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 Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 2nd instant, were read and confirmed. MESSAGE-Reade following Message from His Excellency the Governor :-

G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

The Governor, in accordance with the intimation made to the Legislative Council last year, has had under consideration the Report of the Commission which was appointed to enquire respecting the interpretation in the Courts and other Government Departments; and as the result of further enquiries and much discussion of the subject, he is now prepared with definite recommendations, which, if adopted, will he hopes promote a more general knowledge of Chinese in the Public Service and bring about a substantial improvement in its interpreting capacity.'

It should however be mentioned in the first instance that the existing state of things. proved on investigation to be scarcely as defective as might be supposed from the report of the Commission. The Judges and Magistrates (from whom no information was sought or obtained) did not altogether confirm the view taken by the Commissioners in paragraph 7 of their report, and have furnished evidence showing that in respect of Hakka, the most important of the dialects specifically mentioned, the Colony is fairly well served. And even as regards the dialects of Swatow and Amoy the Governor, as the result of his enquiries, is not disposed to think that there is so wide a gap between present deficiency and what is practically obtainable as a superficial consideration of the subject is apt to indicate.

It is to be borne in mind that ideal perfection in interpretation is quite impracticable of attainment even when the two languages are far more akin than English and any dialect of Chinese. In the quick translation of any one language into any other the success of cross- examination, is, and must be, frequently affected by the failure to distinguish delicate shades

of meaning; and in view of the fact that there are used by witnesses here a great number dialects of a language so utterly unlike English as is that of China, it is quite hopeless to expect the attainment of a condition under which the Courts would be altogether free of difficulty and embarrassment in respect of interpretation.

Of the Hakka dialect alone which is mentioned in the report as one single dialect there are, the Governor is informed, several varieties, each sufficiently distinct from the rest to render a good interpreter of any one very possibly a bad interpreter of any other: and it is obvious that under such circumstances to secure for the Courts the command of satisfactory interpretation in all cases is a work of no ordinary difficulty, which at the best can only be accomplished approximately.

It would be evidently inexpedient to attempt the provision of all the necessary capacity and qualifications in a class of officers employed on no other duty. For that would not only involve the very great expense of a large Department of Interpreters and of students (many of whom would probably prove ineligible for office after large sums had been spent on their training) but it would mean a body of officers, for the most part required for service only very occasionally, and whose idleness,, as regards public work, in the intervals would be perhaps injurious to themselves, and certainly to the Government service generally.

For this reason it seems desirable to depend on regular interpreters only in respect of the two or three dialects in most common use; and as regards the less common dialects or varieties of dialects to provide the requisite capacity among other Public Officers whose services as interpreters would be called for only when actually required.

Partly with this object therefore, and also to promote improvement in all interpretation, as well as to obtain greater efficiency, through improved knowledge of Chinese, in other departments than the Judicial, the Governor has drafted certain regulations (I) which are now laid on the table and offerred for consideration, as appearing likely to secure what is required within reasonable limits of expense, and under other conditions least open to objection. With further view to the same objects, the Governor has deemed as well worthy of the test of experiment the suggestion of the Commissioners as to the encouragement of the acquisition of Chinese among the younger members of the non-Chinese, community; and some proposals for the purpose in the form of regulations (II) are also offered for consideration.

The case of the Police requires somewhat different treatment. Their tenure of office for a short fixed period renders unsuitable a reward in the shape of a lump sum; and it is moreover expedient in their case that a somewhat lower standard of knowledge of Chinese than is required from other Public Servants should not go without reward. For these and other reasons, after consultation with the Captain Superintendent and the Board of Examiners, the Governor has deemed it well to retain the principle of the existing system of rewards for acquisition of Chinese, increasing however the sums paid per mensem for the lower standards of knowledge, and adding a third standard, the attainment of which will carry a reward quite equal to that offered to the rest of the service. In another paper (III) now laid on the table will be found the scale of premiums which it is proposed to offer.

Though these various regulations which are suggested for adoption will probably be found to require amendment after experience has been gained of their working, the Governor hopes that they will at least bring about substantial improvement he condition of things which was the subject of the Commissioners' enquiry, and will thus tend to the greater efficiency of the Public Service.

By Command,

Government House, Hongkong, 10th January, 1889.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

In C.S.O. 1407

Proposed Regulations for Public Officers, other than Members of the Police Force, for the encouragement of proficiency in the Chinese language.

Public Officers who pass an examination, to the satisfaction of the Examiners, in the Chinese language, of the Cantonese or Hakka dialect, or any other dialect to be approved by the Governor, will receive an allowance according to the following scale :-

For colloquial and written Chinese, For colloquial only,

Officers in receipt of salaries under $200 per month.

$400 300

Officers with salaries over $200 a month.

$600

450

This regulation to apply only in respect of dialects which Officers have hitherto not professed to understand, or in which they have hitherto not been employed to interpret.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH JANUARY, 1889.

II.

The allowance will be granted to Cadets. who acquire proficiency in other dialects than those in which they have passed.

III.

On receipt of an allowance under these regulations, an Officer will be required to give security for the re-payment of the whole sum, or such proportion of it as may be fixed by the Governor, in the event of the Officer leaving the service of the Colony within three years from the time of receipt.

IV.

The allowance for a Chinese Teacher will be continued to Officers, who have passed their Examinations, for a period not exceeding three years, on their satisfying the Board of Examiners at the end of each year, that they are profiting by the teaching.

II.

In C.S.O. 1407

Proposal for the encouragement of the acquisition of the Chinese language among residents of the Colony, with a view to secure efficient interpretation in the Courts of Justice and Public Offices.

The Governor to appoint, from residents in the Colony under 16

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　years of age, who have shown an aptitude for acquiring the Chinese language, and who have distinguished themselves in the Examination for the Colonial scholarship or other similar competition three student Interpreters, each to be attached to such department of the Public Service as to the Governor may seem fit.

II.

The salary of the student Interpreters will be 40 Dollars a month, payable however subject to a certificate of the Examiners after every period of six months, to the effect that satisfactory progress is being made in knowledge of the Chinese language, and in the facility of interpreting it into English and vice versa.

III.

Any student Interpreter who at the end of three years from his appointment as such shall pass asatisfactory examination in the Chinese language, and whose conduct in other respects shall have earned approval, will be appointed to an office with a salary of not less than 100 Dollars a month if, or as soon as, he is of the age of 18 years.

IV.

Every student Interpreter on his appointment shall furnish security for the repayment of a sum not exceeding half of the whole sum received by him by way of salary, in the event of his leaving the service of the Colony before the expiration of 6 years from the time of his appointment.

III.

In C.S.O. 1407

Proposed Regulations for Members of the Police Force for the encouragement of proficiency in the Chinese language.

Instead of the four certificates hitherto granted, two certificates shall be granted in ordinary cases, with a third one to be awarded only in cases of exceptional knowledge.

II.

Instead of the allowances of $2.50 and $1 a month now given to European and Indian Constables respectively who hold a certificate from the Board of Examiners, the following scale of remuneration shall be adopted, viz. :-

European Constables,

Indian Constables,......

1st Certificate. $2.50 1.00

2nd Certificate.

$5.00

3.00

3rd Certificate. $10.00

5.00

such remuneration to be drawn only so long as the receiver remains in the Police Force.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH JANUARY, 1889.

III.

For the first certificate, a knowledge of colloquial shall be required.

For the second certificate, a higher standard of colloquial will be necessary, as well as acquaintance with a book in Colloquial to be approved of by the Board: and in the case of the third certificate an acquaintance with the written Chinese character will be necessary, as well as an advanced knowledge of Colloquial.

IV.

In no case shall the third certificate be granted without the sanction of His Excellency the Governor, upon the recommendation of the Board.

Members of the Police Force already holding certificates under the old scheme, shall be allowed to continue drawing their present allowances, but will be at liberty to offer themselves for examination for the second and third certificates under the new scheme, and shall be entitled, on passing, to the higher allowances.

20. For the purposes of this Ordinance, the forms of Emigration Officer's certificate and of the master's bond con- tained in the schedules B and C hereto shall be substituted for the forms respectively contained in schedules B and C, to "The Chinese Passengers Act, 1855," annexed.

Any officer so authorized to seize, search and detain any ship under section 80 may, for the purpose of enforcing such seizure, search and detention, call to his aid any constable or officers of Police, and may apply for assistance to any officer of Her Majesty's Army or Navy, or Marines, or to the Harbour Master, or any officer having authority by law to make seizures of ships, and may put any persons on board such ship to take charge of the same, and to enforce the provisions of section 80, and any such officer so authorized as aforesaid, may use force, if necessary, for the purpose of enforcing such seizure, search and detention, and if any person is killed, maimed, or hurt by reason of his resisting such officer in the execution of his duties, or any person acting under his orders, or at his request, such officer so seizing, searching and detaining the ship, or other person, shall be freely and fully indemnified as well against the Queen's Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, as against all persons so killed, maimed, or hurt.

82. The owner of the ship so seized and detained or his agent, may apply by petition to the Supreme Court for its release.

83. The Crown Solicitor shall, upon the seizure of any ship as aforesaid, cite the owners or their agents in the Colony by a notice which may be in the form contained in schedule hereto, to appear before the Supreme Court to show cause why the said ship should not be condemned and forfeited to the crown for breach of the provisions of sections 74 and 75, and in case there shall be no owner of the said ship in the Colony, nor any agent of such owner, the said notice shall be published twice in the Gazette, and such publication shall be equivalent to personal service of the citation.

84. On the day appointed for the hearing of any petition for the release of the ship, or for the appearance of the owners or their agents in the Colony in obedience to a citation to show cause why the same should not be forfeited, the Court shall proceed to enquire into the matter and to make such orders as may be necessary to put the matter of the seizure and detention of the ship in course of trial between the owner and the Crown.

85. The Court may, if it shall think fit, direct a written statement or answer or any additional pleading to be filed, and may, in its discretion, receive evidence orally or by affidavit, or partly orally and partly by affidavit, and may determine all questions of fact as well as of law, or may, of its own motion, or on the application of either party, direct a jury to be empanelled for the determination of any question of fact, may frame issues of law and of fact, and generally may exercise the same powers and authorities as on the trial of any suit, cause, or matter within its ordinary jurisdiction.

86. The Court may also, during or before the said pro- ceedings, grant warrants for the entering and searching of any ship or tenement within the jurisdiction, and the seizure of papers or documents which may be found therein respectively, or may summon any person to appear before the Court, and to produce any papers and documents and may examine such persons on oath touching the subject matter of the inquiry.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH JANUARY, 1889. 33

87. Whenever any person shall have been convicted before the Supreme Court of an offence against sections 74 and 75, the evidence taken upon the trial of such offender shall be received in evidence in any proceedings instituted for the forfeiture or release of the ship in respect of which such offence shall have been committed; but it shall not be necessary to take proceedings against an offender because proceedings are instituted for the forfeiture, or to take proceedings for the forfeiture because proceedings are taken against the offender.

88. The fact of a ship being apparently fitted and equipped, or in course of being fitted and equipped within the waters of the Colony for the conveyance of Chinese emigrants shall, if the owner, agent or master shall not have obtained a licence from the Governor as required by section 74, or under section 6 of this Ordinance, be prima facie evidence that such ship is intended for the conveyance of Chinese emigrants to be embarked at some port or place out of the Colony.

89. If on the hearing of the said proceedings for the forfeiture or release of a ship seized under section 80, it shall be established to the satisfaction of the Court that the offence charged has not been committed in respect of such ship against the provisions of section 74 rendering such ship liable to forfeiture, the ship shall be released and restored to the owners thereof or their agents.

90. If on the hearing of the proceedings, it shall be established to the satisfaction of the Court that the offence charged has been committed in respect of such ship rendering the same liable to forfeiture under section 80, the Court shall declare such ship to be forfeited to the Crown. ·

91. It shall be lawful for the Court to impose such a pecuniary penalty as to the Court shall seem fit, in lieu of condemning the ship, and in such case to cause the ship to be detained until the penalty is paid, and to cause any penalty so imposed to be applied in the same manner in which the proceeds of the said ship, if condemned by order of the Court and sold, would have been applicable.

92. The costs of all proceedings for the forfeiture or release of a ship, shall be in the discretion of the Court.

93. If the Court be of opinion that there was not reasonable and probable cause for the seizure or detention, and if no such cause appear in the course of the proceedings, the Court shall have power to declare that the owner is to be indemnified by the payment of costs and damages in respect of the seizure or detention, the amount thereof to be assessed by the Court, and any amount so assessed shall be payable out of the general revenues of the Colony.

94. Every ship forfeited to the Crown for breach of the provisions of section 74 may be sold by public auction or private contract, and may be transferred to the purchaser by bill of sale under the hand of the Governor, and the seal of the Colony, and the net proceeds of such sale shall be paid into the Colonial Treasury for the use of the Crown.

95. The Governor may, at any time, release any ship seized and detained under section 80, notwithstanding her forfeiture by the sentence of the Supreme Court, on the owner or agent giving security to the satisfaction of the Governor that the ship shall not be employed contrary to section 74, or may release the ship without such security if the Governor think fit so to release the same.

96. Subject to the provisions of section 93 providing for the award of damages in certain cases in respect of the seizure or detention of a ship by the Court, no damages shall be payable, and no public officer, or other person acting under his order or at his request, shall be responsible, either civilly or criminally, in respect of the seizure or detention of any ships in pursuance of section 80.

97. No proceedings, other than the issue of a warrant for the seizure of a ship, or for the apprehension of an offender, shall be instituted for any offence against the provisions of sections 74 and 75, except at the suit or prosecution of, or with the consent of the Attorney General.

4. Whensoever the death of a person shall be caused by any wrongful act, neglect, or default, and the act, neglect, or default is such as would (if death had not ensued) have entitled the person injured to maintain a suit and recover damages in respect thereof, then and in every such case the person who would have been liable if death had not ensued, shall be liable to a suit for damages notwithstanding the death of the person injured, and although the death shall have been caused under such circumstances as amount in law to felony.

5. Every such suit shall be for the benefit of the wife, husband, parent, and child of the person whose death shall have been so caused, and shall except as hereinafter provided be brought by and in the name of the executor or administrator of the person deceased; and in every such suit the jury, or where the suit is tried without a jury the Court may give such damages as they or it may think proportioned to the injury resulting from such death, to the parties respectively for whom and for whose benefit such suits shall be brought; and the amount so recovered, after deducting the costs not recovered from the defendant, shall be divided amongst the beforementioned parties in such shares as the jury by their verdict shall find, or the Court, if the case be tried without a jury, shall direct.

Signed at Rio de Janeiro, July 30, 1888.

　　The Government of Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Government of the Empire of Brazil, Her Highness the Princess Imperial acting as Regent in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, being desirous, for the benefit of the commerce of the two countries, to facilitate the discovery, apprehension, and surrender of seamen who may desert from merchant-vessels of either country, on the basis of a full and entire reciprocity, have agreed as follows:-

‧

　　It is mutually agreed that if any seamen or apprentices, not being slaves, should desert from any ship belonging to a subject of either of the Contracting Parties, within any port in the territories or in the possessions or Colonies of the other Contracting Party, the authorities of such port and territory, possession or Colony, shall be bound to give every assistance in their power for the apprehension and sending on board of such deserters, on application to that effect being made to them by the Consul of the country to which the ship of the deserter may belong, or by the deputy or representative of the Consul.

It is understood that the preceding stipulations shall not apply to subjects of the country where the desertion shall take place.

Each of the two High Contracting Parties reserves to itself the right of terminating this Agree- ment at any time, on giving to the other a year's notice of its wish to that effect.

In witness whereof the Undersigned have signed the present Agreement, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms.

And whereas it hath been made to appear to Her Majesty that due facilities for recovering and apprehending seamen (not being Brazilian subjects) who desert from British merchant ships in the territories belonging to His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, will be given under an agreement between the Governments of Great Britain and Brazil, signed at Rio de Janeiro, on the thirtieth July, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight.

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by virtue of the power vested in Her by the said "Foreign Deserters Act, 1852," and by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is pleased to order and declare, and it is hereby ordered and declared, that from and after the publication hereof in the London Gazette, seamen, not being slaves, and not being British subjects, who, within Her Majesty's dominions, desert from merchant ships belonging to subjects of His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, shall be liable to be apprehended and carried on board their respective ships: Provided always, that if any such deserter has committed any crime in Her Majesty's dominions, he may be detained till he has been tried by a competent court, and until his sentence, if any, has been carried into effect.

And Her Majesty, by virtue of the powers vested in Her by the said "Foreign Deserters Act, 1852," and by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is further pleased to order and declare that, upon and after the publication hereof in the London Gazette, the Order in Council relating to seamen who desert from the merchant ships belonging to the subjects of the Emperor of Brazil, made by virtue of the said Act, on seventeenth day of May. one thousand eight hundred and seventy-six, shall be revoked, and the same is hereby revoked accordingly.

2. The provisions relating to the construction of build- ings except as hereinafter specially provided shall apply only to buildings which are begun after the commencement of this Ordinance, or of which the enclosing walls have not been carried higher than the footings, or to such old buildings as shall for the purposes of reconstruction be taken down to an extent which in the opinion of the Sur- veyor General exceeds one half (such half to be measured in cubic feet) and all buildings described in this section shail be deemed to be new buildings.

3. Any Contract, made before the passing of this Ordinance, for the erection of any building which shall not have been carried higher than the footings at the time of the passing of this Ordinance, shall be carried into effect in the same manner as if this Ordinance had been passed at the time of the making thereof, and the necessary devia- tions from the terms of such contract may be made ac- cordingly: Provided that the extra cost (if any) of such necessary deviations shall be borne by the Party to such contract for whom the building is erected who may never- theless in lieu thereof within Ten Days after the passing of this Ordinance cancel such contracts upon paying to the other Party, the value of the Work and Labor done and Materials supplied thereunder. Whenever any build- ing-contract shall be so cancelled, every sub-contract shall also be thereby cancelled upon the same terms.

4. The provisions of this Ordinance with reference to the rules for the construction of buildings shall not apply to buildings belonging to the Colonial Government, or to buildings upon any Land vested in any Person on behalf of the Naval or Military Departments of Her Majesty's Service, but all the provisions in relation to inflammable structures, to hoardings, and scaffoldings, and verandahs shall apply without exception to all buildings throughout the Colony.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 47.

His Excellency the Governor recommends the following Notice to Public attention:-

GOVERNMENT NOTICE.

1. The subject of keeping up a supply of properly equipped "Guard" Boats to assist in the de- fence of the Colony, and of raising a Volunteer Corps to man them, is receiving the attention of the 'Government.

　　2. It is considered that if this corps consisted of 40 or 50 members, these would probably be sufficient to act as a nucleus. On the emergency arising, it is thought that a further supply of Volunteers would be forthcoming who, in a short time, would acquire sufficient proficiency.

　　3. Briefly stated, the conditions of service in the Volunteer Corps would be that, Members .will, for the benefit of the Colony, undertake to attend drills at least once a month, and in the case of threatened war place themselves at the disposal of the Government without reserve.

17.

　　4. The organization of the Corps would be somewhat on the lines of the "Royal Naval Volunteers and the "Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers," and they would be required to serve in the special vessels provided for the defence of the Colony.

　　The officers would receive commissions from the Governor, and an allowance to help towards providing themselves with the authorized uniform. They would be expected to acquire a competent knowledge of their duties, and to give a proper attention to the drills of the Corps. They will receive the pay of their rank when called out on actual service, and provision will also be made for officers and men disabled on service.

　　The men of the Corps will be provided with uniform at the Government expense, and, when on service, will receive pay according to their rank.

　　Officers and men will be required to conform to such Regulation as may be made from time to time by the Governor, and, when on actual service, will be subject to the provisions of the "Naval Discipline Act."

Any Volunteer may, except when on actual service, quit the Corps, on giving ten days' notice of his intention, and delivering up any property belonging to the Corps which may be in his possession. The drills will comprise the working of the machine guns carried by the vessels provided, as well as Rifle, Pistol and Cutlass drill, as carried out in the Royal Navy; in addition to this, the officers and petty officers will be trained with a view to rendering them capable of taking command of any vessel in the service of the Corps.

　　5. With a view towards ascertaining whether the raising and institution of such a force is prac- ticable, the Government hereby invite offers from Candidates for enrolment in the Corps, the decision as to whether the undertaking is proceeded with or not depending on the number and character of the offers received.

Communications should be addressed to the Colonial Secretary.

The following Annual Report of the Acting Postmaster General, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 28th ultimo, is published for general information.

the

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, 8th January, 1889.

SIR,-I have the honour to report on the British Postal Service in Hongkong and China during year 1888.

　　　2. A new Contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, for the con- veyance of mails between Europe and China, came into force on the 1st February. Up to the present all steamers have arrived well within their Contract time. Although every effort was made on the part of this Department to arrange for the hour of departure of Mail steamers at noon, which was the time desired by the Chamber of Commerce, it was decided by the London Office (vide Mr. RAE's letter of 27th January appended) that as a general rule they were to leave at daylight, the days being Thursday during the fair season and Sunday during the monsoon. This was adhered to until the

　5th May, when the hour was changed to noon, and the day to Saturday. On the 12th September the day was again changed to Wednesday.

　　　3. The total number of officers in the establishment is 19. Four of these were added during the year, but even with this addition I find it difficult, owing to the largely increased business and conse- quent pressure, to carry on the postal work satisfactorily, and I have to express my deep obligations to the present staff for their unremitting endeavours to meet every difficulty as it arose, more especially to Messrs. ROCHA and MACHADO. If work goes on increasing as it has during the year, it will be. necessary to make further additions to the staff.

The statistics attached will give an idea how work is increasing.

　　　4. I regret to record the death of Mr. D. DA COSTA. He joined the service as far back as 1862 and has done excellent work as Marine Sorter.

　　　5. On the 12th June the Postmaster General (Hon. ALFRED LISTER) went home on leave and I took over charge of the Department with Mr. RoCHA as Acting Assistant Postmaster General. 6. The number of Parcels received and despatched during the year is as follows:-

By P. & O. Packet,

By German Packet,

Total,

Inward. 5,936

Outward.

4,276

Total. 10,212

254

127

381

6,190

4,403

10,593

　　　The total number despatched and received in 1887 is 9,407. There is therefore an increase of 1,186 parcels.

　　　7. By the Christmas Mail from Europe, we received 405 parcels and by the New Year's Mail from. Hongkong we despatched 407. These are the heaviest mails yet dealt with.

　　　8. On the 1st August the Rates of Postage on Parcels to the United Kingdom, were reduced as follows:-

1 lb.,

Each succeeding b. or fraction of a lb.,

25 cents. .20

　　　9. The London Office has laid down, that compensation not exceeding 20/ under any circum- stances will be paid in case of loss of or damage to a parcel forwarded to, from, or through the United Kingdom.

10. One parcel was seized by the British Customs authorities owing to its containing tobacco undeclared.

11 A Parcel Post between this Colony and Victoria and South Australia came into force on the 1st April, bu up to the present it has been very little used.

12. On the 1st October the postage to the Australasian Colonies via Ceylon was reduced to 15 cents per half ounce letters and 2 cents per 2 ounces for other articles.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND FEBRUARY, 1889. 105

13. The date on which this Report has to be sent in makes it impossible to detail the Revenue of the Department for 1888, which will not be definitively ascertained for some months to come. Revenue for 1887 is as follows:-

Gross Revenue 1887,

$141,324.08

Share of United Kingdom, Share of other countries, Conveyance of Mails, Working expenses,. Balances,...

The

$51,085.18

6,824.82

6,572.45

35,971.74

40,869.89

$141,324.08

14. The loose ship letters received show a considerable decrease. Although this mode of trans- mission may be convenient for those who postpone correspondence until the last moment, yet it is not considered secure.

15. There were several instances of fraudulent enclosures of letters and embroidery &c. in news- papers. These were taken out and forwarded, letter rate being charged.

16. Money Orders may now be exchanged with Bangkok.

17. A. renewed effort was made to have the mails by the French Packets sorted on board between Singapore and Hongkong. I understand that the question has been forwarded to the proper Authori- ties at home, strongly supported by His Excellency the Governor and the Consul for France. Should it meet with the success it deserves, it will be a great boon not only to the Hongkong community but also to the communities. at the Coast Ports, for it frequently happens that during the North East Monsoon the Coast steamers cannot wait until the mail is sorted, and the consequence is Coast mails have to be kept back till the following steamers. Again during the present year the French mails have on several occasions arrived on the same day, on which the homeward mail leaves and to get it delivered so that letters may be answered by the outgoing packet, puts us to the greatest possible inconvenience and deranges the business of the Office completely.

18. On the 29th November a Peak delivery was introduced which is, as far as I can judge at present, a great convenience to the public. Of course during the winter months very few residents live at the Peak and the amount of correspondence must naturally be small. During the summer months, however, I feel convinced that this service will be a source of revenue.

From the 29th November the number of local letters despatched is 296, and those received, 70.

　　I take this opportunity of recording my thanks to Mr. FINDLAY SMITH, Manager of the High Level Tramway Company, for his courteous assistance in this matter, especially in allowing our postmen to travel free.

19. The Postmaster General in his report for 1887 pointed out very strongly the urgent necessity for increased and improved accommodation, and made a proposal for remedying the growing evils of the present building and it is hoped that early steps may be taken to effect such an alteration as will be considered suitable to cope with the ever increasing work of this Department. The present building was constructed in the year 1865 to meet the requirements of the Colony at that time. Since then work has year by year considerably increased until every available space is occupied. A Pillar box. system and a house to house dilivery are very much needed and to carry out these improvements satisfactorily, it is necessary to almost double our Chinese staff, but then we have no place to house them. The present staff are herded together in a most inconvenient manner. It is true a small allowance might be granted them to live outside, but for obvious reasons it is preferable that they should reside on the premises.. We also require separate stamp windows for Europeans and Chinese. A visit to the Post Office on a mail day would convince anybody of this.

　　20. A steam launch has been sanctioned for this Department subject to the approval of the Secretary of State, and by its means the landing and delivery of mails will be very much accelerated. We shall also be in a position to establish a Kowloon delivery. The sooner the building of this Launch is put in hand the better, so that the above improvements in the Postal service may be commenced with as little delay as possible.

21. The smuggling of Chinese letters still goes on to a very large extent and a considerable number of secret Post Offices exist. The revenue is in consequence defrauded of a large amount. On this matter, however, I have already reported, and I understand it is engaging the attention of the Government.

22. Our Postal Agents have applied for an increase of salary. They rest their claim not so much on the loss brought about by the fall in exchange. Its strength rests on the fact that their predeces- sors of 1868 received for the work they were then required to do, the same sum as they receive now. Since then they have been called on to undertake in addition the work of the very heavy duties neces- sarily laid on them by the introduction and extension of the Postal Note and Parcel Post system. Their work has been multiplied indefinitely while their pay, expressed in dollars remains the same,

106. THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND FEBRUARY, 1889.

and expressed in sterling is diminished by more than one fourth. I feel convinced that His Excellency the Governor will at once admit the justice of their request which is that their salaries should be raised to such a sum in dollars as will fairly represent the amount of ￡100 per annum more especially now that the question of handing over our Agencies to the Customs, seems further off than ever, and it is probable that the postal work will for many years continue, as it has always been, in the hands of the Assistant at Her Majesty's Consulate. Our Aimoy Agent in particular has a deal of work to get through as the following statistics show.

During the year 1888 the gross revenue collected by him amounted to $10,849.68 made up as follows:-

Sale of Stamps,.

Sale of Postal Notes,

Collected on Unpaid Letters..

do. on short paid parcel..

Profit on remittance,

$ 9,185.06

1.431.75

205.22

.25

17.40

10.00

$10,849.68

The sale of Postage stamps for the 12 months amounted to $9,185.06 against 57,837.81 in 1887 being an increase of $1,347.25.

The following tables show the number of registered articles and parcels received and sent during the years 1887 and 1888:-

The sale of Postal Notes during 1888 amounted to $1,431.75 against $1,312.58 in 1887, being an increase of $119.17. The business of that Agency as well as all the others is increasing every year.

Direct mails for Manila have already given considerable additional work, and now the large steamers for Japan, Vancouver and San Francisco have commenced to call at Amoy. If this is con- tinued a proper office will be required in the Amoy side and the number of the staff increased. great want is also felt for two extra gigmen. Two men are not able to do the work. It frequently happens that they are called upon to pull out when a high sea is running to take the mails from some steamer anchored outside the harbour. I would suggest that as soon as the Steam Launch for this Office is ready for use our gig be renovated and sent to Amoy and two extra men allowed.

I have the honour to be,

Honourable FREDERICK STEWART, LL.D.,

Colonial Secretary,

APPENDIX.

(A.)

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

ARTHUR K. TRAVERS,

Acting Postmaster General.

(Copy.)

GENERAL POST OFFICE, LONDON, January 27, 1888.

SIR,-Referring to my letter of the 5th instant I am directed by the Postmaster General to transmit to you to be laid before the Secretary of State for the Colonies some copies of a revised Time Table of the India and China Mail Services for the present year, shewing a proposed acceleration of the Mail steamers on the China line.

It will be seen that on the outward voyages the transit between Brindisi and Shanghai is less by 42-hours than the Contract time and on the homeward voyages, it is less than the Contract time by from 36 to 132 hours according to the season of the year.

The Postmaster General regrets that it has not been found possible to arrange for a departure from Hongkong at noon as desired by the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce, because in order to effect the considerable acceleration now contem- plated it is essential that the packets should arrive at Singapore at daylight and leave that port at 8 o'clock the following morning, so as to arrive at Penang on the afternoon of the following day, thus giving convenient mail hours to both Sin- gapore and Penang and a rapid transit through the Straits of Malacca.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND FEBRUARY, 1889.

107

　　In order to attain this result the mail packet as a general rule, will leave Hongkong at daylight and this it is believed will be a convenient arrangement to the community. The days of departure will be Thursday in the fair season and Sunday in the monsoon and this will admit of the mails, being closed and put on board the night before so that the Packets can leave at the early dawn and get a clear departure from the Port.

　　In connection with this subject. of leaving Hongkong and the allusion made to the French Mail hours it is right I should point out that a reference to the letter written by the Postmaster General of Hongkong to the Colonial Secretary dated the 16th of June, 1886, shows the reason of the Messageries Company in fixing noon for leaving Hongkong to be in no way out of consideration for any wishes expressed by that community but in order to permit of their saving daylight at the mouth of the Saigon River.

The laws of a country are made, first of all, to suit its own people. The people have a right to keep their laws unchanged as long as they please. They are not bound to alter them to suit the pleasure or the convenience of any other nation. All that is clear. But it is equally clear, on the other hand, that they cannot get out of their responsibility to another State by merely saying, "We 'have such and such laws, and we do not choose to alter them." If the laws permit harm to be done to a foreign State, the people maintaining the laws must either make compensation to the foreign State, or they must meet her in war.

By His

Order of Sainellency Sir G. WILLIAM DES VEUX, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished

Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hong- kong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.

　　Whereas by Ordinance No. 3 of 1862, intituled An Ordinance to authorise His Excellency the Governor by Proclamation to prohibit the Exportation of Military Stores and other Articles, as amended by Ordinance 3 of 1884, it is enacted that it should be lawful for His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice of the Executive Council, by Proclamation to be published in the Hongkong Government Gazette, or in any Extraordinary Gazette, to prohibit, for such period as should be mentioned in such Proclamation, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony (amongst other things) Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Military and Naval Stores, subject to any permission that may be obtained under the last mentioned Ordinance.

And whereas in consequence of certain representations made to me by His Excellency the Governor of British North Borneo, I have determined, with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, to prohibit such exportation for the period hereinafter mentioned: Now, therefore, I, Sir G. WILLIAM DES V?ux, by and with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, do, by this Proclamation, for a period of six months from the date thereof, prohibit, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony, Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Naval and Military Stores; unless this Proclamation shall be in the meantime revoked, or unless permission shall have been obtained under Ordinance 3 of 1884.

The Council met pursuant to notice.

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 17th instant, were read and confirmed. FAMINE IN NORTH CHINA.-Read the following Message from His Excellency the Governor :-

G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

The Governor deems it his duty to draw the attention of the Council to the terrible famine in North China, with a view to the consideration whether some contribution in aid of the sufferers should not be made from the funds of this Colony. Similar calamities are un- fortunately only too common among the dense population of the neighbouring Empire; and sympathy is apt to be paralysed, or rather its manifestation checked, by their very magnitude, and the consequent hopelessness of affording relief at all proportionate to the enormous need for it. But if this consideration were allowed always to have weight, charity would be con- fined within exceedingly narrow limits, if not altogether extinguished. And the only. questions really deserving to be considered, either by Governments or by individuals, in respect of any particular case of suffering is (1) whether it is one, in aid of which some portion of the means at disposal may be appropriately used, having regard to the many other objects deserving attention, and (2) whether in case of aid being afforded there is reasonable probability of its being properly and usefully applied.

As regards the first question, the position of a Government differs from that of an indi- vidual in this, that the former is not free to give play to sympathy, and must confine its action to a comparatively limited field. For the funds at its disposal. being held as a trust, any application of them can be properly made only when, proportionately to its extent, it is beneficial directly or indirectly, to the contributing taxpayers, or when, though not materially beneficial to them, it is one which meets with their general concurrence.

After much consideration, the Governor has arrived at the conclusion that a reasonable contribution from the funds of the Colony towards the aid of the sufferers by the present calamity would fulfil one and probably both of the above conditions. For such a token of sympathy would tend materially to promote and strengthen those friendly relations with China, which are so all-important to the prosperity of Hongkong; while, having regard to the exceptional magnitude of the present calamity on the one hand, and to the favourable condition of the Colonial finances on the other, there would probably be but one opinion in the Colony as to the expediency of such a contribution, if the second of the above questions can be answered satisfactorily,, viz.: that as to the proper application of the contributed funds. But happily on this point also there is a satisfactory reply. The papers which will be laid on the table show that the local authorities at Shanghai having, in the urgent need of their countrymen, made appeal for assistance, Europeans and Chinese have alike responded to it, and being drawn together by the bond of a common humanity are working in unison for the establishment of relief-agencies. When moreover regard.is had to the number and names of those who are taking part in this movement, there can be no more opening for reasonable doubt that any aid afforded will be properly applied than that such aid is urgently required.

As to the amount of contribution, the Governor, all things considered, is of opinion that it should be at least ten thousand dollars. He therefore invites the Council to pass a vote for that amount; he proposes to remit this, or any other sum which may meet with the approval of the Council, to H.M.'s Consul-General at Shanghai, with the request that he and

C.S.O. 213 of 1889.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MARCH, 1889.

163

the other British Consular Officers stationed there will apportion the fund among the various relief agencies, without any regard to religious or denominational prejudices, in such a manner as, according to their joint discretion, may appear likely to do most good.

As no possible amount of contributions can afford substantial relief to all, or even to any large proportion, of the millions who are suffering from this calamity, the Governor hopes that the vote which he now proposes will not prove to be a check but will rather operate as. a stimulus, to that private benevolence for which the community of Hongkong is so honour- ably known; and he trusts that here also as at Shanghai, Europeans and Chinese will exert themselves for an object which appeals alike, if not equally, to the sympathies of both.

By Command,

Government House, Hongkong, 28th January, 1889.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

The Colonial Secretary, by direction of His Excellency the Governor, laid on the table the correspondence on the subject.

　　The Colonial Secretary moved that the question be referred for the consideration of the Finance Committee.com

The Acting Treasurer seconded.

Question-put and passed.

ADJOURNMENT.The Council then adjourned sine die.

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 ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

14. In addition to the annual payments mentioned in the foregoing paragraph, the parent or guardian will be charged with the personal expenses incurred by the Cadet for washing, repairing boots and clothes, hair cutting, pocket-money, &c.

15. The period of training on board the Britannia will be four terms; there will be two terms in each year. The first term of each year will be from February to July, the second from September to December.

The vacations will be five weeks at Christmas, two weeks at Easter, and six weeks at Mid-

summer.

16. (a) Examinations in Seamanship and Study will be held at the end of each term.

(b) Cadets who fail at the end of their second term to obtain 40 per cent. of marks in Mathe-

matical subjects will be ordered to be withdrawn.

(c) Cadets who fail at the final examination to obtain 40 per cent. in the Mathematical subjects, including the Theory of Navigation and Nautical Astronomy, and 50 per cent. in the Technical subjects, combined with Physics and French, will be ordered to be withdrawn.

(d) Cadets reported to the Admiralty for unsatisfactory conduct will be "warned," and should they be again reported they will be discharged: any Cadet however who is reported for unsatisfactory conduct during his final term will be discharged without being allowed to present himself at the examination for passing out of the Britannia. (e) Any Cadet who shall at any time appear to their Lordships to be unfit for the Naval Service, for any reason whatever, will be removed from the Britannia, and it must be understood that this rule will apply to those who are considered unfit from insufficient physical development or weakness of constitution, although no actual organic disease may have been developed.

　　　17. It is to be distinctly understood that the period of training on board the Britannia is a time of probation, and the parent or guardian of every Cadet will be required to sign a declaration (on the admission of the Cadet to the Britannia), to the effect that he shall be immediately withdrawn on the receipt of an official intimation of his being considered unfit for the Navy.

　　　18. Cadets will, on passing out of the Britannia, rank according to the amount of sea time they obtain at their final examination, and those who obtain equal amounts of sea time will rank in the order of merit in which they pass out of the Britannia.

　　　19. The parent or guardian of every Cadet will be required to provide outfit under the regulations in force.

20. No pay will be allowed by Government to Cadets in the Britannia. The pocket-money allowed to Cadets will be charged to the parents.

　　　21. As only Cadets who are able to swim are permitted to use the boats belonging to H.M.S. "Britannia," the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty desire to inpress upon parents and guardians the importance of Cadets being taught to swim before they join the Training Ship, so as to enable them to obtain the full benefits of use of the boats.

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

Council Chamber, Hongkong, 23rd March, 1889.

A BILL

ENTITLED

The Reclamation Ordinance.

HEREAS the foreshore of the Harbour of Victoria is in process of silting up to the detriment of the health and commerce of the Colony, and it is expedient to put a stop to such process and to provide a deep water frontage; and whereas the area of level land for building and for roads and quays and open spaces along the sea front of the City of Victoria is insufficient to meet the growing wants of the Colony, and it is expedient to enlarge the same: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. The works authorized by this Ordinance and all works for the effectual and convenient carrying out of the same are declared to be works for the improvement of the Colony and for a "public purpose" within the meaning of that term as contained in the Crown leases of lands in the Colony.

3. The works authorized by this Ordinance comprise the following, that is to say:

(a.) The making of an embankment along the harbour front of the City of Victoria with all necessary and convenient walls, drains, wharves, piers, landing places, approaches and other conveniences and works; such embankment to commence Westward at a point upon the sea-shore opposite the Gas Works, and to terminate Eastward at a point oppo- site to Murray Pier; the said embankment to be constructed in whole or in greater part upon the bed or foreshore of the harbour.

ARATHOON SETH, Clerk of Councils.

216

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD MARCH, 1889.

5. All the land and foreshore and bed of the sea to be reclaimed under this Ordinance, and all the land occupied by the present Praya road-way and wall along the line of the intended reclamation, is hereby declared to be absolutely the property of the Crown, free from any restriction whatever, and the Governor shall have power, subject to the provisions of this Ordinance, to deal with the same and to dispose of the same for building or any other purpose in the same way and to as full an extent as in the case of other Crown lands; and all property, estate, rights or supposed rights and ease- ments or supposed casements of any persons or class of persons, whether Crown leaseholders or licensees or other- wise, to the user or possession or occupation of, in, over or in any way in relation to such land, foreshore, bed of the sea embankment, reclamation or praya road-way and wall, or in relation to any wharf, landing place, pier or other place, situate thereupon, are hereby declared to be absolutely extinguished and determined."

8. Whereas the persons whose names are contained in Schedule A to this Ordinance are respectively the holders of the lots of land or sections thereof fronting the Praya Roadway and registered in the Land Office of the Colony under the numbers and descriptions specified in the said Schedule, and such persons have declared their readiness to contribute for the purposes of the works authorized by this Ordinance, the sums of money set out in the said Schedule, provided that the Governor will grant to them respectively Crown leases of such portions of the proposed reclamation as are delineated and marked with their respective names and coloured red upon the plans now deposited in the Land Office, and have respectively declared themselves willing to enter into agreements with the Government to carry out such arrangements: be it enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor to enter into and carry out such agreements in the form and terms set out in Schedule B to this Ordi- nance, and to dispose of the reclaimed land in accordance therewith.

All holders of lots or sections fronting upon the present praya road-way between the eastern and western limits men- tioned in this Ordinance who have not already declared their willingness to enter into agreements, as in Schedules 4 and B set forth, to contribute for the purposes of the works shall have the option of entering into such agreements at any time within 3 months of the passing of this Ordi- nance, and such of the said holders as do enter into such agreements shall be entitled to receive in respect of their contributions as specified in Schedule C to this Or- dinauce Crown feases of such portions of the proposed re- clamation as are delineated and marked with the numbers of their respective lots and painted yellow upon the plans now deposited in the Land Office; and it shall be lawful for the Governor to enter into and carry out such agreements, and to dispose of the reclaimed land in accordance there- with.

In case any such holder declines to enter into, any; agreement in manner above provided he shall have no claim to any compensation in respect of any depreciation of his lot by reason of the works to be carried out under this Ordinance, but the Governor may if he thinks fit award to him such a sum of money or such a Crown Lease of new land as he may in his absolute discretion think sufficient as and by way of compensation for any injury that such lot- holder may have sustained by the works.

If from time to time before the completion of the works authorized by this Ordinance any extraordinary loss, damage or expense is caused to or rendered necessary for the works or for any portion thereof by or in conse- quence of any unforeseen difficulties that may present themselves in the progress of the works or by or in consequence of any typhoon or storm or other catastrophe such loss, damage or expense shall when it has been ascer- ained by the Surveyor General and certified by him to the Governor in Council, be made good by the holders whose names are contained in Schedules A and C each such holder contributing such a proportion of the sum required as shall in the opinion of the Surveyor General correspond to the proportion which such holder's original contribution as stated in the third column of Schedule A or C (as the case may be) bore to the whole sum originally agreed to be contributed by the holders, whose names are contained in such Schedules the amount in each case to be determined by the Surveyor General.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD MARCH, 1889.

If any holder who has entered into an agreement as in Schedule B set forth makes default in payment of any monies payable by him under this Ordinance or under such agreement all money that he may have previously paid to the Governor as a guarantee for his performance of the agreement and all instalments of money he may have previously paid under the agreement shall be forfeited.

If any holder who has entered into an agreement as in Schedule B set forth makes default in taking up a Crown Lease of the portion of reclamation specified in the agree- ment in manner provided by the agreement he shall forfeit all rights thereto and all other rights under his agreement, and all monies paid by him under the agreement.

So much of the cost of the works as is not covered by the amounts contributed under the agreements referred to in this Section shall be provided out of the public revenues.

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 7th instant, were read and confirmed. GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.-PRAYA RECLAMATION.-Read the following Message by His Excellency the Governor :-

G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

The Governor has given directions that there shall be laid before the Legislative Council an Ordinance to be entitled "The Praya Reclamation Ordinance, 1889? containing the necessary provisions for carrying out a great scheme of reclamation in front of the central and western portions of the Town of Victoria.

Though the general nature of the scheme and the manner in which it is proposed to be carried out have become well known to Honourable Members and to the community, the various questions connected with this great undertaking are now for the first time brought under the consideration of the Legislative Council; and it may be well therefore to make a short statement on the subject for the information of interested persons outside the Colony, and for the purpose of convenient reference in the future.

230

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1889.

The project for carrying out which it is the object of this Ordinance to provide, is shortly as follows:--

To build a cut-stone sea-wall in front of the present Praya and at an average distance from it of about 260 feet, along its whole length extending from the War Office property at the North Barracks to the Gas Works, a distance of some 3,400 yards, or nearly two miles.

To fill in with earth and stone the intervening space, comprising an area of some 56 acres, in such a manner that it shall be available for building purposes; and

To construct upon this reclaimed area the necessary streets with all requisite channels and sewers, a work which, besides a considerable number of cross- streets, will include a new Praya, 75 feet in width along the whole length of the new sea-wall, and the widening to 75 feet for a similar distance of the present Praya which will thus become an inland street.

The cost of all these works, the amount of which is estimated at somewhat more than $2,500,000, is to be defrayed by the owners of the marine frontage affected by the proposed reclamation, on the terms arranged in the correspondence which has been published, and now expressed in this Ordinance.

As however the maintenance of the new sea-wall when completed will be a charge on the public funds, it has been deemed necessary that its construction should be under the strict supervision of the Government. So that for this reason and on other grounds of obvious convenience the whole of the works will be undertaken by the Surveyor General's Department under a special Engineer appointed for the purpose. Though the owners of frontage-lots, as the Governor is advised on high authority, are not in a position analogous to that of riparian proprietors, inasmuch as they have no immediate access to the sea (the foreshore having for many years been occupied by a wide public street), it is held that what- ever may be their legal rights they have for various reasons, well understood here, a moral claim to compensation in respect of reclamations in front of their land. On this ground, therefore, and in order to avoid the endless litigation that would otherwise arise in respect of the complicated interests involved, it has been deemed right to come to terms with them, under which they will undertake the whole cost and risk of the work, and will receive in return a very large share of the profits, estimated from the present value of frontage land to reach the large total of over $5,000,000.

The Governor was of opinion that this profit on the part of the lot-holders was unduly large; and that either they should pay a considerable sum by way of premium, or the Government should carry out the reclamation on its own account, paying equitable compen- sation for any injury to private. rights. The Secretary of State however did not take this view, and has decided that in any case negotiations have gone too far to impose any such stipulation now; and he accordingly sanctioned with some minor modifications the terms. provisionally arranged with the lot-holders and approved the draft of the Ordinance now submitted for carrying them into effect.

The Ordinance in its present form has therefore already received the careful consideration of Her Majesty's Government; and the Governor has much pleasure in giving effect to the Secretary of State's decision on the scheme, which, whatever the gain of individuals, is fraught with unquestionably great advantages to the public. These are shortly as follows:-

(1.) The provision of some 32 acres of building sites, which, when covered with houses (as they are morally certain to be as soon as completed) will afford a substantial relief to the present congested condition of the Town of Victoria or at least will tend to prevent the still further overcrowding of that contiguous portion of the Town which already is probably more densely populated than any other equal space in the world.

(2.) The conversion into wholesome drained land of the present noxious foreshore, which is becoming year by year a more serious nuisance, and involving an ever increasing danger to the health of the community.

(3.) A great improvement in the Port, as regards the conditions of discharging cargoes, arising from the fact that vessels of large draught will be able to lie alongside the proposed sea-wall throughout its entire length, and thus save considerable sums in lighterage.

(4.) A large pecuniary gain to the Colonial Treasury consisting of,--

(a.) The profit from that portion of the reclamation to be undertaken by the Government in front of its own property; the land to be thus reclaimed being estimated at the value of $1,803,956, against an estimated cost of $362,369, showing a probable net profit of $1,441,587.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1889.

231

(b.) A probable return estimated, (according to the low rate of $1 per square foot), at $300,000, from land in Kennedytown now useless, which will be converted into valuable building sites by the removal of rock and earth for the proposed reclamation.

(c.) Rent from the sites last mentioned and from the reclaimed land

estimated at $29,200 per annum.

Briefly summarised the pecuniary profit which is estimated as likely to accrue to the Government from this scheme is $1,741,587 from land-sales and an annual income from rent amounting to $29,200.

It will be observed that in the above estimate of advantages no account has been taken of the large amount, estimated at $100,000 per annum to be derived from the rates that will be payable in respect of the buildings erected on the reclaimed land and on the Kennedytown sites mentioned, the reason of the omission being that it is difficult to forecast at the moment how far this sum will be absorbed by additional charges for Police Stations, Police, Lighting, &c. It is not at all probable that these charges will reach so large a total or anything like it; but in setting forth the benefits of the scheme, the Governor desires to err, if at all, on the side of under-statement.

There is, however, another beneficial result which may be fairly added, as though prin- cipally of an aesthetic nature, it is nevertheless a very appreciable one, viz.: the greatly improved appearance in the front of the Town which will be brought about by the super- vision to be exercised in respect of the character of the buildings erected.

In view of this catalogue of advantages, it cannot be doubted that the prosecution of this great scheme is in the strictest sense a public purpose as defined by the Ordinance, and, the question whether the lot-holders should receive somewhat more or less profit would seem, after all, of such comparative insignificance, that it should not be permitted for a moment to stand in the way of so vast a public improvement.

For against the expected profits of the private persons concerned has to be set the risk, by no means slight, which they will have to incur in respect of typhoons and other accidents; while as regards both the rent to be paid by them, ($800 per acre), and the large area (26 acres) for streets, which the public will obtain free of cost, the conditions. under which this work will be undertaken are at least more onerous than have been exacted from the adjoining lot-owners in the case of any previous reclamations. And when it is moreover considered that an enterprise involving great, many and varied interests will be carried out with comparatively little, and it is hoped without any litigation, the Governor cannot but feel that the Colony is to be congratulated on the conclusion of the arrangement to be sanctioned by this Ordinance, which, whether it is, or is not, as perfect as it might have been, will in any case confer incalculable benefits on the community.

The details of the Ordinance, which may very possibly require amendment, will perhaps be best left for discussion in Committee; but the Governor thinks it well to refer briefly to an objection which he understands has been made to the third paragraph of the 6th clause of the published draft, by which compensation to dissentient lot-holders is left to the discretion of the Governor. It is needless to say that the Government has no desire to accord other than the fullest justice in respect of private rights; and though the provision in question has no doubt an arbitrary appearance, that aspect of it will probably disappear altogether from unprejudiced minds when the circumstances are fully considered. It should be remem- bered in the first place that the tenure of every one of the lot-holders is under a lease containing a condition, by which his land may at any time be resumed for a public purpose, the Surveyor General being in such case constituted the sole arbitrator--so that if the land of any lot-holder were to be, as it legitimately might be, resumed for this public purpose, the position created for him by a condition to which he has voluntarily submitted already, could hardly be regarded as preferable to that contemplated by the proposed enact- ment. There is however a more important consideration to be taken into account. provision was presumably drafted, and sanctioned by the Secretary of State, on the assump- tion of the correctness of the opinion above referred to, according to which the frontage lot-holders have no legal rights in the foreshore. In this view they are strictly entitled to compensation only in respect of the actual depreciation of their property by the reclamation in front of it; and as in the case of former reclamations here the value of the adjoining land has never, the Governor understands, been affected otherwise than favourably, it is very possible that the lot-holder, if in this case left to his legal rights alone, would obtain no compensation at all. But by the provision in question there can be taken into account the moral claims above mentioned; so that instead of being a hardship to the dissentient lot-holder, the clause in reality will operate for his protection. If however, there should prove to be any lot-holder who not only declines the agreement which has received the approval of the great majority and is embodied in this Ordinance, but also prefers to stand solely on his legal rights, it seems only fair that means should be found for enabling him to do so.

The

232

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1889.

Anticipating as certain the approval of the Council to the prosecution of the scheme, whatever the form in which this Ordinance may finally pass, the Governor has already appointed an Engineer who will, under the supervision of the Surveyor General, devote himself exclusively to the reclamation, and will submit at once for consideration his view as to the staff which will be required in order to begin and prosecute the works with all possible speed.

With a view to cause as little obstruction as possible to the trade of the Port, it is proposed that only two, or at the most three of the seven sections of the reclamation shall be taken in hand at a time; and it is probable that a commencement will be made on those at the two extremes of the foreshore.

Before concluding the Governor deems it well to acknowledge thus publicly the service which has been rendered to the Colony by the Honourable C. P. CHATER, in initiating this great enterprise, and in assisting to bring about the arrangement under which it will be accomplished. It is also only right to mention in this place the Honourable J. M. PRICE, whose able reports on the project have secured its approval by the highest engineering authority in England and its sanction by the Secretary of State, and who has thus rendered not the least of the many valuable services, now unhappily come to a close, which will render his name ever memorable in this Colony.

It may moreover be noticed in this connection that the plans, also elaborated by Mr. PRICE, for the junction of the East and West Prayas were sent to England for the approval of Her Majesty's Government some two months ago. As the local Naval and Military authorities are now in entire agreement with the Civil Government on this subject, and as the Imperial Government is only asked to pay towards the cost, a sum less by several hundred thousand dollars than the value of the reclaimed land to be acquired by the War Department and the Admiralty, it may be hoped that this great work of improvement, now by the growth of the population become absolutely necessary, will also be very soon commenced, and that the negociations of the last twenty years, hitherto unhappily fruitless, will thus at length be brought to a satisfactory termination.

Should this prove to be the case the first, and most important, steps will have been taken towards the realization of the hope, which the Governor earnestly entertains, that before the close of his administration these two great works may be finished-works which in adding a new face to the Town throughout nearly three of the four miles of its length and affording increased opportunity for its expansion in three different directions, may be expected to give a very powerful impetus to the advancement of the Colony.

4. The Governor shall appoint such duly qualified per- sons as he may deem fit, to be Public Vaccinators within the Colony, and shall appoint such local stations or places within the City of Victoria and in the Villages of Hong- kong and Kowloon as he may deem expedient for the pur- poses of public vaccination, and such Public Vaccinators shall vaccinate gratis all persons who may come to them at such local stations or places for that purpose, and at such times and subject to such Rules and Regulations as may, under the provisions of this Ordinance, be issued by the Governor in Council in that behalf.

5.

Medical Practitioner or Chinese Doctor during each succeed- ing period of two months until such child shall have been successfully vaccinated, and such renewal shall be endorsed on the certificate and dated as of the date of such renewal and shall be signed by the Medical Practitioner or Chinese Doctor granting the same, and the production of such Certificate of unfitness for successful vaccination shall be a sufficient defence against any complaint which may be brought against such Parent or Guardian for non-compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance.

It shall be lawful for the Governor to appoint some Medical Practitioner or Chinese Doctor whose duty it shall be to examine gratuitously children on whose behalf are claimed certificates of unfitness for successful vaccination under this section and to grant or withhold such certificate in his discretion.

The Registrar General shall enter in the Registry of Births kept by him the word Vaccinated opposite the name of every child whose vaccination has been certified, and the word Insusceptible opposite the name of every child who has been certified, as herein provided, to be insus- ceptible of vaccine disease.

11. There shall be kept at each local vaccination station or place appointed under the Ordinance hereby repealed or under this Ordinance a register of all persons vaccinated by a Public Vaccinator. The entries in such Register to be called the "The Public Vaccinators' Register" shall be made at the time of vaccination by the Public Vaccinator according to the form and particulars in Schedule D hereto. And the Public Vaccinator at each station shall once in every month cause a return to be made to the Registrar General of all entries in the Public Vaccinators' Register at his station and the Registrar General shall carefully preserve the same.

12. In every case where after the expiration of six months from the birth of any child whether born in the Colony or not the Parent or Guardian of such child has failed to exhibit to the Registrar General a certificate of the Vaccination or of the unfitness for or of the insuscepti- bility to Vaccination of such child, the Registrar General shall serve on such Parent or Guardian, as the case may be, a written notice in the form of Sc dule E, and within ten days after his receipt of such notice such Parent or Guardian shall not have presented to the Registrar General, for registration any of such Certificates, such Parent or Guardian shall on conviction before a Magistrate forfeit a sum not exceeding Five Dollars or be liable to imprison- ment for a term not exceeding ten days, and should the Parent or Guardian of such child then refuse to cause such child to be vaccinated, such Parent or Guardian shall on conviction before a Magistrate forfeit a sum not exceeding Fifty Dollars or be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months. Provided always that no Parent or Guardian shall be liable to any penalty or punishment for not having his child vaccinated at any time between the 1st May and the 30th of September in any year.

Minutes of the Proceedings of the SANITARY BOARD at a meeting held on Wednesday, the 20th of March, 1889:--

PRESENT:

The Colonial Surgeon, (Dr. Philip Bernard CHENERY AYRES), President.

The Acting Registrar General, (NORMAN GILBERT MITCHELL-INNES, Esquire).

The Honourable WONG SHING.

NATHANIEL JOSEPH EDE, Esquire..

JOHN DAVID HUMPHREYS, Esquire.

The Board met pursuant to adjournment.

The Minutes of the Meeting held on the 13th instant, were read and confirmed. Building Bill.-Sections 50 to 54 were considered :-

SECTIONS 50 & 51.-Mr. EDE moved :-

That as there seems to be no provision in the new Building Bill for an open space whereon to build a privy such as is described in the Bill, some provision should be made for a small open yard or space for that purpose, especially in regard to tenement houses, but if this be not found practicable, rather than that any house should be without a privy, it would be desirable to permit it to open into the building, provided always that the privy shall have a good wooden door to close the communication with the house, and that it shall have a window and ventilator opening into the outer air as described in Section 51 of the Bill.

Mr. HUMPHREYS seconded.

The Honourable WONG SHING moved as an amendment.

That no sufficient reason has been shown for the erection of the privies mentioned in the Bill and that the present system works as satisfactorily, if not more so, than the one suggested would probably do. Not seconded.

The Board then divided on Mr. EDE's motion.

Motion carried.

For.

THE PRESIDENT. Mr. EDE.

Mr. HUMPHREYS.

Mr. EDE moved :----

Against. 'Honourable WONG SHING.

That the last seven words, of Section 50, namely, or nearly on a level with it" be omitted, for so long as a proper privy is provided for each floor of tenement houses the position of the privy may be safely left to

· the house owner.

Mr. HUMPHREYS seconded.

- Question-put and passed.

SECTION 52.-Mr. EDE moved:-

That the floor of a privy not on the ground floor should not have an inclination towards the door be- cause when it is washed out, as it should be frequently, the water would flow over the walls below. It should have an inclination towards one of the corners away from the seat where a pipe should be fixed to carry off the ablution water.

The President seconded.

Question-put and passed.

SECTION 53.-Mr. EDE moved :-

That if there is to be no communication of any sort with any under ground private drain or public sewer thecloset cannot be washed out as it should be; on the contrary, there should be a short open surface channel leading to the private drain of the house through a proper trap.

The President seconded.

Question-put and passed.

SECTION 54.-Mr. EDE moved :

(A.) That in the 4th line after the words " every privy" the section should read which is provided with a seat shall have it fitted in such a manner as to be readily removed, &c.

(B.) The general Chinese system of two small brick or stone piers is a very good and sanitary one. (C.) That the walls of the privy should be coated with cement mortar or other non-absorbent material to a height of not less than 3 feet.

The President seconded.

Question-put and passed.

The President moved:-

That the Resolutions of the Board relative to sections 50, 1, 2, 3, 4 of the Building Bill be transmitted to the Government.

Mr. EDE seconded.

Question-put and passed.

The following Annual Report of the Inspector of Schools, for the year 1888, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 29th instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th March, 1889.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Colonial Secretary.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 11th February, 1889. SIR,-I have the honour to present herewith the Annual Report on Education for the year 1888. 2. The total number of Educational Institutions of all descriptions, known to have been at work in the Colony of Hongkong during the year 1888, amounts to 206 Schools with a grand total of 8,717 scholars. More than three-fourths of the whole number of scholars, that is to say 6,728 scholars attended Schools (99 in number) subject to Government supervision and either established or aided by the Government in some form or other. The remainder, viz. 107 Schools with 1,989 scholars, are Private Institutions entirely independent of Government supervision and receiving no aid from public funds, unless it be that they are exempt from payment of rates and taxes.

3. Apart from the Police School with 369 scholars (viz. 17 Europeans, 163 Chinese and 189 Indians in irregular attendance) and the West-Point Reformatory, with 75 Chinese and 26 Portuguese scholars, both of which schools are exempt from the control of the Education Department, the total number of Schools, subject to supervision and annual examination by the Government, amounted, in the year 1888, to 97, as compared with 47 in the year 1878, and 16 in the year 1868. The total number of scholars enrolled in this same class of Schools during the year 1888, amounted to 6,258 scholars, as compared with 3,152 scholars in the year 1878, and 916 scholars in the year 1868. These comparisons appear to exhibit a satisfactory increase of Schools and scholars from decade to decade.

4. Applying the same comparison to the last three years, I find the number of Schools under the supervision and examination of the Education Department to have risen from 90 Schools in 1886, to 94 Schools in 1887, and to 97 Schools in 1888, whilst the number of scholars enrolled, in these same Schools, rose from 5,844 in 1886, to 5,974 in 1887, and to 6,258 in 1888. The steady annual increase thus observable during the last three years and progressing from an increase of merely 10. scholars in 1886, to an increase of 130 scholars in 1887, and to an increase of 284 scholars in 1888, is nothing to boast of, because it is in all probability but a poor comparison with a proportionately much greater annual increase of the population, but still it is satisfactory in view of the decrease which occurred in 1885 and confirms the opinion I expressed in my last Annual Report that the current of educational development is beginning to recover its normal strength, which it had lost in consequence of the local disturbances connected with the Franco-Chinese war in 1884.

5. Referring to the 6,258 scholars who, as above. mentioned, attended Schools under the super- vision of the Education Department, there were as many as 4,325 of these scholars attending Mission- ary Grant-in-Aid Schools where they received a Christian education, viz. 3,407 scholars in Protestant Schools and 918 scholars in Roman Catholic Schools. The Government Schools in the Colony were attended by 1,933 scholars, of whom 634 scholars received their instruction in the Government Central School, 932 scholars in the Government Schools in town and villages, and 367 scholars in the small Village Schools (organized by the natives and aided by the Government by a fixed monthly grant). Comparing the foregoing figures with those of the preceding year, it appears that there has been a slight increase of attendance amounting to 165 scholars in the case of the Grant-in-Aid Schools and to 119 scholars in the case of the Government Schools.

6. The expenses incurred by the Government during the year 1888, on account of education in general, amounted (including the expenses connected with the Government Scholarship, but excluding cost of new buildings) to a total of $45,518.93 (as compared with $43,070.91 in the year 1887) or $7.27 per scholar (as compared with $7.21 per scholar in 1887). These expenses were distributed as follows. The Government Central School, with 634 scholars, cost the Government in the year 1888 (exclusive of building expenses) $12.384.14 or $19.53 per head. The expenses of the other Govern- ment Schools (including the Aided Village Schools), attended by 1,299 scholars, amounted in the year 1888 to $10,511.18, or $8.08 per scholar, that is to say $7.01 per scholar in the Government Schools and $4.19

per scholar in the Aided Schools. On the Missionary Grant-in-Aid Schools, with 4,325 scholars, the Government have spent, for the year 1888, the sum of $16,847.35 or $3.89 per scholar. A building grant of $300 given to the Basel Mission is also included in the general expenditure above mentioned. 7. The nature of the education given in the various Schools subject to supervision and examina- tion by the Education Department has not undergone any material change for many years past. Out of 97 Schools under Government in the year 1888, as many as 77 Schools, attended by 3,986 scholars (almost exclusively of Chinese parentage), gave a Chinese education, in the Chinese language, using either the Punti or Hakka dialect. Two Schools, attended by 110 scholars, gave a European educa- tion in the Chinese language, one using the. Hakka and the other the Punti dialect, and both com- bining the use of Chinese and of Romanized characters in reading and writing. There were further 3 Portuguese Schools, attended by 211 scholars of Portuguese parentage, who receive there a European education exclusively in the local variation of the Portuguese language, learning neither English nor

244

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1889.

Chinese. Again there were 8 Anglo-Chinese Schools at work, giving to 1,158 Chinese scholars a European education in the English language (with or without Chinese teaching being given in addi- tion). Finally, there were 7 English Schools at work giving to 793 scholars of both sexes and of all nationalities a purely English education, exclusively in the English language.

8. It will be observed from the figures given in the foregoing paragraph that three-fifths of all the scholars in Schools receiving Government aid receive a non-English education, the teaching in the first of the five classes above enumerated being virtually that of the ordinary Chinese Village Schools, except that in all of them Geography, and in many also Arithmetic, is superadded, with the further addition of Christian religious teaching in the case of 44 out of these 77 Schools. Of course the fact that the vast majority of the residents of the Colony are Chinese, whose daily necessities do not abso- lutely require a knowledge of English, is sufficient to account for the preference given by the mass of the people to these non-English Schools. But the gratuitous character of the teaching given in these Schools, which are all free Schools for the special use of the poor, has also a great deal to do with the popularity of these non-English Schools. The fact that most of these Schools, being Missionary Grant-in-Aid Schools, combine Christian instruction with the study of Chinese classical lore, does not interfere with their popularity among the non-Christian section of the Chinese community, who unhe- sitatingly prefer a Christian Mission School to a secular Government School, even when the latter should be nearer at hand, provided that the former is considered to be superior in respect of Chinese classical teaching, or as regards method and discipline. The best classical teacher, be he teacher of a Mission School or of a Government School, invariably attracts the largest number of scholars. That it is best for their children to give them first a thorough grounding in Chinese classics, before they begin the study of English, has become the universal conviction of Chinese parents in Hongkong. These Schools act therefore systematically as feeders of the Anglo-Chinese and English Schools of the Colony and especially of the Government Central School.

9. The above mentioned Portuguese Schools,-with their 211 scholars, who receive there a European education in the local dialect of the Portuguese language, and learn neither English nor Chinese,-answer the same educational need, as the aforementioned Chinese Schools, viz., to enable every child first to learn to express thought and feeling correctly in the vernacular tongue, before attempting to acquire a foreign language. The Portuguese community are gradually, though but slowly, turning in the direction of recognizing this sound pedagogical principle which has been adopted several years ago by the Heads of the Roman Catholic Mission here, but the extent to which the parents of children accept and act upon this line of education is still very limited. Too many Portuguese parents, who speak Portuguese only, send their boys, when 6 years old, to an English School and insist upon their being hurried as quickly as possible through Standard after Standard, in order that they may the sooner get employ- ment as clerks and contribute towards the support of the family. The result in most cases is that the mental progress of such scholars is but superficial, that they become mere smatterers in English and, worst of all, such systematic hot-house training stunts not only the growth of the mental energies, but has often also the effect of a blight upon the higher moral perceptions. As the above mentioned Chinese Schools act as feeders to the Government Central School and kindred Institutions, so these Portuguese Schools are the natural Preparatory Schools for St. Joseph's College and the Italian Convent School.

10. Female education has, for some years past, been making steady, though very slow, progress in the Colony. This movement has been furthered, on the part of the Government, by establishing at the beginning of the year 1888 another Girls School intended to give Chinese girls an exclusively Chinese education. The BELILIOS Medal and Prize Fund, which, in the year under review, has been modified so as to encourage and promote education in Boys Schools as well as in Girls Schools, con- tinues to stimulate private efforts in the direction of female education. Nevertheless it is a patent fact that female education is still in a very backward condition in the Colony and there can be no reason- able doubt but that a vast majority of the 8,402 children in Hongkong who remain uneducated (see Table XVI) are girls. Of the 1,933 children enrolled in Government Schools during the year 1888, there were 1,804 boys and 129 girls, that is to say the girls numbered only 6.67 per cent. of the whole number of children in Government Schools. In the Grant-in-Aid Schools the proportion of girls to boys has been better from the beginning and is gradually improving. In these Schools. there were, in the year 1888, among a total of 4,325 children, 2,538 boys and 1,787 girls, In other words, in Grant- in-Aid Schools the girls numbered 41.31 per cent. of the whole of children enrolled, so that for any 6 boys in these Schools there were also 4 girls under instruction. A census of Chinese Private Schools taken by the Registrar General, during the year 1888, by means of the District Watchmen, shewed that there were, among 1,704 children in 83 Chinese Private Schools, 1,679 boys and 25 girls, the girls numbering only 1.46 per cent. of the children in attendance. So far as Roman Catholic girls are concerned, be they of native or foreign extraction, ample provision has been made, under the Grant- in-Aid Scheme, for a modicum of female education. As regards Protestant European girls, there are two small Private Schools which might be enlarged or added to, with or without the help of the Grant- in-Aid Scheme, if the demand for female education by this section of the community were not so small and not so hedged in with religious and social caste prejudices. As regards Chinese girls whose parents do not aim higher than giving their daughters a purely Chinese, that is non-English, education, the Grant-in-Aid Scheme is doing, or capable of doing if availed of, all that is needful. But there is absolutely no provision made by private efforts nor by Government for offering Chinese or other girls

a cheap, non-sectarian, English or Anglo-Chinese education. If it is the desire of the Government to promote in the Colony generally a knowledge of the English language and to put a European or at least an Anglo-Chinese education within the reach of all, we ought not to confine the efforts of the Government to giving to boys only an English or Anglo-Chinese education, but offer the same advant- ages, on the same conditions, to the girls who will be the mothers of future generations. What has hindered efforts in this direction hitherto, was chiefly the fear that the system of concubinage, the great bane of the social life of this Colony, would only be fostered by providing Chinese girls with an English or Anglo-Chinese education. But it seems to me that the duty of the Government to provide the means of education, where private effort is absent, should not be considered to apply to the moral classes of society only and leave the immoral ones without a higher class of education for fear that they might become still more immoral. As a matter of fact concubinage has all along flourished in Hongkong and will no doubt continue to flourish, whether Chinese girls receive an English or Chinese education or no education at all. If the education to be given to the girls here referred to has any moral effect at all, such effect will not be likely to encourage any immoral mode of life but rather the con- trary. It is vain to expect the Chinese residents to put forth any effort in the direction of promoting English or Anglo-Chinese female education. The leading Chinese whom I consulted, with the excep- tion of a few who received their education in the Straits Settlements, are decidedly inimical to any- thing of the sort, because they are the supporters of a system of polygamy which demands for its safety the greatest possible seclusion of females and which is endangered by the promotion of a system of English Public School education specially designed to invite the attendance of Chinese as well as Eurasian or European girls. Under these circumstances, seeing no prospect of private effort coming forward in this direction, I am of opinion that it is desirable that the Government should establish a Girls School, open to the daughters of all classes, whether Chinese or Indian or Eurasian or European, and giving, on condition of the payment of a small monthly fee, an elementary English education in the English language, with Chinese classical teaching to be added optionally (without extra fee).

11. The results of the annual examinations of the Schools under the supervision of the Education Department will be found detailed in the Tables (X-XV) appended to this Report, and, as far as the Government Central School is concerned, in the Report of its Headmaster. A few supplementary statistical details and general observations, regarding points brought out by the examination of the several classes of Schools, may, however, be of interest.

12. In the case of the Government Central School, the result of the year's work has been tested as usual by means of a joint examination conducted by the Headmaster and myself. The general value of the year's work, as ascertained by this examination, will be found summarized in the Headmaster's separate Report, but I subjoin the usual Statistical Tables which indicate, in detail, the progress made in the year 1888 by the several divisions and classes of the School.

　　　13. That the results of the year's work done in the Government Central School, is highly satis- factory, will be seen at a glance over the foregoing Tables. The papers done by the boys of Class I, A, reflect the highest credit on the School, especially in the subjects of History, Composition, Grammar and Dictation. Class III did a remarkably neat and praiseworthy work in Grammar, Geography, Map-drawing, Latin and English Reading. So also Class V distinguished itself particularly in Reading and in Translating from Chinese into English, and Class VIII, B, shewed excellent results in Reading

247

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1889.

and Dictation. But Class III, B, was a little weak in Euclid, Composition, Geography and Grammar and Class I, C, displayed even more shortcomings in Grammar, Geography, Euclid, Algebra and Latin. The School as a whole, however, does not only maintain firmly its leading position among the Educational Institutions of the Colony, but is developing its educational resources steadily from year to year, by adding new subjects to its program. The subject of Latin which in the preceding year had been introduced in 3 classes was, during the year 1888, systematically taught in 5 classes. The substitution of Trigonometry for Mensuration, which is one of the new features of the year 1888, com- mends itself. So also the introduction of the study of an entire play of Shakespeare, in Class I, A, and I, B, is calculated to produce beneficial results, not merely because the methodical reading of a play of Shakespeare is an excellent means of curing that droning sing-song style of reading to which Chinese boys are specially addicted, but especially also because the substitution of a painstaking study of an entire play, for the superficial reading of disjecta membra poeta, is calculated to develope a taste for the master pieces of English Literature. But in increasing thus the work of the higher classes of the Central School there is need to watch the tendency of such increase of school-work to impair the bodily health of the scholars. Such watchfulness will be specially called for in the case of Class III, B, which had four extra pensums (History, Composition, Euclid and Algebra) added in 1888 to its ordinary work. As to the Anglo-Chinese and Chinese classes of the Central School, the examinations have shewn as satisfactory results, as can be expected under the circumstances, and especially in view of the little time that can be spared in an English School for Chinese studies.

---

14. The Anglo-Chinese Schools, established by the Government many years ago at Saiyingpun, Wantsai, and in the villages at Yaumati, Wongnaichung and Stanley, received, in the year 1888, an addition to their number in the shape of an Anglo-Chinese School which was opened, at the request of the villagers, in Shaukiwan. This latest School, however, has not received proper support from the villagers who are hard to please and who desire separate teachers to be appointed for English and for Chinese teaching. The attendance at this School has been small and very irregular and consequently the results have been far from satisfactory, perhaps without any fault on the part of the teacher. At Yaumati also Anglo-Chinese teaching continues, year by year, to drag on a sluggish existence, there being among the villagers still very little appreciation of an English education. The Yaumati School has, however, a better future in prospect, for the boatmen and fishermen who hitherto constituted the residents of Yaumati, are gradually becoming outnumbered by town people and artizans from Hong- kong who are attracted to Yaumati by the lower rents charged there for house accommodation. If this change in the character of the population of Yaumati continues, we shall soon meet with a rapidly growing appreciation for and greater regularity of attendance at the Anglo-Chinese School. The other Anglo-Chinese Schools, those at Stanley and Wongnaichung, and especially the two Schools of Wantsai and Sayingpun are positively over-crowded, and months before a new school-year opens, the teachers of the latter two Schools are pestered with applications for admission which cannot be enter- tained for want of accommodation. The Anglo-Chinese Schools of Saiyingpun and Wantsai abso- lutely require enlarging, if they are at all to come up to the urgent demand, which has sprung up in these localities for Anglo-Chinese teaching. It is possible, however, that the opening of the new Victoria College may relieve the pressure which at present afflicts those two Schools. All these Anglo-Chinese Schools compete annually for the free-scholarships of the Government Central School and these competitions continue to prove, to the satisfaction of the Headmaster, the thoroughness and soundness of the English teaching given in these Schools.

　　　15. Those Government Schools (including the Aided Schools in the villages), the teaching of which was formerly confined to giving a purely Chinese education, have displayed, in the year 1888, a praise- worthy effort in adding to the study of the Confucian Classics also the teaching of Arithmetic as well as Geography. Only a few schools, however, ventured to teach the European numerals (which most of the teachers have yet to learn themselves) and to make the children work out sums, in writing, according to European methods. But Mental Arithmetic, which all these Schools now teach with a will, has called forth the strongest approbation of the villagers and is now well established in popular favour, though formerly spoken against as a foreign innovation. What these Schools most needed was the introduction of a system of examination which requires the teacher to bring forward each boy, year after year, into a higher standard. So long as the education given in these Schools was confined to the Chinese Classics, in the case of which class-teaching is inapplicable, the progress of individual boys could only be measured by the number of books committed to memory, and by composition exercises in the case of the very few boys who stay in school for the number of years required for that. But now, since Geography teaching and Arithmetic have been introduced, which subjects admit of class- teaching, a rule has been made that every boy in the Government Schools who has entered his third school-year is required to pass, at the Annual Examinations, in the following subjects, viz. Schoolbook Committee's First Reader (in addition to memoriter repeating of Chinese Classics), Writing from Dic- tation 20 characters from First Reader, Mental Arithmetic (Addition and Subtraction), Geography (the eighteen Provinces). The subjects of the fourth school year are now, Repeating Chinese Classics, Antithetical Sentences, Schoolbook Committee's Second Reader, Writing from Dictation 30 characters from the same book, Mental Arithmetic (Addition, Subtraction and Multiplication), and Geography (the Chinese Empire). The subjects of the fifth school-year (unless the boys are, as usual in most cases,

248

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1889.

removed then to an Anglo-Chinese School) are Repeating Chinese Classics, Reading and Explaining Schoolbook Committee's Third Reader, Chinese Essay Writing, Writing from Dictation 40 characters from the same book, Arithmetic (up to Division), and Geography (the two hemispheres). This arrangement has now brought the teaching of the Government Schools into conformity with the educa- tional system of the rest of the Colony, and the Aided Schools in the Villages are also having the same system applied to them step by step.

16. The Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class I have suffered, during the year 1888, far more than any other Class of Schools, from small-pox and fever, and also from the excessively high house rents and the consequent movement of the population. Though the total of children enrolled in all Schools has increased, individual Schools in the centre of the town have had their numbers materially reduced, while Schools in the outskirts of the town have profited. But in almost all cases the average of results, as ascertained by the examination, has been in respect of quality below the average of former years, and the number of children brought under examination has materially fallen off in the case of Schools in Class I, being only 1,533 in the year 1888, as compared with 1,696 in the year 1887, although, the enrolment was higher. I subjoin a comparative Table, exhibiting the results of the working of the Revised Grant-in-Aid Scheme of 1883, so far as Schools in Class I are concerned, for whom that revision was specially intended.

17. It is evident from the foregoing Tables that one aim of the Revision of the Scheme has been partially secured, viz., to encourage the teachers of these purely Chinese Schools to bring forward more children into the higher Standards. This has been attained, as far as Standard VI is concerned, and partially also in the case of Standard V, in both of which Standards the number of children brought under examination has pretty steadily increased from year to year. But after all, to bring only 45 out of 1,696 children, or 55 out of 1,533 children into these highest Standards, is not much to rejoice over. The movement in advance, in this respect, is principally due to the Girls Schools, boys being as a rule drafted off into Anglo-Chinese or English Schools after passing Standard III. It is further satisfactory to observe that the number of children brought forward in Standard I has steadily increased from year year, but the number of children placed in Standard II (without previously passing through Standard I) is abnormally large, more especially in comparison with the excessively low numbers examined under Standard III. The cause of this objectionable tendency on the part of teachers, crowding as many children as possible into Standard II, to the neglect of Standards I and III, is that the Scheme allows, in the case of Standard II, copy writing to make up for failure in one of the other subjects. Many teachers have accordingly taken advantage of this means of passing children with ease through the examination in Standard II, and habitually crowd as many children as possible into this Standard, putting them through the Reading and Memoriter Repeating drill of one small book which it would be difficult to fail in, and giving the children a great deal of mechanical copywriting to do, which entails little effort on the part of the teacher, whilst Writing from Dictation is almost entirely neglected. By this means the teacher swells the amount of his bonus at the end of the year, at the expense of the real educational interests of the children which remain neglected. This defect in the Scheme can be obviated by abolishing the compensating power of Copywriting (or rather mechanical tracing) in the case of these Chinese Schools. There are other considerations which point in the direction of the advisability of revising the Code. The general tendency which has set in, during the last few years, to aim at a higher

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1889.

*249

standard of education in all the different Classes of Grant-in-Aid Schools, both Chinese and English, needs and fully deserves support on the part of the Government. There is a general desire, for instance, to include in the pensum of the Chinese Schools in Class I, which have hitherto been purely Chinese Schools, the teaching of Arithmetic as a Special Subject. There is also a desire, on the part of Managers and Teachers of English Schools, to have certain useful subjects included among the Special Subjects, such as Mensuration, Trigonometry, Freehand Drawing, etc., for which the present Scheme makes no allowance. As regards Building Grants also an alteration has been made in the Rules but not yet included in the Scheme. But all the revision that appears desirable affects only minor details and leaves untouched the leading features of.our Grant-in-Aid Scheme, which year by year continues to demonstrate its effectiveness by the increasing soundness and uniformity which is gradually pervading our whole educational system, and in the quiet power which it exercises in the direction of counteracting whatever drawbacks attend the local working of the Cambridge Local Exa- mination system, the healthful stimulus of which continues to produce good results.

　　18. As regards the other classes of Grant-in-Aid Schools, viz. those which give a European edu- cation, the results of the Annual Examinations are detailed in the Tables appended to this Report, and there are but a few general observations to be added. The unusual amount of sickness, which prevailed throughout the year, affected these Schools also, by diminishing regularity of attendance and conse- quently the quality of the results obtained at the examinations. Nevertheless the Boys Schools did, on the whole, very good work, and several Schools specially distinguished themselves this year by the uniformly excellent results obtained in both ordinary and special subjects. But the Girls Schools appear to be losing ground. Only one Girls School (Victoria English School) attempted special subjects (Algebra and Physical Geography) in the year 1888, whilst the Boys Schools are steadily progressing in this matter, both as regards the thoroughness of the teaching given and the shape of fresh variations judiciously introduced, in which respect the Grammatical Analysis and Book-keeping exercises of St. Joseph's College and the Animal Physiology papers of the Diocesan School stood out most prominently as meritorious examples.

　　19. The Needle-work Examination produced satisfactory results in the year 1888. Whilst the needle-work of the Italian Convent School stood hitherto unrivalled in neatness and artistic beauty of its work, there are now several other Schools which are coming pretty near the standard of the Convent School, even with respect to Chinese domestic needle-work. There is however some danger, in the commercial value which the needle-work that is being done in some Girls Schools has, viz., the danger of giving too much time to needle-work, such as pays the School directly, at the expense of the less remunerative training of the mind which benefits the scholar. There is indeed no necessity for Girls Schools to take up any Special Subjects such as Algebra, Astronomy, etc., but neither is there any good reason why girls should fail to master Vulgar and Decimal Fractions, and I would rather see less time given to embroidery and similar fancy needle-work and a little more attention paid to the ordinary subjects of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme.

ANNUAL EXAMINATION.

　　　3. The results of the English examination, as adjudged by me for prize purposes, are highly creditable, and in some cases, as in Classes IA, IIA, IIIA, V and VII deserve special commendation. The lower total percentage of passes, 94 as opposed to 97 last year, is perhaps chiefly attributable to the following causes; one English master has been wanting on the staff for six months, and one Chinese assistant has been further absent on sick leave for two months before the examination; the forced promotion of boys into classes for which they were not yet fitted, and the admission of others into classes for which they were not qualified, are two considerable factors in the same result, due to lack of accommodation consequent on the delay in the completion of Victoria College. Classes IB, IIIB, and VI proved the chief sufferers from these circumstances.

4. In 1883, when as Acting Inspector of Schools, I was associated with the present Colonial Secretary to draw up the Schedule for the Government Scholarships, in inserting the subjects, Latin, Shakespeare, Chemistry, &c. I was actuated by the hope that we should in a year or two of that time be in Victoria College, when I purposed introducing these as class subjects. As time passed however and the opening of that building seemed likely to be indefinitely deferred I could wait no longer; Latin was accordingly introduced in 1887 and Shakespeare and Trigonometry in 1888. In the past year, Latin (including Casar Book I in Class I) was taught with very gratifying results to 136 boys as gainst 69 boys last year. The papers on King John in Class IA were good, in the main, some six or uld have passed in the Local Examinations. English History and Latin were added to the IIIA; and English History, Composition, Euclid and Algebra to that of Class IIIB.

5. In anticipation of the early transfer to Victoria College, several changes were made at the beginning of 1888. The school fees were, with the permission of His Excellency the Governor, raised from 12 dollars per annum, to 24 dollars for Class I. and 18 dollars for Classes II. and III. The whole Upper School was also exempted from the study of Chinese, to afford them opportunity for the preparation of the extra class subjects. To suit the arrangement of the new building, the style of the classes was altered throughout the school, as instead of eleven classes, there will be five classes sub- divided into three sections, while the three upper classes will consist of two sections each. In com- parative reference to past years this is liable to cause confusion, in the table therefore supplied to the Inspector of Schools, I have put a parallel column, containing the old numbers of the same classes.

STAFF.

6. In June last, the School suffered a severe loss through the sudden death from heart disease of the Second Master, Mr. ALEXANDER FALCONER, who had nearly completed twenty years of service. With a natural aptitude for the duties of his profession, aided by zealous application to such studies as should render his services the more valuable to the school, Mr. FALCONER had become a model Second Master. By his skilful and patient treatment of the various characters of his scholars Chinese and others, and by his devotion of time and labour to further the interests of the school, he afforded a sterling though unpretentious example to junior masters. Of his relations to myself I can speak in the heartiest terms, and his loyalty to the late Head Master, Dr. STEWART, is well known in the Colony. The term professor is not so generally used in English as in American schools, otherwise. Mr. FALCONER might have accurately been termed the Professor of English Grammar and Composition, for his skill in imparting these subjects was unapproachable, and it will naturally take some time for his place to be, in this respect, adequately filled. An In Memoriam article in the China Review bears testimony to his scholarship.

　　7. Mr. A. J. MAY, Senior Assistant Master, was appointed Second Master, and application was made to fill up the vacant Assistant Mastership. As however the new master has not yet arrived we have, as above stated, been for over six months shorthanded.

　　8. The staff of masters has sustained its established character for thoroughness and activity: The facts connected with each case justify me in particularising three masters.

Mr. JAMESON SUC- ceeded in raising the boys of Class IIIA to such a degree, that in spite of their coming from lower 'classes than usual, and having extra subjects on their time-table, 100 p.c. passed intelligently. Mr. LUK-KING-FO obtained from Class V. (VII. last year) as good results as were obtained from Class V. last year, the examination papers in Arithmetic and Grammar being of very much the same standard. Mr. CHEUNG TSOI a pupil teacher, Acting Assistant, not only maintained good discipline in a class of 73 boys, but paid such judicious attention to the dull and idle boys, that his results in Reading, Dictation and Arithmetic were admirable.

CAMBRIDGE LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.

　　9. In December, 1887, we sent up six Junior candidates, four of these passed, viz.: WONG FAN, ABDOOL HOOSEN, HO MAN-YING and WAN TSUNG-IU, the two last being over the age of 17 could not receive University Certificates, but have been provided by the Local Committee with statements of their success in the Examination as recorded in the Tables published by the Syndicate. By private advice from the Secretary to the Syndicate, I am informed that WONG FAN was placed in the higher division of the Pass List and received the mark distinguished for Algebra and Geography, HooSEN obtaining the same mark for Arithmetic. Of our two Senior candidates one failed badly, the other CHEUNG TSOI was again checked in Scripture, passing in Old Testament, but failing in the Gospel.

OXFORD LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.

　　10. This examination was held in the Colony for the first time in July last. I introduced it as an experiment to afford our Pupil Teachers the opportunity of obtaining the quasi-degree of Associate in Arts. Six candidates were presented for the Senior examination. Three obtained certificates; WONG FAN, aged 16, and FRANCISCO HYNDMAN, aged 17, were declared Associates in Arts of the University of Oxford, but CHEUNG TSOI the third candidate being over 19 was not eligible for this further dis- tinction. We therefore now have two Pupil Teachers, shortly to become Chinese Assistants in the College, whose attainments have received the imprimatur of Oxford University.

　　11. To Victoria College, consisting of boys many of whom are older than is usually the case in schools, considerable advantages are offered by the Oxford practice which is to give pass certificates irrespective of age, to all candidates who satisfy the Examiners appointed by the Delegates; reserving on the other hand all distinctions to such as pass before they attain a certain limit of age, 16 for Juniors and 19 for Seniors. It is moreover interesting to observe from the results obtained by WONG FAN and CHEUNG Tsor in both examinations that the standard of the Oxford and Cambridge Local Exami- nations is identical; and further that the standard of excellence at this school corresponds with both, for CHEUNG TSOI was Morrison Scholar in 1887; WONG FAN in 1888; and ABDOOL HOOSEN, with HYNDMAN as proxime accessit, in 1889.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1889.

GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIP.

12. I was much disappointed at not being able to present any candidates for the Biennial Com- petition for the Government Scholarship. The three boys, who might have passed a creditable exam- ination, are naturally the three named above. Unfortunately however none of these was available; one being below the minimum of age; another wanting two or three months of the three years' School attendance required; and the father of the third objecting to his son's going to England.

CONCLUSION.

13. Nothing happens but the unexpected. It is therefore perhaps not a matter for surprise that the transfer to Victoria College has not yet been effected. It is however much to be regretted that owing to an unaccountable delay in the erection of the Latrines and Coolie Quarters, there seems at present little likelihood of the new Scholastic year being opened in the new building. The delay of a month or two in transferring the present boys, and admitting the new boys will have a tendency to mar the success of the school work of the year 1889.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

　　The following Report of the Acting Superintendent of the Fire Brigade, for the year 1888, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 29th instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th March, 1889.

No. 2.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

FIRE BRIGADE Department,

HONGKONG, 9th January, 1889.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit the following report on the Government Fire Brigade for the year 1888.

Fires, &c.

1. During the year there were 137 fires and alarms of fires, as compared with 161 during the year 1887, and 112 during 1886.

2. The following table shews the number of, what may be termed, serious fires, at which the Brigade has been engaged each year, during the last ten years.

1888,

1887,

1886,

1885,

1882,

......

.....11

1881,

..11 ....18

1880, 1879,

......11 fires.

3. After making every allowance for the growth of the Colony and the more extensive use of kerosine oil, I am forced to the conclusion that, this enormous increase in the number of fires, during the last two years, is to be attributed in no small measure to the effects of "cheap Fire Insurance."

During the early part of 1887 a keen competition between some of the Insurance Companies was commenced resulting in a general reduction in the rates of premia and the acceptance of risks on the contents of Chinese houses becoming the rule, where it had previously been the exception.

4. In one case of suspected incendiarism, a charge was made at the instance of the Agent for the Straits Insurance Company which resulted in four Chinese (the master of the shop in which the fire occurred and three employes) being convicted at the September Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court and each sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.

5. Several Magisterial enquiries into the cause of fires have been held under the provisions of the New Fire Enquiry Ordinance (Ord. No. 23 of 1888) since it came into force in October last, and although, so far, no prosecution has been instituted, I am of opinion that they have not been valueless.

It is quite possible the future will shew that although, except in rare cases, the evidence obtained in these enquiries will not take the case any further than the Police report, the very fact being known that in every case of fire the Police will take charge of the premises and that a public enquiry may be held, will have a good effect.

6. Several prosecutions have taken place under the New Verandah Ordinance (Ord. No. 4 of 1888) with, so far as the Fire Brigade is concerned, undoubted beneficial results. At numerous fires in the city it was found that not only was the action of the Brigade very much impeded by the verandahs being enclosed and fitted up with all kinds of partitions, but that the fires frequently spread in consequence of the combustible nature of their contents.

　7. In five cases, during the year, the fire has been, unfortunately, attended with loss of life. In one case, a young Japanese woman met her death by the sudden collapse of one of the houses adjoining the premises where the fire occurred.

　　　In the second case, two coolies were burned to death in a cock-loft in a carpenter's shop in which the fire originated.

In a third, the fire originated on the ground floor of a three-storeyed building, the staircase caught fire, and three persons lost their lives in attempting to escape through the flames.

In another, an old woman aged 79 years, who was very deaf, and who doubtless did not hear the alarm, was burned to death in a small room, partitioned off, in the top verandah of a three-storeyed house.

　　　And in the last, a woman with a child strapped at her back, had just escaped from the burning building into the street, when the child was struck on the head by a box that was thrown from an upper story and killed on the spot.

　　　8. A serious accident occurred at the fire in Queen's Road West on the 18th May last, when a member of the Volunteer Fire Brigade (Mr. R. DIPPLE) was buried beneath the debris of a fallen verandah for a long time, before being discovered and released.

He escaped, however, without any serious injury.

‧

264

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1889.

9. The members of the Government Brigade have been particularly fortunate 'during the year, nothing more serious than a few rather rough falls, a few severe bruises or burns having befallen any

of them.

Water Supply.

10. The supply of fresh water for fire extinguishing purposes remains, so far, as unsatisfactory as ever, but it is to be hoped, now that the Tytam water has reached Victoria, that before long this new supply will be available in all parts of the city, and that there will be at all times, a sufficient pressure in the mains, that when a fire occurs, the Brigade will be quite independent of the supply from the harbour.

This, of course, refers more especially to the higher levels.

　　So long as the fires occur on the Queen's Road level, there is little difficulty in reaching them with sufficient salt water, but the difficulty increases in proportion as the higher levels have to be reached.

It is quite possible to have to use three engines to enable one to play on the fire.

11. The question of having separate fire mains, from which there is no draught for other purposes, is I think, one deserving the attention of the Government. At the same time, I am strongly of opinion that, even with an improved hydrant system on such high pressure mains as it would then be possible to have, it would not be practicable, having due regard to safety from fire, to dispense with the steam fire engines altogether, it might perhaps be possible to reduce their number.

12. It is a great advantage to have more than one means of fire extinction, as a fire might occur just at the time when the main is under repair, and in Hongkong, this is quite practicable, there being always an unlimited supply of salt water available.

The Brigade.

13. In consequence of the great increase in the number of fires, it was found impossible to main- tain an effective Brigade on the old scale of pay, and in September last, the very small force of seven- teen European firemen, was found to be five below its strength.

　　The Government thereupon decided to increase the salaries of the rank and file by 100 per cent., and also to augment the number of European firemen from seventeen to twenty-three, and to reduce the number of Chinese firemen from seventy-six to fifty.

This has proved to be a change in the right direction.

　　14. The European firemen had invariably been taken from the Police Force, but the Captain Superintendent of Police not being prepared to allow any more of his men to undertake these duties; an application was made to the Military Authorities and His Excellency the Lieut.-General Com- manding kindly approved of the appointment of six men from the garrison.

　　These military firemen are available for duty between 6 P.M. and 6 A.M., all the Police firemen are, as a rule, available between 6 A.M. and 6 P.M., but during the other twelve hours only half their number.

15. This arrangement has, so far, answered very well indeed, but I think the best means of maintaining the efficiency of the Brigade, and with advantage to the Colony in other respects, would unquestionably be, to keep the European Police at such a strength as would enable the Captain Superintendent to sanction the employment of a larger number of constables as firemen, as, when not engaged on Fire Brigade service, there is ample scope for their employment on Police duty.

16. The employment of Europeans as firemen, and firemen only, I think, is out of the question. 17. I enclose a report from Mr. WAGNER, the Acting Engineer, showing the present state of the engines.

　　They have worked well at the very unusual number of fires during the year. This is a very creditable indeed to Mr. BREWER, the Engineer, Mr. WAGNER his locum tenens, and Mr. CAMPBELL, the Assistant Engineer.

18. I cannot recommend the purchase of another land steamer, until the result of the new water supply is known, and possibly the subsequent question of separate fire mains considered; but I think, a new floating engine would prove very serviceable, the present one is upwards of 20 years old, and cannot be expected to last much longer, and in the event of a break down, there is nothing to take its place.

19. I also enclose a return of the fires and alarms of fire during the year.

　　20. Our thanks are due to the members of the Volunteer Brigades, both European and Chinese, for their valuable assistance, and in concluding this report I must bear testimony, to the very creditable manner in which both officers and men of the Government Brigade, have answered each call to duty.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

GEO. HORSPOOL, Actg. Supt. Fire Brigade.

GOVERNMENT FIRE BRIGADE DEPARTMENT,

5th January, 1889.

265

　　SIR,-I have the honour to forward herewith a report on the state of the Government Fire Engines for the year ending 31st December, 1888.

Steamer No. 1 (Floating Engine) by Messrs. Merryweather & Co.

　　This engine has been 21 years in service. In September last, the Boiler was fitted with a new fire box, and the Launch received a general overhaul. The time occupied for these repairs, was 13 days. Since its overhaul, it has done good service, and has given every satisfaction.

　　During the year it was disabled once, for a period of 15 minutes, owing to the splitting of a suction valve. The Engine is in good working order.

Steamer No. 2 by Messrs. Merryweather & Co.

　　This engine has been 20 years in service. During the year, it has not been disabled at any fire. On one of the periodical trials it became totally disabled by the failure of one of the water cylinder covers, which necessitated the laying up of the engine for 2 days for the fitting of a new cover. The engine generates steam very slowly, is of obsolete type for land purposes, complicated in design, and very cumbersome to transport, owing to its great size and weight. It has done good service as an auxiliary, feeding the smaller and more powerful engines with water from the sea, but owing to its age and complexity, it cannot be relied upon to work effectively under full power for long periods.

　　The Fire-box is getting worn, and I would recommend a new one to be fitted during the ensuing year. The engine is in good working order.

Steamer No. 3 by Shand & Mason.

　　This engine is 9 years old. In November last, it was fitted with a new boiler of the most im- proved type, and received a thorough overhaul. The time occupied for these repairs, was 10 days.

During the year the engine has not been disabled at any fire. It has done good service, and is now a valuable addition to the Brigade, and in good working order.

Steamer No. 4 by Shand & Mason.

　　This engine has been 6 years in service. During the year it has done very good service, has not been disabled at any fire, and is in excellent working order.

Steamer No. 5 by Shand & Mason.

　　This engine has been 2 years in service. It is of the most improved type, and the most powerful in the Brigade. During the year it has done very good service, has not been disabled, and is in excel- lent working order.

Manual Engines (9) in number, all in good working order.

　　During the year, in consequence of the unusual number of calls upon the Brigade, no engine has been specially laid up for overhaul. The engines will each require periodical overhauling during the ensuing year, in order to maintain their efficiency.

As the laying up of an engine seriously affects the strength of the Fire-extinguishing Appliances, .and in view of the possibility of one of the engines engaged at a fire becoming disabled simultaneously, I respectfully suggest that an additional engine of improved type be supplied, and kept in reserve, available on such occasion, or when a fire of serious nature occurs at an elevation when two engines, (one feeding the other) are required to do the work of one.

　　The want of additional pumping power was painfully manifest during the fire which broke out in Lyndhurst Terrace on the 28th August last, when, on account of the elevation of the fire, it required five engines to perform the work of two.

　　The Assistant Engineer, and the Engine Drivers, have given every attention to their duties, and have always promptly attended to the calls upon the Fire Department.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

GEORGE HORSPOOL, Esq.,

Actg. Supt. Gov. Fire Brigade.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1889.

40. The Registrar General shall give notice of such investigation by advertisement in the Gazette, and also to the persons interested in the land whereon such house shall be situate so far as they can be ascertained by reference to the records of the Land Office, but the want of such notice shall not invalidate any proceedings.

41. The Registrar General shall take notes of the evi- dence given during such investigation and if he shall be of opinion that such house or part of a house as aforesaid is a Brothel and has not been registered as such he shall declare the same to be an Unregistered Brothel under his hand and seal of Office, and a Notification of such declaration shall be inserted in the Gazette as soon as practicable after the making thereof. A copy of the Gazette containing such Notification shall be conclusive evidence of such declaration, and of the fact that such house or part of a house is an Unregistered Brothel subject nevertheless in appeal as hereinafter provided.

such appeal shall take and transmit in manner aforesaid such further evidence as the said Judge shall direct, and the said minutes and further evidence if any shall be laid before the said Judge, who may confirm the said declaration or may order in writing the same to be cancelled.

43. Any person who shall appear, act, or behave himself as the person having the care or management of any Un- registered Brothel shall be deemed and taken to be the keeper thereof and shall be liable to be punished as such notwithstanding he may not in fact be the keeper thereof.

44.

45. Whenever any house or part of a house shall have been twice declared by the Registrar General to be an Unregistered Brothel it shall be lawful for him by Warrant under his hand to close up the same, and such house or part of a house shall not be re-inhabited unless the Registrar General shall be satisfied that the same will be occupied in a proper and legal manner and not as an Unregistered Brothel, or unless the Governor shall otherwise direct; and every person knowingly re-inhabiting any house or part of a house so closed up as aforesaid without the permission of the Registrar General or without the permission of the Governor in case of appeal to him shall upon conviction thereof before a Magistrate be liable to a fine not exceeding two hundred dollars or to imprison- ment with or without hard labour for any term not exceed- ing six months.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 6th April, 1889.

No. 8.

Minutes of the proceedings of the SANITARY BOARD, at a Meeting held on Wednesday, the 27th of March, 1889:-

PRESENT:

The Colonial Surgeon, (Dr. PHILIP BERNARD CHENERY AYRES), President.

The Acting Registrar General (NORMAN GILBERT MITCHELL-INNES).

The Acting Captain Superintendent of Police (Major-General ALEXANDER Herman Adam Gordon).

The Honourable WONG SHING.

JOHN DAVID HUMPHREYS, Esquire.

Dr. JAMES CANTLIE.

NATHANIEL JOSEPH EDE, Esquire.

The Board met pursuant to adjournment.

The minutes of the meeting held on the 20th instant were read and confirmed.

　　A Report by the Acting Sanitary Superintendent on grievances A, B, C, & D referred to in the Fever Commission Report was considered.

The President moved :-

That it seems quite clear from the Acting Sanitary Superintendent's Report that the condition of Inland Lot No. 795 is most insanitary and the owner should be called upon to at once remove all old huts, clean up and remove all dirt and lay down properly concreted and cemented surface open drains. The constant soakage of sewage or foul waters into the soil will-if it has not already done so-certainly become a source of di- sease. Cow and goat sheds are not objectionable if kept clean and the drainage be good..

Mr. EDE seconded.

Question-put and passed.

Dr. CANTLIE moved :-

That the Sanitary Board consider the complaint as to the manufacture of soy to be a real_grievance and are of

opinion that the manufacture of this article in the neighbourhood should be regarded as one of a noisome

nature.

The President seconded.

Question-put and passed..

Mr. EDE moved :-

The Board recommend that the drying of Sugar bags be prohibited in the immediate vicinity of dwellings or

where there is danger of streams being polluted thereby.

Dr. CANTLIE seconded.

Question-put and passed.

Mr. EDE moved :-

That as it is proposed to deal specially with the subject of complaint C in a new Public Health Amendment Bill which, it is understood, will shortly be considered by the Board, the Board consider it best to wait for the new bill before making any recommendation.

Mr. HUMPHREYS seconded.

Question-put and passed.

Mr. EDE moved :-

That in transmitting to the Government the views of the Board on the grievances specified in the Fever Commis-

sion Report the Acting Sanitary Superintendent's Report be forwarded also.

Dr. CANTLIE seconded.

Question-put and passed.

Dr. CANTLIE addressed the Board on the subject of a site for an epidemic Hospital. The President replied. Dr. CANTLIE moved :-

That a letter be addressed to the Government enquiring whether it is open to the Board to submit to it recom-

mendations on the subject of a site for an Epidemic Hospital.

Mr. HUMPHREYS seconded.

Question-put and passed.

A Report by the Sanitary Superintendent regarding defective house-drains in houses Nos. 317, 319 and 321, Queen's Road West was considered.

Mr. EDE moved :-

That the order asked for by the Sanitary Superintendent under Section 53 of the Public Health Ordinance be

issued to the Sanitary Surveyor.

Mr. HUMPHREYS seconded.

Question-put and passed.

Mortality Returns.-Laid on the table Returns for weeks ended 9th, 16th and 23rd March, 1889. Adjournment.-The Board then adjourned until Wednesday, the 10th April, at 4.15 P.M.

　　The following Report of the Director of the Observatory, for the year 1888, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 12th instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 13th April, 1889.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY,

8th February, 1889.

}

　　SIR, For the information of His Excellency the Governor I have the honour to forward my Annual Report for 1888..

　　3. A report containing exhaustive investigations of the typhoons of 1886 and 1887 with five plates representing their paths has been printed. Father FAURA was good enough to send me the paths of typhoons in the Philippine Islands in 1887, which were used for that district and the Tokio weather-maps were used for the Japanese Archipelago. This reduced the amount of work that fell to my share, but the typhoons in the Pacific Ocean had to be investigated here as sufficient information does not appear to have been available at the other observatories.

4. Information concerning the typhoons of 1888 has been collected and the observations are being 'reduced and tabulated. In addition to the observations furnished by stations on shore, the logs of 139 different vessels containing entries on 1712 days (counting those made on board different ships on same date separately) are available. A number of log-books have of course been looked through without entries bearing on typhoons having been found. The final investigation of the typhoons of 1888 will probably be ready next year. It should be remembered that although the typhoons are exhaustively investigated here, that does not imply the complete elaboration of all that might be done by aid of the meteorological data at my disposal. An immense quantity of information bearing on the meteorology of China is collected here, that is not utilized for lack of clerks to take it in hand, and this cannot fail to affect the results of researches on typhoons for there are certain questions con- nected with this subject that cannot be answered in the absence of a complete discussion of the climate of China.

　　7. That this requirement is fully recognised everywhere else in the Empire and properly provided for may be seen e.g. from the following extract from the Report on the Administration of the Meteoro- logical Department of the Government of India in 1887-88 (Page 16 §7). "In order to facilitate and expedite the working of these arrangements, the Telegraph Department has granted the privilege of Precedence urgency to telegrams referring to stormy weather and the hoisting of storm-signals between the Meteorological Reporter of Calcutta and the Port Officers and Meteorological Superintendents of Cocanada, Gopalpur, Madras, Masulipatam, Negapatam and Vizagapatam. The names of other officers will be added to this list as found necessary for the proper working of the system. Instructions for the preparation and dispatch of the telegrams in proper form, in order to secure priority of transmission to ordinary urgent messages, will be sent by the India Meteorological Office to the various officers permitted to send them.

　　8. My pamphlet on the Law of Storms in the Eastern Seas as well as my reports on typhoons have been widely utilized by scientific and nautical authorities over the world. The former has been repeatedly reprinted and translated into foreign languages e.g. together with the Instructions for making Meteorological Observations, etc. by order of the Inspector General of the Imperial Chinese Maritime Customs, for the use of residents in China. Writers very rarely make use of such reports without due reference to the Observatory from which they emanated, but in a paper in the Annalen der Hydrographie (Berlin, 1887 XV page 333) the substance of my pamphlet has been republished and even paths of typhoons, which were constructed at the expense of the Colonial Government, have been reproduced

without any reference to this Observatory. However I am informed that this was due to an oversight. The fact that the wind in a typhoon blows from a direction 12 points distant from the bearing of the centre was first ascertained and proved here, but it will of course take some time before masters of vessels become familiar with this result, though its practical importance is being appreciated by degrees.

　　9. During the past typhoon season, in addition to those hitherto supplied, meteorological obser- vations were telegraphed twice a day from Macao through the cable of the Eastern Extension, Austra- lasia and China Telegraph Company and also from Tokio in Japan through the cable of the Great Northern Telegraph Company. An attempt was made to have them forwarded from Canton, Hoihow (Hainan) etc. through the Chinese telegraph lines, but although they were sent by order of the Chinese authorities as often as there was communication, the experiment was not invariably successful. Messages from Saigon and more information from the Philippines would be useful. It is a pity that while other countries in the Far East are being meteorologically explored, the Philippines remain scientifically almost a terra incognita.

10. As stated in the "Instructions for making Meteorological Observations, etc." meteorological instruments forwarded by observers, who regularly send their registers to this Observatory, are verified here free of cost. During the past year, the following number of instruments has been verified and certificates issued. Barometers: 1, Thermometers: 5, Anemometers: 1.

　　11. The index errors of barometers read off on board ship are determined whenever required by comparing readings made near this port with the barograms.

12. The number of transits observed during the past year was 232, and the inclination of the axis was determined 91 times. The tick of the sidereal standard clock is heard in the transit room through a telephone. A microphone is placed on top of the case and this is connected with the telephone through an induction coil. Telephones are also used for speaking to the Assistant in the ball-tower at Tsim-sha-tsui through the time wire. The wires in the transit instrument were illumi- nated by a small electric light. Electric testing apparatus are being procured from England.

13. The rate of the sidereal standard clock during upwards of two years has been investigated. The rate was represented by the following formula, where t means the number of days elapsed since the 12th September, 1885, and 7 the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit:

R= ?03. 56 - 0.00655t +0. 00000420 ?2 - 03. 063 (7-70°).

　　The details are published in Astr. Nachr. No. 2868 and also in The Observatory for Septem- ber, 1888. The mean daily rates during ten day periods in 1888 are exhibited in the following table,

means gaining and + losing rate. The rates are represented by the following f formula

where

R+0.45-0.00261 t + 0.0000120t 0.063 (7-70°)

where t is counted from the 28th June, 1888. It will be remarked that the acceleration of the clock- rate has decreased and should now cease according to the formula. The observed rate minus the computed rate is exhibited under the heading R.-R. The figures show certain fluctuations of rate of rather long period.

14. As stated in the time-ball notice published in the Government Gazette on the 10th January, 1885, the ball is not dropped on Sundays and on Government Holidays. The ball was dropped every working day in the past year except on the 17th, 13th, and 26th May and 26th June when it was not hoisted on account of thunderstorms, and on the 8th August the mast was found split, where two pieces were riveted together. The ball could not be hoisted on the 8th, 9th and 10th of that month, while under repair by the Public Works Department. There was not a single failure during the year.

　　15. The probable errors of the signal in the different months of 1888 (with the average percentage of clouded sky added in parenthesis) were as follows:-January 0.12 (48), February 0.19 (85), March 0.26 (91), April 0.41 (86), May 0.20 (84), June 0.14 (92), July 0.13 (59), August 0.17 (60), September 03.14 (57), October 08.14 (53), November 0.15 (48), December 08.17(56).-The mean of the probable errors was 0.18. A new standard clock with mercurial compensation has been ordered from England. When that arrives and is erected and rated the errors will be reduced during periods of persistently overcast weather (on the 14th April last year the sun was observed after 20 days of continually overcast skies). It will then have to be decided whether it would not be as well to cut a certain quantity off the zinc rod, say a length corresponding to three-quarters of the temperature co-efficient, for no matter how well this is determined, the rate will ceteris paribus be more regular the more perfectly the clock is compensated.

　　16. With reference to a suggestion made concerning tidal and magnetic observations in the 5th paragraph of my last Annual Report, the Secretary of State did not assent to any discontinuation of the magnetic observations, which are ordered to be continued as heretofore. It is intended to re-inves- tigate the induction coefficient of the vibrating magnet next spring. It does not appear that any im- provement could be effected in Mr. ROBERTS's tide-tables (which represent the tides very closely indeed) by aid of the amount of trace available at present from the automatic tide-gauge, but next year when three years' trace is available would be the time to have it harmonically analyzed.

17. The following papers have been published in Europe in the course of the past year:-

"Telegraphic determination of the longitude of Haiphong" (Month. Not. R.A.S. Vol. XLVIII

No. 5).

"On comet seeking" (Journ. Liverpool Astr. Soc. Vol. VI No. 7).

18. In the China Coast Meteorological Register, based on information transmitted by the Eastern Extension and the Great Northern Telegraph Company, which was daily published, is given a summary of the atmospheric circumstances in Luzon and along the coast of China, and information concerning the weather in Japan and in Wladivostock. It contains also information concerning the first appearance and progress of typhoons.

19. Mr. FIGG took all the clockworks of the self-recording Meteorological instruments asunder and had them cleaned and adjusted after which they went as well as before. The anemometer is oiled every ten days with pure sperm-oil. During previous winters some trouble was experienced with the lamps on the barograph and the thermograph, which had a tendency to go out in the course of the night. In hot and damp weather they would burn any length of time. By using only the best kerosine oil to be had in the Colony, having the lamps washed in soda once a week and especially by emptying out all the oil left this difficulty has been overcome. Some extra fine lighthouse oil was procured from London but it was not found better than the kinds to be had in the shops here and cost many times as much. The introduction of the electric light in Kowloon would benefit the Observatory materially.

20. Among scientific men who have visited this Observatory may be mentioned Dr. SCHrader, the well-known astronomer of Hamburgh, when on his return from an exploration in New Guinea, with whom I conversed about methods practically used in making observations; Captain FLEURIAIS com- manding La Galissonniere and Lieutenant Perrin; Captain EDLER VON WOHLGEMUTH, Director of the Observatory, JAN MAYEN, who explained to me a great many things connected with navigation; Captain USBORNE MOORE, in command of H.M.S. Rambler, the surveying vessel; Lieutenant HARTMANN, formerly connected with the Observatory at Wilhelmshafen; Lieutenant GRATZL, of the Austrian Frigate Fasana; Professor MILNE and Mr. KNIPPING, of Tokio; Father FAURA of Manila and others.

21. I continue in friendly correspondence with Mr. WHIPPLE, the principal authority on Meteoro- logical matters in the Empire, who is as well known for his genial disposition as for his extensive information and practical experience. Indeed Mr. WHIPPLE'S assistance is not confined to any district and meteorologists over the world are more or less indebted to him for valuable support at some time or other.

22. The crepuscular rays at sunset described in "Nature" Vol. XXXVII page 464, were during the past year carefully observed by a volunteer, who does not wish to be named:

　　Very faint traces of rays were seen on the 18th of January, the 25th April, the 21st June, the 2nd, 6th and 21st July, the 2nd, 4th, and 6th August.

　　Well developed rays were seen in the west on the 19th February, the 24th April, the 12th, and 22nd June, the 12th, 13th, 18th, and 20th, July, the 5th, 16th, 28th and 31st, August, the 1st, 11th, 14th, and 29th, September.

　　Strong rays both east and west, beginning in the former direction were seen on the 19th, 22nd and 23rd July, the 19th August, the 3rd, 4th and 5th September, the 14th October.

Rays stretching right across the whole sky were seen on the 8th and 10th May, the 20th June, the 30th August, the 13th, 19th and 26th September, the 12th October.

　　The number of observations were therefore: Jan. 1, Feb. 1, Mar. 0, Apr. 2, May 2, June 4, July 10, Aug. 9, Sep. 10, Oct. 2, Nov. 0, Dec. 0. On the 19th of February dark rays were seen above white small-cumulus clouds at an altitude of up to 60°, while the sun was still 5° above the horizon. This was followed by a great thunderstorm, a rather rare phenomenon in that month.

　　23. With reference to cloud classification, I have received a pamphlet from the Hon. R. ABER- CROMBY which suggests several changes in the names of clouds (Comp. Annual Report for 1887 page 3 §13). The descriptions of clouds given therein are scarcely superior to those usually printed in such "Instructions," but the new names suggested would seem to recommend themselves for inter-

national use. They are: cum-cir, for sm-cum, str-cir, for very high str, a common fine weather cloud in Ireland, which had not hitherto been separately denominated, and str-cum, for Roll-cum (in Hongkong str-cum is used in a different sense). Cum-nim is also used, but is defined as nim of rounded shape, while any cloud from which rain is seen falling is called nim. in Hongkong. Cum-str is classed among rare and transient forms, whereas it is really common and even characteristic of certain regions such as the Malacca Straits. An uniformly covered sky is always entered as str in Hongkong. There are some strange explanations given in the same pamphlet such as on page 7, where it is said that cumulus may be formed by "collision between winds, such as land and sea breezes.". The distinction "between the direction of propagation of a cyclonic cloud bank and the direction of motion of the clouds within the bank" is claimed as a new feature, whereas it is well known to practical meteorologists more especially within the tropics, where typhoons are observed, approaching in the first instance in the shape of an arch of dark cloud whose direction of motion forms an angle with the direction of the top of the arch. This has been thoroughly explained by FERREL

a long time ago.

　　24. From an examination of thunderstorms in the Colony during the past five years it appears that they are most frequent in May, and that they have not occurred in November, December and January. They seldom happen in February. With reference to the daily variation they are more frequent at night than during the daytime in the proportion of 3 to 2. They appear to be most. abundant about la. and least so about 8a. in the proportion of about 2 to 1.

　　25. During the past year the temperature was on an average higher than in previous years and rose higher than before on hot days. This appears to have been at least partly due to a more south- erly direction of the wind, but indeed the temperature has been rising on the whole since 1884. Whether this is periodical remains to be investigated. There seems fair prospects of finding that it is

So.

It should be remembered that great care is taken with our thermometrical observations and the results are accurate in proportion. The past year was more damp than usual, the rainfall was heavy and the mean barometer below the average. The amount of sunshine was less and the cloudiness greater than usual. It is generally considered to have been an unhealthy year.

　　26. The weather in January, 1888, was very warm and dry. There was a great deal of dew but hardly any rain. Dry weather haze was common, but indeed dry haze is always common along the China coast during the NE monsoon. February set in very cold. The water froze at the Peak on one or two nights. Thunderstorms began early and were severe in March. During April the weather was very trying to the health. For the greater part it was overcast, damp and foggy. The end of April was unusually hot. There was a great fall of temperature in the afternoon on the 22nd of May, and in the morning on the 3rd June. The weather in July was hot (90°.1 at 11p. on the 14th) and close and there was very little wind. This was due to distant typhoons. On the 22nd and 23rd water-spouts were seen to the south of Hongkong.. On the 20th at 7a., a double solar halo was observed by Mr. MAHOMET ALARAKIA. The radius of the inner was 23° and that of the outer about 45°. The barometric tide was great during dry weather. The beginning and also the end of August were very hot.

Rain was frequent during the night and early morning. The first half of October was rather close, warm and damp. The latter part of the month was dry and clear as usual. The force of the wind during November fell far short of the average and the weather was warm in consequence. This continued in December, during which month the amount of cloud and rain was excessive.

　　27. At the Observatory the cisterns of the barograph and standard barometer are placed 109 feet above mean sea level. The bulbs of the rotating thermometers are swung 108 feet above mean sea level and 4 feet above the ground. The solar radiation thermometer is placed at the same height but the terrestrial radiation thermometer is only about one inch above the grass. The rim of the pluviograph is placed 105 feet above mean sea level and 21 inches above the ground. The cups of the anemograph are 149 feet above mean sea level and 45 feet above the ground. At Victoria Peak the instruments, except the radiation thermometers and the rain-gauge are placed in the look-out. The cistern of the barometer is 1814 feet above mean sea level. The bulbs of the thermometers are about 4 feet above the floor except the maximum thermometer, which is a few inches higher. The radiation thermometers are placed at the same height above the ground as at the Observatory. The rim of the rain-gauge is 8 inches in diameter and one foot above the ground.

28. The Monthly Weather Reports are arranged as follows:

　　Table I exhibits the hourly readings of the barometer reduced to freezing point of water but not to sea level, as measured (at two minutes to the hour named) from the barograms.

　　Tables II and III exhibit the hourly readings of the temperature of the air and of the temperature of evaporation round the Observatory as determined by aid of rotating dry and damp bulb thermometers and the thermograms. Table II exhibits also the extreme temperatures during the day and Table III also the solar radiation (black bulb in vacuo) maximum and terrestrial radiation-minimum tempera-

tures.

　　Table IV exhibits the mean relative humidity in percentage of saturation and mean tension of water vapour present in the air expressed in inches of mercury for every hour in the day and for every day in the month, calculated by aid of Blanford's tables from the data in Tables II and III.

310

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1889.

Table V exhibits the duration of sunshine expressed in hours from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour (true time) named.

Table VI exhibits the amount of rain in inches registered from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named.

Table VII exhibits the velocity of the wind in miles and its direction in numbers: The velocity of the wind is measured from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named; but the direction is read off at the hour except when it is very light and changeable, in which case the average direction during the hour is estimated, taking into account the velocity from different quarters. The direction is not noted when the velocity is below 1.5 miles an hour. The vane is to be depended on except when the velocity is uniform (which is of course a rare occurrence) and below 3 miles an hour.

Table VIII exhibits for every hour in the day, the mean velocity of the wind reduced to 4 and also to 2 directions, as well as the mean direction of the wind :-

The number of miles traversed by winds from directions 31, 32 and 1 and half the number of miles from 30 and 2 are termed (N.) The number of miles from 3, 4 and 5 and half the number of miles from 2 and 6 are termed (NE), etc. We have thus:-

N(N) + (NE) cos. 45° + (NW) cos. 45°

E=(E) + (NE) cos. 45° + (SE) cos. 45°

which are the components exhibited in this table.

etc.

Table IX exhibits the direction (to two points) and force (0-12) of the wind estimated at Victoria Peak and the rainfall measured at 10a. and entered to preceeding day at the Peak and at the Observatory, as well as the duration of rain estimated at the Observatory.

Table X exhibits the readings of the barometer reduced to freezing point of water but not to sea level, and of the thermometers at Victoria Peak.

Table XI exhibits the relative humidity and tension of vapour at 10a., 4p. and 10p. daily at the Observatory and at the Peak.

　　　Table XII exhibits the amount (0-10), name and direction whence coming of the clouds. Where the names of upper and lower clouds are given, but only one direction, this refers to the lower clouds. These observations are made with the unaided vision. BRAUN'S nephoscope, which has lately been again brought out in Sweden, has not been used.

29. The following annual weather report for 1888 is arranged as follows:-

　　　Table III exhibits the mean annual values (or mean hourly excess above this) obtained by aid of the mean values printed in the monthly reports. The mean hourly intensity of rain is obtained from the sixth table of the monthly reports in connection with the fourth table of this report. The total amount of rain measured daily at 10a. was 104.585 inches at the Observatory and 111·17 at the Peak. The total duration registered at the Observatory was 854 hours. The rainfall was at least 0.01 inch on 173 days at the Observatory, and on 111 days at the Peak.

　　　The excess of the black bulb above the air maximum is given as usual. It would have been much better to compare the former with the temperature registered at noon, but that is not done elsewhere.

Table IV exhibits the number of hours during a portion of which rain was registered.

Table V exhibits the total distance traversed by as well as the duration and average velocity of winds from bi-quadrantal points, obtained from the tables published on the first page of each monthly weather report.

Table VI exhibits the number of days on which certain Meteorological phenomena were noted and also the total number of thunderstorms observed in this neighbourhood during the year.

Table VII shows the frequency of clouds of the different classes.

Table VIII exhibits the values of different quantities as explained in previous reports. The hourly intensities of rain have been obtained from the data in the ninth table of the monthly reports.

Tables IX and X exhibit the monthly and annual extremes. The extremes of humidity and vapour tension have been obtained from the eleventh table of the monthly reports and are therefore as usual not quite complete as the values for only 10a. 4p. and 10p. daily are calculated.

Tables XI and XII are arranged as explained in the report on five-day means for 1886.

　　30. The observations of magnetic declination and horizontal force were made with the unifilar magnetometer, ELLIOTT BROS. No. 55, and the dips were observed with dip circle, DOVER No. 71. The methods adopted are explained in Appendix G. of Observations and Researches made in 1885. The value of log K was 3.44975 at 27° cent. and the value of P was + 6.608. The mean value of the magnetic moment of the vibrating needle was 0.48203 in British Units and 629.32 in C.G.S. Units.

The times of vibration exhibited in the table are each derived from 12 observations of the time occupied by the magnet in making 100 vibrations, corrections having been applied for rate of chrono- meter and arc of vibration. The observations of horizontal force are expressed in C.G.S. Units, but the monthly synopsis exhibits X, the horizontal as well as Y, the vertical, and the total forces, which have been computed by aid of the observed dips, and their values are also given in British Units and in Gauss's Units. The declination and dip are decreasing, while the horizontal force is increasing as well as the total force. Observations made before the Observatory was founded show that the dip was increasing during the forty years previous.

[L.S.] G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

Whereas by Ordinance No. 11 of 1889, intituled The Stone Cutters' Island Ordinance, 1889, it is enacted that it should be lawful for the Governor, from time to time by Proclamation in the Gazette, to exempt any portion or portions of the Island, to be defined by such Proclamation, from the operation of the said recited Ordinance.

And whereas in consequence of certain representations made to me, I have determined to exempt from the operation of the said Ordinance the following portions of the Island, namely:-

The Lazaretto-Bounded on the North by the shore line; on the West by a line of poles commencing 82 yards to the West of the Lazaretto Pier and extending 280 yards in a Southerly direction to the Surgeon's house; on the South by a line of poles extending from the Surgeon's house in a North-Easterly direction for 600 yards; on the East by a line of poles extending from the Eastern extremity of the Southern boundary in a North-Westerly direction to the shore line.

The Gunpowder Depot.-Bounded on the North and South by the shore lines;, on the West by the Western wall of the old Gaol; and on the East by the Military reserve boundary as marked out by boundary stones. Now, therefore, .I, Sir G. WILLIAM DES VEUX, do, by this Proclamation, exempt the said portions of the said Island from the operation of the above recited Ordinance.

By Command,

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

· A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to carry out a scheme for the Reclamation of the foreshore opposite the City of Victoria.

WHEREAS the foreshore of the Harbour of Victoria

is in process of silting up to the detriment of the health and commerce of the Colony, and it is expedient to put a stop to such process and to provide a deep water frontage; and whereas the area of level land for building and for roads and quays and open spaces along the sea front of the City of Victoria is insufficient to meet the growing wants of the Colony, and it is expedient to enlarge the same: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as The Praya Reclamation Ordinance, 1889.

2. The works authorized by this Ordinance and all works for the effectual and convenient carrying out of the same are declared to be works for the improvement of the Colony and for a "public purpose" within the meaning of that term as contained in the Crown leases of lands in the Colony.

3. Subject to the provisions and for the purposes of this Ordinance, it shall be lawful for the Governor to carry out the works authorized by this Ordinance according to the plan and drawings deposited in the Land Registry Office signed by the Surveyor General and countersigned by the Governor, and such plan and drawings shall remain in the said Office and shall be open to public inspection at con- venient hours.

In carrying out the works it shall be lawful for the Governor to deviate in respect of details to any extent that shall not materially alter or affect the general design set forth in such plan and drawings: Provided that the area of land to be disposed of for building as shewn upon the said plan shall not be unnecessarily diminished.

The works shall be commenced forthwith and shall pro- ceed without unnecessary interruption or delay until com- pletion and the Governor is hereby authorised to appoint a competent officer to superintend and a competent staff to assist in carrying out the said works and to procure and obtain such plant, machinery materials and things as may be necessary for the said works. The salaries of such officer and staff and the cost of such plant, machinery, materials and things shall be defrayed as part of the costs of the said works in manner hereinafter provided.

4. The works authorized by this Ordinance comprise the following, that is to say:

(a.) The making of an embankment, along the harbour front of the City of Victoria with all necessary and convenient walls, drains, wharves, piers, landing places, approaches and other conveniences' and works; such embankment to commence Westward at a point upon the sea-shore opposite Marine Lot No. 188 and marked upon the said plan, and to terminate Eastward at a point opposite to Murray Pier; the said embankment to be constructed in whole or in greater part upon the bed or foreshore of the harbour.

(b.) The making upon the said embankment of a public road-way not less than seventy-five feet, and the widening out of the present Praya road- way to a width of not less than seventy-five feet, with all necessary and convenient approaches to the same.

5. For the purpose of effecting the works authorized by this Ordinance it shall be lawful for the Governor to remove, destroy, alter, divert, stop up, or enclose such streets, drains, vacant ground, wharves, piers, landing places, and other things as shall in the judgment of the Governor be necessary to be done for the purposes of this Ordinance.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH APRIL, 1889.

6. All the land and foreshore and bed of the sea to be- reclaimed under this Ordinance, and all the land occupied by the present Praya road-way and wall along the line of the intended reclamation, is hereby declared to be absolutely the property of the Crown, free from any restriction whatever, and the Governor shall have power, subject to the provisions of this Ordinance, to deal with the same and to dispose of the same for building or any other purpose in the same way and to as full an extent as in the case of other Crown lands; and all property, estate, rights or supposed rights and ease- ments or supposed easements of any persons or class of persons, whether Crown leaseholders or licensees or other- wise, to the user or possession or occupation of, in, over or in any way in relation to such land, foreshore, bed of the sea embankment, reclamation or praya road-way and wall, or in relation to any wharf, landing place, pier or other place, situate thereupon, are hereby declared to be absolutely extinguished and determined.

7. Whereas the Crown lessees or their assigns re- gistered in the Land Registry Office at the date of the commencement of this Ordinance in respect of the lots of land or sections thereof fronting the Praya Roadway along the line of the proposed reclamation (which persons with their executors, administrators and assigns except where repugnant to the context are hereinafter referred to as lessees) or the majority of them have already declared or signified their readiness to contribute towards the cost to be incurred for and in connection with the works authorised by this Ordinance provided the Governor will grant to them respectively Crown leases of such equitable proportion of the proposed reclamation as may be available having regard to public requirements in respect of the roads and streets to be made on the land when reclaimed and in the case of each lessee having regard to the claims of other lessees and whereas it has been agreed that the cost of the said works shall also include a sum not exceeding $5,000 for preliminary expenses, a sum not exceeding $180,000 by way of compensation to owners and occupiers of Wharves and Piers along the line of the proposed reclamation and a further sum not exceeding $104,000 for the purchase of portion of the land in course of reclamation opposite Marine Lots Nos. 95, 96, 97, 98 and 105. Be it further enacted as follows:

(i.) As soon as practicable after the commencement of this Ordinance, a further plan signed by the Surveyor General and countersigned by the Governor, showing; in detail the portion of the proposed reclamation assigned to lessees in respect of the lots of land or sections thereof registered in their names at the Land Registry Office at the date of the commencement of this Ordinance, shall be deposited at the said Office and shall have annexed thereto a Schedule containing a list of the lessees of such lots of land and sections as aforesaid and the ap- proximate contribution required from each of them in respect of the cost of his portion of the reclamation.

(ii.) The deposit of such further plan as aforesaid shall be notified in the Gazette, a copy of the said Schedule being published at the same time, and lessees who are desirous of entering into the agreement hereafter mentioned shall within a period of two months from the date of such notification, signify respectively in writing their acceptance of the portions of the land assigned to them on the said plan and of their intention to enter into an agreement.

(iii.) On the expiration of two months from the date of such notification as aforesaid and within further period of one month it shall be lawful for the Governor if he think fit to enter into an agree- ment with the lessees individually who have signified their intention and acceptance as aforesaid, such agreement being upon the terms and subject to the conditions in the form in the Schedule to this Ordinance; and the Governor is hereby empowered to dispose of the reclaimed land in accordance therewith.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH APRIL, 1889.

(iv.) Notwithstanding any such agreement as afore-

said shall have been signed by any lessee, if any error in quantity or area of land agreed to be granted shall be discovered by either party thereto prior to the granting of a Crown lease of such land it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to rectify and readjust the same and to grant a less or greater portion of land as the case may be, and to alter accordingly of the lessees contribution: Provided always that the lessee, if his portion of land is diminished, shall have the option, if he so elect, of cancelling the said agreement and thereupon all moneys he shall have already paid shall be refunded. (v.) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Sche- dule to be deposited in the said Office as aforesaid or in any agreement entered into in pursuance of this Ordinance no lessee shall (save as provided by subsection (vii) of this section) be liable for more than the actual cost of the reclamation of the land agreed to be granted to him and of all works authorised by this Ordinance in connection therewith (such actual cost in case of doubt to be decided by the Governor in Council) and if such cost shall exceed or be less than the amount estimated or named in such Schedule or any agreement as aforesaid the lessee shall bear and pay such excess or be entitled to the benefit of such less sum and to a proportionate refund.

(vi.) In case any lessee shall not signify his acceptance in the manner and within the time provided in sub-section (ii) of this section he shall have no claim to any compensation in respect of any depreciation of his lot by reason of the said works, but the Governor may if he thinks fit award to him such a sum of money or such a Crown Lease of new land as he may in his abso- lute discretion think sufficient as and by way of compensation for any injury that such lot-holder may have sustained by the said works. (vii.) If from time to time before the completion of the said works any extraordinary loss, damage or expense is caused to or rendered necessary for the said works or for any portion thereof by or in consequence of any unforeseen difficul- ties that may present themselves in the progress of the said works or by or in consequence of any typhoon or storm or other catastrophe such loss, damage or expense shall when it has been ascertained by the Surveyor General and certified by him to the Governor in Council, be made good by the lessees who have entered into agree- ments in pursuance of this section such lessees contributing such a proportion of the sum re- quired, as the Surveyor General shall certify to be equivalent to the proportion which the. amount of the lessee's contribution mentioned in his agreement bears to the total cost of the said works.

(viii.) So much of the cost of the said works as shall not be contributed by the lessees under the provisions of this Ordinance shall be defrayed out of the Public Revenues of the Colony. 8. Except as in this Ordinance provided, no marine lot- holder or other person shall be entitled as against the Crown to any damages or compensation for the depreciation or injurious affecting of his property or business caused by, or resulting either directly or remotely, from any of the said works.

9. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be deemed to recog- nise any foreshore rights whatever as against the Crown; nor shall anything herein be deemed to affect any right or claim as between lessees and their sub-lessees or tenants inter se.

10. From and after the completion of the embankment authorized by this Ordinance, the Governor shall keep and maintain the seawall thereof and all the Public Roads there- on out of monies to be provided from the public revenues of the Colony: Save as aforesaid, the Governor shall not be liable to any deterioration, subsidence, or damage of and to the said embankment.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 177.

　　　The following Report of the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol for the year 1888, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 18th instant, is published for general information.

By Command.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th April, 1889.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

No. 20.

COLONIAL SECRETARY,

GAOL SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 21st January, 1889.

I beg to forward herewith Annual Statistical Return of Victoria Gaol for 1888.

　　　2. I have in previous reports referred to the successful results achieved in England by the com- bination of deterrent and reformatory Prison discipline-the number of crimes and the criminal class-as steadily decreasing there as the population increases. The condition of Hongkong is indeed as I have before observed very different from that of England in as much as the amount of crime and criminal population here is as much or more dependent on the prosperity or the reverse of neighbouring Chinese territory as on the administration of our criminal law and the deterrent and reformatory nature of our Prison administration. For these reasons a reduction in the numbers of criminals confined in gaol, is no more necessarily to be credited to a judicious deterrent and reformatory Prison discipline, than an increase is necessarily to be debited to laxity of Prison discipline.

　　　3. But to whatever causes it may be due, it must be satisfactory to Government to know that the number of criminals confined in Gaol has been of late decreasing, while the population is known to be steadily increasing. From Return Y. 13 it will be observed that the daily average number of Prisoners confined in Victoria Gaol during 1888 is less than it has been for the last ten years. The daily average number in 1888 was 531, in the previous year 1887 it was 584. A very slight portion of this reduc- tion may be owing to the circumstance of Government having released a certain number of gamblers and unlicensed hawkers a few days before the expiration of their short sentences, but this difference would be very trifling, and if we compare the number of committals during these two years, nearly the same proportions are established in 1889, 3,627 persons were committed; in 1887 the number was 4,308.

　　　4. The Ordinance under which Criminals who earn remission of portion of their sentence are now liable to be placed under Police supervision, cannot I believe fail to do much good. It has, however, as I am informed on enquiry, been too short a time in operation to give any reliable results. Many of these persons have, I understand, left the Colony, rather than remain under Police supervision- certainly no loss to the community-and it is satisfactory to know that none of the discharged Prisoners placed under Police supervision have returned to Gaol during the year.

Subordinate Staff.

　　　5. The conduct of the subordinate Gaol staff during the year has been very satisfactory. These Officers have generally been zealous and painstaking, they have been judicious and forbearing in their intercourse with Prisoners, illicit dealings between Turnkeys and Prisoners, so frequent some years ago, have within the last two or three years as I believe entirely ceased. The low pay of most of the Gaol staff leads however to the result that constant changes are occurring, as able officers are constantly on the look-out for other and better paid employment and there are therefore always a large number of Probationers to be instructed in their duties. As it has been proposed in the Estimates of this to increase the pay of the staff, it is hoped this evil will be diminished. It may be possible in time to obtain a certain number of Prison officials trained in English Prisons, who, like the Police would have to be engaged for a period of at least three years. At present the Gaol Staff have all been trained and taught their duties in this Prison.

Prison Buildings.

year

　　　6. These remain as formerly reported. The disadvantages of overcrowding in associated wards and of deficient space for workshops are obvious and have been reported on year by year, and I have annually repeated my opinion that the separate system is essential to efficient deterrent and reformatory Prison discipline.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH APRIL, 1889.

Prisoners and their discipline.

343

　　　7. The number of Prison offences continues large in comparison with those of English Prisons but their number is decreasing and much less than in previous years, and it is satisfactory to observe that the more serious offences have much diminished. During the year there have been 4,414 Prison offences to an average of 531 Prisoners giving a little over 8 offences for each Prisoner during the year; the lowest

the lowest average attained for many years past. On the last day of the year 140. Prisoners had been free of Prison punishment for upwards of three months, among these 35 had been free of punishment for upwards of a year.

8. I append as usual Returns showing the number of punishments during the year for the most common offences. Similar Returns for the last three years being shown alongside for the sake of comparison.

9. During the year there were three cases of insubordination towards and assaults on officers of the Gaol (included in Return B.) a marked diminution of such offences as compared with previous years. The offenders were tried and awarded corporal punishment.

　　　10. The risk of conspiracies and combinations among Prisoners, I have adverted to in former reports as always existing with a lot of criminals sleeping in association. As in previous years so during the last year we have had proof of this in two desperate attempts of large number to escape from chain gang. The stricter the Gaol discipline the more anxious Prisoners will be to try and effect an escape on the last occasion, on the 18th September those attempting to escape were re-captured, but unfortunately in the struggle the lives of one trustworthy warder and of two Prisoners were lost, while four other Prisoners were wounded but recovered A full report of the circumstances was sub- mitted at the time.

Industrial Labour.

11. The Chain gang on Public Works has been working during the year with an average strength of 50 or 60 Prisoners--less than last year. I had to reduce one and sometimes two of the six gangs owing to scarcity of Officers many of whom were on the sick list during the year, the work was carried on at a considerable distance about three miles from the Gaol, the work done was not very satisfactory and has now been suspended. After the experience of the year I trust it will not be resumed until the introduction of the separate system.

　　　12. As to other industrial work we are much hampered by want of space, having to utilize veran- dahs and passages as workshops. But the industries of Coir, yarn work, shoe-making and book-binding have been increased, I append the usual Returns of Gaol Industrial work.

(2.) A fugitive criminal, who has been accused of an offence within British Jurisdiction not being an offence for which bis surrender is demanded, or who is undergoing sentence under any convic- tion in the Colony, shall not be surrendered until after he has been discharged whether by acquittal or on expiration of his sentence or otherwise.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 4th May, 1889.

FREDERICK STewart, Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

We find that the British Steam-ship Afghan, official No. 78,572 of Rochester, of which THOMAS GOLDING, whose certificate as Master is No. 07,595, was Master, left Nagasaki on 7th April, and experienced thick weather to Turnabout.

That from Turnabout the weather continued thick, and that on the morning of 12th April at about 8 o'clock, the ship struck on N.E. Head of Lema Island.

That she immediately came off and although the bottom was damaged in the Fore Peak, no other serious damage appears to have been sustained.

We are of opinion that the Master appears to have navigated his vessel in a seamanlike and proper manner, and when a casualty was inevitable to have done all in his power.

The casualty appears to have been brought about through the ship being about 10 miles south of her supposed position and the Master having been deceived by the weather, estimating that he could see further than was the case.

We are however of opinion that the Master would have shown more prudence if he had made freer use of his lead, but we do not consider this omission amounted to a default.

That the Court seeing no grounds for blaming the conduct of the Master, returns his certificate, to him.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 26th day of April, 1889.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4T MAY, 1889.

OFFICIAL PROGRAMME..

It is intended to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Foundation of the Colony of New Zealand, by holding in the City of Dunedin an Exhibition of arts, industries, resources, and manners of New Zealand, Australia, and the other Countries and Colonies in the Southern Pacific.

The principal objects of this Exhibition are to practically illustrate the development of the resources of New Zealand during the first half century of her existence, in comparison with the progress made by other Colonies, British and Foreign; to stimulate industry and promote Intercolonial commerce; to strengthen the natural ties which connect all the Countries in the South Pacific Ocean, and to call attention to their position and potentialities.

The recent improvement in the commercial condition of New Zealand, and the prospect of pros- perity immediately before her, offers special opportunities for the development of industry and the extension of Intercolonial commerce; whilst many considerations point to the desirability of bringing the importance of the South Sea Islands into notice, and cultivating a closer acquaintance with their peoples.

　　　The Exhibition is held by, and at the risk of a number of New Zealand colonists. who have sub- scribed a Guarantee Fund for the purpose, after the model of those upon which the Great Exhibition of 1851, the London International Exhibition of 1862, and the Adelaide Jubilee Exhibition of 1887 were carried out.

　　　The Government of New Zealand have recognised this Exhibition as the Official Celebration of the Jubilee of the Colony, and issued invitations to the Governments of Australia and the other Colonies and Islands in the Southern Pacific to be officially represented thereat. They have further. undertaken to assist the Exhibition by erecting the main building, which will contain the picture galleries, and themselves exhibiting collections illustrating the fauna, flora, geology, and mineralogy of New Zealand, as well as objects of historical interest. The Government will also with the assistance of the native chiefs, organise a representation of Maori life and customs.

　　　The Commissioners invite exhibits of all kinds from all Colonies, British and Foreign, wheresoever ?situated, as well as from Islands under British rule in the South Pacific. They are also desirous of obtaining Works of Art, Educational, Scientific, and Machinery Exhibits from other countries; but ordinary Industrial Exhibits from Europe and America can only be admitted under spec tions. Inducements will be offered for the exhibition of processes of manufacture.

Condi-

With the consent and support of the other chief cities of New Zealand, the Exhibition will be held in Dunedin, which is the centre of the railway system of the southern and most populous island of the Colony. A suitable site has been obtained in the heart of the town, close to the railway station and intercolonial wharves. A line of railway will deliver exhibits into the grounds.

　　The Exhibition will be open to the public on Tuesday, 26th November, 1889, and close about the middle of April, 1890. It will be open in the evening as well as the day time.

The Government will issue customs regulations for the free admission of Intercolonial and Foreign Exhibits, similar to those in force at Melbourne and other Intercolonial Exhibitions, and similar rail- way privileges will be allowed for exhibits. The reproduction of exhibits will be prohibited by law.

CONDITIONS AND REGULATIONS.

1. Governments intending to take part in this Exhibition are requested to intimate the same as soon as possible. Applications for space for exhibits from Colonies officially represented must be made through the Commissioners of the Colonies to which the applicant belongs. Applications from countries and colonies not officially represented should be addressed directly to the Secre- tary at Dunedin.

2. Applications for space, with full particulars, are invited as early as possible, and in the allotment of space precedence will be given, as far as possible, to priority of application. No application will be received later than the 1st of July, 1889. Forms of application and all information can be obtained from the Secretary.

3. The ordinary charge for space will be ￡1 1s for the first ten square feet or any less space, and a shilling for every additional square foot. Sculpture and paintings approved by the Fine Arts Committee will be admitted free, as well as educational and scientific exhibits shown by Go- vernment departments, and exhibits in Classes 34 and 35. Machinery and bulky. exhibits will be shown in special annexes, in which space will be charged for at the reduced rate of ￡1 1s for the first 20 feet, and sixpence for every additional foot. Wall space will be charged at the same rate as machinery. All applications must be accompanied by payment of the full amount of the space required. Special arrangements can be made for the exhibition of articles in the grounds.

5. The Executive. Commissioner may issue at his discretion weekly licenses for the sale of articles manufactured in the Exhibition, but no other exhibit will be allowed to be taken out of the buildings until the close of the Exhibition; and any exhibitor selling goods for immediate de- livery renders himself liable to the forfeiture of his space and all rights as an exhibitor.

10. The protection of invention capable of being patented and of designs is secured by the patent law of New Zealand.

An Ordinance to amend the law relating to the Extradition of Chinese Criminals.

HIEREAS by Article XXI. of the Treaty between Her Majesty and the Emperor of China done at Tientsin on the 26th June, 1858, it was agreed and con- cluded that if criminals, subjects of China, shall take refuge in Hongkong, or on board the British ships there they shall, upon due requisition by the Chinese authorities, be searched for, and on proof of their guilt, be delivered up; and whereas it is expedient to amend the law for the more effective carrying out of the said treaty in relation to the surrender of criminals, subjects of China, who take refuge in Hongkong, or on board the British ships there: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as The Chinese Extradition Ordinance, 1889.

2. Ordinances No. 2 of 1850 and No. 2 of 1871 are hereby repealed, but such repeal shall not affect anything done or suffered or any proceedings for the surrender of a criminal commenced under the said Ordinances or either of them before the coming into operation of this Ordinance and such proceedings may be completed and the criminal surrendered as if this Ordinance had not come into opera- tion.

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to amend the law relating to the Extradition of Chinese Criminals.

1. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as The Chinese Extradition Ordinance, 1889.

2. Ordinances No. 2 of 1850 and No. 2 of 1871 are hereby repealed, but such repeal shall not affect anything done or suffered or any proceedings for the surrender of a criminal commenced under the said Ordinances or either of them before the coming into operation of this Ordinance and such proceedings may be completed and the criminal surrendered as if this Ordinance had not come into opera- tion.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MAY, 1889.

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

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

(2.) A fugitive criminal, who has been accused of an offence within British Jurisdiction not being an offence for which his surrender is demanded, or who is undergoing sentence under any convic- tion in the Colony, shall not be surrendered until after he has been discharged whether by acquittal or on expiration of his sentence or otherwise.

(3.) A fugitive criminal shall not in any case be sur- rendered unless an engagement is given by the Chinese Government that he shall not until he has been restored or had an opportunity of re- turning to Her Majesty's Dominions be detained or tried in China for any offence committed before his surrender other than the extradition crime on which the surrender is demanded.

6. Every fugitive criminal, who is in Hongkong, shall be liable to be apprehended and surrendered in manner provided by this Ordinance, whether the crime in respect

of which the surrender is demanded was committed before or after the passing of this Ordinance, and whether there, is or is not any concurrent jurisdiction in any Court in the Colony over that crime.

7. Whenever a requisition for a surrender of a fugitiv? criminal, who is in, or suspected of being in Hongkong, is made to the Governor by some officer of the Chinese Government, the Governor may, by order under his hand and scal, signify to a Magistrate that such requisition has been made, and require him to issue his warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive criminal.

The Magistrate shall receive any evidence which may be tendered to show that the crime of which the prisoner is accused, is an offence of a political character, or is not an extradition crime.

11. If at the hearing before a Magistrate such evidence is produced as would subject to the provisions of this Ordi- nance justify the committal of the fugitive criminal for trial at the Supreme Court if the crime of which he is accused had been committed in the Colony, the Magistrate shall commit him to Victoria Gaol to await the further order of the Governor but otherwise shall order him to be discharged. If the Magistrate commits the fugitive criminal to Vic- toria Gaol, he shall thereupon inform the fugitive criminal that he will not be surrendered until after the expiration of fifteen days from the date of such committal and that he has a right to apply to the Supreme Court for a writ of Habeas Corpus, and such Magistrate shall forthwith send to the Governor the depositions and other evidence in the case together with such report thereon as he thinks fit.

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

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

14. Except where any proceedings are actually pending upon a writ of Habeas Corpus before the Supreme Court and in such case with the concurrence in writing of the Judge having cognizance thereof, the Governor may at any time by order under his hand and seal discharge a fugitive criminal from custody.

15. If a fugitive criminal who has been committed to prison under this Ordinance to await the order of the Governor is not surrendered and conveyed out of the Colony within two months after such committal, or if a writ of Habeas Corpus has issued, and upon the return of the writ the fugitive criminal has not been discharged any Judge of the Supreme Court may upon application made to him by or on behalf of the fugitive criminal and upon proof that reasonable notice of the intention to make such application has been given to the Crown. Solicitor, order the fugitive criminal to be discharged out of custody unless sufficient cause is shown to the contrary.

16. Depositions or statements on oath or affirmations taken in China and copies thereof shall if duly authenticated be received in evidence in proceedings under this Ordinance. Such depositions statements or affirmations and copies thereof shall be deemed to be duly authenticated for the purpose of this Ordinance if they purport to be certified under the hand of the Judge Magistrate or Officer before whom they were taken to be the original depositions state- ments or affirmations or to be true copies thereof as the case may require and if they are sealed with the official seal of some Officer of State in China and all Courts in the Colony shall for the purposes of this Ordinance take judicial notice of such seal and shall admit the documents so authenticated by it without further proof.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MAY, 1889.

17. Every person who is accused or convicted of having counselled procured commanded aided or abetted the com- mission of any extradition crime or of being accessory before the fact to any extradition crime shall be deemed for the purposes of this Ordinance to be 'accused or convicted of having committed such crime and shall be liable to be apprehended and surrendered accordingly.

No. 16 OF 1889.

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hong- kong, with the advice and consent of the Legis- lative Council thereof, to carry out a scheme for the Reclamation of the foreshore opposite the City of Victoria.

G. WILLIAM DES VOUX.

[10th May, 1889.]

HEREAS the foreshore of the Harbour of Victoria is in process of silting up to the detriment of the health and commerce of the Colony, and it is expedient to put a stop to such process and to provide a deep water frontage; and whereas the area of level laud for building and for roads and quays and open spaces along the sea front of the City of Victoria is insufficient to meet the growing wants of the Colony, and it is expedient to enlarge the same: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as The Praya Reclamation Ordinance, 1889.

3. Subject to the provisions and, for the purposes of this Ordinance, it shall be lawful for the Governor to carry out the works authorized by this Ordinance according to the plan and drawings deposited in the Land Registry Office signed by the Surveyor General and countersigned by the Governor, and such plan and drawings shall remain in the said Office and shall be open to public inspection at con- venient hours.

The works shall be commenced forthwith and shall pro- ceed without unnecessary interruption or delay until com- pletion and the Governor is hereby authorized to appoint. a competent officer to superintend and a competent staff to assist in carrying out the said works and to procure and obtain such plant, machinery materials and things as may be necessary for the said works. The salaries of such officer and staff and the cost of such plant, machinery, materials and things shall be defrayed as part of the costs of the said works in manner hereinafter provided.

4. The works authorized by this Ordinance comprise the following, that is to say:

(a.) The making of an embankment along the harbour front of the City of Victoria with all necessary and convenient walls, drains, wharves, piers, landing places, approaches and other conveniences and works; such embankment to commence Westward at a point upon the sea-shore opposite Marine Lot No. 188 and marked upon the said plan, and to terminate Eastward at a point opposite to Murray

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 11TH MAY, 1889.

Pier; the said embankment to be constructed in whole or in greater part upon the bed or foreshore of the harbour.

(b.) The making upon the said' embankment of a public road-way not less than seventy-five feet, and the widening out of the present Praya road- way to a width of not less than seventy-five fect, with all necessary and convenient approaches to the same.

(c.) The reclaiming and enclosing and filling up so much of the foreshore and bed of the Harbour as lies between the present Praya Wall and the intended embankment, to such heights and levels as may be determined by the Governor. 5. For the purpose of effecting the works authorized by this Ordinance it shall be lawful for the Governor to remove, destroy, alter, divert, stop up, or enclose such streets, drains, vacant ground, wharves, piers, landing places, and other things as shall in the judgment of the Governor be necessary to be done for the purposes of this Ordinance.

7. Whereas the Crown lessees or their assigns re- gistered in the Land Registry Office at the date of the commencement of this Ordinance in respect of the lots of land or sections thereof fronting the Praya Roadway along the line of the proposed reclamation (which persons with their executors, administrators and assigns except where repugnant to the context are hereinafter referred to as lessees) or the majority of them have already declared or signified their readiness to contribute towards the cost to be incurred for and in connection with the works authorized by this Ordinance provided the Governor will grant to them respectively Crown leases of such equitable proportion of the proposed reclamation as may be available having regard to public requirements in respect of the roads and streets fo be made on the land when reclaimed and in the case of each lessee having regard to the claims of other lessees and whereas it has been agreed that the cost of the said works shall also include a sum not exceeding $5,000 for preliminary expenses, a sum not exceeding $180,000 by way of compensation to owners and occupiers of Wharves and Piers along the line of the proposed reclamation and a further sum not exceeding $105,000 for the purchase of a portion of the land in course of reclamation opposite Marine Lots Nos. 95, 96, 97, 98 and 105. Be it further enacted as follows:-

(i.) As soon as practicable after the commencement of this Ordinance, a further plan signed by the Surveyor General and countersigned by the Governor, showing in detail the portion of the proposed reclamation assigned to lessees in respect of the lots of land or sections thereof registered in their names at the Land Registry Office at the date of the commencement of this Ordinance, shall be deposited at the said Office and shall have annexed thereto a Schedule containing a list of the lessees of such lots of land and sections as aforesaid and the ap- proximate contribution required from each of them in respect of the cost of his portion of the reclamation.

(viii.) So much of the cost of the said works as shall not be contributed by the lessees under the provisions of this Ordinance shall be defrayed out of the Public Revenues of the Colony.

　　SIR, I have the honour to transmit to you, for publication in the Colony under your Government, a copy of a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation between Her Majesty and the United States of Mexico, signed at Mexico on the 27th of November, 1888, the ratifications of which were exchanged at Mexico on the 11th of February last.

I have the honour to be,

The Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

? ? KNUTSFORD.

Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation between Her Majesty and the United States of Mexico.

Signed at Mexico, November 27, 1888.

[Ratifications exchanged at Mexico, February 11, 1889.]

HER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and his Excellency the President of the United States of Mexico, being desirous of maintaining and strengthening friendly relations, and of promoting commercial intercourse between the dominions of Her Britannic Majesty and the territories of the Mexican Republic, have resolved to conclude a Treaty of Friendship, Com- merce, and Navigation, and have named as their Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:

Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland; Sir Spenser St. John, Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni- potentiary of Her Britannic Majesty in Mexico;

And his Excellency the President of the United States of Mexico, Senor Senador Don Emilio Velasco, ex-Minister Plenipotentiary of Mexico in France, &c., &c., &c. ;

　　Who, after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the following Articles :-

ARTICLE I.

There shall be perfect peace and sincere friendship between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the United States of Mexico. The High Contracting Parties shall use their best endeavours that this friendship and good understanding may be constantly and perpetually maintained.

ARTICLE II.

The Contracting Parties agree that, in all matters relating to commerce and navigation, any pri- vilege, favour, or immunity whatever, which either Contracting Party has actually granted, or may hereafter grant, to the subjects or citizens of any other State, shall be extended immediately and unconditionally to the subjects or citizens of the other Contracting Party, it being their intention that the trade and navigation of each country shall be placed, in all respects, by the other on the footing of the most favoured nation.

ARTICLE III.

The produce and manufactures of the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty which are imported into the United States of Mexico, and the produce and manufactures of Mexico which are imported into the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, whether intended for con- sumption, warehousing, re-exportation, or transit, shall be treated in the same manner as, and, in particular, shall be subjected to no higher or other duties, whether general, municipal, or local, than the produce, manufactures, and goods of any third country the most favoured in this respect. No other or higher duties shall be levied in Mexico on the exportation of any goods to the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, or in the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty on the exportation of any goods to Mexico, than may be levied on the exportation of the like goods to any third country the most favoured in this respect.

476,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST JUNE, 1889.

Neither of the Contracting Parties shall establish a prohibition of importation, exportation, re- exportation, or transit against the other which shall not, under like circumstances, be applicable to any hird country the most favoured in this respect.

　　　In like manner, in all that relates to local dues, customs, formalities, brokerage, patterns, or tsamples introduced by commercial travellers, and all other matters connected with trade, British sub- jects in Mexico, and Mexican citizens in the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, shall enjoy most-favoured-nation treatment.

In the event of any changes being made in Mexican laws, Customs Tariff or Regulations, suffi- cient notice shall be given, in order to enable British subjects to make the necessary arrangements for meeting them.

　　　The Mexican authorities shall, moreover, deal equitably with all cases arising from unintentional ignorance of any of the changes above mentioned.

ARTICLE IV.

British ships and their cargoes shall, in Mexico, and Mexican vessels and their cargoes shall, in the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, from whatever place arriving, and whatever may be the place of origin or destination of their cargoes, be treated in every respect as ships and cargoes of the most favoured nation.

The preceding stipulation applies to local treatment, dues, and charges in the ports, basins, docks, roadsteads, harbours, and rivers of the two countries, pilotage, and, generally, to all matters connected with navigation.

Every favour or exemption in these respects, or any other privilege in matters of navigation, which either of the Contracting Parties shall grant to a third Power, shall be extended immediately and unconditionally to the other Party.

All vessels which, according to British law, are to be deemed British vessels, and all vessels which, according to the law of Mexico, are to be deemed Mexican vessels, shall, for the purposes of this Treaty, be respectively deemed British or Mexican vessels.

For the same purpose shall be considered as ports of each of the Contracting Parties those which are, or hereafter may be, declared open by the respective Governments for import or export trade.

The two Contracting Parties agree to consider, as a limit of their territorial waters on their res- pective coasts, the distance of 3 marine leagues reckoned from the line of low water mark. Never- theless, this stipulation shall have no effect, excepting in what may relate to the observance and appli- cation of the Custom-house Regulations and the measures for preventing smuggling, and cannot be extended to other questions of civil or criminal jurisdiction, or of international maritime law.

ARTICLE V.

The subjects or citizens of each of the Contracting Parties shall be permitted to reside, perma- nently or temporarily, in the dominions or possessions of the other, and to occupy and hire houses and warehouses for purposes of commerce, whether wholesale or retail. They shall also be at full liberty to exercise civil rights, and therefore to acquire, possess, and dispose of every description of property, movable and immovable, as far as the laws of each country will permit. They may acquire and transmit the same to others, whether by purchase, sale, donation, exchange, marriage, testament, succession ab intestato, and in any other manner, under the same conditions as natives of the country. Their heirs and legal representatives may succeed to and take possession of it, either in person or by procurators, in the same manner and in the same legal forms as natives of the country.

In none of these respects shall they pay upon the value of such property any other or higher impost, duty, or charge than is payable by natives of the country.

In every case the subjects or citizens of the Contracting Parties shall be permitted to export their property, or the proceeds thereof, if sold, freely and without being subjected on such exportation to pay any duty different from that to which natives of the country are liable under similar circumstances.

The citizens or subjects of each one of the Contracting Parties, who may be residing, temporarily or permanently, in the dominions and possessions of the other, are subject to the laws of the country where they reside, especially to those which determine the rights and obligations of foreigners, on the same conditions as those of the citizens or subjects of the most favoured nation.

ARTICLE VI.

The dwellings, manufactories, warehouses, and shops of the subjects or citizens of each of the Contracting Parties in the dominions and possessions of the other, and all premises appertaining there- to, destined for purposes of residence or commerce, shall be respected.

It shall not be allowable to proceed to make a search of, or a domiciliary visit to, such dwellings and premises, or to examine or inspect books, papers, or accounts, except under the conditions and with the forms prescribed by the laws for natives of the country.

The subjects or citizens of each of the two Contracting Parties in the dominions and possessions of the other shall have free access to the Courts of Justice for the prosecution and defence of their rights, without other conditions, restrictions, or taxes beyond those imposed on natives of the country, and shall, like them, be at liberty to employ, in all causes, their advocates, attorneys, or agents from among the persons admitted to the exercise of those professions according to the laws of the country.

????

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST JUNE, 1889.

ARTICLE VII.

477

　　The subjects or citizens of each of the Contractiug Parties in the dominions and possessions of the other shall be exempted from all compulsory military service whatever, whether in the army, navy, or national guard, or militia. They shall likewise be exempted from all contributions, whether pecuniary or in kind, imposed as a compensation for personal service, and, finally, from forced loans, and from charges, requisitions, and war contributions, unless imposed on real property, when they shall pay them equally with nationals.

ARTICLE VIII.

The subjects or citizens of either of the two Contracting Parties residing in the dominions and possessions of the other shall enjoy, in regard to their houses, persons, and properties, the protection of the Government in as full and ample a manner as the subjects or citizens of the most favoured nation. In like manner the subjects or citizens of each Contracting Party shall enjoy in the dominions and possessions of the other full liberty of conscience, and shall not be molested on account of their religious belief.

ARTICLE IX.

　　The subjects or citizens of each of the Contracting Parties shall have, in the dominions and possessions of the other, the same rights as natives, or as subjects or citizens of the most favoured nation, in regard to patents for inventions, trademarks, and designs, upon fulfilment of the formalities prescribed by law.

ARTICLE X.

　　Each of the Contracting Parties may appoint Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, Pro-Consuls, and Consular Agents to reside respectively in towns or ports in the dominions and possessions of the other Power, each one of them reserving the right of excepting those places where it may not appear convenient to admit them whenever this exception is extended to the Consular functionaries of all

other nations.

Such Consular officers, however, shall not enter upon their functions until after they shall have been approved and admitted in the usual form by the Government to which they are sent. They shall exercise whatever functions, and enjoy whatever privileges, exemptions, and immunities are, or may hereafter be, granted there to Consular officers of the most favoured nation.

The archives and official papers of Consular functionaries shall be respected as inviolable, without the authorities of the country being able, on any account, to seize them, or take note of their contents.

ARTICLE XI.

　　The Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, and Consular Agents of each of the Contracting Parties, residing in the dominions and possessions of the other, shall receive from the local authorities such assistance as can by law be given to them for the recovery of deserters from the vessels of their respective countries.

ARTICLE XII.

　　Any ship of war or merchant-vessel of either of the Contracting Parties which may be compelled by stress of weather, or by accident, to take shelter in a port of the other shall be at liberty to refit therein, to procure all necessary stores, and to continue their voyage without paying any dues other than such as would be payable in a similar case by a national vessel. In case, however, the master of a merchant-vessel should be under the necessity of disposing of a part of his merchandize in order to defray his expenses, he shall be bound to conform to the Regulations and Tariffs of the place to which he may have come.

　　If any ship of war or merchant-vessel of one of the Contracting Parties should run aground, or be wrecked within the territory of the other, such ship or vessel, and all parts thereof, and all furniture and appurtenances belonging thereunto, and all goods and merchandize saved therefrom, including any which may have been cast out of the ship, or the proceeds thereof if sold, as well as all papers found on board such stranded or wrecked ship or vessel, shall be given up to the owners or their agents when claimed by them within the period fixed by the laws of the country; and such owners or agents shall pay only the expenses incurred in the preservation of the property, together with the salvage or other expenses which would have been payable in the like case of a wreck of a national vessel.

　　The goods and merchandize saved from the wreck shall be exempt from all duties of customs unless cleared for consumption, in which case they shall pay the same rate of duty as if they had been imported in a national vessel.

　　In the case either of a vessel being driven in by stress of weather, run aground, or wrecked, the respective Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, and Consular Agents shall, if the owner or master or other agent of the owner is not present, or is present and requires it, be authorized to interpose in order to afford the necessary assistance to their fellow-countrymen.

478

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST JUNE, 1889.

ARTICLE XIII.

For the better security of commerce between the subjects of Her Britannic Majesty and the citizens of the United States of Mexico, it is agreed that, if at any time any interruption of friendly intercourse or any rupture should unfortunately take place between the two Contracting Parties, the subjects or citizens of either of the said Contracting Parties who may be residing in the dominions or territories of the other, or who may be established there, in the exercise of any trade or special employment, shall have the privilege of remaining and continuing such trade or employment, without any manner of interruption, in full enjoyment of their liberty and property, so long as they behave peacefully and commit no offence against the laws; and their goods, property, and effects, of whatever description they may be, whether in their own custody, or intrusted to individuals, or to the State, shall not be liable to seizure or sequestration, or to any other charges or demands than those which may be made upon the like goods, property, and effects belonging to native subjects or citizens. Should they, however, prefer to leave the country, they shall be allowed to make arrangements for the safe keeping of their goods, property, and effects, or to dispose of them, and to liquidate their accounts; and a safe- conduct shall be given them to embark at the ports which they shall themselves select.

of the Army.

[11th April 1889.]

HEREAS the raising or keeping of a standing army within the United Kingdom

of Great Britain and Ireland in time of peace, unless it be with the consent of

Parliament, is against law :

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

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

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

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

And whereas the Army Act, 1881, will expire in the year one thousand eight 44 & 45 Vict. hundred and eighty-nine on the following days:

(a.) In the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man, on

the thirtieth day of April; and

(b.) Elsewhere in Europe, inclusive of Malta, also in the West Indies and

America, on the thirty-first day of July; and

(c.) Elsewhere, whether within or without Her Majesty's dominions, on the

thirty-first day of December:

Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Amendments of Army Act, 1881.

4. Whereas by section one hundred and thirty-five of the Army Act, 1881, pro- vision is made for a difference between the treatment of prisoners convicted of breaches of discipline and the treatment of prisoners convicted of offences of an immoral, dishonest, shameful, or criminal character, and it is expedient to make provision for treating per- sons sentenced to be discharged from the service with ignominy in the same manner as the latter class of those prisoners: Be it therefore enacted, that in the said section after the words "criminal character" shall be added the words "or sentenced to be discharged "from the service with ignominy."

5. Whereas doubts have arisen as to the effect of certain provisions of section ninety-one of the Army Act, 1881, and it is expedient to remove those doubts; be it therefore enacted as follows:

(2.)

And it is expedient that this section should apply to all commissioned officers in Her Majesty's regular forces whilst on the active list, although not on full pay: Be it therefore enacted, that in that section for the words "A person who is commissioned "and in full pay as an officer in Her Majesty's regular forces," shall be substituted the words "An officer of the regular forces on the active list within the meaning of any

Royal Warrant for regulating the pay and promotion of the regular force."

HEREAS by the Extradition Acts, 1870 and 1873, it was amongst other things enacted, that where an arrangement has been made with any foreign State with respect to the surrender to such State of any fugitive criminals, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, direct that the said Acts shall apply in the case of such foreign State; and that Her Majesty may, by the same or any subse- : quent Order, limit the operation of the Order, and restrict the same to fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in the part of Her Majesty's dominions specified in the Order, and render the operation thereof subject to such conditions, exceptions, and qualifications as may be deemed expedient: and that if, by any law made after the passing of the Act of 1870 by the Legislature of any British possession, provision is made for carrying into effect within such possession the surrender of fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in such British possession, Her Majesty may, by the Order in Council applying the said Acts in the case of any foreign State, or by any subsequent Order, suspend the operation within any such British possession of the said Acts, or of any part thereof, so far as it relates to such foreign State, and so long as such Law continues in force there and no longer:

　　　And his Excellency the President of the United States of Mexico, Senor Licenciado on Emilio Velasco, ex-Minister Plenipotentiary of Mexico in France, &c., &c.;

　　　Who, after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the following Articles :--

ARTICLE. IV. ·

　　　The extradition shall not take place if the person claimed on the part of Her Majesty's Govern- ment, or the person claimed on the part of the Government of Mexico, has already been tried and discharged or punished, or is still under trial in the territory of Mexico or in the United Kingdom respectively for the crime for which his extradition is demanded.

508

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH JUNE, 1889.

ARTICLE VIII.

The requisition for extradition shall be made through the Diplomatic Agents of the High Con- tracting Parties respectively.

The requisition for the extradition of an accused person must be accompanied by a warrant of arrest issued by the competent authority of the State requiring the extradition, and by such evidence as, according to the laws of the place where the accused is found, would justify his arrest if the crime had been committed there.

If the requisition relates to a person already convicted, it must be accompanied by the sentence of condemnation passed against the convicted person by the competent Court of the State that makes the requisition for extradition.

A sentence passed in contumaciam is not to be deemed a conviction, but a person so sentenced may be dealt with as an accused person.

ARTICLE IX.

If the requisition for extradition be in accordance with the foregoing stipulations, the competent authorities of the State applied to shall proceed to the arrest of the fugitive.

ARTICLE X.

　　　A fugitive criminal may be apprehended, under a warrant issued by any Police Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other competent authority in either country, on such information or complaint, and such evidence, or after such proceedings as would, in the opinion of the authority issuing the warrant, justify the issue of a warrant if the crime had been committed or the person convicted in that part of the dominions of the two Contracting Parties in which the Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other competent authority exercises jurisdiction: provided, however, that in the United Kingdom the accused shall, in such case, be sent as speedily as possible before a Police Magistrate in London. In the Republic of Mexico the Government will decide on the extradition by administrative procedure, until a judicial procedure be established by law, when the accused will be delivered as soon as possible to the Judge designated by law. The criminal shall, in accordance with this Article, be discharged, as well in Mexico as in the United Kingdom, if within the term of thirty days a requisition for extra- dition shall not have been made by the Diplomatic Agent of his country in accordance with the stipulations of this Treaty.

The same rule shall apply to the cases of persons accused or convicted of any of the crimes or offences specified in this Treaty, and committed on the high seas on board any vessel of either country which may come into a port of the other.

ARTICLE XI.

　　　The extradition shall take place only if the evidence be found sufficient, according to the laws of the State applied to, either to justify the committal of the prisoner for trial, in case the crime had been committed in the territory of the same State, or to prove that the prisoner is the identical person con- victed by the Courts of the State which makes the requisition, and that the crime of which he has been convicted is one in respect of which extradition could, at the time of such conviction, have been granted by the State applied to; and no criminal shall be surrendered until after the expiration of fifteen days from the date of his committal to prison to await the warrant for his surrender.

ARTICLE XII.

In the examinations which they will have to make in accordance with the foregoing stipulations, the authorities of the State applied to for said extradition shall admit as valid evidence the depositions or statements of witnesses taken in the other State, under oath or under solemn affirmation to tell the truth, according as its legislation may provide, or the copies of these depositions or statements, and likewise the warrants issued and sentences pronounced in the State which demands the extradition, the certificates of the fact of the condemnation, or the judicial documents which prove it, provided the same are authenticated as follows:

1. A warrant must purport to be signed by a Judge, Magistrate, or Officer of the other State. 2. Depositions or affirmations, or the copies thereof, must purport to be certified under the hand of a Judge, Magistrate, or Officer of the other State, to be the original depositions or affirmations, or to be true copies thereof, as the case may require.

3. A certificate of, or a judicial document stating the fact of a conviction must purport to be certified by a Judge, Magistrate, or Officer of the other State.

4. In every case such warrant, deposition, affirmation, copy, certificate, or judicial document must be authenticated either by the oath of some witness, or by being sealed with the official seal of the Minister of Justice, or some other Minister of the other State; but any other mode of authenti- cation for the time being permitted by law in the State where the examination is taken may be sub- stituted for the foregoing.

ARTICLE XIII.

509

If the individual claimed by one of the two High Contracting Parties, in pursuance of the present Treaty, should be also claimed by one or several other Powers on account of other crimes or offences committed upon their respective territories, his extradition shall be granted to that State whose, demand is earliest in date.

ARTICLE XIV.

If sufficient evidence for the extradition be not produced within two months from the date of the apprehension of the fugitive, or within such further time as the State applied to, or the proper Tribunal thereof shall direct, the fugitive shall be set at liberty.

ARTICLE XV.

All articles seized which were in the possession of the person to be surrendered at the time of his apprehension shall, if the competent authority of the State applied to for the extradition has ordered the delivery of such articles, be given up when the extradition takes place; and the said delivery shall extend, not merely to the stolen articles, but to everything that may serve as a proof of the crime.

ARTICLE XVI.

All expenses connected with extradition shall be borne by the demanding State.

ARTICLE XVII.

The stipulations of the present Treaty shall be applicable to the Colonies and foreign possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, so far as the laws for the time being in force in such Colonies and foreign possessions respectively will allow.

The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in any of such Colonies or foreign possessions shall be made to the Governor or chief authority of such Colony or possession by the Chief Consular Officer of the Republic of Mexico in such Colony or possession.

Such requisition may be disposed of, subject always, as nearly as may be, and so far as the law of such Colony or foreign possession will allow, to the provisions of this Treaty, by the said Governor or chief authority, who, however, shall be at liberty either to grant the surrender or to refer the matter to his Government.

Her Britannic Majesty shall, however, be at liberty to make special arrangements in the British Colonies and foreign possessions for the surrender of Mexican criminals who may take refuge within such Colonies and foreign possessions, on the basis, as nearly as may be, and so far as the law of such Colony or foreign possession will allow, of the provisions of the present Treaty.

Requisitions for the surrender of a fugitive criminal emanating from any Colony or foreign pos- session of Her Britannic Majesty shall be governed by the rules laid down in the preceding Articles of the present Treaty.

ARTICLE XVIII.

The present Treaty shall come into force ten days after its publication, in conformity with the forms prescribed by the laws of the High Contracting Parties. It may be terminated by either of the High Contracting Parties by a notice not exceeding one year and not less than six months.

The Treaty, after receiving the approval of the Congress of Mexico, shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Mexico as soon as possible.

In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms.

Done in two originals, at the city of Mexico, the 7th day of September, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty-six.

(L.S.)

SPENSER ST. JOHN.

`(L.S.) EMILIO VELASCO.

And whereas the ratifications of the said Treaty were exchanged at Mexico on the twenty-second day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine:

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, and in virtue of the authority committed to Her by the said recited Acts, doth order, and it is hereby ordered, that from and after the nineteenth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine, the said Acts shall. apply in the case of Mexico, and of the said Treaty with the President of the United States of Mexico. Provided always, and it is hereby further ordered that the operation of the said Acts shall be suspended within the Dominion of Canada so far as relates to the United States of Mexico and to the said Treaty, and so long as the provisions of the Canadian Act aforesaid of 1886 continue in force, and no longer.

FINDING.

　　　Having heard and carefully considered the evidence given before the Court in the, presence of the accused DAVID LONGWILL as also his statement in defence, the Court finds that although the manner of the said DAVID LONGWILL towards the Master on the 10th, 11th, 22nd and 29th May appears to have been most disrespectful, it has not in the opinion of the Court been proved that it amounted to gross misconduct. and his certificate is not therefore dealt with.

The Court however in accordance with the powers contained in Sub-section 4 of Section XIII of Ordinance No. 8 of 1879 hereby directs that the said DAVID LONGWILL shall be discharged from his ship.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 18th day of June, 1889.

LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS, No. 54.

Wusung Bar Dredging Operations.

　　Notice is hereby given that on and after the 19th instant, whenever the dredger Anding is at work, or in a position for working on the Bar, symbols will be hoisted at her masthead to indicate her position relatively to the line of Bar Marks, as follows:-

ONE DIAMOND; to show that she is on the line of Bar Marks.

ONE

ONE BALL; to show that she is in a position to the North of the

line of Bar Marks.

TWO BALLS; to show that she is in a position to the South of the

line of Bar Marks.

The Anding will as a rule be moored with four, or possibly more, anchors, the positions of which will generally be marked by wooden spar buoys painted red. The buoys will be attached to the anchors by the shortest lengths of chain which it may be found practicable to use; as, however, they are liable to be carried away, or to be swept under by the current, absolute reliance cannot be placed on their being always seen.

　　　It is further notified that the depth signalled from Harbour Master's Wusung Station is the depth in the Channel in the line of the Bar Marks; allowance is not made for the height of the mushroom anchors above the level of the bed; this may be taken to be about three feet.

Night signals to indicate the depth will not be shown when the Dredger is on the Bar. It is however intended to remove her during the strong Spring tides in the summer months.

Attention is again drawn to the necessity that all steamers should go dead slow when passing the Dredger, whether she is actually at work or not; and all responsibility for damage or loss resulting from an infringement of this rule will rest with the offending vessel.

Acting Commissioner of Customs.

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.

LS G. WILLIAM DES VOUX.

[24th June, 1889.]

HEREAS the dwelling houses on certain portions of land under lease from the Crown especially in the City of Victoria are of insanitary construction as regards conditions of air and light and it is expedient that the Governor should be empowered to acquire or resume such lands and buildings compulsorily with a view to the erection of improved houses or dwellings thereon and doubts have arisen whether the resumption of such lands for the purposes aforesaid and for other purposes beneficial to the public of the Colony is within the meaning and intent of the powers of resumption for a public purpose contained in the Crown leases of such lands and it is expedient to remove such doubts and whereas it is expedient that the duty of determining the value of lands resumed for a public purpose and of fixing the com- pensation to be awarded in respect thereof under Crown leases should be transferred from the Surveyor General to a Board of Arbitrators to be approved for the purpose: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as The Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance, 1889.

2. In this Ordinance unless inconsistant with or repug- nant to the context.

The word Board shall mean any Board of Arbitrators appointed from time to time under this Ordinance.

The word Land shall mean any Crown land under lease from the Crown or any part or section thereof.

3. (i.) Whenever the Governor in Council shall decide that the resumption of any laud is expedient in the interest of the Public it shall be lawful for the Governor to enter into private negociations with the owner of any such land or any other person having any proprietary interest therein for the purchase of such land and all the right title and interest therein, and in case of the failure of such negocia- tion to give written notice that such land will be resumed on the expiration of four months from the publication of such notice, and that thereupon such compensation in respect of such resumption will be paid as may be awarded in the manner hereinafter provided.

BOTANICAL AND AFFORESTATION DEPARTMENT;

HONGKONG, 5th April, 1889.

　　SIR,-I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on the Progress and Condition of this Department for the year 1888.

ESTABLISHMENT.

典

As usual the changes amongst the workmen have been numerous, and they will, as may reasonably be expected, continue to be so while the men, after they have been with us long enough to learn their work somewhat, are able to secure higher wages elsewhere than are paid to them as garden labourers here. A few men who know some English and who would be able to acquire the names of plants cultivated are very much needed in the Gardens. It is easy to conceive the very great difficulty of successfully carrying on the routine work of a large garden without a single man, exclusive of one European, who knows the names of more than a score of plants in the Garden. This want renders the work of indicating plants, which must be done by personal visits to them when anything is required in order to point them out, a very considerable labour for those who have it to do. There is a very much felt want of more extensive and closer supervision of the multitudinous details in operations daily carried on which it is impossible at present to apply. The unusual disadvantages under which horti culture exists here necessitate much more careful and persistent management than in most other parts of the world, where nature and circumstances have been more generous in supplying favourable con- ditions and material at hand for the purposes of cultivation. As regards workmen I had hoped wheh I introduced a system of training apprentice boys that the staff would have been far more efficient by this time, but although the boys are useful merely as boys still we have not yet had very much benefit from them on the whole as trained workmen. The training the boys receive is of great advantage to themselves but their services when they are becoming valuable are secured by persons who remunerate them better than we can, therefore the apprentices naturally place their services in the highest market.

BOTANIC GARDENS.

　　The general condition of the Gardens was not so good as could have been desired during the year. The chief cause of this was the inadequate means, which, as I had reported, were crippled by additional demands being made on the vote which was not correspondingly increased. As economy had con- sequently to be exercised in some directions, it was arranged that the saving should be applied in such ways as would cause sacrifices of only a temporary character and which could be promptly remedied with increased means. The chief works which were thus allowed to be left unattended to were repairs to walks and regular mowing of some of the grass. Even this however caused for the time being a regretable appearance of disorder which was a new thing for the Hongkong Gardens which always up to the time had, I believe, the reputation of being extremely well kept.

We have had a good deal to contend with in thieves stealing saleable articles such as iron grates glass from sashes, &c., and in wanton mischief done in breaking plant labels by boys, besides plants being damaged and the arrangement in flower beds being disturbed by plant and flower stealers. In the latter case a severe example was made of two boys who were apprehended by the police. Since that time there has been immunity from mischief of the nature which they were punished for being guilty of. Some portions of the grass turf near where children congregate are in a chronic state of disorder caused by the children, which seem quite beyond the capacity of the police and amahs to manage, making use of them as playgrounds. It seems inevitable that this must be submitted to unless we could afford to fence off these places with light iron railings.

Al Fresco Fete.

　　The Fete which was again held in the Gardens caused some undesired disarrangements and damage, but fortunately the extra precautions taken to minimise damages had some good effect. Still, with the greatest precautions there is always, besides actual damages and disturbance, a great risk run which ought not to be accepted in any garden of the character of this one. It is, however, exceedingly satisfactory and reassuring to know that no more al fresco fetes are to be permitted within the Gardens.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JUNE, 1889.

Thinning and Removal of Trees.

537

This work has now been completed so far as it will be required, for some years to come, with the exception of ordinary annual attentions which may be necessary. Although a large number of useless trees have been removed the Gardens still have a somewhat crowded appearance, but this is unavoidable where space is so limited.

Fern Houses.

　　The central portion which was temporarily fitted last year for the reception of a collection of ferns has now had the temporary arrangements replaced with permanent ones. New brickwork plant tables have been made, the floors cemented and drained and the roof has been completed and covered with split bamboo sun screens supported on iron pillars improvised from old 3-inch water pipes. The old houses have also had improvements made to them.

Potting Shed.

　　Adjoining the fern houses the old ever-dilapidated looking matshed has been replaced with a properly constructed brick and tile structure which has been very much needed for years, not only as a potting shed, but as a place where coolies may work under in wet weather when little good could be done at some of the out-door operations.

Deer Pens.

　　Last year a new house was provided for the animals here, and this year improvements have been continued by the erection of a new galvanized wire fence on iron supports which have taken the place of the perishable wooden posts that previously existed. The whole place has now not only a much neater appearance, but, besides painting, nothing will be required in the way of repairs for some years

to come..

Bear House.

　　The Siberian Bear has again given considerable trouble. He has made several attempts to pull his house down, on one occasion he succeeded in ripping the iron roof, and another time he made con- siderable progress in demolishing the brick walls. He also succeeded in squeezing to death the Siamese bear which had been his associate for the last two years. The house has been very much strengthened, and there is now no fear of the bear being able to effect his escape. A small compartment has been added to the house to accommodate two specimens of Hongkong Badgers which were obtained while very young and successfully reared.

Herbaceous Plants.

　　Increased and improved accommodation being required for these advantage was taken of an oppor- tunity to provide what was required by reducing the excessive width of the walk in the New Garden leading from the deer pen to Glenealy and making a new border on each side of it. The soil, which was exceedingly bad and wholly unfit for receiving herbaceous plants was removed to a suitable depth and replaced with better soil carried down from the hills. In this way we obtained borders 250 yards long, and of an average width of five feet into which the plants were placed in a suitable arrangement bringing orders together as far as practicable.

Shrubberies.

　　These were extended over the ground, in which the herbaceous plants were growing before their removal to new quarters. The additional space was required for the accommodation of newly intro- duced plants from China and elsewhere. These plants were transferred to their new home as soon as it was ready for them..

Palm Plot:

Mymphaas and other Aquatic Plants.

The cultivation of these in the Fountain basin has been improved and extended by the construction of brick-work for retaining soil below the surface of the water to take the place of the too small pots in which the plants had formerly to be grown, but still on account of the insufficient depth of water complete success in growing many aquatics cannot be attained.

Rockeries.

　　The new rockery at the north-east gate has been planted but it is not yet completely furnished on account of the small size of some of the plants which had to be used, the plants however are rapidly increasing in size and they will soon fill up bare places.

Amaryllis.

　　The different varieties have all been collected together and formed into a bed to themselves so that they can readily be compared and receive better attention than when scattered about.

Star Anise.

　　In my Report for 1886 I stated that the small plants which had been obtained in 1883 had pro- duced flowers which had shown the plant to be referrable to Illicium cambodierse. However since then a plant which was sent to Kew has produced flowers and fruit in that establishment and that material has shown the plant to be of a species not before known and Sir JOSEPH DALTON HOOKER has given it the name of Illicium verum. In the July Number of the Botanical Magazine the plant was figured, and an interesting account which was prepared by Sir JOSEPH HOOKER accompanied the figure. As this is a question of considerable interest in the Far East I give, for the benefit of those to whom the Bota- nical Magazine is not accessible, the account as it appeared.

"The plant producing the true Star Anise of China is here for the first time figured and described. "For many years the fruit so called was supposed to be that of Illicium anisatum, Linn. (see Benth. "and Trimen, Med. Pl. vol. I. t. 10), the Skimmi of Japan, or of I. religiosum, Sieb-and Zucc. (Tab. "nost. 3965), supposed to be a native of China, but which is identical with 1. anisatum of Linnaus "and Loureiro. For an account of this plant, its history and characters, I must refer to Baillons. "learned treatise, published in 1867. in his Adansonia (vol. viii. p. 1), and to papers by the late Dr. "HANCE and Dr. BRETSCHNEIDER in the China Review (vol. ix. p. 283, &c.) It suffices here to "observe that I. anisatum or religiosum are species with peduncles bracteate at the base, and long spreading inner perianth-segments, and that they hence belong to a different section of the genus "from I. verum.'

"The first person to recognize the fact that neither I. anisatum of Linnaus or of Loureiro could "be the true Star Anise of China was Dr. BRETSCHNEIDER, then Medical Officer to the Russian Embassy "at Pekin, who drew attention to the fact that the Japanese plant was a reputed poison; and that this had "been confirmed by T. F. EYKMAN, who in a paper published in 1881 in the Mittheilung der Deutsche "Gesellschaft fur Naturund Volkerkunde Ost-Asien (Heft xxiii. 23) had experimented with and given "the name of Skimine to the poison. But the first definite information regarding the true Star Anise "is contained in a letter addressed to me by the late Dr. HANCE in October, 1881, which contained "seeds of the true plant received that morning from Pakhoi in South China. And in the same year "Mr. FORD of the Hongkong Botanical Gardens sent to Kew, fruit and fragments of the leaves of the "true plant from Pakhoi. In his Report on the Hongkong Botanical Gardens for 1882, Mr. FORD "states that Mr. KOPSCH, Commissioner of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs at Pakhoi, had "obtained for him a few seedlings of the true Star Anise, of which three had survived, and had attained a height of nine feet in 1886, and flowered in the Botanical Gardens. He adds that they prove to belong to an entirely different species from I. anisatum and all other described species. In 1883 "Mr. FORD sent living plants to the Royal Gardens, Kew, which flowered in November, 1887, and it is from one of these that the figure here given was drawn. In 1886 Mr. FORD sent dried specimens "from his nine feet high plant."

"There are several species of the genus Illiciun to which I. verum is more nearly allied than to "I. anisatum, all having globose flowers, but all differing from verum in the increased number of perianth-segments, stamens and carpels; these are the Indian I. Griffithii, H. f. and T., and I. majus, H. f. and T., respectively from the Khasia Mountains in Eastern Bengal, and the mountains of Tenasserim, nd the I. cambodianum, HANCE (in Trimen's Jour. Bot. 1876, p. 240, I. cambogianum, "Pierre, Flore Forestiere Cochin-Chine, t. 4). The latter, a broad-leaved species with long-peduncled "flowers, is a native of the Elephant Mountains in Cochin-China. From all these I. verum differs, not "only in the number of parts of the flower, but as Mr. HOLMES (Conservator of the museum of the "Pharmaceutical Society) who has been so good as to examine them all for me, informs me, in taste of foliage and fruit, by which alone he could distinguish them, and pronounce I. verum to be specifically "distinct from all others."

"With regard to Loureiro's I. anisatum from South China, under which he cites Linnaus and the Japanese Skimmi of Kampfer, it is altogether a doubtful plant. It is described as having yellow "flowers, a six-leaved calyx, spreading corolla and thirty stamens, and hence cannot be I. verum.

(

"In his "Notes on Botanical questions connected with the export trade of China," printed at Pekin "1880, Dr. BRETSCHNEIDER calls attention to a Report by Mr. PIRY on the trade of Pakhoi for 1878-9, "which contains interesting particulars regarding the Star Anise. Of this he says it is brought to that 'port for exportation from the province of Kuangsi via Kin-Chow, and that it is produced in two districts," Lung-Chow on the borders of Annam, and Po-se in the West (or Canton) river close to Yunnam.

"The Star Anise was, according to Hanbury (Pharmacographia, ed. 2, p. 22), first brought to "Europe by the voyager Candish about the year 1588, and first described by Clusius (Rarior Plant. Hist. p. 202) in 1601 from fruits procured from London. It seems afterwards to have been imported "via Russia (and hence called Cardamomum siberiense, or Annis de Siberie), and was used by the "Dutch in the seventeenth century to flavour beverages. From China it is exported into East ern "Turkestan under the name of Chinese fennel, and in China itself it is called Pa-Kio-nui hiang, or "eight-horned Fennel; the fact being that though commonly compared with aniseed, the taste is really. more like that of fennel; so that the name given it by Redi (Experimenta, p. 172) in 1675 was "F?niculum sinensis. In China the Star Anise is employed as a condiment and as a spice, and it is "still used to flavour spirits in Germany, France (where it is the flavouring material of Anisette de "Bordeaux) and Italy. In England, according to Hanbury, it is used only as a substitute for oil of anise,"

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JUNE, 1889.

539

　　"The propriety of giving the new name of verum to this interesting plant may be challenged on "the ground that the Linnaan one of anisatum should be retained for it, and another be adopted for "the Japanese plant so long supposed to be the origin of the Star Anise. The objections to this course "are twofold; the first is, that Linnaus (Sp. Plant. Ed. 3, p. 664) clearly describes this as his I. "anisatum, the Skimmi of Kampfer, and cites Kampfer's Amanitates for the same. He, however, "adds, "Planta a'me now visa, fide Kaempferi recepta, forte Anisum stellatum officinarum, quod adjectum "Tetraodonti ocellari ejus anget venenun." The italics are my own. The passage shows that Linnaus "is not answerable for the reference of the Star Anise to I. anisatum. The second objection is, that it "would require the adoption of another name for the old and well-known Japanese plant, for which "however, the synonym I. religiosum of Siebold and Zuccarini might be adopted."

The figure and account were also published in the Kew Bulletin.

　　Several other plants which had been introduced from these Gardens and which flowered in the Royal Gardens, Kew, during the year were figured and described in the Botanical Magazine. Amongst the rest was the interesting "lesser or Chinese Galangal" of commerce.

DISTRIBUTION AND INTERCHANGE OF PLANTS AND SEEDS.

　　The usual exchanges have been made with other establishments and individuals, 147 boxes, bags, and packets of seeds, weighing 16lbs., and 469 plants were received. 286 boxes, bags, and packets of seeds, weighing 140lbs., and 2542 plants were distributed.

SALE OF PLANTS AND TREES.

The work in this section continues to increase. The total number of plants and trees sold was nearly three times as many as during last year, the number was 3,317 and they realised $412,21. About half of the number sold were forest trees and the other half ornamental plants. There is a con- siderable regular demand for maiden-hair ferns, the demand so far as quantity goes is well met now, but the quality is not quite so good sometimes as I could wish it to be. For the desired improvement, however, extended and improved appliances for cultivation are required which I hope will be partly met this year by provisional arrangements.

HERBARIUM.

In my last year's report I had occasion to lament the want of more suitable accommodation for keeping the collection of dried plants. I have now however the great satisfaction of expressing my appreciation of the better provision which has been made for keeping the plants and carrying on the works of the herbarium, which has made much greater progress than in any one previous year.

Amongst other work 1,192 specimens were mounted, labelled and incorporated. I anticipate that during the present year the remainder of the specimens which have been accumulating for some years will be satisfactorily disposed of and that then the work will be brought up to date.

The Rev. ERNST FABER has generously continued his kind donations of specimens collected by himself in Szchuen and in the neighbourhoods of Ningpo and Shanghai.

A collection of specimens of other Chinese plants has also been kindly presented by Mr. THISELTON T. DYER, Director of Kew Gardens.

To the Royal Gardens, Kew, we are also indebted as usual for valuable aid in information supplied on botanical subjects which could only be obtained from such a well equipped institution.

FORESTRY.

541

The return to regularity in the amount of the Annual Forestry vote has enabled the operations to be returned to something like what they were before 1886. The number of trees planted and reared for the past year was nearly as large as in 1884. The season on account of the very favourable rain- fall was an excellent one for planting and the results were exceedingly satisfactory. Planting com- menced on November 25th, 1887 and was completed on July 14th, 1888, but the heaviest portion of the work was finished by April 26th. The operations were conducted chiefly in the following locali- ties :

Western end of the City.

Mt. Davis.

Pokfulam.

Military Sanitarium.

Mt. Kellet.

Mt. Parker.

Quarry Bay. Wongneichung. Deep Water Bay. Tytam. Chai Wan. Kowloon.

The following are the kinds and numbers of trees planted, reared in situ, and reared from broad- cast sowing.

Broadcast sowing was repeated on a large area on the hills near Chaiwan; the seeds germinated well and the seedlings are now in a healthy and promising condition. Where the ground is suitable for this work this method of rearing trees is apparently the most economical and satisfactory one which can be adopted.

Tristanea Conferta.

Five years ago 800 trees of this species were planted, these thrived so well that, as I reported last year, a larger number was being reared. From this sowing we obtained upwards of 4,000 which were planted; they succeeded perfectly. Seeds were again collected from our own trees-which made us independent of foreign supplies-and sown, and 20,000 seedlings were prepared for planting during the current year.

Experiments.

Between 20 and 30 newly introduced species of trees were planted for experimental purposes, but it is too early to pronounce an opinion on their suitability for this soil and climate.

Thinning Plantations.

A considerable area of the older plantations has been thinned, and cleared of brushwood which becoming undesirably abundant. The work was chiefly performed, under supervision, by the ers of the material which was thinned and cleared. The trees and brushwood which were sold realised $419.25 clear profit.

Grass Fires.

There has again been remarkable exemption from damage to trees by grass fires. The fire barriers have been maintained and some extensions made. A considerable number of fires began, but they were arrested or extinguished in all cases at an early stage of their existence either by the fire- barriers, police, or our own staff, or by all resources combined.

The proposal which I made and to which His Excellency the Governor and the Captain Super- intendent of Police assented, that the out police stations should be provided with means for extinguishing grass fires when they occur in districts near to the stations, has worked most satisfactorily and I wish to here express my appreciation of the useful services which the Officers and men under them at the out stations have cheerfully rendered in many instances. Their prompt actions in telegraphing to me the existence of fires, and their own exertions in extinguishing them, have saved large numbers of trees from destruction.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JUNE, 1889.

There were in all 14 fires reported by the police and our own staff, only one of these spread over a large area, and that one was in an unplanted locality where nothing but grass was burnt, and where no fire barriers had been made.

Protective Service..

The Forest Guards have worked much better this year than they did in the previous one. Some changes in the men were made and the new ones are a decided improvement on their predecessors.

The number of cases brought to the Magistracy was 47, out of which 38 convictions were obtained. The fines imposed, which however were not paid in all cases, amounted to $73.

I have the honour to be.

Your most obedient Servant,

(3.)

6. Every fugitive criminal, who is in Hongkong, shall be liable to be apprehended and surrendered in manner provided by this Ordinance, whether the crime in respect. of which the surrender is demanded was committed before or after the passing of this Ordinance, and whether there is or is not any concurrent jurisdiction in any Court in the Colony over that crime.

7. Whenever the requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal, who is in, or suspected of being in Hongkong, is made to the Governor by some officer of the Chinese Government, the Governor may, by order under bis hand and seal, signify to a Magistrate that such requisition has been made, and require him to issue his warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive criminal.

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

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 6TH JULY, 1889.

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

The Magistrate shall receive any evidence which may be tendered to show that the crime of which the prisoner is accused, is an offence of a political character, or is not an extradition crime.

If the Magistrate commits the fugitive criminal to Vic- toria Gaol, he shall thereupon inform the fugitive criminal that he will not be surrendered until after the expiration of fifteen days from the date of such committal and that he has a right to apply to the Supreme Court for a writ of

· Habeas Corpus, and such Magistrate shall forthwith send to the Governor the depositions and other evidence in the case together with a report thereon and in particular in relation to

(a.) The lapse of time since the commission of the

extradition crime.

character of the fugitive criminal.

(c.) Any circumstances throwing suspicion on the

origin or nature of the charge made.

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

13. (1.) Upon the expiration of fifteen days from the date of the Magistrate's order of committal or if a writ of Habeas Corpus has been issued and if upon the return to the writ the Supreme Court has not discharged the fugitive criminal, immediately after the decision of the Court, or after such further period in either case as the Governor may allow the Governor may, by warrant under his hand and seal, order the fugitive criminal to be surrendered to such person as the Governor considers to be authorized to receive him on behalf of the Chinese authorities and the fugitive criminal shall be surrendered accordingly: Provided always that whenever the Governor shall from the Magistrate's Report or otherwise have reason to suppose, that any fugitive criminal, who has been committed to the Victoria Gaol to await the further order of the Governor, has been resident in the Colony for one year or upwards, the depositions and evidence taken before the Magistrate on the investigation of the case shall together with the Magistrate's Report thereon be considered by the Governor in Council, who shall be assisted in such consideration by the Chief Justice of the Colony and the Governor in Council shall decide whether such fugitive criminal shall be surrendered or not.

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

No. 105.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

DOWNING STREET,

16th May, 1889.

　　SIR, My attention has been drawn to the fact that certain Government Scholars from one of the Colonies, who are studying law. have not joined any regular educational institution, but have merely entered one of the Inns of Court. Hitherto, the authorities of the Inns have furnished the necessary certificates of good conduct and diligence enabling the Scholars to draw their quarterly payments, but the Under-Treasurer of the Middle Temple now states that there is no Officer of that Society who can do more than certify that a Student has duly kept terms.

　　I am of opinion that entering one of the Inns of Court and keeping terms is not a sufficient com- pliance with the conditions under which such Scholarships are held, and I have accordingly caused the Crown Agents for the Colonies to be instructed to inform any Scholars coming from the Colony under your administration who may have simply joined an Inn of Court and kept terms, that they must also enter some Teaching Institution (such, for instance, as King's or University College), some Officer of which can certify periodically to their good conduct and proficiency in study; but that in the mean- time the instalments of the Scholarships now due may be paid on certificates that the Scholars have attended at least two sets of lectures provided by the Council of Legal Education at the Inns of Court.

I have &c.,

Intended alteration of Savage Island Light-Port of Akyab.

The Port Officer, Rangoon, through Commander Alfred Carpenter, R.N., in charge Marine Survey of India, has given notice that it is intended to alter both the height and character of the Savage Island light at the entrance of the Port of Akyab, on the coast of Arracan, by raising the present tower 20 feet, and substituting a 1st class light for the present 3rd class one.

The alterations will be taken in hand at the commencement of the next cold season.

　　　During the alterations the present light will be exhibited from a temporary wooden structure close to and to the south- ward of the present Light-house, and of the same height, that is, 98 feet above H. W. level.

The transferring of the present light from the present structure to the temporary wooden one will take some days, aud during this time a blue light will be burnt from the foot of the present structure every quarter of an hour from sunset to sunrise.

As the present light, when removed to the temporary structure, will be obscured to the northward by the permanent Light-house, a white light will be hoisted on the flagstaff at Fakir Point, as a guide to vessels entering and leaving the port at night. The new light will be a first class dioptric one, fixed and flashing at intervals of one minute, exhibited from a masonry tower at a height of 118 feet above H. W. level, and visible on a clear night at a distance of 16 to 18 miles. Its are of visibility will be the same as the present light, viz., 264° from seaward.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 8th May, 1889.

　　SIR, I have the honour to forward my Annual Report for the year 1888 together with the Tables showing the work done in the Medical Department under my supervision, the report of the Superin- tendent of the Government Civil Hospital and that of the Government Analyst.

POLICE.

　　The admissions to the Hospital from the Police Force show a considerable increase, which is more apparent than real the fact being that the Force has been increased in strength by nearly fifty men. The increase has been among the European and Chinese portions of the Force as shewn in the table given below:-

There were fifteen deaths in the Force as compared with nine last year. The only European that died was suffering from Small-pox. Three Indians and four Chinese died in the Civil Hospital. One Indian shot himself at No. 7 Station and six Chinese died while away on leave in their own

country.

　　The following table gives the admissions to Hospital and the deaths in the Force for the last 10 years :

　　There has been a considerable decrease in the amount of sickness amongst the Troops this year as compared with the previous two years, but a much larger number of deaths.

The sickness is still very much above the average of the last 10 years as the following table

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1889.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

The New wing of this Hospital has at last been opened and the accommodation as far as the sick are concerned is now complete.

　　　Quarters for the Medical Staff, the European, and Chinese Nursing Staffs are in course of con- struction as also the Laboratory and Mortuary but all these I hope will be completed before the spring of next year.

Dr. ATKINSON the New Superintendent has had a very hard time of it this year and many troubles to contend with, nevertheless, I cannot speak too highly of the energy and skill he has shewn in the performance of his duties and the esteem he has earned for his kindness and consideration to the patients in the Hospital. I am glad to think that his work will be lightened this year as a New Medical Officer has been sanctioned to assist him. Five French Sisters of Mercy will shortly arrive as nurses to the Hospital. One trained European Wardmaster, Mr. CHAPMAN, has arrived from England and given much satisfaction and another has been sanctioned and will be appointed shortly. I regret we shall lose the services of Mr. WATSON, the assistant Apothecary, who leaves the service to better himself. I only hope his successor will prove as capable and good an officer. We shall also lose the services of the Chinese Wardmaster, A LOK, who has been in the service nearly twenty years and whose good service I have had to mention on many occasions; he will retire on pension.

Mr. ROGERS, the Steward, has gone Home this year on a well earned leave.

　　　An assistant Chinese clerk has at last been sanctioned and I hope to be able to report next year. that the Hospital Subordinate Staff is in good working order.

　　　Mr. CROW, the Government Analyst and Apothecary, returns to his duties after acting for eighteen months as Sanitary Superintendent in place of Mr. MCCALLUM who went Home on sick leave. President of the Sanitary Board I have to mention that Mr. CROW performed his duties to the entire satisfaction of the Board, which were exceptionaly onerous as the Board had been reconstituted and there was a great increase of work in connection with the New Health Ordinance lately passed.

　　　The admissions to Hospital this year shew an increase of over a hundred while the deaths shew a decrease of nine as compared with last year. This increase of admissions has been principally from the Police Force. Board of Trade and Police cases.

There were 370 admissions for the various forms of malarial fever and 3 deaths among them. There were 21 admissions to Hospital of a choleraic type and 13 deaths.

Dysentery cases 54 admissions and 5 deaths.

　　　The following table shows the number and classification of those brought to Hospital for the last eight years:-

　　　Tables VA to G shew the character of the diseases admitted to Hospital. These tables have been re-arranged by the Superintendent and in a very much better form than those given in previous reports being more systematic and convenient for obtaining rapidly all necessary information. Table VI. gives the rate of mortality in the Hospital for the past ten years.

Table VII. gives the admissions of the various classes for each month of the year, May to September being the most sickly months.

The admissions and deaths in Hospital for the last ten years are as follows:-

Ten deaths occurred from injuries received. There were twenty-one admissions to Hospital of a Choleraic nature but I do not think any of them were of the Epidemic or Asiatic type for reasons I will give later on.

The total amount of fees received this year was $9805.15 about $500 dollars less than last year. But two private cases, Volunteer Firemen suffering from injuries received while on duty at fires and in the public service, were excused by Government from paying fees for that reason otherwise there would have been an increase of fees of over $1,000 instead of a deficency of $500. One case was eight months in Hospital and I am happy to say the life of a well known and much respected Citizen was spared chiefly owing to the skilful and unremitting attention of Dr. ATKINSON. The severity of the case may be judged when I say that the patient lost a leg and the severe contusions received resulted in numerous abscesses, also that one of the Chinese Nurses in attendance died from blood poisoning his duty in this case costing him his life, he had been twelve years a nurse in the Hospital and bore an exceptionally good character.

SMALL-POX HOSPITAL.

A severe epidemic of Small-pox began in November, 1887 and in the month of January this year (1888) 84 cases were admitted to Hospital, 10 cases in February and 5 more in March, April, and May-99 cases altogether, the largest number ever admitted to this Hospital in the sixteen years I have been in the Colony. Of these 16 died. Very many of the cases were very severe and one who recovered was in Hospital 137 days. No more cases occurred in the Colony from May up to the end of the year, thanks to all the precaution taken as described in my last Annual Report.

Table VIIa. gives the sex, nationality, age and length of detention of the patients admitted to this Hospital very few of whom were children.

PUBLIC MORTUARY.

Table VIII. shews the number of bodies brought to the mortuary for examination and the cause of death. This year 164 bodies were brought in, Europeans 3, Coloured 4, Chinese 113, of the latter 20 were children.

　　　55 were found to have died from disease, 64 were accidental deaths, 31 suicidal and 3 homicidal, 2 causes unrecognizable owing to decomposition.

These figures show a considerable decrease in the number of admissions on the past ten years, but what is of most importance they shew the smallest daily average of prisoners in Gaol in the past ten years.

Table IX. shews the number of prisoners admitted to Hospital the nature of their complaints and the number of deaths.

Table XI shews the rate of sickness and mortality of prisoners under treatment in the Gaol. There is an increase of 40 in the admissions to Hospital and an increase of 6 in the number of deaths. In 1887 there were in Hospital, 266 cases and 6 deaths, in 1888 there were in Hospital 306 cases and 12 deaths of these there were 16 cases of Choleraic Diarrhoea of which 7 died no such cases have occurred in the last fifteen years of my experience, none of these cases had any connection with the others they were confined to no particular class of prisoners and occurred in different cells, the outbreak only lasted a few days. Besides the deaths in Hospital there was one case of suicide in the cells, and two prisoners were killed in an attempt to escape from the chain-gang.

Table XIb. shews the number of opium smokers consuming one mace and upwards received into Gaol, their weight on admission and their weights in each week of the first month in Gaol or until their discharge.

576

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1889.

Table XIc. shews the number of opium smokers admitted to the Gaol Hospital and the diseases they were suffering from. There were no deaths among them and no cases of Cholera occurred among them, enfeebled though they are supposed to be by this said to be pernicious habit, though they had exactly the same diet as the other prisoners and were distributed among those that were attacked. The only cases worthy of note are first, one, who was 60 years of age, had been an opium smoker forty. years, the longest time of all the 75 who came into Goal, smoked 3 mace per diem weight 85lbs. on admission and the same after a month's confinement though he was subject to the penal diet the same as other prisoners, he was never on the sick list nor received any particular treatment, to cure him of the habit.

All opium smokers now are only under observation unless their is special reason besides this habit they receive no treatment whatever, the habit is entirely ignored and they go to their work and diet same as other prisoner.

The heaviest weight on admission was 133lbs. lost 2lbs. in the fortnight he spent in Gaol was 58 years of age 20 years an opium smoker consumed one mace per diem.

The lightest weight admitted was 71lbs. he increased 4lbs. during a fornight's confinement was 26 years of age one year an opium smoker and consumed one mace daily.

The greatest decrease in weight among the opium smokers was 8 lbs. and this case was never on the sick list, this man had been 15 years a smoker of one mace daily.

The greatest gain in weight was 8 fbs.-this man had been 10 years a smoker of 1 mace had never been in hospital so that there was only the ordinary diet to account for the increase.

This habit in itself appears to me to be perfectly harmless. In conjunction with women, wine, late hours and gambling it is very possibly injurious, but in this case it is not in it to use a slang phrase, compared with tobacco as while indulging in this "pernicious" habit you must devote your whole attention to it and it alone. The opium hells of Europe and America combine more than one of these attractions as a rule. The great majority of opium smokers in China have this "vice" only and too much pity is wasted abroad which might well be spent at home. The "poor heathen Chinese affords a better example than most Europeans, it is only a small minority even among the well-to-do that are not frugal and industrious in their habits, and sober in their enjoyments though they are opium smokers.

LUNATIC ASYLUM.

　　Table XId. gives the number, nationality, disease and description of patients admitted to the Asylum.

There were eight patients last year of whom two remain this year in the Asylum. There being no female patients in the wards this year, they were used for European female Sinall-pox cases and have since been thoroughly disinfected, repainted, &c.

TUNG WA HOSPITAL.

The total number of patients treated during 1888 in this Hospital was 2,298 of these 1,428 died. 379 were admitted in a moribund condition.

The number of out patients treated was 99.721.

There remained in Hospital at the end of the year 88 patients.

To the Small-pox wards of this Hospital 349 cases were admitted of these 276 died, the majority of the admissions were infants and children and but very few cases had been vaccinated. All the cases occurred in the first half of the year. 1882 vaccinations were successfully performed in Victoria and the outlying districts.

TEMPORARY LOCK HOSPITAL

　　I regret to say this Hospital is still in the temporary buildings, the cause of this being, that the new Hospital has been given over to the European nurses of the Government Civil Hospital and other portions of the European Staff, till the New Quaters are built for them, these I hope will be ready by the beginning of next year.

　　Last year I reported the abolishment of the Contagious Diseases Ordinance and the unexpected wishes of the women of all classes to continue the Medical Examination. This voluntary attendance has been contrary to my expectations wonderfully good and regular but notwithstanding this the cases admitted to Hospital are of a much graver type the majority being for soft sores and buboes.

The extent of the severity is well indicated by the average number of days under treatment which has risen from 13.9 to 24.4 a larger average than has occurred since 1869.

There were 10,924 examinations made last year and 66 found diseased among the women. Table E. In this Table the admissions to the Venereal Wards of the Military Hospital shew a large increase being 401 as compared with 222 in 1887

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1889.

577

The Naval Hospital shews a decrease in admissions to the Venereal Wards being 244 as com- pared with 268 in 1887. The Police Hospital also shews a decrease in admissions being 46 as com- pared with 70 in 1887.

The Civil Hospital a slight increase being 68 as compared with 54 in 1887.

　　　But Tables E 2 and E 3 are the real tests shewing the amount of constitutional disease contracted in the Navy and Army. There were 10 cases admitted to the Naval Hospital as compared with 8 last year of this form of disease contracted in Hongkong.

There were 37 cases admitted to the Military Hospital as compared with 39 in 1887.

The Navy shew an increase of two the Army a decrease of two.

At any rate I think it is well shewn by these tables that the voluntary examination of the women is doing a great deal of good. We have much to be thankful for that they have shewn so much sense and it speaks well for the way the examinations are conducted in this Colony that they have caused no offence to the women.

HEALTH OF THE COLONY.

Table XVI. shews the rate of mortality amongst the European and American community in Hongkong for the last ten years from all classes of disease. The number and percentage is the highest recorded for many years, but as the number of this portion of the population has stood on the returns at 3,040 for eight years, I doubt if the percentages given of late years can be considered correct.

I give below for the fifteen years I have been in the Colony the mortality among the Europeans and Chinese as registered in Hongkong from diseases that may be attributed among other causes to insanitary houses, filth poison and overcrowding. In these Tables I have put down under the head of cholera all cases registered under the heads of Cholera Nostras, Cholera Sporadic, Choleraic Diarrhoea names given to the cholera common to Europe in the summer months as distinguished from what is known as Asiatic or Epidemic Cholera. Last summer there was a considerable outbreak of this form of disease, but there was nothing about it of the nature of an epidemic, solitary cases occurred all over the city, no particular quarter being distinguished as suffering more than another. Most of the cases occurring in the months of June and July when unripe stone fruits are imported and eaten in the Colony in large quantities. In all the cases I saw all the patients complained of griping pains in the bowels, and in all the post mortems I was present, and the stomach and bowels were extremely con- gested and inflammed. In the Asiatic form of cholera gripes are absent the only pain being from cramps chiefly in the lower extremities the vomiting and purging being quite painless. The bowels do not show any inflammation these symptoms being nearly the only difference between the two diseases except that the mortality in one is less than that of the other. The experience of the out- break in the Gaol, I think, is quite sufficient to show that this outbreak was not of an epidemic cha- overcrowding, and the bucket system for night-soil in the cells at night an epidemic form of this disease would not have stopped at sixteen cases. No European in the Gaol was attached and stopping the drinking of cold water (which the Chinese are not accustomed to) when at work and perspiring freely, giving congee water and weak tea instead, soon put a stop to the outbreak in the Gaol which only lasted a few days. As was remarked in the outbreak among the Military three years ago the temperance men were the sufferers so in some of the cases among Europeans that I saw they attri- buted the attack to drinking large quantities of iced water.

The outbreak of Small-pox in the beginning of the year also contributed largely to the mortality, in the foreign part of the community 29 died. amongst the Chinese there were 470 deaths from this cause. There has not been time to test the value of the new vaccination Ordinance because previous experience has shewn that every third year there has been a slight outbreak of this disease but never before one so large as this year. Small-pox generally appears in the winter months beginning about November, previous experience has shewn that one winter we have had no cases or at most half a dozen the next winter there has been a dozen or two and the third winter fifty or sixty this has been the rule during my experince of the Colony. This winter there has been only one case recorded among the Chinese and six or seven mild cases of varioloid among Europeans.

　　　These outbreaks have brought much discussion over the long pending scheme of a Hospital for Infectious diseases. Some three years ago a commission was formed of the Military and Naval Surgeons the Military Engineers, the Surveyor General and myself and after long discussion it was agreed that the best and only suitable form of Hospital for Infectious Diseases in this Colony was a Hulk and to that opinion I still adhere. There is no site in the Colony to which there are not strong objections on one or more scores and most of these objections are removed when a hulk comes in question. There must be a receiving ward ashore where cases can receive immediate attention and be diagnosed. Four years ago four cases were brought in by the Police and sent into the Cholera Ward I was notified and hurried down at once much disgusted to find one drunken man one case of colic and two cases of high fever all of whom had been found "vomiting and purging" which of course proved that they were cases of Cholera, at that time there was a considerable scare and any one "vomiting or purging no matter from what cause got a dose of Cholera mixture served out to him by his nearest friend or neighbour, who could procure it from the nearest Police Station. This sort of thing shews the absolute necessity for a ward of observation and there is no place better than the present Small-pox Ward attached to the Government Civil Hospital when it has received some necessary improvements.

Dr. ATKINSON has furnished a very interesting report and also notes of some interesting cases. He has also given some valuable recommendations. He has had very hard and much annoying work but as assistance is coming out in the shape of another Surgeon and his Subordinate Staff is in a fair way now to be as near perfect as possible I hope it will never occur again.

　　　Mr. CROW furnishes an Analytical report some of which will interest the Public, the report on the milk supplied by the Dairy Farm is a very handsome gratuitous advertisement to an Establishment that is certainly a very great benefit to the Colony.

Report from the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 12th March, 1889.

.........

　　　SIR,-I have the honour to submit the Annual Medical Report of the Government Civil Hospital for the year 1888.

1.-THE HOSPITAL BUILDINGS.

　　　1. With regard to the main building of the Hospital the only alteration is the addition of a hand- lift at the east end of the building, by this considerable time and labour has been cconomised..

　　　There is no doubt that in a Hospital, every contrivance to save labour and cleaning should be employed so that the time and labour of the attendants should be employed in Nursing and not in other duties, to further this I recommend that hot water should be laid to both floors:

　　　2. The new Wing is finished and almost ready for occupation this will be a great improvement on the present building now occupied as a Male Lock Hospital, this latter will be handed over to the Colonial Surgeon and used as a Female Lock Hospital, this being the object for which it was originally. intended.

　　　3. A new Mortuary is in course of erection the early completion of which is important as the barracks for the Chinese attendants, which are urgently needed can not be commenced until this build- ing is finished.

　　　In addition to the present arrangement in connection with these buildings I consider the following additions are required:-

　　　1st. The construction of a suitable laundry in connection with which a small Hospital Disinfect- ing apparatus and a hot water system for supplying hot water to both floors of the Hospital should be fitted up.

　　　2nd. The construction of an office and stores for the Compradore and also a general store-room in place of the existing Mortuary and out offices which site will be rendered available for this purpose on completion of the new Mortuary and out offices.

SMALL-POX HOSPITAL.

　　　These temporary buildings are the same as last year with the addition of a boiler and hot water apparatus.

I am glad to record that we have not been visited with an Epidemic of Small-pox this last winter there having been only eight cases under treatment since November, 1888, where as last year there were 88 cases in same period of time.

　　　The erection of a permanent building for the reception of all cases of infectious diseases the im- portance of which I urged upon you in my last report has received my further consideration during the past year, and I am still more impressed with the necessity of early steps being taken to place a Hospital of this class at the disposal of the Public.

ADDITIONAL OFFICER'S QUARTERS.

A new building is in course of construction between the Hospital premises and the Diocesan Home this will provide accommodation for the Assistant Medical Superintendent, the Senior Apothecary and also for the Sisters who are shortly to arrive-this building will also include a chemical laboratory.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1889.

THE HOSPITAL PREMISES.

595

　　Some further improvements have been made in the general condition of the Recreation Grounds, and, as far as the soil will admit, in the laying out of the Gardens.

I take this opportunity of thanking Mr. FORD for the kindly assistance he has given.

The following improvements would greatly tend to the cheerfulness and security of the premises:- 1st. The substitution of a low parapet wall surmounted by a substantial open iron railing in place of the present high wall along the Hospital Road frontage of the premises adjoining the main building.

　　2nd. The substitution of an iron railing instead of the present temporary bamboo fence along the High Street frontage of the grounds adjoining the Superintendent's House and used as a Recreation Ground for the convalescent patients.

THE HOSPITAL STAFF.

The Senior Apothecary Mr. Crow has been employed as Acting Sanitary Superintendent.

　　Mr. WATSON and the two Student Apoth caries, one of whom Mr. CHAU KAM TSUN was ap- pointed after a competitive examination on the 15th October have worked well and given every satis- faction.

　　Mr. WATSON's duties and responsibility have been somewhat increased during this last year owing to the Small-pox Epidemic, to the absence of Mr. CROW, and to the increased number of patients under treatment in the Government Civil Hospital.

　　I take this opportunity of thanking all the Officers for their ready assistance and attention during the past year which as will be seen from the returns has been one of increased pressure.

　　The increase in the clerical work of the Hospital rendered it necessary for me to recommend the appointment of an assistant clerk.

　　I am glad to see that provision has been made in the Estimates for this additional officer, as the importance of keeping the records of this Department to a high standard is of considerable practical utility.

NURSING STAFF.

We commenced this year with the services of ex-Policeinan CUBIT and of H. CARNEIRO as European Wardmasters, both these officers had to be trained in their duties as they were entirely un- acquainted with nursing..

　　With reference to the former I cannot speak too highly of this Officer; owing to the expiration of his term of service in the Police he left the Colony on 6th November last.

I regret that Junior Wardmaster CARNEIRO proved unsuitable for his post, and on the 20th of July his services were dispensed with.

　　Finding it impossible to obtain a suitable trained man in the Colony I recommended on the 21st July that a Wardmaster be obtained from England such officer to have served in the Army Medical Staff Corps.

　　On the 1st August W. SPONG, Assistant Turnkey at the Gaol, was appointed temporarily as Junior Wardmaster.

CHINESE NURSING STAFF.

The new rules drawn up in conjunction with the Colonial Surgeon, shortly after my arrival have worked well so far.

With this class of servants constant watching and supervision are absolutely necessary.

To interest them the more in their work with the aid of Mr. Lo CHEUNG-IP as Interpreter I gave a short course of lectures on Nursing.

CHAN-A-LOK, Chinese Wardmaster, I have found very useful not only in the Nursing Depart- ment but also in Post Mortem examinations and as Interpreter to the Chinese patients; having been in the Hospital for over twenty-two years he is anxious to resign, not feeling strong enough to carry on his work. However at the urgent request of Dr. AYRES and myself he agreed to remain on until our Nursing Staff became more adequate.

I regret having to report that there has been considerable sickness amongst the members of the Nursing Staff.

The total number of Staff employed at the Hospital was 44, out of this number twenty-nine Officers were 'warded' during the year for illness, of these fifteen were laid up with Malarial Fever, the earth-cutting and filling-in of the space between the main building and the new wing being in my opinion an important factor in the causation of this-during one week the two Acting European Wardmasters, two Chinese cooks, and two Chinese nurses as well as myself were laid up with Inter- mittent Fever.

596

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 13TH JULY, 1889.

　　　LIN TING, senior nurse, who has been in the service of the Hospital for some years unfortunately contracted "blood poisoning," and died on the 1st January after seven days' illness.

WONG NANG Contracted "Typhoid Fever"

Typhoid Fever" on the 13th March, he was under treatment for five weeks, he recovered and resumed his duties.

　　　In addition to these there have been six attendants from the Lunatic Asylum and Lock Hospital under Medical treatment, one of the latter Kwok TING was admitted to the Hospital suffering from "Remittent Fever" on the 28th December and died on the 31st.

　　　Here again the earth-cutting necessitated in preparing the foundation of the New Officers' Quarters was an important factor in the causation of this disease as since the North-East Monsoon has set in both the Lunatic European keepers have had frequent attacks of Malarial Fever in addition to those Officers already mentioned.

WORK DONE DURING THE YEAR.

In classifying the differing diseases I have adopted the Nomenclature of the Royal College of Physicians of London the one usually used by the Medical profession in Statistics.

Attached to this Report are the following Tables :---

　　　I.--Shewing the admissions into and deaths in the Government Civil Hospital during each month of the year, of the Police.

II.-Shewing the rate of sickness and mortality in the Police Force during the year. III.-Police return of admissions to Hospital from each district during the year.

V. is the General Return of the Sick treated in the Hospital.

Va. Surgical operations performed during the year.

Vb. Zymotic diseases, sub-group 1.

VI. Shewing the rate of mortality in the Government Civil Hospital during the last 10 years. VII. Shewing the admissions into and deaths in the Government Civil Hospital during each month of the year.

VIIa. Table of admissions into and deaths in the. Small-pox Hospital.

From these it will be seen :-

　　　1. That the number of patients under treatment in the Hospital during the year was 1772 an increase of 116 as compared with the previous year, the total number of deaths was 80, this giving a percentage of 4.51.

2. In addition to these there were 115 out-patients treated in the Receiving Ward, these consist- ing chiefly of minor surgery cases such as dog bites, scalp wounds lacerated and contused wounds, &c. 3. Out of the 1,772 in-patients sixty-eight were females, 5 of these were women in advanced stages of labour all requiring instrumental assistance, one died, this woman had been in labour for 24 hours before admission suffering from in addition a virulent form of syphilis. It is greatly to be regretted that these cases do not come in to the Hospital earlier as the Chinese Midwives are absolutely destitute of any obstetric skill.

4. There were 38 more Police under treatment than in 1887, they suffered principally from Malarial Fevers, injuries received while on duty, and Venereal Affections.

　　　5. Whitfield Police Station since its re-opening from November 1st sent in 10 cases of Inter- mittent Fever out of a total Force of 23 men.

　　　6. Cholera contributed 21 cases, of these 12 died-a percentage of 57.1, the first case was a seaman from the S.S. Cicero, admitted on the 27th of May, the last case came in on the 5th of July.

　　　Whether this disease was true Asiatic Cholera I do not feel in a position to state. In a hot anp moist climate like this Choleraic Diarrhoea" is an affection met with every summer more or less. Dr. MACNAMARA states that "according to his experience there are few more certain sources of this form of Cholera than fish which has gone bad and it is very evident that whatever the deleterious influence may be which food of this description contains the mere fact of keeping it in boiling water for some time does not destroy its pernicious qualities." As fish enters largely into the diet of the population of Hongkong it is advisable that particular attention should be paid to the fish supply of the Colony.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1889.

597

The majority of these cases presented all the symptoms of Asiatic Cholera, viz:-" Violent vomiting, purging, with cramps, prostration, collapse, suppression of urine, and in three cases 66 rice- water stools."

　　The first record of Cholera in Hongkong is that by Dr. CHALDECOTT the Acting Colonial Surgeon in 1859. In his Annual Report for 1858 he states "that previously to Autumn of that year no well authenticated case of cholera was recorded to have happened in Hongkong and so confident were the Medical Practitioners of the immunity of the place that it was at first thought by them that the cases of the disease at first reported were in fact merely severe cases of Diarrhoea, but it was soon evident that the disease amongst us was true Asiatic Cholera, for no single symptom was wanting and it des- troyed its victims in an equally short space of time.

　　At the same time the Portuguese in Macao suffered severely from the disease and cases occurred at Canton the disease afterwards visited the East Coast reached Shanghai and it is also reported raged with great virulence over a great part of the Japanese Empire."

I would simply note that in a similar manner last year Macao suffered from an outbreak of this disease, it has also been reported as being rife all through the Kwangtung Province, the disease also I am informed visited the Coast ports and from the Physicians Report of the Shanghai General Hos- pital I find that from August 1st to September 17th of last year there were 8 cases of Cholera treated there of which 6 died a mortality of 75 per cent.

7. Dysentery contributed 54 cases of which 5 were fatal, a mortality of 9.26 per cent. 8. Malarial Fever contributed 371 cases of these 3 died giving a mortality of 81 With reference to the causes of Malarial Fever I quote from the Report of the Fever Commission page viii

per cent.

Earth Cuttings. According to W. C. MACLEAN, C.B., M.D., Professor of military medicine, in the Army Medical School, Netley, who was encamped in Hongkong before it was ceded to the British Government, the soil was but little disturbed and the troops did not suffer; but, when excavations were made at a subsequent time, for the construction of the City of Victoria, a fatal form of remittent fever appeared, which caused great mortality. From this and many subsequent experiences, earth cuttings, both in Hongkong and other countries, have been considered as an important factor in the production of conditions tending to the outbreak of fever. At the same time it is observed in some districts of Hongkong and more especially, at the present excavations going on at Kowloon, an im- munity from fever seems to exist in some places. In the Western District, however, earth cuttings of a recent date and of an extensive character have been in progress for some time, and the Commissioners cannot neglect the fact in the face of previous experience."

　　Dr. R. YOUNG, formerly Superintendent of this Hospital, has kindly given me a short emo- randum on an outbreak of Malarial Fever at Kowloon in 1878 which I append to this. (Appendix B.)

　　There are doubtless many causes necessary for the evolution of the Malarial Miasm, however almost universal Medical testimony points to earth-cutting as one of these causes, our experience at the Government Civil Hospital during the past year certainly seems to bear this out.

　　I would strongly advise that the recommendation of the Fever Commissioners, or some slight modification of the same, with reference to the limitation of the period of earth cuttings be entertained.

The type of this Fever in Hongkong certainly seems to have been modified.

　　Nothing is more certain than that Aguish Districts may be rendered healthy by drainage so we may hope that in future years the type of this disease may be less severe than it is at present.

Last summer in the cases of Remittent Fever' under treatment there were some abnormally- high temperatures in one of the cases that died the temperature taken per rectum registered 110.2° F. 9. Beri-beri-There were 16 cases of Beri-beri under treatment one of which died, this latter was a case of "Beri-beria Hydrops," the other 15 were of dry variety "Beri-beria Atrophia," all these with exception of two came from the Water Police.

　　The Sanitary Board having asked for information from the medical men in the Colony, concerning the prevalence, nature and habitat, of this disease as occurring in Hongkong I sent for their perusal a short memorandum the results of an enquiry I made with reference to the existence of this disease amongst the Water Police.

　　Appended to this report is the memorandum. (vide Appendix 4.) The first record of this disease as occurring in Hongkong I find in the Report of the Colonial Surgeon Dr. WILLIAM MORRISON for the year 1852.

1852. In this he states that :

Amongst the natives Dropsies assuming the character of.Beri-beri afforded the greatest number

of deaths.

　　Beri-beri has hitherto been regarded as a disease peculiar to Ceylon and its appearance kong excited some surprise."

1856.

in Hong-

Two cases of Beri-beri were also reported by Dr. DEMPSTER in Colonial Surgeon's Report for

598

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1889.

10. Alcoholism contributed 42 cases of these two were fatal, a mortality of 4.17 per cent.

These cases occurred chiefly amongst the destitute sailors.

11. 21 cases of poisoning were under treatment, the poisonous agents being opium, stramonium, and carbolic acid, the 5 deaths were caused by opium.

With reference to the Stramonium cases, the poisonous agent was part of the plant including the flowers of "Datura alba," this was administered in the food some of which the Police fortunately obtained.

The symptoms generally resembled those of poisoning by Henbane and Night shade, in addition however all these cases suffered from hallucinations and after recovery it was found that they had lost all memory of what had happened since they partook of the food a period of about 20 hours, they never were insensible during this time and were able to walk, but with difficulty, to the Hospital.

These hallucinations were decidedly, in the majority of cases, hilarious.

I add to this Report the notes of three cases of medical interest as is the custom in the Army and Navy Annual Medical Reports, in future years I hope to be able to report more such cases,

I also include a short report on the recent Small-pox Epidemic.

During the year 39 Post Mortem Examinations have been made some being of exceptional medical

interest.

The various appendices are as follows:---

Appendix A.-Memo. re" Beri-beri amongst the Water Police of Hongkong."

B.-Memo. of Dr. YOUNG on "Malarial Fever."

C-Medical Cases.

D.-Report of Small-pox Epidemic.

The total amount of fees received from patients during the year was $9,805.15 of this the Board of Trade paid $2,271.25 and the Police $1,080.88.

Before concluding I wish to thank the Naval and Military Surgeons and the Civil Doctors for their kindly assistance especially at operations.

GIFTS OF FLOWERS, NEWSPAPERS, &c.

The patients have been much indebted to several ladies of the Colony for frequent gifts of flowers, &c.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

J. MITFORD ATKINSON, M.B., (Lond.),

Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital.

Appendix A.

THE PREVALENCE OF BERI-BERI AMONGST THE WATER POLICE

OF HONGKONG.

The Sanitary Board having asked for information concerning the prevalence, nature, and habitat of this disease as occurring in Hongkong-I send for your perusal the results of an enquiry I have made with reference to the existence of this disease amongst the Water Police.

　　　The reason for my selecting this body of men for the purpose of investigation is that out of eleven cases of this disease admitted into the Government Civil Hospital this year, eight have been from the Water Police, of the other three, two were Europeans and the third was a Chinese Police Constable from the Central Station. I also heard on good authority that there had been a number of cases amongst these men who had refused to place themselves under European treatment.

The Water Police mainly consist of Chinamen and are employed on boat-duty in the Harbour of Victoria and the districts of Aberdeen, Shaukiwan, Whitfield and Yaumati.

These men are on duty for the period of six hours out of the twenty-four, the bulk of them being on duty from 6 P.M. to 6 A.M.

　　　They are under European officers, and their duty consists in patrolling the waters of the Harbour keeping watch amongst the sampans and junks.

　　　Their uniform consists of a Chinese helmet, a jacket and trousers made of drabette cloth, stock- ings and the usual Chinese shoes during the summer months, and in winter similar clothes made of blue serge. In wet weather they are provided with overcoats and capes. When off duty, they are quartered in the barracks, they provide themselves with food, and in the event of falling sick they are either sent to the Government Civil Hospital for treatment or they apply to the Inspector for leave; in some cases they will absent themselves without permission.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1889.

599

I have, since my arrival in the Colony, taken special interest in this particular disease, and in ad- dition to the cases I have had under treatment at the Civil Hospital I have had the opportunity of seeing many cases of this disease in the wards of the Alice Memorial Hospital.

As far as I can ascertain in those which have come under my notice, the patient, when attacked, complains of:-Numbness in the legs, accompanied by swelling (Edema) of the ankles, this is soon. followed by progressive loss of power in the legs, "he soon gets tired" and as this advances he finds it difficult to walk, at times his limbs will give way completely under him so that he often falls down, there is also a feeling of numbness in the feet, and a tingling followed by numbness in the tips of his fingers...

On admission to the Hospital he presents the following symptoms:

i. More or less swelling (Edema) of the ankles and feet. This seems to be the earliest symptom the Chinese complain of, although in some cases, it is altogether absent and is often very slight, in the severer forms of the disease this increases up the leg, and becomes general, in the one fatal case this was very marked, general dropsy supervening.

ii. A peculiar ataxic gait-when told to walk there is an unsteadiness in his gait, the patient feels that he is losing control over the movements of his legs and during pro- gression he lifts the foot up to an unnecessary height throws it forward and outwards and brings down the heel with a thud. In an advanced case at times, when walking he will suddenly lose all control over the muscles of his legs and fall down "all of a heap," and he cannot get up without assistance.

iii. On gently compressing the muscle of the calf with the finger and thumb considerable pain is experienced so much so that the patient will call out, this hyperesthetic con- dition of the muscles is very well marked, and in severer cases not only are the muscles of the calves affected but also the muscles of the thighs, of the arms, the pectoral muscles, and indeed nearly all the muscles of the body become similarly affected.

iv. Loss of power (parasis), with subsequent wasting in the muscles affected, those of the

legs, thighs and arms most generally undergoing this change.

v. There is an enfeeblement of the normal knee-jerk, and in well marked cases a complete

absence of the same.

vi. An irregular action of the heart, in none of the cases have I seen evidence of valvular implication. In the fatal case before mentioned there was a peculiar tumultuous heaving action of the heart, and for two or three days before death decided evidence of heart failure, showing that the muscle of the heart was probably affected by the same degenerative changes which evidently occur in the voluntary muscles.

The only disease with which this may be confounded is Locomotor ataxy,-in both the ataxic gait is present, indeed I had two cases in the Hospital, one of Beri-beri and another of Locomotor ataxia and from the gait you could not distinguish the two, in Locomotor ataxia however you do not get the hyperasthetic muscles, and you have a condition of the

condition of the eyes, the so called "Argyll Robertson phenomena, which you do not get in Beri-beri.

There are evidently two forms of the disease, the wet (Beri-beria hydrops), and the dry (Beri- beria atrophia.)

In the wet variety the Edema is much more marked and becomes in fact general all over the body, all the symptoms are more marked and the disease runs a rapidly fatal course.

In the dry variety the Edema, although generally present at first, is very slight and soon disappears, and the disease is rarely fatal. (Fayrer's Tropical Diseases.)

I have recently, through the courtesy of The Honourable W. M. DEANE, The Captain Superin- tendent of the Police, been enabled to examine the majority of the men in the Water Police, the exceptions being those absent on leave, the total Force numbering from 120 to 130 men.

　　　On October 12th I visited the Stations at Tsimtsatsui and Yaumati. Out of a total of one hundred and twelve (112) at these two stations, there were fourteen (14) men who had suffered from this disease. All these men showed signs of having had this disease, and on being questioned through the . Interpreter, stated that they had suffered from "Dropsy" accompanied by weakness in the legs, and in my opinion it was evidently Beri-beri from which they had been suffering.

Inspector CRADOCK, who has been connected with the Force for many years and is at present in charge of the Tsimtsatsui Station, seemed quite familiar with the symptoms of this disease and he informed me that it had been a common complaint amongst these men for some years past but more men had suffered from it during the present year. He also stated that in many cases a fatal result had followed in a very short time.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1889.

　　Inspector CORCORAN who is at present in charge of the Station at Shaukiwan informed me that during three months of this year (March-May) when he was in charge of the Tsimtsatsui Station, three men died from this disease at their own homes within a short time of their having left the Force.

　　Two of the Lukongs (Chinese Constables) said that they had cured themselves by substituting beans for rice in their diet and by eating more fish, and that they had been advised to do this by a Chinese Doctor. This fact is very interesting, as in the Japanese Navy, where the disease is common, the cases were found to improve by adopting a more nitrogenous diet, substituting beans and peas for rice, the former as is well known containing much more Nitrogen, and after this change in the diet fewer cases occurred.

On October 14th I visited the Stations of Aberdeen and Shaukiwan; at the former one man out of four stationed there showed evidence of having suffered from this disease, and he informed me that he had had an attack three months ago, and that he had been cured by some Chinese medicine which he had obtained in Hongkong.

At Shaukiwan where four of these men are stationed one had suffered from this disease eight months ago. Inspector CORCORAN also informed me that one Lukong had been attacked by this disease in September last and after being ill for a few days had left the Force and gone to his home at Stanley where he died five days after. He left the Force on September 15th and died at Stanley on September 20th; this from his account was evidently a case of "Beri-beria hydrops." When at this station, I visited the Chinese Doctor to whom the men applied for advice when attacked by this disease and he evidently was quite familiar with it. He told me that the Chinese name for this disease is Shap-Hi (Dampness rising up), and his treatment consists in giving the man as much animal food (mutton, beef, &c.) as they can eat in lieu of their usual rice, together with certain drugs. He says the disease is very common in Hongkong, and that there are several varieties of it, he has also seen cases in his own district (Tung-koon) in the interior, but there the disease is much more

rare.

The foregoing shows that out of one hundred and twenty-one (121) men examined (including one under treatment at present in the Hospital), seventeen (17) have had this disease, this being equivalent to 14.05 per cent.

　　With respect to the fatality of the disease, out of the eight cases I had in the Hospital one proved fatal, in addition to these, three fatal cases occurred in the Force stationed at Tsimtsatsui and one in the Force at Shaukiwan, giving five deaths this year in the entire Force of say one hundred and thirty men or a mortality of 3.84 per cent., or 17.24 per cent. of those attacked with the disease.

With regard to the infectious nature of the disease there is some difference of opinion; I have not myself in these cases coming under my treatment adopted any special precautions and have noticed no ill-effects.

　　In the Annual Medical Report of the Straits Settlements Civil Hospitals for the year 1886 Dr. ROWELL states page 9, section 81:---

　　"As regards the contagiousness of the disease, this has been quite absent. The patients have not been placed in separate wards, but scattered among the other patients, none of whom have con- tracted the disease. Nor have the clothes conveyed the disease, for they are changed at stated periods, washed and redistributed amongst the patients, beri-beri or not, but without fresh cases occurring amongst the other sick."

On the other 1 (vide British Medical Journal of December 5th, 1886) Doctors CORNELLISSEN and SUGENOYA, who have been recently investigating the disease in Acheen, conclude that:

i. It is a contagious disease.

ii. Beri-beri patients infect certain localities, and persons in good health coming from districts free from beri-beri, and settling in those infected districts, contract the disease.

iii. That wooden structures retain the infectious product more than brick buildings. iv. That contagion through the means of wearing apparel had been observed.

　　I am of opinion from the observations I have made that the prevalence of the disease in Hongkong is such as to require careful investigation by the Medical Profession.

　　In conclusion I would express my indebtedness to Dr. MANSON for giving me the benefit of his long experience of this disease which is one peculiar to the Tropics.

MEMORANDUM re MALARIAL FEVER, KOWLOON POINT.

601

As near as I can remember it was during the summer or South-west Monsoon of 1878 that I attended an exceptionally large number of cases of Malarial Fever near Kowloon Point.

Coincident with these cases was the extensive fresh cutting of earth required in the preparation of the site for the New Water Police Station.

You will see on reference to the sketch plan of Kowloon Peninsular attached * that the prevailing winds of that season would blow over the houses and grounds of the building lots marked (2) on either side of Robinson Road (3.) None of these houses were clear of the fever. In the one marked x, with the exception of the cook, every one in the establishment was ill and all were attacked about the same time. It was thus not confined to Europeans but was equally bad amongst the Native Servants.

One death occurred in the house under where the Observatory is now, and another member of the same family suffered from repeated attacks and had to remain in Hongkong in order to keep clear of fever.

MEDICAL CASES.

I.-CASE OF FRAMBESIA.

Englishman, at. 38, admitted 6th July, 1888, with the following history:-That he had con- tracted a syphilitic sore at Malta in 1st week of May of this year, this appearing some 16 days after connection with a coloured woman; in about a week after this sore appeared he noticed a small pimple on 4th finger of left-hand, this enlarged and spread until it has reached the size it now is; some two days after this as far as he can remember, a similar sore appeared on fore-finger of right hand, then another on the wrist, and in a few days later the outer side of middle-finger of right-hand became similarly affected evidently from contact with the sore on the right fore-finger, in like manner from the sore on the, 4th finger of left-hand the inner side of left little finger became affected.

About 10 days after the first pimple appeared on fingers, i.e. (in the first week of June)-a similar sore appeared on inner side of right ankle this soon spread discharging f?tid matter and being very painful.

Similarly the second and third toes of each foot became affected.

On admission-he presented sores in all these regions which may be described as-"spreading tubercular-like ulcerated surfaces, presenting distinct up-growths or excrescences of a more or less convex form, and a dirty pinkish colour-these fungoid growths secreting an offensive ichorous discharge, on removing which flabby granulations were exposed."

Two weeks after admission other similar sores appeared on the face, head and heel; I think the patient must have infected these regions with the discharge from the existing sores by means of his fingers.

Those on the heel were extremely painful, the Yaw eruption evidently commencing beneath the thick cuticle and some days elapsing before the excrescences broke through the skin, when they did, there was a profuse sanious discharge-very offensive. About this time there was slight secondary ulcera-

tion of throat.

Treatment.-Consisted in the internal and external administration of mercury, keeping the sores clean, and relieving the pain by the frequent application of a five per cent. solution of Cocaine, first of all the Bichloride was used, and afterwards the Double Iodide of Mercury and Arsenic, the diet being a liberal one; he gradually improved and was discharged perfectly cured on 15th of August.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1889.

　　Remarks. This disease is a very rare one amongst Europeans. Dr. MANSON who sent the patient here informed me that it was extremely rare, I have never heard of a European being affected with it before. It raises the important question whether Yaws is a distinct malady sui generis? or only a variety or modified form of syphilis, leprosy, or some other cachexia? (Vide Report on Leprosy and Yaws in the West Indies addressed to Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies by GAVIN MILROY, M.D., 1873.)

　　Whether syphilitic or not certainly this case tends to prove that antisyphilitic measures cure the disease, and in the Report above mentioned several Doctors (Dr. KEELAN and BOWERBANK) state that mercury is their sheet anchor in the treatment of this disease. May it not possibly be a rare modifica tion of syphilis, fostered and engendered amidst poverty squalor and dirt, as evinced in its prevalence and virulence amongst the natives of the West Indies prior to their Emancipation from slavery, it is undoubtedly a fact that the disease is inoculable, as from the foregoing Report we learn that "Negroes used to inoculate their children with the disease partly from the belief that they must pass through the disease at one period or another and partly as it afforded to the idly-disposed a pretext. for shirking work in the cane-fields."

Doubtless in this case the patient was unfortunate enough to contract this disease in Malta.

II.--CASES OF DATURA POISONING.

Five Chinese coolies ages varying from 14-28 years, were admitted to the Hospital on the 17th July last with a Police order stating that they had been drugged.

An emetic was at once administered and the contents of the stomach kept for the purposes of analysis.

The patients were all much in the same condition-suffering from various hallucinations evidently due to some interference with muscular co-ordination, delirium-(this delirium being decidedly hilarious), their gait was very unsteady, and in one that of NG-A-YING at. 18 insensibility set in about quarter of an hour after admission-this patient having probably taken more of the poison.

In each case the pupils were widely dilated, and the pulse very quick, strong coffee was adminis- tered and they were carefully watched during the night-next morning most of them were better the exception being the youth alone named, he still remained semi-insensible and subsultus-tendinum, picking at the bed clothes, &c., was strongly marked, in all the temperature two hours after admission was slightly increased (99-6° F.) they gradually improved, and informed me the next morning that on evening of the 17th they all went to a Chinese eating-house for their evening meal, and shortly after partaking of the food which consisted chiefly of boiled rice with fresh vegetables and fish, they became giddy and forgot all that happened afterwards.

The contents of the stomach were carefully analysed by Mr. CROW, the Government Analyst, and was found to contain some of the dried flowers of the Datura Alba the Nau Yeung-fa # in Chinese nomenclature. An alcoholic extract was obtained which evidently contained a powerful mydriatic alkaloid- this was proved by applying a few drops to a monkey's conjunctiva in three minutes the pupil became widely dilated, this result occurring much earlier when applied to the human

eye.

This plant is very common in Hongkong and is evidently much used by the Chinese as a stupe- fying agent.*

　　　There was a similar case under treatment in the early part of this year-this was the first case of the kind I had seen it perplexed me considerably. his symptoms were more severe, the pupils were widely dilated, insensibility more severe almost extending to coma, it was with great difficulty he could be aroused, and he had completely lost all muscular power, he did not recover for some six or seven days and for some time he had completely lost his memory.

III. CASE OF TYPHOID FEVER SIMULATING TYPHUS.

H. R. C., a Swedish sailor, at. 23, was admitted to the Hospital on 30th October last with the following history:--

That he had been feeling unwell for last few days, suffering from a feeling of general lassitude and slight diarrhoea.

He became much worse yesterday, having had one or two shivering fits.

On admission he was feverish, Temperature 101° F., skin hot and pungent, and he presented a roseolar eruption on the front of his chest and abdomen, no gurgling in right iliac fossa, tongue was the red at tip and edges and coated with a thick white fur, his pulse was 96, and he stated that his bowels had been open three times that morning.

* Notes on Chinese Materia Medica, by C. Ford. F.L.S.; Hokai, M.B.; and W. E. Crow 8, Datura Alba in China Review, Vol. XVI., p. 2.

604

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1889.

Out of the total number of case eighty-four had previously been vaccinated, of these four died-a mortality of 3.36 per cent.-of the remaining twenty-seven cases nineteen died-a mortality of 70.37 per cent.-in three of the latter series it could not be ascertained whether the patient had been vacci- nated or not as they were suffering from the "hamorrhagic" variety of the disease: excluding these cases, we still have sixteen deaths out of twenty-four unvaccinated cases or a mortality of 66.6 per

cent.

‧

Conclusions drawn from such a small number of cases are necessarily more or less fallacious, but the difference is sufficiently striking to demonstrate the extraordinary modification of the disease induced by the protective influence of previous vaccination, and "It may be laid down as a fact ad- mitting of no question, that whenever Small-pox attacks a community the unvaccinated portion of that community will suffer in enormously greater proportion than the vaccinated." *

Treatment:-With regard to the prevention of pitting by the use of local remedies, nothing of course has been found of any avail where the primary inflammation has been intense enough to cause sloughing of the bed of the pock; but much of the eventual deformity is caused by the ulceration and erosion of the skin which goes on under the scabs.

The constant application of antiseptic oils will check the formation of pus under the crusts and in this way prevent the ulceration and subsequent pitting.

A mask of lint kept constantly on the skin, and moistened two or three times daily with carbolic oil (1 in 20) has given very good results. It is applied when the rash is maturing and in many cases after five or six days the scabs have peeled off leaving a slightly red rough surface with little or no loss of substance. Only two cases were sent away with deep pits, and the majority are marked no more than after a slight attack of Impetigo or Varicella.

　　As I understand the question of the site of the Hospital for Infectious Diseases is still sub judice I would take this opportunity of referring to the suggestion I made in my letter of 14th December, 1887, (C.S.O. No. 2797/89).

In that letter I advised that a hulk or disused man-of-war be fitted up for the treatment of such cases as was done in London the Castalia being so fitted up during the Small-pox Epidemic of 1884. I certainly think that this scheme presents many advantages over erecting a large Hospital on the Island of Hongkong, it would not involve such a large expenditure more perfect isolation would be ensured, it would also be more advantageous to the patients on account of the greater coolness, &c.

If such could be obtained the present Small-pox Hospital premises after a little alteration might be used as Receptive wards where all cases of Infectious Disease might be taken to for purposes of observation before transferring them to the Hulk, as many of these diseases are very obscure in their

onset.

The hulk would require to be large enough to contain some sixty beds.

Enclosure 3.

Report of the Government Analyst.

609

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 6th April, 1889.

　　SIR,I have the honour to submit a statement of the work done in the temporary laboratory of this Hospital during the year 1888.

　　2. Owing to my being appointed to act as Sanitary Superintendent and Secretary to the Sanitary Board during the absence of Mr. HUGH MCCALLUM, only the most necessary investigations were conducted during the period under review.

MILK.

　　3. Judging from the results of the regular monthly analyses of the milk supplied to the Hospital when compared with the figures showing the composition of the samples obtained at the contractor's dairy by an Inspector of the Sanitary Department, the Medical Staff have every reason to be satisfied with the excellent quality of the deliveries of this important article of diet.

　　4. From the average result of the analyses made at regular intervals throughout the year it is evident that the milk supplied to the patients can be favourably compared to that distributed, by the Aylesbury Dairy Farm Company in England.

　　5. Dr. VIETH in his report on the work done in the Aylesbury Dairy Farm Company's Laboratory during 1884, gives 12.9 as the average percentage of total solids.* The average obtained in this labo- ratory during 1888 was 12.8. These two results, which show the quantity of actual water-free food contained in the milk are practically identical.

　　6. My attention has been drawn, privately, to certain passages in my report for the year 1887 on the subject of the necessity of checking the quality of the milk supplied to the Medical Department which, at the time, were evidently misunderstood by persons interested in the contracting Company. It should be remembered that the object of the analytical investigation of food is to arrive at facts concerning its composition which are unobtainable in any other way, and that any remarks by those who understand the constitution of such articles should, if received in a proper spirit, be as much a benefit to those responsible for the management of dairies as they are to the public generally. The delivery to the consumer of milk in its original purity depends on a number of details that cannot be too carefully watched.

　　7. Only one sample of milk was analyzed for the Magistrates during the past year. The specimen was certainly a very suspicious one, but in the absence of authentic information as to its source 1 was unable to certify that it contained added water.

TOXICOLOGICAL.

8. The following investigations were conducted under this head during 1888.

　　9. Datura Poisoning.-In July a chemical examination was ordered by Government of a quantity of fish-stew of which five carpenters were said to have partaken. As these men when under treatment in the Hospital had displayed symptoms that might be referred to a mydriatic poison a direct search was made for the alkaloid atropine, the active principle of several species of Datura and other plants of the Natural Order Solanacea.

　　10. During the course of the physical examination of the contents of the stew a large number of sections of a flower were noticed which bore a striking resemblance to parts of the Chinese drug Nau Yeung-fa the flowers of Datura alba, Nees.?

11. As there is no known chemical reaction by which atropine can be, with certainty, detected it was necessary to rely on a physiological test. An alkaloidal extract of the stew was accordingly pre- pared for ophthalmic use and handed to the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital under whose care the victims had come soon after the matter was reported to the Police.

12. In respect of the physiological action of the extract, Dr. ATKINSON certified as follows:-

"From the results of certain experiments carried out at the Civil Hospital this afternoon with a liquid submitted to me by the Government Analyst, I have no doubt that such liquid contained the alkaloid or active principle of one of the mydriatic poisons."

(Signed), J. M. ATKINSON, M.B. (Lond.)

27th July, 1888.

　　13. The discovery of a mydriatic alkaloid was strong evidence of the poisonous nature of the food, and the presence in the stew of parts of a flower closely resembling the Nau Yeung-fa of Chinese Materia Medica warranted the assumption that Datura alba, a plant common enough in waste places on this Island and on the neighbouring mainland, was the agent that had been employed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERN MENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1889.

　　　14. It is, however, almost impossible to speak with absolute certainty on the latter point. It is true that with the sole exception of a single specimen of Datura Stramonium, Linn, discovered on this Island in 1887,* only one species of Datura viz., Datura alba, Nees, has been recorded from S. China. Mr. MORRIS, the Assistant Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, writing under date 21st of October, 1887, informs me however that "in all probability one, or more, other species exist." Moreover there are numbers of Solanaceous plants throughout China the flowers of which, when cut up and incor- porated with food, it would be difficult to distinguish from those of the Thorn Apple, and which may contain alkaloids that cannot be distinguished, in cases of poisoning, from atropine.

　　　15. In the case under notice a man, who had assisted in the preparation of the stew, was charged with administering a stupefying drug and tried at the Supreme Court, but the case fell to the ground through lack of evidence.

16. Alleged tea drugging.-In August an examination was ordered by Government of some tea infusion which it was alleged had produced dizziness in two women who had drank thereof. Unlike the case quoted above there was no real trustworthy evidence of poisoning. Both women when brought to the Hospital by the Police appeared to have nothing the matter with them, and as they refused to remain until the arrival of a Doctor, the analyst was left without the clue which could have been given by a physiologist had they been only slightly under the influence of some poison or other. 17. In this instance, although according to the Police report there was reason to suppose that the women had been under the influence of some drug, all the attempts made to discover a poisonous principle in the tea failed.

18. Where the Police have suspicion of poisoning it is of the greatest importance to let a Doctor see the supposed victims with the least possible delay. In a case of poisoning by the Chinese drug Tin Cheung-tso, the active principle of which was first isolated in this laboratory in 1884,? and identified with Gelsemium elegans, Benth., a loss of time may mean the life of a victim. In a trumped up case of poisoning a Medical man could, by early observation, probably save weeks of fruitless work on the part of the Analyst.

　　　19. The circumstances of this case would suggest the desirability in all instances where the Police consider it necessary to take persons to Hospital who are alleged to have been poisoned, of their receiving standing orders to detain the suspected persons until a Doctor arrives on the scene.

　　　20. Before leaving this section of my report I would respectfully urge on the Government the necessity of introducing measures for controlling the sale of certain medicines which are used by the Chinese for criminal poisoning. The value to the Police of a Sale of Pois ns Ordinance in their en- deavours to secure the detection of the Crime of poisoning would, I believe, be considerable.

　　　21. It will of course be urged that the usefulness of such a measure, in respect of the sale of vegetable poisons, is by no means evident, seeing that there are, growing wild in the Colony, the very plants which furnish the drug the sale of which it is proposed to control; and that a criminal would be hardly likely to purchase of a druggist or herbalist a poison which he could gather without much trouble in the Colony. Objections of this character are of course entitled to some weight. A perusal of the records of the crime of murder by poisoning will, however, show that the criminal, in matters of detail, is by no means so astute as people imagine.

22. I will only incidentally allude to this matter now as it is my intention to lay my views on this subject before the Government in the form of a special communication.

　　　23. Poisonous cheese. In July an analysis was ordered by Government of certain articles in connection with the poisoning of a number of men belonging to the Band of the 58th, Northamptonshire, Regiment.

24. The facts of the case are as follows:

About 10.30. on the night of the 22nd of July, the men of the Band after the usual per- formance in the Botanical Gardens, had a supper, consisting of coffee, bread and cheese, soon after their return to barracks. All the men, viz. 38, had coffee and bread; but only 25 ate cheese. Out of the latter number, 22 were taken ill between 1.30 and 5.30 on the following morning. Three of the men who had partaken of the cheese did not experience any ill-effects.

The symptoms displayed by the sufferers were:-"Burning pain in the stomach and violent vomiting, causing partial collapse." This information was obligingly furnished by Dr. H. A. THOMPSON, A.M.S., the Medical Officer in charge of the 2nd Battalion of the Northamptonshire Regiment.

Thirteen of the sufferers were so bad that they had to go to

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Hospital, and of these, two were very seriously ill. All the men ultimately recovered. None of them had been ill before from eating cheese. All had enjoyed their former meals that day and were in perfect health before going to the Gardens. They did not have any refreshments while in the Gardens.

　　　25. The chemical investigation was limited to the examination of a vomit and some cheese which had been handed to me by Major ELLIS and also of a quantity of bread and cheese forwarded to me by the Captain Superintendent of Police, and was conducted with a view to finding a poisonous metal in all of the above mentioned substances and an acrid oily principle in the cheese, but all the attempts in this direction proved unsuccessful.

26. From the above particulars it will be seen that there were good reasons for assuming that the cheese was the cause of the mischief, but I am unable to adduce any evidence in confirmation of this theory. Two rats were fed on the cheese for several days but they did not exhibit any signs of poisoning.

　　　27. It is quite possible that there was some obscure principle in the cheese, developed probably by a process of fermentation, which caused the poisonous symptoms displayed by the Bandsmen. It is noteworthy that three of the men who partook of the cheese were in no way affected: a fact, which would lead one to infer that, in cheese poisoning, idiosyncrasy may play a not unimportant part.

　　　28. Mention should here be made that, at the period of the year referred to, several civilians complained of violent sickness after eating cheese.

29. I avail myself of this opportunity for conveying my best thanks to Major W. T. ELLIS, who was then in command of the 2nd Battalion of the 58th Regiment, for the valuable assistance rendered me while investigating this obscure case of poisoning.

GENERAL REMARKS.

30. Students.-The Senior Student Apothecary, Mr. U I KAI has worked well during the past year and is making satisfactory progress with his studies. The Junior Student, Mr. CHAU KAM Tsun only entered on his duties on the 15th of October last. His appointment has not yet been confirmed.

　　　31. Laboratory.-The analyses required by Government have been conducted in the temporary laboratory provided in this Hospital some years ago. It is to be hoped that the time is approaching when these make-shift arrangements can be dispensed with. The analytical work for the Government of this Colony is frequently of a very trying nature: that required in forensic cases entails a very heavy responsibility which ought only to be borne by a Chemist who has the best means at his disposal that both art and science can suggest. More than five years have now elapsed since the time when I was assured a suitable laboratory would have been provided. The work during the past five years has, however, not been without some good results, but its usefulness has been restricted by the limited nature of the investigations through want of proper accommodation.

32. It would be well if, when a new laboratory is built, advantage could be taken of the presence of the Government Analyst in England for securing the necessary appliances for furnishing the building. 33. My thanks are due to Mr. MALCOLM WATSON, the Assistant Apothecary, for the assistance he has given me in the Laboratory during the past year.

I have the honour to be,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th July, 1889.

No. 15.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Colonial Secretary.

Minutes of the Proceedings of the SANITARY BOARD, at a Meeting held on Wednesday, the 19th of June, 1889:-

PRESENT:

The Surveyor General, (The Honourable SAMUEL BROWN), President.

The Acting Captain Superintendent of Police, (Major-General ALEXANDER HERMAN ADAM GORDON), Vice-President. The Acting Registrar General, (The Honourable NORMAN GILBERT MITCHELL-INNES).

The Honourable WONG SHING.

JOHN JOSEPH FRANCIS, Esquire, Q.C.

NATHANIEL JOSEPH EDE, Esquire.

ABSENT:

The Colonial Surgeon, (Dr. PHILIP BERNARD CHENERY AYRES).

JOHN DAVID HUMPHREYS, Esquire.

Dr. JAMES CANTLIE.

Dr. Ho KAI.

The Board met pursuant to adjournment.

The Minutes of a meeting held on the 5th June, 1889, were read and confirmed.

The President informed the Board that the statement made by the Secretary, in perfect good faith, at the last meeting. regarding the communication from the Government as to the change in the Presidency of the Board was not correct. The letter in question was at the time actually in the hands of the Secretary, although he had not seen it.

A letter from the Honourable Colonial Secretary informing the Board that His Excellency the Governor has no objection to further time being taken by it to consider the question of the best method to be adopted for the final disposal of the city refuse.

Mortality Statistics.-The returns for the weeks ended the 1st, 8th and 15th June were laid on the table by the Secretary.

The President addressed the Board on the position of the Official Members of the Board as to voting on any matter under the consideration of the Board, and he laid it down that there were no instructions to Official Members as to how they were to vote on any subject, and that they were free to vote in any manner they deemed right.

Bye-laws under Sub-section 6 of Section 13 of Ordinance 24 of 1887.-Mr. FRANCIS submitted that it is useless to proceed with these bye-laws because there is, since the repeal of Ordinances 10 of 1872 and 7 of 1885, no laws in force dealing with the disposal of night-soil or city refuse, and therefore no possibility of framing bye-laws. Bye-laws are to carry into effect laws already existing; and he moved, that the power of the Board to make bye-laws on this subject be submitted to the Attorney General, through the Government, for his opinion.

Mr. EDE seconded Mr. FRANCIS' motion.

Question-put and passed.

Letting of Contracts.-The Vice-President moved,--

That the whole subject of surface scavenging, the removal and disposal of night-soil and of other refuse, and the Contracts relating thereto, be referred to a Committee consisting of Mr. Ede, The Acting Registrar General, The Honourable Wong Shing, and Mr. Francis to report to the Board at its next Meeting.

The President seconded.

Question-put and passed.

　　Final Disposal of City Refuse. In the absence of Dr. CANTLIE, Mr. FRANCIs moved, that Mr. MCCALLUM be asked to report fully, at an early date, to the Board on the following points regarding his proposal for the final disposal of the City Refuse:-

1. Is the proposed site in any way a harbour of refuge?

2. Is the proposed method of disposal likely to give rise to the washing up of organic debris on the foreshore in

the neighbourhood?

3. Is the scheme, if carried out, likely to interfere with any anchorage for shipping?

4. For about what period will the place suffice for the reception of the refuse?

5. What other towns are known to have adopted a similar method of disposal of their refuse to that proposed, and

what has been the result?

At the request of Mr. EDE he added the following three additional questions :-

6. Will not this mass of refuse generate unhealthy gases which must escape somehow even with a superin-

cumbent layer of earth?

7. Having regard to the quantity likely to be evolved, what is the minimum distance at which such gases when

mixed with air are innocuous ?

8. What would be the estimated cost of erecting the necessary barriers to prevent any of the refuse from being

carried away by the tides or washed away by the hill streams and storm waters?

Mr. EDE Seconded.

The Vice-President addressed the Board and moved as an amendment,-

That a Committee be appointed consisting of the Hon. S. Brown, Dr. Ayres, Dr. Cantlie, and Mr. Humphreys

to enquire into and report upon the sanitary and engineering considerations regarding the final disposal of the city refuse.

The Hon. WONG SHING seconded the Vice-President's amendment.

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.

SHIPPING.

2. The total trade of Hongkong for the year 1888 is represented by 63,967 vessels measuring 12,996,396 tons. (This is an advance of 174 vessels and 357,702 tons on the average for the previous

years, and is 359 vessels more, but 28,939 tons less than in 1887.)

3. This vast amount of trade is apportioned as follows:-

British, Foreign,

Junks in Foreign Trade,

Junks in Local Trade,

Number. Tons.

Per Cent.

5,121 6,474,343 or 49. 2,460 2,532,334 or 19. 47,567 3,703,707 or 29.

55,148 12,710,384

8,819

286,012 or 2.

63,967 12,996,396

　　4. Compared with 1887. There has been a decrease of British tonnage amounting to 342.705 tons; and an increase of Foreign tonnage, exclusive of Junks, of 179,848 tons; also an increase of Junks, exclusive of local trade, of 143,781 tons, and a decrease in Junks employed in local trade of 9,863 tons.

636

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH JULY, 1889.

5. The countries with which the decrease of British tonnage is most apparent are:-

Coast of China and Formosa,

Cochin-China,

Continent of Europe,

Australia,.

6. The principal increase appears with the following countries:

British Columbia,

Great Britain, Japan,

.....

‧

190,977 tons. 123,894

‧

104,201

22,178

22,173

121,066

40,918

　　7. The principal decrease, that with Coast of China and Formosa, may be partly accounted for by the fact that, during the year several steamers trading on the Coast, which were formerly under the British flag, were transferred to the German flag. The decrease under the heading of Continent of Europe is partly consequent on this trade being carried more in. Foreign bottoms. But it is more largely due to an alteration in the system of classification adopted in this Report. In former Reports, the vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental Company calling at Brindisi and Marseilles en route were classed under the heading of "Continent of Europe," while now they are classed under "Great Britain." With Australia, the decrease must be put down to the altered circumstances of trade con- sequent on the suppression of Chinese Emigration to the Australian Colonies.

　　8. During the year, 3,660 steamers arrived, being a daily average of over 10, 7 of which were "Ocean going."

They represented a total tonnage of 4,416,000, over 68 per cent. of them were under the British flag.

9. The statistics show an increase in the Junk trade over last year, with the Coast of China and Formosa of 103,497 tons, and with Macao of 40,284 tons. There is a decrease however of 9,863 tons in the local trade.

10. On the 31st December there were 91 steam-launches in the Harbour, of these, 41 were licensed for the conveyance of passengers, 42 were privately owned, and 8 were the property of the Colonial Government. There were, in addition, 6 launches, the property of the War Department.

EMIGRATION.

...

11. During the year 1888, 96,195 Emigrants left Hongkong, of these, 72,744 (65,976 males, 5,109 females, and 1,659 children) were for the Straits Settlements; 18,275 (18,119 males, 95 females, and 61 children) were for San Francisco; 1,972 (1,942 males, 3 females, and 27 children) were for the Australian Colonies. Owing to the restrictions placed on Chinese Emigration by the various Govern- ments in the Australian Colonies, Emigration there has been practically stopped since the month of May, 1888.

12. The subject of abuses connected with Chinese Emigration has lately received much attention. That abuses do exist there can, I think, be little doubt, but I question much if they exist to the extent which some suppose. Frequent cases of so-called "kidnapping" are reported, but, except in the case of women or children, my impression is that in a large number of these reported cases, the so-called "kid- napped" coolie is a rogue, who, having agreed to emigrate and received a "bounty" for so doing, either escapes from the vessel as she is leaving the harbour, or gets some of his friends to report that he has been taken away against his will in the hopes that he may be taken out of the ship before leaving, or traced and sent back from the port for which he has sailed, in either case, if he is successful, he will be ready to try his game on again sooner or later.. The jumping overboard of "kidnapped" coolies from out- ward bound Chinese passenger ships, of which a good deal was heard a short time ago is one of the symptoms of abuses in which I do not believe. It is a curious fact that few if any of these individuals are ever heard of after jumping overboard, though they are seen to be picked up by boats which appear to be waiting for them. It is more than probable, I think, that in nearly all these cases, could they be clearly traced, it would be found that this "kidnapped one was really either a "Bounty Jumper

or else a thief who had got on board surreptitiously and remained as long as he could, with a view of seeing what there was to be picked up, and who, having done all he could in the time at his disposal, cleared out by jumping overboard at a suitable spot where his friends would be waiting to pick him up in a boat.

13. Cases of forged contract passage tickets have come under my notice, also cases of Emigrants going on board after the medical inspection by the Health Officer and the issue of the Emigration Officer's Certificate. During the past year, on one occasion under the latter circumstances I detained the vessel until the number on board corresponded with the number passed by the Health Officer and certified to by me. A claim was made for compensation for this detention, but it was not persisted in. As one precaution against fraud, every ticket is now numbered as the owner passes before the Health Officer and Emigration Officer's Deputy on board. A further proposed precaution is to have the tickets printed on specially prepared paper in order that forgeries may be readily recognized, but no means adopted by the Government will prove wholly effectual, unless we have the active co-operation of the Agents or Charterers and the Master of the vessel towards the prevention of abuses.

　　14. The present system of the Emigrants going on board at any time after their passing at the Harbour Office and before the sailing of the vessel, and while the vessel is lying in the Roads, in a great measure open to the public,-since the officers and crew are so fully employed in their other

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH JULY, 1889.

637

duties as to make it impracticable for them to attend to coolies coming and going-is conducive to abuses, and I think that the best remedy would be found in the establishment of a Government Emi- gration Wharf alongside which vessels would take on board their Emigrants at the last moment before sailing, the wharf being closed to the public after the Health Officer and Emigration Officer had passed through the gates to go on board for the final inspection of the Emigrants, and the vessel leaving immediately after this inspection. This method would doubtless cause some little delay in getting the vessel off, and for that reason is open to objection, I think however that the evil would be more than compensated for by the good which would accrue.

REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.

　　15. Nine vessels were registered during the year and eight certificates of Registry were cancelled. It has been brought to my notice that inconvenience exists in the want of a simpler mode of Registry whereby sinall vessels British owned could obtain a "National Character," and be entitled to fly the British flag outside the waters of the Colony. This inconvenience can, I think, be removed under the Colonial Shipping Act 1868 (31 and 32 Vic. Cap. 129) which enables Regulations to be made providing for the issue to Vessels under 60 tons burden of terminable certificates of Registry under which the Vessel so long as the certificate is in force, is deemed a registered British vessel, and I am now preparing regulations to be submitted to His Excellency the Governor with this object in

view.

MARINE MAgistrate's Court.

16. Seventy cases were heard in the Marine Magistrate's Court during the year.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　"Refusal of duty, ""Insubordination" and "Absence without leave" were the principal offences in the case of ships, and Leaving without clearance" and " Leaving during prohibited hours," in the case of

Junks.

MARINE COURTS UNDER SECTION 13 OF ORDINANCE No. 8 OF 1879.

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

　　1. On the 20th February, 1888. Inquiry as to the stranding of the British Steam-ship Ardgay, Official No. 88,869 of Aberdeen, a little to the North of Cape Batangan, on the 15th December, 1887. The Master's (ALEXANDER COOK) Certificate of Competency was suspended for three months.

　　2. On the 1st May, 1888. Inquiry as to the stranding of the British Steam-ship Ashington, Official No. 63,010 of South Shields, on the West Point of Hongkong Island in the Channel named on the Chart Sulphur Channel, on the night of the 20th April, 1888. The Master's (WALTER REYNELL) Certificate of Competency was returned to him.

　　3. On the 11th May, 1888. Inquiry as to the abandonment of the British ship Rock Terrace, Official No. 72,217 of St. John, New Brunswick, off the Island of Guam, on the 29th February, 1888. The Master's (STEPHEN BARNES ATKINSON) Certificate of Competency was suspended for six months, and that of the First Mate (AUGUSTUS HARRIS) was also suspended for six months.

　　4. On the 5th June, 1888. Inquiry respecting certain charges of misconduct brought against ROBERT LYLE, First Mate of the British Steam-ship Crusader, Official No. 63,856 of Glasgow, by JOHN OGSTON, Master of the said ship. The First Mate's Certificate of Competency was returned to him.

　　5. On the 24th October, 1888. Inquiry as to the death of HENRY WILKINS, A.B., of the British Steam-ship Ghazee, Official No. 87,678 of Rochester, who was washed overboard by a sea which swept the steamer's decks during the Typhoon encountered on the 29th September, 1888. The Master's (ARCHIBALD SCOTLAND) Certificate of Competency was returned to him.

SEAMEN.

‧

　　19. 10,061 seamen were shipped and 10,807 were discharged at the shipping office and on board ships during the year.

MARINE SURVEYOR'S SUB-DEPARTMENT.

　　20. I append a Return showing the Surveys, &c., carried out in the Government Marine Surveyor's Branch. This Return illustrates the constantly increasing importance of that Branch of this Depart-

ment.

LIGHT HOUSES.

　　21. No special remarks are called for under this heading. The three Lighthouse Stations have been maintained during the year as usual, some minor changes taking place in the staff. The proposal to dispense with the red shades on the seaward face of the Green Island Light is under consideration, this plan, if adopted, will, in my opinion, increase the efficiency of the light.

GOVERNMENT GUNPOWDER DEPOT.

　　22. On the 31st December, 1888, there was stored in the Magazine at Stone Cutter's Island, as under :-

　　23. This is a smaller amount than has been in the Magazine for some years, probably owing to the fact of the market being glutted with the very large amount of explosive material which arrived

aring and immediately after the period of hostilities between France and China.

　　24. The Agents of Nobel's Explosives Company have during the past year established, with the permission of the Government, a private magazine for storing Dynamite, &c., at One Tree Island, thus relieving the Stone Cutters' Magazine of the storage. There is of course a corresponding loss to the Government of rent for storage, but there was no fit special place for keeping it at Stone Cutters, and on the whole I think the present arrangement the better of the two.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS (OPIUM) OFFICE.

25. This is the first complete year of the establishment of this Branch, and. I have to report that it is working satisfactorily. Monthly statistics are rendered, it will therefore not be necessary to go into details here, a table is added to this report which shows that the total amount of opium reported through the office during the year was as follows:-

Imported, Exported,

.71,512 27 chests. .........71,139 27

(Exclusive of through cargo.)

The fraction is explained by the fact that one "broached" chest was landed here containing 27 instead of 40 balls, and was exported in the same condition, 21,310 permits were issued from the office being 384 Landing, 10,958 Removal, 9,498 Export, and 470 to Chinese Customs hulk.

26. In addition to these, a Memo: of Exports for the day is sent for the convenience of the

Chinese Customs' Commissioner to the Kowloon Customs' Office.

27. From the summary of Exports it appears that apart from the through cargo, Shanghai took from the Colony 37 per cent., viz., 26,673 chests, Canton came next with 16 per cent., and then Amoy and Swatow.

I have the honour to be,

Sir.

Your most obedient Servant,

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

CIRCULAR.

DOWNING STREET,

13th June, 1889.

SIR,-I have the honour to transmit to you, for publication in the Colony under your Government, a copy of an Order of Her Majesty in Council, extending the provisions of the "Foreign Deserters Act, 1852," to the United States of Mexico.

The Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

KNUTSFORD.

AT THE COURT AT WINDSOR,

The 28th day of May, 1889.

PRESENT,

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

LORD PRESIDENT

EARL OF COVENTRY

LORD ASHBOURNE.

EREAS by the "Foreign Deserters Act, 1852," it is provided that whenever it is made to appear to Her Majesty that due facilities are or will be given for recovering and apprehending Seamen who desert from British Merchant Ships in the territories of any foreign power, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council stating that such facilities are or will be given, declare that Seamen, not being slaves, who desert from Merchant Ships belonging to a subject of such power, when within Her Majesty's dominions, shall be liable to be apprehended and carried on board their respective ships, and may limit the operation of such Order, and may render the operation thereof, subject to such conditions and qualifications, if any, as may be deemed expedient.

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that due facilities will be given for recovering and apprehending Seamen who desert from British Merchant Ships in territories belonging to the United States of Mexico under a Treaty between the Governments of Great Britain and the United States of Mexico, signed at the City of Mexico, on the 27th November, 1888:

NOW, THEREFORE, Her Majesty, by virtue of the power vested in Her by the said "Foreign Deserters Act, 1852," and by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is pleased to order and declare, and it is hereby ordered and declared, that from and after the publication hereof in the London Gazette, Seamen, not being slaves, and not being British subjects, who, within Her Majesty's dominions, desert from Merchant Ships belonging to Citizens of the United States of Mexico, shall be liable to be apprehended and carried on board their respective ships. Provided always, that if any such deserter has committed any crime in Her Majesty's dominions, he may be detained until he has been tried by a competent Court, and until his sentence, if any, has been fully carried into effect.

And the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and the Secretary of State for India in Council are to give the necessary directions herein accordingly.

SCHOOL FOR MODERN ORIENTAL STUDIES

ESTABLISHED BY

THE IMPERIAL INSTITUTE

OF THE UNITED KINGDOM, THE COLONIES AND INDIA,

IN UNION WITH

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE and KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON..

The commercial and official Classes in the United Kingdom, whose pursuits entail either tem- porary

residence in, or visits to, Oriental Countries and communion or correspondence with the natives of those Countries, have long experienced the want of facilities which might be afforded by a suffi- ciently comprehensive public Institution, where a practical and colloquial acquaintance with the more important Modern Oriental Languages might be acquired.

‧

In France, Germany, and Austria-Hungary, there exist Institutions of magnitude and importance, for affording instruction in the spoken and written Oriental dialects and in matters relating to the his- tory, commerce and political economy of the Countries in which those languages are spalon.

In France, the School of Living Oriental Languages, which was founded nearly 10 years ago, receives from the State the free use of a large building and a grant of over ￡6,000 perum, gra- tuitous instruction is there given in the chief Modern Oriental Languages, and a commercial section has recently been added to it by the Minister of Public Instruction.

　　The Imperial Oriental Academy of Vienna has long been of world-wide celebrity and has greatly contributed to the extension of commerce in Austria-Hungary, whilst in Berlin the Imperial German School of Living Oriental Languages, established a year ago upon a very important footing, has already received considerable development. This school is supported by, an annual subvention of ￡3,600, and the tuition there is entirely gratuitous.

　　Although the scope of action of the Imperial Institute, as defined by its Charter, does not embrace the exercise of actual educational functions, its Governing Body has considered that the creation and development of an organisation for providing, in the United Kingdom, the important aid to the Official and Commercial sections of the community which is furnished to Continental Nations by such esta- blishments as above named, might prove a work of considerable utility.

There have existed at University College and at King's College, since their foundation, Professor- ships of certain Oriental Languages; the Indian School of University College on the one hand, and the Oriental section of King's College on the other, have accomplished useful work in the preparation of candidates for the Indian Civil Service and other Government Departments, by affording facilities for the study of some of the Eastern Languages.

The Committee of the Institute, having met with a cordial response from the Councils of the two Colleges, to a proposal to consolidate the work of this nature now being performed there, and to bring it into harmonious working with a scheme for affording practical instruction in other important Oriental Languages, now desire to direct attention to the results of a careful consideration of the whole subject by a Special Committee, appointed by them for that purpose, which includes representatives of the Councils of University and King's Colleges, and of which the following are the members

SIR FREDERICK ABEL, C.B., D.C.L., D. Sc., F.R.S. (Chairman).

Col. SIR EDWARD BRADFORD, K.C.S.I.

SIR FRANCIS DILLON BELL, K.C.M.G., C.B.

Nominated by the Council of University College. Nominated by the Council of King's College.

MENT

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH AUGUST, 1889.

681

Arrangements have been completed by this Committee and approved of by the Governing Bodies of the Imperial Institute and of the two. Colleges, for the organisation of a School in London, designed both for giving instruction in Modern Oriental Languages and also for the pursuit of studies relating to the history, literature, commercial and physical geography, political economy and the natural and industrial resources of the Countries and Districts in which the various languages are used.

　　It is in contemplation to arrange for the delivery of Special Lectures or courses of Lectures from time to time, in connection with the School, by Experts or Specialists, in any of the foregoing subjects.

This School will be carried on under the immediate direction of the Committee above specified. The classes which the "School of Modern Oriental Studies" comprises, are divided under two

Heads.

DIVISION I. includes classes for all Oriental Languages especially required by Students qualifying for examinations for the Indian Civil Service, the instruction being of the same character as that provided for some time past at University College and at King's College.

These classes will, from the commencement of the AUTUMN TERM of 1889, be continued at University. College and will be conducted under regulations common to the other classes which combine with them to constitute the General School.

This Division includes instruction in Sanscrit, Bengali, Hindi, Hindustani, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Pali, Marathi, Gujarati, Arabic, and Persian.

DIVISION H, consists mainly of classes for Modern Oriental Languages other than the Indian

Languages.

The courses of tuition will be of a practical rather than of an academic character; they have particular reference to commercial and official requirements and to the facilitation of colloquial intercourse with natives of Oriental Countries.

is in contemplation, so soon as the number of Students warrants the expenditure, to secure the services of native readers and teachers of conversation in connection with the classes of this Division.

The Languages to be taught in Division II. comprise Colloquial Arabic, Modern Greek, Colloquial Persian; Russian, Turkish, Chinese, Burmese, Japanese, Malay, and Swaheli.

The classes under this Division will be conducted at King's College, where arrangements will also be made for the establishment of evening classes.

The names a

　　　of Instructors and the places where various classes will be held are given on the next page. There will be three terms, of about ten weeks, in each year, as follows:-

UTUMN TERM commencing about the beginning of October.

SPRING TERM commencing about the middle of January.

SUMMER TERM

commencing early in May.

The School will open with the Autumn Term of 1889.

A fee of THREE GUINEAS per term will have to be paid, in advance, by each Student for each Language taken up for instruction. This payment will entitle the Student to the use, within the Colleges, of text books, dictionaries, and works of reference required in connection with the particular Language that, and to the use of all the facilities which it is proposed to secure in the development of the School

Accommodation will be provided to enable Students to pursue their studies at hours when the. classes are not held.

The Libraries of both Colleges will be open to Students in any of the classes of the School, during the usual hours of study.

Intending Students should communicate with the ORGANISING SECRETARY at the Offices of the IMPERIAL INSTITUTE, 1, ADAM STREET, ADELPHI, LONDON, W.C., where the registration of Students will take place, and where all information regarding the School will be supplied.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 358.

The following Notice is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th August, 1889.

NOTICE.

FREDERICK Stewart, Colonial Secretary.

　　A special Sessions of Her Majesty's Justices of the Peace will be held in the Justices'. Room`at the Magistracy, at Eleven o'clock in the forenoon of Monday, the 26th day of August, A.D. 1889, for. the purpose of considering an application from ISRAEL WEINBERG for permission to remove his business as a licensed Publican, now carried on by him under the sign of The Rose, Shamrock and Thistle Hotel, at House No. 308, Queen's Road Central, to House No. 290, Queen's Road Central.

Magistracy, Hongkong, 14th August, 1889.

H. E. WODEHOUSE, Police Magistrate.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 359.

　　The following Finding of Marine Court of Inquiry into the loss of the British Steam-ship Altnacraig, Official No. 84,361 of Aberdeen, WILLIAM BUYERS, Master, is published for general information.

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th August, 1889.

FINDING.

　　We find that the British Steam ship Altnacraig, Official No. 84,361, of Aberdeen, of which, WILLIAM BUYERS, whose Certificate of Competency as Master is No. 95,437, was Master, left Iloilo on the 12th July, 1889, on a voyage to Delaware, with a full cargo of Sugar, 8 Passengers, and a full complement of Crew.

　　That all went well until the morning of the 14th, when at 7.25 she struck on a reef, sustaining so great damage that she shortly filled with water, and had to be abandoned in about Lat. 9° N. and Long. 118° 20 E.

　　We are of opinion that safe and proper courses were steered until the time of the Cross Bearings being taken at 5.30 A.M. on the 14th, and that the course subsequently set would have been a proper one, supposing the position given by these bearings to be correct; but we are strongly of opinion that, this position was not a reliable one; the bearings were taken in a "rough and ready" manner, without either azimuth ring, style-pin, or compass corrector; the difference between the bearings was only three points, and they were laid off on a chart of comparatively small scale, all of which combined was conducive towards error, and supposing the courses and distances to have been correctly kept,-and there is no evidence to lead the Court to a contrary opinion,-an error brought about by such combina- tion, of less the one point in each of the bearings, would place the ship on the reported Marabout Shoal at the time of striking. Against this, however, is the evidence that the Island of Koma Komayan was on the Port Bow of the vessel (steering S.W.), and this could not have been the case if the shoal is in the position marked on the chart, and the vessel struck on it.

　　The case is so circumstantial, and there being no written evidence, (the logs having been lost), that we are not prepared to say that the Master was guilty of not navigating his ship with sufficient and seamanlike care, and we do not therefore deal with his Certificate. We would recommend to him, however, more care for the future in dealing with cross bearings.

　　The rush of water into the ship after striking appears to have been so great that no effort to keep her afloat would have been of any avail.

The officers and crew appear to have conducted themselves properly, and proper discipline to have been maintained.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 15th day of August, 1889.

This Standard Work on the 'hinese 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 Suraames, will be published and sold separately.

FINDING.

The Courtving regard to the circumstances stated before it finds as follows:---

That ALESANDER COX, 1st Mate of the British Barque Mauna Loa, Official No. 72,640, of Maitland, Nova Scotia, whose Certificate of Competency as Master, is No. 2,527, issued at Halifax, Nova Scotia, has been guilty of gross misconduct, cruelty, and tyranny towards LEWIS ELLIS, A. B. of the said ship, and the Court directs that his Certificate be suspended for two years from this date.

The Court also directs that LEWIS ELLIS and ROBERT LINDE be discharged from the Mauna Loa, and be paid the balance of wages due up to the date of discharge.

The Couurther desires to express its opinion that so gross a case of tyranny could hardly have occurred without the knowledge and connivance of the Captain (ALEXANDER DOUGLAS, whose Certificate is No. 1,704 of Dominion of Canada), and think that it would be well for him to exercise more supervision over the way duty is carried out on board his ship.

FINDING.

The Court having regard to the circumstances before it finds :-

That the conduct of CLEMENT YOUNG, 1st Mate of the British Barque Omega, 63,881 of Shanghai, towards the Master, ARTHUR VERE BROWN, has been disrespectful, and that he left his duty without proper cause; but, as the evidence is conflicting and inadequate as to the assault, they are not prepared to deal with his Certificate, but they direct that he be discharged from the ship.

The Court is also of opinion that the Master was wanting in judgment in going to the Mate's cabin, and that thereby the disturbance was caused, and he is cautioned to be more careful in future.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 16th day of September, 1889.

COPY of TREASURY MINUTE, dated the 18th July 1889, and of the CONTRACT with the CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY, dated the 15th July 1889, for the Con- veyance of HER MAJESTY'S MAILS, TROOPS, and STORES between Halifax or Quebec and Hong Kong, and for the Hire and Purchase of VESSELS as CRUISERS or TRANSPORTS.

TREASURY MINUTE, dated 18th of July 1889.

MY LORDS have before them the contract, dated the 15th July 1889, which has been arranged with the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for the conveyance of Her Majesty's nails, troops, and stores between Halifax or Quebec and Hong Kong, and for the hire and purchase of vessels as cruisers or transports..

This contract is the result of a tender made by the company in response to the public advertise- ment of the Postmaster General in October 1885, inviting tenders for a mail service between Vancouver (Coal Harbour) and Hong Kong, as part of the Eastern mail service, for which the existing contracts were to terminate on 31st January 1888.

Two tenders were received for this portion of the service.

(1.) From Mr. A. Holt, Manager of the Ocean Steamship Company of Liverpool, for a fortnightly service between Vancouver and Hong Kong, at 11 knots for 108,000l. a year, with an abatement for a 104-knot speed, and an increase for a 12-knot speed.

(2.) From the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for a fortnightly service between Vancouver and Hong Kong in 460 hours, and between Hong Kong and Vancouver in 420 hours, exclusive of deten- tion at Yokohama on both voyages (implying an average rate of speed of 13 knots and 14.02 knots respectively), for the sum of 100,000 l. per annum for 10 years.

In consideration of this subsidy, the Company also offered to carry the mails between Halifax or Quebec and Vancouver by train free of cost; to carry troops on service, and stores, at absolute cost; and to carry a moderate amount of such stores free ween Vancouver and Hong Kong; larger quan- tities to be carried at the lowest rate for private goods.

They also offered to construct for the purposes of the contract, under Admiralty supervision, vessels of a high speed adapted for the conveyance of troops, and for conversion into armed cruisers.

　　　This tender of the Company offered, at a less cost, a considerably better service than that offered by Mr. Holt; but as the payment to the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company for the conveyance of the China Mails (which it was decided not to separate from the other Eastern Mail Services) would not be reduced by the diversion of part of the mails to another route, the tender of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company was not accepted.

The importance, however, of the establishment of an alternative route, both for the conveyance of mails, and for military and naval purposes, was continually pressed upon their Lordships, and in July 1887 the Canadian Pacific Railway Company submitted to the Government a modification of their previous tender...

　　　For a subsidy of 60,000 7. a year they offered to provide a monthly instead of a fortnightly service. They proposed to bring the port of Shanghai within the main route of the mail steamers; and they consented to include the land carriage within the time contract so as to meet the possibility of delay which might be caused by physical or climatic difficulties upon the railway. It was at the same time intimated to the Government that the Canadian Government would be prepared to contribute 15,000 7. a year towards the subsidy.

　　　Her Majesty's Government considered the scheme as a whole, offering as it does direct communi- cation entirely through British territory, and an alternative route to the East. desirable in the interests of the Empire, apart from postal considerations, and under these circumstances my Lords again took the question into consideration.

　　　Though the scheme is not justifiable upon postal reasons alone, it offers an alternative service which saves several days as compared with the Suez route, and it is, therefore, of considerable value from a postal point of view. It has the land transit lying wholly within British territory, and as a military route it is held by the military and naval authorities to be of the highest importance. The offer of the company to construct mail steamers which could be employed by the Admiralty as armed cruisers in case of need, also accords with the policy already adopted in the case of certain other large steamship companies.

776

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST SEPTEMBER, 1889.

　　The Canadian Parliament in the Session of 1889 passed an Act authorising the payment of an annual subsidy of 15,000 7. sterling for a line of monthly mail steamers, running between the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway in British Columbia and Hong Kong, and the payment of 25,000 l. sterling per annum if the service were made fortnightly.

　　Some difficulty was felt with regard to the Atlantic portion of the line, the control of which is entirely in the hands of the Dominion Government. Satisfactory assurances were, however, given by that Government that the necessary acceleration of the service should be secured, and after much negotiation the terms of a contract were agreed upon, of which the following are the principal heads:-

POSTAL CLAUSES.

(2.) The service between Halifax or Quebec (according to the season) and Hong Kong will be one continuous and complete service at intervals of four weeks.

Mwill be carried any intermediate place at which the trains or vessels may call.

(6) The vessels will call at Yokohama and Shanghai.

for

(7.) The periods of transit between Halifax or Quebec and Hong Kong will be within 684 hours from April to November, and within 732 hours from December to March, including stoppages.

(32.) In the event of purchase by the Admiralty of a vessel the Company will provide a substitute vessel for the Postal Service.

(33.) The subsidy will be 60,000 7. per annum, subject to penalties

(34) The penalty for failure to start a boat or train at the appointed me is fixed at 500 7., and at 100 l. for every 24 hours' delay.

(35.) The penalty for late arrival is fixed at 100 l. for every 12 hours.

↑

(38.) The contract runs for 10 years from the first departure from Hong Kong; it will be terminable on the 31st January 1898, if notice is given six months behand, and on payment of 20,000 7. by the Postmaster General. The first departure from Hong Kong is not to be fixed, without consent of the Company, earlier than 18 months from the date of the Agreement.

(39) The penalty for not commencing the service on the appointed day for 24 hours' delay, but it is not to exceed a total sum of 20,000 1.

fixed at 100

(44.) The Company may not underlet the Agreement, or any part it, without the consent of the Postmaster General.

ADMIRALTY Clauses.

Schedule 2.

(1.) The Admiralty may require the conveyance (with their families) eight officers, four non-commissioned and warrant officers, and ten seamen, marines, soldiers, or artificers by any one train or vessel, at first, second, and third class fares respectively with regulation baggage.

(9.) Troops, &c., on service will be conveyed "at cost."

(10.) Small packages will be conveyed for the Admiralty at the lowest rate of freight charged by the Company on private goods of a similar character; heavy good will be carried at rates specified in the contract.

Schedule 3.

(1.) The Company undertake to construct all vessels engaged for the vice with gun platforms and other fittings required by the Admiralty, and to sell them to the Admiralty if required.

(2.) The vessels are to run 17 knots an hour on the measured mile, and 16 knots an hour on sea trial.

(3.) The Admiralty may hire the vessels at 20 s. per ton per month the Admiralty providing and paying the crew.

(6.) The purchase price will be the value on the day of purchase, with per cent. for compulsory sale, and a further sum to be settled by agreement representing the cost of deliv- ery on the North Pacific station. The value on the day of purchase will be the cost price to the Company in the United Kingdom, less 6 per cent. per annum, from the day of com- pletion to the day of purchase.

(7.) A contract vessel sold to a British shipowner will remain subject to the terms of the agreement.

(8.) The Company undertake to employ, as far as possible, members of the Royal Naval Reserve.

(11.) The risk and expense of a vessel hired by the Admiralty will be borne by the Admiralty from the date on which the Admiralty provides the officers and crew.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST SEPTEMBER, 1889. 777

The net cost of the service to the Imperial Government, after deducting the contribution of 15,000 l. which the Dominion Government has agreed to pay, will amount to 45,000 l. a year. A sum of about 2,165 l. a year now paid to France and Italy for the conveyance of the China and Japan Mails by other routes, may perhaps be saved; on the other hand, the cost of conveying the mails across the Atlantic' may amount to 650 l. a year.

The Canadian Pacific Railway will present an alternative route for Australian and New Zealand Mails. At present those mails, when sent via America, travel via New York and San Francisco, and a specially high rate is paid for the United States land transit. Under the proposed Contract, it will be possible to send them via Quebec (or Halifax) and Vancouver on payment of the ordinary Postal Union rates of transit to the Canadian Post Office, and possibly the mail route via the Pacific to Australia will be diverted from San Francisco to Vancouver.

My Lords approve the Contract.

Let Copy of the Contract and of the above Minute be laid before Parliament.

He may also, if thought advisable, be sent for a certain time to China in order to acquire more intimate know- ledge of the language.

　　　5. As soon as he is declared by a Board of Examiners to have acquired a competent knowledge of Chinese, he will be temporarily employed in such Department as may require his services, at a salary of $1,800 per annum, without other allowances, and will be considered eligible for promotion in the Civil Service of Hong Kong on the occurrence of any vacancy which he may be deemed suitable to fill. The salaries of appointments in the Civil Service range from about $2,400 to about $5,040.

　　　6. The progress of the Cadet will be tested by half-yearly examinations, and he will be liable to be dismissed without further pay, if he does not pass his final examination within such time as may be fixed, or if at any time his progress or conduct shall be considered by the Governor and Executive Council to be so unsatisfactory as to render such a course desirable. The Governor and Council will decide, having regard to the ground of dismissal, whether the Cadet shall be sent home at the public expense, or shall be left to find his own way home, or shall be, in addition, called upon to repay the cost of his passage out.

　　　7. A bond must be entered into by the Cadet and two approved Sureties with the Crown Agents for the Colonies to secure the repayment of the cost of the passage out, in the event of his dismissal and of its being decided by the Governor and Executive Council that such repayment shall be enforced; and also in the event of the Cadet within four years from the date of his arrival in Hong Kong either quitting the Colony without leave or relinquishing his appointment (except on account of ill health), together with a further sum of ￡50 for each year to repay the Colony the cost of his teaching, up to his leaving.

　　　9. The present rule as to superannuation is that in the case of ill-health an officer may be allowed to retire on a pension after 10 full years' resident service, otherwise he must have attained the age of 55.

For 10 full year resident service fifteen-sixtieths of the average annual salary of the retiring officer's fixed appointments for the three years prior to retirement may be awarded, to which one- sixtieth may be added for each additional year's service; but no addition will be made in respect of any service beyond 35 years.

10. The dollar is at present reckoned by the Hong Kong Government at 4s. 2d. for the purpose of the payment in England of half-salary or pension.

Acting Colonial Secretary.

No. 23.

　　Minutes of the Proceedings of the SANITARY BOARD, at a Meeting held on Weday, the 25th day of September, 1889:--

PRESENT:

The Surveyor General, (The Honourable SAMUEL BROWN), President.

The Acting Captain Superintendent of Police, (Major-General ALEXANDER HERMAN ADAM GORDON), Vice-President." The Acting Registrar General, (The Honourable NORMAN GILBERT MITCHELL-INNES).

The Colonial Surgeon, (Dr. PHILIP BERNARD CHENERY AYRES).

The Honourable WONG SHING.

JOHN DAVID HUMPHREYS, Esquire.

NATHANIEL JOSEPH EDE, Esquire.

JOHN JOSEPH FRANCIS, Esquire, Q.C.

Dr. JAMES CantLIE.

Dr. Ho KAI.

The Board met pursuant to adjournment.

ABSENT:

The Minutes of a meeting held on the 11th September, 1889, were read and confirmed.

Mortality Returns.-The Returns for the weeks ended the 14th and 21st September, 1889, respectively, were laid on the table by the Secretary.

Final disposal of City. Refuse. The papers on this subject were laid on the table and the question discussed. The following Memorandum by the President was read by the Secretary,-

Reasons against Incinerator or Destructor:--

1.-No suitable site on Green Island, nor elsewhere, within reasonable distance. If a site were found on any remote part of the Island of Hongkong the cost of carrying the refuse there would be as great as of depositing it at sea by Hopper Barges.

Reasons against Mongkok scheme :-

1.That unless properly protected from the action of the sea the deposits would be removed by the waves, and strewn on the shores of the Bay. This would have bad results from a sanitary point of view, as there is a considerable population on both sides of the bay, and houses within a short distance of the proposed place of deposit.

2. That to efficiently protect the deposits from the action of the sea would involve an outlay greatly in excess of

the estimated cost.

3.-The main objection I have, as Surveyor-General, to the scheme is that, having regard to the future extension of Kowloon, it appears to me highly probable that the proposed site of deposit may be reclaimed and become profitable building land. I need hardly say that there are the strongest objections from a sanitary. point of view to the erection of dwelling houses over deposits of town rubbish.

The Acting Captain Superintendent of Police moved,-

That the report of the Committee be adopted by the Board and that the Secretary report to the Government

accordingly.

The Colonial Surgeon seconded.

The Acting Registrar General moved as an amendment.

That the Mongkok scheme be given a trial either at Mongkok or elsewhere before the proposal of the Committee

is adopted.

Amendment not seconded.

　　　"Ever since the sixteenth century a great deal has been written on the life and deeds of Colum bus, and no doubt difficulties exist in bringing anything new to bear on the subject. It is proposed, therefore, that the paper to be written should be of a comprehensive, synoptic, and concise character, without tedious and recondite details. Although there are numerous works respecting American travels and discoveries, there is not one that sufficiently demonstrates the marvellous efforts made by the nations of the Iberian Peninsula from the beginning of the fifteenth century for the acquirement and knowledge of hitherto unvisited portions of the planet in which we live.

"In this work there is a growing interest which, putting aside various mythical voyages, such as those of Doria and Vivaldi, and others, began at the epoch when Gil Eannes doubled Cape Bojador, discovered Gum &c., and concluded at the period when Elcano circumnavigated the globe.

　　　"The quinting point of all these voyages of discovery was when Columbus first hoisted the European flag the soil of the New World. a deed which led to the knowledge of the whole globe, to the advancement of the Christian religion, and to the general wealth of all nations.

　　　"No doubt the actors in these glorious achievements were inspired by diverse sentiments, some by the thirst for renown or wealth, others by the desire to eclipse the feats of the ancient Greeks and Romans. But the subject to be treated of is the vas significance of this discovery of Columbus, the centenary of which it is proposed to celebrate, without in the least detracting from the deeds of Barto- lome Dias, Con Pizarro, and others, bringing into due notice the civilizing power Portugal has brought to bond the crowning act of Spain when she for the first time braved the unknown Atlantic and rcumnavigated the globe.

"The programme for this paper, thus vaguely sketched, should contain, in a compendious intro- duction, accounts of travels and geographical advances made up to the time of the settlement of the Infante Don Ebrique of Portugal in Sagres, concluding with an ample treatise on the changes and benefits wrought on civilization by our united efforts as regards commerce, the policy of nations, the extension of learning, &c.

　　　"The vastness of the subject necessitates that the paper should be a highly finished work of art, not so much from the richness of diction, but rather from the general arrangement and neatness of style; for its nobility and beauty should spring from the simplicity of the phraseology, and from a just appreciation and careful judgment.

"Any unpublished paper, written ad hoc, in Spanish, Portuguese, English, German, French, or Italian, may enter into the Competition.

"The Tribunal to award the prize will be composed of two members of the Royal Academy of History, of one member of each of the Royal Spanish Academies, and of various others.

"The Diplomatic Representative of each Power will also form part of the Tribunal; he will for- ward, to take pin the Competition, any work of his countrymen, or present any person that Power may designate.

　　　"The Tribunal will select a President, and all decisions will be made, by means of voting, by all the members composing it.

"The works presented for competition should be neatly bound, written legibly on good paper, the name of the author not being mentioned, and marked with a motto; but the author should write his name and address in a folded sheet, on the exterior of which he should repeat the same motto and the first sentence of his book. Those folded sheets belonging to works that receive no prizes will be burnt unopened.

　　　"Although it is difficult to assign the exact dimensions of the works entered for competition, they should not exceed two volumes of 500 pages, of the same size and of the same type as those of the complete works of Cervantes, by Rivadeneyra, 1863-64. Still, if desired, another volume, containing documents, maps, &c., may be added.

　　　"In order that the Jury may have time to examine and vote, the competing works should be sent to the Secretary of the Royal Academy of History before the 1st January, 1892.

"One prize of 1,2001. (30,000 pesetas) will be given, together with a second one of 6007. (15,000 pesetas).

　　　"In addition to these rewards, each of these two authors will be given 500 copies of the edition of his book.

　　　"The Centenary Commission will decide how many copies of the edition of these works are to be published, and to whom they are to be presented.

The authors will preserve full rights over their works, and will be able to have them reprinted, translated, &c. But the Commission, nevertheless, retains the right of having either or both of the prize works, should they be in a foreign language, translated into Spanish.

"The above is published by the Commission for the information of the public and of the Govern- ments of the persons who may desire to take part in the Competition.

The Programme is signed: "Duke of VERAGUA, Vice-President.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 470.

　　It is hereby notified that the Queen's Exequatur, empowering FREDERICH SEIP, Esquire, to act as Consul for Sweden and Norway at. Hongkong, received Her Majesty's signature on the 28th day of September, 1889.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th November, 1889.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 471:

A. LISTER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

The following Finding of the Marine Court into the loss of the British Barque Hattie E. Tapley is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 16th November, 1889.

FINDING.

A. LISTER,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

　　We find that the British Barque Hattie E. Tapley, Official No. 83,663, left Sandakan, North Borneo, on the 2nd October on a voyage to Hongkong with a cargo of Billian timber and firewood.

　　That ROBERT MALCOM, whose Certificate of Competency as Master is 82,860 of Glasgow, was Acting Master in the absence of the legal Master, who was sick in Hospital.

　　That on the night of the 1st November, while working up towards Hongkong the ship struck on the N. E. extreme of Chek Wan in the Samoun Group where she was eventually abandoned. Having heard and carefully considered the evidence before the Court, we are of opinion,

　　That the ship was not properly manned, seeing that there was no Certificated Officer on board besides the Acting Master, and

That she was not supplied with adequate sailing directions.

We are further of opinion that the loss of the ship was brought about through a grave error of judgment on the part of the Acting Master in attempting to pass to Windward of the Samoun Group with a light wind and a ship which he knew to be a poor sailer, and that having made up his mind to adopt this course in not having put all possible sail on the ship and above all in not having remained on deck himself.

　　　appears that when the casualty was inevitable, he did all in his power to avert it, and taking all the circumstances into consideration, we do not consider it necessary to deal with his Certificate which is therefore returned to him.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 12th day of November, 1889.

27. In a suit or action for infringement of a registered trade mark the Court or a Judge may certify that the right to the exclusive use of the trade mark came into question and if the Court or Judge so certifies, then in any subsequent suit or action for infringement the Plaintiff in such suit or action, on obtaining a final order or judgment in his favour, shall have his full costs charges and expenses as between solicitor and client, unless the Court or Judge trying the subsequent suit or action certifies to the contrary.

11. (1.) Where, upon information or complaint laid for an offence against this Ordinance, a Magistrate has issued either a summons requiring the defendant charged by such information or complaint to appear to answer to the same, or has issued a warrant for the arrest of such defendant, and either the said Magistrate on 01 after issuing the summons or warrant, or any other Ma- gistrate is satisfied by information on oath that there is reasonable cause to suspect that any goods or things by means of or in relation to which such offence has been com- mitted are in any house or premises of the defendant, or otherwise in his possession or under his control in any place, such Magistrate may issue a warrant under his hand by virtue of which it shall be lawful for any constable named or referred to in the warrant, to enter such houses, premises, or place at any reasonable time by day, and to search there- for and seize and take away those goods or things; and any goods or things seized under any such warrant shall be brought before a Magistrate for the purpose of its being determined whether the same are or are not liable to for- feiture under this Ordinance.

(3.) Any goods or things forfeited under this section, or under any other provision of this Ordinance, may be des- troyed or otherwise disposed of, in such manner as the Magis- trate by which the same are forfeited may direct, and the Magistrate may; out of any proceeds which may be realised by the disposition of such goods (all trade marks and trade descriptions being first obliterated), award to any innocent party any loss he may have innocently sustained in dealing with such goods.

13. No prosecution for an offence against this Ordinance shall be commenced after the expiration of three years next after the commission of the offence, or one year next after the first discovery thereof by the prosecutor, whichever expiration first happens.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD NOVEMBER, 1889. 915

ported or brought into the Colony contrary to

the prohibition herein contained such goods shall be forfeited and may be destroyed or other- wise disposed of as the Superintendent of Im- ports and Exports may direct.

(2.) Before detaining any such goods, or taking any further proceedings with a view to the forfeiture thereof under this Ordinance the Superintendent of Imports and Exports may require the regula- tions under this section, whether as to infor- mation, security, conditions, or other matters, to be complied with, and may satisfy himself in accordance with those regulations that the goods are such as are prohibited by this section to be imported.

(3.) The Governor in Council may from time to time make, revoke, aud vary regulations, either general or special, respecting the detention and forfeiture of goods the importation of which is prohibited by this section, and the conditions, if any, to be fulfilled before such detention and forfeiture, and may by such regulations deter- mine the information, notices, and security to be given, and the evidence requisite for any of the purposes of this section, and the mode of verification of such evidence.

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 LanguageofChina, 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.

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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 525.

The following finding of a Marine Court of Enquiry is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 21st December, 1889.

FINDING.

A. LISTER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

We find that the British ship Nylghau, Official No. 80,617 of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, of which WATSON BAKER BUTLER, whose Certificate of Competency as Master is 1,990 of Canada, was Master, left Singapore on the 1st November, 1889, bound for Hongkong with a crew of 17 all told, and a full cargo of timber.

That having worked up the Luzon Coast until the 24th November in Lat, 17.43 N. and Long. 119.58 E. having got the N.E. monsoon, the ship was headed across the China Sea for Hongkong, but that on the evening of the 25th at about 8.10 she struck on the Pratas Shoal and was there abandoned.

It appears from the evidence of the Master, who is the only competent witness before the Court on the subject, that at noon on the 25th November, the ship was in a position in Lat. 20° 16' N. and Long. 118° 0′ E. That at 4 P.M. on that day, she was further allowed to have gone 18 miles N.W. In this position, the Master seeing that the wind was falling, and the ship "breaking off," determined to pass to the southward of the Pratas Shoal, and with that intention set the course due West.

This assumed position at 4 P.M. was 49 miles E. by S. 4 S. from the Eastern Extreme of the Pratas Shoal and seeing that the ship struck somewhere on the Eastern Edge of the Shoal at about 8.10 P.M., this would make the distance of 49 miles run in rather more than 4 hours which seeing the state of the wind and weather, the Court consider, is extremely improbable; and they are inclined to the belief that either the Master's observations placed the ship too far to the S.E. or that the ship ex- perienced a W.N.W. set during the afternoon of 25th. A set which the Admiralty Chart 1661? states was experienced by H.M.S. Encounter in February, 1883, (the period of the N.E. monsoon).

　　It appears that the compasses had not been adjusted for more than one year and though it is probable that this did not contribute to the casualty, we are of opinion that therein the Master did not use due caution.

The ship does not appear to have been prematurely abandoned and after the casualty all steps were taken that the circumstances permitted for the safety of the crew.

The entire crew left the ship in two boats, one of these has not been heard of since the morning of the 27th when she was sighted apparently "all well" by the Master in the other boat. Unsuccessful search has been made for her by H.M.S. Cockchafer. She was in charge of the Mate John Briggs and contained 6 seamen in addition, and appears to have left the ship properly found..

We are of opinion that the Master would have displayed sounder judgment, if he had carried out the recommendations given on the chart and in the sailing directions to pass to the Southward of the Pratas Shoal. But we consider this omission to have been an error in judgment and not a wrongful act or default, and we do not deal with his certificate which is therefore now returned to him.

Given under our hands at Hongkong this 16th day of December, 1889.
