THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION.

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.

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 The cost it every four or five days with acid. 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:

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. 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, Faience 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 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.

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.

His Excellency the Governor then said:-

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN,--I desire to state that it is highly satisfactory to me that I

uld have

now passed an Ordinance which, for the first time in the history of this Colony, places the entire taxation under the control of this Council.

FAREWELL ADDRESS OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.-His Excellency the Governor wast pleased to speak as follows:--

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.

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 reasons, it is in the highest degree important that this Council should forms followed by the Legislatures of the other principal Crown Colonies.

as follows: "For obvic is adhere to the constitutional The address of the Governor

HAMBAT GAZEITE, 9TH JANUARY, 1886.

at the opening of each 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 improvenients 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- hom, and Yaumati, 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 summe: 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, I added: "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 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 communication. I main- tained British rights and British neutrality, and, at the same time, I preserved friendly relations with the Belligerent Powers. Socially, I made the Government 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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JANUARY, 1886.

12. In connection with our public establishments, I desire to place on ecord 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 eflicient 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 t 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.

The Honourable P. RYRIE then addressed His Excellency as follows:-

Your Excellency, I rise to move an address in reply to the eloquent address you have just given us. It gives me much pleasure to record that since you have been President of this Council your management of the public business of the colony has been such as I have never seen equalled in this chamber. I think that since we have had these regular meetings the business has gone on much more smoothly, and if anything happens we always meet again very soon and can put the matter straight. The Council has, during the whole of your time here, been a most harmonious one. Now and then there have been discussions; perhaps I myself have been the greatest disturber of the peace-but the other members of Council have taken my ebullitions very good naturedly, your Excellency especially. With these remarks, if your Excellency will allow me. I will read the address in reply:--

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 past, which is too apt, under the continuous pressure of business, to be forgotten in the absorbing interests of the present.

the

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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JANUARY, 1886.

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.

His Excellency replied as follows:-

I can only say a few words in thanking my Honourable Friend, the Senior Un-official Member, for the extremely kind terms in which he has spoken of me; and I thank the Council for this most gratifying reply to my address. I shall always as long as I live treasure it as one of the most precious heirlooms of my family.

There being no other business on the Order of the Day, the Council adjourned until Wednes day, the 6th proximo, at 4 P.M.

THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION.

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 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 Lanip, and contain the generator of Electricity in itself, i, e., in the foot of the Lamp.

The Norman Electric Light Co. has at Inst 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 us gas (3 cents per hour), and it has before the latter the im- inense 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 aroiding 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 Lainp is constructed for the present in three different sizes:

Address:

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. This Lamp is elegantly decorated, and har removable white ground Glass Globe.

￡2.

Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly and elegantly constructed), delivered free to any part of the world. C. Grand sizo for Parlor, Hall, Saloon, Public Building, &c. The Lamp gives a most brilliant and steady light, has large removable white Globe, decorated most tastefully, ald the workmanship is both first-class and elegant. Price $4.10. -

Foot of Lamp in either Bronze, Japanese, Faience 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 burver 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.

All orders, the smallest, as well as the most important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay.

}

GENERAL POst- Office, HONGKONG, January 1st, 1886.

SIR, I have the honour to report on the British Postal service in Hongkong and China during $385.

2. For several years past the Annual Report of this Department has been commenced with a Femark on the absence of anything of importance to record. The year under review has, however, been somewhat eventful.

3. The Money Order relations of this Colony have undergone a very marked extension. In the Postal Report for 1878 the following passage will be found:-

Applications are not infrequently received for Money Orders on Continental Countries, the United States, &c., and though it would Fertainly not be worth while to keep accounts with those countries for the sake of, perhaps. one order every three months exchanged with eich, yet such applications are always refused with regret. If there were a sort of International clearing-house, say at Berne, and it were understood that each Post Office should keep accounts with that clearing-house, and with that only, it would then be not only possible, but also easy for every Union country to exchange Money Orders with every other Union country."

4. To a very great extent the above suggestion has been realised. The International clearing- house, however, is not at Berne, but in London, and the system of Through Money Orders (as they are called) adopted there has admitted this Colony to money order relations with nearly the whole of the Continent of Europe, the United States, Canada, Bermuda, the South and West African Colonies, Cyprus, Egypt, the Falkland Islands, Honduras, the West Indies, Iceland, Madeira, Mauritius, New- foundland, S. Helena, the Seychelles, and New Zealand. Chinese in New Zealand send money orders here through London rather than not send them at all. A money order exchange with France has been arranged by way of India, and the same means has been adopted for the exchange of money orders with Goa. In addition to these, conventions for the direct exchange of orders have been entered into with Hawaii and North Borneo.

5. The following table shews the number of Through Money Orders which have been forwarded by way of London since the system was commenced a year ago. It will be seen how impracticable it would be to maintain a separate system with each country whilst the amount of business is so small, and yet that the total amount remitted is not inconsiderable.

6. The sale of Postal Notes has kept up juring the year. They are a great oonvenience at the maller Ports, where Money Orders are not to be had. The steady decline in the value of silver has however, introduced some difficulty into the system. It is absolutely necessary to offer these notes for sale at a fixed rate of exchange, which of course must not be more than a trifle above the rate o the day.

But, whatever rate has been fixed, exchange has always slipped down lower, thus necessitating frequent re-adjustment of account and leading to much trouble.

7. Siam has entered the Postal Union, and a properly organised Post Office has been opened a Bangkok under the direction of H. R. H. Somdet Phra Chow Nong Ya Tho Chow Fa Bhanurangs Swangwongse Krom Hluang Bhanuphanduwongse Woradej, Minister of Posts and Telegraphs. A kind of unrecognised agency of the Hongkong Post Office used to be maintained in the Consulate Genera at Bangkok, where Hongkong stamps were sold, and where a letter could be registered. The nev service is in every way an improvement, and completes the chain of Post Offices which may now b said to encircle Asia, at least from Aden to Hakodate. The gradual opening of Corea has of course le to a considerable increase of correspondence for that country.

8. Perhaps the event of the year most interesting to the public has been the establishment of Parcel Post with the United Kingdom and several West Indian islands. This service is as yet in it infancy, but the following figures will show that it is likely to be largely availed of:-

11. This opportunity may perhaps be taken of explaining that a

perhaps be taken of explaining that a parcel for China can be poste? My Post Office in the United Kingdom, at the rate of 10d. a lb, and that it will be conveyed under istration to, and delivered free at any of the Ports named in the last paragraph, or that it can be rwarded, at the sender's risk, to any other place in China to which there is communication.

12. It is already evident that the inward Parcel system will lead to a number of those false rms about losses which are always being raised from time to time about every kind of correspond- cc. The Parcel nail leaves London only fortnightly, and even then comes out by way of Gibraltar. i quite possible therefore that a letter may arrive here nearly three weeks before a parcel posted bout the same time. The addressee meanwhile is convinced his parcel is lost Except however by ome casualty, such as fire or shipwreck, there is no probability that any parcel will be lost.

13. The Money Order extensions and the Parcel Post system reviewed above have of course added ery considerably to the work of this Department. On the other hand a proposal has been submitted the Imperial Post Office to lighten that work by the abolition of the present complicated system of counts kept between this Office and London. The Postal Union regulations have practically swept ay all Postal Accounts with other countries, but the old-fashioned system of accounts with London has been retained. It has been pointed out that the difference between the total balances for one year nd another, even taking extreme cases, does not amount to ￡150, and that it would be cheaper for the Colony to pay that sum annually than to keep elaborate accounts of a charge of twopence-half- Penny on this letter and sixpence on that. The question will, it is hoped, be settled by the entire adoption of Union principles between the two offices.

14. The series of Postage Stamps in use has been re-arranged so as to consist entirely of decimal The desirability of having only one issue of Stamps for both Postal and Revenue purposes has not been lost sight of, but certain difficulties must be overcome before this can be brought about.

15. Mr. LEIRIA, the senio

clerk in this Office, retired on pension after thirty-two years good Bervice. Mr. HUTCHISON, Acting Assistant Postmaster General, obtained an appointment in Cores before the return from leave of absence of Mr. TRAVERS, whom he had replaced, and the Department was again left without Assistant. It is impossible to speak too highly of the way in which the work was carried on during the interim by Messrs. RocHA and MACHADO, who were entrusted with the duty of supervising the routine of the service. During this time a period of International Statistics occurred (the month of May) the complicated details of which were dealt with satisfactorily.

16. An International Congress assembled at Lisbon in February last for the purpose of revising extending and perfecting what are now practically the postal arrangements of the world. It is impossi ble to lay down the two ponderous volumes which record the proceedings of this conference, or even the regised Convention which formed its principal work, without a feeling of disappointment. Regula tions are left that would have been better abolished, whilst, of the few changes that have been made some are of questionable utility. The entry of the Australian and South African Colonies into the Union seems little nearer than it was five years ago. The vexatious and needless distinction between Printed and Commercial Papers is retained, as is a frivolous regulation for a compulsory exchange o specimen Postage Stamps. The period of Statistics has been made to recur every three instead of two years, and this is a real boon. Moreover the rational system of multiplication advocated from the first by this Office has been adopted. The results of 28 days' observations are to be multiplied by 13 instead of multiplying a month's totals by 12. When five mails leave within the mouth it is obvious that on the latter system this Colony would pay as for sixty mails in the year, whereas there are bu fifty-two.

17. The fee for Registry of Local correspondence has been reduced to 5 cents, which, at presen rates of exchange, is the same as the fee of 2d. charged at home for Registration. It is hoped that this increased facility will tend to check the habit of forwarding bank notes in unregistered letters. Some years ago the Postal system of the United Kingdom was seriously deranged on accoun

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVE GAZETTE OF 9TH JAN, 1886.

of the thousands of letters which arrived in, London every morning containing Postage Stamps. People advertised. Send thirteen stamps for this; Send five shillings' worth of stamps for that. A sorter or postman who stole a bundle of letters at random was certain to find several of them containing stamps. This Office has had to struggle hard not to suffer in the same way from the persistence with which residents at the Ports, chiefly Canton and Swatow, will, in spite of all remonstrances, pay their small bills here by means of bank notes sent in unregistered covers. Chinese do not steal bundles of letters at haphazard, they select those that feel tempting, and unfortunately it is not only or even chiefly the people that enclose bank notes in letters who suffer, the correspon dence of others is taken. At one time it seemed to be rapidly becoming the rule that even a sample of calico or cloth put into a letter marked it for immediate theft.

18. The whole work of a Post Office is organised on the supposition that ordinary letters will contain nothing of intrinsic or immediately convertible value. If it were certain that every letter would contain a bank note, each letter as posted would have to be entered on a list, and to be recorded throughout its entire transit, just as a registered article is. The number of officers employed would grow to that of a standing army. If therefore a portion of the public will persist in throwing on the Post Office a responsibility which it notifies on every opportunity its organisation does not enable it to accept, they must be left to take the consequences.

19. An endeavour has been made to establish three regular deliveries, at 9, 12, and 3. As steamers arrive here at any hours, a system of this kind cannot be carried out very strictly, at least without greatly increased staff, but it answers fairly well for the slacker days when no contract mails arrive. It is unfortunate that, as a general rule, the postmen have to leave for their afternoon rounds before the Canton steamer is in. They are not back till late, and the half-dozen letters from Canton may not be distributed till after dark. It is really impossible to make the whole arrangements of the Office depend on this tiny handful of correspondence. Those who may have felt aggrieved about Canton letters will perhaps accept this explanation. During the war the inconvenience was particularly marked, as it was never known whether the steamer was to be expected or not.

20. The Franco-chinese war was not a happy period in Postal matters. The regular packet service to Shanghai was suspended, the mails being carried by private ships which often started after a very short interval. On one occasion the Shanghai mail had to be sent up unsorted. Correspondence for Formosa was forwarded with difficulty, and for considerable periods not at all. Pakhoi suffered from the same difficulties, but only for a short while. The alarm of a blockade was raised at Swatow, and arrangements were in readiness to transport the mails overland. Fortunately they were not called into requisition. Ningpo was blockaded during several weeks.

21. The French packets now call at Kobe both on their upward and downward passages, which much simplifies the conveyance of mails to that Port. The mails for Japan were sent on with fair regularity throughout the year, no serious detention for want of connecting steamers having taken place.

22. The attention of both the British and French Post Offices has been called to the inconvenience caused by the English and French mails arriving, as they did during all the first half of the year, almost together. The remedy lay in the hands of the French Post Office. As the representation to it was made by its own Agents, not by this office, it is not known what view has been taken of the subject, but the evil has for the present disappeared.

23. Perhaps a more serious inconvenience to the community is the frequent departure of the American mail on the same day as the mail for Europe. This is a most unfortunate arrangement, and one that surely cannot be absolutely necessary. In the Post Office its results are very trying. The verandahs and the windows are blocked up with Chinese purchasing stamps and posting their letters, Europeans find it almost impossible to get what they want, and, two days' work being compressed into one, neither mail can be despatched with the desirable care and accuracy.

24. The trans-Pacific steamers ceased for some weeks to bring mails from San Francisco. The effect on the outward mails to that port was very marked; as far as the Chinese community is concerned correspondence almost ceased to be posted. It would seem to be certain that Chinese have again discovered some way of smuggling their correspondence into the United States, or else the vigilance of the Customs Officers has been relaxed. The outward mails for San Francisco are nothing like what they were a year ago. No doubt the same number of letters are sent, but they are sent otherwise than through the Post Office. The inward mails from San Francisco are at present being brought by the steamers of the O. & O. Co. only, the Pacific Mail steamer not bringing any.

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.

THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION.

THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY.

NINCE 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.

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 LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION.

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 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.

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 ( 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 :-

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 44.

The following Report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, for 1885, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th January, 1886.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

No. 12.

}

POLICE OFFICE, HONGKONG, 9th January, 1886. SIR,-I have the honour to forward, for the information of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, details of the Police Establishment, the list of Pensioners, and the Criminal Statistics for 1885.

2. The Criminal Statistics show that 6,775 cases were reported to the Police during 1885, being a decrease of 3,428 cases or 34.18 per cent. on the returns of 1884. In the subdivision of these cases into Serious Crimes (so-called) and Minor Offences, a decrease of 186 cases or 7.01 per cent. is found in Serious Crimes, and of 3,242 cases or 42.93 per cent. in Minor Offences.

3. During the past year two attempts at rioting were frustrated, and whilst only three murders occurred in the Colony (one in Lyndhurst Terrace and two in sampans off Tai Kok Tsui) yet there were several cases of manslaughter, and the reports of cutting and wounding were numerous; as also The at one time were the cases of people being hustled and robbed by a party of five or six men. assailants have gradually been arrested, and it is thought that this branch of crime will be checked for the present. The Police have also been successful in forestalling several intended raids on houses for the

purposes of robbery.

4. Another proof of combination was shown in the piratical seizure of the S. S. Greyhound on the High Seas and the murder of the Master. The pirates embarked as passengers, an old device of the Chinese, whose soldiers resorted to a similar practice in the war thirty years ago. The opening of telegraphic communication with Macao and Canton enabled me, as the circumstances led me to expect that the Pirates would go to the former place, to speedily inform the Local Authorities, and owing to their willing exertions and hearty co-operation two junks and ten of the pirates were subsequently seized.

5. The Detectives, both European and Chinese, attach great importance to the growing power of the Secret Triad Society. It is alleged that its influence is being largely used to screen criminal offenders and to make the procuring of evidence difficult. My recommendation made in letter No. 262 of the 24th August, 1885, that this Society should be_registered and brought under control is, I am informed, under consideration. In view of the recent attempts at riot, it is expedient that Guilds should be similarly registered. From the statements of the Detectives it would appear that all the lower criminal classes of the Colony have joined the Triad Society, and look to the heads of it for assistance when they are arrested. Hence it would appear probable that unless deterrent measures are promptly carried out, the Government will find that it has eventually to stamp out an Association whose ramifications certainly even now embrace nearly all the Hakka population, and are being strengthened by the enrolment of the thieves and rowdies of the lowest Chinese classes.

6. At the end of June a system was introduced under which numerous Chinese convicts were banished on the expiration of their terms of imprisonment. From papers that subsequently came before my notice, it would appear that the leading idea was that all non-British subjects who had been twice convicted of felony should be banished. As in several of the cases sent down to me for report it appeared that many of the prisoners had only been dealt with by the Magistrates, I pointed out that the powers given to the Supreme Court in Criminal Jurisdiction, of sentencing an offender after one conviction for felony to Penal Servitude for any term not exceeding 10 years, and after two summary convictions for any of the offences punishable summarily a term not exceeding 7 years Penal Servitude for offences under the Larceny Ordinance, had not in these cases been exercised. It appears that since the 24th June, 1885, 64 old offenders have been banished, of whom 18 have been arrested for returning

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 30TH JAN., 1886.

to the Colony, for each of whom the sum of fifty dollars has been paid. The maximum penalty for returning from banishment is one year's imprisonment with hard labour. In the face of the fact that so many deportees have returned, I must respectfully submit the question, whether, as was done in former years, the additional penalty of personal correction is not desirable. I estimate that this system will cost the Government about $3,000 for the first year. Whether it will be successful will probably depend on the experience of prisoners in Gaol. It is undoubted but that to many Chinese the Gaol with its ample diet, and its numerous provisions for the comforts of prisoners, has been a palpable improve- ments on their experiences outside. The present Superintendent has done a great deal towards the enforcement of salutary discipline, and the new regulations which come into force this year will probably strengthen his hands. But in the absence of any system of personal correction for offenders returning from banishment, it will become necessary, if the system is to have any success, that their gaol life should be more irksome than it has hitherto been.

7. The returns of gambling show 254 cases against 104 in 1884, and 86 in 1883. This amount would be larger, were not cases of Lotteries now dealt with by Summons instead of by Warrant on summary arrest; they therefore appear in the Magistrates' and not in the Police Returns. The smallness of the numbers in 1883 and 1884, is probably due to the Government Order 1071 of 1883 directing, "The simplest plan would be to let the Chinese alone and to let them gamble in peace, prosecuting only in those cases when the surrounding circumstances and notoriety left no doubt as to the nature of any particular house."

8. In connection with the riots just before my return to the Colony in 1884, I observe that it was considered expedient to seize the arms stored in various Chinese shops. The repeal by Ordinance 8 of 1882 of the unrepealed sections of Ordinance 9 of 1857 appears to have resulted in the probably unintended result of also repealing Ordinance 1 of 1855 which contained some valuable clauses con- cerning the sale of arms and the manufacture of explosives which might well have been enforced in cases of emergency. I have had during the past year to call attention to the want of any preventive measures against the storage of fire crackers and other dangerous commodities in buildings in the populated portion of the Colony.

9. There is a point which has arisen during the past year to which I desire to draw attention. In this Colony so few matters connected with Police work are dealt with otherwise than by Ordinances, that there is a want of that elasticity which can be obtained in England by the exercise of a power to pass by-laws. A notable instance arose in the constant necessity in a commercial Colony like this, of vessels desiring to discharge or take in cargo at night. For over forty years the local law has prohibited it, but, from precedents dating back in my own experience to nearly twenty years, this obvious necessity has been recognised by the Chief of Police granting permits when necessary. During the past year the applications, formerly made by well known firms connected with the principal lines of steamers, increased fifty per cent., and were becoming so numerous that it was clear that, unless some system was inaugurated, every firm that occasionally shipped goods would be in possession of a permit. Now each permit practically represents some six cargo boats. The wisdom of our pre- decessors recognised that in these waters, so liable to piratical attacks, it was expedient that there should at night time be a clear belt of water between the shipping and the water frontage. Inci- dentally I may point out that in one respect the status of this Colony is almost exceptional: it is one of the very few civilised places in the world where the trade of the Port is absolutely free from all Customs' dues. Hence in other harbours goods can only be landed at certain recognised points or under certain well known restrictions. Here cargo boats can come alongside any portion of the four miles frontage of the City. Being desirous of reducing the practice of the issue of Permits to a system, I, with the permission of the Government, inserted an advertisement in the newspapers requesting the expression of views, either for or against the landing or shipping of cargo at night ie., between 9 P.M. and 6 A.M.

The result for a Commercial Colony was somewhat surprising; not a single letter in favour of the practice was received, whilst objections to the course were sent in. It was therefore proposed to do away with the system of granting general permits available at all times, and to sub- stitute special permits to be granted when circumstances demanded that the dispatch of any particular vessel should be accelerated, and for this purpose every facility was given. When this was made known, the Chamber of Commerce for the first time took up the question and argued that, as Hongkong was a free port, the consignees of vessels were at liberty to land or discharge cargo as they pleased. The matter having been referred to the law officers, the opinion was that there was no authority of law for the granting of permits. An impression appeared to prevail that this implied that boats could discharge cargo at night. The result of a test case, that was taken before a Magistrate, whose decision was not appealed against, would seem to show that this prevalent impression is erroneous, and that the law distinctly prohibits boats from being within one hundred yards of the shore at night except at certain specified public or at all private wharves. Being fully aware that the prosperity of this Colony is solely dependent on its trade, I have taken on myself the responsibility of not carrying out the law to its full extent, but I trust that the matter may soon be placed on a sound basis, and that the two equally vital points of protecting the facilities of the trade of the Colony, and of protecting the City from sudden piratical raids, may meet with due consideration.

10. The same legal dictum of the absence of any authority of law equally applies to other matters on which the Chief of Police for the time being has heretofore endeavoured to assist the industries or

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 30TH JAN, 1886. 87

necessities of the Colony, viz.: the granting of permits (a.) for the temporary obstruction of a roadway by the transit of heavy goods, (b.) for allowing boats to lie near certain wharves at night for the accommodation of the officers and men of the various men-of-war in Harbour, (c.) for the removal by the Chinese of the bones of the dead to the mainland. In none of these cases is there any authority of law for granting permits, but it is clearly desirable that such power should exist.

11. Another matter wherein the practice of the Colony existing for many years has been upset, is the granting of permits for (a.) Chinese Religious Ceremonies, Theatricals, and (b.) Religious Processions and Festivals. The power to grant permits for the former (a.) was vested in the Governor or Registrar General by Ordinance 6 of 1857, but by the amended Ordinance 8 of 1858, the power was vested in the Governor only. The matters referred to in (b.) were by Ordinance 14 of 1845 in the hands of the Chief Magistrate of Police, and by proclamation this was changed to the Chief of the Police Force. This proclamation is held, and obviously rightly so, to be ultra vires. Now applica- tions are sent to the Registrar General who endorses his recommendation or otherwise, then to the Colonial Secretary, who sends them to the Surveyor General as to structural matters, and to the Magistrates, (who are not in a position to obtain information), for a report. The document is then returned to the Colonial Secretary who submits it for the Governor's decision; he again receives it and sends the permit to the Registrar General, who returns the application to the Colonial Secretary, who sends notice to me as Head of the Police Force, and in numerous cases I receive the document after the expiry of the date on which the event took place. I must submit that it is time a less cumbrous process was adopted, and probably the simplest course would be for the Chief of Police to deal with such matters when outside and the Registrar General when inside buildings, subject always to the decision of the 'Surveyor General on structural matters. The right of appeal to the Governor being paramount, no special allusion need be made to it. The late Mr. MAY, when Chief of Police, gave this opinion on the subject of Licences for Religious or Theatrical entertainments. "I am of opinion that the granting of such permission should be in the hands of the executive Police. This power was by Ordinance 14 of 1845 vested in the hands of the Chief Magistrate, but practically it devolved upon the Superintendent of Police, because the Chief Magistrate invariably made reference to that Officer. As a fact there are few Religious entertainments, although Religion is often advanced as a plea; firing off crackers, musical parties, &c., are all called "Chin-chin joss," but these bear as much relation to the religion of the Chinese as the institution of "Greenwich Fair" does to the religion of the inhabitants of London. The proper person to judge of the policy of granting or recom- mending such indulgence, or minor invasions of the letter of the law, must be the Officer having the responsibility of preventing disorder and annoyance to the public and ready power of preventing the abuse of the indulgence if granted."

12. The various Police Stations suffered a great deal from the lowness of the Colonial Funds. The guard house at lunghom has however been rebuilt and the out houses are a vast improvement from a sanitary point of view to those attached to most of the Stations. Stanley Station, having, through want of money, been for nearly two years unavailable, was in July last handed back to the Police, but the summer rains soon showed the upper floor to be comparatively uninhabitable from leakage. Subsequent defects have been developed, which plainly show that the building of the upper story many years ago was not carried out efficiently, with the probable result that it must be taken down and rebuilt before the building is really habitable. At the Water Police Basin, davits and a flight of steps are still wanting, which want contributes to the deterioration of the boats, and the endangering of the men when embarking. The scarcity of married quarters is greatly felt, and the high rates of rent now charged render it difficult for men to obtain rooms with the allowance granted by Government. The health of the Water Police has improved since the removal of the men from the Hulk to the Station at Kaulung Point, but Whitfield Station has from the number of cases off ever proved very unhealthy to the occupants. The drains are now being thoroughly repaired and the undergrowth around cut away.

If after this no improvement is shown, the cause must be attributable either to the recent earth cutting in connection with the neighbouring fort, or to the rapid silting up of the foreshore. 13. The heavy fall in the value of the dollar, which is now quoted at 3/33, is a matter which must tend to the increase of the cost of the maintenance of the Police Force. It is beyond dispute that the cost of all commodities has considerably increased.

14. I am happy to be able to report that the general conduct of the Force, as witnessed by the diminished amount of fines and punishments inflicted during the year for breaches of descipline, has been very satisfactory; and that I have received the faithful support of the officers and men in the discharge of their respective duties under circumstances that on more than one occasion might have tended to dishearten them.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 20th instant, were read and confirmed.

VOTE OF MONEY REFERRED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:-

C.S.O.

2985 of 1885.

W. H. MARSH.

The Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to re-vote the sum of $5,000 which was not expended last year on the re-construction of Pedder's Wharf.

The Surveyor General has recommended that the pier should be constructed of Aranga wood which is much more durable than the ordinary hard wood. This would raise the original estimate from $10,000 to $14,300. It therefore becomes necessary to provide the additional sum of $4,300 which, with the $5,000 in this year's estimates, and the $5,000 to be re-voted, will meet the revised estimate of the cost of the pier.

The Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to vote this additional sum of $4,300.

Government House, Hongkong, 25th January, 1886.

The Acting Colonial Secretary moved that this Minute be referred to the Finance Committee. The Colonial Treasurer seconded.

Question-put and passed.

QUESTION.--The Honourable W.

JARDINE, MATHESON & Co., General Managers, Hongkong Fire Insurance Co., Limited. Hongkong, 5th February, 1886.

VINCE 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.

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 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:

1, 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, Faience 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, aud 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.

C.S.O. 66 of 1886.

W. H. MARSH.

The Officer Administering the Government lays before the Council an application which he bas received from the Chairman of the Commission appointed by Sir GEORGE BOWEN in January, 1885, to arrange for the proper representation of Hongkong at the Colonial and Indian Exhi- bition to be held in London this year. The Chairman on behalf of the Commission asks for a further grant by Government of ￡2,000 to meet the expenditure on account of the exhibits forwarded by this Colony, the sum of ￡500 which was voted by this Council on 4th November, last, having proved wholly inadequate for that object.

Part of the exhibits have already gone forward, and the remainder are nearly ready to be shipped. His Excellency recommends the Council to vote the further sum now asked for, by the Commission, to enable the Colony to be worthily represented at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition.

THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION.

THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY.

SINC

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.

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:

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, Faience 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.

All orders, the smallest, as well as the most attention, and will be forwarded without delay. important, will receive the same particular

law, and all imitations and infringements will Our Electric Lamps are protected by

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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 72.

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

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th February, 1886.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

We find that the British Steam-ship Douglas, Official No. 84,357 of Hongkong, MATTHEW YOUNG, Master, whose Certificate of Competency is No. 32,637 of London, left Amoy at about 5.30 P.M. on the 10th February last, bound for Swatow.

That at the time of sailing, the Douglas was in light trim only, having on board a small quantity f cargo.

That there were on board besides the Crew, consisting of Europeans, Chinese and Malays (64 all told) and 5 European passengers, several Chinese passengers, the exact number of whom, we have been unable to determine.

That after leaving Amoy, safe and proper courses were steered, until the High Lamock Light was abeam.

That at about 2.45 A.M., on the 11th February, the ship stranded on the White Rocks, and subsequently became a total wreck, and that this was unfortunately attended with a deplorable loss of life.

That the remaining Crew and passengers were rescued by the British Steam-ship Haiphong, and taken to Swatow.

We are of opinion that the Master, seeing the state of the weather at the time, and not having verified his position, would have displayed more caution in not attempting to pass between the High Lamock and the White Rocks, and that, having decided to steer between these, he under-estimated his distance off the High Lamock, and a safe and proper course was not subsequently adopted.

That after the stranding of the vessel, everything was done by the Captain and Officers with a view to the saving of life, and that, had the Captain's advice been followed by all, the unfortunate loss of life would probably not have ensued.

We have also examined the testimonials laid before us by the Master.

After careful deliberation, we consider that the Master is to blame, and we direct that his Certifi- cate be suspended for a period of 4 months from this date.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 20th day of February, 1886.

Approved,

W. H. MARSH,

The Council met pursuant to adjournment.

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 10th instant, were read and confirmed.

VOTES REFERRED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-Read the following Minutes by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:-

W. H. MARSH.

(1.) The Officer Administering the Government lays before the Council a despatch which he has just received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject of the defences of Hongkong.

It will be remembered that the original proposals sanctioned by the War Office embraced works the estimated cost of which was ￡55,625, whilst the corresponding armament was to cost only ￡37,500.

It was stated in the despatch of Lord DERBY of the 17th September, 1884, which was laid before the Council, that Her Majesty's Government had arrived at the decision that the Colony of Hongkong should defray only the cost of the necessary works, the Imperial Government contributing the armament. The Council was accordingly asked by Sir GEORGE BOWEN, on the 10th December, 1884, to vote the sum of ￡55,625 required for the construction of these works.

156

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 6TH MARCH, 1886.

Before agreeing to vote the sum required for the construction of the works there was considerable discussion in the Finance Committee, owing to an impression that the armament which was to be sent out was altogether inadequate, and the vote was passed with the understanding "that the armament to be provided by the Imperial Government would be of the best and latest pattern of breech-loading ordnance and capable of resisting attacks by the heaviest modern ironclads."

Sir GEORGE BOWEN did not fail to represent strongly on several occasions the wish. of the community that Hongkong should be properly defended, and Generals SArgent and CAMERON have supported his recommandations with all the weight of their long professional experience.

The result of these recommendations has been that the scheme of defence has been very carefully re-considered. Instead of three new works and remounting guns in existing works, the new scheme of defence includes four new works and three new sites for single heavy guns, and, whilst omitting the works originally proposed at Quarry Bay, it substitutes a complete defence of the Ly-ee Mun Channel. The weight and power of the guns have been so greatly increased that much more massive and costly foundations and emplacements have to be provided for them. An idea of the difference in the now proposed from those originally contemplated may be gathered from the revised estimate of cost of the armaments, which, instead of being ￡37,500, will now amount to ￡118,500.

guns

In June, 1885, the Major-General Commanding represented to the Governor the necessity of a large increase in the amount contributed by the Colony, in order to meet the cost of the improved and extended works of defence, and, in accordance with the Colonial Regulations, the Governor referred the question to the Secretary of State before asking the Council to vote the necessary sum. The Despatch now laid before the Council conveys the sanction of Her Majesty's Government to the application for such vote. It will be seen from this Despatch and its enclosure that the revised estimate of the cost of constructing the Defence Works is ￡116,000 instead of ￡55,625.

The Secretary of State for the Colonies has no doubt that the Council will loyally consent to vote the necessary amount for completing the Defences of Hongkong in an efficient manner. The Officer Administering the Government therefore asks the Council to vote the additional sum of ￡60,375. It appears doubtful whether any part will be spent before 1887, but it is necessary that a vote should be passed to enable the Royal Engineers' Department to enter into contracts for the execution of the works. Government House, Hongkong, 16th February, 1886.

W. H. MARSH.

(2.) The Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to re-vote the following

For building a retaining wall to prevent landslips at the rear of Inland

945.00

Owing to the late period of the year at which these votes were passed (November, 1885), it was not possible to complete the works.

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

We find that the British Steam-ship Thames, Official Number 85,898 of Glasgow; WILLIAM ARTHUR SEATON, Master, whose Certificate of Competency is No. 14,245, left Hongkong harbour at about 4.15 P.M. on the 2nd March, bound for London via Colombo and Bombay, having on board the mails for Europe.

That on the day of sailing, the weather was misty with banks of fog rolling in from the Eastward, but with intervals of fairly clear weather, during one of which, the steamer proceeded on her voyage.

That soon after leaving the buoy, the fog again came down, but the Master having had an opportunity of shaping a Course for the Lyeemoon Pass, proceeded on this Course, going at a moderate speed, and taking precautions.

That at about 4.55 P.M., land ahead was reported by the "look out," and that shortly after this, the Thames struck on the South West point of the Lyeemoon Pass, damaging her bow, and causing her to make considerable quantity of water.

That the vessel did not remain fixed, but came off almost immediately.

That the necessary temporary repairs being made, the ship proceeded into the Aberdeen dock. We find that the Master was justified in commencing the voyage on the day in question, and that he appears to have navigated his vessel in a seamanlike manner, and that when the casualty was inevit- able, to have done every thing in his power to avert it.

That the casualty appears to have been brought about through the ship, when going at a moder- ate rate of speed, being set to the Southward by the tide flowing through the Lyeemoon Pass, and sweeping towards Shau-ki-wan Bay.

That proper discipline appears to have been maintained, and that all necessary precautions were taken after the casualty.

That the Court sees no ground for attributing any blame to the Master, and his Certificate is therefore returned to him.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 10th day of March, 1886.

ABSENT:

The Honourable the Attorney General, (EDWARD LOUGHLIN O'MALLEY,) on leave.

The Council met pursuant to adjournment.

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 10th instant, were read and confirmed.

VOTE OF MONEY REFERRED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:-

W. H. MARSH.

The Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to vote the following sum, viz.:-$450 to enable the Sanitary Board to carry out the special cleansing of tenements within the city.

The Board, with the approval of the Government, has decided that the Chinese community should be invited to give their dwellings a thorough special cleansing three times a year, such cleansings to take place as near to the 1st February, 1st June, and 1st October, as their festivals will permit; the Government rendering assistance in the way of supplying additional water, and providing additional facilities for the removal of refuse.

The Board estimate that each of these cleansings will cost $150, and the sum now recommended is to enable the Board to defray the expenses incurred under this heading during 1886.

During the last special cleansing, 180 tons above the average daily quantity of refuse were removed in this way.

Government House, Hongkong, 16th March, 1886.

The Acting Colonial Secretary moved that this vote be referred to the Finance Committee. The Colonial Treasurer seconded.

Question-put and passed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH MARCH, 1886.

MINUTE.-INVASION OF TERRITORIAL RIGHTS OF THE COLONY.-Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:-

W. H. MARSH.

The Officer Administering the Government informs the Council that he has received a communication from Her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Peking stating that he had made strong representations to the Ministers of the Tsungli Yamen on the unwarrantable action of the Chinese Officials in seizing a Chinese subject accused of piracy who had taken refuge in this Colony.

The Ministers have expressed their regret for what had occurred, and assured Her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires that the Governor-General of Fuhkien would be directed to make suitable excuses to the Hongkong Government, and that instructions would be sent to the High Local Officials that Hongkong was British Territory, and that any invasion of its rights or territory must be very carefully guarded against in future.

Her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires expresses the belief that the representations which he has made will effectually put a stop to such occurrences in future.

The British Consul at Foochow was some time ago informed by the Governor-General of Fuhkien that the Naval Officer in charge of the Ngai San had for his irregular conduct at. Hongkong been deprived of his command and had had his button taken from him.

The status of Chinese Cruisers and their interference with the Junk trade of Hongkong will, it is hoped, be finally settled by the Commission to be appointed before long for the con- sideration of this question under the 7th Article of the 3rd Section of the Chefoo Convention.

Government House, Hongkong, 15th March, 1886.

PAPERS.-The Acting Colonial Secretary, by direction of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, laid on the table the following papers :-

(a.) Despatch respecting the postponement of the proposed Loan. (No. 14.)

(b.) Despatch respecting the new Heavy Guns for Defensive purposes. (No. 15.)

(c.) Correspondence respecting Quarantine Regulations. (No. 16.)

VOTE OF MONEY PASSED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-The Acting Colonial Secretary read the following report of the Finance Committee:-

(Finance Committee, 12th March, 1886.)

Additional vote of ￡60,375 for Defences.

The Committee unanimously recommend the payment of the additional sum of ￡60,375 now asked for, but they do so on the distinct understanding that this vote shall be final for the military and defensive purposes of the Colony.

To pay this sum and complete the essential public works in progress, the Colony must borrow; and the result will be, that interest and the provision of a sinking fund will so cripple the resources of the Colony, that urgently needed sanitary works must, for the present, be left in abeyance. The Colony, being merely a depot, without natural products, is unable to increase its revenue to any appreciable extent, and it will be impossible for any further contribution to be made for military purposes.

The Committee next proceed to the consideration of the means to be devised for meeting the interest and the sinking fund in connection with the Loan which must be raised.

The Committee unanimously consider that the best means of doing so would chiefly be by an increase of Stamp Dnty.

The Acting Colonial Secretary added that the Committee afterwards proceeded to consider the Loan Bill, the result of which will be brought up later, as His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government was in communication with the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject.

The Honourable W. KESWICK moved that, as the subject treated in the above report was of vast importance to the Colony, the consideration of the report should be postponed to this day week.

The Honourable P. RYRIE seconded.

Question-put and passed.

THE RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES AND FESTIVALS BILL.-REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE.-The Honourable W. KESWICK, Chairman of the Special Committee appointed to consider this Bill, presented the report of the Committee in the form of a revised Bill, and gave notice that when the Council went into Committee on the Bill he would move the addition of a clause.

QUESTION.-The Honourable W. KESWICK, pursuant to notice, asked the following question:-

When will the Lazaretto on Stone Cutters' Island be completed, and pending its con- struction, what provision will there be ready to meet any outbreak of infectious or contagious diseases?

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH MARCH, 1886.

215

The Surveyor General replied that the permanent buildings for the Lazaretto were contracted to be ready on the 1st of July next; and that, pending the completion of the permanent buildings, suitable accommodation was being provided for the reception of the sick, should occasion require it, in temporary and provisional matsheds.

WITHDRAWAL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL GRANT.-The Honourable T. JACKSON gave notice that at the next meeting he would move the following resolutions, and introduce a Cathedral Bill:-

1. That the Secretary of State for the Colonies be invited to reconsider the decision which has been arrived at as to the withdrawal of ecclesiastical grants in this Colony, with a view to the continuance of such grants, as in Singapore and in Mauritius.

2.-That the only expenditure which could be retrenched under the instructions received is a small salary, nominally of ￡800, but really of ￡640, paid to the Colonial Chaplain, and representing little more than remuneration for the necessary services of burying the dead, attendance at the gaol, at hospitals, &c.

3.-That if this salary be withdrawn, the Colony will have to pay nearly if not quite as much in allowances for these services, thus substituting a precarious and unsatisfactory arrangement for one which works to the satisfaction of all concerned.

4. That the instructions to disestablish the Church on the first opportunity were not called for by any public demand, and that no public feeling exists in the Colony on the subject except such as is adverse to the course proposed.

5.-That the policy of disestablishment, still far from being generally accepted at home, has been, as far as the information of this Council goes, distasteful to every Colony on which it has been imposed; that it has been reversed in two Colonies, and in at least one more continues to be an offence and a public grievance to the Community.

6. That a doubtful policy of this kind should not be, in ignorance of many of the essential circumstances of the case, needlessly forced upon an unwilling community which, administering its own revenue, is more interested in guarding against the misappropriation of that revenue than any external authority can be.

BILLS READ A SECOND TIME.-On the motion of the Acting Attorney General, seconded by the Acting Colonial Secretary, the following Bills were read a second time:

(a.) A Bill entitled An Ordinance to amend the Law relating to Vagrants.

(b.) A Bill entitled An Ordinance to amend the Law as to Sales of Land by Public Auction. (c.) A Bill entitled An Ordinance for the Relief of Widows and Children of Intestates where

the personal estate is of small value.

The Acting Attorney General gave notice that at the next meeting of Council he would move that the Council go into Committee on these Bills.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE OTHER ORDERS OF THE DAY.-The Acting Attorney General moved that the other Orders of the Day be postponed.

Adjournment.-The Council then adjourned to Wednesday, the 24th instant, at 4 P.M.

15. At least ten days notice of the time and place of holding such General Meeting shall be given by notices conspicuously posted at each doorway of the Church used by the Congregation. The Colonial Chaplain, if present, shall preside at such mesting; and no General Meeting of seat-holders, except the Annual Meeting, or for the pur- poses of Section 22 of this Ordinance, shall be held unless at least twenty seat-holders are present.

16. The right of voting at every General Meeting of seat-holders shall be vested in renters of sittings in the Church who shall have duly paid the rent of their sitttings. Provided always that no such seat-holder shall on any occasion be allowed to give more than one vote.

17. The allotment of sittings in the Church in force at the time of coming into operation of this Ordinance shall be continued until the same shall be altered under the provi- sions of this Ordinance. And such allotment and all future allotments shall be subject to the following, reservations of sittings for which no rent shall be charged, namely;-

(1.) One third part of the whole number of the sittings in the Church for the use of the poorer classes of the community.

(2.) Such sittings for the Governor of the Colony, the Officer Commanding the troops, and Officers of the garrison as the Trustees shall deem sufficient' and may be able to provide.

18. The Trustees shall make arrangements for placing the whole Church at the disposal of any Military Chaplain for garrison services at such hours as may not interfere with the usual and ordinary services of the Church.

19. The Trustees shall, at each Annual Meeting, assess and fix a rent for each sitting in the Church, and may at any time make agreements or contracts with any person desirous to engage the same according to such assessment, and such rent shall be in force from the 1st day of April in the year in which it is fixed until the thirty first day of March next following. The rents of all sittings in the Church shall be paid in advance.

20. If it shall at any time appear to the Trustees that such Annual Assessment is insufficient to defray the necessary charges and costs of the Church, they may call a General Meeting in the manner provided by Section 15 of this Ordinance, and, with the assent of a majority at such Meeting, such majority not being less than twenty persons in number, may substitute such higher assessment as to such majority may appear sufficient.

21. No seat-holder shall, under any pretence whatever, be deprived of the free use of his sitting at all times when the Church shall be open for public worship, except when the Church shall be used for a Military Service or under the following circumstances ;-

(1.) If he fail to pay the rent of such sitting in advance within three months after it shall have been demanded by the Trustees.

(2.) If he fail to pay the difference between the rate assessed on such sitting and a higher assessment made under Section 20 of this Ordinance within one month after such difference shall have been demanded by the Trustees.

The following finding of a Marine Court appointed to enquire into the stranding of the British Parque Bothwell Castle, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th March, 1886.

FINDING.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

We find that the British Barque Bothwell Castle of Newcastle N.S.W., Official No. 47,822 left Newcastle on 16th November, 1884, for Amoy with a cargo of coals.

At the time of sailing it would seem that the ship was sufficiently found for the voyage.

That on December 21st, 1884, the Bothwell Castle stranded on the reef surrounding Ngarik Island, Caroline Group. That she was subsequently abandoned and afterwards slipped off the reef, and went down in deep water.

That the crew landed on the Island, when friendly relations were established with the Natives. That at the end of about one week, the Captain with two of the crew, left the Island in the long boat, saying that he was going to Guaham for assistance, and there is no evidence to show what after- wards became of them..

With the scant evidence before us, we have been unable to determine the circumstances which led to the casualty; but it appears that the Master had doubts as to his position for some days previous; also that the relations existing between the Captain and First Mate, and the general discipline on board was not such as would conduce to the well being of the ship.

The Court are of opinion that there is not sufficient evidence before them to enable them to ap- portion any blame for the casualty.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 24th day of March, 1886.

SUPPLEMENT

To the HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE of 27th March, 1886.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 111.

The following Annual Report from the Director of the Observatory, for the year 1885, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th March, 1886.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY, 4th February, 1886.

?IR, For the information of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, I have the honour to forward my Annual Report for 1885.

2. The first volume of observations and researches was published in July. In this publication there is seldom any reference made to the storms, that so frequently cross the north of China, passing from West to East. These storms are considered to lie outside the field of my researches, but I have endeavoured to thoroughly investigate the typhoons. The available observations were, however, very inaccurate, were not made according to a uniform system and their discussion was found to consume unduly great time, as no isobars could be drawn. In the course of the past year observations with in- struments verified here have been commenced at a greater part of the stations belonging to the Imperial Maritime Customs of China. The lighthouses outside of Shanghai were, in 1884, furnished with barometers, which had been compared in the Custom House. I expect to make use of these observations in the investigation of the typhoons of 1885.

3. As there exists in Japan an extensive meteorological service conducted on approved principles, it is unnecessary to investigate typhoons in their course across that empire. With reference to this part of their track, the results published in the weather-maps issued from the Imperial Meteorological Observatory, Tokio, are simply quoted.-A similar service in the Philippine Archipelago is urgently required. As it is, the labour of following typhoons in their transit across these islands is thrown upon this Observatory, and the work has to be done on insufficient data. Through the courtesy of the Superintendent of the Eastern Extension, Australasia and China Telegraph Company I receive observations from Bolinao. At 10 a. and 4 p. daily, a telegram containing observations made at the Observatory of the Jesuit Fathers at Manila is also transmitted, and I receive occasionally registers kept on board ships and by private individuals on shore. I do not find any meteorological register in the newspapers published in Manila. In fact they do not usually publish any information useful for such investigations.-I was informed by Dr. BORIUS, that it was the intention of the French authorities to establish a meteorological observatory in Haiphong, but since the lamented death of this distinguished meteorologist, I have had no further news about this project.

4. It does not appear to have been originally intended to immediately start daily weather-reports and storm-warnings in connection with the Observatory, and no provision was made for such; but immediately on my arrival in the Colony I was instructed to take steps to organise the issue of daily weather-intelligence, for which however no provision was subsequently made in the estimates. The department was thus saddled with a great deal of extraneous work, although the staff was arranged for simply carrying on scientific observations and calculations in the Observatory. The staff is suffi- cient to carry on the work as originally intended, but is of course insufficient for such a material extension. I understand, that the storm-warnings etc., have been of great advantage to the mercantile community, and hope therefore, that funds to enable me to continue them may be forthcoming from some source. If the public is to have the full benefit of the observations and researches, an additional clerk and a messenger must be appointed.

232 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 27TH MAR., 1886.

5. With reference to the Meteorological Signals I submitted, that my Notice of the 25th May, 1885, (substantially the same as the two first paragraphs of my Notice of the 11th August, 1884. Compare Obs. and Res. 1884, App. F.) should be published daily in the local newspapers during the typhoon season, so that the shipping community might be made aware of the meaning of those signals, and was informed, that it would appear weekly in the Government Gazette, which has been carried out. 6. The gun placed at Tsim-shat-sui for announcing the approach of a typhoon, was, during the year, also fired for announcing the arrival of the mails. On these occasions the sampans and other small craft sought positions of shelter. After the issue of the Post Office Notice I was informed, that this arrangement might be altered when any serious inconvenience was felt, and I would now venture to submit for His Excellency's consideration, whether it is advisable to have the gun fired for both purposes, and if not, what signal should cease.

7. The most important improvement effected during the past year consists in the introduction on the 10th June of the rotating (dry and damp bulb) thermometers for regularly registering temperature and humidity at the Observatory. The figures exhibited in the respective tables during the previous months of 1885 were as far as possible reduced to the same standard by aid of observations made in different screens.

8. By aid of this apparatus the true temperature and humidity of the air round the Observatory is determined and not the temperature in any particular screen, which depends to such a great extent upon the position and form chosen for the latter. A perusal of the forthcoming volume for 1885 will show the advantage of adopting this apparatus at observatories within the tropics, and as it is adapted for use in the arctic regions as well as elsewhere, we are now enabled to make accurate and strictly comparable observations of temperature and humidity over the surface of the entire globe.

9. The thermometers are rotated day and night at as many hours as possible, the intermediate hours being derived from the thermograms using the rotating thermometers as standards.-At the same time tridiurnal eye-observations of thermometers exposed in a Stevenson's screen are made, by aid of which the errors committed by adopting this screen will be determined. This investigation besides its general interest will have its local importance, as a great number of meteorological stations in China have, at my suggestion, been furnished with wooden screens of a nearly similar pattern.- My experience so far shews, that the results obtained with Stevenson's screen are reliable when the screen is freely exposed to the wind, that the accuracy generally increases, together with the force of the wind, and that the results are more or less erroneous when the screen is at all sheltered by any object even at a great distance. It would be advisable to adopt the rotating thermometer in making astronomical observations for the determination of the constant of refraction.

10. On the 1st of April the use of Morgan and Kidd's argento-bromide paper was introduced and was found a great improvement.-The sunshine-cards were from the 10th September to the 21st December changed at 10 h. 30 m. a. instead of at 10 h. 30 m. p. as was the case before and after those dates.-The observations of clouds and particularly of the upper clouds being of so great importance for the physic of the globe, have been extended and are now made every three hours.

11. The time-service, which began on the 1st January 1885, will form the subject of a separate report.-The Lee Equatorial, which was transferred to this Observatory by the Astronomer Royal, was erected early in the year in a separate building, the cost of which was charged to Office Contin- gencies. Observations were made of Jupiter and his Satellites, Saturn and his Rings, and of a few Double Stars.

12. A new Observatory Standard Barometer was received in good order from Casella in London, and apparatus for investigating the temperature and induction-coefficients of magnets from Elliott Brothers, the latter being arranged so that either vertical or horizontal induction can be observed.

13. I attach some importance to the facility thus offered for re-determining the induction. coefficient, as it is known to sometimes change, and more especially in view of Chambers's comparison between two magnetometers, which gave different values for the force at Bombay Observatory. As the magnetometers give identical results when tested at Kew Observatory, the difference might be explained by changes in the induction-coefficients, which were not re-determined.

14. Notwithstanding the acknowledged superiority of Elliott's magnetometers, improvements could easily be introduced. The thermometers are not graduated on the stem, and it is so difficult to remove the one in the vibration box, that a reliable thermometer might with advantage be screwed into the roof of the box as was formerly done. The small telescope should be clamped on the stand and not left merely resting on the Y's, and much finer and stronger screws for adjusting the collima- tion could be cut in chilled bell metal.

15. 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: Thermometers: 40

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 27TH MAR., 1886. 233.

16. At the end of 1884 the Swedish man-of-war Vanadis visited Hongkong and a party of the scientific staff under the direction of Captain RUDOLF NISSEN spent some days in making magnetic observations at the Observatory, which they chose as one of their principal observing stations, and their meteorological instruments were verified here.

17. Mr. HARDING, Assistant Engineer of the Imperial Maritime Customs of China, spent a week at the Observatory in April and received instruction in the erection of meteorological instruments and similar subjects.

18. A party of Officers under the command of Captain USBORNE MOORE made sextant observations of stars for time at the end of the year and compared with the standard clock. They also chose the anemometer-turret as the centre in their survey of the harbour.

19. Enquiries from officers belonging to the Civil Service, the Army and the Navy as well as from Masters of Merchant Vessels were answered at considerable inconvenience. If the Observatory were connected directly with the Telegraph Offices in Hongkong and a telegraph clerk appointed here, it would be easy to answer any enquiries concerning atmospheric disturbances, made by the public at large, who might be charged a small fee to cover cost of transmission, the same as in England.

20. My thanks are due to Mr. WHIPPLE, Superintendent of the Kew Observatory, for superin- tending the construction and comparison in London of instruments destined for this Observatory, vhich has thus had the benefit of his great experience. My thanks are also due to Commander RUMSEY

.N., Aeting Harbour Master, for his energetic co-operation.

21. The hill on which the magnetic hut is placed was early last year planted with firs that will when they grow up, contribute to the healthiness of the locality. The southern side of this hill was smoothed and the grass stripped in 1883 by order of the Surveyor General, with the view of having it returfed, but so far this has not been effected.-The summer rains in 1884 shewed the building to be suffering from leakage. Several attempts to repair this were unsuccessful, but I am informed, that he roof will be thoroughly repaired before the coming wet season. My private quarters are very raughty in the winter during the height of the NE monsoon, which is so trying to the health. This cannot of course be helped, as the Observatory should be exposed to the full force of the wind. The growth of rice in the extensive paddy fields north of this was prohibited in 1884, but the ground has not been drained and was during the heavy rains last summer converted into an extensive swamp, to the malaria emanating from which the intermittent and remittent fevers, from which we all suffered, may be ascribed.

22. Mr. FIGG, First Assistant, took charge of the apparatus in the time-ball tower. From the 1st January to the 22nd November, when a new electric lock arrived, the ball had to be dropped by hand, which he effected with no measureable loss of accuracy. Mr. FIGG attended during the year to the self-recording instruments and the tabulations except the thermograms. The latter were tabulated by Mr. MAHOMET ALARAKIA, who has also charge of the galvanic batteries, and during the latter part of the year changed the sheets on the instruments and took charge of the photographic laboratory. Mr. LAU-SHAU, Clerk, has charge of the correspondence, all business transactions and accounts, acts as telegraph clerk, writes out daily weather reports, collects meteorological observations and is respon- sible for the issue of information concerning typhoons and storm-warnings. I make myself all the astronomical observations and take charge of the horological apparatus.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.

PAPERS.-The Acting Colonial Secretary, by direction of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, laid on the table the following papers :-

(a.) Report of the Director of the Observatory, for 1885. (No. 17.)

(b.) Application for an additional Chinese Clerk for the Observatory. (No. 18.) DIRECT TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN HONGKONG AND SINGAPORE.--The Acting Colonial Secretary read the following report of the Finance Committee on this subject:-

The Committee, having read and duly considered the recent despatch of the Secretary of State regarding direct telegraphic communication between Hongkong and Singapore, are unanimously of opinion that, having regard to the demands now made on the resources of the Colony for defences and extraordinary public works, the Colony is not in a position, at present, to contribute to the subsidy required for the cable between the two Colonies. STEAM LAUNCH WHISTLES.-The Honourable P. RYRIE laid on the table the following Petition, addressed to the Council, and moved that the same be read :-

‧

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,-We, the undersigned, residents. of Hongkong, beg most respectfully to bring to your notice, the great and increasing nuisance, caused by unnecessary steam launch whistling in this harbour, as embodied in the following facts:-

The Ferry Launches which ply to and fro between Victoria, Aberdeen, Yaumati, &c., and rendezvous along the Praya, habitually keep their whistles going when moored alongside the Praya wall.

This noise constitutes a nuisance of the gravest possible description to all persons who live near, whether on the Praya or upper levels, on board vessels in the vicinity, or who have to transact business in their neighbourhood.

The nuisance is indirectly the cause of the continuous screaming which goes on in other parts of the harbour, when launches are in motion, for the simple reason, that the boating population are so accustomed to the abuse of steam-whistles generally, that no heed is paid to their warning, when put to their only legitimate use as danger signals.

Complaints have been laid before the Police and the Magistracy but we are informed that according to the present law bearing upon the subject, the matter is one that must be proved to be a public nuisance by several householders who must combine to prosecute, and this cumbrous form practically tends to encourage the evil, by permitting it to develop and flourish unchecked.

We therefore humbly beg, that a short Ordinance may be passed, giving the Police the necessary powers to deal summarily with offences of this nature, as public nuisance, by the imposition of fines, and/or the cancelling of licence.

We venture to think that an amendment of Ordinance 10 of 1872, or 8 of 1879, Section 7, Sub-Section 4 would suffice.

[Here follow the signatures.]

The Honourable W. KESWICK seconded the motion, and addressed the Council. Petition read.

'DEFENCES.-ADDITIONAL VOTE OF ￡60,375.-The Acting Colonial Secretary moved the adoption of the following recommendations of the Finance Committee in connection with this vote:-

The Committee unanimously recommend the payment of the additional sum of ￡60,375, now asked for; but they do so on the distinct understanding that this vote shall be final for the military and defensive purposes of the Colony.

To pay this sum and complete the essential public works in progress, the Colony mus borrow; and the result will be that interest and the provision of a sinking fund will so cripple the resources of the Colony that urgently needed sanitary works must, for the present, be left in abeyance. The Colony being merely a depot, without natural products, is unable to increase its revenue to any appreciable extent, and it will be impossible for any further con- tribution to be made for military purposes.

The Honourable W. KESWICK seconded, and addressed the Council.

The Honourable P. RYRIE addressed the Council.

His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government also addressed the Council. Question-put and passed.

PROPOSED LOAN.-MEANS FOR REPAYING.-In connection with the above resolution, the Acting Colonial Secretary moved further that the following recommendation of the Finance Committee be adopted as a resolution of this Council:-

The Committee next proceeded to the consideration of the means to be devised for meeting the interest and the sinking fund in connection with the Loan which must be raised. The Committee unanimously consider that the best means of doing so would chiefly be by an increase of Stamp Duty.

The Honourable W. KESWICK seconded.

Question--put and passed.

His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government said that an Ordinance would be laid before the Council in due course.

ECCLESIASTICAL GRANTS.-The Honourable T. JACKSON, pursuant to notice moved the following resolutions, and addressed the Council :-

1.-That the Secretary of State for the Colonies be invited to reconsider the decision which has been arrived at as to the withdrawal of ecclesiastical grants in this Colony, with a view to the continuance of such grants, as in Singapore and in Mauritius.

4. That the instructions to disestablish the Church on the first opportunity were not called for by any public demand, and that no public feeling exists in the Colony subject except such as is adverse to the course proposed.

5.--That the policy of disestablishment, still far from being generally accepted at home, has been, as far as the information of this Council goes, distasteful to every Colony on which it has been imposed; that it has been reversed in two Colonies, and in at least one more continues to be an offence and a public grievance to the Community.

The Honourable W. KESWICK seconded the motion, and addressed the Council.

Question-put and passed.

His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government addressed the Council and said that would have much pleasure in transmitting these Resolutions to the Secretary of State.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND MAY, 1886.

Commitment of Offenders to and their Status at a

certified Reformatory School.

12. Whenever any offender who, in the judgement of the Court, or Magistrate before whom he is charged, is under the age of sixteen years, is convicted on criminal information or in a summary manner, of an offence punish- able with penal servitude or imprisonment, and is sentenced to be imprisoned for the term of ten days or a longer term, the Court, or Magistrate may in addition to his sentence or in lieu thereof, either at once or at the expiration of his period of imprisonment sentence him to be sent to a certi- fied Reformatory School, and to be there detained for a period of not less than two years and not more than five years.

(1.) Should there be at the time of sentence more than one certified Reformatory School, the particular School to which the offender is to be sent shall be named at the time of sentence or within seven days therefrom.

(2.) In choosing a certified Reformatory School the Court or Magistrate shall endeavour to ascertain the previous education, position in life and training of the offender, and so far as is possible the selection shall be made of a School most in conformity with such circumstances.

(3.) Should there be only one certified Reformatory School, it shall be lawful for the Court or Magistrate to order that the said youthful offender be therein detained. If any objection be made thereto, by or on behalf of any parent, or guardian, or near relative, or any person or body of persons on the ground of the particular religious training which may be ex- pected in such Reformatory School, the Court or Magistrate shall report the matter to the Governor. (4.) If upon such Report being forwarded or on any application being made to the Governor at any time, on behalf of any youthful offender sentenced to be detained in a certified Reformatory School, any objection is made to the particular religious influ- ence likely to be used in such Reformatory School, and the party making such application is willing to make suitable provision for the care, main- tenance and education of such youthful offender under proper security, it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council upon such terms as to him may seem advisable to set aside the sentence of the said Court or Magistrate and to direct that the custody of the said youthful offender be given to such person as he shall appoint, and any person taking such youthful offender from such custody, or knowingly assisting directly or indirectly such offender to escape from such custody, or knowingly harbouring or concealing or preventing from returning to such custody any youthful offender who has escaped therefrom, shall be liable to the

· penalties incurred under this Ordinance for the offences aforesaid.

13. The Governor may at any time order any offender to be discharged from a certified Reformatory School, or to be removed from one certified Reformatory School to another, but so that the whole period of detention of the offender in a Reformatory School shall not be increased by . such removal.

14. The Managers of a certified Reformatory School may, at any time after the expiration of eighteen months of the period of detention allotted to a youthful offender, by licence under their hands, permit him to live with any trustworthy and respectable person named in the licence willing to receive and take charge of him.

Any licence so granted shall not be in force for more than three months, but may at any time before the expira- tion of such three months be renewed for a further period not exceeding three months, to commence from the expira- tion of the previous period of three months, and so from time to time until the youthful offender's period of detention is expired.

Any such licence may also be revoked by the Managers of the School, by writing under their hands, at any time before the expiration of such period of three months, and there- upon the youthful offender to whom the licence related may be required by the Managers, by writing under their hands, to return to the School.

Offenders under 16 years of age convicted and sentenced to Imprisonment may be sen- tenced to be sent either at time of sen- tence on expir- ation of period of imprison- ment to certi- fied Reform- atory Schools.

Power to Governor to send offenders to Reformatory Schools on Conditional Pardon. (29 & 30 V. c. 117, s. 32.)

The time during which a youthful offender is absent from a certified Reformatory School in pursuance of a licence under this section shall, except where such licence has been forfeited by his misconduct, be deemed to be part of the time of his detention in the School, and at the expiration of the time fixed by his licence he shall be taken back to School. Any youthful offender escaping from the person with whom he is placed in pursuance of this section, or refusing to return to the School at the expiration of the time fixed by his licence, or any renewal thereof, or when required to do so on the revocation of his licence, shall be liable to the same penalty as if he had escaped from the School itself.

15. The Managers of a certified Reformatory School may, at any time after an offender has been placed out on licence as aforesaid, if he conducted himself well during his absence from the School, bind him, with his own consent, apprentice to any trade, calling, or service, notwithstanding that his period of detention has not expired; and every such binding shall be valid and effectual to all intents.

Offences in relation to Reformatory Schools.

16. If any offender detained in a certified Reformatory School wilfully neglects or wilfully refuses to conform to the Rules thereof, he shall, upon summary conviction before a Magistrate having jurisdiction in the place or district where the School is situate, be imprisoned, with or without hard labour, for any term not exceeding three months; and at the expiration of the term of his imprisonment he shall, by and at the expense of the Managers of the School, be brought back to the School from which he was taken, there to be detained during a period equal to so much of his period of detention as remained unexpired at the time of his being sent to prison.

17. If any offender sentenced to be detained in a certified Reformatory School escapes therefrom, he may at any time before the expiration of his period of detention, be appre- hended without warrant, and, if the Managers of the School think fit, but not otherwise, may (any other Ordi- nance to the contrary notwithstanding) be then brought before a Magistrate having jurisdiction in the place or dis- trict where he is found, or in the place or district where the School from which he escaped is situate; and he shall thereupon be liable, on summary conviction before such Magistrate, to be imprisoned, with or without hard labour, for any term not exceeding three months; and at the ex- piration of such term he shall, by and at the expense of the Managers of the School, be brought back to the School from which he escaped, there to be detained during a period equal to so much of his period of detention as remained unexpired at the time of his escaping.

18 Every person who commits any of the following offences, that is to say:-

(1.) Knowingly assists directly or indirectly an offender detained in a certified Reformatory School to escape from the School;

(2.) Directly or indirectly induces such an offender to

escape from the School;

(3.) Knowingly harbours, conceals or prevents froni returning to the School, or assists in harbouring, concealing, or preventing from returning to the School, any offender who has escaped from a certified Reformatory School,

shall, on summary conviction before a Magistrate, be liab? to a penalty not exceeding one hundred dollars, or at the discretion of the Magistrate to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two months, with or without hard labour.

Conditional Pardons.

19. Where before or after the passing of this Ordinance a youthful offender has been sentenced to Penal Servitude, or Imprisonment, and has been pardoned by the Governor on condition of his placing himself under the care of some charitable Institution for the reception and reformation of youthful offenders, the Govenor may direct him, if under the age of sixteen years, to be sent to a certified Reformatory School, the Managers of which consent to receive him for a period of not less than two years and not more than five years; and thereupon such offender shall be deemed to be subject to all the Provisions of this Ordinance, as if he had been originally sentenced to detention in a certified Reformatory School.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND MAY, 1886.

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 consul'

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 frequently accompanied by great disasters to the shipping.

The following Magnetic Observations made during the Year 1885 are published for g information.

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART

Acting Colonial Se

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 29th May, 1886.

　MAGNETIC OBSERVATIONS MADE DURING THE YEAR 1885. The observations of Declination and Horizontal Force were all made with the Kew Unifilar Magnetometer Elliott Brothers No. 55. The dip observations were made with the dip- Dover No. 71, partly with two new steel needles, No. 5 and No. 6, the axes of which I caused made of chilled bell metal in 1884. There is no doubt, that by selecting proper pieces of this the maker could produce axes turned as accurately as those made of steel, and I can recommen? needles for use on expeditions and in damp climates. Observations were made also with needle 1 and No. 2, after they had been repaired and furnished with new axes by Dover.

The circle-reading on the Unifilar Magnetometer corresponding to true north was determin observations of Polaris reflected from the speculum. Observations of the Sun near the first ve looking alternately towards and away from the Sun, were found to agree with the observati Polaris but were discontinued as being less accurate than the latter.

The observations of Horizontal Force are expressed in C. G. S. Units (one centimete. gramme, one second) but the monthly synopsis exhibits X, the Horizontal, as well as Y, the Ve and the Total Forces (which latter have been computed by aid of the observed Dips): also in E Units, (one foot, one grain, one second) and in Gauss's Units (one millimeter, one milligramm second). The value of log 'K at 20° Cent. adopted was 3.44973 in January and 3.44904 in D ber. The values for the intermediate months have been interpolated. The Induction-coeffici 4.917. The reduction of m, the magnetic moment of the vibrating magnet at a temperature of to to the freezing point of water is: +0.000 260t+ 0.000 002 44t.

The distances between the centres of the deflecting and the deflected magnets are expressed i

centimeters and the value of the constant P employed in the formula of reduction : X

is: +8.3424.

(1)

The times of vibration exhibited in the table are each derived from 12 observations of the time occupied by the magnet in making 100 vibrations, corrections having been applied for rate of chrone- meter and arc of vibration.

The mean value of the magnetic moment of the vibrating magnet was 0.51644 in English Units and 674.25 in C. G. S. Units.

On the determination of the declination.

　The zero or true north point on the horizontal circle of the magnetometer is ascertained as follows from observations of Polaris. The horizontality of the axis of the speculum having been verified th speculum is placed vertically and revolved round its vertical axis till the image of the wires, while are illuminated by a lamp held beside the collimating eye-piece of the telescope, appears in the tela. The speculum is turned by its slow motion screw till the image of the vertical wire is covered by the latter itself. The instrument is then revolved round its vertical and the speculum round its horisontal axis till the image of Polaris is bisected by the wires, and both verniers of the circle are then read. This operation is repeated after reversing the mirror on its pivots. The speculum is then turned half a circumference round its vertical axis and the operation repeated directly and again after reversing the mirror on its pivots. The image of the vertical wire is therefore four times covered by the wire.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH MAY, 1886.

The mean of the eight readings and the corresponding four times indicated by the chronometer, whose error is known, are respectively taken. The azimuth of Polaris : A, counted from true north, cor- responding to the mean of the times is calculated by the equations:-

tan M-tan 8 sec t

tan A=cos M tan t cosec (6-M)

where 8 is the declination, t the hour angle of Polaris, and the latitude.

On the determination of the temperature correction.

The deflecting magnet was fixed in the middle of a water-tight wooden box placed on a bar fixed like the deflection bar, and the magnetometer was revolved till the two magnets were at right angles to each other. The magnetometer was then clamped and the circle read off. The difference between this reading (magnet placed) and the reading before the deflector was placed (magnet away) being-u. Water at the highest of the three temperatures chosen was now poured into the box, and a thermometer, whose error had been previously determined, moved about therein. As soon as the Water temperature, ts, became constant, the scale was read, the angle of deflection being now=u. at the next temperature, t2, was then substituted, and the corresponding angle of deflection, u,, deter- mined. Water at the lowest temperature, t1, was then substituted, the corresponding deflection being =U1. The magnet, whose ends were of course left open, was found to assume the temperature of the water as soon as this became uniform.

　　　　　　The temperature co-efficients q and q' were then calculated from Balfour Stewart's equations (Comp. G. M. WHIPPLE: "On the Temperature-correction and Induction-coefficients of Magnets," in proceedings of the Royal Society, No. 181, 1877):-

x (t?-t1) + y (t. -t1)2= sin u, - sin u1

x (t2-t1) + y(t,-t1)

q=x cosec u

sin u,- sin u

q'=y cosec u

　　　　　　The operation was repeated and the readings corrected for change of declination. The correction being obtained in the form: q (t ? t1) + q' (t ? t1)2 suitable for reducing the magnetic moment to t1 degrees was converted to the form: qt+q't', for reducing to Q°, by aid of the corrections corresponding to 0°, 20° and 40° calculated from the former formula.

On the determination of the Induction-coefficient.

The induction coefficient is, after Lamont's method, determined from deflections, the magnet being placed with its N-pole alternately upwards and downwards at the same distance from the suspended needle. But as the vertical force is small in Hongkong, the apparatus was arranged for also observing horizontal induction, the magnet being then placed with its N-pole alternately northwards and south- wards.

Let m be the magnet moment of the magnet

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29?H MAY, 1886.

The formula for calculating μ, the increase of the moment of the magnet by the action of an inducing force equal to a C. G. S. unity are then, for vertical induction :-

tan (4-4′) tan(+6)

tan i X tan

μπ

and for horizontal induction :-

μ tan i

m tan(-) X tan (+′)

A short bar is fixed on the magnetometer in the same manner as the bar used in the deflections. There is at the end of this bar a pivot at about the same height as the deflected needle. The latter is if necessary raised or lowered by aid of the suspending thread. On the pivot the deflection bar is firmly fixed, so as to remain vertical to the short bar when turned on the pivot. On the deflection bar slides a carriage, that can be firmly screwed at any distance from the pivot. The deflecting magnet is fixed on this carriage and may be turned round its centre in a plane vertical to the fixed bar. In order to investigate the vertical induction the deflection bar is placed vertical and the magnet above with its N-pole upwards. The magnetometer is then turned, till the central division on the scale appears near the middle of the field in the telescope. The verniers and also the scale are read. The deflection bar is then revolved half a circumference till the magnet is below with its N pole down- wards. The scale is read and the operation repeated. Then the magnet is turned half a circumference on its axis, the magnetometer revolved till the central division appears in the middle of the field and the analogous operation performed. The short bar (with the deflection bar and magnet, which are not disturbed) is then reversed and the operations performed on the opposite side of the deflected needle. In order to investigate the horizontal induction the deflection bar is placed horizontal and the analogous operations performed on both sides of the needle. As the horizontal force is so much greater than the vertical force in Hongkong, the latter method is more accurate than the former, although the needle is found to tremble more when the deflection bar is horizontal, than when it is vertical. It is assumed, that the induced magnetism is distributed in the same manner as the per- manent magnetism, and the small difference between the values of the coefficient derived from the vertical and horizontal inductions respectively, is no doubt due to the want of perfect accuracy of this assumption, but the difference is almost insensible.

The following Notice from the Director of the Observatory is re-published for general information.

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 24th April, 1886.

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 possible, be made between 1 p. and 4 p., as I am particularly engaged at other times.

RCULAR.

DOWNING STREET,

9th April, 1886.

SIWith reference to my predecessor's Circular Despatch of the 14th of September last, I have the honour to transmit to you, for the information of the Colony under your Government, a copy of a morandum which has been prepared by the Board of Trade relative to the alterations made by fbmarine Telegraph Act, 1885, in the stipulations of the International Convention of the 14th

ah, 1884, for the protection of Submarine Telegraph Cables.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

be Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

GRANVILLE.

Memorandum on The Submarine Telegraph Act, 1885.

The alterations made by this Act in the stipulations of the International Convention of the 14th 1884, for the protection of submarine telegraphs, are two, and were urgently pressed for by various Telegraph Companies (including the principal Transatlantic Companies), whose combined capital was stated to amount to about 28,000,000l., and who claimed to own or work about two-thirds of the entire length of all the cables in the world. Their views were supported by Companies who

anufacture, lay, and repair cables.

The two alterations are as follows:-

　　　　　　　　1. Subsection 4 of section 3 provides that a person shall not be deemed to have unlawfully and wilfully broken or injured a submarine cable, where injury has been done to that cable in the bona fide attempt to repair another cable.

　　　　　　　It was thought but fair that it should be placed beyond a doubt that an owner of a cable should not inenr a criminal liability for any unavoidable consequence which might result from his undertaking the legitimate operation of repairing his property and restoring telegraphic communication.

2. Section 4 provides that Article IV of the Convention shall not apply to that part of a cable which is laid in a depth of water exceeding 100 fathoms.

The 100-fathoms limit was here adopted as being the extreme depth within which vessels can chor, and therefore the depth within which cables would be most liable to damage, and also as being a depth beyond which it is more difficult to take up and repair cables.

　　　　　　　　　　* 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.

The following Annual Reports on Education in Hongkong, for the year 1885, which were laid before the Legislative Council on the 14th ultimo, are published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 19th June, 1886.

(1.)

Report by the Inspector of Schools.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

EDUCATION DEpartment, HONGKONG, 25th February, 1886.

SIR,- I have the honour to forward herewith the Annual Report on Education for the year 1885.

2. The total number of Schools, subject to supervision and annual examination by the Govern- ment, amounted, in the year 1885, to 90, as compared with 63 in 1880, and 39 in 1875. The total number of scholars enrolled in Schools subject to supervision and annual examination by the Govern- ment amounted, during the year 1885, to 5,833, as compared with 3,886 in 1880, and 2,606 in 1875. It appears, therefore, that there has been an increase of 51 Schools and 3,412 scholars during the last 10 years.

3. The number of Schools at work during the year 1885 was the same (90) as in 1884, but the attendance, instead of increasing as hitherto was generally the rule from year to year, fell off in 1885. In the year 1884 as many as 5,885 scholars were enrolled, but in 1885 only 5,833. This falling off, instead of increasing, of the attendances was caused by local disturbances which took place in October 1884, when about 10 per cent. of the Chinese children attending school were suddenly withdrawn and many of the children were removed from the Colony.

4. The above mentioned 90 Schools, which were supervised and examined by the Government during the year 1885, may be roughly divided into Governinent Schools (wholly or partially main- tained and controlled by the Government) and Mission Schools (subsidized by the Government on the basis of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme). The Government Schools, whilst abstaining from religious teaching in the Christian sense of the word, provide the moral-religious teaching of Confucianism, because it is inseparable from the teaching of the Chinese classical language, and, in the case of 6 Schools, add to it purely secular English teaching. The Mission Schools, whilst giving a religious and distinctly Christian education, are inspected and examined by the Government and receive annual grants, without any reference to specifically religious teaching, simply on the basis of the detailed results as exhibited by the examination of every individual scholar under the respective Standards fixed by the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. Strictly speaking, therefore, none of the Schools under the super- vision of the Government are absolutely secular Schools, though the Government' Schools may be said to be non-Christian Schools, nor does the Government make any payment or give any grant directly

552 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 19TH JUNE, 1886.

in support of religious teaching. At the same time it is evident that the educational policy of Government, whilst abstaining from all interference with religious teaching, has, during the last years, practically had the effect of encouraging distinctly religious education. The gradual cha which the proportion of Government Schools and Mission Schools underwent, since the introduct of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, sufficiently proves this statement. In the year 1873, when the Gra in-Aid Scheme came into operation, there were under Government supervision 30 Government Sch and 6 Mission Schools. In the year 1880, there were 36 Government Schools and 27 Mission Scho and in the year 1885 we had 35 Government Schools with an enrolment of 1,792 scholars and Mission Schools with 4,041 scholars under Government supervision. As this remarkable growt Christian Mission Schools is principally due to the grants annually given by the Government on t equitable basis of "payment for definite results in definite (not specifically religious) subjects," wh at the same time the Chinese and other non-Christian taxpayers had a fairly sufficient number of n Christian Schools provided for their special purposes, justice has been done to the various conflict educational interests represented by the heterogeneous mass of taxpayers in the Colony.

5. The expenses incurred by the Government in connection with the above mentioned 5, children, enrolled, during the year 1885, in 90 Schools under Government inspection, amour altogether to $36,092 03 or $6.18 per head. These expenses were distributed as follows. Government Central School, with 596 scholars, cost the Government. $12,885.00, or $21.61 per h The Government Schools, outside the Central School, with 790 scholars, cost the Governm $3,570.80 or $4.52 per head. The Aided Government Schools (in the villages), with 406 schol cost the Government $1,737.68, or $2.58 per head. The Grant-in-Aid Schools (denominatio Mission Schools), with 4,041 scholars, cost the Government $14,593.39, or $3.61

per head.

6. The proportion of boys to girls enrolled in Schools under Government supervision contin to improve year by year, the progress thus made being entirely due to the satisfactory working of Grant-in-Aid system and the efforts made by the several Missionary Societies. In 1873, when Grant-in-Aid system first came into operation, the proportion of girls to boys enrolled in Schools un the supervision of the Government, was as 1 to 6; in the year 1880, it stood at 1 to 4; and in the 1885 (as in the preceding year) it was as 1 to 3. As the last census, taken in 1881, showed bi slight excess of the number of boys, as compared with the number of girls, resident in Hongko there is evidently yet much room for further extention of female education in the Colony. Th were, in the year 1885, altogether 30 Girls Schools at work under the supervision of the Governm Of these 30 Schools, as many as 12 are under the management of the London Mission; 6 are un the management of the Female Education Society (Baxter Vernacular Schools); 5 are Roman Cath Schools; 3 are Mission Schools of the Church of England, and the remainder consists of 1 B Mission School, 1 Berlin Mission School, 1 Wesleyan Methodist School and 1 Government Sch The majority of these Girls Schools, as many as 22, are purely Chinese Schools, giving to Chin girls a Christian education in the Chinese language. One School attempted, by way of experiment reach the half-caste Chinese girls in the Colony and offered to give them a Chinese education w English in addition, but the experiment proved a complete failure. There is, it seems, no apprecia demand among the purely. Chinese girls of the Colony for English teaching, and the half-caste Chin girls, who would like to learn English, are too few in number and too scattered to encourage sim attempts by means of Day-Schools. A Boarding-School might have better prospects. There further, 2 Girls Schools giving, to Chinese children only, a European education in the Chin language. For Portuguese children there are 3 Schools, giving a European education in the Portugu language, and 2 Schools giving to European and Portuguese girls a European education in English language. There is but one small private School in the Colony where English Protest children can be educated. Mr. BELILIOS established, during the year 1885, a scheme calculated encourage the promoters of female education in the Colony, and most of the above mentioned G Schools competed at the end of the year for the medals and prizes provided by the Trustees of funds so generously given for this purpose by Mr. BELILIOS.

7. The results of the annual examinations of the Schools under the supervision of the Governm will be found detailed in the Tables appended to this Report, and, as far as the Government Cent School is concerned, in the Report of its Headmaster, which will be found below. A few supplement observations may, however, be of interest.

8. The system followed by me, in examining the various Classes of the Government Central Sch was virtually the same as that adopted in previous years, except that most of the papers set were propo by the Headmaster (for the purpose of determining the award of the annual prizes and scholarships the School), and consequently the questions which the scholars had to answer at this examinat were of a more searching character, affording a test somewhat more severe, than I would have thou necessary. Nevertheless the result obtained was very good, as 95.38 per cent. passed, and it compa under the circumstances, quite favourably with the result (95.58 per cent.) obtained in the preced

year.

9. Details, as to the results of the English examination of the several Classes of the Cen School, will be found exhibited in the subjoined Tables.

　　　　　　10. Comparing the above tabulated details with the results of the previous year's examination, I find that the Central School has, on the whole, made considerable progress, especially in the subjects of grammar, map-drawing, arithmetic, reading and dictation. In a few subjects, notably Euclid (where there was a decrease of 24 per cent. in the percentage of passes obtained), mensuration (decrease, 16.65 per cent.) and composition (decrease, 7.93 per cent.) there was, however, a falling off observable, which I ascribe more to the greater severity of the test applied at this examination than to anything else. In Class I only 83.75 per cent. passed (as compared with 92 per cent. in the preceding year). The progress made by this Class was most marked in dictation, reading and algebra, but in this Class also occurred the above mentioned falling off in Euclid, mensuration and composition. Class II distinguished itself considerably in the subjects of reading, dictation and translation, doing

But Class III was peculiarly Whilst scoring 100 per cent. of passes in reading (as compared with 83.33 per cent. gained unfort preceding year), and 89.65 per cent. of passes in dictation (as compared with 76.66 per cent. gai the preceding year), this Class exhibited & considerable falling off in all the other subjects.

12. Comparing the results of the Anglo-Chinese examination of 1885, with those of the preced year, I find the Anglo-Chinese Classes of the Central School made, on the whole, great progress in 13 in Chinese knowledge. In fact, the second and third divisions of these Anglo-Chinese Classes gain in 1885, in every single subject, a much higher percentage of passes. nearly so well, and the third division did worse in every subject, copywriting excepted, than in The first division did. preceding year. But, on the whole, considerable advantages appear to have been derived from change in the system of teaching introduced by the Herdmaster an 1 from the use of the School 'n Committee's First Reading Book adopted in these Classes during the year 1995. examination of the Central School exhibited also very fair rests in all Cases but one.

The Chin III and V gained a higher percentage of passes this year in every subject, and Class I in every subi but one, and even there the difference was very slight (87 per cent, in 1884. and 86 per cent. in 188. But Class IV shows, on comparing the percentage of passes obtained in 1885 with that of the precedi year, a considerable falling off in every single subject.

13. The examination of those Government Schools (at Saiyingp'un, Wantsai, Wongnaichun Yaumati, and Stanley), which give exactly the same education as that provided by the lower half the Central School, shewed decidedly good results. There is also abundant evidence indicating that ti system introduced some years ago of giving, on the basis of an annual competitive examination, fr tuition in the higher Classes of the Central School to a few prize scholars of those outside Schools, h

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 19TH JUNE, 1886. 555

supplied a healthy stimulus. As the smartest of the boys drafted from those outside Schools into the Central School occasionally rise to be Monitors and Pupilteachers, some of them will eventually be available as teachers in their own villages.

14. The. overnment Schools and Aided Schools which give an exclusively Chinese education call for no special remarks, with the exception of the matter of attendance, which has always been very irregular in these Schools because they are essentially Schools for the poor. In the villages of Shaukiwan, Sheko, Stanley and Aberdeen, many of the children are periodically withdrawn from School during the fishing seasons for employment on board the fishing junks. In the village of Tait'amtuk the School was gradually emptied last year and had to be closed because the Water Works give so much remunera." --loyment to the villagers of both sexes and of all ages, that the children who previously attended School are now employed in the lighter kinds of agricultural work. In Tanglungchau the employment of children in the sugar refinery interferes to a slight extant with the School attendance. But all over the Colony the children of the poor are, as everywhere in the world where attendance is not compulsory, largely withheld from school because they contribute in some way or other towards the support of the family. These circumstances, together with the fact that many Chinese girls, being purchased children, are at an early age employed as domestic servants, contribute to swell the number of uneducated children in the Colony, which I roughly estimate at 11,367, as will be seen from Table XVI appended to this Report.

15. As regards the results of the examinations of the Grant-in-Aid Schools, the first point of importance is, at present, the working of the Revised Scheme (of 1883) which came into operation in the year 1884. The changes introduced by this revision were intended, in the first instance, to reduce the earning power of those inexpensive Chinese Schools (in Class I) which give a purely Chinese education and which formerly earned abnormally high grants as compared with the grants earned by English Schools, and, in the second instance, to induce the Masters of those Chinese Schools (in Class 1) to bring forward a Jarger proportion of their scholars into the higher Standards (IV, V and VI) of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. It will be seen from my last year's Report that the working of the Revised Scheme appeared to show in its first year (1884) rather favourable results, for the aims which the Government had in view, in changing the conditions of the Scheme, were evidently realised to a great extent, as the earning power of those Schools in Class I was materially reduced (in some cases even 37 per cent.) and a considerable increase occurred in the number of children brought forward into two of the higher Standards (IV and V). I now subjoin a Comparative Table shewing the working of the Revised Scheme in 1884 and 1885 as compared with the results of the

year 1883.

16. It appears from the foregoing Table that the effects of the Revision of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, as exhibited by the results of the year 1885, are of the same nature as. those noticed in my Report for the preceding year. It will be observed, in the first instance, that since the Revision of the Scheme took effect, fewer children were presented for examination in the lowest Standard (1) than in 1883. This is not a result to be deplored as the children, who under the old Scheme would have been examined in Standard I, were actually examined in a higher Standard (II). Of the 128 children examined in 1885 in Standard I, only 80 passed and 18 failed, and I noticed that most of those who .

556 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 19TH JUNE, 1886.

failed were far below the former average of age. The effect of the Revision of the Scheme, so far as Standard I in Schools of Class I is concerned (reducing the value of a pass from $5 to $2) appears to me to have been a tendency, on the part of the teachers, to bring forward children at an abnormally early age for examination in Standard I and to place children who ought to be in Standard I at once under the teaching of Standard II. I am therefore inclined to recommend that, on a future revision of the Scheme, the value of a pass in Standard be raised from $2 to $3 and that copywriting be taken in this Standard (but not to be counted if the scholar has not passed in two of the other subjects). It will be observed, secondly, that the results of the year 1885, show, as far as all the higher Standards are concerned, that the aims of the Revision of the Scheme, both as regards a reduction of the earning power of these Schools in Class I and also as regards the needful increase of scholars to be brought forward in the higher Standards, have been secured to a certain extent in 1885 as well as in the preceding year. I am inclined to think it might be well, on a future further revision of the Scheme, to take copywriting in Standards V and VI, which would act as a further encouragement to teachers to bring forward more scholars in those highest Standards.

17. It will be seen from Table XI appended to this Report, that 4 of the Schools in Class I succeeded, even under the revised Scheme, in gaining a grant slightly exceeding the amount actually expended during the year. These are, however, Schools with exceptionally large attendance, particu- larly well placed and through European supervision managed at a cheap rate. I do not think that the value of passes in Schools of this Class admits of any further reduction without causing a serious check to the advance of education in the Colony. Nor is there, looking broadly at the proportion which the grants paid to the various Grant-in-Aid Schools for 1885 actually bear to the expenses incurred by those Schools during the same year, any reason to think that the grants are now dispropor- tionately high. The Grant-in-Aid Schools may be divided into cheap and expensive Schools. All the Schools in Class I which give simply a Chinese education are cheap Schools, cheap because the teaching staff consists of natives and because nearly all these Schools are located in Chinese houses the rent of which is comparatively low. All the Schools in Classes II, III and IV, giving a Chinese education with English in addition, or a European education in the Chinese language, or a European education in some European language (English or Portuguese), are expensive Schools because they require, either partly or wholly, a European staff and are nearly all located in European buildings affording superior accommodation. Now comparing the total of grants paid for 1885 to those cheap Schools with the total of their expenditure, I find that, in these Schools of Class I, as many as 1,938 boys and 1,123 girls were educated in 1885 at a cost (to the Managers) of $14,562.76 and that the Govern ment paid for these Schools grants amounting in the aggregate to $8,898.31 or 61 per cent. of the actual expenditure; but, as one fourth of the grant is a personal bonus paid to the teacher, the Managers received from the Government only $6,673.74 or 45 per cent. of their expenses. And in the case of those expensive Schools in Classes II, III and IV, I find that in these Schools 517 boys and 463 girls were educated in 1885 at a cost (to the Managers) of $22,744.93 and that the Government paid, in grants, a total of $5,559.61 or 24 per cent., of which sum the Managers received only $4,169.71 or 18 per cent. of their expenses. It is evident, therefore, that the grants now paid are by no means too high in comparison with the actual expenditure of the Schools, but that, owing to the unavoidable difference in the cost of Schools in Class I and Schools in Classes II, II and IV, the former have the advantage. On the other hand, it must also be considered that the Managers of Schools in Class IV, and partly also in Class II, reimburse themselves to a small extent by the fees paid by the scholars, whilst the scholars of Schools in Class I pay no fees at all.

year

18. For the first time in the history of our Grant-in-Aid Scheme, a School was placed in the 1885, experimentally, in Class II, giving a Chinese education with English in addition. I regret to say the experiment "ed. But the failure was clearly due to the smallness of the demand for such an education existing in the particular neighbourhood of that School, and not to any defect or insuffi- ciency of the respective portion of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme.

19. There are, and have all along been, only two Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class III (Schools in which a European education is given in the Chinese language). These Schools, viz., the Berlin Mission and Basel Mission Boarding Schools for Punti and Ilakka girls, have done excellent work in 1885, and the complaints which I made in a former Report as regards certain defects in composition have evidently borne good fruit. On a future further revision of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, it might be advisable to assimilate the Geography subjects of Standards IV, V and VI of Schools in Class III with the corresponding subjects in the same Standards of Schools in Class I.

20. As regards the Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class IV (Schools which give a European education in a European language), there are this year but few subjects calling for special remarks. The Bridges Street Poor School, giving an Anglo-Portuguese education, deserves however special mention as it signally distinguished itself by scrupulous cleanliness and economic neatness visible in all direc- tions, as well as by its excellent organisation and method of instruction. This School is taught by Sisters of the Italian Convent who are properly trained and certificated teachers, having passed the examinations prescribed by the Italian Education Code. As regards St. Joseph's College, though it does not call for special remarks with respect to the results of the examination, I note here that it

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVTM GAZETTE OF 19?H JUNE, 1886. 557

continues to suffer, like all other Schools principally attended by Portuguese children, under irregu- larities of attendance, caused chiefly by poverty and physical infirmities. I referred to this matter in my Report for 1882 and a laudable effort has been made since then by the Director of St. Joseph's College to urge Portuguese parents to send their children to school with greater regularity, but · although a great improvement was visible in 1883, hardly any further progress has been made in this direction since then. As no scholar can be admitted to the examination, on the basis of which the annual grant is paid, unless he can show a minimum of 200 daily attendances (of 4 hours at least) during the year, the irregularity of attendances registers itself by the proportion of boys enrolled and examined. The following Table shows the percentage of enrolled Portuguese scholars annually examined during the last 5 year 'n St. Joseph's College.

　The above figures show that, since the year 1883, the School has steadily improved in regularity of attendance, but they also show that, since the year 1883, the enrolment of scholars has steadily declined. There is therefore reason to fear that the School, through insisting upon regularity of attendance, lost in popularity, and it may be that the utmost limit which is practicable in the matter has been reached. There is no doubt to my mind that the requirement of 200 daily attendances, which the Grant-in-Aid Scheme insists upon as a preliminary condition to be fulfilled before a grant can be given, presses far more upon the Portuguese Schools of the Colony than upon those attended by any other nationality, owing to the comparative poverty and physical debility of the majority of Portuguese children. There was in former years a glaring insufficiency of School-days, because ecclesiastical Saints-days were formerly allowed to interfere with the working of the School, and this had been remedied in 1882 in consequence of my representations on the subject, but since 1883 a considerable falling off has set in in this respect. The number of School-days, during which St. Joseph's College was at work during the last 5 years, compares rather unfavourably with the School-days kept by the Government Central School, as the subjoined comparative Table shows.

　21. The subject of needlework examination in Grant-in-Aid Schools of all Classes requires a few words of comment. The peculiar characteristic of the Hongkong Grant-in-Aid Scheme, as compared with the Elementary Education Act, 1870, on which the Hongkong Scheme is based, is its simplicity, and this simplicity of our Scheme is nowhere more conspicuous than in that portion of the Scheme which provides grants for needlework. As the selection of School-books is left by our Scheme to the unfettered choice of the Managers, so also the selection of the kind of needlework to be submitted for examination in each School and in cach Standard is left entirely free. The Scheme simply says, "in Girls Schools, one of the four hours for instruction in the subjects of the several Standards may be assigned to plain needlework, which will have the following values, viz. fair, one dollar; good, one dollar and a half; very good, two dollars." The mode of conducting this needlework examination is left to the discretion of the Inspector. For many years this annual needlework examination was

The prince Pass) communicates with the ocean about midway between Garden and Carnac Islands, and is barely half-a- ards) wide at its narrowest part, between Stag Rocks and Flat Ledge. The depths vary from 19 to 80 deat, oth being found on small rocky heads, which obstruct the channel, with from 27 to 36 feet close around them. natural leading marks to guide a vessel clear of these dangers. A current usually sets obliquely across the er to the N.E. or S.W., according to the direction of the wind; and, therefore, a sailing vessel cannot always -feet rocks, and might be carried over them before the leadsman could call the soundings. A considerable s nsually experienced in the channel, for which an allowance must be made of from 2 to 3 feet. Therefore, rest to His Excellency the Governor that the present regulations, which prohibit vessels of over 16 feet draught

through the Challenger Pass, could not be altered without danger to navigation.

se re-examination was also made of the channel nearest to Garden Island (called on the charts "North Channel"), of ascertaining whether or not a better channel than the Challenger Pass existed in that locality, as from a of the published chart, appeared to be indicated. Our re-survey, however, led to the discovery of several nken dangers, with from 9 to 18 feet on them, and deep water close around; and clearly shows that vessels Attempt "North Channel" (unless compelled by circumstances to do so), but proceed by the Challenger Pass, at 18 feet is the greatest draught that can be taken through the latter channel in safety.

cks recently discovered in the "North Channel" are remarkable sandstone pinnacles, the sounding-lead be summits suddenly into the deep water which surrounds them. Although the soundings give little or no f the approach to these dangers, the bright yellow pinnacle rocks can readily be discerned from a boat during er and a clear sky.

ended is a description of the principal dangers discovered, which His Excellency the Governor may deem of portance to local navigation as to necessitate a "Notice to Mariners". being published in the Gazette.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 26th June, 1886.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 10th May, 1886.

SIR, I have the honour to forward my Annual Report for the year 1885, together with the "ables showing the work done in the different Establishments in my Department I also forward reports -om the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, the Superintendent of the Lock Hospital, nd the Government Analyst.

POLICE.

The admissions from the Police Force to Hospital show the slight increase of nine in 1885 as pared with the admissions in 1884. For the last five years the number of admissions to Hospital have een as follows:-1881, 498; 1882, 549; 1883, 599; 1884, 486; and 1985 495; so that the impro ement in the health of the whole Force taken as a total, who the strength of the differe eit is aken into consideration, still continues. The average strength of the Force in the last five years has een as follows:-1881, 624; 1882, 582; 1883; 658; 1884, 666; and 1885, 674.

There were nine deaths in the Force this year, viz., three Europeans, one Indian and five Chinese. Two Europeans died in Hospital, one from cellulitis and one from heat apoplexy. The other died in his wn quarters from apoplexy. The Indian died while in India on leave. Gr the Chinese, three died n Hospital, one of these of cholera, the rest away in China on leave.

　　　　　　　　Table I shows the admissions of each section of the Force to Hospital in the different months of he year, the largest numbers being as usual during the summer months.

　　　　　　　　Table II gives the average strength of the different sections of the Force, the deaths, rate of ickness and mortality to strength.

Table III shows the admissions to Hospital from the different stations and districts of the several ections of the Force during each month of the year.

The Central District Stations, as usual, show up worst, but this year worse than ever in the Euro- an portion of the Force, for while the Indian and Chinese sections in this district show a decrease espectively of 14 and 7 admissions, the European section shows an increase of 36. The admissions

om this portion of the Force in this district in 1884 were 41, whereas in 1885 they numbered 77.

　　　　　　　　Whitfeild Station still holds its own as the worst of the outstations, sending on the worst type of malarial fever cases, and this is entirely due to the great amount of earth cutting in virgin soil going n in the neighbourhood.

The other stations were about the same average as last year. The only station that has been mproved is that of the Water Police, on being removed from a Hulk to a large and airy building on hore.

　　　　　　　　The admissions to Hospital from the various sections of the Force for the last five years are as ollows:-

Years

The knees therefore exceeds any of the previous years, by over seventy admissions, and the dosths by eleven more than any previous year.

　　There was an outbreak of cholera among the Troops, and of eighteen cases admitted to Hospital, twelve died. This accounts in a great measure for the increase in the mortality but not for the increase in sickness. The cause of this outbreak amongst the Troops I cannot account for. No cases occurred amongst the Police in the Colony. The one Chinese Constable that was admitted with choleraic symptoms contracted the disease in the Chinese City of Kowloon, and was sent in to Hospital immediately on his return to the Colony. No case was admitted to or occurred in the Gaol. In both cases the quarters are inferior for the most part to those occupied by Troops both as regards ventilation and over- crowding, and in the case of the Police some of the Stations are very greatly inferior in the unwholesome- ness of their surroundings. I shall have more to say on this subject when referring to the sanitation of the Colony.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

　　　　This Establishment remains in the same condition as in my last Annual Report. The founda- ?tions with their sustaining walls for the new wards, &c. have taken the whole year in construction, and

I hope this year will see their completion.

The house for the Superintendent is now finished and occupied.

The admissions to Hospital this year have exceeded all former years, but are only slightly in excess of those in 1883. The following table shews the number and position brought to Hospital during the past five years.

　　　　　　　The grease is pretty evenly distributed over all classes but chiefly noticeable on Private_Paying sient, Gernment Servants, and Destitutes. The increase in the number of Government Servants chiefly caused by those employed on the Tait'amtuk excavations and tunnel which has proved ry unhealthy work, and the patients suffer severely from malarial fever and its sequela.

The percentage of deaths to admissions was 5.03, the highest percentage but two in the last ten

Sixteen of these deaths were from injuries. There were fourteen cases of gunshot wounds; of ese two died. There was a larger number of severe injuries than usual, as will be seen by reference Table No. V, those of contused wounds, many of them of great severity, being more than double; e number being 40 in 1884 as compared with 83 in 1885.

In the last few years the number of surgical cases have been greatly on the increase, and this is to expected with the greater increase of manufactories having complicated machinery.

This year the Superintendent was absent on sick leave for five months. During his absence Drs. D, PIKE, and THOMPSON of the Army Medical Department acted alternately in his plass; but as r services could only be spared from their Military duties during the 'v, DE. L'Angus performed duties at night, or in his absence I was called upon.

The services of another European wardmaster were required, and a temporary one has beek pointed with a strong recommendation from myself that the appointment shall be made permanent Hext year.

　　　　　　　Mr. CROW, the Apothecary and Analyst, was on the sick list for some time, and considerable diffi- ty was experienced during his temporary absence, but this was less than it might have been, had ere not been a Chinese Student Apothecary of considerable experience. His services we have unfor- nately lost, and this year there is a new Student Apothecary whom it will take a considerable time instruct, before he can be of much service.

SMALL POX HOSPITAL.

Fourteen cases of Small Pox were admitted to this Hospital, of whom only one died. Most of

were of a mild type.

Table VIIa shews the number and nationality of the patients admitted and the number of deaths. In the summer months, when no small pox cases are received, this building was used as a Cholera spital; nine cases were received, of whom six died. There were three Europeans, one colored man 1 five Chinese; of these, three Europeans and three Chinese died.

PUBLIC MORTUARY.

VIII gives the list of dead bodies brought in during the year, and these are yearly on the (this list does not include bodies brought from the Government Civil Hospital for examina- n, after death by the Coroner's order). Coroner's Inquests being very frequent. Dr. MARQUES has per- med the duties of the Medical Department of this new Establishment, and been assisted by a Chinese ardmaster from the Hospital. This I think is very objectionable, for not only does it take up a at deal of this man's time when he can ill be spared at the Hospital, but in view of the many and ious injuries in which he has to see to the dressing of wounds, his employment as Post Mortem endant is most objectionable, and might add to the danger of the patients. I have therefore strongly commended that instead of a watchman at this place, a resident well paid Post Mortem attendant ould be appointed, which I hope will be sanctioned.

　The above figures show a decrease in the number of admissions of nearly 400 a co 1884, with a decrease in the daily average of 22; but at times during the year the daily very high.

Table IX shews the number of admissions to the Gaol Hospital, the nationality, diseas The number of cases admitted were sixty two less than in 1884, and the number of compared with three in 1884.

Table X shews the number of cases of any importance treated in the cells. Every day there are numbers of petty complaints attended to that are not registered, also a number of malingerers and others that come up for examination or to be reported on as to their fitness for punishment.

　Table XI shews the rate of sickness and deaths with the percentage to total admissions and daily average number of prisoners. In both cases this is very small, especially when the overcrowded state of the Gaol is taken into consideration, on which subject a Committee of Inquiry is now sitting te suggest a remedy if possible.

　Table XIa shews the number of admissions to Hospital direct from the Courts; Europeans suffering chiefly from alcoholia, Chinese from debility or venereal disease.

Table XI she the tum er ef opium smokers consuming one mace and upwards during the yea eighty altogether; of these twelve only were admitted to Hospital, seven of whom were suffering from debility but with no particular symptoms from the effects of opium; one from gonorrhoea, one from bubo and two from sprains; none had to be admitted owing to any effects from the deprivation of opium. Those suffering from debility were admitted as soon as received. No deaths occurred among the smokers of opium. The oldest opium smoker was 70 years of age and had been an opium smoker 52 years; his daily consumption being three mace; his weight on admission was 99 fbs. which increased to 105 lbs., by the end of his first month in Gaol, showing that 52 years of opium smoking had not much impaired his digestive powers.

　One of greatest opium smokers who consumed 5 mace, was 56 years of age, and had been ar opium smoker 36. years; his weight was 115 lbs. on admission, and 117 lbs. at the end of the first month of his sentence.

The only other smoker of 5 mace was 64 years of age, had been addicted to this troublesome vice 32 years, weighed 100 lbs. on admission, was only in Gaol two weeks, and left with the same we he came in.

last

The lightest weight on admission was 80 lbs., 5 lbs. heavier than the lightest weight admitte year; he was 32 years of age, had only been a smoker 4 years; his consumption being only 1 mac a day; he increased in weight 1 fb. in the first month, and was never under treatment for any cause.

　These are a few queer facts for the anti-opium smoking Society to digest. That a man 70 years old, 52 years an opium smoker, consuming daily 3 mace (equivalent to 3 drams), increased his weich 6 lbs. in a month, shews that his digestive powers at any rate were not much affected by this terrible vice. His daily consumption of opium by smoking was enough to kill twenty four men if eaten : allowing the liberal dose of 10 grains to each, whereas 4 grains is given as a dose that would ki most men unaccustomed to its use in toxological works. Half a pint of gin is given as the smallest dose ever known to kill an adult ;-fancy a man consuming 12 pints of gin a day for 52 years.

It is curious how small has been the success of Europeans in introducing drunkeness amongst the Chinese, compared with their success amongst nearly every other race. Perhaps it is as well that the Chinese have chosen the lesser vice of opium smoking. Of 32 Europeans admitted to the Govern- ment Hospital, 6 were admitted suffering more or less from symptoms of Delirium Tremens.. Of 221 Chinese admitted to Hospital 7 were suffering from debility, who were opium smoker this is the

The sole treatment these prisoners received was Quinine mixture with low diet for the first few and then the full ordinary diet of the Gaol. They all but the one marked with * increased in weight that one was only in Gaol two weeks; he lost no weight.

The lightest weight of these 7 was 90 lbs. on admission, whereas the lightest weight among the smokers admitted into Gaol was 80 and he was never under treatment at all. The average ht of the opium smokers was about 105, and 28 of them were up to or over the average weight of men admitted into Gaol which is about 110 lbs., that is giving a very liberal average from lations made. My strongest chair coolie who is a giant compared with 99 out of every hundred in aol, only turns the scale just under 130 lbs. It takes a great deal of fat and muscle to make up be smallness of bone in Chinamen. Again I have to state that I find no special symptom as the of pium smoking or its immediate stoppage. On the list of opium smokers the men range 18 to 70 years of age, having been smokers from 1 to 52 years, and consuming from 1 to 5 mace. As I have stated a Committee of Inquiry is at present sitting on the subject of overcrowding in aol.. The question is whether the system can be rendered according to European ideas sufficiently rent to prevent overcrowding or whether we shall be compelled to increase the accommodation he increasing number of scoundrels coming from China proper, for not one in a hundred is born bred in Hongkong, or been a resident for as much as ten years.

I recommend a further reduction of diet, which years ago was reduced to what it is now on ry mendation, and I still think, as I said years ago, the system of giving, from 10 to 20 strokes of attan for petty thefts, &c., instead of from a fortnight to three months' better entertainment in and lodging with lighter work than any coolie has outside, would do some good as a deterrent. That is the system pursued in India. and if the Indians can bear the rattan, I don't see why the

we cannot.

GOVERNMENT LUNATIC ASYLUM.

Table XId shews the number of admissions, nativity, sex and disease of patients received into nstitution. The number of admissions have been larger than usual and have in the majority of been received from ships in harbour, Coast Ports and Japan. It is a question whether this should be saddled with the keep and expense of sending to their own country of destitute patients from the Coast Ports, and the matter has been referred to the Secretary of State. Of in all cases in which their nationality can be proved, the Consuls pay their expenses.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The which has been now in use a year, has proved all that can be desired in the accommodation it Three remained at the end of the year. Most have been sent to their native countries incurable.

TUNG WA HOSPITAL.

The total number of patients treated in this Hospital which is entirely managed by Chinese ors and Doctors was 1,967. Of these 1,006 died. The number of out patients treated was 111,878. The number of moribund cases admitted was 283.

the number of Patients, admitted to the Small Pox wards was 36; of these eighteen died. The y of these patients were children."

number of Vaccinations performed in Hongkong and Kowloon was 2,120. The chief reason great mortality in this Hospital is that most of the patients, when admitted, are hopeless cases, mese having a great antipathy to going into Hospital at all except in the last extremity, or in futter destitution.

　　Table XVe 2 shews the number of Naval Seamen who have contracted constitutional disease in bagkong, which is only one.

Table XVe shows the number of Military that have contracted constitutional disease in Hong ng which is 14.

　The difference between the Naval and Military men is explained by the Seamen in most cases ing to the registered houses, whilst the Military have more opportunities of becoming acquainted with

prostitutes.

　In 1884 no Naval Seamen contracted constitutional disease in Hongkong, but among the Militar ere were 28 cases, which this year have been reduced to one half.

‧

Two members of the Police Force, both Europeans, contracted constitutional syphilis. In one o e cases. however, it was contracted in the execution of his duty. The constable, a man of very od character, while defending himself in a scuffle with a number of seamen, hit one man on the ath inflicting a slight wound on his own knuckle from contact with the man's teeth. The mar ack must have been suffering from syphilitic sores in the mouth, for the wound received by the atable developed into a chancre and ultimately secondary symptoms of a very severe form showed mselves. The Government, I am happy to say, has compensated the Constable for his injury as as lies in its power. Only one case of secondary Syphilis was received into the Civil Hospital among the Seamen in Port. The working of the Contagious Diseases Ordinance, both along the and women, may be considered as very satisfactory.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 26TH JUNE, 1886

The figures in the European Table vary but slightly from the figures in former years, with exception of cholera of which disease no case has been recorded until this year.

The figures in the Chinese table vary very considerably both as regards the different classe disease and the totals.

For Enteric fevers the number of deaths recorded in the Chinese table vary from the lowes 1873, 12, to the highest in 1882, 679; this year 1885 the number was 105.

In the European table this disease had the lowest death rate; in 1883 none, the highest 1882, this year 1885 the number is 7.

For simple continued fever the number of deaths recorded among the Chinese is lowest in 18 71, highest this year 1885, 755; the nearest to this year is 1879 when 733 deaths are recorded fr

this cause.

For Typhus fever the lowest record among the Chinese is in the five years 1874, 1876, 1880, 18 and 1885 none. The highest number is in 1881, 38.

For Diarrhoea the lowest record amongst the Chinese is in 1873, 195, the highest record 18 701, this year 1885 it is 561 deaths. To these diseases on the Chinese table are added this cholera 7 deaths and a number of cases registered as vomiting and purging in which death occum in most cases within 24 hours, 176 deaths.

For Diarrhoea the lowest record among the Europeans was in 1878, 1883, 1885 the same numbe 9, the highest record was in 1875, 18 deaths.

This year 1885, for the first time in the past thirteen years, deaths from cholera are record numbering 19.

From all these causes the lowest total among Europeans was in 1883, 19 deaths, the highest to was in 1882, 37 deaths. Amongst the Chinese the lowest total from all causes mentioned in the tables was in 1873, 319, the highest, total this year 1885, 1,534.

The greatest number of deaths recorded among the Chinese as from vomiting and purgi occurred in July, when 98 died; in August, 56 died, the few remaining cases occurred in Juz September, October and November.

The deaths from cholera among the Military were 2 at the end of June, 9 from the 1st to the l of July and one in October; the latter had been in Hospital three days for other reasons and on fourth morning was seized with cholera and died in six hours. All were Europeans.

The cause of the outbreak cannot be traced by the Military Authorities. There are some theor about it, but nothing definite is known.

Of the cases that were received into the Civil Hospital, the Europeans were destitute seamen also was the colored man. The Chinese also were destitutes with the exception of the Lokang. nearly all these cases the attack began with a preliminary diarrhoea some days before the choler symptoms begun.

A curious thing among the Military cases was that the greatest number of deaths from this ca Occurred among the temperance men. No deaths from this cause occurred among the Indian porti of the Military Force.

No deaths occurred among the European or Indian portions of the Police Force and only amongst the Chinese portion of the Force and this man, as I have already stated, was sent into Hospi immediately on his return from the mainland.

No cases occurred in the Gaol, though Chinese were brought in from all parts of the Colony many destitute European beachcombers also daily.

The cases that did occur registered as cholera or vomiting and purging were widely separa all over the Colony and among the boat population. No particular district was specially attacked. course all precautions were taken to disinfect all the places where such cases were recorded as har

died.

V.-TABLE shewing the ADMISSIONS and MORTALITY in the GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL during the Year 1885.

MVAUAUNG GUV" GAZETTE OF 26TH JUNE, 1986.*

There certainly was nothing epidemic in the character of the disease. All the cases occurred at the time the stone fruit comes into the Colony, none of it being grown here.. Mangoes, peaches, plums, laichees, &c., &c., all brought from a distance, all plucked in an unripe condition, a great deal of it sold in an unwholesome condition of unripeness or putrefaction. Then the small number of cases regis- tered compared with the whole community and those only of the poorest class is to be taken into account and the majority of the Military who died being temperance men. I think this out-break may be attributed to unwholesome fruit more than anything else, which in the case of the Military might have been rendered more innocuous if a small amount of stimulants had been taken,:

The largest number of deaths from diarrhea among the Chinese was in 1878, 701; there was not the slightest suspicion of cholera then. This year the diarrhoea, cholera, and vomiting and purging all included, amounted to 744. The population in 1878 was estimated at 139,144 and in 1885 at 175,995.

cases,

Nevertheless, epidemic or not, there is no doubt at all that many cases of diarrhoea have shewn as a very bad type, terminating in a discharge of choleraic character, and so it behoves us to take all the precautions we can to render the City of Victoria and the surrounding villages fitter to resist diseases of this character by better sanitation.

The totals on these Tables show that the Colony has been pretty steadily going from bad to worse as far as the Chinese are concerned.

Since 1873 any number of wells have been closed that, though in the heart of the town, had fair water in them that year. Now year after year more have to be closed showing that the bsoil is steadily being poisoned by sewage. It is very little use the Government laying down proper main drains if proper house drains are not connected with them, and house sewage is allowed to drain into the subsoil It is not surprising that it takes a good deal of trouble to make Chinese house owners under- stand this, but it is surprising the amount of trouble it takes European house owners to understand it, or if they do, to make them act upon the knowledge.

So we may annually expect worse and worse scares as each summer season approaches, till these matters are remedied. An immense deal of fuss has been made about Quarantine. What we have got to do is to look at home, and not prepare a hotbed for the reception of disease, as a gardener does for mushrooms.

Quarantine has been reduced to three days at this Port, the Military and Naval Authorities object- ing to the Home practice. For myself I consider that it is impossible for Quarantine to be of the Enforced on the very strictest slightest service to us, and it cannot in any case be properly enforced.

principles, it did no good for Mauritius, for an epidemic of cholera carried off a third of the Island. It has not done any good for the Philippines, and if these places, with a Quarantine of 21 days, isolated as they are by wide oceans from the cholera districts of the mainland, derive so little benefit from Quarantine, what good can we expect from it? The only thing we can do is to segreg te the patients brought in, and disinfect the vessels.

some-

Quarantine Hospital accommodation is being got ready on Stone Cutters' Island but there thing else that the Government must take into consideration. To be of any use, a Surgeon will have to be provided. Every Medical Officer on the Civil Medical Staff has his hands full and sometimes more than full during the summer or cholera season. Military Surgeons are not always to be had, and no provision is made in case any of the is staff sick. We are all of us in the same boat, and the case of the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital is not an exception to the general rule. As far as the Medical Staff is concerned, no man in the service can relieve one of us and we cannot relieve one another as formerly. The work now being done by each is fully one man's work and at times a little more.

I have the honour to be,

Enclosure 1.

Report from the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 21st March, 1

SIR, I have the honour to forward Statistical tables for 1885, with a report on the the Hospital during the past year.

2. I was absent for five months on sick leave, which will account for sundry deficietes report.

3. Surgeon J. R. DODD of the Army Medical Staff was in charge of the Hospital fro2 to 31st July, when he was ordered home. Dr. PIKE, A.M.S. then took charge, and ven went on leave, September 20th, Dr. THOMPSON, A.M.S. relieved him.

4. All three surgeons found that they required regular assistance in carrying othe H

duties, and Dr. MARQUES was good enough to share the work with them.

5. The Colony was fortunate in obtaining the services of the Army Surgeons.

6. It is evident, however, that the Colonial Medical Staff is insufficient, since outside

be sought whenever one of the Colonial Surgeons falls sick.

　7. It has happened before now that the Navy and Army were shorthanded when applied assistance, and no private practitioner was available to stop a gap in the Civil service, and the easily happen again.

8. The policy of trusting to chance for the maintenance of the Medical Staff is unsatisfact many ways, and it is by no means economical.

　9. It is well known in the Audit Office that the Hospital expenses are considerably ine when the Establishment is temporarily placed in charge of a medical officer unconnected service, and it is probable that the Colony would actually save money by placing a second officer permanently on the Hospital Staff.

　10. This is altogether apart from the question of the efficiency of the Hospital service, consideration whether the Establishment doing the maximum of good in the Colony, on minimum.

　11. At present its usefulness is very much restricted, because there is only one medical off do all the work, and with the best intentions one man cannot possibly accomplish all the work of a Colony like Hongkong.

　12. Governor HENNESSY understood this, and appointed a second surgeon to the Hospital in but in 1883 Governor BowEN removed him, and since then the patients have had to be contery what I could do for them unaided.

　13. If I happen to be out when an urgent case is brought to the Hospital, Dr. Ar MARQUES. is sent for, and if neither can be found, the sick man must take his chance.

　14. To give an idea of the position occupied in the Colony by the Civil Hospital I may the different classes of patients received.

1. Police: Europeans, Indians and Chinese: and police servants.

1a. Civil Servants and their families.

2. Officers and seamen of all nationalities from the Merchant shipping.

3. Officers and seamen from foreign Ships of War.

4. Employes, mostly European, of the Chinese Customs and Revenue services.

5. Private Residents in Hongkong, and visitors passing through.

6. Destitute sick of all nationalities.

Police cases: assaults, accidents and poisonings, &c.

8. Parturient women (Chinese.)

15. The Police Force consists of 614 men: 111 Europeans, 178 Indians, and 325 Chine

of them with wives and families): and there are 52 station servants.

16. The Crews of the Chinese Junks which entered the Port in 1884 numbered 290,84 those of other vessels, British and foreign 140,583.

　17. The Chinese passengers brought into the Port numbered 649,231: the European and col passengers are not recorded.

Civil population of the Colony amounts to 3,000 white, 1,000 coloured, and 150,000

　　　In fact the Establishment is an anachronism, and it is difficult to understand how, in a Colony, a Hospital can continue to exist in which the physicians and surgeons know nothing

uch an institution, partly established, maintained and controlled by the Government, must reat influence in the Colony, and be a considerable bar to the enlightenment of the Chinese

understand that a certain amount of vaccination is performed in the Tung Wa IIospital, and few persons, who would, otherwise die in the Street, find there a shelter in their last moments.

Beyond this all the regular Hospital work of the Colony falls upon the Civil Hospital.

In the beginreg of 1885 the Civil Hospital work was carried on in the old Lock Hospital, course of reconstruction, and in the female Lock Hospital, while the Medical officer in charge dged some distance off in Richmond Terrace.

　　　　8. The Hospital is still housed in the same two buildings, but a commodious four-roomed ace adjoining, has been built for, and is now occupied by the Superintendent.

9. The conversion of the old Lock Hospital into a portion of the New Civil Hospital is now

ted, and the reconstructed block contains:-

.48 patients.

Four general wards holding

Two small private rooms for women,

ground floor are the waiting room, Colonial Surgeon's Office, Superintendent's Office, Apothe quarters, Dispensary and drug store, Stewards' quarters, and store rooms, and ward masters' rs, and the basement also is used for stores.

　　　　This comprises about two thirds of the accommodation required by the Civil Hospital, and ill remain to be built wards for about 35 patients, quarters for the Chinese attendants, coolies,

umber, a laboratory for chemical manipulations, and a laundry.

31n the meantime the Female Lock Hospital is used for these purposes as far as possible, the

Epital Staff and patients being housed in some private residences hired for them.

　　　　　32. The rent of these private houses is $1,080 a year, which will be saved to the Treasury when Civil Hospital is completed and the Lock Hospital returned to its proper occupants.

33. The construction of the New Civil Hospital as far as it has proceeded is open to adverse ticism.

34. It has a number of the faults to be expected in old buildings adapted to Hospital use, but for

of its defects there is no excuse.

35. The latrines and lavatories are entirely new from roof to basement, and while it would have seasy to arrange them well, considerable ingenuity seems to have been expended in making

defective as possible.

3. There is moreover no hot water laid on anywhere, and when the top floor is occupied by 32 nts, the labour of carrying up hot water for baths and dressings is a very heavy addition to the reper duties of the nurses.

37. In these days when mechanical appliances for saving labour are carried to perfection, and their value in Hospitals is especially recognized, the almost entire absence of them in the le Hospital is remarkable.

38. It is to be hoped that the rest of the Civil Hospital will be built with more regard tothe ings of experience, and the recognized principles of hospital construction.

　41. The appointment of a second European on the nursing staff has been sanctione empo and I trust it will be made permanent.

　42. There will then be two Europeans to supervise the Chinese nurses, each taking welve duty out every twenty four.

　43. Hitherto the patients have been a good deal left to the sole care of Chinese atter WATSON could not always be on duty.

　44. The principal Chinese dresser combines with his duty at the Civil Hospital t dissecting dead bodies at the Public Mortuary, for Dr. MARQUES, who is in charge of M duties, This is a very objectionable combination, and one fraught with great danger to th men in Hospital. It is also inconvenient, as the man's presence is sometimes urgently requ Mortuary, when he cannot be spared in the Hospital, and the Coroner has to wait.

　45. Some trouble having been experienced latterly with the clerical work, the clerk last has been placed under the direction of the Steward, who will supervise his doings.

46. The changes in the Chinese nurses and coolies have not been more numerous than 47. I anticipate that when they are properly housed, with facilities for keeping them their clothing clean, changes will be less frequent.

48. The maximum number of beds in the Hospital is 98, including 9 for women. 49. The Hospital register contains 1,569 cases, of which 59 were not admitted." The latter comprising surgical injuries of different kinds and various degrees of severit treated in the surgery and dismissed. A number of others were attended to of whom no re kept.

8. The disproportion in the number of those alleged to have conveyed infection and in found actually to be diseased, is again very striking (as shown in Table I), and well worthy of consider 9. Excluding, as in the previous report, all the less serious cases such as gonorrhoea, under. is included also simple urethritis, which after all cannot be taken as a sure criterion of the a of disease existing in a place, as it is often caused more by men's own fault, and reckoning on sores and syphilis, as is done in Table II, we arrive at this result of the 37 women accused, found to be diseased.

　10. It is obvious that the majority of the men did not keep company with those who were medical inspection.

　11. An instance corroborating this assertion occurred last August to a sailor from one Majesty's Ships, who was infected in a registered brothel, but, on investigation, it was provid got the disease from a woman who was a stranger there, and had no right to frequent he For this reason, the mistress of the brothel was prosecuted and punished by a fine.

　12. The amount of venereal disease in a Colony like Hongkong with a large but variable population, composed of people from different parts of the world, must necessarily vary.

13. I have heard of men, who although they were diseased, did not hesitate to frequent b 14. It would conduce to the better preservation of the public health, if it were widely known Ordinance 10 of 1867, a heavy penalty may be inflicted by the Magistrate on men who behave a disgraceful manner.

15. The Officers of Her Majesty's Navy, of the French and, I believe, of all other foreign war, have been unremitting in helping to check the spread of disease. Their crews are re inspected by the Surgeons, previously to leave being granted to them to come on shore.

16. I regret that their praise-worthy efforts were not fully rewi: led by having mone

Sailors diseased.

17. I do not see why, with the assistance of the various authorities, and with hygienic understood and practised by the women, disease should not be reduced to a mere fraction 18. Some of the women presented themselves at the hospital of their own free will they perceived they were infected.

　　　　　　　20. As the maladies in the two sexes are not invariably identical, it follows that, in view of nsuring uniformity in the returns, it is necessary to call things by their wrong names.

In the old form, no distinction is drawn between hunterian chancre, chancroid, ulceration and brasion of the os uteri. All these cases were put down as "primary syphilis"; and leucorrhoea nvariably as gonorrhea. If a woman happens to be suffering from leucorrhoea and abrasion of the is uter, this is classified as gonorrhoea and primary syphilis combined.

In the face of all these shortcomings, and in consequence of the alterations in the examination Jays, I proposed a new form of return (form D) which would show in a few columns the daily and monthly number of the women examined, and those that are detained or discharged from the hospital, ind the nature of their disease.

　　　　　Two other similar returns (G. & F.) were proposed for the women from unregistered brothels, d for those examined weekly at Wantsai.

I thought that it would be equally advantageous to have a special return (form E) for recording the complaints against the registered women.

22. As we are not authorized to dispense altogether with the old style of classification, the plumns of the forms A and C have been filled up accordingly by the Apothecary of this hospital, I DE SOUZA, to whom this task has always been entrusted.

The old one, C, as you are aware, is almost invariably misleading.

24. From the Registrar General's Department 107 women charged with carrying on clandestine. prostitution were sent here for examination.

This testifies to the continued activity on the part of the Inspectors. Disease in its various stages and complications was detected in 44 of those women, and on this account they had generally to be kept longer in the hospital than the other patients.

　　　　　　　25. Notwithstanding that they were fed and treated gratis, they did not appear to be thankful for it. One of them was induced by a male friend, who made signs to her from outside, to run away,

he was on the point of being cured. Many of them, on being discharged, d continue pursuing their old and dangerous career, until convicted again.

28 Till lately, European patients were absolutely free from any charge whatever; but this maly has been done away with. They and the Japanese will now have to pay 25 cents daily, and me rate for the Chinese has been raised from 10 to 12 cents.

29 Medicines are also dispensed to them for various other ailments, when applied for. So that the Government, to curtail the expenses incurred in enforcing the observance of this branch of Sanitary Science, were to make every registered woman pay one dollar monthly, as is done in Singa- pore, instead of charging four dollars for each house, no objection, I think, is to be apprehended from the

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN.

　I have thought it right to call you together on this the eve of the Opening of the Exhibition by Her Majesty the Queen, in order that I may report to you the various steps that have been taken in th preparations for this Exhibition since the last time I had the honour of addressing you.

　I would, in the first place, wish to say a few words with regard to the constitution of the Roya Commission. You are doubtless aware that Her Majesty, in requesting you to act on a Royal Com mission defined your duties to be for the purpose of advising upon the best mode by which the Pro ducts of Industry, Agriculture and the Fine Arts of Her Majesty's Colonial and Indian Dominic might be procured and sent to this Exhibition.

　The appointment of this Commission was, I understand, framed upon the precedent of the Exhi bition of 1851, and following the example of that, Exhibition, it was thought desirable that a Charte should be applied for which should make the Royal Commission a body corporate, and which shoul give it power to organise and carry on such an Exhibition. This Charter was granted on the 15t September, 1885.

　You will perhaps remember that, in my last address, I informed you of the initiative action which I, as your Executive President, had taken, and which you were kind enough then to confirm ir order that the proposals for holding a Colonial and Indian Exhibition should be properly brought to the notice of the Governments of India and of the various Colonies.

　I then stated that from the answers which had been received from the Colonies and from India it was clear that this Exhibition would receive the hearty co-operation of all concerned.

　I need only ask you to make an inspection of the various sections of the Exhibition to-day before leaving the buildings for you to at once realise how cordially the Governments of India and of the various Colonies have acceded to the invitation which I, as your President, forwarded to them ir November, 1884, and I am sure that you will join with me in requesting the Executive Commissioners to take an early opportunity of conveying to their Governments the sincere thanks of the Royal Commission for having so thoroughly realised our views as to the form that this Exhibition shoul take.

To these gentlemen themselves are also due our own warmest acknowledgments.

　I feel also convinced that you will consider it a pleasing duty to record the deep obligation w are under to His Excellency the Viceroy and the Supreme Government of India for the admirabl organisation which, under the direction of Mr. Buck, has been displayed by the Revenue and Agricul- tural Department, and by the officers who have assisted it.

　I further propose that we should request the Viceroy to express our acknowledgments to their Highnesses the Princes of India, who have, by their liberal contributions, so materially added to the beauty and interest of the Indian section.

With regard to the administration of the Royal Commission, I may state that the Finance Com mittee the appointment of which you confirmed at the last meeting is most carefully discharging the duties which you then confided to it.

　I have to ask you to confirm the appointment of the following gentlemen, who were good enough to accept my invitation to be added to it-

The Right Hon. Sir LYON PLAYFAIR,

The Hon. Sir ASHLEY EDEN,

The Right Hon, Sir HENRY THURSTAN HOLLAND,

Mr. E. W. HAMILTON,

Mr. A. W. GADESDEN.

　It is with much pleasure that I am able to report that the Guarantee Fund, which at the time the last meeting amounted to ￡128,600, has now reached a total of ￡218,430.

Of this amount the Corporation of the City of London has voted ￡10,000, and among the con butors are many of the great City Companies.

I am sure you will agree with me in cordially thanking these Corporations, and the gentlemen whose liberality this very satisfactory result is due. They may rest assured that no endeavour will be spared to prevent the necessity of having recourse to the contributions which they have so generously placed at our disposal.

I have to ask you to confirm the appointment of a Committee which I have requested to act for purpose of superintending the lighting by electricity of the buildings and grounds of the Exhibitior

I trust that the Fund which has been inaugurated by them for the above purpose may before long reach a handsome amount, and feel assured that no efforts will be spared throughout the country to render the visit of our kinsmen a pleasant one.

Acting on the precedent of the organisation of the Great Exhibition of 1851, I, some time since, caused a letter to be addressed to all the Mayors and Local Boards, of the United Kingdom, suggesting >them the advisability of bringing before the working classes of their various districts the benefits ould ensue from the formation of Clubs by subscribing weekly, to which a sufficient sum of would be laid by to enable the members to visit the Exhibition.

am happy to state that this suggestion has been responded to in many places, and I trust that a number of the working classes, who would otherwise have found it impossible to come here, will the Exhibition, and will benefit by the vast amount of instruction to be derived therefrom.

　　　　　I am very sensible of the facilities which the Railway Companies have afforded to me in this ter; without the valuable assistance which they have extended, it would have been impossible to e obtained so much success in the formation of these Clubs: I must take this opportunity of re- sting you also to join with me in acknowledging the help which the Railway Companies have pro- ed to the Royal Commission for conveying all classes of visitors to the Exhibition.

I have appointed a Committee, consisting largely of Executive Commissioners, for organising a eries of Conferences and Lectures during the summer on subjects cognate to the Exhibition, and am appy to state that I have been promised the aid of the Councils of the Society of Arts and the Royal 'olonial Institute in this matter.

　　　　　　I have gratefully accepted an offer made by the Lords of the Committee on Education to give cilities to visitors to the Exhibition for viewing the India Museum.

　　　　　　　　I have sanctioned arrangements by which the Royal Albert Hall forms an integral part of the Exhibition, and by which the National Fish Culture Association maintains the Aquarium, which has always formed a very popular attraction at previous Exhibitions; facilities have also been given to the Royal Horticultural Society for the holding of their Flower and Fruit Shows in the Conservatory of the Exhibition.

I am desirous of expressing my thanks to Her Majesty's Board of Customs for having so greatly facilitated the transmission of goods to the Exhibition.

In conclusion, I feel sure that you will join with me in the expression of a desire to record our deep sense of the gracious act which Her Majesty the Queen has consented to perform to-morrow.

672.9

THE HONGKONG government gaZETTE, 17TH JULY, 1886.

　　I trust that I shall have the pleasure of meeting you to-morrow morning at half-past eleven o'clock at the Principal Entrance, where we shall await the arrival of the Queen.

　　The DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE: Your Royal Highnesses, my Lords, and Gentlemen, I have much pleasure ip moving the following resolution:

　　"That this meeting of the Royal Commission for the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, having "heard the address of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Executive President, in which His "Royal Highness informs the Royal Commission of the preparations he has caused to be made since "the last meeting for the holding of this Exhibition, fully approve of these preparations, and confirm "the appointment of the gentlemen referred to by His Royal Highness to act on the Finance, Reception, "and Conference Committees.

　　"The Royal Commission desire to express their cordial thanks to the Corporation of the City of "London, and to the City Companies, Firms, and individuals who have since the last meeting con "tributed to the Guarantee Fund; and in conclusion the Royal Commission wish to record their "cordial thanks to His Royal Highness for the able and energetic manner in which he has acted on "their behalf as Executive President."

　　I am sure you will adopt this resolution most cordially. After the remarks of His Royal High- ness the Prince of Wales it is unnecessary for me to say much as to the objects of the Exhibition, but there is one point with which the Prince of Wales could not deal with that freedom which I

can, and that is the great trouble and pains which His Royal Highness has given to this Exhibition. It is not the first time that His Royal Highness has acted as President in undertakings of this nature, and it is very difficult for any individual to praise him in his presence without appearing, fulsome, but it is not fulsome to, say that he has always devoted his whole energies to bringing everything to a successful issue with which he is connected.

　　I could see yesterday the results of the extraordinary ability with which those under him have carried out his wishes.

　　This is an Exhibition entirely confined to Her Majesty's Colonial and Indian Dominions, and it stands absolutely alone in that respect. It is admirably adapted to the interests of a great country, in that it brings together and shows in one common centre all the advantages which India and the Colonies possess in their respective spheres. I think the way in which these advantages will be brought to notice in this Exhibition will tend to that unanimity and good feeling which happily exist among all branches of Her Majesty's subjects, and will consolidate that great Empire to which we are all to belong and hope to see extended in a peaceful manner for many generations.

proud

I am sure you will cordially and spontaneously vote our thanks to His Royal Highness for the 'trouble he has taken, and congratulate him on the success he has been able to produce.

　　LORD GRANVILLE: The illustrious Duke who has just sat down has undertaken a task which he has performed most admirably. I have much pleasure in seconding the resolution. After the report we have heard, which shows such an immense deal of comprehensive work done, I think it is right to call attention to the fact that the pivot on which it has all turned has been the exertions of His Royal Highness, and to how exactly in this case he has followed the example of his illustrious father in not being merely an honorary President, but in laying down the general principles and in going into every possible detail likely to insure the success of the Exhibition. We are desired to thank the various bodies who have assisted, but we must remember that a great deal of their good work has been excited by the genial influence of His Royal Highness himself. I do not wish to go into many parts subject, but one point is connected with my official position at this moment, and that is the bene effect which this Exhibition is likely to exert on the Colonial Possessions of Her Majesty. It wi areat disappointment indeed if it does not contribute to the interchange of commodities between two countries. I believe the British public is not aware of the enormous resources of the Colonies & British Empire generally, and it is clear that if so many distinguished Colonial men and women co to this country at this time, it will increase not only our knowledge, but the personal good feelir which now exists. I heartily concur with the noble Duke in asking you to agree to the Resolution has so well moved.

The PRINCE OF WALES: Before the meeting disperses, I wish to return you my sincere than: for the most kind and flattering manner in which my illustrious relative has proposed this vote ot thanks, and to the noble Lord who has so ably seconded the same. I can assure you that the com- pliments you have been kind enough to pay me have been really quite undeserved. I need hardly say that I certainly take the deepest interest in the success of this Exhibition, but really all the arrange- ments and the trouble that has been taken are owing to Sir Philip Cunliffe-Owen and his two able assistants, Mr. Edward Cunliffe-Owen and Mr. J. R. Royle. I can only say that those who have not yet seen the Exhibition will be satisfied with what they see if they take the present opportunity of going round the Courts, and they will be struck with the wonderful resources of the Empire. No pains and no expenses have been spared by the Governors and Colonial Commissions, and by the Executive Commissioners here, to make each of their departments a success, and there has been a peaceful rivalry between them the one to excel the other. I hope that this Exhibition will be not only entertaining to the eye, and that it will be of material benefit to our own countrymen, but that it will also tend to produce a still greater feeling of brotherly love between ourselves and the rest of Hers Majesty's subjects. I can only add that I trust that the sun may favor us to-morrow as it has done to-day, and that we may have "Queen's weather" in every sense of the word.

The meeting then terminated.

FREDERICK STEWwart,

‧

Acting Colonial Secretary.

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 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.

All Signals made by vessels in the Ofling will be repeated.

　　　When Signalling to Men-of-war in the Harbour or in the Offing, a white Ensign will be hoisted at the Flagstaff, and at the Mast Head of the Man-of-war.

　　　When a Steamner, or the smoke of a Steamer, is sighted, the Compass Bearing at the Yard Arm, and Distimee of at the Mast Head, will be hoisted. If, when the vessel is made out, she is not a stail Steamer, the Vessel's Distinguishing Flag will be substituted for the Compass Signal, and it will be kept flying until the Ship anchors. The Distance Signal will be kept up fifteen minutes after the Steamer is made out.

If the Steamer is a regular Mail Steamer a Gun will be fired, and a Ball over the English, French, Ameriena; or German Ensign, with the Distance off at that time, will be shown at the last Head. The compass Signal and Symbol will be hauled down. The Ball and Ensign will be kept up until the vessel anchors. The Distance Signal will be kept flying for half-an-hour, and changed at cach sugressive half hour to show the Distance off at those times. When the vessel is between Green Island and the North Point of Hong Kong the Distance Signal will be hauled down, and the Code Signal will be hoisted and kept up until the vessel is at her moorings. If the Mail Steamer is not in the Harbour when it is too dark to distinguish flags, a red light will be exhibited at the West Yard Arm, or

gresa light at the East Yard Arm until she anchors.

　　　Mirer Steamers will not be signalled. The approach of other Steamers from Macao or Canton will came known by showing the National or House Flag and Symbol at Yard Arm.

La Flag showing that an Officer of high rank is on board an incoming vessel, a similar Fag will

be shown above the Ball, or the Flag alone will be hoisted at the Mast Head.

The approach of Men-of-war and Sailing Vessels will be notified by their proper Symbols and National Colours, or House Flags, at the Quarter of the Yard, or at the Yard Arm.

Note.-The Distances of vessels will be estimated from the Peak, and will be made by means of Numerals which are attached to the letters in the table of Flags.

The following Notice from the Director of the Observatory is re-published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 24th April, 1886.

NOTICE.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting 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 Chia Coast Meteorological Register issued daily from here.

Meteorological signals do not imply that a typhoon is approaching the Colony. Local rm-warnings are given by firing the gun placed at the foot of the mast.

It will be fired

round, whenever a strong gale of wind is expected here. It will be fired two rounds, henever 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.

logical 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.

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.

　Before doing so, however, I have been instructed to place on record the following points. on whic we are also agreed, but which it has not been thought necessary to insert in the body of the instrumen which I propose to sign with your Excellency.

　The first point refers to wines in bottle, which it is understood may be excluded at the option c Her Majesty's Government, from the stipulations of Article II of the Convention.

　The second point refers to a possible future division of the lower half of the alcoholic scale. It) understood that nothing in the Convention shall preclude Her Majesty's Government from dividing, at some future time it shall be found desirable to do so, the present lower half of the alcoholic scale a & point not above 15 degrees, and treating wines below that point differently from wines above it.

　It is further agreed that it shall be open to any British Colony to withdraw from the present Cor vention on notice to this effect being given by Her Majesty's Minister at Madrid to the Spanish Minist for Foreign Affairs within a year after the date of its signature.

　The agreement on the part of the Government of Her Majesty the Queen-Regent of Spain on th above points shall be deemed to be recorded by the reply which I have the honour to solicit you 1xcellency to be so good as address to me in a note on the subject.

Excellency,

Ministry of State; the Palace, April 26, 1886.

　IN acknowledging the receipt of your note of to-day, I have the honour to state that I agree with its contents, as, also, with the draft of Convention which it incloses.

　The Convention and the note faithfully represent the agreement to which we have happily come being the result of the discussion which was entered into since your arrival at this Court, with a vie to facilitate the commercial relations between Great Britain and Spain.

　It is my duty to inform your Excellency that the Spanish Government agree with the three point contained in your note, and consider that Her Britannic Majesty's Government are authorized t exclude from the reduction which is to be made in the alcoholic scale the wines which arrive in bottle: into the United Kingdom.

　They agree, also, that the Convention which we are about to sign will not hinder Her Britanni Majesty's Government from dividing into two parts the lower half of the alcoholic scale, that is to say that part which terminates at 30 degrees, in such a way that the wines below 15 degrees may b treated differently from those above it.

　With regard to Her Britannic Majesty's Colonies, it is understood that if, within a year after th date of this Convention, and reckoned from the day on which it is signed, any of the said Colonies declare their intention to withdraw from the present Convention, the said Colony will be excluded from the stipulations contained therein.

I trust that this reply will meet the wishes which we expressed in the concluding portion of ur Excellency's note, and that, therefore, we may sign the Convention, a translation of which I alose that you may examine it and compare it with the English text.

In concluding my reply to the note which your Excellency transmitted to me to-day, and con- dering as satisfactorily terminated for both countries the negotiations which have occupied your Excellency since the commencement of your mission, I fulfil a pleasing duty in conveying to your Excellency the expression of my most sincere gratitude for the frankness and loyalty with which you ave conducted these negotiations, and for the sincere interest with which, acting within the instruc- ons you had received from your Government, you have treated the representations which, in the ame of Spain, I have had the honour to make to you, thanks to which the commercial relations etween Spain and England will henceforth rest on a solid and just basis, thus strengthening, in a rm and lasting manner, the friendship which from of old exists between the two nations.

M. le Ministre,

Madrid, May 9, 1886.

　　　　　　　　I HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency that on the 26th ultimo I transmitted to the Earl of Rosebery a copy of the Convention which we had signed in duplicate on that day, for facili-

the commercial relations between Great Britain and Spain.

吧

Her Majesty's Government had not previously seen the whole of the Spanish rendering of the

glish text of that Convention, and now that they have done so they have called my attention to one.

ase in it which occurs at the end of Article II. The English text runs as follows:--

"They will, in addition, apply to Parliament for the necessary authority to provide that

the limit of the lower half of the alcoholic scale shall extend up to, but not exceed, 30 degrees of proof spirit.'

The Spanish translation is as follows:-

　　　　"Pedira ademas al Parlamento la autorizacion necesaria para extender el limite inferior de la escala alcoholica de los vinos desde los 26 a los 30 grados inclusive.

　　　　　　　　Her Majesty's Government consider that the Spanish translation with regard to the portion of the Convention above quoted is not a correct version of the English, and I have been instructed by the Eart of Rosebery to inquire of your Excellency whether the Spanish Government understand the Spanish text to convey precisely the same meaning as the English expression, "shall extend up to but not exceed 30 degrees."

I shall feel obliged to your Excellency if you would kindly inform me whether that is so, and if you would be so good as to record the fact, and assure me that the Spanish words used in translating the English text do not cover the fractions of a degree between 30 and 31 degrees of the alcoholic scale.

I have, &c.

(Signed)

FRANCIS CLARE FORD.

Senor Moret to Sir Clare Ford,

Excellency,

Ministry of State, the Palace, May 10, 1886.

　　　　　　　　I HAVE the honour to state to your Excellency, in reply to your note of yesterday, that there is no difference whatever between the sense of the Spanish translation of the last paragraph of the IInd Article of the Convention of the 26th April and the English text.

The literal translation of the words which your Excellency mentions would be this:-

Que el limite inferior de la escala alcoholica se extienda hasta, pero sin exceder, los 30 grados de fuerza alcoholica."

　　　　　　　　Considering that the literal rendering of those words did not, in my judgment, read well in Spanish, I had the honour to propose to your Excellency the present translation, which is as follows:

　　　　　　　　"El limite inferior de la escala alcoholica de los vinos desde los 26 hasta los 30 grados inclusive," which words do not appear to your Excellency to clearly convey the idea. In order, therefore, to fully ispel the doubts which appear to have arisen in the British Chancery, it is enough for me to ratify the meaning of the words above referred to, and I repeat that they have the same as those of the British text, and that the Spanish Government consider that the alcoholic scale mentioned in the IInd Article will extend to but is not to exceed 30 degrees.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 314.

　　　　　　　The following report from the Director of the Observatory, on One Year's Observations of Thermometers exposed in Stevenson's screen, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th August, 1886.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

ON ONE YEAR'S OBSERVATIONS OF THERMOMETERS EXPOSED IN

STEVENSON'S SCREEN.

　　　　　　　It is known from papers read before the Royal Meteorological Society and from other sources, that minor alterations in the dimensions or form of Stevenson's screen have no important influence on the readings of the thermometers, although even in England the observations made in screens can scarcely be taken as perfectly accurate. But at any rate the mean corrections must be very much smaller there than in the torrid zone, and may perhaps amount to next to nothing where the screen is placed in a well exposed situation. But as the thermographic thermometers are exposed in screens fixed on the walls of the Observatories, the thermograms must at times require larger corrections, particularly in places, where the thermograph is not fixed in a position so favourable as e.g. at Kew. These circumstances. could be investigated by forming thermometric windroses, for whenever the screen is sheltered by the building the correction must increase, even when the thermograph is placed in a small detached hut.

　　　　　　　A Stevenson's screen was erected here at the end of. 1883, as explained in Observations and Resear-· ches made in 1884, in a well exposed situation on the Observatory hill. It is sheltered by buildings or trees at a distance between NE and NW (from which quarter the wind seldom blows) and the view is unobstructed in any other quarter. The readings have been made at the same time as the accurate air temperatures were determined by aid of the rotating thermometer and monthly mean corrections have been obtained by comparison with the data published in the Monthly Weather Reports. These correc- tions may be applied to the observations made in wooden screens lately erected at the lighthouses, etc. in this neighbourhood.

The maximum temperature registered in Stevenson's screen is too high, especially during the months when the sky is generally clear. During the months of November and December the correction was further increased here owing to the screen being slightly sheltered from northerly winds. The correction to the temperature read off at 10 a. is larger than at 4 p. owing to the greater radiation which heats the screen, the highest black bulb temperature generally occurring at or shortly before noon. The minimum temperature is too low owing to the great radiating power of the white lead with which The tempera- it is painted, which also is the cause of the heavy dew so frequently found on the screen. ture at 10 p. is too low for the same reason.

The error of the temperatures registered during the day is however much greater than during the night, owing to the convection currents of heated air from the ground. Puffs or lulls in the wind cause the air particles, which are longer or shorter times in contact with heated objects (the ground, The vibrations seen on the the louvres of the screeen, etc.), to assume different temperatures.

thermograms during the day time are thus produced, though they depend also to some extent upon clouds, that diminish the radiation while passing over. There is always some uncertainty attached to the extreme temperatures, as the air is not quite uniformly hot, more especially is the maximum slightly uncertain. On a hot day objects are seen at any rate in a telescope somewhat unsteady through strata of air of different temperatures.

　　　　　　　The thermometers used were those recommended by the Meteorological Office. Their bulbs are too small and thermometers with long cylindrical bulbs are more sensitive.

　　　　　　　The absolute and relative humidity were obtained by aid of Blanford's tables, which are perhaps not strictly applicable as he fanned his thermometers, and it is known that anything that causes the layer of air attached to the damp bulb to be renewed, lowers the damp bulb temperature. In these observations the bulb was wetted by aid of a bottle of water permanently fixed beside the thermometer. If the bulb is wetted before every observation, it falls lower.

766 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVTM GAZETTE OF 14TH AUG., 1896.

　That the corrections come out so small as those exhibited below, must be attributed to the cumstance, that the screen was well placed. At 10 p. the correction is greater than during the d owing to the minimum of windforce generally occurring about that hour. The corrections are greate when the radiation is great and the humidity low.

　Observations sufficient to construct tables for calculating the humidity of the air from observations made with the rotating thermometer were contemplated by me last year, but were not carried out, want of funds. They will however now be shortly commenced, sufficient funds having been placed at my disposal for this purpose.

　Corrections to Temperatures observed in Stevenson's Screen in Hongkong, and reduction to mean of 24 hourly readings of true temperature.

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

This Standard Work on the Chinese Languagel constructed on the basis of Kanghi'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.
