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 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."

The following report on the recurrence of droughts and annual rainfall in Hongkong is published for general information.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, longkong, 16th January, 1892.
W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.
H.K.O. No. 80.
HONGKONG OBSERVATORY,
7th September, 1891.
SIR,-In accordance with instructions given in your letter No. 1355 of the 31st July ultimo, I have the honour to enclose a table of rainfall in Hongkong during this and thirteen previous years.
2. In my letter of the 5th ultimo, (H.K.O. No. 72) I have explained why I cannot go back any farther, and I now beg to offer some further explanations for the information of the Surveyor General and the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital, the latter having sent me a return of fever cases to be compared with the meteorological registers.
3. Droughts may be expected when the mean atmospheric pressure is above the average, and when the average velocity of the wind is below the average. The mean temperature is not affected by the amount of rain, but the mean elastic force of water-vapour and the average cloudiness increase and decrease with the rain.
4. After the end of April there need be no fear of drought. There is always heavy rain up to the end of August. But then the rainfall decreases quickly as a rule and as it is moreover extremely variable during September and October, these months should be watched. When rainfall is defective in both months a drought may occur during the following six months, though it is sometimes prevented by heavy winter rains.
5. The drought of 1890-1891 was without precedent within fourteen years, but that does not make it likely that such a drought may not occur again within fourteen years.
Rain is a very variable and uncertain element and no forecast for any season can be made in advance.
6. Malarial fevers, as stated in my annual report for 1885, follow heavy rainfall. When the rain- fall has been excessive during a certain month, there is an increase of malarial fever during the following month, and as this appears to be particularly severe among those who dwell near the nullahs, it is very likely caused by the decay of animal or vegetable inatter carried down by the . torrents from higher ground and deposited at a lower level, by disturbance of ground saturated with
malaria, by the growth of bacteria in wet soil, and by the rise of the level of sub-soil water.
7. Cases of malarial fever among the Police Force of Hongkong (average number about 700) during each month of the three years 1888 to 1890 inclusive were compared with the rainfall during the previous month with the following result:-
?

8. The apparent disagreement between these two tables shows that three years do not suffice for drawing quantitive conclusions, but at the same time the connection referred to above appears at a glance.
9. Further information about the annual distribution of rainfall and its consequences will not be available till several more years of observations and research have passed by.
I have the honour to be,

HONOURABLE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

HONGKONG Observatory,
8th January, 1892.
In continuation of my report of the 7th September, 1891, 'I have the honour to enclose two tables to be forwarded to the Surveyor General subject to the approval of the Governor.
2. The first table exhibits the rainfall in Hongkong for every month during the past 39 years compiled from the Observatory records supplemented from various sources - mainly the returns from the military authorities. The second table shows excess of rain as + and drought as-.
3. The following are the principal droughts:

SIR,I have the honour to transmit herewith, for the information of the Colony under your Government, copies of an extract, with English translation, from the North German Gazette of 16th August 1891, containing the decisions arrived by the German Imperial Colonial Council with regard to Companies, &c., carrying on business in the German Protectorates.
I have the honour to be,
The Officer Administering the Government of
(Translation.)
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble Servant,
HONGKONG.
Extract from the "North German Gazette" of August 16, 1891.
KNUTSFORD.
THE long expected publication of the decisions of the Colonial Council with regard to the law respecting Colonial Companies appeared in yesterday's "Deutsche Colonial Blatt."
The decisions are as follows:--
(a.) Foreign Corporations, in so far as they are commercial Companies, particularly joint stock and "commandite" Companies, must obtain the permission of the Government in order to carry on their business within the Protectorate.
Regulations will be made to put the same principle in force, without delay, in the German spheres of interest.
(b.) Foreign Companies (a) must produce proof of sufficient means (viz., sufficient capital) before they can obtain admission to the Protectorate.
(c.) Foreign Companies (a) must found a branch in the Protectorate in which they ask for permission to carry on business.
It rests with the Government to decide, whether the appointment of a representative and the acquisi- tion of a legal status shall be considered sufficient.
*
(d.)-1. The authorizations of a public legal nature granted by native Chieftains are not to be recognized as valid.
This Regulation especially holds good for :-
a. Exclusive Concessions for roads and railways.
B. Commercial monopolies.
y. Exclusive mining rights.
?. Concessions of authorizations to carry out mining works, and of rights to the soil and ground, over the whole territory of a tribe, or over a greater or undefined portion thereof.
2. In case the Government admits the rights of a commercial Company of the nature described above in 1, a, S. The exercise of such rights must be under the form of a Company founded according to German law in Germany or the Protectorate.
From a consideration of the above decisions, it appears that the Colonial Council was engaged upon two different questions.
These questions may be deducted from the answers as follows :-
1. Under what conditions are foreign communities of people bearing limited responsibility to be permitted to carry on business in the Protectorates?
2. What can be considered as a possible subject for the granting of Concessions on the part of native Chiefs, and to what extent is it incumbent on the Government to recognize such legal businesses?
The decisions from (a) to (c) answer the first; those under (d) answer the second.
With regard to foreign Companies, all those who do not carry on business for profit, e.g., mis- sionaries, do not come into consideration.
It may be gathered that it makes no difference to the position of these Companies, whether their members barter with the natives in order to procure their necessities, or whether, with a view to educating them to work, they found trading Settlements, provided that these businesses actually serve the objects of the Mission. Open trading Companies differ from industrial Companies, as also from "commandite" Companies.
30
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH JANUARY, 1892.
In fine, foreign Companies are only to be permitted to carry on business in the Protectorate with the consent of the Government.
This carries out the old Prussian maxim which has always been upheld by the Legislature.
The extension of this maxim to the Protectorate is at once justified, when it is considered how the uncontrolled influx of foreign Companies with large capital would influence the development of economic life in the as yet undeveloped Protectorate.
One has not only to consider the dangers which might arise to the fixing of the relations of exchange between the Protectorate and the Empire.
The immediate damage to the development of our Protectorate would have to be anticipated, if there were a possibility, by availing ourselves of the easier forms of foreign legislation in Colonies, of our beginning to found Companies, deprived of a solid basis, and whose collapse would for years bring economic undertakings in the Protectorate into discredit.
It may be imagined further, that the Government will not establish Regulations with regard to the admittance of foreign Companies, which will frighten away foreign capital from the desirable parti- cipation in the economic development of the Protectorate.
How the medium will be found between these conflicting interests cannot further be gathered from general Regulations. The Colonial Council has made a wise reservation, even though with regard to this it has only established two points.
The Government, before admitting foreign Companies, shall demand proof of sufficient working capital. It shall secondly make sure that those Companies are always represented in some way in the Protectorate, which will spare to the creditors the risk and consequences which are connected with the prosecution of legal claims in a foreign country.
The second question is no longer a question of the right of a Company.
It refers much more to the general question of the validity of the Concessions of the natives, regardless of whether they are granted to foreigners or not, to single individuals or Companies.
The manner in which many of these Concessions have been obtained is sufficiently well known. Subjects of Concession have frequently been the most valuable rights of sovereignty and possession, stretches of territory as big as kingdoms, the entire mineral produce of a country, and exclusive rights of innumerable description.
The Colonial Council justly concluded that the Protectorate of the Empire is to be looked upon as, a sort of guardianship over the natives, who in their dealings with White men cannot be looked on as capable of trading. One of the first acts of the Government in the Protectorates, therefore, has been the publication of Decrees, whereby the validity of negotiations between the natives and White men with regard to possession of land, mining rights, &c., are subjected to the approval of the Government. It remained a question how to deal with such legal negotiations concluded prior to the declaration of the Protectorate.
An attempt to decide this question was made in the Agreement with England of last year, whereby a difference was made between Concessions having sovereign rights as their object, and such as contain permission to carry on trade or mining operations.
Between Germany and England, it was at that time decided that the exercise of sovereign rights should ever be dependent on the consent of the protecting Power.
A glance at these decisions enables one to note the bearing of the decisions of the Colonial Council on the second question.
The kernal of the decisions lies in this, that the Colonial Council sees, not only in the granting of exclusive rights and monopolies, but also in the giving over of the rights to the territory of the tribe or to improportionately large or insufficiently bounded portions of territory, a renunciation of sovereign rights which the Government is not to look upon as valid.
In such instances, as a fact, the acquisition is tantamount to occupation of the district in question. It is self evidently in opposition to the conception of the sovereign right of a State when, in the territory which is subject to its sovereign authority, the members of some other State possess rights of use and property, which render entirely out of the question the economic expansion by private persons, and place the development of the country entirely in the hands of this proprietor.
He who has possession of the whole territory has also the sovereignty over its members, and determines their social, economic, and political development.
Should others than foreigners become the proprietors of such an extended possession, the objections to such a state are not so apparent, though actually the position is the same.
It thus appears that with regard to the decisions under (d), the difference between foreigners and non-foreigners only becomes evident when the Government is recommended, in those instances where, according to the circumstances of the case, it feels it incumbent on itself to recognize Concessions of this character, to establish as a condition that the Company to be formed to carry on the Concession must be subject to German law.
We are unconsciously here reminded that the Government once refused to one of our Colonial Companies their consent to a by no means disadvantageous Agreement for the handing over of the larger portion of their Colonial possession, because those who would acquire it were foreigners.
The Colonial Council in its decisions has placed itself on the same footing.

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 thre Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold se; arately.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and wifile alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantoncse, 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 CATCHICK PAUL CHATER.
The Council met pursuant to adjournment.
The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 4th December, 1891, were read and confirmed. The Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD moved 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 1822 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.
Honourable P. RYRIE seconded.
The Council divided and the resolution was rejected by seven to three votes.

FIRE BRIGADE Department,
HONGKONG, 6th January, 1892.
SIR,I have the honour to submit for the information of His Excellency the Governor the follow- ing report on the Government Fire Brigade for the year 1891.
Fires, &c.
1. During the year there were 81 fires and alarms of fire; and the value of the property destroyed is estimated at $33,320.
2. The following table shews the number of fires at which the services of the Brigade were required, each year, during the last ten years.

3. In my report for the year 1888 I attributed the enormous increase in the number of fires to the effects of " Cheap Fire Insurance," and I think the great decrease during the last three years is due, in great measure, if not entirely, to the action of the Fire Insurance Companies and to the pro- ceedings under the Fire Enquiry Ordinance (No. 23 of 1888).
4. Of the fires that took place during the year three only were the subject of official enquiry under the Ordinance, and no prosecution was instituted.
5. I am glad to be able to report, that no casualty whatever occurred at any of the fires.
6. The fires on the 5th and 6th May last, both occurred close to the Electric Light lines and shewed clearly the disadvantages of the present system of overhead Electric Light wires. In the first case, the line was damaged by the fire, and the firemen, in consequence, ran additional risk to life and limb, and in the second, to avoid accidents, the current was shut off, thereby plunging part of the City into almost total darkness.

8. I am pleased to be able to report, that the conduct of the men has been good. The engines, stores, and
gear generally, have been carefully attended to by Mr. CAMPBELL, the Assistant Engineer. 9. The laying of the new water mains throughout the City has nearly been completed, and I am of opinion that during the current year, the number of Manual Engines may safely be reduced, and a saving to the Government thus effected.
10. I enclose a report by Mr. KINGHORN, the Engineer, on the present state of the engines; and also a return of fires and alarms of fire during the year.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,

The following Report of the Acting Surveyor General, for the year 1891, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 25th instant, is published.
By Command,
W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 29th January, 1892.

SURVEYOR GENERAL'S OFFICE,
HONGKONG, 13th January, 1892.

{
SIR,-I have the honour to forward you the following report on the works carried out by the Surveyor General's Department during the
year 1891.
ANNUALLY RECURRENT EXPENDITURE.
2. Repairs of Buildings.-The number of Buildings of all descriptions the maintenance of which has been under the charge of this department was at the beginning of the year 114, a complete list of which will be found in the Blue Book.
3. The whole of these with the exception of Mountain Lodge, Whitfield Police Station, Shau- kiwan School, the Old Central School and Shamshuipo School, have been maintained in a satisfactory state of repair throughout.
4. The following buildings have been painted externally:-The Government Civil Hospital (New Wing), the European Lunatic Asylum, Number 9 Police Station, the Police Stations at Hung Hom and Shaukiwan, and the Sai-ying-poon and Hung Hom Markets.
5. The construction of a small addition to the Magistracy consisting of two rooms providing additional accommodation for the clerical staff has been commenced.
6. The present condition of Mountain Lodge is most unsatisfactory; the buildings were erected some years ago, before residence in the Hill District assumed anything like the proportions it has done of recent years, and are now in a dilapidated condition and practically unfit for occupation.
The cost of repairing the existing buildings would be considerable and the accommodation provided falls far short of that necessary for even ordinary comfort during so lengthened a residence in the Hill District as it has of late years been deemed desirable to make.
The time has undoubtedly arrived, owing to the natural decay of the existing buildings, when some steps should be taken to replace them by a more substantial and convenient structure.
inn.
7. Whitfield Police Station has been vacated by the police and is now let for the purposes of an
8. Shaukiwan School not being any longer required and being in a dilapidated condition, it was considered advisable to pull it down.
9. The Old Central School buildings have remained unoccupied, except by a caretaker, but it is not advisable to remove them pending some decision being arrived at as to the future utilisation of
the site.
10. The school building at Shamshuipo has been in a dilapidated state and unoccupied for the greater part of the year and owing to the establishment of a Basil Mission School in this village no further demand at present appears to exist for a Government school building in this locality.
11. Maintenance of Telegraph.-The Government Telegraph lines have been maintained in a fairly satisfactory condition, but more active supervision in respect of the alignment of the poles and the fixing of the wires appears necessary.
At present there are 51 miles of land line and 3.3 miles of sub-marine lines which have been main- tained during the past year. Two-and-one-half (24) miles of land line were constructed during
1891.
12. The Public Cemetry.-The Public Cemetery has been maintained in a satisfactory manner. Towards the latter part of the year it became necessary to make a further extension on the south
side.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JANUARY, 1892.
13. Maintenance of Praya Wall and Piers.-Little has been done to the Praya Wall and Piers in the City as the construction of the New Praya Wall will, in the course of a few years, necessitate their removal.
14. A contract was entered into in September for the construction of a new pier at Yaumati having an area of 4,410 square feet, the old one being severely damaged by the gale in July last. This work is progressing satisfactorily.
15. The length of Praya Wall existing in Hongkong and Kowloon is 8 miles and the number of Public Piers is 19. The total expenditure under this heading includes $709.84 spent on the new pier at Yaumati.
16. Maintenance of Lighthouses.-The Lighthouses, three in number, have required no extensive repairs.
17. Maintenance of the Disinfector.-It is satisfactory to record that the Disinfector has seldom been required during the past year. The expenditure under this heading includes the cost of the
watchman.
18. Dredging Foreshores.--During the past year 37,713 cubic yards of material have been removed from the Harbour at a cost of $10,614.19 including the cost of maintenance of one Priestman's dredger.
19. Miscellaneous Works.-With the exception of the repair of the sea wall and roadway along the south side of Causeway Bay, no works of any importance requiring special remark have been carried out under this heading.
20. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Victoria.-The total length of streets and roads in the City is about 35 miles, about 24 miles of which have been re-made and the remainder kept in repair. The roads and streets particularly in the central portion of the City have been much cut up by the laying of new sewers and water pipes and until such operations are complete it is practically throwing money away to attempt to maintain them in such a condition as would, under ordinary circumstances, be considered satisfactory. During the latter part of the year in such portions of the City as the operations of the Water and Drainage Department were practically completed, the roads and streets have been taken in hand many of which are now in a satisfactory state of repair.
21. The Bridges have all been maintained in a satisfactory condition except the Praya Bridge over the Bowrington Canal which is now undergoing reconstruction and will be referred to under the heading "Extraordinary Public Works."
22. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges out of Victoria.-The roads outside the City have received a good deal of attention during the past year and extensive repairs have been carried out in many instances specially to those from Little Hongkong to Stanley, Stanley to Shaukiwan, Tytam Tuk to Tytam Reservoir, and from Tytam Gap to Cape D'Aguilar.
23. The general repair of the roads in the Hill District is now in hand.
24. During the gale of July last a portion of the sea wall on the Shaukiwan Road, some 100 lineal yards in length, was carried away and with it a part of the road. A new wall has been built and the road repaired.
25. A new road 500 lineal yards in length has been constructed from Shaukiwan to A-Kung- Ngam.
26. The existing Bridges have been kept in a thorough state of repair. There are, however, three bridges on the Stanley Road, viz.: two in Deep Water Bay and one at Tsinshuiwan which were destroyed some years ago and never reinstated. I am of opinion that now that this road has been put in a good state of repair and is becoming more used these bridges should be reinstated; the reconstruc- tion of which I propose to deal with in a separate report.
27. The total length of roads outside the City is about 50 miles including the Aberdeen and Shaukiwan Carriage Roads.
28. The Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Kowloon.-The Roads at Tsimshatsui, Yaumati and Hung Hom have been extensively repaired.
29. Six hundred (600) lineal yards of new roads are in course of construction and are now nearly completed. Fifteen hundred and fifty (1,550) lineal yards of new roads have been completed, the most important of which is the road along the southern shore from Tsimshatsui to Hung Hom providing means of communication by jinricksha between Tsimshatsui Pier and Hung Hom, a distance of about two miles.
30. Ten hundred and twenty (1,020) lineal yards of streets at Hung Hom have been kerbed and channelled and the footways concreted.
31. The total length of roads and streets in Tsimshatsui, Yaumati and Hung Hom is about 9 miles.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30?? JANUARY, 1892.

32. A new bridge has been constructed over the stream at the north end of Yaumati Village and the Swing Bridge on the Praya over the entrance to the Police dock which was damaged by the gale in July last has been repaired.
33. Street Lighting.-Previous to 1st of December, 1890, the City had for some years past been lighted exclusively by gas supplied by the Hongkong and China Gas Company. At the commencement of 1891 there existed 857 lamps.
In October, 1890, a contract was entered into with the Electric Company for the erection of 64 arc lights in the central and eastern portions of the City. These were first lighted in December, 1890.
In April last a contract was made for the erection of eleven additional lamps which were lighted in September last.
34. The total number at present erected is therefore 75, the estimated candle power of which is 150,000 and the annual cost of lighting $22,000.
35. There at present exist in addition to electric lights 653 gas lamps exclusive of those in the Military Cantonment. The annual cost of lighting and maintaining which is $23,000.
36. In addition to the foregoing there are fifteen gas lamps in the Military Cantonment towards which the Colony pays $250.50 per annum.
37. Making the total annual cost of lighting the public thoroughfares of the City $45,750.50.
38. The following is a short description of the system of electric lighting adopted; for much of the information I am indebted to Mr. W. H. WICKHAM, the Company's Engineer, under whose super- vision the work has been carried out:-
39. The Central Station of the Electric Company is situated in Wing Fung Street, in which is installed the Plant for supplying the arc lamps in the public streets.
40. The Plant consists of 3 engines driving 3 dynamos of the type known as "Brush Series Arc Light Dynamos" each dynamo being capable of supplying 50 to 55 arc lamps of 2,000 candle power nominal. One of these Engines and Dynamos are held in reserve.
41. The 75 arc lamps, at present supplied, are connected in two separate circuits, one supplying 39 lamps and the other 36 lamps, arranged so that the first circuit supplies the lamps in the central and western portions of the City on the Queen's Road level, and the second supplies the lamps in the upper portion of the City and Queen's Road East.
42. The total length of conducting wires employed is about eleven miles. The conductor used consists of a strand of 7 wires each No. 16 B. W. G. tinned hard-drawn copper, and is continuously insulated with vulcanized india-rubber protected by a braided covering, and is suspended from a steel wire bearer consisting of a strand of 3 No. 14 B. W. G. galvanized wires, these bearers being supported on Porcelain Fluid Insulators carried overhead on Tubular Iron Poles along the thorough- fares of the City.
43. The arc lamps are known as the Brokie-Pell type, and contain regulating mechanism to adjust the Carbon Pencils as these consume. The Carbon Pencils are renewed in each lamp daily.
44. The Electric Difference of Potential at the terminals of the two circuits of 39 and 36 lamps is about 2,050 and 1,930 volts respectively, and the current supplied in either circuit ranges between 9.6 and 9.3 amperes.
As the lamps are connected in series the current supplied to the most distant lamp is of the same value as that supplied to the nearest.
LAND SURVEY DEPARTMENT.
45. During the past year ten land sales have taken place. The area leased being 780,494 square feet, premiums realised $35,839. Eight extensions of existing lots of a total area of 355,020 square feet have been granted. The amount of premium paid is $7,007.55 and annual Crown rent $454.
46. Surveys have been made, boundaries corrected and plans and particulars for the preparation of 90 new leases forwarded to the Land Office.
47. Surveys have been made of Wongneichong, Aberdeen and a portion of Kowloon in all covering an area of 143·29 acres.
48. One thousand five hundred and eighty-four (1,584) Squatter's licences have been issued, the fees for which amount to $5,502.28.
49. A complete return has been prepared of the lands held by those on the Rent Roll and under the tenure of a Squatter's licence in the island of Hongkong.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JANUARY, 1892.
INSPECTION OF BUILDINGS.
50. The work of this branch is regulated by Ordinance 15 of 1889, the Amending Ordinance passed during the present Session, and Ordinance No. 4 of 1888.
51. During the past year plans for 22 European houses, 149 Chinese houses, and 64 for miscella- neous structures have been deposited, also 142 plans for alterations to existing buildings, making in all 377 under Section 69 of the above mentioned Ordinance.
52. One hundred and fifty-five (155) buildings have been certified under Section 53 of Ordinance 15 of 1889.

56. Fifty-five (55) permits have been issued for the erection and repair of monuments and enclo- sures in the Colonial Cemetery. The fees received amount to $302.33.
57. The above returns compared with those for the year 1890 shew an increased activity in building operations.
58. All plans deposited have been numbered and the registers are complete up to date.
EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC WORKS.
59. The Central Market. -The construction of the foundations for the New Central Market was completed in August last and the contractor has been allowed to proceed with the superstructure to the level of the plinth.
60. I regret to say that owing to the various opinions expressed respecting the design of the superstructure no design was definitely settled on till late in the year.
61. Since September last the completion of the necessary details for the carrying out of this work have received my careful attention, and I trust that active operations for the completion of the super- structure will be commenced shortly and that before another year passes more satisfactory progress will have been made with this important building.
62. Gap Rock Lighthouse.-Good progress has been made with the construction of the lighthouse on the Gap Rock situated in the China Sea at a distance of 30 miles from Hongkong.
63. The buildings consisting of Tower, European and Chinese Quarters, and house for condensing apparatus have been completed with the exception of stair railings, a small portion of joiner's and painter's work and special fittings for oil tank.
64. The lantern which will contain a revolving light of the first order has been erected and the erection of the revolving apparatus and lamp is in hand. The level of the focal plane of the light above mean sea level is 140 feet and in clear weather will be visible at a distance of about 20 miles. The lantern and light apparatus were obtained from Messrs. CHANCE BROTHERS of Birmingham.
65. The apparatus for condensing sea water is in progress and now very nearly complete.
66. The steam tender Fame has made 153 trips conveying workmen to and from the rock with provisions, water and materials for their use. The Fame has proved most suitable for the work and has been maintained in good order.
67. Reclamation in front of Marine Lots 240 to 246 Kennedytown.-A Contract (7) dated 26th November, 1887, was entered into with Mr. TSANG KENG for the construction of the Praya Wall (1,410 lineal feet in length) including foundation, raising the level of the reclaimed ground, and the construction of storm water drains and other works necessary for the completion of this reclamation except roads.
68. Prior to the commencement of 1891 the rubble foundations had been completed, 127,000 cubic yards of earth filling and 5,000 cubic yards of concrete deposited and 70,000 cubic feet of ma- sonry set.
69. During the present year 81,000 cubic yards of filling and 5,000 cubic yards of concrete have been deposited and 13,362 cubic feet of masonry set.
70. Owing to the continuation of the settlement at the southern extremity this work has not yet been completed, but as the settlement now appears to have ceased the remaining portion of the wall will be proceeded with and should shortly be completed.
L
71
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JANUARY, 1892.
71. Training Albany Nullah and Branches.-The work of training the Albany Nullah and branches has progressed considerably and is now nearly completed.
72. The Albany Nullah 15 feet by 9 feet was completed in September last and Branch Nullah No. 1-3 feet 6 inches by 4 feet 6 inches-in August last.
73. Nearly the whole of the excavation for the training of branch nullah No. 2-3 feet 6 inches by 4 feet 6 inches-is completed and about 313 lineal yards of the masonry work have been constructed.
74. The walls and invert of the Albany Nullah are of masonry backed with concrete.
75. The walls of the branch nullahs are of similar construction and the inverts are formed of
concrete.
76. A substantial stone bridge 15 feet 6 inches in width with ornamental stone parapets has been constructed over the Albany Nullah for the purpose of carrying the Kennedy Road. This bridge replaces the wooden structure destroyed by the storm in 1889.
77. New Roads and Preparatory Work Kennedy Road Sites.-A contract was entered into with Mr TSANG KENG in October, 1890, for the construction of the MacDonnell Road contouring the hill side between the Kennedy and Bowen Roads.
78. This road is 586 lineal yards in length and 20 feet in width situated at a level of 272 feet above sea level and is carried over the Albany Nullah by a substantial stone bridge and the Hong- kong High Level Tramway by an iron arch bridge.
79. Most of the excavation and embankment necessary for the construction of MacDonnell Road has been completed.
80. The bridge over the Albany Nullah with the exception of the iron railings was completed in November last.
81. The abutments and wing walls of the bridge over the tram line are completed and the iron work is nearly ready for erection.
82. Re-construction of Praya Bridge over Bowrington Canal.-The necessary wrought-iron girders for the reconstruction of this bridge having been obtained from England, a contract was entered 'into with Messrs. CHAN A TONG & Co. for their erection and for the masonry work required; and with Messrs. FENWICK & Co. for the construction of cast and wrought-iron railings in November last.
83. This bridge is 19 feet wide and has three spans of 29 feet 6 inches.
84. On examination it was found that the foundations of the piers and abutments of the old bridge had been considerably undermined. These have now been protected with sheet piling and a concrete apron laid.
85. The tops of the piers have been levelled ready to receive the girders.
86. Satisfactory progress has been made by Messrs. FENWICK & Co. with the iron railings. 87. Improvements Recreation Ground Happy Valley.-A contract was entered into with Mr. Foo SIK in July, 1890, for raising the area known as the "pond" about 4 acres in extent to the same level as the remaining portion of the ground was raised to in 1888. This work was completed in April last. 88. In April last a contract was entered into with Mr. TSANG SAM for the sub-soil drainage, This work was including the laying of about 2,000 lineal yards of drains, and for turfing this area. completed in October last.
89. The total area available for recreation is now upwards of 27 acres.
90. Cattle Depot Extension.-An agreement for the preparation of the site for the extension of the Cattle Depot at Kennedytown was entered into with Mr. TSANG KENG in July last. This work was completed in October last and a further contract was entered into with Mr. CHEUNG NAM for the erection of the building. The amount of this contract is $6,035 and the time for completion is May next. This work has made satisfactory progress and there is every probability of its being completed within the contract time.
91. Slaughter House, Sheep and Pig Depot.-The preparation of the site was commenced in October, 1890, the contract having been secured by Mr. Tsang Keng.
92. 31,000 cubic yards of excavation and 4,500 cubic yards of masonry and concrete work in retaining walls have been completed, and the site will shortly be ready for the commencement of the buildings, the specifications and detail drawings for which are now being prepared.
93. The area of the site is 92,430 square feet.
94. Slaughter House, Kowloon.-This building which is situated about mile from the village of Hung Hom and near the rifle ranges is being erected by Mr. TSANG KENG under contract (1). The amount of which is $5,750 and the time for completion February next.
72
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JANUARY, 1892.
95. The building consisting of three slaughter houses, one exclusively for the use of Indians, the others for the killing of cattle, sheep and pigs; three sheds for the accommodation of animals to be slaughtered, office, coolie quarters and out-buildings covers an area of 8,615 square feet and is approaching completion.
96. Public Laundries.-A site 17,660 square feet in area has been selected for the construction of ten public laundries on Kennedy Road, Wanchai.
97. These laundries consisting of two living rooms, cook house, washing, drying and ironing rooms are being erected by Mr. TSANG SAM under contract (9). Good progress has been made with the work, and the laundries will shortly be ready for occupation.
98. Public Latrines.-Previous to the past year very inadequate latrine accommodation existed in the villages of Hongkong and Kowloon. To meet this want ten cast-iron latrines obtained from Messrs. MACFARLANE & Co. of Glasgow have been erected in the villages of Stanley, Shaukiwan, Aplichau, Hung Hom and Yaumati. They appear to meet the requirements of the native population and will doubtless improve the sanitary condition of the villages.
99. Latrines were also completed in June last in Jardine's Bazaar and Poyan Street. The former covers an area of 540 square feet and the latter an area of 770 square feet.
100. Civil Hospital Staff Quarters.-This building is situated at the corner of High Street at its junction with Eastern Street and occupies a site 21,114 square feet in area. The building is two stories in height and consists of 10 bed rooms, 5 sitting rooms, an office and one dining room with the necessary servants' quarters,
quarters, bath and lavatory accommodation.
101. In addition to the above a chemical laboratory 41 feet by 21 feet and store rooms have been provided.
102. A contract (8) was entered into with Mr. TSANG KENG in November, 1889, for its erection the time fixed for its completion being May, 1891. I regret, however, that owing to what appears to be inexcusable delay on the part of the contractor this building is not yet completed though in a very advanced stage.
5
103. Civil Hospital Coolie Quarters-Commenced in July, 1890, the contract (%) being obtained by Mr. Wo SING were completed in April, 1891. This building occupies a site (2,800 square feet) within the Hospital compound and is two stories in height consisting of 7 rooms with the necessary bath, lavatory and kitchen accommodation.
104. Civil Hospital alterations and additions.-Under this heading, the necessary boiler house, boiler and piping have been provided and erected for supplying hot water to the bathrooms, lavatories and kitchen throughout the Civil Hospital main buildings.
105. The contract for this work was obtained by Messrs. FENWICK & Co. in May last and has been satisfactorily completed at a cost of $850.
106. The retaining wall on the northern boundary has been built and a few minor improvements have also been carried out.
107. Lunatic Asylum for Chinese.-This building situated in High Street occupies an area of 11,700 square feet, including an airing court of 5,650 square feet, was commenced in April, 1890, by Mr. YEE HING under contract (13) and satisfactorily completed in July, 1891.
108. The building is two stories in height in addition to a 7-foot basement and consists of 4 day rooms and 16 single cells, four of which are padded. Four rooms are provided for the attendants and office as well as the necessary servants' quarters, kitchen, bath and lavatory accommodation.

111. The accommodation provided consists of 3 rooms for a married Inspector, mess-room and barrack-room for 4 European Constables, barrack-rooms for 6 Sikh Constables, 8 Chinese Constables and 6 Water Police with lavatory and bath accommodation, 4 cells, charge room, stables, store-rooms, servants' quarters and kitchens.
112. The site is divided into two terraces, the stables, store-rooms, &c. being placed on the lower and the remaining buildings on the upper.
113. Police Station at Quarry Bay-Occupying an elevated site on the western side of Quarry Bay 4,340 square feet in area, is a one-storied building containing 2 rooms, store-room and 2 cells.
73
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JANUARY, 1892.
Detached from the main building but approached by a covered way are the kitchens, servants' quarters and offices. This building was commenced in November, 1890, and completed in July last by Mr. CHAN A TONG under contract (24).
114. Kennedytown Police Station.-The sum of $2,000 has been expended in erecting a retain- ing wall at the back of the building and cutting away the steep hill side which had commenced to slip.
115. District School Sai-ying-poon.-This school is situated at the junction of High Street with Pokfulam Road and was commenced in September, 1890. It occupies an area of 6,530 square feet. Three class rooms are provided and fitted up to accommodate 186 children. Quarters have been provided for a coolie and the necessary kitchen accommodation and offices. The work has been carried out by Mr. YEUNG A TING under contract (1) and was completed in June last.
116. Additions to Government House-Erected from the designs of Messrs. PALMER & TURNER and under their supervision, was commenced in April, 1890, consist of a ball room 60 feet by 40 feet, supper, card, and billiard rooms and other accessories, is situated at the eastern end of Government House and occupies a site 2,700 square feet in area.
117. The building with the exception of the decorations and lighting was completed in September last. A contract has been entered into with the Electric Company for lighting this portion of Government House with electricity.
118.. The installation of the Electric Light has been commenced and consists of 138 incandescent lamps of a total candle-power amounting to upwards of 2,600.
119. The alternating current for supplying these lamps will be taken from the Electric Com- pany's house-lighting mains at a pressure of 2,000 volts and will be reduced by a transformer placed in the building to a pressure of 100 volts for the purposes of lighting the lamps.

*
173. For the purpose of weighting the foundation and as far as practicable reducing further settlement after the permanent work has been commenced the concrete blocks are to be laid on the rubble foundations as soon as they have. been completed to within 3 feet of low water level over a base of 16 feet and carried up to a height of 6 feet above proposed coping level. On the completion of the settlement these blocks are to be removed, the rubble foundation levelled and the two courses of blocks above mentioned permanently set. Upon these the masonry wall will be constructed.
174. Sir JOHN COODE in his report dated the 18th of March, 1890, approved of the late Surveyor General's recommendation and further advised that these blocks be faced with granite built in during their preparation on the exposed face.

177. The levelling of the foundations and depositing the blocks are being done departmentally. 178. The site selected by the late Surveyor General for the construction of the blocks is situated
at the western end of the existing Praya along which a tramway has been laid.
179. An 8-ton travelling crane has been obtained from Messrs. RANSOMES & RAPIER of England for the purpose of removing these blocks from the yard and placing them on to the block barges which are then towed by the steam tug Praya to alongside the rubble foundations. A Floating Steam Der- rick is then used to place the blocks on the foundations and they are accurately adjusted by divers.
180. The Steam Tug, Floating Steam Derrick and two Block Barges, each capable of carrying 12 blocks, about 75 tons, were made by the Hongkong & Whampoa Dock Company at their works in

The following Report of the Resident Engineer, Water and Drainage Department, for the year 1891, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 25th instant, is published.
****

By Command,
W. M. GOODMAN,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 29th January, 1892.
SIR,
RESIDENT ENGINEER'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 13th January, 1892.
I have the honour to forward you the following report on the maintenance and construction of Water and Drainage Works during the year 1891.
EXISTING WORKS.
1. During the year 1890 as stated in my report of that year an addition was made to the Water Works of the City of Victoria by the completion of the Pokfoolum Filter Beds and Service Reservoir, three small covered Service Reservoirs and about 10 miles of mains, the erection of forty-nine public fountains and twenty-four meters; and to the Sewerage Works of the Colony by the completion of about three miles of new main sewers.
These works have all been maintained at a trifling cost and have proved theinselves during the past year to amply meet the requirements for which they were constructed.
2. The Tytam and Pokfoolum reservoirs and the works in immediate connection therewith have been maintained in a satisfactory state of repair without any works of an exceptional nature being required.
The construction of the byepass at the Pokfoolum reservoir reported as being complete in my last annual report has done good service during the past year and materially lessened the work and expenditure that would have been involved at the filter beds had this work not been accomplished.
3. The Wong-nei-cheong Dam or Blue Pool. This reservoir has been cleaned out and the pipes leading therefrom through Bowrington to East Point cleaned. The water from this source is not filtered and is only laid on at present to the Bowrington and East Point Sugar Refineries. Previous to July a portion of the eastern part of the City was supplied from this source, but the houses connected with the main from the Blue Pool were on the pipes and fittings being put in order connected with the new mains and are now supplied with filtered water.
All water supplied to the Refineries is measured by meter.
4. The Mint Dam.-This reservoir has also been cleaned out and meters have been fixed to measure the capabilities of the works in connection with it. The water supplied from this source is not filtered and is now mainly used for supplying East Point Sugar Refinery and the stables at Causeway Bay. Previous to last July a portion of the Eastern part of the City was also supplied from this source.
year. The
5. The Tytam and Pokfoolum Filter Beds have been in constant use throughout the maximum rate of filtration has been 800 gallons per square yard per 24 hours in the case of Tytam and at the rate of 1,000 gallons per square yard per 24 hours in the case of the Pokfoolum Filter Beds. The Tytam beds required cleaning once in 13 days and the Pokfoolum Beds once in 12 days.
6. The Distribution Works.-The efficiency of the distribution works was materially improved by the addition of some 102 miles of new mains during the year 1890 which early in the past year permitted the removal of several of the old mains which were a constant source of anxiety and waste
of water.
7. The total expenditure on the maintenance of the water works during 1891 was $7,074.53 which is divided as follows:-
&
Maintaining the Tytam Reservoir Conduit and Filter Beds $1,862.58. Maintaining the Pokfoolum Reservoir Conduit and Filter Beds $1,230.76.
Maintaining the Distribution Works including the cost of pumping water to the higher levels of the City and since the 7th of August to the Hill District $3,981.19.
.
82
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JANUARY, 1892.
8. The total quantity of water supplied was 870,041,470 gallons so that the cost of maintenance per 1,000,000 gallons supplied, neglecting Engineering supervision but including the expenditure incurred in the prevention of waste, has been $8.13 as compared with $7.81 the previous year.
Tables A., Al., A2. shew the quantity of water supplied from each source each month during the years 1889, 1890, 1891 the average minimum temperature and the rainfall from which diagrams No. 1 and 14* have been prepared.
I shall refer to this later on when dealing with the question of the consumption of water.
9. The Quality of the Water supplied.--I am indebted to Mr. W. E. CROW, the Government Analyst, for a monthly analysis of the water supplied from the Pokfoolum and Tytam reservoirs before and after filtration from which Tables B. and B1. have been compiled.
Though the analyses speak for themselves there is an apparent anomaly in the total solids before filtration being less than those after filtration during the months of January, February and December in the case of the Tytam water, and January, February, March, May, October and December in the case of the Pokfoolum water. This seems due to the increased hardness of the water after filtration which is accounted for by the quantity of lime existing in the sand composing the filtering material. The ultimate hardness is so small that this slight increase is no detriment to the quality of the water either for domestic or dietetic purposes.
Speaking generally the water supplied during the past year has been of exceptional purity for a public water supply and compares most favourably with the public water supplies of the United Kingdom.
10. During the month of May on the first heavy rains occurring, after probably the severest drought experienced in this Colony within the memory of any one living, the water assumed tempora- rily a milky white appearance of so noticeable a character that public attention was called to it and a special report was made by Mr. E. W. LUCAS, the Assistant Government Analyst, a copy of which I attach.
11. The entire absence of ammonia in the filtered samples of the Pokfoolum water is a notice- able fact. The analyses of the filtered samples in the case of the Tytam water is not so satisfactory in this respect.
The difference is probably due to the fact that the water after filtration in the case of the Pokfoo- lum supply is stored in a covered reservoir whilst in the case of the Tytam supply, it is stored in an open reservoir in close proximity to the City.
12. The reduction of free ammonia and albumenoid ammonia by filtration is satisfactory evidence of the efficiency of the filters.
The covering over of the Tytam Service Reservoir has received my attention and detail plans and estimates have been prepared.
13. Consumption of Water.-As will be seen on reference to tables A., A.1, A.2, the approximate total consumption of water during the past year has been 870,041,470 gallons as against 823,019,012 gallons in 1890, and 778,146,993 gallons in 1889.
That the consumption should have increased is by no means to be wondered at when it is borne in mind that previous to the commencement of this year water was only very imperfectly distributed and the greater part of the eastern and western portions of the City now supplied with filtered water were previously supplied with unfiltered water from various sources (the yield of which there was no means of ascertaining) and what distribution works existed had been far out-reached by the rapidly increasing population and extension of the built area necessitating the collection of water from streams on the hill-side.
Since the month of June the whole City has practically without interruption been provided with a constant supply and water is now readily accessible not only to the residents in the City but also to those in the hill district.
14. The introduction of a constant supply at a high pressure following on an intermittent supply naturally led in the first instance to considerable waste; persons who had been accustomed to leave their taps open all night so as to secure, during the few hours the water was obtainable under an intermittent system of supply, sufficient water for their daily wants scarcely realised the fact that such a precaution was no longer necessary and doubtless much waste was occasioned in this manner.
15. The additional pressure obtained with the new system of pipes increased the waste of water through defective fittings and leaky pipes.
16. The sources of waste have received my careful attention and in May last Mr. DRAPER was engaged for the purpose of making an house-to-house inspection. Such an operation though absolutely necessary in the first instance is, as is well known to those who have had work of this nature to perform, a very tedious one, and compliance with the necessary rules and regulations for the prevention of waste is by no means easy to obtain. However good work has been done upwards of 1,900 Houses Services

have been inspected of which 1,023 were found defective, 741 have since been altered so as to comply with the regulations. The remainder have been notified and if the services are not put in order on the expiration of the notice they will be disconnected from the mains. Some serious leaks within private premises have been detected by the temporary fixing of a meter.
On the whole I consider the results encouraging.
Though there still doubtless exist many defective old services, particularly in the centre of the City, as house-to-house inspection progresses these will be detected and remedied or disconnected from the mains.
17. The present population of the City and Peak is 143,402 exclusive of the Naval and Military, the consumption of filtered water for the last quarter of the year has been 255,814,200 gallons including 4,231,000 gallons used for trade purposes and 1,045,000 gallons supplied to the Naval Yard and 5,017,000 gallons supplied to the Military giving an average of 19 gallons nearly per head per diem supplied to the Civil Population for domestic purposes.
18. I attach diagrams Nos. 2, 3 and 4* shewing the hourly consumption of water from the Tytam and Pokfoolum Service Reservoirs during periods of 24 hours.
A comparison of these diagrams shews that the abnormal regularity of draught during the 24 hours obtained in the case of Tytam on the 21st of June, 1890, (at which time the district supplied was under a constant service) indicating a considerable amount of waste has to a very large extent been remedied as shewn by the more normal diagram of the 14th December, 1891, which clearly records a marked improvement in the care bestowed in shutting taps and replacing defective fittings.
The reduction in the consumption of water between 6 P.M. and 6 A.M. is particularly satisfactory. The same remarks apply to some extent to the diagrams shewing the hourly consumption of the Pokfoolum water on 24th August and 14th of December. The comparatively heavy draught between the hours of midnight and 5 A.M. is partly attributable to the system of scavengering prevalent in the City, which is not a water-closeted city, for during these hours night-soil contractor's men are at work and doubtless a considerable quantity of water is used by them for the washing of utensils, &c., and partly to the existence of certain water-consuming trades which the Chinese carry on night and day.
19. I cannot conclude this portion of my report without referring to the exceptionally low rainfall experienced in this Colony from the 16th of August, 1890, to the 13th of May, 1891. During this period of 270 days the total rainfall amounts to 13.26 inches or approximately 29.35 inches less than the average rainfall during the same period for the last 20 years.
20. The average duration of the dry season may be considered to last from October to April inclusive or 212 days, the average rainfall during this period for the last 20 years is 13.95 inches or of an inch more than that experienced during the 270 days of comparative drought of last dry
100 season.
21. Owing to the exceptionally small rainfall experienced in September and October, 1890, many of the springs along the Pokfoolum and Tytam conduits were intercepted and utilised for the purposes of water supply.
Tables A., A1., A2. shew the quantity of water abstracted from the reservoirs, the quantity inter- cepted from the springs, and the quantity consumed each month.
22. Though the constant supply was maintained from both sources. till the 4th of February there remained on that date only 87,000,000 gallons in the reservoirs. The daily consumption being 2,426,000 gallons, it became necessary to limit the hours of supply. Shutting off the water from 9 P.M. to 5 A.M. reduced the daily consumption by 450,000 gallons but further limiting of the hours of supply ultimately became necessary until on the 28th of April the minimum limit was reached and from that date to the 14th of May the water was only turned on for 2 hours a day, during which time 849,000 gallons per diem were delivered or 6 gallons per head per diem.
The quantity of water abstracted from the Pokfoolum Reservoir from the 1st of September, 1890, when the water fell below the level of the overflow to the 13th of May, 1891, was 66,000,000 gallons. The yield of the springs was 36,000,000 gallons.
Making the total supply obtained from this source 102,000,000 gallons.
The quantity of water abstracted from the Tytain Reservoir from the 22nd August, 1890, when the water fell to the level of the overflow to the 13th of May, 1891, was 312,000,000 gallons. The yield of the springs was 70,582,000 gallons.
Making the total supply obtained from this source 382,582,000 gallons.
23. The experience gained during this season points only too clearly to the fact that if an extension of the water works, involving I may say a heavy expenditure of money, is to be avoided in the near future, strenuous efforts must be made and stringent regulations enforced to avoid waste and misuse of water.

24. Drainage Works.-The storm water drains throughout the City have received constant attention and on the whole they have been maintained in an efficient state of repair and as free from deposit as can reasonably be expected so long as the combined system of sewerage exists.
As the new sewerage works progressed in the several districts improved gullies have been fixed for the purpose of intercepting road detritus which formerly found its way into the sewers causing considerable accumulat- ing in them.
The interception of this detritus and the systematic cleaning of the gullies is a matter of no sinall importance in the economical and efficient maintenance of these storm water drains.
The cost of removing material from the gullies is much less than that involved in its removal from the drains.
25. The Peak and Kowloon Sewers-have worked satisfactorily and have been maintained in a sound and sanitary condition. The establishment of a constant system of water supply to the Peak District has doubtless had a marked influence for good in facilitating the removal of house refuse by the water-carriage system and enabling a more constant system of flushing the sewers to be main- tained.
The total expenditure on the maintenance of sewers and storm water drains throughout the Colony during the past year was $1,110.44 as compared with $1,251.82 during the previous year; this expenditure does not include establishment charges.
NEW WORKS.
26. New Water Mains and Distributary System of the City of Victoria Water Works.-Considerable progress has been made with the main laying as will be seen from the attached Table C. 9.45 miles of new mains in various parts of the City have been laid and 6.97 miles of old mains have been inspected fitted with valves and bydrants so as to fit them for the services required under the new system.
Four hundred and four Fire Hydrants have been fixed.
27. A Motor house has been constructed over the Motor in Garden Road and accommodation in this building has been provided for one of the overseers in charge of the water works.
28. Fountains have been fixed in various parts of the City rendering water easily accessible to the tenants of property who have not got water laid on into their houses.
29. During the latter part of the year water has been regularly pumped up to the reservoir south of Inland Lot No. 715 and to that south of Pokfoolum Filter Beds thus rendering a constant service of filtered water at high pressure available in all parts of the district situated between the Pokfoolum Conduit and Caine Road.
30. The fixing of an Hydraulic Motor near Arbuthnot Road is in progress. When this is completed the pumping at the Bonham Road Station will be considerably relieved and in the event of necessity arising this Motor will be able to do temporarily the duty now performed by the Motor in the Garden Road,
31. A sum of $71,000 was voted in the year's Estimates for these works and the total expenditure has been $60,533.26.
With the exception of 1.3 miles of piping still required in the Glenealy Ravine, Kennedytown, Bonham Strand, Hillier and Jervois Streets, where owing to the extensive nature of the drainage works now being carried out, it has been found advisable to postpone the laying of the new water pipes for the present, the whole of the scheme so far as its completion at present is necessary has been com- pleted and filtered water distributed to all parts of the City.
32. The old mains where not required for the new system or where found defective have been removed. The sound pipes have been cleaned, tarred and placed into store and the unserviceable ones. sold. The cost of this work has been $2,650.88, and the amount realized including the value of those placed in store $3,856.57, shewing a credit balance of $1,205.69, which has been carried to the Water Account.
33. The total length of water mains existing in the City is 29.16 miles, the number of Fire Hydrants 404, the number of Valves 231, and the number of Public Fountains 102.
34. House Services.-The demands made on this department to lay on water to private tenements and in many instances to re-model old services or construct new ones within private premises have been very large.
During the past year 1,976 houses have been connected with the water mains and of these the entire service throughout the premises has been executed by this department in 350 instances, at the cost of the applicant.
The total length of piping that has been laid during the past year is 14 miles varying from " to 1". The expenditure under this heading has been $10,646.36.
The total number of houses now connected with the new mains is 2,575.

85
35. Meters.-Seventy meters varying from 3 of an inch to three inches are in use for measuring water supplied to Government Buildings and for trade purposes.
The expenditure under this heading amounts to $2,785.88.
36. Peak Water Supply.-The works for the supply of water to the Hill District which consist of a pumping station on the Bonham Road at a level of 160 feet above Ordnance Datum in which is installed a triple expansion condensing Engine (High Pressure Cylinder 5 inches diameter. Inter- mediate Pressure Cylinder 9 inches diameter. Low Pressure Cylinder 14 inches diameter) of the Worthington Duplex type actuating double ram pumps 22 inches diameter stroke 9 inches and an hydraulic duplex motor, diameter of cylinders 14 inches actuating differential rams 3 and 5 inches diameter stroke 3 feet. The engine is supplied with steam by a vertical boiler of Beely's Field tube type.
37. In the case of the hydraulic motor the power is obtained from the Pokfoolum Service Reservoir situated on a level of 437 feet above Ordnance Datum. The water after passing through the power cylinder exhausts into the water mains supplying the City. An average back pressure in the exhaust of 25 lbs. on the square inch is maintained by means of a bye-pass fitted with a reducing valve regulated to close on the back pressure exceeding 25 lbs. on the square inch.
The normal piston speed is 65 feet per minute.
The engine and boiler were supplied by Messrs. JAMES SIMPSON & CO., of Pimlico and the Hydraulic Motor by Messrs. HATHON DAVEY & Co., of London and Leeds.
Provision has also been made in this station for the erection of another hydraulic motor to pump to the reservoir sonth of the Pokfoolum Filter Beds.
A small reservoir has been constructed in the nullah adjoining the station for supplying water to the steam engine condenser.
38. From this station the water is pumped to a reservoir at the Peak at a level of 1,780 feet above Ordnance Datum through a 3-inch rising main 4,390 feet in length laid with hydraulic piping fitted together with screwed socket joints.
This main is for the greater part of its length on the surface and owing to the steep declivity of the hill side secured at intervals with holding down bolts.
Provision is made for expansion and contraction by the irregularity of the line adopted.
39. From the reservoir at the Peak the water is distributed through 1.93 miles of 3 inch piping. Three miles of 2 inch piping and 635 yards of 11?2 inch piping.
The capacity of the reservoir at the Peak is 10,000 gallons.
40. Five other covered reservoirs have been constructed, one near the "Eyrie," one at Mount Kellet, two at Mount Gough, one at Magazine Gap, having a joint capacity of 40,000 gallons. These works are now practically completed. Forty-four houses, including Mount Austin Hotel, in the Hill District have been connected with the water mains.
The population of the Peak at the last census was 1,100 and the consumption of water is about 20,000 gallons per day.
41. The whole of this work with the exception of the erection of the pumping station buildings has been carried out by this department without the intervention of a contractor.
The money voted was $32,800 and the expenditure has been $28,892.39.
42. Sewerage Works City of Victoria.-The sewerage works in the High Level District were completed in June last and comprise 3.61 miles of main sewers varying from 12 inches to 6 inches in diameter provided with manholes, ventilators and flushing arrangements. Several houses in this district have been connected with the new sewers.
43. The sewerage works of District No. 6 W. were commenced in March those of No. 5 W. in September and those in No. 4 W. in November last.
Of these the sewers in district No. 6 W. have been completed comprising 4.81 miles of sewers varying from 18 inches to 6 inches diameter and provided with manholes, ventilators and flushing arrangements, 1.62 miles of sewers have been completed in District No. 5 W. and half a mile in No. 4 W.
Making the total length of sewers laid within the City during 1891 nine miles.
44. One hundred and eighty gullies have been fixed in these districts.
45. The work of training the nullahs in the Western District of the City has also been completed. 46. The money voted for these works last year was $67,000 and the amount expended $54,737.29. This sum includes $1,262.34 expended in connecting house drains with the public sewers.
47. Hung Hom Sewerage.-The sewerage of the Village of Hung Hom (population 5,185) commenced in October 1890 has been completed and the drainage of every house in the Village re- arranged and connected with the new system.
This work comprises 12 miles of main sewers 9 inches, and 6 inches in diameter provided with the necessary manholes, ventilators and flushing arrangements also the concreting and channelling of 1,250 square yards of lanes and alleyways.
The money voted for this work was $9,000, the total amount expended $8,120.63.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JANUARY, 1892.
48. Yaumati Sewerage.-It has not been found possible to proceed with this work during the past year beyond the construction of a short length of sewer inmediately required for the sewerage of three new houses, but the contract drawings have been prepared and tenders advertised for. An early commencement is therefore anticipated.
49. Water Supply of Kowloon Peninsula.-Owing to the necessary pumping machinery not arriving till the middle of May the testing of the proposed source of water supply had to stand over till this winter. On the commencement of the present dry season the necessary works were pushed on with and there seems every probability of a fair supply being obtained from the valley selected. A detailed survey of this valley has been made and I hope shortly on the completion of the present experiments to lay before you a report on the results obtained and the further works necessary for completing the water supply of the Kowloon Peninsula.
The expenditure to date including the temporary plant now in use has been $5,701.66.
50. Miscellaneous Minor Works.-The only work under this heading of any importance calling for special notice, is the extension of the Victoria Gap sewer outfall. Owing to the construction of two large hotels draining into this outfall situated on the rising ground to the south of the City, it became necessary on sanitary grounds to extend this outfall to join the sewerage system of the City of Victoria. This work was commenced in November and is now drawing near completion.
The expenditure under this heading has been $1,053.48.
51. I attach Table D. shewing the total estimated cost of the works being carried out by this department, the amount expended previous to the year 1891 and the amount expended during the year 1891.
The expenditure on Kowloon Water Supply includes a large quantity of temporary plant, the value of which will on its return to store be credited to this vote.
The sum expended under heading Main Drainage and Sanitary was a re-vote to discharge liabilities incurred in the construction of a storm water drain in Jubilee Street during the year 1890.
The outstanding liabilities in connection with Extraordinary Public Works amount to about $4.000 which sum will be due on the expiration of the term of maintenance.
52. Plans and Records.-Accurate plans and records of the several works have been prepared as they progressed and are complete up to date.

SIR,
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 shewn 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 submit.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JANUARY, 1892.
A REPORT ON THE "WHITISH APPEARANCE" OF THE TAITAM
AND POKFULAM WATERS.
87
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 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 :

Silica.
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 :-

14. ANALYSIS OF THE MINERAL CONSTITUENTS :-So far as I am aware a complete mineral analysis of the Hongkong water supply has never been published. This being the case, and feeling that an exact knowledge of the mineral constituents of the water would be of value, I have made a careful analysis of the Pokfulam filtered water, and state the results below in grains per gallon.

This analysis conclusively proves what I have advanced in this report as 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 seen 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.

By sunrise we all assembled in our common apartment, the fire being previously kindled by the servant. After we had saluted each other with proper ceremony-for I always thought fit to keep up some mechanical forms of good breeding, without which freedom ever destroys friendship-we all bent in gratitude to that Being who gave us another day. This duty being performed, my son and I went to pursue our usual industry abroad, while my wife and daughters employed themselves in providing breakfast, which was always ready at a certain time.

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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 75.
Notice is hereby given that Messrs. CADBURY BROTHERS, of Bournville, near Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, England, have complied with the requirements of Ordinances 16 of 1873, and 8 of
1886, for the registration in this Colony of their Mark as applied to Cocoa and Chocolate; and that the same has been duly registered.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 4th February; 1892.
W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 76.
The following Finding of the Marine Court into the loss of the British steamer Namchow, Official No. 63,588, is published.
By Command,
W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 13th February, 1892.
FINDING.
We find that the Namchow was a British vessel of 1,109 tons registered tonnage, Official No. 63,588 belonging to the port of Penang.
It appears from the evidence before this Court that she cleared from Hongkong on the 6th instant bound for Amoy with a general cargo and a crew of 68 hands all told as well as not more than 491 passengers.
From the affidavits before the Court it appears that on the night of the 7th instant in the vicinity of Breaker Point the engines stopped and apparently the hull of the vessel was injured water entering and ultimately in spite of attempted repairs the vessel foundered about 8 A.M. on the morning of the
Sth instant.
All the Europeans on board and between three and four hundred of the passengers and crew were lost. The survivors were saved in fishing boats part reaching the fishing junk in one of the ship's boats and part being rescued from the water. The ship's boats with the one exception that reached the fishing junk appear to have been lowered and swamped alongside when the vessel sank.
Given under our hands this 28th day of January, 1892, at Victoria, Hongkong.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the dook, so that its usefulness is by no means cou- 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.

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.

ABSENT:
The Council met pursuant to adjournment.
The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 7th December, 1891, were read and confirmed. His Excellency moved the following address of condolence :
"We the Governor and Legislative Council of Hongkong desire to express our heartfelt sympathy with Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales in the irrepar- able bereavement they have sustained by the death of Prince ALBERT VICTOR, Duke of Clarence and Avondale."
Honourable C. P. CHATER seconded.
Question-put and agreed to.
His Excellency addressed the Council as follows :--
HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN.-As this is the first time we have met for the transaction of public business, I think that before we deal with the orders of the day I may very properly make some remarks in reference to the position and prospects of the Colony. Doubtless you expect me to do so. As a preface to these remarks I would mention that I am happy to find myself associated in Council with gentlemen several of whom have for a long time devoted their energies to the service of the Colony. I am certain that I shall receive from both official and un-official members that support and assistance which you are so well able to give, and
154

which have invariably been extended by this Council to a Governor who has, as I claim to have, the true interests of the community at heart. I shall always be ready to receive any advice and suggestions you may tender to me, and to weigh such advice most carefully and respectfully. Our relations will, I trust, be ever of the most harmonious character and the proceedings of the Council conducted with due dignity and decorum. Having only been in the Colony for six weeks I must claim your indulgence if I should appear in any way to fail to appreciate correctly the position of its affairs. The first public document which attracted my attention was naturally the address delivered in this chamber on the 15th of October last, and the Colonial Estimates for 1892 which had been sent home before my arrival. I at once conveyed to the Secretary of State an expression of my opinion that, in one particular at all events, those estimates were framed in far too sanguine a spirit. The principal item which struck me as over-estimated was a most valuable portion of our revenue, namely, the yield of the Opium Farm. There may, of course, have been an object in over-estimating this amount. The figures, I understand, were arrived at in the following manner:-1892, January and February, at the reduced amount agreed upon in 1891, namely, $35,800 per month, equal to $71,600; ten months at the original amount of tender, $39,800 equal to $398,000, making $469,600; add 1891 ten months' arrears at $5,000 per month equal to $50,000, making a total of $519,600. The highest tender which has been received for the next three years is at the rate of $340,000 a year, and therefore the receipts for 1892 will be as follows:-1891, ten months' arrears, at $5,000 per month, $50,000; 1892, January and February at reduced amount, $35,800, $71,600; 1891, ten months' at $28,400 per month, $284,000, making a total of $405,600 and leaving a deficit on the estimated revenue for 1892 of $114,000 and a prospect of $340,800 only from the Opium Farm for 1893 and 1894. It is hardly possible at this moment to state what the actual revenue and expenditure of 1891 have been, but I am informed that the amount collected was $2,019,136 instead of $2,052,098 as estimated. The difference is owing to the fact that land sales realised only $55,325 out of an estimate of $100,000. The total expenditure of 1891 will be as nearly as possible $2,357,488 instead of $2,416,626 the estimated amount. The expenditure therefore for 1891 will have been $338,352 in excess of the revenue. You will of course notice that those figures do not agree with the revised estimates for 1891, which are embodied in the Colonial Estimates issued in October, but they are compiled from the latest returns in the Colonial Treasury. The balance of assets over liabilities on the 31st December was, it is said, about $150,000. This is not a very large sum and points to the necessity of economy in the future. It will be my duty to prevent any ordinary expenditure therefore which is not absolutely necessary. There are some satisfactory features in the returns for 1891. For example, stamps were estimated to yield $179,356; there have been collected $193,959, showing an excess over the estimate of $14,603. The revenue from this source in 1890 was $203,160, an excessive yield which can easily be explained. In the Registrar General's departinent there has been an increase of $7,138; in the Supreme Court a decrease of $4,000. In the returns of that Court there is one most gratifying feature, namely, a remarkable decrease in the number of criminal cases tried. They amounted in 1891 to only 32, whereas the average from 1882 to 1886 was 87, and the average from 1887 to 1890 73 per annum. There is only one other item to which I would call special attention, and that is the tonnage of shipping in and out during 1891. My predecessor in one of his able and elaborate speeches stated that the total tonnage in and out in 1890 was 13 million tons, and he regarded it as phenomenal; but it may surprise you to learn that notwithstanding a slight shrinkage in the foreign junk trade, which is principally owing to the river steamers having absorbed the carriage of kerosine and matches, the shipping in and out last year represented no less than 14,005,698 tons.
Some very interesting and lucid returns from the Acting Harbour Master in reference to this stupendous traffic will shortly be published. During the last six weeks I have visited nearly every public institution and every public department. No stranger coming to Hongkong can fail to be struck with the magnificent works which have been and are being carried out by the Public Works department; the water and drainage works, Bowen Road, the great Reclamation Scheme, and the Central Market are and will be lasting monu- ments of the energy and ability of that department as well as of the liberality of the Legislative Council. But there are other works which have been recently executed or are nearing completion which might, in view of diminishing assets, have fairly been postponed until more prosperous times. With regard to the future, it is evident that if the public works extraordinary described in pages 43 and 44 of the Estimates are to be carried out, and I assume for the moment that their necessity with perhaps very few exceptions is admitted, the revenue will not be able to bear the expenditure without a considerable increase of taxation. To my mind it is both unfair and illogical to tax the present generation for public improvements which will be of more benefit to posterity than they can be to existing taxpayers, and the only way of proceeding with these undertakings is by a loan, the Council having previously approved of the detailed estimates and designs as the case may be in respect of each of those works. I am sure that you will give me a patient hearing if I deal with this question at some length on the assumption that a loan must be contracted, and that with little delay.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH FEBRUARY, 1892. 155
Before doing so I would remark with regard to the proposed expenditure in 1892 that it is possible that a saving can be effected under item 9, improvement of the Recreation Ground. The lowering of Queen's Road West has been abandoned. The re-construction of Governor's residence at the Peak cannot be undertaken. The house is in a most dilapidated condition, and according to the report of the Surveyor-General practically unfit for occupation. It would be unsafe to attempt to repair it. Doubtless the Council will not object to a revote of a portion of the $10,000 voted for the repair of Mountain Lodge for the hire of a residence for the Governor and his family if necessary. As to the contemplated Gaol extension I have asked the Secretary of State to allow me to postpone it for a short time in the hope that more economical arrangements can be made than those which have been proposed. This matter is engaging my most anxious consideration, but no doubt a large expenditure for additional accommodation will be required. The revenue for 1892, owing to the diminution by $114,000 of the opium farm receipts, will be $2,030,178 instead of $2,144,178, and the ordinary expenditure $1,773,918, leaving an estimated surplus of $256,260. The balance of assets over liabilities is said to be $150,000, making, with that surplus, $406,260. The proposed expenditure for 1892 on public works extraordinary is $680,000, which may perhaps be reduced to $640,000. The total sum required for all the public works extraordinary in contemplation is say $2,680,000. Of this sum upwards of $900,000 was expended to the 31st December last, leaving a balance of $1,780,000 to be provided in 1892 and subsequent years. Assuming that $640,000 is spent during 1892 the surplus and assets amounting to $406,260 will be swallowed up and a further sum of over $233,000 will have to be found before the 31st of December, 1892. From the correspondence which took place previous to the loan of 1881 the Secretary of State for the Colonies is clearly averse to raising a fresh loan until there is no escape from that obligation. From a glance at the figures I have quoted it is evident that the time has arrived when this matter must be grappled with, and if these works are to be undertaken Government must be in a position to supply funds for their completion within the next three or four years. By the end of the year it is possible that the Colony will be in debt to the Crown Agents, it may be to the extent of $233,000. This sum the Crown Agents could borrow at a reasonable rate, provided that in the meantime an Ordinance was passed by the Council authorising the issue of a loan. If this could be arranged the raising of the loan might be postponed until the end of the year. Before that time arrives, however, it must be settled what amount will be required, what form the loan should take, whether it is to be raised by lump sum or by instalments, and whether it shall be a gold or a silver loan. As to the amount, you will see that if $640,000 is spent in 1892, the Colony will owe the Crown Agents $233,000, and there will remain a balance of $1,140,000 to be provided in 1893 and future years, making a total liability of some $1,373,000--say $1,400,000. This sum, (there or thereabouts,) may therefore be taken as the amount of the loan required; and the Ordinance should give power to borrow up to that amount. the form of the loan, the Government in my opinion cannot do better than issue it in the same way as the existing one, viz., by the sale of debentures, with a sinking fund sufficient to redeem in twenty years, with the option of paying it off at any time after five years. With regard to borrowing in a lump sum or by instalments, it is manifest that if the Colony could get equally good terms it would be desirable to adopt the latter alternative. In 1866-7 the Crown Agents borrowed $138,000 for the Colony in this way, at an average rate of 33 per cent., pending the issue of debentures. Application might be made at once to the Secretary of State as to the rate the Colony would have to pay for such temporary convenience. From the Colonial Hansard it appears that in 1886-7, and indeed much more recently, the question of a silver loan as against a gold loan was discussed. Unless silver can be borrowed on the same terms in regard to interest as gold, a gold loan would be more advantageous than a silver one. The Crown Agents have large gold payments to make for the Colony, and if a silver loan was raised the whole amount would have to be remitted to the Crown Agents in the course of two or three years, and the Colony would have to take the risk of an adverse exchange. If a gold loan is raised none of it need be remitted to England, as it might be absorbed in meeting gold payments at home, and the Colony would be relieved for a time of the cost of transferring money to England to meet the requirements of the Crown Agents. In such a case there could be no difficulty in meeting any objection that might arise in reference to the loan account not being kept distinct from the general financial transactions of the Colony. It would be simply "a matter of account," as it is called, and full information on the subject could be published every month or every quarter by the Treasurer, as the Council might desire. Judging from the state of the share market at home, a loan could be raised at home at 33 or 4 per cent. at the outside, whilst here it would cost at least 4 per cent. Had a silver loan been raised in 1888 in precisely the same form as the gold one, it would have cost the Colony up to September last $69,000 more than the remittances for the gold loan. The equivalent of the $1,400,000 which the Colony will most likely have to borrow is at the present time, at say 3s., equal to £210,000. Members of the Council will doubtless concur in the opinion that an Ordinance similar to that of 1886 (No. 10) should be introduced, authorising the borrowing of a sum not exceeding £210,000 at the end of
As to

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27?H FEBRUARY, 1892.
1892, or at any time after 30th June, 1892, should the state of the market be favourable. I have already stated that the estimated surplus of revenue over ordinary expenditure for 1892 will be about $256,260, and there appears no reason to doubt, notwithstanding the decrease in the opium revenue, that a similar amount will be available in future years, if the expenditure is carefully watched. It must not be forgotten that considerable additions to the revenue will be derived at no very distant date from the new Central Market and the depots for slaughtering cattle, so that looking to these and other sources of revenue, I do not think that by borrowing £210,000 a too heavy burden would be imposed upon the revenue of the Colony. That it should have fallen to my lot in my first address to the Council to suggest that it should consent to an increase of the public debt is to be regretted, but I cannot flinch from the responsibilities of my office, and I anticipate that the Council will be prepared to share this responsibility, as my views as to the necessity of such a course coincide with those of some of my predecessors, as well as those of several honourable members. The question is one of great urgency, however inadequately and imperfectly it may have been brought before you. In speaking of the loan I should say I have adopted throughout the use of round numbers, as being least confusing, and the amounts I have quoted must be regarded as approximate only. It would, in my opinion, be most satisfactory to the com- munity if a Committee were appointed to consider the subject fully and in all its bearings. Should the Council agree in that view, I would nominate the following gentlemen to be a Com- mittee for that purpose, feeling sure that they will readily place their valuable services at the disposal of the Government:-The Honourables the Registrar General, the Colonial Treasurer, C. P. CHATER, J. J. KESWICK, and T. H. WHITEHEAD. In order to assist them I would appoint the Clerk of Councils as Secretary, giving him authority to lay before the Committee any official papers and returns that may be called for or may tend to throw light on the financial position or the future prospects of the Colony. Before concluding I should like to say that, having regard to the history of the past, and notwithstanding the somewhat gloomy picture my financial statement presents, I have every confidence in the future of Hongkong. It is true that the Colony has passed and is passing through a period of severe depression, but there are distinctly favourable and promising indications of better times to come. I have been very much struck by the peaceful, sober, and industrious habits of the Chinese. I hope the leading members of that community fully understand that they and their compatriots will have in me a Governor, a friend, and a supporter in all their reasonable aspirations. It is my most anxious desire to see greater attention paid in our elementary and secondary schools to the teaching of the English language, and this matter I hope to take up before the end of the vacation. The establishment and recent extension of sugar refineries, dock accommodation, brick and cement and rope works are healthy signs, and indicate the advantages which would accrue to the population generally from a further encouragement of local industries. The community may rely upon my aid and assistance in fostering in every legitimate way the development of such enterprises. It will also be my endeavour to cultivate harmonious and friendly relations with the Government author- ities of the mainland of China, with which we are so closely connected geographically and commercially. I am afraid, gentlemen, that my remarks have been somewhat prolix, and that I may have been guilty of repetition, but the occasion is undoubtedly an important as well as an interesting one, and that must be my excuse if I have erred in those directions. I thank you for your forbearance, and in claiming your confidence and support I can honestly assert that during my tenure of office I shall try by every means in my power to promote as far as possible the well-being of the community, and to maintain the efficiency of the public service.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 91.
The following Report on the Junk Trade for 1891, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 25th instant, is published.
By Command,
W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.

No. 20.
H. O. No. 330 of 9th July,
1891.
HARBOUR DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 11th January, 1892.
SIR,-In continuation of former correspondence marginally noted, I have the
H. O. No. 342 of 15th July, honour to furnish herewith statistics of the junk trade.
1891.
I. E. O. No. 14 of 15th

October, 1891.
2. These remarks and statistics are not included in the "Annual Report" in which being a document usually for publication it might be considered inexpedient that they should appear.
tached to Memo. dated
3. The favourable geographical position of this Colony renders it a great distributing centre; the Extract from Table 7 at large trade focussing here reaches its terminal markets partly in coasting steamers 27th July, 1891, in and partly in junks. Of the 2,753 European constructed vessels visiting the port C.S.O. 1,474 of 1891. in 1890, fifteen hundred and twenty-eight or considerably more than half and this half nearly double the size in tonnage ship for ship of the other moiety were vessels visiting the port twelve times or less, i.e., craft bringing trade acting as feeders to the Colony not as distributing agents that necessary part being performed by the remaining 1,235 smaller vessels plying to the port more than 12 times in the year. In the same year 23,343 junks in foreign trade with a total tonnage of 1,786,038 (or roughly speaking half the figures shown in paragraph 3 of the Annual Report those quoted, there being the total in and out) assisted in the distribution of trade from this centre, taking the totals of the Report of 93 millions tons about two-thirds or 64 millions were the feeders and one- third or 34 millions the distributors assisted by 3 millions tons of junks. The European vessels being for the most part steamers of course carried by far the largest portion of the trade. The year 1890. was a bad one for the rice trade as was also 1891 and in the first named the number of small European steamers competing with junks became very marked and has not decreased.
4. In the year 1890, eight thousand two hundred and nineteen European constructed vessels with a total of 9,771,741 tons passed through the port giving employment to 46,686 junks aggregating 3,572,079 tons in foreign trade and 9,082 junks making up 332,473 tons in local trade, i.e., the ports of the island.
5. In 1891, the corresponding numbers are European vessels 8,707 measuring 10,279,043 tons or an increase of 488 ships with 507,302 tons and junks in foreign trade 45,403 with a total tonnage of 3,263,118 tons or a decrease in numbers of 1,283 junks representing 308,961 tons at the same time the junks in local trade run up to 11,930 equivalent to 463,537 tons or an increase over the previous year numbering 2,848 junks aggregating 131,064 tons. It is not credible that the increase of the local traffic satisfactorily accounts for the increased volume of trade and the decrease
of the foreign junk trade.

7. Special Permits are the monthly renewals of licences exempting the holders from reporting on each separate occasion of arriving taken out by licensed junks when in the waters of the Colony. Fishing junks under 100 piculs are further allowed to take these licences every six months only. The

average for the three years 1887-1889 inclusive, it will be seen, is licensed vessels 2,562, the revenue derived directly therefrom in licences $8,000.25 and in permits $597.75, a total of 8,598 out of a grand total of $19,720.
8. For the average of three years 1887 to 1889 inclusive and the years 1890 and 1891 the propor- tions are therefore as follows:-
'87-'89. '90. '91.
Licensed Junks.

Revenue for Do. Total Junk Revenue.
8,598 9,956 10,821.25
19,720 22,397.75 22,602.50
9. The proportion of revenue derived from unlicensed junks, therefore, it will be seen, by no means increases pro rata as that from licensed junks taking the years 1890 and 1891 as examples the tonnage returns also bear this out. It may be said as more junks are licensed there are fewer unlicensed ones to take out Anchorage Passes, Clearances, &c., but comparison of the years of 1889 and 1890 disposes of that theory.
10. In 1890, 285 more vessels were licensed than in 1889, the revenue increased $3,000, and the foreign junk trade rose 154,748 tons, and the local 49,103 directly, no doubt, due to an increase in European tonnage of 799,751 tons.
11. In 1891, with an increase of half a million tons, 355 more junks were licensed with a gain to the Treasury of $204.75, a decrease in the foreign junk trade of three hundred thousand tons and an increase in the local junk trade of 130,000 or a net loss of 170,000 tons, to say nothing of the money thereby put out of circulation.
12. That there was no loss to the carrying trade, of course, is patent rather a gain to steamers, but hitherto gain to both ships and junks has gone on side by side with profit to the Colonial Treasury from both; consolidating the earnings of one or other means proportionate loss to the revenue.
13. In the years under review the conditions have been the same; a steady increase in Ocean borne traffic, bad rice trade (taking the years through), and increasing competition from small steam vessels, but under ordinary circumstances the increase of the great source of supply the Ocean trade was sufficient to preserve the equilibrium. In the 3rd quarter of 1891, indeed as is shown in letter No. 529 dated 15th October, not alone was the rice trade good, but a fictitious impetus had been given to the junk trade by the quarrels of the Chinese Custom Houses, native and foreign.
14. In that quarter there is a loss as shown in the statement attached (Table V) of $28.75 though all conditions save the preventible one were favourable.
Tables III to VI.
15. Tables III to VI represent quarterly statements of the junk trade, the total amounts for 1890 and 1891 are respectively $22,559.50 and 22,700.00, the apparent discrepancy between that and the amounts heretofore given as the junk revenue for the years under review is accounted for by the fact that the collections from out-stations for December are only received four or five days after the end of each year and so are reckoned in the following year.
Table VII.
16. Table VII is the monthly comparative statement for December and also the yearly one for 1890 and 1891.
17. The only controllable causes of the depression of the junk trade are the suppression of the system of espionage established by the Chinese Customs in Hongkong, and the preservation of the neutrality of British waters.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH FEBRUARY, 1892.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 93.
The following Report of the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police for 1891, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 25th instant, is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th February, 1892.
No. 17.
W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.
POLICE DEPARTMENT,
CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE,
HONGKONG, 22nd January, 1892.
SIR, I have the honour to submit for the information of His Excellency the Governor the Police Report for the year 1891.
2. The total number of offences coming under the cognizance of the Police was 10,869, being an increase on the year 1890 of 2,445 cases, giving an increase of 29.02 per cent.
Subdivided into serious and minor offences (so-called) there were in 1891, 2,994 cases of the former class as against 3,100 cases in 1890, shewing a decrease of 106 or 3.41 per cent; and in the latter class 7,875 cases in 1891, as compared with 5,324 cases in 1890, giving an increase of 2,551 cases or 47.91 per cent.
3. This rather large increase is to be accounted for by the number of arrests made for "Unlicensed Hawking," "Uttering Street Cries" and contraventions of the "Markets Ordinance," the "Opium Ordinance" and the "Gambling Ordinance."
4. The European Force has been increased by 1 Sergeant and 4 Constables. The present strength of the Force is as under :-
Captain Superintendent,
Deputy
Clerks,
"}
Chief Inspector,
Inspectors,
Interpreters,
Chinese.
European. Indian.

5. Three new Police Stations were completed during the year, one at Aberdeen, one at Tsat-Tsye- Mui (Quarry Bay), and one at Kennedy Town. The latter has not yet been occupied by the Police in consequence of the non-completion of the new approach road.
6. Owing to the extent of the Police beats in the Hill District, one of the three standard Police Electric Alarms obtained from England in 1890, has been placed at the Magazine Gap, and connected with the Mount Gough Police Station, and I have recommended that the other two standards or "Call Points" be fixed, one at Mount Kellet Spur, and the other at Plantation Road.
7. In my Annual Report on the Government Fire Brigade for 1891, I have called attention to the disadvantages of the present system of overhead Electric Light wires in the city. From a Police point of view the disadvantages are equally great. On the occasion of a fire in Queen's Road Central on the morning of the 6th May, it was considered necessary, in order to prevent an accident to the firemen, to shut off the current, thereby placing a part of the city in darkness during the'confusion which more or less always occurs at fires; and again on the night of the storm, the 3rd December, just at a time the work of rescuing persons from boats alongside the Praya was going on, the Electric Light on Praya West failed in consequence of the lines being damaged by the masts of a junk.
I have the honour to be,
Honourable W. M. GOODMAN,
Acting Colonial Secretary,

SIR, I have the honour to forward, under this enclosure, the Annual Report of the Government Central School for Girls for 1891, presented by Mrs. BATEMAN, the Headmistress.
2. The examination of this School, conducted by myself, has shewn very satisfactory results, such as testify to the efficiency of the teaching given both by the Headmistress and by the Assistant Teacher, Mrs. LEUNG. I have found clear evidence of steady progress in the attainments of the children in almost every subject. The general tone of the School and the relations existing between the scholars and the teachers are highly commendable.
3. As to the suggestion made in the enclosed report regarding the appointment of an additional pupil-teacher which even now seems much needed, I will make a recommendation in a separate docu- ment as soon as the School re-assembles after the Chinese New Year's holidays, when it will be seen more clearly what addition to the staff will be required on account of increased attendance.
I have the honour to be,

REPORT, 1891.
GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.
SIR,-I have the honour to submit to you the Second Annual Report of the Government Central School for Girls, for the year 1891.
I.-Resume of the School's Aims and Progress.
This School was opened on 1st March, 1890, for the purpose of providing an ordinary middle class English education for the daughters of Eurasian, 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 (March, 1890) 34 pupils were enrolled, and at the end of December, 1890, there were 45 children in regular attendance.
The year
1891 closed with the number of 87 scholars on the register, showing an increase of more than 50 per cent. The regularity of the attendance is most satisfactory.
Subjoined is a list of the average attendance for January to December, 1891.-
January, .......39.3
March, .............56.5
April,
May,
......
October,............64
November,.........64.9
June,............59
July,....... .61
.52.5
August,.........58.5
December, ...69.39
?????
.55
September, ...51.4
The above numbers will speak for themselves of the rapid development of the School and that it evidently supplies a need of the Colony.
In August Miss WARD resigned her duties as Headmistress of the School, and the undersigned took her place on 1st September, 1891.
II.-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 Headmistress who is now assisted by a Pupil-
teacher.
The instruction given consists of Reading, Arithmetic, English Composition, Grammar and Analysis, Geography, Map Drawing, History and Needlework.
The Lower Division is in charge of the Chinese Assistant Mistress by whom they are taught English Reading, Writing, Arithmetic and Dictation.
The study of classical Chinese, which is taught by the Chinese teacher of the Headmistress, is optional.
III.--Suggested Improvements.
Should the number of pupils continue to increase as they have done during the past year, (and there is every probability that it will be so), the present building will be quite inadequate to accom- modate a larger number, the space at the present time being very limited.
The want of a play-ground is also a great drawback, as there is no means of giving physical exercises, this being almost indispensable in giving a healthy tone to the School.
The appointment of an additional pupil-teacher is desirable to assist the Chinese Mistress in the Lower School, as it is impossible for one person to give efficient teaching to so large a number.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
The Honourable W. M. GOODMAN,
Acting Colonial Secretary.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH FEBRUARY, 1892.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 95.
The following Report of the Acting Superintendent of Victoria Gaol for 1891, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 25th instant, is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th February, 1892.
W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.
No. 18.
SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE, VICTORIA GAOL,
HONGKONG, 22nd January, 1892.
SIR,-I have the honour to forward for His Excellency's information the Annual Report on the Prison for 1891.
2. I took over charge of the Prison from Major-General GORDON on the 1st April, on which date he proceeded to England on leave of absence.
3. The conduct of the Gaol Staff during the year has, with some exceptions, not been particularly good, but I hope with the engaging of some reliable men in England it may be improved in the
future.
4. There has been a decrease in the average number of prisoners confined in the Gaol, the number being 507 as compared with 566 in 1890.
This, however, has been accompanied by a large increase in the number of admissions, the numbers being 5,221 and 3,444 respectively, from which it may be inferred that the number of short sentence prisoners is increasing and the number of long sentence prisoners is decreasing.
The daily maximum for the year was 590.
5. During the year there were 25 prisoners sentenced for returning from banishment. In view of the frequency of these convictions I have laid it down that such prisoners are to be treated more severely than hitherto in the matter of hard labour, of course, consistently with the rules for the management of the Gaol.
6. Nothing has been done during the past year to introduce the separate system of confinement on a general plan.
It is, in the absence of flogging, the only effective system of imprisonment.
Extra room is required for officers'. quarters, in which no dining or recreation rooms are provided; the Warden should live in the Gaol, and the present arrangement of the Female Prison is in many ways a most objectionable one.
In the absence of proper yard accommodation the rules as to the classification and separation of prisoners cannot be carried out, while the general needs of the Prison as to store-rooms, &c., have not been sufficiently attended to.
With the present cramped space at command effective supervision is impossible.
7. During the year there have been 11,714 prison offences committed by a daily average of 507 prisoners, being over 23 offences by each prisoner as compared with 20 in 1890.
I append the usual comparative returns of the most common of those offences.
8. There has been an increase in industrial earnings during the year, the total being $4,248.55, as compared with $3,488.39 in 1890. The usual returns are appended.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
The Honourable W. M. GOODMAN,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
A. M. THOMSON, Acting Superintendent.

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.

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.

No. 8.
REGISTRY SUPREME COURT, HONGKONG, 7th January, 1892.
SIR, I have the honour to forward herewith the following annual returns :---
1. Return of all sums received as Revenue in the Registry of the Supreme Court during the
year 1891.
2. Same returns as compared with the receipts of 1890.
3. Indictments and Informations in the Supreme Court of Hongkong for the year 1891. 4. Return of Criminal cases that have been brought under the cognizance of the Supreme
Court during the last ten years.
5. Comparative table showing the number of offences, apprehensions, convictions, and
acquittals for the last four years.
6. Return of Criminal cases tried in the Supreme Court of Hongkong during the year 1891. 7. Return of Establishment.
From Returns 1 and 2 it will be seen that there is decrease in the Revenue of 1891 as compared with that of 1890 amounting to ...
The decrease has taken place chiefly in the following items of Revenue:--
A. Court fees (proper) paid by Stamps,.
...$4,056.16
This is owing to the fact that in 1890 140 Original Suits were entered and
1,813 Suminary Suits against 126 and 1,632 in 1891.
$ 986.07
B. Percentage received on Intestate Estate, this is always an uncertain item, ......$2,646.18
The fees in 1890.-In one Estate alone (that of Tam Yam Yim) realised
$2,985.14.
In 1891.--The largest sum received on one Estate was $1,282.50, the average
for the last five years is $2,010.
C. Bailiff's Fees,.
This decrease was caused by the smaller number of Suits entered.
D. Interest on Registrar balance at the Bank,
In 1890 there was on deposit at the Bank about $85,000. While in 1891
this amount has been about $20,000 less.
E. Under the item "Registrar of Companies" there is an increase of $675.50. 19 New Companies with a capital of $7,622,000 have been registered.
CRIMINAL RETURNS.
These show a large decrease in the number of cases tried in the Supreme Court.
The total number in 1891 was
Average for 1st year from 1882 to 1886,
Do. 2nd
There were two maiden Sessions.

VICTORIA COLLEGE,
HONGKONG, 16th February, 1892.
SIR,-I have the honour to forward the Annual Report on Victoria College for the
year 1891. 1. The total number of boys on the Roll of the College for the year was 1108. As 712 names were on the Roll in January, nearly 400 boys (including re-admissions) were admitted in the course of the year.
Of these, 269 were admitted after the Chinese New Year holidays; 39 after Tsing Ming; 57 after Mid-summer, together with 31 at various times. The number of school days is somewhat less than in 1890, the deficiency being chiefly accounted for, by the fact that three Easter holidays did not coincide with the Tsing Ming holidays, and that so many Chinese festivals did not happen to fall on Sundays.

3. ATTENDANCE.-In spite of the great anxiety, which the Chinese continue to evince for the admission of their boys into the College, there is strong statistical evidence for the belief that a large number desire only to make an experiment of the study of English. For example, of the 269 admitted at the Chinese New Year, 72 or more than one quarter had left within three months; while of the total number admitted in the year, no fewer than 27 boys were satisfied with an experience of less than 30 days, several not presenting themselves on more than four or five occasions. This must be attributed chiefly to the age of the students. Young men, of 17 years of age and upwards, find the discipline of an English College stricter, and the drudgery of elementary study more irksome than they anticipated; and they accordingly withdraw with more or less expedition.
4. LEAVE IN ADDITION TO HOLIDAYS.-We continue the old practice, of the past thirty years, of recognising Chinese social customs, and give leave to boys on the occasion of their own marriage, or to attend a brother's wedding, to celebrate a grandfather's sixty-first birthday, or to perform funeral rites, &c. I desire however to draw the attention of the public to the magnitude, to which this practice of leave-taking has attained, in the hope that Chinese parents will protect this indulgence from abuse. In the past year, without reckoning sick leave, 20 boys had each leave for one month, 33 for three weeks, 60 for a fortnight, and 72 for one week. It should also be noted that 90 such applications were granted in the last three months of the year; which period, while it is the most important for preparation for the Annual Examination, appears to be specially favoured for Chinese ceremonies.
5. ANNUAL EXAMINATION.-The Head Master holds an examination of all the boys in the College not only for prize purposes, but also to discover carefully the attainments of each boy that he may be assigned to a suitable place in the following year. The Inspector of Schools also holds an examination for the purposes of the Education Department. For the sake of the boys, the two examinations have been blended for the last ten years. Writing in 1886 Dr. EITEL says in his report.
"
"The system followed by me in examining the various classes of the Government Central School was virtually the same as that adopted in previous years, except that most of the papers set were proposed by the Head Master (for the purpose of determining the award of the annual prizes and scholarships of the school) and consequently the questions which the scholars had to answer at this "examination were of a more searching character than I would have thought necessary.
But previously in 1883 Dr. EITEL had written.
""
"The severity of the test applied lifts therefore the result of this examination beyond all comparison "with the results of the Grant-in-Aid examinations, even considering that at the latter examination "two thirds of the marks possible entitle to a pass, while at the Central School I passed at this "examination all who had made half marks.'
""
By comparing then these two Reports of the Inspector of Schools we discover that the severe test of 1883 had assumed a more searching character in 1886. If further we compare the Examination Questions of 1886 with those of 1892 there is manifest in the latter a higher standard in a very marked degree. There has thus been during the past ten years a continuous steady advance in the standard of education in this institution. The first examination that I held, in January, 1882, is by the novelty of the circumstances impressed indelibly upon my memory. I am therefore in a position to state with confidence that Class III B is the highest class of Victoria College the work of which at all reminds me of what was done in 1882 by Class I of the Central School. There are now there- fore 150 boys in this College doing work of a higher standard than the highest of 1882.
6. RESULTS OF ANNUAL PRIZE EXAMINATION.-Of 709 boys examined 640 or 90.26 per cent. passed. Returning as I did from Europe within six weeks of the examination, I feel that I can speak more freely of the impression produced on me by the work done in this competition for Prizes and promotion. The first thing that struck me was the general high tone, in neatness of work, excellent writing, and great advance in setting down Mathematical work in a clear form. Dictation continues to prove itself a stumbling block, though the results in half the classes were very creditable. English Composition, presented by 382 boys, was pleasing in its effect. The Grammar papers, 599 in number, shewed on the whole remarkable intelligence in grasping some of the chief difficulties in the English language. The paper on Shakespeare by Class I. A simply astonished me, as it appeared to me that the replies to more than one question necessitated personal observation of actors on the stage; on enquiry I found that this was precisely the case, they had had the great advantage of witnessing a representation of the play of "Hamlet" at the City Hall. The work of the Upper School was above the average; Classes I. A and II. A maintaining a remarkably high character of work, together with excellent percentages. In the Lower School Classes IV. A. IV. C and VI. A. turned out excellent, intelligent work. The results in the Preparatory School left nothing to be desired. It must not be supposed that the masters and scholars of the remaining classes are undeserving of praise; with rare exceptions the work of classes, which have been only fairly successful gives evidence of careful instruction and the inability of boys to avail themselves of it appears to be due to the forced pro- motions, which are the natural consequence of the introduction into the College of 400 new boys, in the course of the year.

7. PUPIL TEACHERS' EXAMINATION.-The Inspector of Schools set a very stiff paper on the Theory and History of Education. Two boys obtained three-quarters marks and none of the remain- ing four failed in this subject. Mr. JONES, the Assistant Master who was in charge of the Preparatory School with its Pupil Teachers and Monitors, wrote a very careful Report in which he shows the disadvantages under which these Juniors suffer, by the necessary promotion to acting appointments when their Seniors are absent on leave. As a novel feature this year, I may note that, at Mr. JONES' suggestion, the six Pupil Teachers and Monitors gave instruction in various subjects to a class in the presence of the Inspector of Schools. This year, one of the Monitors obtained the Stewart scholar- ship, the highest distinction in the College next to the Morrison Scholarship.
8. PUPIL TEACHERS' SYSTEM.-Pupil Teachers and Monitors continue to be employed in this, as in all other large schools and colleges. To secure the continued services of the same junior teachers, the Pupil Teachers have since 1887 been articled for a period of three years. It would be a mistake to suppose that they receive their appointments in order of the Prize Lists. As careful a system of selection is observed, as the circumstances of the case permit. Monitors are appointed by the Head Master, who immediately substitutes, if necessary, another boy better suited physically, or by natural disposition, to the science and art of teaching. After the experience of a year or more, the best of these monitors who is willing to be articled, is recommended for that purpose to the Government, Since the opening of Victoria College, considerable improvements have been made in the advantages enjoyed by the three Pupil Teachers and five Monitors. An English Master is appointed to supervise the four lowest classes of the College, which are under their charge, observing their method correcting their errors in teaching and advising them in their many difficulties. In addition to this, they receive, once a week, in the afternoon from this master, instruction on the theory, history and principles of Education. This system appears to me quite adequate for the requirements of the College, and though at present capable of considerable improvement and extension, it will, I am confident, in a few years, bring great credit to the Institution. Apart from any other consideration, the efficacy of the system is demonstrated by the efficiency of the Chinese Assistants who were thus trained, several of whom hold Oxford. or Cambridge Local Certificates.. That Chinese Assistants should vary in natural aptitude for teaching, and in their ability to pronounce English purely, is not surprising, as the same variety is observable in the masters of schools in England. The Central School on more than one occasion provided teachers for Government and other schools in the Colony, and I have received from the Inspector of Schools and others letters bearing quite flattering testimony to the excellence of the manner in which those young men discharged their duties. If Victoria College does not continue to provide teachers for Government Schools, the low salary offered, and the isolation of village and suburban schools are, as far as I am aware, the only causes. It cannot be expected that a boy, who can earn $40 a month in the city of Victoria, will allow himself to be exiled to Shau-ki-wan or Stanley for $25 a month.
9. NORMAL SCHOOL.-In 1879, the Government made the experiment of forming a Normal School in connexion with Wantsai Government School. It was closed in 1883 on my recommendation, as Acting Inspector of Schools, for the following reasons; (1) there was no probability of the Gov- ernment being able to redeem its promise of finding the pupils employment as teachers; (2) the number of pupils, reduced by sickness and desertion made the expense of the Institution dispropor- tionate; (3) an opportunity of joining the Medical College at Tientsin made the young men willing to terminate their agreements. Mr. MAY was very successful as Principal of the Normal School, and I have no doubt that, as Second Master of Victoria College, he will have equal success in training our Monitors and Pupil Teachers.
10. NON-CHINESE PUPIL TEACHERS.-As to the employment of English, Portuguese or Indian boys as Pupil Teachers, I have never observed in English or Portuguese boys the least sign of adaptability to the profession of teaching, and have only once found an Indian capable of holding the post, which he did to my entire satisfaction. Mr. ALARAKIA subsequently ranked as a Chinese Assistant, and had therefore to be competent to speak and write Chinese with ease.
11. DRILL.-Drill was introduced last September; but as only one Instructor was engaged for all the Schools in the Colony, only two and a half hours a week fell to the share of this College. The result was that the squads, often numbering 130 boys, were hopelessly unwieldy and it was impossible for the instructor to correct the individual error of so many boys. There is a general belief in the benefits accruing from this form of exercise, and a scheme has been approved to provide a separate instructor to give 12 hours a week to our 900 boys, which will afford half an hour's drill weekly for squads averaging 36 in number.
12. STAFF.-Mr. MAY was in charge of the College as Acting Head Master for ten months, until my return at the end of October. Mr. JAMESON returned from leave on May 8th, and Mr. DEALY left for Europe on twelve-months' leave from September 9th. Thus the staff was short of two English Masters at the same time for six months of the year. In addition to which the work of the College suffered through the illness of two English masters, one of whom was absent for over two months, the other for one month.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MARCH, 1892.
13. OXFORD LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.-Last July there were from this College, one Senior and thirteen Junior Candidates, the Senior Candidate passed, and three Juniors also received certificates. There would have been four more successes, but for failures in Shakespeare, which is naturally a stiff subject for Chinese boys, and is rendered doubly so by the short time (four months) available for its preparation.
14. CAREERS OF BOYS.-During the last twelve-months 96 boys from this College obtained situations; viz.: 4 in the Colonial Service; 9 in the Chinese Imperial Service, Customs and Telegraph; 40 in Mercantile and Professional Offices in Hongkong; and 43 at the Coast Ports, in Japan, and elsewhere.

His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to direct that the following despatch from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, with its enclosures, be published for general information.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 19th March, 1892.
CIRCULAR.
G. T. M. O'Brien, Colonial Secretary.
DOWNING STREET,
1st February, 1892.
SIR, I have the honour to transmit to you a copy of a letter from the Queen expressing Her Majesty's deep sense of the loyalty and affectionate sympathy evinced by Her subjects in every part of Her Empire on the sad occasion of the death of Her Grandson, His Royal Highness Prince ALBERT VICTOR, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, K.G., eldest son of Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales.
I have also the honour to enclose a copy of a telegram, dated Windsor Castle, the 20th of January, in which Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales express to Her Majesty's subjects, whether in the United Kingdom, in the Colonies, or in India, the sense of their deep gratitude for the universal feeling of sympathy manifested towards them on the sad occasion of the loss of their beloved eldest son.
I have no doubt that both these touching documents have been already published in the Colony under your Government, but I have thought it right that they should be communicated to you officially for record in the archives of the Colony.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble Servant,
The Officer Administering the Government of
HONGKONG.
KNUTSFORD.
Whitehall, January 27th, 1892.
The following letter from The Queen has been received by the Right Honourable the Secretary State for the Home Department :-
Osborne, January 26th, 1892.
I must once again give expression to my deep sense of the loyalty and affectionate sympathy evinced by my subjects in every part of my Empire on an occasion more sad and tragical than any but one which has befallen me and mine, as well as the Nation. The overwhelming misfortune of my dearly loved Grandson having been thus suddenly cut off in the flower of his age, full of promise for the future, amiable and gentle, and endearing himself to all, renders it hard for his sorely stricken Parents, his dear young Bride, and his fond Grandmother to bow in submission to the inscrutable decrees of Providence.
The sympathy of millions, which has been so touchingly and visibly expressed, is deeply gratifying at such a time, and I wish, both in my own name and that of my children, to express, from my heart, my warm gratitude to all.
These testimonies of sympathy with us, and appreciation of my dear Grandson, whom I loved as a Son, and whose devotion to me was as great as that of a Son, will be a help and consolation to me and mine in our affliction.
My bereavements during the last thirty years of my reign have indeed been heavy. Though the labours, anxieties, and responsibilities inseparable from my position have been great, yet it is my earnest prayer that God may continue to give me health and strength to work for the good and happiness of my dear Country and Empire while life lasts.
VICTORIA, R.I.
The following official telegram has been received from Sir FRANCIS KNOLLYS, at Windsor Castle :-
"The Prince and Princess of Wales are anxious to express to Her Majesty's subjects, whether in the United Kingdom, in the Colonies, or in India, the sense of their deep gratitude for the universal feeling of sympathy manifested towards them at a time when they are overpowered by the terrible calamity which they have sustained in the loss of their beloved eldest son.
"If sympathy at such a moment is of any avail, the remembrance that their grief has been shared by all classes will be a lasting consolation to their sorrowing hearts, and, if possible, will make them more than ever attached to their dear country."

PROCLAMATION.
By His Excellency Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.
Whereas by Ordinance No. 3 of 1862, intituled An Ordinance to authorise His Excellency the Governor by Proclamation to prohibit the Exportation of Military Stores and other Articles, as amended by Ordinance 3 of 1884 entitled An Ordinance to amend Ordinance 3 of 1862, it is enacted that it should be lawful for His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice of the Executive Council, by Proclamation to be published in the Fongkong Government Gazette, or in any Extraordinary Gazette to prohibit for such period as should be mentioned in such Proclamation, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coast wise within the said Colony (amongst other things) Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder and Military and Naval Stores, subject to any permission that may be obtained under the last mentioned Ordinance.
And whereas by Proclamation dated the 1st day of October, 1891, such exportation and carriage coastwise were prohibited for a period of Six months from the date thereof, and whereas I have determined, with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, that it is expedient to continue and extend such prohibition for the period hereinafter mentioned:
Now, therefore, 1, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, by and with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, do by this Proclamation prohibit for a further period of Six months from the 1st day of April, 1892, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony, Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Naval and Military Stores, unless this Procla- mation shall in the meantime be revoked, or unless permission shall have been obtained under Ordi- nance 3 of 1884.

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.

(3.) Every such declaration shall be made before some person duly authorised to administer an oath in the country where it is made and every person who shall knowingly make any untrue or false statement in any such declaration shall upon conviction be liable to the penalties of perjury.

6. In case Her Majesty shall, by the advice of the Judicial Committee of Her Majesty's Privy Council, extend the privileges of any Letters Patent in England for any invention for any period, it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to extend in like manner such Letters Patent if already granted for this Colony or otherwise to grant original Letters Patent for a like extended period for the same invention.

DOWNING STREET,
281
4th February, 1892.
SIR,--With reference to my Circular despatch of the 6th of February, 1891, respecting the termination on 30th June next of the Commercial Convention of 26th April, 1886, between Great Britain and Spain, I have the honour to transmit, for the information of the Colony under your Government, a copy of a translation of a Spanish Royal Order, issued from the Spanish Treasury on 13th January, respecting Customs duties on British Goods between 1st February and 30th June next, together with a copy of a translation of Article XII., relating to certificates of origin of a new Tariff approved on 31st December last.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble Servant,
The Officer Administering the Government of
HONGKONG.
KNUTSFORD.
(Translation.)
Royal Order.
CONSIDERING the inquiries which have been addressed to this Ministry with regard to the interpretation of Articles 1 and 6 of the Royal Decree of the 31st December last, as to the date on which the new Tariff is to come into force, and as to the duties which are to be charged on goods from countries whose Commercial Treaties with Spain terminate on the 30th June next;
And considering that England and the Netherlands continue to enjoy up to the 30th June next the benefits in general which are secured to them by their respective Treaties in addition to those contained in the Treaties concluded between Spain and Germany on the 12th July, 1883, and with France on the 6th February, 1882;
His Majesty the King, and in his name the Queen Regent, decrees:
1. That merchandize which enters the Customs lines of Spain, either by sea or land, until mid- night of the 31st of this month of January will enjoy the benefits of the Tariff now in force, inasmuch as the new Tariff does not come into force till the 1st February next.
2. In accordance with the above Article, the Custom-houses will reinain open until midnight in order to receive the manifests and way bills. On these documents will be entered carefully the hour at which they are presented, provided always that they conform with the Marine and Sanitary Regu- lations of the port of entry.
3. Merchandize of British or Dutch origin will continue to enjoy to the 30th June of the present year the benefits of the duties contained in the Tariffs, Letter (B), annexed to the Treaties of Com- merce and Navigation between Spain and Germany of the 12th July, 1883, and of France of the 6th February, 1882.
4. In order that the duties in those Tariffs (which were annexed to the Treaties for merchandize to which the said Tariffs refer) may be applied, it is necessary that a certificate of origin should be presented at the Custom-house, drawn up in the form laid down in Rule 12 of the new Tariff approved of by the Royal Order of the 31st December, 1891.
5. All British and Dutch goods not specified in the above Tariffs, Letter (B), annexed respectively to the French and German Treaties, will, up to the 30th July, 1892, pay duty in accordance with the second column of the new Tariff approved by the Royal Decree of the 31st December, 1891.
6. Goods of Finnish origin comprised in the Tariff, Letter (B), annexed to the Treaty of Com- merce and Navigation between Spain and Russia of the 2nd July, 1887, will, up to the 30th June of the present year, pay in accordance with the duties specified in the above Tariff, Letter (B), it being understood that, in order to enjoy this privilege, Finnish goods must be imported direct from Finland without transhipment on the voyage; no necessity of justifying their origin by means of a certificate being required.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND APRIL, 1892.
7. The Regulations referred to in Rule 8 of the Tariff of the 31st December last, as well as that at present in force, are those laid down in the Law of Commercial Relations with the Colonies of the 30th June, 1882, as well as in Article 13 of the Budget Law of the 29th June, 1887; and they are only of a temporary nature which will last until the treatment to which the foreign flag will be subjected in the trade and navigation between the Peninsula and the Colonies has been definitely settled.
8. For the carrying out of the preceding Regulations relative to British, Dutch, and Finnish goods the Custom-houses must refer to the official edition of the Tariff of the 31st December, 1889, which is still in force, and which contains the respective Treaties of Commerce.
By order of Her Majesty, I state this for your information and guidance.
Madrid, January 13, 1892.
To the Director-General of Indirect
Taxation.
I have, &c. (Signed)
CONCHA.
Certificates of Origin.
SPAIN.
Extract from Spanish Tariff of 1892.
FACULTY is reserved to the Minister of Finance to require the presentation of a certificate of origin in order that the duties in the second column of the Tariff, or those which may be subsequently settled with foreign nations, may be charged on their merchandize.
Certificates of origin will be drawn out in conformity with the following Rules:-
1. The certificate will consist of an official declaration made by the producer or manufacturer, or an authorized person on his behalf, before the local authority of the place of production or deposit in the producing State, that the merchandize to which the certificate refers is his manufacture or the produce of his industry. The Spanish Consuls for the districts concerned will legalize the signatures of said authorities, who may be, according to the Regulations of each country, the Mayor, the Chamber of Commerce and Navigation, the police authorities, Public Notaries, and also Directors of Customs.
2. The certificate will set forth the number, marks, enumeration, &c., gross weight of the packages, &c., the material or class of the merchandize, specifying definitely, as regards yarns and tissues, whether they are of cotton, hemp or flax, wool or silk, or a mixture of these materials.
*
3. The certificates can come drawn up in Spanish or French. When presented drawn up in other languages, they will be translated into Spanish, at the choice of the merchant, by sworn interpreters, by interpreting ship-brokers, by commercial brokers, by the boards of Agriculture, Industry, and Commerce of the locality, or by the Consuls of the countries to which the merchandize appertains.
The faculty for making translations is optional on the part of Boards of Agriculture, Industry, and Commerce, which are entitled, but not obliged, to do them.
4. When certificates are presented drawn up in the language of the country of origin and likewise in Spanish, the Spanish version will be treated as null, and the translation will be effected in the form above indicated.
5. Certificates of origin of Chinese and Japanese produce, especially destined for Spain, will be drawn up in Spanish at the Spanish Consulates in those countries, with the Consul's visa attached; and vessels carrying such produce can transfer it to other bottoms without prejudice to the benefits to which it may be entitled, so long as the transhipment be justified.
Should a merchant receive certificates wanting in the aforementioned formalities, he may return them, before clearing the goods, in order to have the omissions repaired, availing himself meanwhile of the time allowed for storage by the Customs Regulations, on the understanding that when clearance is asked for goods accompanied by a certificate, the latter is to be considered as definitively presented.
Custom-houses will admit certificates which fulfil the aforesaid conditions, passing over any accidental defect in the form in which they are drawn up.
If at any time the certificate should bear the impression of being of false character, it will be handed to the Tribunals to be dealt with accordingly.
Should certificates not be presented at the time of inspection, should they when presented not fulfil all requirements, or not tally with the merchandize to which they relate, they will be considered as null and void, the duties in the first column of the Tariff being applied to the merchandize,
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND APRIL, 1892.
283
Should differences exist between the gross weight of the packages described in the certificates and that arrived at on clearance, if such differences do not exceed a maximum of 20 per cent. beyond or short of what is stated on the certificates, the said documents will be admitted as effective; but they will be considered null when the differences are in excess of that rate, the duties in the first column of the Tariff being in such case applied to the merchandize.
Certificates issued in one country for the produce of another will likewise be considered null.
Merchandize from a Treaty nation destined for Spain and accompanied by the necessary certificate of origin, which may pass through another country also enjoying Treaty privileges, needs no justifica- tion for such transit; but when the transit takes place through a country having no Treaty the goods must be identified by a special certificate issued by the Spanish Consul or the foreign Custom-house of the locality.
Merchandize belonging to Treaty nations, and coming from them, will enjoy Treaty privileges, even if the vessels conveying it touch during their voyage at ports belonging to nations without a Treaty, engage in commercial operations there, or transfer to other bottoms the cargo destined for Spain.
To this effect merchandize must come consigned to Spain in the manifest prepared in the port of loading of the Treaty nation concerned. If afterwards it be transferred to another bottom, the Spanish Consul at the place, after taking cognizance of the proper documents, must enter on the manifest then prepared that the merchandize was loaded in a country having a Treaty, and is destined for Spain.
In addition to these formalities the certificate of origin must be exhibited, should the goods be such as to need one.
All articles, even if their origin be a country without Treaty, which have undergone, owing to industrial processes in one with which a Treaty exists, such transformation or manipulation as may raise their value, will enjoy the benefits extended to Treaty nations.
In order that merchandize requiring a certificate and intended for deposit may pay duty under the second column of the Tariff, the said document must be presented at the moment of clearance for consumption,

NOTICE.
G. T. M. O'BRIEN,
Colonial Secretary.
A Special Sessions of Her Majesty's Justices of the Peace will be held in the Justices' Room, at the Magistracy, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon on Thursday, the 7th April, A.D. 1892, for the purpose of considering an application from one ANTONIO FONSECA to sell and retail intoxicating liquors on the premises situate on Rural Building Lot No. 77, under the sign of "The Peak Hotel.'

Police Magistrate.

Should differences exist between the gross weight of the packages described in the certificates and that arrived at on clearance, if such differences do not exceed a maximum of 20 per cent. beyond or short of what is stated on the certificates, the said documents will be admitted as effective; but they will be considered null when the differences are in excess of that rate, the duties in the first column of the Tariff being in such case applied to the merchandize.
Certificates issued in one country for the produce of another will likewise be considered null.
Merchandize from a Treaty nation destined for Spain and accompanied by the necessary certificate of origin, which may pass through another country also enjoying Treaty privileges, needs no justifica- tion for such transit; but when the transit takes place through a country having no Treaty the goods must be identified by a special certificate issued by the Spanish Consul or the foreign Custom-house of the locality.
Merchandize belonging to Treaty nations, and coming from them, will enjoy Treaty privileges, even if the vessels conveying it touch during their voyage at ports belonging to nations without a Treaty, engage in commercial operations there, or transfer to other bottoms the cargo destined for Spain.
To this effect merchandize must come consigned to Spain in the manifest prepared in the port of loading of the Treaty nation concerned. If afterwards it be transferred to another bottom, the Spanish Consul at the place, after taking cognizance of the proper documents, must enter on the manifest then prepared that the merchandize was loaded in a country having a Treaty, and is destined for Spain.
In addition to these formalities the certificate of origin must be exhibited, should the goods be such as to need one.

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.

MR. JACKSON.
WHEREAS by "The Mail Ships Act, 1891" it is provided that where Her Majesty the Queen
has made a Convention with a foreign State respecting the postal service between such foreign State and the United Kingdom, or respecting the privileges of mail ships, that is to say, ships engaged in any postal service of such foreign State, or of any part of Her Majesty's dominions, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty in Council to order that the said Act shall, subject to any conditions, exceptions, and qualifications contained in the Order, apply during the continuance of the Order as regards such Convention and foreign State and the postal service and mail ships described in the Convention;
And whereas by section 8 of the said Act it is also provided that an Order in Council may for the purpose of a Convention with a foreign State apply the said Act, subject to any exceptions or modifications not inconsistent with the provisions of the said Act, to any British possession, and that the said Act when so applied should, subject to those exceptions and modifications, and subject as therein-after mentioned, have effect as if it were re-enacted, with the substitution of such British possession for the United Kingdom, provided that, before it should be applied to any British possession named in the Schedule to the said Act, the Government of such possession should have adhered to the Convention;
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH APRIL, 1892.
291
And whereas on the 30th day of August, 1890, a Convention was made at London between Her Majesty and the President of the French Republic respecting the postal service between France and French possessions and the United Kingdom and British possessions, the terms of which Convention are set forth in the Schedule to this Order ;
And whereas the ratifications of the said Convention were exchanged on the 23rd day of March, 1891;
And whereas the Governments of certain of the British possessions named in the Schedule to the said Act, namely, Newfoundland, Queensland, New Zealand, Cape of Good Hope, and Natal, have adhered to the said Convention;
And whereas it is expedient that "The Mail Ships Act, 1891," should apply as regards the said Convention and the French Republic and the postal service and mail ships described in the said Convention;
And whereas it is also expedient that the said Act should, for the purpose of the said Convention, apply to the above-mentioned British possessions, and also to all British possessions not named in the Schedule to the said Act, subject to the exceptions and modifications in this Order contained:
NOW, THEREFORE, Her Majesty, by virtue and in exercise of the powers in this behalf by "The Mail Ships Act, 1891," or otherwise in Her Majesty vested, is pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows :-

2. The said Act shall apply as regards any public ship of the French Republic when employed as a mail ship in the cases authorised by Article V. of the said Convention.
3. The said Act shall for the purpose of the said Convention apply to the following British possessions, namely, Newfoundland, Queensland, New Zealand, Cape of Good Hope, and Natal, and also to every British possession not named in the Schedule to the said Act, subject, however, to the provisions of section 8 of the said Act, and also to the exceptions and modifications following, that is to say:

The expression "officer of Customs" shall mean an officer of the Customs Department of the possession, or, where there is no such Department, an officer or one of the officers appointed for the purposes of the said Act by the Governor in Council, of which appointment notice shall be published in the Gazette of the possession. (ii.) The provisions of the said Act as to the amount of fines shall, in possessions having a
dollar or rupee currency,
be read as if the amounts were stated in dollars or rupees, as the case may be, at the rate of 5 dollars or 10 rupees to the pound sterling. In Gibraltar the said provisions shall be read as if the amounts were stated in pesetas, at the rate of 25 pesetas to the pound sterling.
(iii.) In lieu of subsections (1) and (2) of section 7 of the said Act the following provisions shall be substituted, that is to say: Every offence may be prosecuted and every fine may be recovered by action or other legal proceeding in any Court of the possession competent to impose fines, but any fine imposed by a Court of inferior or limited jurisdiction shall not exceed either the amount authorised by the said Act and this Order, or the amount of fine which the Court may impose in the exercise of its ordinary jurisdiction, whichever of the said amounts shall be the less; and there shall be the same right of appeal (if any) against any such fine as in other cases of fines imposed by the same Court in the exercise of its ordinary jurisdiction; and every Court, whether of original or appellate jurisdiction, may reduce the amount of any fine. (iv.) The regulations required to be made under subsection (4) of section 7 of the said Act, by the Commissioners of Customs with the consent of the Treasury, shall in the possession be made by the Governor in Council.
Section 5 of the said Act, so far as relates to the Commissioners of Customs, shall not
apply in the possession.
4. This Order may be cited as "The Mail Ships (France) Order in Council, 1892.'

[Ratifications exchanged at London, March 23, 1891.]
HER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the President of the French Republic, alike animated with the desire to fix the special treatment to be accorded to British packets in the ports of France and of the French Colonies and Possessions and to French packets in the ports of the United Kingdom and of the British Colonies an Possessions, and availing themselves of the right reserved to the Contracting Parties by the Convention of the Universal Postal Union, have resolved to conclude a Convention to that end, and have named for their Plenipotentiaries:
Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Right Honour- able Robert Arthur Talbot Gascoyne Cecil, Marquis of Salisbury, Earl of Salisbury, Viscount Cran- borne, Baron Cecil, Peer of the United Kingdom, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Member of Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, &c.;
And the President of the French Republic, M. William Henri Waddington, Senator, Member of the Institute, &c., Ambassador of the French Republic to Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India :
Who have agreed upon the following Articles :-
ARTICLE I.
Between the Postal Administration of France and the Postal Administration of Great Britain there shall be a regular exchange of correspondence of all kinds, which shall be effected by means of two steam-packet services which shall continue to be maintained or subsidized, the one by the French Government and the other by the British Government, on the line between Calais and Dover.
The French Postal Administration and the British Postal Administration shall regulate, by common consent and in accordance with the mutual interests of both countries, the days and hours of departure and arrival of the subsidized packets.
ARTICLE II.
Independently of the correspondence which shall be exchanged between the Postal Administra- tions of the two countries by the means indicated in the preceding Article, those Administrations may reciprocally forward from one to the other correspondence of all kinds by the several means herein- after mentioned, namely: (1) by such packets as the French Government and the British Government may, respectively think it right to maintain, to freight, or to subsidize, for the conveyance of corres- pondence; (2) by merchant-ships plying between French ports and British ports.
ARTICLE III.
The commanders of British and French merchant-ships sailing from the ports of France or Algeria for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, on the one part, and the commanders of British and French merchant-ships sailing from the ports of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for France or Algeria, on the other part, shall be bound to take charge of the mails which the post-offices at the ports of departure may have to deliver to them.
ARTICLE IV.
The charges for the sea conveyance of correspondence exchanged between the French Postal Administration and the British Postal Administration by means of non-contract merchant-ships shall be paid to the commanders or owners of those vessels by the Postal Administration of the country of origin, namely:-
1. At the rate of 5 fr. per kilog. of letters and post-cards;
2. At the rate of 50 centimes per kilog. of other articles.
ARTICLE V.
When the packets employed by the French Postal Administration and by the British Postal Administration are national vessels owned by the State, or vessels belonging to Companies subsidized for the execution of postal service, such packets cannot be diverted from their destination nor be liable to seizure, embargo, or "Arret de Prince.'
"}
Passengers on such packets, who may not desire to go on shore during the vessel's stay in a port of either State, cannot be on any account taken from on board.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH APRIL, 1892.
293
Nevertheless, the local authorities may claim the expulsion from on board of persons wanted in pursuance of a regular warrant for any crimes or offences who may have taken refuge or embarked in mail-boats, and, in case of necessity, searches may be carried out on board such vessels by the competent authorities. The individuals in question shall then be handed over to them.
It is, however, agreed that the authorities cannot proceed on board unless they have previously given notice, at least one hour before the search, to the Consulate or Vice-Consulate, in order that the Consul or Vice-Consul, or his delegate, may be present at the searches in question. The letter giving notice shall be addressed to the Consul or Vice-Consul, and shall state the exact hour, and if the Agents neglect either to appear in person or to be represented, the proceedings shall go on in their absence.
The execution of such measures shall not delay the departure of the vessel for more than an hour after the time of departure fixed in the time-tables of the Company, which must be duly communicated by the respective Companies to the authorities of each port of call.
The present Article shall not apply to packets intrusted with a mail service and belonging to Companies subsidized by either State, until a bond has been entered into, once for all, by the said Companies to satisfy, after due hearing and definite decision, the legal consequences of any liability incurred either by the captains of their packets or by the Companies themselves.
the
The aforesaid bond must be guaranteed by a security within the jurisdiction of the Tribunals of country in which the bond may have been entered into.
ARTICLE VI.
The packets of the two Administrations shall be at liberty to take on board, or land at the ports of the two countries at which they touch, whether regularly or accidentally, specie and gold and silver bullion, as well as passengers, of whatever nation they may be, with their wearing apparel or baggage, on condition that the captains of those packets shall submit to the Sanitary, Police, and Customs Regulations of those ports concerning the arrival and departure of travellers and mer- chandize.
ARTICLE VII.
The packets of the two Administrations may enter and leave the ports of the two States at any hour of the day or night. They may also, if they think proper, without anchoring, embark or disembark the mails and passengers, in the roads or at the entrance of the harbours, so long as they' observe the Regulations referred to in the preceding Article.
ARTICLE VIII.
Whenever a packet carrying mails shall be compelled to put into any port of either of the two States other than that at which such packet ought to touch, the Administration on whose territory the said mails shall be landed shall use the most certain and expeditious means of forwarding them to their destination.
ARTICLE IX.
In case of war between the two nations, the packets of the two Administrations shall continue their navigation, without impediment or molestation, until a notification is made on the part of either of the two Governments of the discontinuance of postal communications; in which case they shall be permitted to return freely, and under special protection, to their respective ports.
ARTICLE X.
The captains of the packets engaged in the conveyance of the respective mails of the two Admi- nistrations are forbidden to take charge of any letter not included in those mails, with the exception, however, of despatches of their Governments. They must take care that no letters are conveyed illegally by the crews or passengers, and they must give information in the proper quarter of any infringement which may be committed in this respect.
ARTICLE XI.
There shall be reserved in the vans, carriages, or trucks conveying between Modane and Calais the mails from the East Indies for Great Britain, or from Great Britain for the East Indies, a place free of charge for a British courier, who shall keep the said mails under his special care, and who shall have the right to be present at the disinfection of the correspondence contained in those mails whenever it shall take place, and at all other operations to which the said correspondence may be subjected.
The same advantages shall be granted in the territory of Great Britain to the couriers of the French Postal Administration, should that Administration think proper to send a French courier in charge of mails containing correspondence from or for France passing through Great Britain and paid for at special transit rates.
294
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH APRIL, 1892.
ARTICLE XII.
The British Postal Administration and the Postal Administration of France shall nominate, by mutual consent, the offices through which the exchange of correspondence shall respectively take place. They shall also determine the direction of the correspondence reciprocally transmitted, and shall settle the arrangements relating to the preparation and liquidation of the accounts arising out of the reciprocal transmission of correspondence, as well as every other matter of detail or arrangement necessary to insure the execution of the stipulations contained in the present Convention.
It is understood that the measures above alluded to may be modified by the two Administrations whenever those Administrations recognize, by mutual consent, the necessity for modification.
ARTICLE XIII.
The Postal Administrations of the two countries are authorized to determine, by mutual consent, the conditions of the conveyance, by French services, of the mails to or from British Colonies not comprised in the Postal Union, as well as the conditions of the conveyance, by British services, of the mails of French origin destined for those Colonies, or passing in transit through their territories.
The same Administrations may also fix, by mutual consent, the rates of postage applicable to correspondence exchanged between France and French Colonies on one side, and British Colonies not comprised in the Postal Union on the other side.

REPORT.
MARKETS.
Central.-A temporary erection situated on the Praya containing 160 stalls most of which are let. In this market are sold the following articles, viz. :-beef, mutton, pork, fresh and salt fish, vegetables, fruit, poultry, and sundries, as bean curd, salt ducks, groceries, &c.
A market watchman is stationed here whose duty it is to superintend the cleansing of the market, to keep any records which may be considered necessary, and to report any infringement of the bye-laws to the Inspector of Markets. His hours of duty are from 6 A.M. to 5 P.M. daily, Sundays excepted, and with the usual half-holiday on Saturday. Water is laid on for the purpose of cleansing the market.
Western.─ Situated at the back of the Harbour Office, containing 153 stalls of which only two are vacant. Beef, pork, poultry, vegetables, fruit, fresh and salt fish, and sundries are sold here. This market is admirably situated for the purpose and serves a densely populated district. A market watchman is stationed here whose duties and hours are the same as at the Central Market. Water is now laid on.
Taipingshan.--Situate at the top of East Street, contains 74 stalls in three sections of which nearly all in one section are vacant. Beef, pork, poultry, vegetables, fresh and salt fish, and sundries are sold here. No watchman. Water is laid on.
Saiyingpoon.-Situate at the corner of Second and Centre Streets. It supplies the whole of the Saiyingpoon Health District, is well placed, stalls are in great demand, and it might usefully be enlarged. Five stalls out of 68 are vacant and these are badly situated. Beef, pork, poultry, vegetables, fresh and salt fish, and sundries are sold here. No market watchman. Water is now laid on.
Shektongsui.-This market contains 30 stalls of which number half only are rented, this is pro- bably due in a great measure to the thinness of the population in this district. Beef, pork, poultry, vegetables, fresh and salt fish, and sundries are sold here. No market watchman. There is no water supply in this market at present, but a hydrant is fixed just outside which answers every purpose.
Wanchai.-Situate in Queen's Road East near No. 3 Police Station. In this market are 51 stalls, 14 being vacant, probably due to the number of hawkers in the district. Beef, pork, poultry, vege- tables, fresh and salt fish, and sundries are sold here. The building is well situated and in good con- dition. No watchman. Water is now laid on.
Sokonpoo.Situate at the eastern end of Jardine's Bazaar, has 41 stalls of which number 18 are vacant, due no doubt to the thinness of the population in this district. Beef, pork, poultry, vegetables, fresh and salt fish, and sundries are sold here. No watchman. Water is laid on.
Shaukiwan.-Situate at the western end of the village, contains 30 stalls with one unlet. Beef, pork, poultry, vegetables, fresh and salt fish are sold here. This market might be usefully extended to 60 stalls. No watchman.
Yaumati.-Situate away from the sea, on the south side of the Police Station. This market has 76 stalls, 33 of these being vacant, probably due to the number of hawkers and squatters in the neigh- bourhood. Beef, pork, poultry, vegetables, fruit, fresh and salt fish, and sundries are sold here. There is no market watchman. Water is laid on.
Hunghom.--Situate in the main street of the village, contains 56 stalls of which number four are vacant, probably on account of thinness of population. Beef, pork, poultry, fresh and salt fish, vege
No watchman. tables, fruit and sundries are sold here. It is a new building and in good condition.
A supply of water is laid on.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH APRIL, 1892.
Remarks.-A staff of thirty-six coolies attend to the cleansing of the various markets, a certain number being stationed at each place and they are changed as occasion requires. All the principal markets are inspected twice or thrice daily, and those situated beyond the limits of the City as often as possible, but not less than two or three times per week. The markets are regulated by Ordinance No. 17 of 1887, and by rules and regulations under the Ordinance published in the Gazette dated 25th June, 1887. During the past year there have been 307 convictions at the Police Court for breaches of these regulations, most of the cases being from the Central, Western, and Saiyingpoon districts.
SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
Victoria.-One slaughter house suffices to serve the whole City, and it is situated at the extreme western end of Queen's Road. It is an old building, far too small and inconvenient for present pur- poses and a new one is in course of construction at Kennedy Town. Two watchmen are stationed here, one is on duty from 6 A.M. to 6 P.M., the other from 6 P.M. to 6 A.M.
Their duties are to prevent the slaughtering of sheep and cattle unless bearing the official mark, to see all animals entering the slaughter house, and to report any infringement of the bye-laws to the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon. The hours of duty as at present laid down for these men are much too long and a third one should be appointed, giving them cight hours each instead of twelve. A supply of water is laid on.
The pre- mises are kept clean by the lessee. The number of animals killed during the past year is as follows:-
Cattle. 18,218
Sheep. 9,673
Swine. 122,942
A
Shaukiwan.-The present slaughter house is a shed erected near the stream at the entrance of the village and is unsuited to the purpose for which it is used. The attention of the Board was called to this matter in my annual report of 1890. No watchman. The daily average of animals killed is 14 swine only.
Yaumati. Situate in a back street in the centre of the village, is the ground-floor of a Chinese dwelling house. I am pleased to say that a new one is being constructed midway between this village and Hunghom to serve for both. There is no watchman stationed here at present, but, upon the completion of the new building, I hope to see one appointed. The daily average of animals killed is 7 cattle and 12 swine, but I am under the impression that a large number of the latter are killed in private dwelling-houses both at this place and Shaukiwan.
ANIMAL DEPOTS.
Government Cattle Depot.-Situate at Kennedy Town, is a particularly suitable building for the housing of cattle and with the extension is capable of holding 480 animals. A watchman is stationed at the depot from 6 A.M. to 5 P.M. daily, Sundays excepted, and with the usual half holiday on Saturday. The number of cattle entering the depot during the present year was 15,265, the number rejected as unfit for use being 806.
Cheong Hing Cattle Depot.-This is a small private place totally unfit for the purpose for which it is used and will be no doubt done away with upon the completion of the extension of the Govern- ment depot.
Sheep Depots.-The sheep up to the present time have always been housed in private depots which are situated in various parts of the City, these places being as a rule the ground-floor of a Chinese dwelling-house. They are, of course, very unsuitable places and I am glad to say that permanent depots for the reception of sheep are now being constructed by the Government to be conducted upon the same principle as the cattle depot. These premises are inspected daily.
Swine Depots.-The swine are housed in private depots which are situated on the Praya near to the Sailors' Home. They are inspected daily. A swine depot is being constructed by the Govern- ment at Kennedy Town and will supply a long-felt want.
Remarks. The slaughter house and animal depots are regulated by the provisions of Ordinance No. 17 of 1887, and the rules and regulations made thereunder. During the past year there have been no serious cases of disease in any of the depots. Since the year 1887, the number of cattle im- ported for slaughter has increased by nearly 25 per cent, and the number of swine by about 20 per cent. I am about to forward to the Board a special report upon the importation of dead meat into the Colony and shall then take that opportunity to express my views upon a complete system of in- spection to regulate the meat supply as applied to the importation of animals whether alive or dead.
Staff-There was a considerable amount of sickness amongst the members of my staff during the past year, and I regret to say that Inspector RAE, who was admitted into the ?ivil Hospital on October 3rd last, is still a patient of that institution. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for the very able manner in which he has always carried out his duties and trust soon to see him return to them. During the absence of Inspector RAE, Inspector FISHER has been acting in his stead and very great credit is due to him for the energetic way in which he has performed his work. My thanks are also due to Police Inspector HANSON, at Yaumati, who has rendered signal service by the prompt action taken when detecting cases of importation of diseased animals into the Colony.

The following letter, with enclosure, from the Inspector of Schools, reporting the result of the examination of the Grant-in-Aid Schools, is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 16th April, 1892.
G. T. M. O'Brien,

No. 13.
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 9th February, 1892.
SIR,-I have the honour to forward under this enclosure the usual tabulated Summary of the amounts earned, during the year 1891, by those Public Schools which are under the Grant-in-Aid Code (1883), and I beg to recommend that the account contained in this Summary be audited as usual and that, if the account is found correct, a warrant be issued authorizing the Colonial Treasurer to pay to the Managers and Teachers concerned the sums to which they are respectively entitled and which amount in the aggregate to $22,576.97.
2. The afore mentioned sum is what the Grant-in-Aid Code of 1883 entitles the Managers and Teachers of 81 Schools, with an enrolment of 5,132 scholars, to claim on the basis of the examinations conducted in accordance with the Code. In the preceding year (1890), 76 Schools, with an enrol- ment of 4,656 scholars, earned under the same regulations the sum of $22,015.46 which had to be subjected, however, to a pro rata reduction of 10.5 per cent. as the sum nominally earned exceeded the amount of the Educational Vote available by $2,265.16. The increase in the amount $22,576.97 earned in 1891, as compared with that of the preceding year $22,015.46, amounts to $561.51 and is to be accounted for by the increase which has taken place in the number of Schools (6) and scholars (476). There is no need for a reduction in the present case as the Educational Vote for the present year ($24,000), after providing for other contingencies, leaves available for the purposes of the Grant- in-Aid Code the sum of $23,700.80, so that after paying the Grants now applied for, there will be a surplus of $1,123 lapsing into the Treasury.
3. Details, as to the manner in which the above mentioned Schools have earned this Grant and as to the results of the annual examinations which they have undergone, will be given in my Annual Report on Education and in the Tables appended to it. But I may here mention the fact that this public grant of $23,700 covers only a portion (about three-sevenths) of the actual expenditure of the
schools concerned.
4. I now beg to recommend that the enclosed accounts be audited and that, on their being found correct, a warrant be issued for the payment, by the Colonial Treasury, of the sum of $22,576.97 as Grants-in-Aid for the year 1891.
5. It has been customary since 1884, for the Education Department to supply the Colonial Treasury with a detailed list of the payees and of the amounts due under the provisions of the Grant- in-Aid ?ode to the respective Managers and Teachers to whom warrants in accordance with the enclosed accounts will be forwarded. These warrants are then paid on presentation at the Treasury and retained there as Vouchers of the payments thus made. This mode of payment has all along worked satis- factorily and I propose to follow the same plan in the present case.
I have the honour to be,
The Honourable W. M. GOODMAN,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
$
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
E. J. EITEL, Inspector of Schools.

(2.) With reference to the grant of $3,000 for Protestant Chaplains, &c., for 1892, voted by the Council in November-December, 1891, will the Government inform the Council, if the Secretary of State has approved of the vote, or any portion of it, if so how much, how is the money to be divided, and what is the principle on which the division is to be made. (3.) With reference to the Memorial and Petition of Bankers, Merchants, Brokers, Traders, and others carrying on business in the Colony of Hongkong, addressed to the Right Honourable Lord Knutsford, Secretary of State for the Colonies, in connection with the Bill entitled "An Ordinance to amend the Law in respect of the sale of Shares in Com- panies registered under the Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1886, and in other Joint Stock Companies," will the Government lay on the table a copy of any reply thereto, which may have been received.

The Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD gave notice that at the next meeting of Council he would move the following resolution, viz. :-
That in consequence of the constantly increasing cost of the Administrative Staff of the Govern- ment of Hongkong, it having risen from $547,650 in 1887, to nearly $800,000 in 1892, exclusive of $65,200 for pensions, and that the Colony's Revenue in the near future is more likely to decrease than expand, Government appoint a Commission selected from the Un- Official Members of Councils, and the general community, with the Honourable Mr. O'Brien, the Colonial Secretary, as Chairman, with full powers to enquire into and report with a view to retrenchment on the working of all the Departments of the Government, and as 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., &c. The Honourable C. P. CHATER gave notice that at next meeting of Council he would ask the following question :---
Will the Government lay upon the table a copy of any reply received to the petitions addressed to the Secretary of State for the Colonies by European and Chinese Bankers, Merchants, Shipowners and Traders residing in the Colony, praying for the repeal of the Ordinance to restrict the Loading and Unloading of cargo on Sunday in the Waters of the Colony.
The Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD asked the following question :-
Referring to Dr. Eitel's report on the Government Central School for Girls and to the Statement therein, that the Government were about to appropriate a site for a new School, will the Government lay upon the table any papers or correspondence on the subject, and state if the Government intend to take the opinion of this Council on the subject before making any appropriation either in money or land in connection therewith.

The following Report from the Registrar General for 1891, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 25th ultimo, is published.
By Command,
G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 7th May, 1892.
Registrar GENERAL'S OFFICE,
HONGKONG, 2nd April, 1892.
SIR,-In accordance with the instructions of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, contained in Despatch No. 296 of 1890, to the effect that the Registrar General should furnish an annual report on the work of his department in general and on the Women and Girls' Protection Ordinance in particular, I have the honour to forward herewith my report for the year 1891.
I have had some difficulty in drawing up this report, for, not to speak of the multifarious nature of the duties which this department has to perform, regular annual reports, which might have served as models to be followed on this occasion, were not made by any of my predecessors in office. The absence of such reports explains why it has been necessary, even at the risk of being tedious, to discuss in detail matters, which might have been treated more generally, had they been annually reported on in the same manner as have been the affairs of other departments.
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.
The cost of the establishment of the Registrar General in 1891 was $22,765.79. The Revenue collected by the Department amounted to $76,177.11. A comparative statement of the Revenue of this Department for the years 1890 and 1891 together with a detailed statement of the revenue derived from boats and markets is contained in Table I. From this statement, it will be seen that the total Revenue for 1891 was $76,177.11 as compared with $69,038.58 in 1890, showing an increase last year of $7,138.53. The chief increase was in the revenue derived from the markets, the rents for 1891 showing an increase of $9,354.33 over those for 1890, which is chiefly due to the general rise made in the rents of the market holdings at the end of 1890. The large decrease, $3,557, in the revenue received from hawkers is more apparent than real, being due to a change made in the system of collecting the fees for hawkers' licences. On the 1st October, 1890, hawkers who took out licences had to pay a year's fees in advance instead of a quarterly fee as formerly, so that the year 1890 was credited with these yearly fees in addition to the fees for the three quarters previous to October, when the new system came into force. The number of hawkers' licences issued in 1890 was 2,267, and in 1891, 2,171, so that there is only a difference between the two years of 96 licences, representing fees to the amount of $192, the yearly fee being $2 for each licence. The total number of licences of various kinds issued during the year 1891 was 6,770 as compared with 6,530 in 1890. The holders of almost all licences have to find security, and it requires a considerable amount of time and labour to make the necessary enquiries regarding the sureties to complete the usual bonds.
WOMEN AND GIRLS' PROTECTION ORDINANCE (11 of 1890).
I am glad to be able to report that The Women and Girls' Protection Ordinance, which came into force on the 1st of April, 1891, has proved successful and has justified the anticipations formed regarding the effect which it would have in helping to check the evils with which it is specially concerned. Under Part I., which deals with the abduction, selling, pledging, &c. of women and girls for the purpose of emigra- tion, &c., 20 prosecutions were instituted involving 25 persons (see Table II). In these cases 5 of the defendants were discharged, 3 were called upon to find security, and 17 were found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment for various terms varying from one month to four years, the latter sentence being passed in a case before the Supreme Court.
The number of prosecutions might have been larger had it not been for the difficulties in the way of procuring evidence, owing to the unwillingness of many of the women and girls in the first instance to state the true facts of their case, through fear of those under whose power they had been. In many cases the truth is ascertained only after the woman or girl has been detained for some time, and has come to realise that she has no need to be afraid of the consequences if she speaks the truth, and that it is to her interest to do so. In this way, though the women and girls are rescued, persons, who ought

to be punished, succeed in escaping justice, as the truth is often elicited too late to be able to effect their arrest. It is not easy to see how this can be remedied without the powers under the Ordinance, which are already very extensive, being still further extended to meet cases where there is a moral certainty, but no legal proof of persons being guilty of the offences dealt with under Part I. of the Ordinance.
The provisions of Part II. of the Ordinance, which, in the event of those persons who have the control or custody of women and girls not being able to find security when called upon to do so, confer on the Registrar General the power of detention in all cases where he has reason to believe such women and girls have been brought into the Colony for immoral purposes or for purposes of emigration, or who are from fear or ignorance unwilling or unable to disclose the true circumstances of their case, have been found to work well in practice. Under this portion of the Ordinance no fewer than 330 women and girls were detained. Of this number 5 died, and 36 were still under the care of the Po Leung Kuk, or Society for the Protection of Women and Children, at the end of the year. The remaining 289 were dealt with as follows:-

Those who are represented as having left were in many cases either women or girls who, after having been detained when applying for registration, were found to be unwilling to abandon their mode of life. Sixty-five may seem a somewhat large number, but it must be remembered that the difficulties in the way of rescuing women and girls are very great, and, even when they have an opportunity of escaping from the clutches of those who regard them as chattels, they are not always ready to avail themselves of it. All the girls rescued under the Ordinance were taken care of by the Committee of the Po Leung Kuk, pending enquiries regarding them or their relatives. Indeed, it is to a great extent owing to the exertions of the gentlemen who constitute that Committee that so many women have been rescued and comfortably settled in life. They have worked most zealously in co-operation with this Department and have been unceasing in their endeavours to suppress the evil practices with which the Ordinance under review deals. Every precaution is taken by them and by myself to secure the welfare of all women and girls who come under our care. In the case of marriages, of
which there were 52, and of adoptions, of which there were 9, during the year, no marriage or adoption is allowed to take place until the person who wishes to marry or adopt a girl has found a proper security, approved by the Committee and by myself, who has to enter into a bond safe-guarding the interests of the girl. No girl is allowed to be married except as a first wife, and then only after I have ascertained by personal interrogation that she is willing to marry and that the man is in a position to maintain a wife. As to women and girls who are restored to their relations or sent home to China, due precautions are taken to prevent any abuses arising in such cases, and no woman or girl is handed over before every enquiry has been made as to the bona fides and respectability of the parties concerned and before the girl's own wishes have been consulted. In cases where there is the least doubt, a bond is required, under which the production of the girl can be demanded when necessary. Without the assistance of the Po Leung Kuk, this work of restoring women and girls to their parents or relatives could not be carried on so effectively. The Committee of that Society, being as a rule composed of natives of China, with relations and connections in that country, is in a position to inake enquiries which could not be conducted by officers of the Government unless through the Consul-General at Canton. This would involve unnecessary delay, and would most probably be very unsatisfactory in its results, to judge from the cases which have been referred through the usual official channel to the Chinese Government at Canton. In addition to the women and girls already referred to, there are a number of girls whose proper up bringing has been secured by bonds, entered into before the present Ordinance came into force, the validity of which is protected by Section 12 of Ordinance 11 of 1890. These bonds require the girls to attend this Office every quarter until married or otherwise satisfactorily settled in life. This system was introduced by my predecessor, the late Dr. STEWART, in 1883, before the first Women and Girls' Protection Ordinance was introduced in 1887, and will be continued until all the girls of this class have been settled in life. Of this class there have been, since the commencement of the system, altogether 381. Of these 153 have been married, 4 have been adopted, 9 have been sent to Charitable Institu- tions, 17 have been handed over to their parents, 50 have disappeared and the bonds of the sureties have, when possible, been estreated, and 25 have died, so that the number is now reduced to 123.

With reference to Part III. of the Ordinance and the Regulations made under Part IV., section 33, dealing with the registration and regulation of Brothels, returns are given in Table III. shewing the number of prostitutes registered every month and the total number of registered Brothels and inmates during each month of the year. From these returns it will be seen that 512 prostitutes were registered during 1891. The system, introduced by one of my predecessors in office, Mr. (now Sir) JAMES RUSSELL, of orally examining each woman as to her willingness to enter a brothel and explaining to her that she is a free agent, is still continued, and no woman is allowed to enter a brothel until she has stated in my presence that she is doing so of her own free will. There can be no doubt that this system of registration acts as a great check on those persons who carry on a traffic in girls, and prevents them from taking into brothels unwilling victims, which they would most certainly attempt to do, were the system of registration removed. In almost every case, if not in all, applicants for registra- tion have been in brothels before they come to Hongkong. If there is the least ground for suspicion regarding any applicant, she is detained in order to allow further enquiries to be made. In a few cases such detention results in the girl abandoning her former mode of life, but the fact that, in the majority of instances, those who are detained and who are thus afforded every opportunity of giving up their mode of life, declare they are not acting under duress or compulsion and insist on being registered, shews that applicants for registration in Hongkong are as a rule persons who have been accustomed to the life they are leading, and are not entering upon it for the first time when they come to Hongkong.
Seeing that there is no registration fee or charge of any kind in the case of registered houses, it may seem strange that unregistered houses should continue in almost as large numbers as when fees were charged for registration. But the reason is not far to seek. The inmates of unregistered brothels have not to undergo any enquiries regarding their freedom, and it is undoubtedly mainly to avoid these enquiries that application for registration is not made. It is, therefore, most important, in the interests of the women who inhabit them, to strictly suppress unregistered houses. When the new Ordinance came into force, a difficulty was experienced in this respect, for, while it powers to enter any house reasonably suspected of being a brothel, there was no express power to break into a house or to arrest the person in charge of it. Attention having been called to this, Ordinance 14 of 1891 was passed giving the requisite powers. Since the date of the passing of that Ordinance, there have been 35 prosecutions against unregistered houses, in 31 of which there were convictions, the other 4 cases having been dismissed (see Table II.). In these houses 21 girls were found, many of whom availed themselves of the opportunity afforded them of giving up their occupation.
Female Emigration.
gave
Hongkong being one of the chief centres for Chinese emigration, precautions have to be taken to prevent persons being brought into this Colony for purposes of emigration under false pretences. To prevent this all intending emigrants are passed by the Emigration Officer, and, at the passing of female emigrants, an Officer of this Department is always present in order to assist the Emigration Officer in enquiring whether the female emigrants are emigrating of their own free will. In Table IV. a return is given showing the number of women, girls, and boys passed in this way in 1890 and 1891. The total number in the former year was 5,009 and in the latter, 6,227. Those who were found to be un- willing emigrants, and who on that account were detained last year, were very few in number, which shows that the attempts made to get unwilling female emigrants passed are not so frequent as formerly or, what is not at all improbable, that those who are engaged in this business succeed in so coaching the emigrants that they are able to assume an appearance of freedom which they do not really possess, which prevents their unwillingness to emigrate being detected.
Besides the female emigrants passed at the Emigration Office, this Office, through the aid of the Inspectors attached to it and of the Po Leung Kuk, was able to rescue a good many girls who had been brought to the Colony for the purposes of emigration, and who were either being smuggled out of the Colony without passing the examination before the Emigration Officer, or who on their arrival in the Colony were found to have been brought here under false pretences.
Home for Girls.
The women and girls rescued under the Ordinance have found a home in a portion of the Tung Wa Hospital. The accommodation there is both insufficient and unsuitable. The Po Leung Kuk Committee is anxious to have a proper Home for housing rescued women and girls, and a subscription, which amounts to $30,000, has been raised among the Chinese community in aid of the building and maintenance of such an institution. The Society has also applied for a Government grant. Their application together with a report which I drew upon the working of the Society has been laid before the Legislative Council for its consideration.
Re-organisation of Po Leung Kuk.
The Committee of the Po Leung Kuk, in addition to applying for a grant from the Government, has requested that the Society may be placed on a more satisfactory basis. And this, I think, is very desirable. At present the Committee is elected annually, and, though the Committees of this and former years have worked zealously and successfully, there have been occasions when this has not been the case.
To obviate this, I think the constitution of the Society should be altered. Instead of the Committee being changed annually as at present, I would suggest that a permanent Committee consist- ing of eight members, who are interested in the work of the Society and who have already worked hard in connection with it, should be appointed, their appointment to be subject to the approval of the
1

Governor, and vacancies in the Committee to be filled up, subject to the same approval, by members recommended by the permanent Committee; that the Registrar General should be ex officio President and the Chinese member of the Legislative Council for the time being Vice-President; that the permanent Committee should be assisted by another Committee composed of eight persons to be elected annually by the members of the Society; that the Committees should have powers to draw up, subject to the approval of the Government, regulations for carrying on the work of the Society; and that a report on the work of the Society together with a statement of its accounts should be published annually. I feel sure that such a change, while increasing the efficiency of the Society, and preventing its work from being at times conducted by those who are somewhat wanting in experience, would give general satisfaction.
VITAL STATISTICS.
Population.
The decennial Census of Hongkong and its dependencies was taken in May. The result of that Census has been embodied in a special report, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 17th August, so that it is not now necessary to discuss the figures, which have been dealt with in that report. Reference is made to the Census here merely to point out that the estimated population, on which the birth and death rates for the year have been calculated, is based on the average annual increase in the population which was shown by the last Census to have taken place between the years 1857 and 1891, viz., 3.152 per cent.
The estimated population on the 31st December was as follows:---
British and Foreign (including Army and Navy).
Chinese.
Whole.
10,494
214,320
224,814
Marriages.
(Ordinance 14 of 1875.)
A
Under the marriage law of Hongkong, marriages can only be celebrated in cases where one at least of the parties is a Christian. As a consequence of this Chinese marriages do not come within the law, unless one of the parties is a Christian, and, as the Chinese do not as a rule profess Christianity, marriages among the native community take place without any notice being given or licence being required. The policy of non-interference with native marriage customs and ceremonies is, I think, a wise one. I see no reason, however, why persons, who are not Christians, but who wish to be inarried according to the marriage law of the Colony, should be, as at present, debarred from availing them- selves of the law, and I would recommend that the Ordinance be amended so as to meet such cases. As enquiries regarding the marriage law of Hongkong are very frequent, I have had a synopsis of the Ordinance drawn up, copies of which are supplied to enquirers on application. The number of marriages which took place in the year 1891 was 87 as compared with 66 in 1890. These figures may appear low for a population amounting to about 225,000, but it must be remembered that this population is made up of about 214,000 Chinese, who, as I have mentioned, as a rule marry independently of the Ordinance, and that the members of the European and American Resident Civil Population, who avail themselves of it, only number about 4,200.
Births. (Ordinance 7 of 1872.)
In Table V., Return A, will be found a return of the Births for the year 1891.
The total number of births among the British and Foreign community was 205; among the Chinese Community 1,529. Among the former the number of females (113) was in excess of the number of males (92). Among the latter the position of the sexes was reversed, the males numbering 828 and the females 701.
The birth rate was for the British and Foreign community 19.53 per 1,000; for the Chinese. community 7.13, and for the whole population 7.71.
This is an abnormally low birth rate when compared with birth rates in other parts of the world. But the conditions of life, especially among the Chinese in Hongkong, are peculiar and are in a great measure accountable for it. Though family life has increased among the Chinese in this Colony, it cannot be said to be in any sense universal. The majority of Chinese residents in Hongkong have their families on the mainland of China, which they visit during the year, the distance between this Colony and their native homes being but trifling. Many women also prefer giving birth to their children in their own country, which they can reach so conveniently. Further, it has never been the custom in Hongkong to register still births, a defect in the system of registration which will be remedied. In the absence of such registration there is no means of estimating the number of still births, but if they bear anything like the proportion to living births which they do in Europe, viz., 33 to 1,000, they must be not a few in number. Finally, there must be a considerable number of births in the Colony, which are not registered, though there is a penalty for non-registration 30 days after the birth and a still heavier one for neglect to register after 60 days. Every attempt is made to

find out when births take place, but, notwithstanding the exercise of all reasonable vigilance, I am afraid births do occur which never appear in a register. The following table shows the number of births and birth rates for the last six years :-

From this return it will be seen that, while the birth rate among the British or Foreign community has risen, that among the Chinese has fallen.

Deaths. (Ordinance 7 of 1872.)
The deaths among the British and Foreign community numbered 191; among the Chinese, 5,183, making a total of 5,374 for 1891, as compared with 4,553 in 1890.
The annual death rate per 1,000 among the British and Foreign community was 18.20; among the Chinese, 24.18; among the whole population 23.90. It may be interesting to compare this death rate with that of the chief towns of England and Wales. The following extract from the Times Weekly Edition of the 12th February shows the death rate of the chief towns of England and Wales for the week ending February 6th :---
The weekly return of births and deaths in London and in 32 other great towns is published, by authority of the Re- gistrar General, for the week ending Saturday, February 6th. The deaths registered last week in 33 great towns of England and Wales corresponded to an annual rate of 26.2 per 1,000 of their aggregate population. The deaths registered in each of the several towns, alphabetically arranged, corresponded to the following annual rates per 1,000:--

It must be borne in mind, however, when considering the death rate of Hongkong, that the popu- lation is not a normal one, the number of people in the prime of life being in the proportion of about 3 to 1. Besides, many of the Chinese leave the Colony for China when they are seriously ill, as they naturally prefer to die in their own country, and, in the case of Europeans also, they in many instances go away when in ill-health, and this no doubt helps to keep the death rate lower than it otherwise would be.
Infantile Mortality.
A reference to Table V., Return B, will show that the number of deaths under one year was 1,533 or 28.53 per cent of the total mortality for the year. This is an exceedingly high rate of infantile mor- tality and seems difficult of explanation, seeing that the total number of births for 1891 is only 1,734. The Sanitary Board took up the question of the high rate of infantile mortality in Hongkong some years ago, and attention has been called to it on more than one occasion since, but no entirely satisfactory explanation of it has ever been given. Most of the infantile deaths occur in the French and Italian Convents, and it has been suggested that children in a moribund condition are taken to these institutions from the mainland of China and from places in the Colony, the births of children in the latter case not being registered.

may be
or 24.54 per cent of the total mortality for the year.. In England hospital deaths constitute only about four per cent of the total number of deaths. This large percentage of hospital deaths in Hong- kong is in a great measure due to the fact that many of the poorer Chinese apply for admission to the Tung Wa Hospital when they are in the very last stages of sickness, so that their remains properly cared for after death, a point on which Chinese sentiment is very strong, rather than in the hope of being cured. A glance at the figures in Table VII., which gives the number of patients under treatment in the Tung Wa Hospital during 1891 and which has already been published in the Government Gazette, shows that the total number under treatment in the Hospital during the year was 2,630; the total discharged, 1,359; the total of deaths 1,159 or 44.07 per cent of the total number admitted. In its out-patient department the Hospital is a great boon to the poor, who flock to it in large numbers, as the figures show. The out-patients during the year were-

or more than two thirds of the entire Chinese population, which is about 214,000. No doubt many of the same out-patients went to the Hospital frequently, which would of course swell the number, as each visit, whether by the same person or not, is entered as a separate case.

Registered Causes of Death.
In Table VI. will be found the causes of death during 1891. In a Colony like Hongkong, the popu- lation of which is almost entirely composed of Chinese, who are not acquainted with Western medical science and whose doctors have never received a medical training in accordance with Western methods, the difficulties of ascertaining the real causes of death, even in cases where the deceased was attended by a Chinese practitioner, can be easily conceived. But these difficulties are still further increased when, as is often the case, no doctor of any kind has been in attendance, and the information, on which the cause of death is registered, is derived from the person reporting the death, who, as a rule, is not able to give a very accurate account of the nature of the disease which terminated fatally. In cases where any doubt exists the death is classed as "ill-defined and undiagnosed," which accounts for there being a larger number (313) of deaths classed under that heading than may perhaps appear in places where the local circumstances are different from those of Hongkong.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH MAY, 1892.
363
When I entered upon the duties of Registrar General, I found that, in cases of death reported by European medical practitioners, there was an absence of uniformity in the nomenclature of diseases used by them, which tended to reduce the value of their information for statistical and sanitary pur- poses. With a view, therefore, to introduce a uniform nomenclature and to bring about a general agreement among the medical practitioners in the use of such a nomenclature, I communicated with the Medical Society of Hongkong, which was composed of all the medical gentlemen practising in the Colony, and which has since been formed into a branch of the British Medical Association, and invited them to consider the question of a uniform nomenclature of diseases, pointing out that this was a matter of no small importance both from a sanitary and statistical point of view. As the result of this communication it was decided to adopt the nomenclature of diseases drawn up by a joint Committee appointed by the Royal College of Physicians of London, second edition of 1885, which is the first revision, the nomenclature being subject to decennial revision, and each medical practitioner was supplied with a copy of the nomenclature. Since the introduction of this nomenclature, it has generally been followed by the members of the medical profession, though at times the certificates of death given by them are not in accord with it, which tends to render the work of registration and classification difficult. It is hoped that, by calling attention to this, departures from the nomenclature will become less frequent, though they do not now occur very often.
Medical Certificates.
Up to 1891, there appears to have been no proper form of medical certificate of death in use in Hongkong. I drew the attention of the Medical Society to the absence of a proper form of such certificate some time ago, and pointed out the inconvenience and want of regularity which resulted from medical practitioners scribbling a certificate on any piece of paper which came to hand. Through some misunderstanding, whether on the part of this Office or the Medical Society is not quite clear, no steps were taken to remedy this unsatisfactory state of things until last year, when I caused to be introduced a form of medical certificate based on that used in England in the department of the Registrar General. All the doctors in the Colony have been furnished with books of these forms, which, I am told, they find a great convenience.
VACCINATION ORDInance, 1890.
This Ordinance makes vaccination compulsory in the case of any child six months old or upwards. Certificates of successful vaccination from medical practitioners or public vaccinators have to be presented and lodged at this Office seven days after the date of the certificate. In the event of the parent or guardian of any child failing to satisfy the Registrar General of the successful vaccination or unfitness for vaccination of a child, he is served with a notice calling upon him to have his child vaccinated, and, if he fails to produce a certificate within one month after the receipt of such notice, he is liable to be fined. For the purpose of facilitating the work of vaccination six public vaccinators are appointed under the Ordinance, and there is also an Inspector of vaccination, whose duty it is to secure the due performance by the Public Vaccinators of all vaccinations and to inspect the results. There are also Vaccination Stations, where vaccination is carried on free of charge, at the following places :---
In Victoria.-Government Civil Hospital, Tung Wa Hospital, Alice Memorial Hospital.
In the Villages.-Government Schools, where vaccination is performed by the Tung Wa Hospital Doctors, who visit the villages on fixed dates.
The return in Table VIII. shows the number of notices served and the number of certificates of successful vaccination received during 1891.
Sixteen prosecutions for failure to produce the certificates required under the Ordinance were instituted, in all of which convictions were obtained. (See Table II.)
The reason why there were so few prosecutions under this Ordinance is due to the fact that the Chinese are fully alive to the benefits to be derived from vaccination, which was almost universal among the Chinese in Hongkong before the Ordinance was introduced, the work having been carried on by the doctors of the Tung Wa Hospital, who also extend their operations to districts in the South of China. ORDINANCE FOR THE REGISTRATION OF BOOKS PRINTED IN HONGKONG. (10 of 1888.)
The Registrar General is the Officer to whom the printers of all books printed in Hongkong have to furnish 3 copies of every work within one month after such work has been delivered out of the press, and who is entrusted with the keeping of the "Catalogue of Books" published in Hongkong. Of the copies of the books so furnished, one is transmitted to the Secretary of State, one is deposited in a public library, and the remaining one is disposed of as the Governor in Council directs. During 1891, 29 books were published as compared with 55 in 1890.
REGISTRATION OF HOUSEHOLDERS. (ORDINANCE 13 OF 1888, CH. III.)
Under the law regulating the Registration of Householders, the actual tenant or occupant of the whole of any building or tenement in a district of Victoria, or, in cases where there is no such person,
364
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH MAY, 1892.
the immediate landlord of the whole of a building or tenement (persons other than Chinese not being included, unless a portion of their house is rented by Chinese) and, in the case of Companies, the Secretary or Manager has within 15 days after becoming a householder to register the following particulars:-
(1) Name of street and number of house.
(2) Name, address, profession or trade.
(3) Name, condition or occupation of any person renting any portion of the house for any
period not less than a month.
The householder, after having registered these particulars, receives a certificate of registration. Should any change occur in the tenancy of any portion of his house, after it has been registered, he has to make a report within one week of such change. Table IX. contains a Return (A) showing the number in each district of---
(a) the first registration of householders.
(b) the re-registration of householders.
(c) report of changes in tenancy.
In the same Table is a Return B. of the number of Chinese shops together with the nature of their business opened and closed during the year 1891. From the latter Return it will be seen that during the year 932 shops were opened and 876 closed, leaving a balance of 50 in favour of shops opened over those closed. It is hoped that this return may help to throw some light on the nature of the various kinds of business carried on by the Chinese in Hongkong.
The revenue derived from the issue of certificates, &c. under the Registration Ordinance during 1891 amounted to $1,599.75 as compared with $1,761.75 in 1890, showing a decrease of $162. (See Table I.)
Eighteen prosecutions were instituted for neglect to furnish the particulars required by the Registration Ordinance, and in each case there was a conviction. (See Table II.)
MARKETS. (ORDINANCE 17 OF 1887.)
The letting of Market shops and stalls is under this Department. Table I., Return C., shows the number of occupied and vacant shops and stalls at the end of the year together with the amount of the annual revenue derived from each Market.
During the year 4 shops and 99 stalls became vacant and were put up to tender, 71 of which were let. For 32 no tenders were received.
The Central Market still consists of temporary shops and stalls erected on the Praya. The accommodation thus afforded is far from satisfactory, and it will be a great boon to the public and to the Market people when the new Central Market is ready for occupation.
NIGHT PASSES. (ORDINANCE 13 OF 1888, CHAP. VI.)
Applications for the issue of Night Passes or for their renewal are made through this Department. During the year 1891, 188 new applicants for quarterly passes and 25 for annual passes were recom- mended. The total number of quarterly passes issued by the Police during 1891 was 18,836 and of annual and special passes issued by the Colonial Secretary, 381.
PERMITS. (ORDINANCE 13 OF 1888, CHAP. V.)

DISTRICT WATCHMEN. (ORDINANCE 13 OF 1888, CHAP. IV.)
365
There is no change to report regarding the District Watchmen for the year 1891. The accounts of the Watchmen's Fund have already been published. (See Government Gazette, Notification No. 123.) The number of cases brought before the Magistrate by District Watchmen during the year amounted to 324, in all of which convictions were obtained.
On my recommendation, General BARKER, when administering the Government, appointed the following gentlemen, at the end of last year, as a Committee to co-operate with this Department in the administration of the District Watchmen's Fund :-
Honourable Ho KAI.
Mr. CH'AN PAN-PO.

LEGISLATION AFFECTING THE CHINESE.
Out of the 26 Ordinances passed by the Legislative Council during the year 1891, the following are those which more particularly affect the Chinese :-
聱
1. Ordinances Nos. 1, 2, 5 naturalising as British subjects within the Colony three Chinese.
2. The Sunday Cargo-Working Ordinance (No. 6).
3. The Gambling Ordinance (No. 7).
4. The Latrine Ordinance (No. 11).
5. Public Health Amendment Ordinance (especially the section dealing with the regulation
of cemeteries and disposal of the dead). (No. 12.)
6. Arms Consolidation Ordinance (No. 17).
7. Bankruptcy Ordinance (No. 20).
8. Opium Ordinances (Nos. 21 and 22).
TRANSLATION WORK.
The fact of this Office being the medium of communication between the Government and the Chinese community entails upon it a considerable amount of work in the translating from Chinese into English of documents presented by the Chinese residents, who, being as a rule quite ignorant of English, can only express their views or their wants in their own language. Such expression generally assumes the form of a Chinese petition. Many of these petitions are of a purely formal nature, such as applications for licences, &c., of which a precis is quite sufficient; some are on subjects of more general interest, and, in addition to requiring to be translated in full, have to be enquired into and reported on before being submitted, through the Colonial Seeretary, to the Governor for decision; while some concern other Departments, to which they are referred with a translation. A return, showing the number and subject of the Chinese Petitions presented during 1891, will be found in Table X.
In addition to this translation work, this Department has also to revise the Chinese translations of other Departments, to supervise the Chinese edition of the Government Gazette, to issue in Chinese Government notices and proclamations, and to translate from English into Chinese regulations, &c., which affect the Chinese community. It-has also to carry on a correspondence in Chinese with the Po Leung Kuk and Tung Wa Hospital, which last year amounted to 796 letters.
THE CHINESE RECREATION GROUND.
The question of the improvement of the piece of ground at Possession Point, known as the Chinese Recreation Ground, had been under my consideration before I went home on leave at the beginning of 1889, and at the end of that year, Mr. MITCHELL-INNES, who was acting for me during my absence, submitted a definite scheme. The scheme included the levelling and planting of the ground and the crection of stalls for the sale of miscellaneous articles. The scheme was carried out at an expense of $6,000 and completed in December, 1890. The number of stalls, &c., on the ground is 125. Of these 81 are built round three sides of the ground. These are of brick and are rented by vendors of ready-made clothes, matches, cigarettes, drugs, and miscellaneous articles. Fifty-one of them are let at present. Twenty-four situated in the centre of the ground are used as cooking-stalls, and as a rule only 3 or 4 are vacant; 20, consisting of a table and seat and provided with a wooden-shelter, are near the road. These are let to fortune-tellers and letter-writers.
The revenue derived from the stalls for 1891 was $2,325.95, and the expenditure $986.67.

GENERAL.
Chinese Cemeteries and the Disposal of the Dead.
The question of the disposal of the Chinese dead is one which occupied a considerable amount of attention during 1891, and created much interest among the Chinese, to whom the dead are almost of greater moment than the living. A proposal, which at one time received a good deal of support, was made to have the Chinese who died in Hongkong buried outside the Colony on the mainland of China. To that proposal I was strongly opposed both on political and other grounds, and the Chinese themselves, the persons most intimately concerned, were not in favour of it.
The proposal arose from a fear that, the area of Hongkong being so limited, it would not be sufficient as time went on to meet all the demands on it for burial spaces. In order to obviate this difficulty, I pointed out that, if the Chinese custom of exhuming dead remains after a certain period were availed of, the space in the present cemeteries would not be exhausted and new burial grounds would not be required. Sanitary objections were raised in some quarters to exhumation on a large scale, but these have been overcome, and Mr. FRANCIS, Q.C., is now engaged in drafting for the Sanitary Board, of which he is a member, an Ordinance which will embody the principle of exhumation after a period of seven years. The regulation of public Chinese Cemeteries is a matter which has been taken up by no means too soon. Attention has been frequently called to their unregulated condition, but, now that they are receiving special attention, it is to be hoped they will be better looked after in the future than they have been in the past.
Common Lodging Houses.
Another matter which stirred up great excitement among the Chinese was the proposed regis- tration of Common Lodging Houses in order to prevent the over-crowding, which is alleged to exist in them. The coolies who inhabit these houses were strongly opposed to the measure, though they quite understood its significance and were fully aware that they were to pay no registration fees. I think it is almost certain that, had it been enforced, a strike would have ensued. This would have seriously damaged the shipping interests of the port and caused great inconvenience to trade, as the coolies who load and discharge cargo and coal would have been among the strikers, and would have entailed much suffering on the coolies themselves, who are a poor class, living from hand to mouth. It was decided, and wisely I think, to adopt a Fabian policy in this matter, which was postponed for a year in order that it might be more fully considered.
Chinese Consul.
During 1891 a despatch (No. 107 of 21st May) was received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies stating that Her Majesty's Government had agreed to the appointment of Mr. Tso Ping-lung, Chinese Consul at Singapore, to be Consul at Hongkong for one year, on the understanding that he was to be withdrawn at the end of that time if the appointment should be found not to work well. To that despatch a reply (No. 229 of the 15th July) was sent by the Officer Administering the Government, Major-General DIGBY BARKER, asking for directions as to the duties and powers of the Consul, an answer to which was received from the Secretary of State in despatch No. 235 of the 1st October, informing the Administrator that the request for the appointment of a Chinese Consul had been withdrawn by the Chinese Government, and stating, in reply to the questions raised by General BARKER, "that the duties and powers of any Chinese Consul would have been generally similar to "those of the Consuls of other Nations; that the inhabitants of the Colony would still have been expected to look upon the Registrar General as the Protector of Chinese, and that the Colonial "Government would have continued to communicate with the Chinese Authorities through Her
Majesty's Consular Officers."

European Staff.
During 1891, Mr. SERCOMBE SMITH, the Assistant Registrar General, went home on leave of absence and Mr. A. W. BREWIN, Passed Cadet, was appointed to act for him. Mr. G. S. NORTHCOTE, the 2nd Clerk in this Office, was appointed Assistant Postmaster General, and Mr. E. S. SUTTON was appointed, subject to the confirmation of the Secretary of State, to take his place.
Chinese Staff.
Mr. MOK MAN-CH'EUNG, Chinese Clerk and Interpreter, having been promoted to the office of Chinese Translator in the Supreme Court, Mr. MoK LAI-CHI was appointed to his post, but the appoint- ment has not yet been confirmed by the Secretary of State. Mr. TANG YAT-KO, Chinese Writer, having resigned, Mr. WONG KI-CH'o was appointed, on probation, in his place.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,
Registrar General.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial practical use, and while alphabetically arranged
according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- tined 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 j 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.

There were 33,080 arrivals with a tonnage of 7,001,829 tons, and 32,960 departures of 7,003,869 tons, making a grand total of 66,040 vessels, an1 14,005,698 tons. The increase in European constructed vessels numbers 488 of 507,302 tons against a decrease in the foreign junk trade of 1,283 vessels measuring 308,961 tons and an increase in the local jank trade, i.e. ports of the Colony 2,848 vessels aggregating 131,064 tons or a net decrease in junks of 177,897 tons. The net increase of the trade of the port being 2,053 vessels measuring 329,405 tons.

4. Compared with 1890, there has been an increase of British Tonnage amounting to 195,670 tons, and an increase of Foreign tonnage of 311,632 tons. A comparison with the average of the last three years shows an increase in 1891, of 433 British ships representing 533,878 tons, and of vessels under Foreign flags an increase of 478 ships, measuring 495,028.
5. The 1,548 British ships, exclusive of River Steamers, that entered the port in 1891, carried 10,938 officers as follows:-

95 of the British Officers belonged to the Royal Naval Reserve.
6. The 1,354 Foreign ships, exclusive of River Steamers, that entered in 1891, carried 969 British Officers, all in American, Chinese, and Japanese owned ships.
7. 2,902 European constructed vessels entered the port in the year, of these 442 ships entered 1,529 times, measuring 2,109,366 tons, being twelve times and under, i.e. to make a broad distinction class- ing them as ocean traders or feeders to the Colony. 61 ships entered 1,373 times or 13 times each and upwards, aggregating 1,290,443 tons and may be described as local traders, or distributors of the ocean borne traffic. 149 ships cutered once only, one British ship entered thirty eight times, one foreign 37 times and two 36 each.
8. Examination of the following statement shows that the bulk of the occan traffic is in British bottoms, whilst pro rata very much the largest share of the distributing trade is under foreign flags. The German ships are shown separately to the foreigners, the total of the German tonnage being more than that of all the other foreigners put together, and exceeding one-third of the British :--

The average of entry is therefore 5.8 per ship.
9. The general trade, as represented by the amount of shipping from and to the various countries, shows a slight decrease generally-large in the Siam, Cochin China and Macao trade, with a marked increase in that to the Coast of China and Formosa, India and Singapore. In foreign bottoms there is a decided general increase; a very marked decrease is, however, apparent in the Coast of China and Formosa, Cochin China and Siam trades, attributable to the shrinkage in the Junk trade, and the failure of the rice-crops in Siam and Cochin China. Junks cause the total numerical decrease, whilst there is shown an increase of tonnage.
JUNKS.
10. As shown in the foregoing tables, the Junk trade for 1891, amounted to 3,726,655 tons, being a decrease from the previous year of 177,897 tons, although there is an increase numerically of 1,565 Junks. The shrinkage is in the Foreign Junk Trade and amounts to 1,283 vessels aggregating 308,961 tons, against which is to be placed an increase in Junks in Local Trade numbering 2,848 vessels measuring 131,064 tons. The causes of this shrinkage have been indicated in previous corres- pondence. Compared with the average of the past three years, the Junk trade of 1891 shows a decrease of 301,254 tons in the Foreign trade, and an increase of 162,919 tons in the Local trade, with a total increase of 2,015 vessels.
11. The recurring subject of the interference of the Chinese Revenue Cruizers with the Junk trade of the Colony, was only once brought officially forward in the past year, on the occasion of an alleged violation of British Waters when a Hongkong licensed trading junk was boarded, searched and a revolver found thereon confiscated. As usual the exact position of the vessel being subject to the conflicting evidence of interested parties, with an absence of European testimony on the part of the Junk, the question of within or without British Waters was not capable of legal proof.
12. 4,225 steamers, 126 sailing vessels and 28,729 junks arrived during the year, giving an average of 90 vessels arriving daily in the waters of the Colony as against 88 the year before.
Of the steamers 66 per cent. were British, a falling off of 2 per cent. from 1890, of these 52 per cent. were "Ocean going" as against 54 the year before, and of the Foreigners 11 per cent. were river craft an increase of two per cent. on the previous year.
STEAM-LAUNCHES.
13. On the 31st December, there were 100 steam-launches in the Harbour, of these 48 were licensed for the conveyance of passengers, 44 were privately owned, 8 were the property of the Colonial Govern- ment, besides three Police launches and a steam floating fire engine. There were in addition 5 launches, the property of the War Department. During the year 8 launches were sold, one sunk and one con- demned.
EMIGRATION.
14. There has been a slight increase in the numbers of Chinese leaving the Colony for ports other than those of China and Japan. The numbers to Honolulu have nearly trebled, increased to Mauritius, the Straits Settlements and Vancouver, decreased 25 per cent. to San Francisco and totally ceased to Deli.

1. On the 9th April, 1891, inquiry as to the stranding and loss of the British steam-ship Nanzing, Official No. 60,462 of Shanghai, on the South side of Ye Chow Island, China Sea, on the morning of the 20th March. The Master's (JOSEPH HOGG) certificate of competency was returned to him.
THE SUNDAY CARGO-WORKING ORDINANCE, 1891.
20. Ordinance No. 6 of 1891 prohibiting the working of cargo in connection with vessels of European construction or design within the waters of the Colony came into force on the 1st August last, and has proved a boon to the classes whose condition it was intended to ameliorate.
21. The total of fees collected for "Sunday Permits to 31st December last, amounted to $2,150 representing 11 exemptions.
22. A flaw was found in the Ordinance on the 30th October last, when the Police Magistrate ruled in the case of a ship that had coaled on a Sunday without a permit that "coal, water, provi- sions, stores and equipment" were not cargo and, therefore, not within the letter of the Ordinance. Since that date two vessels have availed themselves of this technicality to evade the Ordinance.
SEAMEN.
23. 11,782 seamen were shipped and 12,099 discharged at the Shipping Office and on board ships during the year, this discrepancy is owing to the number of seamen shipped at the various Consulates of which we have no record.
24. 295 distressed seamen were received during the year, of these 69 were sent to the United Kingdom, 10 elsewhere, 3 died, and 199 obtained employment. On the 31st December, 1891, 13 were in the Government Civil Hospital, and 1 in the Lunatic Asylum. $4,367.64 were expended by the Board of Trade in the relief of these men, and $17.25 by the Colony.

27. The three Lighthouse Stations have been maintained as usual during the light-keeper and engineer's services being required at the Gap Rock Lighthouse, for the light now The principal approaching completion there, the second light-keeper was transferred to Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouse, the third to Green Island, and a temporary third light-keeper employed whose salary is debited to the cost of the erection of the Gap Rock Lighthouse.
28. The second lighthouse keeper died on 15th January last; the post has since been satisfactorily filled by the Officer now in charge at D'Aguilar.
29. The third light-keeper on probation on 31st December last, resigned on the 9th January, and his successor resigned on 31st May. The Officer now in charge of Green Island Light has been confirmed in the appointment of third light-keeper.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH MAY, 1892.
30. Higher pay on an incremental system is gradually producing a better class of Chinese assist- ant light-keepers. I would be glad to see Police Pensioners come forward as applicants for the posts shortly to be filled amongst the assistants at the Gap Rock.
BOKHARA ROCK.
31. The buoy marking this rock broke adrift once, but was speedily replaced with the assistance of a diver from H. M. S. Victor Emanuel.

Since the issue of the proclamation prohibiting the export of munitions of war to China very large quantities of gunpowder privately owned have been transferred to Macao.
33. The condition of the Magazine is good, a new roof having been put on during the
year. The new wharf is completed. The subject of the exclusion of the public from the precincts of the Magazine is one which has been brought prominently forward for the last two years successively. 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 speedy correction.
34. The Gunner resigned on the 15th September, and his successor on the 19th November, the post was filled on the 20th November last by an Officer on probation-since confirmed.

36. Surprise visits were paid to 114 godowns. One case of deficiency (one chest) was detected, prosecuted and the owner fined $100. Sundry technical breaches of the Opium Ordinance were found.
THE HONGkong goveRNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH MAY, 1892.
REVENUE.
409
37. Table XXVI is a comparative statement of revenue for the past five years. In the course of correspondence appearing in the public prints last year certain items of revenue collected from "European constructed vessels" were referred to as evidence that European shipping was more heavily taxed than junks the inference being that the ship-owner paid the heavier fees. Examination of these items will show that the inference is most misleading, and the illustrations inaccurate.
1st. "Emigration Brokers" in 1891, $1,200, were paid by 6 individuals who find $10,000
security each. The licences are issued for the protection of ships and owners.
It is a trade license as much as a pawn-broker's or public house licence, and there appears no more reason why it should be considered a charge on shipping, it might as easily be paid direct into the Treasury as the others are, and not appear in the collection of this Department at all.
2nd. Shipping seamen $11,782. Hitherto not one cent of this has been paid by the ship- owner, $1 for shipping, and 25 cents for discharging have been the charges legally and carefully deducted from the seaman's wages. Unless a seaman signs Articles before a Shipping Master, the owners have no legal control over him. These dues are paid all the world over save in England. They are a distinct benefit to owners and as much general revenue as stamp duty.
3rd. Examination of Masters, Mates and Engineers $1,900. These. fees are paid by the individuals who come up for examination. The multiplication of certificated officers is of the greatest convenience to ship-owners, the law (and also Insurance Companies) requiring certain certificated officers to be on board. Were officers unable to obtain certificates abroad on production of satisfactory proof of competency and service, they would be debarred from rising in their profession (or materially retarded), and ship- owners would be put to great delay and inconvenience in filling up vacancies caused by death, misconduct, &c., and until such vacancies were filled up it must be remembered the ships could not be run. The fees from the Victoria College might with equal pro- priety be claimed as properly creditable to " Shipping.'
4th. Survey of Steamships $8,643.77. These surveys are carried out for the protection of the public and although the fees charged fall against shipping, they can only be looked upon as trade licences. The certificates are signed by the Governor and are a distinct benefit to owners, as without them they could not carry passengers, and there would be great difficulty in effecting insurance. If these fees were not paid here, they would have to be paid elsewhere.
5th. Registry fees $275. These fees are paid to acquire a national character; as a legal document confer ownership; also for changing the name of the Master on the Register where it must appear by Imperial law and Colonial Ordinance. These fees have to be paid somewhere; there is nothing to prevent owners running their ships under other flags if they think it would be cheaper.
6th. Medical fees for Inspecting Emigrants $14,435.50. This examination is a distinct
‧ benefit to shippers and emigrants alike it naturally follows, therefore, to shipping and ship-owners. Without it emigrants could not be obtained in any number and shippers would lose the passage money. It is the hall mark of British supervision and justice. It means only voluntary emigration and prevents mutinies aboard ships. It should be noted that the Registrar General's staff are also employed in the regulation of emigra- tion at the examination on shore, the actual medical examination on board ship, the name under which the fee is collected, being but a very small proportion of the whole process, it however insures the ship against contagious disease, and humanly speaking against quarantine detentions and loss of money at the end of her voyage. If, however, the burdens are excessive and the benefits not an adequate equivalent, there is no reason why the trade should be confined to this centre.
7th. Licences Steam-Launches $462.50. An ordinary trade licence to carry passengers of precisely the same nature as that of a Jinricksha or Chair licence, and there appears no more reason why Ocean steamers should be credited with the one than with the other. 8th. Survey Certificates for Steam-Launches $1,055. For the protection of the public an ordinary Board of Trade examination to which passenger launches are subjected every half year in the same way as are locomotives in England or penny steam boats on the Thames. Shipping have no more claim to them than to the fees for the testing of the Peak tramway. The explosion and loss of life on board the steam-launch Wing Shing on the 7th May last, (a towing launch) demonstrated how necessary is a periodical Government examination of all launches not only for the protection of those on board but in a crowded harbour like Victoria to safeguard passers-by.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH MAY, 1892.
It is patent that for all these direct taxes, a direct return in full is made, the grounds therefore on which ship-owners endeavour to establish a claim to consideration for the revenue derived therefrom, are not very clear.
9th. Light-dues $89,656.69; for this sum 3,419,382 tons of shipping paying full rates 2! cents a ton, and 625,826 tons of river steamers paying reduced rates of a cent a ton entered the waters of the Colony in addition to which 1,112,876 tons of river steamers day boats entered free of charge. By Order in Council dated 30th March, 1875, "River "Steamers entering by day and all Chinese Junks are exempt from payment of Light "Dues." Junks are not allowed by Ordinance to leave by night and as a matter of fact few arrive by night, 1,863,202 tons of junks entered in 1891, of these, only one- seventh are Ocean going in the sense of European constructed vessels; the rest plying on the Canton river as day boats and to the ports of the island without leaving the waters of the Colony, were they on the same footing, therefore, with regard to Light- Dues, but 266,172 tons would have been taxed i.e., 4,045,208 tons of European Shipping pay $89,656.69-2.2 cents a ton, and 266,172 tons of Junks pay $22,602.50-9.5 cents The assumption, therefore, that Junks are more lightly taxed than European constructed vessels it will be seen is baseless.
a ton.
10th. Cargo-boats $1,177, these are fees for measuring of Cargo-boats, the registry and licensing are done by the Registrar General's Department, which has machinery at its disposal for the investigation of the securities offered by 2,500 individuals and upwards, inclusive of boats.
11th. Medical fees for distressed British seamen, these are paid by the Board of Trade, for- merly they were paid into the Treasury and therefore appeared as revenue, but now the Shipping Master pays the Government Civil Hospital directly.
12th. The last reference it is proposed to make to the correspondence of last year is to explain that the upkeep of the different establishments besides Victoria said to be for the "almost exclusive use of native craft" are five Police Stations. The Officer-in-Charge receives $11 a month for the extra work, and a boat and crew are kept to pull him about. Table XXVII shows the cost of upkeep and the receipts from them; the total cost. amounts to $2,616, and the Returns therefrom to $12,574.50 nearly 500 per cent. sound paying business.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION. -No. 220.

The following Report from the Postmaster General for 1891, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 9th instant, is published.
By Command,
G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 10th May, 1892.
GENERAL POST OFFICE,
HONGKONG, April 6th, 1892.
SIR,-I have the honour to transmit my report on the British Postal Service in Hongkong and China during the year 1891. From the approximate Statistics annexed, it will be observed at a glance that the work has very considerably increased.
2. The British Postal Authorities having fixed upon the 1st January, 1891, as the date upon which to commence the reduction of letter postage, it was decided that the rate of postage between Hongkong and Countries within the Postal Union should be 7 cents per oz. instead of 10 cents, the rate formerly charged. The 7-cent rate was accordingly charged from the 1st January, 1891, but owing to representations made by the British Postal Authorities, that it was of essential importance to confine the reduced rate for the present to the United Kingdom, the old rates were reverted to on the 30th March, except in the case of Great Britain. I hope to be able to report very shortly that this reduced letter rate has been extended to all other countries.
3. The Australasian Colonies, namely, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, British New Guinea, Tasmania, New Zealand and Fiji having entered the Universal Postal Union on the 1st October, correspondence from that date became liable to the Union rates of Postage, viz. :- Letters 10 cents per oz., Post cards each 3 cents, Books and Patterns per 2 ozs. 2 cents, Newspapers and Prices Current each 2 cents, Registration 10 cents, Return Receipt for Registered Articles 5 cents. 4. A contract was entered into between the Postmaster General, London, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, for the conveyance of Her Majesty's Mails, &c., between Quebec or Halifax and Hongkong. The first vessel employed under the contract, the Empress of India, left Hongkong on the 7th April. In connection with this service, it is only fair to the Company to record the delivery in London of Mails despatched from Hongkong on the 11th August per Empress of Japan in 29 days.
.
5. At His Excellency the Governor's request, and with a view of increasing postal facilities, I prepared an Indent on the Crown Agents for one dozen Pillar Letter Boxes. On arrival I would suggest their being distributed as follows :
Eastern Market, Tramway Station, Albany, Seymour Terrace, Neighbourhood of Richmond
Terrace and Caine Road (near the Italian Convent).
Two Boxes already exist, one at West Point and the other near the Harbour Office. Five should be placed at the Peak instead of the present wooden ones and should be distributed as follows:-
Tramway, Mount Kellet, Church, Plantation Road, Magazine Gap.
The remaining Box might be placed at the Kowloon Wharves. Those in the Town District might be cleared four times a day and those at the Peak and Kowloon twice.
6. A system of Parcel Post Insurance between Hongkong and the United Kingdom was introduced on the 18th July last (vide Government Notification No. 312). Up to the 31st December, 74 Insured Parcels have been despatched and 124 received. This system has since been extended to India.
7. The number of Parcels received and despatched during the year under review was as follows:---
By P. & O. Packet, ...... By German Mail,
Outward. 5,240 160
Inward. .10,078 383
10,461
5,400
Total.
15,318
543
15,861
The total number received and despatched in 1890 was 14,844 or 1,017 less than in 1891. The heaviest outward mail was the Christmas Mail which consisted of 488 parcels outward and 734 inward.
8. Arrangements have been made for the direct exchange of parcel Mails with Egypt, British North Borneo and New South Wales. The question of a direct exchange with Canada is still under consideration.
9. Complaints have been prevalent of the want of adhesiveness in the Postage Stamps. No blame, however, can be attached to this Department. On several occasions this matter has been brought to the notice of the Crown Agents not only by this but other Colonies, and in reply to a letter addressed by them to the Inland Revenue Department, the Secretary states-"I may add that it has been "found to be altogether unsafe, particularly in certain tropical climates, to use more than the quantity "of gum now employed, for, where there is an excess quantity, it is readily liquified by the dampness "at night and so the sheets stick together. The gum now used is considered to be sufficient, but the
438
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH MAY, 1892.
"Board would suggest that the sheets of Stamps not in actual use, shall be kept in closed receptacles "which would exclude humidity of atmosphere and thus lessen the probability of the gum becoming "impaired." Notwithstanding these precautions, it has been found necessary to have the stamps re-gummed, and on the 4th of December last I requested the Government once more to draw the attention of the Crown Agents to this matter.
10. In commemoration of the Colony's Jubilee, a Jubilee Stamp was issued to the public on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th January. It was the ordinary two-cent stamp with the words
1841
Hong Kong
Jubilee
1891
printed on it. Fifty thousand were purchased, chiefly by Stamp Collectors.
11. For the convenience of the Peak residents three additional Letter Boxes have been placed at the Peak.
12. The amount of Peak and Kaulung correspondence carried during the year is shown by the subjoined figures :-
Peak, Kaulung,
Sent to
4,876 2,068
Received from
364
159
Once again I have to thank the Manager of the High-Level Tramway Company for the facilities granted to our postmen.
13. 2,511 Mails were received and 3,001 despatched during the year.
14. The attention of the Government having been drawn to the fact that numbers of letters were conveyed to Macao by the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company's steamers free of charge, it was decided to enforce the law. The result of this has been a trifling addition to the Local
Revenue.
15. A list of articles which it is forbidden to send to the United States through the Post on account of their being liable to Customs Duty will be found in the annexed Government Notification.
16. Under the new Postal Convention which was signed at Vienna on the 4th July last and which will come into force on the 1st July, 1892, the issue of Reply-paid Post Cards by all Union Countries will be obligatory, so far as regards the international service. The necessary indent for such cards has been made upon the Crown Agents, and all other necessary steps will be taken to give effect to the new arrangement before the date specified for its coming into operation.
17. Steps are being taken for the establishment of a Postal Note System between Hongkong and the various Ports of China at which Postal Agents are stationed. From the frequent enquiries made at the Agencies respecting the existence of some method of remitting money otherwise than by means of Postage Stamps and Bank Notes, I am convinced that the institution of the system proposed will supply a much-felt want and will be appreciated by the communities at the different Ports. The values proposed are 25c., 50c., $1, $2, $3, $4, $5 and $10.
18. The Revenue for 1891 was as follows:-

19. The Revenue in 1890 amounted to Do. in 1891 amounted to
Decrease,
$148,459.98 $142,770.03
$ 5,689.95
The decrease is partly due to the reduction of postage to the United Kingdom, and partly to the new system of keeping the accounts in the Treasury adopted in accordance with instructions from the Controller and Auditor General in London, by which the amount of outstanding "Refund of Postage" for 1890, collected from other Countries by this Office in 1891, instead of being credited as in previous years to "Postage" has been passed to the credit of " Miscellaneous Receipts."
20. The number of local deliveries has been considerably increased. In the Town Districts letters are now delivered every two hours commencing at 8 A.M. and finishing at 6 P.M. In addition to these letters are delivered at private residences three times a day.
21. As I remarked in my last report the number of Dead Letters which have to be opened in order to discover the sender is considerable. The work would be greatly facilitated if the writers of letters would be careful to give their addresses, and to sign their names in full, as it frequently happens that initials only are given.

22. The Department lost two valuable Officers in Mr. J. M. E. MACHADO, who retired on pension owing to ill-health after 28 years' service, and Mr. A. M. PLACE, Marine Sorter, who died in the Government Civil Hospital after 21 years' service. These Officers were succeeded by Messrs. A. M. DA SILVA and T. A. BARRADAS.
23. The health of the Indoor Staff during the year has, as usual, been somewhat unsatisfactory. A large percentage of sickness is traceable to the unhealthy condition under which the working of the Mails and night work generally are carried out. In working the Mails it is necessary, in order to be free from interruption, to close the windows and the work is nearly always done by gas light owing to the darkness of the Post Office. In the summer months with all the Staff at work, the windows closed, and the gas full on, the heat and bad air are nearly stifling and cannot fail to be injurious to health. I would strongly recommend that the Office be lighted with the Electric Light. The Staff would then work in a pure and comparatively unheated atmosphere, and, I believe, that their health would much improve. I have lately seen a report by the Engineer in Chief of the London Postal Telegraphs, in which he says, speaking of the introduction of the Electric Light into the General Post Office, London-"We find in the Savings Bank Department of the General Post Office the cost of the "Electric Light is actually paid for by the increased service we get out of our Staff. The electric "light has diminished the hours of sick absence two hours per head per annuin. "10d. per hour, which is the ordinary over-time rate in the Government Service, means we save £680 That put down at 66 per annum.
Our electric light costs us £700 per annum, so our electric light is really costing us only £20 a year. In the General Post Office itself we succeeded in putting in the electric light just "before Christmas, and the Chief Controller told me the electric light enabled them to do their work
quicker than ever before, and that the light was equal to 200 men. Telegraph Company have had experience of the electric light in their Local Offices for nearly three The Eastern Extension years and their Manager assures me that he can fully endorse the above statement of its benefits to the health of the Staff from his own experience locally.

24. Now that the Cable to the Gap Rock is completed a proper system of signalling incoming steamers should be introduced. The present system is most unsatisfactory. When the Peak is clouded we have absolutely no means of ascertaining the approach of vessels, and the delivery of mails is considerably delayed in consequence. To get over the difficulty I would suggest that this Office be placed in telegraphic communication with the Gap Rock and Cape D'Aguilar. I touched upon this matter in my report for 1890.
25. His Excellency the Governor has appointed a Board to enquire into the question of devising means to stop the system of illicit Chinese Post Offices which prevails in this Colony.
26. It is hoped that additional Post Office accommodation will soon be provided to meet growing requirements. The matter is now, I understand, receiving the attention of the Honourable the Surveyor General.
27. The Postal Work at our Agencies has been carried on most satisfactorily by the Officers in charge. I regret to have to record the death of Mr. SAGE, who was in charge of the Swatow Agency during the greater portion of the year.
28. Reference was made in my last report to the probable establishment of a direct exchange of Money Orders between this Colony and the Dominion of Canada. I am now able to state that on the 4th June last, arrangements were completed with the Postal Authorities of Canada for this service.
29. A direct exchange has also been established between Hongkong and New Zealand.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,

Such schedule may be in the form in schedule A hereto.
3. Such schedule shall when completed be published in the Gazette and three copies thereof verified under the hand of the said Director of Public Works and dated the.. day of publication shall be deposited in the Registry of the Supreme Court and shall be open to inspection free of charge.
4. Such schedule shall be final unless the owner or occupier of any wharf or pier mentioned therein or any Crown lessee or his assigns registered at the said Land Office in respect of any of the lots of the land or sections thereof along the line of the said proposed Reclamation, who has signed the Articles of agreement contained in the schedule to the Ordinance No. 16 of 1889, shall, within a period of 3 months from the date of the publication of the said schedule, appeal to the Supreme Court in its Summary Jurisdiction in the manner hereinafter provided.
5. (1.)

COMMANDING OFFICER OF THE PORT OF WLADIVOSTOCK, 27TH MARCH, 1892.
TO THE IMPERIAL RUSSIAN CONSULATE, AT HONGKONG.
Being desirous to mark in the best manner the dangers of the Liman of the River Amoor, the navigation of which is rather difficult, and having found that marking the dangers with poles only is not sufficiently good, I have found it advisable to replace the poles by Buoys in the whole of the Liman. Besides the Liman has been divided in three sections, of which the Buoys are painted in different styles.
1. From de Kastris to Point Lazareff the Buoys are painted chequered.
2. From Point Lazareff to Point Prongue the Buoys are painted with vertical stripes, and
3. From Point Prongue to the town of Nicolayewsk with horizontal stripes.

[29th March 1892.] HEREAS the raising or keeping of a standing army within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in time of peace, unless it be with the consent of Parliament, is against law :
WHE
And whereas it is adjudged necessary by Her Majesty and this present Parliament, that a body of forces should be continued for the safety of the United Kingdom and the defence of the possessions of Her Majesty's Crown, and that the whole number of such forces should consist of one hundred and fifty-four thousand and seventy-three men, including those to be employed at the depots in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the training of recruits for service at home and abroad, but exclusive of the numbers actually serving within Her Majesty's Indian possessions :
And whereas it is also judged necessary for the safety of the United Kingdom, and the defence of the possessions of this realm, that a body of Royal Marine forces should be employed in Her Majesty's fleet and naval service, under the direction of the Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom, or the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral aforesaid :
And whereas the said marine forces may frequently be quartered or be on shore, or sent to do duty or be on board transport ships or vessels, merchant ships or vessels, or other ships or vessels, or they may be under other circumstances in which they will not be subject to the laws relating to the government of Her Majesty's forces by sea:

And whereas no man can be forejudged of life or limb, or subjected in time of peace to any kind of punishment within this realm by martial law, or in any other manner than by the judgment of his peers and according to the known and established laws of this realm; yet nevertheless it being requisite, for the retaining all the before-mentioned forces, and other persons subject to military law, in their duty, that an exact discipline be observed, and that persons belonging to the said forces who mutiny or stir up sedition, or desert Her Majesty's service, or are guilty of crimes and offences to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, be brought to a more exemplary and speedy punishment than the usual forms of the law will allow :
And whereas the Army Act will expire in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two on the following days:
(a.) In the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man, on the
thirtieth day of April; and
(b.) Elsewhere in Europe, inclusive of Malta, also in the West Indies and

(c.) Elsewhere, whether within or without Her Majesty's dominions, on the
thirty-first day of December:
Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

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.

in connection therewith.
W
HEREAS by The Praya Reclamation Ordinance, 1889, a sum not exceeding $180,000 was included in the costs of the Reclamation works now being carried out under the said Ordinance, by way of compensation to the owners and occupiers of the wharves and piers along the line of the Reclamation then proposed and now being carried out and such sum was intended to provide for compensation for the removal only of such wharves and piers, inclusive of the Government wharves and piers, along the line of the said Reclamation and not for consequential damages. And whereas difficulties have arisen as to the amounts to be paid in respect of the removal of the said wharves and piers and the periods for the payment of such amounts and it is expedient to provide therefor.
Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows
1. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as The Praya Wharves and Piers Ordinance, 1892.
2. Immediately after the coming into operation of this Ordinance the Director of Public Works of this Colony shall cause the value of each wharf and pier along the line of the said Reclamation to be assessed and as soon as such assessment is complete, he shall make or cause to be made a schedule showing the proportionate amount of a sum not exceeding $180,000 to be paid in respect of each wharf and pier. Such schedule may be in the form in schedule A hereto.
3. Such schedule shall when completed be published in the Gazette and three copies thereof verified under the hand of the said Director of Public Works and dated the day of publication shall be deposited in the Registry of the Supreme Court and shall be open to inspection free of charge.
4. Such schedule shall be final unless the owner or occupier of any wharf or pier mentioned therein or any Crown lessee or his assigns registered at the said Land Office in respect of any of the lots of the land or sections thereof along the line of the said proposed Reclamation, who has signed the Articles of agreement contained in the schedule to the Ordinance No. 16 of 1889, shall, within a period of 3 months from the date of the publication of the said schedule, appeal to the Supreme Court in its Summary Jurisdiction in the manner hereinafter provided.
5. (1.) Any person desirous of appealing as aforesaid shall within the said period of 3 mouths file with the Registrar of the said Court a written notice of appeal stating fully the grounds thereof and the proportionate amount he claims having regard to the total sum available and shall at the same time serve a true copy of such notice upon the Crown Solicitor.
(2.) On every such appeal the Director of Public Works shall be respondent and service on the Crown Solicitor on his behalf shall be deemed sufficient.

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 Furnames, will be published and sold separately.

BELILIOS to be an unofficial member of the Legislative Council in the place of the late Mr. RYRIE and I have to convey to you Her Majesty's confirmation of this appointment.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN,
Colonial Secretary.
II.M.S. "SEVERN" AT AMOY, 18 May, 1892.
SIR, With reference to Gap Rock Light, I have the honour to inform you that I left Tytam Bay at sunset on the 14th instant in order to observe it.
2. On sighting the Light when 19 miles distant (Height of eye 30 feet), I found as follows:----
(a) It is a Revolving Light, and its period is 30 seconds.
(b) The Light attains, and loses its greatest brilliancy rather suddenly, and at no time is
totally eclipsed.
(e) Within a distance of eight miles, a decided increase of the brilliancy of the dull are takes place every ten seconds (viz. twice between each period), the increase however is too slight to be mistaken for the periodical greatest Brilliancy.
3. The weather was clear and fine.
Commodore H. ST. L. B. PALLISER,

Sir,
Your obedient Servant,

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY, 15th April, 1892.
SIR,I have the honour to submit my annual report for 1891 to His Excellency the Governor. My seventh volume of observations and researches was published last summer and the eight volume is in the printers' hands. It contains the observations made in 1891.
2. The staff recommended by the Observatory Commission as a minimum, below which this institution could not be expected to do justice to the immense shipping interests in this great port, has now been appointed, but it is to be regretted that in the meantime the staff was so utterly inadequate. The work done during the past two years has unfortunately suffered in consequence, and no amount of expense now could possibly remedy the loss. Once a certain phenomenon has passed unrecorded the opportunity for observing it can never arise again, the same conditions being never repeated in the physical world.-Mr. F. G. FIGG returned to the Observatory at the end of October after two years absence on sick-leave, very much improved both in strength and experience, and lost no time in going over all the adjustments of instruments, revising reports, seeing them through press, &c. He has been overworked during the past six months, but has now succeeded in getting the work fairly up to date with the exception of information relating to typhoons and storm-warnings, which is several
in arrear.
years
3. The branch Observatory at the Peak, suggested by General PALMER, in 1881, declared necessary for storm-warnings by the Observatory Commission in 1890, and upon which improvements in local storm-warnings mainly depend, has not yet been constructed.
4. The China Coast Meteorological Register, based on information received from the Eastern Extension and Great Northern Telegraph Companies, was issued as usual and the stations in southern China are at present being visited and much needed improvements effected by Mr. F. G. FIGG and myself.
5. Telegraphic connection with Victoria was interrupted on the 11th January, 1891, from 1 p. to 3 P., on the 13th February in the afternoon, on the 21st July from 4 P. to 9 P., on the 27th July from 7 P. to 8 P., and on the 17th September from 3.30 r. to 3.30 P. on the 18th. Interruptions occurred, therefore, on 6 days and, of course, also during thunderstorms.-Telephonic connection between the look-out on the Peak and the Central Police Station in Victoria (for transmitting observations to the Observatory) was interrupted from the 21st till the 26th of May, from the 29th till the 30th June, from the 19th till the 22nd July, from the 3rd till the 4th August, and on the 30th August. Inter- ruptions occurred, therefore, on 15 days.
A
6. Telegrams giving information about typhoons were issued on 40 days. The Red Drum was hoisted 3 times, Red Ball 2, Red Cone (upwards) 1, Red Cone (downwards) 3, Black Drum 2, Black Ball 2, Black Cone (upwards) 2, Black Cone (downwards) 1, Lanterns (vertically) 3, Lanterns (horizontally) 2, Gun fired one round 2, and Gun fired two rounds 1 times.
7. During 1891, in addition to meteorological registers kept regularly at about 40 stations on shore, 213 ship-logs with entries during typhoons were copied. A number of log-books have of course been looked through without entries bearing on typhoons having been found. 15 were received through the Harbour Master's Office, 34 direct from the Captains or Owners, and 164 were copied on board ship in the harbour. For the latter purpose I am now using a pilot cutter which is fully as suitable and less expensive than a steam-launch. The ship-logs received in 1891 were thus distributed : for 1888, 3 logs; for 1889, 11 logs; for 1890, 31 logs; for 1891, 168 logs. But the information concerning typhoons in 1888, 1889, 1890 and 1891 is not yet complete. The following number is still wanted: for 1888, 17 logs; for 1889, 29 logs; for 1890, 28 logs; and for 1891, 71 logs. These figures refer to the 1st January, 1892, since which date a number has been collected, All the observations made at noon each day during the typhoon season are being reduced and tabulated at present, and are to serve in the construction of weather-maps, on the basis of which the typhoons will be investigated and their paths constructed.
8. 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, 22 thermometers and 5 barometers were verified.-Messrs. KELLY & WALSH have published a third edition of the "Instructions."
9. The following table shows the spectroscopic rain-band observel daily at 10 a. value for the year was 26.

10. The following table exhibits the rainfall in Hongkong for about 40 years. The observations were, from January 1853 till March 1862 made by the Royal Engineers. From January till April 1853 the gauge was 20 feet above M. S. L. and very near the ground. From May 1853 till April 1855 it was 20 feet above the ground. From May 1855 till October 1857, it was 100 feet above M. S. L. and very near the ground. In November and December 1857 no observations were made. Mean values have been entered. From January 1858 till March 1862 it was 35 feet above M. S. L. and 20 feet above the ground. From April 1862 till December 1864 and also in September 1874 the observations were made in the Government Civil Hospital. From 1865 till 1883 they were made by the Army Medical Department, and from 1884 till 1891 at the Observatory. From January 1865 till May 1877 the gauge was very near the ground and 43 feet above M. S. L. From June 1877 till December 1883 it was 18 feet above M. S. L. and very near the ground. Since 1884 it was a foot above ground and 108 feet above M. S. L.-If the figures were accurate the value of this table would be great. It appears that there is a little more rain when there are many spots on the Sun than when there are few, but the difference is too slight to be of any practical importance. After the end of April, there is always plenty of rain up to the end of August, but then the rainfall decreases quickly as a rule, and as it is moreover extremely variable during September and October, these months should be watched. a
When rainfall is defective in both months a drought may occur during the following six months, though it is sometimes prevented by heavy winter rains :-

11. The differences between each single month's mean values of the meteorological elements and the mean-monthly values taken from the 5-yearly report, printed as Appendix A, were taken and the following probable deviations determined by aid of the well-known formula :--
P.C..
Barometer ± 0·022 ins, Barometric tide ± 0·004 ins, Temperature + 0°90, Humidity + 3 Vapour Tension + 0.028 ins, Sun-shine 64 p.c., Rainfall + 2.76 ins, or in percentage of the respective fall 0-43, Wind velocity + 124 miles, Wind-direction + 9°, Cloud-amount 64 p.c. These figures furnish also a description of the amount of sameness of the weather in different years in Hongkong for comparison with other places, the figures relating to which might be calculated in the
same manner.

13. Months with pressure exceeding the mean are on the whole colder, drier and clearer than other months in which pressure is deficient. If the temperature exceeds the mean, the vapour tension as a rule does so also, but not the cloudiness. Excess of rainfall causes excess of vapour tension, which occurs together with increased cloudiness. When the velocity of the wind exceeds the average, the rainfall is usually also above the average. The temperature does not seem to be affected by the amount of rain. The hot weather preceding rain-storms is balanced by the cold during the rainfall. There is not much to be learned from the direction of the wind in this connection as the results during the N.E. and S.W. monsoon are treated together. They must be treated separately, but that is better done by investigating wind-roses. On the whole a hot summer follows a warm winter, and a cold winter is followed by a cool summer.
-
14. The following tables exhibit wind-roses for Hongkong computed from the three years 1889- 1891 inclusive. When the result depends on less than 4 days observations an asterisk is prefixed. At all seasons of the year East winds are most common-the Colony being situated within the region of the trade-wind, but from June till September, there is another southerly maximum caused by the monsoon. During the winter the barometer is high during N and low during S winds, but in the summer it is high with E winds and low with NE winds, which latter blow during typhoons, but it is also low when the SW monsoon blows. In winter, the temperature is highest with S and lowest with N wind, and in summer, it is highest with SW and lowest with E winds, but in summer, the direction of the wind does not affect the temperature so much as in winter. In winter, the dampness is greatest with S and lowest with N winds, but in summer, it is greatest with E winds. The air is

15. Mr. ROBERTS, of the Nautical Almanack Office, has harmonically analysed the hourly readings of tides published in my last volume and the results will in future be used in the tide-tables published annually for this port.
16. The number of transits observed in 1891 was 303, and the inclination of the axis was deter- mined 76 times. A new Standard Mean Time Clock was received in August last from Mr. JAMES BROCK, of 64, George Street, Portman Square, London. The works were very rusty when unpacked and the pivots had to be repolished. This was because it had not been oiled before packing in the zinc-lined case. The pendulum has the zinc and steel tubular compensation and a very heavy pendulum swinging in a large arc, which lessens the barometric coefficient, but there is an excessively large therinometric coefficient, the zinc being as usual too long. An Electric Chronograph has just been received from Sir HOWARD GRUBB, of Dublin, and is being unpacked. The Sidereal Standard Clock was taken to pieces and cleaned in autumn. It will be remarked that its gaining rate which had continued increasing for years, was changed into an increasing losing rate since it was re-started.

17. As stated in the time-ball notice published in the Government Gazette on the 10th January, 1885, the time-ball was not dropped on Sundays and Government Holidays, but since November last, we have begun to do so also on Sundays. It is to be regretted that the ball was not dropped either so regularly or accurately as heretofore and that this was due to lack of care and skill on behalf of the assistants, who attended to it. While Mr. F. G. FIGG, assisted in the Time-Service the probable error did not amount to more than Os.15.-From February 28th till March 3rd inclusive the ball was not dropped as the assistant did not attend to the work, On June 29th and July 1st, the ball failed to drop owing to the piston not resting on the lock. From July 4th till the 8th inclusive the ball was not hoisted as the covered wires in the electro-magnets had been fused in a great thunderstorm (although out of circuit). On the 1st August, the ball failed owing to a corroded wire in the reversing galvano- ineter. From the 17th till the 19th August, the ball was not dropped owing to repairs to the crank, which broke on the 17th when the assistant allowed the pawl to slip. On the 20th August, the assistant did not attend. On the 24th and 25th August, the crank was away for alterations and the ball could not be hoisted. On the 28th August, the ball was not hoisted as the current failed on trial. On the 2nd September, the assistant did not attend, and on the 9th, the ball failed owing to the discharge wire being broken.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH MAY, 1892.
18. Magnetic Observations made at the Hongkong Observatory in the years 1890 and 1891.
The observations, of declination and horizontal force were made with the unifilar magnetometer, Elliott Brothers, No 55, and the dips were observed with dip-circle, Dover No. 71. The observations were discontinued for some time while there were no assistants in the Observatory, but that is not likely to occur again.
The methods adopted in making the observations and in determining and applying the corrections are explained in Appendix G of Observations and Researches made in 1885; "On the verification of the unifilar magnetometer, Elliott Brothers, No. 55," the value of log K was 3.45020 at 29° cent. in 1890, and 3.44949 at 27° in 1891. The value of P was + 7.292 in 1890, and + 5.854 in 1891. These constants are now determined separately at each observation. The mean value of the magnetic moment of the vibrating needle was in 1890, 0.47120 in English units and 615.19 in C.G S. units, and in 1891, 0.465-43 in English units and 607.66 in C.G.S. units.
The times of vibration exhibited in the table are each derived from 12 observations of the time- occupied by the magnet in making 100 vibrations, corrections having been applied for rate of chro- nometer and are of vibration.
The observations of horizontal force are expressed in C. G. S. units (one centimeter, one gramme, one second), but the monthly synopsis exhibits X, the horizontal, as well as Y, the vertical, and the total forces, which have been computed by aid of the observed dips, and their values are also given in English units (one foot, one grain, one second) and in Gauss's units (one millimeter, one milligram, one second.)
19. 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 rain-gauge are placed in the look-out. The cistern of the barometer is 1814 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 8 inches in diameter and one foot above the ground.
20. The monthly Weather Reports are arranged as follows :---
Table I. exhibits the hourly readings of the barometer reduced to freezing point of water, but not to sea level, as measured (at two minutes to the hour named) from the barograms.
Tables II. and III. exhibit the hourly readings of the temperature of the air, and of the temperature of evaporation as determined by aid of rotating thermometers. Table II. exhibits also the extreme temperatures during the day reduced to rotating thermometer. Table III. exhibits also the solar radiation (black bulb in vacuo) maximum temperature reduced to the Kew arbitrary standard.
Table IV. exhibits the mean relative humidity in percentage of saturation and mean tension of water vapour present in the air expressed in inches of mercury for every hour in the day and for every day in the month calculated by aid of Blandford's tables from the data in Tables II. and HII.
‧ 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 trom 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 10 A. and entered to preceding day, but it is evident that the observer does not attend to the gauge every day.
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, but the direction is read off at the 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 observations of the direction (to two points) and force (0-12) of the wind at Victoria Peak.
Table X. exhibits the amount (0-10), name and direction whence coming of the clouds. Where the names of upper and lower clouds are given, but only one direction, this refers to the lower clouds.
21. The following annual weather report for 1891, is arranged as follows:-
Table VII. exhibits the mean values for the year (or 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 VIII of this report. The total amount of rain was 117.120 at the Observatory, and 128.66 at the Peak. The total duration registered at the Observatory was 917 hours. There fell at least 0.01 inch of rain, on 154 days at the Observatory.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH MAY, 1892.
499
‧
Table VIII. exhibits the number of hours during a portion of which at least 0.005 inch of rain was registered.
Table IX. 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.
Table X. 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 XI. shows the frequency of clouds of the different classes.
Table XII. is arranged as in previous years.
Tables XIII. and XIV. 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 XV. contains five-day means.
Tables XVI., XVII. and XVIII. contain magnetic observations.

Appendix A.
THE CLIMATE OF HONGKONG INVESTIGATED FROM
FIVE YEARS' OBSERVATIONS.
509
The Colony of Hongkong is situated within the tropics, but the winter is cool, its mean temperature being about 60°, whereas the mean temperature of the summer rises a little above 80°. There is a large and well-marked variation of climate, but it is very hot in the sun all the year round. Palm trees, rice and sugar canes grow here. Pomelos, oranges and pine-apples are among the most extensively cultivated crops opposite on the mainland, but do not thrive in the Colony on account of unsuitability of soil. About forty species of palms from all parts of the world thrive in the Botanic Gardens, and from temperate regions many coniferous trees thrive side by side with tropical palms. The conifers are from Japan, Queensland, the Cape, and India (Himalaya). The Norfolk Island Pine is quite at home here. Banian trees are common, and bamboos attain to great size. Vines do not come to perfection as the winter temperature is not low enough to harden the wood.
In spring, between the two monsoons, bronchial catarrh and pneumonia are prevalent. Measles, mumps and simple continued fevers are very common.
In summer, the dampness of the air is excessive. Europeans suffer much from prickly heat and similar diseases, produced in consequence of the heat and dampness. The Chinese are also very subject to diseases of the skin, especially the different varieties of Tinea. Malarial fevers and diarrhoea are the worst hot weather diseases, the former chiefly of an intermittent type in summer. They are worst in August and September, when the Colony is under the influence of the high-pressure areas preceding and lying to the north of typhoons. In these areas the wind is light and the air descending, so that it is stifling, dusty, and probably full of bacteria. Want of sleep during such weather tends to produce ancemia from loss of appetite and thereby lays the foundation for many diseases such as diseases of the brain.
In autumn, the dampness of the air decreases, and the temperature falls often rather suddenly when the NE monsoon sets in. This causes affections of the chest and catarrhs, but Europeans enjoy almost an immunity from phthisis while to the Eurasians this is an ever present scourge. Malarial fevers assume more frequently the remittent and bilious remittent type. Beri-beri is frequent among the natives, but cholera is never more than a minor evil in Hongkong.
In winter, dysentery-the dreaded scourge of the Pacific-occurs. This is the worst disease of the Chinese coast, and often leads to abscess of the liver. Small-pox is endemic and occasionally epidemic. Typhoid fever is very rare, but typho-malarial fevers are more common during the end of the winter and also in spring along the southern coast of China and Annam.
The most unhealthy places are situated in ravines between the hills, near marshy land or paddy fields. In such places, malaria is deadly. Between one and two thousand feet up on the hills the air is pure and fever less common and of a milder type, which is as a rule easily cured by quinine. It is more agreeable to live in the upper regions although the air is frequently saturated with moisture.
Table I: exhibits the mean height of the barometer reduced to freezing temperature of water, but not to sea level, with its annual and daily variation. For January-March inclusive, the diurnal variation is obtained from the last 4 years' (1885-1888 inclusive) observations only, but the annual means depend upon 5 years' observations as the monthly means for January-March, 1884, were obtained from readings made at 10a. and 4p. The entries for March and April at the Peak are the means of 4 years only. The data are of great practical importance as the diurnal variation although lessened in damp weather is not much influenced by storms. During the approach of a typhoon it is necessary to correct the readings for daily variation in order to know how much the mercury is falling.
Table II. exhibits the mean temperature. The means for 1884 were obtained from thermometers in Stevenson's screen, the readings being reduced to true air temperature. The hourly variation of temperature depends upon 4 years' observations only. The highest temperature occurs about 2p., and the lowest between 6a. and 7a., in winter and about 5a. in summer.
Tables III. and IV. exhibit the mean humidity and its variations. The latter depend upon 4 years only as far as the three first months are concerned. The relative values vary inversely to the temperature while the actual amount of vapour is greatest a few hours after sunset, and least shortly after sunrise. In winter, there is nearly as much vapour at the Peak as at the Observatory, but in summer there is less.
Table V. exhibits the average amount of bright sunshine. It is great in November, and small in February. The daily maximum occurs about noon, and there is more sunshine in the afternoon, than in the forenoon. The entries for January and February are the means of 4 years only. The percentages are the means of the 4 last years only.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH MAY, 1892.
Table VI. exhibits the mean rain-fall. The hourly values for January and February are the means of 4 years only. It shows also the hourly intensity, which is greatest about noon, and least about midnight, while the rainfall itself is a maximum shortly after sunrise and a minimum about sunset. Most rain falls in June and least in November. The proportion of rain at the Peak to that at the Observatory is as follows:-January, 1.687, February, 1.322, March, 0.998, April, 1.135, May, 1.125, June, 1.174, July, 1.161, August, 1.192, September, 0.843, October, 0.920, November, 1.507, December, 1.244, Year, 1.141. There falls on an average 4 more rain on top of the Peak, but in September and October, while the rain is chiefly collected during typhoons, there appears to fall less on top of the Peak.
Table VII. exhibits the number of hours during portion of which rain was registered. This was six or seven times larger in July than in November. Rain falls more frequently at sunrise than at sunset particularly in summer. The values for the two first months are means of 4 years only.
Table VIII. exhibits the mean wind-velocity. This is greatest in spring when the trade-wind and the easterly monsoon co-operate, and least in August when the southerly monsoon is blowing. At the Peak the wind blows nearly as strong during summer as during winter. The wind is strongest about 1 p.m., and least shortly after sunset. This causes during the hottest months of the year a secondary maximum of temperature shortly after sunset, which is particularly well marked during cloudy weather. In winter, at times when the North-east trade-wind blows strongly, its force is often greatest at night, or during the early morning hours. The diurnal variation for January and February is the mean of four years only.
Table IX. exhibits the mean wind direction. This veers from ENE in November to S in August and veers daily from the hour of minimum till the hour of maximum temperature. The daily variation is greatest in summer when the wind is light. The diurnal variation for January and February is the mean of four years only.
Table X. exhibits the four yearly means
(1885-1888 inclusive) of total annual amount, duration and velocity of winds from different quarters. Three quarters of it comes from E and NE.
Table XI. shows that fogs are common in March and occur also during typhoons in August and September. Electric phenomena prevail in August. Unusual visibility of distant objects prevails when the air is frequently cleared from dust by heavy rain in July. Dew is common in August, when also halos and coronas are most frequent. Rainbows are comparatively rare in hot countries, where the rain is so heavy and the sun usually too high in the sky.
Table XII. shows cumulus to be the common cloud in China. Cirrus is most frequent during typhoons and Cumulo-stratus during the hottest part of the
year.
Table XIII. shows the amount of clouds. That is greatest in March and least in December. On an average there are more clouds at sunrise than about midnight. But looking at the different seasons, it is seen that in summer the amount is greatest in the afternoon and least about midnight, while in winter the amount is greatest during the early morning hours and least in the afternoon.
Table XIV, exhibits montbly extremes registered at the Observatory. extreme temperatures are derived from 4 years only (1885-1888). The wind velocity in January and February is derived from the same 4 years. The minimum temperature on grass for July and August is derived from four years (1884-1887) only, and also the solar radiation (1885-1888). The range of vapour tension is seen to be enormous. The daily maximum of rain was exceeded in 1889, when there fell 27.080 inches of rain between 7.30 a. on the 29th May and the same time on the 30th.
Table XV. exhibits the same data for the Peak. The solar and terrestrial radiation extremes are derived from 4 years only (1885-1888). It will be remarked that the minimum thermometer exposed an inch above the grass registered below freezing point. That never occurs at sea-level in Hongkong, but a little farther inland, as at Canton, frost is not unknown.
Table XVI. exhibits various data. The barometric tide is large in winter (when the air is dry) and small in summer (when it is damp). The mean diurnal variability of temperature-the mean of the This as well as the mean differences of temperature of each day and the next-is greatest in winter.
maxima and minima temperatures at the Observatory are the means of four years only (1885-1888). The number of days on which at least 0.01 inch of rain fell at the Observatory was a minimum in November and a maximum in June and July. The hourly intensity of rain is greatest in July, and least in February. The directions whence clouds in different levels come together with the wind directions given in Table IX. prove the direction of the wind to veer on ascending in the atmosphere. The height of the lower clouds is least in April and greatest in November.
Table XVII. exhibits the average results of the radiation thermometers and the diurnal range of temperature. The rate at which the temperature falls on ascending in the atmosphere is least in March, when the relative humidity is great and the clouds are low, and greatest in June. The solar radiation at the Observatory is the mean of 4 years (1885-1888) and also for January at the Peak. The diurnal range of temperature at the Observatory is the mean of the same four years.

THE HONGKong goverNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH MAY, 1892.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 248.
The following Report of the Sanitary Superintendent for 1891, which was laid before the Legisla- tive Council on the 11th ultimo, is published."
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 26th May, 1892.
G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.
SANITARY BOARD ROOM, HONGKONG, 29th March, 1892.
GENTLEMEN,-I have the honour to submit this, the third annual report, year 1891, concerning the work done by the Sanitary Department.
DRAINAGE WORKS.
2. In addition to the work 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 at which the work of re-drainage has been completed.
3. It has not unfrequently happened during the year that comparatively new pipe-drains have become choked chiefly through their misuse. The Inspectors continue to assist house-holders to clear such choked drains and in doing so they always take care to explain that they do it to assist and in- struct the house-holders and that it is no part of their regular duties to do such work. I am inclined to think there is still an impression among certain house-holders that every house that has been drained according to plans which have been passed by the Board's Surveyor is drained in the most approved manner whereas the plans are simply passed as being in accordance with the drainage bye-laws. No doubt a considerable number of these plans could be much improved in detail and still be in accordance with the bye-laws. This is a point in connection with house-drainage which it is very desirable should be clearly and distinctly understood by all who are in any way interested in the matter.
MARKETS AND SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
4. The remarks made in my reports of 1889 and 1890 under this head are for all practical purposes applicable to the past year. There was no case of communicable cattle disease of a serious character reported during the year and only a very few cases of death from other causes are known to have taken place.
MORTALITY STATISTICS.
5. The attached tabular statements (B) show-
(a) The death rate for 1891 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 excluded. (b) The number of deaths occurring under each of the seven groups into which it has been deemed expedient--in view of the system of death registration in vogue--to 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-1887 to 1891 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 cach month for the past five years together with the death rate for the estimated population,
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH MAY, 1892.
6. The attached diagrams show-
521
(a) The number of deaths which occurred each month under each of the groups referred to
above.
(b) The mean temperature for each month.
(e) The rain-fall for each month.
(d) The number of deaths registered during each month of the years 1887 to 1891 as also
the mean temperature and rainfall.
7. It will be observed that the number of deaths registered during 1891 is very considerably more than in 1889 and 1890 and that an increase appears under all the group headings except "throat affections and "fevers."
8. The death rates for the year have been calculated from the figures obtained by the Census taken in May. The estimated monthly increase to the population is based on the average annual increase shown in the Registrar General's last Census report as having taken place between the
1891.
years 1857 and
9. The number of deaths registered as occurring from infantile convulsive diseases and marasmus is more than a fourth of the total deaths registered during the year. The majority of the deaths. registered as being caused by these diseases occurred during the first month of life and nearly all during the first year. This relatively large infantile mortality indicates insanitary conditions in the surround- ings, nursing, or treatment of the infants in some form.
10. The remarks made in last year's report having reference to the registration of the actual causes of death are still applicable inasmuch as no improvement, so far as the Chinese community is concerned, has taken place in this branch of death registration.
HEALTH DISTRICTS.
11. In addition to the daily routine work much time was taken up in acquiring the information which it was deemed necessary to obtain when the question of enforcing the common lodging house bye-laws was under consideration, and the amount of work done by the Inspectors in obtaining this information is shown in the tabular statements laid before the Board on the 6th November. This work greatly interfered with the house-to-house inspection which it is necessary to make to complete the register of the sanitary condition of each house in the Colony which I mentioned in my last annual report. One hundred and thirty-six of more or less pronounced nuisances were dealt with during the year. This number does not include the many petty nuisances which the Inspectors have daily to speak to house-holders about.
12. Fifty-five cases of infectious disease have been reported during the year and in each case where they occurred on shore or in Chinese-vessels, the necessary disinfection of the premises, bedding, clothing, &c., has been carried out as far as it is practicable to do so under present conditions. I stated in my last report that I would submit a special report on the subject of disinfecting infected premises. The matter has not been forgotten, but pressure of work has prevented me from dealing with the question thoroughly, and consequently I have been compelled to let it stand over; but I hope to be able soon to take the matter in hand.
CONTRACTS.
13. A tabular statement (E) is appended showing the number of men employed by each of the contractors as well as the estimated number of nightmen employed by house-holders in Victoria, and also the estimated quantities of night-soil, house refuse, trade refuse, street sweepings, &c., which were removed from Victoria, Hill, and Kaulung Districts during the year. On the whole, the various contractors have performed their work in a satisfactory manner. Some of the contracts expire at the end of the present year and others in the beginning of next year. On entering into the new contracts such amendments can be made to the conditions of the contracts as the experience gained during the past three years has shown to be desirable and necessary.

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.

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.

BOTANIC GARDENS, HONGKONG, 25th May, 1892.
SIR,-I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on this Department for the year 1891.
2. In addition to the average number of minor changes in the staff Mr. A. B. WESTLAND, Head Gardener, who had been absent on leave since March, 1890, was, in August, 1891, while he was in England, transferred to an appointment at the Taj Mahal Gardens in India. Mr. W. J. TUTCHER was appointed from Kew Gardens to succeed Mr. WESTLAND as Assistant in this Department; he arrived in Hongkong and assumed the duties of his office on the 14th December.
3. In October the post of Watchman in the Gardens was abolished, and the post of an Assistant Clerk was created, the pay of the former, with a slight increase, being available for the wages of the latter, an arrangement which has worked well and been of much benefit to the department. The Assistant Clerk, with his education in English, is beginning to acquire a fair knowledge of plant names, which should be of considerable value to the service, as he is available occasionally for out-door services as well as indoor work.
4. The New Building, which includes accommodation for the Herbarium, Library, Offices and Store-rooms and Residence for the Superintendent was commenced in the early part of the year and is now completed and occupied. The facilities for conducting the business of the department are thereby greatly improved, and the collection of dried plants and the library, which are accommodated in the Herbarium room, will be much better preserved than in the unsuitable building where they were pre- viously housed.
BOTANIC GARDENS.
Nursery.
5. In addition to ordinary routine work the erection of the new building on the site of the nursery occasioned a great deal of extra work, which extended through the whole year, in removing the stock of plants in pots, plant houses, sheds, &c., to a new site which had to be prepared adjacent to the old
one.
New water tanks were constructed and a new water supply system was connected with the tanks which are situated within the plant houses and throughout the nursery. The tanks are so placed that labour of water carrying is reduced as far as possible.
Surface and underground drainage for storm waters has been well provided for.
Besides the plant houses which were removed from the old to the new site, an entirely new glass- roofed house 85 feet long has been constructed for the accommodation of delicate ferns and foliage plants which could not be satisfactorily grown without such a structure to protect them from heavy rains, winds, and cold.
Another glass-roofed house 50 feet long is in course of construction, the wood-work of which is being prepared by the carpenter during time when he can be spared from other work.
All plants which are grown for sale are kept in this nursery; access to the nursery from Albany Road will be very convenient to the public when the old building is completely removed and a new approach made. The work of moving the old building is now in progress and it will be completed in a few weeks. I propose making the approach to the nursery through a fern-house to be constructed with an ornamental front abutting on Albany Road.
Lawns.
6. In October and November many lawns throughout the Colony and at Kowloon were infested with myriads of the larva of a small moth. The lawns in the Botanic and Government House Gardens suffered very greatly from this visitation, in many places every vestige of the green blades of grass having been completely consumed leaving large unsightly patches of bare soil. Many things were tried, including kerosene oil, sulphate of copper, lime, soapsuds, tobacco-water, corrosive sublimate, and
580
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JUNE, 1892.
"tea-oil" cake, but all, unfortunately, without effect. Most of these things were sufficient to destroy the larva when they could be reached, but the larva had a habit of secluding themselves under the creeping rhizomes and leaves of grass so that the liquids could not touch them. Hand-picking of larva, an extremely tedious operation, was resorted to by day, and by night large numbers of moths were caught in lamps which I had made for the purpose.
Chinese Ginger.
7. Since 1887 various references have been made in my Annual Reports to this plant, there having been some doubt in England as to the identity of the plant which yields Chinese ginger. In my Report for 1890 I endeavoured to demonstrate that the ginger used for preserving in Canton and Hongkong is obtained from the true ginger plant Zingiber officinale, Linn., and not from Alpinia Galanga, Willd., as had been erroneously supposed to be its source.
8. In reference to this subject, the Kew Bulletin for January, 1892, contained letters from Pro- fessor PERCY GROOM and myself, which I reproduce here, together with the observations of the editor of the Bulletin, from which it will be seen that the question is considered as set at rest, there being no longer any doubt that the true ginger plant, Zingiber officinale, Linn., is the source of the article used for preserving.
BY THE EDITOR OF Kew Bulletin.
In the Kew Bulletin for January, 1891, p. 5, there was discussed in some detail the origin of the preserved ginger received from China. From specimens of living plants received at Kew from Mr. G. M. H. PLAYFAIR, Her Majesty's Consul at Swatow, in 1878, it was concluded that the plant yielding Chinese ginger was something different from the ordinary ginger plant (Zingiber officinale). The prominence given to the subject in the Bulletin has led to further investigation, and the fact would appear now to be established that Chinese ginger, in spite of the superficial difference in the appearance of the large flat finger like masses' as compared with West Indian and other commercial ginger, is undoubtedly produced by Zingiber officinale. The plants received from Mr. PLAYFAIR have been shown to belong to Alpinia Galanga, Willd.
It is probable that none of the preserved ginger received in this country is derived from the latter plant. Mr. PLAYFAIR evidently took some trouble in the matter, and he forwarded plants given him at Swatow as Chinese ginger. It is clear, however, that in some way a mistake was made in the selec- tion of the plant desired, for which Mr. PLAYFAIR himself was only indirectly responsible. The further identification of the Chinese ginger of commerce is carefully discussed in the following papers and correspondence :---
Superintendent, Botanical Department, Hongkong, to Royal Gardens, Kew.
BOTANIC GARDENS, HONGKONG, April 9th, 1891.
MY DEAR SIR,-I was much interested in reading the article on Chinese ginger in the January number of the Kew Bulletin, but, with all due deference to the workers in the subject, I am afraid that the conclusion arrived at is erroneous. I have not seen anything which to me is evidence that Alpinia Galanga, Willd., is a source of Chinese preserved ginger. I have never entertained any doubt that Zingiber officinale, Linn., supplied the material solely used in the manufacture of preserved ginger at Canton. It may be that the appearance of the rhizomes is different from ordinary ginger as grown in the West Indies, but I am inclined to ascribe any difference between the two to the result of culti- vation, and not to generic or specific distinctions. I believe that Chinese ginger is much more succulent than West Indian ginger, so much, as I have been informed by a gentleman here who has interested himself for some years in ginger, that it is impossible to dry the rhizomes sufficiently to render them fit for export in the usual commercial form, or, if it had been otherwise, dried ginger would have been exported from China long ago. The ginger used for preserving is, I believe, chiefly grown in the rich alluvial lands of the Canton delta, but the same plant when grown in mountainous districts, as I myself have seen, is much smaller, and is capable of being dried for local use, the Chinese ascribing much more valuable properties to it as a drug when grown in such local- ities.
I feel compelled to dismiss Alpinia Galanga, Willd., or any other Alpinia altogether from my mind as a source of preserved ginger, and I am inclined to think that Mr. PLAYFAIR when, in 1878, he sent to England a case of roots of Alpinia Galanga, Willd., as the source of preserved ginger, was deceived by the natives who supplied the plants.
From my somewhat extended experience with Chinese in various parts of the neighbouring Empire, as well as in Hongkong, I know how little reliance is to be placed on information supplied by the ordinary Chinaman in regard to plants. I would not withhold due acknowledgment of the usefulness of the natives in helping us to get at true information, but their aid should be regarded as

collateral; the investigator should himself sift and verify everything of importance. As bearing on this subject, I would draw attention to a passage in Mr. PLAYFAIR's letter of April 10th, 1885, (published in the Bulletin), where he says 'it has been established as incontrovertible by Dr. HANCE 'that the ginger plant never flowers.' I have no doubt that our late much lamented friend, Dr. HANCE, may have been assured by the natives over and over again that such was the case, but I have seen Zingiber officinale flower profusely in the Canton delta fields, as you have evidence of in the herbarium specimens which I sent to Kew a few years ago. I have often been amused by the insist- ance of Chinese that certain trees and plants never flowered, while not only the botanical character of 'the subjects alluded to contradicted my informants, but individual trees pointed out by them as never
flowering have been known to me to flower regularly.
I have sent, per S.S. Glaucus, a box containing rhizomes of Zingiber officinale and of Alpinia Galanga, Willd., the former obtained from a preserving establishment in Hongkong, and the latter from a plant cultivated in these Gardens, which Dr. TRIMEN sent me from Ceylon, and which was part of a plant that had been supplied to him from Kew from the consignment which had been sent to England from Swatow by Mr. PLAYFAIR, as I understand. I am convinced that when you see these specimens you will feel assured that the Alpinia rhizomes have not sufficient resemblance to preserved ginger either in appearance or taste to warrant the assumption that they are a source of that article. I showed a piece of the Alpinia rhizome to the people in the preserving establishment, and asked if that was the article they preserved; they indignantly protested against such an inference, and said the Alpinia was only used as a drug, but not preserved. I should not place too much reliance, as I have said, on the bare affirmation of natives, but we have the evidence of our own eyes to show that the Alpinia does not resemble preserved ginger.
C
So far as I have been able to learn, preserved ginger is made at Canton and Hongkong only. The Imperial Chinese Customs Returns for last year show that in junks alone the quantity of fresh ginger exported from Canton to Hongkong was over 6,000 piculs (a picul is 133 fbs.). Preserved ginger is manufactured in Hongkong to a large extent for export to the United States. Preserved ginger as understood by us is not made in Swatow. What is preserved there is made for native 'consumption, to be used medicinally or for cooking, and is exported largely to the Straits Settle- ments, and never to Hongkong. This kind of ginger is called Ng Mai Keung.' This, I under- stand, is an Alpinia, but it does not resemble the Canton ginger, and is, I believe, not preserved in syrup. The rhizomes of true ginger, Alpinias and Curcumas, are all classed generically by the Chinese under the name Keung. Alpinia Galanga, Willd., is Leung Keung; Zingiber officinale, Linn., Tai Yuk Keung; and Curcuma (turmeric) Wong Keung; and so on with other species. Now, I think that the native name of Keung, and the fact that the preserved ginger under consideration is not made at Swatow-which is 200 miles from Canton where it is made-will afford a probable explana- tion of some apparent mistake made when Mr. PLAYFAIR sent home what has been called 'Chinese Ginger,' which mistake, supposing that one has been made, has resulted in the dissemination of what appears to be misleading information.
I have taken the first opportunity I have had since the receipt of No. 49 of the Bulletin of fur- nishing you with this information, which I am sure you will be glad to receive.

WHAMPOA, CHINA,
November 19th, 1891.
DEAR SIR,--I thought you would be interested in having an account of some work I have done in relation to the source of Chinese ginger.
I told GARDINER some time ago that I had proved by an anatomical examination that Chinese Ginger is not Alpinia Galanga, and he may have told you-but I deferred sending information direct to you till I could disprove or corroborate FORD's view that Chinese ginger is derived from Zingiber officinale. There is no shadow of a doubt concerning the correctness of his views, and he certainly explains the origin of the error. All the zingiberaceous plants known to the Chinese are termed Keung,' which I should think would preferably be translated by some such word as 'Gingerwort.' Ordinary ginger is 'Tai Yuk Keung' (large flesh ginger); candied ginger is 'T'ong Keung (sugar ginger); dried ginger is 'Kon Keung;' Galangal is 'Leung Keung' (mild ginger); Curcuma is Wong Keung' (yellow ginger). In addition I find in the dictionary the following phrases which I cannot personally guarantee: Shang Keung,' raw (edible) ginger; Tsz Keung,' tender shoots of

ginger (edible). By officials whom I requested to ascertain all about the varieties of 'Keung,' I was informed the Shang Keung" and 'Tsz Keung' were the same plant, but were varieties, one being cultivated in a dry and the other in a wet soil. This is a good example of the variety of information one can extract from Chinese and from a dictionary. The dictionary gives 'Ko Leung Keung' as the zedoary.
Believe me, &c.,
(Signed),
PERCY GROOM.
P.S.-Please utilise the information concerning Chinese ginger as you may think fit.
[Enclosure.]
Recently it has been suggested in the Kew Bulletin that Chinese ginger is the rhizome of Alpinia Galanga.
Mr. FORD, in his annual report for the Botanical and Afforestation Department of Hongkong for 1890, casts doubts on the conclusions thus arrived at.
To decide the question, I first obtained preserved ginger (dry, and in syrup), and I bought the natural ginger from street vendors. The specimens thus procured all agreed in structure, but they differed from Alpinia Galanga obtained from Mr. FORD (a cutting of the original plants sent from Swatow).
I then caused inquiries to be made concerning the manufacture of preserved ginger. The manufacturers. stated that only one sort of plant rhizome was employed (Tai Yuk Keung), and no other sort of rhizome was ever mixed with it. In particular they stated that no variety of galangal rhizome (Leung Keung) was ever used in the manufacture of ginger.
Hence so far it was safe to conclude that whatever Chinese ginger might be, it could not be Alpinia Galanga.
It remained to test Mr. FORD's view that Zingiber officinale, Linn., was the source of Chinese ginger. At the end of October I ordered the head gardener of the College gardens at Whampoa to procure flowering specimens of the plant from which Chinese ginger (Tai Yuk Keung) was obtained. The flowering specimens thus obtained turned out to be a Zingiber; and Mr. FORD informs me that they are specimens of Zingiber officinale, Linn. I also had fresh ginger purchased in the market by my servants (for at that time of the year the manufacturers of preserved ginger have no fresh ginger). This agreed precisely in structure with the zingiber rhizome; and in both these rhizomes the starch- grains were alike (flattened discoid for the most part) and utterly different from the elongated club-like, almost rod-shaped, grains of Alpinia Galanga (Hongkong specimen). These two rhizomes also agreed in structure with those obtained earlier in the year, viz., the preserved and the natural ginger.
Finally I endeavoured to purchase other sorts of fresh zingiberaceous rhizomes in October and was unable to procure any. In all cases I was informed that the medicinal zingiberaceous rhizomes, and those used in flavouring, &c., came from distant parts and that only the ginger for preserving grew in the immediate neighbourhood. But without relying on this evidence, except confirmatory, it is safe to conclude that Chinese ginger is the rhizome of Zingiber officinale, as shown by anatomical observations, inquiries from the Chinese and observations on the flower. Mr. FORD, in his report, said:
"The Chinese ginger is apparently more succulent, and the rhizomes are of larger size than the West Indian article, but there is no specific difference in the plant.
It is well known that zingiberaceous rhizomes vary in structure according to the circumstances under which they are cultivated; for example, in hot-houses, the sclerenchyma in the rhizomes of Zingiber officinale and Hedychium carneum is replaced by collenchyma, and other changes are visible. Hence I can only suppose that Professor PERCEVAL WRIGHT was unaware of these variations, or did not allow sufficient margin for them, in the histological observations which he surely must have made before allowing himself to say that the large flat ginger like masses sent to this country from China differed from anything that the ordinary ginger plant (Zingiber officinale) could produce.'

Sale of Plants.
11. Owing to the change of sites of the nursery the maintenance of plants for sale was carried on under considerable inconvenience but about the average number, viz., 1,884, of plants were sold and they realised $343.77. In addition to the requirements of the Colony for ornamental plants orders are received from various Coast Ports of China and from Manila.
Loan of Plants for Decorative Purposes.
12. As in previous years plants for the decoration of rooms for public entertainments have been lent in almost all cases when applied for. There were 19 requests complied with and 2,746 plants were, lent, an increase of about 600 plants as compared with the previous year. The plants, as a rule, were carefully handled, and there has been little to complain of in any way. There being a separate collection of plants grown for lending the general appearance of the Gardens is not interfered with when the plants are away.
Visitors.
13. On 17 days distributed throughout the year, when there were the usual number of visitors in the Gardens, the numbers of all who passed inwards through the gates were carefully taken by work- men stationed on those days at the gates. The result shows an average of Europeans of 433 and of others, 1,809, making a total of 2,242 for each day. No children or amahs were counted. The greatest number on one day shows 3,982, of these 441 were Europeans. The least number shows 992, of these 213 were Europeans. The Chinese, naturally, greatly predominate. Appendix A gives the particulars of each day's enumerations.
‧
Herbarium and Library.
14. Beyond keeping in order the plants and books want of time prevented any material increase being made to the herbarium. There are a good many plants which have accumulated that are awaiting time for preparing and incorporating them in the general collection. So far as space for storing them is concerned there is now ample provision in the new building for many years to come for the reception of Chinese plants (to which the herbarium is chiefly confined) which may be presented or which may be acquired by other means.
15. The following additions to the library have been made, and I have to thank various con- tributors for Annual Reports and other papers connected with their establishments :---

Government House Grounds.
???
16. On the completion of the new annex to Government House advantage was taken of the opportunity when surroundings had to be put in order of re-arranging the whole of the ground up to Albert Road: New walks and drains were made around the new building and a new approach made to the stables so that the latter, by judicious planting, was screened from view as much as possible.
FORESTRY.
17. In past years when the Island was treeless except in a few restricted areas as the Happy Valley, Little Hongkong, and Tytam, and when consequently the choice of lands possessing fairly suitable conditions for tree growth was not so circumscribed as it now is large areas could be found where soil, water, and shelter-three important conditions which must exist where trees will flourish- were present, these circumstances enabled operations of tree planting being carried out on a large scale, but, as suitable lands have become scarcer by large portions being yearly brought within the planted areas it has become necessary to begin to gradually reduce the actual planting. Planting operations are regulated by water supplies which must exist for providing young trees with water as soon as they are planted. The time of year when the regular monsoon rains commence being too late for general forest-tree planting artificial watering must be resorted to when there are no showers to naturally moisten the ground. The lands within convenient distances of perennial streams having now been mostly planted the difficulty of carrying on planting operations is greater than ever, therefore it will be necessary to limit the work very much to such as can be done when early rains afford the desired moisture. I prefer to have general planting finished by the middle of May.
18. The development of plantations will, by their increasing demands for attention in thinning and protection, absorb any time of controlling officers which may be saved by a decrease in planting works, and they will need a slight increase of expenditure in protection, but this increase will be only a small sum compared with that saving which will be effected by the decrease in planting.
The revenue derived from thinnings of plantations will more than meet the increase for protection. 19. Natural regeneration, which costs nothing but its protection, is making considerable progress now that it has been possible to exert a large controlling influence over the inhabitants who at one time were in the habit of cutting for firewood nearly everything which was worth carrying away. The natural regeneration which is going on is produced by offshoots from stumps of trees and shrubs formerly cut down, and from seeds naturally distributed.
20. Simultaneously with the filling up of treeless land, and increased difficulty of planting caused by want of water, nursery lands in which trees are reared are yearly becoming more sterile and in- capable, in spite of manuring and alternate cropping, of producing robust, healthy trees. The Govern- ment not possessing any nursery land except in one place in Hongkong and one at Kowloon it is necessary to acquire from squatters every year land in various parts of the Colony for nurseries. There being so very little cultivable land in the Island, and so little of it at all suitable for tree nurseries, or which can be rented, there has been no alternative but to use the same ground, after one or more season's rest, over and over again with the result, as I have said, of its having become almost too poor to produce vigorous trees.
21. It is rare for the Colony to escape in any year from typhoons which inflict more or less damage on trees, the year under review was not free in this respect, there being too typhoons, on July 19th and August 2nd and 3rd respectively, which laid low several large old trees, and damaged younger ones in streets and roads. On the hills some few thousands of pines and Tristaneas were forced completely over and laid on the ground, most of which were, however, saved by each being again fixed in the soil and provided with stakes, to keep them in place until new roots were formed.

Planting Operations.
585
22. Statistics are given in Appendix B of the numbers and kinds of trees planted and of the localities where they were place. The total number planted was 115,081.
Protective Service.
23. The protection of the whole of the Colony and Kowloon has hitherto been worked with not more than 3 Forest Guards, the present number, which for some years was sufficient to stop everything except petty pilfering of branches of trees, but now that plantations have so greatly extended and provided cover there have been many attempts, notably near Kennedy Road, behind the Happy Valley cemeteries, Causeway Bay hills, and at Kowloon, to clear away entire trees, but these depredations have been kept in check by numerous arrests, and, I am pleased to say, severer penalties imposed at the Magistracy on the culprits. It is extremely difficult for the guards to capture wood-cutters even when seen, but examinations in villages have revealed quantities of accumulated branches and tree trunks, and, fortunately, charges of unlawful possession brought against numerous villagers have resulted in convictions which, for a time at least, has secured trees from further damage or destruction, but the time has arrived when the adequate protection of trees requires that the staff of Forest Guards should be strengthened, which I trust it will be possible to effect in due course.
24. Out of 79 cases brought before the Police Magistrates by the Forest Guards 77 convictions were obtained, 44 defendants were imprisoned and 33 paid fines amounting in the aggregate to $104. There were 69 convictions in the previous year and the fines amounted to $26 in that year.
Grass Fires.
25. The year has been one of the greatest immunity from fires which has been known. Only 10 fires are recorded, and most of them were confined to the destruction of grass only. Fires which occurred within plantations were confined to very small areas, only 700 trees having been destroyed. There were 64 fires and 107,000 trees destroyed in 1890. The great immunity from fires was due to vegetation being less dry at the seasons of ancestral grave worshipping in spring and autumn when, as a rule, fire has hitherto been very carelessly handled at the graves scattered over the hills, and also, in all probability, partly owing to the exercise of more care in the use of fire in consequence of worshippers having been impressed with the importance of the prevention of fires.
26. Old fire barriers to the extent of 26 miles were cleared and 20 miles of new ones made during the months of August, September, and October, the work being completed by the commencement of the dry season, during which all destructive fires arise. Every year gives evidence of the usefulness of these fire barriers in arresting the spread of fires.
27. The unburnt remains of trees destroyed by fire in 1890 were all removed and sold as quickly as possible in order to prevent the inhabitants gaining any advantage by their being able to remove them for their own uses.
Thinning of Plantations, &c.
28. Plantations situated in various parts of the Colony in which trees had reached the size when they should be thinned were carefully examined and superfluous trees marked and felled. This work continued throughout the year and found constant work for about 40 men in the employment of the contractors who bought the trees. These men have now been drilled into methods which efficiently accomplish the desired work without going beyond limits which have been arranged for their control. Careful and constant, supervision is exercised to prevent irregularities of any kind being indulged in.
29. The total number of trees removed from plantations during the year was 58,991 and they realised $601.31. The total revenue for forestry products was $666.80.
30. The sizes of trees cut down in plantations made by the Government range between about 6 feet and 25 feet in height.
In older plantations, however, it has been found expedient to remove some trees much larger. 31. The addition of an Assistant Clerk has permitted, amongst other things, the statistics and accounts connected with this work being regularly attended to.
32. Appendix C gives the localities where plantations have been thinned, the numbers of trees removed, and the value for which they were sold. The trees being felled and removed by the con- tractor, the figures show net proceeds.

Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,

WILLIAM ROBINSON.
The Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of Twelve hundred Dollars, ($1,200), to defray the cost of Clothing for the Gaol Staff and Prisoners not provided for in the Estimates for the current year.
Government House, Hongkong, 3rd June, 1892.
WILLIAM ROBINSON.
The Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of Five thousand Dollars, ($5,000), as supplementary provision for the cost of passages and bonuses in lieu of passage, in the Police Department.
Previous to this year bonuses were paid by the Treasury out of the vote for Pensions, Retired Allowances and Gratuities.
In this year's Estimates the item "bonuses" was transferred to the Police Department and
coupled with "passages," but no corresponding increase made to the latter vote.
The vote now asked for is merely to effect a matter of account, as the Treasury vote will
be relieved by the amount added to the Police vote.

The Attorney General seconded.
Question-put and agreed to.

AVIS AUX NAVIGATEURS.
DEUX BOUEES SUR LE BANC DE BRITTO.
Deux bouees sonores, systeme Courtenay, ont ete placees aux accores NE et NO du banc Britto. Leur ligne de gisement est le N 71 O et la distance qui les separe est de 1 mille.
Les meridiens des deux bouees comprennent entre eux le banc tout entier, dont la physionomie reelle differe de cello indiquee sur les cartes-le grand axe du banc est oriente NNO-SSE.
La bouee du NE, blanche a 3 bandes noires horizontales, est mouillee par 12 metres de fond; celle du NO, blanche a 3 bandes noires verticales, est mouillee par 13 metres. Ces sondes sont ramenees au zero de la carte. De la bouee du NE on releve la pointe Kega au N 36 E, et le sommet S au N 18 Ouest. De la bouee du NO on releve la pointe Kega au N 40 E et le sommet S au N 16 O. Chacune des bouees porte en inscription le nom de Britto.
Les navires desireux de passer au Nord du banc de Britto devront laisser les deux bonees dans le Sud et ne pas se rapprocher de la ligne qui les joint en dedans de 200 metres afin d'eviter un eperon qui traverse cette ligne an environ de
la distance entre la bouee du NO et celle du NE. De la sorte ils ne trouveront pas moins de 13 metres d'eau.
Avec petite brise et une mer legerement ridee, on peut entendre le bruit sourd du sifflet a 1,500 ou 2,000 metres, avec jolie brise ou bonne brise, il ne faut pas compter l'entendre a plus de 4 a 500 metres.
BOUEE SUR LE BANC HOLLANDAIS.
Une bouee sonore entierement blanche, portant comme inscription Hollandais, a ete mouillee par 13 metres de fond a 2 milles a l'ouest du centre du plateau du banc Hollandais.
La position de cette bouee d'apres la carte 2471 est la suivante: latitude 10° 39′ 25′′ N ; longitude, 106° 21′ 31′′ E. De ce point on releve le sommet de 108 metres de Poulo Cecir-de-mer au S 71 E et le mont Guio N 35 0.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
TWO BUOYS ON BRITTO BANK......
Two Whistling Buoys (Courtenay's system) are placed at the N.E. & N.W. edge of Britto Bank.
Their line of bearing is N. 71 W. and the distance separating them is one mile.
The meridian of the two Buoys comprise the entire bank which differs from the ones on the Chart, the bank runs N.N.W. or S.S.E.
The N.E. Buoy is white with 3 horizontal black stripes and is moored in 12 metres of water.
The N.W. Buoy is white with 3 vertical black stripes and is moored in 13 metres of water.
These soundings are brought to zero on Chart. From the N.E. Buoy the bearing of Kega Point is N. 36 E. and the South Pinnacle bears N. 18° W. From the N.W. Buoy the bearing of Kega Point is N. 40 E. and the Pinnacle South bears N. 16° W.
Each Buoy has painted on it Britto.
Ships wishing to pass to the North of Britto bank must leave both Buoys south and not go nearer to their line of bearing than 200 metres, so, as to avoid the spit that crosses the line of bearing a third of the distance from the N.W. Buoy towards the N.E. by doing that they will not find less than 13 metres of water.
With a little breeze and moderate swell one can hear the sound of the Whistle at a distance of 1,500 to 2,000 metres with a good breeze one must not calculate on hearing it further off than 4 or 500 metres.
BUOY ON HOLLANDAIS BANK.
A Whistling Buoy entirely white bearing name Hollandais has been moored in 13 metres of water 2 miles West of the centre of the Hollandais Bank. The position of this Buoys taken from Chart No. 2,471 is as follows:-Lat. 10° 39′ 25′′ N. Long. 106° 21′ 31′′ E.
The bearing of Summit of Poulo Cecir-de-mer is S. 71 E., and that of Mount Guio N. 35 W.

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 cou- 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 following Finding of the Marine Court into the loss of the British Steam-ship Haiphong, Official No. 88,838 of Hongkong, is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Ilongkong, 23rd July, 1892.
FINDING.
G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.
We find that the British Steam-ship Haiphong, Official No. 88,838 of Hongkong, of which WILLIAM YOUNG HUNTER was Master, whose Certificate of Competency is No. 34,465, left Hongkong on a voyage to Yokohama via Swatow and Takow on the 10th June.
That the voyage was uneventful so far as this Court is concerned until June 27th. On that day at 8 A.M. the following cross bearings were obtained Oosima N.N.W. and Siwomisaki N.W. by. W. W. and a course then set N. 661 E. true.
At noon observations were taken giving a position of lat. 33° 33' N. and long. 136° 32' E. afternoon observations were also taken.
That soon after midnight the ship was supposed to be abeam of Omasaki Light and distant from it 16 miles and the Master not seeing the light which has a range of 19 miles in clear weather sent a man aloft to look for it but it was not seen.
That soon after midnight the weather began to get hazy but afterwards cleared.
That by the Master's calculations at about 1.50 A.M. on the 28th the ship was within the radius of Rock Island Light and also of Iro-o-saki at about 3 A M., but neither of these lights was seen either then or at any subsequent time.
That at 3.45 A.M. the ship stranded on the rocks about 2 miles West of Iro-o-saki Light and became a total loss.
The Court is of opinion that the casualty was brought about by the ship having been under the influence of an indraught current, which the Mariner is cautioned against in the latest Charts of this part of the Coast.
The IIaiphong, however, was not supplied with the most recent Charts (that in use being one in which large corrections had not been made for 13 years and small corrections for 10 years), and no ?mention or caution of this indraught is made on the Chart which was in use by the Master.
The supply of these Charts the Court is informed lies with the owners, but the Court cannot hold the Master free from blame for not having taken the precaution to see that he was supplied with the best Charts.
The Court is further of opinion that the Master would have displayed more seamanlike caution if when he did not see Omasaki Light or Rock Island Light he had considered the possibility of their being obscured by the fog or haze, which from the evidence before the Court they are led to believe existed rather than that of being outside.the range of the lights.
No use was made of the deep sea lead, though in other particulars the ship was navigated in a seamanlike manner, the reason given for the non-use is that, there were no soundings marked on the Chart in the place where the ship was supposed to be, but to the Court it seems probable that, the ship was at midnight inside of her supposed position, and that the light was obscured by the thickness of the weather, and if this is so a cast of the deep sea lead might and probably would have revealed the dangerous state of affairs to the Master. It is also to be regretted that the ship was not supplied with Sir William Thompson's sounding machine.
The manner in which the Log has been kept does not assist the Court in coming to a satisfactory conclusion.
The Court is finally of opinion that with the use of the most recent Charts and possibly of the deep sea lead the casualty might have been avoided; this omission, added to the fact that no allowance was made by the Master for current which was named in the Charts in use, also the want of caution previously alluded to, leads the Court to consider that the ship between midnight and the time she struck was not navigated with seamanlike care, and that this omission amounts to a wrongful act or default of which the Court must take notice.
The Court, therefore, decides that the Master's Certificate be suspended for two months from this date and it is hereby so suspended.
Given under our hands at Hongkong this 15th day of July, 1892.

:
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD JULY, 1892.

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

Ratifications exchanged at Muskat, February 20, 1892.
HER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, and His Highness the Seyyid Feysal-bin-Turki-bin-Saeed, Sultan of Muskat and Oman, being desirous to confirm and strengthen the friendly relations which now subsist between the two countries, and to promote and extend their commercial relations, have named as their Plenipotentiaries to conclude a Treaty for this purpose,
that is to say:-
Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, Colonel Edward Charles Ross, Companion of the Star of India, Her Britannic Majesty's Political Resident in the Persian Gulf;
And His Highness the Sultan of Muskat, in person;
Who have agreed upon and concluded the following Articles :--
1
ARTICLE I.
The Treaty concluded between the British Government and Sultan Seyyid Saeed-bin-Sultan of Muskat and Oman on the 31st May, 1839 (17 Rabia 1st, 1255), is hereby cancelled and declared void, and the present Treaty, when ratified, shall be substituted for it.
ARTICLE II.
Subjects of Her Britannic Majesty shall, for the purposes of this Treaty, include subjects of native States in India in alliance with Her Majesty. Such subjects shall enjoy, immediately and uncondi- tionally, throughout the dominions of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat, with respect to commerce, shipping, and the exercise of trade, as in every other respect, all the rights, privileges, immunities, advantages, and protection of whatsoever nature, which are, or hereafter may be, enjoyed by, or accorded to, the subjects or citizens of the most favoured nation.
They shall more especially not be liable to other or more onerous duties, imposts, restrictions, or obligations of whatever description, than those to which subjects or citizens of the most favoured nation now are, or hereafter may be, subjected.
660
THE HONGKONG. GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23rd JULY, 1892.
ARTICLE III.
The two High Contracting Parties acknowledge reciprocally to each other the right of appointing Consuls to reside in each other's dominions wherever the interests of commerce may require the presence of such officers; and such Consuls shall at all times be placed, in the country in which they reside, on the footing of the Consuls of the most favoured nations. Each of the High Contracting Parties further agree to permit his own subjects to be appointed to Consular offices by the other Contracting Party, provided always that the persons so appointed shall not begin to act without the previous approbation of the Sovereign whose subjects they may be. The public functionaries of either Government residing in the dominions of the other, shall enjoy the same privileges, immunities, and exemptions which are enjoyed within the same dominions by similar public functionaries of other countries.
ARTICLE IV.
There shall be perfect freedom of commerce and navigation between the High Contracting Parties each shall allow the subjects of the other to enter all ports, creeks, and rivers with their vessels and cargoes, also to travel, reside, pursue commerce and trade, whether wholesale or retail, in each other's dominions, and therein to hire, purchase, and possess houses, warehouses, shops, stores, and lands. British subjects shall everywhere be freely permitted, whether personally or by agent, to bargain for, buy, barter, and sell all kinds of goods, articles of import, or native production, whether intended for sale within the dominions of His Highness or for export, and to arrange with the owner or his agent regarding the price of all such goods and produce without interference of any sort on the part of the authorities of His Highness.
His Highness the Sultan of Muskat binds himself not to allow or recognize the establishment of any kind of monopoly or exclusive privilege of trade within his dominions to any Government, Association, or individual.
ARTICLE V.
Subjects of Her Britannic Majesty shall be permitted, throughout the dominions of His Highness the Sultan, to acquire by gift, purchase, intestate succession, or under will, or any other legal manner, land, houses, and property of every description, whether movable or immovable, to possess the same; and freely to dispose thereof by sale, barter, donation, or otherwise.
ARTICLE VI.
His Highness the Sultan shall be permitted to levy a duty of entry not exceeding 5 per cent. on the value of all goods and merchandize, of whatever description, imported by sea from foreign countries into His Highness' dominions. This duty shall be paid at that port in His Highness' dominions where the goods are first landed, and, on payment thereof, such goods shall thereafter be exempt, within the Sultan's dominions, from all other customs duties or taxes, levied by, or on behalf of, the Government of His Highness the Sultan, by whatever names these may be designated, and no higher import duty shall be claimed from British subjects than that which is paid by subjects or citizens of the most favoured nation.
This duty, once paid, shall cover, from all other charges on the part of His Highness the Sultan, goods of whatever description coming from foreign countries by sea, whether these are intended for local consumption or for transmission elsewhere in bulk or otherwise, and whether they remain in the state in which they are imported or have been manufactured.
There shall, however, be exempted from payment of all duty the following, namely:
1. All goods and merchandize which, being destined for a foreign port, are transhipped from one vessel to another in any of the ports of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat, or which have been for this purpose provisionally landed and deposited in any of the Sultan's custom-houses to await the arrival of a vessel in which to be reshipped aboard. But goods and merchandize so landed shall be exempted only, provided that the consignee or his agent shall have, on the arrival of the ship, handed over the said goods to be kept under Customs seal, and declared them as landed for transhipment, designating at the same time the foreign port of destination, and also provided that the said goods are actually shipped for the said foreign port as originally declared, within a period not exceeding six months after their first landing, and without having, in the interval, changed owners.
2. All goods and merchandize which, not being consigned to a port within the dominions of the Sultan, have been inadvertently landed, provided that such goods are reshipped within a month of being so landed and transported abroad." Should, however, such goods or merchandize, here spoken of, be opened or removed from the custody of the Customs authorities, the full duty shall then be payable
on the same.
3. Coals, naval provisions, stores, and fittings, the property of Her Majesty's Government, landed in the dominions of His Highness for the use of the ships of Her Majesty's navy.
4. All goods and merchandize transhipped or landed for the repair of damage caused by stress of weather or other disaster at sea, provided the cargo so discharged shall be reshipped and taken away on board of the same vessel, or if the latter shall have been condemned, or her departure delayed, in any other manner.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD JULY, 1892.
ARTICLE VII.
681
No article whatever shall be prohibited from being imported into or exported from the territories of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat, and no export duties are to be levied on goods exported from those territories except with the consent of the Government of Her Britannic Majesty, such consent being subject to the conditions that may be laid down in the notifications intimating the same.
.
ARTICLE VIII.
It is agreed and understood by the High Contracting Parties that, in the event of an arrangement being entered into hereafter between His Highness and the Powers having Treaty relations with Muskat, and to which Great Britain shall be a consenting party, whereby vessels entering the port of Muskat shall be charged with shipping, tonnage, or harbour dues, such dues to be administered under the control of a special Board for the improvement of the harbour and construction and maintenance of light-houses, &c. ; nothing in the aforementioned provisions shall be construed so as to exempt British vessels from payment of such shipping, harbour, or tonnage dues as may hereafter be agreed upon.
ARTICLE IX.
It shall be at the option of the British subject in each case to pay the percentage duties stipulated in Article VI, either in cash, or, if the nature of the goods allows of it, in kind, by giving up an equivalent amount of the goods or produce.
In the event of payment being made in cash, the value of the merchandize, goods, or produce on which duty is to be levied, shall be fixed according to the ready-money market price ruling at the time when the duty is levied. In the case of foreign imports, the value shall be fixed according to the market price at Muskat, and in that of native goods and produce by the market price at the place where the merchant shall choose to pay the duty.
In the event of any dispute arising between a British subject and the Custom-house authorities regarding the value of such goods, this shall be determined by reference to two experts, each party nominating one, and the value so ascertained shall be decisive. Should, however, these experts not be able to agree, they shall choose an umpire, whose decision is to be considered final.
ARTICLE X.
His Highness the Sultan of Muskat engages by the present Treaty to provide and give orders to his officials that the movement of goods in transit shall not be obstructed or delayed in a vexatious manner by unnecessary Customs formalities and Regulations, and that every facility will be given for their transport.
ARTICLE XL
British vessels entering a port in the dominions of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat, in distress, shall receive from the local authorities all necessary aid to enable them to revictual and refit so as to proceed on their voyage.
Should a British vessel be wrecked off the coast of His Highness' dominions, the authorities of His Highness shall render all assistance in their power to the distressed vessel, in order to save the ship, her cargo, and those on board; they shall also give aid and protection to persons saved, and shall assist them in reaching the nearest British Consulate; they shall further take every possible care that the goods so recovered are safely stored, and kept for the purpose of being handed over to the owner, captain, agent of the ship, or British Consul, subject always to rights of salvage.
His Highness' authorities shall further see that the British Consulate is at once informed of such disaster having occurred.
Should a British vessel, wrecked on the coast of His Highness' dominions, be plundered, the authorities of His Highness shall, as soon as they come to know thereof, render prompt assistance and take measures to pursue and punish the robbers, and recover the stolen property. Likewise, should a vessel of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat, or of one of his subjects, enter a British port in distress, or be wrecked off the coast of Her Majesty's dominions, the like help and assistance shall be rendered by the British authorities.
ARTICLE XII.
Should sailors or others belonging to a British ship of war or merchant-vessel, desert and take refuge on shore or on board of any of His Highness' ships, the authorities of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat shall, upon request of a Consular official, or, in his absence, of the captain of the ship, take the necessary steps in order to have them arrested and delivered over to the Consular official or to the captain.
In this, however, the Consular officer and captain shall render every assistance.
682
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD JULY, 1892.
ARTICLE XIII.
Subjects of Her Britannic Majesty shall, as regards their person and property, enjoy within the dominions of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat the rights of exterritoriality.
;
The authorities of His Highness the Sultan have no right to interfere in disputes with subjects of Her Britannic Majesty amongst themselves, or between them and members of other Christian nations such questions, whether of a civil or criminal nature, shall be decided by the competent Consular authorities. The trial and also the punishment of all offences and crimes of which British subjects may be accused within the dominions of His Highness the Sultan, also the hearing and settlement of all civil questions, claims, or disputes in which they are the defendants, is expressly reserved to the British Consular authorities and Courts, and removed from the jurisdiction of His Highness the Sultan.
Should disputes arise between subjects of His Highness the Sultan or other non-Christian Power, not represented by Consuls at Muskat, and a subject of Her Britannic Majesty, in which the British subject is the plaintiff or complainant, the matter shall be brought before and decided by the highest authority of the Sultan, or some person specially delegated by him for this purpose. The proceedings and final decision in such a case shall not, however, be considered legal unless notice has been given and an opportunity afforded for the British Consul or his substitute to attend at the hearing and final decision.
ARTICLE XIV.
Subjects of His Highness the Sultan, or any non-Christian nation, not represented by Consuls at Muskat, who are in the regular service of British subjects within the dominions of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat, shall enjoy the same protection as British subjects themselves.
Should they be charged with having committed a crime or serious offence punishable by law, they shall, on sufficient evidence being shown to justify further proceedings, be handed over by British employers, or by order of the British Consul, to the authorities of His Highness the Sultan for trial and punishment.
ARTICLE XV.
Should a subject of Her Majesty residing in the dominions of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat be adjudicated bankrupt, the British Consul shall take possession of, recover, and realize all available property and assets of such bankrupt, to be dealt with and distributed according to the provisions of English Bankruptcy Law.
ARTICLE XVI.
Should a subject of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat resist or evade payment of the just and rightful claims of a British subject, the authorities of His Highness the Sultan shall afford to the British creditor every aid and facility in recovering the amount due to him. In like manner the British Consul shall afford every aid and facility to subjects of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat, in recovering debts justly due to them from a British subject.
ARTICLE XVII.
Should a British subject die within the dominions of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat, or dying elsewhere leave property therein, movable or immovable, the British Consul shall be authorized to collect, realize, and take possession of the estate of the deceased, to be disposed of according to the provisions of English law.
ARTICLE XVIII.
The houses, dwellings, warehouses, and other premises of British subjects, or of persons actually in their regular service within the dominions of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat, shall not be entered, or searched under any pretext, by the officials of His Highness without the consent of the occupier, unless with the cognizance and assistance of the British Consul or his substitute.
ARTICLE XIX.
It is hereby agreed between the two High Contracting Parties that, in the event of an agreement being hereafter arrived at between His Highness the Sultan of Muskat and the various Powers with which His Highness shall be in Treaty relations, including Great Britain, which must be a consenting party, whereby the residents of a district or town shall, without distinction of nationality, be made subject to the payment of local taxes, for municipal and sanitary purposes, the same to be fixed and administered by or under the control of a special Board, nothing contained in this Treaty shall be understood so as to exempt British residents from the payment of such taxes.
ARTICLE XX.
Subjects of the two High Contracting Parties shall, within the dominions of each other, enjoy freedom of conscience and religious toleration, the free and public exercise of all forms of religion, and the right to build edifices for religious worship.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial practical use, and while alphabetically arranged Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in 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.

OF
· SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD
AT THE CITY HALL, HONGKONG,
On Saturday, the 20th August, 1892,
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, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 30th June, 1892.
The net profits for that period, including $30,996.58 balance brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and due amount to $763,590.23,
It is with much regret that the Directors have to recommend the withdrawal of $3,000,000 from the Reserve Fund to credit of Profit and Loss Account. This sum added to $124,236.88 taken from the profits of the working account is required to make up a total of $3,124,236.88 to be placed to Contingent Account in order to provide fully for bad and doubtful accounts. The Reserve Fund will then stand at $3,300,000.
After making these transfers and deducting Remuneration to Directors there remains for appropriation $629,353.35 out of which the Directors recommend a Dividend of One Pound per Share which will absorb $355,555.55.
The difference in Exchange between 4/6, the rate at which the Dividend is declared, and 2/10§, the rate of the day amounts to $202,989.90.
The Balance of $70,807.90 to be carried to New Profit and Loss Account.
DIRECTORS.
Mr. ST. C. MICHAELSEN, Mr. L. POES- NECKER, and the Honourable J. J. KESWICK having resigned on leaving the Colony, the Directors have invited Mr. J. J. BELL-IRVING, Mr. CARL JANTZEN and Mr. JULIUS KRAMER to join the Board which appointments require confirmation at this meeting. Mr. T. E. DAVIES has been appointed Chairman, and Mr. H. HOPPIUS, Deputy-Chairman for the current year.
INVESTMENTS, viz. :-
£100,000, 24 per cent. Consols. £150,000, 3 per cent. Indian Gov-

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.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on 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.

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.

P. TAKAU, S. FORMOSA.-The following information has been received from H.M.S. "Firebrand."
To cross bar, bring N.W. corner of Fort to bear E.N.E. Steer in on that course until North part of Saracen Head bears E. b N. when shape course through entrance. Flood and ebb tides set towards Southern shore. Care must be taken on entering to starboard the helm as soon as possible to avoid grounding on spit inside entrance. This spit is gradually extending to the Northward.
In mooring let go first anchor abreast Customs Flagstaff the best holding ground in the harbour. Pilots uncertain. A good typhoon anchorage.
From a tracing of a plan made by a former Harbour Master at Takau in 1890 the following information is gathered. The one fathom spit to Southward of the tower appears to have extended about ICO feet to the North Westward. There is a slight decrease in the depths over the bar.
The leading mark given viz. N.W. corner of Fort bearing E.N.E. appears to lead in deepest water over the bar, about 114 feet.

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.

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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 406.
The following Regulations are published :-
:-
In pursuance of directions received from the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to lay down the following Regulations, for the guidance of all Public Officers in the Colony, in regard to the acquisition or possession of land and engaging in agricultural and commercial pursuits. These Regulations are based on the principle that greater efficiency may be expected from an Officer whose whole energies are devoted to the Public Service than from one whose mind is occupied with the cares and anxieties incident to the possession and cultivation of land or to commercial enterprises.
(a) No officer shall be allowed to acquire or be a part owner of any land in the Colony other than a garden or ground attached to his dwelling-house, and not cultivated with a view to the sale of produce. He may not acquire or be a part owner in any concession in the Colony, nor within the same territory be the owner of house pro- perty other than a house for his own occupation.
(b) No officer shall be allowed to engage in commercial pursuits or purchase shares in any local land Company, or take part in the management of any commercial undertaking notwithstanding that he may have invested money therein.
2. The foregoing Regulation (a) applies to the holding of land by an officer in the name or names of Members of an officer's family. It does not apply to those officers who may become possessed of land or houses by inheritance or devise and not by purchase.
3. Any officer, who has acquired land or shares in a local land Company or house property (other than his own dwelling-house with land attached) prior to the issue of this Notification, must report the same to the Colonial Secretary within three months; and the Governor will decide as to whether it is necessary in the public interests to require such officer to divest himself thereof. Should an officer fail, within a reasonable period, to act in accordance with the instructions he may receive, he will be removed from the Service.

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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 421.
The accompanying letter and report from Captain BURR, of H.M.S. Porpoise, addressed to the Senior Naval Officer, in reference to the wreck of the Mail Steamer Bokhara, are published for general information.
By His Excellency's Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th October, 1892.
G. T. M. O'BRIEN,
Colonial Secretary.
H.M.S. Porpoise at
HONGKONG, 18th October, 1892.
SIR,---I have the honour to report that, in accordance with instructions received, I left Hongkong in Her Majesty's Ship under my command, on Friday, 14th instant, at noon, and proceeded to Amping in Formosa Island, arriving at 7.30 A.M. on Sunday, 16th instant, experiencing fresh N.E. monsoon on passage, and fog approaching the Formosa Coast, rendering it difficult to pick up the anchorage.
proper
2. After the ship had anchored the S.S. Thales was observed laying close to. for information with reference to the missing vessel Bokhara, and append the information I have been I went on board able to obtain from the survivors who had been brought from the harbour of Makung the night before by the former vessel.
3. I considered it advisable to embark the survivors-23 in number, 7 being Europeans-and bring them on to Hongkong, and therefore left the anchorage, with them on board, at 11 A.M. and decided to visit Makung harbour on the way, to interview the Mandarin in charge and thank him, in the name of the English Government, for the special kindness the survivors had received at his hands, and also to impress the importance upon him of sending parties to search for bodies washed on shore, and having them buried: also any cargo to be placed under proper protection to await further instructions.
4. On the Porpoise arriving at Makung at 4.30 P.M., found the S. S. Tai-wan in the harbour with the British Consul on board (Mr. WARREN). I communicated with him and he informed me that, up to the present, 34 bodies had been washed on shore and buried, 4 being women, which is the correct number of female passengers, viz. :-Mrs. CHANE (Missionary's wife), Miss HOLLEY, Miss CARNES and Mrs. CUNIFFRY, (a Stewardess was also in the ship). There are two other survivors on the Island of Pa-chau, (Europeans), taken there by junks from the vicinity of Sand Island; by the descriptions given of them it would appear that one is either a Naval Engine Room Artificer who was taking passage to Hongkong from H. M. S. Swift, or a Steward belonging to the Bokhara; the other one is not known, but is described as slightly built and young. Mr. WARREN intended taking them off the island on Monday 17th, the place not being far distant.

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 18TH OCT., 1892.
In view of this sad calamity not as yet being known in Hongkong, or indeed, anywhere on the mainland, in consequence of the wires having broken down for some time past, I decided to make the best of my way to Swatow to report as soon as possible the news to you by telegraph, so as to enable you to receive tidings a day sooner than my arrival at Hongkong, and then to proceed from Swatow to Hongkong, with those that were saved from this unfortunate ship, without delay.
5. The Porpoise arrived Swatow on Monday, 17th instant, at 10 A.M., and I sent a telegram to you reporting the loss of Bokhara.
*
**
*
I left Swatow on Monday, the 17th instant, at 3.15 P.M., and arrived at Hongkong this day at 10 A.M.
6. During the whole cruise strong N.E. monsoon with rough sea was experienced.
*

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Captain ANGUS MACLEOD, R.N.,
SENIOR NAVAL OFFICER,
HONGKONG.
J. LESLIE BUrr, Commander.
WRECK OF S.S. BOKHARA.
The S.S. Bokhara left Shanghai at noon on Saturday, the 8th October, 1892, experiencing a fresh N.E. monsoon, with following moderate sea, which continued steady until Sunday morning 9th. The Bokhara passed H.M.S. Peacock or Pigmy heading about N.W. and an Austrian Corvette going the
same way.
During Sunday afternoon the wind began to increase, the barometer to fall and weather was getting thick; the position by observation was obtained at noon; no land to be seen.
At 8 P.M. (Sunday 9th) the barometer shewed 29.88 and still falling, the approximate position being about 8 miles east of Tung-yung Island, and the ship's course was then altered to make Turn- about Island.
At 10 P.M. (Sunday 9th) the Commander conferred with his Officers as to the advisability of lay- ing the ship to, as the glass had fallen to 29.77 and there was every probability of a Typhoon to the Southward of the vessel. The sea at that time was very heavy and breaking over her. The "hands " were then turned up and everything was secured for heavy weather.
At midnight the glass was 29.70, and the Cominander had the sails furled, (reefed Foresail, and whole Foretopsail). The Chief Officer went on the bridge at 1.45 A.M. (Monday 10th) and reported everything was ready for laying to. The ship was brought to the wind, going slow, on the port tack, heading from between N. 80 E. to N. 50 E. and behaving exceedingly well although a mountainous sea was running. During this time the wind had been steadily increasing with furious squalls, the weather being so thick that only about mile could be seen all round.
At 4 A.M., Monday 10th, the barometer registered 29.60 and was still falling.
At 6 A.M. the barometer was at 29.55 and, daylight appearing, it was noticed that the water was very much discoloured, after which green water was seen, the lead giving 30 fathoms (mud and sand).
Under these circumstances the ship had reached far enough to the Eastward to put her on the other tack and work down the Formosa Channel until sea and wind should moderate, the glass shew- ing by this time (8 A.M.) 29.50 and the sea and wind being terrific. The ship was put at full speed ahead, and the helm put "hard a starboard ;" but she would only come up to three points from the wind and then fall off again, though repeated efforts were made to get her round, with tarpaulins and sails in the rigging to assist; the other sails on being loosed were blown to ribbons.
Attempt was then made to wear, but all to no purpose, the sea and wind being too heavy, so nothing was left but to wait for the weather to moderate.
2
THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 18TH OCT., 1892. 825
At 10 A.M. it was blowing a full hurricane, the rolls of the ship being so great that the starboard lifeboat was unhooked and rendered useless and had to be cut away for fear of damage to ship's side. The Smoking Room was stove in by a sea sweeping the quarter deck, hurling the jolly-boat inboard at the same time and carrying away lee gangway, etc.
At noon (Monday 10th) the glass shewed 29.27, ship drifting in a South-westerly direction, her head being S. 50 E. and beam on to the sea, the Commander putting her slow astern as opportunity offered. At this time a heavy roll to starboard took place shipping a sea at the same time carrying away all the remaining starboard boats and davits, and breaking in the Engine Room skylight which was battened down and which was resecured again. Oil was then put into the weather latrines, aft and forward, which decidedly assisted in keeping the heavy breaking tops from coming inboard.
At 2 P.M. (Monday 10th) a roll to windward lifted the port lifeboat out of the davits which was stove in, and carried clear of the ship, and the 2nd cutter at the same time became unhooked but was resecured, though practically useless: the only boat being left in the davits was the after port cutter.
At 4 P.M. (Monday 10th) the barometer shewed 29.15, but although the wind was blowing with terrific force, still very little water came inboard.
At 5 P.M. and 6 P.M. the weather remained the same throughout without any material change in
the barometer.
At 8 P.M. the glass was steady at 29.15.
1
At 10 P.M. three heavy seas broke over ship, breaking in after skylights, commander's cabin and engine room skylights and stokehold doors and wheelhouse, putting out all the fires below, the heat and steam being so great that it was impossible for the Engineers to get into the engine room or stokehold. The ship was now unmanageable with no steam and the Chief Engineer reported that it would be some time before he could possibly be ready: the lead was kept going, 25 fathoms being the average soundings.
At 11.35 P.M. (Monday 10th) the 3rd Officer called the attention of the Commander to a dark object on the lee beam; the land loomed up large through the drift. The Chief Officer came on the bridge and the reef was then plainly visible about 20 yards off. Nothing could be done.
Then the Commander said "Good-bye" to the Chief Officer and 3rd Officer on the bridge and left them to warn the passengers; his words on bidding "farewell" to his Officers were: "Good-bye, we have done our best to save the ship and there is nothing more that can be done;" at the same time shaking hands with them all. The Chief Officer and 3rd Officer remained on the bridge with the look-out men and helmsmen.
A minute afterwards she struck, grinding her broadside on to a reef extending the whole length of the ship, and heeled over to port; she again struck the reef with fearful force and, as she began to settle down, it must have driven the whole of the starboard side in. The seas in the meantime breaking clean over all and washed the whole of those who came on the bridge on to the reef, which extended 250 yards from the high land; those that were saved were also thrown in this manner on to the reef, being on the upper deck; of these there were 23,-7 Europeans, viz. :-Chief Officer, G. PRICKETT; 3rd Officer, T. JONES PARRY; 4th Officer, W. H. SWENEY; Quarter-masters LEWIS and WARD; Passengers, Dr. Lowson and Lieutenant MARKHAM, Shropshire Regiment; and 16 natives.
All the survivors are most enthusiastic in their praises of the Commander who behaved during the whole of this anxious time in the coolest and most seamanlike manner, and nothing could have exceeded the skillfulness and steps that he took for the safety of his ship and the lives of those en- trusted to his care. I may add that the remaining passengers express the same opinion of every Officer belonging to this unfortunate vessel.
The survivors remained at Sand Island all that night and until Wednesday at noon, when it was then fine, small junks came and took them all to Pehoe where they remained until Thursday morning (13th October), the Chinese Priest looking after them and giving them food, &c. Thence they were taken to Makung where they were well received by the Mandarin and were entertained in the most kindly way.
The S.S. Thales, that had instructions to seek for the missing ship, left Amoy on Friday, 14th, and went to the Northern part of the Pescadores, but finding nothing there, proceeded to Makung and then brought in the survivors to Amping.
The number of those that went down in the ship was roughly 125 all told.

Commander.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
MELBOURNE, 20th September, 1892.
SIR,-I have the honour to transmit to Your Excellency a copy of a Memorandum which I have received from the Premier of this Colony requesting that I should bring under your notice the intention of this Government to rescind the Proclamation of 21st September, 1891, exempting from the provisions of Part I. of the Chinese Act, 1890, Chinese arriving in Victoria with the intention of being immediately conveyed to another Colony and not landing in Victoria.
I am further requested to ask that Your Excellency may direct the attention of Shipowners and Masters of Vessels leaving Hong Kong to the fact that they will render themselves liable to penalties and great inconvenience should Chinese other than holders of Naturalisation papers be allowed to come in their vessels.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your Excellency's obedient Servant,

Memorandum for
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.
PREMIER'S DEPARTMENT, MELBOURNE, 19th September, 1892.
Mr. SHIELS presents his duty to Your Excellency, and begs to draw attention to Your Excellency's Proclamation of the 21st September, 1891, exempting from the provisions of Part I. of the Chinese Act, 1890, Chinese arriving in Victoria with the intention of being immediately conveyed to another Colony, and not landing in Victoria.
2. It is believed that under cover of this Proclamation the provisions of the Chinese Act have been evaded; and Your Excellency's advisers therefore intend moving Your Excellency to rescind that Proclamation. The recission, however, will not be made to apply to any Chinese who may leave China within three months from this date.
3. Mr. SHIELS requests that Your Excellency will be pleased to inform His Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong of the intended cancellation of the Proclamation, and also request that the attention of Masters of Vessels leaving that Port may be drawn to the fact that they will render them- selves liable to penalties; and that the shipowners will be caused great expense and inconvenience, should Chinese who are not bona fide holders of Naturalisation Papers be allowed to come in their vessels.
4. A copy of the Chinese Act, 1890, and of the Proclamation alluded to above are forwarded herewith.
(Signed)
W?. SHIELS.

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 ofChiua, 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 HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH OCTOBER, 1892.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 435.
The following Finding of the Marine Court of Enquiry, into the loss of the British Steam-ship Bokhara, Official No. 68,397, of Greenock, is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 26th October, 1892.
G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.
FINDING.
We find that the British Steam-ship Bokhara, Official No. 68,397, of Greenock, left Shanghai for Hongkong on Saturday, 8th October, with the mails for Europe, about 25 passengers and 1,500 tons of general cargo.
The ship was under command of Captain CHARLES DAWSON SAMS, and she had a full complement of Officers and crew.
That her draft of water was 17 feet 10 inches, and that she had a free board of 13 feet 6 inches. That she was a ship of 2,940 gross tonnage and her indicated horse-power was about 2,200.
That leaving Shanghai with a fresh N.-E. breeze, she soon found this increasing, and on the following day she was running with a fresh gale on the Port quarter having a reefed foresail and whole foretopsail set.
That observations were made at noon that day, but the result of these could not be produced to the Court.
That at 8 P.M. that day the ship was placed by D.R. 8 miles east of Tung Yung Island and that the course was then altered to S. 34 W. (true) for Turnabout Island, which, however, was never seen.
That wind and sea increasing and the barometer falling, the Captain, after consultation with his Officers, decided on "laying to," and the necessary preparations having been made the sails were furled and at about 1.45 A.M. on the 10th the ship was brought to the wind on the Port tack heading from N. 50 E. to East with the engines going dead slow.
That at 6 A.M. on the 10th, soundings were obtained in 30 fathoms (mud and sand) and that soon after it was decided that the ship should be put on the other tack to prevent her getting any further to the Eastward.
In coming to this determination it does not appear from the evidence of the surviving Officers that any anxiety as to the position of the ship with regard to the land was felt by the Captain.
That repeated attempts were made to bring the ship's head round to wind, the engines being put full speed ahead and the helm hard over, but she only came up a few points and then fell off again. Attempts were then made to "wear, but she also refused to " go off," and after these unsuccessful attempts the idea seems to have been abandoned, the Captain still believing the ship to be on the China Coast and not in a dangerous position with regard to any land.
At noon on the 10th the barometer was still falling and the wind and sea are described by one of the witnesses as "terrific." The engines had been stopped to prevent any forging ahead and the ship was laying beam on to the sea, which cleared her Port side between 10 A.M. and noon of all boats, gangways, bulwarks, etc., and during the afternoon other boats were washed away and further damage
done.
That about 9.45 P.M. three heavy seas broke on board which stove in the engine-room skylights and put the stokehole fires out and from that time the ship was at the mercy of the wind and sea.
At 11.30 P.M. land was suddenly seen close to on the sea beam, and the Captain, seeing it was "all up" with them, said "good-bye" to his Officers on the bridge, remarking that all that was possible had been done, and he then went below, it is supposed to warn the passengers of the condition of things. He was never seen again. A few minutes after this the ship struck on Sand Island, Pescadores, rebounded, struck again, and sank immediately.
The Chief Officer, Third and Fourth Officers, two Quarter-Masters, and 16 Lascar seamen were washed off the ship and reached the shore alive, also two saloon passengers. The remainder of the ship's company and passengers were lost.
The survivors remained on the island till the next day, when they were taken by some fishermen to the neighbouring island of Pehoe, where they were well treated by a native priest, and then to Makung in the island of Ponghou, where the Mandarin received them and cared for them with the greatest hospitality till they were taken off by the steamer Thales (Capt. HODGINS) and carried to Amping, from whence they were taken in H.M.S. Porpoise to Hongkong.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH OCTOBER, 1892.
845
The Court has carefully considered the evidence brought before it concerning this deplorable disaster, the evidence consisting only of the accounts given by the survivors so far as their memory serves them. Upon this evidence, the Court has formed the following opinion :-
That the loss of the ship is to be attributed to her being drawn over to the Eastern side of the Formosa Channel either through "head reaching" while " "laying to" or through a current setting more southerly than was expected and calculated for, or possibly to both of these causes.
That the Captain was zealous and unremitting in his attention to his duties, the ship was not run too long and the precaution of "laying to" was taken in good time. But we cannot help thinking that he committed an error of judgment in too readily concluding afterwards that the ship was drifting on a safe course, and that in consequence more strenuous efforts were not made to get the ship round on the starboard tack; though the soundings obtained and the observations made for the purpose of determining the direction of the drift seem to have assisted in confirming him in the belief that his estimation of the drift course and set was correct, and in this estimation he was supported by the opinion of his Officers. Assuming, however, that the position at 8 P.M. on the 9th was correct, and there is no reason for supposing otherwise, then allowing a speed of 12 knots with a set of 2 knots and another knot for "send" of the sea, the ship was probably making 15 knots an hour good. This on a course just clearing Turnabout (which was steered for but not seen) would place the ship at the time she was "hove to" about 21.5 miles S.S.W. of Turnabout. From this position to Sand Island is S. by W. 86 miles, and this then was the actual set and drift of the Bokhara during the 22 hours between the time of "laying to" and striking, being at the, rate of about 3.5 knots an hour, which under the circumstances does not appear unlikely.
The Court, therefore, feels assured that if the ship had been put on the other tack, or if means had been adopted for checking her drift and keeping her more up to the sea, this lamentable catastrophe would probably not have occurred. They come to this conclusion regretfully because they feel sure that if the possibility of the drift taking the ship as it did had presented itself to the Captain, no efforts would have been spared by him to extricate the ship from her perilous position. It is, moreover, to be borne in mind that the Court's calculations are based on present knowledge, which was not in the possession of the Captain and Officers at the time of their calculations.
The Court is further of opinion that it would have been well if, at or about the time of "laying to," the additional precaution had been taken of bending 'some storm canvas.
The ship appears to have been well found and not overladen, and though not so heavily powered as some more modern vessels, still she had sufficient power in proportion to her tonnage to make her a thoroughly seaworthy vessel.
Proper discipline appears to have been maintained on board. The conduct of the crew was, according to the testimony of the Officers, entirely satisfactory. The Court has also before it the voluntary testimony of Dr. LowSON, one of the two surviving passengers, to the gallant conduct of the Captain and Officers, in which testimony he is supported by Lieut. MARKHAM, of the Shropshire Light Infantry, the other surviving passenger.
Finally, we do not find that the loss of the Bokhara was caused by the wrongful act or default any certificated officer, and as no blame attaches to them, the certificates of the survivors are not dealt with.
of
The Court desires particularly to bring to notice the humane conduct of the people amongst whom the survivors were cast. The fishermen who took them off Sand Island, the native priest at Pehoe who relieved their immediate wants, and the Mandarin at Ponghou who, it appears, treated them with the greatest kindness and hospitality.
Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 22nd day of October, 1892.

HER MAJESTY'S CONSULATE,
TAINAN, October 25th, 1892.
SIR,-I returned yesterday from the Pescadores where I have been making enquiries in the hopes of discovering further survivors from the wreck of the S.S. Bokhara but I regret to say I have not been successful. I was not able to search all the islands on account of heavy weather and the small size of the steamer I was in, but the Chinese authorities have undertaken to search them as soon as the weather moderates. I fear, however, there is little or no hope of finding any survivors.
The men reported to me as being in Pachao Island were the sole survivors from the wreck of the Norwegian Steamer Normand lost on Tortoise Rocks on the night of the 9th instant.
I had arranged with the Chinese authorities at the Pescadores to bring the bodies washed ashore to Makung that I might bury them there in a piece of ground which the Chentai promised to give up to us as a cemetery, but I regret to say that the heavy gales of the last ten days have prevented all communication by water and it was found impossible to bring them overland. They have therefore been buried on the various islands where they came ashore, the total number buried being sixty-six.
I know that great anxiety is experienced in Hongkong as to the fate of the two survivors reported as being on Pachao and I have therefore thought it advisable to communicate to you the result of my enquiries.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,

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.

Objects and Reasons.
Objects. To empower the Supreme Court in its Probate Jurisdiction to seal probates or letters of administration granted in the United Kingdom and to give effect to them as if granted in this Colony.
Reasons. By the Imperial "Colonial Probates Act 1892" (55 Vic., ch. 6) provision is made for sealing in the Courts of the United Kingdom probates and letters of administration granted in British Possessions, but the Act is not to apply until Her Majesty is satisfied that the legis- lature of any British possession has made adequate provision for the recognition of probates, etc., granted in the United Kingdom; and has by Order in Council directed the applica- tion of the Act.
The present bill is, so far as regards this Colony, the reciprocal measure contemplated by the Imperial Act.

WE, the Medical Board, do hereby certify that A.B. has satisfied us that he has been registered under the Law for the time being in force in
(or that he holds a diploma or other document from as may be), and he is qualified or entitled to practise Medicine, Surgery and Midwifery in the such place (or country) that he is of good character that he has passed the necessary course of study and examination required by section 12 of Ordinance No. of 1892, and is entitled to be registered under The Medical Registra- tion Ordinances, 1884 to 189
Dated this

(Signed by the Secretary to the Board.)
1.
Objects and Reasons.
The object of the Ordinance is to amend The Medical Registration Ordinance, 1884.
Nearly all the amendments haye been suggested by the Medical Board.
The most important amendments are the repeal of sections 12 and 13 and the substitution of two new sections for them. The old sections dealt-
(a) with the registration of practitioners registered in
other Colonics ;
(b) with practitioners holding diplomas, &c., from any
University, College, &c.
An applicant under class (a) had simply to prove his registration in another Colony and on such proof to the satisfaction of the Colonial Secretary he became entitled to registration in this Colony.
An applicant under class (b) had to prove to the satis- faction of the Medical Board the grant of his diploma, &c., and that it was granted in consequence of the applicant having passed through a course of study and examination equivalent to the minimum course of study required in England.
The present Bill provides that applicants from either class shall prove to the satisfaction of the Medical Board, in addition to the proof of being registered elsewhere or of hold- ing a diploma, &c., the identity of the applicant and that the applicant is of good character and has passed through a course of study and examination equal to the minimum course of study and examination required in England, and places the law on a footing with the law in England with regard to Foreign diplomas, &c. The additional safe- guards now proposed are for the better security of those who have to seek medical aid. The remaining amendments are of minor importance.

BE
to Ordinance No. 1 of 1883.
DE it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof,
as follows:-
1. Section 45 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1860 is hereby repealed but such repeal shall not affect anything heretofore done thereunder.
2. Schedule A to Ordinance No. 1 of 1883 is hereby amended by substituting for the figures and words "25 cents per day" the figures and words "50 cents per day."
Objects and Reasons.
The objects of this Bill are twofold.
First. To repeal section 45 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1860 relating to the Probate Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. That section provides for the payment of the net amount of intestates' estate from $100 and upwards to the Colonial Treasurer and for the keeping of accounts by him, &c. As a matter of practice the section has been constantly ignored and for a period of about 20 years, the accounts of these estates have been regulated by departmental instruc- tions. These instructions have worked well in practice and are deemed satisfactory. They are, however, incon- sistent with the provisions of section 45. The necessity for the repeal is therefore obvious.
Secondly.-To amend schedule A to Ordinance No. 1. of 1883 relating to distraints for rent. By that schedule a fee of 25 cents per day is allowed for a watchman in charge of a house or premises under distraint. The fee is found too small to secure the services of a respectable Chinaman. It is therefore proposed to raise it to 50 cents per day and by amending the Ordinance to legalize the change.

REPORT ON THE WIDOWS' AND ORPHANS' FUND
for the 12 months, from 1st July, 1891, to 30th June, 1892.
SIR,-We have the honour to submit the following report on the Widows' and Orphans' Fund for the period between 1st July, 1891, and 30th June, 1892.
The Fund was inaugurated under instructions from the Secretary of State for the Colonies contained in his despatch No. 110 of the 19th June, 1890, by which contribution to the Fund was made compulsory on all Officers appointed to the Service after the 31st December, 1890, and on those Officers not appointed from England who received an increase of 20% to their salaries under the recent scheme of general increase to the salaries of public Officers in this Colony.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 893
Owing to the fact that the new rates of pay for 1891 were not sanctioned in the Colony until June in the same year, no contributions towards the Fund were collected until the beginning of July, although The Widows' and Orphans' Pensions Ordinance, No. 30 of 1890, came into operation on the 1st of January, 1891.
The Fund, therefore, practically began its existence in July, 1891, although arrears of contri- butions have been, and are being, collected as from the 1st of January in that year.
A statement of the accounts of the Fund up to 30th June, 1892, is appended.
The whole of the receipts have been placed on fixed deposit in the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, and each monthly collection is similarly dealt with.
The monthly contributions excluding arrears amount now to about $440.
During the period under review 4 Contributors left the Service, and 1 Contributor died. There are at present on the books 91 Compulsory Contributors and 1 Voluntary Contributor.
Of these 92 Contributors 22 are bachelors, 62 are married men, and 7 are widowers. There are no less than 111 children on the books, and it is probable that that number will be increased when the particulars required by section 20 of the Ordinance are received from 8 Contributors, who owing to their absence from the Colony or for other reasons have not as yet furnished them.
The average age of the three classes of Contributors (as far as it has been possible to calculate it) is as follows:-
Bachelors,........ Married men, Widowers,
.30 years.
..a fraction under 38 years.
....48
years and 4 months.

4th August, 1892.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 217 of the 18th of June, and to convey to you my approval of the vote of Rs 10,000, which has been passed by the Legislative Council in aid of the sufferers by the recent hurricane in Mauritius.
It has given Her Majesty's Government much pleasure to note both the sympathy which has been so warmly expressed towards the Colony of Mauritius under this heavy calamity, and the assistance which has been on all sides so readily and generously extended to relieve the distress of the sufferers, and there can be no doubt that that sympathy and assistance will be fully appreciated by the Government and community of Mauritius.

KOWLOON WATER SUPPLY.
SIR, I bave the honour to report that in November last active operations were commenced for testing the yield of the well marked No. 1 on Plan* sunk under the direction of Mr. OSBERT CHADWICK, C.M.G., in 1890, and described in his report dated 14th of May, 1890, on the proposed water supply for British Kowloon.
2. From this well Mr. CHADWICK proposed to derive the water necessary for a complete supply to the Kowloon Peninsula, but as will be seen from his report in the event of sufficient water not being obtainable from it he proposed to supplement the supply by sinking further wells in the same locality but in different watersheds.
3. I now propose to briefly describe the experiments and further works that have been carried out during the last dry season with the object of ascertaining the quantity of water obtainable from this source during the dry season of the year.
4. A turbine pump capable of delivering 400,000 gallons per diem was obtained from England and erected in the well. This pump was actuated by a portable engine (a portion of the plant previously used in the construction of the Tytam water works). Every thing was in readiness and pumping commenced early in November.
5. It was soon found, however, that the brick steining of the well resting on a metal curb entering the impervious clayey stratum underlying the coarse silicious sand prevented the entry of water into the well. In fact, the well was practically a sump, and the supply of water to this sump must depend entirely (no springs existing in the bottom of it) on the measures adopted for intercepting the waters of the valley with which the ground for some distance around was more than saturated to the very surface, the surplus waters flowing by in a stream.
6. On piercing the steining of the well a few feet from the bottom a copious supply of water was immediately obtained, and the water in the well rapidly rose to the same level as that outside.
This flow of water into the well, as was to be expected, brought with it large quantities of sand, and it was evident that some less crude method must be resorted to before pumping for any length of time without endangering the staging carrying the pump and gear could be resorted to. Further, the sand contains a good deal of clayey matter, so that the cone of depression is of very limited area around any one point of abstraction.
7. The method adopted for diverting the water into the well and for taking the best advantage of the existence of a large comparatively flat bed of sand some 10 feet in depth and fully charged with water was as follows.
8. A line of 9-inch pipes commencing at the well 3 feet 6 inches above the bottom was laid with open joints in a south-easterly direction and provided with lateral branches as shewn on the Plan in Drainage Area No. 1.
The pipes were laid on a bed of broken stone averaging 1 foot 6 inches thick and surrounded with 12 inches of the same material, on which was placed a layer of coarse screened sand 12 inches in thickness.
The trenches were then filled up and the ground restored to its original level.
The broken stones forming the foundation were deposited on the impervious clayey stratum so as to drain the sandy deposit at the lowest possible level.
9. Owing to the instability of the ground it was necessary to keep the water down in the However, by temporarily excavation consequently pumping had to be resorted to day and night. diverting the water near the point A, some pumping was saved.
Pumping commenced on the 27th of November, and was continued night and day till 4th of March, except for a short interval of three days. After the 4th of Marchi, all excavations being completed, the water was allowed to rise in the well at night and was pumped out during the following day.

10. The water discharged from the pump was conveyed through a 7-inch cast iron pipe with water-tight joints to the point B at a distance of 350 feet from the well where it had a free discharge down the valley. This course prevented the water again finding its way into the well.
11. On the 3rd of December a meter was fixed on the discharge pipe for measuring the actual quantity pumped. Owing to a quantity of fine sand being met with on the 17th of December which blocked the meter, it had to be removed till the completion of the pipe laying was accomplished on the 27th of January.
12. A dam has been constructed of lime concrete across the valley at the point C 220 feet below the well to arrest the underground flow of water as suggested by Mr. CHADWICK, Section 10 of his report.
THE QUANTITY OF WATER TO BE DERIVED FROM THIS WELL AND WORKS
IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
13. On the 3rd of December the whole of the water available was conducted into the well and after being pumped up passed through a meter. The reading of the meter at 12 A.M. on the 3rd was 2,254,800, and at 3 P.M. on the 8th 3,157,300 giving a flow of 902,500 in 123 hours, or at the rate of 7,337 gallons per hour, or 176,000 gallons per diem. Pumping was continued till 6 P.M. on 28th instant, and the water passed through the meter from 2.45, P.M. on the 12th (the meter reading 3.740.000) to 5.30 P.M. on the 16th (the meter reading 4,391,800) was 651,800 gallons giving a flow of 158,000 gallons per diem. From the 28th of December to the 1st of January no water was pumped. The engine and pump were, however, started again at noon on the 1st of January and pumping continued till the 16th of March. On the 27th of January the pipes for collecting the underground water were completed. The flow of water from that date to the 3rd of February was at the rate of 186,000 gallons per diem when the meter was taken out for the purpose of cleaning, but pumping was still continued. On the 12th of February the meter was again fixed and the flow of water from that date to the 16th of March is shewn in the Table No. 1 attached.
.
14. In considering the foregoing figures it must be borne in mind that at the very commencement of pumping the valley was cut into and the water kept down for the purpose of laying the pipes thus draining it so as to leave no store of water in that portion of the valley where the pipes are laid, the gaugings are, therefore, practically those of the dry weather flow of the subsoil waters.
15. During the whole time continuous pumping was going on the water rose to the surface a few feet higher up the valley than the termination of the pipes, the sand being so compact as to prevent the water flowing sufficiently rapid to materially reduce its level beyond the actual point of its collection.
16. More water would probably be obtained for a limited period by further extending the drains up the valley, but such extension must be done with caution or the store of underground water in the upper portion of the valley will be drawn on to such an extent during the early part of the dry season as to materially diminish the flow of water towards the latter part of it.
17. The dam constructed across the valley at C is founded on the practically impervious stratum underlying the sand and was completed in February too late to materially affect the flow of underground water to the sea this year, but it will doubtless play an important part in the future specially at the commencement of the dry season.
‧
YIELD OF DRAINAGE AREA.
18. Considering the several points referred to in the foregoing, I am
am of opinion that during an average dry season these works may be relied on to give a minimum supply of 100,000 gallons of water per diem.
QUALITY OF WATER.
19. I am indebted to Mr. W. E. CROW, Government Analyst, for an analysis of a sample of this water collected shortly before stopping pumping. I attach his report. The quantity of Albumenoid Ammonia may be accounted for by the existence of some cultivated lands in the valley in close proximity to the collecting pipes. On the resumption of these gardens by the Government, which will be necessary if this source of water supply is adopted, and the prohibition of future cultivation of the soil within the drainage area, it is probable the quantity of Albumenoid Aminonia will diminish.
DISTRICTS TO BE SUPPLIED.
20. The Districts now urgently in need of a water supply are:-
Mongkoktsui population
738
Yaumati Tsimshatsui Hunghom

Total (Census 1891),..........

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETT?, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 901
21. With the exception of Tsimshatsui the population is nearly exclusively Chinese, and I am of opinion an average of 10 gallons a head per diem will, with care, suffice for the requirements of the population.
22. Taking the minimum supply obtainable from the present source at 100,000 gallons per diem, we have, therefore, enough for the supply of a population of 10,000 persons.
MEANS AVAILABLE FOR INCREASING SUPPLY DURING THE DRY SEASON.
23. There can be no doubt whatever that under ordinary circumstances during the months of June, July, August and September, the yield of the drainage area No. 1 (95 acres in extent) discharging into this valley will be more than ample to meet all probable requirements of the Kowloon peninsula for some time to come.
24. In order to increase the daily quantity of water available during the dry season two courses are open, viz. :--
(a) The selection of one or more valleys and constructing works similar to those already
described.
(b) The construction of a Storage Reservoir.
25. The first of these methods was proposed by Mr. CHADWICK in his report dated May 14th, 1890. The valleys edged Blue, Green and Red and numbered 2, 3, and 4, respectively, are specially suited for such a purpose not only on account of the apparent quantity of water obtainable from them and their close proximity to the one already selected edged Brown and numbered 1, but also to the fact that the main conveying the water from valley No. 1 must run through valley No. 4 into which valleys 2 and 3 discharge, rendering the interception of the water from these valleys easy of accomplishment.
26. The entire drainage area is 322 acres. The dry weather yield of a portion, viz., valley No. 1 95 acres in extent has been found from actual experiment to be not less than 100,000 gallons per diem. The dry weather flow obtainable from valleys Nos. 2, 3 and 4 will probably not be less than 66,000, 66,000, and 106,000 gallons per diem respectively. It is, however, not improbable that the yield of valley No. 4 will be somewhat in excess of that above stated owing to its lower elevation and its closer proximity to the sea.
27. Situated within these valleys are cultivated lands held under the form of tenure known as "squatter's license," the holders being tenants at will of the Crown, and in one case in valley No. 4 land, coloured red on Plan, has been sold as a Farm Lot No. 3. It is evident that cultivation in these valleys must cease as the works extend. Though I do not anticipate that it will be necessary to utilize valley No. 4 as a collecting ground for the present, yet this valley should be carefully reserved for such a purpose and care taken that no further rights of any description be granted. So long as the water is conveyed in iron pipes laid with water-tight joints through valley No. 4 I see no reason to disturb the present cultivators in this valley.
28. The second method for increasing the dry weather supply, viz.: by the construction of one or more reservoirs and storing the water during the rainy season would be a very much more expensive means than that of carrying out works sinfilar to those already executed in valley No. 1, and I can only recommend it on such works failing to meet future requirements. I have, however, deemed it advisable to refer to this method, as the available sources of water supply in British Kowloon are extremely limited and should a large increase in the population occur exceptional measures appear necessary for providing a public water supply. From the observations made of the yield of the Pokfulam drainage area I am of opinion 60 per cent. of rain falling over a catchment area in this district could be collected in a reservoir. A catchment area of 100 acres would therefore provide, if adequate impounding reservoirs were constructed, a daily supply of over, 300,000 gallons, the yearly rainfall being taken at 90 inches. Suitable sites for such reservoirs exist in valleys Nos. 1 and 2. It is unnecessary for me at the present moment to go into the further details of this alternative, my object in having dealt thus far with it is to show that if the valleys numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 are reserved for water works purposes, it would appear that ample provision for the extension of the waterworks, should future occasion arise, exists in these proposed reserved areas.
QUANTITY OF WATER REQUIRED.
29. As shewn in sections 20 and 21 the requirements at the end of 1891 were not less than 132,000 gallons per diem.
30. There has, however, recently been quartered at Tsimshatsui a regiment of Indian troops numbering about 1,000 strong; and it is, I believe, intended to erect permanent barracks for the accommodation of these troops on the site known as the Whitfield Barrack site.
31. From the consumption of water at present obtaining within the Military Cantonments in the City of Victoria I am afraid a consumption of 10 gallons per head will be considerably exceeded but the strictest economy should undoubtedly be exercised in the consumption throughout the British Kowloon, and all water laid on inside private property or Imperial or Colonial Institutions measured by meter.
‧
902
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
32. Allowing 15 gallons a head per diem for the barracks we get as the present requirements throughout the districts mentioned in section 20 147,000 gallons per diem.
33. According to the last Census of 1891 the total Land Population of British Kowloon was 19,997 and the Boat Population 6,447, making a total of 26,444. Comparing these figures with those obtained at the Census of 1881 the increase during the last decade has been at the rate of 96 per cent.
34. It would appear scarcely probable that this rate of increase can be maintained when it is remembered that the increase of population in this Colony is mainly due to immigration, the annual returns of births and deaths shewing that the rate per cent. of the former are about one-third that of the latter. There is, however, no apparent reason why a material increase during the next 10 years should not be anticipated, and I am of opinion, though the immediate requirements of the population do not render it necessary, that works should be constructed for the supply of more than 150,000 gallons per diem; yet such works as are constructed should be so arranged as to admit of their being extended to meet the requirements of a population of 50,000, or say, the supply of 500,000 gallons per
diem.
PROPOSED PROJECT.
35. After carefully considering the foregoing facts, I am of opinion that the best project for obtaining a reasonable public water supply for British Kowloon to meet its present requirements and provide for extension if necessary is-
(a) The reservation of the four valleys, numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the plan, for water works
purposes.
(b) The sinking of wells in valleys numbers 2 and 3 and laying subsoil drains as in the case of valley number 1 already described, which will, I anticipate, as stated in section 26, furnish a minimum supply of 232,000 gallons per diem.
(c) The collection of these waters by means of cast iron pipes laid with water-tight joints through the cultivated lands in valley 4. I propose that owing to the wet nature of the soil in order to avoid pumping in the trenches and in consideration of the small pressure to which they will be subjected, that the joints of these pipes should be made with iron filings and ?al Ammoniac; this course will dispense with the use of lead which under the circumstances would be liable to be picked out and stolen.
(d) The erection of Pumping Machinery at the north end of Yaumati for the purpose of pumping water to a reservoir to be constructed on the hill at an elevation of about 230 feet above Ordnance Datum.
(e) The distribution of water by means of cast iron pipes jointed with lead throughout the built area of Mongkoktsui, Yaumati, Tsimshatsui and Hunghom. The principal mains being laid of sufficient size to admit of their ultimate extension to the remaining portion of British Kowloon.*
DESCRIPTION OF WORKS REQUIRED.
36. The wells to be sunk in valleys numbers 2 and 3 to be nine feet (9'. 0′′) internal diameter built on an iron curb and sunk till the impervious substratum is reached, a short distance below each well a concrete dam should be constructed founded on the impervious stratuin and carried up to ground level to prevent the natural flow of the waters of the valleys to the sea.
L
37. The cast iron main laid down the valley from well number 2 to commence in a pipe six inches (6′′) in diameter increasing in size as it receives the water from well number 3 to 7 inches in diameter terminating at the Pumping Station in the suction pipe of the pumps. The branches from wells numbers 1 and 3 being six inches in diameter.
38. In the Pumping Station it will be well to install pumping machinery in duplicate capable of lifting 200,000 gallons per 24 hours to a height of 275 feet giving a combined effective Pump Horse Power of 24. If steam is used the engines might be of the Worthington type triple expansion. No water is available for a jet condenser and in view of the water in the harbour being some 400 feet away from the proposed site of the Pumping Station unless supplementary pumping machinery is provided I do not think much advantage would be gained by using a condensing type of engine. A Hot Well should be provided into which the exhaust steam should be conveyed and from which the water for the supply of the boilers should be pumped by a donkey pump. The boilers should be of the Cornish or Lancashire type fitted with Galloway tubes, this type being more accessible for inspection and easier of maintenance than any of the multitubular types, working pressure 80 lbs. Before, however, edciding to adopt steam as the motive power it would be well to enquire into the first cost and subsequent cost of maintenance and working of petroleum engines which have of late years, believe, come into very general use. It is not at all improbable from the power required, viz.: about 12 Horse Power that an engine of this type will be found most suitable,

39. The pumps are proposed to deliver direct into a 7-inch rising main terminating in a covered service reservoir situated at a level of 230 feet above Ordnance Datum, the rising main being connected at the Pumping Station with the distributing system of pipes so that the pumps will, under ordinary circumstances, pump more or less into the mains and only the surplus water pumped over and above the consumption will be delivered into the reservoir, suitable valves for the purpose being fitted on the rising main.
40. The Service Reservoir to be constructed of rubble masonry and concrete and covered with brick and concrete arching. Contents about 200,000 gallons.
41. The Distribution Main commences at the Pumping Station in a 7-inch pipe, taking a southerly course along Station Street as far as Third Street, then along Third Street to the Austin Road, where it bifurcates a 5-inch main going down Robinson Road to supply Tsimshatsui, and a 6-inch main along the Austin Road in an easterly direction. On reaching Des Voeux Road it turns in a north- easterly direction to Hunghom and is reduced to 5 inches in diameter terminating in the centre of the village of Hunghom. Various subsidiary mains are shewn on the plan for the purpose of conveying water within easy distance of the existing buildings.
42. All the mains are provided with valves in suitable positions for the purposes of shutting off the water in the several streets supplied if occasion should arise without depriving the whole of the districts of water.
43. It is not proposed at present that these mains should be provided with any appliances for the extinction of fire, most of the houses are situated near the harbour from which water should be pumped by fire engines for this purpose. The comparatively limited supply of water available for ordinary domestic use renders it undesirable that such a supply should be subjected to the interruption that must inevitably occur in the event of its being used for the extinction of fires.
44. It is not proposed at present to construct storage accommodation other than that provided by the reservoir mentioned in section 40. Though, doubtless, should the population materially increase considerable advantage will be gained by constructing another reservoir on the hills immediately north of Hunghom at a level of about 150 feet above Ordnance Datum.
SUPPLY TO HOUSES.
45. To secure the utmost economy in the use of water and that the greatest control practicable may be obtained over waste, I must urge the adoption of supplying water where required to be laid on to private premises by meter.
46. But, however, in order to provide for the needs of the greater part of the population who will consider it sufficient to be able to obtain water within easy reach of their houses I
propose that fountains should be fixed in the streets in the positions shewn on the plan. These fountains being outside private property will be easy of inspection and any excessive waste will not be difficult to detect.
47. I have limited the proposed works to the minimum extent consistent with the present and probable requirements in the immediate future. I estimate the total cost at $90,000. (See Summary of Estimate attached.)
MAINTENANCE.
48. To provide for the efficient maintenance of the works it will be necessary that a European Overseer should be resident at Yaumati, accommodation for whom I propose to provide in connection with the Pumping Station buildings. Five Turncocks or native Water Inspectors would have to be provided and reside at Yaumati, Mongkoktsui, Tsimshatsui and Hunghom. The probable staff required to work the pumping machinery would be as follows:-Two engine drivers, two stokers and two coolies. The total cost of maintenance including the cost of coal and stores used at the Pumping Station I estimate at $7,000 per annum.
COST OF WATER.
49. To pay off the cost of construction of these works in 20 years at 5 per cent. in equal annual instalments the amount of such instalments would be $7,218. Adding to this the cost of maintenance, viz.: $7,000 per annum gives as the total annual cost of a supply of 232,000 gallons per diem or 84,680,000 gallons per annum $14,218. Or cost per 1,000 gallons 17 cents.
50. The annual rating valuation of the districts supplied is $225,840. In addition to the water supplied for ordinary domestic purposes I estimate that at present about 25,000 gallons per diem will be supplied by meter to the Naval, Military and Colonial Institutions. This quantity at 25 cents per 1,000 gallons would realize $2,281 per annum.
904
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
51. Four per cent. of the annual rateable value would realize $9,033 per annum, and on the assumption that 10 gallons per head were used for domestic purposes would make the price paid 18 cents per 1,000 gallons.
52. It will, therefore, be seen that a charge for water supplied by meter of 25 cents per 1,000 gallons, and an allotment of 4 per cent. per annum on the rateable value of the districts supplied to a balance of water works purposes would probably yield an annual revenue of $11,314, leaving $2,904 per annum, in order to pay off the cost of the works now proposed in 20 years and meet the annual cost of maintenance, to be defrayed from other sources or from the revenue derived from an increased rateable value or increased supply by meter in the future.
53. The estimated quantity of water available to meet these further demands without increased expenditure on works is 74,950 gallons per diem, or 27,356,750 gallons per annum.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 470.
The following Report on Prison Accommodation, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 16th instant, is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th November, 1892.
G. T. M. O'BRIEN,
Colonial Secretary.
SIR,
HONGKONG, November 15th, 1892.
In reply to your letter of the 11th of August last appointing us to serve on a Committee to report on the question of prison accommodation with a view to fulfilling the conditions laid down in Lord KNUTSFORD'S Confidential Despatch dated the 7th of July, 1892, we have the honour to report as follows.
2. After carefully considering the question of prison accommodation and the definite conditions laid down in the above mentioned despatch, viz. :-
(a) The enlargement of the present prison area,
(b) Additions to the existing prison buildings,
(c) Additional space for exercise and for working of prisoners,
(d) The provision of separate cells for the total number of male prisoners belonging to the
criminal class,
we are of opinion that the enlargement of the present prison area can best be effected by including in it the Magistracy and its compound, and that additions to the existing prison buildings might be made by adding to wards B1, BII, BIII, DI, DII, DIII, as shewn on plans Nos. 1, 2 and 3.
3. Additional space for exercise and for working prisoners will be obtained by reserving free of buildings a portion of the present Magistracy premises, now proposed to be included in the prison area, and constructing a flat-roof over the drill shed in the south-east corner of the Gaol compound and erecting over a portion of this open sheds.
4. Provision of separate cells for the total number of male prisoners belonging to the criminal class involves considerable alterations to the existing buildings and the acquisition of private property.
5. Plans numbers 1, 2 and 3 shew the proposed alterations to the existing buildings, from which it will be seen our proposals include the division of most of the existing associated cells, converting wards C1, and DIII, now occupied as Tailors' and Printers' Shops, into separate cells, adding to wards BI, BII, BIII, DI, DII and Dii, erecting an entirely new block on the site of the present Super- intendent's, Constables' and Guards' Quarters, and extending it over a portion of the Magistracy compound.
This new block to contain Constables' and Guards' Quarters, 141 separate cells and Tailors' and Printers' Shops.
6. The adoption of these proposals will involve accommodation for the Magistracy, Superintendent's Quarters, Turnkeys' Quarters and Gaol Hospital being provided elsewhere.
7. Under these circumstances we recommend the removal of the Magistracy to the nearly vacant ground on the north of the Police Superintendent's Quarters as shewn on plan No. 4. The erection of Gaol Superintendent's Quarters on Inland Lot number 1,281 situated on the west of Old Bailey Street, Turnkeys' Quarters on Inland Lot number 1,282 and Gaol Hospital on Inland Lot number 1,283 as shewn on the enclosed sketch tracings, the first building being two stories in height and the other two three stories.
These premises to be connected with the present Gaol by means of a subway under Old Bailey. Accommodation to be provided on the site of the existing Magistracy cells and latrine for the Police, Stores and Stables now occupying a portion of the site proposed for the new Magistracy.
8. We further recommend the purchase of Inland Lot number 1,284 for the purpose of construct- ing a female prison two stories in height as shewn on the enclosed sketch tracings, the present female prison being a hired building in Wyndham Street and far from suitable for the purpose.
:
THE HONGKONG governNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 907
9. If the foregoing proposals are carried out we are of opinion the accommodation provided will in every respect be superior to that at present existing; but we have to point out that it has been found impracticable to provide within the premises quarters for the First Clerk to the Magistrates, it being inadvisable to increase the height of the new Magistracy beyond that shewn on the accompanying tracings, on account of such increase interfering with the quarters of the Captain Superintendent of Police and those of the Police Inspectors.
10. We attach tabular statements shewing the present accommodation and that proposed, and a return of the daily average number of prisoners incarcerated during the last four years.
From these it will be seen the accommodation now proposed is in excess of the average require- ments during the last four years.
11. We have to point out that these proposed alterations, if adopted, will have to be carried out by degrees and if, as is anticipated, the partial adoption of the Separate System reduces the number of prisoners some reduction in the accommodation now proposed may be found practicable before the whole of these alterations are completed.
12. The estimated cost, as furnished by the Director of Public Works, of carrying out the fore- going alterations and additions is as follows:-
Converting existing associated cells into single ones,
Additions to wards BI, BII, BII, DI, DI, DIII, and out-buildings,

The following Annual Report of the Colonial Surgeon for the year 1891, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 16th instant, is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th November, 1892.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,
HONGKONG, 21st June, 1892.
SIR, I have the honour to forward my annual Report for the year 1891 of the work done in the different Establishments under my supervision, and to forward reports from the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, to which is attached as an appendix an address to the Medical Association on his researches in Malarial Fever; the report of the Medical Officer in charge of Victoria Gaol; and that of the Government Analyst, to which he has added this year for the first time a report on the working of the Government Civil Hospital Pharmacy.
POLICE.
The admissions to Hospital show a decrease of 12, being 570 as compared with 582 in 1890; the deaths were the same as last year. Five of these occurred in Hospital: 2 Europeans, 2 Indians, and 1 Chinese. One Indian died in India while home on leave, and 1 Chinese in China while at home on leave; 7 in all.
The admissions to Hospital from the various sections of the Force for the last ten years are given in the following Table :-

By this it will be seen that the Europeans have suffered more severely than in any year in the previous nine years. It must be remembered that this does not show the entire sickness amongst the Europeans, as Inspectors and Sergeants who are married men are attended in many cases by me in their own quarters. The Indians and Chinese go to Hospital in nearly every case. The Indians this year have also suffered more heavily than in previous years, while the sickness amongst the Chinese has never been so small,

year.
Table III shows the admissions to Hospital from the different Stations and Districts in each month of the year. It is rather curious to note that the Peak Stations considering the small number of men stationed there have so large a number of sick. While Aberdeen, Pokfulam and Stanley show a much better state of health than they have done for a number of years. The new Station at Aber- deen has probably a great deal to say to this, as in previous years Aberdeen was one of the worst Stations.

TROOPS.
There is a considerable decrease as regards sickness among the Troops this year, the admissions to Hospital being 1,851 against 1,915 in 1890. The death rate shows a slight increase, being 17 as compared with 15 in 1890. The following Table gives the sickness and mortality for the last ten years. The former has only been exceeded once, and the latter only twice in that time so that there is much room for improvement and better accommodation is evidently very much wanted:-

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.
The Superintendent's report is a very satisfactory one as regards the working of this institution, and the improvements nearly completed and those sanctioned will very much increase its efficiency.
The Staff with one exception have worked very satisfactorily, the exception is the Junior Ward- masters. We do not seem to be able to get over the trouble we have always had with them and the changes are nearly as frequent as ever.
The Nursing Sisters' work has been all that could be desired of them, and they have been the greatest acquisition to the Hospital. Of all the improvements none have been more important than their introduction.
He was It is with great regret that I have to mention the loss of Mr. ROGERS, the late Steward. the first to hold this appointment and no one could have done the work more satisfactorily. He well earned the respect and esteem of all who knew him, and I am very sorry he had to retire on account of ill health. Still I am glad to report that we have found an efficient substitute in Mr. CHAPMAN to take his place.
The admissions to Hospital show a decrease of ninety, the decrease is partly satisfactory as it is amongst the Police, Government Servants, Police Cases, and Destitutes. The decrease amongst the paying patients has been principally because the wards have always been full and applicants have had to be refused, but the increase of accommodation that has been sanctioned will, I hope, in another year obviate the troubles we have had in accommodating this class of patients. They do not, as a rule, come in unless they are in pretty bad case, and most of them require to remain for a very long time. Many that desired first class accommodation, that is a ward to themselves, have had to be put on the second class list, that is with one other patient in the ward. The old system of having junior messes at every
Bank and Mercantile House having been nearly done away with,, and most young men now living in chambers and messing at the Clubs, or the Hotels, has greatly increased this demand, as will be seen in the Table below when comparing the first three years with the last three years of the ten given.

The Superintendent's Report is a very full one, has been very carefully considered, and shows, together with the appendix he has given, how earnestly he has worked to render the establishment of which he has charge thoroughly efficient.
SMALL-POX HOSPITAL AND EPIDEMIC HULK HYGEIA.
There were seventeen cases of small-pox treated in this Hospital and the Hulk Hygeia, of which only one died. The Hygeia is rather an expensive investment. She was only used for the first time in the autumn and has already cost a considerable sum for repairs though she was only launched in the beginning of the summer, and to make her in a fit condition she needs another large expenditure. She has to be anchored about three miles off the town for safety and even under the lee of Stone Cutters' Island in a gale last year she drifted some distance from her moorings. If she was stationed nearer the town in the event of bad weather she would have to be towed into safe quarters and towed back again, that would be a great expense and there is absolutely no site within the Colony. Now that Stone Cutters' Island is in the occupation of the Military that can be used for the purpose of a Quarantine Station.
Table VIIA shows the number, nationality, and duration of the cases of small-pox treated, those marked with an * were treated on board the Hygeia in charge of Dr. Lowson.
PUBLIC MORTUARY.

Of these 52 were found to have died from disease, 69 were accidental deaths and 17 suicides; there were none sent in this year homicidal deaths.

This Table shows that there was a larger number of admissions than in any of the previous nine years, an increase compared with 1890 (which has the smallest number recorded in the past ten years) of 1,787. The Opium and Gambling Ordinances are responsible for the greater portion of this increase of admissions. It is, however, satisfactory to note that in spite of the increase of admissions the daily average number of prisoners in Gaol is considerably less than all the previous nine years, showing a large diminution in absolute crime and the very large proportion of short-term prisoners. Opium-smoking and gambling will never be eradicated from the Chinese by law. If on the same
912
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
principle everybody in England in possession of alcoholic liquor and were caught gambling were imprisoned or fined, the gaols would not hold them. Yet opium-smoking does not do 1,000th part of the harm to either the individual or his family that alcohol does at home. As for the gamblers not one in a hundred is investing more than a few cents at a time and crime does not appear to be more rampant in Macao where gambling is licensed than it is here.
In spite of all that has been said about the accommodation in the Gaol, I doubt if any gaol in England can show as small a rate of sickness and mortality as the Victoria Gaol. To remove the Gaol to a new site would enormously increase both the sickness and mortality as there is no other site without opening up new ground, and for many years this would be a great source of trouble. The Table above shows that the daily average of prisoners is on the decrease and but for the Gambling Ordinance being enforced more thoroughly during the past year there would have been a much larger decrease. The expense of a new gaol for the building itself would be enormous and the upkeep would be more than doubled when removed from its central position. I see nothing to be gained by a removal and a new gaol, but a great monetary loss to the Colony, and bodily harm to the prisoners. The Western theories as regards sanitation are in many cases at a discount as regards the Chinese, and the overcrowding theory is amongst them. Of their own free will they will not bear what to European ideas is considered most beneficial to their health. In Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY'S time a new set of quarters on sanitary principles were built for the Chinese servants at Government House. The Chinese servants immediately on taking possession reduced the amount of ventilation very considerably, and on being told that the obstructions could not be permitted, they said they preferred to leave, and His Excellency was reduced to the choice of having no servants or abandoning the European theory of ventilation as far as they were concerned. As regards the town and overcrowding the Sanitary Board have been completely nonplussed, the first attempt to carry out the Health Ordinance as far as this was concerned raised such a commotion that it was found all business would be stopped, the excitement among the Chinese at the enormous increase of cost it would entail on them for rent was immense. Until the new drainage system is completed and the new water-supply also, no reliable statistics can be made as regards overcrowding on the health of the population. Under the circumstances I have described in former annual reports and Mr. CHADWICK has reported on concerning house- building, house-drainage and water-supply, the mortality among the Chinese according to European ideas of sanitation has been exceptionally low. When the present accommodation for them has been otherwise rendered as healthy as possible, it will then be time to consider the question of overcrowding. As far as ventilation is concerned Chinese houses are very detrimental to many Europeans who inhabit them and cannot afford the rent of a European-built house. In the cold weather it is impossible to keep out of a draught in a Chinese house, and children and adults suffer terribly from chest and bowel complaints in consequence. In the hot weather the Chinese houses are seldom overcrowded, for you will see the inhabitants sleeping in the streets by the thousand. In the Chinese quarter it is difficult sometimes to make your way through a street at night without treading on some one. The habits and customs of the Chinese are entirely different from Europeans. In cold weather the loose clothing and the number of coats they wear, wrap them in many layers of hot air. In hot weather a loin cloth or a pair of pyjamas is enough for them. The European with his tight clothing and no decent fire-place in the house, for no ordinary Chinese house has a fire-place except in the kitchen, suffers from the cold and draughts in winter, and his ideas of decency compell him to suffer from the heat in summer ten times more than any Chinaman would. On account of overcrowding and for the above reasons, I am of opinion it would be a terrible mistake and misfortune to the Colony if a new gaol is built. The proposed alterations that have been sent home, I think, will meet all the requirements of the Colony as regards.gaol accommodation. The number of cases admitted to Hospital is a little over 14 per thousand of admissions to the Gaol, and the deaths from sickness are a little under 14 per thousand. There were seven deaths from disease, none of them due to the confinement in the Gaol, and one death from suicide, the man did not die immediately after hanging himself but a few hours after from the effects of the attempt to hang himself. As a matter of fact the Chinese prisoners in Gaol as regards health are far better off than out of it and in a good many other things: food, lodging and clothing, &c., in the majority of cases.
Dr. MARQUES is to be congratulated on being able to give such a good report of the health of the prisoners in spite of the overcrowding.
Table XIB and XIc give, respectively, the numbers, age, weight on admission and at the end of a month, with the quantity smoked, of opium smokers in the Gaol, and the number that required medical treatment, with the cause.
per
There were 56 prisoners who reported themselves as opium smokers to the extent of one mace diem or over, of these 10 were placed under medical treatment. Of these 5 increased in weight, 4 had slightly decreased in weight at the end of the month, one remained the same.
Of the healthy ones the majority increased in weight. The decrease of weight in all the cases recorded was very slight. The average weight of a Chinaman is about 110 lbs.
I have tested this in the Gaol for the use of the New York Insurance Society, when I took the weight of several hundreds of those at work in the different classes of labour. It is a rare thing to find a Chinaman that will top 10 stone. My chair coolies are well known for their speed and endurance and size, the heaviest of them is only a little over 130 lbs.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
913
A Chinaman must be very muscular and fat to top 140 lbs., their bones are so small in comparison with other races as also their average height in the Southern parts of China. In the 56 opium smokers there are only 9 men who reach 120 lbs. or over, one reached 135 lbs.
The cost of one mace of opium is 10 cents, so that all these men spent $3 or more a month in smoking the drug.
As so much has been said in Parliament lately I will give a brief resume of my 18 years' experience of opium smokers in the Gaol and the different tests I have made myself and caused to be made with the view of finding out what harm it does physically and mentally.
In
When I first took charge of the Gaol in 1873 I found that every prisoner that reported himself as an opium smoker was put on extra diet, a mixture that contained Laudanum, three times a day, a Quinine pill three times a day, and 2 oz. of Gin. As I had no experience of opium smoking I kept all these cases under observation with the result that in three months' time I saw no necessity for this treatment of opium smokers and abolished it altogether treating them as all the other prisoners without regard for the habit, and this has been done ever since and the opium habit ignored. I could find no set of symptoms that was common to the opium smokers only or justified any exceptional treatment. The result was much fewer men reported themselves as opium smokers, as there was nothing to be gained by it. For the first few years I did little more than this as my attention was wholly occupied in my spare time with the sanitation of the Colony which at that time devolved entirely upon me with two Inspectors for assistants. Afterwards I began to keep these records of every opium smoker. the eighteen years there have been over 1,000 of those addicted to the habit in the Gaol and among them only one death has occurred which had no relation whatever to the habit. I have not been able to find that the habit affected them in any way physically or mentally. I recorded in my annual report for 1877 the case of an opium smoker whose consumption had averaged 8 oz. a day for 19 years. This man was in Gaol for embezzlement of $40,000 and had been a wealthy merchant in Singapore, in his case the habit was entirely ignored, for the first few days he suffered from want of sleep but it was from anxiety more than any thing else, for he had been told that if he gave up the habit suddenly he would die and he was proportionally disgusted when nothing happened, as he said if he had known it would cost him so little he would have given up the habit long ago. He was a stout, strongly built man of about fifty years of age and the largest consumer of the drug we have had in the Gaol. During his three months' detention here before being sent back to Singapore he was in good health and never required a single dose of medicine. I tried opium smoking myself and could make nothing of it though I.smoked more than two mace at a single sitting; it had no effect upon me whatever. Dr. MANSON was of opinion that I did not use the drug properly or such would not have been the case, so I had him, Sir W. MARSH, Mr. PRICE and some others interested in the matter to dinner one night, and after dinner smoked in his presence having an old opium smoker to load the pipe for me and a fresh box of the Opium Farmer's opium. Dr. MANSON watching me all the time. He was satisfied that the opium was properly and fairly used but could find no effect as indeed I felt none myself. But he declared I should before morning, they all left at midnight, and half an hour afterwards I was called out to attend a child in convulsions which occupied me nearly three hours before the child was sufficiently recovered to be left. At nine o'clock next morning I met Dr. MANSON on my rounds and told him how I had passed the night and so far I had felt no effects from the smoking whatever.
In 1881 I requested Mr. HUGH MCCALLUM, who was at that time the Government Analyst, to make some experiments, and he sent me in a report dated March 6th, 1881. He afterwards embodied this report in an article he sent to the China Review ("On Opium and Opium Smoking") 1883, Volume 11, No. 5, page 278. This report, I think, should be printed for information and recorded, and I enclose it as an appendix to my report as the Home Government are anxious to obtain all the inform- ation they can on the habit of opium smoking.
But
As a habit I cannot find it is so injurious as tobacco smoking is in some cases. I am an inveterate tobacco smoker myself, and as far as I am concerned it has never done me any harm, but I have seen many cases of its evil effects on other people. I have not been able to find even this much in the case of the opium smoker. Very few people have got through their first pipe or cigar without feeling very sick even if they have not had a violent attack of vomiting; but I have tried opium smoking on many novices and could find nothing approaching the effect of tobacco, though the smoker does not inhale the smoke of tobacco the effect of the nicotine in the case of a novice is visible to any one. though the opium smoke is always inhaled deep into the lungs no effects of Morphine are visible at all, and I doubt very much if this principle ever reaches the lungs at all. As will be seen in Mr. MCCALLUM's report there is about 6 to 7 per cent. of Morphia in the opium sent out by the Opium Farmer, yet the old opium smoker, who has had the habit for over 30 years and was one of the best Chinese Government servants in my Department, could not detect the difference between the Opium Farmer's opium containing 7 per cent. of Morphia the same opium with an additional 15 per cent. of Morphia added, and the Opium Farmer's opium with all the Morphia abstracted. The opium expert, attached to the Opium Farmer's firm, condemns his employer's opium and with 15 and 25 per cent. of Morphia added says it has no taste or smell at all. The old opium smoker is a pensioner now, he was the Senior Chinese Wardmaster at the Hospital, his habit never rendered him unfit for duty, he

was one of the most intelligent, trustworthy and active men we have had in my Department and I very much regretted his loss when old age compelled him to resign after 30 years' service. No European was a better dresser or better post mortem assistant and many of the trained Europeans we have had were not his equal; for a man of his age he is in good health now, possesses all his faculties and his intelligence, but is as inveterate a smoker as ever. I am in no way in favour of opium smoking, to me it is a ridiculous, lazy habit. To smoke opium you must devote your entire attention to it and to it only and I can't find any pleasure in it or the reason for its fascination amongst the Chinese. In all the description of opium dens in European countries alcoholic drinks come in as well. But amongst the Chinese no liquor is taken at or about the time of smoking. The dens in European countries or colonies devoted to opium are mostly devoted to general debauchery as well. In China the houses where opium is smoked are devoted to that alone, and no such scenes as are described in European dens are to be found among them; for I have visited them in different parts of China as well as in this Colony. Opium smoking is also indulged in in Chinese brothels, but even in them such rowdy scenes never take place as in the similar places where Europeans congregate. General debility accounted for all the 5 cases admitted from the 82 opium smokers in the Gaol to Hospital in 1890, but as three of thein were 58 years of age had they not been opium smokers they would probably have been put on the sick list as suffering from age. Then as many of the opium smokers in Gaol are of the lowest class of Chinese and pinch their bellies for the luxury. They are probably on a par with habitual drunkards at home, who earn this character for 6 pennyworth of gin or less a day on an empty stomach, when the same amount of alcohol has no effect on the' well-fed consumer. There is one more test which I hope the Government Analyst will be able to make this year with the convenience of the new laboratory, and that is how much morphia enters the mouth and lungs of the opium smoker with the smoke or the other less pernicious constituents of opium. The introduction of alcoholic drinks by Europeans to otherwise temperate nations has done more harm a thousand fold than ever opium has done among the Chinese, but then that would affect the people at home, but there is only one India to be abused and no European nationality is affected. The palaver about opium eating in India has only been taken up because of opium being introduced into China. What Society has thought it worth its while to take up the questions of Indian hemp smoking and eating in India a very much more deleterious habit both to mind and body? Better men than myself have taken up the gauntlet for the opium eater; but my five years' service in Assam and Bengal gave me considerable experience of that and I have had personal experience as well having eaten over an ounce of opium a day for months that I can understand the fascination for and the pleasure in it, but I found no difficulty in leaving it off, beyond a few sleepless nights and a considerable amount of irritability caused by its cessation. Khalassees, or Indian seamen, largely employed in all the Indian trade are to be seen in every seaport in Europe, and yet I am considerably under the mark in saying at least 15 per cent. of these men are opium eaters, and I have done many long voyages with them; better seamen with finer physique for their size cannot be found. You will never see a vessel put to sea with a third of them incapable of doing duty for days from the effect of this habit, but you can any time see a vessel set sail from an English crew more than a third incapable from drink when going down the stormy English Channel. To abolish the opium trade in India will do a good thing for China. India and Ceylon are running her hard in the tea trade competition, but do away with the Indian opium trade and she will grow opium for all the world. Every Consular Report shows the rapid and extensive increase of the growth of opium in China, and if it is made worth his while John Chinaman will soon improve his manufacture of the drug, and it will be smuggled into India wholesale.
LUNATIC ASYLUMS.
In November this year the Chinese Lunatic Asylum was first opened. There were already two Chinese, one male and one female, in the European Asylum, as there was nowhere else to put them.
On the 1st of January there were three European lunatics, one Coloured lunatic, and one Chinese in the European Asylum. There were five European lunatics, one Coloured, and one Chinese admitted during the year. Most of these have been sent to their own countries.
The two Chinese were transferred from the European Lunatic Asylum to the Chinese Asylum, when it was opened in November.
Five cases were transferred from the Tung Wa Hospital at the same time to the Asylum. One fresh case was admitted during the ensuing two months.
TUNG WA HOSPITAL.
The number of admissions to this Hospital during 1891 was 2,514, of these 1,159 died in the Hospital, 331 were moribund when admitted. As I have often stated the majority of the cases admitted into this Hospital are in a hopeless condition on admission, this is patent to any one walking round the wards without any medical education.
Of out-patients there were 99,446 who attended the Hospital during this year. the year there were 112 still in the Hospital.
At the end of
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
915
There were 22 cases of small-pox admitted, of which. 15 died and 7 were discharged. Most of these are unvaccinated cases, and the majority infants.
1,875 people were vaccinated, 1,782 at the Hospital and 93 in the Out-Stations. A free supply of calf lymph is sent to this Hospital every year by me.
LOCK HOSPITAL.
This work has been carried on for the past year in the buildings temporarily hired for the pur- pose; but, in the course of another month, it will be removed to its permanent quarters which have so long been occupied by the Nursing Stuff of the Government Civil Hospital, both buildings being very inappropriate for the purpose for which they were in use but the best temporary arrangement that it was possible to make as I have before reported.
Mrs. ACKERS, the Matron, returned this year from her well-earned leave in England, much to the delight of her little patients.
I am happy to report that the benefits these women receive from the Hospital are appreciated more and more every year since the Contagious Diseases Ordinance was abolished in 1887, the voluntary attendance on the examinations has improved year by year since that date. No coercion whatever is used to make them attend the examinations or to make them stay in Hospital when found to be diseased.
The following Table shows the number of registered women for the last seven years, the number of examinations made, the attendance being once a week, the number of examinations supposing every woman attended once a week, and defect in attendance compared with the real number of examinations made, and the amount of disease found amongst them :-

* September 1, 1887, Compulsory attendance abolished.
No woman is examined when her monthly discharge is on, and allowance has to be made besides for ordinary sickness. The deficit amounts to a little over 5 attendances for each woman in a year not much when the above causes for absence are allowed for. The deficit is the smallest since 1886, the last whole year when compulsory attendance was enforced.
The number of registered women has increased by 16. The number of admissions to Hospital was 80 as compared with 82 in 1890. There were some half dozen very bad cases which from their long stay in Hospital very considerably raised our average of days under treatment; one of these cases was of a Phagedenic type which is rarely seen.
No returns are now sent in by the Navy which is much to be regretted as it has upset the statistics, of many years and their Tables showed better,. in conjunction with the Police, the amount of disease attributable to the registered women.
The Military are unreliable, for it is noticeable that every year a Regiment remains here the amount of disease increases. Their knowledge of the town increases and they distribute their favours The more among unregistered women. The Naval seamen go to the places most readily to be found. Police confine themselves more to the Registered Houses as they find them safer; they are better paid than the soldiers and their stoppages are heavy when off duty from their own indiscretions. The ordinary seamen treated in Hospital do not afford any comparison, as many of them contract the disease in other Ports, and doubtless disease contracted in this Port is not discovered until after they have left in many cases.
The Military show an increase of 33 cases from all causes, being 452 as compared with 419 admissions to Hospital in 1890. There is an increase of 29 cases of constitutional disease, being 82 admissions this year as compared with 53 in 1890.
In the Police there is a decrease of disease of 12, there were 57 admissions this year from all causes as compared with 69 in 1890. A decrease of 1 in the admissions from constitutional disease, there being 5 admissions from this cause compared with 6 in 1890.
916
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
The cases treated in the Civil Hospital show a decrease in the total of 29, there being 129 admis- sions compared with 158 in 1890. The cases of constitutional disease show an increase of 6, being 15 as compared with 9 in 1890.
HEALTH OF THE COLONY.
The number of deaths among the European and American residents was 57 as compared with 95 last year. The Census shows an increase of 1,155, being 4,195 as compared with 3,040 for the previous ten years. The percentage of deaths 1.36 the lowest percentage in the last 10 years. See Table XVI.
There has been no epidemic form of disease during the past year.

The deaths from the classes of disease shown in the above Table among Europeans show an increase of 3, and with the exception of last year shows the lowest total for the last 19 years amongst Europeans; 5 deaths are reported from cholera which in this Colony has been mostly of a sporadic type. In my opinion always, but in that I am not borne out by my confreres. These five deaths are reported from the European Hospitals.

The above Table gives the deaths from similar causes among Chinese. This shows an increase on the total compared with the previous year of 109, there being 771 cases compared with 562 in 1890. Nine deaths are reported from vomiting and purging. Mr. MCCALLUM and myself inspected the bodies in these cases, some of them never had any vomiting and purging; two cases were from heart disease, and one from disease of the lungs. In a boat at Yaumati five cases of vomiting and purging were reported and one death among them. We went across to inspect them. The man that died had been suffering from Malarial Fever for nearly a month, two of the others bolted when they saw us coming, and the two that remained were suffering from high fever at the time. They had all suffered from the usual bilious vomiting and purging at the onset of the attack.
Mr. CROW's analytical report is of great interest as giving a full account of the water-supply to the Colony from the different sources, and it is satisfactory to know that we are far better off than most towns at Home and quite as well off as any of them in this respect.
Mr. LUCAS, the Assistant Apothecary, did the analytical work for Mr. CROW while he was away on leave in a most satisfactory manner and deserves great credit for a careful and voluminous report he made on the Taitam Water-supply.
In conclusion, it is satisfactory to note steady improvement in this Department generally with the yearly increasing demands made upon it.

APPENDIX.
Mr. H. McCallum's Report on Opium and Opium Smoking.
GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,
HONGKONG, 6th March, 1881.
SIR,-With reference to your request that I should estimate the Morphine value of the different preparations of opium used for smoking purposes and furnish you with what information I could relative thereto, I have the honour to lay before you the following remarks.
The Morphine value of the different preparations of opium depend chiefly on the amount of extract yielded by and the percentage of Morphine present in the crude opium from which they were prepared. Now as opium varies considerably in this respect the preparations thereof will vary accordingly. There is also more or less loss of Morphine during the preparation of smoking extract the loss being greater the longer it is submitted to moist heat and the higher the temperature. Making due allowance for variations from these causes, the results obtained from the different kinds examined and stated below, may be taken to fairly represent their average percentages of Morphine.
Indian opium average Morphine value of....
‧
quantity of smoking extracts yielded by
5 to 8 per cent. ........70 to 80
""
1st Quality of prepared opium from Hongkong opium farm yielded 5 86 per cent. Morphine. 2nd Quality of prepared opium from Hongkong opium farm yielded 7.30 per cent. Morphine. Cake prepared opium from a coolie smoking-house said to have been prepared from opium dross yielded 6.28 per cent. Morphine.
Opium Dross (scrapings from opium pipe) yielded 4.76 per cent. Morphine. Opium Dross average quantity of extract yielded by 65 to 70 per cent.
It is generally assumed that the effect of smoking opium is similar to that of eating it and that this is principally due to the Morphine it contains; this assumption appears very problematical when the following facts are taken into consideration:-
1st. That Indian opium is the kind most prized by smokers and it is characterised by its
usually low percentage of Morphine.
2nd. That the Chinese estimate the value of opium according to flavour and the quantity of
extract it yields.
3rd. The mode of preparing smoking extract tends to the destruction of Morphine.
4th. The large quantity which can be smoked without any apparent toxie effect not only by
habitual smokers but also by beginners.
5th. There is no authentic case of acute poisoning from opium smoking.
An experiment has been made bearing on this point and although not conclusive it is confirmatory of the idea that Morphine is not the active agent which gives pleasure to the opium smoker.

It will be observed that the Chinese expert bases his opinion on the physical appearance of the extract, its behaviour in the flame of the lamp and its smell, not on its effect when smoked. nine years' opium smoker apparently judged of its quality in a somewhat similar manner, but as he The actually smoked a considerable quantity of each, viz., nearly a quarter of an ounce of each of those to which Morphine had been added and over two ounces of No. 4 in the second Table, his opinion is considered of most value. At my request he got some of his friends to try No. 4, in the second Table and they agreed with him that it was good. On one occasion in about twelve hours he smoked a quantity of opium to which Morphine had been added equal to at least twenty grains of Morphine.
If the effects of opium smoking are similar to those of opium eating and Morphine the active agent it can only be said regarding the former mode of using the drug that a more elaborate, troublesome, wasteful and expensive method could scarcely be devised to obtain a minimum of effect from a maximum of power.
In connection with the above I may mention that I have visited a number of opium-smoking houses of different classes, but have not as yet been fortunate enough to see that profound sleep with beautiful dreams, &c, which has been so graphically described. In the coolie houses I have seen men asleep after their evening pipe and also most probably a hard day's work they having taken up their quarters there for the night. However, a slight shake with the sight of a ten-cent piece and they were very soon wide awake.
I have the honour to be,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
Enclosure 1.
Report from the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital.
GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,
HONGKONG, 11th April, 1892.
SIR,-I have the honour to forward you my Annual Report for the year 1891 with the Hospital Statistics.
I. THE HOSPITAL BUILDINGS.
1. The Main portion of this Hospital has remained unaltered.
2. A covered way has been constructed connecting the New Wing with the rest of the Hospital increasing the convenience of the communication between the buildings.
3. The New Barracks for the Chinese attendants have been completed and are now occupied. These provide accommodation for the whole of the Chinese attendants.
On the completion of this building, the old quarters were removed. Since the occupancy of these New Barracks it is satisfactory to record a marked improvement in the health of the Chinese staff which now appears to be satisfactorily accommodated.
4. The increased Office and Store accommodation still remains to be done. In connection with this it has been decided that it is desirable to increase the accommodation for private paying patients. Plans and estimates have been prepared, and provision has been made to defray the cost of the same in the Estimates for this year.
A complete system for the distribution of hot water throughout the Main building and the New Wing has been completed and meets a long needed want. Hot water being available on every floor at all hours of the day considerably facilitates internal management.
The question of improved laundry accommodation still remains undecided, it being hoped that the New Public Laundries recently constructed by the Colonial Government will have the desired effect of improving the hitherto very unsatisfactory methods of conducting laundry operations by the native washermen.
5. The number of private paying patients has been maintained in the case of the first and second classes as the following statistics will show :-
1888.
1889.
1890.
1891.
First Class patients, ............ 6. Second Class patients, .........12.
17.
38.
39.
32.
162.
156.
In the third class I have to record a diminution, the total number of private paying patients in 1891 being 464 as compared with 313 in 1888, 402 in 1889, and 527 in 1890.
The necessity for the increased accommodation above referred to (paragraph 4) requires early attention. It is, however, hoped that, now the project has assumed a definite shape, I shall be able before long to report its completion and the consequent improved means at our disposal for meeting this public requirement especially important in a Colony situated as this is.
The temporary arrangements referred to in my last Report have during the year continued to be used no other means being available, though I regret to say that my experience during the past year does not enable me to view it in a more satisfactory light than I did at the date of my last Report.
6. The continued increased accumulation of Chinese dwellings in the neighbourhood of the Hospital and the possible extension of building operations in the vicinity renders it more desirable than ever that some steps should be taken not only to close the Hospital Road to traffic between the hour of 8 P.M. and 8 A.M., but also existing regulations should be more stringently enforced to prevent a continuance of unnecessary disturbance in the streets adjoining the Hospital in the early hours of the morning.
II.-SMALL-POX HOSPITAL,
7. The temporary Small-Pox buildings have been maintained.
8. The Hospital ship Hygeia was taken to her moorings to the North of Stone Cutters' Island on 4th May, but was not occupied except by caretakers until September 30th when the S.S. Bellerophon arrived in the harbour with six cases of Small-Pox on board. These were at once removed to the Hygeia and arrangements made for their medical treatment.
The Hygeia was required on one other occasion, the S.S. Peshawur arriving on 26th October with one case of Small-Pox on board.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 939
No necessity has arisen during the past year for utilising the Hygeia for the few isolated cases of Small-Pox that have occurred within the limits of the City,
The ship is now well appointed for meeting all probable contingencies that are likely to arise requiring the actual treatment of cases of epidemic disease, and from the experience gained during the past year she appears well adapted for the special requirements which led to her construction.
There is, however, one drawback in the distance of her moorings from the City. Though convenient for the reception of imported cases such as those that have had to be contended with during the past year, being near the quarantine anchorage, should she at any time be required · for the reception of cases occurring on shore considerable advantage would accrue on the increased facilities afforded for the removal of patients and their subsequent medical treatment if an anchorage nearer the City could be obtained.
III.--ADDITIONAL OFFICERS' QUARTERS.
9. It is with some regret that I am unable at present to record the occupancy of this Building, but it is much to be hoped that this improved accommodation will be available before we enter on another summer. Not only will the large space available add to the comfort and the health of the officers, but this building, being situated away from the noisy thoroughfare of Queen's Road on which the present temporary quarters abut, will secure that necessary rest and quiet so conducive to the maintenance of good health.
IV.-HOSPITAL PREMISES.
10. There is nothing of any importance to record with regard to the Hospital premises though I may here mention that, towards the latter end of the year, the whole of the premises were supplied with water by meter. The cost of the water will in future have to be defrayed by this Department.
V.-HOSPITAL AND NURSING STAFF.
11. I regret to have to report that Mr. ROGERS' health completely broke down in the early part of the summer. He went away for a short sea trip in September, but not benefitting by the change, he left on a three months leave of absence in October.
I am much obliged to the Sisters for the able way in which they have performed their duties, their care and attention to the patients is beyond all praise.
I have much pleasure in reporting that one of them, Sister CATHERINE has undertaken the study of the Chinese language, and in December last passed the first Government Examination on the Cantonese dialect with great credit.
I have again to record my thanks to Dr. LowSON and to the entire staff for their able and efficient assistance rendered during the past year.

A few changes of minor importance have taken place in the subordinate staff of the Hospital.

VIIb.-The aggregate monthly number of patients visited in the Hospital daily for last
four years.
VIIC.-Table giving the hours of duty of the Malarial Fever cases occurring amongst
the Police.
From the foregoing it will be seen :-
(i.) That the number of in-patients under treatment during the year was 1867, a decrease of 90 as compared with that of the previous year; the total number of deaths was 84, a percentage of 4.49 as compared with a percentage of 5 in 1890; there were of moribund cases dying within
24 hours,...
48 "}
.......25 .......32
(ii.) Out of the total number of in-patients 136 were females, an increase of 12 on that of previous year. Six of these were difficult obstetric cases.
(iii.) Six thousand eight hundred and thirty-one (6,831) out-patients were attended to during the year.
(iv.) POLICE. The total number under treatment was 12 less than in the previous year. With an increase of 18 amongst the European regard to the different nationalities there was Members of the Force, an increase of 31 amongst the Indians, and a decrease of 61 amongst the Chinese.
There were five deaths during the year, two Europeans, two Indians and one Chinese. The cause of death in two cases was Bright's disease, in other two cases Remittent Fever, and in the fifth Pneumonia.
25 of these were INFLUENZA.-There were 34 cases under treatment during the year. admitted during the months of January and February. Seven of the cases in January came from the Gaol, the first case being admitted on the 9th instant, the second on the 17th, three on the 23rd instant, and one each on the 24th and 25th instant. These men were all Turnkeys and were sent in to this Hospital by the Medical Officer of the Gaol, their symptoms were very similar the attack commencing with marked fever, temperature rising to 103 or 104° F. and accompanied by pains in the back and limbs and especially over the eyeballs, sore throat was complained of, and in most cases slight coryza and nasal catarrh were present. In a few hours these symptoms were aggravated by the presence of a troublesome cough, some thick viscid mucopurulent phlegm with difficulty being expectorated; and on the third or fourth day in all these cases there was a distinct pleuritic rub to be heard at the base of one or both lungs.
There were no In only one case did Pneumonia supervene, and that ran a normal course. deaths and the disease was not communicated by these cases to any patients who were then under treatment in the same wards.
In my opinion they were cases of the ordinary endemic Influenza always to be met with here in the cold months of the year, a little more severe perhaps than usual, for, as a rule, it has not been found necessary to admit such cases into the Hospital. I certainly do not think they can be classed with that aggravated form of the disease the epidemic type.
(vi.) TYPHOID FEVER.--There were 8 cases under treatment during the year with five deaths. Two of these cases were admitted from Canton, and the remaining six come direct to the Hospital from different ships, these all being Board of Trade patients. Three of them died within three days of their admission to the Hospital.
There was no case of Typhoid Fever under treatment in which the disease had been contracted in this Colony.
(vii.) CHOLERA.-There were only two cases under treatment during the year, both of these proved fatal.
The first case was that of an officer in the service of the Canton and Macao Steam-Boat Company He was admitted at 1.25 P.M. on the 29th August, in a state of collapse. Notwithstand- ing all that was done for him he rapidly sank and died at 10 P.M. that same evening.
He stated that the diarrhoea and vomiting had only commenced at 5 A.M. that morning. Post Mortem EXAMINATION.--Decided congestion of the stomach and small intestine, especially of the serous coat. The bowels contained "rice-water" fluid. Bladder was quite empty. Cultivations were made of the faces, some sterilised gelatine being inoculated with a small quantity of the stools passed before death, a distinct growth took place, the gelatine being liquefied all along the track of the needle, on staining the growth and examining it microscopically, a number of bacilli were seen, the rods being thicker than those of the comma bacillus, indeed in their microscopic appearance and in the manner of the test tube cultivations they resemble the "Spirillum Finklerii.'
:
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 941
The second case was that of a seaman from the S.S. Bellerophon, this was on her homeward journey from Japan.
He
was admitted at 12 o'clock on the 29th October, having evidently contracted the disease in Japan. He died some thirty hours after admission.
The Post Mortem appearances were very similar to those in the previous case, there being well marked congestion of the stomach, duodenum and jejunum.
year.
(viii.) DYSENTERY.-There were 69 cases under treatment as compared with 106 in the previous
During the year four deaths occurred.
This marked diminution in the number of cases coincident with a reduction in the number of Malarial fever cases (see paragraph IX) under treatment is to me a clear sign of the more general healthiness of last year.
An extended series of trials in the treatment of this disease by the administration of Arsenite of Copper has proved somewhat disappointing, and although in some cases it has been useful it is still on Ipecacuanha that we mainly depend for the successful treatment of this disease.
(ix.) MALARIAL FEVER.-The total number of cases under treatment was 339 as compared with 374 in 1890.
With reference to the Diagram Vd., instead of taking the whole number of cases under consideration I have limited the figures in this table to those occurring amongst the members of the Police Force. A great many of the cases admitted suffering from these fevers are sailors and others who have contracted the disease elsewhere, and, as this table is given with the idea of, if possible, ascertaining at which periods of the year this fever is most prevalent in the Colony, we cannot do better than confine ourselves to a fixed body of men like the Police, who are of necessity residents in the Colony, and from the nature of their occupation are constantly exposed to this disease.
During the past year note has been kept of the hours of duty of these men on their admission to the Hospital. The result of these observations is given in Table VIIc. From this it will be seen that 138 out of 173, or a ratio of 79.7 per cent., evidently contracted Malarial fever during the night. There is no doubt that the hours between sunset and sunrise are those in which the Malarial poison is most rife.
As any information with reference to this class of fevers is of great importance and interest, I give in the appendix a paper on the Remittent Fevers of Hongkong read by myself before the Hongkong and China Branch of the British Medical Association. This gives the result of our experience at this Hospital during the past four years.
(x.) BERI-BERI.-There were eleven cases under treatment all of whom recovered.
(xi.) VENEREAL DISEASES.--Although there is a diminution in the total number of cases under treatment during 1891 as compared with 1890, viz., 230 as against 266, on examining Table Vf., it will be seen that there has been a great increase in the number of cases of Primary and Secondary Syphilis, the numbers being 94 as against 43 in 1890, an increase of 118 per cent.
The one death was that of a delicate German sailor who was under treatment for Secondary Syphilis. He developed Pneumonia in the course of this disease, and his constitution was so undermined that he could not withstand this complication.
(xii.) INJURIES.-There is a considerable diminution in this class of cases, there being only 214 as against 363 in the previous year.
SURGICAL OPERATIONS.
(xiii.) HEPATIC ABSCESS.--There were two cases operated on during the year, one being a Marine Officer in the Post Office, and the other a Turnkey at the Gaol. They both died. In only one were we enabled to have a post mortem examination, and in this case the abscess in the right lobe of the liver, which had been opened, had almost healed; there were numerous other abscesses in the right lobe, and one large one in the left lobe.
In one of these cases there was a previous history of Dysentery.
TREPHINING. The result of the trephining was perfectly successful, the cause of death being the subsequent formation of an abscess in the opposite half of the brain.
TRACHEOTOMY.-The object of this was simply palliative, the patient suffering from advanced tubercular perichondritis.
AMPUTATIONS.-Herewith notes of the two fatal amputations:
(1.) Fracture of upper end of Tibia and dislocation of Fibula in a man at. 64.
From the first it was evident that the popliteal artery was either pressed on or injured by one of the pieces of bone, and, anastomotic circulation not being established, gangrene set in. Amputation at the knee joint was performed.
942
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
The wound had almost healed and the patient was in high spirits, when one morning five weeks after the operation, at 5 A.M., he was found dead in bed.
Post mortem examination showing extensive disease of the heart valves and vessels, death evidently having occurred from syncope.
(2.) Compound fracture of leg. This was the case of a native woman at. 60 in a feeble condition from want of nourishment, who was injured in a junk collision during a heavy gale. The leg was completely crushed and she was almost moribund. Amputation at the knee joint was rapidly performed, but the patient never rallied and died within 36 hours.
EXCISIONS.-In the case of excision of the elbow this was one of severe injury giving rise to profound shock leading one to suspect some abdominal lesion, and, at the post mortem examination, a rupture of the liver was found to be the cause of death.
(xiv.) The following fractures were treated in addition to those on which operations were performed :-

-There were 27 cases under treatment with 8 deaths. In each of the fatal cases the poisonous agent was opium.
I have to record that for the first time a conviction was obtained in the Supreme Court of the Colony in a case of Datura Poisoning.
Eight men were admitted on the 22nd October, presenting all the symptoms of Datura Poisoning. (Vide Report for 1888, Appendix C). Emetics, Apomorphia and Sulphate of Zinc were administered and in the vomit parts of the leaf and petals of the Datura alba were found.
13. SMALL-POX.-There were ten cases under treatment in the temporary Small-Pox Hospital with one death. This latter was a native of Zanzibar. He was admitted from the P. & O. S.S. Bengal, with the confluent variety, the disease evidently having been contracted in Japan.

The fees received from the patients in the Government Civil Hospital during the year amounted to the sum of $14,849.99; of this the Board of Trade paid $2,623.75, and the Police $1,136.17. Those received from the Lunatic Asylum amounted to $417, and those from the Small-pox patients to $478.75, giving a total of $15,745.74.
I take this opportunity of thanking those who have during the past year visited the patients in this Hospital and those who have kindly remembered them by forwarding flowers, books, periodicals, &c., for their use.

Appendix A.
THE REMITTENT FEVERS OF HONGKONG.
The subject of this paper, viz., the Remittent Fevers of Hongkong, is doubtless one of paramount interest to all of us.
It will be seen from the facts I now propose to lay before you that in this Colony violent and fatal remittent fevers have often appeared, indeed, it seems due to this cause and to this alone that Hongkong derived the unenviable excessively unhealthy reputation which at any rate it had in the early years of the Colony's History.
I purposely limit the scope of my paper to the Remittent Fevers of Hongkong, as it would be impossible in the short time at my disposal to consider the various types of Malarial Fevers that from time to time come to our notice.
Remittent Fever has been very prevalent during the last three years, and, in considering it, I will at the outset define what is meant by the term "Remittent Fever.
66
Definition.
A paroxyomal fever of malarial origin in which the paroxysms do not intermit, but only as the name implies remit (MACLEAN)."
I will now direct your attention to what I may term the Historical aspects of the disease in this Colony.
In perusing the Medical records of the early years of the Colony's history I have obtained much valuable information from the Annual Medical Report of the Colonial Surgeons.
Next I intend to discuss the etiology of the disease concluding with the symptoms treatment and termination of the disease as it has been observed during the past four years at the Government Civil Hospital.
History before 1842.
Dr. MACLEAN, formerly Professor of Military Medicine in the Army Medical School at Netley, who was encamped in Hongkong before it was ceded to the British Government, states:-"that at that time the soil was but little disturbed and the troops did not suffer; but when excavations were made at a subsequent period for the construction of the City of Victoria a fatal form of remittent fever appeared which caused great mortality."
1844.
From the Colonial Surgeon's report for 1844 we learn that Remittent Fever was then the most fatal malady.
1845.
In 1845, Dr. DILL, Colonial Surgeon, states :-" That there were 6 cases of deaths from Remittent Fever-five of these occurring amongst the Police and Overseers of Roads. It is recorded that one Government Officer at the Supreme Court died of low Remittent Fever, and another Constable who died at Stanley, though not treated by the Colonial Surgeon, presumably succumbed to malarial fever. The death rate this year amongst the Europeans and Portuguese is given was 1 in 183 or 54 per
1,000."
1846.
Dr. YOUNG, in his report of 1846, records 16 deaths from Intermittent, Remittent Fevers, and Dysentery, including that of Dr. DILL, the Colonial Surgeon, owing to whose death these diseases were not differentiated.
The death rate amongst the Europeans and Portuguese in this year is given as 1 in 132 or 75 per 1,000. These numerical statements cannot lay claim to great accuracy yet they will afford, it is hoped, a very fair criterion of the state of health and disease in the Colony.
1847.
Dr. MORRISON, Colonial Surgeon, in 1847 states that:-"There can be no doubt that the first colonization of this Island was attended with disastrous consequences to our countrymen and soldiers, and the ravages of Hongkong Fever were as fearful as similar visitations have been in other parts of
the world."
There is no classification of the different diseases in his report for 1847, but the death rate of the Europeans and Portuguese is entered as 35 per 1,000.
1848 seems to have been a very fatal year.
1848.
Dr. MORRISON reports of this year that six deaths from Remittent Fever occurred :-
"The first being that of a Policeman whose illness was of six days duration commencing with dysentery, it became complicated with symptoms of Remittent Fever, lastly the periods of exacerbation became indistinct and the disease assumed the form of continued fever with Gastro-enteritic irritation, death was not preceded by delirium. This man who had suffered previously from repeated attacks of fever was brought to Victoria from Stanley."
944
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
"In the second case, that of a strong healthy young man of temperate habits admitted from
Aberdeen, the disease ran through precisely the same stages.
"The third case was that of a young man of most robust frame, active intellect and temperate habits. In this instance the disease was of seven days duration and death was preceded by symptoms of stupor and low delirium."
I mention these cases as they agree in their characteristics with those I will describe later on as having occurred during the past few years. It will be observed that in the last case but one, there is a note that no delirium was noticed.
There were three other fatal cases that year amongst the European Police from this disease. Seven other European Police were noted as convalescent recovering from Remittent Fever. But they were unfortunately drowned in the month of August whilst on a cruise in an armed Police boat with some other convalescent patients.
During this year the average number of Policemen employed was :-
Europeans.
50
Indians.
130
Chinese.
28
Deaths.
35
Percentage of Deaths to persons 14.28 per cent. so that altogether in the Police Force amongst fifty Europeans, we have six deaths from Remittent Fever giving a percentage of 12, in addition to the seven convalescents who were drowned during the typhoon.
The death rate this year was as follows:
No. of Europeans.
963
No. Deaths.
125
A percentage of 12.90, (129 per 1,000.)
This is furnished by statistics from the Registrar General's Department.
In this year many deaths occurred in the 95th Regiment, concerning these Dr. GORDON, Staff Assistant Surgeon, states:-
"A large majority of the cases and the most fatal came from the South or rear range of the Barracks. The disease was first observed about the first week in May slightly increasing in June, in July a considerable increase in the number and severity of the cases took place, this continued during August, but sensibly decreased during September, the average duration of the disease being about 56 hours. Death generally occurred about the third day, though in many instances it occurred a few hours after admission." The disease was called by Dr. GORDON "Febris Remittens," and described as congestive and malignant. Dr. MORRISON, the Colonial Surgeon, considers this disease as nearly identical with the "Yellow Fever" of the West Indies which is said never to occur in the East, although indeed the earliest name of the "Yellow Fever" received was "Maladie de Siam."
"Maladie de Siam." He states "I was always of the opinion that although the fever of last summer was probably endemic it was not peculiar to this place." In illustration of this opinion he places in juxta-position with a case and his remarks given by Dr. GORDON; a case recorded in JOHNSTONE'S work on which occurred in Batavia in the month of August 1800, together with that gentleman's remarks.
Tropical Climates" by Mr. SHIELDS,
66
Mr. SHIELD's statement :-" Never was there a disease so deceitful as this Fever. I have frequently seen instances where every symptom was so favourable that I could have almost pronounced my patient out of danger when all at once he would be seized with restlessness, black vomiting, delirium, and convulsions, which in a few hours would hurry him out of existence."
Case.
"This was the case with Mr. BROUGHTON, Purser of the Daedalus, who died of the Batavian epidemic at the Edam Hospital. On the seventh day of his illness he took a change for the better and everything was promising. The morning before he died he expressed himself greatly relieved and called for some mutton broth and sago, both of which he ate with a good appetite spoke rationally and was in good spirits. Towards evening the delusion vanished, restlessness, black vomiting, delirium and convulsions supervened and carried him off before morning." *
Dr. GORDON, states :--" The Fever was of a very malignant and insidious character, the symptoms changing for the worse suddenly and without warning either to the medical attendant or to the patient himself. Although often visited and apparently much improved both in feeling and appearance, half-an-hour previous to his death he would suddenly became strongly convulsed, his skin intensely hot and dry, the surface asserting a livid hue, and thus the scene would close case.'
"Colour Sergeant STALEY, a stout healthy young man, was admitted on the morning of the 17th June, in the cold stage of Intermittent Fever, and in about six hours had gone through all the stages of the disease. When the intermission occurred, Quinine was administered. On the 18th he declared himself as feeling quite well and was apyretic, his pulse not even indicating the slightest constitutional irritation.
"About 4 A.M. on the 19th, I was called to see him and found him comatose and convulsed, with lividity, intense heat and dryness of the skin. Death closed the scene in a few minutes."
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 945
Note the difference between these two cases. I have no doubt in my own mind that these so ably described by Dr. GORDON were cases of what I term "Malignant Remittent Fever." Similar in almost the minutest detail with cases which have come under treatment in the Government Civil Hospital during the three years 1889, 1890 and 1891.
The symptoms of the Batavian case are, I think you will agree with me, plainly those of Yellow Fever.
1849.
In the Colonial Surgeon's report for 1849, the following extract from the work done at the Government Civil Hospital appears
66
Amongst the diseases, fevers of various types, and of these the remittent is the chief, are
the most numerous."
In every instance the malignant fever which has appeared in the Colony has been described to be of the remittent form, and certainly it is the prevailing disorder.
In the 95th Regiment, the large number of 94 deaths is stated to have arisen from "Intermittent Fever," it may be reasonably suspected that some of these, if not the greater number, were from the Remittent type, as it appears very rarely that a death occurs from the Intermittent variety.
The following table shows the fixed European population in Hongkong during the year 1849, and the proportion of deaths :---
No. of Europeans. Deaths.
987
64
Proportion of Deaths.
6.48 p.c. or 64.80 per 1,000. (Military and Naval forces not included). I think I have gone sufficiently into the early records of the medical history of this Colony to show that undoubtedly Remittent Fever was one of the main causes of the enormous fatality which then prevailed.
cannot but express my obligation to those who have, with great care, handed down the history of these cases and the valuable records made nearly half a century ago together with the details of their clinical history, which we even now, with our increased facilities for closer and more detailed observation, have not been able to scientifically formulate.
*
CAUSATION (Etiology.)
Remittent Fever is undoubtedly a non-contagious disease; it is strictly an endemic affection, and is found whenever its specific cause is generated in sufficient concentration.
Whatever that specific cause may be there is no doubt that in the experience of Hongkong when soil which has long been untouched is upturned, either by the process of excavation for building purposes, or by natural agencies, then does the fever become more rife and fatal.
There can be no doubt that freshly upturned earth is here a point of considerable importance in relation to the causation of this disease.
I might here introduce evidence in favour of this:-See the Report of the Fever Commission of 1888, the memo by Dr. YOUNG in my feport for 1889 concerning an outbreak of Malarial Fever at Kowloon Point caused by the extensive earth cutting required in the preparation of the site for the New Water Police Station at Tsim Tsa Tsui in the summer of 1878, or again Dr. PIKE's cases at North Point Battery as narrated by trim in his paper on "Malarial Fevers" read before the Hongkong Medical Society in 1885, and appearing in the Transactions of that Society.
On this point I think there is no difference of opinion.
According to TOMMASI CRUDELI (Lancet, November 1st, 1884), three conditions are necessary for the production of the Malarial poison :-
1st. A temperature of not less than 68° F.
2nd. A certain humidity of the soil.
3rd. The free action of the air on the soil which contains the ferment
In the summer months from May-September these conditions exist in this Colony.
As to the intimate cause of malaria Professor A. LAVERAN gave an account before the International Health Congress last year of the hoematozoa described by him in 1880:--
The Etiology of Malaria.
Professor A. LAVERAN, gave an account, illustrated by lantern demonstrations, of the hamatozoon described by him in 1880. It had, he said, since that date been recognised by many other observers. Its morphology was now well known. The chief forms which it assumed were described, namely: 1. The spherical bodies. 2. The flagella. 3. The cruciform bodies. 4. The rosette-like bodies. The flagella could only be demonstrated in fresh blood; the other forms. however, were well seen in preserved blood. The blood in paludism was easily studied by rapid drying and fixation of the specimen by heat, followed by staining with a concentrated solution of methyl blue or gentian violet; a double staining could be effected by successively immersing the specimen of dried blood in concentrated aqueous solutions of eosin and of methyl blue, whereby the red cells assumed a rosy hue, and the leucocytes, together with the parasitic bodies, were coloured blue. Nuclei had been observed in both
?
946 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
the spherical and the cruciform bodies. Two, and even three, different varieties of this hamatozoon had been described (polymorphism). Similar hamatozoa had been found in different animals-frogs, lizards, marsh-tortoises, birds. In many species of birds there was to be found a hamatozoon so similar to that of paludism, that most observers regarded the two forms as identical. The similarity was very marked, yet several points of difference existed: thus--in the blood of birds the cruciform bodies were not found; the parasitic elements were endoglobular, and never became free, as was often the case with the true paludic hamatozoon; and the amoeboid movements of the spherical bodies were much less notable in the case of the organism found in birds' blood. On the other hand, this latter hamatozoon had been observed in birds living in non-marshy regions; it frequently caused no inconvenience to its host, and the inoculation of blood containing this hamatozoon had given only negative results.
Yet, the study of this organism might be expected to throw light upon many obscure points in the life-history of the true homatozoon of paludism, with which it presented so many points of similarity.
Professor CROOKSHANK said that the evidence was in favour of the bodies described by M. LAVERAN being the cause of malaria, but it must not be forgotten that bodies of a similar nature had been met with in healthy animals.
Under the microscopes you will see specimens of what I consider to be the "hamatozoa" LAVERAN describes, they were prepared in exactly the same way, as described by him, but we must not forget that these hoematozoa may simply be a concomitant of the disease, and not its cause. (See Plate A. in Appendix.*)
Before proceeding to consider the Clinical History, I will now place before you the monthly tables of the Malarial Fever admissions to the Government Civil Hospital during the years 1888, 1889 and 1890.
From these it will be seen that in 1888 there were :---

1889 is evidently the most fatal year and also that in which the greatest number of cases were admitted. Eight of the nine deaths in this year occurred after the great rain storm of May 29th, this enormous downpour of rain :-consisting of 33'.11 inches, from 3 A.M., on the 29th May, to 5 P.M. on the 30th, (thirty-eight hours in all), washed down great quantities of alluvial soil from the many land- slips on the hill sides and undoubtedly must have set free the Malarial poison to an abnormally great extent. or in a more virulent form than had existed for some years.
The remittent cases in the last six months of this year were of a particularly malignant type. (See Diagram B. in Appendix.)
Four of these virulent cases occurred amongst the European Police and were briefly as follows:-
1889.
I. ANGUS MCAULAY, P. Sergeant, at. 34.
died on the 10th at 4.30 a m.
Admitted 3rd June from Hung Hom Police Station,
II. JOHN HAMILTON, P.C., at. 25, (only in Colony for a few months).
6th June, and died 2.35 A.M on the 7th June.
Admitted 9.50 p.m.
Temperature rising to 107°.4 shortly before death. He had been engaged on duty
by the bridge over the Nullah Kennedy Road.
III. HUGH PARKER, P.C., at. 23, Yaumati Station. Admitted 11th August, died 15th
August.
IV. D. McDONALD, P.S., at. 33. Central Station. Admitted 20th September, died 26thr
September.
(The notes and chart of HUGH PARKER'S case are given in the Appendix A.)
In 1890, there were at least six cases of the severe or malignant type of Remittent Fever, two of which proved fatal.

The Clinical History of these cases reminds one forcibly of the severe remittents which are recorded as occurring in the early years of the Colony's history.
CLINICAL HISTORY OF THESE CASES OF MALIGNANT REMITTENT FEVER.
Invasion.
The premonitory symptoms are the same as in all febrile disorders, namely, pains in the back and limbs, a feeling of lassitude, tenderness about the joints, nausea and headache.
As a rule these are of very short duration lasting only for a few hours, the onset of the fever paroxysm being very sudden and generally accompanied by distressing bilious vomiting.
Symptoms.
The patient at the first appears quite prostrated, countenance pinched and flushed, tongue generally foul and dry, bowels constipated, and complaining chiefly of headache, and distressing vomiting. On taking his temperature it will generally be found as high as 102° to 105° F., as a rule he is very restless and anxious.
In this condition the patient will remain for three or four hours or perhaps longer, then as a rule the urgent symptoms will to some extent subside, the temperature will fall two or three degrees, the skin becomes more moist, and the vomiting either ceases or becomes much less: this is the remission.
In some cases, however, where the patient is more severely attacked by the disease, no remission occurs, but the temperature will gradually but surely rise, despite every means taken to lower it, the skin remains dry and hot, the vomiting continues, rapid respiration sets in, the patient soon becomes delirious, the delirium passes on to coma, and death may occur, in a few hours.
This was the case with P.C. HAMILTON, admitted on 6th June at 9.50 P.M. He had been on duty that evening near the Bridge over the Kennedy Road, and, feeling ill, came into the Hospital. His temperature on admission was 105° F, antipyrin was given, and, by 11 P.M., the temperature had fallen to 104°.5 F., however, it soon rapidly rose from this point notwithstanding that he was wet packed and antipyrin administered but not retained, it continued rising, the patient soon became delirious coma supervened, and he died at 2.35 A.M. next morning, his temperature just before death being 107°.8, after death it registered 110°. F. in the rectum.
On admission this patient simply complained of distressing pains in the limbs accompanied by vomiting.
This man had only been in the force for some five months, and it is undoubtedly the case that new comers seem to be more liable to this malignant type of the disease.
The only case of severe remittent fever that has ended fatally in the Government Civil Hospital this year amongst Europeans is that of a gentleman who had only been in the Colony for a few months and this was his first attack of fever; he was not smitten down quite so suddenly, but he succumbed after a week's severe illness. (Temperature chart attached).
In cases where remission occurs it will last from 2 to 10 hours and then the exacerbation supervenes, the temperature probably rising some two or three degrees higher than in the initial attack.
The urine is acid, high coloured and generally contains a trace of albumen.
As the temperature rises during the exacerbation, all the symptoms become more severe, as a rule drugs are now quite useless as the stomach rejects everything, the patient soon becomes delirious, and unless active measures are taken to lower the temperature, coma sets in and death in a short time may occur.
Duration.
Is from a few hours to as many weeks. MACLEAN states "that death is rare before the eighth day," but in some of the cases I have named death has occurred in a few hours..
Varieties.
There are at least three varieties of Remittent Fever met with here :-
1st. The Malignant type in which the patient seems to be quite overcome by the virulence of the poison, this resists all the modes of treatment we know of at present, and proves fatal generally under a week. (See case of HUGH PARKER in Appendix.)
2nd. The purely Remittent, in which the onset is sudden and severe followed by exacerbations and morning remissions ultimately ending in recovery generally under a fortnight. (See case of LOCKHEAD in Appendix.)
3rd. The mixed type, in which at first the patient is suffering from Intermittent Fever, the temperature falling to normal in the morning, but in a few days the remittent type sets in and runs its course as before described. (See case of WELTZ in Appendix.) 4th. The so called "Typho-Malarial" fever, I think this term should be blotted out of our nomenclature, there are so far as I can ascertain no such diseases as a hybrid of enteric fever and malaria or a transformation of malaria into enteric. The disease to which this name has been applied by authors is either a severe form of remittent fever with marked nervous prostration, or else enteric fever occurring in a patient who has pre-
950
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
viously suffered from Malaria, and in which the latent malarial poison is roused into activity and considerably modifies the existing disease. We see this every day in malarial patients with surgical injuries, the fever consequent on such injuries often takes on an intermittent or remittent type and unless this is borne in mind grave errors in diagnosis if not in treatment may take place.
Complications and sequela.
Occasionally tetanoid spasms and epileptiform seizures have been met with, more frequently a low form of Pneumonia has occurred. In more than one case retention of the urine has been met with, and is probably due to the direct action of the poison on the nervous system.
Treatment.
In the milder cases of Remittent Fever, it is our custom to first of all open the bowels with some aperient, a modification of Livingstone's powder being preferred, viz:-Calomel grs. iv, Quinine grs. v, Pulo Rhei or Japapa Co ad 3i.
After that has been given according to the temperature either Phenacetin or Antipyrin is prescribed, the former in mild cases in doses of iv grains-x grains administered every 4 hours, and the latter in twenty grain doses repeated hourly for the first two hours, if the temperature has not fallen by this time two further hourly doses of ten grains each are given.
As a rule antipyrin will lower the temperature. When the remission occurs Quinine is given in 5 grain doses hourly until the temperature rises to 101° F. or 102° F., after that it is useless to give it as the stomach nearly always rejects the drug.
In the severer cases where antipyrin and phenacetin prove useless, as soon as the temperature rises to 106° F., which it will do very rapidly even in the first exacerbation, ice-packing is applied, by this I mean that the patient is placed on a mackintosh sheet covered with a sheet dipped in ice-cold water, ice being packed all over his body and an ice-bag applied to his head.
It is simply marvellous to see the beneficial effect of such treatment in these severe cases. A patient who previous to it is violently delirious soon begins to calm down, and as the temperature falls he regains consciousness, his pulse becomes quieter and less rapid, and all fears of a sudden fatal termination are at an end. See notes on LOCKHEAD's case.
In an hour the temperature has been reduced by this means 10° F.
Having effected this the patient is replaced in bed and the hypodermic solution of the acid hydrobromate of Quinine is injected, the favourite sites being either the Deltoid or the muscles of the calf.
During the ice packing the patient must be carefully watched as symptoms of collapse may set in, when stimulants must be administered.
The patient generally falls into a short sleep and has some hours respite the temperature, however, frequently rises again. When the next exacerbation occurs a wet sheet applied over the body will often suffice to control the fever. Sce LOCKHEAD's case..
Morphia has been found very useful calming the mental anxiety, inducing sleep and probably acting as is supposed by many as an anti-periodic.
Pathological anatomy.
Congestion of the mucus membrane of the stomach.
Intestines frequently congested no ulceration, simply inflammation of mucus membrane, rosy-red appearance. Most important changes are found in the Spleen and Liver, these viscera being frequently enlarged.
It has been recorded that in Malarial fever as met with in Hongkong, the spleen is not enlarged (vide Dr. PIKE's paper).
However, the following are results of some of the post mortem examinations performed in the Government Civil Hospital :
1. Chinaman HO YUNG, died 31st December, 1889, cause of death Remittent Fever. Spleen
weighed 17 ounces, very soft and diffluent.
2. Indian KOSHAL SINGH, I.P.C. 589, admitted 14th April, 1891, suffering from Remittent Fever, died 13th June, 1892. Post Mortem :-Spleen weighed 20 ounces, very soft indeed, the splenic tissue under the capsule was quite diffluent.
3. Chinaman YEUNG TSO-SHING, admitted 3rd August, 1891, suffering from Remittent Fever, died 7th August. Post Mortem :-Spleen weighed 14 ounces, soft and friable. Liver weighed 68 ounces.
4. Indian NUTTA SINGH, died 3rd August, 1890, cause of death Remittent Fever. Post
Mortem :-Spleen weighed 39 ounces, fibroid enlargement.
This enlargement of the spleen and liver is not confined to Indians and Chinese as it is also met with in the case of Europeans suffering from Malarial Fever.
We have never met with the pigmented condition of the spleen so frequently described in Medical Text Books.

to be given at once and another dose in an hour's time as the skin was very dry and hot, at 9.45 P.M. the temperature had risen to 107°.6 he was now placed in a bath temperature 98° F. this was cooled down by ice to 76° F. in 10 minutes his pulse began to intermit and became weaker in strength, he was removed from the bath and 3i. brandy was given; his temperature was now 101°.4 F.
At 11 P.M. it had risen to 105°.6, rt 11.30 P.M. it was 106° F., at 12.25 A.M. (13th) 107°.4 and at 12.45 A.M. 108°.6 F. ice-packing was at once commenced; at 1 A.M. temperature was 107°.6 twenty grains of quinine were now given. At 1.23 A.M. it was 107°, as the temperature did not seem to fall notwithstanding the wet-packing another twelve grains of quinine were given. At 1.33 A.M. temperature was 105°.2 F., at 2.15 A.M. 104°.8, at 3.05 A.M. 101°,4 F., and at 3.35 A.M. it registered 100°.8, all during this time the pulse was quick and weak, small doses of iced champagne were frequently administered. Ice-packing was now discontinued; at. 3.45 A.M. after he had been placed in bed, sixty minims of the hydrobromate solution of quinine were injected hypodermically and 5 grains of quinine were ordered every hour in the form of a pill. At 5 A.M. it had, however, risen to 101°.7, half an ounce of Warburg's Tincture was now given, at 6.30 A.M. it had risen to 104°.2 F., and at 7 A.M. 105°. At 7:45 A.M. 105°.8 F. was registered, wet-packing was again commenced and continued to 10 A.?. when it was IQ2°.2 this was now discontinued ten minims of the hypodermic solution of quinine were administered, the temperature, however, steadily rose again, and at 4.45 P.M. was 106°.6 F., wet-packing was again used and continued to 7.30 P.M. when the temperature had fallen to 99°.8 F., quinine was given as before, but notwithstanding that this was persevered with every hour the temperature steadily arose again, and at 4 A.M. on the 14th registered 108° F. Recourse was again had to wet-packing and the temperature by this means was lowered seven degrees by 7 A.M.
As will be seen from the chart (No. 3.) the temperature rose twice again that day to over 105° F. when the same treatment was used, this last time at 12 midnight the temperature fell in half an hour three and a half degrees. It arose again steadily that day (15th) until 6.45 A.M. when it was 105°.2 F. wet-packing was again commenced, and continued until 8.45 A.M. when temperature was 100°.6 F.
In the evening (7.30 P.M.) as the temperature had again risen to 105.8° and the skin was very dry two-thirds of a grain of pilocarpin was injected hypodermically and although in few minutes it produced profuse perspiration this was only temporary. The temperature fell in 20 minutes to 105.4° the skin, however, soon became dry again and at 9.55 P.M. registered 108° F., wet-packing was again commenced and notwithstanding this at 10.10 P.M. the temperature was 108.8°, at 10.25 P.M. it had fallen to 106.8°, as he was now in a state of collapse, pulse almost imperceptible, he was placed back in bed a hypodermic of brandy was now given, his temperature soon rose again, at 11.20 P.M. it was 108°, and at 11.35 P.M. the patient died, shortly after death the temperature (per rectum) was 110° F.
Remarks.-This was one of those peculiarly malignant cases of remittent fever in which quinine seems to have no effect.

CASE OF REMITTENT FEVER; HIGH TEMPERATURE; RECOVERY.
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 A.M. was still 103° F., grains of antipyrin were given; 11.30 A.M. temperature 105.4° F., the patient was now placed in a twenty 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 hypodermically; 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 acid 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 acid hydrobromate of quinine' were injected. At 1.15 A.M. his temparature 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.M. was 102.4°.
Distressing vomiting now commenced and at 6 A.M. a mustard plaster was applied to the epigastrium; 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.?. 102.8°, by 1.30 P.M., it had fallen to 101° when sixty minims of the hypodermic solution of the acid 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-sleet 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.M.); at 11.30 A.M. 10 grains of the acid hydrobro- mate 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
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 953
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., ten gains 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 :--
Re Liquoris Strychnia
Aqua Chloroformi Aqua aa
.m. iv.
3ss. ter die sdm.
On the 26th instant, the quinine. pill was reduced to once every two hours, and on the 27th instant to once every four hours; on 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 reduction 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, and with the temperature registered (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 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.

REMARKS.
.3ss. .zi. tdsdm.
The first attack was evidently one of intermittent fever, the second being of the remittent type. In these severe cases I am firmly of opinion that the only way to combat the fever is by the application of external cold and administering quinine hypodermically as soon as the temperature falls, it being useless to give it by the mouth as the stomach will not retain anything.

Enclosure 2.
Report from the Medical Officer in charge of Gaol Hospital.
GAOL HOSPITAL, HONGKONG, 1st March, 1892.
SIR,-I have the honour to forward the annual report together with tables of the work done in this Hospital in 1891.
2. During the past year, 364 men were admitted into Hospital, 22 of whom were for observation. In this class are comprised 8 men that were sent by order of the Magistrate for medical certificate as to sanity.
3. The diseases from which these patients were suffering are described in Table K.
4. Tables L and M show the number and percentage of prisoners that were admitted on the first medical examination and the nature of their complaints.
5. The cases that were treated without being received into Hospital, are recorded in Table N. They amounted to 558, including a woman and a man that were put under observation.
6. In an establishment like this, there are frequent occasions for performing minor surgical operations, which I do not think it is of any importance to enumerate here.
7. Abscess of foot, which used to be very common, has sensibly decreased from the time that Major- General GORDON, who was then Superintendent of this Gaol, directed on my recommendation, that the rough surface of the yard in which the prisoners work daily, should be smoothed.
8. Abscess of legs and ankle-joints have almost disappeared, since it has been made the rule for short-sentenced prisoners to wear also, for protection of their skin, canvas girdles under the fetters.
9. Two children were born in the Gaol in the months of July and August. The first one was a premature child and survived only a few hours. The mother was in a weak state, and had been imprisoned only seven days before she gave birth. The other child was nursed and thrived well in the Gaol, until his mother completed the term of her sentence.
10. The matron Mrs. M. NOLAN, who acts also as a nurse whenever there is any sick female prisoner, is very attentive to her duties, and by her tact, has been very successful in persuading the women to obey the rules of the Gaol.
11. There have been eight deaths amongst Chinese prisoners, from the following causes: Cerebral embolism (in a debtor), Fatty heart, Catarrahl Pneumonia, General Debility, Meningitis, Emphysema and Cerebral ancemia from attempted suicide by hanging, and two cases of perforation of intestines by typhoid fever in its healing stage.
12. All these men, with the exception of the debtor who had no work to do, were excused from hard labour, and those whose sentences did not exceed fourteen days imprisonment were told to pick only a few ounces of oakum instead of one pound and a half, which constitutes the full task according to the regulations. Some of them had been more than once in this Gaol. The one who died of general debility was so weak and emaciated with a big ulcer over the sacrum, that Warden FLORES who saw him in the receiving cell shortly after he was sentenced, thought it prudent to remove him into the Hospital.
13. The Magistrate at the request of the friends of the debtor, did not order an autopsy on the body of the deceased. This man had also been in this Hospital two months previously, with paraplegia and articular rheumatism from which attack he completely recovered.
14. The rate of sickness and mortality are given in Table 0. Although two more deaths occurred last year than in the preceding year, the number of admissions into Hospital was four less than in 1890, and there was a considerable diminution of cases that were treated without being detained in Hospital.
There have been eight cases of albuminuria.
The greater proportion of sickness was due to anemia and general debility, and there has been also an increase of trifling affections, as scabies and tinea circenata.
15. All the physicians are aware that ipecacuanha, which is the best known specific for certain forms of dysentery met with in the tropics and subtropical climates, cannot be swallowed in big doses by every patient, however well prepared it is, without producing some unpleasant effects.
From the observation made at the post mortem examinations on the bodies of those who had succumbed to acute dysentery, I noticed that the lower portion of the large intestines was chiefly affected.
I began in 1890 to prescribe for the dysenteric patients, enema of ipecacuanha to be administered twice daily. To relieve at the same time the tenesmus, a little opium draught was ordered to be taken every eight hours. The experiments made on various patients were most satisfactory. I found that by adopting this method, the cure was more rapid and the patients get the full benefit of the drug, without feeling any of its drawbacks.

17. The number of opium smokers that were received into Hospital and the diseases which they had, are given in the Table P.
18. Table Q shows the weight of opium smokers for the first four weeks of confinement. This work was done as usual, by warden FLORES and assistant warden HAMED.
19. The house which is occupied by female prisoners is very small and does not possess proper accommodation. The same thing can be said of the quarters in which the debtors are lodged.
20. My longer experience in dealing with prisoners, does not change the belief which I have stated in the previous reports, that the best and the simplest remedy for overcrowding, is to favour free emigration of ex-convicts to newly explored or thinly populated country such as Borneo, where there is great need of cheap labour. This enterprise could be undertaken by a private Company, and it would prove both philanthropic and remunerative. Those men could be placed for better security, under Police supervision.
21. A large number of prisoners are in this Gaol, because they cannot get food outside.
22. According to the report of Mr. A. M. THOMSON, the acting Superintendent of the Gaol, twenty five prisoners had returned last year from deportation.
23. From enquiries made, I am of opinion that many old convicts either impelled by hunger or the temptation of a vagabond life, and unable to obtain honest occupation, are not deterred by the recollection of previous punishment, but frequently return to their former criminal mode of life committing robberies and assaults.
There are, no doubt, dangerous characters, men of criminal types in this Gaol, but they are few. 24. Adequately severe punishment, in some case, would be barbarous. Many prisoners who deserve to be put on hard labour, escape it owing to enfeebled health or to old age.
25. This Gaol is also a kind of workhouse for the destitute and mendicants. I am not aware of the existence of any soctety in this Colony for helping the Chinese who are in the circumstances above described.
I have the honour to be,
Sir
Your most obedient Servant,

2. Under this head nine investigations were conducted. Of these six were for the Police Magistrates, two for the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital and one for H. B. M's Consul in Canton.
3. The Magisterial cases included a search for poison in the viscera of five persons, as to the cause of whose deaths enquiries were being held. In three instances Opium was detected, and in two cases no poison was found. In the sixth Magisterial enquiry application was made for the examination of two
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 957
specimens of Chinese medicine (pills and powder) with a view to ascertaining whether or not they came within the scope of section 54 of Ordinance No. 4 of 1865. Both these medicines were recommended to be used for procuring abortion. The powder was intended as an external application to the pit of the stomach and was found to consist of chalk coloured with a small percentage of vermilion. The pills consisted chiefly of vegetable substances but did not contain any recognizable organic principle. A minute quantity of vermilion had been used to give them a reddish appearance.
4. The contents of the stomachs of two patients who had died in the Civil Hospital were examined at the request of the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital. Opium was detected in both instances.
5. In the investigation made at the request of H. B. M's Consul in Canton, chloral and sulphonal were detected in the contents of the stomach of a European male adult who had died in that city.

6. The work under this section included the quantitative analysis of 24 samples of Milk and 63 samples of Water.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
12, With the exception of the samples collected in January, February, April and May the specimens were found to be clear when observed in a column 24 inches long. It is, however, only right to mention that, in the early part of the year, the filter beds could scarcely be expected to show the best results. They had not been in working order many days when the first samples were collected; and, until after the first considerable fall of rain in May, had not been fully tested with an abundant supply of water. Moreover, owing to the long drought, water at the lowest levels of the reservoir containing a large amount of suspended matter, had to be utilized.
13. This consideration, however, only affected the appearance of the water during four months of the year and then only to a slight extent. From June onwards the samples left but little to be desired in this respect.
14. Throughout the year there was a complete absence of free ammonia, and on no occasion did the albuminoid ammonia and oxygen absorbed reach higher figures than .0042 and .031 respectively.
15. The results given in columns ii to vii, whether viewed collectively or singly, are eminently satisfactory. At any period of the year the Pokfulam water as supplied to the consumer may be classed as a water of great organic purity.
16. In the following table will be found the results of the analyses of filtered water from the Taitam service. The samples were collected at a fountain at the lower end of the Peak road :-

17. The only unsatisfactory feature in this table is the abnormal character of the water recorded in May. In this instance the water was collected a few days after a very heavy fall of rain. In the last week of April the Taitam supply was nearly exhausted, and, with the first downpour, a large quantity of earthy matter was washed down the exposed slopes of the reservoir which had the effect of making the water exceedingly turbid. On the 19th, the day on which the May samples were collected, the water contained, by the time it reached the beds, fully 8 grains per gallon of suspended matter. In paragraph 5 of his Annual Report for 1891, the Resident Engineer gives 800 gallons per square yard per diem as the maximum rate of filtration. The removal of this quantity of suspended matter therefore involved the deposition of about one pound of clayey matter on each square yard of the filtering medium or one ton on the surface of the 6 beds during the first twenty-four hours. This had the effect of rapidly reducing the rate of filtration, and in a few days only an insignificant quantity of water was able to pass through. In this emergency the beds were overtaxed and a considerable quantity of unfiltered water had to be run into the service tank for several hours in order to keep up the supply pending the cleansing of the filters. If, however, excluding the figures recorded under May, a mean be calculated on the results of the analyses in the remaining 11 months, it will be found that the filtration of the Taitam water has ben during that period as efficiently conducted as that from the Pokfulam area. For practical purposes the means may be said to correspond.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
959
18. With regard to the remarks in column i, it will be seen that the appearance of the Taitam water on the whole was scarcely so satisfactory as that from Pokfulam. This will no doubt continue to be the case until bye-passes, similar to the one in operation at Pokfulam, are constructed round the reservoir to intercept practically clear water from the streams after a heavy fall of rain. In point of fact, to the absence of this provision may be attributed the turbid or whitish appearance of the water in May and some of the succeeding months. To demonstrate the usefulness of the bye-pass constructed round the Pokfulam reservoir in 1890 it is only necessary to compare the results of the examination of unfiltered samples from both sources in May. The Taitam water contained 13 grains per gallon of solids in solution and suspension against 2.5 grains the amount contained in the Pokfulam water.
19. On the 3rd July.a report was called for on the whitish appearance of the Taitam water, public attention having been drawn to the matter at a meeting of the Sanitary Board.
20. During my absence in Australia an investigation was conducted by Mr. E. W. LUCAS, the Acting Government Analyst. The interesting report he submitted to Government on this subject, dated the 11th of September, will be found in full in the section of the Blue Book returns for 1891 devoted to the Resident Engineer of the Water and Drainage Department.
21. In view of the fact that there has been during the past year a feeling of uneasiness in the public mind with regard to the Government water supply, I should be wanting in my duty if I refrained from recording my conviction that such uneasiness has been wholly without foundation.
22. In an important commercial centre like Hongkong too much publicity cannot be given to the fact that no exception on hygienic grounds can be taken to the quality of the public water supplies. It is no exaggeration to say that never in the previous history of the Colony has such a good water in every respect been supplied to the City of Victoria as was the case last year. From a point of view of either inorganic or organic purity, the Hongkong water supplies will compare favourably with the best water supplies of Great Britain. Indeed I cannot point to any water supply at home yielding such admirable results as those found in tables A and B in this report. And what to the mind of any sanitarian is a matter of still greater importance are the exceptional conditions under which the waters are collected. In the Taitam water-shed pollution with animal excreta is out of the question; and in the case of the Pokfulam gathering ground elaborate precautions have been adopted to divert into other channels any sewage from houses situated therein.
to
23. Neither the Pokfulam nor Taitam waters are as bright as I should like to see them, and, in this respect, their appearance is not so good as that of many well waters. This ought not, however, induce residents to have recourse to shallow wells for a supply of clear and bright water for table ·· purposes. I have good reason to believe that this practice largely prevails. In 1887 I reported to the Sanitary Board on the quality of the water from 328 wells in the City of Victoria. Of these 199 or 60 per cent. contained an excessive amount of free ammonia and 223 or 68 per cent. afforded evidence of the existence of nitrites, in many instances in considerable quantity. In waters of this type the occurrence of Only 51 or 15 nitrites is regarded as unmistakable proof of the presence of fresh decomposing sewage. per cent. contained less than 2.0 grains of Chlorine per gallon. In the absence of chemical evidence as to purity the extreme desirability of residents abandoning the use for dietetic purposes of water from shallow wells in the City would therefore appear to be very
evident.
24. The other waters alluded to in par. 9 of this report do not call for any special remarks.
25. In concluding this the eighth annual report I have had the honour to submit to the Government of this Colony I am glad to be able to state that the make shift arrangements which I have hitherto been compelled to put up with will in the course of two or three months be a thing of the past.
26. The construction of the new building at the corner of High Street and Eastern Street, which includes, in the wing at the western end, a spacious laboratory, is now practically completed. The preparation of the drawings for the internal arrangements is in progress; and if sufficient time is placed at my disposal it will be possible before the close of the present year to undertake several important investigations of Chinese poisons which have been so long delayed.
27. I avail myself of this opportunity to convey to Mr. E. W. LUCAS the assistant apothecary of the Civil Hospital my best thanks for the conduct of the Government analytical work during my absence or leave.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT,
HONGKONG, 30th May, 1892.
SIR,-I have the honour to present to you the Annual Report on Education in Hongkong for the year 1891.
2. GENERAL EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS.-The total number of Educational Institutions known to have been at work in the Colony of Hongkong during the year 1891 amounts to 215 Schools with a grand total of 10,119 scholars under instruction during the year. This constitutes an increase of 475 scholars as compared with the preceding year. Among those 10,119 scholars, there were 8,103 scholars attending 119 Schools under the supervision of the Government and receiving State aid in some form or other, whilst 2,016 scholars attended 96 Private Schools independent of Government supervision or aid, excepting the fact that those few of them 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 361 scholars of mature age and the West Point Reformatory attended by 70 young scholars, both of which Schools are exempt from the control of the Education Department, the total number of Schools subject to supervision and examination by the Education Department amounted in the year 1891 to 117 Schools, as compared with 72 Schools under the Education Department in the year 1881 and 26 Schools in the year 1871. The total number of scholars enrolled in those 117 Schools during the year 1891 amounted to 7,672 scholars, as compared with 4,372 scholars in the year 1881 and 1,292 scholars in the year 1871. There was thus, during the decade 1871. to 1881, an increase of 46 Schools with 3,080 scholars, and a similar increase of 45 Schools with 3,300 scholars. during the decade from 1881 to 1891. The population of the Colony increased, from 121,985 people in 1871, to 160,402 in 1881 and to 224,814 in 1891, showing an increase of 38,427 souls in the first decade and nearly double of that in the second decade, viz., 64,412 souls. It is clear, therefore, that the ratio of increase in schools and scholars, during the last twenty years, has been lagging far behind that of the rapidly increasing population of the Colony.
4. PROGRESS DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS.-Comparing the statistics of individual years, I find that the number of schools and scholars under the supervision of the Education Department rose from 104 Schools with 7,107 scholars in the year 1889, to 112 Schools with 7,170 scholars in 1890, and to 117 Schools with 7,672 scholars in 1891. The annual increase of scholars amounted in the year 1888 to 284 scholars, in the year 1889 to 849 scholars, in 1890 to 63 scholars and in 1891 to 502 scholars. The annual rate of increase, unusually high in the year 1889 and exceptionally low in 1890, was therefore rather good in the year 1891.
5. COMPARATIVE STATISTICS OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS AND VOLUNTARY SCHOOLS.-Referring now to those 117 Schools, with 7,672 scholars, which were under the supervision of the Education Department in the year 1891, there were as many as 5,132 scholars attending 81 Voluntary Grant- in-Aid Schools where they received a Christian education, whilst 2,540 scholars attended 36 Depart- mental Government Schools receiving a secular education. The secular Government Schools are all free schools with the exception of two (Victoria College and Girls' Central School), the fees of which are, however, below the average of similar Voluntary Schools. The latter offer Chinese instruction free of charge but require for English instruction school fees ranging from one to three dollars a month for each scholar, with extra charges for certain special subjects. The secular Government Schools having all their expenses provided by Government are, as a rule, better housed and have better school materials and a larger and better paid staff than the religious Voluntary Schools. Nevertheless the latter are annually growing in public favour for the reason that the teachers of Voluntary Schools, whose salaries depend upon the efficiency and results of their teaching, are as a rule compelled by self-interest to be more painstaking in attending to the progress of each individual scholar. The subjoined Table exhibits the comparative development of Voluntary and Government Schools since the starting of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme of 1873.

6. SITUATION OF SCHOOLS.-The local distribution of the above mentioned 119 Public Schools under the supervision of the Government and the additional 96 Private Schools is on the whole satisfactory. Where the population is densest, the Schools are indeed too closely crowded together. In such cases, a combination of every cluster of small Schools into one large School would of course be preferable, both from an educational and from an economic point of view, but the high rate of house rent and the absence of suitably constructed houses make such a measure at present impracticable. But, though the central districts of the town have Public and Private Schools inconveniently packed together, the suburbs and the villages are comparatively speaking as well supplied with Schools. And yet, in all the purely elementary Schools in town, there is hardly a vacant seat to be found and the accommodation on the whole, though annually expanding in proportion to the growing demand for education, is below the actual requirements. Happily, the elastic character of our Grant-in-Aid System is such that wherever in the Colony there is a sufficiently strong demand for a new School, an attempt will with automatic certainty be made by the people to start a Grant-in-Aid School to meet that demand. Such Schools occasionally come to grief after a year or two and collapse again if the attendance is not sufficiently large to secure a substantial Grant. But the system is clearly capable of meeting every reasonable demand in any locality, as soon as the demand is strong enough. The only portions of the Colony where there is, owing to the absence of a sufficient demand, a topographical dearth of Schools, are the Praya from West Point to East Point, Aberdeen and the Peak District. In the two former cases the almost total absence of educational demands on the part of the boat population, the scarcity of family dwellings all along the whole line of the Praya and the unhealthiness of Aberdeen, are a sufficient explanation. In the case of the Peak District, the slight but growing demand for a Mixed School is at present too discordant, in social and religious respects, to encourage the starting of a Private or Grant-in-Aid School, and too feeble yet to demand a Departmental District School. But -a School will be wanted on the Peak very soon and if the Government were to grant the use of a piece of ground and building to a Committee, the School could easily be worked so as to be self-supporting. But as to the boat population, something will have to be done as soon as possible to bring them into the education net. One point in connection with the topographical distribution of our 36 Departmental, 81 Grant-in-Aid and 96 Private Schools deserves to be pointed out and that is, that, although those 81 Grant-in-Aid Schools are denominational Schools, giving a distinctly religious education, they are so widely scattered and so freely interspersed with the other Schools, that any tax-payers, objecting to religious education, will find some other School within easy distance to send their children to.

7. EDUCATIONAL EXPENDITURE OF THE GOVERNMENT.-The sum total spent by the Government, in the year 1891, for educational purposes ($72,983) amounted, after deducting the school fees ($12,624) repaid into the Treasury, to $60,359. This sum is equal to 3.26 per cent. of the total revenue of the Colony and constitutes an increase of $4,277 as compared with the expenditure of the preceding year. The principal items of the educational expenditure, incurred by the Government in the year 1891, are as follows:-Grants-in-Aid to Voluntary Schools $19,960, Victoria College $18,159, Departmental District Schools $8,271, Inspectorate of Schools $5,760, Government Central School for Girls $2,855, Government Scholarships $2,269, etc. The total number of scholars educated in the Colony at the expense or with the aid of the Government, in the year 1891, being 7,672, the education of each scholar-cost the Government (after excluding cost of two Government Scholarships held in England) $7.49 per scholar. In the several educational institutions the cost to Government of the

HONGKONG, 30th May, 1892.
SIR,-I have the honour to present to you the Annual Report on Education in Hongkong for the year 1891.
2. GENERAL EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS.-The total number of Educational Institutions known to have been at work in the Colony of Hongkong during the year 1891 amounts to 215 Schools with a grand total of 10,119 scholars under instruction during the year. This constitutes an increase of 475 scholars as compared with the preceding year. Among those 10,119 scholars, there were 8,103 scholars attending 119 Schools under the supervision of the Government and receiving State aid in some form or other, whilst 2,016 scholars attended 96 Private Schools independent of Government supervision or aid, excepting the fact that those few of them 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 361 scholars of mature age and the West Point Reformatory attended by 70 young scholars, both of which Schools are exempt from the control of the Education Department, the total number of Schools subject to supervision and examination by the Education Department amounted in the year 1891 to 117 Schools, as compared with 72 Schools under the Education Department in the year 1881 and 26 Schools in the year 1871. The total number of scholars enrolled in those 117 Schools during the year 1891 amounted to 7,672 scholars, as compared with 4,372 scholars in the year 1881 and 1,292 scholars in the year 1871. There was thus, during the decade 1871. to 1881, an increase of 46 Schools with 3,080 scholars, and a similar increase of 45 Schools with 3,300 scholars. during the decade from 1881 to 1891. The population of the Colony increased, from 121,985 people in 1871, to 160,402 in 1881 and to 224,814 in 1891, showing an increase of 38,427 souls in the first decade and nearly double of that in the second decade, viz., 64,412 souls. It is clear, therefore, that the ratio of increase in schools and scholars, during the last twenty years, has been lagging far behind that of the rapidly increasing population of the Colony.
4. PROGRESS DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS.-Comparing the statistics of individual years, I find that the number of schools and scholars under the supervision of the Education Department rose from 104 Schools with 7,107 scholars in the year 1889, to 112 Schools with 7,170 scholars in 1890, and to 117 Schools with 7,672 scholars in 1891. The annual increase of scholars amounted in the year 1888 to 284 scholars, in the year 1889 to 849 scholars, in 1890 to 63 scholars and in 1891 to 502 scholars. The annual rate of increase, unusually high in the year 1889 and exceptionally low in 1890, was therefore rather good in the year 1891.

COMPARATIVE STATISTICS OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS AND VOLUNTARY SCHOOLS.-Referring now to those 117 Schools, with 7,672 scholars, which were under the supervision of the Education Department in the year 1891, there were as many as 5,132 scholars attending 81 Voluntary Grant- in-Aid Schools where they received a Christian education, whilst 2,540 scholars attended 36 Depart- mental Government Schools receiving a secular education.

In the several educational institutions the cost to Government of the
E

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 963
education of each scholar enrolled in 1891 was as follows:-in the Government Central School for Girls (including rent of hired building) $29.13 per scholar, in the Victoria College (not including cost of building) $16.38 per scholar, in the Departmental District Schools (including rent of hired buildings) $6.19 per scholar, in the Grant-in-Aid Schools $3.83 per scholar. The latter Schools, however, or rather the Missionary Societies conducting them, spent from their own private resources, in the year 1891, the sum of $51,444.11 on the education of 5,132 scholars, or $10.02 per scholar, receiving from the Government as Grant-in-Aid for 1891 (after deducting the bonus paid to the teachers) the sum of $16,933.03 or one third of their actual expenses, (strictly speaking 32.97 per cent.). The Grant-in-Aid system, as compared with the system of promoting education by means of Departmental Government Schools, commends itself not only by its comparative cheapness, as the above figures show, but by its being more elastic, in adopting its work to the varying needs of the people, and more in touch with their demands. A Grant-in-Aid School, for instance, cannot force unserviceable subjects upon unwilling scholars as a Government School can do, nor can a Grant-in-Aid School refuse to turn itself into a distinctly Commercial School when public needs demand it. A Grant-in-Aid School takes up secondary education at the precise time, and to the exact extent, called for by the actual demand of the public, and I have no doubt whatever but that the Grant-in-Aid system of Hongkong is capable of supplying all the educational needs of the Colony in proportion as they arise or expand. In England there are no Departmental Schools, but all departmental educational efforts of the Government are confined to giving aid to existing voluntary national schools and to encouraging the starting of such voluntary secondary schools or classes as are needed for technical, industrial or artistic purposes. This is what I desire for Hongkong in the dim future. But this cannot possibly be done here for some years to come. For the present, I think, the Governinent must, whilst expanding by all available means the system of aiding voluntary efforts in education, continue all or most of its Departmental Schools, all of which are really elementary. But whilst the promotion of elementary education is continued by means of both Departmental and Voluntary Grant-in-Aid Schools, the promotion of secondary education must be encouraged exclusively by the cheaper Grant-in-Aid system and not
by means of Departmental Schools. What I recommend therefore is in effect to assimilate the educational system of Hongkong, so far as principles are concerned, to that of England, by expanding the system of Government Grants-in-Aid in favour of all forms of education and confining accordingly Departmental Schools strictly to their present legitimate sphere of elementary
education.
In my last Report I quoted the precedent set by the Indian Government, because, like the Government of Hongkong, it had of necessity at first to start Departmental Schools. Since 1883, however, the Indian Government now seeks to correct the anomaly of the Government's assuming the schoolmaster's role, and endeavours by gradual and cautious steps to assimilate the educational organization of India, so far as its root principle is concerned, with that of England, by stimulating private effort in every branch of education and confining the educational work of the Government (with the exception for the present of the sphere of elementary education for which Departmental Schools are still needed) to giving Grants-in-Aid and general supervision to effective schools of all grades that require it, whilst continuing Departmental Schools for secondary education only in places where voluntary effort will not or cannot supply what public interests require, or only until such Departmental Secondary Schools can safely be handed over to private efforts.
8. NATURE OF THE EDUCATION GIVEN IN THE SCHOOLS OF THE COLONY.-As regards the 117 Schools with 7,672 scholars under the supervision of the Education Department in the year 1891, 20 Schools gave to 2,873 scholars of English, Portuguese, Indian or Chinese extraction an English education (combined with classical Chinese teaching in the case of 9 of these Schools with 1,879 scholars, mostly Chinese); 4 Schools gave to 184 Portuguese children a European education in the Portuguese language; 3 Schools gave to 171 Chinese children a European education in the Chinese language; and 90 Schools gave to 4,444 Chinese children a classical Chinese education in the local Chinese vernaculars (Punti or Hakka). In other words, among 7,672 scholars under instruction in the year 1891 in Schools under the supervision of the Education Department, 12.94 per cent. received a purely English education, 24.49 per cent. received an English education combined with instruction in the Chinese classics, 2.39 per cent. received an elementary European education in the Portuguese and 2.22 per cent, in the Chinese language, and finally 57.91 per cent. received a purely Chinese education. As all these schools were either entirely supported by the Government or aided on the basis of payment for results ascertained by examination, it may be of interest to state the proportion of public funds devoted, in the year 1891, to the support of those several branches of education. For the promotion of purely English education the Government paid in the year 1891 the sum of $6,185; for the promotion of English education combined with Chinese instruction $25,504; for the promotion of European education in the l'ortuguese language $1,253; for the promotion of European education in the Chinese language $1,170; and for the promotion of Chinese education (in the Chinese language only) $17,750. The English education above referred to, though mainly elementary, trends, in the higher classes of seven local schools, upon the subjects of secondary education, as including not only Drawing, Music, Latin, Algebra, Euclid and Physical Geography, but also Book-keeping, Chemistry and Animal Physiology. Two local Schools (St. Joseph's College and Diocesan School) which, as stated in my last Report, lately turned into distinctly commercial schools, in response to local needs, have added to their programme, one the subject of short-hand and the other the working of a type-writer.

9.--FEMALE EDUCATION.-Though to a certain extent still in a backward state, female education is evidently making rapid strides in Hongkong to reach a normal condition. As to the proportion of boys and girls under instruction, one could not expect hitherto to see the two sexes equally represented in the Schools of a Colony like ours, where the mass of the population (the Chinese), whilst generally appreciating the value of a scholarly education in the case of their boys, are yet to a great extent sceptics as to the good that their daughters can get by attending school, or, looking upon girls generally as destined by nature to be merely domestic slaves or drudges, dread the enfranchising effects of female education. Nevertheless the unceasing efforts made by the Government, particularly through the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, to enlarge and improve from year to year the opportunities offered to the people to get a gratuitous education (including industrial needlework teaching) for their daughters, have had good effect with the Chinese who, with all their national prejudices against female education, are too shrewd to reject advantages offered free of expense. In 1851, when the Colony was ten years old and the population amounted to 32,983 people, there were 219 scholars under instruction in Public Schools, of whom 193 were boys and 26 girls. In 1861, when the population had risen to 119,321 people, the attendance of the Public Schools rose to 1,017 boys and 251 girls. In 1871, the population numbering 124,198 souls, there were, as proved by the Census of 5th May, 1871, as many as 2,230 boys and 476 girls under instruction. Two years afterwards (1873) the Grant-in-Aid Scheme came into operation, and from that time onward the proportion of girls to boys improved rapidly, with tolerably steady regularity, as will be seen from the subjoined Table shewing the proportion of boys and girls attending schools subject to the supervision of the Education Department from 1873 to 1891. It will be observed that in 1891 there were 2,791 girls under instruction in the schools referred to. 2,791 girls, as many as 2,532 attended Grant-in-Aid Schools whilst only 259 attended Government Schools. As a matter of fact, the extension of female education in the Colony is almost entirely due to the Grant-in-Aid system and to the efforts of the local Missions, which are vigorously pushing on education both in town and the villages, and latterly striving also to bring the girls of the boat population, in Yaumati, Hunghom and Shaukiwan, under the influence of education. The only portion of the population whose girls were hitherto neglected by the Missions were the Eurasians, and to supplement this defect the Education Department has of late been making special efforts by means of the new Government Central School for Girls. Female education is, however, not merely expanding as regards the number of girls gathered into schools, but the quality of the instruction given in them is also improving from year to year, and in this respect the stimulus applied by the Belilios Medal and Prize Fund deserves special mention.

10. ATTENDANCE AND NUMBER OF UNEDUCATED CHILDREN. -For the first time in the history of the Colony, the Census of 1891 provided, at my suggestion, the means of ascertaining the exact number of children of local school-going age (6 to 16 years) in the Colony. The result is a saddening revelation. So far as the resident civil population is concerned, the result is indeed very near to what, by a rough estimate, I annually calculated it to be. In his Census Report of 15th August, 1891, §19) the Registrar General states that on 20th May, 1891, "there were in Hongkong, of persons of school-going age (6 to 16 years), 783 Europeans or Americans, 184 nationalities other than Europeans, Americans or Chinese, and 21,331 Chinese (children), making a total of 22,298 (children of school- going age)." Referring (in § 20) to a Return, taken on the Census day, of children actually found present in School, the Registrar General further remarks, "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
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 965
attending school may be estimated at 8,893 which sum comes near the number actually enrolled in 1891, 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." These statistics, referring to the children of the resident civil population, deduced from the Census of 1891, are very much what I had expected, confirming my former annual calculations, viz., that in Hongkong, as in England, about one half of the children of school-going age actually come under instruction in public or private Schools. But a careful analysis of the Census tables revealed the fact that the above given nuinber of 22,298 children of school-going age takes no account of the children of the local boat population, in whose case the returns furnished only the number of children under 17 years of age. As we may safely assume that the proportion of boat-people's children of 5 years and under, to those of 6 to 16 years, is about the same as in the case of the resident civil population, viz., 30.45 per cent., I find that there were, among the 10,927 boat-people's children under 17 years (6,196 boys and 4,731 girls) as many as 7,601 children. (4,310 boys and 3,291 girls) of school-going age (6 to 16 years). Hence we have before us the startling fact that in 1891 there were in the Colony altogether 29,899 children who ought to have come under instruction, whilst the registers of all the Schools under the Education Department in the year 1891 and the returns of the Private Schools show an enrolment of no more than 9,758 children (leaving the Police School out of the calculation). In other words, the saddening fact stares us in the face, that in spite of the existence of 215 Schools in the Colony (as proved by the Census) which are with the exception of Victoria College mostly crowded, and in spite of every effort made by the Education Department, and the Registrar General who has always most cordially assisted (by means of his District Watchmen), to stimulate school attendance, there were in 1891 as many as 20,141 children of school-going age in the Colony who attend no school. Of a total of 15,748 boys of school-going age only 6,657, or 42.27 per cent., attended school, (viz., 4,951 in Schools under Government supervision and 1,706 in Private Schools). Of a total of 14,151 girls of school-going age, only 3,101, or 21.91 per- cent., came under school-instruction (viz., 2,791 in schools under the Education Department and 310 in Private Schools). The case of the boys is not bad, certainly no worse than in Ireland, as nearly one half of the boys of school-going age do attend School. But the principal defaulters in the matter of school attendance are clearly the girls, and of this point the Government has been aware all along. Of the 7,601 children (6 to 16 years) of the boat population and of the purchased servant girls (of the same age), there are at present hardly 200 or 300 coming under instruction.
Things are however not half as bad as they look. It must be understood that although our local school-age is correctly fixed, not at 5 to 13 years as in England, but at 6 to 16 years, because the majority of children in this Colony do require, for a proper education, at least 4 years at Chinese and 6 years at English studies or 10 years at Chinese classical studies and the average age observed among scholars is actually 6 to 16 years, yet of the 20,141 children of 6 to 16 years of age not attending any school in 1891, a large number had been in Chinese Schools previously for 2 to 4 years and then went into business life without finishing their education. Consequently we may, I think, safely say that of the 20,141 children of local schol-going age, who, in 1891, attended no school at all, a large number, possibly one half, though they must technically be classed with the uneducated, have received some sort of education, such as their parents think sufficient, and are not absolutely illiterate.
I am
Under these circumstances I think, that, though there is indeed a danger of illiteracy increasing in Hongkong at a greater ratio than the population, still the drastic European remedy of a compulsory attendance law with its frictional working-gear of School-Tax, School-Boards, Attendance Committees. and Police Court prosecutions, is neither necessary nor practicable under local circumstances. satisfied that the Government will sufficiently discharge its duties by giving to our local school system, which has slowly but healthily developed in the shadow of the Colony's exuberant growth, as wide and as rapid expansion as financial means allow, with a view to provide, as soon as possible, additional school accommodation for about one half of our uneducated or imperfectly educated children. In other words, what we have to aim at is to bring at least half of the number of children of school-going age, say fifteen thousand scholars, under instruction in local schools. But as we have provided at present for hardly ten thousand of them, and as the number to be taken into consideration increases from year to year, a determined effort will have to be made immediately to further the expansion of elementary education in the most economic and efficient way possible. What I think has to be done therefore is, in the first instance, to retrench expenditure in all Departmental Schools, so far as it can be done without impairing their efficiency, and secondly to make every possible effort to encourage voluntary educational enterprise and to expand in every direction the Grant-in-Aid system rather than the more expensive Departmental Schools. But, further, special efforts will have to be made to bring into the education net the children of those classes of the population which habitually deny them the privileges of education. I venture therefore to urge, as in former Reports, the advisability of compelling by law the registration and education of all purchased servant girls in the Colony. I do not know, and have no means of ascertaining, how many children of school-going age are under the local system of domestic bond-servitude. But, at a rough guess, I think there may be two thousand of them or more. Again, I would recommend once more to prohibit by law the employment, at public labour, of children apparently under thirteen years of age. Next, I think, special efforts will have to be made to apply moral pressure to the boat population to arouse them to a sense of the educational needs of their

children. This can be done by the appointment of a Chinese Attendance Officer, as suggested in 1889 by the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and by the supply of additional Schools at Taikoktsui, Yaumati, Aberdeen and Shaukiwan. But as the foregoing measures will put an additional strain on our annually increasing educational expenditure, I venture finally to subinit for the consideration of the Government, with particular reference to the need of School-houses and Building Grants, the question whether it may not be advisable to create, in some way, a special School Fund. I find it stated on good authority that the excellent provision which the United States, in the absence of the ancient educational endowments of Europe, have made for Schools of all grades is principally due to a law made in 1785, that "in all new States thereafter to be added to the seventeen then existing a special appropriation of one sixteenth of the public land should be reserved for the purpose of supplying a School Fund." It seems to me that some similar measure is needed in Hongkong to provide for the future. To conclude this list of the most pressing of our present educational needs, I beg to point out, with reference to 14 boys of school-going age found, on the last Census day, in prison, that the present impossibility of effectively segregating and educating juvenile offenders whilst in prison, and the absence of power to forcibly detain inmates of the only local Reformatory, constitutes not only a serious educational defect, but one that is likely to create habitual criminals. The principal statistics of children remaining uneducated will be found concisely summarized in Table XVI. appended to this Report.
11. RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL EXAMINATIONS.-As far as the 81 Voluntary 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 1891, is stated and compared with the results of the preceding year, and in Table XV. which records the percentage of passes gained by these schools in each subject. As regards the Departmental Government Schools, the reports of the Headmaster of Victoria College and of the Headmistress of the Government Central School for Girls have been published in the local papers and in the Government Gazette. The Departmental 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, however, a few critical observations as to those examinations the results of which have not yet been sufficiently brought forward.
12. VICTORIA COLLEGE.-With a staff consisting in the aggregate of a Headmaster and thirty- eight teachers, viz.: 8 English and 10 Chinese Masters with 8 salaried pupil-teachers and monitors all available for English work, and 4 other Chinese Masters for Chinese instruction as well as 8 further Chinese Masters assisting the corresponding number of English Masters and with an enrolment of 1,108 boys, Victoria College brought only 709 boys under examination, the average attendance throughout the year being 759 boys. The examinations were conducted, as in the preceding years, by the Head- master and myself conjointly. The Headmaster set the papers for the English examination and I revised and added to them. The examination of the Anglo-Chinese Division and of the pupil-teachers training- class, as also the English reading of the whole College, was taken by myself in the presence of the Headmaster. The subjects for English composition and the whole of the papers for the examination of the Chinese Classes, were set by myself. The written answers of the boys having been marked and adjudged by the Headmaster, he announced on prize-giving day the results of this joint examination, as they appeared to him, and embodied his own views (as to. results obtained in the pupil-teachers' examination, and in the several classes of the Upper, Lower, and Preparatory Schools with special reference to Mathematics, English Dictation, Composition, Grammar and Shakespeare) in his report which was read on the same occasion and published in the local papers and in the Government Gazette. I confine my remarks therefore to those subjects which the Headmaster's report passes over in silence, though it gives me pleasure to be able to say that a perusal of the boys' papers has once more impressed me with the fact that the School does really excellent work, on the whole, in the subjects of Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and Mensuration. But while the School is decidedly apt to produce specialists in mathematics, the teaching of the specifically English subjects appears to be proportionately less successful. There are, however, peculiarly unfavourable circumstances surrounding the English teaching of Victoria College. The majority of the boys as well as the Masters are Chinese who seldom speak or hear a word of English outside the School. The boys who, before entering the College, have passed through four or more years' study of books written in classical Chinese have, in Victoria College, English reading books put in their hands which in no way connect with the social, moral and national environment of a Chinese brain, home or school, but plunge these boys head over heels into a sphere, congenial indeed to the English-bred school-boy, but to these Chinese lads utterly bewildering, besides presupposing an amount of knowledge of idiomatic and technical English phrases which every English school-boy has at his fingers' ends when first entering school but which are Greek to these Chinese youths even when they have spent five or six years in Victoria College. Under these circumstances, when commencing the English reading examination of the College, I told the Headmaster that I would ignore mispronunciation of any words of foreign origin and pass anything below three gross failures of simple Saxon words contained in five lines from that portion of the reading book of each class which had been read and explained in the ordinary reading lessons within the previous few months. Applying such a low standard, I expected every boy of ever so mediocre attainments to pass easily. But I was sadly disappointed. I subjoin a Table of Results which speaks for itself. It appears to me to confirm what I have pointed out in former reports, viz., that English
-
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 967
ought to be taught by Englishmen and that many classes in Victoria College are too large for an effective lesson. It is also self-apparent from the subjoined Table that when English reading is taught all the way up from Class VIII, C to III, 4, in 15 out of 21 classes, by Chinese teachers to whom English is an absolutely foreign and uncongenial tongue, the result must be disappointing. It is a maxim of the theory of education that the best teaching is required in the lowest classes of a school because there the foundation for all after-work is laid, and in its highest classes because there the scholar receives the finishing impressions with which he will go into the business of life. But all the best teaching power of Victoria College appears to be confined to the highest and smallest classes, some of which the vast majority of the scholars never enter, and where the teacher of English History, Shakespeare or Chemistry is perpetually compelled to stop and teach the A B C over again. On this point, I believe I am expressing what the English Masters of the College bitterly feel to a man. Giving an English Master a general superintendence of classes for each of which after all a Chinese Master is responsible, is no remedy for the evil I refer to.

I have good reason to believe that the English teaching of Victoria College does not, of late, satisfy the Chinese community, for whose particular benefit this School exists. The Chinese, as a rule, do not openly or directly complain of official establishments, but they have an ugly way of expressing their discontent by anonymous libellous epigrams. I believe they have the impression that the teaching of the College is too bookish, too theoretical, not practical enough for the average business requirements of Hongkong. I think I can understand the sub-conscious ideas underlying these views. The Chinese know even better than we do that filling the scholar's head with undigested facts and hard scientific English terms, whilst giving him a mechanical smartness in performing certain mathematical operations, is not education. At the last examination of Victoria College I had a class of big Chinese boys before me who could readily work out stiff problems in Arithmetic in precise and neat English form. But when I had an easy sum like 64,501,607 written on the black board as a test of elementary notation and asked them merely to read or write it off in Chinese, they one and all could not do it. They could write stilted Chinese prose essays and turn rhymes according to the intricate rules of antique Chinese prosody. They could easily read or write off and work fractionally in
968 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
English form sums of any number of digits: but the rudimentary principles of English and Chinese arithmetical notation were lying, side by side, in their brain cells, mutually un-amalgamated, because individually unassimilated. What I thus noticed in the case of Arithmetic, Chinese parents no doubt constantly observe in other respects. Hence their discontent.
The peculiar educational problem which Victoria College is, by its very constitution, called upon to solve is not to teach in Hongkong English as it is taught in England, but neither is it to teach English and Chinese side by side (as some worthy people in Hongkong would have it), which practically means to teach as much high class English and mathematics, side by side with as much classical Chinese, as can be stuffed into a boy's brain without manifest over-pressure. The real problem which Victoria College, as an Anglo-Chinese School, has to solve is, how to give Chinese boys an elementary English education in all its branches, the sole object being to teach them English, but so as to help them step by step to transform all English knowledge newly imparted to them into their own Chinese flesh and blood by connecting the former with the inherited and acquired mental possessions of the latter. If I am right in this, then the educative methods and whole organization of the College require a radical reform.
year
And now that I have for the thirteenth time conducted the annual examination and reported upon this College, I respectfully but urgently solicit Her Majesty's Government to relieve me in future from active connection with this sort of joint examination. For the last fourteen the unnatural but assumedly unavoidable combination of the Inspector of School's general test examination (in the interest of the public) and the Headmaster's individual result examination (for the purpose of promotion and prizes in the interest of the scholars) has produced an annually increasing train of perplex harassments crowding in upon me at the very time when the examinations of over six thousand children outside Victoria College tax body and mind most heavily. I have no desire to shirk work or duty. I am prepared at any time to examine and report upon Victoria College, as in the case of any other School included in the Education Department of which I was appointed Head in March, 1878, but I earnestly beg to be relieved from the difficulties inherent in this present anomaly of combining an examination for prize and promotion purposes which properly belongs to the Headmaster alone, with the general test examination of a public educational institution which is the natural duty of the Head of the Education Department whoever he be. The former examination must necessarily be held at the close of the school year, and if the latter were to be undertaken at some other time, say in the middle of the year, neither would then clash with the other as at present.
I subjoin the usual statistics forwarded to me by the Headmaster, representing the detailed results of the joint examination as adjudged by him.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
13. GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.--In spite of the repeated changes that took place in the staff of this School which has had within less than two years of its existence, three successive Headmistresses, and notwithstanding the smallness of the hired School-house and the insuitability of its location, the Girls' Central School has justified its establishment. There can be no doubt now but that the School has supplied a felt, though unexpressed, educational want of Eurasians in the first and of Chinese and Europeans in the second instance. The annual examination showed satisfactory results, such as testified to the efficiency of the teaching given in the School's Upper and Lower Divisions, there being clear evidence of steady progress in the English as well as in the Chinese classes, with the exception of the Arithmetic of the Lower Division. The want of proper accommodation and the absence of a playground are sadly restraining the expansion and proper management of the School, the whole of which is now crowded, while the Lower Division urgently needs subdivision by the formation of an infant class for children under six years. The interest which Lady ROBINSON has taken in this School and the liberal offer of the Honourable E. R. BELILIOS to provide a school-house, promise a bright future for a School which is just emerging from the chrysalis state of a mere experiment but sadly needs wings and free room to expand and prosper in the sunshine of public favour. We have nothing as yet in Hongkong of the so-called "new education" with its kindergartens, form study, hand-and-eye training, manual, industrial, technical and cookery instruction. Nor have we any pressing need for any of these subjects with the exception of the first, the kindergarten. One of the best modern authorities on education, Dr. HARRIS, United States' Commissioner of Education, has stated it as his conviction, that " without a compulsory law, the period of school influence could only be extended by drawing children into school earlier." That being so, I see under our present local circumstances additional reasons for satisfying the urgent need for an infant division to be added to the Girls' Central School by the establishment of a normal kindergarten than which there is no better means in existence, nor any better adopted for the peculiarities of Hongkong, in order to draw children into school earlier. But FROEBEL'S system of educating the natural activities of child-nature, on the basis of the analogy existing between the development of humanity and that of the individual, is a thing complete in itself and cannot be applied to Hongkong in a half-hearted or partial manner. It must be taken as a whole or left alone. But I trust the Government will courageously take the lead in this respect and introduce, when the time for it is ripe, a genuine kindergarten normal school in Hongkong as a guide for the development of private effort in this direction. I have urged this measure for years upon private educationists, but none have taken it up yet.
14. DEPARTMENTAL DISTRICT SCHOOLS.-Among the 34 Departmental District Schools (outside Victoria College and Girls' Central School), there were in the year 1891 six Anglo-Chinese Schools (at Saiyingpun, Wantsai, Wongnaichung, Stanley, Yaumati and Shaukiwan) with a total of 525 scholars, as compared with 510 scholars in 1890, shewing hardly any increase, as the respective School- houses do not admit of any more boys being squeezed in, except perhaps at Wantsai. The Saiyingpun Anglo-Chinese School was moved in the course of the year into the first of those new District School- houses the building of which was resolved upon twelve years ago. Every available seat in the English class rooms of the new building was filled on the day of opening. The demand for additional opportunities for English teaching at Wantsai was so great that it became necessary there also, as at Saiyingpun, to make no more provision for teachers' quarters in these school-houses but to utilize any available space for class rooms. At Shaukiwan, however, the school-house, which had accommodation for 75 scholars, had for several years past a rapidly decreasing attendance, the house being believed by the people to be haunted by evil spirits that caused wasting disease, and. by a Sanitary Committee condemned as unhealthy, which is really only another way of expressing the truth underlying that vulgar superstition. The functions of that School, which was closed in September, were virtually taken over by the London Mission, under the Rev. Dr. CHALMERS. The continued unhealthiness of the Stanley Departmental School which has for years past been sadly interfering with the health and lives of the successive alien teachers, without affecting the attendance or health of the indigenous scholars, attracted the attention of the Government and led to the resolution to erect as soon as possible a school-house there in a suitable locality, but whether this will improve the sanitary conditions of the School remains to be seen. The English teaching of these Schools is, on the whole, of a mediocre character and illustrates that sad defect of local education, the absence of a training institution. The remaining 28 Departmental Schools, with 809 scholars receiving a purely Chinese, but classical, education do not call for any remark.
15. GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOLS.-Ten new Grant-in-Aid Schools were started in the year 1891, viz., 1 by the American Board Mission under the Rev. J. R. TAYLOR, 5 by the London Mission under the Rev. Dr. CHALMERS and 3 by the Roman Catholic Mission, under the Lady Superioress of the Italian Convent, and 1 other School (the High School, under Bishop RAIMONDI) took the place of the defunct Hongkong Public School by a mere change of location and management. Three of those new London Mission Schools (at Taikoktsui, Shaukiwan and Praya Central) and those three Schools of the Sisters of the Italian Convent (at Yaumati, Hunghom and Shaukiwan) were principally intended to bring the school-shy children of the boat population under instruction. But the efforts thus energetically made have not as yet met with much success, except perhaps at Shaukiwan where the Italian Sisters and Miss JOHNSTONE of the Female Education Society are beginning to get some educational influence among the girls of the boat population. The London Mission, under the direction
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 971
of the Rev. Dr. CHALMERS, has of late years been taking an increasingly prominent position in the educational movement of the Colony, there being at the present day as many as 32 Schools under the charge of Dr. CHALMERS, assisted by a Lady manager Miss DAVIES, 18 of those Schools being Girls Schools. In all the Grant-in-Aid Schools the tendency, remarked upon in former Reports, to develop the standard of instruction in the direction of secondary education has steadily continued. The cry for a seventh standard accordingly becomes louder every year. It was my intention to make a recommendation to the Government in the course of the year to extend the scope of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme by adding a seventh standard in the case of Schools of Classes III. and IV. (giving a European education) and revising the value of passes, besides adding a seventh standard, in the case of Schools in Class I. (giving a Chinese education). But the measure involves as much financial as educational considerations, and under present circumstances, when the expansion of the elementary basis of our educational structure makes such pressing claims upon the financial resources of the Government, I deem it more urgent to continue enlarging our foundations than to build at the top, lest we be providing for the educational needs of the few to the neglect of the crying necessities of the many. The measure will have to be postponed therefore for a short time, but it will receive due attention as soon as there is a prospect of the necessary financial means being forthcoming.
The annual examinations proved satisfactorily that our Chinese as well as our English Schools are making steady progress in improving from year to year their methods and organization. The steady increase of special subjects is also a feature indicating the general vigour pervading the Euglish teaching Schools. Special mention must be made of the Victoria English Schools as a whole and particularly of the Girls Division which has of late been taking a foremost place, so far as examination results and general thoroughness of its work is concerned, among the Girls Schools of the Colony. St. Joseph's College and the Diocesan School also continue to distinguish themselves by the alacrity and success with which they have responded to the call of the Colony for a distinctly commercial education, and by the great attention they bestow on the subjects trenching upon a secondary education in their special classes of scholars who have passed beyond the sixth standard of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. I would specially recommend to those two Schools as well as to the Victoria English Schools, High School and St. Paul's College School to aim at the introduction of evening continuation classes for the particular benefit of former scholars who have left school but feel the need of further instruction in the rudiments of secondary, technical or scientific instruction. The Italian Convent, finally, deserves special commendation for the praiseworthy efforts made by the Sisters to develop the taste for drawing, painting and music among the boys and girls of the Colony by scientifically graded instruction in these subjects.

Total of certificates issued, 6. The foregoing results may be summarized thus :-Diocesan School, 8 passes and 3 distinctions; St. Joseph's College, 6 passes; Victoria College, 4 passes.
17. BELILIOS MEDAL AND PRIZE EXAMINATIONS.-The usual competitive examinations for Belilios Medals and Prizes were held at the City Hall on 22nd and 23rd December, 1891. Twenty- nine scholars of seven different local Schools took part in the competition. In the Boys Division (Composition on a subject of commercial Geography, Algebra, Mensuration and Book-keeping) St. Joseph's College gained the 1st, 3rd and 4th prizes, and the Diocesan School the 2nd and 5th prizes. In the Girls English Division (Composition, History and Physical Geography) the Victoria English School took the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes. In the Girls Chinese Division (Composition, Translation and Arithmetic) the Victoria Home and Orphanage School took the 1st and 4th prizes and the Basel Mission School the 2nd and 3rd prizes.
18. PHYSICAL TRAINING.-Physical drill, in accordance with the system adopted in all British Army Schools, was introduced in Hongkong in spring, 1891. The Government provided the salary of a Drill Instructor whose services were placed at the disposal of every School in the Colony. Ten Public Schools and 1 Private School (3 of the number being Girls Schools) availed themselves of the offer, and physical drill quickly became a very popular institution among Chinese as well as European scholars, and at two public prize-givings (Diocesan School and Victoria English Schools) highly
972 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
successful exhibitions were held, testifying of the progress made in this branch of instruction. The proposal to establish a Swimming Bath for the use of local Schools has fallen through for want of a suitable locality. A public playground has been provided, at West Point.
19. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.-There is no Industrial School in the Colony with the exception of the West Point Reformatory which gives to its voluntary inmates instruction in shoe-making, tailoring, book-binding and gardening. But the needlework instruction, which is an important feature in every local Girls School, has in all the Chinese Schools a distinctly industrial aspect. Thousands of girls -and women among the Chinese support themselves or contribute to the support of their families by doing shoe-binding and particularly embroidery work for shops in Hongkong and Canton. In the Departmental Girls Schools and in most of the Grant-in-Aid Schools the needlework instruction is, at the desire of the parents, conducted with special regard to the industrial value of Chinese female needlework in Hongkong.
20. MEDICAL EDUCATION.-The local College of Medicine for Chinese is vigorously continuing its philanthropic work in giving several classes of Chinese students a thoroughly scientific medical and surgical education. The College is, however, in great need of a suitable building, which is likely to be provided by the munificence of the Honourable E. R. BELILIOS.
St.
21. SCHOLARSHIPS.-The Victoria College enjoyed in 1891 the benefit of the Morrison Scholarship, the Stewart Scholarship and four Belilios Scholarships, each of the value of sixty dollars a year. Joseph's College had the benefit of two Belilios Scholarships of the same value. The Medical College was aided by a Government Scholarship, the Watson Scholarship and two Belilios Scholarships.

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 Council met pursuant to adjournment.
The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 14th June, 1892, were read and confirmed. NEW MEMBERS.-The Honourable A. J. LEACH, Acting Attorney General, and The Honourable J. J. BELL-IRVING took the oath of allegiance on their appointment to a seat on the Council.
His Excellency then addressed the Council as follows:-
HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,
I have much pleasure in meeting you again for the transaction of public business, after a vacation which you have doubtless enjoyed.
I must confess, however, that it is not an unmixed pleasure, as I have to lay before you and to endeavour to explain a state of affairs, so far as Finance is concerned, which cannot be considered entirely satisfactory.
On the 25th January last, adopting the Estimates for 1892 as handed down to me, and making allowance for a loss of $114,000 on the Opium Farm, I remarked that the anticipated Revenue of $2,144,178 would not be secured, but that we might expect about $2,030,178. The ordinary expenditure was estimated at $1,773,918 leaving a possible surplus of $256,260. It appears likely that the total receipts for 1892 will be about $2,067,216. Of this sum, however, at least $50,000 is due to the reduction of the arrears of taxes outstanding at the end of 1891, through their energetic collection by the Treasurer's Department during the
1000
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
current year. $20,000 has also been received from the Military Authorities for the Lazaretto. These sums, the latter being purely a casual receipt, cannot be regarded as Actual Revenue, though they come within the year's receipts. The same may also be said of the deferred payments of the Opium Farmer; but deducting the two first items from the $2,067,216 before mentioned, we find that the true Revenue of 1892 will be $1,997,216, approximately, or $33,000 less than was estimated by me on the 25th January last.
The Estimate of Expenditure for 1892 was as follows:-
Ordinary Expenditure $1,773,918, Public Works Extraordinary $680,078, making a total of $2,453,996.
The Ordinary Expenditure will be about $1,782,000 and Public Works Extraordinary $583,000, making a total of $2,365,000. Supposing $2,067,216 to be the actual receipts of 1892 and $2,365,000 the total Expenditure, Ordinary and Extraordinary, we have a deficit on the year's transactions of $297,784. On the other hand, allowing that the Ordinary Revenue, as distinct from Receipts, is $1,997,216 and the Ordinary Expenditure $1,782,000, we find that there is an excess of $215,216 of Ordinary Revenue over Ordinary Expenditure. This surplus unfortunately, however, is subject to further reduction for the following reasons.
A practice has been in force here for many years past in dealing with the public funds, which without full explanation must always have rendered the annual statement of the financial position of the Colony more or less unintelligible, if not misleading, to Honourable Members.
It has been usual to pay the charges for Establishments for the month of December and other Expenditure incurred towards the close of the year from the respective votes for the following year.
As regards the charges for Establishments the amount does not probably vary much from year to year, but the "Other Expenditure" always varies. The result has been, as you will easily understand, that the position of the Colony in regard to its finances has never in recent years been as correctly presented to Honourable Members as it might have been.
In the accounts which will be laid before you in future you will find that the Expend- iture will, as far as possible, be brought to account against the votes of the year in which it was incurred.
The adjustment will increase the Ordinary Expenditure of the current year by an amount which is estimated at $100,000, and the estimated surplus of Revenue over Ordinary Expenditure will be accordingly reduced from $215,216 to $115,216. If, as might fairly be done, the opium arrears were deducted from Revenue and dealt with as a casual receipt, the estimated surplus would be still further reduced from $115,216 to $65,216.
I now lay on the table the Estimates for 1893. They have been very carefully prepared. The Estimate of Revenue is $1,906,396, and the Estimate of Expenditure, i.e. Ordinary Expenditure, $1,899,611, leaving a possible surplus of $6,785. This Expenditure, however, includes a new item of $40,000 to which I will presently refer.
It is evident from these figures that as I premised in January, a Loan has become an absolute necessity. In the absence of such assistance, the only alternative will be to stop all further execution of Extraordinary Public Works.
Many of them are in progress and when completed will prove directly remunerative. Some will tend to develop the Colony and thus indirectly augment the revenue. Others are works of necessity. None can be suspended without entailing additional expenditure whenever they are resumed, as ultimately they must be. For these reasons the idea of their temporary abandonment should not for a moment be seriously entertained. This opinion will, I anticipate, be concurred in by Honourable Members, for on the 13th October, 1890, it was authoritatively stated by an influential Councillor that it was the "unanimous wish" of the taxpayers and ratepayers that a Loan should be raised to meet the cost of Public Works Extraordinary. Shortly after my arrival I referred the matter to a Committee of this Council. They reported, and apparently overlooking the "unanimous wish" of the taxpayers, suggested that instead of raising a Loan the Government should obtain the funds it might require from time to time by overdrawing its account at the Bank. This course did not recommend itself to me, as it would certainly be a most extravagant one, seeing that Government could borrow money in London at a much lower rate than it would have to pay for overdrafts.
The existence of available assets in the shape of Crown Lands was also mentioned as a reason against raising a Loan. But, whilst I can quite understand the natural hesitation of Honourable Members to increase the indebtedness of the Colony, it must be evident that the existing commercial depression entirely precludes the realization of large assets by the sale of

land. From whatever point of view, therefore, the matter is regarded, the only logical conclusion that can be arrived at is that further postponement in regard to raising a Loan is impossible.
In acknowledging the report of the Committee, I stated that though I did not agree in its recommendations, yet, looking to the ability and experience of its members, I would not proceed further in the matter at that moment. Nevertheless I asked the Secretary of State to permit me to contract a Loan if the financial position did not improve; and by a despatch dated 29th July I received that permission, sanctioning a Loan not exceeding £200,000. The works which his Lordship considers most urgently necessary are the completion of the Central Market, the Praya Reclamation, the Water and Drainage undertakings, and the improvement in Gaol accommodation.
He does not consider that any works beyond these should be charged to the Loan, but he consents to its also bearing the expense for such works which may have been incurred during the current year.
The Secretary of State has decided that the amount of £200,000 shall be raised by Inscribed stock, and not by Debentures, as was the case with the first Loan.
Ordinances to give effect to this decision will accordingly be laid before you. As the public works to be constructed will not be immediately remunerative, the contribution to a sinking fund will be deferred, and these contributions will probably commence three years from the date on which the interest on the amount raised begins to accrue.
The Loan Ordinance will be accompanied by a schedule setting forth all the public works upon which the money will be expended. It is to be hoped that the Loan will be allowed to run for 50 years as thereby better terms would be secured by borrowing for that time than for a shorter period. On this and other points further instructions will be sent to me by the Secretary of State before the end of this month, and when received they will be immediately communicated to you.
In the Draft Estimates a sum sufficient to meet the interest on the Loan and other charges which will have to be paid in 1893 has been inserted. It has been estimated that $40,000 will be required for that purpose, and this is the new item I referred to at the commencement of my speech. With this addition the Estimates show a surplus of $6,785 of Revenue over Ordinary Expenditure.
Assuming your ready concurrence in these proposals, I shall, in accordance with the wish expressed by the un-official members of Council in their memo. of the 20th December, 1890, afford every possible information in regard to these works, and whenever and wherever practicable, designs, drawings and plans of them will be submitted to you.
If Honourable Members desire it a Standing Public Works Committee with the Director of Public Works as Chairman might be appointed to superintend and to control the expenditure of the amounts raised under the proposed Loan Ordinance.
In the memo. to which I have just referred a hope was expressed by Honourable Members that the vote of $40,000, which they considered as merely guesswork, for the construction of a residence at the Peak for the Governor would not be exceeded later on. In the Esti- mates drawn up by the Director of Public Works a sum of $55,000 is inserted for that object. It may be possible to reduce that amount, but, if reduced, I am informed that it will necessitate considerable alteration in the plans that have already been prepared, and possibly an abandonment of the new site selected. In reference to this work the Secretary of State requires to be furnished with a report as to its urgency and necessity, and no step will be taken towards commencing it until the plans, &c., have been approved by the Council and his Lordship.
There is one other point to which it is desirable to refer, and that is the comparative advantage of borrowing in gold in England, rather than in silver locally.
This question was fully discussed in 1886 and 1887 and special reference was made to it in my address of 25th January last. An interesting and important despatch on the subject from Lord STANLEY, dated 2nd February, 1886, was also laid before the Council, and to these documents I would venture to direct your careful attention.
The possibility of effecting retrenchment in the public service has naturally engaged my most anxious consideration. In that service vested interests cannot be disregarded, and all retrenchment consequently must be more or less of a prospective nature. I have publicly stated that when opportunities arise I will take advantage of them, but time is required to effect all such reforms. The Civil Service is to a certain extent over officered, and the salaries of the Clerical service are capable of reduction as vacancies occur. There is no doubt also that the cost of the Police is extremely heavy, and that in future by extending the term of service which qualifies Indian and Chinese constables for pensions considerable savings may be effected.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
As there exists in our midst an industrious and generally honest Portuguese community, and as many respectable Chinese are qualifying for public employment, there will be no necessity, except in rare cases, to recruit the Clerical service, as distinct from the Civil Service proper, by the appointment into it of Englishmen hereafter. I propose therefore a reorgani- zation of the Clerical Establishment, and a division of that Establishment into 6 classes, with salaries ranging from $360 per annum in the lowest to $2,400 per annum in the highest class. It will be found on comparison that the average salaries to be paid under this scheme will exceed the average paid in Singapore, Mauritius, and Ceylon, and will be more liberal than the salaries paid by the best private firms in Hongkong.
For Portuguese and Chinese clerks these salaries will be found sufficient. These officers do not labour under the disadvantages that Europeans do. As they have not as a rule to remit money to Europe, as they are domiciled here and acclimatized, they can live less expensively, with less risk, and far more comfortably, than Englishmen occupying corres- ponding positions. This reorganization will ultimately effect a saving of between $25,000 and $30,000 a year. In arriving at this conclusion and making this statement, I wish it to be fully understood that I do not in any way undervalue the services of the Portuguese officers now employed in the Departments of Government. They are trustworthy and industrious public servants, and several of them have satisfactorily and faithfully fulfilled their duties for a quarter of a century and upwards.
/
With regard to the Civil Service proper, I have suggested to the Secretary of State several important changes, in the way of abolition and amalgamation of appointments and also reduction of salaries as opportunities occur, by which, if agreed to, a further saving of from $25,000 to $30,000 a year will be secured. To some of these recommendations his Lord- ship has already consented.
The strength of the Military Forces now stationed in Hongkong and the peaceable and orderly conduct of the population generally render it possible to diminish the cost of the Police. The growth of that force, and the concurrent growth of the Pension list, have in recent years been very remarkable. In 1882 the cost of Pensions was $9,000 and in 1891 $22,000. The time has arrived when they can safely be checked and I hope permanently. reduced. The Captain Superintendent has materially assisted the Government by suggesting economies amounting in the whole to $15,000 a year, and these will be effected by a slight alteration in the composition of the Force and by the exercise of greater care in regard to the issue of clothing and stores. This reduction is irrespective of that which I
in propose regard to Pensions in the future.
If you will add these figures together, taking the lowest of them you will see that a prospective saving of at least $65,000 a year is contemplated. Retrenchment in several directions has, as I have indicated, already commenced, whilst year by year the amount saved will, on the occurrence of vacancies, increase until the extreme limit is reached.
one.
The question of the erection of a new Gaol has for several years been a very burning Soon after my assumption of the Government I made a representation to the Secretary of State on the subject. I urged his Lordship to reconsider the view which he had previously expressed that a new Prison should be built, block by block, on a site different to that occupied by the existing Prison. I am glad to say that my representation has not been altogether unsuccessful. The Secretary of State has agreed to forego the construction of a new Prison on condition that the "glaring deficiencies," as he describes them, in the present Gaol are removed, and that provision is made for the confinement of Criminal Prisoners on the separate system. This will necessitate the acquisition of additional space, which is available in the neighbourhood of the Gaol, and the remodelling of the cells now used as associated cells. It will of course be necessary for me to satisfy his Lordship that these conditions are not only capable of fulfilment, but will be fulfilled. When that is done the question may be considered as finally, and, I trust, satisfactorily, settled. I appointed a Committee to go thoroughly into the matter and it has just reported. The cost of the proposed works will be $250,000, whereas $600,000 at least would have been required for the construction on an open site of a new cellular prison. I strongly recommend you to accept this solution of the difficulty and, by agreeing to the Report of the Committee and by consenting to the Loan, to give me power to carry out without unnecessary delay the suggested improvements.
With regard to the general condition of the Colony it is hardly necessary to point out that it has not fully recovered from the commercial crisis of exceptional severity through which it has recently passed. Business of nearly every description is still unfortunately somewhat depressed and it will be more or less disorganized throughout the East so long as the existing uncertainty as to the future of silver continues.

The value of land and house property is very low, and the price of shares in most of the local Companies and enterprises has fallen so heavily that large sums of money are locked up and cannot be realized except at a ruinous loss. While the legitimate business of the Colony has not fallen off, a large portion of its capital has been transferred to other countries by somewhat reckless and certainly regrettable speculation.
Though there may be no immediate prospect of rapid improvement, we may look forward to the future hopefully.
The value of land and rents has begun to have an upward tendency. The large volume of trade which is ensured by the unique geographical position of the Colony is increasing. The population, perhaps one of the most industrious in the world, is growing daily, and the public Revenue, although it is not of a very elastic character, must be directly benefitted by the completion of the Praya, the Central Market, and other depots which will at once be accelerated by the issue of the new Loan.
The frequent fluctuations in silver and eastern exchange are naturally creating great difficulties, and indeed consternation, in countries in which the silver standard is in force, as well as in one of the largest and wealthiest counties in England. It is sincerely to be hoped that the Monetary Conference which is about to meet will decide on some sort of bimetallism which will at all events give a fixity of value to silver coin, which appears to be the first consideration. If such should be the case the effect would be immediately felt by the energetic business community of this well-favoured Island.
The question of preferential duties in favour of Chinese Junks and to the detriment of European ships and steamers in the Canton River has been, as you are aware, satisfactorily settled at least for the present.
I had the pleasure of discussing this matter and the more important one, perhaps, of the contemplated Telegraph Convention with Her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at Peking, Mr. O'CONOR, when he passed through Hongkong at the beginning of the month. I think we may safely anticipate that His Excellency will do all that he possibly can to prevent the ratification of that Convention.
The propriety of reorganizing and re-establishing the Volunteer Force was referred by me in May last to a representative Committee of citizens. They have reported strongly in favour of it, and have attributed the complete failure that has hitherto attended each successive effort to establish a permanent and effective Volunteer Force in Hongkong, to a want of inducement, encouragement, and sufficient liberality on the part of the Government. The scheme proposed by the Committee would involve an additional expense of at least $8,000 a year if adopted in its entirety. I propose to refer the matter to the Finance Committee by suggesting a specific grant of about $10,000 for the initial cost and $13,000 for the annual maintenance of the Corps. This appeal for support comes at a most inopportune moment, but some of the recommendations of the Committee are undoubtedly good, and others can be accepted with modifications. The Volunteer Force is entitled to favourable consideration on account of its past services. If it were to cease to exist it is possible that the Imperial Government might insist upon some pecuniary contribution in lieu of it. I therefore advise its maintenance on more liberal terms than now exist, if, by the 31st December next, 150 men have in writing stated that they are ready and willing to join the force and fulfil the conditions to be imposed upon them.
With reference to Education it is gratifying to observe that steady progress is being made. Over 10,000 scholars are under instruction. The Government in conjunction with a member of this Council, who is noted for his princely munificence in aid of this cause, is about to provide educational facilities for the hitherto neglected Eurasian girls, and when the New Girls' Central School is completed, it will at once be occupied by about 250 pupils, of whom 110 will be Eurasians, and 140 Chinese. Owing to the action of the Government, local missions are also bestirring themselves in the same direction. Out of a total of about $84,000 to be expended this year by the Government on education, Victoria College is responsible for no less a sum than $19,000. During 1893, I trust it will be possible for the Headmaster and Committee of the College to suggest a reduction in this charge, and also that the Chinese inhabitants of Hongkong, whose children principally benefit by this excel- lent Institution, will not be averse to the payment of a rather higher fee than that now imposed.
It may also be possible to reduce the expenditure in other ways.
Much remains to be done by Government in respect to elementary education, for which at present there are not sufficient funds.
There are, I regret to say, some 20,000 children who attend no school whatever. The grant-in-aid system, which is a most admirable one, has been extended during the course of the year. No less than 14 new grant-in-aid schools have been started, indicating an extra-
"
1004
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH NOVEMBER, 1892.
ordinary increase in the demand for education. These 14 new schools include 2 English schools, 6 Chinese girls' schools, 5 Chinese boys' schools, and 1 Chinese mixed village school. Only once before has there been a similar increase, namely, in 1881 when 13 new schools were opened by managers. The average annual increase has been 6 only. There are now 95 grant-in-aid schools at work.
It is my desire in the interests of the general community to encourage voluntary educa- tional enterprise, and to extend in every direction the grant-in-aid system.
With regard to physical drill, a very important matter, the successful parade which was held last Monday on the Cricket Ground, and which was attended by upwards of 500 scholars, will prove to those interested in Education that the physical not less than the mental development of the boys has been attended to.
The number of Criminal cases in the Supreme Court this year does not show any striking contrast with the number last year, but the returns for 1891 and 1892, taken together, exhibit a marked diminution in crime as compared with previous years. The number of cases tried up to date is only 27. In 1891, the number was 32. The average annual number of cases between 1887 and 1890 was 86. A considerable portion of this decrease is of course owing to the increased power given to Magistrates in 1891, to deal summarily with indictable offences. Notwithstanding this, it may fairly be said that the condition of the Colony with regard to crimes of the more serious kind is satisfactory.
There have been no trials for extensive embezzlement and theft, though certainly two most flagrant cases occurred, the culprits escaping from the Colony. There has been only one trial for murder, and no charges of Piracy during the year. It is a matter for congra- tulation that within recent years serious robbery by armed bands, with violence, which used in former days to be a very common offence has ceased to exist. This is no doubt owing to the deportation of criminals, a policy which is much appreciated by and enlists the sympathies of the respectable Chinese residents in the Colony.
Cordially acknowledging the assistance which the Chinese community affords the Government in the suppression of crime, I trust that this aid will be continued, and that the policy of the Government in ridding the Colony of well-known dangerous characters will be supported and diligently persevered in.
The total tonnage in and out in 1891 was 14,005,698 tons, but it seems probable that that return will be eclipsed by the entries and clearances of this year. Up to the 31st October they amounted to 11,703,851 against 11,661,446 tons for the corresponding period last year. There has also been a slight revival in emigration. Up to the 31st October 43,024 emigrants have left for various ports, against 39,360 for the same period in 1891. The action of Canada, the United States, and, of the Australian Colonies renders it impossible that emi- gration should ever again assume the proportions it attained some years ago.
The Colony has been mercifully preserved from storm and pestilence during the last ten months. The neighbouring coasts, however, have not been exempt froin these dire visitations. Though Hongkong itself has been spared, we have nevertheless to regret the loss of several members of this community owing to the wreck of the mail steamer Bokhara on 10th October. Tragedies of this nature, and the attendant suspense, until the true facts are ascertained, are at all times terrible, but they are doubly so, when as in this case, many of the victims were residents in the Colony, young and promising members of their several professions, and all so well known and deservedly respected.
I am not guilty of exaggeration when I say that the widest and deepest sympathy has been aroused by this disaster, which in the history of Hongkong is unparalleled.
The tangible proofs of this sympathy which will be offered by this Community and that of Shanghai and Canton to the relatives of those lost, will doubtless be appreciated by them, not for their intrinsic value, but as testimony to the worth and character of those who have been taken from them.
The Po Leung Kuk Committee has not completed its enquiries. The institution has been and is a very valuable one, and I trust that its sphere of usefulness may be safely extended, rather than contracted.
It is possible not to say probable that the Marine Lot holders and others interested in the Praya Reclamation may appeal to the Government for some temporary assistance. Such an appeal if it is made will, I can assure you, receive my most careful consideration. I am most anxious to facilitate in every way the completion of the reclamation, which will ultimately amongst other things be of great advantage to the General Revenue.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH NOVEMBER, 1892. 1005
In the coming session I do not propose to trouble members with much fresh Legislation. Of course there will be the usual Appropriation Ordinances and also the Loan Ordinance. Amendments will be proposed in the Vagrancy, Medical, Probate and Marriage Ordinances, and there may perhaps be one or two private Bills.
With your hearty co-operation in carrying these measures through Council, we may therefore anticipate a short and comparatively uneventful session.
In conclusion, gentlemen, I have only to express an earnest hope that there may be a revival of prosperity in the fortunes of the Colony during the year 1893, and that under any circumstances, you will assist me in endeavouring to promote, as far as possible, the welfare and happiness of all classes of Her Majesty's subjects in Hongkong.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the $12.00 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.

SIR,
DOWNING STREET,
7th July, 1892.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your confidential despatch of the 22nd of February last on the subject of the additional provision required for prison purposes at Hongkong.
In that despatch you urge me to reconsider the view which I had previously expressed that a new prison should be built, block by block, on a site different from that of the present prison, and you submit a scheme for adding to the accommodation provided by the existing buildings on the present restricted site.
..
2. I share your desire not to force upon the Colony a scheme for a new and expensive prison, if, as I admit is probable, such a measure would be met by protests from the un-official members of the Legislative Council and would be strongly opposed by public opinion on the spot; and assuming that another course can be found which will remove the present glaring deficiencies and make it possible to provide for the confinement of the criminal prisoners on the separate system, I shall be prepared to reconsider and modify my instructions. At the same time, I have not altered my opinion that the only fully satisfactory solution of the question would be the construction on a thoroughly open site of a new cellular prison.
3. I am prepared under all the circumstances to approve as a compromise, the enlargement of the present prison area, with additions to the existing prison buildings, and the provision of some additional space for exercise and for working the prisoners. The suggestions contained in your despatch do not however, as you will perceive, meet what I consider to be the requirements of the case, for they would involve the further overcrowding of a space already glaringly overcrowded; and in this and other respects they may be regarded as creating evils not now existing. At the same time I do not object to substituting a flat roof for the present ridge over the Convict working shed in the yard at the south-east angle of the building and surmounting this flat roof by a second one supported on columns, so as to give two open sheds for working instead of one.
4. Turning to more general matters, I may observe that in my opinion it must be regarded as a necessary feature in any scheme of compromise, that it

should provide separate cells for the total number of male prisoners belonging to the criminal class calculated on an average of, say, the last four years. The average 1888,.....531 total of prisoners of all ages and sexes for that period was 546; and from these 1990566 may perhaps be deducted juveniles, women, debtors, non-criminal mendicants, 1891,......507 defaulters, persons incarcerated for minor police offences and a certain proportion 4) 2,185 of "gamblers." The balance of average numbers, which I have not the materials for estimating correctly, should be regarded as the basis on which to calculate the requirements of the Colony in the matter of cellular accommodation.
546
5. The present prison buildings if remodelled on the separate system would provide for about 280 prisoners, but whether it would not be expedient to leave a part of the buildings in their present form, so as to accommodate those classes of prisoners in respect of whom the separate system may not be deemed indispensable, is a question which must be decided in Hongkong.
6. In any case it will be necessary to acquire and to make use of space additional to that now covered by the prison and police buildings. At the north- east of the prison and police compound there is a piece of ground, described on the plan of Hongkong as block No. 215, which is at present waste, and which it has always, as I understand, been intended to utilize directly or indirectly for prison improvement. On the west side divided by a roadway from the present prison buildings, there is a lot (No. 124) at least one half of which, I understand, may be secured by purchase. I much doubt, however, whether these additions to the available space will prove sufficient; and my consent to modify my previous views cannot be regarded as final, unless and until you are able to satisfy me either that they are so, or that some additional space can be acquired.
7. On lot No. 124, or on so much of it as can be acquired, a three-storeyed block might be built containing three stories of cells which would probably represent a large proportion of the additional cellular accommodation which is requisite. The new buildings could be connected by a bridge with the main buildings.
8. Probably the best use to which block No. 215 could be put, would be to rebuild on it the Magistrates' Court as proposed by Mr. BROWN in 1890, the site now occupied by the Court being appropriated for prison purposes.
9. It would be well no doubt that the area north of the existing prison buildings proper, now belonging to the police department, should be cleared wholly or to a great extent, of the cook-houses, latrines, baths, &c.; but I should deprecate the plan of again covering the space by a three-storeyed block containing cells, nor should I regard favourably a plan for rebuilding the demolished buildings, &c. on a site which would seriously cramp the space now available as a police parade ground.
2
10. I shall be glad if you will consider these suggestions; and if you regard them as indicating a way by which a practical and acceptable settlement of this important matter may be effected, you are at liberty to take steps at once for treating for such land as may be required. If such land cannot be obtained on fair terms and if the Government has not right of compulsory purchase in regard to it, it will be for you to consider whether you should not apply to the Council for fresh powers.
11. In dealing with any further scheme which you may submit, it would be of great assistance to me if you would supply me with photographs of the buildings from several points--some of them taken from an elevation-showing their relative positions and altitudes. I should also be glad to have sections of the slope on which the police and prison buildings are built, one drawn as from the east and one as from the west, the buildings by which the site is covered being as far as possible shown on such sections.
I have the honour to be,

The following Correspondence respecting the proposed loan, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 30th ultimo, is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 1st December, 1892.
G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.
DOWNING STREET, LONDON,
20th October, 1892.
SIR,
We have been furnished by the Secretary of State for the Colonies with a copy of an extract from your despatch of the 6th September last asking to be furnished with a statement of the advantages of issuing Inscribed Stock instead of Debenture or other securities, and for information as to the rate at which we could probably issue such stock.
2. In compliance with this request I have the honour to state that the principal arguments in favour of the issue of Inscribed Stock are as follows:
At
(a) Greater security to the holder. Debentures, being transferable by delivery, are frequently excluded from the scope of Trust invest- ments and are sometimes objected to by ordinary investors. the present time, when the reduction of the interest borne by the Imperial Funds and the enhancement in price of Corporation Stocks and of the leading Railway Securities is turning the atten- tion of Trustees very largely towards Colonial Government secu- rities, this consideration is of great importance.
(b) The ease, and at the, same time, the safety with which transfers are effected in the Register, free of cost, a characteristic which makes Inscribed Stock specially acceptable to those who require to con- duct frequent financial operations on the basis of the security of the stock.
(c) The facilities for investing small sums, even to shillings and pence, instead of being limited, as in the case of Debentures, to multiples of £100. This facility attracts small investors and is especially useful in dealing with the investment of small and numerous dividends.
(d) The opportunity which the issue of successive instalments of stock under identical conditions as regards rate of interest and date of redemption offers for building up a line of stock sufficiently large to be fairly marketable, a qualification which enhances the attractiveness of the stock to all classes of investors.
,
(e) The circumstance that Inscribed Stock has established itself so firmly in the Colonial Market that a Debenture issue would, under ordinary conditions, be expected to realise a fractionally lower price than stock.
3. As regards the rate at which we think it possible to issue Hongkong Inscribed Stock we should, in present circumstances, expect to obtain from 103 to 104 for a 4 per cent. stock having 50 years currency. At the same time we should seriously consider the advisability of issuing 3 per cent. stock of the same currency. If such a stock could be placed at from 93 to 95 the saving in interest, as compared with a 4 per cent. at 103, capitalised over the currency of the loan, would largely outweigh the loss on redemption of the stock at par, and, as affecting the future borrowings of the Colony and the terms on which debt conversions may be effected, the establishment of a stock on a 3 per cent. basis would be of immense advantage. I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
M. F. OMMANNEY.

H.M.S. Victor Emanuel, HONGKONG, 29th November, 1892. SIR, I have the honour to enclose, for Your Excellency's information, extracts from a letter of proceedings of Captain ANGUS MACLEOD, of H.M.S. Pallas, reporting on the state of the burial places of the bodies washed ashore from the wreck of the S.S. Bokhara.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your Excellency's obedient Servant,

SIR WILLIAM ROBINSON, K.C.M.G.,

REPORTING PROCEEDINGS.
H. BURY PALLISER, Commodore.
H.M.S. Pallas,
HONGKONG, 28th November, 1892.
SIR, I have the honour to report that, in accordance with your orders of the 17th November, I proceeded to sea from Hongkong, in Her Majesty's ship under my command, at 1.15 P.M. on that date, and, favoured with good weather, arrived and anchored off Anping (Formosa) at 3.30 P.M. on the 18th.
2. Mr. PELHAM WARREN, H.B.M. Consul, who had just arrived from Takow, came on board and informed me that he would like to go to the Pescadores in the ship, to arrange the payment of money promised for burial of bodies washed ashore from the Bokhara, and to clear up matters in general connected with the wreck of that vessel, if I could wait until after the arrival of the mail due S.S. Thales early on the following morning.
3. To this I agreed and remained at Anping until 10 A.M. on the 19th, when, having embarked the Consul, and Mr. HASTINGS (of Anping) as interpreter, as well as to have the benefit of his know- ledge of the Pescadores, and of the steps already taken about the burials there, I proceeded towards that group.
The wind from N.E. was rising, and the weather looked rather dirty, becoming decidedly more so on approaching Litsitah Point.
Passing the mouth of the Makung Harbour, I was abreast of and within of a mile of Tortoise Rock at 3.30 PM., but observed no signs whatever of the wreck of the S.S. Normand.
4. Going in cautiously I was able to drop a boat close inside, and to leeward of, the Western reefs of Sand Island, where the only practicable landing place is situated.
The Consul, Senior Lieutenant C. H. MOORE, and Mr. HASTINGS went on shore and spent over an hour, guided by the Chinese burying party and military guard, in visiting the graves.
It was found that, considering the difficulties under which it had to be carried out, the work undertaken by the local authorities had been performed very creditably, and that an accurate record had been kept corresponding with the marks on the graves. None of these appeared to be below high- water level, but in view of the light sandy covering over most of them and the possibility of damage from rain and wind in such exposed places, it was decided to further secure them by building perma- nent cairns of stones and thus complete the work of sepulture.
5. While the landed party were making their examination, I proceeded, in the ship, entirely round the Island, passing within 3 cables from the wreck of the Bokhara, marked by three spars broken away from the ship but held to her by their rigging, and close alongside the remarkable flat black reef which, with its straight face, is like an extensive wharf and accounts for the comparatively large number of survivors who were washed on to its table-land, from the upper deck, and remained there without any risk of a back-wash carrying them out again.
Had the Bokhara struck on any of the other parts of the island, irregular and serrated, the loss of life must surely have been, like that in the case of the Normand, almost complete.
6. Embarking the landed party before dusk and having arranged with the burying men to visit Pehoe Island as soon as convenient, I proceeded for Makung and anchored in that harbour at 7.50 P.M. 7. On the morning of the 20th, the S.S. Samson (tug) which had been sheltering under Litsitah Point, came across and communicated.
I
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD DECEMBER, 1892.
1035
Captain BUCHANAN, her master, who has charge of the salvage operations, informed me that the weather is as a rule so bad at Sand Island and the back-wash from the reef's base, where the wreck lies, so great, that the diver only gets down, and then only for short periods, about every ten days.
A portion of the treasure has been recovered, in getting at which dynamite had to be used, and the cargo has apparently washed out of the ship. The decks have fallen in diagonally over the treasure room. The engines can be distinctly seen in calm weather, about 15 feet below the surface
at low water.
Captain BUCHANAN spoke very highly of the assistance given, and the protection from looting rendered, by the various officials acting under the direct orders of the Chentai.
8. At noon on the same day accompanied by the Consul, I called officially upon WANG-CHIH-SHENG, the Chentai, or General, and afterwards upon PAN-WEN-FUNG, the Ting, or Magistrate, and obtained from them detailed accounts of the bodies recovered and buried, one hundred and one in all, (Enclosure No. 1), in numerous graves on five different islands, some of the latter unapproachable under ordinary circumstances of the prevailing bad weather.
10. On the 21st, the barometer being more hopeful, I left Makung at 9.15 A.M., and proceeded again to Ta-tsang Bay, Pehoe Island, where I anchored at 10.30 A.M.
11. The Consul, Senior Lieutenant C. H. MOORE, and Mr. HASTINGS landed and spent nearly five hours in inspecting the various graves, spread widely apart, and found them carefully and efficiently made and marked. In some cases cairns will be erected, by an arrangement made between the Consul and the Headman on Pehoe, under approval of the, Chentai, the fullest attention to all the points considered necessary is ensured.
I may here remark that, all the graves are registered in the Offices of the petty local officials, who state that they can be easily pointed out even if the marks should be obliterated by storms, and I am convinced that although, naturally, relatives of the dead may regret that individual identification is impossible, they may feel quite satisfied that the friendly Chinese islanders buried the bodies decently and reverently, and that the future preservation of the graves will be properly attended to under the supervision of the Chentai's officers.
I have the honour to be,
Commodore

Notice is hereby given that the undermentioned Buoys have been laid down in Hainan Strait :-
MIDDLE CHANNEL.
Middle Channel Buoy,-A ten-foot conical buoy painted in red and black horizontal bands and surmounted by a black spherical cage, moored in 13 fathoms. Approximate position Latitude 20° 17′ 35′′ N., Longitude 110° 58′ 20′′ E. This buoy marks the fairway of the eastern entrance to the Middle Channel.

Magpie Rock Buoy.-A six-foot conical black buoy surmounted by a black triangular cage, moored in 8 fathoms about 2 cables to the eastward of the rock, and about 1 miles to the south eastward of Hainan Point. This buoy must be left on the port hand by vessels entering the Strait from the eastward.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD DECEMBER, 1892.
Hainan Head Bank Buoy.-A six-foot conical red buoy surmounted by a black inverted frustum cage, moored in 4 fathoms, about 9 cables N. 67° E. from Hainan Point. This buoy must be left on the starboard hand by vessels entering the Strait from the eastward.
Hainan Reef Buoy.-A six-foot conical black buoy surmounted by a black spherical cage moored in 12 fathoms about 2 cables to the northward of the outer rock of Hainan Reef which is marked on the British Admiralty Chart No. 876: "dries 4 feet." This buoy must be left on the port hand by vessels entering the Strait from the eastward.
The bearings given are magnetic and the depths are for low water of spring tides.
DIRECTIONS.
With the buoys in the positions above described the best track for vessels to follow when using the South Channel is to pass 3 cables eastward of the Magpie Rock Buoy and then steer to pass the Hainan Head Bank Buoy at about the same distance, taking care to guard against being set towards the shore, and remembering that it is safe to borrow towards the banks on the starboard hand, of which the lead, which should be kept going, will give warning, while on the other side the bottom is rocky and uneven and the lead gives no warning. The Hainan Reef Buoy may be rounded at a distance of one cable or more, at discretion.

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 w 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.

And whereas by Section 9 of the same Ordinance, it is enacted that the Governor shall publish every such Order by Proclamation in the Gazette, and every Order when so published shall have the same effect as if it had been inserted in the above named Ordinance.
Now, therefore, I, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, in Council do by this Proclamation order that the Table hereto annexed be the Table of Rates of Postage on parcels posted at the General Post Office of this Colony or its Agencies till further orders.

ENTITLED
An Ordinance to declare the terms and conditions applicable to Loans authorised to be raised by the Government of Hongkong and to
W
provide for the creation of
Inscribed Stock. ·
HEREAS it is expedient to define in one Ordinance the terms and conditions applicable to Loans here- after authorised to be raised by the Legislature of the Co- lony of Hongkong.
And whereas it is expedient to provide for the creation. of Inscribed Stock, and to enable this Colony to take ad- vantage of the provisions of the Acts of the Imperial Par- liament, intituled The Colonial Stock Acts 1877 and 1892. Be it therefore enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-
1. In this Ordinance unless the context otherwise re- quires--
91
The expression "Governor means the person for the time being administering the Government of Hongkong.
The expression "Crown Agents" means the person or persons for the time being acting as Crown Agents for the Colonies in England.
2. As often as by any ordinance authority shall have been given or shall hereafter be given to raise any sum of money whether by Debentures or otherwise for the purpose mentioned in such Ordinance, the Governor may from time to time raise such sum by the issue of Inscribed Stock to te called "Hongkong Inscribed Stock."
3. The principal moneys and interest secured by the Inscribed Stock issued under the provisions of this Ordi- nance are hereby charged upon and shall be payable out of the General Revenues and assets of the Government of Hongkong.
4. Such Stock shall be issued in England by the Crown Agents under the provisions of the Acts of the Imperial Parliament intituled The Colonial Stock Acts 1877 and 1892, upon the best and most favourable terms that can be obtained, provided that the interest on such Inscribed Stock shall not exceed 43 per centum per annum.
5. All the Inscribed Stock which may be created under the provisions of this Ordinance shall be redeemable at par on a date to be named in that belalf by the Crown Agents when issuing the Stock, such date not being later than fifty years from the date of issue. From and after which date all interest on the principal moneys secured thereby shall cease and determine whether payment of the principal shall have been demanded or not.
6. So long as any of the Inscribed Stock shall remain unconverted or unredeemed the Governor shall in each half year ending with the day on which the interest on such Inscribed Stock falls due, appropriate out of the General Revenues and assets of the Government of Hongkong a sum equal to one half-year's interest on the whole of such Inscribed Stock, and shall remit that sum to the Crown Agents at such time as will enable them to pay thereout the then current half-year's interest on the day when it falls duc. After the date specified in the Ordinance authorizing an issue of Inscribed Stock as that on which the contribu- tion to the Sinking Fund shall commence the Governor shall further appropriate out of the said Revenues and Assets in each half-year ending as aforesaid an additional sum for the formation of a Sinking Fund equal to ten shillings per centum on the total nominal amount of such Inscribed Stock and shall remit that sum to the Crown Agents with the remittance herein before mentioned.
7. The contribution to the Sinking Fund shall be applied as follows:-
(a) If the price of the Inscribed Stock be below par at the time when the contributions are received the Crown Agents shall, if practicable, purchase therewith the Inscribed Stock in the market and shall cancel in the Register the Stock so pur- chased.
+

(b) The Crown Agents shall invest so much of the con- tributions as shall not be applied in the purchase of Inscribed Stock, and the dividends, interest, or produce of such investments in the purchase of such Debenture, Stock, or other security, as may from time to time be approved by Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, and shall hold such fund in trust for repayment of the principal moneys for the time being secured by the Inscribed Stock.
8. In case the Sinking Fund shall be insufficient to pro- vide the necessary Funds for the redemption of the Inscribed Stock when it shall become due, the deficiency shall be made good out of the General Revenues and assets of Hongkong.
9. All expenses of or incidental to the management of the Sinking Fund or to the repayment of the principal moneys borrowed shall be paid out of the Sinking Fund.
10. The Governor shall also have and may from time to time exercise the following powers and authorities, or any of them:
(a) He
may declare all or any of the Loans issued by or on behalf of Hongkong whether existing in the form of Stock or Debentures and inclusive of the loan issued under Ordinance No. 11 of 1886 the short title whereof is The Loan Ordinance 1886 to be convertible into Inscribed Stock to be issued under the provisions of this Ordinance.
(b) He may authorize the creation and issue of such amount of Inscribed Stock in exchange for the Securities held for such Loans as may be ne-
cessary.
(c) He may authorize the creation and sale of any such Inscribed Stock for the purpose of raising money for redeeming any outstanding Loans, for paying any expenses in the creation of In- scribed Stock, and otherwise for carrying out the provisions of this Ordinance.
(d) Any conversion so authorized may be effected either by arrangement with the holders of exist- ing Securities or by purchase thereof out of moneys raised by the sale of Inscribed Stock, or partly in one way and partly in the other. 11. Nothing in this Ordinance contained shall authorize an increase of the capital or of the annual charge on any Loan except :--
(a) When Securities exchanged for Inscribed Stock bear a higher rate of interest than the Inscribed Stock an additional amount of Inscribed Stock may be created and issued to make up the differ- ence in saleable value between the Securities and the Inscribed Stock.
(b) In the case of the conversion of securities into Inscribed Stock, the Crown Agents shall issue such an amount of Inscribed Stock as may be required to defray the Stamp duties and all other expenses incidental to the conversion. 12. The Securities exchanged or otherwise converted into Inscribed Stock under the provisions of this Ordinance shall be forthwith cancelled by the Crown Agents, and the Debentures surrendered shall be cancelled and transmitted to the Government of Hongkong.
13. The Trustees of the Sinking Fund appointed under the Ordinance authorizing the issue of any Securities which may be exchanged into Inscribed Stock or cancelled or purchased under the provisions of this Ordinance, shall determine what amount of the Sinking Funds held by them and created for the repayment of such securities shall be released and in the determination of such question the Trustees shall take into consideration the value of the whole investments held by them on account of such Sinking Funds, the amount of the Debt remaining a charge on such Sinking Funds, and such other matters as the Trustees may think fit to take into account.

SIR,
IMPERIAL INSTITUTE
OF THE UNITED KINGDOM, THE COLONIES AND INDIA.
IMPERIAL INSTITUTE ROAD, LONDON, S.W., 28th October, 1892.
Sir FREDERICK ABEL, the Secretary of the Imperial Institute, has shewn me a copy of a letter which was addressed to your Excellency by him on the 6th February last, No. 52, and of the printed matter, photographs, &c. which accom- panied it, giving full information respecting the nature of the space in the Imperial Institute Buildings preliminarily allotted for the reception and display of specimens of the produce of Hongkong.
In view of it being understood that Her Majesty The QUEEN, who laid the Foundation Stone in 1887, will formally open the Imperial Institute in May or June next, I take the opportunity of urging upon your Excellency the importance of immediate action in order to secure a representation of the resources of the Colony at the time mentioned.
In order that your Excellency may be acquainted to some extent with the importance and usefulness of the Imperial Institute, I may mention that, although up to the present time a part only of the buildings has been (informally) thrown. open, over 3,000 persons, many of them being of considerable political and social standing, have become Fellows of the Imperial Institute. Certain of the greater Colonies have formed so high an opinion of the usefulness to their Communities of due representation at the Imperial Institute that their Governments have already made special Votes of money to be applied not only to the preparation of carefully arranged and classified collections, but also to the payment of a skilled Curator and the necessary Assistants at the Institute, and to the purchase of suitable Show Cases, &c. for the reception and display of such collections.
I trust that your Excellency and your Government and Legislature will agree that if the resources of the Colony of Hongkong are to be represented at the Im- perial Institute, it is highly desirable that the space allotted to it should not be unoccupied when public attention is so powerfully drawn to the Collections as it will be by their official opening to the public by the QUEEN, and by the Ceremonies connected therewith.
It will be recollected that the Hongkong Court attracted great attention at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition of 1886, and that it is important that the Colony should be also permanently represented in a similar manner at the Institute.
I would venture to suggest that Sir FREDERICK ABEL should be authorised by telegram to purchase Show Cases such as those indicated in the photographs for- warded to you by him (the cost of which would not exceed £100) and that, before February next, he may receive a collection of samples of the local industries, with other exhibits, for display therein; and also a sum of money (not exceeding £25) to be devoted to the remuneration of an experienced Officer, whom the Executive Council of the Institute will provide, to place the Collection in order.
I may add that I shall be glad to bring before the Governing Body the names of any gentlemen resident in, or connected with, Hongkong, who may be desirous of becoming Fellows of the Institute. The particulars of Fellowship are shewn in a Memorandum which, together with a Pamphlet descriptive of the Institute, will be forwarded to you by Sir FREDERICK ABEL.
In conclusion, I would only add that the warm interest which I shall always feel in all projects calculated to promote the welfare and increase the reputation of Hongkong will at once explain and justify my addressing your Excellency on this subject.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your Excellency's obedient Servant,
G. F. BOWEN,
Representative of Hongkong
on the Governing Body of the
Imperial Institute,
To His Excellency THE GOVERNOR,
HONGKONG.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 525.
The following is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th December, 1892.
HYDROGRAPHIC REMARKS.
H. M. S. Penguin.
Affecting Charts Nos. 1199, 1429 and 1770. Bearings given are magnetic.
Soundings reduced to low water spring tide.
G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.
Nu pi shan channel is the name given to the inshore winter route between the Kweshan islands and Footo channels and is enclosed on the east side by the west coast of Luh wang, the Mesan group, Mouse island and Holdernesse rocks: on the west side by Nu pi shan, the Corkers, Wheps and Pylades rock. It is 20 miles long; and, in its narrowest part, 3 miles broad, the depth throughout being from 3 to 6 fms. In the fairway, lies Starboard Jack, which is generally left on the starboard hand when heading up to the northward; but there is a safe passage between it and Tinker with depth of 6 fathoms, mud bottom.
In the winter months when the prevailing winds are from the north this channel will be found useful for vessels of 18 ft. draught.
Tides.-It is H. W. F. & C, at the Kweshan islands at 8 h. 33 m. springs rise 13ft. 6in. and, so far as the conformation of the land will allow, run thus-with a speed of one to three knots per hour according to The tidal streams are rotary; the age of the moon :-the first half of the flood between south and west; the last between west and north.
The first half of the ebb between north and east: the last between east and south.
Vessels wishing to make the most of the tidal stream, to approach the Yangtse, will pass Kweshan islands 2 hours after low water, and reach Footo two hours before high water by the shore. They will then have a swift tide through the Blackwall pass; and reach a position west of West Volcano island before the ebb stream has begun to make. stream will assist them slightly in their passage between West Volcano and Gutzlaff. The principal danger on the route is The ebb Hoar rock off the Rugged islands. Care must be taken not to bring S. W. Horn to bear west of south until Gutzlaff island is seen open to the west of Hen and Chicks or-supposing Gutzlaff to be not visible-until Hen and Chicks bear N.E. by E. Rule for determining the time of the most favourable stream.-Add 7 hours to the time of the moon's meridian passage as given in the Nautical Almanack for Greenwich; and the result will be the mean time at which a vessel should be abreast of Footo in order to make the most of the flood stream.
The same rule holds good for determining the time at which a vessel should be at the mouth of the Vernon pass. The Vernon pass is easily found by a bearing of Taou Hwa summit, which is by far the highest mountain for many miles around.
Footo channels.-The best is the Gough pass as it is free from dangers; it is steep to on both sides; and a straight course can be preserved throughout.
Duffield reef.-The outermost rock is 6 cables from Clarence point; and it dries 4 feet at low water. highest Duffield rock, which is rugged and steep to and 53 feet high, bears N.E., distant 12 cables. There is 46 fathoms From it, the within 2 cables of the outer rock.
Tides.-At Roundabout island it is H. W. F. & C. at 10h. 2m. springs rise 13ft. 2in.
At Footo H. W. F. & C. about 9h. 45m. springs rise 13 feet. The stream is slack when it is half tide by the shore. The flood stream runs to the N.E. about 3 hours after low water: the ebb to the south and west 3 hours after high water by the shore; the speed being 3 to 5 knots per hour according to the age of the moon.
The passage between Roundabout and the main is free from dangers; but the tide ripplings are severe.

Directions.Vessels drawing over 15 feet approaching the Yung river from the north, should keep about half a mile from the projecting points at the western side of Taping, Taoutse and Kintang islands, and not port for the Yu islands until the Joss houses on the summit of Citadel hill are seen in line with the left extreme of Yu islands, when a more westerly course may be adopted. It is not safe to approach Tsele within one mile on account of the Penguin bank which has 17 feet over it; and from which Tsele lighthouse bears N. 25° W. 54 cables and Nemesis rock beacon in line with Look-out hill bears S. 39° W., distant one mile. Before Nemesis rock is brought within a distance of one mile, Tiger island lighthouse must be brought open to the left of the Yu islands. Pass the south extreme of Tayusan at a distance of half a cable on the starboard hand; pass Sesostris rock buoy 50 yards distant on the port hand; and steer for the 3 tier fort at the north extreme of Chung point, taking care that the right or south extreme of Tayusan is kept just open to the left of Sesostris rock buoy. When Tsele lighthouse is hidden behind Tiger island, starboard to pass Chung point half a cable distant on the starboard hand. Having passed Chung point and got it on the starboard quarter, starboard again for mid channel: shave the fishing stakes as close as possible on the port side and proceed up the river, or anchor off Chinhai as convenient.

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 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.

"IMPERIEUSE" AT HONGKONG, 17th December, 1892.
SIR,--Having recently visited the Pescadores and Sand Island, in Her Majesty's Ship Alacrity, it will probably be of interest to your Excellency as well as to others in the Colony if I inform you of my proceedings, and of the state of the graves of the unfortunate passengers and crew lost in the Bokhara.
2. I arrived off Sand Island on the afternoon of the 8th instant, and was fortunately able to land there with several of the Officers of the Alacrity. We remained there about an hour. Nothing what- ever was to be seen of the ill-fated ship, but her position was clearly shown by her 3 masts which were washing to and fro, moored by their rigging to the hull. The coral beach was strewed with fragments, chiefly broken tea boxes, everything of value which had been washed ashore having been taken by the salvors or fishermen.
3. There were 2 or 3 Chinese soldiers on the Island guarding the wreck, the salvage steamer Sampson being at Makung, the weather having been too bad to allow of salvage operations at Sand Island for the three weeks previous to my visit.
4. The graves at Sand Island are in various places on the Island. One large grave containing, I think, 24 lascars was near the wreck, and there were others strewed about here and there, 38 bodies having been buried on the Island altogether, the details of which were given generally in Captain MACLEOD's report, a copy of which was sent to you.
All were fairly interred, though in some cases, evidently from the unpleasant effluvia, not too deeply, but each grave was well covered with sand and had a tally on which its contents were described, as nearly as possible, in Chinese characters.
For the present this is satisfactory, and I should not advocate the graves being disturbed now; .but before long the wind and rain and possibly the sea will expose some of the bodies and render re-
interment necessary.
I should accordingly propose that some months hence, giving time for relatives to take any action which they may think necessary, all the bodies on Sand Island should be buried in one grave on the Island, on which a cairn and perhaps a monument might be erected.
5. I did not visit the graves on the other islands, but there is little doubt from the enquiries I made, that my description of those on Sand Island applies to the others, though in most cases they are better sheltered and less exposed to the action of the weather.
I should propose to deal similarly with them to those at Sand Island, that is in the course of some months to have them examined, and probably re-interment will be necessary, in which case I should suggest that there should be one burial place with a cairn on each of the 3 Islands-Ponghon, Pehoe and Fisher Islands.
6. After leaving Sand Island I anchored at Makung for the night, and the next morning I paid a visit to the Chentai accompanied by Mr. WARREN, Her Majesty's Consul at Anping, when I again thanked him, on the part of Her Majesty's Government, and all who had assisted in relieving the wrecked people from the Bokhara, for the kindness shewn to the survivors and the reverent care that had been taken to inter the bodies.
I also thanked the Chentai for his promptness in sending junks to the assistance of the Pallas when she was ashore at Fatsang.
Before visiting the Pescadores I called at Anping and took Mr. WARREN, Her Majesty's Consul, on board who was so active in the endeavour to relieve the survivors of the Bokhara, as well as in making all the subsequent arrangements, so that I have been able to avail myself of his knowledge of all the circumstances, and I believe that he concurs with me in the suggestions I have made in this letter.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your Excellency's obedient Servant,
His Excellency
Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, K.C.M.G.,
Governor,
HONGKONG.

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

Hainan Head Bank Buoy.-A six-foot conical red Buoy, surmounted by a black inverted frustum cage, moored in 4 fathoms about 9 cables N. 67° E. from Hainan Point. This Buoy must be left on the starboard hand by vessels entering the Strait from the eastward.
Hainan Reef Buoy.-A six-foot conical black Buoy, surmounted by a black spherical cage, moored in 12 fathoms about 2 cables to the northward of the outer rock of Hainan Reef, which is marked on the British Admiralty Chart No. 876, "dries 4 feet." This Buoy must be left on the port hand by vessels entering the Strait from the eastward.

The bearings given are magnetic and the depths are for low water of spring tides.
DIRECTIONS.
With the Buoys in the positions above described, the best track for vessels to follow when using the South Channel is pass 3 cables eastward of the Magpie Rock Buoy and then steer to pass the Hainan Head Bank Buoy at about the same distance, taking care to guard against being set towards the shore, and remembering that it is safe to borrow towards the banks on the starboard hand, of which the lead, which should be kept going, will give warning, while on the other side the bottom is rocky and uneven and the lead gives no warning. The Hainan Reef Buoy may be rounded at a distance of 1 cable or more at discretion.

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.
