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 ofChina, 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.

MAGNETIC SHOAL.

NORTH-WEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA.

The Commander of Her Majesty's surveying vessel "Penguin" reports as follows:-

　　　"When leaving Cossack, on 6th instant, "Penguin" passed over a Magnetic Shoal about one mile in diameter. On examination it was found that the focus or centre of Magnetic attraction was in latitude 20 degrees 32 minutes 35 seconds S., longitude 117 degrees 13 minutes 2 seconds E., directly in the track of vessels visiting Cossack.

　　　"From this focus, which is not more than fifty feet in diameter, the summit of Bezout Island bears S. 79 degrees 25 minutes W. distant 2·14 miles, and Jarman Island Lighthouse S. 2 degrees 40 minutes E. distant 6.52 miles.

　　　"All compasses were deflected 55 degrees to the right and 23 degrees to the left when passing over the focus. The angle subtended by the extreme points of Bezout Island was 16 degrees. Sounding 8 fathoms; sand bottom. It seems probable that this area of Magnetic attraction may be one of many around the coast of Australia."

4. An abatement at the rate of four per cent shall be made by the Colonial Treasurer or the Crown Agents as the case may be on each payment of the salary or pension of every public officer who shall enter the Civil Service of the Colony after the 31st December, 1890, or whose yearly salary, having previously been less than two hundred and forty dollars shall, after such date, be increased to two hundred and forty dollars or more, and of the salaries of the persons at present holding the offices mentioned in schedule A. hereto and of their successors in the said offices. All other payments and contributions to the fund shall be made to the Colonial Treasurer and placed to the credit of the fund. Provided always that on good and sufficient cause shown the Governor in Council may exempt from such abatement any officer mentioned in the said schedule.

5. The directors may admit any public officer who shall have been appointed before the coming into force of this Ordinance to contribute towards the fund, provided that such public officer shall pay forthwith, or by such instal- ments as the directors shall determine, a sum equal to all the abatements which would have been made from his salary and all the compound interest which would have accrued on such abatements if he had commenced to con- tribute to such fund on the date when this Ordinance first came into force. And every public officer so admitted to contribute to the fund shall be entitled to the same privileges and shall be subject to the same conditions in respect of the fund as are all other contributors.

Management of the Fund.

6. The Governor in Council shall appoint annually or from time to time as may be necessary, five directors of the fund, who shall be eligible for re-appointment, and whose duty it shall be to superintend the management and administration of such fund, and to enforce the laws and regulations relating thereto. Any three of such direc- tors shall form a quorum.

7. The directors shall, on or before the thirty-first day of January in each year, prepare a detailed state- ment and account of the fund for the year ending on the thirty first day of December preceding, with such report on the state and prospects of such fund as the directors may deem necessary. Such statement and report shall be sub- mitted to the Governor and laid before the Legislative Council, and shall be published in the Gazette. The outgoing directors shall continue to hold office until new directors are appointed.

8. The directors may make regulations not inconsistent with this Ordinance for the better carrying out of the same, and such regulations shall be subject to the approval of the Governor in Council, and shall be published in the Gazette.

9. All acts and decisions of the directors under this Ordi- nance may be revised and modified by the Governor in Council, whose decision shall be final in all questions which may arise under this Ordinance.

10. All payments into and out of the fund shall be made in dollars current in the Colony, and no pension shall be either increased or abated on the ground that the pensioner entitled to it is residing in a country where dollars are not current. When a contributor is drawing pay or pension in sterling, such pay or pension shall be abated four per cent in sterling, and the fund shall be credited with the equivalent of such abatement at the rate of exchange of the day.

11. A sum not exceeding five per cent shall be deducted from the total annual contributions to the fund to defray all expenses connected with its administration.

12. On the thirty first day of December of the tenth year after the coming into force of this Ordinance, or so soon after as possible, and quinquennially thereafter, an actuary or actuaries to be appointed by the Governor in Council shall investigate the fund, and report fully as to its working, its results, its financial position, and whether any, and if so, what re-adjustment of pensions or contributions is necessary.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH JANUARY, 1891.

Investment of the Fund. Conditions of Contribution.

13. Al moneys belonging to the fund shall be placed on deposit in the Colonial Treasury or in such Bank as may be fixed upon by the Directors, and shall bear interest at the yearly rate of six per cent without deduction. Such interest shall be calculated on the daily balances standing in the hands of the Colonial Treasurer to the credit of such fund, and the amount of interest so due shall be computed half-yearly, and carried to the credit of such fund not later than the tenth day of January and the tenth day of July in each year. Each contributor shall be entitled to be credited in the Colonial Treasurer's books with com- pound interest on his contributions at the rate of six per cent, computed half-yearly as aforesaid.

14. The abatement of four per cent from the salary of any contributor shall continue until such contributor shall

(1.) Have served for thirty five successive years, or (2.) Have completed the sixty-fifth year of his age, or (3.) Cease to be a public-officer,

whichever may first happen. Provided that no contributor shall be compelled to pay any contributions towards the fund beyond such as will entitle his widow or orphans to the maximum yearly pension provided for by section 38.

15. When the salary of any contributor shall be reduced, either by his retirement on pension or otherwise, the monthly contribution to be made by him during his remaining period for contribution as laid down in the preceding section, shall be four per cent. of the actual salary or pension to which he is entitled, and the pension payable on his death to his widow or orphans shall be reduced by the same amount as would have been added to it had such contributor's salary been increased in the same ratio as that in which it has been diminished. But such contributor may, should he so desire, continue his previous rate of contribution for the remainder of his said period on his giving notice in writing to the directors of his intention to do so, in which case his widow or orphans shall be granted the full pension to which such rate of contribution entitles them.

16. A contributor who, for any reason except transfer to other employment under the Crown, or dismissal for misconduct, shall retire from the service without being entitled to pension, or whose office shall be abolished with- out his being entitled to a pension, shall cease to have any interest in the fund, and neither the widow nor orphan of such contributor shall have any claim upon such fund. such contributor shall be entitled to repayment from the fund of one half of his total contributions thereto without interest, provided such. claim be lodged in the hands of the Colonial Treasurer in writing within six mouths from the retirement of such contributor from the service of the Colony.

17. When any contributor, being a bachelor, or a widower Withdrawal without children born in wedlock, shall retire unmarried from the service on pension, one half his total contributions to the fund shall be repaid to him without interest, provided his claim is lodged in manner prescribed by the preceding section.

18. When any contributor shall be transferred from the service of the Colony to other employment under the Crown, he shall, from the date of such transfer, cease to contribute to the fund, but his widow or children, as the case may be, shall be entitled, on the death of such contributor, to a pension computed on the basis of the interest acquired by such contributor in the fund at the date of his transfer, in accordance with the tables hereinafter referred to. And if, when such contributor retires from the service of the Crown on pension, he is a bachelor or a widower without children born in wedlock, he may claim repayment from the fund of half of his total contributions, without interest, provided his claim is lodged in the manner prescribed by section 16.

19. No contributor who has been dismissed from the public service for misconduct nor his wife or children shall have any claim upon the fund on account of the contribu- tions of such contributor thereto.

(3.) Any child of such marriage.

(4.) Any orphan, whose mother is in receipt of a

pension.

27. The pensions granted to orphans shall cease in the case of males at eighteen years of age, and in the case of females at twenty-one years of age, or on marriage.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH JANUARY, 1891.

28. The pension to which a widow or any orphan is entitled shall be computed in accordance with the tables contained in the Schedule B to this Ordinance. Such tables shall be subject to revision from time to time as the Governor in Council may deem necessary, and such revised tables shall be published in the Gazette.

29. When orphans have no living mother or step-mother entitled to a pension and their ages entitle them to a pension, such pension shall be computed as follows;-

(1.) If there are three orphans or less entitled to pension, each orphan shall receive one-fourth of the pension to which the wife of the deceased contributor would have been entitled if she had survived him, or which she was receiving at the time of her death.

(2.) If there are more than three such orphans so entitled to pension, then the pension to which such widow would have been entitled or was re- ceiving shall be divided equally among them.

30. The directors may make such arrangements as they shall think fit for paying any pension to orphans or to a widow with orphan children or step-children into the hands of trustees, guardians, school-masters, or other suitable per- sons, either wholly or in part. The directors may withold payment of any such pension until such arrangements are made to their satisfaction. The receipts of such trustees, guardians, school-masters, or other suitable persons shall be a sufficient discharge to the directors for the amounts which such receipts represent.

31. Any widow who marries again shall forfeit all claim to pension arising from her previous marriage with a con- tributor. If there are children by such previous marriage with a contributor, such children shall, if eligible for pen- sions, be treated as orphans within the meaning of section

29.

32. A wife against whom any contributor has obtained a divorce in a British Court of Justice shall, for the pur- poses of this Ordinance, be considered as dead, but where a contributor has been separated from his wife, judicially, or by mutual consent, or otherwise, the directors may, having regard to the grounds of the separation, and the subsequent conduct of both parties, grant a pension either to the widow or to the orphans if any, as they shall think most desirable.

33. The widow of any contributor by a second or any other subsequent marriage shall be entitled to the same pension as would have been paid to the first wife if she had survived her husband, provided that such second or sub- sequent wife was not younger at the date of her marriage with the contributor than the first wife would have been at such date if she had lived. If she is younger, her pension shall be reduced in accordance with the tables hereibefore mentioned.

34. When any contributor dies leaving a widow and also children by a previous marriage whose ages entitle them to pensious, the respective pensions of such widow and of such orphans shall be computed as follows;-

(1.) If there are three or more such children, they shall be entitled to one-half the pension to which their mother would have been entitled had she survived her husband, to be divided equally amongst them.

(2.) If two such children, one-third of such mother's

pension shall be divided between them.

(3.) If only one such child, he shall be entitled to

one-fourth of such mother's pension.

the

(4.) In any of the three above-mentioned cases,

said widow shall be entitled to one-half of the pension which she would have received under section 33 had there been no such orphans.

(5.) If there are no such orphans, or if they cease to be entitled to pensions, the pension of such widow will be computed under section 33.

General Rules.

35. Widows or orphans entitled to pensions and residing out of the Colony must produce proof, to the satisfaction of the directors, of their being alive and entitled thereto, before their pensions are paid.

36. No pension shall be assignable or transferable, nor shall such pension be attached, arrested or levied upon for or in respect of any debt or claim due by its recipient.

37. Every pension shall commence from the day of the death of the contributor, or mother, or step-mother whose death causes such pension to become payable (upon proof of such death to the satisfaction of the directors) and shall accrue daily, and shall be paid monthly by the Colonial Treasurer clear of any deduction, until such pension shall cease to be payable. The Colonial Treasurer may demand a receipt for each payment in such form as the directors may determine, and such receipts shall be exempt from stamp duty.

38. No pension to the family of any one contributor, however such pension may be allotted, shall exceed a gross yearly total of fifteen hundred dollars.

39. No pension shall be either increased or abated on the ground that the person entitled to receive such pension resides in a climate more or less healthy than that of Hong- kong.

40. All pensions, whether accruing or to accrue, shall be from time to time subject to re-adjustment accord- ing to the financial condition of the fund as determined according to the provisions of section 12. Such re-adjust- ment shall be made by the directors and approved by the Governor in Council. Notice thereof shall forthwith be sent to all contributors and pensioners.

41. This Ordinance shall come into operation on the 1st day of January, 1891, provided always that the abatement on the salaries of the officers mentioned in Schedule A shall remain in abeyance until the approval by the Secretary of State of an increase to their salaries in 1890 of at least 14 per cent. shall have been signified.

Table B. The tabular results are shown (in eleven divisions) for every age of the husband. from 19 to 64, and for every fifth

age of the wife, commencing at age 15 and down to 65. Ages below or beyond should be taken at the limit shown. The results corresponding to the inter- mediate ages of the wives should be obtained by in- terpolation, in the manner illustrated above for Table A.

In using this Table, care should be taken to enter the proper division corresponding with the age at which the 35 years of contribution will cease.

Table C.--The tabular results are shown for the same range of ages as in Table A. Ages below or beyond should be taken at the limit shown. The results for the intermediate ages of the wives should be obtained by interpolation, in the manner illustrated above for Table A; but it should be carefully noted that the correction, in the case of this Table, is subtractive, and not additive, ast in Table A.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE METHODS OF ASSESSING THE PENSIONS.

1. The following is the mode of assessing the Pensions of Widows whose husbands were members as above, and in the Public Service of Hongkong:

First Wife's Pension.

A.-IN CONSIDERATION OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS PAID BY SUCH

MEMBER DURING BACHELORHOOD.

RULE: Accumulate the contributions at 6

　per cent. compound interest, and multiply the amount by the quantity found in Table A corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and wife at the time of marriage.

The product will give the annual pension to which the wife will be entitled on her husband's death, on account of his past contributions.

EXAMPLE: Thus, if the total contributions of such member during bachelorhood, when accumulated at the rate of 6 per cent. interest, amount to $300, and the ages of himself and wife at the time of marriage are 30 and 20 respectively, then $300 x 2927 = $87.8 wife's pension.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH JANUARY, 1891.

B.-IN CONSIDERATION OF THE FUTURE ANNUAL CONTRIBU-

TIONS TO BE PAYABLE FROM THE DATE OF MARRIAGE.

(a) In respect of the official income receivable at the time of

marriage.

RULE: Multiply the annual contribution by the quantity found in Table B corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and wife at the time of marriage.

The product will give the annual pension to which the wife will be entitled on her husband's death on account of his contributions in respect of the official income receivable at the time of marriage.

EXAMPLE: Thus, if such last referred-to member's official income at the time of marriage be $1,000 a year, and the annual contribution be $40 (to cease at age 55), and the ages of himself and wife at the time of marriage be 30 and 20 respectively, then

www

$40 × 3·1888 = $127.6 wife's pension. (b) In respect of increments made to the official income after

marriage.

RULE: Multiply the additional contribution by the quantity found in Table B corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and wife at the date of the increment of official income.

The product will give the additional annual pension to which the wife will be entitled on her husband's death in respect of his additional contributions on account of an increase of his official income.

EXAMPLE: Thus, if such last referred-to member's official income be increased by $200 a-year, and the then ages of himself and wife are respectively 35 and 25, then the further pension will be:

$8 × 2·781 = $22.25 wife's further pension.

C.-ASSESSMENT OF THE AMOUNT OF THE PENSION DURING THE TIME SUCH MEMBER IS A WIDOWER. When such mem- ber becomes a widower, a pension is to be supposed to attach for the benefit of a wife of exactly the same age as the late wife would have been, such pension either remain- ing unchanged in amount from that to which the late wife was entitled, or becoming subsequently augmented or re- duced in the manner provided for by the Rules, according as such member's contributions increase or decrease from that time through variations in his official income.

The amount so determined is to form the basis for esti- mating the commencing pension to which a second wife becomes entitled at the time of her marriage.

EXAMPLE: Thus, if such last referred-to member becomes a widower, a pension of (87-8+ 127.6 + 22-25) $287.65 is to be supposed to attach for the benefit of a wife of exactly the same age as the late wife would have been, and the pension will continue at that amount until such member's official income (and his consequent contribution) is either increased or decreased. If a further increment of $200 official income be made when such member is aged 40, and his late wife would have been aged 30, then the additional amount of supposed pension would be found by Rule 9 B (6) thus :

$8×2·295=$18.4-wife's supposed further pension.

Should such member re-marry, the amount to be used as a basis for estimating the commencing pension to which the second wife would be entitled would be either:

$237-65, if no augmentation had been made to the official income;

$256-05, if an augmentation of $200 had been made to the official income at age 40, as above.

NOTE: If there have been more than one wife, care must be taken

to use always the age of the last wife.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH JANUARY, 1891.

Second Wife's Pension.

2. A.-PENSION TO WHICH A SECOND WIFE (OF SUCH MEMBER

AS ABOVE) BECOMES ENTITLED ON MARRIAGE.

(a) When the second wife at the time of marriage is of the same

age as, or older than, the first wife would have been, if then alive.

RULE: The pension is to commence at the amount as determined by article 9 hereof, and to remain stationary at that amount, unless and until such member's official income be increased or decreased.

(b) When the second wife at the time of marriage is younger than

the late wife would have been, if then alive.

RULE: Take the pension as determined by article 9 hereof, and multiply it by the quantity found in Table C corres- ponding to the respective ages of the husband and that of his late wife at the time of the husband's second marriage; multiply the last product by the quantity found in Table A corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and his second wife at the time of their marriage. The final product will give the commencing annual pension to which the second wife will be entitled on her husband's death, in respect of his official income at the time of their marriage; and this pension is to remain stationary at that amount, unless and until such member's official income be increased or decreased.

EXAMPLE: Thus, if at the date of re-marriage the age such member's first wife would have beer is 35, his own age is 45, and that of the second ife is 30, then, if the pension, to which the first wife if alive would have been entitled to, as found by article 9 hereof, be $237-65,

$237-65 × 3777 × 2453

$220 18 commencing pension.

B.-INCREMENTS ON THE LAST-FOUND PENSIONS.

second wife's

The second wives' pensions are to be augmented as often as their. husbands have an increase of official income. Such augmen- tations to be calculated according to the principles and in the manner described in article 9 B (6) hereof. always taking the ages of the husband and wife as they stand at the date of the increase of official income.

Third and subsequent Wives' Pensions.

3. The rules laid down in articles 9 and 10 will apply, mu?atis mutandis, to the case of pensions to a third, or any subsequently taken wife of a member as above. It should be borne in mind that the

pen- sion to the last wife, and the age she would have been at the date of the further marriage, are always to be taken as the basis for estimating the commencing pension to which the new wife is entitled.

Abatement of Widows' Pensions.

4. When the official income of a member (as above) becomes reduced, either by abatement of the ordinary emoluments or by the grant of a permanent superannuation allowance, the widow's pension must be diminished by just the amount it would have been increased had the official income been raised instead of lowered.

For instance, if such member's official income becorze reduced by $250 per annum, the existing pension to which, by the forgoing Rules, the wife was entitled should be diminished by the amount of pension corresponding to a contribution of $10 per annum.

There would be no objection, in principle, to allowing such member to continue his old rate of contribution for the remainder of the 35 years, should he desire to do so, and so prevent a diminution of the pension; but, in that case, sufficient independent medical evidence should be produced that the state of his health is such that no financial

damage to the Fund may be reasonably entertained. It is probable that a liberal construction of such a Rule would not operate adversely to the general interests, provided that some means be adopted of check- ing this election in the case of the higher officials, where the pensions would generally be above the average.

Pensions to Widows and Children of such members as may have

joined the Public Services of other Colonies.

5. The widow's pension should be based upon the estimated` acquired interest that such transferred member takes in the then exist- ing Fund at the date of his removal. This interest may, until the financial position of the Fund has been determined by a Valuation be assessed as shown below. Upon the occasion of the Valuation then next ensuing, and upon all future Valuations, the interest as above estimated, and others emerging between the periods of Valuation, should be determined or adjusted as the circumstances disclosed by such investigations may require, and according to the advice of the Actuary or Actuaries reporting.

6. The following Rules are applicable only up to the time of the first Valuation and they should be re-settled on the occasion of each Valuation by the Actuary, or Actuaries, then reporting:-

IF SUCH MEMBER BE A BACHELOR AT THE TIME OF HIS TRANSFER.

First Wife: His interest in the Fund should be taken as then, and according to Rule 9 A; and this amount should be further accumulated at 6 per cent. compound interest from the time of such transfer until his first marriage: and the pension that the widow thence arising is entitled to should be computed by the same Rule-regard being had to the cessation of further contributions, and to the accretion only of 6

　　　　　　　　　　　　per cent. compound interest upon the estimated assessed interest at the time of transfer.

EXAMPLE: Thus, if thatal contributions of such member during bachelor..ood and up to the time of transfer amount at interest to $200, and if this sum, when further accumulated at 6 per cent. compound interest, amount to $300 by the time of his first marriage, and if the ages of himself and wife at marriage are 30 and 20 respectively, then $300 × -2927 $87-8 wife's pension.

Second Wife: Take the pension as above determined, and multiply it by the quantity found in Table C corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and that of his late wife at the time of the husband's second marriage; multiply this last product by the quantity found in Table A corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and his second wife at the time of their marriage (vide art. 1 C.)

EXAMPLE: Thus, if at the date of re-marriage the age of such husband's first wife would have been 35, his own age is 45, and that of his second wife is 30, then, if the pension to which the first wife if alive would have been entitled to, as found above, be $87.8, then

$87.8 x 3777 × 2453 $81.3 second wife's pension.

Third, &c., Wife: For a third, or subsequently taken wife, take the pension for the last existing wife and proceed to adjust it in the manner shown for the case of the second wife.

7. IF SUCH MEMBER BE MARRIED, OR A WIDower, at the

TIME OF HIS TRANSFER.

The widow's pension attaching to his then wife, or his sup- posed wife (if he be a widower) should be abated by just the amount that it would be increased corresponding to the amount of contributions that such member will cease to pay upon transfer from the Public Service of the Colony, and according to the principles laid down in art. 4. Again, this abated pension should be adjusted upon re-marriage, in the manner shown in art. 6, corresponding to the then ages of the husband and wife.

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 ofChina, 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 attention of mariners is directed to the following telegraphic despatch received from H.M.S. (surveying vessel) Penguin, viz.:-

"When leaving Cossack on November 6th, Penguin passed over a magnetic shoal about one mile in diameter. On "examination it was found that the focus or centre of magnetic attraction was in Lat. 20° 32′ 35′′ S., Long. 117° 13′ 2′′ E., directly in the track of vessels visiting Cossack. From this focus, which is not more than 50 feet in diameter, the summit "of Bezout Island, S. 79° 25′ W., distant 2·14 miles; and Tarmin Island Lighthouse, S. 2° 40′ E., distant 6·52 miles.

"All compasses were deflected 55° to the right and 23° to the left when passing over the focus. "The angle subtended by the extreme points of Bezout Island was 16°, sounding eight fathoms, sand bottom. probable that this area of magnetic attraction may be one of many around the coast of Australia."

　　　Information with reference to the above, or any other areas of magnetic attraction, which have been experienced by shipmasters, addressed to the Secretary, Marine Board, Port Adelaide, will receive due attention.

FIFTY-FIRST

TO THE

ORDINARY HALF-YEARLY GENERAL MEETING

SHAREHOLDERS

AT THE CITY HALL, HONGKONG, On Saturday, the 28th February, 1891,

AT NOON.

To the Proprietors of the

HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.

GENTLEMEN,

The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, aud Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 31st December, 1890.

The net profits for that period, including $148,302.94 balance brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and due, and making provision for bad and doubtful accounts, amount to $1,715,743.39, of which after taking out remu- neration to Directors, there remains for appro- priation $1,705,743.39.

From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of One Pound and Ten Shillings per Share, on the Old Shares, and Eleven Shillings and Three Pence per Share on the New Shares, which at 4/6 will absorb $450,000, and a Bonus of One Pound and Ten Shillings per Share on the Old Shares, and Eleven Shillings and Three Pence per Share on the New Shares, which will absorb $450,000.

The difference in Exchange between 4/6, the rate at which the Dividend and Bonus are de- clared, and 3/5, the rate of the day, amounts to $285,365.85.

They recommend transferring $300,000 to the Credit of Reserve Fund, which, with instal- ments of Premium on New Shares, $1,706,596.31, will then stand at $6,806,596.31.

They also recommend writing off Bank Premises Account the sum of $100,000.

The Balance $120,377.54 to be carried to New Profit and Loss Account.

DIRECTORS.

If the grain stored be excessive in quantity, there will be difficulty in looking after it, and fraudulent appropriations will easily begin. A general estimate should be made of the quantity of grain, more or less, that will be required in very bad years by the poor, poorer and poorest classes in a to (都), and, this quantity once in store, stock should be taken every year, and the said quantity being reserved, and issues from it and repayments to it, made as usual, the surplus should be sold, and the proceeds applied to the construction of public schools or public grave-yards in the to (), or to the building of bridges and the repair of roads; the people being left free to estimate the cost of, and employ the money in, any proper undertaking of the kind. Any balance should be put out at interest for application to public purposes in the following year, but it must not be given to Buddhist or Tauist establishments. When a dearth occurs, the grain in store will be issued to the poor, poorer, and poorest, of the population, according to the number of persons in families, as entered on the door tickets or in the registers, either as a loan in relief of a community in general, or as a charitable donation in such proportions as may be judged advisable. This will leave but little in store; the following year, therefore, contributions will be made as before at the rate of so much per acre, and the corn will be stored, issued and replaced as the regulations prescribe.

After passing a second gate we found more variety. There were plantations which had been skilfully made. English trees were mixed with the indigenous, eucalypti still preponderating however, some towering into the sky, some. as before, fantastically gnarled; here and there a dead one stretching up its gaunt arms as perches for the hawks and crows. High hills stood out all round us, covered with forest. The drive was broad, level, and excellently kept. The plantation gradually became thicker. A third gate and we were between high trimmed hedges of evergreen, catching a sight at intervals of a sheet of water overhung with weeping willows; a moment more, and we were at the door of what might have been an ancient Scotch manor house, solidly built of rough-hewn granite, the walls overrun with ivy, climbing roses, and other multitudinous creepers, which formed a border to the diamond-paned, old-fashioned windows.

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

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

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

4. Subject to the exceptions and provisions hereinafter contained, a pension will be granted to any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who joined previous to the 13th September, 1884, (excepting those who have joined under or have accepted an agreement to serve fifteen years' before becoming entitled to a pension) who has served ten years, at the rate of 15/60ths of the Annual pay of his rank, provided he shall have been in receipt of the same for the last three years; otherwise, the Pension shall be calculated upon the average amount of pay received by such person during the three years next preceding the commencement of such Pension. Further, for every full and complete year's service after ten years, an addition to the Annual Pension of 1/60th part of the average annual pay of his rank shall be made for each additional year of such service.

5. Extra pay for acting appointments will in no case be taken into consideration in determining the amounts of Pension or Gratuity.

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

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

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

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

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

136

THE HONGkong GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH FEBRUARY, 1891.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(a.) Whether the capacity of the sufferer to contribute towards his own support is slightly

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

(b.) Whether such incapacity is likely to be

permanent.

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

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

and emoluments;

(b.) When impaired not exceeding 12/60ths;

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

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

In his Despatch No. 108 of the 18th of June, 1890, the Secretary of State proposed that the Governor's salary should be voted on the Estimates at the rate of $32,000 inclusive of entertainment allowance, although when on half pay or vacation leave the Governor will receive salary at the rate of $12,500 and $25,000 respectively.

The reason for fixing the actual salary at $32,000 is, as mentioned by the Secretary of State, to better secure the position of the Governor as an Officer in charge of a First Class Government under the Governor's Pension Acts.

No. 30.

CENTRAL POLICE BARRACKS,

HONGKONG, 29th January, 1891.

　　SIR,-I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the Police Report for the year 1890.

　　2. The total number of offences coming under the cognizance of the Police was 8,424, being an increase on the year 1889 of 963 cases giving an increase of 12.90 per cent. Subdivided into Serious and Minor offences (so called) there were, in 1890, 3,100 cases of the former class against 2,893 cases in 1889 showing an increase of 207 or 7.15 per cent, and in latter class 5,324 cases in 1890 as com- pared with 4,568 cases in 1889 giving an increase of 756 cases or 16.54 per cent.

3. During the year there were three cases of murder resulting in the arrest of two prisoners and the conviction of one.

4.The most serious feature in the record of the crime for the past year was the piratical seizure of the S.S. Namoa, belonging to the Douglas Steam-Ship Navigation Company, Limited, on the 10th December last on the voyage from this Port for Swatow which took place off Mendoza Island about 40 miles to the North-East of the Colony. Some forty Chinese embarked as passengers, and when the European Officers, except the one on watch, and the passengers, were at luncheon, took possession of the steamer. Their plans were arranged in a most systematic manner, and were so well carried out that resistance was practically impossible. One European passenger, who from sea-sickness had remained on deck, was shot and killed, as was also one of the Manila Quartermasters. The master, Captain Pocock, met his death by coming up from the saloon when called on deck by the pirates. It is uncertain whether this act, was intentional or done in the excitement of the moment, it is probable that the latter is the case as no subsequent murders ensued, and this unfortunate officer had a well deserved reputation in the opinion of Europeans and Chinese alike. Having made them- selves masters of the vessel, the pirates headed her out to sea until the evening when they steamed back the vessel to Mendoza Island and transferred the plunder, consisting principally of dollars taken from Chinese passengers, to five junks that were in waiting. It is to be noted that although there was a large amount of opium on board, this was not taken, contrary to the plan adopted in previous cases, where opium appeared to be the principal object of the attack.

　　　5.-Seven persons were arrested in connection with this affair, of whom five have been discharged and two await trial. The ringleaders are perfectly well known, as their photographs are, from previous offences, in the hands of the Police, but they have escaped to Chinese Territory, and it will rest in a great measure with the Chinese Authorities, who are displaying every desire to co-operate, whether they will be eventually captured or not. Information as to other persons supposed to have connected in this piracy has been confidentially supplied. So far two men who have been identified have been arrested in this Colony, and one by the Chinese the latter having made confession.

　　　6.-The form of piratical seizure carried out in this case is one of habitual use among the Chinese. At the time of the troubles with China in 1857, the steamer Thistle was seized in this way by Chinese soldiers. (cf. Dennys Treaty Ports, p. 73.) In the same way the steamer Spark trading between Macao and Canton was captured in 1874 and the S.S. Greyhound bound from this port to Hoihow in 1885.

　　　7. All experience goes to show that the habits of the criminal classes of Chinese are quite unaltered from the days when, before its cession to Her Majesty, this Island and the neighbouring creeks and islands were occupied by men who were fishermen by occupation, but were always ready to turn to piracy when the opportunity was afforded. Before the Chinese Government began to claim its rights of State as to the integrity of its shores, the suppression of piracy in the waters surround-

148

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH MARCH, 1891.

　ing this Colony, was mainly in the hands of the British Naval Authorities, who were always ready to co-operate with the Police and to act on the information they received. But in those days they had at their disposal gunboats drawing four and six feet of water and, though of slow speed, well fitted to follow piratical junks up the numerous creeks that abound on the coast. The gun vessels at present in commission draw far too much water to perform the work with any degree of safety, and since this Island has been surrounded with a cordon of Chinese revenue cruisers, and the number of attacks on British vessels has diminished, the work of the capture of pirates has been mainly left to the Chinese Government. That piracy is still rampant in Chinese Territory is manifest from the reports that appear in the Chinese papers.

　　　8.-Where steamers carry so large a number of Chinese passengers from a Free Port, wherein there is no previous examination of baggage, and where the vessels can leave from any part of the Harbour at any hour, it is difficult to suggest any certain method of precaution. But it must be accepted as an axiom that the Chinese criminal does not change his habits, and therefore although the local safety of residents may possibly be greater than it was in the earlier days of the Colony, yet it is imprudent to calculate on this immunity from attack being always maintained. Still more is it incumbent on those who have control of vessels after leaving this Colony to see that a prudential system of defence is maintained. In the Police Report for 1873 published some eight months before the piracy on the Spark, it was pointed out that sailing vessels were liable to piratical attacks until the men thrown out of work by the abolition of the coolie trade had found honest employment. So at the present time, the salt and opium smugglers find their nefarious trade day by day more seriously impeded by the vigilance of the Chinese Customs Officials under European superintendence; these men driven from their usual lawless occupation will for some time be dangerous characters. It there- fore follows that all ships carrying Chinese passengers should be supplied with a competent crew, that restrictions should be placed on the movements of the passengers, and that the officers and men should be supplied with proper weapons, the ammunition, which in this climate rapidly deteriorates, being regularly tested. The inspection of outgoing passengers by the Police is a course that may occasionally end in a good result, but too much reliance must not be placed on its efficiency-the number of detectives is limited, each officer may know a certain number of suspicious characters, but no one can know a large proportion, whilst to carry on this duty with reference to every ship would entail an amount of work beyond their power, if their other local duties have also to be attended to.

　　　9.--As these piratical attacks on European vessels now take place from the passengers, it is against this peril that measures must be taken, possibly one of the surest of these is the provision, as has been suggested of hose delivering hot water.

　　　For an attack by junks a steam vessel has always at command the power to ram the attacking craft, if only the rudder is knocked off by the collision the junk will be helpless.

　　　10.-As to the general state of crime, having been employed on official duty away from the Police from the 19th February to the 22nd December I am not in a position to enter into details; but from the returns it would appear that the principal increase is in cases of Larcenies, viz.: 301 cases, and unlawful possession 31 cases. In most of the other serious offences a decrease is shown.

In Miscellaneous offences no less than 1,364 cases are connected with the Opium Ordinance. 11.-The health of the Police Force has been good, only seven deaths having occurred; and on the whole the casualties (76) have been fewer than usual.

I have the honour to be,

Your most obedient Servant,

POLICE DEPARTMENT,

24th February, 1891.

　　SIR,-I have the honour to report that the following arrests of persons implicated in the Namoa Piracy have been made out of this Colony, so far as can be ascertain :--

1st. Major Lai Ching Pui (L) arrested a man named Fan Kun Tai, (), in the

Heung Shan () district, in the beginning of January.

2nd. The Macao Police arrested Pa? Un () alias Mo Lo Un () on the 29th

January. He committed suicide in prison the same night.

3rd. About the same date the Chinese Authorities arrested Lo Un, (), Li Peng, (*), Pang Chau () and Cheung Ki Shau (C) on the S.S. White Cloud on her arrival at Canton from Macao. The last named man turned informer.

4th. On the 2nd February, the Macao authorities seized two fishing junks and arrested Pang Kun Fun (EME), Ho Fat To (), Ho Fat Tseung (1) and over thirty others, old and young, males and females.

5th. The Macao Police have arrested a man named Wong Yuk () on suspicion of

having taken part in the piracy.

6th. The Chinese gunboat Kwong Un () seized a fishing junk near Macao and seized

all persons on board for being concerned in the piracy.

7th. Major Lai () arrested a man named Wong A Tai () at Kam Tau Wan (4) in the Heung Shan (H) district. This information came from Macao and pro- bably refers to the first case, although the names are different.

8th. The Chinese Authorities arrested Chim Kang Ya? (f) about the beginning of this

month at Tai Pang () in the San On () district.

Pau Un () alias Mo Lo Un () was mentioned on Inspector STANTON's report of the 15th December as the chief organizer of the piracy, and in the same report Lo Un (7), Li Pengs (4), Pau Cha? (H) and Chim Kang Ya? () were mentioned as in the gang. They are Hakkas from Shaukiwan. Pau A Chan () is possibly the same as Pang A Cha? (.)

There is no word of Fung Shun Yau (), Lai A Tsat (L), Wong Cha? () or Chau Iu (). It is supposed some, if not all, of them have gone to Ng Chau () in Kwong Sai (廣西).

Seven men have been arrested in the Colony, but have all been discharged through failure of evidence of identification.

I have the honour to be,

SIR,I have the honour to forward, under this enclosure, the usual Tabulated Summary of the amounts earned, during the year 1890, by the 76 Schools of the Colony under the Grant-in-Aid Code of 1883, and I beg to recommend that, if the pro rata reduction which I find necessary is approved by His Excellency the Governor, and if the account I enclose is found correct by the Audit Office, a warrant be issued for the payment, through the Colonial Treasury, of the Grants due, as hereunder explained, and amounting in the aggregate (after a reduction of 10 per cent.) to $19,704.17.

2. The sum nominally earned by 76 Schools under the provisions of the Grant-in-Aid Code, at the end of the year 1890, amounts to a total of $22,015.46, but as the sum voted for Grants-in-Aid, and included in the Estimates for 1891, amounts only to $20,000 and has already been drawn upon to the amount of $250, the balance now actually available for Grants-in-Aid amounts to $19,750, so that the Grants nominally earned by the Grant-in-Aid Schools in 1890 exceed the balance in hand by $2,265.46.

3. I beg to recommend therefore that the amounts nominally earned by the Grant-in-Aid Schools in 1890 be subjected, as usual in such cases,.to a pro rata reduction, which in the present case I propose to fix at 10 per cent. This reduction will amount in the aggregate to $2,311.29 and bring down the amount payable to the Schools to $19,704.17. Thus the expenditure for Grants-in-Aid will be kept within the limits of the Estimates for 1891, leaving in hand a balance of $45.83.

　　4. For this recommendation there are several precedents on record. It will be seen from C.S.O. 493 of 1883, 291 of 1888 and 258 of 1890, that the Grants nominally earned by the Grant-in- Aid Schools were subjected to pro rata reductions, amounting in 1883 to 14.33 per cent., in 1888 to 1 per cent. and in 1890 to 5.3 per cent.

5. My authority for this recommendation is contained in Secretary of State's Despatch No. 211 of 30th September, 1882, in which Lord KIMBERLEY directed "that the sum of money voted each year for Grants-in-Aid ought not, under any circuinstances, to be exceeded." The justice of the proposed reduction will be seen from the fact that the Grant-in-Aid Code under which these Grants have been nominally earned, makes express provision for an occasional reduction of the amount, by laying down the rule (No. 6) that "the Governinent will not bind itself to give Grants to all Schools claiming them under the foregoing conditions, but will be guided by the circumstances of each case and by the amount of money at its disposal for cducational purposes.

6. I now beg to recommend that the enclosed accounts be examined as usual by the Audit Office and that, when the accounts are approved or revised, a warrant be issued for the sum of $19,704.17 to be disbursed, as usual, by the Colonial Treasury.

7. It has been customary, since 1884, for the Inspector of Schools to supply the Colonial Trea- surer with a detailed list of the payees and of the amounts due under the Grant-in-Aid account, when approved by the Audit Office, and to supply the Managers and Teachers with warrants for the respective payments due in each case. These warrants are then paid on presentation at the Treasury and retaine there as vouchers of the payments made. This mode of payment has all along worked satisfactorily and I propose to follow the same plan in the present case.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

E. J. EITEL, PH. D.,

Inspector of Schools.

The Honourable F. FLEMING, C.M.G.,

Colonial Secretary.

This StandardWork 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 LanguageofChin?,ancientand 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 Council divided on the vote of $1,830 the increment to the salaries of the Masters of Victoria College, with the result that it was carried by a majority of six votes to four.

The other votes were agreed to without a division.

　　　PAPER LAID ON THE TABLE.-The Honourable P. RYRIE laid on the table the following protest against the vote of $123,870.96 the moiety of the Military Contribution for 1890:--

We, the undersigned, the Un-official Members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong, desire to place on record our emphatic protest against the Re-vote of the sum of $123,870.96 originally voted by this Council on the 26th day of March, 1890, as an addition to the Mili- tary Contribution payable by the Colony for the year 1890, and which, not having been disbursed within the financial year, has necessarily been again submitted to the Council before payment can be constitutionally authorized or made.

We protest against this Re-vote on the following among other grounds :-

1. That this addition to the Military Contribution was originally demanded on the sole ground that the garrison of the Colony was about to be largely increased. No other grounds for the increase were even hinted at in the Secretary of State's despatch and he goes so far as to explain how the additional amount demanded had been arrived at, solely by a comparison of the numbers of the then existing and of the intended future garrison.

2. That the additional Military Contribution was proposed in this Council, discussed and voted solely on the ground that an increased military force was required for the efficient defence of the Colony, and that the amount asked for was reasonable in view of the proposed increase.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH APRIL, 1891.

245

3. That, however deferentially the Resolutions were worded, the additional military contribution was granted by this Council upon the faith of an express promise that the garrison should be increased and upon the condition that the money should not be demanded or paid unless there was an increase in the strength of the Military forces stationed here, and in proportion to that increase.

4. That, as evidenced by the published despatches, the Officer Administering the Government and the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies accepted the vote as conditional and as based on the promise of and dependent on the presence of a largely increased garrison.

5. That, during the year 1890, there was no addition made to the strength of the force stationed in Hongkong; no preparations for such increase; no evidence of any real intention ever to grant the increase and no reason is now assigned for the failure of Her Majesty's Government to keep the promise made to the Colony.

6. That the promise not having been kept, the condition not having been observed, the vote fell to the ground and the non-payment of the money voted was just and proper and to be approved of by this Council.

7. That if Her Majesty's Government had frankly recognised the right of the Council to treat the vote of last year as inoperative for the reasons above stated and had applied to the Council for an additional Military Contribution for 1890, on general grounds and irrespective of any increase in the Garrison, the Un-official Members would have given every consideration to the appeal and would have impartially examined the question from the point of view presented by His Excellency the President in his address to the Council on the 19th March instant.

8. That this very proper and reasonable course has not been adopted; that the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies in his telegram and despatch of the 13th February last demands payment as of money due on the footing of the original vote; that the matter was brought before the Finance Committee of this Council as a re-vote and that all discussion was stifled and all time for consideration refused on the ground that it was only a re-vote and that further discussion, if not absolutely forbidden, was a mere waste of time; that the re-vote, (carried in the Financial Committee simply by the casting vote of the Chairman), came before this Council for confirmation on the same footing, and that the Un-official Members are within their right in refusing now to allow the vote to be supported on grounds other than those on which it was originally granted.

9. The Un-official Members therefore protest against this re-vote, forced through Council in opposition to their views and to the views and opinions of the vast majority of the Colonists and they protest against the payment of the money so voted and against the action of the Imperial Government in demanding the money when the promises on the faith of which it was granted have not been fulfilled.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

HONGKONG, 19th March, 1891.

　　　The Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD gave notice that at the next meeting of Council he would ask the following questions:-

1. What was the total expenditure of the Government under the head of salaries for the years 1887, 1888, 1889, and 1890, and what is the estimated total expenditure for the current year under the same heading on the basis of the increased pay and allowances recommended by this Council?

2. What was the total expenditure on the Public Works Department in the years 1887, 1888, 1889, and 1890, for salaries and wages, and what is the estimated expenditure under the same heading for the current year on the Public Works Department and Water and Drainage Department combined?

246

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11?H APRIL, 1891.

3. How is it that there has been no meeting of the Public Works Committee appointed in October

last?

4. Does the Government intend to give effect to the recommendation of the Un-official Members in their addendum of the 20th December, 1890, to submit to the Public Works Committee full details and estimates of all Public Works?

5. What arrangements have been made for examining and checking accounts sent to the Treasury for payment, and have any difficulties arisen, since the new system of audit was introduced, in checking and examining accounts for payment?

6. What are the duties of the Treasury Department and the Treasurer, under the new organization

of that department?

Honourable J. J. KESWICK asked the following question :-

Will the Government inform the Council whether in view of the piracy of the "Namoa" in December last any steps have been taken for special Police supervision of native passengers embarking on steamers, and if not is it the intention of the Government to adopt any measures whatever?

The Acting Colonial Secretary and His Excellency replied.

The following Annual Report of the Postmaster General, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 10th instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 11th April, 1891.

W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, March 6th, 1891.

SIR,-In presenting my report on the British Postal Service in Hongkong and China during the year 1890, I feel compelled to advert at the beginning to the heavy loss sustained through the death of the late Postmaster General, Mr. LISTER, who, from the date of his appointment in April 1875 till the day he left Hongkong upon his last and fatal voyage in July, devoted a large portion of his experience and energy to the conduct of Postal matters. By his staff, he will always be remembered for his urbanity, insistence on details and personal capacity for work: whilst the public found in him. the embodiment of civility and an officer always ready to redress legitimate grievances, and carry out practical popular reforms and proposals.

　　2. The Department has lost another zealous servant in the person of Mr. A. J. RODRIGUES, the second clerk, who joined the staff in February 1870.

3. During the year, the personnel of the Department has undergone considerable change. When I went on leave in April 1890, Mr. T. SERCOMBE-SMITH Supplied my place and proved of valuable assistance to Mr. LISTER, who was for the next few months mostly confined to his room and bed. Upon Mr. LISTER's decease, I was appointed Acting Postmaster General with Mr. SMIT? as second in command. On the 22nd March the withdrawal from the Colony of Z. M. BARRADAS, the Super- intendent of the Money Order Department, led to an investigation of his accounts which shewed heavy defalcations on his part. This officer was later on brought back to Hongkong and at the June Criminal Sessions sentenced to three years hard labour. His successor Mr. H. W. DIXON who was appointed on the 1st May has hitherto satisfactorily. performed his duties. The adoption of a new system of checks upon the administration of the Money Order Department has placed the recurrence of frauds si- milar to those lately enacted beyond the pale of likelihood.

4. The Staff consists of 45 persons comprising:-

1 Postmaster General.

1 Assistant Postmaster General.

1 Accountant.

2 Money Order Clerks.

3 Marine Officers.

2 Chinese Assistants for Marine Officers.

11 Clerks.

3 Senior Chinese.

7 Postmen.

3 Peak and Kaulung Postmen.

6 Messengers.

5 Launch Crew.

every officer my thanks are due, but especially to Messrs. ROCHA and MACHADO whose thorough intimacy with the whole range of postal concerns has proved invaluable.

　　5. The Consular Postal Agents in the various Coast and Riverine Ports have sustained thir character for ability and zeal, and it was the most pleasing act of my last year's tenure of office to announce to them that the Secretary of State for the Colonies had yielded to their reiterated reque·ts for an increase of salary.

　　6. In the course of 1890, the honorary Agency at Hoihow was converted into a salaried Agency, whilst the Agency at Tientsin, on the recommendation of the late Mr. LISTER, was discontinued. The postal matter passing through the hands of the Agent at that Port was inconsiderable, most of the correspondence being transmitted through the Chinese Customs Channels.

7. I had occasion to address the Government upon the often mentioned topic of illicit Chinese Post Offices which flourish in the Chinese parts of Victoria. It will be remembered that I recommended that the right to establish such Post Offices should be farmed out and that I expressed an opinion that no other way of bringing the Chinese under a Postal System approximating to that to which the European Colonists are subject was possible so long as China possessed no Postal Administration of The plan proposed will in no way interfere with the peculiar postal facilities hitherto enjoyed by the sons of Han, but will secure to Government a portion of the takings which formerly enriched private individuals.

her own.

250

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH APRIL, 1891.

　　　8. There is another subject to which report after report from this Department has called attention. To no other Department of the Public Service, I presume, is room of more importance than to the Postal Department, yet there is no Department in which there is less space in proportion to require- ments. It is only necessary to point to the extensive postal premises at Sydney, with a population of 225,000, at Singapore, with a population of 180,000, and at Durban, with a population of 25,000, to demonstrate that Hongkong with a population of 200,000 is not marching with the times in the matter of a commodious Post Office. The Assistant Postmaster General has to be content with a high stool and a desk in a recess which overlooks a stand frequented by cacophonous chair bearers. When the European and American Mails are despatched on the same morning, the throng of people attempting to buy stamps and post letters has necessitated the stationing of an officer to divert the stream of Chinese to the back of the Post Office where a counter for the sale of stamps has been extemporised. The internal dimensions of the Post Office, which may have sufficed for the necessities of a quarter of a century ago, are now wholly inadequate, as may be seen by any one, who likes to spend an hour contemplating the sorting and disposal of a French Mail.

9. The number of Dead Letters which have to be opened in the Department to discover the sender is considerable. In many cases there is neither an address nor a signature: it then becomes necessary to peruse the body of the communication in search of some indication of the source of the letter. In this way no little time is consumed and much that was intended for a private view comes under the official gaze. Where the letters einanate from mercantile houses, their origin can almost always be traced by the presence of initials stamped on the envelope, and if private individuals would only put their names on the cover of every letter they wrote, they would have the satisfaction of receiving back their undelivered correspondence in an unmutilated condition. Soldiers' and sailors' letters always bear the name of the sender on the envelope with the result that the members of Her Majesty's land and sea forces have their dead letters restored to them intact.

10. I have to chronicle the reduction in rates of Postage to the Cape 'Colony which began on the 23rd of August and by which letters are now carried for 20 cents instead of 30 cents the half ounce.

　　　11. Negotiations are now in progress with the object of establishing a system of Parcels Post Insurance between Hongkong and the United Kingdom, and of instituting a direct exchange of Money Orders and closed Parcels between this Colony and the Dominion of Canada. The Insurance scheme is sure to command public favour whilst the advantages of a direct exchange with Canada by means of the new Empress" Steamers over the devious route via London are palpable.

　　　12. For the benefit of the Peak residents, a new mail signal station has been inaugurated at the Mount Gough Police Barracks, which are in a central position and visible to all houses on the southern slopes, even to those situated at Magazine Gap.

　　　13. Another familiar topic is that of the French Mail and the Marine Sorters. In my report for 1889 I said "a settlement of the question in the direction desired may be expected very shortly." I was guided by a letter from the French Consul dated the 22nd May 1889 to His Excellency the Governor (copy attached). Since then, however, a further letter (copy attached) has been received withdrawing this concession.

　　　14. As I pointed out in my report for 1889, it would accelerate the delivery of mails very much if this Department were placed in direct communication with Cape Collinson and Green Island.

FRENCH CONSULATE,

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 22nd May, 1889.

SIR, The French Government have been pleased, in response to the expressed wishes of the Colony of Hongkong, to entertain with favour the delicate proposal made to them of placing a British Mail Agent on board the packet boats of the Messageries Maritimes for the purpose of sorting, between Saigon and Hongkong, correspondence intended for the latter Colony or for transmission to North China.

Such officer would be taken on board on the following conditions :--

The upper mail room in the "batterie" would be placed at his disposal, and would be fitted up for use as an office, but only between Saigon and Hongkong. The agent would besides have the free enjoyment of a first class cabin from Singapore to Hongkong and vice versa, and would be admitted to the same table as first class passengers upon payment of one half of the usual tariff.

Instructions have been sent by the Messageries Maritimes Co. to its agency at Marseilles to effect the necessary alteration on board the packets of the Indo-China line.

I shall be obliged if His Excellency will inform me whether the Colonial Government consents to these terms, and, if it does, from what date they may come into operation.

I have the honour to be,

His Excelleney Sir GEO. W. DES VEUX, K.C.M.G.,

Governor of Hongkong, &c., &c., &c.

Sir, Your obedient Servant,

BEZAURE.

FRENCH REPUBLIC, PARIS, 5th February, 1890.

　　SIR,-This Administration has just learned that the Colonial Authorities of Hongkong in the name of your office, have recently taken fresh steps to secure the admission on board the packet boats of the Messageries Maritimes of a British Agent who would start from Singapore and sort correspondence intended for Hongkong.

　　In its great desire to contribute as much as lay in its power to the improvement of the Postal Service of Hongkong, this Administration had actually taken the scheme into consideration, notwith- standing the very serious inconveniences which might result to the French Service from its adoption.

252

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH APRIL, 1891.

　　In consequence however of the abandonment (denonciation) of the Anglo-French Postal Conven- tion of the 24th September, 1856, it has seemed proper to postpone the carrying out of the works contemplated on board our mail packets till the conditions of the favoured regime which shall be applicable in the future to mail packets touching at the ports of the two countries, shall have been settled by mutual agreement between the Governments of France and Great Britain.

The following Report of the Government Central School for Girls for the year 1890, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 10th instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 11th April, 1891.

W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.

No. 6.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 17th January, 1891.

　　SIR, -I have the honour to forward the Report of the Government Central School for Girls, and to inquire if His Excellency the Governor considers the School of sufficient importance to sanction a public prize giving and, in that case, to honour the School by presiding on the occasion with Lady DES VEUX, considering that the first establishment of this School is due to His Excellency.

　　2. I enclose the Report of the Head Mistress Miss WARD, and whilst fully endorsing her remarks, beg to add that the result of the examinations which I conducted was highly satisfactory in all respects, and that the recommendations which Miss WARD makes will be attended to by me and submitted to the Government in specific form as soon as an opportunity offers for improving the location of the School without exceeding the Estimates for the year. Although the School has certainly prospered during the first year of its existence and under adverse circumstances, it would be premature at present to say

　　　that the School had ceased being a mere experiment and to pronounce it an accomplished success with sufficient confidence to warrant for the present any increase of expenditure for house accommodation.

　　3. The Estimates for 1891 provide the sum of $15 for prizes and this sum will be distributed among the most deserving children in the form of presents as the Head Mistress may deem best. But I beg to be informed whether the School which now consists of 45 girls, some Europeans, many Eurasians (in European dress) and a few Chinese, is considered by His Excellency of sufficient import- ance to justify the School being honoured by His Excellency or Lady DES V?ux, presiding on prize giving day, or whether the prize giving should be held in private until the School has assumed larger dimensions.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Hon. F. FLEMING, C.M.G.,

Colonial Secretary.-

*REPORT. 1890.

E. J. EITEL, Inspector of Schools.

GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.

To His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government.

　　SIR,-I have the honour to submit to you the First Annual Report of the Government Central School for Girls, for the year 1890.

I.-Resume of the School's Aims and Progress.

　　This School was opened on March 1st, 1890, for the purpose of providing an ordinary middle class English education for the daughters of European, Indian and Chinese residents in this Colony.

The staff consisted of: -

1. An English trained certificated Mistress.

2. An Assistant Mistress (Chinese).

3. A Teacher of Chinese.

In the first month 34 pupils were enrolled, and at the end of December there were 45 children in regular attendance, shewing a net increase of 11 during the ten months, March to December inclusive.

The average attendance in March was 27, whilst that for December was 40, which shows a greater improvement in the regularity of the attendance than in the increase of pupils.

Subjoined is a list of the averages for March-December.

In August Miss MANN resigned her duties as Head Mistress of the School.

Steady though slow progress has been made throughout the year and we may confidently look

forward to a large increase of numbers at the new year.

254

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH APRIL, 1891.

I-Work of the Year.

　　　The School is in two divisions, Upper and Lower. The former consists of the more advanced English-speaking girls and these are taught by the Head Mistress, receiving instruction in:-Reading, Arithmetic, Composition, Grammar, History, Geography, Drawing and Needlework.

The study of Chinese is optional.

　　　The Lower Division is in charge of the Chinese Assistant Mistress by whom they are taught English Reading, Writing and Arithmetic.

II.-Suggested Improvements.

　　　The surroundings of the present School premises militate strongly against the chances of success in attracting the daughters of Europeans. The school is situated in an uninviting neighbourhood, sur- rounded by Chinese houses it is inconspicuous, and has no open space which can be utilised as a play ground.

Internally the premises also are inconvenient: it is difficult for the Head Mistress to supervise the younger classes, as they are on a lower floor, and the upper classes under her direct training are in separate rooms, which is an unsatisfactory arrangement. If two large rooms on the same level in a better neighbourhood could be obtained, there is no doubt that the number of pupils would quickly increase, and the work of the School could be carried on with greater efficiency.

　　　2. Although the present staff is quite adequate for the scholars now in attendance, it is advisable that an English girl should be obtained as a pupil teacher who could be trained to assist in the work of the school while at the same time continuing her own education.

　　　A girl brought up in the school would be a much more valuable teacher than one unaccustomed to school routine.

　　　3. In English schools, increasing attention is now paid to physical training and exercises, and in nearly all the large Board schools some system of drill is in use. If the suggestion as to more convenient school premises can be carried out, it would be practicable to take up a modified form of Swedish drill, such as is given in the London Board schools, and which forms a pleasant change from the ordinary routine of school work, at the same time counteracting the tendency to stoop, induced by long hours in a sitting position. In the present building, such exercises can not be given, owing to lack of space,

but there is no doubt that, if the school is removed to more convenient premises, some system of drill can be introduced, which will add to the happiness and well-being of the children and the popularity of the school.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

MARY E. WARD.

SIR, I have the honour to forward the Annual Report on this College for 1890.

　　　1. The total number of boys on the Roll during the past year was 1,075, being 156 more than the previous year. The number of days during which the school was opened was 236. This is three days more than the previous year, and considering that two extra days were granted by His Excellency The Administrator at the usual Tsing Ming holidays on account of the visit of Their Royal Highnesses, THE DUKE and DUCHESS of CONNAUGHT, and further that the school had to be closed one day in July owing to inclement weather, this number may be considered good.

　　3. During the last year there were on the Roll 941 Chinese and Eurasians, 23 English, 8 Hebrews, 10 Japanese, 37 Mahometans, 45 Portuguese, 2 Parsees, 3 Germans, 5 Spaniards and 1 Siamese. These different races are mingled together in the various classes, and notwithstanding the great variety of creeds and races, the harmony of the school is very seldom disturbed by any differences between them.

　　4. In accordance with the notification mentioned in the Head Master's Report last year, the curriculum of the First Class has been somewhat altered. General Reading, more Grammar an Composition lessons were introduced into the Time Table, and Latin, Chemistry, Drawing, Book- keeping, Mensuration and Trigonometry were made Optional subjects. Of these subjects Mensuration, Drawing, and Book-keeping were taught 2 hour on Mondays and Thursdays during morning school and the other subjects during the afternoon-Chemistry being taught on Mondays and Thursdays, Trigonometry on Wednesdays and Latin on Fridays. Of the subjects taught during the morning, the majority of boys chose Book-keeping; only four took Mensuration and two drawing. As I could not give the services of one master to teach two boys drawing, I was compelled to withdraw this subject and the two boys joined the Book-keeping class. Of the four who took up Mensuration only two returned after the Mid-summer holidays, and another change was necessary. As I considered Mensuration of more practical use than Trigonometry, I discontinued the latter, and a class for Men- suration was held during the afternoon on the same day that that for Trigonometry had been held. Thus Book-keeping only was taught during the morning, and that to the whole class.

5. It was stated last year that gymnastic appliances would, in the course of the year, be erected in the covered play-ground to give the boys an opportunity of developing their physique. There is however I think a certain amount of danger attached to the use of gymnastic appliances without the supervision of an instructor, and so those appliances have not been put up. I hope however that some kind of drill will be instituted this year which will be of greater benefit to the whole school than gymnastic appliances which I fear would be but very little used by the Chinese.

6. A light change has been made in the staff during the year. Mr. HASELDEN resigned and Mr. G. A. WOODCOCK was appointed to fill the vacancy. In April last, the Head Master, Mr. WRIGHT, went home on leave to take a well-earned holiday; and in June Mr. JAMESON also had leave of absence; and thus we have been working with a reduced staff of European Masters for half the year.

7. With reference to the Pupil Teachers, two of the three have, since June, been acting as Chinese Assistant Masters, and so have not been able to attend any class of instruction-save that on school management-yet one of them, LEUNG LAN-FAN, has passed the Oxford Local, and obtained the title of Associate in Arts.

As the Monitors are not articled, they are frequently leaving for more lucrative employment, and thus there are constant changes in the Normal class, which make good results in an examination an impossibility, and further, as Mr. JONES who has had charge of this class has pointed out to me, these changes make the teaching a thankless task.

8. This year nine pupils went in for the Senior Oxford Local, of whom three passed. Two being under the age of 19 years were declared Associates in Arts, and the other one gained his certificate.

9. The following are the results of Examinations just held. There were 692 boys examined of whom 619 passed, which gives a percentage of 89.45, and though this is lower than in previous years, yet considering that many promotions were made after the Mid-summer Vacation to allow new boys

256

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH APRIL, 1891.

to enter, and as thus very many boys had only six months to get up their work in, I consider the results on the whole satisfactory. To particularise, the work done in classes IA, IIB, IIIA, and the Preparatory School in general, deserves special mention; while that of IB, and IIIB is far below the

average.

10. Of the boys who have left during the past year, 3 have entered the Colonial Service, 11 the Chinese Imperial Customs' Service, 38 have obtained employment in the various firms and private offices in the Colony, and 25 have gone, under Foreign employ, to the Coast Ports.

A good many boys have left school without assigning any reason, but from what I can gather the two chief causes seem to be inability to pay the fees, and change of residence. Unless a boy is leaving to go into some office, for which he requires a certificate, it is a very difficult matter to get from the Chinese the actual cause of a boy's leaving.

　　　11. In conclusion I must take up the strain of Mr. WRIGHT's last year's Report and express the gratitude of the Masters and the boys to all who have so generously provided prizes for the encourage- ment of our scholars.

REPORT.

Colonial Veterinary Surgeon.

Importation of Cattle, Sheep and Swine.

In the earlier days of Hongkong it was the custom to house all animals brought into the Colony for the purpose of being slaughtered for human food in private sheds, many of which were simply the ground floors of dwelling houses.

These places were scattered all over the city and the animals were under little or no supervision. Some years after a depot was built for the reception of cattle to be used as a quarantine station; this was undoubtedly the first step, but unfortunately no housing sheds were provided at the same time, and hence the quarantine station was gradually converted into a permanent depot, a small mat- shed taking the place of the former. The result of this was that nearly all the cattle landed in the Colony for slaughtering purposes were housed there under very superior conditions, but no provision was made for the sheep and swine.

I am pleased to be able to state however that from representations made to the Government by myself they have now decided to erect sheep and swine depots both of which are now in the course of construction. These being completed, all animals intended for slaughter will then be under super- vision at all times.

占

I regret to say however that I understand that no provision has been made in this year's Estimates for the Reception Lairs for animals upon landing, as recommended to the Government in the joint report of the Honourable the SURVEYOR GENERAL, the Honourable O. CHADWICK and myself. This appeared to me to be the first step which should have been taken as all animals would then be landed directly into those lairs and kept under supervision (as at home) for a fixed period for the purpose of detecting any present or latent disease, before going on to the regular depots and possibly conveying disease to healthy animals.

With the already sanctioned depots and some Reception Lairs at the shore, the system would then be complete.

Since the year 1886, the importation of cattle for slaughter has increased by more than a thou- sand head per annum, the number housed in the Government Depot for the year ending December 31st 1890 being 16,617.

SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

Victoria.

　　The Government having decided to erect a new slaughter-house, a site is now being prepared at Kennedy Town adjacent to that of the new sheep and swine depots. The present one has long been insufficient to meet the requirements of the city, the number of animals increasing considerably year by year.

Number of animals slaughtered during year ending December 31st, 1890:-

Cattle. 16,329.....

Sheep.

Swine.

10,091..................112,518

These returns show an increase of 656 cattle and 3,977 swine, with a decrease of 19 sheep for the year; the decrease in the number of sheep probably being due to their increased value.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH APRIL, 1891.

Aberdeen.

　　　There is no slaughter-house at this place and I would advise that one be erected as soon as possible, to be placed in such a position as to be available for the three villages of Aberdeen, Aplichau, and Little Hongkong.

Stanley

　　　Has no slaughter-house at present and I think that a small one should be built, the accommoda- tion required would be very small, and a building for this purpose could be erected at a moderate

cost.

Shaukiwan

　　　Has no proper slaughter-house, the present one being simply the basement floor of a Chinese dwelling-house. As the number of animals killed there is comparatively large a better building would be required than at Stanley but the cost would probably not be great.

I am pleased to say that the Government have already voted a sum of money in this year's est- mates to provide for a slaughter-house in this part of the Colony, the present one being the basemenit floor of a Chinese dwelling house.

　　　With reference to my remarks upon the above subjects I beg to draw the attention of the Board to Section 8 of Ordinance 17 of 1887.

MARKETS.

Central.

　　　This is still a temporary erection pending the building of the new market. During my absence a report was submitted to the Board by the Assistant Inspector of Markets calling their attention to the bad smells arising from the fore-shore over which the market is built. The matter was looked into by the Sanitary Superintendent and under his direction the nuisance was abated by clearing away all sand, &c., which was exposed at low tide.

　　　I would now like to draw the attention of the Board to the fact that fruit shop No. 2 is situated directly above the mouth of a sewer which discharges at this point into the harbour, and as the smell from which is at times very objectionable, I would advise that at least two or three of these shops, if not the whole cight, be closed and that temporary ones be erected elsewhere for the occupants.

..160,776 50,644

　　　This market is the principal centre of the Chinese trade, and is situated in the heart of the most populous district.

　　　Having been built for a great number of years when the requirements were much less than at the present time, the accommodations are not all which could be wished and it should be re-constructed as soon as possible.

　　　A site has, I believe, been selected for a new building opposite to the Sailors' Home, and is now being reclaimed: but in my opinion it is not a suitable position at all, unless to be used as a wholesale market which was the intention of Mr. PRICE when starting the same.

　　　As a retail market it would be much too far away from the bulk of the people who should draw their supplies from it; Saiyingpoon market amply meeting all requirements in that district.

I think that the present position is a most desirable one and there should be ample space to erect

a new building upon it which would answer every purpose.

　　　I believe it was at one time the intention of the Government to abolish the Saiyingpoon Market but this I think would be undesirable.

　　Up to the present time this place has had no public market and I would suggest that the matter be considered by the Board at the carliest opportunity.

　　The three villages of Aberdeen, Aplichau and Little Hongkong could all be supplied from one point which should be Aberdeen.

Stanley

　　Is also without a market but I think that as the population of this place is small that there is no pressing necessity for one at present.

Yaumati.

　　Twenty-five stalls are vacant in this market and I am of opinion that this is due in a great mea- sure to the large number of hawkers which are allowed to congregate outside the gates.

HAWKERS.

　　In my report of January, 1890, I mentioned the great nuisance caused by hawkers gathering round the entrances of the principal markets, and I am pleased to say that since the 25th of March arrangements have been made which dispel in a great measure this obstruction, except at Yaumati where the nuisance remains unabated,

countries as to the deterrent effects of this system would be applicable to Chinese prisoners. The question of the reformatory facilities of the system appears not to have been considered nor has any reference been inade to the monstrous evils of the present Gaol system in this Colony. As far back as 1886 I brought to notice of Government in a special Report the scandalous state of overcrowding of this Gaol. An influential Committee was appointed to enquire into and report on this subject in the spring of 1886 but no steps have yet been taken to improve the state of matters then reported. There were then and are now in this Gaol 95 associated cells occupied many of them day and night. These are crowded to such an extent that the Prisoners have on an average rather less than 200 cubic feet of air each. They sleep on the floors packed together covered by their blankets; it is impossible to prevent-their conversing at night under the blankets. It is needless to speak of morality or decency. I will only observe that these Prisoners are many of them day and night in a state of overcrowding which even by night alone in the city of Victoria is declared by law to be a nuisance. They breathe in about one-third less cubic space than is by law permitted for night lodging-houses. Were the Superintendent of the Gaol a lodging-house keeper he would be liable to a fine of $50 for every one of 95 associated cells in Victoria Gaol. (See Ordinance 24 of 1887, sections 67 to 75.) This Ordinance refers only to sanitary matters but the moral aspect of this state of things is far graver. Victoria Gaol is, in my opinion, simply a school of vice and crime. The unfortunate man previously not a criminal who finds his way to Gaol perhaps for a breach of opium laws, a street fight or any other petty offence, runs a risk of contamination which it is difficult to escape, many emerge well instructed in crime. The evil influence extends beyond the Gaol; they promise to visit the friends of their prison comrades and are not improved by the contact. It is true indeed that every effort is made to avoid contamination by keeping different classes apart-boys from men, old offenders from first offenders, &c.,--but this is of little use.

　　　　　In a cell full of 8 or 9 new offenders, it must often happen that one or more though new offenders as regards this Gaol are old criminals from other places who devote themselves to corrupting the more innocent. Hongkong is well known to be full of pirates, burglars, thieves and criminals of every description many of whom are associated in Triad Societies. I am aware that at one time (and probably now) upwards of one hundred members of the Triad Society were in Gaol and recruits to this society were largely obtained from discharged prisoners. The present associated system of this Gaol lends extraordinary facilities to the extension of these criminal organizations and whatever money may be saved to the Public, by refusing to build the Gaol accommodation which health, decency and criminal reform require will probably have to be paid in increased Police expenses and increased insecurity to life and property in the Colony and neighbouring waters. The Chinese prisoners in this Gaol while exposed to all these evil influences have on the other hand nothing done for their improve- ment. The little that is done is to teach some of the confirmed criminals honest trades. This cannot be done for all; there is no space for proper workshops. The bulk of the Prisoners have to be employed in the monotonous and profitless labour of shot and stone carrying varied by oakum picking. Nothing is done to expand or elevate their minds; no tuition of any sort is provided; no one is appointed to visit them and encourage them with kindly words of human sympathy. A native Missionary indeed preaches in Chinese on Sundays in the yard-this is all.

With such a state of matters would it not appear to be the duty of the Colony at least to provide for its prisoner a building fit to preserve the health, decency and morality of the inmates, to save them from the fatal and corrupting influence of the worst criminals and to give a reasonable prospect of weaning them from crime and teaching them self-respect and industry.

Prisoners and their Discipline.

6. During the year there have been 11,756 Prison Offences to an average of 566, giving a little over 203 offences for each Prisoner. The great proportion of Prison Offences are committed by short sentence Prisoners. Prisoners entitled to earn remission are generally careful to avoid Prison Offences. On the last day of the year, of 287 Prisoners sentenced to 6 months' imprisonment or over, 93 have been clear of punishment for more than three months and of these 13 had been clear for upwards of a year.

　　7. I append as usual Returns showing the number of the most common offences committed by Prisoners, similar Returns for the last three years being shown alongside for the sake of comparison.

Industrial Labour.

8. There has been a decrease in the industrial earnings during the year owing chiefly to the increased cost of paper stuff for oakum picking, but industrial work is greatly hampered by absolute want of

　　The following Report of the Sanitary Superintendent for the year 1890, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 10th instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 11th April, 1891.

W. M. DEANE,

‧

Acting Colonial Secretary.

SANITARY BOARD ROOM, HONGKONG, 7th MARCH, 1891.

To the President and Members of the Sanitary Board.

GENTLEMEN,

　　I have the honour to submit this the second annual report-year 1890-concerning the work done by the Sanitary Department.

DRAINAGE WORKS.

2. In addition to the works carried out by property owners of their own motion a considerable number of houses which were found on inspection to be in an insanitary condition have been re-drained at the request of the Board. I append a tabular statement (A) showing:-

(a.) The locality in which the houses so found to be insanitary are situated.

(b.) The number of houses so found at each such locality.

(c.) The houses so found for which plans for their re-drainage have been submitted.

(d.) The houses so found in which the work of re-drainage has been completed.

(e.) Explanatory remarks regarding the houses so found for which no plans have as yet been submitted.

3. It has frequently happened during the year that comparatively new pipe-drains have become choked-in most cases through their misuse-and with a view to assisting and instructing house-holders how to deal with drains thus choked the Inspectors have been furnished with a few simple tools with which-in most cases--by the expenditure of a little time the drains have been cleared. Of course, care has been exercised to carefully explain to the householders that such work is no part of the duty of the Inspectors and that it has simply been done to show them how the drains can be cleared and if properly used kept clear. If householders, through their servants, will carelessly or wilfully injure or destroy the drains of the houses they occupy it seems but right that they should make good such injuries at their own cost. However, this is a point which may safely be left for settlement between landlord and tenant, I merely mention it as a point which, I think, will be of some interest to Members of the Board.

MARKETS AND SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.

　　4. The remarks made in the report for 1889 under this head are equally applicable to the past year. When the new Slaughter-houses and Markets are completed a great and much needed advance in the public management of the Colony's supply of perishable articles of food should, with care and tact, be fairly easily attained.

5. During the year the whole of the cow-keepers in the Colony so altered and arranged their sheds as to entitle them to be licensed as fit places in which to keep cattle. In some of the outlying villages there are some cattle kept although no sheds have been licensed and it is understood that the animals are not housed in any way.

6. On the 3rd of March the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon reported an outbreak of Pleuro-Pneumonia at a dairy in Second Street. At a meeting of the Board held on the same day it was decided to slaughter the whole of the animals in this dairy. This was done on the morning of the 4th March. Judging from what had occurred in the Colony before, I think that the prompt action taken on this occasion put an end to what might have proved ruinous to many of the cow- keepers in the Colony and very seriously affected the supply of milk.

7. On the 8th November 1890 information was received that some animals on board a Russian transport, lying in the Aberdeen Dock, were suffering from Pleuro-Pneumonia. With the exception of one which died and was buried on shore the animals were slaughtered and their carcases were buried at sea by the Captain of the transport.

8. It is rather a curious circumstance that with the exception of the cases quoted not a single case of disease among the 786 head of cattle for which licences to house have been issued, has been reported. It may be that there has been none but, if so, it is rather remarkable. The attention of the licensees has been directed to the bye-law providing for the reporting of any and every case of disease which may occur among their stock.

MORTALITY STATISTICS.

9. The attached tabular statements (B) show,

a. The death rate for 1890 for;

1. The British and Foreign community.

2. The Chinese community on land in each Registration District.

3. The Chinese community afloat in each Registration District.

4. The Chinese community on land in the Colony.

5. The Chinese community afloat in the Colony.

6. The total Chinese community in the Colony.

7. The British, Foreign, and Chinese communities combined-army and navy included.

b. The number of deaths occurring under each of the seven groups into which it has been deemed expedient- in view of the system of death registration in vogue-to temporarily classify in the summary the causes of death.

c. The total number of deaths occurring among the British and Foreign community in each month of each year-1886 to 1890 both inclusive-under six disease groups. These groups are the same as in B only 6 and 7 groups are amalgamated.

d. The same as C but for the Chinese Community.

e. The total number of deaths occurring in the Colony-those in the Army and Navy excluded--in each month

for the past five years together with the death rate for the estimated population.

10. The attached diagrams show,-

a. The number of deaths occurring under each of the groups referred to above.

b. The mean temperature for each month.

c. The rain-fall for each month.

11. It will be observed that the number of deaths registered during 1890 is somewhat less than in 1889.

12. As pointed out in last year's report the only really reliable figure in these statistics is the total number of deaths. The death-rate is worked out on an estimated population; such estimate being based on the increases found to have taken place between the censuses of 1872-1876 and 1881, and not in the usual manner, because of the abnormal nature of the population. This estimate will soon be checked by the figures obtained when the census of the present year has been taken.

13. With regard to the registration of the actual causes of death, it seems desirable to repeat here the remarks bearing on this subject which I made in 1886.

"Medical Aid.-The entire want of medical aid is a great sanitary defect in public as well as in private sanitation. "As regards public sanitation, without medical assistance there is no reliable means of ascertaining the amount of disease or nature of the sickness prevailing among the people and the real causes of death are practically unknown. In ordinary "times the want of this knowledge is scarcely observed but in times of much sickness it is keenly felt and should an "extensive epidemic of cholera or other disease occur it will be our greatest want. This was clearly demonstrated last "summer during the prevalence of choleraic complaints. The urgent necessity of the Government providing a medical "service for the native community not only for the Kaulung Peninsula but for the whole Colony is quite clear but it is

very difficult to see how this is to be done. The only possible ways would appear to be;-

"1. A staff of fully qualified English Medical Officers.

"2. A staff of qualified Indian Medical Officers.

"3. A staff of Chinese Medical Practitioners inore or less trained in European medicine. "The expense alone is prohibitive to the employment of a staff of European Medical men. I do not suppose that "the expense of a staff of qualified Indian Medical men would be prohibitive to their employment and it is just possible "that such a staff would fully meet our requirements. There is however one grave objection to the employment of

267

Indians, in the fact that they would not for some years be able to communicate direct with the Chinese people. Be- "sides, I doubt very much if they would ever be able to win the respect and confidence of the Chinese, without which "their sphere of usefulness would be greatly circumscribed. The employment of a staff of respectable Chinese Medical "Practitioners who have received more or less of a training in English medicine is, I think, feasible. I believe a few "such men could be got at once at comparatively small salaries and I am inclined to think they would be found to be "very useful. The men I refer to are those who have undergone a three years' course of training in the Canton Mission- "ary Hospital. No doubt, the knowledge of medicine which these men possess is very limited but it is infinitely better "to no knowledge whatever. As they are the only men who have any knowledge of European medicine combined with "a knowledge of the Chinese language and the habits of the Chinese people it seems to me that the Government cannot "do better than make use of them until such time as better material is available. The only alternative is to grope "along as at present without any real knowledge of the state of the health of the people we govern and without learning "what effect our costly sanitary improvements have on their health. It is quite true, that if these men were employed "there is very considerable risk they would abuse their office and squeeze the people, but the risk is one that must "always be faced and with close supervision squeezing could not take place to any considerable extent. By employing "the staff indicated the Government ought to be able to obtain fairly reliable information regarding the health of the "people and the causes of death."

‧

　　14. Should it now be considered wise to adopt the suggestion made in these remarks to institute a Chinese Medical Service, the students completing their studies at the Alice Memorial Hospital will soon be ready for such a service and with proper supervision could, I think, be made very useful.

HEALTH DISTRICTS.

　　15. During the first months of the year, in addition to the daily routine work, a good deal of time was occupied in obtaining the information which was required by the Committee enquiring into the important question of over-crowding in Victoria. The amount of work done by the Inspectors in connection with this subject is indicated in the tabular statements which accompanied the Committee's report. Each Inspector has completed--except in the rural district-his preliminary survey of every house in his district and from the returns obtained by this survey a register of the condition and sanitary arrangements of each house in the Colony is being compiled. In compiling the register the Inspectors' returns will be checked and I hope by the end of the current year to have the register completed. Of course, this register will require to be constantly amended as changes and improvements are carried out but this-will be no very. difficult matter and I feel sure that in the course of a year or two it will not only show with approximate accuracy the actual sanitary condition of each house in the Colony but also the improvements made thereto by owners of their own motion or at the request of the Board as the case may be. In this sense, it will prove a valuable record of this part of the Board's work in addition to the information it will at any time afford of the sanitary state of the dwellings in the Colony.

　　16. No record has been kept of the actual number of nuisances dealt with in each district during the year but in future this will be done. No prosecutions for nuisances were instituted for the reason that where any occurred demanding immediate attention they have been fairly promptly abated by the authors thereof on their attention being directed thereto and the law dealing with the same explained to them.

　　17. Only 8 cases of infectious disease have been reported during the year and in each case-as far as practicable-the necessary disinfection of the premises, bedding, clothing etc., has been carried out. This question of disinfection is a subject on which I hope soon to submit a special report with a view to arranging for some improvements-which I think are very necessary-in the carrying of it out effectually.

CONTRACTS.

　　It has occurred to me that it would prove of some service if I gave a statement in tabular form showing the number of men employed by each of the Contractors, giving each group of men such a name as will fairly clearly indicate the nature of the work they perform. I have, therefore, attached to the report such a table (C). In this table I have given the approximate number of nightmen employed by Householders because I think it is very desirable that it should be clearly known that these nightmen are not the servants of any of the Contractors. I have also included in the table the approximate quantities of house refuse and nightsoil removed from the city and hill district during the year.

　　Since 1890, the City Scavenging Contractor in carrying out the terms of his contract has removed the whole of the house refuse, street sweepings, etc., collected in his dustboats outside the waters of the Colony. The actual work of removal has been well done and of disposal fairly well done. The Contractor is now carrying out some works for the more efficient performance of the work of disposal which, when completed, will, I feel sure, prove satisfactory.

HONGKONG, 1st February, 1891.

NOTE. There is a slight difference between the death-rate shown in this summary, and that given in the Mortality Statistics issued by the Registrar General for the estimated population of the Colony. The difference arises from the circumstance that the estimated population for the Kau-lung district is given at 2,000 more than the Registrar General's estimate. The reason for adding the 2,000 is given in a report on the sanitary condition of Kau-lung made in the early part of 1885.

If any of the marks required by this Act is in any respect inaccurate, so as to be likely to mis-

lead, the owner of the ship shall incur a penalty not exceeding one hundred pounds."

　　The provisions of the Act of 1890 so far as they concern the issue of Certificates of Approval of the position of load line discs in the case of ships registered in the United Kingdom come into operation at the expiration of six months after the passing of the Act, i.e., on the 9th December 1890; and in the case of ships registered in British Possessions, at the expiration of twelve months after the passing of the Act, i.e., on the 9th June 1891.

Merchant Shipping Act, 1890.

CHAPTER 9.

An Act to amend the Merchant Shipping Acts relating to Load-line,

[9th June 1890.]

BE it 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:

1. The Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, shall, from and after the expiration of six months after the passing of this Act, be construed as if in the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh sections thereof the following sub-section were inserted instead of the sub-sections numbered (2) in those sections respectively:

(2.) The centre of this disc shall be placed at such level below the deck-line marked under the provisions of this Act as may be approved by the Board of Trade, and shall indicate the maximum load-line in salt water to which it shall be lawful to load the ship."

Provided that the position of the disc shall be fixed in accordance with the tables framed by the Load Line Committee appointed before the passing of this Act, subject to such allowance as may be made necessary by any difference between the position of 39 & 40 Vict. c. 80. the deck-line marked under the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, and the position of the line from which freeboard is measured under the said tables, and subject also to such modifications, if any, of the tables and the application thereof as may from time to time be sanctioned by the Board of Trade.

Regulations.

　Provision as to colonial ships.

In sanctioning any such modifications the Board of Trade shall have regard to any representations which may be made to them by any corporation or association for the survey or registry of shipping for the time appointed or approved by the Board of Trade for the purposes of this Act.

2.-(1.) The Board of Trade shall appoint the Committee of Lloyd's Register of British and Foreign Shipping, or, at the option of the owner of the ship, any other corporation or association for the survey or registry of shipping, approved by the Board of Trade, or any officer of the Board of Trade specially selected by the Board for that purpose, to approve and certify on their behalf from time to time the position of any such disc as aforesaid, and any alteration thereof, and may appoint fees to be taken in respect of any such approval or certificate.

(2.) The Board of Trade may make regulations--

(a) determining the lines or marks to be used in connexion with the disc, in order to indicate the maximum load-line under different circumstances and at different seasons, and declaring that the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, are to have effect as if any such line were drawn through the centre of the disc;

(b) as to the mode in which the disc and the lines or marks to be used in connexion therewith are to be marked or affixed on the ship, whether by painting, cutting, or otherwise;

and

(d) requiring the entry of such certificates, and other particulars as to the draught of water and freeboard of the ship, in the official log-book of the ship, or other publication thereof on board the ship, and as to delivering copies of such entries.

All such regulations shall, while in force, have effect as if enacted by this Act. 3. Where the legislature of any British possession by any enactment provides for the fixing, marking, and certifying of load-lines on ships registered in that possession, and it appears to Her Majesty the Queen that the provisions of that enactment are based on the same principles as the provisions of this Act, and are equally effective for ascertaining and determining the maximum load-lines to which such ships can be safely loaded in salt water, and for giving notice of the load-line to persons interested, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by Order in Council, to declare that any load-line fixed and marked and any certificate given in pursuance of that enactment shall, with respect to ships so registered, have the same effect as if it had been fixed, marked, or given in pursuance of this Act.

Sections one and two of this Act shall not apply in the case of a ship registered in a British possession until the expiration of twelve months after the passing of this Act.

Provided that this section shall not apply in the case of ships of any foreign country in which it appears to Her Majesty that corresponding provisions are not extended to British ships.

　　　5. For the purposes of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, as amended by this Definition of Act, the expression "amidships" shall mean the middle of the length of the load "amidships." water-line as measured from the fore side of the stem to the aft side of the stern-post.

The following Letter from the French Consul is published for general information.

By Command,

W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th April, 1891.

CONSULAT DE FRANCE A HONGKONG, VICTORIA, 1st April, 1891.

SIR, By direction of His Excellency the Governor-General of Indo-China, I have the honour to bring to the cognizance of Your Excellency that the French Government have now created at Saigon, under the title of "Institut microbiologique et de vaccination," a scientific establishment the object of which is, besides the study of the infectious diseases of warm climates and experimental researches on cholera, dysentery, beri-beri, leprosy, malarial fever, etc., the production of vaccine and the mainte- nance of a service of vaccination against hydrophobia, small-pox and splenic fever.

The direction of the Institute has been entrusted to Monsieur CALMETTES, M.D., a pupil of Mons. PASTEUR.

This institution being intended for the benefit. not only of the French Colonies, but of all countries in the Far East at large, I trust Your Excellency will allow me to enter into a few particur- lars respecting the three vaccination services now working:--

I.-Vaccination against hydrophobia.

The preventive treatment against hydrophobia will be conducted according to the method practised at the Pasteur Institute in Paris.

ΑΠ

All persons, Europeans or natives, bitten by mad animals in the countries in the Far East, are invited to submit themselves to this treatment which will be gratuitous for all destitute people of whatever nationality.

The period of incubation of hydrophobia being on an average forty days, it will be possible for any person bitten to come to Saigon in time before the first symptoms of hydrophobia present them- selves.

It is expressly requested that persons coming to Saigon to submit to the preventive treatment, would bring full particulars about the symptoms presented by the biting animal, in order to enable the medical staff of the Institution to judge, as far as possible, if the said animal was really rabid.

Moreover, should the animal be killed. it is earnestly desired that its head be cut off and sent, packed in ice, to the laboratory, thus affording the only means of undoubtedly ascertaining the presence of hydrophobia in a suspected animal, viz., experimental inoculations from its brain.

In any case, a detailed report drawn up by a Veterinary Surgeon or a medical man, after a post- mortem examination particularly directed to the condition and the contents of the digestive organs of the animal, will be most useful.

II.--Vaccination against splenic fever.

The Saigon Institute is prepared to provide all Veterinary Surgeons or colonists, French or others, in the Far East, applying for it, with fresh vaccine for the protection of animals against the above named disease. Previously tested tubes, containing enough vaccine to inoculate 50 sheep or 25 cows, will be sent on demand at a price of $1 per tube, exclusive of postage.

III.-Vaccination against small-pox.

This service is more especially intended for the benefit of Indo-China; however medical men of all neighbouring countries may apply to obtain always fresh supply of calf-lymph or of vaccinal pulp dissolved in glycerine or in vaseline and their orders will receive the promptest attention.

Every week two heifers will be inoculated to insure a continuous supply of lymph.

The price, exclusive of postage, has been fixed at $1 for two tubes of lymph or pulp, sufficient

to vaccinate at least 50 persons.

Should Your Excellency deem it expedient, I beg to request that information be kindly given to whom it may concern of the opening of this scientific and humane institution.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

of Your Excellency the most obedient,

humble Servant,

His Excellency

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 185.

　　The following Finding of the Marine Court into the loss of the British steamer Nanzing, Official No. 60,462, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th April, 1891.

FINDING.

W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.

　　We find that the Nanzing was a British vessel schooner rigged of 807 tons registered tonnage, Official No. 60,462 belonging to the Port of Shanghai.

　　It appears from the evidence given before this Court that she sailed from Manila on the 17th March last bound for Hongkong with a general cargo and 150 persons on board all told. To noon on the 19th the Nanzing had experienced an Easterly set of 32 miles.

　　On the morning of the 20th the land was seen ahead which being recognized (as was supposed) to be Tamkan Island, showed a Westerly set must have been experienced.

The ship struck about 5 A.M. and was found to be embayed on the south side Ye Chau Island and subsequently became a total loss.

The Court finds that the Master JOSEPH HOGG, appears to have navigated his vessel in a seaman- like and proper manner, but when the land was observed on the morning of the 20th instant showing thereby that the vessel was not in the position assigned her by the log committed an error of judgment in not standing off the land at once, and in again approaching it before daylight enabled him to verify his position. It being his 13th or 14th voyage to and fro, the error appears to have been made from over-confidence believing that the land seen was the East extremity of Tamkan, the point steered for. The Court is of opinion that when the casualty had occurred, the measures adopted were proper and seamanlike and the discipline observed in getting out the boats and landing the passengers worthy of praise.

The certificates of the Master and Officers are therefore returned to them. Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 9th day of April, 1891.

The Honourable P. RYRIE gave notice that at the next meeting of Council he would ask the following questions:-

1. To ask the President, if, when he asked me at the meeting of Council on the 25th March last, if the Protest I then laid on the table was a perfectly respectful protest, he meant to imply that I was likely to present or the Un-official Members to concur in a protest that was not perfectly respectful.

318

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MAY, 1891.

2. To ask the Honourable the Colonial Treasurer, if the arrears of the Military Contribution for the year 1890, payment of which was authorized by this Council on the 19th March last, has been paid, and if paid on what date, or dates, it, or any portion of it, was paid, and if so upon what authority.

Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD asked the following questions:--

3. How is it that there has been no meeting of the Public Works Committee appointed in October

last?

6. What are the duties of the Treasury Department and the Treasurer, under the new organization

of that department?

7. Can His Excellency the Governor inform the Council whether the Audit System recently introduced in Hongkong is in force in Singapore, Ceylon, or any other Crown Colony, and if not for what special reasons has it been introduced in this Colony?

8. Will the Government lay on the table a statement showing the present position of the Light- house Works on Gap Rock, the amounts actually expended to the 31st March last, and the sums then due although not actually paid, and an estimate of the monies still required to complete the work?

9. Will the Government lay on the table a statement showing the actual cost to date of the S.S. "Fame"; the monthly expenditure for wages and running expenses, interest, &c.; the number of trips she has made to the Gap Rock, and the cost per trip to and from the Gap Rock?

10. Have the plans for the construction of the sea-wall of the Praya Reclamation as designed by the late Surveyor General and approved by Sir John Coode been altered in any respect since the commencement of the work?

￥

11. If they have been altered in any respect, what is the nature of the alteration? What addi- tional expense (if any) does it entail beyond the sum mentioned in the Government Gazette of the 6th July, 1889?

12. With reference to Government Notification No. 139 of the 28th March, 1891, from which it appears that there are various cases of default in the performance of Covenants entered into on the purchase of Crown Lands, will Government lay on the table a detailed list of the Lands referred to in that Notification, specifying as regards each lot,-the date of sale, the name of the purchaser, the name of the successive Assignees and of the present tenant, the area, the premium, the annual Crown rent, and the nature of the covenants unperformed.

The Acting Colonial Secretary replied.

The Acting Colonial Secretary moved that the Honourable Ho KAI be appointed a Member of the Public Works Committee in room of the Honourable C. P. CHATER absent on leave.

The Attorney General seconded.

Question-put and agreed to.

Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD moved the following resolution :--

That in consequence of the enhanced Military Contribution still demanded by the Imperial Govern- ment, this Colony is not in a position to pay the increased Salaries recently recommended by the Un-official Members and that the Secretary of State be requested by telegram to withhold

his sanction.

The Honourable P. RYRIE seconded.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MAY, 1891.

The Honourable J. J. KESWICK moved as an amendment :-

319

That in consequence of the increase to official salaries being greatly in excess of what was con- templated by the Committee specially appointed to consider the subject, of the ever growing Government Establishments to which the increase would apply; and in view of the fact that the declining Revenues of this Colony will not be equal to so great a strain upon them for the enormous public works in progress, besides the other impending and urgent necessities of the Colony, and of the increased Military contribution, it is desirable that the Secretary of State be asked by telegraph to withhold his sanctim to the proposed increase until the amount of it be reconsidered.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MAY, 1891.

4. Compared with 1889, there has been a general increase of British tonnage amounting to 494,050 tons and an increase of Foreign tonnage of 365,701 tons. A comparison also with the average of the last three years shows an increase in 1890 cf 136 British ships representing 397,499 tons, and of vessels under Foreign flags an increase of 397 ships and 224,842 tons.

5. The general trade as represented by the amount of shipping from and to the various countries does not show on the whole much alteration, though there is a general increase in British bottoms most marked with regard to Cochin-China, Japan, The Philippines and Siam. In the case of Foreign vessels, the increase is still greater with Cochin-China and Siam. There is also a considerable revival of the Junk trade.

6. With Great Britain and the Continent of Europe, the amount of trade does not differ materially from 1889, being indeed nearly stationary. There is a slight increase in arrivals under the British flag and a decrease under Foreign flags.

JUNKS.

7. As shown in the foregoing tables, the Junk trade for 1890 amounted to 3.904,552 tons being an increase over the previous year of 1,968 Junks and 203,851 tons. The trade with Macao shows a falling off from 1889, but with this exception, the Foreign Junk trade has increased. The chief increase in Junks, however, is in the Local trade (by which is to be understood, the trade between places within the Waters of the Colony) in which the Returns show that it amounts

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‧ 850 vessels and 49,103 tons. Compared also with the average of the past three years, the Junk trade of 1890 still shows an increase of 11,758 tons in the Foreign trade and 44,054 tons in the Local trade.

8. The subject of the interference of Chinese Revenue Cruizers with the Junk trade of the Colony was brought somewhat prominently forward during the past year, and more than one report was made from the Out-stations of visits paid by these Cruizers or their boats to the Junk Anchorages on the south side of the Island, also of Junks having been stopped and boarded. In one case from the evidence of the Junk people and the Officer-in-Charge of the Station, it would seem that the interference took place in Stanley Bay, but in others, the exact positions of the vessels being subject to the conflicting evidence of the interested parties, the question of within or outside of British Waters was not provable. During the greater part of the year, a Chinese Cruizer has been anchored off Lamma Island.

遍

9. In September, two armed Junks were found anchored in a small bay on the south side, just out of sight of Aberdeen; they stated that they were on the look-out for smugglers. Acting under my orders, the Officer-in-Charge at Aberdeen seized them and I had them towed round to Victoria where after taking from them certain flags and other articles to be used for the purpose of future identification, they were released and the matter reported.

10. I should be glad to see a regular and systematic patrol of the south coast by armed Govern- ment vessels established.

11. 3,989 steamers, 125 sailing vessels and 28,018 Junks arrived during the year, giving an average of 88 vessels daily arriving in the Waters of the Colony. Of the steamers 68 per cent. were British, and of these, 54 per cent. were "Ocean going," of the Foreigners, 9 per cent. were river craft.

STEAM-LAUNCHES.

12. On the 31st December, there were 110 Steam-launches in the Harbour, of these, 47 were licensed for the conveyance of passengers, 53 were privately owned, 10 were the property of the Colonial Government. There were in addition 5 launches, the property of the War Department.

EMIGRATION.

　　　13. There has been a further falling off in the number of Chinese leaving the Colony for Ports other than those in China and Japan.

　Chinese Exclusion Acts in America, Australia and the Sandwich Islands, reduced wages, and inability to procure employment in the Straits Settlements, and probably the want of confidence alluded to in my last Report, are the principal causes of the falling off.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MAY, 1891.

323

14. Direct emigration to Deli is now established and as well understood as to any other port and there has been no repetition of the outbreaks which occurred on board these vessels in 1889.

REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.

15. During the year, 7 vessels of 4,071 tons were registered under the provisions of The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, and 8 Certificates of Registry were cancelled. Return No. XVIII shows the remainder of the work done in this branch.

MARINE MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

16. 81 cases were heard in this Court during the year. Refusal of duty (13), and Assault (11) were the principal offences in the case of ships, and Leaving without Clearance (15), and Breach of Harbour Regulations-" Anchoring in prohibited places" in the case of Junks.

19. The following Courts having been held during the year :--

1. On the 30th May, 1890. Inquiry as to the stranding of the British Steamship Felbridge,

Official No. 95,455 of London, on the North Shoal, Paracel Group, on the morning of the 3rd: May. The Master's (JOHN RUTHEN) Certificate of Competency was suspended for three months. The time of suspension was shortened by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government by a few days, the Certificate being returned on 13th August, 1890.

324.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MAY, 1891.

2. On the 5th November, 1890. Inquiry as to the loss of the British Yacht Nyanza, Official No. 56,809 of Glasgow, on the reef, on the North side of the Island of Ponape, Caroline Group, on the morning of the 29th July. The Master's (JOHN CARRINGTON) Certificate of Competency was returned to him.

3. On the 8th December, 1890. Inquiry as to the stranding of the British Steamship Pembrokeshire, Official No. 85,171 of London, on the Shoal off the Island of Wung Cum near Macao, on the night of the 15th November. The Master's (JAMES DANCASTER) Certificate of Competency was suspended for six months.

SEAMEN.

　　　20. 10,830 seamen were shipped and 11,022 discharged at the Shipping Office and on board ships during the year, the discrepancy is owing to the number of seamen shipped at the various Consulates of which we have no record.

　　　21. 314 distressed seamen were received during the year. Of these, 73 were sent to the United Kingdom, 37 elsewhere, and 192 obtained employment. On the 31st December, 1890, 10 were in the Government Civil Hospital and 2 in the Lunatic Asylum. $4,890.99 were expended by the Board of Trade in the relief of these men, and $42.69 by this Colony. The Colony also paid $542.54 for the relief at Honolulu of the shipwrecked crew of the Barque Wandering Minstrel.

MARINE SURVEYOR'S SUB-DEPARTMENT.

　　　22. During the past year the Colony has lost the valuable services of Mr. BREWER, Marine Surveyor and Mr. WAGNER, Assistant Marine Surveyor. Mr. BREWER went Home in very bad health in August, 1888, and died in England in December, 1889; and a few months later Mr. WAGNER, who had been performing the duties of Marine Surveyor, died in Hongkong. Previous to the arrival from England of the Officers there appointed to fill the vacancies, the duties were performed first by Mr. ANI REW JOHNSTON, and on his leaving for England, by Mr. JOHN W. KINGHORN. In September, the Officers appointed from England arrived: Mr. GEORGE PEEBLES and Mr. ROBERT DIXON. Return No. XXIII shows the work performed in this branch of the Harbour Department.

LIGHTHOUSES.

　　　23. The three Lighthouse Stations have been maintained as usual during the year. The Light- vessel on Kellett's Bank was removed on 1st June, the result of an examination of the bank showing that no silt had taken place over the stone-laden junks sunk as an experiment, and that the Junks had broken up and disappeared in the soft deposit at the bottom.

　　　24. The third Light-kceper's services were dispensed with on account of misconduct, the post is now filled by an Officer on probation. An increased rate of pay having been sanctioned for the Chinese Assistant Light-keepers, I hope to be able for the future to secure a better class of men with increased efficiency to the service.

BOKHARA ROCK.

25. The suggested operations at the Bokhara Rock proving too costly were abandoned, and the danger is still marked with a buoy. It was found necessary during the year to renew the moorings, accordingly two anchors and 60 fathoms of chain were purchased and the moorings relaid at a total cost of $945.87.

GOVERNMENT GUNPOWDER DEPOT.

27. The condition of the Magazine is much improved, extensive repairs have been carried out making good ravages of white-ants, &c., but the tiled roof requires to be replaced.

A new Wharf is being built and is nearly completed.

The subject of excluding the public from the precints of the Magazine is one which, I submit, should receive consideration. At present, this is the only portion of Stone Cutters' Island where the public can land without special "Permit" and when it is considered with what care such like premises are generally guarded, the omission in this case seems to call for remark.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS (OPIUM). OFFICE.

28. The Return shows that during the year the amount of Opium reported was as follows:

...62,463 45 chests.

Imported, Exported,

Through cargo reported but not landed,

58,023 12

16,004

20,444 Permits were issued from this Office being an increase of 1,117 over last year, this is chiefly attributable to removers being now required to state the hour of removal, so that if two chests are to be removed at different hours, two Permits are now required.

A daily Memo. of Export Permits was during the year sent to the Kowloon Customs Office. By this means, we are able to verify that every chest for which an Export Permit is issued has really been exported.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable FRANCIS FLEMING, C.M.G.,

Colonial Secretary,

&c.,

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

　　The following Report on the operations of the Public Works for the year 1890, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 30th ultimo, is published for general information.

By Command,

W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 2nd May, 1891.

No. 117.

SURVEYOR GENERAL'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 28th February, 1891.

　　SIR, I have the honour to forward for the information of His Excellency the Governor the following Report on the operations of the Public Work's Department during the year 1890. This Report is divided under the following heads:-

I. Praya Reclamation.

II. Public Works Extraordinary.

III. Public Works Recurrent.

IV. Land Branch.

- V. Squatters.

VI. Inspection of Buildings.

VII. Staff.

I. PRAYA RECLAMATION.

2. There are four separate Reclamations now in progress, viz. :-

(a.) Reclamation included in Ordinance 16 of 1889,

(b.) Reclamation in front of Wharf and Godown Co.'s Marine Lots

Nos. 98 to 105, West Point,..........

(c.) Reclamation in front of Sailors' Home,

Making a continuous length of

(d.) Reclamation in front of Mr. CHATER'S Marine Lots Nos. 240 to

246, Kennedytown,

equal to 2 miles.

3. Contracts were let in the spring for the formation of the rubble mound which forms the base of the Harbour wall for Section No. 2 and a portion of Section No. 7, and subsequently for Section No. 3. The work contracted for has an aggregate length of 3,001 feet. The work was actually begun in February last, a memorial stone to commemorate the inauguration of the new Praya having been laid by his Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught on 2nd April last. On 31st December the rubble mounds of Sections Nos. 2 and 7 were well advanced, about 206,000 cubic yards of stone having been deposited.

4. It having been decided to substitute blocks of Portland cement concrete for the granite foot- ing courses of the Praya wall, it became necessary to order the plant required for lifting, transporting and setting these blocks. Accordingly an 8-ton travelling crane, with the necessary rails and other appliances, and a supply of cement, were requisitioned from England through the Crown Agents, and a steam Tug of twenty-seven horse power, two block barges, each capable of carrying sixty-five tons, and a floating pontoon 8-ton erane have been contracted for locally with the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company. The steam Tug and block barges are nearly completed, and it is anticipated that As the blocks both the floating and land crane will be complete and ready for work in May next. will require about 3 months to set prior to being placed in the work, arrangements will shortly be made to commence the fabrication of the concrete blocks; and thus provide a sufficient stock to allow the work to be pushed on rapidly.

(b.) RECLAMATION IN FRONT OF WHARF AND GODOWN COMPANY'S PROPERTY.

5. The progress made with this reclamation has not been so great as might reasonably have been expected owing to the delay in putting in the granite footings. Now however, that these are laid, and the work is above low-water level there is nothing to prevent this reclamation being carried on regularly and it should be completed in about nine months.

　　　6. The same remark applies to this reclamation. Much time was lost in putting in the founda- tion courses but now that these are completed this reclamation which lies to the westward of that belonging to the Wharf and Godown Company should be completed at about the same time.

(d.) RECLAMATION IN FRONT OF MR. CHATER'S MARINE LOTS Nos. 240 to 246, Kennedytown.

　　　7. This work has progressed satisfactorily, and but little remains to be done to this extensive reclamation which will be completed early in the spring. The total area of land reclaimed, including that occupied by public wharves and roads, is about 8:55 acres.

II.-PUBLIC WORKS EXTRAORDINARY.

CENTRAL MARKET.

　　　8. A contract for the foundations and retaining walls was entered into with Mr. TSANG KENG on 23rd May last, and the work was forthwith commenced. Fairly good progress has been made. It has been found necessary to pile the whole of the trenches on the north, or Praya side. Up to 31st December 385 hardwood piles had been driven and there remained to drive about 200. A requisi- tion for the columns, floor girders and beams was forwarded to the Crown Agents in June last. The detailed drawings of the superstructure are nearly completed, and tenders will shortly be called for, so that the Contractor may be in a position to commence operations early in the spring immediately after the completion of the foundations.

GAP ROCK LIGHTHOUSE.

　　　9. Althoug all preparations had been previously made, it was only found practicable to effect a permanent landing, and establish a detachment of workmen on the Rock, on 21st March last. From that time to the present steady progress has been made. Two derricks were fixed-one on the eastern, and another on the western side of the rock, which have greatly facilitated operations, and allow landing to be effected when otherwise it would be altogether impracticable. The first operations undertaken were to form convenient approaches from the landing places to the summit of the rock, and to provide suitable quarters for the workmen employed. Substantial brick coolie quarters have been erected capable of lodging 100 men, while on the upper floor there is a suitable apartment for one European Foreman. A brick water tank capable of containing 5,600 gallons has been constructed closely adjoining the coolie quarters. The preparation of the site for the lighthouse was then proceeded with, in which operation it was found necessary to remove by blasting about 1,000 tons of hard metamorphic rock. The foundation stone of the Tower was laid by the Officer Administering the Government on 1st September last, and the erection of the Tower and Light-keepers' quarters has since progressed steadily. The basement floor which contains a permanent water tank to hold 12,000 gallons has been completed, and on 31st December the masonry had reached the level of 4 feet above the Tower platform. The number of workmen employed on the rock has varied from 50 to 95. Notwithstanding the heat and glare from the bare surface of the rock, the health of all employed has been exceptionally good, which may be in part attributed to the care taken to provide proper lodgings, and to maintain them in good sanitary condition, as also to ensure a regular supply of food and fresh water. No serious interruption has occurred to the progress of the work except during the gale of 16th October last, when an exception- ally heavy sea struck the rock and recoiled on to the water tank situated 68 feet above sea-level. The weight of the wave broke the cover of the tank, and admitted a certain quantity of salt water. On this news reaching me, immediate steps were taken to send down a supply of fresh water. During the same gale a considerable quantity of dressed granite, bricks, and sand, were washed off the rock, and the derrick on its eastern face was carried away. With this exception the work has proceeded regularly, and without accident, or other unusual incident. The progress made reflects much credit on Mr. J. R. MUDIE, the Executive Engineer in charge, and Mr. DONALD FRASER, Foreman, who has resided continuously on the rock since April last.

TRAINING ALBANY NULLAH AND BRANCHES AND PREPARATION OF KENNEDY ROAD SITES.

　　　　10. A contract for this work was entered into on 4th October last and the work has since been pushed rapidly forward. The masonry of the Channel for the Albany Nullah is nearly completed as far as the Tramway Station, the bridge on the Kennedy Road is in progress, and the small storm channel west of the Tramway is well advanced. I am urging the Contractor to push on with this. important work, with a view to its completion if possible before the rainy season begins.

IMPROVEMENTS RECREATION GROUND-HAPPY VALLEY.

11. A contract for filling in the round pond or lake was entered into on 11th July last, and although considerable difficulties have been encountered in obtaining the large quantity (64,000 cubic yards) of material required to fill in this pond, without interfering unduly with the old Chinese ceme- tery, and private property, rapid progress has been made and the work is approaching completion. About 15,130 square yards of the area within the Race Course have been returfed, but it need hardly be said that the unusually protracted drought has severely tried both the old and new turf. It is proposed to push on as rapidly as possible with the diversion of the canal, and other work remaining to complete these improvements, which when carried out will very nearly double the area available for purposes of recreation.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MAY, 1891.

CATTLE, SHEEP AND PIG DEPOTS AND SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.

351

　　　12. The area required for the extension of the Cattle Sheds is nearly prepared, but the work has been greatly delayed owing to the refractory nature of the trap rock which it has been necessary to

blast.

13. A contract for the preparation of the site of the Slaughter-house and Sheep and Pig Depots, including extensive excavations and retaining walls, was entered into on 4th October last and the work is being pushed forward. Plans are prepared for the superstructure, and tenders will be called for so that the work may be put in hand as soon as the preparation of the site is sufficiently advanced.

14. Plans have also been prepared of a small Slaughter-house for the Kowloon Peninsula, and a site has been selected in Hung Hom Bay, east of the Rifle Range. It is proposed to commence the work forthwith, immediately a contract has been entered into.

PUBLIC LAUNDRIES.

15. On the recommendation of a Committee of the Sanitary Board a site for the first experimental block of Public Laundries has been approved near the junction of the Kennedy and Wanchai Gap Roads. The working drawings have been prepared, and the buildings will be commenced as soon as the site is cleared.

PUBLIC LATRINES.

16. Two public latrines are in course of erection in Victoria, two have been fixed at Yaumati and two are now being erected at Hung Hom.

CIVIL HOSPITAL STAFF QUArters.

17. A contract for this extensive block of buildings was entered into in November, 1889, and the masonry is now approaching completion. The progress made has not been altogether satisfactory, some delay having arisen in obtaining the fine dressed granite ashlar facings. I have not failed to urge the Contractor to complete these buildings as early as possible.

CIVIL HOSPITAL-COOLIE QUARTERS.

18. The house for the accommodation of the numerous Chinese servants attached to the Hospital was contracted for in January, 1890. This building is well advanced and should be completed early in the spring.

LUNATIC ASYLUM FOR CHINESE.

19. A contract was made for these buildings on 25th April last. Good progress has been made, they are now roofed in and they should be completed ready for occupation early in the summer.

POLICE STATION--ABERDEEN.

20. A contract was entered into and these buildings were commenced on 28th October last. Fair progress has since been made.

POLICE STATION-QUARRY BAY.

21. A site having been selected in consultation with the Captain Superintendent of Police on the rising ground forming the western boundary of Quarry Bay, the working drawings were prepared, the contract let and the work was commenced on 19th November last.

DISTRICT SCHOOL-SAIYINGPUN.

22. A convenient site for this school house which is to serve for the western district of Victoria, having been selected by the Inspector of Schools, a contract was entered into and the work was com- menced on 17th September last. The foundations have been completed and the walling is progressing satisfactorily.

NEW WING TO GOVERNMENT House.

23. The new wing which includes a ball room 60 feet by 40 feet, supper, card and billiard rooms and other accessories is situated at the eastern end of Governinent House. The contract is dated 15th April last. The work has been pushed on with much energy, and but little remains to be done to complete the work.

QUARTERS FOR SUPERINTENDENT, BOTANICAL DEPARTMENT.

　　24. Working drawings have been prepared and tenders obtained, and it is proposed to commence these buildings forthwith.

NEW PIER KOWLOON POINT.

　　25. During the early part of the year the old pier was removed and a new and improved pier of hardwood was constructed to take its place.

352

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MAY, 1891.

NEW PIER FOR POWDER MAGAZINE-STONE CUTTERS' ISLAND.

　　　26. The old pier which was in the last stage of decay has been removed and the construction of a new timber pier of hardwood 176 feet long and 10 feet wide was commenced on 25th November last.

REPAIRS TO DAMAGE DONE BY THE GREAT STORM OF 29TH AND 30TH MAY, 1889.

　　　27. These repairs were finally completed in August last at a cost of $106,899; my estimate sent in shortly after the storm occurred having amounted to $112,783.

III-PUBLIC WORKS RECURRENT.

REPAIRS TO GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.

　　　28. Besides ordinary repairs to the Government buildings generally, Government House has been thoroughly overhauled and repainted externally and internally. The Government Offices, the Supreme Court, the Central Police Station, and the Civil Hospital have also been painted externally. As the flat roof of the great central hall of the Victoria College leaked badly, it was found necessary to remove the lead covering and relay it. This has been done with satisfactory results. The Light- houses have been thoroughly repaired and the landings and approaches at Green Island and Capc D'Aguilar have been greatly improved.

REPAIRS TO ROADS.

　　　29. The roads within the City have been maintained in good condition except in places where the extensive operations of the Water and Drainage Department have rendered it necessary to break up the surface. As almost every street in the City will in the immediate future have to be opened up twice, once for water, and once for drains, it is evident that for some time to come the maintenance of a fairly good surface must prove a work of no small difficulty.

　　　30. Of the district roads outside the City, the carriage road from West Point to Aberdeen has been metalled throughout. All the roads on Hongkong Island have been maintained in good con- dition, with the exception of the bridle road from Aberdeen vid Stanley to Shaukiwan, and the pathway from Shaukiwan to Cape D'Aguilar. I have recently gone over the road from Aberdeen to Stanley and thence to Shaukiwan with a view to its repair. This road about 12 miles in length which was originally well laid out has been neglected for many years. The Police Inspector at Stanley told me that the portion from thence to Aberdeen had not been repaired since 1874. The traffic on this road is at present very small, but as it may be expected to increase in future, I hope to be able to arrange shortly to put it into an efficient state of repair. With regard to the track from Shaukiwan to Cape D'Aguilar, as the communication with the Lighthouse is carried on by water, and this part of the Island is almost uninhabited, any considerable outlay on this track would, I think, under present circumstances be hardly justifiable.

31. The roads and streets in the Kowloon Peninsula have been greatly improved and are now in good repair throughout. A new road called Chater Road is being formed by heavy cutting at the back of the Tsimshatsui Police Station. This will materially shorten the approach to the steam ferry from the eastern side of Kowloon. The road from Yaumati and Tsimshatsui to Hung Hom which was previously only a track across the sands, almost impracticable after heavy rain, has been formed along the shore of Hung Hom Bay for a distance of about a mile-thus bringing the thriving industrial village of Hung Hom into direct communication with the western part of the Peninsula than and the Kowloon ferry. No sooner was the new road sufficiently advanced for the purpose public jinrickshas, which had hitherto not existed in Kowloon, were introduced, and are now plying regularly for hire.

IV. LAND SURVEY BRANCH.

www.j

　　　32. Mr. MALSCH having returned from leave on 14th December, 1889, was placed in charge of this branch of the Department with Mr. PROSSER, as Assistant Land Surveyor.

　　　33. There has been very little demand for land during the year owing doubtless to the reaction from the over-speculation of 1888-89.

34. During the year lease plans have been prepared for one Marine Lot and 22 Inland Lots Victoria, 4 Rural Building Lots, 32 Inland Lots Kowloon, 1 Marine and 2 Inland Lots Quarry Bay, 3 Inland Lots Aberdeen, making a total of 64 lease plans prepared. Besides this special surveys have been made of the village of Wong-nei-chong for the purposes of the Land Commission and much as been done to fill in the blanks on the map of Victoria by a survey of the lots above the Robinson and Bonham Road levels.

　　　35. The want of a complete survey of the Colony is one of our greatest needs, and it is greatly to be desired that the new survey which has been sanctioned by Government may be commenced forthwith and pushed on as rapidly as practicable.

V.-SQUATTERS.

36. The issue of squatters' licences devolves on the Surveyor General. During the year 2,966 licences have been issued the fees on which amount to $9,801. I have on various occasions called attention to the unsatisfactory state of the so-called "Squatters" question and a "Squatters Commis-

sion has been appointed to investigate titles to land and grant leases where a good claim can be established. The term

The term "Squatter" is somewhat loosely applied and is frequently used as including all the Chinese inhabitants of the villages who do not hold land under Crown lease. Now a con- siderable proportion of the inhabitants in the older villages are entered on the "Rent Roll" thus showing that the holdings of which they are in possession were held by them or their predecessors at the time of the British occupation. These people cannot therefore be called "Squatters" in any true sense of the word. After those entered on the Rent Roll come persons holding land under squatters' licence. The squatters' licence is nothing more or less than an annual tenancy with power of removal on a month's notice. It is in my opinion desirable that an inquiry should be made as to what extent it is desirable to continue the system of squatters' licence and whether in certain cases a more certain tenure with security for improvements might not be granted with advantage.

VI.-INSPECTION OF BUILDINGS.

37. The following is a list of the number of buildings for which plans have been deposited and which have been completed during the year 1890:---

Chinese Houses,

During the

year 1,165 notices and permits have been issued through the Inspector of Buildings.

VII. STAFF.

　　38. At the commencement of the year the water and drainage works were detached from the Surveyor General and converted into a separate department. Mr. COOPER, however, continued to assist in the work of the Surveyor General's Office until the arrival of Mr. H. P. TOOKER, Executive Engineer, in April last. Mr. W. CHATHAM, Executive Engineer, arrived on 22nd May, and Mr. L. GIBBS, Assistant Engineer, and Mr. C. H. GALE, Chief Draughtsman, on 10th November. These reinforcements have enabled me to commence several of the new works referred to in the earlier portion of this Report, and to prepare for the early commencement of others. I beg to record my satisfaction with the manner in which both the old and new Members. of the Staff generally have performed their duties.

39. The general health of the Officials of the Department has been good until the latter part of the year when an unusual amount of sickness occurred which has somewhat retarded the operations of the Department.

　　40. I have deemed it desirable to have returns prepared showing the number of men employed weekly on Government works. Much difficulty was at first experienced in obtaining these returns with any degree of accuracy, as it was not the practice of the Department to keep them in the past. The numbers have gradually increased during the year until during the months of November and December they varied from 3,000 to 3,300. It would appear that latterly this Department has been the largest employer of labour in the Colony. These returns do not include the men employed pre- paring stone in the quarries nor those on water and drainage works. If to these were added natives working on the fortifications under the Royal Engineers, in the Naval Yard, and for other Govern- ment departments, it would be seen that a very considerable proportion of the native labour of the Colony is dependent on Government work.

41. I

ELECTRIC LIght.

　　　　may add that the Electric Light Company have during the year constructed their works at Wanchai and 50 Arc Lamps each of 2,000 candle power have been installed in the central portion of the City. They were first lighted on 1st December and will shortly be supplemented by 25 additional lamps, making a total of 75, which will suffice to light the main streets in the central and eastern portion of Victoria.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 2nd May, 1891.

W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 2nd May, 1891.

　　SIR,-As there appears to exist a considerable amount of misapprehension as to the increases proposed to be made to the salaries of Civil Servants, I append a table which was drawn up on the completion of the Estimates for this year.

The so-called increase of 35° is arrived at in this manner.

　　The salaries of the principal Officers and Senior Clerks were fixed in sterling by Ordinance No. 13 of 1860.

　　By a Proclamation dating as far back as 1845 the rate at which sterling was to be paid was fixed at 4/2. (Incidentally I may mention that during all this period the market value of the dollar was generally 4/6 and over.)

　　Now taking as an example a salary in the above list fixed at ￡800, this at 4/2 is equal to $3,840. At the time that the recommendation for the general increase of salaries was made the value of the dollar was about 3/1. ￡800 at 3/1 is equal to $5,189. Thirty-five per cent. on $3,840 is $1,344. The two added together amount to $5 a year less than the sterling pay at the rate of exchange of the day.

It is also to be observed that several modifications and restrictions have been made, the result of which is that few Officers obtain the full value of the proposed increment. A difference based probably on the expense of passages to and from England is made between Officers who come from there, and Officers in the service who are of local habitation-the latter only receive 20% increase, and have to pay 4% to a Widows and Orphans Fund.

　　Another important element is that the increase is based on salaries as they existed in 1875-and any increases since then have to be taken into account to reduce the final balance.

　　In conclusion, what the Civil Service practically obtains is what has been granted to the sister services: Navy, Army and Consular, viz., that their salaries shall be paid at approximate rate of exchange for the day instead of at the arbitrary rate of 4/2.

I have the honour to be,

His Excellency

THE GOVERNOR.

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

W. M. DEANE,

Acting Colonial Secretary-

Minute by the Governor.

COLONIAL SECRETARY,

　　　The first reading may be that observed on any day not more than ten days before or after the calendar date of the commencement of the quarter, or in the case of a newly fixed meter, the first reading of the meter.

　　　The second reading may be that taken on any day not more than ten days earlier or later than the calendar termination of the quarters, or if the meter is removed or the supply closed during the quarter then the last reading shall be taken; and the difference between the two readings shall be taken as the quarter's water consumption. If two or more meters have been in use during the quarter then the quarters consumption shall be the sum of the quantities indicated by the meters.

Provided always that the reading used as the last reading of any quarter shall be used as the first reading of the ensuing quarter.

　　　29. If a meter is found to be out of order; or if it be removed for repair or alteration, the fact will be noted on the memorandum, mentioned in section 26. Qn fixing a new meter or refixing the old meter a second memorandum will be handed to the occupier of the tenement. The consumption for the time that the meter was out of order or for the time that the service was without a meter will be calculated according to the average daily rate of consumption that obtained during the period between any two successive readings, whilst the meter was in good order, immediately preceding the removal of the meter.

　　　30. If the consumer doubts the accuracy of the meter, which measures the water supplied to the tenement owned or occupied by him; then the meter will, on demand, be tested by the Water Autho- rity. The consumer, or any person appointed by him, may be present when the meter is tested. The results of the test will be binding, both on the Water Authority and on the consumer; and the quantity of water indicated by the meter, from the first reading of the quarter, as defined in section 27, shall be corrected according to the results of the test.

　　　If the meter be found to indicate correctly or if it be found to indicate too little, then a fee of $10 shall be paid for testing.

If the meter be found to indicate too much then no fee shall be paid for testing.

31. Meters will be maintained by the Water Authority and all repairs except those caused wil- fully or negligently will be made by and at the cost of the Water Authority.

32. The value of the amount of water consumed during the quarter, as ascertained in accordance with sections 26, 27, 28, will be calculated at the rate of twenty cents per thousand gallons. From the sum thus obtained a deduction will be made, equal to 3 per cent, on the annual valuation of the tenement, as defined under the Rating Ordinance, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Govern- ment Treasury. Each quarter's account shall be final, and no surplus shall be carried forward from one quarter to the next.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　1890; ditional Military Contribution for and in respect of the year

And Whereas no portion of the monies voted was disbursed during the year ending the 31st December last;

And Whereas for the payment out of such monies or any portion thereof after the said 31st day of December a Vote or Revote by this Council was requisite and His Excellency the Governor had no authority, except perhaps, in a case of extreme necessity to issue his warrant for, or in any way authorise such payment without such Revote;

And Whereas at the meeting of Council held on the 30th day of April last His Excel- lency the Governor, Sir GEORGE WILLIAM DES Vaux, in his place in Council, stated in reply. to a question that he had on the 21st February last on his own responsibility and without the authority of this Council by his Warrant, directed payment out of the Colonial Treasury of this said sum of Twenty thousand Pounds Sterling, additional Military Contribution in

　　　　　　1890; respect of the year

And Whereas it has not been shown to this Council that any adequate or any urgent necessity existed for the payment of the said monies on that date without the authority of this Council, and no sufficient reason has been assigned or explanation given for not calling together this Council and obtaining a Revote of the Money ;-

Now therefore, we the undersigned Unofficial Members of Council, in our places in Council, as the Representatives of the public interest and as the lawfully constituted Guar- dians of the public purse, and for the preservation of the rights of this Honourable Council, solemnly protest against the action of His Excellency the Governor in issuing his warrant, without the authority of this Council, for the payment of the said sum of Twenty thousand Pounds Sterling, additional Military Contribution and against the payment of the said monies.

We have further most earnestly to protest against the action of His Excellency the Governor in concealing from this Council until its meeting on the 30th April last, and until a question had been put on the subject, the fact that this money had been paid, on his autho- rity, on the 21st of February last; in laying on the Council table, on the 25th February last, a Minute recommending the Revote of the Council, of this additional Military Contribution for 1890, the Minute being silent as to the payment of the money; in permitting this Council to discuss, in Finance Committee on the 25th February, and in full Council on the 5th and 19th March in his own presence, the question whether this money should or should not be revoted, the Council being deliberately left in ignorance of the fact that the money had already, on the 21st February, been paid out of the Colonial Treasury, and that it was beyond recall.

We pray that this our Protest may be recorded on the Minutes of this Council and may be forwarded to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies.

The following Report of the Director of the Observatory, for the year 1890, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 5th instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 6th June, 1891.

W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY, 9th May, 1891.

SIR,-My sixth volume of observations was published last month, and I have the honour to submit herewith my seventh volume in manuscript as ordered by His Excellency the Governor. It contains the observations made in 1890.

2. Early last year His Excellency appointed a Commission to enquire into the working of this Observatory. The Commissioners held several meetings, visited the Observatory at my request, and then submitted a report.

3. They strongly recommended a much larger annual expenditure and stated that "the increased staff that has been found to be essential would involve a greater outlay, and the annual cost cannot be estimated at under thirteen thousand dollars a year; or nearly twice the sum now spent." They also stated that "to render the working of the Observatory properly effective, there should be three European Assistants at least, one of whom should have sufficient experience and knowledge to permit of his taking charge of the Observatory, when necessary; there should also be three Portuguese or Chinese clerks." They also stated that "it would appear that a great deal of useful work is done at the Observatory, but that the beneficial outcome of this work is diminished by the inadequate sum that has been allowed to be spent yearly. The annual cost of the upkeep of the Observatory was originally estimated at ten thousand dollars, but only seven thousand dollars has been spent. An Observatory is essentially one of those Institutions on which, if thoroughly good results are to be obtained, a considerable sum of money must be spent. They also strongly recommended that "Euro- pean Assistants should be obtained from England as speedily as possible and that, in the meantime, temporary assistance should be locally obtained."

4. A lengthy memorandum from Major-General H. S. PALMER, R.E., who wrote the original report which subsequently led to the establishment of the Observatory, was appended to the ?om- missioners' report.

5. The suggestions submitted by the Commission have not yet been carried out, but their report has been printed by order of the Governor, and they have thus in some sense had His Excellency's general approval. Whenever they are fully carried out, the working of this Observatory will be greatly improved and its immediate practical utility will be very much extended.

　　　6. I have to record my appreciation of the great skill and invariable courtesy with which the Chairman of the Commission conducted the enquiry. It is proper to call attention to this as it does not appear from the printed evidence attached to the report. But the printed evidence is quite incom- plete and misleading. Many important remarks have been omitted by the reporter and my explana- tions are quite incorrectly put down or not entered at all. Had the circulation of the printed evidence not been limited it would have done much towards strengthening popular falacies concerning typhoons.

　　　7. The Commission recommended the establishment of a branch Observatory at the Peak, and communication arranged with the Office of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company, General PALMER reported in 1881, that he considered an anemograph on the top of the Peak to be required. At present an advance upon the knowledge of typhoons gained in the Observatory during the past seven years depends mainly upon observations made on the top of the Peak. We do not even know how far the present registers, kept by the signalmen, are to be trusted e.g. they show that the wind blows less strongly there during typhoons than it does at sea level. It would be interesting to have that point cleared up.

We have no right to say that the force of the wind is wrongly estimated. We do not know whether it is right or wrong. The Commission stated that "the true direction of the wind can be more easily recorded at that altitude, and the signs of an approaching typhoon more quickly noticed." It would also be well to have a pluviograph working up there. That would supply certain informa- tion about rain-fall, which is very much required in Hongkong.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 6TH JUNE, 1891.

　　　8. A new cable was laid across the harbour in the spring of 1890, and the Observatory is now in direct connection with the Offices of the Telegraph Companies. That was of course the principal defect in connection with the immediate utility of the observations, and no improvement could take effect without it. It is to be regretted that the cable was not laid in 1883.-The signalman's house on the Peak is now in telephonic connection with the Central Police Station in Victoria and the Observatory is in telephonic connection with the Police Station at Kowloon Point, where the storm- signals are hoisted. With reference to improvements in the issue of weather intelligence consequent upon the laying of the cable, the notice reprinted as "Appendix A," to this report may be consulted.

9. Telegraphic connection with Victoria was interrupted on the 15th May from 12.15

till 2.25 p., on the 16th May, from 10.6 a. till 11.35 a., from 2.0 p. on the 13th June till 8.37 a., on the 14th, from 2.40 p. on the 13th September till 1.35 p., on the 15th, and from 3.45 p., on the 8th December till 11.25 a. on the 10th. It was of course also interrupted during thunderstorms.

　　　10. The China Coast Meteorological Register, based on information received direct from the Eastern Extension and Great Northern Telegraph Companies, was issued daily (Sundays and Govern- ment Holidays excepted). It contains at present telegrams (corrected and reduced) from Wladivostock, *Tokio, *Nagasaki, *Shanghai (Harbour Office), Foochow, *Amoy, Anping, *Swatow, Victoria Peak, Canton, *Macao, Hoihow, Haiphong, *Bolinao, Manila and Cape Saint James. The stations furnished with an asterisk issue the best telegrams. A summary of the weather expected in this part of China is appended as well as information concerning the first appearance and progress of typhoons and a full account of all meteorological signals and storm-warnings issued during the previous 24 hours.

　　　11. Whenever the staff in the Observatory allows it to be done, it will be necessary to have the most important telegraphic reporting stations inspected. That is done annually at home, It is eight years since I had an opportunity of inspecting them and some of them I have not visited at all.

　　　12. With reference to the twelfth paragraph of my annual report for 1889, (dated the 24th April, 1890), the First Assistant was away on sick leave since the middle of November 1889, and has not yet returned, and the Second Assistant resigned a few weeks later in order to accept of a better appoint- ment elsewhere. I was thus left without assistants and had to do the work as well as it could be effected with the help of two young Chinese Clerks. Under the circumstances I endeavoured before all to secure the continuation of the hourly readings and meteorological observations without break. How far I have succeeded in this can be gathered from the following pages. I do not claim that the last decimal of the figures is as nearly accurate as in previous years, but all tabulations and calculations have been made in duplicate by Chinese in my presence, and carefully checked. It is proper to mention that the credit for this is greatly due to Mr. Ho TOSHANG, who also read the proofsheets of the "Observations made in 1889.' He has since been promoted to be Second Assistant, and at the date of writing this report the monthly weather reports are ready for press up to date.

　　　13. It proved impossible to find suitable acting assistants locally, except in so far as an Electrical Engineer, after a month's training, was able to assist in the time-service and to drop the time-ball since July last. The ball had not been dropped for half a year. However the ball has repeatedly stopped since, when he, either through ill-health or other causes did not attend. He holds another position

in Hongkong, which mainly occupies his time. The dropping of the time-ball is the duty of the First Assistant. The natives are useless for such work.

　　　14. Mr. J. I. PLUMMER, formerly Astronomer in charge of Colonel TOMLINE'S Observatory at Orwell Park, who is so favourably known from his observations of comets, joined me on the 1st May, 1891, as Chief Assistant.

　　　15. Mr. ROBERTS, Chief Assistant in the Nautical Almanac Office, is carrying out the harmonic analysis of the hourly readings of tides in 1887 and 1888 taking into account five hitherto omitted terms, for which he has now adapted his tide-predicting machine. He intends to use the results for future predictions of tides in this port. The tide-gauge has been handed over to the Inspector General of Chinese Customs, who desires to have it worked for a year or two in each one of the treaty ports of China. It would of course have been impossible to work it properly here after the assistants went

away.

　　　16. During 1890, in addition to meteorological registers kept at about 40 stations on shore, the logs of 42 different vessels containing entries on 694 days (counting those made on board different ships on the same date separately) are available. By order of His Excellency the Admiral, Commander- in-Chief, a copy of all meteorological observations made on board men-of-war belonging to the squadron stationed in these seas are sent to the Observatory, and Commanders of Foreign vessels of war send such observations as are requested direct, or through the Commodore.-28 log-books or extracts of

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 6TH JUNE, 1891.

457

log-books were received through the Harbour Master's Office, 31 direct from the Captains or Owners, and 2 were copied on board ship in the harbour. But the information concerning typhoons in 1888, 1889 and 1890 is by no means yet complete.

　　　17. I regret to have to report that the magnetic hut was twice broken into and all the brass hooks and fastenings broken and stolen. Fortunately the magnetic instruments had been removed before this happened.

18. The following register of the spectroscopic rain-band has been supplied by an amateur, observ- ing daily at 10 a., the mean value for the year was 2.4.

　　　19. The following table exhibits corrections to be added to the mean readings of thermometers ex- posed in an open shed in order to obtain the readings of the rotating thermometers. The shed is covered with dried palm-leaves, which give the coolest shade obtainable. It is of the same dimensions as a shelter used for many years in India and very like the one represented in Blanford's "Indian Meteorologist's Vade-mecum," but there are additional pine stays. The screen is thus able to withstand the force of a whole gale without injury. The palm-leaves are raised during the gale but afterwards they settle down again in their places.-The thermometers are fixed in the same place as in the Indian shelter but are not further protected. Their upper ends are fixed into the extremities of two thin horizontal laths, projecting from the southern principal. The floor is turfed. The table indicates that this expo- sure is better than any other hitherto described except during the hours of the forenoon after sun-rise, when the thermometers generally register too high. This is owing to the sun-shine heating the ground below them, whereas the rotating thermometers being swung both in the sun and in the shade register lower. In the afternoon that does not matter so much as the shades then have been previously exposed to the sun and are not so much cooler than the ground exposed to the sun :

　　　20. The number of transits observed during the past year was 257, and the inclination of the axis was determined 29 times. As stated in the time-ball notice published in the Government Gazette on the 10th January, 1885, the time-ball is not dropped on Sundays or on Government Holidays. The covered wires in the reversing galvanometer were renewed and new zincs and manganese procured for the repair of the batteries. The time-ball was not dropped during the first half of the year owing to the absence of the First Assistant, whose duty it is to drop it. Since the 7th July, it was dropped by the engineer, who acted for him. From the 12th July till the 27th August inclusive it was handed over to the Public Works' Department for repairs, but the signal was given by dropping a flag. From the 16th September till the 8th October inclusive the ball was not dropped owing to the illness of the engineer in charge. On the 13th October, the ball was not hoisted as the wind was very strong. There were no failures in 1890.

21. As stated in the "Instructions for making Meteorological Observations, &c." meteorological instruments forwarded by observers, who regularly send their registers to the Observatory, are verified here free of cost. During the past year several instruments were verified.

　　22. At the Observatory the cisterns of the barograph and standard barometer are placed 109 feet above mean sea level. The bulbs of the thermometers are rotated 108 feet above mean sea level and 4 feet above the grass. The solar radiation thermometer is placed at the same height. The rim of the rain-gauge is 105 feet above mean sea level and 21 inches above the ground. At Victoria Peak the instruments, except the radiation thermometer and the rain-gauge are placed in the look-out. The cistern of the barometer is 1,814 feet above sea level. The bulbs of the thermometers are 4 feet above the floor except the maximum thermometer, which is a few inches higher. The rim of the rain-gauge is one foot above the ground.

23. 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 temperatures of the air and of evaporation as determined from readings of thermometers exposed in the shelter described above. All readings are reduced to the rotating thermometer by comparisons made every three hours or oftener. The extremes are reduced by aid of comparisons made during the hottest and coldest part of the day. The solar radiation (black bulb in vacuo) maximum temperature is reduced to the Kew arbitrary standard.

　　Table IV. exhibits the mean relative humidity in percentage of saturation and mean tension of vapour expressed in inches of mercury calculated by aid of Blanford's tables from the data in Tables II. and III.

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

　　Table VI. exhibits the amount of rain in inches registered from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. It exhibits also the duration of rain estimated at the Observatory. The rainfall at Victoria Peak is measured at 10a and entered to preceding day, but it is evident that the observer does not attend to the gauge regularly.

Table VII. exhibits the velocity of the wind in miles and its direction in points (0-31). The velocity of the wind is measured from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The direction is read off at the hour. The mean direction for every day has been calculated taking into 'account the velocity at each hour.

　　Table VIII. exhibits for every hour in the day the mean velocity of the wind reduced to 4 as well as to 2 directions, according to strictly accurate formula, and also the mean direction of the wind.

　　Table IX. exhibits the readings of the barometer reduced to freezing point of water but not to sea level, and of the thermometers, and the estimated direction and force (0-12) of the wind at Victoria Peak.

Where

Table X. exhibits the amount (0-10), name and direction whence coming of the clouds. the names of upper and lower clouds are given but only one direction, this refers to the lower clouds.

24. The Annual Weather Report for 1890 is arranged as follows:-

　　Table IV. exhibits the mean values for the year (as hourly excess above this) obtained from the means given in the monthly reports, the mean hourly intensity of rain is obtained from table VI. of the monthly reports in connection with table V. of this report. The total amount of rain was 70.935 inches at the Observatory and 89.54 inches at the Peak. The total duration registered at the Obser- vatory was 582 hours. There fell at least 0.01 inch of rain on 128 days at the Observatory.

　　Table V. exhibits the number of hours during a portion of which at least 0.005 inch of rain was registered.

　　Table VI. exhibits the number of days with wind from eight different points of the compass. The figures are obtained from the mean daily directions in table VII. of the monthly reports. Days with wind from a point equidistant from two directions given are counted half to one of these and half to the other e.g. half of the days when the wind was NNE are counted as N and the other half as NE.

　　The VII, exhibits the number of days on which certain meteorological phenomena were registered, and also the total number of thunderstorms noted in the neighbourhood during the past year.

Table VIII. show the frequency of clouds of the different classes. Table IX. is arranged as in previous years.

　　Tables X. and XI. exhibit the monthly and annual extremes. The extremes of humidity and vapour tension can be regarded as only approximate as the hourly values are not calculated.

Table XII. contains the five-day means.

(6 'ARTICLE V.

"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.

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.

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.

2. Will the Government lay upon the table a copy of the Despatches, referred to in the Acting Colonial Secretary's letter of 13th instant to the Honourable P.

The following Annual Report of the Inspector of Schools, for the year 1890, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 19th instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th June, 1891.

No. 57.

EDUCATION Department,

HONGKONG, 30th May, 1891.

SIR,-I have the honour to present herewith the Annual Report on Education for the year 1890.

　　　2. GENERAL EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS.-The total number of Educational Institutions of all descriptions, known to have been at work in the Colony of Hongkong during the year 1890, amounts to 223 Schools with a grand total of 9,644 scholars, constituting a decrease of 37 scholars as compared with the preceding year. More than three-fourths of the whole number of scholars, that is to say 7,659 scholars, attended Schools (114 in number) subject to Government supervision and receiving Government aid in some form or other. The remainder, viz. 109 Schools with 1,985 scholars, are Private Institutions entirely independent of Government supervision or aid, except that those few which are not kept for private emolument are by law exempt from payment of rates and taxes.

3. GENERAL STATISTICS OF SCHOOLS UNDER THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.-Apart from the Police School with 390 scholars (viz. 31 Europeans, 217 Indians and 142 Chinese,) and the West Point Reformatory with 99 scholars (72 Chinese and 27 non-Chinese), both of which Schools are exempt from the control of the Education Department, the total number of Schools, subject to Government supervision and examination, amounted in the year 1890 to 112, as compared with 63 in 1880, and 24 in 1870. The total number of scholars, enrolled in these Schools during the year 1890, amounted to 7,170 as compared with 3,886 in 1880 and 1,302 in 1870. It appears therefore that the number of Schools and scholars under examination by the Inspector of Schools has been nearly doubled within the last ten years. There has been an increase of 39 Schools and 2,584 scholars during the ten years from 1870 to 1880, and an increase of 49 Schools and 3,284 scholars during the ten years from 1880 to 1890. We have therefore evidence of a satisfactorily steady increase of Schools and scholars from decade to decade, which increase followed in the wake of the annual increase of the population.

4. PROGRESS DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS.--Applying the same comparison to the last few years, it appears that the number of Schools and scholars under the supervision of the Education Department rose from 97 Schools with 6,258 scholars in 1888, to 104 Schools with 7,107 scholars in 1889 and to 112 Schools with 7,170 scholars in 1890. It will be seen from these figures that, although there was a steady increase of Schools under Government supervision from year to year, yet the annual increase of scholars has fallen off, from -849 in 1888 to 63 in 1890, that is to say the attendance was unusually bad in 1890. The peculiar unhealthiness of the year, and especially the prevalence of influenza at the beginning of spring and the long continuance of fever among children, are the principal causes of this extraordinary decrease of attendances.

　　　5. COMPARATIVE STATISTICS OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS AND VOLUNTARY SCHOOLS.-Of the 7,170 scholars in 112 Schools under examination by the Inspector of Schools, as many as 4,656 scholars attended 76 Voluntary Schools established by the local Missions, both Protestant and Catholic, whilst 2,514 scholars attended 36 secular Government Schools. The latter are so distributed all over the Colony that in every district there is at least one secular Government School within easy reach of any parent objecting to send his children to denominational Christian Schools. Such objections are, how- ever, extremely rare, for, as a general rule, the Chinese, indifferent as to the religious influences of the Voluntary Schools, look to the personal character and scholastic competency of the teacher rather than to the christian or secular character of the School.

　　　6. SITUATION OF SCHOOLS.-The above-mentioned 112 Schools under the supervision of the Education Department are scattered over all parts of the Colony. In the District of Victoria, there are 71 Schools with 5,856 scholars. The villages of Hongkong are provided with 24 Schools attended by 789 scholars, whilst in the villages of Kowloon there are 17 Schools with 525 scholars. Where the population is densest, as in Saiyingpun, Sheungwan and Chungwan, the Schools are placed most closely together, but even in the Village Districts there is no hamlet, be it ever so small, that has not a School within easy reach. Every village with a population sufficient to send 20 children to School has a school of its own. The only drawback is that the School-houses are, with rare exceptions, badly suited for the purpose and do not afford sufficient accommodation for the number of children who ought to go to school.

496

THE HONGKON GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH JUNE, 1891.

7. EDUCATIONAL EXPENDITURE OF THE GOVERNMENT.-The sum total spent by the Government in the year 1890 for educational purposes ($68,194.75), amounted; after deducting the school fees ($12,113.00) paid into the Treasury, to $56,081.75. The principal items included in this sum are the following:-Victoria College $19,222, Grants-in-aid (including Building Grant) $19,332, Government District Schools $7,046, Government Girls School $2,459, Inspectorate of Schools $4,377, Govern- ment Scholarship $1,187, Student Interpreters $520, etc. The foregoing expenditure, compared with the expenditure of the preceding year, constitutes a moderate increase, caused principally by additions to the salaries of the staff of Victoria College, by the establishment of a new Girls School, and by increase of Grants given to Voluntary Schools. But this whole increase has its deepest source in the natural extension of the educational movement which is irresistibly pushed forward by the urgent demands of a growing population, increasing from year to year in its appreciation of the value of education as well as in sheer numbers. The total educational expenditure of the year 1890 amounts to $7.34 per scholar, so far as the Government is concerned. But Schools like St. Joseph's College, the Italian Convent, the Diocesan School, the Hongkong Public School, the Church Mission Home and Orphanage, the Berlin Mission and other Mission Schools, doing sound educational work for the benefit of the community, incurred additional educational expenditure, not included in the foregoing figures, and amounting (as will be seen from Table XI appended to this Report) to $60,646.51, that is to say to $41,909.39 over and above the Grants-in-Aid ($18,737.12) paid to those Schools by the Government in February, 1890. The cost to Government of the education provided by the various classes of Schools under the supervision of the Government varies widely. Each scholar in average attendance educated in Victoria College cost the Government in 1890, $25.34, at the Government Girls School (being in its first year and charging only half fees) $70.49, at the Government District Schools $8.88, at the Grant-in-Aid Schools $5.62. Nothing can be plainer than the fact that the system of payment by results, as applied to the Grant-in-Aid Schools of Hong- kong, is very much cheaper, whilst equally effective, and to parents more satisfactory, than the system of Government Schools. The Grant-in-Aid system of Hongkong, essentially differing in some points from the scheme in force in England, commends itself, by the sinoothness, cheapness and effectiveness of its working, more and more, from year to year. In view of the annual increase (by immigration from the mainland). of our population, and the consequent annual increase of our educational needs and expenditure, a definite policy concerning educational expenditure is an absolute necessity. I am decidedly of opinion, and I have continuously urged it upon the Govern- ment during the last eight years, that we ought to follow in Hongkong the leading principles adopted in 1883 by the Indian Government, which, declaring the elementary education of the mass of the people the principal object of the Education Department, offered to hand over any of its Colleges or Schools (devoted to secondary education) in suitable cases to bodies of local educationists willing to undertake their management under the provisions of the Grant-in-Aid system. The Royal Commis- sion on Indian Education (1883), made the following suggestions, clearly applicable to Hongkong. "Secondary education in any district should be left to the Grant-in-Aid system" (Report, p. 414) "No direct departmental effort should be made in the field of secondary education" (Report, p. 415). "The discontinuance of any general system of education, entirely provided by Government (that is by Government Schools) is anticipated with the gradual advance of the system of Grants-in-Aid, but the progress of education is not to be checked in the slightest degree by the abandonment of a single school "All Directors of to probable decay." (Indian Education Dispatch, 1854, quoted in Report, p. 23.) Public Instruction should aim at the gradual transfer to local (native) management of Government Schools giving secondary instruction," (Report, p. 596). "The fact that any (Government) School giving secondary education raises more than 60 per cent. of its entire expenditure from fees, should be taken as affording a presumption that the transfer of such school to local management can be safely effected." (Report, p. 467.) "A periodically increasing provision should be made in the educational budget for the expansion of Aided Institutions." (Report, p. 583.) The proportion of educational expenditure to general revenue is an important consideration. I find that in 1881 to 1882, (no later data being at hand), the Government of Bombay spent on education (after deducting all school-fees, but including cost of school-buildings), 23.2 per cent., Madras, 14.3 per cent., and Bengal, 6.98 per cent. of its total revenues. In 1889, the Colony of Mauritius, with a revenue of Rs 87,44,864, spent on education (exclusive of Buildings) Rs 4,05,021 or 4.6 per cent. The Government of the Straits Settlements devoted, in 1888, out of a revenue of $3,858,108, the sum of $143,109, or 3.7 per cent. to the current expenses of the Education Department (cost of Buildings not included). The Colony of Hongkong, having a revenue of $1,995,220, spent in the year 1890, as above stated, the sum of $56,081 on the ordinary purposes of education (exclusive of Buildings), being 2.8 per cent, of the total revenue.

8. NATURE OF THE EDUCATION GIVEN. We have in Hongkong the following distinctions. There are, in the first instance, Schools giving a Chinese education in the Chinese classical language. In 1890, there were as many as 86 such Schools at work under the Education Department, (28 Government Schools and 58 Grant-in-Aid Schools), giving to a total of 3,955 scholars, the kind of education which an ordinary Village School anywhere in the Empire of China gives, but with the addition (in the case of 28 Government Schools with 862 scholars) of the rudiments of Arithmetic and Geography, and (in the case of the 58 Grant-in-Aid Schools with 3,093 scholars) with the further addition of Christian teach-

497

ing. The teachers of these Schools are all Chinese and have not had any professional training. We have further a few Schools (in 1890, 3 Schools with 219 scholars), which give to Chinese children a Euro- pean Christian education in the Chinese language, (Hakka and Punti). The instruction given in these Schools, which partly avail themselves of the use of the Romanized system of writing Chinese, adds, to the subjects taught in the preceding class of Schools, the further subjects of Arithmetic (up to decimal fractions) and Ancient History. These Schools are partly taught by Europeans and partly by Chinese teachers who have had a European training. A third class of Schools (in 1890, four in number, with 280 scholars) are devoted to giving a Christian education in the Portuguese language to Portuguese children. These Schools, taught by European ladies, who (with one or two exceptions) hold certificates of some European Government, teach, in the Portuguese language, the ordinary subjects of an elementary English education. The next class of Schools consists of 8 English Schools with exactly 700 scholars, all under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. These Schools give to English and Portu- guese children (including a few Chinese), by the instrumentality of trained European teachers, an elementary English education in the English language, but the highest class or classes in each of these Schools superadd the principal subjects of an English secondary School, viz.: Algebra, Physical Geo- graphy, Music and Needlework in the Girls Schools, and Physical Geography, Algebra, Euclid, Lite- rature, Mensuration and Book-keeping in the Boys Schools. Some Schools add to the foregoing list of secondary subjects special lessons, as for instance Latin (Hongkong Public School), French and Geometrical Drawing (St. Joseph's College), French and Freehand Drawing (Victoria English Schools). Finally we have a class of Schools which combine with the aim of giving an elementary English education in the English language the endeavour to keep up also the previous attainments of their scholars in the classical Chinese language, giving thus an Anglo-Chinese education by English methods of tuition In 1890, we had 14 Schools of this class, attended by 2,016 scholars of Chinese or Eurasian extraction. Three of these Anglo-Chinese Schools (with 364 scholars) are Mission Schools, the remainder (with 1,652 scholars) are Government Schools, but only three out of these fourteen Schools (Diocesan School; Victoria College and Government Girls School) are taught by trained teachers. The Victoria College and the Diocesan School are the only Anglo-Chinese Schools which combine, like the above mentioned English Schools, with the advanced subjects of a secondary English education, also the ordinary subjects of elementary English and elementary Chinese Schools. To the ordinary sub- jects of a secondary English School, the Diocesan School adds Animal Physiology, Geometrical and Prospective Drawing and Book-keeping, whilst the Victoria College adds Latin, Mensuration, Chemistry and Book-keeping. The Victoria College; St. Joseph's College, Diocesan School, Hongkong Public School and the Victoria English School prepare candidates for the Oxford Local (both Junior and Senior) Examinations. There has been a visible tendency of late, in the case of St. Joseph's College, Diocesan School and Victoria English Boys School, to turn the secondary education they are giving into the distinct channel of a commercial education, whilst the Victoria College and the Hongkong Public School seek to combine commercial and classical teaching.

　　　9. FEMALE EDUCATION.-Three causes have hitherto been at work retarding the expansion of female education in the Colony and preventing its keeping pace with the education of boys. In the first instance, the Chinese population of the Colony consisted for three or four decades of our Colonial history almost exclusively of men whose families (if any) were left on the mainland of China. In the second instance, the Chinese, though anxious to have their boys taught to read and write, because aware of the commercial value of such knowledge, did not until lately see why their daughters should go to school at all. In the third instance, there is a large class of purchased servant-girls (of school- going age) and Eurasian girls whom servitude and the stigma of want of respectability, combined with popular prejudice, seek to keep out of the education net. These three factors, hostile to the spread of female education, are to a certain extent still at work in the Colony, but year by year their effect becomes weaker. It is still a fact that the main body of our population consists of working men, either unmarried or having their families on the mainland, but the number of Chinese families permanently settled in Hongkong increases steadily from year to year. It is still true that most Euro- pean families, that can afford the expense, send their children to Europe to be educated there, but the number of those that cannot afford it is on the increase. As to Chinese indifference to the value of school-education for their daughters, it is rapidly vanishing, as the needlework instruction, gratui- tously added to the programme of the Girls Schools, has introduced a commercial value. But whilst freely sending their sons to English Schools and gradually learning to appreciate the value of the education given in Chinese Girls Schools, they cannot as yet see why their daughters should learn English. Finally, as regards the pariahs of local society, the Registrar General has of late made valuable efforts to bring home to the Chinese families, in which purchased servant girls are employed, their moral obligation of providing these girls with an education, and the establishment of the Government Central School for Girls has given a first impetus to the education of Eurasian girls. The net result of this general movement in the matter of female education is exhibited by the subjoined Table, shewing the proportion of boys and girls under instruction, in schools subject to the supervision of the Government, during the last ten years. It will be seen from this Table that, while there was in the year 1890 but a very slight increase of scholars (63) as compared with the year 1889, and a decrease of boys (145), there was an increase of 208 girls under instruction in the year 1890, and that, whilst in 1880, among every hundred scholars under instruction, there were only 18 girls, there were, in 1890, 32 girls in every hundred scholars in school. This is nothing to boast of, for it shews that female education is

　still in a backward condition, but it is clear that there is steady progress and room for the hope that the proportion of boys and girls under instruction will soon attain to its normal figure.

　　　10. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.-The rule in force in Hongkong, as regards the number of attendances required to entitle Schools to receive a grant from Government, has been changed at the close of the year 1890. The rule, taken from Foster's Education Act of 1870, was that each scholar for whom a grant is to be paid must have gained at least 200 daily attendances of four hours each. This rule was changed in England within a few years after its introduction, as it was found to leave an insufficient margin for sickness and other natural causes always interfering with the regularity of attendance at school. But in Hongkong this rule remained in the Code in spite of repeated protests, until 1890. The rules at present enforced in England require that each School should be open 200 full days, and each scholar should attend for 22 weeks (say 132 days). The Grant-in-Aid Scheme of Ceylon states that no grant will be allowed for any scholar, who shall have received less than nine months' instruc- tion during the twelve months immediately preceding the examination in the School in which he is. examined and who shall have made less than 100 attendances. The rule at present in force in Sin- gapore is that the School shall have met not less than 200 times in the course of the school-year and that no scholar can be presented who has attended less than 100 days in the course of the school. year. The former Hongkong rule, which pressed hardly on European girls and on Portuguese scholars, owing to the trying climate of Hongkong, and which made it impossible for the Grant-in-Aid Scheme to be applied to the fishing population (the children of which go to sea during the fishing seasons), has been changed by the literal adoption of the rule in force in Singapore. The consequence of this change is that the principal incentive to falsification of the daily attendance list has been removed, that there is hardly any temptation now to bring undue pressure to bear upon weakly children to compel them to make up 200 attendances at the expense of their health, and that Grant-in-Aid Schools have now a definite prospect of success among the village and boat population.

　　　11. RESULTS OF ANNUAL EXAMINATION.-As far as the 76 Grant-in-Aid Schools are concerned, the detailed results of the annual examination of these Schools will be found summarized in Table XIV appended to this Report, where the percentage of scholars passed in each School in 1890, is stated and compared with the results of the preceding year, and in Table XV, which records the percentage of passes gained by those Schools in each subject. As regards the Government Schools, the reports of the Acting Headmaster of Victoria College, and of the Headmistress of the Government Central School for Girls have been published in the Government Gazette, and the Government District Schools will be found classified and arranged, in the order of their efficiency, in Table X, appended to this Report, which Table embodies the results of the annual examination of these District Schools. I subjoin, how- ever, some critical observations as to those examination results which have not yet been sufficiently brought forward.

12. VICTORIA COLLEGE.-The Acting Headmaster has pointed out in his report that the percent- age of passes obtained at the last examination (89.45) was lower than in previous years, that the work done by Classes I. B and III. B was far below the average, but that the work of Classes I. A; II. B; III, A and that of the whole Preparatory School deserves special mention. Although I do not attach very much importance to the average of passes, considered by itself, as it is influenced from year to year by varying special circumstances, I agree with the Acting Headmaster, in view of other things noticed in the course of the examination and especially after comparing the examination papers of Victoria College with those of other Anglo-Chinese and English Schools, which compete with the College, that the general result of last year's examination has not been altogether satisfactory. Con- sidering that Victoria College has decidedly the best and largest staff in the Colony, the best and largest accommodation, abundance of school materials (provided at a cost of over $2,000 a year), and that it is, by its independence as to the matter of school-fees, in a better position to enforce strict dis- cipline than private institutions whose existence largely depends on the fees and favour of scholars and parents, one might expect that the results obtained by Victoria College should be above those which I find from year to year in similar Anglo-Chinese and English Schools. I believe that Victoria

College is on the whole still the best School of its kind in the Colony, but I also see indications which

make me believe that it is in great danger of falling behind in the keen race of competition now going

on in Hongkong, and that, unless the staff of Victoria College make a special effort and put on a spur, St. Joseph's College and the Diocesan School and perhaps even one or two other competing institu tions will outstrip the Victoria College in the matter of efficiency and results. My reasons for this fear are as follows. The English Reading, which was very good in one or two classes of Victoria College, was, at the last examination in quite a number of classes below the average of similar Anglo-Chinese Schools, and some of the classes are moreover too large to admit of the possibility of giving an all round effective reading lesson. The Composition papers of the whole College were hardly equal to the average results of similar Anglo-Chinese Schools in the Colony. Now, Reading and Composition results, taken together, are the only means we have of forming an estimate of what the attainments in English Speaking probably are in the case of the scholars. A gentleman, who for the last twenty-five years has taken a prominent place in the educational movement in India, visited lately the several classes of Victoria College, and, comparing its methods with those of similar institu- tions in India, pointed to the apparent insufficiency of efforts in the direction of imparting a command of conversational English as the principal defect of Victoria College. Another point which I noticed in comparing the examination papers of Victoria College, with those of other Schools is that the hand- writing of Victoria College is decidedly inferior and indicates a deficiency as to the time and attention devoted to the subject of Copy writing, which has a strong practical bearing on the future commercial usefulness of the scholars of Victoria College. I am aware that the foregoing defects almost disappear from sight when contrasted with the excellent results obtained at the last examination of the College in most of the higher subjects (among which the Chemistry papers stand out most prominently), shewing solid and effective teaching in the majority of classes. There is, however, a further point which I think it my duty to draw attention to, in order to stimulate the energies of the staff of Victoria. College. A School like this, which is so splendidly equipped, which can draw upon the public exchequer to the extent of over $30,000 a year, and upon which the Government has annually been spending as much money (even apart from cost of buildings) as on the whole of the 76 Grant-in-Aid Schools, such a School surely ought to take a foremost place in all the public educational competitions of the Colony. When Governor BowEN established that magnificent Government Scholarship, worth ￡200 per annum for four years, it required an effort to dissuade him from confining competition for that scholarship to scholars of Victoria College, because he assumed that it would furnish competitors enough. Now, the first Government Scholarship was indeed gained by Victoria College in 1884, but at the contest for the second Scholarship in 1886, Victoria College failed, and in the third and fourth competitions conducted by the Cambridge Syndicate in 1888 and in 1890, Victoria College took no share at all. Again, at the last annual public competition for BELILIOS Prizes and Medals, in Decem ber 1890, where, in the boys division, St. Joseph's College, the Diocesan School, the Hongkong Public School and the Victoria English School competed for honours, the scholars of Victoria College took no part. At the Oxford Local Examination held in July, 1890, Victoria College presented nine competitors in the senior division, but only three of them passed, and not one of the 1,075 scholars of Victoria College was presented for examination in the junior division. I bring these points th?s publicly forward with some reluctance, but I believe I am performing a public duty in doing so. I subjoin the usual Statistical Tables, which indicate, in detail, the progress made in the year 1890, by the several divisions and classes of the College.

　　　13. GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.-This School, the need of which, in the absence of any voluntary effort in this particular direction, I explained in my Report for the year 1888, was established by the courageous decision of His Excellency Sir W. DES VEUX. The Governor decided upon the establishment of this School in the face of influential opposition and popular prejudice, from a desire to provide the Eurasian female population of the Colony, for whose education no unsectarian provision had ever been made before, with the means of obtaining a liberal Anglo-Chinese education. It is also hoped that eventually, when the Chinese begin to appreciate the value of an Anglo-Chinese education for their daughters, this School will promote among the Chinese female population a know- ledge of the English language and social principles which will tend to diminish the gap still existing in the Colony between the education of Chinese men and women. This is, however, a matter of the future. Meanwhile the School has been commenced as an experiment, on the 1st March, 1890. It had been prophesied by some that the School would obtain no scholars at all, but it commenced with an attendance of 27 scholars, which rose by the end of the year to 40 scholars (mostly Eurasian) in

average attendance.

　　　　　attendance. At the close of the school-year there was a prospect of the attendance rising to over 60 scholars, which warrants the expectation of steady development in the near future. The School has had hard up-hill work in its first year of existence, and has been considerably hampered by changes in the superintendence and by the unsuitability of its location and narrowness of accommoda- tion. For a few years to come, this School will be an abnormally costly institution until larger attend- ances and a raising of the fees balance to some extent the costliness of house-rent and staff.

14. GOVERNMENT DISTRICT SCHOOLS.-The Anglo-Chinese District Schools, situated respectively at Saiyingpun, Wantsai, Wongnaichung, Stanley, Yaumati and Shaukiwan and attended in 1890, by 510 scholars have, with one exception, done good work and enjoy the confidence of the people evidenced by the fact that they are overcrowded and in some cases have had to refuse admission to numbers of intending scholars for want of accommodation. The erection of one new District School- building, the first on the list of five new buildings sanctioned in 1882, has been commenced, in the autumn of 1890, at Saiyingpun, and promises to be a good model of a District School-building. The Anglo-Chinese School at Shaukiwan does not meet with the favour of the villagers and is so poorly attended that it seems hardly worth while to continue it as a Government School. The principal objections of the villagers are that the School-building is unhealthy, that one school-master cannot satisfactorily teach both English and Chinese because as a general rule proficiency in one of these languages is accompanied by incompetency in the other, and that the Government ought to provide one teacher for English instruction, one for the Hakka and Hoklo, and one for the Punti dialect to please all the parents. This is out of the question. The better plan will be to work the School under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, which leaves room for the villagers or private educationists making efforts of their own to secure a school or schools according to their own notions and receiving from the Government such aid as the results ascertained by examination will justify. The other Government District Schools, giving a purely Chinese education in the Chinese language and attended in 1890 by 862 scholars, distributed over 28 Schools in town and in the villages of Hongkong and Kowloon, have been continuing their work in a manner calling for no special remark. But the question of fees con- nected with some of these Schools, viz. those hitherto designated by the term " Aided Village Schools," has been definitely settled in 1890, it having been resolved by the Governor, Sir W. DES VEUX to abolish school-fees in these elementary Schools, to provide the school furniture and to raise the salaries of the Masters, by converting these Aided Schools, hitherto nominally in charge of the respective village communities, into ordinary Government Schools. Accordingly the old furniture of the former Govern- ment Central School was distributed among these Schools, and the payment of fees ceased in all the villages at the beginning of 1890. An elementary Chinese education throughout the six Standards and elementary Anglo-Chinese education up to Standard IV is therefore now within reach of the people, in town and villages, free of any charge (so far as the existing house accommodation goes), and all elementary Government Schools, with the exception of Victoria College and the Government Central School for Girls, are now free schools. Some years ago, Mr. JOHN RUSSELL, a great advocate of free education for the poor, published, in connection with the Indian and Colonial Exhibition at South Kensington, the Schools of Greater Britain," in which he remarked, with reference to the educational a report on system of Hongkong, that "from an English stand point the system of Government education (in Hongkong) would probably be condemned as reaching only the middle classes whose educational requirements should be met by private enterprise and missing the poorer classes whose necessities are more imperative." All cause for the blame, thus deservedly laid on our educational system six years ago, has now been removed, so far as circumstances admit of it.

15. GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOLS.-The general movement in the direction of raising the standard of the education given in all the various Grant-in-Aid Schools (76 in number and attended in 1890 by 4,656 scholars), to which I referred in my last Report, has continued in 1890. There is on all sides a demand for a Seventh Standard to be added to the provisions of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. There can be no doubt, from an educational point of view, that this demand is sound and will, if complied with, have the effect of inducing most parents to leave their children in school for a year longer than has hitherto been customary, the result of which measure would be greater solidity and permanence in the practical results of the whole course of education. But the proposed measure has a financial aspect and requires for its execution an increase in that annual vote for Grants-in-Aid which, in the experience of the past, has again and again been insufficient to provide for the payment of the ordinary grants earned under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, and necessitated, in the case of the Grants earned in Unless the Legislative Council is willing periodically to 1890, a pro rata reduction of 10.5 per cent. increase the sum annually voted for Grants-in-Aid at a rate higher than that hitherto adopted, the addi- tion of a Seventh Standard would only add to the disappointment so frequently caused by those vexa- tious pro rata reductions.

The annual examination of the Grant-in-Aid Schools exhibited fair progress made in most of the Schools, both in elementary and secondary subjects, but the advances made in the teaching of Grammar in the case of the Italian Convent Schools (both in English and in Portuguese), Composition in the case of St. Joseph's College and the Diocesan School and of almost every subject in the Victoria English School (Girls Division) stood out most prominently. The number of scholars brought for- ward for examination in the special subjects of Algebra, Euclid, Physical Geography, Book-keeping, Animal Physiology and Latin, has been greater than in any previous year. The subjoined table exhibits the results of the examination in those special subjects.

17. PHYSICAL TRAINING.-In a thoughtful and independent criticism of the educational system of Hongkong, published in the China Review in April, 1890, the reviewer (Mr. C. S. ADDIS), whilst giving high praise to the principles and methods embodied in the educational policy of the Govern- ment of Hongkong, justly pointed out as a prominent defect (next to our shortcomings in the matter of school accommodation) the absence of any provision for physical training. Desultory attempts have been made by several Headmasters to encourage school-sports, but apart from an annual com- petition and prize-giving for athletic sports confined to the principal Boys Schools in the Colony, no methodical effort has been made to encourage or practice systematic physical training, except in the case of the Diocesan Home and Orphanage School. The military drill, introduced in this School several years ago and gradually improved and extended, was, in 1890, very conspicuous by its having given the boys of this School an appearance of orderliness, smartness and alacrity, which is very pleasing and which exhibited itself also in their dealing with their examination papers in a style and spirit contributing much to the successful results of the examinations. The discipline of the School, perfect as it is, appears to be fallen in with on the part of the boys in such a cheerful spirit that the tout ensemble produces no impression of harshness, stiffness or artificiality. For some fifteen months past, the Government has had under consideration a definite scheme for introducing in the Schools of the Colony a simple form of systematic school drill by the instrumentality of a Military Drill In- structor, and a small sum has been included for this purpose in the Colonial Estimates for 1891. The establishment of a Public Swimming Bath for the benefit of all the Schools of the Colony was favour- ably reported upon by a Committee in summer 1890, but is still under consideration.

18. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.-The only Industrial School in the Colony is the Roman Catholic West Point Reformatory, which gives to Chinese and Portuguese boys instruction in shoe-making, tailoring, book-binding and gardening. As all the industries of the Colony are in the hands of the Chinese, who neither require nor are accessible to the special stimulus which in England is required to support English industry in its competition with the industries of foreign countries, neither industrial nor technical Schools are required by the general interests of Hongkong. The only section of the commu- nity for which some special provision, to assist them in the struggle of life, might be desirable, are the poorer classes of the Portuguese community. Clerkships are at present the only sphere of occupation resorted to by young Portuguese of Hongkong, and such posts do not increase in number, nor in accessibility, in proportion as the Portuguese population of Hongkong increases. For the ordinary industries the Portuguese have no taste nor does the competition of the physically stronger and thriftier Chinaman leave them any chance of success. If any art-industry or technical employment could be found for which Portuguese would have inclination and which would not admit of Chinese competition, it would meet a growing difficulty which is likely to trouble the poorer classes of the Portuguese community in the near future.

　　　　19. MEDICAL EDUCATION.-The College of Medicine for Chinese, which is unconnected with the Government scheme of education, except that the Government has established a Medical Scholarship

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH JUNE, 1891.

503

for the benefit of the College, is the only Medical School in the Colony. Its object is to spread among Chinese practitioners of medicine and surgery a knowledge of European principles and methods. An endowment, created by Mr. E. R. BELILIOS, is specially intended to encourage Chinese scholars of the Victoria College to take up the study of European medicine. There is also a Watson Scholarship connected with this College.

　　　20. SCHOLARSHIPS AND EXHIBITIONS.-The Government Scholarship was competed for, in Octo- ber, 1890, by 3 Candidates (2 from the Hongkong Public School, and 1 from the Diocesan School), and the Examiners (Cambridge Syndicate) gave the first place to F. SOUTHEY, of the Diocesan School. The only Schools in the Colony favoured in the way of endowed Scholarships are the Victoria College, which has a Morrison Scholarship, a Stewart Scholarship, and a Senior and Junior Belilios Scholar- ship, each of the value of $60 a year, to offer to its scholars, and St. Joseph's College, which enjoys the benefit of a Senior and Junior Belilios Scholarship of the same value. Another Belilios Trust Fund provides medals and prizes for the scholars of any Boys' or Girls' School in the Colony, with a view to encourage education, and annual competitions are held for this purpose both in English and Chinese subjects of instruction.

A discussion ensued.

It was agreed that a letter be addressed to the Honourable Acting Colonial Secretary pointing out that the report of analysis on the Taitam water for the month of May is a general report and apparently a continuation of previous reports; whereas, what the Board is desirous of obtaining is a special report on a specific point, viz.: the whitish appearance of the water after filtration.

Board during the three years ended the 16th June, 1891, together with the estimated cost of the same.

Mr. HUMPHREYS seconded.

Question-put and agreed to.

Licensing Common Lodging-houses.-The draft of a circular directing the attention of Common Lodging- house Keepers to the law relating to Common Lodging-houses was considered.

Mr. FRANCIS moved,-

That the draft Circular be not approved of.

A discussion ensued.

The Vice-President seconded Mr. FRANCIS' motion providing he would add to it the words "and that the matter be left for arrangement between the Registrar General and the Secretary to the Board.

Mr. FRANCIS agreed to amend his motion accordingly.

The Captain Superintendent of Police moved as an amendment,-

That the draft Circular be referred to the Registrar General for his consideration.

Mr. FRANCIS withdrew his motion.

The Captain Superintendent of Police's motion was agreed to.

The President addressed the Board and congratulated Mr. FRANCIS on being again returned by the electors to a seat at the Board.

BOTANIC GARDENS, HONGKONG, 25th June, 1891.

SIR, I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on this Department for the year 1890.

　　　　2. The year, taking it all through, was one generally favourable to the gardens so far as natural phenomena were concerned. There was fortunately an absence of such violent storms of wind or rain as sometimes prove so disastrous, and the rainfall was very favourable except during the last four months of the year, which were exceptionally dry. From Dr. DOBERCK's returns I observe that only 3.335 inches of rain fell during these four months, October and November having only .025 inch. This prolonged season of drought caused much extra work in artificial watering.

　　　　3. Mr. WESTLAND, the Head Gardener, I am sorry to say, suffered severely from fever and other complaints during the early part of the year; in March he left for England on leave and has not yet returned, an extension of leave for six months having been granted him.

　　　　4. In June, Mr. MOOTIAN, who had become a very efficient clerk, having adapted himself to the constantly increasing work of the office, resigned. He had for some time been dissatisfied with the remuneration of his office. The salary offered to his successor, being even smaller than that which Mr. MOOTIAN received, failed to attract candidates with suitable qualifications, but the best one of those who applied was appointed on probation, at the end of which he was relieved of his duties. Candidates were again advertised for at the same salary and a student from Victoria College, having passed very creditably in the examination and having excellent certificates, but entirely without office experience and lacking some of the requirements specified in the advertisement, was appointed. How- ever good his character and abilities might have been as a scholar he was, of course, at a great disad- vantage when placed in a position which requires considerable experience and training in office work, but I have much pleasure in testifying to the satisfactory manner in which he has applied himself to the work which he is expected to do.

5. Up to the present time the department has been without European assistance for 14 months, and for 11 out of these 14 months I have been under the very great disadvantage of having to get through the work in the best way I could with clerks who were quite unequal to the requirements of the office. The result of this feeble equipment of the office has been that very much of my time had to be employed in doing work which an ordinary clerk should have done, while other important work on which I should have been engaged had of necessity to be suspended or to receive less attention than it demanded.

BOTANIC GARDENS.

Water Supply.

6. The water service to the existing tanks has been all that could be desired, but more tanks and additional piping are wanted, the New Gardens being entirely without service pipes and tanks. The fountain having been connected late in the summer, the pleasant sound of its waters in the hot weather was again heard after about one and a half year's interruption. Unfortunately during the dry season water cannot be spared to keep the water in the basin clear, consequently it lies green and stagnant

for several months when water is scarce.

Plant Houses.

7. These have all been repainted and colour-washed, and kept in good repair, Visitors much appreciate the general plant houses and if means were available I should be glad to extend them and improve their general design both for cultural and artistic purposes. Before any extension could be made it would be necessary to go to some considerable expense in retaining-walls and levelling to prepare a site for new houses, as there is no level ground in the only place in the gardens which is sufficiently sheltered from strong winds for these structures.

Lawns.

　　　　8. The whole of the turf on the lowermost terrace in which the flower-beds are situated had become very uneven owing to the settlement of the soil and the action of earth-worms; means having been found for the work the whole of the turf was therefore taken up, and, after the ground was levelled, relaid. In addition to the great improvement in appearance, the levelling has much facilitated the mowing of the grass.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH JULY, 1891.

573

　　9. Considerable progress has been made in the propagation of plants with which the ground beneath large trees, where the shade has killed ordinary grass, is being reclothed. The quantity of plants available will, I hope, meet the demand, and enable us to reclothe the worst of the bare places within another year. This work should properly have been started some few years ago, but there were not sufficient means available for it.

　　10. As an opinion prevails pretty generally that lawns here may be made or improved by sowing English lawn-grass seeds it may be useful to record the result of an experiment I made with this seed, A piece of ground was carefully prepared and sown with fresh seeds on the 2nd February, 1889, the seeds germinated perfectly and a fine crop of grass was the result, the grass was kept care- fully weeded and had generally the best of treatment, but during the succeeding summer much of it died, what remained, however, improved in health during the next cold season, but as soon as the rains and heat of the summer of 1890 began the grass suffered more than in the previous summer and it gradually dwindled away until nothing remained at the end of September; that is in 21 months after sowing all of the English grasses were dead. During no period of the experiment was the grass in suitable condition for a lawn. An experiment made some years ago of sowing English lawn-grass seed amongst the indigenous grasses proved equally unsuccessful, the native grasses having at a very early stage of the life of the English grass completely smothered the latter in the struggle.

Labelling of Plants.

　　11. The incompleteness of the indoor staff prevented any attention being given to the maintenance of the plant labels, which require a great deal of constant attention to keep them in position and replace broken or obliterated ones. It may be some time before the requisite attention can be given to the subject, but when an opportunity does occur I hope to be able to introduce a kind of label, which I believe can now be had at a inoderate cost, that will be more permanent than wooden labels which are subject to rapid decay and destruction by white ants in this climate.

Crotons.

12. A collection of all the varieties of Crotous cultivated in the garden was brought together and planted at the sides of the flight of steps at the north-west entrance gate and at the western end of the lower terrace, these, and other alterations at this place, have greatly improved the appearance of the entrance. The usual amount of heavy and expensive work of removing bad soil and rocks and replacing them with better soil collected with great labour on the hills outside the gardens had to be undertaken. This difficulty of rocks and bad soil meets all operations in almost every part of the gardens when trees or shrubs have to be planted, but in spite of these difficulties very creditable results generally have been achieved, although at a considerable cost.

Walks, Drains, &c.

　　13. These have been maintained in good order, the walks having been kept in a state of perfect neatness, even throughout the periods of heaviest rains, a result which has not been attained in any previous year. This satisfactory condition was owing to all the walks which were not level having been concreted in the winter of 1889, as referred to in my last report, and thus preventing the scour- ing away of gravel which always occurred in walks of even gentle gradients during the season of heavy

rains.

Glenealy Ravine.

14. The repairs of damages caused by the great Rain Storm of May, 1889, occupied much time in the early part of the year. After the very large quantity of soil which had been carried away was replaced works of turfing and replanting were carried out, another retaining-wall built, and the rockery near the gate-way reconstructed and furnished with suitable plants, advantage having been taken of the opportunity for effecting some improvements in the arrangements which existed before the storm. 15. The Government having granted an application from the authorities of the new Roman Catholic Cathedral for a short road to be made from their property to connect with the path which passes through the Glenealy Ravine the work of its construction was carried out by the Public Works Department. Although the road has no doubt been a convenience to the congregation of the Cathedral its position has not improved the appearance of the locality. No attempt has yet been made to beautify the neglected ground on the upper side of this new road, but the work will be taken in hand so soon as arrangements are completed which will permit of the stoppage of the continuous traffic across the ground by people who come to the nullah to obtain water; while this traffic continues there would be no security for the satisfactory maintenance of any improvements which might be made for artistic effect.

Chinese Ginger.

16. In my annual Report for 1886, I mentioned that in consequence of some doubt existing as to the identity of the plant which furnishes the Canton preserved ginger I had, with a view of observ- ing and studying the plants, introduced and cultivated in these gardens the different kinds which it might have been supposed were the source of Chinese ginger. In March, 1888, Dr. TRIMEN, Director

}

574

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH JULY, 1891.

　of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Ceylon, kindly sent me a living plant of an *Alpinia to add to our collection. This was a portion of a plant which has given rise to considerable interest and correspond- ence and which was the subject of an article headed "Chinese Ginger" in the Kew Bulletin of February last. From this article it appears that Dr. PERCEVAL WRIGHT, Professor of Botany in the University of Dublin, as long ago as 1878 "Wrote to Kew pointing out that the large flat ginger-like masses "sent to this country from China as preserved ginger differed from anything that the ordinary ginger "plant (Zingiber officinale) could possibly produce.

　　　The Kew Bulletin goes on to say," At the instance of Professor PERCEVAL WRIGHT, Mr. G. H. "M. PLAYFAIR (of H. M. Chinese Consular Service) sent a Wardian case of the Chinese plant to Kew "in 1878. The plants were propagated without difficulty and largely distributed to tropical colonies. "Unfortunately this brought us no nearer the solution of the difficulty. That the plant was different "to ordinary ginger was obvious. But plants of the ginger family, as is the case with many plants. "which are easily propagated by their rhizomes, are shy of flowering in cultivation, while their foliage "is all so much alike that it affords no adequate means of discrimination. The plant obstinately "refused to flower at Kew, as it also appears to have done in Ceylon, and there was nothing to do but "wait till some lucky chance as to conditions of growth in some colonial garden enabled Kew to be "furnished with the necessary material for identification ......

...

　　　"In December, 1888, we received the first authentic flowering specimen of the "Chinese Ginger" "from the Botanical Department, Jamaica. It was grown at the Hope Gardens, by the Superintendent, "Mr. HARRIS. This proved, as suspected by Mr. WATSON, to be an Alpinia, and also identical with "the Siam plant. It is in fact nothing more than the well known Alpinia Galanga.

　　　"Specimens received in the present year from the indefatigable correspondent of Kew in Dominica, "Dr. ALFORD NICHOLLS, F.L.S., confirm this result, and Mr. FORD, the Superintendent of the Botanical "and Afforestation Department, Hongkong, having flowered the plant in the Hongkong Botanic "Garden, arrives at the same conclusion."

　　　17. From this last quotation, it appears that one of the plants sent to England from Swatow and which had been forwarded to Jamaica flowered in the Botanic Gardens of that Colony in 1888. An- other plant of the same batch forwarded by Kew to the Ceylon Botanic Gardens has refused to flower there, but a plant passed on to me from Ceylon by Dr. TRIMEN in 1888 flowered freely last year and enabled me at once to see that it was Alpinia Galanga, Willd. I communicated this information to Mr. THISELTON DYER, and an extract from my letter was published in the Kew Bulletin in the article

The following is a copy of that portion of letter. "Chinese Ginger" above referred to.

my HONGKONG, July 10th 1890.

　　　"MY DEAR SIR,-The "Chinese Ginger" which you had at Kew, and sent to Ceylon, from "which Dr. TRIMEN, at my request, sent me a piece about two years ago, has just flowered with me, "and it is setting fruit. It turns out to be Alpinia Galanga. I shall have more particulars to write "about this when the fruit has matured, when I will write fully on the subject. Dr. TRIMEN informed "me that it would not fruit in Ceylon.

"W. T. THISELTON DYER, Esq., C.M.G."

Yours, &c.,

(Signed),

CHARLES FORD.

　　　18. The conclusion arrived at in the article in the Kew Bulletin is that Chinese preserved ginger is not obtained from the ginger plant, Zingiber Officinale, Linn., but from the rhizomes of Alpinia Galanga, Willd. The evidence which has led to this conclusion seems to be that Mr. PLAYFAIR sent from Swatow to Kew a case of plants, alleged to be Chinese ginger and which have turned out to be Alpinia Galanga, Willd. This evidence, however, has, I fear, afforded nothing of value, except of a negative nature, towards proving the source of preserved ginger. In my opinion nothing is really needed as I cannot see anything in the preserved ginger which would lead me to suppose that it is anything except the rhizomes of the ordinary ginger plant, Zingiber Officinale, Linn., which is cultivated so extensively by the Chinese in the neighbouring provinces. In 1886 when travelling through the delta south of Canton, I saw ginger extensively cultivated and flowering freely in the rich alluvial lands. I obtained complete specimens for the herbarium, and they were without doubt the true ginger plant.

19. The Chinese ginger is apparently more succulent and the rhizomes are of a larger size than the West Indian article, but there is no specific distinction in the plant.

20. I cannot but think that Mr. PLAYFAIR while endeavouring to render a useful service was the innocent agent of a wrong conclusion having been arrived at through the natives who supplied him with the plants, which were sent to Kew, having brought in the wrong kind. The natives themselves were also probably innocent of any intention to deceive, a mistake possibly having arisen from the Chinese name of true ginger being a generic name applied to different species and even to different genera of plants. The rhizomes of true ginger, Alpinias and Curcumas are all classed generically by the Chinese under the name "Keung." Zingiber Officinale, Linn., is "Tai Yuk Keung," Alpinia Galanga,

* A plant of this had been previously supplied (in 1886) by Kew Gardens to this establishment, but it unfortunately died on the passage out.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH JULY, 1891.

575

Willd., "Leung Keung," and Curcuma (turmeric) "Wong Keung." It is obvious, when these names are considered (as for brevity the word "Keung" only is often used), how easily a mistake may have occurred when dealing with a native engaged to procure roots. There is also another fact to show that the plants sent from Swatow would not be likely to afford evidence of much value in the investigation of the source of Chinese ginger. This article is not preserved at Swatow (which is 200 miles in a direct line from Canton) and it is not likely that it supplies raw material for preserving in the large establish- ments of Canton and Hongkong, as there is no information to show that it is exported to these places. I believe Canton and Hongkong are the only places where this preserve is made. It is not generally known that the Hongkong preserving establishments export largely to the United States. Of fresh ginger junks alone carried from Canton to Hongkong over six thousand piculs, (357 tons) last year. 21. The information on "Chinese Ginger furnished by the Kew Bulletin having reached China, and, as I understand, having been accepted, it will be useful to put on record this additional informa tion on the subject and to stimulate further inquiries by those who may have opportunities of affording authentic information and finally disposing of the question.

Sale of Plants.

24. $493.74 were collected for plants sold; this is an increase of $150 beyond the amount received in the previous year. Personally I should be glad if this branch of work did not exist, as, especially during the last year with such feeble clerical assistance as was provided, the business could not be conducted without very considerable inconvenience to myself and a loss of time which could ill be spared from other important work, and some inconvenience likewise fell upon the purchasers, but this was unavoidable and I considered it better to incur the inconvenience on all sides than entirely suspend sales, which I more than once felt strongly impelled to do. Many orders which would necessitate unusual care to properly execute, I was obliged to decline, amongst these were all orders from outside

576

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH JULY, 1891.

the Colony. Judging from plants sold and orders received, it seems that the system of plant sales meets a want of considerable extent, and that if suitable facilities could be created to supply the public with what they require the benefits which they receive by being able to get plants would be much extended. To be able to do this, however, there must be, besides suitable arrangements for growing plants, assistants with sufficient knowledge of plants and their names to be able to attend purchasers in making selections, and an indoor staff with a sufficient knowledge of simple book-keeping to be competent to keep the necessary accounts.

Loan of Plants for Decorative Purposes.

　　　25. There is also a considerable increase of requests preferred for the loan of plants to decorate ball-rooms, concert-rooms, &c., &c., and there is a tendency to extend their use for furnishing to private parties. It will be necessary, however, to somewhat restrict the concessions and confine the loan of plants to purely public entertainments, or to make a charge sufficient to cover the cost of growing plants for these special purposes. 24 requests for plants were complied with, 2,136 being the total number of plants lent. I should not be inclined to recommend any extension, but on the other hand would restrict the loan of plants, as there is already more work in the department than can be managed to my satisfaction with the assistance I have.

Visitors.

26. It is not generally known what a large number of visitors make use of the gardens. With a view to affording an idea of the number who frequent the gardens, I have made arrangements for having the visitors counted on two average days each month throughout this year, the result will be published with the next annual report. In the meantime I may say that the average number of visitors on one day in each month this year, so far as it has gone, has been Europeans 362, others 1,807, total 2,169. The greatest number was on April 8th, when there were 781 Europeans, and of others 3,541, total 4,322. The least number was on February 4th, when there were 213 Europeans The Chinese are those who attend the gardens in the greatest numbers. It appears that the number of visitors using the gardens is constantly increasing. The above numbers

and 779 others, total 992.

do not include children and their nurses.

HERBARIUM AND LIBRARY.

　　　27. There were absolutely no opportunities for making tours, even by natives, for collecting supplies of living plants for the gardens, or of making collections for the herbarium. There was, however, sufficient material on hand to provide work for the very little time which could be devoted to the dried collections. The work in the herbarium was confined to the drying and preservation of specimens of plants flowering in the gardens during the year for the first time, or which had not already been dried, and the mounting and incorporating in the collections in the cabinets of plants which had been on hand for some time. Of specimens put throughout their last stages and incorporated the number was 1,563.

29. Very much time has been devoted to the improvement of these grounds, which were in great need of improvement, but which funds hitherto did not provide for. As large a portion of the vote as could be spared was appropriated for the work. The soil in these grounds being so unfit for garden purposes was in several places removed, and replaced to a depth of about three feet with better material, and a large number of new plants and shrubs were afterwards planted. The grass lawns also which had become very thin and worn were relaid to a great extent.

　　30. The construction of the new ball-room necessitated the destruction of the finest true banian tree Ficus indica, in fact the only one of any size, which existed in the Colony, and much work in removing shrubs, turf, and soil was imposed on us at a much shorter notice than was convenient.

FORESTRY.

　　31. The lack of efficient clerical assistance necessitated too much of the routine work of the office being done by myself and thus prevented adequate supervision being exercised over out-door works. Operations which had already been begun when the office staff was rendered incomplete it was imper- ative to finish even with diminished supervision. What I had not time for had to be deputed to the Chinese head forester. Under these circumstances the suspension of works which would permit of it was unavoidable. The chief amongst other things which for this cause I had to relinquish was the inspection and selection of lands for rearing trees in situ-the method of rearing trees which constitutes two-thirds of the whole number reared and planted-so that the present year, when it is reported on, will show about 400,000 trees less planted than would have been under other circumstances. For the same reason the examination and inspection of the work of the Forest Guards, and the condition of older plantations was not nearly so complete as I could have desired it to be.

32. The portions of the island on which planted trees have attained to sufficient dimensions to catch the eye from adjacent or distant roads on which the public travel have effected a most marked and beautiful effect compared with the once barren and naked appearance of the hills. Only the older. residents who are of an observant nature can fully appreciate the great change which has been effected, but even those who are new to the Colony cannot fail to form a most favourable opinion of the enhanced beauties of scenery when they imagine what the treeless aspect of the hills was before re-afforestation. was taken in hand.

　　33. Besides the trees near promenades close to the town a walk of 3 miles from West Point out to Pok-fu-lam is sufficient to demonstrate to the most casual observer the very successful result of tree planting. All the trees to be seen from that road have been planted within the last 15 years, and most of them within 10 years. This is one instance out of numberless others which will illustrate the results of planting. Of course in the first days of planting a good deal of work had to be done experimentally, and for want of trained men work was naturally not so well done as could have been wished. Thus trees planted at altitudes above a zone varying, owing to exposure to wind, &c., from 700 feet to 900 feet altitude, do not encourage us to exceed those limits of elevation, while other patches show a lack of vigour owing to shallowness of soil which may be only a foot deep over solid granite. On the whole, however, where the above limits of altitude have not been exceeded the plan- tations have made very satisfactory progress, and in especially favoured localities the growth of the trees has been every thing which could be expected or desired in any place. As regards the average sizes of individual trees of which plantations are composed I may say that trees planted 18 years ago, near the Peak Road, are now 30 feet high, and 43 inches in circumference at 2 feet from the ground; trees planted 10 years ago at Causeway Bay are 23 feet high, and 24 inches in circumference, and trees planted 10

years ago near the Pok-fu-lam Road are 22 feet high, and 20 inches in circumference. The first-named plantation has been thinned twice and the two latter once each, the trees in these places now standing, without gaps, at distances of about 12 feet apart.

34. The plantations already made are composed of chiefly the common pine, Pinus sinensis, a tree which it was found to be the best kind to commence the work of afforestation with. In the first place, it is better suited to the various conditions under which it had to grow here than other trees yet tried, and its management being simpler than that of many other trees rendered it possible to deal with it in vast numbers-about half a million trees being added yearly-with a staff that, in the early days, consisted of ordinary raw coolies only. Even now the same may be said of the staff of foresters with the exception of one man who has been trained to be a foreman. Under these circumstances and with the poor material to work with, only the simpler methods of forestry could be undertaken, but now that large areas available or suitable for elementary planting have become scarce, it might be worth while to further develop forestry work, which however could only be done successfully by the improvement of the controlling staff which should possess an adequate amount of technical knowledge

and have had the benefit of education and training sufficient for the work to be accomplished.

With such assistance the general effect of the landscapes might be much improved by the introduction of trees of different characters to the somewhat monotonous pine.

35. The kinds of trees to be selected for this object would be species possessing foliage of as great a variety of size, form and colouring in the different shades of green while in health, and of autumn tints while deciduous trees would be shedding their leaves. It is possible that such trees might now be reared within the influence of shelter afforded by pine trees which have attained sufficient size to afford protection from winds that in the early days swept the hills and effectually prevented the growth of trees less hardy than the pine. This assistance is needed also on account of the yearly increasing distances which have to be traversed in supervision, and also by the addition of new work necessitated by the extension and development of plantations. The maintenance of upwards of 60 miles of fire barriers which have to be inspected and the work done on them measured yearly is itself a severe task, besides the marking out of new lines required each season. Annual thinnings of plantations as new ones become ready for the work each year also require the expenditure of much labour and time in direction and supervision. All these things point to the desirability of a somewhat superior equipped staff if good work is to be continued and the plantations properly maintained and improved.

Planting Operations.

36. The number of trees planted and reared on the hills was 556,982 as compared with 601,211 in the previous year. The statistics are given in the appendix. Actual planting operations were per- formed with the usual success, but a few weeks after the planting was finished Tristanea and Crypto- meria trees were attacked and suffered considerably by white ants; these attacks lasted for a few weeks only before the trees had recovered their usual vigour after having been disturbed in their removal.

Protective Service.

37. There were 85 cases brought before the Police Magistrates by the Forest Guards, as

compa with 49 in the previous year, out of these 85 cases 69 convictions were obtained, 12 paying fines which amounted in the aggregate to $26, and 57 prisoners went to gaol.

　　　38. The area of plantations has greatly extended since the 3 forest guards were established, and as offences likewise increase the number of forest guards needs augmentation to keep in check the numerous petty pilferers of trees and shrubs. When the number of forest guards can be increased it would be advisable to establish some of them in distant parts of the island, if suitable quarters can be found and arrangements made, instead of working them daily from their present quarters at the gardens as too much time is now occupied in walking to and from far away localities.

Grass Fires.

39. Fires were exceptionally numerous and the destruction of trees by them was greater than in any previous year, in fact the reported fires were more numerous than the total number of fires recorded for the previous 10 years. The number of fires recorded in 1890 is 64. After my return from Japan I visited the scenes of fires where trees had been destroyed or damaged and made a rough estimate of the quantity destroyed, the total number of which is 107,000 varying in size from 1 foot up to 8 feet high. On Mount Davis about 49,000, and on Mount Kellet 47,000 trees were destroyed, the remainder, 11,000, were in numerous other places scattered over the island. Although it is impossible to detect the originators of the fires, except very rarely indeed, there is no doubt whatever that the system of ancestral worshipping at tombs by the natives is the main, or almost exclusive, cause of these fires, no care whatever,.apparently, being exercised to prevent the fire used from igniting the grass. The large burial places on Mounts Kellet and Davis were the reason of the exceptionally heavy losses on those hills, the smaller losses being also caused by the existence of isolated graves on smaller cemeteries near to villages. Nearly all the fires took place in October when the autumn ancestral worship takes place, and the exceptionally numerous and extensive fires were the result of the very combustible condition of the low vegetation brought about by the excessively dry weather in September and October.

　　　40. As remedial measures for the future I propose in addition to the ordinary precautions adopted of stationing men in the vicinity of burial grounds all over the island to extinguish fires which may occur at the spring and autumn tomb ceremonies, to post during those seasons notices cautioning the people to exercise care in the use of crackers, candles, &c., and to increase the number and extent of fire barriers in plantations near large cemeteries, so that the plantations will be divided up into smaller blocks to which fires that may arise within them may be confined. Nothing connected with the origin of grass fires or of objects to be gained by them is known which might occasion any suspicion that they may have been acts of incendiarism.

Thinning of Plantations and Removal of Brushwood.

41. The brushwood in various places near the town or adjacent to roads where it had become somewhat dense was operated on throughout the year and about 1,200 piculs were removed and sold, the purchaser doing the work at his own cost and paying besides a small sum for the material removed. 42. Trees in streets and roads were systematically pruned and reduced to shape and to suitable dimensions, the prunings being likewise sold. This work, however, unlike the removal the brush- wood, can only be performed by foresters who have some acquaintance with the proper way of doing the work.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH JULY, 1891.

579

43. Plantations in the western districts, and near to Bowen and Kennedy Roads, in which the trees had attained sizes when permanent trees would be injured by having others growing too near them were thinned, after the trees were marked by foresters, by the contractor who bought the thin- nings. Epwards of 16,000 trees were thus removed and sold.

44. The revenue obtained from the sale of forestry products was $547.34.

45. Plantations should be thinned, as a rule, when they are ab?ut 10 years old, and as this is the eleventh year since planting was begun on a large scale, the plantations will demand each year henceforth very considerable extra attention to their requirements, which, as I have said above, it will be difficult or impossible to give with the present overworked staff unless some other things which should be carried on simultaneously are perinitted to suffer.

Burial Grounds.

46. The hygienic treatment of burial grounds being under the consideration of the Government it may serve a useful purpose to keep in prominent view the important position which arborescent and other vegetation should occupy in any scheme that may be devised for sanitary or asthetic improve- ments of the cemeteries of the Colony.

　　47. The action of the roots of plants being to convert into health-giving, living, vegetable matter the decomposing animal and vegetable substances of the soil, and the functions of the leaves of plants. being to absorb injurious gases which emanate from the soil, there can be no doubt that provision should be made for the encouragement of the growth of vegetation in the forms of trees, shrubs, and grass-turf around and within all burial grounds.

　　48. In 1876 I planted the old Chinese Cemetery near Belcher's Bay, and since that time I have planted lands wherever practicable close up to the boundaries of cemeteries, but on account of some real or imaginary objection of the Chinese to trees being planted within the grave-yards none have been placed there since 1876. However, if proper places could be found for trees, there would pro- bably not be even sentimental objections to them. Therefore in any contemplated improvements or extensions of cemeteries it would seem most desirable to include in the schemes due provision for the introduction of trees, &c., which might serve the double purpose of assimilating unhealthy matter and of screening the grounds from view from without their limits.

Planting of the Gathering Grounds of Reservoirs.

　　49. In C.S.O. No. 1243 I suggested that the opinion of the Honourable OSBERT CHADWICK might be obtained on the subject of planting lands within the gathering grounds of reservoirs, and at the request of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government Mr. CHADWICK submitted the opinion as follows, which I think it would be useful to record in this place:-

"1. I see no objection to the planting of Bamboos along the road leading from the Peak Tramway "to Craigieburn. Indeed, I believe that it will be beneficial to the water supply, by tending to con- "solidate the soil.

　　"2. I am of opinion that planting may be carried on within the gathering grounds of reservoirs "without prejudice to the quality of the water.

　　"3. My experience in the West Indies leads me to this conclusion. The gathering ground from "which the St. George's Waterworks, Grenada, derives its supply, is a dense tropical forest; so much

so that a cutlass is required to make a way through it. Nevertheless the water is excellent.

"4. The following is an extract. from a report on the analysis of two samples of water from this source by the Professor of Chemistry and Agricultural Science at Barbados.

　　"5. The chemical examination shewed that both these waters are soft waters and of great purity. "The minute proportion of chlorine nitrogea in nitrites, ammonia, albuminoid ammonia and the absence

of phosphates in both samples prove that, they are not contaminated with sewage or manurial filth. "No. 2 is slightly the purer of the two being free from almost all traces of vegetable matter.

"And I consider both these waters to be of very high organic purity and well suited for a town supply. "6. I am of opinion that moderate planting within the Pok-fu-lam gathering ground will be "beneficial to the water supply by consolidating the ground and thus neutralising the evils which have "arisen from the extensive earth movements within this area.

　　"7. The plants suitable for the purpose will be those of rapid growth having strong and compact "roots which will consolidate the ground and tend to strain out clay and mud brought down by the

rain.

8. The most suitable places for planting are:-

"a. Slopes of made-ground especially near to the toe.

"b. The margin of the rivulets and water courses which feed the reservoir.

"c. The margin of the paths, especially on the lower side, and near to the points where the

"rain flows off from their surfaces.

　　"9. I do not recommend planting in the immediate vicinity of the reservoir itself, where the leaves "could be blown into the water; say within 100 yards from the reservoir.

　　"10. Bamboos will no doubt be suitable and could be quickly established. The bamboo-grass "also might be tried. It will be well also to restore the natural dwarf scrub if it will grow again. "The ordinary fir, planted in moderation in clumps here and there, would be suitable. It would be "well to avoid trees which have large deciduous leaves.

HONGKONG, 15th June, 1891.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward my Annual Report for the year 1890, and regret the unavoid- able delay caused by the difficulty in making up some of the returns. This report, with the Tables attached, shows the work done in the Medical Department under my supervision; also I forward reports from the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, the Medical Officer in charge of the Gaol and the Government Analyst.

POLICE.

The admissions to Hospital show a small decrease, being 582 as compared with 590 in 1889. The deaths are 7 as compared with 14 in 1889; of this number 5 died in Hospital: 1 European, 2 Indians and 2 Chinese. Two died out of Hospital. 1 European was found drowned off Government Wharf during the night. 1 Indian was using an old shell as a chopping block; the shell was loaded and exploding blew him to pieces severely injuring another Indian Constable who was looking on.

　　　The admissions to Hospital from the various sections of the Police Force for the last ten years are given in the following table :-

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

The Superintendent furnishes a very able report on the working of this Institution and too much very efficient credit cannot be given to him for the many improvements he has carried out and for the and energetic performance of his arduous duties.

　　　I have much pleasure in saying he has now a really good working staff to assist him. Dr. Lowson, the new Assistant Superintendent, has proved himself to be a very able, energetic and willing Officer in the performance of his duties.

　　　The arrival of the new Nursing Staff has also proved a great boon to the Hospital. Miss EASTMOND, the Matron, with five trained Sisters do the greatest credit to the Hospitals from which they came and by their skill and kindness have earned the good-will of all with whom they came in contact; they have all been most diligent and willing in the performance of their duties so far.

　　　The new Senior Wardmaster, Mr. STEVENSON, and two trained Wardmasters all of whom were obtained from the Military Department stationed in this Colony, have proved themselves thoroughly capable Officers. This portion of the staff has been a source of considerable trouble in past years, but is now, I hope, established on a satisfactory basis.

　　　With the above supervision we have had much less trouble with the Chinese portion of the Nursing Staff.

　　　Mr. CROW, Senior Apothecary and Government Analyst, has ably carried out his duties and assisted by Mr. LUCAS, the new Assistant Apothecary, effected many improvements in the Hospital Dispensary. It has been a source of great satisfaction to me that we have so capable a successor to Mr. WATSON, the late Assistant Apothecary. The two Chinese Student Apothecaries have worked diligently and will be and are now of very great assistance in this Department.

His place was not easily filled Mr. ROGERS, the Steward, has returned from a well-earned leave. and his absence very inuch felt. His substitute, the late Mr. WYLIE, whose unfortunate death was much regretted was a most willing and energetic, trustworthy Officer and in spite of his inexperience carried out the duties very well, with the help of the two Chinese Clerks who are thoroughly good at their work.

The quarters for the European Nursing Staff are not yet finished and that for the Chinese is only just being handed over. All of them have suffered considerably from sickness during the past year due to the want of proper accommodation. I hope the end of this year will see us out of these troubles.

The admissions to Hospital show a very considerable increase this year, and this is nearly entirely due to the great increase in private paying patients and the demand is greatly in excess of the capacity of this portion of the Establishment. To supply very many who would have been glad to be in the first class of paying patients have had to be content with second class accommodation, and many have had to be turned away. The thoroughly efficient trained Nursing Staff has greatly increased this demand. Many people, who under the former system of half-trained European and Chinese Nurses would never have thought of applying for accommodations, are now anxious to be received.

The following Table shows the number and classification of those brought to Hospital for the past nine years:-

The percentage of deaths to total admissions (5.00) is a little above the average of the past ten years and is due to the number of cases of fatal injuries received and moribund cases.

The total amount of fees received was $16,115.32, an increase of $4,670.83 as compared with last year (1889).

The Superintendent's Report contains some very interesting remarks concerning his experiences in the treatment of Malarial Fever and Dysentery, and he has earnestly entered into the study of the diseases that are common to this climate.

The necessity of increased accommodation for private paying patients has led to several proposals. First. One from the Unofficial Members of Council that a portion of the New Quarters for the Medical and Nursing Staff should be applied to this purpose.

This building has been much reduced from its original plans as far as accommodation is concerned and only barely meets the requirements of the present staff. It has been costly but I regret to say only as regards outside show. The huge finely-cut granite verandahs and retaining walls which must have cost nearly two-thirds of the expenditure on this building add nothing to either its comfort or security, and there would have been an equal amount of both with an expenditure of less than half the money for material and labour if retaining walls of the foundations had been rough-cut granite and the verandahs had been brick.

Supposing there was some room to spare, as I wished, in case of necessity for increase in the staff in the future, it would be most undesirable to employ it for that purpose. It is most desirable that the staff when off duty, though close at hand if their services are wanted, should be entirely removed from the Hospital atmosphere which would not be the case if wards were made in this building. And in the hot months when the work is hardest we have had at least a third of the Staff, European and Chinese, down with sickness. It was to obviate this that these quarters were sanctioned and also quarters for the Chinese Staff which are now finished.

　　Again, this building is 290 yards from the main Hospital Buildings, which would require for wards in them a separate Nursing Staff, European or Chinese, cooks and coolies for cleaning, this would mean a great increase in expenses as necessary addition to the Nursing Staff, &c.

The second proposal which Dr. ATKINSON makes in his report has also much to be said against, that is, to make private wards in the new Lock Hospital. This is another building whose external adornements have very much increased its expense without in any way adding to its comfort or secu- rity. It was built entirely with a view to accommodate native patients. Behind it towers the main building of the Government Civil Hospital, its roof rising to a level with the basement of that building. On the other three sides, it is surrounded with Chinese houses whose roofs rise to a level with its base- ment. It is therefore not so airy or so cool as any other of the Hospital buildings, and the odours from the Chinese houses are sometimes appalling especially when shark-fins and other fish, &c. are being dried on their roofs. This would in no way incommode the native patients for whom it was intended but would disgust any European especially in ill health. I regret to say that the new staff of Nursing Sisters have their temporary quarters in this building and have suffered very much from the inconveniences described. Therefore I cannot recommend it being diverted from the uses for which it was intended and for which it is much wanted though now no longer Lock Hospital but for voluntary patients.

　　The proposal Dr. ATKINSON and myself have since made will be, in all ways, the most economical. Buildings of one storey high have been sanctioned for much needed store rooms, compradores' rooms, &c., and we have recommended that two stories should be added to these buildings for private wards this would not interfere with the circulation of air in the other building, would be airy and pleasant itself, would require hardly any increase of staff and would cost very little more than alterations in the other buildings and I sincerely hope this recommendation may be granted. I may here state the Medical Department is in no way responsible for the costly establishments I have described. We are only consulted on accommodation required, and our opinions have often been over-ridden to the ultimate increase of cost to Government.

SMALL-POX HOSPITAL.

Only two cases were admitted this year, and both recovered.

See Table VII.

　　For some weeks this winter, there was a dearth of vaccine lymph in the Colony both the supplies from Home and Japan were delayed. Our proposed Vaccine Establishment for the production of calf lymph has not been constructed, the site was only selected a few weeks ago; but I hope it will be in working order next winter.

There is a considerable decrease in the number of admissions, 3,444, compared with 3,705 admis- sions in 1889, with a decrease of 15 in the daily average of prisoners in the Gaol. The mendicant class and petty offences furnishing the chief course of admission.

Table IX shows the number of prisoners admitted to Hospital.

Table XI shows the rate of sickness and mortality among the prisoners. There were 362 admis- sions to Hospital as compared with 244 in 1889, and six deaths, there were two other deaths occur- ring in the cells, 2 Chinese committed suicide by hanging.

Table XIA shows the number of Opium Smokers admitted during the year, their ages, the length of time they have controlled the habit, the daily consumption of the drug, their weights on admission and during the first month of detention. The habit is entirely ignored, and no special treatment given for a cure.

There were 12 patients admitted during the year: 9 Europeans, 2 Coloured and 1 Chinese.

tion.

No cases were admitted to the Small-pox Wards of this Hospital.

2,515 Vaccinations were performed successfully by the Public Vaccinator attached to this Institu-

The number of out-patients treated was 173,720.

LOCK HOSPITAL.

This establishment is still in the two houses hired for the purpose pending the completion of the building in progress for the Government Civil Hospital Nursing Staff, &c. as already described.

The rent of these building cost $840 a year, besides very considerable expenses to render them at all suitable for the purposes, for incessant repairs, for redrainage, &c., &c., so I shall be very glad when this is removed to the New Hospital which has so long been built and used for other purposes for which, as I have described, it is not at all appropriate.

I regret that the Matron was absent on leave this year at the same time as the Steward of the Hospital was absent on leave. The consequence of which the table of attendances for this year are not quite reliable, many mistakes were unavoidably made by people entirely new to the work. Mrs. FOORD, who was Acting Matron, was most zealous and willing in the performance of her duties, cannot in any way be held responsible and I have much pleasure in recording that there were no complaints. Her little patients always being in good humour and satisfied with her kind treatment of them.

The attendance has been better at the Voluntary examinations and I think even better than has been recorded.

* September 1st, 1887-The Compulsory attendance was abolished.

The number of registered women under the Protection of Women's Ordinance in the registered houses has slightly increased. The attendances at Hospital at the voluntary examinations have been more regular in proportion than in any year since the abolition of compulsory attendance, and I think was even better than these returns indicate for the reasons previously mentioned.

The number of cases admitted to Hospital were 82 as against 83 in 1889, and were all of a mild type. Several of the women, discharged from Hospital at their own request with sores only just healed, returned to Hospital because the mistress of the brothel desired them to receive visitors.

Three of the registered women, who were suffering from attacks of Malarial fever, preferred to be treated in this Hospital rather than in the General Female Ward of the Government Civil Hospital as they had friends among the other patients and as they could have a separate ward there was no objection. All this shows confidence and appreciation of the treatment they receive. They are no longer ordered to attend. No one sees them except the Matron, and the Amah who acts as interpreter as well as general attendant, and myself at my daily morning visit when both Matron and Amah are present. No returns are now sent in by the Navy, which is to be regretted as it upsets the statistics of many years.

The Military Hospital shows a decrease int he admission of venereal cases of 33 as compared with 1889. The Police, an increase of 4.

The Government Civil Hospital, an increase of 21.

　　Table E gives the admissions to the male wards of the different Hospitals of venereal cases of different classes of disease, with the totals of the past four years for comparison.

　　Table E 3 gives the number of the Military suffering from constitutional form of venereal disease. There were 53 as compared with 72 in 1889, a decrease of 19.

HEALTH OF THE COLONY.

The number of deaths among the European and American residents was 95 as compared with 93 in 1889. This raises the percentage from 3.06 in 1889 to 3.12 in 1890.

There has been no epidemic form of disease during the past year.

　　　The above Table is a similar one and shows the deaths from the same classes of disease amongst the Chinese for the same period (eighteen years), both these tables illustrate the improved condition of things as regards sanitation in the Colony.

One thing more I desire to draw attention to as regards the Medical Department is a comparison of the work required of its Staff as compared with that of all other Departments, and the benefits received by them as compared with the Officers of other Departments.

Every other Department has its stated hours of work for its Officers not increased unless in very exceptional circumstances which are of very rare occurrence. The Medical and many other Officers of this Department are liable and are continually being called upon at all hours night and day, and can call no hour their own. The work done is three times greater all round in this Department" than it was when I joined eighteen years ago.

In every other Department an Officer can find a substitute to do his duty when away on leave without any very extra hardship for the substitute and greatly to his benefit by increased For

pay. short leave, as there are only five Medical Officers, this can be managed but the substitute has a very considerable increase of work and anxiety and no benefit whatever. For long leave an outsider has to be found to the considerable loss of the Officer taking leave. None of the Medical Officers are capable of acting for any Officer in other Departments or obtaining the benefits received by doing so in increased pay.

　　　　　　　For instance, I have seen since I have been in the Colony one Officer holding the following acting appointments at different times:-" Acting" Magistrate, Harbour Master, Registrar General, Captain Superintendent of Police, Superintendent of Victoria Gaol, Colonial Secretary and Administrator, and by these acting appointments adding very considerably to his pay, not possible to a Medical Officer.

The Medical Officers are compelled to live in the Central District of the town as near as possible to their duties and cannot derive any benefits from residence on the upper levels or at the Peak.

When the increase of salaries for the different Departments was under consideration this year, the Secretary of State was of opinion, owing to alterations, new appointments, &c., no increase of pay was necessary in this Department, but at my representation, individual Officers were allowed to pre sent their cases to the Secretary of State for further consideration.

As a fact many of the Officials though newly appointed are not paid in proportion to the increased work they have to do and the pay their predecessors received for much less work. As the oldest Officer in this Department, I am $3,000 a year worse off than when I joined this Service. What I have said has no reference whatever to the lowered rates of exchange of late years.

The Doctor, without reference to the many hours he has been on duty, is expected to present an alert and cheerful appearance, to be sympathetic, courteous and kindly in his manner, gentle and skilful in the handling of his patients. When he has probably been many hours over the twenty-four without sleep and in much anxiety and mental worry over many cases he has in charge, yet from Government downwards when it comes to pay, the Doctor is the last person to be considered. Though when he is wanted no one is more anxiously looked for or is received with greater delight and relief.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

The Honourable W. M. GoODMAN,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Your obedient Servant,

PH. B. C. AYRES,

Colonial Surgeon.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH JULY, 1891.

Enclosure 1.

Report from the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 2nd April, 1891.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward the Annual Report for the year 1890 with the Hospital Statistics.

I. THE HOSPITAL BUILDINGS.

1. The Main portion of the Hospital has been improved by the alteration of the female ward which provides accommodation for four more female patients.

2. In the New Wing a portion of one of the wards has been divided into cubicals in order to some extent to meet the increasing need of further accommodation for private patients to which I shall have occasion again to refer.

　　　3. The new Barracks, situated to the West of the Main block, for the Chinese attendants the foundations of which I reported as having been commenced in my annual report of last year, are now nearly completed and I hope before long to be able to move the Chinese attendants into this building. When this is done their present inadequate and insanitary quarters should be demolished.

4. With reference to the recommendations contained in my report for last year provision has been made in this year's Estimates for increased Office and Store accommodation on the site of the old Mortuary which has been removed since the completion of the new Mortuary. Also provision has been made in the Estimates for providing better facilities for the distribution of hot water. I therefore hope in my next annual report to be able to refer to both these much needed improvements as com- pleted.

With regard to the laundry nothing has yet been definitely decided upon but a site eminently suitable for the erection of a small laundry will be available on the removal of the existing Chinese attendants' quarters referred to in paragraph 3.

5: I have again to report a considerable increase in the number of private patients availing them- selves of this Institution. The extension of the accommodation for patients of this class therefore becomes year by year one of greater urgency if this Institution is to keep pace with the public require- ments in this respect.

As a temporary measure, one of the wards in the New Wing has been utilised for this purpose. However the dividing-up of a room not originally constructed with this object in view has proved anything but satisfactory. I cannot recommend that this temporary arrangement should in any way become a permanency.

The cubicals are deficient in light and air and from a medical point of view are less satisfactory than the long open wards, but their retention seems absolutely necessary until some more fitting accom- modation is provided, the private patients in the majority of cases objecting to occupy the large wards. Not only have I been unable on many occasions as reported last year to provide private patients with the accommodation requested but have been actually compelled through want of room to refuse patients admission desirious of being treated in this Hospital. This fact is not to be wondered at in face of what I have previously reported when the following statistics are noted, viz.:

First Class patients, Second Class patients,

1890.

These figures with what has already been stated show that with the present accommodation the greatest number possible have been provided for.

The great increase in the number of private paying patients shows that the efforts the Govern- ment have made to provide for the sick, who though able and willing to pay cannot procure the necessary comforts at their own residences, have been appreciated and when it is considered that it has been found beneficial in some of the larger hospitals at home to make special arrangements to provide for this class of patients I cannot but think the desirability of meeting the increased demands here, in a Colony where in many cases it is absolutely impossible to obtain even the simplest necessaries for the sick outside the Hospital, especially urges itself upon the attention of Government.

6. No steps have as yet been taken with reference to closing Hospital Road to traffic between the hours of 8 P.M. and 8 A.M.; this would be a great boon as the noise made by the coolies particularly in the early morning still continues a source of discomfort to the patients.

7. I am aware that considerable difficulties exist in extending the existing Hospital buildings. The Hospital enclosure in now so closely built over that further buildings than those already arranged for in close proximity to the existing ones, even where possible to erect them, would not in my opinion be desirable if any other practical course can be atlopted for providing the additional accom- modation necessary.

　　　On the other hand it is imperative with a view to efficient and economical maintenance that the several wards should be readily accessible from the various administration offices. With these consider- ations in mind I beg to submit for your most earnest consideration that the building at present occupied

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH JULY, 1891.

605

as temporary quarters for some of the Staff, pending the completion of the additional Officers' Quarters, on the completion of the latter should be utilised for providing the necessary increased accommodation for private paying patients.

II.-SMALL-POX HOSPITAL.

8. The temporary small-pox buildings remain as before.

9. The Hospital ship Hygeia is, I understand, progressing towards completion.

III.-ADDITIONAL OFFICERS' QUARTERS.

10. This building situated at the corner of High Street and Eastern Street is approaching com- pletion and provides for the accommodation of ten officers as well as a large analytical laboratory and store room.

IV. HOSPITAL PREMISES.

　　11. 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, as well as 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, have been provided for in this year's Estimates.

I hope therefore that these much needed improvements will not remain any longer in abeyance. During the past year the drainage of the entire Hospital premises which for soine time past had been in an unsatisfactory condition has been thoroughly overhauled and practically reconstructed.

　　The drains and soil pipes previously passing through the interior of the building have been placed outside and the interior sanitary fittings generally removed and improved.

The insecurity of the premises on the North side admitting of the easy ingress and egress to and from the hospital premises without the fact being brought to the knowledge of the Hospital porter still exists, thus materially affecting Hospital discipline.

V. THE HOSPITAL STAFF.

past year thanks are due to Dr. Lowson for the able way in which he has assisted me during the

without his help it would have been impossible for me to have got through the work.

LUCAS having arrived from England entered on the duties of the Assistant Apothecary on the 16th of February and has proved an able successor to Mr. Watson.

14. Mr. ROGERS returned from leave on the 5th January.

VI. THE NURSING STAFF.

15. Amongst the Nursing Staff I have to record the loss of Wardmaster CHAPMAN who resigned on the 31st May to enter on other employment in the Colony. It is somewhat to be regretted that an officer holding the position of Senior Wardmaster should resign after so short a service (16 months). On the 2nd of June J. STEVENSON, late Sergeant of A. M. Staff Corps, was appointed to fill the vacancy thus caused. From the opportunities I have had of seeing his work he appears to be assiduous in the performance of his duties and possessed of a thorough knowledge of the work required of him.

16. I also have to report the resignation of the staff of French Sisters after 12 months' service and though as pointed out by you in your report of last year they were unable to perform the various duties required of them I wish to place on record my indebtedness to them for the willing assistance they rendered in many ways during the short time they were here.

17. On the 7th of November a Matron and five Sisters previously trained in London Hospitals all of whom have had considerable experience in the duties connected with nursing the sick in large Hospitals joined the Nursing Staff of this Institution and from the experience I have had during the past five months I anticipate that their assistance will materially add not only to the comfort of the patients under treatment but to the efficiency of this Institution.

For the present they occupy the quarters previously temporarily occupied by the French Sisters but I look forward to the early completion of the new building and the provision of better accommo- dation for them.

VII-CHINESE NURSING STAFF.

18. I have again to report that the Chinese attendants have suffered more from sickness than they ought to have done, and I cannot but think that this is in a large measure due to the insanitary build- ings which they are compelled to occupy and I hope, as the new quarters will shortly be ready, in my next annual report to be able to record an improved state of health amongst them.

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

VIIb. The aggregate monthly number of patients visited in the Hospital daily for the last three

From the foregoing it will be seen :-

　　　(i.) That the number of patients under treatment during the year was 1,957, an increase of 164 as compared with that of the previous year; the total number of deaths was 98 a percentage of 5.00. This is a slight increase on that of the two previous years and is accounted for by the greater number of moribund cases brought in to the Hospital, no less than 42 out of the 98 deaths occurred within forty-eight hours of the patients' admission, 39 of these occurring within the first twenty-four hours ; and also by the more serious nature of the Injuries admitted, there being 25 deaths under this heading as against 16 in last year. (Vide Table V, iv Injuries).

　　　(ii.) 6,332 out-patients were attended to during the year, these consist principally of minor surgery cases-scalp wounds, lacerated and contused wounds, dog-bites and minor medical cases.

(iii.) Owing to the greater number of females presenting themselves for admission the Female Ward had to be enlarged; during the year 124 females were admitted, an increase of 35 as compared with that of the previous year. Five of these were difficult obstetric cases.

　　　(iv.) There were 8 less Police admitted than during the previous year, taking the different na- tionalities it will be seen that there was a decrease of 17 European, an increase of 24 Indian and a decrease of 15 Chinese Police.

This year only one European Policeman died from the Malignant Remittent Fever which we always get in the summer seasons, this diminished mortality may to a certain extent be due to a more intimate acquaintance with this serious type of malarial fever.

　　　(v.) Two cases of choleraic diarrhoea were admitted, these both recovered; there was no true case of cholera.

　　　(vi.) Dysentery contributed 106 cases with 7 deaths, a mortality of 6.6 per cent, a diminution both in mortality and number of cases as compared with the previous year.

　　　In the appendix are described some cases of dysentery treated with Arsenite of copper; this remedy has been recommended by various writers during the past year, more particularly by Dr. J. SWAN in the Medical Bulletin for August, 1890.

In certain cases this remedy has certainly proved very efficacious, my later experience however does not altogether confirm the favourable opinion I bad at first formed of this drug, a more extended series of trials are necessary before any definite opinion can be formed as to its power of curing this disease. Its advantages compared with the usual treatment by Ipecacuanha are that you never get the distressing vomiting so often experienced after the administration of large doses of Ipecacuanha with the resulting depression, and in some cases it has proved successful when Ipecacuanha has seemingly failed. (vii.) Malarial fever contributed 374 cases as against 423 last year with 4 deaths, a mortality of 1.06 per cent. This disease was neither so prevalent nor so fatal as in 1889. There were, however, as usual some very severe cases of remittent fever, the notes of one of the most interesting of which is given in the appendix.

　　　An extended trial of the various new antipyretics, viz., phenacetin, antifebrin, and antipyrin, has been made in the treatment of the fever stage of this disease and the conclusion we have arrived at is that antipyrin is the most certain, ten-grain doses administered hourly generally brings the temperature down to normal in four doses, in the severer cases of intermittent fever twenty-grain doses administered hourly for two hours will bring the temperature down quicker but there is often found with these larger doses a tendency to vomit and symptoms of cardiac depression. Phenacetin takes much longer to lower the temperature but does not produce vomiting. Antipyrin has often proved useful when both phenacetin and antifebrin have failed.

year.

(viii.) There were 11 cases of beri-beri admitted with 3 deaths, as against 16 cases in the previous

(ix.) VENEREAL DISEASES.-A still further increase is to be noted in this class of diseases 266 having been admitted during the year, this is more than double the number under treatment in 1888, the greater majority of the cases, namely, 200 were those suffering from chancres molles and gonorrhoea. (x.) There were 363 cases classed under Injuries, as against 314 in the previous year. These were of a much more serious nature than usual as shown by the greater number of deaths, included in these were six cases of revolver wounds admitted from the S.S. Namoa on the 11th December, these all recovered with the exception of one. This case was in a moribund condition on admission and only lived a few minutes, the unfortunate man having been shot through the abdomen.

XI. SURGICAL OPERATIONS.

607

HEPATIC ABSCESS.-There were no cases operated on during the year, the one fatal case was operated on in the previous year and the particulars were published in last year's report.

Two other cases were under treatment, these both recovered the abscesses bursting through the lungs. MAJOR AMPUTATIONS.-There were nine during the year, one of the thigh, four of the leg and four of the forearm, with three deaths, in two of these the fatal result was due to the excessive hamorrhage which had occurred before the patient's admission, in the third the patient though fre- quently urged had refused to give his consent until gangrene had set in and then amputation was simply performed as a dernier ressort, in this case there had been extensive injury to the ankle and foot. The only other point worthy of note is the greater number of gunshot wounds admitted, six out of the eleven however came from the S.S. Namoa. Of these six two were Malays, two Chinamen and two European officers, of the Malays one (referred to in paragraph X) died shortly after admission, the other was shot through the hip the bullet having entered anteriorly midway between the anterior superior spine of the ilium and the pubes, it passed through the ilium and emerged close to the left sacroiliac joint, this case was somewhat protracted owing to the extensive injury to the bone, ultimately however he made a good recovery.

The two Chinamen were shot through the thigh, in one the bullet had to be extracted, in neither of these cases fortunately was the bone or important vessels injured.

In the case of the two European officers, both were shot through the right forearm. In one the bullet entered on the posterioraspect of the wrist close to the lower end of the ulna, passed up the forearm between the two bones and emerged in the inner side just below the elbow, intense cellulitis supervened, free incisions were made, ultimately the patient was discharged with free use of his limb. In the other case the bullet passed right through the lower end of the forearm just above the wrist joint and seriously injured the lower end of the radius, severe ostitis set in with synovitis of the wrist joint and several counter incisions had to be made; eventually these all healed, but I fear this patient will have more or less impaired use of that joint.

　　(xii.) FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS.-There were 45 cases as against 19 last year with two deaths, one of these being that of a Chinamen, cet. 78, with fracture of the neck of the femur, the cause of death being evidently exhaustion; the other was one of compound fracture of the forearm caused by dynamite explosion, in this case the patient was admitted in a state of collapse brought on by excessive haemorrhage which had occurred, he died a few hours after ad?nission.

The cases were as follows:-

Compound Fracture of the frontal bone....................

　　(xiii.) ALCOHOLISM.-There was a large increase in this class of cases, there being 74 admitted as against 44 in the previous year.

　　POISONING. There were 21 cases under treatment as against 11 in the previous year, with one exception the agent used was opium and eleven proved fatal.

　　20. SMALL-POX.-There were only two cases under treatment in the Temporary Small-Pox Hos- pital, these both recovered.

21. There were 30 Post Mortem Examinations made during the year.

22. In an appendix are the notes of some cases of medical and surgical interest.

　　23. The total amount of fees received from patients during the year was $16,115.32; of this the Board of Trade paid $2,414.50 and the Police $1,128.76. This is an increase of $4,670.83 on that of the previous year or two-fifths as much again.

　　I take this opportunity of again thanking the several members of the staff for the assistance rendered during the past year and I have also to record my indebtedness to many residents of this Colony for the interest they have taken in the patients under my charge and for the numerous visits, presents of books, newspapers, flowers, &c. they have made to the Institution.

Appendix A.

CASE OF REMITTENT FEVER, HIGH TEMPERATURE, ABSCESS OF

SPLEEN, RECOVERY.

The most interesting of the fever cases during 1890 was that of P. C. JAMES ALEXANDER. He was admitted on the 5th of June, suffering from Intermittent Fever and Enlarged Spleen.

The splenic dulness was enlarged and the spleen could be felt just below the border of the ribs. His temperature for four days previous had been going up to 101° F. or so in the afternoons. This was his first attack of fever.

He had a 5 grain pill of quinine thrice daily to start with and ung: hydrarg: biniodid: to rub in over the enlarged spleen. On the 6th he had a 5 grain quinine pill every four hours, but as this did not have any effect on the fever, he had one every hour on the 9th. His bowels all this time had to be regulated by aperients; while antipyrin had also to be given when the temperature was high. On the afternoon of the 15th, it went up to 104.6, and after this the fever became decidedly remittent in character, bilious vomiting being rather severe. On the 14th, he commenced to take gr. 10 of quinine every hour when his temperature was below 100° F. At this stage the quinine could only be kept down after the administration of opium or effervescing mixture. On the evening of the 16th, the temperature again rose, and at 11.27 P.M. had got to 107°. He was immediately ice-packed and the temperature was brought down to 100°.4 at 12.20, champagne and soda being given frequently during the process, while an ice bag was kept on his head and another on the nape of the neck. During the next twenty-five minutes, he had 105 minims of the solution of neutral quinine hydrobromate (1 in 6) hypodermically. On being put to bed, his temperature again began to rise in spite of large doses of Warburg's Tincture, antipyrin and, later on, aconite until at 7 A.M., on the 17th, it was 108°.3 when ice-packing had again to be resorted to.

　　　　At 8.13 he was removed to bed with a temperature of 97° F. having had 80 m. of quinine hypo- dermically during the preceding twenty minutes. Two hours later, the temperature again started on its upward journey and gradually rose through the day notwithstanding large quantities of the ordinary antipyretics till at 5.20 P.M. 107°.4 was reached, when ice-packing was again commenced. At 6.10 P.M. he was removed from the pack when he had gr. morphia hypodermically, having had since 5.58 P.M. 120 m. of quinine solution hypodermically as well. As long as the temperature kept below 101° he had 10 grains of sulphate of quinine by stomach every hour also. The morphia quieted him consi- derably and gave him some sleep during the evening. About 10 P.M., however, the fever commenced again, and at 1.30 A.M. had got to 106°.2. At 2.10 A.M., after packing, the temperature was 98°.5 when he had another 60 m. of quinine by skin and also gr. morphia. He had a fairly good rest till 6 A.M. when the old story began again, at 7.30 his temperature being 105°.6. He was put into a tepid bath this time and it was gradually cooled down to 75° F. At 8.55 A.M., the temperature was 97.4 when he had another 60 m. of quinine hypodermically.

　　　　The temperature kept down till noon when it again went up, and at 4.15 P.M., it was 107°.2. Ice-packing again brought it down to 97°.6, at 4.55 P.M. where it remained for over an hour. He had only 20 m. hypodermically this time, as also 10 gr. by stomach every hour while the temperature was below 100° F. as well as 20 gr. by enema. The temperature again went up at 9 P.M. when it was 101° F. The patient at this time had 40 m. quinine hypodermically. On the 19th, the temperature kept hovering between 104° and 106° all day despite large quantities of aconite and antimony-one minim of tr. aconite, and 3 m. of vin; antimonial being given every ten minutes through the day.

At 5 P.M., the temperature being 106°, he was again placed in a tepid bath which was gradually cooled down till at 6.15 P.M., the temperature had fallen to 98.8., 180 m. of quinine were given hypo- dermically between 6 P.M. and 7.5 P.M. At 9.35. P.M., temperature being again on the rise, a wet sheet. was put over him to be changed frequently. He also had by skin gr. morphia and another 60 m. quinine solution at 11.10 P.M. Although the temperature kept up, he had a fairly good night's rest. The wet sheet was kept on the patient off and on during the next three days during which he had quinine frequently hypodermically. For a long time between the 23rd June and 6th July, the tem- perature kept moving up and down between 98° and 102°. Between July 6th and July 28th, it ranged between 98° and 104°, 105°, or 106° every day. During all this time the spleen had been enlarging until it almost reached the middle line. The liver dulness was normal all the time. During this period he had antipyrin, quinine and purgatives in almost enormous quantities.

Strength had been gained on Brand's Essence, eggs, fish and champagne in large quantities, a mixture of brandy and champagne proving of excellent value during a long period of the case. The chest and abdomen were examined carefully time after time to try and find out a cause for the temperature as the amount of quinine that he was now having had really no effect.

　　　　On 25th of July, however, matters became explained to some extent as, at noon, just after morn- ing visit, when he had been carefully examined and no lung mischief found, he began to spit up large quantities of pus and blood and, on being examined again a few hours after, dense crepitations could be heard all round the base of the left lung, which was slightly dull. Next day (26th), the expecto- ration continued; the exact quantity could not be measured owing to vomit and other matter being

609

unavoidably mixed up with it. At morning visit, on 27th, the splenic dulness was almost an inch further away from the middle line than it was before and was decidedly less.

On this day the expectoration was very small in quantity, but early in the morning of the 28th it again became copious and again tinged with blood. On the 29th, it was found that the cardiac dulness had increased and there was a distinct pericardial rub, and it was feared that the splenic abscess had also burst into the pericardium.

During these days quinine had again been given in large doses hypodermically. During the 30th, the expectoration contained a considerable quantity of blood. On August 2nd, the following note shows that matters were improving" Lungs clearing up very much, dulness at left base very slight and crepitations limited to a small space in posterior axillary line. Heart sounds again clear." Up till the 8th August, improvement was slow, the temperature going up every day to 103° or 104°. that, however, improvement was more rapid, the 13th of August seeing the temperature remaining normal all day.

After

The splenic dulness had considerably decreased. After this he had slight out-bursts of fever very frequently, and it was not till the 21st of October, that the fever was got under control. He was dis- charged from Hospital in March on home leave.

When he entered hospital he was 178 lbs. in weight, on the 15th August, he was 115 lbs., a mass of skin and bone. On March 1st, he weighed 152 lbs. When he left Hospital the anterior border of the spleen could be felt well in front of the ribs, but it must have been a thin enlargement, as on medium percussion there was very slight impairment of the stomach note.

Details as to tonsillitis, dysenteric diarrhea, fistula-in-ano, bedsores, &c. need not be given. The only ill effect left was the stiffness of limbs consequent on so much hypodermic injection of quinine. There was never any inflammation following. If the patient had not been one of the finest and most complacent men in the Police Force, it is difficult to see how he could have held out and reco- vered so well. Attached is the chart of his temperature during the week when the fever was at its height.

JAMES L

At. 35.

Admitted to the Hospital 18th June, 1890, at 8.30 a.m.

On admission patient stated the fever had commenced the day previous (17th instant,) about 10 A.M.; from his account the attack was a typically 'aguish' one. His temperature, on admission, was 99° F.; he was placed on low diet with two pints of milk daily, soda and ice, and was ordered ten grains of quinine every half hour. Notwithstanding this, his temperature gradually rose, and, at 6.20 P.M., registered 103.4° F.; two minims of tincture of aconite were now ordered every ten minutes; at 8.40 P.M. his temperature had risen to 104° F., and thirty grains of antipyrin were given; at 10.10 P.M. his temperature had fallen to 102.8° F. and ten more grains of antipyrin were now ordered, but as this made him vomit, the aconite was recommenced; at 12 midnight his temperature was 105° F., thirty grains of antipyrin were again given and this brought his temperature down to 103° in half an hour.

The aconite was continued during the night when he was awake..

19th

　　　　instant, 7 a.m. temperature 103.6° F.; as the temperature at 10 AM. was still 103° F., twenty grains of antipyrin were given; 11.30 A.M. temperature 105.4° F., the patient was now placed in a bath, temperature of water being 96° F.; he was kept in for an hour, the temperature of the water in the meantime being reduced to 80° F.; at 12.30 P.M. his temperature was 102.2° F., and at 12.40 P.M. 100.8°; he was kept in the bath until 1 P.M., by which time his temperature had fallen to 98.6° F. After being taken out of the bath he slept for an hour. At 2 P.M., ten grains of quinine were given hypo- dermically; he now slept until 3.40 P.M. when his temperature was found to be 101° F., as his skin was now dry, the following mixture was ordered :-

　　　As the patient was now delirious he was ice-packed; at 11.54 P.M. his temperature had fallen to 105° F. and he became sensible and was conscious of what was transpiring around him.

　　　The ice-packing was continued, and at 12.15 A.M. his temperature had fallen to 101°-sixty minims of the hypodermic solution of the neutral hydrobromate of quinine (10 grains) were now injected and at 12.30 A.M. his temperature had fallen to 99.8°; the ice-packing was now discontinued and he was replaced in bed and 10 grains more of the neutral hydrobromate of quinine were injected. At 1.15 A.M. his temperature was 99° F., and another ten grains of the quinine were injected. He now slept for a few hours and, as on awaking at 4.30 A.M. his temperature was found to be 101.8° and skin dry, the aconite and diaphoretic mixture was now given every half hour; profuse perspiration set in, but his temperature however rose slightly and at 5.30 A ?. was 102.4°.

　　　Distressing vomiting now commenced and at 6 A.M. a mustard plaster was applied to the epigas- trium; this controlled the vomiting, but the temperature still continued to rise, and at 7.30 A.M. was 104°. Wet sheets were now applied, the aconite still being given; at 9.20 A.M. his temperature was 103.6°, and at 10.30 A.M. 102.8°, by 1.30 P.M., it had fallen to 101° when sixty minims of the hypo- dermic solution of the neutral hydrobromate of quinine were injected. At 4 P.M. his temperature was

· 100.6°; at 5.30 P.M. another ten grains were injected, the wet sheet still being applied, at 7.15 P.M. his temperature was 101° F., and at 10.30 P.M., it having fallen to 99° F., ten grains more of the quinine were injected. He now slept until 2 A.M. (21st) when his temperature was 100° F., and the wet sheet was continued; he slept on and off during the night, at 5.40 A.M. his temperature being 100° F. His temperature this day did not rise above 101.2° (6 P.? ); at 11.30 AM. 10 grains of the neutral hydrobromate of quinine were injected and a similar injection was given at 10 P.M.

　　　22nd instant :-This morning his temperature fell to 99.6° (7.5 A.M.) and five grains of quinine in the form of a pill was now ordered to be given every hour. As at 3 P.M. his temperature had risen to 102.4° this was discontinued and the aconite mixture substituted. At 8 P.M. his temperature had fallen to 101.8°, and at 11 P.M. it was 100° F.; ten grains of quinine were now injected hypodermically and during that night his temperature did not rise above 100° F.

　　　23rd instant, 6 A.M. temperature registered 99° F., 10 grains of quinine were injected hypoder- mically and a five grain quinine pill was ordered every hour; the wet sheet was discontinued this morning, it having been applied continuously for seventy six hours. This day the highest temperature was 100.4°.

In the evening as patient was suffering from retention his urine was drawn off. 24th, urine had to be drawn off again this morning; the quinine pill was still given every hour excepting when patient was asleep; his temperature only rose above 100° F. at 6 P.M. when it was 100.2°.

　　　From this date he continued to improve; the retention continuing until the 26th instant, after which he passed his urine normally.

On the 25th, the following medicine was ordered in addition to the quinine pill.

　　　On the 26th instant, the quinine pill was reduced to once every two hours, and on the 27th inst. to once every four hours; ou this latter date he was placed on half diet, and a mutton chop was added to his diet on the 29th: He was discharged cured on the 7th July.

REMARKS.

This is a typical case of the most severe form of what is termed " Hongkong Fever.

The type is really that of unusually malignant Remittent Fever, the onset is very sudden and the tendency is for the fever paroxysm to be excessive i.e. the temperature rises as high as 107° or 108° F. and can only be reduced by the application of external cold by the use of the graduated bath, the wet sheet, or ice-packing" in the extreme cases.

There is generally distressing bilious vomiting and the nervous system is much more affected than in the milder cases of Malarial Fever.

　　　In this case the fever was reduced in the first instance by the graduated bath; however, this reduc- tion was only temporary, and the temperature that day rose again. No active measures were taken for some time with the hope that the crisis marked by profuse perspiration would set in tinct. aconite in small doses frequently repeated in a diaphoretic mixture were given with the object of promoting this.

However as this did not occur it was found useless to delay matters any more, anl with the tem- perature registering (in the axilla) 108°, ice-packing was commenced and by this means in an hour and a half, the patient's temperature was reduced. 8.2°, the hydrobromate of quinine was then injected hypodermically, as much as thirty grains being injected, during the following hour.

A rise above 104° F. occurred that day but this was controlled by the continuous application of the wet sheet for seventy six hours.

In several of these severe cases retention has been met with, in this case it occurred on the 23rd June, (seventh day of illness) the question arises whether this is due to the fever or to the large doses of quinine given, as in these cases the retention is cured by small doses of strychnine, I am led to the conclusion that this is due to the direct effect of the malarial poison on the spinal cord.

Great care is taken to use a fresh solution of the neutral hydrobromate of quinine (1 in 6), and the syringe is provided with a platinum needle.

In this case there was slight stiffness of some of the muscles of the forearm, which disappeared in a short time evidently due to the direct irritation of the muscle fibres by the hypodermic solution.

　　The places selected for the injections are the calves of the legs, the shoulders (deltoid muscles) or the muscles of the forearm.

I attach to this a temperature chart of the case.

CASES OF DYSENTERY TREATED WITH ARSENITE OF COPPER.

WM. L

AT. 58.

Admitted to the Hospital on December 1st, 1890, with a letter from Dr. BELL who informed me that this patient had been under his care since November 22nd, suffering from Acute Dysentery, as he had not improved under opium and large doses of ipecacuanha, he thought it better to send the man into the ilospital.

　　Patient stated that during the preceding twelve hours his bowels had been moved eight times. He said that he had been passing a quantity of blood and slime with his stools and there was considerable straining after a motion.

He was placed on milk diet, being allowed three pints of milk in the twenty-four hours, with two bottles of soda water and ice frequently, and was ordered one four hundredth of a grain of Arsenite of Copper every half hour in solution; at 9 P.M. that evening, his bowels had been moved six times, on examining his faeces there was a quantity of mucus present but no blood.

　　December 2nd, on the morning visit, it was found that his bowels had been open four times during the night, f?ces still liquid, no blood but mucus.

The medicine was ordered to be given every ten minutes for an hour, and after that in hourly doses (each dose containing one four hundredth of a grain). Evening visit, bowels had only been open once since the morning.

　　December 3rd, morning visit, bowels only open once during the night, less straining. Medicine ordered to be given every two hours, and some arrowroot was added to his diet. Evening visit, bowels not open at all during the day.

December 4th, morning visit, bowels had only been open once during the night, f?ces formed. December 5th, bowels open once during night, quite formed, he was now placed on low diet, and medicine ordered thrice daily. On the 7th, he was placed on half diet (fish), and on the 9th, was discharged cured.

　　Admitted to Hospital at 4.30 P.M. on November 8th, 1890, with history of diarrhoea for last four- teen days, motions have been as frequent as eight or nine times in the 24 hours, quite liquid mixed with mucus and occasionally blood stained, there has been distressing tenesmus.

　　His bowels had been moved six times that day, he was placed on milk diet and ordered 30 grains of pulv. ipecac. ver. preceded by an opiate draught given fifteen minutes before the powder.

November 9th, morning visit, bowels have been moved four times during the night, he vomited

half an hour after having taken the powder.

Draught and powder repeated this morning.

Evening visit, bowels open thrice since morning.

10th, morning visit, bowels open four times during the night motions being distinctly dysenteric. One four hundredth of a grain of Arsenite of Copper was now given in solution and ordered to be repeated every two hours.

Evening visit, bowels only open twice since the morning. Arsenice of Copper mixture ordered

to be continued.

　　November 11th, morning visit, bowels only open twice during the night, faces slightly formed, very little straining.

Evening visit, bowels open twice during the day, patient expresses himself as feeling much better. November 12th, morning visit, bowels only open once during the night, mixtured ordered every four hours.

　　From this date he made a complete recovery, on the 14th, he was placed on low diet, and on the 19th on half diet, and was discharged cured on the 20th instant.

INDER SET. 21, INDIAN POLICE CONSTABLE,

Hour of duty (10 P.M. to 6 A.M.)

Admitted 1.50 P.M. December 6th, 1890.

He stated that diarrhoea commenced in the previous night and up to 6 A.M., his bowel had been opened five times, from 6 A.M. until his admission he had had them moved six times. He was placed on milk diet and ordered grain of Arsenite of Copper in solution, the dose to be given every ten minutes for an hour and after that hourly.

　　　　Evening visit, his bowels had been open five times since his admission, and on examination were found to be quite liquid with mucus and blood present, medicine to be continued in hourly doses.

December 7th, morning visit, bowels had been moved three times during the night.

Evening visit, bowels had been open four times since the morning.

8th, morning visit, bowels had only been open once during the night, and feces were slightly formed.

From this date he rapidly recoverel, on the 10th, the medicine was ordered thrice daily, and he was placed on low diet.

On the 11th, he was discharged at his own request.

He had been in the Hospital before, suffering from the same complaint.

This patient was readmitted on the 15th December, with a slight return of dysenteric diarrhoea and I was treated in exactly the same way and was discharged cured on the 22nd instant, and since then he has had no relapse.

The following brief notes shew the progress of the case:-

Admitted 12.30 midday, 15th December, with slight fever temperature 1023 his bowels had been loose again, having been open four times that morning, he was of phenacetin, at once this brought his temperature down to 99° F. (by 6 P.M.,) and nite of Copper was ordered every ten minutes for an hour and then to be given hourly on milk diet.

Evening visit, bowels had been open twice since his admission.

December 16th, morning visit, temperature 98.8° F., bowels open twice during the night Evening visit, temperature 100.2° F., at 8 P.M., another phenacetin powder was

open twice since morning, not so much straining.

17th, morning visit, temperature normal and continued so until his disebar

been open once during the night.

From this date he continued to improve, on the 19th, the medicine was ordered eve and he was placed on low diet, on the 21st, it was reduced to three doses daily and he was placed on full diet; and was discharged cured on the 22nd.

REMARKS.

These cases tend to prove that in Arsenite of Copper we have a valuable remedy for some cases

of Dysentery.

　　　The second case is particularly instructive as this patient was brought into the Hospital twenty- three days after he had been discharged cured from the Dysentery with a gunshot wound which proved fatal: At the Post Mortem Examination, the mucus membrane of the large intestine was quite normal with the exception that where the ulcers had existed, there was a slight depression.

A CASE OF FRACTURED SPINE.

OPERATION.

　　　NAGADIN, a Japanese man, age 23, fell down a stair while under the influence of dechol and, as he could not walk at all afterwards, was immediately brought to Hospital where he was admitted at 1.40 A.M. on the 1st of July. It was at once seen that he was suffering from fractured spine. He was carefully examined at the following morning visit when the undermentioned state of affairs was found.

There was a small bruise in the small of the back, and a distinct fracture of the spine in the lower dorsal and upper lumbar region. The last dorsal and upper two lumbar spinous processes were fract- ured and displaced-there was no evidence of the bodies of the vertebra being displaced. There was

total loss of motion in both lower extremities. Sensation was completely absent in the right leg and thigh and up to a level about two inches above the anterior superior spine of the ilium. Sensation was also absent from the greater part of the left lower limb-a small surface of the upper and internal part of the thigh being the only part of it which retained sensation. The cremasteric reflex on the right side was absent, but slightly present on the left side. His bladder was paralysed. He was put on a water bed and the condition of his bladder and bowels carefully looked after, his urine being drawn off twice or thrice a day and aperients given when necessary, as constipation was well marked. On the occasions when his bowels were very loose the patient had no control over his sphincter ani. The urine became alkaline on the 6th July and soon after other signs of cystitis set in. Benzoates were given and the bladder washed out every six hours with different antiseptic solutions, but never- theless its condition slowly became worse. The man's general condition also got worse, the lower extremities wasting considerably, while he was evidently getting weaker in those parts of the body over which he still had control. Galvanism of the lower extremities was commenced on the 14th of July. The conditions of motion and sensation remained as on admission and bed-sores were. now forming in the upper gluteal region. As it was evident that the man was getting much worse and that there was probably some pressure on the cord in the region of the first or second lumbar vertebra extensive destruction of the cord being negatived by the fact that the bodies of the vertebra were not, and probably had not been, displaced-it was resolved to cut down and see if anything could be done to improve matters at the site of the injury.

　***On the 24th July, therefore, Dr. ATKINSON, with antiseptic precautions, cut down on the cord over the fractured spinous processes. After dissecting the muscles back on either side, he proceeded to remove the spinous processes and lamina of the eleventh and twelfth dorsal vertebra and also that of the first lumbar. The spinous processes of the twelfth dorsal and first lumbar vertebra had got fairly firmly fixed. That of the second lumbar, which was comparatively loose, was also removed and there was found to be a depression of the lamina of that vertebra. On getting freer access to the depression it was found that au oblong piece of the bone about the size of a finger-nail was deeply embedded in the substance of the card, the larger part of it pressing over the left half of the cord. This was seized and dissected off the dura mater which did not at this time show much sign of injury. Examination did not show any further apparent injury, and the wound was closed by deep and superficial stitches and dressed with iodoform, a small drainage tube being inserted at the bottoin of the wound. A gum elastic catheter was tied in the bladder.

21st July, wound dressed, looking well, but considerable discharge through tube.

22nd, wound again dressed, very little discharge, some induration at upper end, drainage tube removed, patient feeling out of sorts still.

　　23rd, wound dressed practically, no discharge. The induration at top of wound not so marked. The bladder is improving as the urine does not smell so bad and is clearer. There is, however, a considerable amount of ropy mucus still washed out by the corrosive sublimate solution. Patient expresses himself as being much better, no pain in the back at all.

The left oremasterio reflex is more evident than it was, the right is totally absent. The line of sensation on the right side is the same. Sensation on the left side is considerably improved as to-day he feels pin pricks all over the front of his leg and calf. No movement is yet observable when he tries to move any of the muscles of his lower extremities. He remarks that the washing out of the bladder Low gives him pain.

The solution now

Sensation in the limbs is practically the same as yesterday, but on being told to move the left leg, there is evident contraction of the Sartorius and some of the fibres of the Quadriceps Extensor, but movement of the limb is nil.

cept one inch in the middle of the incision.

25th, wound healed

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　In spite of the apparent slight local improvement, the patient does not improve generally as he is getting more asthenic every day. The bed-sores on his buttocks are no worse.

　　August 24th, there continues to be improvement in the left leg. All the muscles of the thigh now contract when he is asked to move his leg; and the patella can be moved about quite freely. He cannot raise the leg off the bed, but he can rotate it fairly freely and there is slight motion of the toes. There is slight contraction of the muscles of the right thigh, moving the patella to some extent, but sensation is still totally absent on the right side. The sensation of the left leg is considerably improved, in fact is very good. The patient says he is much weaker, and to-day, there is some pus welling up from the part of the wound which did not heal by first intention.

The patient had a slight rise of temperature on the 6th August, and after this, it went up almost every afternoon to 102 or 103° F., he gradually got more asthenic and died on August 23rd.

　　A post mortem examination unfortunately could not be obtained, a fact much to be regretted in this case. From the fact that motion in both thighs, sensation in the left leg, and the condition of the bladder improved as they did, it was evident that to a certain extent the pressure on the cord must have been relieved. The fact that sensation in the right leg did not return at all showed that the injury to the posterior columns of the left half of the cord must have been destructive in the first instance.

Report from the Medical Officer in charge of Gaol Hospital.

GAOL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 1st February, 1891.

　　　SIR, I have the honour to forward the report and. statistical tables of the work done in this Hospital in 1890.

2. During the past year as shown in the Table K, 368 men were admitted; 32 of whom were, by orders of Magistrates and for other reasons, kept under observation.

3. At the first medical examination (Vide Table L), 44 men were put in for treatment.

　　　4. The percentage of these cases and the rate of sickness and mortality are given in the Tables IXa and XI. The number of prisoners received at the Gaol was 3,444.

　　　5. Six deaths have occurred from disease. Two patients died from Dysentery. The other deaths resulted from pulmonary and laryngeal Phthisis, from cardiac and chronic Bright's disease, from Re- mittent Fever, and from Meningitis.

　　　In addition to these, an old convict (who had returned from deportation) and a prisoner on remand committed suicide by hanging themselves in their cells.

All the deceased were Chinese.

6. The cases that were treated outside this Hospital are given in the Table X.

　　　Not less than 100 prisoners had scabies, 28 were suffering from ringworm, and 62 from superficial abscess of plantar surface of feet.

　　　7. Many prisoners had also abscess about the ankle joints, caused by rubbing the rough edges of fetters against the skin.

　　　I have recommended that all the short-sentenced men should wear also canvas girdles for protect- ing their ankle joints.

8. We have continued to vaccinate the long-sentenced prisoners, without meeting with any serious accident. In some rare instances, small abscesses supervened, but they healed up very quickly.

The result of our work and inquiry on this subject for the last three years are tabulated below.

　　　9. Owing to leprosy, six Chinese men and one woman were released and sent to Canton soon after they were sentenced for various offences. One of the men came back and was subsequently three times convicted and committed to Gaol.

　　　10. Table XIb gives the weights for the first four weeks of opium smokers who were deprived of this drug after their admission to this Gaol.

　　　This table was compiled by Warder FLORES and by Assistant Warder HAMED who also weighed the prisoners. Table XIe shows the number of these men who were in the Hospital for treatment.

　　　11. Influenza made its appearance in the month of March, and caused 25 admissions into this Hospital. Almost all these patients suffered also from gastric derangement, pains in the lumber region and in the joints, were greatly depressed, and in many cases, the symptoms resembled those of small-pox in its premonitory stage.

　　　I was often able to recognise this affection by looking at their tongues, which were generally of a bright red colour in the tips and on the edges, but thickly coated in the contre by a whitish or sometimes by a yellowish fur.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH JULY, 1891.

　　12. A greater portion of prisoners than usual was noticed suffering from stomatitis. This com- plaint is chiefly observed in winter. The tongues and mouths are very much irritated, covered with minute vesicles, portions of mucous membrane are detached. I am told that this state is sometimes produced or rendered worse by an excessive use of salt or of some other irritant substance, with the view of getting a change of diet.

　　13. The difference in quantity of food of prisoners, who undergo punishment diet for breach of Gaol rules and of those who are under fourteen days' imprisonment, is only two ounces less of rice.

　　Some cunning convicts prefer to have a little less rice and to lie down quietly, rather than to pick the full task of oakum.

　　14. Many of the men who are sentenced to work in this Gaol, are more fit to be inmates of hos- pitals for aged and infirm. This class of prisoners is an expensive and troublesome one, as they often require better nourishment and special attention.

　　15. The discipline of this Gaol is very strict as it should be in an Establishment of this kind, and I consider the labour usually assigned to convicts during the first six months, above all if they are old offenders, very severe. But it appears that it has not a very deterrent effect on a large number of them.

　　16. General GORDON, the Superintendent of this Gaol, has directed, at my request, the following information to be supplied to me.

　　In 1890, 472 old criminals were admitted to Gaol, and 29 men were sentenced to hard labour for having returned from deportation.

　　17. The number of offenders of tender age was smaller than it had been for the last two years; nevertheless it amounted to 107. One of them was convicted three times and twice whipped. A young man who had received six strokes for larceny was sentenced, within a week afterwards, to six months' hard labour and to get twelve strokes, for earring snatching from a Chinese woman.

　　I could quote other instances of juvenile relapses in crimes. All these offenders belong to the very poor class, are illiterate and have received but little or no moral training and are constantly exposed to great temptations.

　　18. The quarter at present occupied by debtors is altogether too limited. It is necessary to build a new one, for the proper accommodation of the inmates.

　　19. The overcrowding in this Gaol is due to various and complex causes, some of which, how- ever, could be prevented without much difficulty.

　　In this Colony with an overwhelming Chinese population, there are very few benevolent societies for assisting those who need it.

　　20. Many men are in this Gaol because they have no means of supporting themselves. An old criminal who knew well the rules, regretted that he was not condemned to a longer term of imprison- ment, probably because he was longing for more food than is allowed to short-sentenced prisoners.

　　21. The convicts, whom I have asked, expressed their willingness to emigrate, provided they would be sure of getting a living.

　　22. Those who are deported are generally sent only to the neighbouring mainland where they wander about with scarcely any prospect, or none at all, of finding employment, although some of them are skilful artisans. They could easily return to this Colony. Most of them for want of means, cannot reach their former homes.

　　23. If some inducements were offered to these men to go to newly explored countries, to places which are not very salubrious, there they could under Government supervision or that of a private Company, be engaged in filling up swamps, cutting roads, or do other useful work which ordinary labourers would not undertake, unless highly remunerated.

Report of the Government Analyst,

CIVIL HOSPITAL, HONGKONG, 29th May, 1891.

SIR, I have the honour to submit a statement of the work done in the temporary laboratory of this Hospital during the year 1890. I also include statistics of the work in the Hospital Pharmacy during the same period, together with some observations on the increase of work in this section during the past ten years.

　　　2. The subjects may be usefully dealt with under the following headings,-Laboratory, Pharmacy, Remarks.

LABORATORY.

3. Toxicological.--There have been no analyses during 1890 in connection with cases of criminal poisoning.

4. Milk.--One sample of milk was analysed at the request of the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital. No analyses of food were made for the Sanitary Authorities.

5. Water. Two specimens of well water were analysed in April and November; one of these was referred to in a special report to Government by Mr. CHADWICK, on the water supply of the Kowloon peninsula.

6. Alcoholic Liquors.-A specimen of Brandy, sold in the Colony at 25 cents a bottle, was examined at the request of the Harbour Master. It was just within the legal limit as regards admixture with water, the alcoholic strength being 24 degrees under proof.

7. I have devoted a considerable amount of time to the study of the alcoholic liquors in this Colony. It is I believe a generally accepted notion, that the various liquors sold in the taverns and shops usually frequented by sailors and soldiers, are not only unwholesome but positively dangerous; such terms as "firewater" and "poison" are freely applied to these liquors. I may here point out that so far no evidence has been forthcoming to support this theory. This being the case, is it un-、 reasonable to suppose that the ill effects observed after drinking these cheap liquors may be attributed to the quantity, rather than the quality of the spirit consumed? From the observations I have seen in the Colonial Press, I gather that the Analyst to the Straits Government, has expressed a similar opinion with regard to the liquors sold in Singapore. Perhaps the greatest evil next to the reck- absence of a spirit duty for a man to get drunk for such a low figure as 20 cents. It is perhaps worth considering whether or not this could be remedied to some useful extent by increasing the fee charged for a grocer's licence under section 28 of Ordinance 21 of 1886. There is one consideration which ought not to be overlooked, viz.-the probability that the consumer in many instances is served with a raw instead of a matured spirit. It is to be regretted that on this point analytical chemistry is unable to throw much light, although scientific evidence is not necessary to demonstrate the superiority of old to new wine. If this evil should be found to exist, the only practical remedy would be, the compul- sory bonding of spirits for a certain period. A Committee of the House of Commons, under the presi- dency of Dr. LYON PLAYFAIR, has lately had under consideration, among other things, the question of the compulsory bonding of spirits. Many of the leading experts in the United Kingdom have been examined and it is not improbable, that the results of the labours of this Committee will be found to have an important bearing on many points affecting the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors in this Colony.

lessness displayed by sailors and soldiers when on leave, is the facility afforded in the

PHARMACY.

　　　8. Out-Patients. From the following table shewing the number of prescriptions, exclusive of repetitions, dispensed for out-patients, it will be seen that in this section, the year 1890 has been the heaviest during the past ten years.

9. It will be seen that during 1890 more than five times the number of out-patients were receiv- ing medicines from this Department than was the case in 1880. The total number of prescriptions dispensed in 1890, including repetitions, was 6,332.

10. In-Patients. During 1890, 1,957 in patients were supplied with medicines against 1,793 during the preceding year. In 1880 the number was 1,055. The expenditure of time involved in this service obviously depends on the character of the prescriptions sent down from the wards. Judg- ing from the actual number of in-patients under treatment, there is not such a large increase as may be noted in the out-patient's section. I find, however, that two dispensers are now necessary to get through the work formerly done by one man. This remark applies to the dispensing of prescriptions at the morning round alone. The dispensing at the night round varies considerably. On an average it is equal to one fifth of the day work.

11. Manufacture of Pharmaceutical preparations. A considerable amount of time is devoted to the above. Previous to 1881, Pharmacopaial preparations were obtained from London, through the Crown Agents. It was on the recommendation of my predecessor that this change was inaugurated. Apart from economical grounds this departure was found to be necessary from the fact that in many instances, owing to climatic conditions, special forms have to be devised for the prepara- tions laid down in the National Pharmacopeia. It would be difficult to shew in the form of a finan- cial statement the saving effected to Government' by this measure. That it is considerable may be inferred from the fact that while as compared with ten years ago we have nearly double the number of in-patients, and more than five times the number of out-patients, the estimates for medicines in that period have only been increased from $1,500.00 to $2,000.00

12. Remarks.-As in previous years only the most necessary analytical work has been con- ducted. The long promised new Laboratory is approaching completion, and before the next annual report is prepared I hope to have a more comprehensive statement of work done in the analytical department. A considerable amount of time will be devoted this year to the analysis of the Pokfulum. and Taitam Water, before and after filtration, which has been ordered by Government on the requisition of the resident engineer of the Water and Drainage Department. These results will I think be of great practical and scientific interest.

13. The change alluded to in my annual report for 1889 under which I shall be required to devote full time to analytical work has been finally sanctioned by the Secretary of State. The suc- cessful working of this new scheme will obviously depend on the Assistant Apothecary with two Chinese Assistants being able to carry on the work in the Hospital Pharmacy. It is not improbable that some changes in this direction may become necessary if there is a further increase in the number of in and out-patients.

14. Mr. E. W. LUCAS, the new Assistant Apothecary, entered on his duties on the 16th of February, 1890, and has devoted a considerable amount of time since his arrival to the completion of the internal arrangements of the Pharmacy. The Department is now in a thorough state of orga- nisation so far as the dispensing of medicines is concerned.

15. With regard to the care of medical stores, I have in the form of a special report made certain recommendations which will I hope be acted on before long.

16. I avail myself of this opportunity to convey my thanks to the Assistant Apothecary and to the two Chinese Assistants, Messrs. U IKAI, and CHAU KAM TS'UN, for the cheerful assistance. rendered during an exceptionally heavy year.

I have the honour to be,

THE COLONIAL SURGEON.

- PENSION REGULATIONS.

The following Regulations, concerning the general conditions upon which Pensions, Superannuation Allow- ances, or other Relief are to be granted, under Section 17 of Ordinance No. 14 of 1887 to Subordinate Officers or Constables of the Police Force, are authorized by His Excellency the Governor in Council, this 20th day of July, 1891 :-

　　1. The Regulations made by the Governor in Council, on the 10th February, 1891, and Gazetted on the 28th February, 1891, are hereby repealed.

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

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

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

　　5. Subject to the exceptions and provisions hereinafter contained, a pension will be granted to any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who joined previous to the 13th September, 1884, (excepting those who have joined, under or have accepted an agreement to serve fifteen years

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 21ST JULY, 1891.

before becoming entitled to a pension) who has served ten years, at the rate of 15/60ths of the Annual of his rank, provided he shall have been in receipt of the same for the last three years; otherwise, the Pension shall be calculated upon the average amount of pay received by such person during the three years next preceding the commencement of such Pension. Further, for every full and complete year's service after ten years, an addition to the Annual Pension of 1/60th part of the average annual pay of his rank shall be made for each additional year of such service.

6. Extra pay for acting appointments will in no case be taken into consideration in deterinining the amounts of Pension or Gratuity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

of the Officer at the time he receives such injury.

(b.) When impaired not exceeding 12/60ths;

c) When materially impaired not exceeding 18/60ths; (d.) When totally destroyed not exceeding 24/60ths.

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

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 21ST JULY, 1891. 623

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

Such notice shall be printed in English and Chinese, and the farmer shall supply copies thereof to all persons licensed by him under this Ordinance, and every such licensed person shall exhibit such notice in the place where he sells prepared opium, in a conspicuous position, so as to be plainly visible to every person entering such place.

31. All licensees of the Governor in Council under sec- tion 25, when there is no opium farmer, shall, during the last three months of the period of their licences be subject to such restrictions as to the quantities of opium they shall prepare and sell as the Governor in Council may from time to time determine.

32. Neither the opium farmer nor his licensees shall, during the three months preceding the end of his term, prepare more than the usual quantity of opium, or during such three months sell any prepared opium at less than the average current prices of the day, or in greater quantities than is usual at the time of year, and at the end of his term such farmer or his licensees shall not sell, export or other- wise make away with or dispose of any of his or their stock of prepared opium, but shall make over to the new farmer the full and complete stock of raw or prepared opium then in their possession, at the marketable value thereof.

33. In the event of any difference arising between the incoming and out-going opium farmers as to the quantities of prepared opium produced or sold during the last three months of the term, and the price of the same, or as to the nature and quantity of the raw or prepared opium so to be purchased or made over, or the prices thereof, such differ- ence may be determined by three arbitrators, one to be appointed by the new farmer, one by the out-going farmer, and one by the Governor. The award of such arbitrators, or of a majority of them, shall be final, and the arbitration or such other settlement shall be held at such time after the end of the term of the out-going farmer as may seem reasonable to the Governor. Any award made may be filed in Court pursuant to the Hongkong Code of Civil Procedure.

34. The majority of the arbitrators may determine, and are hereby empowered to decide in each particular case, what are usual quantities of prepared opium within the meaning of this Ordinance.

Forfeitures.

52. All raw or prepared opium with regard to which any offence against this Ordinance, or against any regulation made thereunder, has been committed, together with any implements may be seized by any Police or excise officer and may be forfeited, and the Magistrate in his discretion may adjudge and deliver such raw or prepared opium, im- plements, or any part thereof to the opium farmer.

53. Whenever any seizure of prepared opium is made under this Ordinance, or whenever there is reasonable ground to believe that opium is prepared by any unauthorised person or in any unauthorised place, all raw opium found in the possession of such person, or in such unauthorised place may be seized by any Police or excise officer. If the Magistrate considers that there is reason to believe that the unlawful preparation of opium was carried on by such unauthorised person, or in such unauthorised place, or if any implement within the meaning of this Ordinance be found in possession of such unauthorised person, or in such place, the Magistrate may order such raw opium to be for- feited, and may in his discretion direct that it be delivered to the opium farmer.

54. When any raw or prepared opium or any implement is found without being apparently in the possession of any person, the Magistrate may cause a notice to be affixed at the place where any such opium or implement was found, If no calling upon the owner thereof to claim the same. person shall make such a claim within one week from the affixing of such notice, such opium, or implement shall be forfeited, and may be delivered by the Magistrate in his discretion to the opium farmer.

55.

Any opium so for- feited shall be detained by the Magistrate who has cognizance of the case until the disposal thereof has been determined by the Governor in Council. And no Police officer or other person authorised by the Governor or Magistrate to hold or store such opium shall be liable to any penalty under this Ordinance by reason of such opium not being accom- panied by a certificate under section 14 or otherwise.

Procedure.

56. The Magistrate may, in his discretion, employ an analyst or other skilled person to report upon any technical point which may be in dispute in any prosecution under this Ordinance, and may at his discretion order the pay- ment of such analyst or skilled person by the party in fault, or out of any fine recovered from either party, or out of the proceeds of any forfeiture ordered by such Magistrate.

57. In dismissing any charge or complaint under this Ordinance on the ground that such charge or complaint is false, or frivolous and vexatious, it shall be the duty of the Court to impose upon the person bringing such charge a penalty not exceeding that which the defendant would have incurred if convicted upon such charge or complaint, and such penalty shall be over and above any other penalties or liabilities which the said person may have likewise in- curred in respect of his said charge or complaint or of his evidence in support thereof.

58. In any proceedings before a Magistrate or on appeal to the Supreme Court relating to the seizure of any opium, utensils or other articles the seizure whereof is authorised by any of the provision of this Ordinance it shall be lawful for the Judges of the said Court and for such Magistrate, and they are hereby respectively required, to proceed in such cases on the merits only, without reference to matters of form and without enquiring into the manner or form of making, any seizure, exepting in so far as the manner and form of seizure may be evidence on such merits.

59. Except as hereinafter mentioned, no information laid under The Opium Ordinances 1884 to 1887 or this Ordinance shall be admitted in evidence in any civil or criminal proceeding whatsoever, and no witness shall be obliged or permitted to disclose the name or address of any informer, or to state any matter which might lead to his discovery, and if any books, documents or papers which are in evidence or liable to inspection in any civil or criminal proceeding whatsoever contain any entry in which any such

informer is named or described, or which might lead to his discovery, the Court or Magistrate shall cause all such pas- sages to be concealed from view or to be obliterated so far may be necessary to protect the informer from discovery

but no further. But if in any proceedings before a Magis- Exception. trate for any offence against any provision of the said Ordi- nances or this Ordinance the Magistrate after full inquiry into the case shall believe that the informer wilfully made in his information a' material statement which he knew or believed to be false or did not believe to be true, or if in any other proceeding the Court or Magistrate shall be of opinion that justice cannot be fully done between the parties thereto without the discovery of the informer, it shall be lawful for the Court or Magistrate to require the production of the original information, and to permit inquiry and require full disclosure concerning the informer.

Penalties.

60. For every offence against this Ordinance or against any regulation made thereunder not otherwise specially provided for, the offender shall, besides the forfeiture of opium and implements provided by section 52, be liable on summary conviction to the following penalties:-

(1.) For every first offence, a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars, or imprisonment with or with- out hard labour for a term not exceeding three months.

61. A portion not exceeding half of the pecuniary penalty recovered from any offender against this Ordinance

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　may at the discretion of the Magistrate be awarded to the informer, and in every case relating to prepared opium the re- mainder of any such penalty recovered shall be paid to the opium farmer except in the cases provided for by sec- tion 55.

62. Whosoever shall assault, resist or wilfully obstruct any excise officer in the due execution of his duty under The Opium Ordinances 1884 to 1887 or this Ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and upon conviction thereof shall be liable in the discretion of the Magistrate or Supreme Court to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years with or without hard labour.

(2.)-Cubic Capacity.

Measure the length and breadth outside and the depth inside multiply them together and by 6; the product is the capacity of the boat in cubic feet. Thus a boat 28 feet long, 8 feet 6 inches broad and 3 feet 6 inches deep will be regarded as having a capacity of 28 × 85 × 35 × 6 = 499·8 or 500 cubic feet. If the oars are pulled in row locks, the bottom of the row lock is to be considered the gunwale of the boat for ascertaining her depth.

(3.)-Number of persons for boats of Section A.

The number of persons a boat of Section A shall be deemed fit to curry, shall be the number of cubic feet (ascertained as in Rule 2), divided by 10. Thus a boat whose cubic contents are 500 cubic feet is deemed sufficient for 50 persons. The space in the boat shall be sufficient for the seating of the persons carried in it and for the proper use of the oars,

(4.) - Number of persons for other Boats.

The number of persons a boat of Sections B, C, or D shall be deemed fit to carry, shall be the number of cubic feet, (ascertained as in Rule 2) divided by 8.

And after defining the expression "trade description" as any description, statement or other indication, direct or indirect, as to number, quantity, measure, gauge, or weight of goods, as to place or country in which any goods were made or produced, as to the mode of manufacturing or producing any goods, or as to the material of which any goods are composed, or as to any goods being the subject of any existing patent, privi- lege or copyright;

And after defining the expressions "false trade description," and "goods," "apply," and

"falsely apply;

It is provided by Section 14 that,

(i.) All such goods as above mentioned, and

shall be prohibited to be imported, and, may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of as the Superintendent of Imports and Exports (hereinafter called the Superintendent) may direct.

And whereas by Section 16 of the Ordinance after authorizing the continued use of trade descriptions lawfully and generally applied to goods of the particular class, or manu- factured by a particular method, to indicate such class or method, it is provided that, where such trade description includes the name of a place or country calculated to mis- lead as to where the goods were actually made or produced, such goods not having been actually made or produced there, the said reciting section should not apply, (and, con- sequently, goods so marked would be prohibited), unless there be added to the trade description, immediately before or after the name of the place or country, in an equally conspicuous manner with that name, the name of the place or country in which the goods were actually made or produced, with a statement that they were made or pro- duced there.

And whereas it is also provided, by the said Section 14 that the Governor in Council may, from time to time, make, revoke and vary regulations, either general or special, respecting the detention and forfeiture of goods the importation of which is prohibited as herein- before mentioned, and the conditions, if any, to be fulfilled before such detention and forfeiture, and may by such Regulations determine the information, notices, and security to be given, and the evidence requisite for any of the purposes of the said section, and the mode of verification of such evidence.

And it is further provided by the said last-mentioned section:---

That before detaining goods or taking proceedings with a view to the forfeiture thereof under the law relating to the Ordinance, the Superintendent may require that such Regulations as aforesaid shall be complied with, and satisfy himself as to the liability of the goods to forfeiture.

He must deposit with the Superintendent a sum sufficient, in the opinion of that officer, to cover any additional expense which may be incurred in the examination required by reason of his notice and may be required to find security, pursuant to the notice in that behalf in the Schedule hereto.

2. If, upon the arrival and examination of the goods, the Superintendent is satisfied that there no ground for their detention, the Superintendent shall cause them to be released and redelivered. If he is not so satisfied, he may decide to permanently detain the goods, and in the case of detention upon information from a private person, he may require security from the informant, if he has not already given such security, for reimbursing the Superintendent all expenses and damages incurred in respect of the detention made on his information and of any proceedings consequent thereon.

3. The security hereby required shall be an immediate ad valorem deposit of ten per the value of the goods, as fixed by the Superintendent from the quantities or value shown by the entry; and, also, subsequently a bond to be completed within four days in double the value of the goods, with two approved sureties. The ad valorem deposit shall be returned upon completion of the bond, and shall not be required if, as an alternative where time permits, the informant prefers to give a like bond before examination, upon estimated value of the goods declared to by him under statutory declaration. If the security is not duly given as above required, the goods shall not be detained.

4. The "Notice" and "Bond" required as above shall be in the forms, contained in the Schedule to these Regulations, or in such other forms as the Governor in Council may from time to time order and direct.

5. The security taken under these Regulations shall be given up at the times following, that is to

If the goods are released by the Superintendent, and no action or suit has been commenced against him, in respect of the detention, then at the expiration of three months from the time of detention.

If within such period as aforesaid any such action or suit as aforesaid has been commenced, then upon the ultimate conclusion of such action or suit, and the fulfilment of the purpose for which the security was given.

6. These Regulations apply to transhipment and transit goods as well as to goods landed to be warehoused, or for home consumption.

7. These Regulations shall come into force on the 1st day of August, 1891.

The following Report of the Director of the Observatory is published for general information.

By Command,

W. M. GOODMAN,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Ilongkong, 1st August, 1891.

ACCOUNT OF THE TYPHOON OF THE 17TH TO 20TH JULY, 1891.

In order to give an example of the working of the Meteorological Signals hoisted in Kowloon, and the amount of reliance that can be placed on them, the following short account of the last typhoon has been drawn up. In addition to observations at telegraphic reporting stations, many of which were received by post, extracts of 16 log books are available, but the investigations are as yet incomplete as reports from the greater number of stations will not arrive till next month.

Cirrus clouds were noted coming from ENE on the 16th July.

On the 17th the highest temperature of the month, so far, was registered. The air was un- usually dry along the SE coast of China and the barometer read higher than during the previous days. Gradients were very gentle and calms or light, airs prevailed: all signs of the existence of a typhoon as explained in "The Law of Storms in the Eastern Seas," (2nd Edition, p. 1)."

Directions to hoist the Red Drum were issued at 6.30 p. on the 17th, and at 6.40 p. the following notice:"Typhoon near southern Formosa." At this time the centre appears to have been in about 201° N, 1211 E. The barometer was falling in Amoy and Swatow and the weather was squally and wet in Luzon with SW breezes. Ships to the north of Formosa experienced NE breezes and rough seas. A regular SW monsoon was experienced in the China Sea with a falling barometer. According to page 9 of the "The Law of Storms steamers bound for a northern port should run southward and shape their course so as to sail round the cyclone. In case of several steamers in this typhoon that rule was disregarded. They proceeded straight eastward and ran into the cyclone.

At 3 a. on the 18th directions were issued to hoist Two Lanterns horizontally. These indicate approaching bad weather in the Colony and that the wind is expected to back, the centre of the disturbance going to the north of the Colony. This signal was justified by events more than 24 hours after. At 4.35 a. directions were given to hoist the Black Drum. This indicates that the centre is situated between NE and SE and less than 300 nautical miles from the Colony. At this time the centre was in about 21° N, 119° E and therefore about 300 miles ESE of the Colony. At 10.10 a. the following notice was issued:-"Typhoon in Formosa Channel."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Typhoon in Formosa Channel." At this time the centre was in about 21° N, 118° E. It was intimated that it appeared to move northwards. This was justified in so far as it moved WNWestward nearly all the tiine.

　　　At 4.30 p. on the 18th the following notice was issued:-"The centre of the typhoon appears to be within 200 miles and SE of Hongkong moving Westward but to be no longer accompanied by winds of dangerous force in the northern semi-circle." All this time the black drum which indicated that the centre was between NE and SE remained hoisted. At this time the centre was in about 21° 15′ N, 117° 0′ E about 170 miles ESE of the Colony and moving WNWestward. No NE wind stronger than a gentle breeze was reported from stations to the north of the centre, but it is now known that NE and E gales were experienced outside Swatow on board the steamers Euphrates, Haitan, Fushun and Ajax. The S.S. Ancona experienced a moderate SE breeze in the northern entrance to the Formosa Channel, where it nearly always blows a NE gale while there is a typhoon south of the Formosa Channel. On the other hand, a fresh SW breeze was reported from Cape Saint James (800 miles SW of the centre) and the S.S. Memnon coming up from Borneo had a SW gale and heavy sea in 14° N, 118° E. It was strong winds from the southern semi-circle that were subsequently expe- rienced in Hongkong.-At midnight the S.S. Taicheong between Pedro Blanco and Chelang Point was in the bull's eye of the storm. Full typhoon force was not experienced till the centre was past and the steamer was in the southern semi-circle when it blew force 12 from SW.

At 12.6 a. on the 19th directions were issued to hoist Two lanterns vertically. This intimated bad weather and that the centre was expected to pass to the southward of the Colony, whereas it subse- quently passed a few miles to the north of us, but the centre was at the time moving so exactly straight towards the Colony that it was an even chance to which side it would pass, and in the absence of obser- vations from Victoria Peak, there were no data whatever for inclining to one alternative rather than the other. At midnight the centre was in about 22° 0′ N, 114° 54′ E, about 70 miles ESE of the Colony, where a moderate NW breeze with a falling barometer and Roll-cumulus clouds coming from the N and slight rain were registered. Lightning had been noted in the NW at 10 p

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST AUGUST, 1891.

719

At 1 a. directions were given to fire the Gun one round to forecast a strong gale, which began to blow at 3 a.-At 2.30 a. directions were given to fire the Gun two rounds, as the wind (a fresh gale) continued to increase in force without changing its direction from NW, thus showing that the centre continued to advance straight towards the Colony, and the barometer was falling at the rate of nearly a tenth of an inch per hour, which shows that the gradient was about a tenth of an inch in 15 miles, above which the wind reaches typhoon-force, ("Law of Storms," IV page 5). But shortly afterwards the fall was checked and the wind began to back.

　　　The lowest reading of the barometer was registered at 4.40 a. (29.019 at 32° and M. S. L.), but the greatest force of the wind was not experienced till 6.30 a. when it barely reached storm-force. It blew then 70 miles an hour from the SSW. This shows that the force of the wind was concentrated in the southern semi-circle. About 5 a. the centre appears to have been within 20 miles of the Observatory, to the north, moving still about WNWestward. At 5.52 a. the Black Cone pointing upwards. was hoisted, to indicate that the centre was situated within 300 miles to the northward of the Colony. Next morning it was intimated that the centre had entered the mainland to the E of Hongkong and was then moving NWestward in China. H.M.S. Pigmy in Canton experienced a moderate E gale about noon of the 19th. The lowest reading of the barometer 29.17 (reduced) was registered at 10 a. The centre passed about 20 miles to the south of the vessel. This shows how great was the difference between winds to the north and to the south of the centre, for the force of the wind at no time exceeded a fresh gale in Canton.

　　　At 9.30 p. on the 19th the Red Ball was hoisted to indicate that the centre was more than 300 miles from the Colony and situated between NW and SW. Shortly after noon on the 20th it was taken down.

　　　A most significant feature in connection with this typhoon is that such observations as were made by the signal-men at Victoria Peak, where full typhoon force was experienced, indicate that the centre of the typhoon passed to the south of the Colony at that altitude. Their observations during certain previous typhoons indicated partly something of the same kind. They say the wind veered from NW through NE round to SE, whereas it is certain that it backed through W to S and SE at sea-level. But it is hardly possible to accept so novel a phenomenon as true on the basis of the mere statement of eye-witnesses although to some slight extent corroborated by previous returns. The centre at an altitude of scarcely 2000 feet cannot be supposed to lie upwards of 20 miles to the south of the centre at sea-level, till that is proved beyond doubt by automatic registers, such as will be available whenever the branch-observatory, that has been for some years under consideration, is constructed. That will enable us to know more about typhoons beforehand than we do at present.

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- practically complete Thesaurus of the whole fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a

Written Language ofChina, 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.

The net profits for that period, including $120,377.54 balance brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and dne, and making provision for bad and doubtful accounts (except those referred to below), amount to $1,027,646.21.

This sum is re- quired to make up a total of $1,470,000 to be placed to Contingent Account in order to provide fully for bad and doubtful accounts sustained through the many failures and the depression of trade during the past half-year.

After making these transfers and deducting To DIVIDEND ADJUSTMENT AC- Remuneration to Directors, there remains for which the appropriation $838,547.57, of Directors recommend a Dividend of One Pound and Ten Shillings per Share on the Old Shares, and One Pound Six Shillings and Three Pence per Share on the New Shares, which at 4/6 will absorb $516,666.67.

The difference in Exchange between 4/6, the rate at which the Dividend is declared, and 3/2, the current rate of the day, amounts to $208,008.65.

The Balance $113,872.25 to be carried to New Profit and Loss Account.

The increase of the Bank's Capital has been successfully completed and it now stands at $10,000,000. The Calls have been fully paid- up and the net premium on the New Shares amounting to $2.490,901.36 has been placed to the credit of Reserve Fund which now stands at $6,300,000.

Mr.W.H. FORBES, and Mr. H. L. DALRYMPLE have resigned. The Directors invited Mr. E. L. WOODIN to join the Board which appoint- ment requires confirmation at this meeting.

Mr. G. E. NOBLE owing to ill-health has retired from foregin service and Mr. F. DE BOVIS has been appointed Chief Manager. Mr. T. JACKSON resumed charge with Mr. E. CAMERON of the London Office on 1st May.

Mr. WADE GARDNER assumed charge of the Shanghai Branch on 1st June in place of Mr. J. WALTER who, at the request of the Directors, will make a tour of inspection prior

The following Report forwarding detailed returns of the Census taken in Hongkong on 20th May last from the Honourable the Registrar General, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 17th instant, is published for general information.

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE,

‧

HONGKONG, 15th August, 1891.

　　SIR,With reference to my letter No. 142 of the 4th June last, forwarding the total number of the population of the Colony, ascertained by the Census taken on the evening of the 20th May last, I have now the honour to transmit the detailed returns.

　　2. The date fixed for taking the Census in Great Britain and its dependencies was the 5th of April. As it was known that many of the Chinese resident in Hongkong would be absent from the Colony during the month of April in order to be present at the worshipping of tombs festival in China, it was decided to take the Census in Hongkong on the 30th April. On further enquiries being made it was found that many of the absentees would not return till May, and it was also ascertained that a large number of Chinese leave the Colony every year about the end of April and beginning of May to attend a festival in honour of the Queen of Heaven held at a place on the mainland of China called Ch'ik Wan. Under these circumstances the date for taking the Census was again postponed till the evening of the 20th of May, as it was obviously undesirable to take a Census of the people at a time when many of the residents would not be in the Colony.

　　3. The previous Census was taken in 1881 on the 3rd April, a date which, as already indicated, is not a favourable one for enumerating the people. But as, for some reason which I have not been able to discover, five per cent. was added in the case of the Chinese resident in Victoria and the Villages and ten per cent. in the case of the boat population of Victoria to the actual numbers ascertained by the taking of the Census, it is probable that the figures of the 1881 Census are rather in excess of what was the real population than below it. On this account, therefore, the increase in the population shown by the 1891 Census is all the more striking.

　　4. A reference to Return I A and I B will show that the total population now amounts to 221,441, as compared with a total of 160,402 in 1881, showing an increase in ten years of 61,039 or 38.05 per cent., which is equivalent to an annual increase of 3.27

per cent.

　　5. Inquiry into the growth of the population of the Colony since the taking of the first Census in 1857, when the population was 77,094, up to the present year, shows that there has been a steady increase at the rate of 3.15 per cent. each year. From Return II, in which is given the result of each Census held in Hongkong, of which there have been seventeen, it will be seen that the largest annual increase took place between the years 1872-1876, viz., 3.345 per cent. The second largest annual increase is that which has occurred between 1881-1891, viz., 3.277 per cent.

人

　　6. An examination into the European and American population (including the Military and Navy), which amounts to 8,545 as compared with 7,990 in 1881 (see Return I 4 and I B) shows an increase of 555, the chief increase being in the resident civil population, which is 1,155 larger than it was ten years ago, and the chief decrease being under the head of British Navy, which in 1881 was 2,437, and in 1891 only 1,356, a falling off of 1,081, owing to nearly all the men-of-war having been absent from the waters of the Colony when the Census was taken. The numbers of the Military show an increase of 225, there being a decrease under all heads except that of men, which shows an increase of 275.

　　7. An analysis of the numbers of the various nationalities which constitute the European and American resident population, exclusive of the British Army and Navy, is given in Return III A and III B. The chief increase is among the British, with a total of 1,448 as compared with 785 in 1881, which is equivalent to an increase of 84.46 per cent. The Portuguese population in 1881 was 1,869. It now shows an increase of 220, the total being 2,089, or an increase of 11.77 per cent. There has been a marked falling off under the head of Portuguese Boys and Girls, in the former case to the number of 137, in the latter to the extent of 68. It is believed that a great check has been given to the growth of the Portuguese population in Hongkong owing to the difficulty now experienced by the Portuguese in finding employment. Positions once open to and generally held by them are now occupied by Britishers or members of other nationalities, so that the number of Portuguese employed in European firms is fewer than it used to be and seems likely to decrease still further. The German population has increased from 188 to 208; the American from 70 to 93, and the French from 42 to 89.

746

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND AUGUST, 1891.

　　　8. During the last ten years it has often been remarked that the mode of life among Europeans in Hongkong has gradually been undergoing a change. Fortunes are not made so rapidly as in the old days, and Europeans, having to live in the Colony for long periods, begin to regard it more as a permanent home, which has led to there being more of what may be called "family life" than formerly. The figures of the Census tend to support this view, at any rate, so far as the British resident popula- tion is concerned. In it the male adult population has grown in ten years from 336 to 795, or more than doubled itself, and the female adult population has increased from 161 to 300, or 86.33 per cent., while the total number of boys and girls has increased from 288 to 353, or 22.57 per cent.

　　　9. The figures of the Chinese population (see Return IA and I B) show that it has grown from a total of 150,690 to a total of 210,995, which is an increase of 60,305, or 40.01 per cent. Of the 210,995, 154,647 have been returned as natives of the Kwangtung Province, and 7,286 as natives of Hongkong, (see Return IV) whereas in 1881 the natives of Hongkong returned amounted to 3,668 only. This would seem to indicate that many of the Chinese resident here now regard the Colony as their home and do not hesitate to declare it as such. As was anticipated, the greatest increase has taken place in the city of Victoria, where the population amounts to 136,901, that is 40,045, or 41.3 per cent., more than the population of 1881, which was 96,856. In Return V will be found the population of each of the ten districts into which the city of Victoria is divided. As the population of each district was not given among the Census Returns of 1881, it is not possible to ascertain to what extent each district has grown in numbers since that year.

　　　10. The question of overcrowding in the city of Victoria is one which has excited attention for long, and last year an exhaustive report on the subject was submitted to Government. As to the figures representing the population contained in that report, it is stated-

"The enumeration of the people has been made by the Chinese district watchmen working "under the Registrar General. The method adopted was that of verbal inquiry of the "householders. The Committee believe they are justified in assuming that the returns "they have received are fairly correct, but they cannot be viewed as being absolutely "accurate as it is probable that in several instances the answers given to the district "watchmen depended in some measure on the idea which each particular person answer-

ing had as to the object of the question put."

　　　11. In order that the figures ascertained by the Census might be compareil with those con- tained in the overcrowding report, the enumerators appointed to enumerate the population of the city of Victoria were instructed to follow the division of the City into 275 blocks, made by the late Surveyor General, for the use of the Committee appointed to inquire into the question of overcrowding and adopted by them in their report, each enumerator being assigned one or more blocks according to the estimated population. A return has been drawn up (Return VI) showing the difference between the figures of the overcrowding report, which were regarded by those who collected them as being pro- bably understated, and of the Census. A comparison between these two sets of figures shows that, though there may be discrepancies between them as to the detailed population of each block, the Census Returns by their total population of the same area as is covered by the overcrowding report not only support the opinion expressed in the report as to overcrowding, but show that overcrowding generally must be even greater than the report represents it to be. The total Chinese population of Victoria given in the overcrowding report is 125,901, whereas the Chinese population of Victoria as ascertained by the Census amounts to 136,901, a difference of 11,000. This matter will, no doubt, receive the attention of the sanitary authorities, to whose notice, however, I would recommend the following passage from a recent work on Chinese Characteristics:-

"Besides this, we must take account of the fact that in China breathing seems to be optional.

We hear much of Chinese overcrowding, but overcrowding is the normal "condition of the Chinese, and they do not appear to be inconvenienced by it at all, or "in so trifling a degree, that it scarcely deserves mention. If they had an outfit of Anglo- "Saxon nerves, they would be as wretched as we frequently suppose them to be."

　　　12. Great as the increase of the Chinese population during the past decade has been in Victoria, it has been proportionately greater still in the villages or outlying districts of the Colony, taken as a whole (see Return VII A and VII B). The total population in them has almost doubled itself,

having grown from 16,606 in 1881 to 32,490 in 1891. Kaulung and Shauki Wan are the two districts in which the chief increase has taken place, in both of which places the population is more than double what it was in 1881; the figures being-

19,997

6,669

　　　13. The increase in Kaulung is due to a variety of causes, among which may be enumerated the extended operations of the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company; the establishment of the Pier and Godown Company, the head-quarters of which are at Kaulung, and which finds employment for a large number of people, who are engaged in handling and storing the cargoes of the numerous ocean- going steamers, which go alongside the Company's wharves: the improved communication between

the city of Victoria and Kaulung by means of a regular service of steam-launches; the increase in the number of European-built houses, in which a large number of Chinese find employment. There has also been a great development within the last 10 years of the boat-building and timber trade at Taikok Tsui and Mongkok Tsui. At the former place there are

　　　　　　　　　　At the former place there are no less than 14 boat-building sheds, several with patent slips, and four large timber yards. At Mongkok Tsui not only is there a large boat- building trade carried on, but steamers and steam-launches are also constructed there. New soy factories have also been established at Mongkok Tsui, Hunghom, and Yaumati, and new tanneries at Mat'au Ch'ung and Tokwa Wan, while a good deal of ground has been reclaimed at Yaumati and many new houses built there. If the railway between Kaulung and Canton, which is so often talked about, becomes an accomplished fact, the growth of the Kaulung peninsula, which has already been rapid, will be still further accelerated.

14. The increase at Shauki Wan is due almost entirely to the establishment at Quarry Bay of the Sugar Works of Messrs. BUTTERFIELD & SWIRE, at which are employed from 1,500 to 2,000 hands, and which have given rise in their immediate neighbourhood to quite a flourishing community, where ten years ago there was not a single house.

15. The boat population (see Return I A and I B) now amounts to 32,035 as compared with 28,989 in 1881, which represents an increase of 3,046. The only place where there is a decrease in the boat population is at Stanley. In 1881, the boat population there was 981. It is now only 568. The largest increase is at Kaulung, where the boat population has risen from 4,472 to 6,447.

　　　16. The number of vessels has increased from 4,226 to 5,220. In Return VIII A and VIII B will be found a description of the various vessels. From this table it would appear that trading junks have decreased from 72 to 15, but the small number returned is due to many of the junks having been absent from the Colony on the day on which the Census was taken and to some of those which were here having been confounded with some other class of boat. That there has been no great falling off in the junk trade of this Colony up to the end of 1890 is shown by a return (Return IX A) which has been kindly furnished by the Acting Harbour Master, and which shows the total number and tonnage of junks entered in the Colony from. 1881 to 1890. In 1881, the junks entered numbered 28,806, and the tonnage amounted to 1,819,390; in 1890, the figures were 28,018, and 1,958,855. The number of steam-launches which was in 1881, 23, has now reached 81, a number of which few harbours can boast. To complete the statistical account of the shipping of this Colony during the past ten years, a return, IX B, also supplied by the Acting Harbour Master, is attached showing the number and tonnage of steamers and sailing vessels entered in the Colony from 1881 to 1890. The number of steamers has increased in ten years from 2,750 with a tonnage of 2,599,460 to 3,989 with a tonnage of 4,791,839, and the sailing vessels have decreased from 464 with a tonnage of 253,819 to 125 with a tonnage of 101,894.

17. One of the most interesting features in connection with the Census is the increase in the number of Chinese families. In 1868, when forwarding the annual Census returns for the year 1867, the Registrar General, Mr. (now Sir) CECIL SMITH, wrote as follows:-

"I would next draw attention to Return No. 3 which shews that during the past year a fair "increase in the number of buildings for the Chinese, and in the number of families, viz., 189, over the previous year, which settled in the Colony. This latter point is, I hold, "of considerable importance as evincing a gradual surmounting of old prejudices on the part of native residents-formerly deemed insurmountable by many-against bringing "their wives and families to live in a British Colony, or indeed in any place out of their

own country.'

To judge from the figures of the present Census, the prejudice may be said to have almost entirely disappeared, for whereas in 1881, the returns showed a total of 11,859 families, the present returns show a total of 17,349, or an increase of 5,490 families in ten years, or about 550 a year (see Return XI B).

The increase in the number of women in the Chinese population also tends to show that the objection on the part of the Chinese to take their women with them when they emigrate, a point which Anti-Chinese agitators in America and Australia are ever ready to avail themselves of as an argument against Chinese immigration, does not extend to Hongkong, which may be due in a great measure to the proximity of this Colony to the mainland of China. In 1881, the women, land population, numbered 21,640; they now number 33,523, an increase of 11,883, or 54.9 per cent., and bear the proportion of 1 to 3.37 of the adult-male, land population, which amounts to 113,241.

18. In his speech on the Census of 1881, the Governor, Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY, stated "that as "the Colony makes progress, the revenue should improve without the imposition of any new taxes." The principle laid down by Sir JONH POPE HENNESSY is fully borne out by a comparison between the figures showing the increase of the population and the growth of the revenue since 1876. No new taxes have been imposed since that date, though since 1885 the municipal rates have been fixed at 13 per cent. of the annual rateable value instead of at 12 per cent. as formerly, and since 1886 at 7 per cent. instead of 6 per cent. in the villages. This will account for some of the increase in the revenue, after 1885 and 1886, but for only a comparatively small portion, as may be seen on reference to Return

　　　An examination of these figures reveals that, between 1876 and 1881, the population increased 15.28 per cent., or 30.56 in ten years, and the revenue 28.62 in five years, or 57.24 per cent. in ten years.

　　　　　　Between 1881 and 1891, the population increased 38.05 per cent., and the revenue 74.17 per cent., which shows that the revenue has more than kept pace with the increasing population.

　　　19. An attempt has been made this Census to acquire information regarding the educational statistics of the Colony. For this purpose the heading "No. attending school" was added to the Census forms, and in the Age Table (v. Return XI 4.) instead of following the division of ages, 20 and under, adopted in the former Census, the ages under twenty have been divided into 3 periods, 5 and under, 6 to 16, 17 to 20. Of these periods that of 6 to 16 is regarded as the school-going age. From Return XII B it appears there are in Hongkong of persons of school-going age-

making a total of 7,373, attend school, or less than of those returned as

20. The number of those returned as attending school (v. Return XII C) is evidently not accurate, which may be due to the term school having been wrongly considered by some of the Chinese to include Government schools only. Whether that be the case or not, the inaccuracy of the returns is proved by the fact that on the same day on which the general Census was held, a Census was also taken of the number of children actually attending school on that day (See Return XII 4)./ This return shows that on the 20th May as many as 8,085 children actually attended school, though it was a rainy day such as, I am informed, keeps about 10 per cent. of children from school.

If this 10 per cent. be added, the number of children attending school may be estimated at 8,893 which sum comes near the number actually enrolled in 1890, viz., 9,681. Deducting the number of children attending school, 8,893, from the number of persons of school-going age, viz., 22,298, there would be left 13,405 persons not accounted for. Of this number some are educated by private tutors, but it would be difficult to say how many, and the remainder must be presumed to be uneducated. On this point the Inspector of Schools, Dr. EITEL, whom I have consulted, writes as follows:-

In England and Wales somewhat over one half and in Ireland less than one half of those children (5 to 13 years of age), who ought to attend school, actually come under "instruction bearing one language only.

In Hongkong, where most children learn two languages (English as well as Chinese, or "English as well as Portuguese) and where, consequently, the school-going age covers "a longer period (6th to 16th year of age), the case is certainly no worse than in "England and Wales with its compulsory attendance laws.

But the great difference is that, while in England and Wales the existing school accommo- "dation exceeds the demands of actual attendance, in Hongkong the existing accommo- "dation is hardly sufficient for the actual attendance.'

21. In Return XIII will be found the number of public and private buildings in the Colony of Hongkong on the 20th May last, which shows that the number of houses assessed at and above ￡100 (say $600 value) a nounted in Hongkong to 1,561 as compared with 983, and in Kaulung to 63 as com- pared with 4, in 1881; and that the number of shops and private dwellings assessed below ￡100 (say $600 value) per annum amounted in Hongkong to 7,331 as compared with 6,773, and in Kaulung to 1,665 as compared with 977, in 1881. The number of inhabited dwellings, exclusive of naval and military buildings and boats, is 10,620, with a population of 186,506, which gives an average of more than 18 persons to each house. There has also been an increase in the number of naval and military buildings. The number of unoccupied houses amounted to 230 in the city of Victoria, 150 in the Villages, and 145 in Kaulung. A return, XIV, is attached showing the number of unoccupied houses in each district from 1881 to 1891, from which it will be seen that in 1881, 1882, 1883 and 1884, the number of unoccupied houses was larger than at present, and that in 1891 there are fewer houses unoccupied than there were in 1890. In return XV will be found the occupations of the

Chinese residents.

GREAT SANDY STRAIT.

ALTERATION IN POSITION OF LEADING LIGHTS FOR STEWART ISLAND CUTTING. Notice is hereby given, that, on and after 23rd July, two white lights for leading through Steward Island Cutting will be exhibited from triangular beacons on Stewart Island to the southward of the cutting; and the lights (red and white) hitherto shown from beacons north of the cutting will be discontinued.

　　　Directions.-Vessels from the southward will proceed with the Fig-tree lights in line until the lower light of the lead on Stewart Island opens out as a bright light, when they should haul up quickly and steer for it, passing it at a distance of 100 feet and gradually bringing the two white lights in line astern. Keep them in line until the Moonboom Island lights are in line, when proceed as usual. By following these directions a vessel will have a depth of 7 feet at low-water springs.

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 ofChina, ancient and moderu, 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.

This Standard Work on theChinese 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 Marderin 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 following is published.

By Command,

W. M. GOODMAN,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

SIR,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong,, 23rd September, 1891.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, September 11th, 1891.

　　　In accordance with instructions I have made an enquiry into the cause of the whitish appearance of the Taitam and Pokfulam waters at certain seasons of the year, and I have the honour to submit to you the attached report.

After a careful investigation I found that, as might be inferred from a knowledge of the geological formation of the collecting areas, the waters differ in no material respect as to the nature, and but very little as to the quantities of the dissolved and suspended constituents.

I have consulted with the Resident Engineer of the Water and Drainage Department, and have shown him my report, and he concurs with me, in order to avoid delay that it is better to forward you this at once, leaving the joint report on the best practical means of ridding the water of its occasional whitish appearance, until we have had time to consider more in detail the facts I now subunit.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

THE COLONIAL SURGEON.

E. W. LUCAS, Acting Apothecary and Analyst.

A REPORT ON THE "WHITISH APPEARANCE" OF THE TAITAM

AND POKFULAM WATERS.

　　　1. PRELIMINARY The hills forming the watersheds of Taitam and Pokfulam consist chiefly of Granite and Syenite, Both are highly felspathic rocks, more or less weathered, disintegration having occurred in some places to such an extent as to form clayey beds of laterite with boulders of unaltered rock lying in them.

2. The water draining from the slopes at these hills constitutes the chief supply of the city, and although in some respects it answers to the description of an "upland surface water," yet it must be taken into consideration that several of the more important streamlets are fed by springs which exist even in seasons of extreme drought.

　　　3. Except during and immediately after heavy rains the water in these streams is clear, containing less than 5 grains of total solids per gallon, but during and after rainstorms, the waters are rendered turbid from the presence of suspended matter, derived chiefly from the disintegrated granite, to which the reddish colour is due. This undesirable feature is much aggravated wherever the hill sides have been cut into by road making or building operations. Recently this has been partially remedied by turfing over the exposed surfaces, but I doubt if it is now possible, to avoid the deteriorating effect, due to the exposed surfaces of roads. I suggest that no further excavations of any kind should be permitted within the drainage areas without the strictest conditions being enforced, and as far as possible all exposed surfaces turfed.

　　　4. FILTRATION:---The turbid water that comes down during heavy rains is extremely difficult to filter. It frequently contains as much as 10 grains of finely divided suspended matter in each gallon. At Pokfulam the immediate filtering of water in such a condition is obviated very simply. After a rainstorm the muddy water is allowed to flow directly into the reservoir, where it is immediately discharged by the scouring-out pipe, or undergoes a partial subsidence before being drawn off. As soon however as the principal stream has cleared itself, it is intercepted, and conducted by pipes laid along the bank of the reservoir into the conduit direct. The results of such an arrangement are very apparent. The filtering beds receiving comparatively clear water are not clogged up so quickly, and do not require such frequent cleaning. They are also better able to exercise their purifying and oxidising functions. This is a most important point and should not be overlooked, for if a filter bed has had an almost impermeable layer of clayey material deposited on its surface, it is evident that greater pressure must be brought to bear to force the water through if the normal rate of filtration is to be maintained. This tends to drive fine particles for some distance into the filtering medium, blocking up the interstices, and preventing the efficient working of the filter.

　　　5. Could the same system be carried out at Taitam, comparatively clear water being led directly to the conduit, a great improvement would be effected.. May the 19th last is an instance when after an exceedingly heavy rainfall following a long period of dry weather, the water issuing from the Pokfulam Conduit, contained less than 3 grains per gallon of total solids, while that delivered from Taitam contained 13 grains per gallon. It will be observed that the difference in total solids between these two is 10 grains, chiefly due to matter in suspension, then, supposing two million gallons pass through the beds daily, over one ton per day of suspended matter has to be removed, and this ton of material remains as a gelatinous scum on the surface of the filters.

　　　6. The sand in use at either works does not seem to be very suitable. Being collected from the sea shore, it contains a great deal of broken shell, which I do not think can be so good a filtering medium as a sand consisting chiefly of quartz grains, broken down sandstone, &c.

7. It is owing to the composition of the sand that the water is somewhat harder after filtration than it was before. This is no doubt caused by a little Bicarbonate of lime being taken into solution from the action of the Carbonic Acid in the water on the broken shell contained in the sand. This increase in hardness in no way impairs the dietetic value of the water, but is rather an advantage as the water is naturally so very soft.

　　　8. STORAGE--The storage of the water after filtration is a matter of great importance, especially in the immediate vicinity of towns. The principal companies in England store all their filtered water in covered reservoirs. In a tropical climate the advantages to be derived from following a similar plan would appear to be manifold. At the Pokfulam Filtering Station the filtered water is so stored in a covered tank, where being protected from the direct rays of the sun and all external influences, it is preserved cool and clean, and suffers little if any deterioration.

　　　9. At the Albany on the contrary, the service tank is open, and in an exposed situation, consequently the water gets heated, loses a part of its dissolved gases, and rapidly becomes flat and vapid. Besides this the surface of the water in the tank never appears to be clean, always containing more or less floating debris, which under the existing conditions cannot possibly be kept out, and probably accounts for the slightly larger amount of Ammonia in excess of the Pokfulam supply.

10. After filtration the water is of a very high standard of purity, notwithstanding its occasional milky appearance. In fact there are very few water supplies equal to this, and I know of none that rank above it. The organic constituents and Chlorine are exceptionally low, and even in its worst condition, the water is softer and contains less total solids than almost any public supply in Great Britain.

　　　11. CAUSE OF WHITISH APPEARANCE:--In my opinion the cause of the whitish appearance does not originate in the reservoirs or filtering beds as has been supposed, but must be referred to the source. of the water.

12. The water falling as rain permeates the rocks, and yields up its dissolved Oxygen and Carbonic Acid to substances capable of combining with them, often penetrating great distances, and probably meeting with subterranean sources of Carbonic Acid which it absorbs, thereby increasing its solvent action. The rocks most acted upon are felspathic, consisting chiefly of Alumina, Iron, Calcium, Mag- nesia, Silica, and the Alkalis. The action of a soft aerated water on such rocks consists not merely in

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH SEPTEMBER, 1891. 837

　solution, but in the decomposition of the Silicates. The porosity of rocks which such a penetration presupposes is of a very general character, even as regards the most compact rocks. Calcium Silicate is readily decomposed by a solution of Carbonic Acid, Alkaline Carbonates, but Magnesium Silicate is unaffected by either. Of the substances present in spring water, some such as the Earthy Carbonates are no doubt derived from direct solution of the rocks, but there are others such as the Alkaline Car- bonates which do not exist in any rocks. Such substances can only be supposed to originate from the decomposition of the minerals contained within the rocks. It is such a decomposition of minerals contained in rocks that in my opinion causes the whitish appearance of the Taitam and Pokfulam waters. This is not peculiar to Hongkong, but is known in a few other localities, one of which is Worcester, England. The action may be shortly described as consisting in the abstraction of the whole of the Alkali, two thirds of the Silica, and the assumption of water as shewn in the following simple chemical equation :-

Carbon dioxide.

Water.

Soda felspar.

Nag Al2 016 Si。 H2 Al2 Og Si2

Kaolin.

Co2 Na2 Cos

H2O 4 Si O2

Silica.

Sodium Carbonate.

An ultimate product being a hydrated silicate of aluminium, existing as a soft white unctuous powder known as Kaolin. This on account of its low specific gravity and extremely fine state of division remains suspended in the water for an indefinite period, and practically defies simple filtration, even in small quantities except through its own sediment.

　　　13. The following is an extract from a report on the Worcester Water Supply, by the City Analyst, Mr. H. SWETE:-

"The water is taken from the Severn one mile above the city, passed through filter beds "of sand and gravel, (which are cleansed weekly) then pumped up to a reservoir on a hill, "and supplied by gravitation to dwelling houses; 1,600,000 gallons are pumped daily. The "water contains peat and kaolin (white-water) from the decomposition of the Felspathic "rocks in Montgomeryshire......White-water cannot be clarified by filtration."

Below are the results of an analysis of the Worcester Water, and for the sake of comparison I attach a copy of a recent analysis of the supplies here. I refrain from making any further comment beyond pointing out that if the Carbonate of Lime in the Worcester Water Supply was removed, the figures for practical purposes would be identical. The amount of Carbonate of Lime in the Worcester Water is indicated by the degree of hardness :-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH SEPTEMBER, 1891-

This analysis conclusively proves what I have advanced in this report to the origin of the solids in the water. It should be borne in mind that the quantities of several of the constituents vary according to the time of the year. Owing to the proximity of the reservoir to the sea, strong gales carry the spray inland, which fact alone accounts for a variation in the sodium chloride figure. I have frequently detected the presence of salt in rain, and have estimated the amount. In June last in rain collected near the hospital, in a special apparatus, the quantity of chlorine varied from .77 to 1.1 grains per gallon, which was doubtless due to variations in the force of the wind.

　　　15. CONCLUSIONS:-There remains now only to suggest a possible remedy for the whitish appear- ance of the water. This is a matter of considerable difficulty, and as stated in the covering letter, it has been arranged with the Resident Engineer to make a joint report as directed. I deem it wise however to make some preliminary suggestions in the hope that they may be found of some service.

　　　16. It has been found that the power of water to hold clay in suspension is increased by the presence of small quantities of Alkali, Alkaline Carbonates, or Earthy Carbonates, while it is diminished by addition of small quantities of Sulphuric Acid, Alum, or Sodium Chloride.

　　　17. It seems self-evident that one of the most important things is to do away with the necessity of filtering extremely turbid water by a more extended application of the principle in use at Pokfulam and described in paragraph 4. Secondly, that the ground in the collecting areas should be disturbed as little as possible, and if landslips of any magnitude occur, the freshly exposed surfaces should be protected by turfing or otherwise. It does not seem that much else can be done in the way of prevention. The formation of Kaolin in the water in the first instance cannot be stopped, while as for removing it when formed, by simple filtration, the experience of the Worcester authorities and the Engineer here, is that it cannot be accomplished. Chemical treatment previous to filtration will have to be resorted to, if it is considered essential, to have a perfectly bright water at all seasons of the year. I have made numerous experiments, but I do not think anything would answer on a large scale excepting treatment with an Alum. Several substances if added to turbid water have the property of precipitating the suspended matter, but all are more objectionable than Potash Alum. The Alum treatment has already been the subject of a memoir by Mr. CROW, and will be fully dealt with in a future communication. It should be borne in mind that for a great part of the year, the unfiltered water is comparatively clear and does not require chemical treatment.

18. I desire to add in conclusion that the doubts that I have heard expressed as to the unsuit- ability of the water for drinking purposes are absolutely without foundation. It is a matter for congratulation that the public have such an excellent supply-even although it does at times contain a minute quantity of inert mineral matter, occasioning a faint milky appearance-instead of being largely dependent as they were formerly on a number of shallow wells, which may have yielded a bright and sweet tasting water, but which were in too many instances charged with all kinds of organic filth in various states of decomposition.

Such notice shall be print- ed in English and Chinese, and the farmer shall supply copies thereof to all persons licensed by him under this Ordinance, and every such licensed person shall exhibit such notice in the place where he sells prepared opium, in a conspicuous position, so as to be plainly visible to every person entering such place.

21. The opium farmer shall not during the three months preceding the end of his term, prepare more than the usual quantity of opium, and neither he nor his licensees shall during such three months sell any prepared opium at less than the average current prices of the day, or in greater quantities than is usual at the time of year, and at the end of his term such farmer or his licensees shall not sell, ex- port or otherwise make away with or dispose of any of his or their stock of prepared opium, but shall make over to the incoming farmer the full and complete stock of raw or prepared opium then in their possession, at the marketable value thereof together with all furniture, fittings and imple- ments used in or about the opium farmer's premises for the purposes of his privilege and the incoming farmer shall be bound to take over and pay for the same accordingly.

22. All licensees of the Governor in Council under sec- tion 15, when there is no opium farmer, shall, during the last three months of the period of their licences, be subject to such restrictions as to the quantities of opium they shall prepare and sell as the Governor in Council may from time to time determine.

23. In the event of any difference arising between the incoming and out-going opium farmers as to the quantities of prepared opium produced or sold during the last three months of the term, and the value of the same, or as to the nature and quantity of the raw or prepared opium so to be purchased or made over, or the values thereof, or as to the value of the furniture, fittings and implements aforesaid such difference may be determined by three arbitrators, one to be appointed by the new farmer, one by the out-going farmer, and one by the Governor.

26. The Governor shall fix the time within which the award of such arbitrators is to be completed, and such time shall be specified on the appointment of each arbitrator.

27. The arbitrators shall have the same powers as if the appointment and reference to arbitration had been made by an order of the Supreme Court under the said Code, and their award in each case shall be final.

28. Nothing in sections 24 to 26 shall be so construed as to compel either the incoming or out-going farmer to submit any difference whatever between them to arbitration to the exclusion of any suit or action, and should either of them, within the ten days specified in section 25, notify the Colonial Secretary in writing that he prefers to bring or to defend any suit or action, the arbitration shall not take place, and both parties shall be allowed, at their option, to resort to ordinary legal procedure.

Where practicable, all offences under this section shall be enquired into and adjudicated on by two Magistrates sitting together.

40. Any opium forfeited and detained under the preceding section may be disposed of as the Governor in Council directs; and no Police officer or other person lawfully holding or storing such opium shall be liable to any penalty under this Ordinance by reason of such opium not being accompanied by a certificate under section 12 or otherwise.

Procedure.

41.

42. In dismissing any charge or complaint under this Ordinance on the ground that such charge or complaint is false, or frivolous and vexatious, it shall be the duty of the Court to impose upon the person bringing such charge a penalty not exceeding that which the defendant would have incurred if convicted upon such charge or complaint, and such penalty shall be over and above any other penalties or liabilities which the said person may have likewise in- curred in respect of his said charge or complaint or of his evidence in support thereof.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

(Nos. 489-490 of the year 1891)

　　　(1307) Korea-South coast.- Crichton harbour.--Middle anchorage.-Alteration of the depths.-The following inform- ation has been received from navigating lieutenant Y. Tanaka of H. I. J. M. S. Nisshin June 1891 that, soundings in the channel from the south entrance of Crichton harbour to the middle anchorage of this harbour have received some change since 1886, because the same officer has obtained the soundings of 3 fathoms over a bottom of shell at 23 cables northeast- ward of Snake point, the castern end of Montebello island, where were formerly found depths of no less than 4 fathoms at low water. Also that near this anchorage, 2 cables eastward of the north-east point at Montebello island, where were formerly found depths of 4 fathoms at low water (sand and shell) there are now only 3 fathoms of water over a bottom of soft mud and at 1 cable eastward of this place, soundings increase quickly to 8 and 9 fathoms at low water.

　　　It is probable that soundings and the nature of bottom among the islands of Korea south coast are subject to the frequent change by the tidal current and other causes.

This notice affects the following Hydrographic Office charts :-Nos. 156, 227.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD OCTOBER, 1891.

(1309) Korea-South coast.--Quelpart island.-Giu-to (Beaufort) anchorage.-The following information has been received from navigating lieutenant Y. Tanaka of H. I. J. M. S. Nisshin that, in Quelpart island there are five anchorages, but the only safe anchorage in fine weather is one called Giu-to anchorage. This anchorage is in 5 to 13 fathoms (sand and shell) in the mid channel between the eastern extreme of this island and Giu-to, and the bottom nearer the shore is full of rock. It is very dangerous to anchor in the mid channel unless in fine weather as there is very strong tidal stream, and as this anchorage is open to south and north, it is necessary that the vessels will get away immediately when north or southeast wind will blow. In the midst of this channel, the flood stream sets to northward at the rate of 24 miles an hour in fine weather, and the ebb stream sets to southward at the rate of 2 miles an hour with slack water of 15 minutes. It is said that in summer, when south-cast wind will blow, the velocity of the flood stream increases to nearly 3 miles.

Foul bay-This bay is formed by cape Dundas, the eastern extreme of Quelpart island, and Peile point south of it, and when seen from a distance, it appears to afford shelter from south round west to north, but according to the statement of the natives, this bay is not suitable to anchor having uneven rocky bottom, and many vessels having anchored there were obliged to escape by slipping their cables.

　　　MY LORD,-Your Lordship is probably aware that Her Majesty's Government have appointed the Council of the Society of Arts a Royal Commission for the British Section of the Chicago Exhibition of 1893.

　　　I am requested to express the hope of the Royal Commission that Your Lordship will be so good as to communicate this fact to the Governors of Her Majesty's Colonies and Dependencies in order that such of them as desire to avail themselves of the services of the Royal Commission may put themselves in direct communication with it, while such of the self-governing Colonies as decide to appoint Commissions of their own for the Chicago Exhibition, would doubtless desire to enter into communication with the Royal Commission with a view of securing harmonious working in all arrange- ments connected with the exhibition of the poducts of the British Empire.

Regulation as to

giving of security

　　for ships engaged in postal service.

3.-(1.) Where the owner of any ships, British or foreign, applies to the High Court in England, and

(a) produces a certificate of a Secretary of State that such owner is subsidised for the execution of any postal service within the meaning of a Con- vention with a Foreign State to which this Act applies, by reason of receiving from the Foreign State, or from the Government of the United Kingdom or of a British possession, a bona fide subsidy for the postal service mentioned in the certificate, and

(b) produces sufficient evidence of the nature of the said service and the num- bereof and the prescribed particulars respecting the ships engaged therein, and

the High Court, after hearing the owner, and the Board of Trade if they wish to be heard, shall fix the nature and amount of the security which the owner ought to place under the control of the court for the purposes of this Act as respects the ships engaged in that postal service, and fix the maximum number and tonnage of the ships to which the security is to apply.

(2.) The security shall be the bond of the owner guaranteed either

(a.) by the personal security of a surety, accompanied by an adequate real

security given by the surety; or,

(b.) by the payment or transfer into court of cash, or of securities of the

Government of the United Kingdom.

(3.) If the owner gives such security to the satisfaction of the High Court, then so long as the security is maintained and is sufficient to the satisfaction of the Court, and the number and tonnage of the ships for the time being actually engaged in carrying mails for the postal service in respect of which the security is given does not exceed the number and tonnage of the ships to which the security applies, the ships actually engaged in carrying mails for the said service shall be deemed to be exempted mail

ships, and be entitled to the exemptions and privileges given by this Act to exempted mail ships; and the Board of Trade shall give the prescribed notices for informing the arresting authorities that the ships actually engaged in carrying the mails for the said postal service are exempted mail ships.

(4.) Notice of every application respecting any security given in pursuance of this section shall be given to the Board of Trade.

(5.) If at any time it appears to the Board of Trade that a security given as respects ships engaged in any postal service is from any cause (whether pending claims, variation of the conditions of the service, or otherwise) insufficient, the Board of Trade shall apply to the High Court, and that Court, if satisfied of such insufficiency, shall require the security to be made sufficient to the satisfaction of the Court within a reasonable time, and direct that in default the ships engaged in the postal service shall cease to be exempted mail ships, and that the Board of Trade shall give the prescribed notices for informing the arresting authorities of such cesser.

(6.) The amount and nature of the security may be varied and the whole security may be withdrawn, and the income of the security may be disposed of, by order of the High Court from time to time on such application either of the shipowners, or of the Board of Trade, or of any person appearing to be interested, and in such manner, and after such notice, and upon such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by rules of court, or, so far as the rules do not extend, as the Court may think just.

(7.) Provided that before the security is actually withdrawn, the High Court shall be satisfied-

(a) that the prescribed notice of the order for withdrawal has been given to

the arresting authorities; and

(b) that there is no pending claim for the purposes of which the security may

be required;

and upon the prescribed notice of the order for withdrawal being given to an arresting authority, the ships shall, as respects that authority, cease, after the date specified in the notice, to be exempted ships.

　　　(8.) Rules of court may be made for carrying this section into effect, and in particular for regulating the nature, amount, and value of the security to be given, and the mode of giving security, and of giving notices to the arresting authorities, and for providing for the evidence of the exemption of ships under this section, and for the information to be given from time to time to the High Court respecting the ships to which the security applies, and for the jurisdiction of the High Court under this Act being exercised in chambers.

(2.) Provided that nothing in this section shall render invalid the arrest or deten- tion of a ship before the prescribed notice has been given to the arresting authority, but such authority, on proof that the ship is an exempted mail ship, shall release the ship. Where the Commissioners of Customs, in pursuance of any Act or as a condition of waiving any forfeiture, require a deposit to be made by any exempted mail ship to which this section applies, the amount of such deposit shall, on notice from the Commissioners of Customs, and without any further proceeding, be set apart out of the security as money belonging to the said Commissioners, and shall be paid and applied as they direct, and any rules of court relating to such notice, payment, or application shall be made with the consent of the Treasury.

6.-(1.) Where the convention with a Foreign State provides that any provisions of the convention similar to those contained in this Act shall in any cases apply to a public ship of a Foreign State when employed as a mail ship, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty the Queen to agree that the like provisions shall apply to a public ship of Her Majesty in the like cases when employed as a mail ship, and to give effect to such agreement.

(2.) An Order in Council applying this Act as regards a Convention with a Foreign State may,

if it seems to Her Majesty in Council to be consistent with the Convention so to do, apply this Act as regards a public ship of that Foreign State when employed as a mail ship in the cases authorised by the Convention, and this Act shall apply accord- ingly, as if such ship were an exempted mail ship belonging to a private owner, and any person may be arrested on board such ship accordingly.

7.-(1.) Every fine under this Act, if exceeding fifty pounds, may be recovered by action in the High Court in England or Ireland or in the Court of Session in Scot- land, and the court in which it is recovered may reduce the amount of such fine, and a fine under this Act not exceeding fifty pounds may be recovered on summary conviction, provided that every offence for which a fine exceeding fifty pounds can be imposed under this Act may be prosecuted on summary conviction, but the fine imposed on such conviction shall not exceed fifty pounds.

(2.) In the case of a summary conviction, any person who thinks himself aggrieved by such conviction may appeal to quarter sessions. In Scotland such person may appeal 38 & 39 Vict. c. 62. in manner provided by the Summary Prosecutions Appeals (Scotland) Act, 1875.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH OCTOBER, 1891.

　　　Provided that before it is applied to any British Possession named in the schedule to this Act the Government of such possession shall have adhered to the Convention.

　　　(2.) Where this Act applies to a British possession, it shall not be necessary for the owner of any mail ship to give security in any court in that possession, and the provisions of this Act with respect to the jurisdiction of any court of the United Kingdom, other than any jurisdiction relating to the application of the security, shall apply as if a court in the British Possession were substituted for a court of the United Kingdom.

　　　(3.) It shall be lawful for Her Majesty in Council to make rules for carrying into effect, as respects British Possessions, the provisions of this Act with respect to the security given by mail ships, and in particular with respect to the commencement of a legal proceeding by service of a writ or process in the Possession, and to the notices to be given to arresting authorities in the Possession, and the evidence to be receivable by such authorities of the security having been given or withdrawn, and the application of the security in discharge of any damages, fine, debt, claim, sum, or forfeiture, where the same are or is recovered or payable either in the British Possession, or under proceedings pending concurrently in that British Possession and in any other British Possession or the United Kingdom.

　　　(4.) If by any law made either before or after the passing of this Act by the Legislature of any British Possession provision is made for carrying into effect within such Possession any convention to which this Act applies, Her Majesty in Council may suspend the operation within such Possession of this Act or of any part thereof so far as it relates to such convention, and so long as such law continues in force there, or direct that such law or any part thereof shall have effect in such British Possession with or without modifications and alterations as if it were part of this Act.

ABSENT:

The Honourable CATCHICK PAUL CHATER.

The Council met pursuant to adjournment.

　　　The Honourable F. A. COOPER, Acting Surveyor General, took the oath of allegiance on his appointment to a seat on the Council.

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 17th August, 1891, were read and confirmed. His Excellency then addressed the Council as follows:-

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN,

We meet again to-day to resume our common labours in the interests of this Colony, and though the time is probably short during which I shall retain the privilege of co-operating with you, there are several measures demanding early con- sideration which I hope we may succeed in passing and, in doing so, further the good of this Community.

This Council, and, I feel sure the community at large, will regret with me the sad death of one of our Members who has been so suddenly cut off in the midst of his career.

In the late Surveyor General the Colony possessed a zealous and hard- working official, and his kindness of heart secured for him the friendship of many during his comparatively brief connection with Hongkong.

Since we last met a change has taken place in the Governorship, and I think that

you will all agree with me that in losing Sir WILLIAM DES VEUX this Colony has lost the able services of one who was thoroughly. imbued with the desire to promote the best interests of the Colony, and who achieved at least as large a measure of success in that direction as any of his predecessors-if not larger.

You all join with me, I know, in hoping that the change to an invigorating climate will restore to him that health the failure of which unfortunately compelled him to relinquish this Government.

Of the measures to which I have alluded a few have already been under your consideration, others have been prepared and will be immediately introduced, while some are still in course of preparation.

As regards the Opium Ordinance, which was read a first time shortly before our vacation, circumstances have since shown the desirability of continuing to keep separate as heretofore the law as regards Raw and Prepared Opium respectively, which it was proposed by the Bill to amalgamate.

That Bill will therefore be withdrawn and two new Ordinances will be at once introduced dealing separately with these two matters-a course which will, I hope, facilitate the rapid passing of both measures which it is important should become law at an early date.

I have every reason to hope that if the Government is supported in its efforts to stop the smuggling of prepared opium into this Colony, the revenue on this head will not only be maintained but may be largely increased.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH OCTOBER, 1891. 917

The Ordinance to amend the law relating to Bankruptcy passed its second reading as long ago as last December. It has since received the careful consideration of the Law Committee to whom it was referred, and is now ready to be dealt with by you.

The Merchant Shipping Consolidation Bill, which was read a second time at our last meeting, will doubtless have received during the recess the close attention of those who are specially affected by its provisions; and, as it is important that no more delay than is necessary should take place in passing it, it will be placed before you again immediately.

Of the Bills which have been prepared to be brought before you perhaps none is more desirable in the commercial interests of the Colony than the Chinese Emigration Consolidation Ordinance.

The continuous flow of emigration through this Colony is a large factor in the prosperity of the Port, and it is to be regretted that it has been from various circumstances so much checked of late.

I am informed by Officers of the Government who have given attention to the subject, that this is in a large extent due to the absence of satisfactory arrangements for the proper treatment of Emigrants from the time of their leaving their native homes to the time of their return to China.

The measure which will be placed before you has as its object the improvement of the status of the Emigrant, so far as the Government of this Colony can improve it, and it is hoped that, by placing Emigration on a satisfactory footing, it will benefit the Commerce of the Port.

Other measures which will be brought before you are:-

1. A Patent Ordinance for amending the Law relating to the grant in

this Colony of Letters Patent for Inventions.

2. An Ordinance for the Incorporation of the Senior Missionary in Hong-

kong of the London Missionary Society.

3. An Ordinance to amend the Building Ordinance.

4. A St. John's Church Ordinance for providing for the future maintenance and administration of the Cathedral, consequent upon the abolition · of the post of Colonial Chaplain and the altered status of the Church of England in this Colony.

5. A Volunteer Ordinance.

The defence works of the Colony being now practically completed and armed, the question of increasing the force of Volunteers and placing them on a more effi- cient and satisfactory footing has become urgent.

The Machine Guns ordered from England have arrived, and I shall have to invite the revival of the interest of the residents in the Colony in the matter of auxiliary defence, about which enthusiasm has recently flagged. The difficulties in arranging for the promised reinforcement of regular troops have now been got over, and there is every reason to believe that the Garrison will soon be completed to its full establishment, but the need for an efficient system of Volunteers is still great.

With regard to the question of affording further space for the interment of Chinese which has occupied the attention of the Government for some time past, and at which the present Colonial Treasurer, while acting as Registrar General, and the Registrar General since his return from leave, have worked with much energy, it has at last been found possible to devise means to carry out this very necessary object by resorting to the Chinese practise of exhumation and "urning" of the bones.

I have not ceased to use my best endeavours to induce the High Chinese Authorities of the neighbouring Province to suppress gambling in the Chinese towns. and villages on our borders, which has increased with the diminution of the vice in this Colony produced by the Gambling Ordinance which you recently passed.

My representations have been met by the Chinese authorities with a laudable desire to co-operate, and stringent measures have been taken by them to attain the desired object, but I regret to say that the main difficulty in totally suppressing the evil there, arises from the shelter and facilities afforded to the gamblers by the neighbourhood of Hongkong and the easy means of transport. The earnest attention of the Government is being directed to this phase of the matter.

918

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH OCTOBER, 1891.

On the other hand it may interest you to learn that from a report furnished me by the Police Magistrate, the effect of the new Gambling Ordinance here has been most satisfactory, as evidenced not only by the total suppression of the gambling houses but by the consequent diminution of all classes of crime.

The Commission appointed under the Squatters Ordinance is continuing the labours of the Commission appointed, previous to the Ordinance, to enquire into the claims of the original Squatters in this Colony, but recent experiences have shewn that not only the question of original Squatters but that of Squatters in general, requires immediate attention, and the whole subject is under the consider- ation of the Government.

The construction of the Gap Rock Lighthouse has satisfactorily progressed, and I hope that in a few months it will reach completion. In the meantime arrangements have been made for establishing a temporary light on the rock which is already in operation.

At the instance of the Chamber of Commerce a proposal has been submitted to the Secretary of State for the Colonies for connecting the Lighthouse with Victoria by a telegraph cable. It is expected that definite arrangements will shortly be concluded for carrying out this work, which, with the concurrence of the Inspector General of Chinese Imperial Customs, is considered to be an essential adjunct to the Lighthouse, and you will then be asked to approve of the continuance of the special Gap Rock Light Dues for such period as will be necessary to cover the cost of it which is estimated at about $86,000.

A further improvement in the lighting of the approaches to this Harbour is to be looked for in the near future in the erection of a Lighthouse in the Island of Waglan. Steps have been already taken with that object in view by the Chinese Government.

From despatches which have been already laid before you, you have been made aware of the decision to commence the construction of a New Gaol, which is rendered necessary by the extremely overcrowded state of the existing Prison.

Great difficulty has been experienced in selecting a site for a wing of what will ultimately be an entirely new Gaol. As the new Prison must be built with a view of serving its purpose for a great many years to come, it is not easy to find a site which is at once easy of access from the town, large enough to admit of future extensions, which will inevitably become necessary with the growth of population, and free from sanitary objections. It is, moreover, of course desirable to avoid placing such a building in a position where it would be likely to interfere with the extension of the residential suburbs of the town.

I have given this matter much consideration, and I hope soon to be in a position to settle the question.

￡

A public work which though small in itself is still one of very considerable importance has lately been commenced in the Vaccine Institute.

You are all aware how important a precaution against epidemic disease vaccination is in a Colony like this, and it was the failure of the supply of lymph in 1887 which first drew the attention of Sir WILLIAM DES Vaux to the subject of the desirability of establishing in the Colony a permanent source of vaccine lymph supply. Much time and labour was spent by the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon in making experiments with a view to the cultivation in the Colony of vaccine lymph, and these were so successful that the Sanitary Board strongly recommended the establishment of a Vaccine Institute.

A site having been selected on the recommendation of the Sanitary Board, work on the building-which, with furniture, &c., is estimated to cost $3,500-was commenced a short time ago, further delay being very undesirable as it is necessary that the Institute should be in working order by November as the lymph can only be cultivated in the cool season.

A detailed statement of all the works which it is proposed to undertake in the ensuing year will shortly be submitted to you in connection with the Estimates.

I may mention one of these which is likely to be of special interest to you inasmuch as it will prove a boon to the Community at large. I allude to the proposed extension of the accommodation at the Civil Hospital for private paying patients.

The able management of the Hospital and the high efficiency of the trained Nursing Staff have rendered the Institution deservedly popular.

A limit has at the same time been placed on the amount of such accommoda- tion to be offered, and the question of increasing the fees is under consideration.

THE HONGKONG government GAZETTE, 24TH OCTOBER, 1891.

Proposals will also be submitted to you for the construction of new roads both in this Island and in Kowloon.

I have received by telegraph the approval of the Secretary of State of the scheme for the extension of the Recreation Ground and Sanitary Improvements at the Happy Valley, and this work which is calculated to prove of great advantage to the public will be at once taken in hand.

Sanction of the Secretary of State has also been obtained for proceeding with the construction of the Central Market.

I have, in consultation with the Executive Council, been recently considering the method by which the licensing of Jinrickshas has hitherto been conducted, and a change is in contemplation by which, I believe, not only will considerable improve- ment be introduced into the vehicles themselves and the regulation of their traffic, but a considerable increase to the revenue will result, while the interests of existing licensees will be duly protected.

The Estimates for the coming year are in an advanced state of preparation and will be shortly laid before you. I think I may say that the financial position of the Colony is hopeful as indicated by the statistics which they will afford.

You will learn with satisfaction that as far as can be foreseen at present the ordinary Revenue of the current year together with Premia on Land sales will fully realize the original estimate, while the probable expenditure (ordinary and extraordinary) will fall short of the estimated sum by about $200,000. The originally estimated deficit, on the year, of $451,000 is therefore reduced to $250,000, a sum which so far as present estimates show can be defrayed out of existing balances.

It is a matter of congratulation that not only has the revenue of the year thus been sufficient to cover the ordinary expenditure, including the increased Military Contribution both for this year and last year, and the increased salaries, but also to leave a balance of $250,000 towards defraying the cost of Extraordinary Public Works, now estimated to amount for the year to $500,000. I should mention that the probable revenue for the current year is now estimated at $2,039,042 or an increase of over $27,000 on that of the year 1890.

It has been advocated for a considerable time past that, in view of the large number of Public Works in progress or in immediate contemplation, to the cost of which future residents in the Colony might be fairly required to contribute, e.g. the New Central Market, the New Gaol, New Roads, &c., a Loan should be raised, and the Secretary of State for the Colonies has intimated his readiness to consider the question. I have, therefore, fully considered the matter with this result.

The cost of the Public Works which are likely to be urgently required to be constructed during the next five years may be roughly estimated at two million and a half of dollars, or an expenditure of $500,000 a year, which is also, I have ascertained, about the limit which the Public Works Department have on the average the means of carrying out, though for various reasons it is often necessary to exceed that total in estimating for the year's services.

With a revenue already yearly increasing and likely to be considerably increased by works now in course of erection, or about to be erected, which will be of a remunerative character, as well as from causes which I have already touched upon, we may fairly assume from the experience of the present year that a con- siderable proportion of this extraordinary expenditure may be defrayed out of the ordinary revenue and premia on land sales. What that proportion may be, or whether indeed the whole may not be so met, depends very much on the develop- ment of events during the next few months.

I, therefore, think it well to postpone taking any immediate action in this direction.

The returns of shipping for the past nine months show a satisfactory progress. Although last year was phenomenal in the activity displayed in the shipping trade, the returns being the largest yet made since the Colony has been in existence, and the total of arrivals and departures having exceeded by a million tons the corresponding figures for 1889, yet the arrivals in Ocean trade alone during the first nine months of this year have exceeded those of the corresponding period of 1890 by 86 ships with a registered tonnage of 134,545 tons.

In conclusion, I congratulate you on such trustworthy evidence of the increas- ing prosperity of this Colony, as is furnished by these statistics as well as by the remarkable results of the Census to which I previously invited your attention.

May our efforts in this Council be always aimed at, and be successful in secur-

ing, a continued increase of that prosperity and the welfare of all.

The Honourable P. RYRIE in the absence of the Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD asked the follow- ing questions:-

(1.) In view of the continued existence of public gambling houses in Chinese Kowloon, which have been for a considerable time and still are a very serious cause of annoyance and injury to the inhabitants of this British Colony and tend to render inoperative recent legislation in Hongkong against gambling,--will the Government lay upon the table a copy of their correspondence with the Imperial Chinese Government on the subject of Public Gambling in Chinese Kowloon,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31ST OCTOBER, 1891.

935

(2.) Is it true that the Government have remitted the fines inflicted by the Police Magistrate on the Contractor who had on divers days during last month in certain Streets-The Praya, Queen's Road, and Ice House Lane-placed or caused to be placed large quantities of stones whereby the Queen's common highways were obstructed, and if such fines have been remitted on what grounds has it been done.

(3.) Is it correct as stated in the " Daily Press" of the 29th September last, that the Military Authorities take over full control of Stonecutters' Island at the beginning of next month (October 1891), after which date no Civilians will be in charge of or employed at any Department on the Island as has been the case hitherto, if so, who is now in charge of the Government Gunpowder Depot on Stonecutters' Island.

(4.) Has the place formerly set apart to be a Lazaretto viz.: "That part of the northern shore of Stonecutters' Island which is bounded and contained by a line of yellow posts" been abandoned; if so what place if any has been substituted therefor; or what provision has Government made for the suitable detention and seclusion of passengers and other persons arriving in the waters of the Colony in vessels subject to Quarantine.

If the conduct of a prisoner be in- different or bad, he will be liable to be fined a certain number of marks, according to the nature and degree of the offence, and will forfeit by misconduct the remission which he would other- wise have earned by his industry.

hard labour.

314. On the admission of a prisoner with a sentence or sentences of twelve months and up- wards, such part of such sentence or sentences as is in excess of six months shall be reduced to days, which shall be multiplied by four, giving the number of marks he must earn before his discharge; thus, take six months of the sentence, 182 days, multiplied by four will give 730, (the number of marks he must earn before gaining any remission).

315. If by his industry the prisoner gains six marks a day, and does not lose any for mis- conduct, he can earn the full remission of one- third of such portion of his sentence as is in excess of six months.

316. On Sundays marks will be allowed for conduct alone. Except under special circum- stances where injury has accidentally resulted while on prison work, a prisoner will get only five marks a day during the time he is in the Prison Hospital. Prisoners on No. 3 Industrial Light Labour by order of the Surgeon will not get more than five marks a day.

317. Prisoners who by their misconduct for- feit the whole of their remission, will be liable to be kept in separate confineinent during the last 6 months of their sentence.

318. The officers of the Prison shall be sup- plied with books in which they shall enter each evening the marks each prisoner has earned during the day.

　　323. All criminal prisoners with sentences of twelve months and upwards, who shall be em- ployed at remunerative labour, may earn a small gratuity at the rate of one cent for every six marks, but the whole gratuity for any one pri- soner shall not exceed $10. Such gratuity shall be paid at the time of discharge. In forfeiting marks for misconduct the proportionate amount of gratuity shall also be forfeited.

324. Prisoners will not be allowed to earn any gratuity until they have served the first six months either in separate confinement or at No. 1 Hard Labour.

　　325.

Whitish Appearance of the Taitam and Pokfulam Waters.-A letter dated the 23rd September, 1891, from the Honourable Colonial Secretary and a report by the Acting Government Analyst-which had been circulated to Members we fall on the fable.

directly into the conduit as in the case of the Pok-fu-lam works.

B. That sand of a quality such as the Government Analyst recommends be obtained for the filter-beds.

C. That the Tai-tam service reservoir be covered over as early as possible.

　　　SIR,-With reference to my Circular despatch of the 25th of April, 1890, I have the honour to transmit herewith copies of an Order of the Queen in Council of the 9th of May last, issued in pur- suance of the Merchant Shipping (Colonial) Act, 1869, revoking all previous Orders, and further amending and consolidating the Regulations now in force relating to Colonial Certificates of Competency; together with copies of the Instructions on the subject, issued by the Board of Trade to Officers in British Possessions abroad.

I have the honour to be,

Sir, Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

The Officer Administering the Government of

INSTRUCTIONS

ΤΟ

OFFICERS IN BRITISH POSSESSIONS ABROAD.

Merchant Shipping (Colonial) Act, 1869.

　　　The annexed Order in Council, dated the 9th day of May 1891, revokes all Orders previously issued relating to Colonial Certificates of Competency, and further amends and consolidates all the regulations now in force relating to their use, issue, delivery, cancellation, and suspension.

　　　As the Colonial Certificates of Competency referred to in the said. Order in Council are to have the same force as the similar Certificates granted by the Board of Trade in the United Kingdom, such a Colonial Certificate must be accepted as occupying in every respect the place of one of the latter, and as entitling its bona fide holder to act in the capacity stated in it, or any inferior (but not ?n supe- rior) capacity in any British ship, all over the world without the possession of a Board of Trade Certificate.

　　　Colonial Certificates will have to be used, produced, and delivered at the times and on the occa- sions at and on which Certificates of Competency granted by the Board of Trade would have to be used, produced, and delivered.

　　　When it appears from a Certificate officially produced to the Officer that its owner possesses other Certificates, their production also should be required, and if they are not produced their owner's explanation in writing should be demanded and forwarded to the Registrar-General of Seamen with the least possible delay.

　　　Officers in British Possessions abroad are empowered by Regulation 10 attached to the Order in Council to demand, and if necessary detain, any such Colonial Certificate which they have reason to believe has been improperly issued, or has been forged, altered, cancelled, suspended, or to which the person using it is not justly entitled.

　　　Whenever this power is exercised a report of the facts and circumstances must be sent by the Officer, with the least possible delay, to either the Board of Trade or the Government of the Possession in which the Certificate was originally granted or may purport to have been granted, accordingly as communication may be easier and quicker.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31ST OCTOBER, 1891. 959

　　　As the withdrawal of a Certificate would in some cases entail inconvenience, not only upon its possessor but also upon the owners of the ship and cargo, it is scarcely necessary to caution Officers that the exercise of this power should only be resorted to when the evidence is perfectly clear; and if the ship is bound to the United Kingdom, and the report above mentioned has been sent to the Government of the Possession by which the Certificate was originally granted, the Board of Trade should nevertheless be informed of the facts.

　　　Every case of death of a Colonial Certificate-holder which may come to the Officer's knowledge should be reported without delay to the Government of the Possession by which the Certificate was granted.

　　　The attention of Officers and Functionaries in British Possessions abroad engaged in the conduct of Official Inquiries in wreck and discipline cases is directed to the fact that the Certificates to which the Order in Council applies will be liable to cancellation and suspension in precisely the same way as Certificates granted by the Board of Trade under the Merchant Shipping Acts, and by the same Boards, Courts, and Tribunals. The provisions of "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," and "The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862," as to Courts of Inquiry will therefore be applicable to the Colo- nial Certificates in question, with the exception of the provisions specified in the Order in Council.

　　　Attention is further directed to the provision inserted in Regulation 7 attached to the Order in Council, under which the Governor or person administering the Government of the British Possession in which a Certificate has been cancelled or suspended is, in certain circumstances, empowered to return Certificates cancelled or suspended by an official Court of Inquiry, or to shorten the time for which they are suspended, or to issue other Certificates in their place.

　　　It will be noticed that Regulation 9 attached to the Order in Council provides that the cancella- tion or suspension of a Certificate shall involve cancellation or suspension of all the other Certificates (if any) possessed by its owner. With the view of carrying this Regulation strictly into effect, it will be desirable that the Court should endeavour to ascertain and should specify in their decision the particulars of all the Certificates possessed by any person whose conduct is the subject of an investi- gation by them.

　　　In cases of cancellation or suspension of such Colonial Certificates, copies of the report of the Court and of the evidence, together with the respective Certificates, should be sent to the Governments of the British Possessions by whom the several Certificates possessed by the offender were originally granted. A full report upon the case and the Evidence should, at the same time, be sent to the Board of Trade, as required by the Act, and the sentence giving the number of each Certificate dealt with and the Possession in which it was granted, should be mentioned in it.

　　　The holders of Colonial Certificates which are cancelled or suspended should be referred to the Government of the Possession by which the Certificate was originally granted, instead of to this Board, if they desire to appeal from the sentence or to apply for a mitigation of it.

　　　These instructions must be understood as having reference only to the Certificate referred to in the said Order in Council.

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.

288.00

(1.) In view of the statement, made by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, at the last Meeting of Council, to the effect that further delay in the matter of the proposed New Central Market involves large and continual loss to the Revenue such delay must certainly be avoided, will the Government lay upon the table a report shewing the amount of work done to the said proposed New Market since 17th August last to 30th September, 1891, and its present condition, and inform the Council-

(1) If plans and designs for the proposed New Central Market have been decided

upon;

(3) Has Chang Kee's tender referred to in the Resolution of the Honourable J.

Keswick of 21st July last, or the tender of any other contractor for the superstructure or building of the proposed New Central Market over the foundations been accepted;

(4) If so, what is the amount of the tender accepted; and

(5) Whether the plans and detailed statements have been prepared for the whole building complete in every respect, or whether the objectionable system has again been followed of preparing plans, etc., for only a part or portion and leaving the additional aggregate cost a totally unknown quantity.

(3.) With reference to the statement of the Honourable the Surveyor General at a meeting of the Finance Committee on the 11th December, 1890, to the effect that the Civil Hospital Staff Quarters or the residence for the Assistant Surgeon, Apothecary, Nursing Staff and others connected with the hospital, though being built on a larger scale than is perhaps necessary, but then (about ten months ago) nearly completed, will the Government lay on the table a statement or return shewing when the building was completed; if not yet completed, why not; if not completed, the probable date when it will be ready for occupation; the total amount of monies expended to 30th September, 1891, and the sums then due although not actually paid---

(5.)

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH NOVEMBER, 1891.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 459.

　　　The following Report of the Acting Superintendent of the Fire Brigade, for the year 1890, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 9th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th November, 1891.

No. 16.

W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.

FIRE BRIGADE OFFICE, HONGKONG, 27th October, 1891.

　　　SIR, I have the honour to submit the following report on the Government Fire Brigade for the year 1890, called for in your C.S.O. No. 2469 of the 24th instant.

1. The Superintendent of the Brigade, (Honourable H. E. WODEHOUSE, C.M.G.) was in command during the whole of the year, with the exception of a few days (25th March to 3rd April) when he was granted sick leave.

2. During the year there were 124 fires and alarms of fire as compared with 98 during the

previous year.

3. The following table shows the number of fires at which the Brigade has been engaged each year, during the last ten years.

1890,.

1889,.

1888,

1887,

1886,....

.16 fires.

.35 ...11

1885,.... 1884, 1883, 1882,... 1881,

.11 fires. ..18

....11

　　　4. The great decrease in the number of fires, during the last two years, may, I think, be attributed entirely to the greater caution on the part of the Fire Insurance Companies in the issue of Fire Policies, and to the effect of the Fire Enquiry Ordinance (No. 23 of 1888).

5. During the year there were cleven Fire Enquiries held under the provisions of this Ordinance, with a result that in two cases, prosecutions were instituted. Both cases were committed for trial at the Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court. In one case the defendant was tried and acquitted, and in the other a nolle prosequi was entered.

6. Unfortunately, in two cases during the year, the fire has been attended with loss of life.

(a) In the first case, a very old woman, who was blind, was burned to death in a cabin of a

trading junk, in the Harbour.

(b) In the other, two men who had escaped from the burning building, entered it again in search of some property, when their escape was cut off through the staircase having caught fire.

7. There has been a great improvement in the arrangements for the supply of fresh water for fire extinguishing purposes, but much still remains to be done, more particularly in the Western District.

The "Fire Despatch boxes" introduced last year by Mr. WODEHOUSE have been found to be very bandy, and no doubt will prove very useful.

8. No change was made in the numerical strength of the Brigade, during the year.

9. No accident occurred to any member of the Brigade while engaged at a fire.

　　　10. Early in the year the Brigade lost the valuable services of Mr. WAGNER, the Engineer, who I regret to say, died after only a few days' illness. He had been attached to the Brigade four years and had proved a very efficient officer. The vacancy was filled by the appointment of Mr. KINGHORN to the post.

11. I enclose Mr. KINGHORN's report on the state of the Engines.

They have been kept in excellent order by Mr. CAMPBELL, the Assistant Engineer, under Mr. KINGHORN's supervision.

　　　I cannot recommend the purchase of a land steamer to replace the No. 2, but I am strongly of opinion that the question of providing a second floating fire engine should receive the early attention of the Government.

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

　　　13. The Chinese Volunteer Brigades are entitled to our thanks for their assistance at the different fires, and it gives me pleasure to testify to the creditable manner in which the members of the Government Brigade have performed their duties.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable W. MEIGH GOODMAN,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

GEO. HORSPOOL, Acting Supt., Fire Brigade.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH NOVEMBER, 1891.

1025

HONGKONG, 26th October, 1891.

SIR, I have the honour to forward here with a report on the state of the Government Fire Engines for the year ending 31st December, 1890.

STEAMER NO. 1.

(Floating Engine) by Messrs. Merryweather & Co.

This Engine has been 23 years in service. In December last, the Launch, Engine, Boiler and Pumps received a general overhaul and were put in good order, the time occupied for these repairs was 15 days and since then it has done good service.

During the year the Engine has not been disabled at a fire, and is now in good working order.

STEAMER No. 2.

(Land Engine) by Messrs. Merryweather & Co.

　　　This Engine has been 22 years in service. During the year it has not been disabled at a fire, it has been kept in reserve, and only used at drill for drivers. The Engine is in need of a thorough overhaul and the Boiler requires some extensive repairs to fire-box, but, as this Engine is of an obsolete type for land purposes, and cannot be relied upon to work efficiently under full power, I would recom- inend it to be replaced with one of SHAND & MASON's powerful Pumps similar to No. 5.

STEAMER NO. 3.

(Land Engine) by Shand & Mason.

　　　This Engine has been 11 years in service. During the year it has not been disabled at a fire, it has done good service, was examined and tested in May last, and is now in good working order.

STEAMER NO. 4.

(Land Engine) by Shand & Mason.

　　　This Engine has been 8 years in service. During the year it has worked satisfactorily, and is now in good working order.

STEAMER No. 5.

(Land Engine) by Shand & Mason.

　　　This Engine has been 4 years in service. It has not been disabled at a fire, and is now in good working order.

STEAMER NO. 6 (late Volunteer.)

(Land Engine) by Shand & Mason.

This Engine has been 11 years in service, (9 years in Volunteer Brigade). In April last the Boiler was fitted with new Injector, and the Engine and Pumps were carefully overhauled, the time occupied for these repairs was 7 days. During the year it has done good service, has not been disabled at a fire and is now in good working order.

Manual Engines (9) all in good working order.

During the year the calls on the Brigade have been few, compared with former years, and the Engines and Boilers, have been carefully examined and tested. There has been a new system of drills for drivers introduced. Instructions for their guidance have been printed in the form of questions and answers containing information that they ought to be in possession of; and drills held twice a week, those drivers proving themselves efficient have received Certificates.

　　　Additional pumping power is much required in the Harbour and at Kowloon, and I would respectfully suggest that another floating Engine be supplied, as being the most useful for attacking a fire on board Ship, or on shore at Kowloon or assisting the other Engines.

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

I have the honour to be.

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

JOHN W. KINGHORN, Engineer, Government Fire Brigade.

TO GEO. HORSPOOL, Esquire,

Acting Superintendent, Government Fire Brigade.

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 Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD moved the following resolution: --

Hon. P. RYRIE seconded.

His Excellency addressed the Council and the resolution was withdrawn.

The Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD asked the following questions:-

1. As the place formerly set apart to be a Lazaretto, viz., "That part of the northern shore of "Stone-cutters' Island which is bounded and contained by a line of yellow posts" has been abandoned, the hulk "Hygeia" having as stated in this Council by the Honourable the Acting Colonial Secretary on 19th October, 1891, been completed and substituted for it, in accordance with arrangements made last year with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, but as this arrangement does not provide for the removal from ships of persons other than those actually suffering from infectious or contagious disease, will the Government inform the Council what provision Government has made, or what provision does Government propose to make, if any, for the suitable detention of passengers and other persons arriving in the waters of the port in vessels subject to Quarantine.

2. Is it the fact that a reduction has been made in the Opium Farmer's monthly payments under existing contracts, and if eo to what amount, from what date, and on what grounds has this reduction been made?

3. Referring to Government Notification 384 of 12th September, 1891, under the authority of what Ordinance or law is the Government proceeding in establishing a Jinricksha Farm Monopoly.

The Acting Colonial Secretary replied.

　　　BILL ENTITLED " AN ORDINANCE ENACTED BY THE GOVERNOR OF HONGKONG, WITH THE ADVICE AND CONSENT OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL THEREOF, TO APPLY A SUM NOT EXCEEDING Two MILLIONS FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE DOLLARS TO THE PUBLIC SERVICE OF THE YEAR 1892."-The Acting Colonial Secretary moved the second reading of the Bill.

The Council met pursuant to adjournment.

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 9th November, 1891, were read and confirmed.

　　　　Papers laid on THE TABLE.-The Acting Colonial Secretary, by command of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, laid on the table despatch from the Officer Administering the Government, No. 266, of the 10th August, 1891, on certain Public Works, and despatch from Secretary of State, No. 239, of the 6th October, 1891, in reply.

　　　　The Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD gave notice that at next meeting of Council he would ask the following questions:-

1. As it seems only reasonable that the public should have an opportunity of judging of the work done by the Registrar General's Department, will the Government lay on the table copies of the Registrar General's last annual report in the same way as is done with the reports of other departments, and as was formerly done in regard to the department in question?

2. With reference to the following paragraph in the address of His Excellency Governor Sir Cecil

Smith to the Legislative Council of Singapore last month-

"The Estimates for 1892, which are now submitted to you are as follows:-

"Revenue,

Expenditure,

‧

...

.$3,629,316 3,820,806

"The above Estimates of Revenue, as compared with the Revenue actually brought to "credit in the last completed year, viz.: 1890, shewr a falling off of $639,810. Nearly the whole of this large sum is to be accounted for by the decrease of $440,000 under the head of Licenses and of $138,000 under the head of "Interest. As the farms have been re-let for the usual term of three years, it may "be taken that the estimated Revenue for 1892 will also be about the same for the years 1893 and 1894. Before that period expires, the Secretary of State has "intimated that the Farming system ought to be considered with a view, if prac "ticable, to its modification, and the adoption of a system of Licenses to be issued "at high rates-the object being to diminish the evils of the Opium traffic without "seriously crippling the Revenue,'

Will the Government lay upon the table a copy of any despatch received from the Secretary of State within the past few months intimating that the Farming system before the new three years lease about to be granted expires, should be considered with a view if practicable to its modification, and the adoption of a system of Licenses to be issued at high rates,-the object being to diminish the evils of the Opium traffic without seriously crippling the revenue.

3. Is it correct as stated in the "China Mail" of 12th November, 1891, that in the course of the Bankruptcy proceedings in the Supreme Court on that date it was revealed that there is no provision in the law of the Colony to assign debt, and if so will the Government take steps to amend the law in that respect.

4. With reference to the Honourable the Colonial Secretary's letter of 22nd July, 1890, to the Chamber of Commerce to the effect that Government will consider how far it is possible to separate the Lighthouse dues from the general revenue of the Colony, will the Government inform the Council what progress has been made by Government in the matter.

1042 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST NOVEMBER, 1891.

　　　The Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD gave notice that on Monday next he would move the following resolutions:-

1. That in future two copies of all papers to be laid upon the Council table be forwarded direct to the Un-official Members at their private address if possible 24 hours before the Meeting of Council or longer.

2. That the Government lay on the table a return shewing,-

1. The number of Police beats, and the arrangement of such beats.

2. The number of European Police on day duty and the number on night duty, and

their distribution during the day as well as during the night.

3. The number of Indian Police on day duty and the number on night duty, and their

The Magistrate may, in his discretion, employ an analyst or other skilled person to report upon any technical point which may be in dispute in any prosecution under this Ordinance, and may at his discretion order the pay- ment of such analyst or skilled person by the party in fault, or out of any fine recovered from either party, or out of the proceeds of any forfeiture ordered by such Magistrate.

41. In dismissing any charge or complaint under this Ordinance on the ground that such charge or complaint is false, or frivolous and vexatious, it shall be the duty of the Court to impose upon the person bringing such charge a penalty not exceeding that which the defendant would have incurred if convicted upon such charge or complaint, and such penalty shall be over and above any other penalties or liabilities which the said person may have likewise in- curred in respect of his said charge or complaint or of his evidence in support thereof.

42. Over and above all other liabilities and penalties to which, by this Ordinance or otherwise, any person shall become or be subject in respect of his suing out, obtaining, issuing, or executing improperly and without sufficient cause any search warrant under this Ordinance, the said person shall be further liable to the penalties specified in section 49 to be enforced and levied as hereinafter provided.

43. In any proceedings before a Magistrate or on appeal to the Supreme Court relating to the seizure of any opium, implements, or other articles, the seizure whereof is authorised by any of the provisions of this Ordinance, it shall be lawful for the Judges of the said Court and for such Magistrate, and they are hereby respectively required, to proceed in such cases on the merits only, without reference to matters of form and without enquiring into the manner or form of making any seizure, excepting in so far as the manner and form of seizure may be evidence on such merits.

44. Except as hereinafter mentioned, no information laid under the Opium Ordinances 1884 to 1887 or this Ordinance shall be admitted in evidence in any civil or criminal proceeding whatsoever, and no witness shall be obliged to disclose the name or address of any informer, or to state any matter which might lead to his discovery, and if any books, documents or papers which are in evidence or liable to inspection in any civil or criminal proceeding whatsoever contain any entry in which any such informer is named or described, or which might lead to his discovery, the Court or Magistrate shall cause all such passages to be concealed from view or to be obliterated so far as may be necessary to protect the informer from discovery but no further. But if in any proceedings before a Magistrate for any offence against any provision of the said Ordinances or this Ordinance the Magistrate after full enquiry into the case shall believe that the informer wilfully made in his information a material statement which he knew or believed to be false or did not believe to be true, or if in any other proceeding the Court or Magistrate shall be of opinion that justice cannot be fully done between the parties thereto without the discovery of the informer, it shall be lawful for the Court or Magistrate to require the production of the original information, and to permit inquiry and require full disclosure concerning the informer.

Miscellaneous.

45. If any person charged with any offence under this Ordinance shall give a false name, or with intent to procure his discharge or acquittal shall produce or offer in evidence or cause to be produced or offered in evidence any certificate required by this Ordinance which shall be proved to the satisfaction of the Magistrate to have been issued to any other person or to be forged, he shall be liable on summary

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

HONGKONG.

W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.

　　　It having been reported that on the night of the 2nd instant the British Steam-ship Lightning struck a pinnacle rock on the North side of the Sulphur Channel, a minute examination was made of the locality by the officers of Her Majesty's Surveying Ship Egeria on the 14th instant. The result of the examination entirely failed to discern any pinnacle rock or any indication of one outside the three fathom line and substantially corroborates the accuracy of the Admiralty Chart No. 1466. In consequence of this examination it is considered that no such rock exists, and that vessels keeping outside the three fathom line will have ample water.

　　　The Lighthouse on Green Island was found to be 150 yards S.S.E. of the position assigned to it on the Chart.

3. With reference to the Honourable the Colonial Secretary's letter of 22nd July, 1890, to the Chamber of Commerce to the effect that Government will consider how far it is possible to separate the Lighthouse dues from the general revenue of the Colony, will the Government inform the Council what progress has been made by Government in the matter.

4. As it seems only reasonable that the public should have an opportunity of judging of the work done by the Registrar General's Department, will the Government lay on the table copies of the Registrar General's last annual report in the same way as is done with the reports of other departments, and as was formerly done in regard to the department in question?

5. With reference to the following paragraph in the address of His Excellency Governor Sir Cecil

Smith to the Legislative Council of Singapore last month-

"The Estimates for 1892, which are now submitted to you are as follows:-

"Revenue, "Expenditure,

$3,629,316 3,820,806

"The above Estimates of Revenue, as compared with the Revenue actually brought to "credit in the last completed year, viz.: 1890, shew a falling off of $639,810. Nearly the whole of this large sum is to be accounted for by the decrease of $440,000 under the head of Licenses and of $138,000 under the head of "Interest. As the farms have been re-let for the usual term of three years, it may "be taken that the estimated Revenue for 1892 will also be about the same for the years 1893 and 1894. Before that period expires, the Secretary of State has "intimated that the Farming system ought to be considered with a view, if prac

ticable, to its modification, and the adoption of a system of Licenses to be issued "at high rates-the object being to diminish the evils of the Opium traffic without

seriously crippling the Revenue,"

The Acting Colonial Secretary replied.

The Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD moved the following resolution:-

2. That the Government lay on the table a return shewing,-

1. The number of Police beats, and the arrangement of such beats.

2. The number of European Police on day duty and the number on night duty, and

their distribution during the day as well as during the night.

3. The number of Indian Police on day duty and the number on night duty, and their

distribution during the day as well as the night.

4. The number of Chinese Police on day duty and the number on night duty, and their

distribution during the day as well as the night.

5. The number of Constables and Officers on duty at fixed points by day and by night. 6. The number of Constables and Officers detailed for the regulation of traffic.

Honourable P. RYRIE seconded.

His Excellency addressed the Council and the resolutions were withdrawn.

The Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD gave notice that on that day fortnight he would move the following resolution :-

In consequence of the fact that the cost of the Administrative Staff of the Government of Hongkong is constantly increasing, having risen from $547,650 in 1887, to the enormous amount of $758,139 in 1891 and to the still larger estimated sum of about $800,000 for 1892 exclusive of $65.200 for Pensions for 1892 it is incumbent on the Un-official Members of Council, who being the lawfully constituted guardians of the public purse, to earnestly consider and strenuously urge upon the Government the necessity for retrenchment in every possible direction more especially when it is remembered that the Colony's financial position is not strong, that we are threatened with a shrinkage in its revenue in the near future, and that our position with reference to Opium, and the revenue derived therefrom is precarious, that Government appoint a Commission composed of Members exclusive of Government Officials with full powers to enquire into and report on the working of all the Departments of the Government with the view to retrenchment, and to the desirability or otherwise of the redistribution of work, the amalgamation of certain offices, the increasing of the hours of the official day, privileges in the way of leave, &c.

NOTE. Where in ships already fitted the required cubic contents of boats placed under davits is provided although by a smaller number of boats than the minimum required by this table, such ships shall be regarded as complying with the rules as to boats to be carried under davits. (c.) Not less than half the number of boats placed under davits shall be boats of sec. A or sec. B of Rule 1 of the General Rules.

(d.) The remaining boats may also be of such description or may in the option of the shipowners (or master) conform to sec. C or sec. D provided that not more than two boats shall be of sec. D.

(e.) If the boats placed under davits in accordance with the foregoing Table (A) do not furnish sufficient accommoda- tion for all persons on board then additional wood, metal collapsible or other boats of approved description (whether placed under davits or otherwise) or approved life rafts

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 9TH DEC., 1891. 1149

shall be carried, one of these boats may be a steam- launch; but in that case the space occupied by the engines and boiler is not to be included in the estimated cubic capacity of the boat. Subject to the provision contained in paragraph (g) of these Rules such additional boats or rafts shall be of at least such carrying capacity that they and the boats required to be placed under davits by Table (A) provide together in the aggregate three-fourths more than the minimum cubic contents required by column 3 of that Table, for this purpose three cubic feet of air case in the life raft is to be estimated as ten cubic feet of inter- nal capacity. All such additional boats or rafts shall be placed as conveniently for being available as the ship's arrangements admit of, having regard to the avoidance of undue incumbrance of the ship's deck, and the safety of the ship for her voyage.

(f) When ships are divided into efficient water-tight compart- ments, so that with any two of them in free communication with the sea, the ship will remain afloat in moderate weather, they shall only be required to carry additional boats or life rafts of one-half of the capacity required by par. (b.) of these Rules.

(g.) In addition to the life saving appliances before mentioned, ships of this class shall carry not less than one approved life buoy, (Rule 11 (a.) or 11 (b.) of General Rules), for every boat placed under davits. They shall also carry approved life belts, (Rule 10), or other similar approved articles of equal buoyancy suitable for being worn on the person so that there may be at least one for each person on board the ship.

Provided that no ship of this class shall be required to carry more boats or rafts than will furnish sufficient accommodation for all persons on board.

Class II.

Rules for sea-going ships not certified to carry passengers. (a.) Ships of this class shall carry on each side at least so many and such boats of wood or metal placed under davits (of which one on each side shall be a boat of sec. A or 'sec. B of Rule I of the General Rules) that the boats on each side of the ship shall be sufficient to accommodate all persons on board. They shall have proper appliances for getting the boats into the water.

(b.) They shall carry approved life belts as required for ships of

Class 1.

(c.) They shall carry not less than six approved life buoys,

(Rule 11 (a.) or 11 (b.), of General Rules).

Class 111.

Rules for steam-ships having special licences as river steamers under sec. 8 of this Ordinance.

(a.) Ships of this class shall, according to their tonnage, carry boats placed under davits as required by the Table for ships in Class I.

(b.) If the boats placed under davits in accordance with the above requirements do not furnish sufficient accommoda- tion for all persons on board then additional boats or approved life rafts shall be supplied as for ships of Class I. (c.) Provided that if (having regard to the avoidance of undue incumbrance of the ship's deck and to the safety of the ship for her voyage) it is not practicable for a ship of this class to carry additional approved boats or approved life rafts as required for ships of Class 1, the deficiency so caused may be made up by the supply of an equivalent number of approved buoyant deck seats or other approved buoyant deck fittings to the satisfaction of the Government Marine Surveyor.

(d.) Ships of this class shall also carry approved life belts, (Rule 10 of General Rules) or other similar approved articles of equal buoyancy suitable for being worn on the person so that there may be at least one for each person on board the ship.

(e.) At least one approved life buoy (Rule 11 (a.) or 11 (b.) of General Rules) shall also be provided for each boat of wood or metal carried by the ship, but in no case shall less than six approved life buoys be provided.

General Rules,

(1.)-Boats.

Note.-All boats shall be properly equipped as provided by these

Rules.

Section (A.)-A boat of this section shall be a life boat properly constructed of wood or metal having for every ten cubic feet of her capacity computed as in Rule 2 at least one and a half cubic feet of strong and serviceable enclosed air-tight compartments such that water cannot find its way into them.

Section (B.)-A boat of this section shall be a life-boat properly constructed of wood or metal having inside and outside buoyancy apparatus together equal in efti- ciency to the buoyancy apparatus provided for a boat of Section A. At least one half of the buoy ancy apparatus must be attached to the outside of the boat.

1150 THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 9TH DEC., 1891.

Section (C.)-A boat of this section shall be a life-boat properly

constructed of wood or metal having some buoyancy apparatus attached to the inside and/or outside of the boat equal in efficiency to one half the buoyancy apparatus provided for a boat of section A or sec- tion B. At least one half of the buoyancy apparatus must be attached to the outside of the boat. Section (D.)-A boat of this section shall be a properly constructed

boat of wood or metal.

(2.)-Cubic Capacity.

Measure the length and breadth outside and the depth inside mul- tiply them together and by 6; the product is the capacity of the boat in cubic feet. Thus a boat 28 feet long, 8 feet 6 inches broad and 3 feet 6 inches deep will be regarded as having a capacity of 28 × 8.5 X 3.5 X 6 : 499 8 or 500 cubic feet. If the oars are pulled in row locks, the bottom of the row lock is to be considered the gunwale of the boat for ascertaining her depth.

(3.)--Number of persons for boats of Section A,

The number of persons a boat of Section 1 shall be deemed fit to carry, shall be the number of cubic feet (ascertained as in Rule 2), divided by 10. Thus a boat whose cubic contents are 500 cubic feet is deemed sufficient for 50 persons. The space in the boat shall be sufficient for the seating of the persons carriel in it and for the proper use of the oars.

(4.)--Number of persons for other Boats.

The number of persons a boat of Sections B, C, or D shall be deemed fit to carry, shall be the number of cubic feet, (ascertained as in Rule 2), divided by 8.

(5.)-Appliances for lowering Boats.

Appliances for getting a boat into the water must fulfil the follow- ing conditions: -Means are to be provided for speedily detaching the boats from the lower blocks of the davit tackles: the boats placed under davits are to be attached to the davit tackles and kept ready for service at any moment, the davits are to be strong enough and so spaced that the boats can be swung out with facility; the points of attachment of the boats to the davits are to be sufficiently away from the ends of the boats to ensure their being easily swung clear of the davits; the boats chocks are to be such as can be expeditiously removed; the davits, falls, blocks, eye bolts, rings, and the whole of the tackling are to be of sufficient strength; the boats falls are to be long enough to lower the boat into the water with safety when the vessel is light; the life lines fitted to the davits are to be long enough to reach the water when the vessel is light; and hooks are not to be attached to the lower tackle blocks.

(6.)- Equipments for boats and for life rafts.

In order to be properly equipped each boat shall be provided as follows:-

(a.) With the full (single banked) complement of oars, and two

spare oars.

(b.) With two plugs for each plug hole attached with lanyards or chains, and one set and a half of thole pins or crutches attached to the boat by sound lanyards.

(d.) A vessel to be kept filled with fresh water shall be provided

(8.)-Number of Persons for Life Rafts.

Provided always that for every person so carried there shall be at least 3 cubic feet of strong and serviceable enclosed air tight com- partments such that water cannot find its way into them. Any ap- proved life raft of other construction may be used provided that it has equivalent buoyancy to that hereinbefore described. Every such approved life raft shall be marked in such a way as to plainly indi- cate the number of adult persous it cau carry,

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 9TH DEC., 1891.

(9.)-Buoyant Apparatus.

Approved buoyant apparatus shall be deemed sufficient for a num- ber of persons to be ascertained by dividing the number of pounds of iron which it is capable of supporting in fresh water by 32. Such buoyant apparatus shall not require to be inflated before use, shall be of approved construction and marked in such a way as plainly to indicate the number of persons for whom it is sufficient.

(10.)-Life-belts.
