

(3.) That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.

(4.) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one; that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree.

(5.) That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light will extinguish imme- diately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken.

(6.) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being inva

luable for illuminations, lighting of gardens,

corridors, etc.

This Lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes :-

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th December, 1885.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

ADDRESS FROM THE CIVIL SERVICE TO GOVERNOR SIR G. F. BOWEN, G.C.M.G.; WITH HIS EXCELLENCY'S REPLY.

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,

(1.)

1. We, the Members of the Hongkong Civil Service, desire to address you on the eve of your departure from the Colony.

2. We wish to give expression to our grateful sense of the unvarying and unfailing courtesy and consideration which have marked your relations with every branch of the Service throughout the term of your administration.

3. We recognise with great pleasure that it has always been Your Excellency's endeavour to smooth away difficulties, and to promote a spirit of harmony among the various Departments.

4. In bidding Your Excellency Farewell, we sincerely trust that you may long be spared to enjoy the leisure which you have so well earned, and that the large experience which you have acquired in the administration of Colonial affairs during five successive Governments may, for many years to come, be available in the Service of the State.

5. In conclusion, we beg to offer Your Excellency our best wishes for the health and prosperity of yourself and of your family.

HONGKONG, 18th December, 1885.

(Here follow the Signatures.)

(2.) REPLY.

GENTLEMEN,

I thank you sincerely for this Address. I am glad to take this opportunity of repeating my testimony to the ability, experience, and public spirit of the Heads of Departments who form the Executive Council; and to the fidelity and diligence with which the Members of the Civil Service generally perform their important duties.

The Civil Service of this Colony comprises gentlemen of many races and creeds, Europeans and Asiatics. But I have found all to be animated by feelings of loyalty to our common Sovereign, the Queen, and by a desire to use their utmost endeavours to co-operate harmoniously with Her Majesty's Representative in the administration of the Colony.

I cordially reciprocate your good wishes for my family and myself, and bid you one and all a hearty Farewell.

G. F. BOWEN.

The following Report of the Exhibition Commissioners to Governor Sir G. F. BOWEN, G.C.M.G., together with His Excellency's reply thereto, is published for general information.

By Command,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

REPORT OF THE EXHIBITION COMMISSIONERS TO GOVERNOR SIR G. F. BOWEN, G.C.M.G.; WITH HIS EXCELLENCY'S REPLY.

(1.)

HONGKONG, December 18th, 1885.

SIR,

The Commission appointed by your Excellency to organize an Exhibition of the products, manufactures, and resources of this Colony, have the honour to report to you the steps which they

have taken in the matter.

They were met at the outset by the difficulty they have experienced in having to deal with a Colony which is almost entirely non-productive; and which is dependent for its prosperity upon the trade which is carried on it under the shelter of the British Flag, in a favourable geographical position.

The Commission considered that while exhibiting the manufactures and industries of the Colony, an adequate impression could not be conveyed of the principal resources of Hongkong without representing to some extent the staple articles of commerce and retail trade on which the City of Victoria has grown.

It being impracticable to deal exhaustively with so large a subject in the space allotted to Hong-. kong, the Commission have contented themselves with exhibiting the main articles of commerce exported through Hongkong from the adjoining province of Kwangtung; and they have taken the opportunity to exhibit the important article of silk in such a way as to enable an estimate to be formed of the comparative merits of the silk produced and manufactured in the British possessions with that which is shipped from this Colony.

The resources of local retail trade the Commission thought might be best illustrated by a Shop or Bazaar organized under Chinese auspices, in accordance with the precedents of former years in the Exhibitions heretofore held.

The classification, therefore, of the Exhibits sent from this Colony may be best given under the heads of :--

1. Commerce; silk and other staples of local commerce.

2. Articles of local retail trade; (Left to the choice of the Chinese interested.)

3. Manufactures and Industries; including all industries, whether Steam or Manual, carried

on in the Colony, and of commercial or tradal value to it.

►

4. Local appliances of civilized life; comprising Printing, Book-binding, Shoe-making,

Education, Furniture, &c., &c.

5. Social and domestic features of the Island; illustrated by photographs, and models, and

other exhibits.

6. Indigenous resources; such as granite and wood.

The Commission hope that your Excellency will excuse unavoidable short-comings in carrying out the undertaking.

They have throughout been dependent on the voluntary services of gentlemen engaged in their ordinary avocations; and they have been constantly confronted with the collapse of important features of their scheme, necessitating a corresponding re-adjustment of plan.

;

The Commission desire to thank your Excellency for the ready support you have given to them and they regret that they are unable to afford you an apportunity of inspecting the exhibits before your departure from the Colony. They are glad to know that you will be able to see them in their integrity in London.

In conclusion, the Commission wish to express their best thanks to all the gentlemen who have kindly associated themselves with the undertaking; and to Mr. WEI YUK and Dr. Ho KAI, and the other Members of the Chinese Commission, for their exertions in connection with the Chinese Community.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

His Excellency

Sir G. F. BOWEN, G.C.M.G.,

&c.,

(2.) REPLY.

1099

MR. KESWICK AND GENTLEMEN,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, December 19th, 1885.

I have read with interest the report presented to me by you; and I thank you for the efforts which you

have made to secure for this Colony an adequate representation at the Indian and Colonial Exhibition to be held in London in 1886. As I remarked on a former occasion, Hongkong is the centre of British power, influence, and commerce, in this quarter of the globe, which contains above one-fourth of the human race, and must yet fill a great place in the history of the world. Therefore, as I know on the highest authority, English Statesmen attach greater importance to this Colony than to other Colonies of far larger territorial extent. Consequently, I have given my zealous support to securing for Hongkong a proper recognition at the approaching Exhibition.

2. It has been observed that "the happy inspiration of the genius of the lamented Prince Consort inaugurated, in the year 1851, a new era for exhibiting the state of development of the arts and manu- factures of all nations. For the first time in history, an admirable opportunity was then afforded for instituting a comprehensive comparison of their relative progress in those sciences and inventions which constitute the types of an advanced civilization. We all know that the splendid conception of the Prince proved a brilliant and triumphant success. The impulse that it gave to taste was immense. The rapid improvements which subsequently took place in every art and manufacture were everywhere most marked and conspicuous. Abundant proofs of the wonderful extent to which this progress has been carried were apparent to all those who have witnessed the subsequent Exhibitions at London, Paris, Vienna, and Philadelphia. The whole world appears to have been stimulated to put forth its utmost energies in waging this vital and critical contest of Peace. Each separate community has competed in keen, but friendly rivalry to excel every other, and has advanced at railway speed along the road of improvement in the arts and manufactures of its own individual nationality.'

3.. It is certain, moreover that the care and cost expended on International and Intercolonial Exhibitions cannot be in vain; for they place, as it were, on record for present use and future reference, the arts and inventions, the products and capabilities of various lands; thus affording the means of comparison between different countries and determining the localities on which commerce can rely for its supplies, and the fresh channels which it may be expedient to open.

4. In recent years, Hongkong has been gradually becoming a manufacturing and industrial, as well as a commercial centre. It is hoped that the approaching Exhibition will draw attention not only to those staples which have hitherto constituted the chief riches of the trade of this Colony, but also to many new and valuable products and sources of wealth not as yet fully developed, but which will hereafter furnish alike the material and the reward for the exercise of intelligent and successful enter- prise.

5. It is a singular coincidence that almost the last public act of my government of the great Colony of Victoria was the inauguration of the building for the Melbourne Exhibition of 1880. Let me, in conclusion, now repeat the hope which I then expressed, namely that these periodical Shows of the resources and products of every part of the British Empire may prove a foreshadowing of that perma- nent union and future Imperial Federation, which has become the general aspiration of patriotic Englishmen. Thus, shall we be brought nearer to that grand prophetic vision of BURKE, when "the spirit of the English constitution, infused through the mighty mass, shall pervade, vivify, unite, and invigorate every part of the Empire."

Our Electric Lamp, needs neither Machi- nery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreable in manipulation; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (3 cents per hour), and it has before the latter the im- mense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impured, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, ex- plosion or suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is left open; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of light- ing for the following reasons:

(1.) Its manipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order.

(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place to another.

(3.) That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.

(4.) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one; that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree.

(5.) That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light will extinguish imme- diately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken.

(6.) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being inva- luable for illuminations, lighting of gardens,

corridors, etc.

This Lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes :-

Address:

the workmanship is both first-class and elegant. Price £4.10. –

Foot of Lamp in either Bronze, Japanese, Faïence or Silver Oxide.

Any special size or design made to order. Estimates furnished.

All Lamps are ready for immediate use, and will be sent, securely packed in strong wooden box, with printed directions for use, a quantity of chemicals ufficient for several months' lighting, and one extra burner for size A, and two for sizes B and C. The necessary che- micals can be purchased in any Drug Store, in even the smallest village.

Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will be exchanged, or money refunded, if the same should not give complete satisfaction.

All orders, the smallest, as well as the most important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay.

Our Electric Lamps are protected by law, and all imitations and infringements will be prosecuted.

Agents, Salesmen on Commission, and Consignees for our Lamps, wanted everywhere. No special knowledge or capital required.

A fortune to be made by active persons.

Shoal Ground Southward of Litsitah Point.

Information has been received, of the existence of shoal ground extending southward of Litsitah point, Fisher island:--- In April 1885, the French ironclad Triomphante struck on a rock southward of Litsitah point, and from soundings subse- quently taken in the vicinity, it was ascertained that shoal rocky ground extends half a mile southward of that point.

In May 1885, the British steam-vessel Welcome also struck on a rock southward of Litsitah point, and sustained considerable damage; it is considered that this rock is identical with that on which the Triomphante struck. NOTE.-Vessels should not pass southward of Litsitah point within the distance of about one mile.

THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY.

INCE Electricity has been applied for light-

SINCE

ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this problem has till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to the system of producing the Electricity in some cential place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that a Lamp which should ever become generally useful and popular, must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electricity in Deed of Assignment and Re- itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp.

The cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (3 cents per hour), and it has before the latter the im-' mense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impured, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, ex- plosion or suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is left open; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of light- ing for the following reasons:

(1.) Its manipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order.

(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place to another.

(3.) That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.

(4.) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one; that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree.

(5.) That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light will extinguish imme- diately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken.

(6.) That it will barn, even in the strongest, wind, completely unaffected, thus being inva-

luable for illuminations, lighting of gardens,

corridors, etc.

This Lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes :

Address:

Per Lamp, delivered free to any part of the world.

B, medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. This Lamp is elegantly decorated, and has removable white ground Glass Globe.

Foot of Lamp in either Bronze, Japanese, Faïence or Silver Oxide.

Any special size or design made to order. Estimates furnished.

All Lamps are ready for immediate use, and will be sent, securely packed in strong wooden box, with printed directions for use, a quantity of chemicals sufficient for several months' lighting, and one extra burner for size A, and two for sizes B and C. The 'necessary che- micals can be purchased in any Drug Store, in even the smallest village.

Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will be exchanged, or money refunded, if the same should not give complete satisfaction.

Ou all orders for six Lamps and above, a discount of six per cent. will be allowed. No orders from abroad filled, muless accompanied by a remittance to cover the amount, or first- class references on a New York or Philadelphia house.

All orders, the smallest, as well as the most important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay.

Our Electric Lamps are protected by law, and all imitations and infringements will be prosecuted.

Agents, Salesmen on Commission, and Consignees for our Lamps, wanted everywhere. No special knowledge or capital required.

A fortune to be made by active persons.
